VISTA, CALIFORNIA, ENDORSING THE CAMPAIGN FOR A SAFE AND HEALTHY CALIFORNIA AND SUPPORTING KEEPING SB 1137 HEALTH
AND SAFETY SETBACK LEGISLATION
The City Council of the City of Vista does resolve as follows:
1. Findings. The City Council hereby finds and declares the following:
A. Research shows that living within half a mile of an oil well increases the risk of asthma, high -risk pregnancies, respiratory illnesses, and cancer.
B. Today, nearly three million Californians are exposed to the most toxic emissions, and communities of color are disproportionately harmed the most by neighborhood drilling.
C. The City of Vista is committed to a healthy, safe, and clean environment for all, and the Vista City Council understands that toxic emissions produced in other areas of the State do impact the overall health and safety of all residents of the State.
D. The California State Legislature passed SB1137 (Gonzalez) in 2022 to initiate health and safety setback regulations, which prohibit new or modified oil and gas wells within 3,200 feet of homes, schools, daycare centers, parks, healthcare facilities, and businesses.
E. Oil and corporate interests financed a $20 million petition campaign to block immediate implementation of SB 1137, placing a referendum to repeal SB 1137 on the California General Election November 2024 ballot.
F. The Campaign for a Safe and Healthy California is a coaltition formed by health professionals, environmental justice groups, community and faith leaders, and youth to keep the SB 1137 legislation.
2. Action.
A. The City Council supports endorsing the Campaign for a Safe and Healthy California and supports keeping SB 1137 healthy and safety setback legislation.

Senate Bill No. 1137
CHAPTER 365
An act to add Article 4.6 (commencing with Section 3280) to Chapter 1 of Division 3 of the Public Resources Code, relating to oil and gas. [Approved by Governor September 16, 2022. Filed with
Secretary of State September 16, 2022.]
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1137, Gonzalez. Oil and gas: operations: location restrictions: notice of intention: health protection zone: sensitive receptors.
Existing law establishes the Geologic Energy Management Division in the Department of Conservation, under the direction of the State Oil and Gas Supervisor, who is required to supervise the drilling, operation, maintenance, and abandonment of oil and gas wells in the state and the operation, maintenance, and removal or abandonment of tanks and facilities related to oil and gas production within an oil and gas field, so as to prevent damage to life, health, property, and natural resources. Existing law requires the operator of a well to file a written notice of intention to commence drilling with, and prohibits any drilling until approval is given by, the supervisor or district deputy. Existing law authorizes the supervisor to require other pertinent information to supplement the notice. Existing law requires the owner of any well to file with the supervisor a monthly statement that provides certain information relating to the well, as provided. Existing law requires an operator proposing to perform a well stimulation treatment to apply to the supervisor or district deputy for a permit to perform the well stimulation treatment and imposes other requirements and conditions on the use of well stimulation treatments. Under existing law, a person who fails to comply with this and other requirements relating to the regulation of oil or gas operations is guilty of a misdemeanor.
This bill would prohibit, commencing January 1, 2023, the division from approving any notice of intention within a health protection zone, as defined, except for reasons related to preventing or responding to a threat to public health, safety, or the environment, complying with a court order, or to plug and abandon or reabandon a well, as provided. The bill would also explicitly authorize the division to approve notices of intention to public and private entities who own, purchase, or lease land containing idle -deserted or previously plugged and abandoned wells for the purposes of those public and private entities plugging and abandoning, or replugging and abandoning, those oil and gas wells so development of nonfossil fuel production and injection and related uses can proceed, as provided. The bill would require an operator who submits a notice of intention, except for certain notices of intention, to also submit either a sensitive receptor inventory and map of 94 EXHIBIT 2
05/28/2024 D 1 4 of 16
Ch. 365 — 2
the area within the 3,200 feet radius of the wellhead or proposed wellhead location to the division, or a statement certifying that the operator has confirmed that there are no sensitive receptors, as defined, located within 3,200-foot of the wellhead location, as provided. If a notice of intention is approved pursuant to compliance with a court order, the bill would require the operator of the oil or gas well to provide an individual indemnity bond sufficient to pay the full cost of properly plugging and abandoning the operator's well or wells, and decommissioning any attendant production facilities in the health protection zone, as provided.
