Home My WebLink AboutMinutes - March 26, 2002 SSCITY OF LODI INFORMAL INFORMATIONAL MEETING "SHIRTSLEEVE" SESSION CARNEGIE FORUM, 305 WEST PINE STREET TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 2002 An Informal Informational Meeting ("Shirtsleeve" Session) of the Lodi City Council was held Tuesday, March 26, 2002 commencing at 7:00 a.m. A. ROLL CALL Present: Council Members — Hitchcock, Howard, Land, Nakanishi (arrived at 7:05 a.m.), and Mayor Pennino Absent: Council Members — None Also Present: City Manager Flynn, City Attorney Hays, and City Clerk Blackston B. CITY COUNCIL CALENDAR UPDATE City Clerk Blackston reviewed the weekly calendar (filed). City Manager Flynn announced that Carlos Tobar, Transportation Manager, has accepted a position with the SMART San Joaquin Regional Transit District and will be leaving employment with the City of Lodi within a few weeks. Mr. Flynn also announced that Joel Harris, Purchasing Officer, has attained his Lifetime Certified Purchasing Manager certificate. He reported that beginning April 7, 2002 the Library will be open on Sundays. C. TOPIC(S) C-1 "Budget — Estimated Revenues" Finance Director McAthie distributed a 2001-03 Financial Plan and Summary (filed). She noted that columns entitled "2001-02 Requested Budget" and "2001-02 Difference" were added; however, no other numbers have changed in the summary report. Ms. McAthie explained that staff updates historical revenue trends, reviews policies, economics, and monitors legislation that may impact local revenue to help develop budget assumptions for estimated revenues. The current assumptions include conservative estimates that reflect no adverse impact from the state budget. An update will be done following the state budget revisions in May. The summary report reflects 12% for all three of the utility enterprise in -lieu figures. There has been no change in the Electric in -lieu, pending discussion on the Market Cost Adjustment at the April 2, 2002 Shirtsleeve Session. The property tax distribution remains the same as in prior years, i.e., General Fund is 50%, Capital Outlay General Fund 30%, and Library 20%. There are no new or increased taxes included in the projections. Ms. McAthie reported that staff is monitoring the following legislation that may impact City revenue: • AB1770 and SB1261 relate to motor vehicle in -lieu backfill. • AB1865 and AB2100 are property tax shifts. AB1865 incrementally taps the growth of the Educational Revenue Augmentation Fund (ERAF) by 20% per year beginning July 1, 2004, then increases by an inflationary factor. • AB2100 reduces ERAF growth to 10% per year for ten years beginning July 1, 2005. • AB680 is a land use sales tax and property revenue allocation and will redistribute sales tax growth among cities and counties in the Sacramento area. • SB910 and SB262 are housing element penalties which propose to shift local land use authority over housing elements to the state where they could cease local gas taxes or vehicle license fee (VLF) revenues as a method of enforcing a state plan reviewers opinion on local housing element. 0 S131 717 could impact the use of the City's White Slough property. Continued March 26, 2002 Council Member Land requested a copy of the Assembly and Senate Bills. Ms. McAthie reviewed the 2001-03 Financial Plan and Summary report as follows: Tax Revenues In the original 2000-01 budget, $20.6 million was estimated in total tax revenue. The actual amount as of June 30, 2001 was $22.1 million. Staff recommends increasing the current year budget by 4.3% (amounting to an additional $900,000) and an overall increase of 4.6% for 2002-03. Ms. McAthie noted that a recent Kiplinger report indicated that 2001 was a record year for home sales and refinancing. An additional $215,000 in property tax was received in 2001. In the current revenue report as of February, the City was at 59%, as compared to 55% of the revenue at the same time last year. Ten-year trends on property tax have increased by 2% each year, the five-year trend is 5%, and the last two years is 9%. Staff recommends increasing the property tax by 6% in the current year and 7% in the second year. An additional $278,000 was received in sales and use tax as of June 2001. It is anticipated that the City will receive an additional $400,000 in sales tax, amounting to a 4.8% increase, with a 6% increase next year. The ten-year trend on sales tax is 6%, the five-year trend is 7%, and the last two years has been 11 %. The public safety sales tax is projected to increase 3.4%. In the Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) the ten- and five-year trend shows an increase of 8% and the two-year trend is 13%. Council Member Howard referred to a letter prepared by City Attorney Hays on the subject of the TOT and noted that Council may need to consider whether to keep it at 9%. City Attorney Hays advised that Council consider the matter in a closed session meeting. Ms. McAthie stated