The program covers all aspects of easements from their creation (both written and unwritten), through interference, maintenance, overburdening, how they differ from licenses, the importance of recordation, reversionary rights, and the many ways in which they can be terminated or extinguished. The program is tailored to the laws and court decisions of California. Gary Kent The Schneider Corporation 10:00 am - 10:15 am Refreshment Break Regency A 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm Luncheon Regency B 3:30 pm - 3:45 pm Refreshment Break Regency A 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm CLSA Education Foundation Bowling Tournament Capitol Bowl Sunday, March 25, 2018 Schedule of Events 7:30 am - 6:30 pm Registration Open 7:30 am - 8:30 am Continental Breakfast 8:30 am - 10:00 am OPENING CEREMONIES AND KEYNOTE PRESENTATION Drones Redefining Accuracy and Precision? The use of drones as a tool in the surveying and mapping profession could potentially change and improve the way much of our work is done. However, today drone technology is making it feasible for non-professionals to produce map products traditionally created only by practitioners trained and skilled in land surveying and photogrammetry. The use of drones for mapping and surveying is raising concerns about accuracy and precision of map products being produced for engineering applications. In this presentation we will review the principles of accuracy and precision, and how they are being misunderstood or misused by non-professionals. George Southard GSKS Associates LLC

Sunday, March 25, 2018 (continued) 10:00 am - 10:30 am Break 10:30 am - 12:00 pm BREAKOUT (Technical): Golden State (2 nd floor) Best Practices in Drone Surveying Today Based on insights from starting drone programs for more than 100 surveyors, processing over 1,000 drone surveys, and spending over 800 hours in field testing and training, Aerotas co-founder Daniel Katz will provide key lessons on best practices for drone mapping today. Topics covered will include: Benchmarks for how an effective drone program should be benefitting a survey operation; Key components of a professional drone program; Current status of drone survey technology: what s a good investment and what s not; Live demo: efficiently extracting final line-work from drone data; Key limitations of using drones today: technology, regulation, and logistics. Daniel Katz Aerotas 10:30 am - 12:00 pm BREAKOUT (Legal & Boundary): Who Owns the Streets? A review of the status of street ownership through the years, statutes and case law. Ian Wilson BKF Engineers 10:30 am - 12:00 pm BREAKOUT (Business): Mentoring for Our Future An overview of mentoring and it s the importance in the land surveying profession.

Greg St. John Central Contra Costa Sanitary District Scott P. Martin, PLS California Department of Transportation 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm BREAKOUT (Legal & Boundary): Recent Developments in the Law of Easements and Boundary Disputes Review of recent appellate court decisions concerning easements & boundary disputes. David Roth Real Estate Law Offices of David L. Roth

Sunday, March 25, 2018 (continued) 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm BREAKOUT (Business): County Surveyors Discussion Panel Featuring Tom Herrin from San Bernardino County, Warren Smith from San Joaquin County, John Scarpa from the City of Sacramento and Kevin Hills from Orange County Public Works. MODERATOR: Ric Moore Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm BREAKOUT (LS Review): Carmel (2 nd floor) Water Boundaries Part 2 Water Boundaries continued from Part 1. Evan Page California State Lands Commission 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm Break 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm BREAKOUT (Technical): Golden State (2 nd floor) The Case for Low Distortion Projections Why LDP s are the future of geo-referenced coordinate systems for surveying/engineering. Brief history, recent proliferation, basic design objectives, advantages, practical solutions, software examples. Why all surveyors should become proficient with using different projections and embrace this trend. Bill Hurdle Jensen Design & Survey, Inc. 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm BREAKOUT (Legal & Boundary): PART 1 Boundary Line Agreements vs. Boundary Line Adjustments The Doctrine of Agreed Boundaries is one of the oldest legal processes for resolving and avoiding boundary disputes. The doctrine originates in England and was advanced in the United States when the country was settled. It was intended as a simple way to resolve uncertain boundary lines. Unfortunately, over the years, government municipalities have tried to assert control over agreements, actions that are contrary to the intent of this means of relief. Moreover, far too many public agencies are unfamiliar with the laws relating to agreed boundaries, something entirely different from a Boundary Line Adjustment. And too, many private Land Surveyors are unfamiliar with the differences. Mr. Pallamary will discuss these two important elements of boundary dispute resolution. Mr. Pallamary oversaw CLSA s role as Amicus curiae in the precedent setting case of San Dieguito Partnership v. City of San Diego (1992) 7 Cal.App.4th 748, 9 Cal.Rptr.2d 440. PART 2 Surveying After a Wildfire Mr. Pallamary served as a member of a blue-ribbon committee in the County of San Diego following devastating wild fires many years ago. The volunteer committee worked with the County Surveyor and together, they developed a sound approach to preserving and protecting land survey monuments while identifying a number of problems that arose following the fires. This approach benefited the public and involved the San Diego Chapter of CLSA in a beneficial manner. Following the recent fires across the state, there has been considerable confusion as to the best steps to take and, as with any emergency, there were no plans in place to deal with these problems, many of which were unprecedented. Those affected by the fires are encouraged to attend this session and participate, with a hope of developing a recommended plan of action for adoption by CLSA. Michael Pallamary Pallamary & Associates

