FREAK REGULATION REPORTING
SYSTEMS.
ON ISSUE NUMBER SEVEN.
THANK YOU CHAIR BOTTOM.
THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING OUR
REQUEST TO SUPPORT THE
REPLACEMENT OF OUR FREIGHT
REGULATIONS REPORTING SYSTEM.
WHERE WE ARE REQUESTING ONE
MILLION EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
WHICH INCLUDES FOUR HUNDRED
FIFTY THOUSAND FOR THE INITIAL
DEPLOYMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE REPLACEMENT SYSTEM? AND SIX
HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
FOR TEMPORARY FUNDING AT FIVE P.
WISE TO PROVIDE PROGRAM
DEVELOPMENT. AN IN HOUSE SUPPORT
SERVICES.
AT THE CURRENT REPORTING SYSTEM
IS A WEB BASED
AND IT AUTOMATES THE
REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR
REGULATED PARTIES UNDER OUR
TRANSPORTATION TRANSTAR
TRANSPORT REFRIGERATION UNIT AND
DRAINAGE TRUCK REGULATIONS.
THE SYSTEM OPERATES TWENTY FOUR
HOURS A DAY SEVEN DAYS A WEEK
THREE AND SIXTY FIVE DAYS A
YEAR.
AND IT PROVIDES CRITICAL REAL
TIME INFORMATION ABOUT THE
COMPLIANCE STATUS.
FOR OVER TWO HUNDRED FORTY
THOUSAND TRUCKS THAT VISIT
CALIFORNIA'S PORTS AND RAIL
YARDS EACH YEAR.
PORTANTINO YARD AUTHORITIES AND
MARINE TERMINAL OPERATORS
MONITORING INCOMING TRUCKS.
SEEK AN INSTANTANEOUS RESPONSE
FROM CARB SYSTEM REQUIRE GRIP
REGARDING THE COMPLIANCE STATUS
OF EACH TRACK.
NONCOMPLIANCE TRUCKS ARE DENIED
ACCESS OR REPORTED TO CAR.
IN TOTAL TEN PORTS DOES TEND
PUBLIC PORTS FOURTEEN PRIVATE
PORTS AND ELEVEN RAIL YARDS.
USE THE SYSTEM TO VERIFY THE
COMPLIANCE STATUS OF INCOMING
DREDGE TRUCK.
AND IT AUTOMATES THE
REGISTRATION OF OVER A HUNDRED
SIXTY THOUSAND TRUCKS AND
TRAILERS WITH TRANSFER CASE
TRANSPORT REFRIGERATION UNITS
OPERATING CALIFORNIA.
THE ISSUE IS REALLY THAT THIS
SYSTEM IS.
NEEDS TO BE UPDATED TO THE
LATEST OF A TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY
I'M IT USES A SYSTEM THAT IS NO
LONGER SUPPORTED AND FOR WHICH
PEOPLE AREN'T TRAINED. SO IT'S
DIFFICULT OF AND HAVE SUPPORT
STAFF NOT IN ORDER TO KEEP THE
SYSTEM RUNNING YOU CAN SEE IT'S
CRITICAL THAT IT MAINTAIN. OF IT
YOU KNOW IT'S GOOD THAT IT'S UP
AND RELIABLE.
OTHERWISE WE END UP RUNNING AND
CONGESTION AND THE PORTS SO WE
ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT. AND SOME
OF FAR FOR FRESH VEGETABLES AND
PRODUCTS.
GET THE FROSTED I'M ALEJO YOU
HAD A AYE CONCERN OVER THE. NOT
SO MUCH THE NEED OF REPLACING
THE OBSOLETE AYE SYSTEM BUT WHAT
THE.
.
HI SEQUENCING I GUESS EXACTLY
ADDS VERY SIMILAR COMMENS TO
OUR.
COMMENTS ON THE PREVIOUS ITEM
DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE
NEED FOR THE SYSTEM JUST TRYING
TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HEAD OF
THAT THE COSTS IN THE THE
OVERALL COST AND HOW IT WILL BE
FUNDED.
FINANCE ANYTHING.
OKAY LET'S OPEN AND. COMMENTS BY

A RULES THAT ARE VITAL TO
REDUCING EMISSIONS AND
PROTECTING PUBLIC HEALTH.
OKAY LET'S CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO PROVE
LIKED IT. AND WILL BE BACK HERE
NEXT YEAR'S WOULD LIKE TO SEE
WHERE WE. WERE THE SUCCESS THAT
WE HAVE IN THAT THE SYSTEM IS
NOT USES REGULAR.
UPDATE IS THAT IF WE HAVE THESE
TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS THAT
EVERYBODY'S CONCERNED ABOUT AND
WE GO THROUGH THE NEXT FISCAL
YEAR LIKE SEE HOW THEIR HOW
THEY'RE OPERATING BECAUSE I
THINK THAT. THE PUBLIC DOES
HAPPEN.
A CONCERN MOLD ENTERTAIN A
MOTION AT THIS TIME.
CENTER STERN THIS IS A.
APPROVED IS BUDGETED PLEASE CALL

WIECKOWSKI AYE. NIELSEN.
MCGUIRE.

IT WILL KEEP THAT MATTER OPENED
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ISSUE
NUMBER EIGHT IS OUR OFF ROAD.
VEHICLE AN AFTERMARKET PARTS.
PLEASE
SIGNATURE I YES A CAR REQUESTS A
TOTAL OF TEN POSITIONS AND JUST
OVER ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION
DOLLARS FROM THE AIR POLLUTION
CONTROL FUND.
STRENGTHEN AND BROADEN ITS
MOBILE SOURCE OVERSIGHT PROGRAM
TO COVER ALL CATEGORIES
INCLUDING OFF ROAD ENGINES AFTER
MARKET PARTS AND COMPONETS.
THESE POSITIONS WILL HELP ENSURE
THAT OFFERED ENGINES AND
AFTERMARKET PARTS ACTUALLY MEET
OR DO NOT INTERFERE WITH THE
STRANGE AN ENGINE EMISSIONS
STANDARDS THEY'RE CERTIFIED TO.
NOT ONLY AT THE TIME OF APPROVAL
BUT AS THEY ARE OPERATED IN THE
REAL WORLD.
THIS IS CRITICAL FOR CALIFORNIA
TO ACHIEVE HEALTH BASED
STANDARDS ADDRESS ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE ISSUES. AND TO MEET
STATE AND FEDERAL AMBIENT AIR
QUALITY STANDARDS.
CURRENTLY OFFROAD AN AFTERMARKET
PARTS MANUFACTURERS DO NOT PAY A
FEE FOR THE EVALUATION AND
APPROVAL OF THEIR PRODUCTS.
ONLY ON ROAD ENGINES AND
VEHICLES ABOUT ONE THIRD OF THE
TOTAL.
OF THOSE APPROVED PAY A FEE
WHICH IS CURRENTLY CAPPED.
THE TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE
PROVIDES THE STATUTORY AUTHORITY
TO START WORKING ON A REGULATION
TO DEVELOP A FEE METHODOLOGY FOR
OFF ROAD AFTERMARKET PARTS AND
OTHER NON FEE COMPONENTS AND
ENGINES.
THE METHODOLOGY WILL CREATE A
CALCULATION TO RECOUP THE COST
TO RUN THE PROGRAM.
THE BUDGET REQUESTS INCLUDES
WERE CONTAINS A HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY FIVE.
THOUSAND IN ANNUAL CONTRACT
FUNDING IT AS THEY DEVELOP THIS
FEE IS THIS COULD BE A FETUS
COULD HAVE PAID FOR THE WHOLE.
AMOUNT OR IS ARE YOU ANTICIPATE
THAT.
GENERAL FUND SPENDING OF A
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE
THOUSAND OR I READING THAT
WRONG.
MAY I SEE WILL GIVING SEED MONEY
RIGHT NOW TO HELP DEVELOP THIS
FEE FOR THESE AFTER.
MARKET PARTS.
IS THAT NOT CORRECT.
OF.
CHRIS DAVIS TO BOND FINANCE BY.
THE INTENTION OF.
.
THE I HIT SEND FIVE THOUSAND ON
GOING.
IT WOULD BE.
COVERAGE THROUGH THE FEE
PROCESS WHEN THE DIFFUSE
DEVELOPED AND SO WE IT WOULD NOT
NEED A GENERAL FUND. ON GOING TO
COVER THE COST.
RIGHT BUT NOW WE'RE DOING THE
SCENE A I GUESS THE QUESTION IS.
IS THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR ONE
POINT SEVEN MILLION IS SAID THIS
YEAR AND AND PART OF THAT
IS-GOING TO BE. A HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY FIVE IN ONGOING ANNUAL
CONTRACT FUNDING AND I'M JUST
WARNING ON THAT JUST A SLICE OF
THE.
HOW ONGOING IS THAT THAT IS MY
QUESTION?
IS THAT IS THAT.
I'M GOING FOR ONE MORE YEAR IS
IT IS IT FOREVER AND EVER.
ALLI A WHICH SWITCH YOUR TAKE
YEAH OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE
PROPOSAL IS THAT BOTH A CONTRACT
FUNDING AS WELL AS THE POSITIONS
ARE WOULD BE PROVIDED ON AN
ONGOING BASIS TO CONDUCT THESE
REGULATORY ACTIVITIES ON AN
ONGOING BASIS.
OKAY SCRIPT I BUT THE FEE WILL
PAY FOR IT EVENTUALLY THAT'S
RIGHT GUARANTEE.

ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT I. IN
AFFECTS BUSINESSES ALL ACROSS
THE COUNTRY THEY ALL COME TO THE
AIR BE TO GET THE EEO SASINE IS
VERY COMMITTED TO THE
COMPLAINTS.
A WITH AIR QUALITY STANDARDS AND
SO THEY URGED DE STOP
RECOMMENDATION TODAY OF
APPROVING THE BODIES TO MAKE
SURE THAT THERE'S A LOW BARRIER
TO COME IN AND MAKE SURE THAT
THE AIR QUALITY IS NOT. IMPAIRED
BY A THE AFTERMARKET PARTS AND
SO I THAT'S OUR QUESTION IS
APPROVE THE BODIES AND WE'RE
HAPPY TO CONTINUE THE
CONVERSATION ON THE FEET. THINK
VERY MUCH.
OKAY LESS CLOSE THE YEAR THE
PUBLIC HEARING STAFF
RECOMMENDATION.
FOR THE MOTION IS TO PROVE THAT.
THAT THE BUDGET.
PVC AS.
BUDGETED BUT HOLD OPEN IT AND
THE TV I.
THE WORLD.
AND WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON
THAT.
SINCE JOHN MOVES PLEASE CALL THE

I HAVE SEEN. BY. NIELSEN.
MCGUIRE.

