WOULD LIKE THE COMMITTEE TO
ADOPT THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL
MEMBERS THAT RESULTED FROM MY
DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CHAIR AND
TAG. LIMIT THE USE OF- STE.
KEEP GOING OKAY. CM SLASH G. C.
N. DESIGN BUILD TO SEVEN
PROJECTS EACH IT ENSURE THAT
STATE OVERSIGHT FOR
CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION ON A
100% OF ALL THESE- SEE- G. THE
IN DESIGN BUILD PROJECTS
ADDITIONALLY CENTER STERN AND I
HAVE TALKED AND COMMIT TO WORK
WITH THE COMMITTEE STAFF AD
INTERESTED STAKEHOLDERS TO
DEVELOP TRANSPARENT FORTY
REQUIREMENTS AS THE BILL MOVES
FORWARD. THESE AMENDMENTS WILL
ENSURE CONTROL OVER THE NUMBER
PROJECTS CONTRACTING WORK OUT
UNDER THIS EXPANDED AUTHORITY
PROVIDED THE D. W. R. AND MOST
MORE CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH THE
AUTHORITY BEING GRANTED TO D.
W. R. WITH THE SAME STATE
OVERSIGHT ON INSPECTIONS.
PROVIDED THE CALTRANS. SB SIX

DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES
D. W. R. TO USE DESIGN BUILDING
CONSTRUCTION MANAGER- THE
GENERAL CONTRACTOR PROCUREMENT
METHODS FOR PROJECT DELIVERY
FOR FACILITIES THE STATE WATER
PROJECT. EXCLUDING THE DELTA

STARTED DOING THIS C. N. G. C.
STUFF- THAT DEFINITION JUST TO
WORK. THIS IS- A CONSTRUCTION
MANAGER GENERAL CONTRACTOR
PROCUREMENT METHOD SO I
APOLOGIZE FOR NOT MAKING THAT
CLEAR AT THE TOP. DESIGN BUILD
IS A CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
UNDER PROCESS UNDER A ONE
COUNTRY. UNDER PAGE ONE
CONTRACT IS ENTERED INTO FOR
BOTH THE DESIGN OF THE PROJECT
AS WELL AS THE CONSTRUCTION THE
DEPARTMENT CURRENTLY HAS THE
AUTHORITY FOR PROJECTS ONLY AT
THE SALTON SEA. C. M. G. C.
INVOLVES THE SELECTION OF OCCUR
CONSTRUCTION MANAGER WHO
ADVISES THE DEPARTMENT DURING
THE DESIGN PHASE TO MAXIMIZE
EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTED BILITY.
OF THE PROJECT IN QUESTION ONCE
DESIGNED THE C. N. G. C.
PROCESS PROVIDES THE
CONSTRUCTION MANAGER A RIGHT OF
FIRST REFUSAL FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT. TOGETHER
THESE PROCESSES WILL PROVIDE D.
W. R. WITH GREATER FLEXIBILITY
IN EXPERTISE WITH CONSTRUCTING
CRITICAL WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
AND ACCELERATE PROJECT
COMPLETION. AUTHORIZATION FOR
DESIGN BUILD AND CMG C. WILL
HELP T. W. R. MEET THESE
DEMANDS BY PROVIDING MORE
FLEXIBLE AND EFFICIENT
CONTRACTING OPTIONS THAT WILL
ALLOW D. W. R. TO FOCUS ON ITS
CORE COMPETENCIES THEY LIST
OTHER EXPERTISE AS NEEDED FOR
THINGS LIKE OFFICER EQUIPMENT
BUILDINGS. RECREATION OR

BEEN RAISED AS TO WHETHER THIS

WORKERS BUT REALLY THAT'S NOT
THE CASE D. W. R. IS CURRENTLY
PURSUING ONE HUNDRED FIFTY
EMPLOYEES ACROSS ENGINEERING
CONSTRUCTION TRADES AND CRAFTS
THESE EMPLOYEES WILL BE PHASED
IN OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.
FOCUSED ON AGING INFRASTRUCTURE

SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND
ACRES OF IRRIGATED LAND. THE
STATE WATER PROJECT IS A
COLLECTION OF SEVEN HUNDRED
MILES OF CANALS PIPELINES.
RESERVOIRS AND HYDROELECTRIC
POWER FACILITIES THAT DELIVER
WATER TO CUSTOMERS. THIS
COMPLEX WATER GRID IS ACTUALLY
THE LARGEST STATE OWNED AND
OPERATED WATERED WATER DELIVERY
SYSTEM IN THE WORLD. AND DR
CALIFORNIA'S QUALITY OF LIFE
AND ECONOMIC VITALITY. ADAPTING
AND UPDATING THE SIX YEAR OLD
SYSTEM IS ESSENTIAL TO BUILDING

TAUGHT A WELCOME TO THE
COMMITTEE. THIRD MORNING-
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF
THIS COMMITTEE. I'M HERE
BECAUSE WE ARE ON THE VERGE OF
A GLOBAL FOOD CRISIS THAT
REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ACTION. AND
MY BILL SB FIVE FIVE NINE THE
STATE WATER RESILIENCY ACT WILL
HELP PREVENT A GLOBAL
CATASTROPHE. LAST SESSION I
INTRODUCED A BILL THE SAME
NUMBER THAT REQUESTED FUNDING
TO RESTRICT THE CARRYING
CAPACITY OF THE FRAME KERN
CANAL. THAT BILL WAS ULTIMATELY
VETOED BY THE GOVERNOR BUT
STARTED A LARGER CONVERSATION
ABOUT HOW AND WHERE. WE SHOULD
BE SPENDING MONEY. WHEN WE HAVE
IT TO REPAIR MUCH NEEDED
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT CAN BETTER
PREPARE US FOR WATER NEEDS IN
DROUGHT. AND NON DROUGHT YEARS.
THIS CONVERSATION WAS CHAMPION
ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL BY SENATOR
FEINSTEIN AND CONGRESSMAN COST
AS OFFICES. TO CONTINUE TO LEAD
THIS CONVERSATION TODAY WITH
THE FEDERAL ASK THAT MIRRORS
THE ASK I BRING BEFORE YOU. TO
FUND THE CANAL CONVEYANCE FOR
REPAIRS ON THE CALIFORNIA
AQUEDUCT THE DELTA MENDOTA
CANAL ASSEMBLY WEST CANAL AND
THE FRANKLIN CANAL. THE AGING
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE THAT MAKES
OF THESE CANALS ARE NOW
EXPERIENCE BETWEEN. A 15260%
REDUCTION OF DESIGN FLOW
CAPACITY. AT LEAST FIFTEEN TO
THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR
AND HIGHER OPERATIONAL EMPOWER
COST. THIS HAS SIGNIFICANTLY
THREATEN THE WATER SUPPLY FOR
HUNDREDS OF CALIFORNIANS
INCLUDING THOSE AND SOME OF OUR
MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES. IN
FACT OVER THIRTY ONE MILLION
CALIFORNIANS DEPEND ON THE
WATER THAT FLOWS THROUGH THESE
CANALS TO RUN THEIR HOMES. THE
FARMS AND THE BUSINESSES. OVER
THE COURSE OF TEN YEARS THE
PROJECTS WILL CREATE TWELVE
THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND
TWENTY SIX JOBS DIRECTLY. AT
TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND ONE
HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINE AND
DIRECTLY. IT WILL ALSO PRESERVE
THOUSANDS MORE THAT COULD BE
LOST IF LACK OF WATER LEADS TO
FOLLOWED LANDS. TWO THIRDS OF
THE NATION'S FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES COME FROM CALIFORNIA.
CALIFORNIA FEEDS THE WORLD A
THREAT TO OUR ABILITY TO
PRODUCE FOOD AT THE VOLUME WE
DO IS A THREAT NOT ONLY TO THE
EXISTENCE OF OUR SMALL AND
LARGE FARMS BUT TO THE PEOPLE
THAT THE EMPLOYEE AND OUR
ECONOMIC OUTPUT AS THE STATE.
AND TO THE FOOD SECURITY OF
THOSE THAT HAVE THE LEAST AMONG
US. BUT REALLY EVERYONE. SB
FIVE FIVE NINE PROVIDES IS THE
OPPORTUNITY NOT ONLY TO PLAN
FOR FUTURE BUT PROTECTED AS
WELL. THIS BILL REQUEST SEVEN
HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE MILLION TO
FUND CANAL CONVEYANCE REPAIRS
OVER THE COURSE OF TEN YEARS.
IN THE PAST YEAR THE FRONT
WATER AUTHORITY HAS ASSEMBLED
MORE THAN A HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
FIVE MILLION. FROM LOCAL
AGENCIES AND ALMOST TWO HUNDRED
FIFTY MILLION AND FEDERAL
FUNDING TO CONTRIBUTE TO
REPAIRING THE FRANKEN CANAL. SB
FIVE FIVE NINE CREATE THE
FRAMEWORK FOR THE STATE TO TAKE
ON ITS RIGHTFUL ROLE IN
PARTNERING WITH LOCAL AGENCIES
AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. ON
FIXING THE STATE'S WATER
CONVEYANCE SYSTEMS. SYSTEMS
THAT HELP DELIVER WATER TO
CHIEF KEY STATE POLICIES AND
GOALS FOR CLEAN DRINKING WATER.
GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY AND
HABITATS SUPPORT. IT IS
IMPERATIVE THAT WE INVEST IN
REPAIRING THESE CANALS TODAY
CREATING NEEDED AND GOOD PAYING
JOBS SECURING ACCESS TO
DRINKING WATER FOR VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE
STATE AND TRAIN OUR CAPACITY TO
REMAIN THE FOOD CAPITAL OF THE
WORLD. I ALSO WANT TO THANK. MY
GOOD COLLEAGUE AND FRIEND FOR
BAKERSFIELD THAT'S ON THE DICE
AT THE MOMENT AND MY GOOD
FRIEND COLLEAGUE FROM- NORTH
PER CALIFORNIA BEING CO AUTHORS
OF THIS BILL AND FOR BEING
SUPPORTIVE- REFERRING TO THE
SENATOR FROM STOCKTON STOPPED
MONTHS SORRY. ENOUGH I DON'T
WANT ANYBODY ELSE TO TAKE THE
CREDIT THE FOR SOMETHING SHE
DID. I'M HERE TODAY IN SUPPORT
I HAVE JENNIFER PIERRE GENERAL
MANAGER WITH THE STATE WATER
CONTRACTORS RICHARD OR TAKE A
GENERAL MANAGER WITH THE
GRASSLANDS WATER DISTRICT.
GREAT THEN OF. AND THEY. WE
SOCIALLY DISTANT STRIKE NOW-
SO- LET'S BEGIN WITH RICHARD
ORTEGA FROM THE GRASSLAND WATER
DISTRICT AND THEN WE'LL HEAR
FROM JENNIFER PIERRE FROM THE
STATE WATER CONTRACTORS WELCOME
TO THE COMMITTEE. MY NAME IS
RICARDO ORTEGA GENERAL MANAGER
OF THE GRASS AND WATER DISTRICT
AND GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY
AGENCY I ALSO SERVE AS A BOARD
MEMBER ON THE SAN LUIS DELTA
MENDOTA WATER AUTHORITY.
COMPRISED OF TWENTY SEVEN
AGRICULTURAL MUNICIPAL AND
ENVIRONMENTAL WATER AGENCIES
THAT OPERATE THE DELTA MENDOTA
CANAL I'M PLEASED TO TESTIFY
TODAY IN SUPPORT OF SB FIVE
FIVE NINE. THE FEDERAL DELTA
MENDOTA. IN FRONT KERN CANALS
HAVE LOST SIGNIFICANT FLOW
CAPACITY OVER THE YEARS TO LAND
SUBSIDENCE. WHICH IS IMPACTED
THE ABILITY TO RELIABLY DELIVER
WATER TO MANY SAN SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY COMMUNITIES FARMS AND
THE ENVIRONMENT. THESE CAN
THESE CANALS CONVEY WATER TO
MILLIONS OF ACRES OF FARMLAND
AND THE LAST REMAINING 5% OF
WETLANDS IN THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY. THESE WEAPONS RECHARGE
AQUIFERS AND SUPPORT MILLIONS
OF MIGRATORY BIRDS AND OTHER
WILDLIFE EACH YEAR. THE GAS AND
WATER DISTRICT CONVEYS WATER TO
WILDLIFE REFUGES THAT ARE
RECOGNIZED AS- ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT WETLAND ECOSYSTEMS
REMAINING IN THE AMERICAS.
WETLANDS AND WILDLIFE REQUIRE
ADEQUATE SUPPLY THROUGHOUT THE
YEAR ON A SCHEDULE MOST
BENEFICIAL TO THEM. TO TOP THE
SUBSIDENCE ALONG THESE CANALS
THREATENS THEIR ABILITY TO
HABITAT AND TO KEEP WILDLIFE
POPULATIONS HEALTHY. RESTORING
CANNELLA CAPACITY IS A CRITICAL
FIRST STEP IN BUILDING
RESILIENCY IN A CHANGING
CLIMATE. DROUGHTS ARE NOW MORE
FREQUENT LONGER LASTING AND
MORE SEVERE STORMS ARE WARMER
PRODUCE LESS NO AND MORE
FLOODING. CALIFORNIANS THE
WATER FACILITIES I CAN
RECAPTURE FLOODWATER AND
EFFICIENTLY DELIVERED TO LANDS
THAT CAN RECHARGE THE AQUIFER.
CALIFORNIA'S WATER SYSTEM IS
INTERCONNECTED AND WAS BUILT BY
A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN LOCALS
THE STATE AND FEDERAL
GOVERNMENTS. SB FIVE FIVE NINE
BILLS ON THAT PARTNERSHIP BY
PROVIDING THE STATE MATCH TO A
LOCAL COMMITMENT. TO RESTORE
THE BACKBONE INFRASTRUCTURE THE
CALIFORNIANS AND THE
ENVIRONMENT DEPEND ON. WHILE
ALSO CREATING SUSTAIN AND
SUSTAINING THOUSANDS OF JOBS IN
THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY. THANK
YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK
FOR TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. AND
NOW WE'LL HEAR FROM- JENNIFER
PIERRE FROM THE STATE WATER
CONTRACTORS. THE MORNING AGAIN
AS I THINK YOU KNOW MY NAME IS
JENNIFER PIERRE THE STATE WATER
CONTRACTORS AND THE GENERAL
MANAGER AND WE REPRESENT TWENTY
SEVEN OF THE TWENTY NINE PUBLIC
WATER AGENCIES THAT CONTRACT
WITH THE W. R. FOUR SIX- THE
FEDERAL STATE ON CANALS
IDENTIFIED IN SB FIVE FIVE NINE
ARE CRITICAL TO SUPPORT CLIMATE
CHANGE RESILIENCE BY
FACILITATING THE MOVEMENT OF
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF WATER
WHEN IT'S WET TO STORAGE NEEDS
DURING DROUGHTS THESE CANALS
PROVIDE DRINKING WATER TO OVER
THIRTY MILLION PEOPLE IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THE BAY
AREA AND THE CENTRAL VALLEY.
INCLUDING DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES AS WELL THE
IRRIGATION WATER OVER THREE
MILLION ACRES OF FARMLAND BUT
SUBSIDENCE HAS DRASTICALLY
REDUCED SUPPLY RELIABILITY AND
INCREASED ENERGY CONSUMPTION
FOR EXAMPLE THE STATE WATER
PROJECT IS ALREADY EXPERIENCING
A 33% REDUCTION OF DESIGN FLOW
CAPACITY AN ADDITIONAL FIFTEEN
TO THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR AND HIGHER OPERATIONAL AND
ENERGY COSTS. SUBSIDENCE DUE TO
GROUNDWATER PUMPING HAS BEEN
OCCURRING IN THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY FOR NEARLY A CENTURY.
THE SUSTAINABLE GROUNDWATER
MANAGEMENT AFTER TWENTY
FOURTEEN WILL HELP PROTECT
INFRASTRUCTURE FROM FUTURE
SUBSIDENCE. HOWEVER THE
EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE DAMAGE
IMPACTS TWO THIRDS OF THE
ENTIRE STATE. INCLUDING
MILLIONS OF WATER USERS WHO DID
NOT CAUSE THE DAMAGE.
IDENTIFYING ALL THE PARTIES WHO
ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGING
THIS INFRASTRUCTURE IN SECURING
THEIR FUNDING CONTRIBUTIONS IS
A COMPLEX. AND LENGTHY
UNDERTAKING NEVERTHELESS WHERE
POSSIBLE IT REMAINS AN OPTION
FOR ASSEMBLY LOCAL FUNDING
PACKAGES. OF THE PUBLIC WATER
AGENCIES PAY FOR THE OPERATIONS
AND MAINTENANCE COSTS OF THESE
CANAL SYSTEMS. THEIR BUDGETS
ARE FUNDED BY THE PEOPLE FARMS
AND BUSINESSES THAT USE THE
WATER INCLUDING WATER USERS WHO
ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
DAMAGE. THE REPAIR COSTS ARE
SIMPLY TOO GREAT FOR THEM TO
BEAR ALONE- GATHER A FEDERAL
FUNDING FROM TWO COMPANION
BILLS INTRODUCED BY US SENATOR
DIANNE FEINSTEIN. AND
CONGRESSMAN JIM COSTA AND A
LOCAL CULTURE. WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE

