2001 Budget Analysis: Utilities Costs (9911)

Legislative Analyst's Office
Analysis of the 2001-02 Budget Bill

Utilities Costs (9911) 
Increased Department Costs for Natural Gas and Electricity 
We withhold recommendation on the $50 million proposal ($25 million General Fund and $12.5 million each from special funds and nongovernmental cost funds) to fund
departments' increased natural gas and electricity costs, pending receipt and review of documentation justifying the requested amount. Further, we recommend that the
Legislature approve any funding on a one-time basis, instead of annually as requested, and delete proposed budget bill language that would authorize the Department of
Finance to augment the $50 million. 
The Governor's budget proposes $50 million ($25 million General Fund and $12.5 million each from special funds and nongovernmental cost funds) annually to fund higher costs departments
face for various utility expenses such as natural gas and electricity. Proposed budget bill language specifies that with 30 day advance written notification to the Legislature, the Department of
Finance (DOF) can (1) allocate funds to state departments and (2) augment the $50 million appropriated in these items.
In view of the current situation concerning the price of natural gas and electricity, a set-aside of funds for increases in the price of these expenses may be warranted. The administration,
however, has not provided any supporting documents to justify the amounts proposed. Further, given the uncertain circumstances surrounding these utility costs when this analysis was written,
we withhold recommendation on the $50 million proposal. The Legislature should have more information on the need for this item and an appropriate amount during the budget process.
In any case, however, we recommend that the Legislature delete the proposed budget language that would allow DOF to augment the $50 million. We are not aware of any need to grant the
department such open-ended authority.

The California Conservation Corps | California Conservation Corps
Our motto is ‘Hard Work, Low Pay, Miserable Conditions and More!’  We are dedicated to developing our Corpsmembers into citizens with character, credentials, and commitment.

 

Governor Jerry Brown established the CCC in 1976, modeled after the original Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s. More than 120,000 young adults have served in the Corps over its 40+ year history.
The Corpsmembers

1,634 Corpsmember positions are available
Approximately 3,000 Corpsmembers enroll each year
Corpsmembers must be between the ages of 18 and 25 and California residents
Military veterans up to age 29 may also enroll
At the present time, the CCC is about 76% men, 24% women
Corpsmembers come from all over the state and reflect the diversity of California. The top three counties where Corpsmembers come from: San Diego, Los Angeles and San Bernardino
The average length of stay is about nine months

Locations

The CCC has two dozen residential and non-residential locations throughout the state
It is the only state program with year-round residential centers

Natural Resource Work

Since 1976, the CCC has provided 74.1 million hours of natural resource work throughout the state
The CCC is a cost-effective labor force, working for more than 250 local, state and federal agencies each year
Statewide, crews tackle more than 900 projects annually, generating more than $26 million for the CCC

Here are a few accomplishments since the program began:

Trees — More than 24.6 million trees have been planted by Corpsmembers throughout the state
Fish Habitat — More than 1.6 million hours of fish habitat improvement work
Trails — More than 11,621 miles of backcountry trails built or maintained in California national parks and forests, with many more miles for trails in city, regional and state parks
Parks — More than 11 million hours of work improving rural and urban parks and recreation areas
Energy Conservation — More than three decades of energy conservation work. The CCC likes to say “Conservation is our middle name”

