September 3, 2020 Page 5 Callis reported on plans for the upcoming Labor Day Drive -In Concert; Board members will be receiving their tickets via email. She is working with the Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce and local restaurants for "Picnic in the Park" events at Conejo Creek North on Thursday evenings during the month of September. She referenced the latest edition of Recreation Highlights provided the Board members this evening. Staff is working on a Halloween event, perhaps implementing a drive- thru option. She has visited all the" Quaranteam" childcare programs and they are running very well. The Therapeutics Unit is doing distanced learning with the kids; they are also helping patrons with school on their computers. There are two groups; one at Crowley House and one at Old Meadows. Staff hours continue to be impacted due to COVID; Callis referenced some statistical information provided the Board that showed the cost recovery percentages for the last three years. C. Management Services Division Report Smith reported on the unemployment impacts to the CRPD budget for FY 19-20 which was approximately $100K; the District was reimbursed half of that amount by the state due to federal legislation. This means that the $500K estimate for FY 20-21 will likely be closer to $250K. She reported on how Prop 15 would affect the District if it passes. The potential new property tax revenue for Ventura could be between $135 and $170 million per year. After costs, 6% would go to CRPD. In 2028 (end of the 5 -year phase in period), it is estimated about $4 M would go to CRPD each year provided current funding formulas remain in effect. Funds could start coming in as soon as FY 23-24. D. General Manager's Report Friedl referenced an article in today's "Thousand Oaks Acorn" reporting that the California Special District Association (CSDA) had bestowed two local awards.. one to the District (recognizing advocacy and outreach efforts) and one to Chair Lange (Board member of the Year). A representative from CSDA will attend the next Board meeting to make the formal presentations. The California Legislative session has ended; there is not much to report as some of their sessions were suspended due to the pandemic. Friedl formally terminated the Porter Bill lease with CalTrans today. The property was cleaned up of litter and fencing repaired. Due to COVID-related policies discouraging the moving of unhoused persons, several homeless encampments remain on the property; that will remain an issue for CalTrans. 7.
