HONORABLE MAYOR AND
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: FOUR -TEN PLAN TRIAL PROGRAM
Gentlemen;
Pursuant to Personnel Board and Council direction, the City has implemented
the trial Four -Ten Plan for the Police Department. As you recall, the Plan
was initiated on June 25, 1972, to propose a 90 -day trial period which wilt
end on September 24, 1972e
As can be seen by the attached report from the Chief of Police, a review of
the program to date indicates a major reduction in sick leave and overtime
costs and a general positive acceptance by the personnel involved. Although
these first few months are indicating positive results, it is the recommendation
of the Chief of Police that the program be extended for an additional 90 days.
In addition, the Office met with John McConnaughy, President of the Lynwood
Peace Officers' Association, regarding extension of the Four -Ten Plan.
The Association also concurs with the extension (attached) and is in favor
of a completion date of December 31, 1972.
These items were forwarded to the Personnel Board on Thursday, September 14,
1972, and after considerable review and discussion the Board unanimously
moved to recommend this extension to the City Council, As can be seen by
the attached report, although initial response to the plan seems to be favorable
in the areas of reduction in sick leave and overtime, additional time is needed
to develop some in -depth review of workload, response rate, employee fatigue,
etc. , in order to properly evaluate the program prior to permanent imple-
mentation,
RECOMMENDATION
Council concur with the Personnel Board recommendation to extend the
Trial period for the Four -Ten Plan in the Police Department for an additional
90 -day period terminating on December 31, 1972.

Department Memo
- io: Lynwood Personnel Commission September 12, 1972
From: R. E. Darton, Chief of Police
Subject LYNWOOD POLICE DEPARTMENT 4 -10 PLAN i
i'
' j f
Gentlemen:
On 25 June 1972, the Police Department instituted the
4 -10 Plan for all uniformed personnel through the rank
of sergeant. ,
To date, the plan has been most acceptable to all personnel
involved. Upon hiring of dispatcher personnel (5) a more
accurate evaluation can be made. This, in my opinion, will
take an additional period of time.
To date, overtime during the first sixty (60) day period
has Deen reduced 58.5% and sick leave has dropped 35.80.
Our arrests took a substantial drop earlier in the year
because of personnel shortage and increased calls for
service, however, since implementation of the 4 -10 plan,
arrests have returned to the 1971 level, an increase of
about 13.2% over the first six month average for 1972.
This increase in arrest activity has been handled
expeditiously despite the additional calls for service.
It is, therefore, recommended that the 4 -10 plan be con-
tinued for an additional 90 -day period terminating on
31 December 1972.
It is felt the analysis of six months operation under the
4 -10 plan would more accurately reflect the experience
necessary for a final determination of adoption or
rejection on a permanent basis.

Dear Sirs:

Septemb'ex 13, 19 -72
The Peace officers' Association of Lynwood is formally requesting that
you grant an extension of the trial period on the 4 -10 plan until
December 31, 1972.
The members of our Association feel that the 4 -10 plan is proving to be
a benefit to the City as well as the Association. However, we feel that
the original 90 day trial period is not sufficient to properly evaluate
the program. The additional time will allow both parties to determine
whether or not the 4 -10 plan should be continued on a permanent basis.
The Association is willing to continue on the extended trial period
under the agreement that was provided for the initial trial plan.
i
The Association will request that the questionnaires that are to be filled
out by all concerned parties be sent out prior to December 5, 1972 so that
the completed evaluation will Be ready prior to the end of the trial period. 1

HONORABLE MAYOR AND
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: 7ROPOSED NOISE CONTROL ORDINANCE
Gentlemen:
At the meeting of September 12, 1972, the Planning Commission recommended
Council consideration of the attached Noise Control Ordinance, The Ordinance
was prepared by the City Attorney utilizing the League of California Cities
model ordinance which was originally developed by their Quiet City Committee.
Prior to submitting the proposed ordinance to the Planning Commission, a
survey was conducted of surrounding cities and it was found that most of the
cities responding to the survey indicated use of this same model ordinance.
It was the feeling of the Commission that the basic purpose of the proposed
Noise Control Ordinance is to protect the health and welfare of the citizens
of the community. Research has shown that unnecessary or excessive
noises are both annoying to the senses and detrimental to health, The
Commission noted that the adoption of this Ordinance will be an important
step to achieving the goal of improved environmental quality in the City of
Lynwood.
In making this recommendation the Commission has also noted that a problem
of enforcement is created by the Ordinance stipulations, To properly monitor
the noise levels outlined in the Ordinance, sophisticated sound measuring
equipment as well as trained operators would be required. Dependent upon the
type of complaint, this Ordinance would be enforced and handled by either
the Police Department or the Building Department. In order to issue citations
under the Ordinance, vertification of noise levels by the proper equipment
would be required,
Attached for Council consideration is a copy of the Ordinance as well as
the Resolution adopted by the Planning Commission recommending Council
consideration. Adoption procedure by the Council requires the introduction
of the Ordinance at this meeting and the setting of a public hearing to hear
arguments for and against final approval,
RECOMMENDATION
Council move to introduce the attached ordinance by title and set a public
hearing on this matter for October 17, 1972,

HONORABLE MAYOR AND
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN REVISION
Gentlemen;
At the meeting of September 12, 1972, the Planning Commission reviewed a
Sub - committee report on the alternatives available for revising and updating
the City's General Plan. After considerable review and discussion, it was
the feeling of the Commission that the alternatives for this General Plan
might best be considered in a joint meeting between the City Council and
the Planning Commission.
Attached for Council review is a report from Planning Commission Chairman,
George Higgins, which outlines some of the thoughts of the Commission in
their consideration of this General Plan revision.
RECOMMENDATION
Council set a date for a joint meeting between the City Council and the Planning
Commission to review alternatives for General Plan Revision.

