BY,
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
2001 State Legislative Program
For 2001, the Board of Supervisors adopted a State Legislative Program that addressed the issues
of general revenue/finance; the library; health services; human services; animal services; land
use/community; and the justice system. This legislative platform provided direction and guidance for
identification of bills for monitoring and development of recommendations to the Board on positions
of support or opposition. In addition, the platform identified issues for County sponsored bills. (See
Attachment 1, 2001 Legislative Tracking Summary for detail)
Monitor- The County monitored 60 bills during the 2001 legislative session, in addition to the 14 bills
on which the County took a specific position. As bills were introduced, they were reviewed and, if
determined relevant to the County's Legislative Program, e-mail links to the bills were sent to
appropriate County staff for their review. In some cases, the result was recommendation of a
position of support, opposition or opposition unless amended. Each time there was any action on
the bill, such as amendments or committee hearings, an e-mail link with updated language was sent
to the appropriate contact person as well.
Su ort - The Board of Supervisors adopted positions of support for 6 bills, two of which were
chaptered: AB 589 (Wesson) which extends the property tax administration loan program and SB
106 (Sher) which continues authorization for Abandoned Vehicle Service Authority funding.
Oppose - The Board of Supervisors took a position of opposition to one bill and "opposition unless
amended" to one other bill; both are still in committee.
Sponsor- The Board of Supervisors sponsored six bills in the 2001 legislative session. All remain in
committee except for SB 425 (Torlakson), which was chaptered on July 23, 2001. SB 425 authorizes
the Board of Supervisors to raise certain fees to support oversight and coordination of the County's
Domestic Violence Initiative.
2002 State Financial Status
The State Legislature and Governor began the 2001 legislative session with a state general fund
surplus. They are entering the 2002 legislative session with a projected $4.5 billion problem this
fiscal year and a $12.4 billion problem in the budget year, according to the Legislative Analyst. This
change in financial position dramatically alters the prospects for legislation in the coming year and,
by necessity, must refocus the County's efforts towards preservation of its revenues and programs
for the citizens and businesses of.Contra Costa County.
2001 - 02 State Budget Reduction Proposal
On November 14, 2001, the Governor released his proposed "Reduction in 2001-02 Spending" plan
(Attachment 2) that outlines state general fund spending reductions totaling $2.248 billion. The
spending plan will be considered by the State Legislature in an extraordinary session in January.
Proposed expenditure reductions which could affect Contra Costa include:
■ Downtown Rebound Program - $1 million of grant funds for planning, study and $3.1 million
of loans to convert existing nonresidential buildings to residential use. This could affect
County initiatives in Rodeo, Bay Point and EI Sobrante.
■ Multifamily Housing Program Loan Fund - $45.1 million of loans for construction and
rehabilitation of affordable multiple family housing. Contra Costa County has projects in the
"pipeline" which could have competed for this funding.
■ Brownfield Initiatives - $44 million in funding for environmental investigation and clean up for
Brownfield redevelopment. This program could have been a source of funding for the Rodeo
Waterfront Project.
■ Expanded Access to Primary Care - $10 million to reimburse public clinics for their cost of
providing uncompensated health care. It is well known that the state and federal governments
are underfunding open door providers, such as Contra Costa County, that care for the medical
needs of people in poverty.
2
■ Healthy Family Program Parent Expansion - $214.8 million delay to July 2003 to expand
Healthy Family eligibility for uninsured parents with family incomes of up to 250% of the
poverty level. To the extent that the uninsured population increases, this could increase
uncompensated care costs for the County.
■ Before/After School Expansion - $29.7 million for the Before and After School Learning and
Safe Neighborhoods partnership program available to jurisdictions through a competitive grant
process. Contra Costa County had submitted an application in partnership with the West
Contra Costa School District, Mt. Diablo Unified School District, Pittsburg Unified School
District and Antioch Unified School District for $1.6 million, which would have complemented
the County's own after school program. School programs are very supportive of the County's
efforts to ensure a safe learning environment for children while their parents are at work.
■ Public Library Foundation - $7.9 million reduction of the Public Library Foundation program
which provides grants to local libraries. The County library system is expected to lose
approximately $60,000 of ongoing funding, which is equivalent to the operation of a medium
size library at a 29-hour per week level.
CSAC Recommendations for Balancing the State Budget
In August, the CSAC Executive Committee formed an ad hoc State Budget Task Force to identify
recommendations on reducing the state budgetary shortfall while not adversely affecting counties.
The Budget Task Force developed five principles to guide specific recommendations:
1. Provide vehicle license fee (VLF) funds at current levels.
2. Explore changing program responsibilities, structures and sharing ratios without negatively
impacting service delivery.
3. Accompany additional responsibilities for services or increased caseloads to counties with
adequate ongoing revenue sources.
4. Preserve the ability of counties to protect the public against terrorism by providing adequate
revenues for public safety, public health, emergency response and medical services.
5. Accompany reductions in either state or local revenues to counties with commensurate
reductions in responsibilities.
Using these principles as guidelines, the Task Force developed specific recommendations on how
the State could reduce its expenditures (See Attachment 3 for details). On October 22nd, these
recommendations were sent to the Department of Finance. At a follow up meeting with DOF in early
November, the Task Force received a favorable response. However, the degree to which these
recommendations were accepted will not be known until the release of the Governor's proposed
budget on January 22, 2002.
The Budget Task Force also recognized the need for a strong media campaign to communicate the
impact of state reductions on county programs and "real" people. As budget deliberations progress,
CSAC will be asking counties for standardized pieces of information and requesting that counties
develop specific outreach for the local media.
