BACKGROUND In June 1989, the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission (LACTC) sent to the various cities in the county a draft expenditure plan for revenues which would be generated by a possible 1/2 cent sales tax. The proposed plan identifies funding for local streets, highways and transit related purposes. It has been determined that new street, highway and transportation improvements of at least $7.5 billion are needed for cities and unincorporated areas in Los Angeles County. Such expenditures cannot be financed by the state of California and the federal government alone. Local jurisdictions must develop and implement funding programs to finance needed improvements. Further, Los ,..z. SEP 2 6 1989 . . . . Angeles County may forfeit as much as $1 billion in new revenues from the state generated by a proposed gas tax increase (over a 10 year period) because local jurisdictions may not be able to match the state funds available for highway, street and road improvements. If the Gridlock ballot measure is successful, a Los Angeles County Gridlock Prevention Fund will be created to supplement current transportation funds as follows: 25% of revenues will be used for freeway improvements such as new freeway lanes, interchange improvements, transitways and carpool lanes. 30% of revenues will be used to improve street and highway system management such as: tow service patrols, geographically distributed emergency response teams and computerized street traffic signals. 30% of revenues will be used by cities and counties to improve road conditions by repairing, operating and maintaining all public streets and traffic signals. 15% of revenues will be used to provide additional capital funds for commuter rail. The annual appropriations limit for the Gridlock Prevention Fund would be set at $2.173 billion. Funds will be allocated to cities based 50% on current population and 50% on the square yards of publicly maintained streets and roads. It is estimated that Santa Monica's share of the funds will be $1,121,971 for the first year. The Gridlock Ordinance further requires that the funds be spent within 3 years of receipt or they must be returned to be reallocated to other jurisdictions. . . Other items of importance to the City from the Gridlock Ordinance are: 1. The freeway portion of the funds (25%) includes the following projects: Pacific Coast Highway - Adding a lane between Santa Monica and Malibu and installing pedestrian undercrossings; Santa Monica Freeway Extending the Smart Corridor Demonstration Project to Santa Monica. 2. Right of way acquisition costs for commuter rail on corridors where track exists would be funded. The purchase of the Exposition line right-of-way would be an eligible use of the new tax funds but the actual construction of the line would not qualify. 3. Cities which successfully apply for funds from the street and freeway system management portion of the new tax (30%) must agree to implement TSM measures identified by the SCAQMD, including parking restrictions on major arterials during commute hours. LACTC now requests that local jurisdictions approve the final expenditure plan by resolution. The resolution indicates the City's approval of the expenditure plan and requests that the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors designate the LACTC as the transportation sales tax authority. According to state law, once resolutions have been adopted by a majority of the cities representing a majority of the population in the county, and by the Board of Supervisors, the sales tax issue can be placed on the ballot for voter approval. LACTC will determine in November whether to request that the County place the measure on the ballot in 1990. BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT There is no budget/ fiscal impact to the Ci ty as a result of approving this resolution. . . RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City council adopt the attached resolution which approves the LACTC's "Fight Gridlock" Ordinance and Expenditure Plan and urges the Los Angeles county Board of Supervisors to designate the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission as the Los Angeles County Local Transportation Authority.

RESOLUTION NO. - A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA APPROVING THE FIGHT GRIDLOCK ORDINANCE AND EXPENDITURE PLAN WHEREAS, maintaining and improving the operation of our aging and deteriorating transportation system is essential to preserving our standard of living and economic vitality and current revenues are not sufficient to meet current and future needs; and WHEREAS, new street, highway, and transportation improvements of at least an additional $7.5 billion are needed for cities and unincorporated areas in Los Angeles County; and WHEREAS, approval of a one-half cent sales tax increase would generate enough revenue to finance essential transportation projects contained in the Fight Gridlock Plan; and WHEREAS, the State of California and the federal government alone cannot solve the transportation problems in Los Angeles County and local jurisdictions must develop and implement new local funding programs; and WHEREAS, Los Angeles County may forfeit as much as $1 billion over a ten-year period in new revenues generated by the proposed gas tax increase because local jurisdictions will not be able to match state funds available for highways, streets and roads; and WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission has developed a countywide consensus on the essential projects to adquately deal with current and anticipated traffic congestion and a proposed Fight Gridlock Ordinance and Expenditure . . Plan to fund the implementation of these essential projects; and WHEREAS, the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission is requesting the City of Santa Monica to support the the Fight Gridlock Ordinance and Expenditure Plan, NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Monica approves of the Fight Gridlock Ordinance and Expenditure Plan of the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission. SECTION 2. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is strongly urged to designate the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission as the Los Angeles County Local Transportation Authority. SECTION 3.

INTRODUCTION This report requests that the City Council adopt a resolution endorsing the Board of Supervisors' request that the Federal Government reallocate Federal anti-drug enforcement resources to Los Angeles County. The Board asked that all cities in the County adopt a resolution which recognizes that the area has a major drug problem and needs additional Federal support. BACKGROUND Los Angeles County has become a major drug importation and transshipment center for the United states with massive amounts of cocaine and Mexican heroin flowing into the area. It is also the principal manufacturing and exportation center for P.C.P. and crack furnished by Los Angeles street gangs, and the money laundering capitol of the United states for South American and Mexican drug traffickers. The current Federal resource allocation for drug investigation and enforcement agencies assumes that the East coast, - 1 - ~-l AUG 0 8 1989 . . particularly Miami and New York, is the major drug center of the United States. Unfortunately, the West coast is now competitive as a major drug center, particularly Los Angeles County. The need for personnel, technology and funding to meet the drug crisis and its related violence in the County is clear. The dramatic rise in drug trafficking and abuse has severely overburdened the justice and health care systems, as evidenced by the growing numbers of arrests, drug seizures, emergency room episodes and deaths. staff recommends that Council support the Board in the form of a resolution which urges the Federal Government to: 1. Reallocate resources, inclUding personnel, technology and funding to Federal anti-drug enforcement agencies, to those areas of highest drug abuse and trafficking activity, particularly to those Federal agency offices working in the Los Angeles County area. 2. Expedite implementation of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, targeting resources made available under the Act to those areas which have demonstrated the greatest need, including Los Angeles County, to assist with local law enforcement, health care, prevention and education efforts. - 2 - . . ..

