Subject: Approval of Law Enforcement Contract Rates for Fiscal Year 2015-16

On June 9, 2015, City Council approved the law enforcement contract budget that anticipated a 3.0% increase to rates for FY 2015-16. On May 1 0, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved the Sheriff's contract rates to provide law enforcement services for FY 2015-16 retroactive to July 1, 2015. The effective rate increase for FY 2015-16 to Thousand Oaks is 2.1 %, or an estimated $0.6 million increase compared to prior fiscal year contract rates. With the effective rate being less than the anticipated budgetary estimate no budgetary actions are required at this time.

For FY 2016-17, the Office of Business Management (OBM) anticipates a rate increase of 4.0%, or an estimated increase of $1.1 million. Budget established for FY 2016-17 was a 3.0% increase over FY 2015-16 budgeted rates. With FY 2015-16 approved rates adjustment at 0.9% under budget, staff anticipates meeting the FY 2016-17 budget. OBM does have a history of providing conservative preliminary rates with final rates normally coming in lower than originally anticipated. This is a preliminary rate and staff will share more information as it becomes available.

Please feel free to contact me at ext.2235 if you have any questions.

As of 2129/2016

Dlscuas!on: The incorporated cities of Thousand Oaks, Moorpark, Camarillo, Ojai, and Fillmore, contract with the County for law enforcement services provided by the Sheriff's Office. Additionally, the Sheriff's Office provides, on occasion, services to school districts, special districts, State and Federal agencies, other government entities, and private entities. In FY2014-15, contract city revenue totaled $52,710,896. Revenues generated from city contracts were: Camarillo - $14,432,123, Moorpark - $6,429,157, Thousand Oaks -$25,894,642, Fillmore- $3,058,361, and Ojai- $2,896,613. Revenue received from other entities amounted to $272,481.

Annually, your Board is requested to approve the law enforcement service rates. The proposed rates for FY20 15-16 incorporate the same fair and reasonable direct and indirect cost methodology utilized in prior years, updated with revised County charges. The rates were prepared in compliance with California Government Code section 51350. The proposed FY 2015-16 rates are primarily impacted by wages and benefits associated with various bargaining unit memorandums of agreement. Rates vary amongst the cities due to the differing arrays of police services provided. Vehicle and fuel charges are a direct "pass-through" from General Services Agency. The rate change for the five contract cities averages 1.11 %. The Sheriff's FY 2015~ 16 Adopted Budget incorporates the associated revenue increase. The process of updating the law enforcement contracts is underway.

This letter has been reviewed by Offices of the County Executive, the Auditor Controller and County Counsel. If you have any questions regarding this item, please contact Bureau Mgr. Andrew Kish at 648-9224 or Undersheriff Gary Pentis at (805) 654-2383.

Sincerely, ~

Subject: Sales Tax Update -1st Quarter 2016 Receipts for 4th Quarter 2015 Sales

Please find attached the '7housand Oaks Sales Tax Update'' prepared by the City's Sales Tax Consultant, Hinderliter de Llamas and Associates (HdL). The update provides analysis on sales tax revenue for the 4th Quarter (October, November, and December) of 2015.

Presented below are reported adjusted sales tax revenue for the City of Thousand Oaks, Ventura County, and Southern California for the period.

Area 4th Qtr. 2015 4th Qtr. 2014 $ Chg. %Chg.

Southern California $ 937,317,925 $ 917,318,270 $ 19,999,655 2.2%

County of Ventura 36,652,765 35,664,351 988,414 2.8%

City of Thousand Oaks 8,055,924 7,788,505 267,419 3.4%

(Adjusted for Economic Data and includes County & State Pools allocations).

Across Southern California, agencies experienced an increase in sales tax revenue of 2.2 percent due to sales growth of 10.5 percent in Building and Construction, 7.3 percent in Autos and Transportation, and 6.1 percent in Restaurants and Hotels, but was offset by a 12.8 percent decline in Fuel and Service Stations, compared to the 4th Quarter of 2014.

Countywide, Ventura County agencies experienced an increase in sales tax revenue of 2.8 percent due to sales growth of 10.3 in Building and Construction, 5.8 percent in Restaurants and Hotels, and 5.2 percent in both Autos and Transportation and the County and State Pools, but was offset by a 10.4 percent decline in Fuel and Service Stations, compared to the 4th Quarter of 2014.

As indicated, across the region, sales growth has increased over the prior year's quarter. Gross receipts for all businesses (adjusted for Economic Data) for the City of Thousand Oaks were $8.1 million compared to $7.8 million for the same period last year, which represents a 3.4 percent increase from the prior year. The City experienced an increase in sales tax revenue due to sales growth of 12.3 percent in Building and Construction, 7.2 percent in Business and Industry, and 8.0 percent in County and State Pools, but was offset by a 11.3 percent decline in Fuel and Service Stations, compared to the 4th Quarter of 2014.

The following table shows the change in the Major Industry Groups and allocations from the County and State Pools:

Major Industry Groups 4th Qtr. 2015 4th Qtr. 2014 %Change Autos & Transportation $ 2,224,345 $ 2,178,583 2.1% General Consumer Goods 2,145,809 2,083,222 3.0% Allocation from County/State pool 909,065 841,461 8.0% Restaurants & Hotels 891,358 842,317 5.8% Business & Industry 586,277 547,124 7.2% Food & Drugs 473,726 464,146 2.1% Buildings & Construction 424,238 377,898 12.3% Fuel & Service Stations 401 '138 452,483 -11.3% Transfers & Unidentified {32} 1,271 -102.5%

Total $ 8,055,924 $ 7 ,788,505 3.4% (Adjusted for Economic Data)

Important notes for the 41h Quarter: 1) Autos & Transportation maybe flattening out by the end of this calendar year, 2) Business & Industry increased 7.2 percent over the prior year due to increases from medical-biotech companies, and 3) Restaurants & Hotels increased by 5.8 percent over prior year, primarily due to an increase in fine dining, along with new restaurants coming to the City. The decline of 11.3 percent in Fuel & Service Stations was due to lower average gasoline prices for the fourth quarter compared to the same period last year.

Sales tax revenue continues to increase and approach pre-recession levels. An important item to note is the continued change in sales tax revenues from traditional brick and mortar stores towards online shopping, as noted by the increase in the City's allocations from County and State Pools.

Of the 4,780 sales tax permits in Thousand Oaks, the "Top 1 00" combined tax producers totaled $4.6 million or 64.0 percent of the sales tax revenue generated for the 41h quarter 2015. This is important because it shows the City isn't primarily reliant on just a handful of businesses for its sales tax revenue.

The table on the following page shows the City of Thousand Oaks sales trend in relation to the other cities within the County. Although the City did not experience the largest percer:1tage change compared to the same period last year, it is fair to note that it is the largest monetary recipient this Quarter (refer to graph on the following page). The City's "Adjusted % Change" was 2.9 percent, which ranks fourth out of the eleven agencies.

Five-Year Sales Tax Trend:

The table below provides the five-year change in percentage from calendar year 2011 to 2015 in the City's major industry groups. Point-of-Sales totals from calendar year 2011 was $23.0 million, which marked the start of the turnaround of the Great Recession. Point-ofsales totals have increased to $26.6 million in calendar year 2015 representing a 15.3 percent increase.

Due to the continued improvement in the economy, Building & Construction and Autos & Transportation have experienced the largest increases of 46.4 percent and 34.0 percent, respectively. This was due to new construction and renovations of homes, as well as an increase in the purchasing and leasing of automobiles. Restaurants & Hotels increased 21.9 percent due to consumers eating out more often, along with additional quality restaurants opening within the City. Fuel & Service Stations has shown the greatest decrease of 11.9 percent due to the decline in average fuel prices.

Budget Projections:

Although initial budget projections from Hdl had FY 2014-15 sales tax revenue at $30.1 million, due to the legal settlement between the City of Fillmore and other agencies, the Board of Equalization (BOE) over-advanced Ventura County's Sales and Use Tax. As a result, the City's sales tax revenue was over-advanced by $2.9 million in FY 2014-15. Per discussions with Hdl, the City booked the over-advance as a liability in FY 2014-15. The BOE will correct this in FY 2015-16. The City recorded revenue of $28.0 million in FY 2014-15 and projects revenue of $28.8 million in FY 2015-16.

Triple Flip:

The eleven year program known as the ''Triple Flip" ended in December 2015. Local governments will again receive their full share of Bradley-Burns Sales and Use tax revenues beginning in January 2016, with the final true-up occurring in June 2016.

Q4 2o1s Thousand Oaks Sales Tax Update

California Overall Excluding accounting aberrations, lo

cal sales and usc:: tax receipt.~ from the

fourth quarter of 2015 ended 2.6% above 2014's holiday quarter.

Solid returns for autos, RV.~. building

materials and most categories of res tau

rams were the primary contributors to the statewide increase. The growth

in online shopping for merchandise

shipped from out-of-state continued to

raise countywide u.~e tax allocation pool revenues.

'1 he gains were largely offset by a 13.2')1(, drop in tax receipts from service stations

and other fuel-related expenditures. Except f~)r value price clothing and shoes,

most categories of general consumer

goods were A at or down, reflecting heavy

price d iscounting ro reduce excess holiday inventories and the:: impact of the

strong dollar on international tourist

spending.

With some exceptions, particularly in

the areas of computers and agricultural

chemicals, overall receipts from business and industrial expenditures were

also down primarily due to cutbacks

in capital spending by energy producers

and manufacturers of exported goods, equipment and raw materials.

Intense competition and price pressures

resulted in only modest. gains in receipts from grocers and pharmacists with the

largest increase in this group coming

from liquor stores and marijuana dis

pensarie.~.

HdL's most rea:nt economic consensus forecast amici paces similar modest gains

through 2016 with an eventual peak

in auto sales replaced by st rong sales of

building and construction materials for

home irnprovemem and new housing. A recovery in tax receipts frorn fuel is

not expected until the:: end of the year.

The Triple Flip Is Over! Beginning with taxes collected in January and forward, local govemments

will again receive:: their fu!l share of Bradley-Burns .~ales and use tax reve-

nues thus ending an eleven-year pro

gram known as the Triple Flip.

·1 he program began in 2004 when vot

er.~ approved a$15 billion bond i.~suc to

cover operating deficits resulting from

a combination of that year's economic

downturn plus failure to offset the loss

of revenue from the Governor's popular

reduction in the 65-year-old, 2o/o Motor

Vehide In-Lieu Tax.

The State retained 25o/o of local sales tax

to guarantee the bonds, reimbursed lo

cal governments from monies meant for

schools and replaced the mont:y taken

from schools with state general funds

thus creating what became known as

the Triple Flip. The financing scheme

resulted in interest payments totaling

$1.8 billion, plus another $200 million

in administrative fee.~ while crcarjng new

budget challenges fur local governments.

Improving labor markets, low interest rates and increased manufacturer's incentives have analysts predicting 2016 to be another record year for auto industry sales. The record growth is expected to peak by the end of the calendar year as manufacturers are becoming increasingly dependent on incentives, subprime lending and fleet sales to maintain the pace. The gains from a healthy recovery in RV sales may be offset by freight operator's cutbacks in capital spending for new semi-trucks.

Demand for single family homes continues to spur new construction. Commercial warehousing and distribution projects are expected to remain strong while office development is expanding in response to lower vacancy rates. Retail construction is trending toward smaller store sizes and providing customers with diverse shopping experiences to lure consumers away from their computers. Rising home values are bringing more units on the market and spurring remodeling activity.

Energy producers have scaled back on capital investment and proposals for new alternative energy projects are slowing due to the lack of adequate transmission capacity. The strong dollar and international economic slowdown have export driven businesses and their suppliers cutting back on capital expenditures and reducing inventories. Office and computer-related equipment purchases remain strong and the agriculture sector continues to spend on technology and materials to maintain production of high value crops through drought and climate change.

The taxable portions of this segment have become increasingly fragmented with the introduction of new grocery chains and inroads made by warehouse dubs, big box discounters, dollar stores and new online concepts. The competition has kept prices down resulting in only modest gains for this group. The newest competitor is grocery discount chain Aldi which plans to open 45 stores in California by year's end. Significant fuel price swings could skew the results for

individual grocers or chains that combine fuel sales in their tax returns.

Production freezes by OPEC members and decreased production by many non-OPEC nations has begun to push crude oil prices higher and California's refinery capacity remains limited. Expectations are for price stability through the summer season and then price increases in late 2016 as excess inventories are depleted. Increased fuel efficiency and lower fuel prices are reducing the amount of sales tax and gas tax funds availabfe for transportation projects.

