The California Conservation Corps (CCC) is facing a 50 percent reduction in its budget, a cut which threatens to close the local CCC Center which serves the Central Coast. (See Exhibit 1, California Conservation Corps 50 Percent Budget Reduction. ) Since its inception in 1976, the CCC has established a tremendous record of community and environmental service. Perhaps more important, this program has provided training, education, social graces and confidence to young people. In turn, it has developed productive, hardworking individuals who may not have had an opportunity for advancement in society except through their experiences in the CCC. A -local task force, led by County Supervisor Ruth Brackett, has been established to gather support for the CCC. On June 26, 1992, Assemblywoman Andrea Seastrand convened a meeting of representa- tives from all Central Coast cities, the County, the State, the SLO Land Conservancy, the Private Industry Council, PG&E, Unocal, Southern California Gas Company, ECOSLO, Cal Poly State University and Cuesta College. These representatives formed a local task force, with County Supervisor Ruth Brackett presiding, to gather support for the CCC. At this meeting, CCC Director Dick Bernheimer explained the CCC's plight and described what the CCC would need to survive and keep the CCC Center at Camp San Luis open. (See Exhibit 2, Bernheimer Speech. ) Keeping the CCC Center at Camp San Luis open with a minimal force will require firm commitments for a total of $550. 000 from various local public agencies and private companies. Such a commitment would pay for a basic CCC contingent of three working crews with supervisors, one cook, one secretary, and one manager. Over the last 16 years, the City has used CCC services extensively.

Staff has assembled the following list of it City projects which would be appropriate for the CCC. Typical procedure calls for the City to furnish materials and pay the CCC for its labor only.

The next meeting of the task force is scheduled for July 31st, when agencies will review the total commitments to the CCC. (See Exhibit 4, letter from Assemblywoman Seastrand) . The commitments must be made by August 1, 1992. Therefore, Council action on July 21 is essential. A formal letter of commitment to be executed by the Mayor is provided as Exhibit 5. FISCAL IMPACT: All projects not marked with an asterisk are fully budgeted through operating budget appropriations or capital improvement plan designations. Money for the Mission Plaza projects would come from the CIP allocation for Mission Plaza Improvements (200,000 available) . Money for the Santa Rosa Street Median Island Landscaping would come from the CIP allocation for the Corporation Yard Landscaping ($30, 000) , which is on hold pending completion of the master plan for that area. ii�tl��►►►�►IIIIII�I�° ��B�N city 0� SmI Luis ogispo UNGS COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT California Conservation Corps Page 3 Attacbments: Exhibit 1 - CCC 50 Percent Budget Reduction Exhibit 2 - Bernheimer Speech Exhibit 3 - Matrix of Public Service Conservation Work Exhibit 4 - Seastrand Letter Exhibit 5 - Mayor's Letter I c8� EXHIBIT 1 California Conservation Cc 3 MYkX EXHIBITrI 50 Percent Budget Reduction Overview. The latest figures from the Department of Finance estimate a $4 billion or more shortfall; the official 'May revise' projection is expected within a few weeks. .The state budget crisis is very real, and from all indications, worsening. The Resources Agency's share of the shortfall, at thi§ time, comes to $76 million. The state's top