<br />8A <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />provides relief in the form of "adequate progress" provisions that will allow cities and counties to <br />continue to grow during the interim period until they reach the 200-year level of protection. <br /> <br />This bill is part of a package of flood bills (SB 5, AB 5, SB 17, SB 162) that are the result of <br />extensive stakeholder negotiations and are supported by a coalition of cities, planners, business <br />and environmental groups. AB 70 (Jones) is not part of this answer. <br /> <br />+ AB 5 (Wolk). Request: Sign/Result: Signed by Governor- Oct. 10 <br /> <br />This bill is a technical cleanup vehicle to the package of flood bills (SB 5, SB 17, SB 162) that are <br />the result of extensive stakeholder negotiations and are supported by a coalition of cities, <br />planners, business and environmental groups. <br /> <br />+ AB 162 (Wolk). Request: Sign/Result: Signed by Governor- Oct. 10 <br /> <br />This bill expands the requirements for flood management in city and county general plans. <br /> <br />+ SB 17 (Florez).

Request: Veto/Result: Signed by Governor- Oct. 10 <br /> <br />This bill could potentially shift some legal liability from the state to local governments in the event <br />that state-maintained levees fail. <br /> <br />Transportation <br /> <br />+ AB 193/AB 196 (Committee on Budget). Request: Sign/Result: Signed by Governor- <br />Oct. 8 <br /> <br />These bills contain the League-sponsored cleanup language to SB 88 (Budget Committee) to <br />clarify allocation and oversight for Prop. 1 B local streets and roads funding. AS 196 is especially <br />important to cities because it clarifies the split of the $950 million for local streets and roads <br />funding between cities and counties so cities receive $550 million and counties receive $400 <br />million as per their budget request. This clarification is supported by both the League and the <br />California State Association of Counties (CSAC). <br /> <br />- AB 945 (Carter). Request: Sign/Result: Vetoed by Governor- Oct. 11 <br /> <br />This bill would have required the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to develop an <br />assessment of the unfunded costs of programmed state projects and federally earmarked <br />projects in the state, as well as an assessment of available funding for transportation purposes <br />and unmet transportation needs on a statewide basis. <br /> <br />CTC would have been required to work with regional transportation planning agencies, <br />California Transit Association, CSAC, and the League to develop the reports with the first <br />report due by July 1, 2008. <br /> <br />5 <br />