that the waste removal franchise is currently at 60%, as compared to 50% the same time last year. Staff recommends flat lining it to the same amount received as of June 30, 2001. Twelve percent will be taken on the in -lieu franchises. The real property transfer tax will be flat lined. Licenses and Permits $1.4 million was estimated in 2000-01, with an additional $170,000 received. Staff recommends flat lining it for the current year, which would increase the original estimate for the current year by $110,000. In the second year, staff recommends an increase of 3.75%, amounting to $59,000. There would be a small increase in the business license tax, with the bulk of the remaining increase from various types of permits. The trend in building permits over the last ten years shows an increase of 8.2%, with a five-year trend of 9.4%, and two-year trend of 14.35%. The value of the permits over the last ten years has increased 23.69%, a 33% increase over five years, and a 20% increase over the last two years. Staff recommends increasing the building permits by 7%, with the rest flat lined to the June 30, 2001 figure. Fines and Forfeitures Staff estimated $900,000 for 2000-01; however, $200,000 less was received. Ms. McAthie attributed this to using a different method of calculating late charges on utility bills and being more aggressive in collections. She recommended flat lining fines and forfeitures. Investment/Property Revenues $6 million was estimated in 2000-01 and $6.4 million was received. Staff recommends increasing the amount to $5 million. She noted that the original estimate for the current year was $4 million, and it is recommended that it be flat lined for the second year. In reply to Council Member Nakanishi, Ms. McAthie and Mr. Flynn indicated that the amount of investment/property revenue received throughout the year depends on the cash levels available for investment, which ranges from $18 to $30 million. 2 Continued March 26, 2002 Revenue from Others Measure K reimbursements was estimated at $3 million in 2000-01. The revenue received in this area are reimbursements for work done over multiple years. This year staff will book the estimated revenues when electronic billings for reimbursements are done. Mayor Pennino remarked that staff has done an excellent job of obtaining grants, noting that it represents 12% to 15% of the City's income. Referencing Line 71, Ms. McAthie explained that the $700,000 represents the City being super funded for Miscellaneous Employees. Although the City had approximately $300,000 it was able to use, it was not considered super funded this year. In regard to the PERS super fund issue, Mayor Pennino asked that a comparison be done between the current status and two years ago when the issue was originally discussed. Service Fees and Charges Public safety came in at $16,000 more than was estimated in the prior year. In answer to Council inquiries, Ms. McAthie reported that it was due to underestimating the amount of towing that would be done. She explained that this is related to vehicle abatement. The City does not tow for extended parking violations. Staff recommends that the $120,000 figure be flat lined for the next two years. Council Member Nakanishi asked what account the $8,000 Grape Festival grounds security was deposited in. Ms. McAthie replied that she would research this and respond back. Electric Operating Revenue Ms. McAthie reported that discussions are now underway regarding accounting and projections for Electric operating revenue. This issue is scheduled for the April 2, 2002 Shirtsleeve Session. In reply to Council Member Nakanishi, Electric Utility Director Vallow explained that revenues are driven by expenses and indicated that it would be difficult to obtain total amounts until all expenses have been projected. Sewer and Water Operating Revenues Ms. McAthie reported that numbers for sewer and water operating revenues are currently being discussed with Public Works. In answer to Mayor Pro Tempore Hitchcock, she explained that "all others" pertain to residential and commercial accounts. Transit Fees Staff recommends that transit fees be flat lined. In reply to Mayor Pennino, Ms. McAthie stated that she would report back on the Farebox recovery amount. Park and Recreation Fees Revenue for park and recreation fees decreased by $100,000 from the 2000-01 estimate. Staff recommends flat lining the revenue to be in line with actuals. A $30,000 decrease is projected in 2001-02. Community Center Fees Ms. McAthie stated that staff is working with the Community Center Director to estimate the box office figures. She explained that the box office was placed into a trust account; however, it should be under revenue and expenditure. "Other fees" are classes that the Community Center offers. Continued March 26, 2002 Community Development Fees An additional $90,000 was received in Community Development fees over what was estimated for 2000-01. Staff recommends