contract. The study will cost less than $4 ,000 and will be paid
for by the Council . The Council is seeking the endorsement and co-
sponsorship of the study by the Board of Supervisors . In addition,
the Council is asking that the Board of Supervisors encourage all
county departments and other agencies which might have data which
would be useful for this study to make it available to the Council

this study, which may reveal some important information about what
it really costs to live a moderate lifestyle in Contra Costa County
today. We are, therefore, making the above recommendations .
