GOOD MORNING SENATOR PORTANTINO
. WELCOME TO THE COMMITTEE- YOU
HAVE A FILE ITEM NUMBER THREE
WHICH IS S. B. NINETY SIX AND-
YOU'RE ON. THANK YOU- MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS. SB NINETY SIX
IS THE HISTORIC VENUE
RESTORATION IN MARIN CILIC
RESILIENCY ACT AND I'D LIKE TO
BEGIN BY THANKING THE CHAIR. AND
THE COMMITTEE STAFFER WORKING
WITH MY OFFICE ON THIS MEASURE
AND I'M HAPPY TO ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS IN COMMENT
FOR THE ANALYSIS APPRECIATE ALL
THE HARD WORK THAT EVERYBODY'S
PUT INTO THIS WHAT I THINK IS A
VERY IMPORTANT. BILL FOR THAT
THE HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA AS YOU
KNOW WE ARE HOME TO A NUMBER OF
LARGE HISTORIC LIVE
ENTERTAINMENT VENUES SUCH AS THE
ROSE BOWL IN PASADENA WHICH I'M
PROUD TO REPRESENT THE HOLLYWOOD
BOWL IN LOS ANGELES THE
CALIFORNIA MEMORIAL STADIUM IN
BERKELEY AMONGST MANY OTHERS
SENATOR PORTANTINO COULD I
INTERRUPT YOU VERY QUICKLY WE I
BELIEVE WE HAVE A QUORUM SO IF
WE COULD TAKE THE ROLE PLACE
ABSOLUTELY. WE MAY NEVER HAVE IT
AGAIN. SENATORS CABALLERO YOUR
GOVERNMENTAL PRESENCE HERE TO
SEE OUR TURKEY PRESENT LAKE
SUPERIOR. LAKE PRESIDENT DOLLY
TO ADDRESS GLAZE. GLAZER PRESS
SKINNER WINNER WINNER. WIENER
PRESENT WE HAVE A QUORUM WE HAVE
A QUORUM YOU MAY PROCEED CENTER
AND MY ARE MY ARE ARE A PART- NO
YOU HAVE TO GET A QUORUM WHEN
YOU CAN- MEANT AS I MENTIONED
THESE HISTORIC VENUES ARE
SPRINKLED THROUGHOUT. CALIFORNIA
MANY OF THEM ARE OVER A HUNDRED
YEARS OLD OR OLDER- BUT THEY
CONTINUE TO BE VITAL CATALYSTS
FOR OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND
THE STATE- AS THE VENUE SUPPORT.
A LOCAL HOTELS RESTAURANTS AND
ENHANCE RETAIL OPERATIONS AND OF
COURSE TOURISM- I CAN TELL YOU
HOW MUCH FUN IT IS WHEN I GO TO
THE ROSE BOWL EVERY YEAR AND
FOLKS FROM. ACROSS THE COUNTRY
COME TO CALIFORNIA FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN A MARVEL AT THE FOOTHILL
SCENERY AND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE
IN OUR GREAT STATE.
UNFORTUNATELY GIVEN THE ADVANCED
AGE THESE VENUES ARE IN
DESPERATE NEED OF REINVESTMENT.
OR SURROUNDING THEIR
INFRASTRUCTURE. SUSTAINABILITY
PATRON SAFETY PREVENTATIVE
MAINTENANCE AND ACCESSIBILITY-
THESE VENUES HAVE BEEN CRITICAL
TO CALIFORNIA'S SPORTS CULTURE
FOR OVER A CENTURY. AND IN ORDER
TO ENSURE THAT THEY SURVIVE FOR
AT LEAST ANOTHER CENTURY SB
NINETY SIX PROVIDE SOME OF THE
SALES AND USE TAX GENERATED
DURING THE QUALIFYING EVENTS.
BACK TO THE LOCALS TO IMPROVE
AND SECURE THE SITES. THE BILL
DEFINES A VENUE AS BEING
QUALIFIED IT WAS BUILT BEFORE
NINETEEN FORTY. IS DESIGNATED AS
HISTORIC LANDMARK OR AS IT'S
BEEN USED FOR LIVE TICKETED
EVENTS FOR MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS
AND IT ALSO HAS A SEATING
CAPACITY OF AT LEAST FIFTEEN
THOUSAND. AND HOST LIVE
ENTERTAINMENT OR SPORTING EVENTS
AGAIN WE'VE TRIED TO MAKE IT.
NARROWING THE SENSE THAT WE'RE
REALLY TALKING ABOUT THE
HISTORIC VENUES BUT ALSO. TO PUT
SOME PARAMETERS ABOUT WHAT IT
MEANS TO QUALIFY. SIMPLY
INCREASING TICKET PRICES ARE
FEES IS NOT THE ANSWER TO THIS I
MEAN WE DON'T WANT TO PASS. ON
THE BURDEN ON TO THE CONSUMER-
WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER
BURDENS- ALREADY BEING PLACED ON
CONSUMER THIS IS REALLY A POLICY
QUESTION. FOR US- WHETHER WE
VALUE THESE VENUES FOR WHAT THEY
PROVIDE TO THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. FRANKLY IT'S SIMILAR
TO WHAT'S BEEN DONE WITH STATE
FAIRS OR THE MILLS ACT WHICH WAS
ENACTED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO
HISTORIC HOMES- I WOULD ARGUE
THAT KEEPING THESE CROWN JEWELS
OF OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES. SAFER
LIABLE AND COMPETITIVE WITH
NEWER VENUES AND AGAIN A LOT OF
THE NEWER VENUES FRANKLY ARE
BEING. BUILT AND FINANCED BY.
WEALTHY OWNER GROUPS ON THESE
HISTORIC VENUES DON'T HAVE THAT
LUXURY- AND SO THAT'S WHY I
THINK THEY'RE A SPECIAL CASE-
THERE THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
THEY'RE PART OF OUR HISTORY AND
THEY NEED OUR CARE SO WITH ME
TODAY I HAVE GENS- WHEDON FROM
THAT IS THE CEO OF THE ROSE BOWL
AND WE HAVE CARLOS SINGER
DIRECTOR OF GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS
ENGAGEMENT FOR THE LA
PHILHARMONIC. AND WOULD LOVE TO
HAVE YOU HEAR FROM THEM TO. AND-
CONSIDER THIS AT THE APPROPRIATE
TIME FOR AN AYE VOTE. VERY GOOD
WELCOME. WE'RE GIVING EACH
WITNESS TO LEAD WITNESSES TWO
MINUTES SO- EITHER USE UP THE TO
TWO MINUTES OF THE FOUR MINUTES.
I WILL TAKE A CARLOS'S TIME I
PROMISE MADAM CHAIR AND SENATORS
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME-
I'M JEN'S WIDE IN THE GM OF THE-
ROSE BOWL STADIUM- WHICH TURNED
A HUNDRED YEARS OLD LAST YEAR.
AND CELEBRATED CENTENNIAL AND
I'M I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT IT'S
IS VIBRANT. AND RELEVANT TODAY
AS WHEN IT WAS BUILT- WE OVER
THE PAST TEN YEARS HAVE DOUBLE
THE AMOUNT OF LARGE SCALE EVENTS
THAT WE DO. AND INVESTED TENS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
INFRASTRUCTURE AND CAPITAL
PROJECTS- COMPETITION HOWEVER
HAS NEVER BEEN MORE FEARS. AS
THE SENATOR MENTIONED- MULTI
MANY BILLION DOLLAR STADIUMS AND
ARENAS HAVE BEEN FILLED ACROSS
THE STATE. AND WE CONTINUE TO
FIGHT TO TRYING GET MARKET SHARE
AND EVENTS- THAT'S WHY WE'RE SO
EXCITED ABOUT THIS BILL. WE FEEL
THAT- BEING ABLE TO TAKE A SMALL
PORTION OF THE REVENUES THAT
ARE- THAT ARE DERIVED FROM OUR
ACTUAL EVENTS AND INVESTORS BACK
IN OUR BUILDINGS. ONE ABLE US TO
COMPETE IN THAT MARKET AND- AND
STILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE ECONOMIC
IMPACT- YOU KNOW THERE'S AN NBA
PLAYOFF GAME IS GONNA TAKE PLACE
NOT TOO FAR FROM HERE TONIGHT.
THE RESTAURANTS WILL BE BUSY THE
HOTELS WILL BE BUSY PEOPLE WILL
BE WORKING. SAME TAKES PLACE AT
OUR- MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS WHEN WE
DO LARGE SCALE EVENTS. AND WE
BELIEVE. THAT THAT. THIS BILL
WILL ENABLE US TO STAY AS
RELEVANT AS AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE
THAT'S REALLY WHAT'S IMPORTANT
FOR US IS THAT. THESE BUILDINGS
DON'T JUST STILL THERE NOT JUST
STILL ERECTED THE THEORY BEING
USED AND THAT PEOPLE- ARE ARE
GOING TO THEM BECAUSE WE ALL OF
THESE BUILDINGS THERE MUNICIPAL
BUILDINGS AND AS THAT AS WAS
MENTIONED EARLIER- SOMETIMES OUR
RESOURCES AREN'T THE SAME. AS AS
PRO SPORTS TEAMS AND PRO SPORTS

STRUCTURES THANK YOU. VERY MUCH
. GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR AND
HONORABLE MEMBERS THANK YOU

THE CHAIR AND MEMBERS- FOR
LETTING ME PRESENT SB EIGHT
THIRTY FOUR WHICH PLACES A
TWENTY FIVE BILLION DOLLAR VOTER
APPROVED GENERAL OBLIGATION.
BOND ON THE NEXT AYE STATEWIDE
GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT TO
FINANCE HOMEOWNERSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES AND PROMOTE NEW
HOMEOWNER CONSTRUCTION I'D LIKE
TO START BY ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS TO SPECIFY.
THAT ALONE UNDER THIS BILL COULD
ONLY BE MADE WHEN THE FINAL
SALES PRICE OF THE PROPERTY
DOESN'T EXCEED EITHER THE COUNTY
OR STATE MEDIAN PRICE. WHICHEVER
IS LOWER FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION
WHICH WILL TARGET THIS PROGRAM
TO THE MOST NEEDY CALIFORNIANS.
ARE HOMEOWNERSHIP BENEFITS ARE
INDISPUTABLE AND LEAD TO
MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENTS IN
HEALTH EDUCATION SECURITY- AND
BUT WE KNOW OUR ESCALATING HOME
PRICES SEVERE PRODUCTION
SHORTAGES IN GENERATIONAL
BARRIERS AND INEQUITIES. ARE
SQUEEZING MANY ASPIRING
HOMEOWNERS OUT OF THE MARKET.
RUNNERS OF ALL INCOME LEVELS OF
IT ESPECIALLY THOSE OF LOW AND
MODERATE INCOME. FRANKLY VIEW
HOMEOWNERSHIP IS UNATTAINABLE
AND THAT'S JUST NOT AN
ACCEPTABLE. SOCIOLOGICAL
SITUATION SO I THINK WE HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY TO CREATE MORE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR FIRST TIME AND
OFTEN LEFT BEHIND HOME BUYERS TO
PURCHASE A HOME. THRIVE IN THE
MIDDLE CLASS AND BUILD-
GENERATIONAL WEALTH THROUGH
EQUITY- IT CANNOT BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT ADDRESSING.
OUR HOUSING PRODUCTION AND OF
COURSE THIS BILL WILL HELP FUEL
BOTH PRODUCTION AND THEN ALSO
HELP FOLKS GET INTO THOSE HOMES-
SO WITH THAT I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE
WHEN APPROPRIATE AND HAPPY TO
ACCEPT THE GERMANS. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH- FOR WORKING ON THIS
AS WELL- DO YOU HAVE ANY LEAD
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT I BELIEVE
WE DO YES WE DO GOOD. I'M SURE

THE BILL ALSO MAKE THE DREAM OF
OWNING A HOME MORE ATTAINABLE TO
MORE PEOPLE AT NO COST THE STATE
OTHERWISE BE TRAPPED IN A
VICIOUS CYCLE RENTING FOR THESE
REASONS WE ASK FOR YOUR IPHONE.

WELCOME THANK YOU GOOD MORNING
I'M SURE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE JENNIFER SPOKE ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS RELATED

GOOD MORNING CHAIR MEMBERS RAIN
A WHITE WITH THE CALIFORNIA
HOUSING CONSORTIUM AND
RESPECTFUL. OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED POSITION. ON THE BELL-
FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS THE
FIRST IS THAT. ALL PREVIOUS
HOUSING BONDS HAVE PREVIOUSLY
ADDRESS A VARIETY OF HOUSING
NEEDS IN THIS ONE BIKE SOLELY
BEING FOCUSED ON HOMEOWNERSHIP
AT THE TIME WHEN ALL OF OUR-
AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING
PROGRAM FUNDING IS ABOUT TO DRY
UP WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE.
SORT OF A COMBINATION OF USES
FOR SUCH A LARGE HOUSING BOND.
ADDITIONALLY THE BILL LESSONS
THAT AFFORDABILITY REQUIREMENTS-
AND BROUGHT INTO INCOME
ELIGIBILITY A FAMILY IS SEEKING
SB THIRTY FIVE STREAMLINING AND
OVERWRITES LEVINE WHO'S NEARING.
ORDINANCES WHICH IS ALSO
PROBLEMATIC. AND LASTLY WE ARE
WORRIED THAT THE SKILLED AND
TRAINED WORKFORCE REQUIREMENTS
WOULD LIMIT THE BREATH OF THE
ABILITY OF USING THIS TOOL. SO
LOOK FOR TO CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT WOULD
LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO
THIS BILL. EDITAS WITH THE
COMPANY HOUSING PARTNERSHIP.
SIMILAR COMMENTS AS CALIFORNIA
HOUSING CONSORTIUM. THANK YOU

LINE FIFTY YOUR LINE IS OPEN.
REPORTED ON ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA FACULTY ASSOCIATION
IN SUPPORT THANK YOU THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. THANK YOU MA'AM CHAIR
WE HAVE NOT FOR THE SUPPORTER
OPPOSITION Q. VERY GOOD FOR
BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
FOR COMMENTS I'M GOING TO HAVE A
COMMON. JUST MINUTES. FROM
FORGET. THIS ALL RIGHT SIR IN
THE PAST COUPLE DAYS WE'VE BASED
BASICALLY HAD SIXTY TWO BILLION
DOLLARS WORTH OF BONDS- BROUGHT
TO US. AND THEIR BONDS THAT ARE
WELL INTENTIONED THE MONEY IS
WELL INTENTIONED BECAUSE- IT'S
TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF SOME OF
OUR FOUNDATIONAL ISSUES THAT WE
HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ISSUE I
HAVE IS THAT EVERY TIME WE HAVE
A FOUNDATIONAL ISSUE WE PUT IT
ON TAXPAYERS TO BORROW A BUNCH
OF MONEY. AND THEN WHEN WE HAVE-
LARGE SURPLUSES WE DON'T SPEND
THOSE DOLLARS TO TAKE CARE OF
THE FOUNDATIONAL ISSUES- AND
THAT'S MY CONCERN HERE ALSO IT'S
ALSO INTERESTING TO ME. THAT
EVERY TIME WE ARE TRYING TO
SOLVE A PROBLEM WE HAVE IN A
SEQUEL EXEMPTION. OUT WHAT THAT
TELLS ME IS THAT WE HAVE ISSUES
WITH SEQUEL. AND THAT'S ONE OF
THE PROCESS SEES THAT IS REALLY
CREATING BARRIERS TO BUILDING
HOMES. ALSO WHEN WE INCLUDE
PROVISIONS TO INCREASE THE COSTS
OF BUILDING THE HOMES AND THEN
WE BORROW MONEY. TO COVER THOSE.
WE'RE GOING DOWN A PATH OF
FINANCIAL INSOLVENCY. AND SO I'M
GOING TO BE GOING TO ANOTHER
COMMITTEE RIGHT NOW. TO- AT
PRESENT BILLS ON LIKE FINANCIAL
LITERACY YEAH AND SO YOU CAN
TELL WHERE MY MIND IS THAT- I
THINK THERE IS A WAY FOR US TO
ADDRESS THESE ISSUES WITHOUT
TAKING ON ENORMOUS DEBT IN SIXTY
TWO BILLION DOLLARS IS ENORMOUS-
SO A TOTAL AND I KNOW THIS IS
ONLY THE TWENTY FIVE BILLION
PART OF IT BUT- IF YOU ADAM ALL
TOGETHER IT SIXTY TWO BILLION
DOLLARS. AND COUNTING- THAT IS A
LOT OF DEBT AND- IN CALIFORNIA
ALREADY CARRIES A LOT OF DEBT
SO- I CANNOT SUPPORT OUR BOND
REQUESTS THAT WE GET TO PUT
AMOUNT. WHEN THEY DO GO OUT ONTO
THE BALLOT A LOT OF TIMES THE
BALLOT LANGUAGE IS VERY
MISLEADING TO PEOPLE AND SOME
PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE BOND
PROCESS ITSELF AND THAT THAT'S
DEBT. THAT TAKES AWAY FROM OUR
ABILITY TO PROVIDE OTHER
SERVICES BECAUSE WE'RE PAYING
INTEREST ON THE BOND DEBT. SO
WITH THAT I AM GOING TO EXCUSE
MYSELF SO I CAN GO PRESENT
NEARLY COMMITTEE THANK YOU. VERY
GOOD OTHER COMMENTS. CENTER
BAKER. I JUST WANTED TO ASK
ABOUT- ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT
IT EXCLUDES RENTAL HOUSING JUST
UNDERSTANDING WHY YOU DID THAT.
SO FRANKLY WE HAVE PUT IN A
NUMBER OF POLICIES AND
STRATEGIES OVER THE LAST DECADE
TO INCREASE OUR RENTAL HOUSING
STOCK BUT WE HAVE NOT. IN MY
OPINION. A DIFFERENCE TO FIRST
TIME HOMEBUYERS AND YOU KNOW I'M
CONCERNED THAT OVER TIME. ONLY
FOCUSING ON RENTAL HOUSING IS
GOING TO CREATE A CALIFORNIA
THAT HAS. NO OP WOULD WORK BUT
NO MORE UPWARD MOBILITY AND WHEN
I TALK TO. YOUNG FAMILIES
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIAN LYNN
EMPIRE- FIRST GENERATION
CALIFORNIANS. YOU KNOW THEY
DON'T WANT TO BE LIFETIME
RANCHERS THEY WANT TO HAVE A
PIECE OF THE AMERICAN DREAM AND-
YOU KNOW WEALTHY PEOPLE OF
ASSETS. YOU KNOW HARD WORKING
PEOPLE NEED TO BE ABLE TO BUY A
HOME AND DEVELOP- EQUITY SO I
THINK IT'S THE KEY TO UPWARD
MOBILITY AND I THINK WE'VE DONE.
WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK IN MY
COLLEAGUES YOU KNOW SENATOR
WIENER'S COUNTRYMEN WORK. IN IN
INCREASING HOUSING STOCK ON THE
RENTAL SIDE AND I JUST THINK
THIS IS AN UNDER APPRECIATED
IMPORTANT ASPECT OF A HEALTHY
ECONOMY. CENTER WIENER. SYDNEY I
THANK YOU AND AS I DID AND
HOUSING COMMITTEE L. B- OF THE
SUPPORTING. THIS TODAY I THINK
ALL OF YOU SEE ANY- LARGE BOND
IS GOING TO BE PART OF A BROADER
CONVERSATION HAS WORKERS ON THE
BALLOT. I DO WANT TO. POINT OUT
THAT- THE WORK WE'VE DONE IN
RECENT. YEARS ON HOUSING THE
FUNDING SIDE ALL KNOWLEDGE THAT
IS MORE ON THE RENTAL SIDE
ABSOLUTE BELOW MARKET RATE THERE
THERE IS- IN THE PROTON HAS DONE
SOME WORKING AROUND THOSE AROUND
FUNDING FOR FIRST TIME-
HOMEOWNERS. BUT AS A FUNDING FOR
MORE ON THE- ON THE RENTAL SIDE
IN TERMS OF OUR GENERAL HOUSING
POLICIES IT'S BEEN BOTH BECAUSE-
FOR EXAMPLE TO STREAMLINING WORK
RESUME HAS TO DO WITH ALSO.
CONDOS TOWNHOMES AT CETERA WHICH
IS ALSO IN YOUR BILL- SO I THINK
YOUR BILL- WHATEVER SOME
CONCERNS ABOUT IT- IT IF THIS
FUNDING MAKES IT THROUGH ALL THE
PRIORITIZATION. OF PROCESS- YOU
KNOW IT IT IS A PIECE OF THE OF
THE PUZZLE AND HELPING PEOPLE-
MAKE GOES- MAKE THOSE PURCHASES
SO- I WILL- GO TO MOVE FORWARD
TODAY. VERY GOOD- IF THEY'RE NO
MORE. SAYS SENATOR. YOU TO CAN.
THAT YOU MADAM CHAIR AND I LIKE
TO COMMENT ON ONE OF THE MY OUR
COLLEAGUE IS NOT HERE TO HERE.
BUT I DO THINK IT WAS ACTUALLY
FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE OF A OF US
TO PUT MONEY INTO OUR RAINY DAY
FUND AND- YOU KNOW INCREASE OUR
RESERVES I THINK THAT'S A GOOD
THING TO DO. YOU KNOW WE
SHOULDN'T SPEND EVERY NICKEL
THAT WE HAVE- WHEN WE KNOW
THERE'S GOING TO BE YEARS OR
WE'RE GONNA NEED THOSE RESERVES
TO TIDE US OVER AND SO- LAST
YEAR WE CERTAINLY INVESTED- A
LARGE PERCENTAGE OF OUR SURPLUS.
INTO STRUCTURAL ISSUES BUT WE
DID PUT ASIDE HISTORIC AMOUNTED
TO RESERVES AND I THINK THAT WAS
A PRUDENT THING TO DO AND- USING
BOND FINANCING- THAT'S WITHIN
OUR MEANS TO COVER THE DEBT
SERVICE AGAIN I THINK IT'S A
RESPONSIBLE THING TO DO WITH
THAT. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE. I AGREE WITH YOU AND-
WILL TAKE THE ROLE- YEAH WE DO
NEED A MOTION I'VE S. SENATOR
WIENER DID YOU MAKE THE MOTION
REMOVAL YEAH. HAVE A MOTION BY
SENATOR WIENER TO PASS AS
AMENDED TO APPROPRIATIONS. THAT
AMORPHOUS COMMITTEE. SEE HOW IT
DOES THERE. CENTERS CABALLERO HI

AYE THREE ZERO. WE'LL PUT THAT
ON CALL FOR THE ABSENT MEMBERS
THANK YOU CENTER. MADAM PRO TEM
WELCOME. MADAM CHAIR THANK YOU
AND LET ME THANK YOU FOR
PRESENTING AS BEFORE FIFTY
EARLIER I THINK YOU APPRECIATE
THAT- I AM HERE. MADAM CHAIR
COLLEAGUES. TO PRESENT SB FIVE
ONE NINE IT'S A BILL THAT WILL
BRING ADDITIONAL TRANSPARENCY
AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO OUR COUNTY
JAILS. SPECIFICALLY AROUND IN
CUSTODY DEATHS. IN TWENTY TWENTY
THERE WERE OVER A HUNDRED FIFTY
IN CUSTODY DEATHS STATEWIDE. AND
WHILE SB FIVE ONE NINE IS
INTENDED TO PROVIDE OVERSIGHT
FOR THE WHOLE STATE I COME TO
THIS ISSUE FROM A LOCAL
PERSPECTIVE. OVER A FIFTEEN YEAR
SPAN A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FIVE
PEOPLE DIED IN THE SAN DIEGO
JAILS THE HIGHEST RATE OF IN
CUSTODY DEATHS IN THE STATE. IN
TWENTY TWENTY ONE ALONE THERE
WERE EIGHTEEN DEATHS IN SAN
DIEGO JAILS IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE
MEMBERS OF THE SAN DIEGO
LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION CALLED ON
THE STATE AUDITOR TO REVIEW THE
ALARMING. AND TROUBLING DEATHS
OCCURRING IN CUSTODY IN SAN
DIEGO. LAST YEAR THE STATE
AUDITOR RELEASED ITS REPORT
PROVIDING A SERIES OF
RECOMMENDATIONS PRIMARILY AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL TO PREVENT FUTURE
DEATHS. THE STATE AUDITOR ALSO
ISSUED SEVERAL STATE
RECOMMENDATIONS ONE OF WHICH I
ALONG WITH OTHER SAN DIEGO
DELEGATION MEMBERS CO AUTHORED
LAST YEAR WITH ASSEMBLY MEMBER A
KILO WEBER. TO BRING HEALTH AND
MENTAL HEALTH EXPERTISE TO THE
BOARD OF STATE AND COMMUNITY
CORRECTIONS WHILE MANY
RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE BEEN
IMPLEMENTED AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
THERE ARE STILL LINGERING
QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW WE CAN BRING
MORE TRANSPARENCY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY TO PREVENT ANY
FURTHER DEATHS. AND MANY LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS ACROSS THE STATE
ARE ACTUALLY GRAPPLING WITH
SIMILAR PROBLEMS. IN TWENTY
TWENTY TO EIGHTEEN PEOPLE DIED
IN CUSTODY IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY
JAIL. IN TWENTY TWENTY THREE
SEVEN PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN LOS
ANGELES COUNTY JAIL SO FAR. AND
IT'S ONLY APRIL SACRAMENTO
SAMPOERNA DINO SANTA CLARA
COUNTIES ARE UNDER CONSIDER
GREASE IN FACT THERE ARE TEN
COUNTIES CURRENTLY STILL UNDER
CONSENT DECREES. BUT LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS HAVE LIMITED CONTROL
OVER THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
ADOPTED BY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
EVEN THOUGH A COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS. IS REQUIRED TO
APPROVE A SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT'S
BUDGET. INTERESTINGLY COUNTY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS BEAR THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF SETTLING
LAWSUITS INVOLVING IN CUSTODY
JAIL DEATHS. AND HAVE LIMITED
AUTHORITY IN REQUIRING THE
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO ENACT
POLICIES TO REDUCE IN CUSTODY
DEATHS. FOR EXAMPLE SAN DIEGO
COUNTY JAIL DEATHS AND INJURIES
HAVE COST SAN DIEGO TAXPAYERS
MORE THAN FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS
IN LEGAL SETTLEMENTS AND JURY
AWARDS IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS.
SB FIVE ONE NINE IS INTENDED TO
PROVIDE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND
THE PUBLIC IMPORTANT INFORMATION
IN ORDER TO HELP ADDRESS THESE
ISSUES AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
SPECIFICALLY WE DO THREE THINGS
IN YOUR ANALYSIS- AND STAFF DID
A GREAT JOB OF POINTING OUT THE
HISTORY AS WELL AS- WHAT THIS
BILL DOES. BUT SPECIFICALLY OF
FIVE NINETEEN WE DO THREE THINGS
. IT WILL ENSURE THAT FULL
REPORTS OF INVESTIGATIONS
RELATING TO IN CUSTODY DEATHS
ARE PUBLICLY ASSESSABLE THIS IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE STATE
AUDITOR'S REPORT. IT WOULD
RESTORE A COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS DISCRETION TO
ESTABLISH A LOCAL DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION
HEADED BY AN EXECUTIVE OFFICER.
IF THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IS
UNRESPONSIVE IN ADDRESSING
PROBLEMS WITH ITS COUNTY
DETENTION FACILITIES THE BILL
SPELLS OUT WHAT THAT WOULD BE.
IT WOULD EXPAND THE MISSION OF
THE BSE C. TO PROMOTE THE LEGAL
AND SAFE CONDITIONS FOR YOUTH
INMATES AND STAFF IN LOCAL
DETENTION FACILITIES. SO WITH ME
TODAY- WITH YOUR PERMISSION TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL.
IS PAUL PARKER WHO IS THE
EXECUTIVE OFFICER AT THE SAN
DIEGO COUNTY CITIZENS LAW
ENFORCEMENT REVIEW BOARD WE CALL
THEM CLERK. AND JULIA YOU AN
ATTORNEY WHO'S REPRESENTED
FAMILIES WHO'VE DIED IN CUSTODY.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. I'D LIKE TO WELCOME
YOU TO THE TO THE MIKE. THANK
YOU FOR BEING HERE. GOOD MORNING
EVERYONE MY NAME IS PAUL PARKER
AND I'M THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER
WITH THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY
CITIZENS LONG BEFORE SUMMER
REVIEW BOARD CLERK. WE PROVIDE
CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT SERVICES TO
THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT. WE CONDUCT
INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS INTO
ALL IN CUSTODY DEATHS. IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE THERE EIGHTEEN.
TWENTY TWENTY TWO THERE WERE
NINETEEN OR TWENTY DEPENDING ON
WHOSE STATISTICS YOU SITE AND SO
FAR THIS YEAR UNFORTUNATELY
THERE HAVE BEEN THREE. ALSO
UNFORTUNATELY CLLR FAMILY
MEMBERS COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND
MEDIA REPRESENTATIVES ARE NOT
PRIVY TO INTERNAL AFFAIRS FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE INVESTIGATION
REPORTS CONDUCTED BY THE
DEPARTMENT. THIS LACK OF
TRANSPARENCY COMBINED WITH
STATUTORY CASE LAW LIMITATIONS
PLACED UPON CALIFORNIA'S
CIVILIAN OVERSIGHT ENTITIES
PROHIBIT THE PUBLIC DISCLOSURE
OR DISCUSSION OF THESE
INVESTIGATIONS. AND WE FAMILY
MEMBERS IN THE COMMUNITY.
WITHOUT ANSWERS TO THE BASIC
MOST BASIC QUESTIONS FOR EXAMPLE
WHAT PREVENTIVE. COULD HAVE DONE
BETTER. MOST IMPORTANTLY WAS THE
DEATH PREVENTABLE. WAS ANYONE
RESPONSIBLE FOR. IF SO WHERE
THEY HELD RESPONSIBLE AND HOW.
THE POLICY CHANGES IMPLEMENTED
RATHER ACTIONS TAKEN TO PREVENT
FUTURE DEATHS. WHILE THIS BILL
ADDRESSES ISSUES IN SAN DIEGO S.
SENATE RECKONS A SAID IT'S ALSO
IMPORTANT STATEWIDE. I HAVE OVER
TWENTY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN
THE MEDICAL EXAMINER CORONER.
FIELD BOTH AS AN INVESTIGATOR AN
EXECUTIVE IN CALIFORNIA AND THE
SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES. AN
INTERACTIVE THOUSANDS OF
GRIEVING FAMILY MEMBERS DURING
THE PAST FEW DECADES AND I KNOW
THAT THEIR PROVIDED MINIMAL IF
ANY INFORMATION DURING AND AFTER
THE INVESTIGATION INTO LAW
ENFORCEMENT RELATED DEATHS.
THESE INVESTIGATION CAN LAST
SEVERAL MONTHS TO SEVERAL YEARS
. MANY TIMES LOCATIONS THE ONLY
OPTION FOR THESE FAMILIES TO GET
ANY ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS.
FROM MY MEDICAL EXAMINER
EXPERIENCE I KNOW ALL TOO WELL
THAT WHEN A FAMILY MEMBER IS NOT
TOLD DETAILS ABOUT THAT. THE
PHONE THE BLANKS THEMSELVES
OFTENTIMES CONJECTURE
SPECULATION AND MANY TIMES
COMING TO INCLUDE INCORRECT
CONCLUSIONS. FINALLY SURE OF
CANDIDATES CURRENTLY MEET
CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS BUT NONE OF
THEM INCLUDE PENSIONS SO THE
MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE. PERSONS IN
COUNTY CUSTODY OR CERTAINLY
VULNERABLE- RELYING UPON COUNTY
FOR THEIR CARE AND THE WELL
BEING. ALLOWING BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS TO CREATE APARTMENTS
OF CORRECTION AND APPOINT
EXECUTIVE OFFICERS WITH
APPLICABLE TO TOUCH FACILITY
MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE WE RESERVE
WILL RESULT IN MORE CONTROL AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL. THE QUICK
RESPONSE OF DETACHMENT SO THE
ISSUES OR CONCERNS. AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY. THE POTENTIAL
SAVING OF LIVES. WAITING YEARS
FOR THE NEXT YEAR IF ELECTION
YOUR RESPECTIVE JURISDICTION TO
ADDRESS IMMEDIATE CONCERNS. IT'S
SIMPLY NOT A VIABLE OPTION FOR
FOLKS IN CUSTODY AND THEIR
FAMILIES CLICK SUPPORT SENATOR
RECKONS HIS EFFORTS TO INCREASE
AND IMPROVE TRANSPARENCY. AROUND
ATTENTION IS SOLELY RELATED
DEATHS. AND BETTER MANAGEMENT OF
THOSE FACILITIES. SB FIVE
NINETEEN MAY NOT PREVENT ALL
DOUBTS OR RELIEVE THE PAIN THE
FAMILIES EXPERIENCE IN THE EVENT
OF A DEATH. WILL CERTAINLY HELP
TO SOLVE THE MYSTERIES
UNANSWERED THE STORIES LEFT
UNTOLD BY THE STATUS QUO. I
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT PLEASE. GOOD MORNING MY
NAME IS JULIE YEAH YOU I'M THE
PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL POLICE
ACCOUNTABILITY PROJECT. WHICH IS
THE LARGEST CIVIL RIGHTS
ATTORNEY ORGANIZATION IN THE
COUNTRY. I ALSO SERVE ON THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CA- SEE
THE CONSUMER ATTORNEYS OF
CALIFORNIA. AND ALSO PARTNER AND
I ARE TELLING YOU IT'S A CIVIL
RIGHTS LAW FIRM BASED OUT OF SAN
DIEGO. AND FOR THE LAST TWO
DECADES I HAVE REPRESENTED
VICTIMS AND IMPACTED FAMILIES OF
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN KILLED OR
CATASTROPHICALLY INJURED IN A
COUNTY JAILS. AND WHILE SAN
DIEGO MAY BE THE WORST IT IS NOT
ALONE. WE HAVE A STATEWIDE
PROBLEM REQUIRING A STATEWIDE
SOLUTION. THIS IS WHY SB FIVE
NINETEEN HAS THE BROAD SUPPORT
OF CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS
COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS. AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY BE IMPACTED FAMILIES
AND VICTIMS THEMSELVES. AS
EVIDENCED BY THE AUDITOR'S
REPORT WE ARE EXPERIENCING A
CRISIS. AND TIME HAS COME FOR A
MEANINGFUL REFORM. THE CULTURE
OF INACTION IN THESE JAILS IS
PERVASIVE. ALSO PERVASIVE IS THE
BREAKDOWN OF TRUST BETWEEN OUR
COMMUNITIES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.
AND THAT IS BECAUSE THE
INFORMATION SURROUNDING THE
DEATH AND THE SUBSEQUENT
INVESTIGATIONS ARE SHROUDED IN
NEEDLESS SECRECY. GRIEVING
PARENTS SHOULD NEVER BE FORCED
TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN FEDERAL
COURT JUST TO FIND OUT HOW THEIR
CHILDREN DIED THIS IS TORTURE
FOR THEM. THERE IS PERVASIVE
FRUSTRATION THAT NO ONE IN THE
COUNTY IS TAKING ANY ACTION ANY
PERCEPTION THAT OUR ELECTED
LEADERS HAVE TURNED A BLIND EYE.
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS NEED TO
ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY AND BE
RESPONSIVE TO THE PUBLIC IN THE
NEED TO BE GIVEN THOUGH TO. DO
SO. WE NEED LEADERSHIP AND WE
DESERVE ANSWERS AND PROACTIVE
CHANGES SB FIVE NINETEEN WILL
PROVIDE CRITICAL STEPS IN
ADDRESSING THE STATEWIDE CRISIS