SUBJECT: Recommendation to Adopt Resolution in Support of State Legislation to Enact the Solid Waste Recycling Act of 19B9 and Appoint the Department of Conservation as Lead Agency for the Administration of the Act INTRODUCTION This report recommends that city council adopt the attached resolution in support of ABBD, introduced by Assembly Members Killea and Cortese. This bill would establish the Department of conservation as the lead state agency responsible for the administration of the Solid Waste Recycling Act of 1989 and would require cities and counties to cooperate in the preparation of integrated solid waste management plans which emphasize source reduction, recycling, and environmentally safe disposal. BACKGROUND ABBD has emerged as one of the most comprehensive of over 100 solid waste and recycling bills in the current legislative session. In response to mounting pressures caused by landfills reaching capacity, siting problems associated with opening new landfills, and environmental hazards caused by toxic materials leaching into the air and ground surrounding landfills, legislators are turning to alternative methods of solid waste disposal. ABBO proposes comprehensive changes in the means by which solid waste is collected, processed, and disposed, and - 1 - ,-)> AUG 0 8 1989 . . provides guidelines to cities and counties as to the specific elements to be included in their soli~ waste management plans. DISCUSSION ABSO would designate the Department of Conservation, currently lead agency for the California Beverage container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act (AB2020), as lead agency for the Solid Waste Recycling Act of 1989 which would be enacted as part of the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act. The Waste Management Board, the current lead agency for solid waste disposal issues, is perceived as biased toward the private waste disposal industry. By designating the Department of Conservation as lead agency, potential imbalances between private industry interests and the public's interests will be eliminated. AB80 would enact the Solid Waste Recycling Act of 1989 which would require each local agency to prepare, adopt, and implement a waste reduction and recycling plan which would be incorporated into a county solid waste management plan. According to AB80, amendments to the county plan would have to be approved by a majority of the cities within the county which contain a majority of the population of the incorporated area of the county. Each proposed change to the Los Angeles County Solid Waste Management Plan would require a response from Santa Monica within 90 days or the amendment will be deemed accepted as submitted. Santa Monica has already adopted a solid waste management plan establishing a 25 percent diversion goal within four years, a time frame staff believes is achievable through a program which - 2 - . . includes an innovative pay-for-volume rate structure, recycling programs aimed specifically at mUlti-family buildings, yard waste compostinq, and procurement policies emphasizing purchase of recycled products. AB80 also establishes a 25 percent diversion goal and requires that each city's plan contain the above mentioned types of programs. To identify the amount and type of recyclable materials in the waste stream, each city would be required to complete a waste characterization study and develop an implementation schedule which shows how the City will achieve the highest possible diversion rate. Santa Monica's city Council recently approved funding for implementation of a waste characterization and composting feasibility study for which staff is currently evaluating proposals from several consultants. The bill requires specified reports be submitted to the Governor and the Legislature and that plans be reviewed at least every three years. Potential problems could arise from these reporting requirements if staff time spent complying with these requirements detracts from program implementation. However, as Santa Monica already has implemented or will begin to implement most of the program requirements within the next two years, it is not anticipated that the reporting requirements will be unmanageable. ABBQ has passed the Assembly and is scheduled for consideration by the Senate Appropriations committee on August 21, 1989. Although AB80 comprehensively addresses most solid waste - 3 - e . management issues, it does not address the issue of market ~ development for recycled materials which is crucial to the ultimate success of recycling. As the designated lead agency, the Department of Conservation must be urged to take a leadership role in this area for local efforts to be successful. Economic incentives for source reduction and disincentives for excessive packaging are the single ~ost effective means of redirecting product development and manufacturing techniques. Such efforts should be encouraged at the state level in conjunction with implementation of effective solid waste management plans at the local level. BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT There is no anticipated financial impact beyond the budgeted expenditures for the recycling programs already approved by City Council. RECOMMENDATION staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution supporting AB80 and encourage additional state efforts toward the implementation of economic incentives for source reduction and disincentives for excessive packaging by manufacturers.

This bill would require the phase out of chlorofluorocarbons (cFCs) in commercial products manufactured, packaged, or sold in California and require the use of CFC recycling equipment in servicing motor vehicle air conditioners. BACKGROUND In 1984, scientists discovered a continent-sized hole in the ozone shield over Antarctica that has since been determined to be caused by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), a class of chemicals widely used in industrial and consumer products. Ozone holes have so far been confined to the Antarctic, and, to a lesser extent, the Arctic. But recent measurements of the ozone layer in other parts of the globe indicate that worldwide depletion of the ozone shield has begun. The ozone layer filters out much of the sunls harmful ultraviolet radiation which causes skin cancer, immune system damage, and increased risk to plant and animal life. '} ! - 1 - < b"~3 California emits 5 percent of the total global emissions of ozone-depleting chemicals. CFCs are used as coolants in air conditioners and refrigerators: foaming agents in foam insulation, packaging, and cushioning: solvents that clean solder from electronic components and grease from sheet metal: and sterilants that sanitize medical instruments in hospitals. Similar chemicals called halons, which are up to ten times more potent than CFCs as ozone depleters are used in fire extinguishers. Automobile and truck air conditioners account for approximately 37 percent of CFC-12 (freon) use in the United states and approximately 17 percent of all cFC use. Currently, when a vehicle air conditioner is serviced, the freon gas is drained and vented into the atmosphere during servicing. New equipment which can remove and recycle CFCs from mobile air conditioners has been developed. These machines, known as IIVampires," cost between $1500 and $4000 and are designed to replace existing air conditioning servicing equipment. AB1718 would require installation and use of CFC-12 recycling equipment in all garages and automobile service centers in California by January 1, 1991. AB1718 would also require labeling of all products containing CFCs: and prohibit sale of residential fire extinguishers using halon and medical sterilants by January 1, 1990. DISCUSSION All city of Santa Monica truck and vehicle air conditioners are serviced by a private air conditioning service and repair - 2 - facility located in Culver City. There are approximately 20 air conditioning systems or package air conditioning units in city-owned buildings which are serviced by private contractors. Halon-based fire extinguishing systems have been installed in the City's computer room and the telephone switch room where electrical fires must be quickly extinguished. Since all of the City's mobile air conditioning units are serviced by outside contractors, there is no need at this time for the city to purchase a freon recycling system. The ban on sale of residential fire extinguishers containing halon would not effect the fire extinguishers located in the computer room and telephone switch room. Fire extinguishers containing dry chemicals are the preferred substitute for residences due to their superiority in fighting household fires and their lower cost. An ordinance requiring repair shops in Los Angeles to recycle freon is now before the Los Angeles City council pending resolution of enforcement issues. The ordinance would require the installation and use of CFC-12 recycling equipment in all proprietary garages and automobile service centers in the City of Los Angeles. Mayor Bradley is recommending the law go into effect by January 1, 1990. In addition, the ordinance would place a ban on the sale of small 12 or 14 ounce cans of freon which will assist in ending the practice of replenishing freon in vehicles as an alternative to repair of leaky air conditioners. - 3 - staff will continue to monitor AB1718 and the City of Los Angeles ordinance to assess the need for further city action to prevent ozone depletion. Without participation on a County or regional basis, action by Santa Monica alone to require freon recycling systems in all automobile air conditioning repair shops would have little impact on this problem and could place an excessive burden on small Santa Monica businesses. BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT There is no budget/financial impact.