Sunday, March 25, 2018 (continued) 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm BREAKOUT (Business): Solving the Hiring Crisis to Grow Your Survey Business After a record-setting 2017 construction season, land survey firms statewide are under pressure to grow to meet demand. However, a nationwide shortage of hireable survey staff presents a critical challenge, and a threat to the industry. In this keynote, Aerotas cofounder Daniel Katz will reveal key lessons from working with hundreds of land surveyors nationwide to grow their businesses without hiring: using drone technology to make efficiency a core business goal, making fundamental changes to how projects are priced and bid, strategically leveraging a wider breadth of business tools to maximize effectiveness and profit, and more. Daniel Katz Aerotas 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm BREAKOUT (LS Review): Carmel (2 nd floor) PLS Act A review of the PLS Act. Bill Hofferber UNAVCO 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm Exhibits Open 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm Icebreaker Reception in the Exhibit Hall Monday, March 26, 2018 7:30 am - 6:30 pm Registration Open 7:30 am - 8:30 am Continental Breakfast with Exhibitors 7:30 am - 6:30 pm Exhibits Open 8:30 am - 10:00 am BREAKOUT (Technical): Golden State (2 nd floor) NATRF2022, Simplifying the Process to a More Complicated National Spatial Reference System In 2022 the National Geodetic Survey will be implementing new horizontal and vertical datums for the USA and its protectorates. NATRF2022, the replacement for NAD83, attempts to reconcile crustal motion of the North American tectonic plate by resolving to the global ITRF system then rotating the coordinate axis to absorb the dominant motion east of the Rocky Mountains. For Geodetic surveying west of the Rocky Mountains, NATRF will be not much different from NAD83. Post 2022, surveyors will either need to rely strictly on local geodetic control, or be prepared to apply not one, but two transformation functions. First, reliable global coordinates from modern positioning technology will need to apply the current flavor of 14-parameter transformations absorbing Euler pole rotations, then apply an as-yet-undefined intra-plate velocity model. Existing scientific expertise and resources in California, and the intra-plate region, are world class. And our user community is the most experienced with surveying in a dynamic environment. This presentation describes the proposal going forward for the National Spatial Reference System, and the possibility to align California geodesy to the same reference system that enables our space-based Global Navigation Satellite Systems. Greg Helmer PSOMAS

Monday, March 26, 2018 (continued) 8:30 am - 10:00 am BREAKOUT (Legal & Boundary): Lot Line Adjustments: Purpose, Practice, and Use Review of purpose for lot line adjustments, practices around the state, the future of the LLA and how to use it as a tool for planning and land development. Ian Wilson BKF Engineers 8:30 am - 10:00 am BREAKOUT (Business): Risk Management for Surveyors This course is designed to help educate surveyors to the realities of liability in their practice. The program will review liability that surveyors necessarily incur as part of their practice and how they can mitigate their exposure. Sources of unnecessary surveyor liability will also be explored by exposing the things that surveyors inadvertently or unwisely do that increase their liability. In all cases, steps that surveyors can take to eliminate or at least mitigate their exposure will be outlined. Gary Kent The Schneider Corporation 8:30 am - 10:00 am BREAKOUT (LS Review): Carmel (2 nd floor) Public Lands Part 1 The Public Land Survey System is the original title conveyance basis for most of the private land in California. As such, it is critical that Land Surveyors and those studying for the Land Surveyor Examination are knowledgeable about the system, and when and how it applies to their work. With that in mind, this course will review the basics, but will also work through real situations and problems with the goal of promoting a deeper understanding of working with the system. Jim McCavitt Bureau of Land Management 10:00 am - 10:30 am Break with Exhibitors 10:30 am - 12:00 pm BREAKOUT (Technical): Golden State (2 nd floor) UAS s for the Masses This session will cover the establishment of a UAS program for an AEP firm. The program will cover the creation of a safety and training manual, integrating UAS workflows into dayto-day operations, managing UAS projects, and what the future holds. Ray Lillibridge OHM Advisors 10:30 am - 12:00 pm BREAKOUT (Legal & Boundary): The Evolution of Equitable Easement in California Review of the law governing encroaching structures & right of way. David Roth Real Estate Law Offices of David L. Roth 10:30 am - 12:00 pm BREAKOUT (Business): Safety and Health for Surveyors Survey field crews are routinely exposed to a wide variety of environmental and societal factors that compromise their safety. These can range from diseases such as Lyme disease to poisonous plants, and from confined space issues to construction-related hazards such as working in, on or around excavations and scaffolding. In this program, we will explore a number of the primary safety hazards that field crews encounter and how to recognize them by maintaining a constant awareness of one s surroundings. We will also review some of the primary safety-related metrics that clients may look at as part of their process of selecting a surveyor, and steps companies and employees can take to help control them. Finally, we will outline a variety of good practices that companies should maintain in order to help their employees get home safely each night. Gary Kent The Schneider Corporation

