2016 NACo ANNUAL CONFERENCE COMMITTEE MEETINGS Open to All Conference Attendees Have you ever attended a NACo Committee Meeting or Subcommittee Meeting at NACo’s Annual Conference? The meetings take place on Friday, July 23 and Saturday, July 24 and you don’t have to be a member of the committee to attend! All committee and subcommittee meetings are open to every conference participant! NACo has ten policy steering committees and most of them have multiple subcommittees. These committees, whose members are county officials nominated by the state associations of counties, advise the NACo Board of Directors on the wide range of programs and policies that impact county governments. Each steering committee engages with the congressional committees and federal agencies that set policy for the programs they cover. The steering committees provide the forum for NACo’s members to vet the federal advocacy policies and priorities for the association. Only committee members can vote on action items before the committee, yet all NACo members are encouraged to attend to hear updates on federal legislative and policy issues that impact counties and share their opinions on current or emerging issues. Committee speakers will brief NACo members on issues such as cyber-security, internet sales tax, broadband, agriculture and rural development, health and human services (including Medicaid), community and economic development, justice and public safety, immigration and much more!

Healthy Foods/Healthy Communities: Leveraging Local Assets to Increase Access to Healthy Foods Local and regional food systems play an important role in the overall health of a community and local economy. Over the past year, NACo’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Steering Committee has examined the critical role counties play in creating and maintaining a regional/local food system. On April 5, the LA County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed the final ordinance and program details of the Urban Agriculture Incentive Zone Program. Through this program, property owners can lease their land to farm or community garden operators in order to receive a reduction on property taxes. This program is designed to increase access to local fresh fruits and vegetables while revitalizing blighted and vacant lots in an urban environment. This session will examine how local officials coordinated with community organizations to simultaneously increase access to land and healthy foods - two major needs within the county jurisdiction.  Ms. Clare Fox, Executive Director, LA Food Policy Council Local Foods/Local Workforce: Strengthening Rural Economies through Value-Added Incubators The U.S. Commerce Department’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) has invested millions of dollars for new advances in food entrepreneurship across the country. These investments in agribusiness incubators have strengthened local food systems and subsequently the local economy. This session will examine the various investments in local food systems and how counties and leverage these federal resources to strengthen the local economy.  Mr. Nathan Ohle, Senior Advisor, Economic Development Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce NACo Committee Staff Liaison: Arthur Scott, Associate Legislative Director, 202.942.4230 or [email protected]

Meeting Agenda Call to Order and Welcome Drought: National Lessons Learned from the California Drought For the past several years, California has undergone a record-breaking drought. In January 2015, Governor Jerry Brown declared California in a drought State of Emergency and imposed strict water conservation measures. While California residents and businesses were able to slash water use dramatically, there were unintended consequences. This session will provide various perspectives for county officials to consider when drought programs are implemented in their state. Specifically, the committee will discuss: the science of drought and where it is occurring, potential ideas for combatting drought, and federal programs on drought. Additionally, we will examine the lessons learned from the California drought and how those lessons can be applied to other areas of the country. Please join us as we examine the many facets associated with drought and its impact to counties.

Committee members will also hear an update on the latest NACo resources and projects.  Mr. Michael Belarmino, Associate Legislative Director, NACo Business Tax Compliance Issues Facing Government Programs Today The taxes and fees collected by counties are the lifeblood of county operations, but most counties – like their city and state counterparts – rely on self-reported business information. The level of reporting compliance for business taxes has a significant impact on county revenues. Dr. Lappenbusch will present findings from a Governing Institute research study that will highlight the problem of non-compliance and how it impacts state and local governments. He will also discuss how analytics, advanced linking technology and public records can be used to determine if a business is noncompliant.  Dr. Steve Lappenbusch, Tax and Revenue Markets, LexisNexis Risk Solutions

