Dee Rosario) FROM: Robert E. Doyle, General Manager Erich Pfuehler, Government Affairs Manager SUBJECT: Board Legislative Committee Meeting WHEN: Friday, July 19, 2019 12:30 PM Lunch will be served WHERE: Board Room, Peralta Oaks _______ Items to be discussed: I. STATE LEGISLATION / OTHER MATTERS A. NEW LEGISLATION 1. AB 38 (Wood D – Santa Rosa) – Fire Hardened Homes Revolving Loan and Rebate Fund This bill establishes the Fire Hardened Homes Revolving Loan and Rebate Fund (Fund) to provide financial assistance and rebates to building owners to help pay for costs associated with fire hardening. It also requires building owners to notify potential buyers about fire hardening improvements on the property. The Fund would be administered by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority. It also requires the Natural Resources Agency to review the regional capacity of each county that contains a very high fire hazard severity zone. The bill is supported by the California Fire Chiefs Association, California League of Conservation Voters, Sierra Club, The Nature Conservancy and a number of insurance groups. The Realtors oppose. Staff recommendation: Support. 2. AB 1668 (Carrillo D – Los Angeles) – California Conservation Corps Education and Employment Reentry Program Assembly Member Carrillo’s legislation would require the Director of the California Conservation Corps to prioritize adding formerly incarcerated inmates to their crews. The Corps crews generally are between the ages of 18 and 25. The average age of a released inmate is 38. Integrating the two age groups could be a challenge. Staff recommendation: Watch. 3. SB 226 (Nielsen R – Gerber) – Watershed Restoration Grant Program Senator Nielsen’s legislation requires the California Natural Resources Agency to develop and implement the Watershed Restoration Grant Program. It would provide grants for watershed restoration to improve water quality and/or water supply following a wildfire. This dedicated funding source defines a watershed to mean any river, watershed or river system tributary that has been affected by a wildfire. Funds are only available for areas where a wildfire occurred on or after January 1, 2017 and a state of emergency was declared by the Governor. The bill authorizes the grant program for five years, so potentially could apply to future fire 1 emergencies. The bill is supported by the California State Association of Counties, Association of California Water Agencies and Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District. Staff recommendation: Support. 4. SB 268 (Wiener D – San Francisco) – Ballot Measure Tax Rate Information Currently, if a ballot measure imposes or raises a tax, the tax rate needs to be identified in the ballot statement. Senator Wiener’s legislation would exempt a measure that imposes or increases a tax with more than one rate or authorizes the issuance of bonds. In its stead, it requires the statement include “see voter guide for information.” The tax rate can be identified in the voter guide. The bill is supported by the California Special Districts Association, California State Association of Counties and the State Building and Construction Trades Council. It is opposed by the California Taxpayers Association. Staff recommendation: Support. 5. SB 462 (Stern D – Canoga Park) – Community College Forest and Woodlands Restoration Workforce Curriculum Senator Stern’s bill calls on the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, to develop a forest and woodlands restoration workforce curriculum and vocational programs to be offered by community college districts commencing on or before July 31, 2021. According to the Senate Appropriations Committee, this bill, based on the cost of similar programs funded in recent years, could require $10 million in start-up funding. The model curriculum that would be created by this bill differs from existing fire science degree programs by focusing on restoration. Currently, there is no complete, explicit restoration workforce training program available in California. The bill is supported by the California Native Plant Society, Sierra Business Council and The Nature Conservancy. Staff recommendation: Support. 6. Other Matters B. OTHER STATE MATTERS 1. Wildfire Prevention, Safe Drinking Water, Drought Preparation and Flood Protection Bond Act of 2020 This is the $7.883 billion bond measure filed by Joe Caves. It allocates funding to the following: • $3.508 billion for wildfire prevention and community resilience from climate impacts. • $2.2 billion for safe drinking water, protecting water supply and water quality from climate risks. • $975 million for protecting fish and wildlife from climate risks. • $770 million for protecting coastal lands, bays and oceans from climate risks. • $230 million for climate resilience, workforce development and education, • $200 million for protecting agricultural land from climate risks. Given the high price tag for the bond itself and the expense of qualifying the measure for the ballot (estimated in the neighborhood of $4 million), it is unclear how serious an effort this is. 2 2. AB 1190 (Irwin D – Thousand Oaks) – Prohibition of Local Drone Bans Update District staff and advocates have been working to amend this legislation to exempt Public Resources Code 5500 and 35100 (Santa Clara Open Space Authority), which would enable such open space agencies to ban the use of drones. It is a two-year bill, but District staff would like to have the Legislative Committee’s authority to oppose the bill if it is not amended. 3. AB 1486 (Ting D – San Francisco) – Surplus Land for Housing Update District staff remain concerned about the impacts of this legislation. It requires any local agency, when disposing of surplus land, to first offer it for sale or lease for the purpose of developing low- and moderate-income housing. It also requires each local agency, on or before December 31 of each year, to make an inventory of all lands it holds, owns or controls, including a description of each parcel found to be in excess of its needs. The California Special Districts Association is in strong opposition of this legislation. They assert this bill imposes onerous new requirements on the disposition of surplus land and does not take into consideration the unique needs of various local agencies and special districts. District staff would like to have the Legislative Committee’s authority to oppose the bill.

