Bill Text - SB-375 Transportation planning: travel demand models: sustainable communities strategy: environmental review.
(a) For the fourth and subsequent revision of the housing element pursuant to Section 65588, the department, in consultation with each council of governments, where applicable, shall determine the existing and projected need for housing for each region in the following manner:(b) The department’s determination shall be based upon population projections produced by the Department of Finance and regional population forecasts used in preparing regional transportation plans, in consultation with each council of governments. If the total regional population forecast for the planning period, developed by the council of governments and used for the preparation of the regional transportation plan, is within a range of 3 percent
	 of the total regional population forecast for the planning period over the same time period by the Department of Finance, then the population forecast developed by the council of governments shall be the basis from which the department determines the existing and projected need for housing in the region. If the difference between the total population growth projected by the council of governments and the total population growth projected for the region by the Department of Finance is greater than 3 percent, then the department and the council of governments shall meet to discuss variances in methodology used for population projections and seek agreement on a population projection for the region to be used as a basis for determining the existing and projected housing need for the region. If no agreement is reached, then the population projection for the region shall be the population projection for the region prepared by the Department of Finance as may be modified by the department as a result of discussions
	 with the council of governments.(c) (1) At least 26 months prior to the scheduled revision pursuant to Section 65588 and prior to developing the existing and projected housing need for a region, the department shall meet and consult with the council of governments regarding the assumptions and methodology to be used by the department to determine the region’s housing needs. The council of governments shall provide data assumptions from the council’s projections, including, if available, the following data for the region:(A) Anticipated household growth associated with projected population increases.(B) Household size data and trends in household size.(C) The rate of household formation, or headship rates, based on age, gender,

Frequently Asked Questions :: California Secretary of State
If you are not sure your vote-by-mail ballot will arrive in time if mailed, take it to your county elections office on or before Election Day or to any polling place in your county between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.
How do I turn in my vote-by-mail ballot on Election Day?
You may return it in person to any polling place in your county or to your county elections office on Election Day. If you are unable to return the ballot yourself, you may designate any person to return the ballot to the elections official or the precinct board at any polling place within the jurisdiction. The ballot must be received by the elections official or the precinct board before the close of the polls at 8:00 p.m. on Election Day in order to be counted.
What is the Voter's Choice Act?
The California Voter’s Choice Act is a new law (PDF) passed in 2016 that modernizes elections in California by allowing counties to conduct elections under a new model which provides greater flexibility and convenience for voters.
This election model allows voters to choose how, when, and where to cast their ballot by:

Mailing every voter a ballot
Expanding in-person early voting
Allowing voters to cast a ballot at any vote center within their county

Where is my polling place?
Your polling place will be printed on the county voter information guide you receive from your county elections official prior to an election. You may also contact your local county elections office for polling place information. If you live in a county that is conducting elections under the California Voter's Choice Act, please visit that web page for more information.
What hours are polling place locations open?
All polling place locations are open on Election Day from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. If you live in a county that is conducting elections under the California Voter's Choice Act, please visit that web page for more information.
Why was my precinct/polling place changed?
Counties try to use the same polling place for each election, so your polling place normally does not change between the primary and the general elections.
2001 Budget Analysis: Health and Human Services Agency Data Center (4130)
The budget proposes to increase HHSDC's expenditure authority by $7.6 million to replace the servers supporting the CWS/CMS
system. The proposal would replace 432 servers and upgrade the server operating systems by July 2002.
Server Replacement Project Does Not Have a Risk Mitigation Plan. State policy requires that every automation project
complete a risk mitigation plan that considers (1) the potential business disruptions that could occur while implementing the project
and (2) the actions the state will take to reduce or "mitigate" those risks. For example, a server replacement project could cause a
business disruption when a server is replaced and, for unknown technical reasons, cause case workers to be unable to access case
files. With a risk mitigation plan, the state and the counties would predetermine (1) what to do to prevent such a disruption and (2)
what to do should the disruption actually take place. To our knowledge, the HHSDC did not complete a risk mitigation plan for
this proposal.
Analyst's Recommendation. For this reason, we recommend that the Legislature direct HHSDC to complete a risk mitigation
plan prior to replacing the CWS/CMS servers. The plan should specify (1) the potential business disruptions that could happen
while replacing the CWS/CMS servers and (2) the actions that HHSDC, the Department of Social Services, and the counties will
take to minimize those disruptions. The plan shall be adopted prior to an increase in HHSDC's expenditure authority for
CWS/CMS's server replacement. The following budget bill language is consistent with this recommendation.
Upon notification by the Department of Information Technology of its approval of a risk mitigation plan for Child Welfare
Systems/Case Management System Server Replacement Project, the Department of Finance may authorize no sooner than 30 days
after providing notification to the Chair of the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the chairs of the fiscal committees of both
houses an expenditure authority increase of $7,600,000 to Item 4130-001-0632.

Mars Audio Log #10 - NASA
Just things that we are learning from these analogs actually being applied to future human missions to Mars.
Lauren Blackwell Landon: Oh, absolutely., I mean, the whole point of this is to take lessons learned from this series of three missions. So we have three missions plans. This is just our first and we’re going to take all the lessons learned from these three different crews that are in there for a whole year, and then we’re going to do something with that knowledge. So it’s very applied research. So there’s a lot of time and energy that we’re using, you know, not just us on the research side, but we’re taking the crews away from their families and friends for an entire year. So we certainly want to make it worth their while. And one day, we’re going to use this to inform all the habitat design for our future Mars mission. So what they’re doing will lead us to Mars someday. So stay tuned. We have many papers to write over the next few years.
Host: I’m excited that you are excited about all of the research that you’re getting. A lot to learn and a lot to look forward to. Lauren Blackwell Landon, thank you so much for coming on Houston We Have a Podcast today. This was so much fun.
Lauren Blackwell Landon: Thank you.
[Music]
Host: Alright, that’s it for Audio Log #10 from Dune Alpha. Thanks for sticking around. I hope you’re enjoying the crews journey as much as I am. Again, that was the 10th audio log in our series. Tune in for the final two over the next coming months. Check in at nasa.gov for the latest on what’s happening with the CHAPEA crew and nasa.gov/podcasts to check out our show, as well as the many others that we have across the agency.
