Public hearing regarding the potential implementation of Assembly Bill 1265 and the extension of related changes to existing Williamson Act contracts and property tax benefits. (Potential general fund revenue of up to $500,000 in fiscal year 2012/13) (Drivon/Pogledich)
Att. A. Resolution
Supervisor Chamberlain recused himself. Phil Pogledich addressed the Board. 7/2009 Gov. Schwarzenegger suspended funds to the Williamson Act program. In 2009 the County sent out notices all holders of Williamson Act Contract that the County would have cancelled all Williamson Act contracts and adopted resolution directing staff to stop accepting new Williamson Act contracts. SB763 came last year, was repealed last year. Terms became 9 year terms. Formula - 10% difference of the Prop 13 value and the value of the Williamson Act Contract. Some will see increase, some will not. Same as what was presented last year. Should the moratorium be lifted so that new Williamson Acts could be repealed?
opened p/h and closed p/h - no comments. Sup. Saylor addressed the issue of lifting the moratorium - would like hard data in order to make a decision. Board members discussed the lifting of the moratorium. Sup. McGowan - need to look at the fundamental issue of this program - as per the State is changing its rules. What is the county cost? Matt - spoke of land use. P/S items A-D 4/0/1.
Discussed E - how many folks requested new Williamson Act contracts? Phil doesn't think there are many. Are these contracts in areas where there is a threat of development? Two ways this program works - reduce taxes or protect land. In Feb. meeting - what areas are the most critical? Matt suggested he and Jim speak with Pat about this issue and see how big it is. Will bring it back for discussion in Feb. Mike - interested in inviting Farm Bureau to Feb. meeting. AB 1265 is only a temporary fix.

Terry addressed the Board. 2 presentations - 1st is technical part and second is the financial part. Supervisor McGowan returned to the dais at 10:27 a.m.
Justice campus solar project est. in 2010 - Gen'l fund benefit is $152,000 so far. Have 104 electric accts in Yolo County- may be able to eliminate 82 of them. 3 sites - Beamer/Cottonwood, Grasslands Park, and landfill. Sup. Chamberlain left dais at 10:32 a.m. Showed environmental benefits.
Gov't Financial Strategies presented their info. Sup. Chamberlain returned at 10:34 a.m. Matt left dais at 10:34 a.m. Jonathan Edwards and Keith Wheeler addressed the Board. Core of financing is bonds. Majority of interest is subsidized by the government. There may be a small expense by the County. Matt returned at 10:30 A.M. Key risks and variables - renew contract with PG&E in 20 years. What if inflation rate is less than 5% a year? Say 3%? Still a financial benefit to the County. If 7%, savings would be higher. What is the break even rate? 2.24%. Provided PG&E inflation analysis going back to 1970. Average is 5.85% inflation rate. General fund benefit was explained. Explained risks - good idea to set aside financial benefits as the money comes in. Debt balance paid off in 23 years. Does believe this is a benefit to the County. Also benefit to county schools.
Next steps were explained. Jim asked - how much should be set aside?
Terry addressed Duane's question about the Justice Campus and the background. How much was paid and what really are the benefits? Duane does not think this is a good plan. Howard addressed the Board and the financing aspect of the project. Won't see full savings until year 31. In the beginning there will be a small savings in the first 20 years. Bill Kelly - Sunpower Company. Answered question about whether or not PG&E is installing solar. Competition bringing lower costs.
Howard supports this project. Put this project in Capital Improvement program. Feels it's the right way for the County to go. Part of long term financial plan. Having a reserve fund would definitely be a good idea. Sup. Saylor asked for information be brought back to the Board about projections compare with actual results when this comes to the Board for approval, Feels this is a very creative project and thanked Terry. Add recommended action E - Direct staff to work with parks, rec and wildlife adv. comm. on regional master plan to be sure how we proceed is sensitive to the overall park plan. Jim - When we project costs, we need to focus on actual costs, as risk is built into this project. Don and Mike left dais at 11:15 a.m. and Mike returned at 11:17 a.m. and Don returned at 11:17 a.m.
Catherine Portman addressed the Board on this item. Supports this project. On Grasslands site - consider timing of building this project as their are burrowing owls here.
Dr. Jorge Ayala addressed the Board about solar
Discussed locations - Matt had questions. Don - Grasslands location. Mike - in support of this project - the bigger the better. Saylor A-D with addition to look at two sites - cottonwood and grasslands and the parks /Provenza - 5/0.

Mike left at 11:58 a.m. Money intended to be used over 3 years only. It's an innovation plan - try something new. Mike returned at 12:04 p.m.
Don wants money in the stream so people can get into this program. Concerned about this plan. Wants to move forward on getting on RFP's but would like more info in the future for where the money is going. Kim said she would prepare that for the Board. Kim - so many needs and it was really hard to settle on one thing. Instead, looked at more options to spread out the money. Criteria to decide which ones to utilize - no sup plantation, no involuntary - serve need in community. Panel will review submitted rfp's to make sure points are addressed. The review panel will make recommendations to Kim. Then they would do contract negotiations before the Board. Jim would like the rec. proposals be brought to the Board first. Don - if we agree with the process, then he doesn't feel it needs to come to the Board. Jim - at least bring it in earlier so the Board can discuss. This would be next year.
Saylor/Pr. 5/0 - approve Part A - ask complete funding plan come back to us at the earliest opportunity for consultation of priorities in the future.

