I CASTING BY. NIELSEN.
MCGUIRE.
DURING.
WILL KEEP THAT BETTER OPEN FOR
THAT'S MEMBERS THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME THIS MORNING. LET'S
CALL UP THE DEPARTMENT OF ABOUT
RESOURCE RECYCLING IN RECOVERY.
WE HAVE ONE MATTER JUST AS ITEM
NUMBER FORTY SEVEN.
S. B. OF FOUR FIFTY EIGHT.
WHEN OUR.
PILOT PROJECT FOUR. LOCATIONS.
THE MORNING. A. DIRECTOR
SMITHKLINE MORNING MISTER CHAIR.
MY NAME IS SCOTT SMITH ONE OF
THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF RESOURCES RECYCLING AND
RECOVERY.
THAT. IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT
THE WISH OF THE COMMITTEE IS A
TERM FOR ME TO FOCUS COMMENTS ON.
THE IMPLEMENTATION STATUS OF ITS
BEFORE FIFTY EIGHT.
I JUST FOR THE RECORD THE
DEPARTMENT OF RESOURCES
RECYCLING RECOVERY REQUESTS
TO LEARN SIXTEEN THOUSAND. AND
BEVERAGE CONTAINER RECYCLING
FUND FROM THE BEVERAGE CONTAINER
RECYCLING FUND IMPLEMENTED A SP
FOUR FIFTY EIGHT.
THROUGH ITS SUNSET ON JANUARY
ONE TWENTY TWENTY TWO.
AS BEFORE FIFTY EIGHT ALLOWS
COVER CYCLE TO PREVENT THE FIVE.
UP RECYCLING PILOT PROJECTS
DESIGNED TO PROVE CONSUMER
REDEMPTION OPPORTUNITIES
FOR BEVERAGE CONTAINERS AND
UNSERVED CONVENIENCE ZONES.
BUT BEFORE FIFTY REQUIRED COVER
CYCLE TO HOLD AT LEAST ONE
PUBLIC WORKSHOP.
TODAY WE'VE HELD TO PUBLIC
WORKSHOPS AND WE ARE CURRENTLY
IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING
REGULATIONS TO IMPLEMENT THIS
BEFORE FIFTY EIGHT.
THE REPUBLIC WORKSHOPS AND
CONVERSATIONS WITH COMMITTEE
STAFF. THAT WE HAVE BECOME AWARE
OF CONCERNS. THAT THE DEPARTMENT
IS IMPLEMENTING AS BEFORE FIFTY
EIGHT IN A WAY THAT WOULD.
LIMIT FLEXIBILITY OF THE
RECYCLING PILOT PROJECTS.
SPECIFICALLY.
POTENTIAL RECYCLING PROJECT
OPERATORS LIKE TO BE A TO REDEEM
BEVERAGE CONTAINERS OUTSIDE OF
CONVENIENCE OUNCE.
WELL AS BEFORE FIFTY EIGHT
PROVIDES THE DEPARTMENT WITH THE
FLEXIBILITY TO ALLOW FOR
INNOVATION.
WITH INCONVENIENCE OUNCE.
THE STATUTE DOES NOT EXTEND THAT
FLEXIBILITY. TO ALLOW FOR THE
OPERATION OF A PILOT PROJECT
OUTSIDE A CONVENIENCE ON.
THE STATUTE IS CLEAR ON THIS
ISSUE THAT STATES IN PART.
A PILOT PROJECT SHALL NOT
ESTABLISH A LOCATION.
FOR REDEEMING A BEVERAGE
CONTAINER FOR ITS REFUND VALUE.
THAT IS OUTSIDE OF A CONVENIENCE
ON.
WE MUST OF COURSE WORK WITHIN
THE CONFINES OF THE STATUTE.
CURRENTLY CAL RECYCLES CONTINUE
TO DEVELOP EMERGENCY REGULATIONS.
DIPLOMATS BEFORE FIFTY EIGHT AND
WE HAVE A TARGET.
OF ADOPTING REGULATIONS BY JUNE
OF THIS YEAR.
HUNDREDS AT WORK IS IT YOU GET A
RECEIPT THAT WHEN YOU YOU BRING
IT AND YOU GET A DEBIT CARD. A
I'M WONDERING YOU MEAN IT IT
SEEMS.
PEOPLE ACROSS ALL THESE LINES WE
HAVE THESE ARBITRARY CONVICT.
WHO WOULD KNOW WHERE THE
CONVENIENCE ON AND SOME WEEKENDS
BUT PUT THAT ASIDE HOW THIS
COULD PRACTICALLY HAVE WORKED
AND I GET A RECEIPT IN AND I
NEED TO BE WITHIN THAT SOUND TO?
CASH OUT AS I GO INTO THE SAFE
WAY AND.
IT FOOD WILL HAVE NOT.
I'M SHOWING MY IGNORANCE I'M NOT
REALLY SURE HOW THE ACTION
SENATOR.
JUST TO BE CLEAR THE THE
CONVENIENCE ON HIS A HALF MILE
RADIUS AROUND THE SUPERMARKET.
THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF A
CONVENIENCE OUT.
THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY THAT
BEVERAGE CONTAINERS ARE REDEEMED
RIGHT NOW PER EXISTING LAW.
CASH IS PAID BACK.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT FORMS OF
VOUCHERS THAT ARE PROVIDED THAT
CAN EITHER BE.
USED THEIR GENERALLY USED.
.
FOR IN STORE THAT IS LOCATED IN
THE PARKING LOT WHERE THE
RECYCLING CENTERS.
OKAY.
I SENATOR.
MCGUIRE.
THINK SWITCHES TO CHAIR DO
APPRECIATE.
OF ITEMS AS WELL AS I THINK YOU
DO THAT. A PROJECTOR.
FOR A NUMBER ONE IS UPON THIS IS
NOT ON THE AGENDA TODAY BUT
AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR WORK ON
BEHALF OF CLEAN UP. CAT RECYCLES
BEEN DOING OVER THE PAST MANY
YEARS SINCE TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN
FOR AWHILE EMPIRE JUST WANTED
HIM TO SAY THANK YOU TO YOU. AND
YOUR TEAM AS YOU ARE OUT WITHIN
THE DIVISION SMALL BUT MIGHTY
AND I HAVE TAKEN A LOT
DISAPPOINTED MONTHS I THINK YOU.
SMITH AND FOR ALL YOUR WORK UP
THERE ON BE ON BEHALF OF THE D.
MAKE OUR CYCLE WE APPRECIATE
THOSE COMMENTS YOU KNOW IT'S
IT'S. WELL DSERVED AND WOULD
LIKE THAT I JUST TALK ABOUT THE
PIE THE PROJECT THE FIVE
RECYCLING A PILOT PROJECTS THAT
YOU'RE LOOKING AT HAVE YOU MADE
A DECISION ON WHERE THOSE BY THE
PARTIES CAN BE LOCATED.
WE WE HAVE NOT MADE ANY
DECISIONS WE'VE NOT EVEN THOUGH
FINALIZED THE RAGS SO WE HAVE
HAD.
AS I SAID TO WORKSHOPS WHERE WE
HAVE ENGAGE WITH SAY BECAUSE
YOU'RE TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW
WE CAN BEST ACCOMMODATE.
THOSE WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED
THE POTENTIAL PILOT PROJECT
OPERATORS BUT WE'VE NOT MADE
DECISIONS ON WHERE THEY WOULD BE.
IN ANY INTERESTS OUTSIDE OF A
TYPICAL URBAN CORRIDOR.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT'S
BEEN LIGHT.
INTEREST HAS BEEN PRIMARILY
FROM
THE.
THE URBAN CORRIDOR AS HE PUT IT.
I THINK BY I CAN'T I'M SORRY
I'M A BILL TO CONFIRM THIS FREE
BUT I DO BELIEVE THERE MAY HAVE
BEEN SOME INTEREST IN THE HAS
STARTED A CONVERSATION. WITH A
POTENTIAL RECYCLING PILOT
PROJECT OPERATOR IN DON'T NORTH.
AND THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I
BRING THAT FORWARD. IN MR SMITH
FIND IT'S BEEN LIVING THE DREAM
WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE HE STARTED.
AND I KNOW THAT WE CONTINUE
LIVE THE DREAM WITHOUT A FINAL
FIX FOR.
RECYCLING IN THIS STATE WE HAVE
MANY COUNTIES ESPECIALLY RURAL
THAT. GUY EVEN IF AND.
WE ME NOT EVEN HAVE CURBSIDE ARE
AND THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A
RECYCLING CENTER AYE THAT WOULD
EXIST FOR THEM. A SOME THAT HAVE
CURBSIDE BUT THE MAJORITY
RESIDENTS LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE
CITY THAT CAN'T RECYCLE IN
THAT'S WHY* ON ALL ISSUES I
KNOW THAT YOU'RE ON IT BUT I'M
IN DELAWARE COUNTY IS VERY
INTERESTED. OKAY ON THAT THAT
ITEMS SO SENATOR THAT THIS
STATUTE.
DOES PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
THE DEPARTMENT TO PRIORITIZE.
A PILOT PROJECT IN RURAL AREAS
SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE
WILL STAY TUNED TO.
ALL I WOULD SAY THIS BE MY FINAL.
IS AT LEAST ONE OF THE FIVE
WOULD BE WITHIN A RURAL
COMMUNITY IN THIS STATE AYE AS
THEY HAVE BEEN SUFFERING THE
LONGEST OUT WITHOUT CANDIDLY
MOST WITHOUT A RECYCLING CENTER.
FOR NOW OVER TWO AND A HALF
YEARS WE'D WE SHARE AN INTEREST
IN HAVING A VIABLE OPTION IN THE
RURAL AREAS SENATOR
THAT'S GREAT THANK YOU SO MUCH
DISTRICT.
CENTER NIELSEN.
THAT TO AND IN THE SEARCH SO DEL
NORTE HAS TO ADVOCATES HERE
BECAUSE I USED TO REPRESENT DEL
NORD. UP AND A LOT OF RURAL
COUNTY SO PLEASE KEEP THAT IN
MIND YES SIR THEIR PROBLEMS.
DE YOU RELATIVELY. A COULD BE
EQUAL TO MORE CONCENTRATED URBAN
AREAS.
* ONE THING YOU DON'T HAVE TO
BE A CITY AND THE COUNTY TO BE
ELIGIBLE.
LET'S JUST STEP UP FOR EVERYBODY
THEMATIC.
LET'S OPEN UP THE PUBLIC
HEARING WE HAVE ITEM ISSUE
NUMBER FORTY SEVEN THIS IS
IMPROVING THE RECYCLING
REDEMPTION.
KENNEDY SAYS
SET FORTH IN SP FOUR FIVE EIGHT.
CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING BRING
IT BACK TO THE DAIS.
LIKE MOST THERE'S A MOTION BY
SEVEN REQUIRE THIS IS TO US.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION PREVIOUS
BUDGET PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
WIECKOWSKI.
NIELSEN AYE. REQUIRE.
STERN.
THANK YOU A DIRECTOR I'M LET'S
CALL UP NOW.
THE BEEKEEPER NO WE WANT TO
CALL UP THE DEPARTMENT OF FOOD
AND AGRICULTURE FOR TO SAY TO
CALIFORNIA. THIS SUSPICION.
SECRETARY ROSS THANK YOU FOR
WAITING.
AYE KNOW MORE ABOUT THE SAFETY
AND.
.
BEEF FAT.
BUT PLEASE THIS IS A.
THE SAFE PROGRAM YEAH THANK YOU
VERY MUCH UP AGAIN I'M KAREN
ROSS AND SECRETARY THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FOOD
AND AGRICULTURE. I'M AND I JUST
WANNA COMPLEMENT YOUR STAFF YOUR
ANALYSIS IS SO THOROUGH I'M
WONDERING WHAT I'M REALLY DOING
HERE BUT I DO WANT TO BE
AVAILABLE TO.
I'M SAID THE FIRST ITEM I'M
GOING TO RUN THROUGH THIS
MORNING IS OUR AS OUR PROPOSED
BE SAFE PROGRAM. ON IT'S NO
SECRET THAT CALIFORNIA WITH THE
DIVERSITY AND BOUNTEOUS
SPECIALTY CROPS THAT WE HAVE IS
ESPECIALLY INTERESTED IN HAVING
HEALTHY HEALTHY PEAK.
AND FATHER POLLINATORS.
SO THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT'S
REALLY TAILORED TO HELP US DO
THAT.
THE PROPOSAL REQUESTS ONE
MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY
THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS. AT FROM
THE GENERAL FUND AND TWO
POSITIONS THAT WOULD BE ONGOING
TO DEVELOP AND MANAGE A BE SAFE
PROGRAM. SUPPORT TO NOTE THAT
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THIS
FUNDING WOULD BE DESIGNED TO GO
OUT TO THE COUNTY SO THAT THE
LOCAL WORK. COULD BE DONE
THROUGH COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS
AND WORK PLANS.
BOB WE HAVE A CHALLENGE IN THE
STATE YOU'VE ALREADY MENTIONED
ONE OF THEM. EIGHT WE NEED OVER
A MILLION HIVES ON AN ANNUAL
BASIS FOR THE WORLD'S LARGEST
POLLINATOR PROJECT DURING
COLEMAN BLOOM. AND THE VAST
MAJORITY OVER HALF OF THEM HAVE
TO COME IN FROM OTHER STATES WE
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH IN OUR STATE.
SO WE'VE HAD A REGISTRATION
PROGRAM BUT THAT'S THAT'S NOT
BEEN FUNDED TO THE EXTENT THAT
IT'S NECESSARY TO BE ABLE TO
pHELP THE BEE KEEPERS AS WELL AS
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. WOULD
HELP THE BEE KEEPERS SO THAT AS
WE HAVE REGISTRATION INFORMATION
WE CAN DO OUTREACH TO THE BEE
KEEPERS. AND HOPEFULLY HELP THEM
FIND GOOD SAFE HEALTHY FOREACH
OPPORTUNITIES BECAUSE DECLINING
NUTRITION AND NOT HAVING FOR ITS
OPPORTUNITIES IS ONE OF THE
CONTRIBUTORS TO THAT DECLINE AT
THE P. HEALTH. IT WOULD ALSO
HELP US IN PREVENTING THEFT
WHEN THEY ARE JUST DECIDED OUT
THERE AND THEY'RE NOT REGISTERED
IT'S VERY CHALLENGING TO BE ABLE
TO STOP THE AFT OR TO BE ABLE TO
DO ANY KIND OF FOLLOW UP WITH
THAT.
AND LASTLY WE ALSO KNOW THAT
EXPOSURE TO PESTICIDES ALSO
CONTRIBUTES TO THE DECLINE OF
THE HEALTH. AND BY HAVING THEM
REGISTERED. WE CAN HELP WITH THE
NOTIFICATION BY MAKING SURE
THEY'RE NOT PLACED IN AN AREA
WHERE THERE IS ALREADY AND
NOTICED PESTICIDE APPLICATION.
SO WE THINK THIS PROGRAM WOULD
BE VERY HELPFUL FOR THE HEALTH
OF THE BEES AS WELL AS FOR THE
HEALTH OF AGRICULTURE I'M I'M
TRYING TO. UNDERSTAND YOU KNOW
WE'RE WORKING WITH THE COUNTY
SAN I'M SURE THAT'S EITHER THEY
SHERIFF'S OFFICER YOU KNOW
NORMALLY THE TRADITIONAL MODEL
HAS BEEN SOMEBODY COMMITS THE
CRIME AND IN. THE POLICE IN THE
SHARE OF GO IN AND INVESTIGATE
IT AND THERE'S PUNISHMENT THIS
IS A PERFECT IN XIN PROGRAM.
FOR THESE PEOPLE THERE PILFERING
HIVES AND AND. AND I THE PIECE
RIGHT THERE AND I ASSUME THAT
THEY TAKE THE BEAST AND THEY.
POLLINATE SOMEBODY ST MEAN
THEY'RE MAKING MONEY OFF IT THE
NOT JUST
TAKEN THE SAME I GOT THE BEES.
SO HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU STOP IT
BEFORE IT HAPPENED.
WHEN I DID I SEE THE
REGISTRATION IS WE KNOW WHAT IT
IS SO WHEN I COME THE POLLINATE
I HAVE TO SHOW THAT I'M
REGISTERED IN. YEAH IT SO I
THOUGHT THAT THE WHOLE BE
PROGRAM REQUIRES A LOT OF
PARTNERSHIPS IS A PARTNERSHIP
BETWEEN THE LANDOWNER. WHO'S
BRINGING HEIGHTS IN AND DOING
THE CONTRACT WITH SAGEM MAKING
SURE THAT THEY'RE WORKING WITH
SOMEONE WHO IS REGISTERED WITH
THE STATE. IF WE HAVE A GOOD
ROBUST PROGRAM A PLACE THE
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COUNTY
AGRICULTURAL COMMISSIONERS ARE
ACTUALLY THE ONES THAT WOULD BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ENFORCING DESK.
AND IT AND IT'S A PARTNERSHIP
WITH THE BEEKEEPERS THEMSELVES
AND THAT'S BEEN ONE OF OUR
BIGGEST CHALLENGES LAST YEAR WE
HAD OVER SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY
THOUSAND HIGHEST. ARRIVING INTO
THE STATE AND THEY ARE AND MANY
MANY OTHER STATES THEY ARE MANY
SMALL VERY INDEPENDENT AND I
WANT TO STRESS INDEPENDENT. OF
BUSINESS OWNERS.
.
WHO ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO
ORGANIZE THAT AN EXAMPLE OF THAT
IS TAT ABOUT FIVE OR SIX YEARS
AGO THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO
DESIGN? A MARKETING ORDER
PROGRAMS THAT THEY WOULD ASSESS
THEMSELVES SPECIFICALLY FOR
RESEARCH TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE
HEALTH ISSUES THAT THEY HAVE AND
BECAUSE SO MANY OF THE PEOPLE
WHO WOULD BE IMPACTED WERE OUT
OF STATE IT WAS JUST. THAT
THEY'RE JUST VERY DIFFICULT TO
REACH AND TO ORGANIZE SO.
REQUIRING REGISTRATION WITH A
MECHANISM TO ENFORCE
REGISTRATION AT THE COUNTY LEVEL
SO THAT AS WE FIND HIKES THAT
ARE NOT REGISTERED. GIVES US
THAT MECHANISM TO START TO DO
THAT KIND OF ABOUT IT BECAUSE I
CAN JUST THINK OF THIS AMMON
GROVE THAT NEEDS TO HAVE IT'S
TIME WE NEED TO HAVE TO BE
EASTER THE BEAST GUY. BE.
KEEPERS THERE WAS AT THAT LINE
FROM ELIWALLACH YOU KNOW WE
KNOW GOTTA STICK IN BATCHES SOON
AND TING TO SAY IT IN SO YOU
DON'T WANT US WERE GONE. WHICH
IS WHITAKER BEES AND GO
SOMEPLACE ELSE AND AND WHAT IS
SEE THAT.
A PERSON IN NEED OF POLLINATION.
OR THE BIRD THEIR VICTORY
SYDNEY TO POLLINATION. OCCURS.
.
QUESTION SENATOR JANET. ALSO
BUZZ ON ITEM ADDITIONAL MADE
MAYBE A SERVICE ALL ABUZZ. AND
AND WILL TAKE STAYING OUT OF.
THE.
DE ALSO. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF
DESTRUCTION OF HIVES AS WELL.
NOW. IF THE PILFERING THAT'S
JUST A PART OF RURAL CRIME AND
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF IT FOREVER
AND BUT SOMETIMES I JUST WANT
AND DESTRUCTION.
AND ALSO IN A IN A YEAR LIKE
LAST YEAR.
I'VE WATCHED A LOT OF HIVES JUST
WHOOSH DOWN THE RIVERS.
THE FEATHER IN THE SACRAMENTO
RIVER. WE LOST A LOT OF LAND AND
THE RANGE IN THE FLOODS IN THE
CIRCUMSTANCES WITH THE WITH THE
OROVILLE.
AND THE IT IS UNKNOWN ONGOING
CHALLENGE FOR US DE.
COULD WE CONSIDER A CONTINUOUS
APPROPRIATION IS THAT WHAT YOU
WOULD PREFER.
