WELCOME READY GET
STARTED WE'RE GONNA BEGIN AS A
SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE COMMITTEE ON
ENERGY UTILITIES AND
COMMUNICATIONS [inaudible]
WELCOME --
WE'RE GONNA HEAR THE
PRESENTATION.
ON THE ARE.
FOR FROM THE FIRST ITEM --
AB EIGHT NINETY THREE BY
ASSEMBLY MEMBER.
GARCIA WELCOME.
AND BEGIN WHEN YOU'RE READY
MIXTURE THANK YOU THAT TODAY I
PRESENT A. B. EIGHT NINETY THREE
THAT WOULD REQUIRE AN OLD
SERVING ENTITIES TO PROCURE.
THREE FIVE HUNDRED MEGAWATTS OF
ELECTRICITY FROM JUST NORMAL
POWER PLANTS.
BEFORE I GET INTO SPECIFICS AYE
SO WE WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THE WORK OF YOUR COMMITTEE STAFF.
AND THE AMENDMENTS THAT THEY PUT
FORWARD AT LIKE TWO OF FORMALLY
ACCEPT COMMITTEES PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS.
PACIFIC HE WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE
HIM BACK THESE TIMELINES TO
BETTER LINE WITH THE IRP PROCESS
AND TO LOWER THE OVERALL
PROCUREMENT NUMBER. TO THREE
THOUSAND MEGAWATTS TO ALLOW THE
FIRST.
HAVE TO BE PROCURED FROM
EXISTING RESOURCES AND THE
SECOND HALF TO BE PROCURED FROM
NEW RESOURCE.
THESE AMENDMENTS ARE OUTLINED IN
THE HANDOUT THAT YOU BEEN
PROVIDED AS WELL WE'VE GOT A
CHART THAT.
SHOULD I HAVE A FUNNY.
CLEANUP MARGARET IS AN IMPORTANT
PRIORITY FOR STATE.
AND WE'LL ONLY BE ACHIEVED BY
KEEPING CURRENT RENEWABLE POWER
PLANTS ONLINE.
AND DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO
HELP NEW RENEWABLE POWER SOURCES
TO BE DEVELOPED.
OTHERWISE WE RISK EXPORTING OUR
MISSIONS TO OTHER STATES AS
UTILITIES PROCURE THE ADDITIONAL
RENEWABLE POWER THEY NEED.
AS THE RP ES INCREASES IN THE
FUTURE.
THE NEAR TERM RETIREMENT OF
NUCLEAR RESOURCES SUCH AS THE
APPLE CANYON AND SAN AND NO
FREAK COMBINED WITH AN EVER
GROWING DARKER.
ISSUE AS HE INMAN RESOURCES LIKE
SOLAR AND WIND CONTINUED TO COME
ONLINE PROVIDES CALIFORNIA WITH
THE UNIQUE AND TIMELY
OPPORTUNITY TO FOCUS ON
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY RESOURCES.
THAT WILL HELP US MEET OUR
ENERGY AND CLIMATE GOALS.
THE GOAL OF THIS BILL IS TO
SUPPLEMENT AND NOT SUPPLANT.
THE NEW INTEGRATED RESOURCE
PLANNING PROCESS CURRENTLY
UNDERWAY.
THAT PROCESS IS IMPORTANT FOR
ENSURING THAT ARE CLIMATE COST
AND RELIABILITY GOALS ARE MET.
BUT DOES NOT GO FAR ENOUGH IN
DIRECTING INVESTMENTS IN
STRATEGIC WAYS THAT WOULD ENSURE
MAXIMUM CHO BENEFITS.
HE'LL DOUBLE POWER IS A
RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCE THAT
HAS NEVER CITY TO OUR ENERGY
PORTFOLIO WITH ADDED RELIABILITY
AND PREDICTABILITY.
REDUCING OUR STATES NEED TO USE
NATURAL GAS FIRED PLANTS TO
ENSURE ENERGY SUPPLY MEET ENERGY
DEMAND.
GET THE WHOLE PROJECT
DEVELOPMENTS ALSO PROVIDE
SIGNIFICANT AIR QUALITY AND
ECONOMIC BENEFITS IMPARTS A
STATE LIKE.
OUR DISTRICT MISTER CHAIRMAN
WHERE THE SALTON SEA CAN
CONTRIBUTE AN ESTIMATE OF
TWELFTH TWO THOUSAND MEGAWATTS
OF NEW CLEAN ENERGY WHILE
MITIGATING HARMFUL PARTICULAR
EMISSIONS FROM EXPOSED VIA.
AB EIGHT NINETY THREE IS ONE
PIECE OF A LARGER ENERGY
DISCUSSION HAPPENING TODAY IN
THIS CAPITAL.
THE CONVERSATION THAT I'M SURE
WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY OUT OVER
THE SUMMER.
HOPE THAT YOU WILL SUPPORT THIS
BILL TO KEEP THIS CONVERSATION
MOVING FORWARD SO WE CAN ENSURE
THAT YOUR THERMAL POWER YOU MAY
BE PART OF THE LARGER POLICY
PACKAGE --
HERE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
STRONGLY URGE YOUR EYEBALLS.
THE F. THREE SPEAKERS YES
PRESENTING.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBER SCOTT
WHICH ON BEHALF THE CALIFORNIA
STATE PATRIOTS COUNCIL THE WEST
USED IS COUNSEL SHE MILL WORKERS
IN THE STATUS OF ELECTRICAL
WORKERS.
STRONG SUPPORT OF THIS BILL AS
THE AUTHOR STATED MISTER
CHAIRMAN.
A WIN WE CLOSED A SENATOR FOR A
NUCLEAR POWER STATION WE LOST
TWENTY TWO HUNDRED MEGAWATTS OF
GHG FREE --
BASELOAD POWER RATHER THAN
TAPPING THE STATE'S RESOURCES OF
GEOTHERMAL.
WHERE DID THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THE P. YOU SEE IN
THAT I SO DO?
THEY SPENT SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS OF CALIFORNIA REPAIR
MONEY TO BUILD A TRANSMISSION
LINE IN ARIZONA.
SO WE CAN BRING MORE ARIZONA GAS
FIRED POWER INTO THE LA BASIN.
USING HUGE LOST OPPORTUNITY.
LET'S NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE
WITH DIAVEL CANYON WHICH WILL BE
SHUTTING IN.
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE WILL BE
LOSING YET ANOTHER TWENTY TWO
HUNDRED MEGAWATTS OF GHG FREE
BASELOAD POWER.
I'M IN REGARDS TO THESE PROUD WE
HAVE FIVE SEVEN PROJECTS UNDER
WITH PLA'S OF THAT ARE READY TO
BE DEVELOPED.
THE PIPE TRADES PARTICULARLY --
FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THIS
BECAUSE OF ALL THE RENEWABLE AND
TYPES OF RENEWABLE ENERGY THIS
IS.
THE ONLY TYPE OF RENEWABLE
ENERGY WHERE THERE HAVE
SIGNIFICANT IMPLEMENT INTERESTS
SO THAT'S USUALLY IMPORTANT AND
LASTLY MISTER CHAIR.
THE OPPOSITION THE SOLAR
INDUSTRY IS GOING TO COME UP
OPPOSE THIS BILL.
AND THEY'RE GONNA TELL THE
MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE THAT
WE CANNOT GO DOWN THIS PATH
BECAUSE THIS FORM OF ENERGY IS
JUST TOO EXPENSIVE.
WELL I WOULD SUBMIT TO THIS
COMMITTEE.
THAT HAD THAT BEEN THE ARGUMENT
TWELVE YEARS AGO.
WE NEVER WOULD HAVE THE SOLAR
INDUSTRY A ROOFTOP SOLAR
INDUSTRY.
IN THE STATE BECAUSE AT THE TIME
THAT WE WERE SUBSIDIZING AND
SUBSIDIZING TO THE TUNE OF
BILLIONS AND BILLIONS AND
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THROUGH CSI
AND THROUGH OTHER PROGRAMS NET
METERING AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
THE SOLAR INDUSTRY WAS NOT
COMPETITIVE WITH OTHER FORMS OF
POWER IN FACT THEIR PRICE VERY
SIMILAR TO WHAT GEOTHERMAL IS
PRICED TODAY.
DON'T BUY THAT LINE OF ARGUMENT
S. DEVELOPED THIS RESOURCE WE
URGENT IVA.
CHAIR AND MEMBERS MY NAME IS
CASSANDRA COUGH I'M THE DIRECTOR
OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS FOR CALPINE.
AND SEVERAL OF AS I HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON THIS ISSUE FOR A LONG
TIME AND I DON'T MEAN TO DATE
MYSELF.
BUT I REMEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND
TWO ANY PASSED THE FIRST 20% ARE
PS I'M GOING TO TELL YOU.
CALPINE OWNS AND OPERATES THE
WORLD'S LARGEST YEAR THERMAL
FACILITY WITH SEVEN HUNDRED
TWENTY FIVE MEGAWATTS COMING OUT
OF THIRTEEN POWER PLANTS
STRADDLING LAKE AND SEND THEM A
COUNTY.
IN TWO THOUSAND AND TWO WHEN WE
PASSED THE FIRST OUR PS WHICH
WAS 20% BY.
TWENTY SEVENTEEN CALPINE
GEOTHERMAL WAS ACTUALLY WRITTEN
OUT OF THE BILL BECAUSE WE WERE
CALLED LIQUID GOLD WE TAKE UP
ALL THE PROCUREMENT.
I AND YOU KNOW FOR WE COULDN'T
QUALIFY ELL WE HAD TO CHANGE
THAT BUT MY HOW THINGS HAVE
CHANGED.
SO WE UPDATED TWENTY OH AT
201133% BY TWENTY TWENTY TWENTY
FIFTEEN WE DID 50% BY TWENTY
THIRTY AND WHO KNOWS WHAT'S
GONNA HAPPEN IN.
TWENTY EIGHTEEN BUT THROUGH ALL
OF THAT WE'VE DONE THE OUR PS TO
MAINTAIN A LOCAL.
ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL
BENEFITS.
LET'S NOT FORGET THE G. H. YEAH
I DON'T THINK IN TWO THOUSAND
TWO WE HONESTLY NEAR WHAT IT
USED HE WAS IT WAS ABOUT AIR
QUALITY THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
GEOTHERMAL DIES.
WE ARE THE LARGEST TAXPAYER AND
THE CONSUMER COUNTY AND I KNOW
THAT'S WHAT THE ASSEMBLYMAN
WOULD LIKE FOR HIS DISTRICT IN
FOR YOUR DISTRICT AND POOR WHERE
THERE'S GEOTHERMAL.
SO WHILE THE GOAL HAS INCREASED
EVERY TIME.
PROCUREMENT OF SOLAR AND WIND
CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND WE HAVE
NOT SEEN PROCUREMENT MEMBER WE
USED TO BE OF THE COULD GOLD.
WE HAVE TRIED TO AMEND THE
STATUTE BALANCED VERSED.
WE RUN BILLS THAT REQUIRE THEM
TO DO AN IMMIGRATION MATTER AND
YET WE DON'T GET PROCURED.
SO THIS YEAR FINALLY A MODEL
ACTUALLY HAS PROVED WHAT WE HAVE
SAID TO BE TRUE ALL THE TIME
THAT WE IN FACT ARE THE LOW COST --
PROVIDER FOR INTEGRATING
RENEWABLES IN A RELIABLE LOW
COST UHD FASHION SO IF YOU SEE
RECENTLY RESULT.
ISSUE TO RESOLVE MODEL THAT
CONCLUDED THAT.
I IN FACT TO CALL FOR OVER
THIRTY FIVE HUNDRED MEGAWATTS OF
THIS THREE THOUSAND MEGAWATTS IS
CONSERVATIVE.
AND IT PROVES THAT WE'VE SAID
ALL ALONG AND NOT ONLY WILL WE
BE THE LOW COST PROVIDER AT TO
MEET RELIABILITY R. G.H. T.