Public hearing regarding the potential implementation of Assembly Bill 1265 and the extension of related changes to existing Williamson Act contracts and property tax benefits. (Potential general fund revenue of up to $500,000 in fiscal year 2012/13) (Drivon/Pogledich)
Att. A. Resolution
Supervisor Chamberlain recused himself. Phil Pogledich addressed the Board. 7/2009 Gov. Schwarzenegger suspended funds to the Williamson Act program. In 2009 the County sent out notices all holders of Williamson Act Contract that the County would have cancelled all Williamson Act contracts and adopted resolution directing staff to stop accepting new Williamson Act contracts. SB763 came last year, was repealed last year. Terms became 9 year terms. Formula - 10% difference of the Prop 13 value and the value of the Williamson Act Contract. Some will see increase, some will not. Same as what was presented last year. Should the moratorium be lifted so that new Williamson Acts could be repealed?
opened p/h and closed p/h - no comments. Sup. Saylor addressed the issue of lifting the moratorium - would like hard data in order to make a decision. Board members discussed the lifting of the moratorium. Sup. McGowan - need to look at the fundamental issue of this program - as per the State is changing its rules. What is the county cost? Matt - spoke of land use. P/S items A-D 4/0/1.
Discussed E - how many folks requested new Williamson Act contracts? Phil doesn't think there are many. Are these contracts in areas where there is a threat of development? Two ways this program works - reduce taxes or protect land. In Feb. meeting - what areas are the most critical? Matt suggested he and Jim speak with Pat about this issue and see how big it is. Will bring it back for discussion in Feb. Mike - interested in inviting Farm Bureau to Feb. meeting. AB 1265 is only a temporary fix.

Terry addressed the Board. 2 presentations - 1st is technical part and second is the financial part. Supervisor McGowan returned to the dais at 10:27 a.m.
Justice campus solar project est. in 2010 - Gen'l fund benefit is $152,000 so far. Have 104 electric accts in Yolo County- may be able to eliminate 82 of them. 3 sites - Beamer/Cottonwood, Grasslands Park, and landfill. Sup. Chamberlain left dais at 10:32 a.m. Showed environmental benefits.
Gov't Financial Strategies presented their info. Sup. Chamberlain returned at 10:34 a.m. Matt left dais at 10:34 a.m. Jonathan Edwards and Keith Wheeler addressed the Board. Core of financing is bonds. Majority of interest is subsidized by the government. There may be a small expense by the County. Matt returned at 10:30 A.M. Key risks and variables - renew contract with PG&E in 20 years. What if inflation rate is less than 5% a year? Say 3%? Still a financial benefit to the County. If 7%, savings would be higher. What is the break even rate? 2.24%. Provided PG&E inflation analysis going back to 1970. Average is 5.85% inflation rate. General fund benefit was explained. Explained risks - good idea to set aside financial benefits as the money comes in. Debt balance paid off in 23 years. Does believe this is a benefit to the County. Also benefit to county schools.
Next steps were explained. Jim asked - how much should be set aside?
Terry addressed Duane's question about the Justice Campus and the background. How much was paid and what really are the benefits? Duane does not think this is a good plan. Howard addressed the Board and the financing aspect of the project. Won't see full savings until year 31. In the beginning there will be a small savings in the first 20 years. Bill Kelly - Sunpower Company. Answered question about whether or not PG&E is installing solar. Competition bringing lower costs.
Howard supports this project. Put this project in Capital Improvement program. Feels it's the right way for the County to go. Part of long term financial plan. Having a reserve fund would definitely be a good idea. Sup. Saylor asked for information be brought back to the Board about projections compare with actual results when this comes to the Board for approval, Feels this is a very creative project and thanked Terry. Add recommended action E - Direct staff to work with parks, rec and wildlife adv. comm. on regional master plan to be sure how we proceed is sensitive to the overall park plan. Jim - When we project costs, we need to focus on actual costs, as risk is built into this project. Don and Mike left dais at 11:15 a.m. and Mike returned at 11:17 a.m. and Don returned at 11:17 a.m.
Catherine Portman addressed the Board on this item. Supports this project. On Grasslands site - consider timing of building this project as their are burrowing owls here.

Mike left at 11:58 a.m. Money intended to be used over 3 years only. It's an innovation plan - try something new. Mike returned at 12:04 p.m.
Don wants money in the stream so people can get into this program. Concerned about this plan. Wants to move forward on getting on RFP's but would like more info in the future for where the money is going. Kim said she would prepare that for the Board. Kim - so many needs and it was really hard to settle on one thing. Instead, looked at more options to spread out the money. Criteria to decide which ones to utilize - no sup plantation, no involuntary - serve need in community. Panel will review submitted rfp's to make sure points are addressed. The review panel will make recommendations to Kim. Then they would do contract negotiations before the Board. Jim would like the rec. proposals be brought to the Board first. Don - if we agree with the process, then he doesn't feel it needs to come to the Board. Jim - at least bring it in earlier so the Board can discuss. This would be next year.
Saylor/Pr. 5/0 - approve Part A - ask complete funding plan come back to us at the earliest opportunity for consultation of priorities in the future.
