Lloyd, PhD., Secretary Environmental Health California Environmental Protection Agency Department of 1001 "I" Street Preventive Medicine Sacramento, CA 95814 Sunne Wright McPeak, Secretary California Business, Transportation & Housing Agency 980 9th Street, Suite 2450 Sacramento, CA 95814-2719 Re: Report from "Growing Pains: A Town Meeting on Health and Community Impacts of Goods Movement and the Ports" Dear Secretaries Lloyd and McPeak: On February 25-26,2005, the Southern California Environmental Health Sciences Center, which is directed by Dr. John Peters, convened a Town Meeting in Long Beach, California to discuss the implications of increased international trade and goods movement in Southern California. The meeting was called: "Growing Pains: Health and Community Impacts of Goods Movement and the Ports." The Town Meeting agenda, its sponsors, academic partners (including USC, UCLA, and Occidental College), funders and community partners can be found online at htto://hvdra.usc.edu/scehscKownMeetina2005. , This letter is written on behalf of the attendees of the meeting, who were challenged by Cabinet Secretary Terry Tamminen to become more engaged in the process underway in your agencies to develop an Action Plan on goods movements and the ports. (See additional details below). More than 400 representatives from community-based organizations, environmental groups, academic research centers, industry groups (e.g., the Ports and railroads), elected officials and their staff members, representatives of local governments, and other members of the Southern California community attended the meeting. (Please see attached list of attendees and their organizations.) The Town Meeting served to share information about the environmental health challenges created by ongoing expansion of the Ports and related expansion of the goods movement infrastructure in Southern California, and it also brought together many of the impacted parties in a forum that allowed them to straiegiz<on solutiok for ensuring a healthy future for Southern Californians. 1540 Alcazar Street CHP 236 Los Angeles, California 90033 Tel: 323 442 1096 Fax: 323 442 3272 At the meeting, USC and UCLA scientists from the Southern California Environment Health Sciences Center presented considerable evidence from their scientific studies showina that disease and adverse health outcomes are occurring among Southern Califomia resid&ts as a result of current air pollution levels in the region. The adverse health outcomes described included respiratory and cardiovascular effects, reproductive effects and birth defects, cancer and more. They raised particular concerns about mobile source emissions and described the need to reduce levels of air pollutants resulting from the Ports and goods movement activity in order to prevent adverse health effects. Economist Jon Haveman from the Public Policy Institute of California estimated that the externalized cost of these health problems (in terms of medical care alone) is 2.5 billion dollars a year. Community members such as Evangelina Ramirez, a founding member of the Long Beach Alliance for Children with Asthma, testified about the human impact of air pollution on children with asthma and other respiratory illnesses. On the first day of the meeting, following the community panel, Califomia Cabinet Secretary Terry Tamminen pledged Governor Schwatzenegger's commitment to creating a sustainable and viable future for California and to addressing the environmental, health and community issues associated with the Ports and goods movement. In his address to the gathering, Secretary Tamminen challenged the audience to become engaged in the "Action Plan for Goods Movement" process undetway in Sacramento. In response to this challenge, Town Meeting participants made comments during Open Microphone sessions and also developed a series of recommendations in the Saturday afternoon workshops. Workshop reports were presented in the final plenary session chaired by Professor Robert Gottlieb of Occidental College's Urban and Environmental Policy Institute. Key recommendations follow and are described in greater detail in the attached report. 1. First and foremost, in the Open Mike sessions and in the workshops, communitv. participants recommended that the communitv and its health, environment, and aualitv of life must be made a prioritv in decidina the Ports and aoods movement aaenda. 2. Second, many of the participants and also the workshop reports make a strong request. for the State to provide open lines of communication. to Drovide o~portunitiesfor ~ublic partici~ation,and to maximize communitv inwut into the creation of an "Action Plan" on the Ports and aoods movement. 3. Third, the workshop renorts suggested that the Drocess of creatina such an "Action Plan" must be slowed down to orovide true communitv input, because many Town Meeting participants believe that there has been inadequate opportunity for public participation in creating a plan that is online to be finalized within a few weeks, if not days. 4. Fourth, participants requested that an analvsis must be Derformed to calculate the health and environmental costs borne bv local residents comwared to the business and nationwide consumer benefits of increased international trade and qoods movement in Southern California. 5. Finally, participants recommended that a number of ste~smust be taken, ranaina from technoloaical advancements to policy chanqes, to ensure sustainable Ports arowth that protect health and uphold the aualitv of life in Southern Califomia. Attached are specific recommendations during the Town Meeting and by "reporters" from the Town Meeting workshops in the gathering's final session. In response to Cabinet Secretary Tamminen's charge, we are submitting these recommendations on behalf of the Town Meeting attendees to be considered as part of your goods movement "Action Plan" process, and we strongly urge you to provide for community and scientific participation by lengthening the process for input before finalizing any Plan. We have also sent a letter to Cabinet Secretary Teny Tamminen, enclosing a copy of this letter and the attachments. Please contact us with any questions and thank you for your consideration.

California License To Be Sued: A Critique of Strict Liability Imposed on Business Owner Licensees From the Perspective of the Smog Check Industry Zachary Young* I. INTRODUCTION Respondeat superior, “piercing the corporate veil,” and strict liability; the legal world at times can have the appearance of a mine field for a business owner—an appearance which many business owners would likely argue is representative of their realities. With so many legal avenues and theories designed to impose liability on business owners, one cannot help but ask a number of questions: What purpose do these theories serve? What policies do they promote? And perhaps most importantly, is it really necessary to be stacking the deck so heavily against business owners? Consumer protection is the overarching goal justifying these theories of liability for business owners.