RIGHT THANK YOU VERY MUCH WILL
MOVE TO THE LAST COUNT THERE
MATTER WHICH IS ISSUE NUMBER
NINE. I BELIEVE MISTER.
TOMMY IS COMING UP.
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF.
FINANCE.
SYMBOL OF.
I ALSO HAVE RENTAL WIND WINSTON.
NOW.
TRIVIA BOX.
AN ENTRY A BROWN.
BARNES SKIS ME WITH THE.
MY BANK.
GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY PLEASE
PROCEED AYE MR AYE YES A GOOD
MORNING I MET ON THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE.
OF THE ADMINISTRATION IS
PROPOSING A ONE POINT
TWO FIVE BILLION DOLLAR CAP AND
TRADE EXPENDITURE PLAN FOR
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN. THE
PRIORITIES OF THE CAPITAL
EXPENDITURE PLAN WERE INFORMED.
BY SEVERAL CONSIDERATIONS
FIRST
BUT CONSISTENCY WITH A B. THREE
NINETY EIGHT EXPENDITURE
PRIORITIES. BLASTED THE
LEGISLATURE ENACTED A. B. THREE
NINETY EIGHT.
WHICH SPECIFIED THE FOLLOWING
EXPENDITURE PRIORITIES PASTRAMI
CAN I STOP YOU SIR PLEASE I
THINK WE'VE HAD A DISCUSSION
WITH.
MARY NICHOLS BEFORE AT THAT IN
THE ALEJO AND HAS BEEN PRETTY.
PRETTY CLEAR THAT WE BELIEVE
THAT A. B. THIRTY TWO IS
CONTROLLING AT LEAST IN FISCAL
YEAR EIGHTEEN NINETEEN NINETEEN
TWENTY IN SEATTLE FISCAL YEAR.
TWENTY TWENTY ONE WHEN THEY WHEN
I AB THREE NINETY EIGHT AS FAR
AS THE EXPENDITURE PLAN AS. OF
EVERY I'VE WE'VE HAD THOSE
CONVERSATIONS WITH WITH THAT.
THE GOVERNORS AT THE HEARING ON
THREE NINE EIGHT WITH VERY CLEAR
ABOUT ABOUT OUR. BUT THAT THAT
THE EXPENDITURE PLAN MUST BE
CONSISTENT WITH A. B. THIRTY TWO
NOT AB THREE NINETY EIGHT
BECAUSE AB THREE NINETY EIGHT
CLICK SAN. IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE
AND WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE AN
EXPENDITURE PLAN.
CONSISTENT WITH A. B. THIRTY TWO
IN THE MITIGATION SO PLEASE
PROCEED WITH YOUR PREPARED
REMARKS BUT I I WANNA STOP YOU
BECAUSE. THAT'S NOT THE FIRST
TIME IT'S COMMENDED THIS SHARES
MOUTH THE CONSISTENCY WOULD WITH
THAT AB THIRTY TWO AND WE DO
HAVE SOME QUESTIONS
ABOUT. THE PLAN THIS PROPOSED
BUT I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO.
HAVING EVERY TIME THE FINANCE
COMES COMES BEFORE US AND
GREENHOUSE GAS EXPENDITURE PLAN
AND START MOVING INTO IN A BEAT.
THREE NINE EIGHT BECAUSE IT IT.
EXPAND SEE OPERATIVE OVER THE.
THE.
.
EXPANDS THE CLASSIFICATIONS OF
WHAT MONIES ARE APPROPRIATELY
USE FOR IT SPENDING GREENHOUSE
GAS FUNDS IN WHICH YOU'RE NOT.
A IN I WOULD SAY THAT IF YOU
LOOK AT THE SEVEN CATEGORIES
THAT ARE IDENTIFIED HERE AS WELL
AS THE ADMINISTRATION'S
EXPENDITURE PLAN. THERE'S.
THERE IS CONSISTENCY WITH A. B.
THIRTY TWO AND THE FACT THAT THE
EXPENDITURES STILL HAVE THE SAME
REQUIREMENTS. IT.
DEPARTMENTS NEED TO CERTIFY
THAT THE EXPENDITURES RESULTS
IN.
EMISSION REDUCTIONS SO.
IN OUR VIEW BY AIR TOXIC COULD
CRITERIA POLLUTANTS LIKE CARBON
TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES
HEALTHY FOR A SHORT LIVED
CLIMATE POLLUTANTS TO ALIGN WITH
A VERY.
ARCHITECTURE THAT.
YOU'RE REFERRING TO.
AND WE BELIEVE THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSAL IS
CONSISTENT WITH.
THAT.
EXPENDITURE REDUCTION
REQUIREMENTS AS SPECIFIED IN AB
THIRTY TWO. IN ADDITION.
BENEFITS TO DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES EXISTING LAW
REQUIRES THAT AT LEAST THIRTY
FIVE PERCENT OF CAP AND TRADE
EXPENDITURES BENEFIT.
DISADVANTAGED AND LOW NCOME
COMMUNITIES IN THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSAL IS
CONSISTENT WITH THIS
REQUIREMENT.
ANOTHER CONSIDERATION WAS THE
AVAILABILITY OF OTHER FUNDING
SOURCES OF FOR EXAMPLE THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSAL
ACCOUNTS FOR THE FACT THAT S. B.
FIVE. OF THE PROPOSED PARK SOME
WATER BOND INCLUDES FUNDING FROM
SO SEVERAL PROGRAMS US SUCH AS
URBAN GRINNING IN URBAN FORESTRY
THAT HAVE BEEN FUNDED PREVIOUSLY
FROM CAP AND TRADE.
SO BASED ON THESE CONSIDERATIONS
BICU MINISTRATIONS CARPENTRY
PLAN DOES TWO THINGS. ONE IT
BUILDS ON THE FRAMEWORK OF THE
TWENTY SEVENTEEN CAP AND TRADE
PACKAGE.
INTO IT SUPPORTS SEVERAL NEW
INITIATIVES.
IN TERMS OF BUILDING ON LAST
YEAR'S CAP AND TRADE PACKAGE THE
PROPOSAL CONTINUES THE
COMMITMENT. TO THE GOALS OF AB
SIX SEVENTEEN.
AND IT PROVIDES PROPORTIONATE
FUNDING TO LOOK CARBON
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS
HEALTHY FORESTS.
INCOME AND SMART AGRICULTURE.
THE PROPOSAL ALSO SUPPORTS
SEVERAL NEW INITIATIVES
INCLUDING ZERO EMISSION
VEHICLES.
WHICH WAS INITIALLY WAS HEARD A
COUPLE WEEKS AGO ON THIS
COMMITTEE. THE CALIFORNIA.
INTEGRATED CLIMATE INVESTMENT
PROGRAM IN THE CALIFORNIA
CLIMATE CHANGE TECHNOLOGY AND
SOLUTIONS INITIATIVE.
SO BEFORE I TURN THE MICROPHONE
OVER TO MY FELLOW COLLEAGUES TO
DISCUSS THESE INITIATIVES IN
MORE DETAIL I WOULD LIKE FIX ITS
OPPORTUNITY WHAT THE
SUBCOMMITTEE NO THAT LAST WEEK.
THE ADMINISTRATION RELEASED ITS
ANNUAL REPORT ON CAP AND TRADE
AUCTION PROCEEDS. THIS REPORT IS
PROVIDED PURSUANT TO AB FIFTEEN
THIRTY TWO WHICH REQUIRES AN
ANNUAL REPORT ON THE STATUTES OF
PROJECTS FUNDED BY GREENHOUSE
GAS REDUCTION FUND MONIES. AND
THEIR OUTCOMES.
THESE REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISH A
FRAMEWORK OF TRANSPARENCY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE CAP AND
TRADE PROGRAM.
SOME HIGHLIGHTS TO DATE THREE
BILLION DOLLARS HAS BEEN
AWARDED.
TWO BILLION DOLLARS HAS BEEN
DISBURSED APPROXIMATELY.
TURNING EIGHTEEN THOUSAND
PROJECTS. IN OVER THE LIFETIME
OF THESE IMPLEMENTED PROJECTS
THESE INVESTMENTS ARE ESTIMATED
TO REDUCE.
TWENTY THREE MILLION TONS OF
GHG EMISSION REDUCTIONS.
I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT.
IN ADDITION TO THE INITIATIVES
THAT I WILL HAVE MY COLLEAGUES
PRESENT ON.
THE BUDGET PROPOSAL ALSO
INCLUDES TWENTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS FOR.
KELLY YES
FOR.
ADDITIONAL FIRE ENGINES TO
SUPPORT THE STATE'S MUTUAL AID
SYSTEM. WITHOUT ALTERNATE OVER
TO MR WINSTON.
THANK YOU MISTER ALL MEAN GOOD
MORNING I CHECKED MY CAT SCANS
IT SENATORS. RANDALL WINSTON
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE SPEECH
EQUIPPED COUNCIL NOMINEES BE
SPEAKING ABOUT THE.
THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
PROPOSED FOR THE CALIFORNIA
CLIMATE CHANGE TECHNOLOGY AND
SOLUTIONS INITIATIVE BUT WE
REALLY DO SEE THIS. INITIATIVE
AS AN EVOLUTION OF THE ELEVEN
MILLION DOLLARS APPROPRIATED FOR
CLIMATE CHANGE RESEARCH.
AND IN THE BUDGET FROM LAST
YEAR EXCEPT WITH A NEW FOCUS ON
ACCELERATING THE DEPLOYMENT AND
COMMERCIALIZATION OF LOW
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION
TECHNOLOGIES TOOLS AND
APPROACHES A SPECIFICALLY
LEAKING LINKING TO THE PRIVATE
SECTOR AND ND ENTREPRENEURS.
WE ARE NOT INTENDING HERE TO
DUPLICATE EFFORTS. UNDERWAY WITH
REGARD TO RESEARCH OF THE SEA
SEA AIR RESOURCES BOARD OR
OTHERWISE BUT REALLY TO PUT A
SHARPER FOCUS ON DRAWING FROM
THE BEST OF OUR STATES ACADEMIC.
AND PRIVATE SECTOR ENTITIES AND
INNOVATORS.
TO MEET OUR CLIMATE GOALS I
THROUGH THE FACILITATION
GREENHOUSE GAS PRODUCTION.
SUMS HIM TO DO TWO THINGS HERE
RELATIVELY QUICKLY ONE HAS
DESCRIBED THE.
ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS THAT WAS
APPROPRIATED TO RESEARCH IN.
AGAIN THE LAST.
BUDGET CYCLE AND THE BRIDGE TO
THIS THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLAR
PROGRAM AND SECOND THAT STAR
DESCRIBED IT THE GOVERNANCE IN
THE STRUCTURE WITH REGARD TO
THAT THAT THAT THE THIRTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS THAT WE'RE
THINKING OF US FAR. SO WITH THE
ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS
APPROPRIATED LAST YEAR.
THE APRIL THIRTEENTH AND WILL
MAKE
AWARD RECOMMENDATIONS.
TO OUR COUNCIL ON JULY THIRTY
FIRST. ELIGIBLE FOR THIS
PROGRAM.
INCLUDES YOU SEIZE THE ISSUES
PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS HERE IN
CALIFORNIA AS WELL AS FEDERAL
LABORATORIES NUMBER FOCUSING ON
FOR RESEARCH PRIORITIES BUT THAT
WE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN A FIFTH.
PRIORITY AGAIN TO BRIDGE TO THE
THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS UP
QUICKLY STATE WITH THOSE FOR FOR
PRIORITIES ARE FIRST SUPPORTING
PROTECTING VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES FROM THE IMPACTS OF
CLIMATE CHANGE.
ACCELERATING IN SUPPORTING
TRANSITIONS TO CLIMB IT'S MORE
COMMUNITIES.
THIRD INTEGRATING LAND USE
CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT AND
CALIFORNIA'S CLIMATE CHANGE
PROGRAMS IN FOURTH INCREASING
DATA ACCESSIBILITY IN PLANNING
SUPPORT FOR LOCAL AND REGIONAL
CLIMATE CHANGE PLANNING AT THOSE
OF THE FOUR PRIORITIES WHICH
WHERE.
MAKING FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR
ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS AGAIN WE
POINT TO A FIFTH PRIORITY IN THE
PLAN WHICH WERE NOT AND WRITING
FUNDING BUT WE HOPE TO DO SO. IN
THIS WITH THIS NEW.
PROPOSED FUNDING THAT IS LOW
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION
TRANSFORMATIVE TECHNOLOGY
DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT AND
WE HAVE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF
GRANTS THAT WE'RE WORKING AGAIN
WITH THE ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS.
A A SMALLER GRANT RECALLING
RESEARCH PROJECT GRANTS IN THE
ORDER OF A HUNDRED THOUSAND TO A
MILLION DOLLARS. FUNDING.
SPECIFIC.
RESEARCH PROJECTS XC MEET FOCUS
ON A SPECIFIC TOPIC.
AND IN RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP
GRANTS AT THE WILL OF THE LEVEL
OF A MILLION TO FOUR MILLION
DOLLARS REALLY MEANT TO FUND
RESEARCH CONSORZIO
COLLABORATIONS CENTERS ARE
PARTNERSHIPS. THAT ARE LOOKING
AT CROSS CUTTING TOPICS AND
AGAIN ALL ALL OLDER DRIVING
TOWARDS THE FACILITATION OF
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION.
INTO SECOND TO START DESCRIBE A
BIT ABOUT THE GOVERNANCE AND
STRUCTURE OF A FOR THE ELEVEN
MILLION DOLLARS NOW THAT BRIDGES
TO THE THIRTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS.
WE ARE FORMING AN ADVISORY
COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF
ACADEMICS AT BOTH THE AREAS THAT
WILL FOCUS ON.
WITH THE NEWER MONIES AND ALL
THE MOST IMPORTANT NEED TO BE
ABLE TO UNDERTAKE A PUBLIC
PROCESS WHERE WE HEAR INPUT.
FROM SOME OF OUR LEADING
INSTITUTIONS THOSE WHO ARE DOING
WORK IN THIS AREA AGAIN ENSURING
THAT WE AREN'T DUPLICATING
EFFORTS AND OBVIOUSLY.
A HEARING FROM THE INPUT OF OF
YOU ALL AND AND OTHERS TO ALL
ALL ALL STOP THERE AND HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT SEEMS
TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE REPORT
THAT WE RECEIVED LAST WEEK. FROM
THE OFFICE OF RESEARCH AND HIRED
HAD REQUESTED.
A BACKGROUND PAPER ON
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND HOW BEST
TO.
SET UP OF. A TECHNICAL ADVISORY
COMMITTEE AND ALSO NOT.
.
COOL FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND
AND THE.
A NATIONAL LABS AND AND THAT
UNIVERSITIES THAT ARE THAT ARE
HERE.
I GUESS THROUGH THE QUESTION
THAT I DON'T HAVE COULD HAVE
BEEN. JUST HEARING ABOUT IT NOW
I HAVE BEEN REVIEWED THE REPORT.
DO YOU KNOW IF THEY'RE ANY
INCONSISTENCIES IN THE
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE RECEIVE
FROM THE OFFICE RESEARCH.
WE RECEIVED A REPORT LAST WEEK
ON HOW WE WOULD STRUCTURE
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ON CLIMATE.
WHICH IS.
WHAT WHAT QUIRK CALLING FOUGHT
HERE WITH THIRTY FIVE MILLION?
I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY IN
INCONSISTENCIES IN THAT REPORT
YOU KNOW I WILL SAY FOR THE YOU
KNOW THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE THAT
WERE FORMING FOR THE ELEVEN
MILLION DOLLARS.
WE SEE IS A DISTINCTIVE
DISTINCT ARE KIND OF A YOU KNOW
A PRECURSOR TO WHAT WOULD BE THE
ADVISORY OUR TECHNICAL MEET
COMMITTEE THAT WOULD FORM YOU
KNOW IF IF WE WERE TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH A THIRTY FIVE
THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
PRESENTLY THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
WE ARE LOOKING FOR LOOKING AT. A
RESEARCHERS PREDOMINATELY THE
ACADEMIC SPACE NOT. IN IN IN IN
THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO BE PART OF
THAT COMMITTEE BUT WE WOULD WE
WOULD EXPAND ITS I I BELIEVE
IT'S CONSISTENT BUT I BUT THAT
WE NEED TO TO LOOK AT THE BOARD
TO BE TO BE SHORTENED. ONE THEY
HAD FOR. BLOCK BUILDING BLOCKS
AND IN ONE OF HIS SUPPLY
RESEARCH BASIC RESEARCH AND I'M
WONDERING WHAT. YOUR THOUGHTS
ARE AND GIVEN THE.
THE NATIONAL DIRECTION OF
REMOVING MOVING AWAY FROM
CLIMATE RESEARCH AND SOME OF THE
PROJECTS THERE.
.
MIDWAY THROUGH OR IN PRODUCT
DEVELOPMENT THAT ARE BEING
ABANDONED.
WHAT RULE CALIFORNIA MAY PICK
MAY PLAY IN CAIRO GRABBING THOSE
RESEARCHERS WERE PROVIDED FOR
THIS RESEARCH RESEARCHERS SO
THAT'S ONE QUESTION AND THEN THE
OTHER QUESTION IS IS? IS THIRTY
FIVE MILLION ENOUGH GIVEN THIS
UNIQUE TIME WE HAVE IN. IN.
FORMULATING PLANS THAT WE HAVE
TO.
COMPLY WITH PARIS AND WE'RE
GOING TO KATOWICE IN. DECEMBER
AND NATION'S DISPOSED HAVE THEIR
PLANS TOGETHER AND WHETHER THAT
THAT.
ISN'T ENOUGH VOTE INVESTMENT IN
THIS UNKNOWN RESEARCH FEEL. GOOD
HERE TO RISK TO RESPOND TO YOUR
FIRST QUESTION I THINK YOU YOU
YOU TOUCH UPON A CRITICAL POINT
I I DO THINK THAT YOU KNOW WE
ABSOLUTELY CAN PLAY A CRITICAL
ROLE IN HELPING TO TO FILL THAT
GAP. WE WENT ON ON A BIT OF A
LISTENING TOUR BACK IN THE FALL
THIS PAST FALL WHEN REFORM IN
THE FIRST SET OF GUIDELINES TO
SPEAKING WITH EACH OF OUR HAD
THE KEY INSTITUTIONS HERE IN IN
IN IN CALIFORNIA.
OR UC'S OUR OWN FEDERAL
LABORATORIES CAL TECH STANFORD
THE INTO THE LIST COULD GO ON ON
HEARING TIME AND. TIME AGAIN.
ENDEAVORS UNDER WAY.
IN WHICH THERE MIGHT BE YOU
KNOW GAPS IN FUNDING DISS DISS
YOU DESCRIBE BUT MAYBE MORE
IMPORTANTLY MORE AMBITIOUSLY
HOW.
CALIFORNIA CAN CONTINUE TO PLAY
A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN. SUPPORTING
THOSE EFFORTS AND BEYOND TO
ACCELERATE GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTION.
THAT THERE MIGHT BE AND I THINK
THEY WERE POINTING TO THOSE
AREAS OF RESEARCH WHERE THERE
THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOME OF
FUNDING GAPS INSOFAR AS BRINGING
THAT RESEARCH FROM. DEVELOPMENT
THROUGH TO DEPLOYMENT AND
COMMERCIALIZATION AND PERHAPS
THERE IS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN
THAT THAT THE STATE CAN PLAY
UNOPENED GIFT OF TO FILL THAT TO
FILL THAT GAP SO YOU KNOW.
ABSOLUTELY I DO THINK THERE'S A
CRITICAL A CRITICAL TO CONTINUE
TO THINK THROUGH.
IN THAT SECOND PIECE I MIGHT
TELL YOU KNOW HOUSE MY COLLEAGUE
HERE BACK NOT ONLY TO TO WAY AND
BUT.
YOU KNOW THERE'S THERE'S.
I THINK NO NO SORT OF IT SORT
IS OF INTEREST THAT WE'RE
HEARING FROM FELTMAN BANK I
BANG.
AND I REQUEST IS A SIMPLE ONE
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS. FROM
THE.
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION FUND.
TO BE USED IN AYE BANKS CLEAN
CENTER WHICH IS LIKE OUR GREEN
BANK IS THE CALIFORNIA LENDING.
FOR ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
NEEDS CENTER.
TO FINANCE
CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS
FOR MUNICIPALITIES. PUBLIC
UNIVERSITIES SCHOOLS AND
HOSPITALS. AND THIS TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS WILL HELP THE
STATE MEET.
HELP THE STATE MEET THE GOALS OF
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION. AS
WELL AS IMPROVE CLIMATE
RESILIENCY.
AND.
WE WOULD PUT A UC'S FUNDS IN
OUR BOTTOM.
STATE LAW AND CALL IT THE SWEET
THE A STATEWIDE ENERGY
EFFICIENCY PROGRAM. AND THE
CLEAN PROJECTS INCLUDE ENERGY
EFFICIENCY.
A RENEWABLE ENERGY ENERGY
STORAGE.
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES
ALTERNATIVE FUEL AND CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION. AND THE
FINANCINGS ARE LOW COST
FINANCINGS TO OUR.
OUR. LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND AND
BORROWERS. AND THEN THE
FINANCINGS WILL THEN BE
LEVERAGE.
TO GARNER ADDITIONAL FUNDS BY
ISSUING BONDS THAT WE CAN
LEVERAGE WITH THE TWENTY MILLION
DOLLARS.
WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS. A A
WAIT TO SEE YOU TO SUSTAINABLE
PROGRAM AND WILL HELP WITH THE
QUICK A GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION
GOALS.
UNDER THE NEW INTEGRATED
CLIMATE INVESTMENT PROGRAM.
WELL I'M SURE THE.
ALEJO WOULD APPLY TAKING.
MONEY AND FROM.
.
I ENTITIES UNDERNEATH THE CAP
AND SPENDING IT ON A REDUCING.
GREENHOUSE GASES THAT ARE NOT
UNDERNEATH THE CAP THAT WOULD BE
ONE OF OUR THRESHOLD OF GOALS
THAT WE WANT TO HAVE DONE HERE
AND NOT GET SICK SPEAK FOR
MISTER BROWN I GUESS THE
QUESTION IS IS. IS TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS OF LEVERAGE
ENOUGH.
YOU KNOW IT WHEN I LOOK AT THE
BIG PICTURE AND YOU'RE LOOKING
EVEN NAME POSSIBLE SHE MADE
MUNICIPALITIES YOU'VE NAMED
OTHER ENTITIES IT MAY BE.
STUCK IN THE OLD WORLD OF.
BURNING CARBON THAT THAT'S NOT
ENOUGH TO GET IN WHAT DID.
THIS IS AN INITIAL REQUEST
INITIAL INTRODUCTION
RIGHT TWENTY RIGHT THIS IS AN
INITIAL REQUEST AND WE. ARE I
THINK WE USE THE WORD TO SEED.
US A STARTING TO PLANT THE SEED.
IN FISCAL YEAR TWENTY SIXTEEN
TWENTY SEVENTEEN. I BANK
RECEIVED A HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
THREE ENQUIRIES.
WITH RESPECT TO ONE POINT ONE
BILLION DOLLARS OF PROJECT
FINANCING UNDER OUR
INFRASTRUCTURE STATE REVOLVING
FUND. ARE CLEAN CENTER IS UNDER
OUR SRF PROGRAM.
LAST YEAR. OF THAT ONE POINT
ONE BILLION FIVE HUNDRED. AND
FORTY. EIGHT MILLION WAS UNDER
THE CLEAN CENTER.
SO THERE WAS DEMAND THIS YEAR
AS.
.
YESTERDAY.
I BANK HAS RECEIVED A HUNDRED
AND THIRTY SIX ENQUIRIES AS OF
MARCH TWENTY FIRST.
FOR. OVER ONE POINT TWO BILLION
DOLLARS OF FINANCING FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE. AND OF THAT FOUR
HUNDRED AND NINETY FOUR MILLION
ALREADY WOULD BE UNDER THE CLEAN
CENTER.
SO THIS IS A SEEDLING THIS IS A
START. WE BELIEVE IT IS AN AN
IMPORTANT START AND.
.
WITHOUT IT WE WON'T YOU KNOW
JUST TAKE US THAT MUCH LONGER.
TO ADDRESS THE CLEAN ENERGY.
.
IMPERATIVES ON OUR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS IN PARTICULAR.
YEAH I'M DE HE DON'T WANT WITH
RULES THAT WE PLAY HERE IS
TRYING TO AND WE'VE HAD THAT
DISCUSSION WITH THE AIRPORT
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PRETTY
SOON ABOUT SCORING THE
DIFFERENT.
CATEGORIES AND DIFFERENT
PROJECTS THAT WE'VE WE'VE HAD
WE'VE ASKED THE AIRPORT TO GIVE
US YOUR METHODOLOGY ON HOW YOU
SCORE HOW HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT
THIS DISEASE.
DEREK I JUST TO GET HAVE VERSES
THE HEALTHY FORESTS YOUR CLEAN
ENERGY MUNICIPAL CLEAN ENERGY
PROGRAM. IN THE IN THE GLOBAL A
REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GASES
HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT IT'S GONNA
GO BECAUSE THEN WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO USE OUR BEST MINDS AND IN.
AND REFLECT THE VALUES THAT WE
HAVE IN THE CA CALIFORNIA ON
PUTTING THE MONEY THERE SO A THE
REASON I ASK.
NAM
ABOUT THE TWENTY MILLION IS I
WON I QUESTION WHETHER THAT'S
THE ENOUGH AS INITIAL SEED MONEY
BECAUSE MONEY THESE PROJECTS IN
HOSPITALS AND MUNICIPALITIES TO
COULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE. AND
THAT YOU COULD YOU COULD I GET
YOU CAN GET A FLOW OF MONEY TO
PAY FOR THAT BOND BUT YOUR
ACTUAL BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THAT COST START WITH THESE.
HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX ENQUIRIES
THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD WHAT IT WHAT
THAT WHAT THAT TURNS INTO
PROJECTS.
.
AND WHAT TYPE OF BANG FOR THE
BUCK THEY ACTUALLY WOULD GET IF
WE WOULD IF WE WERE ABLE TO
SO. I.
THE PROGRAM. THE CLEAN CENTER
PROGRAM ALREADY INCLUDES AND.
PRIORITIES FOR PROJECTS AS THEY
COME ALONG.
AND.
WHEN I MENTIONED LOW COST
FINANCING.
WE LOOK AT THE PROJECTS AND WE
LOOK AT THE COMMUNITY WHERE THE
PROJECT WILL BE BELT.
SO IF THERE IS A SOLAR PROJECT
FOR EXAMPLE IN A COMMUNITY WITH.
HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT OR LOW MEDIUM
HOUSEHOLD INCOME VIS A VIS THE
STATE'S AVERAGE. WE REDUCE
THE I'M INTEREST RATE WE PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL SUBSIDIES ON THE
INTEREST RATE.
TO.
.
MAKE THAT FINANCING MORE
AFFORDABLE AND SO THE PRIORITIES
ARE VERY MUCH FOCUSED TOWARDS A.
I DON'T WANT TO.
AND. WE TALK ABOUT DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES AYE I'D LIKE TO
THINK OF IT AS A THE COMMUNITIES
THAT NEED AT OUR ADDITIONAL.
ASSISTANCE
SO WE TRY TO PROVIDE THE
FINANCINGS AND THOSE COMMUNITIES
FIRST.
IN ADDITION.
WE HAVE OVER A TRILLION DOLLARS
OF INFRASTRUCTURE NEED IN THE
STATE AND.
I'M ROUNDING I'M SURE DIDN'T
DEAL FORGIVE ME.
BUT THOUGHT THAT THE US
ADMINISTRATION IT.
ALSO A INTENDS TO PULL TOGETHER
TO CONVENE A GROUP OF LEADING
EXPERTS TO SERVE AS ADVISERS TO
THE PROGRAM. AND THOSE ADVISERS
WILL ALSO HELP US TO CATEGORIZE
THE PROJECTS AND TO PRIORITIZE
THE PROJECTS ON A MUCH LARGER
SCALE. FOR THE STATE.
TO MEET ALL OF THE
INFRASTRUCTURE NEED I DON'T
THINK I MENTIONED WATER ALSO. UP
BUT THE CLEAN CENTER ALSO
FOCUSES ON WATER PROJECTS AND
MANY OF THE WATER PROJECTS THAT
WE FINANCE HAVE A VERY
SIGNIFICANT. ENERGY EFFICIENCY
COMPONENT TO THEM BECAUSE
THEY'RE UPGRADING THEIR SYSTEMS.
SO.
YOUR POINTS ARE WELL ABOUT YOUR
QUESTION SIR.
IN MY IN IN LINE WITH HOW I BANK
THINKS ABOUT OF THESE FINANCINGS
HOW BEST TO LEVERAGE WHAT LITTLE
FUNDS WE HAVE.
.
AND RECOGNIZE THAT WE'RE GONNA
HAVE TO BUILD ON IT BUT I THINK
OUR INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM
SERVES AS A MODEL THAT WE HAVE
BUILT ON.
LEVERAGING OUR OUR SMALL EQUITY
AND LEVERAGING THOSE OF FUNDS TO
AND OF POOL OF OVER THREE
HUNDRED. MILLION DOLLARS OF A
PROJECT FINANCING SAID THIS
WOULD BE THE START FOR THE CLEAN
CENTER OKAY LET'S TURN TO THE.
BALLET OF YOUR OVERVIEW OF OF
THE BUDGET REQUESTS COMPARED TO.
LAST YEAR I HAVE SOME OTHER
QUESTIONS BUT I'M.
IF YOU HAVE YOUR P. SIGNATURE
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR OF AND
BEFORE I PROVIDE JUST A BRIEF
SUMMARY OF OUR GENERAL COMMENTS.
THOUGHT MAYBE IT MIGHT BE
HELPFUL TO JUST WALK THROUGH
SOME HIGH LEVEL NUMBERS IN THE
PLAN AND HOW IT COMPARES TO LAST
YEAR'S PLAN SO OVERALL THE
SPENDING PACKAGE IF YOU LOOK AT.
CONTINUOUS APPROPRIATIONS.
COMMITMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE
IN PRIOR YEARS.
FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF SPENDING
AND THIS KIND OF SO CALLED
DISCRETIONARY POT THAT THE
OVERALL. AMOUNT IS ROUGHLY TWO
POINT EIGHTBILLION DOLLARS SO
IF YOU LOOK AT PAGE FIFTEEN ON
YOUR AGENDA IN PARTICULAR I
THINK SORT OF FREELY HAS.
WHAT I'M GONNA TRY AND JUST
WALK THROUGH AT A HIGH LEVEL?
AND YOU CAN SEE SO THE PROPOSED
SPENDING PLAN FOR EIGHTEEN
NINETEEN AND HOW IT COMPARES TO
LAST YEAR'S SPENDING PLAN.
.
AS FAR AS YOU KNOW WHAT. A
PROGRAMS RECEIVE FUNDING AS PART
OF THE DISCRETIONARY AMOUNT OF
MONEY.
AND MANY OF THE SAME PROGRAMS
THAT RECEIVE FUNDING LAST YEAR
WOULD RECEIVE FUNDING UNDER THIS
PLAN SO IN A LOT OF WAYS IT'S
VERY SIMILAR.
SOME OF THIS SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCES ARE THAT FREIGHT AND
HEAVY DUTY INCENTIVES LAST YEAR
RECEIVED THREE HUNDRED TWENTY
MILLION THIS YEAR THE PROPOSAL
IS ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY
MILLION.
AYE YOU HEARD ABOUT.
FROM OUR OTHER PANELISTS A
COUPLE OF THE CANOE WERE
MODIFIED PROGRAMS ALREADY.
THERE'S SOME MONEY THAT WOULD
GO TO BACK FILL SOME OTHER
SPECIAL FUNDS THAT WOULD BE USED
FOR FOR OTHER TYPES OF THINGS
LIKE THE CARL MOYER FUN SHIFT
WHICH I BELIEVE IF YOU'VE HEARD
ALREADY. BECAUSE THEY ARE FTTP.
RESTRUCTURING WHICH YOU THINK
HARD AS WELL.
.
SOME OF THE PROGRAMS THAT DIDN'T
RECEIVE FUNDING THERE'S A COUPLE
OF NATURAL RESOURCES RELATED
PROGRAMS.
CLIMATE A. CLIMATE ADAPTATION
URBAN FORESTRY WHICH RECEIVE
FUNDING LAST YEAR WHICH I
BELIEVE ARE PART OF THE FUNDING
PACKAGE FOR PROP SIXTY EIGHT IF
IT PASSES AND SO THAT'S. THAT'S
THE ADMINISTRATION'S PLAN LOW
INCOME WEATHERIZATION RECEIVED
EIGHTEEN MILLION LAST YEAR IS
NOT PART OF THE FUNDING PACKAGE
THIS YEAR.
BUT OTHER NOTABLE THING.
THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL MULTI
YEAR FUNDING SO NOT JUST THE
BUDGET YEAR BUT IN THE OUT
YEARS.
THE BIGGEST PIECE OF WHICH IS
THE.
FUNDING FOR VEHICLE REBATES TWO
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
ON.
ANNUAL BASIS OVER THE NEXT
EIGHT YEARS AS PART OF THE
ADMINISTRATION'S ZERO EMISSION
VEHICLE PUSH.
.
ALSO SOME OTHER FUNDING WHICH
ADDS UP TO ABOUT TWO HUNDRED AND
THIRTY MILLION AND SORT OF
ADDITIONAL MORE SORT OF I'M
GOING AMOUNTS OF FUNDING.
AND SO I THINK WE REALLY JUST
WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT TO YOU
JUST GIVEN THE EXISTING
CONTINUOUS APPROPRIATIONS SOME
OF THE OTHER EXISTING SPENDING
COMMITMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE
PLUS. IF THE SAID ADDITIONAL TWO
HUNDRED PLUS MILLION OR BUT TO
BE ADOPTED.
UNDER THE GOVERNOR'S REVENUE
ASSUMPTIONS OF THOSE CONTINUE
THAT'S ABOUT ONE POINT EIGHT
BILLION AND I'M GOING SPENDING
AND SO. NO FEAR OPERATE IN A
WORLD WHERE IT'S ABOUT TWO POINT
FOUR BILLION IN REVENUE COMING
AND IT'S ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF
THAT IS IT WOULD BE COMMITTED
TO.
THE CONTINUOUS FOR
APPROPRIATIONS AS WELL AS SOME
OF THE OTHER PROGRAMS ARE BEING
PROPOSED HERE SO SUPPORTIVE OF
MY AND I'M KIND OF YOUR ON GOING
PRIORITIES. AND WHETHER THESE
ARE CONSISTENT BECAUSE SEE ABOUT
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT MIGHT
BE AVAILABLE FOR SPROUT SOME OF
THE OTHER PROGRAMS HERE. AYE IN
FUTURE YEARS MIGHT BE A LITTLE
BIT LESS SO. ON THE ON THE MACRO
LEVEL.
WE HAVE THIS SIXTY PERCENT
THAT'S CONTINUOUSLY APPROPRIATE
EATEN AND THAT AND THE AIRPORT
AND FINANCE CAME UP WITH THESE
PERCENT PERCENTAGES.
THAT.
AND THAT'S WE'VE WE'VE ADOPTED
THAT WOULDN'T THAT.
MONEY BE.
MORE VALUABLE IF WE RATHER THEN
A.
USE A PERCENTAGE WE WENT WITH
WE ABANDONED THE PERCENTAGE XIN
AND USER NUMBER TWO POINT FOUR
TWO POINT FIVE WHATEVER THEY
WANTED TO ON A YEARLY
APPROPRIATIONS AND SET A FIXED
AMOUNT OF MONEY. THAT WE WOULD
GIVE TO HIGH SPEED RAIL
AFFORDABLE HOUSING BECAUSE IT
SEEMS TO ME. THAT THAT THAT IF
WE SAID WE'RE GOING TO COMMIT
SIX HUNDRED MILLION FOR THE NEXT
TWELVE YEARS FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING THEN THAT MONEY FROM A
FINANCIAL. POINT IF YOU COULD BE
LEVERAGED BETTER BECAUSE THEY
WOULD HAVE A FIXED AMOUNT OF
MONEY COMING IN WE'VE HAVEN'T
HAD OUR HIGH SPEED RAIL HEARING
BUT IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT. IF
THEY IF THEY KNEW THAT THEY WERE
GONNA GET SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY OR
SEVEN HUNDRED OR WHATEVER THE
NUMBER IS ONE OF A NUMBER IS
THAT WAS. OFF THE TOP OFF THE
TOP TEN THESE PROJECTS WOULD BE
THAT. AS A FINANCIAL MECHANISM
THAT MORE VALUABLE THAN I WAS
COULD BE TWENTY PERCENT OF THIS.
I MEAN I THINK OUR VIEW IS AN
APPROACH OF.
LOOKING AT.
STRAIGHT DOLLAR AMOUNTS RATHER
THAN PERCENTAGES MAKES QUITE A
BIT OF SENSE I'M I'M GONNA THINK
WE AGREE WITH A LOT OF WHAT YOU
SAID I MEAN. I CERTAINLY FROM A
PLANNING PERSPECTIVE.
TO EXTEND THEIR SORT OF A
CLEARER DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WILL
BE AVAILABLE RATHER THAN KIND
WAITING TO SEE WHAT THE REVENUES
GOING TO BE IT SEEMS LIKE
THAT'S.
THAT'S AN ADVANTAGE SO YEAH I
MEAN I WOULD THINK THAT'S
CERTAINLY SOMETHING LEGISLATURE.
MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER NO WONDER
THEY ONE OF THE.
ALIMENTS OF THIS EXPENDITURE
PLAN THAT IS HAS CONCERN FOR ME
AND WE WERE WE HAD CAL FIRE HERE
LAST YEAR IS THAT WE'RE. WE'RE
SPENDING ABOUT EIGHT HUNDRED
NINE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
FOR.
SUPPRESSION.
WE'VE FACTORS AND THAT I REQUEST
FOR TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
MORE FOR THE OFFICE EMERGENCY
SERVICES FOR FIRE TRUCKS YET WE
ONLY SEE A HUNDRED AND.
SIXTY MILLION FOR.
PREVENTION AT THE CAP AND TRADE.
SO I GOT ONE SIXTY EIGHT HUNDRED
AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT THE MESSAGES IS WE WANT TO
PREVENT THE FIRES FROM
OCCURRING.
USING OUR GREENHOUSE GASES WE
NEVER CREATE.
ANY GREENHOUSE SCRAP GAS
EMISSIONS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
THIS BY THE MONEY SUPPOSED
BEFORE OR WE'VE PUTTING MONEY
INTO IT.
TO REACT TO THE TO THE FIRE ONCE
IT OCCURS WITH THE GREENHOUSE
WHAT THE GREENHOUSE GAS FUN.
SEEMS LIKE A BIT ADDICTS A WIDE
DISPARITY. DISPARITY OF UP FUNDS
JUST OFF THE TOP BEFORE I GET
INTO THE NITTY GRITTY.
YEAH I MEAN I THINK CLEARLY.
THE OTHERS RECENTLY CAUGHT UP
MONEY AND BOTH BOTH OF THOSE
POTS.
I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY SURE WHAT
THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT IS EGGS
AND IN EACH ONE OF THOSE POTS
BUT I'M.
YEAH AND AND YOU KNOW THE ANNUAL
SORT OF FIRE.
.
DEALING WITH SORT OF AN OIL FIRE
BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE FLUCTUATES
FROM YEAR TO YEAR BUT CERTAINLY
A FOCUS ON PREVENTION SEEMS TO
MAKE QUITE A BIT OF SENSE.
ASTRONOMY.
AUM. I THINK YOU FOR THE.
FOR THE QUESTIONS SO.
.
SINCE WE'RE TALKING CON OVERVIEW
IT'S EASY TO KIND A.
PICK A COUPLE INDIVIDUAL
PROGRAMS.
IN ISOLATION. AND ASK WILL
ASSIST ENOUGH MONEY AND SINCE
ENOUGH MONEY.
WITHOUT KINDA LOOKING AT THE
OVERALL CONTEXT
AND I'M SURE THERE'S ALSO GONNA
BE QUESTIONS LATER ON ABOUT. A
WELL THERE'S LESS MONEY THIS
YEAR THAN LAST YEAR IS THAT A
CUT.
SO I'M SURE THAT ONCE COMING SO
MAYBE I SHOULD.
IN THE SPIRIT OF PREVENTION.
P. UP PROACTIVE ON THIS ONE.
SU JUST FOR CONTEXT PURPOSES
LAST YEAR'S A PACKAGE WAS ONE
POINT FIVE BILLION DOLLARS. IN
IN.
A CERTAIN RESPECT IT WAS
SOMEWHAT OF A HIGH WATER MARK.
MOST LIKELY FOR CAP AND TRADE
BECAUSE IT AS PART OF THE.
PACKAGE INCLUDE ABOUT EIGHT
HUNDRED MILLION OR SO OF A ONE
TIME FUND BALANCE. SOON WAS
NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT THAT WAS
GOING TO BE ARE EXPECTED TO BE
IN THE.
BASELINE ONGOING FOR CAP AND
TRADE. SO THIS YEAR'S.
PACKAGE INCREASE IN TOTAL IS
ABOUT TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS LESS.
AND SO WHEN YOU SEE.
YEAR OVER YEAR.
DECREASES IN A LARGE PART
THAT'S A RESULT OF JUST THE YEAR
OVER YEAR DECREASE OVER ALL OF
THE OF THE AMOUNT AVAILABLE FOR
THE PACKAGE.
IN TERMS OF.
HEALTHY FORESTS.
A MOMENT WE ABSOLUTELY AGREE
THAT.
FIRE PREVENTION.
IS ONE OF THE.
ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF TUMOR
TALLY.
IN THE SEVERE FIRE CONDITIONS
OUT THERE IS A.
REALLY IMPORTANT.
AREA OF INVESTMENT WHICH IS WHY.
THE.
ADMINISTRATION'S PACKAGE
PROPOSES ROUGHLY THE SAME
PROPORTION OF FUNDING FOR
HEALTHY FORESTS IN THIS PACKAGE
AS IT DID LAST YEAR I WANNA SAY
IT'S IN THE FOURTEEN PERCENT
RANGE.
AND IN THE.
ó YES.
AT THE INITIATIVE.
BUT IS REALLY DESIGNED TO.
.
IMPROVE INITIAL A KIND OF OF THE
INITIAL RESPONSE.
TO THAT THE MORE QUICKLY.
YOU CAN RESPOND.
V..
LESS EMISSIONS THAT WOULD A
ULTIMATELY RESULT IN SO WE ARE.
TRYING TO TAKE KIND OF THAT
HOLISTIC APPROACH TO.
DEAL DEAL WITH
THE.
FIRE CONDITIONS THAT ARE OUT
THERE AND TRIMMER TELLY WHILE
ALSO.
NOT LOSING SO THE FACT IT
FORESTS ARE ONE OF THE BEST WAYS
TO SEQUESTER CARBON. RIGHT I I'M
I GUESS THE QUESTION COMES FOR
US IS THAT IF WE DIDN'T SPEND
THE TWENTY FIVE MILLION ON THE
HUNDRED AND TEN TRUCKS AND WE
PUT IN FIFTY MILLION ON.
PREVENTION WOULD WE BE ABLE TO
CAN AND LOG AGGRESSIVE.
PREVENTION AND.
TREE REMOVAL AND AND.
WE WOULD BE ABLE TO.
SAVE MORE CARBON BECAUSE THE
FIRES WOULD NEVER GROW TO BE THE
SUPER FIRES THEY WOULD BE THERE
WOULD BE MANAGEABLE I MEAN WE'RE
WE'RE AT. WE'RE THE CLOCK.
STICKING WITH THE GREENHOUSE GAS
THE GREENHOUSE GAS CLOCK KEEPS
TICKING WERE TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT DO WE DO AN AGGRESSIVE
ACTION ON THE FRONT END.
WHICH MAY BE UNORTHODOX.
RATHER THAN. BEEFING UP THE.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE SYSTEM WHICH
NOT I'M NOT QUIBBLING THAT IT
DOESN'T NEED ME UP DONE I'M JUST
EATING WITH THIS FUN THE MONEY
YEAH AND I GUESS WHAT I IN I
THINK THE RESPONSE IS IF YOU
LOOK OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS
THEN.
UNDER CAP AND TRADE A TOTAL OF
THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY MILLION
DOLLARS IS DEDICATED TO THE TYPE
OF PREVENTION THAT YOU'RE.
TALKING ABOUT.
IN CONTRAST TO TWENTY FIVE
MILLION FOUR OF THE TRUCK SO I
THINK WE'RE JUST SAYING IT'S A
BALANCED APPROACH. IT'S ACTUALLY
SOMEWHAT WEIGHTED TOWARD THE
PREVENTION AND YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT.
LET'S GO TO THE ESTIMATES THAT
WE HAVE BECAUSE WE'RE NOW IN
THE.
THE TWENTY SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN
WE'RE GONNA HAVE OUR FOURTH.
AUCTION A MESS THERE I BELIEVE
WE HAD FROM THE FIRST TWO
OPTIONS ONE POINT FIVE BILLION
DOLLARS AND THE ESTIMATE ALL THE
ALL THE RECEIPTS ARE NAY AND. IS
THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET.
.
S. MASK SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION FROM THE THIRD OPTION SO
IN ORDER TO REACH THE TWO POINT
SIX BILLION THAT THE. NEW
ADMINISTRATION IS ESTIMATED
THERE'S GOOD IT'S GONNA BE FOUR
HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE MILLION.
FROM THIS CHAIRS POINT OF VIEW
GIVEN THAT ACTIONS THAT WE'VE
TAKEN IN THE LAST HALF YEAR THAT
SEEMS PARTICULARLY LOW. AS A AS
A. AGAIN IT'S AN AUCTION SO
WHERE WERE.
WERE.
.
LARA.
IT NOT SURE OF WHAT'S GOING TO
COME IN.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE MONEY.
THE MONEY WILL ROLL OVER TO THE
TWENTY EIGHTEEN TWENTY NINETEEN
EXPENDITURE RIGHT BECAUSE BUT. I
GUESS THE QUESTION IS IF THERE
IS ANY MONEY IF THERE IS ANY
MORE MONEY I'M.
MY CONCERN IS THAT WE'RE ALWAYS.
WORLD AS WE DID TO YOU LAST
FISCAL YEAR WE HAD EIGHT HUNDRED
THOUSAND ARE HERE MILLION SIT IN
THE POT BECAUSE WE COULDN'T COME
UP WITH EXPENDITURE PLAN THAT
THAT WAS. POISED TO SPEND THE
MONEY STRATEGICALLY WE THOUGHT
IT WAS GOOD TO GO AND ONCE AGAIN
WE'RE NOT WE'RE GETTING MONEY
AND THEN THE AUCTION BUT WE'RE
WAITING TO SPEND IT. SOMETIME
NEXT YEAR UNISYS WILL WILL BE
HAVING THE SAME HEARINGS ON HOW
WE WANT US. AS.
SPEND THE MONEY SO.
GIVEN THE NEW INFORMATION YOU
HAVE I CAN YOU LET ME KNOW WHY
YOU THINK FOUR HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY FIVE MILLION IS SAKE. OF
STILL A REASONABLE TARGET FOR
THE FOURTH OPTION THAT'S COMING
UP IN THIS FISCAL YEAR.
SO REMEMBER THAT JANUARY BUDGET
IS BY DEFINITION A POINT IN
TIME.
THE BASIS OF OUR ESTIMATE TOOK
COULDN'T TO COUNT
THE.
.
STABILITY THAT.
THE TWO THIRDS VOTE OF CAP AND
TRADE HAS PROVIDED.
YET WE RECOGNIZE THE VOLATILITY.
A MORE SENSITIVE.
TO THE VOLATILITY.
.
SO WE.
DID A PROJECTION THAT.
.
ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL WAS ABOUT
SIX HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS A.
PER AUCTION. AND YOU'RE RIGHT
NOW THAT WE HAVE THE THIRD
AUCTION ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL
THAT WAS A MEAN AN ADDITIONAL
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS YOU HAVE
TO TAKE OUT THE SIXTY PERCENT
THAT'S CONTINUOUS SO. ABOUT
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS MORE THAN
WHAT. A WE WERE PROJECTING IN.
JANUARY AND THEN OF COURSE WILL
BE A FOURTH AUCTION THE PURPOSE
OF.
THIS SPRING PROCESS OF AS WELL
AS ME REVISION. IS TO.
YOU KNOW WE DO OUR BEST
ESTIMATES POINT IN TIME IN
JANUARY IN AS NEW INFORMATION.
COOK BECOMES AVAILABLE.
WE THEN TAKE THAT INFORMATION
AVAILABLE.
INTO ACCOUNT BECAUSE ONE OF THE
THINGS THIS CHAIRS CONCERNED
ABOUT IS AS WE LOOK ON PAGE
FIFTEEN IS THE ZEROING OUT OF
SOME OF THE WEATHER STATION
PROGRAM THE ADAPTATION AND AND
LUMPING THEM ALL AND PROP SIXTY
EIGHT. BECAUSE AGAIN WE DON'T
HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL WE FEEL GOOD
ABOUT PROP SIXTY EIGHT TO PROP
SIXTY EXCLUDE PASS BUT IF PROP
SUCCEED DIDN'T PASS WE WOULD
HAVE EIGHT DAYS TO SORT OF COME
UP WITH PLAN B..
AND I'M I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT
AYE AYE AYE TO.
WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS
WE KEPT OUR AT AT THAT SPEED.
FIVE WE WENT THROUGH THAT YET
LAST WEEK BUT IF WE HAVE FIFTY
OR SEVENTY FIVE OR A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS MORE IN
DISCRETIONARY FUND. THAT'S
THAT'S THE AMOUNT THAT COULD
COVER ZERO OUT THE NUMBERS THAT
ARE HERE SO THAT IT BECOMES PUT
IT'S STILL PART OF OUR CAP AND
TRADE EXPENDITURE PLAN MEAN THAT
YOU'VE CHOSEN TO. ZERO OUT STEP
VERSES WE'RE GOING TO DO A
LITTLE BIT THIS A LITTLE BIT OF
THAT AND I JUST HIGHLIGHT THAT
BECAUSE THAT'S. THAT'S A CONCERN
FOR ME THAT WE'RE NOT HAVING.
WE HAVE.
AN AMBITIOUS ADAPTATION PROGRAM
IN S. B..
FIVE AND THERE PROP SIXTY EIGHT
BUT ZERO IN IN HERE AND I DON'T
HAVE TO TELL THIS AUDIENCE THAT
THIS THIS MEMBER IS PARTICULARLY
CONCERNED ABOUT ADAPTATION.
WE'VE SAID IT BEFORE I DON'T
LIKE THE IDEA OF SCATTERING THE
ADAPTATION MONEY TO.
TWELVE OR FIFTEEN DIFFERENT
AGENCIES AND I'D LIKE TO SEE
THAT ADAPTATION UNDER ONE TENT
CERTAINLY.
PARSED OUT TO DIFFERENT AGENCIES
ARE DOING THE WORK BUT WE.
ONE OF THE GREATEST ASSETS THAT
WE HAVE IN CALIFORNIA ITS THE
EXPORT OF THE IDEAS THAT WE
HAVE.
AND IF WE'RE GOING TO USE MONEY
FOR SCIENCE RESEARCH IF WE DID
USE MONEY FOR ADAPTATION WE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE IT UNDER
ONE CENTRALIZED.
OFFICE OF RESEARCH WHERE WE WANT
TO PUT IT SO THAT OTHER
JURISDICTIONS OTHER STATES OTHER
COUNTRIES CAN USE THAT.
INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE A NICE
SO.
ON THE YOUR SECOND BULLET THE
SEQUESTRATION RESILIENCY.
.
IT JUST CONCERNS ME THAT THAT'S
A.
GOAL BUT. IT'S NOT IN THE CAP
AND TRADE MONEY.
IT'S SU SEQUESTRATION RESILIENCY
I THINK FALLS REALLY NEATLY INTO
THE HEALTHY FORCE PROGRAM WHICH
WOULD YOU HAVE.
HUNDRED SIXTY MILLION.
YOUR RIGHT THERE ARE SEVERAL
PROGRAMS THAT WERE FUNDED
THROUGH A S. B. FIVE THAT THE
BUDGET DOES ASSUME A.
PASSAGE
AND THAT IN LIGHT OF THE FACT I
AS I MENTIONED BEFORE. THE
LARGER CONTEXT YOU HAVE TO TAKE
INTO ACCOUNT IS THE FACT THAT
THERE WERE.
BASED ON PROJECTIONS THAT WE HAD
IN JANUARY THERE'S TWO HUNDRED
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS LESS.
FOR THESE PROGRAMS THIS YEAR
THAN THERE IS LAST YEAR. AND IN
LIGHT OF THAT. RECOGNIZING THAT
SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS WERE
FUNDED.
FROM S. B. FIVE OF WHAT WE
THINK THAT THAT ACCOUNTS.
TO KEEP THE PROGRAMS GOING IN.
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN BUT YOUR
POINT IS WELL TAKEN THAT IT'S
IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR
OF WHAT THE OUTCOMES OF THE
THIRD AND FOURTH AUCTION ARE. IN
AND.
ES THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF ME
REVISION AND CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE IS TO.
I JUST AS ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION COMES IN.
NOW WHAT IT STRUCK ME AS ODD.
THAT LAST YEAR'S EXPENDITURE
PLAN REMOVED EIGHTY MILLION
DOLLARS FROM.
THE SR ACCOUNT AND WE'RE BACK
FILLING IT.
THIS YEAR I WOULDN'T I'M GOING
FROM NOD.
GREENHOUSE GAS FUNDS AND NOW
WE'RE ASKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL
TWENTY FIVE MILLION FOR.
.
THE LOCAL FIRE RESPONSE COULD TO
TAKE CARE OF THIS NEED THAT'S
THERE.
IF IF WE KNEW THAT WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE A GREATER NEED ON LOCAL
FIRE RESPONSE WHY DID THEY DO
WHAT WE INCLUDE THE REMOVAL OF
THE EIGHTY MILLION. ARE THEY
TAKING YOU HAVE.
.
HAVING THE LOCALS PAY LAST YEAR
THAT WAS IF IT IF THE NEED WAS
SO GREAT.
WELL THE S. SORRY.
PROGRAM THE UP PROGRAMS A CAL
FIRE SUPPORT BUT NECESSARY FEE.
AND I BELIEVE OTHER TRIPS AND
FROM CAL FIRE. IN THE AUDIENCE
IT COULD.
ASSIST WITH THIS BUT. THOSE ARE
OUR STATE.
PROGRAMS THAT THE FUND A LOT OF
THE FIRE PREVENTION ACTIVITIES
THAT YOU HAVE.
ALLUDED TO EARLIER A LOT OF IT
IS A DEFENSIBLE SPACE A WORKING
WITH.
A FIRE SAFE COUNCILS AND SUCH
TO THOSE ARE CAL FIRE PROGRAMS
AT THE STATE LEVEL DID.
SUPPORT FIRE PREVENTION
ACTIVITIES AND STATE
RESPONSIBILITY AREAS THE OH ES.
PROGRAM IS A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT IN THE SENSE THAT IT'S
REALLY FOCUSED ON. SUPPORTING
LOCAL AGENCIES A LOCAL FIRE
AGENCIES WITH.
MUTUAL AID ACHIEVING WHAT AS
PART OF THE.
THE MUTUALLY DOT RESPONSE
SYSTEM.
BUT YOU KNOW IT'S LIKE IT'S THAT
SO WE'RE WINNER. NOT.
COLLECTING A FEE FROM THE PEOPLE
WHO WERE LIVING IN THE FOREST
AREA THAT WOULD TRY TO REDUCE
PREVENT A PREVENT OR REDUCE THE.
THE.
HEALTHINESS OF THE FIRE WHEN IT
OCCURS WHO ARE PUTTING MORE
MONEY IN FOR THE RESPONSE TO IT
AFTER THE FIRE CHRIS JUST YOU
KNOW I'M. I'M SITTING HERE IN.
LOOKING AT THE BUDGET SIN AND A
AT THE PLEASURE OF OF BEING THE
CHAIR OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY COMMITTEE WHEN WE DID.
AYE AB THREE NINE EIGHT AND A.
B. SIX ONE SEVEN AND THAT WAS.
THAT WAS IN MY PLAN.
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT AND I HAD
WE HAD THE PLANNED BECAME LAW
NOW ONE YEAR LATER WERE ST
THOUGH WE NEED TO PUT MORE MONEY
AND IT WAS IN THE NEED. FOR FOR.
WAS IN THE THE PEOPLE GO TO PAY
FOR SO IT JUST STRUCK ME AS ODD.
BUT LET'S MOVE ON THE U. SAYS A
SEGWAY TAPE AB SIX SEVENTEEN
WHICH I BELIEVE IS REQUESTING
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS AND I KNOW WE HAVE SOME
OF OUR.
.
LAST YEAR'S BUDGET HAD TWENTY
SEVEN. MILLION DOLLARS FROM
GREENHOUSE GAS FUNDS
TO FUND LOCAL AIR DISTRICTS TO
BEGIN.
TO FIGHT AND LOCAL AIR
DISTRICTS. HERE WE HAVE ZERO.
WE HAD LAST YEAR WE HAD ELEVEN
MILLION.
POINT ELEVEN POINT SEVEN MILLION
THE BUDGET FOR OVERSIGHT FROM
THE AIRPORT THIS YEAR THE
AIRPORT HAS FOURTEEN POINT SIX.
MILLION.
SO THE AIRPORT NEEDS MORE MONEY
TO DO THE OVERSIGHT BUT THERE'S
NO MONEY AND LITTLE BIT FOR THE
LOCAL AIR DISTRICTS TO.
.
TO TO IMPLEMENT.
CAN YOU.
EXPLAIN THAT YES SO FIRST A
COUPLE CLARIFICATIONS THE.
TWENTY SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS
WHOSE PROVIDED LAST IT WAS
ACTUALLY FROM THAT AIR POLLUTION
CONTROL FUND ACTUALLY WASN'T
FROM TEACHER WRATH. OF BUT
YOU'RE RIGHT IT WAS PART OF THE
OVERALL CAP AND TRADE PACKAGE.
AND A IT WAS SPECIFICALLY. AND I
POINT YOU BUT LET ME JUST CITE
THE ITEM MINTS
THREE NINE HUNDRED ONE NO ONE.
OH ONE ONE FIVE OF FROM A. B..
OF A ONE OR NINE IN WHAT YOU'LL
SEE IN THE AREAS IT HAD LANGUAGE
THAT WAS MADE AVAILABLE FOR TWO
YEARS THROUGH JUNE. TWENTY
NINETEEN SO THERE THE INTENT OF
THAT WAS THAT IT WAS ESSENTIALLY
A.
TO YOUR.
AMOUNT A LOT OF THE ACTIVITIES
THAT ARE IN AND.
REQUIREMENTS FROM SIX SEVENTEEN
ACTUALLY KICKING IN. ABOUT IT IS
A VERY AGGRESSIVE SCHEDULE BUT
THEY KICK CAN IN THE BUDGET YEAR
AND EIGHTEEN NINETEEN SO THE
INTENT OF THE TWENTY SEVEN
MILLION WAS. REALLY EIGHTEEN
MONTHS WORTH OF.
FUNDING TO.
HELP DISTRICTS GET.
START MEETING THIS AGGRESSIVE
CONTROL WHILE ALSO GIVING THEM
TIME TO.
INCREASED FEES WHICH THEY HAVE
THE AUTHORITY TO DO. THEIR
RESOURCES BOARD ELEVEN MILLION
WAS ACTUALLY MORE OF A. EIGHT TO
NINE MONTH. NUMBER MEANING WE
DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME
AVAILABILITY LANGUAGE.
IN THAT ELEVEN MILLION IT WAS
BASICALLY TO GET I'M FROM
SEPTEMBER THROUGH JUNE OF TWENTY
EIGHTEEN. ESSENTIALLY NINE
MONTHS.
AND THAT NOT MONEY GOES AWAY AND
THEN IN THE BUDGET YEAR EIGHTEEN
NINETEEN.
THAT'S ESSENTIALLY FULL YEAR SO
THE REASON WHY GO SLIGHTLY UP
FROM ELEVEN TO FOURTEEN IS IT
REFLECTS A TWELVE MONTH.
COSTS RATHER THAN A NINE MONTH
THAT WAS.
INCLUDE INCLUDED LAST YEAR.
SO THE.
OKAY BECAUSE I THINK THE LOCAL
BOARDS WHERE YOU. ALMOST
UNANIMOUS I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS
UNANIMOUS IT'S A VERY STRONG
LEE.
OBJECTING TO THE AB THREE NINE
EIGHT AND.
A. B. HAS SIX ONE SEVEN BECAUSE
OF THE THE.
THE.
FUZZINESS OR THE LACK OF CLARITY
ABOUT WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR THE
MONITORING EQUIPMENT
BECAUSE THE QUESTION YOU KNOW
HISTORICALLY WE'VE ALWAYS LOOKED
AT THE POLLUTER TO PAY FOR THE
COST OF POLLUTING. AND THAT WAS
VAGUE.
TO THE CHAIR AT THE TIME WHEN
ITS BAKED THE CHAIR AT THIS TIME
I AND WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR
THE MONITOR EQUIPMENT BECAUSE.
TESTIMONY WAS RECEIVED AT THAT
IT WAS GONNA COST THE AIRPORTS.
AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO
GO NGUYEN TO TO PUT IN THE
EQUIPMENT TO DETERMINE WHAT THE
WHAT HE MEASURES OF POLLUTION
WHERE AND I REMEMBER TALKING
ABOUT MR MURATSUCHI HAD A BUILT
JUST TO DEAL WITH.
REFINERIES THAT WAS GOING TO
HAVE THE ROUTE THE REFINERS PAY
FOR THE EQUIPMENT SO IT'S ONE
THING FOR THE AIRPORT TO READ
THE MONITOR AND AND KNOW WHEN IT
GOES OFF. AND IT'S NOT CLEAR
FROM THIS.
RICK THE REQUEST FOR.
GRANTS FOR TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION FOR GRANTS WHO SHOULD BE
GETTING THAT MONEY.
SO THE TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS.
.
GOOD FOR THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD
ISN'T NECESSARILY FOR.
IMPLEMENTATION COSTS BUT FOR
GRANTS FOR.
EMISSION REDUCTION PROJECTS.
ONCE THE AIR BOARD IDENTIFIES.
THE A TEN OR SO.
COMMUNITIES.
DE HERB MOST.
MOST IMPACTED ó I'M GONNA ASK
ME BE REPRESENTED FROM AIR
RESOURCES BOARD TO COME UP TO.
ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ON ON THE
DESIGN HERE BUT.
EIGHT IN A VERY HIGH LEVEL
OVERVIEW.
THESE WILL AIRPORTS CAN
IDENTIFY THE TEN OR SO
COMMUNITIES SOMETIME IN OCTOBER.
AND.
ONCE THOSE COMMUNITIES ARE
IDENTIFIED IN THE IDEA IS TO
IDENTIFY SOME KINDA EARLY
IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS BOTH
MOBILE AND STATIONARY.
THAT CAN HELP START REDUCING. A
EMISSIONS IN THOSE AYE
COMMUNITIES ON ON THE.
THEIR BOARD HAS ANYTHING TO ADD
TO THAT.
THANK YOU MISTER ARMEY.
.
GOOD MORNING AND.
A STEEP CLIFF CALIFORNIA AIR
RESOURCES BOARD SO THE TWO
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION IS FOR
INCENTIVE FUNDS.
THAT WE ARE NOT FOR
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROGRAM
BUT RATHER.
TO COVER EMISSION REDUCTION
PROGRAMS THAT WOULD BE.
IN COMMUNITIES IDENTIFIED
AS PART OF AB SIX SEVENTEEN THAT
ARE IN MOST NEED OF.
EMISSION REDUCTIONS ON THAT
PROGRAM THAT ALLOCATED TUNER
FIFTY MILLION LAST YEAR.
THAT IS ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH
A PROCESS NOW.
THAT WOULD BE AND. I LOOKED AT
BY THE AIR BOARD.
TO APPROVE THE HOW THAT HOW
THAT FUNDING WILL BE RELEASED
I'M AND THAT GOES TO OUR BOARD.
NEXT MONTH
OKAY SO AND SO.
THIS IS THERE'S NO FUNDS HERE
FOR THE MONITORING OF A YOU'VE
THIS THIS IS BASED ON DATA THAT
YOU HAVE FOR MISSIONS ARE GOING
NEED AND THIS FIRST CRUNCH OF.
MONEY IS GOING TO BE SPENT IN
THOSE CANNOT.
IT ADDS COMMITTEES THAT YOU'VE
IDENTIFIED OR WILL IDENTIFY.
THAT'S RIGHT.
OKAY.
I WILL NOTE AB SIX SEVENTEEN
DOES ACTUALLY ALLOW FOR THE.
AIR DISTRICTS TO MANDATE THAT
FENCE LINE MONITORING. B. E. M.
CONDUCTED BY AND LARGE
STATIONARY SOURCES.
GEN.
I'LL HAVE TO RE READ DEBT.
BECAUSE I AM AT LEAST THAT'S
THE.
WE'RE PRESUMING THAT THAT THAT
THEY DIDN'T HAVE THAT AUTHORITY
OR AT LEAST EIGHT THEIR
TESTIMONY WAS THAT THEY DIDN'T
BUT MAYBE IT'S CHANGED.
BUT LET'S MOVE ON TO THE CLEAN
VEHICLE REBATE PORTION.
WE'VE HAD A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE
OF THE ADMINISTRATION'S.
GOALS OF GOING FROM ONE POINT
FIVE MILLION.
FROM THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND TO
ONE POINT FIVE MILLION NOW TO
FIVE MILLION AND WE HAVE THE
CLEAN VEHICLE REBATE YOU'RE
ASKING FOR TWO HUNDRED MILLION
AND WE FIX IT RESTRICTIONS ON
WHO'S ELIGIBLE FOR THAT. THE
REBATE.
IT SEEMS TO ME IF WE'RE GOING TO
SPEND TWO HUNDRED MILLION IN ONE
YEAR IF THE GOAL IS TO.
IS TO REDUCE EMISSIONS WELL.
I'M CONCERNED THAT THE
RESTRICTIONS THAT WE PUT ON AND
INCOME. ARE NOT GOING TO BE.
COMPLETELY UTILIZING PERHAPS YOU
COULD EXPLAIN TO ME HOW YOU
THINK TWO HUNDRED MILLION IS
GOING TO BE USE.
FOR REBATES HER ONLY LOW INCOME
CONSUMERS THAT ARE. ELIGIBLE.
THIS IS TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR REBATE. OR
FORMER IN.
YES THAT'S RIGHT THE I'D SO THE
AND WE BELIEVE THAT THE TWO
HUNDRED MILLION IS SUFFICIENT
TO.
COVER THE PROGRAM FOR THE
FORESEEABLE FUTURE IN TERMS OF
THE REBATE REQUESTS THAT. WE'VE
RECEIVED SO FAR.
AND I'M HOW THAT PROGRAM IS
ROLLING OUT BASED ON THE DEMAND
THAT WE SEE FOR UPTAKE OF OF
VEHICLES. ALL DOES NOTE THAT NOT
EVERY VEHICLE THAT IS SOLD NOT
EVERY ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE THAT
IS SOLD RECEIVES A REBATE.
ALREADY AND WE HAVE SEEN A
SLIGHTLY LOWER UPTAKE OF REBATES
SINCE THE INCOME CAPS HAVE BEEN
AND PUT IN PLACE. BUT REALLY NO
SLOWDOWN IN THE DEMAND FOR THOSE
VEHICLES SO WE DON'T BELIEVE
THAT THAT'S ACTUALLY CAUSING ANY
SORT OF.
.
RESPONSE IN THE MARKET UPTAKE
OF THOSE VEHICLES.
I'M TRYING TO THE MATH MIND MY
MIND SO TWO HUNDRED MILLION FOR.
A TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR
REBATE FOR LOW INCOME FAMILIES
RIGHT. THE ECLIPSE THAT MEET THE
THAT THAT MEET THE IN.
SAN JOAQUIN AND THE AREAS THAT
THAT IS NOT ALL LOW INCOME RIGHT
IT'S LOW INCOME AND THEN IN
THAT.
CUT NOT A TEAM IN AREAS RIGHT
IF I GOT THE PROGRAM RIGHT.
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED IS THE
STANDARD REBATE FOR THOSE THAT
ARE BELOW THE INCOME CAPS SUCH
I BELIEVE IS A HUNDRED FIFTY
THOUSAND INDIVIDUAL AND THREE
HUNDRED THOUSAND.
FOR MARRIED.
THE SO THAT'S A TWENTY FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLAR REBATE FOR A
BATTERY ELECTRIC VEHICLE. WHO'D
BE FIVE THOUSAND FOR A FUEL CELL
ELECTRIC VEHICLE FIFTEEN HUNDRED
FOR PLUGIN HYBRID AND NINE
HUNDRED FROM ELECTRIC
MOTORCYCLE.
DE THEN IF IT'S LOW INCOME
THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL TWO
THOUSAND DOLLAR REBATE
POTENTIAL.
SO YOU BELIEVE THAT BASED ON
CURRENT PURCHASING PRACTICES AND
APPLICATIONS THAT THE ENTIRE TWO
HUNDRED MILLION WILL BE USED UP.
BY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ELIGIBLE.
THAT'S THE.
YEAH YES AND.
I WANTED TO ALSO PUT INTO
CONTEXT OF LAST YEAR SO LAST
YEAR'S PACKAGE.
INCLUDED.
MEAN HIGHER AND FORTY MILLION.
FOR THE US YOUR VP AND WERE
ESSENTIALLY INCREASING AT TWO
HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE THEN IN AN
ADDITIONAL TWENTY FIVE MILLION
FOR THE LOW INCOME PIECE. SO
THAT THE INCREASE REFLECTS.
THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE THE
EXISTING CRITERIA OF THE
EXISTING PROGRAM IN THE GROWTH
IT'S ANTICIPATED THE PROJECTED
GROWTH IT'S ANTICIPATED OVER THE
NEXT YEAR. SO.
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT OF THE
PROGRAMS IT'S ACTUALLY SENIOR
YEAR OVER YEAR INCREASE A IN
THIS PACKAGE.
OKAY.
I COULDN'T PASS UP THE
OPPORTUNITY ON PAGE NINETEEN.
WE TALK ABOUT SOME ALLOWANCES
ARE AUCTIONS AND SOME ALLOWANCES
ARE.
GIVEN AWAY FOR FREE.
WERE IN THAT THIRD COMPLIANCE
PERIOD I KNOW THE AIRPORT IS
CONSIDERING THE RECOMMENDATION
OF STAFF THE VAST STAFF TO
RECONSIDER WHETHER THEY SHOULD.
.
ALLOW FOR HUNDRED PERCENT
ALLOWANCES FOR. HIGH.
.
DIFFERENT.
AFFECTED INDUSTRIES FOR ONLY
ALLOW FOR FIFTY PERCENT OR
SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT.
I BEEN OUTSPOKEN ABOUT THE THEN
THE DESIRABILITY OF NOT GIVING
FREE ALLOWANCES ARE IT TO
EVERYONE IN THE THIRD COMPLIANCE
PERIOD BECAUSE OF THE MEETING
THE ULTIMATE GOAL THAT WE HAVE
HERE OF REDUCING EMISSIONS. IF
SOMEBODY DOESN'T YOU KNOW IF IF
SOMEBODY'S ALLOWANCES ARE GIVEN
TO THEM THEN THEY HAVE TO
ACTUALLY MAKE.
CHANGES TO THEIR TO TO THEIR
INDUSTRY YOU HAVE AN UPDATE ON
THAT.
I'M GONNA HAVE TO DEFER TO THE
AIR RESOURCES BOARD OF THIS ONE.
I DON'T HOUSE SPECIFICS ABOUT
THE REGULATORY.
PROCESS BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY
GET THAT TO YOU.
THE LA WOULD YOU LIKE DO YOU
HAVE A COMMENT YEAH. I KNOW THE
AIR BOARD HELD A KIND OF PRE
REGULATORY WORKSHOP ON SOME OF
THE CHANGES RELATED AB THREE
NINETY EIGHT EARLIER THIS MONTH.
I BELIEVE THAT ISSUE WAS
DISCUSSED.
I'M I DON'T. SAY IT'S NOT
ENTIRELY CLEAR TO ME I THINK
BASED ON THAT CONVERSATION THE
DISCUSSION THERE ABOUT YOU KNOW
WHAT THE EXACT PASSED IS GOING
TO BE FORWARD I THINK THERE ARE
STILL SORT OF SOLICITING INPUT
FROM. VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS ON ON
HOW TO ADDRESS THE INDUSTRY
ASSISTANCE FACTORS GOING
FORWARD.
OKAY.
BECAUSE I FORGOT CAST YOUR BOARD
ARM ON BACK ON THE QUESTION OF
THE LOCAL AIRPORTS HAVING THIS
TWO YEAR BUDGET. OF.
.
FOURTEEN MILLION.
THE LOCALS GOT TWENTY SEVEN
MILLION LAST YEAR AVAILABLE
THROUGH TWENTY NINETEEN.
EVEN THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE
IS AN ADEQUATE NUMBER.
I'M ACTUALLY NOT SURE I THINK.
THAT AS I UNDERSTOOD IT THE
TOWN.
THE AIR DISTRICTS HAVE.
SUGGESTED THAT THERE'S THAT