2002 State Legislative Program
The proposed 2002 state legislative program covers a broad array of issues of interest to
departments and Board members. As noted earlier, it is anticipated that much of the County's
advocacy efforts will need to be focused toward the state budgetary process. A number of advocacy
positions relate to either general or program-specific revenue, as do several of the sponsored bill
proposals. However, it should be recognized that successful resolution of any bill which would result
in state general fund expenditures/costs is problematic. In total, the legislative program includes 21
advocacy positions as well as 8 bills for the County to sponsor or continue to sponsor:
SPONSOR legislation, or pursue a regulatory amendment, to ensure Contra Costa eligibility
for Jobs/Housing Balanced Program incentive payments.
3
SPONSOR legislation to amend the Quimby Act to authorize use of park dedication fees to
develop a Countywide park master plan.
SPONSOR legislation to limit the County's financial liability for emergency health care
provided to individuals in the custody of peace officers to Medi-Cal rates.
SPONSOR legislation to clarify that County payments to private, non-contracting hospitals for
inpatient services shall be based on a percentage of actual hospital charges that are derived
from either the lower of the "audited" or "as filed" cost reports submitted to the State of
California.
SPONSOR legislation to return the County's trial court maintenance of effort to the level it was
prior to the enactment of SB 815, which penalized Contra Costa County for a state calculation
error in the maintenance of effort requirement of Contra Costa County and another county.
SPONSOR legislation that would authorize Boards of Supervisors to require any party.
recording a subdivision map to, at the same time, also file with the Assessor a digital copy of
the map as it was recorded.
CONTINUE TO SPONSOR legislation to return of a portion of ERAF, the growth or the base,
to provide funding support for the County library system. (SB 94 - Torlakson)
CONTINUE TO SPONSOR legislation to amend CEQA guidelines to allow categorical
exemptions for in-fill development in the unincorporated urban areas, as currently permitted in
cities (AB 271 - Canciamilla).
Much appreciation is due to departmental staff who took time to identify areas of legislative remedy
that will increase the County's ability to provide cost effective, efficient services and programs to the
citizens of Contra Costa County.

Dear Senator Torlakson:
The CSAC State Budget Task Force has identified recommendations on reducing the state
budgetary shortfall without adversely affecting county revenues for programs. These
recommendations have been discussed with the Department of Finance. The Contra Costa
County Board of Supervisors strongly supports these recommendations and urges your favorable
consideration.
Counties provide vital services to the citizens and businesses of California:
➢ frontline public safety services, which are especially critical now;
➢ safety net services for children and families in poverty;
➢ infrastructure support services, such as affordable housing policies, property records, vital
statistics, roads, flood control, libraries.
The future of California depends upon our ability to assure a high quality of life for our citizens as
well as to attract and retain the businesses that fuel our economy. Slashing county revenues or
programs will not serve these purposes.
Thank you for your consideration of CSAC's recommendations. We look forward to adoption of
many of them as the process moves forward to ensure a balanced state budget for this fiscal
year and next.

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
November 14, 2001
To: Agency Secretaries
Department Directors
Constitutional Officers
As you know, California is facing the steepest decline.in state income in more than
half a century. California's economy, which was beginning to slow before the September 11th
tragedy, has been dramatically affected by the results of the terrorist attacks. Even though
California continues to outperform the rest of the nation in virtually all economic indicators,
the effects of the attacks have severely undermined consumer confidence, tourism, and
other businesses.
Prior to September 11 t', the Legislature and my Administration took steps to address
an anticipated shortfall, including setting aside the largest reserve fund in two decades. In
the aftermath of September 11 , I also directed each department and agency to freeze new
hiring, cut operating expenses by $150 million, and prepare 15 percent budget reductions for
the 2002-03 fiscal year.
However, the extraordinarily rapid decline in State revenues requires additional
reductions in current year spending. I have discussed options for achieving current year
savings with the legislative leadership and will submit to the Legislature a revision of the
2001-02 State Budget for consideration during an Extraordinary Session commencing in
January.
Until the Legislature is convened in Extraordinary Session, I am directing each
agency and department to take all actions permitted under law to suspend allocation of those
current year expenditures listed in the attached document. Administratively"freezing"these
expenditures will capture the proposed savings now and preserve the Legislature's ability to
consider and act on these revisions along with other budget year reductions when it
convenes in January.
In preparing this proposed budget revision, the Administration has taken care to avoid
suspending any expenditure that may provide economic stimulus in the near term. If any
agency secretary or department director determines that it is not legally permissible to
suspend allocation of funds for a particular program, or that the suspension would cause
further economic harm, I direct him or her to contact the Department of Finance to review the
matter.
Sincerely,
im Im = i

OVERVIEW
The U.S. and California economies are experiencing a significant slowdown. As a result, the State
General Fund is experiencing a dramatic decline in revenue that necessitates prompt action to curb
current-year General Fund spending beyond the hiring freeze and operating expense and equipment
expenditure reductions already ordered pursuant to Governor's Executive Orders D-48-01 and
D-49-01.
This document proposes a number of current-year General Fund spending reductions totaling
$2.248 billion, which also represent$758 million in additional potential budget-year savings. In
addition to the $13 million attributable to the hiring freeze and the $150 million attributable to the state
operations reductions, the specified reductions are comprised of proposals to suspend program
expansions, delay new program implementation, capture savings from contracts and grants yet to be
bid or awarded, defer purchases, and revert unspent funds. No reductions have been proposed for
programs that provide immediate-term stimulus to the State's economy.
ECONOMIC UPDATE
California's economy, already slowing prior to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, shows further
signs of weakening, with prospects for a prompt recovery dimmed as a result of the attacks.
However,California continues to outperform the rest of the nation in virtually all economic indicators.