GOALS WE HAVE ALL OF THOSE
ECONOMIC BENEFITS AS WELL.
SO IT'S A NO BRAINER BUT I MIGHT
BE A LITTLE BIASED --
STOOD FOR THOSE REASONS WE
SUPPORT THIS BILL WE HAVE COME
TOGETHER IS AN INDUSTRY AS AS
PEOPLE AS MEMBERS NORTH AND
SOUTH AND WE'RE REALLY WORKING
TOWARDS A SOLUTION WE'VE HAD
OTHER IDEAS AS WELL.
BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
RETAIN EXISTING ABOUT SEVENTEEN
HUNDRED MEGAWATTS OF EXISTING
WHICH ARE COMING UP THREATEN TO
COME OFF CONTRACT.
AND WE BUILD NEW AND IT'S
IMPORTANT ART TO OUR AREA'S AS
WELL AS TO THE STATE WHICH IS
WHAT THE RESOLVE MODEL PRUE'S
BUT IT IS ONLY A MODEL IT DOES
NOT.
MANDATE THAT LOAD SERVING
ENTITIES FOLLOWED THAT AND THIS
SIMPLY SAYS TAKE A CONSERVATIVE
APPROACH AT LEAST. THREE
THOUSAND MEGAWATTS.
THAT'S WHY WE ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT THANK YOU.
I YES MISTER CHAIRMAN IS A KLM
KEVIN KELLY FROM IMPERIAL
IRRIGATION DISTRICT.
OF LIKE CASSANDRA AND CALPINE --
ID STRONGLY IN SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL -- IT
OCCURS TO ME THAT --
MISTER CHAIR WHEN YOU RAN YOUR
BILL SOME YEARS AGO.
STRAIGHT UP CARVE OUT --
CPUC ACTUALLY SHOWED UP AND TOLD
US THAT SO GREG DIDN'T NEED IT.
ID COULDN'T DELIVERED THERE WAS
TOO EXPENSIVE.
I AM PLEASED TO HEAR THAT THEY
HAVE AN OPINION THERE'S NOW A
MODEL THAT SHOWS THE GRID NEEDS --
CALIFORNIA SHOULDN'T DO THIS
BECAUSE OF THE GOOD YOU CAN DO
FOR OUR REGION.
AND THE TROUBLED SALTON SEA.
THAT YOU SHOULD GO FORWARD WITH
IT AND SUPPORT IT BECAUSE OF THE
GOOD -- THE
SALTON SEA REGION CONDUCIVE OF
THE ENTIRE STATE --
THIS IS.
THE TWO THOUSAND MEGAWATTS OF
UNTAPPED --
RENEWABLE RESOURCE --
LARGEST IN THE HEMISPHERE IF NOT
THE WORLD [inaudible]
AND IT'S HIGH TIME THAT WE
ARTISTS [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU DO IT --
IF THEY'RE SPEAKERS IN SUPPORT
OF THIS MEASURE IF YOU COULD
PLEASE COME UP STATE YOUR NAME.
OF WE ARE PRESENTING AND YOUR
POSITION ON THE BELT --
SPEAKERS IN SUPPORT PLEASE COME
UP TO THE MIKE THAT'S BEEN A
PROVIDED THERE.
I KELLY BOY ON BEHALF THE
CALIFORNIA LOW CARBON FUEL AND
ENERGY COALITION IN SUPPORT WE
LOVE YOU SEE ABROAD AND WE THINK
IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT POLICY.
MY NAME IS VINCE SENIOR I AM
WITH A COMPANY CALLED NERGY
SOURCE WE OWN AND OPERATE A
PLANET THE SOLVENCY AND WE TO
SUPPORT THIS.
BILL.
A MORENO ON BEHALF OF SIERRA
CLUB CALIFORNIANS SUPPORT --
ANY HORN OF THE DEPUTY CEO AT
THE COUNTY THE IMPERIAL AND LIKE
LAKE IS A NORMAL COUNTY THE
GEOTHERMAL INDUSTRY IS OUR
LARGEST TAXPAYERS WELL AND WE'RE
VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL.
ANY AYE SPEAKERS AND UPS
.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS WHEN IN ITALY SO REFORM
WITH THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE.
HEALTH CHAMBER RESPECTFULLY
OPPOSES AB NINETY THREE WHILE WE
DO APPRECIATE THE OFFERS
REDUCTION OF THE MEGAWATTS FROM.
THIRTY FIVE HUNDRED TO THREE
THOUSAND THIS BILL STILL IMPOSES
A VERY LARGE THE CURRENT MANDATE.
THE GEOTHERMAL POWER ON A
SHORTER TIME LINE AND DOES SO
WITH A SUGGESTION IN THE MAY NOT
QUALIFY FOR THE RENEWABLE
PORTFOLIO STANDARD.
ALTHOUGH THERE'S SOME DISPUTE
OVER MODELING FOR GEOTHERMAL
POWER THE COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES
DOES POINT OUT OF THE FORTY
THREE CURRENTLY OPERATING
GEOTHERMAL PLANTS.
THERE IS ONLY AN ESTIMATED
CAPACITY OF JUST UNDER TWENTY
SEVEN HUNDRED MEGAWATTS AND
FUTURE CAPACITY IS STILL
UNCERTAIN.
AB EIGHT NINETY THREE WOULD
CURRENTLY REQUIRED THE KILLED
UTILITIES COMPLETE.
AN EXPEDITED PROCUREMENT PLAN
AND WHILE WE APPRECIATE THE
AMENDMENTS WE STILL THINKS IT'S
AN ACCELERATED PLANS. TO THIS
BILL PASSED UTILITIES MAY BE
FORCED TO OBTAIN GEOTHERMAL
POWER FROM OUT OF STATE SOURCES
THREATENING IN STATE JOBS IN
OTHER RENEWABLE SECTORS.
REQUIRING PROCUREMENT FROM AS
YET UNBUILT GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES
WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE
COSTS FOR CALIFORNIA RATEPAYERS.
STATUTES REQUIRED UTILITIES TO
MEET THE RENEWABLE GOALS BIKE
PROCURING POWER PURSUANT TO
LEAST COST BEST FIT MODEL.
THIS ENCOURAGES INNOVATION WHILE
KEEPING COSTS CALIFORNIANS LOW
ENSURING RELIABILITY THE ENERGY
GRID.
THE CHAIRMAN OF A PARTICULAR
TECHNOLOGY WILL CIRCUMVENT THAT
PROCESS AND FORCE CALIFORNIANS
TO PAY WHATEVER COST NECESSARY
TO MEET THAT MANDATE.
ACQUIRING THIS LARGE AMOUNT OF
GEOTHERMAL POWER WILL INEVITABLY
DIVERT CALIFORNIA JOBS AND OTHER
RENEWABLES THE STATE'S WORK HARD
TO ENSURE THAT ENERGY POLICY IS
TECHNOLOGY NEUTRAL.
NOT FAVORING ONE RENEWABLE OVER
ANOTHER HAS THE EFFECT OF
SPURRING INNOVATION AND
COMPETITION. TO DEVELOP MORE
EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT
RENEWABLE RESOURCES.
MR KARAMANLI WILL FORCE
UTILITIES TO SHIFT TOWARDS A
MAJORITY DO FORMA PROCUREMENT
BASE OVER OTHER TECHNOLOGY
HINDERING THE COMPETITION AND
INNOVATION CALIFORNIA NEEDS TO
BETTER ALLOW US TO MEET OUR
AMBITIOUS CLIMATE CHANGE GIRLS.
CALPERS SHOULD CONTINUE TO MAKE
REMAIN TECHNOLOGY NEUTRAL AS IT
CONTINUES THE RENEWABLE
PORTFOLIO STANDARD PROCESS. FOR
THESE REASONS CAL CHAMBER WOULD
ASK YOU.
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS CAN'T KELSO
BEHALF OF VESTIGIAL MILLIONS
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL --
AS HAS BEEN REFERENCED COUPLE
YEARS AGO THERE WAS A BILL THAT
WOULD HAVE REQUIRED FIVE HUNDRED
MEGAWATTS OF GEOTHERMAL
PROCUREMENT THIS BILL NOW AS
AMENDED CENTER STANDARDS THREE
THOUSAND MEGAWATTS.
AND SINCE THE TIME OF THE
ORIGINAL DISCUSSION ON THE PRIOR
BILL THE LEGISLATURE APPROVED S.
B. THREE FIFTY WHICH REFERENCE
HAS BEEN MADE.
HERE TODAY ON THE INTEGRATED
RESOURCE PLAN WE BELIEVE THIS
BILL SUPERSEDES OUT BECAUSE IT
TELLS THAT THE I. O. USE ANOTHER
RETAIL SELLERS THAT WOULD MUST
PROCURE.
THAT AMOUNT OF POWER.
THE PROVISIONS OF THE RESOURCE
PLAN ALSO PROVIDED FOR
PROCUREMENT OF AT LEAST 50% OUR
PS.
FROM A RESOURCE MIX AT JUST AND
REASONABLE RATES TO ENSURE
SYSTEM.
AND LOCAL RELIABILITY AND ALSO
MINIMIZE IMPACTS ON CUSTOMER
BILLS.
WE BELIEVE THIS BILL.
EFFECTIVELY PUTS IN FRONT OF ALL
OF THOSE OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE
IN PLACE.
AND GIVES THEM --
A MANDATE.
IN TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN ESTROGEN
A PREPARED 43% OF OUR RESOURCES
FARM RENEWABLE RESOURCES WELL
AHEAD OF THE STATE'S MANDATES
FOR EACH OF THE DIFFERENT CYCLES.
WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO NEED FOR
ADDITIONAL PROCUREMENT AT
PRESENT.
LAST YEAR BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE
OF THERE WAS AN INFORMATIONAL
HEARING HELD ON THE ISSUE OF
COMMUNITY CHOICE AGGREGATION.
WHERE WAS STATED ON THE
COMMITTEE BACKGROUND MATERIALS
THAT WE CAN LOSE 80% OF OUR LOAD?
SEE CA SHORTLY BEFORE THAT THERE
WAS A LETTER SENT BY GERMAN Y.
SIMILAR OF THE CCM PRESIDENT
PICTURE OF THE P. YOU SEE.
THAT NOTED 6290% OF OUR LOAD
COULD.
DEPART OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
YEARS.
PROCUREMENT MANDATE THAT'S
PROPOSED HERE WITH FURTHER
JASPER THOSE CONDITIONS.
WE BELIEVE THE FOCUS SHOULD BE
SPENT ON MOVING FOR WITH THE
INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN ITS
UPDATED FOR TWO YEARS IF THERE
IS A PROCUREMENT NEED WE CAN
PURSUE IT.
ALSO WON THE THE CCA ISSUES WITH
SIGNIFICANT COST SHIFTS ON
CERTAIN LOW.
FREE BE FORCED TO GO BUY POWER
THAT OUR CUSTOMERS DO NOT NEED --
AND IN CONTRADICTION TO ALL THE
OTHER THINGS THAT ARE OUT THERE
WITH -- WITH
LEGISLATURE'S AGAINST.
FINALLY I WOULD NOTE THE UC
ISSUED A GREEN BOOK RECENTLY AS
PART OF THAT GREEN BOOK --
PRESIDENT PICKER NOTED THAT WE
HAVE A VARIETY OF ISSUES THAT
COULD CAUSE THE STATE TO DRIFT
INTO THE NEXT ENERGY CRISIS.
WE THINK THIS IS ONE OF THOSE
COMPONENTS ONE WE'RE WHEN WE'RE
LOOKING PIECEMEAL APPROACH TO
PROCUREMENT. FOR ALL THOSE
REASONS ON THE REASONS STATED IN
OUR LETTER WOULD ASK FOR YOU
KNOW.
IT'S REVISED ANY OTHER SPEAKERS
IN OPPOSITION.
APPROACH THE MICRO HERE STATE
YOUR NAME.
