MEMORANDUM
To: City of Tustin
From: Townsend Public Affairs
Date: April 5, 2021
Subject: Monthly Report for March 2021
State Legislative Update
The Legislature has adjourned for Spring recess and will return Monday, April 5. Over the last
several weeks, policy and budget committees have been meeting to hear and advance bills under
newly adopted rules due to the pandemic. In March, the Legislature passed and the Governor
signed several bills, including SB 95 (Skinner, D-Oakland) to provide workers with access to
COVID-19 supplemental paid sick leave through September 30, 2021. The Governor also signed
AB 83, a budget cleanup bill that clarifies prior legislation regarding waived license renewal fees
for breweries and wineries. The Governor also signed AB 88, an additional budget cleanup bill to
the Golden State Stimulus package signed earlier this year.
Below is a list of upcoming legislative deadlines:
April 30: Last day for policy committees to advance fiscal bills
May 7: Last day for policy committees to advance non-fiscal bills
May 21: Last day for fiscal committees to advance fiscal bills to the floor
Governor's COVID-19 Action Summary
Below is a summary of the Governor's major actions taken regarding COVID-19 in March:
• March 18 — Vaccines for Schools: Governor Newsom and State Superintendent of
Public Instruction Tony Thurmond announced a partnership between the California
COVID-19 Testing Task Force and the California Department of Education to deploy up
to 3 million free rapid COVID-19 antigen tests to support the return to in-person learning
for staff and students in some of California's most disadvantaged school districts.
• March 12—Small Businesses: Governor Newsom, Senate Pro Tem Atkins, and Speaker
Rendon announced that they will work to pass legislation that aligns with the federal
American Rescue Plan Act to provide additional PPP relief for small businesses. The
leaders stated their commitment to an equitable and broad-based recovery, especially for
those businesses most impacted by COVID-19, including restaurants, bars, barbers, nail
salons, and performing arts venues.

