Doyle, General Manager Erich Pfuehler, Government Relations and Legislative Affairs Manager SUBJECT: Board Legislative Committee Meeting WHEN: Friday, June 20, 2014 - 12:45 p.m. Lunch will be served WHERE: Board Room, Peralta Oaks _______ Items to be discussed: I. STATE LEGISLATION / ISSUES A. NEW LEGISLATION 1. AB 2150 (Rendon D-Lakewood) – Establishes a new State Parks Division of Community Initiatives and Park Access Assembly Member Anthony Rendon introduced AB 2150 which makes a number of statutory changes to the California State Park system. It specifically calls for the establishment of a new Division of Community Initiatives and Park Access within the Department of Park and Recreation (DPR). The new division would be given the mission of making state parks more relevant to underserved communities. The bill also requires DPR to prioritize its huge backlog of deferred maintenance projects. It requires a modernization of DPR’s fee and data collection systems and extends the moratorium on state park closures for an additional year. The legislation is largely in response to the Parks Forward Commission’s work. Parks Forward commissioned a study by FTI Consulting (formerly Forensic Technologies International) which has a history of working on corporate turnaround, restructuring, bankruptcy and forensic accounting practices – including Enron and WorldCom bankruptcies, and Lehman Brothers and General Motors restructuring. The FTI study found significant reliability issues with DPR’s deferred maintenance database, as well as fee and data collection systems. The legislation seeks to address those issues. Significantly, the legislation also recognizes the segments of California’s population which lack reasonable access to parks and open space – particularly in urban and disadvantaged rural areas. The creation of a new Division is seen as a leadership tool for DPR to work in strategic partnerships and collaborations with others to address this disparity. It is estimated the new Division and other requirements of this bill would increase the annual costs to DPR by between $250,000 and $500,000. The bill has been supported by the California State Parks Foundation and Trust for Public Land. Staff Recommendation: WATCH 2. SB 1021 (Wolk D-Davis) – Variable Rate Parcel Taxes for School Districts This legislation is similar to AB 59 introduced by Assembly Member Rob Bonta (D-Alameda) in 2013 which sought to clarify that school districts are allowed to assess parcel taxes in accordance with rational classifications among taxpayers or types of property, as long as the taxes are applied uniformly within those classifications. The Bonta legislation actually sought to abrogate the holding in Borikas v. Alameda Unified School District. The California Supreme Court upheld the Borikas case which invalidates parts of Alameda USD’s parcel tax Measure H, which voters passed in 2008. The court struck down Measure H’s differential rate structure for residential and commercial property owners. Measure H imposed a $120 per year (tax) on each parcel of taxable land and 15 cents per square foot for commercial/industrial parcels. In Borikas, the Court eliminated school districts' ability to apply different rates to property based on its classification, or based on whether the property has improvements. School districts want to restore flexibility they thought they had before the Court's decision. The Wolk legislation applies only to school district parcel taxes imposed in the future; it contains "no inference" language that directs courts to adjudicate cases similar to Borikas v. Alameda Unified School District, 214 Cal. App. 4th 135, under the law in place at the time the district imposed the tax. District Counsel would like either the Wolk or Bonta legislation to include additional language which references Public Resources Code 5566 which has similar language to the government code section 50079 which was struck down by the Borikas case. As of this writing, legislative staff are reluctant to expand the legislation beyond school districts. Staff Recommendation: Work to amend B. ISSUES 1. State Budget Staff expect the budget deal to be finalized by the time of this meeting, but details are not yet available. Advocate Houston will provide an update. One issue of interest is consideration of cap and trade revenue for urban forestry and parks in disadvantaged communities. This notion was considered by the Senate Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, but as of this writing it is not clear if it will make the final cut. 2. Parks Forward Update In the fall of 2014, the Parks Forward Commission will adopt a long-term plan for a State Park system. The independent commission is made up of experts, advocates and thought-leaders (a list of the Commissioners is included as an attachment). They are conducting a wholesale assessment of the park system. They have held a number of meetings throughout the state and seem to be circling in on the idea of creating a resources oversight entity somewhat similar to the California Transportation Commission. The Commission suggests the new privately and publicly funded organization would be a more nimble, nonprofit parks support organizations which would work with state parks, local and regional park agencies, nonprofits, businesses, and community groups. The new support organization would be tasked with providing funding, design and support for deploying state-of-the-art fee collection machines in parks; finding new business development opportunities such as special events and partnerships for parks; raising funds and securing other financing for parks; developing digital tools for communications, marketing, and on-the-ground guides to parks in English and Spanish; and working with organizations focused on providing parks in underserved urban communities. In the midst of the Parks Forward Commission’s work, Major General Anthony Jackson is departing as Director of the Department of Parks and Recreation after only 18 months of service. The Parks Forward Commission will likely play a role in recommending his replacement. 3. Park Bond Update A hearing on Senator Kevin de Leon’s park bond bill, SB 1086, was held in Southern California on June 6, 2014. It was well attended, but featured mostly non-governmental organizations. There were not many actual park and recreation managers or agencies in attendance. Advocate Houston has subsequently had additional conversations with the Senator’s staff and will provide a verbal update. 4. Water Bond Update It is widely suspected that once a budget deal is reached, the legislature and governor will turn their focus to crafting a new water bond measure with a lower dollar figure attached to it than the current $11.4 billion measure. Advocate Houston will provide a verbal update. 5. Other issues – Please see attached election results memo II. FEDERAL LEGISLATION / ISSUES A. NEW LEGISLATION – N/A B. ISSUES 1. Possible Federal grant opportunities Department of Labor Apprenticeships On April 15th the White House announced the $450 million employment, labor and training grant program (funding opportunity number SGA-DFA-PY-13-10).