I SHARE IT WITH LARGE COUNSELOR
SOCIO XIN WE ARE OPPOSED TO THE
BILL IN ITS CURRENT FORM. ONE
NOTE IN THE ASSEMBLY --
ENERGY COMMITTEE WE DID SUGGEST
THAT PERHAPS THE AUTHOR.
MIGHT CONSIDER OPENING THIS UP
TO A BROADER PER CERTAINLY WOULD
BE OPEN TO THAT.
THANK YOU MELISSA CORTES ROTH ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA WIND
ENERGY ASSOCIATION ALSO IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL.
WE HAVE HISTORICALLY WITH%
PROPOSED ON ANY POLICIES THAT
PICK WINNERS AND LOSERS WITHIN
THE OUR PS.
HAVING SAID THAT WE UNDERSTAND
THAT THE CURRENT SYSTEM MAY NOT
BE PROVIDING THAT DIVERSE A
BALANCED PORTFOLIO THAT YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR IN WHICH CASE WE
WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME POLICIES
THAT MOVE FORWARD.
THAT ENCOURAGE ADDITIONAL
PROCUREMENT FRAUD RENEWABLES AND
GOOD AFTERNOON DANIEL MALES ON
BEHALF OF THE AMERICAN WIND
ENERGY ASSOCIATION CALIFORNIA
CAUCUS WE ARE ALSO OPPOSED TO
THIS BILL BUT LOOK FORWARD TO
SEEING.
OTHER MECHANISMS TO CEO OF MORE
DIVERSE RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO FOR
CALIFORNIA THANK YOU.
THANK YOU CHAIRMAN CENTERS --
RYAN PARINI WAS SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA EDISON --
FOR THE REASONS OUTLINED BY OUR
SISTER UTILITY WE REMAIN OPPOSED
THE BILL THANK YOU.
PATRICK WELL TO THE CALIFORNIA
MISLEAD TILDES ASSOCIATION WE
UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS OF
IMPERIAL IRRIGATION DISTRICT IN
OFFERING YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
THE VALUE OF ADDITIONAL
GEOTHERMAL PROCUREMENT IMPERIAL
VALLEY.
AND HOWEVER CMA BELIEVES THAT
AND WE SHOULD ADDRESS THE
SERIOUS CONCERNS THROUGH OTHER
ACTIONS RATHER THAN IMPOSE
ADDITIONAL COST ANOTHER
UTILITIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
WHERE OPPOSE THE BILL THANK YOU?
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
FIRST CHECK OF MOSS ON BEHALF OF
THE SACRAMENTO BEE JUST FOR
UTILITIES DISTRICT IN OPPOSITION --
ON BEHALF OF THE SOLAR ENERGY
INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION IN
OPPOSITION.
WE HAVE A SPECIFIC OR WE HAVE AN
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED POSITION
WHICH ARE.
ON CONCERNS WERE WRITTEN IN THE
ANALYSIS [inaudible]
AND THANK YOU.
MISTER CHAIRMAN FIRST CHRIS
PATTERSON ON BEHALF OF PACIFIC

OF THE CINEMA CLEAN POWER IN
OPPOSITION.
GRAY COOK APPELLANT BEHALF OF
THE NO THE CULPRIT POWER AGENCY
IN OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ANYONE ELSE
IN BETWEEN THERE'S ANYONE ELSE.
I'D LIKE --
TO REGISTER POSITION
[inaudible]
OKAY WELL.
IN A WEEK.
I I RAN A SIMILAR BILL AS YOU
KNOW MANY YEARS AGO [inaudible]
AND SIMILAR OPPOSITION.
BUT SINCE THEN.
LOT OF NEW INFORMATION HAS COME
FORWARD THAT VALIDATES THE
POSITION THAT WE TOOK BACK THEN.
THAT SUPPORTS THE POSITION THAT
WE WE TOOK THAT.
THAT -- DOES
IDENTIFY THE NEED FOR GEOTHERMAL.
FOR ALL THE REASONS THAT WERE
WERE MENTIONED AT IN THE
TESTIMONY.
WE NEED THIS POWER.
AND ONE ONE SPEAKER SAID DON'T
SUPPORT THIS.
BILL FOR WHAT --
THIS JOKER MCADOO FOR THE
SOLVENCY BUT WHAT.
YOUR THERAPIST DO FOR THE GRID.
AND I ALSO I HAVE THAT ON WE WE
SHOULD ALSO SUPPORT IT. FOR WHAT
GEOTHERMAL COULD DO FOR THE
SOLVENCY BECAUSE AS MANY OF YOU
KNOW.
THAT IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS ALL
THE WERE TRYING TO DO WHAT WE
CAN TO FIX THAT --
IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT'S
GONNA NEED [inaudible]
A COMPREHENSIVE.
HA HA PLAN TO FIX ASEAN OF I'VE
ALWAYS SAID AND I CONTINUE TO
SAY THE GEOTHERMAL AS PART.
OF THAT MIX [inaudible]
AND IF.
LOOK FIXING THE SALTON SEA IS A
MASSIVE PROBLEM THAT WILL HAVE.
REVERBERATING IMPACTS ACROSS THE
STATE EVERY COUNTY [inaudible]
AND WESTERN.
UNITED STATES WILL WILL FEEL THE
IMPACTS.
OF ASSAULTED SEE THAT'S NOT
[inaudible]
RESOLVED.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE AREAS
WHERE IT GETS A LITTLE IT'S A
LITTLE PAINFUL TO GO THROUGH
THIS PROCESS AND ESTABLISH IN.
YOU KNOW A MANDATE ON THIS I
UNDERSTAND THAT IS.
EVERYBODY'S GOT A STEP OF BEFORE
THE SOLUTION THAT'S GOTTA BE.
A FIX THAT --
THAT GOES INTO DIFFERENT.
AREAS ENERGY ECONOMY --
YOU KNOW.
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE CSUS LOT
OF THINGS THAT WOULD HAVE --
TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN
COMING UP WITH THAT WITH THE
SOLUTION [inaudible]
SO -- I YOU
KNOW I SUPPORT THIS BILL AND I
AND I AND WE WERE A LOT MORE
EXPERIENCE NOW.
TODAY THAN WE HAVE BEEN IN
AWHILE AND I AND I THINK THIS IS
THE RIGHT TIME TO MOVE FORWARD
NOW THAT I THINK WE HAVE MORE.
MORE SUPPORT FOR THIS MATTER
THAN WE DID BEFORE BUT AT THE
SAME TIME NOW THAT WE HAVE MORE
DATA.
THAT OF THAT BACK UP THE
ARGUMENTS OR MAKING.
ANY MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
WISH TO SPEAK AND YEAH THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN ARE.
AT SO I THROUGH I SUPPORT THE
POLICY ON IN THIS BILL.
I PROVIDE AND I APPRECIATE BTH
THE CHAIRS WORK AND ASSEMBLY
MEMBER YOUR WORK IN BRINGING
THIS FORWARD I THINK FRAUD
REASON SAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO
BE A LOT OF BENEFITS FROM THIS
BILL.
I HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC CONCERN
ABOUT HE BILL WOULD HAVE
ARTICULATED A TO THE AUTHOR AND
THAT IS THAT THE DEGENERATION --
IN THE BILL IS.
OF A CALLIN VIRUS SCREEN --
AND THIS IS THEN --
I KNOW BONE OF CONTENTION
BETWEEN NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA FOR AWHILE NOW.
ID ACCOUNT VIRUS GREEN THE
FORMULA THAT HE USES ARE ALMOST
COMPLETELY REALLY --
IS BAD FOR NORTHERN CALIFORNIA --
AS A STRONG BIAS ARE TOWARDS ON
OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE I
SUPPORT ENVIRON THE Y. EMPIRES
SCREEN EXISTS WE HAVE
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE DEEPLY.
I'M SUFFERING FROM ENVIRONMENTAL
CONTAMINATION AND AND POOR AIR
QUALITY AND ARE THOSE AREAS
ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE.
OUR WE SHOULD BE EMPHASIZING
GETTING RESOURCES ON OUR
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION --
IN THOSE PARTS OF THE STATE I
SUPPORT THAT.
BUT WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS ACCOUNT
VIRUS GREEN OVER TIME AYE IT'S
BEING APPLIED IS A FORMULA IN A
GROWING --
OR A SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND
WHERE IT WAS CREATED ARE AND IT
GETS TO THE POINT WHERE IT
BECOMES LIKE A DEFAULT FORMULA.
AND THAT --
HARMS THE BAY AREA HARMS
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
OUGHT.
AYE ON I KNOW WE'VE HAD A LOT
CAUCUS THAT WE DON'T. ONE OF
SUPPORT BILLS ANYMORE --
DIED ARE.
WEAVING INAPPROPRIATELY ARE
COMPLETELY COVERED BY THE
EMPIRES SCREEN ARE YOU KNOW I'VE
SUPPORTED BILLS THAT HAVE BEEN
LET'S SAY 25% AND VIRUS GREEN
WITH IS MORE OF A BALANCE BUT
THIS COVERS EVERYTHING.
I AND SOME WONDERING ABOUT THE-AUTHOR IF THERE'S A WILLINGNESS.
TO OUR TO CONSIDER A CHANGE INTO
NOT HAVE TO COVER THE ENTIRE
BILL.
SO ALSO WOULD WOULD SAY THAT THE
ARM.
THIS BALLOT COMMUNITIES COME
WHILE SCREEN DEFINITION.
IS WHAT'S BEING USE BY THE THAT
IRP.
AND SO THE BILL BILLY ALIGNS
WITH THE CURRENT JOB STATUES
THAT ARE IN PLACE [inaudible]
THE POTENTIAL NEW GEOTHERMAL
THAT THAT COULD COME ONLINE.
IS ALL IN THE ECONOMICALLY
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES --
THAT -- THE
CENTER AND I PULLED [inaudible]
REPRESENT.
AND THAT ADDRESS --
THE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES THAT
MAKE UP THE CAMERA SCREEN.
AT AS WELL AS THE ECONOMICALLY
DISADVANTAGED ISSUES THAT I
THINK MANY OF OUR BAY AREA.
I CAUCUS COLLEAGUES THAT REYES
THAT THE COUNT BY A SCREEN DOES
NOT ENCOMPASS.
OUT FOR THOSE REASONS WE STARTED
A CONVERSATION A TWO YEARS AGO
AND AUTHORED A BILL AND
CONJUNCTION WITH SENATOR I'M
SORRY WITH THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER.
NOW CONGRESSMAN JIMMY GOMES AB
FIFTY FIFTY THAT EXPANDED ITS.
COVERAGE OF THE CONCERNS.
RELATED TO DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES IN AREAS THAT ARE
NOT COVERED BY THE CALAVERAS
SCREEN SO.
WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT IF WE
WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE CALAVERAS
SCREEN BEING USED FOR THE I RP?
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE
THAT DISCUSSION AS IT RELATES TO
ENERGY PLANNING PROCESSES --
THAT ARE UNDER WAY IN THAT
UTILIZED THE CALABAR SCREEN.
A CLEARLY I CAN SEE WHY ARE THEY
WOULD BE USING --
THAT PARTICULAR MODEL ON THAT IS
THAT MOST OF THE TIMES WHERE
THESE ENERGY.
FACILITIES ARE BEING PLANNED FOR
AND ULTIMATELY DEVELOP.
THEY ARE IN OUR ECONOMIC THE AND
DISPROPORTIONATELY
ENVIRONMENTALLY IMPACTED
COMMUNITIES.
WHICH IS WHY I WILL SAY IN
ASSUME THAT.
IS THE REASON THAT THEY USED TO
COME RESCUE BUT IF WE WANT TO
TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS --
THAT THE I RP IS FOCUSED ON FOR
A USING THE COMMERCE WE KNOW
MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO THAT AND
DOM STARTING THAT CONVERSATION I
THINK WE'RE WHERE WERE.