CENTER WIENER. I THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR AND I WANT TO THANK TO
RING THIS BILL I DO HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY IN PUBLIC SAFETY TO
MAKE REMARKS ON IT ALTHOUGH I
DID VOTE FOR IT THERE THIS ISN'T
ACTUALLY AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
BUILT AND- ADDRESSES A VERY REAL
ISSUE THAT WE'RE- IN IN IN
CALIFORNIA. SHERIFF'S RUN THESE
HUGE. SYSTEMS AN ARC ON AND
BECAUSE OF OUR VALUES AROUND
MENTAL HEALTH THE COUNTY JAILS
ARE OFTEN THE LARGEST MENTAL
HEALTH PROVIDERS YOU KNOW THE L.
A. R. COUNTY JAIL WHICH UNTIL
RECENTLY- INTO THE VOTERS ACTED
HAD A DISASTER. OF A OF A SHARE
OF THE VOTERS CAUGHT. MATED GOOD
. THAT'S THE LAW PUBLIC ART
MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER ENTIRE.
AND DIED ARE ALSO BUT IT'S A
REALITY WE FACE. AND YET IN
CALIFORNIA I'M THE ONLY PEOPLE
WHO ARE ELIGIBLE TO RUN FOR
SHERIFF. TO RUN THE HUGE HEALTH
SYSTEMS- ARE PEOPLE WITH POST
CERTIFICATES YOU HAVE TO BE A
POLICE OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS TO EVEN BE ELIGIBLE. TO
RUN FOR SURE IT WASN'T THAT WAY
UNTIL THE LATE EIGHTIES- THE-
THE SHERIFF'S GOT MAD THAT- SAN
FRANCISCO ELECTED A NON LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS SHERIFF'S
GOING UP SERVING FOR THIRTY
YEARS. AND THEY CHANGE THE LAW
TO BOX EVERYONE ELSE OUT AND
THAT MEANS. IT'S A VERY LIMITED
POOL OF PEOPLE YOU CAN'T YOU
CAN'T COLLECT. HELLO
PROFESSIONAL TO RUN- YOUR COUNTY
JAILS YOU CAN- ELECT SOMEONE
WITH A STRONG- ADMINISTRATIVE
BACKGROUNDS AND MOST. A LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER HAPPENS TO
HAVE THAT SO IT'S A BAD
SITUATION I WE TRIED TO CHANGE
JUST A FEW YEARS AGO THE BILL
GOT STUCK IN THIS COMMITTEE-
NOT- AT PRE PREVIOUS. ITERATION
OF THIS COMMITTEE- AND- AND I'M
REALLY GLAD THIS IS APPROACHING
IT FROM A DIFFERENT- APPROACH
TO- JUST ALLOW THE COUNTIES TO
ACT IN THE SEPARATED OUT AND SO
THIS IS REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT
AND I WOULD LOVE TO BE OUT ITS
CO AUTHOR. MEDICAMENTS IF NOT
I'LL ENTERTAIN I AM. FOR WITH
HAVE A MOTION- MEMBER TAMMY MAKE
INCLUDE. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
THANK YOU COLLEAGUES- I WANT TO
THANK ALL THE SPEAKERS TODAY
THAT WERE HERE MY- KEY SPEAKERS
AND- THOSE THAT CAME ON BOARD AS
ME TO USE. THAT IN MANY
COMMUNITY MEMBERS REPRESENTING
THE COMMUNITY BUT I ALSO WANT TO
SHARE WITH THE THIS COMMITTEE I
THINK WE HAVE RESPONSIBILITY IN
THIS ARENA. THAT TEN COUNTIES
HAVE CONSENT DECREES IS NOT JUST
ON THE SHERIFF'S IT IS REALLY ON
THE COUNTIES AND IT IS ON US IN
TERMS OF THE RESOURCES WE
PROVIDE FOR THOSE CRITICAL
ISSUES MENTIONED BY MY
COLLEAGUE. FROM SAN FRANCISCO
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES EXCEPT
TRUCK. SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT YOU KNOW IN THIS COMMITTEE
KNOWS I AM WORKING WITH LAW
ENFORCEMENT. ARE PROBABLY THE
REASON YOU DON'T SEE- THE
SHERIFF'S AND SOME HERE SPEAKING
TODAY IS BECAUSE WE ARE KEEPING
AN OPEN DIALOGUE BECAUSE THIS IS
A PROBLEM WE ALL NEED TO SOLVE.
THIS IS A THIS IS NOT A POINTING
FINGERS AT ANYBODY WE HAVE A
PROBLEM. AND IT IS ARE
COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE STARTED TO
TELL US THESE ARE THESE ARE
REGULAR EVERYDAY PEOPLE UP AND
DOWN CALIFORNIA ST WE ARE NOT
DOING A GOOD ENOUGH JOB. SO I
THINK THIS HELPS OF FOR
INFORMATION THE COUNTY OF NAPA
ACTUALLY HAS- THE COUNTY. HAS
THEIR OWN DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS SO THERE IS AN
EXAMPLE OF THAT- BUT AGAIN I
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME I THANK
YOU FOR THE THOUGHTFUL
DISCUSSION I THINK ALL THE
PEOPLE ENGAGED IN THIS
DISCUSSION. WE CAN DO BETTER AND
I HOPE THIS LEGISLATION PUTS US
IN THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE
DOING A BETTER JOB OF THE PUBLIC

WELCOME. I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN A
LONG TIME ACTUALLY THE LAST TIME
I SAW IT WAS IN THIS ROOM
ELEVEN. TWO LITTLE DETAIL. YEAH
SO- THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND I
WAS GONNA SAY AND MEMBER AND I'M
NOT SURE HOW LONG THAT'S GONNA
LAST. MMHM- THIS BILL. WILL
BOOST OUR STATE'S COASTAL
RESILIENCY BY ENSURING
CALIFORNIA'S COASTAL COMMUNITIES
ARE PLANNING AND PREPARED FOR
SEA LEVEL RISE. I KNOW SENATOR
CAFIERO KNOWS IT VERY WELL BUT
IN MY DISTRICT ALONE IN THE
ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS- I SEE WALL
WAS WIPED OUT FOR THE SIXTH TIME
TO PEERS WENT DOWN. THE ICONIC
WEST CLIFF DRIVE IN SANTA CRUZ A
LOT OF IT FELL INTO THE OCEAN
THE BIG SIR HIGHWAYS ARE STILL
CLOSE TO CARMEL HAD SEWER PIPE
SHOOTING OUT THE AIR IN A
NEIGHBORHOOD. OUT OF A SEWER
SYSTEM FOR A VERY LONG TIME
PISMO BEACH HAD THINGS FALLEN IF
THE RIVER WATER RECYCLING PLANT
THAT BEEN WORKING ON SO LONG HAD
OPENED IN MORAL BAY. IT WAS JUST
THREE WEEKS IN WHEN THE OCEAN
OVERTOOK THE OLD SEWAGE
TREATMENT PLANT AND WE WOULD
HAVE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IF
THAT'S WHICH- HADN'T HAPPENED.
AND THAT'S EVEN NOT TAKING INTO
ACCOUNT THE SANTA CRUZ WHARF
WHICH IS ABOUT TWENTY FEET ABOVE
SEA LEVEL AND AS THE WAVES WERE
BREAKING OVER THE END OF THE WAR
FORTUNES ALMOST A MILE LONG THEY
FRANTICALLY GOT HUNDREDS OF
PEOPLE OFF THE WAR. FOR TO MAKE
SURE. THAT THEY WERE SAFE. THIS
IS NOW THIS IS BEFORE. ARE SOME
OF THE SEA LEVEL RISE THAT WERE
READING ABOUT DUE TO THE FACT
THAT. THE ARCTIC IS AND
GREENLAND IN OTHER PLACES ARE
MELTING FASTER WERE LAND BASED
ICE IS GOING INTO THE OCEAN. AND
SO IT'S UP TO US TO PLAN SENATOR
ATKINS DID A BILL. THAT REALLY
DEALS WITH STATE AGENCIES WHAT
THIS BILL DOES IS DEAL WITH
COASTAL PLANTS AND BAY AREA
PLANS WITH THE COASTAL
COMMISSION. AND WITH- DUBBED.
THE CDC THAT REALLY GOVERNS THE
BAY AREA. AND RIGHT NOW LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS DO PLANS BUT THEY'RE
NOT REQUIRED TO UPDATE THEM
THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED NECESSARILY
TO INCLUDE CERTAIN THINGS IN
THEM AND WHEN I WAS RESOURCES
SECRETARY. OF THE ADMINISTRATION
WORKED HARD TO UPDATE THE LOCAL
COASTAL PLANTS FOR THIS. BUT
THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT TO
UPDATE THEM- AS NEW SCIENCE
BECOMES AVAILABLE FACTS BECOME
AVAILABLE WE SEE WHAT'S ACTUALLY
HAPPENING ON THE OCEAN. SO THIS
BILL REQUIRES A LOCAL GOVERNMENT
WITHIN THE COASTAL ZONE. WHERE
THE JURISDICTION OF THE BC DC.
TO ADDRESS LEVEL RISE PLANNING.
OR IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY
SHORELINE COASTAL RESILIENCY BY
JANUARY TWENTY THIRTY FOUR WITH
A GOAL OF COMPLETING PLANTS BY
JANUARY TWENTY TWENTY NINE AND A
PLAN WOULD HAVE TO INCLUDE THE
USE THE USE OF BEST AVAILABLE
SCIENCE. OF VULNERABILITY
ASSESSMENTS SEALEVEL RISE
ADAPTATION PLAN A TIMELINE FOR
UPDATES BASED ON CONDITIONS.
AND- THE AB PROJECTIONS AND THIS
BILL ALSO INCENTIVIZES LOCAL
PLANNING MAKING LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ELIGIBLE. FOR
PRIORITIZE SEA LEVEL RISE
PROJECT FUNDING OF THIS BILL
MIGHT LOOK FAMILIAR TO YOU. AS I
INTRODUCED AT THIS YEAR IT
LANDED ON THE GOVERNOR'S DESK
AND IT IS STILL A BONE OF
CONTENTION WITH ME AS AT THE
LAST MINUTE WE ADDED MONEY FOR
SEA LEVEL RISE PLANNING. BUT THE
GOVERNOR SAID THERE WAS NO MONEY
IN THE BUDGET TO FUND THIS BILL-
LET'S JUST SAY EXASPERATION
WITHOUT GOING INTO FURTHER
DETAIL. END AND AS AN ASIDE THIS
YEAR THE GOVERNOR CUT TO COASTAL
RESILIENCY MONEY IN HIS PROPOSED
BUDGET BY 43% IN HIS DEFENSE HE
DID THAT BEFORE THE FIRST
ATMOSPHERIC RIVER HIT ON THE
COAST. AND SO THERE IS MONEY
THERE FOR LOCAL COASTAL PLANNING
BEFORE RESTORING THE CAUGHT BUT
I THINK WE'RE REALLY LOOKING. UP
IN THE BUDGET AS A COMPANION
ITEM TO HAVE WHATEVER CUT IS
THAT MATCH THE CUT TO ALL OTHER
PROGRAMS NOT TO DISPROPORTIONATE
CUTS THAT HAS BEEN APPLIED. TO
LOCAL COASTAL RESILIENCY. AND
BOOK OUR AND WE HAVE FORMED AND
THE SENATORS A MEMBER. OF A
CENTRAL COAST CAUCUS OF TEN
LEGISLATORS THAT REPRESENT THE
FIVE COUNTIES ALONG THE CENTRAL
COAST THIS IS A PRIORITY THIS IS
BEEN OUTLINED BECAUSE IT REALLY
AFFECTS. EVERY DISTRICT. I
WORKED HARD LAST YEAR TO ADDRESS
CONCERNS OF THE LEAGUE OF CITIES
AND THE STATE ASSOCIATION OF
COUNTIES AND AFTER THOSE
NEGOTIATIONS THEY WENT NEUTRAL.
OR WERE IN CONVERSATIONS WITH A
COALITION. OF OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED. AND WHAT WE ARE WORKING
AND WILL TAKE OR ARE TAKING
AMENDMENTS THAT ADDRESSED MOST
OF THEIR ISSUES BUT LET ME CALL
OUT THE ONE. THAT THEY'RE STILL
UNHAPPY ABOUT BOB THEY WANT
THERE TO BE AN EXPLICIT
STATEMENT THAT THERE'S NOT A
PENALTY IN. THIS BILL WELL THERE
HAPPENS TO BE HE NOT A PENALTY
IN THE BILL BUT I THINK THE
MAKING THE- STATE. WEAKENS AND
MIGHT EVEN. ON THE REGULATORY
AGENCIES DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT
TO APPROVE THE PLANTS WITH
STRONG STRONG. A STATEMENT SO I
HAVE NOT. I HAVE NOT TAKEN A
THAT AMENDMENT EVEN THOUGH I'VE
BEEN FLEXIBLE ON THE REST. ARE I
HAVE A PRIMARY WITNESS TODAY
ARMY HOLY CARE THE SURFRIDER
FOUNDATION. AND WE HAVE BROAD
SUPPORT OF THE BILL WHICH IS
INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKET I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN ART
FORM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH-
MISTER LATER IF YOU'D LIKE TO
COME FORWARD. ADAM THE YEAR.

PLAN FOR SEA LEVEL RISE.
SEALEVEL RISE ARE RISING AND
RATES WITH WILL ACCELERATE
DRAMATICALLY IN THE NEXT TEN TO
TWENTY YEARS AS DEMONSTRATED BY
THIS YEAR'S ROUND OF ATMOSPHERIC
RIVERS. ELEVATED SEAS AND STORM
SURGES HAVE HAD DRAMATIC IMPACTS
ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE. HABITAT
INFRASTRUCTURE AND WELL BEING A
LONGER COAST. THE BILL MANDATES
LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM UPDATES BY
TWENTY THIRTY FOUR. THIS
TIMELINE MAKES THE CRITICAL TASK
OF PLANNING FOR SYMBOL OF OUR
RIGHTS MORE THAN MANAGEABLE FOR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WE KNOW THAT
PLANNING FOR SEA LEVEL RISE MUST
HAPPEN LOCALLY. DUE TO THE NEED
TO COMPREHENSIVELY THINK ABOUT
PUBLIC RESOURCES INFRASTRUCTURE
PROPERTY AND THE LOCAL
ENVIRONMENT. THE BILL DOES NOT
COME WITH A PRICE TAG OF FUNDING
WILL GET ALLOCATED TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ARE OCEAN PROTECTION
COUNCIL. SEALEVEL RISE GRANTS IN
THE FUTURE. AND THIS IS
COMPLEMENTARY TO SENATE BILL ONE
WHICH THE LEGISLATOR PASSED IN
RECOGNIZING THE NEED TO PLAN FOR
SEA LEVEL RISE IN CALIFORNIA.

QUALITY OF LIFE RESOURCES AND
INFRASTRUCTURE. CALIFORNIANS

PRESERVE OUR COASTLINE. IF WE DO

FOUR. WELCOME TO COMMITTEE.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. EVERY DAY
- IN SACRAMENTO EVERY DAY
INCLUDING THIS MORNING I WALKED
BY. UNSHELTERED AND HOUSED-
PEOPLE. LIVING IN DOORWAYS. MERE
STEPS FROM OUR STATE CAPITOL. IN
IT'S JUST HEARTBREAKING THAT
CALIFORNIA HAS THE HIGHEST RATES
OF BOTH HOMELESSNESS. AND
UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS. IN THE
COUNTRY AND BLUES AND COVER US
TO DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN. TO
BRING PEOPLE INDOORS. I DON'T
NEED TELL ALL OF YOU THAT YOU
PEOPLE ARE LITERALLY DYING ON
OUR STREETS NOW EVERY DAY. I'M
AT THE SAME TIME I THINK WE'VE A
MODEL HERE THAT'S THAT'S WORKING
AND SHOWS GREAT PROMISE AND
WE'RE REALLY THAT'S WERE HERE
TODAY TO TALK ABOUT EXPANDING.
OF THAT MODEL I FIRST LIKE TO
START BY EXPECTING ALL THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS OUTLINED IN
THE NOW SYSTEM I THINK YOU'RE
COMMITTEE STOCKED WITH WORKING.
WORKING WITH MINE ON THE BILL.
THAT WE WILL THIS BILL WILL TO
FIND OPPORTUNITY HOUSING IN
STATUTE AND HELP THE STATE
EXPEDITIOUSLY ADDRESS OUR
HOMELESSNESS CRISIS WHILE WE
WAIT FOR PERMANENT HOUSING TO BE
BUILT. IT'LL BE VERY CLEAR THEM
FOR VERY SUPPORT OF EVERY EFFORT
TO BUILD BERMAN HOUSING I THINK
WE SHOULD BE PUTTING MORE MONEY
FRANKLY FROM OUR STATE
GOVERNMENT TO BUILD PERMANENT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT'S TRULY.
AFFORDABLE FOR LACK OF ADEQUATE
SHELTER CONTRIBUTE SAYS- ARE THE
HIGHEST NATION SHELTERING SIXTY
SEVEN PERCENT. OF CALIFORNIANS
THEIR HOMELESSNESS EXPERIENCING
UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS. AT THE
SAME TIME STATE LOCAL AGENCIES
SIT ON VAST QUANTITIES OF. LAND
THAT IS VACANT ME THAT'S NOT
CURRENTLY BEING DEVELOPED. AND
IT COULD BE UTILIZED TO HELP OUR
HOMELESS POPULATION. THIS BILL
DOES THE FOLLOWING NUMBER ONE
DEFINES ARE PURELY HOUSING
STATUTE AS LOW BARRIER
NAVIGATION CENTER. THAT IS NON
CONGREGANT RELOCATABLE. RESERVE
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS OR
AT RISK OF EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS. IS ON LAND WITH NO
DEMONSTRABLE USE FOR THE NEXT
FIVE YEARS. SECOND REQUIRES
LOCAL AGENCIES RESPOND TO
REQUESTS DEVELOP THAT LAND. FOR
OPPORTUNITY HOUSING. THIRD
CREATES A STREAMLINED APPROVAL
PROCESS TO DROP THESE UNITS
QUICKLY. AND FINALLY TASK H. C.
D. WITH REVIEWING BILLING COAST
EXPEDITE REDUCE CONSTRUCTION
COSTS OF OPERATING HOUSING.
WHILE MAINTAINING HEALTH AND
SAFETY STANDARDS. BY DOING SO.
WE HOPE WE CAN RAPIDLY SCALE- A
OPTIMISTIC HOPEFUL. ON
INEXPENSIVE- SOLUTION. TO GET
PEOPLE INDOORS AS FAST AS
POSSIBLE. AND WITH THAT I HAVE
TO WITNESSES ELIZABETH FONG FROM
DIGNITY MOVES AND ALEX TORRES
FROM DAIRY COUNCIL. GOOD MORNING
AND THE FOUNDER AND CEO OF
DIGNITY MOVES AND WE'VE BEEN
BUILDING HOUSING SUCH AS THIS
THAT WE'RE CALLING OPPORTUNITY
HOUSING TODAY. IN ONE OF THE
RICHEST AND MOST INNOVATIVE
PLACES IN THE WORLD. WE CAN'T
FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET ROOF OVER
PEOPLE'S HEADS SURELY WE'RE
STANDING IN OUR OWN WAY WE NEED
TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND THINK
MORE INNOVATIVELY. WE ALSO NEED
A DOSE OF OPTIMISM THIS CAN BE
DONE I FEEL LIKE THAT'S BEEN
LEFT BEHIND. IN ADDITION IT'S
GOING TO GIVE US THAT OPTIMISM
IS CALIFORNIANS WE KNOW THAT WE
DESPERATELY NEED MORE PERMANENT
HOUSING. THE COST TO BUILD THAT
IS SO ASTRONOMICAL THAT TAKES SO
LONG IT'S JUST NOT REALISTIC TO
EXPECT TO BE ABLE TO GET
EVERYONE INDOORS IMMEDIATELY.
EVEN IF WE HAD UNLIMITED
RESOURCES THE CRISIS IS NOW IN
ITS EXACERBATED EVERY DAY THE
PEOPLE LANGUISH ON THE STREETS.
CITIES ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO
BUILD THAT HOUSING. BUT WE NEED
TO EMPOWER THEM WITH A BROADER
SET OF TOOLS. BY HOLDING UP THE
PERMANENT HOUSING IS THE ONLY
VIABLE SOLUTION WE'RE LETTING
THE PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF THE
GOOD. IN THE MEANTIME ALL THAT
PER HOUSING IS COMING ONLINE WE
NEED SOLUTIONS THAT ARE FAST.
EFFECTIVE SCALABLE COST
EFFECTIVE AND SCALABLE. IN SAN
FRANCISCO ARE PROJECTS THAT
THIRTY THREE GOLF ST WAS
PERMITTED IN LESS THAN THREE
WEEKS SURELY THAT'S A HISTORIC
FIRST. WITH HEADS IN BEDS FROM
THE START OF CONSTRUCTION IN
LESS THAN TWO MONTHS. THAT'S THE
KIND OF FAST SOLUTION THAT WE
NEED. AT FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
PER ROOM OR UNDER A HUNDRED
THOUSAND FOR STUDIO WITH
BATHROOMS. THESE ARE WITHIN THE
RANGE OF PRIVATE MONEY
PHILANTHROPY CAN CONTRIBUTE TO
IT THAT'S THE KIND OF COST
EFFECTIVE THAT WE NEED. AND THE
SANTA BARBARA COUNTY WE ARE
LITERALLY BUILDING ENOUGH INTRO
HOUSING FOR EVERYONE IS
UNSHELTERED ACROSS THE ENTIRE
COUNTY IN ONE INITIATIVE.
PRIMARILY FUNDED BY PHILANTHROPY
ON. COUNTY OWNED LAND THAT'S THE
KIND OF SCALE OF THIS PROBLEM
NEEDS. AND THEIR DOZENS OF
MANUFACTURERS JUST IN OUR STATE
ALONE. TOGETHER THIS INDUSTRY IS
BLOOMING THERE'S ALMOST INFINITE
SUPPLY OF THESE MODULAR UNITS.
THIS MODEL FAKE IT LAND
RELOCATABLE HOUSING IS ALREADY
BEEN PROVEN IN PLACES LIKE SAN
JOSE WHICH HAS BEEN A LEADER IN
THIS MODEL. SAN FRANCISCO AND
SANTA BARBARA AND WE'RE SEEING A
SURGE OF INTEREST FROM CITIES
ACROSS THE STATE. THIS BILL IS
NEEDED. LET ME GIVE YOU A FEW
EXAMPLES MATT MAY HAVE THE MAYOR
OF SAN JOSE SAYS HE'S BEEN
TRYING TO GET THE VALLEY TRANSIT
AUTHORITY TO LET HIM USE VACANT
LAND AND THEY'RE DRAGGING THEIR
FEET. SUPERVISOR MANAGER KOTAK
FROM SANTA CRUZ COUNTY RAN ON.
THE PROPOSITION OF BUILDING IN
FROM HOUSING. AND HE'S TRACKING
ITS OWN ORDINANCE TO ALLOW TINY
HOMES TO BE BUILT IN MORE ZONES
PARTICULARLY FOR INSTANCE
COMMERCIAL. THE LOCAL
MUNICIPALITIES ARE ASKING FOR
THIS. I THINK WE NEED TO PROVIDE
THAT PAVE THE WAY FOR THEM AT
THE STATE LEVEL I DO BELIEVE
SOME LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES MAY
TAKE IT EVEN FURTHER. IT IN
ADDITIONAL ORDINANCES. BUT WE
CAN PROVIDE THE GUARD RAILS AND
PAVE THE PATH TO GUIDE THEM. WE
ARE ALL ABOUT. YOU TO WRAP UP TO
I THINK YOU'RE- YOUR INTO THE
NEXT WITNESS OKAY SIR. WE ARE
ABOUT TRYING TO EMPOWER LOCAL
MUNICIPALITIES. TO DO WHAT
THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IS BUILD
HOUSING FOR PEOPLE IMMEDIATELY
THANK YOU SO MUCH. REALLY
APPRECIATE YOUR TESTIMONY. THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS ALEX
TAURUS THE BURY COUNCIL HERE WE
ARE PROUD TO CO SPONSOR AND HELP
ADVANCE THIS MEASURE I THINK IF
YOU LOOK OUTSIDE THAT ROOM YOU
SEE A GOOD CROSS SECTION OF THE
WORK FORCE THAT WILL BUILD THE
PERMANENT SUPPLY HOUSING. THAT
OUR STATE NEEDS INTO THE FUTURE
BUT WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT
WE'RE GONNA DO IN THAT INTERIM
STEP TO KEEP FOLKS OFF OUR
STREETS. OVER A HUNDRED SEVENTY
THOUSAND CALIFORNIANS EXPERIENCE
HOMELESSNESS ON ANY GIVEN DAY AS
MY COLLEAGUE- CENTER BECKER
STATED. THIS OPPORTUNITY HOUSING
CONSISTS OF NON CONGREGATE
HOUSING THE TAKES MONTHS TO
BUILD AND INSTALL BUT NOT YEARS.
THE UNITS ARE ENGINEERED FOR
RESIDENTS TO STAY YEARS NOT
MONTHS IF NO PERMANENT HOUSING
OPTIONS IS AVAILABLE HOPEFULLY
DECISION THIS COMMITTEE IN THE
LEGISLATURE MAKES WILL MAKE THAT
PERMANENT SUPPLY. ONLINE IN THE
NEAR FUTURE BUT WE NEED TO DO
SOMETHING AS I SAID IN THE
INTERIM. OPPORTUNITY HOUSING
UNITS ARE BUILT WITHOUT
FOUNDATIONS THANK YOU REALIZE
TEMPORARILY VACANT AND OR EXCESS
LAND AT LITTLE TO NO COST. A.
TWELVE THE COST OF PERMANENT
HOUSING. IT'S A BIT APPROVED BY
STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATORS
PROVIDE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING FOR
PEOPLE EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS. AND PEOPLE AT RISK
OF BECOMING HOMELESSNESS. SB SIX
THREE FOUR WOULD ENCOURAGE THIS
DEVELOPMENT WELL PERMANENT
HOUSING STUFF PERMANENT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS UNDER
CONSTRUCTION BY DEFINING THIS IN
STATUTE REQUIRING LOCAL AGENCIES
TO RESPOND REQUESTED DEVELOP THE
LAND FOR THIS HOUSING TYPE.
CREATE A STREAMLINED APPROVALS
PROCESS. AND TASK HCD WITH
REVIEWING BUILDING CODES TO
EXPEDITE THE CONSTRUCTION OF
THIS HOUSING. WE WORK WITH
COMMITTEE STAFF AND- ON
AMENDMENTS TO IMPROVE THE
COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL
GOVERNMENT. INCLUDING GRANTING
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FINAL SAY OVER
THE PROPOSED PROJECTS ON PUBLIC
LANDS. FOR THESE REASONS VERA

