TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Mayor Mary Casler
AB3744 (BRADLEY)
I have learned that AB3744 (Bradley) will be heard by the
Senate Committee on Natural Resources at 7:00 PM, Monday,
July 2, 1984.
The bill still does eliminate the agricultural subsidy pro-
gram but has these conditions:
l. The "payers" still pay the designated amount.
a. 1/3 goes for improvements as determined by
City and Conservancy.
b. 2/3 which is designuted for subsidy will be
refunded at end of 5 years (2 more years) if
program is not working. No farmers have
applied to date.
2. Lands still are designated agriculture but will not
be "in perpetuity."
I feel we should approve 2 actions:
1. City Council support bill.
2. Authorize my going to Sacramento on July 2 to speak
for it.
