REQUIRED TO GET FLU SHOPS FLU
SHOTS AND NOW WE HAVE. THE
CORVETTE VACCINATION AVAILABLE
WE KNOW THE SUPPLY OF US
CERTAINLY. THE ISSUE AT THE
MOMENT BUT DO YOU EXPECT ARE
YOU SEE. MAYBE REQUIRING COAL
THAT VACCINATIONS. BEFORE THE
STUDENTS CAN RETURN TO CAMPUSES
THIS FALL WITH THE HOPE THAT IT
WILL BE TOTALLY OPEN AND THE
SECOND QUESTION BECAUSE I'LL-
DO BOTH SO THAT YOU HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO. BOTH RESPOND TO
IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TESTING.
ARE HAVING THE UC SYSTEM MOVE
AWAY FROM THE AFTER A C. T. AND
THE S. EIGHTEENTH- AND HOW ONE
WILL MAKE OUR ADMISSION AND
SCHOLARSHIP DECISIONS WITHOUT.
THOSE THOSE INSTRUMENTS YET
STUDENTS MAY BE REQUIRED TO
HAVE. THOSE TERROR FOR
APPLICATIONS TO PRIVATE
UNIVERSITIES HOW WILL YOU.
INTEGRATE TO THEIR OUT WITH
DETAILS BUT I BELIEVE YOU'RE
DEVELOPING AND TO BE IN PLACE
OF. THE SAT AND ACT THOSE ARE
SIGNIFICANT IF I LOOK AT
THROUGH MAY HAVE GRANDCHILDREN
THAT ARE CURRENTLY. IN HIGH
SCHOOL THINKING ABOUT. THE UC
SYSTEM PROBABLY FIRST AND IN
THEIR MINDS AND DIED YET BEING
REQUIRED OF THE SCHOOLS THAT
THEY ARE GOING TO ACTUALLY GET
SOME BRIEFING RIGHT NOW ON OF
THE SAT AND ACT SO. I'LL LEAVE
THOSE TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU-
AND. TO BE LISTENING INTENTLY
THANK YOU- THIS I MAY- IS SOME
OF THE TWO. B. H. FIRST WILL
THANK YOU THOSE KIND WORDS- IN
WAS ALWAYS A- PLEASURE TO- TO
BE APART JUST ON THEIR YEAR-
DISTRICT AND- I KNOW. ALL OF
THE GREAT WORK THAT HAVE DONE-
FOR ALL OF THE SUDDEN COUNTY.
CITIES OF THAT- THE- THE- HE-
ISSUE OF THAT. SELECTION AND-
FOR- AND- CORPORATE. I WAS. OF
DR BIDEN JUNE- COUPLE IT AS TO
WHETHER OR NOT REQUIRE ALL THIS.
DIDN'T BEFORE COMING TO THE
CAMPUS AND- HER STATEMENT WAS
SET AT THE MOMENT. WE DON'T
HAVE ENOUGH OF ACTIONS TO.
PROVIDE YOU- FOR EVERYBODY AND
WE WERE JUST GOING TO BE GOING
ON LAYERS OF- OF- THE
NECESSITIES AS AS YOU KNOW FROM
THE HEALTHCARE WORKERS- DOWN TO
THE SOCIAL IN SOCIAL FOOD. OF
FOOD- WORKERS AND THEN- DOWN TO
THE TO THE PROFESSIONS AND-
PEOPLE LOVE TO GO AND WORK AT
THE LABS ANDDATE THE
HOSPITALIZATION THAN THAT DOWN
TO WHEN IT BECOMES MORE
AVAILABLE- TO REQUIRE THAT'S
FOR EVERYBODY BUT AT THE MOMENT
AND ANSWER THIS A- SEASON KNOW
THE ANSWER IS NO ADDITIONAL
REQUIREMENTS FOR. ACTUALLY
BEING VACCINATED. THE SECOND
QUESTION REGARDING THE S. A. T.
AND C. T. I BOARDED THE-
LIMITING TO ACTUALLY CHOOSE TO
TEACH ADDITIONAL. FOR STUDENTS
THE- KNOW HOW IT IS. FOR
APPROVED THOSE OF US WHO DIDN'T
HAVE THE THIS IS. RIGHT IN
FRONT OF A- TO TAKE THOSE K. TO
ESTO AND THE EXTRA OF THE-
BETTER THIS TIME ARE BOTH TO GO
SHOULD I. SURE WE ARE GOING TO
OF TRUE. CREATE OR OWN TEST.
SHOW THAT THE- OF X. AT THE U.
FOOTBALL THE AFTER AND- FOR THE-
CORRECT- HE'S NOT GOING TO-
LOWER. SHELF THAT WE- I'VE BEEN
TO THE- AND THE PRESS BUSH AND
ARE WORKING- CHIU PUT. A
USUALLY REQUIRE TEN. BUT AS YOU
KNOW IT'S VERY TOUGH TO SOME
DOES COVER IT. AND EQUITABLE
AND ALSO- WE ACCESSIBLE. OF FOR
EVERY SO WE HOPE TO THE IN THE
FUTURE WE CAN COME BACK TO AN-
AND HAVE SPECIFIC ARE. TO WHAT
THE SCHEDULING THE- AND ALSO
THE PUBLISHER OF ASKED THAT
TEST. OF STATUS IS GOING TO BE.
THANK YOU. ANYTHING YOU WANT
ADD- WHAT WHAT THANK YOU SO
BATES LET ME JUST ADD ON THE OF
THAT- YOU KNOW I THINK WHAT
THERE ISN'T AN THE SUPPLY AND
THEIR NOW WE CAN. SAID THE
EVERYBODY- YOU KNOW WE WANT TO
HAVE SAFE CAMPUSES AND IF THAT
REQUIRES PEOPLE TO BE
VACCINATED TO BE IN PERSON I
THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE
GONNA CERTAINLY HAVE TO LOOK
AT. I UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ARE
CERTAIN PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT
TO GET VACCINATED I DO BELIEVE
THERE SHOULD BE EXCEPTIONS TO
IT AS WELL- BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S
NOT EVEN A REAL DISCUSSION
BECAUSE THE- SUPPLY
VACCINATIONS DOESN'T EXIST. ON
THE SAT ACT ISSUE- I TO VOTED
TO- IN TO MAKE THAT GO AWAY I
HAD FELT THAT THE TEST WAS
UNFAIR. I CAN GIVE YOU LOTS OF
REASONS WHY IT'S UNFAIR- AND-
AND WE WERE ASSURED THAT THE
NEW TEST WAS GOING TO BE
DEVELOPED. IN IN ALL CANDOR I'M
SKEPTICAL OF THE NEW TESTS I'M
SKEPTICAL FOR A COUPLE OF
REASONS- I'M SKEPTICAL BECAUSE
I THINK IT'S AN INCREDIBLY
EXPENSIVE. UNDERTAKING TO
CREATE A NEW TASK AND- I DON'T
WANT TO GO SPEND HUNDREDS AND
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS. ON A NEW TEST TO FIND
OUT WHERE IN THE EXACT SAME
SITUATION WE WERE WITH THE SAT
AND ACT- I HAVE SCHEDULED
MEETINGS WITH A NUMBER OF THE-
HEADS OF ADMISSIONS INCLUDING-
OF THE UCLA FOLKS. BECAUSE I
WANT TO SEE HOW. THIS CYCLE OF
ADMISSIONS FOR TWENTY TWENTY
ONE WORK. AND HOW THEY WERE
ABLE TO ADMIT STUDENTS WITHOUT
USING THE TASK. AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY I WANT TO TAKE A
REALLY GOOD LOOK AT. WHAT WHAT
HAPPENED WITH OUR DIVERSITY.
ABLE TO HAVE A DIVERSE STUDENT
POPULATION WITHOUT THE TEST.
AND I THINK THAT DATA WILL BE
FORTHCOMING IN THE NEXT COUPLE
OF MONTHS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
SEEING THAT. THANK YOU FOR
THOSE RESPONSES- LET ME JUST
MAKE A CLOSING LARA CROFT
COMMENT ON THE TESTING BECAUSE-
BACK IN THE DARK AGES WHEN I
WAS APPLYING FOR COLLEGE
BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT I AM THE
SENIOR SENIOR MEMBER HERE- WHAT
THEY USE AT THAT TIME IT WAS
THE COMBINATION OF A GRADE
POINT. AVERAGE AND HOW MANY%
AIZEN BEES YOU ARE ACHIEVED IN
YOUR VERY OUTSIDE COLLEGE PREP
CLASSES. YEAH THAT SEEMS TO BE
A VERY FAIR UP WAY TO DO IT AND
ALSO WAS VERY INCENTIVIZING FOR
THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING TO THE UC
SYSTEM. AS A PLACE THAT THEY
WILL I WANTED TO GO AND IN
THOSE DAYS IT WAS EASIER TO GET
INTO UCLA WHICH WAS THE BIG
SCHOOL- FOR GRADUATION FROM.
THE AREA IN WHICH I LIVE SO ONE
MIGHT TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. THAT
SURELY SHOWS A STUDENTS
COMMITMENT TO HIS STUDY A
COMMITMENT TO THE ISSUE AREAS
HE WANTS TO PURSUE AND HIS
CAREER PATH. HIS OR HERSELF
THAT'S JUST A LITTLE-
HISTORICAL INSIGHT. BUT THANK
YOU AGAIN BOTH OF YOU FOR
INCREDIBLE SERVICE TO THIS
INCREDIBLE UNIVERSITY SYSTEMS
THAT. STANDS ABOVE MOST YET YOU
KNOW OUR NATION. AND OUR BEST
WISHES TO YOU AS YOU CONTINUE
YOUR SERVICE THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. SENATOR CENTER LAWYER.
THANK YOU VERY. FROM IT ONLY
JUST MAKE BRISCOE NOT TO. AND
ALL THE START THEM. WITH THE
DIFFERENT REGION EACH TIME.
JUST THE ARE I HAD A LONG
MEETING WITH EACH ONE THEM AND
IT WAS VERY. HELPFUL AND ABLE
TO GO OVER. THERE AS SOMEBODY
THAT WAS ONCE MAYOR OF A CITY
THAT HOUSE DO YOU SEE THERE ARE
MYRIAD OF ISSUES. THAT COME UP.
AND ALSO. MANY THINGS THAT ARE
CONCERNED WHETHER IT'S
DIVERSITY WORDS HAVING ENOUGH
SPACES. WHETHER IT'S LABOR
RELATIONS OF OUR HEADS AND WE
HAD A CHANCE TO GO THROUGH THE
MALL. SO LET ME JUST ASK TO FOR
THE RECORD AND. AND REGION OF
MOSCOW READ SHE AND OUR I WILL
BEGIN WITH YOU F. NF WAS UP IN
OUR CONVERSATION YESTERDAY YOUR
BACKGROUND IN DEVELOPMENT
REALLY HELPED. IN YOU LOOKING
AT ALL THE DIFFERENT
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS THAT THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA HAS
BEEN TRYING TO IMPOSE SOME
SENSE OF A BUSINESS MODEL ON
IT- COULD YOU SPEAK TO THAT
PLEASE R. Y. ARE YOUR SERVICE
IS HELPFUL IN THAT REGARD.
THANK YOU SENATOR FOR THE
QUESTION WELL- OFTEN TIMES- WE
ARE PROUD- PRIVATE SECTOR- WHEN
WE PLAN TO DO A PROJECT WE WILL
BE A CLOSE ALONE YOU KEEP ALL
OF THE INFORMATION CLOSE TO OUR
CHEST. AND REVEAL AS LITTLE
INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE TO THE
CONTRACTORS TO ENSURE SUPPLIERS
AND- AND THEN- AND- WE'VE
DESIGNED SOMETHING THEN GO FOR-
PRICING AND GETTING THE- THE
BEST POSSIBLE- NUMBER- THAT WE
CAN GET DOWN TO THE PROJECT.
UNIVERSITAIRE CUT CALIFORNIA
OPERACIJA THE REAR PART OF IT
IS THE CLOSEST IN THE LAW FOR
OF IT IS BECAUSE OF THE- THE
HISTORY ACT ON AND PAN. AND
PART OF IT IS BECAUSE THE EXTRA
OF SOME OF THE COUNTRY-
SPECIALLY- THE SPECIALTY
SPECIALTY FIELD. UP BECAUSE OF
THE MEGA. THEY UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA WILL HAVE TO COME TO
THE REGION'S RELEASED THEIR
PROJECTS- DISCUSSION GET A
BUDGET TOGETHER AND THEN GO OF
THEM VISITED FOR THE FIRST FOR
THE BEST **** OBVIOUSLY
CONTRACTORS AND- MATERIAL
SUPPLIERS MUST LEARN OF THE
BUDGET. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
COME INTO THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA'S SHOWN ON OUR YOU
KNOW WHAT THIS IS 20% HIGHER
THAN. WHAT I CAN BUILD A STRONG
GOING TO GIVE YOU 80% THEY'RE
JUST GONNA CME VERY VERY CLOSE
TO THE BUDGET. CHAU IT AND
THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE
REGULATIONS THEY HAVE TO DO
CERTAIN THINGS SO WHAT I HAVE
DONE OR WHAT I. HAVE USED MY
EXPERIENCE IS THAT. WHEN THEY
THE APPROACH TO THE COULD FIVE
LAW AT DATA. THE D. OF COSTA
NAY SHE IN SAID AREAS. THROUGH
HIGH. THEN ON MYERS. I SORT OF
REJECT THE PROJECT CAN AND
FORCE THEM TO GO BACK AND
REVISIT. AN OFTEN IS HAS ENDED
UP- SAVING IN REVERSING THERE
ARE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN AS AN EXAMPLE I
COULD USE. ONE OF THE MOST
RECENT WHICH WAS- UNIVERSAL
CITY- THE SAN DIEGO CAMPUS THAT
THE THEY HAD BID- A PROJECT-
FOR- THE STUDENT HOUSING. AND
AND I LOOKED AT THE WHOLE
THING- AND SHE TO ME THAT THE-
COST US THE PARKING WHICH- WAS.
THREE TIMES TO FOUR TIMES
pHIGHER THAN. WHAT WE WERE
BUILDING IN OTHER AREAS IN-
CALIFORNIA. AND EVEN THOUGH
THEY HAD GONE TO THE AND- FLYER
AND A FORTUNE TO GO BACK AND
WITHIN THREE MONTHS. THEY WENT
FROM LUNCH WE JUST NEEDING TO
THE NEXT MAJOR RESISTANCE THEY
CAME BACK WITH ABOUT EIGHTY
NINE MILLION DOLLARS IN.
SAVINGS THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF
AREAS OF MY EXPERIENCE HAS HAS
HELPED AND- MANY EXAMPLES OF
THOSE THAT I CAN TELL YOU BUT.
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME.
ABOUT A- THAT'S THAT'S FOR
WOULD BE USING MY- PRIVATE PRO
ANA. HOLDS TRUE IF I BRING AND
NASH PER. TOGETHER SO THAT THE
WE THE POWER OF THE IN. WHICH
WE SPOKE CLOSE TO FOUR DOLLARS
PER YEAR. IN ADDITION BECAUSE
SHE- PROJECTS THAT'S A- OF
POWER THAT WE CAN WE CAN. ON
PURCHASE GETTING DISCOUNTS.
THANK YOU VERY. AND IT JUST FOR
MY- FOR. FOUR WHEN I IN THIS.
ONE OF THE IS THAT BUILDING
WOULD BECOME. IT AFTER YOU SEE
CAMPUS. AND BOND MONEY WAS
AVAILABLE AND THEY WOULD JUST
YOU. KNOW IF MONEY TO BUILD THE
BUILDING AND THEN THEY WOULD
NEVER HAVE MONEY FOR THE
MEDICATIONS AND THEY WOULD FALL
ON EVERYBODY ELSE. AND I
FINALLY GOT LANGUAGE. WHICH I
WAS HAPPY LET THEM. FOR A- IN
THE BUDGET THAT STILL WOULD.
THAT YOU SEE CAN'T MONEY FOR
NEW BUILDING TELL TO MITIGATE.
THE WHAT'S COME FROM THE LAST
BUILDING AS A WAY TO FORCE THEM
TO PUT IT IN THEIR BUDGET TO DO
IT TODAY. AND THEN OF COURSE WE
STOPPED OF IN BONDS TO MINUTE
OUT. OF THAT GOT THERE. THE
OTHER QUESTION FOR REGION A
REGION SUESS. WE TALKED
YESTERDAY ABOUT OUR- SORT OF
