Specific Challenges Sample Clauses

Specific Challenges. One particular type of development proposal presents a unique challenge because it is partially within the assumed land use/water budget of the Water Forum. These are proposals that occur on County lands between the Urban Services Boundary and the Urban Policy Areas. To estimate overall water demands to the year 2030, the Water Forum water budget assumed water use in these areas (18,000 AFY plus potential conversion of current agricultural use of groundwater), but the water was not allocated either geographically or in time. For these areas, the same notification/comment process referenced above is to be used. Some of these projects may fall into the “complex” category. Urbanization of any type between the Urban Services Boundary and Urban Policy Boundary will likely require a change in general plan land use and trigger the notification process. It is possible that in the early years, the water purveyor and others may have limited concerns with proposals that are able to secure water. Currently, County projects are subject to policy CO-20 (a policy of the Sacramento General Plan Conservation Element) which requires a water master plan prior to project approval. Over time, however, as the Water Forum water budget accounting (Goal 2) demonstrates the water supply situation, proposals may receive more attention. Land use proposals that require significant amounts of water in areas without historic groundwater pumping, may also merit more attention. The signatories recognize the positive value of County policy CO- 20 in requiring water supply plans and use of supplemental surface water. Continuing this type of requirement will help the Water Forum monitor and plan for future water supplies. Another specific type of proposal is a citizen initiative that has a major effect on land use. These proposals would be analyzed if Water Forum staff or members determine that they merit examination. However, signatories acknowledge that land use agencies, water purveyors or Water Forum members may not hear about such proposals in a timely way. It is the responsibility of each member of the Water Forum to bring such proposals to the attention of the Water Forum staff, Water Demand and Supply Information Committee or Plenary if they believe the proposal has a material effect on water use. If a proposal is forwarded for discussion, it will be treated similarly to a complex development project.

Specific Challenges. There are a number of areas where the current model of criminal justice is leading to unintended, negative outcomes for Londoners, for example: • Many of London’s young offenders and young adult offenders locked up in large establishments far away from home, which impacts resettlement and undermines continuity of services. For example, there are currently 290 young Londoners in prison, however over half are being held outside of London (152)9. • Young adults are a particular challenge where there is a lack of tailored policy and funding to improve outcomes, with the proven reoffending rate for 18-24 year olds being stubbornly higher than the overall adult reoffending rate (31.5% compared to 23.5%). The proven reoffending rate is higher still for young adults leaving custody - 41.9%10. • Young people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds are disproportionately represented in the criminal justice system as both victims and offenders, particularly within the youth justice system where the proportion of first 6 MoJ, Proven reoffending statistics, updated October 2017, xxx.xx/xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx- statistics 7 McKinsey, Joint costing project: Criminal justice system in London, July 2015 8 MOPAC, London Landscape, xxxx.xxxxxx.xxx.xx/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 9 MoJ and YJB, Youth Custody Data: November 2017, xxx.xx/xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxx 10 MoJ, Proven reoffending statistics, updated October 2017, xxx.xx/xxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxx/xxxxxx- reoffending-statistics time entrants to the YJS and reoffenders from XXXX communities are rising in the context of reductions in overall numbers11. • Female offenders in London are more likely to be sentenced to short-term prison sentences, compared to other large metropolitan areas in the country12. Short prison sentences are shown to be disruptive to the lives of women and their dependants, and less effective than community sentences for addressing offending behaviour. The closure of Xxxxxxxx Prison means that female offenders sentenced to custody are now all held in prisons outside of London. • There has been a significant decrease in the use of community sentences designed to effectively reduce reoffending, with 25% less community sentences nationally since 200413. This needs to be addressed in light of prison capacity, the lack of judiciary confidence in community sentences and high reoffending rates. • London’s prisons are overcrowded and have rising rates of violence and self harm1415....

Specific Challenges. Low Level of capacity utilisation in gas and petroleum pipeline networks. Regulated tariffs in power sector assets. Low interest among investors in national highways below four lanes. Way Forward The success of the infrastructure expansion plan would depend on other stakeholders playing their due role. These include State governments and their Public Sector Enterprises and the private sector. In this context, the Fifteenth Finance Commission has recommended the setting up of a High-Powered Intergovernmental Group to re-examine the fiscal responsibility legislation of the Centre and States. Maintaining transparency is the key to adequate realisation of the asset value. Recent experience suggests that Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) now involve transparent auctions, a clear understanding of the risks and payoffs, and an open field for any and all interested parties. Thus, the utility of PPP in greenfield projects can not be neglected.
