PROVIDING A BRIEF UPDATE ON EACH
COMPONENT OF THE NINE POINT SIX
BILLION IN OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE.
INVESTMENTS THE FIRST INVESTMENT
IS APPROXIMATELY SEVEN POINT
SEVEN BILLION GENERAL FUND IN
THE TRANSIT AND INTERCITY RAIL
CAPITAL PROGRAM OVER FOUR YEARS
FOR HIGH PRIORITY TRAINS AND
RAIL INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE. THE
ADMINISTRATION IS CURRENTLY IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE TWENTY TWENTY
THREE T. I. R. C. P. GRANT CYCLE
WHICH WILL COMMIT APPROXIMATELY
THREE POINT SEVEN BILLION
GENERAL FUND TO TRGP PROJECTS.
BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR.
OVER TWO AND A HALF BILLION HAS
ALREADY BEEN AWARDED TO SIXTEEN
EXISTING RAIL AND TRANSIT
PROJECTS. THE REMAINING FOUR
BILLION WHICH IS AVAILABLE AFTER
TWENTY TO TWENTY THREE. AS A
FORMULA DISTRIBUTION TO REGIONAL
AGENCIES IS NOT CURRENTLY
COMMITTED I WOULD BE COMMITTED
AND FUTURE TRC GRASS LIKE WAS.
THE NEXT INVESTMENT IS
APPROXIMATELY ONE BILLION
GENERAL FUND FOR ACTIVE
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS. THESE
PROJECTS ENCOURAGE INCREASED USE
OF ACTIVE MODES OF
TRANSPORTATION SUCH AS WALKING.
AND BIKING AND INCREASE THE
SAFETY AND MOBILITY OF NON
MOTORIZED USERS. THE CALIFORNIA
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION IS
CURRENTLY ADMINISTERING A FOUR
YEAR GRANT CYCLE OF THE ACTIVE
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM WHICH
TOTALS ONE POINT SEVEN BILLION.
FOR ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION
PROJECTS. THIS INCLUDES THE ONE
BILLION GENERAL FUND
AUGMENTATION FROM THE
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
PACKAGE ALONG WITH THE PROGRAM'S
BASELINE FUNDING. THE ENTIRETY
OF THIS FUNDING WILL BE
COMMITTED BY THE IN THE FISCAL
YEAR. THE NEXT INVESTMENT IS
THREE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION
GENERAL FUND FOR HIGH PRIORITY
GRADE SEPARATIONS THESE PROJECTS
SUPPORT CRITICAL SAFETY
IMPROVEMENTS ARE GRADE
CROSSINGS. THIS FUNDING WAS
INCLUDED IN THE TWENTY TWENTY
THREE T. R. C. P. GRANT CYCLE
WHICH IS EXPECTED TO BE
COMPLETELY COMMITTED BY THE END
OF THE FISCAL YEAR. THE NEXT
INVESTMENTS FOUR HUNDRED MILLION
FOR CLIMATE ADAPTATION PROJECTS
THAT SUPPORT CLIMATE RESILIENCY
AND REDUCE RISKS TO
INFRASTRUCTURE FROM EXTREME
WEATHER EVENTS. THE FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION. IT'S COMPRISED OF THE
FOLLOWING. TWO HUNDRED MILLION
FEDERAL FUNDS BEING ADMINISTERED
BY CALTRANS FOR CLIMATE
ADAPTATION PROJECTS THROUGH ITS
STATE HIGHWAY OPERATIONS
PROTECTION PROGRAM OR SHOP.
CALTRANS IS CURRENTLY
PROGRAMMING NEW CLIMATE
ADAPTATION PROJECTS AND ADDING
CLIMATE ADAPTATION COMPONENTS TO
EXISTING SHOP PROJECTS. CALTRANS
ANTICIPATES BEGINNING TO
PROGRAMS FUNDING LATER THIS
SPRING. CALTRANS ALSO RECEIVE
FIFTY MILLION GENERAL FUND FOR
CLIMATE ADAPTATION PLANNING
GRANTS. CALTRANS HAS DEVELOPED
PROGRAM GUIDELINES ISSUED A CALL
FOR PROJECTS- PROJECT
APPLICATIONS IN JANUARY WHICH
ARE ACTUALLY TODAY. GROUNDWORK
FOR EXPECTED TO BE DISTRIBUTED
IN AUGUST. THE REMAINING ONE
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION IN CLIMATE
ADAPTATION. IS BEING
ADMINISTERED THROUGH THE
CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION. IN CONSULTATION WITH
CALTRANS THROUGH THE NEW LOCAL
TRANSPORTATION CLIMATE
ADAPTATION PROGRAM. THE CDC IN
CALTRANS OF ENGAGE WITH
STAKEHOLDERS TO DEVELOP PROGRAM
GUIDELINES AND A CALL FOR
PROJECTS BOTH OF WHICH ARE
ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETED IN
MAY TWENTY TWENTY THREE. THE
PROGRAM PROJECTS IS EXPECTED
EXCUSE ME. THE FINAL INVESTMENT
OF THE TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE IS ONE
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION GENERAL
FUND TO ESTABLISH THE
RECONNECTING COMMUNITIES
HIGHWAYS TO BOULEVARDS PILOT
PROGRAM. WHICH WILL INFORM THE
FUTURE CONVERSION OF KEY UNDER
UTILIZED HIGHWAYS INTO MULTI
MODAL QUARTERS THAT SERVE
EXISTING RESIDENTS. CONFERENCES
IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING
GUIDELINES FOR THIS GRANT
PROGRAM AND HELD SEVERAL
WORKSHOPS OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS.
CALTRANS CURRENTLY EXPECTS TO
PUBLISH A CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
IN THE SUMMER OF TWENTY TWENTY
THREE AND AWARD THE FUNDING BY
THE END OF THE CALENDAR YEAR.
THAT CONCLUDES A STATUS UPDATES
ON EACH PORTION OF THE
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
PACKAGE. WHILE THE
ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE
SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN
IMPLEMENTING THE TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS THE
STATE'S GENERAL FUND REVENUES.
HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY DECLINED
RESULTING IN A STRUCTURAL BUDGET
BUDGET DEFICIT. TO ADDRESS THIS
DEFICIT THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
PROPOSES SEVERAL SOLUTIONS SOME
OF WHICH IMPACT. THE
TRANSPORTATION BUDGET.
SPECIFICALLY THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET PROPOSES A REDUCTION. OF
THE PLANT AUGMENTATIONS OF JUICE
TWO POINT SEVEN BILLION GENERAL
FUND FROM THE TRANSPORTATION
BUDGET COMPRISES THE FOLLOWING
SOLUTIONS. THE FIRST SOLUTION IS
REDUCING THE ANTICIPATED FOR
BILLION OUT YOUR TEARS IF YOU
ARE GOING TO XIN TO TWO BILLION.
THE OUT YOUR FUNDING
AUGMENTATION WOULD BE SPREAD
ACROSS THREE FISCAL YEARS ONE
BILLION IN TWENTY TWO TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR. AND A FIVE
HUNDRED MILLION AND THE
SUBSEQUENT TO FISCAL YEARS. THE
SOLUTION WOULD STILL LEAVE AND
FUSION OF FIVE POINT SEVEN
BILLION DOLLARS IN GENERAL FUND
IN THE T. R. C. P. PROGRAM ON
TOP OF ITS NORMAL BASELINE
FUNDING. THAT THE ADMINISTRATION
WILL USED TO LEVERAGE ADDITIONAL
FEDERAL FUNDING THROUGH THE I.
J. I WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT THE
SOLUTION DOES NOT IMPACT TO THE
CURRENT TWENTY TWENTY THREE. J.
R. C. P. GRANT CYCLE. THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET ALSO INCLUDES
LANGUAGE THAT WOULD RESTORE THE
FULL FOUR BILLION DOLLAR
AUGMENTATION. I'M SHOULD GENERAL
FUND REVENUES BE SUFFICIENT TO
SUPPORT THEM IN JANUARY OF
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR. THE NEXT
LUCIEN IS TO SWAP OUT FIVE
HUNDRED MILLION GENERAL FUND IN
THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION
PROGRAM. WITH THREE HUNDRED
MILLION FROM THE STATE HIGHWAY
ACCOUNT. THE SOLUTION WOULD ALSO
UTILIZE. TWO HUNDRED MILLION IN
PREVIOUSLY. RESERVED S. H. A.
FINDING OUT OF THE ATP PROGRAM
FROM OUT YOUR CYCLES AVAILABLE
TO OFFSET THE REMAINDER OF THE
FIVE HUNDRED MILLION. DOLLAR
GENERAL FUND. A REDUCTION. THIS
ONE WILL ALSO BE USED TO
LEVERAGE I TAKE A FUNDS. EXCUSE
ME. THE NEXT ELECTION WITH THE
WAY THE AVAILABILITY OF THREE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION IN
HIGH PRIORITY GRADE SEPARATIONS-
FUNDING FROM. TWENTY TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR TO TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE TWENTY SIX. THE
FUNNY FOR A GRADE SEPARATIONS
WAS INCLUDED IN THE T. R. C. P.
CALL FOR PROJECTS. HOWEVER GIVEN
THE MULTI YOUR NATURE OF THESE
TYPES OF PROJECTS THE SOLUTION
IS NOT EXPECTED TO SIGNIFICANTLY
IMPACT. THE ADMINISTRATION'S
ABILITY TO DELIVER THE SAME
NUMBER OF ORIGINALLY PLANNED
PROJECTS THAT IMPROVE SAFETY FOR
PEOPLE WALKING BIKING AND
DRIVING IT REAL CROSSINGS. THIS
PROPOSAL ALIGNS THE AVAILABILITY
OF FUNDING WITH THE RECEIPT OF
ANTICIPATED- ASSOCIATE
EXPENDITURES. THIS FUNDING IS A
SUBSET AND I JUST WANT TO KNOW
THE SPENDING IS A SUBSET OF THE
TLC PROGRAM. SO BECAUSE OF THE
SUBSTANTIAL AVAILABILITY- OF THE
FRONT AND FUNDING THE
ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE ABLE TO
MANAGE EXPENDITURES WITH THE
AVAILABLE CASH TO THE EXTENT
RECEIVING. LASTLY THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET PROPOSES TO REPLACE THE
TWO HUNDRED MILLION IN GENERAL
FUND. FOR THE TIME ADAPTATION-
PROGRAMS WITH FUNDING FROM THE
STATE HIGHWAY COUNT SO IT'S A
NET REDUCTION OBSERVED A
PROGRAM. THAT CONCLUDES MY
PRESENTATION. MY COLLEAGUES AND
I FROM ACROSS ADMINISTRATION-
ARE AVAILABLE TO HELP ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE THANK YOU
. THANK YOU MISTER QUAN- WE'LL
MOVE ON NOW TO THE L. A- MISTER
HUMANNESS. I'M GOOD MORNING
MADAM CHAIR AND COMMITTEE
MEMBERS THANK AMENITIES WITH THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE-
OVERALL WE RECOMMEND THAT THE
LEGISLATURE ADOPTED- PACKAGE A
BUDGET SOLUTIONS THAT ALIGNS
WITH ITS PRIORITIES IN MANY
CASES WE FIND THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS FROM THE
RECENT GENERAL FUND
AUGMENTATIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION
TO BE REASONABLE. HOWEVER WE
KNOW THAT THESE PROPOSALS
REPRESENTS THE GOVERNOR'S
PRIORITIES AND CRITERIA FOR WHAT
SHOULD BE JUST SUSTAINED A
REDUCED. THE LEGISLATURE COULD
IDENTIFY ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS
THAT COULD BE JUST AS REASONABLE
WHETHER THAT'S A DIFFERENT MIX
OF SOLUTIONS WITHIN
TRANSPORTATION OR IDENTIFYING
SOLUTIONS ACROSS THE BUDGET.
SUPPORT HIGH PRIORITY
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS. OVERALL
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
PRIORITIZES SUSTAINING FUNDING
FOR PROGRAMS WITHIN THE
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
PACKAGE THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN
APPROPRIATED IF YOU LOOK ON PAGE
ELEVEN OF YOUR AGENDA. THAT'S
THE AMOUNTS IN TWENTY ONE TWENTY
TWO- WE FIND THAT THIS APPROACH
TO BE REASONABLE GIVEN THAT MANY
OF THESE PROGRAMS HAVE ALREADY
BEGUN ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
FROM LOCAL AGENCIES. AND IT
STARTED TO AWARD FUNDING THE
PROJECTS- THE GOVERNOR ALSO
PROPOSES SUSTAINING FUNDING FOR
A PORTION OF THE ACTIVE
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM. AND THE
FULL AMOUNT FOR THE LOCAL
CLIMATE ADAPTATION PROGRAMS BY
SHIFTING FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL
FUND. TO THE STATE HIGHWAY COUNT
WHICH IS ONE OF THE STATE'S MAIN
ACCOUNTS FOR FUNDING HIGHWAY
MAINTENANCE AND REHABILITATION
PROJECTS- SIMILARLY IN THESE
FINE SHIFTS WOULD MINIMIZE
DISRUPTION TO PROGRAMS OR LOCAL
AGENCIES ARE IN THE PROCESS OF
SUBMITTING APPLICATIONS. OUR
PARTY- BEEN AWARDED FUNDING WE
KNOW THAT THESE FRIENDSHIPS ALL
TO MANY COME WITH THE TRADE OFF
OF LESS FUNDING- FOR STATE
HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE AND
REHABILITATION PROJECTS. HOWEVER
THE STATE IS IN A UNIQUE
POSITION TO LEVERAGE THE
ADDITIONAL FORMULA HIGHWAY
FUNDING- THAT THE STATE IS
EXPECTED TO RECEIVE- FROM THE
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND
JOBS ACT- I AJ ARE ALSO KNOWN AS
THE- BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE
LAW. WELL THE SPANISH SHIPS
WOULD REDUCE FUNDING FOR HIGHWAY
MAINTENANCE AND REHABILITATION
PROJECTS THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING
FROM I'D J. WOULD LARGELY OFFSET
THIS- THE LARGEST REDUCTION IN
THE TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGES FOR THE-
POPULATION BASE I'M TRANSIT
INTERCITY RAIL CAPITAL PROGRAM.
FUNDING AGREED TO IN THE BUDGET
YEAR AND BUDGET YOUR PLUS ONE-
WE FIND THAT THESE REDUCTIONS
ARE REASONABLE GIVEN THE
MAGNITUDE OF THE BUDGET PROBLEM
FACING THE STATE IN THE BUDGET
YEAR IN THE OUT YEARS. THE
LEGISLATURE PROVIDED A
SIGNIFICANT- PORTION OF ITS
RECENT GENERAL FUND SURPLUSES-
ON ONE TIME AND LIMITED TERM
ACTIVITIES WHICH PROVIDED THE
STATE AND UNDERLYING FLEXIBILITY
TO RESPOND TO CHANGING BUDGET
CONDITIONS. I'M GIVEN THAT THESE
CONDITIONS HAVE CHANGED WE FIND
IT IS REASONABLE TO FIND
SOLUTIONS FROM THE ACTIVITIES
AGREED TO IN THE OUT YEARS- THIS
WOULD PREVENT THE LEGISLATURE TO
CAUSE DISRUPTION THE PROGRAMS
THAT ARE ALREADY UNDER WAY. AND
PREVENT THE LEGISLATURE FROM
FINDING SOLUTIONS FROM ON GOING
AND BASS LINE ACTIVITIES- WE
NOTE THAT EVEN WITH THE PROPOSED
REDUCTION THIS STILL REPRESENTS
A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN STATE
GENERAL FUND SUPPORT. FOR
TRANSIT IN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
WHEN COMPARED TO RECENT YEARS-
IN OUR REPORT WE NOTE THAT IN
SOME TRANSIT AGENCIES ACROSS THE
STATE ARE FACING OPERATIONAL
SHORTFALLS. AS A RESULT OF-
CHANGING COMMUTING PATTERNS THAT
HAVE SUSTAINED IN COMING OUT OF
THE PANDEMIC- WE WOULD JUST
NOTED IN A REPORT THAT THE
POPULATION BASED HERE C. P.
FUNDING IS FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS
AND SHOULD NOT BE VIEWED.
NECESSARILY AS HELPING WITH THIS
ISSUE. THE LEGISLATURE HAS
OPTIONS OF ALLOWING MORE
FLEXIBILITY FOR THIS FUNDING BUT
WE WOULD NOTE THAT THIS WOULD BE
A RE PRIORITIZATION OF THE
ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE END OF
THE OF THE FUNDS. AND REQUIRE
SOME STATUTORY CHANGES- WE ALSO
RECOMMEND THAT THE LEGISLATURE
REJECT THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED
TRIGGER RESTORATION PROPOSAL-
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET WOULD
ALLOW FUNDING FOR THE POPULATION
BASED HERE SEE PM IN THE BUDGET
YEAR TO BE RESTORED ON THERE TO
CHECK A RESTORATION PROPOSAL.
THE GOING FROM ONE BILLION TO
TWO BILLION WHICH WAS THE
ORIGINAL AGREED TO AMOUNT- THIS
WOULD OCCUR IN JANUARY TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR. IF THE
ADMINISTRATION DETERMINES THAT
THE STATE HAS ENOUGH RESOURCES
TO SUPPORT ITS BASELINE
ACTIVITIES. AND ALL OF THE ITEMS
ON THE TRIGGER RESTORATION.
CURRENTLY THERE IS ABOUT THREE
POINT EIGHT BILLION ACROSS THE
BUDGET ON THIS TRIGGER
RESTORATION LESS- SO IF THE
STATE DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH
FUNDING TO. SUPPORT ALL OF THE
ITEMS ON THE TRIGGER RESTORATION
LESS I'M NONE OF THEM WILL
TRIGGER BACK ON SO IT'S ALL OR
NOTHING APPROACH. WE BELIEVE
THAT THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE STATE
RECEIVING SUFFICIENT FUNDS TO
ACTIVATE THE TRIGGER I'M
RESTORATION IS LOW. AND THE
LEGISLATURE SHOULD VIEW THIS AS
A REDUCTION AND NOT SOMETHING
THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE
RESTORED. WE ALSO FIND THAT THE
PROPOSAL MINIMIZES THE
LEGISLATURE'S AUTHORITY AND
FLEXIBILITY TO RESPOND TO.
CHANGING REVENUES. AND INVOLVING
SPENDING PRIORITIES. LASTLY WE
RECOMMEND THAT THE LETTER. USED
THE SPRING THE WAY ALTERNATIVE
SOLUTIONS AN ADDITIONAL CUTS-
BASED ON MORE RECENT DATA OUR
OFFICE ESTIMATES THAT THE BUDGET
PROBLEM FACING THE LEGISLATURE
COULD BE LARGER THAN THE ONE-
ESTIMATE IN THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET. AND OUR REPORT WE
IDENTIFY SEVERAL PROGRAMS OR
ADDITIONAL SOLUTIONS COULD BE
REASONABLE- THESE PROGRAMS
EITHER HAVE SIMILAR EFFORTS ARE
FUNDING AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL AND
THAT AT THE- BEEN APPROPRIATED
UNDER I. AJ. AYE CONTINUES
APPROPRIATIONS THAT COULD COVER
OUT YOUR COST OR NEW PROGRAMS
WITH LIMITED OUTCOMES FOR
INSTANCE THE CLEAN CALIFORNIA
LOCAL GRANT PROGRAM. IS A NEW
PROGRAM WITH LIMITED REPORTING
OUTCOMES THE PROGRAM AS TWO
YEARS WORTH OF PROJECTS THAT ARE
STILL WORKING TOWARDS
COMPLETION. THE LEGISLATURE
COULD REDUCE FUNDING FOR THE
PROGRAM IN THE BUDGET YEAR AND
WAIT FOR ADDITIONAL. REPORTING
OUTCOMES BEFORE DECIDING IF
ADDITIONAL FUNDING IS WARRANTED-
PLEASE MY COMMENTS HELP ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS. FIFTY THANK YOU
VERY MUCH- THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE THAT MISTER WELLS- NOT
JUST AT THE DEPARTMENT FINANCED-
STEVE WELLS- AT THIS POINT AT
WORK WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER ANY.
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS YOU MAY
HAVE REGARDING. EITHER THE- THE
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
PROPOSAL OR- ASSOCIATED- IDEAS
ABOUT. THANK YOU- OUT COMING OUT
TO- MY COLLEAGUES MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE I JUST WANT TO SAY A
COUPLE OF THINGS BEFORE WE GET
INTO. MORE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS- I
KNOW SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE ON
THE ON THIS COMMITTEE- WE'VE
BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD TO
INCREASE OVER THE LAST SEVERAL
YEARS. THE BUDGET FOR
TRANSPORTATION AND INCREASE IT
IT WAS NOT WHERE IT NEEDED TO BE
AND I KNOW THE BIGGEST CONCERN
ALL. THAT WE ROLLING GAUGE WHAT
WAS HIGH SPEED RAIL- HIGH SPEED
RAIL IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF
OUR STATEWIDE TRANSPORTATION
NEEDS BUT IT'S NOT THE ONLY NEED
THAT WE HAVE SO WE HAVE ENGAGED
IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. IN
INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF MONEY
THAT'S NEEDED AND OTHER PARTS OF
THE STATE AS AS WE GROW AS WE-
HOUSING- YOU KNOW IT'S ONLY
AVAILABLE. IN INLAND IT AND
BECOMES MUCH MORE DIFFICULT FOR
PEOPLE TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH
TO THEIR JOBS. SO WE'RE IN A
REAL- OF A HISTORIC MOMENT HERE
ABOUT MOVING FORWARD WITH THE
THINGS THAT WE NEED. THE WAY I
SEE THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IT
IT HELPS- GET MOVED PEOPLE
ESPECIALLY WORKING PEOPLE WHO
DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER WAY OF
GETTING AROUND TO GETTING TO
THEIR JOBS. IT HELPS MOVE GOODS
IT HELPS CREATE GOOD PAYING JOBS
ESPECIALLY IF WE DO OUR JOB AND
MAKING THEM ENFORCEABLE HIGH
ROAD JOBS AND TRAINING- PART OF
THE PACKAGE. I'M AND OF COURSE
IT'S A CLIMATE ISSUE NOTHING
VERY RARELY IS TRANSPORTATION
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IDENTIFIED
AS ESSENTIAL TO. ADDRESSING OUR
CLIMATE ISSUES SO I SEE THIS AS
ARE REALLY IMPORTANT I AM VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT THE TWO BILLION
DOLLAR CUT. HERE AND NOT KNOWING
IF AND WHEN THAT COULD ALL. BE
REINSTATED- WE ALSO KNOW THAT.
AS A RESULT OF- WE THINK AS A
RESULT OF COBIT ANNA THE
DECREASE IN THE RIDERSHIP- THAT.
WE'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT
KEEPING THOSE TRAINS MOVING
WE'VE GOTTA KEEP OUR TRANSIT
LINES OPERATED. SO THAT'S
ANOTHER- ABOUT VERY BIG CONCERN
SO- I'LL JUST- PASS IT OVER AND
I HAVE I HAVE QUESTIONS BUT I'LL
- DEFER TO MY COLLEAGUES.
SENATOR NEWMAN THIS IS THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR AND TWO MORE YOU
FOLKS I SHOULD BE HERE. SO I
WANT TO TALK GENERALLY AND GET
YOUR FEEDBACK GENERALLY ABOUT-
THE PROSPECT OF SHIFTING SHOP
MONIES- TO OTHER PURPOSES AND I
UNDERSTAND. THE INTENT NINE
YEARS PROTECTION SO THAT WILL BE
OFFSET WITH I HA FUNDS. BUT YOU
KNOW I AND I'M SURE OTHERS ARE
CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY
CHIPPING AWAY. AT A PROMISE WE
MADE- TO KNOWLEDGE VOTERS BUT TO
STAKEHOLDERS IN PASSING SB ONE
IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN- AND THAT
PROMISES MADE EXPLICIT- BY THE
PASSAGE OF THE VOTERS OF PROP
SIXTY NINE IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN.
M. AND SO. SB ONE WAS MEANT TO
CREATE A FLOOR FOR SPENDING MORE
OVER IT WAS IT WAS FULLY
INTENDED TO CREATE A- PERSISTENT
DEDICATED REVENUE STREAM SO. YOU
YOU KNOW WANT ONE CAN MAKE THE
ARGUMENT THAT THIS IS TEMPORARY
BUT IF IT IF- THIS ACTUALLY
TAKES AWAY- FROM FUNDS AVAILABLE
IN THE OFF YEARS THAT TO ME
DOES. RUN COUNTER- TO THE
UNDERSTANDING THE INTENT OF SB
ONE. HR YOU KNOW I OF G. OF AN
ISSUE. WITH THAT SO YOU KNOW I'D
LIKE TO HEAR I GUESS FROM THE L.
A. O. HOW CAN WE FIND OTHER
SAVINGS- YOU KNOW YOU'VE YOU'VE
YOU'VE MADE CLEAR THAT THE
LEGISLATURE MIGHT HAVE OTHER
OPTIONS. THAT DON'T. STE THEY
DON'T UNDERMINE- THE BROADER
INTENT AND THE VALUE OF THE S.
B. ONE REVENUE STREAM. YEAH
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION- AS
WE MENTIONED OUR REPORT YOU KNOW
IN ORDER TO FIND. SAVINGS TO
SUPPORT YOU KNOW THESE PROGRAMS
TO PREVENT AND ON S. HA FUND
SHIP IN A WE WOULD HAVE TO FIND
SOLUTIONS FROM OTHER AREAS
WHETHER THAT BE. WITHIN THE
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
PACKAGE OR ACROSS THE BUDGET WE
NOTE THAT IN OTHER AREAS OF THE
BUDGET THE GOVERNOR HAS PROPOSED
ADDITIONAL SPENDING PROPOSAL SO.
IF WE HAVE ADDITIONAL SERVICES-
SPENDING PROPOSALS THOSE NEED TO
BE FOUND THROUGH CUTS IN OTHER
AREAS SO THAT'S ANOTHER AREA THE
LEGISLATURE COULD LOOK AT IS.
YOU KNOW- REDUCING ARE REJECTING
THOSE ADDITIONAL SPENDING
PROPOSALS AND OTHER AREAS OF THE
BUDGET- TO YOU KNOW SUSTAIN
PROGRAMS IN THE TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE AND-
PREVENT THEM THE FINE SHIFTS AS
AS AN ALTERNATIVE- I WILL NOTE
THAT. BASED ON OUR ESTIMATES
EVEN WITH THE FINE SHIPS- SHOP
BUT STILL HAVE FUNDING. ABOVE
ITS HISTORIC BASELINE AND THAT'S
LARGELY BECAUSE THE I. AJ MORE
THAN OFFSETS THE SHIFT-
UNDERSTAND THAT THAT COMES WITH
THAT TRADE OFF AND ULTIMATELY IS
LESS FUNDING FOR SHOP OVERALL
BUT- JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT
OUT. AND I'D I'D POINT OUT THAT
IT GIVEN THE CONSTRUCTION A. I.
HA BECAUSE PROVISIONS THAT
ACTUALLY THAT ACTUALLY DECREASES
THE DEGREE TO WHICH WE CAN
LEVERAGE. A STATE FUNDS TO
SECURE I. HA FUND SHOW A
DEPARTMENT FINANCE. YEAH YOU
KNOW. IF YOU SPEAK TO THAT RIGHT
SO YOU KNOW SAY THE YOU KNOW
THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT LEVERAGE
ISSUE- AND AGAIN WE'RE MAKING
TOUGH CHOICES. BYE YOU KNOW
THERE IS IT THERE IS A COST
BENEFIT TO CONSIDER I THINK WHEN
DOING. THAT CERTAINLY- I THINK
WHEN WE AT. IT WE WERE VERY. HAS
ITS AND JUDICIAL WITH WE
PROPOSED TO FUND SHIFT- I THINK
THE MAIN CRITERIA WE WANT TO
LOOK AT WAS. WHERE WHERE FUNDING
HAD ALREADY BEEN- YOUNG IN THE
CASE OF THE A. T. P. YOU KNOW WE
HAD ALREADY HAD A CALL FOR
PROJECTS. SO AND THAT'S A
HISTORICAL FUNDED OUT OF THE S.
HA. OF PROGRAMS SO WE FELT
SHIFTING THREE MILLION TO THE S.
TO THE EIGHTY P. WAS
APPROPRIATE- GIVEN GIVEN IT'S A
STEP STARK ON NATURE. ALSO ON ME
AS FAR AS THE OTHER TWO HUNDRED
MILLION ON CLIMATE ADAPTATION.
THOSE ARE. TRADITIONALLY SHOP
PROJECTS SO TO THE DEGREE THAT
WE'RE DOING THOSE PROJECTS WITH
A FOCUS ON THE CLIMATE
ADAPTATION. CRITERIA WE ARE
ACCOMPLISHING PROJECTS THAT
WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN DONE
AND SHOP. YOU KNOW FOR THE MOST
PART SO IN BOTH OF THOSE CASES
WE TRY TO HAVE IS LITTLE IMPACT
AS WE COULD ON THE IN THE
STATE'S MAIN A REHABILITATION
PROGRAM- BUT- YOU KNOW THE
REALITY IS DID YOU KNOW TO THE
DEGREE THAT WE- FIND. THE
PROGRAMS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THE
SHOP. YOU KNOW THERE'S THERE
ISN'T. THERE ISN'T A WHOLE LOT
OF OTHER AREAS WITHIN THE
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING SPECTRUM.
YOU KNOW WHERE THERE'S
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF MONEY
AVAILABLE. SO YOU KNOW THAT SO
THAT GETS US WHERE WE'RE AT NOW
IS OUT PRESSURE THERE BUT BUT I
YOU KNOW I GUESS POINT THERE'S
PROBABLY A LESSON THEIR LAND YOU
KNOW LAST YEAR'S LAST TWO YEARS
WE HAD SIGNIFICANT SURPLUSES.
AND ADMINISTRATIONS THE INTENT
WAS ALWAYS DESCRIBES AND WE'RE
GONNA MAKE ONE TIME.
EXPENDITURES THAT DID NOT COMMIT
THE STATE. LATER BUT IN EFFECT
WE'VE DONE THAT WITH THE A. T.
P. FUNDS IF WE HAVE TO OFFSET.
SOME OF THOSE MONIES WITH-
EXPECTED REVENUES THAT WOULD
HAVE OTHERWISE GONE TO SHOP
PROGRAMS- DO YOU DON'T YOU DON'T
NEED TO RESPOND TO THAT I GUESS
IT ALSO ASK ABOUT THAT THE
CLEAN. CALIFORNIA PROGRAM- AND
THERE'S SOME GOOD STAFF
ANALYSIS- THAT. POINTS OUT THAT
THAT PROCESS HAS BEEN STE ORDER
THE FUNDS ARE OUR- TO THE THAT
PUTS THE LEAD- IN IN IN IN A-
ARE. POSITION IF WE REDUCE THE
FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR THAT- EVEN
AS WE NEED THE IMPLICIT PROMISE
TO LOCAL JURISDICTIONS- FOR
SUPPORT OF YOU KNOW APPLY FOR
PROGRAM SO THAT DAILY- IF YOU IF
YOU COULD SPEAK TO THAT HOW HOW
SHOULD WE THINK ABOUT THAT- AND
WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND WE DO.
YEAH AN END AND THAT AREA WE
WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE
LEGISLATURE MMHM- DIRECT
ADMINISTRATION TO NOT SOLICIT
APPLICATIONS AWARD FUNDING
BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE GRANT
SPENDING AUTHORITY- THE
LEGISLATURE AGREED TO THE OUT
YOUR FUNDS BUT- THEY HAVEN'T
BEEN OFFICIALLY APPROPRIATED TO
THE DEPARTMENTS TO SPAN- BY
SOLICITING APPLICATIONS. EARLY
WE CREATE THE EXPECTATION THAT
FUNDING IS AVAILABLE BEFORE IT
HAS BEEN APPROPRIATED WHICH- YOU
KNOW WE FIND LIMITS THE
LEGISLATURE'S AUTHORITY TO LOOK
INTO OUT YOUR FUNDING AND TO
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON ITS
PRIORITIES AND WE FIND THIS.
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT
ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE DEALING
WITH THE BUDGET PROBLEM THE
LEGISLATURE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
LOOK AT THESE OUT YOUR FUNDS AND
DETERMINE. YOU KNOW FREELY WHAT
SHOULD BE REDUCED I'M SHIFTED
AROUND- BUT BY CREATING THIS
EXPECTATION EARLY- I NECESSARILY
LIMITS THE LEGISLATURE'S. YOU
KNOW IT'S ALREADY AND THAT'S
BECAUSE OF THESE PREMATURE
ACTIONS AND PRECIADO THANK THANK
YOU AND THANK YOU MEASURE. YOUR
I JUST LIKE TO FOLLOW UP IF
THAT'S OKAY CENTER- IS- MISTER
KHAN COULD YOU PLEASE. A LITTLE
BIT MORE TO THAT ISSUE OF WHY
PREMATURELY- IN OUR OPINION
PREMATURELY YOU ARE. TAKING THE-
THE APPLICATIONS- SO TYPICALLY
FUNDING FOR TRANSPORTATION FOR
LARGE TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. I WAS
TYPICALLY AWARDED ON A MULTI
YEAR BASIS. IF ONLY HALF OF THE
FUNDING HAD BEEN A BETA MADE A
EXCUSE ME IF THE ONLY A PORTION
OF THE FUNDING HAD BEEN MADE
AVAILABLE- WITHOUT THE CERTAINTY
OF AVAILABLE FUNDING IN THE
FUTURE. IT WOULD HAVE LIKELY
LIMITED THE NUMBER OF
APPLICATIONS THAT WE WOULD EVER
SEE FOR THE FUNDING. AND
ADDITIONALLY- IT PLACES US IN A
BETTER POSITION TO LEVERAGE MORE
FEDERAL FUNDS CONSISTENT WITH-
YOUR STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS I
DON'T KNOW- MISTER TECH HAS.
ELECTED ADD ANYTHING ELSE- IF
I'M EVER MAYES SENATORS- STEVEN
CHECK WITH A CALTRANS ON THE
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. ANOTHER
KEY POINT IN THIS PROCESS. WHICH
IS VERY SIMILAR TO HOW WE DO ALL
ALL TRANSFER FROM. IS WE TO BE
PART FOR THOSE FOR ARE APPROVED.
SO IF THE LEGISLATURE CHOOSES TO
APPROPRIATE THOSE FUNDS NEXT
YEAR WE WILL BE ABLE TO THE VAN
A- THE FUNDING TO LOCAL PROJECTS
AND BEGIN CONSTRUCTION VERY
EARLY. OUR CURRENT SCHEDULE
WOULDN'T HAVE US AWARDING TO
PROJECTS UNTIL AUGUST OF TWENTY
TWENTY THREE WHICH IS AFTER THE
EXPECTED- APPROPRIATION TIME
FRAME. SO WE WOULDN'T BE
COMMITTING FUNDS TO PROJECTS
UNTIL AFTER ITS APPROPRIATED AND
WE ALSO MADE THAT CLEAR TO LOCAL
PARTNERS NOT TO EXPECT THE
FUNDING BUT TO PREPARE FOR IT
AND I THINK- THAT GIVES US A
GOOD PATH TO COMPLETING THESE
PROJECTS QUICKLY IN THE NEXT
FISCAL YEAR. WELL I PUTS US IN
THE POSITION RIGHT IF YOU'VE
GONE THAT FAR THAT THEN WE HAVE
TO PULL BACK NOT BUT THE
LEGISLATURE TO REALLY. ADD PLACE
BECAUSE THEN THE ARGUMENT
BECOMES WELL WE'VE ALREADY
STARTED WE'VE ALREADY STARTED TO
GO DOWN THAT ROAD NOW YOU WANT
US TO PULL BACK. SO YOU ALMOST
CREATING THE CIRCUMSTANCES FOR
US TO BE IN A- NO WIN YES
CERTAINLY AND IT IS NOT OUR
INTENT TO DO THAT RIGHT WE'RE
