RECESS FOR BREAKFAST Council recessed at 7:35 a.m. for breakfast and reconvened
at 8:09 a.m.
LIBRARY SUB -STATION
Fast: Met with Linda Cri_smond, Chief Librarian, to -discuss with
her the possibility of establishing a library sub -station
at Fire Station #4. The response has not been too favorable
because of County funding problem, and the County's priority
is a permanent facility in Walnut. We will plan the station
without a library facility.
•Bacon: Suggested the possibility of using mobile unit on more
frequent basis. Mr. Fast stated that they may look at mobile
library on "permanent" basis.
SPECIAL BILLING FOR WEST COVINA SEWER ASSESSMENT
Fast: The County will send a letter of explanation with special
billing to taxpayers for the omission of the West Covina
Sewer Assessment from the regular County tax bill.
MUTUAL AID WITH COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT
Fast: Good progress has been made in establishing an agreement with
the City of West Covina and the County fire stations located
in the Cities of Baldwin Park and Walnut.
Schabarum: Stated that cooperation between the County and'local cities
is encouraged by the Board of Supervisors. Agreements have
been accomplished with the City of Los Angeles. This
eliminates duplication and overlapping of services.
COUNTY HEALTH CARE
Schabarum: Supervisor Schabarum reported that a Health Care Hearing
was held yesterday. A 90-day notice is required by law when
there is an anticipated reduction in service. Presently,
the Health Department has $35 million overrun. An
additional $14 million will be coming from the State. The
Court has ordered maintenance of services.
The CAO recommends fiscal economies to eliminate shortage
in funding, for example, eliminate capital items and one
day per week furlough for employees.

Tice: What progress has been made on contracting for services?
Schabarum: Touche, Ross has made study and recommends contracting out
some medical, health services. The County has contracted
out for Methadone treatment.
*MUNICIPAL SERVICES TO UNINCORPORATED AREAS
Schabarum: The City of Los Angeles has a law suit against the County
regarding providing municipal services to unincorporated
areas as a subsidy. City of Los Angeles has been
successful in lower court. It is being appealed now.
This could lead to need for formation'of special service
districts for the.purpose of levying assessments to pay
for services.
CR Qn
Schabarum: State has legislated responsibilities on County governments
without honoring requirement for reimbursement per SB 90.
CSAC consensus is to either sue the State for reimbursement
or Counties just not provide the service.
Tennant: Block grants from State to local government (County and
City) to provide Health Services and Welfare. City
government not able to perform some of these programs, such
as welfare.
Bacon: What is Board of Supervisors' stance on continued Federal
Revenue Sharing (Schabarum)? Position is for Federal
government to look at other items in budget before cutting
Revenue Sharing.
Schabarum: Will be chairing a joint Los Angeles City and County
Committee on Criminal Justice. Changing more low grade
misdemeanors to infractions would help clear court calendars.
Bacon: Suggested $100/infraction instead of $50.
ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 9:00 a.m.
