I GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR GOOD
MORNING MEMBER.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME THIS
MORNING.
I'D FIRST LIKE TO START BY
ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENTS AND
THINKING YOU AND YOUR STAFF FOR
ALL YOUR WORK ON THIS BILL.
S. B. TEN SEVENTY TWO CREATES A
REGIONAL CLIMATE COLLABORATIVE
PROGRAM TO EMPOWER UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE TO
PARTICIPATE IN CLIMATE CHANGE
PROGRAMS AND ACHIEVE TANGIBLE
SUCCESS. TOWARDS HEALTHIER
COMMUNITIES
EACH YEAR THE STATE RECEIVES
LARGE REVENUES FROM A VARIETY OF
SOURCES.
TO COMBAT POLLUTION AND CLEAN
AIR THESE MONIES ARE DISTRIBUTED
TO VARIOUS AGENCIES AND PROGRAMS
TO HELP MEET IMPORTANT GHG
REDUCTION GOALS.
HOWEVER WE HAVE CREATED A CLEAR
POLICY DILEMMA FOR UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS
THAT SERVE THEM. ALTHOUGH WE
EARMARKED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
FOR DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES
THOSE VERY PLACES ARE THE ONES
STRUGGLING TO ACCESS THOSE
DOLLARS THEREBY COMPROMISING OUR
CLIMATE ACTION GOALS.
WITHOUT LARGE BUDGETS AND THE
STAFF FOR OUTREACH OR GRANT
WRITING FIND. FUNDING AND
FINDING APPLYING FOR PROGRAMS IS
A DAUNTING AND NEAR IMPOSSIBLE
TASK.
NOT TO MENTION THE DIFFICULTY OF
ACTUALLY BEING AWARDED FUNDS
WITHIN OUR COMPETITIVE GRANT
SYSTEM.
CURRENTLY THERE IS NO LOCAL
STRUCTURE AND DEDICATED TO
PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
AND CAPACITY BUILDING TO
UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES AS YOU
KNOW CALIFORNIA IS HOME TO SOME
OF THE WORST AIR QUALITY IN THE
NATION. ESPECIALLY IN THE AREA
THAT I'M PROUD TO REPRESENT IN
THE INLAND EMPIRE.
MANY OF OUR STATES MOST POLLUTED
AREAS HAVE HIGHER RATES OF
POVERTY AND HIGHER INCIDENCES OF
ASTHMA AND CANCER. AS WE TEN
SEVENTY TWO RESPONSE TO THIS
URGENT NEED TO ALIGN OUR CLIMATE
PROGRAMS WITH TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE AND LOCAL
ORGANIZATIONS TO MEET THE NEEDS
OF MOST IMPACTED COMMUNITIES.
SPECIFICALLY THE BILL AUTHORIZES
THE STRATEGIC GROWTH COUNCIL TO
ADMINISTER THE REGIONAL CLIMATE
COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM.
THESE COLLABORATIVE'S WILL
PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND
CAPACITY BUILDING TO CREATE THE
SUPPORT. OUR COMMUNITIES NEED TO
MITIGATE THE IMPACTS OF POOR AIR
QUALITY. WE KNOW THAT PROVIDING
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND
BUILDING LOCAL COALITIONS WORK.
IN THE CITY OF ONTARIO WE CAME
TOGETHER. WE WORK FOR ALMOST A
YEAR WELL ACTUALLY LITTLE OVER A
YEAR.
TO TO HELP GET A GRANT.
FOR THE CITY OF ONTARIO THIRTY
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS WAS A%
GRANTED FOR URBAN GREENING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND CLEAN
TRANSIT PROGRAMS.
TEN SEVENTY TWO ENSURES THAT
THERE'S EQUABLE ACCESS TO
FUNDING AND PROGRAMS AND IMPROVE
THE HEALTH OF ALL OF OUR STATES
COMMUNITIES.
AS NOTED IN THE ANALYSIS THIS
BILL REMAINS A WORK IN PROGRESS
AS WE WORK TO ENSURE THAT THE
COLLABORATIVE'S OUR COMMUNITY
DRIVEN. AND SUPPORT STATEWIDE
CLIMATE GOALS I AM COMMITTED TO
CONTINUE WORKING WITH THIS
COMMITTEE AND THE SENATE.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY THROUGHOUT
THE PROCESS
WITH ME TO SPEAK UP OUR SUPPORT
OF THE BILL IS RICO MASTERTON
NADA. OF THAT WITH THE TRUST FOR
PUBLIC LAND AND EMMY WINNING
WITH THE GREEN LINING INSTITUTE
HORRIBLE SPONSORS OF THE BILL.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS RECALL MONSTER DENARDO
WITH THE TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND
AND WE ARE CO SPONSORS WITH THE
GREEN LINING INSTITUTE FOR ON
THIS BILL. BY I'M GONNA JUST DO
A LITTLE BIT OF.
.
DESCRIBING OUR PERSONAL. TRIP
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THE TRUST
FOR PUBLIC LAND WORKING IN THESE
COMMUNITIES AND THEN LET OUR CO
SPONSOR GREEN LINING INSTITUTE
DESCRIBED HOW THE A AS BE
SEVENTY TWO ADDRESSES THE
CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE.
AS SENATOR LEYVA MENTIONED THE
STATE HAS COMMITTED HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
TO TARGET THE MOST UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE. AND
THESE DOLLARS ARE INTENDED TO BE
INVESTED IN THESE COMMUNITIES
BUT THE IRONY IS THAT THESE
COMMUNITIES ARE THE LEAST
EQUIPPED.
TO COMPETE FOR THOSE DOLLARS AND
IN THESE DOLLARS ARE
COMPETITIVE.
SO YOU'RE HAVING COMMUNITIES
FROM KERN COUNTY ARE IMPERIAL
COUNTY COMPETING WITH SIX THE
COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO AND IT'S
IT'S NOT A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.
ON THE TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND HAS
BEEN WORKING FOR FORTY YEARS
AND.
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OUR WORK.
IS ACTUALLY WORKING IN BEHALF OF
COMMUNITIES AND CITIES DOING THE
APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT DOING
THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT IN THE
PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT THAT. IS
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO BE ABLE
TO ACCESS THESE DOLLARS SO WE.
BUT WE CAN'T BE EVERYWHERE YOU
KNOW WE CAN BE HOW. WE CAN HELP.
.
WHERE WE CAN BUT THERE ARE
OBVIOUSLY HUNDREDS OF
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE ARE
DESERVING OF THESE DOLLARS AND
CAN'T GET TO THEM BECAUSE THEY
DO NOT HAVE?
NOW CITY AND.
TECHNICAL EXPERTISE SO THAT'S
THE PROBLEM THAT THIS BILL IS A
ADDRESSING AND ALLAH AND ME
DESCRIBE.
HOW S. B. TEN SEVENTY TWO WAS
INTENDING TO ADDRESS THEM?
TO BE. BUILT MORNING EVERYONE I
MEAN IT'S I MEAN WHEN WITH THE
GREEN LINING INSTITUTE UMPSS.
B. TEST EVERY TWO IS WHAT BEEN
CALLING I THINK CALLING A THREE
LAYER CAKE.
THAT IN STATE REACHED LOCAL
CAPACITY BUILDING.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND
STANDARDIZATION COORDINATION AND
ALIGNMENT.
THE FIRST LAYER IT IS LOCAL
CAPACITY BUILDING THROUGH THE
REGIONAL CLIMATE CLEVERNESS
THESE ARE ESSENTIALLY THE LOCAL
BACKBONE ENTITIES THAT ARE THERE
TO PROVIDE THAT CONVENING
CAPACITY.
AND ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES SUCH
AS OUR OUTREACH AND EDUCATION
ARE PROJECT IDEATION DEVELOPMENT
PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT RESOURCE
DEVELOPMENT ALL THE STUFF ALL
THE OTHER CAPACITY BUILDING
WHERE THAT HAS TO HAPPEN. A
BEFORE FOR MY APPLICATION IS
KIND OF PUT TOGETHER AN AND
BUNDLED UP.
THE SECOND LAYER IS TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE ADMINISTERED BY THE
STATE I'M SO WHAT WE KNOW ON
THROUGH OUR EXPERIENCE ON
PROVIDING A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
OF THAT EVEN ONCE GROUPS AND
COMMUNITIES ARE ABLE TO COME
TOGETHER. MANY GROUPS STILL LACK
THE TECHNICAL KNOW HOW THAT'S
NECESSARY TO SUBMIT A
COMPETITIVE GRANT APPLICATION.
ON TO THE TECHNICAL SYSTEM
PLAYER IS ESSENTIALLY SAYS THAT
CLIMATE GRANT PROGRAMS THAT HAVE
A TARGETED FUNDING MECHANISM. ON
TOWARDS DISADVANTAGE AMONG
COMMUNITIES THOSE PROGRAMS THOSE
FUNDING PROGRAM SHOULD HAVE A
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE COMPONENT
AS PART OF THE PROVISION OF
THEIR SERVICES AND LOUDLY.
PUT OUT COME OUT AS A PORTION
OF THEIR PROGRAM ALLOCATION.
AND THEN THE THIRD AND FINAL
LAYER IS GENERALIZATION
COORDINATION ALIGNMENT ON OUR
BILL IDENTIFIES THE STREET THE
STRATEGIC GROWTH COUNCIL AS THE
ENTITY TO ESSENTIALLY CREATE AN
OVER ARCHING GUIDELINES
DOCUMENT.
THAT WILL BUILD THE ROAD TO TE
TOP IN TERMS OF WHAT WE MEAN BY
LOCAL CAPACITY BUILDING THE
REGIONAL CLIMATE COLLABORATIVE'S
AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. THE
OBJECTIVE HERE IS TO BRING
IMPLEMENTERS TOGETHER TO BUILD
PRESS PRACTICES.
AND REALLY.
PROVIDE SOME LEVEL OF
STANDARDIZATION AROUND WHAT WE
MEAN BY THESE CONCEPTS SO THAT'S
THE THE BILL IN IN IN LARGE PART
ON THAT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS
AND SO EXCITED TO WORK TOGETHER
WITH THIS COMMITTEE. AND TO
REALLY IN CHINA LOCAL CAPACITY
BUILDING.
THAT IT'S NEEDED SO THAT ALL
COMMUNITIES ARE ABLE TO
PARTICIPATE IN CALIFORNIA'S
CLIMATE POLICIES GREAT THANK YOU

LOCALE CAKE I GUESS. COOKOUT

THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE OF DEALING
WITH MICROSOFT POLLUTION. AND
RECOGNIZING THE MAGNITUDE OF
THIS PROBLEM WE BELIEVE IT'S
IMPERATIVE TO TAKE A SCIENTIFIC
A METHODICAL APPROACH TO
DEVELOPING REMEDIES AND
SOLUTIONS. FOR ADDRESSING MICRO
PLASTICS AND SOME OF THIS GOOD
WORK IS ALREADY BEING DONE BY
THE OCEAN PROTECTION COUNCIL.
AND THIS BILL BUILDS ON THEIR
EXISTING EFFORTS WE THINK THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE STRATEGY CAN
AND SHOULD PROCEED CONCURRENTLY
WITH OTHER PROPOSED IN EXISTING
SOURCE CONTROL EFFORTS WE KNOW
THAT SOURCE CONTROL CAN BE A
VALUABLE IMPROVING METHOD.
BUT HOWEVER WE THINK THAT
ESTABLISHING A RESEARCH BACKED
PLAN IS A NECESSARY STEP TO
ADEQUATELY. CHARACTERIZE THE
PROBLEM MEASURE THAT RISKS
IDENTIFY SOURCES AND ULTIMATELY
MAKES SCIENCE BASED POLICY
RECOMMENDATIONS. FUND THIS
HOLISTIC APPROACH AS PROPOSED BY
S. B. TWELVE SIXTY THREE AND FOR
THESE REASONS WE STRONGLY
SUPPORT THE BILL AND WOULD URGE

THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
MISTER CHAIRMAN THANK YOU
MEMBERS.
I AM PLEASED TO BE HERE TO
PRESENT S. B. THIRTEEN SIXTY
SEVEN.
IT WOULD ENABLE THE SAN DIEGO
RIVER CONSERVANCY TO INITIATE
THE SAN DIEGO RIVERS WATERSHED
CONSORTIUM PROGRAM. TO ASSIST
AND RESTORING THREE NEARBY
RIVERS FROM THEIR HEADLINES TO
THE PACIFIC OCEAN.
THE O. TY RIVER. THE SWEETWATER
RIVER AND THE TIJUANA RIVER.
THIS BILL WOULD AUTHORIZE THE
CONSERVANCY TO CONVEY.
ARE TO CONVENE ADVISORY PANELS
MADE UP OF LOCAL CITIES THE
COUNTY. PUBLIC AGENCIES AND
TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS TO CRAFT
STRATEGIC PLANS FOR THE THREE
NEARBY RIVERS. AND ASSIST IN
PURSUING GRANT FUNDING TO
RESTORE ENHANCE NATURAL HISTORIC
CULTURAL EDUCATIONAL AND
RECREATIONAL RESOURCES. ALONG
THESE RIVERS AND MOST IMPORTANT
TO ENHANCE THE PUBLIC ACCESS TO
REVERSE. THE REGION IS EXPECTED
TO GROW FROM ITS CURRENT THREE
POINT THREE MILLION PEOPLE TO
FOUR MILLION BY TWENTY FIFTY.
AND NOT ALL THE RESIDENTS IN THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE COUNTY
HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO GREEN
SPACE AND PUBLIC LANDS.
PARK POOR AREAS AREHIGHLY
CONCENTRATED SOUTH OF THE SAN
DIEGO RIVER WATERSHED.
SO THE O. TIE SWEET WATER INTO
QUITE A RIVERS ARE EXTRAORDINARY
NATURAL RESOURCES OF STATEWIDE
SIGNIFICANCE. AND ARE IN NEED OF
CONSERVATION RESTORATION
PROTECTION OF SENSITIVE SPECIES
AND OF COURSE IMPROVE WATER
QUALITY AND IMPROVED OVERALL
HEALTH OF THE ECO SYSTEMS.
THIS IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT
BY THE SAN DIEGO RIVER
CONSERVANCY TO SHARE INFORMATION
WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS ALONG
THOSE THREE NEIGHBORING
WATERSHEDS.
THAT WOULD DIRECTLY BENEFIT FROM
THE REMOVAL OF INVASIVE SPECIES
THAT WE KNOW CONTRIBUTED
FLOODING AND THAT AREA IN
PARTICULAR.
TO ENCOURAGE NATURAL FLOOD WATER
CONVEYANCE AND REDUCE DAMAGE
DURING STORMS.
WHEN WE DO HAVE STORMS IN THOSE
AREAS THEY ULTIMATELY REALLY
DESTROY.
THE ENTIRE.
WATERSHED IN THE RIVER AND HAVE
OTHER IMPACTS
WE ALSO WANT RESTORE FISHING
OPPORTUNITIES ALONG THE URBAN
RIVERS AND IDENTIFY CULTURAL.
AND HISTORIC REMINDERS OF THE
NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES THAT
OCCUPIED.
I THE AREA OVER THIRTY THOUSAND
YEARS AGO. THAT THREE PANELS
WOULD MEET TWICE A YEAR THE
CONSERVANCY WOULD HAVE NO
AUTHORITY OVER LAND USE OR
FUNDING OR OPERATIONS WITHIN THE
WATERSHEDS AND THOSE THREE
RIVERS.
BUT THE CURRENT CONSERVANCY
COULD IF THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
REQUEST ASSIST IN THIS IS THE
IMPORTANT PART IN GETTING UP
PERMITS IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL
FUNDING SOURCES. ASSIST WITH
BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS AND HELP
IN IDENTIFYING CULTURAL AND
HISTORIC RESOURCES.
OUR SAN DIEGO RIVER IS FORTUNATE
TO HAVE A CONSERVANCY THAT.
THIS COMMITTEE IN MANY HAVE
SUPPORTED OVER THE YEARS.
I AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO
PROVIDING THE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT TO THREE
OTHER WATERSHEDS THAT NEED THE
SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE.
I LOT THE BILL HAS BROAD
SUPPORT.
THE BED BY THE WAY MORE
IMPORTANTLY THE PROGRAM REQUIRES
NO.
NEW FUNDING.
.
SO IT HAS BROAD SUPPORT THERE'S
NO KNOWN OPPOSITION AND WITH ME

