SUBJECT: Simi Landfill and Recycling Center Annual Rate Adjustment

The Simi Valley Landfill and Recycling Center (SVLRC) adjusts disposal rates annually in accordance with the 1999 agreement between the City and Waste Management of California, Inc. Rate adjustments are based on the a an e Consumer Price Index. The rate adjustment tor 2016 results in 1.2 percent increase, r $0.75 per ton for disposal of municipal solid waste (from $61. p

Waste Management also pays a facility fee to the City for residential and commercial solid waste disposed at SVLRC. For 2016, the fee will increase by from $3.64 to $3.66 per ton. This fee contributes approximately $270,000 annually to the City solid waste fund.

While the landfill rate adjustment impacts disposal costs for solid waste haulers, it has no impact on the rates established by the City for residential and commercial solid waste service. These rates are calculated using a separate methodology established in our exclusive franchise agreements for residential and commercial solid waste service. The City's annual solid waste rate adjustment for 2016 is approximately one percent. Rates were approved by Council on November 10, 2015.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Chris Ball at x2446.

My name is Nick Fotheringham, and I am the . dJ 1 -- ~ Chair of the Council on Aging. ~ Last term Council on Aging was successful in our regular meeting programming which included· some outstanding speakers on programs of interest to seniors. We continue to serve as liaisons to various senior agencies, and we hosted a successful Senior of the Year event in June. Included in our report is a 5-year summary of SAMP team accomplishments and we think you will be impressed at the list, we were. We could not have accomplished this without a dedicated team of people. I want to take the time to thank my fellow COA members. In addition, we have approximately 35 SAMP team members led by team leaders Alyce Klussman- housing, Paul Norr- health, Annette Broersma -recreation, Jayne Messier- transportation, and Dinah Frishling- Assistance & volunteering. We want to thank them for their dedication over the past five years of implementation. And we can't forget to thank City Transportation staff, MV Transit, CRPD, Goebel Center, Area Housing Authority, Many Mansions, Ventura County Health, California Lutheran University, the Oaks Mall, and various other senior service businesses who have come to many meetings and partnered on projects. While we looked at our accomplishments, we also spent time discussing our goals and the implementation process of the Senior Adult Master Plan. The team goals have become very integrated, so we have decided to reorganize SAMP and meet as one group 4 times a year to discuss concerns and solutions. These four meetings will replace approximately 40 separate monthly T earn meetings. This sharing of information has already been successful in that it focused our attention to the one concern everyone agrees is the most critical for our City- housing. Thousand Oaks lacks sufficient assisted living facilities and low income housing to meet the needs of its rapidly growing senior population. 0hile we believe the City should develop a reasonable plan for more senior development, in an effort to think out of the box and develop a temporary solution, the Council on Aging and SAMP AN Team has been researching and learning about Village to Vi!lag,e_gver the past three years. ( This is a national movement aimed at helping seniors have the support they need to stay in their own homes longer. This past year the team conducted many focus groups and community meetings, and completed a feasibility study on what a village would look like in the Conejo Valley. It is included in our report as Exhibit B to the implementation plan. This feasibility study was provided to interested parties. As a result, a group of dedicated citizens, separate from Council on Aging, have taken the project to the next level which will include filing paperwork for a 501c3, forming a board, researching funding, and the many other tasks associated with this level of a project. They have secured the name of Conejo Valley Village.

--- r - We chose this project to highlight tonight because we believe it will have the biggest impact on the community for years to come. We want to thank Dinah Frishling for taking the lead on this and the City for your support to complete the study. As a Commission we look forward to watching the success of this newly formed non-profit in our community. Thank you for your continual support of the Council on Aging. We look forward to another successful year. Thank you.

Chuck Rogers (retired) C~ {y Gv" c( I City of Thousand Oaks Hill Canyon Wastewater Treatment Plant .__----.. N 1~ sJo•y o" [\Avc... k .

Over the hill? Hardly! Hill Canyon's Plant Manager Chuck Rogers has some great advice and strong viewpoints to share after 31 years as a wastewater professional. He recently stepped down as Plant Manager of this award' winning facility and is heading into retirement. The facility is generating its own electricity from solar and biogas energy projects installed under his watch and producing high quality recycled water.

We sat down with him at the City of Thousand Oaks' beautiful Hill Canyon Treatment Plant recently to get his thoughts before he rode down the canyon road one last time in his Prius. Oh - and you really should call this place "Hill Canyon Inc.," read on to learn why ...

1. How did you get into the wastewater profession?

I was living in Michigan and my wife and I were asking ourselves- why live in Michigan? It really hit home one night when my wife and I were driving home on a cold night and we hit a snow drift. The car was dead. So as we're walking the 1 mile back to the house- I told my wife about a flyer from the USC Fine Arts Department advertising their Masters Program. In short time, we found ourselves in sunny and wann Southern California.

I became a high school teacher but couldn't see myself doing that for years. I was looking for work and I was unemployed with a house payment, and in no position to wait for the perfect job. so when a neighbor told me about a job with a company that sent Vactor trucks out to storm drains in the LA Basin- I said sign me up.

COUNCIL MAll Page 1 DATE //-19 -1~ November 19, 2015

Having developed a lifetime appreciation for all those who operate collection systems, I moved to municipal treatment plants -and I happened to work at some facilities that were not so good back in those days. That really taught me how to make things better.

I learned to be a dedicated public servant and that we really can make a difference. I also had some great mentors back then. Art Custer, Kelly Polk, so many more. As a young OIT I really focused on optimization- how can I make this system better? I found out I loved working with technology.

What helped me was the organization where I worked could be hired and fired from running the treatment plants. That certainly helped me to understand the importance of customer service. l grew up in an organization that provided service at the most economical price. We had to get clients and keep them - that was a great learning experience.

2. What advice do you give young professionals about leadership?

First and foremost be a great employee, listen and learn. You try to get better every day.

Today you have to be tech savvy, if you're not, then this is not the career path for you.

I really think we're looking at a future with fewer people at our facilities and more technology. We're going to see more control technicians and a different set of skills necessary to operate the facility.

Our work is not just about clean water, it's far more complicated than that.

The real focus of the future will be plant optimization, energy generation and hiring and developing great employees. Clean water is not what I have to worry about today- that happens reliably. Focus on optimizing the plant where you work. Never get satisfied. Want an example of a modern leader doing great things in our field: Logan Olds (GAl/ at Victor Valley Water Reclamation Authority).

You shouldn't get into this career if you don't want to be on the path to a lifetime ofleaming.

3. How has the General Manager's job changed over the years'?

A lot can be said about building a great team- a talented group of professionals doing the right thing.

I believe it's important to take the time to hire the right people and I try to be as supportive and direct as I can in leading those employees and empowering them to be great. If you surround yourselfwith top notch people you're going to achieve great things together. I believe that's what's important.

My job today requires me to be a business manager. My technical skills are important to have, but business skills are critical. This is after all a production facility- right- a green factory. We should have people with business skills running these facilities.

