#372
Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that, beginning next year,
California vehicle license plates will begin sporting a new color
scheme: red, white and blue.
The plates will be reflectorized, and will be embossed with a
combination of seven letters and numbers instead of the six now in use.
As a first step in the transformation, the state is calling for
bids on 7.5 million blank reflectorized plates.
"I believe adopting our nation's colors is especially appropriate
at this time because, by 1976, when the United States celebrates its
bicentennial year, the red, white and blue plates will be appearing on
several million California cars,' Governor Reagan said.
The addition of another number anticipates the steady increase in
vehicles registered in California. Today's total of more than 15 million
will be approaching 20 million by 1980.
The state will not recall either the blue and gold plates or the
black and gold plates now in use. Both will remain valid during the
lifetimes of the vehicles that bear them. During the next 18 months the
Department of Motor Vehicles will continue to issue the blue and gold
plates now in stock.
Some overlapping will take place because the DMV intends to issue
the first red, white and blue plates late next summer to state-owned
vehicles and those belonging to local governments. Then in December they
will begin to appear on privately owned trucks, buses, trailers and
motorcycles.
The reflectorized background of each plate will be a silvery white.
Letters and numbers will be stencilled in blue, and the word "California"
will be red.
Because DMV issues upward of two million sets of plates per year,
the new colors will be widely visible on California highways in a
comparatively short time.
The task of processing the plates will continue to be a Department
of Corrections responsibility with the work accomplished at Folsom Prison.
Reflectorized license plates were authorized last year by a change in
the state Vehicle Code authored by Senator Jack Schrade (R-San Diego).

Governor Ronald Reagan today vetoed legislation that would have
repealed part of California's relatives' responsibility law, and directed
the state Department of Social Welfare to revise its regulations to
eliminate inequities in administering the statute.
The bill, AB 57, introduced by Assemblyman Joe A. Gonsalves
(D-La Mirada), would have repealed the responsible relatives' provisions
existing under the state's Old Age Security program.
"During past months numerous complaints have been lodged against the
relatives' responsibility law," Governor Reagan said. "However, they have
not been directed against the concept of adult children contributing to
the support of their aged needy parents but at specific sections of the
law as it is administered.
"Included in the complaints are charges that amounts levied against
adult children are too high; the law has been applied inconsistently by
counties; and, costs of administration are too high.
"The measure I am vetoing today does not address these pressing
problems. It offers no solutions and proposes the extreme action of
outright repeal."
Governor Reagan said adult children who are financially able should
contribute to the support of their needy parents "but on a fair and
equitable basis.
"Consequently, Governor Reagan said, "I am instructing the state
Department of Social Welfare to immediately revise its regulations to:
"1. Change the effective date of liability to the first of the month
in which responsible relatives are first billed." (Some relatives have
received their first bill for more than one month resulting in a large
first payment).
"2. Expand hardship exemptions to include full cost of medical and
dental care, funeral expenses, educational expenses of responsible
relatives and their children, and other similar financial hardships aa
determined by the director of Social Welfare." (Under present regulations,
medical expenses must exceed three percent of the responsible relatives'
monthly income to qualify as an exemption. Payments to meet court ordered
judgments, garnishments, child support or alimony are now exemptions).
"3. Limit the responsible child's liability to his prorated share
based on the ability of all children in the family to pay. (If two of
three children fail to pay now, the third is billed the full amount).
"In addition, I will seek legislation to limit the responsible child's
liability to no more than the parent's assistance grant divided by the
total number of children in the family. This will create a true fair
share determination of liability.
"The integrity of our welfare program demands that responsible
relatives help support their parents. The general taxpaying public should
not be asked to assume the burden of supporting parents whose children
have the ability and legitimate responsibility to assist in meeting their
needs. "

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced California has received
$24,057,700 in federal funds to support Summer Neighborhood Youth Corps
programs and, as a result, he has vetoed legislation that would have
provided state money for the projects.
The legislation, Senate Bill 700, introduced by Senator Milton Marks
(R-San Francisco), would have appropriated $24,600,000 in state funds
for the programs.