Monday, March 26, 2018 (continued) 10:30 am - 12:00 pm BREAKOUT (LS Review): Carmel (2 nd floor) Public Lands Part 2 Public Lands continued from Part 1. Jim McCavitt Bureau of Land Management 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm Awards Luncheon 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm BREAKOUT (Technical): Golden State (2 nd floor) Surveying/Geomatics and GIS Response for the California Oroville Dam Spillway Emergency Emergency response has become more challenging due to Public Works Infrastructure at or exceeding design lifespan, complications of climate change, and historic lack of investment in upgrades and maintenance. As an example of how California Department of Water Resources is adapting to such challenges, this presentation shows how surveying/geomatics and GIS services were utilized in the response to the Oroville Dam Spillway emergency in 2017. It includes introductory overview information about the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) National Incident Management (NIMS) and Incident Command Structure (ICS) and State of California contracting procurement practices. The main portion of the presentation is about surveying, mapping and GIS efforts utilized in the response effort. Technologies include LiDAR and photogrammetry, UAV disaster and construction monitoring, UAV Photogrammetry, Terrestrial LiDAR, Bathymetry, GIS for emergency response and for preservation of project data. Daniel Mardock California Department of Water Resources 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm BREAKOUT (Legal & Boundary): Becoming a Certified UAS (Drone) Pilot This presentation is detailed review of the steps needed to qualify for an FAA Remote Pilot Certificate (sometimes referred to a drone pilot s license). In the FAA regulations authorizing the use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for commercial (non-recreational) use, provision is made for the certification of UAS operators. This certification includes studying for and passing a Knowledge Test for remote pilots, filing an application for the remote pilot certificate and getting security clearance through the TSA. The objective of this course is to help potential remote pilots negotiate through the many documents, regulations and study materials provided by the FAA. George Southard GSKS Associates LLC 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm BREAKOUT (Business): The Purpose and History of CA State Lands Commission Few know that the Surveyor General was one of the first official positions to be created when California became a State. After some rearranging of agencies in the early 1900s, the licensing authority for surveyors was split off to the predecessor agency of today s BPELSG, but nearly all other duties and authority of the Surveyor General s Office eventually settled with the California State Lands Commission, formed in 1938. In this presentation, the audience learns what the State Lands Commission is, what it does, more specifically, what it s Boundary Unit does, and how the Commission, its records, and its surveyors can be a useful resource for practicing surveyors. Evan Page California State Lands Commission 1:30 pm - 3:00 pm BREAKOUT (LS Review): Carmel (2 nd floor) Public Lands Part 3 Public Lands continued from Part 2. Jim McCavitt Bureau of Land Management 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm Break with Exhibitors

Monday, March 26, 2018 (continued) 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm BREAKOUT (Technical): Golden State (2 nd floor) 3D Laser Scanning: 30 in 3 3D laser scanning continues to embed itself within our industry as a standard practice. Over the next few years the technology and related deliverables will become as common as the chain, transit, theodolite, rag tape, total station and GPS. However, how it is applied today on projects is extremely exciting as each and every project can be so different it makes your laser (head) spin. We will take a discovery tour of 30 different projects, 3 slides per project is the max, discovering how this technology is used on ranging projects from a 115 dam raise, to a hospital s operating rooms, to Beverly Hills Santa Monica Boulevard, to a mining town in Arizona, to the World s shortest railway, and to the runway of this past winters Victoria Secrets show in Bejing, China. Those and many others leverage the capture technology and more importantly the deliverables that are produced from it. Brian Laird Rick Engineering Co. 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm BREAKOUT (Legal & Boundary): PART 1 Liability Associated With Mapping Reversion Lines One of the greatest liabilities for many Land Surveyors involves the plotting of reversionary rights. It is a very confusing topic and in most instances, is a risky proposition. In far too many instances, many municipalities require that Land Surveyors plot the perceived location of these lines without proper research or an understanding of the applicable laws. Despite common perceptions, reversionary rights do not always extend to the centerline of the street. Mr. Pallamary will present litigated matters and boundary disputes involving the plotting of reversionary lines. Mr. Pallamary has compiled a compendium of the one hundred most important street reversion lawsuits that affect California law and the land surveying profession in connection with a future publication. PART 2 How to Beat a Speeding Ticket With Land Surveying There are many similarities in how the police and California laws apply to traffic tickets and the similar laws related to boundary surveying. Traffic tickets are generally governed by radar, speed, length, and other forms of measurement the same tools Land Surveyors use. Indeed, the laws related to the interpretation and application of the vehicle code have been interpreted by the California courts and are reflected in a number of published cases just as boundary laws are established. Far too many people are unfamiliar with the proper way to deal with traffic tickets and fines. If they apply the rules of measurement and law, speeding tickets can be defeated by applying the proper laws and tools. Michael Pallamary Pallamary & Associates 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm BREAKOUT (Business): Examining the Rules of Surveying Rules of thumb, common knowledge, standard operating procedure which rules agree with law and which are often applied arbitrarily? Evan Page California State Lands Commission 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm BREAKOUT (LS Review): Carmel (2 nd floor) GPS and Geodesy on the LS Exam This session will review basic geodesy concepts and Global Positioning System (GPS) relative surveying theory. Steve Martin East Bay Municipal Utility District 6:30 pm Cocktail Reception, Dinner and Scholarship Auction

