Doyle, General Manager Erich Pfuehler, Government Affairs Manager SUBJECT: Board Legislative Committee Meeting WHEN: Friday, January 27, 2017 12:30 PM Lunch will be served WHERE: Board Room, Peralta Oaks _______ Items to be discussed: I. STATE LEGISLATION / ISSUES A. NEW LEGISLATION 1. AB 151 (Burke D-Inglewood) – Extending the Cap-and-Trade Program This legislation is an effort to ensure the cap-and-trade program remains a permanent part of the state’s climate policy. As currently written, it expresses the intent of the legislature to act on extending the cap-and-trade program. The current cap-and-trade program expires in 2020. Assemblymember Autumn Burke introduced the legislation with Assemblymember Jim Cooper (D-Elk Grove) – a leader of the moderate Democratic caucus who are aligned with business interests. This is a good sign there might be votes for a legislative extension. In 2016, Democratic leadership was concerned they did not have the votes and rebuffed Governor Brown’s attempt to include cap-and-trade renewal in SB 32 (which extended the state’s emission reduction targets to 2030). At that time, the Governor floated the possibility of running a 2018 ballot initiative to extend cap-and-trade as a failsafe for legislature’s potential inaction. In the Governor’s budget, he also ties the expenditure of cap-and-trade dollars to extending the program. Introduction of AB 151 is the first step toward seeing if the legislature can build consensus to extend cap-and-trade. The District has a strong interest in seeing cap-and-trade funds directed toward some very specific activities: wildfire fuels management, green transportation, urban greening, wetland creation and coastal resiliency, riparian habitat enhancements and carbon sequestration by grasslands. Given the needs for more resources to carry out these activities, supporting extension of the cap-and-trade program is in the District’s interest. Staff recommendation: Support 2. SB 18 (Pan D-Sacramento) – Bill of Rights for Children and Youth in California Assemblymember Pan introduced this legislation as a response to the Right Start Commission’s report, Rebuilding the California Dream, which has been supported by Common Sense Kids Action, the advocacy arm of Common Sense Media. The report highlights goals for the state to commit to as a “Children’s Bill of Rights.” The bill of rights would include issues such as: high-quality, affordable child care; universal preschool; preventive healthcare; parent education; and family-friendly business policies. Assemblymember Pan was also the author of the state’s mandatory vaccine law in 2015, so SB 18 has drawn the wrath of the 1 groups (both right and left leaning) who opposed the vaccine law. SB 18 is a vague blueprint at this point, but is something to be watched from a parks perspective. Staff recommendation: Watch B. ISSUES 1. Governor Brown’s Budget The Governor announced his $179.5 billion budget proposal on Tuesday, January 10. Some of the highlights include: $43 billion for a five-year infrastructure plan. This plan outlines $5.6 billion for 2017/2018 to be spent on critical deferred maintenance such as levees, state parks, universities, community colleges, prisons, state hospitals and other state facilities. $178 million in drought relief to be used for firefighting resources, removal of fuels and well improvements. $2.2 billion for a cap-and-trade expenditure plan inclusive of $127.5 million for carbon sequestration via CAL FIRE’s forestry programs and Natural Resources Agency Urban Greening programs and $100 million for Active Transportation programs. This expenditure plan is contingent on the legislature passing legislation by a 2/3rds vote for the Air Resources Board to administer the cap-and-trade program beyond 2020. An increase in school spending to $15,216 per student, a $394 increase from the 2016/17 budget. $18.1 billion to fund transportation – including a $1 billion cap-and-trade funded Active Transportation Program to be administered by Caltrans to expand the local grant program. $154.6 billion for human services including an $800 million addition to cover the loss of federal funding. The potential repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act is not accounted for within the proposal. $7.9 billion for the state reserve, a $1.2 billion increase. 2. Park Bond Legislation and Possible Initiative Update The General Manager, Park District Legislative Advocate Doug Houston and Government Affairs Manager will provide verbal updates about activities related to AB 18, SB 5 and possible resource-related initiative efforts. II. FEDERAL LEGISLATION / ISSUES A. NEW LEGISLATION I. H.R. 343 (Sires D-N) – Establish a Link Between Healthy, Economically Vibrant Communities, and Investments in Parks This legislation creates a link between healthy, economically vibrant communities and investments in parks and recreation. It would authorize the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to create a program which would leverage resources to address health and economic development concerns by investing in parks, recreational facilities and programs.

I spent many days on the road, in factories and classrooms and town halls across the country, assessing the progress we had made since I took office and working with State and local leaders and citizens to keep that progress going. Our goal had always been to rebuild our economy on a new foundation for growth that’s steady and prosperity that’s shared—to revive American manufacturing, support the rise of a stronger and more innovative energy sector, get people back to work, and protect the middle class. We had made undeniable progress on all these fronts, but there was still more work to do. I asked the American people to let me continue that work for another 4 years, and in November, they honored me with a second term. During these 6 months, I signed legislation to keep thousands of construction workers on the job rebuilding our Nation’s infrastructure, prevented student loan rates from doubling for more than 7 million students, and improved aid for veterans and military families.
