FAQs • Danville, CA • CivicEngage
Denying wireless applications based on health concerns, such as those expressed about radio frequency emissions. 3. Stalling or failing to make a decision.  The Telecommunications Act imposes a short time frame, often referred to as a shot clock, for a city to review a wireless application.  Failure for a city to act results in the application being automatically approved without the ability to impose conditions of approval.4. Denying a carrier from using the public right-of-way to install their equipment.  

3.
What has the Town of Danville done to address this issue?

Recognizing that its existing wireless ordinance, lasted updated in 1996, did not adequately address new small cell technology, the Town initiated an ordinance update in 2017.  The Town Council’s direction was to ensure that the new ordinance was as stringent as possible, while remaining in compliance with federal and state laws.    The Town Council and Planning Commission held six public hearings over the course of a year and heard testimony from the public and wireless providers, culminating in the adoption of an updated Wireless Communication Facilities Ordinance (“Wireless Ordinance”) on August 21, 2018 (effective September 20, 2018).  

4.
What does the Town’s Wireless Ordinance do?

The new updated ordinance now:  1. Complies with new federal and state regulations that have taken effect since the Town’s ordinance was initially adopted in 1996. 2. Imposes development standards to address both aesthetics and location preferences by requiring that the carrier provide coverage through the “least intrusive means.” 3. Outlines permit and process requirements that allows the Town to meet the short approval time frame (shot clock) established by federal and state law. 

5.
What have other cities done? 

Like Danville, cities around the country are working to update their wireless ordinances to address small cell facilities in a manner complies with new federal and state laws.  Also like Danville, these updated ordinances include similar design standards and acknowledge that FCC regulations preempts the consideration of health impacts when reviewing wireless applications. While some ordinances appear to be more restrictive, they all contain provisions that allow wireless facilities to be approved in order to comply with federal and state law.
Overview and Update on the Prison Receivership
(We note that about $170 million of this increase is due to spending related to the COVID‑19 pandemic in 2021‑22.) As shown in Figure 3 below, inflation‑adjusted spending on medical care increased every year over this time period, with the exception of 2009‑10 and 2010‑11—when spending was reduced in response to the Great Recession—and 2012‑13—when spending declined due to a reduction in the prison population associated with the 2011 realignment. 

Prison Medical Staffing Has Also Increased Substantially. A significant portion of the increased spending is related to increases in staffing. This is because the number of prison health care positions (including medical staff such as doctors and nurses) per person in prison has dramatically increased. Specifically, CDCR staffing of health care positions has increased from about 3 positions for every 100 people in prison in 2005‑06 to about 15 positions for every 100 people in 2021‑22. 
Exiting the Receivership—Steps Specified by Federal Court
Several orders have been issued by the Plata court outlining the benchmarks that must be met for the state to take full responsibility for prison medical care back from the Receiver. The most recent court order, issued in October 2021, supersedes the previous orders and clarifies the current procedure to end the Receivership and terminate the Plata court case. Below, we summarize the steps that the court has indicated the state must complete before exiting the Receivership.
State Must Adopt Laws and Regulations to Reduce or Eliminate Need for Waivers. When the Receivership ends, the executive authority used by the Receiver to waive state laws and regulations will expire. Accordingly, the October 2021 order specifies that the state and the Receiver shall implement any changes in laws and regulation necessary to eliminate the need for the waivers implemented by the Receiver as much as possible. As such, there may need to be various changes made to CDCR regulations and state law prior to the end of the Receivership. For example, the Plata court waived laws that specify disciplinary proceedings of state employees and established new policies related to the delivery of prison medical care as proposed by the Receiver. It is possible that some of the changes will be need to be made permanent through modification to statute or regulations. 
Receiver Must Delegate Responsibility for Each Prison Back to the State.

FAQs • San Bruno, CA • CivicEngage
What is the City doing to advocate for residents who disagree with Federal and State laws allowing small cell installations in residential areas?

The City Council has joined a national coalition of more than 50 cities and local agencies in fifteen states to file suit in federal court opposing a new FCC order that would further reduce local control over small cell facilities. Other California cities that have joined are Burlingame, Fairfax, Monterey, San Jose, and the Marin Telecommunications Agency, along with nine cities in Southern California, including the City of Los Angeles. The cities seek to overturn the FCC order, which would otherwise go into effect in January 2019, and which would otherwise result in many small cell applications being approved with little or no local oversight. 

8.
What is 5G? How does it relate to current installations of wireless telecommunications facilities? What are requirements for 5G?

5G is the fifth generation of mobile communication networks. Most consumers now use 3G or 4G/LTE networks, which were introduced to the public in 2001 and 2009, respectively. AT&T shuttered its 2G system in early 2017. Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint have said they’ll continue to operate their 2G networks through 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively. It is anticipated that 5G systems will use existing cell towers and small cells. 

9.
Which agency establishes limits for radio frequency (RF) emissions?

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), in consultation with numerous other federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, has developed safety standards. The FCC explains that its standards incorporate prudent margins of safety. It explains further that radio frequency emissions from antennas used for cellular and PCS transmissions result in exposure levels on the ground that are typically thousands of times below safety limits. The FCC provides information about the safety of RF emissions from wireless telecommunications facilities on its website. See this FAQ for additional information and resources.