WE'LL MOVE ON MODERATOR TO
ANYONE ELSE THAT- IS IN
OPPOSITION TO THE SP. FIVE FIVE
NINE. SURE NO ONE ELSE TO
SIGNAL BUT THEY WISH TO SPEAK
THANK YOU VERY MUCH HOME TO
BRING THE MATTER BACK TO- THE
COMMITTEE AND- I WAS GOING TO
BEGIN WITH JUST A BRIEF
STATEMENT THAT I WAS GOING TO
ASK. A QUESTION OF THE AUTHOR-
THE BILL SETS FORTH A STATE
CONTRIBUTION AND THEN ALSO
THERE'S A FEDERAL ONE AND THEN
THERE'S LOCAL. DOES THE BILL
MAKE THE STATE'S CONTRIBUTION
CONTINGENT ON THE OTHER TO
COMING THROUGH. I BELIEVE SO
BUT I WILL REFER TO MY EXPERT-
WHAT DOES HERE IN THE ROOM.
JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
CLARIFY THAT QUESTION COULD ONE
OF YOU TO GUESS TO BE THE
EXPERT WITNESS- YES THAT'S MY
UNDERSTANDING THAT SEVEN
HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLAR REQUEST. STATE ALTHOUGH
THE- NO I THINK THERE'S A AND A
CONSULTANT SHAKING HIS HEAD SO
I THINK THE ISSUE IS. IT IN
PRACTICE YOU EXPECTED TO BE
CONTINGENT I WAS JUST ASKED IF
IT WAS ACTUALLY CONTINGENT
WRITTEN IN THE BILL. DO YOU
KNOW IF IT'S WRITTEN IN THE
BUILD THAT THIS. IS I THINK
PEOPLE ARE SHAKING THEIR HEADS.
HI OKAY I DO NOT KNOW. HOME
WELL MESSAGES EVEN THOUGH SOME
HAVE OF ANSWERED THAT WOULD
JUST BE A GOOD THING TO. FOR
THE AUTHOR TO DEFINITIVELY
ANSWER SOMETIME. AFTER THIS
HEARING. AND THEN MY COMMENT
WAS GOING TO BE- FROM THIS WILL
BE A CONFUSING COMMENT BUT
FIRST PART ISN'T CONFUSING AT
ALL ARE YOU DOING A GREAT JOB
OF REPRESENTING YOUR DISTRICT
AND YOUR REGION AND
CONGRATULATIONS FOR THAT THEY
WERE LUCKY TO HAVE YOU AS AN
ADVOCATE. HARM IN UNFORTUNATELY
I KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS AT
THE END SO. OF THE BIG CONCERN
I HAVE A FEW OF THEM. IS THAT
WE HAVE A HISTORIC BENEFICIARY
PAYS A POLICY IN CALIFORNIA-
WATER PROJECT ITSELF WAS 97%
PAID FOR BY THE WATER USERS AND
3% BY THE STATE TAX PAPERS.
EVEN TOUGH THERE WAS A SLIGHT
AMENDMENT TO THAT IN THE- IN
THE WATER BOND IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN WHERE THERE WAS A
DIFFERENCE WHAT FOR LAND. AND
THIS IS A LOGICAL THING FOR THE
USERS TO PAY BECAUSE AS WAS
SAID THIRTY ONE MILLION- BUT
PEOPLE ARE SERVED WATER FROM
THIS AND THREE MILLION. ACRES
OF IRRIGATED AGRICULTURE THAT
COULD BE SPREAD OUT AND AT A
RELATIVELY LOW COST TO ALL OF
THEM OVER TIME AND CONTINUE THE
BENEFICIARY PAYS. AND I THINK
THE MARYLAND ISSUED DIVORCE
DEFEATED IN PART BECAUSE- THERE
WAS A BENEFICIARY PAYS. SORT OF
CHANGE THAT WAS INCLUDED IN
THAT. AND THE- THERE'S ALSO
STATE MONEY GOING FOR FEDERAL
PROJECT WHICH I THINK IS IT IS
OF CONCERN. AND THIS BENEFITS A
SPECIFIC AREA SPECIFIC GROUP OF
PEOPLE BUT NOT EVERYBODY ALL
THE TAXPAYERS WILL DO IT AND
THE STATISTIC WAS CITED. OF THE
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES THAT CAME
FROM CALIFORNIA MORE VERY LARGE
AMOUNT COME FROM MY DISTRICT TO
THE GENERAL REGION WHETHER IT'S
PART OF OUR THE SALINAS VALLEY
BUT THEY DO NOT IMPORT WATER
AND THEY WILL NOT GET A DIME
FROM THIS BILL SO IN MANY WAYS.
IT FAVORS ONE AGRICULTURAL AREA
OVER ANOTHER AND THE REASON WE
HAD A WATER BOND WAS TO MAKE
SURE EVERYBODY GOT A FAIR SHARE
NOT JUST A SELECT A PART OF THE
STATE OR FOR SELECT. WATER
USERS SAID. ARE USED TO HAVE
THIS RIFF WHAT I SAID WHEN I
WAS IN ASSEMBLY MEMBER FROM
MONTEREY AND SANTA CRUZ I SAID
WE'D HAVE TO CUT OUR SCHOOLS
AND CUT OUR HEALTH CARE AND PAY
A 100% FOR OUR WATER AND THEN
USE TAX DOLLARS TO PAY FOR
SOMEBODY ELSE'S WELL. THEN FOR
EIGHT YEARS AS RESOURCES
SECRETARY I SUPPORTED THAT AND
NOW I AM BACK. TO ADVOCATING
FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE DISTRICT
WANTED TO GET. A FAIR SHARE OR
SO UP FROM THAT IS OF CONCERN
AND I KNOW THAT I GOT A PUSH
BACK IN THE- SOME OF THE
LOBBYING VISITS BY THIS WILL
BENEFIT THE STATE'S ECONOMY
BECAUSE OF SILICON VALLEY AND
THE AG SECTOR. BUT IF YOU'RE
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY THAT IS
NOT SERVED BY STATE OR FEDERAL
WATER YOU WERE EVEN MORE
DISADVANTAGE FOR PAYING TAXES
AND NOT GETTING ANYTHING BACK
AND SO. I BASICALLY WANT TO
GIVE THE AUTHOR CHANGED HER TO
WORK ON THIS AND SEE IF MAYBE
THERE'S AN AMENDMENT ABOUT
CONTINGENCY AND SEE IF THERE'S
ANYTHING IN IT FOR OTHER PEOPLE
IN THE STATE I'M GOING TO VOTE
TO MOVE THIS ALONG BUT I HAVE
THOSE CONCERNS AND I REALLY
WANTED TO. WIPE. THEM OUT TO
SEE IF THERE'S ANY WAY. ARE THE
TO TAKE BE. SO I JUST OBLIGATED
TO ME THAT STATEMENT. OTHER COM-
SENATORS ON STORAGE ANDERSON
HAS UP HE HAD IS BUT DID HIM UP
I HAVE TO ACTUAL EMERGENCY SO
MISTER CHAIR I'M GONNA GO TO
THE DIGITAL HAND AND THEN I'M
GOING TO GO TO THE TWO HANDS IN
THE ROOM SO SENATOR START. OKAY
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND I
MEAN I'M WILLING TO DEFER TO
THE DIS OVER DIGITAL IF- IF THE
MEMBERS NEED TO LEAVE SO I'LL
BE HERE FOR THE HEARING DO YOU
WANT TO CHECK. I HAVEN'T SPEAK
EVERYBODY'S OKAY KEEP GOING
OKAY GREAT- I WOULD ECHO
EVERYTHING YOU JUST SAID AND
ESPECIALLY THE NOTE ABOUT.
CENTER TIED TO YOUR RELENTLESS
ADVOCACY FOR THE COMMUNITIES
YOU REPRESENT- AND NOT JUST YOU
KNOW THE BUSINESS SIDE OF
THINGS BUT FOR REAL PEOPLE
EVERYWHERE TO STE SO I. DON'T I
REALLY RESPECT YOU BRING IN
THIS MEASURE BACK- I SHARE SOME
OF THE SAME CONCERNS ABOUT JUST
THE OVERALL FRAMEWORK HERE- IN
VENTURA COUNTY AND YOU KNOW THE
UNINCORPORATED PARTS L. A. N.
THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT IT
WORRYING YOU KNOW THAT DROUGHTS
NOT HITTING AS HARD IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW BUT- THE-
WHAT MY HOPE IS IF YOU GET THE
BILL MOVES FORWARD TO DAVID.
YOU'LL JUST YOU'LL CONSIDER
BEFORE. THE FLOOR- YOU KNOW
LOOKING AT ARRANGEMENTS THAT
THAT. THE PORTIONS SAVE THE
BENEFICIARY QUESTION OR EVEN A
SUBSIDY AND THE SUBSIDENCE
RESPONSIBILITY QUESTION A
LITTLE MORE AND I WAS REALLY
HEARTENED BY THE WAY TO HEAR
FROM IS PIERRE- THE POTENTIAL
FEASIBILITY OF SOME OF THAT
ANALYSIS BEFORE WE- CUT THE
FINAL DEAL AND PUT THE SENATE'S
FINAL DROUGHT PACKAGE TOGETHER
AND I WOULD SAY I'M I'M OPEN
TO. TO SUPPORTING THIS BILL AT
IT AT A FUTURE DATE- IF
ESPECIALLY WE CAN GET LITTLE
MORE THAT DATA BACK AND REALLY
UNDERSTAND- WHAT SUBSIDENCE
CAUSATION YOU KNOW HOW HOW
GRANULAR WE CAN GET IN THAT-
CAUSATION ISSUE- AND ALSO TO RE
LOOK AT THE APPORTIONMENT OF
STATE FUNDING FOR STATE
PROJECTS VERSUS FEDERAL
PROJECTS AND HOPEFULLY. FIND IT
A LITTLE MORE SURGICAL WAY TO
DEAL WITH THAT I RESPECTED
THERE'S A THIRD THIRD THIRD
SORT OF FRAMEWORK GET THE
FEDERAL LEVEL TOO SO THAT FEELS
CLEAN BUT I'D I'D LOVE TO GET
IT A LITTLE MORE TAILORED TO
THE SPECIFIC COSTS NEEDS AND
CAPACITY LOSS TO SUBSIDENCE
OVERLAID WITH THAT BENEFICIARY
PAYS PRINCIPLE- SO JUST FOR
YOUR CONSIDERATION GOING
FORWARD THANK YOU. AND SENATOR
STERN- MISS PIER MOVED TO THE
MICROPHONES IF SHE'S GOING TO.
WHO WHO IS IN THAT IT IS ANY OF
THAT IN THE FORM OF A QUESTION.
IF THAT BE ALRIGHT MISS PIER I
WAS CURIOUS WITH THE
FEASIBILITY OF DOING SOME OF
THAT ANALYSIS THAT YOU TALKED
ABOUT- THAT SOUNDED LIKE A VERY
CONSTRUCTIVE SIT STEP FRANKLY
TO DEFINING AND YOU KNOW REALLY
DURABLE FRAMEWORK HERE GOING
FORWARD SO JUST TAKE ANY
COMMENTS ON JUST SETTING
EXPECTATIONS OF THE ABILITY TO
ASSESS- SOME OF THAT SUBSIDENCE
CAPACITY. ISSUE YES I THINK YOU
HIS PEER THANK YOU- I WAS GONNA
JUST RESPOND THAT I THINK EVERY
YEAR THE DATA GETS BETTER AND
BETTER ABOUT WHERE THE
SUBSIDENCE REALLY IS HOW DO WE
KNOW WHAT THE ACTUAL IMPACT OF
IT IS AND THEN WHERE IT'S
COMING FROM. WE DON'T HAVE THAT
TODAY AND YOU KNOW ONE OF THE-
AS BILL AS YOU YOU TODAY IS THE-
THIS IS A CLIMB EMERGE. INTO
LAW OF WAYS THE ABILITY TO
REALLY BE RESILIENT ABOUT HOW
WE MOVE WATER AROUND THE STATE.
SO WHILE ARE VERY OPEN TO
CONTINUING TO. COLLECT THE DATA
ANALYZE THE DATA. AND TALK
ABOUT RESPONSIBLE PARTIES
VERSES BENEFICIARIES BECAUSE
THEY DO NOT OVERLAP. ENTIRELY
THIS IS REALLY CRITICAL AS WE
SEE IT TO THE WHOLE STATE SO I
THINK THE COMMITMENT IS REALLY
TO KEEP. DEVELOPING THAT
INFORMATION BUT I YOU KNOW I
DEFINITELY COULD NOT. COMMIT TO
HAVING THAT INFORMATION WITHIN
THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION. OKAY
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- MR STERN'S
ON MUTE SO I THINK THAT
COMPLETES HIS SENATOR HUESO AND
THEN CENTER GROVE. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS AND I'M
GONNA ON ONE ALSO THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR MOVING FORWARD WITH
THIS AND BE PHYSICALLY
INHERITED A BIG MESS. AND THE
SOLUTION IS VERY DIFFICULT AND
VERY COSTLY. WE'VE BEEN SITTING
HERE FOR TEN YEARS DISCUSSING
THIS RESTORATION AND WHAT IS A
STATE DONE A RESPONSE TO A TILT
TODAY REALLY NOTHING ON THE A
SHAME- THIS IS A- IMPORTANT-
PIECE OF. OF A RESOURCE THAT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT TO THE ECONOMY
OF OUR STATE HEALTH FOR STATE.
AND A VERY IMPORTANT DELIVERING
DRINKING WATER TO A VERY LARGE
PERCENTAGE OF OUR STATE'S
POPULATIONS VERY SAD. THAT
WE'RE NOWHERE CLOSER TO FIXING
THIS PROBLEM THEN. SINCE I'VE
BEEN HERE DISCUSSING THIS FOR
TEN YEARS WERE STILL DISCUSSING
HERE. SO YOU KNOW I. I'M
LOOKING AT THE BILL AND I SEE A
REASONABLE PROPOSAL OF. LOCAL
STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING THAT
THAT IS A HUGE IMPROVEMENT FROM
THE LAST BILL WHICH I ALSO
SUPPORT BECAUSE I WANT TO
SUPPORTER A FIX FOR THIS. BUT
THERE IS ALSO- THERE THERE'S
LOTS OF CONSIDERATIONS AND ONE
ONE OF THE POSITIONS OF THIS
ANALYSIS TAKES AS WELL WHOEVER
OWNS AND OPERATES IT NEEDS TO
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. AND IT
KIND OF ALLUDES TO THE FACT
THAT WE'RE HERE BECAUSE THEY
DID SOMETHING WRONG. AND REALLY
THIS IS THE RESULT OF YEARS AND
YEARS OF NEGLECT OF OUR WATER
TABLE HERE IN CALIFORNIA THAT
IS CAUSED NOT ONLY SUBSIDENCE
BUT THE REVERSAL OF THE FLOW.
OF A LOT OF THESE RIVERS THAT
ARE NOW THREATENING SPECIES
JUST BECAUSE ARE NOT FLOWING
PROPERLY AND- AND ALSO IS
CAUSING SALT WATER INTRUSION IN
CERTAIN PLACES OF THE COAST ARE
ARE THREATENING. OUR ABILITY TO
GROW FOOD IN IN THOSE AREAS
THAT'S A BIG PROBLEM. AND WE
HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO KEEP THIS
FLOW HEALTHY MOVING IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION. HANSEL THIS
LIST NOT ONLY THIS IS NOT JUST
ABOUT THE AREA FRESNO COUNTY BY
SALIA AREA OF OUR CENTRAL
VALLEY THIS IS REALLY ABOUT THE
WHOLE ECO SYSTEM. OF OUR ENTIRE
CALIFORNIA ESTUARY WHICH.
EXTENDS FROM LOS AND ALL THE
WAY TO MY SHASTA AND THE A
MASSIVE. ESTUARY OF- THAT'S OF.
IT'S HARD FOR ANOTHER ONE AND
WE'RE- THAT IS AS IMPORTANT A