HONORABLE MAYOR AND
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GENERAL PLAN
Gentlemen:
On August 1, 1972, a report was presented to the City Council by the
Planning Commission requesting authorization to proceed with a review
of qualified consultants to update the City's General Plan. At that
time the Council referred the General Plan initiation back to the
Planning Commission recommending further study. The Council also
asked for a report from the Commission as to the feasibility of
preparing the General Plan in -house with present staffing.
Subsequently, a report was presented to the Planning Commission at
their August 8, 1972 meeting relating the desires of the City Council.
As a result of the report, the Chairman appointed two Commissioners
and requested two Staff members to act as a Committee to make
recommendations regarding the preparation of the General Plan.
Upon receipt of the Committee recommendations, the Commission
discussed the development of the Plan and formulated the premise for
preparing a General Plan utilizing City personnel. Included in the
Commission recommendations for the preparation by City Staff would be
the addition of three new staff members. In addition to the proposed
full time planner position, a planning technician for drafting and
graphics preparation and a secretary to perform necessary office duties
would be required. These three new positions will require new salary
expenditures totaling $32,000 per year. Also, outside services
including socio- economic studies, regional economic data, regional
transportation projections and printing services will need to be
authorized and funded,
The second alternative for the Council to consider is the original request
of the Commission to retain the services of an outside consultant.
Costs for this service would vary in the range of $65,000. Among the
major advantages for the "outside" preparation of the General Plan are
the time period in which the Plan would be completed and secondly,- the
Consultant's convictions of ultimate proposals.
Regardless of which alternative is selected the full time planner is
required for data collection and general policy direction. In addition,
routine citizen inquiries and planning matters need to be performed by
the planner.
^ r te . " . •
The general conclusions of the Commission suggest the alternatives
presented in this
report are the major options to be considered by
the Commission and Council. Many factors are involved in the
General Plan
preparation and are evident to the Planning Commission
inasmuch as the
new elements to the General Plan must be adopted
in order that
environmental impact statements are required for proposed
Public Works
projects and water - sewer - drainage improvements.
Furthermore,
the adoption of the required General Plan elements are
mandatory as
a prerequisite to becoming eligible for federal funding and
grants. The
additional elements required for our General Plan include
updating land
use, circulation, public services, and new housing,
conservation,
seismic safety, public safety, scenic highways and
transportation
noise elements. The newly completed and adopted open
space element
is also required and will be made a part of the new Plan,
The Staff has researched available federal grants and found "Compre-
hensive Planning Assistance" is available for the preparation of the
General Plan. Application approval or disapproval takes approximately
two months, therefore, should the City apply now, we would be
prepared to proceed with either of the aforementioned alternatives by
January 1973.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the Recommendation of the Planning Commission to schedule a
joint Council and Commission Study Session to further discuss the
General Plan alternatives.

HONORABLE MAYOR AND
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO EEA SUB - AGREEMENT -- SECTION 5
Gentlemen:
The City of Lynwood is presently operating under two separate sections of
the Emergency Employment Act which allows for 90% Federal Funding of
personnel hired under this program. Section 5 of this Act was approved
by the City Council in November of 1971 by entering into a Sub - Agreement
with Los Angeles County.
This Sub - Agreement with the County terminates on August 26, 1972, and to
date Congress has not approved re- funding except on a month-by-month
basis. Although this re- funding is anticipated by the County, it is necessary
for the City to amend the above noted Sub - Agreement in order to receive
funding on the monthly basis pending action by Congress,
Attached for Council consideration is a proposed amendment to the Sub -
Agreement drafted by Los Angeles County which is required to be approved
by the City before September 22, 1972. An additional Sub - Agreement will
be forthcoming when Congress takes action on final funding of this program.
RECOMMENDATION
Council authorize the Mayor to sign the attached amendment to the Sub-
Agreement,

HONORABLE MAYOR AND
MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT: PROPOSED CLASSIFICATION -- CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
Gentlemen:
In 1971, the City Council directed the Office to hire an employee to staff
the reception desk in City Hall. Since that time, the City hired an Assistant
City Manager and this clerical position naturally assumed the duties of
Secretary to the Assistant City Manager performing much of the purchasing
and personnel detail work of that office.
In order to properly classify this position, the Personnel Board recently
recommended to the Council that Cooperative Personnel Services provide
an independent review of the duties of this position in order to present
an unbiased recommendation of classification and salary for Board approval.
This recommendation was approved by the City Council at the meeting of
July 18, 1972.
Since that time Cooperative Personnel Services has made a review of the
position and attached is a letter and job description submitted to the
Personnel Board. At the meeting of August 10, 1972, the Board reviewed
the proposal and unanimously recommended City Council approval of the
job specifications.
As required by City Code, upon Council approval of the specifications, an
open competitive examination will be initiated in order to create an eligibility
list for this position and make a permanent appointment.
R ECOMMENDATION
Council concur with the recommendation of the Personnel Board regarding
the creation of the classification of Staff Secretary.

you to determine general areas of responsibility assigned to this
position and to obtain.information about other clerical and sec-
retarial classes in the City. We also met with Mrs. Kerr, the
current incumbent in the position, to obtain a detailed description'
of the assigned duties and responsibilities. We then studied your
salary schedule and related class specifications.
I '
This position currently performs a wide variety of difficul and
complex clerica duties ,_sanging from spe person and
account rec ord keeping to secretarial These duties include pro-
cessing purchase requisitions; soliciting and checking bids;
chsckinq invoices and processing them for payment, checking with
vendors concerning prices and quantities; approving invoices for
payment; and other clerical duties pertaining to the.accounts
payable and purchasing functions. In addition, this position is
assigned responsibility for maintaining confidential personnel
records on all employees; scheduling exams; placing recruitment
notices; screening applications; setting up employment interviews;
and preparing eligible lists. She also operates the City's
duplicating equipment and serves as City Ball receptionist.
In addition to these clerical duties this position performs as
confidential secretary to the Assistant City Manager, screening his
phone calls, keeping his appointment calendar, typing his correspon-

administrative offices, she often performs these same secretarial
duties for the City Manager.

On the basis of the information available to us, it is our feeling
that the duties and responsibilities assigned to this position are
sufficiently different from those assigned to other positions within
the City to warrant the establishment of a separate classification.
Therefore we recommend the establishment of a new classification
entitled Staff Secretary, the concept of which would be the perfor
mance of specialized clerical duties in the areas of personnel and
accounts record keeping and to act as confidential secretary to the
Assistant City Manager. An appropriate class specification is
enclosed.
We also recommend that this class be assigned to the same salary
range as that of your current class of Clerk- Stenographer (637 -772).
Although the use of stenographic skills is not required at this time,
the complez and specialized clerical skills required of this position,
as well as the secretarial relationship to the administrative offices,
balance with the lack of a shorthand requirement to make this an
appropriate salary level for Staff Secretary.
I hope this report is of assistance to you. If you would like to
discuss it further or have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Very truly yours,
X4

