San Jose Water Company (SJWC) filed Advice Letter 569 requesting authorization from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to activate Stage 3 of its Schedule 14.1 Water Shortage Contingency Plan. Schedule 14.1 allows for mandatory water use reductions and drought surcharges during drought emergencies. SJWC is seeking to activate Stage 3 in response to emergency drought conditions in Santa Clara County. The activation would establish a minimum monthly water allocation and surcharges for customers exceeding 15% of their 2019 usage to encourage conservation. SJWC held a public meeting on October 28th to provide information and receive feedback regarding the request. The CPUC will review the request and determine if authorization is reasonable.
The City of Monte Sereno strongly objects to San Jose Water Company's (SJWC) request for a total $88 million rate increase over three years. The letter argues SJWC has not used past rate increases efficiently and requests the CPUC deny any increases until SJWC benchmarks against other utilities. It also urges analyzing SJWC's financials to justify infrastructure spending and considering large past increases have far outpaced inflation, hurting residents. The city believes protecting consumers from unreasonable rate hikes is the CPUC's duty.

The document summarizes Anna Eshoo's positions on key issues as a member of Congress representing California's 18th district. It discusses her work on issues like responding to wildfires, protecting the US Postal Service, addressing the COVID pandemic, reforming policing practices, lowering healthcare and prescription drug costs, protecting reproductive rights, addressing the housing crisis, enacting gun safety laws, reforming immigration policies, and closing partisan divisions. The document provides details on legislation she has introduced or supported regarding each issue area.
This project by the Santa Clara Valley Water District aims to clean up homeless encampments along creeks to reduce water contamination and protect water infrastructure. It coordinates with local agencies and non-profits to address environmental issues caused by encampments while also connecting homeless individuals with social services. The project has exceeded its commitment of 52 annual cleanups by conducting over 400 cleanups per year and removing nearly 1,000 tons of trash and debris. Funding comes from voter-approved water management funds and additional allocations to address rising demands and safety concerns for cleanup crews.
The document is a letter from the City of Palo Alto commenting on the Plan Bay Area 2050 Final Blueprint and Draft RHNA Methodology. Some key points made in the letter include:
- Palo Alto supports the objectives of PBA50 but has concerns about the housing allocation and job growth projections.
- Palo Alto has taken many steps to promote more housing and improve jobs-housing balance, including capping office development growth.
- The RHNA numbers and housing projections for Palo Alto remain unrealistic given its size and limited redevelopment opportunities.
- PBA50's job and housing projections should incorporate Palo Alto's office development cap and allow for increased long-term telecommuting
The document raises several issues with the Quito Village SB35 project that may disqualify it from streamlined approval under SB35. It discusses easements on the property that would require separate agency approval to vacate. It also notes that the project includes a vesting tentative map that would require Planning Commission approval and findings after public hearings. Further, the document states that the project did not provide required Phase I and Phase II environmental assessments, and the site was listed on EPA databases for hazardous materials due to a dry cleaner previously on the site, which could disqualify it from SB35 if not remediated. The author urges the Planning Department to address these issues to fully review the project's eligibility for streamlined approval.
California 2021 redistricting preview the cook political reportRishi Kumar
This document provides a preview of California's 2021 redistricting process. It notes that California is projected to lose one of its 53 congressional seats. An independent redistricting commission will redraw district boundaries, without regard for incumbents, based on 2020 Census data and public hearings. The document analyzes how population changes could affect various districts, with Los Angeles County likely to see the biggest changes due to slower growth. It also speculates on potential impacts to competitive Central Valley and Northern California districts.
The document summarizes several California bills related to community development and housing from 2020. Key bills discussed include AB 725, which requires jurisdictions like Saratoga to zone for more moderate and above-moderate income housing, AB 168 relating to tribal consultation for housing projects, and AB 2345 which increases density bonuses for affordable housing developments. The document also outlines bills on accessory dwelling units, COVID-19 extensions for housing approvals, and transit and infrastructure projects.
The California Senate has introduced a housing package of 10 bills to address the state's severe housing crisis. The package aims to create more affordable housing and homeownership opportunities through measures like establishing a housing bond, allowing residential development on commercial lots, streamlining environmental reviews, and increasing flexibility for homeowners to build additional units. The bills together comprise a comprehensive approach to boost housing production and stabilize housing for vulnerable groups.
This document provides an overview of several key housing laws and legislation in California, including:
The Housing Accountability Act, which limits a local government's ability to deny or reduce the density of residential projects.
The Density Bonus Law, which seeks to relax development standards for qualifying projects in exchange for designated affordable units or senior housing.
Streamlined Ministerial Approval (SB 35), which allows for by-right approval of projects in jurisdictions not meeting housing needs allocation goals.
The Housing Crisis Act of 2019, which prohibits actions that would reduce housing density or intensity and streamlines the approval process.
The Housing Element Law, which requires cities and counties to plan and zone for sufficient affordable housing to
The City of Saratoga must update its Housing Element to plan for a significant increase in the number of housing units needed between 2023-2031. The draft regional housing needs allocation from the Association of Bay Area Governments assigns Saratoga a goal of 1,712 new housing units, up from 439 units in the previous period. This draft allocation breaks down units needed by income level: 454 very low income units, 261 low income units, 278 moderate income units and 719 above moderate income units. City staff will work with the City Council to identify adequate sites to meet this goal and submit the updated Housing Element to the state for review and certification by 2023.
This document provides an overview of Saratoga's Housing Element update process. It discusses the requirements to plan for housing needs, the draft Regional Housing Needs Allocation of 1,712 units across income levels, and the components of the Housing Element including site inventory, goals and policies. It notes a shortage of 1,162 units based on current sites and estimates. The document outlines next steps such as engaging the community on priorities and a timeline for adoption.
New Flightpath affecting Santa Cruz (and Santa Clara county) Rishi Kumar
The FAA proposes to amend two air traffic arrival procedures serving San Francisco International Airport and San Jose International Airport. As part of the review process under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, the FAA is consulting with the County of Santa Cruz on identifying historic properties within the undertaking's area of potential effect. The letter defines the proposed flight procedure amendments, delineates the area of potential effect based on current flight track data, and provides maps showing the area of potential effect and flight track data. It initiates consultation on identifying historic properties that could experience adverse effects from the undertaking.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