Commencing January 1, 2025, the bill would require all oil or gas production facilities or wells with a wellhead within a health protection zone to comply with specified health, safety, and environmental requirements, as provided. These health, safety, and environmental requirements would, among other things, require compliance with requirements related to applicable permits, public notice, sound levels, light generation, migration of dust and particulates beyond property boundaries, emissions and vapor venting, and chemical analyses of produced waters.
The bill would also require all operators with a production facility or well with a wellhead in a health protection zone to submit a leak detection and response plan, as provided, to the division by January 1, 2025, require division approval or notice of deficiency by January 1, 2026, and require implementation of the plan by January 1, 2027. The bill would require the division to hold public workshops related to the leak detection and response plans, as provided, operators to review and update their plans at least once every 5 years, subject to division approval, and the supervisor to notify the applicable legislative budget and policy committees about these leak detection and response plans, as provided. The bill would require operators to contact property owners and tenants before commencing work that requires a notice of intention, and would also require operators to comply with water sampling requirements, as provided. The bill would require every operator to submit a sensitive receptor inventory and map to the division by July 1, 2023, and provide updates to the inventory and map annually thereafter, as provided, and require the division to make all current sensitive receptor inventories and maps publicly available on its internet website.
The bill would, commencing January 1, 2027, and annually thereafter, require operators with a wellhead or other production facility in a health protection zone to provide information to the division, as provided, and require the division to make this information publicly available on its internet website.
Because a violation of these requirements would be a crime, the bill would impose a state -mandated local program.
The bill would exempt from its provisions underground gas storage wells and attendant production facilities.
The bill would require the division, on or before July 1, 2027, and annually thereafter, to provide a legislative report to the applicable budget and policy committees regarding the implementation of health protection zones, as provided. The bill would authorize the division, the State Air Resources 94 05/28/2024 D1 5 of 16
Ch. 365
Board, and the State Water Resources Control Board to prescribe, adopt, and enforce any emergency regulations as necessary to implement, administer, and enforce these duties, as provided. The bill would require the State Air Resources Board, relevant local air districts, the State Water Resources Control Board, and relevant local water quality control boards, by June 1, 2023, to enter into memoranda of understanding with the division to clearly delineate respective responsibilities for the implementation and enforcement of health protection zones. By imposing requirements on local entities, the bill would impose a state -mandated local program.
This bill would state that its provisions are severable.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that with regard to certain mandates no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
With regard to any other mandates, this bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs so mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) In addition to increasing impacts of climate change, a growing body of research shows direct health impacts from proximity to oil extraction. (b) These impacts are disproportionately impacting Black, indigenous, and people of color in California, who are most likely to live in close proximity to oil extraction activities and who are the most vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change.
(c) Proximity to oil and gas extraction sites pose significant health risks, especially due to increased air pollution.
(d) Studies have shown evidence of harm at distances less than one kilometer, which is approximately 3,200 feet.
(e) Further assistance must be provided to frontline communities that have been most polluted by the fossil fuel industry by cleaning up pollution, remediating negative health impacts, and building resilient infrastructure to prepare for the unavoidable impacts of climate change.
SEC. 2. Article 4.6 (commencing with Section 3280) is added to Chapter 1 of Division 3 of the Public Resources Code, to read:
Article 4.6. Health Protection Zones
3280. For purposes of this article, the following definitions apply:
(a) "Area" means surface area, and all measurement of distances is on the surface of the land.
94 05/28/2024 D1 6 of 16
Ch. 365 — 4
(b) "Health protection zone" means the area within 3,200 feet of a sensitive receptor. The measurement shall be made from the property line of the receptor unless the receptor building is more than 50 feet set back from the property line, in which case the measurement shall be made from the outline of the building footprint to 3,200 feet in all directions. (c) "Sensitive receptor" means any of the following:
(1) A residence, including a private home, condominium, apartment, and living quarter.
