2001 Budget Analysis: Child Care and Development
to determine when a recipient is stable, the time at which families transfer from Stage 1 to 
Stage 2 varies significantly among counties. Some counties authorize the transfer to Stage 2 as soon as possible, while others wait until the family has left
CalWORKs. The variance in county practice contributes to the state's uncertainty in budgeting child care funds for each stage.
Although Stages 1 and 2 are administered by different agencies, families do not need to switch child care providers upon moving to Stage 2. The real difference
in the stages is in who pays the providers. In Stage 2, AP programs, operating under contracts with SDE, do this instead of CWDs.
Stage 3 refers to the broader subsidized child care system administered by SDE that is open to both former CalWORKs families and working poor families who
never have been on CalWORKs. Once CalWORKs recipients leave aid, they have two years of further eligibility in Stage 2. During this time, they are expected
to apply for "regular" Stage 3 child care (in contrast to the Stage 3 "set-aside" child care discussed below). We note, however, that typically there are long
waiting lists for Stage 3 child care since demand from eligible families substantially exceeds available child care "slots." Families with incomes up to
75 percent of the state median are eligible for SDE's other subsidized child care programs, but priority is given to families with the lowest income. Most
available slots therefore go to families with incomes below 50 percent of the state median. (In our Analysis of the 2000-01 Budget Bill, we recommended
enactment of legislation to conduct a pilot test of a Wisconsin-style child care program in up to four counties in California, directed at addressing unmet needs
of working poor families.)
The Legislature created the Stage 3 set-aside in 1997 in order to provide continuing child care for former CalWORKs recipients who reach the end of their
two-year Stage 2 time limit. Recipients timing out of
Stage 2 are potentially eligible for the Stage 3 set-aside if they have been unable to find regular Stage 3 child care. Provided funding is available—and legislative

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) | Placer County, CA
Your taxable value reduction to market value is temporary and the assessor is required to review the market value of the property each lien date after the reduction, until such time as the Factored-Base-Year Value is less than or equal to the market value.Unless there is a change in ownership or new construction, this increase in value cannot exceed the original assessed value plus the annual inflationary factor not to exceed 2% per year.

My land value looks alright, but my structure value looks high. Can I just have my structure value lowered?

No, the total property value must be considered. Only total assessed value can be compared. The lower of total property current market value and total property assessed value is enrolled.

 Disaster Relief

Disaster Relief

My home was damaged by a fire. What do I do? Where do I start?

If your property has been damaged by a calamity, you need to file a disaster relief claim with the county assessor. This will allow your current property taxes to be reduced for that portion of the property damaged or destroyed. This reduction will be from the first of the month in which the damage occurred, and will remain in effect until the property is rebuilt or repaired. Some county assessors have the authority to reduce a property's value for damage without a disaster relief claim. Please check with your county assessor's office to verify whether a claim is required.In addition, if your property has been substantially damaged or destroyed in a Governor-proclaimed disaster and you have either filed a disaster relief claim with the county assessor to reduce your taxes or have been granted disaster relief by the assessor, you may file a claim to postpone the next installment of property taxes that occurs immediately after the disaster. If you file a "property tax deferral claim" with the county assessor before the next property tax installment payment date, that payment will be postponed without penalty or interest until the county assessor has reassessed the property and you receive a corrected tax bill.To qualify for deferral, for property receiving a homeowners' exemption, "substantial disaster damage" means damage amounting to at least 10 percent of its fair market value or $10,000 whichever is less.
The 2024-25 Budget: CalFire—Implementation of a 66-Hour Workweek
These firefighters would work on a year‑round basis even during months when relatively few wildfires occur. In principle, when not fighting fires, these personnel should be available to perform other priority activities, such as thinning forests and conducting prescribed burns to improve the resilience of the state’s forests. Importantly, however, the level of wildfire resilience benefits that ultimately are achieved will depend heavily on the extent to which the additional firefighters actually conduct this wildfire resilience work in practice. 
…And Wildfire Resilience Activities Currently Not Well‑Tracked. CalFire does not systematically track the amount of time its crews spend on wildfire resilience work versus other pursuits, which makes verifying the extent to which firefighters actually spend time on these activities difficult. Moreover, while CalFire currently tracks and reports the overall number of acres treated as a result of activities undertaken by the department, it does not report a break out of how many acres were treated directly by CalFire personnel—either by firefighting crews or by dedicated fuel reduction crews—compared to those treated by partners that receive grants administered by CalFire. Absent such information, determining whether changes in the number of acres treated are a result of additional activities being conducted by firefighters—including personnel added as a result of the 66‑hour workweek proposal—or stem from other state investments (such as the funding provided in recent wildfire resilience packages) will continue to be challenging. Should it fund the workweek change, the Legislature could use it as an opportunity to hold CalFire more accountable for achieving demonstrable wildfire resilience co‑benefits by requiring more detailed reporting on (1) how CalFire firefighters spend their time, including the amount of time spent on wildfire resilience activities, and (2) the number of acres treated by CalFire firefighters. 
Recommendations
Evaluate Whether Adopting New 66‑Hour Workweek Is Affordable at This Time Given Significant General Fund Shortfall. We recommend the Legislature not treat the decision about whether to fund the implementation of a 66‑hour workweek as one that has already been made.