THE DAILY CURTAIN CALIFORNIA
CONFERENCE CARP. CONFERENCE OF
CARPENTERS WHY SHOULD HAVE THAT
DOWN BY NOW. I DO WANT A ONE
COME IF I MAY WE ANSWERED. AND
BUT WE WANT TO MAKE. THAT WE DO
NOT CONFUSE THE CONCEPT
PREVAILING WAGES IN THE
MANUFACTURING FACILITIES. WELL
CONVERSATION I DON'T KNOW IF
THAT WAS BROUGHT UP OR NOT. THE
WEIRD STRONG SUPPORT THANK YOU
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE
ANYBODY ELSE IN ROOM TWENTY ONE
HUNDRED THAT WOULD LIKE TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT. SEEING NO
MOVEMENT IS THERE ANYBODY THAT
WOULD LIKE TO SERVE AS A LEAD
WITNESS IN OPPOSITION WHEN I
INVITE YOU TO PLEASE COME
FORWARD. GOOD MORNING- TURN
MEMBERS ON BEHALF OF THE
CORPORATION FOR SUPPORTIVE
HOUSING HOUSING CALIFORNIA THE
NATIONAL LINES AND THIS IS.
WESTERN CENTER ON LAW AND
POVERTY. A CALIFORNIA RURAL
LEGAL ASSISTANCE AND PUBLIC
INTEREST LAW PROJECT WE ARE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED. JUST TO BE CLEAR WE
FULLY SUPPORT THIS CONCEPT FOR
ENTRANCE MISSING. AND WE COULD
EVEN- SUPPORT THE BILL IF IT
WERE JUST FOCUS ON IN TERMS OF
SAYING. WE WERE PROBABLY SUPPORT
OF A PROVISIONS IN CURRENT LAW
AROUND LOW BARRIER NAVIGATION
CENTERS AND A BY RIGHT PROCESS
AND HOUSING ELEMENT LAW. THAT
ALLOWS SHELTERS AND OTHER INTRUM
SETTINGS TO BE CITED BY RIGHT.
WE AGREE WITH THE AUTHOR THAT
PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE KICKED OUT
OF SHELTER SETTINGS AND NOTHING
IN CURRENT LAW REQUIRES PEOPLE
BELIEVE IN TERM SETTINGS DURING
THE DAY OR AFTER A CERTAIN
PERIOD OF TIME. HOWEVER THE TEXT
OF SB SIX THIRTY FOUR AND THE
BILL AUTHOR INDICATES THESE TINY
HOMES. SHOULD RECEIVE STATE
PRIORITIZATION AND FAVOR AS
PERMANENT OR TRANSITIONAL
HOUSING AND FOR THIS REASON WE
ARE OPPOSED UNLESS AMENDED THANK
YOU VERY MUCH OF THE STATE HAS
PROVIDED AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITH
STREAMLINING PROCESSING PASSED
BECAUSE THE PUBLIC GOOD THAT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROVIDES. BUT
NOTHING IN THIS BILL HAS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROVISIONS
AND SPONSORS OF INDICATED THEY'D
LIKE TO TURN TO RENT EVEN AS AN
INTERIM SETTING. OF THE SPONSORS
HAVE INDICATED THEY LIKE TO
CREATE TRANSITIONAL MODEL OF
HOUSING. AND BE ABLE TO END
SOMEONE'S TENDENCY WHENEVER THEY
CHOOSE WHICH IS- CONTRARY TO OUR
CURRENT HOUSING LAW. THAT WOULD
RESULT IN TENANTS HAVING WHO
HAVE BEEN HOMELESS TO LOSE THEIR
STATUS IS HOMELESS WHICH WILL
MEAN THEY WILL BE INELIGIBLE FOR
MANY HOUSING PROGRAMS. THEY DID
DEDICATED SPECIFICALLY TO PEOPLE
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. LIKE
ANY NUMBER OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS
AND THE HAPPY HOME CAN MANY
OTHER PROGRAMS THE STATE
PROVIDES. FURTHER ONE OF THE
SPONSORS OPERATES TINY HOMES NOW
AND SOME SEGREGATED COMMUNITIES
THAT HAVE LITTLE ACCESS TO
AMENITIES ARE JOBS WHICH MAKES
IT UNTENABLE FOR LONGER TERM
HOUSING. TRANSITIONAL HOUSING IS
NO LONGER FUNDED BY THE STATE OR
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR A
REASON BECAUSE IT IT DOESN'T
MODEL THAT DOES NOT WORK IT'S
BEEN FOUND TO ACTUALLY- RESULT
IN MORE PEOPLE RETURNING TO
HOMELESSNESS THAN- THAN ANY
OTHER MODEL INCLUDING AND FROM
HOUSING. THE MODEL TYPICALLY AND
OFTEN DOES NOT HAVE PLUMBING AND
ARE TYPICALLY PLACED ON A CEMENT
SLAB OR DIRT AND BUILDING
MATERIALS DO NOT LAST VERY LONG.
WHICH MAKES IT ACTUALLY MORE
EXPENSIVE PER SQUARE FOOT THAN
AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT IS
CONSTRUCTED- I AND I'M MORE
FOUND A AND FOUNDATIONS. WE HAVE
OFFERED AMENDMENTS THE AUTHOR'S
. AND WITH STAFF AND WE HOPE
THAT THEY'LL BE AMENABLE TO
ADDRESSING OUR CONCERNS THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. GOOD MORNING
CHAIRMAN RISK CHRISLEY HERE ON
BEHALF OF THE URBAN COUNTIES OF
CALIFORNIA AND STAY ON BEHALF OF
THE RURAL COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES
OF CALIFORNIA ALSO WITH AN
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED POSITION
ON THE BILL THAT'S AND PRINT.
REALLY TWO ISSUES FIRST IN TERMS
OF THIS BEING A POTENTIAL MODEL
FOR INTERMOUNTAIN- DON'T WANT TO
GET IN THE WAY OF THAT BUT DO
YOU WANT THE BY RIGHT PROCESS TO
BE SIMILAR BASED ON. THE
EXISTING PROCESS FOR THE LOW
BARRIER NAVIGATION CENTERS THAT
WAS THE FIRST I'M REQUESTED
AMENDMENT THAT WE CALLED OUT IN
OUR LETTER ON THE SECOND- YOU
KNOW I HEARD A LOT OF
CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW WE DON'T
WANT TO COMPETE. WITH PERMANENT
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING HERE AND I
THINK THAT'S FINE BUT ONE
SECTION SIX RELATED TO THE USE
OF PUBLIC LANDS WE THINK THIS IS
ACTUALLY GIVING THIS MODEL A
MORE PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT THAN
ANY OTHER TYPE OF HOUSING
INCLUDING PERMANENT HOUSING.
THERE'S A LOT OF BILLS PRECEDING
THIS YEAR ABOUT THE USE OF
PUBLIC LANDS- PUTTING PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT LIMITATIONS ON THE
ABILITY TO LEASE LANDS WITHOUT
FIRST OFFERING THEM. TO
PERMANENT- AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPERS AND SO WE'VE ASKED
FOR THAT SECTION OF THE BILL TO
COME OUT- IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE
MIGHT BE SOME AMENDMENTS TODAY
THAT HELP. RESOLVE THAT AS WELL
BUT WE LOOK FORWARD TO REVIEWING
THOSE. AND WE'LL REASSESS OUR
POSITION BUT CURRENTLY OPPOSE
UNLESS AMENDED. AND ALSO I'VE
ALSO BEEN ASKED TO ITERATE THE
POSITION OF THE CALIFORNIA
SPECIAL DISTRICTS ASSOCIATION.
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED RELATED TO
THOSE PUBLIC LANDS PROVISIONS
THANK YOU. MANAGER MEMBERS JASON

MUCH APPRECIATE THE CREATIVITY
IN THE SPELL I THINK YOU SAID IT
AT THE BEGINNING WHICH IS DON'T
LET THE PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF
THE GOOD WE HAVE. A CLEAR
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS ON OUR
STREETS WE HAVE ENCAMPMENTS
WITHIN THE SHADOW OF THE CAPITOL
WE HAVE PROPERTY THAT IS
AVAILABLE FOR SHORT TERM MID
TERM FIVE YEARS OR LESS HOUSING
WE SHOULD BE UTILIZING THAT SO I
AM VERY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THIS-
AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO
ARE IN OPPOSITION TO RECONSIDER
THAT TO THINK ABOUT. THE HOPE
THAT WAS CREEK- COMMUNICATED
FROM THE FOR THE FIRST WOMAN WHO
TESTIFIED- SUGGESTING THAT WE
CAN DO A LOT AND WE SHOULD DO IT
WITH ENERGY ALSO I THINK THERE'S
A LOT OF POTENTIAL HERE AND I'M
REALLY GRATEFUL THAT YOU AND THE
SPONSORS AND THE COMMITTEE HAVE
COME UP WITH THIS IDEA. SO WITH
THAT I WILL MOVE APPROVAL. THE
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BECAUSE
I'M SURE I WILL CLOSE THIS
REMOTE WHICH IS ADDRESS SOME OF
THE COUNTRIES I THINK YOU AND I
REALLY APPRECIATE. YOUR COMMENTS
AND YOUR SUPPORT I'M SEE I THINK
SERVING AS A LOCAL ELECTED
INFORMS THAT AND I REALLY
APPRECIATE IT AND YEAH WE'RE
CERTAINLY HAPPY TO- CONTINUE YOU

ECONOMICS OF THAT BUT- BUT

AND- BUTTON. CERTAINLY WILL DO
EVERYTHING. IN MY POWER TO BUILD
MORE PERMIT FOR THE HOUSING

ACTING CHAIR COMMITTEE MEMBER-
THIS IS A BARN BERMAN BILL SB
FOUR SEVENTY FIVE WOULD
AUTHORIZE THE CITY OF LAGUNA WAS
TO UTILIZE A PORTION OF THE CITY
CENTRE PARK LAND FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW. ORANGE
COUNTY FIRE AUTHORITY FIRE
STATION WHILE ALLOWING THE CITY
TO RE INVEST IN THE REMAINING
PARK LAND THE ONLY FIRE STATION
CURRENTLY SERVING THE CITY IS
LOCATED ON ITS EASTERN BOUNDARY.
BUT IN RECENT YEARS THERE'S BEEN
AN INCREASE IN CALL VOLUME
COMMUNITY GROWTH AND TRAFFIC.
THIS IS LEAD LONGER RESPONSE
TIMES TO THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF
THE CITY AS WELL AS THE NEARBY
CANYONS THEY'RE VERY VERY PRONE
TO WILDFIRES. AS A RESULT
THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT NEED TO
HAVE A SECOND FIRE STATIONS
STRATEGICALLY LOCATED WITHIN
CITY FOR IMPROVE DELIVERY OF
SERVICES. A. TWENTY TWENTY NO TO
ANALYSIS OF UNDEVELOPED SITES
THAT CAN PHYSICALLY ACCOMMODATE
A NEW FIRE STATION DETERMINED TO
THE CITY CENTER PARK WOULD BE
THE BEST LOCATION TO SERVE THE
WESTERN PART OF THE LAGUNA WOODS
CITY. CITY DID RECEIVE A HUNDRED
TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND
STATE GRANT FUNDS IN TWENTY
ELEVEN TO MAKE VARIOUS
IMPROVEMENTS THE CITY CENTER
PARK. WHILE THESE FUNDS WERE
ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF THE
FUNDING USED TO IMPROVE THE PARK
THE RECEIPT OF THESE BOND FUNDS.
RESTRICTED LAGUNA WOODS ABILITY
TO LEASE THESE NOT PART
PROPERTIES FOR NON PARK
PURPOSES. PERMITTING THUS THE
NEED FOR STATE LEGISLATION
PERCENT PERMITTING THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW FIRE
DEPARTMENT AT CITY CENTER PARK
WILL IMPROVE RESPONSE TIMES
ACCOMMODATE THE GROWING PUBLIC
SAFETY DEMANDS OF WE'RE GONNA
WOULD RESIDENTS IN NEIGHBORING
AREAS WHILE ALSO MAXIMIZING
UNDER UTILIZED CITY CENTER PARK
LAND. TODAY I HAVE WITH ME CHRIS
MACON CITY MANAGER FROM LAGUNA
WOODS. AND THE LEGISLATIVE
AFFAIRS MANAGER FOR THE ORANGE
COUNTY FIRE AUTHORITY TO TESTIFY
IN SUPPORT. OOPS WELCOME MR
MAKIN THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE
TRIP UP. THANK YOU ABSOLUTELY
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY-
ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF LAGUNA
WOODS I JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE A
COUPLE OF CONTEXTUAL COMMENTS ON
THIS. TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF
CITY CENTER PARK IT IS ABOUT A
HALF ACRE IF YOU CAN IMAGINE A
RECTANGLE THAT SLIGHTLY.
NARROWER ONE SIDE AND SLIGHTLY
WIDER AT THE OTHER SIDE. AND
RUNS UP HILL AND THAT IS THE
PROPERTY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT- IT
WAS ACQUIRED IN TWO THOUSAND AND
ONE FROM THE RALPHS GROCERY
STORE- COMPANY- PRIOR TO THAT IT
HAD BEEN INTENDED FOR USE AS- A
PRIVATE- ROCK ACCESS WAY TO A
GROCERY STORE THAT HAD BEEN
PLANNED FOR AN ADJACENT SHOPPING
CENTER. BUT WAS ULTIMATELY NEVER
CONSTRUCTED. I IN TWO THOUSAND
ONE. THE CITY. WAS DEEDED THE
PROPERTY BY RALPHS GROCERY- SAT
VACANT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS-
AND ULTIMATELY. IN TWO THOUSAND
FOR THE CITY WAS AWARDED.
PROPOSITION FORTY PER CAPITA
FUNDING TO- MAKE SOME
IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT PARK AREA
THAT WAS. TIED TOGETHER WITH
SOME CITY GENERAL FUND MONIES-
AND THE END RESULT IS A PARK
THAT ESSENTIALLY CONSISTS OF. A
CONCRETE WALKING PATH IN AKRON
SERPENTINE CONFIGURATION SOME
LANDSCAPING AND OTHER PASSIVE
AMENITIES IT'S NOT IN ACTIVE USE
PARK AT ALL THIS IS NOT SPORTS
FIELDS RESTROOMS. THERE'S NO
LIGHTING- IT'S VERY MUCH JUST A-
LANDSCAPED AREA WITH SOME
WALKING- MOBILITY. THE FUNDS
WERE USED IN TWENTY ELEVEN FOR
THAT PURPOSE- ORIGINALLY TWO
HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND ABOUT A
HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND WAS
CARRIED FORWARD TO A- A SECOND
AGREEMENTS WITH STATE PARKS.
PASSWORD A COUPLE OF YEARS THE
ORANGE COUNTY FIRE AUTHORITY
IDENTIFIED A CLEAR NEED FOR AN
ADDITIONAL FIRE STATION BASED IN
THE CITY OF LAGUNA WOODS AND
SPECIFICALLY ON THE WESTERN SIDE
OF LAGUNA WOODS- FROM MY
COLLEAGUE AT FIRE THIRTEEN A
MOMENT ABOUT MORE OF THAT
PROCESS. BUT I WANTED TO MAKE
SURE YOU KNOW THAT- WE WORKED
SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE FIRE
AUTHORITY TO SCREEN LOCATIONS
THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND
ULTIMATELY AS- THE SENATOR
MENTIONED- CITY CENTER PARK WAS
IDENTIFIED AS THE BEST LOCATION
FOR IT. AND QUITE FRANKLY THE
ONLY FEASIBLE LOCATION IN LAGUNA
WOODS. SO WE'RE PROPOSING TAKING
ABOUT POINT THREE TWO ACRES OF
THAT POINT FIVE SIX BOB PARKSIDE
TURNING THAT INTO A FIRE STATION
AND THEN REINVESTING IN THE
REMNANT PARK- TO THE TUNE OF AT
LEAST TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS WHICH WAS THE
APPRAISED VALUE OF- THE- THE-
PARK PROPERTY PROPOSED FOR USE
AS A FIRE STATION SO. FROM THE
CITY'S PERSPECTIVE WE ABSOLUTELY
BELIEVE THAT THE PROPOSED FIRE
STATION- IS CRITICAL TO THE
SAFETY AND WELFARE OF OUR
PREDOMINANTLY SENIOR COMMUNITY
AND WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR
SUPPORT TODAY. AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TESTIMONY. CHIEFLAND YOU
COME ON UP. GOOD MORNING MY NAME

ONE FIRE STATION LOCATED ON
EASTERN AND- IS ALSO LOCATED
NEAR THE A. F. IN A FOUR OH FIVE

ARCHULETA SENATOR. THIS WILL BE
ITEM. NUMBER EIGHT AND THAT'S SB
FIVE SIXTY THREE BY SENATOR
ARCHULETA- WHENEVER YOU'RE
READY- MORNING ENOUGH MISTER
CHAIRED COMMITTEE MEMBERS- I'D
LIKE TO THANK YOU OF ALL. LIKE
TO BEGIN BY OBVIOUSLY- ACCEPTING
AND NOTIFYING YOU THAT I'VE
ACCEPTED THE COMMITTEES
AMENDMENTS AND I THANK THE CHAIR
AND- AND THE STAFF FOR WORKING
WITH MY OFFICE IN THE SOME VERY
VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE. TODAY I'M-
OF PRESENTING SENATE BILL FIVE
SIX THREE WHICH WILL ENSURE THE
AIR DISTRICTS ARE ABLE TO APPLY
FOR FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FROM
THE STATE AND FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT. CALIFORNIA'S THIRTY
FIVE LOCAL AIR DISTRICTS ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR REGIONAL AIR
QUALITY PLANNING MONITORING AND
FACILITY PERMITTING. UNDER
CURRENT LAW THE TERMS DISTRICTS
SPECIAL DISTRICTS DEPENDED
SPECIAL DISTRICT AN INDEPENDENT
SPECIAL DISTRICTS ARE ALL
DEFINED HOWEVER THESE
DEFINITIONS ARE AMBIGUOUS AND
SOMETIMES CONJECTURE EIGHT. SOME
STATURE IT SUMS S. AS SUCH A
TORY DEFINITIONS CATEGORICALLY
EXCLUDE THEIR DISTRICT WHILE
OTHERS DEFINITIONS INCLUDE THEM
AS A RESULT OF THESE CONFLICTING
AND CONFUSING PROVISIONS LOCAL
AIR DISTRICT THAT WOULD
OTHERWISE QUALIFY AS INDEPENDENT
ARE CURRENTLY NOT ELIGIBLE FOR
FUNDING. THESE CONTINUES THIS
CONTINUES TO HAVE NEGATIVE
IMPACTS ON THE AIR DISTRICTS
ELIGIBILITY TO RECEIVE VITAL
STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDED. AS AN
EXAMPLE DURING THE PANDEMIC
FEDERAL FUNDING WAS MADE
AVAILABLE THROUGH THE AMERICAN
RESCUE PLAN ACT TO PROVIDE
FISCAL RELIEF TO LOCAL PUBLIC
AGENCIES FOR UNANTICIPATED COSTS
AND REVENUE LOSSES OCCURRED DUE
TO THE COVERT NINETEEN PANDEMIC.
AS PART OF THESE FUNDS THE
AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN GAVE STATES
AND LOCAL AGENCIES THE AUTHORITY
TO TRANSFER A PORTION OF THE
FUNDS TO THE SPECIAL DISTRICTS.
THIS FEDERAL LEGISLATION DID NOT
DEFINE SPECIAL DISTRICT THAT
INDEPENDENT OR DEPENDENT DESPITE
THIS IN CALIFORNIA THE FOR THIS
FEDERAL FUNDING WAS APPROPRIATED
THROUGH AN ANNUAL BUDGET ACT AND
DIRECTED SPECIFICALLY TO
INDEPENDENCE BETUL DISTRICT
ONLY. DUE TO THIS. CONTRADICTION
AN AMBIGUOUS DEFINITION THERE
DISTRICTS WERE DEEMED INELIGIBLE
TO APPLY FOR THIS TYPE OF
FUNDING. THIS BILL IS CRITICAL
BECAUSE IT WILL EVEN THE PLAYING
FIELD FOR THESE AIR DISTRICT TO

RIGHT NEXT UP ON THE DOCKET
DOCKET IS ITEM NUMBER SEVENTEEN
THAT SB SEVEN BY SENATOR BLAKE
SPEIR. THIS JUMP JUMP OVER.
THANK YOU SENATOR WHENEVER
YOU'RE READY. THE ALONG WITH.
WHAT. ALL I BY PAUL JUDGE I
DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER HAD GONE ON
I WASN'T HERE. SO I'LL TRY TO
QUICKLY OKAY SO- THANK YOU
ACTING CHAIR AND COLLEAGUES I'M
I'D LIKE TO THANK THE COMMITTEE
FOR ITS EXTENSIVE WORK ON THIS
BILL THIS IS SB SEVEN I'M
ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENTS
PROPOSED IN COMMENTS TO FOUR AND
FIVE CONTAINED IN THE ANALYSIS
AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
FINALIZING THE LANGUAGE AROUND
THE QUESTIONS RAISED INCOME AT
THREE WITH BOTH THIS COMMITTEE
AND WITH THE HOUSING COMMITTEE.
SO WITH THIS A MAN WITH THESE
AMENDMENTS SB SEVEN INSURERS
GRANT FUNDING IS MORE EQUITABLY
AND FAIRLY DISTRIBUTED ACROSS
THE STATE I WANT TO THANK THE
CHAIR IS NOT CURRENTLY HERE BUT
OTHER COMMITTEE STAFF AND
ADVOCATES I'VE ENGAGED WITH FOR
STRENGTHENING THIS BILL. SO NO
ONE DESERVES TO BE WITHOUT A
HOME WE ALL AGREE UP WITH ABOUT
THAT I THINK NO ONE DESERVES TO
LOSS OF DIGNITY THE LOSS OF
SAFETY AND THE ADVERSE IMPACT ON
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH THAT
HOMELESSNESS CAUSES. WE ALSO ALL
DESERVE TO HAVE OUR PUBLIC
SPACES FREE OF PEOPLE LIVING IN
THEM. IN A STATE OF THREE POINT
EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS WHICH IS
THE FOURTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN
THE WORLD THE QUESTION REALLY IS
NOT WHETHER WE CAN AFFORD TO
HELP OUR NEIGHBORS WHO ARE
STRUGGLING WE CAN. THE QUESTION
IS WHETHER WE WILL DO WHAT IS
NECESSARY. TODAY I PRESENT YOU
SB SEVEN WHICH WOULD OBLIGATE
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS WHICH IS
CITIES AND COUNTIES TO PLAN FOR
AND PROVIDE HOUSING TO THEIR OWN
HOUSE RESIDENTS ACCORDING TO THE
POINT IN TIME COUNT NUMBERS.
WHILE THERE IS CURRENTLY A LOT
OF EFFORT AND MONEY DEVOTED TO
ACTUALLY HOPING. ON HOUSE RENT
ARE ON HOUSE NEIGHBORS. FROM
BOTH THE PUBLIC SECTOR IN THE
PHILANTHROPIC SECTOR THERE IS NO
MANDATE FOR CITIES AND COUNTIES
TO ACTUALLY HOUSE OUR STATE'S
HOMELESS POPULATION. AND THERE
ARE MANY CITIES AND
COUNTERMEASURES THAT ARE HOPING
THAT ANOTHER CITY WILL TAKE THE
OBLIGATION OF HOUSING THERE ON
HOUSE POPULATION- SO THAT THEY
DON'T HAVE TO HAVE IT IN THEIR
CITY. SO WE DO NOT NEED A
MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE TO KNOW
THAT THE BEST WAY TO GET PEOPLE
OFF THE STREET IS TO PROVIDE
HOUSING IT'S COMMONSENSE POLICY.
AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT HOUSING
FIRST WORKS. SO THIS BILL
REQUIRES. CITIES AND COUNTIES TO
PROVIDE HOUSING. ACCORDING TO
THE NUMBER IN THERE POINT IN
TIME COUNT AND THEY MUST
INTEGRATE THIS. INTO THEIR HOMES
ACTION AND RENO PLANS. EIGHT CD
WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBLE
OVERSIGHT. ACT WOULD EVALUATE
PROPOSALS AND DISTRIBUTE FUNDING
FROM THE HOMELESS HOUSING
OBLIGATION FUND TO LOCAL
NONPROFIT AND PUBLIC AGENCIES.
PRIORITIZING THE CITIES AND
COUNTIES THAT JOINTLY APPLY FOR
FUNDING AS THE CHAIR HAS
RECOMMENDED. THIS OBLIGATION
APPLIES TO CITIES AND COUNTIES
THAT ARE RECEIVING STATE FUNDING
THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. AND LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS CAN MEET THE
OBLIGATION TO HOUSE ON HOUSE
CALIFORNIANS IN A VARIETY OF
WAYS. INCLUDING BY BUILDING
HOUSING PROVIDING HOUSING
VOUCHERS INCENTIVISING LANDLORDS
TO ACCEPT VOUCHERS CONVERTING
MOTELS AND HOTELS IN THE
HOUSING. PROVIDING OPERATING
SUBSIDIES FOR EXISTING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS AND
PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY HOUSING.
THIS BILL IS STILL WORK IN
PROGRESS AS MY STAFF SPONSORS
AND I CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE
WITH ADVOCATES AND INCORPORATE
INPUT TO ACHIEVE OUR SHARED
GOALS. I'D LIKE TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE AGAIN FOR THE RESEARCH
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND
ANALYSIS. AND WITH ME IN SUPPORT
TODAY WE HAVE MAHDI MONCHY AND
DION TURNER FROM THE INNER CITY
LAWCENTER. AS WELL AS DEXTER
O'CONNOR FROM THE SAFE PLACE FOR
YOU. AND I RESPECTFULLY URGE AND
I'VE. OKAY WILL COLOR FIRST
PRIMARY WITNESS IN FAVOR OF THE
BILL. SUPPORTER THE BILL GO
AHEAD SIR. GOOD AFTERNOON TURN
MEMBERS MY NAME IS DIONNE TURNER
WITH INTERCITY LAWCENTER WE ARE
PROUD SPONSORS SENATE BILL SEVEN
. INITIALLY LAWCENTER IS SKID
ROW'S PRO BONO LEGAL SERVICES
PROVIDER EVERY DAY WE HELP
PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS OR AT
THE PRECIPICE OF BECOMING
HOMELESS. FINANCIER HOUSING TO
FREE LEGAL SERVICES SB SEVEN
WILL ENSURE THAT EVERY LOCALITY
IS REQUIRED TO BUILD HOUSING.
FOR RESIDENTS EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS WITHIN THEIR
JURISDICTIONS. EVERY LOCALITY
CALIFORNIA'S EITHER HOME OR A
PLACE OF BIRTH PLACE OF WORK FOR
LOW INCOME CALIFORNIANS. THE MAN
DEMOCRATS JONAS THAT ARE SENT TO
WORKERS AT THE HEART OF
CALIFORNIA'S ECONOMY. NEVER THE
LESS LOW INCOME CALIFORNIANS ARE
MOST LIKELY TO BE RENT BURDEN
AND FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS OF
HOMELESSNESS. A TWENTY TWENTY
TWO REPORT OF THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOUND THAT
WE NEED TO BUILD A ONE POINT TWO
MILLION AFFORDABLE HOMES OVER
THE NEXT DECADE METER HOUSING
GOALS. L. A. COUNTY ALONE IS
SHORT OVER FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
HOMES THAT ARE AFFORDABLE TO
LOWER INCOME HOUSEHOLDS. AND I
COULD TALK AND ECONOMIC
ROUNDTABLE STUDY FOUND IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN THAT ALMOST SIX HUNDRED
THOUSAND L. A. COUNTY RESIDENTS
ARE IN POVERTY. AND SPEND 90% OR
MORE OF THEIR INCOME ON HOUSING.
WHEN FOLKS ARE SPENDING DRASTIC
AMOUNT OF INCOME ON HOUSING P.
R. ONE PARKING TICKET AWAY ONE
MEDICAL BILL. OR ONE MISHAP FROM
SPIRALING THROUGH THE PIT OF
HOMELESSNESS. BUT TWENTY TWENTY
WITH THE STUDY FOUND THAT THREE
FOURTHS OF LA HOMES ARE RENT
BURDENED SPENDING OVER 30% OF
HOUSEHOLD INCOME ON RENT AND
UTILITIES AND HALF BEING
SEVERELY RENT BURDENED. SPENDING
OVER 50% OF THEIR INCOME. ON
RENT AND UTILITIES. ALMOST HALF
DELAYED THEIR BILL PAYMENTS OR
TAKE ON ADDITIONAL DEBT JUST TO
MAKE RENT. ANY HOME ASSIST IN
CALIFORNIA WILL REQUIRE THE
SCALE OF PRODUCTION AND FUNDING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO A
SIGNIFICANT SCALE. WE MUST MOVE
RAPIDLY TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING TO OUR IN HOUSE
NEIGHBORS LIVING ON THE STREETS
AND STRUGGLING FAMILIES ALIKE.
SB SEVEN REQUIRES LOCALITIES TO
BUILD SUFFICIENT AFFORDABLE
HOUSING TO MEET THE HOUSING
NEEDS OF ALL OUR RESIDENTS. SB
SEVEN INTRODUCES A VARIETY OF
MEANS TO ACCOMPLISH AFFORDABLE
HOUSING GOALS INCLUDING MASTER
LEASING. PROVISIONAL RENTAL
SUBSIDIES HOTELS AND MOTELS
CONVERSIONS. AND BUILDING NEW
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IN ADDITION
SB SEVEN CREATE A FUND TO
SUPPORT CITIES MEETING THE NEEDS
OF THEIR OWN HOUSE RESIDENTS.
ENTER LOCALITY FAIL. TO MEET