WE HAVE TO SEPARATE --
DISCUSSIONS I THINK HERE GOING
ON WHEN YOU ASKED A QUESTION AND
HAPPY TO ENGAGE INTO THAT
DISCUSSION WELL I APPRECIATE
THAT AT AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.
THAT THE GEOTHERMAL IT IS NOT
JUST PRODUCED AND ARE.
IMPERIAL COUNTY THERE'S IN
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THERE'S
PRODUCTION AS WELL SOME I
DISTRICTS OF THIS ISN'T ABOUT
YOU KNOW THIS IS JUST ABOUT
THESE BROADER REGIONAL ISSUES
[inaudible]
I AND I I YOU KNOW.
I'M GONNA STRUGGLE TO SUPPORT
THIS BILL IN WITHOUT A VISA
POTENTIAL INTO.
OF CONVERSATION ABOUT THE BILL
AND IF YOU IF YOU'RE NOT OVER
NOT A TOTALLY RESPECT THAT.
BUT I JUST WANT.
TO BUT THAT HEALTHCARE SO I'M
VERY OPEN AS I MENTIONED I THINK
IT SAY --
PARALLEL DISCUSSION THAT WE CAN
HAVE.
I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT --
THE NEW GUILT THERE MORE
POTENTIAL THAT IS NOT IN THE BAY
AREA.
AND I IT ISN'T IN OTHER PARTS OF
THE STATE.
RIGHT THE NEW GEOTHERMAL --
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT
WOULD BE USING THE CAL VIRAL
SCREEN MODEL --
ISN'T SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA I MEAN
WE HAVE HAD A CONVERSATION
EMPIRE COMMITTEES WHERE --
FOLKS HAVE SAID.
YOU KNOW WE SHOULD BE MAKING
SURE THAT THE GEOTHERMAL --
IS DEVELOPED ACROSS THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
MY RESPONSE WAS YOU POINT TO ME
WHERE ELSE --
THERE MAY BE THE POTENTIAL.
OF DEVELOPING GEOTHERMAL AND
THERE AREN'T TOO MANY OTHER
PLACES WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE
OF THE FOLKS WHO TESTIFIED HERE
TODAY WHICH IS THE EXISTING.
AND THE POTENTIAL NEW
DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS IN.
ARE DISTRICT AND THE CALAVERAS
SCREEN THAT IS NOT A PERFECT
TOOL.
IN OUR DISTRICT EITHER BUT IT
SURE THE GOT DISPROPORTIONATE
IMPACTS THAT THAT WE SEE --
RELATED TO THE ENVIRONMENT SO
BUT IF THEY'RE ALL A FALL
EFFECTS CORRECT THAT ALL OF THE
NEW POTENTIAL IS IN --
DID YOU KNOW THAT SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA BEN DON'T WHY DO YOU
EVEN NEED HOMEBUYER SCREEN IN
THIS BILL BECAUSE IT IF THERE'S
NO POTENTIAL ELSEWHERE.
THAN TALKING TO HOW ARE YOU CAN
GET THERE WITH AL.
PUTTING DOWN VIRUS GREEN AND
FRAUGHT FOR ME I KNOW FOR OTHERS
IT'S THE BROADER ISSUE THAT WE
JUST GET USED TO SEEING
CALAVERAS GREEN AS THE DEFAULT
FORMULA SO IS A REAL SUPPORT
RESPONSE THE I RP AND THEIR
ENERGY PLANNING PROCESS.
IS THE CALAVERAS GREEK AND WE'VE
JUST OUTLINED THE POLICY WITH
THEIR PROCESS.
AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
ACCOMPLISH HERE.
A NEEDS TO BE ALIGNED WITH THE
HIGHER PEAK [inaudible]
THERE.
WHAT AND THEN THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR AND AND FOR MANY YEARS
I'VE BEEN?
THIS NAME AND SUPPORTING YOUR
EFFORTS WITH THE SOLVENCY IN THE
TRIO THOROUGH INITIATIVES THAT
HAVE BEEN --
IF YOU BROUGHT FORWARD IN THE
PAST AND AND WITH THAT IN AN I
HAVE.
TO WE HEAR THAT EXPRESSION SWIM
SO OFTEN ALIGN MY COMMENTS WITH
THAT I I JUST.
I HAVE TO TWO YEARS WE'VE BEEN
STRUGGLING WITH THIS ISSUE OF
ENVIRONMENT AND THE POLICY I
THINK IS OUTSTANDING AND I THINK
WE NEED TO SUPPORT AS I HAVE IN
THE PAST WITH.
SENATOR HUESOS EFFORTS WITH THE
GEOTHERMAL.
INITIATIVES IN THE SALTON SEA
AND WE NEED TO GET THE ECONOMIC.
VITALITY AND THE SUPPORT IN THE
STRENGTH BROUGHT TO THAT
COMMUNITY.
BUT THE STRUGGLE I HAVE IS AGAIN
WITH THE VIRUS SCREEN AND THAT
THE DEFINITION AS IT AS IT
APPLIES.
GRANTED IN AND SENATOR WIENER
ASKED THE QUESTION THAT I WAS
GOING TO WHICH WAS THE LAST ONE
WHY.
WE KNOW THE AREA IS
DISADVANTAGED --
HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE THE
GEOTHERMAL OF THEIR BUT
EXCLUDING OTHER AREAS THAT MAY
POTENTIALLY IN THE FUTURE COME
UP THAT WOULD APPLY OUTSIDE OF
THAT SO.
I I GUESS THE THE ISSUE OF THE
AT LEAST THAT'S THE CHALLENGE IS.
IS WHY THAT WE HAVE TO INCLUDE
THAT IN HERE I DON'T THINK THAT.
IT'S REQUIRED THAT IT BE HERE
BUT YOU'RE DOING YOUR ALIGNING
THAT I KNOW YEAH I DON'T KNOW
THAT IT'S REQUIRED THAT'S
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT THAT WE ARE
ALIGNING WITH THE EXISTING
POLICY RIGHT.
ARM.
AND I CERTAINLY WILL REITERATE
THAT VERY OPEN RIGHT --
TO HAVING THAT CONVERSATION AND
OR MODIFYING THE LANGUAGE THAT
WOULD --
ADDRESS YOUR CONCERNS I THINK IN
MY COMMENTS I I I I HOPE THAT
I'M ABLE.
TO AGAIN ADDRESS THE FACT THAT
THIS WILL.
NOT HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE REGION
THAT YOU REPRESENT.
AND THAT --
I THINK IN GOOD FAITH THAT THAT
IT BE RECOGNIZED THAT WHEN THE
CONCERNS OF THE BAY AREA.
HAVE BEEN RAISED AS RELATES TO
THE CALAVERAS SCREEN --
POLICY HAS MOVED FORWARD --
AS RECENT AS THE PROP SIXTY PARK
BOND.
THAT PER THE REQUEST OF THE BAY
AREA CAUCUS WE DID NOT USE THE
CALAVERAS GREEN DEFINITION.
ARM AND SO YOU HAVE MY
COMMITMENT --
IT'D BE ABLE --
TO ENGAGE IN THIS CONVERSATION
AND IF IT IS A MUST THAT IT BE
CHANGED HERE WE CERTAINLY ARE
OPEN TO THAT.
I WILL ALSO SAY THAT WHEN THE
CONCERNED ABOUT WHERE
INVESTMENTS --
HAVE BEEN MADE AS A RELATES --
TO HOW THE CALAVERAS GREEN HAS
BEEN UTILIZED WE AUTHORED AB
FIFTEEN FIFTY WITH JIMMY GOMES.
TO EXPAND ITS REACH.
ARM I CAN TELL YOU THAT.
MOST OF THE CONVERSATION WHEN IT
COMES TO THE CALAVERAS SCREEN.
WHETHER BE IN THE BAY AREA.
AS RECENT AS LOS ANGELES OR EVEN
OUR AREA HAS BEEN ABOUT WHERE
INVESTMENT DOLLARS FROM THE GIGI
R. F. HAVE GONE [inaudible]
AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT --
YOUR AREA ALONG WITH LOS ANGELES
AND SEVERAL OTHERS.
HAVE DONE QUITE WELL.
HAVE DONE QUITE WELL --
EVEN WHEN THE CALAVERAS --
ISN'T COMPLETELY APPLICABLE ARE
TO THE REGION.
AND WE HAVE THE DATA TO
DEMONSTRATE THAT BUT THAT BEING
SAID I I TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS TO
HEART.
AND DATA IF IT'S NOT A
REQUIREMENT TO AND MAYBE SOMEONE
HERE CAN HELP US --
UNDERSTAND IF IT IS OR IT ISN'T
MORE THAN AMENABLE.
TO MAKING THAT CHANGE WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO HERE IS ALIGNED.
STAY POLICY WITH WHAT'S ALREADY
BEEN YOUR LIES IN THE I RP --
ENERGY PLANNING PROCESS.
AND AND AS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF
THE DISTRICT THAT ENCOMPASSES
THE ENTIRE BORDER I TELL YOU.
THAT --
CALABAR SCREEN HAS NOT BEEN
FRIENDLY. TO THE BORDER AREA
BECAUSE OF THE DYNAMICS OF THE
BORDER AND OUR INABILITY TO
MEASURE AIR QUALITY UNDER
CERTAIN PARTS OF THE BORDER.
WELL WE HAVE --
IMAGINE YOU HAVE.
MILLIONS OF OF CARS QUEUING AT
THE BORDER FOR YOU.
FOR IN IN THE YEARS.
LENGTH OF TIME.
AND THAT IS NOT ACCOUNTED FOR
UNDER CALAVERAS RING BUT YET.
SOME OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS IN MY
DISTRICT ARE THE MOST IMPACTED
BY POOR AIR QUALITY.
IN THE COUNTRY.
AND I I'D OUTPUT YOUR REGION
AGAINST MINE IN ERMS OF WHO HAS
THE HIGHEST ASTHMA RATES.
AND THE HIGHEST --
AIR QUALITY IMPACTS IN THE STATE
AND THAT'S SOMETHING I MEAN IT
IF WE'RE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT
IMPROVING AIR QUALITY.
THOSE INVESTMENTS NEED TO MAKE
IN THE AREA SAID HARPER WORSE
IMPACTED SO BE [inaudible]
A THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT
WE'RE DEALING WITH.
IN IN MINAKO THE WORDS WERE NOT
WHEN I HAPPY THERE'S WHAT I'M
TRYING TO SAY AND AND IT'S HARD.
TO STOP MOVING FORWARD ON ON ON
ON A VERY PART POLICIES USE THAT
AS I WAS A AS A REASON NOT TO
MOVE FORWARD I HOPE WE CAN WE
SORT OUT THOSE DIFFERENCES THAT
YOU HAVE.
WITH THIS ITEM THAT WE HAVE
ANYONE ELSE IN THE COMMITTEE
[inaudible]
DID --
ANYONE WANT A PROPOSED MOTION AT
LEAST.
FOR PURPOSES OF CERTAIN SO.
FEDERAL CUANDO LAS TRITE.
IF IS WARM AND AND BEEN OVER
EAGER HERE.
I YOU WANT ME CLOSING COMMENTS.
THANK YOU SENATE RIGHT I WOULD
LIKE TO JUST W. LEND A MENTOR TO
A FIVE ADVANCE TO QUESTIONS FOR
COLLEAGUES FROM YOU KNOW THE BAY
AREA -- AND
IF SO I SPECTER ASKED FOR YOUR
SUPPORT TO MOVE THIS SUPPORT
COMPETITION FORWARD.
ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT YOU KNOW I
OFTENTIMES WE HEAR.
ABOUT A DIVERSE PORTFOLIO.
AND THAT THAT QUITE FRANKLY
DOESN'T EXIST --
WE OFTEN HEAR THE TERMS WE
CANNOT PICK WINNERS AND LOSERS.
I THINK THAT DECISION WAS MADE A
LONG TIME AGO ALREADY.
CLEARLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
PORTFOLIO.
AND WHO HAS BEEN ABLE TO PROCURE
AND DEVELOP AND WHO HAS.