By insisting our people have a set level of Operator certification, we're closing the door on a much larger pool of talented candidates. I think all Operator certifications should be voluntary in nature just like other CWEA certifications. Nothing in my opinion guarantees success by hiring certified Operators. A treatment plant owner, whether a City or private owners is never going to give up the

Page 2 November 19, 2015 responsibility of meeting permit conditions, it willjust have the freedom to figure out the best way to do it.

Why not a business savvy MBA running a multi-million dollar organization? Can't they learn what we as facility operators know? By insisting on having a prescribed certified Operator level managing the facility, I think we're closing the doors on a much larger pool of candidates. We simply are not looking at the widest variety of talented people we can employ.

It always comes down to the bottom line- are we optimizing the facility and does it make business sense? We need to give the best deal we can to the public. I think that requires a new set ofbusiness and optimization skills. If we're thinking about ourselves instead ofthose we are paid to serve, I think we've lost the focus of being what a public servant should be.

4. What do you see as the future of the wastewater profession?

You know we call this place Hill Canyon, Inc. That's because we're focused on optimizing our operations. We have several businesses - we sell clean water to fanners, we accept FOG and other waste for a fee, we rent out our nearby land to farmers and we rent out portions of the plant to film crews. We did our homework - we devised business plans that made sense. It bas to make financial sense or we're not going to do it. We see HCTP as one big opportunity to do great things and keep rates low for our customers.

We generate all of our electrical power needs onsite, and that just didn't happen over night. If we can do it, others can too.

Like many facility leaders, I'm wondering when we'll move to direct potable reuse.

Finally, our future is going to require all skilled employees of a wastewater plant to improve our efforts. Be better business people, optimizers, control technicians, operators, electricians, lab, mechanics, admin staff.

I have great faith in an industry I've seen grow so dramatically during my career. I've met so many wonderful people who share my passion for service and our environment. And the joy we get from operating our beloved wastewater treatment plants.

I wish all of you the best. Do great things!

The slate's Fair PoH/ical Practices Commission takes the position that lhfl value of the lunch should be repolted on dty officials' statement of economic Interests form. Beceust1 of the se!Vice you provide a! theS{I mtletings, the League takes the position that the value of the lunch sllCUid be reporled as irteome (in return for your st~rvice to the committee} as opposed to a gift {note that this is ag! income for slate or feder&J incotT~e l8x /)!NpOSe~just Po!itic8l R9fi:Jrm Act repolfing purposes}. The League has been pet:iistent, but unsuccessful, in attempting to change the FPPC's mind about this interpretation. As such, we feel we need to let you know abovf the issue so you can determine your couf3e of aclion.

If you would prefer not to have to repolt the value of the lunches as income. we will let you know the amount so you can reimburse the League. The lunches lend to run in the $30 to $45 range. CONEJO OPEN SPACE CONSERVATION AGENCY

file:// /C:!Users/cmd~arrettlAppData/Local/Temp!XPgrpwise/564C851 BCT0%20MAIN. .. I 1118/2015 New resources for low income older adults

There are new resources available in our community for adults age 55 and older with household incomes at or below two hundred and fifty percent of the federal poverty guidelines ($29,425 per individual or $39,825 per couple) who are struggling financially.

Surprisingly, the current fed era I poverty guide Ii n e does not reflect he althc are costs. If we had a more accurate measure of poverty, the older adult poverty rate would be considerably higher. Increased medical costs for older adults greatly reduce the income availa ble to meet food and housing needs.

Special challenges exist for low income adults in different age groups. The 55 to 64 age group faces one set of hurdles, while those age 65 and older face others.

Low income adults in the younger age group need to work but often face longer periods of joblessness and have less of a chance of finding a job compared to their peers with higher incomes.

The same groups' limited budgets are stretched even further by expenditures on healthcare since they are not eligible for Medicare.

According to a recent study medical spending for adults between the ages of 55 and 64 is almost twice the amount spent by those between the ages of 35 and 44. Healthcare costs have contributed to the rise in bankruptcy filings among this age group.

In certain instances these same low income older adults may be caring for and financially supporting aging parents or grand children, further tightening their limited income.

Most low income older Americans age 65+ receive support from Social Security and Medicare. These same seniors however may be coping with lower retirement savings that need t o be prolonged as they live longer lives.

Women in the 65+ age group are more likely than men to face economic hardship due to lower earnings, absence from the labor market due to childbirth and engaging in jobs t hat were less likely to have employer-sponsored retirement plans.

Furthermore women's smaller retirement savings have to last longer because women outlive men by five years on average.

Older adults with serious economic needs often don't know where to turn to get a· comprehensive review of their situation and gain an understanding of various services that may help them.

In a recent partnership between The National Council on Aging and Senior Concerns, local programs will now be offered to improve the economic security of older adults (age 55+) in our community with annual incomes below $29,425. The program will begin December 17th with the first one-stop-shop for free Economic Check Ups designed to highlight community resources available to assist adults in managing budgets, saving money, finding work, and setting financial goals. It is free and confidential.

Fifty-four percent of those screened were eligible for at least one major benefit such as the Medicare Savings Program, Part D Low-Income Subsidy, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program or State Prescription Assistance Program.

later that same day Senior Concerns and Bank of America will present a special community seminarfor low income individuals age 55+ titled Savvy Saving Seniors®, It's In the Cards, from 5:30-7:00 p.m., at Senior Concerns, 401 Hodencamp Road, Thousand Oaks. low income seniors looking for ways to better manage and protect their money, sometimes find government-issued and prepaid cards a popular alternative to traditional checking accounts and credit and debit cards. This seminar will explore the questions to ask about prepaid card fees, tips and tricks for managing and protecting prepaid cards, and information on ca rd-associated scams.

If you meet the age and income qualifications and wish to make an appointment for an Economic Check Up or make a reservation for the seminar, please contact Senior Concerns at 805-497-0189.

Each day ten thousand baby boomers reach senior hood. Holistic economic counseling can be a huge stress reliever for low income seniors dea ling with the uncertainty of getting older. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Janet Young November 18, 2015 (805) 497 ·0189

VENTURA, California- On November 18, 2015, the Ventura County Environmental Health Division (Division) received confirmation from the California Department of Public Health that a blood sample collected by the Division from one of its sentinel chicken flocks tested positive for the West Nile Virus (WNV).

This blood sample was collected during the second week of November from the sentinel chicken flock in Simi Valley. This is the eleventh sentinel chicken to test positive for the WNV in Ventura County in 201 5 (seven were sentinel chickens kept by the City of Moorpark).

The Division monitors and controls mosquito breeding sources throughout Ventura County. All mosquito sources in the area where this positive sample was collected will be inspected and treated if necessary.

Although the shorter days and cooler weather will reduce mosquito activity, the public is still advised to take the following precautions to minimize exposure to the WNV: Eliminate standing water from your property; make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens without holes; when outdoors wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts and limit activity especially at dawn and dusk; when outdoors apply insect repellent. The WNV can also affect horses and owners are encouraged to contact their veterinarian for additional information.