EXPRESSED SOME CONCERNS. AND TO
THE OTHERS OFFICE- HER STAFF IN
THE SPONSORS WE HAVE TWO PRIMARY
CONCERNS ONE IS IT WEIRD TO DO A
LOT OF THIS PLANE AND READ AND I
ALSO. WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA DUPLICATE
EFFORTS WITH WITH THIS PROPOSAL
THAT IT IT IT YOU KNOW
COMPLIMENTS. THAT PLAN PROCESS
WE ALREADY DO. THE SECOND THING
IS REALLY IDENTIFYING THAT
FUNDING SOURCE WE SHARE THE
SENATORS DIRE TO IDENTIFY
FUNDING TO GET FUNDING. TO
LOCALES IN ORDER DRESSEL MISSUS
IS BEEN A TOP PRIORITY
ORGANIZATION FOR NEARLY FIVE
YEARS NOW- SO WE WANT TO WORK IF
YOU IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THAT-
THE FUNDING IS GOING TO BE
INCREDIBLY CRITICAL WE DO NOT
HAVE THE MONEY. WE WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO HOUSE INDIVIDUALS US
WITH A FOUR TO WORKING WITH YOU
ON THIS MEASURE HOPEFULLY WE GO
TO SPOT WE'RE GOING TO SUPPORT
THE BILL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
NEXT PRIMARY. AN OP. GOOD
MORNING VICE HEARST OR AND SEND
. CORNELIUS BURKE WITH THE CAL
BUILDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION WE
ARE CALIFORNIA'S HOME BUILDERS-
WE ARE RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION SB
SEVEN. WEEKS WE OPPOSE A BILL
FOR THREE REASONS. FIRST READER.
ALREADY REQUIRES PLANNING FOR
HOUSING FOR EXTREMELY VERY LOW
INCOMES WHICH IS 00250% OF A. M.
I. YOU REALLY CAN'T GO ANY LOWER
THAN 0% OF A. M. I. SECONDLY.
HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS. JULIE
DON'T HAVE MEASURABLE AND- IN.
AND MOST AREN'T LOOKING TO ME
RANT OR PURCHASE HOMES WERE
LOOKING FOR RAPID. HOUSING AND
SHELTERS. THIS BILL DOESN'T DO
ANYTHING ABOUT SERVICES IT'S
IMPORTANT. THAT WE THINK OF
HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS
INDIVIDUALS. WE THINK ABOUT COLO
KIDDING HOUSING WITH SUPPORTIVE
SERVICES. I JUST LASTLY. THE
INTENT OF SB SEVEN. IS ALREADY
IN CURRENT HOUSING ELEMENT LAW.
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION SIXTY
FIVE. FIVE EIGHT THREE. SECTION
EIGHT SUBSECTION SEVEN REQUIRES
A THOROUGH ANALYSIS OF HOMES
NEEDS IDENTIFICATION. OF
ADEQUATE SITES FOR HOUSING FOR
HOMELESS. WE ALL CAN AGREE AS A
SENATOR MENTIONED HER REMARKS.
THAT WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER.
TO ADDRESS OUR STATE'S HOMELESS.
CRISIS WE ALSO HAVE A HOUSING
CRISIS. IN OUR MAJOR CONCERN IS
THAT. WITHOUT FUNDING AND WITH
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS IT'S
CALL FALL ON THE BACKS OF
HOMEBUILDERS. WITH ADDITIONAL
FEES TAXES INCLUSIONARY ZONING.
SO WHERE IT HAD A GREAT
CONVERSATION WITH CENTERS OFFICE
IN THE US SPONSORS LOOKING FOR
TO CONTINUE CONVERSATIONS ARE
MAJOR OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL IS
THAT IT BE AN ARENA
REQUIREMENTS. BUT WE REALLY NEED
TO WORK TOGETHER HOME BUILDERS
EVERYONE IN OUR STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO ADDRESS OUR
HOUSING CRISIS. IN OUR
HOMELESSNESS CRISIS AND MAKE
SURE WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO
NOT IMPACT NEGATIVELY. HOUSING
PRODUCTION THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE WILL PUT OUR FORMULA SOUTH
AWAY CLOSE TO UNFUNDED MANDATE
THANK YOU. GIVEN WE HAD NO
FURTHER OF IN Q. OKAY SO WE WILL
BRING- THIS ITEM BACK TO THE DIE
FOR. QUEST COMMENTS. WE HAVE A
MOTION. COMMENT MISTER DATA
CENTER GLAZER I JUST TEXAS
QUICKLY FOR SOMEONE AT A PRESS
MY APPRECIATION TO THE AUTHOR
FOR HER PASSION AND COMMITMENT
TO THIS ISSUE AS THE BILL IS
MUCH MORE THAN A- STATEMENT OF
PRINCIPLE I THINK IT'S ALSO A
STATEMENT OF OUR GREAT
ASPIRATIONS FOR WHAT WE SHOULD
BE DOING TO DO THIS RIGHT BY OUR
CITIZENRY. I WANT TO ALSO NOTE
THAT YOU'VE KNOWLEDGE IT'S A
WORK IN PROGRESS THESE QUESTIONS
IN THE IN ALICE'S AND NUMBER
THREE ARE ALL VERY PERTINENT
IMPORTANT. SOME OF WHICH WERE
RAISED BY THE LEAGUE OF CITIES
REPRESENTATIVE I WANT TO GIVE
YOU THE TIME TO BE ABLE TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS. AND SO
WANT TO BE SURE THAT THE BILL
CAN MOVE FORWARD FROM OUT OF
THIS COMMITTEE BUT I KNOW THAT
WE HAVE TO GROUND OUR OUR
DESIRES AND GOALS HERE AND
THAT'S A TOUGH THING BECAUSE-
YOU'RE NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE
THIS THE THESE CONCERNS HERE IN
THE SENATE AND- IT'S BEEN A
TOUGH ONE TO GET OUR- OUR HANDS
AROUND. SUCCESSFULLY AS WE ALL
CAN SEE THAT IN THE COMMUNITIES
IN WHICH WE COME FROM SO WITH
THAT I'M HAPPY TO MOVE THE BILL.
OKAY YOU AND I'D LIKE TO JUST
ADDRESS IF I COULD SOME OF THE-
RESPONSES WOULD YOU LIKE TO
ADDRESSING YOUR CLOSING HER-
WITH NO OTHER COMMENTS WE HAVE A
MOTION BY GLAZER WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CLOSE YES THANK YOU- THANK
YOU THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
I'M SO I JUST WANT TO GROUND THE
POINT OF THIS BILL IN SAYING
THAT THE RENEWAL PROCESS AS IT
EXISTS. MIGHT REQUIRE A THOROUGH
ANALYSIS OF NEEDS. BUT
ESSENTIALLY THOSE ARE JUST WORDS
THAT IS NOT AN ACTUAL OBLIGATION
TO PROVIDE ANYTHING FOR PEOPLE
ARE ANNOUNCED. AND I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE
RENEWAL PROCESS. COULD BE
PROVIDING HOUSING FOR PEOPLE WHO
ARE ALREADY HOUSED EXCLUSIVELY.
SO HAVING A LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
FOCUS ON. THE ON HOUSE
POPULATION THAT IS ACTUALLY ON
CITY AND COUNTY STREETS OF
THESE. THE LAND USES- THAT ARE
WHERE PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY
LIVING ARE WITHIN CITIES AND
COUNTIES SO. SO HAVING THE NEXUS
B. CITIES AND COUNTIES ARE
PROVIDING THE HOUSING FOR PEOPLE
SO THEY'RE NOT. IN ENCAMPMENTS
TO ME MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. BUT
WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE ANY
REQUIREMENTS FOR CITIES AND
COUNTIES. SO THE IDEA THAT- I
BELIEVE COMING FROM LOCAL
GOVERNMENT THE MAYOR OF A CITY.
RELATIVELY SMALL AFFLUENT CITY
IS THAT. THE BARRIERS TO
PROVIDING HOMES HOUSING ARE
CITING AND MONEY. AND SO THE
CITING ISSUES PUTTING THIS IN
THE RENO PROCESS PUTS IT BACK
INTO A LOCAL CONTROL-
CIRCUMSTANCE WHICH IS WHAT RINA
IS THAT CITIES DECIDE FOR
THEMSELVES WHERE THEY'RE UP SONY
WHERE THEIR SERVICES ARE
LOCATED. BUT THERE'S AN
OBLIGATION TO ACTUALLY DO THAT
AND THEN THE STATE WOULD BE
PROVIDING MONEY FOR THESE FOR
THIS HOUSING TO BE PROVIDED.
THERE'S STILL WORK TO DO AROUND
WHAT DO CITIES DUE TO COMPLY
WHAT TYPE OF HOUSING IS IT. IS
IT ONLY PERMANENT AS IT AND TERM
IS A TEMPORARY ALL THE DIFFERENT
VARIABLES OF THAT THAT'S
DEFINITELY STILL- SOMETHING
THAT'S BEING WORKED OUT- BUT I
JUST WANT TO DIRECTLY ADDRESS
THAT THE B. I. A.'S- A STATEMENT
WHICH IS. WHICH IS THAT THERE'S
NO INTENTION TO HAVE
INCLUSIONARY OR FEES BE WHAT
COVERS THIS SO THE IDEA THAT THE
PRIVATE MARKET IS GOING TO BEAR
THIS ON THEIR BACK THAT'S THAT
IS REALLY NOT THE CASE. SO WITH
THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
ABOUT. OKAY SO WE DO HAVE A
MOTION MY GLAZER OF GO AND CALL
THE ROLL. MADAM SECRETARY.
MOTION IS TO PASS A CEMENTED
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
SENATORS CABALLERO SEYARTO. LAKE
SUPERIOR. LEG SPINNER I DAWALY.

SENATOR LIMÓN YOUR ITEM EXACT
NEXT STEP THIS IS I. S. B. FIVE
EIGHTY FOUR BY SENATOR LA MOME.
WELCOME CENTER. THANK YOU CHAIR
IN SENATORS FIRST I'D LIKE TO
ACCEPT THE COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS
AND THINK THE COMMITTEE AND THE
CHAIR FOR. THEIR WORK ON THIS
BILL IN ADDITION TO ALL
CALIFORNIA THAT ALL CALIFORNIA
HAS DONE TO ADDRESS THE HOUSING
CRISIS IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
ALSO CONSIDER MODEL IN WHICH THE
GOVERNMENT PLAYS A GREATER ROLE
IN BUILDING AND REHABILITATING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS THAT
ARE PUBLICLY OWNED AND FINANCE I
HAVE HEARD REPEATEDLY FROM MY
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FOR YEARS THAT
THE NEEDED ON GOING FUNDING
SOURCE TO MEET OUR HOUSING GOALS
ESPECIALLY FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. THIS BILL CREATES A
STATEWIDE ASSESSMENT ON THE
COMMERCIAL USE OF RESIDENTIAL
HOMES AND THE APARTMENTS FOR
TRANSIENT OCCUPANCY FOR SHORT
TERM RENTALS. SB FIVE EIGHT FOUR
WILL PROVIDE A BUDGET PROOF
SOURCE OF INCOME FOR MORE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT
CALIFORNIA DESPERATELY NEEDS I
WITH ME TODAY IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL WE HAVE BET BEVERLY YOU
FROM THE STATE BUILDING AND
CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL OF
CALIFORNIA AND SHANTI SINGH FROM
TENANTS TOGETHER TO SPEAK IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL. WELCOME IF
YOU GO AHEAD WITH YOUR TESTIMONY
GOOD AFTERNOON MR VICE CHAIR
MEMBERS BEVERLY ON BEHALF THE
STATE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
TRADES COUNCIL REPRESENTING HALF
A MILLION MEMBERS STATEWIDE. WE
THANK THE AUTHOR FOR BRING THIS
FORWARD AND HER HARD WORK AND
HER STAFF WORK ON THIS BILL- ASK
YOU KNOW HOW CALIFORNIA IS
FACING A SEVERE HOUSING CRISIS.
WE ARE PROUD SPONSOR FOR THIS
REASON WE BELIEVE ONE OF THE
MANY REASONS WHY CALIFORNIA IS
NOT BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING
UNITS IS BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE
A DEDICATED. BUDGET PROOF
FUNDING SOURCE TO DO SO. IN THE
LAST DECADE CALIFORNIA'S
POPULATION GREW BY OVER TWO AND
A HALF MILLION THE CREATION OF
NEW HOUSING UNITS HAS NOT KEPT
PACE. I'M CREATING A SHORTAGE
AFFORDABLE UNITS FOR BOTH
RENTERS AND HOMEOWNERS ALIKE-
HOMEBUYER SKEWS ME LIKE. THE
LAST THREE YEARS DESPITE ALL THE
PROGRESS CALIFORNIA HAS MADE TO
BUILD HOUSING THE STATE IS ONLY
FUNDING 16% OF WHAT IS NEEDED TO
GET- PROJECTS OFF THE GROUND.
THE BILL CREATES A STATEWIDE
ASSESSMENT A SHORT TERM RENTAL
TRANSACTIONS TO PARTIALLY
REPLACE PERMANENT OCCUPANCY
UNITS THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE.
UNDER THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
THE FUNDS WILL BE COLLECTED BY
CD TFA AND ULTIMATELY
DISTRIBUTED BACK TO LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS. PROPORTIONATE TO
THE AMOUNT COLLECTED. IN THOSE
RESPECTIVE COUNTIES TO BE USED
BY PUBLIC ENTITIES AND LOCAL
HOUSING AUTHORITIES TO PAY FOR
THE COSTS OF CONSTRUCTION. AND
REHABILITATION OF LABOR FORCE
HOUSING. LABOR FORCE HOUSING IS
PUBLICLY OWNED PUBLICLY
FINANCED- IT ALLOWS HOUSING FOR
A MIXED RANGE OF INCOMES FROM-
THE VERY LOWEST INCOME LEVELS
ALL THE WAY UP TO MODERATE
INCOME LEVELS. WHO CANNOT AFFORD
MARKET RENTS- THIS BILL HAS
STRONG TENANT PROTECTIONS AND
STRONG LABOR PROTECTIONS AS WELL
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION. SB FIVE
EIGHT FOUR PRESENTS A REAL
SOLUTION TO OUR STATE'S HOUSING
NEEDS TAKING THE PROFIT MOTIVE
OUT OF KEEPING PEOPLE HOUSE.
ALLOWING FAMILIES TO GROW THEIR
SAVINGS AND STABILIZING
COMMUNITIES. WE. ASK FOR YOUR
AYE VOTE THANKS SO MUCH. THANK
YOU VERY. THANK YOU MEMBERS AND
COMMITTEE STAFF- MY NAME IS
SHANTI SINGH I AM THE
LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR AT TENANTS
TOGETHER WE ARE COALITION OF
ALMOST SIXTY RENTER LED
COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS
THE STATE AND OUR MEMBERS
REPRESENT CALIFORNIA RENTERS AND
WORKING FAMILIES IN BIG CITIES
SUBURBS EXERTS FARM COMMUNITIES
AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN. THE
TENANTS IN ORDER THAT WE'RE
WORKING WITH ACROSS CALIFORNIA
ARE WORKING TWO OR THREE JOBS
AND MOVING INTO THEIR CARS
BECAUSE THEIR HOUSING IS NOT
SECURE BECAUSE THEY'RE RECEIVING
PROHIBITIVE RENT HIKES WERE
BEING EVICTED WITHOUT PROTECTION
. OUR RENTS GO UP ALL OUR WAGES
CONTINUE TO STAGNATE. WITHOUT
THE CONSISTENT PUBLIC INVESTMENT
THAT SB FIVE EIGHTY FOUR WOULD
PROVIDE WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
BUILD OR PRESERVE ENOUGH
AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO MEET THE
ONE POINT TWO MILLION UNITS
SHORTAGE OF THE HOUSING
CALIFORNIA HAS IDENTIFIED AS THE
NEED FOR LOW TO MIDDLE INCOME
CALIFORNIANS. WE CAN ONLY BUILD
HOUSING WHEN THE ECONOMY IS
BOOMING TO SOLVE OUR WHOLE
HOUSING SHORTAGE IN OUR
HOMELESSNESS CRISIS WE NEED TO
BE BUILDING AND ACQUIRING
HOUSING FOR OUR WORKING CLASS
EVEN WHEN THE MARKET IS DOWN.
SPECULATIVE BEHAVIOR AROUND
SHORT TERM RENTALS HAS
CONTRIBUTED TO A SHORTAGE OF
STABLE AFFORDABLE HOUSING NOT
JUST FOR A LONG TERM RENTERS BUT
ALSO FOR PROSPECTIVE OWNERS IN
COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE. SB
FIVE EIGHTY FOUR SIMPLY ASKS THE
BENEFICIARIES OF SCOTT.
SKYROCKETING RENTS AND HOUSING
SPECULATION TO PAY THEIR SHARE
SHARE AND PREVENT HOMELESSNESS.
WE SEE THAT CALIFORNIA VOTERS
ARE PASSING LOCAL AFFORDABLE
HOUSING INITIATIVES TO RAISE
COUNTER CYCLICAL REVENUE IN
PLACES LIKE SAN FRANCISCO LOS
ANGELES AND HOPEFULLY MANY MORE
SOON BUT THEY CANNOT DO THIS
LOCALLY. A LOAN WE NEED
CONSISTENT REVENUE AND
INVESTMENT AT THE STATE LEVEL WE
ARE THE WORLD'S WEALTHIEST
SUBNATIONAL JURISDICTION. AND WE
NEED TO PASS FIVE EIGHTY FOUR SB
FIVE EIGHTY FOUR. TO PRIORITIZE
MILLIONS OF CALIFORNIANS WHETHER
EXTREMELY LOW INCOME OR MIDDLE
INCOME AND EVERYWHERE IN BETWEEN
WHO ARE BURDENED BY THEIR
HOUSING COSTS. THIS BILL WILL
BUILD WEALTH BY PUTTING MONEY
BACK IN THE POCKETS OF
CALIFORNIA RENTERS TO INVEST IN
THEIR FAMILIES ARE SMALL
BUSINESSES IN THEIR COMMUNITIES
WE RESPECTFULLY URGE DR. SB FIVE

