I D AD-17-012 Page 2 of 4 Meeting Date:4/3/2017 Analysis: On Wednesday, March 22, 2017, the Intergovernmental Relations Committee met to discuss pending Federal and State legislation. The City's Federal Representative from Townsend Public Affairs (TPA) provided the Committee with an update on the President's proposed budget. The Committee also reviewed the 2017 State Legislative Matrix provided by the City's State Advocate, TPA. The Committee members chose to take the following positions on pending legislation. Support — Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development (T-HUD) Bill Under the preliminary budget, both the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships programs would be eliminated. Additionally, funding for transportation programs like TIGER are slated for reductions. State and local governments and the communities they serve rely on the resources provided by the Housing and Urban Development Department and the Department of Transportation. These infrastructure needs — for transportation, community development, and accessible affordable housing — exist in the City. Support — AB 572 (Quirk-Silva) — Alcoholism or Drug Treatment Facilities Orange County This bill would require the State Department of Health Care Services to establish a pilot program to locate an investigator within a participating county to investigate complaints against licensed adult alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities within the county. This bill would require the department to implement the pilot program by executing a contract with the County of Orange providing that the department will assign an investigator and the county will reimburse the department for the investigator's compensation and benefits. The bill would require the pilot program to be completed no later than December 31, 2019. Currently there is limited State staff to investigate complaints and this would assist cities that have limited staffing and who have seen an influx of these treatment facilities. Support AB 346 (Daly) Redevelopment Housing Successor Low Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund Existing law authorizes the city, county, or city and county that created a former redevelopment agency to elect to retain the housing assets and functions previously performed by the former redevelopment agency. Existing law requires the housing successor to maintain any funds transferred to it, together with any funds generated from housing assets in a separate Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund to be used in accordance with applicable housing-related provisions of the Community Redevelopment law. This bill would authorize a housing successor to use remaining funds in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund for homelessness services, transitional housing or emergency housing services, as well as for the development of affordable housing. Support—AB 285 (Melendez) Drug and Alcohol Free Residences Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of community care facilities by the State Department of Social Services. This Department also provides for the licensure and regulation of adult alcoholism and drug abuse recovery and treatment facilities for adults. This bill would, define a "drug and alcohol free residence" as a residential property that is operated as a cooperative living arrangement to provide an alcohol and drug free environment for persons recovering from alcoholism or drug abuse, or both, who seek a living environment that supports personal recovery. As written, this bill would authorize a drug and alcohol free residence to demonstrate its commitment to providing a supportive recovery environment by applying and becoming certified by an approved certifying organization that is approved by the State Department of Health Care Services. Item 4. - 2 HB _22- Dept. ID AD-17-012 Page 3 of 4 Meeting Date:4/3/2017 Oppose —AB 199 (Chu) Public Works: Private Residential Projects This bill would eliminate the long-standing residential exemption from prevailing wage rates and thereby make private, market-rate residential development a public works project for which prevailing wage would be paid. Oppose — AB 252 (Ridley-Thomas) Local Government Taxation Prohibition Video Streaming Services Existing law authorizes counties, cities, and other local agencies to impose various taxes and fees in connection with activity or property within those jurisdictions. This bill would prohibit the imposition by a city, city and county, or county, including a chartered city, of a tax on video streaming services, including but not limited to, any tax on the sale or use of video streaming services (e.g. Netflix, Hulu, etc.). This bill would enact a technologically biased tax policy that undermines local voters. AB 252 imposes a discriminatory tax that disadvantages cable and vide providers. Tax policies should be technology neutral and applied based on service provided, not the technology used. Oppose — SB 57 (Stern) Natural Gas Storage Moratorium This bill would extend the moratorium on natural gas injections at the Aliso Canyon storage facility until the Root Cause Analysis of the leak that started in October 2015 has been completed. It would also require the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to complete its analysis regarding the need for the Aliso Canyon storage facility by the end of the year. Additionally, the extension of the moratorium would impact the region's energy reliability. The CPUC has determined the existing production capacity at Aliso Canyon is insufficient to meet estimated demand in the coming season. Oppose — SB 35 (Wiener) Planning and Zoning Affordable Housing Streamlined Approval Process The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt a General Plan for land use development within its boundaries that includes, among other things, a housing element. This bill would require the planning agency to include it its annual report specified information regarding units of housing, including rental housing and housing designated for homeownership, that have completed construction. The bill would also require an accessory dwelling unit development or a multifamily housing development that satisfies specified planning objective standards to be subject to a streamlined, ministerial