Governor Delivers State of the State
On March 9, the Governor delivered his annual State of the State address from Dodger Stadium.
The stadium has served as a massive vaccination site for Angelinos over the past several months.
This was Governor Newsom's third address to the State, but his first since the outbreak of the
pandemic over one year ago. The overarching theme of his speech was dedicated to the recovery
of the State, not only from the pandemic, but also several calamities that took place over the last
year, including civil unrest and devastating wildfires.
The Governor also mentioned the recently approved Golden State Stimulus package that will
allocate $600 payments to many low-income individuals. The Governor also highlighted the $6.6
billion school package aimed at a safe return to school for students. Additionally, vaccination sites
and the State's efforts to roll out major initiatives to quickly vaccinate the most vulnerable
Californians was another key pillar of his speech, which the Governor notes is the key to fully re-
opening various business sectors.
The speech was delivered just prior to the deadline for the recall petition to be submitted to the
Secretary of State. The petition was successfully submitted on time, but election offices across
the State have until April 29 to complete their review of the recall petitions. If it succeeds, Governor
Newsom would be only the second Governor in California and fourth in the U.S. to be recalled.
California Vaccine Eligibility
As vaccine supply is expected to significantly increase in the coming weeks, the State announced
expanding vaccine eligibility to more Californians. Starting April 1, individuals over 50 will be
eligible to make an appointment to be vaccinated. Starting April 15, all individuals over 16 will be
eligible to make an appointment. The State expects to be allocated approximately 2.5 million first
and second doses per week in the first half of April, and more than 3 million doses in the second
half of April. With these anticipated allocation numbers, the end goal is to administer 4 million
vaccines on a weekly basis by the end of April. In an effort to vaccinate the state's hardest hit
populations, before eligibility expands to all individuals over 16, the state will be taking the
following actions:
• Partnering with organizations to vaccinate essential workers
• Supporting community-based organizations to provide scheduling assistance for
appointments
• Prioritizing currently eligible populations and allowing providers the discretion to
vaccinate those who live in high impact areas
Governor Appoints New Attorney General
The Governor announced that he will submit to the State Legislature the nomination of
Assemblymember Rob Bonta as the next California Attorney General, filling the seat vacated by
Xavier Becerra. Mr. Bonta will become the first Filipino American to serve as California Attorney
General after serving nine years as a Deputy City Attorney in the San Francisco City Attorney's
Office, representing the city and its employees, and running for local office in Alameda County.
The nomination is subject to confirmation by the California State Assembly and Senate within 90
days.
State Economic Update
2
DocuSign Envelope ID:25726A5D-5A85-4316-81 B9-787CBCF7ED77
On March 22, the Governor announced that General Fund revenues are running $14.3
billion above January's revenue forecast, with receipts for February exceeding the month's
projections by $3.8 billion. The Governor's office stated that nearly 60 percent of February's gain
can be attributed to timing, including lower refunds caused by the enactment of the $600 one-
time payments from the Golden State Stimulus, and fewer state tax refunds due to the delayed
federal start to the tax filing season.
The Governor highlighted the January Budget proposal and stimulus packages as part of the
State's efforts to properly utilize the increased revenue. As a reminder, the January Budget
proposal reflects $34 billion in budget resiliency — budgetary reserves and discretionary surplus
— including: $15.6 billion in the Proposition 2 Budget Stabilization Account (Rainy Day Fund) for
fiscal emergencies; $3 billion in the Public School System Stabilization Account; an estimated
$2.9 billion in the state's operating reserve; and $450 million in the Safety Net Reserve. The state
began the year with an operating surplus of$15 billion.
The Budget aims to continue paying down the state's retirement liabilities and reflects $3 billion
in additional payments required by Proposition 2 in 2021-22 and nearly $6.5 billion over the next
three years. The Governor also said that the improved revenue picture allows the state to delay
$2 billion in scheduled program suspensions for one year.
Federal Legislative Update
In March, Congress passed the fifth and largest coronavirus aid bill, which President Biden
signed, sending additional money through various federal funding channels to states, counties,
cities, and other entities tasked with addressing and combating impacts of the coronavirus
pandemic. Additionally, March saw a massive ramp up of vaccines, as the U.S. approved a third
vaccine requiring only one shot and continuously expanded eligibility at the state and local levels.
Next, Congress and the Administration turn their eyes to a combination infrastructure and
economic stimulus package, while also navigating a long-term immigration solution.
Coronavirus Aid Package
In March, Congress passed and the President signed the most recent coronavirus relief package,
titled the "American Rescue Plan Act" (H.R. 1319), a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief and stimulus
bill. A few provisions worth highlighting:
• State and Local Funding: $360 billion for local funding, including a $10 billion
infrastructure fund to be controlled by the state. Eligible uses of funds include COVID-19
response, revenue loss, premium pay to essential employees, and broadband, water, or
sewer projects. Additional clarification is expected in guidance from the Department of
Treasury, who seek to issue just one guidance, as opposed to the CARES Act, where
there was rolling guidance. Guidance is expected in a few weeks.
• Homeless Grants
o Cities are slated to get $5 billion in homelessness grants. Permitted expenditures
would include acquiring non-congregate shelter units, such as hotel rooms, that
could be converted to permanent housing.
o The bill also has an additional $5 billion for emergency Section 8 Housing Choice
Vouchers. The Housing and Urban Development Department would have to
provide the vouchers through public housing agencies to individuals and families
3
DocuSign Envelope ID:25726A5D-5A85-4316-81 B9-787CBCF7ED77
who are currently or recently homeless, and to those who are fleeing domestic
violence, sexual assault, or human trafficking. Public housing agencies couldn't
reissue the vouchers after Sept. 30, 2023.
• Restaurant Support
o $29.6 billion for a Restaurant Revitalization Fund to be administered by the SBA.
o Eligible recipients would include restaurants, bars, food trucks, and caterers,
including businesses in airport terminals and tribally owned entities.
• Homeowner Assistance
o $9.96 billion to establish a Homeowner Assistance Fund at the Treasury
Department.
• Disaster Relief
o The measure would provide $50 billion for the Federal Emergency Management
Agency's Disaster Relief Fund to respond to Covid-19 and other major disasters
and emergencies declared by the president. Funding would remain available
through September 30, 2025.
o The funding could also be used to provide financial assistance for pandemic-
related funeral expenses with a 100% federal cost share.
• Airport Support
o $8 billion for public agencies and private owners of public-use airports.
• Employee Retention
o The measure would extend through Dec. 31 an employee retention credit
established by the CARES Act.
• Child Care
o $24 billion for grants to child care providers to use for payroll, rent, personal
protective equipment, mental health support, and other needs
o $15 billion to the Child Care and Development Block Grant
o $600 million increase to the Child Care Entitlement to States
o An additional $1 billion to Head Start
• Broadband
o Creates an "Emergency Connectivity Fund" in the U.S. Treasury and appropriate
$7.17 billion into it to cover the purchase of broadband service and devices by
schools and libraries for use by students, staff, and patrons at other locations.
• Child Tax Credit
o Expands the Child Tax Credit from $2000 per child to$3,600 for each child younger
than 6 and $3,000 for other children.
o Makes the CTC fully refundable
o Allows the CTC to be received on a periodic basis
• Shuttered Venues: Congress eliminated the provision that forced eligible venue
operators and museums to choose between the PPP and the Shuttered Venue Operators
Grant (SVOG). They could now apply for both and just have their PPP deducted from the
larger SVOG.
• Firefighter Grants: $300 million in firefighter grants.
• Health Insurance: The bill would allow individuals who receive unemployment
compensation in 2021 to qualify for reduced cost-sharing under the ACA, and would
subsidize 100% of premiums for individuals eligible for COBRA continuation coverage if
they lose their job.
Vaccines
4
DocuSign Envelope ID:25726A5D-5A85-4316-81 B9-787CBCF7ED77
At the beginning of the month, the CDC formally recommended the Johnson & Johnson COVID-
19 vaccine for adults ages 18 and older. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine only requires one shot,
instead of two, and can be stored in regular refrigerators. This has allowed the U.S. to dramatically
expand its vaccine efforts. On March 8, the CDC released guidance on how vaccinated people
can socialize with other individuals, vaccinated and unvaccinated. They recommended that
vaccinated people can visit indoors without masks but should still wear them in public and avoid
large gatherings when around those who aren't immunized or are at high risk for contracting
Covid-19.
Small Business
In March, Congress passed and the President signed an extension to the Paycheck Protection
Program. The program would have expired at the end of this month, but will now continue to
expend funds through May 31, 2021. PPP still has about $79 billion to distribute
Additionally, the IRS issued guidance clarifying that businesses with forgiven Paycheck Protection
Program loans can still claim a tax credit meant to encourage businesses to keep employees on
their payroll. The guidance follows the December relief law, which allowed businesses with a PPP
loan to also get the employee retention credit, with a few parameters. The Monday guidance
(Notice 2021-20) provides employers with information to determine their eligibility to receive the
employee retention credit, incorporating information the agency previously posted in FAQs.
School Lunches
This month, USDA announced that it would ensure free meals are offered to all school children
over summer 2021, through Sept 30. The waivers extended allow for safe meal distribution sites
that serve all children for free, regardless of income. In addition, the waivers:
• Allow meals served through the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and Seamless
Summer Option (SSO) — collectively known as "summer meal programs" — to be made
available in all areas at no cost;
• Allow meals to be served outside of the normally required group settings and meal times;
and
• Allow parents and guardians to pick-up meals for their children, including bulk pick-up to
cover multiple days of feeding children.
School Guidance
The CDC published updated guidance for physical distancing in K-12 classrooms, which reduces
the recommended physical distancing in some settings from 6 feet to 3 feet as long as mask use
is universal. The CDC continues to recommend 6-foot physical distancing between adults, in
common areas (eg, lobbies, auditoriums), when masks cannot be worn (eg, when eating), and
during activities that involve "increased exhalation" (eg, singing, band practice/performance,
sports practice/competition). Reducing the recommended physical distancing separation to 3 feet
aims to make it easier for schools to resume in-person classes while continuing to mitigate
transmission risk.
International Travel
World Health Organization (WHO) officials announced they are working on the development of a
"smart vaccination certificate" for people who have received a coronavirus vaccine. WHO
Regional Director for Europe emphasized that this effort is simply a method of documenting
5
DocuSign Envelope ID:25726A5D-5A85-4316-81 B9-787CBCF7ED77
vaccination status and not a "vaccine passport." The vaccination certificate should not be
mandatory for international travel. Senior Advisor for the White House COVID Response Team,
Andy Slavitt, suggested that the government should not be involved in verifying individuals'
vaccination status nor in issuing certification. Though Americans will need a way to document
vaccination, Slavitt indicated that the process should be private, secure, free, available digitally
and on paper, and available in multiple languages.

