MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS --
I'VE HAD A KEEN.

RECYCLING SINCE MY TIME ON THE
SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS IN 200-022-2000 SIX
WHEN.
OUR ALTAMONTE LAND FILLED WAS --
ALMOST AT CAPACITY AND SINCE
THEN -- WE HAVE BEEN WORKING
VERY CLOSELY WITH MEMBERS HERE
ON TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.
HOW TO ADDRESS THE RECYCLING?
CRISIS THAT WE HAVE -- FACING US
HERE IN CALIFORNIA I'M HERE TO
TESTIFY ON ONE OF THE PROVISIONS
IN THIS BILL WHICH EXTENT
EXTENDS A SUNSET DATE FOR SALES
AND USE TAX EXCLUSION. FOR
CERTAIN MANUFACTURERS TO JANUARY
TWENTY THIRTY THAT IS
ADMINISTERED -- AND CHAIRED BY
MY OFFICE THE CALIFORNIA
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY AND ADVANCE
TRANSPORTATION FINANCING

ON NAME TO KATE.

IS A GREAT.
NEED IN A CRISIS IN OUR STATE --
WE APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR OF FOR
PUTTING IN THIS SENSE AT
EXTENSION ENTER HER BILL TO
CREATE A GREATER NEXUS TO
CALIFORNIA'S ECONOMIC INCENTIVES
OF FOR ALL OF THESE FOUR
INDUSTRIES AND WITH ME HERE IS

PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE FUNDED AS
WELL AS THE ECONOMIC.
BENEFITS TO THE STATE.
ENTER YOUR THANK YOU SO MUCH AS
GRILL WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE TO
SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT THEM
BEYOND WHAT THE TREASURE IT SAID.
I THINK SHE SUMMED IT UP VERY
WELL IN THIS TIME OF A RECYCLING

LOCAL GOVERNMENT RECYCLING GOALS
AND I CAN HELP ANSWER ANY
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT
HAVE ON THE PROGRAM THANK YOU SO
MUCH WE'RE GRATEFUL YOU'RE HERE
IS GOOD TO SEE YOU GOOD MORNING
SIR YOU HAVE AYE TWO MINUTES AND
YOU HAVE BIPARTISAN SUPPORT IN
THE THE COLLAPSE OF CALIFORNIANS
AGAINST.
WASTE I'LL KEEP IT BRIEF TO ADD
ON TO THE THE SPECIFIC.
BENEFITS OF THE KEEPER PROGRAM
ALL TOUCH ON OTHER PARTS OF THE
BILL.
ON IT CALIFORNIA'S HAD A VERY
SUCCESSFUL RECYCLING SYSTEM OVER
THE LAST THIRTY YEARS AND A LOT
OF THAT HAS COME FROM OVERSEAS
MARKETS BEING ABLE TO TAKE OUR
MATERIAL.
FURTHER SORT IT MAKE IT INTO A
VALUABLE PRODUCT -- WITH WITH
THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT SAYING
THEY NO LONGER WANTED OUR
RECYCLABLES.
I THAT SET OFF A DOMINO EFFECT
ALL OVER SOUTHEAST AND EAST ASIA.
WHERE OTHER COUNTRIES -- HAVE
ALSO SAID THEY NO LONGER WANT
ARM MAKES WASTE MATERIAL.
AND AS A RESULT WE NEED CLEANER
MATERIALS IN ORDER TO KEEP
RECYCLING.
AND THE BILL -- HANDLES THAT
ANSWER FOR TWO DIFFERENT WAYS OR
SAW BY CREATING INCENTIVES FOR
MANUFACTURERS.
IN CALIFORNIA TO USE RECYCLED
CONTENT THROUGH THE CASE FOR
PROGRAM.
AND THE REVOLVING LOAN PROGRAM
AT OUR END EASY.
AND BY.
REDUCING CONSUMER CONFUSION
ABOUT WHAT GOES AND WHAT BEEN.
BY GETTING RID OF THE CHASING
ARROWS ON PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT
RECYCLABLE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A
MANDATE THAT ANYTHING PLASTIC
MUST HAVE THE CHASING ARROWS.
AND EVEN THE MAIN FACTORS ARE
NECESSARILY WANT TO PUT THAT ON
PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT RECYCLABLE.
AND FINALLY CREATES A COMMISSION
TO HELP INFORM STATE EDUCATION
EFFORTS ON WHAT IS AND ISN'T
RECYCLING CALIFORNIA.
BECAUSE WE CAN'T.
DO ANY KIND OF PUBLIC EDUCATION
IF WE DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW.
WHAT SHOULD BE GOING INTO
DIFFERENT BANDS?
THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR WE'RE
GRATEFUL FOR YOUR TESTIMONY
WE'RE NOT GONNA.
WELCOME ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE
TO GO TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL FIRST AND LAST NAME AN
ORGANIZATION GOOD MORNING SIR
GOOD MORNING SIR CHECK HELD
ADVERT REPRESENT REPUBLIC
SERVICES AND IN SUPPORT OF THIS
VERY IMPORTANT.
PIECE OF RECYCLING LEGISLATION
THANKS RUSSIA HEY GOOD MORNING.
MORNING MELISSA ROMERO WITH THE
CALIFORNIA LEAGUE OF
CONSERVATION VOTERS IN SUPPORT.
THANK YOU GOOD MORNING JOHN
KENNEDY WITH RURAL COUNTY
REPRESENTATIVES THE CALIFORNIA
STRONG SUPPORT THANK YOU DON'T
THINK YOU.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR ANYONE ELSE IS
GONNA BE LAST CALL FOR SUPPORT.
MORNING GOOD MORNING TREES THE
REGULARS ON THE HAPPY CALIFORNIA
COMPOST COALITION IN THE LOCAL
ADMINISTRATORS OF ENVIRONMENTAL
HEALTH AND SUPPORT YOUR GOOD
IT'S A BUSY DAY THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
ARE WE NOW GOING TO TURN IT OVER
TO THOSE WHO MAY BE OPPOSED IF
YOU COULD PLEASE COME FOR THIS
TIME.
GONNA MAKE ROOM FOR MISTER
CHARACTER PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO
HAVE A SEAT AT THE DíAS ONE OF
OUR WITNESSES.
THANK CARE REPRESENTING THE
COMPANY LEAGUE CITIES WE WELCOME
TO COMMITTEE IN OPPOSITION
FLOORS YOUR SIR.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
DAN KERRIGAN BEHALF OF LEE A
CALIFORNIA CITIES -- WE
CERTAINLY A SUPPORT THE GOALS OF
THE AUTHOR OF THIS BILL IN TERMS
OF TRYING TO ADDRESS THE
CHALLENGES THAT -- THE STATE AND
LOCAL AGENCIES ARE FACING ON
RECYCLING -- THE BOTTOM ONE
CONCERN FOR US THOUGH IT IS
ABOUT YOU KNOW WITH WITH THIS
BILL IS -- WHO'S PAYING FOR FOR
THE EXTENSION OF THIS KATE FOR
PROGRAM -- THIS PROGRAM IS
CURRENTLY AUTHORIZED AT A
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS YEAR THE
SALES AND USE TAX EXCLUSION
PROGRAM -- IN IN ONE PROVISION
OF THE BILL ACTUALLY EXTENDS ITS
PROGRAM FOR TEN YEARS SO THAT'S
ABOUT A BILLION DOLLARS -- AND
IF YOU LOOK AT THE ANALYSIS.
WHICH IS VERY WELL DONE.
ON THE FIRST PAGE I MEAN OUR OUR
SALES AND USE TAX ALEC.
ALLOCATION IS GETTING PRETTY
CHOPPED UP OVER THE YEARS IN
TERMS OF WHERE DOLLARS GO.
BUT IS IT GIVES YOU CAN TELL THE
THE STATE GENERAL FUNDS IMPACT
IS THREE POINT 93%.
ALL THE OTHER IMPACTS OF A SALES
AND USE TAX EXCLUSION OF FALL ON
LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
AND ACTUALLY BELOW THE LINE IF
YOU LOOK ON THE FIRST PAGE SEVEN
POINT 25% YOU HAVE LOCAL
TRANSFER TRANSPORTATION TAX
MEASURES OTHER LOCAL TRANSACTION
USE TAX MEASURES THAT APPROVED
BY LOCAL VOTERS.
SO WHEN YOU EXCLUDE AVENUE THE
SALES TAX AND USE TAX EXCLUSION.
THERE'S A LOT OF IMPACTS ON
LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
THE SECOND THING IN THIS
ANALYSIS THAT I WANT YOU TO MAKE
SURE THAT YOU -- FOCUS ON IS
WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT STATE
REVENUE IMPACT -- IT COULD BE
GIVEN THAT.
MANY OF THESE -- OF THESE
INVESTMENTS COULD COULD
CURRENTLY QUALIFY FOR THE
MANUFACTURERS EXEMPTION THAT WAS
EXTENDED A COUPLE YEARS AGO.
THE REVENUE IMPACT -- FOR THE
STATE OF FOR THIS BILLION DOLLAR
ON EXTENSION IS UNDER TEN
MILLION PER YEAR.
AND THEN ON COMMENT NUMBER FIVE
IT IT IT DOES OUTLINE THAT.
MOST OF THE IMPACT OF EXTENDING
THIS PROGRAM -- UP TO FIVE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
FALLS ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT SO ON
WE DON'T LET'S A LOT OF MONEY.
AND SO WE DO HAVE A LOT OF
CONCERNS WITH -- THAT KIND OF
REVENUE IMPACT OF WITH THIS
PROGRAM -- THE OTHER THING.
THAT IS -- CHALLENGING WITH --
THIS PROGRAM FROM ALL OVER A TAX
PERSPECTIVE IS.
THE OFTENTIMES WITH ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT THERE IS A NEXUS
BETWEEN WHERE THE THE COMMUTERS
THAT'S GETTING THE BENEFIT OF
THE INVESTMENT AND THEN WERE THE
TAX DOLLARS ARE COMING FROM.
UNDER THIS PROGRAM FOR THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT PERSPECTIVE.
CITY A MAY BE GETTING THE NEW
INVESTMENT BUT CITIES B. C. AND
D. OR THE ONES THAT ACTUALLY ARE
PAYING FOR IT SO FOR THOSE
REASONS WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT
CONCERNS WITH.
THE EXTENSION OF THAT PROGRAM.
HE'S MUCH AS CHARACTERS CARE
WERE HAVE YOU HANG THERE FOR
WITH US I JUST CASE ANYONE HAS
ANY QUESTIONS WE'RE GONNA GO TO
THOSE.
WHO MAY STILL BE IN OPPOSITION
THEY WERE IN TURN OVER THE SILLY
WOMAN TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME
COMMENTS?
THANK YOU VERY SEE THIS IS GOING
TO BE IN OPPOSITION IF YOU COULD
PLEASE COME FORWARD THIS TIME.
WHERE DO LAST CALL FOR
OPPOSITION?
THANK YOU SO MUCH CAN AS THE
SERGEANTS MAKER MIKE'S WITNESSES
MIKE'S IN THESE ARE JUST A
LITTLE LOW BUT IF.
WE CHECK IT OUT IN WILL TURN
OVER TO THE ASSEMBLY WOMAN I TO
BE ABLE TO RESPOND THEN WE'LL%
OPEN IT UP.
FOR QUESTIONS COMMENTS FROM THE
COMMITTEE NOW IT MADAM SOME
NUMBER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ANNA AND I
WILL ALSO.
MAKE TIME.
FOR OUR OUR WITNESSES TO SPEAK
UP BUT I WILL SAY AS AT LIKE
LIKE LIKE THAT THE OUR STATE
TREASURER I ALSO CAME FROM WILL
LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
I WHEN YOU GO WORK FROM LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AND YOU ARE AT
ELECTED OFFICIAL ON A CITY OR A
COUNTY -- YOU KNOW FROM THE
GROUND UP THE PROBLEM OF TRASH
AND RECYCLING IN BEING ABLE TO
HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE AT TO
TAKE CARE OF YOUR CITIES NEEDS --
ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN AREAS
WITH A LOWER SOCIOECONOMIC
PROFILE.
AND WHILE ANY KIND OF DIVERSION
OF TAX DOLLARS WE UNDERSTAND IS --
IS IMPORTANT -- WE ALSO KNOW
THAT IF WE DON'T HAVE THE CARE
IT TO BE ABLE TO DEVELOP.
THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO BE ABLE TO
MAKE THINGS WITH OUR TRASH MAKE
THINGS WITH OUR WAYS TO TURN
THOSE INTO GOOD MANUFACTURING
JOBS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
TO MORE EFFECTIVELY AND
EFFICIENTLY.
WORK TO REDUCE OUR WASTE THEN
THAT WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING --
SO WHILE CITIES AB AND C. MAY
NOT GET THE ACTUAL BENEFIT I
WOULD BUT I WOULD BET YOU THAT
THEY ARE WE REAPING THE BENEFIT
BY THE WHOLE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
BEING ABLE TO REDUCE.
THE AMOUNT WE'RE PUTTING INTO
OUR LANDFILLS AND INCREASE THE
AMOUNT OF MANUFACTURING JOBS
THAT WE'RE CREATING AS WE CREATE
OUR OWN CLOSE SYSTEM CYCLE.
AND I DO WANT TO ADD THAT ON
THIS PROGRAM IS WORKING IT IS
WORKING TO KEEP JOBS HERE TO
BRING A CERTAIN COMPANIES --
WITH TECHNOLOGY TO MEET OUR A.
B. THIRTY TWO MANDATES AND ALL
THE OTHER -- MANDATES THAT WE
HAVE BEEN APPROVING HERE SO JUST
WANNA GIVE A COUPLE OF
STATISTICS AT THE END OF TWENTY
EIGHTEEN KATE HAD APPROVED A
TOTAL OF TWO HUNDRED ONE PROJECT
APPLICATIONS HELPING TO PURCHASE
OVER EIGHT POINT FIVE BILLION
DOLLARS.
IN EQUIPMENT AND MACHINERY --
THERE ARE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
NINE ACTIVE INCOMPLETE PROJECTS
THAT WERE APPROVED FOR A TOTAL
OF SIX POINT. TWO FIVE BILLION
IN ANTICIPATED QUALIFIED
PROPERTY PURCHASE IS ESTIMATED
TO RESULT IN APPROXIMATELY FIVE
HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR MILLION
IN STATE TAX EXEMPTIONS.
THESE PROJECTS ARE LOCATED
ACROSS THIRTY THREE COUNTIES
THEIR ESTIMATED TO RESULT IN THE
RETENTION AND CREATION OF FORTY
FIVE THOUSAND JOBS.
WITH TWENTY TWO HUNDRED OF THESE
JOBS IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO THIS
STATE TAX EXEMPTION PROGRAM --
SO IT IS WORKING -- WE HAVE
FUNDED PROJECTS IN ALL OF THE
DISTRICTS -- NOT ALL OF THEM ARE
RELATED TO ONE COUNTY -- AS WE
ALL KNOW WASTE IS A STATE WIDE --
ISSUE WE HAVE AN INTEGRATED
WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD
SPECIFICALLY TO EQUALIZE WHERE
ALL OF OUR TRASH GOES TO AND I'M
MORE THAN HAPPY -- TO CREATE
WHAT WE CREATE WHERE EVERYBODY'S
TRASH GOES TO TO SHOW THAT YOU
KNOW THIS AND OTHER ISSUES --
SHOULD BE A STATEWIDE.
PROBLEM IN WITH SOLUTIONS AND
NOT JUST A COUNTY BY COUNTY --
SOLUTION SO I APPRECIATE -- THE
TIME HERE BUT THIS PROGRAM IS
WORKING.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM
TREASURE LET'S OPEN UP THE
COMMITTEES IF ANY QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS.
THIS IS A VICE CHAIR.
THERE SEEMS TO BE YOU INEQUITIES
IN SALES TAX LAW.
AMAZON WAREHOUSES IN CERTAIN
CITIES.
BUT YOU HAVE A AMENDMENT THAT
YOU WOULD PROPOSE LIKE THAT THAT
THE STATE REIMBURSES YOU YOU'RE
ONE PERCENTER.
WELL THAT WOULD BE A GOOD
AMENDMENT. TO OUT WE GET IT --
BUT IT'S IT'S A HARD ONE WHAT'S
REALLY CHALLENGING ON SENATOR
WITH THE BILL IS.
AGAIN -- IT TO THE EXTENT
THERE'S A LOCAL REVENUE IMPACT --
AGE I THINK THAT TO THE EXTENT
THAT THE THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
THAT WAS RECEIVING THE
INVESTMENT THE JOBS ANOTHER DOG
DIRECT BENEFITS TO THE EXTENT
THERE WAS A CLOSER NEXUS.
AND THE BENEFIT OF THE AND I
THINK IT MIGHT BE MORE WORKABLE
IT'S PRETTY HARD -- THE WAY THE
PROGRAM WORKS IS A MANUFACTURER
WILL HAVE A LIST OF THINGS.
THAT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO USE
FOR FOR FOR THE FOR THE FOR THE
PROJECT AND THE AND IT'S UP TO
THE MANUFACTURER IN TERMS OF
WHERE THEY BY THOSE PRODUCTS SO.
THE THE THE TAX THE IMPACT OF
THE TAX REDUCTION IS COULD BE
SPREAD ALL VER THE PLACE WHERE
THE IF YOU LOOK IN THIS IN THIS
ANALYSIS IT TALKS ABOUT TESLA
GETTING A COUPLE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS OVER THE LIFE OF THE
PROGRAM.
WILL CLEARLY SAID THE CITY OF
FREMONT IS BENEFITING A LOT FROM
THOSE THOSE INVESTMENTS IN THOSE
DOLLARS THE QUESTION IS WHERE.
WE'RE OR THE LOCAL TAX
CONTRIBUTIONS COMING FROM.
IT'S VERY HARD IN THIS PROGRAM
TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
RESTRUCTURING SO THERE'S A
CLOSER NEXUS BETWEEN -- THE
CONTRIBUTORS AND AND THE BENEFIT.
SO WE HAVE A BIG ISSUES THEN TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO IMPROVE.
SALES AND USE TAX BECAUSE WE'VE
GOT CITIES AND GETTING GOBS OF
SALES TAX BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE
THE WAREHOUSES AND THE CITIES
THAT ARE ACTUALLY PURCHASING THE
GOODS ARE GETTING THE BENEFIT
EITHER SO HOW DO WE HOW DO WE
FIX THE SYSTEM.
WHO ARE GONNA BE DONE IN THIS
BILL?
THE COMMITTEE DID -- SUPPORT BY
SENATOR GLAZERS BILL EARLIER
THIS YEAR THAT ADDRESSES THAT IN
OUR OPINION AT LEAST SOME OF THE
THE ISSUES WITH THE WAREHOUSES.
AND WE SUPPORT THAT BILL.
THE COMMISSION THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR THAT TO BE TURNED OVER TO
THE MINISTRY TO THE PROGRAMS
CARILLO TO BE IN THAT PROVIDE TO
US -- COMMENTARY ON THE PROGRAM
IN THE DETAILS OF IT PLEASE
THANK YOU FOR THAT FOR THAT I
WOULD LIKE TO JUST ADD A LITTLE
CLARITY -- THIS IS NOT A BROADLY
PULL THE MIKE CLOSER I'M SURE
THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN -- THIS
IS DINA CARILLO EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR KEEP THAT -- TED TO
CORRECT AT A FEW ISSUES THIS IS
NOT A BROAD ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM
THIS IS A PROGRAM WHERE SPECIFIC
RECYCLERS MANUFACTURERS CAN COME
IN AND WE ASSESS THE NET BENEFIT
WHETHER THE FISCAL.
BENEFIT OF THE PROJECT WILL
OUTWEIGH THE FOR GONE SALES AND
USE TAX IN DOING THAT WE LOOK AT
EMPLOYEES SALARIES INCREASES IN
PROPERTY TAX -- I AM --
SYMPATHETIC TO THE ISSUE RAISED
BY THE CITIES AND THE TAX RATE I
WOULD SAY THAT THIS PROGRAM IS A
DIFFERENT.
IN THE SENSE THAT THIS IS A
POTENTIALLY A ONE TIME LOSS THAT
IS NOTED.
IN THE STAFF REPORTS WHAT'S NOT
NOTED AS A LONG TERM FISCAL
BENEFIT OF THE JOBS -- THE
INCREASE PROPERTY TAXES OVER
TIME EVEN IN THOSE SUPPLIER
ENTITIES LOTS OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ARE EXCITED TO BE
THOSE SUPPLIER CLUSTERS PROTEST
Là -- BECAUSE THEY WILL GROW IN
THEIR OWN REGIONS AND CREATE
REGIONAL CLUSTERS THAT CREATE
LONG TERM JOBS -- MINUS ONE
DOLLAR LOSS OF THE GENERAL FUND
OF THAT YEAR I'M INCREASING
PROPERTY TAX I WOULD SAY IN A
OVERALL IMPACT.
I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT
DISTINCT DIFFERENCE AND ALSO
CLARIFY THAT AS A RECYCLING
CHALLENGES HAVE BECOME GREATER
WE NEED GREATER TECHNOLOGY --
FOR THE ORGANICS WASTE TO CREATE
THE BIO FUEL TIM TO DIVERT FROM
LANDFILLS AND I'VE HEARD FROM
THESE COMPANIES THAT THAT --
STATE LOCAL IMPACT DOES MAKE A
DIFFERENCE WELL THERE IS A
REFERENCE TO THE LA A REPORT
ABOUT BEING SOMEWHERE PROGRAMS
WE HAVE REALLY SEEN THAT THAT
THIS PROGRAM CAN BE THE
DIFFERENCE IN A PROJECT MOVING
FORWARD OR NOT.
AND MANY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND
CITIES APPLY -- BECAUSE THE THE
THE DYNAMICS AND THE ECONOMICS
OF EACH OF EACH PROJECT IS IS
THAT WHEN WHEN IT COMES TO
MEETING CALIFORNIA'S DIVERSION
RIGHT.
YOU SO MUCH MISS KOREA.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE ANY
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS UP FROM THE
COMMITTEE.
THEN WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO
ESTABLISH A QUORUM AND THEN AND

YOURS THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS DAVID JONES ABOUT THE
CITIES OF BURBANK SAN MARCOS IN
THE MARIN COUNTY COUNCIL OF
MAYORS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS IN
OPPOSITION WE APPRECIATE THE
MOVEMENT THE AUTHORS MADE ON THE
BILL'S GOTTEN MUCH BETTER AS IT.
WENT TO THE PROCESS WE STILL
HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS ABOUT
PARKING -- SAN MARCOS IS A CITY
IN SAN DIEGO EIGHTY THOUSAND
PEOPLE THEY HAVE THREE COLLEGES
THE BLAST OF THREE COLLEGES
HOWEVER THE IMPACT ON THEIR
NEIGHBORHOODS RESIDENTIAL
NEIGHBORHOODS OF STUDENT HOUSING --
COUPLED WITH THIS EIGHTY YOU
WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A TRI PLEX ON
AN EXISTING SINGLE FAMILY.
UNIT -- THEY ARE HEAVILY HEAVILY
IMPACTED BY TRAFFIC IMPACTS OUR
PARKING IMPACTS.
SO THE WAY THAT THE BILL IS
CRAFTED RIGHT NOW WILL HAVE A
VERY VERY DIFFICULT -- IMPACT ON
NEIGHBORHOODS ARE ALREADY OVER
SATURATED WITH LACK OF PARKING.
OF FIRE SAFETY OF HAVING.
NOT HAVING -- REQUIREMENT FOR
OFF STREET PARKING IN CERTAIN
NEIGHBORHOODS -- IN MARIN WHERE
YOU HAVE HI FI HIGH FIRE DANGER
THEY ARE THERE IS STILL CONCERN
ABOUT THAT LACK OF ABILITY. FOR
A FIRE TRUCK TO NAVIGATE VERY
NARROW STREETS IN CERTAIN AREAS
SO WITH THOSE CONCERNS WE
CONTINUE TO BE OPPOSED AND WOULD
ASK FOR A NO VOTE.
THANKS SO MUCH SIR THANK YOU
MISTER JONES.

THANK YOU CENTER AGAIN WE THINK --
IF YOU DO USE HAVE THE MOST
MINIMAL IMPACT WITH THE GREATEST
OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD MORE
HOUSING -- IN THIS STATE IN SAN
FRANCISCO WHAT WE FOUND WITH
EIGHTY USE IS THAT BEFORE WE
ACTUALLY HAD A PROCESS TO
LEGALIZE EIGHTY USE WHAT
HAPPENED PEOPLE JUST DON'T THE
MINIBUS.
SO THIS PARKING ISSUE.
WAS CREATED WHETHER OR NOT THERE
WERE LEGAL OR ILLEGAL EIGHTY USE
THEY GOT BUILT.
OVER THE PARKING.
I THINK MY CITY PROBABLY FACES
AS BIG A PARKING CHALLENGES AS
ANY CITY IN THIS PARTICULAR
STATE.
THAT WE HAVE HAD THAT DEFINITELY
MANAGED THROUGH WE DEFINITELY
RESPECT ALL THE ALL THE CITIES
AND THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT A

AB ONE FORTY TWO ADDRESSES
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS THAT WERE
IDENTIFIED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION

IT ALSO THAT'S A PROCESS FOR
THIS CD TFA TO BETTER TRACK THE
EXEMPTIONS.
UNDER CURRENT LAW AT THE POINT
OF SALE ONE DOLLAR FROM THE
CONSUMERS DEPOSIT WILL GO TO THE
CLEAN UP FINE.
MANY FACTORS ALSO PAY A ONE
DOLLAR FEE ON ALL BATTERY SOLD
IN THIS STATE. THIRTEEN ABLE
TWENTY SECOND THE CONSUMER FEE
INCREASES TO TWO DOLLAR.
AND THE MANUFACTURE FEE SENSE IT.
THIS BILL SIMPLY STARTS TO MAKE
SURE WE KEEP EQUITY BETWEEN THE
CONSUMER AND THE MANUFACTURERS
AND SETS THE MANUFACTURE OF THE
EQUAL TO THE CONSUMER FEE.
WE NEED AS MANY NIGHTS AS THE
CLEANUP BACKSIDE BUT ALL THE
OTHERS MOTHERS IN THE STATE WE

HEY MISTER WOLF I'M EXCITED TO
SEE IS THERE HI ALL RIGHT COULD
YOU SEE I'M I'M VERY AMPED UP
TODAY WOULD YOU -- JESUS IS
GOING TO ASK IF YOU HAVE ANY
TIMES VISIBLE THE FLOORS SO I
ALWAYS HAVE PLANS ALL RIGHT
THANK YOU SIR THE FOR SERVICE AS
THANK YOU MEMBERS GOOD MORNING-DAVID WILL FOR THE OUR JARVIS
TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION -- WE ARE
OPPOSED TO THIS BILL -- MEMBERS
SO TOUGH ONE FOR US BECAUSE
OBVIOUSLY WE DO UNDERSTAND --
WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE
EXCITED YOU KNOW BATTERY PLAN IN
THE CITY OF VERNON AND THE
ISSUES THERE AND -- AND
OBVIOUSLY CLEAN UP OF THAT
FACILITY IS VERY EXPENSIVE
LOOKING AT UPWARDS OF FIVE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS TO CLEAN.
YOU KNOW THE LEAD CONTAMINATED
UNDERSTAND THAT.
HOWEVER WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
THE ADDITIONAL CONSUMER IMPACT
THAT -- THIS BILL BRINGS FORWARD
YOU KNOW ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF
AGAIN CALIFORNIANS THE TWENTY
BILLION DOLLARS SURPLUS OUT OF
THE BUDGET THAT WAS JUST PASSED.
AND AND AND YOU KNOW IT'S ALSO
WORTH NOTING YOU KNOW EVEN AS
THE AUTHOR MENTIONED THAT WE'VE
NOW GONE FROM THE CITY OF
EXCITED TO YOU EIGHTEEN
DIFFERENT BATTERY FACILITIES.
UP AND DOWN THE STATE AND IF
THIS IS A PROBLEM MEMBERS
STATEWIDE SHOULD THIS NOT BE
FUNDED OUT OF THE STATE GENERAL
FUND BECAUSE IT IS A MATTER OF
STATEWIDE CONCERN.
AND WE SHOULDN'T BE FOISTING
ADDITIONAL FEES ON CONSUMERS
THAT MIGHTNOT HAVE BATTERY
PLANTS IN THEIR GIVEN GEOGRAPHIC
AREAS SO REALLY FOR US IT'S A
QUESTION NOT SO MUCH OF THE FEE
INCREASES JUST EQUITY IN GENERAL.
FOR THOSE REASONS ASK FOR NOVA.
MR WILL FORGIVE YOU HANG HERE
JUST IN CASE THERE'S ANY
QUESTIONS IF YOU DON'T MIND
WE'RE GONNA OPEN UP TO ANYONE%
ELSE WHO MAY BE OPPOSED IF YOU
COULD PLEASE ADVANCE.
LOOKING FOR OPPOSITION.
WE'RE GONNA DO LAST CALL. TO
BRING IT BACK TO COMMITTEE TO
SEE IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS WE DO HAVE A MOTION A
MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY CENTER
TITLE IS VICE CHAIR [inaudible]
FOR MR -- IT ALWAYS SEEMS THAT --
WHEN WE GET A YEAR TAX INCREASE
IT TO IT'S A BIG ONE IT'S IS
UNDER PERCENT ALTHOUGH JUST A
DOLLAR?
AND SO I'M JUST WONDERING --
USING THE ARGUMENT IS WELL WE
HAVEN'T RAISED IT IN A LONG TIME
THEREFORE WE GOT A REALLY CATCH
UP.
IS THERE A WAY TO MAYBE MODIFY
THE BILL TO DO IT INCREMENTALLY
OVER TIME.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT IF WE ALLOW
THE FEE TO BE AT THE RATE AT
WHICH IS COMING IN.
WE WOULD HAVE -- OVER THIRTY
YEARS BEFORE WE COULD FINISH THE
CLEANUP AND SO WE CONTINUE TO
PUT PEOPLE ARE ASSN THE HEALTH
AT RISK.
AS THE FOR YOU -- LET THE
CHILDREN OUT THERE BEING BORN
PRETTY DETRIMENTAL WE AND WE'RE
ALSO TRYING TO MAKE SURE THE
CONSUMER FEE IS EQUITABLE UNABLE
TO THE MANUFACTURE FEE.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS AREN'T
ALWAYS A DEAL IN IN THE
LEGISLATURE -- BUT THERE IS A
SENSE OF URGENCY ACROSS THE
STATE NOW THAT WE KNOW THE
EFFECTS OF LED OUT THERE AND AND
A SENSE TO HURRY UP AND TAKE
ACTION AS SIMPLY AS POSSIBLE.
THANK YOU MISTER THANK YOU
VENTURE AS A MEMBER LOOK I I
THINK YOU WOULD BE THE FIRST TO
ADMIT YOUR CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THIS ISSUE -- AND THERE'S MORE
WORK TO COME IN REGARDS TO THE
FEET I THINK THE CHALLENGE THAT
YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW.
NOT ENOUGH MONEY. TOO MUCH
SUFFERING IN SIGNIFICANT
CHALLENGES ON THE GROUND IF YOU
CAN JUST TALK TO US ABOUT
EXITING THIS PROCESS IS GOING TO
CONTINUE.
YES -- WE HAVE AT LEAST TEN
THOUSAND HOMES THAT ARE
CONTAMINATED BY EXIDE WE HAVE
OVER TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED ARE
LEVEL ONE WHICH MEANS THAT THERE
ARE OVER A THOUSAND PARTS PER
MILLION WHICH IS TOXIC DUMP
LEVELS.
THIS IS A WORKING CLASS
COMMUNITY WE HAVE AN
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE OF ABOUT 7% IN
THE CITY OF COMMERCE WHICH IS
ONE OF THE CITY'S AFFECTED.
WE HAVE -- WE HAVE. 70% OF THE
POPULATION THAT LIVES BELOW
POVERTY INSIDE THE ABILITY FOR
THE COMMUNITY TO COME UP WITH
THE POLICY THE CLEAN UP.
IT SEEMS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE AN
ADDITION TO THE FACT THAT WE
HAVE FOLKS ARE BEING SICK WE
KNOW WE HAVE CLOSEST OF CANCER.
OF FOR A LONG TIME WE WERE TOLD
WE WERE CRAZY IN AND THAT THIS
IS A TRUE BUT THE TESTING NOW
THE INFORMATION IS OUT THERE.
THE CLEANUP HAS BEEN SLOW THIS
IS THE FIRST TIME THE STATE IS
DOING ANY SORT OF A CLEAN UP OF
THE STORE.
THE THING ABOUT THOSE LAWS WE
TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT
AND DO IT RIGHT HI BUT HE SAID
THAT THAT WE'RE FINALLY DOING IT
MUCH BETTER AND IT'S BEATING UP.
ON AND THIS AREA HAS BEEN
TREATED LIKE GO AWAY SLAM PEOPLE
HAVING TO LIKE THEIR DISPOSABLE
LET IS ONE OF THE MANY TOXIC
THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH ON A
REGULAR BASIS.
AND MY SISTER AND I ALWAYS JOKE
WE GREW UP IN THIS COMMUNITY
THAT IT WOULD AND GREW UP IN
THIS COMMUNITY.
MAYBE WOULD BE GENIUSES AS WE
KNOW WE HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT
TOXICS AND AS BUT ALL THESE
TALKS SIX DO.
PT YOUR ABILITY WHEN YOU'RE
DEVELOPING -- IN YOUR BRAIN
MATTER WHEN YOU DEVELOP THE AND
THAT'S PARTICULARLY TRUE.
OF ALADDIN SO IT'S JUST
IMPORTANT THAT WE TAKE ACTION --
NOTHING'S PERFECT HERE AND SO I
AM CONSTITUENTS FIGURE OUT HOW
TO BE GOOD ENOUGH AND KEEP
THINGS GOING FORWARD WE CAN'T
WAIT ANY LONGER ACCEPT

