STATED I'M I'M I'M GOING TO MY
COLLEAGUES AND WE'RE HAPPY TO
RESPOND TO ANY OF THE COMMITTEE
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU MISLI
REALLY APPRECIATED- YOU DID
THAT IN RECORD TIME- I IMAGINE
THAT MY `LEAGUES
QUESTION OR TWO. SO LET ME SEE
YES SENATOR LAYER GO AHEAD.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- MADAM
CHAIR- EVEN THOUGH I'VE STUDIED
THESE WHERE SOME THINGS ARE
STILL CONFUSING BECAUSE THE
WATER RESILIENCE SEASON ONE BUT
THE THREE YEAR DROUGHT PACKAGES
IN ANOTHER I THINK IT'S IN ONE
FIFTY FIVE THEN MY QUESTION FOR
FINANCES. THAT THE DROUGHT
HAPPENS TO BE RIGHT NOW BUT THE
DROP MONEY IS A YEAR FROM NOW.
AND THERE ARE VARIOUS PROJECTS
THAT WERE CONTEMPLATED. SUCH AS
THE ONE I REFERENCE THIS
MORNING IN ANOTHER MEETING. THE
THERE ARE TWO HUGE RESERVOIRS
IN SOUTHERN MONTEREY COUNTY- I
THINK IT'S A HUNDRED DIST.
BETWEEN THEM A 1-001-005-0000
ACRE FEET AND ONE'S AT 9% ONCE
AT 14% AND THE VALVES AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE RESERVOIRS ARE
BROKEN THAT IS A DROUGHT PACKED
THAT IS A DROUGHT PROJECT BUT
THIS MONEY COULDN'T BE ACCESSED
FOR TWELVE MONTHS. AND
THEREFORE. MR MAGUIRE'S
DISTRICT HAS FORT BRAGG IN
MENDOCINO THEIR PLACES
THROUGHOUT THE CENTRAL COAST
THAT AREN'T ON THE DELTA THAT
HAVE THIS AND YET THE MONEY IS
A YEAR AWAY. MY QUESTION IS IF
THE CRISIS CONTINUES TO BE A
CUTE. FOR THE FINANCE
DEPARTMENT CONSIDERED
DEFICIENCY LETTER OR SOMETHING
THAT ALLOWS THIS MONEY TO BE
USED FOR THE CRISIS THAT WE'RE
FACING NOW. BUT ISN'T BUDGETED
FOR A YEAR FROM NOW. THANK YOU
FOR THAT QUESTION I MEAN I
WOULD JUST NOTE THAT THERE IS
MULTIPLE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
CURRENT YEAR AS WELL AS THE OUT
YEARS BUT I WILL TURN THIS
QUESTION OVER TO MY COLLEAGUES-
SERGIO ANGULAR. MORE DETAILS IN
REGARDS TO THE SPECIFIC PART OF
FINDING YOUR YOUR- ASKING ABOUT.
IT SURE NUMBER THIRTY- I GO
WITH THE PART OF FINANCE WHICH
IS THAT THE CLARIFY SO THE
WATER IS GOING TO DROP OFF
PACKAGES ABOUT FIVE POINT TWO
BILLION DOLLARS. IN TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWO THERE'S THREE POINT
FIVE BILLION DOLLARS A LITTLE
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY IS
ACTUALLY PROGRAM IN TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWO. AND- SO WE
STRATEGICALLY PROGRAM THE
DOLLARS WHERE- THE MAJORITY
GOOD DROUGHT TOLERANCE UP
ALREADY AND IN THE TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWO BUDGET. NOW ONE OF
THE NUMBER THAT WE ADDED IN THE
JUNE BUDGET WE HAD A CONTROL
SECTION- THAT ALL RIGHT THAT
ADDITIONAL TWENTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS- FOR UNANTICIPATED
DROUGHT EMERGENCY. SO WE HAVE
SIMILAR TO LIKE A SUPPLEMENTAL
APPROPRIATION BUT THAT WAS
ACTUALLY GET CALLED OUT WITHIN
THE JUNE BUDGET FOR THAT
INITIAL TWENTY FIVE MILLION SO.
THEY CAN THEY'RE NEEDED THERE'S
ADDITIONAL. FUNDING WE CAN TAP
INTO THEIR CLASS JUST
CLARIFYING IT ABOUT THREE POINT
FIVE BILLION THAT WE DID
PROGRAM- FOR TWENTY ONE TWENTY
TWO. NOT NOT SURE WHICH
SPECIFIC PART OF FUNDING YOU'RE
REFERENCING BUT THERE IS A- AS
A POTENTIAL MAIL A PROGRAM- BUT
I. LOOKED AT THE BREAK DOWN OF
THE DEFERRED PROGRAMS THAT WERE
LISTED I DON'T HAVE IT RIGHT IN
FRONT OF ME RIGHT NOW IT'S IN
ONE OF THESE. THEN IT FOR LOTS
OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT MIGHT
BE. OF THE GROUNDWATER
MANAGEMENT ACT THE THERE'S A
WHOLE HOST OF THINGS THAT ARE
IN THAT BUT TARGETED TOWARD THE
DROUGHT EMERGENCY SEEMS VERY
NARROW. THERE WAS A SPECIFIC
ITEM. THAT HAPPENED TO DO A
CENTRAL COAST DROP RESILIENCY
THAT GOT PUT IN THE OUT YEAR.
END AND SO WHAT I'M DRIVING AT.
IS I MEAN THERE'S AN INJECTION
WELL AT WATER RECYCLING IN
MONTEREY WHERE THERE. REALLY
STUCK IN THE STATE IS ABOUT TO
ORDER THEM TO CUT MORE. ARE
THEY COULD GET MORE WATER THEY
COULD UPGRADE WELLS IN SANTA
CRUZ THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO
GET MORE WATER. THE BIG. BASIN
FIRE. DIST DESTROYED THE WAR
ALONG FOR BIG BASS WATER. IN
THOSE PEOPLE TO REBUILD OR
THEIR ARE ABOUT OF ONE AND
THERE'S A PART CAN. THAT NEEDS
TO GO THERE'S THE VALVES IN THE
PROJECTS THAT- IF THE SALINAS
RIVER AND THE RED. ARE WAS JUST
REFER TO. AND YOU LOOK AT THESE
HEIGHTS. YOU HAVE NO WISH. THE
DOES COME OF PROUD. APPLY FOR
TWO AND YET THEY'RE GOING TO
RUN OUT A WALL. AND SO WHAT I'M
LOOKING AT IS NOT THAT THERE'S
A LOT OF MONEY THERE FOR A LOT
OF DIFFERENT LINE ITEMS TELL ME
HOW IT'S GOING TO BE REDIRECTED
TO THE DROUGHT AND MEET THE
NEEDS THAT ARE. THAT ARE URGENT
AND GOING ON RIGHT NOW. YEAH
IT'S ALL JUST GOING TO A FEW
SPECIFIC POP THE FUNDING THAT
WE DO HAVE A TWENTY ONE TWENTY
TWO. FOR DROUGHT EARLIER THIS
YEAR WE DID FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS- PER SMALLER
SUPPLIERS- AND URBAN WHILE
WATER MAGIC GRANTS.
SPECIFICALLY TO FOCUS PURELY ON
VALUE ISSUES. ON SIGMA WITH THE
MONEY WE'RE ADDING NOW AND THE
JUNE BUDGET THAT'S A HUNDRED
AND EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS IN
TWENTY ONE TWENTY. FIVE YOU
COULD LIVE A CORE- SIGMA GRAFT-
SWEEP IN ANOTHER PROGRAM WHICH
WE KNOW ALSO HELPS- DURING
DROUGHT ESPECIALLY AND FORMER
SIDE. SO THAT'S UP FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS IN TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWO SO. WE CAN. KIND OF
SHOW YOU A BREAKDOWN OF ALL THE
TWENTY ONE NO. I GET SOME OF
THAT BREAK DOWN I MEAN I
HAPPENED TO BE IN THE CABINET
WHEN SIGNAL WAS ADOPTED CIGNA
IS IT NECESSARILY A DRAFT
PROGRAM. I STRONGLY SUPPORTED
ONE WHAT'S IN THERE BUT- BUT-
THE RECYCLING IF. IT WERE- AND
THERE WAS ONE OTHER ISSUE THAT.
OUR RISK RAISE CENTER WHITE
HOUSE IS SPEAKING MY YEAR.
WHICH IS THE THING THAT
PROVIDES WATER IN AN EMERGENCY
QUICKER THAN ANYTHING ELSE IS A
WATER RECYCLING. AND WHEN THE
WATER BOND WAS ADOPTED IN
TWENTY FOURTEEN. ARE THERE WAS
EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY I
BELIEVE MILLION DOLLARS-
SUBSCRIBE IMMEDIATELY ACROSS
THE STATE. AND IT PROVIDES
WATER. IN IT IN A VERY. A
DISPERSED MANNER ALL ACROSS THE
STATE IS IN. D. NEGOTIATIONS
ARE LET GO SHE ASIANS BUT THE
NUMBER GOT DROPPED AND THEN.
THERE IS ONE THING THAT WOULD
PROVIDE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
WATER AND IT IS NOT THE
FEATURED IN A MAJOR WAY IN THIS
AND SO- I'M COGNIZANT OF THE
FACT THIS IS A DEAL. IT'S DONE.
HOME OR PASS THE AMENDMENT
DEADLINE BUT THESE ARE NEEDS
THAT ARE REAL AND ARE GOING
AWAY AND SO- I DON'T THINK ANY
OF THE SIGMA MONEY'S GOING TO
GO TO DROUGHT RELIEF. BUT SO I
JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE
CAN WORK ON THIS AND THAT
THERE'S SOME KIND OF.
COMMITMENT THAT IF ALL THESE
ARE IN CATEGORIES THAT DON'T
WORK FOR WATER DISTRICTS ACROSS
THE STATE. OR CITIES OR
COUNTIES THAT ARE RUNNING OUT
OF WATER. THERE'S A COMMITMENT
TO WORK WITH THE LEGISLATURE
AND WORK WITH THE DISTRICTS AND
DO A DEFICIENCY LETTER OR
WHATEVER IT TAKES. BECAUSE I
KNOW SOME OF IT THAT WAS MOST
IMPORTANT TO ME GOT PUT ME OUT
OF HERE WHEN THE DROUGHT IS NOW
AND THAT'S THE THING THAT
TRIGGERED THIS. BUT BUT IT'S
JUST I'M LOOKING FOR. A DESIRE
TO WORK TOGETHER BECAUSE PEOPLE
IF WHAT I THINK YOU KNOW WE'RE
NOT GONNA RAIN STORM THAT'S
REMOTELY SIGNIFICANT TILL
NOVEMBER COULD BE DECEMBER. AND
PEOPLE OR IT'S JUST GOING TO
GET PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. AND
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE NEEDS NOW
AND IT HITS LOWER INCOME MORE
REMOTE COMMUNITIES FIRST. AND
THAT IS JUST GOING TO BE AN
ISSUE SO I'VE SAID MY PIECE.
BUT I'M GONNA BE LOOKING. FOR
COOPERATE ON THIS PATH IF WE
MOVE INTO THIS AND PEOPLE NEED
HELP. THE PARDON ME CALL AND-
ARE VERY SURE SENATOR NIELSEN
AND- SENATOR GROVE. THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR DIRECTED TO FINANCE.
MY COLLEAGUE. FROM THE SANTA
CLARA VALLEY WAS JUST ASKING A
NUMBER OF QUESTIONS THAT ARE
APPLICABLE AND I DON'T THINK
WE'VE GOT THOSE ANSWERED THUS
FAR SPECIFICALLY ENOUGH. WHAT
THE LEGISLATURE NEEDS TO KNOW
FOR SURE FROM FINANCE FROM THE
GOVERNOR IS THAT AS WE THEN
AFTER THE BUDGET. THAT DOES
WONDERS WILL BE TIMELY EXPANDED.
A INVESTIGATION DONE BY. PBS A
LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO
DISCLOSED THAT SUBSTANTIAL
DOLLARS THAT THE LEGISLATURE
PUT IN THE BUDGET FOR WILDLAND
MANAGEMENT. FIRE PREVENTION WAS
NOT SPENT. WITH WITH HEALTH.
AND I'M CURIOUS AS TO WHO THE
AUTHORITY WAS THAT MADE THAT
DETERMINATION. BUT THEN WE HAD
SOME INSIGHT EARLY THIS YEAR AS
THE BUDGET WAS SUBMITTED. SOME
FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.
WAS DIRECTED FOR THESE PURPOSES
FOR SOMEONE OF LAND MANAGEMENT
TO PREVENT THESE CATACLYSMIC
FIRES. HOWEVER THE CABINET IN
THE LANGUAGE ACTUALLY SAID.
THAT IT HAD TO BE DETERMINED AS
NEEDED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE. NOW I'D- BEEN LED TO
UNDERSTAND SUCH LANGUAGE IS NO
LONGER IN THE BUDGET DIRECTOR
OF FINANCE IS THERE ANY
LANGUAGE. IN THE BUDGET. THAT
WOULD ALLOW THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE OR ANYTHING AND
EXECUTIVE BRANCH TO THE
RESOURCES AGENCY TO NOT EXPAND
THE DOLLARS THAT WE HAVE THEN
APPROPRIATED. AND PROVIDED FOR
IN THE BUDGET IS THERE ANY
LANGUAGE THAT GIVES THE
ADMINISTRATION THAT DISCRETION-
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION
CENTER IN THE US AND I'LL TURN
THAT OVER TO SERGIO REGULAR FOR
SOME DETAILS. IF THEY'RE
GENERALLY PART OF FINANCE- SO
YOU'RE PREGNANT EARLIER THIS
YEAR THAT WAS- THE THOUGHT THAT
WE HAVE OR WE WERE PRETTY SEVEN
TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO. AND THEN
WE WOULD PROVIDE THE TWENTY
TWENTY TO TWENTY THREE WITH
AUTHORITY TO ACCELERATE.