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF LYNWOOD ADDING CHAPTER 22 -B TO
THE CODE OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD DECLARING
CERTAIN ACTS AND CONDITIONS TO BE A NUISANCE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD HEREBY DOES ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: Chapter 22 -B is added to the City Code of the City of Lynwood
to read as follows,
CHAPTER 22 -B
NUISANCES
Section 22 -B, 1 Findings and Determinations,
The City Council finds and determines as follows:
a, The City has a history and reputation for well -kept properties and
the property values and the general welfare of this community are founded, in
part, upon the appearance and maintenance of properties,
be There now appears a need for further emphasis on the maintenance
of a number of premises because certain conditions hereafter described, have
been found from place to place throughout the City.
co The existence of these conditions is injurious and inimical to the
public health, safety and welfare of residents of this City and contributes
substantially and increasingly to the necessity for expenditures for protection
against hazards and diminution of property values, prevention of crime and the
preservation of public health, safety and welfare and maintenance of police,
fire, and accident protection. These problems are becoming increasingly
direct and substantial in significance and effect and the uses and abuses of
property reasonably relate to the proper exercise of the police power in the
protection of health, safety and welfare of public,
d, Unless corrective measures are undertaken to alleviate these
existing conditions and particularly to avoid future problems in this regard,
the public health, safety and general welfare and specifically the property
values and social and economic standards of the community will be depreciated,
The abatement of these conditions will enhance the appearance and value of
such properties rather than be a burden on the owners and the abatement of
such conditions will also appreciate the values and appearance of neighboring
properties and benefit use and enjoyment of properties in the general area
and will improve the general welfare and image of the City.
Section 22 -B, 2 Purpose, The purpose of this Chapter is to provide
a declaration that certain acts and conditions constitute a public nuisance and
to provide penalties for maintaining public nuisances w ithin the City of Lynwood.
The provisions hereof are intended merely to supplement, and not to supercede,
other provisions of this Code relative to nuisances including, but not limited
to Chapter 22 -A,

REVENUE SHARING PROGRESS REPORT
On September 12, 1972, the Senate approved the Revenue Sharing measure
by a vote of 63 to 20. It then proceeded to a conference committee where
differing House and Senate versions have been reconciled, The Bill will
now be forwarded to the President for final approval, It is anticipated that
actual funding will be forwarded to Local governments during the month of
October.
Under the House version,, Lynwood was expected to receive approximately
$489, 000 per year and under the Senate version. approximately $266, 000
per year. Actual revenues to Lynwood under the conference committee
compromise should be available by the Council meeting on Tuesday. Retro-
activity to January 1, 1972, was also maintained in both bills,
JOINT COUNCIL - SCHOOL BOARD MEETING
The Joint Meeting between the City Council and the Lynwood School Board
was reviewed by the Board at their recent meeting and the date of September 20,
1972, was established. The meeting will convene at 7;OO1`7JI and the Council
should adjourn Tuesday's meeting to the following Wednesday in order to
meet with the School Board.
REFUSE ACCUMULATIONS -- JOSEPHINE AVENUE EAST OF WRIGHT ROAD
Staff has made contact with the Southern Pacific Transportation Company and
will be dealing with Mr. Chet Collins, Assistant Division Engineer, in order
to find a solution to this problem of dumping refuse along the railroad right-of-
way.
The Fernwood railroad right -of -way presently belongs to the Southern Pacific
Company, however, recently the State Division of Highways had been in
contact with their right -of -way acquisition section in order to purchase this
strip of Lando In view of the fact that there may be delays in the construction
of the freeway, staff will continue to pursue this matter with both agencies
until the right -of -way can be cleaned and kept in an acceptable manner.
LONG BEACH BOULEVARD PROGRESS RE
The Staff has recently received the appraisal report for the Long Beach
Boulevard property acquisition, and has asked Mr. Robert Benson, a
Real Property Agent, from the County of Los Angeles to initiate contacts
with the affected owners in order to conclude negotiations for the property,
As these property negotiations are completed, and a price settlement
is made, the Council will receive a Staff

report and recommendation for approval. It is anticipated that upon
aquisition, the first phase of this project will be the demolition of these
structures early in 1973.
ENGINEERING PERSONNEL IN CITY ENGINEER'S OFFICE
The deadline for applications for the Civil Engineering Assistant and
Associate positions is scheduled for September 22, 1972, Applications
will be screened and oral boards will be held during the flatter part of
September or early October. Present schedule calls for these personnel
to begin work in mid - October so that Engineering plans can be developed
for the widening of Long Beach Boulevard, In addition, new equipment
such as desks, tables, chairs, etc, , as outlined in the Capital Improve-
ment Budget, will also be purchased for the City Engineer's Office.
Y FREEWAY PROGRESS REPORT
Judge Pregerson issued his response to the State's request for recon-
sideration on September 11, 1972. The judge is basically maintaining
his original position requiring the State to file the necessary environ-
mental impact statements and housing availability studies prior to
lifting the preliminary injunction. State officials have indicated that they
are proceeding to comply with the Judge's order and that the impact of
these requirements may cause a delay of from 18 to 24 months in the
construction of this project. The Court has continued to allow the State
to acquire property from those individuals who freely wish to negotiate
sale to the State,
SENATE TRANSPORTATION COMMIT TEE.HEARING
On Tuesday, September 12, 1972 the Senate Transportation Committee
held hearings in Los Angeles on the proposed legislation affecting the
Century Freeway, Vice -Mayor John Stevens made a presentation to the
committee on behalf of the City of Lynwood, and was supported in his
presentation by five other corridor cities also in attendance at the
hearing, The meeting was scheduled, for an information purpose only
and no action was taken at its conclusion,
FEASIBILITY OF ONE -WAY STREETS
Following Council direction at the meeting of September 5, the Engineering
Department has made the following preliminary review of general engin-
eering criteria used for establishing one -way streets.
The basic reasons one -way streets are created are to increase the
capacity of the roadway; to increase safety to local traffic due to better
pedestrial crossings; and to improve the operation of a street (reduced
travel time) through an improved traffic signal progression.
Disadvantages of one -way streets generally occur through actual operation.
For example, most vehicles on one -way streets are operated by local
drivers who become acquainted with prescribed one -way designations.
However, a stranger may not be familiar with one -way street direction
and may become confused in selecting a particular route. One -way street
proposals are generally opposed by merchants who maintain an alleged
requirement to two -way traffic in order to sustain their businesses. Others
September 19, 1972 •
INFORMATION BULLETIN NO. 72 -17

