SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
ADOPT a position in SUPPORT of AB 90x by Assemblyman Bates, which
defines the boundaries of the East Bay Public Safety Corridor and
specifies the tasks the members of the Corridor may undertake.
BACKGROUND:
On March 1, 1994;1 the Board of Supervisors endorsed the East Bay
Public . Safety 1' Corridor Project and directed the, County
Administrator to recommend positions on legislation in support of
or resulting from the work of the East Bay Public Safety Corridor.
This is the first of those pieces of legislation.
As the Board will recall, Assemblyman Tom Bates has undertaken an
initiative to assure the residents of the East Bay Corridor that
every citizen will have the right to be safe on the streets, to
have healthy families and neighborhoods, and to share equally in
the opportunities of our community.
This initiative was undertaken by having the mayors of Oakland,
Berkeley and Richmond and their respective school districts sign a
memorandum of understanding in November, 1993 mutually pledging to
accomplish specified goals having to do with public safety,
Violence prevention, establishing programs for youth, stronger gun
control, expanding drug and alcohol prevention., treatment and
interdiction efforts and expanding their efforts to include other
jurisdictions .

The East Bay Public Safety Corridor has been expanded to include
invitations to the counties of Alameda and Contra Costa and the
cities and school districts stretching from at least the southern
boundary of Oakland through the northern boundary of the West
Contra Costa Unified School District. Invitations have been issues
to the cities and, school districts running as far south as Hayward.
If all communities in this area decide to join the Project, it will
run from the Carquinez Bridge through the City of Hayward.
AB 90x (the "x designating a Special Session bill) has been
introduced by Assemblyman Bates to define the physical boundaries
of East Bay Corridor and to identify some of the tasks the members
of the Corridor may undertake. The Corridor is defined as those
portions of the ' counties of Alameda and Contra Costa which are
within the cities of Berkeley, Oakland or Richmond and/or within
the boundaries of the Berkeley, Oakland or West Contra Costa
Unified School Districts. Any local agency within this area,
including the two counties, is entitled to join the Corridor.
In terms of tasks, AB 90x provides for members of the Corridor to
adopt a plan for public safety, crime prevention, youth, job
training and educational activities within the Corridor in order to
create and maintain a safe environment for residents of the
Corridor.
Members are also authorized to submit applications for funding to
the State and Federal governments and private foundations and to
establish a non-profit 501 (c) ( 3) organization to implement the
Corridor plan.
In view of the Board's endorsement of the East Bay Public Safety
Corridor concept,, it appears appropriate for the Board to also
indicate its support for AB 90x.