HOWEVER IN THIS BUDGET I WILL
PRESENT TO YOU NOW WE'RE
ACTUALLY APPROPRIATING THE
ENTIRE AMOUNT TWENTY ONE TWENTY
TWO. FOUR NINE HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS IN
THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. AND
THERE IS NO. ADDITIONAL
AUTHORITY THAT WE HAVE TO THE
MOVE THAT BACK- WITHOUT ANY
KIND OF FUTURE LEGISLATION. AND
SO THAT THAT- KIND OF- KIND OF
THOUGHT THAT WE HAD BACK IN
JUNE. IF. NOT WE'LL MOVE
FORWARD WITH ITS BUDGET. WELL
THAT THAT CERTAINLY IS HELPFUL
SIR AND- I KNOW WE ALL WILL
APPRECIATE THAT. SOMEWHAT OF A
CONCERN THEN IS THAT THIS
BUDGET IS PROVIDING MONEY OVER
SEVERAL YEARS. AND THE LACK OF
SPECIFICITY IS OF CONCERN. SO
HOW WILL THIS BE MONITORED AND
REPORTED TO THE LEGISLATURE I
DON'T WANT I WOULD COME BACK
NEXT YEAR AS THE BUDGET IS
SUBMITTED AND SAY WELL THIS IS
WHERE WE'RE AT NOW THIS IS HOW
MUCH WE SPENT. WE NEED TO HAVE
SOME REGULAR UPDATING OF THE
EXPENDITURES IN THE ABORTION
MUCH AROUND CALIFORNIA TO THESE
NECESSARY PROJECT WHICH MY
COLLEAGUE FROM THE SANTA CLARA
VALLEY JUST OUTLINED A NUMBER
OF IN THE AREA THAT HE-
REPRESENTS AND INDEED THE POST.
AND OTHER SENATORS FROM THE
NORTH IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY
THEY HAVE THEIR OFFICES WELL WE
NEED TO KNOW THAT THOSE ARE
BEING ATTENDED. TO WHAT
ASSURANCE CAN YOU GIVE US THE
MONEY THAT WE WOULD VOTE AND
THIS BUDGET. IS ACTUALLY GOING
TO BE TIMELY LED OUT. INTO THE
COMMUNITIES AND I SEE THAT WE
DO HAVE SOME SPECIFIC THAT
SPECIFIC. PURPOSES OR ENTITIES
THAT MONIES CAN GO TO. BUT HOW
WOULD YOU KEEP TRACK OF THAT
AND REPORT IT TO THE
LEGISLATURE. A THIRD PARTY
FINANCE SO SPECIFICALLY ON THE
WILDFIRE AND FOR RELIEF
PACKAGE. WE ACTUALLY HAVE-
CREDIBLE LANGUAGE I WAS
INCLUDED THAT- MANDATES ANNUAL
REPORTING- FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION TO THE
LEGISLATURE- ON ALL OF THE WALL
PART BENCHERS. AS A PART OF
THAT THERE WILL BE ANY
REPORTING OVER I BELIEVE THAT
THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. WATCH THE
TRAILER BILL AUTHORIZED. THERE
ARE A NUMBER OF COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA THAT ARE
LITERALLY OUT OF WATER. IS
MONEY HAVE PROVIDED HERE TO ALL
THE S. TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
MONEY OF MONEY FOR. WATER TO BE
DELIVERED POTABLE WATER TO SOME
OF THESE COMMUNITIES SO THEY
CAN JUST LITERALLY SURVIVE.
WE'VE BEEN HAVING THE KIND OF
FACILITATE IN OUR OWN DISTRICTS
DOWN EXCHANGES OF WATERFORD
CITY I'VE GOT GROOVE ONE CITY
TO ANOTHER CITY. WHAT WHAT'S
THE PROVISIONS IN THE BUDGET
AND THE INTENT OF FINANCE TO
ENSURE THAT MONIES THAT ARE
NEEDED JUST FOR LIVING. ARE
GOING TO BE DIRECTED TIMELY.
THROUGH AND THROUGH OUR AGENCY
WHAT DEPARTMENT WOULD IT BE-
YES. HELLO AGAIN SIR JOHN NEVER
PART OF FINANCE- THERE'S A
COUPLE DEPARTMENT THAT COULD
POTENTIALLY- PROVIDE SUPPORT
THERE AND WE ACTUALLY DID
INCLUDE FUNDING AND- THAT THEY
WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
BUDGET FOR EMERGENCY DRINKING
WATER NEEDS- AND THEN I SPOKE
TO A LITTLE BIT EARLIER ON. A
CONTROLLED SECTION THAT WE DID
ADD AND- DATES JUNE BUDGET THAT
PROVIDED ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY
FOR THESE TYPES OF EMERGENCY
DRINKING WATER NEEDS AND
CALLAWAY HAS ALSO DOES PLAY A
ROLE- AND- ALSO THROUGH CDA
WHICH THEY COULD AUTHORIZE FOR
SOME OF THE- EMERGENCY DRINKING
WATER NEEDS THAT SO THERE'S
KIND OF MULTIPLE- VENUES AND
DEPARTMENT. THAT. BECAUSE THE
POOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES OR NEED.
THE WILD FIRES ARE OCCURRING
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA. NORTH
SOUTHEAST WEST THE VALLEYS. IT
ISN'T JUST THE NORTH AND THE
SOUTH- BURNING WHEN THE SANTA
ANA WINDS BLOW OR WHEN WE HAVE
THESE HEAVY FIRES UP IN THE
NORTH. SO. WHAT F. WHAT'S YOUR
BUDGET AND MAYBE ONE SEVENTY.
AND IT SAYS THE GOAL IS TO
TREAT FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
ACRES A YEAR. WELL HAS THE
RESOURCES AGENCY PROVIDED A
SCHEDULE. AND I KNOW SOME OF
OUR MEMBERS ONE OF MY
COLLEAGUES IN THE ADJACENT
DISTRICT IN THE NORTH HAS DONE
A LOT OF INVENTORYING WORK OF
FOUR SHOVEL READY PROJECTS. THE
RESOURCES AGENCY. HAVE THEY
DONE THAT AS WELL. IDENTIFIED
THE NECESSARY AND HIGHEST
PRIORITY PROJECTS FOR MONIES TO
BE DIRECTED TO FOR A WHILE AND
MANAGEMENT. SO WHAT THEY ARE
ALTHOUGH THE COUPLE THINGS AS
FAR AS THE EARLY ACTION PACKAGE
THAT- WE PASSED EARLIER THIS
YEAR WE'VE ACTUALLY WARDED- 85%
OF THAT FUNDING WE HAVE PROJECT
LISTS. THAT WE HAVE THAT WE
COULD SHARE OF ALL THE
DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT WERE
HIGH PRIORITY BACK RECEIVED
FUNDING UNDER THAT- AND AS PART
OF THIS ADDITIONAL AUGMENTATION
WE'RE PROVIDING THAT NINE
HUNDRED EIGHTY EIGHT MILLION
DOLLARS- I THINK THAT
PERSPECTIVE THAT WE HAVE IS. TO
DO LARGER MORAL LANDSCAPE SCALE
TYPE PROJECTS- THAT COULD
PROVIDE FUNDING TO THE SUPPORT
OF THAT PROJECT FOR A FOR A
COUPLE YEARS AND SO I KNOW
THAT- YOU KNOW CAL FIRE AND-
AND MYSTERY AGENCIES- WORK WITH-WITH THE REGION'S WORK WITH THE
LOCALS. WHO YOU KNOW ARE
PRINTING OTHER PLANS TO
IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF
PROJECTS AND PART OF THE
FUNDING THAT WE HAVE HERE IS
ALSO FOR A PROGRAM THAT IS PART
OF CONSERVATION RUNS. TO
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR
LOCALS TO DEVELOP THOSE A
PIPELINE OF PROJECTS AND SO YOU
KNOW STATEWIDE APPROACH
ORIGINALLY LEAD SO I THINK
THAT'S THAT'S A BIG ASPECT OF
THIS. RULE THAT WE HAVE. WELL
LAST. QUESTION THEN FOR THE
MOMENT. THE MANY THAT HAVE BEEN
SO DECIMATED. IN PAST DISASTERS
AND I'M THINKING PARTICULAR
PARADISE OR IN FACT THE ORVILLE
DAM SPILLWAY FAILURE. AGENCIES
HAVE COME TO THE HELP OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENT. THE STATE WAS
PARTICULARLY HELPFUL TO
PARADISE. AT LEAST AT THE FRONT
END. ARE YOU POKER SING ON
THOSE MOST NEEDED AND TIRES
PRIORITY AREAS THAT NEED SOME
HELP TO ALLOW THE CITIZENS TO
REESTABLISH THEIR COMMUNITIES
THEIR OWN LIVELIHOODS AND HOMES.
I MEAN IF I GET THAT QUESTION
OVER T SERGIO- FOR FURTHER
DETAILS. I THINK YOU IF YOU
EVER THINK THAT TYPE OF PROJECT
THAT WE WOULD FIND UNDER THE
UNDER THE ESTOPPEL WE ARE
FOCUSED ON KIND OF MORE OF
THOSE YOU KNOW HI I'M FIRE RISK
AREAS AFTER THAT IS- ONE OF THE
KEY FOCUSES OF. THE CRITERIA
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE GRAPH
OF PROGRAMS WITH MR. I WOULD
THEN ASK. THE MANAGER I'LL-
DEFER AFTER THIS QUESTION. THE
TOP KIND OF A LITTLE BIT AGO
ABOUT MAYBE HAVING A SCHEDULE
OF THINGS THAT YOU WERE GOING
TO BE SPENDING MONEY ON. COULD
YOU MAKE A COMMITMENT TO THE
LEGISLATORS THAT YOU WOULD
KINDLY PROFFERED THOSE
DOCUMENTS OF YOUR PRIORITIES TO
THE LEGISLATURE SO THAT WE AT
LEAST COULD THEN REVIEW THEM
AND- HAVE OUR INPUT. AS TO WHAT
WE THINK BOTH PRIORITY SHOULD
BE. BUT I THINK IF YOU'RE GOING
BACK TO MY EARLIER COMMENT
WHERE A PART OF THIS PRINTER
BILL ACTUALLY REQUIRES US TO
REPORT ANNUALLY ON ALL THE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROJECTS- TO
THE LEGISLATURE THAT WE ARE
FUNDING WITH. SOME OF THE
PROJECTS- AND JUST SOME SOME OF
THE OUTCOMES AND SO THAT WILL
BE PART OF OUR ANNUAL REPORTING
TO THE LEGISLATURE WHERE YOU
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE
TO VIEW- ALL THE DIFFERENT
PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING
AWARDED- WITHIN THIS PACKAGE.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. THANK
YOU SENATOR NELSON LET MELIST
TOO I HAVE HERE I HAVE A CENTER
GROVE SENATOR DOLLY SENATOR COM
LOCKER SENATOR DRAWS SO.
SENATOR IN. NASSERITE CASKEY.
K. WORKERS CAME IN OKAY.
SENATOR GROSS THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR I DO- OKAY I'LL KEEP MY
QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS BRIEF
BECAUSE I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT
OF MY ACCEPT THEM BUT I DO HAVE
SEVERAL QUESTIONS AND I
APOLOGIZE FOR HAVING A FIVE.
BUT AN EIGHTY ONE SEVENTY THE
WILDFIRE FUNDING EITHER FOR THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE FOR THE
L. A. L. IN OUR FIRST OUR
FORESTS ARE BURNING UP ALL
AROUND US AND IT'S EVIDENT THAT
STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS
AND- NEED TO DO A LOT MORE TO
PREVENT WILDFIRE LAND
MANAGEMENT THINGS LIKE THAT. AS
A STATE WE HAVE A GOAL TO TREAT
ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
ACRES PER YEAR AND HOW MANY
ACRES DO YOU ESTIMATE CAN BE
TREATED WITH THE FUNDS PROVIDED
IN THIS BUDGET I'M JUST YOU
KNOW I DON'T. WE DON'T SEE
BILLS LIKE HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO
TREAT THESE ACRES AND SERVE
DOES ANYBODY HAVE AN IDEA- HOW
MUCH OF A- IT WILL COST TO
TREAT THESE FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND ACRES AND IS THERE
ENOUGH MONEY IN THE BUDGET FOR
THAT. THANK YOU SENATOR GROVER
THAT QUESTION- I'LL TURN IT
OVER TO BECOME MORE OR RESPOND.
I DON'T WANT TO PUT IN A
FINANCE THANKS FOR THE
QUESTION- UNFORTUNATELY THAT
THAT GOOGLE THE ACRES IT'S HARD
TO PREDICT BECAUSE SO MUCH OF
THAT GOING OUT IN- GRANT
DOLLARS BUT I CAN ASSURE THAT-
IN. TWENTY NINETEEN TWENTY WE
DIFFERENT INITIAL NUMBERS IN
BETWEEN A HUNDRED AND FIVE
THOUSAND ACRES. I WE DON'T YET
HAVE TWENTY TWENTY ONE BUT WE
EXPECTED TO INCREASE
DRAMATICALLY BUT THE EARLY
ACTION PLANS THAT JUST CAME IN
AND THEN INCREASE FROM THERE
WITH THIS ADDITIONAL FUNDING-
OKAY. THANK YOU M. AN ON AGAIN
ON EIGHTY ONE SEVENTY AT GIVEN
THE STATE'S COMMITMENT TO A
100% CLEAN ENERGY BY TWENTY
FORTY FIVE THERE WAS FOUR
MILLION DOLLARS A ONE TIME
EXPENDITURES IN THE BUDGET THAT
WE HAD IN JUNE AND- I THINK WE
DID THAT OR AT LEAST IT WAS MY
UNDERSTANDING WE DID THAT
BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE
DO THINGS LIKE THIS- IT CAUSES
OUR RATES FOR CALIFORNIANS
UNDER UTILITY BILLS TO GO UP
THERE'S ADDITIONAL COST AND
RATE PAYERS. THIS FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS WOULD HAVE
ELIMINATED SOME OF THAT FOR
RATE PAYERS THAT PAY THE
HIGHEST UTILITYRATES- ALMOST
IN THE NATION AND- I NOTICED
THAT MANY IS GONE NOW THAT THIS
BUDGET TROLL DELETES THAT
FUNDING IS THERE. A REASON FOR
THAT. SENATOR GROPED FOUR
HUNDRED MILLION FOR. WHAT WAS
THAT- THE ITEM. AND IT WAS IN
EIGHTY ONE SEVENTEEN IT WAS ONE
TIME GENERAL FUND WHICH
INCLUDED THE JUNE BUDGET FOR
CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS- SEEM
LIKE A PRUDENT INVESTMENT BUT
THAT MANY IS NOW GONE. WITH
THIS BUDGET TRAILER BILL SO I
WAS JUST CURIOUS WHY. AND
NUMBER AFTER. FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION FOR CLIMATE ADAPTATION
PROJECTS. MMHM OKAY- IF THAT
WAS PART OF THE TRANSPORTATION-
PACKAGE THAT WAS PART OF THE
JUNE- DEAL HOWEVER IT WAS
CONTINGENT ON AN ALLOCATION
SCHEDULE BEING PROVIDED BY THE
LEGISLATURE BY OCTOBER TENTH-
AND IF THERE IS NO LEGISLATION
ENACTED THOSE FUNDS WILL REVERT
BACK SO THAT WAS PART OF A
BROADER. TRANSPORTATION
PACKAGE- THAT IS STILL UNDER
DISCUSSION SO DISCUSSIONS ARE
SURROUND SURROUNDING- HIGH
PRIORITY TRANSPORTATION
PROJECTS ARE STILL UNDER WAY
AND HOPE TO COME BACK TO THAT
IN JANUARY. THANK YOU MA'AM
THANK YOU FOR THAT RESPONSE AND
ANOTHER QUESTION I HAD AN
EIGHTY ONE SEVENTY AS WELL THE
BUDGET BILL JUNIOR IS COVERT
NINETEEN TESTING HOW THE EIGHT
HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO MILLION
DOLLARS IN FEDERAL FUNDING- FOR
SCHOOL BASEMENT COVERED
NINETEEN TESTING BE ALLOCATED.