THEIR BUDGET IS DIFFICULT FOR
EXPENDITURE ON A. B. SIX
SEVENTEEN IS HIGHER THAN THE.
TWENTY SEVEN MILLION.
THOSE ARE NUMBERS THAT THAT
I'VE HEARD AND SEEN IN THEIR
LETTERS.
OKAY.
I'M MEMBERS QUESTIONS OF.
SENATE MCGUIRE THANK YOU SO MUCH
MISTER CHAIR.
.
BUT P. SHEET THAT THE
CONVERSATION AND YOUR FOCUS ON
THIS.
.
NUMBER ONE I THINK I OVERALL
APPROACH WHICH I APPRECIATE IS
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION TAKES A.
MORE CONSERVATIVE.
LOOK UP AT THE BUDGET.
AND WHAT THE POTENTIAL REVENUE
ESTIMATES MAY MEAN
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT A CARRYOVER
OF ABOUT THREE TO FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION IN THE FROM THIS YEAR.
THAT.
TO WITH FEAR LOOKING A TO POINT
FOUR. MILLION. AGAIN WHICH I
THINK S THE RIGHT STRATEGY
BEING CONSERVATIVE UNDER PROMISE
OVER DELIVER RIGHT.
.
OBVIOUSLY NOT PUT WORDS IN YOUR
MOUTH.
BUT.
I.
WE WOULD SPEND ALMOST THE ENTIRE
FUND BALANCE IF WE TAKE A LOOK
AT THAT. BUT AGAIN IT'S IS A
CONSERVE APPROACH.
WILL MOST LIKELY HAVE SOMEWHERE
WHERE WERE NEAR NOW.
WITH A SIMILAR APPROACH IN
REGARD TO CONSERVATIVE BUDGETING
THAT BE.
ACCURATE.
I'M SORRY REPEAT THE QUESTION WE
THAT WE ALL HAVE A SIMILAR FUND
BALANCE.
THE YEAR BEFORE HEARING OVER
HERE SO YOU'RE SO RIGHT NOW
WE'RE AT ABOUT THREE TO FOUR
HUNDRED MILLION FUND BALANCE
AFTER EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE
SO THAT'S RIGHT VERY.
EAR INTO SPAIN ABOUT TWO POINT
FOUR BILLION TO BE A TO COME IN
FOR NEXT FISCAL YEAR IN THAT
WOULD TAKE IS TO ABOUT TWO POINT
A. PARENT TO SPAIN SPEND ABOUT
TWO POINT SEVEN.
SOME ARE IN THERE AND CHANGE BUT
AGAIN.
MOST LIKELY WILL HAVE SOME
CARRYOVER SO MUCH OF THIS YEAR
BECAUSE IT IS A CONSERVATIVE
APPROACH YOU WANTING TO BE
CAUTIOUS THAT'S RIGHT AND I
ENDED UP AT ONE BECAUSE IT WOULD
THINK THAT'S RIGHT APPROACH
INTO.
A HISTORY SUGGESTS ARE
SIGNIFICANT VOLATILITY.
IN OPTIONS AS WELL SO.
ABSOLUTELY.
LIKE I SAID.
IS.
THAT THE OF MARCH AUCTION WHICH
OF COURSE HAPPEN AFTER THE
JANUARY RELEASE.
BASED ON THAT. THERE'S AN
ADDITIONAL FIFTY MILLION ABOVE
AND BEYOND WHAT WE WOULD HAVE
ASSUMED.
OKAY FOR FOR DISCRETIONARY
EXPENDITURES.
WHO A COUPLE OTHER ITEMS AYE I
THINK ON THE ISSUE OF?
?
AND IT'S.
I KNOW I THOUGHT I TALK A LOT
ABOUT IT NO I WON'T SPEND TOO
MUCH TIME ON THE ISSUE OF.
THAT FIRE FIGHTING RESOURCES AND
MUTUALLY.
A TWENTY FIVE MILLION THAT THE
GOVERNOR OF BUDGET LASHER THAT
WE'RE NOW JUST GETTING TO THIS
YEAR.
PLUS A TWENTY FIVE MINUTE YOU
HAVE A IN THIS YEAR'S PROPOSED
BUDGET.
BUT WELL STAYS AT THE AT THE
MUTUAL AID SYSTEM IS INCREDIBLY
STRANGE THROUGHOUT THE STATE NOW
ALSO SAID WITH THE GOLD STANDARD
OF MUTUAL AID. IN THIS COUNTRY.
ELEVEN THOUSAND ACCORDING TO CAL
FIRE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION ELEVEN
THOUSAND.
BOB MUTUALLY REQUEST WENT
UNANSWERED LAST YEAR RECORD
NUMBER.
I IN WE SEE. THE SIZE AND SCOPE
AWHILE THEN FIRES THE STATE
GETTING WORSE EVERY YEAR WE KEEP
SAYING SOME PRECEDENT THAT
RELATES IN NORMAL.
I ASSUME DEEP CONCERN.
AND HAVE SHARED BY THE WITH
EUROPE WITH A REPRESENTS YOUR
OFFICE I'M GRATEFUL BY THE WAY
THAT DATA FOR THE WORK TO
DEPARTMENT FINANCES AND NORTH
BAY.
THAT THIS FIFTEEN MILLION SIMPLY
IS NOT ENOUGH WHEN IT COMES TO A
NEW REALITY.
AND I APPRECIATE THE APPROACH I
THAT CAL FIRE AS WELL AS LOCAL
AGENCIES HAVE TAKEN UP PREFIX.
THEY WANT TO BE A PRE POSITIONED
RESOURCES
CRITICALLY DURING RED FLAG
EVENTS
TO BE ABLE TO STOP. THOSE WHILE
IN FIRES BEFORE THEY REALLY TAKE
SIGNIFICANT HOLD THINKING TO THE
CHAIR'S POINT I THINK IT'S IT'S
A REALLY GOOD ONE HE TAKE A LOOK
AT. THE CARBON ADVANCE IF YOU
WILL THAT THESE WILDFIRES
REPRESENT IT'S.
WORSEN ON WHAT ALMOST EVERY
AUTOMOBILE SPEAKS OUT ON A NO
BASIS IN THE STATE.
SO I I SAY ALL THAT IS.
AS WE KNOW THE COUCH SHE'S GOT
AS WELL AS COVER PROFESSIONAL
FIREFIGHTERS LOOKING FOR HUNDRED
MILLION.
I TO BE ABLE TO THROUGH THE BEEF
UP OUR MUTUAL AID SYSTEM IN THIS
DAY.
AND MODERNIZE OUR DISPATCH
SYSTEM BECAUSE WE ALSO DO NOT
HAVE.
.
THE RESOURCES TO BE A DISPATCH.
THE APPARATUS IN THE PERSONNEL
THAT WE HAVE NOW.
AND THEN LOCAL TWENTY EIGHT
EIGHTY ONE COW FIRE IN A
FOCUSING ON. REPLACING.
THIRTY ONE THOSE ARE THIRTY ONE
OR THIRTY THREE ENGINES THAT
WERE CUT BACK IN NINETEEN
SEVENTY THREE.
THAT WE'D NEVER REPLACED.
AND THAT WOULD BE ABOUT EIGHTY
FOUR MILLION.
BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE A NEW
APPROACH.
AND WHEN IT COMES TO THESE.
EVENTS AND I DO THINK
WHILE-GRATEFUL BY THE WAY THAT
THE
ADMINISTRATION IS.
SUPPOSEDLY TWENTY FIVE NINE I
JUST DON'T THINK IT'S ENOUGH FOR
THE NEW REALITY THAT WERE IN AND
THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF THE EVENTS
THAT WERE FACING.
I DON'T KNOW. IF YOU HAVE ANY
COMMENTS OR YOU'LL ITS WAY INTO
WE HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION.
SO I I.
THE TOPIC HERE OF COURSE IS A
CAPITAL PLAN BUT I THINK YOU'VE
ALLUDED TO.
SOME BROADER ISSUE YOU FIND OUT
OF AB ON IN AND I THINK THAT'S
SUBTLY FARE.
I WOULD JUST ADD THAT YOU KNOW
IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET.
WE DID HAVE A GENERAL FUND
AUGMENTATION OF AND FOURTEEN
FIFTY MILLION RANGE FOR WHAT WE
WOULD CALL THE CAL FIRE NEW
NORMAL WHERE WE ADDED.
PROJECT ADDITIONAL OF RESOURCES
TO CAL FIRE FOR THE VERY REASONS
THAT YOU MENTIONED I WOULD ALSO
MENTION. THAT.
PART OF THE REASON WHY THE
ADMINISTRATION IS.
PURSUING.
INCREASING.
FUNDING FOR A NEW STATE OF THE
ART HELICOPTERS FOR CAL FIRE IS
THE SINGING.
REASON WITCHES LET'S IMPROVE
THE STATE'S OVERALL.
PRODUCTIVE THE IN THE.
THE CAPABILITIES.
OF.
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO
ADDRESS FEES ARE SEVERE
CONDITIONS SO IT'S REALLY A TWO
PRONGED APPROACH OF. PREVENTION.
THE HEALTHY FORESTS.
IMPROVING.
DE FUEL CONDITIONS OUT THERE.
AS WELL AS IMPROVING OUR INITIAL
ATAKA CAPABILITIES AS WELL.
ABSOLUTELY NONE AND.
FOCUSING ON THE ISSUE A
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND I
THINK THAT. WHILE THERE IS SOME
ADDITIONAL. FINDS IT YOU'RE
PROPOSING PARTICULAR WHEN IT
COMES TO FORCE HEALTH.
I THINK THAT IT NEEDS TO BE
FOCUSED ON. AS A JUROR SAYING
OBVIOUSLY FORCE HEALTH.
BY THE WAY WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO WITH ALL
THOSE AND DYING TREES AND. EVEN
WITH THE DOLLARS THAT ARE BEING
PROPOSED AND GENEROUS
I IS NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO MAKE A
SIGNIFICANT DENT IN THE NUMBER
OF DEAD AND DYING TREES THAT WE
HAVE.
BECAUSE OF THE SPEED IN WHICH
THIS EPIDEMIC IS HAPPENING
ARTICLE IN THIS YEAR.
I AYE SAY ALL THIS IS WE HAVE TO
CHANGE THE WAY WE'RE THINKING.
ABOUT BOTH IN THE WAY OF FIRE
FIGHTING BUT THEN ALSO WHEN IT
COMES TO THESE.
A HUGE BACK CARBON EMISSION
RELEASES THAT THESE EVENTS HAVE.
THAT ATTITUDE TO SEE SEE IN THE
HUNDRED MILLION REALLY QUICKLY
AND THAT'S ABOUT BEING PROPOSED.
AND THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT WAS
BROUGHT UP.
I THINK TO HEARINGS AGO.
DIE IT'S UNDER CAR APOLOGIZES
CARB HUNDRED MILLION THE CARB IN
THE CC WAS PROPOSING.
THE AT THE BUS THAT PROGRAM IN
THE SCHOOL THE THAT'S HERE IT'S
THE LOW INCOME LIGHT DUTY
VEHICLES AND SCHOOL BUSES.
AND A RESOURCES BUT MORE THE
DESCRIPTION SPENDING PORTION THE
HUNDRED MILLION AND WE HAD.
DISCUSSION WITH THE REPRESENT
EMPHASES HE WAS HERE SAID NOT
WANTING.
I'LL SPEAK FOR MYSELF NOT
WANTING TO BE ABLE TO RECREATE
THE WHEEL. THAT THAT THAT CARPET
ARMY ESTABLISHED IN REGARDS IS
SCHOOL BUS PROGRAM LOW EMISSION
VEHICLES UNTIL MISSION BUSES FOR
SCHOOL BUSES IN THE STATE AND
NOT CREATING A PARALLEL PROGRAM
JUST ONE THROUGH THAT RED FLAG.
OUT AGAIN.
A QUESTION I HAVE ON THE
INTERCITY RAIL IN TRANSIT.
AND.
YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT.
POTENTIAL HAIRCUT AND SOME OF
THESE FUNDS
I AND I TO QUESTION ME.
GOING FROM THIS CURRENT FISCAL
YEAR FROM TWO SIX
TO TO TWO HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT
MILLION. FOR THIS UPCOMING THAT
YOU RECOMMENDED.
SO IT'S THEIR SPIT IT ARE YOU
DOING THAT BECAUSE S. B. ONE.
WOULD BE ABLE TO A POTENTIALLY
BACK THE LAPLACE.
SUE I BELIEVE THAT IS THE.
TEN PERCENT CONTINUOUS
APPROPRIATION.
PROGRAM AND DID THAT'S MERELY A
REFLECTION OF DIFFERENT REVENUE
NUMBER SO WE IS SEEM TO POINT
SEVEN BILLION.
AND.
.
IN.
THE CURRENT YEAR SO.
THEN YOU DO SOME OFF THE TOP
STUFF AND THEN YOU GET WHAT THE
CURRENT WHAT TEN PERCENT OF THAT
IS. THEN TEN PERCENT OF A TWO
POINT FOR. THE IS GOING TO BE
SLIGHTLY LESS SO THAT'S JUST A
REFLECTION OF TEN PERCENT OF
WHATEVER THE REVENUE HAS GOT IT
CAN IF THE MONEY WERE.
APPROPRIATE WELL. HUNDRED I
THINK EARLY ON WAS IN HEALTH
ACCURATE WAS APPROPRIATE AND YET
WE MILLION MORE WE'RE GOING TO
THAT PROGRAM.
RIGHT NOW THAT'S GREAT IN IN
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I LIKE THAT.
IN IN THE. IN THE OTHER PIECES
OF THAT HAVE BEEN SUPPOSEDLY
BECAUSE THERE IS A REAL PROGRAMS
WEALTHY NASTY ONE THAT WOULD.
THAT SOME OF THESE PROJECTS
WOULD ALSO QUALIFY FORCE THAT
WAS. QUESTION THANK YOU SO MUCH
THEY CONSIDER.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
.
THAT A HIGH LEVEL IS ONE TO SAY.
GOOD TO BE IN THIS SITUATION
WHERE WE HAVE TO.
DEBATE AND ARGUE OVER STRATEGY
FOR OF SOLID CAP AND TRADE
EXPENDITURE PLAN WE WE.
WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE
LONG TERM WAS GONNA LOOK LIKE
LAST YEAR SO. I'M I'M VERY
INTERESTED IN CERTAINTY HERE AND
TRYING TO FIND.
STABILITY AND HOW WE SET UP
THESE PROGRAMS ON THE LONG TERM
AND REALLY BE ABLE TO FOLLOW
THROUGH ON THESE AND
S. MINSON NOT HAVE TOO MANY FITS
AND STARTS AND ESPECIALLY NOW.
IT SEEMS LIKE WE'VE GOT A LITTLE
RUNWAY HERE
WE CAN LOOK AT THE TWENTY
THIRTY.
BUT TAKE OUR TIME AND TAKEN
INVESTMENT PLAN SERIOUSLY AND.
NOT HAVE TO GO CYCLE BY CYCLE UP
AND DOWN OBVIOUSLY NEEDS ARE
GONNA MERGE BUT.
.
TWENTY SORT OF PUT THAT OUT
THERE AND AND DE IN TERMS OF HOW
YOU'RE CURRENTLY SORT OF
EVALUATING YOUR ANNUAL REPORT I
GUESS THIS IS.
MAYBE A QUESTION FOR YOU
FINANCER THE AIR BOARD.
.
YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW.
THERE SIX BILLION IT'S BEEN
APPROPRIATE SIX POINT ONE
BILLION SUMMIT BEEN APPROPRIATE
THERE'S.
THREE BILLION THAT'S BEEN
SELECTED AND AWARDED BY AGENCIES
TO THERE'S ANOTHER THREE POINT
ONE BILLION THAT IS BEEN.
NOT SELECTED THERE WERE AWARDED
BUT IS STILL BEEN APPROPRIATED.
AND SO DO WE HAVE IT IN IN
REPORT OF DOLLARS TRACK OF
WHAT'S.
WHICH ALREADY APPROPRIATED BUT
ON AYE I'M GONNA ASK.
MET PATIL FROM THE.
IN RECENT SUPPORT TO COME UP TO.
TO HELP ON THE ANNUAL REPORT
BUT I CAN GIVE A SOMEWHAT BRIEF
ANSWER WHICH IS THAT.
WE WE CALL THAT LAST YEAR'S
CAPITATE PACKAGE ONE POINT.
FIVE BILLION. WAS APPROVED AND
ULTIMATELY CHAPTER IT SOMETIME
IN SEPTEMBER. IN IN THE DATA
THAT IS IN THAT REPORT I BELIEVE
IS AS OF NOVEMBER DECEMBER. TWO
BY DEFINITION YOU BASICALLY HAVE
ONE POINT FIVE BILLION THAT WAS.
APPROVED IT BUT REALISTICALLY
ISN'T GOING TO BE IMMEDIATELY
GET OUT THE DOOR.
BY A IN JUST A COUPLE MONTHS SO
THAT THAT ACCOUNTS FOR A
PORTION.
I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT.
.
IT DID.
SOME OF THE CONTINUOUSLY
APPROPRIATED FUNDS.
THINK OF THE LAST A COUPLE
OPTIONS.
WHICH WERE RELATIVELY ROBUST.
THAT FALLS INTO THE SIX BILLION
DOLLAR CATEGORY SURFING
SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES FOR
TRANSIT PROGRAM THAT US SENATOR
INQUIRED ELUDED TO. THAT.
THE.
AUCTION PROCEEDS COME IN BUT IT
TAKES AWHILE TO VENN ACTUALLY.
TAKE THE TIME TO WORD THAT I
DON'T KNOW IF MISTER PATEL HAS
ANY THING TO AT THAT HER.
THANK YOU MISTER ONLY MET THE
BOTTLE AT THE CALIFORNIA AIR
RESOURCES BOARD SO DISTANT TO
LAYER AND AND AND GOOD MORNING
TO THE COMMITTEE AND BECAUSE
IT'S A LAYER AND. SUE THE THE
APPROPRIATIONS IN SEPTEMBER PLUS
THE CONTINUOUS APPROPRIATIONS
THAT OCCURRED AND AS A RESULT OF
THE AUCTION ENDS AT THE END OF
TWENTY SEVENTEEN. ROUGHLY ABOUT
TWO AND TWO POINT FOUR BILLION
IN TOTAL NEW FUNDING THAT'S
COMING TO THESE PROGRAMS JUST
AND WITHIN THE LAST SIX MONTHS
OR SO. AND THE REPORT INCLUDES
THE STATUS IN THE OUTCOMES OF
THE AGENCY'S PROGRAMS A THROUGH
NOVEMBER. AND SO IF YOU IF YOU
LOOK AT WHERE THOSE AGENCIES
WHERE THEY THEY WERE LARGELY
IMPLEMENTING APPROPRIATIONS THAT
HAD COME THROUGH IN THE SIXTEEN
SEVENTEEN FISCAL YEAR PRIOR
FISCAL YEARS AND. A AND SO THAT
THAT PIC INFLUX OF DOLLARS
THROUGH THE DIFFERENCE.
IF THAT'S THE CASE IF WE'VE IF
WE'VE APPROPRIATED SIX POINT
ONE.
BILLION BUT THREE BILLION IS
STILL IN THE PIPELINE WHAT WOULD
BE THE HARM OF THOSE
APPROPRIATING EVERY PENNY THAT%
WE HAVE. PUT THAT WE EXPECT ON
THAT AUCTIONS IN THIS YEAR'S
BUDGET THE EXTRA THREE OR FOUR
HUNDRED MILLION BASED ON WHAT
HAPPENS IN MAY. IF IT'S GOING TO
TAKE SO LONG FOR THE ACTUAL
SPENDING TWO O'CLOCK OCCUR NAM
AS WE TRUE UP THE NUMBERS AB IF
THE GOAL IS TO REDUCE THE
GREENHOUSE GASES HAVE IF ALL OF
THESE PROJECTS THAT YOU HAVE ARE
WORTHY. AND I BANK AND CLIMATE
THAT. A SCIENCE RESEARCH IF
THAT'S THE CASE BECAUSE WE HAVE
THE WE ALWAYS HAVE. BUDGET
TRAILER BILLS IF THERE'S A IF
THERE'S A CATASTROPHE THAT THE
CURSE THEM WE COULD FIX IT THEN
BUT AT LEAST WE MAKE THE
COMMITMENT TO GET. MONEY THROUGH
THE PIPELINE AS AS.
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
I UNDERSTOOD JUSTIN PUTTING KIND
OF.
THAT.
OF HIM OR OF A.
MECHANICAL.
ON THAT.
SO WHAT YOU'RE WITH THAT WOULD
ESSENTIALLY MEAN OKAY LET'S.
ASSUME HIGHER REVENUE ESTIMATE.
AND LEX BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IS
THE MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN AND
THEREFORE LET'S.
APPROPRIATE THE MONEY.
ELUDED MORE AGGRESSIVELY.
THE DOWNSIDE RISK TO THAT IS IS
THAT WHAT YOU'RE WHO MOST LIKELY
GETTING HERE IN A COUPLE
COMMENTS IS.
DEPARTMENTS. WHO ARE?
PROGRAMS TO GUY ASSUME AND
MONEY IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN SEE
THIS. AS A CUT WELL IF THE
REVENUES COME IN LOWER THEN E.
EVEN THOUGH THE APPROPRIATION IS
SAY TWO HUNDRED MILLION.
WE HAVE A CONTROL SECTION THAT
ALLOWS DEAL LAUGHED TOO
PROPORTIONALLY REDUCE IT BASED
ON WHAT THE ACTUAL REVENUES ARE.
YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY MAKING A
PROMISE THAT YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO
KEEP.
PERHAPS PERHAPS PERHAPS SO
CERTAINLY NOT NECESSARY SO.
THAT'S THE POLICY CALL I THINK
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO SUGGEST IS
IS THAT.
WHEN WE APPROPRIATE MONEY.
WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY MAKING IT
I IN MOST CASES WERE NOT MAKING
ANY COMMITMENTS FOR NEXT YEAR.
THIS IS BY AND LARGE A ONE TIME.
EXPENDITURE PROPOSAL.
BUT WHAT YOU SEE IN HERE.
WE THINK WE CAN DELIVER THAT
WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE.
THE MORE YOU START ROLLING THE
DICE A LITTLE BIT I THINK THE
MORE THE LESS CONFIDENCE GOOD
PROGRAMS WILL HAVE. THE ICANN
DELIVER ON THE PROMISE IN THAT'S
THE TRADEOFF THE THE CHALLENGE
THAT WE HAVE IS THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN KEEN TO
APPROPRIATE. OUR OR CALL OUT
EVERY PENNY THAT'S GOING TO BE
SPENT ON THE EXPENDITURE PLAN WE
HAVE SEVERAL MEMBERS THAT.
DAILY CONTACT THE COMMITTEE ON
IDEAS THAT THEY HAVE THAT THEY
WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAVE MONEY
SPENT ON ON CAP AND TRADE
BESIDES THE PUBLIC THAT'S GONNA
BE SPEAKING TESTS IN A MINUTE.
AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE LAST YEAR
WE SORT OF HELD EVERYTHING AT
BAY THIS YEAR IN MAY BEFORE WE
GET THE MAY REVISE OUR AT THAT
SIMULTANEOUSLY WE'RE GONNA BE
HAVING HEARING ON THOSE. ON
THOSE PROPOSALS GOOD IDEAS THAT
MEMBERS HAVE SO WHEN WE'RE
LOOKING AT A.
SOME MONEY AGAIN BECAUSE A LOT
OF THIS IS SEED MONEY THAT GETS
HINTED AT THE HOPEFULLY OTHER
THINGS GET SPENT ON THURS. I'M
JUST.
FLAGGING THAT FOR DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE THAT THAT WE'VE BEEN
VERY COOPERATIVE IN THE SEVEN
YEARS ON WINE THE EXPENDITURE
PLANS AND THEN.
DETAILS OF EXACTLY HOW YOU
WOULD LIKE TO SPEND IT BUT THIS
IS A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE
LEGISLATURE AND SOME OF THE
MEMBERS ARE BECOMING MORE. VOCAL
ON WHERE THEY BELIEVE KEEP IT
AND WHAT GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTIONS NOT DENOUNCE. THE
REGULAR EVERYBODY WHAT IT THINKS
THIS IS A CASH COW SO WE'LL HAVE
THOSE DISCUSSIONS WE GET THE MAY
REVISE CENTERED STERN I
APOLOGIZE BUT PLEASE GIVE ONE
FOR. IT WAS A USEFUL DIALOGUE
THERE.
.
ONE OTHER COMMENT AT THE HIGH
LEVEL I WANTED TO GET SOME
FEEDBACK.
THAT WAY YOU'VE SUMMARIZED YOUR
INVESTMENTS AND OUTCOMES UP TO
THIS POINT IN THE ANNUAL REPORT.
THERE'S A SORT OF RANKING.
IF YOU WILL LOOKS TODAY SORT OF
DOLLAR PER TON.
FOUR A. HE HAD DOLLAR PER TON
BASES AS WELL AS A SORT A NET
PROJECTED GHG REDUCTION. THAT.
SOMEWHAT USEFUL I WOULD SAY BUT
WHAT I REALLY WANT TO GET
FEEDBACK ON AS I LOOK INVESTING
IN.
AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE REBATE IS
VERY DIFFERENT THAN INVESTING IN
SOIL SEQUESTRATION OR IN LARGE
RAIL PROJECT OR A RESEARCH.
TAKE A DIFFERENT SKILLS A
DOLLARS THEIR DIFFERENT OUTCOMES
WE EXPECT AND SO WE SORT OF SET
A METRICS WELL IT'S ATTRACTIVE I
I'D I'D LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING
MORE REFINED IN THE FUTURE
INSERTED HOW YOU GUYS PRESENT
THIS INFORMATION AND IT MAY BE
THAT YOU NEED MORE DIRECTION
FROM. US TO DO THAT OR MAYBE
THAT YOU ARE GOD DISCRETION TO
DO SO BUT TRYING TO FIND. MORE
APPLES TO APPLES WAYS TO LOOK AT
HOW WE'RE SPENDING THESE DOLLARS
SO.
IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE VERY
INTERESTED IN SAY YOU KNOW
MARKET TRANSFORMATION IN THE
NEAR TERM YOU WANT MORE UPTAKE
IN IN SORT OF LOW CARBON
VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THERE'S A
WHOLE CHARGE OF FUNDS THAT ARE
LOOKING AT THAT RIGHT LIGHT DUTY
MEDIUM DUTY HEAVY DUTY YOUR TIME
PORK OR IN THE STAFF THESE
REPLACEMENT ETCETERA.
THEN YOU'RE YOU'RE TRYING TO GO
WAY WAY UPSTREAM NOT TO CHANGE
CONSUMER COMMERCIAL MARKETS
RIGHT NOW BUT MAYBE IN TEN
FIFTEEN YEARS TO COMPLETELY
TRANSFORM THEM WITH THE KIND OF
WORK THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT
STRATEGIC GROWTH COUNCIL ON.
ENERGY INNOVATION AND THEN
THERE'S THIS SORT OF RESOURCES
SPACE WHICH HAS A VERY DIFFERENT
KIND OF MARKET IMPACT OF MAYBE
YOU'VE GOT DIFFERENT GOALS SO I
WOULD JUST SAY.
WE NEED A BETTER WAY TO DO
APPLES TO APPLES ANALYSIS OF HOW
THIS STEPS WORKING OUT'S
COMPLIMENTING OUR PROGRAMS. SO.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS NEED
MORE DIRECTION FROM US TO BE
ABLE TO. REFINE THAT OR IF
THERE'S SOME WAY MAYBE EVEN FOR
LA GO TO PUT TO TO SORT OF LAYER
ON TOP OF THIS I JUST I'M I'M
NOT.
THE NUMBERS ARE NICE BUT THEY
DON'T SEEM TO TELL THE WHOLE
STORY EVEN IF THERE'S A WAY THAT
SORT OF CATEGORIZE OUR TYPE.
OUT THESE PROJECT TYPES OF THAT
WE CAN GET A BETTER SENSE I
THINK THAT WOULD HELP SO SOMEONE
IN FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION JUST
VERY BRIEFLY.
.
SPECIFICALLY WITH IN THE THE
THAT THE PLAN RIGHT NOW.
SAID TO SEE SOME LOW CARBON
FUEL PRODUCTION HAVE BEEN HOPING
FOR THAT FOR A FEW YEARS SO. I I
DO THINK WE NEED TO PUSH
ESPECIALLY FOR OUR. OUR OUR IN
STATE GUYS.
I I I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS
ABOUT THE.
THE WASTE DIVERSION SIDE GIVEN
OUR AGGRESSIVE GOALS ON
RECYCLING IN BIO MASSIVE WASTE
DIVERSION.
THAT DOWN TAKE THEIR DOES CAUSE
SOME CONCERN PLASTIC RECYCLING
BY MASTER VERSION.
BUT I I JUST ONE HAS BEEN A
QUICK SEC ON THE NEW STUFF AND I
DON'T WANT TO REPEAT THE CHAIR'S
COMMENTS ABOUT THAT THEY WERE
USEFUL BUT. ON AYE BANK AND ON
THE CLEAN ENERGY A CLIMATE CLEAN
ENERGY RESEARCH.
ON THE AYE BAY FRONT.
TWENTY MILLION WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU CAN LEVERAGE OUT OF THIS
TWENTY GIVE US SORT OF DO YOU DO
HAVE SOME BASIC IN HOUSE MATH
THAT YOU YOU SAY.
THIS TWENTY WE CAN BRING IN ACTS
ABOUT A PRIVATE SECTOR CAPITAL
HERE.
SO.
BASED ON THE LAST.
THREE ISSUES THAT I BAKER IS
DONE WE CAN LEVERAGE.
I.
ASSUMING A TRIP WE MAINTAIN OUR
TRIPLE A RATING AND I HAVE NO
REASON TO BELIEVE THAT. TO BE
OTHERWISE. I BELIEVE WE CAN
LEVERAGE THE TWENTY MILLION
DOLLARS TO SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS
FOR ONE TO THREE ONE TWO THREE
ONE THREE BECAUSE I'VE I'VE SEEN
I MEAN DIFFERENT PROGRAMS
DIFFERENT LEVERAGE YOU'VE I'VE
SEEN ONE TO FIVE. YOU KNOW
THERE'S BEEN LOAN GUARANTEE
PROGRAMS THEN GO ONE TO TEN AND
IT SORT OF DEPENDS ON WHAT THE
PRODUCT IS YOU'RE OFFERING IS IT
BECAUSE IT'S JUST A STRAIGHT.
REVOLVING LOAN IN THAT SORT OF
LOAN LOSS RESERVE ANY DIFFERENCE
OR TO STRUCTURE FIGHT ON BUT YOU
GET.
ALL ALL THOSE THINGS THAT YOU
SAID WORK EXACTLY RIGHT AND
THAT'S WHY PREFERENCE PREFACED
MY RESPONSE.
A ASSUMING A TRIPLE A RATING.
AND SO WE HAVE A LONG GUARANTEE
PROGRAM IN OUR SMALL BUSINESS
FINANCE CENTER WE LEVERAGE WE
HAVE AUTHORITY TO LEVERAGE THAT
UP TO TEN TIMES. THAT WE
LEVERAGE THAT.
AND UP TO FIVE TIMES AND IT'S A
DIFFERENT. QUALITY OF CREDIT AND
WE'RE USING IT AS A RESERVE
FUND.
AS SAID A CREDIT ENHANCEMENT SO.
THAT I THINK THE RISK OF FIVE
TWO ONE IS APPROPRIATE BUT IN
THAT IN THAT CONTEXT IN THAT
SCENARIO.
ON THE ON THE BOND SIDE ON THE
REVENUE BOND SIDE AND IT BEING A
STATE REVOLVING FUND.
THERE ARE.
IF WE WANT TO MAINTAIN THE
TRIPLE A RATING AND THAT'S
IMPORTANT. BECAUSE THE THE THE
BENEFIT OF THE TRIPLE A RATING
IS THE LOWER INTEREST COST.
AND WE DON'T HAVE.
INVESTORS. WE HAVE BOND HOLDERS
WE DON'T HAVE SHAREHOLDERS WE
PASS ON THAT.
.
BENEFIT THAT REDUCED INTEREST
BECAUSE.
TO THE MUNICIPAL BORROWERS RIGHT
AND SO. IT'S IMPORTANT. AND
LEVERAGING THAT TWENTY MILLION.
ONLY SO MUCH IT'S TO GET
ADDITIONAL FUNDS BUT NOT TO
JEOPARDIZE THE THE LOW COST
BENEFIT OF THE TRIPLE A RATING
SO. CHINESE ARE ACTUAL LOANS ARE
PUTTING OUT THERE ARE THE ACTUAL
FINANCINGS REAL DOLLARS COMING
IN THE DOOR.
SO I I GUESS THE ANNOUNCES THAT
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IS.
TO THE CHAIR'S POINT. WHAT COULD
YOU DO WITH MORE?
SO SAY TWENTY BEEN BEING AT
SIXTY THAT'S AN EIGHTY MILLION
DOLLAR CHARGE
YOU GET. BY IN THEORY THREE
YEARS TO PUT IT OUT SOMETHING
LIKE THAT.
PLEASE TWO TO THREE SUNNY WITH
WE WOULD PROBABLY DO THE TWENTY
MILLION IN THE FIRST YEAR OKAY
ART I MEAN TO SAY YOU
DIDN'T-WANT PEOPLE TO SAY DID
EIGHTY
MIL IS SO TWENTY ON PUBLIC
DOLLAR AND THAT MAY BE LEVERAGED
EIGHTY TOTAL. SO.
ON AND ON A LARGER BASE IS LIKE
IF WE WERE LOOKING AT LEVERAGING
MORE GTR IF IN GENERAL AND USING
SOME OF THESE FINANCING TOOLS AS
OPPOSED IS STRAIGHT CASH GRANTS
INTO THE SYSTEM. HOW MUCH MORE
COULD WE BE GETTING OUT OF
PRIVATE SECTOR IN INVESTING IN
THIS THAT WE CURRENTLY ARE SO I
IT THAT'S THE QUESTION I'M
INTERESTED IN BECAUSE? IN SOME
WAYS WITH THE I. BANG CAN BE IS
A SCREEN THROUGH WHICH A LOT OF
THE OTHER PROJECT CATEGORIES
HERE CAN BE FUN AND YOU'RE
PLAYING IN. THE WATER SPACE
YOU'RE IN THE TRANSPORTATION
SPACE HERE IN THE ENERGY SPACE.
WHAT WENT THROUGH?
FOLLOWING LOANS CREDIT
ENHANCEMENT LOAN GUARANTEES WHAT
MORE CAN WE BEGINNING AT MAYBE
IT'S A QUESTION ALEJO CAN LOOK
INTO BUT JUST PROJECT AT SAY
TOOK A BILLION DOLLARS.
AND YOU AND YOU DID A VARIETY
DIFFERENT PROJECTS AND YOU
ACTUALLY WERE ABLE LETTER TO
FIVE BILLION DOLLARS OF OF
PRIVATE SECTOR CAPITAL ON THAT.
HOW MUCH MORE BANG FOR OUR BUCK
ARE WE GONNA GET OUT PRIVATE
MONEY IF WE IF WE SHOULD PURSUE
THAT? AND IT MAY NOT WORK WITH
EVERYTHING RIGHT LIKE IT'S NOT
GONNA WORK FOR INSTANCE WITH.
CLIMATE AND ENERGY RESEARCH
WHICH IS VERY EARLY STAGE SORT
OF TRYING TO BE A GAME CHANGER
YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET BANKS
WANTING TO PUT IN BIG MONEY
YEARLY AT LEST WE SET A
PHILANTHROPIC SIDE RIGHT.
SO.
YOUR QUESTION SOMETHING I THINK
ABOUT NOT NECESSARILY EVERY DAY
BUT ALL THE TIME. IN THE SENSE
THAT THE MORE EQUITY THAT YOU'RE
PUTTING INTO THE STATE REVOLVING
FUND THAT WHICH IS THE AT THE I
SERVE PROGRAM.
THEN THE MORE.
ROOM YOU HAVE TO LEVERAGE IT
HIGHER SO BRINGING IN TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS IN.
THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR
POOL.
A THREE TO ONE LEVERAGE IS IS IS
MANAGEABLE AND REASONABLE AND
PRUDENT.
IF THERE WERE MORE EQUITY BEING
BROUGHT INTO THE PROGRAM.
THEN WE WOULD BE ABLE TO
LEVERAGE IT TO A GREATER EXTENT
SO TO THE EXTENT YOU'VE HAD
pTHAT THEY SAID THEY'VE. BEEN
ABLE TO LEVERAGE IT FIVE TIMES
OR TEN TIMES. I WOULD ASK HOW
MUCH MORE EQUITY ARE YOU
STARTING WITH. AND SO WE WERE IN
OF THEIR PLAYING MONOPOLY IN THE
YOU KNOW USING REALLY BIG
NUMBERS. HE COULD LEVERAGE.
I THINK YOU COULD LEVERAGE.
A BILLION DOLLARS FIVE TIMES
WITH THAT AT THE INFRASTRUCTURE
PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE
RIGHT WELL LET'S FOLLOW UP ON
THAT POINT VERY JUST THEIR ONE
LAST THING THANK YOU FOR
INDULGING ME ON THE. ON THIS NEW
STRATEGIC GROWTH COUNCIL
INITIATIVE WHICH I HAVE TO SAY I
MEAN CREDIBLY EXCITED TO SEE.
THE GOVERNOR TAKE ON.
THIS SORT OF INNOVATION PART OF
THE PUZZLE AND EMBRACE IT.
.
IT'S
IT'S NOT OFTEN IS TANGIBLE AND
OBVIOUS AS OPPOSED TO THE SOLAR
ROOF IS RIGHT ON YOUR HOUSE OR
THE ELECTRIC VEHICLES RIGHT IN
YOUR YARD OR THERE'S A TREE
RIGHT NEAR NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT I
THINK THERE'S AN EQUITY CASE TO
BE MADE HERE THAT IF WE'RE NOT
INVESTING IN THESE LONG TERM.
GAME CHANGING BREAKTHROUGHS IN
TECHNOLOGY THAT.
ALL THESE PRODUCTS THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT ARE STILL GOING
TO.
YOU YOU KNOW BE ATTAINABLE ONLY
BY CERTAIN SECTORS SOCIETY AND
SO TO ME REALLY MAKING ARE KIND
OF PROGRAM ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL
COMMUNITIES RURAL. DISADVANTAGE
IS REALLY GOING TO BE ABOUT THIS
INNOVATION PEACE EVEN THOUGH
IT'S GOING TO BE STARTING
LABORATORIES AND IT'S GONNA
START IN INCUBATORS AND IT'S NOT
GONNA BE OBVIOUSLY OUT ON THE
STREET BUT. I WANTED TO JUST
MAKE ONE QUICK POINT FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION AS YOU DEVELOP
YOUR PLAN WHICH IS.
PURE RESEARCH IS DIFFERENT THAN
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IT'S
GOING TOWARDS COMMERCIALIZATION
SO I'M I'M ENCOURAGED IS SEE
THIS SORT OF.
IT REFINEMENT YOU'VE DONE ON TOP
OF THE ELEVEN MILLION TO SAY
WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT TECHNOLOGY
COMMERCIALIZATION AND I WOULD
JUST ADMIT THAT YOU'RE GONNA
NEED DIFFERENT. PERSONNEL AND IT
HAD A DIFFERENT SORT OF GRANT
MAKING PROCESS EVEN POTENTIALLY
FOR PROJECTS THAT MAY DEVELOP
VERY VALUABLE IP.
AND MAY BE I MEAN YOU REALLY TRY
TO LINK IT TO VENTURE CAPITAL
MARKETS AND PRIVATE SECTOR
INVESTORS VERSES.
A MAPPING EXERCISE OR PLANNING
EXERCISE OR NEW DATA TOOLS THAT
WE NEED
THE PUBLIC INTEREST BUT THAT MAY
NOT BE. A SORT OF COMMERCIALIZE
A BILL TECHNOLOGY IT'S GONNA BE
OF PUBLIC VALUE SO.
I THINK THERE TOO SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT TYPES OF INVESTMENT
STRUCTURES AND AND IN MY VIEW. I
WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT WE NEED TO
FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO GET THE
BEST AND BRIGHTEST MINDS IN THE
CALIFORNIA STATE GOVERNMENT WHO
UNDERSTAND HOW THE PRIVATE
SECTOR WORK TEMPERING THAT
COUNTY IN. TO MAKE REALLY SMART
DECISIONS AND GIVE THEM THE SORT
A TIME HORIZON THAT THEY'RE
GOING TO WANT TO COME IN AND
KNOW THAT THEIR PROGRAMS GOING
TO BE AROUND FOR A BIT. IF I'M
GONNA LEAVE THE PRIVATE SECTOR
AND LEAVE A BIG SALARY AND DO MY
SERVICE TO THE GOVERNMENT AND I
THINK WELL I GOT ONE I GOT ONE
YEAR THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
IN MY REALLY GONNA DROP
EVERYTHING I'M DOING RUNNING.
I NEED TO BE THERE A DOLLAR
CLEAN ENERGY FUND
I DON'T KNOW BUT IF I HAVE SOME
GLIDE PATH OUT TO THE FUTURE
MAYBE THEN. YOU KNOW ITS WORTH
THE COMMITMENT SO JUST FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION.
SENATOR THAT THAT THANK YOU
THANK YOU FOR FOR SAYING THAT I
THINK THE POINT VERY VERY WILL
TAKE AND AND AND I THINK WE CAN
COMMIT TO WORK WITH. IT YOUR
OFFICE AND YOU ALL IN HELPING TO
KIND OF REFINE THE APPROACH
MOVING FORWARD IN ALL THIS ALL
TO SAY THAT WE ARE IN THE MIDST
OF CONDUCTING A LANDSCAPE
ANALYSIS WITH REGARD TO. SIMILAR
PROGRAMS IN THE STATE IN THE
NATION AND GLOBALLY WHERE.
YOU HAVE.
PUBLIC IN THE STATE TRYING TO
SORT OF THREAD THE RIGHT KIND
OF.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN.
PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS INDUSTRY
ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS.
BOTH THAT IF FEDERAL NAPA
STATEWIDE AND AND PRIVATE WHAT
IS THE RIGHT KIND OF MIX IN
TERMS OF PERSONNEL.
INVESTMENT AND YOU KNOW WHAT A
THAT ONE OF THE OUTCOMES THAT WE
THAT WE REALLY WANT WE WANT TO
GET OUT OF IT.
AND WE HAVE STE CYCLOTRON ROAD
LAWRENCE BERKELEY NATIONAL
LABORATORIES HERE IN CALIFORNIA
ARE PRETTY AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL
EXAMPLES IN AUSTRALIA IN THE
LIST THE LIST COULD GO N AND WE
ARE LOOKING AT THEM ALL WITH
REGARD TO BEST PRACTICES IN.
WHAT MAKES WHAT MIGHT MAKE THE
MOST SENSE TO LOOK FOR TODAY TO
THE CONTINUED CONVERSATION THANK
YOU?
I FORGOT TO ASK QUESTION NINE
METHANE WE'VE GOT NINETY NINE
MILLION IN THE THE FUN SEVENTY
THREE MILLION IS FOR DAIRY TAKE
GESTURES SIXTEEN OR TWENTY SIX
IS FOR. MANEUVER MANAGEMENT WHY
THAT SPLIT AND I KNOW THAT YOUR
REPORT SAYS TO BE DETERMINED ON
THE. ALTERNATIVE MANAGE MANEUVER
MANAGEMENT.
THAT WAS IN NOVEMBER NOW WE'RE
IN MARCH DO WE KNOW ANYTHING
ELSE SO I'M GONNA ASK YOU
REPRESENT FROM THE DEPARTMENT
FOOD AND AGRICULTURE.
THE MANEUVER SPECIALISTS.
WHAT WOULD COME?
OKAY LET'S SEE WHAT HE SAYS
YEAH.
AND AFTERNOON CHAIR MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE KEVIN MOSS WHO ARE
DEATHLY SECRETARIAT FOOD TANK.
I'M NOT SURE IF I WANT TO BE
KNOWN AS.
THE MANEUVER EXPERT.
HOWEVER THAT BEING SAID I'LL TRY
TO ADDRESS YOUR QUESTION.
ON THE SPLIT IS DETERMINED EACH
YEAR HIM ONE OF THE THINGS IS
CONSIDERED IS IS THAT THERE'S A
DIFFERENT FUNDING THRESHOLD FOR
THESE PROJECTS BECAUSE JERRY DI
JESTERS ARE VERY COMPLEX
PROJECTS.
AND ACCORDINGLY THEY ARE HIGHER
DOLLAR AMOUNTS PER PROJECT.
EGGMAN OR MANAGEMENT PROJECTS
ARE MUCH SMALLER AND THE DOLLAR
SCALE.
AND SO WITH THAT SPLIT THEY
BASICALLY THAT TOTAL DOES FUND
ABOUT AN EQUAL NUMBER OF
PROJECTS.
UP AND DOWN THE STATE.
HOW ABOUT THE BANG FOR THE BUCK
AND REDUCING?
EMISSIONS BECAUSE WE AGAIN I
DON'T HAVE A A WORKING NUMBER OF
HOW MANY LARGE.
CATTLE AND GARY.
FACILITIES THERE ARE AND
OBVIOUSLY THE THEY HAVE THE
DAIRY TRADE GESTURES WHICH IS A
GOOD FIT FOR THEM AND HOW MANY
OF THE SMALL AREAS.
THAT WITH A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY
COULD GET INTO THIS ALTERNATIVE.
MANAGEMENT.
I'M I DON'T HAVE EXACT NUMBERS
BUT I HAVE A SENSE FOR
PROPORTIONALITY SAKE BUT THE
DAIRY DIE JUST ARE PROJECTS ON A
DOLLAR PER REDUCTION OF
GREENHOUSE GASES DOES
EXCEEDINGLY AYE ALTERNATE MANURE
MANAGEMENT PROJECTS.
COME I CAN'T QUANTIFY THAT FOR
YOU EXACTLY.
ROUGHLY THE DAIRY DIE JUST A
PROJECTS IN THE LAST NUMBERS I
SAW ON THESE WERE FOR TWENTY
FIFTEEN. BUT EVERYSEVEN DOLLARS
RESULTS IN ABOUT A METRIC TONNE
REDUCTION.
I AM I DON'T KNOW IF I HAVE THE
LATEST NUMBERS ON THE MANURE
MANAGEMENT PROJECTS.
SENATOR MCGUIRE YEAH I. THINK SO
MUCH I MISTER CHAIR WITH A WE WE
BROUGHT TOGETHER IN A VERY
GRATEFUL I TO CDFA.
ALONG WAYS CON.
GARY MAIN CAROLINE LAST YEAR
ABOUT TALKING WITH NORTH COAST
DAIRYMAN.
SO I THINK THE ISSUE ON DIE
GESTURES IS GOING TOWARDS AT
THOSE OPERATIONS WHICH ARE MUCH
LARGER A. IN CANDIDLY HAVE A
HIGH VOLUME OF THE NORTH.
BUT I THINK THAT WE'VE SEEN
OVER THE LAST DECADE.
THERE'S BEEN SOME CHALLENGES
WOULD DIE GESTURES ARE ANYTHING
TO YOUR DEPARTMENT IS THAT
PROVIDE IS WITH THOSE NUMBERS.
BUT LIKE FOR EXAMPLE WITH A
PROGRAM LIKE A CHAMP POURSUITE.
RIGHT.
IT GREATLY BENEFITS THOSE
SMALLER PROVIDERS
AND IN PARTICULARLY IF IT'S AN
ORGANIC DAIRY.
YOU DON'T HAVE THEM IN OR.
BECAUSE THEY'RE IF THEY HAVE TO
BE OUT ON PAST YEAR. AND DO HAVE
SOME CONCERN.
SO MUCH OF THIS IS GOING INTO.
THEY DIE GESTURES WHEN CONSUMER
DEMAND IS BASED OFF OF ORGANIC
AND WHEN COWS ARE AN IMPASSE
YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO COLLECT.
THE NEW WORD TO BE OF THE
PUTTING THE DIE GESTURE AYE AT
THE VOLUMES THAT ARE TRULY
NEEDED.
AND THOSE DOLLARS FOR LIKE FOR
EXAMPLE IN.
JUST STARTED BEING DISTRIBUTED.
LIKE THREE WEEKS AGO FROM YOUR
DEPARTMENT I KNOW SEVERAL
DAIRIES ON THE NORTH COAST
RECEIVED BY THE WAY I THINK YOU
SO MUCH. A TO CDFA IN THE WORK.
BUT I DO HAVE SOME CONCERN IN
REGARD TO THE BREAKDOWN.
BECAUSE THE ISSUE OF ORGANIC AND
CONSUMER DEMANDS WE SEEN.
YEAH YOUR POINT'S WELL TAKEN
AND I CAN HAVE THE TECHNICAL
FOLKS IN THIS PROGRAM TAKE
ANOTHER LOOK AT HOW THEY CAME UP
WITH THESE NUMBERS.
WE CAN APPRECIATE THAT A
CONVERSATION WITH STAFF ON THAT
PLEASE OKAY HERE WE CAN ARRANGE
FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. LOOKING
GREAT ALRIGHT TO JUMP INVENTORS
TURN ON THE METHANE REDUCTION
VERY BRIEF ON THIS POINT JUST OF
JEWS TO FURTHER MAKE MY POINT
YOU'RE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SEVEN DOLLAR TIME PROJECTION ON
THESE PROJECTS AND THEN. WORK
MORE THAN LOOKING AT LIKE TWO
THOUSAND DOLLARS PER TON ON
FINANCING LOW INCOME CONSUMERS
AND YOU KNOW SIXTY SEVEN DOLLARS
A TON ON A CV R. P. AND FORTY
THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS A TON FOR
CLEAN MOBILITY OPTIONS FOR
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.
WHEN YOU WHENEVER RANGE FROM A
SEVEN DOLLARS TO FOUR THOUSAND
DOLLARS IT'S VERY HARD TO MAKE
SORT OF THAT. A REAL JUDGMENT
HERE WE'RE NOT REALLY TRYING TO
RANK THESE THINGS FROM THE LIKE
WE SHOULD BE FUNDING ONLY THE
LOWEST DOLLAR PER TIME THAT WE.
SHOULDN'T BE FUNDING HIGHEST
HONOR FOR TEN SO JUST. FROM THE
AIR BOARD OR FROM D. O. F. WE'D
LOVE JUST SOME FEEDBACK ON FORTY
STATE IS THERE A MORE MEANINGFUL
WAY TO EVALUATE EFFICACY HERE
OTHER THAN THESE.
SORT OF DOLLAR PER TON NUMBERS
WHICH JUST THEY DON'T GO. THEY
DON'T STACK RIGHT WE AGREE IN.
THEM LOOK.
THE WAY THAT I HAVE
CHARACTERIZED IT IN THE PAST IS.
DRAWING A DISTINCTION BETWEEN A
COST EFFECTIVENESS IN A COST
BENEFIT. COST EFFECTIVENESS AS
YOU ALLUDED TO ARM I WOULD. COME
TO CHARACTERIZE MAYBE A SOMEWHAT
ONE DIMENSIONAL.
WE NEED TO COST BENEFIT YOU'RE
TAKING NEW ACCOUNT ALL OF THE
DIFFERENT BENEFITS AND SO THINK
ABOUT HEALTHY FORESTS. SO NOT
ONLY DOES HEALTHY FOREST.
PROVIDER.
CARBON BENEFITS IN TERMS OF THE
SEQUESTRATION PERSPECTIVE. BUT
IN THE.
BENEFITS TO THE STATES.
FUEL LOAD AND A WILDFIRE
REDUCTION RISKS AS WELL AS.
THE STATE'S WATERSHEDS.
DON'T FALL INTO A COST
EFFECTIVENESS CALCULATION
SO WE HAVE TO LOOK SO.
ADMITTEDLY IT'S MORE QUALITATIVE
AND QUANTITATIVE BUT WHEN WERE
PRIORITIZING WE LOOK AT THESE
OTHER CUT BENEFITS.
DOES.
WHAT IS TO BE OF BENEFIT TO
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT TO?
ECOSYSTEMS WHAT IS OF THE
WILDFIRE RISK REDUCTION HOW DO
WE.
PUT MORE MONEY IN THE POCKETS
OF LOW INCOME CALIFORNIANS AND
SO.
WE DO THINK YOU NEED TO TAKE A
MORE MULTI DIMENSIONAL OF
PERSPECTIVE TO IT.
BUT COST EFFECTIVENESS IS STILL
IMPORTANT LANDS TO HELP INFORM
THE DECISION BUT NOT THE ONLY
ONES.
ROUND HERE MAKING THAT.
YEAH I THINK JUST ON THIS POINT
ABOUT HOW TO KIND OF THINK ABOUT
SPENDING THE MONEY AND.
AND COME OUT TO EVALUATE IT I
THINK AND I'LL JUST REITERATE
SOME POINTS OF THE CHAIR IS
PROBABLY ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH
BUT I THINK SOME OF THE THE WAYS
IN WHICH WE THINK ABOUT IT ARE.
AND HOW DOES IT FIT IN WITH THE
OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WE ALREADY
HAVE AND WHAT WHAT ARE SORT OF
GAPS THAT YOU KNOW POTENTIALLY
COULD BE FILLED BY PROVIDING
MORE FUNDING.
VIA ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE
MENTIONED CO A LOT IS YOU KNOW
THINKING ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE
MAYBE TARGETED BY SOME OF THE
OTHER REGULATIONS LIKE CAP AND
TRADE YOU KNOW WHERE WHERE SORT
OF THE MISSION REDUCTIONS AT
NEED OUTSIDE OF THAT. I'M EVEN
KIND OF WITHIN THOSE SECTORS
THERE MAY BE NO AREAS WHERE YOU
HAVE INSTEAD OF THAT IT PROVIDED
BY THESE OTHER REGULATIONS.
STILL NOT GOING TO ENCOURAGE
SOME OF THE COST EFFECTIVE
ACTIVITIES THINGS LIKE RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT YOU KNOW MAYBE
EVEN WITH HER AND AND.
SORT OF PRICE INCENTIVE THERE
STILL NOT SORT OF THE INCENTIVE
FOR THAT EARLIER STAGES
RESEARCHING DEVELOPMENTS OF
THINKING ABOUT KIND OF. YOU KNOW
HOW THOSE PROGRAMS FIT INTO THAT
CONTEXT IN.
KIND OF INTERACTIONS WITH THE
OTHER.
OTHER REGULATIONS THAT THE
STATE HAS WE THINK IT'S AN
IMPORTANT THING AND THEN JUST A
TO MISTER ARMEY'S POINT.
CLEARLY THEY KIND OF CUT
BENEFITS OR OTHER TYPES OF
BENEFITS THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED BY
FUNDING THESE PROGRAMS WHETHER
THEY BE LOCAL AIR POLLUTION OR
WATER OR WHATEVER I MEAN THAT'S
YOU KNOW THAT'S ALSO AN
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION THAT
HAVE TO BE BALANCED AGAINST ME
OF SOME OF THE GAC. STUFF.
ALRIGHT THANK YOU LET'S OPEN UP
THE PUBLIC HEARING MYERSON THAT
WE HAVE. A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO
HAVE A COMMENT ON THE
EXPENDITURE PLAN. FOR THE
GREENHOUSE GAS FUND MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS JOSHUA SHAW WITH THE
CALIFORNIA TRANSIT ASSOCIATION
REPRESENT ALL OF YOUR LOCAL
PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEMS WORKING
WITH THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD
RIGHT NOW TO FASHION REGULATION
THAT WILL ENSURE EVERY TRANSIT
AGENCY CONVERTS ITS ENTIRE
VEHICLE FLEET WERE TALK ABOUT
TRANSIT BUSES. TWO ZERO
EMISSIONS AT THE SOONEST
POSSIBLE TIME THAT'S WHY WE TAKE
THE GOVERNOR FOR PROPOSING TO
CONTINUE DISCRETIONARY CAP AND
TRADE FUNDING FOR THE CLEAN
TRUCK AND BUS PROGRAM THAT
PROVIDES VOUCHERS ARE AGENCIES
TO GET FOR. VEHICLES A COST MORE
THIS TECHNOLOGY IS NOT THERE YET
STILL MORE EXPENSIVE THE
CONVENTIONAL.
FEEL HAVING SAID THAT THOUGH
CURRENT YEARS PROGRAM WAS THE
DOLLARS ARE MADE AVAILABLE IN
DECEMBER WE ALREADY GOT MORE
THAN SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT OF
THOSE DOLLARS SUBSCRIBE FOR.
TELEPHONE ABOUT A HUNDRED EIGHTY
BUSES MEMBERS THERE ARE MORE
THAN TEN THOUSAND TRANSIT BUSES
IN THE STATE THAT ARE GONNA NEED
TO BE CONVERTED TO ZERO
EMISSIONS WE'RE GONNA NEED TO
WORK WITH YOU FOR A MUCH MORE
ROBUST FUNDING PROGRAM TO GET US
TO THE GOALS OF THEY ARE. BE
REGULATION WILL COME BACK
HOPEFULLY WORK WITH YOU
LEADERSHIP IN A OR B. AND THE
GOVERNOR ON THAT FUNDING
PROGRAMS.
THANK YOU KAREN MEMBERS MELISSA
ROMERO WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL
GROUP CALIFORNIANS AGAINST WASTE
I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON CAO
RECYCLES FUNDING UNDER THIS
PROGRAM DESPITE PROVEN SUCCESS
AND SUSTAIN DEMAND FOR THESE
PROGRAMS. THE ADMINISTRATION HAS
PROPOSED TO CUT THE SPENDING IN
HALF AT A TIME WHEN THERE IS A
GREAT NEED TO INCREASE THAT
SPENDING. THE PROJECT FUNDED
UNDER THIS PROGRAM PROVIDE THE
CRITICAL PUBLIC INVESTMENT
NEEDED FOR CITIES TO MAKE THEIR
ORGANIC WASTE RECYCLING AND
EDIBLE FOOD WASTE ABOUT
PREVENTION AND RECOVERY. OF FROM
THE REQUIREMENTS OF S. B.
THIRTEENTH THREE.
MOREOVER THE COLLAPSE OF THE
CHINESE RECYCLING MARKETS WHICH
HER AFFECTING EVERY CITY AND
COUNTY IN THE STATE.
HAVE SHOWN THE IMPORTANCE FOR
CREATING A STABLE DOMESTIC
MARKETS
SO WE BELIEVE IT'S CLEAR THAT
THIS IS POWER CYCLE PROGRAMS ARE
WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT THERE ALSO
MOST COST EFFECTIVE AND. AND
OVERSUBSCRIBED OF ANY DEPARTMENT
THANK YOU
THANK YOU.
JULIE NON ASK ON BEHALF OF
CALIFORNIA ELECTRIC
TRANSPORTATION COALITION
ACTUALLY WE WANNA THINK THE
ADMINISTRATION IN THIS BODY FOR
CONTINUING TO PRIORITIZE LOW
CARBON TRANSPORTATION THEN THE
GTR AFTER. A A SPENDING PLAN.
WE KNOW EXACTLY THE BENEFITS
WERE GETTING FROM THIS.
AND WE'RE GOING TO EAT WHAT
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THOUGH KIND
OF STARTING WITH MISTER SHAW IS
THAT WE DO DO NEED TO ENHANCE
THESE PROGRAMS ESPECIALLY IN THE
MEDIUM AND HEAVY DUTY CATEGORIES
BUT ABSOLUTE DELIGHT DUTY AS
WELL IN THE EQUITY PROGRAMS.
POINT IS AT THE GOVERNOR IN THIS
BODY HAS SET GOALS TO REACH. IN
TERMS OF ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES
ON THE ROAD BY A DATE CERTAIN
AND THE DOLLARS IN THERE ARE
GOING TO GET YOU THAT A
PROJECTOR THAT YOU NEED SO.
WE SUPPORT IT WE THINK WE SHOULD
BE LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL
DOLLARS TO TO CONTINUE TO MOVE
US ON THAT PATH TO MEET THOSE
GOALS. INTO ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA BIOMASS ENERGY
ALLIANCE ALSO WANTED TO SUPPORT
THE.
THE UP ALLOCATION FOR THE
HEALTHY FORESTS INITIATIVE THIS
IS GETTING
PREVIOUSLY ON ECONOMIC PROJECTS
IN THE FOR IS FUNDED.
AND PART OF THOSE PROJECTS ARE
GETTING THE MATERIAL ON THE
FOREST YOU BIOMASS FACILITIES TO
GENERATE A BENEFICIAL A CO
BENEFIT TO TO THAT PROJECT EVEN
MORE.
I HEARD A LITTLE EARLIER TODAY
IN THE DIALOGUE KIND MEDIA TREES
VERSUS TRUCK SCENARIO COMING UP
IN THIS DISCUSSION IT HAS TO BE
BOTH WE CAN'T BE SAYING. MOVE
MOVE THE MONEY FROM POOREST
INITIATIVES TO THE TRUCKS IT YOU
HAVE TO DO BOTH BECAUSE OF THIS
NEW REGIME THAT WE LIVE IN THANK
YOU.
NEXT.
BILL MADERA WITH THE COALITION
FOR CLEAN AIR AND SPEAKING FOR
THE CALIFORNIA CLIMATE EQUITY
COALITION WHICH SUPPORTS CLIMATE
INVESTMENTS IN DISADVANTAGED IN
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES. A WE
SUPPORT THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL
FOR A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
FOR TRANSPORTATION EQUITY
PROJECTS.
BUT HIS COMMITMENT ON THE LIGHT
DUTY SIDE IS NOT MATCHED ON THE
HEAVY DUTY SIDE. AS YOU'VE HEARD
IS PROPOSING A FIFTY PERCENT
CUT.
FOR CLEAN TRUCKS BUSES AND PORTS
SO WE URGE THE LEGISLATURE TO
FUND THAT AT HIGHER LEVELS. WERE
ALSO CONCERNED YOU ALLUDED TO
THIS EARLIER MISTER CHAIRMAN
THAT THE LOW INCOME ENERGY
PROGRAM WOULD BE ZEROED OUT FOR
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
SO WE'RE PROGRAMS. FOR LOW
INCOME PEOPLE AS WELL AS FOR
URBAN GREENING AND URBAN
FORESTRY WE DON'T THINK THAT
THOSE NEEDS ARE MET. BY PROP
SIXTY EIGHT. SO THE PROGRAM
SHOULD BE CONTINUED.
AND FINALLY TRANSFORMATIVE
CLIMATE COMMUNITIES WHICH IS AN
INNOVATIVE PROGRAM A DESERVES
MORE THAN TWENTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS IN FUNDING WE SUPPORT A
LEVEL OF FOUR HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS FOR NEXT YEAR.
GOOD AFTERNOON JULIA LEVIN WITH
A BIO ENERGY ASSOCIATION OF
CALIFORNIA.
MISTER CHAIRMAN AS YOU SAID THE
CURRENT KAPPA TRADE FUNDS ARE
REGULATED BY A. B. THIRTY TWO.
THAT REQUIRES THAT WE MAXIMIZE
THE MOST BECAUSE
EFFECTIVE GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTIONS SO EVEN THOUGH I
AGREE THERE ARE OTHER
PRIORITIES.
WE CERTAINLY SHOULD BE LOOKING
AT WHAT ARE THE MOST COST
EFFECTIVE REDUCTIONS IN
ACCORDING TO THE ALEJO THAT IS
THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE. DEALING
WITH ORGANIC WASTE THE PROGRAMS
AT THE DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND
AGRICULTURE TO DEAL WITH GARY IN
OUR CULTURAL EMISSIONS.
THE PROGRAM A CALORIE CYCLE TO
DEAL WITH DIVERTED ORGANIC WASTE
AND THE PROGRAMS THAT CAL FIRE
TO REDUCE EMISSIONS FROM WILD
FIRE WHICH. SENATOR MCGUIRE AS
YOU POINTED OUT WILD FIRE
MISSIONS NOW EXCEED ALL OF THE
REDUCTIONS THAT WE'VE
ACCOMPLISHED. AND CLEAN ENERGY
IN EVERY OTHER SECTOR WE HAVE
TO GET AHEAD OF THE WILDFIRE
CRISIS IN CALIFORNIA.
SO ALONG THOSE LINES I ECHO THE
COMMENTS OF CALIFORNIANS AGAINST
WASTE WE REALLY URGE THE
LEGISLATURE TO INCREASE.
I WAS FUNDING FOR CAL RECYCLE
FROM TWENTY MILLION WHICH IS
NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH TO A HUNDRED
MILLION WHICH IS STILL A TINY A
FRACTION OF WHAT'S NECESSARY. WE
ALSO URGED THE LEGISLATURE TO
INCREASE THE PROPOSED FUNDING
FOR CAL FIRE. IT'S INCONCEIVABLE
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION WOULD
PROPOSE A CUT IN THAT FUNDING WE
HAD THE MOST DEVASTATING
WILDFIRE YEAR INTHE STATE'S
HISTORY WE DESPERATELY NEED IT.
AND I ENCOURAGE LEGISLATURE TO
ENSURE THAT A SMALL PORTION JUST
TEN PERCENT. GO TO FOREST BIO
ENERGY FACILITIES THAT CAN TAKE
SOME OF THE HUNDRED AND THIRTY
MILLION DEAD AND DYING TREES.
AND OTHER VEGETATION THAT HOUSE
TO BE REMOVED TO CREATE
DEFENSIBLE SPACE AROUND
POWERLINES AND COMMUNITIES AND
HOMES.
THE LAST QUICK THREE AREAS THAT
WE STRONGLY SUPPORT IN THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL OF THE
FUNDING FOR OUR IN DE FOR THE
REASONS THAT RANDALL OTHERS HAVE
SAID. THESE ARE REALLY
IMPORTANT.
ARE ANDY AREAS TO IMPROVE
COMMUNITY CLIMATE RESILIENCE
ESPECIALLY FROM THINGS LIKE
WILDFIRE ANOTHER CLIMATE IMPACTS
WE AGREE IT SHOULD BE MORE BUT
AT LEAST SUPPORT PLEASE WHAT THE
GOVERNOR HAS PROPOSED. WE ALSO
SUPPORT THE PROPOSED FUNDING FOR
THE DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND
AGRICULTURE FOR DAIRY AND OUR
CULTURAL PROGRAMS I WON'T SPEAK
TO THE SPLIT IN THE FUNNY BUT
THAT IS A CRITICALLY NEEDED
AREA.
AND THEN FINALLY.
WE STRONGLY SUPPORT THE FUNDING
FOR BIOFUELS ALTHOUGH WE WANT TO
NOTE THAT.
IT WOULD NOT BE NEW MONEY THIS
WOULD BACK FILL A REDUCTION IN
FUNDS AT THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY
COMMISSION FROM THE EIGHTY ONE
EIGHTEEN PROGRAM.
THANK YOU.
GOTTEN CHURN MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE OUTSIDE OF THE OF THE
ON THE ON BEHALF CALIFORNIA
RELEASE.
I WOULD REALLY ENCOURAGE OUR
LAST WEEK OR SO SEEING A DOZEN
ASSEMBLY MEMBERS AND HALF A
DOZEN SENATORS REALLY EMPHASIZE
THE NEED TO INVEST OUR NATURAL
RESOURCES THROUGH EUROPE.
THEN ALSO BEEN VERY ENCOURAGED
BY THE DISCUSSION TODAY ABOUT
THE FOR THE FUNDS THAT ARE
AVAILABLE IN THAT REALLY
PROVIDES A CONTEXT BUT WE'RE
ASKING FOR THE DAY.
SO YESTERDAY.
THE BROAD COALITION OF GROUPS
HANDED OUT COPIES OF A FOUR
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR ASK.
I'M FOR NATURAL RESOURCE
INVESTMENTS FROM OVER EIGHTY
GROUPS AND THAT AND THAT LIST IS
GROWING WERE LIKE WE GET TO A
HUNDRED BY THE END OF. THE WEEK.
IT SPECIFICALLY FOR ALL THE
NATURAL RESOURCES PROGRAMS THAT
HAVE BEEN INVESTED IN BEFORE IN
PREVIOUS YEARS THAT WERE ZEROED
OUT IN THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL.
SPECIFIC URBAN FORESTRY.
AT AT CAL FIRE BERMAN GREENING
OF RESOURCES AGENCY HEALTHY
SOILS AND SWEEP AT.
SEE IF A AND THAT YOU HAD
OCCASION PROGRAM THAT TO BE C.
B. R. COSTA CONSERVANCY'S
CLIMATE READY PROGRAM.
THE COST COMMISSION BE CDC.
AND I BELIEVE I'M MISSING.
I THINK IT IS CUT FROM ALL.
THEN REALLY EMPHASIZING THAT
AND.
THE REASON WE'RE ASKING FOR THE
FOUR HUNDRED MILLION IS THAT WE
DO EXPECT THE FUND BALANCE OF AT
LEAST FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION.
AT THE END OF THE TWENTY
SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN AUCTION
CYCLE.
WHICH IS WHERE WE'RE BASING OUR
OUR ASK
AND I'M GONNA BE REASONABLE THAT
ALTHOUGH IT I KNOW THAT FOUR
HUNDRED MILLION DOES SEEM LIKE A
EMPHASIZE THAT THE PROP SIXTY
DISCUSSION WITH THE NEEDS TO BE
LOOKED AT FROM.
HOW YOU PROVIDE ELIGIBILITY FOR
THE FOR THE PROGRAMS THEMSELVES?
AND WITH AND YOUR F. WERE
TALKING ABOUT CALAMARI SCREEN
WITHIN PROP SIXTY EIGHT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT A MUCH DIFFERENT
METRIC. THAT REALLY EMPHASIZES
ON THE LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES.
SO THAT. IN IN POTENTIAL EVEN IN
SOME OF YOUR OWN DISTRICTS SOME
OF THESE PAC'S.
I'M THAT WOULD BE BENEFITING
FROM GIRAFFE MIGHT NOT BENEFIT
FROM.
.
FROM THE OTHER END AND VICE
VERSA SIMPLY WANT TO HIGHLIGHT
THAT AND THANK YOU ALL FOR
ALLOWING US THE TIME TO. TO MAKE
THESE COMMENTS.
THANK YOU WILD AT ME ON A WITH A
LOT OF ON CALIFORNIA AND
SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE
DEFENDERS OF WILDLIFE.
ONE OF THINGS THAT WE KNOW IS
THAT ARE NATURAL RESOURCES ARE
PLAY EIGHTY EIGHT CAR VITAL KEY
TO OUR COLLECTIVE IDENTITIES
CALIFORNIANS BUT THEY ALSO PLAY
A ENORMOUS ROLE. AND.
AS PART OF OUR STRATEGY TO
ADDRESS ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE
AND YOU KNOW AS THE PREVIOUS
SPEAKERS SAID YEAH WE ARE HERE
TO ASK FOR.
THAT FOUR FOUR FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLAR ASK.
WE KNOW THAT NATURAL RESOURCES
HAVE BILLIONS OF YEARS BY IN
SEQUESTERING CARBON WE DON'T
NEED TO ENGINEER THAT AND LATE
THEY BEAT WE'VE BEEN DOING
THEY'VE BEEN DOING THESE THINGS.
FOR MILLIONS OF THE OF YEARS SO
WE REALLY JUST NEED TO INVEST IN
THEM SO.
BLOOM FOR FOR THOSE REASONS WE
ASK FOR ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS TECHNIQUE.
X. PLEASE WELCOME PARENT GOOD
AFTERNOON.
MEMBERS AND STAFF.
RICO MONSTER DO NOT A WITH THE
TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND AND I OF
COURSE I AM ALSO. ALIGNED WITH
MY NATURAL RESOURCE PARTNERS IN
THIS ASK FOR FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS. I DO WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT THE URBAN GREENING
PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY IS A
PROGRAM THAT WE HELPED DESIGN
WITH THE HELP OF OTHERS.
THE TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND HAS
BEEN WORKING IN LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES IN CALIFORNIA FOR
OVER FORTY YEARS.
AND WHEN YOU THINK OF LOW INCOME
THE CORRELATION BETWEEN LOW
INCOME AND.
OR AIR QUALITY POOR WATER
QUALITY POOR ACCESS TO FOOD POOR
ACCESS TO PLACES TO PLAY IS WELL
KNOWN.
IT'S ALL SO THEY ARE THE MOST
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES TO
CLIMATE CHANGE SO WE HAVE WHAT
WE'RE GONNA SEE.
SUSTAINED HOTTER HEAT WAVES IN
THESE COMMUNITIES
OTHER GOING TO BE CATASTROPHIC
WE'RE GONNA SEE FLOODING IN
THESE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE GOING
TO BE CATASTROPHIC THE URBAN
GRINNING PROGRAM. HELPS
TO.
ATTACKED AND ABSORB WHAT.
ACCESS WATER HELP SCHOOL
COMMUNITIES HELPS CONNECT
COMMUNITIES TO HIGH.
THE DESTINATION HOT SPOTS TO GET
THEM OUT OF THEIR CARS SO
THERE'S REAL GHG BENEFITS BUT
THERE'S A REAL ADAPTATION AND
RESILIENCY BENEFITS AS WELL.
SO THERE'S A HUGE BANG FOR THE
BUCK AND WHEN YOU. YOU KNOW.
HEFT AND.
RECREATIONAL BENEFITS THE HEALTH
BENEFITS THE CLEAN AIR THE CLEAN
WATER BENEFITS IT'S OF REAL.
EFFICIENT VESTMENT SO THANK YOU.
I THINK ALL THE TIME OR BY USE
OF TWO COMMENTS MAKE THE FIRST
ON BEHALF THE SEVERED YOU KNOW
COUNTY BOARD SUPERVISORS ONE
URGES SUPPORT FOR THE HUNTER
MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE
TRANSFORMATIVE CLIMATE
COMMUNITIES PROGRAM. AND
MAINTAIN THAT PROGRAM IS CURRENT
STRUCTURE.
SECOND ON BEHALF OF THE CENTER
FOR TRANSPORTATION ENVIRONMENT
WHICH IS A NATIONWIDE NONPROFIT
THAT. FOCUSES ON DEAD THE
COMMERCIALIZATION OF MEDIUM AND
HEAVY DUTY VEHICLES.
AREA URGES SUPPORT FOR THE
MONEY FOR THE LOW CARBON
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM GOING TO
CARVE. BUT ALSO CONSIDER
INCREASING THAT FOR THE H. FOR
PROGRAM.
THAT CAN BE CRITICAL FOR TRANSIT
OPERATORS ACTUALLY MEET PAYING
GOALS FOR A ZERO EMISSION BUSES.
IN ADDITION HAD TO CONSIDER A A
FUNDING PROGRAM FOR THE
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS OF FOR THE
TRANSIT OPERATORS.
BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL YOU NEED TO
A MORE FUNDING FOR THE FEELINGS
FACILITIES ARE GOING TO BE
INSTALLED EITHER THAT'S CHARGING
OR FLOWER HYDROGEN.
BUT.
FUNDING FOR THE MAIN
DISABILITIES UPGRADES AND
WORKFORCE TRAINING FOR US TO GO
WITH THAT SO WE URGE YOUR
SUPPORT FOR THAT THINKS.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I'D ALL TOMORROW ON
BEHALF OF GLOBAL AUTO MAKERS.
WE LIKE TO THINK THE
ADMINISTRATION FOR THEIR TO HER
MILLION DOLLARS IN THE C. B. R.
P. WE APPRECIATE THAT LEVEL OF
FUNDING WE ALSO APPRECIATE THE
FACT.
THAT MOVING FORWARD THAT THIS
FUNDING IS IDENTIFIED TO RUN
THROUGH TO TUG TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE WE THINK THAT IT'S
IMPORTANT.
THAT WE HAVE A.
SUSTAINED RELIABLE SOURCE OF
FUNDING THAT MANUFACTURES THE
SELLERS OF THE VEHICLES THAT THE
PURCHASERS OF THE VEHICLES THAT
THE CONSUMERS.
PHAM CAN REST ASSURED THAT THERE
IS GOING TO BE ADEQUATE FUNDING.
FOR TO SUSTAIN THIS PROGRAM TO
READ TO REACH OUR OUR ZAP GOALS
WE WE DO BELIEVE THAT ACTUALLY.
OF THE LEGISLATURE IN THE RENT
AND THE ADMINISTRATION SHOULD
LOOK AT EVEN INCREASING BEYOND
TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.
YEAR FOR THIS PROGRAM BUT WE
APPRECIATE THAT EFFORT WE
APPRECIATE THE.
THE.
COMMITMENT THROUGH TWENTY

GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN.
BLAMES BENITO ABOUT OLSON ON
THE VICE CHAIR OF THE WITH LOW
INCOME OVERSIGHT BOARD AT THE P.
SEE WE EXIST TO ADVISE THE
COMMISSION ON VARIOUS INCOME
RATE PAIR.
ACTIVITIES INCLUDING.
SOME ACTIVITIES THAT ARE
PARALLEL TO MANY OF THE THINGS
BEFORE YOU.
I'M HERE BECAUSE AT OUR LAST
MEETING WE DID HAVE A DISCUSSION
AS IT RELATES TO THE LIE WITH
PROGRAM LOW INCOME
WEATHERIZATION.
SHE'S BEEN COMPLETELY ZEROED OUT
OF.
THIS BUDGET.
WHEN THIS ISN'T SOMETHING THAT
WE DIRECTLY OVERSEE BUT THERE
ARE CONCERNS AND UNIQUE MEASURES
AND SERVICES IT PROVIDES TO
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES AS
WELL AS LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS.
I KNOW IT IS A RELATIVELY NEW
PROGRAM IN THEIR MAVEN SINCE
JEEZ
WELL AS WITH ANY NEW PROGRAM BUT
AT THE SAME TIME.
THE DEMAND FOR THOSE SERVICES
ARE QUITE SINCERE.
AND THIS IS A UNIQUE PROGRAM
THAT PROVIDES
S. TYPES OF SERVICES TO LOW
INCOME HOUSEHOLDS IN CALIFORNIA
AND SO.
NOT. BEING AND THIS DIRECT
FIELD FOR MANY OF THESE OTHER
DECISIONS WHAT I AM AND WHAT I
AM AWARE OF IS THAT.
DEMAND FOR THIS HAS NOT GONE
AWAY SO IF THIS PROGRAM IS TO BE
COMPLETELY ZEROED OUT.
I WOULD ASK THIS COMMITTEE AS
WELL AS ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS TO
CAREFULLY CONSIDER. HOW IT IS
GOING TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE AS
IT RELATES TO SOLAR FOR LOW
INCOME HOUSEHOLDS AS IT RELATES
TO MANY THE OTHER MEASURES HERE?
THAT IS A UNIQUE SERVICE FOR
THESE PEOPLE AND SO IT'S ONE
THING TO ZERO OUT A PROGRAM IT'S
ANOTHER THING TO ZERO OUT THE
SERVICE SO WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT
HOW WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE.
THAT THAT IS NOT LOST THANKS