GOOD BORDERS CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
AND THANK YOU FOR HERE IN THIS

WE ARE. TRYING TO CLARIFY AND A
FIRM ORIGINAL.
CONTENT OF LEGISLATION.
SENATE BILL TWENTY.
BUT TWELVE SIXTY ONE.
CLARIFIES IN THOSE I SAY SECURES
ORIGINAL CAN'T THAT HELLFIRE.
CONTINUE CONTRACTING WITH
PROVIDERS.
THE CONTRACT CONTRACTED
FIREFIGHTING. AIRCRAFT WITHOUT
REQUIRING THEM TO HAVE A ONEROUS
AND BURDENSOME INSURANCE
REQUIREMENT.
TWENTY EIGHTEEN JANUARY THE
DEPARTMENT SAID AN INFORMATIONAL
LETTER OUT I THINK BASED ON A.
INTERPRETATION.
INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD ALL
THESE PROVIDERS WOULD NEED TO
PROVIDE A DEATH BENEFIT FOR
THEIR PILOTS THAT WAS A
UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT I THINK
THAT MAY HAVE PERPETRATED.
AND THAT THE PILOTS WHO OPERATE
AIRCRAFT NOT OPERATED BY CAL
FOR.
THAT THEY HAD NOT BEEN
SUBJECT TO THIS PROVISION NOW
WOULD BECOME AN ONEROUS BURDEN
TO THEM.
THEY GIVE THE CREATION OF THIS
REQUIREMENT. FOR THE UPCOMING.
SEASON OF OUR FIRE SEASON WOULD
REALLY CONSTRAIN THEIR ABILITY.
FOR THESE WHEN NEEDED OPERATORS.
TO DO THEIR BUSINESS. AND MAKE
THEM UNCOMPETITIVE IN MANY
RESPECTS.
AND I THINK COMPROMISE OUR
ABILITY TO RESPOND.
AND AS WE'VE SEEN IN THE LAST
YEAR. SOMETIMES WE HAVE MANY
FIRES BREAK OUT ALL OVER
CALIFORNIA.
AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO DEPLOY
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AS MANY
RESOURCES AS POSSIBLE.
AND IF WE THIS IS NOT ADDRESSED
THAT A LONG TERM WAY THAT GIVES
ASSURANCE.
TO THESE OPERATORS.
THEN THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE
TO PROVIDE THAT HELP WHEN WE
NEEDED REMEMBER THESE ARE ON
CALL.
AND THEY ARE RUNNING OPERATIONS
THAT THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR
AROUND THE PILOTS THAT THEY
WOULD BE DEPLOYING TO HELP US.
THEY THEY'VE GOT TO HAVE AROUND.
THAT IF THEY'RE WAITING AROUND
AND NOT GETTING ANY PRODUCTION
OUT OF ANY INCOME THEN.
THEY SUFFER AND THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO AS MUCH
AS WE WOULD REQUIRE.
SO.
THERE WAS A GREAT OUTCRY HAVE
THESE PROVIDERS LETTING IT BE
KNOWN THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE
A PROBLEM FOR THEM.
AND KEPT THAT LEE CAL FIRE THAT
DID SEND OUT A LETTER.
THAT GAVE SOME COMFORT.
BUT.
THAT THAT THEY WOULD PAY THE
DEATH BENEFIT. THIS THOUGH IS
BUT A TEMPORARY. ACCOMMODATION.
AND WE NEED TO GIVE THESE FOLKS
LONG TERM ASSURANCE.
THAT. EXTENDS BEYOND JUST A
STATUTORY INTERPRETATION OF THE
WORD WITH AS WE ALL KNOW.
ANYBODY IN AN AGENCY CAN COME
UP WITH THEIR VIEW OF WHAT A
STATUTE MEANS IN HOUSE
APPLICATION SHOULD BE APPLIED.
WE NEED TO CLARIFY AND THAT'S
WHAT THIS BILL DOES.
IT IT'S JUST CLARIFIES YOU GET
REGINALD TEN AND DEBT BEHIND THE
STATUE TO AND WHAT IT WAS
REQUIRED.
TO ENSURE.
THAT BY LIMITING THE DEATH
BENEFITS TO ONLY THOSE PILOTS
FLYING FIREFIGHTING AB. AIRCRAFT
OPERATED BY CAL FIRE.
THAT ENSURES THAT THEY THEN CAN
PROVIDE THOSE OPERATORS FOR US.
YEAH AND WE HAVE A COUPLE
WITNESSES HERE TODAY HAVE SETH
GUN SOLVES.
THESE ROOM RED BLUFF.
I FLY ON THEIR COPIES ON
OCCASION.
AND ERIC FRAZIER OF THEIR WEST
AND THEY'RE RIGHT HERE TO TALK
WITH US.
PRETTY GOOD.
MORNING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN MY
NAME IS SETH GONCALVES ON THE
DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS WITH PJ
HELICOPTERS A CALIFORNIA COMPANY
THAT SPIN IN BUSINESS SINCE
NINETEEN SIXTY EIGHT STARTED BY
MY GRANDFATHER.
WE'VE GROWN TO EMPLOYEE OVER A
HUNDRED CALIFORNIANS AND OPERATE
OVER FORTY AIRCRAFT A LARGE
PORTION OF WHICH SUPPORT CAL
FIRE NEAR YOUR BASIS.
WE'VE SUPPORTED CAL FIRE FOR
THIRTY SIX OF THOSE FORTY NINE
YEARS AND IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN AS
YOU KNOW WAS THE MOST
DESTRUCTIVE. WILDFIRE YEAR IN
CALIFORNIA'S HISTORY.
WE NEED NAPA AND SANTA ROSA
FIRES TOOKPLACE I WAS GIVEN
GIVE A CALL AT TWO AM REQUESTING
THAT WE'VE OF PHIL TWENTY THREE
AIRCRAFT ORDERS. HAVE WHICH AT
THE TIME WE COULD TO FILL ONLY
TEN BASED ON OTHER COMMITMENTS.
OVER THE COURSE OF THAT FIRE WE
SEND AN ADDITIONAL FIVE AIRCRAFT
AND REMAIN ON SITE FOR WEEKS
UNTIL THE FIRE WAS OUT AND WE
WERE RELEASED.
WE'RE ALSO SIGNED ON A HANDFUL
OF OTHER INCIDENTS INCLUDING THE
TOMS FIRE IN VENTURA COUNTY WE
HAD THREE OF THE FIRST TYPE ONE
BLACKHAWK HELICOPTERS ON SITE.
THAT REMAIN ON SITE THROUGH
CHRISTMAS DAY AND NEW YEAR'S AND
INTO JANUARY.
WE'VE BEEN PROUD OF OUR SUPPORT
OF CAL FIRE THAT WE'VE BEEN
PROUD OF THE PRICING THAT WE'VE
BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE TO THE
STATE AND WE'RE PROUD TO CALL
OURSELVES A CALIFORNIA
CORPORATION WOULD LIKE TO
CONTINUE TO. TO WORKING FOR THE
AGENCY.
THIS DEATH BENEFIT IS IS A
CHALLENGE FOR US BASED ON THAT
EXACT CALL WHEN HE DID MODEL.
WITHOUT EXAGGERATION SOME YEARS
HAVE BEEN SLOW IN TWO THOUSAND
AND EIGHT WE FLEW A TOTAL OF
FIFTY FOUR HOURS FOR CAL FIRE.
IN TWO THOUSAND AND SEVENTEEN WE
FLEW OVER FIVE HUNDRED.
THAT VERY ABILITY IS NOT FAIR TO
DIVIDE THE DEATH BENEFIT PREMIUM
BACK BY WHICH FOR OUR OUR.
OUR ESTIMATION FOR OUR COMPANIES
HUNDRED FIFTY TWO THOUSAND JUST
FOR THE SEASON.
WE STRONGLY SUPPORT THIS ON
BEHALF OF OUR ONE HUNDRED TWO
EMPLOYEES. TO COME UP WITH A
LONG TERM SOLUTION.
AND I'D LIKE TO ADD TO THAT THAT
WE DO CARRY AS CENTER NIELSEN
SAID YEAR ROUND SUPPORT AND
WORKERS COMP AND A SUPPLEMENTAL
DEATH BENEFIT FOR OUR STAFF
OUTSIDE OF OF CAL FIRE. A IF THE
STATE IS WILLING TO COME BEHIND
US ON THAT BENEFIT YEAR AFTER
YEAR THAT COULD BE A VIABLE
SOLUTION HOWEVER.
THE CURRENT ASSESSMENT IS THAT
IT WOULD JUST BE FOR ONE YEAR
AND WE NEED A LONG TERM SOLUTION
TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A FAIR
PRICE.
AND NOT BE OUTBID BY COMPETITORS
OUT OF STATE THAT COME IN AND
HELP FIGHT THESE FIRES WITH
SMALLER FLEETS AND LESS
CALIFORNIA'S ON THEIR PAYROLL
THEM THEN WE PROVIDE. WERE VERY
PROUD OF OUR HISTORY WITH THE
STATE AND WECOMMIT OUR SERVICES
TO THE STATE CAL FIRE MOVING
FORWARD. BUT THIS IS WHEN WE
NEED SUPPORT FROM EVERYBODY HERE
AND ON BEHALF OF OUR ONE HUNDRED
TWO EMPLOYEES WE ASK FOR SUPPORT
WAS SENATOR USES PROPOSAL THANK
YOU.
FOR.
GOOD MORNING MY NAME IS ERIC
FRASER ON THE PRESIDENT OF AIR
WEST HELICOPTERS INCOME LOCATED
IN REDLANDS CALIFORNIA ABOUT
SIXTY MILES EAST OF LOS ANGELES
PLEASE BEAR WITH ME AFTER ABOUT
SEVEN HOURS TO GET HERE LAST
NIGHT. CA GRADUATE HERECEIVED
REDLANDS ANOTHER PLACE WELL
ALRIGHT SO. ANYWAY THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE
TESTIMONY TODAY ON THIS
IMPORTANT ISSUE I THINK ONE
THING THAT PEOPLE REALLY NEED
UNDERSTAND FROM A BACKGROUND
PERSPECTIVE IS.
THAT. CAL FIRE CURRENTLY HAS TEN
HELICOPTERS A TIN HELL BASES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TEN.
ONCE A FIRE TRANSITIONS INTO AN
EXTENDED ATTACK MODEL OVER THE
FIRE GETS BEYOND THE CAPABILITY
OF THOSE AVAILABLE AIRCRAFT BY
CAL FIRE THEY DEPEND ON CALL
WHEN NEEDED AIRCRAFT OR CW IN
RESOURCES TO DO THAT.
THAT THOSE RESOURCE NEEDS OF
THE STATE CAN BE EXEMPLIFIED
BESTBUY THE THOMAS FIRE IN SANTA
BARBARA COUNTY LAST DECEMBER
THAT FIRE TYPICALLY USE TWENTY
TWO HELICOPTERS EACH DAY I WAS
ON THAT FIRE ALL THE WAY THROUGH
CHRISTMAS. THE FIRE USE TWENTY
TWO HELICOPTERS EACH DAY
EXCLUDING THE NATIONAL GUARD
HELICOPTERS THAT WERE THERE.
SO ONLY ONE OF THOSE TWENTY TWO
HELICOPTERS THAT WAS USED ON
THAT FIRE WAS A CALIFORNIA OR
HELICOPTER THE REST OF THEM WERE
CALL WE NEEDED OPERATORS
PROVIDING THAT RESOURCE NEED TO
THAT FIRE.
SO IF YOU PUT THAT INTO
PERSPECTIVE IF CAL FIRE WERE
TIPS AND ITS ENTIRE FLEET DOWN
TO THAT ONE FIRE BY ITSELF. THEY
WOULD ONLY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
LESS THAN HALF OF THE AERIAL
RESOURCES THAT WERE BEING
UTILIZED ON THAT FIRE ON ANY
GIVEN DAY WITHIN THAT WOULD
LEAVE NO WHETHER HELICOPTERS
AVAILABLE STATEWIDE TO RESPOND
TO NEW FIRES OR. THAT TAKE
ACTION WHEN IN FACT THERE WERE
OTHER FIRES IN LA COUNTY IN IN
SAN DIEGO COUNTY ALSO HAD FIRES
AT THAT SAME TIME.
OF THE CW AN ARRANGEMENT
PROVIDES A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL
BENEFIT TO THE PEOPLE THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA SINCE THE
TAXPAYERS DO NOT NEED TO FUND A
FULL TIME YEAR ROUND PROGRAM
THAT WE NEED NED TO BE MORE
THAN FIVE TIMES THE SIZE YOU
HAVE RIGHT NOW JUST TO BE ABLE.
TO PROVIDE THE RESOURCES THAT CW
AND. RESOURCES DO.
CW AN AIRCRAFT ARE JUST THAT
CALL WHEN NEEDED ON AN
INDEFINITE QUANTITY BASIS.
OTHER USED WHEN NEEDED AND PAID
ONLY WHEN USED AND SO AS WAS
INDICATED.
WE.
THAT PROVIDE THAT RESOURCE BUT
WE ALSO HAVE TO SPREAD THAT COST
WHICH COULD BE ZERO IN ONE YEAR
A VERY SMALL IN ONE YEAR TO VERY
EXTENSIVE AND IN ANOTHER.
AND THE SIXTEEN YEARS SINCE THE
ADOPTION OF PRC FOUR ONE ONE
FOUR POINT FIVE THE AGENCY HAS
NEVER INTERPRETED IT TO REPLY TO
CW AN AIRCRAFT UNTIL THIS YEAR.
AND SO FOR A DECADE AND A HALF
THIS IS NEVER THIS LIST AT. THE
INTERPRETATION HAS NEVER BEEN
APPLIED TO CW AN AIRCRAFT IN
SALSA AND THIS YEAR IT'S BEEN
APPLIED THE FINANCIAL IMPACT A
SIGNIFICANT. AS A. MIKE A COVERT
FROM PJ HAD INDICATED WE'RE
LOOKING AT TEN TO THIRTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS PER AIRCRAFT
PER YEAR TYPICALLY FOR AN
OPERATOR. AND ON AN INDEFINITE
QUANTITY BASIS HOW DO WE DO THE
MATH T BUILD PROVIDE THAT. IF
I'M ONLY GONNA FLY FIFTY SIX
HOURS WHEN YOU'RE BUT I HAVE A
HUNDRED SOMETHING THOUSAND
DOLLAR EXPENSE HOW DO I DO THAT
MATH BY I DON'T KNOW IF I'M
GONNA FLY WHEN YOU'RE ARE NOT
GONNA FLY ARE GONNA FLY A LOT SO
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO BE ABLE.
TO DO THAT.
FOR THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE MOST
ECONOMICAL SOLUTION THE
LEGISLATURE MAY CONSIDER SAVING
ATTACKS CALLED TAXPAYERS
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ANNUALLY
BUDGETS PROVIDING THAT BENEFIT
RATHER THAN HAVING THAT PASSED
THROUGH COST ANYWHERE FROM ONE
AND A HALF TO FOUR AND A HALF
MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY BEING.
PASSED THROUGH TO THE STATE
THROUGH HIGHER RATES FROM THE CW
IN VENDORS IT'S MUCH MORE
ECONOMICAL JUST FOR THE STATE TO
PROVIDE THAT BENEFITS IT SHOULD
THE LEGISLATURE DECIDE TO DO SO
IN THE FUTURE.
SO THAT THE BILL IS AUTHORED AND
PRESENTED FOR CONSIDERATION
TODAY WILL PROVIDE THE NECESSARY
CLARIFICATION IN SUPPORT AND WE
APPRECIATE THAT. VERY GOOD
OTHERS IN SUPPORT.
AND THE OPPOSITION QUESTION
QUESTIONS FOR THE MEMBERS.
THE BILL BILL'S BEEN MOVED.
NOTHING BRINGING FURTHER US
CENTER.
WELL I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN FOR THE
CONSIDERATION.

GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS TODAY I AM PLEASED TO
JOIN WITH THE CITY OF HUNTED
BEACH AND PRESENTING S. B.
TWELVE NINETY NINE. WHICH WOULD
TRANSFER THE OWNERSHIP OF THE
SUBMERGED LAND IN THE MAIN. AND
MADE WASTE CHANNEL IN HUNTING
HARBOR FOR THE STATE TO THE CITY
OF HUNTING BEACH.
BENTON HARBOR IS AN INTEGRAL
PART OF HUNTING BEACH
THE HARBORS SHOWCASES COMMUNITY
EVENTS AND PROVIDES A
RESTORATION OF BENEFIT TO THE
ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
CURRENTLY RESIDENTS LOW CAN
EITHER THE MAIN OR MIDWAY'S
CHANNEL IN THE HARBOR ARE
SUBJECT TO LAND LEASE AGREEMENT
WITH THE STATE LANDS COMMISSION.
HOWEVER SEVERAL HUNDRED OTHER
HOMES NOT LOOKING THE MAIN OR
MID WAYS CHANNEL HAVE NO
REQUIREMENT THAT HAS CAUSED SOME
CONFUSION WITHIN THE NEIGHBOR.
COULD. SP TWELVE NINETY NINE
WILL GIVE FULL CONTROL OF THE
HARBOR LANDS TO THE CITY BY
ASSUMING OWNERSHIP OF THE LAND
THE CITY WOULD HAVE MORE
FLEXIBILITY TO. DECIDE WHAT IS
BEST FOR THE HARBOR Y. MAINTAIN
PUBLIC ACCESS AND PUBLIC SAFETY
MEASURES. I KNOW THIS BILL IS A
WORK IN PROGRESS AND I THINK THE
CHAIR AND COMMITTEESTAFF FOR
WORKING WITH ME AS THE BILL
MOVES THROUGH THE PARK LET'S SAY
PROCESS. I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH THE CITY OF HUNTINGTON
BEACH AND THE STATE LANDS
COMMISSION AS A TRANSFER
AGREEMENT.
ON A TRANSFER AGREEMENT THAT IS
ACCEPTABLE TO BOTH THE CITY AND
THE STATE.
AT THIS.
.
AND I ASK FOR NICE VOTE.
AT I ALSO HAVE MISTER CHAIRMAN
WITH ME HERE TODAY IS.
OUR MAY PORTEND FOR THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH ERIC PETERSON
TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT.
IT IS ONE OF A FIVE.
MOST FAMOUS RESIDENT
I BOUGHT THIS IN SUPPORT OF THIS
MEASURE.
HE'S NOT IN THE HARBOR NOT IN
THE HARBOR THAT I. KNOW AND
IMAGINING HUNTINGTON BEACH ISN'T
GOING TO BE EASY BUT NOT A
FARMER.
ALL THIS SEEMS TO.
OKAY
HE'S OUR POLICE THANKS FOR
COMING UP OH NO FROM GOOD
MORNING CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MY NAME'S ERIC
PETERSON I'M THE MAYOR PRO TEM
HUNTINGTON BEACH.
ON BEHALF OF THE CITY I'D LIKE
TO EXPRESS OUR STRONG SUPPORT
FOR S. B. TWELVE NINETY NINE.
CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH IS A
COASTAL COMMUNITY IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA OF ABOUT A TWO
HUNDRED AND TEN THOUSAND
RESIDENTS
WITH A RICH HISTORY IN A STRONG
COASTAL IDENTITY.
WITHIN THE CITY AS A COMMUNITY
WE REFER TO AS THE HUNTINGTON
HARBOUR WHICH.
HELLO HOUSES ROUGHLY.
THIRTY FIVE HUNDRED RESIDENTS.
AND DIRECTLY BORDERS THE COAST.
THE HARBOR IS MADE UP OF TWO
LARGE WATERWAYS HAS WAS
STATED THE MAIN AND THE MIDWAY
CHANNELS LONG WAS SOMBER SEVERAL
OTHER ANCILLARY WATERWAYS.
RESIDENTS OF THE HARBOR CITIZENS
AND VISITORS ENJOYED THE
PLEASURE OF A SERIES OF
CONNECTED NAVIGABLE WATERWAYS
AND FOR TRANSPORTATION AND
ACTIVITIES.
CURRENTLY THE MAIN IN MIDWAY
CHANNELS ARE UNDER JURISDICTION
THE STATE LANDS COMMISSION.
UNDER THE CURRENT LAW RESIDENTS
TO OWN PROPERTY SUCH A SMALL
BOAT DOCKS ARE CAM LEVER DECKS.
BAR THAT ENCROACH ON THE MAIN
AND WAIT WAIT CHANNELS ARE
REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN A LEASE
WITH THE STATE LANDS COMMISSION
FOR THAT LAND.
THE REST OF THE HARBOR THAT
INCLUDES A MAJORITY OF THE
RESIDENTS.
ISN'T IS NOT REQUIRED TO ENTER
INTO A STATE LANDS COMMISSION
BUT. OR A LEASE WITH THE CITY.
THE RESULT OF SPLIT OWNERSHIP
BETWEEN THE STATE LANDS
COMMISSION IN THE CITY CREATES
ANAD INEQUITY. OF LEASING
PRACTICES
THAT HAS LED TO NEIGHBORHOOD
CONTENTION WITHIN THE HARBOR.
WE HAVE HEARD FROM NUMEROUS
MEMBERS OF THE HARBOUR
REPEATEDLY ABOUT THE ISSUE
HOWEVER AS A CITY.
WE ARE POWERLESS TO ADDRESS THE
ISSUE AND MUST REFER THEM TO
STATE LANDS WITH MIXED RESULTS.
S. B. TWELVE NINETY NINE WOULD
GIVE LOCAL CONTROL TO THE CITY
BY TRANSFERRING THE LANDS OWNED
BY THE STATE LAND COMMISSION.
TO THE HONEY OF THE IN THE
HARBOR TO THE CITY.
THE CITY IS COMMITTED TO WORKING
WITH THE STATE LANDS ON A TRUST
LAND USE PLAN THAT WILL BE OUT
ONE THE DETAILED PRESERVATION.
OF THE GRANTED LANDS.
THE CITY IS PREPARED AND WILLING
TO ASSUME THE MAINTENANCE AND
OPERATION OF THE LAND GRANTED TO
US BY THE BILL.
SINCE THE CITY ALREADY PERFORMS
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE SERVICES.
IN THAT AREA IT IT'S NOT A BIG
BURDEN ON THE CITY.
WE'RE JUST ASKING OF THANK YOU
FOR HAVING US UP HERE AND THANK
YOU FOR CONSIDERING SP TWELFTH
NINETY NINE. ANYBODY ELSE IN
SUPPORT ANY OPPOSITION STATE
LANDS WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THIS
YOU LIKE THIS I KNOW YOU'RE JUST
FOR REFERENCE BUT SINCE YOU'RE
HERE.
WHICH ONE TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS
ON THIS.
I THINK YOU AYE SHERRY PEMBERTON
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
STATE LANDS COMMISSION THE
COMMISSION DOESN'T HAVE A
POSITION ON THIS LEGISLATION.
BOB BUT I STAFF WE DO HAVE A WE
DO HAVE CONCERNS BECAUSE WE
HAVEN'T HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO
WORK.
WITH THE CITY AND THE AUTHORS
OFFICE ON THIS CONCEPT AND
GRANTING PUBLIC TRUST LANDS TO A
LOCAL JURISDICTION IS THE
MATTER.
.
IT'S REALLY NOT TO BE TAKEN
LIGHTLY AND WE THINK THAT IF
IT'S AT A POINT WHERE THE
LEGISLATURE IS CONSIDERING
MAKING A GRANT THERE SHOULD BE
AGREEMENT ON THAT.
TERMS IN THE PROVISIONS IN THE
GRAND X. STATUTE FOR THESE
PUBLIC TRUST LANDS
GOOD I'M GLAD YOU INCLUDED THAT.
THEY WANTED A BOOK YOU YOUR
CHANCES THAT ISSUE IT'S
IMPORTANT OBVIOUSLY TO DISOBEY
HE'LL. YES MISTER CHAIRMAN.
OUR STAFF AND YOU SHOULD.
YEAH.
OURSTAFF AND THE CITY AND ALSO
LANDS COMMISSION STAFF HAS BEEN
WORKING HAS MADE CONVERSATION.
ON THIS PROCESS HAS BASH YOU
STARTED FOR ME ALMOST ON. WHEN I
FIRST GOT TO THE SENATE
BOB IT'S TAKEN THE CITY QUITE
AWHILE BECAUSE JUST TRY TO
UNDERSTAND WHO. WHICH PROMPTED
WHERE WHO OWNS WHAT HOW MANY
HOMES WERE TALKING ABOUT WHICH
CHANNEL ON MANIC SAID DRAW. ON
BUT I DO MAYANS UNDERSTANDING IS
THE CITY MY STAFF AND THE MAN'S
COMMISSION STAFF HAS BEEN A
CONVERSATION AND WE ARE
COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT.
THIS WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD
UNLESS THERE'S AN AGREEMENT
BETWEEN TO LANCE COMMISSION AND
THE CITY REGULATING FURTHER FROM
THE.
.
MONNING.
THANK YOU I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A
WORK IN PROGRESS I'M JUST
CURIOUS AS I READ THIS.
THE COMMISSION CURRENTLY
RECEIVES
APPROXIMATELY THREE HUNDRED
FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR
FROM LEASE RENTS.
IF THIS BILL WERE TO GO THROUGH
WITH THOSE LEASE TRANCE THING GO
TO THIS CITY OF HUNTINGTON
BEACH.
I WOULD ASSUME SO.
SENATOR MINING CURRENTLY RIGHT
NOW MY IN THE STANDS THE CITY'S
ASHY. ARE THE ONE WHO'S DREADING
AND TAKING CARE OF THE CHANNEL
THEY'RE ACTUALLY PAYING FOR
THAT.
THE LANCE COMMISSION OR NOT
WE'RE JUST WHICH IS THE OWNER OF
THE LAND BUT THE WORK IS BEING
DONE BY THE CITY AND I MEAN
THAT.
MAY PUT TEN CAN ADD TO THAT ON
AND SO ON THE CD CAN'T CHOOSE TO
EITHER. CONTINUE WHAT THAT LEASE
OR NOTS BECAUSE MAJORITY OF THE
PROPERTY AND ALL AROUND IT
THERE'S NO LEASE AT ALL THERE'S
NO FEES.
I SUSPECT IT'LL BE A DEEP PART
OF THE NEGOTIATIONS AND THAT
FEASIBLE IS THAT CORRECT. I
WOULD US I WOULD ASSUME SO
MISTER CHAIRMAN PRESUMABLY SOME
OF THAT.
I'M ASSUME HUNTINGTON BEACH
WOULD WANT SOME OF THAT LEASE.
REVENUE TO BE USED FOR THE
MAINTENANCE DREDGING YES ANY
ANYTHING COLLECTED FROM THOSE
LEASES.
ACTUALLY HAS TO GO TO JUST
MAINTAINING THAT CHANNEL OR
THOSE TWO CHANNELS.
WE'RE LOOKING AT.
IN THIS PROCESS FORMING A HARBOR
COMMISSION.
TO GO THROUGH AND JUST DEAL
WITH A LOT OF PROBLEMS WE
ACTUALLY HAVE WITHIN THOSE
CHANNELS IN.
WHETHER IT BE THE TYPES OF SEA
WALLS THAT ARE BUILT SORT OF
STANDARDIZING ON THINGS SAFETY
PROBLEMS OF BEING ABLE TO
STANDARDIZE THOSE WE HAVE
JURISDICTION OF THE REST OF THE
HARBOR BUT THESE WE DON'T SO.
THERE'S A LOT MORE THAN JUST
THE LEASES FOR US.
IT'S MORE OF
BRINGING THE HARBOR UNDER ONE.
RULE OF LAW SORT OF THINK THE
STATE OF OKAY OFF THEIR YOU
WOULDN'T CONSIDER AN AMENDMENT
TO RECOGNIZE SANTA CRUZ IS THE
SURFING CAPITAL.
NO NO. WHAT WOULD THAT DID THIS
BILL GO FORWARD? CAN JUST CHECK
THINK IF. YOU LOOK YOU'LL YOU'LL
WORK WITH MISS PEMBERTON AT THE
AT THE LANDS COMMISSION WILL TO
STAY CLOSE ON THIS BILL AS I
STAY WILL STILL STAY INVOLVED

PROGRESS.

THIS ISSUE IS BURIED IN VERY
IMPORTANT.
TO THIS AREA SINCE I SERVED. ON

MANY OF THE LOCAL RESIDENTS AND
ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS REYES
CONCERN AND OPENLY SAN JOSE

ARE CRITICAL OF PUBLIC RESOURCES

ON THOSE RESOURCES IMPORTANT WE
KNOW THAT THE SENATOR WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS.
WE.

