The 2024-25 Budget: CalFire—Implementation of a 66-Hour Workweek
For example, CalFire reports that it currently has three times more applicants for entry‑level Fire Fighter Is than available positions, suggesting that health and wellness concerns are not dissuading people from pursuing this profession.

Most Cost‑Effective Way to Address These Firefighter Wellness Concerns Is Unclear. Given the lack of clarity around the strains affecting firefighters and the best ways to address them, the Legislature could consider alternatives besides changing the workweek. For example, the Legislature could expand the existing health and wellness programs at CalFire to ensure that firefighters have access to robust support for mental and physical health concerns. Other changes the Legislature could explore include implementing policies that prohibit firefighters from working more than a certain number of days in a row (potentially paired with expansions in the use of mutual aid with partner agencies to offset potential losses in fire response capacity) or decrease the number of hours worked in the offseason (such as through reducing or eliminating planned offseason overtime, as was done prior to a change that occurred in 2006‑07). Additionally, the Legislature could consider using some of the funding that would be required to implement the 66‑hour workweek change to instead support efforts to improve conditions in the state’s forests. Such investments potentially could provide long‑term benefits to firefighters—as well as to the environment and surrounding communities—by reducing the likelihood of the severe wildfires that create the most significant strains on firefighters. Each of these actions would involve trade‑offs, but they remain available options for the Legislature to explore if desired.
Other Ways to Implement a 66‑Hour Workweek. The administration indicates that it does not believe any other viable approaches to reducing the workweek exist apart from the one it presents in its proposal. However, if the Legislature wants to move forward with implementing a 66‑hour workweek in accordance with the MOU, we have identified a number of other approaches for doing so—although none is without trade‑offs. For example, the Legislature could consider:

Reducing Relief Staffing. The Legislature could consider reducing the workweek at least in part by dropping the engine staffing factor back to 2.33 (the level prior to the changes approved in 2020‑21 and 2022‑23).

Making Maps Accessible in PDF Documents

Transcript:
>> So let’s go ahead and proceed to our next presentation, Making Maps Accessible in PDF Documents. Please join me in welcoming Rob Haverty, who serves as the Senior Product Manager for Adobe. He’s been here the last couple of times, past couple of years to provide a presentation, so looking forward to this one. Welcome, Rob.>> Thank you, Sid.>> [APPLAUSE]>> Thank you all very much. As Sid mentioned, I’m from Adobe, and I am a Senior Product Manager for our Document Cloud Accessibility. So to kind of unpack that a little bit - because that’s just a bunch of kind of nonsense words - my job is to make sure that our products like Acrobat and Adobe Sign, and I work on InDesign also, are as accessible as possible.
Documentary Series: JPL and the Space Age
But would it work?Hubble was not the only space misadventure getting JPL’s attention during the 1990s. The Magellan spacecraft, nicknamed “Salvage 1” for its reliance on spare parts, barely survived its arrival at Venus. Galileo, destined for Jupiter and at the time the world’s most sophisticated spacecraft, barely skirted mission failure when its main communications antenna refused to unfurl.And Mars Observer, the first mission to the Red Planet in nearly two decades, would mysteriously disappear just before going into orbit. To the Rescue explores all of these iconic examples of the tireless effort and indomitable ingenuity of JPL engineers as they attempt to rescue the machines they had lofted into the heavens.View episode ›Episode 8: The PathfindersIt started with JPL agreeing to land something on Mars — cheaply — and do it in a radically different way. This is how the era NASA called “Faster, Better, Cheaper” began. The documentary film “The Pathfinders” tells the story of a small group of engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory who did not heed warnings that the audacious challenge of landing on Mars with airbags would likely not be a career-enhancing move. With a parachute that could not be tested in a way to match the Martian atmosphere, to the late addition of an unwanted rover that would not have looked out of place in a toy store, the Mars Pathfinder mission was a doubter’s dream, taken on by a mostly young group of engineers and scientists, who were guided by a grizzled manager known for his maverick ways. The Pathfinders retraces the journey of this daring mission to Mars that captured the hearts and minds of people around the world with its dramatic landing and its tiny rover — the first wheels ever to roll on Mars.View episode ›Episode 9: The Breaking PointThe Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s success in landing the low-cost Mars Pathfinder mission in 1997 was viewed as proof that spacecraft could be built more often and for far less money — a radical cultural change NASA termed “Faster, Better, Cheaper.” The “Faster, Better, Cheaper” era also coincided with the discovery of a Mars rock that hinted at the possibility of microbial life elsewhere in the solar system.
Increasing Transparency of County Office of Education Spending 
The summary must also specify how much of the COE’s total LCFF funding is projected to be from supplemental and concentration grants, and provide estimates of current‑year expenditures to increase or improve services for ELs, low‑income students, and foster youth. Beginning in 2024‑25, the overview must contain plans on how funding from the Student Support and Enrichment Block Grant will be spent. In addition, the overview must contain a brief description of the activities or programs supported by general fund expenditures that are not included in the LCAP. 
CDE Must Review and Approve a COE’s LCAP. Each COE must submit its LCAP to CDE for review. (School districts submit their LCAPs to COEs and charter schools submit their LCAPs to their authorizing school district or COE.) The department must approve a COE’s LCAP if it determines that (1) the LCAP adheres to the required template, (2) the COE’s budgeted expenditures are sufficient to implement the strategies outlined in the LCAP, and (3) the LCAP adheres to the expenditure requirements for supplemental and concentration funding. As part of its review, the department can then seek clarification from the COE about the contents of its LCAP. If the department seeks such clarification, the COE must respond in writing. Based on a COE’s response, the department can submit recommendations for amendments to the LCAP back to the COE. The COE must consider any of the department’s recommendations at a public hearing, but the COE is not required to make changes to its plan. The annual deadline for approval or rejection of a COE’s LCAP by the department is October 8. 
Other Reporting
Required Plan for Supporting School Districts in Continuous Improvement. Chapter 32 established a requirement for county superintendents to prepare a summary of how the COE plans to assist all school districts within the county. The plan describes actions the COE will take in approving all LCAPs. The plan also describes actions the COE will take to provide assistance to school districts identified for differentiated assistance and how it will support other districts in moving further ahead in their LCAP goals. COEs are also to report goals and an expenditure plan for providing this assistance.