priorities are health and safety and the Governor's prevention initiatives. Each Cabinet Secretary must find the required savings from departments, boards, and commissions within their own agencies. The CCC has been asked to reduce its General Fund expenditures by 50 percent, resulting in a $16 million cut for the 1992-93 fiscal year. In order to realize savings beginning this July, we will begin the implementation of this.cut immediately. CCC cuts in Governor's budget $ 3.4 million 50% reduction of $32 million General Fund appropriation $16. million Loss of reimbursement $$$ (less crews) 2. million General Fund Reduction, Lost Reimb. _ $18. million $18. million i . Total reduction $21.4 million . Center Closures & Headquarters Cuts To meet this level of reduction, the CCC's only alternative was to cut centers and satellites and reduce headquarters. This means staff and corpsmember positions will be lost To achieve this level of reduction, we had only difficult choices to make, as each of the centers can make a strong case for remaining open. The major criteria considered were geographic coverage of the state, ability to generate reimbursement dollars, maintaining our commitments to special funding, and maintaining a presence in resource-rich areas. Overall, we must close the following.seven centers, and the training Academy, to achieve.a budget reduction of this magnitude. * Bay Area * Camanllo * Central Coast * Delta ' Inland Empire * Mendocino * Sisklyou C-8� Satellites We will be eliminating 11 satellite crews and closing most satellites of the closed centers. Fourteen satellites will remain, including most in the major metropolitan areas. The Leggett and Hayfork satellites will be the only residential satellites in operation. The net corpsmember satellite population reduction is 109. The corpsmember population at the remaining satellites will be 267 (excluding the Salmon Restoration ProjecVs,46 corpsmembers). Bea quarters Impar Headquarters would take a total reduction of$705,102. This brings the total of headquarters reductions to 16 positions. Reduction in Cornsmember Strength With the seven center closures, our total budgeted corpsrrember strength, including local corps, will drop from 1746 to 1090, a loss of 656 corpsmembers. The proportion of residential corpsmembers would increase. Of the 1090 corpsmembers, the CCC . would be authorized 1035 and 55 would be allocated to the local corps. j The impact on the local corps programs will be a drop from funding 76 to 55 corpsmembers, a loss of 21 corpsmembers. What's Ahead The Governor and the Legislature will have the ultimate say as to the CCC's final budget. However, we must begin implementing these cuts now, to even come close to meeting the projected full-year savings. 'If not, the shortfall will grow worse. We want the CCC to survive as a program and a department dedicated to young people and the environment. The next few months may be the toughest in the CCUs history — let us work together to implement this plan, and hope that as the economy improves, the Corps will once again be able to grow. , i s _ California ' I . - Conservation Ste: � ' Dal Nona : .