NOT. INTENDING TO PUT THE
LEGISLATURE IN A BIND BUT I JUST
WANT TO EXPLAIN WHY WE'RE DOING
THE PROCESS WE ARE AND OF COURSE
WE'LL WE'LL TAKE ANY DIRECTION
GIVEN. OKAY SINCE THE ADAM.
THANK YOU FIRST I WANT TO
ADDRESS A LITTLE BIT OF OUR
TAXPAYER EXPECTATIONS OUT THERE.
WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
THAT EXPANDS THE- DOLLARS
AVAILABLE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND EVERY STATE IS AWARDED A
CERTAIN AMOUNT. THAT EXPECTATION
FROM THE TAXPAYERS IS THAT
THEY'RE GOING TO GET SOMETHING
MORE THAN THEY'RE GETTING
ALREADY. AND WHEN IT COMES TO
STATE HIGHWAY- IT YOU KNOW
FUNDS- THERE EXPECTING TO GET
MORE. NOT TO HAVE. THAT BACK
FILL. WE NOT TAKE IT OUT OF ONE
AND PUT IT IN THE OTHER. AND
WHEN THAT HAPPENS THEY LOSE
CONFIDENCE IN IN THE SYSTEM THE
GOVERNMENT. AND- AND THAT THAT
TRANSLATES INTO WHEN LOCAL
COMMUNITIES THE LOCAL AGENCIES
ARE TRYING TO GET- TRYING TO DO
BONDS AND STUFF TO TRY AND DO
THAT THEY DON'T PASS BECAUSE
NOBODY TRUSTS THE SYSTEM
ANYMORE. SO THAT'S NOT REALLY
ACCEPTABLE WAY OF TAKING CARE OF
THAT WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS
PRIORITIZE. AND IN- AREAS THAT I
WOULD CALL- WE HAVE A NEW WORD
IN SECURITIES OKAY SO OUT IN THE
AREAS THAT I REPRESENT- IS.
RIVERSIDE COUNTY IS ONE OF THE
IS IT ANTICIPATED TO BE THE
FASTEST GROWING REGION IN THE
NEXT TWENTY FIVE YEARS. IN THE
STATE. AND THEY HAVE ROAD IN
SECURITIES OUT THERE. AND THERE
IS NO NOTHING ON THE HORIZON.
THAT GIVES US ANY HOPE. THAT THE
ROADS THERE KILLING PEOPLE TODAY
ARE GOING TO GET FIXED. WE HAVE
ROADS OUT THERE HIGHWAY ROADS
THAT AS NEEDED TO BE IMPROVED
FOR YEARS. AND THEY HAVE HIGHER
THAN NORMAL DEATHS YOU KNOW SO
WE'VE GOT THAT BOX CHECKED OFF.
BUT WE JUST CAN'T GET FUNDING
OUT THERE TO FIX THESE ROADS. SO
THAT THEY ARE ADEQUATE TO HANDLE
THE AMOUNT OF POPULATION THAT IS
BEING SHOVED OUT THERE. V. R.
HOUSING ELEMENTS AND THINGS LIKE
THAT- TO THEM I UNDERSTAND THE
H. IT DID ACTOR THE ATP IS. A
STATE PRIORITY. FOR THE FOR THE
PEOPLE UP HERE. BUT FOR THE
PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY LIVE. AND
DRIVE ROADS EVERY DAY THEIR
PRIORITY IS BEING ABLE TO GET
FROM POINT A TO POINT B. ALIVE
EVERY DAY. AND WE'RE SICK AND
TIRED OF GOING TO PEOPLE'S
FUNERALS. OUR FRIENDS OUR
FAMILIES THEIR KIDS. BECAUSE WE
HAVE BEEN ADEQUATE ROADS.
CALIFORNIA HAS A ROAD WORST ROAD
SYSTEM. THE WORST ROAD
MAINTENANCE PRETTY MUCH IN THE
NATION ARGUABLY. WE CAN'T KEEP
TAKING MONEY OUT OF THE STATE
HIGHWAY. ADMITTED TO ROADS ROAD
POT. TO PUT INTO BIKE PATHS. AND
THEN USING MONEY THAT WAS
SUPPOSED TO HELP US GET OUT OF
THAT RUT. AND PUTTING IT BACK
INTO. HM AND BASICALLY KEEPING
THAT THAT POT EVEN BECAUSE THAT
KEEPS US WHERE WE'RE AT. PEOPLE
WANT MORE THEY WANT THE ROADS
FIXED THEY WANT THE-
INFRASTRUCTURE OUT IN THE AREAS
THAT ARE EXPECTED TO GROW. TO
HAVE THE DOLLARS ALLOCATED TO IT
TO MEET THE NEEDS AND THE
EXPECTATIONS. THAT THE STATE IS
SETTING. AND SO. MICHAEL MICHAEL
IN THERE IS WHY DO WE KEEP
TAKING MONEY OUT OF THE STATE
HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION FUNDS. N.
N. N. MEN MEANWHILE BASICALLY
KEEPING THE OTHER FUNDS HOLE. I
KNOW ATP GOT CUT A LITTLE BIT.
BUT WE CAN'T WE CAN'T KEEP AND
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO CATCH UP
WITH THESE ROADS WHEN WE GOING
TO PROVIDE THE ADEQUATE FUNDING.
ESPECIALLY TO AREAS LIKE OURS.
WE CAN DO BIKE PATHS. GET TO
BIKE PATHS IN THE SUMMERTIME
THEY DON'T WORK. IN THE
WINTERTIME THEY DON'T WORK
THERE'S TOO MANY PASS IN BETWEEN
. SO WHEN DO WE WHEN WE INCREASE
THE FUNDING FOR THAT AND MAKE
THAT A PRIORITY SO WE STOP
KILLING PEOPLE WE HAVE WILDLIFE
QUARTERS WERE FUNDING WE'RE
DOING ALL THIS OTHER STUFF WHEN
WE GONNA STOP KILLING THE
PEOPLE. AND START GETTING THEM
THE ROADS THEY NEED SO THEY'RE
NOT SITTING IN TRAFFIC CREATING
MORE POLLUTION. AND THEY'RE
ACTUALLY ABLE TO GET FROM POINT
A TO POINT B. WITHOUT HAVING TO
SCHEDULE A FUNERAL. SO THAT'S MY
KIND OF QUESTION ON WHAT I SEE
IN OUR BUDGET. YEAH ANSWER THAT
WELL FEELS LIKE ENTERING OKAY.
WHO FEELS LIKE ANSWER I MEAN.
STEVE ALSO DEPARTMENT FINE I
MEAN I AGAIN I CAN'T REALLY
ADDRESS FROM- IT IMPLEMENTATION
STANDPOINT I CAN SAY FROM THE
BUDGETING SIDE WE TAKE VERY
SERIOUS THE REQUIREMENTS THAT
ARE- YOU KNOW DEPARTMENTS THAT
WERE PUT FORTH IN SB ONE- THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SHOCK AND OF
THE- OF THE S. HA AND THE ARMORY
THOSE CREATIVE SB ONE- WE HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO INCREASE THE SHOP
THE STATE HIGHWAY- OPERATION FOR
ABOUT. PREVENTION PROGRAM YOU
KNOW WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CREASE
THAT BY- ALMOST FIFTY PER THE
ALMOST DOUBLE IT FROM TWO POINT
SIX BILLION A YEAR TO FOUR POINT
SIX BILLION APPROXIMATELY A YEAR
FOR- FOR THE REHABILITATION
STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM SO- YOU
KNOW FROM A BUDGETING
STANDPOINT. WE HAVE- YOU KNOW
WE'VE HAD WE'VE PUT FORTH THE
THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO ALLOW
US. OVER THE MULTIPLE YEARS OVER
THE TEN YEAR SEE IS THIS A PLAN
TO- TO ADDRESS THE CORE ASSETS-
OF THE STATE- IT'S A IT'S IT
TAKES A WHILE I UNDERSTAND THAT
IT'S BEEN YOU KNOW THAT SB ONE
IS NOW. FOR YEARS AND BUT IT IS
A YOU KNOW IT IS A CUMULATIVE
PROCESS TO YOU KNOW SORT OF DIG
OUT A HOLE AND THEN START
DIGGING UP FROM THERE- BUT THE
FUNDING THAT IS GOING TO THE
MAIN- REHABILITATION- ACCOUNTS
IS. YOU KNOW IT IT IS THERE YOU
KNOW SO IN THE CASE OF EIGHTY P.
YOU KNOW THE THREE IN A MILLION
THAT WE WITH THAT WE WANT TO
DIRECT TO THAT. YOU KNOW WE DO
LOOK AT THAT AS A ONE TIME THING
TO ADDRESS YOU KNOW A SITUATION
THAT WE'RE IN YOU KNOW THAT
THAT'S A CUTE BUT- I YEAH I HEAR
YOU TALKING ABOUT. I WANT
NOTHING MORE THAN TO SEE YOU
KNOW WHEN WE START LOOKING AT
THE TEN YEAR PLAN TO START
SEEING US YOU KNOW SING
EVERYTHING. THE OVERALL PAVEMENT
AND- YOU KNOW A LOT OF AREAS OF
HAVE HAD A LOT OF PROJECTS DONE-
BUT I UNDERSTAND IF THIS IF
YOU'RE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY
YOU HAD ABOUT THE UNITY. YOUR
HIGHWAY HAS AS A LOT OF ROUGH
SURF ONCE THEN YOU KNOW THAT
DOESN'T MATTER SO- LIKES I I'D-
JUST ONCE ON THE FUNDING SIDE I
BELIEVE THAT WE'VE- WE'VE- DONE
THE FUNDING IS PRETTY MUCH.
WHERE IT WAS DIRECTED TO BE- YOU
KNOW FROM THROUGH THE THROUGH
THE PROCESS OF SB ONE AND
THROUGH THE EFFORTS WE MADE.
CARLOS AND I THINK YOU NEED ME
JUST ADD- CENTERS SHARES.
CALLING SO. PRICE NINE. THAT WAS
- PUT IN FOR THE VOTERS PURSE.
THE REASON I THINK YOU
REFERENCES TO GIVE THEM THE
CONFIDENCE THAT YOU KNOW THEY'RE
HARD FUNDS FISHING ON A- AS YOU
GO TAX ON DIESEL AND GAS. THAT
WOULD BE THAT. ATTEMPTED FROM
THIS SORT OF RE USE- INSTILLED
EGGS TO THE L. A. O. OR OR- THE
OFFICE- HAVE WEEKEND AND OTHER
PROVISIONS IN PROP SIXTY NINE
FOR BUT- CIRCUMSTANCES. HAVE WE
MET THAT THRESHOLD. IS THIS
CONSISTENT YOU KNOW OF THE DID
YOU KNOW THE KIND OF SHIFTING
AND BEVERLY'S IS CONSISTENT.
WITH PROSECUTORS SIXTEEN HAS
THAT BEEN LOOKED AT DELIBERATELY
. IT IS IT WHAT WHAT WHEN YOU
SAY THIS CONSUMPTION WHAT A LEAD
YES EXAMPLE- YOUR YOU KNOW THE
OFFSETS WE TAKE SHOT MONIES WELL
EIGHTY PICTURES VAGANA FRIED SO.
BUT BUT BROADLY SPEAKING I KNOW
YOU HEAR FROM FOLKS FROM THE
INDUSTRY COALITION. THIS SEEMS
VERY CLEARLY TO RUN COUNTER TO
THE SPIRIT. OF NOT ONLY THE
INTENT OF SB ONE BUT BUT DID YOU
KNOW THE ASSUME NEED FOR PROP
SIXTY NINE TO GIVE VOTERS THE
ASSURANCE. THAT THAT WE WOULD
NOT DO IN FUTURE YEARS WHAT WE
WHAT WE APPEAR. TO BE DOING NOW
WHICH IS TO USE STATE HIGHWAY
FUNDS- THAT ARE THE RESULT OF.
THE SB ONE TAXES A TO MEET THESE
YOU KNOW THESE FISCAL
CIRCUMSTANCES BUT UNDER PROP
SIXTY NINE THE EXPECTATION IS
ONLY UNDER EXTRAORDINARY
CIRCUMSTANCES WE DO THAT AND SO-
HAS ANYBODY LOOKED AT THIS. OR
IS THIS BECAUSE YOU KNOW IF THIS
IS CONSIDERED KIND OF NORMAL AND
BE EXPECTED- I THINK IT WOULD
SURPRISE SOME FOLKS- VOTERS AND
STAKEHOLDERS ALIKE. SO I JUST
THE EIGHTY P. PROGRAM THIS IS AN
IS AN ONGOING YOU KNOW WE WE'VE
HAD THE TV PROGRAM FOR- TEN
YEARS NOW AND IT HAS A BASELINE
FUNDING OUT OF THE S. HA THERE'S
A- COORDINATING FEDERAL OF
COMPONENT TO IT ALSO AND LET'S
LET'S NOT USE A TWO PIECE OF
**** LET'S LET'S USE A SHIFT-
OF- SB ONE FUNDS TO TRANSIT. AS
AN EXAMPLE BUT- WE HAVEN'T
PROPOSED TO SHIFT THIS ONE FUNDS
OKAY I UNDERSTAND GREAT. I'M
SORRY GRADE SEPARATIONS ON A
GRADE SEPARATIONS ALL ALL WE'RE
DOING THIS SO. GRADE SEPARATIONS
ARE OR A SUBSET OF TRANSIT
SPENDING THAT IS GENERALLY
MANAGED THROUGH THE A OF THE TRC
P. PROGRAM. WE'VE GOT A NEARLY
FOUR BILLION DOLLAR PROCREATION
THAT WAS MADE THAT WE'VE HAD A
CALL FOR PROJECTS ON. WE'RE NOT
GONNA SPEND THAT ENTIRE FOUR
BILLION DOLLARS SO WE'RE NOT
WE'RE JUST CALLING FOR. AS FAR
AS THE BUDGETING PROCESS TO
REALIZE THAT THAT IT LEAST THREE
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS OF
THAT FOUR BILLION THAT INCLUDES
THREE POINT SEVENTY R. C. P. IN
THREE AND A FIFTY GREAT STEPS.
THAT IT LEASE RAN FIFTEEN
MILLION OF THAT. CAN BE SPENT
TWO YEARS OUT. AND WILL YOU KNOW
WILL AND PROBABLY MORE. BUT
CERTAINLY NO LESS THAN THAT-
COULD IT WILL BE IT WILL BE
SPENT. OUTSIDE OF THE BUDGET
YEAR IN THE BUDGET YEAR PLUS ONE
WINDOW SO. WE'RE NOT PROPOSING
TO DELAY THE PROJECTS AS MUCH AS
WERE PROPOSING TO. ALIGN V. THE
BUDGET- MAP. TO MORE ACCURATELY
REFLECT WHERE WE'RE LIKELY TO
SPEND THAT MONEY AT THE TIME
WERE LIKELY TO SPEND. YOU KNOW
LET ME ASK THE L. A- FOLKS
MICELLAR SIR. MISTER MISTER SIR
THIS CAN REQUEST BUT HOW DOES IT
FEEL TO YOU- WITH RESPECT TO-
YOU KNOW ALL OF THE
CONVERSATIONS IN THE LEGISLATION
AROUND. SB ONE FUNNY DOES THIS
FEEL LIKE WE ARE HEADED IN A
DIRECTION THAT RUNS COUNTER. TO
THE EXPECTATION THAT WE CREATED.
I'M YEAH JUST TO CLARIFY ON THE
PUNCH THERE'S A FIVE AND MILLION
BUNCH FROM. THE GENERAL FUND TO
THE STATE HIGHWAY. THREE HUNDRED
MILLION WOULD BE FOR THE ACTIVE
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM- WHAT
YOU- INDICATED BEFORE AND TWO
HUNDRED MILLION WOULD BE FOR TWO
LOCAL CLIMATE ADAPTATION
PROGRAMS. UNDER FIFTY MILLION
FOR- I CAPITAL PROGRAM AND THEN
FIFTY MILLION FOR A PLANNING
PROGRAM- YOU ARE CORRECT SB ONE
INCREASE THE GAS TAX THE DIESEL
EXCISE TAX AND CREATED SOME NEW
VEHICLE FEES TO SUPPORT.
TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES AND
PROPOSITION SIXTY NINE- FURTHER
. DEDICATED YOU KNOW
TRANSPORTATION REVENUES TO
TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES MANY
CASES THIS INFRASTRUCTURE
PACKAGE IS SUPPORTING
TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES BUT IT'S
ULTIMATELY UP TO THE
LEGISLATURE'S HIGHEST PRIORITIES
IS IT- FUNDING HAVING SUSTAINING
FUNDING FOR SHOPPING DOING MORE
PROJECTS WITHIN SHOP OR ALLOWING
A ONE TIME SHIFT TO. COVER THESE
EXPENDITURES THAT HAVE ALREADY
BEEN APPROPRIATE IN MANY CASES
ALREADY UNDER WAY. THEN TELL ME
HOW YOU FEEL WHEN APPRECIATE
YOUR ANSWER. I'M SORRY YOUR
COULD TELL HOW SENATORS ZERO
WHEN I FEEL. THANK YOU. OKAY THE
. SENATE DO YOU WANNA FOLLOW UP
QUESTIONS TO THAT ARE CON NO I.
JUST DID MY FOLLOW UP IS- THE- I
KNOW EVERYBODY'S TRYING REAL
HARD IN THERE THEY'RE WORKING
WITH WHAT THEY'RE GIVEN. AND
SOMETIMES WHAT WE GIVE IS NOT
WHAT THE CITIZENS NEED- WE THINK
THEY NEED THAT WHAT THEY NEED IS
BETTER ROADS. AND MORE ROADS TO
ADEQUATELY MOVE THEM AROUND AND
LET THEM GET TO WORK WITHOUT
BEING KILLED AND- THEY'RE NOT
SEEING IT. AND THAT'S REALLY
FRUSTRATING TO THEM THERE'S A
TIME THEM I PEOPLE MY DISTRICT
ARE SO FRUSTRATED- WITH THEIR
NEW BURGEONING CITIES THEY CAN'T
KEEP UP THEY CAN'T KEEP UP WITH
THE PRICES THEY CAN'T KEEP UP
WITH ANY OF THAT WHEN WE TRY TO
FILL THE GAP. WITH SOME FUNDING
THAT'S AVAILABLE- THAT MONEY
INSTEAD GETS USED FOR YOU KNOW
REHABILITATING PARKS. FOR PETE'S
SAKE A MILLION A HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS IN MY DISTRICT WOULD FIX
A FEW REALLY REALLY DANGEROUS
ROADS. AND WE JUST CAN'T SEEM TO
GET IT AND THAT'S THE THAT'S
WHAT WE NEED TO. WE NEED A
SYSTEM A OF A WAVE BUDGETING
THAT WILL ALLOCATE SOME MONEY TO
GET SOME OF THOSE THINGS DONE.
AND AND I JUST I MEAN I DON'T
SEE IT IN THESE BUDGETS THAT ARE
COMING OUT THAT'S ALL THANK YOU
. DOES ANYBODY WANT TO RESPOND
IN THE SENSE OF. WHAT IS IT. IN
THIS BUDGET THAT COULD BE DONE
DIFFERENTLY TO ADDRESS THE
SENATORS. CONCERN. AT RETAILERS
WITH THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S
OFFICE. SENATOR I THINK I THINK
THE DISCUSSION THAT'S HAPPENING
HERE IS THE DIFFICULT AND
IMPORTANT ONE YOU ARE GOING TO
HAVE TO GRAPPLE WITH OVER THE
NEXT FEW MONTHS WHICH IS WE HAVE
LESS RESOURCES THAN. WE THOUGHT
WE WERE GOING TO LAST YEAR WHEN
WE MADE THIS MULTI YEAR PLANTS
AND SO REALLY IT COMES DOWN TO
WHAT ARE THE HIGHEST PRIORITIES
AND THAT NECESSARILY MEANS NOT
FUNDING SOME THINGS THAT THAT.
THAT WE HAD COMMITTED TO AND
THAT PEOPLE WERE EXPECTING THAT
ARE IMPORTANT TO SOME-
STAKEHOLDER SO WE'RE IN A GREAT
POSITION THAT WE HAVE FEDERAL
FUNDS TO HELP AUGMENT. OUR STATE
FUNDS BUT YOU ARE RIGHT TO THE
DEGREE WE AT REDUCE STATE FUNDS
BECAUSE WE HAVE FEDERAL FUNDS
IT'S LESS MONEY OVERALL THAN WE
THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO SO I
THINK IN ANSWER TO THE CHAIRS
QUESTION. IT'S REALLY YOU HAVE
ENOUGH RESOURCES TO FUND ALL OF
THESE IT JUST MEANS YOU HAVE TO
MAKE OTHER CHOICES ELSEWHERE IN
THE BUDGET IT IS A LARGE BUDGET
THERE ARE A LOT OF PROGRAMS
ACROSS UNIT WE WOULD RECOMMEND
YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT
TRANSPORTATION IN ITS OWN SILO.
IF YOU WANT TO PRIORITIZE
TRANSPORTATION ACROSS OTHER
AREAS YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND
SOLUTIONS ELSEWHERE GIVEN THE
RESOURCES AND AS MY COLLEAGUE
MENTIONED WE THINK. ACTUALLY A
WORSENING FORECAST- BUT THERE'S
CERTAINLY ENOUGH GENERAL FUND
AND FEDERAL FUNDS TO FUND ALL OF
THESE. ALL OF THESE
TRANSPORTATION PRIORITIES BEFORE
YOU IT JUST MEANS YOU'LL HAVE TO
FIND SOLUTIONS ELSEWHERE. THE
FROM LA OWES PERSPECTIVE OF.
ANYBODY WHO THOUGHT THAT WE ARE
GOING TO CONTINUE. TO GET ONE
TIME FUNDING FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT FOR CODE RED WHICH
BOOSTED OUR- OUR- SURPLUS TO
NINETY SEVEN AND A HALF BILLION
DOLLARS LAST YEAR. ANYBODY WHO
BUDGETED THINKING THAT THAT'S
GOING TO GO FORWARD IN IN. IN IN
CONTINUE IN VARIOUS YEARS. AND
WE'VE- BUDGETING ON THAT AND
COUNTING ON THAT- THAT'S JUST
FOOLISH. WHAT WHAT I THINK. IS
THAT THREE YEARS AGO- WE HAVE
ABOUT THIRTY TO FIFTY BILLION
DOLLARS. LESS THAN WE HAVE TODAY
THAT WE DO ANTICIPATE GOING
FORWARD. AND SO THAT'S A
BUDGETING PRIORITY FOR US THE
LEGISLATURE. TO RE TO REALLY GET
A HANDLE ON. AND AND SO YOU KNOW
I. I DISAGREE TO THE DEGREE THAT
. WE PROBABLY SHOULDN'T HAVE
BEEN TRYING TO YOU. TRYING TO
CARVE UP THE WHOLE NINETY SEVEN
HOW BILLION DOLLARS. BUT YOU
KNOW WE STILL HAVE A LOT MORE
GOING FORWARD THEN WE HAD THREE
YEARS AGO. AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO ADDRESS SOME OF THESE. HIGHER
WHICH SHOULD BE HIGHER PRIORITY
ISSUES AND TRANSPORTATION IS ONE
OF THOSE HIGH PRIORITY ISSUES SO
THANK YOU VERY MUCH YEAH I THINK
IT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT THAT WE
STILL HAVE A LOT MORE GENERAL
FUND THEN WE DID A FEW YEARS AGO
AND THE LEGISLATURE. AND
GOVERNOR WORK VERY HARD M. TWO
AGAIN CRAFT ONE TIME SPENDING
PACKAGES AND NOT COMMIT WHAT WE
WHAT WE CAN AND IT WAS GOING TO
BE A SHORT TERM FUNDING FOR LONG
TERM ONGOING SO THAT THAT. IN
SOME WAYS MAKES THINGS EASIER
BUT WE DID MAKE SOME COMMITMENTS
FOR ONE TIME EXPENDITURES AND SO
AS A RESULT REDUCING THOSE
INTENDED ONE TIME EXPENDITURES
DOES DOES FEEL A DIFFICULT.
THANK YOU ALL. I DO HAVE A UP A
FEW OTHER QUESTIONS. THIS IS
BASED ON THE T. I. R. C. P.
FUNDS. SO I THINK THAT'S- THERE
IS. WHEN I LOOKED AT THE
ALEJO'S. CHART HERE. RAGGING
ABOUT YOUR YOUR CHART. SO IT
MADE VERY CLEAR SOME CHART. OF
THE POPULATION BASED D. A. R. C.
P. AND THEN THERE'S THE REGULAR
T. I. R. C. P. AND THE REGULAR
TODAY ARE C. P. HAD NO CUTS TO
IT. THE POPULATION BASED HERESY
P. HAD MAJOR CUTS. TO IT. SO MY
QUESTION IS- THE IMPACT. IN
TERMS OF. WHERE IN CALIFORNIA.
DOES THAT THE IMPACT OF TAKING
THE TWO BILLION OUT OF
POPULATION BASED LIKE WHO DOES
THAT TO. WHO GETS SERVED YOU
KNOW WHAT IS FUNDING GO BETWEEN
THESE TWO AND WHAT'S THE IMPACT
OF MAKING. THE ONLY CUT TO THE
POPULATION BASED TERROR CP. THAT
MIGHT BE- MISTER QUANT OR NO
SIMPLE TO DEFER TO MY COLLEAGUE-
CHIEF DEPUTY SECRETARY FOR REAL
INTRANSIGENT EDISON. THANK YOU.
I'M FOR FIRST OF ALL THAT THE-
THE TNC P. THAT IS THE THREE
POINT SIX THREE BILLION DOLLARS.
IS- IS IN A BUDGET YEAR TWENTY
ONE TWENTY TWO. AND THAT MONEY
IS WHAT IS ALREADY GOING THROUGH
A PROCESS OF BEING PUT OUT TO
PROJECTS AND MANY OF THEM
EXISTING PROJECTS THAT NEEDED
MORE FUNDING IN ORDER TO GET
INTO CONSTRUCTION IN ORDER TO
GET FEDERAL FUNDING. SO THAT
GOES OUT THROUGHOUT THE STATE IT
WAS AS DIVIDED ROUGHLY SIXTY
FORTY BETWEEN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND THE REST OF THE
STATE. I'M IN THE BUDGET AND-
THAT IS GOING OUT ON A
GEOGRAPHICALLY BALANCED BASIS
THROUGHOUT TO HAVE BOTH OF THOSE
REGIONS- THE MONEY THAT'S NOT A
FORMULA BASIS IS POPULATION
BASED AND SO EVERY EVERY.
REGIONAL BODY IN THE STATE THAT
GETS- POPULATION BASED MONEY-
IS- IS GETTING THAT FOR EXAMPLE
OUT OF THE FOUR BILLION DOLLARS
L. A. COUNTY GETS AROUND A
BILLION DOLLARS OF THAT- AND
THAT FUNDING IS FOR THE SAME
KINDS OF PROJECTS SO IT WOULDN'T
ALLOW. YOU KNOW THE KINDS OF
PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING OUT IN
THIS CURRENT THREE POINT SIX
THREE BILLION DOLLARS- LIST TO
RECEIVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO
FUND ADDITIONAL PROJECTS THAT
EACH OF THESE TRANSIT AGENCIES
ARE PURSUING- AND SO- IT HAS A
SIMILAR. A FACT- BUT BUT
BASICALLY THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THE TWO FUNDING SOURCES THAT ONE
IS IN. THE PAST BUDGET YEAR AND
IS CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH
SOLICITATION APPLICATIONS THE
FORMULA BASED MONEY IS FOR EACH
REGIONAL BODY. A TO RECEIVE AND
THEN FOR THAT REGION TO MAKE ITS
DECISIONS ABOUT HOW THOSE FUNDS
WOULD GET DISTRIBUTED TO
PROJECTS IN THEIR IN THEIR
JURISDICTIONS. I'M SORRY THE
LAST ONE WHICH ONE IS THAT SO
SAID OF THE POPULATION BASE
MONEY. GOES. OUT TO EACH COUNTY
. OR SIMILAR BODY WITHIN THE RE
. AND IS A- TO- PROJECTS SIMILAR
TO THE ONE ONES THAT ARE BEING
AWARDED RIGHT NOW SO IT WOULD BE
GOING TO MORE LIGHT RAIL LINES
WOULD GO INTO MORE BUS BUS
PROJECTS COULD GO INTO. AND IT
COULD GO INTO- YEP SUBWAY
EXTENSIONS ETCETERA. YEAH AND
THEN WHEN YOU SAID THERE WAS A
SIXTY FORTY WHAT IS. WORDED
SIXTY EIGHT WHO GET SIXTEEN WHO
GET ON IN AB ONE EIGHTY I'M THEY
DIVIDED ON THE THREE POINT SIX
THREE BILLION DOLLARS WAS
DIVIDED INTO INTO A SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA PORTION WHICH WERE
THE SEVEN COUNTIES IN THIS GAG
AND- SANDAG REGIONS. I'M DOWN
SOUTH VENTURA COUNTY I'M ALL THE
WAY DOWN TO IMPERIAL AND SAN
DIEGO COUNTIES. AND THEN THE
THAN THE OTHER 40% WAS FOR THE
REST OF THE STATE. SO THERE WAS
THERE WAS- THERE'S ABOUT ONE AND
A HALF BILLION DOLLARS FOR THE
REST OF THE STATE IN THE BALANCE
WAS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
ACCOUNTANTS OKAY- OKAY FOR THANK
YOU APPRECIATE THAT YEAH IT
WOULD BE- I WOULD REALLY
APPRECIATE THERE WAS SOME WAY OF
. SHOWING THE SPECIFIC PROJECTS
HOW THEY ENDED UP ACROSS THE
STATE BECAUSE SOMETIMES. RIGHT
ALL THESE NUMBERS LOOK GOOD. BUT
IN TERMS OF WHO ACTUALLY GETS-
SERVICED AND THE BENEFIT OF IT
ISN'T. EXACTLY THE SAME AS WHAT
IT APPEARS TO BE SO I'D
APPRECIATE SOMETHING. SHOWS THAT
THANK YOU- AND INTO WITH- I
THINK IT'S MISTER. MISTER QUANT-
JUST SOME QUESTIONS ON OF. ON
THE ISSUES OF- QUALITY OF THE OF
THE JOBS. IF YOU HAVE- IF YOU
CAN PROVIDE INFORMATION AS TO
THE KINDS OF. THE KINDS OF THE
WAY THAT WE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT
WE ARE. INVESTING IN JOBS- OF
THAT WOULD. YOU KNOW USUALLY
THERE'S SOME SORT OF- STANDARD
LABOR STANDARDS- THAT YOU CAN
ATTACH TO THE CONTRACTS- AND I'M
NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT
CONSTRUCTION TALK ABOUT ANYTHING
THAT. THAT WE PAY FOR ANYTHING
THAT WE INVEST IN BUT LABOR
STANDARDS- WHAT MAKES THEM
ENFORCEABLE- WITHIN THE
CONTRACT. SURE SO THE
ADMINISTRATION DOESN'T CURRENTLY
HAVE REQUIRE LABOR STANDARDS OR
OTHER ENFORCEABLE JOB
COMMITMENTS AND ON THE T. R. J.
R. C. P. PROJECT GUIDELINES
HOWEVER THE GUIDELINES DO USE
BENEFITS TO PRIORITY POPULATIONS
WHICH CAN BE DEMONSTRATED
THROUGH COMMUNITY WORKFORCE
AGREEMENTS OR- LABOR AGREEMENTS
WITH UNIONS AS AN ADDITIONAL
EVALUATION CRITERIA- ON THE
APPLICATIONS- REVIEWS SO. I'M
PROJECT APPLICATIONS
DEMONSTRATE- THESE BENEFITS THEY
SCORE HIGHER IN THE COMPETITIVE
APPLICATION- AND SELECTION
PROCESS ALSO ALL NOTE THAT TIME
ALL PROJECTS THAT USE FEDERAL
FUNDS. ALREADY HAVE MANY LABOR
STANDARDS AND WORKFORCE
REQUIREMENTS TIED TO THE
FEDERAL. GRANT FUNDS INCLUDING
LOCAL HIRED- DISADVANTAGED
BUSINESS ENTERPRISE AND OTHER
REQUIREMENTS SO THAT'S THAT'S
BASICALLY- WHAT WE HAVE. AT AND
DO YOU HAVE A WAY THAT YOU SUM
IT ALL UP OR YOU COULD SAY AS A
RESULT OF ALL THESE INVESTMENTS
THIS IS WHERE AND HOW- IT'S
RESULTED IN GOOD PAYING JOBS ARE
YOU OVERHEAD NOW TURN THIS OVER
TO. MY COLLEAGUE OF CHATTERS YES
SO- SENATOR IN EACH OF THE
APPLICATIONS THAT COMES INTO US-
DOCUMENTS THE- THE PRESENCE OF
HAVE LABOR AGREEMENTS AND- AND
JOB STANDARDS ON THESE PROJECTS.
AND AND WE DO TRACK FOR BOTH
CARBON OUR PURPOSES ON THE
CREATION OF JOBS AND THE NATURE
OF THOSE JOBS. TO THE EXTENT
THAT AN APPLICATION COMES IN AND
SHOWS THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE
HAVING I'M HIGH QUALITY JOBS- IN
VARIOUS WAYS ON THEIR PROJECT WE
WOULD HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE TO
DELIVERING ON BACK IN ACTUALLY
IMPLEMENTING THAT IF THEY SAT IN
THEIR APPLICATION. IN ADDITION
THERE FEDERAL PARTNERS I'M
ALMOST ALWAYS- YOU DON'T IF
THEY'RE USING FEDERAL FUNDS
WHICH MOST OF THE PROJECTS DO.
THEY HAVE MANY FEDERAL
REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE IN SOME
CASES MORE STRINGENT THAN WHAT
WE SEE IN A LOT OF THE STATE
STATE STATE PROGRAMS. SO I THINK
YOU KNOW BETWEEN THE TWO- WE
HAVE WE HAVE BOTH AN
ENCOURAGEMENT HIGHER RATINGS ON
PROJECTS THAT DEMONSTRATE THIS.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE JOB
REPORTING THAT HAPPENS BOTH FOR
CARBS PURPOSES AND FOR OUR
PROGRAM. AND THEN WE HAVE THE
FEDERAL THE FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS
THAT ARE YOU KNOW COUPLED WITH
WITH- WITH MANY OF THESE
PROJECTS BECAUSE THEY'RE BEING
IMPLEMENTED BY AGENCIES THAT ARE
SPENDING FEDERAL DOLLARS. OKAY.
AND IS THERE A WAY OF GETTING.
SOME REPORT THAT ON. OKAY YEAH
IT WOULD IT WITH THE JOB THE JOB
REPORTING THAT IS LIKE
AUTOMATICALLY DONE BY THESE
PROJECTS IS THE EASIEST TO COME
OUT WITH AND THAT WILL HAVE SOME
OF THE ANSWERS THAT YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR. AND SO FOR PROJECTS
THAT ARE ACTIVELY UNDER
CONSTRUCTION ARE STARTING TO
REPORT THESE REQUIREMENTS. THOSE
ARE THOSE ARE ONES THAT WE GET
ON A REGULAR BASIS I'M THRILLED
REQUIRED REPORTING. FOR PROJECTS
THAT HAVEN'T YET STARTED
CONSTRUCTION HAVEN'T STARTED
REPORTING TO US THAT WOULD
REQUIRE GOING INTO SPECIFIC
APPLICATIONS AND REPORTING OUT
THAT INFORMATION AND SO. IT CAN
BE DONE BUT- SOME OF THIS IS IT
WOULD BE GOING BACK TO THE
APPLICATION TO PULL OUT THE
INFORMATION- AND IS THIS- PRETTY
MUCH. ON JUST THE CONSTRUCTION
JOBS OR IS IT. BEYOND THE
CONSTRUCTION JOBS THROUGH THE
PROCUREMENT PROCESS IS THERE
ANY. ANYTHING ON THAT FRONT. YES
SO THERE IS- BROADER THERE THERE
IS MORE THAN JUST THE DIRECT
CONSTRUCTION JOBS REQUIRED IN
THE IN THE REPORTING THAT WE-
YOU KNOW COMBINED WITH CARBON-
IF THERE'S BOTH DIRECT AND
INDIRECT THERE'S ALSO YOU KNOW
THERE'S ALSO- SOME OF THESE
AGENCIES ARE DOING WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES AS PART
OF THE PROJECT. AND SO WE HAVE
THAT INFORMATION- AGAIN SOME OF
THIS IS LIKE IF IN STANDARDIZED
REPORTS IN OTHER PARTS ARE LIKE
TIED TO A SPECIFIC PROJECT AND
WOULD BE THAT IN A- DATA
REQUESTED OF THE AGENCY. GREAT
THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
OKAY. I'M ON THE ISSUE OF
TRANSIT- IS THAT. THIS IS
APPROPRIATE TIME FOR THAT- WE
UNDERSTAND THAT- TRANSIT
OPERATIONS- HEARD FROM A LOT OF.
AGENCIES ABOUT THE DIFFICULTIES
AND GETTING TO A IN SOME PLACES
COULD BE GETTING TOOK A CRISIS
MODE- SO WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT TO DO ABOUT THAT I KNOW
THAT LESS OF OUR FUNDS RIGHT
SMALLER PERCENTAGE OF OUR FUNDS
GO TO TRANSIT. OPERATIONS BUT I
LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU IN TERMS
OF WHAT- WHAT. FLEXIBILITY DO
YOU SEE THAT'S AVAILABLE TO US
TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT.
WHETHER IT'S FOR A SHORT TERM- I
KNOW IT'S NOT A SHORT TERM
PROBLEM IT'S PROBABLY A LONG
TERM PROBLEM BUT WHAT ARE YOUR
THOUGHTS AS FAR AS HOW WE CAN
ADDRESS THAT. GROWING CRISIS.
THE ADMINISTRATION IS AWARE OF
THE CHALLENGES TRANSIT OPERATORS
ARE FACING- TODAY'S TRANSIT
ENVIRONMENT- AS YOU MENTIONED
THE FUNDING WELL AS THE SO THE
FUNDING THAT WAS APPROPRIATED
FOR INFRASTRUCTURE WAS ONE TIME.
AND AS YOU MENTIONED IT WASN'T
INTENDED AS A ONE TIME BASIS AND
THAT TRANSIT OPERATIONS PROBLEMS
AN ONGOING PROBLEM- AND SO WHILE
THE BUDGET DID NOT MAKE ANY-
PROVISIONS TO ALLOW THIS FUNDING
TO BE USED FOR OPERATIONAL
EXPENSES- WE DO HOPE TO CONTINUE
WORKING WITH TRANSIT OPERATORS
AND STAKEHOLDERS TO DEVELOP
SOLUTIONS IN CONSULTATION WITH
THE LEGISLATURE. THAT'LL
PRESERVE I MEAN FOR THE STATE'S
TRANSIT SYSTEM AND WORK TOWARDS
A LONG TERM FINANCIAL STABILITY
. I WOULD I WOULD ADD TO THAT
ALSO THAT THE- GETTING STABLE
CAPITAL FUNDING INTO PROJECTS
OFTEN RELIEVE SOME PRESSURE ON
FUNDS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE
DIVERTED FROM OPERATIONS BY SOME
OF THE LOCAL AGENCIES YOU KNOW
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND SO.
DEPENDING ON THE SPECIFIC
AGENCY- SOME OF THE STABILITY OF
CAPITAL FUNDING AND GETTING
THOSE PROJECTS FULLY FUNDED
BELIEVES OTHER PRESSURES ON
THEIR BUDGETS- THERE ARE. ALSO
ENOUGH FOR ME FORMULA FUNDS THAT
ARE FLOWING I'M IN SOME OF THOSE
ARE FLOWING AT HIGHER LEVELS
RIGHT NOW THAT THAT BECAUSE OF
THE YOU KNOW HI HI DIESEL DIESEL
SALES TAX PRICES UNCERTAINTIES
DIESEL PRICES AND SO FORTH THOSE
FUNDS ARE INCREASING. AND YEAH
AND SO THERE IS SOME. SOME AND
NATURAL INCREASE HAPPENING IN IN
FUNDS FLOWING TO THE RETURN
AGENCIES THROUGH THOSE RESOURCES
. GOOD AND LIKE I SAID THAT
BECAUSE THESE TWO DOLLAR COULD
HEAR. BUT THAT DOESN'T COME OUT
OF OPERATIONS NO I'M SAYING IS
THAT IT HELPS TO RELIEVE. THE
PRESSURE. CAPITAL FUNDING THAT
WE HAVE DONE. THRILLED REALLY
PUT TWO BILLION DOLLARS BACK IN
. RIGHT THANK YOU. CODES AND
CODE TWO ONE. OKAY I DON'T THINK
I HAVE ANYTHING. THANK YOU CAN.
YEAH. TWENTY SEVENTH CONSISTENT
. OKAY THIS. OKAY COLLEAGUES
NUMBER QUESTIONS COMMENTS. NO
OKAY. THANK YOU THANK YOU ALL