Retailers faced several challenges this holiday season including heavy discounting to offset excess inventories and a reduction in international tourist spending due to the strong dollar. Categories with the strongest performance were value-priced apparel, cosmetic stores and home furnishings. Price competition and the increased popularity of online shopping where the tax on out-of-state shipments is shifted to the countywide allocation pools caused the relatively

modest gains in this group.

Tax gains from restaurants have exceeded 6% for the last nine quarters as rising income and savings on fuel had consumers spending freely on vacations and dining out. New fast casual concepts are also accelerating the trend of millennia Is eating fewer meals at home. Reports indicate that despite global economic weakness and the strong dollar, tourist and business visits to California are still increasing though at a more subdued rate. Even with new competition from online short-term rental companies, hotel occupancy rates have surged, leading to the construction of a large number of new hotels and restaurants throughout the state.

Growth in countywide pool allocations is expected to remain stroAg as online shopping for goods shipped from outof-state fulfillment centers continues to accelerate. Increased private party vehicle transactions registered at the DMV. out-of-state materials purchases and long-term equipment leasing will contribute to future gains.

"Proposition 172 projections vary from statewide Bradley-Burns calculations due to the state's utilization of differing collection periods in its allocation to counties. Hdl forecasts an increase of 3.5o/o for Fiscal Year 2015-16 compared to State Controller's Office remittance totals in Fiscal Year 2014·15. A statewide gain of 4.3% is projected for Fiscal year 2016-17. Hdt.:s forecast assumes BOE accounting issues will be successfully resolved and temporarily suspended quarterly true-ups will be fully restored prior to fiscal year end.

ECONOMIC DRIVERS . ··- " ...

2015-16 2016-17

Concerns over China and weak global demand rattled the stock market earlier this year but the U.S. economy keeps chugging along! The current expansion, already one of the longest on record, will extend into 2016 and 2017 with consumer, business, and government spending accelerating. The housing market should improve this year especially with low but rising interest rates. Low fuel prices leave households more to spend elsewhere, and the country will face limited exposure to weakness abroad. Even so, concerns about the distribution of income are a hot topic in this election year and a growing issue for the broader economy. Overall, Beacon Economics expects U.S. economic growth to remain steady, with 2.6% growth in real GOP year-over-year for 2016-17.

Jobs growth increased by 2.1% last year, and is off to a good start. This year the labor market is at full employment with the unemployment rate at 4.9%. The more comprehensive U-6 rate is falling. More people are working full time and wages are on the rise. Beacon Economics expects the U.S. unemployment rate to edge down more slowly over the course of the next year as wage gains and the prospect of full-time employment draw more people into the labor force.

•. 2.6%

california's job growth has consistently exceeded the U.S. growth rate over the past three years and enjoyed the fourthhighest pace of growth among all states last year. Tech-related sectors lead the state in job growth, but gains have been broad-based and include lower-wage sectors such as retail and leisure/hospitality, middle-wage sectors such as construction and higher-wage sectors such as professional, scientific and technical services. California's job growth will continue to exceed the nation's pace of growth in 2016 and 2017 sustaining increases in consumer spending and business activity and improving government finances.

The state's unemployment rate fell from 7.0% in the fourth quarter of 2014 to just 5.8% in the fourth quarter of 2015. More Californians will find full-time employment and existing workers will see their hours and earnings increase this year. Like the U.S. economy overall, the California economy will see strong hiring that will fuel steady growth in consumer spending. Beacon Economics expects the quarterly unemployment rate to continue to fall throughout the rest of the year and into next year, dropping to 5.2% by mid-2017.

Economic growth means population growth in California, both in terms of natural increase (births minus deaths) and net migration. Though California is viewed as a high-cost state, most of its population shifts are county-to-county rather than state-to-state. While Beacon Economics expects net migration to fall slightly in 2016 and into 2017, natural increase will boost population growth such that total growth reaches roughly 1.1% in 2017.

California home sales rose last year along with the median home price, although the median is still below the prerecession peak ($519.800). The supply of homes is lean at 4.3 months and wilt drive prices higher this year, but this means affordability will be more of a challenge especially for first-time buyers. Beacon Economics expects the median home price to reach roughly $456,800 by mid-2017.

·~·~·

_ _:.·,...;,,:,) 111,000

Residential construction in California will rise from 97,900 units in 2015 to 111.000 units in 2016. Much of the incremental growth will come in the single-family segment (11,800 units compared to 1,300 multifamily units). Given the pace of population growth, the state should have built 400,000 units over the past five years but the actual number built was closer to 262,000. That gap should narrow in the next couple of years ..

FROM: Mina M. Layba, Legislative Affairs Manager

DATE: June 15, 2016

SUBJECT: Update on Protest Procedures- California Public Utilities Commission Adoption of Rulemaking 4-03-016- Single Methodology to Calculate Remittance under Municipal Surcharge Act

Last month, California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) adopted Rulemaking 4-03-16 for Single Methodology to Calculate Remittance. Beg inn ing July 1, 2016, Southern California Gas Company and San Diego Gas & Electric Company will now calculate their Municipal Public Land Surcharge using the same formula as Pacific Gas and Electric Company and Southern California Edison Company.

According to Southern Californ ia Gas Company (SoCaiGas), the new formula will be applied to the mun icipal surcharge collected in 2016 for the full year and pa id to the City in 2017 .

SoCaiGas provided reductions based on 2014 and 2015 franchise fees. City can expect to lose approximately 65% or more in municipal surcharge revenue each year:

Legal Franchise Municipal Municipal % J u risd ictio n- Fee Surcharge Surcharge Difference/Loss Thousand Oaks Payment Collected 2014 $ 263,276.07 $132,256.40 $ 41,798.00 -68%

($90.454.40) 2015 $ 247,325.36 $ 83,879.86 $ 30,862.77 -63%

($53.017.09)

City did inquire with the CPUC Public Advisor on appeal options. Unfortunately, the City does not qualify for an appeal. The CPUC will only consider re-opening a case if:

1. The rule-making was not incompliance with existing law.

2. There was an extraordinary factor that has not been considered du ring rule-making.

None of these conditions apply to Rulemaking 4-03-16. The City of Thousand Oaks is not · the only city affected by reduced remittance.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Channel Counties Members:

Details on a State Budget deal started to emerge from Sacramento yesterday evening. First, here is the Senate's State Budget Report for your review. The report breaks down the major budgetary items vetted in the Senate.

Second, the Los Angeles Times and Sacramento Bee articles down below highlights more State budget details, including information on housing, cap and trade and budget reserves. Third, attached is a budgetary press release from Senate Pro Tempore Kevin De Leon.

The League is picking up intel that the Governor's By Right Housing proposal, which would severely limit local land use authority, "will be worked on over the next few months".

However with the Legislature's track record of taking up major issues at the 11th hour, the League is still requesting cities to send their letters and calls of opposition to their State Legislators asking them to not include this anti-local control proposal into the State budget.

The League will release it's own State budget analysis in the near future. As always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Gov. Jerry Brown and lawmakers strike budget deal, with new money for California 's housing woes (Los Angeles Times) . Gov. Jeny Brown and legislative leaders reached an agreement Th\U'sday on a new budget to fund state government, a proposal highlighted by $400 million in lowincome housing subsidies and new efforts on child care and higher education.

The plan is scheduled to receive its first public vetting by the Legislature's budget conference committee Thursday evening. A formal vote by both the state Senate and Assembly would come later, though the timing remains unclear. California's new fiscal year begins July I.

The housing proposal, according to administration sources who had been briefed on the details, ties the money to decreased regulations on homebuilders as well as increased spending on child care services.

Housing has been one of the most talked about issues during the spring budget season at the state Capitol. Brown has urged lawmakers to streamline the review process for building new housing units .

The deal builds on the governor's proposal. It requires Brown and lawmakers to agree on future legislation that would clear regulatory hurdles on homebuilders at the same time as opening the state's purse strings for housing subsidies to meet both the governor's desire to lessen burdens on developers and legislative Democrats' push for more housing dollars.

The agreement comes almost one week before the constitutional deadline for a new budget, an early compromise that's likely a sign of how few contentious issues there were between Brown and his fellow Democrats.

The governor had already moved toward legislators when revising his budget last month, agreeing to a $2-billion bond measure aimed at mental health needs for the homeless. Legislators in the meantime have embraced Brown's January proposal to divert an extra $2 billion into the state's cash reserve fund, an effort to cushion against any economic downturn that might be on the horizon. Both of those items are in the final agreement reached Thursday.

News of the expanded effort on child care programs for low-income families was welcomed by members of the Legislative Women's Caucus, which had made the issue its top priority.

"This is going to be the biggest appropriation in a decade," said Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia (D-Bell Gardens), the caucus's vice chairwoman. "We're trying to be progressive and think about the future."

As part of the budget deal, rates paid to state-subsidized child care providers are being ramped up to keep pace with California's increasing minimum wage. The extra funding is expected to total $500 million annually starting in 2019.

In addition, the budget would repeal a mle known as the maximum family grant, which prevents mothers from receiving additional benefits if they have another child while on welfare.

"It's been a long overdue process of eliminating a rule that everyone knew was unfair," said Chris Hoene, executive director of the California Budget & Policy Center, a nonprofit group that advocates for programs aimed at low-income families. "It's good news that they're fmally doing that"

On housing, the budget deal represents a promise to address priorities of both Democratic legislators and Brown.

Democrats in the Assembly had pushed for the new housing subsidies money as the state's affordability crisis has continued to spiral. Brown had resisted, saying subsidies didn't deliver enough bang for the buck. Instead, Brown proposed clearing some local regulatory hurdles for developers if they reserved some of the units in their projects for the poor.

The deal incorporates both demands, as the new housing money is contingent on lawmakers approving Brown's proposal at a later date.

In its current form, Brown's legislation aims to eliminate detailed local review for projects with at least 20% of their units set aside for low-income residents. For developments near public transit, the projects only need to have 1 0% of their units designated as affordable housing. To qualify for streamlined approval, all projects must meet underlying zoning requirements. Local governments would still give detailed review to projects that aim to build more units than currently planned on specific parcels of land.

California budget deal builds reserve, changes welfare rule (Sacramento Bee)

Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature have reached agreement on a budget for the coming fiscal year that repeals a long-criticized rule limiting welfare payments for people who have more children, as well as making an optional $2 billion deposit into the state's rainy-day reserve as a hedge against an economic downturn in the near future, according to administration sources.

The $122.2 billion general fund pact includes $100 million more for child care development programs. Talks continue, meanwhile, on ways to increase housing affordability, with $400 million in one-time money for various affordable housing programs tied to lawmakers' agreeing to ease local land-use rules for developments that include affordable housing.

Similarly, the administration and lawmakers will continue to talk about programs paid for out of the state's cap-and-trade program, which is clouded in fiscal uncertainty. The most recent auction yielded far less money than previous auctions.

After years of unsuccessful attempts, abolishing the maximwn family grant rule emerged as a budget priority this year for legislative leaders, the legislative women's caucus, and advocates for the poor, who took to Twitter with frequent #RepealMFG posts.

Page 4 of5

Ending the rule, which prohibits increases in assistance for any child born into a family that had been receiving aid for at least the I 0 previous months, will cost the state an estimated $100 million in the first year. The cost will shift to a child poverty account in subsequent years, an approach crafted by an Assembly budget subconunittee earlier this year.

Details of the pact emerged as the Legislature's budget-writing committee, which last met a week ago, was set to convene late Thursday to begin acting on the different components of package. The session follows days of closed-door negotiations between legislative leaders and administration officials.

The agreement, several days before Wednesday's constitutional deadline for the Legislature to pass a spending plan for the year beginning July I, marks an earlierthan-usual settling of budget differences between the Democrat-controlled Legislature and Brown's office. Last June, the Legislature first approved its own spending plan before negotiations yielded a final agreement with Brown.

Talks on a budget package picked up after Gov. Jerry Brown released his revised spending plan May 13. The Assembly and Senate soon produced their own budgets and last week a conference committee began reconciling differences between the houses' proposals while leaders worked to hash out a fmal deal with Brown's office.

Here are some of the main issues where Brown and lawmakers came to terms.

• Affordable Housing: Brown and lawmakers have been on the same page to borrow against the state's 1 percent mental health services tax on millionaires to help build affordable housing for the mentally ill. But neither house embraced Brown's "by right" zoning proposal to limit local government's land-use authority over proposed developments that include affordable housing. Similarly, neither Brown nor the Senate had signed on to the Assembly plan to spend $650 million on various affordable housing programs.

Negotiations continue on the housing package, with a possible package of$400 million in one-time affordable housing money and the "by right" changes sought by Brown.