approval process, as provided, and would not be subject to a conditional use permit. This bill would limit the authority of a local government to impose parking standards or requirements on a streamlined development approved pursuant to these provisions. Oppose —SB 649 (Hueso) Wireless Telecommunication Facilities Under existing law, a wireless telecommunications collation facility, as specified is subject to a city or county discretionary permit and is required to comply with specified criteria, but a collocation facility, which is the placement or installation of wireless facilities, including antennas and related equipment, on or immediately adjacent to that wireless telecommunications collocation facility, is a permitted use not subject to a city or county discretionary permit. This bill would define the term "small cell" as a particular type of telecommunications facility for these purposes which would take away the rights of the city to issue discretionary permits. The Intergovernmental Relations Committee, comprised of Mayor Delgleize and Council Member Jill Hardy (Mayor Pro Temp Posey was absent), approved a support position on the T-HUD Bill, AB 572, AB 346, AB 285 and an oppose position on AB 199, AB 252, SB 35, SB 57, SB 649.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 572, as introduced, Quirk-Silva. Alcoholism or drug abuse treatment facilities: Orange County pilot program. Existing law provides that the State Department of Health Care Services has the sole authority in state government to license adult alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities, as defined. Existing law authorizes the department to conduct announced or unannounced site visits to licensed facilities to review compliance with all applicable statutes and regulations. This bill would require the State Department of Health Care Services to establish a pilot program to locate an investigator within a participating county to investigate complaints against licensed adult alcoholism or drug abuse recovery or treatment facilities within the county. The participating county would be the County of Orange if the Orange County Board of Supervisors elects to participate in the pilot program. The bill would require the department to implement the pilot program by executing a contract with the County of Orange providing that the department will assign an investigator and the county will reimburse the department for the investigator's compensation and benefits. The bill would require the pilot program to be completed no later than December 31, 2019, and would require the county to submit 99 HB -25- Item 4. - 5 AB 572 —2— a report of the results of the pilot program, as specified, to the Legislature no later than July 1, 2020.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 346, as introduced, Daly. Redevelopment: housing successor: Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund. Existing law dissolved redevelopment agencies and community development agencies as of February 1, 2012, and provides for the designation of successor agencies to wind down the affairs of the dissolved redevelopment agencies and to, among other things, make payments due for enforceable obligations and to perform duties required by any enforceable obligation. Existing law authorizes the city,county,or city and county that created a former redevelopment agency to elect to retain the housing assets and functions previously performed by the former redevelopment agency. Existing law requires the housing successor to maintain any funds transferred to it,together with any funds generated from housing assets in a separate Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund to be used in accordance with applicable housing-related provisions of the Community Redevelopment Law, except as specified. Existing law requires the housing successor to expend funds received from the successor agency to meet its enforceable obligations, and for specified administrative and monitoring costs relating to ensuring the long-term affordability of units subject to affordability restrictions. The housing successor may expend a specified amount per fiscal year for homeless 99 Item 4. - 8 KB -28- AB 346 —2— prevention and rapid rehousing services, and must use all funds remaining thereafter for the development of affordable housing, as specified. This bill would authorize a housing successor to also use funds remaining in the Low and Moderate Income Housing Asset Fund for homelessness services, transitional housing, or emergency housing services, as well as for the development of affordable housing.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 285, as introduced, Melendez. Drug and alcohol free residences. Existing law provides for the licensure and regulation of community care facilities by the State Department of Social Services. Existing law also provides for the licensure and regulation by the State Department of Health Care Services of adult alcoholism and drug abuse recovery and treatment facilities for adults. This bill would, among other things, define a"drug and alcohol free residence" as a residential property that is operated as a cooperative living arrangement to provide an alcohol and drug free environment for persons recovering from alcoholism or drug abuse, or both, who seek a living environment that supports personal recovery. The bill would authorize a drug and alcohol free residence to demonstrate its commitment to providing a supportive recovery environment by applying and becoming certified by an approved certifying organization that is approved by the State Department of Health Care Services. The bill would provide that a residence housing persons who are committed to recovering from drug or alcohol addiction is presumed to be a drug and alcohol free residence if the residence has been certified by an approved certifying organization. The bill would require an approved certifying organization to, among other things, maintain an affiliation with a national organization recognized by the department, establish 99 HB 7_ Item 4. - 17 AB 285 —2— procedures to administer the application, certification, renewal, and disciplinary processes for a drug and alcohol free residence, and investigate and enforce violations by a residence of the organization's code of conduct, as provided.