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES BECAUSE-
ONE OF THE BIG PROBLEMS IS UC
STRUGGLES TO HAVE ENOUGH SLOTS
FOR STUDENTS BUT IT'S DOING ON
TO EXISTING CAMPUSES WITH TO
GETTING MORE MORE CHANGED. AND
I KNOW THERE'S ONE OPTION TO
THE- THE REGION'S MIGHT
CONSIDER ABOUT MILES COLLEGE.
AND OTHERS AND I WONDERED IF
YOU WOULD SPEAK TO JUST. YOUR
VIEW OF HOW YOU SEE WILL HANDLE
THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL OUR
GROWTH IN STUDENTS. OBVIOUSLY
WE DID SPEAK ABOUT THAT AND
MILLS COLLEGE IS- SOMETHING
THAT WE ARE LOOKING INTO TO OUR-
THERE'S NOT. THERE IT IS AND-
HAS SOME DEEP FINANCIAL ISSUES
AND THERE MIGHT BE AN
INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY COMING
FORTH. FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA AND PARTICULARLY
BERKELEY TODAY TO TAKE A TO
PICK UP SOME OF THE ASSETS OF
THAT UNIVERSITY AND THOSE
CONVERSATIONS ARE ONGOING I
THINK- LOOK WE ALL WANT TO
EDUCATE THE- THE MAXIMUM NUMBER
OF STUDENTS YOU KNOW PREFERABLY
CALIFORNIANS- AND GROWTH IS
GOING TO BE ONE OF OUR BIGGEST
ISSUES. I THINK WHAT THE
BALANCING ACT IS HOW DO YOU
GROW AND MAINTAIN EXCELLENCE-
WHEN WE SEE THESE- COLLEGE
RANKINGS COME OUT THEIR
IMPORTANT TO US WE WANT TO SEE
THE MOST NUMBER OF OUR CAMPUSES
AND UP IN THE TOP FIFTY
UNIVERSITIES. IN THE COUNTRY
AND SO GROWTH IS IMPORTANT BUT
THE MAINTAINING MAINTAINING
EXCELLENCE IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT
AND I THINK THAT'S THE
BALANCING ACT THAT WE'RE GOING
TO BE- BE JUDGING GOING
FORWARD. MILLS COLLEGE COULD BE
AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY IT
WILL BE INVESTIGATED LIKE NO
OTHER AND IF THE OPPORTUNITY
IS- MAKES SENSE- WE WILL
PURSUE. A POSSIBILITY OF AN
AFFILIATION OR PURCHASE OF
WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE BUT I
THINK IT'S A LITTLE EARLY FOR
THAT AT THE MOMENT. OKAY THANK
YU I APPRECIATE BOTH OF YOU
ARE ANSWERING QUESTIONS. THANK
YOU SENATOR SENATOR BREAUX.
THANK YOU MADAM PRETEND I'M
AGAIN I ECHO MY COLLEAGUES'
COMMENTS ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY
TO SPEAK TO BOTH OF YOU AT
TODAY IT WAS A VERY GOOD
CONVERSATION I THOUGHT I REALLY
APPRECIATED THE FACT THAT BOTH
OF YOUR- BUSINESS OWNERS ARE
BUSINESS LEADERS. IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA AND- HAVE THE- NO
ONE IS A COMMON SENSE OF THE
SENSE TO APPROACH- SOME OF THE
INCREDIBLE CHALLENGES THAT THAT
THIS SYSTEM THE- SYSTEM HAS- AS
YOU MENTIONED EARLIER. FROM A
BUSINESS APPROACH- WHEN
APPROPRIATE. ALL OF THE THINGS
THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IS- YOU
KNOW TO CREATE A STANDARD OF
EXCELLENCE IN OUR SYSTEM ARE
YOU UNIVERSITY SYSTEMS WE HAVE
TO HAVE. GOOD QUALITY-
OUTSTANDING STAFF AND
LEADERSHIP. AND I GUESS ONE OF
THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE IS
THAT YOU KNOW GIVEN THE BUDGET
THAT WE'VE HAD WITH LOST
REVENUE OVER THE HEALTH AND
HOSPITAL WITH THE MONEY THAT
WAS LOST THERE PLUS HOUSING AND
EVENTS. AND A BUDGET DEFICIT I
GUESS YOU'D SAY I'M AND FUNDED
PENSION LIABILITIES TO THE TUNE
OF ABOUT TWENTY. BILLION
DOLLARS- WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS
ON THE BUDGET COMING FORTH TO
HELP FILL THAT GAP AND STILL
RECRUIT TOP TALENT. SO THAT WE
REMAIN S. AT OUR UNIVERSITY
SYSTEM REMAINS A STANDARD OF
EXCELLENCE IN CALIFORNIA WHEN
WE COMPETE WITH OTHER STATES. I
NEED TO OUR SERVER AND- SURE
THE LOS ANGELES THANK YOU FOR
THE TIME YOU SPEND WITH US THIS
MORNING AND THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION. I THINK- AS YOU KNOW
UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN FACED WITH
THE INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF
PRESSURE. AS FAR AS THE
FINANCES ARE CONCERNED AND-
HAVING THE- SHARE THE FINANCE
COMMITTEE RAN COLLUDED-
SITUATION HIT- RIGHTS LAST
FEBRUARY MARCH. WE INVEST IN
THE IN THE- I MEAN EITHER THAT
WE DIDN'T WE DIDN'T DAYS OR
WEEKS WE JUST REALLY JUMPED ON
EVERYTHING I HAVE OF MYSELF I
HAD. WITH OUR CFO AND- TRY TO
STOP EVERY TYPE OF
INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING
INTERNAL SESSIONS AND THEY'RE
NOT TALKED ABOUT THIS STOP
EVERY TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE
FOR US SHE WAS THAT THAT WASN'T
NECESSARY OF COULD BE DELAYED.
THERE STARTED REFINISHING
EVERYONE OFF OR OLD THAT AND-
TO TAKE TOOK TOOK ADVANTAGE OF
THE LOWER RATES WE WANT TO THE
MARKET AND RAISE SOME FUNDS. A
VERY VERY LITTLE ROOM. LOW
WRETCHEDNESS AT ABOUT TO BILL
DOLLARS IN THEN THEY WILL
ANOTHER- HAPPILY A SEARCH WAS
KILLED GAPS AND WITH THE
INITIAL. CARE FUNDS- MEDICAL
CENTER IS ORDER THROUGH. CALLS
TO ABOUT SIX HUNDRED TERM LOAN
DOLLARS AND THEN THE FIRST
CARES ACT NEW SHOES TO HARM
THAT IT WAS THREE AND EIGHTY.
EIGHTY DOLLARS WAS WHICH
HUNDRED OR WAS WAS MORE WORST-
AS AND THEN DO OTHER HUNDRED
THIRTY WAS FOR. AND THEN THE
SECOND TRUMP THAT IN WITH AND
MEET. UM DO- THE TO. OF THAT
WAS ABOUT THE AGE THEY BELIEVE
IT LAST HUNDRED AND EIGHTY NINE
NINE AGAIN HI THIRTY ONE FOR
STATE NAY DOWN THE BALANCE OF
HIS WENT THE CAMPUS IS. SO THE
COMBINATION OF COURSE SAVINGS
COMMITTEE OF REALLY WE- AGAIN
THE AND- GET D. H. WE'VE TRIED.
FILL IN THE GAP SPACE IN EVERY
OF THE HOSPITALS AS YOU KNOW
THE MEDICAL CENTERS PROVIDED
35% AFTER TOTAL REVENUE- OF FOR
THE UNIVERSITY OR CLOSE TO
FOURTEEN BILLION DOLLARS ALL OF
SUDDEN. THEY WERE JUST TOTALLY
STOPPED WE COULDN'T TAKE ANY-
ANY ELECTIVE SURGERIES AND- AND
EVERYTHING WENT TO OVERREACH
SHOW THAT REVENUE STOP ALL OF
YOUR EVERY YEAR. PARKING'S AND
HOW STRANGE OF STUDENT HOUSING
FOOD SERVICES STATE BASED OFF
OF THOSE REVENUES THEY WERE
PROVIDING RUSSIA OF FUNDING
BETWEEN. THE UNIVERSITY
OPERATIONS BASED SO BETWEEN THE
TRUE WE FILL THE GAP AND WE
WERE ABLE TO OPERATE AT AS YOU
RELATION TO- THE BIG GAP IN-
RETIREMENT SAVINGS- THE- IT
THAT'S MOSTLY RELATED TO THE
STOCK MARKET AND AS AS YOU KNOW
LAST YEAR. OF OVER. TWO YEARS
AGO JUST ON THE PHONE THING WAS
ABOUT 60% OR IT WAS SEVEN. I
THINK OUR A BILL DOLLARS. AND
TODAY THAT'S- YOU USE YOUR POS
IT'S ABOUT A HUNDRED AND FIFTY
SIX BILLION DOLLAR. AND THIS
PAST YEAR FOR THE MONTH- THE
END IS GOING 6% SO- EVEN THOUGH
OUR FUND GAVE STILL AT 85% SO
PERCENT. I THINK WITHIN- WITH
STOCK MARKET NONCHALANT. OF THE
UNIVERSE HAS INCREASED EMPLOYER
EMPLOYER- I THINK WE'LL BE TO
FILL THE BACKUP AND WE ARE
HOPING. THAT THE STATE WILL
COME. SOME THE RICH I MEANT THE-
OF- RETIREES TO WHICH I FUND
LIKE YOU DO FOR- FOR. SHOW WITH
THE I THINK IF YOU ANY OTHER
MOVE A- QUESTIONS YOU WHEN I
WAS ME ABOUT EACH OF THE
ACTUALLY THE RETIRED THE- AND-
THE BE HAPPY TO ANSWER. YES NOT
SIR THANK YOU FOR MUCH AND THE
CONVERSE WE HAD THE MORNING AND
RESPOND TO THAT. I DO A- IT I
LOOK FOR TO SOME YOU. BOTH OF
YOU. YES MA'AM. IF YOU DID. TO
A QUESTION. THAT THAT EXTRA
MISTER SERVICE. I YEAH OKAY BUT
I THINK IT WAS OKAY YEAH SIR
I'M THANK YOU- SENATOR MR
MATURE LEADER GO AHEAD. THANK
YOU. AND THANK YOU TO MY
COLLEAGUES WHO- IN SOME OF THE
THAT WERE TO BRING THE
ATTENTION THE PUBLIC THE FIRST
OF THE MILLS COLLEGE THE SECOND
THE CHALLENGES- OF RECRUITING
TALENT IN THE PUBLIC UNIVERSITY
WHEN WE HAVE SOME PRIVATE
UNIVERSITIES THERE STILL ARE
PEOPLE IN PAIN A LOT OF MONEY
IT'S A IT'S A SIGNIFICANT
CHALLENGE AND I ALSO WANTED TO.
GIVE HATS OFF TO- RIGID MARK
RHAETIAN FOR HIS EFFORTS ON THE
REFINANCE I WATCH THAT CLOSELY
AND THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY
QUITE. OF THE- INSIGHTFUL IN
TERMS OF REDUCING COSTS AND
DEBT AND REFINANCING THOSE
OBLIGATIONS. AT SIGNIFICANT
LOWER INTEREST RATES. ARM IN A
AND I KNOW THAT J. IS DEEPLY
INVOLVED IN THE ISSUES OF- THE-
THE LABS AND THE SECURITY
CLEARANCES THAT HE HAS TO
ENGAGE IN THE HARD WORK THE
GATE THEY GIVE YOU GET CREDIT
FOR THAT I JUST WANTED TO SEE
WITH A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS ONE
IT WAS I KNOW THAT THERE ARE
SOME EFFORTS AFOOT AT THE BOARD
OF REGENTS DEALING WITH
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. WE WERE
TWELVE THOUSAND PATENTS THAT
HAVE BEEN CREATED BY- THE
ACADEMICS AT THE UNIVERSITY AND
YOU KNOW IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR
CHICAGO UNIVERSITY MICHIGAN IT
WAS A WASHINGTON STANFORD TO
SOME EXTENT THEY HAVE BEEN SO
MUCH MORE- AGGRESSIVE YOU THE
SCHOOL AFTER THE BUSINESS
SCHOOL AT UCLA GOT SIX OR
MILLION DOLLARS ON A RECENT
TRANSACTION IN TERMS OF REVENUE
STREAM AND EXPLOITING OF THOSE
THOSE ASSETS BECAUSE YOU KNOW
WE ARGUE ALL THE TIME ABOUT.
UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA BEING
THIS GREAT JAM OF CALIFORNIAN
WITH A SIMPLE XR AND I WOULD
SUGGEST THAT ONE OF THE GREAT
IMPACTS IS THE INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY THAT COMES OUT OF THE
UNIVERSITIES JUST WANTED TO GET
BOTH REGION'S THOUGHTS ON THAT
IN TERMS OF THE EFFORTS AFOOT.
AND WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING
GOING FORWARD. NO MR MAJORITY
LEADER THANK YOU FOR THAT
QUESTION YOU LOOK THERE IS AN
ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY COMING OUT OF THE
UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA I DO
THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
TAKE A DEEPER LOOK. AT A HOW WE
COMPENSATE THE CREATORS OF THAT
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY. AS AS
HADI HAS SAID BEFORE YOU KNOW
YOU HAVE IN TRYING TO MAINTAIN
THE EXCELLENCE WE HAVE
EMPLOYEES I USE THE OUR FORMER
HEAD OF THE MEDICAL CENTER. WHO
IS MAKING A MILLION TO A YEAR
WAS WAS RECRUITED BY AN EAST
COAST COMPANY. FOR A SIX
MILLION DOLLAR SALARY AND HE
RAN AWAY FROM THE UNIVERSITY
CALIFORNIAN ABOUT TEN SECONDS.
WE'RE NEVER GONNA PAY SOMEBODY
SIX MILLION DOLLARS TO RUN A
MEDICAL CENTER. WHAT I DON'T
THINK THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO
LOOK AT IS. THAT OUR COACH THE
ADVOCATING. FOR THOSE THAT ARE
CREATING. VERY VERY VALUABLE
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY FOR THE
UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA. POSSIBLY
A MORE FAIR SHARING AGREEMENT
WITH THEM WHICH WOULD IN MY
OPINION WHAT INCENTIVIZE PEOPLE
TO PUT THEIR BEST FOOT FORWARD
TO STAY. CREATIONS TO THE
UNIVERSITY AND THAT'S SOMETHING
I THINK WE'RE GONNA TAKE A
DEEPER LOOK INTO IN THE IN THE
COMING MONTHS HERE. WHICH
MIGRATION YOUR THOUGHTS. UP IN
THE MAJORITY RETURN FOR SCHOOL-
HELLO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
SERVICE AND- THAT YOU'VE DONE
FOR ALL OF THE CALIFORNIANS AND
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA- BUT
THE LET ME LET ME GO BACK TO
DISH THE TOOLS- THOUSAND
PATENTS UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA IS ONE OF THE
HIGHEST- REGISTER. IN AND
ARRESTED FOR ON THE AVERAGE FOR
DAYS THERE'S NO NO UNIVERSE. OF
COMMERCE- CLAUSE SLASH AND THE
PATENTS UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA OF CREATES ARE
UNBELIEVABLY NOT ONLY THEY SAVE
HUMAN LIVES WELL LET'S LET'S
JUST TALK ABOUT THE GREEN
ENERGY LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT-