WIENER. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR-
THE OFTEN I'VE HEARD VERY
VARIOUS CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS
BILL INCLUDING WHEN IT CAME TO
HOUSING COMMITTEE I'M GONNA BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY- TO
MOVE THE CONVERSATION FORWARD
INTO TWO ASPECTS OF FIRST THIS
BILL BILLS LABELED AS A SOCIAL
HOUSING- BELLA I DON'T KNOW.
DUNKERLEY THAT IT WHETHER IT'S
MORE SOCIAL HOUSING OR SIMPLY
AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHATEVER THE
LABEL- THERE ARE NOW THREE-
BILLS LABEL TO SOCIAL HOUSING
BILLS ONE BY CENTER HOG- ONE BY
SOME REMEMBER LEE AND THIS ONE-
AND SO AS WE NOTED. IN OUR
HOUSING CAMINO. THESE BILLS ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO BE HARMONIZED-
AT SOME POINT OUT THAT DOESN'T
HAVE TO HAPPEN IN THE FIRST
HOUSE BUT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO BE. A HARMONIZED THE SECOND
PIECE WHICH I'VE INDICATED WE
TALKED ABOUT AT LENGTH IN OUR
HOUSING COMMITTEE ANALYSIS THIS
BILL. SETS A PRECEDENT THAT FOR
THE FIRST TIME THAT I'M AWARE OF
EVER IN CALIFORNIA SKILLED WORK
FORCE WOULD BE ATTACHED TO
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FUNDING. WE
HAVE NEVER DONE THAT. BEFORE AS
THE LEGISLATURE- THE- AS IT WILL
BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION A
LATER IN THE HEARING- THE DOT
STANDARD CAN POTENTIALLY-
EXCLUDE A HUGE NUMBER OF
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS- FROM.
WORKING ON THESE PROJECTS-
BECAUSE- I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE
CONSTRUCTION WORKFORCE UNIONIZED
AT A MUCH HIGHER PERCENTAGE IT'S
AT ABOUT NINE PERCENT. NOW SO
91% CONSTRUCTION WORKERS- ARE.
DON'T QUALIFY. I SO DOT CREATES
VARIOUS CHALLENGES AND I ISSUE-
THAT I THINK ARE GOING TO HAVE
TO BE. DEALT WITH- BUT AS I-
INDICATED ABUNA VOTING TO MOVE
THIS FORWARD TODAY TO CONTINUE
THAT CONVERSATION THANK YOU.
CENTER SIERRA. ALL RIGHT- THANK
YOU FOR TRYING TO ADDRESS
ESPECIALLY THE BUILDING OF THE
HOUSING PART. THE ISSUE THAT I
REALLY LAND ON IS THE WHO FUNDS
IT. AND WHERE THIS MONEY COMES
OFF ANOTHER WORDS ON WHOSE BACKS
ARE WE DOING THIS- A COUPLE
QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR BILL DOES
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR B. AND
B. REYNOLDS ARE YOU TALKING
ABOUT OWNER OCCUPIED OR NOT
OWNER OCCUPIED. SO AT THAT THE
THIS IS FOR- ALL VACATION
RENTALS IT'S NOT- FORWARD JUST
ONE SINGLE COMPANY SO I JUST
WANTED TO CLEAR THAT UP- AND- AT
THE MOMENT- THE AMENDMENT THAT
WE TOOK- FROM THIS COMMITTEE SET
THE DE MINIMUS OF A HUNDRED
THOUSAND A YEAR FOR THE
FACILITATOR OF THE RENTAL- IF
THE OPERATOR. DOES NOT USE A
FACILITATOR AND SO THAT'S REALLY
THE BASIS AS OPPOSED TO RENT
HER. I'LL KEEP ON OCCUPIED SO
WHEN YOU MEAN FACILITATOR. YOU
HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONSERVE THE
IT COULD BE A COMPANY SO LIKE
AIRBNB IT COULD BE AT DIRECT
MOST OF THEY USE AIRBNB AND THEY
ARE AN OWNER OCCUPIED. AIRBNB
WHERE THE- OWNER IS ON SITE.
YEAH I DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER
10% DOT ON TOP OF THE 12%
THEY'RE ALREADY PAYING IF IT'S A
YEAH IF IT'S OVER A HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS SEE THIS IS
WHERE THIS WHERE I BY. STRUGGLE
WITH A LOT BECAUSE- OF A LOT OF
THE OWNER OCCUPIED ONES THEY
DON'T NECESSARILY WANT STRANGERS
IN THEIR HOME- BUT AT THE SAME
TIME THAT MIGHT BE THEIR ONLY.
THEIR ONLY WAY OF STAYING IN
THEIR HOME IF THEY HAVE HIGH
PROPERTY TAXES AT SENTARA- JUST
FROM- YOU KNOW AND NOT HAVE A
JOB ANYMORE THAT'S THEIR INCOME.
AND SO THIS AFFECTS THEM AND
WITHOUT THEM IT WITH THEM BEING
PART OF THIS. THAT CONCERNS ME A
LOT THE OTHER ONE IS A LOT OF
THESE YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A CATION
RENTALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT
THAT OUR LEGACY HOMES- THEY ARE
NOT GOING TO BE PART OF THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SOLUTION AT
ALL- AND- FAMILIES. STRUGGLE TO
HANG ON TO THOSE AND WE KEEP
FINDING MORE AND MORE WAYS TO
MAKE THAT EVEN HARDER. AND
HAVING THEM ENTERED REINTRODUCED
BACK INTO THE VACATION RENTAL
RENTAL HOME- POOL TO BE SOLD IS
NOT. IN ANY WAY GOING TO. MAKE A
- ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING GANT-
WHAT WILL MAKE A DENT IN OUR
PORTABLE HOUSING IS THE THINGS
IS TAKING DOWN THE BARRIERS THAT
WE HAVE CREATED OVER THE LAST
THIRTY YEARS- TO PREVENT HOUSING
FROM BEING BUILT. AND MAKING IT
VERY DIFFICULT MAKING IT VERY
COSTLY. AND AND I JUST DON'T SEE
THIS MOVING THE NEEDLE ON BEING
ABLE TO GET THERE WITH THAT SO I
WILL UNFORTUNATELY BE OPPOSING
TO THIS. OPPOSING THIS MEASURE
TODAY- IF IT DOES GO FORWARD I
WOULD REALLY STRONGLY. ADVISE
THAT YOU FIND A WAY TO CARVE
OUT- THE SINGLE PROPRIETOR
WHETHER THEY USE AIRBNB OR STAY
HOME OR WHATEVER IT IS- BECAUSE-
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THAT THAT
CREATES. US FIXING ARE TRYING TO
ADDRESS THE FUNDING. OF ONE
ISSUE ON THE BACKS OF PEOPLE AND
HAVING THEM LOSE THEIR
PROPERTIES THAT'S NOT FAIR. SO
ANYWAY DOES MY COMMENTS AT THANK
YOU FOR ANSWERING THE QUESTION
APPRECIATE IT A LOT AND AT LIKE
IT'S AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE.
ALL OF THE EFFORT TO EVERYBODY'S
MAKING TO TRY TO ADDRESS
HOUSING- BUT I JUST SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT ARE. DIFFICULT TO
GET BEHIND THANK YOU. SO BREAKS
FOR A PEOPLE. THANK YOU YEAH I
JUST I JUST WANNA CLARIFY THAT-
AN OWNER I. HOME WHERE SOMEBODY
GOES ON TO TWO WEEK VACATIONS A
YEAR AND RENTS OUT THEIR PLACE
IS NOT GOING TO MAKE OVER A
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. SO YOU
KNOW A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR
THRESHOLD ESPECIALLY FOR OWNER
OCCUPIED OF SOME IS RUNNING OUT
A ROOM IN THEIR HOUSE OR PART OF
THEIR HOUSE. IS JUST NOT GONNA
HIT THAT THRESHOLD- SO I YOU
KNOW I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
MAKE THAT CLEAR THAT THE VAST
MAJORITY. OF PEOPLE WHO WHO ARE
IN THAT OWNER OCCUPIED SITUATION
WILL NOT BE AFFECTED BY THIS. IF
THE YES IF THE DEPENDING ON
WHETHER OR NOT THEY USE A
PLATFORM THAT'S THAT THE CABBIE
OUT SO THERE'S A LOT OF CAV
YACHTS IN THIS- BUT THEY'RE EVEN
YOU ARE CORRECT THAT IT'S- OVER
A HUNDRED THOUSAND. FOR IS THE
FACILITATOR. I JUST TO FOLLOW UP
ON THAT POINT- BUT AS I
UNDERSTAND IT THAT YOU THIS THIS
PROPOSAL WOULD WOULD RAISE A
BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR IT COULD
THE S. AT THE A LOT OF PEOPLE
ARE. SELECTED BY GOOD. SO IT
COULD- DEPENDING ON- YOU KNOW
THE PERCENTAGE WE LAND ON THAT
WE ARE TAKING. AMENDMENT 415%
ASSESSMENT I THINK THAT IT'S
IMPORTANT TO HAVE A
CONVERSATION. I THINK IT'S ALSO
IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THIS BILL
HAD VEHICLE HAS ALL THIS BILL
HAS ALLOWED FOR A CONVERSATION
FIRST OF ALL. ON WHAT TYPE OF
FUNDING OUR LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES
NEED A SEED MONEY TO BE ABLE TO
DO THIS AND SO THERE'S NO DOUBT
THAT IF IT RAISES- YOU KNOW
CLOSE TO A BILLION DOLLARS IT
WILL BE USED BY OUR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES. I GOT AND I'M JUST
TRYING TO GET THE FACTS ON THE
TABLE SO ANOTHER FACTOR WOULD
BE. IF IT'S A PROJECTED TO RAISE
A BILLION DOLLARS AT A FIFTEEN
PERCENT. ASSESSMENT HOW MANY.
AND HOW MANY. I GUESS NIGHT.
WHAT IS THAT IN TERMS OF HOW
MANY NIGHTS THAT. PERSON'S GOOD
RUNNING ABOUT HOW HOW MANY
NIGHTS IS THAT. I CAN'T GIVE YOU
A NUMBER FOR HOW MANY NIGHTS AND
I DON'T KNOW THAT THE STATE
COULD GIVE YOU A NUMBER SO PART
OF WHAT WE'VE- YOU KNOW THIS
BILL HAS. KIND OF BEEN COVERED
IS THAT THE NUMBERS ARE ALL
DIFFERENT THAT- THE YOU KNOW THE
INDUSTRY HAS A SET OF NUMBERS.
ARE COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE SOME
TYPE OF REGULATION IN PLACE ALSO
HAVE DIFFERENT NUMBERS AND IT IS
BASED ON COUNTIES AND CITIES WE
DON'T HAVE AN AGGREGATE NUMBER
FOR THE STATE. BUT THIS DOESN'T
PER PER PREVENT A PLATFORM FROM
PASSING THROUGH THIS COST TO THE
INDIVIDUAL. HOMEOWNERS AS IN.
EUROPE SO THIS THIS IS THIS IS
AN ASSESSMENT ON INDIVIDUALS WHO
ARE PUTTING THEIR PROPERTIES UP
FOR RENT. OR FOR. MORE DIRECT
OUT WHATEVER IT IS USING
FACILITY BUT IF THEY USE A
PLATFORM THAT STILL INDIVIDUALS.
CORRECT LEFT FOR MAYBE THE
COLLECTOR BUT IT'S A IT'S A NEW
ASSESSMENT A TAX ON INDIVIDUALS
RIGHT AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
TO RECOGNIZE THAT AT THE END OF
THE CONSUMER. YEAH THAT'S GOING
TO BE PAYING. THE CONSUMER RIGHT
SO THOSE WHO. WHO RENT. THOSE
WHO ARE NOT RENT MARKET PLACE
WILL DICTATE THAT BUT- IT WILL
HAVE IMPACTS. BUT I GUESS MY I
WANTED IT RESPONDED TO THINGS
THAT- WITNESSES SPOKE TO EARLIER
I WANT TO GIVE YOU THE CHANCE
THE FIRST ONE WAS. THE FACT THAT
IT WOULD CREATE A COMPETITIVE
DISADVANTAGE. I'M YOU HAVE YOUR
HUGE COMPETITION IN THE
MARKETPLACE FOR. EDUCATION
RENTALS WHETHER IT'S AT. AN
AIRBNB OR WHETHER IT'S AT A AT A
HOTEL BUT YOU'RE NOT APPLYING
THIS FEE TO. LODGING AT HOTELS I
WANTED SPEAK TO THAT AND I HAD A
SECOND QUESTION. RIGHT SO THE
LODGING AND HOTELS ALREADY AT
HALF FEES I THINK THAT IF YOU
TALK TO THEM THEY FEEL THAT
THEY'VE BEEN PUT AT IT JUST YOU
KNOW IT'S AN UNCOMPETITIVE. THIS
COMPETITIVE TO SPACE BY- THIS
NEW MARKET AND SO I THINK M. IT
JUST DEPENDS ON REALLY THE
PERSPECTIVE- I THINK THAT- IN
SOME COMMUNITIES WE ALSO HAVE TO
RECOGNIZE THIS WOULD BE- YOU
KNOW A STATEWIDE PROGRAM BUT
SOME COMMUNITIES. ARE
MUNICIPALITIES ARE NOT LARGE
ENOUGH- TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THEM
OFF THIS THIS ISSUE ON
THEMSELVES AND DON'T HAVE SOME
OF THE GUIDANCE OR REGULATIONS-
OR DIRECTION ON WHAT THEY DO SO
NOT ALL COMMUNITIES COLLECT. SO
I THINK THAT THIS IS A MORE
STATEWIDE UNIVERSAL APPROACH-
AND I THINK OPINIONS ARE GOING
TO VERY ON WHO'S BEING ADVANTAGE
OR DISADVANTAGE- BUT I THINK
IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE
THAT. THERE WHAT YOU ARE SEEING
TODAY IS PART OF ONGOING
CONVERSATION- SO WE WILL
CONTINUE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS
ABOUT SOME OF THESE ELEMENTS. TO
SEE IF IT CHANGES AND IF. A
NUMBER CHANGES OR IF A WORD
CHANGES I'M OF COURSE. ONLY
THROUGH THE PERMISSION OF THE
COMMITTEE AND CHAIR THEN- YOU
KNOW IT MIGHT THAT PERSPECTIVE
ON HOW MUCH OF A DISADVANTAGE OR
IF THERE'S A DISADVANTAGE. MAY
CHANGE IN THE FUTURE OKAY FAIR
ENOUGH I MEAN CERTAINLY IF
YOU'RE COMPETING ON PRICE. AND
ONE ESTABLISHMENT HAS TO PAY 15%
IN TAXES HIGHER THAN THE OTHER
SALAS SPENT THERE'S GOING TO BE
A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE. THAT
THAT YOU KNOW THAT THE LODGING
ESTABLISHMENT THE HOTEL THE
HOTEL. ESTABLISH CANADIAN HOW
HAPPY BECAUSE SHORT TERM RENTALS
ARE IN THERE MY- PLACE SO I
COULD SEE THEY FEEL LIKE. THAT'S
YOU KNOW COPY. THEY DON'T WANT.
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PRICE. YOU
KNOW THAT THIS IS GOING TO
CREATE A DIFFERENTIAL ON PRICE.
AT WHETHER IT'S AS YOU MIGHT
ARGUE SMALLER AT THE END OF THE
DAY VERSUS LARGER IT'S STILL
AGAIN IT. SEEMS LIKE IT DOES
CREATE THAT MY SECOND QUESTION
THAT WAS RAISED BY A WITNESS
EARLIER WAS THAT. WHY AREN'T YOU
USING EXISTING HOUSING PROGRAMS
THAT WE'VE INVESTED SO MUCH TIME
AND ENERGY. INTO IT INDISCHE.
PROPPING UP AND HELP BELIEVE
MAKING THEM EFFECTIVE. VERSES A
BRAND NEW CREATED. A PROGRAM
THAT ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE HAD
BUILT IN HIGHER COST ELEMENTS.
SO I THINK THAT THIS WAS REALLY
AN IDEA OF WHAT WE HAVE IT. IS
NOT ENOUGH WE HAVE TO CREATE
MORE OPPORTUNITIES- TO BUILD
HOUSING AND SPECIALLY FOR OUR
LOCAL COMMUNITY SO REALLY THIS
IS WHERE THIS CAME FROM- I THINK
THAT WILL CONTINUE THE
CONVERSATIONS TO SEE WHERE IT
LEADS BUT- THIS WAS REALLY AND-
A NEW IDEA. FOR I GUESS IT'S NOT
A NEW IDEA OTHERS HAVE TRIED BUT
TO- IT'S AN IDEA TO CREATE A NEW
FUND NOT TO SUPPLANT BUT TO
SUPPLEMENT. GREAT THANK YOU FOR
THAT THAT FEEDBACK I CERTAINLY
APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS IN THIS
SPACE BECAUSE- WE HAVE A SERVICE
PROBLEM OUT THERE AND I KNOW
YOU'RE WORKING HARD TO HELP US
OUT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. SO I APPRECIATE THAT THE
COMMENTS IN THE DISCUSSION- I
SEE IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY
AND THE REASON THAT THAT I'M SO
SUPPORTIVE OF THE BILL AND I
THINK THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS
THAT- SENATOR LIMÓN IS WORKING
ON. TO TRY TO GET RIGHT THE
NUMBER FIFTEEN WAS A PLUG NUMBER
BECAUSE THERE WAS NO NUMBER IN
THE- IN THE BILL. EXPECT IT'S
GOING TO CHANGE OVER TIME. BUT
BUT THIS IS YOU'RE YOU'RE
COMPARING APPLES TO ORANGES
NUMBER ONE. IS M. THE THAT THE
RESIDENTIAL LONG ABOUT THE
LONGER TERM STAYS- THAT RENTAL
UNITS- HOUSES. CONDOS THEY HAVE
AMENITIES AT HOTELS JUST DON'T
HAVE. AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE
I'VE USED THEM BEFORE- IT'S
GREAT FOR A FAMILY YOU CAN COOK
THERE'S A REFRIGERATOR AND A
STOVE- AND THERE'S MORE ROOM TO
SPREAD OUT. AND SO YOU CAN HAVE
MORE PEOPLE COME AND STAY WITH
YOU ESPECIALLY GRANDCHILDREN. SO
IT'S A IT'S A- IT'S A- OPTION
OPPORTUNITY AN OPTION- TO BE
ABLE TO ENJOY- TRAVELING. AND
HAVING A DIFFERENT TYPE OF UNIT.
BUT WHAT'S HAPPENING CALIFORNIA
IS THAT- WE HAVE SEEN. M.
BECAUSE OF OUR TO OUR OUR THE
BEAUTY AND THE ALLURE OF
CALIFORNIA. INTERESTS WE'VE
SEEN- OUR- HOMES BEING BOUGHT
OUT AND BEING USED AS
INVESTMENTS. TO BE ABLE TO MAKE
MONEY. AND PROPERTY IS ALWAYS A
GOOD INVESTMENT AND IN MANY OF
THE COMMUNITIES THE NUMBER OF.
UNITS I'M NOT USE ANY. NAMES BUT
THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT HAVE-
BEEN TAKEN OFF THE MARKET. ANNA
AND ARE BEING USED AS- AS A AS A
- SIMILAR TO A HOTEL IS
PHENOMENAL AND WHAT IT'S DONE IS
IT'S CROWDED OUT IT'S- IT'S
INCREASED THE COST TO LIVE IN
THOSE COMMUNITIES. IT'S DRIED UP
AVAILABLE- HOUSING UNITS IT'S
BECOME A CASH KERRY TYPE OF
TRANSACTION SO THAT- IT'S VERY
HARD FOR THE- AVERAGE WORKER
THAT LIVES IN THAT COMMUNITY BE
ABLE TO BID FOR A HOUSE AGAINST
A CORPORATE ENTITY ENTITIES
HEDGE FUNDS THAT ARE COMING IN-
AND- AND IT'S TERRIBLY IT'S I
THINK IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY
IMPACTED- MANY MANY COMMUNITIES
AND SO. SO IF THAT'S THE CASE
YOU START LOOKING AT WILL MAYBE
WE SET LIMITS ON HOW MANY. UNITS
IN THAT COMMUNITY CAN BE
UTILIZED FOR THAT PURPOSE AND
BEYOND THAT YOU CAN'T DO IT OR
DO YOU SET UP A REGULATORY
PROCESS THAT HOPES TO PROVIDE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOME SOME
BUILDING AND SO- I REALLY
APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THIS
BILL FORWARD. AS I SAID I'D LIKE
TO BE ADDED AS A CO AUTHOR I
THINK IT'S GOT A LOT MORE WORK
TO DO BECAUSE I THINK- THERE ARE
SOME SOME ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN
RAISE IT THAT NEED TO BE DEALT
WITH. BUT IN THE END ANYWAY THAT
WE CAN HELP OUR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES TO- WELL FIRST OF
ALL IS IT MAYBE THIS'LL HELP
STEM SOME OF THAT. PURCHASING
FOR SPECULATION AND FOR- FOR
ACTIVITY THAT DOESN'T. DOESN'T
REALLY- HELP. FAMILIES THAT ARE
WORKING IN THE COMMUNITY BE ABLE
TO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY THAT
THAT THEY'RE WORKING AND- AND
MAYBE THIS WILL HELP PROVIDE
RESOURCES- FOR US TO BE ABLE TO
BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING SO WITH
THAT SAID I'LL LET YOU-
CONCLUDE. THANK YOU AND I WILL
JUST SAY THAT YOU KNOW THERE'S
YOU'RE ALL THOUGHT LEADERS- IN
THIS SPACE AND CERTAINLY THERE'S
TWO CHAIRS OF TWO COMMITTEES AND
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
COMMITTEES. I'M THERE I THINK
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE
THIS IS A NEEDED CONVERSATION WE
AS A STATE HAVE PASSED A LOT OF
LEGISLATION TO HELP US FAST
FORWARD THE BUILDING- BUT OUR
LOCAL COMMUNITIES ARE STILL
LOOKING FOR WHAT'S THAT SEED
MONEY WHAT'S THE FUNDING HOW DO
WE MAKE. ALL OF THESE LAWS AND-
YOU KNOW IDEAS ON HOW WE CAN
BUILD FAST COUNTRY FRUITION AND
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR FUNDING AND
SO THIS IS AN ATTEMPT AND I HOPE
THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO SUPPORT.
AT THIS ATTEMPT TO HAVE A REALLY
IMPORTANT A NEEDED CONVERSATION-
I SUSPECT THAT THIS BILL IS ONE
THAT WILL HAVE ONGOING
ENGAGEMENT WITH THE OPPOSITION
WITH THE SUPPORTERS ON HOW WE
MOVE SOMETHING FORWARD- TO
BETTER GET TO A PLACE. WHERE WE
ALL UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A
COLLECTIVE IMPACT BUT ALSO A
COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT THAT WE'RE
TRYING TO MAKE IN TERMS OF
SOLVING- ONE OF CALIFORNIA'S TOP
PROBLEMS SO WITH THAT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. GOOD THEIR MOTION. MOTIONS
BEEN MADE MADE BY. CENTER BREAKS
. THE FATHER. MOTIONS TO PASS AS
AMENDED TO A- COMMITTEE SENATORS
COVER. BY CABALLERO SO YOU'RE-
LAKE SUPERIOR. LEG SPINNER I.
DID GLAZER. SKINNER WE- WIENER.
I THREE ZERO. THAT WILL PUT THAT
BILL ON CALL FOR THE ABSENT
MEMBERS THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YOU
CAN.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE WERE
TRYING TO ORGANIZE- HOW TO
PROCEED HERE.
OKAY WILL- CALL UP SENATOR
CABALLERO TO PRESENT SB FIVE
SIXTY FIVE ITEM NUMBER TWENTY.
TRANSACTION. THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR- TAKING OVER THE HELM I AM
PLEASED TO PRESENT SB FIVE SIXTY
FIVE WHICH REQUIRES THE
FRANCHISE TAX BOARD TO IMPLEMENT
CHANGES TO THE FREE E. FILING
TAX SYSTEM FOR LOW INCOME
CALIFORNIANS MANY OF THESE
FILERS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A
VARIETY OF TAX CREDITS SUCH AS
THE CALIFORNIA EARNED INCOME TAX
CREDIT THE YOUNG CHILD TAX
CREDIT AND THE FOSTER YOUTH TAX
CREDIT. THAT THESE CREDITS
PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT CASH
BENEFITS TO LOW INCOME
INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES AND-
AND OUR PROVEN TOOLS TO COMBAT
POVERTY THE LONG TERM RESEARCH
SHOWS THAT THESE- THESE PROGRAMS
TAX CREDIT PROVIDES INCREDIBLE
ASSISTANCE TO INDIVIDUALS THAT
ARE THAT ARE STRUGGLING
ECONOMICALLY AND THAT THE LONG
TERM PROGNOSIS IS REALLY GOOD-
FOR PROVIDING THEM. FOR EXAMPLE
A QUALIFYING INDIVIDUAL UNDER
CAL- EARNED INCOME TAX CAN EARN
AS MUCH AS THREE THOUSAND FOUR
HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN DOLLARS-
THE YOUNG CHILD TAX CREDIT UP TO
A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND- THAT
FOSTER YOU TAX CREDIT IS UP TO A
THOUSAND EIGHTY THREE DOLLARS.
DESPITE THE SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS
THESE CREDITS PROVIDE MANY
COMPLEXITIES EXIST THE
DISCOURAGE RESIDENTS FROM FILING
THEIR TAXES TO OBTAIN THE
CREDITS IN TWENTY TWENTY I
AUTHORED SB FORTINO NINE WHICH
TASK THE FRANCHISE TAX BOARD TO
PROVIDE THE REPORT TO THE
LEGISLATURE WITH RECOMMENDATIONS
ON HOW TO REDUCE BARRIERS THAT
LOW INCOME OR NO INCOME FILERS
OFTEN FACE. THAT DISCOURAGED TAX
FILING USING FREE AND STATE
SPONSORED SERVICES IN THE STUDY
FTV OUTLINED A NUMBER OF
DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT LEAD TO
LOWER THAN ANTICIPATED FINDING
RIGHT. FOR LOW INCOME
CALIFORNIA'S. FOR EXAMPLE TAX
SURVEYED REPORTED THE TAX RETURN
PREPARATION IS COSTLY. AND THAT
FREE TAX PREPARATION SERVICES
ARE NOT READILY ACCESSIBLE OR
VERY LOW INCOME TAX PAYERS THAT
DON'T HAVE A FILING REQUIREMENT
ARE UNAWARE THAT THEY ARE STILL
ELIGIBLE TO CLAIM THE TAX
CREDIT. FTV ALSO REPORTED
OPERATIONAL CHALLENGE CHALLENGES
THAT REDUCE ACCESS TO FILING.
THE CLAIM TAX CREDITS SUCH AS A
LACK OF STATUTORY AUTHORITY TO
IMPLEMENT NEW STRATEGIES LIKE
DATA PRE POPULATION IN TAXPAYER
OUT REACH. SB FIVE SIXTY FIVE IS
A SIMPLE TOOL THAT BEGINS THE
PROCESS TO IMPROVE THE STATE TAX
FILING PROCESS BY REQUIRING FDB
TO ENHANCE CAL FILE TO CREATE A
MORE USER FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE.
THIS BILL WILL AUTHORIZE THE
FRANCHISE TAX BOARD. FOR THE
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE TAX YEAR TO
EXPAND THE CALIFORNIA FILE
SYSTEM TO PRE POPULATE KNOWN
INFORMATION FROM PAST TAX WHAT
FILERS. THAT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE
TO RECEIVE THESE TAX CREDITS IT
DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY FILE THE
TAXES AND PROVIDES EACH FILER
THE OPPORTUNITY TO FULLY REVIEW
AND CHANGE INFORMATION AS
NEEDED. THIS STEP WILL MODERNIZE
CAL FILE AND IS THE FIRST OF
MANY TO BEGIN A TRANSITION TO A
RELIABLE AND SAFE FILING PROCESS
ENCOURAGES GREATER ACCESS TO THE
STATE'S. FREE FILING SYSTEM FOR
LOW AND NO INCOME INDIVIDUALS
WITH ME TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT IS
CRISTINA BASS HAMILTON ON BEHALF
OF ECONOMIC SECURITY PROJECT
ACTION. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY
NAME IS CHRISTINE ABOUT HAMILTON
I'M HERE TESTIFYING ON BEHALF OF
ECONOMIC SECURITY PROJECT
ACTION. THANK YOU TO TEAR
CABALLERO FOR HER CONTINUED
COMMITMENT TO REMOVING BARRIERS
TO THE TAX FILING PROCESS.
ECONOMIC THE ECONOMIC SECURITY
PROJECT ACTION ADVANCES POLICIES
THAT GIVE PEOPLE THE FREEDOM AND
STABILITY TO THRIVE IN CHIEF
AMONG THOSE ARE THE TAX CREDITS.
THAT PUT MONEY DIRECTLY INTO THE
POCKETS OF PEOPLE WHO NEED IT
MOST. LIKE THE CALLIE I T. C.
THE YOUNG CHILD TAX CREDIT AND
THE FORMER FOSTER YOUTH CREDIT.
REFUNDABLE TAX CREDITS OR SOME
OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ANTI
POVERTY TOOLS THAT OUR STATE HAS
TO OFFER WORKING FAMILIES.
PROVIDING ONE POINT THREE
BILLION TO OVER FOUR. POINT TWO
MILLION CALIFORNIANS HOWEVER.
WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
IS THAT AS THE LEGISLATURE HAS
CREATED THESE TAX CREDITS AND
IMPLEMENTED THESE POLICIES THAT
ARE TO BENEFIT WORKING PEOPLE
AND LOW INCOME PEOPLE. THERE ARE
THAT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
CALIFORNIANS WHO ARE SIMPLY NOT
ACCESSING THE CREDITS AND ARE
LOSING OUT ON. WHAT THEY HAVE
EARNED AND WHAT THEY ARE
ELIGIBLE FOR. THEY ARE THE
PEOPLE WHO NEED THEM THE MOST.
THERE ARE HIDDEN IN VIRTUALLY
PLAIN SIGHT ALREADY KNOWN TO
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES THROUGH
OTHER BENEFITS BUT ARE STILL NOT
RECEIVING. THIS DIRECT CASH
RESOURCE. IN ONE ANALYSIS IT WAS
FOUND THAT NEARLY HALF A MILLION
CALVARY CIVILIANS WHO ARE
ELIGIBLE FOR THE KELLY ID'S TCU
DID NOT RECEIVE IT. A MAJOR
REASON THAT TAKE UP IS LOW IS
BECAUSE FILING TAXES IS DAUNTING
IT'S TIME CONSUMING INTIMIDATING
CONFUSING. AND AFFORD
UNFORTUNATELY OFTEN EXPENSIVE
ESPECIALLY FOR LOW INCOME
FAMILIES IMMIGRANTS AND PEOPLE
WITH LANGUAGE BARRIERS. THESE
FAMILIES REMAIN OUTSIDE THE TAX
SYSTEM LOCKED OUT OF HUNDREDS OR
EVEN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN
BENEFITS THAT THEY ARE ELIGIBLE
FOR. OTHERS END UP PAYING TAX
PREP FEES THAT EAT UP PART OR
EVEN ALL OF THEIR ACTUAL CREDIT
. WE CAN DO BETTER SB FIVE SIX
FIVE WOULD ALLOW THE F. T. B. TO
MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO CALIFORNIA
OLD TO DEVELOP A TRULY FREE AND
SIMPLIFIED TAX FILING OPTION FOR
QUALIFYING TAXPAYERS. MAKING IT
EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO FILE THEIR
TAXES AND GET THE REFUNDS
THEY'RE OWED. THIS PROPOSAL IS
ALIGNED WITH EFFORTS AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL TO SIMPLIFY TAX
FILING AND CLOSE THE GAP OF THE
TAKE UP RATE FOR THESE CREDITS.
THE IRS HAS IMPROVED ON ITS
PANDEMIC ERA SIMPLIFIED FILING
FOR NON FILERS AND IS
CONTEMPLATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF
A BROADLY AVAILABLE FREE AND
SIMPLIFIED OPTION. MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE I WOULD SIMPLY
OFFER THAT THE LEGISLATURE HAS
TAKING TAKEN WONDERFUL STEPS
FORWARD IN PROMOTING DIRECT CASH
IN THE FORM OF LOW INCOME TAX
CREDITS HOWEVER WE HAVE TO MAKE
IT AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE WHO ARE
ELIGIBLE FOR IT AND WHO NEED IT
THE MOST. SO THAT THEY DON'T
BASICALLY NOT GET THE HELP THAT
THE LEGISLATURE IS INTENDING TO
GIVE THEM. SB FIVE SIX FIVE PUTS
CALIFORNIA AT THE FOREFRONT OF
STATE POLICY MEASURES THAT
STREAMLINED ACCESS TO THIS TAX
CODE AND MAXIMIZE THE IMPACT OF
THE EXISTING INVESTMENTS. I'M
POVERTY FIGHTING TAX CREDITS I
URGE AN AYE VOTE THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
ANY ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TESTIMONY
. THREE NINE IS THERE ANY
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL. PLEASE
COME FORWARD. GOOD MORNING CHAIR
MEMBER MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
APPEAR BLOCKER THE CALIFORNIA
TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION. I WANT TO
START BY THANKING US IN OUR
CABALLERO UNDERSTAFFED AS WELL
AS THE COMMITTEE STAFF. FOR
LISTENING TO OUR CONCERNS AND
EXPRESSING A WILLINGNESS TO WORK
WITH US- HOPEFULLY- POSSIBLY
ADDRESS OUR CONCERNS AND- HELP
US POSSIBLY SUPPORT THE BILL.
ALTHOUGH WE ARE OPPOSED TO THE
BILL- WE SUPPORT THE EFFORT TO
ENSURE THAT ALL CALIFORNIANS
THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THESE TAX
CREDITS CLAIM THEM. OUR MAIN
CONCERN IS WITH THE FTP USING
PRE POPULATED RETURNS FOR
TAXPAYERS- CAL TAXES ALWAYS BEEN
OPPOSED TO THE IDEA OF A- OF A
TAXI YOU SEE BIOLINE. UP PROCESS
REVIEWING AND EDUCATING THE TAX
RETURNS. WE BELIEVE IT'S VITAL
THAT THERE BE A SEPARATION
BETWEEN THE TAXPAYER AND THE
AGENCY UP TO ENSURE FAIRNESS
OBJECTIVITY AND- AND- ACCURACY.
NOW THERE IS- OCCIDENT BE
COMPLICATED EVEN FOR LOW INCOME
TAXPAYERS AND IT'S UNLIKELY THAT

INCONSISTENCIES AND BIASES THE
RELEASED AUDIO TAPES THIS PAST
SUMMER SERVE AS A GLARING
EXAMPLE HOW THE INTEREST OF VIEW
OF A FEW BYPASS- HAVE CONTINUED
TO BY PASS THE GOOD OF OUR
COMMUNITY. IN IT DOES LEAD TO
ERODING PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN
LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND
JEOPARDIZING THE DISTRIBUTION OF
VITAL PUBLIC RESOURCES. ALREADY
REDISTRICTING OFFICE BOUNDARIES
FOR STATE AND SEVERAL COUNTIES
INCLUDING LOS ANGELES COUNTY ARE
BASED ON INDEPENDENT
REDISTRICTING COMMISSIONS
CURRENTLY MAJOR CITIES INCLUDING
LOS ANGELES IT ACTUALLY LOS

LOCAL LOCAL ENTITY YET TO ADOPT

STANDING BASED ON OF CASE LAW.