O BASED ON SCHOOL POPULATION
IS THERE A FORMULA IS IT JUST
GOING TO GO TO CERTAIN
COUNTIES- YEAH THANK YOU FOR
THAT QUESTION I'M GONNA TURN IT
OVER TO ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES IN
EDUCATION UNIT FOR SOME MORE
DETAILS. THANK YOU. HI THIS IS
WHAT I LOOK FOR MONDAY GUESS
WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
THIS IS PROBABLY A- A
CALIFORNIA. DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH QUESTION- SO THE
EIGHT HUNDRED AND EIGHTY SEVEN
MILLION- THAT SAYING. HE WON
SEVENTY IS FOR- KOBE TESTING IN
SCHOOLS AND SO THIS FUNDING HAS
ALREADY BEEN MADE AVAILABLE TO-
ALL SCHOOLS AS OF THIS SPRING
OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE- SO. THE
SCHOOLS HAVE TO- TAKE SOME-
THEY HAVE TO TAKE SOME A FEW
STEPS TO BE ABLE TO- ACCESS THE
FUNDING BUT- IT HAS BEEN MADE
AVAILABLE TO ALL HAVE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS CHARTER SCHOOLS- AS
WELL AS PRIVATE SCHOOLS. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT
INFORMATION ON AB ONE SEVENTY
ONE I THINK THIS WOULD BE HIS
HEALTH FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE AND- WHICH ENTITY WILL
DO THE INDEPENDENT NETWORK-
ADEQUACY ANALYSIS ON INTEGRATED
HOUSING SUPPORT SERVICES INTO
MEDIC COW. THANK YOU SENATOR
THAT'S ALSO A QUESTION OUT FOR
ME AGAIN WHEN I LOOK AT MY
TICKETS BUT THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE SO THE EVALUATION THAT
YOUR- QUESTION IS ABOUT WILL BE
CONDUCTED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH CARE SERVICES. OKAY
THANK YOU AND MY LAST QUESTION
IS ON AB ONE SIXTY TO THE
COMMUNITY ECONOMIC RESILIENCE
FUND GRANT CRITERIA- I'M JUST
CURIOUS WHO DETERMINES HOW OR
WHO IS DISPROPORTIONATELY
AFFECTED BY COVERT NINETEEN
MEANS AND WHO'S ELIGIBLE FOR
THE GRANTS WHO DETERMINES THAT
I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING IN THE
LANGUAGE THAT. NAMES I AM. AN
IDIOT COMMITTEE A AGENTS FROM
SO JUST CURIOUS. THANK YOU FOR
THAT- CENTER GROVE I KNOW THAT
YOU'VE BEEN PARTICULARLY
INTERESTED IN THIS FIND- I'M
GONNA TURN THIS QUESTION OVER
TO MY COLLEAGUE PATRICK TOPPING
WHO HAS SOME. DETAILS THAT I
BELIEVE THE DEFINITION- AS WELL
THANK YOU. HI PATRICK TOPPING
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE- SO THE
TREND IS DISPROPORTIONATELY
IMPACTED BY SO IN NINETEEN IS A
FEDERALLY DEFINED TERM AND IT'S
INCLUDING LANGUAGE TO ALIGN
WITH THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN
ACTING GUIDANCE. AS BEING
PROMULGATED- BUT THE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT AND MINISTER THE
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
ADMINISTRATION RELEASED A
NOTICE FUNDING AVAILABILITY TO
DETERMINE EVERY REGION IN THE
U. S. AND AFFECT MY CODE AND SO
EVERYTHING. THESE FUNDS. OKAY
THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH
TAKE THE TIME TO ANSWER MY
QUESTIONS I HOPE THEY WEREN'T
TOO LONG AND- I'LL TURN IT OVER
TO THE CHAIR AGAIN TO CALL ON
THAT ONE OF OUR OTHER. FIFTEEN
COLLEAGUES THAT HAS- MIKE UP.
THANK YOU SENATOR GROVE WHO MAY
GO TO SENATOR DOLLY. THANK YOU
ADAM CHARM I DON'T HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS FOR FINANCE I HAVE
JUST I WANT TO RECAP ON. WHAT'S
HAPPENED OVER THE LAST YEAR I
SAID ON SEPT TWO AND- WE DID
THE EARLY ACTION FIRE MONEY.
AND WE WANTED TO GET THOSE THAT
MONEY OUT SO WE COULD ACTUALLY
DO PROJECTS IN OUR COMMUNITIES
TO HELP. FEND OFF WHICH WE KNEW
WAS COMING THE FIRE. AND TODAY
WE BURN ABOUT A MILLION ACRES
JUST IN MY DISTRICT ALONE. SO
DURING BEFORE THE BREAK THE
FIRES WERE STARTED BEFORE WE
ARE. RECESS AND WE PASSED MORE
LEGISLATION TO IN THE BUDGET
BILL AND WE TALKED ABOUT. THIS
BILL THE TRAILER BILL CLEAN UP
LEGISLATION FOR FIRE. SO OVER
THE BREAK I ACTUALLY DID SOME
RESEARCH IN BETWEEN WATCHING MY-
COMMUNITIES BURNED OUT. AND I
FOUND THAT THERE WAS FOUR
HUNDRED AND SIXTY MILLION
DOLLARS WITH THE PROJECT AND I
HAVE THE LIST RIGHT HERE IN MY
HAND. AND IT'S NOT PROJECTS IN
MY DISTRICT IT'S PROJECTS ALL
OVER CALIFORNIA. THEY'RE IN
EVERYONE IN YOUR DISTRICT. I
MAY HAVE TREES YOU MAY HAVE
CHAPARRAL. BUT OUR COMMUNITIES
WILBUR IF WE DO NOT DO
SOMETHING WITH EDUCATION
MANAGER THESE ARE. MIND YOU
SHOVEL READY PROJECTS SO I
SUBMITTED THESE. LESS TO THE
BUDGET CHAIRS I SUBMITTED THEM
TO. THE SUB TWO MEMBERS I
SUBMITTED THEM TO THE PEOPLE
WHO MAKE THIS PLACE WORK. AND
I'M ON. THE WRONG SIDE OF THE
AISLE TO GET THINGS DONE
BECAUSE- EVEN THOUGH I
SUBMITTED ALL THESE PROJECTS.
IN THE BILITY GET THE MONEY ON
THE GROUND TO GET IT DONE. THIS
WILL HAPPEN. SO WE HAVE A
PROCESS THAT SET OUT THE WE ARE
IN A BUDGET HEARING TODAY. AND
WE'RE GONNA LISTEN TO THE
PUBLIC. AND WE'RE GONNA TAKE
THEIR TESTIMONY WHICH- I
BELIEVE DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING
BECAUSE- IF I HAVE A LEGISLATOR
CAN'T GET. THE OPPORTUNITY TO
TALK ABOUT. IN A WAY TO AMEND
BILLS SO THAT WE ACTUALLY DO
SOMETHING ON HE GROUND I DON'T
KNOW HOW THE PUBLIC CAN EVER
INFLUENCES PLACE. TODAY I
WANTED TO SHARE SOME THOUGHTS
ABOUT. WHAT WE NEED TO DO AND I
WANT TO SHARE. WHAT WE FAILED
OUR STATE. WITH POLICY NUMBER.
ONE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TREATING
A HALF A MILLION ACRES. THE CAL
FIRE FOLKS COUNT ACRES THAT'S
TREATED BETTER TIMBER HARVEST
PLANS WHICH PRIVATE COMPANIES
DO ON THEIR OWN LAND. WE ASKED
HIM THAT IN SUB TWO AND THEY
SAID THAT'S TRUE THAT'S
PROPERTIES THAT DIDN'T COST THE
STATE A DIME ACTUALLY WE MADE
MONEY OFF OF THEM. AND THAT'S
ABOUT THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
ACRES. AS I'VE WATCHED MY CAN
SO WE WHEN WE REALLY TALK ABOUT
TREATING ACRES AND WHAT MONIES
WERE SPENDING ON IT THEY'RE
COUNTING ACRES THAT THEY DON'T
EVEN SPEND A DIME ON IS ARE
TREATED ACRES TOOK THE NARROW
IT DOWN TO LOOK AT ABOUT A
MONEY WE'RE SPENDING. ON ACRES
IT'S A LOT HIGHER. COST. SO I'M
ATTEMPTING TO TRY TO. GET
OBJECTS DONE FIRE SAFETY
PROJECTS DONE AROUND
COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE
STATE. SO WE DON'T BURN OUR
COMMUNITIES DOWN. NOW WE ALL
KNOW THAT THE EIGHTH WONDER OF
THE WORLD WAS ALMOST ON PAR
WHICH I CALL TAHOE. I REPRESENT
ALL OF LAKE TAHOE. AND WHEN THE
FIRE CAME OVER THE RIDGE. AND
INTO THE VALLEY THERE WAS A
FIRE BREAK THERE WE HAVE BEEN
DOING SOME FIRE BREAKS AROUND
THE LAKE IN THE LAST FIFTEEN
YEARS SINCE THE ANGORA FIRE. WE
WERE ABLE TO BACK FIRE AT THE
FIRE BREAKING ACTUALLY TURN THE
FIRE AND SAVE. LAKE TAHOE. CAN
YOU IMAGINE WHAT GREENVILLE
WOULD LOOK LIKE IF WE HAD A
FIRE SAFETY. AROUND THAT
COMMUNITY WE WOULD STILL HAVE A
COMMUNITY THERE. SO I HAVE
AMENDMENTS MADAM CHAIR THAT I
WANT TO PROPOSE I DON'T KNOW
HOW THIS PROCESS WORKS I'VE
NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE BUT I
HAVE AN IMAGE THAT I WANT. THE
BUDGET TO REFLECT THAT IF
THERE'S A PART OF A PROJECT
THAT IS AVAILABLE WHAT THAT
MEANS THAT SEQUEL A- NEPA
APPROVED PROJECTS. THAT WE FIND
THEM NOT. THROUGH CAL FIRE WHO
IS BUSY FIGHTING FIRE. OR IF IT
IS THROUGH CAL FIRE THAN THEY
HAVE TO GET THE FUNDS OUT. BY
THE PROP THE PROJECTS THAT ARE.
DEEPER AND SEEK A- SHOVEL READY
PROJECTS THAT WE FIND THEM.
THEY BE DEFENDED BY FEBRUARY
ONE JANUARY ONE OF NEXT YEAR SO
THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE
PLANNING THESE PROJECTS
ACTUALLY GET THE PEOPLE ON THE
GROUND GETTING DONE SO THAT.
NEXT YEAR OR NOT STARTING IN
JANUARY WE'RE STARTING OUT WE
HAVE THE MONEY IN THIS BUDGET
DOES NOT DIRECT THE POLICY TO
GET THOSE DONE SO I'VE
SUBMITTED THE MINUTES TO
EVERYONE YOUR DESK. THAT WE
SHOULD PUT IN THE LANGUAGE THAT
ALLOWS US TO GET THESE PROJECTS
DONE. I JUST I DON'T KNOW WHERE
ELSE TO GO. I'VE TALKED ON THIS
FLOOR ABOUT FIRE SINCE THE TIME
I CAME TO THIS LEGISLATURE AND
TRIED TO EDUCATED THAT THERE'S
ONLY ONE WAY. ONE THING THAT WE
CAN ACTUALLY DO TO STOP FIRE
THAT'S TAKE THE FUEL WAY AT
LEAST AROUND OUR COMMUNITIES.
AS I WATCHED MILLIONS OF ACRES
AND HABITAT AND WILDLIFE AND
WATERSHEDS AND CARBON SPEW- OUT
OF. CALIFORNIA AND WE DON'T DO
GOOD POLICY SO I'M JUST BAKING.
TO DO THE RIGHT THING. TRY TO
GO BACK TO MY COMMUNITIES AND
THE OTHER SENATORS THAT
REPRESENT THESE COMMUNITIES.
AND SAY. YOU KNOW WHAT WE CAN
GET IT DONE. THE GOVERNOR SAID
WE DID NINETY THOUSAND ACRES
AND WE REALLY ONLY DID NINE.
CAL FIRE SAYING WE DO ALL THESE
ACRES AND THEY DIDN'T REALLY DO
IT THE PRIVATE PEOPLE DID IT
BECAUSE OUR TEACH PEACE. LET'S
DO SOME MAKERS LET'S TREAT IT
WE HAVE THE RESOURCES WE HAVE
THE MONEY WE HAVE THE PEOPLE TO
DO IT AND THEY'RE ALREADY
SHOVEL READYPROJECTS SO.
MANAGER I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
PROCESS BUT I HAVE THESE
MOMENTS AND I WOULD REQUEST
THAT WE VOTE ON THESE
AMENDMENTS. AT WHATEVER
WHATEVER THE DELIVERY TIME IS
THANK YOU SENATOR DOLLY THE- IT
IS NOT REALLY APPROPRIATE TO
TAKE AMENDMENTS AT THIS POINT.
BECAUSE THE WAIVERS WE APPROVED
WERE FOR SPECIFIC BILLS IN
SPECIFIC TIME PERIOD AND WE ARE
PAST THAT TIME PERIOD- FIVE.
ONE ONE MOMENT ONE MOMENT- THE-
I APPRECIATE THAT YOU ARE
FRUSTRATED- IN AN- NOT NOT THAT
IT DIMINISHES IT BUT YOU KNOW
YOU HAVE. PRODUCT KEY ISSUES IN
WHAT N. FRUSTRATION ABOUT THE
FINDING IN PAST BUT WHAT I
WANTED TO CLARIFY IS THAT IN
THIS SECTION THAT WE'RE IF IT'S
TO MEAN HAT WE APPROVE IT.
