REQUEST SIGNATURE on AB 434 (Daly): Housing Finance Programs. Uniform Procedures. 2. REQUEST SIGNATURE on AB 1286 (Muratsuchi): Shared Mobility Devices. Agreements. 3.

Other actions at the pleasure of the City Council FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: Federal Updates Related to Local Government CARES Act/HEROES Act/HEALS Act/Other Proposals 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. DocuSign Envelope ID: 6DF2E785-1C36-43E4-8107-3423B3795F86 Agenda Report — Legislative Update September 15, 2020 Page 2 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 a 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. No action was taken on the HEALS Act. On September 8, Senator McConnell introduced a $500B "skinny" COVID-19 relief bill that would provide $300 per week for expanded unemployment insurance benefits, a second round of the Paycheck Protection Program, liability protection, and school funding. No additional round of stimulus checks is included in the proposal, as well as no funding for state and local governments. Democrats have concluded that the package does not do enough and will vote against the proposal. A Senate vote on this measure is expected the week of September 8, but faces an uphill battle in clearing the Senate and House. The Senate and House continue to not have 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 continues to support efforts in 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 The Legislature concluded its 2020 session on August 31. The end of a Legislative session under normal circumstances is typically fast paced, with bills needing approval of both houses prior to the midnight deadline. The end of the 2020 session presented its own unique circumstances. DocuSign Envelope ID: 6DF2E785-1C36-43E4-8107-3423B3795F86 Agenda Report — Legislative Update September 15, 2020 Page 3 Due to a Republican Senator testing positive for COVID-19, all but one of the Republican Senators were forced to quarantine at home, participate in debate and vote via Zoom. Because of the added time to debate and vote on bills, the Legislature's ability to pass bills for the Governor's signature was significantly reduced. The COVID-19 challenged session had already limited the amount of bills under consideration throughout the year, and even with a reduced workload the Legislature could not meet its own deadlines on a variety of high-profile bills. Some bills would have easily passed both houses, but due to the time at which it was passed in one house, it could not be transmitted and voted on by the other house in time. Bills that passed both houses are, for the most part, not extremely harmful to local governments when compared to other Legislative sessions. Major Bills That Passed 1. AB 1196: Prohibits authorization of the use of some neck restraints including carotid chokeholds 2. AB 1506: State Attorney General or other state prosecutor will look into fatal shootings by police officers 3. AB 1851: Allows a religious institution to develop affordable housing even if it requires the religious use parking to be reduced 4. AB 2257: Adds additional exemptions to the AB 5 law 5. AB 3088: Extends eviction protections put into place by the CA Judicial Council that were set to expire on September 1, 2020 through February 1, 2021 6. SB 793: Bans flavored tobacco sales in California 7. SB 1159: Makes it easier for police, firefighters and other essential employees who contract COVID-19 on the job to be covered under the state's workers' compensation program 8. SB 1383: Requires companies with five (5) or more workers to provide twelve (12) weeks of job -protected unpaid family leave to employees Major Bills That Failed 1. AB 1080/SB 54: Would have mandated a 75% -reduction in single -use plastics by 2030 through recycling, composting and alternative sourcing 2. AB 1253: Would have added an additional tax on millionaires 3. AB 1659: Would have added ten (10) years to an existing utility fee for bonds to pay for wildfire and climate projects 4. SB 731: Would have stripped troubled officers of their ability to keep a badge and hold officers to some financial responsibility if sued 5. SB 776: Would have made more police personnel records public DocuSign Envelope ID: 6DF2E785-1C36-43E4-8107-3423B3795F86 Agenda Report — Legislative Update September 15, 2020 Page 4 6. SB 795: Would have made $2 billion annually available for housing, homelessness and pre -apprenticeship programs, as well as new infrastructure financing programs 7. SB 1120: Would have allowed property owners to convert single family home to duplex, or construct two new homes or a duplex Governor Newsom now has until September 30 to sign or veto the bills passed by the Legislature. Historically, between 900 and 1,200 measures are sent each year to the Governor and the veto rate is 12%-15%. In his first year, Governor Newsom acted upon 1,042 bills. The number of bills that Governor Newsom will act upon this year is 428. The Governor has already acted on 41 measures as of September 9. Recommended Positions on Legislation Staff is recommending the following position on pending legislation. Draft letters are attached to the staff report. Since bills are now pending action by Governor Newsom, the positions are focused on a request for a signature or veto. Staff will also send signature or veto request letters on other bills previously considered by the City Council that are awaiting action by the Governor. 1. REQUEST SIGNATURE: AB 434 (Daly): Housing Finance Programs. Uniform Procedures. o Aligns six rental housing programs with the Multifamily Housing Program to enable the State HCD to implement a single application and scoring system for funding awards for affordable housing projects. 2. REQUEST SIGNATURE: AB 1286 (Muratsuchi): Shared Mobility Devices. Agreements. o Requires shared mobility device providers (scooters, bikes, etc) to obtain a permit or agreement with the agency it seeks to operate in and to maintain minimum commercial general liability insurance. 3. REQUEST VETO: AB 2967 (O'Donnell): Public Employees' Retirement System. Contracting Agencies.