• Cap-and-trade: Recent budgets have paid for high-speed rail, healthy forest, water efficiency and other programs with revenue from the state's cap-and-trade program, with almost $3.1 billion in cap-and-trade spending in Brown's revised budget.

But the program has been thrown into uncertainty after the latest auction of pollution credits yielded just $10 million, a fraction ofthe more than $500 million generated by previous auctions. The Legislature's nonpartisan fiscal analyst has warned that the state might collect much less cap~and-trade money in the coming fiscal year.

Talks continue on the cap-and~trade provisions of the budget.

• Reserves: Brown wants lawmakers to sock away more money for an economic downturn, and called for an optional $2 billion contribution to the rainy-day reserve created by Proposition 2, the constitutional amendment approved by voters in 2014. The Assembly took the same approach but the Senate did not. The final deal includes the supplemental $2 billion transfer to the Proposition 2 reserve.

" Is it going to be a hard sell? Yeah," Brown said last month of his proposal. "I'm going to be pretty resolute on this budget. I want people to know that. We do need reserves."

• Jail construction: Brown's budget included $250 million from the general fund for local jail construction. But the governor's proposal, which came as Brown champions a November ballot measure to make some felons eligible for parole, found little support from lawmakers. Both the Assembly and Senate plans diverted the money to other programs, such as mental health and substance abuse treatment, law enforcement training, and reducing teen pregnancies. Thursday's pact includes $270 million for jail construction, funded by lease revenue bonds instead of the general fund. The compromise disappointed some criminal-justice advocates. "Really disappointed to see $270 mil in funding for new jail construction," Natasha Minsker of the ACLU posted on Twitter.

• Child care: Brown's revised budget included $3.6 billion for child care and development programs. The Assembly plan went further, increasing child care funding by $619 million to add 10,000 preschool slots, expand income eligibility, raise provider rates and other enhancements. The Senate plan increased child care funding by $101 million, with smaller increases in reimbursement rates and other changes.

The final agreement includes $100 million to help pay for child care provider rate increases driven by increases in the state's minimum wage. There also are some additional preschool slots.

• Office infrastructure: Brown wants to put $1.5 billion in a new fund to pay for three state building projects in the capital, including the renovation or replacement of the state Capitol Annex. The Assembly allocated $375 million over four years. The Senate transferred $1 billion to the endeavor, and includes $10 million in the coming year to pay for planning and design.

Thursday's agreement includes $1.3 billion for the plan, with the money continuously appropriated. Details have yet to emerge about what might happen with the annex, which houses the governor's suite as well as most lawmakers' offices.

Local Tax and Bond Measure Results California ·:· June 2016

Along with one statewide measure (Proposition 50), the Presidential Primary election in California on June 7 included over 150 local measures. Among these were 89 ballot questions proposing new revised or extended local bonds or taxes. Local schools requested a total of $6.12 billion in school construction bond authorizations in 46 individual measures. Three cities sought a total of $442 million in bonds including a $350 million seismic safety bond in San Francisco, a library bond in Santa Cruz County and a roadway and storm drain repair measure in Orinda.

Overall Passage Rates Based on election night counts with 100% of all precincts reporting, 70 of the 89 tax and bond measures have passed. Several others are too close to call. AU majority vote city tax proposals passed except perhaps one: a one percent sales tax measure in Compton that currently is too close to call at 49.5% yes. All seven school parcel tax measures passed and 41 out of 46 school bonds were approved.

Six cities and two counties proposed general purpose majority vote add-on sales tax rates ranging from% percent to one percent. Both county measures failed, including the Solano County Measure H which had a companion advisory measure indicating that, if approved, the proceeds should be used for transportation improvements. Compton's Measure Pis failing narrowly is too close to call. Other city measures passed.

Voters in Glendale soundly rejected an attempt by a citizen group to repeal the city's Utility User tax (7% on water, cable TV, gas and electricity, 6.5% on telecommunications). In response to a citizen petition the city council placed the repeal measure on the ballot, with this ballot question: "Shall the City's longstanding utility users tax be repealed, eliminating approximately 9.5% of the revenues in the City's general fund annually ($17.5 million this year) that is used to pay for city services such as police, fire, 9-1-1 emergency response, libraries, parks and senior services?"

Some Historical Context The number and proportion of successful local revenue measures this election was higher than previous primary elections. This may be due in part to the larger number of tax extensions compared to increases.

Local Revenue Measures June 2016 - 10- Preliminary Results Pending Final Tallies

Other Measures of Note

• Appointed City Treasurer. Voters in Antioch turned down a measure to make the currently elected position of city treasurer instead appointed by the city council as in many other cities.

• Home sharing regulat ion. A referendum to apply more restrictive home-sharing business regulations in Nevada City failed.

• Lease revenue bond vote requirement. A citizen initiative to require a vote for lease revenue financing was rejected in Half Moon Bay. A similar statewide measure applying to certain state revenue bonds will be on the ballot in November.

• State of Jefferson. 58% of voters in Lassen County rejected Measure G, an advisory measure on the formation of a State of Jefferson with other northern California and Southern Oregon counties. The measure had been placed on the ballot on a 3-2 split vote of the Lassen County Board of Supervisors. In June 2014, voters in Del Norte (58%) and Siskiyou (55%) counties said "no" to similar measures while 57% of Tehama county voters said "yes" to secession.

• Term Limits. Voters in Orange Unified School District approved a term limits measure .

Committee:

To our Local Officials,

Page 1 of 1

The Local Govermnent Relations Committee has been very busy this first half of the year. We want to share with you what local issues we are currently concentrating on. Since it's an election year the first issue we have been considering is the SOAR initiative and the Sustain VC initiative. Our committee has been discussing these ballot measures and is looking to sponsor educational events to discuss them prior to the election. The second issue has been to engage with local water districts on how we can support them and help them obtain water for all of our communities in the future. We are again looking at what position we might take and then sharing that with all of our elected officials. It would seem that all of our efforts together will make it easier to solve our water issues. The third local issue is affordable housing. This has become something that each community and or city have tried to address. It is somewhat complex since each City and County has different programs or idea of what affordable housing should be or how it should be addressed. Who can benefit. Where it can be built. If the housing will be available to all or be directed at one incoine group or in some cases profession. We have had in-depth discussions at the committee level. We hope to have a position which will be approved by our board of directors for our membership on all of these issues that affect all of us. We will share those with you in the coming weeks and months. As always if anyone would like to discuss any of the above, or some other issue that we may help with~ please feel free to contact us directly.

Greetings special friends of CRPO, Being that I'm awake going over thoughts as to what I'll say at this event in Malibu this morning, I thought I'd share with you another opportunity I have through the MRCA to give exposure to CRPD/Thousand Oaks to a broader audience.

On Memorial Day morning I had a similar opportunity in Elysian Valley at thetA River's MRCA Marsh Park (Near Dodger Stadium) at the Seasonal Opening of the tA River MRCA Recreational Zones (Elysian Valley & the Sepulveda Dam Basin). I spoke as part of a press conference with LA City Councilman Mitch O'Farrell & a Lt. Col with the Army Corps of Engineers. Again more exposure for our local CRPD.

I look forward to seeing you all at your last Council meeting this month in conjunction with July being National Parks Month.

George CRPD BOD PS: IF local kayaking is of interest to anyone, t can arrange for you to join in with the MRCA on a kayaking paddle later this summer in the Sepulveda Dam Basin. Just let me know.

Public Beach Stairway to Open in Heart of Malibu New access to about a mile of Malibu Colony Beach just in time for summer

What: Ribbon cutting for a new public access stairway to Malibu Colony Beach

When: Tuesday, June 14, 2016, 11:00 a.m.

Where: 24038 Malibu Roadl about % mile west of Webb Way

Who: Sam Schuchat, Executive Director, California State Coastal Conservancy Jack Ainsworth, Acting Director, California Coastal Commission Irma Munoz, Chair, Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Hon. George Lange, Chair, Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority

After many years of effort, a ribbon·cutting ceremony on Tuesday will celebrate the opening of a new million-dollar public stairway to Malibu Colony Beach in the heart of Malibu.

The stairway descends 30 feet from the road to the beach. At low tides, it will open about one mile of the Amarillo and Malibu Colony beaches to the public. The nearest developed public accessway to Malibu beaches is a stairway located about one-third mile to the west.

Intrepid beachgoers-many carrying surfboards or kayaks-have long found their own way to the beach by scrambling down the nearly vertical bluff at the site. Other visitors have preferred to enjoy the view at the top.

The Coastal Conservancy acquired the 1 00-foot-wide site in 2002 and immediately began work to design and build a stairway. The design had to deal with such issues as public safety, seismic stability, and day-to-day management, along with the concerns of neighboring homeowners over privacy and trespass.

The Coastal Conservancy provided more than $1 million for the stairway's design and construction. About half the funding came from Proposition 84, a water, parks, and wildlife bond act approved by state voters in 2006, and half from permit violation fees collected by the California Coastal Commission.

The Coastal Conservancy transferred the stairway site to the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy in 2014. The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority oversaw the stairway's construction, which began in March 2016, and will operate and manage the stairway.

The Coastal Conservancy has endeavored to provide maximum public access to Malibu Beaches for decades. Despite many obstacles, the MRCA is currently developing nine additional vertical beach accessways in Malibu partnership with the Coastal Conservancy, the Coastal Commission, and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy.

The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority is a local public park agency dedicated to the preservation and management of open space, urban parkland, watershed lands, trails, and wildlife habitat. The MRCA manages more than 73,000 acres of public parkland and provides natural resources and scientific expertise, critical regional planning services, operations, fire prevention and ranger setVices, as well as education and leadership programs for thousands of youth each year. It is one of the lead agencies revitalizing the Los Angeles River and its tributaries.

Beginning Monday, June 20, 2016, the East County location of the Ventura County Clerk and Recorder's Office will relocate to Suite A in Thousand Oaks City Hall at the Civic Arts Plaza, 2100 East Thousand Oaks Boulevard. The office previously shared space with the Thousand Oaks City Clerk's Office. Business hours are Monday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The City/County collaboration began as a part-time pilot project in August 2013 to provide convenient access to East County residents seeking official record document and related services. Due to customer demand, business days were expanded from two to four days per week over the next two years.

Ventura County Clerk and Recorder Mark Lunn stated, "Our pilot project in collaboration with the Thousand Oaks City Clerk's Office has been so successful that we outgrew our space in the City Clerk's Office. " In 2016 , nearly 8,000 customers are expected to conduct business at the East County Office. The new location, formerly occupied by the CBC Federal Credit Union, is approximately 1 ,200 square feet and will allow for expanded services to include wedding ceremonies and election-related services later this year.

The Clerk and Recorder issues marriage licenses (by appointment), processes fictitious business name filings, notary registrations and clerk certificates. In addition, they record real property documents, and issue certified copies of birth, death and marriage records at the East County location. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (805) 449-2157. Additional information is available online at www.venturaclerkrecorder.org.

Cutting the Cost o/ Parking Requirements

A < ( E S S

DONAlD SHOUP

A city wrz be friemtly to people or it can be friendly to cars. but it ca12 't be botlt.

Enrique P~rialosa

A tthe dawn of the automobile age. suppose Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller had hired you to devise policies to increase the demand Cor cars and gasoline. What

planning regulations would make a car the obvious choice for most travel? First, segregate land uses (housing here, jobs there, shopping somewhere else) to increase travel demand. Second, limit dens:ity at every site to spread the city, further increasing travel demand. Third, require

ample off-street parking everywhere, making cars the default way to travel. American cities have unwisely embraced ea~:h of these car· friendly policies, Juring people

into cars for 87 percent of their daily trips. Zoning ordinances that segregate land uses, limit

density, and require lots of parking create drivable cities but prevent walkable neighborhoods. Urban historians often say that cars have changed cities, but planning polkies have also changed cities to favor cars over other forms o.f transportation.

Minimum parking requirements create especially severe problems. In The Higlt Cost of

Free Parking, I argued that parking requirements subsidize cars, increase h·affic congestion and

carbon emissions, pollute the air and water. encourage sprawl, raise housing costs. degrade urban design, reduce walkability, damage the economy, and exclude poor people. To my knowledge, no city planner has argued that parking requirements do not have these harmful

effects. Instead, a flood of recent research has shown they do have these effects. We are poisoning our cities with too much parking.

Minimum parking requirements are almost an established religion in the planning profession. Ooe shouldn't criticize anyone else's religion but, when it comes to parking requirements, I'm a protestant and I think the profession needs a reformation.