OVERSIGHT OF PUBLIC INPUT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
MICHAEL RIGHT AGAIN ON BEHALF OF
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF
SANTA CLARA COUNTY.
THE COUNTY'S ENTERS REALLY
ENSURING THAT THE PUBLIC AND
STAKEHOLDERS HAVE.
AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE.
DECISION MAKING PROCESS RELATED
TO THAT TIMBER HARVESTING.
AS A SENATOR INDICATED.
.
FAST.
AT LEAST A DECADE.
THERE WAS A SIMILAR PROPOSAL
THAT.
IT WAS PRETTY INCREDIBLE THE
AMOUNT OF.
.
CONCERN AND ANGST BEING
EXPRESSED BY STAKEHOLDERS.
THAT NECESSITATED SEVERAL BOARD
SUPERVISOR MEETINGS.
WHICH LED TO THE OTTOMAN
WITHDRAWAL OF THE PROPOSAL BACK.
AGAIN IT'S IT'S ABOUT
TRANSPARENCY IN ENSURING THAT
THAT THE INTERESTED PARTIES HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO.
.
TO MAKE THEIR VIEWS KNOWN THANK
YOU SO MUCH OTHERS IN SUPPORT.
ANY OPPOSITION.
SITTING IN HEARING NONE I'M
JOKING.
GOOD.
YOU COULD HAVE A SENIOR FUTURES
AVERAGE GOING TO SPEAK.
MISTER TERRY MEMBERS JENNIFER
COMPUTER LOW ON BEHALF OF SAN
JOSE WATER COMPANY AND
OPPOSITION TO ASK YOU FOURTEEN
FOURTEEN. I WAS SENATOR BOTH
STATED SAN JOSE WATER IS A
PUBLIC UTILITY REGULATED BY THE
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION.
PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY WATER
SERVICE TO UP. A MILLION
RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF SAN
JOSE.
SAN JOSE WATER HAS BEEN IN
BUSINESS AND SERVING THE
RESIDENTS OF THE SAN JOSE REGION
SINCE EIGHTEEN SIXTY SIX HUNDRED
AND FIFTY TWO YEARS.
THEY OWN SIXTY FOUR HUNDRED
ACRES OF UNDEVELOPED LAND AND
THE WATERSHED AND THE SANTA CRUZ
MOUNTAINS.
THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS
WATERSHED IS TO CAPTURE.
STORE WATER PRECIPITATION AND
RUNOFF
THESE LANDS ARE A CRITICAL
SOURCE AND TAKES AND OTHER WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE. ALL OF THIS IS
USED TO A GUY AND TO DELIVER
SAFE CLEAN DRINKING WATER
TEHERAN TO THE CUSTOMERS OF THE
SAN JOSE REGION.
NONE OF THE WATERSHED LANDS ARE
CURRENTLY USED FOR TIMBER
HARVESTING NOR ARE THEY SUBJECT
OF A TIMBER HARVESTING PLAN.
COMMERCIAL TEMPERING TIMBER
HARVESTING HAS NEVER BEEN
PRACTICE ON THE WATERSHED LANDS
DURING SAN JOSE'S OWNERSHIP.
TEN YEARS AGO AS IT'S BEEN
STATED SAN JOSE STOP APPROVAL OF
A NON INDUSTRIAL TIMBER
MANAGEMENT PLAN. WHICH WAS
ACTUALLY DENIED RIGHT CAL FIRE
ON AN ACREAGE TECHNICALITY IT
WAS NOT POLL THOSE WAS MENTIONED
PREVIOUSLY.
THE NEW PUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL
REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS FOR
TEACH P. THAN TIMBER HARVESTING
OPERATIONS IN XP FOURTEEN
FOURTEEN. ARE HOLY DUPLICATIVE
OF EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
REQUIRED.
ADDITIONALLY THE BILL ALLOWS ONE
AGENCY MID PENINSULA WITH ZERO
EXPERIENCE IN FOREST MANAGEMENT
INTO THE REVIEW PROCESS.
ESSENTIALLY PROVIDING THAT
AGENCY WITH VETO POWER THAT
EXISTING LAW DOES NOT PROVIDE
FOR.
THESE REQUIREMENTS WOULD ONLY
APPLY TO SAN JOSE WATER
COMPANIES WATERSHED LANDS WHICH
IS NOTABLE BECAUSE IT CALLS INTO
QUESTION THE JUSTIFICATION THAT
THERE IS A DEFICIENCY. AN
EXISTING LAW THAT THE BILL IS
REMEDYING. IF THAT WERE THE CASE
S. B. FOURTEEN FOURTEEN WOULD
AND SHOULD BE A LOT OF GENERAL
APPLICABILITY. INSTEAD OF A
MAJOR THAT PARTICULARLY TARGETS
SAN JOSE WATER COMPANY.
SAN JOSE BELIEVES THAT S. B.
FOURTEEN FOURTEEN IS UNNECESSARY
EXPENSIVE AND PUNITIVE. THAT
PLACES RESTRICTIONS ON THEIR
ABILITY TO MANAGE THEIR CRITICAL
WATERSHED LANDS CONSERVATION.
AND BENEFITS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS
WITHOUT PROVIDING ANY NEW OR
ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL
BENEFIT.
I'M SENATOR BELLA'S MANSION THAT
HE BELIEVES THERE ARE
DEFICIENCIES AND THE PUBLIC
REVIEW PROCESS.
WE RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WHEN
SAN JOSE SUBMITTED THE AND T. M.
P. TEN YEARS AGO THERE WERE
PUBLIC HEARINGS FIVE HUNDRED.
PLUS ATTENDEES EXPRESSED THEIR
CONCERN AND NOT PERMIT WAS NOT
APPROVED THE EXISTING PROCESS
WORKS.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THE
ONLY REASON THAT SAN JOSE WATER
COMPANY PROPOSED A TIMBER
MANAGEMENT PLAN. WAS TO FIND
FIRE HOUSE HAZARD MITIGATION AND
OTHER LAND MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
WITH OUT PUTTING THOSE COSTS
INTO WATER RIGHT.
AND LIKE TO END WITH COMMENTS ON
ONE SENTENCE IN THE BILL MANNER
READ IT TO YOU.
THE TRANSFER OF SAN JOSE WATER
COMPANIES PROPERTIES TO THE MID
PENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE
DISTRICT PURSUANT TO SECTION
FIVE FIVE FOUR OPEN TO OF THE
PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE.
PROVIDING THE BEST OPPORTUNITY
TO ADDRESS THE WATER FIRE.
WATER QUALITY AND HABITAT VALUES
OF THE PROPERTIES.
THE FEE INTEREST IN SAN JOSE
WATER COMPANY OF LAND IS NOT FOR
SALE OR TRANSFER. THE LAND IS
NECESSARY TO PROVIDE SAFE CLEAN
DRINKING WATER TO A MILLION
RESIDENTS IN THE SAN JOSE
REGION.
HISTORICALLY TIME PERCENT OF THE
SAN JOSE WATER COMPANIES WATER
SUPPLY COMES FROM THESE
WATERSHED LANDS THIS IS A WATER
SUPPLY FOR APPROXIMATELY A
HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE A YEAR.
AND WINTER MONTHS THE WATERSHED
CAN PROVIDE UP TO A THIRD OF THE
TOTAL WATER USED.
TO THE LIVER AND THE SYSTEM ON
ANY DAY. IF SAN JOSE WAS NO
LONGER ABLE TO USE THIS
WATERSHED FOR DRINKING WATER AND
WAS FORCED TO REPLY SOLELY ON.
IMPORTED WATER BUT COST OF
CUSTOMERS WOULD BE TEN TIMES THE
COST OF WATER CURRENTLY PROVIDED
THROUGH THE WATERSHED.
EVEN IF SAN JOSE COULD COME TO
AGREEMENT WITH SENATOR VAUGHN
AWAY TO SELL CERTAIN INTERESTS
IN THE WATERSHED LAND. BUT
MAINTAIN WATER AND RELATED
MANAGEMENT RIGHTS
SAN JOSE DOES NOT SO CONFIDENT
THAT MADE PAN WOULD. BE ABLE TO
PROPERLY MANAGE THE LAND FOR
FIRE PROTECTION. OR ALLOW THE
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S ON THE
LAND.
SAN JOSE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY
MANAGING THESE LANDS FOR OVER A
HUNDRED YEARS
WE'VE SEEN A NUMBER OF
CATASTROPHIC FIRES IN CALIFORNIA
IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. AND I'M
SURE THAT YOU ALL KNOW THAT IF
WE HAVE A FOREST FIRE WATER
QUALITY IS DAMAGED AS A RESULT
THE FIGHTER.
IF THERE WAS EVEN A SMALL FIRE
IN THIS AREA THE WATER SUPPLY
COULD BE UNUSABLE FOR UP TO
THREE YEARS.
IF THIS LEGISLATION MOVES
FORWARD IT WILL RESULT IN
SIGNIFICANT BURDEN ON THE
WATERSHED LANDS.
AND FOR THE BENEFIT AND THE
CUSTOMERS OF SAN JOSE WATER
COMPANY WE ASK FOR YOUR NO VOTE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIRMAN MY
NAME IS SARAH LAWRENCE CAMP I'M
I NOT AND ARE SURE FORCE
LANDOWNER.
WITH PROPERTY NEVADA COUNTY.
I'M HERE TO DO AND I'M ALSO
REGISTERED.
FOR SURE WITH THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA I'VE BEEN PRACTICING
OF FORESTRY FOR MORE THAN FORTY
YEARS ON PRIVATE AND.
PUBLIC LAND OWNERSHIP LOT TODAY
I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF FORCE WHEN
I WAS A CALIFORNIA WHICH IS.
A.
OR NON INDUSTRIAL LAND OWNERS.
OUR MEMBERS ARE PASSIONATE
ABOUT DUH MAINTAINING BOTH A
LEGACY AND.
THE.
ENVIRONMENT.
ON THEIR LANDS.
OUR OUR GROUP MANAGES ABOUT
THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
ACRES OF OUR PRIVATE PROPERTY
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
WERE HERE TO OPPOSE.
S. B. FOURTEEN FOURTEEN.
AS AMENDED.
INCLUDING THE AMENDMENTS THAT
HAVE BEEN OFFERED.
BY A COMMITTEE STAFF ON AT THIS
POINT WE BELIEVE THAT.
THE.
BILL TARGETS A SINGLE LAND
ORDER WHICH WE THINK IS GOING TO
SET A US OF A REALLY BAD
PRESIDENT.
FOR.
OTHER FROM PRIVATE OWNERS
EDUCATION TO PUBLIC ENTITIES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
AND.
THERE ARE OTHER IT SHOULD BE
NOTED THAT THERE ARE OTHER WATER
PURVEYORS IN THE SANTA CRUZ
MOUNTAINS WHO DO MANAGE THEIR
PLANS ARE USING OUR TIMBER
HARVESTING.
SUCCESSFULLY.
TO MAINTAIN WATER SUPPLY SO
IT'S NOT AN IMPOSSIBILITY OUGHT
TO HAVE JIM HARVESTING.
ON ON.
GRANTS GIVEN THE REQUIREMENTS
OF THE TIMBER HARVESTING.
RULES AND REGULATIONS IN THE
PROVISIONS ARE FOR. THE CENTER
CRUZ SANTA CLARA.
AND SAN MATEO COUNTIES.
.
ZUBIATE HUH WOULD LIKE TO POINT
OUT IN THE FIELD DISCERNIBLE
REFERRED TO THE FIRE HAZARD HERE
IS BEING EXTREME WELL THE.
MOST RECENTLY RISE MAPS PUT IT
IS VERY HIGH.
WHICH IS STILL OBVIOUSLY IS A
DIFFICULT PROBLEM BECAUSE.
THE LANDS IN THE IN THE THOMAS
FIRE IN DECEMBER THE LANDS.
THERE WERE IN THE NORTH BAY
FIRES IN OCTOBER WERE FALL UNDER
THE SAME CATEGORY.
SO IN LESS WE DO VEGETATIVE
MANAGEMENT AND HAVE AN ONGOING
VEGETATIVE MASHAL PROGRAM.
YOU WE RUN THE RISK OF HAVING A
FIRE THE LAST MAJOR FIRE WHICH
IN NINETEEN EIGHTY FIVE AND WHAT
YOU CAN FIRE. DOWN THERE IT
BURNED THE WHOLE WATERSHED IT'S
BEEN THIRTY THREE YEARS THAT
TIME IS RIGHT PROBABLY IN THE
NEXT. DECADE OR TWO TO HAVE
ANOTHER MAJOR FIRE WHICH WILL.
LIKELY ADVERSELY OF IMPACT THE.
WATER QUALITY.
FROM
IF PROPERTY BOMB IT LET'S TALK
ABOUT THE COST OF DOING ARE
VEGETATIVE MANAGEMENT IF YOU
DON'T HAVE SOME WAY TO PAY FOR
WORK USE A TIMBER HARVESTING
PLAN.
THE COST OUT THE DOOR BEFORE YOU
EVEN TURN ON THE CHAINSAW. OFFER
PROPERTY LIKE THIS IS PROBABLY
FIFTY TO SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS.
YOU KNOW THEY IT'S AN
EXTRAORDINARY.
BURDENSOME COSTS TO BE ABLE TO
TO.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AND PROTECT
THE WATERSHED.
VALUES THE PUBLIC VALUES OTHER
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ARE THERE IS
SOME CONCERN ABOUT A WILDLIFE
HABITAT TO A PARTICULAR THE
MOUNTAIN ALLIANCE. OF THE
MOUNTAIN LIONS IN THE SANTA CRUZ
AREA ARE.
IT'S ONE OF THE THE.
BEST POPULATIONS IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA.
THERE WAS SOME QUESTION ABOUT
THEIR HOME RANGE HOME RANGE FOR
A MOUNTAIN LION IS SOMEWHERE
BETWEEN THIRTY AND FORTY
THOUSAND ACRES WHICH EXCEEDS THE
SIZE OF THE THREE WATERSHEDS.
OWNED.
BY A MID PENINSULA.
IN SAN JOSE WATER.
THAT WERE A PART OF THE
ORIGINAL OR THE ANTI MP AND AND
TWO THOUSAND SIX.
BOB THE COMMITTEE I WOULD LIKE
TO COMPLIMENT THE GONNA
COMMITTEES CONSULTANT FOR TRYING
TO FIND A MIDDLE GROUND AS HE
SAID.
IT IS.
NOT AN EASY PROCESS ARM BUT WE
OUGHT TO CONTINUE TO.
VOICE OPPOSITION TO THIS AND
I'D LIKE TO TOUCH ON A COUPLE OF
POINTS HERE ONE IS THE ANTI MP
ISSUE. THE ANTI MP WAS DESIGNED
TO BE A LIGHT TOUCH OUR PROJECT
IT IT CANNOT BE APPLIED TO SAN
JOSE WATER BASED ON OF THE
RULINGS.
YOU DON'T ON IN THE TWO
THOUSAND SIX HEARING BUT I IT
COULD BE A VIABLE OPTION SOME
POINT IN THE FUTURE SO WE WOULD
HATE TO SEE. THIS GO FORWARD.
THE THE LANGUAGE BUT A
CONCERNING THE HARVESTING AND
REDUCING FUEL LOADING.
IS UNCLEAR AT THE BEST AND I
THINK IT HAS IS.
NOW WOULD CREATE NOTHING BUT
CONTROVERSY I AM TRYING TO.
MANAGE THE PROPERTY IN THE
FUTURE. MONEY BOMB THERE IS NO
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL HEARINGS.
THERE UNDER THE.
PRC.
FORTY FIVE FIFTEEN POINT FIVE
AYE AND THE FORCE PRACTICE
RULES.
ALL OF THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES
SAN MATEO SANTA CRUZ AND SANTA
CLARA HAVE.
PETITION THE BOARD OF FORESTRY
LA FOR RULES THOSE RULES ARE IN
PLACE CHAIRMAN.
BELL IS FOR ME OR THAT HE
SIGNED A LETTER ASKING FOR A
PUBLIC HEARING.
IN TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN THAT
HEARING WAS GRANTED JUNE TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN THERE AN
EXCESS OF.
FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE THAT
ATTENDED THAT HEARING THEM SO
THERE IS PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY.
YEAH UNDER THE CURRENT PROCESS
TO BE ABLE TO MANAGE TO FIND
THE.
WE WE DO AGREE WITH THE
COMMITTEE.
RESOLUTION TO TO DROP MID MID
PENINSULA.
IS OUR ABILITY TO PASS A
RESOLUTION THAT WOULD BE LIKE
HOLDING A GUN TO YOUR HEAD.
AND.
YOU KNOW BUT WE'VE WE DISAGREE
WITH THEIR THEIR ADDITION ON
THE.
REVIEW TEAM PROCESS THEY DID
PARTICIPATE IN THE REVIEW TEAM
PROCESS.
WHEN THE NAM AND NOT ISSUE
MEASURE PLAN WAS.
HEARD IN TWO THOUSAND FIVE AND
TWO THOUSAND SIX AYE THEY SPENT
MORE THAN FIVE DAYS THERE BUT
WERE ALSO VERY CONCERNED THAT.
MID PENINSULA HAS.
THE APPEARANCE IF NOT AN ACTUAL
CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND I'D
LIKE TO READ JUST ONE SENTENCE
ROOM WAIHEKE OF YOUR TIME GOING
TO BE RESPECTFUL GOOD LOCAIS ARE
ONE OR SENS. ARE WOMEN HIM WHO
IS THE
NATURIST WORSE MANAGER FOR OUR
MID PENINSULA OPEN SAY SAID IN
THE PUBLIC HEARING. BOMB.
THE LAND.
ATLANTA SHOULD BE PURCHASED BY
MID.
SO.
THEIR PARTICIPATION ARE I IN
THE.
REVIEW TEAM PROCESS WOULD WOULD
LIKELY CREATE. MORE PROBLEMS AND
RATHER THAN SOLVING PROBLEMS SO
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ABSOLUTELY.
OTHERS IN THE OPPOSITION.
I AM.
FOR SINGLE VICKI WITH THE
CALIFORNIA FORESTRY ASSOCIATION
WE APPRECIATE THE MEETING WITH
THE AUTHORS OFFICE HOWEVER WE
THINK THIS BILL IS UNNECESSARY
SINCE THERE'S AN EXISTING
PROCESS. TO ADOPT SPECIAL RULES
AND WE ALSO FIND THIS TO BE A
VERY DANGEROUS PRECEDENT WITH
REGARDS TO TIMBER HARVESTING
PLANS THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR BEING. MEDICARE MEMBERS
BRIAN WHITE HERE ON BEHALF THE
CALCULATIONS FORCES ASSOCIATION
WE ARE THE STATE'S REGISTERED
PROFESSIONAL FORESTERS AND WE
ARE THE ONLY ENTITIES THAT
CONNECTS THE CERTIFIED TIMBER
HAVESTING PLAN. WOULD MUST
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THE BILL AS
WELL A NOT SANTA GOT WORK THAT
THE OX COMMITTEE STEPS DONE AND
THE THE. FACT THAT THE BILL HAS
SAID IT'S A DISTRICT BILL WE
THINK HAS SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE
STATE PRESIDENTIAL.
IMPACTS WILL FOR THOSE REASONS
WE ACTUALLY NOBLE. ACTION.
GOOD MORNING MEMBERS EXCUSE ME
ROBERT SPIEGEL CALIFORNIA FARM
BUREAU FEDERATION FOR MANY OF
THE REASONS STATED BY THE
PREVIOUS SPEAKERS WE TOO ARE
OPPOSED TO THIS LEGISLATION
THANK YOU.
THANKS VERY MUCH.
KELLER NOW FOR THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ARE STILL
OPPOSED.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
QUESTIONS.
CEREMONY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I AM JUST
CURIOUS AUTHORS RESPONSE TO SOME
OF THE. CONCERNS RAISED BY THE
OPPOSITION THAT HAVE NO PLACE TO
RESPOND.
.
TWO RESPONSES SO THE BILL'S THE
FIRST OF ALL THE BILL'S ABOUT
OPENING UP THE PUBLIC. INPUT
PROCESS.
UP IN AN AREA WHERE TIMBER
HARVESTING IS BEING DISCUSSED
AND HAS BEEN DISCUSSED.
NOT JUST ONCE BUT SEVERAL TIMES.
IN VARIOUS CONTEXTS IS.
OVER OVER THE LAST.
TWO DECADES.
.
BUSINESSES BEEN DISCUSS ON AND
ON AND ON AND ON.
AND.
WILL CONTINUE TO BE DISCUSSED
AND I THINK.
.
THE BILL CRITIQUES.
ON OPPORTUNITY FOR AN AREA
THAT'S REALLY.
TIMBER BUT ALSO HAS INTERFACE
WITH A LARGE POPULATION WHERE
PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIVE IN AROUND.
THE TIMBER SO I THINK IT'S A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE.
.
THE NORMAL TIMBER HARVEST AREA
WHERE YOU HAVE.
A SEGREGATED.
AREA OF TIMBER.
WITH MAYBE A FEW HOUSES A SAYS
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED HOUSES.
AND PROBABLY MORE THAT WE DON'T
KNOW ABOUT OF OKAY.
QUITE HONESTLY WHEN YOU GO UP IN
THE MOUNTAINS SOMETIMES YOU FIND
SOME.
HOUSES THAT ARE.
WITHOUT THE PROPER BUILDING
PERMITS AND SO FORTH SO YOU
PROBABLY HAVE A LOT MORE PEOPLE.
LIVING UP IN THOSE AREAS AND
SECONDLY.
IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THIS
TIMBER HARVEST AREA IS A IS A
BIG BERMAN AREA LOS STATUS.
AND.
QUITE FRANKLY THIS CANYON IS A
VERY DANGEROUS CANYON.
IT'S PSALM.
IT'S.
OF WE'RE TRYING TO GET
INFORMATION ON.
THIS FROM CAL FIRE.
PEOPLE WANT TO OF GET
INFORMATION I MADE A REQUEST.
SENATOR.
.
TWO LOOK AT THE PAST
APPLICATION.
THE SAN JOSE WATER COMPANY HAD.
FOR THIS FROM CAL FIRE.
AND.
I SAID I'D LIKE TO GET A COPY
OF THE APPLICATION.
OKAY.
CALPERS SAID WE CAN GIVE IT TO
YOU HAVE TO GET FROM THE
OUTCOME.
OKAY SO. THAT'S THE PROCESS WE
HAVE NOW TO GET INFORMATION
OKAY.
IF.
SO MY BILL IS OWN IS NOT ABOUT
THE PROPERTY. A DEVALUE THE
PROPERTY YOU'RE BUYING THE
PROPERTY VALUE THAT WAS ABOUT IS
A.
PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS THAT
WE'RE INSTALLING.
IN THIS BILL FOR THIS AREA.
IT DOES NOT DO THE OTHER PARTS
OF THE BILL.
THEY ACTED PARTS OF THE BILL
DEAL WITH THE PUBLIC HEARING.
PROCESS HAVING.
MORE PUBLIC INPUT AND MAKING UP
THE WHOLE PROCESS DISCUSSION.
VERY TRANSPARENT. RATHER THAN
HAVING LIKE SERVICE CHAOTIC.
PROCESS THE DAUM HAS EXISTED IN
THE PAST.
SO SO ARM.
UNEARTHING HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP
IS CALM.
IF YEARS AGO REMEMBER.
CENTER CHESBRO BILL ON TIMBER
HARVESTING.
WELL.
THERE IS AN AMENDMENT THAT BILL.
AT THE LAST MINUTE TO INCLUDE
THIS AREA IN THE BILL SO THE
TIMBER HARVESTING GO AHEAD.
AGAINST THE WISHES OF THE THE
COUNTIES IN THAT AREA.
THERE WAS A LAST MINUTE
AMENDMENT IN THAT BILL TO AND WE
AND NUMBER WE HAVE TO STE WE HAD
TO STAND UP ON THE FLOOR. OF THE
SENATE AND.
AND ASKED THAT BE REMOVED.
ON THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE AND
IF IT WAS REMOVED ON THE FLOOR
AND SENATE.
.
THE PROCESS WOULD HAVE BEEN
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SO THERE'S
BEEN ATTEMPTS.
LET'S BE HONEST ABOUT THERE'S
BEEN ATTEMPTS.
TO MAKE KID. EITHER EASIER TO
TIMBER HARVESTS OUR ACTUAL
APPLICATIONS FOR TIMBER HARVEST.
BEING OUT AT NIGHT AND I THINK.
THERE'S A HISTORY HERE.
I THINK SO SO THAT'S WHAT THAT'S
WHAT THE BILL'S ABOUT BASICALLY
THANK YOU SENATOR. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR ANY FURTHER
QUESTIONS FOR SENATOR BILL. DUST
CENTER BILL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH RICHER IT ALSO
KNOW THAT THEIR LISTENERS AND
WORK ON THIS ISSUE FOR QUITE
SOME TIME.
IN DO APPRECIATE DILIGENCE BUT
I I THINK THE ONE ITEM THAT WANT
TO BE ABLE TO FOCUS IN ON AN
INDISPUTABLE IT'S. A MISTER
CENTERS OF.
.
THE SLIPPERY SLOPE RIGHT THAT I
IS ALWAYS DISCUSS IN BEING OF
THE CRATE THAT PRECEDENT FEWER
TOUCH UNEXCITING THAT IS THAT'S
ONE ITEM. I THAT WAS ADVANCED IN
REGARDS TO CREATE A PRECEDENT I
KNOW THIS IS A ONE OFF. JUST
FOCUSING ON ONE PROJECT BUT FEEL
LIKE TOUCHING ON THAT.
WELL.
.
AGAINST I CAN TALK ABOUT THE OUT
THERE THERE IS MANY BILLS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA ON DIFFERENT SUBJECTS
THAT DEAL WITH. LAND USE TIMBER
HARVESTING XTERRA FOR SPECIFIC
AREAS AND STAY.
MY BILL IS UNIQUELY FOR MY AREA
OF THE STATE. AND THIS
PARTICULAR AREA AND SO IT'S ONLY
APPLIED MY OPINION. NOT HONESTLY
YOU KNOW YOU CAN ALL YOU CAN SAY
ABOUT JUST ABOUT ANY BILL. BUT
THIS IS ONLY APPLYING TO THIS
ONE AREA.
SO IT HAS NO APPLICATION FOR ANY
OTHER IN THE STATE. AND I HAVE
NO INTENTION OF MAKING THE
SUPPLY TO ANY OTHER OF THE STATE
THIS IS ONLY A DISTRICT FILL. MY
PLACE IN THIS AREA THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE AND I THINK THAT'S.
IMPORTANT PIECES
THERE IS A PROCESS AYE INVOLVED
IT'S ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED
RIGHT WHEN IT COMES THE ISSUE OF
TIMBER HARVEST PLANS.
AND.
LOOKING AT A WIDER SCALE CHANGE.
WOULD BE OF GREAT CONCERN I
JUST BECAUSE THERE NEED TO BE A
PROCESS BEARD HAD THAT
DISCUSSION. BUT WHAT I'M HEARING
YOU SAY IS THIS IS JUST FOCUS ON
THIS ONE PIECE OF PROPERTY. AYE
IN THIS ONE PROJECT CORRECT.
THANK YOU BUT I JUST THINK IS
MCGUIRE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS.
NOT SENATE BILL WOULD LIKE
CLOSE.
OUR JURY BONUS MONEY THANK YOU.
TO GIVE YOUR TESTIMONY OUR
MOTION.
WHO BY SENATOR MONNING? THIS
WILL BE TO PASS AS AMENDED TO