ELECTRICITY. AND ZERO AND
THAT'S HIS GROUP CREATION WAS
LED LARGE NOW UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA SANTA BARBARA IS
TRYING TO GO BACK AND COLLECT
ON SOME OF THOSE- ROYALTIES THE
HOME DEPOT ALL OF THE LED
LIGHTS AROUND THE ABOVE ME
AROUND THE AGE ALL OF OUR WHO.
TELLS ALL FOR A UNIVERSITIES IN
THAT IS DOORS ON THE PATENT
STATE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
HAS CREATED AND WE SHOULD
DEFINITELY BE DEFINITELY. THE
TAKE- THEN SHE JUST WAS WHEN I
JOINED THE FIRST ON THE GEORGE
OF THE UNIVERSITY TEN OR TWELVE
YEARS AGO. THE FIRST COUPLE OF
YEARS REMEMBER LOOKING. BUT I
HAD THE SAME EXACT. QUESTIONS
THAT YOU HAVE AND THEN WHEN I
WAS SHE WAS A- DEEP. AND BE
CLASS WAS EVEN ON ANYBODY RADAR.
IT WAS ERA EVERY CAMPUS
OTHERWISE THE LITTLE PATH AND
TRANSFER AND WHEN I THE THEN.
PRISON YOU I'VE MADE MOTIONAL
ABOUT IT PRESENT YOUR OFFER DAY-
SHOW OF CORRUPTION SAID WHAT
REGION ARE. ARE YOU CHAIR YOU
YOU GO ON TO SEE WHAT YOU CAN
DO HE SAID OF A- EACH DOUBLE
AND SHE WAS WE COULD DO I REFER
OF. THE. THE ONE OF THE CAN.
THEY HAD. LIMITED AMOUNT OF
MONEY. AND WHAT CALL THE NIGHT
INTO ON THE NATIONAL DO YOU IT
JUST AS TO WHICH- VALUE. THIS
WE DON'T DO IS JUST LIKE A IT
IS WITH WORLD I KNEW IS ON THE
RIGHT. IN FACT IF YOU LOOK THE
HIS- OR HAVE YOUR SAY TO LOOK
SOME THE RECORDS THAT ARE NOT A
JUST SENATE ON THE RECORD. HE
SAID IT'S NOT PLAYING- THE-
THE- CALIFORNIA LOTTERY WHO
PUTTING MONEY TO HOLD ME. THEY
DID NOT HAVE A- SET UP. TO
STUDY EVERY ONE OF THOSE
PATENTS AND JUST LIKE THE BIG
FUNDS IS. THAT THEY COME IN AND
BUY THE BATONS OR OR TAKE THE
PATENTS AND GIVE THE UNIVERSITY
A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY. I
SUGGESTED THAT WE SET UP
SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND AFTER
THE AFTER WAS A BIG TOOK ABOUT
SIX OR SEVEN YEARS- BUT NOW
THEY HAVE DETECTORS FOR-
FISHNETS UNDER DO YOU USE YOUR
PH AND ALSO- THE HIRED SOME.
THE ORDER I SHOULD SAY I HIRED