The (Gnstruction Cost of a Parking Space

•

THe: MEOIAN 15 THE MESSAGE

Cilies n::quire parking for every building wilhuul considering how lht! required spaces

place a heavy burden on pom· people. A single parking space, however, can cost far more to

build than the net worth of many American households.

In recent research, I estimated that the average con~truction cost (excluding land cost) for

parking structures in 12 American cities in 2012 was $24,000 per space for aboveground parking,

and $34,000 per space for underground parking (Table 1).

By compa1ison. in 2011 the median net worth (the value of assets minu~ debts) was only

$7,700 for Hispanic households and $6,300 fm· Black households in the United States (Figure 1).

One l:lpace in a parking structure therefore costs at least three times the net worth of more than

halt of all Hispanic and Black households in the country. Nevertheless, cities require several

parking spaces per household by requiting them at home, work, stores, restaurants, churches,

schools, and everywhere else.

Many families have a negative net worth because their debts exceed their assets: 18 percent

of all households, 29 percent of Hispanic household~. and :~4 percent of Black households had

zero or negative net worth in 20ll (Figure 2). The only way these- indebkd peovle can use the

required parking spaces is to brry a car, which they often must finance at a high, subprime interest

rare. In a misguided attempt w provide rree parking for everyone. cities have created a se1ious

economic injustice by forcing developers to build parking spaces that many people can ill afford.

Urban t>lanners cannot do much to counter the inequality of wealth in the US, but they can

help to refonn parkin!{ requirements that place heavy burdens on minotities and the poor.

Simple parking reforms may be city planners' cheapest, fastest, and easiest way ro achieve a more just society. >

PUTTING A CAP ON PARKING REQUIREMENTS

Off-street parking requirements increase the cost and reduce the supply of affordable

housing. Most cities do not intend to exclude low-income residents when they require o!f-street

parking. but even good intentions can produce bad results. Thoughtless planning for parking can

be as harmful as a perverse and deliberate scheme.

Perhaps because of growing doubts about parking requirements, a few cities have begun

to reduce or remove them, at least in their downtowns. Planners and elected officials are beginning to recognize that parking requirements increase the cost of housing, prevent inlill

development on small lots where it is difficult to build all the required parking, and prohibit new

uses for older buildings that lack the required parking spaces.

Alx:ording lo recent newspaper articles, some o[ Lht! reasons dlies have reduced or

removed their parking requirements include "to promote the creation of downtown apartments"

(Greenfield, Mal:;sachuselts). "to see more affordable housing" (l'vtiami). ''to mtel the needs

of smaller businesses'' (Muskegon, Michigan). ''to give business owners more flexibility while

creating a vibrant downtown" (Sandpoint, Idaho), and "to prevent ugly, auto-oriented town

houses" (Seattle).

Given this polil:y momentum. f thought the time to reform parking requirements in

Caliltlrnia had arrived when the legislature considered Assembly Rill 904 (the Sustainable

Minimum Parking RequiremenU> Act of 2012). AB 904 would have set an upper limit on how

much ~arking cities can require in transit-rich districts: no mort' than m1c space per dwelling unit

or two spaces per 1,000 square (eet of cmnmerdal space, 'the biU deli ned these disllicls as areas

within a quarter mile of tran:sitlioes that run every 15 minutes or better.lf pa~ed it would have

been a huge boon for both housing and transit.

l11t~re arc ,l(ood reasons to adopt this policy. Federal and slate govt:rnmcnts g-ive cities

billions of dollars every year to build aurl operale mass transit :;ys~ms, yet most citit:s requil'e

ample parking everywhere on the assumption that nearly everyone will drive (or almosl every

trip. Minimum parking requirements counteract all these transit investments.

For example. Los Angeles is building its Subway to the Sea under Wilshire Boulevard,

which already boast~ the city's most fn:quent bu~ service. Nevertheless, along parts ofWilshire

tht· city n.!qu.lrt'S allea:;t 2.5 parking :;pares for each dwdling unit, regardless of the numb~r of

moms. Similarly, 20 public trWlsit lines serve the UCLA campus near Wilshire Boulevard in

Westwood, with lJ 9 buses per hour arriving during the morning peak. Neverthd~:i, acro:..'S the

:>tre~:t fwm campus, Los Angeles requires 3.5 parking space!! for every apartment that contains

more than four rooms. We have expensive housing for people but we want free parking for cars.

Also on Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills requires 22 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet

tor r~slaurants, which means the parking lot is seven times larger lhan the restaurant it serves.

Public transit in thi~ nver-parked environment resembles a rowboat in the desert.

Cities seem willing to pay aoy price and bear any burden to as.<~ure the survival oJ free

parkins;. But do people really wanl free parking more than affordable housing, cleru1 air, walkcible

neighborhoods, good urban de1>ign, and many olher [.)ublh; goals? A city where everyo\l{: happily

pays for everyone else's free parking is a fool's paradise.

W'HV CAP PARKING REQlJfFIEME,\IfS?

Minimum parking requirements create an asphalt wasteland that blights lhe environment.

A powerful force field of free pa~king encourages everyone to drive everywhere. A cap on parking

requirements in transit-rich neighborhoods can reduce this parking blight by making parking

light development feasible.

How will reducing off-street parking requirementl; aHed devdopmenl? Zhan Guo and Sbuai

Ren at New York University studied the results when London shifted from minimum parking

requirements with no maximum, to maximum parking limits with no minimum. Comparing

developments completed before and after the refom1 in 2004, they found that the parking

supplied after the reform was only 52 percent of the previous minimum required and only

68 percent oi the new maximum allowed. This result implies that the previous minimum was

almost double the number of parking spaces that developers would have voluntatily provided.

Guo and Ren concluded that removing the parking minimum caused 98 pt>,rcent of the reduction

in parking spaces, while imposing the max:imum caused only 2 percent of the resulting reduction.

Rt:movin~ the minimum had a far grt>ater e.ffect than imposing a maximum.

Cities usually require or restrict parking without considering the middle ground of

neither a minimum nor a maximum. Thi~ behavior recalls a Soviet maxim: "What is not required

mu~t be prohibited.'' AB 904, however. was something new. It would not have restricted parking

but instead would have imposed a cap on minimum parking requirements. a far milder reform.

A cap on how much parking dti~::,; can require will not limit lht: p~rkinR supply because

developers can always provide more parking than the ?.:oning requires if they think market

demand jw;t.ines the cost.

There are precedent~ for placing limits on parkin~ requirements. Oregon's Transportation

Systems Plan n.~quires local governments to amend their land-use and :subdivision regulations

to at:hicvt: a 10 percenl reduction in the number oi parking spat·(:s per capita. The Unitt:d

Ki.ngdom·s transport polil:y guidelines for local planning specify that "plans should slate

maximum levels of parking tor broad classes of development ... 1l1ere should be oo minimum

standards for developmt:nl, other lhan parking for disablt:d people:' >

Affordable housing advocates initially O[>posed AB 744 because it would have capped the

parking requirement~ fnr all housing in transiL-ril.:h an:as. Another California law (SH Ulli!)

already reduces the parking requirements for developments that include some affordable units.

Reducing the parking requirements for all housing would therefore dilute Lhc existing incentive

to include affordable units in market-rate developments. Confining AB 744's parkinjl redud:ion

to affordable housing was therefore necessary to gain potiti<.:al support from the aJ'fordable

housing advocates, even though a cap on parking requirement~ for aU housing would increase

the supply and reduce the price of housing with11ul any subsidy.

Statewide caps on parking requirements may be difficult to impose in the face of the

requirements aear transit would probably not have been enact~d. Until more people recognize

that parking requirements cause widespread damage, one way to increast: political supporr for

a cap on parking requirements is to use it as an in<.:entive for building affordable housing. This

approach. however, may then lead affordable housing advocates to oppose any general rt:duction

AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE

divorce lawyers where the relationship betwet-:n people and cars no Iunger works well.

Like the automobile itself, parking is a good servant but a bad master. Parking $hould be

friendly-easy to find, easy to use, and easy to pay for-but cities should not require or subsidize

parking. Cities will look and work much better when markets rather than planners and politicians

govern decisions about the number of parking spaces. Putting a cap on parking requirements

California's Local Tax and Bond Measure Results June 2016

Along with one statewide measure (Proposition 50), the Presidential Primary election in California on June 7 included over 150 local measures. Among these were 89 ballot questions proposing new revised or extended local bonds or taxes. Local schools requested a total of $6.1817 billion in school construction bond authorizations in 46 individual measures. Three cities sought a total of $442 million in bonds including a $350 million seismic safety bond in San Francisco, a library bond in Santa Cruz County and a roadway and storm drain repair measure in Orinda.

Based on election night counts with 1 oo percent of all precincts reporting, 70 of the 89 tax and bond measures have passed. Several others are too close to call. All majority vote city tax proposals passed except perhaps one: a one percent sales tax measure in Compton that currently is too close to call at 49.5 percent yes. All seven school parcel tax measures passed and 41 out of 46 school bonds were approved.

'Court- Overtime Pay' Continued from Page 1 ...

The FLSA requires covered employers to compensate employees at one and one-half times their "regular rate" of pay for all overtime hours. The regular rate is defined by FLSA regulations as the hourly rate of renumeration paid to employees for the normal, nonovertime workweek, except for certain categories of pay that are specifically excluded.

The city argued that its cash-in-lieu payments fell within excluded categories but the Ninth Circuit Court disagreed. The court found the cash-in-lieu payments to be different from other payments which are not made as compensation for hours of employment- such as vacation or holiday payments, or payments for travel or other expense reimbursements -and held that it is not necessary for the payments to be tied to the actual hours worked or the amount of service provided to be considered compensation for purposes of calculating the regular rate of pay. The court further concluded the payments do not fit within the exclusion for "contributions irrevocably made by an employer to a trustee or third person pursuant to a bona fide plan for providing ... health insurance or similar benefits for employee."

After finding the cash-in-lieu payments were improperly excluded from the regular rate of pay, the court went on to find that the exclusion was "willful," therefore entitling the officers to three years of back overtime pay, instead of two, plus liquidated damages. The court based its willfulness finding on the fact that the city did not take any affirmative action to determine whether its exclusion of cash-in-lieu benefits complied with the FLSA.

Although this ruling may be appealed, cities that provide cash payments to their employees in lieu of health benefits should consider asking their city attorney to review their payroll practices in light of the court's ruling in this case.

'CCS: Irvine' Continued from Page 1 .. .

For over a decade, the city of Irvine has outsourced internal mail service delivery with Project Independence, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting independence for the developmentally disabled. Project Independence provides an example of an internal administrative success story. Through continued assessment and management, this unique program highlights the ability of local government to provide economic and efficient service delivery through compassion, promoting an internal culture of acceptance and understanding. Project Independence reflects the city of Irvine's efforts to be a disability friendly community including access to jobs, education, housing and the entire range of cultural and recreational activities.

The city's mail center is a key service function that operates within the city clerk's division, a section of the city manager's department. On an annual basis, the city's mail delivery team is responsible for the delivery of approximately 120,000 pieces of incoming mail, 20,000 pieces of interoffice mail, and 2,000 packages and parcels. With the advance of technology, traditional U.S. Postal Service mail service usage has declined. However, the city's volume of mail remains high because of the 39 percent increase in the city's population over the past ten years, and the growing volume of larger parcels with the expanded use of online services and greater logistics provided by shippers such as FedEx, UPS and the U.S. Postal Service.

Irvine had previously outsourced mail center services, which resulted in high consultant turnover, increasing complaints, inconsistent job performance and a need for direct supervision. Critical

2

mail and packages often include time sensitive materials, checks, escrow documents and agreements. Misplacing and/or mishandling critical mail can severely impact city operations. The tumover of consultant staff was increasingly problematic, requiring recruitments and subsequent trainings on a continual basis . More than 45 consultants were hired during a five-year period, resulting in inconsistent performance and poor service deliverables. Once it was determined that a change in operations needed to occur, the city performed a focused research and evaluation process, and determined that the best solution for mail services would be a hybrid option, combining city oversight with outsourced services.

Irvine requires departments to run both efficiently and economically, with an emphasis on customer service. Through the analysis of mail center operations, a hybrid solution was developed that not only addressed efficient and economical management processes but also provided outstanding customer service and efficiency in service delivery that were unprecedented in this segment of city operations.

Project Independence is an Orange County based nonprofit with a mission to "to promote civil rights for people with developmental disabilities through services which expand independence and choice." The organization carries out its mission through its creation of employment opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities by providing support and training to employees and employers. Through the partnership between the city and Project Independence, teams of mail clerks were organized to perform mail delivery tasks for the city. This turned out to be highly successful, both by efficiently performing essential tasks and by providing a variety of benefits for program participants and the city as a whole.