CAN AND IN THE OF FOOD AND AS
AS AS LONG AND FOR AS A ONE IS.
SO WE HAVE TO FIND THE RESOURCE
TO MAKE WORK AND YOU KNOW JUST
WANTED. THE AUTHOR TO CONTINUE
TO WORK ON THIS ONE OF THE OF
THIS I THINK THIS MISSING FROM
THIS BILL THAT NEEDS TO BE
ADDED. TO SOME LEVEL OF MAKING
THIS A STATE PRIORITY AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL. AND USING THIS
BILL TO CALL ON THE CURRENT
PRESIDENTIAL CONGRESSIONAL. OF
THE BODIES- OF THE
ADMINISTRATION AND CONGRESS TO
REALLY- ACT ON. FUNDING THEIR
FAIR SHARE OF THIS. AND I THINK
WHEN YOU WHEN YOU'RE SELECTING
DATA YOU'RE LOOKING AT DATA ONE
THING IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW.
THAT CALIFORNIA HAS STARTED TO
MANAGER GROUNDWATER IT'S GOING
TO TAKE YEARS FOR US TO MAKE IT
HEALTHY BUT WE'VE ALREADY
STARTED THAT PROCESS WHICH HAD
BEEN NEGLECTED FOR. BASICALLY
THE ENTIRE. BOB THE EXISTENCE
OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SINCE EIGHTEEN FIFTY. WE'VE
BEEN DIPPING INTO THAT AQUIFER
FOR SO LONG THAT IT TO THE
SUBSIDENCE IS NOT CREATE CREATE
DAMAGE BUT NOW WE'RE MANAGING
THAT. WERE ACTUALLY PAYING
FARMERS TO FLOOD THEIR FIELDS.
SO THAT THE WATER COULD. SEEP
INTO THE AQUIFER AND BATTLE.
THE ONGOING SUBSIDENCE IS
CURRENTLY THREATENING THE
VALLEY AND I THINK THAT'S ONE
POLICY THAT'S VERY HELPFUL
TOWARD THIS END. IF WE CAN.
ARREST SUBSIDENCE ANY FURTHER.
WE CAN START TO MAKE
INVESTMENTS IN THE SYSTEM AND-
THAT IT'LL BE WANT ONE TIME AND
INVESTMENT AND THAT THIS WILL
NOT CONTINUE FURTHER SO I THINK
A COMBINATION WITH WHAT WE'VE
DONE. WE HAVE A LOT OF A VERY
STRONG A VERY SOLID GROUND TO
STAND ON TO REQUEST MORE MONEY
FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I
WOULD ENCOURAGE THE AUTHOR TO
ADD THAT TO THE BILL OR AT
LEAST A- INTRODUCED A
RESOLUTION- OF A RESOLUTION TO-
ASKING FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO-
THAT. FUND THIS ISSUE I THINK
TRILLIONS ARE BEING RAISED IT
FOR INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S WHAT
I'M HEARING FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS
WORKING ON AN ECONOMIC PACKAGE
THAT WILL BRING MONEY TO FUND
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS THAT
SHOULD BE HIGH ON THE LIST AND-
AND WE SHOULD- ADD THIS PROJECT
TO THE LIST OF ELIGIBLE
PROJECTS FOR THAT FUNDING
SHOULD THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
ACT TO DO THAT AND I THINK THAT
SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE BILL. SO
THAT THEY COULD FIND A MAJOR
PORTION OF THIS BAND AND GIVE
SOME FLEXIBILITY IN THE BILL
SHOULD THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
BRING SOME OF THIS MONEY THERE
SHOULD BE SOME ADJUSTMENT TO
ALLOW THAT. MONEY TO COME IN
AND SAVE THE STATE'S OF MONEY
BECAUSE WE- THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT'S ASSISTANCE AND WE
NEED TO ADD SOME OF THAT MONEY
COME BACK TO THE STATE SO. ONE
ENCOURAGE THE AUTHOR TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS. AND I
THINK THIS WILL THIS BILL
REALLY NEEDS TO STAY ALIVE AND
MOVED FORWARD AND- AND USE THAT
AS A- AS A MEANS OF
COMMUNICATING WITH OUR FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO SAY PLEASE- GET
INVOLVED BECAUSE THIS IS
IMPORTANT PROJECT FOR THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH A SENATOR GROWTH. AT THANK
YOU MATT MISTER CHAIR. I AGREE
WITH THE COMMENTS THAT MY
COLLEAGUE JUST MADE AND- I WANT
TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR
WORK ON THIS BILL AND ALLOWING
ME TO CO AUTHOR IT. YOUR
PREDECESSOR WHO WORKED ON THIS
BILL- IN IT WITH MY COLLEAGUE
FROM SAN DIEGO IS CORRECT THAT
WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS
ISSUE FOR OVER A DECADE- HE
SAID TEN YEARS BUT I BELIEVE
IT'S OVER A DECADE- AND IT IS
VERY FRUSTRATING. THAT WE STILL
CAN'T PROVIDE WATER TO THE
CENTRAL VALLEY. I UNDERSTAND
THE CHAIR'S COMMENTS ABOUT-
NEARLY ENTIRE STATE PAYING FOR
THIS BUT I DISAGREE WITH THE
TEACHER'S COMMENTS ABOUT- ONLY
THE CENTRAL VALLEY BENEFITS
FROM THIS. THE CENTRAL VALLEY
IS THE TOP THREE FOOD PRODUCING
COUNTIES IN THE WORLD NOT IN
THE NATION NONE OF THE STATE IN
THE WORLD. AND THESE AND WHEN
YOU SAID THAT WE ARE AND- YOU
IN YOUR OPENING COMMENTS THAT
WE COULD BE ON THE VERGE OF A
FOOD CRISIS. WE VERY WELL COULD
BE ON THE VERGE OF A FOOD
CRISIS THAT IS NOT DRAMATIC-
THERE ARE NONE SEVERAL
COMMODITIES- BASED ON AND
CALIFORNIA'S- THE FOOD AND DRUG
OR THE FOOD AND DRUG
ADMINISTRATION THAT. HAS BEEN
PUT OUT THAT SEVERAL
COMMODITIES IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY WE PRODUCE 99% OF THEM
IN THE WORLD. THAT MEANS THAT-
IF THESE COMMODITIES GO AWAY.
AT THOSE IT'LL BE VERY HARD TO
GET THOSE THINGS AND I BELIEVE-
ALL OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS- AS
EAT AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER
PISTACHIOS CUTIES KIWIS.
CARROTS THERE'S A TREMENDOUS
AMOUNT OF FOOD THAT IS PRODUCED
THAT ALL OF OUR CONSTITUENTS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE THE NATION
THE WORLD BENEFIT FROM. SO I
DON'T THINK IT'S JUST A BENEFIT
TO THE CENTRAL VALLEY. ALSO
GIVEN MY COLLEAGUE ABOUT THIS
TAKING SO LONG AND- IT TRULY IS
A BIPARTISAN ISSUE A LIKE I
SAID- CENTER VIDAK: HAD WORKED
IN THIS ISSUE. SENATOR HER
DAUGHTER WAS CHAMPION THIS
ISSUE- NOW. AS PRESIDENT TRUMP
AUTHORIZED- DOLLARS TO BE SPENT
ON THIS TWO HUNDRED SIX MILLION
IS ALREADY BEEN ATTRIBUTED.
PRESIDENT BIDEN DIANNE
FEINSTEIN JIM COSTA KEVIN
MCCARTHY THIS TRULY IS A
BIPARTISAN ISSUE AND IT'S
AMAZING TO ME WITH ALL THESE
POWERFUL PEOPLE THAT. HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY ON BOTH SIDES OF
THE AISLE TO BE ABLE TO FIX THE
SITUATION THAT WE CAN'T EVER
SEEM TO GET IT DONE. M. SO
THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING GOING
ON THAT WE ARE NOT AWARE AT.
THIS BILL- APPROPRIATES-
THERE'S ABOUT THERE'S MONEY
THAT NOT JUST A FRANK CURRENT
CANAL CORRECT THERE IS FOR
CANALS THAT ARE BEING FIXED
WITH THIS. INCLUDING THE DELTA
MENDOTA- SUBSIDENCE ISSUE IN
THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE THERE
AND THEN ALSO. WITH THE
CALIFORNIA AQUIDNECK- THERE IS
A THE SIZE ISSUE WE HAVE THE
ABILITY TO DELIVER WATER- IS
THE MECHANISM IS THERE IT JUST
HAS BEEN NEEDED INFRASTRUCTURE
FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME IN
YOUR BILL SOLVES THAT. IN YOUR
BILL SOLVES A VERY
STRATEGICALLY FROM ONE THIRD-
FROM THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
ONE THIRD OF THE RESOURCES
COMING FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND ONE THIRD FROM
THE END USERS. I HAVE TO TELL
YOU THAT THE END USERS ARE
TAKING A HUGE RISK AGAIN AND
YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT. THE
END USERS PAID FOR- AGREED TO
THE WATER BOND THEY PAID FOR
AND THEY'RE PAYING FOR MORE
WATER NOW. AND THEN IS BEING
DELIVERED. IT'S LIKE GOING TO A
GROCERY STORE IN PUTTING A
HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THE
GROCERIES ON THE BELT. AND
WALKING OUT OF THE STORE OF TO
PAY A HUNDRED DOLLARS WITH TEN
DOLLARS WORTH OF A PRODUCT. AND
THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH
OUR END USERS THEY'RE PAYING
FOR WATER THAT THEY NO LONGER
GET. AND SO THEY ARE TAKING A
RISK TO BE ABLE TO PUT UP THIS
THIRD. BUT I'M GLAD THAT
THEY'RE DOING IT AND THEY STILL
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE SYSTEM.
AND I THINK THAT TAKES SOMEONE
LIKE YOU TO BRING ALL THOSE
PARTIES TOGETHER. AM I KNOW YOU
HAVE GREAT RELATIONSHIPS OF THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. PRIOR
ADMINISTRATION I AGREE
RELATIONSHIPS. OF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT YOU BROUGHT THEM HE-
YOU DO THAT NOW I HAVE TOLD.
CONFIDENCE IN YOU TO DO THAT.
AND I REALLY DO BELIEVE- I
REALLY DO BELIEVE. THAT THIS
COULD BE THE TO THAT WE CAN
ACTUALLY. GE THE SIX. FIX AND-
THAT AND- I. EVERY AT THE TABLE
AND I THINK THAT EVERYBODY IN
THE STATE THE NATION EVEN THE
WORLD BENEFIT FROM S. FIXING
THIS PROBLEM. AGAIN I JUST WANT
TO EMPHASIZE. AND LET THAT SINK
IN A LITTLE BIT THE TOP THREE
FOOD. PRODUCING COUNTIES IN THE
ENTIRE WORLD- ARE IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY. AND DEBT WATER
THAT IS NOT JUST A SLOGAN THAT
FOOD GROWS WHERE WATER FLOWS
AND WE NEED WATER TO BE ABLE TO
PRODUCE THAT FOOD. THAT ALL OF
OUR CONSTITUENTS EAT. SO I
THINK YOU FOR- CHAMPION THIS I
THINK YOU- FOR WILLING TO BE
WILLING TO WORK ACROSS THE
AISLE NOT ONLY HERE BUT IN THE
PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION WITH
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT YOU WERE
RIGHT THERE WORKING ACROSS THE
AISLE. DOING EVERYTHING HE
COULD TO BRING WATER TO THE
CENTRAL VALLEY SO THANK YOU
MISTER TITLE FOR THAT AND THANK
YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE A CO
AUTHOR. THANK YOU SENATOR
SENATOR EGGMAN. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH AND I'LL I WANT TO. I
WOULD SAY THAT BY I WOULD I WAS
ONE OF THE- WHO WORKED ON THAT
TWO THOUSAND AND FOURTEEN WATER
BOND AND YOU KNOW WE HAD HIGH
HOPES THAT WAS GONNA. YEAH TO
PERHAPS MORE THAN IT DID. BUT
ONE OF THE TENANTS WE MADE A
NOTE THAT WAS ALL AREAS OF THE
STATE BE TREATED. EQUALLY OUR
WATER. THINGS GO WATER FLOWS IN
IN INFLOWS. IT COULD IT DOESN'T
ALWAYS ORIGINATE WHERE IT THE
END USES WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK
TO DO ON OUR WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE AND I'LL BE I'LL
BE SUPPORTING THIS BILL TODAY
BUT I'D LIKE TO STATE FOR THE
RECORD I AM NOT A CO AUTHOR I
THINK IT IS THAT MY COLLEAGUE
FROM SALINAS WHO IS A CO AUTHOR
ON THE SYSTEM. THANK THANK YOU.
AND THEN JUST BEFORE. FOLLOWING
INTO CLOSE. I WOULD ADD ONE
INTERESTING THING BECAUSE IT
WAS SAID NOT MUCH HAS BEEN DONE
THAT WATER BOND- THE PARK ROAD
ALLY PRIME AGRICULTURAL AREA.
MONEY WENT FOR WATER RECYCLING
END IN THE YEAR BEFORE THE
PANDEMIC WHERE THEY HAVE SEA
WATER INTRUSION THAT CENTER
HUESO WAS TALKING ABOUT. FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN MODERN TIMES
THERE WAS NO SEWAGE THAT CAME
OUT OF THE OUT FALL INTO THE
MONTEREY BAY BECAUSE THEY WERE
RECYCLING AT A HUNDRED PERCENT.
A. N. USE AGAIN AGAINST THE SEA
WATER INTRUSION AND PRIMARY
GARIA SO ALL THESE THINGS TO
FIT TOGETHER IN A- DIFFERENT
POINT. CENTER WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
AND THANK YOU MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE FOR YOUR COMMENTS FOR
YOUR CONCERNS FOR YOUR SUPPORT-
HI. THIS BILL AND IN GENERAL
THAT THE DISHES OF THE CENTRAL
VALLEY THIS IS NOT ABOUT. A RED