UP. I DON'T THAT THE FUTURE-
FOLLOW IT BOTH AND I. AND ALL
THE REASONS FOR INTO. I GET
ENTIRE BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT SURE.
I'M TRYING. YEAH I JUST THINK
THAT END OF THE DAY I THINK
THERE'S A LOT MORE MONEY TO BE
MADE AS A RESOURCE FOR THE
UNIVERSITY. AND WELL AS A
INCENTIVE PROGRAM TO SPLIT WITH
THE CITY CALIFORNIA- TO EXPLOIT
THAT I ACTUALLY- SPEAKING OF
UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA SANTA
BARBARA ACTUALLY- WORKED ON A
PROJECT WITH ONE OF THOSE NOBEL
LAUREATES IN PHYSICS OF YEARS
AGO WHEN I LEFT GOVERNMENT.
BASED UPON- THE GENIUS IDEA
THAT WAS THOUGHT OF BY THAT
INDIVIDUAL SO. BUT NO I REALLY
APPRECIATE IT THANKS THANK YOU
BOTH I THINK THE QUESTIONS HAVE
BEEN ASKED TO NUMBER THE
QUESTIONS I WANTED TO ASK THE
HEAD OF MY NOTES HAVE BEEN
ASKED BY MY COLLEAGUES SO. I
REALLY APPRECIATED AND I

