Box 5006, Fremont, CA 94537-5006 510 284-4011 ph | 510 284-4001 fax | www.fremont.gov August 17, 2020 The Honorable Phil Ting California State Assembly, State Capitol, Room 6026 Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: Assembly Bill 2553- Shelter crisis declarations Support from the City of Fremont Dear Assemblymember Ting: On behalf of the City of Fremont, I want to thank you for your commitment to addressing the needs of our State’s most vulnerable populations, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. I am writing to express my support for Assembly Bill 2553, related to a city or county’s declaration of a shelter crisis and the subsequent suspension of certain regulations on specified construction projects. AB 2553 is a straightforward bill that would help to immediately facilitate the construction of homeless shelters throughout the state and help cities meet the urgent need for more shelter space. Due to the severe housing and homelessness crisis in California, it is imperative that cities have the opportunity to create safe spaces for homeless and housing insecure families and individuals, without costly and time-consuming barriers. We particularly appreciate the language in this bill to clarify that “Safe-Parking Programs” are a type of homeless shelter that is exempt from certain regulations during a declared shelter crisis. There are many homeless families and individuals who are temporarily living in a motor vehicle but have no legal or safe place to park it. “Safe- Parking Programs” provide a safe place for people to park while accessing off-site services to end their homelessness. Clarifying that “Safe Parking Programs” are a type of homeless shelter eligible for regulatory exemptions enables cities to more confidently and expeditiously pursue a multi-pronged approach to meeting the needs of homeless residents. Again, we are pleased to support Assembly Bill 2553, which will help ensure that all Californians can reside in a safe, designated space without fear for their safety or legal repercussions. Sincerely, Lily Mei Mayor, City of Fremont Cc: Senator Bob Wieckowski Assemblymember Bill Quirk Assemblymember Kansen Chu .

CALIFORNIA STATE ASSEMBLY Your Legislature Welcome to the California State Assembly—the people’s house. I will always remember my first visit to the Capitol as a youth for two reasons: a terrifying number of squirrels in the park and all the scaffolding and construction materials that were seemingly everywhere. It turns out my family and I were visiting during the 1970s restoration of the Capitol, which returned this magnificent building to its original greatness. While you are here, you have the opportunity to see democracy in action. You can view the Legislature in session from the galleries on the third floor or watch committees debate legislation. A copy of the Daily File, which lists the day’s legislative activities, can be obtained from the Bill Room in the Capitol basement, or accessed online at Assembly.ca.gov. Assembly.ca.gov also provides the history, text, and analysis of every bill, and includes biographies, press releases, committee memberships, and other information about Members of the Assembly. I hope your visit to the State Capitol is a reminder that your voice has an impact on crafting California’s laws. There is no greater place to learn about California’s government and rich history than in our State Capitol. On behalf of all 80 Members of the Assembly, I hope you enjoy your visit. ANTHONY RENDON SPEAKER OF THE ASSEMBLY The California Legislature The Members The California Legislature is composed of an Assembly and a Senate, consisting of 80 and 40 Members, respectively. Members of the Assembly are elected for two-year terms, while Senators are elected for four-year terms, with one-half of the membership elected every two years.

Amicus Curiae Letter in Support of Petition for Review Pico Neighborhood Association, Et Al
August 20, 2020 Hon. Chief Justice Tani Gorre Cantil-Sakauye and Hon. Associate Justices Supreme Court of California 350 McAllister Street, Room 1295 San Francisco, CA 94102-4797 Re: Amicus Curiae Letter in Support of Petition for Review Pico Neighborhood Association, et al. v. City of Santa Monica Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, Division Eight, Case No. B295935 Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. BC616804 Dear Chief Justice and Associate Justices of the California Supreme Court: In its July 9, 2020 Opinion, the Court of Appeal held that the California Voting Rights Act (Elections Code 14025-14032, “CVRA”) only applies to jurisdictions in which a minority community is numerous and geographically concentrated enough to comprise the majority of voters in a compact election district. The Court of Appeal reasoned that only with a majority in an election district could a minority community elect its preferred candidates. Our collective experience, as Latino, Black and Asian Pacific Islander elected officials in California demonstrates that the Opinion is wrong. As discussed below, nearly half of us were elected to the Legislature by districts where the corresponding minority community accounts for between 20% and 49% of the district’s eligible voters. Still, it is, in part, because of the strong support we receive from our respective minority communities that we have prevailed in elections. Not only is the Opinion wrong, it is horribly damaging to the voting rights of millions of Californians, and the prospects for the next generation of minority leaders. Because California is exceptionally diverse (one of our state’s great strengths), and not as segregated as the Deep South (at which the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965 was directed), minority communities are not compact enough to comprise the majority of voters in an election district in many jurisdictions.

May 29, 2020 The Honorable Phil Ting, Chair The Honorable Holly Mitchell, Chair Assembly Budget Committee Senate Budget Committee State Capitol, Room 6062 State Capitol, Room 5050 Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Jim Cooper, Chair The Honorable Anna Caballero, Chair Assembly Budget Subcommittee 4 Senate Budget Subcommittee 4 State Capitol, Room 6025 State Capitol, Room 5052 Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 RE: Budget Request - One-Time $10M Investment in Small Business Retention & Worker Ownership Transition Dear Chairs Ting, Mitchell, Cooper and Caballero: We are writing to request a one-time investment of $10M to fund education, technical assistance, and forgivable loans to businesses that transition to worker ownership, saving jobs and struggling small businesses across the State. Amidst the dual crises of COVID-19 and the Silver Tsunami1, small business owners are looking for an exit. Rather than selling to large, out-of-state buyers or simply closing their doors for good, business owners can find willing buyers in the people who work alongside them every day, their workers. The State of California can support struggling business owners and workers by supporting the transition of companies to worker ownership. Doing so will anchor essential production and services in communities, save jobs, and save the State money. California is at risk of losing nearly 1.7 million small businesses, representing over 3 million jobs within the next four months if it does not take immediate action to preserve them.2 As the State considers historic economic protection and recovery efforts, it is essential to preserve existing businesses that anchor communities and livelihoods.