may demand easy access to either in -bound morning traffic or out -bound
evening movement.
The irregular geographic make -up of Lynwood street patterns does not
lend itself to the ideal street pattern needed for one -way streets, As
individual complaints or problems occur, thorough studies of the area
should be reviewed in order to determine whether the traffic condition
can best be improved by a one -way street, parking restrictions or
additional traffic control devices.
OFF -SET DUPLICATION EQUIPMENT
As indicated at the last Council meeting, costs have recently been in-
curred from outside printing agencies due to continual breakdowns of the
City's offset duplicating equipment. This machine is now over twelve
years old and is a model which the company no longer produces. It is
becoming increasingly difficult to obtain repair and service on this
equipment and therefore a number of alternatives are being considered.
Since replacement was not budgeted this year, individual costs are being
obtained for separate Council review and action,
MAGIC ROBE HEALTH COMPLAINT
A Health Department inspection was made on September 13, 1972, re-
garding the complaint of cleaning kitchen floor racks in the parking area
in front of the Magic Robe restaurant, At that time a warning was issued
and follow -up review and inspection of this situation will continue.
WATER METER INSTALLATIONS
Pursuant to Council direction, Staff is preparing a study on the cost of
water meter installation as it relates to increased income received due to
the metering of these water services. These statistics, as well as
estimated costs for completion of this meter installation project will be
available at the next Council meeting,
STREET LIGHTING PROGRESS REPORT
Attached for Council review is a map indicating those areas of the City
which have currently received new street lighting under the recently
established lighting assessment district. The map also shows estimated
completion schedules for the various areas which have not as yet been
completed. This information is now being distributed to those citizens
who inquire about the proposed lighting schedule.
RECENT ACTIVITIES OF THE WATER DIVISION
The water main along Virginia Avenue from Los Flores to Elmwood has
been completed, The steel water line in the alley has been abandoned and
the paving is now completed. Residents in this area are receiving a
supply of water in greater pressure and quantity than when the steel main
Was in service.
Three intersections have received illumination with street identification
signs at Centure and Bullis and Wright Road, and Abbott and Atlantic.
This is the beginning of a project to illuminate various intersections
September 19, 1972

throughout the City by force account and contract.
The No. 12 well site situated on Imperial Highway in the vicinity of the Seventh
Day Adventist Church, for many years was non - operational due to the poor
quality of the water. This well has recently undergone an abandonment since
it was no longer feasible to maintain the equipment on standby service.
SPUR TRACK -- INDUSTRY WAY TO SERVE DYNA MFG, CO. BUI LDING
Donald R. Gray Co. has begun work on the spur track across Industry Way
in the Watts Industrial Park. This spur track is designed to serve Dyna
Manufacturing Company, The Southern Pacific Company will be installing
safety lighting equipment on both sides of this spur track . to protect traffic
on Industry Way during crossings. 'This work will involve the encasement
of sewer, water, telephone, power and gas lines, In addition, a storm drain
in Industry Way will require reconstruction with catch basins in order to
control the drainage in this vicinity. The City is inspecting the work and will
coordinate all activities with the Contractor.
NOVEMBER BALLOT PROPOSITIONS
Attached for Council review is a League report on the November Ballot
Propositions. The League is asking that Cities comment on those propositions
which relate to municipalities indicating either support of opposition to those
propositions and the reasons for the City's position.
NEW TRAFFIC CONTROL INSTALLATIONS -- CITATION PROCEDURE
At the meeting of September 5, Council requested a review of the citation pro-
cedures the City uses for newly installed traffic controls (boulevard stops).
It has been the policy of the Lynwood Police Department to warn violators of
newly installed traffic controls (boulevard stops) for a minimum of two weeks
prior to citations being issued. Depending on time of day or night, as well
as type of installation, this period may be extended to a period of thirty days,
However, in the event of an accident, a citation will be issued and the case
adjudicated by the court.
DIAL 911 -- EMERGENCY TELEPHONE
On August 17, 1972, Governor Reagan signed legislation declaring that the 911
Emergency Telephone Number will be in operation throughout the State by 1982.
The telephone 'company has not as yet been able to develop the added cost
estimates which will be developed for each individual city, As soon as additional
information is available, a further report will be provided to the City Council,
It would appear the general public has a great deal to benefit from the adoption
of a single emergency number which would be available wherever he traveled
throughout the State, and hopefully, the entire nation,