The Honorable Henry Stern
Chair, Senate Natural Resources Committee
State Capitol, Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: SB 761 (Bates)—OPPOSE
Dear Chair Stern:
The City of Tustin strongly opposes SB 761 as it seeks to undermine the results of a local transportation study that
was part of a multi-year collaborative process involving a number of stakeholders including Caltrans,the
Transportation Corridor Agencies(TCA)and the Orange County Transportation Authority(OCTA). The legislation
is also unnecessary and would effectively limit any significant study of transportation needs that could benefit multiple
cities and the region.
SB 761 is yet another attempt by one city to shield itself from participating in transportation solutions at the expense
of neighboring cities. The California Supreme Court held in Committee of Seven Thousand v. Superior Court(198 8)
45 Cal.3d 491,that the local initiative and referendum process could not be used to interfere with the construction or
financing of new major thoroughfares by TCA. Nevertheless,in 2008 the City of San Clemente placed a local
measure on the ballot(Measure V)to try and do exactly that. Specifically, Measure V requires voter approval before
the City can rezone open space for alternative uses. The City then increased its open space designations, and cited
Measure V in an effort to stop the evaluation of potential transportation improvement projects. Given that these
efforts were unsuccessful under existing law,the City has sought, and now continues to seek, legislation to
circumvent the Supreme Court's ruling.
Under SB 761, any landowner could stop a transportation project by Caltrans, TCA, or OCTA by simply placing a
conservation easement over a portion of their land. The legislation sets a bad precedent that could be used
throughout the state to block regionally significant transportation projects.
The City of Tustin takes seriously our transportation planning responsibilities and understands the importance of
being part of the solution to the region's transportation needs. We believe it's incumbent all on cities to do their
part.
The City of Tustin respectfully requests that you vote NO on SB 761 to allow local transportation matters to be
decided at the local level. Thank you.