In his veto message, Governor Reagan said:
"This bill would appropriate $24,600,000 to support existing
programs in the Summer Neighborhood Youth Corps. Federal funds had been
impounded and it appeared California would have no federal support for
this summer's youth opportunities programs. However, a federal district
court in New Jersey ordered federal officials to release money to the
states and on July 11, 1973, the U.S. Department of Labor released
$24,057,700 to California for summer youth programs. Thus, the problem
to which SB 700 is addressed no longer exists.
"Moreover, Section 1 of SB 700 refers to the proposed 1973-74
federal budget, rather than the 1972-73 federal budget. Under this
language, there is doubt as to whether the bill is directed to the
financing problem for this summer, or instead could provide an additional
$24,600,000 on top of the federal funds just released. This could occur
if federal funding under the 1973-74 federal budget is not forthcoming
to finance summer youth programs for the summer of 1974.
"I have met and conferred with numerous California mayors on the
youth employment programs and agree with them that they are in the best
interests of all Californians. I support funding for this year's program.
In the event federal funding is affected by any further litigation, I
would reconsider any later bill for supplementary state funding.
"At this time, SB 700 is not needed. Federal funds have been
provided to support the program this summer. Accordingly, I am returning
the bill unsigned."

Governor Ronald Reagan, making good on a pledge he made last
December, today signed legislation granting an additional $65 million
in state support for California's community colleges. It is the largest
single increase in state funds ever granted the community college system.
The legislation, SB 6, introduced by Senator Alfred E. Alquist
(D-San Jose) and supported by the Reagan administration, boosts state
support of the 96 two-year schools from $201 million to $266 million
during the 1973-74 fiscal year. It increases the state's share of
support from approximately 34 percent to 41 percent.
Since 1967, Governor Reagan has signed legislation which had the
combined effect of increasing state support by $43 per ADA (Average
Daily Attendance). This latest legislation increases ADA support by
approximately $107 for an average of $940 per ADA, including state and
local monies. Regular, full-time student aid will go to $1020 per ADA,
while the ADA support for part-time students over 21 years of age will
be $556, for an average of $940.
Average Daily Attendance in the community colleges has increased by
81 percent since 1966-67 fiscal year while state support has increased
more than 195 percent during the same period.
In December of last year, Governor Reagan vetoed SB 95, introduced
by Senator Alquist, which would have raised the level of state support
by more than $100 million. In his veto message, the governor promised
to help eliminate technical difficulties in the Alquist measure and to
review the complex problems of community college financing.
His veto message said, in part
"SB 95 as it was enacted by the
legislature was expected to cost approximately $60 million. As a
consequence of some chaptering problems with Senate Bill 90, (the 1972
Reagan-Moretti property tax relif measure) the estimated cost as it was
delivered to my desk was approximately $111 million. I think it is
appropriate that this bill be returned to the legislature so that they
may again fully review the issue of community college financial aid during
the 1973 legislative session
Governor Reagan said the new legislation includes provisions to
increase the state contribution for community college education by an
annual inflation factor. The amount as stated in the bill will increase
program support for community colleges by $60 per student in 1974-75, $63
per student in 1975-76 and $66 per student thereafter.
In addition, the legislation includes the revenue controls found in
SB 90, which place a limitation on local tax rates and lower property
taxes in 50 of the state's 68 community college districts. (see attached
list).
Provisions are also included to eliminate basic aid for out-of-state
students, and for the reexamination of the schools' attendance accounting
procedures. The governor said the latter provision is an essential
element in the bill since the measure authorized "the expenditure of
additional state funds of this magnitude.'

Governor Ronald Reagan today said he was "very pleased" with the
announcement from Washington that HEW Secretary Caspar Weinberger has
given full approval to California's controversial Community Work
Experience Program (CWEP).
"We have been having considerable success with our programs for job-
capable welfare recipients," Reagan said. "Every program that moves
actual or potential welfare recipients into real jobs benefits not only
the individual, but also the economy and the taxpayer.