IMPACTED BY. THIS LACK OF
WATER- IN TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN
I SAW FIRST HAND D. D. AND A
NON DROUGHT YEAR THE DAMAGE
THAT IT DOES TO REAL PEOPLE NOT
HAVING WATER- AND WE'RE GONNA
HAVE A LOT OF THAT. I EVEN NOW-
AND I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT
INVESTMENT IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY IS AN INVESTMENT IN ALL
CALIFORNIA BUT- I BELIEVE THAT
IT STRETCHES FAR FAR BEYOND
THAT. CALIFORNIA HAS THE
ABILITY TO HELP PREVENT A
GLOBAL FOOD CRISIS IT'S VERY
REAL IT'S THIS IS NOT A JOKE-
IT'S NOT TRYING TO. EXAGGERATE

WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO- ITEM
NUMBER SEVEN. S. B. TWENTY
SEVEN CENTER SKINNER SENATOR
SKINNER IS SOON AS THE-
PODIUM'S COINS HERE WELCOME 2%
WELCOME TO THE COMMITTEE. THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS- SB
TWENTY SEVEN. IS ANOTHER WE USE
THESE TERMS ANOTHER TOOL IN THE
TOOL KIT BASICALLY WE TO REALLY
AVERT THE WORST ASPECTS OF THE
CLIMATE CRISIS WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO DO MORE THAN JUST EMISSIONS
REDUCTIONS- OUR- NATURE BASED
SOLUTIONS WETLANDS FORESTS
HEALTHY SOILS THE OCEAN SO MUCH
MORE. HAVE THE CAPACITY TO
CAPTURE CARBON FROM THE
ATMOSPHERE THAT'S PART OF THEIR
LIVING CYCLE. THOSE SOLUTIONS
JUST DEAD IN THEIR NATURAL
PROCESSES ARE LOWER COST THAN
MANY OF OUR EMISSIONS REDUCTION
ACTIVITIES. AND WE HAVE A
UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY RIGHT NOW
WHERE THERE ARE MANY IN THE
PRIVATE SECTOR MANY COMPANIES
THAT WANT TO FUNNEL THEIR MONEY
INTO SUPPORTING PROJECTS THEY
ARE IN WHAT WE MIGHT CALL THE
VOLUNTARY MARKET. AND THEY HAVE
BEEN SIGNING PLEDGES TO GO
CARBON NEUTRAL BY TWENTY FORTY
AHEAD OF THE PARIS CLIMATE
ACCORD COMPANIES LIKE UNILEVER
MICROSOFT IBM COCA COLA COOPER.
SO WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THIS
BILL IS FOR US TO CREATE A
VOLUNTARY REGISTRY OF SUCH
PROJECTS SO THAT. IN THE END I
WANT TO BE VERY SPECIFIC HERE
THESE THIS WOULD NOT BE
PROJECTS THAT COULD BE USED TO
MEET YOUR EIGHT COMPANIES OR AN
ENTITY STATUTORILY REQUIRED
EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS NOW WE
KNOW THAT IN THE STATUTORILY
REQUIRED EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS
THERE ARE DO YOU THERE IS THE
ABILITY FOR COMPANIES TO USE
OFFSETS BUT THAT'S A VERY
FORMALIZED PRACTICE THIS BILL
DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THAT
PRACTICE. THIS BILL IN EFFECT
WILL HELP US PREVENT
GREENWASHING CAN HELP US DIRECT
THIS PRIVATE SECTOR MONEY INTO
CALIFORNIA BY CREATING A
REGISTRY THAT. VERIFIES PROD
YOU CAN BE ON THE BALLOT MARKET
THAT WE KNOW ARE REAL AND
ACTUALLY ACT CAPTURING CARBON
ADDITIONALLY MORE IMPORTANTLY
IT DIRECTS IN ORDER TO DO THAT
IT DIRECTS OUR NATURAL
RESOURCES AGENCY AND A. R. B.
TO SET GOALS FOR CARBON
SEQUESTRATION FROM NATURAL
WORKING LANDS AND THEN
ESTABLISHING THIS VOLUNTARY
REGISTRY OF CARBON
SEQUESTRATION PROJECTS AT OPR
AND NOTICED I TOOK IT OUT OF
THE REGULATORY ENTITY BECAUSE
IT IS NOT TO BE USED TO MEET
OUR STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS- BUT
IT DOES REQUIRES. A RB TO TRACK
PROJECTS AND WITH THAT I'D LIKE
COHEN CEO OF THE CLIMATE PLAN
MIGHT MY TWO KEY WITNESSES ARE