2020 Fire Season Incident Archive | CAL FIRE
The 2020 California wildfire year was characterized by record-setting wildfires that burned across the state of California as measured during the modern era of wildfire management and record keeping. As of the end of the year, nearly 10,000 fires had burned over 4.2 million acres, more than 4% of the state's roughly 100 million acres of land, making 2020 the largest wildfire season recorded in California's modern history. California's August Complex fire has been described as the first "gigafire" as the area burned exceeded 1 million acres. The fire crossed seven counties and has been described as being larger than the state of Rhode Island. On August 19, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom reported that the state was battling 367 known fires, many sparked by intense thunderstorms on August 16–17. In early September 2020, a combination of a record-breaking heat wave, and Diablo and Santa Ana winds sparked more fires and explosively grew the active fires, with the August Complex more than doubling the Mendocino Complex's size to become California's largest recorded wildfire.

The 2024-25 Budget: CalFire—Implementation of a 66-Hour Workweek
For example, the 2018 wildfire season included the Camp Fire in Butte County, which became the single most destructive wildfire in state history with nearly 19,000 structures destroyed and 85 fatalities, including the near‑total destruction of the town of Paradise. A few key factors have contributed to the recent increase in large and destructive wildfires, including climate change, poor forest and land management practices, and increased development in fire‑prone areas. 

While Annual Wildfire Seasons Have Lengthened, Strong Seasonal Pattern Still Exists. Despite recent years having particularly large and destructive wildfires and concerns about wildfires becoming a year‑round phenomenon, the occurrence of wildfires in California continues to have a strongly seasonal pattern—primarily occurring during the summer and fall months when the weather is the driest Figure 2 shows the average number of wildfires by month across the last five years compared to the ten‑year average, along with the number of wildfires by month in the severe 2018 and 2020 wildfire seasons. As the figure shows, wildfire activity is relatively low from December through March and reaches its peak from June through August each year. While generally fewer wildfires occur in the fall (as compared to summer), these fires can be particularly severe because forests are dry after little to no rainfall during the summer, as well as due to other autumn weather conditions such as high winds. 

Increase in Wildfires Has Led to Concerns About State’s Preparedness and Demands on Firefighters. Recent increases in large and severe wildfires have raised concerns about the state’s capacity to adequately respond to these growing threats, particularly when multiple large wildfires occur simultaneously as has happened in recent years. Responding to these large and severe wildfires has imposed significant burdens on firefighters—many of whom have been required to work long stretches without breaks. This, in turn, has led to concerns about the mental and physical health and wellness of the firefighters who are on the frontlines of these events. These issues have been highlighted in the media—such as in a series of articles published in 2022 by CalMatters.
Legislature Has Taken Various Actions to Respond to Concerns. The Legislature has taken a number of actions in response to these growing concerns, including to improve the health and wellness of firefighters.

 State Forest Overview
 

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) operates 14 Demonstration State Forests totaling approximately 85,000 acres. The forests represent the most common forest types in the state. The forests provide research and demonstration opportunities for natural resource management, while providing public recreation opportunities, fish and wildlife habitat, and watershed protection. Common activities on State Forests include: experimental timber harvesting techniques, watershed restoration, mushroom collecting, hunting, firewood gathering, cone collecting for seed, a variety of university research projects, horseback riding, camping, mountain biking, and hiking.
State Forest Overview Map


 Mandated Activities & Statuses
 

The Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (Board) policy provides that the State Forests shall be used for experimentation to determine the economic feasibility of artificial reforestation, and to demonstrate the productive and economic possibilities of good forest practices toward maintaining forest crop land in a productive condition. The management objectives and plans developed for each State Forest are subject to periodic review and approval by the Board.
Statutory: Section 4631 of the Public Resources Code states that it is in the interest of the welfare of the people of this state and their industries and other activities involving the use of wood and other forest products that desirable cutover forest lands be made fully productive and that the holding and reforestation of such lands is a necessary measure. Section 4631.5 provides that the state shall retain the existing land base of state forests in timber production for research and demonstration purposes.
The department, in accordance with plans approved by the board, may engage in the management, protection, and reforestation of state forests (PRC 4645) where "management: means the handling of forest crop and forest soil so as to achieve maximum sustained production of high-quality forest products while giving consideration to values relating to recreation, watershed, wildlife, range and forage, fisheries, and aesthetic enjoyment (4639).


 Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan
 

The Governor’s Wildfire and Forest Resilience Action Plan highlights managed, working forests and timber harvest as an essential tool to restore the wildfire resiliency and carbon sequestration potential of California forests.