"CWEP has helped people who are usually in the category of
'chronically unemployed men and women who have a desire to be self-
sufficient, but have social, educational or vocational handicaps which
make it difficult for them to find and hold jobs. By providing
comprehensive employment training services, including actual work
experience for people who may have had little experience in a structured
work environment with a supervisor, the program has significantly improved
their job-getting potential.
"CWEP also provides an incentive to those few welfare recipients who
would rather live off the earnings of others than support themselves, even
though they are capable of performing an honest day's work. When given
the option of finding regular employment or performing public service jobs
for their welfare check, they often leave the welfare rolls entirely."
The governor noted that CWEP has repeatedly been challenged in the
courts and the legislature, yet statistically the program continually
shows success.
"The movement of welfare recipients off the public assistance rolls
into self-supporting employment is running at a rate of 45.5 percent in
counties with CWEP contracts as compared to just under 11 percent in
nonparticipating counties," Reagan explained.
Earl Brian, Secretary of California's Health and Welfare Agency, said
that 16 counties are currently participating in the CWEP pilot project.
Eventually, 35 of California's 58 counties will participate in the pilot
project.
In explaining the percentages quoted by Reagan, Brian pointed out that
in the CWEP pilot project counties, 17,520 welfare recipients were
registered for employment and 8,077 of them were placed in regular
employment situations. An additional 3,115 were placed in job-training
programs and another 1,827 were placed in work experience projects.
In nonparticipating counties, Brian noted, 33,626 were placed on self-
sustaining jobs of the 306,2 welfare recipients registered for work.
Brian also explained that the CWEP pilot project's priorities are
first, to get recipients into meaningful jobs; second, to provide job
training; third, to provide a work experience.

#394
Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that he has signed major
legislation to eliminate technical problems resulting from last year's
school finance and property tax relief (SB 90) measure.
The bill, AB 1267, is a compromise worked out among its authors,
Assemblyman Joe A. Gonsalves and Assembly Speaker Bob Moretti, the State
Department of Finance, the Department of Education, California Teachers
Association, California School Boards, Association and the California
School Administrators Association.
Governor Reagan said the bill was necesary to make workable the school
finance sections of SB 90, approved by the legislature in 1972. The new
law provides additional monies for educating California school students
while still providing major property tax relief.
Under the provisions of SB 90, funded by a penny increase in the sales
tax, the state's school districts, kindergarten through the 12th grade,
were to receive approximately $225 million in new state funds. In addition,
the districts' property tax school rates were to be rolled back $229
million.
However, after computing recent data on enrollments, assessed valuation
and the districts' tax rates, it was found that state funding of schools
would fall short of the $225 million by approximately $43 million, and the
property tax rollback would exceed the $229 million agreed to in SB 90 by
nearly $111 million.
The new statute provides readjustment of the formulas in SB 90, and
gives $235 million in new state support for the schools and reduces
property taxes in the school districts by $280 million.
This was accomplished in large part by permitting school districts to
increase their expenditures by $5 per student (average daily attendance)
from $65 to $70 in the additional state support provided by SB 90.
Thenew law permits school districts with declining enrollments, such
as Los Angeles, to increase their property tax rates for a one year
period to offset a proportion of the loss in state support if their
enrollments decrease by more than one percent a year.
In addition, it allows school districts the option to receive credit
for reserve funds spent in 1972-73 or to spend up to the maximum tax
rates previously approved by the voters.
The new law puts California in the position of meeting the objectives
of the Serrano decision by the California Supreme Court. The court ruled
in 1971 that varying expenditures for public school students violated the
equal protection guarantees of the U.S. Constitution.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced he has signed legislation,
AB 2530, authored by Assemblyman Robert E. Badham (R-Newport Beach), to
provide an adjustment in the property tax rates of Tustin, Saddleback
Valley and Irvine Unified School Districts in Orange County.
The three districts held a unification election in June 1972, and
voted tax rates of $3.90 for Tustin, $4.20 for Saddleback Valley and
$4.40 for Irvine. It was explained during the campaign that it was the
intention of the local school boards to also impose additional rates that
were then allowed by the state on a permissive basis.