Emergency Response

The CCC has provided 11.3 million hours of emergency response on nearly every major California natural disaster — floods, fires, earthquakes and more — since 1976
NASA's Boeing Crew Flight Test -
NASA Flight Engineer Jeanette Epps assisted Dyson at the end of the day finalizing cleanup activities in Tranquility after the advanced orbital plumbing work was complete. Epps began her shift in the Kibo laboratory module replacing obsolete gas bottles with new types of gas bottles in the Common Gas Supply Equipment rack. The gas supply hardware supplies gases including argon, helium, and carbon dioxide fueling research racks and their experiments inside Kibo.
Working in the orbiting lab’s Roscosmos segment, Commander Oleg Kononenko checked Soyuz communication systems, inspected video equipment, and cleaned vents on broadband hardware. Flight Engineer Nikolai Chub worked on a 3D printing experiment testing the device’s controller and software while printing an object. Chub also stowed trash and obsolete gear inside the Progress 86 resupply ship that is due to undock at the end of the month. Flight Engineer Alexander Grebenkin spent his day checking smoke detectors in the Nauka science module.
On the ground at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, preparations continue ahead of the agency’s Boeing Crew Flight Test launch to the microgravity laboratory. NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, still in quarantine ahead of the flight test, will return to Houston this weekend as work progresses on a valve replacement on the United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket Centaur upper stage. Crew will return to NASA Kennedy prior to the next launch opportunity, which is targeted for no earlier than 6:16 p.m. EDT on Friday, May 17, from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
Wilmore and Williams are the first to launch aboard Boeing’s Starliner to the space station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. The astronauts will spend about a week at the orbiting laboratory before returning to Earth and making a parachute and airbag-assisted landing in the southwestern United States.
After successful completion of the mission, NASA will finalize certification of Starliner and its systems for crewed rotation missions to the space station. The Starliner capsule, with a diameter of 15 feet (4.56 meters) and the capability to steer automatically or manually, will carry four astronauts, or a mix of crew and cargo, for NASA missions to low Earth orbit.

A New Reservoir in Cambodia
Water levels began to rise in September 2017, when the dam’s floodgates were closed. In November 2017, the first turbine began to generate power. By October 2018, all eight turbines are expected to be operating.
The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on the Landsat 8 satellite captured these before and after natural-color images of the dam and reservoir. They were built near the confluence of the Sesan River (Tonlé San in Cambodian) and Srepok River, both tributaries of the Mekong River. The first image was acquired on February 14, 2017; the second one shows the same area on February 1, 2018. The brown and light green areas in the first image, particularly those with straight edges, were likely cleared recently for timber; some of the smaller tan areas were crop fields near villages. Densely forested areas are green.
In a country where only 50 percent of rural communities have access to the electrical grid, the boost in generating capacity will help with a government-led effort to bring electricity to all Cambodians by 2022. The project is also expected to reduce the cost of electricity.
However, the dam and its 75 square-kilometer (29 square-mile) reservoir will also have significant impacts on communities near the river. Though some communities have resisted moving, rising waters have forced thousands of people to leave their villages. Scientists have cautioned that the Mekong Basin could see a 9 percent drop in the availability of fish.
The dam is likely a harbinger of things to come. Plans are ongoing to add several more dams along the Mekong River and its tributaries, including two on the Mekong River that would dwarf this one. The Stung Treng dam would generate 900 megawatts and the Sambor Dam would generate 2,600 megawatts.

People from several villages had to relocate to make way for a new dam that will give the country’s supply of electricity a boost.

2007-67 and this notice, apply to a plan amendment that replaces a plan reference to the pre-PPA ’06 applicable mortality table and/or pre-PPA ’06 applicable interest rate with a reference to the post-PPA ’06 applicable mortality table and/or post-PPA ’06 applicable interest rate, without regard to whether § 302 of PPA ’06 requires such amendment? A-18. The relief under § 1107 of PPA ’06, as described in Rev. Rul. 2007-67 and this notice, applies to an amendment to a plan that is subject to § 401(a)(11) and that replaces a plan reference to the pre-PPA ’06 applicable mortality table and/or pre-PPA ’06 applicable interest rate with a reference to the post-PPA ’06 applicable mortality table and/or post-PPA ’06 applicable interest rate, without regard to whether § 302 of PPA ’06 requires such amendment. For example, if a plan calculates the amount of an optional form of benefit that is not subject to the minimum present value requirements of § 417(e)(3) by reference to the pre-PPA ’06 applicable mortality table and/or pre-PPA ’06 applicable interest rate and the plan is amended, pursuant to an amendment adopted during the period established in § 1107(b)(2)(A) of PPA ’06, so that it calculates the amount of the optional form of benefit by reference to the post-PPA ’06 applicable mortality table and/or post-PPA ’06 applicable interest rate, the plan will not fail to satisfy the requirements of § 411(d)(6) by reason of the amendment.
