LAO Capital Outlay, Infrastructure
In this analysis, we assess for each segment of postsecondary
education: (1) long-range enrollment plans, (2) the potential need for new campuses, and (3) how each segment's five-year capital outlay plan addresses needs associated with enrollment growth.

 State Infrastructure
 

Format:
PDF

February 1, 1990 - 
 The state is faced with a large and growing need to revitalize and expand its infrastructure. Although the state does not have a comprehensive plan to identify its specific capital outlay requirements and associated costs, it is clear that the state's infrastructure needs are in the tens of billions of dollars. To better identify these requirements, establish priorities and develop an appropriate financing plan for this infrastructure, the state needs a comprehensive multi-year capital outlay plan. Until such a plan is available, however, we suggest the Legislative establish criteria to assess specific capital outlay proposals. We also believe the Legislature should establish standards for maintenance of state facilities and set as a high priority goal the elimination of deferred maintenance.

 Bonds and the 1990 Ballots
 

Format:
PDF

January 1, 1990 - 
 One of the more significant issues facing the Legislature during the next several months will be to decide what bond measures it should place on the June and November statewide ballots for voter approval. This decision is important because bonds are the principal means by which the state's infrastructure needs are currently being financed, and a large and growing inventory of unmet infrastructure needs exists. How
well the state's infrastructure needs are addressed will be a principal determinant of the future health of the state's economy and the quality of life for many Californians in the years to come.

The 2024-25 Budget: California State University
Doing so would likely increase future costs, as the foregone projects likely will turn into more expensive facility projects (including emergency repairs) in the long run. Nonetheless, were the state budget condition to deteriorate significantly in the coming months, then the Legislature might need to consider pulling back even these funds. 
Debt‑Financed Capital Projects
In this section, we provide an update on various CSU capital projects for which the state provided ongoing General Fund beginning in 2023‑24, raise a couple of implementation concerns, and provide a few associated recommendations.
Update
Last Year, State Converted Some Capital Projects From Cash to Debt Financing. In 2021‑22 and 2022‑22, at the height of its budget surpluses, the state provided one‑time General Fund for many new capital projects. In 2023‑24, facing a moderate budget deficit, the state converted some of those projects from cash funding to debt financing. For CSU specifically, the state reverted $1 billion in one‑time General Fund associated with a total of 16 capital projects. Instead of receiving cash for these projects, CSU was to debt finance them using university bonds. In 2023‑24, the state also approved 5 new projects totaling $209 million in costs that CSU would also debt finance using university bonds. The state appropriated $100 million ongoing General Fund for CSU to support the debt service associated with the 21 projects altogether. 
CSU Issued Bonds While Many of These Projects Were Still in Early Phases. In summer 2023, CSU issued a total of $662 million in bonds for the projects approved for debt financing in 2023‑24. These bonds are to cover some or all of the costs associated with 18 of the 21 projects. (CSU intends to issue additional bonds in summer 2024 to cover any remaining costs for these projects as well as the costs of the other three projects.) Whereas CSU typically issues bonds as projects are beginning the construction phase, it chose to instead issue bonds for these projects while many of them were still in earlier stages. CSU indicates it took this approach because some campuses had already begun to spend the cash they had initially received for these projects on planning and design costs, and they were awaiting bond proceeds to cover those costs after the state reverted the cash.
Sinkyone Wilderness State Park
To keep up to date on events happening in north coast parks, visit the North Coast Redwoods Facebook and Instagram pages.
Sinkyone Wilderness State Park lies on the southern portion of the Lost Coast, a 60-mile stretch of wilderness comprising the park and the King Range National Conservation Area.For thousands of years before the first Europeans arrived, the Sinkyone Indians lived on this part of the coast. They occupied permanent villages beside streams and rivers, and moved out in family groups to hunt and forage in the hills during the summer. They fished, gathered seaweed and shellfish, hunted seals and sea lions, and harvested the occasional dead whale washed on shore. All kinds of fish were caught, but the seasonal salmon run was especially important.
Today, the Lost Coast Trail follows the whole length of the rugged Sinkyone coastline. Gray whales pass by during the winter and early spring. Roosevelt elk roam the grasslands. Sea lions and harbor seals hang out in rocky coves. It’s an arresting landscape, with canyons, arches, tide pools, sea stacks, seasonal wildflowers, waterfalls, and dark sand beaches. On a sunny day, the sea looks turquoise, giving the park tropical feeling.Some aspects of the Sinkyone keep crowds away. Its trails are steep and its campgrounds are primitive. There’s no potable water, and you have to haul out your own trash. When wet, the park’s twisting dirt roads are impassable for passenger cars. More than a few visitors have had to stay an extra day or two because a mudslide or fallen tree closed their route home. “The Sinkyone lets you go when it wants to let you go,” a park ranger says. In other words, it’s a real wilderness.

Membership of the Roundtable consists of local elected officials and staff, representatives of congressional offices, members of recognized community groups, the FAA, the airlines and LAWA. This forum provides a mechanism to identify and address noise concerns by recommending courses of action to LAWA, the FAA, or other responsible entity that could reduce noise over affected communities.               LAWA provides a public forum to express concerns about airport operations at Community Noise Roundtable meetings that are held at the airport on a bimonthly basis.

2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
As such, this road is much sought after and is immediately adjacent to the Town of Mammoth Lakes, making it even more accessible than perhaps some of the more obscure areas of the forest. With that said, the road should maintain its character of a rough dirt road, meaning it should still be difficult and not passable by all vehicles. Multi-Use Benefits • Any improvements to Laurel Lakes Road would benefit multiple user groups. This differs from perhaps some other roads/road work that do not lead to destinations and are only used by OHV enthusiasts. Laurel lakes is enjoyed by campers, OHV users, fisher-people, hikers, leafpeepers, horseback riders, and wilderness users who use Laurel as a jumping off point into Convict Canyon. OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE MAMMOTH TRAILS COMMITTEE • Development of new USFS OHV Campgrounds to accommodate rising use, especially considering Upper & Lower Dead man Campgrounds are no longer opened by the Forest. These free campgrounds are an outstanding amenity, as many (if not most) of these campers would be dispersed camping without this option. Similarly, the BLM should develop OHV campgrounds in the Long Valley Area, in and around the hot springs and adjacent high use dirt roads. • Restoration of Existing dispersed camping sites in and around what the Inyo National Forest classifies as the Recreation Restriction Area Boundary. Wildfire is one of the greatest threats to the vitality of Eastern Sierra communities and mitigating those risks aligns with Forest Service and BLM national policies related to wildfire mitigation. • Continued signing of illegal dispersed camping sites to prevent continued use. • Expansion of motorized single-track system. Currently, the Mammoth Ranger District contains 12.2 miles of Motorized single-track. Similarly, increase the connectivity between the limited motorized single-track opportunities that do exist. E-Bikes are considered (at this time) motorized equipment and the proliferation of these modes of transportation on the landscape was not something that was envisioned when the Motorized Single-Track trail system was created. As such, Town Council specifically recommends the Inyo National Forest re-boot the Town of Mammoth Lakes Shady Rest- Inyo Craters proposal (SRIC) which seeks to address the dearth of opportunities in and around the Mammoth Ranger District.

The Inyo has spent many consecutive years performing general restoration, using these grants to fund staff, general road maintenance, and enforcement. It has been decades since any new motorized singletrack was built on the Mammoth Ranger District. Meanwhile, the Town of Mammoth Lakes alone receives an estimated 2.8 million visitors annually, with 1.5 of those visitors in the summer months. Motorized recreation, like all forms of recreation, is on the rise and becoming a larger piece of the state's GDP.