flat lining the fees for the current year, and in the following year to be more in line with the actuals for 2001. Public Works Engineering Fees Staff does not recommend any changes to the original estimates under this category. Ms. McAthie attributed the increase in 2000-01 to Development Impact Fees and noted that the fees come in only as development is done. Administrative Fees Staff recommends no change from the original estimate on Administrative Fees. Ms. McAthie explained that these are utility connections and returned check charges. Benefit and Insurance Fees The major change under this category is indicated on line 139. Retiree medical premiums are now deducted from their PERS check, so this revenue will no longer be coming in to the City. Other Revenue Revenue No Other Category (NOC) was estimated at $285,000 for 2000-01 and $1.1 million was received. From this amount, $225,000 was for the DBCP, $140,000 was for the septic dump charge, $300,000 was due to an accounting change related to Workers Compensation, $273,000 was a one time grant for transit, and $143,000 was a reimbursement from Apache Plastic. Staff recommends leaving the estimate unchanged from the 2001-02 amount, other than an increase in Revenue NOC for quarterly reimbursements for the Veterans Mall. Line 155 is the Library private sector trust. City Manager Flynn noted that revenues as well as expenses have come in higher than anticipated. Ms. McAthie reviewed a report entitled Summary by Different Funds (filed) and stated that in the actuals, the additional 6% revenue received amounted to $5.5 million. Staff's original estimate for 2001-02 was a little over $103 million. A 2% increase is projected for just over $105 million. The following year staff anticipates a 13% increase, subject to upcoming meetings with Public Works and Electric Utility. Mayor Pro Tempore Hitchcock requested a copy of the summary report. Ms. McAthie reviewed upcoming target dates related to the budget process. D. COMMENTS BY THE PUBLIC ON NON -AGENDA ITEMS None. E. ADJOURNMENT No action was taken by the City Council.

After that deadline, it takes a certain amount of time for legislation to come into print. All legislation is now in print and League staff has been analyzing this year's legislation that will have an impact on city government. Based on that analysis, this list was prepared to identify the 2002 League Legislative Priorities. Throughout the session most of the League's resources will be directed at the legislation on this list. Undoubtedly legislation will change during the session and the list may grow or shrink depending on those changes. The list will be updated throughout the session. With regard to the priorities adopted by the League Board of Directors, both the state budget bill and two key housing bills are on this list. Both of these issues are the Board's priorities for 2002. We hope this priority list proves helpful in focusing your efforts in city hall on the key issues for the session. Don't forget there are literally thousands of other bills in which the League will be involved to some extent and we encourage you to have some- one in city hall examining legislation that may have a direct effect on your city. for more, seepage 2. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . LEAGUE SUPPORTS STAY REQUEST ON LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUNICIPAL STORM WATER PERMIT The League has sent a letter to the State Water Resources Control Board supporting a request by numerous cities for a stay of the Los Angeles County municipal storm water NPDES permit. The letter, which supports the actions of cities in Los Angeles County who are co-permitees, asks the Board to grant the stay because of the statewide implications of the permit. for more, see page 4. Page 5 • LEGISLATIVE BILL SUMMARIES 2002 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES from page 1 ........ 6 6 • • • ........... • • • • This will be a difficult session, especially as it relates to the state budget process. The deficit is huge and it is real. Among Legislators and legisla- tive staff, the "tone" is beginning to change on the issue of local governments receiving cuts. Many are now saying that local governments should shoulder their share of the state deficit. Stay vigilant! Revenue and Taxation AB 1777 (Cardenas); SB 1261 (Peace). 