In December of last year, when Governor Reagan signed SB 90, the
school finance and property tax relief measure, most of the permissive
overrides the boards had intended to impose were eliminated. As a result,
the districts faced serious fiscal problems.
The Badham bill provides that the school districts may impose, in
addition to the rates approved by the voters, a $1.50 levy for permissive
overrides. They may also impose, with the approval of the state
Superintendent of Public Instruction, an additional levy for inflation
that has occurred since June 30, 1971.
Governor Reagan said provisions of the Badham bill were unacceptable
because they would impose excessive rates. But after considerable
discussion with officials of the three school districts they have agreed
to impose general purpose property tax rates no greater than $4.75 per
$100 of assessed valuation for Tustin, $5.72 for Saddleback Valley, and
$5.84 for Irvine. The governor said letters have been received from the
superintendents of the districts stating that the maximum general purpose
rates will not exceed the above levels.
In addition, the superintendents of the districts have agreed that
legislation will be introduced this year placing the three school
districts under the provisions of SB 90 and AB 1267, the bill signed by
the governor earlier this week that eliminates technical problems in the
school finance and property tax statute.

The bill also authorizes redemption of outstanding

Governor Ronald Reagan today also announced the following bills
have been vetoed:
SB 588 Marks
Permits the organizational meeting of the governing
board of a community college district, the boundaries
of which are coterminous with those of a city and
county, to be held between January 8 and January 31,
rather than between July 1 and July 15. The bill
also provides that for purpose of state apportionment
and computing community college district revenue
limit, foreign students enrolled in a community
college class in English and citizenship for
foreigners shall be counted as resident students.
REASON FOR VETO:
"This bill appears to be technically deficient,
particularly with respect to the definition of
foreign students. There is a question as to whether
the bill would permit foreign students now classi-
fied as nonresidents to be counted in their school's
average daily attendance for the purpose of state
support. Questions arise also in this context as
to the effect of the bill on AB 666 (Chapter 1100)
of the 1972 Session.
"I am also concerned over the fact that this bill
apparently did not receive full legislative review
concerning its policy implications. The bill, as
introduced, related only to a technical organization-
al problem and was on the Senate Consent Calendar.
It was amended into its present form in the Assembly
during the closing moments prior to the recess of
the legislature.
"It should also be noted that community college
districts have received $65 million in additional
state aid through my approval of SB 6 (Chapter 209)
of the 1973 Session. The June 28 amendment to SB
588 raises problems in connection with the revenue
limitations included in SB 6, the implication of
which cannot be developed at this time.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned with
the commitment that the staff of the Department of
Finance will work with the author in an attempt to
mitigate this problem through legislation consistent
with the principles embodied in AB 666 and SB 6,
Governor Reagan said.
AB 29 Thurman
Permits individual contracting agencies under the
Public Employees' Retirement System to elect the
highest single year of compensation rather than the
highest three year average as the basis for payment
of retirement benefits for local safety and local
miscellaneous members.
- 3 -
#399
REASON FOR VETO:
Final compensation computa ons in a multiple
employer, multi-membership classification system,
such as the Public Employees' Retirement System,
must be uniform. Variations within the system
can only create excessive administrative burdens
and further aggravate the already complex problem
of estimating and funding future benefits.
"The present three year basis for computing retire-
ment benefits already is a very liberal provision
and I find no compelling evidence to support the need
for a different method of computing benefits for
classes of local government employees.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,"
Governor Reagan said.
AB 433 - Townsend
Provides increased industrial disability allowance
for totally disabled local safety members of the
Public Employees' Retirement System. The contracting
agency must elect to provide the increased allowance.
REAON FOR VETO:
"This bill would provide that a totally disabled
local safety member of the Public Employees'
Retirement System would receive an increase in his
industrial disability retirement allowance from 50
percent to 75 percent of final compensation. This
improved benefit would be optional to contracting
agencies, and the agency would bear the higher costs
"At the present time, the industrial disability
retirement program for "local safety members' in
cities which contract with the Public Employees'
Retirement System provides 50 percent of their
compensation as a retirement benefit. For other
employees who may be similarly injured on the job,
the retirement benefits are computed under a formula
which provides, in most cases, for a much lower
benefit.