SUMMARY OF NOVEMBER 7, 1972; BALLOT PROPOSITIONS
Proposition 1 - Public Community College Facilities Bonds This act would provide
for the issuance of state bonds in the amount of $160 million, the revenue from
which would be expended for public community college capital outlay purposes. This
would include the acquisition of land, construction of buildings and acquisition of
necessary equipment.
Proposition 2 - Health Science Facilities Bond Act This act would provide for the
issuance of bonds in the amount of $155,900,000, the revenue from which would be
expended to meet the construction, equipment and site acquisition needs of the state
for the purposes of providing health science (medical schools) facilities on a
number of campuses of the University of California.
Proposition 3 - Pollution Control Facilities This proposition would authorize the
Legislature to provide for the issuance of revenue bonds to finance the acquisition,
construction and installation of environmental pollution control facilities for pri-
vate industry, including the acquisition of all technological facilities necessary
or convenient for pollution control. It would authorize the lease or sale of such
facilities to persons, associations or corporations other than municipal corpora-
tions. Revenue bonds would not be secured by the taxing power of the state. En=
abling legislation provides that the lease rentals on pollution facilities would,
pay both the principal and interest on revenue bonds and the operating costs of the
California Pollution Control Financing Authority which would be authorized to issue
$200 million in revenue bonds.
Proposition 4 - Legislative Reorganization This constitutional amendment propoie
substantial legislative reorganization, including 2 -year sessions, with the Legis -
lature convening on the first Monday in December of each even - numbered year and
adjourning on November 30 of the following even - numbered year. Neither House could
recess for more than ten days without the consent of the other House. Legislative
sessions and the introduction and committee consideration of legislation would be'
substantially similar to Congressional sessions and the manner in which bills are'
considered by the Congress. Bills introduced in the first calendar year of a
biennium would carry over to the second calendar year. However, any bill intro-
duced during the first calendar year that has not been acted upon in the House of
origin by January 30 of the second calendar year could no longer be acted upon by
such House. A statute enacted at a regular session would take effect on January 1
next following a 90 -day period from the date of the enactment of the statute.
Urgency measures, tax levies and certain appropriation and election statutes would
continue to take effect immediately upon their enactment. The Legislature would be
prohibited from passing bills after November 15 of the second calendar year. No
bill could be passed by either House after September 1 of an even - numbered year
except urgency measures, tax levies, appropriations for the usual current expenses
of the state and statutes calling elections. The League supported the proposed
constitutional amendment when it was considered by the Legislature because it
believes that cities have a vital interest in legislation and that the legislative
process will be substantially improved if the reorganization is accomplished.
Approval of this proposition by the voters will enable the Legislature to organize
early in December, elect officers, appoint committees, introduce legislation, re-
cess for the Christmas Holidays and be prepared by the first Monday in January to
go to work. As it is now, the Legislature meets early in January but the actual
work of the Legislature is delayed by almost two months during which time the
9/1/72
0 0
Legislature is getting organized and bills are being introduced. Under the pro-
posal, this could be accomplished during the month of December without the same loss
of time which now occurs.
Proposition 5 - P of School District Bonds The Legislature may now provide
for the incorporation, organization and classification of elementary, high school,
junior college and unified school districts. This proposal would authorize the
Legislature to permit governing boards of school districts to initiate and carry on
any programs, activities, or to otherwise act in any manner not in conflict with
the laws and purposes for which school districts are established. This authority
for school districts to initiate or expand programs would be permissive.
Pro position 6 - Constitutional Revision This proposal was recommended by the Con-
stitution Revision Commission and has been substantially revised by the Legislature.
It would repeal Section 3 of Article I which declares the state to be an inseparable
part of the American Union and the United States Constitution to be the supreme law
of the land. However, this section is re- enacted in the proposed new Article III.
It would repeal and re -enact Article III relating to the separation of powers and
provide that the powers of state government are legislative, executive and judicial.
The new article would include sections from existing articles declaring Sacramento
to be the State Capital and relating to suits against the state. It would repeal
Article X except for the provision which prohibits the state from contracting the
labor of convicts. The new article would provide that salaries of elected state
officers may not be reduced during their terms of office. It would delete a pro-
vision limiting terms of office to four years, thereby restoring to the Legislature
authority to limit terms of office. Like other recommendations of the Constitution
Revision Commission, basic rights are retained, ambiguous language is deleted and
the revised wording of the Constitution is both more concise and understandable.
Proposition 7 - Suffrage This is a complete revision of Article II of the Con-
stitution relating to voting requirements. The present language of the Con-
stitution relating to voting age, residence requirements, literacy, registration
periods, and other voting qualifications have been substantially altered by courti'
decisions and federal laws. This proposal revises the present article to provide ,
that a United States citizen 18 -years of age and a resident in this state may vote.
The Legislature is required to define residence and to prescribe a minimum period
of residence, as well as to provide for registration and free elections. The
Legislature also is required to prohibit improper election practices and to pro-
hibit mentally deficient persons and persons convicted of infamous crimes, em-
bezzlement or misappropriation of public money from voting. The proposal contf.nur.fJ
the requirement that city, county, school and judicial offices shall be non- partlsan.
This proposal is based substantially on the recommendations of the California Con-
stitution Revision Commission and restates the article on suffrage in clear and con-
cise terms.
Proposition 8 - Taxation Exemption for Pollution Control Facilities This proposi-
tion would authorize the Legislature to exempt from ad valorem taxation in whole or
in part any air, water or noise pollution control facilities. Facilities include
real or personal property in the form of machines,equipment, installations, devices,
fixtures or systems and also would include that portion of a commercial or manu-
facturing unit, system, or process identified as property which removes, eliminates,
reduces, or controls air, water, or noise pollution so as to produce results which
meet or exceed control standards required by law. Buildings are not included unless
the building is exclusively used for pollution control purposes. The Legislature
:rust provide for subventions to counties, cities and districts in an amount equal
to the amount of revenue lost by reason of such exemption and any act authorizing
such an exemption must contain an estimate of the subvention required.
-2- 9/1/72
•
Proposition 9 - School Buildings Indebtedness This proposition would authorize
issuance of general obligation bonds by a majority rather than a two - thirds vote of
the electors when the purpose of incurring such indebtedness is to repair, recon-
struct or replace public school buildings determined to be structurally unsafe for
school use.
Proposition 10 - Property. Taxation Exemption for Blind Veterans Proposition 10
would increase the maximum property tax exemption which the Legislature is authorized
to give blind veterans from $5,000 to $10,000. Blindness must be permanent and
military or naval service connected.
Proposition 11 - Privacy The Constitution now provides "All men are by nature free
and independent, and have certain inalienable rights, among,which are those of en-
joying and defending life and liberty; acquiring, possessing, and protecting prop-
erty; and pursuing.and obtaining safety and happiness." Proposition 11 would add
the pursuit and obtaining,of "privacy" as an inalienable right.
Proposition 12 - Property Taxation of Residence of Disabled Veterans Proposition 12
would authorize the Legislature to exempt from taxation the home, up to a maximum
of $10,000 of assessed valuation, of any resident veteran who as a result of military
or naval service has lost the use of both arms, who is blind in both eyes and has lost
the use of either an am or a leg or who has lost the use of both an arm and a leg.
The Constitution presently permits the Legislature to.so exempt property of a veteran
who has lost the.use of both legs.
Proposition 13 - Workmen's Compensation Proposition 13 would permit the Legislature
