Central Contra Costa Sanitary District November 2, 2017 TO: HONORABLE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM: EMI LYBARNETT, COMMUNICATION SERVICES AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS MANAGER REVIEWED BY: KENTALM, DISTRICT COUNSEL ROGER S. BAILEY, GENERAL MANAGER SUBJECT: RECEIVE FINAL 2017 CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATIVE SESSION STAFF REPORTAND PREVIEW OF 2018 SESSION 2017 Legislative Year in Review September 15, 2017, marked the end of year one of the two-year 2017-2018 California State Legislative Session. The second year of the Legislative session will begin on January 3, 2018, when the Legislature reconvenes. The 2017 State Legislative Session saw a 25% increase in the number of introduced bills compared to the previous year. While most bills are introduced the first year of a two-year legislative session, the number still exceeds previous sessions. A total of the last five years of bill introductions are: • Total 2017 bill introductions: 2,495 • Total 2016 bill introductions: 1,993 • Total 2015 bill introductions: 2,297 • Total 2014 bill introductions: 1,930 • Total 2013 bill introductions: 2,256 Assemblymember Catharine Baker, a State legislator representing a portion of Central San's service area, indicated that she voted on over 1,800 pieces of legislation in 2017, with over 800 of those votes cast in the last two weeks of the session. While the passage of Proposition 54 in 2016 required bill information to be posted for at least 72 hours prior to a bill being passed, the Legislature continues to conduct a significant amount of work within the last days and hours of the legislative session. This year, the 72 -hour rule, required the Legislature to stay up to approximately 4:00 a.m. to cast final votes. The Governor vetoed a total of 76 bills, ranging in topics from mental health treatment to California Admission Day in State parks. This is the lowest number of bills the Governor has vetoed since his return to office in 2011. November 2, 2017 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet - Page 175 of 303 Page 2 of 12 Central San's 2017 Priority Legislation Central San's Board of Director's took positions on 10 priority pieces of state legislation, in line with other agency amounts. Of those: • Four Board supported bills were Chaptered (when a legislative bill becomes law) • Two Board supported bills may move forward to the 2018 Legislative Session Of the three Board opposed bills, one was Chaptered, one was vetoed by the Governor, and one may carry over to the 2018 Legislative Session (Board changed to Neutral position on one piece of Legislation). For the 2017 Legislative Session, Central San had a 70% success rate on the District's priority legislation. Of note, the Governor vetoed AB 1479 (Bonta) that would require public agencies to provide a designated person to act as the custodian of records to handle Public Record Act requests. Central San Board of Directors took a position to oppose AB 1479 as, at the time, it levied possible fines of between $1,000- $5,000 on agencies that were deemed not in compliance. The Governor felt that this bill would not add "measurable impact on the speed or accuracy in responding to Public Record Act requests" (Attachment 1). Looking Forward to 2018 - The State Legislature Local legislators Assemblymember Tim Grayson and Assemblymember Catharine Baker have indicated the following topics will be focus areas for the 2018 Session: • California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) reform (to add strength and balance between development and environmental protection) • Affordable housing (as 70% of Bay Area renters state that the barrier to homeownership is saving the amount of the down payment required) • Education reform that focuses on career technical education paths Looking Forward to 2018 - Planned Staff Improvements to Program After review of staff's 2017 process to deliver important Legislative information to the Board, staff is providing four possible efficiency saving measures to implement in the 2018 Legislative Session. These include: Providing monthly legislative updates to the Board of Directors during the early stages of the Legislative Session, and increasing to every Board meeting near the end of the Legislative Session as warranted. 2. Streamlining the Legislative Priority Tracking Sheet to make it easier to follow, use and refer to during Board meetings. 3. Participating in more State Capitol visits, furthering important relationships and communicating Central San's position on key legislation with Capitol staff. This will also allow for Capitol staff to more readily use Central San as an expert agency for industry -related questions. 4. Participating more in the California Special Districts Association (CSDA) Legislative Committee. An updated Priority Legislative Tracking Sheet is provided (Attachment 2) along with the Governor's veto message on AB 1479.

This bill requires public agencies designate a person or office to act as the agency's custodian of records to respond to any California Public Records Act request. I am not convinced this bill would have any measurable impact on the speed or accuracy in responding to Public Record Act requests. While I am open to future discussions about strengthening public record disclosures for all branches of California government, this bill has the potential to further confuse an already complex process.