Help America Vote Act Review and Election Mandate Discussion During the 2016 NACo Legislative Conference, a robust discussion took place regarding the mandates counties face as a result of their role as the administrator of elections at the local level. Per the committee’s request, the discussion is set to resume at the Annual Conference with additional information on the mandates imposed by the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). For this discussion, the committee will be joined by current commissioners of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) – the bipartisan commission charged with overseeing HAVA implementation.  Ms. Kristina Swanson, Auditor, Cowlitz County, Wash.  Mr. Thomas Hicks, Chairman, U.S. Election Assistance Commission  Mr. Matt Masterson, Commissioner, U.S. Election Assistance Commission The Future of Voting Technology As a result of state legislation enacted in 2014, California county election officials are now able to develop, own and operate voting systems that meet their own unique needs, and hopefully be able to reduce their dependency on a very limited number of voting system vendors. During this session, committee members will hear about two approaches to addressing the need for cost-effective, secure and transparent voting systems. Committee members will also have the opportunity to see the latest prototype developed by Los Angeles County for their voting systems modernization project. Los Angeles County Voting Systems Assessment Project  Mr. Dean Logan, Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, Los Angeles County  Ms. Monica Flores, Project Coordinator, Los Angeles County California Association of Voting Officials  Mr. Brent Turner, Secretary, California Association of Voting Officials Navigating Intergovernmental Agreements Between County and Tribal Governments Many counties across the country have tribal communities within and adjacent to their borders. This generally calls for fostering a working relationship between the county and tribal government since their respective communities share many of the same needs, such as public safety, infrastructure and health. This working relationship is often manifested in intergovernmental agreements. This discussion will focus on what works – as well as what sometimes doesn’t – during the negotiation process.  Mr. Christopher A. Lee, Legislative Analyst – Housing, Land Use & Transportation, California State Association of Counties Implementation of the Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) Program The Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA) is the first operational partnership activity of the 2020 Census. The LUCA was designed based on requirements specified in the Census Address List Improvement Act of 1994 that provides an opportunity for designated representatives of local, state and tribal governments to review the addresses used to conduct the decennial census. Although first carried out in 1998/99, the Census Bureau continues to stress participation in the program as this is the only opportunity local governments have to review the Master Address File prior to the next Census in 2020.  Dr. Carrie Hritz, Supervisory Geographer and Branch Chief, Partnership Communication and Outreach Branch, Geography Division, U.S. Census Bureau

Meeting Agenda Welcome and Introductions Advocating to Improve the Health of Justice-Involved Populations NACo’s Health Steering Committee has engaged in multiple advocacy efforts to improve the health of individuals who come in and out of county jails. One of these efforts has involved encouraging states and counties to suspend, instead of terminating, Medicaid for those entering our county jails so their benefits can be immediately reinstated upon release. Hear how one member of Congress, who is a member of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over health and Medicaid issues, is utilizing his platform and past experience in state and local government to help lead efforts to protect the health of individuals in our criminal justice system, especially our youth.  The Hon. Tony Cárdenas, U.S. Representative, California’s 29th District

Meeting Agenda Welcome and Introductions The Local Law Enforcement Response to the Opioid Crisis The rising rates of opioid abuse and overdose in local communities present many difficult questions for local leaders working to shape an effective response. One such question is what role local law enforcement agencies should play in communities’ efforts to curb opioid abuse. Further, how should these agencies balance the dual objectives of combating the criminal elements of the opioid epidemic while also helping to address the associated public health crisis? We will explore these topics in a conversation with representatives from the National City-County Task Force on the Opioid Epidemic and national experts on the crisis.  Mr. Sam Quinones, Los Angeles-based journalist and author Short Film: “The Forgotten Floor” – Forgotten Floor Reformed Several years ago, TV reporter Michelle Gillen and Judge Steve Leifman exposed the deplorable conditions of the 9th floor of the Miami-Dade County Jail, which housed inmates struggling with mental illness. The Forgotten Floor news film represented a worst-case scenario of criminal justice practices and a jail’s approach to mental health issues within its inmate population. Documented in this new film coverage “Forgotten Floor Reformed,” is significant reform by stakeholders prioritizing mental health treatment practices in corrections From deplorable practices to a celebrated national model, we will view this new, short news film and discuss the highlighted criminal justice reform efforts.

By 2055, the U.S. will not have a single racial or ethnic majority. As we move towards becoming a “majority-minority” nation, local governments and their leaders play a pivotal role in determining how well immigrant populations integrate into their new communities. Successful integration benefits not only immigrant populations, but the community as a whole. In this session, local leaders from Los Angeles and national experts on immigrant integration will join the Task Force to discuss the changing demographics of the U.S. and the role of local leaders in shaping the country in the coming decades and beyond.  Dr. Raul Hinojosa-Ojeda, Associate Professor and Director, North American Integration and Development Center, University of California Los Angeles  The Hon.