O 99 Item 4. - 24 HB -44- ATTACHMENT #4 CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE-2017-18 REGULAR SESSION ASSEMBLY BILL No. 199 Introduced by Assembly Member Chu January 23, 2017 An act to amend Section 1720 of the Labor Code, relating to public works. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 199, as introduced,Chu.Public works:private residential projects. (1) Existing law requires private residential projects built on private property that are built pursuant to an agreement with a state agency, redevelopment agency, or local public housing authority to meet the requirements for projects that are defined as "public works,"including, among other requirements, the payment of prevailing wages. Existing law defines the term "political subdivision" for the purposes of these requirements to include any county, city, district, public housing authority, public agency of the state, and assessment or improvement districts. Existing law makes a willful violation of specific laws relating to the payment of prevailing wages and the hours worked on public works projects a misdemeanor. This bill would instead require private residential projects built on private property that are built pursuant to an agreement with the state or a political subdivision to meet the requirements for projects that are defined as "public works," thus expanding the types of projects that must meet these requirements. By expanding the definition of a crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. 99 HB -45- Item 4. - 25 AB 199 —2— This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

O I 97 Item 4. - 40 HB -60- ATTACHMENT #7 AMENDED IN SENATE MARCH 21, 2017 AMENDED IN SENATE MARCH 9, 2017 AMENDED IN SENATE FEBRUARY 21, 2017 SENATE BILL No. 35 Introduced by Senator Wiener (Principal coauthor:Senator Atkins) (Coauthor: Senator Allen) December 5, 2016 An act to amend Sections 65400 and 65582.1 of, and to add Section 65913.4 to, the Government Code,relating to housing. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 35,as amended,Wiener.Planning and zoning: affordable housing: streamlined approval process. (1) The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt a general plan for land use development within its boundaries that includes, among other things, a housing element. The Planning and Zoning Law requires a planning agency, after a legislative body has adopted all or part of a general plan, to provide an annual report to the legislative body, the Office of Planning and Research, and the Department of Housing and Community Development on the status of the general plan and progress in meeting the community's share of regional housing needs. This bill would require the planning agency to include in its annual report specified information regarding units of-4oftsi-ng housing, including rental housing and housing designated for homeownership, that have completed construction. The bill would also require the Department of Housing and Community Development to post an annual 96 1-1 B -6 t- Item 4. - 4 SB 35 —2— report submitted pursuant to the requirement described above on its Internet Web site, as provided. (2) Existing law requires an attached housing development to be a permitted use, not subject to a conditional use perinit, on any parcel zoned for multifamily housing if at least certain percentages of the units are available at affordable housing costs to very low income, lower income, and moderate-income households for at least 30 years and if the project meets specified conditions relating to location and being subject to a discretionary decision other than a conditional use permit. Existing law provides for various incentives intended to facilitate and expedite the construction of affordable housing. This bill would require an accessory dwelling unit development or a multifamily housing development that satisfies specified planning objective standards to be subject to a streamlined, ministerial approval process, as provided, and to not be subject to a conditional use permit. The bill would limit the authority of a local government to impose parking standards or requirements on a streamlined development approved pursuant to these provisions, as provided. The bill would provide that if a local government approves a project pursuant to that process,that approval will not expire if that project includes investment in housing affordability, and would otherwise provide that the approval of a project expire automatically after 3 years, unless that project qualifies for a one-time, one-year extension of that approval. (3) The bill would make findings that ensuring access to affordable housing is a matter of statewide concern and declare that its provisions would apply to all cities and counties, including a charter city, a charter county, or a charter city and county. (4) By imposing new duties upon local agencies with respect to the streamlined approval process and reporting requirement described above, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (5) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. 96 Item 4. - 42 HB -62- -3— SB 35 The people of the State of Caltfbrnia do enact as follows: 1 SECTION 1.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 649, as introduced,Hueso. Wireless telecommunications facilities. Under existing law,a wireless telecommunications collocation facility, as specified, is subject to a city or county discretionary pen-nit and is required to comply with specified criteria, but a collocation facility, which is the placement or installation of wireless facilities, including antennas and related equipment, on or immediately adjacent to that wireless telecommunications collocation facility, is a permitted use not subject to a city or county discretionary permit Existing law defines various teens for these purposes. This bill would define the term "small cell" as a particular type of telecommunications facility for these purposes. Under existing law, a city or county, as a condition of approval of an application for a permit for construction or reconstruction of a development project for a wireless telecommunications facility, may not require an escrow deposit for removal of a wireless telecommunications facility or any component thereof, unreasonably limit the duration of any permit for a wireless telecommunications facility, or require that all wireless telecommunications facilities be limited to sites owned by particular parties within the jurisdiction of the city or county, as specified. 99 KB -73- Item 4. - 53 SB 649 —2— This bill would apply these prohibitions to the approval of small cell facilities as defined by this bill.