AND SO HERE WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO TRULY DIVERSIFIED
PORTFOLIO.
AND DO IT IN A WAY IN WHICH WE
WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS.
A LONG LIST OF CO BENEFITS --
NOT ONLY THAT ALIGN WITH THE
STATE'S GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF
EMISSION REDUCTIONS IN CLEAN
ENERGY PROCUREMENT.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME BEING ABLE
TO ADDRESS ENVIRONMENTAL
CONCERNS --
THAT ARE VERY RELEVANT TO A
REGION THAT WHAT YOU AND I
REPRESENT.
SO I HOPE THAT THAT THAT'S BEEN
THE MESSAGE THAT HAS RESONATED
IN THIS CONVERSATION TODAY.
AND RESPECTFULLY ASK ABOUT YOUR
SUPPORT AS WELL AS PART OF OUR
MAKEUP CAUCUS A COLLEAGUES HERE
ON THIS COMMITTEE.

CALIFORNIANS.
BROADBAND ACCESS IS A VITAL --
IMPORTANCE TO THE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.

THROUGHOUT THE STATE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ARE AN IMPORTANT
PARTNER.

BENEFITS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO
EVERYONE.
CALIFORNIA LAW CURRENTLY
AUTHORIZES MUNICIPAL UTILITY
DISTRICTS AND PUBLIC UTILITY
DISTRICTS TO OPERATE THEIR OWN
BROADBAND SERVICES.
BUT OTHER FORMS OF INDEPENDENT
LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAVE LIMITED
SHORTAGE TO SHOW.
STRICTLY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FROM
BUILDING OUT THEIR OWN HIGH
SPEED NETWORKS.
IT'S COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO
CLOSING CALIFORNIA'S DIGITAL
DIVIDE ESPECIALLY IN RURAL AREAS
WERE ONLY 43% OF THE POPULATION.

OF THE ANALYSIS --
WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH YOUR
STAFF AND I'M ACCEPTING THE
MODIFIED VERSION OF AMENDMENT --
ONE I'D LIKE TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR WORKING WITH
MY OFFICE.
AB TWENTY THREE FORTY SIX WILL
REQUIRE THE CALIFORNIA.
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION TO
AUTHORIZE ELECTRICAL AND GAS
CORPORATIONS. TO STAB WHICH
WILDFIRE WILDFIRE EXPENSE MEMBER
IN THEM ACCOUNTS ARE REMISS.
TRACK COSTS RELATING TO THE
CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES ON AN
ONGOING BASIS BEGINNING IN.
TWENTY FOUR FIFTEEN THE ACT
ESTABLISHES AN ACCOUNT AND THAT
AND ACCOUNT AND RECORD TO COUNT.
IN A RECORDING ACCOUNT.
IT DOES NOT AUTHORIZE --
RECOVERY IN RATES UTILITY OR GAS
CORPORATION WOULD STILL NEED TO
SUBMIT A SEPARATE APPLICATION.
CPUC FOR ANY COST RECOVERY.
THE CPUC RETAINS FULL DISCLOSURE

YOU'RE OKAY I JUST WANT TO GAUGE

BRIEFLY.
GAP INSURANCE SENATORS MY NAMES
CONOR FLYING AGAIN I'M A SENIOR
ATTORNEY WITH SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA EDISON.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
EXPRESS OUR STRONG SUPPORT FOR
AB.
TWENTY THREE FORTY SIX FOLLOWING
LAST YEAR'S CATASTROPHIC
WILDFIRES WE AGREE THE STATE OUR
STATE MUST THINK DIFFERENTLY.
ABOUT HOW WE MOVE FORWARD AND
DEVELOP CLEAR AND COMPREHENSIVE
POLICY SOLUTIONS ADDRESSING.
ARE INCREASING WILDFIRE RISK.
WE THINK AB TWENTY THREE FORTY
SIX IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS
EFFORT.
THE BILL WOULD PRESERVE THE
COMMISSION'S JURISDICTION. TO
CONSIDER WHETHER TO ALLOW
UTILITIES TO RECOVER UNFORESEEN
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRES.
IMPORTANTLY AB TWENTY THREE
FORTY SIX WERE NOT A TITLE THE
UTILITY TO RECOVER ANY COSTS.
THE ONLY RECORD SUCH COSTS FOR
FUTURE COMMISSION REVIEW AND AND
THAT'S IT.
THIS IS NEEDED BECAUSE WITH
CERTAIN EXCEPTIONS.
INVESTOR OWNED UTILITIES
GENERALLY ARE LIMITED RECOVERING
ONLY WHAT THE COMMISSION
AUTHORIZES IN ADVANCE IN A
GENERAL RATE CASE.
BASED ON A FORECAST OF COSTS.
BUT SOME COST CAN'T BE RELIABLY
FORECAST.
AND THE TRADITIONAL WAY OF
HANDLING UNANTICIPATED COSTS IS
TO ESTABLISH A MEMORANDUM
ACCOUNT.
THE TRACK EXPENSES FOR REVIEW IN
A LATER COST RECOVERY PROCEEDING
IT'S TRANSPARENT AND OPEN TO
STAKEHOLDER REVIEW. ONE EXAMPLE
IS THAT CATASTROPHIC EVENT
MEMORANDUM A COUNTER SEEM ON
THIS ACCOUNT ENABLES UTILITIES
TO RECORD COSTS. FOR REPAIRING
EQUIPMENT AND RESTORING ELECTRIC
SERVICE FOLLOWING MAJOR.
CATASTROPHIC EVENTS IS
IDENTIFIED BY THE GOVERNOR.
HERE AB TWENTY THREE FORTY SIX
WOULD EXTEND THE SAME PROCEDURE
TO RECORD WHILE FIRE RELATED
COSTS BEYOND REPAIRING
INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND RESTORING SERVICE.
THESE INCLUDE INSURANCE PREMIUMS
LEGAL FEES INCURRED DEFENDING
LAWSUITS IN ANY SETTLEMENTS ARE
JUDGMENTS.
AND ALSO INCLUDED WOULD BE ANY
INCREMENTAL COST FOR FURTHER
HARDENING CRITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE AGAINST
INCREASING WHILE FAR THREAT.
AND ENHANCE VEGETATION
MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES NOT
PREVIOUSLY CONSIDERED.
IN A RAPE CASE.
CURRENTLY THERE'S NO STANDING
ACCOUNT TO RECORD SUCH COSTS
EVEN THOUGH THEY RESULT FROM
SIMILAR CATASTROPHIC EVENTS IS
COVERED BY THE SEEM.
AB TWENTY THREE FORTY SIX
RIGHTLY FILLS THE SCRIBBLE OUT
AND IS NO REGRETS APPROACH.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY HERE TODAY AND WHAT
SORT OF DRESSING AND IF YOU
THINK YOU AYE SPEAKERS IN
SUPPORT IF YOU COULD JUST COME
OUT TO THE MY CAN.
SAY YOUR NAME YOUR POSITION.
NOW GO SPEAKERS IN OPPOSITION.
JUST VERY QUICKLY A CLUSTER
HERNANDEZ ON BEHALF OF TURNOVER
THINK THE AUTHOR FOR THE ONGOING
DISCUSSIONS THAT WE'VE BEEN
HAVING.
A MOUSE UNDERSTAND SOME MEMBERS
ARE COMING WILL BE REVIEWING
THOSE AND OUT THE FOLLOWING UP
WITH THE OTHERS OFFICE ONCE WE
HAVE A CHANCE.
THANK YOU --
COMMITTEE.
THANK YOU ISSUE CHAIR OF YOU
KNOW I GUESS.
AND ASSEMBLY MEMBER QUIRK I I
ALWAYS.
ADMIRE THE WORK YOU DO --
IN THIS BUILDING OF THE ONE
CONCERN I HAVE IS THE ISSUE OF
INCLUDING MITIGATION INTO THE WE
IN THE PROCESS AND I JUST FIND
THAT PROBLEMATIC --
AND OTHERS OF IT'S AMENDMENTS I
I HAVEN'T SEEN THEM DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY SAYBUT NO MITIGATION
COSTS ARE FORESEEABLE THEIR FOR
CASTABLE.
A AND IN THE WINTER SHOULD BE
USED. TO TO REALLY ACCOUNT FOR
UNFORESEEABLE.
EXPENSES RESULTING FROM A WIRE
WILD WILDFIRE SO I GUESS CAN YOU
EXPLAIN WHY.
THEY WOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE
UIMA WHEN IT IS BEST TO A FIRE
LEAVE THAT TO MY EXPERT.
I KNOW THAT FEELING.
HAVING EXPERTS AROUND --
THANK YOU SARAH HELL AYE I DO
UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN.
WE DO IN OUR RATE CASE FORECASTS --
PREDICT OR FORECAST CERTAIN
ACTIVITIES VEGETATION MANAGEMENT.
PAUL REPLACEMENT PROGRAMS --
ACTIVITIES THAT WE PERFORM TO
ACCOUNT FOR INCREASING WILDFIRE
RISK OUR POLL REPLACEMENT
PROGRAM FOR EXAMPLE TARGETS
REPLACING POLES ARE --
INSPECTING THEM IN HIGH FIRE
AREAS AND THAT'S BEEN A PRIORITY
FOR US --
HOWEVER THE FOR US ARE TWENTY
EIGHTEEN GENERATE CASE.
WAS BASED ON THE TWENTY SIXTEEN
FORECASTS.
AND IT REALLY DID NOT ACCOUNT
FOR THE THE DEVASTATING --
TWENTY SEVENTEEN YEAR OF
WILDFIRES THAT THAT WE
EXPERIENCED.
AND IT HAS I THINK --
CAUSED US TO RETHINK.
WHAT WE MIGHT DO THAT IN TERMS
OF ENHANCING ARE GREAT HARDING
EFFORTS --
THIS COULD BE DEPLOYING COVERED
CONDUCTOR MORE BROADLY --
OTHER MORE.
ADVANCED --
AUTOMATIC RE CLOSERS.
DIFFERENT THINGS THAT I THINK
COULD GO --
A LONG WAY TOWARDS TOWARDS
ADDRESSING THIS INCREASING RISK
THAT JUST WERE NOT ACCOUNTED.
FOR WHEN WE HAD PREVIOUSLY DONE
RG R. C. FORECAST.
AND BECAUSE THE RECORD HAS
CLOSED IN OUR EIGHTEEN GRC WE
WILL NOT HAVE ANOTHER GRC UNTIL.
TWENTY TWENTY ONE AND SO THE
QUESTION IS IF WE WANT TO PURSUE
THESE ENHANCED MEASURES.
AND TAKE ON POTENTIALLY
SUBSTANTIAL --
INCREMENTAL COSTS ASSOCIATED
WITH THEM.
WHERE WHERE WITH THOSE COSTS GO --
DO WE TRY TO MANAGE THEM WITHIN
WHATEVER OUR AUTHORIZED RATES
MIGHT BE.
COMING OUT OF THE TWENTY
EIGHTEEN GRC.
COULD WE JUST HAVE A MEMORANDUM
ACCOUNT.
THAT IS JUST SIMPLY A A PLACE
WHERE WE CAN RECORD THOSE COSTS --
THOUGH IN THE UIMA AND THEN
SUBMIT THEM LATER FOR REVIEW.
AND IT WOULD MAKE SENSE BECAUSE
WHAT WE CAN DO AND THEN DO.
IN OUR WE MY APPLICATION IS IS
WE WE WOULD TRACK THOSE COSTS IN
A SEPARATE ACCOUNT [inaudible]
ONCE STAT.
INCREMENTAL STRATEGIES DEVELOPED
WE GET THEM LATER SUBMIT
ESSENTIALLY WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
AND ARE ARE REVISED PLAN IF YOU
WILL. TO THE COMMISSION AND THE
COMMISSION COULD REVIEW IT AND
SAY YES IN THE WAKE OF THIS YOU
KNOW THESE ACTIVITIES WERE
REASONABLE.