To report any potential mosquito breeding sources in Ventura County the public can call the mosquito complaint HOTLINE at 805/658-4310. The Division also provides mosquito eating fish to the public to use in non-maintained swimming pools, ornamental ponds and similar water features. To request mosquito-eating fish call 805/662-6582. To report wild birds that have died recently call the California Department of Public Health at 877/WNV Bird (877/968-2473).

2 California City Solutions: Glendora Prepares Foothill Community for Post-Wildfire Effects during Seasonal Weather This story is part of an ongoing series featuring Helen Putnam Award entries. The 2015 entries are available on the League's website as a resource for cities in a searchable database called California City Solutions. Glendora's Colby Fire Recovery communication plan was submitted in 2015 for the Public Safety award category.

The Colby Fire started on Jan. 16, 2014 in the foothills above Glendora, eventually burning 1,962 acres. Fanned by the strong Santa Ana winds, the fire destroyed five homes, injured one person, and forced the evacuation of 3,600 people. A post-fire assessment of the burn area shows that a portion of the city is susceptible to debris and mud flows during rain storms for the next three to five years. This prompted Glendora to develop a color-coded alert system and multi-faceted outreach plan to prepare the community for future emergencies.

Although there were many favorable factors at play during the Colby Fire -lighter traffic during the start of the fire, availability of water-dropping airplanes, and no conflicting fires to detour resources from the area- the city's preplanning was invaluable. Still, Glendora's leaders saw opportunities to fine tune the city's emergency outreach.

The city grappled with how to communicate the progress of emergency services with the community and media during potential mudslide events in an efficient. timely and wide-reaching manner.

A color-coded alert system, consisting of green, yellow, orange, and red, was developed to explain parking restrictions, evacuation protocols, and re-entry protocols, as well as an educational component for those unable to evacuate.

Automated alert status changes are made by using the rules wizard in Microsoft Outlook, allowing select personnel to change the color status instantly by sending an email message with a specified keyword. Using an application called If This, Then That (IFTTT) allowed to the city to automate status alert changes through social media outlets, including images and text.

A webpage specific to the fire and mud slide-affected areas serves as an information portal for citizens. It features the color-coded alert status, frequently asked questions, an impact area emergency alert signup form, temporary railing information, a media center, restoration and preparedness information, and post~storm assessment reports. Resource links connect residents to our varied preparedness partners, including the United States Geological Survey, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and Los Angeles County Public Works and Fire.

The city created a Colby Fire Impact Area, which comprises nearly 1,000 homes that could potentially be affected by dangerous debris and mud flow, and sends messages through Nixie, a service for local police departments, county emergency management offices, and municipal governments to connect with local residents by sending important text, website, and email notifications. Glendora surveyed residents to obtain data for the notifications, including names and all available contact information for everyone in each household, as well as a section for any family members that required assistance in evacuating.

During the morning of the Colby Fire, two dispatchers answered 397 calls between 5 and 9 a.m., which is nearly a 700 percent increase from normal activity. Since then, a social media team was created to inform the public, media and public safety partners of current events, status updates on critical incidents, and current alert level.

The city developed a mobile application to share photos taken in the field which are tagged with a location, date and time. Pictures are emailed to a designated address and processed by another Outlook rule. The end result is a live feed of pictures in the city's Emergency Operations Center to track storm progression.

Press releases are posted to city's website, which are automatically distributed by RSS feed and e-Notification, and the city's Facebook and Twitter pages. Press conferences are covered by city

3 staff, with key points distributed through real time tweets, as well as video recorded to post on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and the city's website media center.

Before the Colby Fire, the city's social media reached between 200 to 2,000 people weekly. During the week of the first storms following the fire (Feb. 24 through March 2, 2014) the city's reach jumped to 43,000. Social media updates helped lower the volume of calls received at the dispatch center. During the peak of the storm between 5 and 9 a.m., only 92 calls were received, a 76 percent decrease compared with the same time frame during the fire.

The Colby Fire Information webpage has been a key resource for impact area updates. It tracks 2,000 to 5,000 unique page views per month and has seen over 11,000 page views since its creation.

The combination of emergency response alerts allows residents multiple choices on how they wish to receive their information.

State and Local Legal Center Advocates to the Supreme Court for Local Governments By: Lisa Soronen, executive director, State & Local Legal Center

Since 1983 the State and Local Legal Center (SLLC) has filed amicus curiae briefs to the United States Supreme Court on behalf of the "Big Seven" national organizations representing the interests of state and local government. The Big Seven groups include: the National Governors Association, the National Conference of State Leg islatures, Council of State Governments, the National League of Cities (NLC), the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the National Association of Counties, and the International City/County Management Association. The International Municipal Lawyers Association and the Government Finance Officers Association also belong to SLLC.

State leagues participate in SLLC through NLC. Many state leagues contribute financially on an annual basis to support SLLC.

In 2014 the Arkansas Municipal League defended a high speech police chase case before the Supreme Court. SLLC filed an amicus brief supporting the league.

5 SLLC files an amicus brief in a Supreme Court case where three of the seven members of SLLC want a brief written and two organizations do not veto participation. Each SLLC member decides whether to sign onto an SLLC brief after reviewing its contents.

To date, SLLC has filed over 300 Supreme Court briefs. SLLC generally files briefs in cases involving federalism and preemption and in other cases where the interests of state and local government are at stake.

It is not unusual for the Court to cite or quote an SLLC brief in an opinion or discuss a SLLC brief at oral argument.

Lisa Soronen is the executive director of SLLC. She is a resource to the Big Seven on the Supreme Court. SLLC also offers moot courts to attorneys arguing state and local government cases before the Supreme Court. Each year SLLC offers Supreme Court Review, Preview, and Mid-Term webinars and articles focusing on cases from the term affecting state and local government. Soronen also writes about Supreme Court cases affecting cities on the NLC blog, the Weekly, and the Federal Advocacy Update.

6 The Kiplinger Letter FORECASTS FOR EXECUTIVES AND INVESTORS 1100 13th Street NW, Washington, DC 20005 • kiplinger.com • Vol. 92, No. 46

Dear Client: Washington, Nov. 13, 2015

The question dogging investors as 2016 nears: ECONOMIC FORECASTS Is a bear market nipping at their heels? Our take: Don't give u:p on the bull market yet. GOP qrowth 2.8% in '16, up a little But as the bull heads for its eighth year ... from 2.5% in '15 Investors must cope with heightened volatility Interest rates in one of the trickiest investing climates in years, ;~ 10·year T-notes at 2.7% by end '16; with the Federal Reserve nudging up interest rates, 2.3% at end '15 corporate profits growing tepidly, price-earnings ratios Inflation unlikely to expand and political rhetoric boiling over. ~ 2.3% by end '16, up from 1.2% at end 'IS So what can investors expect, on average? Unemployment Stock prices will appreciate moderately .. . Declining to 4.6% by end 16, in mid-single-digit percentages over the next year .. . from 5% at end '15 commensurate with modest gains in corporate earnings. Crude oil That would put the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index -#· Trading from $40 to $45/bbl. at about 2,200 and Dow Jones approaching 19,000. by Dec. Including two percentage points of dividend yield ... ······ ··· ···········•· ··············· We look for U.S. stocks to return roughly 8%. Consumer confidence Hlgh, but only modest gains in '16 as wage growth picks up slowly The key to market gains next year: Complete economic outlook at A revival of corporate profits. Earnings growth klplinQer.com/outlooks will tally near zero for 2015 when the counting is done. Sales growth ... the Godot of corporate America ... has yet to materialize in any big way. We think earnings will grow 6% to 8% on average over the course of 2016.

