The exhibit features the creative "Swing Coat” designs of Ms. Patricia Montgomery, master quilter. Photographs as well as audio and video clips are also featured. ‘AAMLO’s Chief Curator, Rick Moss, created an environment that complements each swing coat and is conducive to placing the actions of these women in the historical context of this great movement. Especially for this exhibit, Mr. Moss commissioned the construction of a representation of the Montgomery, Alabama, city bus made famous by Rosa Parks and the ensuing bus boycott by African American citizens of that city. This project was made possible in part by a grant from The Creative Work Fund, a program of the Walter and Elise Haas Fund supported by generous grants from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and The James Irvine Foundation, Funds were also provided by the Friends of the Oakland Public Library.

Port of Oakland Offices, 430 Water Street, Oakland The next Noise Management Forum meeting will take place on Wednesday, July 20th at 6:30pm at the Port of Oakland's offices on Water Street on the 2nd Floor. The recent increase in community noise concerns associated with local airports was discussed at the January and March noise management forum meetings at length. The large majority of the public speakers came from the Montclair area, To provide a sense of the magnitude of this increase in noise concerns, Forum staff reported that although only 48 complaints were made in Oakland in 2014, 319 complaints were made in 2015, and over 200 complaints have been made in the first weeks of 2016 alone. These noise concerns became an issue for this community in the Fall of 2015. My office will continue to attend these OAK Noise Forum meetings until the noise concerns have been addressed. While Winter and Spring rains brought a welcome change from the drought, the moisture has also lead to the growth of weeds, brush and trees in the Oakland Hills. These plants can serve as fuel during a fire and place the Hills neighborhoods at greater fire risk unless removed. The Oakland Fire Department (OFD) Fire Prevention Bureau began Annual Vegetation inspections last month and inspection notices have been sent out to the ‘owners and occupants of property located in the Very High Fire Hazard Areas of the Oakland Hills. Residents can reduce wildfire risk, achieve compliance with Oakland's regulations and pass their annual inspection by installing wildfire resistant landscaping and creating at least 30-feet of defensible space around their homes by Clearing dead weeds and vegetation. A failure to comply increases the wildfire risk for neighboring properties and will result in a minimum $303 fine to the property owner. There are several resources - such as free extra yard trimming pick up from Waste Management and free chipping of small tree limbs and brush - that can make it easier for residents and property owners in the Very High Fire Hazard Areas to 60‘achieve and maintain compliance with these regulations. Please call (510) 238-7388 for more information about the chipping program. Another resource is the Demonstration Garden at the Gateway Emergency Exhibit Center at Caldecott Lane where you can learn ideas on how to meet Oakland's defensible space requirements.

LAN ‘NOISE ‘An important community forum on airplane noise in Oakland neighborhoods took place in late March on this topic. This meeting was co-hosted with Save Our Skies - East Bay, a local organization of East bay residents who are concerned about the disproportionate impact of airplane noise caused by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)'s Next Generation Air Transportation System. This event provided an opportunity for residents to learn from experts, hear from Port of Oakland staff members familiar with the Next Generation Air Transportation ‘System changes, and ask questions about the program and its impacts. OAK Noise Management Forum The next Noise Management Forum meeting will take place on Wednesday, July 20th at 6:30pm at the Port of Oakland's offices on Water Street.

These noise concerns became an issue for this community in the Fall of 2015 even though implementation of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) changes began in the end of 2014, Federal Legislation We have come to learn that increased noise complaint issues have been brought forward to the Federal Aviation Administration's Associate Administrator of Airports by way of two federal bills: - HR 3384 - Quiet Communities Act of 2015 -- Helps to carry out a national noise control research program, assessing the impacts of noise from varied noise sources ‘on mental and physical health. - HR 3965 - FAA Community Accountability Act of 2015 -- Takes action to limit negative impacts on the human environment in the vicinity of an affected airport; and may give preference to overlays of existing flight paths or procedures to ensure compatibility with land use in the vicinity of an affected airport. Support for Congressional Action have voiced your concerns to the FAA and my support for these two bills moving through Congress in two ways. First, I wrote to leaders in Congress with my support for these two bills in a letter signed by myself, President Pro Tem Larry Reid and ‘Mayor Schaaf. Second, | brought a Resolution of Support for these two bills to the full Council and received unanimous City Council support.