COMING HERE TODAY TO EXPRESS YOUR CONCERN FOR THE FUTURE OF THE CCC AND TO SHARE YOUR IDEAS FOR MAINTAINING A CONTINUING PRESENCE FOR THE CCC IN THE SAN LUIS AREA, I DO NOT WANT TO DWELL TOO LONG ON HOW AND WHY WE GOT TO THIS SORRY SITUATION BECAUSE I AM SURE YOU ARE ALL TOO AWARE OF THE STATES BUDGET CRISIS, DUE TO THE $10 MILLION +OR- REVENUE GAP THE STATE GENERAL FUND AGENCIES WILL SUSTAIN AN ESTIMATED ACROSS THE BOARD CUT OF 15 TO 20 %. UNFORTUNATELY, CUTS ARE NOT TRULY ACROSS THE BOARD, THEY ARE ONLY AVERAGE CUTS WITH SOME DEPARTMENTS RECEIVING HIGHER AND SOME LOWER CUTS THAN THE AVERAGE. IN THE CASE OF THE CCC, WE HAVE THE MISFORTUNE, IN TERMS OF THE BUDGET, OF BEING IN THE RESOURCES AGENCY ALONG WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY, CDF HAS 65% OF THE ENTIRE GENERAL FUND BUDGET FOR ALL DEPARTMENTS IN THE RESOURCES AGENCY. BECAUSE REDUCTIONS IN THE CDF BUDGET DIRECTLY RELATE TO FIRE FIGHTING CAPACITY AND PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY DEEP CUTS IN THAT BUDGET TRANSLATE C-8 8 -JUL-- 2-92 THU 3 :49 C HQs EXECUTIVE 1 P. 03 INTO CLOSING FIRE CENTERS AND AIR TANKER BASES. IT IS A VERY TOUGH PRACTICAL AND POLITICAL DECISION TO KEEP A CCC CENTER AND CLOSE A FIRE CENTER, IF YOU GUESS WRONG AND CLOSE THE WRONG FIRE CENTER I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU THE CONSEQUENCES. THE RESULT OF THIS CATCH 22 IS THAT CDF WILL TAKE A LESSER CUT, AND, a THE REMAINING DEPARTMENTS IN THE AGENCY WILL TAKE A GREATER CUT. THE CUT FOR THE CCC HAS BEEN SET AT 50% BELOW THE AMOUNT IN THE GOVERNORS BUDGET PRESENTED IN JANUARY, WHICH WAS ALREADY 6 To 7% BELOW THE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET, AS YOU MAY NOT KNOW HOWEVER, STATE PROGRAMS CANNOT BE CUT INSTANTLY. THE LAWS AND RULES GOVERNING SENIORITY AND LAYOFF ARE CUMBERSOME AND TIME CONSUMING. FOUR TO EIGHT MONTH IS TO BE EXPECTED. THEREFORE IF CUTS CAN NOT BE PUT INTO EFFECT AT THE START OF THE FISCAL YEAR TO GENERATE A FULL 12 MONTH SAVING, EVER INCREASING LEVEL OF CUTS MUST BE MADE TO COVER THE PERIOD OF DELAY, WHILE THE BUDGET IS NOT YET FINAL, THE AGENCY AND THE CCC, BASED ON THE ANTICIPATED LEVEL OF CUTS, HAVE . INITIATED THE DOWNSIZING PROCESS AS EARLY AS a ' . JUL_ 2-92 THU 3 :511 :C HQs EXECUTIVE P. 04 POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE AS NEARLY AS POSSIBLE THE FULL 12 MONTHS SAVING FOR THE ACTIONS TAKEN, EVEN WITH THE HEAD START WE HAVE TAKEN, MOST OF OUR PERSONNEL REDUCTIONS WILL NET ONLY 10 TO 10 & 1/2 MONTHS SAVINGS. WE ARE FACED WITH AN OVER ALL EUDGET REDUCTION OF APPROXIMATELY $20 MILLION FROM A CURRENT BUDGET OF APPROXIMATELY $52 MILLION. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS WE HAVE MADE CUTS IN ALL AREAS OF THE CCC INCLUDING A 15 to 18% REDUCTION IN HEADQUARTERS STAFFING, REDUCTIONS IN FIELD MANAGEMENT POSITIONS, REDUCTIONS IN CORPSMEM.BER BENEFITS, CLOSURE OF 7 BASE CENTERS AND THE. TRAINING ACADEMY AND THE REDUCTION OF OUR CORPSMEMBER POPULATION FROM 1746 TO 1090. IN ALL HONESTY, SELECTING A CENTER TO CLOSE IN NOT A CLEAR CUT CHOICE AS IT ONCE WAS. WHEN FACED WITH LESSER CUTS IN THE PAST WE HAVE ADOPTED CRITERIA FOR CENTER CLOSURE WHICH, WHEN .APPLIED YIELDED A CLEAR CHOICE. BUT NOW THAT THESE WEAK CENTERS HAVE BEEN CLOSED NEARLY ALL THE REMAINING CENTERS ARE. MORE NEARLY EQUAL AND HAVE STRENGTHS TO OFFSET THE WEAKNESS, OUR CHOICES WERE BASED MORE ON THE PAST RECORD OF REVENUE GENERATION C-8-10 JUL— 2-92 THU 3 :51 r^C Hos EXECUTIVE 1 F P. 05 AND ON GEOGRAPHIC COVERAGE OF THE STATE, THE CHOICES ARE NOT EASY ONES. HAVING SAID ALL THAT WHICH IS PURE AND UNADULTERATED GLOOM, I WOULD LIKE TO END ON A MORE POSITIVE AND OPTIMISTIC NOTE, IMMEDIATELY AFTER ANNOUNCING THE CENTERS FOR CLOSURE, LOCAL SUPPORT BEGAN TO FORM IN ALMOST ALL AREAS. I BEGAN TO GET INQUIRIES AS TO "WHAT WOULD IT TAKE IN THE WAY OF LOCAL FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS TO . KEEP SOME LEVEL OF CCC OPERATION HERE UNTIL THINGS GET BETTER?". IN RESPONSE, I PREPARED A CONCEPT PAPER THAT PROPOSED A STRUCTURE AND BUDGET WHICH, IF WORK