(2) An education resource, including a preschool, school maintaining transitional kindergarten, kindergarten, or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, daycare center, park, playground, university, and college. Where a university or college is the only sensitive receptor within 3,200 feet of the operator's wellheads or production facilities, the university or college is not a sensitive receptor if the operator demonstrates to the division's satisfaction that no building with nominal daily occupancy on the university or college campus is located within 3,200 feet of the operator's wellheads or production facilities.
(3) A community resource center, including a youth center. (4) A health care facility, including a hospital, retirement home, and nursing home.
(5) Live-in housing, including a long-term care hospital, hospice, prison, detention center, and dormitory.
(6) Any building housing a business that is open to the public. 3281. (a) Notwithstanding any other law, commencing January 1, 2023, the division shall not approve any notice of intention under Section 3203 within a health protection zone, except for approvals of notices of intention necessary for any of the following purposes:
(1) To prevent or respond to a threat to public health, safety, or the environment.
(2) To comply with a court order finding that denying approval would amount to a taking of property, or a court order otherwise requiring approval of a notice of intention.
(3) To plug and abandon or reabandon a well, including an intercept well necessary to plug and abandon or reabandon a well.
(b) An operator who submits a notice of intention under Section 3203, except for notices of intention described in paragraph (3) of subdivision (a), shall submit a sensitive receptor inventory and map pursuant to Section 3285 of the area within the 3,200-foot radius of the wellhead or proposed wellhead location to the division with the notice of intention or a statement certifying that the operator has confirmed, and the division has verified, that there are no sensitive receptors located within 3,200 feet of the wellhead location. The operator shall submit the sensitive receptor inventory and map in a format that complies with all requirements of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-336) and its implementing regulations for online viewing. If the inventory or map includes any personally identifiable information, the operator shall submit a second version with the personally identifiable information redacted. Inventories 94 05/28/2024 D1 7 of 16
5 — Ch. 365
and maps with no personally identifiable information shall be made available to the public in compliance with Section 3234. No new production facilities shall be constructed or operated in a health protection zone unless associated with a notice of intention approved pursuant to subdivision (a) or as determined by the division to be necessary to protect public health and safety.
(c) If a notice of intention is approved pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), the approval shall require the operator of the oil or gas well to provide an individual indemnity bond sufficient to pay the full cost of properly plugging and abandoning the operator's well or wells, and decommissioning any attendant production facilities in the health protection zone. The division shall determine the amount of the individual indemnity bond in accordance with subdivision (b) of Section 3205.3. The bond shall be executed by the operator, as principal, and by an authorized surety company, as surety, and shall be in substantially the same language and upon the same conditions as provided in Section 3204, except as to the difference in the amount. The operator's blanket indemnity bond authorized pursuant to Section 3205 shall not be used to satisfy this subdivision. (d) Underground gas storage wells and attendant production facilities are not subject to this article.
3281.5. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that development of oil and gas fields into nonfossil fuel production and injection and related uses, including, but not limited to, housing, recreation, and commercial development, may have plugged and abandoned wells or may require existing oil and gas wells to be plugged and abandoned, or replugged and abandoned, to current statutory and regulatory standards, and that the creation of health protection zones, and the related restrictions and requirements of this article, do not apply in the context of development for nonfossil fuel production and injection and related uses.
(b) Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of subdivision (a) of Section 3281, the division may approve notices of intention pursuant to Section 3203 to public and private entities who own, purchase, or lease land containing idle -deserted or previously plugged and abandoned wells for the purposes of those public and private entities plugging and abandoning, or replugging and abandoning, those oil and gas wells so development of nonfossil fuel production and injection and related uses can proceed. This may include, without limitation, a notice of intention to drill or rework an intercept well, if needed to plug and abandon or replug and abandon another well on the condition that the intercept well is itself plugged and abandoned.
The public and private entities, as well as any lessees, tenants, or other occupants, shall not engage in oil or gas development or production or injection or related uses for which they have submitted a notice of intention pursuant to this subdivision.
3282. Commencing January 1, 2025, all oil or gas production facilities or wells with a wellhead within a health protection zone shall be in compliance with all of the following requirements:
94 05/28/2024 D1 8 of 16
Ch. 365 — 6
(a) The operator is required to comply with the terms and conditions of all applicable federal, state, and local permits required to operate the well and facility.