This bill would help streamline affordable housing grant programs under the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by aligning application requirements and procedures. Local governments in California are required to adopt land use plans to accommodate housing development for residents at all income levels. In recent years, the State and local governments have significantly increased funding to support the development of affordable housing. Through state and local bond measures, a dedicated stream of funding for affordable homes from SB 2 (Atkins, 2017), and one-time allocations of state general fund revenue, significant new resources are now available to support the development of desperately needed affordable housing. Despite this progress, the subsidies available to build new affordable housing remains inadequate to meet regional housing needs allocations goals and the needs of lower-income California households. Moreover, affordable housing projects are nearly always constructed using a combination of federal, state, local, and private sector resources. The need to compete for scarce funding and blend various grant opportunities increases costs for affordable developers. By aligning procedures of the financing programs under the purview of HCD, AB 434 will help stretch this limited funding as far as possible and create additional homes for lower-income Californians. For these reasons, the City of Tustin requests your signature on AB 434. DocuSign Envelope ID: 6DF2E785-1C36-43E4-8107-3423B3795F86 Sincerely, Dr. Allan Bernstein Mayor cc: Senator John M.W.

Over the last several years, the use of shared mobility devices has become widespread in cities across California. However, cities have seen the deployment of e -scooters or e -bikes practically overnight and without prior city approval. This has continued to force local governments to rush to establish their own regulations to address concerns regarding safety, enforcement, and equitable distribution of services and public resources. AB 1286 would put an end to this practice by requiring shared mobility device providers to have prior authorization from the city where they wish to operate. AB 1286 still requires shared mobility providers to have minimum general liability insurance coverage. These uniform protections will safeguard user safety given the prevalence of these devices on California's sidewalks and streets. AB 1286 takes a step in the right direction in the regulation of shared mobility devices by establishing minimum state and local parameters in the operations of shared mobility devices. The City continues to support the safe and responsible deployment of shared mobility devices that encourage alternative modes of transportation, while also protecting the public that it serves. AB 1286 is an important step in the right direction, establishing minimum state and local parameters in the operations of shared mobility devices. For these reasons, the City of Tustin requests your signature on AB 1286. DocuSign Envelope ID: 6DF2E785-1C36-43E4-8107-3423B3795F86 Sincerely, Dr. Allan Bernstein Mayor cc: Senator John M.W.

AB 2967 would prohibit cities and other public agencies contracted with Ca1PERS from exploring novel and innovative operational structures in the future. At a time when governments at all levels are struggling with the dual challenges of lowered revenues and demands with consistent or higher levels of critical services, now is not the time to reduce one of the "tools in the toolbox" for cities and other public agencies to manage their operations. The City remains committed to promises made to employees and retirees, however it remains true that Ca1PERS costs are a source of fiscal stress and now is not the time to limit the tools available to the City and other public agencies. For these reasons, the City of Tustin requests your veto on AB 2967. Sincerely, Dr. Allan Bernstein Mayor cc: Senator John M.W. Moorlach Assembly Member Steven S.