WE WE BELIEVE THAT THAT THE
GENERAL FUND IS THE APPROPRIATE
FUNDING SOURCE WITH THIS BECAUSE
OF THE HUGE PUBLIC BENEFIT. THAT
COMES FROM HAVING HEALTHY
HEALTHY BEES WHICH THEM PROVIDE
AS THE SECURE FOOD SUPPLY SO WE
DO BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE ONGOING
FUNDING AND I WOULD ARGUE FOR
THAT AND I WILL ALSO JUST LASTLY
NOTE AT THE OUT OF STATE. AND WE
HAVE TO RELY ON THAT.
HOWEVER.
ONE OF THE GREAT CONCERNS THAT
WE'VE HAD AND PROBLEMS
INTRODUCED HAS BEEN DISEASE
COMING AND WOOD THESE BABIES
FROM OTHER STATES WHAT WE. DO
NOT KNOW THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND
SOME PEOPLE'S. THE DIRECTOR HAS
SAID. PLAY A LITTLE BIT LOOSE
WITH THE RULES SO THAT TO
PROTECT OUR INDUSTRY WE'VE WE'VE
GOT TO BE CAREFUL TO FM AND I
JUST FOR BACKGROUND INFORMATION.
ON THIS IS WHERE ARE OUR SIXTEEN
BORDER STATIONS ARE ESPECIALLY
VALUABLE BECAUSE WE DO INSPECT
THE HIVES WE ALSO HAVE
COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS WITH MY
COLLEAGUES ACROSS
THE COUNTRY TO DO. PRECLEARANCE
INSPECTIONS BUT UNFORTUNATELY
SOMETIMES BOTH ARE NOT EFFECTIVE
AND WE WILL STOP THE HIDES
INSPECT THEM IF THEY'RE DIRTY WE
SEND THEM TOOK THE CLEANING
STATION THERE ARE SERVICES THAT
ARE PROVIDED IN PROXIMITY.
TO BE ABLE TO CLEAN THEM UP
BEFORE WE ALLOW THEM IN THE
STATE SO IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT
PROGRAM IT REQUIRES A LOT OF
COOPERATION BUT. IT'S FOR THE
BEST INTERESTS OF CALIFORNIA FOR
NATURAL RESOURCES AS WELL AS FOR.
A OUR OUR AGRICULTURAL CROPS
PUTS A CALL ON THE ALLEY OWN SEE
IF SWEET NEPTIS DISCUSSION. OF
THIS ISSUE PERMITS.
TO BYPASS IT. AND. THAT WE'RE
RECOMMENDING THAT YOU APPROVE
THE I'VE FUNDING FOR ONE YEAR TO
STYLISH THE BE SAFE PROGRAM
GINGER THE HEALTHY CALIFORNIA'S
BE POPULATION. AND IT WOULD JUST
RECOMMEND A LEGISLATURE CONSIDER
ITS OPTIONS REGARDING HOW TO
FUND TO BE SAFE PROGRAM ON AN
ONGOING BASIS AND WE DO BELIEVE
IT'S APPROPRIATE TO USE GENERAL
FUND BECAUSE THERE IS A BROAD.
PUBLIC BENEFIT TO THE HAVING
THESE BEES POLLINATE BOTH OUR
AGRICULTURAL CROPS AND ALSO
ORNAMENTAL PLANTS AND GARDENS
AROUND PEOPLE'S HOUSES.
BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT THAT THE
REGULATED BEE KEEPERS OF THE
ONES HERE PRIMARILY GOING TO BE
THE ONES WHO BENEFIT FROM THIS
PROGRAM. SO IT'S ULTIMATELY A
POLICY DECISION FOR THE
LEGISLATURE WHETHER YOU WANT TO
FUND THIS WITH GENERAL FUND WITH
FEE REVENUES OR WITH A MIX OF
GENERAL FUND IN FEE REVENUS. SO
WE'RE RECOMMENDING A ONE YEAR
GENERAL FUND APPROPRIATION AND
THAT THE LEGISLATURE ADOPT
BUDGET BILL LANGUAGE TO REQUIRE
THAT DEPARTMENT REPORT ON ANNUAL
REVENUES COLLECTED BY COUNTIES.
UNDER THE CURRENT APIARY
REGISTRATION FEE COUNTY COST TO
ADMINISTER THE AP AREA
REGISTRATION PROGRAM AND OPTIONS
TO LINE FEE REVENUES WITH COUNTY
COST RESPONSIBILITIES.
IF SOMETHING AT FINANCE. AT THIS
SITE KID HOW DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE.
WE JUST KNOW THAT THIS PROPOSAL
ON BECAUSE IT PROVIDES A BROAD
PUBLIC BENEFIT THAT IT'S
APPROPRIATE TO FUND WITH GENERAL
FUND ON AN ONGOING BASIS. SO WE
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE PROPOSAL
AS REQUESTED.
IN ADDITION WE KNOW THAT THE
ALIENS RECOMMENDATION FOR ONE
YEAR FUNDING.
COULD.
POSE PROBLEMS FOR THE
DEPARTMENT IN FILLING THE
POSITIONS ALTHOUGH THE STAFF
RECOMMENDATION AND THE AGENDA
DOES NOT SEEM TO ADDRESS THIS.
TIME AND FOR FURTHER A WE HAVE
CONCERNS WITH THE.
TIMELINE FOR THE REPORTING
REQUIREMENT THAT IT MAY BE
INSUFFICIENT.
FOR THE DEPARTMENT TO BE ABLE
TO GATHER MEANINGFUL DATA TO A
FOR INFORMED DECISIONS. AND
SINCE THE FUNDING FOR
ENFORCEMENT AND COMPLIANCE IS
WHAT'S GOING TO ENABLE.
THAT THAT MEANINGFUL DATA TO BE
COLLECTED AND IT COULD TAKE
SOMETIME TO IMPLEMENT.
OKAY LET'S OPEN UP THE PUBLIC
HEARING OTHER MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC HERE AND FISHING NUMBER
FORTY EIGHT.
THIS IS.
AND BE SAFE.
NOT THAT THEY'RE WALKING NOT
MAGISTAD SOMETHING BUT PLEASE
STEPS NOT DIRECTLY BEFORE US BUT
IT REALLY IS.
BORDER STATIONS THEY ARE
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
WERE SEVERAL YEARS AGO WE HAD TO
SHUT THOSE DOWN WITH THE BUDGET.
BUT PEOPLE DO IT TO THE NOTE
BRINGING IN THESE HIGH MANY
OTHER THINGS CAN BE INTRODUCED
BUT.
THE BORDER INSPECTION IS REALLY
IMPORTANT GET TO BLIGHT NECKS.
PLEASE
THE FIRST HOLLY FOR MANY WITH
WHITE HOUSE PUBLIC AFFAIRS ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE
BEEKEEPERS ASSOCIATION AND WE
ARE EXTREMELY SUPPORTIVE. OF
THIS BE CP AND THAT A PROPOSAL
FOR TO BE CONTINUOUS
APPROPRIATIONS AND STAFFING WILL
BE HIRED AND WE HOPE THIS IS A
PROGRAM. THAT WILL GO ON FOREVER.
AS SOME OF YOU KNOW WE ALSO
PROPOSING AN ADDITIONAL
AUGMENTATION OF ANOTHER ONE
POINT ONE POINT TWO MILLION WE
THINK THAT THE PROGRAM IS TO BE
MORE ROBUST THAN AS PROPOSED TO
NOT JUST BE FOCUSED ON THE
REGISTRATION. AND THE LOCATIONS
BUT ALSO BE MORE COMPREHENSIVE
I'M SENATOR NELSON IS RIGHT THE
BORDER STATIONS ESPECIALLY
DURING PEAK SEASON WHEN THEY'RE
COMING IN DURING ALMOND BLOOM.
YEAR AFTER YEAR FOR THE LAST
SEVEN YEARS IN WORKING WITH THE
SECRETARY AND THE PREVIOUS
SECRETARIES I'M TRYING TO.
EXPEDITE THE INSPECTIONS NOT
AVOID OR CIRCUMVENT THE BUT
EXPECT INSPECTIONS BUT IT'S
ALWAYS BEEN CITED TO US THE
FUNDING HAS BEEN A CONCERNS THAT
WE'RE DELIGHTED AN OPTIMISTIC.
THAT THIS.
WILL BE CONTINUES PREPARATION
BECAUSE IT'S A CONTINUOUS
PROBLEM EVERY FEBRUARY THAT JUST
KEEPS GETTING WORSE ALSO I'M
HIGH THEFT IS STILL AT ITS PEAK
WE'VE HAD MULTIPLE LEGISLATIONS
OVER THE YEARS. ALSO THAT YOU
THE PAST AND EMBRACE TO INCREASE
BEFORE IT AND ACCESS TO PUBLIC
LANDS HAVING THIS PROGRAM AND
STAFF ON BOARD WE HOPE THAT IT
WILL BE A WORKABLE. PROGRAM AND
NOT JUST AN IDEA THAT'S ON THE
BOOKS BUT ONE THAT WE CAN
ACTUALLY BE. EFFECTIVE IN
ACTUALLY UTILIZE SO AGAIN WE
SUPPORT THIS BCP BUT WE HOPE IT
WILL BE MORE ROBUST HAVE MORE
MONEY THAT SOME OF THESE OTHER
ISSUES CAN ALSO BE ADDRESS OVER
THE FUTURE YEARS THANK YOU.
THAT A CELL BEYOND HE'LL BE
HEALTHY ON THE ALLIANCE WE ALSO
SUPPORT. THE BCP AND OUR GUY CO
SPONSORING THE AUGMENTATION.
HAS.
HOLLY MENTIONED EARLIER THIS
YEAR THERE THE SENATE HELD
INFORMATION HEARING AND OTHER
BITS OVERSTATE COLDER GROUPS.
WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT TO
TO COME UP WITH VARIOUS IDEAS
OVER THE YEARS ON HOW TO MAKE
THE FLOW OF BEES. WORK BETTER
ALSO THE RURAL CRIMES ALSO EVEN
GENETIC TESTING IN SOME OTHER
AREAS.
THAT THAT HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT OF
THIS EXIST THAT EXISTING BCP SO
WE WOULD SUPPORT. THIS BUT ALSO
I ENCOURAGE ADDED ON TO THE
AUGMENTATION WE PROVIDED. THE
INFORMATION THE STAFF AND.
WE SUPPORT THANK YOU.
MISTER SHARON MEMBERS TRICIA
GERINGER WITH AGRICULTURAL
COUNCIL OF CALIFORNIA ALSO
STRONGLY IN SUPPORT AS THE FAA'S.
I BUDGET REQUESTS AND ALSO THE
AUGMENTATION THAT'S BEEN
MENTIONED BY THE PREVIOUS TWO
SPEAKERS THINK.
PAUL TOWERS ON HAVE A BE SMART
CALIFORNIA AND BEGAN OUR
PESTICIDE ACTION NETWORK AND
MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS. I
THINK WE HAVE A DIFFERENT
PERSPECTIVE ON THE ISSUE AND
THAT WE AGREE WITH THE INTENT OF
A PC PROGRAM BUT DISAGREE WITH
HOW IT'S BEING ARTICULATED HERE.
A SOME OF THE CHALLENGES OF THE
WAY THAT PESTICIDES ARE
CURRENTLY APPLIED IN
AGRICULTURAL FIELDS POSE A
THREAT TO BOTH MANAGED HONEY
BEES AND ATE A POLLINATORS. AND
THE CURRENT PROPOSAL DOES VERY
LITTLE IN PARTICULAR TO PROTECT
NATIVE POLLINATORS THAT ARE
INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT
AGRICULTURE AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
SO WE WE HOPE THAT ANY PROPOSALS
WE LOOK FORWARD LOOKS TOWARDS
ACTUALLY FORAGE AND OR FOOD FOR
DIS ON FARM ON SITES LOOKS FOR
WAYS TO BOLSTER THOSE
POPULATIONS. AND LOOKS FOR WAYS
TO DIMINISH AND REDUCE THE
PROBLEMS FROM THE PERSISTENCE OF
PASS IT AYE PESTICIDES AS WELL
AS PAST SIGHT DRAFT. PICKS.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION LARA
NAY NO AND HEY JAKE ON BEHALF OF
WESTERN ON PROCESSORS
ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT OF THE
BCP. WHIPPING THIS IS A GOOD
STEP FORWARD AND KNOWING WHERE
THESE BIZARRE AND ENSURING THEIR
CONTINUED HEALTH THINK YOU.
OKAY SO EVERYBODY EVERYBODY'S
CLAIRE DIFFERENT THE STAFF
REPORT TO STAFF IS SORT OF.
IT ATTEMPTING TO SPLIT THE BABY
AND SAY WILL HAVE A CONTINUOUS
APPROPRIATION FOR THE TWO PEOPLE
THAT WILL BE DOING THIS WORK
FULL JUST TO A ONE YEAR ON THE.
ONE POINT FIVE FIVE MILLION FOR
THE PROGRAM.
WE'VE HEARD THE.
THE REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL
FUNDS WE'RE GOING TO HOLD IT
KEEP THE MATTER OPEN AND THE.
AND.
POLICE.
CENTER STERN.
THANK YOU. FOR
OR THAT HIS WERE WRAPPED UP HERE
I DID WANT TO DIG INTO THE ISSUE
IS A LITTLE MORE ABOUT FORGING
OPPORTUNITIES.
JUST.
EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO THESE
BORDER STATIONS WHICH I I CONCUR
WITH.
CENTER NIELSEN ON THAT AND OURS
COUNTY AYE COMMISSIONERS ARE
STRETCHED AS IT IS SO RELYING ON
THEM AT THE BACK END TO BE THE
COPS ON THE STREET. I JUST IT'S
IT'S GONNA BE TOUGH RIGHT ONCE
THEY'RE IN THERE AND BUT.
WE'VE WE'VE PUT LEGISLATION TO
YOU ALL AND WHAT TWENTY FIFTEEN
ON IN FINANCING FORGING
OPPORTUNITIES
I DON'T GET A SENSE OF
IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT. BEFORE
VOTING ON HER AGAIN OR NOT
VOTING TODAY GONNA HOLD IT OPEN
WHAT. IT WHAT WE GOT HERE JUST
JUST AS SENSITIVE
GOOD PROGRESS BEING MADE ON
ENHANCING FOURTEEN AFTER IS IT
ALSO ENFORCEMENT ON THE
NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS WE'VE
NOW GOT. IN TERMS OF.
IF THERE ARE LOCAL AVIARIES ARE
HIDES IN THE AREA THAT
REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE BEING MADE
HOW MUCH OF YOU ACTUALLY BEEN
ENFORCING.
I THINK HERE'S A ITS IT SHOWING
DP ARE CDFA REGULATION ABOUT.
ANY PEST SIDE LABEL TOXIC
DEBBIE'S IT IT ITEM BLOSSOMING
PLAN. THAT'S NEAR OR SHARE
WITHIN A ONE MILE RADIUS OF
APPLICATION SO HOW IS THAT GOING
I MEAN IS THERE ENFORCEMENT
GOING ON OUT THERE ARE THERE
VIOLATIONS OF THEIR NOT.
SO. I DON'T HAVE WOULD SAY YES I
CAN'T SPEAK TO THE DETAILS
BECAUSE THAT HAPPENS TO THE
COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
COMMISSIONERS OFFICE. AND THAT'S
AT THE LOCAL LEVEL ENFORCES THE
DPR PIECE OF THIS AND THE
NOTIFICATION PIECE OF THAT.
BUT THERE IN IN THIS STATE AS
YOU KNOW WE'RE THE ONLY STATE
THE HOUSE THE SYSTEM WE DO THAT
BOTH REGISTERS AS WELL AS SOME
FORCES USE AND RESTRICTS USE OF
PESTICIDES. INCLUDING RESTRICTED
PESTICIDES NOTIFICATION ISSUES
THAT'S ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL THROUGH THE
COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
COMMISSIONERS OFFICE. SO.
ON THAT PIECE THERE'S A ROBUST
SYSTEM IN PLACE AND THAT WORKS
IT INTO.
BUT WE DON'T USUALLY FROM THE AG
COMMITMENT TO DETRACT THAT IS A
LEVEL. PP R. BECAUSE I BELIEVE
AND I WONDER IF THEY'RE STILL
HERE SAY LEVEL GAP.
THAT'S THE SAME YES.
THERE WE CAN GET SOME REPORT
BETH ABOUT. IMPLEMENTATION EVEN
THOUGH I KNOW IT'S A COUNTY YES
AND THEN AGAIN IF THESE ARE BUT
I'LL SAY BROKE PLACEMENT OF
HIVES AND NOBODY KNEW THEY WERE
THERE SOMETIMES.
THE CONTRIBUTING FACTOR SO
THAT'S WHY I REALLY DOING THE
WORK UP FRONT TO GET THE
ENFORCEMENT OF REGISTRATION AND
MAKING SURE THAT ALL THE HIVES
THAT ARE IN THE STATE ARE
REGISTERED. AND THEY'RE IN THE
DATABASE SO THAT ACROSS COUNTY
LINES EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT'S
GOING ON THAT WILL HELP THIS
WILL ALSO HELP ON YOUR ISSUE OF
FOUR EIGHT. AND ON THE FOR EACH
BILL I THINK THAT WAS A BILL
FROM TWO YEARS AGO IN EGGMAN
BILL.
ABOUT PUBLIC LANDS I BELIEVE
FAST THROUGH THE. DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE.
PERHAPS.
ABOUT BEING ABLE TO HELP
FACILITATE FORAGING
OPPORTUNITIES ON PUBLIC LANDS I
THINK THERE'S STILL A LOT OF
WORK TO BE DONE.
BUT AGAIN WITH THE ROBUST
AND EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
PROCESS AND THE ABILITY TO
COMMUNICATE WE CAN MAKE THE LIST
LIKE WE WE ENVISION DOING
MAPPING TO HELP ASSIST PEOPLE OF
BOTH PUBLIC LANDS. BUT I ALSO
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE
THAT WE HAVE TRIED TO
INCENTIVIZE MORE ON FARM
POLLINATOR HABITAT AND NATIVE
PLANT SO THAT WE COULD ALSO.
HAVE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES IN A
MORE LOCAL AREA ON FARMS
THEMSELVES THERE'S A LOT OF
REASONS FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCY.
SO I'LL HEALTH AND OTHER REASON
SO IT'S ONE OF THOSE MULTI
BENEFIT PLANTINGS OF BEING ABLE
TO FOCUS ON THOSE KINDA WE
HAVING GIVEN UP ON HAVING A
ROBUST NATIVE PEOPLE OVULATION
AND NOW I I THINK IT'S I THINK
IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THANEVER.
IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE
EFFORTS THAT PARTNERSHIPS
BETWEEN FARMERS RANCHERS AND
SOME OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL
ORGANIZATIONS ARE DOING FOR
MONARCH BUTTERFLY IS A PERFECT
EXAMPLE OF THAT. AND A LOT OF
THOSE KINDS OF PLANTINGS WILL
ALSO BENEFIT NATIVE POLLINATOR
SO I THINK IT'S AN CALIFORNIA'S
BEST INTEREST TO REALLY TRY TO
INCENTIVIZE AND ENCOURAGE MORE
OF THAT KIND OF WORK BEING DONE.
IF YOU OR IF DP ARE COULD JUST
GET BACK TO US AND WELL COUNTY
SIDE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR
EMPHASIS ON THIS AND JUST ME AT
A CONFERENCE OF PROGRAM RIGHT.
ALONG AN ENERGETIC TO REALLY
WORKED ROBUST AND ASKED THANK
YOU.
I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS WILL
HOLD THIS MATTER OPEN AND MOVE
ON TO LIFE FIGHT THAN THAT.
BOARD PROTECTION STATION THAT
THE CADILLAC OF BORDER
PROTECTION STATIONS. PLEASE OUT
WE.
WHAT WE HAVE NOW IS A VERY TIRED
BICYCLE I THINK BECAUSE IT WAS
BUILT IN NINETEEN SIXTY ONE?