THOUGHTFULLY DEPLOY FUNDING TO
ESTABLISH A CAL. THE CALIFORNIA
CONTAINERIZED IMPORTS DATA
INTEROPERATE BILITY GRANT
PROGRAM. WHICH IS CURRENTLY
UNDER DEVELOPMENT. THE GRANT
PROGRAM WILL PROVIDE FUNDING TO
PORTS FOR TARGETED INVESTMENTS.
TO UPDATE UP OUTDATED
INFRASTRUCTURE AND DATA
RESOURCES. GO BUSINESS PROGRAM
IS NOW VIEWED AS BEING A MODEL
NATIONWIDE AS THERE'S NO FUNDING
OR EFFORT LIKE THIS ONE. IN THE
SUPPLY CHAIN ECOSYSTEM ACROSS
THE NATION. WE KNOW THAT THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS ALSO
WORKING TO IMPROVE DATA AND
TRANSPARENCY FOR PARTS. WE HAVE
BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH OUR
FEDERAL COUNTERPARTS. TO ENSURE
CALIFORNIA'S GRANT PROGRAM WILL
ALIGN WITH. AND COMPLEMENT THE
POLICY GOALS THE FEDERAL
PROGRAM. AND THE CALIFORNIA'S
GRANT PROGRAM WILL BE
COMPETITIVE FOR ADDITIONAL
FEDERAL FUNDING. LASTLY GO
VISITING AGED WITH ALL OF THE K.
CONTAINERIZED PORTS. AND IS
CURRENTLY DEVELOPING A
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING.
THAT WILL CONFIRM THE INTENT OF
ALL SIGNING PARTIES TO WORK
TOWARD A COMMON GOAL OF
ACHIEVING DATA INTER OPERABILITY
AND VANSON CLOUD BASED DATA
SYSTEMS. AS A MEANS OF IMPROVING
PORK SYSTEM RESILIENCE. GOODS
MOVEMENT EFFICIENCY. EMISSIONS
REDUCTIONS. ECONOMIC
COMPETITIVENESS AND SUPPORT PORT
SYSTEM USERS. WE ANTICIPATE THE
M. A YOU TO BE EXECUTED BY APRIL
THIS YEAR I WILL BE THE FIRST OF
ITS KIND. THAT CONCLUDES THE
IMPLEMENTATION UPDATES TO EACH
COMPONENT SUPPLY CHAIN
RESILIENCY INFRASTRUCTURE
PACKAGE. NOW I WILL BRIEFLY
PRESENT THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL
RELATED TO THE SPENDING. WELL
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET IS NOT
PROPOSING REDUCTIONS. TO THE
SUPPLY CHAIN IMPORTS PACKAGE.
THE BUDGET PROPOSES TO SPREAD
THE SIX HUNDRED MILLION FOR
PORTRAYED. AND GOOD MOVEMENT
INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN FOR
PREPARATION TWENTY THREE TWENTY
FOUR EVENLY ACROSS THREE FISCAL
YEARS TWO HUNDRED MILLION
ANNUALLY. FROM. TWENTY TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR TO TWENTY FIVE
TWENTY SIX. WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE
THIS PROPOSAL HAVE ANY
SIGNIFICANT SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS
TO PROJECTS. AS THESE LARGE
MULTI YEAR INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECTS WILL LIKELY INCREASE
MANAGERS ACROSS MULTIPLE FISCAL
YEARS. SIMILAR TO THE GRADE
SEPARATIONS PROPOSAL THE
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
PACKAGE THE PROPOSAL ALIGNS THE
AVAILABILITY OF THE FUNDING.
WITH THE ANTICIPATED RECEIPT OF
ASSOCIATED EXPENDITURES. THAT
CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION- MY
COLLEAGUES AND I ARE HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY
HAVE. THANK YOU A MYSTERY MENACE
- MANY OF OUR COMMENTS FOR THE
SUPPLY CHAIN PACKAGE MERE THOSE
THAT WE MADE IN THE
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
PACKAGE- OVERALL THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET PRIORITIZE THIS IS
SUSTAINING FUNDING FOR PROGRAMS
WITHIN THE SUPPLY CHAIN PACKAGE
THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN
APPROPRIATED. SO IF YOU LOOK ON
PAGE NINETEEN OF YOUR AGENDA
THAT'S GOING TO BE THE AMOUNTS
IN TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE AM-
WE FIND THIS APPROACH SHOULD BE
REASONABLE GIVEN THAT MANY OF
THESE PROGRAMS HAVE ALREADY
BEGUN ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
FROM LOCAL AGENCIES ARE. HAVE
STARTED TO AWARD- FUNDING- IN
THIS- PACKAGE IN PARTICULAR WE
RECOMMEND THAT THE LEGISLATURE
DIRECT ADMINISTRATION TO NOT
SOLICIT APPLICATIONS AND AWARD
FUNDING BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE
GRANT SPENDING AUTHORITY-
CALLUSES IN THE PROCESS OF
AWARDING THE SIX HUNDRED M.
MILLION AGREED TO IN THE BUDGET
YEAR FOR THE PORT AND FREIGHT
INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM- I THINK
THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN. OUR
DISCUSSION IN THE TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE ON THE-
CLEAN CALIFORNIA PROGRAM-
CALTRANS IS IN THE PROCESS OF
SOLICITING APPLICATIONS AND WILL
AWARD FUNDING IN THE BUDGET
YEAR- FOR THE PORT AND FREIGHT
INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM CALLOUSED
IS IN THE PROCESS OF ACTUALLY
AWARDING THOSE FUNDS IN IN THE
CURRENT YEAR. EVEN THOUGH THAT'S
BUDGET YOUR FUNDING- WE NOTE
THAT THIS FINDING IS ALSO
PROPOSED TO BE DELAYED UNDER THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL THE SIX
HUNDRED MILLION WOULD NOW BE.
TWO HUNDRED MILLION EACH YEAR
FROM. TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR
TO TWENTY FIVE TWENTY SIX- ALL
THIS OUT YOUR FUNDING WAS AGREED
TO IT IS NOT BEEN APPROPRIATED
BY THE LEGISLATURE AND IS STILL
SUBJECT TO ADJUSTMENTS BASED ON.
CHANGING LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES
AS I MENTIONED THE
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
PACKAGE WE FIND THIS TO BE VERY
IMPORTANT IN A YEAR WHERE THE
LEGISLATURE FACES A BUDGET
PROBLEM. WE FIND THAT THE
PREMATURE ACTION TOWARD FUNDING
BEFORE IT IS APPROPRIATE
APPROPRIATED CREATES A DYNAMIC
WHERE THE LEGISLATURE WOULD THEN
NEED TO CONSIDER WHETHER. IT
SHOULD CUT FUNDING- BACK HOUSE
THAT HAS ALREADY PROMISED TO
LOCAL AGENCIES- THIS PLACES THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PERSON
POTENTIAL RESULTING DISRUPTIONS
ON THE LEGISLATURE SO STROLLERS.
DESPITE THE FACT IT WAS THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PREMATURE
ACTIONS THAT CREATED THIS
EXPECTATION AT THE LOCAL LEVEL
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU THANK YOU
VERY MUCH- DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
STILWELL'S. DEMOCRATS WE WILL.
ANAHIT OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THE NEWS
THAT OKAY WELL THAT LAST POINT
THAT WAS MADE- FOR CAL STAR. IF
YOU COULD PLEASE ADDRESS THAT
WHY DID MINISTRATION IS A
WARNING FUNDING THAT'S NOT YET
APPROPRIATED. SURE THANK YOU FOR
THE QUESTION- SO SIMILAR TO THE
RESPONSE AND THAT THE-
TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT
INFRASTRUCTURE TEST MONTH
FUNDING FOR THE ABORTION
EDUCATION PROJECTS IS TYPICALLY
AWARDED ON A MULTI YEAR BASIS-
WHEN IS NOT GENERAL FUND. I MEAN
IF ONLY HALF OF THE FUNDING HAD
BEEN MADE AVAILABLE LIKELY WOULD
HAVE DETERRED THE AMOUNT OF
PROJECTS THAT WE GET FOR- FOR
THIS FUNDING. AND ADDITIONALLY
WE STRUCTURED THE PROGRAM.
MAKING THE ENTIRE ONE POINT TWO
BILLION AVAILABLE TO BETTER
POSITION THE STATE TO COMPETE
FOR FEDERAL FUNDS. AND MAXIMIZE
THE AVAILABLE FEDERAL FUNDING
FOR THE ACA WHICH CONSISTENT
WITH STATUTORY LEGISLATIVE
STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS
LEGISLATIVE INTENT- SEE I DIDN'T
THAT'S THAT'S WHY WE- WE'RE
PURSUING THAT. I THANK YOU. YES
MA'AM. AND I'M SORRY SO- OUR
ANALYSIS NOTES DO YOU NEED THE-
THAT KOBE'S RECEIVED THIRTY
MILLION DOLLARS SUPPORT
OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS. THAT
THAT HAVE YET TO BE EXPENDITURE
PROGRAMS- ED CHAU BUT TO THE L.
A. O. FIRST WITH YOUR
RECOMMENDATION BE THAT THE MONEY
BE REDIRECTED FOR OTHER PURPOSES
- IT'S OUR UNDERSTANDING THAT
THAT FUNDING AS- COLESCOTT
MENTIONED- THAT. IT'S IN THE
PROCESS OF BEING AWARDED- ACROSS
THE STATE- I WOULD DEFER TO THE
APARTMENT ON THE EXACT
IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE BUT IT
IS A CURRENT YEAR APPROPRIATION
AND THAT FUNDING IS IN THE
PROCESS OF- BEING AWARDED OUT.
AND SO I GUESS TO THE U. OF M.
V. YOU'RE CONFIDENT THAT WE'LL
BE ABLE PROGRAM IS FUNDS DURING.
AT A PROPERTY IN A ROLE IN AND
APPLY THEM IN SOME WAY THAT
USEFUL AS OPPOSED TO USING FOR
THEM FOR SOMETHING ELSE. AT IT'S
A- THAT'S A YES. OKAY FIVE. I
THANK YOU. OKAY WHAT OVER TO GO
BUSINESS OF. ALL OF US MY ARE
WHAT WOULD TO GO- THERE IS A
THERE WAS CA- THERE'S A- IT WAS
MENTIONED ABOUT INSTEAD. CUP TO
IMPLEMENT THE GROWTH GRANT
PROGRAM INTERNALLY- YEAH- RIGHT
SO THERE THEY'RE RIGHT THEY'RE
HIRED A CONTRACT BECAUSE THEY
DON'T HAVE THAT INTERNAL
CAPACITY TO DO THAT- WILL THE
COST OF ITS- SEGWAYS FROM
SENATOR NEWMAN WILL THE COST OF
THE CONTRACT- DECREASE THE
AMOUNT OF FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR
THE GRANTS. DEFER TO MY
COLLEAGUE FROM. THE PAST. GOOD
MORNING AND- HI MY NAME IS JAY
BRADLEY ON THE W. DIRECTOR FOR
SUSTAINABLE FREIGHT AND SUPPLY
CHAIN AT GOBIZ- AND THANK YOU
FOR THE QUESTION SENATOR I'M
HAPPY TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON THIS
PROGRAM WHICH IS IN A VERY
DYNAMIC- TIME HERE AT THE-
NATIONAL LEVEL AND HONESTLY AT
THE GLOBAL LEVEL- FOR THE
IMPLEMENTATION PHASE IN THE
PERIOD IS THAT THERE WILL NO-
USING AN INTERMEDIARY OR HAVING
INTERMEDIARY COME ON TO SUPPORT
US IN THIS WORK- WILL NOT
DIMINISH THE AMOUNT OF THE AWARD
BECAUSE THAT AMOUNT THAT WE ARE
USING. IS ALLOCATED IN THE
ADMINISTRATION PORTION OF THOSE
FUNDS AND THE REASON THAT WE
MADE THE SWITCH OVER TO THAT IS
BECAUSE OF CHALLENGES IN THE
STATE HIRING- WE WANTED TO BUILD
THE STAFF RIGHT NOW THIS UNIT
WITHIN GO THIS IS JUST A UNIT OF
MY ONLY MYSELF. A WORKING ON
THIS TOPIC ALONG WITH ALL THE
OTHER- YOU KNOW REQUIREMENTS ARE
OFFICE ACROSS SUPPLY CHAIN
ECOSYSTEM IN THE STATE AND DOING
RESPONSE- TO MOLD WHICH IS BUT-
THE PIECES THAT WE ARE ALSO
EVALUATING AND YOU KNOW THERE
WAS A REALLY THE- DEEP
DISCUSSION WITH THE LEGISLATURE
AT THE TIME THAT THIS IS- TO
TAKE THIS- PROGRAM STRATEGICALLY
AND- WITH A LOT OF. THOUGHT IN
THE PROCESS AND HENCE WHY THE
FUNDING WINDOW IN THE AMOUNT OF
THE ALLOCATION AND WHEN IT CAN
BE ENCUMBERED SO LONG- THAT
PIECE WAS REALLY MADE WITH THE
IDEA THAT. THIS IS A VERY EARLY
PIONEERING SPACE- WHICH IS WHY
WE'RE WORKING SO CLOSELY WITH
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT- ON IT.
THERE IS NO FEDERAL EQUIVALENT
IN FUNDING TO THIS PROGRAMME-
BUT THERE WE ARE NOW WORKING
HAND IN HAND WITH THEM BECAUSE
IN A WAY. OUR WORK IN THE AM OWE
YOU THAT THE LEGISLATURE
REQUIRED WITHIN THIS- FUNDING IS
KIND OF NOW BEING SEEN AS A
MODEL FOR DELIVERING ON
STANDARDS FOR- DATA AT. PORTS SO
IT'S A- VERY DYNAMIC TIME IN THE
SPACE BUT THE M. O. U. EXECUTION
WILL HAPPEN- NEXT MONTH- AS
REQUIRED UNDER THE STATUTE. AND
FUNDING WILL BE DISTRIBUTED- THE
THIS YEAR. SO HAVE YOU
IDENTIFIED THE- CONTRACTOR. SO
WE ARE IN THAT WERE IN THAT RACE
WHAT THE- PARAMETERS OF THE
RESPONSIBILITIES ARE. WE ARE IN
THAT PROCESS RIGHT NOW OF
IDENTIFICATION SO OUR OF P.
PROCESS- AND THE BUT THE
PARAMETERS IN THE REQUIREMENTS
OF THE CONTRACTOR OF ALL BEEN
LAID OUT. CAN YOU REMIND ME WHAT
THE USE MENTION THAT MINISTRY TO
FREE IS THAT. THERE WAS IN IN
THE TOTAL WERE MADE BECAUSE I
ASKED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT IT
WOULD TAKE- FUNDING AWAY FOR THE
GRANTS. IT WOULD NOT TAKE ANY
FUNDING AWAY FROM THE GRANTS
THERE IS A PORTION OF THE TOTAL
AMOUNT OF FUNDS THAT WAS
ALLOCATED FOR ADMINISTRATION OF
THE FUNDS- WE REALLY WANTED TO
USE A- PORTION OF THAT TO HIGHER
ON MORE STAFF WITHIN GO BASE TO
BUILD THIS KNOWLEDGE EXPERTISE.
AT THE STATE LEVEL- IN IN OUR
STATE DEPARTMENT BUT- THERE'S
CHALLENGES THE STATE HIRING SO
PRIORITY SHIFT- AT THE END OF
THE YEAR- JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE'RE ABLE TO DELIVER ON THE
FUNDS IN A TIMELY MANNER. COULD
YOU TELL ME HOW MUCH THE FEES
ARE. FOR THE BIRDS AND IT'S WHAT
IS. THE AMOUNT. THE PERCENTAGES
OF 3% OF THE TOTAL FUNDS THAT
ARE ELIGIBLE THESE FOR
MINISTRATION BUT- WE- EXPECT THE
CONTRACT NOT TO BE- YOU KNOW AS
MUCH AS HIRING STATE STAFF IT
WILL ACTUALLY BE A LESSER
AMOUNT. SO WE WILL ENOUGH AND
AFFECTING LIKELY HAVE MORE FUNDS
AVAILABLE FROM THE TOTAL POOL.
OKAY OKAY. ARMED WITH REGARDS.
TO JUST THE- OF FROM CAL STATE-
THE FUNDING FOR THE PORT
INFRASTRUCTURE AND THEN THERE
WAS FUNDING FOR. TRANSIT
INFRASTRUCTURE- COULD YOU. TELL
ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT
THEY'RE THE RATIONALE THAT. THE
THOUGHT THAT WENT INTO-
PRESERVING THE FUNDS. IN ONE AND
REDUCING THE FUNDS IN THE OTHER.
SURE THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION
I'M SURE. THE T. R. C. P.
PROGRAM HAS ITS OWN DEDICATED
FUNDING SOURCE AND AN ONGOING
PROGRAM. THE FUNDING THAT WE
APPROPRIATED FOR THE PORTS AND
SUPPLY CHAIN WAS REALLY A ONE
TIME INVESTMENT- THAT WAS MEANT
TO ADDRESS CRITICAL SUPPLY CHAIN
IMPORTANT FOR STRUCTURE NEEDS
AND REALLY TO MAINTAIN.
CALIFORNIA PORT COMPETITIVENESS
FOR YEARS TO COME AND SO WE
FIGURED THAT THAT WOULD PROBABLY
BE YOU KNOW WE WOULD START WITH
TEARS UP PROGRAM AND LEAVE THESE
FUNDS AS AS. OKAY WITH REGARDS
TO THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT-
COULD YOU. AND THE AND THE
CAMPUS COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT A
LITTLE BIT MORE. WHAT'S THE
EXPECTED TIMELINE OF THE PROJECT
AND- YOU KNOW THE IMPORTANCE
IMPLEMENTATION STATUS I WILL
DEFER TO MY COLLEAGUE FROM THE
CALIFORNIA WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
BOARD. WHAT EXCUSE ME THE PORT.
IT. THROUGH MEANS OF. ADAM CHAIR
OF THE GREATEST YOU MEMBERS-
MISTER QUAN ALREADY TALKED ABOUT
THE TIMELINE OF THE FUNDING- BUT
WE CAN GO INTO MORE DETAIL ALSO
THE ACTIVITIES OF A BUILDING
CAMPUS IN THE TIME'S GONNA TAKE
TO FINISH THAT BUT ALSO- THE
VISION FOR JOBS- IN GOODS
MOVEMENT NOT JUST. IN LOS
ANGELES THE L. AND THE LONG
BEACH PORTS- BUT ALSO ALL THE
WAY TO THE INLAND EMPIRE- JUST
REAL QUICKLY. THE CALIFORNIA
WORKFORCE ON THE BOARD WAS
ALLOCATED THE FUNDS OVER THREE
YEARS HUNDRED TEN MILLION
DOLLARS THE TOTAL COST OF THE
PORT- CAMPUS IS A HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION THE DIFFERENCE BEING
PICKED UP BY THE LA AND LONG
BEACH PORTS- THE CALIFORNIA
WORKFORCE BOARD AND ET DE ARE IN
THE PROCESS OF COMPLETING THE
CONTRACT. TO MOVE THE FIRST
TRYING TO MONEY OVER TO THE LA
PORT- AND THE NEXT THAT'S THIRTY
MILLION DOLLARS IN THE NEXT TO
BE FORTY MILLION DOLLARS WERE
TRYING TO BUILD A CONTRACT
HOWEVER. NOT FOR THE FULL AMOUNT
OF A HUNDRED TEN MILLION-
CONTINGENT UPON ALLOCATION OF
THE RESOURCES THE FUNDS- TO
SIMPLIFY THE CONTRACTING PROCESS
WE CAN STREAMLINE IT. GET THE
MONEY DOWN- TO THE L. A. PORTS
QUICKLY QUICKLY AS WE CAN SO WE
DON'T HOLD UP- THE PLANNING AND
DEVELOPMENT IN THE BUILDING OF
THE- OF THE PORT COMPLEX OUR
BROTHER THE- AT TRAINING CENTER-
THE TIME. LINE OF THE PROJECT- I
THINK- HANDED OVER TO MY
COLLEAGUE LEVINE SHARMA- AT THE
HELP FROM THE LA PORT. FOR LOS
ANGELES WHO'S ALSO A BOARD
MEMBER OF. THE CALIFORNIA
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD. HI
GOOD MORNING SENATORS OF ENSURE
SENIOR DIRECTOR LABOR AND
GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS FOR THE PORT
OF LOS ANGELES AND ALSO A BOARD
MEMBER ON THE CALIFORNIA
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD.
YEAH IN REGARDS TO TIMING AS AS
WAS MENTIONED EARLIER- THAT WE
ARE- WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH
OUR SISTER PORT THE PORT OF LONG
BEACH ON MOVING FORWARD WITH
THIS PROJECT WE'VE ALREADY CAN
BE. CONDUCTED SOME OF OUR EARLY
SOIL EVALUATION WORK ON THE SITE
AND ARE ENGINEERS FROM OUR TO
RESPECTIVE DEPARTMENTS. ARE
WORKING TOGETHER ON DESIGN-
GOING TO AN R. P. PROCESS TO
BRING ON A PROJECT MANAGER- THE
PORTS IN OUR ENGINEERING
DEPARTMENTS ARE VERY GOOD AT
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS AND
BUILDING. TERMINALS IN THIS IS-
SIMILAR IN NATURE THIS'LL BE A-
A TWENTY ACRE KICKED A TWENTY
ACRE CAMPUS LOCATED AT THE PORT-
WHAT WILL LOOK ALMOST A SMALLER
VERSION OF A CONTAINER TERMINAL
WITH SHIP TO SHORE CRANES AND-
SPACE FOR CARGO HANDLING
EQUIPMENT. SO WE'RE MOVING
FORWARD ON THE DESIGN AND
ENGINEERING SIDE OF THE CAMPUS.
AND WERE- GET ALSO. STARTING OUT
. OUR ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE-
INFORMAL MANAGEMENT DIVISION
COLLEAGUES AT THE PORTS ARE ALSO
STARTING THE EARLY PHASES OF
THE- E. I. R. AND C. CO PROCESS
THAT THEY'LL GO THROUGH. AND
WILL HAVE- WE'LL GO THROUGH THAT
PROCESS BECAUSE IT I WAS TO
ACQUIRE. A CLEARANCE THROUGH THE
CIVIL PROCESS IN THE
CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN AFTER THAT
SO AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER. IF
YOU ADD IF YOU ADD THAT UP WE'RE
LOOKING AT A- TWENTY TWENTY
EIGHT TWENTY TWENTY NINE TIME
FRAME FOR- WHAT I WOULD SAY IS.
OPENING OF THE CAMPUS- ON YOUR
QUESTION MADAM CHAIR ON THE
OPERATIONAL SIDE OF THE CAMPUS.
OF THE CAMPUS IS GOING TO. THE
CAMPUS AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
RAINY MENTIONED- IS NOT JUST
ABOUT THE PORT ITSELF WERE WERE
FOCUSED ON THREE AREAS. LONG
SURE TRUCKING AND WAREHOUSING.
AND. IN THOSE THREE AREAS-
REALLY THIS CAMPUS HAS. THREE
GOALS THE FIRST GOAL IS EXISTS
TRAINING NEEDS ACROSS THESE
OCCUPATIONS- THERE'S A CLEAR
EXAMPLES OF- IN ALL THREE OF
OCCUPATIONS WERE. THERE ARE-
TRAINING SHORTAGES TRAINING
NEEDS MORE RESOURCES FOR
TRAINING SO THAT'S WHAT THIS
CAMPUS PUBLIC TO PROVIDE. SECOND
THAT. SKEWS MEET THE TWO PORTS
THE PORTS OF LONG BEACH AND LOS
ANGELES HAVE THROUGH THEIR CLEAN
AIR ACTION PLAN COMMITTED TO GO
ZERO MISSION ON ALL THEIR CARGO
HANDLING EQUIPMENT BY TWENTY
THIRTY- AND AS- AS YOU ALL KNOW
WERE. IT'S NOT JUST THE PARTS
OTHERS OTHER SEGMENTS OTHER
AREAS TO GETS MOVING INDUSTRY
HAVE COMMITTED TO GOING TO IS
OUR MISSION. SO UNDERSTANDING
THAT IS ON THE HORIZON. IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR US TO MAKE SURE
THAT THAT- THAT MOVEMENT. ON
DECARBONISATION- WHETHER IT'S-
BATTERY ELECTRIC OR HYDROGEN
WHAT WHATEVER THE TECHNOLOGY-
INVOLVES- IN HAS A WORKER FOCUS
INCLUDE IN INSTINCT OUT WORKERS
AND IS THINKING ABOUT THAT
TRANSITION. AND WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THOSE WERE- THE
THOUGHT THAT THE WORK FORCE- NOT
JUST ALONG FOR WORKFORCE BUT
THOSE THAT WERE MAINTAIN REPAIR
TRUCKS THOSE THAT MAINTAIN
REPAIR CARGO HANDLING EQUIPMENT
IN THE WAREHOUSING- HAVE. HAVE A
STATE OF THE ART FACILITY WHERE
THEY COULD LOOK AT WHERE THEY
COULD THEY COULD BE TRAINED ON
HOW TO OPERATE THAT EQUIPMENT
AND MAINTAIN AND REPAIR THAT
EQUIPMENT- CURRENTLY AT THE PORT
OF LOS ANGELES WE HAVE ELEVEN
DIFFERENT DEMONSTRATION PILOTS
GOING ON IN ZERO EMISSION
EQUIPMENT. THOSE DEMONSTRATIONS
TAKE PLACE ON LIFE TERMINALS. IN
SO IF YOU'RE THINKING THE IT'S
THE PERFECT ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH
TO TEST OUT THE EQUIPMENT BUT IF
YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT WHERE
YOU'RE GOING TO TRAIN. THE
EMPLOYEE ON HOW TO OPERATE THAT
EQUIPMENT TRY TO REPAIR THE
EQUIPMENT YOU PROBABLY WANT TO
MORE A SAFER SECURE ENVIRONMENT
SO THAT'S THAT'S A SECOND GOAL.
IN AND FINALLY THE THIRD GOAL
IS. WORTH THINKING ABOUT THAT
THIS INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE THIS
INDUSTRY. IN TERMS OF- DOES NOT
HAVE A LONG HISTORY AND
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. AND SO.
IN A FOR EXAMPLE BACK IN. TWENTY
SEVENTEEN- THE PORT OF LOS
ANGELES WERE- WAS WERE ONE OF
THE- FOR TYRONE. PARTNERS GRANTS
H. R. T. PETER. IN ONE OF OUR
FOR THE TWO OF OUR FELLOW