Still plenty to worry about. of course. The shaky global economy is a concern, particularly with China morphing from a rapidly growing manufacturing economy to a slower-growing, consumer-driven one. (More on China's economy on page 2.) The U.S. economy, which we expect will strengthen, albeit only modestly. And a geopolitical or economic shock that could derail the stock market. A more banal possibility: Downwa rd revision s in growth expectations .. .little by little. All in all. we continue to think that the weight of th e evidence favors the bull.

Among stocks to consider in a world of slow economic growth: Companies with stellar finances and stable earnings, which can take volatility. Think CVS Health , the supermarket giant Kroger and apparel maker VF Corp. Firms that make and market nonessential goods. One way to invest in them is through Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR, an exchange-traded fund. Technology stocks. They're good performers, and they remain well priced, given growth prospects for highfliers such as Alphabet... the ex-Google ... and Facebook plus below-average valuations for "old tech" such as Intel and Cisco Systems. Fund investors can find many leaders in the T. Rowe Price Global Technology Fund. Income investors will in many cases do better with stocks than with bonds as interest rates rise and bond prices, which move in the opposite direction, fall. A solid choice for fund investors to consider: Vanguard Dividend Growth Fund.

Box 62900, Tampa, Fl. 33S82. Editorial inlormaffon: T~l.. 21)2.887-8462: e-mail, [email protected] Elevated stock prices should give a boost to consumer spending next year. The ratio of household n et worth to household income has nearly returned to the peak hit nine years ago, with high stock prices ... as opposed to home prices ... the biggest driver. That will spur folks to spend and lift GOP by 0.5 per centage point. But the added oomph from stock market gains isn't distributed evenly. Stock ownership is skewed toward states a long the coasts, especially in the Northeast and the West plus Fla. Those areas figure to see the biggest gains from more spending. In Calif., fo r instance, avera.ge h ou sehold stock wealth runs a h efty $250,000.

A continuing headache for home builders in 2016: Finding skilled workers. After an exodus of carpen ters, electricians and the like following the h ousing bust, the industry has seen on ly a modest u ptick in employment. Some workers departed for greener pastures in the energy industry, which had boomed u p until last year. And of those skilled craftsmen who remain, many are approach ing retirement age. Some firms will have little choice but to raise pay, both for hourly workers and for salaried employees. Rising new-home sales and brisk commercial construction are good news for the building industry, but they will also spur demand for workers. Employers are hoping that a greater emphasis on technical education and training will eventually attract enough young folks to fill the ranks, but that's a slow process.

Is China's economic slowdown worse than its official statistics let on? Yes ... somewhat. Beijing says Chinese GOP is expanding by about 7%, which is conveniently in line with the government's growth target for this year. The true rate is a lmost certainly lower ... a fact an authoritarian regime can't admit without losing face. So growth estimates get inflated for political purposes. But the government's numbers probably aren't too far off the mark. Current growth is likely close to 6%, rather than the official 7% rate. Some skeptical economists peg the rate as low as 4% to 5%. But such estimates tend to focus on flagging industrial output and investment, and overlook sectors that are booming, such as services and retail sales. Those are harder to measure.

The bottom line: China's economy is decelerating but not falling off a cliff. Such fears, which rattled stock m arkets last summer, are looking overblown now. llf:ji A rare event for emerging markets: Net capital invested will decline this year lim l from last year's level. An outright drop in capital hasn 't happened since 1988 and reflects the fact that emerging market s continue to see their GDP growth cool off. Also, an improving picture in developed economies and expected rising interest rates in the U.S. are prompting investors to look for a new home for their capital. 2016 won't look any better for emerging markets. After this year's outflow of about half a trillion dollars, capital will continue to flee countries su ch as Brazil and Russia next year. That'll com pound the challenge posed by slowing econ omies in many emerging m a rket n ations, even as most developed markets pick up the pace.

Canadian econ omic policy is in for a course adjustment following election s that ousted Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper in favor of Justin Trudeau, a Liberal. Look for Ottawa to run m oderate budget deficits for at least two years as Trudeau ramps up spending on infrastructure to give Canada's economy a jolt. Sagging oil prices have helped send the energy exporting giant into a mild recession. Canada's GDP growth should perk up soon, eking out a slim 1.2% increase for all of 2015 and a healthier 2.2% next year. Canada is the U.S.'s top trade partner, so a pickup will be quite welcome in America, too. But note that u nder Trudeau, Canada will nix plans to buy pricey new F-35 fighter jets made by Lockheed Martin.

Remember, your subscription includes The Kiplinger Letter online Look for more retailers to back away from the use of on-call scheduling, which requires workers to be available for duty du ring a particular period without knowing if they're n eeded until the last minute. The practice lets employers precisely control their staffing costs, but many workers complain that being on call interferes with their personal lives and that they aren't paid for th e time spent waiting. Gap, J.Crew, Starbucks a nd other stores have nixed such scheduling or plan to do so. Bills to halt on-call scheduling are pendin g in several states, including Conn., In d ., Mich. and Ore. Most of the proposals would require advance scheduling of shifts, plus tougher recordkeeping rules and fines for schedule changes made without notice. San Francisco already penalizes use of on-call scheduling by chains operating there.

The feds are tightening rules that protect farmworkers from pesticides. The changes are the first update to the Environmental Protection Agency's rules on pesticides in 23 years a nd will affect 2 million workers on farms, ranches, etc. Among the provisions: Workers must u ndergo safety training every year, up from every five years. Kids under 18 will be ba rred from handling pesticides u nle.ss they are related to the farm owners. Records of pesticides used must be kept for two years. And workers' protective gear will require stricter testing and u pkeep. Industrv groups say the regs are a costly burden, but they won't fight them.

Workplace safety violations will trigger stiffer fines. The recent budget law contains a little-noticed provision that jacks up the penalties imposed by OSHA... Occupational Safety and Health Admin ... by up to 80%. Employers and labor groups were surprised by the change, and no one in Congress is taking credit for it so far. The increases mean fines for "willful" and repeat offenses could rise to $ 126,000, while less severe types of violations could incur fines up to $12,600, from $7,000 now. Penalties could ke ep rising in the future, with amounts tied to inflation.