Don't lost sight of the progress you've made. Since 2013, | have watched the organization work extremely hard to adopt best practices to come into compliance with the NSA but more importantly, creating a culture of excellence beyond the NSA. The Council has stepped up too - reversing the prior practice we have made strategic and needed investment in technology, training, equipment and vehicles so you are equipped for success. | have watched complaints against the department decrease even as you work in partnership with other agencies and community-based groups to adopt a holistic crime reduction strategies. And you've done this through 4 Chiefs, 6 City Administrators and 5 newly elected council members. Thank you for doing this amazing work. I believe in you. | believe - | mean TRULY believe, that OPD is the only agency poised and positioned in this country to ‘overcome historic systems of injustice and to model the best of 21st Century policing. | believe Oakland, with our rich diversity and true commitment to building an inclusive and equitable city, will emerge as a department that will become known for its procedural justice victories, where you will gain the trust and admiration of people across race and economic demographics. | believe in your leadership, and your ability to do justice in a just and equitable way. But we're not there yet. This is not easy. American policing is in crisis. Across the country, we note the strain between community and law enforcement - especially in African American communities. The problems stem from what Secretary Condoleeza Rice calls our nation's birth defect - the bitter history of discrimination and injustice that color each of our daily perceptions of self and others and that have for decades characterized our justice system. None of us are responsible FOR our history; we are responsible TO each other and the history we are writing now. | appreciate each of you who participated in the Stanford study and who have created a path for us to understand better the disparities we see. This is important ground-breaking work and we must not let any of our reform efforts get lost in this moment where the media spotlight is focused on those who have exercised poor judgement, and, ifthe allegations hold true, violated our trust and broken the law. We cannot tolerate injustice anywhere in the agency because, as Dr. king said, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Those actions must be exposed and rooted out so that, those of you who serve faithfully can do so knowing that you proudly work for an organization of high integrity, worthy of the power, prestige and authority conferred upon it by the public. Let us all be found faithful ofthe trust that we now hold. Now is YOUR time. It's never too soon to do the right thing, No matter when you joined or were hired, you came to Oakland to make a difference. You saw Oakland as a city with great potential and opportunity for you to grow and to be a part of something special. Don't lost sight of it. Deep changes will not come without challenge and growing pains. But that is why we came. We alll came to do our part to make this government by the people work better for the people. 66believe in Sabrina. As she assumes command of the agency, | have confidence in City Administrator Sabrina Landreth and | believe that you will be well served by her steady leadership in the days ahead. You will find her accessible and ready to make the hard calls to honor your service and to restore our good name. | believe in Oaktand, Oakland is resilient and loving, We have survived major earthquakes, devastating fires, and scandals that revealed the lowest level of our human character. But each time, we've come back stronger and better. In the days ahead, let each of us commit to working together to make sure that Oakland lives up to our dreams. Do all ‘you can during this time to reflect on all that is good and right, support the leadership's efforts to root out that which is ot. We all are experiencing the shame and frustration of this setback but my prayer is that when the storm is over, we will find that we are stronger than we once believed and better for it Take of yourself, take care of each other and keep the faith.