GRANTEES WERE- THE SURELY WHERE
CENTER- IN OAKLAND IN THE
HOSPITALITY TRAINING ACADEMY- IN
LOS ANGELES. IN IN BOTH CASES
THOSE TWO THOSE TWO EXAMPLES ARE
ARE REALLY SERVING AS A MODEL
FOR US FOR THIS CAMPUS. IN THE
SURELY WHERE CENTER EXAMPLE THAT
IS FOR HELP IN THE HEALTHCARE
INDUSTRY WHERE. ANYONE CAN WALK
INTO THEIR- WORK LEARN ABOUT
DIFFERENT TRAIN OCCUPATIONS
RECEIVE TRAINING THOSE
OCCUPATIONS AND END UP IN A HIGH
ROAD. POSITION WORKING OUT ONE
OF THE OAKLAND AREA HOSPITALS-
THE HOSPITALITY TRAINING ACADEMY
WHICH- MANAGERS AS YOU'VE ON
THOSE IN YOUR DISTRICT WORKS
WITH HOSPITALITY TOURISM. AND IN
OTHER AT RELATED INDUSTRIES SO
ANYONE OF US COULD WALK INTO THE
HOSPITALITY TRAINING ACADEMY. I
AND- RESEARCH AND GET TRAINING
AND END UP BEING PLACED IN A
HIGH ROAD EMPLOYER THAT WORKS
WITH UNITE HERE LOCAL ELEVEN.
ARGUES MOVEMENT INDUSTRY DOES
NOT HAVE THAT. IN THE GOAL OF
THIS CAMPUS IS THEN TO BEGIN TO
INSERT WORKING CLOSELY IN
COLLABORATION. WITH EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR RAINY AND HIS TEAM TO
GO THIS CAMPUS AND BEGIN TO
ANSWER SOME OF THOSE HIGH ROAD
PRINCIPLES OF JOB QUALITY
SUSTAINABILITY AND EQUITY. INTO
AN INDUSTRY THAT DOES NOT HAVE
IT. THANK YOU SURE THANK YOU
NIGHT HI I'M GLAD YOU ENDED ON
THAT NOTE BECAUSE- IT'S STRAIGHT
INTO MY NEXT QUESTION WHICH IS.
OF THE THREE SECTORS YOU YOU
TALKED ABOUT THE LONG SURE
TRUCKING AND WAREHOUSING LONG
SHORT CLEARLY HAS A HISTORY THE
PRACTICE LABOR PRACTICES ARE
HIGH ROAD HI PAYING. UNION JOBS
TRUCKING AND WAREHOUSING IS JUST
THE OPPOSITE. ITS WHOLE HISTORY
IS MIS CLASSIFICATION IT'S YOU
KNOW LOW LOW COMPENSATION JUST
POOR- NOT JUST WORKING
CONDITIONS BUT POOR WAGES SO HOW
DO YOU. USE THIS INVESTMENT BY
THE STATE WHICH IS AN ENORMOUS
AMOUNT OF MONEY HOW DO WE TURN
THAT INTO SOMETHING THAT'S GOING
TO FEED- HIGH ROAD INDUSTRIES HI
ROAD IN PLOY- IS AND NOT JUST
FEED THE CREATION OF. POOR
PAYING JOBS. SO YEAH AND YOU
HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO ALL MAYBE
START AND THEN ON TURNED
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RAINY-
THAT'S- WERE FRANKLY IS THE MOST
EXCITING PIECE OF THIS I THINK
IT'S BECAUSE- TO DO WHAT YOU'VE
- JUST. WHICH IS WE GREW THIS
REQUIRE A CULTURE CHANGE BECAUSE
THAT HISTORY ISN'T THERE YOU
KNOW ONE JOB INITIATIVE PROGRAM
ONE PROGRAM- REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER IT'S LOCAL STATE OR
FEDERAL PROGRAM. IS NOT GONNA
CHANGE THIS ENTIRE INDUSTRY IT'S
GONNA REQUIRE A CULTURE CHANGE
IN THIS INDUSTRY AND IN ORDER TO
EFFECTUATE THAT CULTURE CHANGE
YOU KNOW WE LOOK AT THIS IN SOME
OF THE BRING THE HIGH ROAD
PRINCIPLES IN OTHER INDUSTRIES
AND AT THE SECOND DIRECTOR ANY
COULD SPEAK TO. OTHER EXAMPLES
BUT TRYING TO BRING THAT HERE
AND IF YOU AND BY BRINGING THAT
HERE WITH THIS CAMPUS REALLY
START TO BEGIN TO LOOK AT A
COMPANY'S BOTTOM LINE. IN
THINKING ABOUT YOU KNOW AS THESE
COMPANIES ARE BEGINNING TO THINK
ABOUT HOW THEY ARE GOING TO
TRANSITION TO ZERO EMISSION
CARGO HANDLING EQUIPMENT
INTERMISSION EQUIPMENT. HOW ARE
THEY GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD
THE TRAINING AND IF THEY'RE NOT
GONNA BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE
TRAINING THEY'RE JUST GONNA
RESORT TO. APPOINTMENT THAT IS
NOT CLEANER. SO THE BY THE IDEA
BY THIS IS THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY
THIS CAMPUS IS INTENDED TO BE A
PUBLIC GOOD THINKING ABOUT HOW
WE CAN USE THIS CAMPUS TO WORK
WITH. YOU YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT WITH THE ON THE ON THE
ODYSSEY ON THE DOCKS IT'S
THERE'S A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
AGREEMENT- THAT COVERS THE LONG
SHORT BUT- YOU DON'T HAVE THOSE
SAME. PRINCIPLES IN THIS
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS
ACROSS THE OTHER AREAS AND SO
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRULY WERE
HOPING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE IS
THAT THEN. WORKING WITH
EMPLOYERS. AND YOU KNOW FOR. THE
BERGEN IN NEED EVERY DAY OF THAT
TIMELINE. YOU KNOW THE TIMELINE
OF TWENTY TWENTY TWENTY NINE TO
THEN WORK WITH THE EMPLOYERS
IDENTIFY EMPLOYERS THAT WOULD BE
INTERESTED. AND YOU KNOW THE
INCENTIVE. IS BEING ABLE TO
UTILIZE THE STATE OF THE ART
CAMPUS. AND WITH THE GOAL THAT
IN THAT. WOULD THEN AGAIN AND BE
ABLE TO ANSWER SOME THE TYRA
PRINCIPLES. THANK YOU. I'VE
EIGHTY THE HE SAYS IT SO WELL I
DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO ADD
OTHER THAN- IT IS. AS MR SHARMA
SAID BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF
HIGH ROAD WHICH IS WHERE WE-
IDENTIFY COMPANIES THAT. DO
RIGHT BY WORKERS- INVEST IN
SKILLS INVEST IN TRAINING. DON'T
MISS IT MISCLASSIFIED DON'T PAY
LOW WAGES PAY GOOD WAGES. FOR
THIS PURPOSE FOR THE CAMPUS
THOSE ARE THE EMPLOYERS THAT GET
INVITED IN TO BE PART OF THIS
PARTNERSHIP. UP IN THAT WAY WE
PROVIDE EXTRA INCENTIVES TO DO
THE RIGHT THING. IT MAY BE
COMPANIES WHO ARE ALREADY THERE
AND WE WANT TO BENEFIT THEM. WE
WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT THE STATE
HAS THEIR BACK. BECAUSE THEY DO
RIGHT BY WORKERS- AND WE WANT TO
HELP CHANGE. PRACTICES WITH
OTHER EMPLOYERS INSIDE THE
SECTOR BY COMING AND GET THIS
ADDED BENEFIT. IT MAKES THEM
MORE COMPETITIVE VIS A VIS.
COMPANIES THAT CHOOSE. NOT THE
HIGH ROAD. THE THANK YOU. WELL
YES CENTER- TWO THANK YOU MUCH I
DO MISS REAGAN ISSUE- IN
APPRECIATE YOU WILL QUICK
QUESTION SO YOU LAUNCH YOUR
TRUCKING MAKE THEY ARE SEE
HAPPEN- AND WILL CONTINUE TO
HAPPEN- IN THE PORT AREA BUT BUT
WHERE HOUSING IS AN INTERESTING
QUESTION- INTO THE EXTENT THAT.
YOU KNOW MUCH OF THEIR
ACTIVITIES MOVING OUT EASTWARD
INTO THE INLAND EMPIRE. HOW DOES
THE WORK THAT YOU WOULD DO WITH
THE CAMPUS INTERSECT. WITH THAT
BROADER ECONOMIC. SAID OF
TRANSIT CHALLENGES. AB ABSOLUTE
THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION SENATOR
NEWMAN. AYE AYE DANCER AYE
DANGER IN A COUPLE WAYS FIRST
IS- THE TWO PORTS I'LL IN LONG
BEACH ARE REALLY THE TIP OF THE
SPEAR IN THAT TRANSITION OF
CARGO HANDLING EQUIPMENT IS OUR
MISSION EQUIPMENT. SO I THINK
IT'S A FAIR STATEMENT TO SAY
THAT THAT CARGO HANDLING
EQUIPMENT THAT'S BEING TESTED
TODAY AT THE PORTS WILL MAKE ITS
WAY. THROUGH THROUGH THE REST OF
THE GETS MOVEMENT CHAIN AND- A-
A TOP HANDLER AS ZERO EMISSION
TOP HIMMLER OR HYDRO POWER TOP
HAMMER THAT'S BEING TESTED AT-
ONE OF THE TERMINALS TODAY WILL
END UP IN A IN A RALLY OCT YARD
OR WAREHOUSE FACILITY ONCE THEY
BECOME. MORE COMMERCIALIZED IN
THERE SO IF. IF WE'RE IF WE HAS
THE PORTS ARE THE FUTURE. IT'S
IT IT BEHOOVES US TO WORK MORE.
WORK MORE CLOSELY THROUGH THE
SUPPLY CHAIN AND WORK WITH
PARTNERS OUT IN THE INLAND
EMPIRE THERE IS AN EXISTING H.
R. T. P. PROJECT WORKING WITH
WAREHOUSE WORKERS IN THE INLAND
EMPIRE. THAT WE WE'VE HAD
CONVERSATIONS WITH AND HAVE
TALKED TO WEAR IT'S ABOUT
COORDINATION- TRANSPORTATION
OBVIOUSLY IS THIS COMMITTEE ONE
OF TRANSPORTATION IS A BARRIER
TO ENTRY IN SOME CASES IN MANY
CASES AND SO WE WOULD NOT EXPECT
SOMEONE. WHO LIVES IN THE INLAND
EMPIRE TO COME ALL THE WAY DOWN
TO THE PORTS TO RECEIVE
TRAINING. BUT IF YOU CAN THINK
ABOUT THE SUPPLY CHAIN IN IT IF
YOU BASICALLY SENT UP SET UP TO
TEN POLLS ONE OF THE PORT AND
ONE IN- WHERE. YOU HAVE MORE
WAREHOUSE IN THE INLAND EMPIRE
THAT ARE THAN FOCUSED ON. OUR
WORKERS CENTER FOCUS AND FOCUS
ON THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT'S
WHERE YOU THEN BEGIN TO. TO
CREATE THE CHOI IT'S A GREAT
SHOW GUYS UNDERSTAND YOU'RE
DOING SOME GOOD WORK OUT THERE
BY WAY OF WORK FOR SOME THAT'S
GOOD. ABOUT TO TURN ROUSES POINT
AT HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT
THAT- LEADS INTO HIGH ROAD. JOBS
PARTICULARLY EMPLOYERS THAT ARE
CURRENTLY DOING A LOT. OF THAT
WORK OUT IN THAT AREA. YEAH
EIGHT BACK TO WHAT- MISTER SAID
THE START. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF
MODELS THAT WE'VE BEEN INVESTING
IN FOR SOMETIME THE HOSPITALITY
TRAINING ACADEMY IN LOS ANGELES
WHICH IS A BUNCH OF. HOTEL
PROPERTIES AND OTHER EVENT
VENUES. IN LOS ANGELES AND THE
CENTRIPETAL FORCE FOR THAT IS
HIS TRAINING CENTER- HOSPITAL
TRAINING ACADEMY. ALL OF THESE
PROPERTIES ALL OF THESE.
EMPLOYERS ARE INVESTIGATED
BECAUSE IT'S HELPING THEM BE
MORE COMPETITIVE- COMPARED TO
OTHER PLACES WHERE PEOPLE MAY
WANT TO TAKE CONVENTIONS OR
EVENTS. WE'RE DOING THE SAME
THING IN IN THE TRANSIT
INDUSTRY- WITH CALIFORNIA
TRANSIT WORKS WE HAVE SIX.
TRANSIT AGENCIES INVOLVED IN A
HIGH RETURN PARTNERSHIP ACROSS
THE STATE. OR ADDING SEVEN MORE
THIS WAY WE CAN AFFECT THE WHOLE
INDUSTRY SO WE BRING ON MORE AND
MORE EMPLOYERS ACROSS THE WHOLE
THE WHOLE GOODS MOVEMENT SUPPLY
CHAIN BETWEEN LOS ANGELES AND-
INLAND EMPIRE. WE START TO
CHANGE THE WAY COMPANIES RECRUIT
HIGHER PAY RETAIN. THEIR WORK
FORCE SO THAT WE CAN WE CAN SET
A NEW STANDARD ACROSS
WAREHOUSING AND TRUCKING- AND
LONG SHORT- THAT RAISES THE
LEVEL OF. OF PAY INVESTMENT
WORKERS- AND ECONOMIC
SUSTAINABILITY- BUT ALSO
ECONOMIC STABILITY FOR FAMILIES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU WILL- A
FORWARD TO THIS- YOU FOR THE
PRESENTATION AND ALSO JUST TO
REMIND ALL OF US THAT. THERE IS
A REALLY. IMPORTANT CLIMATE
ISSUES HERE TOO AND WE RARELY
TALK ABOUT THEM SO I THINK AS WE
GO FORWARD AND TALK ABOUT THIS
PROGRAM TO TALK ABOUT THIS
INVESTMENT. IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT
THE TRAINING. IT'S ABOUT THE
TRAINING LEADING TO THE GOOD
JOBS BUT IT'S ALSO ABOUT CLIMATE
ISSUES. BECAUSE IF THOSE TRUCKS
THE PEOPLE OWN THOSE TRUCKS
AREN'T ABLE TO HAVE CLEAN TRUCKS
AND INVESTING CLEAN TRUCKS THEN
YOU KNOW THEY DIRTY THERE ALL
THE WAY FROM THE PORTS TO THE
WAREHOUSES- AND IT'S ALL JUST
CONNECTING SO I WOULD. REALLY
APPRECIATE ALSO THAT WE
INCORPORATE INTO. THIS BUDGET
ITEM THE EXTRAORDINARY NEED TO
HAVE CLEAN AIR ESPECIALLY IN
THOSE AREAS BECAUSE THEY ARE
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND THEIR-
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES THEY
REALLY NEED. THE CLEAN AIR AS
MUCH AS THEY DO A JOB YOU KNOW
NOT ONE OR THE OTHER SO.
APPRECIATED THANK YOU ALL VERY
MUCH. OUR I WANT TO MOVE ON JUST
HAVE A SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
DMB- IF YOU COULD I THINK YOU
MENTIONED THAT IF YOU COULD- DIG
A LITTLE BIT DEEPER- HOW IS A DM
BE WORKING TOWARDS MAKING THE-
DRIVER'S LICENSE- TESTING
PROCESS MORE EFFICIENT AND
STREAMLINED- WE STILL HERE-
COMPLAINTS. STEEN APPOINTMENTS
AND BEING PROVIDED CONFLICTING
INFORMATION ABOUT LICENSE
REQUIREMENTS FROM THE DMV
OFFICES. AND WHO IS THAT GUY
GOOD MORNING MANAGER STEVE
GORDON DIRECTOR OF THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT MOTOR
VEHICLES SO THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION. OVER THE PAST A WHILE
SINCE THE PANDEMIC I THINK THE
DEPARTMENT AVENUE AND I THINK A
FAIRLY. GOOD JOB OF MAKING SURE
THAT IN FACT WE CAN INCREASE
CAPACITY BY LOOKING AT MULTIPLE
FACTORS SO I TAKE YOUR POINT
THERE ARE SOMETIMES THERE'S
CONFUSION THERE ARE TRUCK
DRIVING SCHOOLS IN THE MIX.
THERE'S A NUMBER OF PLAYERS IN
THIS ECOSYSTEM THAT WE TRY TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE SERVE. BUT THE
FACT IS WE'VE BEEN ADDRESSING TO
MAKE SURE WE INCREASE CAPACITY
ONE PART IS MAKING SURE WE'VE
SHIFTED RESOURCES FROM LOWER
DEMAND AREAS TO HIGHER DEMAND
AREAS THAT. IS OFTEN THE CASE IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ESPECIALLY
NEAR THE PORTS AS WE JUST HEARD.
WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH THE
SCHOOL TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
ARE PREPARED WITH THEIR STUDENTS
SO THE STUDENTS HAVE TO BE
TRAINED BECAUSE WE HAVE ABOUT A
TWENTY FIVE PERCENT. FAILURE
RATE FOR STUDENTS EVEN ON THE
BASIC INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE
OR THE BRAKES YOU KNOW. HOW TO
HAVE THOSE BASIC MECHANICAL
THINGS WORK THAT'S SHOULD BE A
LAUGH FOR THEM AND THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT THE SCHOOLS TRAIN
ON SO THAT'S ABOUT 25% OF OUR
CAPACITY IS TIED UP AND THINGS
LIKE THAT. AND ALSO THE SCHEDULE
WE HAVE LAST MINUTE
CANCELLATIONS FROM THE SCHOOL SO
HIM OR WORKING WITH THE TRAINING
SCHOOLS PREDOMINATE. GROUP
DEMAND ON OUR PROGRAM ARE FROM
THOSE TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOLS WERE
WORKING WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE
THEY SHOW UP FOR MAKING SURE
THAT THEIR PEOPLE ARE PREPARED.
AND ARE MAKING SURE THAT OUR
CAPABILITIES ARE ARE AVAILABLE
TO TODAY WE SEE THAT HAD MANY
SITES YOU CAN GET A SAME DAY
APPOINTMENT BY. CAN WORKING WITH
THE SCHOOLS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE
PREPARED MAKING SURE THAT THE
PAST IS IN PLACE MAKING SURE OUR
CAPACITY MATCHES YOUR CAPACITY
BY SHIFTING OUR- EXAMINERS.
LOCALLY SO. SO I APPRECIATE THAT
THERE ARE. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE
LINGERING- CONCERNED ABOUT THE
DEPARTMENT. THERE IF THEY'RE
CONCERNED ABOUT US MEETING- THAT
MEETING THE MOMENT. BUT GIVEN
THE DATA WE HAVE TODAY GIVEN THE
AVAILABILITY OF APPOINTMENTS
ACROSS. THE STATE WHETHER IT'S
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. INLAND
EMPIRE- EVEN IN RURAL CALIFORNIA
WE HAVE TO GET A VERY GOOD JOB
IN THEIR APPOINTMENTS THAT ARE
AVAILABLE TODAY FOR PEOPLE WHO
WANT TO SHOW UP TODAY. BUT AGAIN
IT'S- IT'S A COMPLEX STAND
BETWEEN A TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOL
WANTS TO BRING. SIX OF THE
STUDENTS TO THE TEST CENTRE
TODAY THEY BRING ONE TRUCK FOR
THOSE SIX STUDENTS. WE HAVE TO
MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THAT STUFF
WORKS IN CONCERT SO- AGAIN WE'RE
WORKING. IF YOU WERE TO VISIT
ONE OF OUR CITY TO SEIZE THE
TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOLS. ARE THE
TRAINING CENTERS SINCE WE HAVE
YOU SEE EVERY MORE. THE FIRST
THING ON ONE OF OUR- MANY. DOES
STARTS BECAUSE- THE LOWER.
SCHOOLS MAKE SURE A LIKE A LIKE
A RESTAURANT ARE YOU GOING TO BE
THERE. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE YOU
BRING AND YOU NEED TO. SHIFT
AROUND APPOINTMENTS. AND BE
WE'RE LOOKING TO FILL WE HAVE
OPEN SLOTS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE
FILLED WITH THE NEXT AVAILABLE
STUDENTS CAN YOU ADVANCE A
STUDENT WHO WANTED TO TEST
TOMORROW INTO TODAY. SO THE TEAM
TO DO IN A NUMBER OF THINGS
AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THAT. OUR
CAPACITY THAT WE'VE CREATED THE
OFFICES IS UTILIZED FOR THE BY
THE BY THE INDUSTRY AND ALSO OF
COURSE FOR THE INDIVIDUALS WE
HAVE PEOPLE FROM CALTRANS WHERE
PEOPLE FROM. U. S. P. S. AND
OTHERS IT GET. COMMERCIAL TRUCK
DRIVERS- CERTIFIED DOES NOT
ALWAYS. TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOLS
BUT- AGAIN ALL THOSE THINGS HAVE
TO WORK WELL TOGETHER- MADAM
CHAIR. AND I THINK. YOU'LL GIVEN
THE DATA WE SEE TODAY IN THE
INDUSTRY CONVERSATIONS THAT WE
HAVE WE THINK WE'RE MAKING
TREMENDOUS PROGRESS ON A OF
TRYING TO WORK. TRYING TO.
DISABUSE THE NOTION OF A SOME OF
THE SCHOOLS THAT THERE. THAT
WERE CANCELING THINGS TO THE
LAST MINUTE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN
TRUE AT THE HEIGHT OF COVET. BUT
CERTAINLY LESS OVER THE LAST.
TWELVE MONTHS BASED ON THE DATA
THAT I SEE. I'M AND JUST A MORE
QUESTION ON. THOSE THE SOURCE.
THE SCHOOLS ARE THE SOURCE OF.
THAT'S WHO YOU REALLY WORK WITH.
IN TERMS OF THE APPLICANTS. YET
BUT 90% OF OUR TRAFFIC COMES
FROM TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOLS. IN
THOSE PROGRAMS AT THE TRUCK FROM
SCHOOLS AROUND FOUR TO SIX WEEKS
TO PAY PROGRAM. AND WE WORK WITH
THEM THE TRUCK DRIVING SCHOOLS
ARE THE ONES THAT. SECURE
SCHEDULE FOR THEIR STUDENT BASED
ON THEIR ASSESSMENT OF THE
STUDENTS PREPARATION. AND
THEY'RE ALSO THE ONES THAT
SOMETIMES. PULL SOMEBODY OUT THE
ROTATION WHEN THEY DON'T THINK A
STUDENT IS READY. SO WE HAVE TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE READY.
THEY SHOW UP THEY BRING THE
EQUIPMENT THEY BRING THE
STUDENTS AND EVERYONE IS
PREPARED. AND THAT'S WHEN THE
SYSTEM WORKS. IT'S PAST. OKAY
I'M SORRY ONE LAST QUESTION IS.
WHAT HAVE BEEN THE MAJOR
ROADBLOCKS IN IDENTIFYING LEASES
FOR ADDITIONAL- COMMERCIAL DRIVE
TEST CENTRES. YEAH THAT'S A-
GREAT QUESTION MANAGER I'M NOT
SURE I HAVE THE ANSWER TO THAT
WE HAVE FOUND AT. BECAUSE THAT
MISTER WANTED MENTION SOME
LOCATIONS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
WHICH IS SORT OF IN THE BAY IN
THE GREATER BAY AREA. CALLED THE
EAST BAY FOR NOW. AND I THINK WE
HAVE THREE SITES THAT ARE
IDENTIFIED THERE WERE. CURRENTLY
WORKING TEMPORARILY AT THE- I
THINK STARTING THE NEXT MONTH AT
THE PLEASANTON MALL. TO MALL.
TENS OF A LARGE PARKING LOT AS
MANY OF US KNOW. THAT'S GONNA
WORK AS A SHORT TERM MEASURE.
BUT IN NORTHERN LOS ANGELES WE
HAVE NOT HAD THE SAME LUCK OF
FINDING PROPERTY IN THIS IS
GOING TO BE LIKE A FOUR OH FIVE
FIVE INTERCHANGE OF DOUBT. YOU
DO WEST OF FONTANA. SOMEONE
SOMEONE NORTH OF GARDENIA. WE
HAVE TWO MAJOR CENTERS. IN THAT
AREA BUT WE HAVE NOT HAD LUCK
WORKING WITH DGS LOOKING FOR
PROPERTIES AND WILL CONTINUE TO
AGGRESSIVELY. ATTACK ON THAT BUT
IN THE MEANTIME WE ARE. THIS
OTHER CENTERS FONTANA GARDENIA-
CAN YOU CAN GET A SAME DAY
APPOINTMENT TODAY AND THEY ARE
EXTREMELY BUSY. IT JUST UP FOR
THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE NOT BEEN
OUT TO ONE OF THESE PATTIES ARE
MASSIVE LOCATIONS THERE'S-
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN TEN AND
TWENTY. TWENTY TEN AND TWENTY.
VEHICLES ON THE PAD ANYONE TIMES
EASIER EIGHTEEN WHEEL TRUCKS. SO
YOU CAN IMAGINE THEY'RE VERY
BUSY. TO BE VERY CAREFUL HERE A
LOT OF MOVING PARTS. SO WE ARE
DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE STATE- STAY FULLY OCCUPIED
BUT WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE HAVING
TO DRIVE FROM NORTHERN LOS
ANGELES DRIVE OUT TO FONTANA.
UNNECESSARILY CREATES TRAFFIC.
POLLUTION ALL THE OTHER THINGS
WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THE-
WE FOR. THE LOCATION BUT THAT
IS. VERY CHALLENGING IN THE
NORTHERN. ANGELES AREA.
UNFORTUNATELY AND SO I SAID THAT
WAS THE LAST QUESTION BUT-
SORRY. JUST IN TERMS OF MADE UP
TO DO THIS NOW BUT- IN TERMS OF
WHAT YOUR GOALS. YOU KNOW. IS
THERE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF.
LICENSES THAT YOU FEEL. IF YOU
FULFILLED. A GOAL WITHIN THE
NEXT SIX SIX MONTHS OR A YEAR.
BECAUSE THIS IS ALL CONNECTED
RIGHT TO THE- SUPPLY CHAIN. DO
WE HAVE ENOUGH- PEOPLE. DRIVING
AND MOVING THE GOODS. SO ARE YOU
WORKING OFF OF A CERTAIN. TIME
FRAME FOR A NUMBER OF- A GOAL.
YEAH IT IT IT FLUCTUATES MANAGER
SO I COULD GIVE YOU A NUMBER
TODAY BUT YOU KNOW IF THE FUEL
PRICES GO UP OR- IF THE ECONOMY
SLOWS DOWN. THERE'S LESS LESS
NEED FOR DRIVERS. IN THE INVERSE
OF THAT SITUATION OF COURSE HAS
A ENHANCE THE FOR DRIVERS. THE
WERE SEEN SIX THOUSAND OR SO
EXAMS ON A MONTHLY BASIS. SO
THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF. THAT'S
KIND OF OUR TARGET TODAY. WE
WANT TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PICK
UP AS WE NEED TO WE NEED TO HAVE
THE PHYSICAL FACILITIES TO DO
THAT. AND OF COURSE WANT TO MAKE