YOU. BLACKS.

ORGANIZATIONS AND WE ARE
PERCIPIENT?
APPLY WHAT MONEY SO THE ARMY TO
ECHO WHAT MY VICE CHAIR SAID
ABOUT THE NEED TO THE PROGRAM.
BUT I THINK IT'S MORE IMPORTANT
TO KIND OF UNDERSTAND THE
FOLLOWING.
AND THAT IS IS THAT THE REACH OF
THE PROGRAM INTO DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES ESPECIALLY AS SOME
OF THE MORE REMOTE RURAL.
HEAVILY AGRICULTURAL AND FORMER
COMMUNITIES IS SOMETHING THAT
WE'RE WORKING WITH EVERYDAY. IN
TERMS OF INSTITUTING A LIE WITH
PROGRAM WE REACH INTO THESE
COMMUNITIES AND WE TRAIN AND
CERTIFY WORKERS TO PARK HIS.
THE PROGRAM.
AND WE DO THIS THROUGH THE SD AS
WELL AS LIKE OPEN AT THE ABOUT
SO TO. ELIMINATE THE PROGRAM
DOES A COUPLE OF THINGS FIRST OF
ALL IT STOPS.
THE REALITY IS IS THAT WE DO.
WE DO HAVE WORKING EXPERIENCE
WITH THE ENERGY SAVINGS
ASSISTANCE ACCOUNT WHAT THE.
CEBU CITY AND HAVING SAID THAT
WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED TO
SORT OF A HYBRID RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE PRIVATE. AND PUBLIC
SECTOR WHEN IT COMES TO
DELIVERING SERVICES.
SO AGAIN WHEN NOT ONLY DO WE
LOSE THIS.
IT'S GOING INTO THESE NEEDY
HOUSEHOLDS
BUT WE LOSE CAPACITY WE LOSE
WORKFORCE AND WE LEAD THE LEAGUE
WE LOSE.