Attendees will be presented with different use cases (e.g. surveying, mapping, mining and construction), an introduction to mapping standards and initiatives, and discussion on the different ways that imagery can improve efficiency when collecting field data. Benjamin Vander Jagt PixElement 8:30 am - 10:00 am BREAKOUT (Legal & Boundary): JPPC Panel Part 1 After short presentations from the State PPC and each of the Chapters represented in the panel, this year s panel discussion will focus primarily on the keys to success from the three most active Chapter-level PPCs. We hope to provide chapters wanting to form a new PPC or invigorate an existing PPC with ideas to increase local PPC activity and provide more value to the chapter and the community. MODERATOR: Evan Page California State Lands Commission Christopher Alberts Riverside/San Bernardino Chapter Sean Englert Orange County Chapter Jonathan Maddox Orange County Chapter 8:30 am - 10:00 am BREAKOUT (Business): Anyone Could Lead Perfect People... But there aren t any! This presentation will explore the severe lack of leadership we seem to experience so often in today s society. There is obviously a relentless deficiency of statesmanship in our politics, and unfortunately we frequently find the same in our business leaders. We sometimes appear to be on a rudderless path when it comes to leadership. Why is this and what will it take to right the direction that we feel ourselves headed in? And how does all of this play in the typical for-profit business? A number of exceedingly successful and high-performing companies such as Starbucks and Southwest Airlines practice a particular model of leadership that may be one answer to the dilemma. Southwest founder Herb Kelleher stated years ago, Your employees come first. If your employees are satisfied and happy and dedicated and inspired by what they are doing, then they make your customers happy and they come back. Profit is a by-product. This program will explore what this means as we look at the symptoms, causes and cures for this societal dilemma. Gary Kent The Schneider Corporation 8:30 am - 10:00 am BREAKOUT (Technical): Golden State (2 nd floor) NGS Onward to 2022: Replacing NAD83 & NAVD88 Bill and Dana will discuss the need to replace NAD 83 and NAVD 88 with new datums, namely NATRF2022 and NAPGD2022. Discussions will include common customer concerns, recent decisions, adopted naming conventions and blueprint documents. Also included will be the anticipated effects of the datum changes and some suggestions about user preparation. Dana Caccamise & Bill Stone National Geodetic Survey 10:00 am 10:30 am Break

Tuesday, March 27, 2018 (continued) 10:30 am - 12:00 pm BREAKOUT (Technical): Golden State (2 nd floor) GPS on Bench Marks: Discussing Contributions, Better Tools and Models (WE NEED YOU!) NGS encourages its partners to perform GPS on Bench Marks for not only National Surveyors Week, March 18-24, 2018. The benefits of community-collected GPS on BM data contributions will persist beyond GEOID18.The discussion will focus on recommendations for observing marks to help improve GEOID18 (a new hybrid geoid model to replace GEOID12B) and the transformation tools that will be developed with the new datums in 2022. Dana Caccamise & Bill Stone National Geodetic Survey 10:30 am - 12:00 pm BREAKOUT (Legal & Boundary): JPPC Panel Part 2 JPPC Panel continued from Part 1 MODERATOR: Evan Page California State Lands Commission Christopher Alberts Riverside/San Bernardino Chapter Sean Englert Orange County Chapter Jonathan Maddox Orange County Chapter 10:30 am - 12:00 pm BREAKOUT (Business): Ethics & Standards for California Land Surveyors In this program, we outline the state s ethics statutes and rules, and discuss various scenarios that surveyors may find themselves in. The speaker draws on his 14 years as a state board of registration member and liaison to the state Attorney General s office to explain problems and issues that surveyors encounter (or create) no matter what state they practice in, including complaints, hearings and sanctions.