SURE WE HAVE THE RELATIONSHIPS
WITH THE- WITH THE TROUT SCHOOLS
TO MAKE SURE THAT. WE CAN STAY
IN CONTRATACIONES INCREASED
DEMAND THAT MAYBE THEIR SCENE
SO. WE DON'T HAVE A SET NUMBER
BUT BECAUSE IT. EBBS AND FLOWS
BUT- THANK YOU. THANK YOU THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. ANYMORE QUESTIONS
HELLO OKAY. ALL RIGHT I THINK
WE'RE READY TO MOVE ON TO- THANK
YOU VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT.
ISSUE NINETEEN- ENCAMPMENTS
HOMELESS SERVICES LAYS ON. AND I
THINK WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FIRST
FROM MISTER STEPHEN CAC. FROM
CALTRANS.
CAN HELP. GOOD MORNING JERRY
COMMISSIONERS I'M STEPHEN KAY
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
TRANSPORTATION- SO ITEM EIGHTEEN
IS A. B. C. P. WERE IN THE
DEPARTMENT IS REQUESTING A THREE
YEAR LIMITED TERM. GENERAL FUND
INCREASE OF FIVE POINT EIGHT
MILLION DOLLARS TO FUND THIRTY
POSITIONS. OF FOR THOSE THREE
YEARS AND SEVEN TWO YEAR LIMITED
TERM POSITION IS TO SUPPORT OUR
STATEWIDE EFFORTS IN ADDRESSING
HOMELESSNESS WITHIN THE HIGHWAY
STATE. STATE HIGHWAY RIGHT OF
WAY. THE CHEMICAL ORDINATORS ARE
VERY HIGHLY SPECIALIZED THEY ACT
AS CONDUITS BETWEEN THE PEOPLE
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS THE
COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THEY LIVE
AND THE SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS
WHO ARE FUNDED TO TRAIN AND MEET
THEIR NEEDS. IT'S ACTIVE
COLLABORATION THAT WE'RE
PERFORMING IS VITAL TO BRIDGING
THE GAPS THAT EXIST BETWEEN THE
REMOVAL OF THE ENCAMPMENTS WHICH
WE DO FOR SAFETY REASONS. AND
THE ACCESSIBILITY TO AND THE
PLACEMENT IN- ALTERNATIVE AND
SAFER HOUSING OPTIONS SO WE
REALLY NEED TO BE COORDINATING
WITH THE LOCAL AGENCIES WHO
PROVIDE THAT SERVICE THAT WHEN
WE DO OUR JOB OF KEEPING OUR
HIGHWAYS SAFE- THOSE
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS HAVE A
PLACE TO GO AND THESE CORNERS
REALLY MAKE SURE THAT THAT
HAPPENS. OKAY. YES MISTER
JIMENEZ- NO CONCERNS WITH THIS
PROPOSAL- WE FIND THAT THESE
POSITIONS ARE- CONTINUATION OF
PREVIOUSLY APPROVED ONES WITH A
SLIGHT AUGMENTATION- THIS IS A
SPACE THAT CALTRANS FINDS ITSELF
INCREASINGLY IN- IN THESE
POSITIONS ARE REASONABLE. ON THE
LEGISLATURE COULD REQUEST
ADDITIONAL DATA FROM THE
DEPARTMENT ON HOW THESE
POSITIONS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED
AND WHAT THE OUTCOMES ARE- BASED
ON ITS PRIORITIES. THANK YOU. OF
MISTER POLLOCK DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE- NOTHING TO ADD. OKAY
GREAT. SENATORS ANY QUESTIONS
COMMENTS CENTER CERTAIN HOUSE A
PILOT BEEN GOING FOR LAST COUPLE
YEARS YEAH. IT'S BEEN VOTE GOING
VERY WELL AND WE HAVE A COUPLE
OF REALLY HUGE- EXAMPLES- I
THINK IT WOULD STREET IN OAKLAND
IS A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHERE
WE WERE ABLE TO COORDINATE. WITH
LOCAL AGENCIES THE CITY OF
OAKLAND- THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA-
THAT WAS IT A SITE I THINK IT'S
A TWENTY EIGHT ACRE CALTRANS
OWNED PROPERTY ADJACENT TO. A
RAIL RIGHT OF WAY SO W. DANGERS-
AND WE WERE ABLE TO- REMOVE THAT
ENCAMPMENTS WE WERE ABLE TO FIND
HOUSING FOR A THINK TWO HUNDRED
INDIVIDUALS IN THAT AREA-
REMOVED- FOUR THOUSAND YARDS OF
TRASH FROM THAT PROPERTY. OVER
FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS DERELICT
VEHICLES. AND WE'RE ABLE TO
INSTALL SOME MODES OF MEASURES
TO HELP PREVENT- ACCESS TO OUR
RIGHT AWAY IN THE FUTURE- THAT'S
JUST ONE EXAMPLE WE HAVE SEVERAL
VERY LARGE EXAMPLE THAT BUT- IN
GENERAL WE'RE FINDING. REALLY A
LOT OF SUPPORT FROM NOT ONLY-
THE LOCAL AGENCIES RESPONSIBLE
FOR PROVIDING SOCIAL SERVICES
BUT FROM THE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS THEMSELVES. BY THEY
ARE RESPONDING WELL TO OUR
OUTREACH TO MEET THEIR NEEDS AS
WELL RIGHT AND ARE YOU FINDING
THAT. ONCE YOU'VE CLEARED AN
AREA IT STAYS CLEARED OR DOES
IT. ARE WE FINDING THAT.
EVENTUALLY IT GREEN HAVE BEEN
TAKES WITH. YEAH SO THAT'S A
TOUGH QUESTION AND CERTAINLY
THERE ARE CASES WHERE- YOU KNOW
IT DOESN'T STAY SOMETIMES FOLKS.
END UP BACK WHERE THEY WORK BUT
WE ALSO WORK WITH C. H. P. TO
CONTINUE TO PATROL THE SITES-
TO. INSURE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN SOMETIMES
THEY MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE- THE
KEY THAT WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO
DO IS TO PROVIDE THAT LINK
BETWEEN THE SAFETY PURPOSE THAT
WE ARE GOING TO REMOVE THEM FROM
HARM'S WAY. AND GETTING THEM
THOSE SERVICES WHICH- IS HOW WE
CONNECT. TO THE LARGER MACHINE.
AND SO THESE COORDINATORS VITAL
TO THAT ROLE. THANK YEAH YOU'RE
A REAL USER COMMENTS MISTER TECH
ISSUE- I HAVE SOME RECENT
EXPERIENCE WITH THIS IN MY
DISTRICT MOSTLY WITH SMALLER
CASH BUT IT REALLY GRATEFUL- FOR
THE IMPROVEMENTS WE'VE SEEN- IN
BOTH- RESPONSIVENESS IT ALSO
COORDINATION WITH DECEMBER LOCAL
AGENTS. AND SO THANK YOU ARE THE
WORK WITH BEFORE I GET TO IT-
CENTER SEARS POINT- WHAT WE SEE
IS THE DID YOU KNOW NOT YOUR
FAULT IT'S KIND OF WHACK A MOLE-
YOU KNOW YOU DO WHERE YOU MOVE-
SMALLER CAMERAS SPECIALLY. ONE
PLACE THAT IT KIND OF RE EMERGES
SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT YOU KNOW
THAT'S PROBABLY THE NATURE
THANKS. THOUGH THE ONE POINT I
WOULD MAKE AS WE DO THIS IS TO
ENSURE. THAT I DEAL
COORDINATION. HOST CLEAN UP-
WHAT WE SEEN OFTEN IS THERE
THERE COULD BE SEVERAL DAYS- IN
BETWEEN- WHEN YOUR CLEAN UP TEAM
LEAVES ONE YOU KNOW THE LOCAL
AGENT COMES TO. REMOVE
EVERYTHING AT THE SHORE THAT
AERATION OVERSEE THEM YOU KNOW
THE BETTER THE OUTCOME BUT BUT
OTHERWISE IT IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE
DEFINITELY SEEING PROGRESS IN
THE- IN ORANGE COUNTY. CHAU
CARRIERS THANKS THANK YOU. WELL
I JUST WANNA BE THAT- OUR OFFICE
WORKS CLOSELY WITH WITH CALTRANS
AND WE'RE- REALLY GRATEFUL FOR
ALL OF THE- PEOPLE WHO WORK
CALTRANS ESPECIALLY DOING THIS-
MY STAFF MISTER MUSAEUM WORKS.
VERY CLOSELY AND- WE SUITE WE
SEE A LOT OF. INVOLVEMENT
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT AS WELL
AND SO SOMEHOW THAT. IS VERY
HELPFUL SO I APPRECIATE THAT AS
WELL- AND THAT WE SAYING THAT
THE LINK IS A SAFETY AND
SERVICES- COMING TOGETHER ON
THIS BUT- ANY- LESSONS OR WHAT
ARE THE LESSONS LEARNED SO FAR.
FROM THIS TYPE OF- OF PILOT AND-
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO
EXPANSION OF IT HOPEFULLY
THERE'S NO NEED FOR AN EXPANSION
HOPEFULLY RIGHT. WE THIS IS THE
KIND OF PROGRAM THAT WEEK-
ELIMINATE ALTOGETHER BUT- THAT'S
WHAT WE SHOULD BE WORKING
TOWARDS I KNOW THAT'S NOT YOUR
GOAL TO GROW. IN THE NUMBER OF
TEAMS AND COORDINATE IS THAT YOU
HAVE BUT LESSONS LEARNED YEAH I
KNOW THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT I
ULTIMATELY IF WE'RE SUCCESSFUL
WE ELIMINATE THIS PROGRAM
ENTIRELY- THAT'S A LOFTY GOAL
BUT ONE THAT WE'RE WORKING
TOWARDS. I THINK AT SOME OF THE
LESSONS WE'VE LEARNED IS A- WE
ALWAYS NEED TO KEEP LEARNING IN
OTHER WORDS WE NEED TO BE OUT
THERE IN THE COMMUNITY THE
ADVANTAGE OF HAVING THESE
LOCALIZED SPECIALISES THAT THEY
GET OUT THEY SEE. WHERE THE HOT
SPOTS ARE THE MEET WITH. OF
PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS
THEY MEET WITH THE COORDINATORS
AND THEY'RE IN CONSTANT CONTACT
LIKE. I THINK WHEN WE ORIGINALLY
ENVISIONED AS WE THOUGHT IT
WOULD BE MORE OF A SCHEDULING
THINGS LIKE HEY WE'RE GOING TO
BE OUT HERE ON THURSDAY COME ON
OUT. BUT REALLY WE'RE WE'RE
WE'RE SEEING SO MUCH MORE NEED
FOR THE IN DEPTH CONTACT- THE
OTHER THING THAT WE REALLY
LEARNED IS- WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO
WHAT ELSE CAN CALTRANS DO AND
THIS IS WHY WE'RE EXPANDING
THIS- PROGRAM SLIGHTLY. HOW CAN
WE HELP WITH SOME OF THE LONGER
TERM SOLUTIONS LIKE WE DO HAVE
PROPERTIES WHERE IT COULD BE
SAFE FOR. PEOPLE TO SHELTER. AND
WE'VE DONE A SEVERAL INSTANCES
NOW WE WORK WITH LOCAL AGENCIES
TO PROVIDE HOUSING IN THOSE
AREAS SO IT REQUIRES A LOT OF
COORDINATION BETWEEN US BETWEEN
THE LOCAL AGENCIES WITH FEDERAL
HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION WHO
ULTIMATELY. CONTROLS WHAT WE CAN
DO- BUT IN THOSE INSTANCES YOU
KNOW WE'VE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO
PROVIDE A SPACE FOR ITS A TINY
HOMES OR FOR OTHER A SHELTER-
THE COMMUNAL HOUSING- AND HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO- HELP A LITTLE BIT
EVEN JUST BEYOND THE SAFETY
ASPECT THAT WE NEED TO DO AND
HELP PROVIDE. SOME OF THE- SOME
THE INTERIM SOLUTIONS AS WELL.
RIGHT THANK YOU I JUST WANT TO
ALSO COMMENT THAT WE'VE BEEN
WORKING WITH CALTRANS VERY
CLOSELY IN MY DISTRICT ON THE
SEVEN TEN- CORRIDOR. OF THE
HOUSING IN THAT AREA SO THAT'S
NOT YOUR EXPERTISE NOR SHOULD
BE- BUT I APPRECIATE- WORKING
THE WAY WE WORK WE WORK
TOGETHER. ON ADDRESSING THOSE
ISSUES SO JUST WANT TO SAY THAT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I THINK
THAT'S IT FOR THAT. NO MORE.
QUESTIONS OKAY WE MOVE ON TO
ISSUE TWENTY THANK YOU ALL VERY
MUCH. OF A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
REMOVAL AT THE ENCAMPMENTS AGAIN
MR QUEK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
THIS IS- SIMILAR BUT A DIFFERENT
PROPOSAL- THIS IS ALSO A
CONTINUATION OF- FUNDING THAT
WAS RECEIVED TWO YEARS AGO- THIS
IS A REQUEST FOR AN ADDITIONAL
TWO YEARS OF LIMITED TERM
FUNDING- FOR TWENTY POINT SIX
MILLION DOLLARS IN THE STATE
HIGHWAY COUNT- TO- PROVIDE A
STABLE FUN SOURCE FOR HAZARDOUS.
WASTE MATERIAL REMOVAL FROM
THESE ENCAMPMENTS- THESE WEREN'T
RESOURCES ARE GOING TO GIVE US
THAT DEDICATED FUND SOURCE WE
DON'T NEED TO PULL FROM OTHER
AREAS WITHIN MAINTENANCE- TO
FOCUS ON. WHAT DO WE DO TO MAKE
THAT SITE SAFE FOR OUR WORKERS
FOR CONTRACTORS AND MIGHT BE
WORKING ON A SYSTEM FOR.
PEDESTRIANS IN THE AREA AFTER
THE ENCAMPMENT IS REMOVED
OFTENTIMES- WITH THE REMOVAL OF
ENTERTAINMENT THERE ARE
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS LEFT BEHIND
THAT WE NEED TO DEAL WITH. THESE
ARE VERY UNSAFE CONDITIONS AND
WE HIRE YOU KNOW A LICENSED AND
BONDED HAZMAT CONTRACTORS TO
DEAL WITH THIS WASTE REMOVING IT
TRANSPORTING IT SAFELY DISPOSING
OF IT AS REQUIRED BY LAW. OKAY.
NINETY I'M SORRY YES- MR HUMANS
. THANK YOU- NO CONCERN WITH
THIS PROPOSAL IT'S A
CONTINUATION OF A PREVIOUS
DOCUMENTATION THAT THE
DEPARTMENT RECEIVED AND AS MR
QUEK MENTIONED- AS THE CONTRACT
OUT FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
REMOVAL WHICH I'M CALTRANS
DOESN'T HAVE SPECIALTY WITHIN
ITS STAFF TO DO SO IT'S
REASONABLE TO CONTRACT OUT FOR
THE SERVICES TO ENSURE. THAT THE
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL CAN BE
CLEANED UP. Q. AND DEPARTMENT
FINANCE MISTER POLLOCK NOTHING
THAT. THANK YOU I JUST HAVE A
COUPLE QUESTIONS MR K. YOU KNOW
WE'VE HAD OF THIS EXPERIENCE IN
THE- EAST LOS ANGELES WITH THE
COMPANY EXIDE AND THE
CONTAMINATION OF THE DIRT THERE.
AND ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT CAME
UP WAS WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS
SUFFICIENT TRAINING OF THE
WORKERS WHO ARE ACTUALLY.
DIGGING UP THE DIRT AND DOING
WHAT THEY'RE WHAT THEY'RE
SUPPOSED TO BE DOING SO I GUESS
MY QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU MAKE
SURE THAT THERE ARE. THAT THERE
IS THE QUALITY TRAINING AND
LABOR STANDARDS OF THE EMPLOYEES
OF THE COMPANIES THAT YOU
CONTRACT WITH BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE FACING. IN THE EXITE
SITUATION. THAT'S A GOOD
QUESTION SO WE WORK WITH
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES
IN EVALUATING THE- THE LICENSING
AND THE APPROPRIATENESS OF- AT
THE HAS THAT- CONTRACTORS
THEMSELVES AND WE HAVE. A AND
LYDIA I THINK THERE'S TEN
DIFFERENT CERTIFICATIONS WE
REQUIRE FROM THE CONTRACTOR TO
SUCCESSFULLY BID ON ONE OF THESE
HAZMAT CONTRACTS. IN THAT OF
COURSE- AND COULD NOT PROVIDE
THE LIST OF THE TEN ITEM SO I
DON'T HAVE TO LIST THEM ALL FOR
YOU NOW BUT IN THAT IS. A
REQUIREMENT FOR OF WHAT WE CALL
HAZARDOUS WASTE OPERATIONS AND
EMERGENCY RESPONSE TRAINING
WHICH IS A FORTY HOUR TRAINING
PROGRAM FOR THE EMPLOYEES TO BE
DOING THIS WORK. SO WE REQUIRE-
OUR CONTRACTORS- TO PROVIDE
PROOF OF ALL TEN OF THESE
DIFFERENT LICENSING AND
CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS PRIOR
TO BEGINNING WORK ON A PROJECT
SO- THAT'S REALLY OUR MEANS OF
ENSURING THAT THE CONTRACTOR CAN
DO THE WORK THAT THEY'VE- THAT
THEY'VE- BEEN ON. AND AS THEY
ARE SHOWING US. SWIMMING NO
INTENT TO DECEIVE US THEY'RE
SHOWING US- THAT THEY HAVE THAT
TRAINING IN PLACE OKAY. JUST A-
LAYPERSON'S SUGGESTION IS HOW TO
SPOT CHECK- YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE
FOUND IN DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES
ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE
DANGEROUS INDUSTRIES THERE MAY
BE ON PAPER. YOU KNOW THAT IT'S
CHECKED OFF RIGHT ALL THE
REQUIREMENTS BUT IN FACT A LOT
OF OTHER THINGS ARE GOING ON
BEHIND THE SCENES SO. FIGURE OUT
HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE
ACTUALLY DOING THE HAZMAT WORK-
HAVE THE PROTECTIONS IN THE
TRAINING THAT THEY NEED. FOR THE
GOOD ADVICE WILL WORK WITH THE
PUBLIC GENERAL SERVICES ON.
THANK YOU. ISSUE. TWENTY ONE.
WILL MOVE ON TO HIGHWAY
MAINTENANCE SAFETY PROGRAM.
MISTER CAKE. THANK YOU AS A ONCE
AGAIN WE ARE REQUESTING A- A
FOUR YEAR LIMITED TERM FUNDING
OF FORTY EIGHT POINT FOUR
MILLION DOLLARS AND THIRTY EIGHT
POSITIONS. TO CONTINUE A PILOT
THAT WAS PUT INTO PLACE TWO
YEARS AGO CALLED THE H. M. FOR
SAFETY PROGRAM- THIS PILOT
PROGRAM SUPPORTS OUR GOAL OF
REACHING ZERO DEATHS AND SERIOUS
INJURIES ON THE STATE HIGHWAY
SYSTEM BY TWENTY FIFTY A- VERY
LOFTY GOAL ON A HEAVY LIFT- BUT
THIS PILOT SEEKS TO- TARGET.
SMALL QUICKLY IMPLEMENTABLE
SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS ON THE
HIGHWAY SYSTEM THROUGH A SAFE
SYSTEMS APPROACH. ARE KIND OF
TAKING IT OUT OF THE TRADITIONAL
IN PLAN DESIGN AWARD A CONTRACT
CONSTRUCT MULTI YEAR PROCESS IN
AND GETTING OUT THERE AND DOING
WITH OUR MAINTENANCE FORCES AND
THROUGH MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS
THIS SORT OF IMMEDIATE SAFETY
IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE CAN MAKE ON
THE HIGHWAY SYSTEM- WE'RE
EXPANDING THE PROGRAM A LITTLE
BIT- TO ALSO INCLUDE THREE NEW
FOCUS AREAS OF THE FEDERAL
HIGHWAYS IS LOOKING INTO- THOSE
ARE- OLDER DRIVERS AND
PEDESTRIANS. AND HIGH RISK-
RULE- ROADS AND ALSO THE MOST
VULNERABLE USERS OR USERS OF OUR
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM WHICH ARE
THAT BICYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS.
SO WE'LL BE LOOKING AT
ADDITIONAL MEASURES TO MEET
THOSE SPECIFIC GOALS AS WELL AS-
CONTINUING THIS PILOT FOR A
LONGER TERM WHICH WILL ALLOW US
TO GATHER. LONG TERM DATA ON
WHAT THE IMPACTS OF WHAT. THE
PROJECTS THAT WE PUT IN AND HOW
THEY'RE PERFORMING CERTAINLY IS
THIS TWO YEAR PILOT PROGRAM
WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
SECOND YEAR NOW SOME OF THESE
PROJECTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
CONSTRUCTION. AND IS ONLY TO BE
ABLE TO EVALUATE THOSE MOVING
FORWARD AND CONTINUING THIS
PILOT PROGRAM WILL ENSURE THAT
WE CONTINUE TO ASSESS- WHERE
WE'VE BEEN. AND ALSO ALLOW US TO
CONTINUE TO SUCCEED WITH THE
SAFETY PROJECTS THAT WE'VE
ALREADY BEEN IN PLACE. FOR ME
THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS
COMMENTS WELL- IF YOU DO IF
YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE RESULTS
THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR- HOW DO
YOU. DEAL WITH THAT. AS YOU MOVE
FORWARD THAT'S A REALLY GOOD
QUESTION SO WHAT WHAT WE DO IS
WE- MONITOR THE CONDITION OF THE
SAFETY IMPROVEMENT AND THE
TRAFFIC AROUND IT. AFTER
INSTALLATION AND IF WE DON'T SEE
IMPROVEMENT THAT WE WERE
EXPECTING. WHAT WE THAT TRIGGERS
EIGHT EIGHT A DEEPER ANALYSIS OF
THAT PARTICULAR SITUATION SO
LET'S SEE SYSTEMS APPROACHES IS
BASICALLY- DOUBLING DOWN ON WHAT
WE KNOW WORKS. BUT IT DOESN'T
ALWAYS WORK IN EVERY SITUATION
AND SOMETIMES THERE'S SOMETHING
GOING ON RIGHT THERE THAT THAT
NEED SPECIAL ATTENTION. AND SO-
IF IT DOESN'T IMPROVE AS WE
EXPECT THAT WILL TRIGGER A
DEEPER ANALYSIS WHICH MAY. WHICH
MAY MEAN WE DO SOMETHING
DIFFERENT WITH HM FOR PROGRAM
FOR THAT LOCATION OR IT COULD
EVEN KICK IT INTO THE LONGER
MORE INDEPTH PROCESS IN THEIR
STATE HIGHWAY OPERATIONS
PROTECTION PROGRAM. THAT WOULD
ALLOW US TO REALLY GET INTO WHAT
DIDN'T WORK AND WHY AND THEN
ADDRESS THAT PROBLEM. IT THANK
YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH- TWENTY
TWO ARE WE ON TWENTY. YES OKAY-
MOVING ON TO ISSUE TWENTY TWO
PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SIGNALS
MISTER KABC. THE LAST ONE. THE
SERVICE WHEN THE DEPARTMENT IS
REQUESTING- ONE PERMANENT
POSITION AND ONE POINT SEVEN
MILLION DOLLARS FOR FISCAL YEAR
TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR FOR
TRAFFIC OPERATIONS TO
RECONFIGURE THE TIMING OF UP TO
SIX THOUSAND TRAFFIC SIGNALS.
FOR LEADING PEDESTRIAN
INTERVALS- PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY
BILL TWENTY TWO SIXTY FOUR- THAT
BILL REQUIRES CALTRANS
IMPLEMENTS THESE LEADING
PEDESTRIAN INTERVALS ON ALL OF-
ARE SIGNALS THAT ARE. ACCESSIBLE
TO PEDESTRIANS THAT ARE OWNED BY
THE STATE- AND THAT ARE EITHER
IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA BUSINESS
AREA SAFETY CORRIDOR SCHOOL ZONE
OR AN AREA WITH HIGH PEDESTRIAN.
AND BICYCLIST TRAFFIC. SO REALLY
THIS IS TO ALLOW- TIME FOR A
PEDESTRIAN FOR THE FOR THE
TRAFFIC TO STOP. THEN THE
PEDESTRIAN SIGNAL GOES. WITH A
PERIOD INTERVAL IN BETWEEN TO
ALLOW. TO MAKE SURE THAT TRAFFIC
STOP BEFORE THE PEDESTRIAN
BEGINS ACROSS THE ROAD. EIGHT
CERTAINLY SIMPLE- BUT VERY
WORTHY- IMPROVE IT TO THE SYSTEM
THAT- THAT WILL BE IMPLEMENTED
WITH THIS PROGRAM. THANK YOU FOR
THAT. OKAY. YES THANK YOU FOR
GIVING OKAY. MISTER JIMENEZ-
THANK YOU- WE HAVE NO CONCERNS
WITH THIS PROPOSAL I WILL NOTE
THAT AS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED BY
DEPARTMENT THE PCP- WOULD FIND
THE DEPARTMENT'S ORIGINAL
ESTIMATES ON WHAT WAS CALCULATED
IN THE BILL WHEN IT WAS GOING
THROUGH THE POLICY PROCESS-
THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WITHIN
THE PROPOSAL FOR A FURTHER
AMOUNT WHICH WOULD FULLY COMPLY-
WITH THE INTENTION OF THE BILL
SO JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT
THERE FOR THE LEGISLATURE. IS
THAT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO
RESPOND TO MR K. I CAN IF YOU IF
YOU LIKE SO- WE RECOGNIZE-
DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS-
BUDGET CHANGE OPPOSE A WE HAD
PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE TO THE
LEGISLATURE WHICH YOU WANTED TO
STAY TRUE TO. THAT SAME TIME
RECOGNIZING THAT THE FINAL BILL-
ENVISIONED A LITTLE FASTER
IMPLEMENTATION WE PROVIDED A
DETAILED ALTERNATIVE TO IN OUR
BCP. THAT WOULD IMPLEMENT- THE
FULL- FIVE OR SIX THOUSAND- LPI-
CHANGES IN ABOUT TWO YEARS- BY
SCRATCHING THOSE RESOURCES UP
INTO A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME.
OKAY THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES ANY
QUESTIONS COMMENTS NO OKAY A
PRODUCER'S CRUNCHING IS A IS A

COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS
OF THE CALIFORNIA'S PUBLIC
RECORDS ACT. AS YOU KNOW A
SERIES OF HIGH PROFILE NATIONAL
EVENTS HAVE SHED LIGHT ON THE
BENEFIT OF BODY WORN CAMERAS OR
RECORDING DEVICES AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT. WE FEEL TO BECOME A
PUBLIC EXPECTATION AND PROBABLY
A BEST PRACTICE FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT TO HAVE. VIDEO
RECORDING DEVICES INCLUDING BODY
WORN CAMERAS. WE AT THE- WITH
THE APPROVAL OF THE LEGISLATURE
IN ADMINISTRATION BACK IN TWO
THOUSAND AND SIXTEEN TESTED BODY
WORN CAMERAS IN THE CHP WE
TESTAMENT TO AREAS. THE OAKLAND

ALSO FROM OUR OFFICERS AND- MOST
OFFICERS WILL WAS SURPRISING TO
US- WANTED TO WEAR THE CAMERAS
WANTED TO RECORD THOSE
INTERACTIONS. THERE IS ALSO A
POSITIVE RESPONSE FROM DISTRICT

NINE THE PRE STOP OBSERVATIONS
THE INTERACTION WITH THE VEHICLE
IS RECORDED BUT WE'RE MISSING
THAT PIECE WITH THE INTERACTION
WITH THE OFFICER AND THE- THE
PUBLIC. AND BODY WORN CAMERAS