to provide that when an employee dies as the result of an industrial injury and leaves
no dependent heirs, the death benefit which otherwise would have been paid to the
surviving dependent shall be paid to the state to be used for the payment of extra
compensation for subsequent injuries beyond the liability of a single employer for
awards to his employees. Under present law, when a worker with a pre- existing dis-
ability suffers a subsequent job- connected injury resulting in a combined total '
permanent disability of 70% or more, the employer is responsible only for that de-
gree of permanent disability arising from the subsequent injury. The balance of
the disability obligation is assumed by the Subsequent Injury Fund supported by the
State General Fund. Approval of Proposition 13 would reduce the cost of the program
to the State General Fund.
Proposition 14 - Taxation (Watson This initiative adding a new section to the
Constitution was first analyzed in a bulletin we sent, with a copy of the initiative,
to all city officials on November 9, 1971. On April 21, 1972, we again sent cities
bath an actual copy of the taxation initiative and analysis and report prepared for
the Assembly Committee on Revenue and Taxation. The Legislative Analyst is re-
quired by law to submit to the Secretary of State for distribution to the voters in
the official ballot pamphlet,. "An impartial financial analysis of the measure which f
shall include the amount o any increase or decrease in revenue and /or cost to the
state and /or local government." Mr. Post's analysis follows our summary.
It is the intent of proposition 14 that the property tax shall be limited to 1.75%
of market value for all purposes other than the payment of.debts or liabilities.
Debts or liabilities means indebtedness, the term of which is two years or more if
payment is to be from ad valorem property taxes. Debts or liabilities also in-
cludes aggregate unpaid rent under lease agreements between public entities, the
term of which is two years or.more and includes obligations arising from terms and
conditions of annexation of territory or from contracts between public entities to
the extent that the ways and means for the payment of such debts or liabilities
1 -3= 9/1/72
0
shall be from ad valorem property taxes
value.
0
Assessed valuation means 25% of full cash
It also is the intent of the taxation initiative that all costs of education, ex-
cept as therein provided, and all costs of social welfare shall be funded by the
state and paid from sources other than property taxes. The state is prohibited from
levying a property tax except to service debts outstanding on the effective date of
the taxation initiative. Counties or other local agencies would be prohibited from
levying an ad valorem tax for the purpose of paying the costs of social welfare
services.
After the effective date of the initiative, the tax levied by each county could not
exceed $2.00 per $100 of assessed valuation; cities would be limited to $2.00; and
cities and counties to $4.00. The property tax levied by or on behalf of all intra-
county taxing agencies (every subordinate taxing agency other than counties, cities,
cities and counties, and school districts) could not exceed 504 per $100 of assessed
valuation of taxable property within each such county, and in the event the budgets
o all such agencies required an aggregate tax in excess of 50�, the board of super-
visors would apportion the maximum tax rate. The property tax levied by inter -
county taxing agencies also would be limited to 504 per $100 of assessed valuation
of taxable property within such inter - county agencies.
If the above limits were exceeded for the fiscal year 1971 -72, the rate levied in
that fiscal year exclusive of rates attributable to costs of education, costs of
social welfare and payments on debts or liabilities would be the limit until the
1976 -77 fiscal year. Commencing with the fiscal year 1977 -78, there would be no
exceptions to the above limits.
Each county would be required to levy an additional $2.00 property tax for the
support of public schools, grades kindergarten through 12. The state would be re-
ouired to allocate from its General Fund and apportion to each county $825 per ADA
less the sum per ADA derived from the $2.00 school property tax. The base amount
could be adjusted by the Legislature and would have to be adjusted to reflect cost-
of- living changes. The board of supervisors of each county would apportion the
aggregate amount made available for school purposes.
After the effective date of the taxation initiative, local public entities would
levy ad valorem property taxes to pay for debts or liabilities only if the proposi-
tion for incurring each debt or liability had been approved by a two - thirds vote
of the electorate cast at either a statewide primary or genera]. election. if the
area was uninhabited, two- thirds of the property owners would have to approve the
indebtedness. No debts or liabilities could be incurred for operating and mainte-
nance expenses but only for acquiring capital assets or making capital improvements.
The taxation initiative would increase the state sales and use tax from 3 3/4% to
6 %. The local sales and use tax would be fixed at 1% (the county rate is currently
1 1/4% in all counties, with 1/4% designated for public transportation purposes.
In Bay Area counties it is 1 3/4%, with the additional 1/2% going for BART). These
rates could be increased by a two- thirds vote of the members of the Legislature or
decreased by a majority vote. No tax could be imposed on retail sales of pre-
scription medicine or food products which were exempt on January 1, 1971.
After the effective date of the taxation initiative, no change could be made in the
personal income tax to increase revenue except by a two- thirds vote of the Legis-
lature. The initiative also provides that the minimum cigarette tax shall be 204
per pack (it is currently 10¢) and the minimum liquor tax $2.50 per gallon (it is
now $2.00). It imposes a 7% severance tax on the extraction of all minerals, but
-4- 9/1/72
9 0
provides that the person paying the severance tax may deduct ad valorem taxes paid
the preceding year on the mining or mineral right in the product or in the property
from which the product has been produced or extracted. Cities may continue to levy
business license taxes on persons extracting such minerals.
After the effective date of the taxation initiative, exemption of property from ad
valorem taxes or the classification of property resulting in reduced taxes must be
approved by a majority vote at a statewide primary or general election. The present
provisions of the Constitution providing for the taxation of insurance companies
are repealed and the Constitution is amended to provide that the Legislature shall
provide for the uniform taxation of corporations, including insurance companies and
banks. Taxes shall be measured by net income at a uniform rate of 11 %. The rate
may be changed by a two - thirds vote of the Legislature.
According to A. Alan Post, Legislative Analyst, this initiative would have the fol-
lowing annual fiscal affects on state and local governments based on 1973 -74 esti-
mates:
"1. State costs would be increased by $2,226 million, state revenues would
increase by $1,854 million, leaving a revenue gap of $372 million.
2. By repealing the new local sales tax for public transportation, city and
county revenues would be reduced by $151 million.
3. Cities and counties would gain $61 million from the increase in the
cigarette tax.
4. Local property taxes would be reduced by $3,201 million, or 43 per-
cent. This reduction is composed of: (a) the $2,430 million shift in i..
property tax costs to the state, offset by a $204 million reduction
in state reimbursements for property tax relief, for a net state cost
increase of $2,226 million, plus (b) a $771 million reduction in local
school support, described below.
The principal reasons for the increases in state costs are the changes in
financing local schools, community colleges, social welfare, and Medi -Cal.
Under existing law, state and local property tax support for local schools,
grades kindergarten through 12, will average $995 per pupil in average daily
attendance (ADA). This initiative requires the state to apportion $825 per
ADA to each county, minus the amounts that will be raised from a new $2
county property tax, which is a substitute for the existing school district
ta::es. This change will shift part of the cost of supporting schools from
the local property tax to the state, and we estimate the magnitude of this
shift at $1,109 million. It also will result in a net reduction of $771
million in local educational expenditures because the $825 allowance is be-
low the $995 level estimated to be expended under existing law. This $771 j
million reduction was not included in our estimates of additional state
costs, because the initiative does not require the state to maintain the
existing level of educational expenditures.
Property taxes no longer could be used to support the current operations
of community colleges, child care or development centers for handicapped
minors, resulting in a $520 million increase in state costs. The counties`
share of social welfare and Medi -Cal costs, i.e. $801 million, also would
be shifted to the state.
The 43 percent reduction in property taxes would reduce state reimburse-
ments for the homeowners' and business inventory exemptions, the senior
-5- 9/1/72
U
"citizen and open space property tax reimbursements programs, for a
state savings of $204 million.
The $1,854 million increase in state revenue will result from the
following tax changes mandated by this initiative:
1. State sales tax rate increase from 3.75 to 6 percent. This will
produce $1,328 million in added revenue.
2. Cigarette tax rate increase from 10 to 20 cents per pack. This
will add $143 million for state government, and $61 million for
cities and couties. '
3. Distilled spirits tax rate increase from $2 to $2.50 per gallon.
This will add $26 million in state revenue.
4. Corporation franchise tax rate increase from 7.6 to 11 percent,
adding $294 million in revenue.
,
5. State bank tax rate reduction from 11.6 to 11 percent. This will
;r
result,in a $4 million revenue loss.
6. Elimination of the gross premiums tax on insurance companies and
their principal office deductions. It substitutes a new 11 percent
net income tax. This will produce a $150 million revenue loss.
This estimate assumes that existing statutory provisions will be i
nullified by this constitutional change.
??.z 7. A new 7 percent severance tax on all minerals would produce $108
million in revenue gain.
The above changes in state and local property taxes will have the effect
e of reducing claimed itemized deductions on personal income and corporate
franchise tax returns, resulting in a $109 million increase in state
revenues.
This initiative imposes new property tax rate limits on cities, counties
and special districts. Some of California's larger cities, such as Los
Angeles, Oakland and Sacramento had 1971 -72 property tax rates in excess
of the proposed $2 limit. This measure provides that last year.'ra rates
shall. be a temporary ceiling for the next four years, and thereafter they
must be reduced to the $2 limit. The tax rate roll -back would occur in
1977 -78, and involve a substantial but unknown reduction in property
taxes. In some counties, such as Contra Costa, Sacramento and Orange,
total property taxes for intracounty special districts probably exceeded
the proposed $0.50 tax rate limit during 1971 -72. These rates also would
have to be reduced in 1977 -78. We are unable to ascertain the impact of
` the proposed county property tax rate limits because there are uncer-
tainties on how they shall be computed."
Proposition 15 - State Employee Salaries This initiative would add a new article
to the Constitution relative to state employee salaries and to state employer -
employee relations. It would require the State Personnel Board, the Regents of
the University of California and the Trustees of the California State University
and Colleges, each to determine annually general prevailing rates for comparable
services in both private enterprise and public employment and to report such
-6- 9/1/72
• 0
findings to the Governor, together with recommendations as to funds necessary to
adjust such salaries and other benefits in order that they equal prevailing rates.
The Governor must submit such recommendations in the budget to the Legislature
and these budget items cannot be reduced or eliminated �.ccept by a two - thirds vote
of the Legislature,nor can this part of the legislatively enacted budget be re-
duced or eliminated by the Governor. Any modification ordered by the Legislature
shall apply uniformly to all employees affected by the increases and the Legis-
lature shall not adjust salary differentials. All matters relating to employer -
employee relations and terms and conditions of employment other than salary and
benefits fixed as indicated above are to be resolved by written agreement between
the state appointing powers and majority employee organizations freely elected by
secret ballot. Disputes between the state and its employees shall be resolved by
independent arbitration if requested by either party.
Proposition 16 - Salaries - California Highway Patrol This constitutional ini-
tiative would add a new section requiring the State Personnel Board to determine
the maximum salary paid by each county and city within the state for each class of
position of policemen or deputy sheriffs employed by counties and cities. After
July 1, 1973, and each July thereafter, the Board would be required to fix the
salary for the California Highway Patrol at an amount at least equal to the highest
maximum rate established for any city policeman or county deputy sheriff. The
Board would report to the Governor and commencing with the budget for 1973 -74 and
each year thereafter, such amount would have to be included in the budget and could
not be modified or stricken therefrom except by a.two- thirds vote of each House
of the Legislature.
Proposition 17 - Death Penalty This initiative constitutional amendment would
add a new Article providing that all statutes of this state in effect on February
17, 1972, requiring, authorizing, imposing, or relating to the death penalty are
in full force and effect, subject to legislative amendment or repeal by statute„
initiative or referendum. The proposal expressly provides that the death penalty;
shall not be deemed to be, or to constitute, the infliction of cruel or unusual I �
punishment nor to contravene any other provision of the California Constitution -.
Proposition 18 - Obscenity Legislation This initiative statute would amend
existing statutes regulating obscene matter and obscene conduct, and harmful matter
with respect to minors, and would add additional provisions. It's principal pro-'
visions are: (1) elimination from the definitions of "obscene matter," "obscene
conduct," and' )harmful matter," the test that such matter or conduct be utterly
without redeeming social importance; (2) definition of "contemporary standards"
as local "standards generally prevailing in the incorporated area in which the
activity complained of occurred ....(or, in the case of unincorporated areas) the!
standards generally prevailing within a 10 -mile radius of the area in which such
activity occurred "; (3) make it a public nuisance for any person to furnish or
distribute any matter containing any visual representation of described portions
of the human body or depicting sexual conduct, as defined, within one mile of a
private or public elementary or high school, or a public park; and proscribes,
as a misdemeanor, other express conduct, or the creation, possession, exhibition,
or distribution of defined materials, whether or not obscene; (4) provision for '
injunctive relief in the nature of prior restraint of'the sale, distribution, or
public showing of prohibited matter or activity; (5) provides that "counties,
cities, and other political subdivisions" of the state, may further regulate such
materials and conduct. The initiative also provides for several express defenses
with the burden of proof being upon the defendant.
Proposition 19 - Marijuana This initiative statute would provide that "No per-
son in the State of California 18 years of age or, older shall be punished criminally,
-7- 9/1/72
• •
or be denied any right or privilege, by reason of such person's planting, culti-
vating, harvesting, drying, processing, otherwise preparing, transporting, or
possessing marijuana for personal use, or by reason of that use." The initiative
also provides that it shall in no way be construed to repeal existing legislation
or to limit the enactment of future legislation prohibiting persons under the in-
fluence of marijuana from engaging in conduct that endangers others.
Proposition 20 - Coastal Zone Conservation Act This initiative declares that the
California coastal zone is a distinct and valuable natural resource; that permanent
protection of the remaining natural and scenic resources of the coastal zone is of
paramount concern; and that it is the policy of the state to` preserve, protect and,
where possible, restore the resources of the coastal zone for this and future
generations.
Proposition 20 would create the California Coastal Zone Conservation Commission
consisting of 6 public members appointed by the Governor, the Speaker, and the Senate
Rules Committee (2 each) and 6 representatives chosen by and from 6 regional com-
missions (1 each). Regional commissions would consist of 12, 14 or 16 members.
Half (6, 7 or 8) of the membership of each regional commission would be elected
representatives of counties and cities and the balance public members appointed by
the Senate Rules Committee, the Speaker, and the Governor. All appointments would
have to be made by December 31, 1972. The state and regional commissions would be
required to study the coastal zone, prepare a statewide plan for its conservation,
and management and regulate its development by an interim permit system while the
plan is being prepared. The plan would have to be completed and submitted to the
Legislature by the end of 1975. The commissions, the permit system and the ini-
tiative statute would cease to exist after the 1976 Session of the Legislature. The
Legislature by a two - thirds vote could amend the initiative statute to better
achieve its objectives. If the voters approve Proposition 20, the proponents may
seek such legislation even though it may not be absolutely necessary to clarify this
temporary measure. We summarize in some detail, however, if a copy of the ini-
tiative is desired, please advise.
The state and regional commissions are empowered to employ such staff as may be
necessary. Each regional commission may utilize the staff of any existing federally
recognized regional planning agency and such agency must provide staff assistance
on request insofar as its resources permit. Regional commissions may also request
assistance of state and local agencies.
The initiative defines the coastal zone planning jurisdiction as 3 miles seaward
and inland to the highest elevation of the nearest coastal mountain range, except
chat the inland boundary in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties, is 5 miles