TAKING THE TIME- YOU KNOW TO
SERVE PUBLIC SERVICE IS JUST.
AN EXTRAORDINARY HONOR. AND THE
VERY CHALLENGING THE I'M GONNA
MEASURES LIKE SOMETIMES AT
THOSE MEETINGS WE'VE GOT
PROTESTS AND ALIKE. IF YOU'RE

AND TRYING TO DO A TUITIONS AND
ALL THE KINDS OF CHALLENGES.

UNIVERSITIES BY THE WAY
THROUGHOUT HISTORY. HE HELPS

THE UNIVERSITIES IN EUROPE IN

QUESTION BECAUSE I THINK. MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE DONE A PRETTY
GOOD JOB. IF THERE WERE

OPENING COMMENTS BUT WHAT WOULD
YOU LIKE US AS LEGISLATORS-
RIGHT NOW TO. BE MOST AWARE OF
AS IT RELATES TO THE UC. AND
THE SYSTEM BIGGEST THING ON
YOUR MIND. WELL FOR SO THANK

THE ENTIRE YOU SEE I THINK WE
HAVE TO THANK THE LEGISLATURE
FOR. THE TENTATIVE DEAL REACHED
WITH THE GOVERNOR TO RESTORE
THE THREE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS IN CUTS FOR A MILLION
DOLLARS IN CUTS THAT'S GOING TO
BE CRITICAL FOR OPERATION- I
LOOK AT THE END OF THE DAY I
THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
IS. I SAID EARLIER. WE REALLY
WANT TO EDUCATE THE GREATEST
NUMBER. OF STUDENTS POSSIBLE WE
WANT TO MAINTAIN THE AXLE OF
THIS YOU. AND QUITE FRANKLY WE
WANT TO GROW IT- WE WANT TO SEE
ARE YOU SEE HEALTH I KNOW BOTH
HEIDI AND I. WANT TO SEE UCLA

TRUE BUSINESS AND A TRUE. A
TRUE WAY TO SAVE LIVES ACROSS

WHETHER WE SHOULD CUT THE- SAG
OR CATV. OR WHATNOT BUT WE
REALLY HAVE TO LOOK AT THE
UNIVERSITY'S LONG TERM YOU KNOW
FIFTY YEARS A HUNDRED YEARS
DOWN THE ROAD. ONE OF THE SHOWS
THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE
IMPORTANT FOR CALIFORNIA AND
GIVING US TO SUPPORT BECAUSE
IT'S THE ONLY INSTITUTION I
THINK PERHAPS. MAYBE ONE OF THE
BEST IN THE WORLD- THAT COULD
SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS BUT WE
CANNOT SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS
ALONE JUST FOR THE REGION'S IN
JUST FOR THE- REVENUE THAT'S
GENERATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY A
LOT OF THE STATE'S SUPPORT OF A
LOT OF THE- SUPPORT BOTH-
DOLLAR WISE AND ALSO READ THE
LEGAL- IT DOES HE SAID- THOSE
ARE THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE
VERY IMPORTANT AND- AND I KNOW.
EVERYONE ELSE THE YOUR ON TOP
OF IT AND- YOU CAN GIVE US A
SUPPORT- BUT I WOULD LOOK AT
THE UNIVERSITY AS A LONG TERM-
SITUATION JUST LAST MONTH
PUBLIC COMPANIES TO LOOK AT
EACH QUARTERLY AND THEY STATED
THEY FORGET. THAT THEY NEED TO
EXIST TWENTY YEARS FROM LAW WE
SHOULD NOT LOOK AT OURSELVES AS
JUST ONE YEAR OR TWO YEARS AND
WE SHOULD LOOK AT THIS
INSTITUTION AND SAVING. FOR

PRESHEAF THAT. I KNOW IT'S NOT
A BIG ISSUE THE MOST BUT I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
CALIFORNIA'S FUTURE. BOB OTHER
ISSUE I WANT YOU IN OUR
INTERVIEW ELOISE. IN THE PUBLIC
ARENA. DISCUSSION WE HAD
REGARDING DEFENSIBLE SPACE
OBVIOUSLY IT'S AN ISSUE THAT'S
A VERY BIG THING FOR US THAT
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR.
LEGISLATORS IN BOTH HOUSES THAT
REPRESENT COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
PARTICULARLY IN FIRE. CHALLENGE
JERRY AND AS WE ARE ENGAGING ON
PACKAGES AND DISCUSSIONS FOR
LEGISLATION AND BUDGET REQUESTS
ON DEFENSIBLE SPACE. OFTEN THE
ISSUE IS IMPLEMENTATION YOU
KNOW WE CAN TALK ABOUT AN IDEA.
BUT WHO'S ON THE GROUND THAT
ACTUALLY HOW DOES THAT WORK HOW
DO YOU TELL SOMEBODY TO GO TO
CUT THE TREES DOWN THAT HAVE
BEEN THERE FOR A HUNDRED YEARS.
HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH FOLKS
WHERE THERE'S A CHALLENGE TO
THE COMMUNITY ON THE ONE HAND
IN TERMS OF FIRE RISK AND YET
PEOPLE ON THE OTHER HAND.
TRYING TO DEAL WITH THAT AND
YOUR OFFICE IS THE OFFICE AS WE
ENGAGE IN THIS POLICY. IT'S
GOING TO BE THE FACE OF THIS
AND SO I WANTED TO GET SOME OF
YOUR INSIGHTS. ABOUT HOW YOU
INTEND TO DEAL WITH THIS IN THE
VERY HUMAN. WAY THAT MEETS OUR
GOALS ON THE ONE HAND AND YET-
IS RESPECTFUL TO PEOPLE AND
COMMUNITIES ON THE OTHER. THANK
YOU FOR THE QUESTION SENATOR.
AND YOU KNOW WE DO RESPECT THE
PROPERTY OWNERS- PROPERTY AND
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU KNOW IT CAN
BE DIFFICULT FOR THEM WHEN WE
SHOW UP OR SOMEONE SHOWS UP AND
TELLS THEM THAT THEY HAVE TO
REMOVE VEGETATION. BUT WE ALSO
EDUCATE THEM ABOUT THE
CRITICALITY OF IT WHY IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A
HUNDRED FEET OF SPACE THAT OUR
CREWS CAN OPERATE IN THAT WILL
SLOW THE PROGRESSION OF THE
FIRE AND GIVE OUR FIRE CREWS A
CHANCE TO SAVE THEIR HOME. NOW
WE ALSO OFFER THEM
OPPORTUNITIES FOR- YOU KNOW NON
GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT
WORK IN THEIR COMMUNITY THAT
CAN THAT CAN PROVIDE ASSISTANCE
TO THEM- BUT YOU KNOW WE HAVE
WE HAVE QUITE A CHALLENGE. AND
THERE WERE UP TO THE TASK OF
THE GOVERNOR- HAS PROVIDED US
WITH EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY EIGHT
ADDITIONAL FIREFIGHTERS IN LAST
YEAR'S BUDGET. THOSE PEOPLE
WOULD BE OUT DOING THAT DOING
DEFENSIBLE SPACE AND THEY'LL
ALSO BE DOING SOME SOME OF.
YOUR CREWS WORK- SO- YOU KNOW
IT'S THE LAW WE UNDERSTAND THAT
BUT- REALLY IT'S A PERSONAL
THING AND SO WE TAKE THE
EDUCATION APPROACH AND WE'LL
ABOUT 80% COMPLIANCE RATE. ON
OUR FIRST INSPECTIONS WITH ARE
DEFENSIBLE SPACE INSPECTIONS
THANK YOU FOR THAT THANK YOU
GUYS FOLLOW YES. YEAH I GET THE
80% NINETY I THINK IT'S
FANTASTIC I GET IT AND I THINK
THE HEARING FIFTY EIGHT NEW
PERSONNEL IS GREAT. IT JUST
WORRIES ME AS WE ENGAGE YOU
ALL. OF MY OFFICE HAS WORKED
AROUND THE CLOCK DEALING WITH
EDIE CLAIMS SOLVING OVER A
THOUSAND OF THEM. AND LAST WEEK
THERE WAS A STORY IN THE LOCAL
MEDIA THE COMMUNITY THAT I
REPRESENTS WHERE A GENTLEMAN
SAT ON THE PHONE FOR NINE
HOURS. AND THAT WAS THE STORY
RIGHT NOT THE THOUSAND PEOPLE
THAT WE SERVED AND I JUST AS AS
WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY HERE IN
THE CALIFORNIA SENATE. TO HAVE
LEGISLATIVE REVIEW OF THE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH I CAN'T STRESS
ENOUGH HOW IMPORTANT IT IS
BECAUSE IT REFLECTS ON ALL OF
US IN GOVERNMENT WHETHER WE'RE
ELECTED OR APPOINTED OR
CONFIRMED. A TERMS OF PEOPLE
HAVING CONFIDENCE IN GOVERNMENT
SO ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS IS ONE
OF THOSE AREAS WHERE. WE HAVE
SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES I THINK
WE'RE GONNA SIGNIFICANT RISK
COMING THIS FIRE SEASON IN THE
HEAT THAT WE'RE GOING TO
SUFFER. AND THE LIKE WITH
STREAM CLIMATE CONDITIONS AND
THAT PLEASE JUST IN EVERY
RESPECT POSSIBLE TO GO THE
DISTANCE TIMES TEN TO MAKE SURE
PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY ARE
TREATED WITH RESPECT. AND THAT
WE DON'T END UP HAVING THOSE
NINE OUR- MEDIA CAUGHT THE
REPORTS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD
CHALLENGE I KNOW IT'S NOT
PERFECT AND WE LIVE IN A
SOCIETY OF HUMAN BEINGS BUT I
JUST WANTED TO STRESS THAT. AS.
MUCH AS I POSSIBLY COULD ISSUE
IN J. IS VERY CHAO. AND
ANYTHING YOU VERY MUCH SIR.
THANK YOU ARE. CENTER GROVE
THANK YOU MADAM I'M- THANK YOU
NUMBER ONE OF ACCEPTING THIS
HUGE CHALLENGE OF BEING THE
STATE'S FARMERS AND THAT TAKES
COURAGE AND SO THINK YOU FOR
THAT. I HAVE MICHAEL A SIM TO