FEEL THE PROJECT WILL GREATLY
BENEFIT THE SEABEES EFFORT FOR
INCREASED ACCOUNTABILITY OUR
GOALS TO BE MORE TRANSPARENT.
AND TO POLICE TO THE STANDARDS
THAT THE PUBLIC EXPECTS. IF

PROVIDE BODY WORN CAMERAS FOR
EVERY UNIFORMED CHP EMPLOYEE

INTERACT WITH THE- ONBOARD

OPPORTUNITY PRESENT ON THIS
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU COMMISSIONER- THE L.
A. O. I UNDERSTAND MISS RACHEL
ELDERS. MAY RETAILERS FROM. IN
THAT BREAK OUT WE DIDN'T RAISE
ANY CONCERNS WITH THIS PROPOSAL
IT DOES SEEM THAT IT WOULD. GO A
LONG WAY TOWARDS INCREASING
ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY
HOWEVER WE THINK THE COMMENT
RAISED IN YOUR STAFF COMMENTS IN
YOUR GENDER IS AN IMPORTANT ONE
WHICH IS THAT THIS IS PROPOSED
TO BE FUNDED OUT OF THE MOTOR

IMPLEMENTATION. NOT THAT WE'RE
AWARE OF WHAT YOU KNOW THE
PILOTS OFFERED US AN OPPORTUNITY
TO LEARN SOME VALUABLE LESSONS
WHEN IT COMES TO TRAINING THE
POLICIES PROCEDURES INTERACTING
WITH D. A.'S. THE PUBLIC RECORDS
ACT- SO WE'VE LEARNED A LOT OF
VALUABLE LESSONS WITH ANYTHING
WITH THE SIZE AND SCOPE WHEN
YOU'RE ROLLING OUT NEW EQUIPMENT

WE'RE CONFIDENT IN OUR ABILITY
AND OUR STAFF TO OVERCOME THAT.
OKAY AND- WHEN YOU RECEIVE A

BE REVIEWED AND WE'RE GONNA
REVIEW IT FOR INFORMATION THAT
SHOULD BE REDACTED THAT WERE NOT
ALLOWED TO RELEASE BY THE
STATUTE. IF THAT INFORMATION IS
THERE IS PERSONAL INFORMATION ON
THERE EITHER FROM THIRD PARTIES
OR STUFF THAT WOULD BE
INAPPROPRIATE FOR US TO RELEASE.
THAT VIDEO IS SENT TO SACRAMENTO

HERE IN SACRAMENTO WE HAVE A
STAFF OF ANALYSTS THAT HAVE THE-
KNOWLEDGE AND THE EXPERTISE AND
REDACTING THAT INFORMATION- THEY
REDACT THAT INFORMATION THAT
WE'RE UNABLE TO RELEASE AND THEN

EFFICIENT WE- OF THOSE BILLS I
JUST MENTIONED WERE RETROACTIVE
AND SO WE HAD TO GO BACK IN. AND
REDACT SEVERAL RECORDS- ON. ON
LARGE CASES THAT- WERE WERE
INTENSIVE MAN HOURS. AND WE'RE
GETTING TO A POINT WHERE WE ARE
ALMOST CAUGHT UP WITH ALL THOSE
AND WE HAVE A PRETTY GOOD
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT TAKES
MOVING FORWARD. TO- MAINTAIN THE
WORKLOAD. THANK YOU THANK YOU
VERY MUCH WELL I APPLAUD YOU
FOR- BEING AHEAD. OF THE GAME
AND- AND SEEING THE POSITIVE-
BENEFITS OF THIS SO. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. SENATOR I JUST WANT
TO SET A MISSIONARY WELCOME- IS
MY FIRST TIME SEEING BEFORE
SEPT- LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING
WITH YOU. THANK YOU SIR LIKEWISE
. SINCE YEAH. OKAY OKAY- ISSUE
TWENTY. FOUR THANK YOU FOR
CAPITAL OUTLAYS RIGHT OKAY-
ISSUE TWENTY FOUR CAPITAL OUTLAY
PROPOSALS ON COMMISSIONER. THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR THAT'S EACH
BEER'S REQUESTING FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND FROM THE GENERAL FUND
TO IDENTIFY SUITABLE PARCELS FOR
REPLACING UP TO FIVE ADDITIONAL
FIELD OFFICES. AND DEVELOP CITES
STUDIES PARCELS. ADDITIONALLY
REQUESTING A JUST UNDER ELEVEN
MILLION FROM THE GENERAL FUND
FOR THE PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
PHASE. OF THE CAPITAL OUTLAY
PROJECTS FOR THE READING LOS
BANOS PORTER BILL ANTELOPE
VALLEY AND BARSTOW AREA OFFICE
REPLACEMENT PROJECTS.
ADDITIONALLY EIGHTY FIVE POINT
SIX MILLION FROM THE PUBLIC
BUILDINGS CONSTRUCTION FUND FOR
THE DESIGN BUILD PHASE OF THE
GOLD RUN AND HUMBOLDT AREA
OFFICE REPLACEMENT PROJECTS. AND
FINALLY A HUNDRED EIGHTY FOUR
POINT THREE MILLION FROM THE
PUBLIC BUILDINGS CONSTRUCTION
FUND TO REPLACE EXISTING CURRENT
YOUR AUTHORITY OF THE SAME
AMOUNT FROM THE GENERAL FUND.
FOR THE DESIGN BUILD PHASE OF
THE QUINCY BALDWIN PARK AND
SANTA FE AREA OFFICE REPLACEMENT
PROJECTS. WELL LET ME SAY I
UNDERSTAND THE QUESTIONS AND
CONCERNS MAYBE WITH THE FUNDING
SOURCES OF THESE PROJECTS BUT IT
AND ALL DEFERRED BERMAN OF
FINANCE ON THOSE ARE INDEED YES
BUT- WE DETERMINE THE
SUITABILITY OF THESE PROJECTS
THE SOME OF THESE PROJECTS ARE
IN DIRE STRAITS- SOME OF THESE
BUILDINGS OR SEVERELY UNDERSIZED
MANY OF THEM ARE EIGHTY TO
NINETY YEARS OLD- THEY HAVE
SEISMIC ISSUES. AND SO- THERE IS
QUITE A CRITERIA THAT GOES INTO-
DETERMINING WHICH OF THESE ARE
SELECTED FOR CAPITAL OUTLAY
PROJECTS. JUST LEAVE YOU WITH
THAT THANK YOU THANK YOU- MISS
SANDERS. THANK YOU US SO WE
DIDN'T RAISE ANY CONCERNS WITH
THE SPECIFIC PROJECTS AND
SIMILARLY THE PROPOSAL TO SHIFT
FROM FUNDING THEM WITH GENERAL
FUND CASH TO LEASE REVENUE BONDS
MAKES SENSE GIVEN THE GENERAL
FUND CONDITION. WHAT WE DO IS AS
IS DETAILED IN YOUR AGENDA HAVE
SOME CONCERNS ABOUT IS WHAT IS
GOING TO BE THE FUNDS SOURCE TO
PAY THE DEBT SIR. ON THESE LEASE
REVENUE BONDS HAS NOT YET BEEN
IDENTIFIED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE. AND THAT RAISES
CONCERNS FOR A COUPLE REASONS
ONE IS IF YOU'RE BORROWING MONEY
YOU SHOULD HAVE A PLAN FOR HOW
YOU'RE GOING TO PAY IT OFF BUT
ALSO BECAUSE THE TWO PRIME
SOURCES FOR PAYING THAT DEBT
SERVICE. HI I HAVE A LOT OF
TRADE OFFS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM
ONE IS THE MOTOR VEHICLES
ACCOUNT WHICH IS TYPICALLY WHAT
HAS SUPPORTED- THE DEPARTMENT
AND THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE
FROM A POLICY REASON TO HAVE
DRIVERS AND THE FEES THEY PAY
SUPPORT THESE SERVICES. HOWEVER
AS WAS MENTIONED I ALREADY IN
THE PREVIOUS ITEM AND IS NOTED
IN YOUR AGENDA THIS ACCOUNT HAS
A STRUCTURAL IMBALANCE IN
ALREADY UNDER THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL EVEN WITHOUT ACCOUNTING
FOR THESE DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS.
WOULD HAVE A DEFICIT IN THE OUT
YEARS SO THAT THERE'S SOME
CONCERNS THERE. ON THE GENERAL
FUND SIDE THIS WOULD BE A POLICY
SHIFT TO HAVE GENERAL TAXPAYERS
THROUGH THE GENERAL FUND SUPPORT
THESE. PROGRAMS AND AS WE ALL
KNOW THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS
ABOUT THE FISCAL HEALTH OF THE
GENERAL FUND AS WELL. SO REALLY
OUR PRIME RECOMMENDATION TO YOU
HERE THERE THERE ARE TRADE OFFS
THERE AREN'T EASY ANSWERS HERE
BUT IDENTIFY AND HAVE A PLAN FOR
HOW YOU'RE GOING TO PAY THAT
DEBT SERVICE FOR THESE BEFORE
YOU TAKE ON- THESE. THESE NEW
DEBT ON BEHALF OF THE STATE- AND
THOSE COMMENTS WILL APPLY AS
WELL TO THE NEXT ISSUE BECAUSE
IT'S A SIMILAR- THE PROPOSAL FOR
BOTH C. H. P. AND D. M. V. FOR
CAPITAL OUTLAY. THE SWITCH TO
LEASE REVENUE BONDS WITHOUT A
PLAN. THANK YOU. I'M DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE MISTER KATZ. HELLO A
RANDY KATZ OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE. THANK YOU CENTER
VERIZON- WE'D LIKE TO. SUFFERS
ALWAYS SUPPORT THE CHP
WHOLEHEARTEDLY OF IN EXPRESSING
THE NEED FOR- THESE CONTINUING
PROJECTS. BUT TO SPEAK
SPECIFICALLY TO THAT ALEJO'S
POINT ABOUT THAT SERVICE. THE
ADMINISTRATION IS- IS VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT. HAVING THE
FLEXIBILITY TO DETERMINE WHICH
IS APPROPRIATE BETWEEN MBA OR
GENERAL FUND TO PAY DEBT
SERVICE. WE WOULD NOTE THAT FOR
THE CHP PROJECTS THE FIRST
PAYMENT WOULD BE IN TWENTY SIX
TWENTY SEVEN IF NOT LATER THAT
DAY DEBT SERVICE HAPPENS ONCE
BONDS ARE SOLD WHICH HAPPENS
ONCE PROJECTS. ARE COMPLETED OR
OR VERY CLOSE TO COMPLETION. SO
THAT IS- LIKE THE TAIL END OF
MPA PROJECTIONS AS WE KNOW
RECENTLY IT'S HARD ENOUGH TO
PROJECT. NEXT YEAR MUCH LESS
FOUR YEARS OUT OR THE TWENTY
FIVE YEARS BEYOND THAT FOR WHICH
THAT SERVICE WILL BE PAID. THAT
SAID THAT SERVICES PROVIDED EACH
YEAR IN THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET SO
WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CONCERNS IF
AS PART OF EACH YEAR'S BUDGET
DELIBERATION. THE DEBT SERVICE
FOR THAT GIVEN YEAR SO TWENTY
SIX TWENTY SEVEN OR AT THE TAIL
END TWENTY FIFTY TWO BUT EACH
YEAR THIRDS DELIBERATION ON
WHETHER AND VA OR GENERAL FUND
IS MOST APPROPRIATE. SO YOU'RE
SAYING EACH YEAR THE
MINISTRATIONS GOING TO DETERMINE
WHICH ONE IS GOING TO REPAY- THE
CORRECT FROM THE BONDHOLDERS
PERSPECTIVE THEY JUST NEED TO
KNOW THAT THE BONDS WOULD BE
REPAID. BUT FOR PURPOSES OF OUR
BUDGET HERE TO WE NEED TO KNOW
THAT- FOR THE FOR PURCHASING
LATER AT LEAST REVENUE. IT'S
IT'S A REQUIREMENT THAT WE- USE
BASICALLY THE RENTAL STREAM OF
THOSE BUILDINGS ONCE THEY'RE
COMPLETE OR NEAR COMPLETED TO
PAY BACK THOSE BONDS. AND SO
THAT'S DONE IS THAT SERVICE
WHICH IS CAN BE PROVIDED- THE
THERE'S- NO PRECLUSION SOME LAW
UNDER WHICH FUND SOURCES USED.
AND CERTAINLY THERE'S A
PREFERENCE TO BE ABLE TO USE THE
NBA SHOULD THE NPA BE ABLE TO
SUSTAIN SUCH A PAYMENT WITHOUT
HAVING TO SACRIFICE THE OTHER
PURPOSES FUNDED FROM THE MTA.
BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT- THAT
SERVICE IS BUDGETED EACH YEAR
IT'S ACTUALLY A DISTINCT ITEM IN
THE CHP DMV'S OR CAL FIRE'S OR
CORRECTIONS WHATEVER DEPARTMENTS
BUDGETS. AND AT THAT POINT BASED
ON HOW THE GENERAL FUND OR THE
NBA IS LOOKING WE WOULD MAKE A
DECISION AS PART OF OUR
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET ON WHICH FUND
SOURCE TO USE. AT THE END THAT
CAN BE SUBJECT TO DELIBERATION.
OKAY THANK YOU. YES SENATOR. I'M
NOT A BIG FAN OF DEBT SERVICE.
SIX HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE. MILLION
DOLLARS FOR THREE HUNDRED AND
TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
WORTH OF. BUILDINGS WE SHOULD BE
LOOKING AT FINDING FUNDING. AND
MAKE IT A PRIORITY BECAUSE IT
SHOULD BE. TO JUST PAY FOR. AND
THEN WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT
PRIORITY. THIS IS JUST PILING
PRIORITIES ON PRIORITIES AND
PAYING TWICE AS MUCH OF TAX
PAYER DOLLARS. TO GET SOMETHING
DONE THAT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
IF WE WOULD JUST PRIORITIZE
CORRECTLY- I'M GLAD AND I'M SURE
THE GOVERNOR'S GLAD I AM NOT
HAPPY THERE WITH HIM DO IN THIS
BUDGET BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF
THINGS THAT WE COULD CHANGE IN
THIS BUDGET. TO GET A LOT MORE
THINGS DONE THAT PEOPLE NEED
DONE. TO KEEP THEM SAFE. AND
GIVEN SOME ADEQUATE WORKING
CONDITIONS. AND- AND SO- I YOU
KNOW I WOULD I WOULD HOPE THAT
WE CAN FIND THE FUNDING TO DO
THIS WITHOUT. GOING MORE INTO
DEBT IN THE STATE ALREADY IS IN.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SENATOR
NEWMAN NO NOT OKAY. HE SAID
THANK YOU ON THE SAME I GUESS
QUESTIONS APPLY HERE WITH- ISSUE
TWENTY FIVE- WE HAVE THE
DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE-
CAPITAL OUTLAY PROPOSALS-