POLICE DEPARTMENT MATTERS News fro! : Office of the Mayor Libby Schaaf MEDIA ADVISORY June 17, 2016 MAYOR LIBBY SCHAAF TO PROVIDE UPDATE ON OAKLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT MATTERS OAKLAND - Today, Mayor Schaaf and City Administrator Sabrina Landreth were informed by Assistant Police Chief Paul Figueroa that he is taking leave from his position effective immediately. He made the following statement: “I have informed the Mayor and the City ‘Administrator that I cannot fulfill the functions of the Acting Chief of Police for the City of Oakland and I am stepping aside to take leave. When I return, | am exercising my right to return to Captain and I will continue to serve the Oakland ‘Community, the Community I care deeply for. I thank the City for the opportunity and I am deeply sorry that I was unable to fulfill the functions of Acting Chief of Police.” Mayor Schaaf and City Administrator Landreth have determined that the most appropriate course of action at this time is for the command staff to report directly to the City Administrator while the City is conducting a national search for a new police chief, The tactical and operational decisions will remain with the OPD commanders as they always have. Administrative and personnel decisions will come directly to the City Administrator. “This reporting structure will reinforce the importance of civilian oversight of the Police Department, especially given the recent revelations of serious misconduct by officers in the Department,” said City Administrator Sabrina Landreth, Mayor Schaaf also announced that the City of Oakland is on the verge of closing an investigation that centers on racist text messages sent by police officers. “I will not choose to say anything today that will undermine the City Of Oakland’s ability to impose the maximum discipline in this case,” said Mayor Schaaf. “As a Mayor of Oakland I am here to run a police department not a frat house,” said Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf. 6“While these reports of misconduct are disturbing, what is positive is that the measures and structures we have put in place to root out this type of behavior, are working, The new Deputy Chief position to review all cases involving serious allegations of misconduct, as well as my recent Executive Order requiring that, criminal misconduct be reported immediately to the District Attorney's Office, are making an impact.” “Oakland has made incredible progress in safety and progressive reforms, including a more than 40 percent reduction in shootings and homicides and implementation of our body worn camera program, procedural justice training and implicit bias research. And I am angry that this progress has been marred by this scandal.” “L know that the vast majority of the men and women of the Oakland Police Department are dedicated public servants whose efforts have moved this department forward and made Oakland safer. Once again I recognize that the recent turmoil in the department has been difficult for our employees and has shaken the public trust, but I remain firmly committed to ensuring the long-term health, stability and effectiveness of a principled, community-oriented Oakland Police Department.” “Lam determined to root out a culture that tolerates unethical behavior.” “Ata time when communities across the country are questioning police culture, it is critical that our officers operate ethically. This is especially important in a community like Oakland, where trust between the police and the community has been broken in the past.” “I want the residents in Oakland and communities around the country who are watching what is happening to know that we have zero tolerance for this, and while it’s not easy, we will make the lasting change that is needed and deserved. “Lam cleaning house, bringing in outside agencies to ensue the integrity of our investigations and will be merciless in punishing those who are found guilty.” Sa nKaplan, Rebecca Kaplan, Rebecca Friday, June 17, 2016 6:28 PM "KaplanforOakland@gmail.com’ Subject: Fu: Message from Mayor Schaaf and City Administrator Landreth Sent: Friday, June 17, 2016 6: To: Announcements ‘Subject: Message from Mayor Schaaf and City Adm 16 PM istrator Landreth Dear City Staff, We were informed by Assistant Police Chief Paul Figueroa that he is taking leave from his position effective Immediately.

This is the total amount of funding that was awarded in contracts for FY 15-16 but remains unspent by the providers, based on invoices received to date. Portions of that total amount are specifically related to operating costs of the neighborhood centers as noted below; other portions of the unspent funds are for direct client training and support services, and are not available for operations. The contract for the West Oakland center provided $210,000 for operations for FY 15-16. Approximately 38% of those funds remain. The premise of the recommendation was that by providing $130,000 of additional funds, together with the remaining 15-16 funds, there would be $210,000 available going into the next fiscal year. The East Oakland center was provided $139,000 for operations for FY 15-16 and approximately 51% remains unspent. Unlike the West Center, however, the East Oakland center was included for funding of $150,000 for operations in the RFP proposal that received a contract award for Comprehensive services for 16-17. The total budgeted award for Comprehensive is 13% greater than the prior year funding. We also did not recommend additional funding for Unity Council, for simitar reasons. Although the FY 16-17 contract award to Unity Council for the new Sector Access Point was less than they were awarded last year for their career center, they also have approximately 35% of last year’s funding unspent. hope this helps.

The actual, minimal cost for 12 months of operation is $270,000 (based upon the original award under the City’s neighborhood one stop REP strategy.) You are correct that we (PIC) provided for the East Oakland site in our Comprehensive proposal, but that represents significant underfunding, and was the best we could do with the funds that were made available in the recent RFP. To be fully and properly funded to perform the necessary services, an additional $100,000 is required. You mentioned at the 6/14 CED Committee meeting that $1.4 mil. was available in carry forward funds to potentially support the neighborhood centers. That was good news, however, this does not appear to be reflected in your supplemental report. Please let us know if you have questions or need further information.