(b) If not otherwise required by law or regulation, clearly post contact information for where to address complaints about noise, odor, and other concerns on the perimeter of the site. This information shall include responsible persons employed by the operator, as well as enforcement officials in the city, county, or city and county, and air district, in which the facility is located. The size and format of the posted information shall be consistent with existing requirements.
(c) Unless more stringent local requirements apply, between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m., sound levels from oil and gas production operations shall not exceed ambient noise levels, as measured at the property line. (d) Unless more stringent local requirements apply, minimize light generated at an oil or gas well or production facility to reduce light traveling beyond property boundaries. Except as needed in emergency circumstances, operators shall use only such lighting as is necessary to provide the minimum intensity and coverage for safety and basic security between the hours of 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. Lighting shall be hooded or otherwise directed so that it shines onto only the operator's property and not onto adjacent properties or into the sky.
(e) Unless more stringent local requirements apply, employ operational measures to prevent dust and particulates from migrating beyond property boundaries. Dust control measures to be employed within property boundaries shall include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) Limiting vehicle speeds on unpaved roads to 15 miles per hour or less.
(2) Containing or covering stored sands, drilling muds, and excavated soil.
(f) Immediately suspending the use of a production facility if the production facility, including all permanent and temporary equipment within the health protection zone that emits vapors, such as tanks, vessels, separation facilities, gas processing units, and other equipment holding petroleum liquids or produced water, is not in compliance with all applicable air district requirements relating to preventing vapor venting to the atmosphere. (g) (1) The operator is required to provide the division with representative chemical analyses for all produced water transported away from the oilfield where it was produced.
(2) Chemical analysis required under this subdivision shall be in accordance with the analytical specifications for liquid analysis detailed in Section 1724.7.2 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, and shall be filed with the division within three months of produced water being transported from the oilfield and whenever the source of produced water is changed.
(3) For the purposes of this subdivision, the source of produced water is changed if the treatment process or additives are changed, if a contributing source is added or removed, or if there is a significant change to the relative 94 05/28/2024 D1 9 of 16
7 — Ch. 365
contribution of individual sources such that the last chemical analysis is not representative of the produced water being transported from the oilfield. 3283. (a) All operators with a production facility or well with a wellhead in a health protection zone shall develop a leak detection and response plan that shall be submitted to the division no later than January 1, 2025, and fully implemented by operators by January 1, 2027. For any leak detection and response plan submitted by January 1, 2025, the division shall either approve the plan or provide notice of deficiencies by January 1, 2026.
Commencing January 1, 2027, the operator shall suspend all production and injection operations within a health protection zone unless an approved leak detection and response plan is fully implemented in that area. A leak detection and response plan is subject to review and approval by the division, in consultation with and with the concurrence of the State Air Resources Board, and shall include all of the following:
(1) The leak detection and response plan shall identify the chemical constituents, such as methane and hydrogen sulfide, as well as potential toxics of highest concern in the region as identified by the State Air Resources Board or local air district that will be detection targets for the emissions detection system to ensure early detection of leaks that otherwise may result in emissions impacting the surrounding communities. Not all chemical species that may be found in the oilfield are required to be detection targets and methane may serve as a surrogate for chemical constituents that cannot be continuously monitored but are identified in the leak detection and response plan. The State Air Resources Board and the State Water Resources Control Board shall adopt regulations as necessary to implement and set performance standards by regulation for the emissions detection system. The division, the State Air Resources Board, and the State Water Resources Control Board may adopt such regulations under an emergency rulemaking process as provided in Section 3288.
(2) (A) The leak detection and response plan shall include a continuously operating emissions detection system designed to provide for rapid detection of target chemical constituents to identify leaks before emissions impact the surrounding communities. Sampling locations and sample inlets shall be sited consistent with local meteorology and best practices. (B) The emissions detection system shall include an alarm system that effectively, immediately, and reliably alerts the operator when triggered. (C) The emissions detection system shall include a new, or use an existing, meteorological system that is appropriately sited with the ability to continuously record measurements.