OTHERS THEY CAN ASK QUESTIONS
ABOUT BUT BUT AT LEAST IT'S ALL
GOING TO BE PRESENTED --
POTENTIALLY IN A IN A SINGLE
FILING.
THE COMMISSION COULD THEN REVIEW
ANOTHER COSTS WOULD GO INTO
RATES.
UNTIL THE COMMISSION ACTUALLY
WOULD APPROVE THEM.
WE ARE ARE THERE OPPORTUNITIES
TODAY TO TO OPEN ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
RATHER THAN DO IT THROUGH THE
WINTER AS FAR IT WE LOOKED AT
EXISTING ACCOUNT SENATOR --
LIKE FOR EXAMPLE THE THE SCENE.
THERE ARE OTHER EXISTING
MECHANISMS.
BUT THEY ALL HAVE LIMITATIONS IN
TERMS OF WHEN YOU CAN USE THEM
YOU KNOW THE THINGS YOU HAVE TO
THINK ABOUT ARE WHEN YOU'RE
CONSIDERING A MEMO ACCOUNT FOR
ANY AVAILABLE MECHANISM IS.
WHAT IS THE WHAT OF THE TYPE OF
COSTS THAT YOU CAN PUT IN THAT
ACCOUNT?
WHAT'S THE TIMING AS TO WHEN YOU
YOU INCURRED THOSE COSTS AND
WOULD THEY EVEN BE ELIGIBLE FOR
USE IN A PARTICULAR MECHANISM.
AND THEN I THINKTHE LAST PART
WHICH IS MOST RELEVANT HERE IS
WHERE THE BREADTH THE COSTS OF
IT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT YOU
DID FOR SEE.
THAT REALLY REQUIRES A YOU KNOW-A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT IN YOUR
STRATEGIC THINKING AROUND EVENT
THAT APPLIES BEYOND JUST THE
AREA THAT WAS SPECIFICALLY
IMPACTED.
HOW MIGHT YOU RECORD THOSE COSTS
AND THEN PRESENT THEM FOR SORT
OF A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW?
AND THERE WE AS EXISTING TODAY.
THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO TO POCKET
THOSE COSTS AND AND PRESENT THEM
TO THE COMMISSION.
WHO INVESTIGATED THE GENERAL WHO
PGD IF I COULD ASK HIM A
QUESTION RELATED TO THE RECENT
FIRES OF LAST YEAR AND?
I HAVE NO IS AN OUTCOME OF THOSE
FIRES PGD HAS CHANGED.
MANY OF THEIR PROTOCOLS AND
POLICIES RELATED [inaudible]
TO EITHER WHETHER.
STATIONS Y. THERE.
ACCUMULATION --
THEY'VE MADE SOME MAJOR.
SHIFTS IN THE WAY THEY DO
BUSINESS.
WITH REGARDS.
TO POTENTIAL WILDIRE
CIRCUMSTANCES.
HOW YOU ACCOUNTING FOR THOSE
COSTS DAY?
AND THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION --
I'LL START BY SAYING THAT LIKE
MY COLLEAGUE MEDICINE WE HAVE
OUR LAST GENERAL RATE THEY'RE
NOT CURRENTLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN
THE RATES THAT WE HAVE.
RPG KNEES LAST GENERAL RATE CASE
WAS BASED ON A TWENTY WAS IN
TWENTY SEVENTEEN AND THAT WAS
BASED ON DATA THAT WE HAD FROM.
TWENTY FIFTEEN AND WE WILL BE
FILING OUR NEXT GENERATE QUE
SHORTLY WHICH BEFORE TWENTY
TWENTY YEAR SO TO THE EXTENT
THAT WE'VE MADE SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES THOSE ARE NOT ACCOUNTED
FOR IN OUR CURRENT RATES AND WE
WOULD ALSO BENEFIT FOR THE SAME
REASONS THAT MY COLLEAGUE FROM
EDISON JUST MENTION.
WOULD ALSO BENEFIT FROM HAVING A
STANDING ACCOUNT SIMPLY TACK
THEM AND ASKED THE COMMISSION TO
REVIEW THOSE ACTIVITIES IN THOSE
COSTS A LATER DATE.
SO THE COST IF YOU'VE INCURRED
SINCE THE FIRES RELATED TO THIS
MITIGATION.
EFFORTS FOR THE NEXT FIRE --
THOSE ARE NOT THOSE ARE JUST
ACCOUNTED NOW SEPARATELY THAT
WILL BE INCLUDED IN THAT NEXT
RATE CASE.
YOU NOT ESTABLISHED ANOTHER
ACCOUNT FOR THEM THAT YOU CAN
THEN.
UTILIZED FOR REIMBURSEMENT TOP
TO MY KNOWLEDGE NO TO MY
KNOWLEDGE THE ACCOUNT THAT WE'VE
ESTABLISHED IN THE PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSION WHICH STATE
THAT THE PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION TOOK AN IMPORTANT
STEP IN IMPROVING P. GENIES
APPLICATION FOR WE MY LAST WEEK.
INCLUDE --
THIS COST CATEGORY FOR WILD FIRE
MITIGATION IT WAS LIMITED TO THE
OTHER COST TYPES OF WHICH MY
COLLEGE OF MEDICINE MENTIONED A
WHICH WERE CLAIMS COST
LITIGATION COSTS INSURANCE
PREMIUMS.
I THINK I JUST THEM STRUGGLING
WITH THAT ASPECT OF IT AND DON'T
KNOW --
WOULD EXTEND IT COULD BE.
IT MISUSED BUT AND OF USED AS A
WAY TO GET AROUND THE RATE CASE
IN SOME FORM HERE.
AGAIN IS ONE OF THE THINGS
ALRIGHT SO YOU NOW ABOUT IT --
MANAGED TO THREE AND FOUR THEY
WORK.
IN THE ANALYSIS.
WHAT THE FINAL AMENDMENT SAYS
HIS IT DEFINITELY EMPHASIZES
THAT ANYTHING IN THIS IS SUBJECT
TO REVIEW AND DETERMINATION BY
THE CP YOU SEE WE THOUGHT THAT
WAS?
ALREADY CLEAR BUT WERE MAKING IT
REALLY CLEAR --
WERE ALSO MAKING SURE THAT ANY
ACTION THAT THAT IS TAKEN.
THAT IS SIMPLY ARE TRYING TO
AGREE WITH CURRENT STATE LOS
YIPPEE CPUC REGULATIONS THAT
WERE FORESEEABLE IN THE STRAIGHT
CASE.
ARE NOT INCLUDED AND FURTHERMORE
IT EXCLUDES ANY COST.
THAT IS RECOVERABLE FROM OTHER
CPUS HE COST RECOVERY MECHANISMS
INCLUDING --
SEEMA.
SHELVE THE POINT HERE IS THIS IS
STRICTLY FOR THINGS NOT COVERED
ANYWHERE ELSE AND WE'RE VERY
CLEAR THE CPUC HAS TO TAKE NONE
OF THIS. TO REIMBURSE ERA HAS TO
WILL DOES NOT HAVE TO ALLOW FOR
THIS IN THE RATES IF IT DOES NOT.
SEE IF IT'S APPROPRIATE
[inaudible]
THANK YOU CAN WE ACCEPT THAT
YOUR CLOSING COMMENT.
PLEASE THANK PROGRAM. TO LEARN
ABOUT YOUR NEXT BILL
[inaudible]
CALIFORNIA LIFELINE.
I THINK WE'VE GOT RID OF ALL
OPPOSITION NOW --
AND WE SEE THAT WE HAVE NO
AMENDMENTS PROPOSED IN THIS BILL
AS WELL SAY DID YOU HAVE CITY
AMENDED HERE.
ON PAGE SIX OF THE ANALYSIS IS
TAKEN WHICH WOULD ELIMINATE THE
PORT FREEZE [inaudible]
OKAY.
AND WITHOUT I THINK WE'VE
ELIMINATED WITH THE ANY
OBJECTIONS TO THE BILL.
I AB TWENTY SIX FIFTEEN TO IT'S
SIMPLY IMPROVE THE
ADMINISTRATION CALIFORNIA
LIFELINE PROGRAM.
BY MAKING IT EASIER FOR ELIGIBLE
CUSTOMERS TO ENROLL IN
RECERTIFIED THEIR ELIGIBILITY IN
THE PROGRAM.
CURRENTLY THE PROGRAM ONLY HAS A
34% PARTICIPATION RATE.
AND THE LIFELINE IN OTHER WORDS
IS AVAILABLE TO TWICE AS MANY
PEOPLE WHO WERE TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF IT OF BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST
TRYING TO MAKE IT EASIER TO
ENROLL AND RENEW.
BECAUSE OF THE AMENDMENT WOULD
BE TO PASS AS A MAN.

SIX AB TWENTY SIX NINETY THREE
BY SOMEONE WHO WOULD.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER CHAIR
AND MEMBERS.
I WOULD FIRST LIKE --
TO NEXSTAR BY ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEE SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS
AND TAKING THEIR STAFF FOR THIS
FOR THEIR WORK ON THIS BILL
APPRECIATED.
IN THE AFT IN THE AFTERMATH OF
THE DEVASTATING FIRES THAT
RAVAGED. TO CALIFORNIA LATE TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN THE STATE IN
THE P. YOU SEE.
HAVE FOCUSED HEAVILY ON
UTILITIES RESPONSE TO THE
MASSIVE DESTRUCTION HOWEVER
LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT THE IMPACT
OF THESE DISASTERS HAVE HAD ON
TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS.
OR HOW TO MAKE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES
HAVE RESPONDED.
WHILE WE AGREE THAT CPUC HAS THE
AUTHORITY TO COLLECT THE
INFORMATION SPECIFIED IN THE
BILL CPC IS NOT REQUIRED. TO
PRODUCE A REPORT AND TO DATE THE
CPUC HAS NEVER PRODUCED SUCH A
REPORT.
BEEN LEFT IN THE DARK WHEN IT
COMES TO UNDERSTANDING WIN AND
WHAT WILL BE USED TO REBUILD THE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK IN
THE NORTH BACK.
WE HAVE NO IDEA WHEN OR IF
COMPANIES THAT PUT TEMPORARY
FIXES IN PLACE INTEND TO FULLY
RESTORE THE NETWORK TO CUSTOMERS
ORIGINALLY AGREED.
TO ARE PAYING FOR AND RELYING ON
WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION THERE
IS NO WAY TO ENSURE THAT
RESIDENTS WILL HAVE AT A MINIMUM.
THE SAME OR IMPROVED ACCESS TO A
RELIABLE NOW ON OCTOBER TENTH
THE HUMBLE COUNTY SHERIFF AT
QUITMAN LOCAL EMERGENCY IN MY
DISTRICT DUE TO WIDESPREAD PHONE
SERVICE FAILURES CAUSED BY THE
NORTH BAY FIRES.
EVEN THOUGH THE FIRES WERE NOT
IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY.
THE OUTAGES SIGNIFICANTLY
IMPACTED EMERGENCY SERVICES AND
GOVERNMENT PRIVATE AGENCIES TO
PROVIDE ESSENTIAL PUBLIC
SERVICES.
THERE IS STRONG PUBLIC INTEREST
IN ENSURING THAT NEWER EQUIPMENT
RESULTS IN IMPROVED AND MORE
RESILIENT SERVICES.
AB TWENTY SIX NINETY THREE WOULD
REQUIRE THE CPUC TO REPORT TO
THE APPROPRIATE POLICY COMMITTEE
OF THE LEGISLATURE.
THE IMPACT OF A NATURAL DISASTER
ON STATES COMMUNICATION
TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK.
AND THE RESPONSE OF
TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES.
LET ME BE VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT
THIS BILL DOES NOT.
TO THE BILL WOULD NOT REQUIRE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES TO
DIVULGE INFORMATION THAT WOULD
BE HARMFUL TO SECURITY SUCH AS
DISCLOSURE OF ADDRESSES.