ABSOLUTELY.
AREA.
AT MEMBERS THE MORNING THE AND
DAVID WOLFF HOWARD JARVIS
TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION AND I
WOULD LIKE TO YOU APOLOGIZE TO
THE AUTHOR FOR THE LATE
OPPOSITION ON THE BILL THE BILL
WAS JUST AMENDED LAST WEEK OF
COURSE SO -- THAT WAS THE REASON
FOR THAT -- WE ARE OPPOSED TO
THIS BILL FOR A NUMBER OF
DIFFERENT REASONS MEMBERS LESSEN
THE BRADLEY BURNS RATE -- FOR
LOCAL TAXES STATEWIDE HAS BEEN
SET AT 2% FOR THE BETTER PART OF
DECADES THERE HAVE BEEN BILLS
PREVIOUSLY TO TRY AN INCREASE
THIS STATEWIDE 183% AND THAT WAS --
WERE VETOED BY GOVERNOR BROWN
PREVIOUSLY SO CLEARLY THERE'S
NOT.
SORT OF AN IMPETUS TO PUSH HESE
LOCAL TAXES UP 23% SO WE
CONTINUE TO HAVE THESE CARVE
OUTS AND EXEMPTIONS FROM VARIOUS
MUNICIPALITIES ACROSS THE STATE --
THE 2% MEMBERS IS IN PLACE FOR A
REASON -- THERE'S COMPLIANCE
ISSUES FIRST OF ALL WINNERS AND
LOSERS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR YOU
HAVE YOU KNOW SOME
MUNICIPALITIES INCREASING TAXES
AT HIGHER RATES THAN OTHERS WHAT
THAT LEADS TO ITS CONSUMERS JUST
JUMPING AROUND FROM MUNICIPALITY
TO MUNICIPALITY TRYING TO GET
THE BETTER DEAL -- THERE'S
COMPLIANCE ISSUES THERE -- AND
UNIFORMITY ISSUES WHICH IS WHY
THE BRADLEY BURNS HAS ALWAYS
BEEN IN PLACE FOR YEARS AND
YEARS -- THERE'S ALSO JUST THE
CONCEPT OF REGRESSIVE TAXES WERE
TALKING ABOUT THE CITY OF
FREMONT NOW WITH.
IF THEY WERE TO GET A GENERAL
TAX APPROVED HAVE A SALES TAX
pTHERE'S ONLY TWENTY FIVE CITIES
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WITH
THE SALES TAX RATE OF OVER 10% --
THAT'S A HUGE HUGE THRESHOLD FOR
A REGRESSIVE TAX -- AND AGAIN WE
SIMPLY DON'T SEE IT AS NECESSARY
IF IT IS NECESSARY INCREASE THE
STATE WATER IT 23% LET'S STOP
DOING THESE CAR ABOUT -- AND SO
WE JUST WERE NOT IN FAVOR JUST
CONTINUE TO REGRESSIVE TAXATION
AND WITHOUT IT ASK FOR NOVA.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MISTER WOLF
WE'RE GONNA TURN IT OVER TO
ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO
SPEAK IN OPPOSITION IF YOU COULD
PLEASE COME FOR AT THIS TIME.
LOOKING FOR OPPOSITION -- TURN
IT BACK TO COMMITTEE WE O HAVE
A MOTION THE FLOOR BY CENTER
ABOUT WHERE.
TO HEAR FROM THE VICE CHAIR
MISTER VICE CHAIR FLOORS ARE SIR
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR -- FOR
THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA IS THAT
JUST FOR THE UNINCORPORATED AREA
[inaudible]
CORRECT [inaudible]
AND THEN.
THE CITY OF FREMONT -- YOUR NAME
IS INVOKED EARLIER THIS MORNING --
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TESLA AND YOU
SHOULD BE DOING GREAT -- SO
WHAT'S HAPPENING.
WITH REALLY WHAT'S HAPPENING
REALLY IS TEST FOR NOT.
HOTEL WRITING A PART OF OUR
COMMUNITY WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE
TO HAVE THAT CALL US HOME BUT WE
ALSO HAVE A LOT OF OTHER NEEDS
THAT FAR EXCEED.
AND WE ARE GROWING COMMUNITY
THAT'S TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE ARE PREPARED AND GIVES THE
OPTION FOR A COMMUNITY SHOULD
THEY CHOOSE. TO TO BE ABLE TO
LET A ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THAT
WE NEED FOR PROGRAMS SUCH AS OUR
PUBLIC SAFETY.
AND OUR FIREFIGHTERS TO PLAN
BETTER FOR THE FUTURE.
YEAH THAT THAT THAT.
IS SORT OF THE STANDARD -- BUT
THE OPEN ROOM IS PUBLIC EMPLOYEE.
DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS
ARE SQUEEZING EVERYTHING OUT
CUTTING EVERYTHING OUT IN.
THE FUTURE WE'RE GOING.
TO TOWNIES CITIES SCHOOL
DISTRICT COMING TO US REAL SOON --
WITH WITH THIS GROWING CONCERN
TO MEET THEIR BUDGETS.
SO -- MISTER CHAIR ANOTHER
QUESTION I WOULD HAVE IS IS
COMPOUNDING IF YOU IF YOU
INCREASE THE COUNTY TAX PLUS THE
CITY TAX ESERVER.
CAN YOU GO ABOVE 2% THEN. TWO
AND A HALF THEIR SEPARATE
JURISDICTIONS OKAY THANKS THANKS
THANK YOU VERY MUCH CINNAMON.
OF I AM I'M I'M AWAY OFFER
BECAUSE I'M A LIBERTARIAN.
AND SO THE CITY WANTS TO TAX
ITSELF LEASES TAXING ITSELF
LOCALLY -- BUT WE'VE GOT.
WE'RE DEALING WITH A SYMPTOM AND
NOT WITH.
THE TRUE CAUSE OF WHAT'S CAUSING.
THIS AND SO IT IS REGRESSIVE IN
IT WILL HURT THE POOR.
AND ALL OF THE RESIDENTS OF
FREMONT IN ALAMEDA COUNTY DECIDE.
THANK YOU MISTER NO THANK YOU
MISTER VENTURE FOR YOUR COMMENTS
WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE ANY
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS FROM

[inaudible]
SIGN WELCOME. FOR YOUR FIRST.
GOOD MORNING MR TURN MEMBERS
CAROLING OUT OF THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY
TREASURER'S AND TAX COLLECTORS.
WE ARE OPPOSED UNLESS AMENDED --
ARE CONCERNED STEM FROM THE USE
OF THE PROGRAM BY MOBILE HOME
PARK OWNERS WE UNDERSTAND THAT
THEY CAN ALL USE AT ONE TIME
WERE CONCERNED THAT THE USE OF
THE WORD HOUSEMAN'S LEAN PROCESS
WHEREBY.
AN ABANDONED MOBILE HOME IS SOLD
AT AN AUCTION FOR DOLLAR. TO A
PARK OWNER AND THEN THEY ARE
ABLE TO THEN APPLY TO THIS
PROGRAM AND WIPES AWAY.
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF PROPERTY
TAXES THAT ARE OWED. TO THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT WERE CONCERNED
THAT PARKING OR CERTAINLY KNOW
HOW TO TRANSFER THE THE
PAPERWORK PROPERLY.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOME --
LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANCE IN MAKING
SURE THAT THE PROGRAM IS SERVING
THE POPULATION AS INTENDED THE
SUPPORTERS HERE THAT'S GREAT
WEIRD THAT THOSE ARE THE FOLKS
WE WANT TO HELP.
WE OFFERED SUBSTANTIVE
AMENDMENTS TO THE ORIGINAL
VERSION OF THE BILL I AND I
TWENTY SIXTEEN WE PROVIDED A LOT
OF COMMENTATORS CITIES THEY
DEVELOP THE REGULATIONS.
NONE OF OUR SUGGESTIONS WERE
INCORPORATED WHICH IS WHY WE ARE
NOW HERE IN OPPOSITION BECAUSE
WE ARE WATCHING PARKOWNERS USE
THIS TO ENRICH THEMSELVES.
AND ACQUIRE SOMEONE'S FORMER
HOME FOR A DOLLAR IN THE MIDDLE
OF A HOUSING CRISIS SO I WE'RE
ASKING FOR YOU TO EXERCISE THE
LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT ROLE THAT
YOU DO ENJOY BY LOOKING AT THESE
FOR THE WAREHOUSE MEANS LEAD TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE RIGHT PEOPLE
ARE USING THEM.
THE PROGRAM AND NOT A RICH IN
THEMSELVES AND THROUGH THIS
THROUGH THIS PROGRAM AND ALSO WE
OBSERVE TO THAT IT'S COST I%
THINK IT'S TO BE ABOUT A HALF A
MILLION DOLLARS TO RUN THE
PROGRAM THEY'VE ONLY BROUGHT IN
TWO HUNDRED AND SOMETHING
THOUSAND DOLLARS IN FEES AS OF
JANUARY.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE DOLLARS
THAT HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN OR LOCAL
PROPERTY TAX DOLLARS SO WE'RE
GOING TO BE HAVING TO FORFEIT
THIS ON VOLUNTARILY -- WE WOULD
LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
ACTUAL INTENDED RECIPIENTS OF
THE BILL ARE THERE ARE THE
BENEFICIARIES.
AND THEN -- WE ALSO WANT TO
OBSERVE THAT THIS DOES NOT
ACTUALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF
MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE'S HOMES
ARE REGISTERED THERE'S STILL NO
LONG TERM SOLUTION IN THE BILL
IT OPENS A WINDOW THAT FOLKS CAN
GO THROUGH TO GET THEIR TECH
CSUS FORGIVEN.
AND THERE'S NO LONG TERM
SOLUTION TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
PARK OWNERS KNOW WHEN THE MOBILE
HOME IS REGISTERED CURRENT OR
NOT SO UNTIL THE STICKER PROGRAM
IS BROUGHT BACK.
YOU REALLY HAVEN'T SOLVED THE
PROBLEM THAT YOU'RE GIVING AWAY
A LOT OF PROPERTY TAX DOLLARS AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL SO THAT IS WHAT
WE ARE OPPOSED.
I WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUE
THE DISCUSSION OVER THE BREAK
THE AUTHORS OFFICE HAS REACHED
OUT AND WE'RE TRYING TO WORK
WITH THEM AS WELL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAYING
WE'RE GONNA BE HANG THERE IF
THAT'S OKAY JUST IN CASE YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WOULD LIKE ME
TO SEE IF WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE.
WHO MAY BE IN?
OPPOSITION OF THE BILL IF YOU
COULD PLEASE COME FORWARD.
THIS CAN BE LAST CALL FOR
OPPOSITION.
LET'S BRING IT BACK TO COMMITTEE
TO SEE IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
OR COMMENTS.
FROM THE COMMITTEE.
WE HAVE A MOTION A MOTION BY
SENATOR BELL THIS IS A DO PASTOR
APPROPRIATIONS. TO MEMBER CHAD
YOU WERE A RESPOND TO MISS
LANE'S COMMENTS PLEASE
ABSOLUTELY -- THANK YOU VERY
MUCH OF FOR THE QUESTIONS LET ME
IN ANY -- ADDRESS IT FROM
DIFFERENT ANGLES ON THE FIRST OF
ALL I THINK THE THE OBJECTIVE OF
THIS -- OF OF THIS BILL IS TO
HELP. TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
HOMEOWNERS ARE GET TO TRANSFER
THE TITLE PROPERLY -- AND YOU
KNOW WITHOUT PAYING TAXES THAT
THEY DID NOT A CREW.
NOW UNDER THIS PROGRAM THE
COUNTY SO STILL ELIGIBLE TO
PURSUE ANY BACK -- DELINQUENT
TAXES -- IF THEY WISH SO WE'RE
NOT ACTUALLY LOSING ANY
PARTICULAR BACK TAXES BECAUSE
YOU KNOW THE LAW DOESN'T
PROHIBITIVE FROM GOING AFTER
THESE BAD BAD GUYS.
NOW HAVING SAID THAT -- YOU KNOW
IS A PART OWNER IS A LEGITIMATE
OWNER OF THE UNIT FOR EXAMPLE A
HE OR SHE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO OF
THE ELIGIBLE FOR THE PROGRAM.
NOW AS TO THE POTENTIAL MISUSE
OF THE PROGRAM.
I THINK THAT -- IT'S MY
UNDERSTANDING THAT -- MANY OF
THE PARK OWNERS WORK SIMPLY
HOPING RESIDENTS TO OF FILL OUT
FORMS AND ALSO BECAUSE OF THE OF
THEIR LIMITED.
ENGLISH SKILL LEVEL THEY WERE
NOT ABLE TO DO SO SO THEY WERE
SIMPLY TRYING TO YOU KNOW FILLED
THE FORMS WITH MS AND IN THE
TRANSFER THE TITLE BACK TO THE
PROPER OWNER.
NOW.
IS THE PROGRAM IS MIS USE ALL
THE FIRST ONE TO ME I'LL TRY TO
FIX IT.
SO I AM A VERY WILLING TO SIT
DOWN WITH THE COUNTY SUBSTANCE
FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN CLOSE THAT
LOOPHOLE AS TO THE OUTSTANDING
AMENDMENTS OF SUGGESTED I THINK.
THEY POSE CERTAIN OF PROBLEMS
BOB SO -- I'LL BE HAPPY TO WORK
WITH THEM BUT I JUST WANT TO
ALSO POINT OUT THE FACT THAT
EXISTING LAW MAKES IT A FELONY
FOR SOMEBODY WHO HAS THE INTENT
TO DEFRAUD THE SYSTEM.
BY A TRANSFER TITLE IMPROPERLY
AND THAT'S ON THEIR HEALTH AND
SAFETY CODE -- ARTICLE SEVEN ONE
EIGHT ONE TWO FOUR POINT FIVE SO --
SO THE LAW IS AVAILABLE -- FORCE
TO PURSUE ANY -- BAD ACTORS YOU
KNOW FOR SOMEBODY WHO MISUSES A
THE PROGRAM SO.
WITH THAT I YOU KNOW I I BELIEVE
THAT MY MEETING WITH THE
OPPOSITION IS -- SET FOR THIS
AFTERNOON SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH THEM.
AND YOU KNOW CLOSE ANY POTENTIAL
OPPOSE AT THIS PROGRAM TO CREATE
SO WITHOUT I RESPECTFULLY ASK
PRIVATE THANK YOU SO MUCH AS A
MEMBER I THINK IT'S ALSO
IMPORTANT KNOW THAT THIS IS A
ONE YEAR EXTENSION.
IN OBVIOUSLY THERE'S GOING TO BE
ADDITIONAL CONVERSATIONS HERE

ABLE TO ALLOW. FOR MORE IN DEPTH

MISTER CHAIRMAN AND SENATORS AND
I'M HERE TO PRESENT AB FIVE ZERO
EIGHT WHICH BUILT ON OUR
PROGRESS LAST YEAR. TO PROVIDE
SAFE DRINKING WATER TO
INDIVIDUALS AND DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITY WHO RELY ON SMALL
WATER SYSTEMS AND DOMESTIC
WHIRLS.
SPECIFICALLY AB FIVE ZERO EIGHT
REQUIRED THE WATER BOARD TO LET
RATE PAYERS RENTERS AND LAND
OWNERS.
IN THE DISTURBANCES COMMUNITY
KNOWS ABOUT WATER QUALITY
CONCERN IN THE AREA.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE HELL SHE
OF CONTAMINANTS AND TO
INFORMATION ABOUT THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR CONSOLE OF THE
OR EXTENSION ALL SERVICES.
THIS FOR A ALSO CLARIFIED THAT
AS A STATE MANDATED
CONSOLIDATION OR EXTENSION.
THE BIG GAINS IT IS A VIOLATION
OF THE LAW FOR A RECEIVING WATER
SYSTEM TO OVER CHARGE BEYOND A
REASONABLE COST. TO PROVIDE
SERVICES TO THE DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES.
FINALLY THIS WILL SET THE
DOWNLINE THE DEADLINE FOR JULY
FIRST TWENTY TWENTY FIVE WHICH
TO STAY WATER BOARD.
WILL DEVELOP AND ADOPT A POLICY
FOR MEMBERS OFF TO DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITY TO PETITION.
THE WATER BOARD TO CONSOLIDATION
OR EXTENSION OFFICE SERVICES.
THIS BILL IS SPONSORED BY THE
LEADERSHIP COUNCIL FOR JUSTICE
AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
AND SUPPORTER OF BY
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE GROUPS.
THE CALIFORNIA APARTMENT
ASSOCIATION AND THE ASSOCIATION
OF CALIFORNIA WATER AGENCIES.
AND HAS NO OPPOSITION.
WHO WAS ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT IS FROM MICHAEL CLAIR
BORN PHONE THE LEADERSHIP
COUNCIL FOR JUSTICE?
AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND ALSO --
SASHA SEARCHERS HERE'S ARCHER
HARDEN FROM THE WESTERN CENTER
OF LAW AND PROPERTY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH WE HAVE.
BILL WE HAVE A TWO WITNESSES SO
I JUST WANNA CONFIRM WHO WOULD
LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GO FIRST.
I THINK I'LL START ALL RIGHT HEY
WELCOME YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES OF
YOUR MIND IS INTRODUCE YOURSELF
FIRST LAST ORGANIZATION TWO
MINUTES WELCOME SIR ABSOLUTELY --
MY NAME'S MICHAEL CLAIBORNE I'M
AN ATTORNEY WITH LEADERSHIP
COUNCIL FOR JUSTICE AND
ACCOUNTABILITY.
WHICH IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE NONPROFIT BASED IN
FRESNO -- AND WITH OFFICES IN
THESE COACHELLA VALLEY AS WELL.
I'LL START BY THANKING THE
AUTHOR FOR PAST AND PRESENT
EFFORTS TO CHAMPION PAUL --
POLICY TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO SAFE
DRINKING WATER FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS.
AND I'LL ALSO TAKE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO THANK A MEMBER OF
THIS COMMITTEE SENATOR HER HER
TAUGHT -- FOR SECURING AN
APPROPRIATION FOR EXTENSION OF
DRINKING WATER SERVICE TO
TOMBSTONE TERRITORY AND FRESNO
COUNTY IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.
AND I MENTION THIS PROJECT HERE
BECAUSE IT IS THROUGH OUR
EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH
COMMUNITY RESIDENTS IN TOMBSTONE
WHICH STRUGGLES WITH ONE TWO
THREE T. C. P. NITRATES AND
BACTERIA CONTAMINATION.
THAT WE IDENTIFIED WITH THE
AUTHOR IMPROVEMENTS THE PROCESS
FOR DRINKING WATER CONSOLIDATION --
WHICH ARE CONTAINED IN AB FIVE
AWAIT.
THIS BILL HAS NO OPPOSITION AND
SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT.
TURNING TO THE NEED FOR THE BILL
THERE'S A DRINKING WATER CRISIS
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
MORE THAN ONE MILLION PEOPLE
CURRENTLY LACK ACCESS TO SAFE
DRINKING WATER IN THEIR HOMES
AND A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF
THIS PROBLEM IS -- HOUSEHOLDS
SERVED BY DOMESTIC WELLS WHICH
SERVE TWO MILLION PEOPLE WITHIN
THE STATE.
THIS IS BEEN MADE TO ADDRESS THE
CRISIS SPURRED ON BY THE
TRANSFER OF THE DRINKING WATER
PROGRAM TO THE STATE WATER BOARD
AND THE PASSAGE OF SB.
EIGHTY EIGHT AND AB TWENTY FIVE
A ONE WHICH GRANTED AN EXPANDED
RESPECTIVELY THE AUTHORITY OF
THE STATE WATER BOARD TO MANDATE
DRINKING WATER CONSOLIDATION.
AND AB FIVE OH EIGHT CONTINUES
AND BUILDS UPON THIS PROGRESS BY
MAKING THE MANDATORY
CONSOLIDATION PROCESS MORE
EFFICIENT AND TRANSPARENT.
IT WILL PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION
TO COMMUNITY RESIDENTS
THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS OF EXPAND
AS EXTENDING DRINKING WATER
SERVICE.
THIS INFORMATION INCLUDES NOTICE
OF DRINKING WATER PROBLEM
PROBLEMS IN THE AREA RELATED
HEALTH RISKS AND AVAILABLE
SOLUTIONS.
IT WOULD ALSO PROVIDE FOR THE
COMPLETION OF A FEASIBILITY
STUDY EARLIER ON IN THE PROCESS
WITHOUT THE REQUIREMENT THAT THE
STATE WATER BOARD IS ALREADY
DEMONSTRATED MAJORITY SUPPORT.
OFTEN THIS FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
IS REQUIRED IN ADVANCE FOR
PEOPLE TO MAKE AN INFORMED
DECISION ABOUT WHETHER TO
CONSENT TO DRINKING WATER
SERVICE.
SO JUST FLIPS THAT PROCESS
AROUND IT MAKES A LITTLE MORE
SENSE.
BY MAKING DRINKING WATER
CONSOLIDATION MORE EFFICIENT AND
TRANSPARENT PASSAGE OF AB FIVE
AWAY WILL SUPPORT EFFECTIVE
PROCESSES TO ENSURE THAT HUMAN
RIGHTS WATER IS REALIZED FOR ALL
CALIFORNIA FOUND FAMILIES.
AND WE URGE THE COMMITTEE
SUPPORT THANK YOU MICHAEL THANKS
FOR BEING HERE WE'RE GRATEFUL.
QUESTION GOOD AFTERNOON GOOD
MORNING SUTTER HER NAME HOUSING
POLICY ADVOCATE WITH THE WESTERN
CENTER ON LAW AND POVERTY HERE
IN STRONG SUPPORT.
WE ARE THE FIRST STATE IN THE
NATION TO RECOGNIZE THE HUMAN
RIGHT TO WATER AND WE'VE IT
FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THE
IMPORTANCE OF ACCESS TO CLEAN
DRINKING WATER AND RENTAL
HOUSING THROUGH -- HABITABILITY
LAWS -- WHEN THE LOW INCOME
FAMILIES THAT WE REPRESENT LACK
SAFE DRINKING WATER LACK
INFORMATION ABOUT WHETHER THEY
CAN DRINK OR BATHE WITH THEIR
WATER -- IT CAN LEADS NOT ONLY
ALSO TO HOMELESSNESS JOBLESSNESS
ACADEMIC HARDSHIP.
AND THREATS TO FAMILY AND
COMMUNITY COHESION.
WE'VE SEEN CLIENTS DISPLACED
FROM THEIR HOMES AND COMMUNITIES
DUE TO A LACK OF ACCESS TO CLEAN
WATER AND WE'VE SEEN FAMILIES
STRUGGLE WITH A LACK OF
INFORMATION.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE WATER
SAFE TO DRINK OR BATHE WITH --
OR WHAT STEPS THEY CAN DO.
TO REGAIN ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER
THEY MAY CHOOSE TO BUY COSTLY
BOTTLED WATER.
TAKE WHATEVER MEASURES THEY CAN
COME UP WITH TO PROTECT
THEMSELVES OR POTENTIALLY IF
THEIR HOMES OUT OF FEAR AND
FRUSTRATION.
THESE ARE SIGNIFICANT AND
CONCRETE HARDSHIPS FOR THE
FAMILIES WE REPRESENT GIVING
CALIFORNIA'S HIGH RATE OF
POVERTY AND LACK OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING -- FOR EXAMPLE I WORKED
WITH RESIDENTES EN LOS ANGELES
STRUGGLING WITH DISCOLORED WATER
AND NOT REALLY KNOWING WHERE
THAT PROBLEM IS COMING FROM.
MANY OF THEM WEREN'T BOILING IT
BECAUSE THEY HAD PAST
EXPERIENCES WITH BACTERIAL
CONTAMINANTS -- AND KNEW THAT
WAS A WAY TO TREAT THAT WATER --
BUT BECAUSE THIS WATER WAS
CONTAMINATED WITH LEAD THAT CAN
ACTUALLY CONCENTRATE THAT
CONTAMINANT AND SUBJECT FAMILIES
TO HIGHER RISKS -- SO
INFORMATION REGARDING LOCAL
WATER QUALITY WILL BETTER EQUIP
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES TO
MAKE APPROPRIATE DECISIONS --
AND INFORMATION REGARDING RIGHTS
AND OPTIONS WITH RESPECT TO
CONSOLIDATION WILL EMPOWER THEM
TO ADVOCATE FOR SOLUTIONS AND
BETTER PROTECT THEIR HOMES AND
FAMILIES WE ARE TO SUPPORT THANK
YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH ON BOTH OF
YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY WE NOW
WOULD LIKE TO OPEN IT UP TO
ANYONE.
ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN
SUPPORT FIRST CLASS ORGANIZATION

THE TURN IT OVER THE VICE CHAIR.
THANK YOU MISTER.
WHAT ARE YOU ABOUT THE FACT THAT
WE HAVE A SAFE DRINKING WATER
CONCERNED I'M JUST CONCERNED
ABOUT THE PROCESS I WHAT WHY?
WHY ARE WE OVERLAPPING -- MAY BE
MOVING INTO THE TERRITORY OF
LAUGHTER.
YOU MIGHT I DON'T HAVE THE BUT
EVERY EVERY CREATING A TERRITORY --
FOR HERE OR ARE WE REMAIN BEING
CHARMING.
I I'M JUST CURIOUS.
NO SENATOR NOTICES JUST TO
INFORM THE LANDLORD TENANT.
AND IN THE DISTRICT
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY.
ABOUT THEIR WATER QUALITIES AND
PROVIDE A WAY. FOR THEM -- TO
PETITION FOR CONSOLIDATION OR
EXTENSION OF WATERS.
IT DOES NOT AFTER THE LAUGHTER
PROCESS THAN.
I DON'T THINK A NEW MALL TO
LAUGH CO PRODUCE.
BUT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
INCORPORATING.
IS THE USE OF LAND WERE JUST
TALKING TO VOTE PROVIDING.
WATER.
LARA CONSOLIDATE A SMALL WATER
SYSTEM IF THERE'S A OF OF A
LARGER WATER SYSTEM NEARBY THEY
CAN PROVIDE BETTER QUALITY OF
WATER WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO
WITH SO THAT'S USUALLY JUST ALL
WHEN HE OF THE LAUGHTER -- SO
THAT'S THAT'S WHERE MY CONFUSION
IS MISTER CHURCH WHAT AM I
MISSING IT IS TO LOOK AT THE WAY
IT WILL WORK AND I'LL JUST I'LL
PARAPHRASE IT HERE IS THAT --
PREVIOUS LEGISLATION ALLOW THE
STATE WATER BOARD TO BE ABLE TO-CONSOLIDATE CONSOLIDATE SMALLER
DISTRICTS BECAUSE ALL THE

REPRESENTED BY THE MOST INTIMATE
AND PROXIMATE GOVERNMENT BODIES
UNLIKE STATE LEVEL REDISTRICTING
THERE ARE VERY FEW REQUIREMENTS
GOVERNING CITY.
AND COUNTY REDISTRICTING TO
ENSURE THE PROCESS IS FAIR AND
TRANSPARENT AND THAT THE PUBLIC
AND ESPECIALLY UNDER REPRESENTED
COMMUNITIES ARE ENGAGED IN THE
PROCESS AB.
EIGHT FORTY NINE WILL BRING
TRANSPARENCY AND CREATE CLEAR
STANDARDS FOR CITIES AND
COUNTIES BY EXPANDING
OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION. FOR NON ENGLISH
SPEAKING COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
OTHERWISE ALL TOO OFTEN
OVERLOOKED THIS BILL ENSURES
THAT RDISTRICTING MAPS.
ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC
BEFORE THEY CAN BE ADOPTED AND
ALONG WITH OTHER TRANSPARENCY
MEASURES SETS A MINIMUM OF FOUR
PUBLIC HEARINGS TO ALLOW FOR
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION.
I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THE
LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES AND

OPPOSITION WITH THE RECENT
AMENDMENTS.