RELATED TO INCENTIVES AND

DISCOVERED. THAT HE CAN MILLION
MEN THAT WE TOOK IN COMMITTEE.
THAT SOUGHT TO LIMIT GOES
APPLICATION TO YOU ONLY CASE OR
STATE FUNDS WERE USED WAS
EFFECTIVELY ALREADY THE POLICY
THE STATE- DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES EXPERIENCE- FOR
COMMUNITY TURF REPLACEMENT.
PROGRAMS ALREADY STIPULATE THAT
FUNDS CANNOT BE USED FOR
ARTIFICIAL TURF. SO THAT KIND OF
RENDERED THE BILL. MEETING LESS-
THE SO AND NOW WE'RE BRINGING
THIS NEW POLICY FOR THE
COMMITTEE'S CONSIDERATION. WITH
A DIFFERENT VEHICLE- NOW. I THE
LEGISLATURE PASSED A LAW AT THE
HEIGHT OF THE DROUGHTS OF YOUR
MEMBER BACK IN TWENTY FIFTEEN
THAT PROHIBITS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
FROM BANNING. OR REGULATING
ARTIFICIAL TURF IN THEIR
JURISDICTIONS IN AN EFFORT TO
ENCOURAGE. A TRANSITION TO
LANDSCAPING ALTERNATIVES THAT
USE LESS WATER. AS YOU KNOW
EMERGING RESEARCH REVEALS THAT
AND AS WE DISCUSSED ARTIFICIAL
TURF INCURS SIGNIFICANT
ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS INCLUDING
POLLUTION CHEMICAL RUN OFF LACK
OF RECYCLABILITY- AND IS ALSO A
NEGATIVE IMPACT ON SOIL
ECOSYSTEMS. AND- YOU KNOW THE
CONTRIBUTION OF RUBEN HE DIALING
A FACT. AND IN THE PENSION OF
GROUND WATER RECHARGE THESE ARE
SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT I
THINK LED TO THE BILL COMING FOR
LAST TIME AND THEY CONTINUE. IN
FACT I'M YOUR CPA AND I THINK
THAT AND ALSO TALK ABOUT THIS
THERE'S SOME INDICATION THAT ARE
ARTIFICIAL TURF CIVILIZED
CHEMICALS THESE TOXINS LIKE
LEAD. P. FIVE. THAT HAVE BEEN
LINKED TO NUMEROUS HEALTH
PROBLEMS I KNOW SENATOR US
WORKED A LOT ON THIS AND LIKE
MOST PLASTICS ARTIFICIAL TURF IS
A LIMITED LIFESPAN IT'S REALLY
RECYCLE DUE TO HIGH COSTS OF
SEPARATING CLEANING. MATERIAL
IT'S COMMONLY DISPOSED OF IN
LANDFILLS WORK CONTINUES TO
LEACH TOXINS AND MICROPLASTICS
INTO THE SURROUNDING SOIL WATER
AND AIR SO. WE THIS BILL SEEKS
DO IT'S A LOWCOUNTRY MEASURE.
AND IT'S SEEKS TO RETURN. TO
CITIES AND COUNTIES TO DO WHAT
THEY WANT TO DO IN TERMS OF
REGULATION. OF ARTIFICIAL TURF-
TO MANAGE THE SOCIO
ENVIRONMENTAL WASTE IMPACTS IN
THEIR COMMUNITIES- WE TOOK AWAY
THAT POWER FROM LOCAL

YOU HAVE ONE FINAL BILL WHICH IS
A FILE ITEM NUMBER ELEVEN S. B.
EIGHT SIXTY SEVEN THE SMALL ONE
IT'S- FIFTEEN BILLION DOLLAR.
BOND PROPOSAL- SO- THIS IS THIS
IS LEGISLATION IF ENACTED AND
PASSED BY THE VOTERS LAST NIGHT
NEXT YEAR- WOULD WOULD PROVIDE
SIGNIFICANT RESOURCES- FOR
CONCRETE STEPS TO REDUCE. THE
IMPACTS OF RISING GLOBAL
TEMPERATURES. AND EXTREME
WEATHER WEATHER EVENTS AND THAT
PROVIDE INVESTMENTS NECESSARY
PREVENTIVE MEASURES TO PROTECT
CALIFORNIA'S MOST VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES AND OUR NATURAL
RESOURCES. SO ACCORDING TO THE
FOURTH CLIMATE ASSESSMENT THE
CALIFORNIA STATE FORTHCOMING
ASSESSMENT ACOSTA CLIMATE CHANGE
IN CALIFORNIA ALONE COULD BE.
MORE THAN A HUNDRED THIRTEEN
BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY. BY
TWENTY FIFTY. STAGGERING NUMBER
TO EVEN TRY TO CONTEMPLATE- AND
WE DID HAVE A STORY CLIMATE
BUDGET TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO BUT
BUT ONLY A QUARTER OF THAT
FUNDING MUCH OF IT SEEMS IS
GETTING CLAWED BACK. OR DELAYED-
ONLY CORD THAT FUNDING WAS SPENT
ON NATURAL RESOURCES DESIGNED A
STATE COURT COMMUNITIES FROM
FLOODS FIRES AND DROUGHTS AND
EXTREME HEAT IN THE SCALE OF
WHAT IT WILL TAKE TO DELIVER A
CLIMATE RESILIENT CALIFORNIA'S
EXTRAORDINARY. AND THE LONGER WE
WAIT TO MAKE THESE INVESTMENTS
THE HIGHER THE COST WILL BE TO
RECOVER. FROM CLIMATE IMPACTS ME
JUST HIGHLIGHT A FEW THESE
IMPACTS IN NYC LAST THIS YEAR'S
EXTRAORDINARY RAINFALL- EASING
DRUG HAS LED TO MASSIVE FLOODS
DEVASTATING COMMUNITIES REAP
RAVAGING FARMLANDS WHILE THE
LAST. WATER YEARS WERE THE
DRIEST ON RECORD. THIS IS THE
NEW WEATHER PATTERN NOW WE HAVE
TO PLAN FOR BACK TO BACK
EXTREMELY DRY YEARS. PUNCTUATED
BY SEVERE STORMS. OUR CURRENT
SYSTEM SIMPLY AREN'T DESIGNED
FOR THIS NEW NORMAL AND WE'VE
GOT INVEST NOW TO RESHAPE THE
SYSTEMS TO BE BETTER PREPARED.
AND WHILE THE WINTER. WAS
FOCUSED ON BRIDGE LEVEES. IN
ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS. AND A
LOOMING SNOW PACKED THAT
THREATENS EVEN MORE FLOODING WE
KNOW THAT THE FIRE SEASON IS
FAST APPROACHING- TWENTY TWENTY
TWENTY TWENTY ONE- OUR STATE SAW
THE HIGHEST AND SECOND HIGHEST
NUMBER OF ACRES BURNED. IN
HISTORY. WITH A RECORD BREAKING
FOUR POINT THREE MILLION ACRES
IN TWENTY TWENTY AND THEN TWO
POINT FIVE TWENTY ONE. DR MIND
IS ALL ABOUT THE SMELL OF SMOKE-
THOSE TWO YEARS FREQUENT COASTAL
FLOODING EXACERBATED. BY SEA
LEVEL RISE IS ANOTHER LOOMING
DISASTER EXPECTED THREAT NEARLY
HALF A MILLION PEOPLE. AND LOTS
AND LOTS OF- PROPERTY HOW TO
BUILD FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS IN
PROPERTY THREE THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED MILES OF ROAD- RAILROAD.
RAIL LINES AS WELL ALONG THE
COAST WITHIN THE NEXT EIGHTY
YEARS THESE ARE THREATS THAT
CAN'T BE IGNORED THIS BILL.
SITES OF COURSE TO REDUCE THE
SEVERITY OF CLIMATE CHANGE
IMPACTS BY INVESTING IN
NECESSARY MEASURES. TO BETTER
PROTECT COMMUNITIES IN OUR
BILATERAL SOURCES BY WHILE.
ENSURING THAT WE BETTER PREPARED
TO ADOPT SO WHAT DOES THIS LOOK
LIKE. PROJECTS THAT REDUCE FIRE
RISK YOUR COMMUNITIES AND ENSURE
THAT OUR FORESTS ARE HEALTHY OR-
HEALTHY ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND. A
MORE INTENSE WILDFIRES. REDUCING
THE OF CASH. FLOOD EVENTS BY
SLOWING CAPTURING RUNOFF- WHICH
WILL IMPROVE GROUNDWATER.
INFILTRATION AND HELP TO
STABILIZE DRINKING WATER
SUPPLIES. SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT A NUMBER OF BILLS
AND COMMITTEE. ON PROTECTING
COASTAL COMMUNITIES FROM. SEA
LEVEL RISE HELPING URBAN
COMMUNITIES ADAPT TO RISING
TEMPERATURES BY REDUCING THE
HEAT ISLAND EFFECT. THROUGH
GREENING PROJECTS AND INVESTING
IN MEASURES SUCH AS COOLING
CENTERS TO PROVIDE. OUR MOST
VULNERABLE RESIDENTS IT'S ALL
ABOUT TAKING AGGRESSIVE
PROACTIVE STEPS TO ADDRESS THE
IMPACTS THAT WE KNOW ARE COMING.
IT'S IS ONE IMPORTANT STEP IN
THIS. EFFORT AND DEAR WITH ME
TODAY WE HAVE A LIST OF FORSBERG
FOR THE NATURE CONSERVANCY'S
BEEN WORKING REALLY CLOSELY WITH
MY TEAM. AND WITH THE WHOLE
SENATE TEAM AS WE TRY TO PULL
THIS TOGETHER AND ALSO ADAM
KENYON IS. FROM AQUA WHO'S HERE
TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL.
WELCOME CHAIRS AND MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE MY NAME IS LIZ
FORSBERG I'M THE DIRECTOR OF
POLICY FOR THE NATURE
CONSERVANCY. LIFE AS WE KNOW
WHAT IS AT STAKE IN CALIFORNIA
EXTREME HEAT FLOODING DROUGHT
SEA LEVEL RISE AND CATCH A
QUALIFIER THREATEN OUR HOMES.
THE RECENT STRING OF ATMOSPHERIC
RIVER EVENTS AND THE OVER ONE
BILLION DOLLARS IN DAMAGES THEY
BROUGHT IN JANUARY ALONE. ARE
JUST THE LATEST EVIDENCE THAT WE
ARE FAILING TO PROTECT
CALIFORNIA. FROM THE CELEBRATING
IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
DESPITE RECORD BREAKING STATE
BUDGETS STATE INVESTMENT IN
NATURAL RESOURCES HAVE NOT
MATCHED THE PACE AND SCALE OF
DATA FIGHT NEEDS. I CENTER ALLEN
MENTIONED WITHOUT INTERVENTION
THE COST OF CLIMATE CHANGE TO
CALIFORNIA IS ESTIMATED TO REACH
A HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN BILLION
ANNUALLY BY TWENTY FIFTY. WE
APPLAUD SENATOR ALAN FOR
INTRODUCING SB EIGHT SIX SEVEN
WHICH WILL PROVIDE A STRUCTURED
INVESTMENT PLAN TO ADDRESS THE
IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
PROJECTS IN THE BOND FOR DOES
NEEDED TO REDUCE FUTURE COSTS
SUCH AS MAKING LEVY REPAIRS THAT
REDUCE FUTURE FLOODING DAMAGE.
INVESTING IN FORCE MANAGEMENT TO
REDUCE WILDFIRE SEVERITY. AND
IMPLEMENTING PROJECTS THAT
ADDRESS C. LEVEL RISE IN COASTAL
COMMUNITIES. ADDITIONALLY MUCH
THE BOND FUNDING WILL BE USED
FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROJECTS.
PROVIDING STATE FUNDS FOR LOCAL
PROJECTS WOULD AFFECT HOW MUCH
LOCAL FUNDING A SPENT ON THESE
PROJECTS. AND IN MANY CASES THE
AVAILABILITY OF STATE BONDS
COULD REDUCE LOCAL SPENDING. OUR
STATE SIMPLY CAN'T AFFORD TO
KEEP CLEANING UP AFTER ONE
DISASTER AFTER THE NEXT. WE NEED
A SERIOUS INVESTMENT AND CLIMATE
SOLUTIONS AND SB EIGHT SIXTY
SEVEN IS THE BEST PATH TO GET US
THERE THANK YOU. THANK. YOU VERY
MUCH THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS COMMUNIS ON
BEHALF OF THE ASSOCIATION OF
CALIFORNIA WATER AGENCIES.
REPRESENTING OVER FOUR HUNDRED
SIXTY PUBLIC WATER AGENCIES
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA WANT TO
THANK CENTER ALLEN. AND HIS
STAFF TINA- FOR THEIR CONTINUED
LEADERSHIP ON THIS CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT ISSUE. WE MUST INVEST
IN CALIFORNIA'S AGING WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM TO ADAPT
TO CLIMATE CHANGE. LAST YEAR HAS
SHOWN US. THE STATE'S WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM IS NOT.
PREPARED TO EFFICIENTLY MANAGE
CALIFORNIA'S CHANGING CLIMATE-
AS THE SENATOR MENTIONED YOU
KNOW IT'S FROM ONE OF THE DRIEST
PERIODS ON RECORD TO SEVERE
FLOODING AND SNOW PACK OF THE
STATE SYSTEM IS JUST NOT
PREPARED. THE RECENT AMENDMENTS
TO THE BILL IDENTIFIED A NUMBER
OF CRITICAL WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
CATEGORIES THAT ARE NEEDED TO
STRENGTHENED CALIFORNIA'S WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE. SUPPORT A
RELIABLE AND SAFE WATER SUPPLY
AND TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES.
THIS INCLUDES THE FUNDING THAT
IS PROPOSED FOR NEW WATER
SUPPLIES SUCH AS RECYCLED WATER
DESALINATION. GROUNDWATER
RECHARGE- THE INFLATION
ADJUSTMENT FOR THAT WATER
STORAGE INVESTMENT PROGRAM. AND
FUNDING FOR CONVENIENCE PROJECTS
WHICH ARE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT-
BUT THE FUND THE PROPOSED
FUNDING ALSO INCLUDES MONEY FOR
FLOOD PROTECTION DAM SAFETY
WATER QUALITY PROJECTS- AND
CONSERVATION WHICH IS ALSO
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. THIS BILL
WOULD INVEST IN BOTH AG AND
URBAN CONSERVATION- AND ALSO YOU
KNOW THESE NEW OUR WATER SUPPLY
PROJECTS THAT ARE CRITICAL TO-
INSURING WATER RESILIENCE. WE
WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE FUNDING-
FOR SOME OF THESE CATEGORIES
EARLY POLLING THAT WE HAVE-
HEARD ABOUT FROM OUR SOME OF OUR
PARTNERS- SAID. SUGGESTED THEIR
STRONG SUPPORT FOR A FIFTEEN
BILLION OR EVEN GREATER- BOND-
FOCUSED ON WATER NATURAL
RESOURCES- AND WE'VE SEEN SOME
GREAT INVESTMENT- AS LIZ
MENTIONED OVER THE LAST COUPLE
OF YEARS FROM THIS LEGISLATURE
AND THE GOVERNOR. UP BUT MUCH
MUCH MORE IS NEEDED- AND I THINK
THIS BOND- STARTS TO GET THERE.
I RECOGNIZE SOME OF THE COST
ASSOCIATED WITH GENERAL
OBLIGATION BONDS AND THE DEBT
SERVICE THAT IS CREATED IS
REFERENCED IN THE EXCELLENT
COMMITTEE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS-
BUT WOULD JUST POINT TO THE COST
OF INACTION TO COMMUNITIES THAT
ARE IMPACTED BY FLOODS-
AGRICULTURE OPERATIONS THAT MUST
FOLLOW LANDS WILD FIRES AND ALL
THE OTHER IMPACTS ASSOCIATED
WITH SEVERE DROUGHTS. AND FLOODS

PART OF THE OF THE STATE SO. YOU
KNOW FIVE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS SOUNDS LIKE A LOT BUT
WHEN YOU ADD. PUT FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS ACROSS THE
STATE. THAT DOESN'T ADD UP TO
MUCH THIS PARTICULAR BECAUSE-
AREAS LIKE WITH A METROPOLITAN.
A LOS ANGELES AREA WHERE EXTREME
HEAT MITIGATION IS A REALLY. BIG
NEED- SO THEN I LOOK AND SEE
WELL BUT THERE'S TWO BILLION TO
INCREASE COASTAL AND OCEAN
RESILIENCY. SO I GUESS MY
QUESTION IS HOW DOES THIS WORK-
IF THESE WERE IF WE WERE TO KEEP
THESE AS IS THESE AMOUNTS TO
THESE PARTICULAR USES. WHAT DOES
THAT MEAN FOR WHERE IT ACTUALLY
GOES IN THE STATE AND YOU KNOW
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S A
LAYER OF EQUITY- THAT IS APPLIED
TO THIS- AT THE SAME TIME
BECAUSE- THERE'S LOTS OF GREAT
AND AS THE CHAIR SAID. WE COULD
SPEND FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS HERE
BUT WITH FIFTEEN BILLION WHAT
DOES THAT MEAN FOR COMMUNITIES
OF COLOR WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR
WORK FORCE DEVELOPMENT. EIGHT
JUST YOU MAY NOT HAVE ALL THE
DETAILS BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE
TO HEAR. MORE AND- YOU KNOW NOT
NECESSARILY HERE BUT I WOULD
REALLY LIKE TO GET THAT DIG INTO
THAT KIND OF INFORMATION BECAUSE
WE'VE GOT TO BE ABLE TO SAY IT
ALL THE COMMUNITIES TOTALLY.
POOR WHY DOESN'T MATTER WHERE
YOU ARE- YOUR PARTICULAR NEEDS
ARE GOING TO BE- MET OR
DESPERATE THIS IS GONNA BE
DISPERSED IN A MUCH MORE
EQUITABLE WAY YEP. YEAH AND I
THINK YOU'RE RIGHT TO POINT OUT
THAT IT'S A COMPLICATED PROCESS
WE'VE GOT LOTS OF NEEDS LOTS OF
DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL.
CONSIDERATIONS TO WITH THERE'S
ABSENT NO QUESTION THAT
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND- YOU
CAN WORKFORCE FAIRNESS. WRIT
LARGE THE WAY I THAT I KNOW YOU
CARED SO MUCH DEEPLY BALANCE SO
MANY WAS CARE SO DEEPLY ABOUT.
AND ECHO THE BROADER EQUITY
CONCERNS THAT YOU'VE RAISED ARE
ARE ABSOLUTELY. GOING TO BE.
CONFRONTATIONAL BOB VALUES THAT
HELPED TO SHAPE THIS- THIS IS.
SO I I'D LOVE TO WE COULD
CONNECT TO TALK SHOP ABOUT-
PARTICULAR CONCERNS OR- YOU CAN
BE INTERESTED YOU HAVE IN IN
HELPING TO. SHAPE OTHERS GETS
CRAFTED AYE IT'S OBVIOUSLY.
MULTIFACTORIAL PROCESS INVOLVING
THE ASSEMBLY. TO THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE- THIS WAS A- THIS IS A-
NUMBER RUBRIC WE NEED TO PUT OUT
THERE AND JUST TO START THE
CONVERSATION AND NOW. ALL THE
INTENSE NEGOTIATIONS BEGAN AND-
BUT TO TALK ABOUT. YOUR
PRIORITIES AND WHAT HOW HOW TO
HOW TO ENSURE THAT- THOSE
CONCERNS I THINK WE ALL SHARE.
OUR ARE WELL REFLECTED IN THIS.
MY SUGGESTION IN I THINK THAT
THAT HER POINT IS REALLY WELL
TAKEN CENTER THANK YOU FOR
RAISING THE ISSUE BECAUSE- PART
OF THE CHALLENGE IS THAT- WE
DON'T HAVE OUR PARKS.
DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE STATE THE
STATE IN A WAY THAT'S THAT'S
FAIR AND WHEN WE STARTED LOOKING
AT WHERE OUR STATE PARKS ARE
LOCATED THEIR DISPROPORTIONATELY
LOCATED ALONG THE COAST BECAUSE
WE WANT TO. PRESERVE IT AND KEEP
IT BUT WHEN THEN WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT- TEXTING THEM THEN THAT
MONEY GOES TOWARDS THE COAST AND
WE DON'T HAVE. WE DON'T HAVE AS
MANY STATE PARKS INLAND SO WOULD
PROBABLY BE GOOD TO HAVE LIKE A
MAP OF DIFFERENT WE'RE DIFFERENT
RESOURCES WOULD GO SO THAT WE
CAN- HAVE A DIALOGUE. ABOUT
ABOUT WHAT THAT WHAT ADJUSTMENTS
WE MIGHT WANT TO MAKE- AND I
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO
NEGOTIATE WITH THE ASSEMBLY AND
ALSO WITH THE WITH THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE ON WHERE
RESOURCES TO GO. SHOULD GO AND
FRANKLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT
CONSERVANCIES THEY'RE MOSTLY
LOCATED IN REGIONS WHERE THERE'S
MONEY- AND SO THERE AREN'T VERY
MANY CONSERVANCIES AND POOR.
LATINO COMMUNITIES AND SO WHEN
WE FIND CONSERVANCY'S WE TEND
TO. KEEP TRYING TO GET
CONSERVANCIES- TO EXPAND THEIR
THEIR FOOTPRINTS IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY AND IT IT'S A DIFFICULT
THING TO DO. BECAUSE IT'S
EXPENSIVE THAT'S ALL THAT'S ALL
ACTUALLY TRUE IN IT BUT I WILL
SAY THE TWO BIGGEST BLOCKS OF
THE OF THE OF THE BLIND- AS
PROPOSER. DROUGHT FLOOD AND- A
LOT OF THAT SPECIFICALLY
DIRECTED TOWARDS CENTRAL VALLEY-
AND THEN AND THEN WILDFIRE
PREVENTION- WHICH YOU SO MUCH OF
US SO MUCH OF WHICH ENDS AT BY-
IN. YOU KNOW IN A AREAS OF THE
STATE NOT ON THE COAST SO THAT'S
WHY I THINK YOU MIGHT BE GOOD TO
HAVE A MAY BEFORE. THAT YOU
THINK THE RESOURCES WOULD GO
BASED ON DIFFERENT FUNDS BECAUSE
IT MAY BE THAT IT'S REALLY
EVENLY DISTRIBUTED BUT WHAT IT'S
REALLY HARD TO TELL AS WE JUST
LOOKING AT. THINGS THAT MAY BE-
WHERE WE IT'S NOT CLEAR EXACTLY.
WHERE WE'RE INTENDING. AND I SAY
THAT BECAUSE- I THINK PART OF
THE CHALLENGE OF THAT. THE WATER
BOND THAT WAS PASSED. IN. I
DON'T EVEN REMEMBER I DID I DID
THE ORIGINAL WATER BOND THAT WAS
ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS AND THEN
IT GOT CUT DOWN- DURING THE
BROWN ADMINISTRATION BECAUSE
THIS STATE WAS IN SUCH DIRE
ECONOMIC- NEED AND IT BECAME A
SIX. BILLION DOLLAR WATER BOND-
IT'S IT IT HAS NOT MET. THE
HYPE. AT WHICH FOR WHICH IT WAS
SOLD IT WASN'T BIG ENOUGH IS
REALLY THE PROBLEM AND SO IT
JUST DIDN'T DO. EVERYTHING THAT.
PEOPLE EXPECTED IT TO DO AND AS
A CONSEQUENCE. PEOPLE ARE LEERY
OF BONDS AND SO WORK I WE'RE
GONNA NEED TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT
AND TALK ABOUT. WHAT'S IN THE
BOND IT'S GOING TO MAKE A
TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE IN IN EACH
ONE OF THE COMMUNITY SO WOULD BE
GOOD FOR US TO KIND OF GET. GET
A MAP I'M JUST SUGGEST HERE YEAH
WELL WAY TO LOOK AT IT VISUALLY
SO YEAH. YEAH AND I THINK YOU
KNOW WE KNOW THAT INFLOWS
INFAMOUS QUOTE RIGHT ABOUT THE
LEVY- AND HOW IT DIDN'T PENCIL
OUT RIGHT TO HAVE. INVESTED IN
THEIR TO HAVE PREVENTED THAT
KIND OF FLOODING I MEAN JUST
THAT. TELLS YOU RIGHT THAT
SOMETIMES A GOOD IT DOESN'T GET
LOOKED AT THE RIGHT THROUGH THE
RIGHT LENS AND SAW. I WANT TO
HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH YOU
BUT YOU WILL BE THE LEAD PERSON
RIGHT ON THIS. AND SO JUST. NOT
A- CHECK THE BOX CHECK THE LIST
BUT- A FULL LENDS YOU KNOW OF
EQUITIES SO. WITH THAT THANK YOU
CAN. I'M I ABOUT. COMMITTED TO
WORKING WITH YOU AND I CAN'T
TELL YOU THAT I AM THE- THE
THIRD THIRD. IF ONLY I REALLY
WERE THE LEAD PERSON ON AND- YOU
KNOW I MEAN OBVIOUSLY UP WE'RE
WE'RE OUR OFFICE IS TAKING THE
LEAD ON THE ON THE SENATE
VEHICLE NO QUESTION ABOUT IT
BUT- AND WE'RE WE'RE INTIMATELY
INVOLVED IN. AND I YOU KNOW.
ACTUALLY COMMITTED TO. WORKING
WITH YOU TO MAKE SURE THOSE. ARE
YOUR CONCERNS ARE DRESS IN THE
BOND ON A LEASE ON THE SENATE
SIDES VERSION THAT BEING SAID.
IF WE TRULY IS A MULTI FACTOR A
PROCESS WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT
PEOPLE INVOLVED AND- I'M THAT
DESPERATE BUT- BUT- LET'S ALL
GET OUR TEAMS TOGETHER. TO START
TALKING ABOUT YOU KNOW WHAT-
WHAT'S ALREADY IN HERE THAT I
THINK YEAH AND I THINK THEY'RE
ABOVE YOU'LL FIND THERE'S A
NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WILL MEET.
THE CRITERIA YOU'VE YOU'VE
YOU'VE OUTLINED AND THEN- LET'S
TALK ABOUT. FURTHER INVESTMENTS
AND- MAKE SURE THESE CONCERNS
ARE ADDRESSED. PRETTY GOOD ANY
OTHER COMMENTS- I'LL ENTERTAIN A
MOTION. THANK YOU BILL HAS BEEN
MOVED BY SENATOR DIRAJA. THE-
MOTION IS DUE PASSED
APPROPRIATIONS. PLEASE CALL THE
OF ALLOW YOU TO FINISH IS I
DON'T KNOW I YOU KNOW AS
APPRECIATE APPRECIATE THAT THE
DISCUSSION- ALSO APPRECIATE YOUR
UNDERSTANDING OF. THE FACT THAT
OUR NORMAL BILL IS A LITTLE
DIFFERENT THAN. THE TYPICAL BILL
BUT- YOUR TEAMS WORKING REALLY
HARD ON THIS AND WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT- THAT THIS IS
SOMETHING WE CAN ALL FEEL GOOD
ABOUT IT AND PROUD SUPPORTING.
WHEN IT GOES BEFORE THE VOTERS
SO. LOOKING FORWARD TO. TELL THE
FUTURE COLLABORATION. VERY GOOD
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. SENATORS
CABALLERO HI CABALLERO I'D SAY
ARE. LAKE SUPERIOR DOLLY.
DOURESSEAUX DURACELL EICHLER.
SKINNER SKINNER AYE WIENER.
THREE TWO ZERO. WE'LL PUT THAT
ON CALL AND I'D LIKE TO TAKE A
BORN LAST BILL SENATOR SKINNER'S
BILL- WE'RE GOING TO BE BREAKING
FOR LUNCH AND THEN WE LOSE. THE
ROOM FOR PROBABLY A COUPLE OF
HOURS SO- THEN ALL WE HAVE LEFT
ON OUR AGENDA ARE AT THE TWO
BILLS BY SENATOR WIENER. SO
WELCOME CENTER. I THANK YOU SO
MUCH MADAM CHAIR AND APPRECIATE
THIS OPPORTUNITY. BECAUSE I KNOW
THE OTHER BILLS WILL GO A LONG
TIME LONG TIME YEAH. FIVE LET ME
START THIS IS SB FOUR FORTY. I'M
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEES
AMENDMENTS THAT WHERE THE-
HOUSING FINANCE AUTHORITY LAND
USE AUTHORITY CAN ONLY BE
EXERCISED IF THE CITY OR COUNTY.
IN WHICH THE LAND USE AUTHORITY
WOULD BE EXERCISED AS PART OF
THIS- HOUSING FINANCE AUTHORITY.
AND REQUIRING ALL MEMBERS OF THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO BE ELECTED
OFFICIALS AND MAKING OTHER
CLARIFYING CHANGES SO I'M HAPPY
TO TAKE THOSE CAN- WHAT'S THE
PURPOSE OF MY BILL WE ARE ALL
QUITE AWARE OF THE SEVERE
HOUSING. CRISIS THE CALIFORNIA'S
IN. AND TO WHOM AND OF COURSE
EVERYONE WILL SAY THAT BEYOND
THE FACT WE JUST NEED HOUSING WE
NEED MORE HOUSING THAT IS
AFFORDABLE. HOW DO WE GET
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IT NEEDS SOME
LEVEL OF FINANCING THE PRIVATE
SECTOR ALONE DOES NOT- FINANCE
ALL OF OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AND WE GOVERNMENT IS NOT BEEN
ABLE TO FINANCE TO THE LEVEL. OF
THE NEAT SO WHAT IS THE PURPOSE
OF THIS BILL IT EMPOWERS OUR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO JOIN
TOGETHER IF THEY CHOOSE SO
CHOOSE TO DO SO. TO CREATE
REGIONAL FINANCING AGENCIES
REGIONAL HOUSING FINANCE AND
AGENCIES. THAT CAN GENERATE
REVENUE TO ACQUIRE LAND AND TO
CONSTRUCT PRESERVE IN MANAGEABLE
MANAGE AFFORDABLE IN MISSING
MIDDLE HOUSING IN THEIR REGIONS.
SO WHAT SPECIFICALLY TO ADDRESS
THAT HOLD THAT WE HAVE WHICH IS
HOW DO WE HELP TO CREATE THE
FINANCING FOR THAT AFFORDABLE
MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING. SO WHAT
SB FOUR FORTY DOES IS HELP THOSE
REGIONS WHERE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES WHO WANT
TO COOPERATE TOGETHER. TO BUILD
NON MARKET RATE HOUSING CAN DO
SO. NOW WE'VE ARM. THE
LEGISLATURE ALREADY PASSED A
BILL THAT ALLOWS FOR EXAMPLE THE
BAY AREA TO DO THAT. IS VERY
SPECIFIC WE'VE ALSO PASSED A
BILL THAT ALLOWED- LOS ANGELES
AREA TO DO THAT. BUT RATHER THAN
BEING IN A SITUATION WHERE EACH
REGION HAS TO CREATE A BILL AND
DO A ONE OFF WHICH COULD WHO
KNOWS HOW MANY MORE LEGISLATIVE
SESSIONS BEFORE THEY WOULD BE
ALLOWED TO. THIS IS ENABLING SO
THAT THEY CAN. DO THAT IF THEY-
WANT TO COOPERATE TOGETHER AND
IT WOULD STILL NEED TO FOLLOW
LOCAL RULES ON OBVIOUSLY ANY
FINANCING TOOL WOULD STILL NEED
VOTER APPROVAL. AND THERE WOULD
STILL NEED TO BE D. THE LOCAL
AUTHORITIES THEMSELVES WOULD
HAVE TO COME TOGETHER AND MAKE
THESE ARRANGEMENTS AND BRING IT
BEFORE EACH LOCAL AUTHORITY
BEFORE THEIR- COUNCILS FOR
PUBLIC. INPUT IN SUCH SO MOSTLY
THIS IS JUST A KIND OF ENABLING
LEGISLATION TO GIVE KIND OF A-
THAT THE SKELETAL INFRASTRUCTURE
TO ALLOW THIS IN THOSE REGIONS
THAT WANT TO COOPERATE IN THIS
WAY. SO LET ME HAVE ARE- MY GOOD
WITNESSES I'VE GOT MARINA WYANT
FROM THE CALIFORNIA HOUSING
CONSORTIUM. AND STEVE FRISCH
FROM THE MOUNTAIN HOUSING
COUNCIL IN TAHOE AND TRUCKEE SO
THAT YOU CAN SEE THAT THIS IS
NOT JUST A NERVE IN NEED BUT
ALSO IN OUR RURAL AREAS SO MARIA
GO AHEAD. YEAH I MEMBERS RIGHT
NOW I WOULD HAS A CAN PROUD TO
BE A SPONSOR OF SB FOUR FORTY-%
AS THE OTHER NOTED DESPITE
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS AND READ
IN RECENT YEARS THE STATE
CONTINUES TO LACK- COMMITTED
ONGOING FUNDING AT THE SKILL
NECESSARY TO MAKE PROGRESS
TOWARDS CLOSING OR ONE POINT TWO
MILLION. HOME SHORTFALL FOR
HOUSING AFFORDABLE TO OUR LOWEST
INCOME CALIFORNIANS- AND MANY
REGIONS ARE LOOKING FOR WAYS TO
ADDRESS THE UNIQUE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING NEEDS IN THEIR
COMMUNITIES AND IN PARTICULAR TO
RAISE FUNDS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
AND ACQUISITION OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. HOWEVER THE EXISTING
TOOLS AS- MR OFFICIAL NOW IT
HAVE SHORTFALLS AND THIS IS WHY
THE BAY AREA SPONSORED AB
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SEVEN IN TWENTY
TWENTY A LOS ANGELES COUNTY
SPONSORED SB SIX SEVENTY NINE IN
TWENTY TWENTY TWO TO ESTABLISH A
SINGLE UNIFIED APPROACH. TO
ADDRESSING HOUSING INSTABILITY
IN THEIR REASON IN THEIR REGIONS
AND SB SET FOR FORTY SEEKS TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS
INNOVATIVE FUNDING MODEL FOR
HOUSING BY ALLOWING ALL REGIONS
IN CALIFORNIA TO DO THE SAME.
WITHOUT NEED TO COME TO
LEGISLATURE FIRST- AND THE BILL
WOULD AUTHORIZE THE BILL OPERATE
TO A MORE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
ESTABLISH A HOUSING FINANCE
AUTHORITY TO RAISE ADMINISTERING
ALLOCATE FUNDING- AND ALSO TO
PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING NEW
CONSTRUCTION AND THE
PRESERVATION OF EXISTING HOUSING
TO SERVE A RANGE OF INCOMES AND
HOUSING TYPES. I'M HAPPY TO
ANSWERING QUESTIONS AND
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE

THAT BETTER CHARACTER ROCK WE

MAMMOTH LAKES WE ARE SUPPORTERS
OF THE BILL HAVE ONE OR ONE
AMENDMENT THAT WOULD FOR IN
TERMS OF- YEAH MY THE
COMMUNITIES MAKE YOU TO.
WORKABLE FOR THAT OTHERWISE THEY
FOR FAITHFUL TO THE. THEY YOU
VERY VERY MUCH. THANK YOU MISTER
SLIDE. ONE EIGHT. GOOD AFTERNOON
NATALIE ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA
BASED ACCOUNTABLE IN OPPOSITION
. THANK YOU. BECAUSE THANK YOU
MA'AM CHAIR WITH NO FOR THE
SUPPORT. AND VERY GOOD I'M GONNA
BRING THE BILL BACKED THE CA TO
SEE IF ANY COMMENTS OR- SENATOR
ALSO BECAUSE- OF THE ALL OF.
WE'VE PASSED AT LEAST IN YEARS
I'VE BEEN HERE- THE SAME GABE.
HOUSING THINK YOU BROUGH HOUSE-
AFFORD. L. A. AUTHORITY SO
QUESTION IS TO ME ONES WE'VE OUR
- LA AND A BEER FORTY FOUR
SPECIFIC FOR HOUSING FINANCE
CONCEPT. SO ONE OF THE THAT
APPEAL TO ME ABOUT DOING THAT-
FOR LA COUNTY IS OBVIOUSLY THE
COORDINATION AND THE ALL THE
THINGS THAT YOU IDENTIFY HERE
NOW THAT IT CAN CAN YOU KNOW GET
DUPLICATED. HOW DO YOU DO IT IN
A WAY THAT IS STILL EFFICIENT.
LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT IF YOU GET. I
DON'T KNOW- ONE PART OF THE
STATE AND THERE'S THREE OR FOUR
THAT ARE PUT TOGETHER WHAT'S
WHAT CONTROLS THE NUMBER OF
THESE REGIONAL HOUSING- REGIONAL
AUTHORITIES. I GUESS
GEOGRAPHICALLY. IT HOW DID THEY
GET APPROVED IN A WAY THAT YOU
DON'T HAVE THEM ON TOP OF EACH
OTHER QUOTE. I MEAN PART OF THIS
IS WE'RE TRYING TO RESPECT WHO-
IT'S A TOOL FOR THOSE.
LOCALITIES THAT WANT TO
COOPERATE. AND WE DID NOT
EXCLUDE THE EMPHASIS IS ON DEBT
MUST BE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BEING
CITIES AND COUNTIES. BUT WE DID
NOT EXCLUDE PARTICIPATION TO A
LIMITED DEGREE FROM OTHER- LOCAL
AUTHORITIES BECAUSE FOR EXAMPLE
THERE ARE SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT
OWN A LOT OF LAND LAND THAT IS
DEVELOPER WILL FOR HOUSING. BUT
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT MAY HAVE NO
EXPERIENCE DOING THAT KIND OF
WORK. AND YET CITY ACTS MAY HAVE
A LOT AND SO BY COMBINING FORCES
THEY HAVE THAT ABILITY TO YOU
KNOW WHAT TO AND NOT HAVE TO GO
IN DUPLICATE BY HIRING ALL NEW
NEW STAFF FOR FIGURING THAT OUT.
SO THAT'S ONE BENEFIT THE OTHER
BENEFIT IS THAT- RENEW MOST OF
OUR JURISDICTIONS. MMHM THE VAST
MAJORITY OF CITIES IN CALIFORNIA
ARE WAY LESS THAN A HUNDRED
THOUSAND POPULATION. SO MANY OF
THE LITTLE CITIES. THEY DON'T
HAVE THE CAPACITY EVEN IF
THEY'RE VOTERS HAVE WILLINGNESS
THE TYPE OF BOND THAT THEY WOULD
PASS TO THE TIDE WOULD BE
PRETTY- THEY'RE VERY MODEST WERE
ADD TO JOIN TOGETHER. IF I MY
JUST IN IT I'M NOT SAYING THAT
THE CITIES ARE NECESSARILY TALK
ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THERE IS
ALREADY THE BAY AREA HOUSING
AUTHORITY BUT I HAVE CITIES
LIKE. EMERYVILLE ALBANY YOU KNOW
THESE LITTLE COMMUNITIES THAT.
IF THEY WERE TO JOIN TOGETHER.
AND THEN THEY WOULD BOTH HAVE A
VOTING BASE IF THE VOTERS WERE
SO WILLING. TO APPROVE SUCH YOU
KNOW IF IT HOUSING FINANCE TOOLS
THAT WOULD BE A LITTLE MORE
ROBUST. AND THE CAPACITY TO USE
MORE OF THE EXPERTISE TO COMBINE
THEIR EXPERTISE RATHER THAN AND
GO AND HAVE TO HIRE IT ALL
SWEAR- NOW. I'M NOT CONCERNED
THAT THE- SAY REGION ACTS LET'S
TAKE THE- DAY THE CINEMA COUNTY
FOR EXAMPLE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE
LIKE TEN POP UP BECAUSE IT ISN'T
IN THEIR INTEREST. IT DOESN'T
REALLY BENEFIT THIS IS MUCH
EIGHT THE ECONOMY OF SCALE IS
WHAT'S REALLY IN YOUR BENEFIT.
RIGHT SO- WE DIDN'T PUT
RESTRICTIONS ON LIKE THERE CAN
ONLY BE SO MANY THROUGH REGION
BUT THAT CERTAINLY IS AVAILABLE
IN THE FUTURE IF WE START SEEING
THAT THERE'S A CONFLICT. I'D I
DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT TYPE OF
CONFLICT JUST BECAUSE IT DOESN'T
MAKE SENSE. TO YOU KNOW COMPETE
THAT WAY AND IT'S YOU KNOW THE
MORE- THE MORE. EXPERTISE THAT
COMES TOGETHER IN THE- YOU KNOW
MORE OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT
COME TOGETHER THEN THE MORE
EFFICIENT IT IS AND THE MORE
BENEFICIAL IT IS. THANK AT THE
CENTER SENATOR SAY ARE TOUGH.
THANK YOU WHAT IS THE- ADVANTAGE
OR DISADVANTAGE OF THIS OVER.
JUST THE CITIES HAVE IT USING
THEIR JPA AUTHORITIES. TO FORM
J. P. A.'S ANIMAGUS IS HOW WE'VE
ALWAYS DONE IT IN THE PAST AT
THE CITY LEVEL AS WELL WHOEVER
WE WANT TO WORK WITH THE FORMER
JPA. AND THEN WE- AND THEN WE
CAN THAT THE RULES ARE MADE IN
AND THAT'S WHAT WE USE WELCOME
THE LEGAL MECHANISM WOULD MOST
LIKELY BE A JPA. HOWEVER WHAT WE
ARE DOING HERE IS ENABLING ANY
GPA THAT WERE TO BE FORMED THAT
WAY TO HAVE THAT- ABILITY TO
BRING BEFORE THE VOTERS THE
FINANCING BECAUSE THAT IS NOT IN
AUTHORITY THAT GPA CODE NOW
PROVIDES. RIGHT SAID IN A JPA
SITUATION LIKE THAT THEY WOULD
FORM A SEPARATE- FINANCING
AUTHORITY IF THEY WANT TO TAKE
TACKLE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS FIND
THEY WOULD INCORPORATE THAT. IN
THEIR CREATION OF THEIR GPA. I
THANK YOU. VERY GOOD SINGING FOR
THE CAR- A MOTION. CENTER DRAWS
A MOVES TO BUILD THE- MOTION IS
PASS AS A- TO APPROPRIATIONS

FLOOR IS YOURS I THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MADAM CHAIR AND THANK YOU
FOR ALL OF OUR NAVIGATION-
TODAY- SO- MA'AM CHAIR- CALL- SB
FOUR TWENTY THREE- REMOVES THE
SUNSET ON ONE OF CALIFORNIA'S.
MOST SUCCESSFUL HOUSING LAWS AT
LEAST IN PART ONE OF ITS MOST
SUCCESS SUCCESSFUL HOUSING LAWS
SB THIRTY FIVE- WHICH WE PASSED
IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN AND WHICH
MINISTERIAL APPROVES NEW HOMES
AND CITIES THAT ARE FALLING
BEHIND ON THEIR REGIONAL HOUSING
NEEDS ALLOCATION- GOALS ARENA
GOALS- WE KNOW THAT FOR DECADES
CALIFORNIA HAS FAILED. TO BUILD
ENOUGH HOMES. FIFTY YEARS
CALIFORNIA BASICALLY FOUR GUYS-
HELLO HOUSING HAS TRADITIONALLY
WORKED ON PLANET EARTH WHICH IS
THAT AS POPULATION GROWS YOU
BUILD MORE HOMES FOR THAT
GROWING POPULATION THAT SORT OF
THE BACK TO BASICS. KIND OF
APPROACH TO CALIFORNIA USED TO
DO IT THAT WAY AND THEN
CALIFORNIA STOPPED DOING IT THAT
WAY- ABOUT FIFTY YEARS AGO AND
WE ARE NOW- PAYING THE PRICE.
CALIFORNIA HAS AN OUTRAGEOUS
RATE OF HOMELESSNESS- WE ARE
WORKING CLASS FAMILIES WHO WERE
LEAVING MAJOR METROPOLITAN
AREAS. OR LEAVING THE STATE
ENTIRELY- WE HAVE YOUNG PEOPLE
WHO DO NOT SEE A FUTURE FOR
THEMSELVES. I IN THE STATE WE
ARE SHORT MILLIONS OF HOMES AND
WE NEED TO AT A MINIMUM DOUBLE
OUR ANNUAL HOUSING PRODUCTION
AND PROBABLY- BEYOND THAT. I SB
THIRTY FIVE- AND AS NOW AS
BEFORE TWENTY THREE. ADDRESSES
ONE OF THE PILLARS OF OUR
HOUSING CRISIS AND THAT IS THAT
EVEN WHEN PEOPLE ARE BUILDING
NEW HOMES THAT COMPLY WITH ALL
THE RULES ALL THE HIGH DENSITY
AND SAT BACK AND DESIGN
STANDARDS. THEY CAN TILT STILL
TAKE YOU YEARS AND YEARS AND
YEARS TO GET A PERMIT. EVEN
THOUGH YOU CHECK ALL THE BOXES.
YOU MAY NOT GET APPROVED AT ALL
YOUR PROJECT MIGHT GET CUT IN
HALF YOU MIGHT HAVE TO GO
THROUGH A HUNDRED COMMUNITY
MEETINGS- AND LOTS CELLS. I
ADDED IS ENORMOUS
UNPREDICTABILITY AND ENORMOUS TO
LIGHT WHICH MAKES HOUSING MUCH
MORE EXPENSIVE AND ABSOLUTELY
IMPEDES OUR ABILITY TO MEET OUR
HOUSING GOALS WHAT SB THIRTY
FIVE DID AND WHAT SB FOUR TWENTY
THREE WILL MAKE PERMANENT. THEY
SAY THAT IF YOU ARE A CITY THAT
IS BEHIND ON YOUR RENO GOALS- BY
INCOME CATEGORY YOU BECOME
STREAMLINED UNTIL YOU CATCH UP.
AND THAT MEANS IT'S GOOD
GOVERNMENT IF SOMEONE COMES
FORWARD AND SAYS I AM MEET ALL
THE REQUIREMENTS. THE HATE THE
DENSITY AT CETERA. YOU HAVE
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THREE AND SIX
MONTHS SIMPLY TO GIVE THE
PERMIT. NO MORE MULTI YEAR
PROCESS. NO MORE POLITICIZED
APPROVAL PROCESS WHERE IS OWNING
COMPLIANT PROJECT I GETS HELD UP
FOR REJECTED- WE KNOW. THAT IN
THE FIVE YEARS THAT SB THIRTY
FIVE HAS BEEN IN EFFECT. PART OF
THE BILL HAS BEEN EXTREMELY
SUCCESSFUL. EXPELLER AND PART
HAS BEEN MUCH LESS SUCCESSFUL.
FOR A 100% AFFORDABLE SB THIRTY
FIVE HAS BEEN GANG BUSTERS.
ALMOST ALL OF THE 100%
AFFORDABLE PROJECTS IN
CALIFORNIA NOW. THERE
OVERWHELMINGLY SB THIRTY FIVE
PROJECTS AND IT HAS REDUCED
THEIR APPROVAL TIME FROM YEARS
TO MONTHS AND THAT IT'S BEEN A
GAME CHANGER. IN TERMS OF
DELIVERING THE HOUSING MORE
QUICKLY AND REDUCING COSTS. I'M
FOR THE OTHER PIECE OF SB THIRTY
FIVE RELATING TO MIXED INCOME
HOUSING THE BILL HAS BEEN LESS
SUCCESSFUL- I AND WE HAVE MADE
CHANGES TO TRY TO MAKE IT MORE
ACCESSIBLE SPECIFICALLY AND THE
LABOR PROTECTIONS- AND NOT
LANGUAGE WE HAVE CHANGED AND I
KNOW THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST
CONTENTIOUS. ARE PART OF THE
BILL AND THAT ACTUALLY SHOWS HOW
MUCH PROGRESS WE MADE ON HOUSING
USED TO BE THE LABOR PEOPLE WAS
THE WAS A- POTENTIAL FIGHT. BUT
THE MAIN FIGHT WAS ABOUT THAT
THE CITIES IN THE LOCAL CONTROL
THAT IS STILL THERE- BUT
ACTUALLY THE FACT THAT THE LABOR
DISPUTE IS LIKE THE CENTERPIECE
DISPUTE IN THE BILL. I THINK
IT'S A SIGN OF PROGRESS IN TERMS
OF. PEOPLE ACCEPTING THAT THE
STATE IS PLAYING A MORE
SIGNIFICANT ROLE AND HOUSING
BECAUSE WE ARE IN SUCH A DEEP
CRISIS. AT OUR REVISED LABOR
LANGUAGE- WILL PROTECT MORE
WORKERS- BECAUSE OVER 90% OF
RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
IN CALIFORNIA ARE NOT UNIONIZED.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT NUMBER.
MUCH HIGHER THAN THE CURRENT 9%
OVER NOT THE AREA. AND THAT
LABOR LANGUAGE WE HAVEN'T FOR SB
FOUR TWENTY THREE- WILL PROTECT
ALL CONSTRUCTION WORKERS BOTH
UNIONIZED. AND NON UNIONIZED
JUST LIKE WHEN WE PASS A MINIMUM
WAGE OR OTHER WORKER PROTECTIONS
WE PROTECT. BOTH UNIONIZED AND
UNIONIZED AT THE SAME TIME THAT
WE SUPPORT UNION EFFORTS TO
ORGANIZE- WORKERS- SO I
COLLEAGUES- THIS IS A GOOD BILL-
IT'S A BILL WHOSE. TIME IS CON
SB THIRTY FIVE WE NO CAN WORK-
THIS MAKES IT BETTER- AND MAKES
A PERMIT. AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR AYE VOTE. WITH ME TODAY
TO TESTIFY IS LEAD WITNESSES-
ARE- J. BRADSHAW THE EXECUTIVE
OFFICER WITH THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA CARPENTERS UNION- ONE
OF OUR- ONE OF OUR SPONSORS AND
I WANT TO SAID IN ADDITION TO
CARPENTERS. WE'RE PROUD TO HAVE
THE SUPPORT OF BOTH THE LABORERS
AND THE OPERATING ENGINEERS ON
THIS BELT- WE ALSO HAVE MARIE
MARINO Y. AND WITH A CALIFORNIA
HOUSING CONSORTIUM. ALSO ONE OF
OUR SPONSORS ASTRONOMICAL. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH WANT TO WELCOME
YOU TO THE MIKE. THANK YOU GOOD
AFTERNOON CHAIRED MEMBERS MARINO
WHITE WITH THE CALIFORNIA
HOUSING CONSORTIUM- SB THIRTY
FIVE HAS BEEN AN INCREDIBLE TOOL
FOR PROMOTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT AS SENATOR WIENER
EXPLAINED. AND OVER THESE LAST
YEARS OF IMPLEMENTATION- IT'S
REVEALED SEVERAL AREAS WHERE THE
BILL CAN BE STRENGTHENED AND AS
BEFORE TWENTY THREE APPLIES
THESE LESSONS LEARNED TO GET
MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING BILLS
AND TO ACCELERATE DEVELOPMENT OF
MIXED INCOME HOUSING PROJECTS.
WHICH HAVE BEEN LESS SUCCESSFUL
AT USING THE SB THIRTY FIVE
PROCESS BY MAKING SB THIRTY FIVE
STREAMLINING PROVISIONS
PERMANENT SB FOUR TWENTY THREE
WILL ENSURE THAT AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PROVIDERS CONTINUE TO
HAVE ACCESS TO THE STREAMLINED
PROCESS BEYOND TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE. AND ALLOW AFFORDABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPERS TO PLAN THEIR
PIPELINE BEYOND THE NEXT TWO
YEARS. STREAMLINING A 100%
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS A CRITICAL
TOOL TO PROVIDING HOUSING FOR
LOWER INCOME FAMILIES
PARTICULARLY IN COMMUNITIES OF
OPPORTUNITY- WHICH WILL HELP
REVERSE PAST PATTERNS OF
SEGREGATION AND FOSTER MORE
INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES. UNDER SB
THIRTY FIVE A 100% AFFORDABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS ARE SUBJECT
ONLY TO PREVAILING WAGE
STANDARDS WHICH IS THE REASON
WHY EIGHTY PERCENT- SO MANY OF
THESE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
MOVE FORWARD USING SB THIRTY
FIVE. AND OVER 80% OF THAT WORK
HAS BEEN DONE BY UNION
CONTRACTORS. ON THE OTHER HAND
MAKES INCOME DEVELOPERS HAVE NOT
BEEN ABLE TO COMMIT TO THE
SKILLED AND TRAINED WORKFORCE
REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE IN SB
THIRTY FIVE. LARGELY DUE TO A
SHORTAGE OF RESIDENTIAL
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS THEY CAN
MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS. IN TURN
THIS IS PREVENTED WIDESPREAD
DEPLOYMENT OF FAST TRACKING
APPROVALS FOR MIXED INCOME
DEVELOPMENTS. BY UPDATING THE
BILL'S LANGUAGE TO REFLECT THE
STRONG HIGH ROAD LABOR STANDARDS
SIGNED INTO LAW LAST YEAR IN
APRIL AB TWENTY ONE TWENTY
ELEVEN- SB FOUR TWENTY THREE
WILL BE CODIFYING. SOME OF THE
STRONGEST ENFORCEABLE WEIGHT
REQUIREMENTS THE COUNTRY WITH MY
COLLEAGUES WILL ALSO TALK A
LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT- SB THIRTY
FIVE HAS GREAT POTENTIAL TO
ACCELERATE HOUSING PRODUCTION AT
ALL INCOME LEVELS PARTICULARLY
FOR LOWER INCOME CALIFORNIANS IN
THE PLACES LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
PLAN FOR HOUSING. BUT THE
LEGISLATURE NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION
TO EXTEND THESE PROVISIONS AND
STRENGTH IN THE LOT AND ASK
BEFORE TWENTY THREE IS CRITICAL
TO HELPING US CLOSE TREMENDOUS
ARE TRYING TO TREMENDOUS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING GAP. AND
ENSURE THE LOWER INCOME
CALIFORNIANS HAVE ACCESS TO SAFE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND ALL OF
THEIR COMMUNITIES AND FOR THESE
REASONS I URGE YOUR SUPPORT
TODAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS- I'M
HONORED TO BE HERE TODAY- MY
NAME IS JAY BRATCHER ON THE
SECOND BOX FOR THE NOR CAL
CARPENTERS UNION ALSO BRINGING
GREETINGS FROM P. RODRIGUEZ. MY
COUNTERPART OVERSEAS THE
SOUTHWEST MOUNTAIN STATES.
REGIONAL COUNCIL I'M
TREMENDOUSLY HONORED TODAY THE
STANDS. WITH THE STATEWIDE
LABOR'S UNION AND STATEWIDE
OPERATING ENGINEERS. WHEN YOU
PUT THE THREE ORGANIZATIONS
TOGETHER THAT'S MAJORITY OF
UNION CONSTRUCTION HANDS IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA WORKING IN
CONSTRUCTION. SO VERY HONORED.
TO BE HERE WITH THIS TREMENDOUS
COALITION OF LABOR. MAKE NO
MISTAKE THIS IS A PRO LABOR BILL
. IT'S ALSO A PRO WORKER BILL
WHEN THE WHO ARE NOT MEMBERS OF
UNIONS AS WELL- CURRENTLY RIGHT
NOW. WE LOOK AT IT- AS WAS
MENTIONED EARLIER 90% OF
RESIDENTIAL WORKERS ROUGHLY
THREE OR THIRTY THOUSAND ARE NOT
REPRESENTED BY UNIONS. YOU LOOK
A LITTLE DEEPER INTO THAT THE
SITUATION IS WORKERS ARE AT. IS
A CRIME SCENE IS WHAT WE CALL IT
AND WE MEAN THAT SUBJECTED TO IN
THE PRIVATE FIXED INCOME MARKET.
FOR A LOT OF PRESSURES ON THOSE
JOBS SUBJECTED TO CASH PAY THE
UNDERGROUND ECONOMY. ARE
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS OVER ALL
RIGHT NOW IN CALIFORNIA OVERALL
NEARLY HALF- A FAMILY MEMBER OR
THE WORK OF THEMSELVES ON PUBLIC
ASSISTANCE WHICH IS TENS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS LOST TO THE
STATE. REALLY SUBSIDIZING WATER
BREAKING CONTRACTORS. AND WHILE
WE DON'T EXPECT YOU TO NOR CAN
YOU ORGANIZE FOR US OR DO THE
JOB FOR US WHAT YOU CAN DO IS
GIVE US THE PLATFORM. TO GROW
AND WELCOME THOSE WORKERS INTO
THE ORGANIZATION. CURRENTLY
RIGHT NOW JUST TO KEEP UP WITH
PRODUCTION THAT'S ANTICIPATED
NOT ONLY DO WE NEED TO THREE
HUNDRED THOUSAND ON REPRESENTED
RESIDENTIAL WORKERS. BUT
ACCORDING TO CONSTRUCTION
ANALYTICS AND DODGE. IN THE NEXT
FOUR YEARS WE TO HUNT OTHER
HUNDRED THOUSAND WORKERS. RIGHT
IN RESIDENTIAL ALONE. SO IT'S
TIME FOR US TO PULL UP ALL
WORKERS A MAJORITY OF LATINO
WORKERS IN THE RESIDENTIAL
INDUSTRY THAT HAVE BEEN LEFT
OUT. HAPPY TO SAY THAT IT'S NOT
JUST THE CARPENTERS UNION BUT
THE LABORS THE OPERATORS AS WELL
NOT TO SPEAK FOR THEIR
ORGANIZATIONS BUT THE CULTURE OF
IT. IS TO GROW AND REACH OUT AND
PULL THOSE WORKERS UP AND PULL A
MAN. IT'LL BE A BENEFIT FOR OUR
CURRENT MEMBERSHIP BUT IT WILL
BE A HUGE BOOST TO BENEFIT THE
BUILDING HOUSING WHICH IS THE
NUMBER ONE ISSUE FOR THE WORKING
CLASS. IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA EVERY DAY OUR
MEMBERSHIP AS ANY CONSTRUCTION
UNIONS MEMBERSHIP IS SUBJECTED
TO TWO THREE HOUR COMMUTES AND
PUTTING TREMENDOUS PRESSURE. ON
WORKERS THROUGHOUT. THE LATEST.
IN FOUR TWENTY THREE. GIVE US
THE OPPORTUNITY TO ORGANIZE WE
CANNOT AFFORD EXCLUSION OR RULES
THAT BLOCK THOSE WORKERS COMING
IN. AUG WRAP UP RIGHT AFTER THIS
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT TREMENDOUS
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS FOR ALL
TRAITS BUT OVER TWENTY THREE
YEAR PERIOD ONLY A HUNDRED
THIRTY THOUSAND GRADUATES. IT
ACROSS ALL TRADES IT IS TIME FOR
US TO OPEN UP AND IF YOU GIVE US
THE PLATFORM TO DO IT TO ADDRESS
THE LACK OF HOUSING AND TO
ADDRESS THE CRIME SCENE THESE
WORKERS ARE WORKING IN. RIGHT WE
WILL DO THE JOB OF ORGANIZING WE
WILL TO PUT THE RESOURCES AND I
WOULD CHALLENGE ANY LABOR
ORGANIZATIONS REALLY SERIOUS
ABOUT HOUSING. AND THE WORKERS.
NOT TO ENGAGE IN EXCLUSION BUT
TO ENGAGE IN OPENNESS AND
PULLING UP AND PUT THE RESOURCES
AND THE STAFF INTO ORGANIZING.
THOSE WORKERS. SOURCE STRONG ASK
YOU TO SUPPORT. THIS BILL ASK
FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND THE STAND
WITH THAT LATINO WORK FORCE TO
STAND WITH THAT EXPLODED
WORKFORCE IN TO STAND WITH OUR