Although the state's 4,300 drop in nonfarm jobs amounted to only 1 percent of the nationwide loss of
415,000 jobs last month, the slowing of job growth in California over the last several months has been
dramatic. California's unemployment rate rose 0.3 percent to 5.7 percent in October, with the
unemployment rolls growing by 47,400. Nationally, the jobless rate jumped 0.5 percent to
5.4 percent. California's air transportation and lodging industries appear to have suffered more than
other sectors since the September 11th attacks, losing 4,300 jobs, or 10 percent of the national losses,
and 3,500 jobs, or 8 percent of the national losses, respectively. Prior to September 11th, the Silicon
Valley and San Francisco Bay Area were already slowing markedly as a result of the decline in
activity in the high-tech sector. Additionally, September construction data indicate building activity
slowed dramatically, with both residential and nonresidential construction experiencing the weakest
month of the year.
The Department of Finance's 2001-02 May Revision economic forecast, on which the current-year
budget is based,was more conservative than the consensus at the time, projecting very slow growth
throughout 2001, with stronger growth beginning early next year. However, the terrorist attacks of
September 11th will result in continued economic weakness through at least the first half of 2002.
Moreover, weaker stock market performance in the second half of 2001 will contribute to a significant
decline in current-year revenues.
REVENUE UPDATE
October General Fund revenue receipts were $220 million below the 2001 Budget Act forecast. To
date, fiscal year 2001-02 General Fund revenues are $827 million below expectations. Combined
with our preliminary estimate of$614 million in lower-than-projected accrued revenues for the prior
fiscal year, the total fiscal year-to-date and prior-year shortfall is over$1.4 billion.
October personal income tax receipts were $209 million below projection. Withholding was
$60 million below the forecast, and refunds were$128 million higher than anticipated. Sales and use
tax receipts were $7 million below the month's forecast, and bank and corporation tax receipts were
$10 million below the forecast.

EXPENDITURE REDUCTIONS
BUSINESS, TRANSPORTATION AND HOUSING AGENCY
Department of Housing and Community Development
-$108.9 million
Eliminate Jobw/Housing Balance Program: This new program would provide incentive
payments to cities and counties that increase the number of housing permits they issue in
calendar year 2001. The program would not begin awarding its first grants until February 2002
from funds provided in the 2000 Budget Act. It is proposed that the program's entire balance of
$59.7 million for incentive grants be returned to the General Fund.
Eliminate Downtown Rebound Program: This program has $1 million available to local
entities for planning studies to find infill sites in urban areas, and $3.1 million for loans to local
entities for projects that convert industrial and commercial buildings to residential use. It is
proposed that these funds be returned to the General Fund.
Reduce Multifamily Housing Loans: This is a general-purpose loan program for construction
and rehabilitation of affordable multifamily housing. It is proposed that the $89 million available
for this program in 2001-02 be reduced by $45.1 million, which is the amount projected to be
loaned to projects that would not begin construction until 2003. This preserves $43.8 million for
projects that can stimulate California's economy in fiscal year 2002-03.
Department of Transportation
-$20.0 million
Shift Fund Source for Intercity Rail Projects from the General Fund to the State Highway'
Account: It is proposed that the remaining balance of a 2000-01 appropriation of$20 million
from the General Fund for a double-tracking project on the San Joaquin Corridor be replaced
with an appropriation from the State Highway Account. Expenditures for this long-lead project
are not likely to be significant until fiscal year 2002-03.
Department of Motor Vehicles
-$117.7 million
Revert Unneeded Funds Set Aside for Smog Impact Fee Refunds: This program refunds
the$300 fee that was charged to bring an out-of-state car into California from 1990 to 1999.
This fee found to be illegal by the courts, and an appropriation of$665 million from the General
Fund was made in 2000-01 to create a special fund for refunds. That amount was based on an
estimate of the total number of persons who may have paid this fee. However, the
Department's latest estimate of the amount of refunds likely to be paid shows that$117.7 million
in expected savings can be returned to the General Fund. This reduction will not affect any right
to a refund if one was claimed.

TECHNOLOGY, TRADE AND COMMERCE AGENCY
-$35.9 million
Reduce Biomass Grants Program: This three-year program provides grants to operators of
plants that convert biomass fuels to energy, helping those plants to compensate for lower
electricity sales prices that applied to them when they were built. In 2000-01, grants were
awarded to 12 plants totaling over$8.9 million. Applications for these funds for 2001-02 are not
due until November 28. It is proposed that the $5.5 million of the$11.5 million available in
2001-02, be reverted to the General Fund, retaining sufficient funding to keep previous-year
grantees operating.
Eliminate Funds for Two Unopened Foreign Trade Offices: The 2001 Budget Act contains
funding of$297,000 for a contract for representation in India and $160,000 for a contract for an
office in the Philippines. The TTCA has not yet opened new trade offices in India and the
Philippines. Therefore, it is proposed that these funds be reverted.
Revert Balance of Renewable Energy Loan Guarantee Fund. Chapter 8, Statutes of 2001,
First Extraordinary Session (AB 29X), created a new Renewable Energy Loan Guarantee
program. Because of a technical drafting error in the way funds were appropriated to pay banks
in the event of defaults on guarantees in the authorizing legislation, funds cannot be committed
for the life of the loans, and the program cannot be implemented. It is proposed to revert the
$29.9 million that remains available for this program.
RESOURCES AGENCY
Secretary for Resources
-$19.0 million
River Parkway Program: The Administration proposes to eliminate funding for the following
River Parkway projects:
Los Angeles River—South: $5 million
Tuolumne River Parkway: $5 million
Otay River Parkway: $1 million
Tahoe Conservancy
-$4.8 million
Land Acquisitions: Of the $8.2 million in the 2001 Budget Act for acquisitions to prevent
degradation of water quality that would occur if the lands were developed, or to restore lands at
already degraded sites, agreement has been reached to acquire a piece of property for
$3.4 million. The balance of$4.8 million has not been encumbered and is proposed for
reversion to the General Fund. These land acquisitions may be eligible for funding from future
bond proceeds.