DO YOU SEE AS YOUR POSITION
THIS STATE FIRE MARSHAL TO
ASSISTING COURAGE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO IMPLEMENT BETTER
EMERGENCY PLANS. THE BETTER
LAND USE DECISIONS- OR LOCAL
ORDINANCES FOR FIRE PROTECTION
SPECIFICALLY IN AREAS WHERE OUR
COMMUNITIES ARE CHALLENGED BY
HIGH FIRE- EXPOSURE. THANK YOU
FOR THAT QUESTION SENATOR- WE
HAVE A LAND USE PLANNING
PROGRAM WITHIN THE OFFICE. YEAH.

THEIR SAFETY ELEMENTS IN THEIR
GENERAL PLAN- THERE'S A HAVE
NINETY NINE CAN. THAT WE BUT-
IN FIFTY SIX COUNTIES. AND WE
HAVE ALREADY COMPLETED SEVENTY
EIGHT OF THOSE REVIEWS AND
WE'RE CONTINUING TO MAKE
CONTACT WITH THE WITH THE OTHER
JURISDICTIONS. AS WE WANT TO BE
A RESOURCE FOR THEM WE DON'T
TELL THEM WHERE TO BUILD OR
WHAT TO DO WE JUST PROVIDE THEM
WITH INFORMATION- AS IT RELATES
TO- FIRE HISTORY AS IT RELATES
TO EGRESS FROM SUBDIVISIONS AND
WATER SUPPLY. AND SO YOU KNOW
WE DO HAVE A PROGRAM THAT
REACHES OUT AND WORKS WITH THE
LOCALS. WE'RE ALSO DEVELOPING A
TRAINING PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE
PILOT TESTED A COUPLE TIMES AND
WE'RE WE'RE FORMALIZING IT NOW-
ON LAND USE PLANNING DECISIONS
FROM A FIRE PERSPECTIVES
WORKING WITH OPR- IT ALSO
WORKING WITH OPR TO. UPDATE
THEIR TECHNICAL- ADVICE ON ON
LAND USE PLANNING SO WE'RE
ENGAGED- AT THE LOCAL LEVEL