TONIGHT THERE IS FIFTY MILLION
THAT IS GOING TO RECKLESSLY TO
SIERRA NEVADA CONSERVANCY.
ADDITIONALLY THERE IS A HUNDRED
AND TWENTY MILLION FOR FIRE
PREVENTION GRANTS. YOU'RE
CORRECT THAT IT DOES NOT GO IT
IS NOT ALREADY SPECIFIED FOR
WHICH FIRE COUNSELOR FIRE
SAFETY COUNCIL HOWEVER. THEY
ARE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY AND IF
THEY HAVE SHOVEL READY PROJECTS
THEY WILL BE MORE LIKELY TO
RECEIVE THAT MONEY IMMEDIATELY
AND AS YOU POINTED OUT. THERE
WAS A FIRE BREAK THANK GOODNESS
AROUND TAHOE YES IT WOULD BE
OBVIOUSLY. A GREATLY IMPROVED
HAVE FIRE BREAKS AROUND ALL OF
OUR AREAS THAT ARE. IN THREAT
OF WILDFIRE HOWEVER I THINK IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN HARD FOR ALL OF
US TO ANTICIPATE THE BASICALLY
ALMOST EVERYWHERE IN THE STATE.
THE THREAT OF WILDFIRE NOW- SO
IF I MAY YES GO AHEAD SENATOR
GOING. SO WHAT YOU'RE TELLING
ME IS THAT. OVER LABOR DAY
WEEKEND. THESE BILLS WERE
AMENDED ON MONDAY LABOR DAY.
THAT THERE'S NO OPPORTUNITY TO
AMEND THESE BILLS IN A IN A-
BUDGET COMMITTEE THIS IS A
COMMITTEE THIS ISN'T. SO WHY IS
THE PUBLIC THEN GONNA CALL AND
COMMENT ON ANY OF THESE BILLS
BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO INFLUENCE
OVER THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO.
AFFECT THE LEGISLATION I WOULD
SHARE WITH EVERYBODY THAT'S
WATCHING YOU DON'T NEED TO CALL
IN BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING YOU
CAN DO IF THE IF THE SENATOR
CAN'T. REMEMBER OR HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO MEN THAT NOBODY
DOES SENATOR DOLLY WE WILL
ENTERTAIN THE MOTION- AND I
EIGHT. FIVE NOT TRYING TO BE
RUDE HERE BUT I WOULD LIKE TO
JUST POINT OUT THAT. THE- THE
BILLS BEFORE US LAST WEEK TO
NOT ONLY SCHEDULE THIS HEARING
FOR TO ALSO ALLOW US TO AMEND
BILLS WERE OPPOSED BY YOUR
COLLEAGUES ON THE FLOOR
HOWEVER. WE WILL ALLOW YOU TO
MAKE THE MOTION ON THE
AMENDMENTS THAT YOU'VE
DISTRIBUTED. SO YOU WANT TO
MAKE THEM YES I WOULD BE HAPPY
TO MAKE THAT OKAY DO I NEED TO
READ MY MINUTES IS SO YOU DON'T
NEED TO READ THEM THEY ARE IN
WRITING HERE EVERYONE HAS THEM-
SENATORS SENATOR DOLE HE'S
MAKING A MOTION ON THOSE
AMENDMENTS YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU.
AND HE IS CLEARLY ASKING FOR AN
I. VOTE SO. GO AHEAD SEND IF I
MAY THE PUBLIC HAS NO IDEA WHAT
YOU'RE VOTING ON BECAUSE IT'S
JUST IN FRONT OF THE MEMBERS. I
THINK THE PUBLIC HAS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW SHOULD HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW WHAT
WERE EITHER UP OR DOWN
SUMMARIZED CAN YOU BRIEFLY
SUMMARIZE FIVE SURELY CAN'T
THANK YOU. CERTAINLY MY
MEASUREMENTS WOULD ALLOW. FOR
THE DEPARTMENT OF FORTUNE FIVE
REJECTION TO ESTABLISH AND
ADMINISTER GRANTS TO
CONSERVANCIES FIRE SAFE
COUNCILS AND COUNTY GOVERNMENTS
AND THAT ARE HAVE SHOVEL READY
PROJECTS WHAT I STATED EARLIER
THAT MEANS. FIRE SAFE COUNCILS-
OUR CD'S. AND IT ALSO HAS IN
THE SECOND PART OF THE
AMENDMENT IT HAS THE
LEGISLATION TO TAKE FIVE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS TO THE
FROM THE GENERAL FUND MONIES
FOR THE WELFARE PREVENTION WE-
RESILIENCE ACTIVITIES SO
BASICALLY WHAT I'M ASKING YOU.
TO DO IS BUY IN AND IT HAS TO
BE DONE BY. DESCENT BY THE END
OF THE YEAR FOR PROJECT
STARTING NEXT YEAR THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR. THIRD SO SENATOR
DOLLY IS- ASKING FOR NO VOTE ON
THOSE AMENDMENTS- I WOULD ONLY
AS I PREVIOUSLY POINTED OUT
THAT. THE- THE HIS AMENDMENT IS
ASKING FOR A DIFFERENT AGENCY
TO ADMINISTER WELL TO
ADMINISTER A LARGER PORTION OF
FUNDS IN THIS AND WHAT WORKS
FOR US BUT WE DO HAVE CAL FIRE.
IN THIS BILL THAT WE HAVE
BEFORE US WITH THE ABILITY TO
FIND THEIR SHOVEL READY
PROJECTS WITH THE TWO EXACTLY
THE SAME ENTITIES THAT SENATOR
DOLE A POINTED OUT SO- I WILL
BE VOTING NO ON THOSE
AMENDMENTS. AND WE CARE AND
HAVE A ROLL CALL. THE SENATOR
WHITE HOUSE CAN GO AHEAD. CAN
WE HAVE A- CLARIFICATION
BECAUSE THE AMENDMENTS BEFORE
US ARE TALKING ABOUT- THE
EXISTING UNDER EXISTING LAW-
THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
OFFICE. WILL AUTHORIZES FIVE
HUNDRED. MILLION DOLLARS STACK
WAS. APPROPRIATED EARLIER. THE
LANGUAGE IN- AV ONE SEVENTY NOW
MAKES THAT A FULL PART OF THE
BUDGET SO IT'S NOT WE'RE NOT.
TETHERED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE SAYING YES YOU CAN USE
THIS MONEY ALL THAT MONEY'S
THERE SO. PEOPLE UNDERSTAND
IT'S- IT IS NINE HUNDRED EIGHTY
EIGHT IN THE BUDGET RIGHT NOW
NOT DEPENDENT ON ANYTHING FOR
THE PAT AND FINANCE TO DO. I
JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT
CLARIFICATION. RIGHT THANK YOU
FOR THAT. CLARIFICATION- SENDER
WORKOUTS SKI- RIGHT THE SENATOR
NEWMAN AT THANK YOU AND YOUR
DAD I'M NOT SURE IF THIS
PROGRAM WOULD- IS IT POSSIBLE
TO HAVE THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE COMMENT ON THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS BEFORE YOU GO. THE
FIRM WE CERTAINLY CAN- MISLEAD
YOU WANNA MAKE A COMMENT. YEAH
I THINK GENERALLY SPEAKING IT
IS DIFFICULT TO MAKE A COMMENT
HAVING JUST HEARD THE
AMENDMENTS- AND I CAN CONTRIVE
DEFER TO MY COLLEAGUE SERGIO
FOR ANY PARTICULARS BUT I THINK
AT THIS POINT WE WOULDN'T FEEL-
WE'RE IN A POSITION TO MAKE
THAT COMMENT- THE PROPOSED PLAN
THAT WE HAVE IN OUR BUDGET IS
AGREED UPON PLAN THAT- IS WHAT.
THE PARKS. YES SIR I GOT A PART
OF FINANCE YEAH HE JUST- THE
KIND OF REITERATE MISSED LEAVE
COMMENTS WE DON'T HAVE TO BE
ABOUT IT SO WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY ARE BUT I'D BE JUST BASED
OFF OF- WITHIN OR WITHOUT HE
WAS MENTIONING IT IF IT'S
UNENDING THAT PROVISION OF THE
FIVE HUNDRED MILLION A
CALIBRATION THAT PROVISION IS
NOT REALLY- THAT LITTLE WAY

THIS QUESTION IS- I BELIEVE I
HOPE FOR A DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE OR LA- AND IT IS IN
REGARDS TO- THE WILDFIRE
PREVENTION AND RESILIENCY-
FUNDING FOR OUR CONSERVANCY
LANDS I YOU KNOW I JUST WANT TO
SHARE THAT I AND- YOU KNOW
SORELY DISAPPOINTED IN. THE
ALLOCATIONS- ESPECIALLY AS IT
RELATES TO SOUTH LA I AM NOT
TRYING TO POSIT THAT THIS IS AN
EITHER OR THAT ONE COMMUNITY
OVER ANOTHER SHOULD BE
PRIORITIZED BUT I AM ADVOCATING
FOR MORE- ESPECIALLY AS IT
RELATES TO SOUTH LA. IN THE
LAST TWO SURPLUSES- THE BALDWIN
HILLS AREA WAS LEFT OUT
COMPLETELY. WHILE OTHER
COMMUNITIES WITH OPEN FIELDS
WERE GIVEN RESOURCES- SOUTH LA
THE BALDWIN HILLS CONSERVANCY-
IS A FOUR HUNDRED PLUS- SOME
ACREAGE FROM. PARK WITH OTHER
LANDS IT IS AN URBAN POPULATED
AREA- CLOSE TO HOMES BUT ALSO
INCREDIBLY PROXIMATE TO A VERY
ACTIVE OIL FIELD- AND YET
BALDWIN HILLS HAS EITHER
CONSISTENTLY RECEIVED THE
LOWEST OF ALL CONSERVANCY'S OR
WE'VE BEEN LEFT OUT COMPLETELY-
AND LOOKING THROUGH THIS I WAS
SURPRISED THAT- CANINE BLOOD
BANK GOT MORE FUNDING THAN THE
BALDWIN HILLS CONSERVANCY. THEN
A CONSERVANCY FOR SOUTH LA. SO
I'M JUST CURIOUS DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE ARE WHAT'S THE
REASONING BEHIND LEAVING OUT. A
CONSERVANCY THAT SERVICES ALL
OF SOUTH LOS ANGELES AND HOW
ARE THESE DETERMINATIONS MADE-
WITH REGARDS TO WHICH
CONSERVANCY'S GOT ALLOCATIONS
AND HOW MUCH THEY GOT. THE HIGH
TENSION MASTER JAGGER PART OF
FINANCE I THINK I WOULD KNOW
THAT YOU'RE GENERALLY WE TRY TO
LOOK AT THE THAT KIND OF HIGHLY
HIGHER FIRE RISK AREAS AS ONE
OF THE CRITERIA BY. WHAT THEY
HAD TO REALLY POINT IS ALL THE
CAL FIRE MR GRANTS THOSE ALL
COMMUNITY THAT SO JUST BECAUSE
THEY'RE NOT A SPECIFIC ANSWER
IF HE CALLED OUT IT DOESN'T
MEAN THAT WE GENERAL AREAS NOT
GETTING FUNDING. THE GRANTS
ADMINISTERED BY STATES ARE
ACTUALLY GOING OUT TO THESE
COMMUNITIES THAT APPLIED TO THE
FUNDING- WHICH- YOU KNOW WE'RE
DOING AS BEST WE CAN TO TRY TO
EXPEDITE- THROUGH DIFFERENT
PROCESS SEE THAT SO I JUST
GENERALLY YOU KNOW. FOCUSING ON
HIGH RISK AREAS BUT AGAIN
THERE'S OTHER FUNDING IN THIS
PACKAGE THAT THAT ALL OF THE
REGIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
THAT HAVE- VIRUS GOODBYE.
SERVICE CENTER FROM ORDER TO
HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS NO I
JUST WANT TO GET CLARITY SO
THERE ARE SOME CONSERVANCIES
THAT ACTUALLY HAVE A DIRECT
APPLICATION AND THEN YOU'RE
SAYING THERE'S ANOTHER POT OF
MONEY THAT PEOPLE JUST HAVE TO
FIGHT FOR. YEAH AND SO THAT'S
FOR SOUTH LA TO FIGHT FOR. TWO
PACKS. THE WHOLE THE WHOLE PART
OF FINDING AND YET TYPICALLY
REPLICATION PROCESS FOR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES TO BE ABLE TO APPLY
BUT ONE OF THE STRATEGY THAT WE
ARE PLANNING HEREAS WELL IS
WORKING TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR
THE LOCALS TO DEVELOP PLANS AND
DEVELOP PROJECTS THAT THEY
COULD GO THROUGH THE PIPELINE-
I'LL BE THAT CAL FIRE MR GRANT
AND THE CONSERVATIVES AND SO-
IT IS- YOU KNOW AN APPLICATION
PROCESS FOR. THOSE OTHER POTS
OF FUNDING. THANK YOU I MEAN
I'M NOT LESS DISAPPOINTED BUT
AT LEAST YOU ANSWERED THE
QUESTION. SENATOR DRAWS- THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR- I WANT TO
COMMENT ON A B. ONE FIFTY FIVE
AND A B. ONE SIXTY TWO. IS
THAT. CERTAIN OKAY THANK YOU-
AND BOTH OF THEM HAVE TO DO
WITH- ECONOMIC. IMPACTS OF. OF
OUR RESOURCES AND PROGRAMS ON
A. B. ONE FIFTY FIVE. FROM. YOU
KNOW AS AS WE HAVE THE NEED FOR
PROJECTS THAT RESPOND TO OUR
OUR CLIMATE NEEDS AS THOSE- AS
THAT INCREASES. IT SEEMS TO ME
THAT SO DO THE NUMBER OF
WORKERS NEEDED TO TAKE ON-
THOSE PROJECTS- WHEN WE ADDRESS
ENVIRONMENTAL. ISSUES AND
ECONOMIC ECONOMIC IMPACT
REQUIRED THAT THE STATE HAS TO
ALIGN THE CLIMATE AND THE
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT GOALS WE
NEED TO INVEST IN THE PEOPLE
AND THE PROGRAMS. TO ALLEVIATE
THOSE IMPACTS BUT ALSO IN A
MORE POSITIVE WAY BENEFIT FROM
THIS ECONOMY THIS GREEN ECONOMY
THAT WE'RE INVESTING IN- SO WHY
DO WE NEED. CONSERVATION WORK
FORCE DEVELOPMENT IN A VERY
EXPLICIT WAY NOT THAT MAYBE
IT'LL HAPPEN WHO KNOWS WHICH
ORGANIZATIONS. BUT RIGHT NOW WE
DON'T HAVE AN EFFECTIVE
WORKFORCE PIPELINE TO TRAIN
YOUNG ADULTS. FOR STATE OR
LOCAL PARKS DEPARTMENTS- AND
OTHER CAREERS IN THE NATURAL
RESOURCES FIELD- AND I THINK
THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO ACHIEVE
THE STATES OUR CLIMATE GOALS
WHICH WERE ALL IN SUPPORT OF-
THAT MEANS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE
AN EXPANDED AND A SKILLED
WORKFORCE. READY ARM AND THAT
MEANS WE HAVE TO HAVE THE
EDUCATION THE TRAINING THE
CERTIFICATIONS THAT WE NEED. TO
BUILD THESE CLIMATE CAREERS.