PROPOSED NETWORK FACILITY
OPERATE LOCATIONS ARE ITEMIZED
LIST OF EQUIPMENT TO PLAY.
IN FACT I'M TAKING AMENDMENTS IN
THIS COMMITTEE TO CLARIFY THAT
THE CPUC MAY WITHHOLD ANY
INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE DEEMED
TO POSE A SECURITY THREAT.
THIS LANGUAGE SUGGEST ABOUT THE
COMMITTEES LIFTED DIRECTLY FROM
EXISTING CPUC CODE.
ADDITIONALLY THE BILL WILL NOT
MANDATE REAL TIME COLLECTION OF
DATA SPECIFIED IN THE REPORT.
AGAIN I REITERATE THE CPUC
ALREADY HAS THE AUTHORITY
REQUEST THIS INFORMATION REPORT
AT THE BILL SIMPLY REQUIRING
THEM TO USE THAT AUTHORITY.
HERE TESTIFYING SUPPORT IN
ANSWER QUESTIONS ARE CHRISTINE
MAY LIEU ON BEHALF OF TURN AND
ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR HAND HERNANDEZ
ON BEHALF OF CW A NINE GOOD
AFTERNOON GOOD AFTERNOON%
THINKING.
THAT AFTERNOON THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR HAVING ME --
THE QUICK THIS BILL IS INTENDED
TO GIVE SOME DATA TO THIS TO
POLICY RELEVANT POLICY
COMMITTEES ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS
AFTER THE TV CAMERAS WALK AWAY
FROM A NATURAL DESIRE.
THE COMMUNITY IS LEFT TO REBUILD
AND WHEN THEY COME SPECIFICALLY
TO COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES.
HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN AND HOW CAN
WE KEEP TRACK OF HOW THAT IS
HAPPENING?
THIS REPORT ONLY COVERS TWO
THINGS BUT THEY ARE BOTH
CRITICAL THEY ARE BOTH CRITICAL
TO BOTH PUBLIC SAFETY AND
CALIFORNIA'S ECONOMY.
FIRST TO THE COMMISSION MUST
GATHER DATA AND REPORT THE
EXTENT OF THE DAMAGES TO THE
CURRENT TELECOMMUNICATIONS
INFRASTRUCTURE AND FACILITIES.
IN THE FACE OF A NATURAL
DISASTER AND ONLY WHERE THE
GOVERNMENT GOVERNOR HAS DECLARED
A NATURAL DISASTER.
SO THE INSTANCES OF REPORTING
ARE LIMITED TO THAT SO --
THIS IS BOTH RESULTING IN
OUTAGES FOR END USERS AND
IMPORTANTLY OUTAGES TO THE NINE
ONE ONE CAPABILITIES.
BY LOOKING AT THIS REPORT WE
BELIEVE PUBLIC SAFETY EXPERTS
AND EMERGENCY RESPONDERS SHOULD
BE ABLE TO VENN PLAN FOR FUTURE
OUTAGES OR ANTICIPATE FUTURE
OUTAGES BASED ON THE TYPE AND
SEVERITY OF NATURAL DISASTERS
AND NETWORKING ENGINEER PLANNERS.
COULD CONSIDER REDUNDANCY AND
RESILIENCY EXPERIENCES BY
MATCHING THE OUTAGES EXPIRY SAYS
WITH THE TYPE OF NATURAL
DISASTER THAT THIS REPORT MIGHT
COVER.
SECOND THE REPORT WILL INCLUDE
THE PLANS OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS
CARRIERS FOR RESTORING SERVICE
BOTH IN THE SHORT TERM AND
REBUILDING FACILITIES IN THE
LONG TERM.
THIS IS A CRITICAL PIECE BECAUSE
UNFORTUNATELY A MAJOR DISASTER
AS WE SAW ON TWENTY SEVENTEEN
MAY REQUIRE A TELECOMMUNICATIONS
COMPANY TO HAVE TO COMPLETELY
REBUILD FACILITIES MAKING ANY
EXISTING MAPS DATA.
AND INFORMATION ABOUT EXISTING
FACILITIES WHICH THE COMMISSION
STAFF AND FIRST RESPONDERS DO
RELY ON TODAY --
UNRELIABLE AT BEST AND POSSIBLY
USELESS --
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE
COMMISSION AND OTHER STATE
AGENCIES KNOW WHAT FACILITIES
ARE AVAILABLE AND HOW CUSTOMERS
ARE BEING SERVED THIS DECISION
NOT ONLY DIRECTLY IMPACTS FIRST
RESPONDERS OF NINE ONE ONE
SERVICE BUT ALSO END USER
CUSTOMERS [inaudible] FOR
EXAMPLE --
CUSTOMERS MAY EXPERIENCE MORE
FREQUENT POWER OUTAGES AS THE
COMMISSION HAS RECENTLY AGREED
TO ALLOW ELECTRIC UTILITIES TO
DISCONTINUE ELECTRIC SERVICE
DURING HIGH FIRE THREAT
SITUATION SUCH AS WIND EVENTS.
ESPECIALLY IN THIS IS ESPECIALLY
TRUE IN RURAL AND FORESTED AREAS.
THESE DE ENERGY DE ENTERED TO
THE STATION IN ADVANCE I'M HAVE
ALREADY IMPACTED POWER IN P.
JEANNIE EN ESTI JEANNIE
COMMUNITIES JUST IN THE PAST SIX
MONTHS.
IF THIS SAME AREA HAS BEEN
REBUILT AFTER A NATURAL DISASTER
PRIMARILY RELYING ON FACILITIES
THAT RELY ON EXTERNAL POWER.
THESE CUSTOMERS IN THOSE AREAS
MAY NOT ONLY LOSE THEIR ELECTRIC
SERVICE THEY MAY ALSO LOSE THEIR
PHONE SERVICE MAKING THEM
VULNERABLE TO NOT.
RECEIVING EMERGENCY ALERTS OR
BEING ABLE TO CALL OUT FOR HELP.
WITH THIS REPORT THE COMMISSION
ANOTHER LOCAL AND COUNTY
AGENCIES CAN'T TRACK THE
DEPLOYMENT OF THESE REPLACEMENT
FACILITIES TO DETERMINE WHICH
COMMUNITIES MAY BE AT HIGHER
RISK OF LOSING PHONE SERVICE
DURING AN EMERGENCY.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU
ALL HAVE THE THAT YOU ARE
CONFIDENT THAT YOUR
CONSTITUENCIES ALL HAVE ACCESS
TO SAFE AND RELIABLE SERVICE.
THAT NO ONE IS LEFT BEHIND NO
ONE WILL BE A VICTIM TWICE BOTH
OF THE NATURAL DISASTER AND THEN
BE AT RISK OF LOSING.
THEIR PHONE SERVICE [inaudible]
ROLL [inaudible]
HUESO.
WAS SO HERE MORALE HERE AROUND
HERE BRADFORD HE CANNELLA

QUORUM.
IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAK.
YEAH JUST BRIEFLY MISTER
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS ARE NOT YOUR
HERNANDEZ ON BEHALF THE
COMMUNICATION WORKERS OF AMERICA
DISTRICT.
NINE IN STRONG SUPPORT OF THE
BILL I THINK THE AUTHOR WE'VE
BEEN WORKING WITH HIM THROUGHOUT
THE YEAR ON THIS LEGISLATION --
AND REALLY JUST WANT TO ADD THAT
THIS REALLY IS ABOUT ENSURING
THAT THERE'S INFORMATION
PROVIDED TO THE LEGISLATURE. TO
ENSURE THAT EVERYONE LIVING IN
YOUR DISTRICTS --
ARE RECONNECTED ONCE THERE IS
BEING -- A
WILDFIRE OR A MAJOR EVENT WE
WANNA MAKE SURE THAT NO
COMMUNITY NO NEIGHBORHOOD IS
LEFT BEHIND.
OUT WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO
RESTORE TO TELECOMMUNICATIONS IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN
ADDITION FOR THE COMMUNICATION
WORKERS.
OF AMERICA THEY ARE THE ONES
THAT ARE INTERACTING WITH THE
GENERAL PUBLIC THEY ARE THE ONES
I GET THE CALLS.
OR CONCERNS THAT THERE'S NO
SERVICE OR WHAT THE LONG TERM
PLANS ARE GOING TO BE THEY ARE
THE ONES THAT HAVE TO INTERACT
WITH THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
SO WE WANT TO INSURANCE IS --
THAT INFORMATION BE PROVIDED TO
THE LEGISLATURE THAT THE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS IN
CALIFORNIA WILL BE RESTORED HOW
THEY'RE BEING RESTORED AND WE
CAN HAVE CONFIDENCE --
THAT IN AT THAT EVEN AFTER
NATURAL DISASTER THAT KNOW
EVERYTHING IS BEING DONE.
POSSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT.
THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS IS
CONNECTED TO EVERYONE IN EVERY
PLACE IN CALIFORNIA.
WE HAVE ANY OTHER SPEAKERS IN
SUPPORT [inaudible]
THE BILL.
STATE YOUR NAME YOUR PROCESS.
A DIRECT A LOT OF LEGISLATING
POLITICAL DIRECTOR IN SACRAMENTO
FOR THE COMMUNICATION WORKERS OF
AMERICA AND SUPPORT MEMBERS
ASSISTANCE THANK THANK YOU THANK
YOU.
THANK YOU ANYONE ELSE. TO HAVE
SPEAKERS IN OPPOSITION
.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS JACQUI KENNY
WITH FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS OF
FRONTIER APPRECIATES AUTHORS
GOAL OF ADDRESSING FIRE SAFETY
BUT WE REGRETFULLY OPPOSE THE
BILL --
RESPECTFULLY IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT
POSITIVE PUBLIC SAFETY BENEFIT
WOULD COME FROM GENERATING MORE%
DATA COLLECTION AND MORE REPORTS%
FROM THE P. YOU SEE.
WHEN PROVIDERS ALREADY SUBMIT
NORRIS REPORTS TO THE FCC AND
COPIES TO THE P. YOU SEE?
WE PROVIDE REAL TIME
NOTIFICATIONS TO THE OFFICE OF
EMERGENCY SERVICES NINE ONE ONE
ON ANY NINE ONE ONE IMPACTING IN
COMMUNITY ISOLATION OUTAGES.
WE PROACTIVELY NOTIFY REAL TIME
P. UC STAFF INFORMALLY WHEN
FIRES AND OTHER DISASTERS ARE
CURRYING AND WE KEEP THEM
ABREAST OF DEVELOPMENTS.
AND WE RESPOND TO FORMAL DATA
REQUESTS UNDER THE P. UC'S
CURRENT AUTHORITY THAT STAFF MAY
INITIATE --
AS THEY DID AFTER THE TWENTY
SEVENTEEN FIRES --
MOREOVER DURING THESE DISASTERS
WE ALSO COORDINATE WITH THE SI
WE A THE CALIFORNIA UTILITIES
EMERGENCY ASSOCIATION WE
COLLABORATE WITH OTHER UTILITIES
AND FIRST RESPONDERS TO ENSURE
PUBLIC SAFETY.
AND RESTORE IMPACTED SERVICES
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
WE ALSO ARE CURRENTLY ENGAGING
IN SEVERAL P. UC PENDING RULE
MAKINGS RELATED FIRES IN
EMERGENCY DISASTER RESPONSE
INCLUDING ROLE MAKING EIGHTEEN
OH THREE DASH O. O..
ONE WHICH ADDRESSES MANY ISSUES
THAT OVERLAP THIS BILL.
AB TWENTY SIX NINETY THING
THREES TRIGGER OF NEW DATA
COLLECTION EVERY TIME THAT
GOVERNOR DECLARES AN EMERGENCY
FOR ANY REASON.
IS OVER BROAD HIGHLY COMPLEX AND
FRANKLY NOT NECESSARY.
THE CPUC CAN COLLECT DATA AT ANY
TIME WHEN THE FACTS WARRANT.
UNDER ITS CURRENT AUTHORITY.