Oakland Engages Stanford University For Groundbreaking, Independent Stop Data Report — On Wednesday, June 15, Mayor Libby Schaaf announced the release of Stanford University’s independent, 13-month study of Oakland police traffic and pedestrian stop data. The report ‘examines the outcomes of over 28,000 stops by race. The report also includes the first academic analysis of a month’s worth of body-worn camera audio recordings, a review of 1,000 police “narrative” reports on traffic stops, as well as a survey of more than 400 community members about their views on police-community relations. The Stanford study, led by social psychologist and MacArthur grant recipient Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt, makes 50 recommendations in four categories that will result in critical changes to the Oakland Police Department's (OPD's) organizational values and culture: data analysis policies & practices training positive community engagement vvvy COPD has already made significant progress in implementing a number of Stanford’s recommendations, and fully supports complete implementation of all 50 recommendations. The way in which OPD engaged Stanford for this independent study and the report recommendations offer a model for how police departments and law enforcement agencies across the country can examine their organizations and make changes to help track and mitigate disparities in policing to ensure more equitable outcomes and a better qualitative experience when police encounters do ‘occur. While the report found no explicit bias, the researchers did find a number of significant dispatities in experience by race. For example, African American men were more likely to be handcuffed during a stop (1 out of 4 times) than whites (1 out of 15 times) even when no arrest ‘was ultimately made; and Black men were arrested 1 out of every 6 times versus 1 out of 14 times for their white counterparts. To read the full independent report, executive summary and recommendations, as well as to view a video summarizing the findings from Stanford University, please visit httpy/stanford.io/IUPORxo. To date, 90 percent of OPD’s sworn officers have received bias training from Dr. Eberhardt and her team. The Stanford research group will continue working independently with the support of OPD to examine more recent OPD data for improvement and to implement the recommendations made in the report. OPD is one of two dozen law enforcement agencies around the country initially selected by the White House to participate in the Police Data Initiative that evolved from President Obama's Task Force on 2st Century Policing. The group has since grown to 53 cities. Oakland continues to encourage transparency and access to police data with efforts like Mayor's Schaaf"s release of the inaugural 2015 Principled Policing: Police Discipline report outlining police discipline, which will be followed up bi-annually. To read the 2015 Principled Policing: Police Discipline Report, please visit hitp://www2,oaklandnet.com/n/OAK059251. OPD is also the first large police force in the nation to fully deploy body-worn cameras. As a result of the Stanford study, the Oakland Police Department will now lead the State of California in complying with the California Attorney General’s requirement that police departments collect and report police and crime data with racial information included.

The actual, minimal cost for 12 months of operation is $270,000 (based upon the original award under the City’s neighborhood one stop REP strategy.) You are correct that we (PIC) provided for the East Oakland site in our Comprehensive proposal, but that represents significant underfunding, and was the best we could do with the funds that were made available in the recent RFP. To be fully and properly funded to perform the necessary services, an additional $100,000 is required. ‘You mentioned at the 6/14 CED Committee meeting that $1.4 mil. was available in carry forward funds to potentially support the neighborhood centers. That was good news, however, this does not appear to be reflected in your supplemental report. Please let us know if you have questions or need further information.

During the 15-day suspension, the owner will not be able to sell any alcohol at the location. The suspension follows an investigation conducted by the ABAT unit and agents from Alcoholic Beverage Control. Officers visited the location, and discovered Khat, a chewable shrub with stimulant effects, behind the counter. khat is illegal due to one of the mind altering chemicals found in it, cathinone, which is a Schedule | drug (a controlled substance with no recognized therapeutic use). In addition to the suspension of 15 days, the location also had revocation stayed for a period of two years. Funding for this investigation came in large part from the Grant Assistance Program (GAP) grant, which was awarded to the ABAT unit by the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to support ABAT unit enforcement operations at Oakland liquor stores.

Oakland's Public Safety Committee is debating whether the Oakland Police Department needs stronger oversight. Deacon Reginald Lyles, a retired officer, said police shouldn't be afraid of this. On Tuesday, groups who have been advocating for stronger oversight of the Oakland Police Department for years, stood in front of Oakland City Hall in solidarity against recent police behavior. Carroll Fife, co-chair of the Oakland Alliance said, “Let's not use the euphemism ~ misconduct. That's too nice. Let's call it what it is — terror. TI is police terror.” ‘The proposal, sponsored by Councilmembers Noel Gallo and Dan Kalb, creates a new inspector general position over the police. Italso sets up ai independent, civilian police commission that supporters say will have more teeth than the current commission, which can only offer the police department advice. Kalb said, “Who really wants to be on a commission if they can’t really do a whole lot? So, we want to get strong people, good people and give it some authority with appropriate checks and balances.” ‘This proposal is coming on the heels of allegations that more than a dozen Oakland officers and officers from neighboring law enforcement agencies had sex with a prostitute, three of them when she was underage. In return — they offered her protection on the streets. 95Amid all this, police Chief Sean Whent is now out ofa job.