WHAT CHART I'D RAZA AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS- MY NAME IS
LEE SCOTT CHIEF BUDGET OFFICER
AT THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR
VEHICLES. WITH ME TODAY IS OUR
DIRECTOR STEVE GORDON. THANK YOU
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY JUST TO
COMMITTEE TODAY HARTMAN HAS
THREE ISSUES ON THE AGENDA TODAY
I LIKE TO PROVIDE A QUICK
OVERVIEW OF EACH AND THEN WE ARE
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
YOU MAY HAVE. WITH THE THREE
ISSUES DEORBITED JUST READ OUT
GO THROUGH ALL THREE AND THOUGHT
STOPPAGE THANK WILL TO. ALSO FOR
THE FIRST IS THE EL CENTRO
BRAWLEY FIELD OFFICE- COMMERCIAL
DRIVE INVESTIGATION
CONSOLIDATION PROJECT. DEVIOUS
REQUESTING TWO MILLION FOUR
HUNDRED FIFTY EIGHT THOUSAND
FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO FUND
THE PERFORMANCE CRITERIA FACE
FOR THE CONTINUING TO GIVE V. EL
CENTRO BRAWLEY- DMV FIELD OFFICE
AND COMMERCIAL DRIVE TEST CENTER
REPLACEMENT PROJECT. THE
ACQUISITION PHASE WAS FUNDED IN
FISCAL YEAR TWENTY TWO TWENTY
THREE FOR THREE POINT ONE
MILLION FROM THE GENERAL FUND.
FUNDING FOR THE DESIGN BUILD
PHASE WILL BE REQUESTED A
SUBSEQUENT REQUEST TO UTILIZE
THESE REVENUE BOND FUNDS. THE EL
CENTRO FIELD OFFICE IS NO LONGER
A VIABLE LOCATION DUE TO THE
STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL
DEFICIENCIES. THIS PROJECT WILL
CONSOLIDATE EL CENTRO FIELD
OFFICE WITH CURRENTLY AT LEAST
PROBABLY FIELD OFFICE LOCATION
AS WELL AS LOCAL INVESTIGATIONS.
THE COMMERCIAL DRIVE- DRIVER
LICENSING PROGRAMS. THAT'S THE
FIRST ONE. THE SECOND ONE IS THE
INGLEWOOD ONSITE REPLACEMENT
PROJECT. DEVIOUS REQUESTED TO
REVERT TWENTY MILLION NINE
HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND
FROM THE GENERAL FUND AND
REPLACE IT WITH FUNDING FROM THE
PUBLIC BUILDINGS CONSTRUCTION
FUND. THE LEASE REVENUE BONDS
FOR THE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THE
INGLEWOOD FIELD OFFICE
REPLACEMENT PROJECT.
CONSTRUCTION OF AN ONSITE
REPLACEMENT FACILITY THAT
COMPLIES WITH CURRENT BUILDING
CODES IS TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED
FOR OCTOBER OF TWENTY TWENTY
THREE. THIS PROJECT WILL REPLACE
THE FACILITY CONSTRUCTED IN
NINETEEN SEVENTY TWO THAT IS
SPACE DEFICIENT NONCOMPLIANT THE
CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODES. THE
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
AND AS FUNCTIONALLY AND SIDES
WITH DEFICIENT. THE SITE AND
BUILDING WILL BE DESIGNED TO
ENSURE THAT THE SAFETY AND
SECURITY OF BOTH CUSTOMERS. AND
EMPLOYEES. WILL BE ALL CURRENT
CODE REQUIREMENTS IT'S ALSO-
ADDRESSING THE US GREEN BUILDING
COUNCIL'S LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY.
ENVIRONMENT DESIGN CRITERIA.
ALSO THE NEW STRUCTURE WILL BE
DESIGNED. IN A MANNER CONSISTENT
WITH THE DEPARTMENT'S FIELD
OFFICE WORKFLOW DESIGN STANDARDS
TO MORE EFFICIENTLY AND
EFFECTIVELY SERVICE CUSTOMERS.
BUT THE CONCLUSION OF THE SECOND
ONE. THE LAST ITEM IS THE SAN
FRANCISCO ONSITE REPLACEMENT
PROJECT. DMV IS REQUESTING FORTY
ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED FIFTY
FOUR THOUSAND TO FUND THE DESIGN
BUILD PHASE. OF THE SAN
FRANCISCO FIELD OFFICE- ONSITE
REPLACEMENT PROJECT. UTILIZING
LEASE REVENUE BOND FUNDS AGAIN.
THE PERFORMANCE CRITERIA PHASE
WAS FUNDED IN FISCAL YEAR TWENTY
ONE TWENTY TWO FOR TWO AND A
HALF MILLION. THE SIXTY TWO YEAR
OLD AGED AND OBSOLETE BUILDING
WILL BE REPLACED ON SITE WITH
THE FACILITY THAT COMPLIES WITH
CURRENT BUILDING CODES HAS NEW
BOTTOM BUILDING SYSTEMS. IS
COMPLY WITH ADA REQUIREMENTS AND
ENERGY EFFICIENT. ALSO AS A
RESULT OF THE EXECUTIVE ORDER-
AND ZERO SIX NINETEEN FOR THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
RESOLUTION. THE TIME LINE FOR
COMPLETION MADE CHANGES GIVE
YEARS WORKING TO DO JUST WHAT IF
I OPTIONS TO SATISFY THE HOUSING
RESOLUTION- IN THE SPACE. THE
TENTATIVE COMPLETION DATE FOR
THIS PROJECT IS JULY OF TWENTY
TWENTY SIX. AND AS A REMINDER
EACH OF THESE PROPOSALS IS A
CONTINUING PROJECT- THAT WERE
APPROVED IN PREVIOUS FISCAL
YEARS IT GENERALLY TAKES SEVERAL
YEARS TO ACQUIRE LAND IN THE
SIDE OF THE PROJECT. AND AS WE
WATER THE STATE'S- FUTURE
FUNDING CONDITIONS- AT THE
MOMENT WE ARE UTILIZING LEASE
REVENUE BONDS AND I'VE BEEN
REQUESTED TO LEASE THESE NEW
CAPITAL OUTLAY PROJECTS. AS EACH
BE ECHOED IN THE PREVIOUS
STATEMENTS AND WE ALSO HAVE OLD
BUILDING SEISMIC ISSUES- THAT WE
NEED TO STILL BE ABLE TO
ADDRESS. YOUR HAPPY ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS PLEASE PRESS. THANK
YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH- YES THE
SAILORS THANK YOU. AT SO YEP
SAME COMMENCEMENT AND WE DON'T
HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE
SPECIFIC PROJECTS IT'S REALLY
JUST THE FUNDING PLAN I THINK
ONE THING I WOULD ADD. IS SOME
OF THE DOWNSIDES OF WAITING TO
IDENTIFY LATER IF YOU'RE GOING
TO WANT TO USE THE M. VA YOU'RE
GONNA WANT TO TAKE STEPS SOONER
RATHER THAN LATER TO ADDRESS THE
OPERATING SHORTFALL THERE.
WHETHER THAT'S RAISING
ADDITIONAL REVENUES ARE REDUCING
EXPENDITURES TO MAKE ROOM FOR
THIS YOU DON'T KNOW ME IN KIND
OF WAIT AND HOPE THAT THERE'S
ENOUGH MONEY THERE YOU COULD
ACTUALLY TAKE ACTION. TO ENSURE
IF YOU WANNA USE GENERAL FUND
YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO BUILD THAT
INTO YOUR MULTI YEAR BUDGET PLAN
SO THAT YOU HAVE A SENSE FOR
YOUR OUT YEARS OF WHAT THE
GENERAL FUND CONDITION WOULD BE
AND JUST THIS WAIT AND SEE WILL
DECIDE. IN THE YEAR WE WANT TO
FUND IT WOULD PRECLUDE DOING
THAT SO- AGAIN JUST JUST A FEW
MORE REASONS TO UNDERSCORE. IF
YOU'RE GONNA TAKE ON JEWS TO USE
LEASE REVENUE BOND APPROACH AND
TAKE ON DEBT HAVING A PLAN. THAT
CAN HELP BUILD THESE INTO YOUR
LONGER TERM- AGENDA FOR HOW
YOU'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THIS.
THANK YOU GREAT. YOU YES MISTER
. YES SEVENTY CAST WITH PINE
FINANCE- SAME THING AS A C. H.
P- THE SAME COMMENTS THAT WERE
MADE EXCEPT TO SAY THAT. WE
SUPPORT DMV'S PROJECTS- AS FOR
UP AND THEN I'LL- AS FOR THE
MULTI YEAR WE UNDERSTAND THAT
IT'S IMPORTANT WE JUST WANT TO
REITERATE THAT THE FIRST YEAR OF
DEBT SERVICE FUNDING. WOULD BE.
THE LAST YEAR OF MULTI YEAR AND
USUALLY THAT IS THE ONE THAT HAS
THE MOST UNCERTAINTY FOR. A
HUNDRED OTHER REASONS. OKAY
THANK YOU. SIR YES. OR THE STATE
COULD JUST GIVE THE DMV BACK TO
SEVEN HUNDRED FORTY MILLION
DOLLARS AT THE BORROWED FROM
THE- DMV IS FINE PUT INTO THE
STATE FUND. AND THEN THEY COULD
PROBABLY BUILD THEIR BUILDINGS
AND WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO GET
SERVICE AGAIN- THIS IS THIS IS A
GREAT EXAMPLE OF WHY WE
SHOULDN'T BE SKIMMING MONEY OFF
OF- ARE AGENCIES BECAUSE- THE
MONEY THAT WE PAY TO THE DMV
FROM A TAXPAYERS STANDPOINT. IS
ACTUALLY. TAXES IT'S TAX MONEY
AND IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO TO A
SPECIFIC PURPOSE WHEN THE STATE
TAKES MONEY OUT OF THAT FOR A
SPECIFIC PURPOSE. AND ALTHOUGH
THEY TOOK ONE POINT TWO THEY DID
PAY SOME OF IT BACK- THAT GOT
ALMOST CONSTITUTES AN ILLEGAL
TAX AND IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T. UP
HOLD THE- THE INTENT OF PROP
TWENTY SIX. SO THERE'S A STATE
LOOK AT DOING THAT MAY BE PAYING
BACK THE AGENCIES THAT- THEY'VE
BORROWED MONEY FROM OVER THE
YEARS ARE TOOK TAKING TAKEN
MONEY BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T PAY
IT BACK IT'S NOT. REALLY A
BORROWING IT'S A TAKING. AND
BECAUSE THAT WOULD HELP AGENCIES
STAY SOLVENT IN IN IN THEIR
OPERATIONS AND PROBABLY BETTER
SERVE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SO
FRUSTRATED. BECAUSE THEY HAVE
BEEN ADEQUATE FACILITIES TO
SERVE THE NEED THAT'S OUT THERE
. YEAH I'M SORRY ON AS THE CAP
OUT LANDLESS I CAN SPEAK TO IN
OKAY. I I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN
TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT WITH THAT
ONE- BUT IT WAS JUST POINTING
OUT THAT YOU KNOW THAT'S ONE OF
THE STRATEGIES THAT'S BEEN USED
OVER THE YEARS. TO RATE ARE
DIFFERENT POTS OF MONEY THAT ARE
NOT REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE THAT
THE TAXPAYERS THINK IS BEING
USED FOR THAT THEN THEY WONDER
WHY THEY GET SUCH BAD SERVICE.
SOME BECAUSE THE PEOPLE DON'T
CARE IT'S BECAUSE THEY DON'T
HAVE THIS THE TOOLS THEY NEED
AND OTHER TOOLS ANY BECAUSE THE
MONEY GOT TAKEN AWAY. SO I WOULD
RATHER SEE A PLAN THAT SAYS HEY
LET'S PAY THESE PEOPLE BACK. AND
AND- IN THAT WAY THEY DON'T HAVE
TO COME OUT AND TRY TO DO
REVENUE BONTA SAID CREDIT. TO
TRY TO BUILD FACILITIES ARE
DESPERATELY NEEDED. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR. OKAY WHERE
WE'RE DONE HERE- WE'RE GOING TO
MOVE ON THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK
- WE WILL NOW MOVE ON TO ANYONE
WANTING TO PROVIDE PUBLIC
COMMENT. AS A REMINDER TODAY'S
PARTICIPANT NUMBER IS EIGHT FOUR
FOUR. TWO NINE ONE FIVE FOUR
NINE ONE. AND THE ACCESS CODE IS
. SEVEN ZERO FOUR TWO FOUR SEVEN
SEVEN- WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH
ANY WITNESSES HERE IN ROOM. ONE
TWELVE. AND THEN WE'LL MOVE ON-
TWO INDIVIDUALS ARE ON THE PHONE
LINES. SO AGAIN PLEASE IDENTIFY
YOURSELF AND- A QUICK COMMENT.
THANK YOU GO AHEAD RUNNING MADAM
CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
KIANA VALENTINE ON BEHALF OF
TRANSPORTATION CALIFORNIA HERE
TO COMMENT ON ITEM SEVENTEEN
FROM EARLIER THIS MORNING-
WANTED TO EXPRESS OUR
APPRECIATION TO THE COMMITTEE
FOR THE ROBUST DIALOGUE ABOUT
HOW TO BEST. ADDRESS THE BUDGET
SHORTFALLS YOU ARE FACING IN THE
DIFFICULT DECISIONS THAT YOU'RE
LOOKING AT WITH RESPECT TO
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS- AND WE
RECOGNIZE THAT GENERAL FUND
SOLUTIONS- FROM THE
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM WILL
LIKELY HAVE TO BE A PART OF THE
OVERALL BUDGET SOLUTION. I
TRANSPORTATION CALIFORNIAN THAT
TRANSPORTATION CONSTRUCTION
INDUSTRY WERE STRONG PROPONENTS
OF THE GENERAL FUND MULTI MODAL
TRANSPORTATION PACKAGE LAST YEAR
AND SO IT'S OF COURSE
DISAPPOINTING TO BE IN A
POSITION JUST SIX MONTHS LATER-
THAT YOU'RE HAVING TO FACE
REDUCTIONS. A MULTI MODAL
TRANSPORTATION NEEDS ABOUND
GIVEN THE TIME CONSTRAINTS IN
THE LONG LINE OF PUBLIC
TESTIMONY I WILL NOT RE ITERATE
FOR YOU WHAT YOU ALL KNOW. A
MULTIMODAL NEEDS ACROSS THE
STATE ARE IN THE TENS OF
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. IN SO FOR
THAT REASON WE ARE VERY
CONCERNED WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSALS TO
BACK FILLED THE GENERAL FUND
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING PACKAGE
WITH STATE HIGHWAY ACCOUNT
DOLLARS- THE TRANSPORTATION
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY WOULD NOT
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SUPPORT THE
NOTION OF A FUN SHIFT AS A
STANDALONE PROGRAM. LAST YEAR- I
ALSO WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT
BRIEFLY ON THE NOTION THAT I I.
J. A. CAN SERVE AS A WAY TO
SUPPORT TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS
THROUGH SH FUND SHIFTS FROM THE
STATE HIGHWAY ACCOUNT. AS LONG
AS I'VE BEEN WORKING ON
TRANSPORTATION ARE ALMOST TWENTY
YEARS NOW WE'VE BEEN CALLING ON
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BE A
STRONG FUNDING PARTNER. AND SO
IT IT A TIME WHEN THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT FINALLY STEPS UP
INCREASES FEDERAL TRADE- TATIAN
FINDING. IT SEEMS IRONIC THEN
THAT WE WOULD BE RELYING ON THAT
TO JUSTIFY REDUCTIONS FROM STATE
INVESTMENTS- AGAIN I THINK WE'RE
JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE BAD
PRECEDENT THAT IT SETS TODAY. I
RECOGNIZE THAT YOU HAVE A LONG
WAY TO GO TO DETERMINE THE FINAL
BUDGET WE LOOK FOR DEBT FUTURE
CONVERSATIONS ON THIS THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. THANK
YOU. AND IF EVERYONE COULD LIMIT
TO A MINUTE I WOULD REALLY
APPRECIATE IT SO WE CAN GIVE
EVERYONE THE OPPORTUNITY THANK
YOU SIR THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS COMMITTEE MANY LEON WITH
THE CALIFORNIA ALLIANCE FOR JOBS

DELIVERING ON THE STATE'S
CLIMATE MOBILITY PUBLIC HEALTH
INEQUITY OBJECTIVES. FURTHER
HISTORIC LEVELS OF TERROR C. P.
FUNDING WAS A. THE LAST YEAR.
AND SHOULD BE UPHELD FOR THAT
REASON. TRANSIT AGENCIES ARE
ALSO IN DIRE NEED OF ADDITIONAL
OPERATIONS FUNDING TO HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO REBOUND FROM LOW
RIDERSHIP NUMBERS CAUSED BY THE
PANDEMIC. WELL WE LOOK FORWARD
TO PROVIDING THE LEGISLATURE

POINT- ARE WE FACE COMPETING
PRIORITIES WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT OUR FARES REMAIN LOW
ESPECIALLY FOR ON THIS TRANSIT
DEPENDENT RIDERS WANT TO MAKE
SURE OUR BUSES ARE CLEAN. AND
SAFE- AND MOST PROFOUNDLY WE ARE
FACING- SIGNIFICANT REQUIREMENTS
FROM THE STATE TO REPLACE OUR
BUS- OUR ENTIRE BUS FLEET- SO
THAT THEIR- ZERO ADDITION AND AN
TRANSIT FUNDING IS A ZERO SUM
GAME IT'S ONE HIGH AND SO AS WE
TAKE FROM ONE- IT'S GOING TO A
FACT- ALL OF THE REST OF THE
TRANSIT OPERATIONS WITHIN-
WITHIN OUR AGENCY IN WITHIN THE
STATE SO THE- TWO BILLION DOLLAR
REDUCTION TO THE T. I. R. C. P.

GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS ARE BACK ALONG WITH THE
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION THAT WE ARE THE NINE
COUNTY REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION
PLANNING AGENCY FOR THE SAN
FRANCISCO BAY AREA. AND JUST
WANTED TO CALL OUT THE LETTER
THAT WE SENT LAST NIGHT THAT HAS
OVER A HUNDRED AND EIGHT
DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS WE'VE
BEEN BUILDING A REALLY STRONG
COALITION IN THE BAY AREA PUBLIC
TRANSIT IS VITAL TO THE BAY
AREA. WELL OUR RIDERSHIP IS DOWN
WE CARRIED ABOUT TWENTY TWO
MILLION TRIPS LAST YEAR BUT WE
ARE LOOKING AT MAJOR MAJOR CUTS
TO OUR TRANSIT SYSTEMS
PARTICULARLY SOME OF OUR LARGEST
SYSTEMS THAT ARE VITAL. ONTO
INCLUDING- ENSURING MOBILITY IN
THE REGION- I DID WANT TO JUST
AT ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH THE
COMMENTS OF CALIFORNIA TRANSIT
ASSOCIATION WE STRONGLY- OBJECT
TO THE CUTS TO TERCET BUT WE
ALSO VERY MUCH DO YOU NEED A
MULTI YEAR. ON LIMITED TERM
TRANSIT OPERATIONS SUPPORT FROM
THE STATE. ON THE EXTENT OF THE
NEED IS TOO LARGE FOR. OPERATORS
TO JUST ADJUST ON WITHOUT MAKING
MAJOR SERVICE CUTS AND SO WE
REALLY ARE LOOKING TO THE STATE
TO GET CREATIVE AND FIND A
LIMITED TERM MULTI YEAR- SUPPORT
SO THAT THESE AGENCIES DON'T
HAVE TO MAKE DEVASTATING CUTS
THAT WILL. DISPROPORTIONATELY
HURT LOW INCOME PEOPLE PEOPLE OF
COLOR AS WELL AS UNDERMINE OUR
CLIMATE GOALS THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. MORNING STEVE WALK OF
BEHALF OF THE ONLY TWO
CHARACTERS TATIAN COMMISSION.
THE GOAL GET BRIDGE DISTRICT THE
NET AND THE NAPA VALLEY
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY AND THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION FOR
COORDINATED TRANSPORTATION- WANT
TO ECHO THE COMMENTS MADE BY MTC
AND CAL AND THAT. THE CTA
EARLIER YEAH I REALLY WANT TO-
URGE YOUR SUPPORT FOR CAN
MAINTAIN THE COMMITMENT TO THE
CAPITAL FUNDS THAT WERE IN THE
BUDGET. BUT ALSO- MORE
IMPORTANTLY. DEVELOPING A MULTI
YEAR- COMMITTEE FOR TRANSIT
OPERATIONS THAT'S CRITICAL TO
COULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING IN
THE SHORT TERM BEFORE SERVICE
CUTS ARE STEPS CARL OUT OF
CONTROL. THANKS THANK YOU. HELLO
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS ON THE
REST OF ME DOES ON BEHALF OF THE
TRANSBAY JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY
REGARDING ISSUE SEVENTEEN. WE'D
LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR GRATITUDE TO
THE LEGISLATURE AND THE
ADMINISTRATION FOR THEIR
CRITICAL INVESTMENTS IN PUBLIC
TRANSIT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS.
HOWEVER WE ARE VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT THE PROPOSED CUTS AS
OTHERS MENTIONED FOR THE TRANSIT
INTERCITY RAIL CAPITAL PROGRAM-
IN THE AMOUNT OF TWO BILLION
DOLLARS. THE TJ PA IS TASKED
WITH DELIVERING THE DOWNTOWN
RAIL EXTENSION PROJECT NOW KNOWN
AS THE PORTAL- WHICH WILL BE
CONNECTING CALTRAIN SEVENTY TWO
MILE SYSTEM ALONG WITH BUILDING
THE NORTHERN TERMINUS FOR HIGH
SPEED RAIL. THIS PROJECT IS
CURRENTLY LIKE WHAT OTHER
PROJECTS IN THE FEDERAL TRANSIT
ADMINISTRATION'S CAPITAL
INVESTMENTS GRANT PROGRAM WHICH
WILL PROVIDE UP TO A 50% PROJECT
COST MATCH- THE STATE'S TRANSIT.
INTERCITY RAIL CAPITAL PROGRAM
IS A MAJOR SOURCE OF NON FEDERAL
FUNDS THAT ARE MATCHING FUNDS.
SO IF CUTS ARE MADE OF THIS
PROGRAM WE WITH THE REAL
POSSIBILITY OF NOT MEETING OUR
LOCAL MATCH REQUIREMENTS MEANING
WE ALTERNATELY SACRIFICE
BILLIONS IN FEDERAL DOLLARS. AND
FURTHER SUBJECT OURSELVES TO
FURTHER COST ESCALATION WHICH
FOR DETOX IS ABOUT THREE HUNDRED
MILLION PER YEAR. SO WE LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING CLOSELY WITH

ONE POINT TWO BILLION. ONE TIME
SPENDING FOR THE SUPPLY CHAIN
PACKAGE OR THE LAST FOUR YEARS
CALIFORNIA'S PORTS AND SUPPLY
CHAIN HAVE INDOOR. THE MOST
PROLIFIC IN INTENSE BUSINESS
PERIOD THE STATE'S HISTORY. FROM
THE START OF PANDEMIC THE GOODS
MOVEMENT INDUSTRY WAS FORCED TO
ADAPT TO WORKER SHORTAGES
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SUPPLY
CHAIN. AND TO ADAPT TO. DEMANDS
THAT WERE BEYOND OUR CONTROL. WE
HAD TO ADJUST TO SHORTAGES
EQUIPMENT TRUCKING SERVICES IN
CLEAR CONGESTION TERMINALS WE
DID THAT. ALLING IN GOOD FAITH
AND WE WERE ABLE TO SUSTAIN.
THOSE THINGS. BUT EVEN BEFORE
THE PANDEMIC WE HAD A
SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS WITH THE-
SUPPLY CHAIN IN THE GOVERNMENT'S
IN CALIFORNIA. AND CAL FOUR
PORTS FOR EXPANSION OF THE KIND
OF MARKET SHARE. PRIZES TO BE A
MIX OF THE CONGESTION THAT WE'RE
EXPERIENCING NOW HAS NOT GONE

COMMONSENSE BUT ALSO WILL ALLOW
FOR ALL PARTS OF THE SUPPLY

LOGISTICS. WHICH WILL HAVE
ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL
BENEFITS TO THE STATE. LASTLY