The report recommends that the city Council formally sup- port the proposition. BACKGROUND At their September 22, 1988 meeting, the Housing Commission con- sidered Proposition 84, the California Housing and Homeless Bond Act of 1988, and voted unanimously to make a recommendation to the City Council to support the measure. On March 21, 1988 city staff provided the city council with an information item which included a review and analysis of the Roberti Housing and Homeless Act. The compromise legislation discussed in the report, which incorporated the main elements of the Roberti Act, was subsequently signed into law placing three bond measures before the voters in 1988 and 1989. The bond mea- sures will authorize the issuance of $600 million in state general obligation bonds to provide housing for the homeless, seniors, the handicapped, families and first time homebUyers. - 1 - ID-.6. OCT 2 5 1988 e e Voters passed Proposition 77 in June, authorizing $150 million in in general obligation bonds for rehabilitation of low income housing. The second bond measure, Proposition 84, will be placed on the November 1988 ballot and is described below. DISCUSSION proposition 84, if passed, will provide $200 million in deferred payment loans for rental housing construction, $25 million for residential hotel acquisition and rehabilitation, $25 million in grants for the acquisition and rehabilitation of properties for emergency shelters, $15 million to develop 900 units of housing designed for single and working parent families under a new Fami- ly Housing Demonstration Program, $10 million to produce 300 units of migrant farmworker housing, and $25 million to assist 2,000 first time home buyers. The programs funded by the proposal will be implemented through existing state Department of Housing and Community Development programs with some modifications. Proceeds from state general obligation bonds will be used to fund these programs.

FIN: CMD: aksjsrprop71 council Meeting: May . ,,- :r. 10, 1988 Santa Monica, California MAy 1 0 1988 / [y; .~OCZ- TO: Mayor and City Council .I :~ FROM: City Staff SUBJECT: Motion Supporting and Endorsing State Proposition 71 on the June, 1988 Ballot Concerning Modifying the state and Local Government Spending Limitation (Gann Limit) Introduction This is to transmit for City council consideration a request by Californians for Quality Government that the City of Santa Monica support and endorse state Proposition 71 on the June 1988 ballot concerning mOdifying the state and Local Government Spending Limitation (Gann Limit). Background For well over a year, considerable public attention and concern has been focused on Article XIII B of the State Constitution which specifies certain spending limitations on State and local government. Article XIII B of the State Constitution is commonly known as the "Gann Limittt. This public attention has resulted from the publication of reports by the commission on state Finance, the League of California Cities, the California Tax Foundation and a blue-ribbon panel of the state's business leaders appointed by the Governor which examined the need for revision of certain technical provisions in Article XIII B. Additionally, public concern has resulted from the fact that the state of California and many local governments have exceeded or are very close to their Gann Limits. Responding to these concerns, Californians for Quality Government (representing a broad-based coalition of education, labor and b-:c. MAY 1 0 19&8 . FIN:CMD:aksjsrprop71 Council Meeting: May 10, 1988 . Santa Monica, California public-interest organizations), has been successful in placing on the June ballot Proposition 71, the "Government Spending Limitation and Accountability Act". A copy of the language of Proposition 71 is attached. Key provisions of Proposition 71 are: 1. Proposition 71 would allow the cost of living factor used in adjusting each jurisdiction's Gann Limit to be the greater of the change in the California Consumer Price Index or the change in California Per Capita Income. Currently, the lesser of these measures is used. This provision allows a jurisdiction's Gann Limit to reflect increases in real economic growth rather than inflation alone. As Article XIIIB is currently drafted, if inflation is less than the growth in personal income, the limit may only increase by the amount of inflation. 2. Proposition 71 would adjust the State's population to reflect the rate of growth in the school population which exceeds the rate of growth in overall state population. It also allows local governments to take into account increases in the daytime population of their communities as well as the number of permanent residents (which is currently allowed) when they calculate their Gann Limits. This change would allow local governments a larger limit to accommodate the costs of serving larger daytime, commuter populations. . FIN:CMD:aksjsrprop71 Council Meeting: May 10, 1988 . Santa Monica, California 3. Proposition 71 would allow the above specified changes in calculating the cost of living and population growth components of a Gann Limit to be applied to the 1986-87 and the 1987-88 limits when the 1988-89 limit is calculated. The actual limits for 1986-87 and 1987-88 won't be changed, but the added growth that comes from the changes described in Sections 1 and 2 will be built into the 1986-87 and 1987-88 bases and used in determining a jurisdiction's 1988-89 limit. A preliminary estimate by the Legislative Analyst indicated that the 1988-89 state limit would be about $700 million greater with these changes than if the limit had been calculated using current law. It is not possible at this time to calculate the potential impact of these changes on the Gann Limit for the City of Santa Monica as th~ state has not yet released the currently allowable growth factors for 1988-89. However, it is anticipated that the City's 1988-89 Gann Limit would be larger if Proposition 71 passes than if it were calculated under the existing provisions of Article XIII B. 4. Proposition 71 defines taxes and fees imposed on motor vehicles and motor vehicle fuels used for transportation- related purposes as state user fees. Included in this definition are motor vehicle gas taxes and registration fees. The State's Gann Limit will be adjusted so that removal of these revenues from the limit's base will not artificially reduce the state's Gann Limit. This change paves the way for . FIN: CMD: aks/srprop71 Council Meeting: May 10, 1988 . Santa Monica, California an increase in the gas tax to fund transportation projects, since the increase would not send the state over its limit. 5. Proposition 71 requires the commission on state Finance to report to taxpayers how state revenues are spent. proposition 71 has been supported and endorsed by the League of California cities and various other organizations. A listing of those organizations endorsing Proposition 71 is also attached. Californians for Quality Government is requesting that cities support and endorse Proposition 71. Also appearing on the statewide ballot this June will be Proposition 72, titled liThe Paul Gann Spending Limit Improvement and Enforcement Act of 1988." proposition 72 does not address the matter of revising the Gann Limit calculation procedure, and therefore has no direct impact on local government. The proponents of Proposition 72 have not requested that cities endorse this measure. Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council consider a motion which supports and endorses state Proposition 71 on the June 1988 ballot. prepared by: Mike Dennis, Director of Finance INITl-E MEASURE TO BE SUBMITTED OIREC.TO THE VOTERS Thl Attaf'nlY Slntfll " Call1;:wr'hn Irt,er.