CONTRACTS COULD BE COMMITTED, WE WOULD AUGMENT IN ORDER TO SAVE THE FACILITY AND MAINTAIN A PRESENCE IN A GIVEN AREA, SEVERAL COMMUNITIES ARE ACTIVELY PURSUING THIS STRATEGY. OF EVEN GREATER SIGNIFICANCE, IF YOU ARE WILLING TO BE OPTIMISTIC IN THIS OTHERWISE GLOOMY BUDGET SCENARIO, IS SOMETHING THAT OCCURRED IN THE LAST FEW DAYS. THE CCC WAS REQUESTED A FEW DAYS AGO TO PREPARE AN ALTERNATIVE BUDGET WITH A 40% RATHER THAN A 50% REDUCTION WHICH, I SPECULATE WITH SOME CONFIDENCE, MAY BE- INCORPORATED INTO THE GOVERNORS REVISED STATE BUDGET HE IS SUBMITTING TO THE LEGISLATIVE LEADERSHIP. C�'lI JUL-_ 2-92 THU 3 :51 C HQs EXECUTIVE P. 96 IF IN FACT OUR CUT IS REDUCED TO THIS LEVEL WE WILL SERIOUSLY CONSIDER PROVIDING A GREATER SUBSIDY TO EACH OF THE CENTERS PROPOSED FOR CLOSURE WHERE A HIGH LEVEL OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT IS EVIDENT. THIS WOULD BE IN LIEU OF REOPENING ONE CENTER, IF IN FACT, THIS LESSER CUT IS ADOPTED WE CERTAINLY WOULD BE IN A POSITION TO WORK WITH YOU TO SAVE JOBS FOR YOUTH, SAVE THE FACILITIES FOR FUTURE REESTABLISHMENT OF A BASE CENTER, SAVE SOME OF THE JOBS FOR STAFF THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE DISPLACED AND CONTRIBUTE WORKERS FOR LOCAL PROJECTS AND $S TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY, I AM MOST ANXIOUS TO HERE WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING LOCALLY AND WHAT YOU HAVE TO SUGGEST.

The gravity of such a monumental budget crises dictates that cuts are inevitable in all programs, even successful ones such as the California Conservation Corps (CCC) . However, realizing the importance of the CCC and all that it offers the many young men and women who participate in it, the question remains, what can we do which will be constructive when these cuts are implemented? Your attendance at the recent meeting I hosted with CCC Director Dick Bernheimer indicates that you are committed to efforts which will answer the above question. As a result, Supervisor Ruth Brackett and I are inviting you to participate on the task force designed to develop shared-cost methods of off-setting the proposed cuts. Our next meeting is scheduled for Friday, July 31 , 1992, at the Embassy Suites .Hotel in San Luis Obispo. The meeting will be from 12 :00 to 2 : 00 and lunch will be served. It is hoped that this notice is early enough to give local organizations and governments the proper time to put together their firm commitments to utilize the CCC through the coming year. I am sure this meeting will be productive in providing Mr. Bernheimer with the necessary local-dollar threshold to prevent our CCC camp from closing altogether. Please contact Vicki Fisher in Supervisor Ruth Brackett's office at (805) 549-5457 if you are planning on attending this important meeting.

Of this total, an estimated $45,700 will go to the CCC in support of labor costs. This letter and the attached list of projects serves as the City's formal commitment to use CCC services for these projects during 1992-93. On behalf of the City Council, I would like to thank you for your efforts to keep the CCC Center at Camp San Luis open and operating. Over the last 16 years we here in San Luis Obispo have benefitted greatly from the cost-effective service provided by the CCC. During that time we have watched with gratification as CCC training and labor have transformed young men and women into confident, productive, hardworking adults. We hope the City's commitment helps the CCC survive, because it is certainly a .worthy organization that has been of great benefit to San Luis Obispo over the years.
