To: Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors 1"tT
From: Contra Costa/Alameda County Cattlemen ' s Assn.
Subject : Contra Costa County Tree Ordinance '
Dear Members of the Board of Supervisors :
The Cattlemen' s Association learned of the above ordinance in an
article printed in the Contra Costa Times on March 9, 1994 and it
is of great concern to many of our members .
X
At the present time there is a great deal of debate over the
Constitutional right of private landowners versus the right of
the government„ to regulate lands for public good, and this issue
is of vital concern to farmers and ranchers . Most farmers and
ranchers make every effort to make full use of their land and do '
it in the best possible manner.
In the past , the exclusion of farmers and ranchers in the
developing process of an acceptable ordinance, has lead to the
development of flawed and unrealistic proposals for "tree
preservation" in this county. This new ordinance is certainly no
exception.
We strongly urge that amendments be made in the ord,ii! n.c-re passed
on March 8, 1994 to exempt privately owned rangelands , which pose
no threat to tree preservation :in Contra Costa. County, from the
permit and regulatory aspect of this regulation .
Sincerely,
Cletus Gravette, President
CONTRA COSTA/ALAMEDA COUNTY CATTLEMEN' S ASSN.