2002-03 Budget. The escalating concern over budget deficits in the current year (2001-02) and continuing revenue deterioration in the next budget cycle put local government revenues at risk in this year's state budget process. The governor and many legislators have agreed not to balance the budget on the backs of local govern- ment. However, comments that all levels of government must share the burden in this budget crisis mean cities should remain on full alert during the current budget deliberations. The Vehicle License Fee (VLF) backfill of $4 billion raises the greatest concern. The first challenge to the governor's commitment to protect local revenues will come with the May Budget Revision. -- Position: Oppose Any Cuts to City Govern- ment. AB 1865 (Canciamilla); AB 2100 (Simitian). Property Tax Shifts. Limitation. Both bills limit the shift of property taxes to school districts under the Educational Revenue Augmentation Funds (ERAF) provisions enacted in the early 1990's. AB 1865 incrementally caps the growth of ERAF by 20% per year starting on or after July 1, 2004. Once the growth cap is fully implemented, the ERAF share is allowed to in- crease by an inflation factor. AB 2100 reduces the ERAF growth at 10% per year for 10 years starting July 1, 2005. Position: Support. <_ AB 680 (Steinberg). Land Use. Sales Tax and Property Tax Revenue Allocation. AB 680 proposes to redistribute sales tax growth among cities and counties in the Sacramento region, including EI Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties. The redistribution for - mula would reallocate growth with one-third distributed on a situs basis, one-third on a popu- lation basis, and one-third on regional needs related to housing and infill targets. In addition, a regional impact fee was added to the bill to fund a Sacramento Regional Open Space and Recreation Conservancy. The bill sets a dangerous precedent by allowing the state to assert its control over the distribution of local Bradley - Burns sales taxes. Local sales tax could then become the same pawn to the state budget crisis as the ERAF property tax shift and the VLF back- fill. Position: Oppose. Transportation, Public Works and Tele- communications SB 1262 (Torlakson). Streets and High- ways. Local Transportation Capital Improve- ment Projects. This bill requires that not less than 10 percent of the local and regional State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) capital funds be used for transportation incentive grants to cities and counties that promote hous- ing and development patterns with higher densi- ties and greater proximity to jobs, schools and businesses. The bill establishes conditions and terms for awarding the grants, "grandfathers" any existing equivalent grant program and makes the provisions applicable in all counties with a popula- tion over 200,000. The grant provisions would Our Mission Restore and protect local control for cities through education and advocacy to enhance the quality of life for all Californians. PAGE 2/PRIORITY FOCUS Visit the League's Official Web Site--www.cacities.org 2002 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES from page 2•• .......................... become effective with the 2004 STIP cycle and continue through December 31, 2010. Position: Seeking Amendments. AB 2275 (Aanestad). Transportation. The California Transportation Commission is required to program interregional and regional transportation capital improvement projects through the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Regional transportation planning agencies and county transportation commissions are required to adopt and submit a 5 -year regional transportation improvement program to the commission and the Department of Transportation for consideration to be included in the STIP. This bill authorizes the regional transportation improvement program to include projects for the rehabilitation of local streets and roads in counties meeting certain conditions. Those conditions are: 1) any county that has a population of less than 50,000; 2) any county that has no project study reports for state highway projects available in order to allow programming of state highway projects at the time the regional transportation improvement program is due to be adopted; and 3) any county, regardless of its population, but only with respect to that amount of revenue that is projected in the fund estimate adopted by the California Transpor- tation Commission and which is to be added to the county share from the sales tax on gasoline made available by the recently adopted Proposi- tion 42. Position: Seeking Amendments. Housing and Land Use SB 910, SB 262 (Dunn). Housing Element Penalties. The League will oppose any efforts to resurrect SB 910 (Dunn) or SB 262 (Dunn), as currently drafted, which propose to shift local land use authority over housing elements to the state, and seize local gas taxes or vehicle license fee revenues as a method of enforcing a state plan reviewer's opinion of a local housing element. Position: Oppose. AB 2863 (Longville). Housing Element Reform. The League supports comprehensive housing element reform, in accordance with the principles contained in AB 2863 (Longville). In brief, those principles are: (1) address issues involving the development of regional housing need projections; (2) resolve issues and problems associated with the distribution of regional hous- ing needs within a council of governments; (3) clarify and improve the housing element review process; (4) develop a neutral dispute resolution process