THIRTY. YOU AND SCIENTIFICO. IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN THAT TO PREVENT
DANGEROUS IMPACTS OF CLIMATE
CHANGE WE HAVE TO CUT EMISSIONS
IN HALF BY TWENTY THIRTY. AND
REMOVE EMISSIONS ALREADY PUT IN
THE ATMOSPHERE FROM HUMAN
ACTIVITY. NEW STUDIES SINCE
THEN SHOW WILL PASS THE ONE
POINT FIVE CELSIUS THRESHOLD OF
DANGEROUS FORMING WITHIN THE
NEXT DECADE MUCH EARLIER THAN
EXPECTED. REQUIRING XCELERATED
EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS AS WELL AS
XCELERATED INVESTMENTS IN
NATURAL SEQUESTRATION. A
GROWING NUMBER OF SCIENTIFIC
STUDIES SHOW THAT NATURAL AND
WORKING LANDS CAN SEQUESTER
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF
ADDITIONAL CARBON WITH ADDED
BENEFITS OF HELPING OUR STATE
THE MORE RESILIENT TO EVER
WORSENING DROUGHT WILDFIRE AND
SHE LEVEL RISE. WHILE
INCREASING GROUNDWATER SUPPLIES
WATER IN AIR QUALITY
BIODIVERSITY AND FOOD SECURITY
THEY'RE ALSO NEW TECHNOLOGIES
EMERGING FOR DIRECTLY CAPTURING

SUPPORT SALL SCALE TESTING OF
THESE TECHNOLOGIES ONLY IF THEY
DO NOT NEGATIVELY IMPACT
NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES AND THE
ENVIRONMENT I DO NOT REDUCE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
REDUCTIONS EFFORTS. WE ALSO
SUPPORT THE STATE PARTNERING
WITH PRIVATE ENTITIES TO SCALE

SEVEN. THANK YOU. PORTABLE
CHAIR STEAMERS OF THE COMMITTEE
MY NAME IS KERRY HUGHES AND I
WORK AS THE CALIFORNIA POLICY
MONITORED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL
ORGANIZATION BIO FUEL WATCH.
OUR ORGANIZATION OPPOSES THIS
BILL WE ARE CONCERNED ON MANY
LEVELS. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT A
BILL THAT CARRIES A TITLE OF
NATURAL AND WORKING LANDS WOULD
ALSO CARRY SPECIFIC LANGUAGE
FOR PROMOTING UNPROVEN AND
RISKY TECHNOLOGIES LIKE DIRECT
AIR CAPTURE. IN CARBON CAPTURE
USE AND SEQUESTRATION. WHAT IS
BECOMING INCREASINGLY CLEAR TO
THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING CLOSELY
AT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THESE
TECHNOLOGIES WITHOUT CARBON
CAPTURE AND SEQUESTRATION AND
ALL THE HYPOTHESIZE FORMS POSES
A GROWING AND POORLY UNDERSTOOD
THREAT. TO COMMUNITIES AND THE
ENVIRONMENT. FOR THIS REASON WE
THINK THE LANGUAGE IN THE BILL
THAT REFERS TO NEW CLEAN
INDUSTRIAL HUBS COMPLETELY
MISREPRESENTS THE TECHNOLOGY
BEING PROPOSED. THERE IS
NOTHING THAT I NECESSARILY BUT
NINE ABOUT THESE PROPOSED
INDUSTRIES MISTER HUGHES THE
HELICOPTER MACROLIDES MISTER
HUGHES THIS IS ACTUALLY THE
TIME FOR. FOR NAME ORGANIZATION
AND JUST POSITION BUT ONE WE
HAD NO LEAD OPPOSITION WITNESS
I WATCHED YOU PERCENT SO LET ME
JUST THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
YOUR COMMENTS AND ASKED THE
MODERATOR IF THERE'S ANYBODY
ELSE NAME ORGANIZATION AND
POSITION IN OPPOSITION. SECURE
THERE'S NO ONE ELSE AT THE
MOMENT THEY WISH TO SPEAK THANK
YOU VERY MUCH I'LL BRING THE
MATTER BACK BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE FOR QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS OR ACTIONS. SENATOR
EGGMAN BUT I THINK YOU I WOULD
THAT I WOULD THINK IF YOU WORK
ON THIS BILL SENATOR AND ALSO
ON THAT WORKING TO- WITH THE
AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY TO MAKE
SURE THAT NO ONE IS HARMED WITH
THIS AND I WOULD MOVE THE BILL
OKAY THE BILL'S BEEN MOVED BY
SENATOR EGGMAN- ANY OTHER
COMMENTS. SENATOR SKINNER YOU
MIGHT. END UP. PARDON STERN
HELLO I APOLOGIZE SENATOR STERN
I DIDN'T SEE OF RECOGNIZE
SENATOR STERN. I'LL BE BRIEF
MISTER CHAIR I JUST WANT TO
THANK THE AUTHOR FOR HER
DILIGENCE HERE AND- I THINK
YOU'VE- GOT A- SMARTER APPROACH
TO A COMPLICATED. AREA I THINK
YOU'VE EVEN OCULAR IN SOME OF
THE- CONCERNS THEY MAY BE OUT
THERE FOR THIS SORT OF FUTURE.
FACING TECHNOLOGIES IN THE
CARBON SEQUESTRATION SPACE I
DON'T THINK BUT AS TENSIONS ARE
NECESSARILY GOING TO GO AWAY
BUT I THINK IT'S- IT'S THE
RIGHT THING TO DO TO JUST START
DOING THE MATH. AND PUT A
FRAMEWORK OUT THERE THAT WE CAN
BUILD ON SO I THINK THIS IS A
REALLY CONSTRUCTIVE VEHICLE AND
I APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S WORK
WITH THE COMMITTEE. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. JUST BEFORE I ASK A
SENATOR SKINNER TO CLOSE LET ME
JUST SAY CENTER ALAN. IF YOU'RE
WITHIN EARSHOT. FILE ITEM MATE
SB FOUR THIRTY THREE HIS NEXT
UP AND WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU
AND- ROOM. A SENATOR SKINNER
YOU COULD CLOSE. THANK YOU
CHAIR AND- BY WILL I THANK THE
CHAIR A REMOTE CHAIR FOR HIS
COMMENTS- THE I WANTED TO JUST
ADDRESS THE OPPOSITION. QUICKLY
THE- I SHARE THE CONCERN ABOUT
WE SEE A NUMBER OF INDUSTRIES
ARE CLAIMING THAT THEY CAN-
ENGAGING CARBON CAPTURE AND
WE'VE NOT REALLY SEEN REAL
PROOF OF THAT AND SO BY NO
MEANS DO I WANT TO CREATE A
CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE WE WOULD-
ALLOW FOR- QUESTIONABLE
TECHNOLOGIES WITHIN THIS
REGISTRY. AND IT IS ONE OF THE
REASONS I STATED THAT MY
PURPOSE IS TO TRY TO PREVENT
GREENWASHING. AND THAT WHAT THE
BILL THE ONE TECHNOLOGY IT DOES
REFERENCE IS SOMETHING CALLED
DIRECT AIR CAPTURE BUT DIRECT
AIR CAPTURE IS DIFFERENT THAN
CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE- AND
YOU KNOW WE DON'T HAVE THAT
MUCH OF A DEMONSTRATION OF THAT
PARTICULAR TECHNOLOGY BUT IT
MAY BE A VERY. VIABLE ONE AND
SO WE DON'T WANT TO- JUST KNOCK
IT OUT WITHOUT. IT WITHOUT IT
REALLY BEING ABLE TO SEE WHAT
ITS POTENTIAL IS BUT IT IS A
DIFFERENT DAY AND CARBON
CAPTURE AND STORAGE. AND WITH
THAT I ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- WOULD YOU
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. FILE ITEM

MOTION IS TO PASS TO

THE REST OF THE SENATE THANK
YOU VERY MUCH SENATOR SKINNER
MOVED A FILE ITEM NUMBER EIGHT
SB FOR THIRTY THREE SENATOR
ALAN. WELCOME TO THE COMMISSION.
RUNNING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN.
VENDA HERE SIR FEBRUARY LOOKS
LIKE A ON MY PRESERVATION HERE
TO WEIGH MY COLLEAGUES- BUT I'M
GLAD YOU'RE STILL HERE MISTER
CHAIR. LET ME- LET ME JUST
START BY THINKING FATEH
COMMITTEE. FOR ALL THE HARD
WORK THAT WAS PUT INTO THE BILL
I AM HAPPY TO ACCEPT. THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS. THIS IS
AN IMPORTANT MEASURE IT WILL IT
WILL IMPROVE THE COASTAL
COMMISSION'S ABILITY. TO
IMPLEMENT AND ENFORCE THE
COASTAL ACCESS AND PROTECT
COASTAL WETLANDS AND STREAMS
AND FORESTS. I ENDANGERED
SPECIES HABITAT AGRICULTURAL
LANDS SCENIC WATER VIEWS SAYS
LOW COST RECREATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES. DESPITE BEING
THE LEAD AGENCY TASKED WITH
IMPLEMENTING THE COASTAL ACT
THE COASTAL COMMISSION STARKLY
HAS HAD LIMITED ABILITY TO
ENFORCE THE LAW. ORIGINALLY
ONLY THE CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY
GENERAL I COULD BRING A CASE
AGAINST AN ENTITY FOR VIOLATING
THE ACT IN ONLY A COURT COULD
IMPOSE MONETARY PENALTIES. THE
COURSE FOLLOWING THE MANY
REPORTS AND ANALYSES DONE BY
THE ALLEY- HIGHLIGHTING THE- A
CUMBERSOME PROCESS THAT RESULTS
IN FEW FINES AND PENALTIES
ISSUED BY THE COMMISSION. DUE
TO THE HIGH COST OF PURSUING
ENFORCEMENT THROUGH THE COURTS
IS THAT. THE ONLY- FINDING-
DEEMED IN TWENTY FOURTEEN THE
COMMISSION WAS GRANTED LIMITED
AUTHORITY TO ISSUE
ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES FOR
PUBLIC ACCESS VIOLATIONS ONLY
THIS IS THE PRO TIMES BUILT.
AND WAS ASKED TO REPORT BACK TO
THE LEGISLATURE. SINCE THEN THE
COMMISSION WAS ABLE TO WIN THE
SO PROGRAMS BUILT- AND SINCE
THEN THE COMMISSION'S ACTUALLY
BEEN ABLE TO MORE EFFECTIVELY
RESOLVE PUBLIC ACCESS CASES THE
AVERAGE TIME REQUIRED TO CLOSE
THE CASE STRENGTH FROM THREE
YEARS TO THREE MONTHS. THE
INCENTIVE ACTUALLY WAS SO
STRONG THAT 95% OF CASES WERE
CLOSED BEFORE VOLUNTARY
COOPERATION 90% OF THOSE- WERE
WITHOUT ANY PENALTIES ISSUES
AND THAT'S SOMETHING I THINK
THAT FOLKS NEED TO. TO
RECOGNIZE- BUT HAVING. THE
ENFORCEMENT POWER. BROUGHT
PEOPLE TO THE TABLE IN A WAY
THAT THEY WEREN'T. COMING TO
THE TABLE BEFORE. AND AS I SAY
NINETY PERCENT. OF THE- OF THE
CASES WERE RESOLVED WITH
LITERALLY NO PENALTY ISSUE. SO
THIS DEMONSTRATES THAT. THIS
THREAT IS AN IS AN EFFECTIVE
TOOL FOR RESOLVING VIOLATIONS
WITHOUT LITIGATION- BUT ALSO
THERE'S THE TRACK RECORD SHOWS-
LEASE THE DATA THAT WE'VE SEEN
THAT THE THAT THE COMMISSION
CAN WORK RESPONSIBLY WITH
LANDOWNERS TO ACHIEVE RESULTS
FOR THE BENEFIT THE PUBLIC- YOU
KNOW I DO KNOW. THERE ARE SOME-
CONCERNS ABOUT THE WAY TO THE
COMMISSION DOES ITS WORK AND
CERTAINLY ONE THING I'M VERY
INTERESTED IN DOING IS WORKING
WITH. THE HOLDERS AND PEOPLE
WHO SHARE THE- HAVE THOSE
CONCERNS TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT
THE COMMISSION IS ACTING
RESPONSIBLY I DON'T WANT THEM
TO ACT IN AN IMPERIOUS MANNER
BUT- WE ALSO WE DO HAVE
SITUATIONS WHERE. BECAUSE LIKE
IS A VERY IMPORTANT THING. FOR
PUBLIC ACCESS AND ALSO FOR.
NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
AND PRESERVATION- YOU KNOW WE
DO HAVE SITUATIONS- LET'S SAY A
DEVELOPER FAILS TO COMPLY WITH
PERMIT CONDITIONS ARE
UNDERTAKES ON PERMITTED
ACTIVITIES SUCH AS BULLDOZING
WETLANDS DIVERTING DISCHARGING
INTO COASTAL STREAMS CLEARING
ENDANGERED SPECIES HABITAT TO
PROTECT YOU TO BUILD PUTTING
GREENS- YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW
THERE'S JUST SO LITTLE FEAR OF
CONSEQUENCES IN THE COMMISSION
HAS LITTLE RECOURSE. CASES EVER
MAIN RUN RESULT FOR YEARS
ALLOWING UNDER ONGOING DAMAGE
TO PUBLIC RESOURCES AND COSTING
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS ANNUALLY IN STAFF TIME
AND RESOURCES. FOR THIS BILL
BUILDS ON THE COMMISSION'S
EXISTING PROVEN PROCESS. TIME I
AND SO THAT YOU KNOW AND I
GUESS THE LAST THING I'LL SAY
IS THAT- THE IT SEEMS AS THOUGH
MOST OF THE CONCERNS I'VE HEARD
ABOUT THE COASTAL COMMISSION'S.
BEHAVIOR HAVE REALLY CENTERED
ON ISSUES RELATING TO PUBLI
ACCESS THIS THIS BILL DOES NOT
TOUCH UPON THAT ISSUE THE
ACTUALLY DEALS WITH EVERYTHING
ELSE IN THE IN THE COASTAL ACT
NOT PUBLIC ACCESS AND IT'S-
THINGS THAT I KNOW. SO MANY
PEOPLE IN MALIBU IN OTHER
PLACES ALONG THE COAST. SO LOVE
ABOUT THE COASTAL ACT AFFECTED
BECAUSE LIKE FOR TAX. CUTS
RESOURCES- YOU KNOW BEHIND
FLORA FAUNA ETCETERA. AND
THAT'S REALLY WHAT THIS BILL IS
ABOUT ENSURING THAT THE COASTAL
COMMISSION IS ABLE TO. I DO
IT'S IMPORTANT WORK IN IN. IN
IN ENSURING THAT THE COASTAL
ACT IN THE PROTECTIONS IN THE
COASTAL ACT WITH REGARDS TO
WETLANDS AND FORESTS AND
ENDANGERED SPECIES HABITAT IS
ACTUALLY EFFECTUATED. NOW WITH
THAT I HAVE BEEN A BUNCH GO
HERE FROM BECAUSE THE
COMMISSION ALSO DANIEL WILSON