PUT TOGETHER PROJECTS FOR THAT
PROGRAM ACROSS THE LANDSCAPE
WITH MULTIPLE LANDOWNERS
IT'S VERY HARD TO BE DOING THAT
ON ONE YEAR APPROPRIATIONS AND
NOT HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE.
THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE FUNDING
AND FUTURE YEARS MAKES A HARD TO
ENGAGE LANDOWNERS IN THESE
CONVERSATIONS THAT THERE'S NOT
STABILITY. SO GOING BACK TO SOME
OF THE CONVERSATION YOU HAD
EARLIER IF WE CAN MOVE TO HAVING
MORE STABLE PREDICTABLE FUNDING
FOR SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS FOR
WE KNOW WE'VE A DECADE OF WORK
TO TRY AND GET OUR FORESTS AND
WATERSHEDS BACK INTO A. DECENT
CONDITION.
WE WERE TROUBLED BY THE
MINISTRATION PROPOSAL TO ZERO
OUT THE FUNDING FOR NUMBER THE
NATURAL WORKING LANDS PROGRAMS
AND THE SAID LOOK TO PROP SIXTY
EIGHT.
WE THINK THAT'S A VERY
EXPENSIVE WAY TO FUND THOSE
PROGRAMS IS REALLY PAYING ON
THOSE BOND FUNDS FOR MANY YEARS
AND I WOULD BE. MORE APPROPRIATE
TO KEEP THOSE SOME BASELINE
FUNDING IN THE GDR PROGRAM SO WE
ARE GRATIFIED SEE BOTH ON THE
ASSEMBLY SIDE THOSE THAT FORMER
MILLION DOLLAR ASKING ON THE
SENATE SIDE.
A NUMBER OF YOUR COLLEAGUES
HAVE BEEN PUTTING FORWARD A
PROPOSAL TO INVEST IN
CONSERVANCY'S WCT ETCETERA THE
IDEAS ARE LIMITLESS.
AND MY COLLEAGUES. AT THE MONEY
WE APPRECIATE. IT FULLY
APPRECIATES THE LEGISLATURE
SAYING THESE ARE IMPORTANT
VESTMENTS AND ALL CLOSE BY JUST
POINTING OUT THAT ALL OF THESE
INVESTMENTS THEM TALKING ABOUT
IN THE NATURAL LAND SECTOR. ARE
OUTSIDE OF THE CAP
SO WE KNOW WE'RE GETTING REALLY
ADDITIONAL BENEFIT FROM THAT.
THANK YOU.
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
BRENDAN TO IT ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA AIR POLLUTION CONTROL
OFFICERS ASSOCIATION I HEAR TO
HIGHLIGHT THE OMISSION OF ON
GOING AT STATE FUNDING TO
IMPLEMENT AB SIX SEVENTEEN
MISTER CHAIRMAN I APPRECIATE
YOUR QUESTIONS. RELATED TO THAT
AND I WOULD POINT OUT THAT THE
ESTIMATES FROM THE BAY AREA AIR
QUALITY MANAGEMENT.
DISTRICT ARE UP FOURTEEN AND A
HALF MILLION IN ANNUAL ON GOING
BECAUSE.
I THINK YOU'LL HEAR FROM SOUTH
COAST AIR ESTIMATING
APPROXIMATELY TWENTY FIVE
MILLION THAT'S JUST TO AIR
DISTRICTS AND I THINK OUR
ESTIMATES SHOW THAT A. IT WILL
BE ACTUAL COSTS WILL BE DWARFING
THE TWENTY SEVEN MILLION THAT
WAS IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET.
ADDITIONALLY WERE SURPRISED TO
HEAR ABOUT THAT THAT IS NOW
BEING CONSIDERED A TWO YEAR
ALLOCATION OF THAT IS NEWS TO US
UMKC AND THAT FURTHERMORE AIR
DISTRICTS HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY
OF THAT MONEY.
TODAY.
I WANTED TO POINT OUT ON THIS
SENSE LINE MONITORING ISSUE
THAT.
THE FENCE LINE MONITORING IS ONE
PART OF AB SIX SEVENTEEN THE
OTHER PART IS THAT COMMUNITY
CARE MONITORING SYSTEMS AND AIR
DISTRICTS ARE REQUIRED TO DEPLOY
THOSE SYSTEMS.
IN.
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES ARE
NEAR SENSITIVE RECEPTORS
BEGINNING JULY ONE TWENTY
NINETEEN AND THAT MEANS A BEEP
COSTS RELATED TO THE EQUIPMENT
HOW WE HAVE STAFF BECAUSE I ALSO
IS PART SIX SEVENTEEN WE HAVE
OUT YOU KNOW OUT REACH TO
COMMUNITIES. SO.
WE HAVE BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY
AND EXPENDING RESOURCES TO MAKE
A B. SIX SEVENTEEN A SUCCESS OUT
WE WANT IT TO BE A SUCCESS. BUT
IN ORDER FOR THAT TO HAPPEN
THERE HAS TO BE OPEN GOING.
STAINED FUNDING FOR
IMPLEMENTATION SO I ONE LAST
POINT AND WE STRONGLY DISAGREE
WITH DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE'S
ASSERTION OR POSITION EXCUSE ME
ON FEES AND WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO
HAVE A FURTHER CONVERSATION WITH
YOU. MISTER CHAIRMAN WHERE WE
CAN BRING OUR LAWYERS AND GET
INTO THE DTAILS OF WHY THAT S.
SO THANK YOU.
NEXT.
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS CHECK OF
LOS ON BEHALF OF SOUTH COAST AIR
QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND
AYE WILL DOES ECHO THE COMMENTS
MADE BY MR TO A AGAIN. WOULD
WELCOME A FOR THE CONVERSATION
WITH ALL OF YOU TO REALLY DIVE
INTO THIS I THINK IT'S. A MORE
NUANCED AND DETAILED THAN HOW WE

GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
RESERVE THE COMMITTEE LAURA
KNOWING HE TO COME BEHALF OF
CALIFORNIA CONGENERS AND GROWERS
ASSOCIATION WESTERN ACT
PROCESSORS ASSOCIATION IN
CALIFORNIA DAIRIES INK IN
SUPPORT.
A DAY GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL ON CAP
AND TRADE PARTICULARLY THE
CONTINUED FUNDING.
FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN THE
FOOD PROCESSING SECTOR.
RENEWABLE ENERGY THAT ARE THE
FUNDING FOR AGRICULTURAL DIESEL
AND EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLE
UPGRADES.
AND THEN ALSO WITH THE METHANE
REDUCTION THANK YOU.
THIS CHAIRMAN MEMBERS MICHAEL
BOOK OR ON BEHALF OF THE AG
ENERGY CONSUMERS ASSOCIATION THE
CALIFORNIA.
POULTRY FEDERATION ALSO IN
SUPPORT NOT ASKING FOR
ADDITIONAL DOLLARS BUT SUPPORT
FOR THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSALS FOR
AG FOOD PROCESSING. DAIRY
METHANE REDUCTION IN THE STATE
ALL SPEND A MOMENT TRYING TO
GIVE YOU A LITTLE CLARITY ON THE
SPLIT THAT CDFA BETWEEN AM.
AND GARY DIE JESTERS THAT WE
THINK CDF IS DOING A GOOD JOB
WITH THAT SPLIT. NOW THEY HAVE A
NUMBER OF A SLIDING FEE COME
GRANT AVAILABILITY THAT. TAKES
INTO CONSIDERATION DEMAND IN THE
PROGRAM.
BUT THEY'VE ALSO BASE THAT SPLIT
ON THE STATE'S ABILITY TO
ACHIEVE THE FORTY PERCENT A
METHANE REDUCTION THAT'S
REQUIRED OF THE DAIRY INDUSTRY.
UNDER MISTER LARA'S LEGISLATION
SO WE THINK THEY'RE DOING AN
EXCELLENT JOB.
CDFA SHOULD HAVE JUST SUBMITTED
A OF A REPORT TO YOU THAT THE
DOCUMENTS THE SIGNIFICANT
NOTHING REDUCTIONS ARE BEING.
ACHIEVED UNDER THE DAIRY DIED
JUST A PROGRAM AND WE SUSPECT
THAT BE SMELLING. ADDITIONAL
NUMBERS FOR THE AMP PROGRAM
WHICH JUST COMPLETED IT'S CYCLE
WE GOT A PRETTY GOOD BALLOTS
WITH EIGHTEEN DIE JESTERS FUNDED
LAST YEAR. AND SEVENTEEN
ALTERNATIVE MANURE MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM SO THERE SEEMS TO BE A
PRETTY GOOD BALANCE
OF THE PROJECTS ARE GETTING
FUNDED. THE LAST THING I'LL
LEAVE YOU WITH IS YOU KNOW I I
THINK AT SOME POINT WE NEED TO
HAVE A LARGER DISCUSSION ONE OF
THE BIG PROBLEMS WE HAVE. AND I
THINK IT'S NOT JUST TRUE FOR THE
DAIRY INDUSTRY BUT IT'S TRUE FOR
THE WASTE WATER AND OTHERS. IS
RECEIVING A FLOOD OF BIOMASS
THING COMING IN FROM OUT OF
STATE AND LOCAL URBAN FEEL
STANDARD PROGRAM AND IT'S
FLOODING OUT OPPORTUNITIES FOR
US TO DEVELOP IN STATE BY
METHANE PROJECTS.
IT'S COMING IN THERE'S VIRTUALLY
NO BENEFIT FROM THIS OUT A STATE
BY AND NOTHING TO TO THE IN
STATE EFFORTS SO WE REALLY NEED
TO BE TAKING A HARD LOOK. AT
THAT HOW THIS IS ALLOWED TO COME
IN UNDER LCF ES PROGRAM AND
OTHER PROGRAMS AND MAKE SURE
WERE FOCUSED ON IN STATE BUT I'M
NOTHING THAT'S A CRITICAL ISSUE
GOING FORWARD. FOR ALL OF US
WITH IN STATE NEEDS TO PRODUCE
BY NOTHING THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN MURS
AND ASHAMED FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF FOOD BANKS MAYBE
UNLIKELY PERSON TO BE HERE.
HOWEVER UNDER ITEM EIGHT.
THAT THE WEEKS DIVERSION AND WE
WERE DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THE
FUNDING CUT AND WOULD LIKE TO
SEE IT RAISED UP AS OTHERS HAVE
SPOKEN TO JUST FOUND. BRIEFLY
ABOUT OUR OUR ANGLE ON THIS
UNDER IS THE THIRTEEN EIGHTY
THREE AND EXITS CLINICAL IS TO
MOVE FOOD FOR MY FOR THE PEOPLE
WE SIMPLY CAN'T EXPAND OUR
OPERATIONS WERE ARE DO YOU VERY.
YOU KNOW LEAN NON PROFITS AND

