Jonas, Community Development Director by: Jeanette Di Leo, Long Range Planner SUBJECT: Adding San Luis Obispo Projects to Assembly Bill 72 CAO RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Mayor to sign the attached letters which support adding local projects to Governor Wilson's Bond Act (known as AB 72) . DISCUSSION: In April, 1991 the Planning and Conservation League (PCL) filed a bond measure (known as the Forest Bond Act) with the California Attorney General. The measure would have been placed on the June, 1992 California ballot. This initiative, if passed by the voters of California, would have provided $1998 .million for preservation and acquisition of forest areas state-wide. The Act included monies for local agencies; state, coastal, and wildlife grants; and monies for non-profit agencies to acquire sites containing sensitive forest lands. The bond act proposed by PCL included 9. 6 million dollars for projects in San Luis Obispo County, including monies to protect and acquire riparian corridors, the Morros, etc. At the same time PCL was working on their measure, Governor Pete Wilson developed his own bond measure which he also planned to place on the June, 1992 ballot. The Governor' s measure also provided for the preservation and acquisition of sensitive forest and wildlife areas, providing $628 million state-wide for this purpose. The Governor's Act however provided monies to state agencies, providing no monies for local projects. Negotiations have been occurring between the Governor' s Office and PCL since both parties preferred a compromise bond act versus having competing bond measures on the same ballot. As a result of these negotiations, PCL has withdrawn their initiative. PCL's withdrawal was made on the , basis that the Governor would be amenable to adding some local projects to his bond measure beyond the present bond amount of $628 million. The California Legislature is now reviewing- additions to the bond act (known as AB 72) . At this time it is important to let the Legislature know what local projects should be included. Various organizations throughout San Luis Obispo County have been writing letters requesting that local projects that were included in PCL's . bond act be included in AB 72 . Since AB 72 could provide monies both to the County and the City to purchase open space and G ,�d a��1�1►n►ii(�illilllll�11°'°li SII city of san LaIs osIspo NiiiilllD COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Page 2 -- AB 72 sensitive resource areas it was thought that the City Council _ should let the Legislature know of their support for adding $9 . 6 million worth of local projects to AB 72 .

Letter to Assemblywoman Andrea Seastrand Letter to Governor Pete Wilson Letter to the Resource Agency I i i CC.PC1 I �1 D000� July 16, 1991 Senator Ken Maddy 2503 W. Shaw Avenue, #101 Fresno, CA 93711 Dear Senator Maddy: Now that the Planning and Conservation League's proposed California Wildlife, Coastal, Parkland and Forest Conservation Act of 1992 (CALPAW) has been withdrawn, the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo is concerned about the scope of Governor Wilson's proposed wildlife habitat and park funding bond. While the City Council applauds the governor 's efforts in forwarding this $628 million bond act, it clearly does not provide funding for needed local projects. As local projects are added to the original $628 million total, the Council would like to see the following projects, which were a part of Ca1PAW, included for San Luis Obispo County: 1. $4.5 million to acquire portions of the Seven Sisters (the Morros) , 2. $600, 000 to acquire and restore the Santa Margarita Crags, 3 . $1 million to acquire oak woodlands and riparian habitat, 4 . $1 million to acquire forest sites important to Monarch butterflies, 5. $1 million to acquire Monterey Pine habitat in Cambria and riparian habitat along San Luis Obispo Creek, 6. $1. 5 million to acquire the remainder of the Elfin Forest in Baywood Park. The Council appreciates your cooperation in supporting the addition of these local projects to AB 72, carried by Assemblymember Dominic Cortese of San Jose. With these additions I am certain that the bond act will receive wide spread support in San Luis Obispo County. Thank you for your assistance.