"This bill further increases the growing disparity
in disability benefits between safety employees and
other categories of public employees who may suffer
the same or similar job-connected disabilities.
There has been no evidence that government is not
now meeting the disability needs of its safety
employees.
"Accordingly, I am returning the bill unsigned,"
Governor Reagan said.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced that Verne Orr, director of
the state Department of Finance, will lead a seven-man delegation to
Washington, D.C., tomorrow to plead the case of a salary increase for
state employees before the President's Cost of Living Council.
The delegation is scheduled to appear before the Council Thursday
morning.
"The increases we have asked for are justified and equitable,"
Governor Reagan said. "Our state employees, who I think are the best in
the world, deserve the increase. We will make every effort to see that
it is forthcoming."
Accompanying Orr to Washington will be Richard Camilli, executive
officer, and Frank Wood, member, State Personnel Board; Willard Shank,
deputy attorney general; William Drohan, assistant to the secretary for
employer-employee relations, Agriculture and Services Agency; George
Murphy, legislative counsel; and, Joseph L. Cowan, vice president for
administration, University of California at Berkeley.
They will represent more than 200,000 state, university, college and
legislative employees before the council.
Orr said the delegation will seek approval of an 11.9 percent average
salary increase for state employees, which was included in the 1973-74
budget approved by the legislature.
"According to comprehensive surveys made by the State Personnel Board,
and verified by an outside consulting firm (Cresap, McCormick and Paget
of San Francisco, the average increase of 11.9 percent is needed to bring
state employees up to the salary level paid by private industry and
business, and the federal government, Orr said.
/not
"State employees were given an increase in fiscal year 1971-72, and
received an average increase of 8.4 percent last year. If the Council
approves our request, the increases will range from 2½ to 20 percent,
depending upon how far the salary of a particular state position lags
behind its counterpart in private business or industry or the federal
government."
The Cost of Living Council challenged the increases July 5 on the
grounds they were inconsistent with the general wage and salary standards
under the President's economic stabilization program.

Governor Reagan has established a Governor's Cup to give annual
recognition to volunteers involved in California's Special Olympics for
the Mentally Retarded.
The cup will be presented by Lieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke at the
opening ceremonies of the California Special Olympics Saturday, July 21,
at U.C.L.A.'s track field in Los Angeles.
More than 2,000 youngsters between 8 and 19 will participate in the
Special Olympics as part of a nationwide program to assist the physical
and psychological development of retarded children.
Winners of sports contests held during the spring in 61 local meets
throughout the state will compete in 300 separate events in track and
field, swimming, gymnastics, and various team sports including basketball,
volleyball, and floor hockey.
"Positive experiences gained from these sports generate new confidenc
and self-mastery and help build personal images which are associated
with success" Reinecke said, "this has extremely valuable carryover into
their classrooms, homes, and everyday life."
Present with Lieutenant Governor Reinecke at the opening ceremonies
will be sports and entertainment celebrities including Rafer Johnson,
Lorne Greene, Steve Allen, David Cassidy, Jonathan Winters, Carol
O'Connor and others.
Special Olympics state winners compete in national games held every
four years. California was host state in 1972 when young mentally
handicapped winners from the 50 states, District of Columbia, and Puerto
Rico participated in the National Games at U.C.L.A.
The Governor's Cup for Outstanding Service by Volunteers to Physical
Fitness of Mentally Retarded Children will be presented by the Lieutenant
Governor to Mrs. Thomas Sarnoff, President of the California Special
Olympics Association.
In succeeding years it will be awarded to individuals or organiza-
tions who perform outstanding volunteer work in behalf of the Special
Olympics for mentally retarded youngsters.
"The organization of these games from local to state level is a
tremendous tribute to countless organizat ions and individual volunteers
in all walks of life all over the state," Reinecke said.
"This is personal involvement of the most rewarding kind. The people
of California are happy to acknowledge their efforts in this way and to
insure that they will continue to be recognized in the future."
