INTER-AGENCY UPDATES: Commissioner Munoz gave election updates discussed at the League of
California Cities. He said Prop 68. a $4 billion park/water bond passed and we are hoping some grant
money will come back to our City for Central Park. He said Prop 69 also passed, it offers constitutional
protection of money set aside for the specific purpose to rehabilitate roads. He also noted Prop 72 which
provides exemptions to homeowners who install recapture water systems. He said these are all "wins"
• for cities. He said they also met regarding 3 telecommunications bills with respect to "Net Neutrality"—
lie said it has been put on a watch basis-the League neither opposes or supports it. He said most people
are not wanting to increase taxes and therefore they will monitor the climate for the next few months.
He said the League approved a drone policy that would support minimum State standards. He said it
received strong approval from the representatives on the committee and he would forward the
information to staff for their use.