The Honorable Philip Y. Ting
State Capitol Building, Room 6026
Sacramento, CA 95814
SUBJECT: AB 1271: Notice of Opposition unless Amended
Dear Assembly Member Ting:
The City of Tustin (City)regrets to inform you of its respectful opposition to AB 1271 as amended on April
6, 2021, unless substantially amended to account for the unique circumstances surrounding a public agency
redeveloping former Marine Corps Air Station Tustin (now called Tustin Legacy).
In 2020, your staff directed the City to work with the sponsors of AB 1486 (2019) to fmd a solution to the
unintended consequence of the revisions to the Surplus Land Act (SLA)for former military bases. The SLA,
as amended in 2019, did not account for agreements between the Federal Government and a city for
redevelopments such as Tustin Legacy. The City had several meetings with the sponsors which initially
believed that military bases were exempt from the SLA. As more conversations took place, the sponsors' sole
focus became ensuring 25 percent low and very low affordability percentages, an endeavor that the City
cannot meet as it pertains to Tustin Legacy.
The City negotiated in good faith with the sponsors of AB 1271 by raising the bar for Tustin Legacy with SB
719 (Min). SB 719 requires affordability mandates higher than the SLA but recognizes the need to generate
enough revenue to deliver on the significant infrastructure requirements and public amenities at Tustin
Legacy. Some key issues with AB 1271 are outlined below:
Financial Infeasibility of 25%
AB 1271 requires 25 percent affordability at a former military base, comprised of very low and low income
only. The City has performed a financial analysis, which has been independently verified, that shows going
from 15 percent to 25 percent total affordability results in a 50 percent loss in land sale revenue revenue
which is used to finance the extensive infrastructure requirements (estimated at $650 million) needed to
support development as well as the public amenities being installed by the City. The affordability percentages
within SB 719 have been vetted by the City to understand the financial implications which the City believes
can work. AB 1271 includes an arbitrary affordability number with no financial analysis accompanying it.
Additionally, the current SLA does not require more than a minimum 15 percent affordability. As drafted,
AB 1271 treats Tustin Legacy and other former military bases differently and holds them to a different
standard than any other publicly-owned parcel to be disposed of by a public agency. Under the 15 percent
SLA minimum requirement, the land value is already being discounted, and an increase to 25 percent (and
the associated 50 percent revenue loss) results in removing the City's financial ability to fund infrastructure
and impacts the City's ability to move any housing forward at the base. The revenue loss associated with a 25
percent mandate can put the City's overall fiscal health at risk and will further delay development at Tustin
Legacy.