AND THESE CONSERVATION WORK
FORCE PROGRAMS ARE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO ALIGN OUR
ECONOMIC GOALS AND OUR CLIMATE
GOALS THE WORKING POOR THE USE
OF- COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN
LEFT OUT OF A LOT OF OTHER
CAREERS. WHAT DO THEY SEE IN
THEIR FUTURE HOW ARE THEY GOING
TO GET PREPARED FOR THAT FUTURE
OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT JUST
TOTALLY OUT OF OUT OF REACH FOR
THEM SO. I JUST WANT TO COMMENT
IT'S NOT A SPECIFIC- BUT- IT'S
NOT A SPECIFIC ASK RIGHT NOW
BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT KIND OF
INFORMATION- ALWAYS GETS LEFT
OUT AND- I DON'T THINK THAT
WERE- WE'RE REALLY ADDRESSING A
NEW GREEN ECONOMY AND- ALL THE
NEEDS THAT WE HAVE FOR CLIMATE
MITIGATION IF. WE'RE NOT
ADDRESSING- THE MEN AND WOMEN
WE'RE GOING TO HELP US REACH
THOSE CLIMATE GOALS- ON AB ONE
SIXTY TWO. I'M VERY EXCITED.
THAT THIS INCLUDES HIGHROAD
LANGUAGE AND HIGH ROAD
LANGUAGES SOMETHING THAT- YOU
KNOW OF ADDRESSES OF METRICS ON
EQUITY. ON JOB QUALITY ON
SUSTAINABILITY WAGE INCREASES
ALL THE JOB CREATION. ALL OF
THAT NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED AND
I'M I'M GLAD WE'RE GOING TO GET
A REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE BOB
THIS. BUT IT SEEMS TO ME WE
NEED TO SEE THIS AND ALL THE
SPENDING ON THE GROUND PROGRAMS
IF WE'RE REALLY GOING TO BUILD
A WORKER CENTERED ON
SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY ALL FOR
EVERYONE. WE'RE SUPPOSED TO AND
WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF
SPENDING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE
ELECTRIFICATION AND ALSO ON
INFRASTRUCTURE- ODD DOLLARS-
ARE WE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE
JOBS ARE BEING CREATED ARE WE
REALLY CREATING THOSE JOBS HERE
IN CALIFORNIA WELL WE ALONE
WITH THE MONEY THAT WE'RE GOING
TO INVEST- WE COULD CREATE AND
SUSTAIN OVER EIGHTEEN THOUSAND
JOBS JUST ON THE ISSUE OF
TRANSPORTATION SO. I JUST- YOU
KNOW IT INVEST IN OUR
INFRASTRUCTURE WE HAD A REPORT
THAT SAID- CLOSE TO THE
LEGISLATURE PUTTING CALIFORNIA
ON THE HIGH ROAD A JOBS AND
CLIMATE ACTION PLAN FOR TWENTY
THIRTY IT EMPHASIZED THAT
INVESTMENTS IN INFRASTRUCTURE
ALONE WILL NOT CREATE A HIGH
QUALITY JOBS WE HAVE TO HAVE
BOTH THE SUPPLY AND THE DEMAND
SIDE- TO CREATE HIGH ROAD
FAMILY SUSPECT SUSTAINING JOBS
FOR OUR FUTURE- SO I JUST WANT
TO MAKE THOSE COMMENTS. I HOPE
THAT THE YOU KNOW AS WE GET
READY I'M SURE OF SOON TO START
TALKING ABOUT NEXT YEAR'S
BUDGET THAT WE ARE MUCH MORE
EXPLICIT ON THESE TWO ISSUES
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. THANK
YOU SENATOR DRAWS OUR SENATOR
WHITE COW SKI. THE CITY. LET'S
START WITH THE AD PACKAGE- FROM
THE SENATE PROPOSAL INCLUDED
TWENTY MILLION FOR INVASIVE
SPECIES COUNCIL AND TWENTY
MILLION FOR UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA RESEARCH REDUCING
GREENHOUSE GAS IMPACTS ON
AGRICULTURE. FINANCES COME BACK
WITH FIVE MILLION ON EACH IS IT
NOT IMPORTANT AT THE UNIVERSITY.
STATE REDUCING GREENHOUSE GASES
OR THAT INVASIVE SPECIES WITH
CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT A PROBLEM
FOR- DEPARTMENT FINANCE. THANK
YOU FOR YOUR QUESTIONS ARE
REALLY COSTLY AND AS NOTED-
EARLIER THIS- WHAT THE
NEGOTIATION AND THERE WERE A
LOT OF THINGS THAT WERE- IND
THAT MANY DIFFERENT THINGS IN
THE ACT PACKAGE- AND THAT.
LEAVE THIS- A TEN MILLION
DOLLAR FUNDING OVER MULTIPLE
OVER TWO YEARS IN IN IN
PARTICULAR BUT I WILL TRY TO
SCRATCH YOU KNOW FOR MORE
DETAILS TO SIR JACK ARE PERHAPS
I COULD REFRESH YOUR MEMORY IN
IN MAY WHEN THE GOVERNOR SENT
US THE MAY REVISE. HE HAD ONE
POINT SIX NINE FOUR BILLION FOR
CLIMATE RESILIENCY. THE SENATE
TOOK AN ACTION TO RAISE THAT TO
THREE. OF THREE BILLION SIX
HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE FIVE AND
NOW IT'S BECOME THREE THOUSAND
SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE SO
WELL THERE'S A LOT OF CREDIT
BEING TAKEN AROUND TOWN FOR
REACHING THE RESILIENCY PACKAGE
I THINK IT WAS THIS BODY TO
TOOK THE ACTION THIS COMMITTEE.
THAT THAT ACTUALLY RAISE THAT
SO MY QUESTION WAS YOU SET OUT
YOUR PRIORITIES WE SET OUT OUR
PRIORITIES AND AT LEAST ON
INVASIVE SPECIES N. N. REDUCING
CHANGE GREENHOUSE GAS RESEARCH
ON AGRICULTURE AND FOOD
PRODUCTION. THEY- THEY DON'T.
THEY HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE MARK
I GUESS THE NEXT QUESTION ON
THE OF AGRICULTURE'S WE HAD
NINETY MILLION FOR THE
DEPARTMENT CONSERVATION. OF FOR
THE FARMLAND PROTECTION PROGRAM
WHICH WE BELIEVE IN THE SENATE.
THAT PROTECTING FARMLAND IS
IMPORTANT THAT BEEN. CAN YOU.
IT TO THE COMMITTEE WILL NOT
MILLION WAS REMOVE BY FIVE.
AGAIN HAS NOT REGISTERED YOUR
REGULAR CUSTOMER DETAILS. IF
THEIR GENERAL PART OF FINANCE I
MEAN JUST TO REITERATE NEWS
LEAVE A COMMENT THOSE ARE JUST
PART OF A COMPROMISE OF
BALANCING THAT MEETS YOUR
PRIORITIES OF- BOTH THE
LEGISLATURE AND THE
ADMINISTRATION AND SO AS PART
OF THAT- THIS- PACKAGE THAT
BEFORE YOU IS THE COMP RIGHT
BACK. C. SURGERY I'M CURIOUS
ABOUT THAT BECAUSE BECAUSE THEY
SAID THE GOVERNOR WANTED ONE
POINT SIX NINE BILLION I MAY
AND THE SENATE ONE OF THREE
POINT SIX SO WE'VE- ADDED WE'RE
IN WE ARE NOW AT THREE POINT
SIX SEVEN FIVE BUT AS I GO
THROUGH THE GOVERNOR'S MAY
REQUEST. TWENTY FIVE MILLION
FOR CLIMATE ADAPTATION GRANTS
HE GOT IT TWENTY FOR REGIONAL
CLIMATE. CREPITUS
COLLABORATIVE'S HE GOT IT-
WHERE'S THE OTHER THING. I KNOW
TO MANY FIRE. EXCUSE ME. MY
CONCERN IS THAT THE SENATE
PRIORITIES THAT WERE LAID OUT
IN MAY. DIDN'T RECEIVE ANYTHING.
SO THAT'S THE ACT PACKAGE WHICH
I THINK THE GOVERNOR GOT
EVERYTHING THAT HE WANTED BUT
LET'S LET'S LET'S MOVE TO THE
CLIMATE RESILIENCY PACKAGE
BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S ONE OF
THE GREATEST CONCERN THE SENATE
LAID OUT A PRIORITY FOR AS
WE'VE HEARD MY- COLLEAGUE MS
COM LOCKER TALK ABOUT STATE
CONSERVANCY PROGRAMS IN THIS
MISTER DOLLIES FAILED-
AMENDMENT IS OTHER RESILIENCY
PROGRAMS OUTSIDE THE DEPARTMENT
OF RESOURCES WE ALLOCATED SIX
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCY
PROGRAM SO THIS IS NOT ONLY
FIRE PROGRAMS BUT WATER
PROGRAMS HIGH ALPINE PROGRAMS
IN. WE GOT SIXTY MILLION. THIS
YEAR PLUS MAYBE A PROMISE THAT
MAYBE YOU'LL GIVE US SOME MORE
NEXT YEAR- AND I'M WONDERING.
THAT HE'S BEEN IN THE PUBLIC
REALM SINCE MAY MAY JUNE JULY
AUGUST SEPTEMBER YET. YOU HAVE
CHOSEN TO COME UP WITH. THREE
TWO HUNDRED MILLION FOR ITS
COMMUNITY RESILIENCY CENTERS
AND THREE HUNDRED MILLION FOR
EXTREME HEAT- SECTORS WHERE DID
THAT COME FROM WORD TO WORD
THAT WAS NOT PART OF THE
GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISE WAS NOT
PART OF ME- WORKED AT THE
SENATE DID WITH THOSE NUMBERS
COME INSTEAD OF THE CONSERVANCY
PURPOSES WHICH WE HAVE. HEARD
FROM SYDNEY MANY SENATORS ARE
BEING OVER SUBSCRIBED IN.
WANTING HAVING SHOVEL READY
PROJECTS. YES I SPEAK A LITTLE
BIT TO THE CONCERN OF THE
FUNDING SO THERE'S SIXTY
MILLION DOLLARS IN THE CLAMP
PACKAGING TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO
I WILL KNOW THAT IN THE OUT
YEARS THERE'S ACTUALLY ALSO
FINDING THAT COUNTRIES ARE
ELIGIBLE FOR AND THERE'S
ACTUALLY A MINIMUM OF SIXTY
MILLION PER YEAR AND THOSE
BARRIERS. THAT WE INCLUDED IN
THE TRAILER BILL AS PART OF
SATISFIED AND THAT TO A MINIMUM
AMOUNT AND SO FOR EXAMPLE IF
YOU LOOK AT THE- THAT MOSTLY
BENEFIT NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS
IT IS ABOUT SEVEN HUNDRED AND
SIXTY EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS
TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE AT
TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR. AND A
TRAILER BILL EXPLICITLY FIVE
CONSERVANCY- ELIGIBLE AND
ACTUALLY PROVIDE THE MINIMUM
LEVEL THE CONSERVATIVES FILLER
PROSELYTIZING FOR AROUND WHERE
YOU KNOW THAT THEY COULD- APPLY
WITH SPECIFICALLY THAT POT OF
FUNDING IS WHERE YOU KNOW. IN
THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS THE
ADMINISTRATION WILL WORK WITH
THE LEGISLATURE EXACTLY PROGRAM
THOSE DOLLARS ACCORDING TO HOW
THE KIND OF TRAILER WILL
OUTLINE THE TYPICAL THE
ELIGIBLE USES WHICH AGAIN
INCLUDES CONSERVANCY. ON OTHER
CONCERT AT THE JUST THAT
CLARIFY. ON THE EXTREME HEAT SO
PART OF WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION
LOOK BAD IS LOOKING AT HOW TO
ADDRESS OUR VARIOUS CLIMATE
RISKS AND EXTREME BEING EXTREME
HEAT BEING- THE EMERGING AND
IMMEDIATE CLIMATE RISK THE
MINISTRATIONS ACTUALLY WORKING
ON AN EXTREME HEAT FRAMEWORK
THAT'S GOING TO BE RELEASED
LATER THIS YEAR SO AS PART OF
THAT THAT THERE BE DIFFERENT
STRATEGY THAN. PROGRAMS THAT
WOULD BE DEVELOPED WHAT WE
WOULD HAVE HAD TO COME BACK TO
THE LEGISLATURE- WITH- OUR
PROPOSAL FOR THE VARIOUS
PROGRAMS TO THEN BE PART OF
THAT DISCUSSION DURING THE
BUDGET PROCESS YEAH BECAUSE IT
YOU KNOW WE HAVEN'T HAD
HEARINGS ON THAT AND IT SEEMS
LIKE YOU'RE TREATING THE
CONSEQUENCE YOU KNOW WE KNOW
WHEN WE HAVE WHEN THE CLIMATE
WILL CHANGE THERE WILL BE
CONSEQUENCES WHAT WE'RE TRYING
TO DO HERE. IS ANTICIPATE THE
CAUSATION THE SAY OKAY THERE'S
TOO MUCH FUEL IN THE FOREST WE
NEED TO REMOVE IT NOT WHEN. THE
FORCES BURNING UP WHAT WE HAD
TO ADD AFTER WE DO HAVE SOME MY-
FOR TREE PLANTING. LET'S GET TO
THE SEVEN HUNDRED C. EIGHT THAT
IS THE MALL BAND- FLOOD IT
SEEMS LIKE WE CONFLATED A BUNCH
OF- SEGMENTS AND IN THERE AND
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO WORK
THROUGH THE LEGEND OF THE BILL
BUT I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY GOTTEN
TO HELL THAT'S BREAK. BROKEN
OUT BUT DAD. I DON'T YOU'RE
SAYING THAT THAT'S WHAT MONEY
FOR CONSERVANCY'S OR SOME OF
THE WORK THAT MAY HAVE BEEN
DONE FOR CLIMATE RESILIENCY
PROJECTS. YOU'RE GOING TO WORK
OUT. SO THERE'S TRAIL ROLE
LANGUAGE- AND- ONE FIFTY FIVE
EXACTLY DETAILS- THIS POT OF
FUNDING AND THAT THE ALLIES
WILL USE THAT AND SO-
ENERGETICALLY DETAILS
CONSERVANCY HAT HAVE A MINIMUM
AMOUNT THAT GOES THROUGH PEOPLE
GET. IN TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE
AT TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR SO
IT JUST LOOK AT THE CONTEXT ON
ON THAT KIND OF THE CONCEPT OF
THE SATISFIED- WEEKNIGHT IF
THERE'S YOU KNOW MUTUAL SHARED
PRIORITIES- WITH A DIFFERENT
NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS A THIRTY
BY THIRTY GOALS. THE
RESTORATION IS ACTUALLY GONNA
BE COMING OUT WITH A COUPLE
DIFFERENT STRATEGIES OVER THE
COURSE OF THE NEXT SEVERAL
MONTHS- RELATED TO THIRTY BY
THIRTY- WHICH- THE EXECUTIVE
ORDER LAST YEAR ADDED A LOT TO
A BILL PASSED. THAT CAMPAIGN IF
I'D BE A VISUAL COMPOSER WITH A
STRATEGY ON HOW TO ADDRESS A
THIRTY BY THIRTY GOALS AND THEN
THERE'S ALSO GOING TO BE AN
UPDATED NATIONAL WORKING LAND
CLIMATE SMART STRATEGY. AS TO
WHAT WE WANT IF WE WANT TO BE
ARE YOUR FUNDING TO BE INFORMED
BY THOSE STRATEGIES WHERE WE
HAVE TO HAVE TO COME BACK TO
THE LEGISLATURE TO PRESENT.