Local volunteers include high school and college teachers, service
club members, parents groups, youth agencies, sports officials, and others
in special education, physical education and recreation activities.
Approximately a quarter of a million retarded youngsters are Special
Olympians as a result of participating in over 2,000 sports meets across
the U.S., Canada, and France since 1968. Special Olympics is sponsored
by the Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Foundation.

Governor Ronald Reagan today "regretfully" accepted the resignation
of William R. Gianelli as director of the Department of Water Resources,
effective September 1, 1973, and appointed him to the State Personnel
Board. Gianelli's replacement will be named within the next week.
"Bill Gianelli has been a guiding force in the successful completion
of the basic California Water Project," Governor Reagan said, "The
people of California are losing a very dedicated and talented public
servant. He is an outstanding engineer, who probably knows more about
water problems and solutions than anyone in the country.
"Bill helped formulate the California Water Plan and took an active
part in the Burns-Porter Act, the $1.75 billion Water Bond Issue. Without
his counsel, knowledge and dedication, it is doubtful that our California
Water Project would be the showcase of water engineering that it is today.
"When I appointed Bill as director of Water Resources in December,
1966, our task force projected that there would be a $300 million deficit
in the Water Project by 1972. Under Bill's astute administration, we now
do not have a deficit, we have $165 million available to finance future
additions to the state water projects, and there has been no drain on the
general fund.
"Bill deserves much of the credit for the success of the California
Water Project. He accomplished this while at the same time having reduced
the number of staff personnel from 4560 in 1967 to 2443 today.
"I value Bill Gianelli for his many talents and as a close personal
friend. Although he has felt for some time that he would be resigning as
soon as the first phase of the water project was completed, California is
fortunate that he has accepted an appointment to the State Personnel
Board. He will be a valuable addition to the board."
Gianelli, 54, a native of Stockton, earned his B.S. degree in Civil
Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1941. After
five years' service with the Army Corps of Engineers in the Pacific
Theater during World War II, he settled in Sacramento. He entered state
service in 1946, moving up the civil service ranks to District Engineer
of the Southern California District of the Department of Water Resources.
He joined the private consulting firm of Gianelli and Murray in 1960.
The firm specialized in water problems, including water supplies and water
rights. He left the firm on December 22, 1966, when appointed director
of the Department of Water Resources.
Gianelli, a registered Democrat, is married to the former Shirley
Scott. They are the parents of two grown daughters.
Gianelli replaces Samuel Leask, Jr., of Los Angeles, on the State
Personnel Board. He will serve a ten-year term and receive an annual
salary of $10, 584. The appointment requires Senate confirmation.

Governor Ronald Reagan today announced the appointment of John R.
Teerink, of Sacramento, as the director of the Department of Water
Resources. He replaces William R. Gianelli, who has resigned. The
appointment, subject to Senate confirmation, is effective September 1,
1973.
"John Teerink, as deputy director for the past six years, has been
closely associated with the plans, policies and operations that have
been established by Bill Gianelli,' said Governor Reagan. "He is the
logical choice to succeed Bill, the governor added.
Teerink joined the Department of Water Resources shortly after he
left military service in 1946 as a captain in the Army Air Corps. As a
water resources engineer at various civil service levels, he participated
in all phases of planning for the State Water Project. Prior to his
appointment as deputy director, in February, 1967, Teerink served as
district engineer of the Department of Water Resources Southern California
District in Los Angeles for two years.
He was in charge of aqueduct design for four years and was also
responsible for the department's programs of investigation of new water
sources from desalting, waste water reclamation and geothermal energy.
Teerink is a registered civil engineer in California and a member
of the American Society of Civil Engineers. He is a fellow of the
National Institute of Public Affairs and a director of the American Shore
and Beach Preservation Association.
Teerink, 52, a Republican, earned his civil engineering degree at
Oregon State University in 1944 and his master's of Public Administration
from Harvard University in 1965. He is married to the former Lillian
Weaver and they are the parents of two grown daughters.
He will receive an annual salary of $31,500.