CounCil Meetin~5/26/87 sa~ Monica, California to-T MAY 2 6 1981 IOe --Ct:) Z- TO: Mayor and City council FROM: City staff SUBJECT: Recommendation to Oppose AB2626, Which Requires Public Transit Operators to Bid Three Percent of Existing Services Annually to Private Transit Contractors Introduction This report provides Council with information _ on Assembly Bill 2626 and the potential impact of this bill's passage on the Municipal Bus Lines. It is recommended that Council take a firm position to oppose AB2626 based on its requirement that public transit operators competitively bid at least three percent of their existing service to private transit providers each year. Backqround The Santa Monica Municipal Bus Lines has prepared a Private Sector Involvement Program in response to recent federal guidelines on private sector participation. The regulations instituted by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (~ITA) mandate that public transit operators adopt a local process for inVOlving private enterprise in the development of public transit plans and programs which must address the following elements: ~=r t4AY 2 6 1987 - 1 - TD:J~H:SG:jw _ :Council Meeting. 5/26/87 saAll Monica, California 1. Notification and early consultation with the private sector in the development of plans for new and restructured service; 2. A periodic review, at least every three years, of existing service to identity any potential opportunities tor more efficient operation by the private sector; 3. Identification of how new or restructured services will be analyzed to determine private sector opportunities: 4. A description of how cost will be used in the pUblic/private decision: and 5. A process for fairly handling complaints from the private sector. The Municipal Bus Lines' program was adopted by the City council on February 24, 1987, as a component of the FY1988-90 Short Range Transit Plan. AB2626 would mandate that the Municipal Bus Lines, in addition to meeting the new federal requirements, also identify and offer for bidding to private contractors at least three percent of its service each year. In addition to carving out portions of the existing service, AB2626 would mandate that any new or restructured service automatically be placed out to bid. The provisions of AB2626 would require a substantial amount of effort and expense each year, even if private operators were not - 2 - , - TD:JFH:SG:jw e Council Meeting: 5/26/87 sa~ Monica, California interested in bidding on the service. Failure, however, to go through this annual exercise would result in the loss of Transportation Development Act funding, which provides approximately eight million dollars in revenues to the Municipal Bus Lines each year. Recommendation It is recommended that the city council oppose AB2626 for the following primary reasons: 1. The decision to contract out public transit services should remain with local policymakers, based on locally established policies and objectives; 2. The bill establishes an annual quota for the amount of service that must be bid each year. Again, the level of private sector involvement is best determined locally. The process of annually segmenting portions of the Big Blue Bus system is not only onerous, but could create a chaotic situation for the riding public, as well as current and future employees; and 3. Regulations currently exist at the federal level to involve the private sector in the development of mass transportation programs. When UMTA attempted to similarly implement a quota for a specific level of private sector participation, Congress intervened and prohibited this action through Congressional mandate. - 3 - . , TD:JFH:SG:jw ... council Meeting: ~26/87 sant~onica, California The impacts of AB2626 would negatively affect the efforts of the City of Santa Monica to provide an effective, cohesive transit system. It would also restrict the authority of the city Council to decide how service to the residents of our area may best be offered. Prepared by: J. F. Hutchison, Director of Transportation s. Griffin, Senior Administrative Analyst Late Note: On May 20, 1987, AB2626 was heard before the Assembly Ways and Means Committee. By an 11-8 vote, the bill was "sent to suspensen~ however, the City's lobbyist recommends that the city still take a position in the event that the issue is revived at a later date. - 4 - -, e e since the attached April 21, 1987 version of AB2626 was printed, the following amendments have been made. 1. Operations with less than 100 buses would be exempt. 2. If employee attrition does not allow an amount of service equivalent to 3%, without having to layoff drivers or mechanics, the requirement would be reduced until it reached the rate of attrition. 3. Every operator that already competitively bids service will receive a credit. That operator will not be required to bid further service until that credit is exhausted, based on 3% of service per year. 4. The use of transportation zones, provided the service is competitively bid, will constitute a credit for the operator that serviced those routes immediately prior to the establishment of the zone. None of the above amendments is of particular assistance to Santa Monica which has 145 bUses. The exemption for fleets of 100 buses or less will, however, reduce opposition to the Bill from approximately twenty communities throughout the State. ., e <'/ ~ - .

Discussion The State Legislature established the State Coastal Conservancy to carry out programs which protect, enhance, and restore resources within the state's waterfront areas. The primary source of funding to the Conservancy has been through the issuance and sale of state bonds. The city of Santa Monica has previously applied for and received funds from the state Coastal Conservancy under the 1980 and 1984 Parkland Bond Acts. The Carousel Park was designed and constructed in part with a $1 million no interest loan from the Conservancy. The special events tent was purchased with a $27,000 grant. The Conservancy has committed another $1 million loan for the reconstruction of the Santa Monica Pier. As the City continues to implement the restoration program for the Pier, the Conservancy will remain a strong supporter and a potential funding source. - 1 - ~-k.. APR 2 8 1987 AB 639 provides for sUbmission of the Coastal Resources Conservation Bond Act of 1988 to the voters at the next statewide election. If the act is adopted, it would authorize the issuance of State General obligation Bonds in the amount of $200,000,000. This new source of funding is critical to the ability of the state Coastal Conservancy to continue its coastal resources programs. BUdget/Fiscal Impact The recommended action has no budget or fiscal impact.