THANK YOU CHAIR MEMBERS NICHOLS
HAD ON REPRESENTING CALIFORNIA
COMMON CAUSE WE'RE PROUD CO
SPONSOR AB EIGHT FOUR NINE WHICH
PROVIDES A CRUCIAL SAFETY NET.
AGAINST GERRYMANDERING AND CITY
AND COUNTY REDISTRICTING FERRY
DISSING IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL
AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT
INJURY REPRESENTATIVE AND
INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACY.
MANY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO A GOOD
JOB OF REDUCING UNFORTUNATELY WE
SOMETIMES SEE LOCAL REDUCING
PROCESS ABUSED THE WAY THAT
UNDERMINE REPRESENTATIVE
GOVERNMENT MOST SIGNIFICANTLY BY
CRACKING VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES
BE A RULE COMMUNITIES WORKING
CLASS COMMUNITIES.
OR MINORITY COMMUNITIES IN A WAY
THAT DILUTES THE POWER OF THEIR
VOTE -- AND UNDERMINES LOCAL
POLITICAL KIND BUILDING.
THIS ISN'T SIGNIFICANT PART
BECAUSE UNLIKE LISTING
CONGRESSIONAL REDUCING THEIR
ALMOST NO MANDATORY STANDARDS TO
GUIDE LOCAL REDUCING TO PREVENT
SUCH ABUSE.
AND TO ENSURE DIVERSE
PARTICIPATION THE PROCESS OF FOR
EXAMPLE UNLIKE PRISTINE
CONGRESSIONAL REDUCING THERE'S
NO REQUIREMENT FOR LOCRI
DESTROYING.
THE COMMUNITIES NEIGHBORHOODS BE
KEPT HOLD -- AND WHERE IS THE
STATE COMMISSION MUST ENGAGE IN
EXTENSIVE -- HEARING PROCESS
STATE LAW REQUIRES LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS HOLD JUST ONE PUBLIC
HEARING.
DARTING MAPS AND HAS NO PUBLIC I
REACH REQUIREMENTS AS A RESULT
MANY COMMUNITIES AND SOCIALLY
NON ENGLISH SPEAKING COMMUNITIES
FILL TO PARTICIPATE LOW REDUCING
PROCESS.
MAY NOT EVEN BE AWARE THAT ITS
CURRENT THESE ARE OFTEN I MIGHT
AT THE SAME CONSTITUENCIES THAT
ARE OFTEN STARKLY AND
REPRESENTED AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
AB FOUR NINE JUST PROVIDES
POLICY GARTNER GIRLS TO SELF
WORSE THESE PIECES AND DOS
MENTOR RAIN CRITERIA MODELED OFF
OF THE STATE'S STANDARDS WHICH
PRIORITIZE KEEPING NEIGHBORHOODS
AND COMMUNITIES INTACT.
AND PERMITS PARTISAN
GERRYMANDERING. NINE ALSO
REQUIRES MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN THE
PROCESS -- IS SO DIVERSE
CONSTITUENCIES ESPECIALLY NON
ENGLISH SPEAKING ONES CAN HAVE A
VOICE IN THE REDUCING PROCESS.
TOGETHER WE THINK THESE CHANGES
A PROPOSED MAYBE IT FOUR NINE
WILL CONTRIBUTE TO MORE
REPRESENTATIVE INCLUSIVE AND
KIND OF A LOCAL MARK SEE.
I JUST WANT TO ECHO THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER MENTIONED WITH THE RECENT
STREAMLINING AMENDMENTS.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATIONS
INCLUDING C. SECONDLY HAVE
REMOVED THEIR OPPOSITION THE
BONE GONE TO NEUTRAL I JUST WANT
EXPRESS MY STRONG GRATITUDE. TO
THOSE SENSATIONS WORKING VERY
CLEVER DEFINITELY WITH US TO GET
TO THIS POINT. FOR ALL THESE
REASONS ON BEHALF OF A BROAD
COALITION OF CIVIL RIGHTS AND TO
GOVERN ORGANIZATIONS WE SPOKE
EARLIER TONIGHT.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH WE'RE NOT
RICHARD OR MISS ROSE FROM LEGAL
IN VOTERS TO MORNING CHAIR
REQUIRE THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY.
SO THE CALIFORNIA LEAGUE A
REALLY WAS ONE OF THE LEADERS IN
THE FIGHT FOR STATE LEVEL
INDEPENDENT REDISTRICTING AND
THEN ALL OF THE CRITERIA THAT
INCLUDES.
OUR LOCAL LEAGUES WORK TO ENSURE
THAT LOCAL REDISTRICTING IS
TRANSPARENT THAT PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION IS ROBUST THAT IT
IS MEANINGFUL AND THAT EVERY
COMMUNITY IS ENGAGE SO THAT THAT
LINE DRAWING REALLY RESULT IN.
A FAIR REPRESENTATION OF THE
AREA'S DIVERSITY.
BUT IT IS A SPECIFIC IAN
STRUGGLE WHEN DISTRICT MAPS --
DRAFTED INTRODUCED AND ADOPTED
ALL AT ONCE WITHOUT FIRST BEING
PUBLISHED AND SHARED WITH THE
PUBLIC OR WHEN THERE'S NO HARD
STANDARD REQUIRING THAT CITIES
AND COUNTIES RE DISTRICT WITH A
FOCUS ON KEEPING THOSE
COMMUNITIES INTACT.
WE ARE A MAJORITY MINORITY STATE
BUT WE'RE NOT SEEING THAT
DIVERSITY REPRESENTED IN LOCAL
GOVERNMENT.
SO WE NEED INSTITUTIONALIZE
PUBLIC OUTREACH TO MAKE SURE
THAT THAT LINE DRAWING IS AN
INCLUSIVE EXERCISE WE NEED IT TO
BE ACCESSIBLE TO PEOPLE WHOSE
FIRST LANGUAGE ISN'T ENGLISH
WHICH THIS BILL PROVIDES.
THE WORK THAT WE DID AT THE
STATE LEVEL PROVIDES A REAL
CLEAR NATIONAL STANDARD OF%
EXCELLENCE AND NOW IT'S TIME TO
FIX REDISTRICTING AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL.
IN CITIES AND COUNTIES BY
REQUIRING TRANSPARENCY BY LAYING
OUT FAIR CONSISTENT CRITERIA FOR
THEM TO USE.
WE HOPE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO
JOIN US IN SUPPORTING AB EIGHT
FORTY NINE AND BRING CALIFORNIA
ONE STEP CLOSER TO THAT
REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY THAT WE
ARE ALL LOOKING.
FOR THANK YOU AND THINK THESE
CITIES AND COUNTIES --

THE CITY OF BERKLEY SUPPORTS
ASSEMBLY BILL FOURTEEN EIGHTY

US LEADERSHIP ON THIS BILL.
MY CITY OF TWELVE ABOUT A
HUNDRED AND TWELVE THOUSAND
RESIDENTS.

AFFORDABILITY AND DISPLACEMENT
CRISIS MEDIUM AND SMALL SIZED
CITIES IN THE BAY AREA ARE
FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THE STATE
WHAT HOUSING CRISIS.
AND DESPERATELY NEED ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES TO PRESERVE ADDITION
TO PRESERVE EXISTING HOUSING
PROTECT HANDS FROM DISPLACEMENT
AND BUILD NEW AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THAT'S WHY ASSEMBLY BILL
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SEVEN IS SO
IMPORTANT IT PROVIDES AN
OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A REGIONAL
SOLUTION TO A HOUSING
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS AND PROVIDE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THE NEEDED
FINANCING TO CREATE.
AND PRESERVE AFFORDABLE HOMES
I'M ALSO THE VICE PRESIDENT OF
THE ASSOCIATION OF THEIR
GOVERNMENTS A REGIONAL COUNCIL
OF GOVERNMENTS REPRESENT THE
CITIES AND COUNTIES THROUGHOUT
THE BAY AREA.
HOWEVER I WANT TO CLARIFY NOT
SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE
ASSOCIATION EVENTS THAT.
BOTH THE A BANK EXECUTIVE BOARD
NMTC COMMISSION HAVE ENGAGE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS OVER
THE PAST SIX MONTHS IN
DISCUSSIONS ON LEGISLATION TO
ADDRESS OUR HOUSING CRISIS.
WHAT WE'VE HEARD IS A ESIRE TO
NOT CREATE A NEW BUREAUCRACY?
AND HAVE ROBUST LOCAL GOVERNMENT
INPUT AND HOW FUNDS DERIVED FROM
AB FOURTEEN EIGHTY SEVEN WOULD
BE ALLOCATED.
BOTH THE EIGHT A BACKBOARD AN
ANTI SEE CREATED IN AND OUT
COMMITTEE AS REFERENCE BY.
THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER TO DEVELOP A
SET OF AMENDMENTS THAT REFLECTS
THE INPUT WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THROUGHOUT THE
BAY AREA.
AND THE COMMITTEE INCLUDING
REPRESENTATION FROM CITIES AND
COUNTIES BIG AND SMALL
THROUGHOUT THE BAY AREA.
WE MET EXTENSIVELY OVER THE PAST
MONTHS I SERVE ON THAT AT ALL
COMMITTEE.
WE ROLLED UP OUR SLEEVES AND DUG
INTO THE DETAILS OF THE BILL AND
I'M PLEASED TO SAY THAT WE'VE
REACHED AGREEMENT.
AND MANY KEY POINTS ALL
REFLECTED IN THE CURRENT VERSION
THE BILL WHICH I DO BELIEVE
REFLECT MANY OF THE CONCERNS
THAT WE'VE HEARD.
FROM GOVERNMENTS OF ALL SIZES IN
THE BAY AREA.
WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT OF OUR
OF THE AUTHOR IN THE COMMITTEE
CHAIR TO GET ADDITIONAL TIME TO
WORK WITH A BAG NBC.
DURING THE LEGISLATIVE RECESS WE
CAN BRING BACK UP HILL THAT
ACTUALLY WILL HELP MOVE OUR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS FORD.
AND PROVIDE THE RESOURCES
DESPERATELY NEED FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS WITH THAT I'D BE
HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR EITHER.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AS TO MAYOR
WE'RE GONNA BE HEADING THERE IN
CASE WE HAVE QUESTIONS AS WE
MOVE FORWARD WELCOME GOOD TO SEE
YOU AGAIN.
THE FLOOR IS YOURS YOU HAVE TWO
MINUTES.
HI I'M GIVE THE ROW AND I'M WITH
ENTERPRISE CAN BE PARTNERS AND
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE CO
SPONSORING THIS BILL.
OUR MISSION IS TO CREATE
OPPORTUNITY FOR LOW INCOME
FAMILIES THROUGH AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND LAST YEAR I CO
AUTHORED THIS REPORT IT'S CALLED
THE ELEPHANT IN THE REGION
CHARTING THE PATH FOR BAY AREA
MEASURE TO LEAD A BOLD HOUSING
AGENDA.
AND IN THIS REPORT WE LOOKED AT
HOW OTHER REGIONS IN THE ACT AND
THE COUNTRY OR ADDRESSING THEIR
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS.
AND FOR REGIONS THAT ARE DOING
IT WELL.
THERE'S TWO KEY FINDINGS ONE IS
THAT THERE'S THE INFRASTRUCTURE
AND IT'S BUILT ON ASSIST
SUFFICIENT FUNDING AND THE
CAPACITY TO ADMINISTER EFFECTIVE
PROGRAMS.
AND SO WE'RE INVESTED IN THIS
BILL BECAUSE IT IS ACTUALLY THE
FIRST STEP TO BUILDING THE
HOUSING INFRASTRUCTURE -- TO
RIGHT NOW WE RELY ON LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS TO SOLVE THE
ENTIRE REGIONS HOUSING CRISIS.
AND AS WE'VE HEARD SO MANY OF
OUR LOCAL JURISDICTIONS ARE --
THE BEEN LEFT ESSENTIALLY ANY
MAKE AFTER THE DISSOLUTION OF
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCIES THEY
DON'T HAVE FUNDING THE STAFFING
NOR DO THEY REALLY HAVE THE
EXPERTISE.
AND SO THIS IS A BILL THIS IS A
BILL THAT WILL HELP THESE
JURISDICTIONS IT'S ALL CARROTS.
AND SO WE'VE BEEN ENGAGING
SEVERAL CITIES IN THE BAY AREA
AND THEY'VE ACTUALLY CAME UP
WITH THESE EXAMPLES OF HOW A
REGIONAL APPROACH CAN HELP THEM.
THE NEXT JUST NATURAL DISASTER
HITS REGIONAL RESOURCES CAN
SWIFTLY BUILD REBUILD HOMES AND
COMMUNITIES.
CAN PROVIDE THE CRITICAL GAP
FUNDING NEEDED FOR TEO DE
DEVELOPMENTS AND SERVICE AND
RICH HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS.
AND IT CAN -- PROVIDE HOUSING
EXPERTISE TO CREATE EFFECTIVE
RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR
THOSE FAMILIES THAT ARE
THREATENED BY DISPLACEMENT.
AND SO IT'S JUST SIMPLY A SET OF
TOOLS IT'S A WAY FOR BEAR Và
BAY AREA VOTERS. TO RAISE FUNDS
AND TO ADDRESS THE WORST HOUSING

THANK YOU VERY MUCH -- SENATOR
MCGUIRE AND THANK YOU OFFER
ALLOW ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK
MY NAME IS PAT ACKLAND.
AND I SERVE ON THE NEVADA CITY
COUNCIL AND I'VE BEEN SERVING IN
THAT CAPACITY FOR OVER TWENTY
FOUR YEARS.
AND I'VE SERVED AS MAYOR SIX
YEARS BECAUSE WE ROTATE LIKE
MOST CITIES IN CALIFORNIA.
I ALSO SERVE ON THE A BAG
EXECUTIVE BOARD.
AND I ALSO AND PAST PRESIDENT OF
THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES.
I'M SPEAKING TODAY -- ON MY OWN
BEHALF AND FOR ALL THOSE OTHER
ELECTED OFFICIALS IN CITIES THAT
ARE OPPOSED.
TO FOURTEEN EIGHTY SEVEN AND LET
ME TELL YOU FUNDAMENTALLY WHY --
A AND I SUPPORT THIS EXTRA TIME
BUT I'M GONNA NEED YOUR HELP.
THIS LEGISLATION IS
FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED IN MY
OPINION.
WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER.
YET ANOTHER REGIONAL AGENCY --
THE BAG HAS THE AUTHORITY AND
HAS BEEN WORKING ON HOUSING. FOR
OVER. FIFTY YEARS SINCE IT WAS
FORMED IN.
NINETEEN SIXTY ONE MTC IS THE
TRANSPORTATION AGENCY WHAT
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SEVEN DOES.
IS IT TAKES THE STORY OF HOUSING
AWAY FROM A BAG AND GIVES IT TO
MTC AND THAT IS WRONG.
A BAG IS THE COUNCIL OF
GOVERNMENTS FOR WE HAVE MEMBERS
HUNDRED AND ONE CITIES AND THE
NINE COUNTIES ARE ALL MEMBERS OF
A BAG THEY PAY DUES THE PAY
MEMBERSHIP.
AND THEY GET SERVICE BACK.
THERE IS WRONG THERE'S A YOUR
STAFF REPORT IS WRONG IN SEVERAL
PLACES AND I'M GOOD IF IN THIS
IS FOCUSING ON ADEQUATE
REPRESENTATION OF CITIES.
MTC STARTED KASA.
THEY STARTED CAST A DECEMBER
TWENTY SIXTEEN WITHOUT A BAGS
KNOWLEDGE. FOR INVOLVEMENT.
WHY DO I KNOW BECAUSE I WAS AT
THAT M. T. C. HEARING?
AND I WAS SHOCKED VERY
DISAPPOINTED.
THE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE AND THE
STEERING COMMITTEE MEMBERS WERE
ALL SELECTED BY MTC A BAG HAD NO.
THE WORDY OR INPUT ON WHO WAS
REPRESENTING -- FOLKS IN FACT ON
THE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE THERE'S
TWO STAFF MEMBERS SAN FRANCISCO.
AND OAKLAND NO SMALL CITIES.
ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE.
THERE WERE -- SMALL CITY ELECTED
OFFICIALS AND BIG ONES BUT
UNFORTUNATELY THEY DID NOT SPEAK
FOR CITIES.
CITIES WERE NOT INFORMED OF
CASTLE FOR OVER TWO YEARS.
THROUGH THIS WHOLE EFFORT CITIES
WERE NOT TOLD WHAT WAS GOING ON
SO CITIES HAVE NOT BEEN
ADEQUATELY REPRESENTED FROM THE
VERY BEGINNING AND I'M SO GLAD
TO HEAR.
THAT YOU'RE GONNA PUT A PAUSE ON
THIS BUT I WANTED TO CALL YOUR
ATTENTION TO THE SIGNATURE PAGE.
THE SIGNATURE PAGE ON THE SECOND
PAGE HAS.
NO CITY REPRESENTED SEPARATE
CITY REPRESENTATIVES.
THEY'RE ALL SUPERVISORS.
THAT HAVE SIGNED THIS LETTER.
I'M A BAG EXECUTIVE BOARD HAS
NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THIS GROUP
THAT HAS BEEN FORMED BETWEEN MTC
IN A BAG.
ON LOOKING AT FOURTEEN EIGHTY
SEVEN WE HAVE NOT BEEN INFORMED
I'M ON THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE.
MEETING ON FRIDAY WE HAVE NOT
EVEN BEEN TOLD THAT A SEPARATE
GROUP HAS BEEN FORMED.
LET ME GIVE YOU AN AND I DON'T
KNOW IF THERE'S ADEQUATE CITY
REPRESENTATION BECAUSE LET ME
GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE THEY JUST
FORMED.
A BAG JUST FORMED -- INSERTED
MTC THE COMMITTEE THAT'S GOING
TO LOOK AT THE GOVERNANCE.
THEY HAVE EIGHT SUPERVISORS.
THEY HAD THREE CITY
REPRESENTATIVES AND THEN NICK.
NECK USED TO BE ON PARTY WAS
ELECTED OFFICIAL HE IS NO LONGER
AN ELECTED OFFICIAL ANY SERVICE
ON MTC AS THE MAYOR'S
REPRESENTATIVE FROM SAN
FRANCISCO. THIRTY SECONDS WE
HAVE A HUNDRED WHEN CITIES IS
THREE CITY REPRESENTATIVES ON
THE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE
ADEQUATE NO.
AND THEY ARE NOT PUTTING PEOPLE
WHO HAVE DIFFERENCES OF OPINION
ON THESE COMMITTEES.
AND SO I IMPLORE.
THIS COMMITTEE AND YOUR
LEADERSHIP.
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S
ADEQUATE CITY REPRESENTATION AND
THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENCES OF
OPINION ON THESE COMMITTEES.
ARE YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
DIVIDE THE CITIES AND THE
COUNTIES.
IN OUR BAY AREA.
I HAVE A LOT MORE TO SAY ON
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SEVEN BUT THAT.
HE AYE WE NED YOUR HELP.
THEY'RE NOT PUTTING PEOPLE WITH
DIFFERENCES OF OPINION ON THESE
COMMITTEES AND AS A CONSEQUENCE --
IT.
I HAVE BEEN IN GOVERNMENT ALMOST
ALL MY LIFE WORK FOR THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT FOR FORTY THREE YEARS
SEVEN MONTHS IN ELEVEN DAYS.
I WORKED FOR THIRTY FIVE YEARS
WITH THE EPA WHERE I HELP
IMPLEMENT FEDERAL AND STATE LAW.
I DID COMBINED THE I. S. C. I.
OURS SO I KNOW GOVERNMENT IN I
HAVE A PASSION FOR GOVERNMENT.
BUT WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW
WITH A BAG NMTC.
IS IS NOT APPROPRIATE WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE DIFFERENCES OF OPINION
ARE ENGAGED IN THE DISCUSSION
AND THAT'S THAT'S WHAT'S
HAPPENING THANK YOU SO MUCH
COUNCIL AND WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL --
BEFORE WE TURNED OVER TO MISTER
WOLF QUICKLY SO.
WHAT?
ARE YOU SEE ANY NEED SAID MT
SEEING A BAG HAVE FORMED THIS
JOINT AD HOC.
THAT JOINT AD HOC -- IS BEING
CHAIRED BY MISTER PER DROZ --
FROM THE COUNTY NAPA THE A BAG
REPRESENTATIVES ON THIS AD HOC
IS AT MAYOR AGAIN.
FROM THE CITY BERKELEY --
SUPERVISOR CHAVEZ FROM SANTA
CLARA.
I SUPERVISOR CONNELLY FROM MARIN --
JULIE PIERCE WHO IS FROM THE
CLAYTON CITY COUNCIL.
HI DAVID RABBIT CINEMA
SUPERVISOR IN A WORN SLOCUM.
WHO IS A SAN MATTEO SUPERVISOR
WE ALSO FROM MTC HAVE A
REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE RING TO
CITY COUNCIL -- IS WELL.
ON THEIR ALONG WITH CHEN
SPEARING THE SLOT OF SUPERVISORS
I THINK THAT THAT THAT GIVES IT
THE PERFECT EXAMPLE WHAT THAT
THERE'S NOT ADEQUATE CITY
REPRESENTATION THERE'S A HUNDRED
AND ONE CITIES AND NINE COUNTIES.
AND THERE'S NO DIFFERENCES OF
OPINION ON THAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH COUNCILMAN AND
I'M HAPPY TO SIT BACK DOWN OR
SIT DOWN WITH YOU IN I HAVE A
FURTHER CONVERSATION RETURN OVER
MISTER WOLF -- FOR OPPOSITION.
I THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
I'LL BE BRIEF DAVID WILL FOR THE
HER JERVIS TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION
OPPOSED TAT.
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SEVEN MEMBERS I
DO UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE HERE
VERY CAR I GREW UP IN MARIN
COUNTY AND I'M ACTUALLY A
GRADUATE OF CINEMA STATE
UNIVERSITY.
SO I DO I DO ABSOLUTELY
UNDERSTAND BAY AREA HOUSING AND
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE THERE IS
FUNDAMENTALLY A HOUSING CRISIS
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ONE
THIRD OF RENTERS SPEND HALF OF
THEIR TAKE HOME PAY.
ON RENT WE NEED A HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY THOUSAND UNITS OF THE
HOUSING YEAR TO KEEP PACE WITH
DEMAND LAST YEAR WE BUILT A
HUNDRED AND TEN OVER THE COURSE
OF HISTORY.
THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN FOUR YEARS
OUT OF THE LAST TWENTY WERE
REBUILT AT LEAST A HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY THOUSAND UNITS OF NEW
HOUSING WE ARE WELL WELL BEHIND
THE CURVE ON THIS.
BUT TO GET AHEAD OF THE CURVE.
BY AUTHORIZING NEW PERSONAL
TAXES WHEN ONLY 30% OF
CALIFORNIANS CAN AFFORD A MEDIAN
PRICED HOME.
MEMBERS IS NOT GOING TO GET IT
DONE NOW WE ARE OPPOSED TO THE
BILL IN PRINT AND OBVIOUSLY I
UNDERSTAND.
YOU KNOW WE'RE PUTTING THIS ON
HOLD FOR A BIT AND WE HAVE A LOT
OF THINGS GOVERNANCE ISSUES TO
WORK THROUGH I UNDERSTAND THAT
APPRECIATIVE OF THAT THANKFUL
FOR THAT I'M ANXIOUS TO SEE HOW
IT ALL WORKS OUT.
BUT AGAIN ONE THIRD OF ONLY ONE
THIRD OF CALIFORNIANS CAN FORTY
MEDIAN PRICE TIMER AGGRESSIVE
PERSONAL TAXES ARE NOT THE WAY
TO GET THAT DONE.
SO -- CERTAINLY ASK FOR A NO
VOTE ON THE BILL AS ITS IMPRINT
AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING
TO WORK WITH EVERYONE.
YOU SO MUCH MISTER WOLF OF WE'RE
GONNA TURN IT OVER TO MISTER
JONES IN OPPOSITION YES MISTER
CHAIRMAN MEMBER DAVID JONES ON
BEHALF OF THE MARIN COUNTY --
CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS IN MERS
CAUCUS -- WE SHARE THE CONCERNS
OF THE COUNCIL WOMAN ON
GOVERNMENT SPECIFICALLY --
CREATING ANOTHER LAYER OF
GOVERNMENT IS PROBLEMATIC FOR US
LACK OF STABLE FUNDING FOR THE
EXISTING STAFF.
AT A BAG IN TO SEE TO DO THIS
TASK SO WE HAVE A CONCERNS ALSO
ABOUT CROWDING OUT OF OUR TAXES
IF WE HAVE ONE IN C. RAISING
TAXES IN AN AREA.
THE LOCAL AND HE MIGHT HAVE LESS
OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE TAXES IF
THEY SO WE NEEDED TO DO SO SO
FOR THOSE REASONS WE JOIN IN
OPPOSITION.
BUT WE ALSO APPLAUD THE PAUSE
BUTTON WE THINK THEY'RE THEY'RE
OBVIOUSLY NEEDS A LOT MORE TIME
FOR DIALOGUE.
HAVE MORE OF A CONSENSUS SO
THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH
JONES. FOR THE MORNING.
GOOD MORNING MICHAEL BARNES
MEMBER OF THE ALBANY CITY
COUNCIL SPEAKING FOR MYSELF.
YES THANK YOU FOR HITTING THE
PAUSE BUTTON I APPRECIATED I DO
WANT TO OBJECT TO WHAT IS
TRANSPIRED SO FAR.
AND THE NOTION THAT THE BAY AREA
IS THE EPICENTER OF THIS HOUSING
CRISIS THAT IS REALLY NOT TRUE
THE BAY AREA IN MANY WAYS
BECAUSE IT'S HIGH SALARIES IS
BETTER OFF.
THAN MANY OF THE OTHER COUNTIES
IN THE STATE LA COUNTY ORANGE
COUNTY WOULD BE BETTER EXAMPLES
OF PROBLEM OF STREET.
WITH THERE'S DEEP PROBLEMS.
SECONDLY A MTC IS.
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION I'VE
NEVER DONE HOUSING I AM BAFFLED
WHY IN T. C. WOULD WANT TO STEP
INTO A AN AREA IN WYOMING WOULD
WANT THEM TO STEP INTO AN AREA
FOR WHICH THEY HAVE NO EXPERTISE.
MEMBER OF A CITY COUNCIL A SMALL
CITY WE ARE WORKING CURRENTLY TO
DEVELOP AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING
UNIT IN OUR TOWN I DO RESENT THE
IMPLICATION THAT.
OUR STAFF IS NOT COMPETENT AND
WE ARE NOT ABLE TO WORK ON THESE
ISSUES.
WE HAVE A VERY COMPETENT STAFF
WE ARE MOVING AHEAD ON
AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
FRANKLY I THINK IN DC IS GOING
TO BE AN IMPEDIMENT.
WE WOULD MUCH PREFER THAT THIS
GET FOCUSED AT THE STATE LEVEL.
WE HAVE POSITIVE WORKING
RELATIONSHIPS WITH EACH CD AND
WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE
EMPHASIS WITH H. CD.
THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING HERE TODAY WOULD LIKE TO
BE RECEIVED AS ANYONE ELSE WHO
WOULD LIKE TO BE TO SPEAK IN
OPPOSITION TO COULD PLEASE COME
FOR THIS TIME.
IT'S BRING IT BACK TO COMMITTEE
FOR ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS AGAIN I JUST WANNA MAKE
SURE THAT WE LAY THIS OUT.
CORRECTLY HE THE AD HOC WAS
SELECTED -- ON BEHALF OF BOTH IN
DC IN A BAG.
THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO ME
TO BE ABLE TO FOCUS.
THEY WILL BE MAKING
RECOMMENDATIONS. TO EACH OF THE
TWO BOARDS BOTH A BAG AS WELL AS
IN DC.
IN THIS WILL ALLOW FOR
ADDITIONAL TIME TO BE ABLE TO
FLUSH OUT THE PROPOSAL HERE IN
THE COMING THIRTY TO FORTY DAYS.
AND MY UNDERSTANDING WE DO HAVE
THE MEMBERSHIP HERE.
THEY'VE BEEN VERY FOCUSED ON THE
REPRESENTING THE REGION'S AT THE
BAY AREA UNDERSTAND WHERE THAT
COUNCILMAN HUSSEIN IS.
THERE MAY BE A MORE SUPERVISORS
AND COUNCILMEMBERS BUT THE
REGIONS OF THE BAY AREA.
HAVE BEEN FOCUSED ON ON THIS
ISSUE AS WELL THE TURN IT OVER --
FOR ANY AT SOMEONE WOULD YOU
HAVE TO BE A COMMON JUST WANNA
MAKE IT A COUPLE BECOME IS FIRST
OF ALL TO THE COUNCIL AND I KNOW
YOU CONTACT OUR OFFICE JUST THE
OTHER DAY AND WE HAVE BEEN IN
TOUCH OVER EMAIL BUT I AM MORE
THAN HAPPY TO SIT.
DOWN WITH YOU TO DISCUSS THIS
FURTHER.
THERE ARE FEW THINGS THAT YOU
SAID I JUST WANT TO START THE
CONVERSATION.
FIRST OF ALL -- THIS IS NOT A
CASA BILL CASA DOESN'T EXIST
ANYMORE THIS IS A BILL BECAUSE
MANY WAS.
EVE THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
THERE BE REGIONAL RESPONSE TO
THE CRISIS AND AND SO I WANT TO
SAY THAT.
THEY ARE ALSO BETTER AS YOU CAN
IAGINE A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS
WITH A BAG AND THE M. T. C. AT
THIS POINT AS THE GERAN JUST
MENTION.
THERE'S A JOINT COMMITTEE BUT I
ALSO MENTION THAT THE INITIAL
SKETCH OF AMENDMENTS THAT WE ARE
CONTEMPLATING TO MOVE FORWARD
HOPEFULLY IN A MONTH CONTEMPLATE
A VERY SIGNIFICANT ROLE FOR THE
LEADERSHIP OF A BAG.
MOVING FORWARD AND AND I'M HAPPY
TO DEFER -- TO ARE BERKELEY
MAYOR ON THAT QUESTION BUT I
WANT TO MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR THE
THE ROLE. FOR A BAG AS FAR AS
DEVELOPING POTENTIAL PROPOSALS
AROUND EXPENDITURE AROUND THE
PROGRAMMING OF THAT FUND AROUND
EXPECTED HOW THE MONEY IS REYES
AND HOW THE MONEY IS SPENT.
VERY MUCH CONTEMPLATES A
SIGNIFICANT ROLE FOR A BAG SO I
I WANT TO SAY THAT -- AND THEN --
THERE WAS A SUGGESTION THAT
SOMEHOW WE ARE NOT ENGAGING WITH
THE VERY COMPETENT STAFF OF A
BAG.
COULD NOT DISAGREE WITH THAT
MORE IN FACT I HAD A MEETING
WITH A BAG STAFF A WEEK AGO ON
THIS VERY TOPIC.
I AM VERY MUCH RESPECT THE
LEADERSHIP OF OF A BACK -- TO TO
THE MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE
WHO ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE
SPECIFIC GOVERNANCE OF A BAG IN
THE EMPTY EMPTY SAY I'LL JUST
LAY OUT WHY THIS HAS BEEN
DIFFICULT.
SO INITIALLY WE PROPOSE THERE TO
BE A REGIONAL AGENCY AND WHAT WE
HAD HEARD BOTH IT'S FROM A BAG
AN MTC WAS THERE ARE TWO
REGIONAL AGENCIES ALREADY WHY DO
WE NEED A THIRD.
AND SO IT IS CONTEMPLATED RATHER
THAN CREATING AN ENTIRELY NEW
REGIONAL AGENCY THAT WE HAVE
PASSED ANTI SEEN A BACK TO WORK
TOGETHER. TO FIGURE OUT HOW
COLLECTIVELY THOSE TWO BODIES
CAN TAKE ON THE RESPONSIBILITIES
THAT WE NEED TO MOVE THIS
FORWARD.
SO THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE
OF HOW WE'RE DOING THIS BUT I
SHOULD ALSO SAY AS YOU KNOW.
M. T. C. IS VIEWED AS A BODY
IT'S A REGIONAL BODY -- BUT
BECAUSE THERE APPEARS TO BE A
HEAVY AWAY FROM FROM LARGER
CITIES THAT HAS CREATED A RACKED
REACTION FROM SOME OF THE
SMALLER AND SUBURBAN CITIES.
LIKE WISE BECAUSE THE MTC AND
HOW IT'S STRUCTURED TYPICALLY
HAVING ONE VOTE PER CITY IT IS
VIEWED AS BEING MORE
REPRESENTATIVE FOR SMALLER AND
SUBURBAN CITIES AND SO WHAT
WE'VE TRIED TO DO WITH THIS BILL.
IS TO REALLY ASK BOTH BODIES TO
WORK TOGETHER.
IN MOVING THIS FORWARD AND AS
YOU KNOW BOTH ANTI SEEN A BAG
ARE HAVING A CONVERSATION AS WE
SPEAK ABOUT HOW TO DO BETTER
WORK TOGETHER SO THAT IS REALLY.
THE INTENT OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING
TO DO HAVING ONE BODY OR THE
OTHER DICTATE FUNDING WOULD BE
LIKE SUGGESTING THAT IN THIS
CASE THE SENATE THE U. S. SENATE.
OUGHT TO DECIDE FUNDING FOR
CALIFORNIA BECAUSE IT HAS ONE OR
TWO VOTES PER STATE.
THAT THAT HAS CREATED A LITTLE
BIT OF REACTION FROM FROM SOME
CITIES THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT IS
JUST HAVING HOUSE DICTATE THAT
WOULD MAKE SENSE SO AGAIN WE'VE
SAID TO AIM TO SEEN A BACK CAN
CAN THE TWO AGENCIES WORK
TOGETHER.
THAT HAS TAKEN SOME TIME BUT MY
HOPE IS AND I'M A VERY -- AGAIN
NOT JUST APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK
OF YOU ANOTHER -- LOCAL
LEGISLATORS BUT THE FEEDBACK
FROM ALL OF THE REPRESENTATIVES
OF EIGHT AND A BAG AN MTC ON
THIS THIS WILL MAKE THE BILL
BETTER AND THAT IS OUR HOPE OVER
THE NEXT MONTH THAT WE
INCORPORATE THAT FEEDBACK SO
LOOK FOR TO WORKING WITH YOU ON
THAT.
I DON'T KNOW MAY HAVE MAYORIF
YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO
ADD A NEW ONE WANT TO GET BACK
TO THE COMMITTEE AS AS SOON AS
WE CAN THANK YOU SO MUCH MISTER
MAYOR QUICKLY AND THEN WE'D LIKE
TO TURN OVER TO MY SENATOR ABOUT.
SO I JUST WANNA CLARIFY
INITIALLY WITH BILL SUPPOSE I
DIDN'T SUPPORT CREATING A NEW
BUREAUCRACY I THOUGHT IT WAS
APPROPRIATE THAT A BAG OR MTC.
TAKE ON THIS ROLE OF RUNNING
THIS NEW REGIONAL HOUSING
FINANCE AGENCY THAT WAS THE OVER
RIDING CONCERN THAT WE'VE HEARD.
FROM CITIES OF ALL SIZES THE BAY
AREA AND THE BILL AMENDMENTS
THAT WE WORKED OUT.
THE AUTHORS ACCEPTED WOULD HAVE
A JOINT RESPONSIBILITY FOR BOTH
A BAG NMTC TO MAKE DECISIONS ON
THE EXPENDITURE PLAN.
ON THE ACTUAL ALLOCATION FOR
PROJECTS THIS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT
WE DO AROUND OUR SUSTAINABLE
COMMUNITY STRATEGY PLAN BAY AREA
WE'RE BOTH AGENCIES WORK
TOGETHER TO DEVELOP THE REGIONAL
LAND USE PLAN.
SO I THINK THIS PRESIDENT WE YOU
KNOW WE ARE WORKING TOGETHER AND
THERE'S GONNA BE A MUCH BROADER
CONVERSATION ON SHARED REGIONAL
GOVERNANCE IN THE COMING MONTHS
AND YEARS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AS MAYOR IF I
COULD TURN OVER CONVERSATION IN
THE WALL -- I KNOW THAT MS
SECOND WOULD LIKE ME TO SAY A
FEW WORDS PRIOR -- TO CLOSING --
IT WITH MR CHIU LET'S HAVE THE
COMMITTEE DANCING COMMENTS
QUESTIONS CENTER ABOUT.
WELL AS A MEMBER OF THE
COMMITTEE FROM THE BAY AREA
LET'S BE VERY INVOLVED IN THE
DISCUSSIONS SO -- GENERALLY --
OF FROM SAN JOSE'S PERSPECTIVE --
WE SEE -- A LOT OF HOUSING
BUILDING SAN JOSE THIS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
AND A LOT OF WORK DONE OVER THE
LAST SEVERAL DECADES.
BUT WE SEE OUR REMAINING
NEIGHBORS NOT PRODUCING -- I'LL
JUST SAY.
THEIR FAIR SHARE.
OR OR OR ACTIVELY ENCOURAGING
THE BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
SO IT'S KIND OF LONG STANDING --
PROBLEM.
AND I THINK THAT HAVING A
REGIONAL OF KIND OF APPROACH.
MIGHT BE ONE WAY OF SOLVING THAT
THAT ISSUE.
MY MY PARTICULAR VIEW IS THAT --
OF THE CONDUCT OF THE
LEGISLATORS SHOULD BE.
YEAH WE GOT TO DO IT THE HARD
WAY FOLKS.
THE HARDWARE IS KIND OF LIKE HOW
WE DID REGIONAL MEASURE.
THREE WHICH WAS.
AS ALWAYS ALL THE BERRY
LEGISLATORS KNOW VERY DIFFICULT
TO GET.
THE CONSENSUS AMONG THE BAY AREA
LET LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION.
ARE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY.
AROUND THE BAY THE NINE COUNTY --
CONGESTION MANAGEMENT AGENCIES
AND ALL.
OF THE COUNTY -- AREAS INCLUDING
YOURS -- MADAM COUNCILMAN -- TO
SUPPORT THE THE REGIONAL MEASURE
THREE THE GOT PLACED ON THE
BALLOT.
AS SUCCESSFULLY VOTED ON IN THE
BAY AREA WHEN WE PUT THAT ON THE
BALLOT.
IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL AND I
THINK IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL AS
YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS BECAUSE
YOU WORKED ON IT VERY HARD WITH
ME.
AND SIR MCGUIRE AND CENTER
WINNER AND EVERYBODY ELSE WAS
VERY SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE WE WORK
SO WE DID THAT PREP WORK THAT
WAS SO DIFFICULT.
THE TWO YET -- SOME PEOPLE SAID
IS LIKE HERDING FERAL CATS YOU
KNOW WITH THE BAY AREA POLITICS
BUT BUT WE HAVE TO DO IT WE HAVE
TO KIND OF WORK TOGETHER.
AND BRING OURSELVES TOGETHER BUT
I BUT I BELIEVE I BELIEVE
STRONGLY.
THERE ARE A REGIONAL
[inaudible]
HOUSING ORGANIZATION.
COULD BE AS SIMPLE ORGANIZATION
BECAUSE IF YOU'RE FOCUSING ON
JUST BUILDING A HOUSING.
GETTING A HOUSING PROGRAMS GOING
JUST YOU KNOW KEEP KEEP IT
SIMPLE -- I TAKE -- WE CAN BE
VERY SUCCESSFUL AND HAVING A AND
A MEDIA TO IMPACT ON ON
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE BAY
AREA WHICH WE SO DESPERATELY
NEED.
IT'S IT'S IT'S PROBABLY THE
MAJOR REASON WHY.
OUR ECONOMY COULD LAG IN THE BAY
AREA.
IS BECAUSE A LACK OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IT'S IT'S IT'S WE'RE AT
WE'RE AT A POINT WERE OF PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO START LOSING THEIR
JOBS AND BUSINESSES ARE GOING TO
START TO LEAVE.
AND WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THIS
ISSUE FROM THE REGIONAL
PERSPECTIVE THAT'S WHY SUPPORT
THIS BILL -- GOING FORWARD AND
HAVING TO CONTINUE DISCUSSION IS
GOING TO BE SO IMPORTANT.
THAT -- OF IT'S IT'S NOT ABOUT --
IT'S NOT ABOUT US IT'S ABOUT
THEM I KEEP TELLING MYSELF
THAT'S ONE OF MY SAYINGS I GIVE
MY STAFF IS NOT ABOUT US.
MEETING OUR PAROCHIAL INTEREST
OR WHATEVER OUR PROPUBLICA ABOUT
THEM IT'S ABOUT WHO WE SERVE IN
THE PEOPLE WE SERVE.
AND I THINK WE HAVE TO BE BE --
STRONGLY WORKING WITH ALL THE
COLLEAGUES IT MAYBE HAVE
DIFFERENT OPINIONS AND IT WAS
DIFFICULT MEMBER ARM THREE WAS
VERY DIFFICULT.
REMEMBER THAT -- YEAH.
YEAH THAT MEETING RIGHT OKAY SO
I HAD TO KIND OF PUT THE HAMMER
DOWN A FEW TIMES.
YES YOU DID YEAH AREN'T NOW
WHERE ELSE SOMETIMES WE GO DO
THAT YOU KNOW BUT AS THOSE OF A
PERSON THAT SERVED ON ANTI SEE
FOR TWENTY ONE YEARS AND YOU
KNOW I THINK IN TO SEE CAN
TRANSFORM AND MAYOR TO THE THE
CARD ORGANIZATION WOULD BE
REALLY HELPFUL. TO YOUR
COMMUNITY THAT CAN HELP MAKE
YOUR COMMUNITY A BETTER PLACE TO
LIVE FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS.
AND HAVE THE HOUSING FOR THE
PEOPLE THAT WORK IN YOUR
COMMUNITY.
PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW THE DO THE
WORK THAT ARE.
MOVING OUT AND CAUSING A LOT OF
AIR POLLUTION BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
FIND AFFORDABLE.
HOUSING AND OUR OWN PLACES WHERE
THEY CLOSE WHERE THEY WORK SO.
SO I THINK -- IT'S AN
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AS WELL AS
ECONOMIC ISSUE AND A KIND OF A
HUMAN RIGHTS ISSUE SO -- I I
SUPPORTED -- THE GERMAN.
FROM THE ASSEMBLY AND EVERYBODY
ELSE -- WORKING ON THIS --
OVERVIEW STRONGLY WORKING ON
THIS OVER THE SUMMER WE HAVE TO
GET THIS JOB DONE.
THIS IS A CRITICAL ISSUE THAT WE
HAVE TO HAVE FOR THE BAY AREA.
WE CONSERVING EXAM OUT AS AN
EXAMPLE OF OTHER.
OTHER AREAS IN THE STATE --
WORKING TOGETHER -- AND I KNOW
WE CAN DO A GOOD JOB IN PULLING
THIS TOGETHER SO I'LL BE HAPPY
TO OF SUPPORTERS.
AND SUPPORTS -- MY EFFORTS TO
FORGE A CONSENSUS WITH YOU AND
THE WORK YOU'RE DOING -- OF A
MISTER CHAIRMAN FOR GETTING TO
BURY IT TOGETHER ON THIS I'LL DO
ANYTHING I CAN HELP YOU ON THAT
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AS CENTER
BALLOT IN WE LOOK FORWARD TO
PARTNERING SENATOR BAIL HEARING
CENTER WIENER.
OVER THE SUMMER WORK PERIOD AND
OF COURSE THE DECEMBER TWO
MEMBERS OF A BAG MEMBERS NTC TO
BE ABLE.
TO GET THIS RIGHT.
SOME NUMBER TWO WOULD YOU LIKE
TO GET A RESPONSE.
THE NOT SO THAT IT WOULD YOU
LIKE ME TO CLOSE OR ARE YOU THIS
IS A CLOSER NO JUST WHEN YOU SEE
I HAVE A FEW NO I AGAIN I'M JUST
VERY GRATEFUL THE CENTRE BELL