3
California Conservation Corps
-$3.2 million
AB 29X, Powerwalk Program: Chapter 8, Statutes of 2001, First Extraordinary Session
(AB 29X) appropriated $20 million to the Corps to disseminate energy conservation information
and low energy light bulbs to California residents. To date, $16.1 million has been expended.
The balance of$3.2 million is proposed for reversion.
Energy Commission
-$34.6 million
Agricultural Peak Load Demand: Chapter 7, Statutes of 2001, First Extraordinary Session
(SB 5X) appropriated $86.3 million to provide grants to the agriculture industry to install energy
efficient hardware and other conservation mechanism to reduce peak electricity load demands.
Of this amount, $29.4 million has not been encumbered and is available for reversion to the
General Fund.
Expedited Power Plant Siting Applications: Chapter 12, Statutes of 2001, First Extraordinary
Session (SB 28X), appropriated $3 million to help cities and counties expedite reviews of
electrical power plant siting applications by hiring consultants and training local employees who
would specialize in power plant siting issues. The program, however, has been slow to develop,
and none of the funding has been encumbered.
Data Collection and Fuel Cell Planning: The 2001 Budget Act includes $0.3 million for
preliminary drawings for hydrogen fueling stations and $1.9 million for electricity consumption
data collection, none of which has been encumbered. Therefore, these funds are proposed for
reversion.
Department of Conservation
-$4.5 million (includes $3.0 million from prior years.)
Farmland Conservancy Program: This program provides grants to purchase easements on
agricultural lands to reduce development pressures. The 2001 Budget Act includes $1.5 million
General Fund and $5 million Parks Bond. None of the $1.5 million has been encumbered, nor
has the$1.5 million General Fund appropriation from each of the past two years been spent.
Any potential near-term agreements can be funded from the bond funds already appropriated.
Department of Parks and Recreation
-$44.2 million (includes $42,2 million from prior years.)
Cesar Chavez Foundation: The 2001 Budget Act includes $2 million to construct a park and
visitor center in Delano. To date, no application requesting this funding has been received. The
Administration proposes to fund this project from future bond proceeds.
Prior Year Local Parks Projects: Funding for local parks projects was provided in the 1999
and 2000 Budget Acts for which no requests have been received. The Administration proposes
to revert$42.2 million appropriated for these projects. Details for specific projects for which
funding is proposed for reversion will follow.
4
Department of Water Resources
414.0 million
Power Plant Construction Bonuses: Under the Administration's Energy Initiative, $20 million
was made available to provide construction bonuses for power plants that came on line by
summer 2001. Bonuses were limited to $1 million per project. Bonuses have been paid for
three plant projects, and three more projects are pending. Since no other projects are now
eligible for this funding, $14 million can be reverted to the General Fund.
CALFED
420.0 million
CALFED Grants: The 2001 Budget Act includes $81 million, less $3.5 million for Section 3.9
reductions, for CalFed projects. The remaining $77.5 million is for State staff($50.8 million) and
local water projects ($26.7 million). Of the $26.7 million available for local water projects,
$4 million has been committed. Therefore, savings of$20 million could be readily achieved in
2001-02.
California Alternative Energy and Advanced Transportation Financing Authority
-$24.9 million
Renewable Energy Program AB 29X.• Chapter 8, Statutes of 2001, First Extraordinary
Session (AB 29X), appropriated $25 million to the California Alternative Energy and Advanced
Transportation Financing Authority for purposes of establishing the Renewable Energy
Program. To date, none of the funds have been allocated, and only a minimal amount has been
expended towards administrative activities. Suspending the allocation will save the General
Fund 24.9 million.
Public Utilities Commission
-$93.4 million
Oil and Natural Gas Pumping. Chapter 7, Statutes of 2001, First Extraordinary Session
(SB 5X) appropriated $9.6 million to conduct energy efficiency audits of various oil and natural
gas facilities. To date, none of these funds have been encumbered and are available for
reversion to the General Fund.
CARE Discount. This program has been funded for several years from public goods charge
moneys to subsidize 15 percent of low-income consumers' utility bills. As part of the Energy
Initiative, the program was essentially doubled with a $100 million General Fund appropriation
from Chapter 7, Statutes of 2001, First Extraordinary Session (SB 5X)to cover rapidly
increasing energy bills and expand the program to a greater segment of the population. To
date, $14 million has been encumbered for outreach efforts. Due to the significant drop in
energy costs related in part to lower natural gas prices, $83.8 million could be reverted.
5
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
Air Resources Board
-$14.4 million
Diesel Emissions Reductions/Environmental Justice Initiative: Of$48 million appropriated
for diesel emission reduction programs, $16 million was appropriated for mitigation of emissions
from diesel-fueled electrical backup generators. To date, $14.4 million has not been
encumbered because backup generators were not used to the extent originally expected.
Department of Toxic Substances Control
444.0 million
Brownfields Initiative: For 2001-02, $52 million was available for this program which provides
low-interest loans to help pay for environmental investigations and clean up hazardous
materials to stimulate redevelopment of brownfield properties. To date, however, only$8 million
has been expended, leaving $44 million unencumbered.
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY
Emergency Medical Services Authority
430 million General Fund
Local Assistance for Trauma Care: The 2001 Budget Act included a one-time augmentation
of$25 million General Fund for local trauma center support, and $5 million General Fund for
trauma system planning activities. These funds have not been expended to date, and the
Administration is proposing to revert these funds back to the General Fund.