Can you reward workers for providing info on their family medical history? Regulators are inclined to allow it as part of a wellness plan. Having that data could lower employers' health plan costs, but a federal genetic antidiscrimination law bars employers from asking for it except under certain circumstances. The EEOC ... Equ al Employment Opportunity Comm... plans to spell out when it will be OK to do so. Participation must be voluntary. And financial rewards can't be too high. Compensation for sharing health data ... through questionnaires or medical exams ... would be capped at 30% of the total cost of a family's health plan. The type of incentive could range from discounts on workers' premiums to cash payments or prizes. The reg would allow queries about the health history of both workers and their spouses.

Democratic mayors will be pushing to sign up folks for Obamacare coverage as the health reform law's open enrollment gets going. This fall marks the third period in which u ninsured people can sh op for coverage on the state and federal exchanges, and backers of the law expect tha t drawing in new customers will be harder this time. So the White House is calling upon big cities with high rates of uninsured residents to boost enrollments. 20 cities, led m ostly by Democratic mayors, have signed on. Among them: Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Milwaukee, Nashville, Tenn., and Phoenix.

States will be quick to scout out trade opportunities stemming from TPP. .. the Trans-Pacific Partnership ... the free trade pact between a dozen countries around the Pacific Ocean, including the U.S. Congress has yet to sign off on the deal, but many states already have offices overseas that promote their trade interests, including some in TPP signatories such as Australia, Canada, Chile and Mexico. Pa. leads the way with 17 foreign trade offices, followed by Fla. at 14 and Mo. a t 12. More trade offices are sure to pop up abroad. Most states have at least one, and the number of such offices has grown from 177 in 2013 to nearly 200 today.

For instant online access and searchable archives, go to kiplinger.com/start Commercial aerial drone use in the U.S. is ready to soar. Already, the FAA... Federal Aviation Admin... has allowed 2,200 exemptions for commercial use. A thousand or so more a re likely before rules for drones under 55 pou nds are set in 2016. After that, bu siness uses of the unmanned aircraft will ramp up even m ore. By 2019 or so. the d rone business will have created tens of thousands of jobs, mostly for drone pilots, technicians and software developers. Nearly every sector of the economy will u se drones, which are cheaper, smaller and safer than planes. Among business uses: Tracking livestock and keeping tabs on c rops. Inspecting gas and oil pipelines as well as power lines. Providing online access in rural areas. Monitoring traffic and crowds. Providin g video for sports and n ews. Ch ecking for property damage. And tracking progress on major construction projects.

Drone deliveries ... once far-fetched ... are set to gain traction in the next decade, with Amazon, Google and Walmart at the head of the parade. Nearly 90% of items shipped by Amazon weigh less than five pou n ds ... light enough for small drones. Don't be surprised if delivery drones function as fixed-wing and helicopter hybrids, flying like planes to cover a lot of ground, then hovering to make precise deliveries. In theory, aerial service could slash delivery time to under 30 minutes, a boon to Amazon, which hopes deploying a drone fleet will boost the number of custom ers who are willing to join its paid membership program. Others will follow Amazon's lead.

Red tape. not technology. figures to be the biggest headwind. At the mom ent, th e FAA requires commercial drones to be in the line of sight of a licensed op erator. That federal rule, which limits m any potential uses, will change in coming years. Meanwhile. builders and users will need help complying with complex rules. Because they often la ck expertise, they'll have to shell out for training and equipment, including hiring consultants and purchasing software to h elp manage their fleets. Skyward, for one, offers software that covers rules, airspace maps and flight data. In the s hort term, makers will voluntarily embrace new safety developments to avoid tougher state and federal rules that might be added as use of drones grows.

Small businesses will soon be able to level the playing field on one front: Using sensing systems to crunch customer data, a step usually reserved for larger firms. With advanced computer vision, GoDaddy and other website builders can count customers or passersby. Also on the way: Advances in social media platforms that can help close a sale. For example, ads on Facebook can show a "call now" button that dials the closest s tore in a cha in or franchise or offer a viewer customized deals. Potential benefits: Higher sales. better staffing a nd smarter marketing.

The stepped-up fight against ISIS makes for feel-good headlines in the U.S. But don't expect it to be a turning point in the fight against the terrorists, no matter how successful U.S. and Kurdish forces are with air and ground assaults. This isn't a conventional battle. There is no ISIS central command to attack. So even if it is routed in one part of Iraq or in Syria , it will remain strong elsewhere. Airstrikes alone won't work. It'll take ground troops, and plenty of time.

described as "an absurdly long horizon for any kind of land-use planning" by John Krist, CEO of the Farm Bureau of Ventura County, to the what Key Note Speaker Professor Gabriel described as the real benefit of SOAR: the delivery of quality of life benefits to those urban land owners within the boundaries at the expense of land owners outside of the boundaries.

14th ANNUAL HOUSING CONFERENCE REPORT

By Dao Doan

In recent months, the tragic predicament Ventura of refugees from Middle Eastern County countries flooding across borders into Housing European safe heavens dominated the Conference international news media. Among the urgent needs to address their -- accommodation, authorities worry about where and how to shelter them, as hundreds of thousands still linger in tented camps for months, many going on into years.

On our continent, without the tragedy attached but still with a pressing concern, a couple of hundred people got together in Ventura County on October 7 for the 14th Housing Conference in Camarillo to discuss this very same topic. Housing needs in

the County are definitely under strain, as the shortage grows cumulatively with every year we keep talking about it yet fail to fully address it.

One issue, two places a world apart. Indeed, housing needs seem to be a universal theme spanning the societies and cultures. It is a core necessity for people, next to food and water. It is truly a measure of modern society's health.

To view the topic in a broader global context and understand its economic impact on local housing issues, the conference attendees came together to hear Dr. Stuart A. Gabriel, the keypote speaker, share findings of his research. Dr. Gabriel is Director of the Ziman Center for Real Estate at UCLA and is Arden Realty Chair and Professor of Finance at UCLA Anderson School of Management. His research focuses on topics of real estate finance and economics, housing and mortgage markets, urban and regional economics, and macroeconomics.

From the information he presented, some sobering data:

• China, now the 2nd largest economy, is in a recession. Many speculate a potential bubble burst coming soon. The recent stock market crash took investors by surprise, although they should have been warned by some obvious symptoms. Indeed the overzealous push for massive developments in many regions has left entire ghost communities with not a living soul there. In the drive to show strong GOP growth to the central government, regional political leaders have promoted gigantic development projects faster than buyers can show up to absorb the products. The only benefit is that the local leaders can claim (false) GDP on the basis of the "ghost" value added to their bottom line. Nobody knows whether the likely downturn will be a soft or hard landing, government prop-ups notwithstanding. As a major trading partner with the U.S., a China hiccup can have deep reverberations here.

• Japan is in its second decade of slow growth. Its economic culture, where workers are traditionally guaranteed jobs for life, has been partially culpable. A low birth rate, late marriage, and an increased aging population exacerbate the problem. Japan is actually experiencing a deflation, where the cost of goods and services decreases, bringing down revenues with it. In fact its Debt/GOP ratio is higher than in Greece. However, the reason the country has been able to sustain that debt is because it is owed mostly internally (as compared to the US, whose debts may be owned by China for instance). It is still an economic super power, but there are significant internal dysfunctions it has not been able to fully address.

