NEW LAWS FOR 2021

State’s new laws protect workers and families By Christina Reed The Hired Pen

medium density, mixed use approach, and will also fill another vacant downtown storefront with a Small Business Resource Center (will be located in the Crafter's Mall building). This center will provide training, counseling, and technical assistance. Planning is being funded by grants from Caltrans (Sustainable Communities Grant) and a Senate Bill 2 planning grant. Elaine Kabala heads up the project team / associate planner for the city. (Source: Draft Downtown Specific Plan Concepts Bishop Plan) Caltrans District 9 is lead for the Meadow Farms ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) project on North Sierra Highway (US 395), and the project moves forward with Alternative 4A: two lanes in each direction; center two-way turn lane; pedestrian-activated crosswalk signal, and painted crosswalk. Northbound side: Shoulder accommodations for advanced cyclists, a shared use sidewalk (pedestrian and cycle) and no on street parallel parking. Southbound side: there will be a parallel park, a shared use sidewalk (pedestrian and cycle), and no off-street parking. The year 2020 was not good for trout species in the eastern Sierra hatcheries, and statewide the Department of Fish and Wildlife reported the three hatchery tragedy claimed 3.2 million fish, which was described by DFW as a “massive” loss. The bacterial outbreak during the summer upended the Mojave River, and two local hatcheries in the eastern Sierra, Black Rock and Fish Springs. Cleaning of the hatcheries will continue, and DFW updated its “Plan B” stocking schedule for 2021, with trout from outof-state until the hatcheries recover. Fishing and the High Sierra go together, and a fishing license is $48.34 for a California resident, 16 years of age or older, for one year. Happy Angling in 2021!

The state of California's new laws for 20 21 include some which are pandemic-related, including more expediency in reporting Covid-19 positive cases, and more hand washing by food facility workers. State Capitol, Sacramento, CA Eastern Sierra, CA—Californians will ring in 2021 with newly enacted laws protecting workers and families, and some are pandemic-related. This is a small sampling of the new laws, which take effect January 1, 2021, unless stated. “Imminent Hazard” and expediency generated Assembly Bill 685, which requires public and private employers to notify employees within one day, if Covid exposure has happened. A written notice is required, including to subcontractors at shared work sites with the infected person. Information about worker's compensation, sick leave, and other polices must be shared. Covid-19 also influenced Assembly Bill 1867, and employees in food facilities will be washing their hands every 30 minutes. Assembly Bill 979 builds on California's law requiring corporate boards to have at least one “underrepresented community,” female director, and AB 979 adds those who self-identify as Hispanic, Native American, Black, African American, Latino, gay, bisexual, lesbian, or transgender. Senate Bill 1383 gives family leave protection to smaller business employees (those with five or more employees). This extends to the majority of the state's businesses, and will give workers 12 weeks of job-protected leave for health issues or that of a family member. Employees must have worked for the business for a year. Senate Bill 973 stipulates that a pay data report from private employers (with 100 or more employees) will be submitted to the state's Department of Fair Employment and Housing (March 31, 2021). Minimum wage increases for the state's workers, and will be $13 an hour (for businesses with 25 or fewer employees) and $14 an hour (for businesses with 26 or more employees).

City of Bishop and Surrounding News 2021 The successful passage of Measure P, on November 3, 2020, means the City of Bishop will increase its sales tax one percent to 8.75 percent. The sales tax revenue will go to the city's general fund for services within the city. Bishop's City Council approved its Downtown Bishop Plan visions by voting for a

The City of Bishop increases its sales tax by one percent to 8.75 percent on January 1, 2021, with the revenue from Measure P's sales tax going to city services.The City Council also approves of moving forward with a medium density, mixed use, downtown vision for its future plans.

Endangered Kit Fox recovering at Wildcare Eastern Sierra

Finder prepares to rescue unconscious Kit Fox from State Highway.

Six weeks ago, Krista G. got an early start as she headed home to Santa Cruz from a tour of Death Valley. Driving southwest on State Highway 178, she passed through Searles Valley and the Trona Pinnacles en route to Highway 395. About 3 miles from (395), as the morning sun brightened, she spotted an animal lying motionless in the middle of the roadway. Krista pulled to the shoulder, signals blinking a warning. A close look at the body revealed a small fox, alive but

unconscious. At Wildcare Eastern Sierra, Director Cindy Kamler received an early phone call. It was Krista. She had googled for help and was seeking advice. Kamler gave her directions how to safely rescue the injured animal, keep it warm, dark and quiet, and then report back for further assistance. Fortunately, Krista had both a small blanket and cardboard box in her car. Cautiously she wrapped the body in the warm blanket, tucked it into the box, and placed it on the sunny front seat in her vehicle. She called Cindy back. Recovering Kit Fox snuggles in her burrow. Her planned route home had been south and then west to the coast and north to Santa Cruz. The closest rehab facility was a very long drive away. Krista chose to head north on (395) instead to Wildcare; two and a half hours later, she pulled up in front of the Center at Keough's Hot Springs. Safe distancing, staff members removed the box from Krista's car and rushed it to the medical exam area while Krista filled out an admission form. Staff Cindy Kamler and Danielle Manriquez were surprised to discover that the fox was not the commonly seen Gray Fox but a smaller, endangered species called Kit Fox. These small foxes inhabit arid and semi-arid regions encompassing desert shrub, creosote, chaparral and grasslands. The San Joaquin and Death Valleys hold most of the California kit fox population; few if any are seen north of that area. They are primarily nocturnal, spending most of the day in their underground dens. Mostly carnivorous, their major prey is Merriam's kangaroo rats; birds, rabbits and reptiles are less common prey. Examination found a comatose female, juvenile or adult, motionless except for slight twitching of the head. No cuts, fractures or bruises were seen except for bleeding from the right inner ear. She was treated for shock and given an anti-inflammatory for pain. Kit foxes do not drink water so she was given small amounts of sub-cutaneous fluid. For the next 4-5 days, she was motionless, eyes shut. Moving her into new positions was required every few hours, day and night. Nearly a week passed until she could lick blended raw meat from a syringe. She began to change position occasionally and, finally, opened her eyes and attempted to stand and move. A couple more weeks passed; she became more alert, her balance improved, and she could eat on her own. She was first moved outdoors into a small dirt-bottomed, dig-proof cage, sleeping most of the day in her burrow and active and eating at night. Currently, the kit fox is conditioning in a larger 8x8 escape-proof pen, eating well and becoming more and more wild. Jennifer, a Wildcare volunteer from Lone Pine, has explored the location near the spot where the fox was found. Our goal is to find a proper and safe release site, and that means we must learn as much as possible about Kit Fox behaviors. Kit foxes normally forage alone but are not exceptionally territorial. They prefer to live in pairs or small groups of relatives. Different kit fox families can occupy the same hunting grounds, but do not generally go hunting at the same time. Dens are used during the year for daytime resting, escaping predators, avoiding extreme heat, preserving moisture, and carrying and rearing young. The dens are spread across the home range, and an individual fox can use more than 11 dens in a given year. They normally rest in dens during the day, but sometimes emerge to bask.  Kit Foxes will dig their own dens, but can also modify and use the burrows of ground squirrels and kangaroo rats. We are happy to see that she continues to become more wild and alert, utilizing and exploring her territory. She is digging her burrow deeper as the weather gets colder, and hides when she sees a person. In the next few weeks, we will evaluate her hunting skills by offering her an occasional live prey. If all continues to go well, this beautiful Kit Fox will be released, returning to her home territory, wild and free.
