DATE:
ADOPT RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING INTENT OF MEASURE A (DISCOVERY
SUBJECT: BAY POLICE SERVICES TAX MEASURE)
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)A BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
( 1 ) Adopta resolution clearly establishing the intent of
Measure A (Discovery Bay police services tax measure) is to provide an
"enhanced and increased" level of patrol and police services for the
Discovery Bay area and does not include the service of transporting
arrestees to the main detention facility.
( 2) Request the Sheriff to prepare a letter to the
Discovery Bay Municipal Advisory Council clarifying this issue and
supporting this position.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Following the community town hall
meeting regarding Measure A (police services tax measure) a few weeks
ago, I spoke with Sheriff Rupf . regarding a legitimate concern by the'
public on staffing patterns . The Discovery Bay Municipal Advisory
Council and community proponents of Measure A have offered this
measure to the community to provide an "enhanced and increased" level
of patrol and police services for the community. The public must be
assured that Measure A funds will be dedicated to direct police- patrol
and other services serving directly in Discovery Bay in a deterent and
, (i t ' 'ive ` capacity. It is important to clarify that the intent of
this measure does not include the costs of transporting arrestees to
the main detention facility. That function of transporting should
remain as it is today, a basic obligation of the base patrol in the
DB/Byron area beat.