AND THE FLIGHT STATION SETS ON
INTERSTATE TEN WHICH IS A MAJOR
TRADE CORRIDOR AS WELL AS TRAVEL
AND TOURISM CORRIDOR. THAT
REALLY CONNECTS OUR PORTS IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
TO THE STATES OF ARIZONA NEW
MEXICO TEXAS LOUISIANA
MISSISSIPPI ALABAMA AND FLORIDA.
WE ALL KNOW THE STATISTICS THAT
APPROXIMATELY NINETY FIVE
PERCENT OF THE INVASIVE SPECIES
THAT WE FIND IN THE STATE ARE
DETECTED ON.
HE TYPED HITCHHIKING PASS ON ON
TRADES AND FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
SO THE BORDER STATIONS ARE AN
IMPORTANT PIECE OF OUR OVERALL.
KEEP THE PASSED OUT BUT THEN THE
ABILITY IF WE DO FIND THEM TO BE
QUICKLY SUPPRESSED THAT
POPULATION. ON THIS THIS BE BEST.
BORDER STATION WAS BUILT IN
NINETEEN SIXTY ONE AND WAS
DESIGNED FOR ABOUT SEVEN HUNDRED
THOUSAND VEHICLES. AND I DON'T
HAVE THE MOST RECENT STATISTICS
BUT WE KNOW WE HAVE MORE THAN
FIVE MILLION TRUCKS CARS
TRAILERS AND BOATS.
GOING THROUGH THAT SAME
FACILITY NOW SO IT'S NOT ONLY.
A PUBLIC HEALTH
ISSUE OF PEOPLE WITH PATTESON
EVERYBODY SITTING ON THAT
FREEWAY IT'S ALSO A SIGNIFICANT
EMPLOYEE SAFETY ISSUE HAVING A A
WOEFULLY UNDERSIZED FACILITY
WITHOUT THE KIND OF LIGHTING.
AND OTHER KINDS OF.
IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE WOULD DO
WITH THIS BCP'S SO WE ARE
REQUESTING NINE MILLION THREE
HUNDRED FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND
DOLLARS FIX WOULD BE TO ACQUIRE
TWENTY FIVE ACRES JUST WEST OF
THE CURRENT SITE. AND THEN AFTER
THAT THERE WOULD BE THE PLANNING
THE ENGINEERING AND THE BUILDING
PROCESS THAT STUFF SO THIS IS
JUST FOR THE LAND ACQUISITION.
BY MOVING THE LOCATION.
WEST YOU GET THAT WE HAPPENED
AFTER THAT BYPASS PROBLEM YES WE
HAVE OR THAT THE ABILITY TO DO
THAT AND THE SPACE TO PUT UP AN
ADEQUATE SIZE FACILITY FOR THE
TWENTY FOUR EMPLOYEES THAT NOW
WORK OUT OF THE CURRENT ONE.
CARILLO. WE'D NOT RAISING ANY
ISSUES.

WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF THIS MUCH

OKAY.
LET'S OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING
WE HAVE A MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.
INTERESTED IN THE BLIGHT.

DENNIS ALBION AB OUT THE GRAIN
FEED ASSOCIATION CALIFORNIA C.
DISSOCIATION SEVERAL OTHERS I I
CAN'T GIVE MUCH BETTER TESTIMONY
THEN SENATOR NIELSEN GAVE
EARLIER TODAY. A IN SUPPORT OF
THE BORDER STATIONS HOW BORED
THEY ARE FOR INVASIVE SPECIES
ABOARD THEIR TO PREVENT ANIMAL
DISEASES. ARAB AND AND HOW
IMPORTANT THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IS
TO MAINTAIN FOR A VARIETY OF
REASONS EVEN NON AGRICULTURAL
REASONS WE USE THIS
INFRASTRUCTURE. FOR PUBLIC
SAFETY PURPOSES AS WELL SO WE
SUPPORT IT AND WE THINK THAT
THERE'S A LOT MORE WORK TO DO IN
THAT AREA THANK.
MORNING R CHAIRMAN OF THE
COMMITTEE JUST OLD FIELD WITH
CALIFORNIA CATTLEMEN'S JUST ONE
ECHO THE COMMENTS MADE BY MISTER
ALI ANI.
CERTAINLY BORDER STATION
SERVICE IMPORTANT.
THE FIRST STEP TO COMBATING
ANIMAL DISEASE INTO THE STATE AS
WELL AS THE LIVESTOCK THAT
COMPONENT AS WELL. WERE ABLE TO
CHECK A BRAND CERTIFICATES
COMING INTO THE STATE AND
LEAVING TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S
AN ISSUE WITH STAFF THAT. IT'S A
DETERRENT SO. WE S. SPORT
PROPOSAL APPRECIATE YOU ARE
HEARING IT THANK YOU HEIGHT WILL
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING QUESTIONS
CENTER MCGUIRE.
THINK SO MUCH RICHER AND JUST
WANTED MOMENT ALWAYS TO. SAY HOW
MUCH WE APPRECIATE AT SECTOR FOR
OVER WORK FOR THESE MANY MANY
YEARS. AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO.
WORK ON ISSUES IN OF HIS WINE
AND YOU'VE BEEN FANTASTIC AND
YOU'VE BEEN AYE AS THE SURPRISE
FOR THEM THE DREAMER RECYCLING
EVEN THEN THE DREAM WITH
CANNABIS.
SO I THINK YOU AND YOUR TEAM FOR
ALL YOUR WORK ON ISSUES THAT CAN
PURSUANT MEN SECTOR
VERY VERY GRATEFUL.
THE CAN YOU JUST GIVE A SET SO.
WE HAVE THE SIXTY POINT THREE
MILLION DOLLAR TOTAL ESTIMATE
HIGH REGARD THE BUILD OUT OF THE
NEW APARTMENT AT THE NEW STATION.
CAN YOU GIVE US IN YOUR HEAD
TIMELINE IN WALK US THROUGH THAT
A BECAUSE THAT'S.
BUT.
ITS ITS ANTIQUATED THERE'S
GREAT CONCERN RIGHT AND I KNOW
THAT WE NEED TO JUMP TO THE HOPE
TO BETTER SECURE THE LAND BUT.
THE LONGER WE WAIT MORE
CHALLENGE OVER HOW SO HAVING WE
WERE JUST MAKING COMMENTS ABOUT
BRINGING TO YOUR MOUTH FACILITY
ONLINE I THINK IT'S FUNNY GOING
TO HAPPEN IN MY LIFETIME BUT
THAT HAD COMPLICATIONS WITH THE
LAND ITSELF BECAUSE OF SOME
FEDERAL OWNERSHIP.
SO I THINK AND I'M LOOKING AT MY
FRIENDS FROM FINANCES IS A
MINIMUM OF A TEN YEAR PROCESS.
AMANDA MONTH SAID ABOUT RIGHT
AND IT WILL LOOK AT THE CURRENT.
THE CURRENT SCHEDULE I'M
ESTIMATES PART TO CONCLUSION AT
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR.
TWENTY FOUR.
AND THAT'S LIKE THAT'S LIGHTNING
SPEED.
FAST I DON'T THINK YOU CAN WORK
MID DAY OUT AND LIFE AND IN THE
MORNING. GIVE ME UNDER SHARPER
BAD DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE PUT IN
EARLY AND THAT IS OUR HOPE
COURSE THAT'S OUR HOPE AND A LOT
HAS TO DO WITH THE LAND
ACQUISITION ITSELF ACQUISITION
SOMETIMES CAN TAKE AS LONG AS
THE CONSTRUCTION.
SO A LOT OF FOOT WORKS BEEN PUT
INTO THIS PROJECT OF I MEAN THIS
PROJECT ISN'T NEW TED THE
DEPARTMENT TEN SO THERE'S BEEN
AND A BUDGET PACKAGE THAT WAS
ALREADY PREPARE THAT WILL HELP
WITH PLENARY PLANS ON WORKING
DRAWINGS.
SO. AND ACQUISITION IS REALLY
AYE I THINK ARE.
HER LONGEST STRETCH HERE BECAUSE
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LANDOWNERS
FROM MY UNDERSTANDING BUT IF WE
CAN GET OVER THAT HURDLE AND AND
THE MARKET.
CONTINUES AS THE HOUSE BAND AND
WE CAN GET THE LABOR AND
PROBABLY DESIGNED ONLY A COUPLE
YEARS AND THEN CONSTRUCTION AND
A YEAR TO.
THANK YOU.
PART THIS IS A SEPARATE
CONDITION IS APPROVED. AS BUDGET
WE HAVE MOTION CENTER NIELSEN
MOVES MATTER PLEASE CALL THE

STERN.
CREDIT HAS FOR. BOB VOTE SITS
PARA PASSES ON TO THE FULL
COMMITTEE LET'S TURN TO ISSUE
NUMBER FIFTY. THE GUANLONG BEING.
AND THE ASIAN CITRUS.
PHYLLIS PHILLIP PRIME.
THE INSECT IN THE VECTOR
PROBLEMS PLEASE A PROCEED.
SO THIS IS A PROPOSAL FOR CITRUS
PATH TO DISEASE PREVENTION
PROGRAM. BOB WHICH AGAIN IS
ANOTHER.
STANDING PARTNERSHIP WITH
ITSELF IN ITS CONTRIBUTE
SIGNIFICANT DOLLARS TO THIS AS
WELL AS OUR PARTNERS AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL FOR THE UNITED
STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
THAT COMMISSIONERS OURSELVES AND
IN THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM THE
COOPERATION OF PRESIDENTIAL
CITIZENS BECAUSE WITH SO MANY
HOMES IN THE STATE HAVE AT LEAST
ONE OR TWO CITRUS TREES SO. IT
REALLY HAS BEEN A ROBUST PROGRAM.
THIS SPECIFIC PROPOSAL REQUEST
TO AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS OF
GENERAL FUND AUTHORITY IN TWO
AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS THAT
ACCENT AUTHORITY. FOR FISCAL
YEAR TWENTY EIGHTEEN NINETEEN
AND I'M GOING TO ENHANCE THIS
PROGRAM.
BOB FOR SEVERAL MONTHS VERY
IMPORTANT REASONS WE KNOW WHAT
HAS HAPPENED IN FLORIDA WERE
VERY DETERMINED HERE IN
CALIFORNIA TO NOT ALLOW THE
DECIMATION OF COMMERCIAL CITRUS
PRODUCTION IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. AND I WOULD SAY THE
PARTNERSHIPS THAT I JUST
REFERENCE TO. HAVE HAVE MEANT
SUCCESS TO THE STATE WE KNEW IT
WAS COMING WITH BETWEEN THE
PUBLIC OUTREACH BUT SYSTEMS IN
PLACE.
.
BUT WE ALSO HAVE AN INCREASING
PASS POPULATION ASIAN CITRUCEL
AD WHICH ACTUALLY VECTORS THE
DISEASE THAT KILLS THE TREES. SO
FOR US IT'S ABOUT SUPPRESSING
KEEPING THE PAST
POPULATIONS AS LOW AS POSSIBLE
ERADICATING THEM IFAT ALL
POSSIBLE AND KEEPING THEM AWAY
FROM COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION. THE
SECOND PART OF THIS HAS BEEN TO
DO THE SURVEY WORK TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE DISEASE ITSELF IS NOT
IN THE STATE. AND UNFORTUNATELY
WE DO HAVE THAT DISEASE
RESERVOIR IN THE STATE IT'S
PRIMARILY IN URBAN AREAS IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. AND JUST IN
THE TIME OF WHEN WE FIRST
STARTED TO WORK ON THIS BUDGET
CHANGE PROPOSAL.
WE HAD APPROXIMATELY FIFTY FINES
OF THE DISEASE AND URBAN
BACKYARDS WE IMMEDIATELY PULL
THOSE TREES SHRED THEM TREAT
THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY THEY
ARE NO LONGER A RECIPE FOR OF
THE BACTERIUM. BUT WE HAVE SINCE.
HAD OVER SIX HUNDRED TREAT FINES
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IS STILL
A VERY CONCENTRATED AREA. BUT
HAVING HAT REST OF FOUR OF THE
DISEASE BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF
LIKE HAVING A. A FIRE THAT YOU
DON'T WANT TO SPREAD BECAUSE THE
THE BAG ITSELF COULD TAKE IT TO
OTHER PLACES OF THE STATE.
SO WE ARE FINDING THAT WE WERE
HAVING WERE HAVING TO EXTEND THE
QUARANTINE AREAS AND THE
ENFORCEMENT OF US CORTINARIUS
REQUIRES MORE PEOPLE.
MORE WORK AT THE AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL BUT WERE ALSO HAVING TO
REALLY AMP UP THE NUMBERS OF
BODIES THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE
DOING THE TREE SURVEYS. AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY THIS IS PUTTING AN
INCREASING BURDEN ON OUR LAPS TO
DO THE DIAGNOSTICS.
TO MAKE SURE THAT IF IF WE'RE
GONNA TELL SOMEONE WE HAVE TO
PULL YOUR TREE THAT WE WERE VERY
CERTAIN THAT IT'S BEEN DONE IN A
USDA CERTIFIED LAB. FOR THOSE OF
THAT THOSE OF THE STRAINS ON OUR
PROGRAM RIGHT NOW.
OUR.
PROGRAM WORKING WITH THE
INDUSTRY ADVISORY COMMITTEE HAS
BEEN GOING THROUGH EXTENSIVE
STRATEGIC PLANNING NOW THAT WE
KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE DISEASE IN
THE STATE. ARE WE PUTTING THE
RIGHT DOLLARS THE RIGHT NUMBERS
OF PEOPLE ONTO THE RIGHT
PROGRAMS AND THE RIGHT KIND OF
WAY. AND ARE WE BEING STRATEGIC
ABOUT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE
CAN TO BE EFFECTIVE IN KEEPING
THE DISEASE ITSELF FROM
SPREADING IN GETTING INTO
COMMERCIAL KRAUSE. THAT
STRATEGIC PLAN IS AND FORMING A
LOT OF OUR RESOURCE ALLOCATION
WE FEEL CONFIDENT THAT EVEN
THOUGH THIS IS A RAPIDLY
EVOLVING PROGRAM AND A VERY
COMPLEX PROGRAM. THAT THE
PROPOSAL HERE IS ADEQUATE.
AND SO WITHOUT I WOULD BUT I
WOULD REQUEST YOUR UPPORT FOR
THAT IT'S WE HAVE ARE WARMING
TEMPERATURES AT THE AT THE STATE.
ARE WE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS.
PHENOMENON MOVING INTO SANTA
BARBARA. MONTEREY AND TO HAVE
THOSE THOSE THOSE AREAS MEAN I
IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S ISOLATED IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BUT I DON'T
KNOW HOW THE.
ASIAN CITRUS
PHILIP.
I WOULD SAY SENATOR IT IS A DEEP
CONCERN OF MINE WITH CLIMATE
CHANGE WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN.
OF THE LENGTH OF TIME OF OUR
PAST SEASONS GETTING LONGER AND
LONGER. OF LAST YEAR JUST AS WE
WERE FIGHTING WILDFIRES IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WE ALSO HAD
MET FLY ERADICATION PROGRAMS
GOING ON AND THAT'S. THAT'S JUST
AN INDICATOR OF THE CHANGING
CLIMATE THE BUGS EITHER ADAPTING
OF THE BUGS BEING ABLE TO GO
INTO AREAS THAT PREVIOUSLY THEY
WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO.
SO IT IS IT IS WITH ALL OF OUR
INVASIVE SPECIES IT'S DEFINITELY
WHAT WE LOOK AT.
AT AS WE HAVE BEEN STAFFED UP
ONE WAY FOR CERTAIN SEASON. UP
TO HAVE THOSE SEASONS GET LONGER
AND LONGER AND IT'S SOMETHING
THAT WE'RE TRACKING AND USING A
LOT OF DATA TO BE ABLE TO INFORM
OURSELVES ABOUT. WHAT WE MIGHT
ANTICIPATE BUT HAVING?
OUTSTANDING CITRUS PRODUCTION
IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY AND THEN
VENTURA COUNTY IN THE HIGH
DESERT. IN SANTA BARBARA IN
ADDITION TO THE CENTRAL VALLEY
THIS IS SOMETHING WERE WERE
KEENLY MINDFUL OF WE FEEL WE
GOTTA THE BODIES ON THE GROUND
TO BE ABLE TO HELP US DO THAT
SURVEY WORK. ON THAT IT'S IT'S
IT'S EVOLVING I'M BEING VERY
STRAIGHTFORWARD ABOUT THAT ISN'T
INVOLVING COMPLEX PROP PROLIA.
AT MINIMUM WE RECOMMEND THE
LEGISLATURE APPROVED THE
GOVERNOR'S REQUEST FITTED WITH
THAT FOR FUNDING TO SUPPRESS
ASIAN CITRUS SWELLED AND LONG
LONG BEING. GIVEN THE RECENT
INCREASES IN THE SQUARE MILES
UNDER QUARANTINE FOR ASIAN
CITRUS PSYLLID ONE LUNG BANG.
AND THE GROWING NUMBER OF TREES
INFECTED WITH WITH LONG LONG
BEING OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS WE
THINK IT POSES A REAL THREAT TO
THE STATE'S CITRUS INDUSTRY AND
THAT'S WHY WE BELIEVE THIS
REQUEST IS SO IMPORTANT.
AND WE'RE ALSO RECOMMENDED
DEPARTMENT REPORT ON WHETHER THE
MEASURES IS CURRENTLY
IMPLEMENTING ARE SUFFICIENT TO
SUPPRESS AS ASIANS INTERESTS
SILICON LONG LONG BEING. WHETHER
THEY'RE ADDITIONAL MEASURES THAT
THE STATE SHOULD IMPLEMENT. AND
WHAT WOULD BE THE COSTS OF
IMPLEMENTING SUCH MEASURES I
BELIEVE SOME OF THE SIX HUNDRED
POUND HOMES THAT THEY FOUND.
THE.
HONG LONG BEEN.
IN CENTER NIELSEN.
I WOULD LOOK NO FAST CHAIRMAN
DAY BE YOU MENTIONED YOU KNOW
SOME OF THE MORE URBAN AREAS AT
HAVING BEEN THROUGH THE MED FLY.
MANY YEARS AGO.
AS YOU HAVE THE.
ENCROACHMENTS AND URBAN AREAS
THE INTENSITY THE LABOR
INTENSITY THAT THE DIRECTOR HAS
REFERRED TO GREATLY. INCREASES.
AND THE SENSITIVITY OF THE
PUBLIC SO THE NEED TO
COMMUNICATE WITH THE PUBLIC IS
GREATLY ENHANCED BY THAT AS WELL.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN YOU INTRODUCED
A SPECIES AND IT'S.
IN URBAN AREAS. YOU HAVE TO
REPLICATE THEIR TO YOU CAN'T
JUST DO IT OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
FEDERAL A BEIJING CITRUS.
PSYLLID SO.
THE WE BUT WE HAD A PROBLEM THAT
WAS REMARKABLE SUCCESS WITH BIO
CONTROL AND AND YOU KNOW THAT IN
THE GRAPE INDUSTRY IN PARTICULAR.
AND WE DO HAVE A PREDATOR.
WASP FOR IS THAT WHAT'S FOR MY
FIRST NET.
NOT YET SO WE HAVE THAT WE HAVE
DEVELOPMENT AND WE WE ACHIEVE
THAT EARLY ON IT'S JUST GETTING.
THE ACTUAL NUMBERS OF THAT TO BE
ABLE TO USE.
BUT WE HAVE A HIGH ENOUGH
POPULATION THAT WORKS BEST IF
YOU CAN GET KNOCKED DOWN THE
NUMBERS OF THE EXISTING AGENTS
SUCH AS THE LOOK FOR THIS TO BE
TRULY. EFFECTIVE OVER THE LONG
TERM BUT THAT'S OUR GOAL IN ALL
OF OUR PROGRAMS WE IMMEDIATELY
OF BIO CONTROL TO BE ABLE TO DO
THAT MASSIVE RELEASE OF WASP IN
LOS ANGELES NO SENATOR STERN
HAVE A QUESTION.
YOU MISTER CHAIR.
.
PUT ON THE SIDE NO LAUGHING
MATTER IN VENTURA COUNTY THREE
SISTERS COUNTRY WE DO NOT WANT A
REPEAT TO. THE FAILURES OF
FLORIDA HERE. YOU KNOW I MEAN
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. EIGHT
BILLION DOLLAR LOSS I THINK IN A
SINGLE YEAR IN THE GROWTH RATES
JUST YOU KNOW.
SO AS YOU SAID EVOLVING
SITUATION.
I DON'T ONE UNDERSHIRT THIS
THAT'S THAT'S THE BIG CONCERN
RIGHT SO. CAN YOU WALK US
THROUGH.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
WHAT YOU HOW HOW YOU THINK THESE
MEASURES ARE CURRENTLY PROPOSING
OF THIS SORT OF?
CLICK THE TRUNCATED FORM OF IT
WAS A TWO POINT FIVE THEY WERE
AT HIGH HOW THAT'S YOUR YOUR
SUPER SURE THAT THEY'RE
SUFFICIENT BECAUSE WELL. SO YEAH
AND CAN I WOULD INVITE NICK
CONDOS TO ASSIST SUCH AS PROGRAM
DIRECTOR APPEAR HE'S WORKING
VERY CLOSELY WITH INDUSTRY AS WE
GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS. OF
REALLY THINKING THROUGH DO WE
NEED THIS MANY BODIES DURING
THIS PARTICULAR ACTIVITY IS THAT
THE RIGHT PLACE. IS AT THE MOST
STRATEGIC AND EFFECTIVE WAY FOR
US TO BE ABLE TO COMBAT RIGHT
AND AND UNDERSTOOD PEOPLE AROUND
SO REALLY STARTS WITH. THE
NUMBERS OF PEOPLE HAVE OUT THERE
WHAT AT THE TASK THAT THEY'RE
DOING NOW. IF THEY WEREN'T DOING
THAT WHAT ELSE COULD THEY BE
DOING ESPECIALLY WITH THE FIND
OF THE DISEASE IN THE STATE SO
THOSE ARE EXACTLY THE KINDS OF.
DRILLS WERE GOING THROUGH WITH
THE COMMITTEE ITSELF AND PEOPLE
BEING VERY THOUGHTFUL ABOUT THAT.
SAYS AS SECRETARY MENTIONED THE
COMMITTEE.
IMPLEMENTED STRATEGIC PLAN
EARLIER THIS HEARING WE'RE USING
THAT TO INFORM.
THE PRIORITIES FOR FUNDING HERE
ALSO LOOKING AT OF THE GROWTH
RATE.
IN HOV AND PROJECTING THAT
FORWARD AND THEN FIGURE IT OUT
OKAY WHERE THE RESOURCES
NECESSARY AS THE SECRETARY
MENTIONED. IT ALL BEGINS WITH
DIAGNOSTICS IF THE HOW DO YOU
HOW DO YOU PREDICT THE GROWTH
RATE LIKE WHAT GOES INTO THAT
THAT THIS OR IS IT EPIDEMIOLOGY
I MEAN OR IS IDEOLOGY WORK WITH
THE UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA NAY
ARE A SCIENTISTS IN THE VA
ANALYZED OR DATA FROM THE LAST.
YEAR.
AND.
DEPENDING UPON THE PARTICULAR
INFESTATION AREA LIVER THEY'VE.
GIVEN IS AN AVERAGE GROWTH RATE
OVER THE WHAT WILL SO WE'RE
USING THAT TO PROJECT THAT WITH
THE. INCREASED LABORATORY
CAPACITY THAT WERE WORKING FOR.
WHAT OUR ABILITY TO DETECT
ADDITIONAL H. WILL BE IN THE
FUTURE IN THEY WERE BUILDING THE
RESOURCES PROJECT IN THE
RESERVES THAT WE NEED?
FUTURE.
BUT IT FAIR THAT I MAKE I I
DON'T I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT YOUR
REPORT BUT I MEAN HAVE YOU GONE
THROUGH SORT OF THAT WORST CASE
SCENARIO PLANNING WHERE YOU'RE
GETTING NONLINEAR GROWTH AND.
CLUSTERS OF VIRUS JUST
POPPING UP LIKE THINGS THAT HAVE
AS YET MIGHT NOT SURVIVE IT HERE
TO SET THOSE SENSITIVITIES ARE
FIELDS IN YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN
YES THIS POINT OKAY.
AND SO WHEN WHEN WE'RE HEARING
FROM THE CITRUS COMMUNITY YOU
KNOW WE COULD. IF WE DOUBLED YOU
KNOW EVEN QUADRUPLE THIS WE
STILL MIGHT NOT GET OUR HEADS
AROUND IT WE ARE HANDS AROUND
THIS PROBLEM QUICKLY ENOUGH AND.
NIP THIS IN THE BUD THIS YEAR I
MEAN.
I DON'T LIKE I SAID BEFORE I'M
I'M CONCERNED UNDER SHOOTING
THIS AND WELL YEAH I THINK I I
DON'T WANT THAT ON MY MIND I
JUST WELL I ALSO. POINT TO THE
IT DEPARTMENT HAS A VERY GOOD
TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS. AS WELL
AS WORKING WITH USD AND THESE-KINDS OF PROGRAMS AND USING THE
DATA AND THE SCIENCE IT IS
AVAILABLE. I ALSO WANT TO POINT
OUT THAT THERE SIGNIFICANT
INVESTMENT COMING THROUGH THE
FEDERAL SIDE OF THE US.
BUT FOR THE RESEARCH BECAUSE
ULTIMATELY WE NEED TO FIND A
CURE FOR THE DISEASE UP WHATEVER
THAT MIGHT BE AN INCLUDING. YOU
KNOW DOING THE PLANT BREEDING TO
BRING ON NEW VARIETAL SO WILL BE
RESISTANT. AND AND SO OUR JOB IS
TO MANAGE THIS AS A ACTIVELY AS
WE POSSIBLY CAN. AND WE HAVE A
TRACK RECORD OF DOING THAT BUT
IT ALSO IT'S REALLY EXAMINING.
THE DRILLS THAT WE'RE DOING TO
MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S THE RIGHT
PLACE TO PUT THE PEOPLE AND THE
MONEY TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT ARE
YOU DO YOU NEED MORE COOPERATION
FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO IN
TERMS OF ADMINISTERING IT HAPPEN
LIKE IS THERE MORE WE CAN BE
DOING. ON THAT FRONT BECAUSE I
KNOW IN THE SEVENTIES URBAN
AREAS THERE'S OVERLAPPING
JURISDICTIONS IN AND A LOT OF IT
IS ABOUT SORT OF PUBLIC
AWARENESS TO AND YOU'VE TO
COMMUNICATE IN MULTIPLE
LANGUAGES I MEAN YOU'VE GOT TO
BE ABLE TO GO OUT THERE ON A
MULTI LINGUAL BALLOTS IS. IN
GETTING THESE PUTS WE HAVE WHICH
WE HAVE TO DO SO TWO THINGS THEY
ARE I THINK WE HAVE OUTSTANDING
COOPERATION. COULD I WANNA GO
BACK I THINK YOU SENATOR YOU
SENATOR SENATOR.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE ARE
ALLOCATION PROGRAMS ARE OFTEN
BEING FOUGHT IN URBAN AND
SUBURBAN COMMUNITIES SO WE ARE
COMPLETELY DEPENDENT UPON. THE
COOPERATION OF THE CITIZENS WHO
LIVE THERE FOR ACCESS AND AND
THEY'RE INTERESTED PROGRAMS
SOMETIMES WERE BACK KNOCKING ON
THEIR DOOR ROUTINELY OVER A LONG
PERIOD OF TIME.
SO TO THE CREDIT OF THE CITRUS
INDUSTRY BEFORE WE KNEW WE HAD
THE BUG OR THE DISEASE IN THAT
STATE BASED ON WHAT FLORIDA HAD.
THEY PUT IN PLACE A REALLY
OUTSTANDING PUBLIC OUTREACH AND
EDUCATION PROGRAM AND I THINK
THAT'S ALSO BEEN CONTRIBUTING.
BUT WE ALSO KNOW IN THIS DAY AND
AGE OF MISTRUSTING GOVERNMENT
MISTRUST IN LARGE INSTITUTIONS
WE DO EVERY YEAR SEE MORE
INITIAL DECLINES I DON'T WANT TO
DON'T BUMP BOTHER ME SAY OFF MY.
PROPERTY.
SO WE DO DEAL WITH THAT WHICH IS
A PROCESS THAT WE HAVE TO WORK
WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO BE ABLE
TO HAVE ACCESS.
YOU CAN'T THERE'S NO REMOTE
SENSING YOU CAN'T DO ANY
ANALYSES SORT OF AS A SORT OF I
DON'T KNOW USING NEW TECHNOLOGY
I MEAN IT IS IF THERE IS THAT
TAKE THERE'S RESEARCH ON GOING
TO USE THE. DRONE OF A STERN A
SATELLITE BASED TECHNOLOGY IN
LOOKING AT THE DIFFERENT TO
PHEROMONES ARE NOTHING
SUPERMAJORITY AT THE MARKET OF
THAT THAT IS ALSO ONE OF THE
HIGHEST PRIORITIES IN ADDITION
TO RESISTANCE. THAT WE COMPLETE
THE OTHER ONE IS WE CAN'T WORK
FAST ENOUGH TO DEVELOP TRULY
RELIABLE AND EFFECTIVE EARLY
DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS WHATEVER IT
MIGHT BE FOR DETECTION.
INCLUDING WERE DOING IT WERE
DOING PILOTS NOW WITH DODD TEAMS
TO BE ABLE TO USE OUR GREAT
SECTORS. ACTUALLY SENSE THAT THE
DISEASE ITSELF BEING PRESENT IN
THE TREES THESE ARE LARGE TREES
AND SOMETIMES IT'LL TAKE SEVERAL
YEARS FOR THE FOR THE EVIDENCE
OF THE DISEASE TO EXPRESS ITSELF.
SO BEING ABLE TO USE VOLATILE
ORGANIC COMPOUNDS OR WHATEVER IT
MIGHT BE SO THAT'S BECOME A
NUMBER ONE PRIORITY WITH SOME OF
THE FEDERAL RESEARCH DOLLARS.
DO YOU REACH OUT TO COMMUNICORP
SPACERS CERTAIN POPULATION THAT
THEY'RE TOLD WOULDN'T GOVERNMENT
KNOCKS ON YOUR DOOR TO
UNANSWERED OR SO THERE'S THAT
THERE'S THE OTHER. I GUESS THE
THREAT OF RAISING YOUR TAXES IF
YOU DON'T ANSWER THE DOOR THAT
WOULD GET THEIR ATTENTION YOU
KNOW THERE'S THERE'S DIFFERENT
POPULATIONS OUT THERE FOR THAT
THEY GET TO KNOW OR. DATE THAT
YOU'RE UNABLE TO CONTACT THEM IT
IS UNBELIEVABLE HOW COOPERATIVE
THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN ON THIS
PROGRAM. BUT IT'S SOMETHING I AM
KEENLY AWARE OF THAT THAT IT'S A
FRAGILE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE HAVE
THERE BECAUSE WE ARE ASKING FOR
ACCESS TO THEIR PRIVATE PROPERTY.
AND FATAL A LOSER TREES AND I
COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND OFTEN
REQUIRE.
SPENCER JR'S WANNA GO TO SCHOOL
MORE TIME SO.
TEN MILLION THAT IN IN THIS
CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.
WERE GOING DOWN SIGNIFICANT IN
REGARDS THE INVESTMENT BUT WERE
SEEN INCREASING CASES.
AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS IT IN
THE MONTH OF JANUARY LOAN WE
CITED TIONAL HUNDRED TWENTY
CASES.
WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE.
WE'VE WE'VE HAD SINCE JANUARY
WE'VE HAD PUBLICLY ORDEAL OVER.
SINCE JANUARY YEAH. NO WELL WE
WITH A THREE HUNDRED TWO AT THE
END OF LAST YEAR NOW UP TO FIVE
TIMES OVER FIVE HUNDRED. WERE
HIGH FIFTY SEVEN.
THE YOU THAT PART PART OF THIS
IS REAL REALLOCATING GOING TO
DESTROY ALL OF REALLOCATING
RESOURCES TO THE RIGHT PLACES.
AND AND THE STRATEGIC PLAN IS
THE FIRST ONE THAT'S BEEN DONE.
GIVEN THE MATURITY THE PROGRAM
WOULD'VE BEEN GREAT OF HAD IT
YOU KNOW FOUR YEARS AGO BUT WE
WE HAVE IT NOW AND THAT'S THE
PROCESS WE'RE GOING THROUGH
RIGHT NOW.
WE ALSO HAVE BEEN SOME
CARRYOVERS.
OKAY. AT LOOK I I THINK THAT.
.
YOU ARE OUT THE CHAIRWOMAN OF
THE I HAVE AG HERE IN THE SENATE
THE IS VERY CONCERNED REGARDS TO.
NOT HAVING ADDITIONAL DOLLARS I
THINK THERE ARE SOME IN THE
INDUSTRY. THAT ARE CONCERNED
THAT WHAT WILL SPREAD FROM AYE
NEIGHBORHOODS WILL GO INTO THOSE
COMMERCIAL OUTGROWTHS THAT ARE
PRODUCED IN CITRUS SO I THINK.
THAT IT JUST IN AGAIN AYE IF
WE'RE SEEING A SIGNIFICANT
UPTICK IN THE NUMBER OF CASES
AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO BE A TO
GO BACK YARD BACKYARD AND THAT'S
WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. IT
SEEMS LIKE WE NEED ADDITIONAL
FOLKS ON THE GROUND
TO BE ABLE TO NIP THIS THING ARE
A AND WERE SEEN AN INCREASE IN
CASES.
AND A DECREASE IN BUDGET.
SO. WHAT YOU'RE CARRY OVER
THOUGH IS NOT AS MUCH AS WHAT WE
ARE PUTTING IN LAST YEAR THOUGH?
BUT.
SO AND THAT'S.
AND I KNOW YOU NEED TO BE ABLE
TO.
I STICK WITH WHERE THE
ADMINISTRATION'S AT I I JUST
HAVE SOME CONCERN ó TO SAY. I
HAVE SOME CONCERN ABOUT IN
REGARDS TO.
WE'RE INVESTING HALF
APPROXIMATELY WHERE WE WERE LAST
YEAR.
WAIT IS. UP TAKING CASES.
BUT THERE ARE THERE'S A FEDERAL
FUNDING STREAM THERE IT THERE'S
OTHER MONIES COMING INTO THIS
PROGRAM SO YOU KNOW BUT IT'S
IT'S A. IT'S A TOTAL BUT THE
TOTAL PIE. UP IN THERE ARE
RESERVES.
AT AND AND I WOULD HAVE TO SAY
THAT AGAIN THE PARTNERSHIP WITH
INDUSTRY ITSELF BECAUSE THE
INDUSTRY'S VIGILANT FOR. THAT
THE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION SO
IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE HAVING TO
SHIFT BODIES THE ARAB BUT BUT
YOU'RE YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
WE'VE HAD TO. REALLOCATE PEOPLE
TWO ASSIGNMENTS TO DO THIS KIND
THE KINGS RESIDENTIAL INCURRED
IF I'M WRONG IT'S ABOUT A SEVEN
POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLAR
REDUCTION.
IN GENERAL FUND ALLOCATION.
AND ARE YOU ABLE THE BACK SO
THAT WITH. FEDERAL AS WELL AS
RESERVES.
DEPENDING ON THE FARM BILL AND
APPROPRIATIONS SOME OF THAT GAS.
SOME OF THAT WAS NOT UTILIZED
LAST YEAR THAT'S HOW COME WE
HAVEN'T CARRYOVERS SO WE'RE.
LOOKING AT ALL OF THOSE PIECES
TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A PROGRAM
THAT'S THE RIGHT SIZE AND DOING
THE RIGHT THINGS.
OKAY IT I KNOW THAT YOURS IS
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO SKIP JUNIS
COMES AS I I JUST HAVE SOME
CONCERN. AND AGAIN NOT AT ALL I
TRYING TO BECOME PARTISAN IT ALL
BUT YEAH ANYTIME WERE RELYING ON
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TIME.
I JUST WOULDN'T PUT FAITH IN
THAT WE MAY SEE THOSE DOLLARS
COMING DOWN AND IN THIS IS NOT AT ALL ANY FAULT
BY THE WAY THE DEPARTMENT SAID
NO YOU'VE BEEN ALL OVER THIS.
BUT I I I I WORRY THAT WE'RE
LOSING GROUND AS WE TAKE A LOOK
AT THE NUMBERS THE NUMBERS OF
CASES A CONTINUED INCREASE IF WE
CONTINUE TO DECREASE I'D RATHER
ABBAS CONTROL OUR OWN DESTINY.
AYE IT WITH THEIR OWN DOLLARS
BUT AGAIN MADAM SECRETARY YOU
KNOW WHO CAN DO THE COMPOSITION
DESCRIPTIVE WORDS I LOOK FORWARD
TO I THINK THE ACTIVITIES GOING
TO BE DOING AN INFORMATIONAL
HEARING AYE. AYE HUESO YOU HAVE
ANY CONCERNS A. S..
I'M NOT ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN AND.
NET NET NOTHING TO ADD TO OTHERS.
AND FINANCE HERE.
LET'S OPEN UP PUBLIC HEARING
THIS IS ITEM NUMBER.
FIFTY.
.
THE CITRUS PESTS AND DISEASE
PREVENTION PROGRAM.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS THE
COMMITTEE LOUIS BROWN ON BEHALF
OF CALIFORNIA CITRUS MUTUAL WANT
TO THANK YOU FOR THE DIALOGUE%
THIS MORNING. ON THIS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT ISSUE AND A ECHO THE
STATEMENTS OF THE COMMITTEE IN
IN EXPRESSING OUR APPRECIATION
TO SECRETARY ROSS. AND HER TEAM
OF FOR THE PARTNERSHIP THAT THEY
HAVE CREATED WITH THE CITRUS
INDUSTRY OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS
AND MAKING. A THIS SURPRISE
ALREADY WE DO AGREE WITH KEEPING
THE ITEM OPEN FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME ADDITIONAL
DISCUSSION. WE ARE CONCERNED AS
WELL WITH THE NUMBER OF OF CASES
THAT HAVE WE'VE SEEN THIS LAST
YEAR.
AFTER THE ORIGINAL BCP WAS WAS
PUT INTO THE BUDGET SO WE THINK
THAT THERE IS ROOM FOR THAT
DISCUSSION WE ALSO DO SHARE SOME
CONCERNS WITH. THE ABILITY OF
CONGRESS TO PASS A FARM BILL IN
AND MOVE SOME OF THOSE MONEY SO
THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
POTENTIALLY GET SOME ADDITIONAL
MONEYS FROM THE GENERAL FUND
THIS YEAR. AND CREATEMORE OF A
RESERVE OR ABOUT FOR SO THAT WE
CAN TACKLE THIS WITH THE FULL
SIX JENNIFER PROGRAMS POSSIBLE
WE THINK THAT MAKES GOOD SENSE.
I JUST WANT ONE ADDITIONAL POINT
IS TO TALK ABOUT THE RESEARCH
SIDE OF THINGS THE INDUSTRY'S
ALSO FUNDED.
AND HAS DEVELOPED A RESEARCH
FACILITY WITH THE U. SIR UC
RIVERSIDE HOW SPECIFICALLY FOR
LOOKING FOR.
ALTERNATIVES TO THIS ISSUE. AND
THEN FINALLY THEY THESE MONIES
JUST TO CLARIFY THESE MONIES TO
COME FROM THE GENERAL FUND OR
FOR URBAN OUTREACH THERE FOR
BIOLOGICAL CONTROL. THERE FOR
HELPING THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND
NONE OF THE MONEY THAT COMES
FROM THE GENERAL FUND IS
ACTUALLY USED FOR. A CHEMICAL
ACTIVITIES FOR THOSE TYPES OF
TREATMENTS I JUST WANT TO PUT
THAT ON THE RECORD THAT'S
WITHOUT PARTNERSHIP COMES IN
ENSURING THOSE FUNDS THANK YOU.
ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE YEAH A
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON WE SOME
OF THE MONIES THAT PAUL TOWERS
WITH CALIFORNIA'S REPORTS THAT
REFORM AYE SOME OF THE MONIES
ARE USED AND ENCOURAGE FOR THE
TREATMENT.
