2001 Budget Analysis: Energy Initiatives (3365)

Analysis of the 2001-02 Budget Bill
  

Energy Initiatives (3365) 
General Fund Monies Set Aside For Energy-Related Programs 
We withhold recommendation on the $1 billion General Fund request for energy-related projects pending receipt and review of proposals for allocating these funds. 
The Governor's budget includes a $1 billion General Fund set-aside for energy initiatives to address the state's energy crisis. Proposed budget bill language specifies that (1) the funds are for
"projects awarded by the Governor's Clean Energy Green Team" and (2) allocation of the amount appropriated will be subject to legislation.
Chapter 329, Statutes of 2000 (AB 970, Ducheny), created the Green Team to (1) provide pertinent information (pollution control technology and air emissions offsets, for example) and
assistance (such as acquiring local permits) on request to companies wanting to build power plants. Chapter 329 also requires the Green Team to develop recommendations for low- or
zero-interest financing for renewable energy. The Green Team consists of the following government entities:

State Departments. Heads of the Electricity Oversight Board, Public Utilities Commission, Energy Commission, and Governor's Office of Planning and Research.
State Agencies. Secretaries of Environmental Protection; 
Resources; and Technology, Trade, and Commerce.
Local/Regional. Representatives from air quality management districts.
Federal. Representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency, and Fish and Wildlife Services.

Prior to appropriating funds for energy initiatives, the Legislature should have information on the types of projects that would be funded, how the projects would be selected, and the criteria
projects must meet to qualify for funding. This information, at a minimum, is needed for the Legislature to evaluate the appropriate level of funding and the benefit of undertaking proposed
initiatives. At this time, however, there are no supporting documents for this $1 billion proposal. Pending receipt and review of this information, we withhold recommendation on the request.

Funding for Sonoma County Parks

Measure M – Parks for All – Funding for County, City Parks

Sonoma County voters on Nov. 6, 2018, approved Measure M, a one-eighth cent sales tax that supports Sonoma County’s regional and city parks. Approved by 72.6 percent of voters, the “Sonoma County Parks Improvement, Water Quality and Fire Safety Measure” went into effect in April 2019 and is providing funding for parks for 10 years. 
Measure M Details
Measure M is supporting long-term needs to maintain, protect and operate parks. The measure’s expenditure plan details how the revenue is to be allocated, with the county and cities each determining how best to prioritize their funding and a citizen oversight committee ensuring funds are used as intended. 
With Measure M funding, the county and cities can:

Invest in the maintenance of parks, trails, signs, buildings and other infrastructure
Improve playgrounds, sports fields, restrooms, picnic areas, and visitor centers

2001 Budget Analysis Trial Court Funding (0450)
The Trial Court Employment Protection and Governance Act of 2000, (Chapter 1010, Statutes of 2000 [SB 2140,
Burton]) established a new trial court personnel system. This statute redesignated county employees in the trial courts as "court
employees." The courts are required to develop new personnel procedures for these court employees including a uniform
classification system, an employment protection system, personnel rules, and eligibility for defined-benefit retirement systems. As the
employer, the trial courts will assume responsibility from the county for nearly all aspects of trial court employment.
Budget Request. The budget proposes (1) $2 million and 18.5 positions for the AOC in Item 0250 (Judicial) and (2) $3.5 million
and an undetermined number of trial court positions in Item 0450 (Trial Court) to implement the Trial Court Employment Protection
and Governance Act.
Funding for Trial Courts Premature. The Judicial Council indicates that some courts have already transitioned from their
county's administrative and human resources services to their own. Those courts, however, that have not made this transition were
required to assume fiscal and administrative responsibility for ensuring the provision of human resources in January 2001 regardless
of which entity actually provides them. To facilitate the immediate transition of these services, the budget proposes $3.5 million to
the trial courts for this purpose. At the time this analysis was prepared, the AOC indicated it was unable to provide specific
justification for the additional staff related to trial court funding activities. The AOC indicates, however, that it should be able to
provide this information in the coming months, once it receives a report from a consultant. The report is expected in April or May of
2001.
Analyst's Recommendation. Receipt of this report will assist the AOC in determining its specific need for funds and staff for trial
courts as related to Chapter 1010. We, therefore, withhold recommendation on the $3.5 million request pending receipt of a more
detailed proposal from the Judicial Council.

Propulsion Systems Laboratory No. 1 and 2

The Propulsion Systems Laboratory (PSL) No. 1 and 2 was for years the nation’s most powerful facility for testing full-scale engines at simulated flight altitudes. For nearly three decades, the PSL tested aircraft, missile, and rocket engines to support a range of military and civilian programs. This website seeks to preserve the legacy of the original PSL facility for future generations.
