These revisions do not change staff’s recommendation that the Commission conditionally approve the coastal development permit. On June 28 and 29, 2017, staff received comments submitted by Janet Eidsness, Tribal Heritage Preservation Officer for the Blue Lake Rancheria, and Tom Torma, Cultural Director for the Wiyot Tribe, recommending the inclusion of a special condition requiring implementation of an inadvertent archaeological discovery protocol and archaeological resources training for project field contractors in order to protect Wiyot cultural resources with potential to occur at project sites (see attached Correspondence). Special Condition 10 included submittal of an inadvertent archaeological discovery protocol for the Executive Director’s review and approval, but did not require worker training.

  • 2015-16 Adopted Budget
    Redwoods Community College District 2015-16 Final Budget and Multiyear Summary The 2015-16 Final Budget is being presented to the Board of Trustees for approval at the September 8, 2015 meeting. The Final Budget will be reported to the State Chancellor’s Office by October 10 or the date in accordance with State Chancellor’s Office instructions. This document includes a three year forecast for the District and the State. To address fiscal stability at Redwoods Community College District and adhere to Accreditation Standard III, Resources, Eligibility Requirements 17, Financial Resources, and 18 Fiscal Accountability, the District made necessary adjustments to the 2015-16 Final Budget. To prepare the 2015-16 budget, the Budget Planning Committee (BPC) recommended a balanced budget to the President/Superintendent and recommended setting aside a portion of the one-time State mandate reimbursements for a State capital match and for pension costs. This budget includes $700,000 for the State capital project match and at least $300,000 for the CalPERS/STRS pension set aside from the one-time monies. State Forecast The California Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) prepared State budget scenarios. Under the first scenario, California’s economy will continue to grow which fuels State budget surpluses ranging from $2.5 billion to over $4.5 billion during fiscal years 2015-16 through 2019-20. This scenario also assumes that the current service level is maintained, meaning that all current commitments continue, so the surpluses could presumably be used to build rainy day funds or augment agency expenditure budgets. The LAO also prepared a Slowdown scenario assuming a national stock market decline.