Through this collaborative program, all city mail is delivered and picked up by a team of mail clerks comprised of adults with developmental disabilities. This team is supported by city staff members and skilled Project Independence job coaches. While the mail team includes adults with developmental disabilities such as autism, cerebral palsy and Down syndrome, the focus is on the abilities the team currently owns. In its daily service of 23 mail stops at city hall and 22 satellite facilities, the mail team displays the ability to provide accurate service while multitasking to ensure that daily goals are met. Job coaches drive the teams to the satellite facilities in vans that are provided and maintained by Project Independence. In 2014, mail delivery staff logged over 13,000 miles delivering mail for the city.

Irvine's mail delivery team consists of two groups of four part-time mail clerks, one working in the morning and the other in the afternoon. The morning team is comprised of the Project Independence Community Day Service Program, which offers employees a higher level of support from job coaches. The afternoon team consists of employees from the Project Independence Supported Employment Program. This program is for employees who are able to work independently with occasional support from job coaches. Although different, both groups of employees have showed great ability to successfully fulfill the city's mail delivery needs, with very few employee performance issues.

Continual communication and collaboration between city staff overseeing mail operations and Project Independence staff has virtually eliminated turnover in the city's mail delivery operations saving time and money that is normally dedicated to training new staff. The city's lead mail coordinator works with Project Independence job coaches and supervisors in a biannual performance appraisal of each mail clerk, allowing the city's feedback on employee performance and individual goal setting.

Project Independence has proved to be an invaluable collaborator resulting in outstanding operational outcomes. The combination of efficient business practices and an immeasurable and intangible human value is indicative of the positive Influence local government can provide in its daily operations. Through this program, the mail teams are encouraged and ultimately develop high self-esteem, Independence, and an enhanced quality of life. This collaboration has become a model of inclusiveness, enriching both the mail teams and their customers (city employees) whose demonstrated acceptance and encouragement provides a winning combination for mail center operations.

Through the value and empowerment of employment and encouragement of independent living, Project Independence focuses on what their employees can do, rather than what they cannot do.

The League of California Cities® has opened registration for its 2016 Annual Conference & Expo, being held on Oct. 5-7 in Long Beach. City Clerks can also register for a workshop that specifically covers the California P4blic Records Act (CPRA). The workshop is being held Wednesday, Oct. 5 from 10 a.m.-2:30p.m.

View this year's conference schedule to read the great line-up of sessions and networking opportunities available for attendees. For more information, check out the annual conference announcement with session information.

City Clerks Workshop: The California Public Records Act

The California Public Records Act (CPRA), established in 1968, requires public inspection and disclosure of government records upon request unless otherwise exempted by law. Almost half a century later, the traditional view of the CPRA is being challenged. Instant access to information is seen not only as the right of an individual but a broader expectation of modern day society. In a world where human interactions are electronically recorded and Instantly available in real-time, reevaluation of CPRA views is prudent and necessary to ensure government maintains pace with the community it serves. Explore the historical, legal and social applications of the CPRA, and to identify challenges and opportunities.

This workshop requires additional registration of $150 per member city or $300 per non-member city. The workshop begins with a business meeting from 10-10:30 a.m. followed by the four- hour workshop, and includes lunch.

A Push for Civic Education

The Annen berg Foundation recently found that only a third of all adult respondents to a national survey could name all three branches of the federal government. Of the college graduates surveyed, 10 percent thought Judge Judy is a member of the United States Supreme Court. Research studies and media editorials bemoan the decreasing lack of even fundamental civic awareness of our citizenry and how this weakens our democratic institutions.

5

This trend is particularly unfortunate for our communities because an increasing body of research also shows that citizen interconnectness and community cohesion is the single biggest contributor to resiliency of our communities from natural and man-made disasters. Civic connectedness and a feeling of "belonging" brought about through civic engagement can lessen the likelihood of civil unrest that city officials may occasionally have to deal. As our people's mistrust of government, income inequities and social alienation from our communities and institutions grows this situation require a civic renewal in our country. Such civic renewal can only be achieved by a focus on civic education that must reach beyond the brief few hours of academic time now allotted to studying government in California classrooms. New generations of Americans will have to be taught in new ways the civic lessons necessary for productive citizenship.

"A Push for Civic Education," in the June issue of the International City/County Management Association's PM magazine, provides a pragmatic prescription for improving the civic health of our communities through restoring our focus on civic education. Practices that increase civic awareness are plentiful and diverse in American communities and should be an area of increasing significance to managers and elected officials alike. Advocating the use of both a number of traditional and newer digital civic education solutions available to local government leaders the authors believe we can reverse this trend of growing civic illiteracy. These practices range from traditional student in government days to modern digital games simulating election campaigns to platforms that increase the access to civic information and public officials. Providing an overview of digital civic platforms available and examples of where practices are employed in California and around the country the article is appropriate for distribution to elected officials, civic groups and organizations to create a coalition of civic, educational and governmental partners.

California cities and counties are entering a new era of technology assisted civic engagement and education. However our success will depend on the historic role for managers and elected officials to exercise their influence and personally get involved to mend the civic fabric of our communities. With the exception of classroom teachers few professionals are bettered positioned to facilitate civic education than those of us in local government leadership.

On a daily basis, the mail teams assigned to the city of Irvine learn the value of pride in one's work, the value of dedication and loyalty and the value of comradeship and acceptance. Often, those with intellectual disabilities feel isolated and different. Through collaborative programs such as Project Independence, those who face daily challenges can find fulfillment and purpose. City employees have been accepting of this program and admire the courage and dedication of its mail teams, finding inspiration in their determination to lead fulfilling lives under difficult circumstances.

The city's partnership with Project Independence for mail delivery services has resulted in many supplementary benefits. In addition to providing an essential service, city employees have the opportunity to work in a diverse and inclusive work place, and to interact with a unique group of people that they might not have otherwise encountered. This level of integrative management has fostered a great source of pride for this unique program, one that will hopefully be modeled and shared with other municipalities.

League-Sponsored Bond Agency Issues $15.6 Million in Tax-Exempt Bonds for Affordable Housing Project in San Jose

Some of the most significant benefits of League membership for cities since 1988 have flowed from the League's co-sponsorship of the California Statewide Communities Development Authority (CSCDA).

This program provides a variety of public agencies and developers access to low-cost, taxexempt financing and economic development tools. CSCDA recently issued a total of $15,600,00 in tax-exempt multifamily housing bonds for the Courtyard Plaza Apartments in San Jose.

About Courtyard Plaza Apartments

Courtyard Plaza Apartments (Courtyard Plaza) is an acquisition and rehabilitation of 81 multifamily affordable housing apartments by Courtyard Community Partners, LP. The project sponsor is WNC & Associates, Inc. (WNC). Courtyard Plaza will continue to be 100 percent affordable and provide one and two-bedroom apartments to low-income residents in San Jose.

CSCDA and WNC partnered with California Bank & Trust to provide tax-exempt multifamily affordable housing bonds for Courtyard Plaza. The rehabilitation will include full exterior stucco replacement with accent siding, window, door and roof replacement Unit interiors will include new kitchen and bathroom cabinetry and counters, new tub/shower fixtures, and new flooring and appliances. Common areas will be improved with solar to offset energy load, the office and community room will be remodeled, and the two pool areas will be expanded to provide more lounging space. The financing of Courtyard Plaza will maintain the affordability of units for lowincome tenants for 55 years.

Background

CSCDA is a joint powers authority created in 1988 and is sponsored by the League of California Cities® and the California State Association of Counties. It was created by cities and counties for cities and counties. More than 500 cities, counties and special districts are program participants in CSCDA, which serves as their conduit issuer and provides access to efficiently finance locallyapproved projects. CSCDA has issued more than $50 billion in tax exempt bonds for projects that provide a public benefit by creating jobs, affordable housing, healthcare, infrastructure, schools and other fundamental services.

Conceptual State Budget Agreement Outlined Thursday Discussions to Continue over "By Right" Development Proposal; Governor Offers $400

Million in Exchange

On Thursday, June 9, the Budget Conference Committee met for a final hearing to close out the remaining items for the 2016-17 State Budget. The hearing followed several days of closed-door meetings between Gov. Jerry Brown, Senate President proTem Kevin de Leon (D-Los Angeles), and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood). While the agreement includes priorities of the Governor and Legislature, it also delays action on some big items. For more, see Page 2 .

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Cities for Workforce Health Wellness Talk Series Continues on June 16

City officials are invited to participate in the second of four well ness talks offered by Cities for Workforce Health, a League Partner-sponsored program designed to provide practical resources for cities on how to enhance their employees' health and wellbeing. The second Wellness Talk is scheduled for June 16 and will address best practices for using data to plan a program that supports the health and well-being of city employees. For more, see Page 3.

'State Budget' Continued from Page 1 ...

The tone overall was positive. The Governor achieved his objectives in planning for the next economic downturn with a $2 billion boost for the state's rainy day reserve and other agreements limiting new and ongoing spending. Speaker Rendon secured an additional $100 million for childcare and preschool programs; Senate proTem de Le6n's succeeded in his priority to build housing for the homeless (a proposal strongly supported by the League) by allowing some Proposition 63 mental health funds to be used to secure a $2 billion revenue bond; and the Legislative Women's Caucus won a repeal of the monetary limit on welfare payments for people who have more children while collecting welfare.

Overall, the budget agreement holds good news for cities. However, several of the items on which the legislature delayed action will require continued vigilance.

Housing

The Governor's "by right" housing proposal, which would limit public engagement, design and environmental review over affordable housing projects, was not approved. The Governor has offered $400 million in one-time funds for affordable housing in exchange for the Legislature approving the "by right" proposal. The Budget Conference Committee approved placeholder language that sets aside the $400 million while discussions continue.

Sacrificing public input, environmental analysis and focal control on important development projects statewide is bad policy, but trading it for a one-time $400 million appropriation would be ridiculous.

Several years ago the state eliminated redevelopment agencies, and with that over $1 billion annually for affordable housing. That money is gone. Also gone are the proceeds of the last state housing bond which passed ten years ago. The federal government has been backing out of funding affordable housing since the 1980s. This massive withdraw of resources has contributed to our current challenges, yet no significant source of ongoing affordable housing funding is on the horizon. Also, while the state budget has flourished in recent years due to infusions of income tax, local agencies have not experienced similar revenue growth. Many local general plans are out of date because communities simply do not have the funds to complete such reviews.

Eliminating opportunities for public review of these major development projects goes against the principles of local democracy and public engagement. A public hearing allows interested members of the community to inform the decision-makers of their support or opposition to the project and guarantees that property rights will not be impacted without due process. Good design enables a new structure to match a community's character. While it may be frustrating for some developers to address neighborhood concerns about traffic, parking and other development impacts, those directly affected by such projects have a right to be heard. Public engagement can also lead to better projects. Not having such outlets will increase public distrust in government and more ballot measures.

Furthermore, the Administration's proposal to undermine state environmental policies and laws in such an aggressive manner is both surprising and ill considered. While the Coastal Act, California Environmental Quality Act and other laws have their critics, most would acknowledge that they have also made positive contributions to California's prized quality of life that has attracted nearly 39 million people. If there are issues with such laws then they should be addressed in a straightforward fashion as opposed to structuring proposals that pretend they do not exist.

Many laws related to housing planning and approvals are also on the books. Local governments are already required to approve housing if the project is consistent with the general plan and zoning ordinance. Exceptions to this rule are very limited, but what we can't skip are public transparency and environmental laws.

A much better approach to expediting development would be to offer incentives that can actually help local communities struggling to accommodate higher densities and new development, such as:

2

• Establishing a state revolving fund that can be used to update specific plans and complete up-front environmental reviews on targeted housing sites adjacent to transit, etc. Such a process would allow for community engagement and environmental analysis. Following that, development on those parcels would be expedited via laws already on the books;

• Rewarding local agencies that approve higher density housing in designated areas by helping it "pencil out" against service costs by shifting 1 0 percent of the increased property tax accruing from the approved development to the approving city or county;

• Developing a state-local matching funding program for infill development-related infrastructure that more adequately fills the gaps in urban renewal tools left by the loss of redevelopment; and

• Establishing a real, substantial and ongoing source of affordable housing funding.

Locking-out community residents from city hall because of concerns of what they may have to say about development in their communities is antithetical to local democracy. While $400 million may sound to some like significant funding, it would only result in the equivalent of approximately 2,000 housing units statewide. Moreover, many jurisdictions would not even benefit from the allocation, even though they would be required to implement the "by right" proposal.