US TO ADDRESS OUR REGIONAL.
CHALLENGES AND APPRECIATE YOUR
SUPPORT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ALSO CLOSING
COMMENTS IT'LL TURN TO RESCIND
THE VIRTUE FOR HIS CLOSING
COMMENTS BUT PLEASE CANCEL WOULD
YOU LIKE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE.
ANY FINAL COMMENTS PLEASE YEAH
FOR SO I WANTED TO THANK YOU ALL
FOR PUTTING THE POTS ON THIS AND
I WANT TO THANK ASSEMBLYMAN CHIU
FOR REACHING OUT -- AND I STILL
THINK IN ORDER FOR US TO WORK
TOGETHER.
A BAG MTC HAS TO INCLUDE.
INDIVIDUALS AND ELECTED
OFFICIALS.
HAVE DIFFERENCES OF OPINION.
BECAUSE THE STRENGTH OF THE
DECISION AT THE END IS A LOT
STRONGER WHEN YOU HAVE.
OF VOICES ON ALL SIDES.
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING
WHAT TO ADD PROGRESS TO MAKE --
AND YOU MAY BE SEEING ME IN A
MONTH.
NO ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU SO MUCH
AS WOMEN ARE GREAT FOR THE
YOU'RE HERE AS WELL AND FOR ALL
OF YOUR WORK IN MANY MANY YEARS
OF WORK THAT YOU PUT IN.
I'LL JUST BOTTOM LINE IT HERE WE
KNOW THAT THERE IS A LOT OF WORK
AHEAD -- BUT WHAT I WILL SAY IF
FOUNDATION HAS BEEN LAID I AM
GRATEFUL TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT HAVE ADVANCING ALL
CHARACTERIZES RECOMMENDATIONS AS
PULMONARY.
AS THOSE ULTIMATELY HAVE TO BE
BLESSED BY THE LEGISLATIVE
COMMITTEE -- AND THEN ULTIMATELY
EACH OF THE BOARDS.
AND WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW IS
THIS WHATWOULD HAPPEN TODAY WE
WOULD PASS THE AMENDED BILL THE
MINUTE BILL WOULD GO TO
APPROPRIATIONS WHAT WE WOULD
HOPE THAT BILL WOULD.
BE PASSED EVER APPROPRIATIONS
AND THEN ON TO THE SENATE FLOOR
WE WOULD IN MAINE ON THE SENATE
FLOOR.
AFTER WE SEE FINAL
RECOMMENDATIONS IT WOULD BE
COMING BACK FROM THIS JOINT AD
HOC MADE UP OF BOTH MTC IS WELL
AS A BAG MEMBERS.
WE WOULD THEN HAVE SECONDARY
HEARINGS INTO POLICY COMMITTEES
BOTH HOUSING AS WELL AS
GOVERNANCE AND FINANCE TO THE

PRETTY CLOSE TO BEING RIGHT.
END.
IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME ADDITIONAL
TIME WHICH IS WHY WE'RE HERE
TODAY AND I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THE HARD WORK OF THIS AND NUMBER.
TWO NUMBER TWO IS NOT AFRAID TO
BE ABLE TO PUT HIS NECK OUT AND
GET INVOLVED IN SOME OF THE
TOUGHEST ISSUES.
THAT THE STATE IN OUR REGION IS
GRAPPLING WITH I WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE HIM -- AND WHAT A
GREAT PARTNER HE IS TO WORK WITH
THE STRAIGHT UP.

HOUSING CRISIS BEFORE OTHER
PARTS OF THE STATE DID.

HOMELESSNESS LEVELS ARE RIGHTLY.
OTHER CHALLENGE PARTS OF THE
STATE WE NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT

US THE TOOLS TO START TO ADDRESS
THIS OURSELVES BUT OBVIOUSLY
WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT OUR OWN

CONVERSATIONS AND BRING THIS
BACK TO THIS COMMITTE TO MOVE
THIS FORWARD AND WITH THAT AGAIN

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND AND
LET ME JUST START FIRST BY
AGREEING TO THE AMENDMENTS --
THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED AND
THANKING YOU YET AGAIN AND YOUR
STAFF FOR YOUR JUDGMENT WITH US --
WORKING THROUGH THE ISSUES AND
THE COMPETING CONCERNS -- WITH
THESE AMENDMENTS THIS IS THE
THIRD I THINK FINAL SIGNIFICANT
BILL WE HAVE MOVED TO THIS
COMMITTEE THE CYCLE AND NEXT
YEAR I'M GOING TO TRY TO THINK
ABOUT BILLS THAT MAY NOT HAVE TO
GO THROUGH THIS BUT I LOVE
WORKING WITH YOU ALL THE TIME SO
WE'LL KEEP.
ON DOING THAT -- IN THE MIDST OF
OUR STATE HOUSING CRISIS THIS
BILL WOULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
DENSITY BONUSES 41100%
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS THIS
BILL HAS NO STATE COSTS.
AND LOCALS CAN CHARGE FEES TO
COVER THOSE COSTS OUR BILL
ADDRESSES SEVERAL CHALLENGES
FIRST THE FACT THAT ZONING I
OFTEN A BEAR TO HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT.
EXISTING ZONING ARE OFTEN TOO
LOW FOR AFFORDABLE PROJECTS TO
PENCIL OUT.
SECONDLY WE ALL KNOW HOW SCARE
SUPPORT A HOUSING FUNDING IS WE
NEED TO STRETCH EVERY DOLLAR TO
BUILD AS MANY UNITS AS WE CAN.
AND THEN THIRDLY FOR THOSE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS
THAT ARE COMPETING WITH MARKET
RATE DEVELOPERS MORE DENSITY CAN
MAKE A PROJECT FINANCIALLY
FEASIBLE GIVEN THAT AFFORDABLE
HOUSING.
ORGANIZATION THE OPPORTUNITY TO
COMPETE FOR SITES UNDER OUR BILL
A 100%. FOR WILL HOUSING
PROJECTS WOULD BE ELIGIBLE 480%
DENSITY BONUSES ABOVE EXISTING
DENSITY.
ZONE DENSITY AS WELL AS WITH
ADDITIONAL INCENTIVES AND
CONCESSIONS.
AND GIVEN THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND
EQUITY BENEFITS OF LOCATING
HOUSING TO EACH YEAR TRANSIT A
100% FOR WILL HOUSING PROJECTS
NEXT TO TRANSIT WOULD BE
ELIGIBLE FOR ADDITIONAL DENSITY
SO WITH THAT.

JONES COMES AT THE TABLE WOULD
YOU LIKE TO BE A IS PLEASE COME
ON FOR ARE WE TO INDIVIDUALS WHO
WILL BE SPEAKING THE IN
OPPOSITION.
WE WELCOME BOTH GENTLEMEN I TO
THE TABLE.
GERMAN WHO WOULD LIKE ME TO GO
FIRST WEBER DOES FOR OLDER THAN
THAT.
ROCK PAPER SCISSORS PLEASE --
PLEASE MISTER JONES -- FIRST
LAST ORGANIZATION YOU HAVE TO
ANSWER DAVID JONES A MAP THE
CITIES OF BURBANK AND SAN MARCOS
AGAIN -- WE UNDERSTAND AND
REALIZE THAT THE EXTREME NEED
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND WE
HAVE A GREAT SYMPATHY FOR
BUILDING THEM SAN MARCOS IS A
CITY THAT IS -- EIGHTY THOUSAND
PEOPLE -- THEY HAVE THREE
THOUSAND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
UNITS THE SECOND MOST AFFORDABLE
HOUSING UNITS BUILT IN ANY CITY
IN SAN DIEGO.
SAN DIEGO COUNTY RIGHT BEHIND
THE CAN THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO SO
THEY HAVE DONE A VERY VERY GOOD --
JOB IN PROVIDING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING.
THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING.
YOU KNOW.
HE PERCENT DENSITY GIVEN TO A
VERY LARGE ADDITIONAL THREE
STORIES ON TOP OF THAT WEDGED
INTO SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS I
MENTIONED EARLIER IN MY
TESTIMONY.
SAN MARCOS HAS THREE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES WITHIN ITS JURISDICTION
WE HAVE A VERY VERY -- IMPACTED
NEIGHBORHOODS ARE CITIZENS ARE
HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD AS FAR AS
ACCEPTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING
WITHIN THEIR THEIR COMMUNITIES
SO WEAK LIKE I MENTIONED EIGHTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE THREE THOUSAND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS THAT
WERE BUILT BY REDEVELOPMENT
MONEY SO.
WE HAVE A REDEVELOPMENT I DID A
FABULOUS JOB AND LOSS OF IT IS
CLEARLY ON OUR MINDS NOW -- BUT
THE PARKING ISSUE FOR US IS IS
VERY EXTREME BURBANK ARE OF THE
CLIENT HAS TWELVE THOUSAND UNITS
OF HOUSING BING -- IN THE
PIPELINE BEING DEVELOPED SO
THEY'RE NOT SHIRKING THEIR
RESPONSIBILITY SO HAVING THE
POSSIBILITY OF HAVING SOME OF
THEIR PARCELS HAVE THIS KIND OF
DENSIFICATION WITHOUT.
OF PARKING REQUIREMENTS WILL
HAVE EXTREMELY IMPACTS ON THOSE
COMMUNITIES IN THOSE
NEIGHBORHOODS THAT WERE ALREADY
BENDING OVER BACKWARDS IN TRYING
TO GET THE COMMUNITIES TO ACCEPT
HIGHER DENSIFICATION.
AND WITH THIS BILL IT WOULD
SUDDENLY THROW A LOT OF THAT OUT
THE WINDOW AND WE POTENTIALLY
WOULD HAVE.
MUCH MORE HIGHER DENSITIES IN
CERTAIN AREAS WHERE THE
COMMUNITIES OF ALREADY MADE THE
MADE THE CONCESSIONS IN THE
COMMUNITIES ALREADY SAID WE WILL
ACCEPT.
HIGHER DENSIFICATION AN THEN TO
HAVE THIS BILL COMING IN AND
SUDDENLY HAVE THAT NUMBER
CHANGED TO A MUCH HIGHER
POTENTIAL DOWN DENSITY WOULD BE
VERY VERY PROBLEMATIC FOR BOTH
OUR CLIENTS SO. FOR THOSE
REASONS WE WOULD OPPOSE THE BILL
THANK YOU HIS CHANCE GOOD
AFTERNOON AFTERNOON -- MISTER
CHAIR JOHN CLAN FOR THE CITY OF
ITS IT IS TO DETERMINE THE SAME
COMMENTS THAT -- MISTER JONES IS
MADE.
SORT OF BIGGER PICTURE FROM --
THE CITY EVEN SINISE RESPECTIVE
DENSITY BONUS TENDS TO ELICIT
STRONG REACTIONS FROM ITS
CITIZENRY IN TERMS OF FEEL THE
THAT IT GOES AROUND THE GENERAL
pPLAN PROCESS AND SETTING THOSE --
APPROPRIATE ZONING SERVE
DIFFERENT ASK PARTS OF THE
COMMUNITY.
I WOULD ALSO SAY THAT AS A
COASTAL CITY.
THE ABILITY TO GO ABOVE HEIGHT
LIMITATIONS DEFINITELY ALSO
CREATES A LOT OF ANGST WITHIN
OUR COMMUNITY AND SO FOR THOSE
REASONS WE RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE.
SEVENTEEN SIXTY THREE THANK YOU
SO MUCH SIR.
WELCOME HANG IF YOU LIKE WE
WELCOME BACK WITH US.
MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS THE
COMMITTEE BALKANS OFFICER TO BE
AFTER THE SEIZE UPON DEL
THOUSAND OAKS IN TORRANCE WILL
SIMPLY ECHO THE COMMENTS AROUND
THE PARKING ISSUE AND FOR THOSE
REASONS WE ARE OPPOSED.
YOU SO MUCH WE LIKELY TO SEE IF
THERE'S ANYONE ELSE IN
OPPOSITION IF YOU COULD PLEASE
COME.
FOR THIS IS GONNA BE OUR LAST
CALL FOR OPPOSITION.
WE'RE GONNA BRING IT BACK TO
COMMITTEE TO BE A TO SEE IF WE
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
PLEASE SENATE BILL WOULD
SOMEBODY BUILDS A UNIT THEY
COULD PUT AS MANY PARKING SPACES
AS THEY WANT RIGHT.
YES ALTHOUGH I DO WANT TO DRESS
A PARKING FOR SECOND SO WHAT
WHAT WHAT THIS BILL SAYS IS THAT.
WITH REGARDS TO SPECIAL NEEDS
HOUSING OR SUPPORT OF HOUSING --
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE SAYING WE
DON'T THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE
THAT MUCH PARKING AND THAT'S THE
REALITY OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL DOES.
THAT'S TRUE THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S
ALL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE SO
MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE
OPPOSITION IS THAT THEY WANT TO
ENSURE PARKING FOR THOSE
PARTICULAR PROJECTS.
THAT IS ONE WHERE WE JUST
RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE THAT
THERE'S A NEED FOR PARKING IN
THOSE SITUATIONS AGAIN FOR
SPECIAL NEED HOUSING AND SUPPORT
HOUSING ALONE BUT I I THINK WITH
THE IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION ON
THOSE TWO ITEMS.
UNDERSTANDING THERE'S SOME --
DIFFERENCES BUT THIS IS NOT
TOUCH THE ISSUE OF PARKING
OTHERWISE FOR WRECKED SO I THINK
THAT'S CORRECT OVER V. ONE TO
BUILD SOME AFFORDABLE HOUSING
THAT'S NOT SUPPORT OF HOUSING.
CORRECT BUT IT WOULD NOT THEIR
CHOICE YES YES SOMEONE EXACTLY
THAT PENCILS -- THEY DO IT THAT
WAY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH CENTER ABOUT.
WE WOULD WELCOME ADDITIONAL
CONVERSATION OR MOTION FROM THE
COMMITTEE.
OCEAN A MOTION ON THE FLOOR BY

THE DECISION TO TAX THEMSELVES
WOULD NOT BE IN VAIN.
AND AS THE REVENUE GENERATED
FROM THE SALES TAX WOULD BE
AVAILABLE TO THE COMMUNITIES
DEVOTED TO TAX THEMSELVES --
WITH I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
AYE VOTE WITH ME TODAY ARE
REPRESENT IS THE SACRAMENTO AREA
COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS AS WELL
AS THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION.
AND OUR PARENTS EVEN HERE IN
TIME TO THE NECK EXPEDITE THIS
PROCESS SO I'LL TURN OVER THEN
IF I MAY NAY THANK YOU SO MUCH
WE ARE GONNA HAVE TO WITNESSES
IN SUPPORT TODAY WE LOVE IT WHEN
THE CDC IS HERE.
THE POLICE WHO WOULD LIKE TO
DEDICATE THIS OFF.
MR MEMBERS MIND JAMES CORAL ST
THE EXACT DIRECTOR OF THE
SACRAMENTO AREA COUNCIL OF
GOVERNMENTS ARE SAY CALLED WE
REPRESENT THE SIX COUNTY GREATER
SACRAMENTO REGION TWENTY TWO
CITIES.
ALSO ON BEHALF OF OUR PARTNER
THE PLASTER COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AGENCY
OUR BOARD IS IN SUPPORT FULL
SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURE -- AT
WHICH EMPOWERS LOCAL
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITIES WITH
EXISTING -- TAXING FOR TO CREATE
THE SUB COUNTY TAXING DISTRICTS
THAT ARE ACTUALLY SO CRITICAL.
I WANT TO GIVE YOU THREE REASONS
WHY THIS IS REALLY REALLY VITAL
TO THE FUTURE OF OUR REGIONAL
ECONOMY HERE IN THE SACRAMENTO
REGION AND FRANKLY OF THE STATE.
FIRST IS THAT THE FUTURE OF
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING IS ABOUT
LEVERAGE IF WE DON'T ACTUALLY
BRING MONEY THE TABLE LOCALLY --
WE'RE GOING TO LOSE OUT ON
FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDS
INCREASINGLY FEDERAL
TRANSPORTATION FUNDS ARE ABOUT
LOCAL LEVERAGE AND SALES TAX
DOLLARS ARE WHERE THAT SITE
NUMBER.
ONE SECOND YES THIS IS ABOUT
DRAWING SMALLER SUB DISTRICTS.
BUT IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT AN EVEN
BIGGER MUCH LARGER PLAY WHICH IN
OUR CASE IS THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA MEGA REGION OR A
REGIONAL ECONOMY -- THIS WILL
HELP DO THINGS LIKE THE EIGHTY
SIXTY FIVE INTERCHANGING PLASTER
COUNTY THE THIRD TRACK WHICH
CONNECTS ROSEVILLE TO SACRAMENTO
TO THE BAY AREA WE ARE
INCREASINGLY A MEGA REGIONAL
ECONOMY.
THE EIGHTY IS THE ONLY ALL
WEATHER CROSSING THIS YEAR
INTIFADA'S THAT'S GOODS MOVEMENT
ALL THE WAY TO CHICAGO SO EVEN
THOUGH THIS IS A IN OUR REGION
THIS WOULD BENEFIT PLASTER
COUNTY IT REALLY IS A MEGA
REGIONAL.
THING TO BENEFIT THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO PAY THE WHOLE FREIGHT
BUT THAT DOWN PAYMENT IS
CRITICAL AND THIRD.
I HAVE MET PEOPLE AND I'VE MET A
FAMILY RECENTLY THAT WANT TO
MOVE THE LINCOLN CALIFORNIA
GREAT QUALITY OF LIFE GREAT
SCHOOLS THEY DECIDED NOT TO MOVE
TO LINCOLN.
BECAUSE OF THE EIGHTY SIXTY FIVE
INTERCHANGE WE ARE LOSING OUT ON
PEOPLE WERE LOSING OUT ON GROWTH
AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY IF WE
DON'T GET MEASURES LIKE THIS
THIS IS HOW IMPORTANT THE SAYS --
BIG LIST OF STAKEHOLDERS
INCLUDING LOCAL CHAMBERS OF
COMMERCE HOUSING ADVOCATES CIVIL
ENGINEERS AIR QUALITY PROPONENTS
PLANNERS AND MANY OTHER PARTNER
ORGANIZATIONS OUR BOARD DOES NOT
TAKE TAX MEASURES LIGHTLY -- WE
DON'T APPROVE ALL OF THEM BUT WE

BILL AND WE ASK FOR YOUR AYE

MR CORAL SAID AND APPRECIATE THE
LEADERSHIP THAT ASSEMBLY MEMBER
GLORIA HAS BROUGHT IN.
IN SPEARHEADING THIS EFFORT EVEN
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SENATE
BILL ONE OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES
ARE STILL STRUGGLING TO BE ABLE
TO COMPLETE CRITICAL
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS NEEDED
FOR QUALITY OF LIFE.