Department of Aging
-$0.1 million General Fund
Chapter 682, Statutes of 2001 (AB 830): Chapter 682 requires the California Department of
Aging (CDA)to establish a task force, conduct a study, and make recommendations to the
Legislature on or before September 1, 2002, on issues relating to legal services to seniors in
California. This measure appropriates $100,000 General Fund. However, the Governor's
signing message directs the CDA"to establish the task force within existing resources."
Therefore, the$100,000 appropriation will not be expended.
Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs
-$10.5 million General Fund
Drug Medi-Cal Savings: The 2001 Budget Act included a reappropriation of$23.7 million
General Fund carried forward from 2000-01. Of this amount, only$13.2 million is needed to pay
past-year claims received in 2001-02. Therefore, the Administration proposes that$10.5 million
6
be reverted, resulting in General Fund savings based on an updated estimate of funds needed
to meet past-year obligations. This proposal maintains$13.2 million to pay past-year claims.
Department of Health Services
417,6 million General Fund
Cancer Research: The 2001 Budget Act provided a $25 million General Fund transfer for the
Cancer Research program. It is now proposed that expenditures be reduced to $17.9 million,
resulting in a General Fund savings of$7.1 million. This reduction represents a very small
proportion of the estimated $3.1 billion available nationally for these activities from private
institutions, the federal government, and foreign governments.
Expanded Access to Primary Care(EAPC)Augmentation: The 2001 Budget Act provided
$31.2 million ($23.5 million General Fund), including a $10 million augmentation, to reimburse
public clinics for their cost of providing uncompensated health care. This augmentation remains
unexpended and is proposed to be reverted. This proposal would maintain the $21.2 million
base funding for the EAPC program.
Bi-National Health Initiative: The 2001 Budget Act provided $1 million for a Bi-National Health
Initiative to be used by the California Office of Bi-National Border Health in its mission to
facilitate cooperation between health professionals in California and Mexico. Of that amount,
$470,000 has been allocated in 2001-02. Therefore, the Administration proposes to revert
$530,000 in unexpended funds for this Initiative.
Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board
-$54.3 million Tobacco Settlement Fund
Healthy Families Program Parent Expansion: The 2001 Budget Act provided $150.2 million
($61.8 million Tobacco Settlement Fund) to expand the Healthy Families Program (HFP)to
include the uninsured parents of Medi-Cal and HFP children with family incomes up to
250 percent of the federal poverty level. It is now proposed that this program be delayed until
July 2003, resulting in savings of$54.3 million Tobacco Settlement Fund in 2001-02 and
$160.5 million Tobacco Settlement Fund in 2002-03. Federal approval of the HFP parent
expansion is still pending. Therefore, it is unlikely State implementation of the parent expansion
would occur in 2001-02.
Department of Mental Health
-$0.4 million General Fund
Revert a Portion of Funding for Dual Diagnosis: The 2001 Budget Act provided$1.9 million
General Fund for three dual diagnosis pilot projects. Only $1.5 million has been allocated for
two pilot projects, and $400,000 remains unallocated and available for reversion, without
affecting current service levels.
7
Department of Community Services and Development
-$58.2 million General Fund
California Low-income Home Energy Assistance Program(LIHEAP): Chapter 7, Statutes
of 2001 (SB 5X) appropriated $120 million General Fund to provide energy bill assistance and
weatherization services to certain needy households and small foster care group homes. This
funding is available for expenditure through January 2005. The Department of Community
Services and Development expended $21.9 million in 2000-01, and is scheduled to spend
$75.7 million in 2001-02. Of this amount, approximately $31.3 million will not be encumbered by
January 1, 2002. The balance, $22.4 million, is planned for expenditure in subsequent years.
Given the current decline in revenues, and the General Fund shortfall, this $53.7 million is
proposed for reversion in 2001-02.
Revert Naturalization Services Program Funding: The 2001 Budget Act provided
$6.5 million General Fund ($0.3 million state operations and $6.2 million local assistance) for
this program. Contracts have not been executed with community-based organizations to
perform services under this program in 2001-02. Funding for this program has increased by
225 percent since 1998-99. Therefore, the Administration proposes that funding for this
program be returned to the 1998 level of$2 million, resulting in General Fund savings of
$4.5 million in 2001-02.
Department of Child Support Services
-$40.5 million General Fund
Local Child Support Administration Incentives: Counties did not expend $30.5 million
General Fund of the State child support incentive funding appropriated for local administration in
the 2000 Budget Act. Additionally, $10 million General Fund appropriated for this purpose in the
2001 Budget Act also remains unallocated. Therefore, it is proposed that these funds be
reverted to the General Fund in 2001-02, for a total General Fund savings of$40.5 million.
Department of Social Services
-$30.1 million General Fund
Foster Care Supportive Transitional Emancipation Program: The 2001 Budget Act included
$6.5 million General Fund to provide ongoing financial assistance to youth emancipating from
foster care. Based on current caseload projections for the program, current year expenditures
will be only$1.5 million, and the remaining $5 million may be reverted with no program impact.
Therefore, it is proposed that$5 million be reverted to the General Fund.
Foster Care Transitional Housing Placement Program: The 2001 Budget Act provided
$10 million General Fund for this three-year program which provides supervised independent
living arrangements that prepare youth in foster care to live on their own. Based on current
caseload projections, the combined cost for 2001-02 and 2002-03 will be $5.2 million, leaving a
balance of$4.8 million available for reversion. Therefore, the Administration proposes that the
$4.8 million be reverted to achieve General Fund savings in 2001-02.
