CC 2017-06-27 Items Rec'd at Mtg (,lzl//1 ccl� � . June 15, 2017 We the undersigned County Administrative Officer and City Managers conceptually concur with the following contingency funding scenario for the Economic Impact Analysis/Fiscal Impact Analysis (EIA/FIA, respectively) and strategies to address economic impacts of the Diablo Canyon Power Plan retirement. The contingency plan would only be activated in the unanticipated circumstance that the Joint Proposal and associated settlement agreement associated with Pacific Gas and Electric's application to retire DCPP is rejected. The EIA will evaluate the broader economic impacts in the region (like the housing market,jobs, industries impacted on a county-wide perspective). The FIA will be a jurisdiction-specific assessment of the fiscal impacts (like sales tax, property tax and TOT revenue impacts). The FIA will be produced for all seven cities in the County and for eight geographical areas as defined by the County The second part of this effort will be developing the strategies to address the impacts. As you may recall, there is $400,000 in the Community Impact Fund earmarked for this purpose. The County has budgeted $200,000 in 2017-18 that will front the money to pay for the study (the County will be reimbursed from the $400,000). If these studies/strategies costs more than $200,000, the County will ask the Supervisors to appropriate additional funding. If the study costs more than $250,000 (as outlined in the contingency plan), a revised funding plan would be negotiated. It is acknowledged that this approach not be considered a precedent for future cost -- ing for related matters. wit Dan Bnt Administrative Officer Tom Frutchey, City Manager, City of Paso Robles Rachel - = are " a ger, City.o Atascadero Craig Schmolfing , nterim City Manager, City of Morro Bay 4 ' , int - a K=f 1g Manager, City of San Luis Obispo Jim -1 is -ity anager, City of Pismo Beach Jim Bergm City Manager, City of Arroyo Grande �1%�tCDc�\'tet att Bronson, City Manager, City of Grover Beach 23 *n /6 par„ Emoio(3.Bao aat+rnII ' Mnrmsw AMR StCRARY Water Boards CVA4004EfIM. P7 Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board June 8,2017 Gerhardt Hubner, District Administrator South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District 1600 Aloha Place, Oceano CA 93445 Gerhardt@sslocsd.us This letter is to follow up on a discussion you had with Thea Tryon and Katie DiSimone in our office on May 4,2017.You asked that we prioritize our investigation and take action regarding potential falsification of reported data required by the South County Sanitation District's NPDES permit.You mentioned that the alleged violations were caused by an employee of the District, and that you are pursuing a personnel action against the employee,and we should therefore act quickly to avoid negative press coverage. Ms.Tryon explained that we have established priorities for enforcement cases in our regional office,and that the State Water Board's Office of Enforcement, not the Regional Board,handles issues regarding system operators.The Office of Operator Certification may also investigate issues involving operators. In addition,our enforcement actions are separate and distinct from the District's internal personnel actions. Any investigation that we or the Office of Enforcement conducts will be an objective investigation of the District.As such, please do not discuss the Districts internal personnel actions with Water Board staff or try to influence Water Board staff in this regard.We consider personnel actions to be confidential,and we do not prioritize or conduct our investigations in relation to the Districts personnel actions. If you wish to discuss this further, please have your counsel contact David Boyers,Assistant Chief Counsel, Office of Enforcement,at(916)341-5276,or at David.Boyers@waterboards.ca.gov.