AND CERTAINLY ASK YOUR
CONSIDERATION TODAY MEMBERS.

FOURTEEN. I AND THAT'S WHEN THE
CENTER- SPEAKER ATKINS PASSED A
BILL THAT ALLOWED US TO. IMPOSE
FINES FOR PUBLIC ACCESS
VIOLATIONS WITHIN THE SORT SIX
YEAR PERIOD CENSUS FORTY HAS TO
GRANTED TO US WE NOW HAVE
SETTLED 95% OF OUR PUBLIC
ACCESS VIOLATIONS AND WE HAVE
RESOLVED THEM INSTEAD OF IN A
THOUSAND DAYS WHICH WAS THE
AVERAGE- IT'S A HUNDRED DAYS.
SO IT'S BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE AT
95% WERE. SOLVED WITH NO FINES
WHATSOEVER WE PRESENTLY HAVE
ABOUT THREE THOUSAND OPEN
UNRESOLVED VIOLATIONS WHICH ARE
NOT PUBLIC ACCESS THEY DEAL
WITH SENSITIVE HABITATS. AS IT
STANDS WITHOUT THE- VIOLATIONS-
PENALTY PROTECTION WE HAVE- NOT
THEODORO WE HAVE NOT HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY- GET
PEOPLE TO THE TABLE TO-
NEGOTIATE AND SIX SOME OF THESE
PROBLEMS. OF THE THREE THOUSAND
OPEN- VIOLATIONS IT CAN TAKE UP

TRY TO RESOLVE THEM AND I THE
COMMISSIONERS BEEN HERE A LONG.

SURE THERE IS NO ONE ELSE WOULD
SIGNAL THAT THEY WISH TO SPEAK
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MODERATOR.
WE'RE GOING TO BRING THE- THE
BILL BACK BEFORE THE COMMITTEE.
OUR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OF
SENATOR JONES THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR I UNDERSTAND THE AUTHOR'S
GONNA TAKE SOME AMENDMENTS-
THEY'RE GONNA SPEAK TO DUE
PROCESS AND I WAS JUST
WONDERING IF- THE AUTHOR WOULD
CARE TO SPEAK TO THAT AND-
EXPLAINED WHAT THAT HOW MAY NOT
BE JUST CLARIFY AUTHOR THESE
ARE THE AMENDMENTS YOU SAID
YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE AT THE
BEGINNING OF YOUR STATEMENT YES
I AM I AM I AM I THOUGHT
SUCCESSFULLY AMENDMENTS AND SO-
ON. OKAY SO THE BILL DOES ON
THE DUE PROCESS TO ASSIGNMENTS
IT'S AN IMPORTANT TIME THANK
YOU FOR BRINGING IT OUT OF THE
BILL PROVIDES FOR A SIXTY DAY
GRACE PERIOD FOR VIOLATORS. TO
VOLUNTARILY. RESOLVE VIOLATIONS
WITH NO PENALTY- A VOTE OF THE
FOR COMMISSION. THE NEW PUBLIC
HEARING ORDER TO ASSESS THE
PENALTY AND IT'S ALL DONE
ACCORDING TO BAGLEY KEENE- DUE
PROCESS PROTECTIONS TO ALLEGED
VIOLATORS- THAT INCLUDES A
JUDICIAL REVIEW- IN THE
DEPOSITION OF ALL FINES INTO
THE COASTAL CONSERVANCY'S
VIOLATION REMEDIATION ACT WHICH
IS THAT USED TO SUPPORT.
RESTORATION AND PRESERVATION
PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS AS
OPPOSED TO SO IT DOESN'T IT'S A
VERY- CONFINED FIVE AND THERE
WAS CONCERN IN THE PAST THAT. I
WAS GOING INTO A GENERAL FUND
IN THAT THERE WAS A CONFLICT OF
INTEREST AND SO THIS IS- THAT'S
RESOLVED THROUGH. THROUGH THE
SPECIAL ACCOUNT THAT'S BEEN
THAT'S BEEN CREATED- SO THE SO
THERE IS A YES AND IT IN INTO
THE CITY COPY TO- WORK WITH THE
COMMITTEE AND MEMBERS ON ON ON
FURTHER DUE PROCESS PROTECTIONS
IF THAT'S OF INTEREST. THANK
YOU AND YOU KNOW ON THE NOTE
OF. EACH ONE OF YOUR-
SUPPORTING WITNESSES MENTIONED
THAT THERE'S THREE THOUSAND
OUTSTANDING CASES. FIVE I HEARD
THAT CORRECTLY- IF THIS BILL
PASSES IS THERE KIND OF ANY.
FILE I'M HOW LONG IT'LL TAKE TO
CLEAN THOSE UP CLEAR THOSE UP.
YES TO THE ISSUE I'VE BUT
WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THAT WHEN
THE PROTEST AND ARMS WHAT'S
INTERESTING IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT
WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE PRO
TEM'S BILL THIS IS THE BILL.
THAT WAS PASSED BACK IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN- THE- THE ACT OF
GIVING THEM. HE HAS A LITTLE
BIT MORE AND FOR GOOD FORTUNE
PACKAGE LITTLE IT WAS JUST IT
WAS STILL IT WAS IT HAD TO BE
DONE BY THE AG I MEAN THE VA G.
POLICE THE- THE ACT AND IT WAS
JUST A ABSOLUTE IMPOSSIBILITY
THE AG JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE
BANDWIDTH. SO GIVING THEM THIS
ENFORCEMENT POWER. DRAMATICALLY
IN DEBT. INCREASED COMPLIANCE-
TO THE PUBLIC FOR THE PUBLIC
ACCESS QUESTIONS OF THE TO
LITERALLY 95% OF THE- CASES
WERE CLOSE WITH FULL VOLUNTARY
COOPERATION. ON BOTH SIDES 90%
OF THEM HOW WERE ISSUED WE'RE
DONE WITH NO PENALTIES ISSUED.
THE STATE A LOT OF MONEY ON
LITIGATION. I RECEIVED A LOT OF
TIME THE CASES WENT FROM BEING
RESOLVED IN THREE YEARS TO
THREE MONTHS THE AVERAGE. SO-
YOU KNOW THE ISSUE RIGHT NOW WE
HAVE IS THIS IS A LOT OF PEOPLE
WHO BASICALLY I MEAN I YOU KNOW
UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS THE CASE
THEY JUST THEY JUST KNOW THAT
THE BECAUSE THE COMMISSION
DOESN'T HAVE THE REAL POWER TO-
AND- WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE
TO ENFORCE SOME OF THESE
VIOLATIONS AND- AND SO FOLKS
DISCOUNT ON THE GO POUND SAND
AND THERE'S JUST NOT A LOT THAT
CAN BE DONEIN THESE THINGS AND
GETTING STUCK. IN YEARS AND
YEARS OF- OF DEBATING AND BY
THE WAY THE WHAT THE OTHER
QUESTION TO THE OTHER POINT TO
BRING UP SOMETIMES THESE THINGS
TO GO TO COURT AND THERE WAS A
RECENT COURT CASE WHERE THE
COURT AND SAID IT IS ACTUALLY
MENTIONED IN- ON ON PAGES FOUR
AND FIVE OF THE ANALYSIS- IT
WAS A CASE WHERE. WAS A BIG.
RENT FOR THE STRUCTURES THAT.
BUILT THAT IMPEDED PUBLIC
ACCESS TO THE BEACH IN
VIOLATION OF THE OF THE COASTAL
ACT AND- YOU KNOW THE- THE-
SERVICE WAS DONE THIS IS THIS
IS ALL HAPPENING LONG BEFORE.
LONG BEFORE THE BILL HAPPEN IN
TWENTY FOURTEEN. AND YOU KNOW.
THE LAND THE LAND OWNER WHO
WINNER WAS BASICALLY RENTING
OUT A PROPERTY FOUR THOUSAND
BUCKS AND I CALLING IT A
PRIVATE BEACH. AND CLEAR
VIOLATION THE COASTAL ACTIVITY
BASICALLY TOLD THE CHEMICALS
LIKE TO GO POUND SAND AND
EVENTUALLY OF COURSE THE
LEGISLATION CHANGE THEY HAD
THEY HAD SOME MORE ENFORCEMENT
POWER IN THIS WAS THE END OF
THIS WENT TO COURT. AND THE
COURT ACTUALLY FOUND NOT ONLY
FOR THE GOAL SOUNDS AND WITH
THE BEACH TERM YES EXACTLY- OF
THE PLAN WAS INTENDED RIGHT.
HEY. BUT HE DIDN'T THE YOU KNOW
THE EVENTS THE OTHER KEY THING
IN THE COURT CASES THAT THEY
FOUND- THE COURT THAT THE
APPEALS COURT ACTUALLY WENT TO
APPEALS COURT AND THEY
DETERMINED THAT- THAT THERE WAS
A SUBSTANTIAL DUE PROCESS
ASSOCIATED WITH BECAUSE THE
COMMISSION'S APPROACH AND
SENATOR JONES WAS AT RESPONSIVE
TO YOUR QUESTION I THINK SO
YES. OKAY THANK YOU. OTHER OR
COMMENTS. GOVERNMENTS ARE
APOLOGIZE AGAIN SENATOR STERN
I'M GONNA GO RIGHT TO YOU.
THANKS MISTER CHAIR- GOOD THE
CALLING WE APPRECIATE AT THE
GATES AND I JUST WANT TO THANK.
I KNOW THE AUTHOR- STRETCHED
HERE AND DUG IN WITH THE
COMMITTEE AND- THE EXTENSIVE
AMENDMENTS THAT YOU SEE IN THE
ANALYSIS- ARE THE PRODUCT OF. A
S. LONG SERIES OF DISCUSSIONS
TO TRY TO PUT A FRAMEWORK
TOGETHER HERE THAT. THAT ISN'T
JUST TAILORED TO A PUBLIC
ACCESS VIOLATION WHICH WAS THE
ORIGINAL VERSION OF THE BILL
BUT REALLY TAILORED TO THESE
OTHER. KINDS OF IMPACTS. YOU
KNOW DUMPING ON BEACHES OR
DAMAGE TO ENVIRONMENT SENSITIVE
HABITAT- OR SEEN MINING MAYBE
NOT COUNTING OF SAND BUT MINING
OF SAND AND THE REALLY
EGREGIOUS VIOLATION SO I JUST
WANTED TO POINT OUT AN
ADDITIONAL INTO YOUR YOUR-
EFFORT ON ENSURING THERE'S-
MISTER DUE PROCESS AND A FAIR
PROCESS HERE. THROUGH THE
LEGISLATION AND THAT'S ALSO
DEALING WITH THE DOUBLE
JEOPARDY ISSUE AS WELL AS THE
CURE PERIOD BEING EXTENDED TO
SIXTY DAYS- AND THE RIGHT TO
APPEAL OBVIOUSLY BUT THE OTHER
KEY ELEMENTS THERE WE
APPRECIATE. YOU ALL AND YOUR
SUPPORTERS FOR MEETING US ON
OUR PRESERVING ALSO THE ABILITY
FOR LOCAL JURISDICTIONS TO DO
BUILDING CODE ENFORCEMENT ON
THEIR OWN AND I THINK THAT'S
OFTEN WHEN WE GET SOME OF THE
BEST OUTCOMES IS WHERE THE
SMALLER VIOLATIONS. ARE DEALT
WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT BY WITH
BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE
ANYONE ELSE E. P. N. AND OTHER
CODES THAT THEY CAN FORCE MORE
NAME BILLION THAT HAVE THE
COASTAL COMMISSION GO AFTER.
THE BIG THINGS THAT SORT OF
DEFIANT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
ABILITY TO. TO DO THE JOB HERE-
SO THANKS FOR MAKING ALL THOSE-
AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE BILL