Officials at the state Police Officers Standards and Training agency, or POST, had said earlier Monday that Oakland’s plan to have police commanders report to City ‘Administrator Sabrina Landreth was illegal. They cited both California government code and a state attorney general’s opinion backing their argument that the city needed to name an acting chief to head the department, which is embroiled in multiple scandals and has gone through three chiefs in less than two weeks. Acting Assistant Chief David Downing is in charge of day-to-day decisions for the Police Department, Schaaf’s office said, while Landreth is overseeing administrative and. personnel decisions. Late Monday, POST conceded it had made its argument before the city attorney's office cited more recent federal case law, from 2011, exempting charter cities such as Oakland from the requirement.Ralph Brown, a spokesman for POST, confirmed that it appeared Oakland was correct after all in determining that, as a charter city, it was exempt from state law requiring general law cities to name an acting police chief. According to the 2011 case law, charter cities have the authority “to constitute, regulate and govern police departments” — meaning Landreth can run Oakland’s police administrative and personnel matters. “Acting Assistant Chief of Police David Downing is the highest-ranking member of the Police Department and is the City’s POST designee in charge of tactical and operational matters," mayoral spokeswoman Erica Terry Derryck said in a statement late Monday. Schaaf had said Friday that police commanders would be reporting to Landreth. At the same time, she said Assistant Chief Paul Figueroa, whom she had installed as acting chief just two days before, had backed out of the job, gone on leave and said he wanted to return to the force as a captain. The mayor wouldn’t explain Figueroa’s decision but said it had nothing to do with a scandal in which several officers are under suspicion of having sex with a teenage sex worker, She also said Figueroa wasn’t connected to another investigation, this one involving racist text messages that Schaaf says several African American officers sent. Separately, an Oakland homicide cop is under investigation for allegedly having his then- girlfriend help him write his reports. ‘The sex scandal resulted in Chief Sean Whent's resignation June 9. His interim replacement, BART Assistant Police Chief Ben Fairow, was fired Wednesday. Schaaf wouldn't say why, but his old boss at BART, Police Chief Kenton Rainey, said Fairow had admitted to an extramarital affair more than a decade earlier, when he worked for the Oakland Police Department.Kaplan, Rebecca From: Heidi Kettler Sent: Monday, June 20, 2016 6:20 PM To: ‘Anna Gee (Miley's Asst); Anne O, Calvin Fong (Bates’ Scheduler) (cfong@cityofberkeley.info); Carole Groom; Charles Burress ; Cynthia Patton; Dave Hudson; David Canepa (djcanepa07@gmail.com); Dawn Argula; Eileen Ng; Frances Hsieh (Avalos); Jeremy Pollock (Avalos); Joe Gordon; John Gioia; John.

Hope that the following helps to clarify our continuing concern regarding your proposed funding for the Neighborhood One Stop Career Centers. Here goes There is not $1.4M remaining unspent in program cost funding from 2015-2016 funding, This figure fails to account for the remaining month of the fiscal year, and for invoices currently pending with your office. The vast majority of the so-called unspent $1.4M funds are, in any event, training funds which cannot be used to cover program costs. ‘The funding you have set forth for the West Oakland and East Oakland Neighborhood One Stop Career Centers for 2015-2016 does not reflect the cost of operating those centers. Please remember that Neighborhood One Stops sustained a massive 22% cut in the current year (2015-2016) compared to the state WIOA allotment cut to Oakland of only 1%. The cost of operating the Neighborhood One Stops was set by the City in 2013-2014 at $270,000 for the West and Central and $150,000 in the East. Even those figures represented a significant underfunding of the Neighborhood One Stops based on their volume of services as well as the cost of inflation. (The original award to PIC for the operation of the East Oakland Center was $150,000 and this was based on significant resource sharing available in the East, resources which evaporated in 2014-2015, due to changes in the County-sponsored services at Eastmont Town Center.) I think it would be useful to compare City funding for the Job Resource Center with the amount proposed for the Neighborhood One Stops especially in West Oakland, as both facilities are similarly situated. ‘As curtently proposed by City staff, the Comprehensive One Stop Career Center will not get a 13% increase in funding in 2016-2017. This statement has been quite misleading to the WDB and the City Council. Actual funding in 15/16 is $1.15m; proposed funding for 16/17 is $1.035m (a 9% reduction.) It seems that you have not taken into account our current year funding for Rapid Response activities which are required of the Comprehensive One Stop operator. aPlease let me know if any of this is unclear or if you need additional information. Thanks, ge Gay Plair Cobb Chief Executive Officer Oakland Private Industry Council, Inc. 1212 Broadway, Suite 100 Oakland, California 94612 Tel: 510 768 4411 Fax: 510 839 3766 From: Sawicki, Mark [mailto:MSawicki@oaklandnet.com] Sent: Friday, June 17, 2016 6:22 PM To: Gay Plair Cobb Ce: Reid, Larry; McElhaney, Lynette; Kaplan, Rebecca; Campbell Washington, Annie; Cappio, Claudia; Richard de Jauregui Subject: RE: June 21 City Council Agenda —- WDB 16-17 Budget Gay - T appreciate your email sharing your concerns about the recommended additional funding for the neighborhood centers. I just wanted to clarify some of the information that was presented at CED and in the supplemental report, and how we got to the recommendation. The $1.4M figure mentioned at CED on 6/14 is not “available carry forward”. This is the total amount of funding that was awarded in contracts for FY 15-16 but remains unspent by the providers, based on invoices received to date. Portions of that total amount are specifically related to operating costs of the neighborhood centers as noted below; other portions of the ‘unspent funds are for direct client training and support services, and are not available for operations. The contract for the West Oakland center provided $210,000 for operations for FY 15-16. ‘Approximately 38% of those fun ‘in, The premise of the recommendation was that by providing $130,000 of additional funds, together with the remaining 15-16 funds, there would be $210,000 available going into the next fiscal year. The East Oakland center was provided $139,000 for operations for FY 15-16 and approximately 51% remains unspent. Unlike the West Center, however, the East Oakland center was included for funding of $150,000 for operations in the RFP proposal that received a contract award for Comprehensive services for 16-17. The total budgeted award for Comprehensive is 18% greater than the prior year funding, 2We also did not recommend additional funding for Unity Council, for similar reasons. ‘Although the FY 16-17 contract award to Unity Council for the new Sector Access Point was less than they were awarded last year for their career center, they also have approximately 35% of last year’s funding unspent.