TREATMENT WITH A CHEMICAL
CHLORPYRIFOS A NOR TOXIC
INSECTICIDE THAT POSES THREATS
TO HOBBIES AS WELL AS PEOPLE
THAT'S ONE OF THE TWO WE VERY
MUCH SEE THE PROBLEMS WITH ASIAN
CITRUS CELL IN THE LONG ONE
BEING DISEASE. WE FULL HEARTEDLY
SUPPORT THE IDEA OF OCT
CONTROLLING THE PAST
BUT ANY EFFORTS TO SUPPORT OR
THE CONTINUED USE OF
CHLORPYRIFOS SOMETHING THAT IS A.
CALIFORNIA PROP SIXTY FIVE
PESTICIDES CONCERNING.
TREATMENT WHEN YOU WERE HERE
PULLING OUT THAT. THE SUBURBAN
TREATING YOUR SHREDDING IT IS
IT'S THAT WHEN IT'S APPLIED HER
SITS.
EXISTS.
BUT IT DID.
SEE IF A PROGRAM DOES NOT USE
CHLORPYRIFOS
I OR WE PULL OUT AN INTERESTING
TREE WE TREAT FULLY EARLY WITH
THE THE ACTIVE AGREED SAFELY
THROUGH AND.
AND. WHAT WE'RE DOING PRO
PREVENTIVE TREATMENTS IN AREAS
AROUND AGE WILL BE WILL ALSO USE
THE? PRODUCT WITH THE
IMIDACLOPRID IS THE ACTIVE
INGREDIENT IS A SYSTEMIC TO GIVE
LONG LASTING PROTECTION AGAINST
INVESTIGATION BUT WE DO NOT USE
CLUB HIGHER FLAWS. IN OUR URBAN
SPRAY PROGRAMS.
AND IN SO IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'VE
SEEN ENCOURAGED BY THAT OUR
DEPARTMENT IS ACTUALLY MANDATED
AS PART OF THE KNOCKED DOWN
PROGRAM IS FIRST USING.
I'M YOU NECK AND A CLOAK BREAD
FIRST ARE USING SORRY
CHLORPYRIFOS AND THEN USING.
ENOUGH OKAY.
THEY COULD IT GET HERE THAT ON
THE RECORD I MEAN THAT'S THE
FIRST WE'VE HEARD IN DISCUSSIONS
OF THE DEPARTMENT BUT SOME.
CAN THINK IT'S GOOD NIGHT SUCH
GREAT MUSIC IT'S GOOD NEWS FOR
ALL RIGHT THANK YOU WE'RE GOING
TO. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING HOW I
KEEP THIS MATTER HOLD THIS
MATTER OPEN AND MOVE ON TO AND
TERM MARK CROWE BEALL THOUGHT
DRUGS FOR LIVESTOCK.
THIS IS A TO FIND WORK OF CHERRY
HILL HIGH CINDY. YES.
AT AT A TWO YEAR EFFORT.
.
SO THIS THIS IS A PROGRAM FOR
THE USE OF ANTI MICROBIAL TRACKS
ON LIVESTOCK THAT SPECIFIC
REQUEST IS FOR. TWO MILLION SIX
HUNDRED SIXTY EIGHT THOUSAND
DOLLARS IN GENERAL FUND
AUTHORITY AND ELEVEN POSITIONS.
FOR FISCAL YEAR TWENTY EIGHTEEN
NINETEEN AND ONGOING FOR THE
ANIMAL HEALTH AND FOOD SAFETY
SERVICES DIVISION AS WELL AS THE
INSPECTION SERVICES DIVISION. TO
IMPLEMENT AND THIS IS THE THIRD
PHASE OF AND WILL BRING US TE
FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT
TWENTY FIFTEEN LAW.
THE PROGRAM RECEIVED.
FUNDING EIGHT POSITIONS AN
FISCAL YEAR TWENTY SIXTEEN
SEVENTEEN AND ADDITIONAL FUNDING.
AND EIGHT HAVE POSITIONS OF
TWENTY SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN AND I
WILL SAY THESE ARE VERY HIGHLY
SPECIALIZED POSITIONS AND AND
EXPERTS MISTAKEN AS WELL THE
FEEL OF POSITIONS BUT WITH THAT
EXCELLENT PEOPLE IN PLACE. DOING
THE WORK IN FULL INPUT JUST
THINKING THAT'S TWENTY SEVEN AND
HAVE POSITION STATEWIDE FOR.
COMING AYE RIVER WHEN WE VOTED
ON THIS.
ANTI MICROBIAL BUT SEEN.
I DON'T KNOW IF I WAS
ANTICIPATING TWENTY SEVEN AND
HAVE PEOPLE STATEWIDE TO WORK ON
THAT. CALIFORNIA IS A LARGE
STATE WE HAVE A VERY LARGE
LIVESTOCK POPULATION EVEN THOUGH
WE STILL BRING IN. MORE THAN
MEAT AND ANIMAL PROTEINS THAT
THAT WE COULD SEE THAT WE
CONSUME THAN WHAT WE ACTUALLY
PRODUCE HERE. WE ALSO HAVE IN
ADDITION TO THE COMMERCIAL
PRODUCTION OF LIVESTOCK WE ALSO
HAVE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF
VERY SMALL. RULE RESIDENTS WHO
RUN FIVE OR SEVEN HEAD OF CATTLE
OR SOME GOATS ARE SOME SHEEP AND
MANY MANY BACKYARD POULTRY
PRODUCERS. AND WE ALSO HAVE
YOUTH PROGRAMS AND FOUR H. AND
FFA SO WE HAVE A MANY PEOPLE TO
REACH OUT AND TOUCH AND A
PROGRAM THAT IS NOT DUPLICATED
ANY PLACE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY
CALIFORNIA IS THE ONLY STATE.
THAT HAS TAKEN STEPS
TO PRECLUDE THE SALE OF
ANTIBIOTICS OVER THE COUNTER.
AND TO MANDATE THAT EVERYONE OF
THESE PEOPLE INCLUDING.
YOU HAVE A VETERINARIAN
RELATIONSHIP TO MAKE SURE THAT
ANYTHING THAT IS BEING USED AS
IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOOD
VETERINARY PACKED PRACTICES WERE
ALSO CREATING ALL NEW SPECIES
SPECIFIC. BEST MANAGEMENT AND
STEWARDSHIP GUIDELINES AND
THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF THE WORK
IS GOING IN ITS JERRY TECHNICAL
REPORTS A LOT OF EXPERT INHOUSE
AT WORKING WITH THE VETERAN.
VETERINARIAN COMMUNITY BECAUSE
YOU KNOW MANY OF THESE PEOPLE
WANT TO SCHOOL DAY FROM PRACTICE
WRITING IN THIS FIELD THERE USE
TO USING HER FIGHT. THEIR PER
RIGHT TO ME THIS IS THIS IS WHAT
THEY WERE TAUGHT AND THEY'VE
FEEL THE RESULTS ARE THERE NOW
WE'RE MOVING TO. ON THE A
DIFFERENT BUT IT'S LIKE IT'S
LIKE MEDICINE EVOLVES THEM AS WE
BECOME AWARE OF PROBLEMS AND
COLLECT THE DATA THAT CRAFT THE
RIGHT KINDS OF PRACTICES. ITS
ONGOING EDUCATION AND.
THE CREDENTIALS OF THE
VETERINARIANS THEMSELVES UP WILL
DEFINITELY BE A PART OF LOOKING
AT THIS BECAUSE WE WILL BE
SHARING CONFIDENTIAL DATA WITH
THE VETERINARY MEDICAL BOARD. AS
WELL AS WE HAVE TO WORK VERY
CLOSELY WITH THE BOARD OF
PHARMACY BECAUSE. ANYONE AT A
FEED STORE THAT WISHES TO BE
ABLE TO PROVIDE.
THAT'S WELL WILL HAVE TO
REGISTER AS A AS A PHARMACY SO
IT REQUIRES A LOT OF COOPERATION
ACROSS AGENCIES TO BE ABLE TO DO
THAT. AND THIS IS DOCTOR JONES
WAS OUR STATE VETERINARIAN THAT
CAN SPEAK TO THAT TO
VETERINARIANS RESPONSE TO THIS
OR WE PLAY A LOT OF COOPERATION
YOU WANT IT. ANSWERED THE
QUESTION ADEQUATELY RIGHT I
REMEMBER JUST.
WORRIED BUT CONCERNED ABOUT THE
PUSH BACK IN AND THE YOU KNOW
COOPERATION AYE AYE AYE GOOD
PUBLIC MAYBE OUT ONE ASPECT TO
IT THAT YOU COULD PROBABLY ALL
RELATE TO IF ANY OF YOU HAVE
BEEN TO A HOSPITAL LATELY OF
HUMAN HOSPITALLER HAVE FRIENDS
THAT HAVE BEEN TO HUMAN.
HOSPITAL YOU WILL BE NOTED AN
ENORMOUS CHANGE IN THE WAY ARE
THAT COUNTERPARTS IN THE HUMAN
MEDICAL FIELD USE ANTIBIOTICS
THEY DO A LOT MORE PREVENTATIVE
WORK AND. OF THEIR DAY DO MORE
TESTING IN THE TARGET
ANTIBIOTICS BUT.
MORE SPECIFICALLY WHILE
VETERINARIANS ARE THE SAME MIND.
VETERINARIANS WANT TO BE ABLE TO
USE THESE TOOLS IN THE FUTURE
AND THEY WANT THEM TO REMAIN AS
EFFECTIVE AS LONG AS LONG AS
POSSIBLE BUT WHAT THEY DIDN'T
HAVE WAS ACCESS TO INFORMATION
BECAUSE. VETERINARIANS DON'T
OPERATE OUT OF THESE ENORMOUS
HOSPITALS WITH BIG DATA SINKS
THAT THEY CAN USE TO MAKE THOSE
CHANGES. TO OUR DEPARTMENT A LOT
OF THAT WORKLOAD IS TRYING TO
GATHER THAT INFORMATION THAT CAN
INFORM THOSE DECISIONS SO THAT
WE CAN MAKE.
BETTER DECISIONS SO THAT THAT'S
A LOT OF THE INTENSITY OF THE
WORKLOAD AND WE'RE ALREADY ESTAS
EMBRYONIC BUT AND WERE ALREADY
SEEN CHANGES.
AND I LIKE A GOOD ONE JUST ADD
ON THE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS
IS OUR IS OUR FEET PROGRAM AN
INSPECTION SERVICES BECAUSE THEY
ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY
INTERACT. WITH ALL THE SPEED
STORES IN THE MAILS TO MAKE SURE
THAT THAT BY INSPECTIONS THAT WE
KNOW WE'VE GOT THE ENFORCEMENT
ON THAT SIDE OF IT AS WELL SO
I'VE GOT TWO DIFFERENT DIVISIONS
BETTER ENGAGED IN THAT.
BUT WE OWE YOU HAVE A COMMENT.
I SHUT MY WITH LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE WAITING MASON
ISSUES WITH THE PROPOSAL OKAY.
NIELSEN.
VETERINARIAN. DON'T JUST RELY ON
WHAT THEY LEARNED DURING THEIR.
COLLEGE YEARS.
THEY'RE ALWAYS LEARNING.
THERE'S ALWAYS NEW AND
TREMENDOUS DOLLARS PUT INTO
RESEARCH.
IN THIS AREA THAT HAS BEEN A
LONG TIME TRANSITION NOTHING NEW
IN TERMS OF.
WEANING IF YOU WILL USE A BAG
TERM.
FROM SOME OF THE EVA THAT ABOUT
EXIT WE'VE BEEN USING.
AND THAT'S THAT'S AN ONGOING.
THEN STILL THE. AND BY NOT
CORRECTIVE VETERINARIANS ARE
ALWAYS LEARNING. IT IS A SEA
KIND OF THING. THAT COULD
MAINTAIN A LICENSE. CONTINUING
EDUCATION.
HAVE I APPRECIATE THAT COMMENT
AS A VETERINARIAN. I WOULD ALSO
JUST A LITTLE BRAGGING RIGHTS WE
DO HAVE THE NUMBER ONE
VETERINARY SCHOOL IN THE WORLD
THAT YOU SEE DAVIS AND SOME
GREAT STAFF BETTER ASSISTING US
IN SUPPORTING US IN THIS EFFORT.
SOONER STERN.
PAGE WAS CHAIR OF THE.
LIVE THE THE STANDARDS AND
VETERINARY PRACTICE KEEP.
GETTING RAISED EVERY YEAR WE'RE
SEEING BETTER AND BETTER WORK ON
ON ON THE FIELD. BY FOLKS RUN
THEIR OWN COW CALF OPERATION OF
SEEN.
IT IN PRACTICE AND I AGREE THAT
THAT SORT OF THOSE BEST
PRACTICES ARE IMPROVING BUT I DO.
I DO WANT TO RAISE THE ISSUE
THOUGH ABOUT.
TALK TO SENATOR HILL THIS
MORNING ACTUALLY ABOUT
IMPLEMENTATION OF HIS
LEGISLATION. AND.
THIS NOTION OF THE REGULAR USE
THAT THAT WAS REALLY THE SPIRIT
OF THAT BILL TO SORT OF SAY THIS
ISN'T WHAT I JUST IT'S NOT LIKE
A VACCINATION WERE NOT REGULARLY
USING IT EVERY SINGLE OCCASION
WE'RE GONNA TRY.
HOW HOW IS THAT ACTUALLY BEING
IMPLEMENTED AND IN TERMS THE
DEPARTMENTS GUIDANCE FOR THAT IN
A FIELD THAT HOWARD AND THERE IS
A PERSON TWO PIECES OF THAT I'M
GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO DOCTOR
JONES ONE IS DATA COLLECTION SO
WE'VE BEEN OUT IN THE FIELD
COLLECTING BILL? PATTERNS OF USE
AND AND THE ACTUAL DATA UP OF
WHAT'S BEING USED SO THAT CAN BE
VERY IMPORTANT. AND THEN AT
STRUCTURING OF SPECIES SPECIFIC
THE STEWARDSHIP GUIDELINES WHICH
WILL SPELL OUT VERY CLEARLY BOMB
GUIDELINES WITHOUT PRESCRIBING
YOU MUST PRACTICE VETERINARY
MEDICINE THIS WAY DOCTOR JONES
YEAH. WELL I THINK YOU ANSWERED
THE QUESTION PRETTY THOROUGHLY.
SO STUDENTS TELL ME MORE STEWART
TIMELINE ON THE CHAIRS ADVISED
SO WE'LL START ISSUING THOSE
DARKENED SO.
PART OF THE THE SENATOR HILLS
WATCH IT WAS A VERY
COLLABORATIVE BILL. AND THERE'S
THREE STE KINDA THREE LEGS TO IT
ONE OF THEM IS THE DATA
GATHERING AND ONE OF THEM IS TO.
I'D LINES
AND THAT'S OF MANDATE ON OUR
DEPARTMENT SO WE HAVE BEEN SOME
OF OUR EARLY.
HIRES ONCE THEY WERE TRAINED IN
AND WERE ABLE TO LOOK AT DO
LEADER LITERATURE RESEARCH.
SO THEY ARE NOW WORKING ON.
BOLDLY GENERAL OVERALL KINDA
STEWARDSHIP.
GUIDELINES WHICH INCLUDES
JUDICIOUS USE OF ANTIBIOTICS
WHICH ADDRESSES REGULARLY YOU
KNOW THE REGULAR PATTERN USE.
AS WELL AS FROM THERE THEM EACH
SPECIES IS DIFFERENT THEY EACH
FACE DIFFERENT PATHOGENS THE
MEDICINE THAT USED TO TREAT THEM
AS ARMY WERE ONE SPECIES HUMANS
BUT IS MORE COMPLEX IN THE
VETERINARY WORLD. SO OUR STAFF
OR WORKING ON GUIDELINES FOR
EACH PRODUCTION TYPE THAT WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS PROVIDE
TOOLS THAT VETERINARIANS AND
PRODUCERS CAN USE TO HELP THEM
MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS POSSIBLE
WHEN IT COMES TO USING
ANTIBIOTICS. THAT WE ARE WORKING
ON THAT AND THAT'S WHERE THOSE
SPECIFICS WILL BE A BETTER
ADDRESSING I BELIEVE THEY'LL BE
SATISFIED WHEN WE START
WILLINGNESS OUT ONLINE.
TIMELINE ON THE THIRD SO THE
TIMELINE THERE A LITTLE BIT.
WE INITIALLY WERE HOPING WE CAN
MOVE THEM RIGHT AWAY BUT WHAT WE
FOUND IS WE NEED A DATA BECAUSE
THERE'S NOT A LOT TO DATE OUT
THERE ON HOW AND WHY IT'S OUR-CURRENTLY BEING USED. SO NOW
WE'VE BEEN OUR CURRENT
APPROACHES WERE TYING THEM TO
SURVEYS AND STUDIES AND WE JUST
FINISHED. WHAT?
A BIG CAL CAPS SURVEY WE HAVE A.
AT DAIRY CAPS SURVEY GO INSPECT
SO. SO BASICALLY THEY'LL BE
ROLLED OUT KIND OF IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE THESE
DIFFERENT SURVEYS THE SPECIFIC
ONE SO PROBABLY. YOU KNOW OVER
THE NEXT GUIDELINES THEMSELVES
WILL BE ROLLED OUT WITH A
SERVICE LIKE WHEN YOU WHEN THE
SURVEY GOES OUT THEN YOU'RE
SAYING HERE'S OUR NEW.
SUGGESTS THAT A GUIDED TOWARDS
THE GUIDANCE YEAH RIGHT WELL
THAT. THAT WE'RE GOING TO INFORM
THE GUIDANCE AND NOT LET ME LET
ME LET ME TAKE A STEP BACK SO
THAT GENERAL OVERALL HERE SOME
GENERAL BEST PRACTICES WE ARE
FINISHING THOSE UP RIGHT NOW SO
THOSE WILL COME OUT IN PROBABLY
THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS.
THE.
AT LEAST THE ONES FOR
VETERINARIANS WERE WORKING
CLOSELY WITH THE VETERINARY
MEDICAL BOARD IN A TEAM OF
EXPERTS TO DEVELOP THOSE. THOSE
OF JUST GENERAL.
KIND JUDICIOUS USE OF ANNA BY
MICROBIAL STE BUT THEY DON'T DO
A LOT TO REALLY HELP INFORM
DECISIONS IN THE PIT FOR THE
PRACTICE OF MEDICINE. THOSE WILL
BE COMING THROUGH THE MORE
SPECIFIC DISEASE.
THAT ARE TARGETING A PRODUCTION
TYPES AND THOSE WILL TAKE LONGER
BECAUSE YOU DO HAVE TO HAVE TO
BE. OR MANDATED THAT THEIR
SCIENCE BASED SWEAT THREE BASED
ON INFORMATION SO THOSE WILL BE
ROLLED OUT.
PROBABLY FASTER AS WE GET
BETTER AT THEM BUT THE FIRST YOU
PROBABLY OVER THE NEXT YOU KNOW
YEAR.
FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCTION TYPE
WOULD SAY YOU YOU EXPECT YOUR
FIRST
SAID A STEWARDSHIP GUIDELINES BY
THE END OF THE YEAR.
YES.
AND IS THAT THIS IS THAT OUR
SPECIES BY SPECIES IS THAT HAVE
A ROLE IN ITS ITS NOT QUITE
SPECIES BY SPECIES IT'S VERY
WEAK RECALL OF PRODUCTION TYPE
SO IT'S LIKE IF YOU DID AN OLD
FOLKS HOME VERSUS A HOSPITAL
VERSUS AN OUTPATIENT SO. WE
MIGHT DO A COW CALF.
BRANCH TYPESETTING VERSES A YOU
KNOW A DAIRY VERSUS THAT DOUBLES
CAL'S SO. AND THERE'S ABOUT SIX
PROBABLY AS WE DID AND WE HAVE
TO AQUACULTURE WE HAVE A BIG
MANDATE SO IT'LL THERE'S LIKE
SIXTY.
I WOULD JUST SAY THAT THE.
