File ID Number 20-1265 Introduction Date 8/12/2020 REVISED - BOARD PUBLIC SESSION - 8/12/2020 Enactment Number 20-1156 Enactment Date 8/12/2020 os Memo To Board of Education From Kyla Johnson-Trammell, Superintendent Lisa Grant-Dawson, Chief Business Officer Ryan Nguyen, Controller Board Meeting Date August 12, 2020 Subject Transfer of Funds from the Unclaimed Property from Respective Fund(s) to General Fund - Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Action Requested Approval by the Board of Education of Resolution No. 2021-0009 for the Transferring of Funds from the Unclaimed Stale Dated Warrants that are past three (3) years from the issuance date, to the General Fund as allowed by California Government Codes Sections 50005-20057 on unclaimed property. For Fiscal Year 2019-20, the unclaimed stale dated warrants, which can be transferred to the General Fund, account for 2,680 items and amount to $1,069,434.46 as reflected in EXHIBIT A. Background As recommended by the District’s External Auditor, the District must maintain an accurate and up-to-date listing of stale dated warrants readily available for the rightful owner to file a claim. The District’s staff checked the California Laws and State Controller’s guidance on unclaimed property and developed the Stale Warrants Policy and Procedures (EXHIBIT B). Such policy and procedures were approved by the General Counsel Office on May 20th, 2020. The District must follow steps outlined in the District’s approved Stale Warrant Policy and Procedures, which include serving the public notice in the local newspaper and obtaining Board’s approval prior transferring the unclaimed funds to the General Fund for general purposes. Discussion Local agencies are required to hold unclaimed stale dated warrants up to three (3) years from the issuance date, post required notices in the local newspaper and on the website, and reissue warrants when valid claims are filed. The District can transfer unclaimed warrants past three (3) years from the issuance date after following the proper steps outlined in the District’s defined Procedures. The District publishes the listing of stale warrants on the website in a searchable format. The listing is updated monthly to remove claimed warrants and add new stale warrants. The District is required to publish the notice in the local newspaper once a week for two successive weeks and allows the claims to be filed between 45- 60 days from the first notice. The District published the notice in the Oakland Tribune on June 19, 2020 and June 26, 2020, and the parties of interest have until August 3, 2020 (45 days from the first notice publication date) to file a claim with the District. The proof of the newspaper notices is attached in (EXHIBIT C). Recommendation Approval by the Board of Education of Resolution No. 2021-0009 for the Transferring of Funds from the Unclaimed Stale Dated Warrants that are past three (3) years from the issuance date, to the General Fund as allowed by California Government Codes Sections 50005-20057 on unclaimed property.

Optimally. a reniote telepresence reproduces visual sensations that enable equivalent understanding and interaction as direct operation. Through irnrnersive video acquisition and display. the situational awareness ola remote operator is brought closer lo that of direct operation. Early teleoperation research considered the value of wide tields of view. Howe~er. utilization of wide fields of view meant sacrificing resolution and presenting distorted imagery to the viewer. With recent advances in technology. these problems are no longer barriers to hyper-wide field of view video. Acquisition and display of video conveying the entire surroundings of a tclcoperated mobile robot requires innolwtion of hardware and software.

    Towers on the Moon: 1. Concrete Sephora Rupperta,∗, Amia Rossa, Joost Vlassak1, Martin Elvisc aHarvard College, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA bHarvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA cHarvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA Abstract The lunar South pole likely contains significant amounts of water in the perma- nently shadowed craters there. Extracting this water for life support at a lunar base or to make rocket fuel would take large amounts of power, of order Gi- gawatts. A natural place to obtain this power are the \Peaks of Eternal Light", that lie a few kilometers away on the crater rims and ridges above the perma- nently shadowed craters. The amount of solar power that could be captured depends on how tall a tower can be built to support the photovoltaic panels. The low gravity, lack of atmosphere, and quiet seismic environment of the Moon suggests that towers could be built much taller than on Earth. Here we look at the limits to building tall concrete towers on the Moon. We choose concrete as the capital cost of transporting large masses of iron or carbon fiber to the Moon is presently so expensive that profitable operation of a power plant is unlikely. Concrete instead can be manufactured in situ from the lunar regolith. We find that, with minimum wall thicknesses (20 cm), towers up to several kilometers tall are stable. The mass of concrete needed, however, grows rapidly with height, from ∼ 760 mt at 1 km to ∼ 4,100 mt at 2 km to ∼ 105 mt at 7 km and ∼ 106 mt at 17 km.

  • On the Effect of Magnetospheric Shielding on the Lunar Hydrogen Cycle O
    On the Effect of Magnetospheric Shielding on the Lunar Hydrogen Cycle O. J. Tucker1*, W. M. Farrell1, and A. R. Poppe2 1NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md, USA. 2Space Sciences Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, CA, USA *Corresponding author: Orenthal Tucker ([email protected]) NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Magnetospheric Physics/Code 695, Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA Key Points: Low latitude nightside OH is depleted from waning gibbous to waxing crescent because of shielding when traversing the magnetotail. Low latitude dayside OH is decreased in the tail compared to out but the difference cannot be resolved with current observations. Magnetospheric shielding decreases the global H2 exosphere by an order of magnitude during the full Moon. 1 Abstract The global distribution of surficial hydroxyl on the Moon is hypothesized to be derived from the implantation of solar wind protons. As the Moon traverses the geomagnetic tail it is generally shielded from the solar wind, therefore the concentration of hydrogen is expected to decrease during full Moon. A Monte Carlo approach is used to model the diffusion of implanted hydrogen atoms in the regolith as they form metastable bonds with O atoms, and the subsequent degassing of H2 into the exosphere. We quantify the expected change in the surface OH and the H2 exosphere using averaged SW proton flux obtained from the Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence, and Electrodynamics of the Moon’s Interaction with the Sun (ARTEMIS) measurements. At lunar local noon there is a small difference less than ~10 ppm between the surface concentrations in the tail compared to out.

  • Natural Thermoluminescence of Lunar Samples
    52nd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference 2021 (LPI Contrib. No. 2548) 2658.pdf NATURAL THERMOLUMESCENCE OF LUNAR SAMPLES: REVIEW AND UPDATE. A. Sehlke1, D. W. G. Sears1 and the ANGSA Science Team. 1NASA Ames Research Center/ Bay Area Environmental Research Institute, Moffett Field, CA 94035, USA, [email protected]. Introduction: Thermoluminescence (TL), literally TL measurements, the sample may not be exposed to light emission caused by heating, is a widely used and any ionizing radiation or other light sources (such as widely studied process in dosimetry, dating and various fluorescent light bulbs) after it has been removed from industries. Ionizing radiations passing through its sampling location, because this artificial radiation crystalline materials cause electrons to be energized and exposure can provide enough energy to reconfigure “trapped” where they can be stable for minutes to trapped electrons (excitation and drainage). billions of years [1]. Heat provides the energy for the Applications For Natural TL Measurements: electrons to fall back to their low energy ground states, Transient Lunar Phenomenon. Interest in TL releasing the excess energy as light. The number and measurements on lunar surface materials was prompted energy level of trapped electrons is a balance between in some part by the observations of light being emitted the radiation environment (i.e., the dose of ionizing by the lunar surface, the so-called “transient lunar radiation absorbed) vs. the thermal environment (i.e., phenomenon” (TLP) [8]. It was quickly realized that storage temperature of the sample), as well as the sample luminescence was not efficient enough to petrology of the sample (i.e., type of crystal lattice and explain the TLP and interest turned to using TL to defects).