Child Welfare Services: Actual county expenditures for Child Welfare Services in 2000-01
were $19 million General Fund less than the amount appropriated. Therefore, this amount can
be reverted with no program impact.
8
Child Welfare Services Training: This training program was established by Chapter 1310,
Statutes of 1987(SB 834), to provide a statewide coordinated program designed to address the
specific needs of county child welfare services social workers. The 2001 Budget Act provided
$3.3 million General Fund for this purpose. The Administration proposes that the
unencumbered balance of$1.3 million be reverted in 2001-02.
Various Departments
-$19.1 million General Fund
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act(H/PAA): The 2001 Budget Act and
Chapter 635, Statutes of 2001 (SB 456), provided a total of$92.3 million ($24.3 million General
Fund) for various departments to fund HIPAA compliance activities. Expenditures through
December 31, 2001, are anticipated to be significantly less than the amount appropriated.
Therefore, the Administration proposes that$74.2 million ($19.1 million General Fund) be
reverted. California, along with the National Governors'Association, is currently seeking a
federal extension of HIPAA compliance deadlines.
YOUTH AND ADULT CORRECTIONS
Office of the Inspector General
-$.1 million
Augmentation to Establish Administrative Support Unit. The 2001 Budget Act included
$520,000 to establish an Administrative Support Unit and contract for information systems
support. To date, four of the five positions in the Administrative Support Unit have been filled.
The Administration proposes to revert$55,000 from the funds appropriated to support the
operations of the Unit.
Department of Corrections
-$1.6 million
Partial Delay of Implementation of the 500-Bed Substance Abuse Program Expansion:
The 2001 Budget Act provided $3.9 million for an additional 500 in-prison substance abuse
treatment beds and associated aftercare funding for post-release treatment. The Department
indicates that only 300 of the beds will be brought online in the current year, which results in
$1.6 million savings from the remaining 200 beds that will not be activated until fiscal year
2002-03.
Department of Youth Authority
-$4.5 million
Implementation of the Substance Abuse Program Expansion: The 2001 Budget Act
included$720,000 to fund treatment slots for institutional substance abuse treatment for wards
and residential aftercare treatment for parolees. The contracts associated with these services
have not been signed to date, and it is now proposed that the program be modified to provide
only residential aftercare treatment for parolees. Therefore, only $200,000 is needed, and
$520,000 is proposed to be reverted.
9
Implementation of the Sex Offender Specialized Counseling Program Expansion: The
2001 Budget Act included $2.8 million to establish a 50-bed formal sex offender treatment
program at the N. A. Chaderjian Youth Correctional Facility and provide 35 residential aftercare
services placement beds. To date, the Department has expended a minimal level of resources
for this program which will be modified to provide funding only for the 35 residential aftercare
placement beds. Therefore, $1,960,000 is proposed to be reverted.
Implementation of the Mental Health Resources Program Expansion: The 2001 Budget Act
included $4,306,000 to expand the existing level of mental health services provided to wards
and parolees. To date, the Department has expended a minimal level of resources for this
program which will be adjusted to provide a 35-bed mental health unit and related parolee
services. Therefore, $2,067,000 is proposed to be reverted.
EDUCATION
Department of Education
-$843.5 million
The Administration proposes the following reductions in the Department of Education's
budget:
Healthy Start Grants: $38 million of the $39 million Proposition 98 General Fund appropriation
for a new cohort of Healthy Start sites that will not affect existing programs.
Charter School Facilities Grants: $5 million of the $10 million in Proposition 98 General Fund
appropriated for facility grants to charter schools in low-income attendance areas pursuant to
Chapter 892, Statutes of 2001 (SB 740). Funding for this purpose has not been allocated, and
savings from non-classroom instruction charters will be reduced to no more than 5 percent
pursuant to the Governor's intent.
PERS Offset for K-12 Revenue Limits: $35 million in Proposition 98 Reversion Account
appropriated for reduction of the PERS offset to revenue limits pursuant to Chapter 794, .
Statutes of 2001(SB 6) in order to suspend implementation until funding for this purpose is
appropriated in a subsequent Budget Act. Funding has not yet been allocated.
K-12 Revenue Limit Equalization Adjustment: $40 million in Proposition 98 Reversion
Account appropriated in Chapter 891, Statutes of 2001 (SB 735) for purposes of equalization of
district revenue limits pursuant to Chapter 794, Statutes of 2001 (AB 441) in order to suspend
implementation until funding is appropriated in a subsequent Budget Act. Funding has not yet
been allocated.
Before/After School Expansion: $29.7 million from the Proposition 98 General Fund
appropriated for expansion of the Before and After School Learning and Safe Neighborhoods
Partnership Program, including $14.85 million for a new Before School component authorized
by Chapter 545, Statutes of 2001 (AB 6) in order to delay implementation. Funding has not yet
been allocated for the new component, and costs have not been incurred by districts for the
After School expansion.
10
High Priority Schools Grant Program: $197 million local assistance appropriation to reflect a
July 1, 2002, implementation date for the High Priority Schools Grant Program Chapter 749,
Statutes of 2001 (AB 961). This program was designed to improve the academic performance
of pupils in schools in the bottom five deciles, with priority being provided to the lowest
performing schools. Funding for this program has not been allocated. Eligible schools would
receive grants beginning in 2002-03.
Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment Program: $20 million for the Beginning
Teacher Support and Assessment Program, which provides teachers with two years of
mentoring and support after they earn a preliminary teaching credential. This program is
currently funded at$104.6 million. It is anticipated there will be $20.0 million in savings in this
program.