inland or the nearest mountain range, whichever is the shorter distance.
Proposition 20 requires the Commission to prepare, adopt, and submit the Cali-
fornia Coastal Zone Conservation Plan to the Legislature by December 1, 1975, for
adoption and implementation. The coastal zone plan is defined as a comprehensive,'
coordinated, enforceable plan for the orderly, longrange conservation and manage-
ment of the natural resources of the coastal zone. The measure specifies objec-
tives and outlines elements to be included in the plan as follows: (1) Land use,
(2) Transportation, (3) Conservation, (4) Public access, (5) Recreation, (6) Public
services and facilities, including a study of specified factors concerning power
plant siting, (7) Ocean mineral resources and ocean living resources, (8) Educa-
tional and scientific, (9) Population. Other items to be included in the plan are:
(1) Definition of public interest in coastal zone. (2) Ecological planning
principles and assumptions to be used in determining the extent and suitability
of allowable development. (3) Reservation of land or water in the coastal zone
-8- 9/1/72
0 0
for certain.uses or the prohibition of certain uses in specific areas. (4) Recom-
mendation for legislative, administrative, and private actions needed for imple-
mentation.
The plan must also include recommendations for the governmental policies and powers
- required to implement the coastal zone plan, including the organization and
authority of the governmental agency or'agencies which should assume permanent re-
sponsibility for its implementation.
Within six months of its first meeting, the Commission must publish objectives,
guidelines and criteria of the collection of data, the conduct of studies, and the
preparation of local and regional recommendations for inclusion in the coastal zone
plan.
The commissions meet monthly and their first meetings must be in February 1973.
Each regional commission, in cooperation with appropriate local agencies, must pre-
pare its definitive conclusions and recommendations, including recommendations for
areas that should be reserved for specific uses or within which specific uses should
be prohibited. After "a public hearing in each county in the region, the conclusions
and recommendations are adopted by each regional commission and submitted to the
Commission by April 1, 1975.
The Commission (after consulting with local, regional, state, and federal agencies,
educational institutions, civic and public interest organizations, and private
organizations and individuals) must prepare and adopt a coastal zone plan by
December 1, 1975, and submit it to the Legislature for its adoption and imple-
mentation.
The measure defines the permit area as that portion of the coastal zone lying be-
tween 3 miles seaward and inland 1,000 yards from mean high tide of the sea
(Pacific Ocean and all harbors, bays, channels, estuaries, salt marshes, sloughs
subject to tidal action through a connection with the sea). The precise boundary:
of the permit area must be determined by each regional commission, within two months
of its first meeting.
On request of a city or county,residential areas zoned, stabilized and developed
to a density of four or more dwelling units per acre prior to January 1, 1972, or
commercial or industrial zones developed and stabilized for such use prior to
January 1, 1972, may be excluded from the permit area by a regional commission.
An;area is stabilized if 80% of the lots are built upon to the maximum'extent per-
mitted by zoning existing on January 1, 1972. The jurisdictional area of BCDC also is
excluded. Included are non -tidal bodies of water in the permit area and 1,000
feet of surrounding land. t
After February 1, 1973, every person or corporation (public or private) wishing to
undertake any development within the permit area must obtain a permit from the
regional commission, and if required by law, from the county or city. No permit
may be issued without a majority vote of the regional commission at a public hear-
ing. Development is very broadly defined and includes, among other things, dredg-
ing, excavation, lot splits, reconstruction, demolition or alteration of structures
(roads, pipelines), and change in density or intensity of use of water or access
thereto. Exceptions are limited to (a) repairs and improvements to single - family
residences not in excess of $7,500 and (b) maintenance dredging. In addition, per-
mits may be issued by the executive officer in cases of emergency or for repairs
or improvements to existing structures not in excess of $25,000 and other develop-
ments not in excess of $10,000. Proposition 20 expressly grandfathers in all
development for which a permit was obtained and vested rights established prior to
the effective date of the initiative. In other words, the act itself establishes
-9- 9/1/72
such vested rights for work commenced prior to April 1972. However, the Legislative
Counsel has stated that persons performing any development without a permit between
April 1972 and February 1973 will not be subject to the civil penalties provided by
the act.
A two - thirds vote of a regional commission, or State Commission on appeal, is re-
quired for the following uses: ;
' (1) Alterations of water areas.
(2) Developments which would reduce the size of any beach or other area
usable or potentially usable for public recreation.
(3) Developments which would reduce or impose restrictions on public
access to the coast.
(4) Developments which would substantially interfere with the line of
sight toward the sea from the state highway nearest the coast.
(5) Developments which would adversely affect water quality, existing
areas of open water free of visible structures, existing and potential
commercial and sport fisheries, or agricultural uses of land existing
on the effective date of the act.
n
i
Permits cannot be issued unless the regional commission has first found: I
(1) That the development will not have any substantial adverse en-
vironmental or ecological effect and
(2) That the development is consistent with the policies and objectives
of the act.
Each local agency shall send the regional commission a duplicate of applications
for building or other development permits and advise the commission of the granting
of such permits. Permit applications to the regional commissions are followed by
a public hearing between 21 -90 days later. An application for a permit must be
acted upon by the regional commission within 60 days after conclusion of the hear-
ing. An applicant receiving a denial, or conditions it wishes to challenge or any
person aggrieved by the approval may appeal to the Commission within 10 days. The
Commission may either decline to hear an appeal or schedule a de novo public hear
ing If the Commission fails to act within 60,days after the noti.ce of appaal iri
filed, the decision of the regional commission becomes final. Any person aggrieved
by a decision has a right to a judicial review within 60 days after the decision
for which judicial review is sought has become final.
Violations of the act are subject to a $10,000 fine; in addition, persons per-
forming development in violation of the act are subject to $500 per day fines. Any
person may maintain an action for declaratory relief against development in viola-
tion of the act and may maintain an action to recover civil penalties. Any person
who prevails in such an action is awarded his costs, including reasonable attorneys
fees.
Unless an individual obtains a written determination (by a two- thirds vote) from
the Commission that there would be no conflict the measure restricts conflicting
activities of (1) Members and employees of the Commission or regional commissions;
(2) Former members or employees within one year of termination of appointment; and
(3) Partners, employers, or employees of members or. employees.
-10- 9/1/72
in addition, the measure restricts the participation of any member or employee in
any official capacity if any of the following has a financial interest in the mat-
ter affected:
(1) the member or employee himself, his spouse, child, or partner;
(2) any organization in which he is serving or has served as an officer
or employee (within 2 years prior to his appointment); and
(3) any organization with which he is negotiating concerning prospective
employment.
The measure does not preclude certain commission members or employees from voting
or otherwise acting on matters that they may have voted upon previously while
serving as a member of a local or regional government, regardless of the nature of
the conflict.
Penalties for violation of the conflict of interest provisions include a $10,000
fine or two years imprisonment, or both.
The initiative appropriates $5,000,000 from the Bagley Conservation Fund or the
General Fund to support state and regional commission activities during fiscal
years 1973 -76.
The act is automatically repealed on the 91st day after final adjournment of the
1976 Legislature, and it authorizes the Legislature, by a two- thirds vote, to amend
the act in order to better achieve the objectives set forth therein. Except for
equal rather than majority representation of elected local officials on regional
commissions and express and direct responsibility in the planning process, the
initiative is essentially the same as AB 200 and SB 100 which, as last amended,
the League approved.
i
Proposition 21 - Student School Assignment This initiative statute would provide
that no public school student shall, because of his race, creed, or color, be
assigned to or be required to attend a particular school. It repeals existing