GOALS THIS BILL ALLOWS THEM

TURNED OVER TO THOSE WHO WHO ARE
POST MISS WILL PROTECT KICKS OFF
I WOULD NHà MISTER CHAIRMAN
I'LL BE I'LL BE BRIEF CAPSULE A
DAVID WARFARE JARVIS TAXPAYERS
ASSOCIATION OPPOSED T. A. B..
FOURTEEN THIRTEEN MEMBERS IF FOR
AGGRESSIVE TAXES ARE GOING TO BE
AUTHORIZED AND PASSED.
IT NEED TO BE UNIFORM.
THEY NEED TO BE UNIFORM.
THIS WAS THE ISSUE WITH PLASTER
COUNTY THEY PUT A SALES TAX ON
THE BALLOT A FEW YEARS AGO AND
IT FAILED.
SO NOW WE'RE COMING BACK AND
WE'RE PICKING AND CHOOSING WHO
ARE VOTERS ARE.
WE ARE AUTHORIZING SALES TAX ON
A PORTION OF THE ELECTORATE.
AND THE UNIFORMITY MEMBERS
BEYOND THEIR AGGRESSIVE
AUTHORIZATION THAT I'VE
MENTIONED WITH OTHER BILLS TODAY
IT'S THE UNIFORMITY HERE THAT WE
HAVE THE BIGGEST ISSUE WITH FROM
BUSINESS COMPLIANCE STANDPOINT
WHICH IS WHY CAL TAXES ALSO
OPPOSED TO THIS MEASURE.
AUTHORIZING SMALLER SALES TAXES
ACROSS REGIONS MAKE COMPLIANCE
VERY DIFFICULT SALES TAXES COULD
DIFFER ORDERLY FROM STREET TO
STREET HAVE A MEASURE LIKE THIS
IS TO GO THROUGH.
THE TAX DISPARITIES ARE HUGE
PROBLEM HERE IT IS GOING TO
IMPACT CONSUMER BEHAVIOR -- YOU
KNOW ESPECIALLY IN PLASTIC
COUNTY AND OTHER REGIONS SO FOR
THOSE REASONS BEYOND THE
REGRESSIVITY -- WOULD ASK FOR
NUMBER.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TWELVE
FIFTEEN ANSWER FEET GIVES YOUR
FIRST LASSEN ORGANIZATION IN TWO
MINUTES THANKS FOR BEING HERE
OKAY GOOD AFTERNOON MY CARE
BEATING IN AN INDIVIDUAL.
SPARE IN THE PLASTER COUNTY.
LUCY POSE IT AS IT IS BECAUSE IF
IT PASSES IT WOULD THEY HAVE A
LIST NOW PROJECTS THEY WANT PUT
BACK ON INCLUDING THE THREE
MAJOR HIGHWAY CAPACITY.
INCREASING PROJECTS THAT THE
VOTERS DID NOT APPROVE THE SAME
THE THE FOR US.
BACK IN -- TWENTY SIXTEEN THIS
WOULD MEAN THE THE SALES
TAXPAYERS WILL BE PAYING UP
FRONT WITH HE'S IF HE'S LATER --
NOW THAT THE IT'S THERE ARE.
THERE I'VE HEARD OF PLACES WHERE
THIS COULD BE A VERY GOOD IN
THIS IMPORTANT IN THE SET
NECESSARY BILL.
THE QUESTION IS ARE THERE STATE
POLICY AREAS THAT WERE THIS
WOULD OPEN UP THE GATES AND WE
THINK THAT THAT IS INVOLVED SAY
WITH A A OR B. ISSUES IT WITH
THIS MASSIVE IN A DEVELOPMENT A
ENABLING.
THE ACTION HERE.
BUT ALSO IT IS HAPPEN SO SOON
AFTER THE RECENT THE FAILURE TO
PASS THAT THEY SPEND A MILLION
DOLLARS TRYING TO DEFEAT IT IT
DIDN'T WORK.
SO WE'LL COME BACK TO THE THE
CHANGING THE RULES AT THIS POINT --
WE THINK IT IS JUST IS NOT AN
ADVISABLE SO IT IS NOT ADVISABLE
SO -- WE HAVE A MAP TO SHOW THE
ISSUES AT A FOR ANYBODY
INTERESTED IN TO SHOW THEM THE
PROJECT LIST THAT WOULD BE BACK
ON NEXT YEAR.
WHICH WE THINK RAISES A NUMBER
STATE POLICY QUESTIONS AND WHAT
THIS WILL ENABLE.
IN OUR COUNTY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR GRATEFUL
YOU'RE HERE WERE IN HEAVY HANG
WITH US IN CASE WE HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS VERY.
THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY WE'D LIKE TO GO TO SEE
IF THERE'S ANYONE ELSE IN
OPPOSITION IF YOU COULD PLEASE
COME FORTH THIS TIME.
HEARING SEEN NINE WOULD LIKE ME
TO BRING IT BACK TO COMMITTEE I
HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS BUT
WOULD LIKE TO BE TO SEE IF WE
HAVE -- ANY FOLKS SAID MR VICE
CHAIR.
HAVE A CLEAR.
THESE ARE WISER -- ORANGE COUNTY
IS A SELF HELP.
DOWNEY FURRY TO TIRE COUNTY
MEASURE M. -- AND I IT IS JUST
SAID IT BILL SAYING HEY OF THE
THIRTY FOUR CITIES.
IF WE DID NOT HAVE SELF HELP WE
COULD SELECT THE CITIES THAT
[inaudible]
WOULD PARTICIPATE.
IN TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS.
AND THOSE WITH.
THEN BENEFIT FROM THAT SALES TAX
AND THE OTHERS WOULD NOT.
YES THE WAY THIS IS GOING TO BE
FOCUSES ON JUST TO COUNTIES IS
THE WAY THE BILL READS IS CAN BE
FOCUS ON SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND
PLASTER COUNTY.
AND WE WANTED TO INSURE SO JUST
BEING VERY CANDID AND AND DO
APPRECIATE.
THE MAYOR WORKING WITH US ON
THIS ISSUE.
IS THIS NUMBER ONE IS THAT WE
NEED TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE
CONTIGUOUS JURISDICTIONS.
SO WE CAN -- WHAT WOULD BE VERY
CHALLENGING IS IF WE'RE TAKING
SPECIFIC SUBDIVISIONS WITHIN AN
UNINCORPORATED AREA?
IN WHAT THE OPPOSITION WHEN THEY
POINTS WERE BROUGHT UP TO BE
ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHO PAYS WHAT
LEVEL OF TAX WOULD BE A
CHALLENGE.
WHICH IS WHY WE SAID LET'S FOCUS
ON CONTIGUOUS CITIES SO MAKING
THIS UP.
THERE WOULD BE EIGHT CONTIGUOUS
CITIES WITHIN.
THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO.
THEY WOULD BE THE ONES THAT
WOULD ASSESS THEMSELVES FOR
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS.
IT WOULD BE THE ONES THAT WOULD
ACTUALLY SEE THE BENEFIT SINCE
THEIR PAIN INTO TRANSPORTATION
IMPROVEMENT MEASURE.
OTHER REGIONS WERE NOT PART OF
THAT CONDUCTING TO U. S. FOCUS
AREA WOULD NOT.
I'M IN SAME THING WOULD BE GOING
FOR PLACER COUNTY SO IT WOULD BE
ONE CITY. FOR CONTINUOUS CITIES
LOCATED ACCOUNT.
I AND AT THIS TIME.
THIS BILL WOULD HAVE AUTHORIZED.
AUTHORIZING LANGUAGE JUST TO
COUNTIES SAN DIEGO PLASTER.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU TO SEE IF WE HAVE ANY
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR
DO WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR.
MOTION BY CENTER WE ARE MAYBE.
ALL RIGHT WE HAVE A AT WE HAVE A
MOTION.
BY AS A GOOD SENATOR RESERVE
CISCO.
THEN THERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE
A CLOSE PLEASE I JUST WANT TO
REITERATE MY APPRECIATION YOU
MISTER CHAIR AND YOUR STAFF FOR
HELPING US -- TO PULL THIS BILL
TOGETHER I'D APPRECIATE THAT
CONTINUED A CONVERSATION OVER
THE COURSE THE RECESS TO MAKE
SURE WE HAVE THIS PERFECT.
ASK FOR EVERY SENATOR FOR YOUR
SUPPORT ON THIS TICKET BILL WITH
ASKING ABOUT TAXING PEOPLE FOR
THE BENEFITS THAT THEY WILL
DIRECTLY RECEIVE I THINK IT'S
FAIRLY CONSERVATIVE FISCAL
RESPONSE -- PRINCIPLE -- IS
WORTHY OF EVERY MEMBER OF THIS
COMMITTEE SUPPORT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE
FLOOR -- THAT MOTIONS BY CENTER
WINNER THE MOTION IS TO PASS AS
AMENDED TO THE FLOOR WE THINK
THEY ARE FOLKS WHO ARE HERE IN

THOSE WHO ARE IN OPPOSITION
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
MISSING JUST A ROLL CALL PLEASE.
HI.
I'M MORE ALONG [inaudible]
BELL.
HELLO.
NIELSEN.
NIELSEN NO WINNER WIENER ON
TWENTY TWO IS A TWO ONE VOTE.
WE ARE GOING TO KEEP THE ROLE
OPEN.
I SAVED A BIT WE HAVE TO
ADDITIONAL BILLS TO ADDITIONAL
BILLS AND THAT IS IS A MEMBER
GRAYSON THANK YOU SO MUCH. TO
THE MEMBER GRAYSON WORKING WITH
US WE HAVE TWO BILLS IN FRONT OF
THIS ITEM SIXTEEN AB.
FOURTEEN EIGHTY THREE ITEM.
SEVENTEEN AB.
FOURTEEN EIGHTY FOUR ITEMS.
SIXTEEN WE SEE IS RECEIVING
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT IS A MEMBER.
AND THEN ITEM SEVENTEEN IS ALSO
RECEIVING BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.
WE'RE GONNA ASK FOR A TRUNCATED
VERSION.
OF YOU PRESENTATIONS ONE TAKE A
MOMENT TO SAY.
HEY THERE WE GO WE'LL TAKE A
LONGER SAY THINK IT IS IN THE
MEMBER -- IF HE HAS BEEN VERY
FOCUSED IN THE SPACE OF HOUSING
AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING -- IN HIS
WORK WITH THE COMMITTEE ON ITEM
SIXTEEN EXTENSIVELY ON TAKE A
MOMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOURSELF
YOUR INCREDIBLE TEAM THE FLOOR
IS YOURS SIR.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS AND I'M PLEASED TO
PRESENT ASSEMBLY BILL FOURTEEN
EIGHTY THREE MISTER CHAIR THANK
YOU TO YOU AND COMMITTEE STAFF --
FOR BEING SO WORKABLE AND
ACTUALLY HELPING BUILD A VERY --
A VERY STRONG BILL.
AND SO I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR
IT'S NOT MY INTENTION TO MAKE
DATA COLLECTION SO BURDENSOME
THAT IT DETRACTS FROM THE MAIN
JOB OF PLANNING DEPARTMENTS AND
THAT'S ACTUALLY APPROVING
HOUSING.
SO THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS THAT
HAVE BEEN RECEIVED -- SEEK TO
ADDRESS A RANGE OF CONCERNS
RAISED BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND
PLANNING EXPERTS BY ENSURING
THAT THAT DATA -- THAT WE ARE
COLLECTING IS BOTH VALUABLE TO
POLICY MAKERS AND ALSO READILY
AVAILABLE TO THE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS SO I'M HAPPY TO
ACCEPT THE AMENDMENTS AND I
BELIEVE THAT THEY DO MAKE THIS
BILL A MUCH BETTER BILL AND MORE
EFFECTIVE BILL.
AB FOURTEEN EIGHTY THREE WILL
SUPPORT THIS MISSION FOR WAYS.
IT WILL REQUIRE THE COLLECTION
OF ADDITIONAL HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE DATA
INCLUDING THE TIMELINE FOR
APPLICATION APPROVAL WHETHER THE
PROJECT WAS EXEMPT FROM IN MY
OUR ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW VIA
SEAQUEST.
AND WHETHER THE PROJECT RECEIVE
MISTER APPROVAL IT WILL ALSO
REQUIRE CITIES AND COUNTIES TO
TRANSPARENTLY REPORT ON FEES AND
EXACTIONS.
IT REQUIRES A CD TO IMPLEMENT A
COMPREHENSIVE DATA STRATEGY AND
THEN ALSO FINALLY IT WILL
FACILITATE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
A STATEWIDE GIS PARCEL DATA BASE.
WITH THAT I DO HAVE WITNESSES
WITH ME TODAY THAT I WILL ASK.
PERMISSION TO SELF INTRODUCE
THANK YOU SO MUCH IN AS A MEMBER
WE HAVE A ROOM FOR TWO WITNESSES

IMPORTED WATER IN OANGE COUNTY
IN PORT AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF
THIS PUZZLE IS THE SOUTH COAST
WATER DISTRICTS TO HIM THE OCEAN
DESALINATION PLANTS.
THE PROJECTS A WIN WIN AND MY
BILL AB SEVENTEEN FIFTY TWO WILL
ENABLE US TO BRING IT TO
FRUITION.
CURRENT STATUTORY AUTHORITY TO

STATUTORY TIMELINE IN ABLE TO
ENSURE THE STATE AT FINING AND

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALLOWING
ME TO SPEAK TODAY WITH ME TODAY
IS OUR BOARD PRESIDENT BILL
GREEN SPECTER.
AS ASSEMBLY WOMAN PETRIE-NORRIS
INDICATED THE DOUBLE MEANING
OCEAN D. CELL PROJECT WILL BE A
DISTRICT OWNED.
ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE
DROUGHT PROOF WATER SUPPLY
PROJECT.
THE PROJECT WOULD SERVE THE
SOUTH COAST WATER DISTRICT AND
INTERESTED PARTNERS IN SOUTH
ORANGE COUNTY.
AN AREA THAT'S ROUGHLY 90%
DEPENDENT ON IMPORTED WATER FROM
THE METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT
OF CAL OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
FURTHERMORE THE PROJECT WOULD
PROVIDE A CONTINUOUS EMERGENCY
WATER SUPPLY DURING AN
EARTHQUAKE.
IN AN EARTHQUAKE INDUCED
IMPORTED WATER OUTAGE AND COULD
PROVIDE THE MUCH NEEDED FIRE
FLOWS AFTER THAT OUTAGE.
ON THE WILDLAND FIRE FRINGES THE
WILD LAND FRINGES IN SOUTH
ORANGE COUNTY.
THE PROJECT ALSO PROVIDES AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR REGIONAL WATER
SOLUTION REDUCING DEPENDENCE ON
THE STATE WATER PROJECT AND THE
COLORADO RIVER ACCIDENT.
THE SLANT WILL TECHNOLOGY AND A
CO MINGLED BRINE WASTEWATER
DISCHARGE COMPONENTS ARE
CONSISTENT WITH THE OCEAN PLAN
AND ARE ACTUALLY THE PREFERRED
REGULATORY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
APPROACH.
THROUGH THIS BILL WE'RE MAKING
SIX A SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENT
THAT CALIFORNIA ORGANIZED LABOR
IS INVOLVED IN THIS CONSTRUCTION.
WE WILL HAVE A PROJECT LABOR
AGREEMENT AND PREVAILING WAGES
WILL BE PAID.
ODJICK HAS RECEIVED BROAD
SUPPORT BY THE LABOR AND
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY.
OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS CERTIFIED
THE E. I. R. ON JUNE TWENTY
SEVEN TWENTY NINETEEN AND WE ARE
STARTING THE PERMITTING AND
CONTRACTED ELEMENT PROCESS.
WITHOUT THIS SPECIAL LEGISLATION
WE WILL LOSE OPPORTUNITY AND
ABILITY. TO DELIVER THE PROJECT
AS A DESIGN BUILD OPERATE OR THE
OPERATOR IS THOROUGHLY INVOLVED
IN THE PROCESS DESIGNED TO
ENSURE IT ALL WORKS AT THE END
OF THE DAY.
WITHOUT THIS SPECIAL LEGISLATION
THE PROJECT WOULD BE A
TRADITIONAL DESIGN BUILD BUILD.
A PROJECT DELIVERY THAT WOULD
RESULT IN UNNECESSARY CHALLENGES
AND RISKS.
DUE TO THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE
SLANT WELL AND THE OCEAN WATER
TREATMENT PROCESS.
LASTLY WE ARE AND OUR REGION
HAVE BEEN AFFORDABILITY CEILING
FOR THIS PROJECT.
IF WE LOSE THE STATE GRANTS AND
LOANS WE WILL LIKELY EXCEED THIS
AFFORDABILITY CEILING WHICH
COULD LEAD TO THE LOSS OF
POTENTIAL PARTNER WATER AGENCIES.
AND MOST SIGNIFICANTLY A
DECISION TO NOT MOVE FORWARD.
WITH THE PROJECT BY OUR BOARD OF
DIRECTORS.

THANK YOU.
PLEASE FOR STARTERS I APPRECIATE
THE OPPORTUNITY. TO PRESEN AB
TALL SEVENTY AND FIRST I'D LIKE
TO THANK YOUR COMMITTEE STAFFER
WORKING AS WITH US THROUGH THIS
BILL AND CONFIRM THAT THAT THEY
COMMITTEE MEN IT'S REGARDING THE
INCLUSION OF GROSS RECEIPTS THAT
DEFINITION.
HAPPY TO TAKE THAT AND THE
CLARIFICATIONS THAT THIS BILL
WILL NOT BE APPLIED
RETROACTIVELY THAT WAS NEVER THE
INTENT AND SO PUTTING IN SOME
LANGUAGE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S
NOT BEING APPLIED RETROACTIVELY
IS ABSOLUTELY FINE.
SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS IS
APPLYING.
FALSE CLAIM STANDARD. TO TAX
DISPUTES THE THERE'S THERE'S A
TAX GAP IT'S BEEN ESTIMATED
ANYWHERE FROM TWENTY FIVE TWENTY
BILLION TO TO TWENTY FIVE
BILLION DOLLARS.
AND WHAT I MEAN BY TAX GAP IS
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TAXES
OWED.
AND TAXES COLLECTED THAT
NORMALLY THE TAXING ENTITIES DO
A LOT OF THAT WORKING GO AFTER
TAX SCOFFLAWS BUT THERE ARE
CASES.
WHERE AND USING THE FALSE CLAIMS
ACT THAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
THROUGH WHISTLEBLOWER STATUTES?
GOES AFTER THOUGH THOSE
INDIVIDUALS WHO -- LARGE AMOUNTS
OF TAX DOLLARS THAT HAVE NOT
PAID THEM THAT'S REALLY WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE.
IS MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
STRENGTHENING THE BOTH CLAIMS
ACT TO PROTECT WHISTLEBLOWERS.
GIVE THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
APPROPRIATE TOOLS AND MAKE SURE
THAT THEY GO AFTER TAX SCOFFLAWS.
THAT'S WHAT THE BILL IS THAT AND
WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK
YOUR AYE VOTE I DO HAVE SOME
MEMBERS OF THE TURNING GENERAL'S
OFFICE HERE. TO GET SOME
TESTIMONY AND ALSO BE PART OF
ANSWERING QUESTIONS AND SHOULD
YOU HAVE ANY ABOUT WHAT WE'RE

AGAINST THE AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS.