OKAY.
SENATOR ALLEN ARE YOU READY FOR
THE SP TEN SEVENTY.
THEY WILL GO TO CENTER MCGUIRE
AFTER.
CLOSE ENOUGH TO KEEP TEXTING.
BETTER THAT'S BEACON SEVENTY
PAGES CENTER AND DO APPRECIATE.
YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS BILL.
WHICH SEEKS TO INCENTIVIZE
CALIFORNIA'S.
SWORDFISH.
FISHING INDUSTRY TO TRANSITION
AWAY FROM HARM FOR TERRIFIC ON
THAT'S.
TWO MORE SUSTAINABLE FISHING
GEAR TYPES THAT IS DEEP SAID
BUOYED YOUR SYSTEM.
BY ESTABLISHING A VOLUNTARY.
PROGRAM TO BUYBACK STATE. DRIFT
ON THAT PERMITS WITH PUBLIC AND
PRIVATE FUNDS.
FOR THE BILL CREATES INCENTIVES
FOR FISHERMEN TO TAKE PART IN
THE PROGRAM.
BY GIVING BY BACK PARTICIPANTS A
FREE LIFETIME SWORDFISH PERMIT
DEFICIENT CLEANER GEAR AND PUT.
IT ALSO PUTS ADDITIONAL
REQUIREMENTS ON THE REMAINING
DRIFT ON THAT'S FLEET TO ASSURE
THE BY CATCH.
DOES NOT INCREASE IT ALSO
INCREASES PERMIT FEES
COMMENSURATE.
WITH THE COSTS OF MANAGING THE
FISHERY.
THE BILL CONTAINS A TIERED
APPROACH FOR THE BUYOUT PROGRAM.
OFFERING ACTIVE PERMIT HOLDERS
WHO HAVE LANDED FISH IN THE LAST
FIVE SEASONSTHE HIGHEST VALUE
FOR THEIR PERMIT THROUGH A
SEALED BID. REVERSE AUCTION.
WHICH IS WHERE THEY BASICALLY
CAN SAY TO FOLKS.
YOU KNOW HERE'S WHAT I WOULD.
WANT TO BE PAID TO HAVE MY
PERMIT BOB BACK.
AND AND YOU KNOW.
THEY WILL BE COMPENSATED AT THAT
AT THAT AMOUNT.
I THINK YOU OBVIOUSLY THEY WOULD
START WITH THOSE SAID YOU THOSE
WHO OFFERED THE LOWEST.
AND THE THE LOWEST BIDS.
I PERMIT HOLDERS YOU HAVEN'T
LANDED FACE THE LAST FIVE
SEASONS WOULD BE COMPENSATED AT
A FLAT RATE.
THAT'S
OR IN THE PROCESS OF OF
NEGOTIATING FISHERMEN WHO HAVE
NOW ADDED FISH IN THE LAST TEN
SEASONS.
WILL RECEIVE A LOWER FLAT RATE.
AND FISHERMEN YOU CHOOSE NOT TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE BUYBACK
PROGRAM THEY WOULD THEY WOULD.
TOTALLY VOLUNTARY WOULD BE
ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO USE DRAFT
ON THAT HERE BUT WOULD NOT BE
ALLOWED TO SELL OR TRANSFER THE
PERMIT.
THESE FISHERMEN WILL BE SUBJECT
TO CREASE PERMIT FEES TO BETTER
COVER THAT STATE COSTS A
MANAGING THE FISHERY. ONE OF THE
PERCENT OBSERVER REQUIREMENTS
HARD CAPS
THERE WERE ORIGINALLY PROPOSED
BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO THE
OVERALL BACK.
AND HARD CAPS THAT WOULD YOU
KNOW ULTIMATELY SHUT DOWN THE
FISHING FOR UP TO TWO SEASONS IF
MORE THAN A SET NUMBER OF A
PROTECTED OR SENSITIVE SPECIES
ARE TAKEN.
CONSISTENT WITH THE
RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE
BY THE PACIFIC FISHERIES
MANAGEMENT COUNCIL. AND THE
DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE.
SO TWENTY SIXTEEN YOU MAY RECALL
THAT I DRIVE B. ELEVEN FOURTEEN
TO THIS COMMITTEE THAT BILL
SUGHT TO PHASE OUT OF JOHN
THAT'S A MOVE.
EYES TOWARD DEEP SAID TO EACH
YEAR.
AND A BIG PART OF THE PUSH BACK
ON THAT EFFORT WAS THAT NEW
FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
WE'RE COMING OUT DESIGNED TO
HOLD THE DRIFT NET.
THE DRIFT ON A FISHERY
COUNTABLE THAT INCLUDED BOTH
HARD CAPS IN HOW TO PERCENT
OBSERVER COVERAGE THAT WAS THE
PROPOSAL. COMING OUT OF THE
PERSON EGGMAN FISHERIES
MANAGEMENT COUNCIL AND NOAH AT
THE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
BUT JUST LAST JUNE.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
DECIDED TO SCRAP BOTH OF THOSE
EFFORTS. AND IT WAS A MOVE THAT
WAS STRONGLY OPPOSED BY OUR
DEPARTED FISH AND WILDLIFE IN
THE CALIFORNIA FISH.
AND GAME COMMISSION.
INSTEAD OVER THE OBJECTIONS OF
THE STATE THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION CREATED FEDERAL
LIMITED ENTRY PERMITS FOR THIS
FISHERY WHICH ARE NOW. REQUIRED
IN ADDITION TO THE PROMISE
REQUIRED.
UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW.
NOW ADDING A FEDERAL PERMIT NEW
FEDERAL PERMIT DOES NOTHING TO
ADDRESS THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF
THIS FISHERY ACCORDING TO
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DATA THIS IS
DATA COLLECTED BY NOAH.
THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND
ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION THERE
THEY HAVE OFFICIALLY OBSERVATION
PROGRAM.
AND ACCORDING TO THEIR DATA
CALIFORNIA'S DRIFT.
JOHN THAT FISHERY DISCARDS
NEARLY HALF OF ALL FISH CAUGHT.
IT KILLS OVER SEVENTY DIFFERENT
MARINE SPECIES AS BY CATCH IT
HAS THE HIGHEST RATES OF MARINE
MAMMAL AND SEA TURTLE HARMFUL
INTERACTIONS OF ALL. U. S. WEST
COAST FISHERIES AND ONE OF THE
THINGS TO MENTION AND THERE'S
VIDEO ABOUT THIS.
WHEN WHEN YOU KNOW WHEN YOU
DISCARD FISH.
WORDS SEEM ANIMALS THAT ARE
CAUGHT IN THESE GNATS.
THE THE KILL RATE. OVER TIME
IT'S EXTRAORDINARILY HIGH THE
DAY THAT WE WERE THAT WE GOT
FROM SOME FOLKS IN THE MEDIA
SUGGESTED THAT NEARLY ALL OF THE
DOLPHIN.
WHO GET CAUGHT IN THESE NETS
EVEN IF THEY'RE TURNED BACK INTO
THE OCEAN ALIVE WILL END UP
DYING WITHIN A FEW MONTHS
SAME THING WITH THE WHALES THAT
ARE CAUGHT?
I LOOK AT LOWER DEATH THREE WITH
MOST EMAIL THE WHALES BUT IT'S
STILL PRETTY HIGH I THINK EIGHTY
EIGHT PERCENT AMOUNTS TO WELL
THE NINETY NINE PERCENT AMONGST
THE DOLPHINS LEASE FROM THE DATA
WE GOT YESTERDAY.
ACCORDING TO RESEARCH BY
SCIENTISTS FROM THE NATIONAL
MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE IS AN
M. AFFECTS.
I NEEDS.
CALIFORNIA BOASTS THE HIGHEST
PUBLISHED DENSITY OF DOLPHINS IN
THE WORLD.
OUR PACIFIC LEATHERBACK SEA
TURTLE POPULATION CAN'T AFFORD
EVEN A SINGLE MORTALITY GIVEN.
HOW DANGER THE SPECIES IS
ACCORDING TO MS THE DRIFT ON
THAT HISTORY CONTINUES TO CATCH
WHETHER BACK?
SEA TURTLES AND HAS BY FAR THE
HIGHEST CATCH A DOLPHINS OF ANY.
U. S. WEST COAST FISHERY SO THE
GOAL OF THIS BILL IS TO
ENCOURAGE THIS FLEET TO MOVE
AWAY FROM THE DETRIMENTAL DEAR.
SENATOR FEINSTEIN HAS A BILL AT
THE NATIONAL LEVEL TO CALL FOR
AN OUT.
AND OUT OUT SHE'S OUT NOW BAND
BUT WORLD SUMMIT WE.
CREATING A VOLUNTARY SYSTEM
THAT ACTUALLY PAYS
THE FISHERMEN WHO.
CHOOSE TO BE BOUGHT OUT TO.
HEAR BEING. BE TO STOP USING IS
THAT'S AND THEN HOPEFULLY THEY
CAN THEN USE THE MONEY THAT THEY
GET FROM THE THAT THE BUYOUT.
FOR THIS OTHER GEAR THE DEEP
SAID BOO GEAR AND SOME OF THE
DATA WE DECIDE YESTERDAY
SUGGESTS THAT IT'S ACTUALLY MORE
PROFITABLE.
THEN THE.
THEN THE THE THE THE DRIFT GILL
NETS AS YOU KNOW. AND SO WITH.
THIS IS WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO DO
TO HELP MOVE PEOPLE OFF I THINK
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES OF COURSE
IS THAT PEOPLE ARE DO YOU HAVE
DEEP INVESTMENTS IN THE GEAR
THAT THEY HAD FROM BEFORE. AND
SO THE IDEA OF THE BUY BACK
PROGRAMS THAT DON'T GET THE
MONEY THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO
PURCHASE EITHER MAKE IT
DIFFERENT LIFE DECISION OR
PURCHASE.
THE OTHER GEAR THAT WILL ALLOW
THEM TO TO CONTINUE FISHING BUT
DO SO IN A MUCH MORE SUSTAINABLE
WAY.
SO JUST BOOK BICU TO COUPLE
THINGS TO MENTION BEFORE WE WE
GO TO THE WITNESSES ARE BEFORE
EVEN INTRODUCED THIS BILL WE
REACHED OUT TO THE NGOS MEMBERS
OF THE FLEET. WHO HAD ENGAGED
INSTALLED EFFORTS THAT WERE LEAD
BY THE DIFFERENT OF FISH AND
WILDLIFE TO DEVELOP THE BUYOUT
PROGRAM?
MY HOPE WAS TO BY BOTH SIDES TO
THE TABLE TO SEE IF WE CAN CRAFT
THIS BILL IN A WAY THAT MEETS.
THE NEEDS OF BOTH SIDES I'M
VERY.
THANKFUL TO THE NGOS WHO HAVE
ENGAGED.
.
WE'RE STILL HOPING TO HAVE A
REALLY GOOD OPEN CONVERSATION
WITH THE FISHERMEN IT'S BEEN A
CHALLENGE TO TO GET THEM. TO SIT
DOWN AND TALK.
BUT I I REALLY DO HOPE THAT
WE'LL BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH AN
EQUITABLE SOLUTION THAT MOVES
THIS FISHERY. FORWARD TOWARD
MORE SUSTAINABLE GIL GEAR THAT
DOESN'T PUT PEOPLE OUT OF
BUSINESS BUT.
YOU KNOW COURAGE IS MUCH BETTER
PRACTICES I ALSO WANT TO THANK
THE COMMITTEE FOR THE TIME THAT
THEY SPENT ON THIS BILL HELPING
TO GET IT RIGHT. I'M HAPPY TO
ACCEPT THE AMENDMENTS OFFERED IN
THE ANALYSIS AND I'VE GOT TARA
BROUGHT HERE FROM THE PEW
CHARITABLE TRUSTS.
WHEN THE LEAD NATIONAL EXPERTS
ON THIS ISSUE WHO WAS NOT
INVOLVED IN THE BILL TWO YEARS
AGO THEY WERE STILL HOPING TO
WORK OUT A DEAL.
BUT THEY'RE WITH US ON THIS AND
JEFF CHESTER SENIOR SCIENTISTS
FROM US YOU KNOW WHO CAN ALSO
HELP TO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS
SO.
WITH THAT I I'D LOVE TO HEAR
FROM OUR WITNESSES.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS JEFF CHESTER WITH THE
CONSERVATION GROUP OF SHIA WE'VE
MADE WORKING TO REDUCE BI CATCH
IN THE DRAFT ON THAT FISHERY.
SKIN.
SHOWS BASED OUT OF WASHINGTON
DC AND I'M BASED OUT OF MONTEREY
ARE ARE CALIFORNIA OFFICES IN
MONTEREY CALIFORNIA.
SO SP TEN SEVENTEEN IS THE
THIRD TIME IN FOUR YEARS THAT
THE LEGISLATURE IS CONSIDERED
THIS ISSUE AND OCEANIA HAS BEEN
WORKING ON THIS IS A MAJOR BUG
ORGANIZATIONAL PRIORITY FOR THE
LAST TWELVE YEARS. WE ARE WE
WORK HARD THE LAST FEW YEARS OF
THE PACIFIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT
COUNCIL.
AFTER A IT IT WHICH AFTER MULTI
YOUR STAKEHOLDER PROCESS
DEVELOPED A COMPROMISE PLAN TO
IMPLEMENT THAT THE HARD CAPS AND
HUNDRED PERCENT OBSERVER
COVERAGE OF SENATOR ALLEN
DISCUSSED CONSISTENT WITH OTHER
FEDERAL.
WEST COAST FISHERIES FOR
GROUNDFISH. BUT THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION REVERSED COURSE
THROUGH WITHDRAWING THE PROPOSED
REGULATIONS IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR
AND WE WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY
IF THE STATE LED SOLUTION HAVE
BEEN IMPLEMENTED.
TO SET UP THE SURFACE AT NIGHT
WHERE THE RICH BIODIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA'S OCEAN ECOSYSTEM
CONGREGATES
THAT A MILE LONG SWORD FISH
DRIFT GILL NETS ARE WIDELY
RECOGNIZED AS AN INDISCRIMINATE
FISHING GEAR EXPLAINING WHY THIS
GEAR HAS BEEN BANNED THROUGHOUT
THE WORLD FROM RUSSIA TO THE
MEDITERRANEAN. THE ENTIRE EAST
COAST OF THE U. S. ANOTHER PIECE
OF IN ALL OF THE PACIFIC WEST
COAST STATES.
CALIFORNIA'S THE ONLY U. S.
STATE LEFT THAT ALLOWS THIS MESS
THAT METHOD FOR CATCHING
SWORDFISH BITES FISHERMEN.
ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL
MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE ON
BOARD.
ESTIMATES BETWEEN TWO THOUSAND
AND ONE IN TWO THOUSAND AND
FIFTEEN A CALIFORNIA BASED
SWORDFISH STRIP GILL NET FISHERY
CUT SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THREE
DOLPHINS FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVEN
SEALS AND SEA LIONS. HUNDRED
TWELVE SEABIRDS FIFTY THREE
WHALES AND THIRTY FIVE SEA
TURTLES INCLUDING THE CRITICALLY
ENDANGERED A LEATHERBACK SEA
TURTLE WHICH IN THEM STUDIES
HAVE SHOWN CANNOT AFFORD A
SINGLE MORTALITY GIVEN THE DIRE
STATE OF THAT SPECIES. ALL THE
DOLPHINS WERE KILLED THERE OVER
THAT TIME AND ONLY A HANDFUL THE
LARGE WHALES TURTLES AND SEE
LINE'S ESCAPED WITHOUT SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH IN ADDITION OVER
A HUNDRED AND FORTY THOUSAND
FISH INCLUDING TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF SHARKS. WERE THROWN
OVERBOARD.
OPPONENTS POINT TO A SINGLE
YEAR'S DATA AND WHERE THE DRIFT
GILL NET FISHERY KEPT A RELEASE
TO LIVE NINETY FOUR PERCENT OF
THEIR CATCH.
THAT YEAR ONLY ONE IN TEN.
SET DEPLOYMENTS WERE ACTUALLY
OBSERVED AND THERE'S NO WAY OF
KNOWING HOW THE RELEASED ANIMALS
FARED AFTER EXPERIENCING THE
TRAUMA AND INJURY OF DRIFT GILL
NET CAPTURE. AND LET'S BE CLEAR
EVEN WITH THE ONE IN TEN.
TRIPS OBSERVE THAT STILL
HUNDREDS OF DEAD ANIMALS
DISCARDED OVERBOARD INCLUDING
DOLPHINS BLUE SHARKS INVALUABLE
SPORT FISH LIKE MARLINS IN
TUNIS.
OBSERVER COVERAGE IS WOEFULLY
ADEQUATE AND INDUSTRY HAS
REJECTED ELECTRONIC MONITORING
APPROACHES TO REDUCE THE COST OF
OBSERVER COVERAGE.
CHO AND THIS IS BECAUSE
UNCERTAINTY IN THE TOTAL IMPACTS
OF THIS FISHERY AND CREATES A
MAJOR BLIND SPOT IN THE ABILITY
FOR MANAGERS TO MANAGE AND
THAT'S WHY SP TEN SEVENTEEN
PROPOSES TO STEP IN WHERE THE
FEDS HAVE STEPPED OUT REQUIRING
THIS OBSERVER COVERAGE. I WANTED
TO AND BY MAKING IT CLEAR THAT
OCEANIA IS COMMITTED TO COMING
TO THE TABLE WITH OTHER
STAKEHOLDERS TO FIND A SOLUTION.
AND IS SERIOUS ABOUT RAISING
PRIVATE FUNDS TO CONTRIBUTE BY
OUT OF PERMITS AND GEAR.
FOR THE SAKE OF OUR TREASURE
CALIFORNIA OCEAN WILDLIFE AND A
REPUTATION AS A LEADER IN
SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD. PLEASE GIVE
US AN OPPORTUNITY TO FIND A FAIR
AND REASONABLE SOLUTION WE
PRECIADO SUBMIT SUPPORT A NUMBER
OF YOU HAVE PROVIDED OVER THE
YEARS.
IN PRIOR YEARS IN RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT TO
CONTINUE AND WANTED TO THANK
SENATOR ALLEN FEEL LEADERSHIP ON
THIS.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME IS TARA
BROCK WITH THE PEW CHARITABLE
TRUSTS.
I WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK SENATOR
ALLEN FOR WORKING TO FIND A
SOLUTION TO TRANSITION
CALIFORNIA'S SWORDFISH FISHERY
AWAY FROM THE USE OF LARGE
MASTER OF COME BACK HERE. WHICH
ACCORDING TO A PEW COMMISSION
PAUL IS SUPPORTED BY EIGHTY
SEVEN PERCENT OF CALIFORNIA
VOTERS.
WE ASK THIS COMMITTEE TO SUPPORT
THAT GOAL AND SENATOR ALLEN'S
EFFORTS.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THERE IS
AN ALTERNATIVE TO DRIVE
COLLAPSED DEVELOP BY THE PFLEGER
INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL
RESEARCH IN OCEANSIDE. AND TWO
THOUSAND ELEVEN HERE BEGAN
TESTING DEEP SUBBU YEAR TO
TARGET START FRESH OFF THE WEST
COAST THE RESULTS ARE
OUTSTANDING WITH NINETY EIGHT
PERCENT MARKET WILL CATCH AND A
VAST MAJORITY OF THE CATCH BEING
SWORDFISH.
ESSENTIALLY PIERRE FIGURED OUT
HOW TO CATCH SWORDFISH DURING
THE DAY WHEN THEY'RE FEEDING BY
THEMSELVES AND COLD DEEP WATER
AWAY FROM OTHER SPECIES NEAR THE
SURFACE.
EACH SEPARATE YEAR HAS BEEN
DEPLOYED IN WATERS OFF
CALIFORNIA FOR SEVEN YEARS THIS
IS PROVIDED OVER NINE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY FISHING DAYS WORTH OF
DATA WHICH EQUATES TO NEARLY
EIGHT THOUSAND HOURS OF WORK ON
THE WATER TRIALS.
THE EXCEPT WE GEAR HAS BEEN
PROVEN TO CATCH SWORDFISH AT
COMMERCIAL RATES WITH MINUTES
MINIMAL BY CATCH Y. ACTIVE
TENDING OF THE GEAR HAS LED TO A
HUNDRED PERCENT BIKE. OF THE BY
CATCH RELEASED ALIVE WITHIN
MINUTES.
WE CUT SWORDFISH CAN GET NEARLY
DOUBLE THE PRICE ADRIFT ON THAT
FISH AT MARKET. THIS IS DUE TO
THE HIGHER QUALITY PRODUCT AND
THE ABILITY OF DEEP SEPARATE
YOUR MUSCLES TO FISH AT TIMES
AND IN AREAS WHERE DRAFT ON THAT
FISHING IS RESTRICTED DUE TO
CONSERVATION CONCERNS SUCH AS
THE PACIFIC LEATHERBACK
CONSERVATION AREA.
THE FEDERAL PACIFIC FISHERY
MANAGEMENT COUNCIL IS CURRENTLY
CONSIDERING THE AUTHORIZATION OF
DEEP SEPARATE YEAR IN THE WEST
COAST SWORDFISH FISHERY AND THE
POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS TO DRIFT
ON THAT FISHERY PARTICIPANTS.
LAST YEAR THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH

THE DRAFT ON THAT FLEET AND THE
NGO COMMUNITY AS YOU'VE HEARD.