TODAY THANK YOU SO MUCH. BOB

THINK YOU KNOW HIS FOLKS IN HIS
DISTRICT OF HAD. AWESOME
CHALLENGES WITH THE COASTAL
COMMISSION- SOME A VERY
SUPPORTIVE OF THE COASTAL
COMMISSION'S WORK SO IT'S A MIX
IT'S KIND OF SIMILAR TO CENTER
LAIRD'S DISTRICT. IN THAT
RESPECT AND SO WE WORK HARD
TOGETHER TO GET THE BILL TO A
PLACE WHERE WE'RE BEING
RESPECTFUL OF. LANDOWNERS AND-
AND FOLKS ON THE GROUND AND
INTO COASTAL COMMUNITIES WHILE
ALSO AT THE SAME TIME. HI
MAKING SURE THAT THE- WEEK WE
GIVE THE COASTAL COMMISSION THE
TOOLS IT NEEDS TO ENSURE THAT
THE COST ELECT ISRAEL. THAT THE
PROTECTIONS AND PROVISIONS IN
THE COASTAL ACT THAT CONTINUE

THE STATE. REALLY TREASURED

THE MATTERS BACK BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE OR THE QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS. FROM FEBRUARY BACK IN
FRONT OF THE COMMITTEE FOR
COMMITTEE ACTION QUESTIONS
COMMENTS. CENTER WEISSE. THANK
YOU I JUST WANTED TO ENSURE
THAT WE WERE AGAIN THIS IS
ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE PROGRAMS
THAT WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH
WITH FOR YEARS HERE WHERE-
RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES-
FOR. OR OFFROAD VEHICLES HAVE
BEEN GRADUALLY BEEN REDUCE
REDUCE REDUCE TO THE POINT
THAT- PEOPLE THAT DO WANNA
RECREATE WITH THEIR OFF ROAD
VEHICLES HAVE REALLY KNOW WHERE
TO GO- AND THIS OFTEN LEADS TO-
THE- PEOPLE USING THEIR
VEHICLES ON ON SENSITIVE
HABITAT. AND AGAIN IT TO PUTS
PUTS OUR OUR POLICE RESOURCES
OF OUR THE STATE'S ABILITY TO
REALLY PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
MIX OF JUST MUCH HARDER. OF I
DON'T KNOW THAT I THOUGHT THAT
THIS BILL IS NECESSARILY A
CONCORDE THAT- THE PROCESS OF
THE STATE ENGAGED ELIMINATE
THIS PROGRAM I DON'T KNOW IF IT
REALLY PUT A NUMBER OF PRICE
TAG. ON ON WHAT BURDEN THIS
WOULD PUT ON OUR STATE POLICING
POWERS. AND ENSURING THAT WE
CAN. KEEP PEOPLE OFF OF SURFACE
SENSITIVE HABITAT THAT'S
ALREADY PROBLEM I THINK
ELIMINATING THIS PROGRAM WILL
JUST MAKE IT WORSE. AND I THINK
WE HAVE TO FIND A SENSIBLE AREA.
TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO RECREATE
EVEN IF THE I MEAN THE PAY
THEY'RE PAYING FOR IT UNDER
THIS PROGRAM. IT'LL PROVIDE
AREAS WHERE THEY CAN RECREATE
SAFELY AND IN A WAY IT DOESN'T
DESTROY THE ENVIRONMENT AND SO
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE AREAS I
THINK WE HAVE TO CONTINUE
WORKING ON I APPRECIATE THAT
THIS AUTHORS TAKEN. ON THIS
DIFFICULT ISSUE THERE'S STRONG
ARGUMENTS ON BOTH SIDES BUT I
TEND TO- FALL ON THE SIDE OF.
YOU KNOW THIS LOTS OF PEOPLE ON
THESE VEHICLES THE SOLUTION
SHOULD ALWAYS BE. YOU HAVE TO
GO OUT AND BUY A NEW VEHICLE.
WE HAVE TO FIND WAYS TO
GRADUALLY. MOVE PEOPLE INTO-
CLEANER VEHICLES. IN A WAY THAT
IT DOESN'T PROVIDE A FINANCE A
HUGE HUGE FINANCIAL BURDEN. AND
IT HAS SINCE THAT RULE WOULD
WOULD BRING AN END TO. A RIP
OFF ROAD VEHICLES IN ANY PART
OF THE STATE. AND THEN I THINK
A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL WILL FIGHT
THAT BY BASICALLY RIGHT IN
THEIR VEHICLES ILLEGALLY IN
SENSITIVE HABITAT AND IT'S
GONNA- PROVIDE ENORMOUS COSTS
TO OUR STATE POLICE IN THAT
ACTIVITY AND- WE CAN FIND
COMMON GROUND I THINK THIS BILL
ATTEMPTS TO DO THAT AND- IT'S
PART TO KEEP THIS PROGRAM
GOING. SOMEHOW IN A WAY THAT-
THIS IS- THIS IS A LITTLE MORE
A REASONABLE AS OPPOSED TO JUST
BASICALLY ENDING THE USE AND
REQUIRING PEOPLE TO GO BY THE
NEW VEHICLES AND THEN AND THEN
HAVE TO. I DON'T UNDER THIS
PROGRAM WITH IT WILL WE- EVEN
IF THEY WILL EVEN BE ALLOWED TO
USE THEIR- RECREATIONAL
VEHICLES AND SENSITIVE I MEAN
AND CONTROLLED AREAS BECAUSE-
BASICALLY ELIMINATES PROGRAM SO-
I'M GONNA SPORTIST TODAY FROM
WORK WITH THE AUTHOR TO- SEE IF
WE COULD FIND IF THIS BILL CAN
SOLVE THE CURRENT PROBLEM
FACING OUR STATE. THANK YOU BYE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. THE ON MOST
OF THEN I'LL TAKE THAT AS A
MOTION BOOKMAKER COMMON BEFORE
WE GO TO CLOSE. THE ED- I THINK.
IN ORDER SOME REAL CONCERNS
THAT ARE LEGIT- IS A THE OFF
HIGHWAY MOTOR ARE 20% OF THE
VEHICLES AND- IT SHOULD BE THAT
40% OF THE EMISSIONS AND IF YOU
HAVE A- SOME OF THE- RED
STICKER ONES WITHOUT- THE
EXHAUST ONE MESSAGE IT'S UP TO
TWENTY FIVE TIMES THE EXHAUST
EMISSIONS LIMITS SO. I THINK
THERE'S GENUINE CONCERNS HERE
ADAM ARE THE AUTHOR SAID HE'S
GOING TO MEET WITH
ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS AND
NEXT WEEK SO I THINK WHAT I'M
GOING TO DO IS BE WILLING TO
VOTE TO MOVE THIS BILL ALONE
BUT I REALLY RESERVE THE RIGHT
TO OPPOSE IT AND APPROPRIATIONS
OR THE FLOOR IF SOME OF THOSE
ISSUES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED IN
SOME WAY SATISFACTORY. SO RIVER
MOTION ORDER OTHER COMMENTS
BEFORE I ASK THE AUTHOR TO
CLOSE SENATE- I'M SORRY SENATOR
GROVE. AND SENATOR STERN AFTER
CENTER GROVE. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR AND LIKE TO THINK THE
AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THIS BILL
FORWARD- I KNOW THERE'S A LARGE
COMMUNITY OF THE WHICH THE
OPERATORS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND THEIR LAND AND
THEIR USE OF THE LAND EVEN WITH
THE RED STICKER GREEN STICKER.
ALL THAT STUFF THAT'S BEEN
IMPOSED OVER THE YEARS HAS BEEN
LIMITED AND THERE'S ALSO
ANOTHER PIECE OF LEGISLATION
THAT SET FOR AT CLOSING A- ONE
OF THEIR PARKS- SORRY I KNOW
THEIR FRUSTRATION ESPECIALLY
WHEN THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT
NUMBER OF THESE INDIVIDUALS
THAT- IT'S THEIR HOBBY I GUESS
ARE THERE. AND WHAT THEY DO AND-
ALTHOUGH I DON'T DO IT I KNOW
YOU DO MOTORCYCLES AND STUFF
BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT THESE
GENTLEMEN ARE THESE INDIVIDUALS
WOULD BE DOING- M. DIS AT
WRITING AND WHEN YOU SAY YOU
YOU WEREN'T MEETING SENATOR
EGGMAN YOU MIGHT SENATOR JOHN
KENNEDY SENATOR CHALLENGES.
JUST CLARIFYING THAT ONE YES
NOT. EGGMAN SENATOR JONES. I
SEND A EGGMAN. SHE COULD READ
TO ME IN MY- AND IS SO AT JUST.
THE ON BRING IT FORWARD I DO
HAVE A LOT OF- EACH YEAR. IN MY
JUST THAT REAL ENJOY. EMPIRE
AND REALLY ENJOY THE- BUILT
FOR. CAL SEPT YOU. THANK YOU
FOR MUCH SO STERN. THANK YOU
MISS CHAIR- JUST VERY BRIEFLY I
KNOW YOU GUYS BEEN THE SENATE.
I WAS OVER IN ANOTHER TO PER.
I'M SO WE COULDN'T. RESULT
WHICH SENATOR JONES AND YOUR
BILL HERE- I UNDERSTAND. ARE AT
LIBERTY VOTE IS AS THEY SAY
CHOOSE. I WILL BE OPPOSING THE
BILL- TODAY AND IT'S FORM I'M
REALLY LOOKING FOR TO SEEING IF
THERE'S ANY FRUIT THAT IS BORN
OUT OF- UPCOMING CONVERSATIONS
BEFORE THE FLOOR BUT- I JUST
HAVE SOME FUNDAMENTAL.
PRINCIPLE CONCERNS ABOUT ANY
BILL THAT OVERRIDES A ARBY'S
RULES- FOR- H. REASON
SPECIFICALLY IN THIS- YOU KNOW
WHEN IT WHEN IT COMES TO
EMISSIONS CONTROLS I THINK
THAT'S- THAT'S ONE OF THOSE
INVIOLABLE THINGS THAT WE HAVE
TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT- OVER
WRITING AT BY STATUTE I THINK
THE EXISTING REGULATORY PROCESS
SHOULD BE ABLE TO RESOLVE THAT
SO. UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T BE
THERE TODAY BUT I DO APPRECIATE
YOUR GOOD FAITH ENGAGEMENT
CENTER JONES ON THIS
LEGISLATION. THANK YOU CENTER-
SAYING NO OTHER HANDS UP
SENATOR JOHN YOU MAY CLOSE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR IF I CAN
ADDRESS JUST A COUPLE OF TINGS
THAT THE- OPPOSITION BROUGHT UP
IN A STATEMENT AND AGAIN I'M
LOOKING FORWARD TO OF A
POSITIVE MEETING WITH THEM.
NEXT WEEK WE HAVE CONTINUED TO
OFFER. AMENDMENTS AS THIS HAS
WORKED TO THE PROCESS AND WE
WILL CONTINUE TO BE OPEN TO
THOSE CONVERSATIONS. ONE OF THE
THINGS OPPOSITION CONTINUES TO
SAY THIS IS A AN EXPANDED
PROGRAM AND I UNDERSTAND WHERE
THEY'RE COMING FROM AND THAT.
YOU KNOW CARP HAS ELIMINATED
THIS AND SO NOW KEEPING A GOING
IN AT ANY LEVELS AN EXPANSION
IT ACTUALLY IT'S NOT WERE. WERE
REDUCING THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES
REGISTERED EACH YEAR FROM
SEVENTY FIVE HUNDRED TO FIVE
HUNDRED. AND THOSE
REGISTRATIONS HAVE TO BE FROM
LEGITIMATE- COMPETITIVE. RACERS
THAT ARE ARE PART OF A
LEGITIMATE RACING ORGANIZATION.
AND SO THERE IS SOME-
REGULATION THERE- SPEAKING TO
THE ERROR- QUALITY OF THESE
MORE CYCLES I THINK THE
ARGUMENT WAS MADE THAT- THERE
ANYWHERE FROM ONE AND A HALF
TIMES MORE POLLUTING TO TWO AND
A HALF TIMES MORE POLLUTING
PER. VEHICLE AND I DON'T KNOW
IF THAT'S TRUE OR NOT IT BUT
LET'S ASSUME THAT IT IS- THE
GOOD NEWS ABOUT THIS BILL AGAIN
AS WERE REDUCING THE NUMBER OF
VEHICLES BY 93% SO OVERALL
THERE'S GOING TO BE A NET.
DECREASE IN THE- EMISSIONS FROM
THESE VEHICLES. ARE ONE OF THE
OTHER. ARGUMENTS MADE BY THE
OPPOSITION. THAT I ACTUALLY
SUPPORT I THINK SUPPORTS TO
BILLS IF WE DON'T HAVE A
PROGRAM THEN. THESE FOLKS STILL
HAVE ACCESS TO. PRIVATE LANDS
IN CAN RACE ON PRIVATE LANDS
INTO THE PRACTICE SOME PROBLEMS
RIGHT THAT'S TRUE- BUT ANYMORE
ON REGULATED- ENVIRONMENT AND
THEN WHAT WOULD BE WHAT DOES
THIS BILL ACTUALLY CONTEMPLATES
MORE REGULATION. THAN THAT
SCENARIO CONTEMPLATES IN THAT
THE TO BE REGISTERED IN THIS
NEW PROGRAM THE VEHICLES HAVE
TO SPARK ARRESTORS AFTER
MUFFLERS. YOU KNOW THERE'S
OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT THAT ARE
REQUIRED. AND SO THE GOAL OF
THIS BILL IS ACTUALLY TO
MAINTAIN ACCESS TO PUBLIC LANDS
SO THAT THESE. RACERS AND THESE
COMPETITORS WANT TO HAVE A
VEHICLE THAT IS COMPLIANT WITH
THIS PROGRAM. AND IS ACTUALLY
SAFER THAN IF WE HAVE NO
PROGRAM. SO I'M HOPING THAT
THAT WILL- SPEAK TO SOME THE
OPPOSITION CONCERNS. THIS IS A
MUCH NEEDED REPLACEMENT
REGISTRATION PROGRAM TO ALLOW
THESE OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLE COME
JUST AS TO CONTINUE AGAIN THE
BILL IS NARROWLY CONTENT.
TAILORED WITH ONLY FIVE HUNDRED
REDUCING THE NUMBER OF FIVE
HUNDRED FROM SEVENTY FIVE
HUNDRED AND THEY HAVE TO BE
COMPETITIVE- LEGITIMATE
COMPETITORS AS I STATED BEFORE
SO I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS IN
SUPPORT- I APPRECIATE CHAIRMAN
STEARNS CONCERNS WILL CONTINUE
THE CONVERSATION WITH HIM. IS
APPRECIATE SUBSTITUTE CHAIRMAN