IF I COULD MAKE A COMMENT THERE
THE WITH THE BEST PRACTICES
GOING OUT.
MEANWHILE DATA BEING GATHERED I
DON'T BELIEVE OUR VETS IN LIMBO
HERE WHERE THEY DON'T KNOW. HOW
HOW TO BE NOT THAT THERE'S A?
NEW COMPLIANCE MANDATE BUT THERE
ARE GOING TO BE.
THAT GUIDANCE COMING LATER AND
SORT OF HOW BIG GETS
START GETTING THAT INFORMATION
OUT THERE EARLY AND.
REALLY DOING THE EDUCATION
WITHIN THAT YEAH THERE HAS BEEN
EXTENSIVE OUTREACH FOR THE LAST
TWO YEARS TO TO. TO THE FIELD OF
PRACTICE AS WELL AS TO THE
PRODUCERS AND TO THEFEED STORES
ARE ALSO AN IMPORTANT PART OF
THIS. AND I DO THINK THIS FIRST
ROLLOUT ON JUDICIOUS USE AND
GENERAL GUIDELINES THAT WE OPE
WILL BE OUT BY THE END OF JUNE
WILL BE. WELL BUT REALLY KEEP
THE FAITH WITH OUR STAKEHOLDERS
AND WE'VE HAD VERY EXTENSIVE
STAKEHOLDER OUT WHICH AS WELL OF
ALL PARTIES ONE LAST THING THINK
FOR THE INDULGENCE SHARE BUT THE.
.
HOW YOUR SURVEY I MEAN RIGHT NOW
IT'S IT'S BASIS SELF REPORTING
FRAMEWORK ON REGULAR USE YOU
WOULD RECENT RELYING ON THE VETS
FOR? MULTIPLE AVENUES.
SO ONE OF THE THAT THE
SECRETARY MENTIONED ONE OF THE
WAYS WE'RE GATHERING DATA IS BY
LOOKING AT WHAT WAT ARE CALLED
VETERINARY FEED DIRECTIVES SO
THAT'S IT'S SIMILAR TO A
PRESCRIPTION IS JUST A DIFFERENT
NAME. BUT I'M THAT THE
VETERINARIAN RIGHTS WHEN WHEN
YOU KNOW WHEN THE ONLY AVENUE
FOR PROVIDING THE MEDICINE TO
THE ANIMAL SU FEED SO CAN YOU
BEAT IMAGINE POULTRY IT'S.
PART PRETTY MUCH THE ONLY WAY TO
GET OF MEDICINE TO AN ANIMAL. SO
WE DO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO
COLLECT THOSE AND WE ARE DOING
THAT SO THAT'S NOT REALLY
VOLUNTARY. THEM BUT THAT
INFORMATION IS USEFUL BUT REALLY
ONLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH MORE IN
DEPTH SURVEYS AND STUDIES THAT
WERE DOING SO THAT WE CAN LOOK
AT. WHAT ARE THE DISEASE
CHALLENGES YOU KNOW IN THIS AREA
WHAT IS THE RESULT AS FAR AS
RESISTANCE GOES SO ACTUALLY
LOOKING AT PATHOGENS ON THE
FARMS?
WHAT HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE TO KEEP
THE ANIMALS HEALTHY AS WELL AS
REDUCING A SCREEN WHAT'S WORKING
AND WHAT'S NOT WORKING SO SO
THAT'S THAT'S THE MORE? WHAT WE
BUT HAS BEEN TERMED BY OTHERS AS
NEW INVOLUNTARY WELL IT IS
VOLUNTARY FOUND THOSE SURVEYS
AND STUDIES?
ARE YOU FROM.
IT'S OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING
OTHER.
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT ARE
INTERESTED IN THE USE OF ANTI
MICROBIAL DRUGS ON LIFE STOCKS
IS SET FORTH IN SB TWENTY SEVEN.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS CRISTINA KARA
REPRESENTING THE CALIFORNIA
VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
HERE IN STRONG SUPPORT OF THE
CDF FACE REQUEST FOR SB TWENTY
SEVEN IMPLEMENTATION. AWAY ONE
APPLIED SENATOR HILL OF COURSE
AND THE CDFA FOR ALL OF THEIR
WORK ON THIS IMPORTANT EFFORT IT
IS TRULY THE MOST AGGRESSIVE
ANTIBIOTIC REDUCTION PROGRAM IN
THE COUNTRY.
AND TO SENATOR BY CASKETS
QUESTION THAT OUT OF THE
VETERINARIANS FEEL ABOUT THIS
WERE ALL IN A WE'VE BEEN A PART
OF THE STAKEHOLDER PROCESS FROM
THE BEGINNING HOW WE THINK THAT
THIS A LANGUAGE IS VERY DOABLE
AND IS FRANKLY VERY CLEAR. AND
TO SENATOR AYE NIELSEN'S POINT.
WE WORKED WITH SENATOR HILL ON
S. B. THREE SIX ONE WHICH WAS
PASSED IT REQUIRES US TO TAKE AT
LEAST ONE HOUR OF ANTIBIOTIC
RESISTANCE. ABOUT THE NEW
CUTTING EDGE INFORMATION.
UP AS PART OF OUR CONTINUING
EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS WE THINK
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO GET
SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE AND REALLY.
LEARNING WHAT'S IMPORTANT AND
AND WHAT'S NEW IN CHANGING.
I WOULD ALSO JUST LET THE THE
BODY KNOW THAT THE VETERINARY
MEDICAL BOARD IS ALSO GOING TO
HAVE FULL AUTHORITY TO INSPECT
RECORDS LOOK AT PATIENT FILES
AND IF THERE ARE PATTERNS OF
ABUSE THAT ARE AT OUTRAGEOUS.
THERE CAN BE EVERYTHING FROM
CITING FIND TO REVOCATION OF A
LICENSE SO WE DO HAVE THAT
ADDITIONAL LAYER OF PROTECTION
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
NEXT.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE JUSTIN
WITH THE CALIFORNIA CATTLEMEN'S
ASSOCIATION.
WANTED TO MAKE A FEW JUST BRIEF
COMMENTS I CERTAINLY SUPPORT.
THE PROPOSAL THAT'S BEFORE YOU
TODAY NOT TO BE ADOPTED WITHOUT
CONDITION.
YOU KNOW SB TWENTY SEVEN WAS
ADOPTED BACK IN TWENTY FIFTEEN
AND IT WAS A VERY.
CAREFULLY CRAFTED.
BILL.
WITH LOTS OF DIFFERENT
STAKEHOLDERS YOU KNOW THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE CDFA.
CERTAINLY OUR STAKEHOLDERS AND
THEN FOLKS ARE SORT OF ON THE
ADVOCACY SIDE.
AND I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR
THAT WHAT TOOK PLACE IN SB
TWENTY SEVEN WAS NOT WINDOW
DRESSING. IT WAS A SIGNIFICANT
CHANGE IN THE WAY THAT WE
ADMINISTER AND USE ANTIBIOTICS.
IN THE STATE AS IT RELATES TO
LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION NO OTHER
STATE.
AND THE COUNTRY HAS THIS PAPER
PROGRAM AND I'LL GIVE YOU ONE
EXAMPLE AND THAT'S
THE FACT THAT S. B. TWENTY SEVEN
WHICH BEGAN GENERATE ONE OF THIS
YEAR. A ELIMINATES ANY OVER THE
COUNTER SALE OF ANTIBIOTICS
THERE WERE STILL SEVERAL
ANTIBIOTICS THAT WERE SOLD AT AT
CITY IF A LICENSE FACILITIES.
THAT ARE NOT FEDERALLY SCRIPTED
THOSE ARE NOW OFF THE SHELF TO
ANY USE HAS TO BE DONE.
THROUGH THROUGH VETERINARIAN
OKAY THAT WAS A HUGE DEAL AND
ONE THAT IT IT IT WAS A TOUGH
CONVERSATION AND DIFFICULT THING
FOR OUR FOLKS. A TO HAVE TO
ENGAGE IN YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID
ABOUT TO THE POINT ON ON WHAT
WERE THE INTENT OF THIS PROGRAM.
IT'S CERTAINLY ABOUT LOOKING AT
USE BUT IT'S ALSO ABOUT LOOKING
AT RESISTANCE RIGHT RESISTANCE
IS THE PROBLEM.
BUT WE HAVE A VESTED INTEREST OF
LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS TO ENSURE
THAT ARE THAT ARE ANTIBIOTICS OR
EFFECTIVE.
AND EFFECTIVENESS.
REMAINS THAT WE HAVE LITTLE
BENEFIT IF WE HAVE ANIMAL
DISEASES THAT WE CANNOT TREAT.
WITH ANTIBIOTICS.
THAT DOESN'T HELP US IT
CERTAINLY DOESN'T HELP ANIMAL
HEALTH AND WELFARE.
YOU KNOW WE ARE WORKING VERY
DILIGENTLY VERY HARD.
WITHOUT.
WITH CDFA.
YOU KNOW YOU MENTIONED.
SENATOR STERN TO CAL CAPS
SURVEY.
OR IT WAS MENTIONED I'M SORRY
I'M SURE YOUR PARENTS PROBABLY
RECEIVE THAT.
IT'S A VERY EXTENSIVE SURVEY A
ONE.
AS KNOWLEDGE.
BEING A RANCHER MYSELF AS WELL
AS HELPING CDFA DISTRIBUTE THAT
THEY RECEIVED EXCELLENT FEEDBACK
AND I WOULD SAY A GOOD RESPONSE
FROM THE INDUSTRY AND I THINK
OUR FOLKS KNOW THAT. IN ORDER
FOR THIS PROGRAM TO BE
SUCCESSFUL THEY HAVE TO
PARTICIPATE SO. OTHERS ARE JUST
A FEW COMMENTS AND.
AND WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT.
THAT WE DO SUPPORT THIS MOVING
FORWARD TO THANK YOU.
X..
GOT IT CHANGES DOWN LOMA.
BUT A SEVERELY WE HAVE THE
GOVERNOR GREENFIELD ASSOCIATION
THE SUZUKA CALIFORNIA EGG
FARMERS AND THE PACIFIC EGG AND
POULTRY ASSOCIATION GET
LIVESTOCK.
PRODUCERS BUT ALSO THE PROVIDERS
OF OF LIVESTOCK NUTRIENTS.
THE THE THAT'S THE TWENTY SEVEN
DID ALSO HAVE AS WELL FEDERAL
LAW. A CHANGES VERY RECENTLY
INTO THE THE VETERINARY FEED
DIRECTIVE ON HOW YOU HANDLE THE
ANTIBIOTICS THAT ARE PROVIDED
SPECIFICALLY THROUGH THE
VETERINARY FEED DIRECTIVE. AND
OF RECORD KEEPING AND.
UP SEPARATION OF MATERIALS AND
ALSO WORKING WITH THE THE.
FOOD SAFETY MODERNIZATION ACTS
ALL THESE REQUIREMENTS AND
RECORDKEEPING WITH THIS IS A
THIS IS THE MOST PROGRESSIVE LAW
IN THE COUNTRY BY LEAPS AND
BOUNDS AND OBVIOUSLY THE FEDERAL.
FOLKS HAVE DONE SOME STEPS
WE TAKE IT EVEN FURTHER SO FROM
THAT STANDPOINT WE.
SUPPORT THIS PCP AND AND HAVE
AND IMPLEMENTATION SB TWENTY
SEVEN WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
STAKEHOLDERS A AND COULD
CONTINUE TO KEEP THAT BALANCE.
OF THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
SPECTRUM AS WE NEED MATERIALS TO
BE ABLE TO DO MEDICALLY
IMPORTANT TREATMENT OF ANIMALS
AND THAT'S. THE KEY AND THE
VETERINARIAN PROFESSIONALS WHO
OF YOU KNOW HAVE MEDICAL DEGREES.
VENTURE MEDICAL DEGREES.
THEIR DISCRETION TO BE ABLE TO
YOU HAVE ACCESS TO MATERIALS
REAL TREAT ANIMALS LONG GOING
THANK YOU.
BUT IT'S OUR CARE MEMBERS TRICIA
GUARANTEE WITH AGRICULTURAL
COUNCIL CALIFORNIA BE REPRESENT
OVER FIFTEEN THOUSAND FARMERS
AND PRODUCERS FROM THROUGHOUT
THE STATE VRY MUCH IN SUPPORT
OF. THE FAA'S BCP ON THIS ISSUE.
AS IT DOES IN SO MANY OTHER WAYS
CALIFORNIA'S LEADING THE WAY. ON
THIS REALLY CRITICAL ISSUES THAT
WE ENCOURAGE YOUR SUPPORT AS
IT'S WRITTEN THINK.

WE HAVE IS MISTER MILAN I SAID
HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT IT.
WE'RE NOT SO CONCERNED ABOUT
THE HOBBY FARMS FFA IT'S THE
LARGER HERDS WERE VETERINARIANS
ARE UNDER PRESSURE TO ADMINISTER
THESE ANTIBIOTICS IN LARGE TO OF
THE CROSS LARGE HERDS THAT'S
WHAT OCCURRED IN THE PAST.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM WE'RE TRYING
TO FIX
SO.
EVEN THOUGH WE TRUST THEIR
MEDICAL EXPERTISE.
DOT STICKERS THAT PRESSURE WHEN
YOU ADMINISTER.
FOR FIVE THOUSAND WORDS A LARGE
SO I WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE
EXACT LANGUAGE HERE IN THE
REGULAR USE AS OPPOSED TO
JUDICIOUS USE OF. THANK YOU OKAY.

GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS TO AT THE TIME TRIBES IN
CALIFORNIA INDEPENDENT PETROLEUM
ASSOCIATION. SUONA ADD OUR
COMMENTS TO THE WORK WE PUT IN
LAST JUNE SB SEVEN TWENTY FOUR.
SUPPORT AMONG THEM THE FUNDING
FULLY.
THANK YOU.
THE OPPOSITION. WILL CLOSE
PUBLIC COMMENT BRING IT BACK.
MEMBERS WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION
OF IN VEGAS.
MOTION BY SENATOR STERN PLEASE
CALL THE ROLL BECAUSE. I DIDN
ASSN.
MCGUIRE.
STERN.
OKAY THAT'S FOUR ZERO THAT'S A
BALLOTS TURNED ISSUE NUMBER
FIFTY THREE. THE ENFORCEMENT
PROGRAM.
PLEASE SURE THERE ARE.
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS I WOULD LIKE TO
I BELIEVE THEY WERE PROBABLY THE
ONLY DEPARTMENT IN THE STATE
THAT DOESN'T HAVE AS A
REGULATORY PROGRAM THAT DOESN'T
ACTUALLY HAPPEN ENFORCEMENT UNIT.
.
WHO? WOULD MANAGE ABOUT TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND WELLS IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. AND. WE ARE
FIRST GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THIS
COMPLIANCE WITH THE HEALTH AND
SAFETY LAWS ENVIRONMENT LAWS
ASSOCIATED WITH PRODUCTION. HIGH
THAT COMES IN THE FORM USE EVEN
NOTICING VIA OF VIOLATION.
AND THEN. PULL IT BUT WE DO
ACTED OUT AS WE GO OUT TO DO AN
INSPECTION TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE.
OR THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ONE INSPECTOR
PER TWENTY EIGHT HUNDRED.
WELLS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
HA THAT'S FAR FEWER INSPECTORS
IN MOST OTHER OIL PRODUCING
STATES. AND OUR GOAL HERE WERE
BASICALLY ASKING APARTMENT IS
ENFORCEMENT ITEM SO WELL TWO
PIECES TO THE SANDERS INSPECTORS
IN USING FORCE ME. TO ONE AS IT
WILL GET THE INSPECTORS IN A
MINUTE BUT THERE IS A.
ONE IS ACTUALLY THE INSPECTIONS
INTO IS ACTUALLY HAVE A GROUP OF
PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SKILLS TO
PUT TOGETHER A CASE. THE.
TO.
ISSUE.
A AN ORDER OF COMPLIANCE OR TO
ISSUE A FINE
I AND WE BASICALLY NEED A TEAM
TO DO THAT.
IT'S FROM BROUGHT HER ATTENTION
THERE'S LESS
PERMITS BEING REQUESTED THERE'S
PRODUCTION IS DOWN PEOPLE TALK
ABOUT THAT. WHY NOT SIMPLY SHIFT
PEOPLE FROM?
PERMITTING TO ENFORCEMENT.
WELL WE HAVE DO WE HAVE TO IT
WE'VE. MULTIPLEFULL OF
RESPONSIBILITIES ONE IS TO
PERMIT A NEW PROJECTS AND AND
THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING
HERE IS COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO
IT. ALRIGHT THE SAME TIME WE'RE
ALL SUPPOSED TO ENSURE THAT
CURRENT OIL PRODUCTION
THROUGHOUT THE STATE IS DONE IN
A SAFE WAY. ARE SO FOR EXAMPLE
THERE IS AN AP STORY JUST LAST
WEEK RAN NATIONALLY POINTED OUT
THAT. FOR. THE WELL OPERATIONS
OFF THE COAST OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA HAD OVER FIVE HUNDRED.
FIVE HUNDRED AND FORTY THREE
VIOLATIONS.
AND.
WE LOOKED AT THOSE AND WE'VE
HAD ONLY BEEN ABLE TO ENSURE
COMPLIANCE OF FOR ALL THAT FOR
FOR FOR ABOUT. EIGHTY PERCENT OF
THEM.
AND THAT WAS BASICALLY WE SOME
OF THE BODIES TO GO OUT AND
ENSURE THAT WHEN WE SENT OUT A
NOTE AND THOSE IN VIOLATION THAT
THE TO COMPLY WITH THIS MEAN
THIS MEANS YOU ACTUALLY OF A
HIGHER RISK.
OF A LEAK A HIGHER RISK OF A AN
EXPOSURE AND A PROBLEM SINCE IT
WAS THAT WELL.
IT WE WANT TO KEEP ABILITY TO
ENSURE THAT OPERATE I THINK THE
INDUSTRY DOES TOO BUT THEN SURE
THAT ALL THE OPERATIONS ARE DONE
IN A SAFE WAY. SO I DON'T THINK.
THE IDEA THE IDEA THAT WE SHOULD
POSTPONE THE SAFETY.
WHILE WE TRY AND AND AND
INCREASE OUR EFFICIENCY ISSUING
PERMITS I I JUST DON'T THINK WE
BEEN DOING THAT. I I WOULD LIKE
TO TALK LIBERTY ONE TYPE OF THE
PERMITS THAT HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT
A LITTLE BIT NO I'M JUST I'M I'M
I'M WONDERING ON THAT SIDE IF
THE PARENT IS WE'VE.
YOU HEAR. THE BUZZ ALTHOUGH THAT
WAS FAVORITE THAT FOR THE BE PUT
MORE THAN VICE AND WE.
WE WE HAD A WE ARE THIS IS A
ISSUES BEEN BROUGHT TO US VERY
CLEARLY AND AND WE I THINK WE'VE
RESPONDED THAT.
WE ARE OUR GOALS ARE TRYING TO
GO A DO THE EVALUATION FOR NEW
PROJECTS AS EFFICIENTLY AS
POSSIBLE.
YEAH I AND LET ME JUST A I TO
TALK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE I'M
GOING TO WHAT IS A PERMIT FOR A
NEW PROJECT. THIS IS NOT YOU
KNOW THIS NOT TO ISSUE A PERMIT
FOR A FOOD TRUCK ONLY EXPLAIN
REALLY HOW SERIOUS IT SAYS. SO A
NEW PROJECT FOR EXAMPLE MIKE SAY
WE WANT TO NOW START INJECTING
WITH MAYBE TWENTY INJECTION
WELLS INTO AN AREA ON THE GROUND
WHERE THERE'S NEVER BEEN
INJECTION BEFORE.
OKAY SO IN OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO
ENSURE WHEN WE START INJECTING
OIL FLUIDS BACK DOWN ON THE
GROUND THESE AREAS THAT IT'S NOT
CAN END UP IN GROUND WATER. FOR
THIS GROUP PROVIDES THE WATER
FOR PRODUCING CROPS OR FOR
DRINKING.
WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL? THAT
ENTAILS WE HAVE TO ENSURE THE
TECH INTEGRITY OF EVERY OLD WELL
HEAD ANYWHERE IN WHAT'S CALLED
THE AREA REVIEW AND IN IT AND WE
IN FEEDBACK ON WATER BOARD WE
ALSO HAVE TO GO OUT AND CHECK
RURAL DOMESTIC WATER WELLS. THAT
AREN'T BUILT THESE KINDS OF
STANDARDS TO ENSURE THAT THEY IN
FACT DON'T PRODUCE PROVIDE A
STRAW BUT WHEN YOU START PUTTING
PRESSURE DOWN THE NEW PROJECT.
IT STARTS COMING UP SOMEWHERE
ELSE WHERE THERE'S A WILL IS AT
WHERE THERE'S A PROBLEM CASING
AND A VERY OLD WELL SO IT'S VERY
LABOR INTENSIVE ASIDE JUST
PEOPLE SENATOR DESK. IT MEANS WE
ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY HAVE TO GO
OUT TO SITES WE HAVE TO GO
THROUGH VARIOUS RECORDS WE MIGHT
HAVE TO GO VISIT PRIVATE
PROPERTY.
A WELL AND TAKES HIS WILD
ACTUALLY CAN GET ACCESS TO THE
WELL IT AND TO SEE YOU KNOW WHAT
WHAT KIND OF RECORDS THEY MIGHT
HAVE ON THE DRINKING WATER WELL
SO IT'S A VERY COMPLEX ACTIVITY.
THAT ASIDE.
IT STILL SHOULD BE DONE AS
EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE AND WE
FULLY AGREE. BUT THE IN THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS SEVERAL NEW SIT
RESPONSIBILITIES OF INPUT ON
THAT PROCESS ONE. OUR TECHNICAL
AND SCIENTIFIC REVIEW PROCESS
HAS BEEN LEGISLATURE'S ASKED US
TO MAKE THAT MUCH MORE CAREFUL
AND THOROUGH PROCESS.
AND WE DO THAT SO ON THE ABOUT A
SCIENCE THAT WE HAVE TO PUT IT
AND IS QUITE A BIT GREATER. THEN
THE LEGISLATURE AND HAS ALSO
ASKED THE WATER BOARD. TO BE AN
EQUAL PARTNER AND THEN ALSO
REVIEWING A SEA OF A NEW BODY
WAS A MUCH YOU KNOW THAT YOU
HAVE THAT WATER BOARDS. WITH AN
EXPANDED ROLE OF REVIEWING THE
ST YOU THIS INFORMATION. IN THE
THIRD PIECE TO IT IS THIS IS
ACTUALLY YOU KNOW THERE'S NEW
REQUIREMENTS OF HEAT. OPERATORS
HAVING SUPPLY THERE'S WITH
THERE'S MORE THOROUGH SCIENCE IN
INFORMATION THEY'RE BEING ASKED
FOR TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS AS
IS IT'S A SAFE NEW PROJECT SO IS
A LOT MORE WORK SO EVEN IF WE
WERE IS FISHING IS POSSIBLE IT
STILL COULD BE LONGER. PROCESS
THAN IT WAS SAY SIX YEARS AGO.
BUT WITH THAT I WILL SAY THERE'S
BEEN BUMPS THERE'S BEEN
INEFFICIENCIES AND AND WE'VE
RESPONDED TO THAT WE'VE GOT A
LOT OF GOOD FEEDBACK AND I'LL
SAY FOR EXAMPLE THERE'S BEEN
TIMES WHERE IT SEEMS LIKE US.
AND THE REGIONAL BOARDS WATER
BOARDS OUR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS
WE SHOULD SO WE'VE NOW DEVELOPED
ANYMORE YOU WITH THE WATER
BOARDS ON AN AGREED UPON PROCESS.
WE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THAT
PROCESS FOR OPERATORS HAS A
MINISTRY AND SPURS IT SHOULD BE
LIKE WHERE IS OUR PERMIT. SO WE
HAVE NOW. I CREATED A WEBSITE
WHERE YOU CAN LOOK IN REAL TIME
ON THE DASHBOARD THE STATUS YOUR
PERMIT SECOND. IT'S COMING TO
THE OTHER LEGITIMATE COMPLAIN
IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU YOU DO A
REMODEL INSPECTOR KEEPS COMING
BACK AND GIVES YOU A CHECKLIST
FIVE TIMES WELL THAT'S KIND OF
THE COMPLAINT WE CUT THAT. THAT
OPERATOR SUBMIT INFORMATION
FRONT WE START THE REVIEW AND
THE RELY SYSTEM THE TO ING A
SCIENCE NOT THERE. AND WE GO
BACK TO THEM SO WE'VE WORKING
WITH OPERATORS WHO DEVELOPED A
COMPREHENSIVE CHECKLIST OF THE
INFORMATION THEY NEED SAID TO
SUBMIT. THAT SO BASICALLY SO
THAT IT'S A LITTLE LESS OF THIS
PROCESS ARE HAVING TO GO BACK
AND FORTH.
AND SO ALL THE STEPS WE'VE TAKEN
BASICALLY TO TRYING NOW IMPROVE
THE EFFICIENCY TO THE SCIENCE DO
THE REVIEW BUT MEANWHILE YES
THEY FEEL THIS PROCESS CAN BE
MORE EFFICIENT I THINK WE CAN
GET MORE FACTOR. BUT MOST THESE
ISSUES I'VE RAISED ARE NOT ABOUT
THROWING MORE BODIES AT THE
PROCESS
YOU'RE FOR EXAMPLE EIGHTY
PERCENT OF THE THAT DEPENDING
PERMITS RIGHT NOW. ACTUALLY
THEY'RE WAITING ON INFORMATION
FROM THE OPERATORS OKAY ENDING
IN GIVEN THIS IS THE SOMEWHAT
AND THIS IS NOT MORE INFORMATION
BEING ASKED OF THEM. SO IT'S NOT
LIKE I'M JUST MORE PEOPLE WOULD
NECESSARILY MAKE THIS HAPPEN THE
OTHER FACT IS.
THIS IS NOT A CUT THIS IS NOT A.
CONSISTENT. NUMBER OF
APPLICATIONS APPLICATIONS GO WAY
DOWN IN THE GO WAY UP SO IN THE
LAST COUPLE YEARS AGO FOR
EXAMPLE GO BACK TWO THOUSAND
FOURTEEN WHEN. PRICE OIL WENT
WAY DOWN APPLICATIONS DROPPED
WAY OFF.
AND IT AND THEN AS APPLICATION
IT AS OIL PRICES GO BACK UP WE
GET BIG SLUGS OF APPLICATIONS
AND SO YOU KNOW IT'S AGAIN IT'S
NOT EVEN PROCESS ANYHOW THE
MESSAGES. WERE WORKING WITH
INDUSTRY WE TALK TO THEM.
EVERY WEEK EVERY DAY IN TERMS OF
YOU KNOW YOU TRY TO WORK THROUGH
THIS PROCESS AND MAKE IT MORE
WORK BETTER FOR THEM SO THEY
KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON THEY CAN
GET SOME A CERTAINTY AND AND
WHAT'S GOING ON.
WE FULLY RECOGNIZE THAT I
BELIEVE WE CAN MAKE IT MORE
EFFICIENT SHORTENED.
THANK YOU FOR THAT A CLUB
KITCHENS CENTER NIELSEN.
WELL I DON'T UNDERESTIMATE.
BY YOUR.
I CONSIDERED A.
SLATED.
RECITATION OF RESPONSIBILITY.
CALIFORNIA AND I JUST TOOK THE
MACRO CALIFORNIA NOW SIX GOING
DOWN FROM SECOND.
THE OIL PRODUCING NOW THAT'S
OVER PERIOD OF TIME THAT'S NOT
YEAR BY YEAR BY YEAR THAT'S NOT
BASED ON. JOSH OIL PRICES.
THAT'S BASED ON WHAT A
PROHIBITIVE CIRCUMSTANCES IN
CALIFORNIA MAKE PEOPLE NOT WANT
TO.
THE DRILLING I HAPPEN TO BE A
GOOD FRIEND OF THE GOVERNOR.
AND YOU DO HAVE A BACKLOG. WHY
HAVE YOU? NOT BEEN ABLE TO BRING
THAT BACKLOG DOWN.
AND WHY ARE TO WORKING ON YOUR
PERMITTING. AND STAFFING UP FOR
THAT.
LIMITED BEFORE THAT A BIG PIECES
WERE NOT THE ONLY REVIEWER THE
OTHERS OF A NEW A COMPLETE
REVIEW DONE AT THE WATER BOARD
SO I'M REGIONAL VALUE. IN YOUR
SO THAT WE ARE SPEED HOW HOW
DOES HOW DOES WATER BOARD DRIVE
YOU.
TO INCREASE YOUR STAFF.
WHAT I SAID I DON'T FOR US TO
SPEED IT UP I REALLY DON'T THINK
IT'S NOT PRIMARILY IT'S NOT
REALLY A STAFFING ISSUE PER SE
IT'S REALLY IT'S WHEN? IT'S THE
SCIENCE IT'S IT'S GETTING THE
PROCESS MORE EFFICIENT AND AND
AND WE'RE ALL GOING THROUGH A
CHANGE TO A LOT OF NEW
REQUIREMENTS LAST COUPLE YEARS
IT'S BEEN ROUGH REFERENCE
REFERENCE THREE. AND I THINK WE
ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS A MORE
EFFICIENT PROCESS WE WE'RE
ALREADY DOING THEIR STAFF
DOESN'T MEAN EFFICIENCY GENERATE
MORE STAFF MEANS LESS EFFICIENT.
NO I'M SAYING WE'RE WE'RE NOT
ASKING FOR MORE STAFF ON THE
PERMITS WE THINK WE CAN MAKE IT
MORE EFFICIENT WITHOUT MORE
STAFF BEING THROWN AT AT THE
PROCESS.
THIS IS. THE STAFF REQUEST HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE
PERMITTING THE STAFF REQUESTS
ACTUALLY HAS TO OUR BILL TO
INSPECT BLOWOUT PREVENTERS KNOW
EVERYTHING THE FEEL YEAH.
NOW.
YOU DO HOW MANY DOMESTIC WELL
INSPECTIONS DID YOU DO LAST YEAR
AND UNDER WHAT STATUTORY
AUTHORITY. DIDN'T HAVE THE
AUTHORITY.
TO DO THIS WITH DIDN'T AFFECT
DOMESTIC WELLS YOU.
WELL IT'S A WALL OF WATER BOARD
ISSUE BUT WHAT TO EXPECT A
DOMESTIC WELL WE HAVE TO HAVE
THE PERMISSION OF THE OWNER.
OKAY.
AND THAT'S A PROBLEM SOMETIMES
AND YOU SAY NO WELL THAT'S MY
POINT DAY I THOUGHT YOU WERE
IMPLYING THAT YOU HAVE STATUTORY
AUTHORITY TO DO THAT NO NO NO
WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT'S THAT
COMPLICATES IT BECAUSE WHEN IN
THE WATER BOARD SAY WELL.
THERE'S SOME DOMESTIC WELLS IN
THIS AREA HAVE BEEN THERE A LONG
TIME YOU KNOW SHOULD WE BE
CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR WE WANT
YOU TO LOOK INTO IT. WE ARE THEN
OR BECAUSE SOMEONE AT THE MERCY
OF WHETHER THE PRIVATE OWNER
WANTS TO SHARE INFORMATION ABOUT
THEIR WELL ENOUGH. THAT WILL
LEAD THE DISEASE GROUNDWATER
LEGISLATION EXPRESSLY. EXEMPTED
DOMESTIC WELLS PASS.
ELIOT WE HAVE A COMMENT FINANCE
LET'S OPEN UP PUBLIC HEARING
THIS IS.
ISSUE NUMBER FIFTY THREE ON
ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM.
WE HAVE.
SPEAKER.
BUT WHEN YOU MENTION THAT THAT
REAP. REPORT OF THE FIVE HUNDRED
AND FORTY THREE VIOLATIONS WITH
THEIR FINES THAT WERE ISSUED ON
THAT IT IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF
VIOLATIONS.
WELL IN THAT CASE TO THE SYSTEM
SOURCES OF VIOLATIONS ONE WAS
RINCON ISLAND. OBJECT QUITE A
NUMBER OF THEM AND WE'VE WORKED
WITH THE STATE LANDS WE
BASICALLY TAKING. A CONTRACT
CONTROL OF THAT IN OUR THE STATE
IS NOW MEDIATING OR FIXING ALL
THOSE PROBLEMS. ANOTHER CHUNK OF
THOSE VIOLATIONS WAS PLATFORM
HOLLY. YOU KNOW WHICH NOW IS
BEING PLUGIN ABANDONED IS
EXEMPLIFIED ABANDONED.
IF THERE'S.
BUT WHAT I WILL SAY IS.
YOU MIGHT ALSO SEEN IN NEWS
ABOUT A WEEK AGO. THAT WE ISSUED
THE LARGEST FIND THE STATE EVER
HAS AGAINST AN OPERATOR THEY HAD.
BUT FIFTEEN HUNDRED VIOLATIONS
IT WAS A A FINE OF TWELVE POINT
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
THERE'S NEVER BEEN A FINE LIKE
I'M CALIFORNIA FOR AN OPERATOR
THAT ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS.
IT'S WHEN YOU DON'T WANT TO BE
NUMBER ONE.
PUBLIC COMMENT. BILL HOURLY
BERMAN WORKING GROUP WE SUPPORT
THIS BCP AS WELL AS THE OTHER
WHEN I REALLY TO INSPECTIONS.
WHY BECAUSE DOCTOR NEEDS THE
PEOPLE THERE FINALLY? AFTER MANY
DECADES OF NEGLECT AND REALLY
BEING.
A YES MANNER YES AGENCY TO THE
OIL COMPANIES ARE DOING THEIR
JOB AS YOU KNOW SENATE WITKOWSKI
WE STARTED IN TWENTY ELEVEN WITH
DOCTOR SAYING WE DON'T EVEN
FRACKING CALIFORNIA. WHICH LED
TO FRACKING LEGISLATION THAT
SAID YOU SHALL REGULATE FRACKING
WHICH THEY FINALLY ADMITTED THEY
DO. THAT IS BEING DONE IN THE
STATE AND THEN WE FOUND OUT THE
YOU I SEE PROGRAM WAS A MASS THE
UNDERGROUND STORAGE.
PROGRAM HAD PROBLEMS DAGR
ADMITTED A LAW THAT SAID ROAD
MAPS AND PLANS TO DO IT BUT
FINALLY. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS
THEY HAVE BIG BEYOND KICKSTARTED.
THERE CLEANING UP THE OR IT
THERE REGULATIONS PAVED HAD
INITIATIVES BEFORE THIS BODY TO
IMPROVE THEIR PERFORMANCE AND
THOSE WERE PASSED AND BECAME LAW.
SAID WE THINK WHAT THEY'RE DOING
IS JUST STANDARD OPERATING
PROCEDURE FOR A GOOD STATE
REGULATORY BODY AND THEY SHOULD
OLYMPIA ALLOW THAT. ON THE
SLOWDOWN OF PERMITTING THAT THE
OIL COMPANIES ARE COMPLAINING
ABOUT.
ON THE PRICE OF OIL GLOBALLY
CLEARLY THAT IS THE LARGEST
EFFECT ON DRILLING CALIFORNIA
BUT WE HAVE TO LOOK A
DOMESTICALLY TO CALIFORNIA'S
DROP DOWN BECAUSE. THE STATE OF
SOUTH DAKOTA NORTH DAKOTA EXCUSE
ME IS PRODUCING A LOT CHEAPER
LIGHTER CRUDE THING CALIFORNIA
CAN THAT'S BEEN SHIPPED Y. OUT
OF THE COUNTRY NOW TO AS WELL AS.
DOMESTICALLY TAXES ADDITIVES TO
CRUDE IN CURRENT AND THAT'S OUR
MAIN.
PRODUCER IN THE STATE IS HEAVY
AND THE POPE REFINERIES OVER
TIME OF RETOOL TO BE ABLE. TO
USE IT EFFECTIVELY BUT IT'S JUST
MORE EXPENSIVE TO PRODUCE OIL IN
CALIFORNIA I THINK THOSE ARE THE
FACTORS NOT. ADDITIONAL
ENFORCEMENT REGULATIONS ARE
SLOWING IT DOWN SO I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT RECOGNIZE THE.
THE CONTEXT T THE DOCKERS
TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING
BECOMING A TRANSPARENT EFFECTIVE
AND EFFICIENT AGENCY WORSE
BEFORE IT WAS WHATEVER THE OIL
COMPANIES NEEDED I WANT TO SAY.
WHO TRIED AND SAY YES TO THE
ASSEMBLY TO THAT AS I'VE WORKED
ON THIS FOR SEVEN YEARS NOW?
THAT I'VE SAID TO PEOPLE THE OIL
COMPANIES IN THE STATE GENERALLY
DO A GOOD JOB WE DON'T SEIZE
BLOW OUTS AND SPILLS AND
POLLUTING OF HAVE STREAMS AND I
CAME TO YOU CENTER WIECKOWSKI.
WE SAID SHOULD THERE BE A
MORATORIUM ON FRACKING WHILE WE
WAIT TO REGULATE IT YOU ASKED ME
IS THERE A SMOKING GUN I SAID I
FIND NO EVIDENCE OF POLLUTION
FROM THIS. NOW THE UNDERGROUND
INJECTION CONTROL PROGRAM WAS A
DIFFERENT MATTER THEY WERE
ALLOWING A BAD WATER DEVOID
PRODUCE WATER BE PUT INTO GOOD
OFFERS DIFFERENT ISSUE. BUT.
IN GENERAL THE OIL COMPANIES
HERE DOING A GOOD JOB I THINK
THE REGIONAL WATER BOARD WAS
ALSO FALLING WAY DOWN ON THE JOB
THEY HAD ONE AND A HALF. PEE Y.
WORKING ON THIS ISSUE WE CAME
BEFORE ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO THE
CENTRAL VALLEY BOARD THAT NOW
I'VE TWENTY TWO OR TWENTY THREE
PY. AT NAY FACTOR SAYS THAT
THANK YOU WE WERE ALL ABOUT
AGRICULTURE WE WERE NEGLECTING
THE OIL PROGRAM IN CURRENT
COUNTY AND NOW THEY'RE ON IT NOW
THAT MAY MEAN. A LITTLE MORE FEW
MORE DAYS RATHER HEY JOE WHAT
YOU NEED TODAY LET ME SIGN THAT
OFF WHICH IS THE WAY IT WENT IN
KERN COUNTY FOR A HUNDRED YEARS.
THAT HAS CHANGED AND THAT'S THE
WAY LIFE GOES WE'VE AS SUPPORT
TO BE CP'S THANK YOU.
PEOPLE CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING AND
THAT WAS A. LET'S GO WITH THAT
VICE CHAIR.
.
CHAIRMAN. SORRY THERE'S ANOTHER
PERSON PUBLIC PUBLIC COMIC LET'S
COME BACK TO.
CENTER NIELSEN CENTER STERN.
UP THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN HA
GOOD AFTERNOON MEMBERS BE
ANTHONY THOMAS TRIP ANY.
CALIFORNIA INDEPENDENT PETROLEUM
ASSOCIATION MISTER CHAIRMAN OR
TWO ISSUES.
DIVISION GROWTH.
AND A BACKLOG.
OF SO ALLOW ME TO BE CLEAR THAT.
SUPER HAS.
A VERY MUTUAL RESPECT
THE DIVISION.
AND WE BELIEVE THAT WE'VE
WORKED WELL TOGETHER WITH THEM
OVER THE YEARS SOLOMON TO BE
CLEAR ABOUT THAT.
WE'VE ALWAYS SUPPORTED.
THE BCP'S.
THE IS THE FIRST TIME AND WE ARE
HERE IN PUBLIC.
OPPOSING THE BCP'S.
FACT REMAINS.
ADOPTION IS DOWN.
THE DIVISION HAS GROWN.
PRODUCTION IS DOWN THE DIVISION
HAS GROWN. BUT WE'RE SIMPLY
SAYING IS THAT IF YOU ALLOW US
TO CONTINUE OUR WORK.
