PARK AND PUBLIC INTEREST SURVEY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROJECT UPDATE Chief of Government and Legislative Affairs Erich Pfuehler and Legislative and Policy Management Anyalyst Lisa Baldinger will present the findings of a recent N=500 scientific survey conducted from July 27 – July 30, 2020. Survey was conducted by Lake Research Partners who will be available for questions after the presentation. II. STATE LEGISLATION / OTHER MATTERS A. NEW LEGISLATION – RECOMMENDED BILLS FOR SUPPORT 1. AB 2371 (Friedman D-Glendale) – Climate Resilience Science Advisory Team This bill would create an advisory team of scientists to make recommendations about California’s climate adaptation plans and investments. The goal is to ensure climate investments are cost-effective and make gains toward adapting the state to and mitigating from climate related impacts. Science-based climate-related hazard mitigation across state agencies makes sense, but is not currently a requirement. Existing law establishes the Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP) in the Office of Planning and Research (OPR). This bill would require the Science Advisory Team (SAT) to serve as a working group of a specified ICARP advisory group. The SAT would also provide input into the Safeguarding California Plan, which is the roadmap for California’s Climate Adaptation Strategy. The OPR would be required to issue a report by July 1, 2024 summarizing the actions of the SAT, the SAT’s contribution to climate resiliency and adaptation planning, and the office’s recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the SAT. As climate change increases the risk of catastrophic wildfires, droughts, floods, extreme weather and sea level rise, science-based hazard mitigation can help reduce those risks. This approach is consistent with the District’s wildfire hazard mitigation plan, stewardship efforts and park planning. 2. SB 1320 (Stern D-Canoga Park) – California Specific Climate Change Assessment This bill would require the Office of Planning and Research (OPR), through the Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Program (ICARP), to develop the California Climate 1 Change Assessment. OPR would coordinate with the Natural Resources Agency, the State Energy Resources Conservation and Development Commission, and the Strategic Growth Council, and in consultation with partner public agencies. The assessment would report the impacts and risks of climate change, based on the best available science, and identify potential solutions to inform legislative policy. Regional and local governments, such as the District, would be included in determining the scope of the assessment. The bill would require OPR to conduct the assessment no less frequently than every 5 years. Currently, there is no legal requirement for California to produce a climate assessment, although four have been conducted since 2006. This bill would codify the practice and provide more actionable information through consistent reporting. The requirement for OPR to engage with local and regional governments could include consultation with the District. B. NEW LEGISLATION – RECOMMENDED BILLS FOR WATCH 1.

  • The Crowded Field: Eight Men for the Senate
    Copyright © 1979 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. The Crowded Field: Eight Men for the Senate RALPH R. TINGLEY Party factionalism, individual ambitions, and personal rivalries contributed in 1924 to a situation unique in South Dakota politics. The names of eight candidates vying for one seat in the United States Senate graced the November ballots. Beyond the multiplicity of candidates, the election contest was also marked by its longevity, an element aggravated by a complex primary system initiated by the Richards Primary Law of 1918. Under this law, the election process started on the second Tuesday of November in the preceding year so that almost twelve months passed before final office holders were elected. The 1924 election, therefore, started on 13 November 1923, when every precinct elected three proposalmen for each party. Besides selecting county candidates, these proposalmen also chose three of their number from the county to assemble with other county delegations on 4 December to propose candidates and prepare a state platform for their party. At this state meeting in Pierre, each delegate had the power to cast votes totaling one-third the number of votes cast in his county for the party's gubernatorial choice in the preceding election. Proposal- men who dissented from the majority nomination could file an alternate slate. Any additional nonconformists were required to file as independents, without majority or minority sponsorship but with individual petitions that had endorsements representing at least 1 percent of the total number of votes cast for the party's Copyright © 1979 by the South Dakota State Historical Society.

Surveying the area through a lens of geographic place and space, this research will look at the historical factors that led to the rise of a counterculture here. To contextualize this development, it is necessary to examine the development of a cosmopolitan neighborhood after World War II that was multicultural and bohemian into something culturally unique.

  • Dissertation Reconsidering Randy Shilts
    DISSERTATION RECONSIDERING RANDY SHILTS: EXAMINING THE REPORTAGE OF AMERICA’S AIDS CHRONICLER Submitted by Andrew E. Stoner Department of Journalism and Technical Communication In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2013 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: James C. Landers Joseph E. Champ Patrick D. Plaisance Michael J. Hogan Richard Breaux Copyright by Andrew E. Stoner 2013 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT RECONSIDERING RANDY SHILTS: EXAMINING THE REPORTAGE OF AMERICA’S AIDS CHRONICLER The role of openly-gay reporter and author Randy Shilts (1951-1994) is examined related to his use of journalistic practices and places him on a continuum of traditional reporting roles as considered in the context of twentieth century philosophers Walter Lippmann and John Dewey. Reporter functions demonstrated by Shilts are examined, including those dictated by expectations of either strong journalistic influence over society and media consumers, or those more aligned with democratic practices where education and participation emphasize strong roles for society and media consumers. Using a biographical approach including 17 primary source interviews of former colleagues, critics, sources and family/friends, the examination of Shilts’s work as both a reporter and noted author is presented as being heavily influenced by his forthcoming attitudes about disclosure of his sexual orientation from the start of his career and his desire to explain or unpack aspects of gay culture, and ultimately the AIDS crisis, to heterosexual audiences. Careful examination of the posthumous critique of Shilts’s work – including his construction of Patient Zero – is undertaken. The study concludes that Shilts fully engaged a Lippmann-esque approach embodied in an authoritarian role for journalism that sought to change the world in which it was offered, and did so perhaps most influentially during the earliest days of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in America.