COMMITTEE THANKS FOR THIS
OPPORTUNITY MY NAME'S GARY BURKE
ALMA SANTA BARBARA COMMERCIAL
FISHERMEN.
WHEN IN THE DRIFT NET FISHERY.
FOR US SINCE THE BEGINNING.
BEAR WITH ME I'M NOT A PUBLIC
SPEAKER.
I HAD RATHER BE FIGHTING THE
WEATHER FISHING THAN LEGISLATIVE
BATTLES.
ALSO SERVE ON. THE PACIFIC
COUNCIL.
AND THE HIGHLY BY HOW MIGRATORY
ADVISORY TEAM.
WHICH.
LE CITY COUNCIL ACTUALLY
MANAGES THIS FISHERY.
TAKES PLACE IN FEDERAL WATERS.
AND IT'S MANAGE ALSO THROUGH THE
MARINE MAMMAL ACT.
SPECIES.
AND.
IT'S TAKEN.
LOW WITH THE OBSERVER PROGRAM
IS A FEDERAL PROGRAM THE
VEHEMENCE IS A FEDERAL PROGRAM
TO STOP
ASSESSMENT IS A FEDERAL PROGRAM.
AND NOW THIS FISHERIES BECOME A
FEDERAL PERMIT.
SO.
.
THERE'S. AN IT ENDS COME THROUGH
A LOT OF GOOD STEPS IMPROVING
BYCATCH IN FACT IT TO ME IT'S
IT'S A.
SUSTAINABLE GOLD STANDARD OF
THEFISHERIES WE NEVER GET CREDIT
FOR EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE.
WE'VE REDUCED MARINE MAMMAL.
.
BI CATCH BY FIFTY PERCENT.
REGARD THEM IN DIFFERENCE OF
WHAT YOU HEAR YOU CAN LOOK UP
WHAT WE DO CATCH.
WE HAVEN'T KILLED THE TOTAL IN
TEN YEARS I DON'T THINK WE HAD A
WILL INTERACTION LAST YEAR FIRST
IN ABOUT FIVE YEARS.
YOU CAN PICK DIFFERENT YEARS IN
STATISTICS TO MAKE THINGS LOOK
BAD TO FIFTEEN. HUNDRED FORTY
ONE OBSERVER SAID WE GOT ONE
DOLPHIN NO SEALS NO NOTHING
ELSE.
FOR SOME YEARS TO CATCH MORE WE
ARE IN AN AREA WHERE ALL THOSE
THINGS ARE.
FORCED TO YOU AND SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA SEAL SERVING.
THE OF TOO MANY OF THEM.
THE NATIONAL IN FISHERIES LOOKS
AT EVERYONE OF THOSE SPECIES OF
MARINE MAMMALS AND SAYS HOW MANY
CAN YOU TAKE FROM THIS.
STOP BEFORE YOU HEARD.
AND WERE OF DOWN OF ONE AND TWO
PERCENT SEALS WERE ALLOWED NINE
THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED DOLPHINS
WERE ALLOWED FOUR THOUSAND.
IN WE CATCH MAYBE ON A BAD YEAR
HANDFUL EXTRAPOLATE LUCY TWENTY
FIVE.
THAT'S A NOT NOBODY LIKES TO DO
THAT WE DON'T LIKE TO DO IT BUT.
WERE NOT HEARD IN THE STOCK AT
ALL IS A GOOD FISHERIES.
SO I LOOK AT THIS BILL.
AND THEY'RE IN MY OPINION
THERE'S NOTHING GOOD IN THIS
BILL IT'S I'M IN THE ASEAN
OFFICIATES INTO MY LIVELIHOOD.
.
I GET HALF MY INCOME FROM THIS
FISHERY.
MOBILE FISHERIES NOW ARE
LIMITED.
YOU CAN'T JUST GO TO ANOTHER
FISHERY.
BECAUSE.
PERMITS EXPENSIVE.
FOR YOU TAKE THIS BERMAN AWAY
FROM ME.
I'M I'M DONE PROBABLY I'VE TO
SOMEONE BUT I'VE A KID. WHO I
WAS GOING TO TAKE OVER MOST
THESE GUYS DO WE HAVE A
MORTGAGE?
I'M COULDN'T CROSS THE END I LET
MY SON TO TAKE OVER THIS
FISHERY.
THERE'S NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE MY
BOOK BECOMES WORTHLESS
BECAUSE YOUR BOATS ONLY WORTH
WHAT YOU.
WHAT WITH THE PERMIT YOU HAVE?
NOW THIS BILL SAYS OKAY YOU
GONNA COMPENSATE WITH WHAT A
YEAR TO. MY LIVELIHOOD.
I DON'T WILLIAM TO GET THE MONEY
THEY'VE TRIED THIS ALREADY.
NOBODY CAME UP WITH THE MONEY
THAT. THE TATE INCOME OF THE
MONEY NGOS WOULDN'T FOURTH ANY
MONEY THEY SAY THE FEDS ARE
GOING TO GIVE YOU MONEY.
THAT ISN'T GONNA HAPPEN STARTLE
OBSERVER PROGRAM. THAT IS
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS THE FEDS
HAVE IT THEY GET YOU KNOW A
CERTAIN ALLOCATION.
TO START ONE IN CALIFORNIA YOU
GOT TO BE TRAINED BY NATIONAL
READ FISHING TO SEE WHAT YOU'RE
DOING. IT'S A BIG UNDERTAKING
HARD CAPS IT WAS REFUSE BECAUSE
IT. PUT A HARDSHIP NAZARIAN
FISHERIES UNDER THE MAIN CITY
EVEN NAPA LOOKED AT AND SAID
THIS BUT THE BIG PART OF
BUSINESS YOU CAN'T DO THAT. I
DON'T SEE HOW THE STATE IS GOING
TO ESTABLISH HARD CAPS IN
ENFORCE IT THEY CANNOT SHUT DOWN
THE FEDERAL FISHING NOW THERE'S
SO MANY THINGS WRONG. IN THIS
BILL IT'S
IT CAN EVEN BE AMENDED TO BE
GOOD IT'S ONE OF THE WORST
THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN THIS IS.
I COULD REFUTE ALL A LOT OF THE
STATISTICS AND THINGS YOU HEAR.
IT'S THE MISINFORMED PUBLIC
THAT.
AND YOU KNOW. DOES IT REALLY
RESEARCH AND FOLLOW THIS FISHERY
AND SEEN HEALTH GOOD IT'S BEEN
SO. I MEAN.
I I'M SORRY BUT IT WOULD
DEVASTATE A LOT OF THE
HARBISON'S
CALIFORNIA.
THEY'RE STILL BRINGS IN A LOT OF
OTHER FISH TO SANTA BARBARA
BESIDES RED FACE WEEKEND TO
ANDERSON HUNT TO BEST EATING
SHARKS ALL OF THE STUFF THEY
TALK ABOUT. A MOVIE YOU KNOW FOR
EVERY SWORDFISH WHO CATCH ALL
THE SEX AS WELL AS ACTIONS WE.
OWE BUT MOVE ARE. UP IN THEIR
GOOD EATING THEY COME AT A TIME
WHEN WE NEED IT.
FISHERIES IN CALIFORNIA OF
STRESSED IN UNDER YOU KNOW THE
REST THEY NEED WE CAN'T LOSING
MORE FISH IS LIKE IT'S FUNNY I
NEVER SEE CALIFORNIA FIGHTING
FOR THE FISHERIES MUCH.
IT SEEMS LIKE.
YOU KNOW WE HAVE ANOTHER THE
STATE SENATE LUIS SWORDFISH
UNDERUTILIZED STOCK
IT'S BEEN DETERMINED IT'S OUT
THERE AND THE ONLY WAY TO CATCH
SOARED FOR SUFFICIENTLY. IS WITH
A ONE MILE NET.
A VISIBLY HERE THEY'RE TALENTED.
IT'S.
ONE GUY TWO GUYS LAST YEAR IN
ONE WEEK BECAUSE MANY SWORDFISH
IS THE COTTON FIVE MONTHS.
AND THEY CONCERT HIGHER QUALITY
PRICE.
I'M ON THE COUNCIL NOW THERE'S
DETERMINING ON ALTERNATIVES ON
THIS FISHERY ON ON HOW MANY THEY
GONNA LEAD IN. THESE GUYS ARE
DOING NOW TO WANT MORE AND TEN
PERMITS BECAUSE IF MORE THAN
THAT COMES IN THE PRICES GO DOWN
AND IT'S IN THE CAN'T MAKE ANY
MONEY.
THEY QUIT LAST YEAR AT FIVE
DOLLARS A POUND.
SO IT FISH IN OUR BUSINESS IN
THE DIFFICULT IF WE GET FIVE
BUCKS THAT'S GREAT.
I MEAN THAT THAT WOULD BE SOME
WE'D BE THRILLED.
THEY TALK ABOUT. THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
THIS THING STARTED FEDERALIZE A
SINCE DURING THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION HE'S NOT TO BLAME
IS THAT'S. IT'S.
A LOT OF MISCONCEPTIONS GOING ON
PLEASE A FOR MY LIVELIHOOD.
PLEASE POST THIS BILL THANK YOU
VERY TESTIMONY NEXT WITNESS
PLEASE.
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND COMMITTEE MY
NAME IS KATHY FALSE MARK.
I HAVE BEEN IN THE FISHERIES ALL
MY LIFE I AM A FIFTH GENERATION.
I OPPOSE THIS BILL.
I WOULD LIKE TO.
GO OVER QUICKLY UMD SOME OF THE
POSITIONS I'VE HELD I WAS ON THE
PACIFIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT
COUNCIL FOR A TERM. I A M.
CURRENTLY ON THE SANCTUARY
ADVISORY COUNCIL.
I HAD BEEN ON THE TAKE REDUCTION
TEAM FOR NATIONAL MARINE
FISHERIES SERVICE.
PAUSE FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS.
I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THIS
PARTICULAR FISHERY MY HUSBAND
AND I STARTED IN THE ACCEPTED IT
PUT IT BEGAN IT WAS AN
EXPERIMENTAL FISHERY.
IN THE SEVENTIES AND ARE SAM
FARR WAS THE IN PERSON THAT
CARRIED THE LEGISLATION HERE IN
THE STATE.
I WORK VERY HARD BECAUSE
SUSTAINABILITY ON THIS FISHERY
AS PART OF THE METHOD. IN ORDER
TO MAKE THIS FISHERY WORK WORK.
AND.
WHILE I WAS WORKING ON THE TAKE
REDUCTION TEAM.
I. UNDERSTOOD THAT PART OF OUR.
THE RULE WAS TO PROTECT. THE.
MARINE MAMMALS BECAUSE IT WAS
UNDER THE MARINE MAMMAL
PROTECTION ACT THAT THIS WAS
FORM.
AND. WE WE STRODE THE STRIVE TO.
CREATE A SYSTEM WHERE WE CAN.
SPEAK. IT INCLUDES THE VOICE THE
MARINE MAMMAL COMMISSION THE
STATE F CALIFORNIA HAS A
POSITION ON THEIR.
OFFICE OF PROTECTED RESOURCES ON
THERE THERE ARE MANY.
SCIENTISTS AND IT'S ALL BASED
ON SCIENCE.
ALL OF THE DECISIONS THAT COME
OUT OF THERE ARE BASED ON THE
FACTS AND SCIENCE AND
POPULATION.
AND.
IF THERE IS ANY REASON THAT THE
FISHERY DOES OR EXCEEDS ITS
GOALS IT IS CLOSED. I WANT TO
MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
SOME OF THE LANGUAGE THAT PEOPLE
MISS CAN. THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
OVER FISHING THERE CAN BE A
STARK OVER THAT'S
SET IT.
STATED AS OVER FINISHED BUT IT
MAY NOT EVEN BE A FISH STOCK.
I MEAN NOT EVEN BE IT'S JUST
BECAUSE IT'S AN DEPLETED STOCK
THERE'S THE WORD TAKE TAKE IS ON
IMMORTALITY.
IT CAN BE ANY KIND OF
INTERACTION.
AND SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WHEN
THE NUMBERS ARE LOOKED OUT THAT
THEY'RE NOT UNDULY. PENALIZING
THE INDUSTRY.
AND. ALSO.
OUR PORTS RELY ON THIS FISHERY.
BOB ALL THE PORTS OPEN ON THE
COAST HAVE. WERE EITHER FISHING
FARMING OR AFOR AN THE OTHER OR
RANCHING START WERE STARTED OUT
WAY. THIS WAS THE BASIS OF WHAT
CREATED THE COASTLINE HERE THAT
STARTED THE. ECONOMICS.
THE ECONOMIC ENGINE IS RUN BY
THE HARVEST OF THESE PRODUCTS.
AND MONTEREY WHICH IS WHERE I'M
FROM I CO CHAIR THE ALLIANCE OF
COMMUNITIES FOR SUSTAINABLE
FISHERIES THERE'S FIVE HUNDRED
FISHING FAMILIES INVOLVED IN
THAT.
AND WE ALL REALLY SUPPORT MAKING
OUR FISHERIES SAFE.
THE ICE
FUELED ARCS.
MARINE STORES.
RESTAURANTS BUSBOYS.
THE ECONOMICS JUST TRICKLES DOWN
AND PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR JOBS
AND THERE WILL BE LESS PRODUCT
AVAILABLE WE HAVE.
CURRENTLY.
WE WE PROVIDE SEVENTY AD.
TWENTY FIVE PERCENT OF THE
SWORDFISH FRESH PRODUCT SOLD IN
THIS COUNTRY IN SEVENTY FIVE
URRENTLY IS IMPORTED.
THESE ARE FROM COUNTRIES THAT
HAVE NO REGULATION.
ORREGULATIONS THAT DO NOT
ENFORCE.
WE'RE TRYING VERY HARD TO
MITIGATE ANY PROBLEMS THROUGH
THESE
SYSTEMS THAT WERE SET UP.
AND.
WE CANNOT SUSTAIN THE FEE
INCREASE
THIS IS PART OF WHAT WILL PUT
THE FISHERY OUT OF BUSINESS.
AND.
WE OUR WORK IN A HUNDRED PERCENT
OBSERVER COVERAGE IS.
EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS A DAY
WOULD. IT IT'S JUST UNDOABLE
IT'S NOT DOABLE.
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT.
BY MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY IN
MARCH AND I HE GAVE MY SON WHO'S
SITTING HERE. HIS PERMIT.
AND MY OTHER SON WHO IS ARE OR
OLDEST BOY ALSO FISHES THEY'RE
BOTH DRIFT GILL NET FISHERMEN.
AND OUR FAMILY AND I MEAN THEY
HAVE CHILDREN.
AND WE WE DELIVER TO THE LOCAL.
PORTS. AND THEY CAN'T JUST BUY
ONE PRODUCT THEY HAVE TO HAVE A
LOT OF DIFFERENT PRODUCTS. AND I
HOPE YOU CONSIDER. THAT WHAT
WOULD THE IMPACT BOTH IN
ECONOMICS INTO THAT FAMILIES
THAT ARE BEING INVOLVED IN THIS
OF FISHERY TRYING REALLY HARD. I
MEAN I DON'T KNOW OF ANY WIFE
THAT HAS GOTTEN SO INVOLVED
POLITICALLY.
I'M NOT TRYING TO TAUGHT US BUT
I FELT THAT WAY IN THE VERY
BEGINNING THAT THE FISHERMEN
WERE BEING MISREPRESENTED.
AND OF THE HEART CAPS.
THERE IS LANGUAGE IN THE
NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES
SERVICE THE MAGNUSON STEVENS ACT
THERE'S SOME. ISSUES THERE ONE
IS NO DUPLICATE TORY REGULATION
AND THAT'S IN THEIR NATIONAL
STANDARDS.
SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT BOTH THE
STATE AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
REGULATING THERE'S A PROBLEM.
IT'S IN THE FISHERY MANAGEMENT
PLAN.
AND THEY ARE REQUIRED NOW TO DO
IT. THANK YOU SIR IMAGE THINK
YOU SHOULD.
OTHERS IN OPPOSITION.