OR REPORTS TO THE. BOARD OF
FORESTRY AND FIRE PROTECTION.
THANK YOU SIR MUCH. THANK YOU
CENTER LAYERED. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH AND- IT WAS GREAT TO MEET
WITH YOU AND I SHOULD INDICATE
THAT WE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER
BEFORE AND GO OUT OF THEIR
OFFICES ARE DECISION IN A GOOD
WAY FOR ME UP WE HAD A LIKE THE
TALK AND I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD
ASK ONE QUESTION. OF BERGEN ON
THE RECORD AND THAT IS IN. IN
THE LAST DECADE THE FIRE
MARSHAL WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR
DOING BUILDING STANDARDS
INSPECTIONS. AND THERE WAS THIS
INCREDIBLE BACKLOG AND IT WAS
WORKED. TO BE ELIMINATED AND I
WAS JUST GONNA ASK WHAT'S THE
STATE OF THE BACKLOG AND IF AND
WHEN. AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE
CONFIRMED. WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO
MAKE SURE ANOTHER BACKLOG
DOESN'T ACCUMULATE. THANK YOU
FOR THAT QUESTION SENATOR
LAYERED AND I'M AND YOU KNOW
YOU WERE AGENCY SECRETARY WHEN
WE WERE GOING THROUGH A
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE
IN HELPING US TO THE RIGHT SIZE
THAT FIRE LIFE SAFETY DIVISION.
NOW WE WERE SUFFERING FROM. A
VACANCY RATE OF ABOUT 44% WE'VE
BEEN A READ IS. AND WE WORKED
WITH THE ADMINISTRATION- TO.
WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
TO DO A WORKLOAD ANALYSIS A
DEEP DIVE INTO WHAT IT INTO
WHAT CARTER. STRIPS STATUTORY
ROLE AND RISK. ARE AND THROUGH
THAT PROCESS IT WAS DISCOVERED
THAT YOU KNOW WE WERE
UNDERSTAFFED. AND WE WERE
THANKFUL THAT- IT MINISTRATION
AND CORSET APARTMENT FINANCE
HELPED US TO WRITE A BUDGET
CHANGE PROPOSAL THAT WOULD JUMP.
OUR STAFFING SIGNIFICANTLY WE
ALSO AUGMENTED OR DEPUTY STATE
FIRE MARSHAL'S WITH. ARCHITECTS
AND MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND WE
HAVE NOW IMPLEMENTED ELECTRONIC
PLAN REVIEW WHICH ELIMINATES
THE BACK AND FORTH MAILING OF
THESE LARGE PLANS WHICH
CONTRIBUTES TO THE BACKLOG. AND
YOU'RE ON TO PAINTING OF FOR
YOU OF ALL THE THINGS THAT WE
DIDN'T HAVE BEFORE THAT WE HAVE
NOW THE RESOURCES AND SO- YOU
KNOW OUR OUR TURNAROUND TIME IN
PLAN REVIEW. IS PROBABLY A
MONTH AT THE MOST- I DON'T HAVE
THE CURRENT NUMBERS FOR YOU.
BUT IT IS IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY
BETTER THAN IT WAS. AT THE
COMPLAINTS HAVE CERTAINLY GONE
DOWN RIGHT I'M USED TO. GET
CALLS FREQUENTLY FROM HER MANY
SAVE A HOUSE FROM BY THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND TO TALK
ABOUT. THE DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS AND I'M SURE. THAT
HAS TO BE A REAL MOTIVATION.
INVENTION YES SIR- BUT WE GOT
IT FIXED AND YOU KNOW WE'RE
STILL NOT RESTORE WORK WITH
THAT OF TRYING THERE MISSION
BASED BUDGET REVIEW TO CONTINUE
THAT ANALYSIS TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE'RE CONTINUING TO BE RIGHT
SIZED. AS YOU KNOW THERE'S A
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
INSPECTIONS ARE GOING I MEAN
CONSTRUCTION THAT IS GOING ON
DOWNTOWN NOW WE'RE LOOKING
FORWARD TO OCCUPY IN OUR NEW
RESOURCES BUILDING HERE AND SO
WE HAVE WE HAVE MANY CHALLENGES
BUT OUR STAFF FOR OUR HIGHLY
TRAINED. AND THEY'RE UP TO THE
TASK. GREAT THANK YOU FOR THE
ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION AND
I'LL SEE AT THE- DEDICATION
CEREMONY FOR THE NEW RESOURCES
BUILDING VERY. THEY'VE SAID
THEY'RE GOING TO INVITE ALL
LIVING FORMER SECRETARIES ON.
TO MAKE THAT CUT. YEAH YOU GOT
IT EVERYTHING TO MAKE OR BATES
GO- THANK YOU THANK YOU YOU
MUCH OF FOR YOU SERVICE BUT
YOUR- IS SO IMPRESSIVE THAT
USED THIS ABOUT IN. EIGHTY AND
A- THE WAY YOU LOOKING MASSIVE
AND TWO THAT IS THAT RIGHT.
THAT TIME IT IS A VERY
IMPRESSED RECORD AND I CAN'T
IMAGINE SOMEONE MORE QUALIFIED
TO OUR- FOR THIS VERY VERY CHEN.
TO AS COLLEAGUE MENTIONED- IN
MY CAN- WELL TALK ABOUT THE
DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH ORANGE
OVER YEARS WE WERE REQUIRE TO
HAVE. NOT PLAN AS PART OF OUR
GENERAL. AND THE MY PARTICULAR
REGION- WE DO HAVE. I'VE
REACHED ON KIND OF THE
MATERIALS ETCETERA BUT I'M AM
WONDERING IF YOU'LL BE WAITING
IN. FINCHER IF ANSWERED A
QUESTION IS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN
WITH. ON THE ISSUES THAT. HOW
DID YOU WITH FIRE RISK
ESPECIALLY IN ARE VERY HIGH
FIRE HAZARD ZONES WHICH COVERS
A GOOD DEAL OF THAT THE COASTAL
AREA IN MY DISTRICT THAT RUNS
FROM LAGUNA BEACH IS ALREADY IN
MY DISTRICT THAT AND MEDIALLY
SENT. ALL THE WAY DOWN THE
COAST AND THERE'S A NUMBER OF
OTHER PROTECTED OPEN SPACES
ALONG THEIR- GETTING THE GOLD
OUT TO- TO KIND OF TAKE THE
UNDERBRUSH OUT HIS BAND A MAJOR
PROJECT IN OUR- ASCEND ORANGE
COUNTY AND I'M NOT SURE IF THEY
USE THEM IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY
BUT I KNOW THAT WE MAY BETTER
EFFECTIVE IN THE LAGUNA BEACH
AREA BECAUSE WE HAVE THOSE
HORRIFIC FIRES. BACK IN THE
EARLY TWO THOUSAND SO WITH THE
DENSIFICATION- OF GOING ON IN
TERMS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT
OVERSIGHT IN TRYING TO INCREASE
OUR HOUSING STOCK IT SEEMS TO
ME WE MIGHT BE APPROACHING
SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE THE
FORK IN THE ROAD ON WHO GETS TO
SAY WHAT. ON A DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT THAT MIGHT IN FACT. BE
A DENSIFICATION AN AREA THAT
DOESN'T MEET THE STANDARD OF AN
EVACUATION ROUTE AND I CAN GIVE
YOU A NUMBER OF THOSE IN MY
DISTRICT WILL YOU BE WAITING A
ON ON ANY OF THOSE PLANS WILL
LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND I NEED TO
REACH OUT TO YOU OR HAVE YOU
ALREADY REACHED. OUT WITH THIS-
OUT RICHARD DOING WITH THESE
COUNTY SO WE KIND OF HAVE SOME
GUIDANCE BEFORE WE GET INTO.
LOCAL RESIDENTS- I'M NOT I'M
NOT GONNA CALL AND THEN BE
BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S A
LOTTERY THAT THOSE DEVELOP. NOT
IT TO PROPERLY- WITH DARK. OUT
BUT WE WILL NEED IN OUR OUR YOU
SAY OR THE PHONE FROM IS GOING
TO WAY AND SAY THAT THAT
PROJECT IS GOOD. BUT LOCAL THE
SAID NO AND I STAND WITH THEM
ON THAT ONE WILL THERE BE ANY
SORT OF LOCAL ADJUDICATION ON
SOME OF THESE ARE PROPOSALS
WHICH- NOT SAYING THEY ARE
NECESSARY BUT THERE ARE THINGS
THAT ARE ALREADY IN PLACE IN
MANY OF THE COUNTY GENERAL
PLANS THAT BECAME PART OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENT PLANS. THAT MAKE IT
DIFFICULT TO MEET. SOME OF THE
STANDARDS SO THAT JOBS ARE
GOING TO A LITTLE THE LACK OF
OVER IS BETTER WAY TO SAY
THAT'S GOING TO COME FOR.
NGUYEN PUSHED TO SHOVE. SO I'M
VERY CONCERNED. BOB WE HAVE
SOMEONE. YOU KNOW THIRD PARTY
ROLE THAT WILL US OUT. KIND OF
WORK OUR WAY TO SOME OF THE
KINDS THAT CERTAIN WILL DEVELOP.
WONDER IF THE FIREMARSHAL WILL
HAVE ANYTHING ON ANY ROLE IN
OUT. THANK YOU SENATOR BATES
THE QUESTION- OUR LAND USE
PLANNING PROGRAM AS I MENTIONED
YOU KNOW WE WORK CLOSELY WITH
THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT
PLANNING OFFICIALS BUILDING
OFFICIALS. WE WILL REVIEW
PROPOSED SUBDIVISION- MAPS AND
WE WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION
ABOUT- TYPOGRAPHY FIRE HISTORY-
AND REALLY WE'RE DOING THIS IN
IN IN. CONJUNCTION WITH THE
DEELOPMENT OF THE SAFETY
ELEMENTS FOR THEIR LOCAL HAZARD
MITIGATION PLANS FOR THEIR
GENERAL PLANS IN THE HOUSING
ELEMENT- THAT IS THAT IS OUR
ROLE WE DO THIS ON BEHALF OF
THE BOARD OF FORESTRY AND FIRE
PROTECTION WE SEND THOSE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD OF
FIREBIRD THE BOARD OF FORESTRY
AND FIRE PROTECTION WHO THEN
WILL- SEND RECOMMENDATIONS TO
THE LOCALS BUT THIS IS ON THEIR
SAFETY ELEMENTS IT'S NOT ON A
SUBDIVISION OR PROPOSED
DEVELOPMENT BASIS IT'S A REVIEW
OF THE SAFETY ELEMENTS OF THE
GENERAL PLAN. SOME OF THAT IS
THAT IS THE ROLE OF THE
LEGISLATURE HAS GIVEN TO US AND
WE WHAT WE WORK IN
COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL
GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE
INFORMATION THAT IF THEY CHOOSE
TO BUILD THE SUBDIVISION THEY
WILL HAVE ALL OF THE
INFORMATION THEY NEED ABOUT THE
HAZARDS. THAT EXIST. THERE IS
VERY. AND I WILL KEEP THAT IN
MIND AS WE GO FORWARD NINE. I
SERVED ON THE ORANGE COUNTY
FIRES ALREADY FOR MANY YEARS
AND WINDOWS VERY HIGH FIRE
HAZARD ZONES. OF CAME FORWARD
TO FIVE THERE WAS A LITTLE PUSH
BACK BUT THEN IT BECAME
SOMETHING THAT WAS SOLVED VERY.
THAT WAS REALLY EMBRACED IN OUR
COMMUNITY SO I KNOW THAT
THERE'S A PLAN OUT THERE AND
PEOPLE BEEN FOLLOWING AT THAT
TIME. THE LATEST IN TERMS OF
ARE YOU KNOW SIGNIFICANT NEED
FROM OUR HOUSING STOCK- WE HAVE
A COUPLE OF BY I WOULD SAY THE
REGULATIONS THAT ARE KIND OF
BUTTING HEADS HERE AND INSOME
OF THE AREAS. SO THANK YOU FOR
THAT IS THANK YOU FOR YOUR
SERVICE AND OF. YOUR COMMITMENT
TO THIS AREA FOR SO MANY
DECADES SIZE VERY IMPRESSIVE SO

THAT I WITH TODAY OUR- THAT
HAVE BEEN PLAN FOR LIVE- THE-
THE I STEPPED IN- WHEN WE ABOUT

THERE WAS A INCH KIND OF. AND
TASK LOW A BIG EVEN IMPORTANT
SO- TO SHOW THAT I CAN YOU KNOW.
THAT THAT I SHE WITH YOU. BACK