Peer Assistance and Review Program: $50 million for the Peer Assistance and Review
Program (PAR),which provides mentoring services to veteran teachers who encounter
professional difficulties. This program is currently funded at$134.2 million, school districts also
may use PAR funds to supplement the Beginning Teacher Support and Assessment Program,
the California Pre-Iriternship Teaching Program, or any other program that provides training and
support to new teachers. The funding reduction reflects a decrease in the number of PAR
participants.
National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Certification Incentives: $5 million
for the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) Certification Incentives
Program, which provides teachers who earn certification by this organization with $10,000
bonuses. NBPTS-certified teachers who agree to teach in low-performing schools are provided
an additional $20,000 bonus, which is payable over a four-year period. Based on expenditures
in the past, it is anticipated that there will be unutilized funds in 2001-02.
Teaching As A Priority Block Grant: $20 million for the Teaching As A Priority block grant,
which provides schools ranked in the bottom five deciles of the Academic Performance Index
(API) with grants to provide recruitment and retention bonuses to fully credentialed teachers.
Participating schools that are ranked in the bottom three deciles of the API currently receive
$44.00 per student, while schools ranked in the fourth and fifth deciles.receive $29.00 per
student. It is anticipated this program will have savings in 2001-02.
High School Coach Training: $1 million for the High School Coach Training Program,which
is intended to provide high school coaches with training in safety-related topics such as CPR.
Expenditure records indicate that this program has not been utilized.
Certificated Staff Performance Awards: $50 million for the Certificated Staff Performance
Awards Program, which provides bonuses ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 to certificated staff in
schools that achieve significant, sustained growth in their API scores over a two-year period.
The number of rewards will be reduced to the following levels.
500 certificated staff receive bonuses of$25,000 each
1,875 certificated staff receive bonuses of$10,000 each
3,750 certificated staff receive bonuses of$5,000 each
Professional Development Institute Stipends: $6 million of the General Fund appropriation
for stipends. The 2001-02 Budget, which contains $54.0 million to provide $1,000 stipends to
teachers who attend the University of California-administered Professional Development
Institutes(PDI). These savings in stipend payments conform to anticipated demand for the PDI
by school districts.
11
K-12 Per Pupil Block Grant: $67.8 million appropriation in Proposition 98 Reversion Account
for the K-12 Per Pupil Block Grant program,which provides grants of$12 per pupil to all school
districts and county offices of education to be spent on a variety of categorical programs.
High Tech High: Delete $4 million of the $10 million from the Proposition 98 Reversion
Account for the High Tech High grants to reflect a reduced level of funding for High Tech High
Schools anticipated to open in Fall 2002. To date, none of the funds have been allocated.
Digital High School: $15 million Proposition 98 for the Digital High School program. This
program provides approximately$45 per pupil for technical support and professional
development in participating schools. The program has not spent its entire$76 million budget
allocation in the past, and this proposal reflects program savings resulting from less than
anticipated participation.
One-Time Energy Relief Funding: $250 million Proposition 98 General Fund for energy relief
for K-12 schools. These funds were provided on a one-time basis to address higher than
anticipated energy costs. This funding has not yet been allocated to schools. Given that energy
costs have not increased as much as expected due, in part, to lower natural gas prices, this
funding can be eliminated in 2001-02.
9th Grade Class Size Reduction Program Savings: $10 million Proposition 98 General Fund
for the 91"Grade Class Size Reduction Program. The 2001 Budget Act appropriated
$145.2 million to allow schools to reduce 9 Grade English and one other core class to a
20:1 ratio. Program participation has been less than anticipated this year, resulting in at least
$10 million in program savings.
California State Library
-$7.9 million
Public Library Foundation: The Public Library Foundation Program provides grants to local
libraries, based on population and the amount of funding provided through the budget The
2001 Budget Act contains $52.9 million for this program. Local libraries use the funds for
acquiring library materials, staff, operating expenses and equipment. To date, none of the funds
have been allocated. The Administration proposes to revert$7.9 million (approximately
15 percent) of the General Fund appropriations.
HIGHER EDUCATION
California Community Colleges
-$5,0 million
Teacher and Reading Development Partnerships: The Administration proposes to reduce
$5 million of the $10 million Proposition 98 Reversion Account appropriation for Teacher and
Reading Development Partnerships. This program, which encourages undergraduate college
students to seek teaching careers while advancing K-12 reading improvements, has not been
fully subscribed. Remaining funds would support grants at many colleges.
12
University of California
486.0 million
Shift Fund Source for Science institutes to Bonds: The 2001 Budget Act appropriates
$95 million from the General Fund for the University of California Institutes for Science
Innovation. At least$50 million can be shifted to Lease Revenue Bonds.
Teaching Hospitals: The Administration proposes to revert$5 million for clinical teaching
support at the University's medical centers, neuropsychiatric institutes, and dental clinics.
These funds were provided in the 2001 Budget Act and have not yet been fully expended.
Natural Gas Funds: The Administration proposes to revert$25 million of the $75.6 million
appropriated for unanticipated increases in natural gas costs in 2000-01 and 2001-02. Energy
costs have not increased as anticipated due, in part, to lower natural gas prices. The University
may reduce non-impacted campus allocations as necessary to achieve an equitable reduction
with regard to energy cost pressures.
Professional Development Institutes: The Administration proposes to revert$6 million of the
$56.9 million appropriated for teacher training to conform to anticipated demand from K-12
districts. A similar reduction for related stipends is being proposed in the Department of
Education's budget.
California State University(CSU)
-$20 million
Natural Gas Funds: The Administration proposes to revert$20 million of the $34.1 million
appropriated for unanticipated increases in natural gas costs in 2000-01 and 2001-02. Energy
costs have not increased as anticipated due, in part, to lower natural gas prices. The CSU may
reduce non-impacted campus allocations as necessary to achieve an equitable reduction with
regard to energy cost pressures.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT
Department of Information Technology
-$0.7 million
Delay Office Move: This reduction reflects 2001-02 savings from delaying the Department of
Information Technology's relocation. Since the department has not committed these funds, the
total is available for reversion.