The Honorable Philip Y. Ting

Page 2
Unclear Implementation
AB 1271 requires 25 percent affordability at a former military base, however the current language is unclear
as to whether the 25 percent is required on all residential units within the former base boundary or every
residential unit moving forward. The City cannot retroactively revise or control the previous mix of
affordable housing produced at Tustin Legacy to date as it does not own these properties any longer and
should not be penalized for something that was not law when these projects were built.
Moderate Income and Homeless Accommodations
Moderate income and homeless accommodations are excluded from"counting" toward the SLA requirements
and also excluded from the higher percentages under AB 1271. The City continues to believe that the 400+
beds for those experiencing homelessness and the moderate-income units provided to date at Tustin Legacy
are important steps in the housing advancement process. Moderate income is based on regional incomes and
especially important given the high cost of housing that exists today.
In conclusion, AB 1271 does not reflect a true understanding of the challenges of the City to adequately
finance infrastructure at Tustin Legacy nor provide the types of public amenities and employment
opportunities that are important to a diverse and vibrant community for all new residents. AB 1271 promotes
concepts that are financially unsustainable for Tustin Legacy and will ultimately limit future housing
development at the base and may ultimately risk the City's fiscal health.
We welcome a conversation with you and your staff to discuss our concerns and find a solution other than
the proposed 25 percent. Until that can happen, the City of Tustin is opposed to AB 1271 unless amended to
address the concerns outlined above.
Sincerely,
Letitia Clark

The Honorable Cecilia Aguiar-Curry
State Capitol Building, Room 157
Sacramento, CA 95814
SUBJECT: AB 14 (Aguiar-Curry) Support
Dear Assembly Member Aguiar-Curry:
The City of Tustin (City) is pleased to inform you of its support for AB 14 which would allow for
greater deployment of broadband infrastructure in schools throughout our community. This bill
would allow local education agencies to more easily access computers and internet services to
meet the needs of students that are participating in at-home learning. The bill would also provide
greater transparency to the way local education agencies request and receive vital education
equipment.
AB 14 would greatly benefit our community through the California Advanced Services Fund
(CASF) by allowing local governments and schools to provide greater access to broadband
services to our most vulnerable residents and students.As cities continue to respond to the COVID-
19 pandemic, it has become clear that local governments and schools need additional support to
address the lack of access to reliable internet services. With businesses and schools reacting to
statewide stay-at-home orders and the new norm of social distancing, we appreciate your work to
ensure that all Californians have access to reliable internet regardless of wealth or social status.
The bill would not only continue to ensure the collection of the CASF surcharge but would also
create a Broadband Bond Financing and Securitization Account to fund broadband infrastructure
deployment. These funding opportunities will strengthen existing programs and create additional
opportunities for communities like ours to ensure our local community, schools, and economy can
fully recover from the economic impacts of the pandemic.
The City also supports the bill's intent to clarify the term"unserved"to ensure that those who need
the most assistance will be eligible to receive it. We need additional equity in the way broadband