(b) The leak detection and response plan shall include an alarm response protocol that provides for immediate action to rapidly identify and fix the leak that is the source of the emissions. In the event that the source of the emissions is not identified and the leak stopped within 48 hours of the leak being identified, the alarm response protocol shall include a communication plan for notification of local emergency responders and public health authorities, the division, and people in the community, including notification in languages that are easily understood by the affected community. The 94 05/28/2024 D1 10 of 16
Ch. 365 — 8
alarm response protocol shall provide for compliance with all local, state, and federal requirements for reporting leaks of hazardous emissions. The operator shall consult with local emergency response entities when preparing the alarm response protocol and shall engage in drills as deemed necessary by the local emergency response entity. The alarm response protocol shall provide for collection and determination of the chemical composition of a representative sample near the leak when a continuous alarm event indicates that emissions from the leak may have impacted the surrounding community, and the subsequent collection and determination of the chemical composition of samples when there is reason to believe that the composition of the emissions may be changing. If the source of the emissions is a leak from a well or production facility, the operator shall suspend use of the well or production facility until the leak has been corrected and the division has approved the resumption of its use. Where the operator can demonstrate to the division that the source of the emissions is not related to the oil and gas operations, the division may waive any additional actions required under the alarm response protocol.
(c) The division and the State Air Resources Board shall collaborate to develop methods for providing public access to data generated by operators from emissions detection systems.
(d) The division shall hold no less than three public workshops following the enactment of the emergency regulations pursuant to Section 3288 to provide information and guidance to operators and the public on the development of leak detection and response plans pursuant to this section. (e) An operator's leak detection and response plan shall be reviewed and updated by the operator, subject to division approval, at least once every five years from the date of its initial approval by the division. The division shall hold at least one public technical workshop at least biennially to provide information and guidance to operators on best practices for the development, review, and update of leak detection and response plans. (f) The operator shall record and maintain records of emissions and meteorological monitoring, including the composition of any samples collected during leak events, for 10 years.
(g) Notwithstanding Section 10231.5 of the Government Code, commencing July 1, 2023, and at six-month intervals thereafter, the supervisor shall notify the applicable legislative budget and policy committees on progress, including milestones, towards achieving the deadlines in subdivision (a) for the development, approval, and implementation of the leak detection and response plans. 3284. (a) Before commencing any work that requires a notice of intention under Section 3203 in the health protection zone, the operator shall contact property owners and tenants within a 3,200-foot radius of the wellhead in writing with a record of delivery and offer to sample and test water wells or surface water on their property before and after drilling. (b) The operator shall contact property owners and tenants as specified in subdivision (a) at least 30 days before commencing drilling. If a property owner or tenant requests sampling and testing of a water well or surface 94 05/28/2024 D1 11 of 16
9 — Ch. 365
water, drilling may not commence until a baseline water sample has been collected, provided that the owner's or tenant's request is delivered in writing with a record of delivery to the operator within 20 days from the date notice is provided and the surface property owner makes necessary accommodations to enable the collection of a water sample within 10 days from the date notice is provided. The operator shall collect a followup water sample no sooner than 30 days, and no later than 60 days, after drilling is complete.
The costs of sampling and testing required under this section shall be borne by the operator.
(c) Before commencing drilling in the health protection zone, the operator shall provide to the division documentation of the effort to identify and notify property owners and tenants as required.
(d) The operator shall conduct water sampling and testing, both baseline and followup, pursuant to this section, in accordance with all of the following requirements:
(1) Water quality sampling shall be conducted by appropriately qualified personnel in a manner consistent with standard environmental industry practice and chain of custody protocols. Documentation of the sampling process shall accurately describe the location that the sample was taken from and the process for collecting the sample.
(2) Water quality analytical testing shall be performed by a laboratory that has been accredited under the State Water Resources Control Board's Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program to perform the tests necessary to complete the required analysis under this subdivision, except for those tests labeled as field tests, that may be conducted by any person qualified to sample and interpret the results of the required test. (3) (A) Water quality testing shall include baseline measurements before the commencement of the drilling, and followup measurements after drilling is completed.