Cover illustration by Vasava McKinsey Quarterly meets the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) chain-of- custody standards. The paper used in the Quarterly is certified as being produced in an environ- mentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economi- cally viable way. Printed in the United States of America. 2015 Number 4 This Quarter It’s almost a truism these days to say that modern corporations must be agile. The pace of industry disruption arising from the digital revolution, combined with nimble, new competitors—including many from emerging markets—have raised the cost of complacency and rigidity. But what does it mean to achieve agility? This issue’s cover package tries to answer that question, starting with intriguing new McKinsey research. Using data from McKinsey’s Organizational Health Index, Michael Bazigos, Aaron De Smet, and Chris Gagnon show how organizations that combine speed with stability are far likelier to be healthy than companies that simply move fast. The utility sector is a striking example of one industry that needs to combine flexibility and stability. Although digital competitors, new data-based business models, and renewable-energy sources are changing the landscape in certain markets, the industry’s sprawl- ing base of heavy assets remains core to its future. Sven Heiligtag and his colleagues Dominik Luczak and Eckart Windhagen describe how a number of leading utilities are trying to straddle these two worlds, suggesting some lessons for companies in other sectors.

    Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California William Newsom POLITICS, LAW, AND HUMAN RIGHTS Interviews conducted by Martin Meeker in 2008-2009 Copyright © 2009 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and William Newsom, dated August 7, 2009, and Barbara Newsom, dated September 22, 2009 (by her executor), and Brennan Newsom, dated November 12, 2009. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes.

    Symphonic III: Getty & Berlioz Thurs, Feb 1, 2018 at 8p - Zellerbach Hall, Berkeley Fri, Feb 2, 2018 at 8p - Hume Hall, San Francisco Conservatory of Music http://www.berkeleysymphony.org/concerts/getty-berlioz/ Program Fauré: Cantique de Jean Racine ​ Gordon Getty: Joan and the Bells ​ Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique ​ Conductor & Artists Keitaro Harada, guest conductor Lisa Delan, soprano Lester Lynch, baritone Eric Choate, concertmaster Berkeley Symphony and Chorus Program Notes & Translations Gabriel Fauré Born May 12, 1845, in Pamieres, France; died November 4, 1924, in Paris Cantique de Jean Racine, Op. 11 ​ Composed: 1864-65 First performance: August 4, 1866, in Montivilliers, France Duration: approximately 7 minutes Scored for mixed choir and pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, and horns, plus harp and strings In sum: ● Gabriel Fauré’s best-loved work is his setting of the Requiem, but he was already hiding his sensitive, balanced choral style in Cantique de Jean Racine, an early ​ ​ student work. ● Written for a composition competition when he was 19, Cantique is a brief, ​ ​ beautifully proportioned setting of three stanzas based on a liturgical prayer. Born in the south of France, Gabriel Fauré was a bit of an anomaly in his family — the only one among his five siblings with musical leanings. But these were already evident by an early age, so that Fauré was sent off to Paris at the age of nine to concentrate on his musical studies at the École Niedermeyer, a college that specialized in preparing for careers in religious music. Camille Saint-Saëns became an important mentor, and young Fauré was educated as a choirmaster and organist.

  • Program Guide 2018 Safeguarding the Rule Of
    Program Guide 2018 Safeguarding the Rule of Law As John Adams wrote in 1780, the rule of law at its most essential means a “government of laws and not of men.”1 The rule of law is “a principle of governance in which all persons, institutions and entities, public and private, including the State itself, are accountable to the laws that are publicly promulgated, equally enforced and independently adjudicated.”2 Among these principles of governance within the U.S. constitutional regime are separation of powers, democratic accountability, transparency, and norms that guide officials in their use of political power.3 Critics argue that the United States is currently being led by an executive who demonstrates autocratic tendencies, with a record of ignoring established legal processes, dismantling democratic conventions, and flouting norms that help preserve a stable, reliable government. In light of these circumstances, ACS encourages chapters to host events in 2018 examining the rule of law in the federal system. I. Separation of Powers In our constitutional structure, each branch of government plays a role in maintaining the stability and accountability of the government by checking the other branches’ exercise of power. Within this delicate balance, efforts by one branch to subvert the authority or legitimacy of either of the other branches threatens the rule of law. A. Independent Judiciary The judiciary’s power “extend[s] to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority.”4 Implicit in this grant is the power to review acts of Congress and the executive to determine their constitutionality.5 The independence of the judiciary—in which “judges exercis[e] judicial powers 1 MASS.