  • Pension Fund Leaders Term Corporate Board Diversification ‘Unacceptably Slow,’ Call for Increased Attention from Investors, Corporate Boards
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PR16:21 Contact: Marc Lifsher June 1, 2016 [email protected] 916-653-2995 Pension Fund Leaders Term Corporate Board Diversification ‘Unacceptably Slow,’ Call for Increased Attention From Investors, Corporate Boards California State Treasurer John Chiang joins group of fiduciaries from funds with more than $1 trillion under management SACRAMENTO – California State Treasurer John Chiang today joined a group of state and local officials who contend that corporate boards have been too slow to diversify their ranks and that institutional investors should increase their focus on board diversity as a corporate governance priority. The joint statement emphasizes that racial and LGBT diversity as well as gender diversity are critical dimensions of effective board composition and performance. “There is broad agreement that a diverse corporate board is good for business,” Treasurer Chiang said. “Boards with directors, who possess a wide range of skills and experiences, are better positioned to oversee company strategy, risk mitigation and management performance.” Statistics show that board diversification has been slow—or has even regressed. White directors hold 85 percent of the board seats at the largest 200 S&P 500 companies, and the percentage of those boards with exclusively white directors has increased over the last decade. Men occupy 80 percent of all S&P 500 board seats. It is also estimated that there are fewer than 10 openly lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender directors among Fortune 500 companies. The 14 co-signers, many of them longtime leaders on the issue of board diversity, are fiduciaries for pension funds responsible for the retirement security of six million participants and with more than $1 trillion in assets under management.

  • Pandemic Marks 1St PDA Asia Pacific's Anniversary
    Volume 1 • Issue 2 July 2020 www.pda.org/pdaletter Pandemic Marks 1st PDA Asia Pacific’s Anniversary Having just passed the milestone of our first-year initiation as the PDA Asia Pacific lead- ership, we find ourselves in a totally unpredictable situation. Thankfully, we belong to a network of association industry professionals who followed the situation in China starting in January. This enabled us to adapt to the situation quickly. Aside from the operational precautionary measures by operating our team in Singapore under the business continuity plan protocol early on, we had yet to see the impact in the region and the duration of it. Without giving away my age, I recall the days of SARS and applied what I learned from that time. Still, as we now all know, not much could have prepared us for this. Following the launch of PDA Asia Pacific last year, we reached out to PDA’s chapters in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Singapore. We listened and we learned, adding three new events in these markets. We recognized that PDA members in several countries had a wonderful process in place, providing a good quantity of education for members. PDA’s Japan Chapter already has a strong framework. We also learned regulatory agencies and Marcel Ewals, PDA Asia Pacific Office other organizations in the region PDA was well known but its presence not felt. With this in mind, we drafted an ambitious plan to be represented at events, industry meetings and digital offerings. Of course, digital resources have become more critical as of late and we hope that you have encountered more PDA activities whilst browsing the internet feedback is always welcome.

  • How Corporate Boards Can Combat Sexual Harassment
    How Corporate Boards Can Combat Sexual Harassment March 2018 HOW CORPORATE BOARDS CAN COMBAT SEXUAL HARASSMENT Recommendations and Resources for Directors and Investors Prepared by Rosemary Lally and Brandon Whitehill 1 How Corporate Boards Can Combat Sexual Harassment Foreword Allegations of sexual harassment have profound repercussions for companies and their shareholders. Operations become disrupted when top executives are forced out. The company’s reputation suffers and morale slumps. Management and the board may face legal charges, and the financial costs can be severe. In fiscal years 2010–2016, U.S. employers paid out nearly $300 million to employees who alleged sex-based harassment through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) administrative enforcement pre-litigation process. More recently, the board of 21st Century Fox agreed to a $90 million settlement with shareholders who alleged in a lawsuit that directors failed to rein in senior executives who sexually harassed female employees. Allegations of sexual harassment and mishandling those allegations can clearly affect the value of a company. Privately-owned Weinstein Co. is planning to file for bankruptcy as of February 2018, less than six months after The New York Times and The New Yorker reported multiple allegations of sexual harassment against then co-chairman Harvey Weinstein. Hits to the value of privately-owned Uber in 2017 reflected concerns of sexual harassment and the complicity of human resources (HR) and top executives. The company belatedly set up a hotline for complaints, and tips resulted in the termination of more than 20 employees. Shares of Wynn Resorts saw a $3 billion drop in market value in the two days following the Wall Street Journal’s report of allegations of sexual misconduct by chief executive Steve Wynn, and as of one month later Wynn’s share price had not recovered.