HERE'S A STRATEGY THAT HERE'S
THE PROPOSED PROGRAM THAT WE
WANT TO ADDRESS THE VARIOUS
TYPES OF GOALS AND EFFORTS BUT
AGAIN THAT WOULD GO THROUGH THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS THOSE
FUTURE YEARS. WELL WE ACCESS
THE CIVICALLY INCLUDED
CONSERVANCIES WITHIN THE
TRAINER BILL LANGUAGE IT'LL BE
KNOWLEDGE THAT THAT IS A TOP
PRIORITY OF THE SENATE AND AS
LONG AS- AND MANY OTHER
NUMBERS. YEAH I DON'T I DON'T
THINK I'M EXPRESSING MYSELF IN
THE RIGHT FORM IT WAS OUR IDEA
TO HAVE THE CLIMATE RESILIENCY
B. AT THREE POINT SIX BILLION
DOLLAR PACKAGE NOT THE
ADMINISTRATION'S YOU WANT ONE
POINT SIX WERE THREE POINT SIX.
SO IT'S GREAT THAT YOU'RE GOING
TO COME BACK TO US. AND MAYBE
INCLUDE SOME OF OUR CONSERVANCY
PROJECTS THAT THE GROUP
REPUBLICAN SIDE IN EVERY MEMBER
HERE HAS BEEN SAYING WE'RE
READY TO BUILD WE WANT TO
REMOVE SOME. FUEL WE WANNA FIX
UP OUR RIVERS WHO WANTED-
REPAIR OUR WHAT. I GUESS. LET'S
SEE. D. YOU HAVE REGIONAL
CLIMATE RESPONSE PLANNING AND
IMPLEMENTATION TWO HUNDRED AND
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS. WHERE
DID THAT COME FROM BECAUSE
THAT'S NOT IN THE MAY BUDGET
IT'S NOT IN ANYTHING THAT WE
DID IN THE SENATE. SEPT TWO IN
THIS BUDGET. YOU'VE GOT YEAH I
MEAN YOU'VE GOT THE YOU'VE GOT
THE ENTIRE AMOUNT THAT THE
GOVERNOR WANTED FOR- T. CC'S
TRANSFORMATIVE CLIMATE
COMMUNITIES HOLE FOR FOUR
HUNDRED TWENTY BUT THIS IS TWO
HUNDRED FIFTY ON TOP OF THAT.
AND AGAIN. IT'S A CAUSATION OR
IS IT THE CONSEQUENCES.
KERLIKOWSKE DISS- ERIC LEAVE
THE DEPARTMENT OF. ON THIS DATE
DOES THAT SO IT'S A THREE WAY
NEGOTIATION IT WAS A DEAL
BETWEEN THE ASSEMBLY AND THE
SENATE AND THE ADMINISTRATION
AND THE PLAN FOR YOU IS THE
PREDEFINED L. E. YOU. AGAIN YOU
FUNDED EVERYTHING THAT THE
GOVERNOR WANTED THE FOOT THE
TCC. URBAN GREENING CENTERS
EVERYTHING IS YOUR NUMBER AND
THEN YOU ADD THIS NEW STUFF IN.
HI I MEAN YOU SAY IT'S A THREE
WAY DEAL. IT'S NOT THIS IS NOT
THE SUBJECT WASN'T EVEN ON ON%
OUR PROPOSAL I MEAN I GET A
THREE WAY DEAL WHERE YOU SAY
YOU WANT FIVE HUNDRED WE GOING
THREE HUNDRED YOU GET FOUR
HUNDRED. THAT I DON'T SEE ANY
OF THAT WE HAVE. COASTAL
PROTECTION FOR PROJECTS IN THE
SAN FRANCISCO BAY ZERO WETLAND
RESTORATION FOR THE SAN
FRANCISCO BAY ZERO COASTAL
PROTECTION FOR PROJECTS IN
SANTA. ANA RIVER CONSERVANCY
FORTY MILLION ZERO KELP
RESTORATION FOR FISHERIES ZERO.
BUT THE STATE PARKS GOT THEIR
TWELVE MILLION FOR SEA LEVEL
RISE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE
GOVERNOR WANTED. SENATOR
MURKOWSKI OF GOD A NUMBER OF
OTHER MEMBERS ON MY LIST. WELL
I THERE'S FRUSTRATION THOSE
BEEN EXPRESSED- FROM THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE AISLE FROM OTHER
MEMBERS ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF
THE CLIMATE RESILIENCE WE'RE-
WE'RE- TRYING TO EXPRESS THE
DESIRE TO ACTUALLY HAVE.
PROJECTS THAT REDUCE THE CAUSES
OF CLIMATE NOT TO REACT TO HOW
WE'RE GOING TO REBUILD OUR
CITIES AFTER THE AFTER THEY'VE
BEEN REMOVED AND IT'S JUST-
ANAHEIM. SMALL I'LL LEAVE IT AT
THAT MISS MADAM CHAIR IT'S-
IT'S THOSE. ZACKS EXASPERATING
TO BE ABLE AT THE LABOR DAY
WEEKEND AND TRYING TO GO
THROUGH- THREE THOUSAND PAGES
HERE FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE TO
BE THERE THEIR GUARD AGAIN SOME
PEOPLE ARE SAYING WHAT ARE YOU
DOING FOR OUR CLIMATE. AND WHAT
YOU DO FOR WILDFIRES AND IT
SEEMS LIKE WE'RE YOU KNOW ITS-
IT'S AN INSPIRATIONAL IT'S NOT
BOLD IT'S NOT OTHER RHETORIC
THAT WE'VE HEARD I APOLOGIZE
FOR CARRYING ON- HELLO- NOT TO
MINIMIZE YOU HAVE EXPRESSED HER
FRUSTRATION HOWEVER WHAT I WANT
TO REMIND MEMBERS. IS THAT. WE
ON THIS PACKAGE WHICH YOU MOST
OF YOUR MEN BRING ENOUGH
RESOURCES. EXCEPT FOR THE
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION FUND
IN ALMOST EVERY CASE WE ARE
USING GENERAL FUND DOLLARS WE
HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A
CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE WE HAD
GENERAL FUND DOLLARS TO BE ABLE
TO ALLOCATE IN THIS WAY. SO OF
COURSE AT THE POINT WHERE WE DO
FORTUNATELY BECAUSE OF HIGHER
REVENUES THAN ALL OF US FEEL
VERY STRNGLY ABOUT HOW TO
ALLOCATE THEM AND WE'RE NOT
ALWAYS GOING TO GET THE MALACHY
DID THE WAY. THAT WE AND I
DON'T MEAN TO INDICATE THAT
THIS IS JUST ONE INDIVIDUAL
BUT- IT'S- THE YOU KNOW THESE
THINGS ARE NEGOTIATED AND- IT
IS QUITE SIGNIFICANT AS YOU
POINTED OUT CENTER WACO SKI
THAT WE HAVE THREE POINT SIX
BILLION DOLLARS HERE FOR
CLIMATE RESILIENCY. AND I'M
CONFIDENT THAT WE HAVE ANOTHER
BITE AT THE APPLE TO NEGOTIATE
SOME OTHER DETAILS IN IT. AND
THAT AS WE KNOW GIVEN THAT IT
IS ALREADY- MIDDLE AUGUST THAT-
EVEN IF WE HAD APPROPRIATED IN
VARIOUS OF THE PACKAGES MORE
FOR SAY THIS FISCAL YEAR TWENTY
ONE TWENTY TWO IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN HARD. TO EXPENDITURES DUE
TO THE FACT THAT WE ARE THAT WE
WEREN'T EXPECTING WE DON'T HAVE
EVERYTHING IN PLACE TO SPEND
LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY SO I
THINK THIS IS A- REALLY GOOD
TIME FOR US TO BE. BRITAIN
ROLLING UP OUR SLEEVES AND
GETTING INTO MORE DETAIL SO
THAT WE CAN. REALLY VISIT AND
ALSO OBVIOUSLY IN OUR
APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE
FOLLOWING YEAR. BUT I AM VERY
VERY IMPRESSED AND I THINK WE
SHOULD ALL BE THAT WE ARE
DIRECTING THIS LEVEL OF
INVESTMENT TOWARDS WILDFIRE
TOWARDS DROUGHT. TOWARDS
CLIMATE RESILIENCY SO AGAIN I
HAVE THERE'S A NUMBER OF
FRUSTRATIONS IN. I GOT A
SERVICE MANAGER PLEASE I DO
WHAT I WANT FOR US BUT I THINK
WE ALSO DO I DON'T WANT TO AND
IT IS A FUNNY ANALOGY TO MAKE
EITHER ONE OF THEM IS THE
FORESIGHT WHICH I DO HAVE. WE
MADE A BUDGET DEAL THAT SAID WE
WERE GOING TO SPEND FOUR
HUNDRED FORTY MILLION DOLLARS
THIS BUDGET YEAR ON CLIMATE
RESILIENCE AND THAT WAS AGAINST
THE SENATE RECOMMENDATION THAT
WE TAKE THE THREE POINT SIX
CENTS PER ITEM OFF OVER THREE
YEARS. THE MEASURE IN FRONT OF
US IS ONLY SPENDING THREE
POINT. THREE HUNDRED SIXTY
NINE. MILL SO WHERE DID THE
OTHER SEVENTY ONE MILLION GO
THAT DAY WE ALREADY GOT CHOPPED
DOWN BUT NOW WE GOT CHOPPED
DOWN ANOTHER SEVENTY ONE
MILLION WERE. THE FIRE
PREVENTION OR ALL THESE OTHER
PROGRAMS CLIMATE YOU KNOW SAN
FRANCISCO BAY RESTORATION WHILE
REVENUES WILLING WE'LL BE ABLE
TO REVISIT. AND APOLOGIES BUT I
WOULD LIKE TO CALL ON THE OTHER
SENATORS WHO I HAVE ON THE LIST-
HE HAD OTHER NAMES I HAVE HERE
ARE SENATOR MENTIONED OR PAN
SENATOR NELSON SENATOR DOLLY.
AM I MISSING SOMEONE SENATOR
MCGUIRE. APOLOGIES WHO DID I
MISS. OKAY SENATOR MAN GO AHEAD-
S. CAN BE A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW
I JUST HAD ONE VERY NARROW
QUESTION- IS SO GOING TO THE
EDUCATION INDEPENDENT STUDY
ISSUE- I WASN'T QUITE CLEAR ON
SORT OF- HOW SOME OF THE
DIFFERENT MOVING PARTS-
INTERACTED AND SO- I UNDERSTAND
THAT- THE ELEAZAR MAY OBTAIN
SIGNED INDEPENDENT STUDY
MASTERS AGREEMENTS AFTER.%
THIRTY DAYS BYE THEY WILL GET
APPORTIONMENT. AND THE ADA
FUNDING ISSUE KIND OF GETS
TAKEN OFF THE TABLE THIS IS AN
ISSUE IS BROUGHT TO MY
ATTENTION I LOVE MY LOCAL
SCHOOL DISTRICTS- AND I GUESS
THAT COME WITH THE MAIN THING
THAT THE STREET ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT STRUCK ME I THINK
THIS. CASE CAROLINA THEIR
CONCERNS AROUND. THE USE OF
INDEPENDENT STUDY TO DEAL WITH
COVERT NINETEEN QUARANTINES
BUT- ONE THING THAT THEY AND
NUMBER OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS
POINTED OUT TO ME IS THAT. IT'S
VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE
STUDENTS TO ACTUALLY COMPLETE
THEIR INDEPENDENT STUDY PACKETS
WHEN THERE ARE IN QUARANTINE.
AND THEY WERE CONCERNED THAT
THE- WHEN THESE WERE NOT
COMPLETED THAT THEY MIGHT BE
PENALIZED AND I WASN'T QUITE
CLEAR- FROM THAT. FROM THE GET
A- MATERIALS THAT WE RECEIVED
WHETHER AT LEAST WE'LL GET
FUNDING WENT REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER STUDENTS TO COMPLETE
THOSE AND IT HAS THE FACTS.
DEPARTMENT FINANCE. I DON'T
KNOW MAN I'LL TAKE MY QUESTION
TO JUST. THANK YOU TESCO HOMES
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE SO THE
WAY THAT INDEPENDENT STUDY AN
EIGHTY EIGHTY FOR PURPOSES OF
APPORTIONMENT IS EARNED-
PURSUANT TO EXISTING LAW THAT
EXISTED PRIOR TO COPE. IS THAT
STUDENTS COMPLETE OUR WORK
PRODUCT ASSIGNED TO THEM BY
THEIR TEACHER- AND THIS COULD
CONSIST OF MANY DIFFERENT
THINGS BUT ESSENTIALLY THERE
HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF TANGIBLE
WORK PODUCT THAT COMES FROM
IT- AND THE TEACHER ASSIGNED A
TIME VALUE TO THAT WORK
PRODUCT- THAT IS THEN USED
WHEN- AUDITORS LOOK AT. THE I.