Concerned city officials should contact their legislators, and make sure their residents are aware as well.

law Enforcement Grants

The budget will also include $20 million for local law enforcement grants. This funding was previously thought to be in peril, as legislators raised concerns and apprehension about providing a fifth year of funding for what was supposed to be a three-year appropriation. Last year, raising similar concerns, the Legislature tied the funding to specific uses. Until language is available, it unclear if those same restrictions will be in place for the 2016-17 Fiscal Year.

Cap and Trade

The Legislature raised concerns about the uncertainty of future Cap and Trade funding, as there is a pending court case challenging the funds and the most recent auction resulted In much lower-than-expected revenues. As a result, the budget deal does not include any ?~dditional Cap and Trade revenue allocations beyond the already continuously appropriated programs and funding to cover administrative positions. The continuously appropriated programs include:

• 20 percent to the Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities; • 1 0 percent to Transit & InterCity Rail Capital; • 5 percent to Low Carbon Transit Operations; and • 25 percent to High Speed Rail.

Next Steps

The Legislature has until next Wednesday, June 15, to pass the budget. Final language is expected to be released on Monday and Tuesday in preparation for the final vote. League staff will review the language and release a more detailed update of the budget package next week. Cap and Trade, "by right" and other deferred proposals are expected to be discussed in the coming months. In the meantime, city officials should be on the watch for last minute action alerts from their Regional Public Affairs Manager.

CITY OF THOUSAND OAKS

lOib JUN 1 4 p q: 4 S

Dear Client:

Lots of fretting about jobs these days ... especially given the slowing trend in hiring since Feb., as amplified by the paltry 38,000 jobs added in May, and the many people who've given up looking for work.

Adding to the concerns and overall angst: The relentless march of automation ...

robots and other productivity-enhancing machines that will continue to displace people in the workplace.

Folks v.rithout skills will take the biggest hit. Coming increases in the minimum wage in many states and cities are sure to advance employers' efforts to automate low-skill jobs ... parking lot attendants, order takers, front counter workers and the like.

But for skilled workers . the future is bright . May's job report is noteworthy for occupations

that are not affected by the slowdown in hiring ... chiefly tech, accounting, consulting and health care.

In fact, employers find it hard to fill many jobs in fields that require sophisticated technical skills along with an ability to communicate effectively while leading and influencing teams of colleagues.

Successful implementation of technology requires a slew of experts in well-compensated positions, ranging from big data and cybersecurity specialists to software and mobile app developers. Also computer network administrators, systems engineers, programmers of all stripes and wireless network engineers.

Greater use of digitized video for marketing and more is opening up jobs in motion graphics and customer experience design, marketing automation and other specialties that didn't exist a few years ago. Recent college grads and others that specialize in such fields are often seeing multiple offers from top-notch firms.

Among other tech careers that will see huge growth in the years ahead: Commercial drone pilots. Smart-home-systems installers and repair workers. Satellite data analysts. Coders for virtual reality systems and quantum computers.

Meanwhile, scores of health care jobs are going unftlled, and many of them are at the high end of the spectrum: Directors of surgery and emergency operations. CEOs and COOs of hospitals. Physicians who specialize in geriatrics. Dentists. Medical laboratory technologists and occupational therapists. Chief nursing officers plus nurses of all types, especially nurses trained to work in specialty areas.

Note a growing emphasis by employers on apprenticeships and internships, offering on-the-job training and experience not only for blue-collar workers ... electricians, carpenters, AC specialists ... but also in tech and various other fields. They give employers a chance to teach specific skill sets to talented individuals, many of whom are offered full-time jobs once their learning tenures are over.

The protracted slide in industrial metals prices may finally be over. But don't bet on much of a rebound anytime soon. Prices or iron ore, copper,

aluminum and other base metals have been declining for years because of oversupply and concerns about slowing demand in China, the biggest consumer of most metals. So far, 2016 has seen prices tumble, rally and then fall again over only a few months.

Most metals prices figure to stay flat this year before gradually turning higher in 2017 or 2018. Supplies are just too high right now to allow for much of an increase. And any rise in U.S. interest rates would boost the dollar ... a b earish factor for prices. But a few metals will buck the trend because of stronger demand or tight supply. Among them: Zinc, lithium and palladium, which all have very specialized applications.

Any stabilization in prices bodes well for countries \vith big mining sectors ... Canada, South Africa, Australia, etc. All have suffered from the prolonged price slump.

Big banks see new opportunit1es ih lending to small businesses, a big shift from their recent trend of cutting back on such loans. Tougher financial regs

and skimpy interest rates have made lending to smalls less attractive for large banks. Many firms are therefore turning to nonbank marketplace lenders, such as OnDeck, which cater to smaller borrowers and approve loans quickly but charge higher rates. Now big banks want to win back more of that business from marketplace lenders.

Some financial giants are going online to court small-business borrowers. Wells Fargo, for instance, just started taking online loan applications from customers that already have a business deposit account at the bank. Loans range from $10,000 to $35,000, and borrowers must make weekly payments. JPMorgan Chase, meanwhile, is working with OnDeck to offer online business loans to its checking account clients. More tie-ups that combine big banks' assets with online lenders' technology are likely.

The Zika virus threatens the health of municipal bond markets. Fear of Zika could dampen tourism and outdoor commerce in the states most at risk of outbreaks, and that could depress the tax revenues states and cities need to service debts. That's especially an issue in states such as Ga. , La., Miss. , Pa. and Texas, where public health spending may not be enough to allow fast response to outbreaks.

Credit downgrades are unlikely. But some borrowers could face higher rates if Zika crimps their tax revenues this summer ... an unusual risk for municipalities, which have seen strong investor demand for their bonds push rates down recently.

Thefts at ATMs are on the rise. Attacks on automated teller machines via skimmers ... card reading devices that can be concealed on ATMs

and used to steal debit card information ... skyrocketed by more than 500% last year. Both bank ATMs and independently owned kiosks in malls and other locations are being targeted by thieves, who use the data to make duplicate debit cards. Even the rollout of new cards with chips embedded in them isn't a deterrent.

Card issuers are tuming to new technology to defeat the fraudsters. Bank of America is deploying a digital wallet that will allow its customers to access ATMs with their smartphones ... no card required. And at Citigroup, researchers are testing biometric data such as fingerprints as card substitutes.

More folks could soon qualify as accredited investors, enabling them to take a stake in start-up firms and other non-publicly-traded ventures.

Current accreditation rules require a would-be investor to earn more than $200,000 per year or have a n et worth of at least $1 million, not counting home equity. But the Securities and Exchange Comm. is mulling changes to those thresholds , such as letting people with less wealth or income demonstrate their financial aptitude by passing a written exam. Look for such adjustments to be in place by year-end.

More accredited investors means more capital available to entrepreneurs looking to raise funds. The current SEC rules sideline many potential backers.

Now that Donald Tmmp and Hillary Clinton are set as the nominees ... Fasten your seat belts for the ugliest gresidentlal campaign in decades.

For now, that distinction belongs to 1968. That year included assassinations ... candidate Robert Kennedy and civil rights leader Martin Luther' King Jr ... protests over Vietnam that drove President Johnson from the race, and rioting in the streets of Chicago that disrupted the Democratic National Convention.

Violence is prettl! much ex'H~cted, given fights that have already occurred at some rallies and the angry partisanship on both sides. Nasty campaigns, too, with Trump revisiting some of the low moments of Bill Clinton's presidency and Hillary Clinton arguing that Trump lacks both composure and experience.

The key question: Will uncommitted voters pick sides or stay home?

President Obama's signature international trade agreement is on life support. Congress probably won't approve the Trans-Pacific Partnership this year,

even in a lame-duck session after the Nov. 8 elections for president and lawmakers. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has ·nixed any vote before the election. Now, hopes for lame-duck consideration appear dashed by Republican objections to two issues: Intellectual property concerns about biologics and Australia's plan for a stiff tax on tobacco. The half-dozen or so GOP votes that would be lost over the concerns are enough to doom the bill, which is opposed by many Democrats.

Prospects will actually worsen after Obama leaves the White House in Jan. The presumptive presidential nominees, Trump and Clinton, oppose the trade deal. And with Democrats likely to pick up Senate seats this fall, getting the 60 votes to OK the agreement or the two-thirds needed to override a veto will be difficult.

Look for a handful of states to move driverless cars closer to acceptance. Legislation likely to pass in Calif. will clear the way for tests on public roads

of vehicles without steering wheels or human occupants. Mich., too, is getting ready to allow further road tests and is weighing penalties for folks who take over control of driverless vehicles by hacking into their operating systems. Other states in the mix: Fla., Nev. and Tenn., with more sure to follow. But overcoming broad public resistance to the cars will pose a huge obstacle. So will questions about insurance and licensing.

Don't believe all the headlines and hand-wringing about health care costs. Exchange premiums will go up but orobably not by as much as forecast.

State regulators have to approve the proposed increases, and many will be reduced. The biggest hit will come in rural areas that are covered by just one or two insurers. And the cost of mid-tier plans ... silver plans ... will go up more slowly than other plans. Those who receive subsidies ... 83% in the exchanges ... will have their payouts capped. But they might face a nonmonetary hit: Having to switch health insurance plans.

More firms will add transgender health care benet1ts for their workers. About 12% of companies, mostly large ones, cover services such as counseling, hormone therapy and gender reassignment surgery. Fewer cover cosmetic surgery.

Small and midsize businesses will offer the benefits slowly as they look for ways to attract qualified job candidates in a tightening U.S. labor market.

Coming in July: Bigger fines for workplace posting violations from EEOC ... the Equal Employment Opportunity Comm. The maximum fine jumps

to $525 per violation on July 5, from $210. Under the rule, notices of key provisions of civil rights, disabilities and genetic info nondiscrimination acts must be posted in "prominent and accessible" work locations. The requirement applies to companies, governments and schools with 15 or more employees, as well as to federal contractors.

Uncle Sam is mulling potential regulations for the Internet of Things ... Web-connected devices and sensors for collecting and transmitting data.

The De.pt. of Commerce recently solicited the input of companies and trade groups about policy issues such as privacy, cybersecurity, worker skills, big data, etc. Look for Commerce and other agencies to roll out various regs over the next few years.

The tech community fears that rigid federal rules would stymie R&D. Security and privacy mandates, for example, could slam the brakes on new services as well as thwart exports of software and hardware to some foreign markets.

But some pending moves by Washington will help U.S. firms stay ahead in the race to add to the Internet of Things as it grows in complexity. Among them: Freeing up wireless airwaves for Web use and raising spending on basic research.

Calling a disconnected number? Many Americans do so each month. Chances are you may be redirected to a pollster or market researcher

who will ask you to answer a few questions in exchange for, say, a $15 gift card. The redirected calls are being managed by a new company, Reconnect Research. It finds that many callers are willing to stay on the line and respond to surveys.

Phone companies get a cut of the action from Reconnect Research, which is paid by its customers, including political pollsters, travel companies , food companies ... even the federal government seeking h ealth and wellness data.

The Food and Drug Admin. wants the food industry to reduce its use of salt in some 150 food product categories, ranging from cereal to pizza.

The agency's draft voluntary guidelines aim to help Americans lower their salt intake by about 12% per day over the next two years and 32% a day within 10 years.

The goal: Wean Americans off what's seen as excessive salt consumption, which the government ~ays contributes to assorted health problems and early deaths.

Food companies will likely heed the government's call, with several firms, including Nestle, Mars, PepsiCo, General Mills and McDonald's, spearheading the move by willingly scaling back their use of sodium. To keep their products tasty, some firms are adding basil, garlic and other spices and herbs to processed foods.

Meanwhile. more cities will emulate New York City's sodium labeling rule, which requires some restaurants to flag meals that contain more than a day's worth of salt. The rule applies only to firms that operate 15 or more eateries nationwide. Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego and Seattle are good bets to follow NYC's lead.

The nation's capital also has a large and relatively inexpensive fleet of taxis.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Excellence In Trusteeship The Ventura County Community College District remains the only District in California in which all oftheir trustees have completed the requirements of the Excellence in Trusteeship Program {ETP) and the first board to complete the ETP as a team. The VCCCD Trustees completed the program and received certificates of completion in April2014. The five-member Board was recognized by the Community College League of California at the May 2016 Annual Trustees Conference and participated in a panel discussion about the value of the program. To earn a Cert ificate of Completion, t rustees must commit to the program and meet the below criteria within a 24-month period.

Complete three training sessions in each of the programs competencies, which include:

1) Accreditation;

2) Student Success;

3) Governance;

4) Fiscal Responsibilities;

5) Board Evaluation;

6) Ethics Training;

7) Brown ActTraining; and

8) Complete ten additional sessions of choice.

