BILL NUMBER: SB 735 CHAPTERED 10/10/99 CHAPTER 1021 FILED WITH SECRETARY OF STATE OCTOBER 10, 1999 PASSED THE SENATE SEPTEMBER 10, 1999 PASSED THE ASSEMBLY SEPTEMBER 9, 1999 AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY SEPTEMBER 9, 1999 AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY SEPTEMBER 3, 1999 INTRODUCED BY Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review FEBRUARY 24, 1999 An act to amend and supplement the Budget Act of 1999 (Chapter 50, Statutes of 1999), relating to state government, making an appropriation therefor, and declaring the urgency thereof, to take effect immediately. (Approved by Governor October 10, 1999. Filed with Secretary of State October 10, 1999.) I am signing Senate Bill No. 735, however, I am reducing augmentations and reappropriations made to various items by a total of $523,000 General Fund. This bill would appropriate $4,981,000 General Fund, reduce existing special fund appropriations by $2 million, and reappropriate $5,725,000 General Fund for programs and projects as a supplement to the Budget Act of 1999 (Chapter 50, Statutes of 1999) as follows: $250,000 appropriation to the Department of Trade and Commerce for the California Institute for Federal Policy Research; $1.5 million reappropriation to the State Coastal Conservancy for Elysian Valley and Arroyo Seco projects; $3,275,000 to the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) for reappropriation of 10 local projects; $950,000 reappropriation to DPR for Rancho San Andres Castro Adobe as a capital outlay project; $1,150,000 appropriation to DPR for four new projects including $400,000 for a teen center and a senior center for the Plaza Community Center; $31,000 to Sacramento County for Street and Traffic Lighting; $50,000 to the Employment Development Department for a grant to the Vallejo Cadet Project; $31,000 to Sacramento County for Street and Traffic Lighting; Plaza Community Center, $31,000 to Sacramento County for Street and Traffic Lighting; $50,000 to the Employment Development Department for a grant to the Vallejo Cadet Project; $1 million to the University of California (UC) for the Welfare Policy Research Project; $2.5 million to UC for Internet 2; and $2 million special fund reduction to the Department of Industrial Relations related to the Uninsured Employers Fund. The bill would also add provisional language for the following; the California Energy Commission, the Public Utilities Commission, and the Electricity Oversight Board regarding a report on electricity reliability issues; the Department of Water Resources regarding road repair; the Department of Corrections regarding the reimbursement of local costs for detention and parole revocation proceedings; and the California Arts Council for the Japanese American National Museum. I am deleting funding for the $250,000 appropriation for the California Institute for Federal Policy Research because the State already maintains an office in Washington, DC which is the appropriate voice for California's positions on federal policy issues. I am deleting the $31,000 appropriation for the Sacramento County Street and Traffic Lighting. While this project may have merit, it is not of sufficient priority to fund and maintain a prudent General Fund reserve. I am reducing the Internet2 appropriation to the University of California from $2.5 million to $2.25 million. I support this appropriation to allow the University of California to make progress toward completing this information technology project. I am reducing the appropriation to DPR for the Plaza Community Center from $400,000 to $399,000 and deleting a reference to a senior citizen center for the Plaza Community Center project. This is necessary in order to correct a drafting error. I am sustaining the reappropriation for a capital outlay project at the Rancho San Andres Castro Adobe, the historic home of Jose Joaquin Castro, only because DPR indicates that there is an excellent prospect that the facility could be operated as a concession agreement without state funding. My sustaining this reappropriation also reflects my position that the $950,000 appropriation would represent the State's full commitment to the restoration project. GRAY DAVIS, Governor LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 735, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review. Budget Act of 1999: augmentation and reappropriation.