S. PROGRAM IF IT'S A PROGRAM-
IS AN AUDITED- FOR PURPOSES OF
DETERMINING HOW MUCH A PERSON
AN EIGHTY PERSON IN THIS
EARNED. SO THAT'S KIND OF A
LONG ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION
THE SHORT ANSWER TO YOUR
QUESTION IS- TO THE EXTENT THAT
L. E. A. IS CHOOSING TO USE
PACKETS AS THE METHOD FOR-
EXCITING TIME VALUE TO
ASSIGNMENTS YES THOSE WOULD
NEED TO BE COMPLETED IN ORDER
FOR. THEIR PORTION TO BE EARNED
THAT'S HOW THE TIME IS-
CALCULATED THE TIME VALUE OF
AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE IS
CALCULATED FOR PURPOSES OF
RUNNING A PORTION INDEPENDENT
STUDY HOWEVER I WOULD NOTE THAT
THAT IS THE MORE TRADITIONAL
INDEPENDENT STUDY. THERE'S ALSO.
COURSE BASED INDEPENDENT STUDY.
HI IS IT TO MODEL- IS OF COURSE.
MODEL SO- A SCHOOL WOULD AND
PUT TOGETHER OF COURSE- AND GET
IT APPROVED AS THE COURSE BASED
I. S. BETTER OFF COURSE WITH
INDEPENDENT STUDY THAT THEY'RE
OFFERING. AND STUDENTS WOULD
JUST GET- THEY WOULD EARN A
PORTION OR THEY'RE ONLY EIGHT
BASED ON THEIR THE PERCENTAGE
OF COMPLETION OF THE COURSE AND
THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN.
THE WORK PRODUCT AND THAT THAT
IS THE EQUIVALENT INDEPENDENT
STUDY. HOPEFULLY HOPEFULLY. I
ANSWER THAT QUESTION FOR YOU.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT- I'M
SENATOR PANTS. THANK YOU A MAN
BUT IF BUDGET CHAIR- TO VIC.
COMMENT AND THEN A QUESTION- SO
FIRST OF ALL I'D THE COMMENT
IS- IS- THE- CITY CENTER
REPRESENTING THE SIXTH DISTRICT
ACTUALLY- MY DISTRICT IS ONE OF
THE MAJOR HUBS FOR- ACTUALLY
AFGHAN REFUGEES IN THE WHOLE
COUNTRY AND- SO I DID WANT TO
EXPRESS MY- GRATITUDE AND
APPRECIATION TO THE GOVERNOR
AND- ADMINISTRATION. TO INCLUDE
THE SIXTEEN POINT SEVEN MILLION
AND GENERAL FUND TO HELP
SUPPORT. AFGHAN CITIZENS
DIRECTLY FROM AFGHANISTAN AND
SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE THEM THE
SUPPORT AND HERE IN CALIFORNIA
AS THEY- COME TO OUR STATE. MY
QUESTION ACTUALLY IS PERTAINS
TO THE FUNDING TO- FOR PUBLIC
HEALTH SO I APPRECIATE IN
EIGHTY ONE SEVENTY- THERE'S AN
ALLOCATION OF APPROXIMATELY
HALF A BILLION DOLLARS- TO THE
PART OF PUBLIC HEALTH- FROM THE
CDC FOR THROUGH THIS GRANT AS
WELL AS- YOU KNOW THERE'S NO
FUNDS FOR. THE RE OPENING
SCHOOLS AND THEN FINALLY-
NINETEEN POINT THREE MILLION.
THE DPH PURSUANT TO FEDERAL
HEALTH DISPARITIES GRANT AWARD-
SO. APPRECIATE THIS FEDERAL
FUNDING GOING TO THE- THE PART
OF PUBLIC. HEALTH BUT I GUESS.
I HAD SOME. ABOUT MORE
SPECIFICS AND I GUESS THE- WELL
IT DOWN TO. FIRST OF ALL- IS
ANY OF THAT POOR AND ANY
PORTION OF THAT MONEY
PARTICULARLY- THE HALF A
BILLION- FROM CDC AND THE
NINETEEN POINT THREE MILLION
DOLLAR DAYS. ALL GOING TO THE
STATE THE PROBABLY COULTER SOME
OF THAT'S BEING THEN. RE
GRANTED BY THE C. PH TO LOCAL
HEALTH DEPARTMENTS. AND SECOND
OF ALL I APPRECIATE THAT WE ARE
STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
COVETED PANDEMIC AND WELL WE
NOW HAVE VACCINES FREELY
AVAILABLE TO MANY. CALIFORNIANS
THERE ARE STILL- YOU KNOW.
ACTUALLY THE CASE NUMBER. OF
HOSPITALIZATIONS IN THE COUNTRY
IS. ABOVE WHAT WAS LAST YEAR
EVEN HERE IN CALIFORNIA THAT'S
THE CASE SO THEY'RE NOT AS BAD
AS MANY OTHER STATES- WHAT.
PORTION IN TERMS OF THIS FUNNY
ASIDE FROM DIRECT SERVICES FOUR
COVE IT. WHAT PORTION OF THIS
MONEY WILL BE USED TO ACTUALLY
ENHANCE OUR UBLIC HEALTH
INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH INCLUDES.
IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
INVESTMENTS SO WE HAVE BAITED
BETTER DATA TRANSFER- STAFFING
AND LABORATORY CAPACITY BECAUSE
AGAIN BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING
AWAY ANYTIME SOON UNFORTUNATELY
AS MUCH AS WE WERE HOPING. THAT
BY THIS FALL WE DOUBT BE OUT OF
THE WOODS WE'RE CLEARLY NOT
THERE AND- I DON'T ANTICIPATE
THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN- BEFORE
THE END OF THIS COMING BUDGET
YEAR EITHER SO HE'S CAN. CAN
YOU PLEASE TELL ME IN MORE
SPECIFIC DETAILS IN TERMS OF.
THESE FUNDS PROPORTIONS GONNA
GO ON TO LOCAL HEALTH
DEPARTMENTS AND WHAT PORTION IS
GOING TO BE INVESTED BEYOND
DIRECT SERVICES. INTO PUBLIC
HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE. CENTER
CAN ALSO I PLACE YOU OVER TO
ONE MY COLLEAGUE IN OUR HEALTH
UNIT. HI THIS IS- ADAM DORSEY
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE SO- IT'S-
SLIGHTLY COMPLICATED BECAUSE
THERE'S A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
GRANTS AND EACH OF THEM HAVE
SORT OF A HISTORICALLY
DIFFERENT- ALLOCATION BUT- FOR
THE MOST PART THE FEDERAL
GRANTS FROM THE CDC MOSTLY GO
TO. LOCAL HEALTH JURISDICTIONS-
THE MOST RECENT- CDC GRANT- THE
ABOUT A BILLION DOLLARS I
BELIEVE WAS WHAT IS ALLOCATED
TO LOCAL- HEALTH JURISDICTIONS.
AND I THINK THAT'S PRETTY
TYPICAL IN TERMS OF A
PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL- MOST OF
THESE GRANTS DO TYPICALLY GET
ALLOCATED TO LOCAL HEALTH
JURISDICTIONS AND THAT'S THE
WAY THAT WE- CONTINUE TO ROLL
OUT MOST OF THOSE GRANTS- EIGHT
WITH RESPECT TO- INVESTMENTS IN
INFRASTRUCTURE AT THEIR-
CERTAINLY THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT. THE ADMINISTRATION AND IN
CONCERT WITH STAKEHOLDERS AND-
LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS EVALUATING-
WE HAD AGREED TO A BUDGET
CHANGE PROPOSAL AND THAT JULY
BUDGET. FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH TO DO AN
EVALUATION AND A LOOK AT WHERE
THOSE NEEDS ARE. AND THE- THREE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IT WAS
INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET
BEGINNING NEXT YEAR- THE
ANALYSIS IS BEING DONE AS PART
OF THAT- BUDGET CHANGE PROPOSAL
WILL- INFORMANT THE
ALLOCATIONS- FOR THE THREE
HUNDRED NO I APPRECIATE THAT
BUT OF THE MONEY THAT'S BEEN
ALLOCATED IN THIS BUDGET FROM
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ARE YOU
TELLING ME THAT. NONE OF THAT
IS GOING TO GO TOWARD THAT
PURPOSE. IT DEPENDS BECAUSE WE
DON'T NECESSARILY CONTROL HOW
LOCAL HEALTH JURISDICTIONS
ALLOCATE THEIR RESOURCES SO
THERE'S CERTAINLY- COULD SPEND
THE SITE YOU KNOW. PART OF THAT
SIZEABLE YOU KNOW OUTLAY OF
FEDERAL FUNDS FOR-
INFRASTRUCTURE POTENTIALLY BUT
OKAY AND I THINK THAT ALL OF
THIS FUNDS IS GOING ON TO THE
LOCALS AND NONE OF ITS BEING
RETAINED BY THE STATE. JUST
REALLY WHICH IS THE PATHS PASS
THROUGH. THE MAJORITY IS GOING
TO LOCAL CULTURE CONTINUES
VINDICATE THE ROUGH PERCENTAGE
ARE WE TALKING 80% 60% NINETY
FIVE PERCENT. HISTORICALLY IT'S
SOMETHING LIKE SEVENTY THIRTY
BUT I WOULDN'T WANT TO COMMIT
TO THAT NO NO NO I MEAN A
PROCLAMATION OKAY I I'M NOT
GONNA HOLD YOU LIKE- WELL
THIRTY THIRTY ONE SOMETHING SO.
YEAH WELL SOMETHING LIKE THE LC
GRAND IT'S BEEN SEVEN OKAY SO
THERE IS A STATE ACTUALLY OF
THE HALF A BILLION ACTUALLY.
ROUGHLY 30% YOU KNOW COULD BE
TWENTY FIVE TO BE THIRTY. FIVE
OR SOMETHING SOMEWHERE AROUND
THAT IS. SO I THINK WOULD BE
HELPFUL IS THAT AGAIN
APPRECIATE- THE FEDERAL FUNDING
THE ALLOCATION AND THAT I HOPE
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION WILL BE
REPORTING BACK TO THE
LEGISLATURE AND TO THE ALLEY-
ON EXACTLY HOW THESE FUNDS ARE
SPENT AND- PARTICULARLY AGAIN.
APPRECIATE WE NEED TO USE MANY
OF THE- MUCH OF THIS FOR DIRECT
SERVICES GIVEN THE ACTIVE
NATURE OF COVE IT. BUT ALSO-
WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR THE
INFRASTRUCTURE PART WHICH BY
THE WAY ALSO RESPONSIBILITY TO
AFTER ALL YOU KNOW THAT. COULD
YOU NEED TO FAX DATA. RESULTS
IS A VERY INEFFICIENT USE OF
STAFF IN TIME SO. I HOPE THAT I
CAN GET A COMMITMENT FROM FROM
FINANCE THAT YOU'LL BE.
REPORTING BACK TO THE LA- INTO
LEGISLATURE AS TO EXACTLY HOW
THESE FUNDS WERE. DISPENSING
HOW IT HOW THEY WERE SPENT.
YEAH WE'VE BEEN WORK ON A
QUARTERLY. BY WHICH WE UPDATE
ON THE- YOU KNOW UNANTICIPATED
FEDERAL FUNDS AFTER THE DEPART
OF PUBLIC HEALTH GIVEN
DISPENSATION INCREASE AND SO WE
DO- WHEN WE PROVIDE THOSE
UPDATES WE- TRY TO PROVIDE AS
MUCH INFORMATION AS WE HAVE
AVAILABLE ON ON. HOW ON THEIR
INTENDED USE. OKAY WELL- DID
YOU GET TO HAVE MORE- YOU SAID
INTENDED USE I MEAN I
UNDERSTAND THE FEDS HAVE
PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS BUT
IT'D BE GOOD IF YOU CAN OUTLINE
WHAT THOSE ARE SO I APPRECIATE
THAT THESE ITEMS ARE HERE THAT
ARE KIND OF LARGE BUCKETS- BUT
I'M HOPING THAT- WE CAN FOLLOW
UP AND GET MORE SPECIFICS AS TO
HOW THESE FUNDS ARE GOING TO BE
ALLOCATED AND HOW THEY CAN HELP
STRENGTHEN OUR PUBLIC HEALTH
RESPONSE. THANK YOU. THE THANK
YOU AND CENTER PANEL. LET'S GO
TO SENATOR NIELSEN. MADAM
PRESIDENT LAYS DOWN THE CENTER
I HAVE A FEW MORE MAYBE BUDGET
RELATED QUESTIONS BUT I THINK-
FOREGO THOSE JUST TO PROFFER A-
CLOSING OBSERVATION. THERE ARE
THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT.
EXECUTIVE BRANCHES ONE IN THE
LEGISLATIVE AS ONE AND THE
JUDICIAL. IT SEEMS LIKE
INCREASING THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH
SEEMSTO BE A MIND- THAT THERE
YET. THEY MAKE THEIR OWN
DECISIONS. THE GOVERNOR SUBMITS
A BUDGET TO THE LEGISLATURE WE
DO THOUSANDS OF HOURS THEN OUR
SUBCOMMITTEES AND MY THEY WORK
HARD. TRYING TO GIVE OUR A
PREMATURE. THE BUDGET. AND THEN
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE JUST WELL
WE'RE GOING TO DO IT THIS WAY
GOVERNOR WATCHED IT THAT WAY.
AND THE HECK WITH THE
LEGISLATURE. THE LEGISLATURE
OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS DECADES
ACTUALLY. HAVE REGULARLY SEATED
MORE OF OUR AUTHORITY
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY OR RATHER
MORE IMPORTANTLY THE PEOPLE'S
AUTHORITY WE REPRESENT TO THE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH LET THEM
DECIDE LET THEM DO IT. DON'T
CHALLENGE THE GOVERNOR MY GOSH.
WE'VE JUST HEARD MANY EXAMPLES
IS VERY NICE. THE MEMBERS HERE
WHO WORKED VERY HARD. TO GET
CERTAIN THINGS. THAT WOULD BE
LEGISLATIVE INPUT INTO THIS
BUDGET. YOU HAVE TO BE FINDING
OUT THE WELL THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE WANTS TO DO THIS. AND
THIS IS THE GOVERNOR'S PRIORITY.
