BACKGROUND: The Superintendent of the Liberty Union High School District has asked Supervisor Torlakson to obtain the support of the Board of Supervisors for AB 2460 . Supervisor Torlakson has indicated to the Superintendent that he supports AB 2460 and has directed that it be placed on the agenda for the Board' s consideration. AB 2460 prohibits a public agency from approving a development project unless a demonstrable method exists for financing the necessary roads, schools, water and sewer facilities, and other public facilities directly related to the development project . The bill would apply to any development project for which a public agency accepts an application as complete on or after January 1, 1990 . AB 2460 would require that a method of financing infrastructure be identified for those facilities which are directly related to the development project before the project could be approved. This will probably mean that some development projects will be slowed down until such financing can be identified. However, the bill will result in an increased level of assurance that financing will be available for necessary infrastructure before a development project is approved. This may lead to some increased dispute regarding what the precise impacts of a given development project are and what is acceptable evidence of available financing. p� !yiY� %f -� CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: -YES SIGNATURE: -RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR -RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE APPROVE --OTHER SIGNATURES: 4 Liw� ACTION OF BOAR 19 9 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED X OTHER X The Board further ME= that the Board's position and reasons for support be transmitted to CSAC VOTE OF SUPERVISORS I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE X UNANIMOUS(ABSENT AND CORRECT COPY OF AN ACTION TAKEN AYES: NOES: AND ENTERED ON THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD ABSENT: ABSTAIN: OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE SHOWN.

BACKGROUND: Senator Metzenbaum introduced S 833 to re-establish the right of cities and counties to regulate basic cable rates in areas with an absence of real competition. Senator Lieberman:introduced S 905 to restore the rights of cities and counties to regulate cable rates, to review ownership patterns at renewal or transfer,and to re-establish must-carry requirements. The National League of Cities supports both bills. Staff concurs that these bills are essential in the absence of real competition to allow for the regulation of cable rates by responsible government agencies. Since deregulation in 1982,our local cable companies have raised their rates between 44%and 86%. Complaints about rates are second only to customer service complaints. S 833 and S 905 would enable local government to once again provide citizens with protection against unreasonable and frequent cable rate increases in areas that lack effective competition.