Background For decades, the use of recycled or "secondary" materials has been an economic disadvantage in manufacturing processes because manufacturers could received a tax credit for using virgin or "primarytl materials. The tax credits were in the form of depletion allowances and capital gains benefits. Because of the economic advantage given primary materials, most manufacturers have been slow to make the investments necessary to modify their plants to use more secondary materials. Therefore, demand for secondary materials has been weak and prices paid for them have remained low. Discussion Senate Bill 188, Recycling Tax Credit, would help to achieve tax parity for manufacturers using certain secondary materials as - 1 - ,-)) fEe 2 " 1981 e e compared with manufacturers using primary materials by providing manufacturers in California who use waste paper and fibers, waste glass and waste plastics with a ten percent credit against their taxes to offset the depletion allowance they would receive if using primary materials (please see attachment A.) Also known as the Recycling Tax Fairness Act, SB188 would encourage manufacturers in California to utilize secondary materials in their manufacturing processes. Senate Bill 188 has only recently been introduced in the state legislature. Early support is important to demonstrate that the legislation is considered important by local agencies and to help build a broad base of support. As landfill space is being rapidly depleted in California, recycling can help reduce our dependence upon landfills, but only to the extent that markets are available for the material recovered. Market development is even more important now that AB2020, the California Beverage container Recycling Act, will be implemented in October, 1987, because this legislation will resul t in recovery of increased quantities of secondary materials. BUdgetary/Financial Impact Senate Bill 188 will have no fiscal impact on the city. A financial impact may be realized in the form of increased savings from the avoided costs of hauling and disposing of recyclable materials if SB188 leads to more recycling. - 2 - e e Recommendation staff recommends Council adopt a resolution of support of SB1S8 (Alquist) which would implement a ten percent recycling tax credit for manufacturers in california using waste paper and fibers, waste glass and waste plastics. Such a tax credit will help equalize depletion allowances and capital gain benefits that currently apply to the use of primary materials, thereby encouraging manufacturers in California to use recyclable waste materials in their production processes. Prepared by: stan Scholl, Director of General Services Deborah Baine, Recycling Coordinator Attachment: Resolution for Adoption A Text of SB188, Recycling Tax Credi t, introduced as - 3 - e It RESOLUTION NO. 7376(CCS) (City Council Series) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA ENDORSING SENATE BILL 188, RECYCLING TAX CREDIT, DESIGNED TO ALLOW A TEN PERCENT TAX CREDIT FOR MANUFACTURERS IN CALIFORNIA USING SECONDARY MATERIALS TO HELP EQUALIZE THE DEPLETION ALLOWANCES AND CAPITAL GAINS BENEFITS THAT APPLY TO THE USE OF PRIMARY MATERIALS, AND TO ENCOURAGE THE USE OF RECYCLABLE WASTE MATERIALS IN CALIFORNIA PRODUCTION PROCESSES. WHEREAS, the state Legislature finds that California must continue to seek solutions to its energy, environmental, and economic problems; that solutions to these problems require proper solid waste and resource recovery management; that the generation of municipal solid waste is increasing while landfill capacity is decreasing; and that the disposal of recyclable solid waste materials is wasteful of valuable resources; and WHEREAS, the Legislature further finds that recycling of waste materials reduces waste flow to landfill sites, recovers valuable resources, conserves energy in the manufacturing process, offers a supply of domestic raw materials for the state's industries, creates jobs, and improves the business climate; and WHEREAS, the Legislature finds that the market development is now needed to increase the utilization of the materials that recycling programs collect; and WHEREAS, the Legislature therefore declares it to be in the public health and welfare, energy, environmentql, and e e economic interest of the state to implement a recycling tax credit for the purpose of increasing the amount of materials recycled by encouraging manufacturers to use recyclable waste materials in their production processes, NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA DOES RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City of Santa Monica hereby endorses the action implemented by Senate Bill 188, Recycling Tax Credit, designed to allow a ten percent recycling tax credit for manufacturers in California using secondary materials to help equalize depletion allowances and capital gains benefits which currently apply to the use of primary materials and to encourage the use of recyclable waste materials in California production processes.

ThIS bIll would requIre ticket sellers, as defIned, to have a permanent bUSIness address, to maIntaIn records of tIcket purchases and sales, to dIsclose seat locations to the purchaser prlor to the sale, to refund advance sale ticket purchases at any time prior to the avaIlabIlIty of the tIckets and to fully refund the tIcket prIce when an event 1S cancelled, postponed, or rescheduled, to dIsclose any serVIce charge Imposed by the tlcket seller, and to dIsclose the price charged for the tlcket when a t1cket 1S offered as a part of a tour or event package. Although this is not a complete solutlon to the "scalper" problem it will bring about publIC awareness and ViSlbillty to those who partIcipate In GrL lIPR 2 3 1985 - 1 - e e the busIness of ticket sales and IS, therefore, a start In addressing the assocIated problems. However, as Hltroduced J the bill does not address the Issue of the markup WhICh 1S charged by tIcket sellers. A 400% markup 1S not unusual and tIckets for many events are several tImes even that percentage. In such a sItuatIon a tIcket seller receives several tImes the compensat1on of the art1st who makes the performance. The tIcket sellers' lobby has been so strong, that In the past legislatIon aImed dIrectly at lImitIng the percentage "scalpers" can charge has faIled repeatedly. Senator Montoya has stated that he WIll amend the 3B675 where necessary to maIntain legl tlrnate concerns. CIty staff feels that the often excessi ve fees charged by most "scalpers" IS certaInly a legItImate concern of the City as these fees d1lute the money avaIlable for entertaInment expenditure thereby reduc1ng the number of events the publIC can support. The Senate Bus iness and ProfeSSIons CommIt tee w1ll be hold1ng a hearing on thIS bIll Apr1l 29th. Budget/Flnan?,}al Impact It is dIfficult to assess the ultImate finanCIal impact of the passage of SB675 on Santa Monlca. However, I t can be surmis ed tha t current tl cket sales pract Ices Impact the ablll ty of the publIC to purchase tIckets by 1nflatIng ticket costs. A reduction In these costs could Increase the abllity of the publIC - 2 - e e to purchase more tlckets for the same money and thereby has the potentlal of lncreaslng ticket sales revenues at the ClVlC Auditorlum. Recommendatlon It is recommended that Counc1l support 5B675 and support an amendment to the bill placing a ceillng on the amount charged by t lcket broker s . It is also recommended that the Mayor wrlte a letter to Senator Montoya lndicating the Council's posltlon before the April 29 committee hearIng.