Office of Emergency Services
41.0 million
The Administration proposes the following reversion:
Tri-Net Expansion Statewide: $1.0 million which was to support the expansion of the
earthquake monitoring system currently in operation in Southern California to Northern
13
California. These funds are available for reversion since no expenditures have been made at
this time.
Department of Consumer Affairs
-$44.0 million
Consumer Assistance Program: The Administration proposes to transfer$44 million from the
High Polluter Repair or Removal Account to the General Fund. These funds reflect the
remaining monies, plus interest, collected from the Smog Impact Fee.
Office of Criminal Justice Planning
-$82.0 million
Los Angeles Crime Laboratory. This reduction reflects the estimated cost of construction for
the Los Angeles regional crime laboratory authorized by the 2000 Budget Act. The construction
phase of the laboratory project is not expected to commence until 2003-04. Funding for
construction costs will be shifted to state-financed lease revenue bonds, and ultimate ownership
of the facility will be transferred to the City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles County at the end of
the financing term.
California Arts Council (CAC)
45.1 million
CAC Grant Funds: The Administration proposes to revert$5.1 million from the California Arts
Council for local grants to assist art programs, artists, and local arts councils. This remains to
be allocated to local agencies and is, therefore, available for reversion.
Department of Industrial Relations
-$1.0 million
Eliminate Worker Safety Training Grant Program: This reduction reflects savings resulting
from the elimination of the Worker Safety Training Grant Program, which was established in the
2001 Budget Act to award grants to organizations that provide training for workers in high
hazard industries. Funding for this program has not yet been allocated. Therefore, the monies
can be reverted.
Military Department
-$2.1 million
Turning Point Academy: This reduction reflects the savings associated with decreased
Academy expenditures resulting from a lower projected cadet population.
14
STATEWIDE
Statewide Janitorial/Contract Services
-$2.0 million
Reduce Unallocated Janitorial/Contract Services Balance: This reduction reflects a portion
of the unallocated balance from a statewide budget item that provided for the allocation of up to
$3.0 million to fund the increased cost of personal services contracts as a result of providing
employee benefits to various categories of contract personnel. Since these monies have not yet
been allocated, they are available for reversion.
Statewide Utilities Costs
-$64.2 million
Eliminate Utilities Costs Funding: This reduction reflects the savings associated with the
elimination of a statewide budget item that provided for the allocation of up to$64.2 million to
departments experiencing increases in utilities costs. This item is being eliminated to due to
decreases in the cost of gas and electricity from levels projected during the 2001-02 budget
development process.
Postage Rate Increase
-$3.0 million
Requests for the 2000-01 and 2001-02 fiscal year augmentations from the statewide postage
rate increase item are lower than initial budget estimates, resulting in a statewide savings over
two years of$3.0 million.
Hiring Freeze
-$13.2 million
The Governor issued Executive Order D-48-01 to implement a hiring freeze for State agencies
and departments. Since the hiring freeze prohibits the use of new hires to fill State positions,
excluding specified positions related to public health, safety, or security, and other positions
producing State revenues, the hiring freeze is estimated to result in General Fund savings of up
to $13.2 million for the remainder of 2001-02.
Reduction in Operating Expenses and Equipment
-$150.0 million
The Governor's Executive Order D-49-01 directs departments to initiate various cost reduction
measures to effect a minimum $150.0 million statewide reduction in current year operating
expenses and equipment costs. These cost reduction measures include canceling or
postponing any non-essential trips; reducing, canceling, or postponing any new contract or
agreement for goods and services; and when possible, canceling and disencumbering the
balance of any existing contract or purchase agreements. The objective of this cost reduction
measure is to achieve a statewide savings of at least$150.0 million.
15
Past Years Disencumbrances
-$25.0 million (for 2001-01 and 1999-00)
In accordance with the Governor's Executive Order D49-01, departments were directed to
cancel certain prior-years contracts and purchase orders for which goods and services had not
been received and disencumber the balance. Savings are estimated at$25.0 million on a
statewide basis.
Local District Projects
-$30.0 million
The 2001 Budget Act included a total of$65.5 million General Fund for local district projects. It
is possible that up to 50 percent of the funding has not been allocated. Reverting the
unallocated funding will save the General Fund approximately$30 million. Details relating to
specific projects for which funding is proposed to be eliminated will follow. It is the intent of the
Administration to establish an exemption mechanism to ensure that projects for which resources
have been committed are not jeopardized where a reduction in funds would result in a loss of
jobs.

SD3: Sara Hoffman:
Today I would like to review with you the 2001 **** and our
efforts and promote **** interest the process for 2002 including
CSAC budget and the recommendations and review
I would like to make a correction:
On the tracking summary the spreadsheet AB81 was mistyped as
internet sales, its actually comp tax issue. AB81, 3rd page of your
spreadsheet.
Supervisor Uilkema: There was also an issue on the codwig bill, I
believe the this board supported the cogdill bill. Its still not dead,
its going until the end of January.
SH: Thank you for that correction. We will make that change.
Supervisor Uilkema: I would like to add that. This Board has
unanimously has approved that.
Supervisor Uilkema: Okay, the way I understand it if there are no
other questions. Is that we would need to approve what you have
submitted to us as modified. Meaning your also going to include
the Codgill bill, the CSAC positions and the things that you've just
read. Is there a motion?
Supervisor Gioia: I'll move the recommendation.
Supervisor Glover: Second.
Supervisor Uilkema: Under discussion, Mr. Wolfe would like to
speak.