PERCENT.
THAT'S WHAT'S RECOMMENDED BY THE
SCIENTISTS BOAT. PARTY A
QUESTION WAS TOO WHEN YOU HAVE
AN INTERACTION WE HAD
INTERACTIONS WITH THE PACIFIC
LEATHERBACK TURTLE SO. THAT'S
WHAT NATIONAL MEET FISHERIES
AND.
BECAUSE THEY LOOK AT THAT THEY
SAY OKAY WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING
BECAUSE THAT'S ENDANGERED
SPECIES SO THEY PUT IN THE PEEL
CA. OVER THE BACK CONSERVATION
AREA WHERE WE CAN'T GO SO WELL
IF WELL IF SOMETHING'S BAD
HAPPENS IN THIS FISHERIES THE
TASK FORCE OR THE NEXT WEEK
FISHERIES HAS TO RESPOND TO IT.
SO THERE'S REGULATIONS
THIS THIS FISHERIES OVERLYING IT
IT IT IT'S BEEN.
SO YOU BELIEVE THERE'S CHECKS
AND BALANCES YEAH THERE'S CHECKS
AND BALANCES ALL THE WAY AND I
THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING
FOR OR IN.
THANK YOU THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IS
NOT TO SENATOR ALLEN. CAN YOU
RESPOND TO OF THE ASSERTION
THAT.
THAN THE DATA HAS BEEN
EXTRAPOLATED THAT IT'S NOT REAL
DATA. NUMBER ONE TO NUMBER TWO.
.
WE'RE NOT GONNA STOP THE DEMAND
FOR CHANGE SWORDFISH IN
CALIFORNIA.
HOW WE GONNA MAKE UP THOSE
DELTA? OF THE SHORTAGES ARE
GOING TO BE THROUGH IMPORTATION
FROM COUNTRIES THAT DON'T HAVE
ANY KIND OF. ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTIONS AGAINST THE MAMMALS
AS YOU'RE TRYING TO PROTECT.
WELL ON THE EXTRAPOLATED ISSUE
WHEN YOU'VE ONLY GOT.
YOU TEND TO TWENTY PERCENT
OBSERVER RATES YOU HAVE TO
EXTRAPOLATE BECAUSE YOU KNOWYOU
IT IS ONLY A FRACTION THE BOATS
THAT THAT IF PERMITTED.
OBSERVERS TO COME ON TO THEIR
BOATS.
I THE. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS
SET OUT A THIRTY PERCENT GOAL
BUT.
MANY SOME YEARS IT'S ONLY TEN OR
ELEVEN PERCENT.
AND SO THAT'S ONE ISSUE.
.
PETER YOU KNOW A ITSELF HAS DATA
AND IN ITS DIMENSION HERE AND
THE ANALYSIS THAT YOU KNOW THAT
SHOWS THAT.
THAT.
THE DRIFT ON THAT FISHING
CALIFORNIA DESCRIBES ON AVERAGE
MORE THAN ONE HALF OF ALL FISH
CAUGHT KILLS OVER SEVENTY
DIFFERENT READ SPEECHES AS BY
CATCH. IT HAS AMONG THE HIGHEST
RATES OF MARINE MAMMALS ETERNAL
INTERACTIONS.
NEGATIVE. INTERACTIONS ACROSS
ALL WAS BECAUSE FISHERIES THIS
IS FROM NO AS DATA.
SO THEY HAVE TO EXTRAPOLATE
BECAUSE THEY'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO
GET ON A CERTAIN NUMBER OF THE
BOATS.
I'VE.
THAT'S THE KIND OF BASIC MATH OF
IT AND DIDN'T KNOW IT IT IS COME
OUT OF THE REPORTS.
THEN BE CEO OF WE'RE GONNA GET
YOU COPY THE ARTICLE WE'RE GONNA
PRINT UP RIGHT NOW. I HAS DONE
AN ANALYSIS OF THE FEDERAL DATA
IT'S HARD TO GET ACCESS TO
ACTUALLY BUT THEY'VE GONE AND
DONE IT.
YOU KNOW ABOUT BIG STUDY AND
SHOWS ALL OF THE. IMPACT I'M
SURE THE FOLKS HERE ARE GOOD
RESPONSIBLE FISHER MEN AND WOMEN
BUT.
BUT THAT THE DATA DOESN'T WHY
DID WE GOT ACCESS TO FROM THE
FEDERAL LEVEL AND.
IT'S PRETTY SHOCKING.
OKAY IT'S ALL DATA THAT'S PART
OF THE PROBLEM PLEASE AREN'T
GOOD NOW FIGURE AND EXPLANATION
OF THEM MIGHT MY CONCERN AND
THIS AND I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT
WE'RE NOT THE.
INADVERTENTLY KILLING MAMMALS
SUMMIT WHALES AND DOLPHINS AND
ENDANGER SEA TURTLES BUT AND I'M
I'M I'M CONFLICTED BECAUSE THE
HOUSE OF. A SEE PEOPLE HERE THAT
DO RESPONSIBLY.
FISH AND. IF WE PASS THIS BILL
IN ITS PRESENT FORM IT SOUNDS
LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BE PUT IN
THE META BUSINESS WITCHES.
BUT A CONCERN.
CERTAINLY FOR ME SO.
I'M HOPING THAT WHEREVER THIS
BILL IF IT DOES GET OUT TODAY I
HOPE THAT YOU CONTINUE TO WORK
ON THE OPPOSITION TO.
FIGURE OUT THERE'S WAYS IN WHICH
THERE COULD BE COMPROMISE AS
MATT WHERE WE CAN SAVE THE.
THE MAMMALS ARE TALKING ABOUT
THAT SAME TIME NOT KILL THE
INDUSTRY.
THANK YOU FROM STRUCTURE SENATOR
MONNING AND THEN.
REQUIRE. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
FIRST I WANT TO THANK THEM.
THOSE FROM THE INDUSTRY SOME OF
MY CONSTITUENTS IN FOR WHAT YOU
DO AT TO REGISTER ECONOMY BUT TO
THE THE CULTURE. OF.
OF MANY DECADES.
.
ONE OF MY QUESTIONS IS I READ
THE BILL. IT DOESN'T MANDATE THE
FORFEITURE OF PERMITS THE
THEY'RE TRYING TO CREATE A. AN
INCENTIVE.
TO EITHER CONVERT.
TO THE DEEP SET BOY GEAR WE'VE
HEARD THAT YOU THINK THAT
DOESN'T PRODUCE AS MUCH.
OR. A BUYOUT OF THE PERMIT BUT
IT DOESN'T MANDATE THE BUY OUT
OF THE PERMIT. ON IN OTHER WORDS
AS I READ IT YOU CAN CONTINUE.
IN YOUR PRACTICE.
WITH THE PERMITS DO YOU RESPOND
TO THAT.
I'D LIKE TO MENTION THAT IN THE
BILL IT STATES THAT.
OUR FEES WILL BE REYES.
AND WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A
HUNDRED PERCENT OBSERVER
COVERAGE.
WHICH IS A DAILY COSTS.
AT EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS OR
MORE.
IT'LL THE FINISH EFFICIENTLY PUT
US OUT OF BUSINESS AND SO WILL
BE FORCED TO HAVE TO SELL OUT
THANK YOU SO THE COST OF
MAINTAINING THE PERMIT.
WOULD BE PROHIBITIVE THAT END
THE OBSERVER COVERAGE RIGHT NOW
AND IT IT'S ACTUALLY A. MUCH
DESERVED IT WAS OF THE SORRY IT
TOUCHED BOTTOM OF THE.
IT IT IT'S A COST THAT ALREADY
WE HAVE OF HIGH FUEL COSTS AND
IT'S EXPENSIVE ORGAN THAT'S OUR
SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
WE HAVE DUBBED CREW. THE
INSURANCE IS HUGE ON A VESSEL.
WE HAVE LIABILITY AND HOLD
COVERAGE I MEAN THERE'S COSTS
THAT WE INCURRED. IN THIS IS
OVER AND ABOVE PLUS NOW. WE HAVE
TO GIVE UP FISHING DAYS TO GO
AND ATTEND MEETINGS.
TO BE ABLE TO. DO THESE THINGS
THAT AREN'T NECESSARY THANK YOU
MISTER FUNDS WORK TO DO ONE AND
I I I WAS JUST GONNA SAY
SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT THIS IS I I
UNDERSTAND THAT ON ON PAPER IT
IT APPEARS THAT.
THE.
THE OTHER SIDE IS IS.
TRYING TO GIVE US A WAY OUT BUT
IT'S NOT FEASIBLE IT'S NOT IT'S
NOT FEASIBLE THIS OBSERVER
COVERAGE THAT THEY'RE TALKING
ABOUT.
THAT COST EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS
A DAY.
EVERY TIME WE GO OUT AND FISH WE
DON'T FILL THE BOAT UP EVERY
SINGLE TIME ZONE AUTOMATIC THING
THERE'S VARIABLES INVOLVED IN IS
WHETHER THAT'S A FACTOR. AND IF
YOU HAVE TO SPEND EIGHT HUNDRED
DOLLARS A DAY TO FISH YOU BETTER
MAKE DARN SURE THAT YOU'RE GONNA
CATCH SOMETHING AND IF YOU DON'T
EAGLE BACKWARDS.
AND THEN THE NEXT TIME YOU GO
OUT YOU GOTTA MAKE TWICE AS MUCH
COULD MAKE MEKA ASK HAVE YOU.
ANY OF YOU TRIED THE DEEP SATIN
BILLIE GEAR.
YES SIR. OF THE I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THAT IT'S RIGHT NOW IT'S
JUST AN EXPERIMENTAL MEAL. IT IS
NOT A FIX SHARIA I'M ON THE
COUNCIL PUT DISCUSSING THE
ALTERNATIVES.
AND THEY ONLY WANT LIKE TEN
PERMITS BECAUSE IF THEY HAVE TOO
MANY THE PRICE WOULD OUT THERE'S
NO INSURANCE WE'RE GETTING EVEN
GET ONE.
AND THESE GUYS ARE TALKING Y. GO
YOU CAN ALWAYS GO DO THAT I MEAN
I WOULD GO ANYWHERE COULD MAKE
ENOUGH MONEY BUT.
IT WILL WHAT I'M. WHAT I'M
HEARING IS?
OF.
A FAILURE OF AT LEAST TO THIS
POINT NEGOTIATIONS THESE POINTS
I MEAN DO I DO WANT US TO
PROPONENT SOME QUESTIONS.
SO.
AS I UNDERSTAND IT FROM THE
COMMITTEE IN ALICE'S.
ABOUT SEVENTY TWO METRIC TONS
OF SWORDFISH CAME FROM OUR
FISHERIES.
AND ABOUT ELEVEN THOUSAND TONS.
ARE IMPORTED UMPS. A HUGE AMOUNT
OF WHAT WE'RE RELYING ON IS
IMPORTED.
IT WAS STATED IN THE PROPONENTS
TESTIMONY THAT.
GET ON THAT FISHING HAS BEEN
BANNED IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE
WORLD WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THIS
ELEVEN THOUSAND POUNDS.
IT'S CAUGHT WITH GILL NETS TINO.
A.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
THERE THERE IS NO DATA THAT
THAT CAN BE PROVIDED BASED ON
THE IMPORT STATISTICS THAT ARE
OUT THERE.
NEAR THE END AND OTHER PARTS OF
THE WORLD DE.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF
GEAR USED.
THEIR PELAGIC LONGLINE SIT
THERE ARE THERE ARE SOME DRIFT
GILL NETS AND I THINK THAT THE
CRITICAL PIECES THAT THIS IS A
THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE IS ONE THAT
IS A SHARED CONCERN THAT WE ALL
HAVE.
WE THAT THE OF THE OF THE
OPPOSITION IS NOT OFFERED ANY
WAYS TO INCREASE DOMESTIC
PRODUCTION WITH THE DRIFT GILL
NET FISHERY IN FACT THEY SIMPLY
CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE ALL RUN INTO
ENDANGERED SPECIES. OF CONCERNS
AND CAPS.
HOWEVER OUR SOLUTION IS TO
INCREASE DOMESTIC SORT FISH
LANDINGS WITH THE CLEAN DETECT
BUT WE GEAR AND FORCE FEDERAL
LAWS THAT REQUIRE NAMES TO
IMPOSE IMPORT STANDARDS ON ANY
COUNTRY THAT WISHES TO IT TO
EXPORT TO THE TO THE UNITED
STATES. SO THAT THEY NEED YOU S.
STANDARDS AND HAVE YOU STUDIED
THE CARBON.
FOOTPRINT OF THE IMPORTATION OF
THESE FISH FROM OTHER COUNTRIES.
THAT THAT IS DEFINITELY ONE OF
THE KEY CONCERNS BOTH OF THE
LACK OF REGULATION OTHER
COUNTRIES AND THAT WITH THE
CARBON FOOTPRINTS AND AT THAT.
AS STATED BEFORE THIS IS A A
GLOBAL AT THE.
IT DIFFICULT PROBLEM TO ADDRESS
WE HAVE A SOLUTION TO THAT BY
INCREASING DOMESTIC LANDINGS
WHICH WE BELIEVE THAT THE DEEP
SET BUT WE GEAR CAN DO BECAUSE
IT'S NOT GOING TO RUN TO
PROBLEMS WITH THE DAVID SPECIES.
WE SEE THE COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THAT DEAR THAT'S GONNA BRING NEW
DOMESTIC SWORDFISH AND REALLY
ESTABLISH CALIFORNIA AS A AS AN
INCREASE PRODUCER OF THERE SO WE
CAN MEET OUR DEMAND HERE. OF
HERE LOCALLY THANK YOU IN IS I
READ IT THERE'S THERE'S SOME
GAPS IN WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING IN
TERMS OF FUNDING SOURCES. IT
CETERA.
HAVE DO I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE OPEN
TO CONTINUED NEGOTIATION WITH
THE FISHING COMMUNITY.
A YES ABSOLUTELY ON BEHALF OF
OCEANIA WE ARE DEFINITELY.
OPEN TO THAT IN TERMS OF BOTH
THE THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE VARIOUS BIO
COMPONENTS AND.
AND AND WE'RE WILLING TO GO.
WORK HARD TO RAISE THE FUNDS
FROM ABOUT A DOZEN PRIVATE OF
THE COST OF OBSERVERS ON BOATS
FROM PEOPLE THAT WE LET ME SAY
THERE IS A LOT OF INTEREST ON
THE PHILANTHROPIC SIDE TO HELP
FUND THESE KINDS OF THINGS THE
NATURE CONSERVANCY ACTUALLY
PROPOSED. A TO PAY FOR.
THE OBSERVERS.
SO YOU KNOW WHAT WHAT'S BEEN
WHAT'S TOUGH ABOUT THIS RIGHT
NOW IS THAT WE.
WE FAST TO ME WE HAVEN'T HAD
YOU KNOW THE GOOD IT DID SEEM TO
BE A LOT OF INTEREST.
I THINK THEY PAY BEEN LOOKING TO
JUST KILL THE BILL I'D. GET THAT
SIMILAR EFFORT WAS KILLED IN
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO AS I THINK
THERE'S JUST A SENSE THAT.
THEY'RE GONNA WORK UNTIL IN THE
BILL.
AS OPPOSED TO TRYING TO.
NEGOTIATE A DEAL.
IT'S IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING IN
MY EXPERIENCE SO FAR THAT YOU
GET TO GET THESE THINGS TO MOVE
ALONG TO GET TO A PLACE WHERE
BOTH SIDES ACTUALLY COME TO THE
TABLE AND YOU WORK WORKED OUT A.
DEAL BUT THERE IS THERE IS SO
MUCH INTEREST ON THE
PHILANTHROPIC SIDE TO HELP FIND
THE STUFF GOING TO WHERE WE'RE
SO INTERESTED NEGOTIATING THAT'S
IT I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT AND.
I'M SURE YOU'VE BEEN GENEROUS
WITH YOUR TIME ON THIS I KNOW WE
HAVE OTHER BILLS.
I ALSO KNOW THAT THE FISHING
COMMUNITY THAT I REPRESENT ARE
STEWARDS OF OF OUR OCEANS AS
WELL AS OUR LOCAL ECONOMIES IN
OUR CULTURE.
IN I DO TALKING TO THE
PROPONENTS
KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF
FLEXIBILITY TO EXPLORE. OPTIONS
ARM I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE
THE PARTIES TO EXPLORE MEETING
AND WHAT I I'M GONNA BE
SUPPORTIVE TODAY BUT WITH THE
FOLLOWING CAVEA.
I'M IN A RESERVE THE RIGHT TO
VOTE NO IF THIS BILL COMES TO
THE FLOOR. AND THERE HASN'T
BEEN.
ENGAGEMENT A GOOD FAITH
ENGAGEMENT BY THE PARTIES WHERE
THE FISHING COMMUNITIES CONCERNS
AND THE ECONOMIC CONCERNS ARE
ARE ADDRESSED IN THOSE
NEGOTIATIONS.
SO AGAIN.
I APPRECIATE THE STRONG
INTERESTS HELD BY THE PARTIES
HERE AND AND I THINK THERE'S A
CONVERGENCE OF INTERESTS THAT ON
HERE THE FISHING COMMUNITY.
SAYING THEY WANT TO BUILD AN
ECONOMY BASED ON.
CATCHING ENDANGERED SPECIES AND
I ALSO HEAR THE PROPONENT SAYING
THEY WANNA.
PARALYZED ANYBODY'S LIVELIHOOD
SO.
MISTER CHAIR I APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A LITTLE
TIME HERE BECAUSE.
IN WITH THOSE CAVIAR SO I'M I'M
I WILL BE SUPPORTIVE TODAY BUT I
I'M GONNA WATCH THIS CLOSELY
ENOUGH IF I DON'T HEAR THAT.
INTERESTS ARE BEING ADDRESSED I
WILL RESERVE THE RIGHT
AND NOT TO BE SUPPORTIVE IF IT
COMES TO THE THINGS THAT ARE
MONEY THANK YOU MCGUIRE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AS CHAIR OF.
SHORTEN MY COMMENTS VERY QUICKLY
AND LOOK AT THIS IS AN ONGOING
MISSION I DO APPRECIATE AT BOTH
SIDES BEING HERE TODAY ONCE IT
THANK YOU TO THAT SENATOR ALLEN
IN SUPPORTERS AND ALSO AS I
THINK OF THE FLEET.
UP FOR ALL THE WORK IN THE WILL
ECHO WHAT.
THE MAJORITY LEADER AND SAID IN
REGARDS TO PAY FOR THE FLEET
WANTS TO BE ABLE TO GO.
IS.
ENSURING THAT WE HAVE A
SUSTAINABLE FISHERY NUMBER ONE
AND THEN ALSO FOCUSING ON
ENVIRONMENTAL STUART ISN'T AN IN
AT THE SAME TIME THOUGH.
THINK THAT WHAT THE FLEET IS
SEEN ON ALL SIDES OF MATTER WHAT
THIS YEAR IN.
.
OR SEEN CHANGES AS WELL WHO NEED
TO BE ABLE TO ADAPT TO THE
CHANGES THAT SAID. ARE I DO S.
M. ONGOING CONCERNS REGARDS THE
BILL NUMBER ONE. THAT THE COST
THAT WOULD BORN ON THE FLEET.
WILL SINCE THE PRICE THEM OUT.
THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.
AND.
WHILE I GREATLY APPRECIATE THERE
MAY BE INDIVIDUALS WHO.
IN CONCEPT MAY BE WILLING TO
COMPENSATE THE FLEET THERE'S NO
HARD PROPOSAL AT THIS TIME.
NONPROFIT COMING FOR TO BE ABLE
TO ASSIST THE FLEET PARA
TRANSITION POTENTIALLY FROM THIS
FISHERY
IT'S NOT.
SO.
IF ON THE EXPERIMENTAL SIDE IT
IS ABSOLUTELY EXPERIMENTAL.
AND WE CANNOT COUNT IF I COULD
BE HONEST WE CAN'T COUNT ON THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BE ABLE
TO.
IMPOSE IMPORT STANDARDS AT THIS
TIME THEY JUST WON'T HAPPEN
PARTICULARLY. ABOUT WITH.
THAT CURRENT CULTURE THAT WE
HAVE RECEIVED TERRACE WASHINGTON
SEEM AN ODD TERRACE APARTMENT
NEAR.
SO THAT. THE GUY I THINK WHERE I
OR AMENITIES.
