Design and planning of two new entry signs at the entrance to OlympicValley. The current signage is deteriorating, ineffective and not indicativeof the many offerings within the Valley. Infrastructure necessary to install EV charging stations at Far East inpartnership with Tesla, who is funding most of the project. This is anenvironmentally responsible project which will address the currentshortage of charging stations in the Valley. Winter access and wayfinding improvements for Squaw Valley Park,including parking lot resurfacing and installation of wayfinding signs.Mountain Housing Council – Support for SB 5, SB 252 and AB 1010Mike Geary, on behalf of the District, has supported three letters the MountainHousing Council drafted in support of two State Bills (SB 5 and SB 252) and oneAssembly Bill (AB 1010). The measures are consistent with MHC's Work Plan andPolicy Platform approved by the Board in January 2019. SB 5: Would establish the Affordable Housing and CommunityDevelopment Investment Program to help local governments implementlow‐ and moderate‐income housing, transit‐oriented development, andsustainable communities. SB 252: Would incentivize mobile home park owners to sell their park toa qualified purchaser that agrees to preserve the affordability of the park. AB 1010: Would allow the duly‐constituted governing body of an Indianreservation or rancheria and a tribally‐designated housing entity todirectly apply to and participate in State affordable housing andcommunity development programs.Comment Letter Re: Support for Senate Bill 669 – Safe Drinking Water FundMike Geary signed a letter of support, drafted by Sean Barclay, General Managerof Tahoe City Public Utility District (PUD), regarding Senate Bill 669 (Caballero),which would create a Safe Drinking Water Trust (Trust) at the state Treasury.The purpose of the Trust would be to provide a durable funding source to helpcommunity water systems in disadvantaged communities provide theircustomers with access to safe drinking water. The Trust is thought to be a betterapproach than a statewide water tax. The letter was also signed by North TahoePUD, Tahoe City PUD, South Tahoe PUD, Truckee Donner PUD and Alpine Springs305 Squaw Valley Roadwww.svpsd.orgP.O.

The region has 33,000 units – mostly single family homes – but65% of them are vacant for more than half of the year. This results in a shortfall ofapproximately 12,000 units to serve the local workforce. In our region, housing isneeded across a wide spectrum of household income levels, ranging fromextremely low-income to 195% AMI.We strongly support the goals of SB 5 of creating desperately needed housingfor hard-working Californians to alleviate poverty, create jobs, and meet ourstatewide environmental goals without affecting school funding. However, werespectfully request two amendments that are necessary to ensure the bill’sgoals are implemented in rural communities of the state facing significantaffordable housing problems.We support the bill’s recognition that a rural set-aside is needed to expandaffordable housing solutions in rural areas without having to compete directlywith the state’s urban centers. However, the current language, which allocates12% of the overall funding to counties with a population of less than 200,000, isproblematic in two ways: 1) using total county population to determine ruralareas is too broad and fails to recognize the geographic isolation of somecommunities within counties with populations over 200,000; and 2) dedicatingwww.mountainhousingcouncil.orgThe Mountain Housing Council of Tahoe Truckee is a collaboration of 29 public agencies, nonprofits,and private sector partners, committed to accelerating housing solutions in our region. Advocacypositions and priorities represented here reflect the general consensus of the above listed organizations,and do not necessarily reflect the position of individual organizations.

just 12% of overall funding to rural areas is not enough to address the urgent need for affordablehousing in many rural communities throughout the state.1. Definition of Rural AreasIn Placer County, the vast majority of its 386,000 residents live in the urban center of Roseville andsurrounding suburbs which are separated from the relatively isolated communities in easternPlacer County by a nearly 2-hour drive over the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Communities ineastern Placer County have small populations, geographic isolation, limited employment andeducational opportunities, and access to fewer public resources compared with communities inwestern parts of the County but yet projects in those areas would not qualify for the rural set-asidein SB 5. This is not a problem unique to Placer County. In fact, the majority of census-defined ruralcommunities in California are located within metropolitan counties.We suggest using the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee’s definition of “rural areas” toidentify areas of the state eligible for the rural set-aside. A county population limit of 200,000covers only about 5% of the state’s population and would overlook many rural communities, likethose in the North Tahoe-Truckee area, who are struggling to gain access to resources necessaryto address affordable housing issues.2. Rural Set-asideWe do not believe a rural set-aside of 12% is reflective of the population and resource needs ofrural communities throughout the state. In eastern Placer County alone, a draft housinginvestment strategy estimates a total funding need (through 2040) of 232 million to meet lowand moderate-income housing needs. Without this rural set-aside, our community and others likeit would be forced to compete with urban projects with much more technical capacity and scale- likely with little to no success.Therefore, we recommend restoring the rural set-aside to 20% of total funding amounts (as writtenin the introduced version of the bill).We appreciate your consideration of our comments and would welcome the opportunity to discussour proposed amendments anytime.