MISTER SHE- MEMBERS. SENATE
BILL FIVE EIGHTY TWO ATTEMPTS
BE. THANK FRAMEWORK TO PUSH US
FORWARD- CALIFORNIA'S LONG
PRIDED ITSELF ON ITS CLIMATE
LEADERSHIP. AND AT THIS MOMENT-
WE'RE AT RISK OF BEING LEFT
BEHIND- ALREADY WE'VE SEEN THE
PRESIDENT COMMIT TO MORE
AGGRESSIVE- TWENTY THIRTY
TARGETS AT JUSTICE FORTY
FRAMEWORK THEY TRULY
PRIORITIZES THE FRONTLINE
COMMUNITIES AS WELL AS A-
MERICAN JOBS PLANNED.
HIGHLIGHTS THE VALUE OF UNION
LABOR IN IN DOING THIS WORK-
THAT'S GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO
BATTLE THE CLIMATE CRISIS.
THERE'S THREE PARTS TO THE
LEGISLATION ONE IS THE
ACCELERATING OUR MITIGATION
PATH OR TRAJECTORY TOWARDS
TWENTY THIRTY- ONE IS THE
CLIMATE. FRAMEWORK IS YOUR
WHICH IS REALLY AT THE HEART OF
THE BILL AND THE THESIS THERE
IS THAT. CARBON NEUTRALITY IS-
SIMPLY NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH
TO AVOID THE MOST EGREGIOUS
INJUSTICES OF CLIMATE CHANGE
THAT IN FACT WE ACTION NEED TO
REVERSE THE EFFECTS IF WE LOCK
IN EVEN BUSINESS AS USUAL
TODAY- OR EVEN THE
CONCENTRATIONS THAT WE
CURRENTLY HAVE. MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE WILL BE IMPACTED
UNJUSTLY FOR POLLUTION THEY
NEVER COST TO THE RESTORATION
FRAMEWORK IS SORT OF THE ANCHOR
PIECE IN THE CENTER AND THEN
LASTLY WE PUT A JUST RESILIENCE
FRAMEWORK TO TRY TO DRIVE. BOTH
STATE FEDERAL AND- OVERALL
PRIORITIZATION- WHEN WE INVEST
IN RESILIENCE IN THE STATE TO
PRIORITIZE THE MOST VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES FIRST AND TO DO
THAT WORK- WITH THE BEST
SKILLED LABOR WE POSSIBLY CAN-
I CAN GO THROUGH SOME OF THE
DAMAGES WITH YOU ALL- I KNOW
WE'VE GOT IT HAD A LONG HEARING
HERE BUT- YOU. DON'T NEED ANY
REMINDERS ABOUT. THE RAVAGES OF
CLIMATE CHANGE WITH YOUR
DISTRICT IS IMPACTED BY THE
DROUGHT- OR BY WILDFIRES OR BY
SEA LEVEL RISE FOR BY FLOOD
RISK OR MAYBE BYALL OF THEM OR
BY EXTREME HEAT- THIS IS A-
MULTI TRILLION DOLLAR. PROBLEM
AND EVEN FOR CALIFORNIA ITSELF
THE PRICE TAG WILL BE
ASTONISHING SO WE HAVE TO GET
MOVING HERE AND- WE REALLY TRY
TO PUT A BILL TOGETHER THAT.
CHALLENGES FOLKS TO GET OUTSIDE
OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE AND COME
TO SOME CONSENSUS- ON WHAT ON
WHAT'S TRULY POSSIBLE- BUT I
JUST WANTED TO NOTE AT THE
OUTSET. YOU KNOW WE'RE WE'RE
TRYING TO INITIATE- A BIGGER
TENTS WITH THIS LEGISLATION AND
TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE CONCERNS
BOTH FROM- THOSE IN FRONTLINE
COMMUNITIES WHO WANT MORE
SPECIFICITY AROUND THE
FRAMEWORK ESPECIALLY AROUND
CARBON REMOVAL. BUT ALSO- FROM
OUR FRIENDS IN ORGANIZED LABOR
AND- INDUSTRY ITSELF WHICH WE
NEED TO HAVE TRULY IS PARTNERS
HERE- I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING
TO RUN OVER THE CORPORATION'S A
CALIFORNIA AND SOLVE CRIME IN
THE PROCESS WE TRULY NEED.
PARTNERSHIP SO WE'RE WE'RE
COMMITTED TO TRYING TO FIND
THAT CONSENSUS- IN THIS
LEGISLATION AND YOU KNOW THE
BIGGEST CONCERN I HAVE RIGHT
NOW AND THE REASON- WE'RE
MOVING THE BILL TODAY- AND NOT
SORT OF SLOWING DOWN AT LEAST.
FOR THE MOMENT- IN MAKING THIS
A TO YOUR BILL- BUT INSTEAD
GETTING INTO APPROPRIATIONS
WHERE WE CAN- SEE WHERE THINGS
STAND. BUT IF WE DEFERRED THIS
THORNY TO THE ADMINISTRATION
RIGHT NOW TO DEVELOP THE NEXT
PHASES SCOPING PLAN OR TO PUT
TOGETHER THE- THE FRAMEWORK FOR
INVESTMENT IN RESILIENCE- AT
AND THE CARBON REMOVAL
FRAMEWORK FRANKLY. THERE WERE
DIFFERING. REALLY IMPORTANT
PUBLIC POLICY MAKING AUTHORITY-
AT I THINK THE- OUGHT TO HAVE
IT'S HERE IN THAT. NOW IF THAT
COMES TOGETHER BEFORE TE FLOOR
I'M I'M NOT SURE AND WE'RE NOT
GOING TO BRING YOU SOMETHING-
TO THE FLOOR THAT DOESN'T HAVE
THAT BIG TENT CONSENSUS SO IF
WE CAN'T REACH THAT- WE'RE NOT
GOING TO. PUSH THE ENVELOPE TOO
FAR BUT I ACTUALLY I THINK
WE'VE GOT A SHOT HERE SO- WITH
THAT I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS AND RESPECTFULLY
ASK RIVAL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

WE'RE GOING TO BRING THE MATTER
BACK BEFORE THE COMMITTEE I'M
GONNA TAKE THE LIBERTY OF. JUST
MAKING A BRIEF STATEMENT TO
FRAME THIS BILL IT WAS
MENTIONED IN THE SANTA CRUZ
MOUNTAINS CALTRANS DID A JOB.
WHERE ON WITTINGLY THEY CLOSED
A CORRUGATED PIPE UNDER THE
FREEWAY. AS A RESULT THEY
DIDN'T KNOW THAT THAT WAS THE
MOUNTAIN LINE CROSSING HAS
RESOLVED MOUNT POINTS HAVE COME
OVER THE TOP. BEEN KILLED THERE
ARE THREATENING MOTORISTS AND
THE MOUNTAIN LIONS AND SO IN
TWENTY SEVENTEEN WE NEGOTIATED
A SPECIAL SITUATION. A WITH
CALTRANS TURNS OUT THAT THE
MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS
REQUIRED THE ANIMALS TO BE
ENDANGERED. NOT THREATENED THAT
WAY BUT ENDANGERED SO WE RE
WROTE THE DEFINITION IN THAT
INSTANCE THE NEGOTIATED WITH
THE LAND TRUST AND CALTRANS.
AND BROUGHT FUNDING AND THERE
WILL BE A- CROSSING CONSTRUCTED
THERE UNDER OR OVER AT SOME
POINT. SO WHAT THIS BILL DOES
IS ATTEMPT TO TAKE WHAT WAS
NEGOTIATED THERE AND WORK TO
EXTEND IT TO THE REST OF THE
STATE AS THE ANALYSIS SAYS IT'S
A WORK IN PROGRESS. AND I THINK
THE QUESTIONS OF FUNDING AND
THERE'S QUESTIONS OF HOW TO DO
IT BUT- I'D MEYER AND
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR FOR
TAKING THIS ON. AND I THINK WE
NEED TO MOVE THE BILL ALONG AND
GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO CONTINUE
TO FLESH THIS OUT AND THAT WAS
SUPPORTED BY THE- THE TESTIMONY
SO I WILL SUPPORT THIS BILL ARE
THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THE-
OF THE COMMITTEE. ASSEMBLY-
STRUCTURE ON THE- I JUST SIMPLY
I THINK THIS IS A PRUDENT

SAD THAT. THEY SHOULD BE