• Jt is now common knowledge that Europe is in trouble, with Greece teetering on bankruptcy; Italy struggling along very slow growth with demographic problem not unlike Japan; and Spain just a few steps behind Greece on the precipice. Germany is alone with any steam to pull these sinking economies, but Germans are less and less willing to put up their hard earned tax money to feed the engine.

Amid those bleak su rrou ndi ngs, the u.s. Benchmark lO·year government bond yields • I,;K • l.l;) • Geomany • JapJn

may appear like a beacon of economic dynamism to some, the only engine of global growth. However the question remains whether the other economies will bring us down, or we are going to bring them up? For comparison purposes, a ten-year US treasury yields 3% vs 0% in Japan. Capital has returned to the US again as investors bet on bonds and the real estate market. The recession has faded and unemployment significantly reduced (last week it was the lowest since almost 8 years ago, at around 5%, which is normally considered full employment by economists), although their shadows still hover over our heads.

With the market recovering, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen considered raising the Fed fund rate above the current near-zero level. In the end she decided against it to avoid the market going into a double dip and allow the economy more time to recover. Inflation is still negligible, but normally such low level does not allow the Fed the ability to respond effectively to the market as it cannot go any lower. The Fed Fund Futures Market anticipates a 5% probability that the Fed will tighten its rate.

Compared to the rest of the country, all signs are California will grow in excess of the US, over 3% vs. about 2%. The state has shown good employment gains although its downturn was deeper. This is most visible in a rebounded housing market, where Coastal California remains the most unaffordable area in which to live. The downside is many commute from the interior where housing is more affordable to the coast for work and leisure, rendering an already bad-traffic region worse.

The housing profile also went through changes. With the senior population growing and more millennials coming of age, more than 50% of US households rent. Additionally, in LA County alone there is a shortage of about 500,000 units. Adding fuel to the fire, the homeless crisis creates a burden on society nobody knows how to best resolve.

In the face of more housing development pressure, and with SOAR coming up for are vote, what does this mean for SOAR and the rest of the community in terms of meeting its housing needs? Dr. Gabriel acknowledged that we all want to promote quality of life. The challenging question is how to best do it. Some believe it is by establishing urban growth boundaries like SOAR However, boundaries benefit properties within (property value increases), but are detrimental to those outside (property value decreases).

Dr. Gabriel suggested that with SOAR looming, density may be a solution to balance the desire to preserve open space around an urban boundary with the need to meet demand for more housing. Some recent signs support that view. Millennials tend to gravitate to dense developments where services are more conveniently available. These dense development areas are ''walking and bicycle friendly." They are more efficient yielding goods and services per unit of land. Yet in Ventura County popular belief tends to be against density.

That creates an awkward conundrum. Communities that choose to maintain their status quo have ended up creating an outwardly attractive shell to a rather dysfunctional internal structure. Such is the example of Santa Barbara, which has policies that indirectly limit growth to the degree it has become an exceptionally unaffordable place in which to live. A highly popular tourist destination, it is simply a

file: /1/C:/U sers/cmdgarrettlAppData/LocaVTem p/XPgrp\Vise/56486845CT0%20MAINC... 11/16/20 15 Page 5 of 11

coastal enclave of the "haves" while the "have-nots" from the outside commute in to provide services. The comparison is inevitable: Is Ventura going to be stagnant like Santa Barbara? That would seem to be a selfish conceptualization of quality of life where, for instance, the farm workers and the poor are not invited to share at the table of plenty.

Dr. Gabriel concluded that essentially sprawl as we know it is dead ·- the lack of water and the State water and other infrastructure simply can't support it. Going forward, he said, it is not wise to plan single family development.

The density topic was discussed again at one of the panels, where Roy Prince raised the issue about why Oxnard does not allow higher density along the Boulevard. He promotes 4- 5 stories there to create sufficient critical mass to generate more retail activity. However, many policies still in place, such as minimum parking requirements, height restriction, etc., essentially make it very hard to have such building scale.

The issue clearly will not be resolved in one conference. Many more years may pass before Ventura County sees a surge in density development. Meanwhile people will continue to wait for more housing to be affordable.

HOUSING IN MY BACKYARD By Sandy Smith

This year I had the opportunity to serve ~ The Price as a moderator for one of three break out sessions at the Annual Housing ~ ofl)aradise Opportunities Made Easier (HOME) Unintended Consequences housing conference. The title of this year's conference was "The Price of Paradise: Unintended Consequences," and true to its yearly mission, the conference focused on issues surroWlding our County's ability to provide affordable housing to our workforce and residents. The closing panel concentrated their discussion on SOAR (Save Open-space and Agricultural Resources), and whether the adoption of the SOAR ordinances has had an impact on our ability to permit and approve housing, and/or has it served to fuel the high cost of housing in our region.

For those new to SOAR, the SOAR ordinances prevent changes in three land use categories Wlless approved by a majority of voters: open space, agriculture, and rural land. With the exception of the City of Ventura where all land and properties zoned agriculture are reserved for farm production and require a vote of the residents to alter that use, the other seven cities with SOAR ordinances have adopted an "urban curb." The curb restricts development to areas within an adopted border around the City, and development outside that curb requires a public vote.

So why does housing cost so much in Ventura County? The reasons are well documented: the price of land, a lack of supply due to the recent recession, and the time it takes to permit and entitle housing projects, just to name a few. Because of

file:/1/C:/Users/cmdgarrett/AppData!Localffemp/XPgrpwise /56486845CT0%20MAINC... 11/16/2015 Page 6 of II

SOAR, we also require the location of new housing projects within existing urban boundaries.

Unfortunately this in-fill strategy for development faces two additional challenges. First, we have an aging infrastructure that requires projects to absorb some of the upgrade/replacement costs, and secondly, any project proposed within an existing urban setting means that the proposed location is near somebody else. In short, any proposed project must overcome public and political barriers as part of the entitlement process.

•• Citizens have long sought to engage in decisions affecting their way of life. The "Not in My Backyard" (NIMBY) phenomenon may not be new, but its more recent expression has become a special Hot fn My challenge in the development . process. When change 1s proposed m Jackva~d' a neighborhood, ~xisting resident~ 1 1• 1 1 may take a skeptical or even hostile approach to new developments. Developers, planners and municipal officials often find themselves in a defensive position, having to prove the benefits of a proposed new apartment, townhouse or supportive housing development.

What are the issues that NIMBY's usually assert when speaking out against projects in their neighborhoods?

• Increasing density in their neighborhood will cause too much traffic; • Increasing density in their neighborhood will strain public services and infrastructure; • Affordable housing and/or higher density housing spoils the character of the neighborhood; and, • Affordable or high-density housing in the neighborhood will mean more crime.