Mobilehomesaccount for 3% of the total units in the area, just over 1000 units, representing asignificant portion of the total affordable units in the region. Mobilehomes andmanufactured homes help alleviate the housing crisis as they can be builtquickly and are more affordable to lower income and elderly residents.However, when a park owner decides to sell the park or convert it to anotheruse, residents usually face steep rent hikes or displacement with few, if any,options to move – exacerbating existing conditions of overcrowding andhomelessness.There are currently no state laws that incentivize mobilehome park owners to sellto a successor owner who will commit to keep the park rents affordable and notdisplace existing residents. It is essential to preserve these existing affordable unitsby creating incentives for park owners to maintain affordability.This bill will create a new tax incentive for privately owned mobilehome parks tosell to a residents’ organization, qualified nonprofit organization, or local publicagency, by reducing the amount of capital gains taxes paid on the gain fromqualified sale. This measure will help preserve affordable housing in Californiaand keep mobilehome communities open and affordable.www.mountainhousingcouncil.orgThe Mountain Housing Council of Tahoe Truckee is a collaboration of 29 public agencies, nonprofits,and private sector partners, committed to accelerating housing solutions in our region.

California has the largest Native Americanpopulation and largest number of federally-recognized tribes in the U.S.Unfortunately, the rate of tribal poverty is more than twice that of the rest ofCalifornia’s population and one third of tribal residents live below the federalpoverty rate.It is essential that California Tribes be able to access State affordable housingand community development programs currently operated by the CaliforniaDepartment of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to have anopportunity to improve their situation. Tribes are explicitly eligible for some ofthese programs, but the terminology used to refer to tribes is inconsistent andconfusing while other programs omit tribes as eligible applicants altogether. Thislegislation will make tribes and tribally-designated housing entities eligibleapplicants to participate in nine HCD programs by conforming all of theseprograms to a single terminology and clearly and unambiguously listing tribesand tribally-designated housing entities as eligible applicants and recipients ofprogram funds.www.mountainhousingcouncil.orgThe Mountain Housing Council of Tahoe Truckee is a collaboration of 29 public agencies, nonprofits,and private sector partners, committed to accelerating housing solutions in our region.

This bill also reconstitutes the California Indian Assistance Program that was housed at HCD for morethan 20 years to provide ongoing technical assistance and build the capacity of tribes to access anduse new and existing state housing programs.The Mountain Housing Council would like to commend your leadership and thank you for authoringthis critically important measure.

April 11, 2019The Honorable Bill Dodd (Chair)Senate Governmental Organization CommitteeState Capitol BuildingSacramento, CA 95814RE: SB 669 (Caballero): Safe Drinking Water Trust - SUPPORTDear Senator Dodd,Our coalition of regional Lake Tahoe water agencies supports SB 669 (Caballero), which would create theSafe Drinking Water Trust (Trust) at the state Treasury. The purpose of the Trust would be to provide adurable funding source to help community water systems in disadvantaged communities provide theircustomers with access to safe drinking water. The Trust is a better approach than a statewide water tax.There currently exists a funding gap for operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for the treatment ofdrinking water by community water systems in disadvantaged communities. O&M costs generallycannot be financed with existing federal and state safe drinking water funding sources that are availablefor capital costs. In some situations, the consolidation of a failing community water system with one ormore systems may be the most effective solution. The Safe Drinking Water Trust proposed in SB 669would provide a durable funding source to provide financial assistance for replacement water as a shortterm solution, consolidation and ongoing O&M costs.The Trust would be funded with an infusion of General Fund dollars during a budget surplus year. Withthe record budget surplus for the 2019-20 Fiscal Year, this is the perfect year to create and fund theTrust. The state would invest the Trust’s principal, and the net income from the Trust would betransferred on an ongoing basis to a Safe Drinking Water Fund that would be administered by the StateWater Resources Control Board.The Trust is a better approach than a statewide water tax because it is not sound policy to tax a resourcethat is essential to life. Unlike a regressive water tax and the associated implementation costs at about

3,000 local water systems, the Trust would not drive up water costs and work against the state’s HumanRight to Water policy of affordable water.For the above reasons, we respectfully asks you to vote “Aye” for SB 669.Sean BarclayGeneral ManagerTahoe City Public Utility DistrictMike GearyGeneral ManagerSquaw Valley Public Service DistrictBradley A.