MEMBER STONE FOR HIS LEADERSHIP

ECHO HIS COMMITMENT TO CONTINUE
TO WORK WITH THE OPPOSITION AND
SOME OF THE REMAINING CONCERNS.
AND WE APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS OF
THE COMMITTEE STAFF AND
OPPONENTS OVER THE LAST WEEK --
THAT ALLOWED US TO MAKE PROGRESS --
AND WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT WE'LL BE
ABLE TO COME TOGETHER -- ON THE
REMAINING ISSUES AS THE BILL
GOES FRWARD AN ATTENDANT OVER
NOW TO MORE AND GO YET. THIRTEEN
ANSWER IF YOU COULD PLEASE
INTRODUCE YOURSELF TWO MINUTES.
GOOD AFTERNOON MARTIN GORE YET
SENIOR ASSISTANT ATTORNEY
GENERAL WITH THE CALIFORNIA AG'S
OFFICE I KNOW I LEAD THE FALSE
CLAIMS UNIT IN OFFICE.
AND WE SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION
TO STRENGTHEN OUR ABILITY. TO A
COMBAT TAX FRAUD.
IS A FALSE CLAIMS LAW PROVIDES
SOME UNIQUE PROVISIONS THERE
WILL MOTOR VICE WHISTLEBLOWERS
KNOW COUNCILS BRING CASES.
OF VIEW INFORMATION THAT WE
OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN
ABOUT IT EVIDENCE SO WE
OTHERWISE DON'T GET.
THE FALSE CLAIMS LAW ALREADY
ALLOWS THESE KIND OF CASES IN
OTHER IN ALL OTHER AREAS.
IT'S BEEN VERY PRODUCTIVE.
OUR UNIT HAS RECOVERED ABOUT A
BILLION AND A HALF DOLLARS FOR
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
AND I SHOULD ADD THAT WOULD
COMPLETELY SELF FUNDED.
OUT OF THE RECOVERY **** WE
OBTAIN WE'VE BEEN VERY
SUCCESSFUL SO FAR.
I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND THIS TO
THE TAX AREA -- IN WITH THAT.
I HAVE BEEN ENTERING QUESTIONS
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU'RE READY
FOR ALL THREE OF YOU HERE WE'RE
GOING TO TURN OVER TO ANYONE
ELSE WHO MAY BE IN SUPPORT OF
THE BILL IF YOU COULD PLEASE
COME FORTH THIS TIME PERSON
LASSEN ORGANIZATION.
LAST CALL FOR SUPPORT WE'RE NOT
GONNA WELCOME ALL THOSE WHO MAY
BE IN OPPOSITION. FIVE TWO
PRIMARY WITNESSES TWO MINUTES
EACH WE WELCOME THE GENTLEMAN TO
COME FORWARD.
WOULD LIKE TO GET A KICKS OFF
[inaudible]
RIGHT.
HEY THERE WE GO WELCOME TO
COMMITTEE SIR FLOOR SOURCE TWO
MINUTES THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS MIKE BELOW IT ON BEHALF
THE CIVIL JUSTICE ASSOCIATION OF
CALIFORNIA -- MISTER LEWIS
CORRECT WE'VE HAD PRODUCTIVE
DISCUSSIONS WE HAVE NARROWED THE
ISSUES WE'VE KICKED AROUND
SOLUTIONS.
AND SO HE IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT
THIS IS A WEIGHTY BUILT THIS
INVOLVES A MAJOR POLICY CHANGE
IN THE LAW.
THE FALSE CLAIMS ACT IN
CALIFORNA WAS CREATED IN THE
EIGHTIES IT HAS NEVER BEEN
APPLIED TO TAX DISPUTES.
BEFORE AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
ISSUES RAISED BY THIS -- WELL
LAID OUT IN THE ANALYSIS BY THE
WAY -- THE FALSE CLAIMS ACT IS A
MAJOR GOVERNMENTAL TOOL TO
COMBAT CORRUPTION.
IT IS MAJOR BECAUSE OF THE POWER
INVESTED IN THE GOVERNMENT -- WE
HAVE TROUBLE DAMAGES SO THE
THRESHOLDS IN THE BILL ARE.
GROSS OR NET INCOME OF FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND FOR THE
TAXPAYER AND A TAX DISPUTE OF
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. TO
CONVERT A GARDEN VARIETY TAX
DISPUTE INTO A FALSE CLAIMS ACT
IS A VIOLATION IS A BIG PROBLEM.
IF YOU HAVE A CREDIBLE BASIS FOR
YOUR POSITION BUT LOSE YOU WILL
BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT
THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN SHORTED
IN A TAXES.
PLUS TREBLE DAMAGES THAT'S
ANOTHER SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND
YOUR NOW 280-010-00 DOLLARS PLUS
ATTORNEY'S FEES AND THERE IS A
REFERENCE NOW TO DAMAGES
INCLUDING CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
I DON'T KNOW WHAT CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES MIGHT BE IN A TAX CASE.
BUT THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES THAT
WE ARE WORKING THROUGH AGAIN
PRODUCTIVELY -- WITH THE AUTHOR
AND SPONSOR INCLUDING THE RIGHT
OF THE GOVERNMENT ENTITIES TO
USE PRIVATE COUNSEL.
WHICH CHANGES THE CHARACTER OF
THE TAX DISPUTE IT IS NO LONGER
THE NEUTRAL TAX COLLECTION
AGENCY OF THE GOVERNMENT YOU NOW
HAVE A PERSON OR LAWYER WITH A
PROFIT MOTIVE.
AND WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO BRING
QUI TAM ACTIONS.
OF WHERE YOU -- A PRIVATE
CITIZEN CAN BRING THE ACTION --
ALLEGING A VIOLATION SO THERE
ARE VERY VERY SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES IN THE LAW HERE AND IT
HAS TO BE DONE RIGHT I KNOW MR
MCHALE AND OTHERS HAVE OTHER
ISSUES THEY'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT
BUT WE ARE WORKING WITH THE
AUTHOR.
ON AND THE AND THE COMMITTEE
STAFF ON PREVENTING A GARDEN
VARIETY TAX DISPUTE WHERE THE
PERSON HAS SUBSTANTIAL AUTHORITY
FOR THEIR POSITION.
ADVERTING THAT INTO A FALSE
CLAIMS ACT WE IS SIMPLY PUT TOO
MUCH POWER IN THE HANDS OF THE
GOVERNMENT TO PUT THEIR THUMB ON
THE SCALE HERE.
SO WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
WORK ON THANK YOU SO MUCH AS
WHAT REGRET FROM SOME KELLY GOOD
AFTERNOON.
YES -- MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS A
CHRIS MAKAYLA ON BEHALFOF THE
COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION AND JUST BRIEFLY I
WANT TO PUBLICLY STATE -- AS I
DID PRIVATELY THAT WERE
APOLOGETIC TO THE AUTHOR OF THE
MEASURE FOR COMING IN LATE.
IN OUR OPPOSITION TO THE BILL.
A COUPLE OF THINGS THE FIRST IS
WE KNOW THAT THIS IS PATTERNED
AFTER A NEW YORK AND PERHAPS
ILLINOIS STATUTES -- OTHER THAN
THE ONE SUBSTANTIAL CASE CITED
IN YOUR ANALYSIS.
UNCLEAR AS TO HOW EFFECTIVE OR
WHAT ITS UTILIZATION IN NEW
YORKER ILLINOIS HAVE BEEN.
THERE'S BEEN SOME PRESS STORIES
IN THE ABOUT THE ILLINOIS
STATUTE THAT SEEM HIGHLY
CRITICAL OF IT.
CALIFORNIA TAXI GIN SIS DO HAVE
A A WHISTLEBLOWER PROGRAM IN OUR
INITIAL THOUGHT IS WHETHER OR
NOT THE STATE OUGHT TO CONSIDER
FUNDING -- THE STATE'S WAS
ABROAD PROGRAM WITH THE TO TAX
GENCIES AS YOU'RE PROBABLY
AWARE THE TAX AGENCY'S THIS CD
TFA NOW ON THE FRANCHISE TAX
BOARD HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER
OF TOOLS IN THE PROVERBIAL TOOL
BOX. TO INSURE TAXPAYER
COMPLIANCE WITH OUR TAX LAWS AND
OF COURSE WE HAVE A PLACE SYSTEM
HERE MEANING THAT YOU HAVE TO
PAY THE DISPUTED TAXES FILE A
CLAIM FOR REFUND.
AND THEN LITIGATE FIRST
ADMINISTRATIVELY AND THEN
JUDICIALLY -- YOUR TAX DISPUTE --
I KNOW THAT THE PROPONENTS HAD
MADE SOME STATEMENTS ABOUT AN
OPPORTUNITY TO COLLECT MORE
TAXES BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN
SUCCESSFUL WITH OTHER SCA CLAIMS.
HOWEVER YOUR ANALYSIS KNOWS THAT
THE F. T. B. DOES NOT ANTICIPATE
ANY REVENUE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
BILL SO I'M UNSURE HOW -- TO
COUPLED WITH THOSE TO COINCIDE
IF AT ALL.
NOW TURNING TO THE LANGUAGE WE
HAVE SEEN SOME DRAFT AMENDMENTS
WHICH WE APPRECIATE FROM THE
AUTHOR IN THE COMMITTEE STAFF.
TO PUT SOME SIDE BOARDS ON IT I
JUST LIKE TO RAISE A FEW OTHER
ISSUES ON THE LANGUAGE FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION. ONE IS PERHAPS
REQUIRING MORE THAN CONSULTATION
WITH THE STATE AGENCIES BY THE
AG OR THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
THE TAX AGENCIES DESPITE SURE
SOMETIMES MY CRITICISMS OF THEM
DO HAVE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE TAX
COUNSEL -- WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT
EXIST IN THE AG'S OFFICE OR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SO PERHAPS WE
MIGHT WANT.
TO HAVE SOMETHING MORE THAN JUST
CONSULTATION.
THE DEFINITIONS OF MATERIAL
ALLAH T. AND THE ADDITION OF
CONSEQUENCE ALL DAMAGES WHETHER
YOU THINK IT'S A PROPER
CODIFICATION OR NOT.
WE DO HAVE SOME CONCERN THAT --
SECTION FOR THE BILL NOTES THAT
THEY ARE DECLARATORY OF EXISTING
LAW WE USUALLY DO THAT TO IMPACT
PENDING LITIGATION AND I WOULD
LEAST INQUIRE OF THE COMMITTEE.
THE NECESSITY OF DOING SO IS
MISTER BELOW MENTION THE
DEFINITION OF PROSECUTING
AUTHORITY.
IN THE FIRST SECTION OF THE
FALSE CLAIMS ACT.
IS EXPANDED TO INCLUDE PRIVATE
COUNSEL THERE'S NO INDICATION
FOR EXAMPLE HOW WILL THEY BE
PAID MANY CITIES DO UTILIZE
OUTSIDE COUNSEL TO DO MUNICIPAL
LITIGATION.
USUALLY THEY'RE PAID ON AN
HOURLY BASIS BUT WE DO KNOW OF
INSTANCES WHERE THEY'RE PAID ON
A CONTINGENCY FEE BASIS.
WE WOULD PREFER TO SEE THEM ON
AN HOURLY BASIS AND NOT A
CONTINGENCY FEE CASE GOING AFTER
A TAX DISPUTE THIRTY SECONDS
OKAY -- THE THRESHOLDS YES ARE
VERY VERY LOW A TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLAR WAGE DISPUTE --
DOESN'T SEEM TO BE -- OF GRAVE
CONCERN TO US ANY FRAUD IS BAD
OF COURSE BUT WHEN WE PURSUED
FOR EXAMPLE A SO CALLED TAX
SHELTERS THEY WERE GENERALLY YOU
KNOW MULTI MILLION DOLLAR THINGS.
AND THEN THERE WAS A NOTE ABOUT
THE WAY THAT THE BILL IS
STRUCTURED BECAUSE YOU ALLOW.
SECURING AUTHORITY TO GAIN
ACCESS TO TAX RECORDS THAT WOULD
INCLUDE OUTSIDE PRIVATE COUNSEL
WE PREFER NOT TO HAVE THAT.
AND THEN LASTLY PERHAPS IF YOU
DO WANT TO MOVE FORWARD IS TO
GIVE SOME CONSIDERATION OF A
SUNSET DATE THANKYOU MATT
MISTER CHAIR.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AS SPECULATE
GONNA HAVE YOU GUYS JUST HANG
THERE -- IF YOU DON'T MIND AND
THEN WE'LL SEE IF WE HAVE
QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE WE
WELCOME ANYONE ELSE WHO MAY BE
IN OPPOSITION.
BUT HEALTHY MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
PAUL GLAD FILLED THE ON BEHALF
OF THE MOTION PICTURE
ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA AND ALSO
THE ASSOCIATED GENERAL
CONTRACTORS -- WE REMAIN OPPOSED
BASED ON THE COMMENTS MADE BY
THE PREVIOUS WITNESSES THANK YOU
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
HEY COULD YOU SEE CANCER SYRIANS
CHAIR A RUG MUNCHER FROM CAL
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REMAIN
OPPOSED WHO WOULD LIKE TO
EXPRESS THE THANK THE AUTHOR AND
THE THREE CHANNELS OFFICE FOR
THE EXTENSIVE ENGAGEMENT WE'VE
HAD AND WE THINK IT'S BEEN A
GOOD PROCESS WE HAVE TO CONTINUE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH IT'S A
CONVENIENT.
IT'S YOUR TURN SENATORS KEVIN
GOAL TO CALIFORNIA BANKERS
ASSOCIATION AND OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
GOOD AFTERNOON AFTERNOON --
BENTLEY ON BEHALF OF CAL TAX THE
CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION
ALSO IN OPPOSITION TO THE BILL --
WE JUST THINK THAT THE TRANSIT
AUTHORITY THAT IS DUPLICATIVE
AND UNNECESSARY ALSO THE COUNCIL
STATE TAXATION WAS IN ATTENDANCE
EARLIER THIS MORNING BUT IS
UNABLE TO BE HERE AND THEY WOULD
ALSO LIKE TO EXPRESS THEIR
OPPOSITION. TO SLEEP GRATEFUL.
THANKS VERY DO A LAST CALL LAST
CALL FOR THOSE WHO OPPOSE IF YOU
COULD PLEASE COME.
FOR CURRENCY NINE WOULD LIKE TO
RETURN BACK OVER TO THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER. TO MEMBER BLOOM LOOK AT
AS WE DISCUSSED EARLIER TODAY I
THINK THERE ARE ISSUES THAT YOU
WERE COMMITTED TO BE ABLE TO
CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON IN YOU WANT
TO BE ABLE TO RESOLVE AND LIKE
TO BE ABLE.
TO GIVE YOU SOME TIME TO BE ABLE
TO RESPOND. TO THOSE WHO MAY BE
OPPOSE AND WE'D LIKE TO OPEN IT
UP. FOR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
FROM COMMITTEE.
SURE WE ARE WORKING WITH THE
OPPOSITION TO TRY AND THERE ARE
SOME OF THE CONCERNS IN FACT
SOME OF THE AMENDMENTS TAKEN
WERE TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS.
WE'RE NOT TRYING TO GO AFTER
LEGITIMATE TAX DISPUTES AND WERE
HAVING CLARIFIED THAT I I WILL
ADMIT SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT
WERE BROUGHT UP.
TODAY FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT
THAT WE HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT
THEM.
BUT I DO WANT TO COMMENT WITH
RESPECT TO THE OUTSIDE COUNSEL
LOT OF CITIES DO HAVE THEIR CITY
ATTORNEY IS AN OUTSIDE COUNSEL.
AND THERE'S NO PROHIBITION
AGAINST CITIES SEEKING REDRESS
ON A CONTINGENCY BASIS IN FACT
THAT THAT DOES HAPPEN SO I'M.
THAT'S PART OF THE THE EXISTING
SYSTEM AND A LOT OF WE DO
PROTECT IN THIS CASE IF A KEY
TâM.
PLAINTIFF DOES COME FORWARD IN
THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T TAKE THAT
UP THEY'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ACCESS
TO ANY OF THE CONFIDENTIAL TAX
RECORDS WE'VE MADE THAT VERY
CLEAR.
OUTSIDE COUNSEL TO A CITY WHO IS
PURSUING TAX FRAUD SHOULD
ABSOLUTELY HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE
RECORDS BUT THAT IS BEING HELD
AND IN THE GOVERNMENT TO CONTACT
AND THERE ARE.
PROTECTIONS BECAUSE WE DO NOT
WANT THROUGH THIS MECHANISM THAT
INFORMATION THAT CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION OF EVEN OF A TAX.
FRAUD VIOLATOR TO TO NECESSARILY
BE PUBLIC THOSE THOSE RECORDS
ARE.
ARE TO BE PROTECTED.
SO WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK THROUGH
SOME OF THESE TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE ARE FRAMING THIS IN THE WAY
THAT HE'S ABLE OF GIVING THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL THE ABILITY TO
GO AFTER TAX FRAUD.
CLOSE THAT TAX GAP HAPPY TO TALK
ABOUT THE LIMITS THAT THAT YOU
AND I IT TOOK DISCUSSED EARLIER.
AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT THEY
MAKE SENSE IN THIS CONTEXT
ALTHOUGH FUNDAMENTALLY IF
SOMEONE IS THE FRAUD IN THE
STATE.
AT THE TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLAR LEVEL OF THE TWO MILLION
DOLLAR LEVEL.
AS TAXPAYERS WE SHOULD ALL.
ACTUALLY BE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
BUT GIVEN THE PENALTIES THE
PENALTIES ARE IN INTENTIONALLY
STRICT ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE THAT
THIS IS BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY
AND THAT THE TOOLS.
CAN BE EFFECTIVE THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE REALLY TIES I WOULD NEVER
QUESTION WAS RAISED ABOUT NEW
YORK STATE.
THERE IS SOME PRELIMINARY
INFORMATION ABOUT THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF NEW YORK WE
LOOKS LIKE THAT IS EFFECTIVE AND
I THINK THE AG HAS THAT
INFORMATION AND CAN ADDRESS THAT
ISSUE. FOR SURE SIR WHY NEW YORK.
IN TWENTY TEN NEW YORK ENACTED.
A VERY SIMILAR A STATUTE UPON
WHICH WERE BASING THIS AMENDMENT --
THEY HAVE COLLECTED HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS UNDER THEIR
FALSE CLAIMS XSTRATA STORY.
AS A COMMITTEES A SUMMARY
INDICATES -- DAVID THE LARGEST
SETTLEMENT WAS A THREE AND A
THIRTY MILLION DOLLAR SETTLEMENT
WITH SPRINT -- SO THEY'VE BEEN
VERY SUCCESSFUL.
SO WE'VE FOLLOW THEIR PATTERN
BUT WE'VE MADE SOME WHAT WE
THINK OR SOME IMPROVEMENTS.
OF FOR CALIFORNIA.
OUR STATUES ENTRY MORE
RESTRICTIVE ON WHAT THE PRIVATE
LAWYER A KEY TâM CAN DO.
UNLIKE NEW YORK WE SPECIFICALLY
PUT IN A PROVISION THAT SAYS THE
PRIVATE.
PLAINTIFF CANNOT GET ACCESS TO
THE TAXING AUTHORITIES RECORDS.
WE ALSO HAVE PLENTY OF AUTHORITY
UNDER THE FALSE CLAIMS ACT IN
THE EXISTS.
THE CABIN IN THE WORK OF A
PRIVATE PLAINTIFF OR A A PRIVATE
LAWYER.
WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO GET
THE CASE DISMISSED.
WE CAN FORCES SETTLEMENT.
WE CAN LIMIT THEIR PARTICIPATION
IN THE PROCEEDINGS.
AND OUR EXPERIENCE.
IS THAT WE WILL EXERCISE.
THOSE REMEDIES MEANS WE DON'T
WANT.
OUR BOSS CLAIMS ACT WHICH WE USE
ALL THE TIME WE DON'T WANT THAT
TO BE USED FOR HARASSMENT.
HELLO WE RESIST THAT I SHOULD
SAY THAT -- UNDERSTANDING FROM
NEW YORK AND IS A PRACTICE THAT
WE WOULD FOLLOW.
IS THAT IT THEY MAKE IT CLEAR IF
IT WASN'T ALREADY THAT IF THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE IS
CONSULTING WITH THE TAXES SORRY.
AND CONCLUDES THE CASE LACKS
MERIT.
DECLINES THE CASE THAT SENDS A
VERY STRONG SIGNAL TO PRIVATE
COUNSEL -- TTM WHO ARE AFTER ALL
PROFIT MOTIVATED BECAUSE THAT'S
THE WHOLE ENGINE OF THE FALSE
CLAIMS ACT.
IT SENDS A SIGNAL TO THEM THAT
THEY SHOULDN'T SPEND ANY MORE
MONEY CASE IN CASE THERE'S NOT
GOING TO GET ANYWHERE.
AND WE'VE BEEN -- PRETTY
SUCCESSFUL DISCOURAGING PEOPLE
UNDER THE ACT AS IT EXISTS.
AND WE'RE PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT
WOULD.
BE THE CASE.
WITH TAX AUTHORITY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH WOULD LIKE TO
TURN IT OVER QUESTIONS COMES
WITH SEMESTER.
OKAY THANK YOU [inaudible]
TENER.
LIKE TO SEE IF -- CENTER IF YOU
HAVE ANY CLOSING COMMENTS.
I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
THAT WE ARE.
WORKING ON IN LIGHT OF THE
OPPOSITION BUT THE PURPOSE OF
THIS BILL IS REALLY VERY CLEAR
GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF TAX DOLLARS
THAT ARE OUT THERE ON COLLECTED.
I THINK WE OWE IT TO ALL THE
TAXPAYERS WHO ARE PAYING TAXES
APPROPRIATELY TO DO WHATEVER WE
CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COLLECT
THEM.
AT THE PENALTIES OF SEVERE THE
PENALTIES ARE SEVERE FOR TAX
FRAUD WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO
THROUGH THE AMENDMENTS AND
WORKING WITH THE OPPOSITION IS
MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE SETTING.
APPROPRIATE LEVELS AND EXCLUDING.
VIEWS SO THAT THERE'S NOT A
THREAT OF USING A PROVISION LIKE
THIS AS AN UNWIELDY HAMMER.
FORCE FOR A LEGITIMATE TAX
DISPUTE BUT ONCE IT'S DETERMINED
THAT THERE HAS BEEN TAX FRAUD.
WE SHOULD BE ALLOWING THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL TO GO AFTER
THAT TAX FRAUD IN THE PENALTIES
SHOULD BE SEVERE BECAUSE OF THE
OVERALL WHAT IT COSTS TAXPAYERS
WOULD COST ALL OF US WHEN THOSE
WHO ARE NOT PAYING TACK WHO ARE --
TAXES ARE NOT PAYING THEM AND
WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
AND I'VE THANK YOU SO MUCH AS A
MEMBER -- IS THERE A MOTION TO
BE ABLE TO ADVANCE THE SIDE OF
NUMBER WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO IS
WE'RE GONNA HOLD THIS BILL FOR
THE MOMENT.
I WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL
INDIVIDUALS COMING WE WILL
ADVANCE EMOTION AN ITEM.
THIRTEEN AB TWELVE SEVENTY THANK
YOU WHEN I SAY THANK YOU RIGHT
THANK YOU SO MUCH PLEASE THINK
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S WELL AND
THANK YOU TO OUR OPPOSITION.
MEMBERS WE KNOW WOULD LIKE TO BE
REMOVED FOR AN ITEM NUMBER EIGHT
I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO
RECOGNIZE THE MEMBER GALLAGHER.
SUMMER GALLAGHER HAS BEEN
ABSOLUTE CHAMPION FOR THE FOLKS
AT HE WORKS -- FOR UP IN YOU CAN

OTHERS AS WE SEEK.
TO RECOVER FROM THE CAMPFIRE --
NOTE THAT WE WERE JUST IN
ANOTHER COMMITTEE TOGETHER ON
ANOTHER ISSUE -- THAT IS ALSO
VERY IMPORTANT JIM GARDNER MERGE
RESPONSE BUT AB -- FOUR THIRTY
IS VERY FOCUSED ON HOUSING.
WE'VE LOST -- 14%.
OF BUTTE COUNTY'S HOUSING STOCK
ALMOST FIFTEEN THOUSAND HOMES.
ARE OF WE'VE FALLEN SEVENTEEN
PLACES MORE THAN ANY OTHER
COUNTY ON THE AFFORDABILITY
INDEX.
SO WE HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM
WITH HOUSING IN THE REGION AB
FOR THIRTY WOULD PROVIDE A
MINISTERIAL APPROVAL PROCESS FOR
HOUSING.
IN CITIES WITHIN THE CAMP FIRE
REGION -- AND SO -- IT'S SIMILAR
TO WHAT WE'VE DONE THIS OTHER
LEGISLATION OTHER PIECES OF
LEGISLATION INCLUDING SB THIRTY
FIVE FROM A COUPLE YEARS BACK --
BUT IS FOCUSED ON TRYING TO
STREAMLINED HOUSING PROJECTS.
IN THE AREAS AFFECTED BY THE
CAMPFIRE -- LOT OF DIFFERENT
RESTRICTIONS ON THIS THAT I
THINK MAKE SURE THAT IS GOING TO
BE RESPONSIBLE GROWTH -- BUT THE
WAY TO SUM IT UP IS THIS BILL.
PROVIDES THAT WHERE WE'VE
PLANNED FOR HOUSING IN OUR
GENERAL PLANS IN OUR ZONING.
LET'S BUILD IT.
SO THAT WE CAN GET MUCH NEEDED
HOUSING IN OF ALL LEVELS -- TO
PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED I THE
FUTURE.

AMENDMENTS YOU'RE GOOD YOU'RE
GOOD -- GERMAN WELCOME THE
COMMITTEE WHO WOULD LIKE TO GO
TO KICK US OFF.
I WILL THANK YOU GOOD AFTERNOON
SENATORS MY NAME IS MATTHEW
BAKER WITH THE PLANNING
CONSERVATION AGAIN UNFORTUNATELY
HERE TO OPPOSE THIS PROPOSAL
TODAY. TWO MINUTES -- TURNING
CONSERVATION LEAGUE HAS GREAT
SYMPATHY FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE
CAMPFIRE AS WE DO WITH ALL THE
COMMUNITY STRUCK BY.
INCREASINGLY DEVASTATING FIRES A
RECENT YEARS AND WE ARE ERY
COMMITTED. TO IDENTIFYING THE
APPROPRIATE STREAMLINING
MECHANISM -- ERROR PROCESS FOR
ACCELERATING RECOVERY IN THESE
COMMUNITIES WHICH COULD INCLUDE.
A SEQUEL STREAMLINING MECHANISM --
WE DID NOT THINK THAT THIS IS
THE CORRECT APPROACH.
WE CAN THEN DISCUSS WITH THE
APPROPRIATE THREE MONEY
MECHANISM IS -- BUT WITHOUT SUCH
A PLAN WE ARE HERE NO VOTE.
AS RECENTLY AS LAST YEAR WE WORK
IN STRONG SUPPORT OF THE SANTA
ROSA RECOVERY BILL -- TWO TWO
SIX SEVEN THAT BILL BY
COMPARISON WAS ONLY EXPEDITED --
JUDICIAL REVIEW NOT A FULL
SEQUEL EXEMPTION IT HAD STRONG
INFILL CRITERIA IT HAD STRONG
TRANSPORTATION EFFICIENCY METRIC
FOR FOR V. M. T. NGH G..
IT HAD EXPLICIT AFFORDABLE
HOUSING REQUIREMENTS AND AN ANTI
DISPLACEMENT PROTECTIONS --
THESE ARE ALL SIMILAR THINGS TO
SB -- THIRTY FIVE WHICH IS SET
THE STANDARD FOR MINISTERIAL
APPROVAL -- THIS BILL
[inaudible]
WE ARE HAPPY THAT IT HAS BEEN
INCLUDED TO HAVE THESE
EXCLUSIONS OF SENSITIVE AREAS.
AND WE APPRECIATE SOME OF THE
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE
COMMITTEE TO THAT AND WE DO NOT
THINK THAT THAT IS ENOUGH --
BEYOND THAT IS JUST REALLY
GENERALLY -- GENERAL PLAN
CONSISTENCY THAT WOULD BE.
THE WOULD GOVERN THE VERY
SWEEPING SEQUEL EXEMPTION.
AND GENERAL PLANS JUST SIMPLY DO
NOT HAVE THE KIND OF SPECIFICITY.
TO TO IDENTIFY PERSONAL SPECIFIC
IMPACTS OR REGIONAL ACUMINATE
IMPACTS AND QUESTIONS OF
INFRASTRUCTURE WHETHER THEY'RE
CORRECT INFRASTRUCTURE IS IN
PLACE -- GENERAL PLANS ARE NOT
FISCALLY CONSTRAINED THE WAY
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION DARN OR
ARE THEY A CONSTRAINT TO THE GHG
REDUCTION MANDATES FOR REGION'S.
THREE SEVENTY FIVE THESE ARE ALL
THINGS THAT WE THINK SHOULD BE
IN CONSIDERATION OF WITH A
RECOVERY PLAN AS WELL AS MAKING
SURE THAT WE'RE NOT DUPLICATING
THE FURTHERMORE THE MOST
IMPORTANTLY. TWO TWO SIX SEVEN
DID HAVE A PLAN.
OF WE HAD MAPS WE HAD A
DEFINITIVE PLAN IN PLACE FOR
WHERE THESE INVESTMENTS WOULD GO
AND THEY WERE CONSISTENT WITH A
ALREADY APPROVED.
COMMUNITY VETTED MASTER PLAN FOR
THE DOWNTOWN SANTA ROSA AREA.
WE STRONGLY URGE THE AUTHOR TO
GO BACK. TO THESE COMMUNITIES
AND DEVELOP.
SUCH A PLAN WITH YOU KNOW CROSS
JURISDICTIONAL COOPERATION
ROBUST COMMUNITY INPUT. TO
ENSURE THAT THIS PLAN.
NOT ONLY PROVIDE FOR THE HOUSING
NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY BUT
REFLECTS.
THE OTHER DESIRES OF THE
COMMUNITY FOR HOW THEY WANT
THEIR COMMUNITY REBUILT.
AND ALSO WOULD DEMONSTRATE
ACHIEVEMENT OF STATE MANDATES
FOR FOR GIGI AND EQUITY.
AND AND WITH THAT WE WOULD SAY.
PLEASE DEVELOP THIS PLAN AT THAT
POINT WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE
A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT THE
APPROPRIATE STREAMLINING
MECHANISM IS.
WITHOUT THAT PLAN THE URGING OF
THAT RESPECTFULLY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU'RE WELCOME
HANG WITH US IF YOU LIKE PLACER
WELCOME PERSON LESS ORGANIZATION
IN THE FOR SOURCE TWO MINUTES
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
ON WILL MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
STAFF MY NAME IS RICHARD HERMAN
I'M GENERAL COUNSEL.
THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE CENTER.
I'M APPEARING HERE THIS
AFTERNOON ON BEHALF OF OUR
ORGANIZATION.
AND ALSO THE BUTTE ENVIRONMENTAL
COUNCIL AND OTHER COALITION OF
PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDER HERE TO
OPPOSE AS WELL.
OUR POSITION HAS EVOLVED
SOMEWHAT AND I WANTED TO DO
THROUGH THE CHAIR DIRECT MY
QUESTION -- TO THE ASSEMBLYMAN
AUTHOR.
DID HE ASK SAY HE'S ACCEPTED ALL
SIX OF THE AMENDMENTS THAT WERE
REQUESTED THROUGH.
CHAIRMAN ALAN AT THE ENVIRONMENT
QUALITY COMMITTEE MEETING.
WILL COME BACK TO THAT I I HAVE
THAT WRITTEN DOWN AND MAKE SURE
NEVER COME SAGE AND ALSO WE'RE
HERE TO SUPPORT THE PLANNING
CONSERVATION LEAGUES ANALYSIS AS
WELL.
WE THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT WAY TO
GO.
OUR FOCUS THIS AFTERNOON THOUGH
IN THIS COMMITTEE IS LARGELY
FOCUSED ON OUR CONCERNS ABOUT
THE FACT THAT THERE'S BEEN NO
FISCAL ANALYSIS DONE.
OF WHAT THE POTENTIAL UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES ARE.
THE CIVIC LEE WITH RESPECT TO
THE RATE OF GROWTH IN A
RELATIVELY SMALL COMMUNITIES.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE BILL ANALYSIS
THAT WAS PERFORMED BY MS WONG
FOR THE SENATE.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMITTEE
OF REVIEW.
SHE ADDRESSED THE ISSUES THAT
WE'RE MOST CONCERNED ABOUT.
AND THAT IS IS THAT.
IF YOU HAVE A VERY FAST RATE OF
GROWTH WITH THE GENERAL PLANS
BEING AS THEY ARE NONE OF THEM
ANTICIPATED WHAT'S HAPPENED SO.
TO THE EXTENT THE CHIU GENESIS
THE RAY SHOULD RATE OF GROWTH
AND THE BUILDING SPEED WHICH THE
BILL IS INTENDED TO DO.
YOU'RE GONNA SENSUALLY BLOW OUT
THE GENERAL PLAN IN THE SMALL
COMMUNITIES.
SO THE COMMUNITIES ARE THEN
GOING TO HAVE ADDITIONAL COST TO
HAVE TO UPDATE AND REDO THEIR
GENERAL PLANS WHICH IS NOT
ADDRESSED IN THIS BILL.
SECONDLY WE DON'T THINK THAT THE
SEQUEL EXEMPTION IS NECESSARY IF
THERE'S PROPER INFILL
DEVELOPMENT AND THIRDLY WHAT
WERE LARGELY CONCERNED ABOUT IS
IS THIS BILL IS DESIGNED. TO
FAST TRACK SUBDIVISION --
DEVELOPMENTS OF FIFTY ACRES OR
MORE CUMULATIVELY OR OTHERWISE.
IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION
OF THE COMMITTEE AT THE PREVIOUS
HEARING THE SUBDIVISION MAP ACT
WILL STILL HAVE TO BE COMPLIED
WITH.
AND IN THE AMENDMENTS TO THE
BILL THE AUTHOR IS ADDED A
HEARING PRIOR.
TO THE APPLICATION FOR THIS
STREAMLINED.
OUR PROCESSES PROPOSED IN THE
BILL.
HOWEVER WITHOUT SICK BUT IT'S
YOUR RELEVANT WITH SEQUEL IS NOT
THE PROBLEM.
AND THE STAFF REPORT FROM THE
ENVIRONMENT QUALITY COMMITTEE
ADDRESSES THAT.
AND THE OTHER THING THAT THE
COMMITTEE.
ABOUT THIRTY SECONDS -- THANK
YOU.
THE OTHER THING THAT THE
COMMITTEE ADDRESS WAS THE FACT
THAT WITHOUT HAVING
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW WE'RE NOT
GOING TO KNOW WHAT THE
INFRASTRUCTURE.
COSTS WILL BE NOR DO WE KNOW THE
VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED.
AND THE CUMULATIVE AIR QUALITY
MEASURES MEASURES THAT WOULD BE
NEEDED TO BE TAKEN SO WE REMAIN.
OF TO AVAILABLE TO WORK WITH THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER I HAVE AN
APPOINTMENT TO MEET WITH THEM ON
FRIDAY.
BUT AT THIS POINT WE REMAIN
OPPOSED UNLESS IT'S AMENDED TO
ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS THANK YOU
SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR BEING
COMMITTEE TODAY YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE YOU HANG THERE AND WE'RE
GONNA OPEN UP FOR THOSE WHO RE
ALSO OPPOSED IF YOU COULD PLEASE
COME FORWARD.
LOOKING FOR YOUR FIRST AND LAST
NAME AN ORGANIZATION GOOD
AFTERNOON MA'AM AND THANK YOU
FOR BEING WITH US ALL DAY DELAYS
I'M GRACE MARVIN I'M A RETIRED
SOCIOLOGY PROFESSOR.
AND MY SPECIAL DEARY WAS
COMMUNITY AND I'M NOW ON A
COMMUNITY AND ACTIVISTS IN
CONSERVATION ACTIVISTS.
I'D RATHER THAN REPEAT.
MANY OF THE ITEMS THAT WERE
ALREADY LISTED I'M GOING TO JUST
MENTION A COUPLE OF OTHERS THAT
I WOULD LIKE.
TO HAVE YOU.
CONCERNED ABOUT AND THAT IS ONE
MORE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS
COMMITTEE ALTHOUGH THERE ARE
SUPPOSEDLY NO COST ASSOCIATED
WITH A. B. FOUR THIRTY IN ACTUAL
FACT.
THERE ARE TREMENDOUS
INFRASTRUCTURE CLERICAL AND FIRE
FIRE FIGHTING COSTS FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AS WELL AS SOME FOR
THE STATE FOR EXAMPLE REPAIRING
AND EXPANDING ROUTES NINETY NINE
AND THIRTY TO GET CALIFORNIA
TAXPAYERS WOULD HAVE TO BEAR
SUCH COSTS UNDER.
FOR THIRTY WITHOUT THE NECESSARY
INPUT BY THE PUBLIC AND THEIR
ELECTEDOFFICIALS.
SUCH INPUT IS ESSENTIAL FOR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN ASSESSING
COSTS WATER SEWERS ROSE THAT
WILL INEVITABLY ACCOMPANY THE
URBAN SPRAWL THAT AB FOR THIRTY
PROJECTS WILL.
EMULATE MORE OVER THE BILL'S
TOTALLY INSUFFICIENT REGARD AT
THE DEMOGRAPHIC DATA AND OF THE
NEEDS OF LOW INCOME SURVIVORS OF
THE CAMPFIRE WOULD RESULT IN.
GREATER STATE AND LOCAL
SUBSIDIES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
IF THERE IS NOT ENOUGH
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR HOMELESS
CAMP FIRE VICTIMS THESE
GOVERNMENTS WILL NEED TO DEAL
WITH EVER GROWING AMOUNTS OF
HOMELESSNESS.
WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF SEQUEL
LOCAL COMMUNITIES WILL NOT HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO WEIGH IN ON
THE COSTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
SUCH AS HARMS TO THE NATURAL
ENVIRONMENT.
AIR WATER PARKS AND PUBLIC
HEALTH AS NOTED IN THE JUNE
TWENTY NINTH.
THE COMMENTS OF THE CENTER FOR
BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY.
THE BLANKET SEQUEL EXEMPTION FOR
NEW HOUSING WILL CONFLICT WITH
EXISTING STATE POLICY AND LAW WE
STRONGLY.
OPPOSE THEM IN IRAQ TYPICALLY
WHAT WE DO WHEN FOLKS ARE THIS
SECTION IS THEY'LL GIVE THE
FIRST AND LAST OKAY I IN I ONLY
HAVE TWO SENSES.
THAT'S OKAY AND I JUST WANT TO
SAY THIS IS GOING TO ASK YOU HOW
MUCH TIME YOU NEED AND WE'RE
JUST GONNA ASK A DIFFERENT
CONCLUSION ABOUT THIRTY SECONDS
HOPE WILL THANK YOU THINK OKAY.
THE BLANKET SEEK WHAT EXEMPTION
FOR NEW HOUSING WILL CONFLICT
WITH EXISTING STATE POLICY AND
LAW WHICH STRONGLY EMPHASIZES
THE NEED TO REDUCE CRITERIA AIR
POLLUTANTS IN CARBON EMISSIONS.
AND FINALLY I'M ASKING YOU
PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT AB FOR
THIRTY WITH ITS MANY HIDDEN
COSTS TO OUR COMMUNITIES STATE
AND RESIDENT OF CALIFORNIA THANK
YOU I APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE
WITH US THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MA'AM WOULD LET
ME JUST ASK YOU BEFORE YOU GET
STARTED.
KEEP YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT A
MINUTE MA'AM BUT THAT'S THE
APPROPRIATE CAN OKAY PLEASE.
YEAH I'M A LISBETH DEVEREAUX.
AND I'M AN ARCHITECTURAL GLASS
ARTISTS TO HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS
FOR FIFTY YEARS.
ANAHEIM AN ACTIVIST AS WELL I
WAS ON THE GENERAL PLAN TASK
FORCE IN CHICO.
AND ALSO STARTED THE CAR TO GO
SUSTAINABILITY GROUP -- AND I
THINK YOU KNOW JUST A FEW
COMMENTS ONE IS THAT THERE.
IS NO EVIDENCE YET THAT THE CAMP
FIRE VICTIMS CAN ACTUALLY AFFORD
THE HOUSING THIS PROPOSED.
FOR EIGHTY FOUR THIRTY WE
BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE MORE
DOWNS BUT FIRST WE HAVE TO HAVE
MORE DATA AND I THINK I'M WITH
THE OTHER PEOPLE ON THAT THAT
THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE ANALYSIS
MADE.
BEFORE GOES FORWARD.
AND ALSO -- I THINK IN THE LAST
TEN YEARS THE LEGISLATURE'S
REALLY FOCUSED ON CLIMATE CHANGE.
AND CARBON EMISSIONS AND YOU.
ALSO CALLED THIS EARLIER A
CRITICAL ISSUE AND THE PROPOSED
DEVELOPMENT WILL CREATE COMMUTER
TRAFFIC.
AND CARBON EMISSIONS WHICH CAN'T
BE MITIGATED.
SO THE IRONY OF THIS IS THAT IS
CREATING MORE CONDITIONS WHICH
EXASPERATED THE CAMPFIRE
[inaudible]
EXACERBATED THE CAMP HIKER.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION AND I WOULD OPPOSE
UNLESS THERE ARE AMENDMENTS MADE
AND SOME FISCAL ANALYSIS THANK
YOU SO MUCH ROOM VERY GRATEFUL.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION
AND I DO APOLOGIZE ARE MEAN
INTERRUPTED MA'AM THANK YOU FOR
ALLOWING ME INTERRUPT YOU WOULD
LIKE TO BE TO SEE IF THERE IS.
ANYONE ELSE WHO'D LIKE TO SPEAK
IN OPPOSITION.
XENA WOULD LIKE TO COME BACK TO
THE COMMITTEE I THINK JUST THREE
ITEMS AND THEN I'D LIKE TO TURN
IT OVER TO THE SOME NUMBER TO
GET A COMMENT THAT I LIKE TO
TURN OVER TO CENTER NIELSEN.
AS I KNOW THIS IS CRITICAL FOR
HIM.
ON THE SUIT.
I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE
APPROXIMATELY SIX IN INFANCY
TAKE A LOOK AT I THINK THIS
ASSEMBLYMEMBER TOOK.
THREE OBVIOUSLY -- ADDING A
PUBLIC MEETING -- IT ADVANCING
REPORT -- TO P. R. -- NGUYEN
THIS BILL IS UTILIZED AND IN
THREE OBVIOUSLY COOPERATING WITH
TRIBES IN FOCUSING ON TRAVEL
RESOURCES AND I KNOW THAT'S THE
ONE THAT'S INVOLVING YOUR
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE RENTAL
OF THE WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH BUT
PLEASE CONTINUE.
YEAH I MEAN SO.
MR HERMAN'S WELL AWARE IN THE
LAST COMMITTEE ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY WE TOOK THREE OF THEIR
AMENDMENTS WE DID NOT TAKE THE
OTHER.
THREE AND WHAT I SAID I'M TAKING
A MEMBERS I'M TAKING YOUR
COMMITTEES.
AMENDMENTS SO.
IT NO NO NO ABSOLUTELY THAT I'M
JUST GOING OVER THE ONES THAT
WERE YEAH IF YOU.
IN IN AN ENVIRONMENT QUALITY
THOSE THE THREE THE I DISCUSSED
SO THREATENS.
AND CERTAINLY I CAN I CAN'T HELP
BUT RESPOND TO SOME OF THE
THINGS.
YOU KNOW THAT WERE BROUGHT UP.
PERSONAL APPRECIATE MR BUBBLERS
CONCERN -- FOR OUR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES AND AND PLANNING
PROCESS.
I INTRODUCED THIS BILL EARLY IN
THE YEAR.
THEY JUST RECENTLY CAME ON IN
OPPOSITION LAST WEEK EVEN THOUGH
THE BILL'S BEEN IN PRINT. FOR
MANY MONTHS NOW -- AND MAYBE IF
IF THEY HAD TAKEN THE TIME.
TO INVESTIGATE THEY WOULD KNOW
THAT NUMBER ONE WE'VE BEEN
WORKING WITH THE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES SINCE DAY.
ONE SINCE THE CAMPFIRE --
STARTED AND THE AFTERMATH.
WE CENTER NIELSEN AYE SENATOR
DOLLY HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH ARE
LOCALS AND THEY ALSO KNOW.
EVERY SINGLE CITY AND COMMUNITY.
THAT'S AFFECTED BY A BEFORE.
THIRTY IS AN OFFICIAL SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL -- SO IN TERMS OF THE
PLANNING THIS BEING.
THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE WE'VE BEEN
DOING IT.
AND THAT'S WHY WERE INTRODUCED
IN THIS BILL.
ARE WORKING AND PEOPLE SEEM TO
FORGET THAT THERE IS A GENERAL
PLAN IN PLACE IN EACH OF THE
CITIES.
THAT WENT THROUGH A LOT OF
SCRUTINY -- AND THAT PEOPLE HAVE
MADE PLANS TO DO RESIDENTIAL
GROWTH ALL LEVELS OF RESIDENTIAL
GROWTH INFILL YES.
MULTI FAMILY S. BUT ALSO SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES.
AND I KNOW THE PEOPLE HERE FROM
CHICO SEEM TO KNOW MORE ABOUT.
WHAT PEOPLE IN PARADISE NEED
APPARENTLY?
MENTOR ART ARE HERE DETAINEE
UNTIL IN THOSE PEOPLE THEY
SHOULD LIVE IN DANCE.
HOUSING OBVIOUSLY NOT KNOWING
THAT NINE THOUSAND HOMES IN
PARADISE WERE SINGLE FAMILY
HOMES.
BY THE WAY -- AND ALL WE ARE
TRYING TO DO.
IN THIS CASE IS REPLACE THE
HOUSING STOCK THAT WE HAVE LOST
THAT ALL LEVELS.
I THINK THAT THE OPPONENTS IN
THIS ROOM.
DON'T LIKE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES
WELL THAT'S FINE MAYBE SOME OF
THEM ACTUALLY LIVE IN THEM BUT
THEY DON'T WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO
HAVE A BUT THAT'S BEYOND BESIDES
THE POINT.
THAT DOES NEED TO BE PART OF THE
HOUSING STOCK AND IT WILL HELP
PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN
THE REGION IN ADDITION.
TO ALL OTHER LEVELS OF HOUSING
THAT WORD AND IT WILL BE ALLOWED
TO GO FORWARD IN A MINISTERIAL
STREAMLINED PROCESS.
PURSUANT TO THIS BILL.
THIS DOESN'T ALLOW ANYBODY TO GO
OUTSIDE OF THE GENERAL PLAN.
IT DOESN'T ALLOW ANYBODY TO GO
OUTSIDE OF THE ZONING THAT'S
ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR THE
COMMUNITIES.
AND I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT
BECAUSE THIS KEEPS GETTING.
PRODUCT THAT SOMEHOW THIS IS
GONNA LEAP FROG INFRASTRUCTURE.
FOR THE THERE WERE YOU KNOW THEY
WON'T BE ALLOWED TO BE THE
PLANNING AND THE GENERAL PLAN
YOU HAVE TO BUILD.
AS AS ALL OF US IN LOCAL
GOVERNMENT THAT CAME OUT OF THE
SNOW.
DEVELOPMENT STILL HAS TO FALL
ALL INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS
OUTLINED IN THE GENERAL PLAN.
IN OUTLINE THE DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENT.
AND THEY START TO PAY ALL
DEVELOPER IMPACT FEES ASSOCIATED
THERE WITH.
THIS BILL DOES NOTHING TO CHANGE
THAT.
ALL IT DOES IS TRY AND
STREAMLINED PROJECTS THAT WE
HAVE ALREADY PLANNED.
FOR IN THE REGION SO I APOLOGIZE
MISTER CHAIR MAYBE GET.
ME AN OVERLY BUT THERE'S A LOT
OF PROTECTIONS IN THIS BILL TO
MAKE SURE IT'S RESPONSIBLE
GROWTH CONSISTENT WITH.
LOCAL PLANS THAT HAVE BEEN
ESTABLISHED.
AND IT IS A MUCH NEEDED THIS IS
AN EMERGENCY SITUATION IS AN
UNPRECEDENTED SITUATION.
WE'VE HAD AN ENTIRE TOWN
DECIMATED IN LAS.
AND WE KNOW THAT WE NEED HOUSING
AND WE DON'T WE QUITE FRANKLY I
DON'T HAVE TIME.
HER NAME BE ISM.
AND I DON'T HAVE TIME. FOR
RADICAL PLANS THAT HAVE NOTHING
TO DO WITH HELPING PEOPLE.
REBUILD IN THE AFTERMATH OF THIS
DISASTER.
WE HAVE WE DON'T HAVE WE CAN'T
GO BACK.
I'M LOSING PEOPLE RIGHT NOW I'M
LOSING PEOPLE MOVING TO OTHER
STATES I'M LOSING.
EMPLOYERS IN OUR REGION ARE
LOSING CRITICAL WORK FORCE AS WE
SPEAK RIGHT NOW EVERY DAY THAT
GOES BY.
IS DRASTICALLY AFFECT IN OUR
COMMUNITY.
AND SO.
I THINK WE'VE BUILT IN AGAIN.
MANY PROTECTIONS THAT ENSURE
THIS IS.
RESPONSIBLE GROWTH -- BUT WE
NEED TO ENSURE A STREAMLINED
PROCESS AND I WILL NOT ALLOW
THINGS ARE GOING.
TO TRY AND GET IN THE WAY OF
THAT AND I APPRECIATE THE
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT THAT WE'VE
HAD FOR THIS BILL THROUGHOUT THE
PROCESS SEC PLUS SEVENTY PLUS
VOTES IN THE ASSEMBLY.
AND I ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL
CONTINUE TO HAVE VERY STRONG
SUPPORT HERE IN THE SENATE
CERTAINLY FROM YOU MISTER