(B) Liquid analysis required under this subdivision shall include testing for all of the following: total dissolved solids; total petroleum hydrocarbon as crude oil; major cations (Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe, Mn, Sr, B); major anions (Cl, 504, HCO3, CO3, Br, I, NO3); any constituents listed in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 66261.24 of Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations; radionuclides; appropriate indicator chemicals for drilling mud and fluids used for well cleanout; total alkalinity and hydroxide; electrical conductance; pH; and temperature. (C) The division or the regional water quality control board may require testing for additional constituents on a case -by -case basis. (4) Within 120 days after drilling in the health protection zone is complete, the results of any baseline and followup water quality testing shall be provided by the operator to the division, the appropriate regional water quality control board, the State Water Resources Control Board, the surface property owner, and the requesting tenant.
(5) The appropriate regional water quality control board shall be notified at least five working days before collecting a sample under this section so that regional water quality control board staff may witness the sampling. 94 05/28/2024 D1 12 of 16

(6) Water quality data collected under this section shall be submitted to the State Water Resources Control Board and the appropriate regional water quality control board in an electronic format that follows the guidelines detailed in Chapter 30 (commencing with Section 3890) of Division 3 of Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations within 120 days after drilling is complete.
(7) If the property owner or tenant is unable to provide the necessary access to perform baseline or followup testing under this section, then failure to do the testing is not a violation of this section. The division may waive the requirements of this section if the operator demonstrates that the delay in well work associated with the requirements of this section is likely to result in significant damage to life, health, or natural resources. The operator is not required to sample or test water under this section if the relevant authorities have determined that the water is not an underground source of drinking water, as defined in the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C.
Sec. 300f et. seq.), and the water has no beneficial uses, in accordance with subdivision (f) of Section 13050 of the Water Code.
3285. (a) Every operator shall submit to the division by July 1, 2023, a sensitive receptor inventory and map that includes the following:
(1) A list of all sensitive receptors within 3,200 feet of an operator's wellheads and production facilities by field. For each sensitive receptor listed, the operator shall provide all of the following:
(A) The distance from the sensitive receptor to each wellhead or production facility that is located within 3,200 feet of that specific receptor.
The well shall be identified by API number, and the production facility shall also be explicitly identified. Latitude and longitude shall also be provided for the wellhead and production facility.
(B) The type of sensitive receptor.
(C) A map showing each sensitive receptor's location in relation to the operator's wellheads and production facilities.
(2) A statement from each operator based on their sensitive receptor inventory that provides the operator's determination as to whether their wellheads and production facilities are located within 3,200 feet of a sensitive receptor. An operator who has identified sufficient sensitive receptors such that their entire operation is located within a health protection zone may cease adding new sensitive receptors to their inventory and make a determination that all of their wellheads and production facilities are located within a health protection zone.
(b) By July 1 of each year, all operators shall submit to the division a sensitive receptor inventory and map pursuant to subdivision (a) that is up to date, with information no more than 90 days old, and shall make a new determination regarding the location of each of their wellheads and production facilities within a health protection zone. If there have been no changes to the location of sensitive receptors in the 3,200 feet surrounding the operator's wellheads and production facilities, the operator shall submit a statement that no changes to the determination are needed. 94 05/28/2024 D 1 13 of 16

ISome people who received this message don't often get email from Learn why this is important Hello,
My name is Daryn Tarasewicz and I am a part of District 5. 1 am a student at Pacific Trails Middle School and here to express my support of SB 1137. Melting glaciers, landslides, floods, forest fires, famine, rising temperatures. We've heard it all. Yet the world sits back, watching Big Oil consume our planet by the second. I am only thirteen years old. I will be here when there is more plastic in the ocean than fish, when water levels will be over two feet above average, when over a quarter of wildlife is extinct, and when air pollution will be the main cause of environmentally related deaths.
These are precisely the effects of Big Oil's ongoing destruction to our planet. For the past two years, they have spent 20 million dollars fighting against clean energy bills, particularly SB 1137. What right do these companies have to alter the course of our futures? Why should we be oppressed? Today, I call upon you all to reaffirm your support for this bill. SB 1137 is the light we need to illuminate our futures. This is the key to open the door to sustainability in California. We have done our part to save this planet. The choice is now up to you. Thank you.