It occupied the rear portion of the building while the remainder of the offices continued to house research and facilities personnel. In 1967, the center renamed the building the Library Services Building, but it still housed most of the Airbreathing Engines Division and the PSL Operations Branch. This arrangement continued until 2008 when the library and aeronautics staffs relocated so that the building could be remodeled.

Corpsmember Orientation | California Conservation Corps
The training lasts between one and two weeks, depending on the location. Corpsmembers must pass a physical exam during COMET to ensure that they can perform essential functions. All individuals must also pass a drug test, as the CCC maintains a drug-free environment to reduce the potential for work-site accidents.
During COMET, Corpsmembers learn about:

CCC policies, including sexual harassment prevention and other Equal Employment Opportunity-related topics.
Basic safety and training topics such as proper tool use, roadside safety, first aid and CPR, and injury and illness prevention.
A range of life skills, including physical fitness, goal setting, and conflict resolution.

COMET is paid for those Corpsmembers who complete their first pay period in the CCC. If a Corpsmember leaves the program before reaching this milestone, COMET will be unpaid and the stipend will be prorated.

2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
I request that you add more labor funding to increase patrols at Samoa Dunes OHV area. Victoria Callahan - 5/2/2024

 BLM - Barstow Field Office

I ask that you increase your request for labor funds to help cover all eleven law enforcement positions mentioned in the project narrative. Thank you. Justin Melchor - 3/29/2024

BLM Barstow manages a large off-highway motor vehicle recreation area, known as the Western Mojave Route Network Project (WMRNP). Based on Friends of Jawbone maps (e.g., the Jawbone Canyon & BLM Ridgecrest Area map and the BLM Barstow, Big Bear, and Johnson Valley map) there are approximately 420 sections of private property that have at least one BLM-designated route; many sections of private property have more than one route. My comments focus on issues related to the use of private property for off-highway motor vehicle recreation. My first comment on the General Application Requirements document submitted by Barstow BLM is on point 7(b), "Prevention of OHV trespass." The application states that "The majority of OHV Opportunity area are patrolled at least 5 days per week." My own experience tells me that this is incorrect. I have probably spent more time in the area around Cuddeback Lake and Fremont Peak in the past 8 years than any other person. I saw SB County sheriff's deputies in the area in 2016 and again on March 30, 2018. I called the SB County sheriff's office regarding a break-in on my property and Deputy Keith came to my property on April 18, 2020 in response to my call. Those are the 3 times that I have seen deputies on or in the vicinity of my property in 8 years. I also encountered and spoke to BLM Ranger Melissa Brown on June 15, 2022 while she was patrolling along the boundary between the Ridgecrest and Barstow Field Office Districts on Butterfly Hill Road, about 4 miles from my property. I have never seen a BLM ranger from the Barstow Field Office in the vicinity of my property.