A BIG TASK I THINK SECONDLY I'D
SAY ESTABLISHING KIND OF THAT
LONG TERM VISION- BY

NEW INFORMATION AND ECONOMIC
SHIPS IN AVAILABLE JOBS AND
WILLING EMPLOYERS AND- YOU KNOW

THAT I STAY UP LATE AND WORRY
ABOUT IT. AND PUT MY MIND TO
THE TASK AND LEVERAGE THE
INSIDE AND TALENT A MOTHER
AGENCY EERS IN OUR DEPARTMENT
AS WELL AND SO I GREATLY
APPRECIATE THAT QUESTION NOW
BUT BUT- IT HAS BEEN A
WHIRLWIND BUT BUT- YOU KNOW I'M
SO MOTIVATED BY THE COST OF
LAND TO BE PARTNERSHIPS AND
COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS
STRONG PARTNERSHIPS AND- OTHER
STATE AGENCIES THAT. THAT WE'VE
BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP STRONGER PARTNERSHIP
WITH- TO REALLY MEET THIS
MOMENT WRITING SO I'M NOT FOUND
AT THE VISION BEHIND MY
POSITION AGAIN IS MORE RELEVANT
THAN EVER AND AS YOU KNOW- I
STRIVE TO. MEET THE CHALLENGES
OF THE MOMENT I'LL CONTINUE TO
LEVERAGE PARTNERSHIPS ARE AND
WORKING ALONGSIDE OTHER STRONG
ENTITIES LIKE THE LEGISLATURE.
TO MOVE CALIFORNIA FOR MORE LET
ME JUST OFFER ONE COMMENT AND
THAT IS THAT- I SAID ON THE
JOINT AUDIT COMMITTEE AND WE
HAD. TO PRETTY ASTOUNDING
AUDITS ABOUT E. D. D. AND THE
ORDER MADE A RECOMMENDATION I'M
DOING A BILL WITH MAJOR
BIPARTISAN- ARE. CO AUTHORS.
THE ORDER RECOMMEND THAT HE DID
DO. A RECESSION. PLAN SO THE
WHEN THE NEXT RECESSION HIT
SENATE WILL. DAD EDT IS READY
AND I WOULD ASK OF YOU MAY BE
THAT HE WOULD TAKE PROVIDING
THAT BILL PASSES IS SIGNED INTO
LAW I DO HAVE TO IMPLEMENT.
THAT YOU TAKE THE LESSONS THAT
ARE LEARNED HERE. AND INTEGRATE
THEM WITH THAT PLANNING PROCESS
SO THAT THE EQUITY QUESTIONS
YOU'RE ACTUALLY PLANNING TO
ADDRESS. AHEAD OF TIME AS WELL
AS YOUR PLANNING JUST HOW IT
WILL BE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO ANSWER
THE PHONE TO DO EVERYTHING
ELSE. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN THIS
TIME IN THE- OF. IT BECAUSE I
THINK IT'LL GIVE YOU AN
OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE LESSONS
YOU LEARN FROM THIS AND- AND
HAVE THEM READY FOR THE NEXT
TIME THANK YOU I APPRECIATE
YOUR- YOUR INTO. THANK YOU SIR
APPRECIATE. THANK YOU SENATOR
BATES. I THANK YOU AND OUR
FIRST OF ALL FIRST AND FOREMOST
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR
NOMINATION FOR THIS VERY
IMPORTANT A POSITION WITH FAN
NO- OUR LABOR LABOR
DEPARTMENTS- I'M GOING TO GO
BACK TO THE PAGA ISSUE- WITH
JUST A COMMENT- BECAUSE FINDING
COURAGE- IN YOUR RESPONSE TO MY
COLLEAGUE THAT HE WOULD TAKE
SOME OF THESE CONCERNS BACK FOR
DISCUSSION ON BEING THAT IF NOT
IN THERE. ARE SPECIFIC
JURISDICTION BUT WE KNOW THE-
PAGO LAWSUITS DO TARGET THE
SMALL MINORITY AND MANY TIMES
WOMEN OWNED BUSINESSES THEY'RE
USED TO SHAKE DOWN THESE
BUSINESSES AND I THINK OUR
LOOKING AT REFORMS ARE
SPECIALLY OF FINANCIAL AS WERE
COMING OUT OF THE COLD AND
HOPEFULLY FOR BUSINESSES AND I
WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU A
COMMENT I GOT FROM. THIS
INDIVIDUAL NOT REALLY A
CONSTITUENT BUT IT HEARD ME
SPEAK ABOUT TRYING TO GET FROM
PARGA ATTENTION TO PAGA AND
REFORMS THAT MIGHT BE NEEDED
BECAUSE HE SPECIFICALLY
MENTIONS THAT IT WAS A VERY.
WELL INTENDED LAW WHEN IT WAS
INITIATED BUT IT IS GONE YOU
KNOW IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION
IN TERMS OF THE HORRIBLE IMPACT
IS MAJOR SON AND HE'S I'M JUST
GOING TO REVIEW ONE SENTENCE
BECAUSE IT IS WHAT CAUGHT MY
EYE AND THOUGHT WAS IMPORTANT
TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION. HE
SAYS IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT
CLERICAL ERROR SIGN CHECK STUBS
AND TIME SHEETS COULD COST
MULTIPLES MORE THAN THE FINES
AND PENALTIES ASKED BY CAL OSHA
FOR A WORKPLACE DEATH IN
APPARENTLY HAS EXPERIENCED
BOTH. SO WHEN WE SEE THAT KIND
OF INEQUITY AND I KNOW YOU ARE
VERY VERY HARD ON EQUITY YES
CERTAINLY I THINK CRIES OUT FOR
A REVIEW AND A POTENTIAL REFORM
NOT TO UNDERMINE THE GOOD SIDE
OF DEATH TO PROTECT OUR WORK
FORCE. BUT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
TO PROTECT. OUR BUSINESS SAYS
WHO WE'RE TRYING TO COME. AND
WHO. MAKE MISTAKE ARE MADE IN
THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE IT
LOOKS LIKE HE HIGH A CONSULTANT
TO LABOR CONSULTANT TO TAKE A
LOOK AT HIS PAYROLL AND HOW HE
WAS DISPENSING. OUR HEROES ARE.
THE PAGE JACKSON AND THERE WERE
A FEW ERRORS I HAVE BEEN NOT
HIM NOT LESS THAN THREE OR FOUR
MEETINGS WITH MY BUSINESS
OWNERS IN MY DISTRICT. HAVE
EXPERIENCED SIMILAR THINGS OVER
THE TIME I'VE SERVED WHICH IS
NOW. ABOUT MY APPROACHING SIX
AND HALF YEARS SO PLEASE TAKE
THAT UNDER ADVISEMENT I DO
APPRECIATE YOUR COMMITMENT TO
EQUITY TO DIGGING DEEP INTO THE
ISSUES THAT ARE AFFECTING OUR
CERTAINLY OUR BUSINESS.
COMMUNITY OUR REGIONALLY AND
STATEWIDE BECAUSE OF IF THERE'S
SOMETHING THAT REALLY REALLY
NEEDS OF PEOPLE TO COME TO THE
TABLE AND FIGURE OUT HOW
MODIFICATIONS. WILL PROTECT THE
ACT BUT ALSO PROTECT THOSE WHO
ARE SUBJECT TO IT. SO WITHOUT
ON AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR
SERVICE AND- IF YOU COULD GET
BACK TO ME. R. ON MAY BE TAKING
A LOOK AT THIS THING THAT'S
VERY SIMPLE WORK TALKING
CLERICAL ERRORS THAT WERE
UNINTENTIONAL I THINK THERE'S A
LOT OF. REVIEW THAT CAN GO ON
TO ENSURE THAT IT WASN'T GAMING
THE SYSTEM THAT IT WAS
UNINTENTIONAL I THINK THIS
WOULD BE A WONDERFUL MESSAGE.
THAT ARE STRUGGLING AND ARE
FEARFUL OFTEN FEARFUL. OF THIS
COMING THEIR WAY WHEN THEY'RE
JUST RECOVERING OR THEY'VE JUST
STARTED BUSINESS. AND FRANKLY
ARE SOME OF THE INFORMATION
THAT THEY NEED TO KNOW THEY
HAVE TO HIRE CONSULTANTS TO
HELP THEM NAVIGATE SOME OF THE
US AND THAT SEEMS TO BE ALMOST
A DONOR TO. OUR MINORITY WOMEN
OWNERSHIP STARTED BUSINESSES
THAT WE ARE ENCOURAGING THROUGH
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. SO WITH
THAT- THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR
SERVICE I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH
THAT AND HOPE THAT YOU'LL GET
BACK TO ME AND- I SHARE SOME OF
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS BECAUSE I
THINK IT'S REALLY SOMETHING
THAT FELT LONG OVERDUE. THANK