Honorable Vista Council Members,
My name is Emma Weibel, I am 16 years old, and the lead of SanDiego350's Youth v. Oil campaign.
I am writing to the council in enthusiastic support of Council Member Contreras' resolution to pledge the city's endorsement for keeping SB-1137, lifesaving legislation that was put on the November ballot as a referendum by a massive misinformation campaign financed by Big Oil.
The law, which was passed and signed by Governor Newsom, would have mandated 3200 ft setback zones between oil drilling and communities. This would create a minimum degree of safety to protect the areas where people live, work, learn, and play from incredibly dangerous pollutants.
As Californians, we are all affected by the subversion of Big Oil, we are all affected by these violations of the right to a healthy planet, and we are all affected by the splintering of our democratic system under this blatant show of corruption.
We ask the council to stand with vulnerable communities and Californians as a whole in supporting this resolution. Please see the attached sign -on letter that illustrates the widespread support from local organizations and other cities in the county for the law.
We appreciate your consideration and support,
Emma Weibel

Dear Honorable Vista City Council Members,

Reality Project
In order for the City of Vista to achieve its imperative climate, health, and resiliency goals, it is crucial that there is a bold show of support from the city making suite San Diegans know the city supports clean air and healthy neighborhoods.
That's why community organizations are joining with Youth v. Oil, a local youth -led campaign of SanDiego350, asking the City Council to pass a resolution, pledging the city's support for the Campaign for a Safe & Healthy California and keeping the lifesaving oil setbacks bill, SB 1137, in place when Californians vote on the statewide referendum on the Nov 2024 ballot. We've passed our resolution at the San Diego, Encinitas, La Mesa, and Del Mar City Councils.
SB 1137 requires vital 3,200 ft setback zones between oil extraction sites and homes, schools, hospitals, and other sensitive sites. The effects of living in proximity to oil extraction sites are dangerous, causing higher rates of childhood leukemia, chronic headaches, birth defects, asthma, and more. Neighborhood oil drilling is an environmental and social justice issue, disproportionately impacting BIPOC and low-income communities.
D1
Though SB 1137 democratically passed through the Senate and AssemblyAdaaP(59l&�ET law by Gov. Newsom in September 2022, Big Oil gathered enough signatures to hold a referendum to repeal the bill, putting its fate in the hands of voters in the November 2024 election. In order to counter this obstruction of health and safety, we urge Californians to vote to "keep the law." As Californians, we believe everyone deserves clean air and healthy neighborhoods, and as fellow Californians, the City Council should move to support this lifesaving bill and pass the resolution to support keeping SB 1137 in the November referendum.
Sincerely,
Emma Weibel,

Public comment from Vista resident
Agenda item Dl: SB 1137
My name is Kimberly Kishon, and I'm a Vista resident in District 2. I'm a working mother in my thirties, and a lifelong San Diegan. As a mother of a young child, SB 1137 is very important to me.
In 2022, California legislators signed SB 1137 to implement 3200 feet of safety setback zones between oil extraction sites and homes, schools, hospitals, and other community sites. oil companies chose to spend millions to try to repeal the bill, instead of implementing it as a cost of doing business.
It's both common sense and scientifically proven that oil extraction releases dangerous amounts of air pollution that have been connected to the cause of severe headaches, childhood leukemia, asthma symptoms, birth defects, and cardiac diseases. Children are more vulnerable to diseases caused by bad air quality because they spend more time outside, have immature/developing lungs, and breathe in more per bodyweight
We need the City of Vista to help keep this lifesaving bill! I sincerelymge the city council to vote YES on the resolution to keep SB 1137 in the November referendum.
Thank you for your service to our city and the beautiful state of Califomia.
Kind regards,
Kimberly Kishon

Hello, my name is Sofia Carrasco and I am a high school student and the co -lead of Youth V.