While data proves that the typical concerns raised by residents about infill projects for their neighborhoods are unfounded, NIMBYism is alive and flourishing in Ventura County. How do we overcome our resistance to in-fill and more dense urban development given the realities of our existing land use policies, and how can we move from not in my backyard to yes in my backyard? How do our elected officials acquire the political will to make land use decisions that are in the best long term interests of their communities, given the public outcry against policies of increased density and infill?

My breakout panel discussed the issues of building housing within existing parameters,

file:///C:/Users/cmdgarrett/AppOata/Locai/Temp/XPgrpwise/56486845CT0%20MAINC... 11 / 16/2015 Page 7 of 11

the "price we pay for paradise," and possible responses to NIMBYism. What can we do? First, communities can help build support for infill and redevelopment projects by making their objectives clear through various plans and policies as previously discussed; however, without continuing education and an open feedback loop, those policies can fall to the wayside with the next conflict. Local goverrunents can encourage a positive dialogue with commtmity groups by gathering influential members at key junctures throughout planning processes and development applications. It is important for local government outreach to address concerns related to infill and redevelopment while promoting the benefits to the neighborhood and the community as a whole.

The Ventura County Civic Alliance holds a set of core beliefs that guide its mission: regional stewardship, open dialogue, collaboration, evenhandedness, and community building and ~ decision making by consensus. We have a history • of bringing together residents and civic organizations to cooperatively explore options and find integrated solutions to complex economic, environmental, and social challenges of our region. It is the one organization dedicated to insuring that the public voice is an integral component of any political discourse that concerns our future and the maintenance of our quality of life.

As such, the Alliance is in a unique position to play a central role in first exploring the issue of public resistance to infill and density, and later to consider and recommend potential regional methodologies and action items in response to that resistance. The Center for Public Dialogue, a working group within the Alliance, has initiated an internal discussion on how best to begin this process. If you are interested in participating, please contact the Alliance at civicalliance.org

SOAR- A Fanner's Perspective

By Edgar Terry

"A well-understood concept in economics (envelope theorem) states that an outcome cannot be made better by the addition of constraints. Reducing their options does not help the owners of the land."

The above quote is from a study entitled Ventura County's Agricultural Future: Challenges and Opportunities, written by Bill Watkins, Chuck Maxey et.al. for

file :II IC :/Userslcmdgarrettl App Data/LocaliTemp/XPgrpwisel5 648684 5 CT0%20MAIN C... II I 1612 0 15 Page 8 of 11

the Hansen Trust in 2008. I think that it encapsulates in a single sentence why the Save Open-Space and Agricultural Resources (SOAR) initiative is not a benefit to agricultural landowners and growers.

In the mid to late 1990's when the SOAR Initiatives were being voted on throughout Ventura County, it was said that these initiatives would help growers have a more stable farming future in the county due to the fact that development would be constrained and , therefore, land values and rents would be more reflective of the underlying value of the crops being grown. Put simply, Speculative Value would be removed. On the surface this made sense to a majority of the voters in the county, that it would be a win-win for everyone. Growers would have land to farm and residents of the county would not see the urban sprawl that took over Los Angeles and Orange Counties.

The theory of restricting the development of land in favor of farming over a 15 to 20 year horizon, possibly longer, assumes the fact that the advocates in favor of those restrictions know with all certainty that agricultural practices, market participants, crops, regulatory bodies, taxing authorities, city and county planners and other interest groups are going to have the exact same vision(s) of local agriculture as those who promoted the initiatives in the first place. Agriculture, like any other industry, responds to the demands of the marketplace. Those demands mean that growers must always be looking for a strategic advantage in order to sell to a consolidating set of retailers who in turn sell to consumers who are price sensitive when it comes their food dollar.

When ordinances are passed to keep farmland in farming it does not necessarily mean that farmland will actually be farmed. For example, the current drought is ®= a case in point. Emergency Ordinance E was recently passed by the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency. The purpose of the ordinance is to reduce the over-drafting of certain aquifers by agricultural, municipal and industrial users. At a recent Association of Water Agencies Symposium I made the statement that this is really treading on the farmers' property rights. In certain aquifer locations, along with SOAR, the interplay between the overlying rights of the agricultural land owner and the appropriative rights of the M&l user represent a dual challenge for farmers. The SOAR initiative reduces the agricultural landowners' options because it compels them to have their land remain in agriculture while the emergency ordinance challenges the same landowners' overlying right to the water. In other words, on one hand you are prohibiting agricultural landowners from selling the land for most any other use without a vote of the people, and on the other hand you are telling them that there is not enough water to fully farm the land. So, what choices are there to mitigate risk if there is not enough water to farm and there is also no option value to the land? Then what is the value of the farmland with a constrained set of options and how will that impact the access to capital to continue farming? What if the regulatory entities have a different, long-term vision of water conservation and that vision is not aligned with the community desire to keep land in agriculture? For the agricultural landowner these questions lead to an "endless loop" scenario: you must farm, but you

Ventura County COULD VENTURA COUNTY AG aiftill'lh11tflll1we Economic Development Strategy BENEFIT FROM FOOD PROCESSING? ExecuUve Summary

EDC-VC blog: Posted on: August 7, 2015 by Bruce Stenslie

Ventura County is a national leader in food production. However, economic data generated through EDC-VC's recently completed Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy shows that the county's agriculture sector under-performs in such value-added components as food processing and distribution.

To explore whether the region could benefit from a more diversified food systems strategy, EDC-VC contracted with Applied Development Economics and the Hatamiya Group to study how such a strategy might help sustain the county's high-value agriculture sector.

The analysis will evaluate the feasibility and constraints of adding food hubs and more processing and distribution infrastructure, given the types and volumes of crops produced in the county.

One aspect of contemporary food systems that fuels EDC-VC's enthusiasm is the "farm to fork" movement. Consumers are increasingly interested in knowing where their food comes from.

With that in mind, EDC-VC is particularly eager to determine whether aggregating crop outputs from small growers might result in new market opportunities-locally and throughout the larger Los Angeles region.

Using a reasonable scenario for processing expansion, the analysis will calculate the potential for increased industry output, jobs and wages and long-term sustainability through a more diversified base.

The study is expected to be completed by November 2015. It is made possible through funding from the Morgan Family Foundation.

Dear Council Members: ClTY ~~M·lJ\GER'S OFFICE

I was very happy to get the Acorn last Thursday and read that the the Home Depot wants to build on their property, this time with the city's agreement. I hope the council can get it right this time! I am not a big fan of K Mart but it was very convenient to get garden plants, tools, and other things for the garden. Kitchen supplies were handy and toys for grandkids were easily obtained so close to home. A new Home Depot was a wonderful expectation for the people in this area. Yes, there was the Lumber City on this side but we have more then one restaurant so apparently restaurants are not denied pennits because of competition to other restaurants.

The Lumber City officials did a good hatchet job against the Home Depot! Why did we need another when there is already one only seven miles away? They never mentioned that they had a Lumber City three miles in the other direction on Kanan!