WHAT THE DIVISION REGARDING
THESE TRANSPARENCY ISSUES
TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT ARE
FACTUALLY IN FRONT OF US? WE
WOULD APPRECIATE THAT AS DID
YOUR COUNTERPARTS IN THE
ASSEMBLY.
INSOFAR AS THE PERMIT ISSUE IS
CONCERNED LET ME BE VERY CLEAR
THAT IF IT'S FUN THINGS A BIT
HARD FOR ME TO BE HERE.
AND TWO REASON BE BELIEVED THAT
THEIR EIGHTY SIX PENDING
PROJECTS
FROM DOZENS OF COMPANIES
INCLUDING MAJORS AND THAT THEIR
ENGINEERS ARE SIMPLY FAILING TO
RESPOND TO DIVERSE NEEDS. WHAT I
BELIEVED THAT THAT VISION HAS
NOT ADDRESSED IS YOU SHOULD ADD
IT SHOWS MALTESE PROJECTS ARE A
MONTH? IF NOT YEARS OLD HAVE HAD
MULTIPLE DIFFERENT PEOPLE
ASSIGNED. EVER HAD MULTIPLE.
DIFFERENT PEOPLE ASSIGNED SO
WHEN YOU HAVE MULTIPLE PEOPLE
THE SIGN AND THEY HAVE TO START
THE PROCESS OVER OF COURSE
YOU'RE GOING TO ASK QUESTIONS
BECAUSE THEY ARE NOW THE NEW
LEAD. OF COURSE GOING TO PROCEED
PRESENT QUESTIONS.
TO THE COMPANIES BECAUSE THEY
ARE NOW THE LEAD AND THEY WANT
TO FIND OUT THE NEED AGREED IT
WHAT AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
SO THAT IS A CONTRIBUTOR TO THE
BACKLOG BATTERS CONTRIBUTOR TO
THE ISSUE THAT WE ARE SPEAKING
WITH TODAY.
THE GROWTH.
BUT THE DIVISION ASSIST THESE
ARE THIS IS MONEY COMING FROM
THESE COMPANIES IT'S NOT GENERAL
FUND DOLLARS.
SO I THINK IS RATHER PRUDENT FOR
US TO ASK WHAT IS THE
ACCOUNTABILITY.
WHAT DO YOU DO ON THAT OUR
DOLLARS AND WHAT YOU PLAN TO DO
THESE DOLLARS IN THE FUTURE IF
THIS WERE A DEPARTMENT FUNDED BY
THE JOURNAL FUND? THIS BODY
SHOULD BE IT WOULD BE UP IN ARMS
AS YOU SHOULD BE.
SO I THINK IT'S RATHER AN INSULT
TO BE FOR FORCE TO BE HAVE FIT
THE. TO FEEL A BIT INDIGNANT
ABOUT HOW.
AND WHERE ARE DOLLARS GOING WE
CAST ON ACCOUNTABILITY FOR IT.
WHICH IS ASK WOULD FOR THE ISSUE
TO BE HELD OPEN. ALLOW WAS THE
TIME WATER IS GOING TO BE
PROVIDED.
TO TWO AGAIN. MAPPED OUT HOW WE
WANT THESE THINGS BE DONE WITH
THE DIVISION AND GO FROM THERE.
AND I THINK WE NEED TO BE
CAREFUL. MEMBER NEED BE CAREFUL
ABOUT THE USAGE OF THE WORD IN
THE POCKET ESPECIALLY IN THE
STATE LEGISLATURE.
WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT
TERM. THAT TERM IS SENT PEOPLE
BEHIND BARS.
THAT'S AN INDICTMENT.
AND WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL ABOUT
THE TERM.
WE ASKED WHAT IT SHOULD BE HELD
OPEN.
THANK YOU WILL NOW CLOSE PUBLIC
HEARING CENTER NIELSEN.
YEAH I LIKE TO WOULD REQUEST WE
KEPT OPEN AND I DO BELIEVE THAT
THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE.
SOME MEASURES OF ACCOUNTABILITY
THAT WE BUILT INTO THIS BUDGET
PROPOSAL AND THE SO WE CAN TRACK
AND THEN KEEP THE. KEEP A HANDLE
ON THAT. MORE OVERSIGHT LITTLE
SAY I'M I'M MINDFUL THE FACT
THAT THE ASSEMBLY TO KEEP THIS
ISSUE OPENED YESTERDAY SO THE
FACT THOUGH IT WILL REMAIN OPEN
FOR THE FOR OUR BUDGET.
DISCUSSIONS REGARDLESS OF WHAT
WE DO TODAY.
CENTER STERN.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I THINK
WE NEED TO RESET HERE A LITTLE
BIT.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT.
THE FACT THEY WERE.
TALKING TO ONE POINT TWO MILLION
DOLLARS TO ENFORCE THE HEALTH
AND ACTUALLY ENSURE THE HEALTH
AND SAFETY. OF THE STATE'S OIL
INDUSTRY. HOW MUCH DID THE
CALIFORNIA OIL INDUSTRY MAKE
LAST YEAR?
SO.
NO I I APPRECIATE.
THE INDUSTRY'S CONCERN IN NEED
FOR OVERSIGHT BUT TO COME UP
HERE AND OPPOSE IT PCP FOR ONE
POINT TWO MILLION DOLLARS FOR
OVER AN EIGHTY BILLION DOLLAR A
YEAR LAST YEAR.
PRODUCTION BEING DOWN.
AND DEPARTMENT BEING UP IS A
FALSE CORRELATION. AYE WE CAN'T
STAND FOR THAT KIND OF.
.
FACTUAL RECORD THERE'S THERE'S
ALL KINDS OF GOOD OPPORTUNITIES
HERE TO BE HAD FOR.
A REVITALIZED CALIFORNIA OIL
INDUSTRY AND I THINK THAT.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS NEEDED
TO GET THERE IF YOU WANT TO BE
PROUD OF THIS INDUSTRY AND.
BE THE SAFEST ON RECORD WE WE
CAN HAVE YOU KNOW FOUR HUNDRED
UNCHECKED VIOLATIONS IN
CORRODING INFRASTRUCTURE AND I
THINK THE INDUSTRY. AND THE
PUBLIC WELFARE BOTH ARE ON THE
SAME PAGE WITH THAT ONE I THINK
IT'S IN BOTH YOUR INTEREST TAKE
TO GET IT TOGETHER I JUST WANT
TO. COMMEND YOU DIRECTOR BUT.
BECAUSE YOU TRANSFORM THIS
DEPARTMENT.
AND WE'RE SITTING HERE YEARS AGO
YOU KNOW UNDER WATER HERE WE
DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING.
EGGMAN COMPLETELY BLINDFOLDED.
AND I THINK FRANKLY IS OF RATHER
MODEST REQUEST
SO I I WOULD I WOULD SUPPORT
APPROVING IT TODAY AND CONTINUE
TO LOOK AT. WHAT MORE WE CAN DO
TO ENHANCE YOUR CAPACITY TO BE?
TO BE A GOOD COP OUT THERE IN
THE FACT THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN
ENFORCEMENT CAPACITY IN IN THE
PAST THERE HAVE BEEN CIVIL
PENALTY IN FINE I APPLAUD YOU ON
THE TWELVE POINT FIVE MILLION
DOLLAR FINE TO FOR THAT ORANGE
COUNTY COMPANY WAS A. OBEYING
THE LAW BECAUSE ULTIMATELY.
IF THEY DON'T PAY WE'RE GOING TO
PAY.
BUT THE PUBLIC THE TAXPAYERS
CALIFORNIA GONNA PAY FOR A CLEAN
UP. FURTHER OFFSHORE OIL SPILL
SO I WOULD HOPE THE INDUSTRY
WOULD TAKE A SECOND THOUGHT
ABOUT THEIR OPPOSITION IN THIS
BUDGET THIS MOD IS BUDGET
PROPOSAL IN AND. SWALLOWS SOME
IMPORTANT BUT.
STRONG BUTTON NEEDED MEDICINE
HERE.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP HERE SIR AND I AT
PLEASE CONTINUE.
PLEASE CONTINUE THE PROGRESS
SAYING IT'S GOOD FOR EVERYBODY.
AND THE CHAIR WILL TAKE THAT AS
A MOTION BOMB. Y. WE HAVE.
WHERE YOU? WERE ON A FOR SPEND.
HE WE'RE TALKING YOU TALK
BRIEFLY ABOUT PLATFORM HOLLY AND
RINCON GIVES AN UPDATE OF HOW
THAT IN YOU KNOW WHAT'S
HAPPENING NOW WE'VE FILED WE
FOUND THE VIOLATIONS WE'VE
ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY.
WHAT'S WHAT DO YOU SEE HAPPENING
THERE IN THE NEXT
SIX MONTHS SERVE. TARGET TALKING
ABOUT RINCON. PROBABLY COULDN'T
REPLY CAN GIVE THE LATEST UPDATE
ON POP A MOLLY BUT. RINCON AND
IT WAS BASICALLY MAN MADE ISLAND
OFF OF INTEREST COAST.
AND I WOULD SAY WAS PROBABLY THE
HIGHEST RISKS PLACER ONE OF THE
HIGHEST RISPOLI SOLICITED
CALIFORNIA OIL SPILL.
I THINK THERE WERE WAS AT FIFTY
FOUR FIVE ABOUT.
BUT FIFTY WELL HEADS OUT THERE.
IT WAS SO RUSTED AND AND.
THERE WERE SEVERAL THE WELLS
THAT WERE UNDER PRESSURE.
THERE WERE SEVERAL THAT DIDN'T
HAVE PRESSURE GAUGES
HIGH HE LOOKED OUT THE AB WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THAT SITE IS WHEN I
CAME ON. AND YOU LOOKED AT THAT
SIDE IT WAS OTHER IRRITANTS YOU
THOUGHT THESE WELL HAS WOULD BAN
THE BOMB THE OCEAN. SIDE SO BUT.
ALMOST A PUBLIC EVERY STATE
FEDERAL AGENCY HAS ANY RELEVANCE
OVER THE LAST EIGHTEEN YEARS.
HAS HAD TRIED TO GET THAT ISLAND
FIXED.
OUR DEPARTMENT ACTUALLY HAS THE
STRONGEST REGULATORY.
ABILITY TO DO THAT AND IN THE
PAST WE DID.
SO AFTER I KNOW AN ATTORNEY AT
OSPREY FOR EXAMPLE SAID I'VE
SPENT MY ENTIRE LEGAL CAREER AT
OSCAR WORKING ON THIS ONE
INFIGHTING THAT SENATE AND IT'S
BEEN FINE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL
STATE LEVEL ETCETERA. ANYHOW WE
TEAMED UP WITH STATE LIENS
COMMISSION VICTIM BACK THE LEASE.
WORKED WITH A THERE WAS A BOND
ON THE BOND IS BEING SPENT NOW
WORK STATE LANDS IS CONTRACTING
TO AN OPERA AN OPERATOR TO GO IN
AND RENDER THE ISLAND SAFE.
THEY'VE DRAIN THE TWO BIG TANKS
ON THE ISLAND I THINK IT AS A
PART NUMBER BARRELS OF ON THE
ISLAND. LA AND THERE NOW.
.
DE PRESSURIZING.
THE.
WELL HEADS WERE WORRIED ABOUT
AND BASICALLY RUN OF THE PLACE
SAFE. SO THAT'S IN A WELL I
CAN'T GIVE YOU I WENT I CAN
FOLLOW UP WHEN PLATFORM HOLLY
WITH YOU I COULD TAKE THE LATEST
BY A FEW WEEKS AGO I COULD'VE.
BUT NOW THINGS ARE CHANGING
QUITE A BIT ON IT SO. I COULD
FOLLOW UP WITH A DELIGHT OKAY
STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS A.
APPROVED HIS BUDGET WE'VE
CERTAINLY DISCUSSED IT WITH
EMOTION MANAGED TO MAKE ONE MORE
COMMENT IT BEFORE WE CLOSE.
I WANT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE OF
LIKE IT'S IT'S NOT LIKE OUR
DEPARTMENT HAD A BIG PROGRAM AND
IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS THE
LEGISLATURE'S THROWN A BUNCH OF
BODIES ADDED. IT'S ACTUALLY FOR
DECADES WE HAVE A MINIMAL
PROGRAM.
AND FACT WE PROBABLY HAD FEES
REGULATORY FEES. AT LESS THAN
HALF OR EVEN A THIRD WITH MOSTLY
ó AND OTHER OIL PRODUCING
STATES PAD. BOTTOM AND SO FOR
EXAMPLE STAKE YOU I SEE
UNDERGROUND JACKSON WE GOT WE
GOT SIDEWAYS AS THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT OF NOT DOING INJECT.
UNDERGROUND JUNCTION.
ROCKER FOR REVIEWS ADEQUATELY
WHEN WE TOOK PRIMA CD IN
NINETEEN EIGHTY THREE I WENT
HOW MANY ADDITIONAL POSITIONS
THAT WE GET BACK IN THE.
NINETEEN EIGHTY FOUR EIGHTY FIVE
TO TAKE OVER THIS MASSIVE NEW
ROLE.
IT WAS LESS THAN SIX
IN FACT I THINK THREE OF THOSE
WERE TEMPORARY AND SO AND THEN I
ASKED WHEN STEVE BALL AND FROM
THE NATIONAL LABS CAME AND MY.
NAME WAS IT WILL SUPERVISOR
FREEZE TEEN MONTHS RAST AND HOW
MANY PEOPLE DO YOU THINK THE
STATE NEEDS TO ACTUALLY
ADEQUATELY REGULATE UNDERGARO
UNDER INJECTION AN AQUIFER
EXEMPTIONS.
HE'S I THINK AT LEAST A HUNDRED
AND THIRTY IF YOU REALLY GOING
TO DO IT PROPERLY. SO WE WE HAD
THIS KIND A MINIMAL STAFF FOR
YEARS AND YES THIS LEGISLATURE.
AND A VERY POSITIVE WAY AND WE
FEEL WE WERE SO PLEASE FORD HAS
IN THE LAST FIVE SIX YEARS
BOOSTED UP OUR STAFFING. BUT
WE'RE NOW GETTING TO THE POINT
WHERE WE'RE MORE ABOUT AVERAGE
WITH WILL BE ABOUT AVERAGE WITH
OTHER.
OIL PRODUCING STATES REGIONS IN
JUST QUINCY DALY WERE ASKING FOR
TWENTY ONE SPECTER'S THIS YEAR
TEXAS IS ASKING FOR FIFTY FIVE NOT IN THAT WE'RE NOT. FOUND
ALONG WIENER WAY ABOVE YOU KNOW
WHAT OTHER WILL PRODUCING STATES
ARE DOING FACT WE'RE KIND OF
PLAYING CATCH UP.
YOU HAVE A MOTION PLEASE CALL
THE ROLL.
MY CASKET BY.
NIELSEN.
MCGUIRE.
STERN.
RIGHT THAT MATTER IT HASN'T
SUFFICIENT.
VOTES LET'S. HOP OVER THERE
ISSUE NUMBER FIFTY FIVE.
REGULATORY FIELD INSPECTION.
THIS IS.
WARY TIGHT TALKED ABOUT THIS A
LITTLE BIT AYE IT'S RELATED TO
ENFORCEMENT I MEAN FIRST THING
YOU NEED TO DO IS GO OUT INSPECT
COMPLIANCE.
AND ONCE AND I INSPECT IT'S NOT
JUST COMPLIANCE INSPECTORS
INVOLVED IN PREVENTIVE
ACTIVITIES SUCH AS WE DO A LOT
OF AYE WITNESSING.
BLOWOUT PREVENTER TESTING IN
ALL KINDS OF OTHER ACTIVITIES ON
THE THOUSANDS OF WELL HEADS IN
THE STATE.
ON THIS AREA.
THOUGH.
I WANT TO MAKE THE POINT BESIDES
ASKING FOR THE POSITIONS THAT'S
NOT THE ONLY ANSWER WERE TRYING
TO GET FAR MORE EFFICIENT AND
ACTUALLY HOW WE DO THESE
ACTIVITIES. SO FOR EXAMPLE.
WE WERE VERY INEFFICIENT HOW WE
DISPATCH PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY GO
OUT AND DO INSPECTIONS AND WE
IMPLEMENTED A PROGRAM WE PUT GPS
DEVICES ON EVERY SINGLE ONE OF
OUR INSPECTORS TRUCKS.
OKAY AND WE NOW DISPATCHING THEM.
ON THE MOST EFFICIENT ROUTE.
REPORTER I.
BY.
YEAH AND THE OTHER IN THE OTHER
TODAY THE PIECE OF IT IS WHERE
NOW EXPLORING DOING REMOTE.
INSPECTIONS USING. GEO CODE AT A.
DATE AND TIME VIDEO LIVE AT
SITES JUST AS A WAY TO
POTENTIALLY MAKE US MORE
EFFICIENT YOU MATCHING TRYING TO
DRIVE AROUND LA. AND JUST GET TO
THE TRAFFIC TO GO TO INSPECTION
YOU SPEND MUCH TIME ON THE
FREEWAY.
SO WE DO A LOT OF THINGS I JUST.
OKAY BELIAU YOU HAVE COMMENT.
CHAU MOMENT THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE FOR
RECOMMENDING LEGISLATURE
APPROVED THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL
ON A THREE YEAR BASIS A RATHER
THAN AN ONGOING BASIS.
AND ARE THE THEM OUT OF THE
ANNUAL INSPECTION WORKLOAD IS
UNCERTAIN FOR FOR A NUMBER OF
CAUSES IT HEIGHT THAT ARE
OUTLINED IN THE AGENDA.
THE BY PROVING THE FUNDING
POSITIONS FOR THREE YEARS THE
DEPARTMENT WE NEED TO COME BACK
AND REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE ON
ITS PROGRESS. TOWARDS IMPROVING
ITS OVERSIGHT OF OIL AND NATURAL
GAS FIELD OPERATIONS IF IT
REQUEST ONLINE RESOURCES IN THE
FUTURE WE'RE ALSO RECOMMENDING
THE LEGISLATURE.
AN ACT BUDGET TRAILER
LEGISLATION COULD REQUIRE THE
DEPARTMENT TO ANNUAL REPORT. ON
INFORMATION.
STATEWIDE BY DISTRICT ON THE
NUMBER OF OIL FIELD OPERATIONS
THAT. IT WITNESSES THAT IT'S
REQUIRED TO WITNESS AND ALSO
THAT HAS THE OPTION TO WITNESS.
WE THINK THE DEPARTMENT COULD
FULFILL THIS PROPERTY IN
REQUIREMENT BY POSTING THE
INFORMATION TO THEIR WEBSITE
THEY ALREADY POSED A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT OF THIS TYPE OF
INFORMATION. AND THE INFORMATION
TO HELP INFORM THE LEGISLATURE'S
DECISION IN THREE YEARS ABOUT
THE DEATH OF A CORRECT AMOUNT OF
ONLINE RESOURCES TO IMPROVE.
THEIR TWENTY YOU KILL ON A
PUBLIC RECORDS I REQUEST OH YES.
HOW WE CANNOT COME TO YOU UP
RIGHT ABOUT HOW WE DOING ON
RESPONDING TO THOSE IN THE TURN
AROUND AND WHAT'S WHAT IS IT
LOOKS LIKE IN BORROWED DOCTOR OF
AB? BIG OR TRY TO DO IS MAKE
EVERYTHING UP AS MUCH AS WE CAN
AS PUSH OUT TOWARDS ONLINE AND
I'M MORE OFTEN THAT'S OUR NEXT
ITEM YEAH WILL MORE OFTEN THAN
NOT WE ARE. NOT A DANCER WHEN
SOMEONE REQUESTS INFORMATION IS
IT'S ACTUALLY ALREADY ON OUR
WEBSITE SO THAT THAT REDUCES OUR
WORKLOAD IN TERMS OF P. ARI'S.
TIME. BUT WE YOU KNOW WE WE
TRYING TERRORIZES FAST AS WE CAN.
THAT WILL IMPROVE AND WILL BE
FASTER.
WHEN ACID WITH WELL INFORMATION
FOR EXAMPLE ONCE WE GET OUR NEW
IT PROGRAM UP AND RUNNING SO
RIGHT NOW FOR EXAMPLE SOMEONE
SAYS YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF THESE