"After completing t he ETP as a team, our board is more unified and we work more effectively together in all aspect s of governance;• said Dianne McKay, VCCCD Board member. McKay's role as Trustee Champion was significant in the Board completing the ETP as a group. The trustees have recently committed to completing a recert ification.

"Learning is a life-long endeavor and t he ETP keeps you advised of new trend s and refreshes your memory regarding your role and responsibilities as a trustee;' added Stephen Blum, VCCCD Board member. Blum is the second t rustee in the state that has already completed the recertification process. The VCCCD trustees find t hat the program is also a wonderful opportunity to spend time with trustees from around the state who share the same issues and concerns.

Youngest Moorpark College Graduate in its History Here's a story for the record books. Pranav Kalyan, a 13-year-old boy who took college courses while attending middle school, graduated from Moorpark College with honors, earning associate degrees in both natural sciences and math.

Kalyan was among the 1,085 graduates celebrated at the 49th commencement ceremony in May. His parents knew he was advanced and tried to teach him math and other subjects, but soon realized he needed to be enrolled in a school that taught at his level. They chose Moorpark College.

Kalyan took afternoon and night courses at Moorpark College after he attended day classes at Lindero Canyon Middle School in Agoura Hills. He thrived in the college environment. The students and faculty were welcoming to young Kalyan and his impressive dedication and intellect helped challenge his fellow classmates.

Kalyan plans to transfer to Ca ltech, Stanford, or the University of California, Los Angeles to study computer science

and work in physics and astronomy after he finishes ninth grade; we have no doubt that he will do well!

Congratulations to Pranav Kalyan, who is an inspiration to us all!

Ventura College Water Science students make lasting impression Ventura College Water Science and Environmental Technology Department Associate Professor and Program Chair Dr. Richard Forde and students Tristan Anderson, Domanique Madrid, Brianna Ruiz, Dawn Gottsch alt. and Garrett Russell presented research on clean water solutions to more than 6,000 attendees at the American WaterWorks Association meeting in Sacramento, California.

The AWWA is the largest water agency in the world. It creates the standards and terminology for the water industry for all SO states and Canada. Ventura College students made such an impression that the AWWA has inquired about forming internships for the Water Science and Environmental Technology program. Students from the University of california, Davis and California State University, Sacramento are interested in taking classes in the program.

"This research involves developing equipment and methodology using over-the-counter products to filter dirty water through diatomaceous earth to clean the water;' said Forde. "The idea is to provide clean drinking water to people in developing nations:'

The Water Science program provides students with the technical training they need to pursue a career in the municipal potable water and wastewater industries. Waterworks operators protect public health by ensuring that plant operations comply with state and federally mandated drinking water and wastewater disposal standards.

The theme, "Shields to the Heat;' was befitting, since the shield is the first t hing to feel the heat when a firefighter goes into a fire.

Moorpark College launches new Game Design program The Moorpark College Game Design program- recently approved by the Ventura County Community College District Board ofTrustees as a Certificate of Achievement and an Associate in Science degree program -will begin this fall. The only program like it in the region, the Game Design program at Moorpark College will provide core competencies in the cultural. theoretical. artistic, and narrative aspects of game design, as well as a broad background in the creation and development of playable media.

Game development and associated industries generate more than $20 billion per year in the U.S. alone.

The program is designed to prepare students for freelance careers and/or entry-level employment as independent game developers or with game design and development companies. Students explore creative, technical. critical. and design-based solutions to real world issues in order to meet the rigors of a dynamically evolving array of game-oriented professions.

Ventura College offers Social Media Marketing degree

.g. -@

Ventura College will offer a Social Media Marketing degree beginning the fall of 2016. The program was recently approved as a Certificate of Achievement and an Associate in Science degree to provide education and training on how social media has changed the way businesses communicate, including the use of mobile technology to increase interactivity between businesses and consumers. Twitter, Facebook, Snap Chat, You Tube, Google+, Linked In, Pinterest. and lnstagram are just a few of the top social media sites organizations are using to directly communicate with their customers

and suppliers.

According to the 2013 Social Media Marketing Industry Report, more than 3,000 marketers surveyed indicated the following:

• 86% of marketers reported that social media is important to their business

• 88% of marketers want to know more about the most effective tactics and the best ways to engage their audience with social media

• 89% of all marketers reported that use of social media increased their market

exposure

Based on research conducted by Ventura College Associate Professor Debbie Newcomb, Business Department Chair and Student Learning Outcomes Facilitator, Ventura College will be one of the first to offer a degree in Social Media Marketing, as most institutions offer social media courses, but do not offer a degree program. Students are expected to learn how to develop more personal marketing campaigns that result in a better customer experience.

Successful completion of the courses required may culminate in a Certificate of Achievement or Associate in Science degree, based on the number of units a student acquires. It may also contribute to requirements for the Ventura College Business Management Certificate of Achievement and Associate in Science degree. Future courses may be offered online. For more information on the required classes and units, please contact Debbie Newcomb, [email protected] or (805) 289-6268 ..

I'm writing to you with a concern about the school boards decision making involving several Conejo Valley schools and neighborhoods. I am certain I'm not the first person to bring this issue to your attention and I appreciate the reasons that the City Council members hesitate to weigh in on our boards decision making process. Thus far the board seems to be conducting their decision making process in ways that have not been transparent to their constituents.

My concern for you is that the board's plan to relocate CVHS to the current location of Horizon Hills Parenting Program, adjacent to Thousand Oaks High School, now makes this a land use issue. Two high schools so close in proximity to one another presents an intensification of use issue that I believe should be examined by the city council before any more action is taken by the board.

I would like to urge the city council to enact an emergency ordinance to require any expansion or relocation of schools to be examined by the city of Thousand Oaks. I feel the board has not done its due diligence in studying the impact of traffic In the neighborhood, the safety of students, noise and setback laws.

If the board isn't willing to research this matter and do so in a transparent way, I'm relying on the city to at least regulate what could be major changes to our neighborhoods and negative impacts within our community.

Sincerely,

Charlotte Campbell

A city may pass an emergency or "urgency" ordinance only under very limited circumstances, such as significant public health or safety concerns. There is a very high threshold that must be met.

Although the City may not be able to require the School District to comply with City land use regulations, your concerns will be forwarded to the District for consideration.

Good morning and thank you for your prompt response.

It has been a uniquely frustrating experience to be completely ignored by the School Board as a community. We have come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter how many of us oppose their proposal it will be pushed through. We are in desperate need of someone with more political savvy and influence to champion our cause. We understand that the City Council does not have technical jurisdiction over the CVUSD. But, the City Councils public support of the Horizon Hills community might influence the School Board.

At the end of the day ... we are being help responsible for the financial I planning mistakes made by the School Board. Everyone else involved gets to go home. But, we are home and we are the ones who suffer the consequences.

Thank you for your service to the city of Thousand Oaks.

Members of the City Council,

I am a Father, Firefighter, Chaplin and resident of the Horizon Hills Community. I am writing this letter not as an individual but on behalf of a neighborhood in need. We find ourselves in a desperate situation and are powerless to stop it. The Conejo Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) is proposing to replace our prestigious Horizon HiJls Preschool with the Conejo Valley (Continuation) High School1. This proposal will have a significantly negative impact and a predictably undesirable outcome to our safe and quiet neighborhood. The school board ignores our unified voices because we do not possess the financial means or the political connections of other neighborhoods that have faced the same problem. We ask the City Council to stand with our Community in opposition of this proposal for the following reasons.

• The Safety of our Families

o Some of the students of CVHS have been expelled for violating the schools conduct standards2. Reasons for expulsion include, but are not limited to, possession of a weapon, drug possession, robbery, extortion, and assault or battery. The impact of CVHS on our family's safety is undeniable. In CVHS' current location there have been accounts of some CVHS students "selling drugs, smoking cigarettes and committing crimes." These actions along with loitering have prompted the property manager of the nearby shopping center to hire security guards3. Ifthese habits are not compatible with the Carden neighborhood, as the school board has stated, then they are not compatible with our neighborhood 4,

o Our families are often riding bikes, playing sports, and participating in other activities on our quiet streets. These peaceful streets would become thoroughfares for teen drivers who are three times more likely to be involved in a fatal crashs.

• Adverse Financial Impact

lJ understand that the inclusion of"Continuation" in the title may be inflammatory for some. But, it is accurate and included in most explanations of the school (i.e. htt;ps: //www.google.com /#Q=conejo+ya!!ey+high+school. http://www.greatschoo!s.org/californ!a/newbury-park/11220-Conejo-Yalley·Hieh-Contlnuatlon-Schooii. b.ttp: //www. usnews.comfed uca tion /best-hjgh -sell ools /californ ja /djstrjcts /conej o-yallcy-u n j fled /cooejo·va lley-h ighcontinuation-2000).

1Jbid

s http:/ jwww.cdc.gov jmotorvehiclesa fety jteen_dr!versjteendrivers_factsheet.html

o The negative financial impact that CVHS will have on our neighborhood is undisputable. There have been numerous real estate studies that have proven the correlation between lower performing schools and lower home prices6. CVHS has surprisingly low academic scores with an 8% English proficiency (national average 44%) and a Math proficiency of 2% (national average 33%)1.

o There are several houses currently for sale in our surrounding neighborhood. The sellers have been told by buyers' agents that if not for the possibility of CVHS being relocated offers would have been made. The mere possibility of relocation has already had a direct financial impact on our neighborhood. If CVHS does get relocated we stand to lose hundreds of thousands of hard earned dollars as a community.

o Many of the Horizon Hills community are retired and on a fixed income. The certain depreciation in home values will directly affect the quality of life for our retired members.

In closing, as a community we affirm the right that the students of CVHS have to an education. They should be given every opportunity to succeed. But, their education should not come at the expense of the safety of our families, our financial stability, and our neighborhood. Most cities place their Continuation schools in more commercial areas because they understand the negative impact that they have on a community. Many other communities have closed their Continuation schools for a variety of social and financial reason sa.

Members of the City Council, many of you ran for office on a platform of pub! ic safety. The residents have made it very clear that if you allow the installation of this school it would be a direct vote against the public safety of our neighborhood and city. We ask that you not provide tacit approval of the relocation by refusing to get involved! Ignoring our plight is a

6 Weather using a linear (Hedonic) approach or a non-linear approach while conducting research the conclusion is the same. The quality of schools in the neighborhood affect the home prices in that neighborhood. There have been over 50 years of research proving this fact and two of those studies arc listed below.

Chiodo, Hernandez-Murillo, and Owyang "Nonlinear Effects of School Quality on House Prices" Federal Reserve Bank ofSt Louis Review, May/June 2010, 92(3), pp. 185-204.

o This option was mention by Mike Dunn at the june 71h School Board meeting but was met with opposition. This would save the School District almost 8 million dollars along with not displacing two schools and have no negative impact on two communities.

verdict against us. Please protect the Horizon Hills Community, please protect our financial stability, and most of all please protect our families!

We eagerly await your response and pray for your support!

Please respond to dtizen on behalf of Councilmember regarding the following concern:

I desperately need your help.

Horizon Hills residential community is currently very peaceful, quiet and a nice place to live. The parenting program currently there fits in with the neighborhood. Moving this school to make a new home for the Continuation School would be a huge disservice and terrible injustice to the nice folks who live there.

I urge you to oppose and NOT approve any proposal that would change the status quo of this wonderful neighborhood.

Good afternoon,

On behalf of the City, thank you for your email. The following information will serve to address your concerns regarding recent CVUSD decisions.

To clarify, the City of Thousand Oaks does not have jurisdiction over the Board, or any related issues. Further, under State Law School Districts can exempt themselves from City land use regulations. A dty may pass an emergency or "urgencyn ordinance only under very limited circumstances, such as significant public health or safety concerns. There is a very high threshold that must be met.

I am a Thousand Oaks resident and a member of the Horizon Hills community. I am writing to you because our neighborhood, along with two wonderful schools find ourselves fighting an uphill battle. You have heard of the School Board's design to displace Horizon Hills Preschool and eliminate Carden to find a place for the Conejo Valley Learning Center. As a former teacher, I believe that ALL students should receive a quality education, however as a member of the Horizon Hills neighborhood I can tell you the place for CVLC is not here. I am VERY concerned that there doesn't seem to be any public plans for how this option will pan out and also how it will effect our quiet little neighborhood. No cumulative studies have been done regarding traffic, parking, etc, and from my research, none to be done in the future. I am concerned with the quality and safety of the area where we live. I have two very young children that I run with in a double stroller 6 days a week-I intentionally avoid TOHS on weekday mornings because of the rush and craze of students and parents getting to class. If the CVLC comes to our neighborhood too, I will not be able to exit our neighborhood without going directly in front of a high school. The idea of being "sandwiched" between two high schools, with high foot and car traffic makes our location undesirable and therefore also will effect the value of our home. This is simply the very "short list" of concerns, and I ask for your help. The School Board is interested in the students and their families, but isn't vested in the neighborhood. Please-do the cumulative studies. Please help our community!