THE FLEET HAS MADE MOVES THEY
HAVE GONE FROM A CATEGORY ONE TO
A GETTING CATEGORY TO IN
CATEGORY ONE ORDINANCES CONSIDER
FREQUENT INCIDENTAL MORTALITY OR
SERIOUS INJURY MARINE MAMMALS.
AND THEY.
THEY HAVE NOW BEEN LABELED IN
CASUAL AND SETTLE MORTALITY OR
SERIOUS INJURY OF MARINE MAMMALS
THAT SAID.
LET'S BE HONEST TIMES HAVE
CHANGED AND WE NEED TO BE A VERY
DAFT EVEN FURTHER.
AND.
WE'VE SEEN THAT IN THROUGHOUT
THE NATION AND THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD AND.
CURRENTLY AS IT STANDS ARE THERE
IS NOT A PROPOSAL ON THE TABLE
MY OPINION.
THAT WILL.
FINANCIALLY TRANSITION THE
FLEET COME FOR WHAT THEY'RE
DOING. THE WHERE THEY POLICING
THE NEED TO GO.
AND I.
AND I DO APPRECIATE ES CENTER
ALLEN.
IN THE TEAM TALKING ABOUT DON'T
PROFIT FILL IN PROFIT
ORGANIZATIONS. THERE'S JUST
THERE'S NOTHING THERE AT THE
MOMENT. CAN CAN I ACTUALLY ASKED
HER FROM Q. TO TO SPEAK ABOUT
THIS BRIEFLY PARA PLEASE REALLY
US ON TIME. SIR THANK YOU CHAIR
AND SENATOR MCGUIRE.
.
YOU NO WE. IT IS OUR SUPPORT
RIGHT NOW IS IN A SIMILAR
POSITION WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO
COME TO THE TABLE AND CONTINUE.
THESE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE FLEET
BECAUSE AS YOU SEEN THERE'S
THERE'S BLANKS IN THE BILL RIGHT
NOW.
I DON'T THINK ANY ORGANIZATION
COULD PLAY.
FULL SUPPORT BEHIND SOMETHING
THAT WHEN THE DETAILS HAVEN'T
BEEN WORKED OUT AND WHAT THIS
ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE SO. ABE I DO
BELIEVE THERE'S A REAL INTEREST
TO SIT DOWN AND DISCUSS THESE
THESE ISSUES AND TRY TO GET TO
SOME. PASS
FORWARD WHERE THIS IS ACCEPTABLE
ON BOTH SIDES FIT IN A HERE
THAT.
WOULD LOOK AND WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT I COME FROM A FARMING
FAMILY.
IN WORDS ARE CHEAP.
THEY REALLY ARE.
AND IF YOU ARE COMING FROM
AGRICULTURE BACKGROUND YOU COME
FROM THE AD BACKGROUND WHEN IT
COMES TO WAY HERE A CATTLEMAN
DARREN IN OR YOU ARE FISHERMEN.
YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT
THE PROPOSAL IS.
SO CONTINUE DO SAY THAT THERE IS
INTEREST DOESN'T MEAN THAT
THERE'S A PROPOSAL.
AND.
.
FISHING HAS CHANGED IN THE
STATE.
BUT WE CANNOT EXPECT
A FAMILY WHO'S BEEN FISHING AT
TIMES GENERATIONS TO BE ABLE TO
SAY THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE
EXCITED ABOUT THIS. WHEN THERE'S
NO FORMAL PROPOSAL IN THE ONLY
PROPOSAL RIGHT NOW THAT'S
CURRENTLY IN THIS BILL IS A
HAMMER. A HAMMER IS THE FLEET
WILL PAY MORE.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
WE CALLED VOLUNTARY FOR PUTTING
MORE ON TO THE FLEET TO BETTER
TRANSITION THEM OUT TO MAKE IT
DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO FISH I GET
IT. AND THEY ALSO NEED TO BE A
TRANSITION BECAUSE WE ARE SEEING
TOO MANY MAMMALS TAKEN SAU THEY
ALSO SAY THAT.
BUT THE BILL TO GET ALL BOTH
SIDES TOGETHER AND ALL INTO
RIGHT HERE THERE HAS TO BE
FORMER PROPOSAL IN WHICH. THE
FLEET CAN REACT TO I HEAR WHAT
MR ALLEN SAYING THERE IS SOME
FRUSTRATION AND I DON'T EVER
WANT TO SPEAK FOR THE FLEET BY
THE WAY. BUT I THINK THAT THEY
ARE.
BEGIN SLOW TO BE OF IRAQ
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO
SEE WHAT THERE IS.
I HAVE TRUST THAT MR ALLEN IS
GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THIS BILL.
I'LL BE SUPPORTIVE WITH THE
UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS
GOING TO BE SOME TYPE OF FORMAL
PROPOSAL THAT THE FLEET CAN
REACT TO TO BE A RANSITION. UP
POTENTIALLY OUT OF WHERE THEY'RE
AT. BUT IF WE CONTINUE TO TALK
ABOUT.
THIS NEW THE EXPERIMENTAL PIECE
THAT'S ALSO NOT AN ANSWER JUST
NOT.
FROM WHERE THEY'RE AT I ALSO
KNOW THEY CHANGE PRACTICE BUT
THAT'S WHAT I WOULD HOPE IN THE
COMING MONTHS AND ALSO THE SAME
IS UNDERMINING. IS THAT.
WILL RESERVE THE RIGHT TO BE
ABLE TO NOT SUPPORT ON THE FLOOR
BUT I AS WE SOUGHT WITH OFF
ROADING.
WITNESSED ROUND LAST YEAR WAS
ABLE TO DRIVE THE IDEAL ON AND
THAT WAS PAINFUL AND.
WILL BE SUPPORT TODAY TO ALLOW
THE CONVERSATION CONTINUE BUT I
DO THINK IT NEEDS BECOME MUCH
MORE DETAILS OF IT THANK YOU
VERY MUCH SOONER BUT I THINK.
BOB TO YOU JUDGE SPECIFIC
ABILITY THAT IS A STONE DID YOU
WANT SOMETHING POSITIONING
SINISTER AND AND AND SENATOR
JACKSON AND THEN SENATE HUESO.
BUT INSURERS DON'T.
PO JUST MISTER THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY.
LINE MY COMMENTS I THINK SOME
THE SENSITIVITIES IT'S CENTER
MONEY MCGUIRE TALK ABOUT IT.
LIKE TO ALIGN MYSELF WITH THOSE
REMARKS IN TERMS OF SUPPORT FOR
THE BILL ONE TWO THINGS I WOULD
OFFER TODAY.
QUESTION.
FOR THE AUTHOR ON SALES.
.
WHY CAN'T WE GO AFTER THE FOR A
BLACK MARKET AND IMPORT INDUSTRY
AND BAD PRACTICES
INTERNATIONALLY BY SORT OF?
REGULATING AT THE POINT OF SALE
SO THAT THESE FOLKS ARE.
REPORTED.
IN ON ON DIFFERENT FOOTING
STATE IN THE IMPORT INDUSTRY AND
JUST SORT OF WONDERING IF YOU
GUYS HAVE EXPLORED THAT CHANNEL
OF LOOKING AT. SALES AND AND
ALSO IN THE LABELING FRIEND I
MEAN IN MY MIND
THE CAT IF THE OF CALIFORNIA
SWORDFISH INDUSTRIES DOING
THINGS SUSTAINABLY AND THERE
STARTED TRANSITION TO. ALTERNATE
PRACTICES EWING HE'S GOING TO IT
LIKE I AS A CONSUMER I'M WILLING
TO PAY A PREMIUM ON THAT AND
RIGHT NOW WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A
WAYS CONSUMERS TO DISTINGUISH I
MEAN YOU GET. YOU GET IS SOME
SOME SEAFOOD SHOPS WILL GIVE YOU
A LITTLE BIT OF INSIGHT BUT I
WHAT I WANT TO BUY FROM THESE
FOLKS SO SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD
LABEL BILL THAT BECAME LAUNCH SO
THEY CAN USE IT. SO YES SO WHAT
IT WHAT WHAT'S OUT THERE FOR
LABELING I'M JUST I'M JUST
OFFERING YOU TWO DIFFERENT.
THINGS GOING FORWARD AS.
ITEMS THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HELP
BOOST THIS INDUSTRY IF THEY'RE
DOING THINGS THE RIGHT WAY.
BUT I ALSO WANT TO SAY YOU KNOW
AS A SURFER.
I DON'T WANT TO JUST BE ALONE
OUT IN THOSE WATERS WITH ME IN
SOME BOATS AND.
YOU WANT SHARKS SHARKS I DO.
MAXIM I'D SAY NO SHARKS I SAY
YES WE HAVE TO CO EXIST I DON'T
WANT AN OCEAN.
STRICKEN OF ALL SPECIES JUST FOR
MAN LIKE THIS IS THIS IS
EXTINCTION ON THE LINE HERE SO I
I KNOW THIS IS HARD STUFF AND I
APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP HERE
PUSH ON THIS BOARD BECAUSE.
THESE ARE TOUGH CONVERSATIONS
AND WERE ON THE BLEEDING EDGE
HERE BUT WE GOT TO DO BETTER I
DON'T WANT US YOU KNOW FALL INTO
THE BACK ATTACK IN THIS COUNTRY
BUT LET'S FIND A WAY TO HELP
THESE FOLKS ECONOMICALLY TO GET
THROUGH IT. ANYWAY.
SENATE JACKSON INCIDENT HUESO
ANSWER STONE.
IT WILL CLOSE US WHEN IT COMES
TO SHARKS ON BEHALF OF MY FIVE
YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER WHO LOVE
SHARK.
I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT.
CERTAINLY I CERTAINLY LOOK
THESE.
BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE
HEARD THIS BILL AND.
IT WE'VE BEEN HEARING FOR QUITE
SOME TIME WHEN. I MEMBER WHEN
MIKE OF MCCORKLE COULD COME AND.
BE HERE ON HIS OWN.
RATHER BE REPRESENTED I KNOW WE
SET SOME HEALTH ISSUES.
DE LIKE A AT OR AS SENATOR
MONNING STATED I KNOW THE
FISHERMEN IN. MY DISTRICT TO BE
AMONG THE MOST.
ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AND
COMMITTED SO BARBARA A
ABSOLUTELY IN SANTA BARBARA
WITCHES MY HOMETOWN.
SO WHEN I HEAR.
WHEN I HEAR THAT WE'VE GOT A
MAJOR PROBLEM AND THE NUMBERS
ARE ATROCIOUS AND OF THE FILM
WHICH I DON'T HAVE THE.
THE STOMACH TO WATCH BUT I'VE
HEARD ABOUT THIS FILM AND THINGS
ARE GOING ON I JUST SAID THAT
THESE ARE THE FOLKS THAT I KNOW.
SO WHAT DO WE DO.
TO TO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY
I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A PROBLEM
MOST LIKELY PROBLEM I UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU FOLKS ARE FINDING
YOURSELF. SORT OF ON THE
DEFENSIVE BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE
WAY YOU DO THINGS IN YOUR SHORT
OF BEING BLAMED FOR SOMETHING
THAT I HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE IS
NOT.
I IN YOUR WHEELHOUSE IN ANY WAY
SHAPE OR FORM SO I AM GOING TO
ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH THE
SENATOR MONNING AND. SENATOR
MCGUIRE ON THIS I'M GONNA
RESERVE MY RIGHT I'M GONNA VOTE
FOR THIS NOW FOR THE PURPOSE OF
GETTING EVERYBODY TOGETHER.
AND IF WE DON'T HAVE SOMETHING
WHERE EVERYBODY HAS HAS HAS SAT
DOWN AND FIGURED THIS OUT
RECOGNIZING THE GOODWILL ON
BOTH.
I THINK BOTH OF YOU SEE PART OF
MY POEMS I THINK BOTH OF YOU ARE
RIGHT.
AND SO I'M HAVING TROUBLE
FIGURING OUT HOW WE HOW WE
ADDRESS THAT BUT THESE ARE GOOD
PEOPLE THEY'VE BEEN FISHING.
I BELIEVE SUSTAINABLY THEY'VE
BEEN COMMITTED TO THE HEALTH AND
AND OF THE OCEAN.
AND I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT WE
DO HAVE A PROBLEM SO.
I'M GOING TO AGREE AND IF THIS
BILL DOESN'T.
DOESN'T RESOLVE.
TO THE SATISFACTION OF ALL
PARTIES. ó OR I GUESS I SHOULD
TAKE MY SATISFACTION WHEN IT
COMES TO THE FLOOR I WILL NOT
VOTE FOR IT BUT I HAVE. EVERY
CONFIDENCE TO MY FOLKS FROM
SANTA BARBARA.
SENATOR ALLEN REALLY DOES HE'S A
RABBI HE.
IN MANY WAYS HE WANTS TO ON THE
ONE HAND ON THE OTHER HAND AND
HE'D WORKS VERY HARD TO FIND A
WAY THAT EVERYBODY. CAN HOLD
HANDS TOGETHER AND WITH THAT I
WON HANDS THE BLENDER WHO THE
BILL SENATOR HUESO. THANK YOU
AND THAT WAS A MOTION A DO PASS
AS AMENDED TAKE THE AMENDMENTS
HERE HE SAID SO TO APPROPRIATION
CENTER HUESO.
AND AS LONG AS THESE BILLS KEEP
COMING HERE WE'RE GONNA DEDICATE
THE SOME ON MY TIME OF UP TO
THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE THEY ARE
IMPORTANT AND IT AND IT
REFLECTS.
I'M ENORMOUS PROBLEM.
AND CALIFORNIA AND IN THE WORLD
WHO WOULD THERE IS NO DOUBT.
THAT MARINE BY DIVERSITY HAS
BEEN AFFECTED WORLDWIDE.
AND ON THE ONE HAND I'M PROUD
WHEN I LEFT THIS REPORT I SEE
THAT CALIFORNIA STUDENTS PART.
I SEE WE'RE WORKING THROUGH OUR
MARINE PROTECTED AREAS AND THAT
WERE.
SEEN A REDUCTION AND GILL NET
FISHING OFFER COAST AND THAT'S
ALL POSITIVE BUT AT THE SAME
TIME WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM. MORE
NEEDS TO BE DONE SO.
YOU KNOW YOUR EAR UP.
A HARD WORKER IN THIS AREA AND I
APPLAUD YOU AND I WANT TO
SUPPORT YOU I WANNA MAKE SURE.
THAT WE GET TO A BETTER PLACE
AND OF COURSE I I SUPPORT THE
INDUSTRY I WAS RAISED IN SAN
DIEGO IN THE PARTY LOGIN AREA.
WHEN CHICKEN OF THE SEA AND
BUMBLE BEE TUNA MOVED OUT. I
MEAN ALL THE JOBS LEFT MY
COMMUNITY AND ALL THE PEOPLE
THAT THAT WERE GAINFULLY
EMPLOYED THERE WITH PENSIONS BY
THE WAY.
THEY WERE THEY WERE REALLY GOOD
PAYING JOBS WITH PENSIONS AND
ONE OF MY AUNTS RECENTLY DIED AT
THE AGE OF A HUNDRED THREE WHO
ARE AS SHE LIVED ON THAT
PENSIONS OR HER FINAL FINAL
DAYS.
SHE RETIRED FROM FEW RETIRED
FROM WORK WHO LEVEL BUT IT'S
VERY DIFFICULT THING.
TO MAKE ACTIONS HERE THE RESULT
IN IN PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO EARN A
LIVING IT'S VERY DIFFICULT
THING.
BUT YOU ALSO CAN'T LEARN EARN A
LIVING IF YOU DEPLETE.
THE OCEANS BIODIVERSITY.
AND AND ONE DAY OR ANOTHER IT'S.
THE CHICKENS WILL COME HOME TO
ROOST ON THIS ISSUE.
AND WE HAVE TO DO ADDRESS AND
I'M PROUD TO CALIFORNIA'S TUNIS
PART BUT. MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE
AND AND.
I JUST APPLAUD YOUR EFFORT.
AND DIE IT'S JUST SO YOU KNOW
PRODUCT OF OUR DAY AND AGE AND
THE FACT THAT WE HAVE NOT BEEN
THAT'S GOOD STEWARDS.
OF OUR ENVIRONMENT A AS A WORLD
CALIFORNIA'S STUDENTS PART THE
WORLD IS NOT.
AND UNFORTUNATELY HERE WE WE
WANT TO PUNISH OUR LOCAL
BUSINESSES AND.
THAT'S A DIFFICULT THING TO DO
HERE.
BUT WHAT WE DO WHEN WHEN WE HAVE
A WILLINGNESS TO BE PART OF A
SOLUTION.
WE NEED TO BRING MORE MORE
COUNTRIES IN PART OF THE
SOLUTION.
YOU KNOW A FEW READ ABOUT
SOMALIA THE PIRACY THAT'S
HAPPENING ABOUT THERE'S BECAUSE.
THERE THERE COAST IS JUST BEEN
DEPLETED.
OF ANY ABILITY FOR THEM TO FISH
THEIR OWN COASTER MAKE A LIVING
HAS A BECAUSE THAT WAS OUR
NUMBER ONE ECONOMY.
NOW THEY'RE PROBABLY THE POOREST
COUNTRY IN THE WORLD AND I DON'T
WANT THAT TO HAPPEN HERE. IT IN
OUR STATE AND NOT ON OUR PART OF
THE WORLD WE NEED TO.
WE NEED TO KEEP THAT.
BY DIVERSITY THRIVING THANK
PERFECT THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND
HUESO CENTER STONE CLOSE OUT.
MAKE IT.
I DON'T HAVE TOO MANY COMMERCIAL
FISHERMEN IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY
HAVE
WE DON'T HAVE A COASTLINE EVER
AFTER A BIG EARTHQUAKE YOU
MIGHT.
YOU NEVER KNOW.
ABOUT BUT AS A AS A BIOLOGY
MAJOR OF THE
THE BIO DIVERSITY OF THE OCEAN
IS VERY IMPORTANT. TO ME THE
MEMOS THAT WERE ARTICULATED.
ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME SHARKS
ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE
ECOSYSTEM WITHIN THE OF THE
OCEAN.
.
HI I'M GONNA DO THE
COUNTERBALANCE SO I'M NOT GOING
TO SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY
BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT
PROTECTS. THE BUSINESSES THAT I
HEAR UP AND DOWN THE COAST ARE
ARE RESPONSIBLE FISHERIES
BRIGHT.
FISHERMEN AND SO.
BUT I'M GONNA SAY TO MY FRIEND.
SENATOR ALLEN WHO I KNOW IS A A
GUY THAT WILL REACH OUT AND TRY
TO COME UP WITH.
SOLUTIONS I THINK HE'S GOING TO
WORK WITH YOU AND IF WE CAN COME
TO SOME. COMPROMISE IF
PROTECTION OR ABILITY TO FINISH
WHILE MINIMIZING.
THE DEVASTATION TO THE MAMMALS
OF WE TALK ABOUT I'M GOING TO.
VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE BILL WHEN
IT HITS THE SENATE FLOOR SO I
WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO GET
TOGETHER. HOBBY VOTE NO TODAY.
BUT I I KNOW THE CENTER I WAS
GOING TO WORK WITH YOU AND I
HOPE THAT WE COME TO A
REASONABLE CONCLUSION. THAT.
.
AND PROTECT THE OCEAN TO THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPONENTS.
UP WITNESSES AND FOR THE YEAH
THANKS EVERYONE NIGHT WE LOOK WE
GAVE YOU A LOT OF TIME I'VE
HEARD THIS BILL OVER THE YEARS.
WE'VE HEARD FROM A LOT OVER THE
YEARS IT'S EXTRAORDINARY
CHALLENGE.