Greetings from NACo Second Vice President Candidates Roundtable Discussion: Health, Behavioral Health & Criminal Justice System Transformation in Urban Counties Recently, counties have been accelerating their efforts to promote community health, mental health and public safety. Urban counties have been at the forefront, breaking down silos, identifying evidence-based interventions and funding and implementing strategies to improve outcomes for vulnerable populations, including the complex cases of their justice-involved population. Come prepared to share your county’s story with your LUCC colleagues in a moderated roundtable discussion on health, behavioral health and criminal justice system transformation focusing on your attempts at innovative, and disruptive, reforms.  Moderator: Mr. Bernard Wolfson, Managing Editor, California Healthline/Kaiser Health News Documentary Film Screening Resilience: The Biology of Stress and the Science of Hope Resilience is a one-hour documentary that delves into the science of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the birth of a new movement to treat and prevent toxic stress. Now understood to be one of the leading causes of everything from heart disease and cancer to substance abuse and depression, extremely stressful experiences in childhood can alter brain development and have lifelong effects on health and behavior. However, as experts and practitioners profiled in Resilience are proving, what is predictable is preventable. These physicians, educators, social workers and communities are daring to talk about the effects of divorce, abuse and neglect. And they are using cutting edge science to help the next generation break the cycles of adversity and disease.

Los Angeles River Revitalization Project— Mobile Workshop SUNDAY, JULY 24, 12:00 PM—5:00 PM * Please wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes. Portions of the tour will be outdoors. (Pre-registration required)

Tour Agenda The Los Angeles River, best known for its concrete-lined ditches, has been neglected over the years. But now, plans are afoot to transform the river into a vibrant ecosystem, which in turn, will revitalize local communities. Through a joint effort among LA County, the City of Los Angeles and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the LA River Revitalization Master Plan aims to create a safe environment with more open space, improved natural resource stewardship and flood protection, increased jobs and economic development and enhanced civic pride. During this tour, participants will join the USACE to see how they plan to restore an 11-mile section of the Los Angeles River. The tour will focus on plans to re-establish riparian marsh areas and restore aquatic habitat ecosystems and how the project overcame challenges.

11:45 AM – 12:00 PM Load Buses – Box Lunches will be provided for participants 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM

Drive to Taylor Yard, the first stop on the tour

1:00 PM—1:45 PM

Welcome and Tour of Taylor Yard Taylor Yard is a former industrial railroad maintenance facility and is now the “crown jewel” of the Los Angeles Ecosystem Restoration project. Essentially vacant since the mid-1990’s, Taylor Yard is the largest undeveloped site, stretching along the Los Angeles River. Last year, the City of Los Angeles acquired the site and this space will be transformed into a transit-oriented mixeduse development with natural features and pedestrian amenities along the river.  Mr. Eduardo DeMesa, Chief, Planning Division, USACE, Los Angeles, Calif.  Captain Eugene Park, U.S. Army; Assistant Civil Works Branch Chief, USACE, Los Angeles, Calif.

1:45 PM—2:00 PM

Load Buses—drive to Arroyo Seco

Page 64 of 77 Compilation Dcoument 2016 NACo Annual Conference

2:00 PM—2:45 PM

Tour of Arroyo Seco The Arroyo Seco is a 22-mile natural tributary which flows into the Los Angeles River. However, in the 1930s and 1940s, the river was lined in concrete to provide a mechanism to remove stormwater from the community. The lower part of the Arroyo Seco in Los Angeles is extensively urbanized and the Corps is working to improve habitat, water quality and increase open space along this corridor.

2:45 PM—3:00 PM

Load Buses—drive to Los Angeles Trailer and Container (LATC) Intermodal Facility

3:00 PM—3:45 PM

Tour of the Los Angeles Trailer and Container (LATC) Intermodal Facility Like Taylor Yard, LATC is also a previous railyard. Due to soil contamination, the site is not a candidate for new construction. Instead, the Los Angeles region is assessing whether this largest open space area adjacent to the Los Angeles River would be viable for habitat restoration projects.

4:00 PM—5:00 PM

Load Buses—Return to Los Angeles Convention and Entertainment Center
