ACCEPT the reports to be presented to the Committee at the meeting regarding the Governor's Revised Budget for FY 2018-19 and provide direction to staff.

The Committee accepted the verbal report from Ben Palmer of Nielsen Merksamer. Ben highlighted the major Governor's Revised State Budget items of interest to the County, including the investment in infrastructure, homeless services, and mental health treatment. In addition, Ben noted the "No Place Like Home" measure would be on the November 2018 ballot. Patricia Tanquary indicated the proposed elimination of the 340 B pharmaceutical program would mean a loss of approximately $30 Million to Contra Costa County. She stated that the staff are appealing this proposal, and our legislative delegation should be made aware of the potentially serious impact on Contra Costa. |

PROVIDE feedback to staff on SB 828 (Weiner) and AB 1771 (Bloom): Planning and Zoning: Regional Housing Needs Assessment, which will be provided to CSAC staff as requested.

The Committee provided feedback to staff, expressing concerns related to the usurpation of local land use control and indicating that the bill’s language comes close to turning housing needs allocations into a production quota, which conflicts with the unfortunate reality that planning requirements are not accompanied by sufficient subsidy for actual construction. |
