MAME 43 - AN UNBELIEVABLE SUCCESS
Nearly 500 BIA members turned out for our annual awards gala and to say that it was a fun event, would be an understatement! Our emcee, Good Day Sacramento's Cambi Brown, kept the audience laughing while running the show smoothly. MAME is always a wonderful evening because it celebrates the very best in our industry and, like each year, there is so much to be proud of!
Congratulations to this year's finalists and winners. And, of course, many thanks to our tremendous sponsors, without whom such events would simply not be possible. Here are some pictures from MAME 43. Look for more coming throughout the week.

Governor Brown Approves Clean Energy Bill
Governor Jerry Brown signed SB 100 last Monday with the goal of shifting California's retail electricity from fossil fuels to renewable energy by 2045. The bill raises the bar on the state's lofty clean energy goals by increasing California's 2030 renewable energy target to 60%, up from 50%. Additionally, Brown announced that the state would be attaining carbon neutrality by the same year-ensuring greenhouse gas emissions are low enough to be absorbed by natural sources.
South Sacramento Habitat Conservation Plan (SSHCP) Adoption
The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors adopted the SSHCP at their September 11th meeting. The SSHCP aims to streamline federal and state permitting processes for SSHCP-covered development and infrastructure projects while protecting habitat, open space and agricultural lands. It is led by a multi-jurisdiction collaboration that includes Sacramento County, the cities of Rancho Cordova and Galt, the Sacramento County Water Agency, the Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District, and the Capital SouthEast Connector Joint Powers Authority.
Sacramento County Fiscal Year 2018-2019 Budget Approved

The Adopted General Fund Budget includes $7.5 million to General Reserves. With this adjustment, the General Reserves balance will stand at $21 million.
City of Roseville Preparing Two Budget Scenarios Based on Election Outcome
Roseville is preparing two budget scenarios based on the City Council's recent annual goals workshop. The City will know which of the two scenarios to budget for after the results of the Roseville community's vote on Measure B in November -a half-cent sales tax to protect Roseville's essential services. If passed, Measure B is estimated to generate $16 million to $19 million in revenue annually. If Measure B does not pass, the City estimates there will be a $1 million to $3 million operation budget shortfall in Fiscal Year 2019/20 and a continued $10 million to $14 million annual shortfall to fund long-term expenses.

Cordova High School to Toured USA Properties' Talavera Site
On September 11th, Cordova High School's construction program was able to tour USA Properties' Talavera Site with Foundation Staff. Mr. Leineke's class had the opportunity to see the four phases of the construction process and ask the management crew questions. Many of the students are interested in working in construction, and for some it was their first time on a construction site! All were impressed by the work that they discovered "behind the walls." Our next step is to get them involved in internships!