( LEGISLATIVE COL'J'I:SEL"S DIGEST SB 675, as introduced, Montoya. TIcket sellers. Existing law does not regulate persons who sell tickets to sporting, musical, theatre, or other entertainment events. This bill would require ticket sellers, as defined, to have a permanent business address, to mamtain records of ticket purchases and sales, to disclose seat locations to the purchaser prior to the sale, to refund advance sale ticket purchases at any time prior to the availability of the tickets and to fully refund the tIcket price when an event is canceled, postponed, or rescheduled, to dIsclose any service charge imposed by the tIcket seller, and to disclose the price charged for the ticket when a ticket is offered as a part of a tour or event package. A VIOlatIon of the provisions would be a misdemeanor. The bill would impose a state-mandated local program since the bill would add a new crime. The California Constitution reqwres the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. Tills bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason Vote. majonty AppropriatIon: no.

Background PAST TAX STATUS OF RECYCLED MATERIALS For decades, the use of recycled or "secondary" materials has been at an eC0:10mI c d 1 S ad vantage In manu fact ur 1 ng processes be- cause manufacturers could receive a tax credit for USIng virgIn or "prImary" materIals. The tax credIts were In the form of depletIon allowances and capItal gaIns benefIts. Bec au se 0 f the economi c adv ant age given pr imary mat erl als, most manufacturers have been slow to make the Investments necessary to modIfy theIr plants to use more secondary materIals, even though e,:ergy SaVlrigs and pollution control costs could be reduced. Therefore, demand for secondary materIals has been weak and prIces paId for them have remaIned low. fo-L MAY 2 8 \965 - 1 - GS:SES:DB CouncIl MeetIng: May 28, 1985 Santa MonIca, CalIfornIa PROPOSED TAX STATUS OF RECYCLED MATERIALS Assembly BIll 1109, RecyclIng Tax Credit, would achIeve tax parl- ty for secondary materials WI th prImary materi<;ils by provIdIng mar1ufacturers L'l Cal1for:1ia who use secondary materIals with a credIt agaInst their taxes equal to the depletIon allowance they would receIve if uSIng prImary materIals (please see attachment A).

DO F}!ACT AS FOLLOWS: Sectlon 1. The ~eqislature finos and declares that rallfornla must continue to seek solutions to its energy, envlronmental and economic problems~ that solutions to these problems requlre proper solin waste ana resource recov~rv management; that the generation of municipal solid waste is increasing whi1e landfill capacity is decreasing: and that the disposal of recyclable solid waste mater1als is wasteful of valuable resources. The Legislature further finds and declares that recycling of waste materials reduces waste flow to landfill s1tes, recovers valuable resources, conserves enerqy in the manufacturing proc~ss, offers a supply Of domestic raw materials for the Statets 1ndustries, creates jobs, and improves the business climate. The Legislature finds that its' previous efforts to encourage recycling by establishing and expanding recycling centers were successful, but that market development is now needed to increase the utilization of the materials that the recycling centers collect. The Legislature therefore declares lt to be 1n the public health and welfare, energy, environmental and economlC interest of the State to implement a recycling tax credit for the purpose of increasing the amount of materials recyc1ed by encouraging manufacturers to use recyclable waste materials in the1r production processes. The credit will equalize the depletion allowances and capita] gains benefits that currently apply to the use of primary resources. Section 2. Section ]7053.6 is added to the Revenue and Tayation Code, to read: 17053.6 (a) For purposes of this chapter, the followinq deflnitions shall apply: (1) 'Pecycle', 'Pecycled', and 'Recyclinq', refer to the process of transforminq waste materials into new products. This may include returning them to their original form for reuse or alterinq the1r physical properties or composition. ~his does not lnclude a process consisting of merely sorting, shreddinq, stripping, burning, compressing, or packing materials for storage or shipment. tRecyclable' means able to be recycled, as defined herein. (2) 'Secondary Material' means mater1al that is utilized 1n place of a primary or raw material in manufacturing a new product, and includes waste paper and fibers, waste glass, scrap metals, waste plastics, and waste oil. This waste material has been used and has no significant value in its present form to its original consumer, but has value as a material to be used in manufacture or production of new goods. .. , Cbl There shall be allowed as a credit against the amount of net tax imposed by this part a percentage fdetermined under paragraph (ell of the amount paid for the recyclable secondary waterial purchased with1n Californla by the taxpayer 1n the taxable Year.

Introduction ThlS report recommends that the C~ty Counell oppose two p~eces or legislat10n concern1ng rent control: AB 3808 (Costa) and SB 2285 ( Seymour) . It additionally recommends that the City Manager be directed to work w~th the C1ty LobbY1St to represent the Clty'S posltlon to the State Legislature. ~ackground During the 1983 leglslative session, the Clty Council voted to oppose two bllls, AB 965 (Alatorre) and SB 1069 (Seymour), Wh1Ch would have serlously hlndered the author1ty of local government to enact and maintaln rent control laws such as the one in Santa Monlca. The Seymour blll was killed in commlttee, and the Alatorre blll was put over to this seS51on. It 15 stlll unclear whether Alatorre lntends to take up hlS bill agaln. (,--(( MAR 2 7 1984 1 e e Two new bills have been recently introduced, wh~ch aga~n would severely limit local rent control laws. These two ~dentically worded bllls, AB 3808 (Costa) and 5B 2285 (Seymour), would affectuate the following add1tions to the California C1V1l Code: determ1nes that a Just and reasonable return on rental property w1ll be based on current market rates: mandates vacancy decontrol: removes rent 1ncrease ce111ngs during the term of any tenancy begun after adoptlon of the legislatlon; and removes from control all slngle fam1ly resldences, ~ncludlng condom~niums. The Costa bl1l is tentatively scheduled for hearing 1n the Assembly Houslng Commlttee on May 7, 1984. The Seymour blll has been routed to the Senate Jud~clary Committee, but no date has been set for hearlng. As each of these provisions 1S contrary to the Santa Monica Rent Control Law, staff recommends that the City Council adopt a position of oppositlon to them. 2 e e Recommendat1on It ~s respectfully recommended that the City Counc~l: 1. adopt a position of opposition to AB 3808 (Costa) and SB 2285 (Seymour)i and 2. d1rect the City Manager to work with the City Lobby~st to represent this posit~on to the State Legislature. prepared By: Peggy C.