IN FACT THE VERY PROBLEMS THE
SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WITH HAVING
A TRIGGER --
BUT THE ARE DECLARED EMERGENCY
TRIGGER A MANDATE IS ALREADY
UNDER DISCUSSION IN THE P. YOU
SEE RULE MAKING SO WE
SPECIFICALLY OBJECT TO THAT
PORTION OF THIS BILL --
MOREOVER THE REPORTING ON WHAT
INFRASTRUCTURE IS USED TO
RESTORE SERVICE TO EVERY
IMPACTED CUSTOMER OF EVERY
DECLARED EMERGENCY.
TAKES NO ACCOUNT OF THE FACT
THAT AS CARRIERS OF LAST RESORT
WE ARE REQUIRED UNDER CURRENT
LAW IF YOU SEE DECISION TO
RESTORE SERVICE TO A LEVEL THAT
MEETS THE P. UC'S DEFINITION OF
BASIC SERVICE.
AND THAT OF DECISION
SPECIFICALLY DEFINES BASIC
SERVICE TO ALLOW FOR RESTORATION
USING FACILITIES WITH ANY
TECHNOLOGY.
SO WE URGE YOU TO PLEASE PAUSE
I'M MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS
BILL AND CONSIDER THE CUMULATIVE
IMPACT OF THE MANY MANY PENDING.
A AND NEW FIRE RELATED A
DISASTER RELATED REQUIREMENTS
THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED IN AND
IMPLEMENTED.
AND REALLY THINK --
CAREFULLY ABOUT WHETHER THEY'RE
ACTUALLY INCREASING PUBLIC
SAFETY COMPARED TO THE MILLIONS
IN NEW ANNUAL COSTS.
AGAIN WE WOULD APPRECIATE
WORKING WITH THE AUTHOR IN THE
COMMITTEE STAFF AND APPRECIATE
THE TIME I'M HEARING OUR
CONCERNS BUT WE REGRETFULLY MUST
OPPOSE THIS BILL.
MISTER CHAIRMAN FIRST BERNIE
OROZCO IT CALIFORNIA CABLE AND
TELECOMMUNICATIONS ASSOCIATION
WE ARE AT THE MOMENT OFFICIALLY
OPPOSED TO THE MEASURE AS WELL.
ARE HAVING READ THE ANNOUNCES A
VERY WELL WRITTEN ANALYSIS AND
LISTEN TO THE AUTHORS
WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS.
TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES AND AL
SAYS I'M I'M NOW KINDA IN A IN A
BIG --
LOCATION SO I HAVE TO GO BACK
AND WORK WITH THE COMMITTEE WORK
WITH YASSER AND FIND OUT EXACTLY
WHAT THAT LANGUAGE SAYS I THINK
IT GOES A LONG WAY TO ADDRESS
THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE.
I THINK WHAT'S EFT FOR OUR
INDUSTRIES THAT WE STRUGGLE WITH
THE ISSUE OF HAVING IT'S MORE OF
A GOVERNANCE ISSUE HERE --
AS THE ANALYSIS SAYS THAT MY
INDUSTRY A CO WORKER HAS HAD
TOGETHER IS INFORMATION THERE'S
NOTHING FOR HAVING THAT YOU SEE
FROM GETTING THAT INFORMATION.
AND I ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING.
OUR CONCERN IS THE
CONFIDENTIALITY OF RELEASING
THAT INFORMATION BUT AGAIN THE
AMENDMENTS THAT YOU'RE
DISCUSSING WHAT ADDRESS THOSE
CONCERNS COULDN'T ONE WE ARE A
CRITICAL INFORMATION.
IF INFRASTRUCTURE AND SO UNDER
FEDERAL LAW THAT'S MUST BE
PROTECTED FROM US INTO THE
AUTHOR.
THAT HIS WILL IN THIS IS --
TO IN MAKE IT CONSISTENT WITH
FEDERAL STATUTE AND WITH CURRENT
CALIFORNIA LAW SO THAT GOES
ALONG HUESO THANK YOU A CEMENT.
AND THE OTHER CONCERN THOUGH IS
SORT OF A BUSINESS PART OF
PREFERRED.
PROPRIETARY BUSINESS INFORMATION
WHEN WE BUILD OUT THE CABLE
INDUSTRY SPENT ABOUT TWO BILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR.
UPGRADE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE YOU
KNOW EVERY EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
SO A WE ARE IN A COMPETITIVE
MARKET WHEN WE ARE BUILDING OUR
INFRASTRUCTURE WE DON'T ALWAYS
LIKE TO LET --
ARE EIGHTEEN TO YOUR VERIZON
FRIENDS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE
DOING -- I'M
SURE THEY WOULD LOVE TO KNOW SO
BUSINESS PROPRIETARY BUSINESS
INFORMATION IS ALSO CAN FOR US.
SO -- AGAIN
THAT'S A COMPETITIVE MARKET BUT
I DO BELIEVE THAT MAYBE AND
WORKING WITH THE STAFF AND WITH
THE AUTHORS OFFICE.
THAT WE MAY COME TO SOME
UNDERSTANDING BUT BACK TO THE
OVERLYING GOVERNANCE ISSUE I
THINK THE P. YOU SEE HAS THAT
AUTHORITY TODAY TO DO WHAT I
THINK YOU'RE ATTEMPTING TO
ACCOMPLISH --
AND I'M NOT SURE THIS WOULD BE
THE MOST APPROPRIATE WAY BUT I
WAS NEVER FOCUS ON THAT PIECE OF
THE BILL BECAUSE I WAS PER
CONCERN ABOUT THE PROPRIETARY
BUSINESS INFORMATION AND
POTENTIALITY.
SO AGAIN RIGHT NOW WERE OPPOSED
TO THE MEASURE --
BUT WILLING TO WORK WITH YASSER
IN THE COMMITTEE.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE BILL DIVINE WE TWO ARE
OPPOSED TO THE LEGISLATION.
OUT BUT WE APPRECIATE THE NEW
AMENDMENTS THAT ARE BEING ADDED
AND WILL BE HAPPY TO REPEAT YOUR
POSITION AND WORK WITH THE
AUTHOR OF GOING FORWARD --
HOWEVER IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW
WE ARE CARRIER OF LAST RESORT.
SO ON ANY RESTORATION EFFORTS
THAT WE MAKE FOR ANY DISASTER WE
ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO MEET OR
EXCEED THE SERVICE AND QUALITY
THAT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN IN
PLACE PRIOR TO THE DISASTER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS STEVE
CARLSON FOR CTIA THE WIRELESS
INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF WE WOULD
DIE CONCUR WITH COMMENTS MADE BY
OUR OUR COLLEAGUES --
THE PROPRIETARY BUSINESS
INFORMATION PIECE IS A HUGE PACE.
PEACE FOR COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY
LIKE WIRELESS WHO KNOWS BUT THAT
TO WIN IF WE HAVE TO REBUILD
SOMETHING IT MIGHT BE SOME BRAND
NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT MAYBE YOU
DON'T WANT SOMEBODY ELSE TO KNOW
ABOUT.%
I'M AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY A
REALLY KEY ISSUE.
I WOULD ALSO A SUGGESTS THAT THE
CPUC IS NOT SHY ABOUT ASKING FOR
INFORMATION.
MATTER FACT WE THINK THEY ABUSE
THAT PRIVILEGE A LOT MORE.
OFTEN OF BUT BUT AGAIN WITH ALL
THE EXISTING --
MEANS.
BY WHICH THEM THIS INFORMATION
IS REQUESTED WE WOULD HOPE WOULD
BE ABLE.
TO MAYBE MELD THOSE TOGETHER
RATHER THAN HAVE A A COMPLETELY
SEPARATE AT A SEPARATE WAY TO DO
THAT BUT AGAIN WITH MY WORK WITH
THE AUTHORED WE CERTAINLY
UNDERSTAND WHERE THE AUTHOR'S
COMING FROM ON THIS AND
CERTAINLY SYMPATHIZE WITH WHAT
HAPPENED IN HIS DISTRICT AND
THAT.
AND ELSEWHERE AROUND THE CAN RUN
THE COUNTRY AROUND THE STATE SO
WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH
YOU IN THE STAFF MISTER WOULD --
TO SEE IF WE CAN COME TO SOME
RESOLUTION.
I COULD HAVE YOUR IMPRINT UPON
THE KNOW ABOUT THIS BRAND I'M
WHICH TO ALIGN MYSELF WITH THE
COMMENTS OF MY COLLEAGUES AND
LOOK FOR TO WORKING WITH THE
AUTHOR AS THIS BILL MOVES
FORWARD THINKING.
IF YOU ARE GARCIA WITH PRICE AND
ALSO ONE OF THE LAND MYSELF WITH
MY COLLEAGUES BUT ALSO LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH ALL.
MARGARET GLASS YOU KNOW BEHALF
OF T. MOBILE ANOTHER SAY DITTO
[inaudible]
OKAY.
I JUST WANTED --
CLARIFY THE AMENDMENTS THAT
WE'VE POSE WITH A DO PASS AS
AMENDED --
WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS
CLARIFY THAT CPUC DE DATA
COLLECTION WILL APPLY FOR THE
DURATION.
OF EMERGENCY PROCLAMATIONS FOR
NATURAL DISASTERS AND FIRES
NUMBER ONE NUMBER.
TWO IS ENSURE THAT LONG TERM
PLANNING REPORTING WILL ONLY BE
REQUIRED AS PART OF THE ANNUAL
REPORT REQUIREMENTS [inaudible]
JOSH [inaudible]
JIM MACEDA.
A CLEAR FOR THE CPUC HAS THE
AUTHORITY TO REPORT REPEAL. TO
REPORT REAL TIME DATA IS NEEDED
AND CAN DETERMINE WHETHER
DISCLOSURE SPECIFIC DATA WOULD
NEGATIVELY IMPACT [inaudible]
HAVE [inaudible]
COMMITTING A THE BILL WAS TO
SHARE THANK YOU WE HAVE A MOTION
I DON'T FEEL --
SURE MAKE ANY CLOSER COME I JUST
APPRECIATE THE AMENDMENTS AND I
THINK THAT SO BETTER FILL I
THINK FOR FOR ME --
WE HEARD FROM THE OPPOSITION
THAT THAT THAT THIS IT A LOT OF
THIS INFORMATION IS ALREADY
ALREADY COLLECTED SO I DON'T SEE
HOW THAT BECOMES OVERLY
BURDENSOME.
THE CPUC HAS THE AUTHORITY TO
ISSUE A REPORT WERE ASKING THEM
TO ACTUALLY DO THAT AND WE WANT
TO KNOW IN OUR COMMUNITIES I'M
I'M IN ONE OF THOSE AREAS THAT
DOESN'T HAVE REDUNDANT --
CELLULAR SERVICE SO WHEN A WHEN
A LINE GOES OUT IT WIPES OUT
COMMUNITIES THAT IN A WAY THAT
DOESN'T HAPPEN IN LARGE URBAN
AREAS AND WE JUST WANT TO ENSURE
THAT.
THAT IN THROUGH THE REPORTING
PROCESS THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY
GETTING REBUILT AT THAT LEVEL
AND IF IF THAT'S TRULY HAPPENING.
THEN INDUSTRY SHOULD NOT BE
CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONTENTS OF
REPORT I AM ABSOLUTELY --
I'M.
I UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT AND THE
NEED FOR CONFIDENTIALITY THAT
YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOUR
COMPETITORS --
A LEG UP SOMEWHERE BUT I THINK I
THINK REPORTING TO ENSURE THAT
THAT THAT THE CUSTOMER'S RUSHING
GETTING WHAT THEY'RE PAYING.
FOR ON THAT IT'S THE SAME OR
BETTER -- IT
SHOULD SHOULDN'T BE AN ONEROUS
REQUIREMENT AND WE'RE JUST
ASKING TO SEE PC PC TO ACTUALLY
ISSUE THAT REPORT THANK YOU WE
