Division Presents "Understanding the Benefits and Challenges to California’s Public Pension System" |
|
In California, the average amount that cities, counties and schools pay for pension benefits, as a percentage of their payroll, has more than doubled to 26 percent from 12.4 percent in 2001, according to the Public Employee Post Employment Benefits Commission.
In one high profile example, overall public safety expenditures accounted for more than 70 percent of Vallejo's budget at the time of its bankruptcy. The Division’s November 12 Division Meeting centered on this complex and often volatile topic with panel discussion on “Understanding the Benefits and Challenges to California’s Public Pension System.” |

Mike Madrid Discusses "Taking Back California" |
|
The Division hosted an engaging – and at times provocative – discussion at its July 9 Division Meeting, as Campaign Strategist Mike Madrid delivered his views on “Taking Back California.” Made possible with generous sponsorships from Time Warner Cable and AT&T, the event followed the Division’s Business Meeting. Madrid, introduced by Division President L. Allan Songstad Jr. as the lead strategist for the State League of California Cities and one of the chief architects of the Prop 1A campaign, outlined a 4-step process that he believes could transform State Government for the better. Despite the myriad challenges and seemingly insurmountable differences facing the state’s policymakers, Madrid suggested the state is “ripe for a tectonic shift in its governance model.” |

The Making of a Countywide Model Landscape Irrigation Ordinance |
|
Over 60 representatives of cities, water agencies and private entities attended an Orange County Division-hosted Stakeholder meeting on the development of a countywide landscape irrigation ordinance July 1. Presented together with the Municipal Water District of Orange County (MWDOC), this is the first in a series of meetings slated to take place in conjunction with technical development of a model ordinance that both fits revised state mandates and provides Orange County with a workable, uniform standard for new development. Local agencies must adopt the State Model Ordinance, “or one that is at least as effective as the Model Ordinance” by January 1, 2010. |