SUBJECT: AB 59 (Gabriel) Oppose Unless Amended
Dear Assembly Member Gabriel:
The City of Tustin (City) regrets to inform you of its oppose unless amended position on AB 59,
a bill related to statute of limitations for fee protests.
AB 59 would make it more difficult for local governments to sustainably plan for future
infrastructure projects due to the increase in potential liability and legal costs that would emerge.
AB 59 would also make it easier for interested parties to file actions against local governments,
make it harder to defend in those actions, and potentially create more liability in actions stemming
from fees and rate schedules that are adopted in accordance with current law.
AB 59 would repeal section 66022 of the Government Code, which establishes a 120-day statute
of limitations for legal challenges to new or increased connection fees or capacity charges. It also
would require a protest to be filed within 90 days after the imposition of the connection fee or
capacity charge on the applicant and an action to attack, review, set aside, void, or annul the
imposition of the fees to be filed within 180 days after delivery of a specified notice by the local
agency.
These provisions are concerning for future critical infrastructure projects. Without a secure and
stable source of revenue with reasonable expectations of its sustainability, local governments
cannot provide the high-quality services that our residents expect and deserve. If fee protests do
not have a fair and sensible statute of limitations from the time they are officially adopted,frivolous
and reckless lawsuits in the future can jeopardize our ability to effectively serve our residents.
It is for these reasons that the City of Tustin opposes AB 59 unless amended.
Sincerely,
Letitia Clark

SUBJECT: AB 377 (Rivas) Oppose Unless Amended
Dear Assembly Member Quirk:
The City of Tustin (City)writes to express its oppose unless amended position on AB 377 (Rivas)
which alter the State of California's existing water quality programs without providing any
solutions that will attain water quality objectives. This bill would circumvent local regulatory
authority and instead rewrite existing permitting policies without regard to local conditions,
existing agreements, or other priorities of the State.
The bill proposes a new prescriptive enforcement program with statutorily defined time limits that
eliminate State and Regional Water Board discretionary authority for permitting and enforcement
of water quality objectives. Under the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act which predates
the Federal Clean Water Act, local discretionary authority for permitting is critical to the design
and structure of state and regional board oversight and regulation of water quality in the State of
California. This bill would set prescriptive permitting terms and compliance requirements for
every single discharge permit throughout the State, as this bill does,would be a significant policy
departure with severe adverse consequences and contrary to the goals of the State and these
programs.
As you may know, the permitting approval process is incredibly varied and complex. There are
significant variations within these permits depending on the type of discharger, the point of
discharge and the conditions of the receiving surface water. For this reason alone, local permitting
authority is incredibly important and regional approaches to the management of pollutants are a
proven compliance mechanism.
The proposed requirements in the bill also would dictate how the regional water quality control
boards can issue permits, which tools and considerations are relevant in those decisions and also
how the permit limits must be enforced. Under current practice, these decisions are made at the
local level because the local conditions, challenges, and needs vary drastically across the state. If
enacted,these new requirements could significantly interfere with existing regional board program
DocuSign Envelope ID:25726A5D-5A85-4316-81 B9-787CBCF7ED77
schedules and could have other legitimate,if unintended consequences because of the broad scope
of the legislation and variety of permits and permittees impacted.
It is for these reasons that the City of Tustin opposes AB 377 (Rivas)unless amended.

