TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
.; Costa
FROM: Gary T. Yancey County
DATE: May 27, 1997
SUBJECT: Resolution that there are sufficient funds available to create and operate
the District Attorney's Bad Check Restitution Program
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION
Resolve that there are sufficient funds available to create and operate the District Attorney's Bad Check
Restitution Program.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact as all costs of the program will be borne by Reports Unlimited and paid out
of the fees authorized to be collected from bad check writers by Penal Code section 1001.65
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Penal Code section 100 1.60 states that the Board of Supervisors must declare that there are sufficient
funds available before the District Attorney may create such a program. As this program is not funded by
the County, there are sufficient funds available. The creation of this Program is advisable as it will lessen
the impact of financial crime upon its victims within Contra Costa County without cost to them or to the
County.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
The District Attorney will not be authorized to create the Bad Check Restitution Program and the
negative financial impact of the bad check writer on commerce within Contra Costa County will not be
changed.