Oil's resolution team. I am writing to urge the city councils support on item DI, our resolution for a safe and healthy California. Some background may be necessary in order to truly emphasize the injustice of the situation. Big Oil spent twenty million dollars to qualify a referendum on the November 2024 ballot which would overturn Senate Bill 1137, a commonsense law 01at prohibits oil companies from drilling new wells near people's homes, schools, hospitals, and communities. While this issue may be difficult to see from the privileged positions of you and I, this drilling is currently a reality for nearly three million people, who suffer from crippling rates of leukemia, asthma, birth defects, and cardiac disease, particularly in children. Who bears the burden of these risks? Low-income citizens and people of color, communities that are treated as "sacrifice zones" as their healthy are continuously placed in peril. As someone who's experienced the ramifications of a serious heart condition within my family, I am appalled by Big Oil 's undemocratic campaign and its attack on Californians' health and safety. We urge you to pass this resolution and support setbacks that both save lives in the present and ensure a more climate just future, which is crucial to us youth and directly applicable to the environmental goals Drat the city of Vista has listed in its climate action plan. This resolution requires no direct action you are simply pledging your support and joining our alliance of city councils including San Diego, Encinitas, La Mesa, and Del Mar. Our campaign consists of everyone from teenagers to seniors to pediatricians to parents, and I can assure you that all of us feel hope when we are supported by those who make a difference.
Thank you for your time,
Sofia Carrasco

Hello, my name is Abby Deckert and I am the previous lead of the Youth v. Oil Campaign and a high school intern with SanDiego350. Protecting the health and safety of Californians is the bare minimum and the City of Vista has a responsibility to stand up to Big Oil and ensure safe and healthy neighborhoods. Californians should not have to face the risk of higher rates of childhood leukemia, birth defects, asthma, and more because of Big Oil's greed. Neighborhood oil drilling here in CA also disproportionately affects low-income and BIPOC communities further endangering frontline communities. It is crucial we don't lose our essential progress to Big Oil's undemocratically produced referendum and that is why it is critical that the council passes Youth v. Oil's resolution pledging their support for keeping SB 1137. 1 urge you to support item D1 and pass Youth v. Oil's SB 1137 Resolution. I appreciate this council and thank you all for your time.

Tallis Arnold, 17 years old, 12th grade, Santee resident Comment:
Hi, my name is Tallis K Arnold. I live in Santee, I am a Senior at Santana High School, and I am writing in support of item #100. The fact that we, as a sizeable Californian city, have set the precedent that community oil drilling is okay despite the numerous adverse health effects is embarrassing. Several studies have continually shown that oil drilling in Californian neighborhoods has led to higher rates of chronic diseases. What are we saying about our priorities when we allow this? Do you condone the prioritization of profits for large conglomerates over the health of our fellow Californians? Personally, I can't say that I do. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I knew that children in California were suffering from increased rates of early leukemia and asthma and I hadn't done something to support changing it. This issue is real. It's also affecting black and brown communities at shamefully higher rates than others. I'll keep fighting with all of our supporters until we get and keep the change we need. I'm grateful for your time in hearing my support for keeping SB 1137. Thank you.

Hello Vista council members,
My name is Kobi Schneider, and I'm part of a local youth campaign called Youth v. Oil. I want to ask you to support SB-1137. This state law prohibits the construction/modification of oil wells within 31200 feet of homes, schools, daycare centers, parks, healthcare facilities, and businesses. Because Big Oil made this law a referendum, its up to city councils and individual voters to make it happen. SB-1137 is crucial for the health and safety of our communities, town, and environment; if you want to join us in fighting against Big Oil and building a more prosperous California, vote to endorse SB-1137.
Thanks,
Kobi Schneider

My name is Charlotte Sach, I am 17 years old, and I am a student at Torrey Pines High School. I am writing to urge the council to vote yes on resolution Dl in support of keeping SIB 1137 (Health and Safety Setbacks) in the November referendum. I have lived in San Diego my whole life. Beach days, hiking, botanical gardens, biking... these are the activities that made up my childhood. My privilege has allowed me to escape Big Oil and its pollution. However, lower - income communities and communities of color are not as fortunate. California is too forward - thinking to exploit these vulnerable groups. Today, I call on council members to demonstrate their consideration for all Californians, no matter their pay and no matter their race, and support SB 1137 by pledging support for the Youth v. Oil resolution.