I REPRESENTED I'M TRYING TO STAY
CALM AND COOL BECAUSE YOU'RE
YOU'RE HEARING WAS SO
INSTRUCTIVE TO THE TO ME THIS
MORNING.
HOPEFULLY I CAN ENGAGED TO THE
CHAIR AND COLLEGIAL DISCOURSE
WITH THE SENATOR HERE.
WE'RE NOT HERE ON IDEOLOGICAL
CAMPAIGN.
WE'RE HERE'S ADDRESSING THIS
PARTICULAR BILL AND THE REASON
FOR THIS PARTICULAR BILL.
AND AS A STAFF REPORT FROM THE
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMITTEE
STATED HOWEVER WHETHER PARADISE
RESIDENTS WILL RELOCATE TO THESE
CITIES IS SPECULATIVE.
AND IN THE MEANTIME OTHERWISE
APPEARS TO BE A FREE PASS FOR
DEVELOPMENT IN.
THE AREA.
THE RIGHT NOW WHAT ARE OBJECTION
IS TO THE MERITS OF THE BILL IS
THE LACK OF RECORD.
EVIDENCE OF THE DATA ANALYSIS OR
OTHER SUPPORT FOR THE CONCLUSION
THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED SUCH A
RAPID INCREASE IN GROWTH.%
ANYWHERE BECAUSE THE PEOPLE HAVE
ALREADY LEFT SENATOR.
AND THE EXPERTS ON THE ECONOMIC
DISASTER ANALYSIS COMING FROM
STATUS YOU MAY FROM CINEMA STATE.
UNIVERSITY ARE THAT WITHIN ONE
YEARS 50% OF MY GUN AND NEITHER
THE SENATOR NOR THE ASSEMBLY MEN
CAN CHANGE THAT.
SO WHAT WE'RE FOCUSED ON IS THE
DATA AND THE FACTS THAT SUPPORT.
AN ILLOGICAL CONCLUSION THAT IS
THE PREMISE FOR THIS BILL WE ARE
NOT INSENSITIVE SENATOR I'M ONE
OF THE ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING
PEOPLE FROM PARADISE SUING P.
JEANNIE.
I AND I CAN ASSURE YOU SIR WITH
ALL DUE RESPECT I'VE INTERVIEWED
MANY OF THEM AND I KNOW THEIR
PSYCHOLOGICAL ISSUES THE POSTER
EVAN DRAMATIC STRESS DISORDER
HAVE YOU DELIGHT YOUR COMMENTS
TO ME PLEASE I BEG YOUR PARDON
SIR.
BUT I I KNOW FROM I KNOW FROM
HAVING TALKED WITH THEM AND THEN
THE NUMBERS OF THEM THAT ARE
ALREADY GONE THE PEOPLE THAT
HAVE THE MONEY.
ARE ALREADY GONE THE INSURANCE
COMPANIES HAVE ALREADY PAID OFF
MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE THEY'RE
GONE THE PEOPLE WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT HERE.
AND THAT ASSEMBLYMAN GALLAGHER
IS A TRY ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS
IS A RELATIVELY SMALL GROUP OF
PEOPLE THAT CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY
HOUSES ANYWHERE IN CHICO.
NOW BACK TO CHICO ON THAT%
PARTICULAR POINT CHICO HAS FIFTY
EIGHT HUNDRED UNITS ALREADY TO
GO IN THE PIPELINE.
THAT UNDER OUR GENERAL PLAN IN
CHICO WILL ACCOMMODATE THEM THEY
DON'T NEED THIS BILL. TWO FIFTY
HUNDRED FIFTY EIGHT HUNDRED
RIGHT THERE SO WHAT THE PREMISES
THAT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE
YOU APPROVE THIS BILL IS.
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE YOU REALLY
GOING TO BE SERVING HOW MANY
REALLY NEED THIS STREAMLINED
APPROACH WHAT'S REALLY AT RISK
HERE?
IS MASSIVE LARGE SCALE
DEVELOPMENT OF SUBDIVISIONS OF
FIFTY ACRES OR MORE IN SMALL
TOWNS THAT ARE GOING TO BE USING
INFRASTRUCTURE THIS PAID FOR BY
THE TAXPAYERS AND WHEN IT ISN'T
THERE YOU'RE SHIFTING THE COST.
OF THE DEVELOPMENT TO THE
TAXPAYERS IN THE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS I APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT THANK YOU
SO MUCH WHAT I'D LIKE TO BE IN
TO DO -- GENTLEMAN IS AT LIKE TO
BE TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS FROM CENTER
NIELSEN.
I THEN WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO
SEE -- I HAVE A FEW QUICK
COMMENTS IN ON INTERNET OVER TO
THIS AND THEY WERE TO BE ABLE TO
CLOSE.
THEIR NIELSEN WITH THEIR THEIR
ANY -- CLOSING TIMES YOU'D LIKE
TO BE ABLE TO ADVANCE.
OKAY THANK YOU SO MUCH SENATOR
LOOK HE HE HERE'S MY BOTTOM LINE
ON THIS.
NUMBER ONE THERE'S A SUNSET ON
THIS ISSUE.
IT IT'S UNCERTAIN.
TWENTY TWENTY SIX REASON WHY
THERE IS A SUNSET ON THIS ISSUES
BECAUSE FOCUSING ON URGENCY.
WE CAN'T JUST FOCUS ON PARADISE
WHERE TO FOCUS ON THE REGION.
ENTIRE REGION HAS BEEN IMPACTED.
IN TRYING TO BE A TO KEEP.
AS MANY FOLKS WITHIN THE REGION.
TO KEEP THE REGION VIBRANT.
I'M COUPLE OTHER ITEMS.
THERE IS NO PRECLUSION.
IN THIS BILL WILL NOT PRECLUDING
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FROM
COLLECTING FEES IN WHAT WE KNOW
THAT WHEN WE DO SEE ADDITIONAL
STOCK BUILT.
OF HOMES WHETHER MULTI FAMILY OR
SINGLE FAMILY WE WILL SEE
INCREASE FEES COLLECTED.
THE OTHER CHALLENGE THE PARADISE
HAS.
WHEN IT COMES A MULTI FAMILY IS
THEIR OWN FULL CONSUMERS AREN'T
SEPTIC?
CONCEPT TECH IS THE LARGEST CITY
WEST MISSISSIPPI ON SEPTIC.
SO THAT'S THE OTHER FOCUS THAT
THE SOMEONE NUMBER IS WELL THE
SENATOR HAS IS HOW TO BE ABLE TO
BUILD -- WITHIN THE DOWNTOWN
CORE -- HIGHER INTENSE --
THEY'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT.
PRIOR TO THE FIRE BECAUSE
EVERYONE IS ON THE DAM SECT
SEPTIC SYSTEM.
SO THE STATE.
WORKING WITH LOCALS DRIVEN BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER DRIVEN BY THE
SENATOR -- ALL FOCUS ON TRYING
TO GET THAT SEWER WITHIN THE
DOWNTOWN CORE SO WE'RE BUILDING
SMART HIGHER IN CENTER.
IN TRYING TO BE A TO CREATE THAT
AFFORDABLE STOCK.
AND THIS BILL CANDIDLY WILL BE
ABLE TO HELP.
THAT MULTI FAMILY HOUSING GET
BUILT FASTER.
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE
CONCERNS WITH IT -- THE IS A
MEMBER THE SENATOR BEEN.-RESPONSIVE TO CHALLENGES SO FOR
EXAMPLE CHICO THE ONLY PART OF
THE BILL SHE GOES NO LONGER IN
THE BILL -- IT'S ONLY FOCUS ON A
FOR EXAMPLE OR BILL -- Là
THOUGH GIVE THE CITY MORE THAN
WILLOWS BIGGS GREATLY AND OF
COURSE -- PARADISE SO WHAT I'D
LIKE TO REDUCE TURNOVER THIS A
MEMBER TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SOME
CLOSING COMMENTS.
AGAIN I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS
SIR -- AND ALSO THE PASSION --
AND THAT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED
AND YOU JUST WANNA IN THE HERE.
CENTER NIELSEN THANK YOU FOR
YOUR WORK YOU'VE BEEN TIRELESS
YOU'VE BEEN DOG -- IN CANNOT SAY
THINKING OFTEN SO GRATEFUL TO
WORK WITH YOU AND I'LL TURN OVER
TO US IN OUR GALLAGHER TO BE
ABLE TO CLOSE.
IT THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
AND ALL POINTS -- VERY WELL
STATED -- TO TO MISTER HERMAN
SPECIFIC POINT ABOUT.
DATA.
WE DO KNOW FOR A FACT FROM
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE THERE ARE
TWENTY THOUSAND MORE PEOPLE
LIVING IN CHICO TODAY.
THAN THERE WERE PREVIOUS TO THE
CAMPFIRE WE KNOW THERE'S 20%.
MORE PEOPLE IN OR TODAY THAN
THERE WERE PRIOR TO THE CAMPFIRE.
THAT'S NOT BECAUSE THEY BUILT
MORE HOUSING BY THE WAY
OBVIOUSLY IT'S BECAUSE THOSE ARE
PEOPLE WHO ARE REFUGEES.
FROM THIS CAMP FIRE WE KNOW THAT
THERE ARE FEMA CAMP SITES.
IN YUBA CITY.
IN ORLAND [inaudible]
IN GREATLY. FOUR HUNDRED UNITS
ABOUT TO GOING TO GREATLY
THIRTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE THAT ARE
GOING TO BE LIVING IN GRIDLEY.
BUT ONLY FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS
BECAUSE THAT'S ALL FEMALE GIVES
YOU AS WE ALL KNOW WELL WELL NOW.
SO WHERE THESE PEOPLE GOING TO
GO.
AFTER THE FACT IN WHERE THESE
PEOPLE IN CHICO.
GOING TO GO IF SHE GO DOESN'T
WANT TO BUILD ANYMORE.
WELL THEN WE NEED TO HAVE THE
REST OF THE REGION HOPEFULLY
BUILD MORE HOUSING NOW THERE ARE
SOME SHOVEL READY POD PROJECTS
IN CHICO HOPEFULLY THOSE WILL
MOVE FORWARD -- THAT PROVIDE
BOTH.
APARTMENTS.
MULTI FAMILY AND SINGLE FAMILY
HOMES.
THOSE OF ALREADY GONE TO A
SEQUEL PROCESS AND HOPEFULLY
THEY WILL.
MOVE FORWARD AND GET BUILT BUT
WE'RE GOING TO NEED MORE HOUSING
IN IN THE REGION.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
DO HERE THE DEMOGRAPHIC DATA
SHOWS THAT WE NEEDED.
AND I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO LEAVE
IT AND MEAN THAT THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT I THINK MAYBE IS
A MAYBE THERE'S I DON'T KNOW IF
THERE'S A DISAGREEMENT I HOPE
THERE'S NOT A DISAGREEMENT THERE
BECAUSE WE WANT. TO KEEP PEOPLE
IN THE REGION WE HAVE.
THERE VITAL TO OUR WORK FOR
SURVIVAL TO OUR COMMUNITIES WE
HAVE TEACHERS THE SYMBOL OF
PARADISE HIGH SCHOOL.
BELOVED PRINCIPLES JUST THERE

TODAY -- WHICH WILL WANT TO LEAD
A REQUIREMENT THAT SUBSEQUENT
APPROVALS MUST BE PROCESS
MINISTER EARLY.
AND SECONDLY CLARIFIED --
CLARIFYING CHANGING COMMENT FOR
OF THE ANALYSIS.
IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE BILL.
I PROMISE AB FOURTEEN EIGHTY
FIVE ALL US CITIES TO STREAMLINE
MODERATE INCOME HOUSING.
THAT'S THAT MISSING MIDDLE THE
FOLKS THAT DON'T QUALIFY FOR
SUBSIDIES HOUSING BUT CAN'T
AFFORD THE CURRENT MARKET RATE.
OF THAT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT WITH
THE WHEN CITIES DO NOT MEET
THEIR RENEWED IT NUMBERS FOR THE
SPECIFIC INCOME LEVEL THE MOTOR
INCOME LEVEL.
IF THAT'S THE BASIC PREMISE OF
THE BILL ADDITIONALLY IT THE
BILL WILL CLOSE LOOPHOLES THAT
HAVE ARISEN SINCE SB THIRTY FIVE
IMPLEMENTATION.
WE'VE RECEIVED A LOT OF SUPPORT
ON THIS BILL WE HAVEN'T HAD A
SINGLE NO VOTE TO DATE -- IN ANY
OF THE COMMITTEES THAT WE'VE
BEEN IN -- AND IT'S SUPPORTED BY
A LOT OF DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS
INCLUDING THE TURNER CENTER AT
UC BERKELEY -- NOT PROFIT
HOUSING ASSOCIATIONS OF A
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA -- THE
BUILDERS -- AND MANY OTHERS AND
WE'VE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS
WITH STAKEHOLDERS ACROSS --
EVERY THING FROM ENVIRONMENTAL
ORGANIZATIONS.
TO LABOR UNIONS TO THE BUSINESS
COMMUNITY AND THE BASIC PREMISE
IS THAT WE HAVE TO BUILD MORE
HOUSING AT ALL INCOME LEVELS NOW
WE HAVE A HOUSING CRISIS IN THE
STATE.
WERE THREE POINT FIVE MILLION
HOMES SHY -- AND I FEEL THIS IN
MY DISTRICT OAKLAND BERKELEY
RICHMOND ARE WITHIN A 43%
INCREASE IN HOMELESSNESS IN THE
LAST TWO YEARS.
AND A LOT OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF
THE HOUSING CRISIS THAT WE'RE
EXPERIENCING -- SO HOPEFULLY
THIS BILL WILL HELP ALLOW FOR
THAT MATTER INCOME HOUSING I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE
I'VE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY
WITH THE BAY AREA COUNCIL AND
MANY OTHERS ON THIS BILL.
AND SEE A MURATSUCHI SNEERS
HERE'S IS HERE TO TESTIFY AND I
WOULD -- ASKED FOR AN AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU.

WE ARE IN A PUBLIC POLICY
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION
REPRESENTING THE NINE COUNTY BAY
AREA.

A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR
EVERYONE WHO THAT'S WHY HOUSING
IS SO IMPORTANT TO OUR
ORGANIZATION.
AND THERE ARE MANY NEGATIVE
CONSEQUENCES TO OUR HOUSING
CRISIS--YOU KNOW AT FOR
EXAMPLE THE UNRAVELING OF
COMMUNITIES WE HAVE SCHOOLS ARE
LOSING THEIR TEACHERS HOSPITAL
LOSING THEIR NURSES AT CITY
STRUGGLING TO HIRE AND MAINTAIN
THEIR FIREFIGHTERS AND POLICE
FIGHTERS AND THAT'S SAD BECAUSE
SAID MISSING.
THAT HENCE THE TERM MISSING
MIDDLE WHO THEY'RE BEING SQUEEZE
OUT AND ON THE LOCAL HEROES CAN
AFFORD TO STAY IN THE PLACE THAT
THEY ARE SERVICING -- THE THE
YOUNG IT'S DISTURBING EVIDENCE
IN MANY WAYS THE UC BERKELEY --
RPM PLACEMENT URBAN DISPLACEMENT
PROJECT DOCUMENTED THAT
DISPLACEMENT IS OCCURRING AND
48% OF BAY AREA.
I NEIGHBORHOODS DIVIDED ALMOST
EVENLY BETWEEN LOW INCOME AND
MODERATE INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS

HAS THE MYSTERY THAT ONE MILLION
HOUSEHOLDS AT OR ABOVE THE
CALIFORNIA MEDIAN INCOME ARE
CROSS BIRD AND WE ARE PROUD TO
SPONSOR AB FOURTEEN EIGHTY FIVE
BECAUSE IT IS A CREATIVE
SOLUTION TO DELIVER MUCH NEEDED.
HOUSING FOR THE MIDDLE INCOME --
AND I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT
THAT POSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACTS OF THIS BILL -- THAT IS
HARD TO ADD THAT IT'S EASY TO
OVERLOOK -- MOST OF CALIFORNIA'S
NEW MODERATELY PRICED HOUSING IS
LOCATED ON THE URBAN FRINGE AND
SPRAWL STYLE DEVELOPMENTS THESE
UNITS -- PRODUCE MORE ENERGY AND
ENCOURAGE MORE DRIVING AND
THEREFORE CARBON DIOXIDE YOUR
AIR -- THERE FOR NOW THANK
CALIFORNIA IT'S MARINO PROGRESS.
PROJECTS UNDER EIGHTY FOURTEEN
EIGHTY FIVE PROVIDE PREVAILING
WAGES TO SKILLED LABORERS
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY INFILL
DEVELOPMENT AND AFFORDABILITY

