The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on Sept. 11, will take up whether to appoint a new West Contra Costa Healthcare District board of directors or to appoint themselves as the health care district’s new board.
It’s an important question now because of Senate Bill 522, signed by Gov. Jerry Brown on July 18. The bill, introduced by Sen. Steve Glazer, D-Orinda, calls for the dissolution of the existing elected West Contra Costa Healthcare District board of directors, effective Jan. 1. This is primarily a money-saving move.