SUBJECT: AB 1403 (Levine) Support
Dear Assembly Member Levine:
The City of Tustin (City) is pleased to inform you of its support for AB 1403, a bill which would
expand the definition of energy shortage within the list of conditions constituting a state of
emergency and a local emergency to include a planned deenergization event.
Many cities have been impacted by the widespread use of utility-initiated power shutoffs, which
have left millions of Californians without power in what has become a practically year-round fire
season. AB 1403 provides clarity and reiterates local agencies' authority to declare a local
emergency for a planned deenergization event,such as a utility-initiated power shutoff.This clarity
will allow cities to respond to utility-initiated power shutoff events more effectively and seek
financial assistance from the state to recover response costs.
Financial assistance is essential as local governments have limited resources due to the financial
implications of COVID-19, and deenergization events impose significant labor, outreach, and
backup generation costs. We support efforts to strengthen community resiliency and preparedness
for disasters and environmental threats, and AB 1403 would aid cities by providing additional
clarity needed to better respond to and mitigate against the harmful effects of these shutoff events.
It is for these reasons that the City of Tustin supports AB 1403.

SUBJECT: AB 1434 (Friedman) Oppose Unless Amended
Dear Assembly Member Friedman:
The City of Tustin (City) regrets to inform you of its respectful oppose unless amended position
on AB 1434 which would prematurely change the indoor water use standards established by AB
1668 (Friedman, 2018).
Specific to the proposed changes in AB 1434, AB 1668 set an indoor water use standard of 55
gallons per capita daily(GPCD)until January 1,2025, decreasing that to 52.5 GPCD until January
1,2030,with a final decrease to 50 GPCD beginning January 1,2030. The legislation also required
the Department of Water Resources (DWR), in coordination with the State Water Resources
Control Board(State Water Board),with broad input from all stakeholders,to conduct studies and
investigations to identify a standard for indoor residential water use that appropriately reflects best
practices for indoor water use.
To date, the report on the findings of DWR and the State Water Board has not been submitted to
the Legislature nor made available to stakeholders. Absent this final report, the indoor use
standards proposed in AB 1434 are not evidence based. Additionally,the studies and findings that
will be part of the report were added to the legislation in 2017-18 as a result of stakeholder
agreement that any changes to the indoor water standard should be evidence based.This bill usurps
the existing process for establishing a standard for indoor water use and would create additional
burdens on local governments and water providers.
It is for these reasons that the City of Tustin opposes AB 1434 unless amended.

Letitia Clark

SUBJECT: SB 4 (Gonzalez) Support
Dear Senator Gonzalez:
The City of Tustin(City)is pleased to inform you of its support for SB 4, a bill which would allow
for greater deployment of broadband infrastructure throughout our community. This bill would
require the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development to coordinate with state
and local agencies to better streamline local land use approvals and construction permit processes
for broadband infrastructure projects.
SB 4 would greatly benefit our community through the California Advanced Services Fund
(CASF)by allowing local governments to provide greater access to broadband services to our most
vulnerable residents.As cities continue to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic,it has become clear
that we need additional support to address the lack of access to reliable internet services for our
residents. With businesses and schools reacting to statewide stay-at-home orders and the new norm
of social distancing,we appreciate your work to ensure that all Californians have access to reliable
internet regardless of wealth or social status.
The bill would not only continue to ensure the collection of the CASF surcharge but would make
it easier for local governments to access this funding through grant programs. SB 4 would also
create a Broadband Bond Financing and Securitization Account to fund broadband infrastructure
deployment by local governments. These funding opportunities will strengthen existing programs
and create additional opportunities for cities like ours to ensure our local community and economy
can fully recover from the economic impacts of the pandemic.
The City also supports the bill's intent to clarify the term"unserved"to ensure that those who need
the most assistance will be eligible to receive it. Additional equity is needed in the way broadband
services are deployed, and our residents who require assistance would directly benefit should this
bill become law.
It is for these reasons that the City of Tustin supports SB 4.