and fair enforcement alternatives to deal with disputes over questions of compliance; (5) develop fiscal tools and incentives to assist local governments in their efforts to encourage housing and finance the infrastructure to support housing, as well as establish an ongoing state commitment to funding affordable housing; (6) require state laws and policies that affect housing and land use to be internally consistent; and (7) establish additional legal protections to local agencies that approve affordable housing and that establish local pro -active affordable housing policies. Position: Support. AB 1227 (Burton); AB 1927 (Kehoe). Housing and Infrastructure Bonds. The League supports legislation that seeks to provide addi- tional tools to local governments to address housing and infrastructure needs, such as AB 1227; AB 1927, that proposes a $6 billion bond for grants to upgrade local infrastructure; and a yet -to -be -identified vehicle for the $12 billion school bond proposal. Environmental Legislation AB 2351 (Canciamilla). Water Quality. Minimum Mandatory Penalties. Co-sponsored by the League and the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA), this bill would make changes to existing law that requires regional water quality control boards to impose mandatory penalties for violations of waste discharge per- mits. Position: Support. Visit the League's Official Web Site- -www.caci ti es.org PRIORITY FOCUS/PAGE 3 2002 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES from page 3.•..• ........................ Various Water Quality and Stormwater- Related Bills. This year a large number of bills have been introduced related to stormwater and water quality. At this time, most of them are spot bills; however, as the bills evolve, the League will be engaged. Position: No Position Now, but Actively Engaged in Negotiations on Legislation. Public Safety AB 669 (Hertzberg). 311 Non -emergency Telephone System. This bill would authorize Public Safety Answering Points to establish non- emergency telephone numbering systems (i.e., 311), and authorizes the Department of General Services to apply a surcharge up to 1/4 of 1% to cover the costs. Position: Support. AB 2596 (Cardoza). Emergency Telephone Users Surcharge. This bill would provide that funds in the State Emergency Telephone Account may not be used to satisfy any debt, obligation, lien, pledge, or any other encumbrance, except as specified in the bill. Also, the bill specifies addi- tional uses for which these funds may be appropri- ated, such as equipment upgrades for call takers and dispatchers, and infrastructure needed to allow mobile callers to directly access the appro- priate public safety agency. Position: Support. SB 1350 (McPherson, Burton). Emergency Services. Terrorism. This bill would require the State Office of Emergency Services (OES) to develop specified training related to terrorism preparedness and response. The bill would require training to take place by September 11, 2002. Position: Support. Employees Relations/Public Records AB 1122 (Corbett) and SB 657 (Scott). Taxation. Federal Conformity. These bills would provide full federal conformity to EGTRRA pension provisions. Position: Support AB 2889 (Shelley). Agency Shop Agree- ments. This measure would require agency shop agreements for local agency bargaining units without any vote or affirmation by employee organizations for local agency bargaining units. It eliminates the local collective bargaining and agency shop elections process. Position: Oppose SCA 7 (Burton). Access to Government Information. This bill would create greater access to public records and public meetings without safeguarding local agencies from being able to determine if disclosing information would have serious harmful impacts on the public. Position: Oppose Unless Amended. PERMIT from pagel ........... • • The League's letter states: "A stay of the provisions of the NPDES Permit that is before you should be granted for all parties to the permit, not to just those parties that petitioned for the stay. We request that the permit be stayed until such time as a properly crafted and legally appropriate permit can be developed. Requiring compliance with a defective permit which could become the basis for similar permits issued by other regional boards that appears to infringe on local land use authority, that violates the requirements of CEQA, and that imposes undue and unnecessary liability and responsibility on municipalities, in conflict with requirements of the Clean Water Act, would result in substantial harm to the public and municipali- ties throughout the state, with no perceived benefit to the public." A copy of the League's complete letter is available on the League's Website: www.cacities.org; select "Legislative Advocacy' in the sidebar; select "Legislative Tracking;" in the sidebar select "Issues;" then select "Environmen- tal Quality"; it will be listed as: "Stormwater Permit Letter."

