PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS  Colby Wells, Public Affairs Manager at Southern California Gas Company spoke about natural gas and what is going on in the natural gas industry. SoCal Gas serves a small portion of the City of Fowler. He said the State is trying to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases from residential and commercial buildings. The State has already started electrifications of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to achieve these results. Senate Bill AB 3232 was introduced last year, if passed it would require the commission, by January 1, 2022, of all new buildings in the State of California to be electric and by 2030 all existing buildings, residential, commercial, and industrial to be converted to electricity at the building owners expense. Mr. Wells said there is another possible alternative, renewable natural gas; he explained that this consists of methane which comes  from composition of organic matter.

PUBLIC WORKSHOP - DISCUSSION ON ESTALISHING PRORIOTIES FOR US OF Finance Director Uyeda said the City recently passed a 1% district sales tax to generate funds to help the General Fund. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) has announced that it will go into effect April 1, 2019 however the funds won't be available until September of this year. The Measure specifically listed the use of proceeds for a new police department, public safety equipment; especially the replacement of police vehicles which require excessive amount of maintenance. Anotherissue is CalPERS unfunded liability which continues to be a major expenditure that will only increase in the coming years. CalPERS reduced their projection by $20,000; the City paid the entire amount off at the beginning of the year, which saved the City approximately $12,000 in interest. He said the City has an opportunity to improve public safety, its streets and roads, meet the previously unforeseen negative effects oft the CalPERS unfunded liability and increase its reserve funds. Mr. Uyeda apportioned funds for the police building and is currently looking into grants and loans to help supplement the building and outfitting costs. Mayor Pro Tem Hammer opened the matter for public comment. Steve Barela, Fowler resident, expressed that the funds should be used for public safety since that is what it was specifically listed for. Tomas Carrasco, Fowler resident, agrees that the lions share should go  THE DISTRICT SALES TAXI PROCEEDS    directly to public safety.