SUBJECT: SB 619 (Laird) Support
Dear Senator Allen:
The City of Tustin(City)is pleased to inform you of its support for SB 619 which would help local
governments implement SB 1383 (Lara, 2016) and the subsequent California Department of
Resources and Recycling Recovery (CalRecycle) regulations. Over the last several years,
CalRecycle has been developing sweeping regulations to implement statewide organic waste
diversion goals set forth in SB 1383. SB 619 seeks help local governments implement SB 1383 by
allowing for additional flexibility to comply with the regulations.
Currently, local governments have until January 1, 2022,to implement the sweeping requirements
outlined in SB 1383. Additional flexibility to comply with these significant new requirements is
needed considering when the regulations were finalized,the COVID-19 pandemic, and the effects
these regulations will have on our residents and businesses. Although the regulations were
developed over several years, they were not finalized until November 2020, only giving local
governments thirteen months to fully comply with various facets of the regulations. Furthermore,
SB 1383 does not consider the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated shifting of city staff and
resources to protect public health and safety. The City has been on the front lines helping ensure
that our residents are safe and critical city operations remain operational.
Lastly, given that the regulations do not have a source of state funding to implement, the burden
of paying for the costs associated with implementing the program will fall to our residents and
businesses. With all the economic hardships facing cities, residents and businesses, additional
forgiveness and flexibility will be needed to soften the blow of what will surely be significant
increases to our solid waste rates. The City is working diligently to implement SB 1383 and is
committed to doing our part to meet the State's ambitious climate action plan goals. However,
given the reasons outlined above, additional flexibility is needed to avoid our serious challenges.
It is for these reasons that the City of Tustin supports SB 619.

Sacramento, CA 95814
SUBJECT: SB 623 (Newman) Support
Dear Senator Newman:
The City of Tustin(City)is pleased to inform you of its support for SB 623,which clarifies existing
law to ensure toll operators statewide can perform the necessary operations to enforce toll policies,
provide emergency road alerts to accountholders and fulfill interoperability for seamless cross-
agency billing around the state,while strengthening privacy protections.
SB 623 makes clear, consistent with the original legislative intent,that toll facilities are permitted
to share necessary information pertaining to their customers with the Department of Motor
Vehicles and other agencies to pursue toll collection and enforcement, and to share such
information with other toll facilities to carry out the state mandate for interoperability (allowing
one toll facility's customers to use any other toll facility within the state). SB 623 also provides
necessary amendments to permit California toll agencies to carry out the federal mandate for
interoperability (allowing one toll facility's customer to seamlessly use toll facilities in other
states).
Currently,toll agencies throughout the state have been subjected to litigation alleging that they are
violating legislation passed in 2010 (SB 1268, Simitian) related to the sharing of personally
identifiable information(which the law defines to include a license plate number) even though the
use of this information is essential for toll operators to perform necessary functions. For example,
toll agencies need to utilize license plate and/or toll transaction or vehicle owner information in
various circumstances, including:
- Communication with the Department of Motor Vehicles to find appropriate contact
information to process toll violations and toll invoices.
- Sending toll notices through the United States Postal Service.
- Communication with other toll agencies in California to ensure they're properly billing
customers for intrastate interoperability transactions.
- Communication with the Franchise Tax Board to enforce payment of unpaid tolls or
penalties.
DocuSign Envelope ID:25726A5D-5A85-4316-81 B9-787CBCF7ED77
Further, given ambiguous language in the Streets and Highways Code, it is possible that a court
could interpret the language to prohibit toll operators from sharing information with their
customers about fire or flood hazards,road closures and road repairs. Because of this ambiguity,
toll agencies are forced to weigh providing emergency alerts against potential lawsuits alleging
billions in statutory damages.
SB 623 also preserves and enhances privacy protections that prohibit the sale or other disclosure
of personal information except for essential operating functions of toll facilities and transit fare
payment systems. The bill retains the $2,500 per violation penalty in current law and adds the
requirement that a transportation agency describe in a"clear manner'' within its privacy policy the
process for providing opt-in consent and for revoking that consent.
SB 1268 included explicit language indicating that the limitations imposed by the bill were not
intended to impede the ability of toll operators to manage and operate their toll collection systems.
However, without the passage of SB 623, the operation of toll facilities could continue to be
severely hindered by class action lawsuits that distort the Legislature's intent and have already
cost public toll agencies tens of millions in legal expenses.
It is for these reasons that the City of Tustin supports SB 52.

Letitia Clark