Clty Staff SuBJECT: QUlmby Park Act Fees Introductlon ThlS report requests Councll Opposltlon to certaln proposed amendments to the Quimby Park Act. Background In 1965, the sub-dlvlslon map act was amended by the 9ulmby Act (now Sectlon 66477 of the Government Code). The Qu1mby Act authorlzes cltles and countles to requ1re, as a condltlon of approvlng a subdlvls10n map, a subdlvlder to dedlcate land, to pay a fee In-lleu thereof, or both, for the development of park and recreat10n faClllt1es for the future lnhabltants of the subdlv1slon. Local agencles may exerClse the authorlty granted by the QUlmby Act by adoptlng an lmplementlng ordlnance; provlded, however, that they have adopted a recreatlonal element of the general plan WhlCh lS requlred by the local planLlng law to speclfy an agency's standards and pollcles for the locatlon and development of park and recreatlon faCllltles. QUlmby Act ordlnances must speclfy the agency's standards for determlnlng the amount of land wlthln the proposed subdlvlslon to be dedlcated and the amount of any In-lleu fee. The Clty of Santa Monlca Recreatlon and Parks Comrolss1on establlshed a standard of 2.5 acres per 1000 res1dents for establlshlng parks. Slnce the Clty does not have a large undeveloped portlon to enable park development, an alternatlve to the park standard approach would be the use of an ln lleU fee based upon dwelllng unlts. At present, II-B APR 1 3 1982 RP:DTA:dc page'2 e e the Clty of Santa Monlca charges $200 per un1t as a park and recreatlon tax. ThlS was establlshed by ordlnance #922 of August 8, 1973. ThlS ordlnance was not intended to qual1fy under the Qulmby Act, and was used solely for the purpose of producing revenue. The questlon of whether the Clty can also enact the Quimby Act provlSlons under another ord1nance needs to be answered. The Clty quallfles ln all aspects of the cond1tlons to establlsh a QuLmby Act park fee. The Qulniliy Act lmposes the follow1ng llID1tat1ons on park ded1catlon ord1nances: 1. All land and fees may be used only to provlde park and recreatlonal faC1lltles to serve the subdlvlslon. 2. The amount and locatlon of land and the amount of fee must bear a reasonable relatlonshlp to the use of park and recreat10n facillt1es by the future res1dents of the subdivlslon. 3. Each local agency must develop a schedule speclfYlng how and when lt 'wlll use the land or fees. 4. Fees not cornm1tted to expenditure wlthin 5 years of payment or the lssuance of bUlldlng permlts on 1/2 of the lots must be pald to the then owners of the lots 1n proportlon to the Slze of thelr lots relat1ve to all lots ln the subd1v1slon. 5. All subdlvlslons contalnlng 50 parcels or less; fees may be 1mposed but dedlcatlon of land may not be requlred. 6. The followlng are exempt from any QU1mby Act ord1nance: subdlv1slons of less than 5 parcels WhlCh are not used for resldent1al purposes. - 1ndustrlal subd1v1s1ons. - condom1nlums or stock cooperatlve converSlon proJects 1f the bUlldlng 15 more than 5 years old and no new dwell1ng un1ts are added. - parcel maps lllvolv1ng less than 5 parcels for shopp1ng centers for more than 300,000 square feet of gross leasable area and no resldentlal uses. The BUlldlng Industry Assoclat1on lS propos1ng several amendments to the QuLmby Park Act and they are as follows: 1. Local government should produce comprehenslve park development plans and 1dent1fy the cost of park rna1ntenance pr10r to lmplement1ng or lncreas1ng QU1mby Park fees. Staff Comment: Not pract1c1e for the C1ty to ldentlfy all costs prlor to constructlon. 2. Source of park maintenance funds should be ldentlfled l.e. general fund, speclal assessment d1strlcts or dlrect user fees, prior to enactment or 1ncreaslng QU1mby park fees. StafE comment: ThlS would be exceSSlvely restrictive to the local government to have thlS part of the State leg1slat1ve act requlr~ng the local government ~o llst all costs prlor to enactlng leglslatlon which 15 able to act by the QUlmby Act ltself. RP:D~A:dc Page 3 e e 3. Qulrnby Park fees should speclflcally be prohlblted from use for operatlon and malntenance purposes. Reason: one bUlldlng slows or stops, who would malntain the parks. Use of QUL~y fee for operatlon and malntenance suggests double taxatlon as property On new homes lS a source of maintenance of parks. Consequently, the new homeowner pays tWlce for IDalntenance and operatlon. It should be noted that new houslng, Slnce the pasSlng of Proposltlon 13, pays more ln property taxes then do~s comparable eXlsting houSlng 10 a glven community. Staff comment - QUlmby fees should be used for source of operation and malntenance partlcularly If they can be III addltlon to our present park and recreatlon unlt tax fee. 4. Land acqulsltlons under the QUlmby Park fee should not exceed 2.5 acres per 1,000 populatlon as prescrlbed by nelghborhood parks by the ~atlonal Recreatlon and Parks Assoclatlon. Staff Comment - The Clty Recreatlon and Parks CommlsSlon's present standard lS 2.5 acres per 1,000. Other cltles should not be so llmlted. If they have the space, the local )urlsdlctlon should be able to establlsh the standards. 5. Recreatlon and Parks useable open space provlded by the developer for proJects, should be glven full value as In-lleu for park fees. One reason for thlS lS that the prlvate park and recreatlon facllltles remaln on publlC taxes and are ffialntalned by prlvate funds. Staff Comment - The present act wlll allow these klnds of deductlons Again, thlS should be a local deC1Slon not mandated by the state. 6. ~~ere parklands can be dedlcated by local developers, or ln the case of affordable houslng (as deflned by HCD), park fees may not be prescrlbed on an advelorem tax baS1S. Staff Comment - The park fees pald should be standard throughout the communlty for all Qulmby Act property. 7. Payment of park fees should be wlthheld untll tlme of certlflcatlon of occupancy or the local equlvalent of same, for flnal bUlldlng lnspectlon. The payment of such fees from the constructlon loan of a bUlldlng proJect are consequently subJect to hlgh lnterest rates, thus lncreaslng the real cost to the home buyers. Staff Comment - The effect of the land or In-lleu fees on the cost of houslng when spread over the term of the Ilfe of the loan 15 lnslgnlf~cant. Delay of the payment would also delay the development of park acreage ln a sub- dlvlslon. 8. Pay wlth a park fee may be accompllshed wlth the postlng of a cash bond by the developer. The return of unused bond funds should be made to the owner of record lf not utlllzed at the end of the 5 year perlod. Staff Comment - No change from the present needed. The postlng of a bond would not enable the Clty to use the funds to develop the park proJects, and would not be cash pa~~ent as requlred under the present Qu~mby Act. 9. Parkland dedlcatlon may be developed ln lleu of a fee by the developer. If such land lS not utlllzed for park development wlthln 3 years, the land wlll be returned to the developer for development, after the developer pays property taxes on sald property for a 3 year perlod. Staff Comment - rhe act now provldes for a 5 year trme lnterval, and when tled lD wlth state and federal grants, 3 years may not be sufflclent tlme for the developmental process. RP:DTA;dc' Page 4 e e 10. Opportunltles for ]Olnt use of communlty park and publlC school playgrounds must be taken lnto consideration whenever a QUlmby park fee ordlnance is supplemented ln the communlty. A mandatory comprehenslve park plan must ldentlfy opportunltles for jOlnt use, or explain technlcal reasons for the lack of sald opportunitles. Staff Comment - Santa Monlca already has a ]Olnt-use agreement but lS not able to develop adJacent to schools because of the denslty of the communlty. The best use would be to develop school sltes as school parks here In Santa Monlca. The mandatory plan lS now requlred by the Act ~or general park purposes. To tle the ]Olng school use development to the use of Quimby Eunds lS too llmltlng to local ]urlsdlctlons. 11. Transfer of denSlty from QuLmby Act parkland dedlcatlons to bUlldable areas wlthln the same proJect should be mandatory. If no contlguous developable land eXlsts, the transfer to non-contlguous developable land under the same ownershlp snould be allowed. Staff Comment - Whlle generally agreelng to the concept, staff does not llke the ~andatory aspect of thlS ~ecommendatlon. 12. Plannlng cOTImunlties (P.C.'s ) or planned Unlt development (P.D.D.'s) or planned resldentlal development as deflned by local ordlnances whlch are 50 acres or larger, should be glven the optlon of developlng self contalned parks WhlCh provlde 2.5 acres per 1,000 proJected resldents but must be a mlnlmum 5 acre Slze ln lleu of paYlng any park fees. Staff Comment - ThlS portlon should be an enabllng portlon of the amended act, and not a mandatory provlslon thereof allowlng the local ]urlsdlctlon to have the freedom to meet ltS needs. 13. No fee should be charged to any non-resldentlal development such as commerclal and lndustrlal subdlvlslons. Staff Comment - Do not agree. The lndustrlal or cornmerclal development should be charged wlth elther In lleu fees or be requlred to provlde land because of the lmpact of thelr employees on the local Jurlsdlctlons on parks and recreatlon programs. 14. No development fees should be charged to new development for purposes of parkland acqUlsltlon and development ln the state of Callfornla except under the QUlmby Park Act as descrlbed ln government code sectlon 66477. Staff Comment - Too restrlctlve. ThlS would requlre our $200 fee to be a QulIDby Act fee. Wlth the present flnanclal plcture, the cltles would need all the fleXlblllty they could have wlth creatlve flnanclng. A b~ll currently belng sponsored by Assemblyman Reuss would authorlze the leglslatlve body to use the lnterest earned on the accumulated In-lleu fees for the malntenance of any eXlst1ng park or recreatlon faCllltles wlthln the elty or county. ThlS blll would repeal thlS prov~s~on January 1, 1985 Staff Comment - Staff feels that thls amendment to the QuLroby Act would be beneflclal to the local ]urlsdlctlons. .,. , e e RP:DTA:dc Recornmendatlon Staff recommends the Councll oppose the changes proposed by the BUlldlng Industry of Amerlca, but support Assembly BlIl 2720 introd~ced by Assemblyman Reuss, provldlng for the lnterest to be used for operations and malntenance.

