FISCAL IMPACT:
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Federal Updates Related to Local Government
CARES Act/HEROES Act/HEALS Act
Since the passage of the $2 trillion Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security
(CARES) Act in March, there had been discussions on what should be included (if
anything) in a new stimulus bill for local governments. The CARES Act did not include
any stimulus or recovery funds for state and local governments under 500,000 residents.
Even the state and local governments that did receive CARES Act funding could only use
it for response, not revenue loss.
This (and a number of other factors) ultimately led to the introduction of the $3 trillion
Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act. The
HEROES Act includes $875 billion in direct relief for state and local governments to be
used for response as well as revenue loss over the next two fiscal years. All sizes of local
governments would receive funding under the HEROES Act, unlike the CARES Act. The

HEROES Act passed the House of Representatives in May, and has not been acted on
in the Senate.
The Senate release its proposed relief bill called the Health, Economic Assistance,
Liability protection and Schools (HEALS) Act in late July. The HEALS Act contains a
number of components, but does not contain any additional funding for state and local
governments. Senator McConnell acknowledged that this was to serve as a starting point
for negotiations with the House.
The Senate and House have not had fruitful negotiations on the next COVID-19 relief bill
to date, leaving state and local governments with no additional funding to deal with
response to COVID-19 or to assist with lost revenue. The City recently signed onto a
coalition letter with other Orange County cities requesting federal action to support state
and local governments.
SMART Act
While the HEROES Act includes funding for state and local governments, it also includes
huge expenditures in other areas as well as another round of stimulus checks for the
public. Another bill, the State and Municipal Assistance for Recovery and Transition
(SMART) Act focuses solely on state and local government funding. The SMART Act
includes $500 billion for all sizes of local government. Each state would get a minimum
of $2 billion, and counties and cities would get additional revenue based on population,
infection rates and revenue loss. The SMART Act has not had any action to date.
State Legislative Activity
Prior to the onset of COVID-19 and the recess of the Legislature, there were
approximately 2,700 bills and resolutions pending committee action. The current workload
is approximately 400-450 bills that may be trimmed down further as needed in response
to COVID-19 or as other issues arise.
Housing, emergency response and public safety seem to be the focus of the remaining
bills. While housing was a hot topic last year and at the start of this year, the highest
profile bills seem to have stalled. Emergency response bills continue to move forward in
response to wildfires last year and in preparation for this wildfire season. Finally, in
response to the national discussion on public safety, the Legislature has introduced a
number of measures that would change public safety policies and procedures.
The Legislature has also focused on economic recovery from COVID-19. On July 27, a
group of legislators announced a $1006 economic stimulus proposal to help protect
vulnerable Californians and stimulate job creation. A final version of this proposal is not
yet available, but a summary is attached with this staff report.

Agenda Report— Legislative Update

The Legislature must conclude its work by August 31, unless a special session is called
by Governor Newsom. No special sessions have been called to date.
State Budget
Governor Newsom recently signed the state's FY 20-21 budget. In January, the state was
evaluating how to spend a $613 surplus, but due to the impacts of COVID-19, the state
was forced to close a $54B deficit.
The state budget relies heavily on receiving $14B in new federal funding. If these funds
are not received by September 1, $14B in cuts will take effect immediately. As mentioned
previously, negotiations at the federal level have stalled for the time being.
Recommended Positions on Legislation
Staff is recommending the following position on pending legislation. A draft position letter
is attached to the staff report.
- AB 1063 (Petrie-Norris) Planning and zoning law: housing elements: accessory
dwelling units (ADUs): adequate site substitutes — SUPPORT
o Summary: Allows cities increased flexibility to utilize an existing provision of
law that allows a portion of RHNA requirements to be met through either
rehabilitation, conversion and/or preservation alternatives. This option is
rarely used under the existing law. Also expands the ability for cities to
count ADUs towards RHNA requirements based on demonstrated capacity
and establishing an accepted assumption for estimating ADU production
and affordability levels.
Legislative Matrix
Attached is an updated legislative tracking matrix as of August 11 that tracks bills of
interest as well as bills tracked by the League of California Cities (LOCC), the Association
of California Cities — Orange County (ACC-OC), the Municipal Water District of Orange
County (MWDOC) and other state and local associations. The matrix is sorted by bill
category. The matrix has been scrubbed to focus only on bills that were active as of
August 11 .
Staff is available for any questions the Council may have.

State Capitol Building, Room 4144
Sacramento, CA 95814
SUBJECT: AB 1063 (Petrie-Norris) Notice of Support
Dear Assembly Member Norris -
The City of Tustin (City) is pleased to inform you of our support of AB 1063. This bill would
provide necessary streamlining and flexibility to cities to be able to accelerate housing production.
It is critical that as the state develops more housing production policies, cities are given flexibility
to realistically offer ways to boost housing construction. This bill will take important steps to
implement several objectives that will allow cities to facilitate housing:
- Allows increased flexibility to utilize an existing provision of state law that allows a portion
of RHNA requirements to be met through either rehabilitation, conversion and/or
preservation alternatives. As currently codified,this option is rarely used due to prohibitive
prerequisites making qualification of sites infeasible.
- Presents clear, objective standards for the review and certification of housing elements by
providing guidance to jurisdictions in the selection of appropriate sites, while minimizing
administrative time and cost.
- Expands the ability for cities to count accessory dwelling units (ADUs) towards RHNA
requirements based on demonstrated capacity and establishing an accepted assumption for
estimating ADU production and affordability levels.
In summary, this bill will clarify current law to ensure that cities can count ADUs towards their
housing element compliance. It is important that cities are able to receive credit for facilitating the
development of ADUs and junior ADUs.
For these reasons, the City of Tustin supports AB 1063.