The actual, minimal cost for 12 months of operation is $270,000 (based upon the original award under the City’s neighborhood one stop REP strategy.) ‘You are correct that we (PIC) provided for the East Oakland site in our Comprehensive proposal, but that represents significant underfunding, and was the best we could do with the funds that were made available in the recent RFP. To be fully and properly funded to perform the necessary services, an additional $100,000 is required. You mentioned at the 6/14 CED Committee meeting that $1.4 mil. was available in carry forward funds to potentially support the neighborhood centers. That was good news, however, this does not appear to be reflected in your supplemental report. Please let us know if you have questions or need further information.

As we await the Governor's signature, we wanted to bring one bill to your attention for review and possible action. Its Senate Bill 133 — Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) and it's a gut and amend for short-term online vacation rentals On one hand, the bill makes some good changes since the last version including the shift from an “opt out’ system to an “opt in’ for both platforms and local agencies to participate, and a few other changes that have been requested. One the other hand, there are stil problems which are listed below. The Association of Counties is taking the lead on this and if we decide to engage we would work with them. Issues that have been raised that impact local government include: + Allonline vacation rental platforms, regardless if in a participating jurisdiction, are insulated from providing certain data to the city or county where they operate (Section 7283.69). + 8B 133 does not adequately protect the collection of the full rate of TOT (Section 7283.61) nor other local assessments often applied to lodging, such as business improvementitourism district assessments. + The bills silent on the preservation of existing local authority to regulate existing land use, zoning, and health and safety ordinances for short-term vacation rentals. (Note tax protections in Section 7283.67) = $B 133 does not adequately address commercial online operators (such as Expedia) that also list through online vacation rental platforms since definition of “unit’ is not explicit. + Definitions of ‘personally identifiable information” and “Identifiable transaction records" overly broad and would create carve out for online vacation rental platforms not afforded to other businesses that must remit tax information to cities and counties. ‘With that, your input please. This Week in Washington... The mood in Washington was somber but combative this week in the wake of the terrorist attack in Orlando. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy (CT) took to the Senate floor to filibuster for greater gun control, and Republicans scrambled to stay ahead of the latest anti-immigrant proclamations by their presumpti presidential candidate, Donald Trump. The filibuster gambit appeared to bear fruit as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is allowing several gun control amendments (by both parties) to receive votes next week, as part of the debate on the FY2017 Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations bill. However, it is unclear whether there are enough votes for any of the four proposed amendments (two Republican, two aDemorat) to reach the 60-vote threshold for cloture. Despite the Hill's heavy focus on terrorism and gun control, other business did move forward as several appropriations bills were voted out of full committee (more details below), and the Senate passed its $602 billion 2017 Defense Authorization bill. Appropriations Update ‘After the typically popular FY2017 Energy & Water bill suffered an embarrassing defeat on the House floor, GOP leadership was able to get back on track by shepherding the FY2017 Legislative Branch spending bill through the House without controversy. The bill includes raises for House staff, although not for Members of Congress. The House also passed its FY2017 Defense spending bill, which has drawn veto threats from the ‘White House for shifting money within accounts to fund more aircraft Separately, the House and Senate continue to confer regarding the FY2017 Millitary-Construction & Veterans Affairs appropriations bill, and Zika funding; negotiators are optimistic that a final agreement can be reached by next week, Pree) Level Floor Vote & Detalls ‘Agriculture-FDA Passed Committee at $213] Passed Committee at ‘None billion $21.26 billon Commerceslustice- | Passed Commilio at $66] Passed Commitee _at [ Imminent.

