Building Standards Commission Approves Additional Irrigation Efficiency Regulations

Posted on July 21, 2015 by CASH

July 21, 2015

Today the Building Standards Commission (BSC) unanimously approved additional emergency regulations proposed by the Division of the State Architect (DSA), expanding upon the new water efficiency requirements previously adopted on May 29, 2015, for public schools and community college irrigated landscape areas.  Today’s regulations provide additional implementation detail and supplant the regulations approved in the previous action, which were serving as a placeholder.  Representatives from the Coalition for Adequate School Housing (C.A.S.H.) participated in the DSA stakeholder input process, and our feedback contributed to positive modifications that were incorporated in the final regulations, though the new requirements will still ultimately increase project costs.

The May Revision and State Budget Activities
The Governor released his May Revision budget update on Thursday, May 14, 2015, and the
Legislature is currently reviewing, reconciling, and finalizing budget actions in order to
meet the constitutional deadline to pass a budget by June 15. The Governor estimates an
additional $6.7 billion in revenues above the January proposal across three fiscal years
(2013-14, 2014-15, and 2015-16), $5.5 billion of which are proposed to go to K-12 and
community colleges under Proposition 98. The Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO)
estimates revenues approximately $3 billion above the Governor, who is known for making
very conservative estimates in order to maintain a fiscally prudent approach and minimize
new spending.