Background Senate B~ll 358, introduced by State Senator Jiw X~elsen (R-Woodland), would fund a basic level of services ln publlC llbrar~es at the rate of 512.00 per capita. Senator ~lelsen sponsored a s~Bllar measure in 1980 Wh1Ch successfully passed both houses of the leglslature before be1ng vetoed by Governor Brown. This funding blll lS badly needed by many Jurlsdlctlons to help offset the Propositlon 13 losses 1n property tax revenue which formerly funded the majority of pub11c library budgets. S.B. 358 calls for an appropriatlon of $23 mllllon from the State's general fund. Partlclpatlon in the program is vol~ntary. The local Jurlsdlct~on desiring to partlc1pate must fund lts llbrary at the rate of $10.80 per capita (excluding capital expendltures) in order to be ellgible to recelve 51.20 per caplta from the State. Santa Mon1ca would recelve $106,320 from the State lf the library's operatlng budget was at least 510.80 per caplta or $956,880. (It lS currently funded for salarles, supplies and expenses at $1,901,886.) There are three other requlrements for partlclpat10n ln the progran. The Jurlsdlction ~ust agree to fund the llbrary's operatlng budget e e loA JUN 9 E81 Mayor and City councljlt Santa ~onica, Cali~la, May 27, 1981 ~ (mlnus capltal improvements) at least at the same level as the prevlous fiscal year. The funds received must be used to supplement and not supplant local revenues. Finally, the Ilbrary must agree to make ava11- able the books and other materials acqulred or ma1ntalned as part of the program to other librarles without charge. S.B. 358 has been passed by the State Education and Finance Com- ffilttees. It has next to go to the floor of the Senate and on to the AsseTIbly. It is plcking up many co-authors from both partles, among them Senators Sleroty, Petrls, Watson, and Davls; and Assemblemen Alatorre, Imbrecht. Torres, and Norman Waters. Expresslons of support from local ]urlsdictions are needed qU1ckly If the blll lS to be successful. llbrary Board Recommendation The 11brary Board at its regular meeting of May 20, 1981, voted to adopt the attached resolutlon in support of S.B. 358 and to urge the Clty Councll to support it as well by whatever means the Council deems appropriate.
