§ 54-3.004. Findings.

The board of supervisors hereby finds: (1) that underage drinking is a serious threat to public health and safety; (2) that gatherings on private property where alcohol is consumed by juveniles is a serious problem in Contra Costa County; (3) that problems associated with such gatherings are difficult to resolve unless the sheriff's office has additional ability to hold those persons who host such gatherings responsible; and (4) that the sheriff's ability to enforce this ordinance against hosts of juvenile gatherings will result in a decrease in juvenile abuse of intoxicants, physical fights, vandalism, noise disturbances, and other alcohol related incidents.