I'M SORRY GOVERNOR YOU ARE NOT
THE DICTATOR DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE YOU ARE NOT THE SOLE
ARBITER OF WHAT GOES IN THE
BUDGET WE APPRECIATE YOU WE-
ENJOY WORKING WITH YOU. WELL
I'M ACTUALLY NOT ENJOYING IT SO
MUCH ANYMORE. SO I DO HOPE THAT.
AND I DO SEE THAT THE MORE
MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE NOW
ASSERTING LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY
THE AUTHORITY OF THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA. IF WE DON'T HAVE
ANY GREATER EXAMPLE. IT WOULD
BE D. D. D. HOW THEY HAVE A
GRIEVE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
CALIFORNIANS. OVER YEARS. AND
THAT AGENCY IS ABSOLUTELY AND
CAPABLE. RESPOND AND FRANKLY
WITH THE LEGISLATORS HAVE NOT
DONE ENOUGH JOB OF REORGANIZING
SHAKING UP THAT DEPARTMENT TOP
TO BOTTOM. A CLOSE IN OBSERVING
THERE IS A LEGISLATIVE BRANCH
WE- REPRESENT ABOUT A MILLION
PEOPLE. AND I THINK THAT THEY
HERE AND WE MUST NOT CONTINUE
TO DEFER TO THE EXECUTIVE
BRANCH. I HAVE- I'VE NOTICED MY
EXCEPT FOR SENATOR DOLLY
FOLLOWED BY SENATOR MCGUIRE IS
THERE ANYONE I MISSED. OKAY
SENATOR DOLLY. THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR REAL QUICK QUESTION ON
EDUCATION FOR DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE- HAD A CALL WITH ALL MY
SUPERINTENDENTS BUT WE ALSO
WANT TO JUST CONFIRM THAT- IS
DISTANCE LEARNING ACCOUNTED FOR
ADA. IN THIS BUDGET AND THEN
ALSO INDEPENDENT STUDY. YEAH
THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION I'M
GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO
JESSICA HOLMES OF MORE DETAILS
ON INDEPENDENT STUDY. THANK YOU
JESSICA HOLMES DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE SO- IT IT'LL DEPENDS A
LITTLE BIT ON YOUR DEFINITION
OF DISTANCE LEARNING BUT IF
YOU'RE REFERRING TO ZOOM ZOOM
IN ON LINE INSTRUCTION- THE
ERROR YOU HAVE WHATEVER DEVICE.
OR PLATFORM IS USED- THEN YES
THAT CAN BE PART OF AN
INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAM- THE
ONLY OPTION- THE ONLY THE ONLY
CABBIE OUGHT TO THAT IS IF
YOU'RE NOT USING IN THE CONTEXT
OF COURSE BASED INDEPENDENT
STUDY PROGRAM AT THE DOES NEED
TO BE. A WORK PRODUCT AND
PHYSICAL WORK PRODUCT FROM
STUDENTS IN ORDER TO COUNT-
TOWARDS THE TIME NEEDED TO EARN
AN AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE
BUT- NOT ONLY IS ONLINE
INSTRUCTION AND SEE CHRIS
INSTRUCTION ALLOWED.
INDEPENDENT STUDIES ACTUALLY
REQUIRED- IN THE LAW- DEPENDING
ON THE AGE GROUP OF THE
STUDENTS BEING TAUGHT- K.
THROUGH THREE STUDENTS ARE
REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED- DAILY
SYNCHRONOUS INSTRUCTION- VISION
ABOUT THE GREATEST INCREASE- IT
DECREASES- IN HIGH SCHOOL. IT'S
ONCE WEEKLY- OPTION FOR AND-
AND SECRETS INSTRUCTION. LET'S
JUST IN REFLECTION OF THE
UNIQUE NEEDS OF HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THAT AND STUDY- SO THE SHORT
ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS YES
AS LONG AS IT IS- ACCOMPANIED
BY A WORK PRODUCT. THAT MEETS
THE REQUIREMENTS OF INDEPENDENT
STUDY. AND THAT AND THAT'S I
JUST WANT TO BE REAL CLEAR
BECAUSE THIS WAS VERY. FAST
VERY POINTEDLY BECAUSE- FOR IF
YOU HAVE A- OUTBREAK OF COVE IT
IN THE LAST YEAR THEY HAD THE
ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO. DO
INDEPENDENT STUDY. AND MANAGE
THEIR CASES I SHOULD SAY. AND A
LOT OF STUDENTS PREFERRED TO DO
INDEPENDENT STUDY SO. I KNOW
PREVIOUS. TO I BELIEVE THIS
TRAILER BILL. WE WEREN'T
WEREN'T ABLE TO DO THAT SO I
WANT TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE MY-
SUPERINTENDENTS WANT TO HAVE
THAT FLEXIBILITY. SO THEY CAN
MANAGE. THEIR COVERED OUTBREAKS
AND STILL GET THE ADA THEY'RE
HAVING A HECK OF TIME-
MEETING THEIR BUDGETS WITH THE
AMOUNT OF- STILL STOOD-
TEACHERS THAT- AT THE FILLING
TEACHERS AND CAN'T THINK OF A
NAME RIGHT NOW BUT- ANYWAY
GETTING GETTING NO SUBSTITUTE
AND SO THAT'S IT WAS IT WAS THE
NUMBER ONE QUESTION FROM
THROUGHOUT MY NINE COUNTIES
FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT OF
SCHOOLS IF THEY HAVE THAT
FLEXIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THEY
GET THE ADA. THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY
A POINT OKAY. NO PROBLEM
SENATOR MCGUIRE. THANK YOU SO
MUCH READING CHAIR UP. PERSON
FOR MOST- YEAH YOU KNOW THAT
THERE IS FRUSTRATION AND SO
MANY FOLKS ARE TIRED BASED OFF
OF THE FIRE IS THAT SO MANY
COMMUNITIES HAVE BEEN FACING. I
THINK CALIFORNIA IS TRULY THE
CANARY IN THE COAL MINE. WHEN
IT COMES TO THE ISSUES OF
WILDFIRES HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA. IT'S NOT
JUST THE CLIMATE CRISIS BUT
THIS CLIMATE CRISIS IS ADDING
TO THE CRISIS AT THE STATE
FACES. EACH AND EVERY SUMMER
AND FALL. I THINK THAT PROTEIN
MACHEN'S CHAIR SKINNER RIGHT
CASKEY PURCHASE UP TO CHEER AND
THE GOVERNOR HELP LEAD THIS
STATE WITH RECORD FUNDING
EARLIER THIS YEAR RECORD
FUNDING FOR WILDFIRE PREVENTION
ADDITIONAL FOURTEEN HUNDRED
SEASONAL FIREFIGHTERS HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
WILDFIRE PREVENTION FUNDING.
NEVER BEFORE HAS THE GOLDEN
STATE INVESTED AS MUCH ON
WILDFIRE PREVENTION RESPONSE
AND WE HAVE THIS YEAR. BUT IS
ALSO INCREDIBLY CLEAR. COMING
FROM A REGION OF THE STATE THAT
HAS THE FIRST MILLION ACRE FIRE.
WHERE A COUNTY LIKE LAKE HAS
TWO THIRDS OF HIS LAND MASS
BURN SINCE TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN
THAT WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED
FOR A LONG TERM STRATEGIC PLAN
ASSOCIATED WITH WILDFIRE
PREVENTION AND RESPONSE. AND I
KNOW THAT I SOUND LIKE A BROKEN
RECORD EACH AND EVERY BUDGET
CYCLE. BUT CAL FIRE ACTUALLY.
PEAKED WITH STAFFING BACK IN.
NINETEEN SEVENTY FIVE. NINETEEN
SEVENTY FIVE NOW I WILL SAY NO
OTHER GOVERNOR HAS INVESTED
MORE ON CAL FIRE AND WHAT FIRE
PREVENTION THE ONE THAT WE HAVE
HERE TODAY THE GOVERNOR'S. AND.
OUR RESOURCES ARE STRETCHED THE
MEN AND WOMEN ON THE FRONT
LINES OF THESE WILDLAND FIRES
ARE EXHAUSTED AND WE NEED TO
TAKE A LOOK AT A LONG TERM PLAN
WHEN IT COMES OF FULL TIME
EQUIVALENT FIREFIGHTER
POSITIONS WERE STILL TWO
HUNDRED SIXTY ONE FIREFIGHTER
SHORT FULL TIME OF THAT PLANE
BEANS HAVE FAILED. AND WE CAN'T
CONTINUE TO RELY ON SEASONAL
FIREFIGHTERS ARE WORKING TEN
MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. NOT
RECEIVING THE SAME PAY WHICH
CAN REALLY ADD CHALLENGES WITH.
IN THE SAME WORKFORCE
PROTECTIONS. SO WHAT I WOULD
HOPE IS THAT. THROUGH THE
LEADERSHIP OF CHAIRMAN CASKEY
WHO'S BEEN ON THIS ISSUE THE
LEADERSHIP AFTER SKINNER. WHO
I'M GRATEFUL FOR HER DIGGING
INTO THIS ALONG WITH THE PRO
TEAM THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE
ABLE TO DEVELOP A LONGER TERM
PLAN TO BE ABLE TO INVEST IN
WILDFIRE PREVENTION LONGER
TERM. WHICH THE SENATE HAS LED
WITH THE BOND- AND HOW WE'RE
GOING TO BE ABLE TO BRING THE
CAL FIRE RANGE TO WHERE IT
SHOULD BE- TO MEET THE MODERN
NEEDS AT THE GOLDEN STATE BUT I
JUST WANTED TO SAY MADAM CHAIR.
WELL I KNOW WE'RE IN THE THICK
OF IT FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS OF
SESSION BUT TENSIONS ARE HIGH
BUT WE ALSO CAN'T FORGET HOW
FAR WE'VE ALSO COME THIS YEAR.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE
INVESTMENT AMOUNT FOR
PREVENTION RESPONSE. AND IT'S
CLEARLY NOT ENOUGH AND MORE
WORK TO DO. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU SENATOR MCGUIRE LET ME SEE.
ANY OTHER MIKES UP OKAY- I- WE
WILL HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC AND
AT THE RISK OF THE WRATH OF
SOME OF YOU I THE LOOK WITH
THIS IS THE LAST WEEK OF
SESSION AND IT DOES GET TESTY.
AND THERE ARE NO ACTION THAT WE
TAKE WHETHER ITS BUDGETARY OR
LEGISLATIVE SATISFIES EVERYONE
NOR DID IT EVEN THOSE OF US
WHO. WERE MOST INTIMATELY
INVOLVED IN THE NEGOTIATIONS
WE'RE IT'S GIVE OR TAKE THERE'S
A HUNDRED AND TWENTY
LEGISLATORS AND THERE'S AN
ADMINISTRATION BUT I WOULD SAY.
THAT IF WE TAKE THIS PACKAGE
FOR EXAMPLE OR THE SET OF BILLS
BEFORE. US AS SENATOR WHITE
HOUSE KEY POINTED OUT. B. ADMIN.
ONLY HAD PROPOSED. A BILLION
FOR CRIME REGION. WHAT WE WILL
VOTING ON TODAY THIS POINT FIVE
BILLION. NOW IT IS AND SPEND IT
ALL FIRST YEAR BUT WE WOULDN'T
BE ABLE TO SPEND THAT AMOUNT IN
THE FIRST YEAR. SO I THINK THAT
WE- IT'S OKAY TO BE FRUSTRATED
AND EXPRESSES FRUSTRATIONS BUT
I ALSO DO NOT WANT US TO LOSE
SIGHT OF THE INCREDIBLE THINGS
THAT WE ARE DOING. WITH THIS
WITH THE BUDGET WE'VE ALREADY
ADOPTED THE APPROPRIATIONS YOU
MADE AND NOW WITH THIS TRAILER
BILLS TO GET THAT MONEY. ON TO
THE STREET AND ITO THE
PROGRAMS TO. CUT TO CHALLENGE
THE CLIMATE CRISIS WERE IN THE
MIDDLE OF THAT'S WHY WE HAVE
TWENTY FOUR SEVEN ALL YEAR
ROUND FIRES NOW. AND THIS
ACTION IS THAT WE HAVE BEFORE
US WOULD GET THAT MONEY TO ST
PERHAPS NOT AS FAST AS EVERYONE
WANTED BUT IT IS APPROVED IT IS
APPROPRIATING A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT YES WE WILL NEED MORE
WORK FORCE AND- HOPEFULLY WILL
HELP PROTECT REVENUES IN THIS
UPCOMING YEAR TO DO THAT. AND
WE WERE ARE BEGINNING TO
ADDRESS THE FACT THAT NOW THAT
WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF THE
CLIMATE CRISIS WERE FEELING IT
DAILY THE WE'VE GOT TO ADAPT.
WE'VE UP TO RECENTLY FOCUSED
PRIMARILY ON TRYING TO REDUCE
THE EMISSIONS THAT CAUSE IT BUT
WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF IT. SO
THE RESILIENCY PACKAGE IS AN
ADAPTATION PACKAGE AND WE HAVE
NEVER PUT FUNDS TOWARDS THAT
AND THEN NO ONE MADE THIS
COMMENT TONIGHT BUT THERE'S
ANOTHER REALLY GREAT THING. IN
THE HIGHER EDUCATION ACTIONS
BEFORE US WE ARE GOING TO BE
AUTHORIZING. FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION. FOR STUDENT HOUSING.
WE HAVE A HOUSING CRISIS
EVERYONE HERE KNOWLEDGE IS ****
AND WE HAVE STUDENTS NOW THAT
LIVE IN VEHICLES THAT COUCH
SURF. BETTER HOMELESS
ESPECIALLY WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGE SYSTEM. AND WE'RE GOING
TO BEGIN. TO ADDRESS THAT BY
PARTNERING WITH OUR HIGHER ED
INSTITUTIONS TO BUILD STUDENT
HOUSING WHICH WE HAVEN'T DONE
IN A LONG TIME SO THERE IS A
LOT OF GREAT THINGS. IN THESE
ACTIONS AND THE OVERALL
WILDFIRE PACKAGE JUST FOR THIS
YEAR ALONE IS ONE POINT FIVE
BILLION IN SPENDING SO. LET US
TURN TO THE PUBLIC NOW THEY MAY
HAVE. SOME OTHER FRUSTRATIONS
OR PERHAPS THEY HAVE SOME
THINGS THEY'D LIKE TO
CELEBRATE. SO THERE IS NO ONE
IN OUR HEARING ROOM OR I WOULD
CALL ON THEM. AND THERE'S NO
ONE IN OUR AUXILIARY ROOM SO
THAT MEANS WE'RE GOING TO HEAR
FROM PEOPLE CALLING IN. THE
PHONE NUMBER FOR THOSE OF YOU
WHO WANT TO CALL IN IS. EIGHT
