Colin Coffey and Ayn Wieskamp) FROM: Robert E. Doyle, General Manager Erich Pfuehler, Government Affairs Manager SUBJECT: Board Legislative Committee Meeting WHEN: Friday, July 20, 2018 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 2329 – Special Districts Board of Directors Compensation (Obernote R-Big Bear Lake) Assembly Member Obernote’s bill creates an amendment to Section 5536 of the Public Resources Code to state if a Board Member participates in more than five meetings per month a written policy must be adopted by the Board starting January 1, 2019. More than five meetings will continue to be possible, it will just have to be justified and transparent in a public forum as to why they are needed. The District is permitted, in existing Public Resources Code, a max of 10 meetings. Originally, this bill was an expansion of the number of meetings Board Members of certain district types can be compensated for. While this bill, in most cases, still expands the number of meetings Board Members are eligible to be compensated for, the Legislature is asking there be additional transparency. There is no reduction in the number of meetings Board Members can attend, only an expansion. It will create more paperwork for the District, but not likely to fundamentally change meeting policy. Staff Recommendation: Support 2. AB 2470 – Invasive Species Fund (Grayson D-Concord) Assembly Member Grayson’s bill establishes an Invasive Species Fund (ISF), to be appropriated by the legislature, to help (among other things): • Prevent the introduction of invasive species. • Detect, control and eradicate invasive species. • Develop statewide education, outreach and branding of invasive species. Projects are recommended by the California Invasive Species Advisory Committee (CISAC) which the legislation codifies. The 19 CISAC members are largely selected from state agencies. The members are appointed by the Invasive Species Council of California (ISCC) which is also codified by this legislation. The ISCC is an interagency council that coordinates activities relating to invasive species. The ISCC is chaired by the secretary of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) and vice-chaired by the secretary of the 1 California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) and includes the secretaries of the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA), California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA), the California Health and Human Services Agency (CHHA) and the Office of Emergency Services. The ISF monies are distributed to three categories: 1. 60% to eligible weed management areas or county agricultural commissions for the control and abatement of noxious and invasive weeds according to an approved integrated weed management plan. 2. 20% toward research on the biology, ecology or management of noxious and invasive weeds. These monies shall be made available to qualified research applicants through a grant program administered by the department. 3. 20% for developing new control strategies, biological control agents, public and private workshops and weed mapping. The Author’s staff believes the District is eligible for funding under at least categories two and three. The legislation is sponsored by the California Association of Nurseries and Garden Centers and the California Invasive Plant Council. It is supported by Friends of Alhambra Creek, Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, and Sonoma County Agriculture Preservation and Open Space District, among others. Staff Recommendation: Support 3. ACR 248 – Parks Make Life Better! Month (Garcia D-Coachella) Assembly Member Eduardo Garcia introduced legislation to declare July 2018, “Parks Make Life Better!” Month. The resolution recognizes the important role parks play in California’s communities, in reducing obesity and increasing physical activity, and the significance of the $92 billion outdoor industry. The resolution is supported by the California Park and Recreation Society. Staff recommendation: Support 4. SB 1072 – Regional Climate Collaborative Program Grants (Leyva D-Chino) Assembly Member Leyva’s legislation establishes the Regional Climate Collaborative Program to be administered by the Strategic Growth Council (SGC) to assist disadvantaged and low- income communities to mitigate for and adapt to a changing climate. The program would authorize the SGC to award grants to collaboratives for a variety of local capacity building activities. It also requires state agencies or departments to target funds to under resourced communities. Local governments can be part of the collaborative. The bill is sponsored by the Trust for Public Land and The Greenlining Institute. It is supported by the California League of Conservation Voters, California Park & Recreation Society, California State Parks Foundation and Richmond Trees, among others. The District has supported in concept, but is seeking formal support approval by the Board. Staff recommendation: Support 2 B. OTHER MATTERS 1. Update on SB 1316 – Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area Alameda-Tesla Expansion Area (Glazer D-Orinda) The District is supporting Senator Glazer’s effort to authorize the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to dispose of the “Alameda-Tesla Expansion Area” to permanently preserve the land for conservation purposes. The original language of the bill would authorize the Director of General Services to transfer the land to a local agency for less than fair market value if it is for the purpose of creating a park or open space. Assembly Member Susan Eggman D-Stockton is seeking to set the floor for the transfer of the property at $9 million. That is the number the OHV lobby claim they need to recoup all costs associated with the Alameda-Tesla property. There is some concern about whether the property has been properly appraised to justify the $9 million figure. The District has proposed to add a line after the $9 million figure which states, “provided that or subject to an independent appraisal of the property supports that value.” 2. Update on AB 2137 – Regional Parks and Open Space District General Manager Powers (Mayes R- Yucca Valley) AB 2137 has been amended to broaden the scope beyond just Riverside Park and Open Space District. It now makes $50,000 the limit by which the general manager of any park or open space district can authorize without needing direct board approval. It also allows a district, by board action, to increase the amount by which the general manager may bind the district above the $50,000 by up to 2% annually above the prior year’s limit. While the Park District supported the original intent of the bill, the 2% annual increase in the limit has a direct impact on the Park District.

    TRIP Snap Poll XII January 2020 Teaching, Research & International Policy (TRIP) Project Global Research Institute (GRI) https://trip.wm.edu/home Principal Investigators: Susan Peterson, William & Mary Ryan Powers, University of Georgia Michael J. Tierney, William & Mary Data Contacts: Eric Parajon or Emily Jackson Phone: (757) 221-1466 Email: i [email protected] Methodology: We attempted to contact all international relations (IR) scholars in the U.S. We define IR scholars as individuals who are employed at a college or university in a political science department or professional school and who teach or conduct research on issues that cross international borders. Of the 4,752 scholars across the U.S. that we contacted, 971 responded. The resulting response rate is approximately 20.43 percent. The poll was open 10/30/2019-12/14/2019. Our sample is roughly similar to the broader International Relations scholar population in terms of gender, academic rank and university type. Our sample includes a higher percentage of men and a higher percentage of tenured and tenure track faculty than the overall scholar population. Introduction By Emily Jackson, Eric Parajon, Susan Peterson, Ryan Powers, and Michael J. Tierney We are pleased to share the results of the 12th Teaching, Research and International Policy (TRIP) Snap Poll, fielded with the support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Our polls provide real-time data in the wake of significant policy proposals, during international crises, and on emerging foreign policy debates. In this poll, we asked questions on the 2020 Presidential Election, President Trump’s foreign policy actions, and impeachment.