With this advice letter, SJWC requests authorization to activate its Schedule 14.1.
These tariffs are submitted pursuant to General Orders (GO) No. 96-B Water Industry Rules 7.3.2.
This advice letter is designated as a Tier II Advice Letter.
Background
SJWC filed Advice Letters (AL) 563 and 564 on June 18, 2021 in response to Valley Water’s
emergency drought declaration and request for 15% mandatory conservation from 2019
consumption. AL 563, which requested authorization to update and activate Stage 3 of Rule 14.1,
was approved effective August 5, 2021. AL 564, which requested authorization to establish a
Water Conservation Memorandum Account (WCMA) and a Water conservation Expense
Memorandum Account (WCEMA), was approved effective July 19, 2021.
On August 5, 2021, SJWC filed AL 567 to update its Schedule 14.1 to align the stages of
Conservation Non-Essential or Unauthorized Uses with the stages in Rule 14.1. In the same filing,
SJWC also requested to update its Drought Allocation and Drought Surcharges Program. This
advice letter was approved with an effective date of September 6, 2021.
Request
With this filing, SJWC requests authorization to activate Stage 3 of Schedule 14.1 and its
associated Drought Allocations and Drought Surcharges program.

ADVICE LETTER NO. 569
Page 2
The current water supply outlook for Santa Clara County and the State is grim. Reservoirs are as
low as they have ever been for this time of year and La Nina conditions, which usually portend
below average precipitation, is predicted for this fall and winter. The activation of Schedule 14.1 is
necessary in order to achieve the required mandatory conservation and to blunt further calls for
conservation in 2022 should dry conditions persist.
All drought allocation surcharges will be tracked in the WCMA authorized in Advice Letter 564.
The surcharges will offset the expense and revenue impacts of SJWC’s response to the drought
tracked in the WCMA. Any under or over collection in these accounts will be amortized in
accordance with the Commission’s practice.
Effective Date
SJWC requests that the updated tariff sheets become effective November 15, 2021.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
SAN JOSE WATER COMPANY’S
ADVICE LETTER 569
How can I participate?
San Jose Water Company (SJWC) would like to hear from you. You are invited to participate in a
Public Meeting regarding SJWC’s Advice Letter 569.
Where and when will this Public Meeting be held?
DATE TIME VIRTUAL/REMOTE DETAILS
October 28, 2021 3:00PM PST Link: https://sjw.im/drought2021
The public meeting can be viewed via Zoom, or listened to via phone by using the information
above. If you wish to make a public comment or ask a question, you will be able to do this via the
Q&A at the meeting. If you call in by phone, we will answer questions at the end of the meeting.
Your feedback can help the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) make an informed
decision.
Why am I receiving this notice?
On October 15, 2021, SJWC filed Advice Letter 569 with the CPUC requesting authorization to
activate Schedule 14.1 of our Water Shortage Contingency Plan.
Why is SJWC requesting authorization to activate Schedule 14.1?
SJWC is seeking authorization to activate Schedule 14.1 in response to the emergency drought
conditions currently experienced in Santa Clara County. Schedule 14.1 compliments our Rule 14.1
with the addition of drought surcharges or penalties for overuse during times of drought emergencies
requiring mandatory water use reductions.
The currently approved Schedule 14.1 was prepared in response to the previous drought from 2015-
2017. The approved updates to the Drought Allocations and Drought Surcharges program take into
account current water supply conditions, Valley Water’s call for conservation, and the lessons
learned from the Schedule 14.1 activations in 2015 and in the early 1990’s.
Our updated plan recognizes the efforts of those customers who have and continue to conserve,
while encouraging others to do the same. The proposed updates set a minimum consumption number
at which drought surcharges would not apply as shown in the table below. Residential customers
whose consumption falls below the system-wide monthly drought allocation, currently calculated, as
85% of the system-wide monthly average, will not incur drought surcharges.
9. Those consuming above the minimum monthly drought allocations will be required to conserve 15%
of their actual monthly consumption from 2019 to avoid drought surcharges. For those who incur
drought surcharges, any units of water above the monthly drought allocation will be charged
at the Tier 3 rate in effect, currently $7.13 per unit, in addition to the charges at regular rates
for all units of water consumed.
In line with the focus on reducing outdoor water usage, the monthly drought allocations will also
apply to dedicated landscape customers. These customers will need to reduce their monthly
consumption by 15% of 2019’s usage to avoid drought surcharges. Any amounts above 85% of
2019’s consumption will be assessed surcharges at the Tier 3 rate currently in effect, in addition to
the charges at regular rates for all units consumed.
How could this affect my water bill?
This filing will have no impact on current water rates. However, customers who consume more than
the minimum baseline above and do not conserve 15% of their 2019 usage, will incur surcharges
which will increase their bill.
How does the rest of this process work?
This filing will be reviewed by staff in the Water Division of the CPUC. They will determine if the
request is reasonable and determine if modifications are necessary.
Protests and Responses to Advice Letter #569
The deadline to protest this advice letter is November 4, 2021. Please include “Advice Letter
#569” in any response or protest you submit.
The reasons for the protest can be one of the following:
