RECEIVE update on state legislative activities and RECOMMEND the Board adopt positions on legislation.

Staff will present a legislative update and a bill list for consideration and recommendation to the Board.

Some of the bills on the draft list would have funding impacts on the agency if enacted.

Attachment 1 is a summary of the Governor's May Revision to his Proposed FY 2019-20 State Budget from Agency legislative analyst Gus Khouri. Online as a web attachment is a news release from the League of California Cities on that subject. The Governor's Budget continues to tie housing goals to Senate Bill 1 (SB1) transportation funding, despite opposition from many legislators and constituents due to the promises made to voters with the passage of Proposition 69 in June 2018, which requires certain tax and fee revenue related to transportation be used for transportation purposes, and the failure of Proposition 6 in November 2018, which would have repealed SB1.

Attachment 2 is an updated bill list. Changes to the list compared to the TAMC Board meeting of April 24 are indicated in cross-out and underline. Bills that did not pass out of their Appropriations Committee are likely dead, but could be brought back in January; some bills were identified as being "two-year bills", which also means that they can be brought back for further consideration in January, but are not moving forward this year. New support/oppose/concern recommendations are as follows:

• Assembly Constitutional Amendment 1 (Aguilar-Curry): Affordable Housing and Public Infrastructure Bond: Voter Threshold: per discussion at the April Board meeting, staff recommends support.
• Senate Bill 277 (Beall): Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program: Guidelines: although it has not yet been amended to do so, Senator Beall has stated his intention is to amend this bill to change the Local Partnership Program from a 50% formula and 50% competitive program to a 95% formula and 5% competitive program. TAMC would be at a disadvantage under this new proposed allocation as Monterey County brings in far less in sales tax funds than do more populous areas. Staff recommends TAMC express concern about this proposal.
• Governor's proposed budget trailer bill: The Governor’s May Revise Budget continues to include a proposal to withhold local streets and roads funding from jurisdictions that fail to comply with housing production goals, entitlements and zoning for increased affordable housing. Staff recommends expressing concern to the Governor's office.

Staff will present a verbal update at the meeting.
