With some members upset that the current administrative fines for violating COVID-19-related health orders aren t high enough to ensure compliance, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday is scheduled to discuss and perhaps approve new administrative fines for businesses and others found to be breaking the rules.
The proposed ordinance, as outlined in a county staff report, doesn t include any specific fine amounts. But last week, County Supervisor Karen Mitchoff said that she wants to see fines that have bite and that business owners consider too high to keep violating the rules and absorb the penalties.