Congress stays busy next week: on Monday, the Senate is likely to take procedural votes on gun control measures offered by Senators Grassley (R-IA), Murphy (D-CT), Cornyn (R-TX), and Feinstein (D-CA). On the House side, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has laid out a schedule that includes floor consideration of the FY2017 Financial Services & General Government appropriations bill. As in years past, the White House has voiced its displeasure at the bill, which makes further cuts to IRS funding and blocks various Dodd-Frank regulations. Racing Against the Clock Time is dwindling for Congress to act on spending bills and other priorities. The House will be in session four days next week, and has the following week off. The Senate has nine legislative days left before it takes off for the July 4” holiday. Both chambers will recess for the final two weeks of July to accommodate each party's political convention, and then Congress will take its annual summer recess for the month of 2‘August. Given the small number of legislative days left on the calendar prior to the end of the government's 2016 Fiscal Year on September 30, lawmakers and their staff have been hinting at the possibility of a Continuing Resolution to keep the government open and funded through at least the first part of the new Fiscal Year and possibly until after the general election in November.

Both chambers will resume a busy schedule next week, with the Senate looking to pass its Defense Authorization bill and House Republicans continue seeking a strategy to prevent Democratic appropriations amendments aimed at requiring protections for LGBT employees of federal contractors. The House is also expected to move forward with a bill to assist Puerto Rico in restructuring its $72 billion debt; itremains unclear whether there are enough votes to pass the legislation, despite its support from both Speaker Ryan and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). On the appropriations front, the House and Senate are prepared to begin a conference negotiation on legislation to fund the President's Zika request. The conference will also include Military-Construction and Veterans Affairs appropriations, and may include Transportation-HUD appropriations although that remains unclear. On Tuesday, the Senate Appropriations Labor-HHS Subcommittee will markup its FY2017 bill, which may set the stage for a battle regarding the White House's recent executive action regarding transgender access to school bathrooms.

Today the Senate and Assembly Appropriation Committees will meet to determine the fate of hundreds of bills. As you know, today is the last day for bills marked ‘fiscal’ to get out of their respective Appropriation committees and then move to the floor. Side bar, next Friday is the deadline for bills to move out of their house of origin so that’s going to be intense too. It’s going to take the weekend to sort through the bills that are moving and the bills that are on hold, so this update is less on legislation and more on the budget. State Budget This week the Assembly and Senate Budget Subcommittees have finished their hearings on the various proposals within the budget. Next Wednesday marks the first meeting of the Assembly/Senate Budget Conference Committee and we are expecting committee members to be named over the weekend (once the Appropriation Committees wrap up). Most of the larger items (transportation infrastructure plan, housing, cap and trade, etc.) will be ironed out in negotiations between the Administration and legislative leadership, and we don't anticipate there will be too much movement on those items next week. Regarding the Governor's ‘by right’ housing proposal, | have a meeting set next week with his staff to get more specific information.