THINK THAT MORE FUNDING IS
PRETTY.
GOOD AFTERNOON NOW.
CHAIR AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND

A MINUTES BRIAN SHOW THEM THE
CALIFORNIA CLIMATE AGRICULTURE
NETWORK WHERE COALITION OF SEVEN
SUSTAINABLE ORGANIC AGRICULTURE
STATIONS IN THE STATE.
WERE SUPPORTING THE FOUR
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR PROPOSAL
REFERRED TO IN THE ASSEMBLY.
TO RESTORE FUNDING TO A NUMBER
OF NATURAL RESOURCES PROGRAMS
INCLUDING THE HEALTHY SOILS AND
SWEET PROGRAMS WHICH
WERE NOT INCLUDED AND IN LAST

A BUCKET OF FUNDING.
I'M THESE THAT TO PROGRAMS I

SIMULTANEOUSLY HELP FARMERS
MITIGATE AND ADAPT.
TO CLIMATE CHANGE.
I WANT TO THANK SENATOR STERN

AND. THOSE TWO PROGRAMS ARE
ALREADY IN HIGH DEMANDS AND
THANKS TO SEVEN HUNDRED PROJECTS
ON THE GROUND INCLUDING.
TWENTY WO HEALTHY SOILS
DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS AND
EIGHTEEN COUNTIES.

INCREASE SO WE WOULDN'T WANT TO
CUT THE MOMENTUM SHORT. WITH
BACK TO BACK OF FUNDING CUTS.
AND THEN LET'S SEE SOME
QUESTIONS RAISED AROUND AND I.
VERSES STATE I JUST YEARS WE'VE
PREVIOUSLY ADVOCATED FOR AND
FUNDING.