AB 1770 requires courts to consider a deposit made by the plaintiff with the State Treasury to cover the probable compensation to be awarded to the defendant in an eminent domain proceeding. Additionally, AB 1770 states that in a trial of the issue of compensation, an appraisal report, written statement and summary of an appraisal, or other statement made in connection with a deposit or withdrawal of a deposit of probable compensation may not be considered to be an admission of any party. Existing law allows these items to be considered an admission by a party. Staff: Natasha Fooman, Status: AsJud, Position: Review and Comment. AB 1839 (Campbell). Indemnity: Public Agency. AB 1839 Authorizes a public agency to require that an agreement or contract made with a design professional include a provision to in- demnify the public agency for negligence or willful misconduct of the design professional. This would apply to agreements or contracts with a design professional entered into on or after January 1, 2003. Normally an indemnity tries to protect a public agency from the accusation of any liability on its part to avoid being drawn into the lawsuit. AB 1839 changes the existing indemnity law to reflect the normal tort rule in effect eliminating - WrdA1 11 U1111-wFe" Legislative the indemnity for public agencies.

AB 2333 authorizes withholding funds made available for transportation capital improvement projects relating to highway and rail transit that are used for interregional improvements from Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties within the Southern California Associa- tion of Government'sjurisdiction, if that county is not consistent with the aviation element of the long range plan developed by the association. Additionally, AB 2333 authorizes the Southern California Regional Airport Authority to review the implementation plan of each commercial airport in these counties to determine whether the airport is in compliance or is taking necessary steps to achieve compliance with the Regional Transporta- tion Plan, The League is concerned about this bill because it assesses penalties on conformity to a document used only for planning purposes and could set a very dangerous precedent. Opponents state that AB 2333 takes away local control and penalizes cities and counties for not conforming to something that is meant to guide long-range planning. Regional Transportation Pians are not designed to force cities and counties to build or not build what is contained in them, rather they are meant to guide transportation improvements Action Days May 15-16, 2002 1 Sacramento, California Sheraton Grand Hotel Watch your mail for registration materials and look for updates in future issues of Priority Focus.

SB 1466 Provides that any entity that enters into a labor contract for construction or janitorial services when the entity knows or should know that the contract does not provide funds sufficient to allow the contractor to comply with all labor laws and regulations, is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to civil penalties. Additionally, SB 1466 establishes a rebuttable presumption that the entity entering into a contract for labor or services does not violate the provisions of this bill if the contract contains comprehensive information about the contractor and its workforce. We have concerns regarding SB 1466 for two reasons. The first is that the rebut- table presumption would be extremely difficult for a public agency to successfully argue. Secondly, SB 1446 exposes public agencies to civil and criminal penalties and undermines an agency's confidence in determining the lowest responsible bidder.

AB 1927 enacts the Neigh- borhood Infrastructure Bond Act of 2002, which, if adopted, would authorize the issuance of $6 billion in general obligation bonds to finance grants for local infrastructure needs. In brief, the funding is proposed to be divided as follows: $2.5 billion for neighborhood residential infra- structure needs; $1.5 billion for neighborhood commercial infrastructure needs; $1 billion for infrastructure needs related to transit -oriented development; $500 million for infrastructure related to infill development; and $500 million for infrastructure related to mixed-use projects. AB 1927 has a broad definition of "existing infra- structure needs." The League supports this measure based on existing policy to support new funding measures to assist local government efforts to upgrade existing infrastructure, and is consistent with the past "smart growth" principles adopted by the League. The stiff competition in the Legislature among various proposed general obligation bond mea- sures (school, housing, water, high-speed rail) for the November 2002 ballot, make the prospects for this measure somewhat of a long shot. However, even if this bill fails to make the 2002 ballot, it could always be placed on a future ballot and helps to build attention in the Legislature to the problems cities face in upgrading local infrastruc- ture.