Their proposal includes: + $334.5 million for drought response; + $1.1 billion in Affordable Housing Investments such as © $650 million in new funds for a variety of affordable housing purposes, © $237 million embraced in the Governor's May Revision to use Prop 63 funds to address housing issues for the mentally ill, © $200 milion continued commitment of Cap and Trade funds for affordable housing purposes, Allocate $3 Million for the Brace and Bolt Program; and Creates a seismic safety revolving loan program for retrofitting buildings (more on that at the bottom of this email) Cap and Trade The Assembly Cap and Trade expenditure plan recognizes that details for Cap and Trade will be subject to negotiation in the final budget package. Therefore, the following focus includes a greater emphasis on ‘+ Clean Vehicle Rebates; Energy Efficiency; Transportation and Transit; Redirect $100 million to the Active Transportation program for bike and ped improves; and Identify certain grade separation projects for funding within the one-time $400 milion for Transit and Intercity Rail Capital Program funding. For a longer, detailed list please let me know. Transportation funding proposal The Assembly is proposing to shift the Governor's proposed transportation funding and reform package back to the policy process and remove those provisions from the budget package. That isn't a good sign that the needed 2/3" votes are accounted for. Public safety related The Assembly is proposing to: «Provide $10 million to support grants for community groups providing services (including housing) to human trafficking victims; «Include $20 million for municipal police departments to increase positive outcomes between city police and the homeless community, persons with mental health needs, and high-risk youth populations; © Authorize $50 million in grants to provide 1-time resources to community providers focused on homelessness, human trafficking, and domestic violence; © Include a $20 million grant program for local governments experiencing spikes in violent crime to promote safer communities; + Provide $5 million to purchase naloxone kits for nonprofits and governmental entities (law enforcementifirst responders) to be used to reduce the rate of fatal drug overdose caused by prescription analgesics and other drugs, and + Approve $2 million to reimburse local law enforcement agencies for specified costs associated with outfitting officers with body cameras. Seismic safety ‘We wanted to update you our efforts to create a seismic funding program via the State budget..As you well know, earthquakes are to California what hurricanes are to the Gulf Coast, capable of wrecking complete and total disaster, only there is no warning system for earthquakes. The San Andreas Fault which stretches more than 800 miles is long overdue for an eruption and would impact the Bay Area, the coastal region, Southern California, and the Central Valley. For the last few months we have been working with Assembly Member Adrin Nazarian to create a new funding program to give residential and commercial property owners the opportunity to access state funds for the specific use of retrofitting their buildings. This includes addressing ‘soft stories’, anchoring the foundation, bracing cripple walls, and other CIP related upgrades. FyThe goals of this effort are threefold; 4, Help retain the existing housing stock, especially at a time of high pressure on housing; 2. Avoid displacement of tenants, especially the ones living in older housing; and 3. Protect the health and safety of our residents. We have succeeded in getting the Assembly to propose a ilion dollar appropriations initial seed mon and sustain the expansion of the program as loan repayments are made. Specifically the funding will be in the State Treasurer's Office in the CalCAP program which encourages banks and other financial institutions to make loans that fall outside of most banks' conventional underwriting standards. Essentially, this program will help property owners without much capital or access to capital to make these much needed improvements. However our work continues as we need to secure support in the Senate and then the Governor. Thanks to CM Kalb and the Mayor's office for all of your work on this! This Week in Washington...Both chambers of Congress maintained their busy schedules this week, as lawmakers prepared to head home for the Memorial Day recess. Making headlines today in Washington is the House's failed attempt to pass its $37.4 billion Energy & Water appropriations bill. Ina continuation of last week's controversy over LGBT amendments, the bill failed on a vote of 112-305, with 130 Republicans joining 4175 Democrats. Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wl) accused Democrats of sabotaging the bill by successfully pursuing an amendment to uphold an executive order barring federal funds for contractors without LGBT protections for their workers, but then opposing the overall bil The House was able to pass its Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2016 (S. 2012) on a vote of 241-178. However, the bipartisan Senate-passed version was first amended by adding dozens of House-passed bills relating to energy, natural resources and lands, many of which are highly controversial. Speaker Ryan and Minority Leader Pelosi (D-CA) named House Conferees for the bil. If the controversial House additions survive the conference, Senate passage is unlikely. Defense Bills Moving Forward Senate Leader McConnell (R-KY) has indicated that the Senate will consider the Defense Authorization bill after it returns from recess, on June 6", with the intention of moving to the Defense Appropriations bill shortly after. Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has said that Democrats will oppose this plan if funding for defense programs is increased without also allowing for an increase in non-defense discretionary programs. Appropriations Process In response to two weeks of difficult LGBT votes for moderate Republicans, Speaker Ryan and House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-KY) are considering rule changes that would make it more difficult to propose floor amendments to spending bills. This is the first crack in Ryan's promise for “open amendment" processes for spending bills on the House floor. ‘On the Democratic side, Appropriations Ranking Member Nita Lowey (D-NY) says ‘she expects an Omnibus or Continuing Resolution to carry spending forward into the new Fiscal Year, given Republican difficulties in passing the Energy & Water bl Budget Initiatives Both chambers also continue their quest to reform the budgeting process. The House Budget Committee held its first hearing aimed at revamping the 1974 Congressional Budget Act. On the Senate side, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced a bill to require that the President draft a separate annual budget for regulations, Sen. Lee's legislation would introduce caps for regulatory spending Senate Appropriations The Senate Appropriations Committee easily passed its $574.5 billion Defense Appropriations bill, setting-up a fight with the House regarding the Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) “war fund” account. The House bill siphons money away from the OCO to fund base requirements, and would leave the account empty by April 2017. The White House has issued a veto threat of the House's bill. 30