I'm writing to you as a 32 year resident of Thousand Oaks, specifically I own a home for all of those 32 years in Horizon Hills, directly across the street from the Horizon Hills Parenting Program.

I have voted in every election since moving to the Conejo Valley in 1984.

Recently I have attended a couple of meetings regarding the potential displacement of Horizon Hills Parenting Program due to the need to find a home for Conejo Valley High School (Continuation Program)

and what will be the new Conejo Valley Learning Center and the future Career Technical Education Program.

As a retiree with no children, I don't typically follow or get involved with any issues around schools. However when the very fabric of my neighbor is being threatened I feel I must get involved even

if only to write a letter.

These small elementary schools located in residential neighborhoods were designed to be just that, the local elementary school. I find it ridlculous to think that anyone would want to relocate a

Continuation School in a residential area along with a new (and somewhat larger with room for growth) Learning Center & CTE. This should be done in a centralized location, not hidden in a neighborhood.

All of this because there is a shortage of funds for the original plan of building a new facility by the CVUSD District Ofc. on Janss Rd. That location is ideal! Right across from the Teen Center and

the Library. I believe that CVUSD is looking for a quick band-aid, now that time is running out on finding a place for the Continuation School. What will happen in 3 to 5 years when they outgrow this

location in Horizon Hills? What will happen to the 685 families that use the Parenting Program? And what will become of my quiet little neighborhood as traffic at all hours becomes the norm, people in and

out, talking in the parking lot, headlights coming in my windows as they come & go. My back yard, front yard and bedroom are all impacted by the noise from the school. Now it is tolerable as children leave with their parents each day between noon & 1 p.m. That will not be the case with a full time Continuation School and a fancy new Learning Center and Technical Education Progam.

The sanctuary of my garden and my home will be ruined by this. The 685 families that utilize the parenting program will be lett in the cold as the option presented to them (Carden) is nothing compared to what they currently have. And there is the same objection by residents living close to Carden, the environment of their neighborhood would be forever changed.

I didn't know much about that parenting program until I went a visited the grounds. Have you been there? It is exceptional, Thousand Oaks should be holding up this Program for other cities to see. The outdoor space

they have created to teach and nurture children is beautiful. And then I find out that the school is practically self-funded ... come on ... don'ttouch this place!

Someone dropped the ball about the new building at the District ofc site1 or maybe the School on Kelly Rd. in Newbury Park should not have been sold to begin with.

I have multiple concerns here; for my neighborhood, for how my tax dollars are being spent, how schools and the needs of the community are being met and how it will be in the future.

The CVUSD made a decision on June 14th to put together an Ad Hoc Committee tore-look at the options available. However I keep hearing that the deal is already done. I certainly hope that the School Board

would not waste precious time & money on a committee if they are not serious about finding an alternative. I believe they should be looking for every spare dollar, partnering with or finding alternative financing to build

the facility as planned at the Janss Rd. site. That would be best for Thousand Oaks1 best for the students and best for the neighborhoods where Carden is located and where Horizon Hills is located. You must look at the long term goal.

I understand the council doesn't usually get involved with the School Board1 not sure if that is true, just what I've heard. My point is it's part of our City, your constituents are being affected ... lefs not mess up an opportunity to do something right. Any advice, & council (and maybe some money) you could lend to the School Board would be nice.

CITY MANAGE~'S OFFJCE

From 1964 to 1991, I was the editor of the Thousand Oaks News-Chronicle , a daily newspaper published by John P. Scripps Newspapers .

Under the guidance of John P. Scripps, I was encouraged to take an involved stance in public matters. Some of these included creation o f a water system and sewer system (neither of which existed when I arrived); creation of a K-12 uni fied school district and pas sage of school bond issues to build, among others, Newbury Park and Westlake High Schools ; urging the then-reluctant Conejo Rec-Park Di strict to accept the land that is now Wildwood Regiona l Park and setting as ide land for the open space that now surrounds the city; and a campaign to replace the long outdated county library with a city-owned facility.

As par t of the latter pro ject, The News Chronicle paid for a quiet area reading nook to be permanent ly named for John P. Scripps , whose leadership enabled his newspaper to help build Thousand Oaks into the thriving city it has become.

Las t week, I visited the library, now justifiably named for f ormer City Manager Grant Brimhall , and I looked for the nook and the permanent plaque that had been there. Neither was there. I as ked two library staff members about i t. Both had been staff members for 12 years; nei t her knew anything about it, said they had never heard of it.

I am requesting a full explanation and remediation, namely, designation of the area and replacement of the plaque .

Dear Mayor JOe\ p · PI C.~J

CITYH=~~JIM I

I am a first grader at Bridges Charter School in Thousand Oaks. This spring we have been doing Kids Who Care projects in my class where we get to pick a service project that's about helping out in our world. My mama asked me if I wanted to do something that could help the environment and our community. She told me about a program called Bee City USA. It's where a city becomes a pollinator friendly place. I am writing to ask if you would consider having the city of Thousand Oaks become a Bee City USA city too?

Why would Thousand Oaks want to become a Bee City USA city?

Well, did you know that wild bees, along with honey bees, are responsible for pollinating lots of the food we eat? One of every three bites of food we eat is pollinated by insects! Even the alfalfa that feeds the cows that give us milk and meat, is pollinated by insects. The bad news is, pollinators all over the world are dying because of things like habitat loss, pesticides, and the spread of pests and diseases.

Here is what I learned the City of Thousand Oaks can do to help stop this by becoming a Bee City USA town.

1. keep open space available for pollinators

2. minimize pesticide use and find alternatives for chemicals that harm pollinators

3. plant bee friendly plants in civic areas and encourage citizens to do so in their home gardens.

4. provide habitat, like "Bee Condos," for pollinators to live in

To help the city of Thousand Oaks get started, our garden at Bridges Charter School is organic and doesn't use pesticides. We also got a grant to plant California native plants in front of our school. As part of my Kids Who Care project, my mama and I built a bee condo to put on the school grounds. I figure

our Bee Condo can be a good example! Plus, it was really fun and easy to build too.

Please let me know if you will consider doing these things to help pollinators and have Thousand Oaks become a Bee City USA city.

Thank you and I am really looking forward to hearing back from you (I didn't even know there was a mayor for the city of Thousand Oaks. That was part of my research!).

Yours Sincerely,

--Ai~~\1 Ar1·d De\ Bos~e Aidan Anil Del Bosque 15152 Campus Park Drive B Moorpark, CA 93021

Re: Frontier Communications

Dear City Council Members:

Following is an accounting of our experiences with Frontier Communications since its taking over of service from Verlzon at the beginning of 2016. We receive land line telephone, TV and Internet services.

Our first problem with Frontier was with the voice messaging system. The history of the voice mail system is this. Prior to getting a bundle package with Verizon, that is, landline phone, TV, and Internet service, we had had a stand-alone answering machine. When we got the Verizon bundle, it came with Verizon's voice mall system; I.e., our answering machine no longer worked. Verizon's voice mail was reached by pushing a button on the phone face. It was done automatically at the time the service was started; i.e., we didn't do anything to install the number to be called. Whatever was done was done by Verizon at its end.

My wife and I were gone the first week in January 2016 when the change took place. Our phone notifies us If a voice mail message has been received and has a button for automatic call-back to voice mail. It indicated we had a voice mail message(s) when we returned. When we called the number for voice mail, we received the message there were no voice mall messages. Several weeks later a friend asked why we hadn't returned her calls, stating she had left several messages.

We called Frontier and were informed there was a new number for voice mall. When we dialed that number, the first message was from Frontier informing us there was a new number to call to retrieve voice mall messages. I will state at this point, that when calling Frontier, including working my way through the phone menu, none of my calls have been picked up by a person in less than ten (10) minutes.

How Frontier expected us to know there was a new voice mail message number when all it had done was leave a message at that number is beyond mel

For several months we physically entered the Frontier number to get our voice mail messages. In April 2016, I called Frontier to find out how to change the automatic voice mail number on our phone to Frontier's number. While the technician appeared to work diligently to try to find an answer, he was unable to do so and an appointment was made for a technician to come to the house. The appointment was within a window of time. When the technician did not arrive during that window, I called and was told he was runn ing late. When he still had not arrived shortly before 5 p.m., I called again. I was told he would not be able to make it that day and that we would be contacted to arrange another appointment date and time.

COUNCIL M/\rL DATE

We left on a vacation trip the last week of April and returned the second week in May. No call was received prior to our leaving to set up another appointment. When we returned, a neighbor told my wife that while we were gone, a man in a Verizon truck had been parked In front of our house for about 30 minutes one day. I misunderstood what she told my wife as I thought the neighbor said he had been parked in front of her house. I did not contact Frontier at that time.

Several weeks later we discovered In the Apps that Amazon Prime had been changed to Amazon Videos and that we were unable to connect to lt. I called Frontier and again, while the tech spent a considerable amount of time trying to determine what had happened, he was unable to. His conclusion was that it was something Amazon had done and that we would need to contact Amazon. At the conclusion of that call, an appointment was made for a technician to come to the house to work on installing the voice mail call-back number on our phone. The appointment was made for approximately one-and-a-half to two weeks later, Tuesday, May 31, 2016.

Around May 2ot~>, we found we were unable to make any outgoing calls on our phone. We were receiving calls but not being able to make them. I called Frontier and again, while the tech was friendly and appeared to work on the problem, he was unable to fix it. He added this to the repair ticket for the technician to address. Several days later, calls stopped being received on the land line as well. Instead the calls were being forwarded to my wife's cell phone. The really strange thing about this was that (1) our cell phone service is not with Frontier and {2) we were not notified nor had we requested this be done. Somehow, it just happened. We had to use our cell phones for all outgoing calls.

During the course of this conversation with the tech person that took place around May 20th, he noted we had not been home when the technician arrived at the time of a previously scheduled appointment. It was then my wife clarified it was our house the technician had been parked in front of rather than our neighbor's. I informed him that (1) we had not been contacted prior to our leaving about setting up another appointment, and {2) obviously would not have scheduled an appointment during that time frame.

Over the weekend of May 25th, we received a phone call on the landline which had miraculously started working again. We also found we were able to make outgoing calls. In addition, we were able to access Amazon Prime on the TV.

We were contacted by Frontier to confirm the house call on May 31st. In talking to the service person, she told my wife how to access the voice mail message system by using *86 rather than having to dial the phone number. While this Is not the same as just pushing the button on the phone it works and we cancelled the home call. I would add that pushing the button on the phone still takes us to the old voice mail system Verizon set up.

Beginning shortly after the beginning of June, whenever we turned on the TV we got a notice on the TV screen of a service update with the option of performing it then or later. No matter what buttons we pushed on the box or remote, nothing happened with the notice. We discovered if, when it came up, we turned off the TV and then turned It back on right away, the notice did not reappear. If we turned off the TV and left it off for a period of time, it reappeared the next time we turned on the TV.

This past Friday, June lOth, we could not access Amazon Prime again. On Saturday, June urn, the screen would suddenly go black while watching a program. If we switched to another channel, the picture would reappear and would remain on when we switched back to the original channel we had been

watching. However, if later we switched to another channel, the same thing would happen and we had to repeat the process. On June 13th, some channels remained black regardless of what we did.

I called Frontier on June 131h and was assisted by a tech person. She was able to clear up the black screen problem (at least at time of the writing of this letter) by having us unplug the box and plug it back in. She was not able to correct the problem with the other two items; i.e., the update notice or the connection to Amazon Prime. Her "advice" was to continue doing what we have been doing when the update notice appears; i.e., switch the TV off and then back on. With respect to the Amazon Prime problem, she initially said that this was a problem with Amazon Prime; i.e., not with Frontier, but when I reminded her it had begun working previously after not workjng, changed her story to say this was an intermittent problem due to work on Frontier's end and that we should continue to try to access it and if we were unsuccessful, to contact Frontier again. She did not indicate how long we should continue trying to access it before contacting Frontier again.

Obviously we are extremely frustrated with the service being provided by Frontier. We understand there were some problems left to Frontier by Verizon at the time of the switch over. However, it has been almost six months now and new problems continue to crop up, problems that never existed with Verizon. The only good thing is that it appears other service providers are aware of the problems with Frontier and are offering good incentive plans to switch which, while not our first choice, is rapidly becoming a more viable option.