SB 1243 requires the Metropolitan Transportation Commission to meet with the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) to conduct a study on the feasibility of merging the functions of the commission and those of ABAG into a new regional government commission. The two organizations would need to make a. report to the Legislature no later than January 1, 2004. By increasing the duties of a local agency, the bill would impose a state -mandated local program.

Under existing law, upon approval of the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), a city may annex non- contiguous territory not exceeding 300 acres located in the same county that the city owns and uses for municipal purposes. If, after the annex - PAGE 6/PRIORITY FOCUS Visit the League's Official Web Site--www.cacities.org Legislative Bill Action ................................................................ ation, the city sells all or part of that territory, the territory no longer owned by the city ceases to be part of the city. This measure would pro- vide that territory annexed in this manner that is subsequently leased by the city for non -municipal uses shall cease to be part of the city. According to the author's office, this measure originates with the author's concerns with an issue involving the City of Lodi. However, all cities are encouraged to carefully review SB 1717 with your city attorney to determine its potential impact on your community. Many cities own land outside of their boundaries for municipal airports, sewage plants, water reservoirs, and other municipal uses. Lands adjacent to runways may be leased to private businesses, etc. Furthermore, the bill appears to apply retroactively, and not to leases entered into after the effective date of the bill.

AB 2351 revises the Mandatory Minimum Penalty (MMP) provisions of the Water Code to ensure that municipalities and other NPDES-permit holders are not unfairly penalized for violations that could not have been prevented and have minimal or no effect on water quality. AB 2351 is co-sponsored by the League of Califor- nia Cities and the California Association of Sanita- tion Agencies (CASA). In the past, occasional violations of NPDES permits carried penalties only if there was a public health or water quality impact, or if the violation represented a systemic problem at the wastewater treatment plant. SB 709, or the Clean Water Enforcement and Pollution Prevention Act of 1999, became law on January 1, 2000. The law requires that the regional water quality control boards assess penalties for specified violations; the regional boards do not have any discretion. There are effluent limitations in many permits that cannot be met 100 percent of the time, and certain violations that do not pose a public health or environmental threat. Regional board officials have acknowledged that many of the financial penalties for permit violations are being imposed only to comply with the mandatory minimum penalty law, and that these discharges have little or no water quality impact. Many local public agencies have been hit with sizeable mandatory penalties. AB 2351 would maintain mandatory penalties for most violations, but allow exceptions where the imposition of penalties would be unfair or overly burdensome. (It should be noted that because the existing mandatory minimum penalty law does not apply to storm water permits, AB 2351 does not apply to storm water permits.) The League, CASA and the author's office have met with representatives of the Water Board, industry and environmental groups to discuss the technical and policy aspects of this bill. In response, the author is considering several amend- ments. Staff: Yvonne Hunter, Status: AsEnvSafe&ToxMat, Position: Support/Co-spon- sor. PUBLIC SAFETY AB 2133 (Goldberg). Law Enforcement.

Sponsored by the City of Santa Rosa, SB 1807 lowers the threshold of proof from "clear and convincing" to "prepon- derance" of evidence as the threshold of evidence needed to secure a court order to prevent the return of a weapon seized by a peace officer at the scene of a domestic violence arrest. When a peace officer makes a domestic violence arrest, he or she is required to seize any dangerous weapon that is in full view. Within 30 days, the Penal Code requires the seized weapon be returned to the arrestee unless the city attorney or county counsel petition the court for an order to destroy the weapon and the court agrees that there is "clear and convincing" evidence that returning the weapon will endanger the victim. Despite the danger, few cities or counties are able to secure court orders for the destruction of weapons based on the "clear and convincing" evidence burden.