 Questions and Answers: No FEAR Act
 

Questions and Answers: No FEAR Act

 Q: What is the No FEAR Act? A: The Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act of 2002 (No FEAR Act) became effective on October 1, 2003. The Act imposes additional duties upon Federal agency employers intended to reinvigorate their longstanding obligation to provide a work environment free of discrimination and retaliation. Q: What are the new duties that the No FEAR Act places on a Federal agency? A: The additional obligations contained in the No FEAR Act can be broken down into five categories. A Federal agency must reimburse the Judgment Fund for payments made to employees, former employees, or applicants for Federal employment because of actual or alleged violations of Federal employment discrimination laws, Federal whistleblower protection laws, and retaliation claims arising from the assertion of rights under those laws. An agency must provide annual notice to its employees, former employees, and applicants for Federal employment concerning the rights and remedies applicable to them under the employment discrimination and whistleblower protection laws. At least every two years, an agency must provide training to its employees, including managers, regarding the rights and remedies available under the employment discrimination and whistleblower protection laws. An agency must submit to Congress, EEOC, the Department of Justice, and OPM, an annual report setting forth information about the agency's efforts to improve compliance with the employment discrimination and whistleblower protection laws and detailing the status of complaints brought against the agency under these laws.
Ballot Analysis
The LAO does not take a position on proposed initiatives, nor does it advise proponents on what changes they should make during the public review period. The AG incorporates a summary of the fiscal estimate developed by the LAO and DOF into the summary that is included on the petitions circulated by signature gatherers.
Ballot Propositions
(Read fiscal analyses of ballot Propositions.)

 The proposition is the power of voters to determine whether to implement proposed changes to the state Constitution or other laws. Voters have considered 148 propositions since 2000 with just over half
 of those being approved.

Types of Propositions. There are several different types of propositions that can appear on the statewide ballot. (For a table listing the number of propositions considered by voters each year since 1974, see here.) The people of California have the power to place propositions on the ballot through the voter initiative process. This includes initiatives to amend the Constitution or other state laws (or both), as well as referenda to overturn certain legislatively enacted laws. In addition, with a two-thirds vote, the Legislature can put measures to amend the state Constitution or approve bond financing before voters. (Bond measures also require the Governor’s approval to be placed on the ballot.) With a majority vote, the Legislature can also place on the ballot measures to change state laws previously added or amended by voter initiative.

The LAO Role. With the passage of Proposition 9 on the June 1974 ballot, voters gave the responsibility to provide impartial analyses of all statewide propositions to the LAO.
 For each proposition that appears on the ballot, the LAO provides four separate pieces of information: (1) the analysis of the measure, (2) fiscal summary bullets (included at the bottom of the AG's
 title and summary), (3) a yes/no summary (which appears at the front of the pamphlet), and (4) a ballot label used in county voting materials. In addition, for any election having one or more bond measures,
 the LAO prepares an overview of state bond debt. This appears after the materials on the last proposition.

California Tribal Communities 
According to most recent census data, California is home to more people of Native American/Alaska Native heritage in urban and rural areas than any other state in the country.  There are approximately 110 federally recognized tribes in California and 78 entities petitioning for recognition.  Federally recognized tribes have a unique government to government relationship with local, state and federal entities, and are recognized as sovereign nations.  Tribes can create their own laws, governmental structure and enrollment or membership rules for the land and citizens of their nation.

Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) 
The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) (25 U.S.C. §§ 1901 et seq.) is federal legislation, which establishes minimum federal standards for state court child welfare proceedings and many other “child custody” proceedings involving Indian children.  In 2006, with the passage of California Senate Bill 678, effective January 1, 2007, codified many of these requirements  into the Welfare & Institutions Code, Family Code, and Probate Code that govern Indian child custody proceedings.  This legislation affects California dependency, delinquency, guardianship and some family proceedings involving Indian children.

Questions and Answers: No FEAR Act | U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Q: What are EEOC's responsibilities under the No FEAR Act? A: Title III of the No FEAR Act authorizes EEOC to prescribe the time, form and manner in which a federal agency shall post on its public Web site summary statistical data pertaining to EEO complaints filed with the agency. EEOC has done so by regulation. EEOC's No FEAR regulation can be found at http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2006/E6-12432.htm. Title III further requires EEOC to post on its public Web site summary statistical data relating to (1) hearings requested before an EEOC administrative judge and (2) appeals filed with EEOC from final agency actions. The information that must be posted about hearings and appeals parallels the information agencies must post about complaints (e.g., number of hearings requested and appeals filed, the bases and issues alleged in each, the number of findings of discrimination, and length of time to process hearings and appeals). This summary data can be found at http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/statistics/nofear/index.cfm. Q: What are OPM's responsibilities under the No FEAR Act? A: Title II of the No FEAR Act authorizes OPM, through a delegation of authority from the President, to issue rules regarding an agency's obligation to: 1) reimburse the Judgment Fund for payments made to employees, former employees, and applicants, because of actual or alleged violations of Federal antidiscrimination laws, whistleblower protection laws, and retaliation claims; 2) notify and train employees, former employees, and applicants, of their rights under antidiscrimination and whistleblower protection laws; and 3) report annually on certain topics regarding antidiscrimination and whistleblower protection laws, including disciplinary actions taken for conduct that is inconsistent with these laws.