The "No growth" people cited traffic concerns-have you driven in our city from noon on and not be confronted with a lot of traffic? They complained of air quality for the child care facility that was built when the K Mart area was full of businesses and no complaints then! There needs to be a zone change, so what? When the auto group wanted a sign that goes against our sign policy, the rules could be bent. Their reasoning, so people can find them and a flashing, gaudy sign will immediately direct drivers to turn in and buy a new car immediately. How strange that more autos have been sold in the last two years without a sign then previously.

I have lived in this area since 1973 and seen remarkable growth! Previous councils have provided the Library, the Oaks, The Teen Center, The Goebel Center, the parks and soccer area. There have been many "no growth" groups during those years and I never agreed with them. There wasn't a sign on the 101 saying "You are not welcome in Thousand Oaks so don't plan to stay!" However, people do buy in the area and pay sales tax and property taxes but that isn't enough to keep the city financially stable. That is what businesses do and we have lost revenue for how many years with the Kmart property sitting empty and becoming an eye sore?

With the problem of water and rationing, is it wise to continue the 3 three story buildings that are the dream of a number of people? Where will the water come to satisfy that many more homes? Even if there is no grass or green area, a lot of water will be used in those homes for cooking, showers, flushing and washing clothes.

I have voted in every city election since 1973. My candidate wasn't always elected but the people spoke and majority wins. Just remember you were elected by the people. Represent them well!

As a resident of the City of Thousand Oaks my entire life I can not explain my disappointment in your street repair that was done this past year. My street Rexford Place was completely destroyed and is in the worst condition I can remember and we did not make the list of follow up repairs. I ask any of you to come to my house and see tor your self. 1153 Rexford Place. Not only is this new cap seal poor in quality at best it has degenerated. You can clearly see raised tire tracks in the pavement. You can see holes where stones have come out of the road surface. You can see the loose gravel left behind as the cap seal deteriorates. The street is tmsafe for kids and adults to walk on, ride bikes on, use walkers or knee scooters on.

My 78 year old mother in law lives with me and can not go on the street due to the chance that she will trip and fall. I can not go on the street following my surgery, I am riding a knee scooter, due to a chance of falling. My children can not ride scooters on the street because of the chance of falling.

I contacted you when the street was first finished and was told by your female inspector that she personally inspected my street, along with all the others, and it was within the acceptable range for our cities requirements. I disagree that a second rate street is not acceptable in this city.

I complained to the media then and was interviewed for an article in the Ventura County Star and I will be contacting them again.

I am reachable by cell phone at 805-657-5535. Come visit me at my home at 1153 Rexford Place.

Yvonne Brockwell SENT VIA EMAIL [email protected]

Dear Ms. Brockwell:

We are in receipt of your Public Records Request sent on November 6, 2015 regarding City of Thousand Oaks SWMP, List of Grants, and Lobbying Firm(s) sent to Scott Mitnick, City Manager and Jay Spurgin, Public Works Director. The City Clerk Department has prepared the following response.

The California Public Records Act (the Act) authorizes members of the general public the right to inspect and receive copies of existing records which have been reasonably identified by the requestor, and are not otherwise exempt from disclosure. In addition, the Act does not require the City to create new documents or lists for your convenience.

Your request is in bold, followed by the city's response:

I am having a difficult time locating our city's current storm water management plan. Could you please provide me with a link to the most current and complete document?

The last City Stormwater Management Plan was published in 1999 as required by our 1994 State stormwater permit. Subsequent permits in 2000, 2008 and 2010 have resulted in six distinct programs addressing key topics of concern to stormwater quality. This County-wide multi-agency cooperative effort is currently called the Ventura County Stormwater Quality Management Program (VCSQMP). The primary functions of the VCSQMP can be found at VCStormwater.org at: http://www. vcstormwater. org/index. php/prog rams/about-vcsq mp

Details of the VCSQMP can be found in the current (2010) State stormwater permit, located at: http://www. vcstormwater. org/index. php/reg u lations/our-ms4-perm it

l () ~ ll, "-;. () )' ~~ Brockwell - PRA Response Page 2

The VCSQMP also includes low impact development (LID} requirements set forth in the 2011 Tech Guidance Manual, which can be found at: http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/rwgcb4/water issues/programs/stormwater/municipal/ve ntura ms4NenturaTGMNentura%20Stormwater%20TGM%20Final%207 -13- 11.pdf

The Ventura County program is one of the most successful programs in the State and is recipient of achievement awards. The current State stormwater permit is scheduled to be renewed in 2016, and is expected to be similar to the recent permit issued to Los Angeles County. The new permit is expected to move stormwater compliance within Ventura County toward a watershed-wide basis, most likely through preparation of Enhanced Watershed Management Plans (EWMPs) and implementation of regional stormwater quality projects. The projects identified in the EWMPs may be eligible for Proposition 1 grant funds. In order to qualify for a Prop 1 grant, a Stormwater Resource Plan (SRP) must be prepared. The SRP will be started in early 2016.

Also, where may r view a list of grants which the city has applied for in the past 3 years? Could you please point me in the right direction for this information? It has been explained to me, by staff, that our city contracts with a group which lobbies on our behalf at Federal and State levels.

The City does not maintain a master list of every grant it seeks through every department. Therefore, City will not provide any list at this time. If you are seeking information for a specific grant the City may have made, please provide more details as to what you are seeking. Without narrowing your request, the City would expend an unreasonable amount of resources and time to seek information from a number of departments, and divisions within departments, who may have sought grant funding of some kind over the last three years.

The California Public Records Act does not require City to make such a broad search, however, in situations where the request is too broad, Government Code section 6253.1 requires the City to assist you in making a more focused and effective request that reasonably describes an identifiable record or records.

If you wish more information regarding grants the City may have applied for, please provide specific areas for focus. For example, are you seeking information pertaining to a grant request for funding in a particular area the City may be interested in addressing? Are you seeking grant documents from a particular State or Federal program?

Ludkt.;.ur0, L Brockwell - PRA Response Page 3

Also, could you provide me with the name(s) of the lobbying firm(s) our city contracts with in the application for grants?

The City contracts with two lobbyist. State lobbyist assist with legislation and our Federal lobbyist may assist is seeking federal grant opportunity or resources.

State Lobbyist Federal Lobbyist Joe A Gonsalves & Son Van Scoyoc Associates 925 L Street Suite 250 101 Constitution Ave NW Sacramento, CA 95814 Washington DC 20001

I can be reached at (805) 449-2165 or via email ([email protected]). Feel free to contact me to assist you with narrowing your grants data request. Feel free to address any future Public Records Requests to the City Clerk Department ([email protected]).

Have you been notified that Syrian refugees will be settled in Thousand Oaks? Governor Snyder of Michigan has called a moratorium on the settlement ofSytian refugees in Michigan until the Department of Homeland Security can be sure that adequate security procedures have been followed so that dangerous people are not settled in his state. Will you do the same for Thousand Oaks?

Sincerely,