THE FLOOR IS YOURS SIR MISTER
CHAIR I APPRECIATE -- THE
OPPORTUNITY AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE
I SO THEY WANT TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE STAFF I KNOW WITH THE
HOLIDAY LAST WEEK THE TURN
AROUND. TO GET EVERYTHING DONE
FOR A FOR THIS -- HEARING WAS
INCREDIBLY SHORTS I APPRECIATE
THE CHAIRS ATTENTION TO THIS
BILL AND FOR THE COMMITTEE STAFF
WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND -- TO
PREPARE THE ANALYSIS -- AND TO
WORK THROUGH SOME VERY VERY
THOUGHTFUL AMENDMENTS WHICH I
WAS HAPPY TO ACCEPT I AM VERY
THANKFUL BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT
THESE AMENDMENTS HAVE MADE THIS
BILL -- MUCH STRONGER SO STAFF --
I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT AND
THANK YOU.
BUT AGAIN I'M VERY PROUD TO BE
HERE THIS AFTERNOON TO PRESENT
TO ASSEMBLY BILL.
SEVENTEEN EIGHTY THREE IT'S A
PRIORITY BILL THE LATINO CAUCUS
NOW AND A PRIORITY FOR THE MORE
THAN NINETY THOUSAND FARMWORKERS --
THAT LIVE IN THE DISTRICT THAT I
REPRESENT AND SO THIS BILL.
IS A CRITICAL STEP FORWARD AND
ADDRESS SEEN OUR FARM WORKER
HOUSING SHORTAGE.
NOT ONLY IN THE DESERT I
REPRESENT BUT IN CALIFORNIA.
FARMWORKERS WITH OUR FAMILY
FARMERS WORK TO BRING THE
FRESHEST PRODUCE TO MARKET.
AND CERTAINLY DO THEIR PART IN
CONTRIBUTING TO THE CALIFORNIA
ECONOMY AND HELPING FEET THE
ENTIRE COUNTRY.
AND LIKE MANY OTHER WORKING
FAMILIES AND PROFESSIONALS IN
OUR STATE TO BECAUSE OF OUR
HISTORIC HOUSING CRISIS.
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH AFFORDABLE
AND DECENT PLACES FOR
FARMWORKERS TO LIVE IN THE STATE.
ACCORDING TO LOCAL CASE STUDIES
SEVERAL LOCAL AND STATE WIDE
NEWS REPORTS.
FARMWORKERS CERTAINLY THE
DISTRICT I REPRESENT ARE LIVING
IN SUBSTANDARD AND APPALLING
ABSOLUTELY APPALLING CONDITIONS.
WE ARE FARMWORKERS LIVING IN
GARAGES.
TENTS VANS ABANDONED BUILDINGS.
WE HAVE MULTIPLE FAMILIES LIVING
IN THE SAME ONE BEDROOM
APARTMENT.
AND ACCORDING TO A LOCAL FARMER
HOUSING STUDY AN ACTION PLAN ON
AVERAGE MORE THAN SEVEN PEOPLE
SHARE A ONE BEDROOM UNIT.
AND THAT'S JUST THE AVERAGE.
SEVEN UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NOT
JUST THE WORKERS THAT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT'S OUR
CHILDREN AND IT'S THEIR EXTENDED
FAMILIES.
IN RURAL MONTEREY COUNTY THE
DISTRICT I REPRESENT ONE IN TEN
STUDENTS.
THIS HOMELESS.
AT TWELVE SCHOOLS THAT NUMBER IS
ONE IN.
FIVE AND AS I MENTIONED MANY
TIMES THIS SITUATION -- IT'S A
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS RIGHT HERE
IN OUR OWN STATE WHAT WE LIKE TO
CALL THE GOLDEN STATE.
AS I INTRODUCED THIS LEGISLATION
I INTRODUCED LEGISLATION BECAUSE
I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY WE HAVE A MORAL
OBLIGATION. TO DO SOMETHING AND
TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.
AND THIS BILL IS AN IMPORTANT
FIRST STEP.
OFTEN PROGRAM A PROGRAM THAT IS
DESIGNED TO STREAMLINE THE
PROCESS BY WHICH DECENT.
QUALITY FARM WORKER HOUSING IT'S
BUILT.
IT DOES NOT ADD ADDITIONAL RED
TAPE FOR FARMERS INSTEAD.
IT HELPS MAKE IT EASIER FOR
FARMERS AND NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATIONS TO BUILD DIGNIFIED
FAMILY FRIENDLY HOUSING.
HOUSING FOR THE WORKERS WHO
DESPERATELY NEEDED.
SO THIS IS THIS IS THIS IS BUILT
UPON STEP THEN PARTS OF THE
RIGHT DIRECTION.
AND AS MANY OF YOU KNOW I'M VERY
PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS ISSUE A
PASSION ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE
I GREW UP AND FORMER HOUSING.
IT WAS MY GRANDFATHER WHO WORKED
AT ALMADEN VINEYARDS AND PISCINE
THIS CALIFORNIA.
HE WITH MY GRANDMOTHER MY MOM
WAS A SINGLE PARENT THEY RAISED
MY BROTHER AND I AND REFLECTING
ON THIS EXPERIENCE NOW.
REFLECTING ON WHERE I CAME FROM.
HELLO I BEEN TOLD AS A CHILD.
WHO WAS LIVING IN THAT FORMER
HOUSING UNIT?
LIVING IN OVERCROWDED CONDITIONS
WITH TEN MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY.
THAT ONE DAY I'D BE SITTING HERE
SERVING IN THE CALIFORNIA STATE
LEGISLATURE.
WITH ALL OF YOU.
I WOULDN'T HAVE BELIEVED IT.
BECAUSE I WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT
IT POSSIBLE.
MY FAMILY DIDN'T HAVE MUCH.
BUT WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE HAD
A ROOF OVER OUR HEADS.
OUR HOUSING WAS BASIC BUT A
DECENT.
AND OUR HOUSING COMPLEX WAS
LOCATED RIGHT BESIDE THE
VINEYARDS WHERE MY GRANDFATHER
WORKED FOR OVER FORTY YEARS.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY OUR SMALL
FORMER HOUSING UNIT THEY GAVE
OUR FAMILY THE OPPORTUNITY.
THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A BETTER
LIFE.
UNFORTUNATELY FARMWORKERS THEN
AND NOW.
WE'RE NOT AND ARE NOT SO LUCKY.
THIS BILL WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES
OF THOSE WHO WORK THE FEELS LIKE
MY GRANDFATHER DID.
AND IT'S GOING TO SERVE AS A
TOOL.
A TOOL TO HELP GET MORE PEOPLE
THE HOUSING THAT THEY
DESPERATELY NEED.
AND WE MUST ENSURE THAT OUR
CURRENT GENERATION OF
FARMWORKERS THAT THEIR CHILDREN
ALSO HAVE.
THE CHANCE AT A BETTER LIFE AND
A BRIGHTER FUTURE.
AND I APPRECIATE THIS
OPPORTUNITY ONCE AGAIN MISTER
CHAIR I APPRECIATE YOUR
ENGAGEMENT ON THIS BILL
ESPECIALLY ON IN THE LAST FEW
DAYS -- WITH THE QUICK
TURNAROUND TO THE FOURTH OF JULY --
SO I REALLY APPRECIATE THE
COMMITTEE STAFF AYE AYE I TRULY
FEEL THE AMENDMENTS THAT -- THAT
WE HAVE THE BIT THAT BEEN ABLE
TO MAKE HAVE A THIS BILL MUCH
STRONGER AND ADDRESS SOME LOCAL
CONCERNS -- AT THE COUNTY LEVEL --
BUT AT THIS TIME -- I'M GONNA
GIVE TIME FOR SPONSORS AND
SUPPORTERS TO INTRODUCE
THEMSELVES AND SPEAK ABOUT THIS
BILL THANK YOU MISTER THANK YOU
SO MUCH SOME MEMBERS WHO WOULD
LIKE TO GO TO KICK US OFF FIRST
LAST NAME ORGANIZATION OF TWO
MINUTES WE WELCOME YOU TO
COMMITTEES GOOD TO SEE SIR
[inaudible]
AMERICA.
NOW WAS WITH THE FOUNDATION --
JEREMY FOR HER WORK ON STROKES.
CALIFORNIA ALABAMA SO WORKABLE
AND INADEQUATE HOUSING
CONDITIONS BUILT ON A FARM
WORKER HOUSING SYSTEM CREATED AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE LAST
CENTURY.
THE HISTORY OF FARM WORKER
HOUSING POLICY AND OUR STATE
BEGINS WITH LABOR CAMPS.
LABOR CAMPS DID NOT HAVE ANY
TENDENCY PROTECTIONS.
LABOR CAMPS DID NOT HAVE TITLE
TWENTY FOUR REGULATIONS.
THEY DO NOT HAVE RENTS STABILITY.
LABOR CAMPS WERE COLD DAMP.
AND IN DECENT PLACES TO LIVE.
AND THEY WERE CONTROLLED BY
EMPLOYERS [inaudible]
TODAY.
FARMWORKERS ARE LIVING IN
GARAGES.
IN BARRACKS STYLE HOUSING IN
TRAILERS WITH NO AIR
CONDITIONING THAT MAKE.
SUMMER LIVING BRUTAL.
AND ASSEMBLY MEMBER ROBERT RIVAS
IS FARMER HOUSING ACT PROPOSES
TO SIMPLE THINGS. ONE IS TO
EMPOWER GOOD ACTORS TO BUILD
FARM WORKER HOUSING AND DO SO
QUICKLY [inaudible]
WHILE ALSO.
PREVENTING STATE MONEY FROM
ADVANCING THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION'S IMMIGRATION
POLICIES.
INCLUDING A PROGRAM.
THAT HINDERS A FARMWORKERS
FREEDOM TO LIVE FREE FROM
CONTROL OF ANOTHER.
IT'S WORTH RESTATING THAT THIS
BILL IS VOLUNTARY.
AND OPTIONAL.
IF.
YOU DON'T AGREE WITH ANY OF THE
CRITERIA SET FORTH IN THIS BILL --
AS IT IS WRITTEN YOU CAN
CONTINUE EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING
RIGHT NOW UNDER EXISTING LAW.
IT'S ALSO WORTH RESTATING THAT
THE H. TWO A. VISA PROGRAM
REQUIRES THE EMPLOYER TO PROVIDE
HOUSING.
AS A CONDITION OF BRINGING
WORKERS HERE FROM ANOTHER
COUNTRY.
THAT'S WHAT IT THAT'S WHAT
EMPLOYERS AGREE.
TO AS PART OF THE VISA PROGRAM
TODAY.
AND THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING
NOW.
AS A RESULT STATE MONEY IS NOT
NEEDED [inaudible]
BECAUSE H. TO A GUEST WORKERS
ARE ALREADY PROVIDED HOUSING.
SO WE THANK YOU AND WE ASK FOR
YOUR CONSIDERATION.
YOUR TESTIMONY ACOSTA FORCE OR
SIR THANK YOU BRIAN AGAINST ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA RURAL.
LEGAL ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION ON
BEHALF OF OUR LOW INCOME --
CLIENTS INCLUDING FARMWORKERS
AND RURAL COMMUNITIES WIENER
HERE IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL
WE'VE HEARD FROM THE AUTHOR
ABOUT THE TREMENDOUS NEED FOR
FARMWORKERS HOUSING.
IN THE STATE.
THE VOTERS RECENTLY HAVE MADE A
NUMBER OF INVESTMENTS IN
ADVANCING THE PRODUCTION OF
QUALITY.
FAMILY HOUSING FOR FARMWORKERS
BOTH THROUGH THE RECENTLY
APPROVED BOND AND DID THROUGH SB
TWOS INVESTMENT OF OF ANNUAL
RESOURCES BUT WE NEED TO GO THE
NEXT STEP AND REDUCE IMPEDIMENTS
SIR.
PRODUCTION OF HOUSING AND THIS
BILL HELPS US TO DO THAT TO
REMOVE SOME OF THE LOCAL
BARRIERS HELPS CREATE.
AS PRESCRIBED INVOLUNTARY
PARTNERSHIPS WITH LANDOWNERS TO
USE AG LAND TO HELP -- PRODUCE
THAT HOUSING -- WE THINK IT'LL
BE AN IMPORTANT A TOOL FOR
ADVANCING THE PRODUCTION OF GOOD
QUALITY LONG TERM AFFORDABLE
HOUSING TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS.
OF FARMWORKERS INTO.
AND IMPROVE THE LIVING
CONDITIONS THAT HAVE BEEN
DESCRIBED WE'RE ALSO VERY
SUPPORTIVE OF THE TENER
PRODUCTIONS AT THE BILL PROVIDES
FOR WORKERS WHO WERE LIVING.
IN FORMER HOUSING FOR THOSE
REASONS -- WE ARE CHEN ABOUT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TEST MEANS
FOR WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE
SUPPORT PERSON LAST SAME

RC RC -- ONE SAY WE DON'T HAVE
AN OFFICIAL POSITION ON THE BILL
WE APPRECIATE EXTENSIVE
DISCUSSIONS WITH THE AUTHOR
STAFF.
WITH COMMITTEE STAFF THEY'VE
BEEN VERY PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSIONS
WE SHARE THE AUTHORS CONCERNED
WITH TRYING TO DRAMATICALLY
INCREASE THE HOUSING STOCK FOR
AGRICULTURE EMPLOYEES -- WE WERE
LOOKING TO PRESERVE OUR ABILITY
TO ENSURE THE HEALTH SAFETY AND
WELFARE OF THESE RESIDENTS WOULD
BE PROTECTED OVER THE LONG TERM
WE THINK THESE AMENDMENTS TO DO
THAT -- SO WE APPRECIATE AGAIN
EFFORTS TO WORK WITH ALL OF YOU
AND LOOK FOR TO REASSESS AND OUR
POSITION AS THE BILL MOVES
TOWARD THANK YOU VERY MUCH THEY
CAN SCAN A BUT I COULD SEE IF
THERE'S ANYONE ELSE IN SUPPORT.
ALL RIGHT WE'RE NOT GONNA
WELCOME THOSE WHO MAY BE OPPOSE
FOR GONNA HAVE TO INDIVIDUALS TO
BE SPEAKING.
GERMAN WE'RE GONNA HAVE BUT I
JUST THINK ROOM FOR OUR
OPPOSITION IN WELCOME YOU BACK
UP HERE IN A MOMENT.
WELCOME.
WHO LIKE A VERY KICK US OFF?
HI WELL I RIDE THE WORKING
COMMITTEE OF TWO MINUTES FIRST
LASSEN ORGANIZATION THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
AND THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS TAYLOR RUSSIAN WITH A
CALIFORNIA FARM BUREAU ALONG
WITH.
SEVERAL OF OUR COUNTY FROM YOURS
WE ARE OPPOSED -- TO SEVENTEEN
EIGHTY THREE OUR EMPLOYEES OUR
FAMILY AND WE SHARE AN INTEREST
JUST AS YOU ALL DO ABOUT MAKING
SURE THAT THEY HAVE SAFE
AFFORDABLE -- AND HEALTHY
HOUSING AND WHAT WE APPRECIATE
THE ATTENTION ON THE BILL WE
RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE THAT THIS
BILL MOVES THE NEEDLE IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION -- AND WE
BELIEVE IT'LL ACTUALLY HAVE THE
ANTITHETICAL EFFECT OF LIMITING
WHAT SHOULD BE VERY -- NECESSARY
HOUSING FOR OUR COMMUNITIES.
FIRSTLY WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT
PROHIBITING THE USE OF STATE
FUNDING SPECIFICALLY -- FOR
THOSE PROVIDED IN SB TWO FOUR
HOUSING OF H. TWO EMPLOYEES WE
CONDUCTED A SURVEY OF OUR FORTY
THOUSAND MEMBERS AND 40% ARE
EXPERIENCING LABOR SHORTAGES
RIGHT NOW.
WHEN THAT HAPPENS WE HAVE TO
UTILIZE THE H. WAY PROGRAM IT'S
A MEASURE OF LAST RESORT -- AND
UNFORTUNATELY.
ALL OF OUR DATA SHOWS THAT AGE
WE POPULATIONS WILL CONTINUE TO
GROW HERE IN CALIFORNIA SO
RESTRICTING FUNDING TO BUILD NEW
HOUSING DOESN'T TO TURN ROMAN IN
THE PROGRAM.
BUT IT DOES TIGHTEN THE
AVAILABILITY OF THE EXISTING
HOUSING STOCK IN CALIFORNIA.
I ALSO WANT TO TAKE AN
OPPORTUNITY JUST SPELL SOME
MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE AGE TO
A PROGRAM THE FIRST IS THAT IT'S
A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION POLICY.
THE TRICK PROGRAM'S BEEN IN
PLACE FOR ALMOST THIRTY FIVE
YEARS WE KNOW IT'S NOT THE BEST
AND WE ADVOCATE ON A FEDERAL
LEVEL FOR CHANGES FOR THAT
PROGRAM.
AT THE SECOND IS THAT.
THE TREE PROGRAMS UTILIZED ONLY
BY LARGE SCALE FARMS THAT'S NOT
CORRECT TO FORM OF ALL SHAPES
AND SIZES PRODUCTION STYLES AND
REGION'S UTILIZE EMPLOYEES FROM
THE H. TO A PROGRAM -- AND SO IF
THE PERSPECTIVE IS TO WITHHOLD
FUNDS IN THIS BILL FROM THOSE
WHO HAVE A READILY AVAILABLE
ABILITY TO PAY.
THAT'S NOT THE CASE -- AND THEN
FINALLY IT'S NOT AS THOUGH --
ALL FORMS EITHER UTILIZED
COLLEGE TO EMPLOYEES OR NO AGE
TO EMPLOYEES WE HAVE A LOT OF
FARMS THAT UTILIZE A MIX OF AGE
TO WEIGH IN ON EACH -- TO EIGHT
SO UNDER THIS BILL IF I HAD A
HUNDRED EMPLOYEES AND ONE
HAPPENED TO BE IN AGE TO
EMPLOYEE I WOULD BE PRECLUDED
FROM USING ANY STATE FUNDING TO
BUILD FOR THE REMAINING.
NINETY NINE WE DON'T THINK THAT
A SERVICE THE BROADER PURPOSE --
RESTRICTING FUNDING FROM ONE
GROUP ACTUALLY RESTRICTS FUNDING
FROM ALL AND WE DON'T BELIEVE
THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING SHOULD
BE A ZERO SUM GAME.
ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE CONCERNS
ABOUT THE INCENTIVE OFFERED IN
THE BILL THE WE CAN APPRECIATE
IT IS A TOOL THAT THE AUTHOR IS
OFFERING JUST ONE OF MANY --
IT'S REALLY AND ACCESSIBLE.
A FORMER BE RESPONSIBLE UNDER
THIS BILL FOR FUNDING AND
CONSTRUCTING A HOUSING UNIT AND
THEN SEATING ALL OPERATION AND
MANAGEMENT OF IT TO A THIRD
PARTY.
WELL THE RETAIN ALL LIABILITY
AND RESPONSIBILITY AND THAT IS
TOO MUCH OF A RISK FOR OUR
PARTIES TO TAKE -- YOU HAVE TO
BE A RISK TAKER TO BE A FARMER
YOU'RE AT THE MERCY OF NATURE
AND THE MARKET -- BUT WE DON'T
BELIEVE THAT EMPLOYEES HOUSING
SHOULD BE SOMETHING YOU GAMBLE
ON ONCE AGAIN WE APPRECIATE THE
ATTENTION OF THE PROBLEM BUT THE
BUILDING OF THE CARE THAT WE
JUST CAN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WE
BELIEVE PERHAPS MOST ACUTELY ARE
FROM COMMUNITIES HAVE SERIES
HOUSING PROBLEMS AND WE NEED
SERIOUS.
SOLUTIONS THE DEPLORABLE
STANDARDS THAT -- THE AUTHOR AND
SPONSOR DESCRIBED IS IN THE
ABSENCE OF EMPLOYER PROVIDED
HOUSING WHICH IS WHAT WE NEED TO
ADVOCATE FOR IN THIS BILL --
UNFORTUNATELY WITH THESE FUNDING
RESTRICTIONS AND THE INCENTIVE
AS A MISSED OPPORTUNITY WE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THE BILL.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY.
OF GOVERNMENT IN AND THANK YOU
FOR YOUR HEARING -- MICHAEL BILL
OF THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
WINE GRAPE GROWERS -- WE ARE
OPPOSED TO THIS BILL
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE AND THAT
TESTIFIED IN OPPOSITION TO THIS
BILL IN ANY KAMALA THE PROCESS
BECAUSE WE AGREE WITH THE AUTHOR
WHOLE HEARTEDLY THERE IS A
SERIOUS PROBLEM.
AND WE NEED TO ADDRESS IT.
BUT THIS IS NOT THE SOLUTION.
IN ACTUALITY BECAUSE LOOK AT A
COMMON SPEND FARM BUREAU.
WE ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE
COMMENTS WE ACTUALLY THINK THIS
BILL ACTUALLY GOES OUT TO
DIRECTOR OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM.
WE WERE HOPEFUL THAT ALONG THE
WAY BECAUSE THE COMMANDER THE
AUTHOR WHICH WE TOTALLY RESPECT
APPRECIATE THE MEMBERS COULD B
WORKED OUT TO ADDRESS SOME OF
THE CONCERNS.
THAT HAS NOT HAPPENED SO
REGRETFULLY WE ARE HERE TODAY IN
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL.
FUNDAMENTALLY THE BILL IS A
WORKABLE IT'S JUST AN UNWORKABLE
APPROACH OF DOES WORK FOR THREE
REASONS ONE IT ACTUALLY REDUCES
FUNDING FOR HOUSING AT A TIME
WHEN FUNDING IS CRITICALLY
NEEDED. FOR TO US THAT DOESN'T
MAKE ANY SENSE -- TO UNDER THIS
BILL LANDOWNERS WILL BE EXPOSED
TO ADDITIONAL LIABILITY BECAUSE
OF THIRD PARTY MANAGEMENT
REQUIRED UNDER THE BILL.
WHICH IS AS POINTED OUT MAKES IT
A WORKABLE THREE THE BILL
CREATES A STREAMLINED PROCESS.
THAT JUST DOES NOT WORK.
AND WHILE IT IS REFERRED TO AS
ADOPTED IN.
IF IT HAS A 0% CHANCE OF SUCCESS
NO ONE'S GOING TO OPT IN THERE'S
NOTHING TO OPT INTO.
IT REALLY IS DOWN UP DOWN.
BECAUSE OF THE REDUCE WORKFORCE
MORE MORE GROWERS ARE HIRING AGE
TO A WORKERS.
IT AS IF IT'S A FACT OF THE
INDUSTRY AND SITUATION WE HAVE
TODAY -- I'VE TOUR IS TO A
HOUSING I'VE DESERVE THE HOUSING
AND HAVE TO PUT A GET TOGETHER
TOWARDS FOR YOU IF YOU'D LIKE
THAT HOUSING IS NOT SUB STANDARD
IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER.
IT IS.
FINE HOUSING -- IT IS OF
REQUIRED UNDER FEDERAL LAW IT IS
EXPECTED ELLIE BY THE STATE IS
APPROVED BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF
LABOR -- AND TO GO OUT THAT
HOUSING I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT
THE REASON IS ESPECIALLY SINCE
THAT HOUSING IS ALSO USED TO
HOUSE OTHER WORKERS -- WE AGREE
THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE
STREAMLINED PROCESS BUT THE
PROCESS HAS TO WORK A
FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM WITH THIS
PROCESS IS A NO LENDER IS GOING
TO LEND MONEY FOR THIS KIND OF
HOUSING.
IF YOU'RE A LENDER AND GROW
COMES USES A HEY I WANT TO TAKE
VENGEANCE STREAMLINED PROCESS I
NEED A LOAN THE LENDER IS GOING
TO SAY.
HOW MUCH OF A GOOD FOR CLOSE ON
THE PROPERTY WHEN THIS CAN BE A
FIFTY FIVE YEAR CONDITION ON
THAT PROPERTY WITH A THIRD PARTY
MANAGEMENT COMPANY?
ON TOP OF THAT WELL THE SPONSORS
CLAIM THAT THEY WANNA SEPARATION
TO THE LANDLORD OF THE EMPLOYER
THIS BILL DOESN'T ACTUALLY DO
THAT.
BECAUSE THE EMPLOYER STILL ON
THE HOOK FOR EVERYTHING SO WHAT
WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS IF
THERE'S A MANAGEMENT COMPANY
DOING IT THEY SHOULD ASSUME ALL
RESPONSIBILITY ALL LIABILITY SB
TRANSPARENCY.
THERE'S GOT TO BE A PROCESS
WHERE YOU CAN NEGOTIATE BASED ON
ON THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND
A CAP IS SOMETHING WHERE
SUDDENLY.
THE THIRD PARTY COMES IN AND
TAKES OVER THE OPERATIONS AND
ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROPERTY
WHILE THE ROVER IS STILL ON THE
HOOK FOR EVERYTHING ELSE THE
DOESN'T ACCOMPLISH THE INTENDED --
STATED INTENT OF THE BILL THIRTY
SECONDS THANK YOU SO AS I STATED
WE SUPPORT THE INTENT OF THE
BILL WE FULLY AGREE THERE IS A
PROBLEM.
BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE A REAL
SOLUTION AND ABSENT A REAL
SOLUTION.
THIS BILL GOES IN THE OPPOSITE
DIRECTION THANKS FOR YOUR TIME
THANK YOU SO MUCH SIMILAR WE'D
LIKE TO GET A WELCOME ANYONE
ELSE IN OPPOSITION FIRST CLASS

FOR IN TURN OVER CENTER ABOUT.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN STRONG
SUPPORTER OF THIS BILL -- NO
SURPRISE.
THE BILL -- HELPS WITH --
PROVIDING.
OF FARM WORKER HOUSING -- IT'S
ONE OF THE REASONS WHY.
PROPOSITION ONE WAS SO
SUCCESSFUL IN THE LAST OF YEARS
BALLOT WHEN WE PUT THE JOE CERN
A HOUSING -- FUN IN THE
PROPOSITION -- IT -- PULLED
WIDELY SUCCESSFUL AND IT WAS
SHOWN TO BE IS ONE OF THE MAJOR
DRIVERS IN SUPPORT FOR
PROPOSITION -- ONE AND I WAS
QUITE PLEASED TO DO THE JOE
SERRANO BECAUSE I KNEW JOE
SERRANO.
AND I KNOW OF COURSE WE ALL KNOW
PHIL -- WHO IS -- STRONG
SUPPORTER AS WELL SO I THINK --
MR REEVE ASSEMBLYMAN RIVAS IS
NOT A GOOD JOB -- WE'RE WE'RE
WE'RE ON OUR WAY -- TO FINDING
MORE HOUSING THIS IS NOT.
THE ONLY SOURCE OF FUNDS FOR
HOUSING WE'RE ON OUR WAY -- TO
OF COMPLETELY REVAMPED OF OUR
FARM WORKER HOUSING PROGRAM
WE'RE TAKING STEPS WE DID LAST
YEAR WE DID PROP ONE THREE
HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS. THREE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.
WE WORK HARD TO GET IN A LOT OF
PEOPLE SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING
THIS SHOULD BE JUST THE GENERAL
CATEGORIES A NO NO.
WE GOT HAVE FORWARD HOUSING UNIT
UNDERSTAND I WAS A FARM WORKER
FOR TEN YEARS I WORKED IN THE
FIELDS.
HOEING VEGETABLES FOR TEN YEARS
PAYING MY WAY THROUGH HIGH
SCHOOL AND COLLEGE I KNOW WHAT I
KNOW WHAT I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO BE -- LIVING IN A TENT ALONG
THE RIVER IN THE SAN JOAQUIN
RIVER SO I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE.
SO I WAS NOT DONE AS TOLERATE.
THAT KIND OF SQUALID CONDITIONS
IN CALIFORNIA WE SAY THAT'S
UNACCEPTABLE WE GOT A GOOD CLEAN
SAFE FARM WORKER HOUSING.
NOT ONLY IT NOT ONLY AND AND AND
WE WANT IT FOR EVERY EVERY OF
THE STATE SO THIS IS JUST A
FIRST DOWN PAYMENT AS FAR AS I'M
CONCERNED. FOR FARMWORKERS
HOUSING WE OUGHT TO CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH THE FARM GIRL.
THE U. S. W. OTHER ORGANIZATIONS
THAT SUPPORT.
GOOD CLEAN HOUSING. FOR
FARMWORKERS AND JUST SAY THAT WE
JUST DON'T TOLERATE -- PEOPLE IN
CALIFORNIA LIVING IN HOUSING
THAT'S NOT.
NOT NOT OF GOOD QUALITY AND I
THINK ROBERT RIVAS -- FOR
INTRODUCING THIS BILL AND BE
HAPPY PROUD TO BE A CO AUTHOR
FEES ACCEPTING THAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH DRIVING TO
SHOW QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AND
WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR
[inaudible]
THE PLEASE [inaudible]
BETTER CENTER.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I JUST
WANTED TO ASK A COUPLE QUESTIONS
JUST TO SEE KIND OF IF ANYBODY.
HAS THE ANSWER -- PLEASE FEEL
FREE -- TO ANSWER.
OP IN READING THE ANALYSIS -- I
NOTICED THAT THE THE NUMBER OF
JOBS CERTIFIED -- ROSE FROM
200-062-2000 -- SIXTEEN
WONDERING IF THAT THOSE ARE THE
SAME NUMBERS THAT YOU ALL HAVE
IN TERMS OF AGE TO AV SAYS AND
CALIFORNIA.
IS IS THAT A PRETTY ACCURATE
NUMBER TO YOU ALL.
PLEASE TAYLOR OCEAN BUT THE
DEPARTMENT WHERE I'M SORRY
TAYLOR RUSSIAN TO CALIFORNIA.
WE DO I BELIEVE THAT THOSE
NUMBERS ARE ACCURATE BUT AS I
HAD MENTIONED WE DID A FARM
BUREAU -- SURVEY OF OUR FORTY
THOUSAND MEMBERS AND THEY HAVE
NOTED INCREASES AND CONTINUAL
INCREASES IN THEIR LABOR
SHORTAGES WHICH WILL IN.
RESULT IN INCREASES IN EACH TO
EMPLOYEES HERE IN CALIFORNIA SO
WE EXPECT THAT NUMBER TO RISE.
AND WHAT PERCENTAGE OF OF THE
TOTAL EMPLOYEES MAKE IT DOESN'T
TO BE -- EACH TO A WORKERS MAKE
UP IN TERMS OF FARMWORKERS.
WITHIN CALIFORNIA [inaudible]
YEAH.
PLEASE MISTER MILLER IN IF YOU
KNOW ME AND MY NAY RETURNS
YOURSELF I WAS A LESS THAN 10%
[inaudible]
SO.
OKAY LESS THAN 10% OKAY AND THE
DO IT DO YOU ARE YOU AWARE OF
ANY SHORTAGE -- AND IN TERMS OF
YOU KNOW HOW ZINE FOR EXISTING
WORKERS RIGHT NOW I MEAN ARE YOU
HAVING IT CHALLENGING TO BUILD
MORE WHAT.
I MEAN WHAT'S YOUR UNDERSTANDING
OF WHEN YOU'RE MEMBERS ALSO FOR
GROWERS IF YOU'RE A GROWER AND
CINEMA FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU HAVE
AGE TO A HOUSING IF YOU.
IF YOU HAVE A STREET WORKERS YOU
HAVE HOUSING AS TYPICALLY ON
PREMISES RIGHT BY -- IF YOU HAVE
OTHER FARMWORKERS MANY THEM
COMMUTE FROM THE LATER THE
COMMITTED LARGE DISTANCES SO
PART OF THE PROBLEM IS TO FIND
LOCALIZED HOUSING TO MAKE TO
REDUCE THAT COMMUTE. TO DO SAID --
IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
EVERYTHING ELSE.
AND SEVERAL OF OUR FARM
EMPLOYERS PROVIDE HOUSING AS A
CONDITION AS AN INCENTIVE SO IT
DOESN'T REQUIRE AN OBLIGATION
FOR AN ABILITY TO PAY BY THE
EMPLOYER IT'S OFFERED AS AN
INCENTIVE AND NOT SO PART OF THE
APPROACH TRAINING COURAGE PEOPLE
TO LIVE.
CLOSE TO WHERE THEY WORK JUST AS
WE ALL WOULD APPRECIATE THAT AND
TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS DOMESTIC
LABOR FORCES INSTEAD OF HAVING
TO PURSUE THE AGE TO A PROGRAM.
I AM CENTER THAT IS IT THAT'S
ALL I HAD ENOUGH YEAH AND YOU
KNOW IF I COULD ADD SOMETHING I
THINK YOU KNOW IT IT'S REALLY
POINT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT.
NO AGE TO A IS IS FROM THE
HIGHLY REGULATED YOU KNOW OF A
FEDERAL PROGRAM AND PART OF THE
YOU KNOW THOSE REGULAIONS IS A
HIGH STANDARD OF OF OF HOUSING
YOU KNOW THE THE GROWER THE FARM
OPERATION.
HAS TO PROVIDE THE HOUSING YOU
KNOW THERE'S A HIGH STANDARD
ABOUT THAT QUALITY.
AND SO.
YOU KNOW THE ONE FACTOR YOU KNOW
IN MEETING WITH WITH WITH WITH
LOCAL -- AGRICULTURAL -- FOLKS
IN IN MY DISTRICT AND THEY'RE
HERE IN SACRAMENTO CERTAINLY THE
MISSING FACTOR THE STABILIZING
FACTOR TO LABOR'S HOUSING.
AND WHEN YOU KNOW BY THE
DEFINITION THERE IS NOT A LACK --
FOR YOU KNOW A LACK OF HOUSING
FOR EXISTING AGE TO A WORKERS.
BECAUSE WORKFORCE HOUSING IS
OBVIOUSLY REQUIREMENT THE
PROGRAM WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO
IS YOU UTILIZING LOCAL DATA A
FARM WORKER HOUSING -- PLAN AND
WAS A A FORMER HOUSING STATE
ACTION PLAN -- THAT WAS THE IT
WAS A REPORT THAT WAS DONE OVER
A YEAR THAT THAT IDENTIFIED --
THIS THIS FORMER COLLABORATION
IN THIS LOSE VALUE THE PARLE
VALLEY SAN BENITO COUNTY.
IDENTIFIED OVER NINETY THOUSAND
FARMWORKERS THAT BASICALLY SAID
THERE'S BEEN AN EMPHASIS ON
TEMPORARY FORMER HOUSING WHERE
THEY'RE NEEDED THE NEED IS FOR
FARM WORKER FAMILY HOUSE.
AND SO THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL
TAKE THIS LIMITED APPROACH TO
ADDRESS THAT AND TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE'RE DIRECTING ARE LIMITED
STATE RESOURCES. TO ADDRESS THIS
PROBLEM IN WHAT WE WERE YOU KNOW
WE FEEL IT'S GOING T HAVE THE
MOST BENEFIT FOR EXISTING
FAMILIES FARMWORKER FAMILIES
HERE IN CALIFORNIA [inaudible]