MOVE ON TO THOSE IN OPPOSITION I
WANT TO ASK ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO
TESTIFY IN OPPOSITION. AS A
LEADER OF OPPOSITION WITNESS TO
PLEASE COME FORWARD. WELCOME
MANAGER MEMBERS BEVERLY YOU WANT
TO HAVE THE STATE BUILDING
CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL
REPRESENT HAVE HALF A MILLION
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS STATEWIDE.
WE RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE SB FOUR
TO THREE- WE APPRECIATE THE
DIALOGUE WITH THE CHAIR
COMMITTEE AUTHOR AND REITERATE
OUR STRONG CONCERNS WITH THE
LABOR PROVISIONS ASKED WE HAVE
EXPRESSED TO YOU LAW AND ALSO IN
THE PREVIOUS COMMITTEE HEARING.
THE LANGUAGE IS LEGALLY
PROBLEMATIC HAS NOT EVEN GONE
INTO EFFECT YET THESE LABOR
PROVISIONS AND ALLOWS DEVELOPERS
TO UTILIZE AN UNENFORCEABLE
HEALTH CARE PROVISION THAT'S
LIKELY PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL PRE.
ARREST THE LAW. IS FATAL
PREEMPTION PROBLEM IS
HIGHLIGHTED IN THE TEXT OF THE
BILL AND IT'S SEVERABILITY
PROVISIONS- ALSO INCLUDES A
SUPER OFFICIAL APPRENTICESHIP
REQUIREMENTS- THAT'S REALLY
NOTHING MORE THAN JUST A
PAPERWORK EXERCISE. WE HAVE
WORKED DILIGENTLY TO CREATE A
NEW SET OF LABOR STANDARDS ARE
TAILORED TO THE RESIDENTIAL
SECTOR. AND WE BELIEVE THAT IN
GOOD FAITH- A STAR SO DRESS THE
ISSUES THAT FOLKS HAVE RAISED.
AND ALSO HELPS ACCOMPLISH OUR
SHARED GOALS- IT MOVES US
TOWARD- A PLACE WHERE WE CAN
OFFER TO WORK ON HOUSING POLICY
TOGETHER. OUR PROPOSED LANGUAGE
TAKES SB THIRTY FIVE PROVISIONS
THAT WORKS AND ADDS ADDITIONAL
BENEFITS TO CONTINUE GROWING
CALIFORNIA'S WORKFORCE. MANY OF
THE UNIONS ARE IN SUPPORT OF SB
FORTY THREE NOW THIS SOBRE FOR
THE DEPLOYMENT OF THIS NEW
APPROACH. OUR PROPOSED
RESIDENTIAL WORK FOR STANDARDS
MAKE SURE PREVAILING WAGE AND
ENFORCEMENT OF PRIVATE WORK
PROJECTS. THE LANGUAGE FOR THE
RESIDENTIAL SECTOR ELIMINATES
THE GRADUATE REQUIREMENT FOR
PRIVATE WORKS. LOWERS THE
GRADUAL APARTMENT FOR PUBLIC
WORKS ENSURES THAT THEIR
EXEMPTIONS FOR CERTAIN
OCCUPATIONS. UNDER THESE
PROPOSED STANDARDS ONLY HALF OF
THE WORKERS WOULD HAVE TO BE
EXPERIENCED OR ANY PERSONS. WE
EXPAND THE DEFINITION AND GROW
THE POOL OF JOURNEY PERSONS TO
INCLUDE THOSE WHO HAVE
EXPERIENCED AS LONG AS THEY ARE
CERTIFIED BY THE JOINT LABOR
MANAGEMENT APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAM. THIS ALLOWS FOR WORKERS
FIVE MAY NOT HAVE GRADUATED FROM
STATE APPROVED APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAM THE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED
TO BE ALLOWED TO HAVE THIS
DESIGNATION. MANY CONSTRUCTION
WORKERS ARE STATE UNFORTUNATELY
DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
GO THROUGH A STATE APPROVED
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM. BECAUSE
THERE WERE NO JOB SITES
AVAILABLE. UNLIKE THE EXISTING
APPRENTICESHIP REQUIREMENTS IN
SB FORTY THREE. ARE PROPOSED
LANGUAGE ACTUALLY REQUIRES
APPRENTICES ON JOB SITES WHICH
TURNS THE PRINTER SHIP PROGRAMS.
UNLESS THEY'RE UNAVAILABLE TO
WORK. STAY APPROVED UNION
PRESSURE PROGRAMS ARE THE
STATE'S CRITICAL PIPELINE TO
THESE ESSENTIAL JOBS.
APPRENTICES NEAR JOB SITE TO
LEARN WHILE THEY WORK SO THEY
CAN CARRY OUT THE PROGRAM WHICH
IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT
WE PROVIDE THEM WITH THIS
TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY. BUILDING
TRADE UNION MEMBERS AS WE KNOW
STICK WITH CONSTRUCTION LONG
TERM. INCREASE IN THEIR LIFETIME
EARNINGS AND BRING UP THEIR
COMMUNITIES AROUND THEM. THE
PROPOSED LANGUAGE PROVIDES
STRONG LEGALLY ENFORCEABLE LABOR
STANDARDS AND SUPPORTING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING GETTING
BUILT. TO BE SHORT SIGHTED TO
MISS THE OPPORTUNITY LIKE THIS
TO INVEST IN AND PROMOTE A
STRONG STABLE PIPELINE THAT'S
NEEDED TO INSURE HOUSING
PRODUCTION YET TODAY AND IN THE
FUTURE. WE ARE SO COMMITTEE TO
WORK WITH US MAKE SURE THAT
THESE LABOR PERFECT PROTECTIONS.
ARE GOING TO BE INCLUDED IN SB
FOUR TWO THREE MAKE SURE THAT
HE'S THE PERFECT PROTECTION
SKEWS ME ARE. THOUGHTFULLY
CRAFTED AND PROVIDE WORKERS-
BENEFITS IN THE LONG TERM. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. GOOD
AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
JASON RILEY CALIFORNIA CITIES-
I'M HERE TODAY AND OPPOSITION TO
SB FOUR TWENTY THREE- ONE OF OUR
BIGGEST CONCERNS IS THE
ELIMINATION OF THE SUNSET- WE
BELIEVE THAT YOU KNOW IT MOST WE
REALLY SHOULD EXTEND THAT
SUNSET. WE'VE GOT A FEW MORE
YEARS AND GET A GOOD HANDLE ON
WHETHER IT'S WORKING OR NOT
PARTICULARLY IF THIS MEASURE
PASSES THAN USUAL CHANGES. THAT
WILL OCCUR WE KNOW FROM THE
TURNERS REPORT TO WHAT ABOUT
EIGHTEEN THOUSAND UNITS HAVE
BEEN PROPOSED OVER THE LAST FIVE
YEARS WELL THAT IS IMPORTANT WE
NEED TO BUILD A HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY THOUSAND HOMES PER YEAR.
IN ORDER TO MEET THE DEMANDS FOR
HOUSING HERE SHE REPORTED TO THE
DEPARTMENT. ONE OF THE ISSUES I
HEAR MOST FROM OUR MEMBERS. WITH
WE'RE GOING SB THIRTY FIVE FOUR
TWENTY THREE. IS REALLY YOU KNOW
THE INTERSECTION WITH OUR
EXISTING HOUSING LAWS IT IS
REALLY IMPORTANT TO. TO TAKE A
STEP BACK AND THINK ABOUT OUR
HOUSING ELEMENT. IT'S A REALLY
IMPORTANT DOCUMENT THAT OUR
CITIES MUST COMPLETE EVERY EIGHT
YEARS IT'S A BLUEPRINT FOR
DEVELOPMENT. IN OUR COMMUNITIES
MANY OF ARE GOING THROUGH THAT
PROCESS RIGHT NOW. WE'RE HAVING
A HARD TIME. FOLLOWING THE NEW
LAWS WERE IT'S TAKING A LITTLE
LONGER THAN WE HOPED TO GET OUR
HOUSING ELEMENTS APPROVED
ADOPTED. THESE ELEMENTS ARE ARE
YOU KNOW GROUNDED IN WHAT IS OUR
NEED OF HOUSING THE COMMITTEES
THAT WE LIVE IN. HOW MANY HOMES
DO WE NEED TO SEE BUILT WE PLAN
FOR THAT. WE TAKE THAT NUMBER WE
COME UP WITH A PLAN FOR THAT
DEVELOPMENT WORKING WITH
BUILDERS OUR COMMUNITY. WE HAVE
LOTS OF PUBLIC INPUT TAKES A
COUPLE YEARS TO DO THIS. WE
DON'T GO FOR THE DEPARTMENT
HOUSING COMMITTEE IN
DEVELOPMENTS A PLEASE APPROVE
OUR PLAN. CERTIFIED THIS PLAN
FOR DEVELOPMENT. THE DEPARTMENT
THEN CERTIFIES IT. WITH ANY
OTHER STATE LAWS TO COME AROUND
AND SAY WELL THAT'S NOT GOOD
ENOUGH. YOU HAVE AN APPROVED
PLAN. IT'S NOT WORKING WE NEED
TO GO AHEAD AND TELL YOU TO DO
DEVELOPMENT A DIFFERENT WAY AND
OTHER AREAS OF COMMUNITY. ON
SITES WE NEVER CONSIDERED FOR
HOUSING THESE ARE NOT SITES
INCLUDING OUR OWN. SO REINFORCED
TO DEFY THE VERY PLAN THAT WE
HAVE TO GO CERTIFIED. WHICH WE
THINK IS A LITTLE BIT TOO MUCH.
THE LAST THING I'D LIKE TO ADD.
WELL NEW PROVISION OF SB FOUR
TWENTY THREE THAT WE OBJECT TO.
IS ALLOWING THE STATE DEPARTMENT
JOURNAL SERVICES. TO BUILD
HOUSING ON PROPERTY THEY OWN OR
LEASE. PUSHING ASIDE A CITY AND
NOT HAVING TO FOLLOWERS OWNING.
ARE BUILDING THE- STANDARDS ARE
OBJECTIVE STANDARDS DESIGNED TO
. THEY WOULD. ABLE TO DO WHAT.
THEY WANT TO PROPERTIES OWNER.
AGAIN YOUR A DEPARTMENT AGENDA
SERVICES. FOR WITH THE
DEPARTMENT. UNITS OVER.
POTENTIALLY TO. IN THE- PLAN.
THAT IS PART HOUSING A CERTIFIED

REASON IS BECAUSE- THIS IS
TAKING SO LONG FOR US TO GET
HERE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYBODY THAT. WANTED TO HAVE A
SAY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY HAVE A
SAY SO THAT CAN THAT CONCLUDES
OUR- TELECONFERENCE LINE I'M
GONNA BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE FOR COMMENTS-
QUESTIONS OF A SENATOR WIENER.
IN THE- MAKING PHONE. OKAY WOULD
YOU LIKE TO START CENTER DRAWS A
FIFTH. WELL FIRST THANK
EVERYBODY WHO- CAME IN SUPPORT
OF- ON THE ISSUE HOUSING AND
BUILDING MORE HOUSING- THAT'S A
REALLY BIG DEAL TO ME AND MY
DISTRICT- THE OVERWHELMING
MAJORITY PROBABLY CLOSE 280% HAS
A DISTRICT THAT HAS. THE HIGHEST
PERCENTAGE OF RENTERS IN THE
STATE- AND WRENCHES ARE GOING
THROUGH AN EXTRAORDINARY
HARDSHIP RIGHT NOW ON THE RENTS
ARE GOING UP SO HIGH THAT
THEY'RE GETTING. A EITHER HAVING
TO GO OVER CROWDED INTO ANOTHER
APARTMENT WITH ANOTHER FAMILY.
OR THEY'RE ENDING UP IN SHELTERS
AND ON THE STREET SO IT'S A REAL
CRISIS UP NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. IN
MY BELIEF IS THAT WE HAVE TO
HAVE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT.
APPROACHES TO IT IT'S NOT JUST
ONE THING YOU KNOW ITS- THE AD
USE THAT THE THERE WAS A SERIES
OF BILLS AROUND EIGHTY USE THERE
IS A SERIES OF BILLS AROUND
SHELTERS AND STREAMLINING AND BY
RIGHT- THERE'S JUST A NUMBER OF
DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE. THAT
ARE GOING ON TO ADDRESS THIS-
AND SO I FEEL VERY STRONGLY
ABOUT- ABOUT IT- LAST YEAR I
SUPPORTED- AB TWENTY ELEVEN
WHICH IS I THINK. ONE OF THE
EARLY VERSIONS OF. ONE OF THE
PROPOSALS TODAY A TO BUILD
HOUSING AND TO ORGANIZE WORKERS.
I BELIEVE IN THAT VERY MUCH SO
MYSELF. OF I THINK WITH REGARDS
TO AS BEFORE TWENTY THREE
UNFORTUNATELY. OF FOR SOME ON
AND OTHERS THERE'S A DIFFERENCE
OF OPINION ON THIS BUT THERE IS
A- A STANDARD THAT WAS A LABOR
STANDARD THAT WAS AGREED UPON.
AND IT'S BEING TAKEN OUT AND
CHANGED FOR A DIFFERENT
STANDARD- SO I'M NOT GONNA I'M
GONNA LAY OFF TODAY- BUT I'M
WILLING TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT
IT- GIVING THE ON GOING I HOPE
GOING ON GOING CONVERSATIONS. OF
AND HOPEFULLY BEFORE THE FLOOR
VOTE THANK YOU MANAGER. MMHM
SENATOR DOLLY. YES THANK YOU- SO
I'M NOT AS CONCERNED AS MUCH.
ABOUT THE LABOR FIGHT THAT'S
GOING ON BUT I'M MORE CONCERNED
ABOUT- WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH THE
LOCAL CONTROL. WITH THE
ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSES AND MANY
CITIES AND COUNTIES ARE
CONCERNED SO I DO I LIKE TO
NIGHT I PREPPED MY TELEVISION
ASK THIS QUESTION SO. HOPEFULLY
WE'LL GET A GREAT DANCER HERE
HER. PRESSURES ON I WILL DO MY
BEST CENTER DOLLARS- SO I WANTED
TO SUBJECT FOR THOUGHT. JUST AS
A- I KNOW YOU KNOW THIS BUT THIS
IS AN EXISTING HOUSING ALL RIGHT
IT'S NOT EVEN A- A NEW ONE. THIS
IS A IF WE PASSED IN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN- YOU KNOW I UNDERSTAND
RESPECTFULLY LEAGUE OF CITIES-
YOU KNOW THEY'VE FOR ALL THE
PLANNING THAT THEY'VE DONE THAT
MY OWN CITY EVERYTHING IS DONE
ON HOUSING ELEMENT. SB THIRTY
FIVE EXIST THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE
PROCESS IS NOT SPRING SOMETHING
NEW- ON THEM WE OUGHT ALSO
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT SB
THIRTY FIVE DOES NOT CHANGED
ZONING. WE'VE WE'VE DONE VARIOUS
LAWS THAT SUPPORTERS AND I
PROPOSE SOME OF THEM- THEY DO
CHANGE THEIR OWNING THIS DOES
NOT CHANGE OWNING. THIS DOES NOT
CHANGE HIGH DENSITY OR DESIGNER
SEVEN ANYTHING. ALL THIS BILL
DOES NOT UNDERSELLING COULD
SIGNIFICANT ALL THIS BILL DOES
IS TO SAY ONCE YOU HAVE SET THE
RULES. WHAT ONCE ONCE THE RULES
ARE THERE. YOU YOU YOU NEED TO
COMPLY WITH THOSE RULES. IF YOU
HAVE HIS OWN FOR. EX NUMBER OF
STORIES FOR THIS DENSITY GIVE
ADOPTED THESE OBJECTIVE DESIGN
STANDARDS THIS SEPT BOX.
ETCETERA ETCETERA ETCETERA THOSE
ARE THE RULES. THEN IF SOMEONE
COMES FORWARD AN ELIGIBLE CITY
THAT THAT IS BEHIND ON HOUSING
GOALS AND SAYS. I AM MEETING ALL
YOUR RULES I WANT TO BUILD UNDER
YOUR RULES. THEN YOU HAVE TO
GIVE THEM A PERMIT. IN MOST
PLACES THAT WOULD BE CALLED GOOD
GOVERNMENT. THAT WE HAVE
OBJECTIVE STANDARDS YOU KNOW
AHEAD OF TIME HERE THE RULES AND
YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU COMPLY WITH
THE RULES. THAT HAVE BEEN SET BY
THE GOVERNMENT. THEN YOU GET
YOUR PERMIT WE WOULD NORMALLY IN
ANY OTHER CONTEXT YOU'RE GOING
TO GET A NO PER OR PER OR
PERMITS- NO I DON'T OPEN A
BUSINESS. RIGHT IF YOU WANT YOUR
CITY IN YOUR CITY THAT WAY HERE
ARE THE SEVEN THINGS YOU HAVE TO
DO TO QUALIFY FOR A BUSINESS
PERMIT AND THE CITY AND YOU DID
ALL SEVEN. YOU WOULD EXPECT I'M
GONNA GET MY PERMIT NOW NOT IN
FIVE YEARS BUT NOW IF THE CITY
INSTEAD SAID TO YOU I KNOW WE
SAID. THAT THESE ARE THE SEVEN
THINGS YOU NEED TO DO TO GET
YOUR PERMIT. THANK YOU FOR DOING
THOSE SEVENTEEN SEVEN THINGS.
NOW YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH A
COMPLETELY POLITICIZED PROCESS
AND WILL DECIDE POLITICALLY IF
WE WANT YOUR BUSINESS TO OPEN
UP. REMOTE MOST OF US WOULD SAY
THAT'S NOT. GOOD GOVERNMENT THE
DOT TO DOT TO DOTS WITH THIS
ADDRESSES AND PREVENTS. ONE
HOUSING THE CITY STILL THEY
STILL GET TO DO. YOU KNOW ALL
THE PLANNING THAT THEY DO AND
THE ZONING AT CETERA- AND WE'RE
JUST ASKING THEM TO. GO TO
COMPLY WITH THAT ONE ONCE
THEY'VE DONE THAT AND SOMEONE
NEEDS ALL OF THE RULES. OF THAT
HAVE BEEN SET. SO THE SO AND-
LOCAL CONTROL AROUND ZONING.
BROWN IMPACT FEES DOESN'T CHANGE
ANYTHING THAT'S A- SEPARATE.
ISSUE THAT'S BEING DISCUSSED BUT
A LOT OF THESE LOCAL DECISIONS.
THEY THEY'RE- THEY'RE STILL TO
FALL IN PLACE. SO- IF SOMEBODY
HAS MET THEIR- ARENA GOALS. AND
THE THERE'S AN APPLICANT FOR
THIS IS THERE ANY PENALTY OR
EASIER IS THERE AN INCENTIVE-
TWO. IF YOU'RE BEHIND IS ARE
SENATE FOR THIS IF YOU'RE DOING
YOUR JOB THERE'S NO INCENTIVE.
TO THIS IS ONE ADVANTAGE OVER
THE OTHER WELL IF YOU IF YOU'RE
MEETING AROUND STILL DOESN'T
APPLY. SO IF YOU'RE MEETING
ARENA THE BILL DOESN'T APPLY- IF
YOU MEDIA. IF YOU'RE- IF YOU'RE
ANOTHER THEY'RE ACTUALLY ON ON
CERTAIN KEY INCOME CATEGORIES.
THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF CITIES
THAT DO MEET THE RENO GOALS- AND
SO IT BUT IF YOU'RE MEETING THEM
IN PARTICULAR INCOME CATEGORIES
THE BILL SIMPLY DOESN'T APPLY
FOR YOU TO YOU- AND IF IT DOES
APPLY TO YOU AND USE THEM TO GET
ON TRACK THE BILL STOPPED.
APPLYING THE LOG STOPS WHAT THE
STATUS IS THE SAME IT'S WORK.
THE TWENTY SEVENTEEN. SO RARE IN
IS A REGARDLESS OF- SO THESE ARE
LOW AND THE OTHER THE OF THESE-
WHAT WE CALL IT- NOT LOW INCOME
BUT BELOW MARKET RATE. NO FOR
AFFORDABLE FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING UNITS VERSUS- BOTH YEAH
IT SO UNDER RENO THERE ARE FOUR
INCOME CATEGORIES THERE IS WHAT
WE CALL ABOVE ABOVE MODERATE
WHICH IS WHAT WE RECALL MARKET
RATE. THERE THERE'S MODERATE LOW
INCOME AND VERY LOW INCOME- AND
IT'S JUDGE BY EACH OF THOSE
CATEGORIES OR IF YOU'RE MEETING
SOME BUT NOT OTHERS. THE LAW
WOULD ONLY APPLY IN THE
CATEGORIES WERE YOU'RE NOT BEING
AS WE TRY TO BE NEW ONES AND
THAT. AND NOT TO SAY A VERY FOR
MEETING MOST OF IT BUT NOT ALL
YOUR WHOLE CITY IS AND NOW WE
WANT TO DO A BY INCOME CATEGORY.
SAY OKAY YOU'RE DOING WELL IN
THIS AREA. BUT IN THIS AREA
YOU'RE NOT SO WE'RE GOING TO
HELP YOU- YOU KNOW AND I WILL
TELL YOU- SENATOR. HAVING THE
NETWORK FOR NUMBER YEARS I'VE
BEEN UP AND DOWN THE STATE. ALL
. ON OUR HOUSING WORK ON. THE
NUMBER TIMES A CITY. MEMBER HAS
COME UP TO ME AND SAID. I VOTED
TO OPPOSE YOUR BILL. SEVEN THE
ENEMY TO COME DOWN HERE. BUT I
BECAUSE I HAD TO BUT ACTUALLY
LIKE YOUR BILL. BECAUSE BECAUSE
WE- A CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE
PUT IN THIS POSITION EVERY WEEK.
AND YEAH. SO I GET THAT. STILL
HE TO BLAME SOMEBODY ELSE WE
DON'T WANNA MAKE A TOUGH
DECISION. WE HAVE ONE TODAY TO
MAKE. WHICH IS FINE- BUT IF I
MAY. MADAM CHAIR AT THE PERSON
THAT WAS IN OPPOSITION WITH THE
CITY'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK
THAT QUICK I WOULD LIKE TO SAY
SO YOU KNOW YOU JUST YOU SAID. I
LESSEN YOUR TESTIMONY NEW TARGET
BY MAY IS IT OKAY TO ASK A
QUESTION ABSOLUTELY PRETTY GET
THE LEG UP HERE BECAUSE WE HAD
WE HAD A LOT OF LABOR STUFF BUT
I THINK THE MEDIA THIS REALLY IS
MORE. ABOUT LOCAL CONTROL AND SO
YOU MET YOU SAID THAT TO YOU
KNOW OBVIOUSLY THIS BILL- SB
THIRTY FIVE DID HAVE A SUNSET
AND THIS IS GONNA TAKE THAT
SENSE AWAY BUT YOU WERE SAYING
YOU WERE CLOSE TO MEETING. YOUR
THE OBLIGATIONS YOU WERE SET
FORTH IN SO CAN YOU. CAN YOU
MAYBE JUST RE BUT A LITTLE BIT
OF WHY YOU'RE POSING AS BILL
WITH WHAT HE JUST SAID IF YOU.
YEAH I KNOW. J. FRIENDLY
CALIFORNIA CITIES. THE CENTER IS
LARGELY CORRECT RIGHT I MEAN I
THINK BUT MAYBE ISN'T MAKE THE
POINT CLEAR ENOUGH. AT THE ISSUE
THAT OUR WATER. SB THIRTY FIVE
ORIGINALLY. ONLY APPLIED IN
ZONES THE RESIDENTIALLY ZONED OR
MIXED USE. LAST YEAR IT WAS
AMENDED BY ANOTHER BILL. NOW
INCLUDES COMMERCIAL AND RETAIL.
SO IN THOSE ZONES ARE CITY OF
NEVER PLANNED FOR HOUSING IN
THOSE AREAS. BUT NOW YOU'RE
STUCK OF DOVER COME IN. USE SB
THIRTY FIVE STREAMLINING. AND
THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO BUILD.
RESIDENTIALLY IN A COMMERCIAL
AND RETAILS. SO AND I SAY THAT
BECAUSE- WE GO THROUGH ARENA WE
DO ALL THIS PLANNING FOR YOU
KNOW WATER HOUSING NEED IS. WE
COVER THAT ENTIRE NEED. AND IT'S
NOT ENOUGH WITH ENOUGH TO BUILD
IN OTHER LOCATIONS. WE DIDN'T
CONSIDER HOUSE. SO IT'S NOT IT'S
NOT. YOU KNOW I WOULD SAY THE-
VERSION YES CENTERS CORRECT.
THAT WAS IN MIXED USE AND
RESIDENTIAL ONLY. RESULT IN
THOSE AREAS. SO IT'S NOT
OUTLANDISH TO THINK THAT HOUSING
SHOULD BE IN THOSE AREAS. THIS
RESULTED AS AN ACCEPTABLE YOU
KNOW PERMITTED USE. RIGHT NOW I.
WELL I WANNA MAKE SURE AND
BECAUSE- SB THIRTY FIVE DOES NOT
ALLOW FOR IT DOES NOT. THIS LAW
DOES NOT REZONE DOES NOT CHANGE
COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL. SB
SIX AND AB TWENTY ELEVEN PASSED
LAST YEAR. THERE'S A SEPARATE
LAWS THAT REZONING AND
STREAMLINING BUT THOSE REZONING
LAWS DIFFERENT MOSTLY THIRTY
FIVE. I SUPPORT BOTH OF THEM-
DOES THE DOES TO ALLOW FOR
COMMERCIAL. CONVERSIONS SB
THIRTY FIVE. AND AS BEFORE
TWENTY THREE DO NOT. DO THAT AND
SO. WHEN I SEE IF THE CITY. IT
ONLY APPLIES IF THE CITY HAS.
ONLY IF THE CITY HAS JONES. THE
LAND FOR RESIDENTIAL AND FOR
HOUSING. THAT'S WHERE SB. THIRTY
FIVE. APPLIES AND SEMAPHORE TO
THREE FOUR TWENTY ZERO TO CHANGE
THAT. WITH ALL DUE RESPECT
THOUGH. IT THAT SECTION WAS
ADDED IN YES THIRTY FIVE. SO YOU
CAN USE THE BENEFIT OF THE
STREAMLINING. IF YOU'RE ALSO THE
CONSISTENT WITH THAT SB SIX.
YEAH IT'S A YEAH IT'S A TOTALLY
SEPARATE LAW THAT WOULD AN OFFER
THAT IS AND THAT IS THAT IS A IT
WAS A SEPARATE LAW AND WHAT DOES
A LAID BACK RIGHT BUT DOES IT
ALLOW. FOR TWENTY THREE TO GO IN
AND USE THE GOALS OF FOUR TWENTY
THREE AND- WHAT WAS SB SIX OR
WHATEVER SO WHAT AT WHAT S. B.
WHAT. SO SB THIRTY FIVE CREATED
A STRUCTURE FOR STREAMLINING.
DOESN'T CHANGE THIS- ANYBODY
CREATIVE STRUCTURE FOR
STREAMLINED SOMETIMES OTHER
LAWS. WILL CROSS REFERENCE THAT
BECAUSE BECAUSE THEN IF THEY
DON'T HAVE TO REMAKE THE WHEEL
REALLY. WE'RE GOING TO SB SIX
FOR EXAMPLE ALLOWED FOR REZONING
COMMERCIAL CONVERSION. AND FOR
STREAMLINED APPROVAL THAT WAS
GRANODIORITE SEX BUT I BELIEVE A
CROSS REFERENCE SB THIRTY FIVE
DISABLED THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
RECREATE THE WHEEL BUT YOU BUT
BASICALLY IMPORT THE SAME KIND
OUTSIDE DRIVEN ANYWAY BY SB
THIRTY FIVE. IT WAS A SEPARATE
POLICY DECISION AND IT IS
PERMISSIVE YEAH IT'S PERMISSIVE
IN THE CITIES. OKAY SB SIX THIS.
ART ARTERIES CERTAINLY WE WILL
DELIVER DIFFERENT BILL SHOULD BE
HAPPY TO SHARE THAT YOURSELF
OKAY MAKE A CLEAR SURE. I'M DONE
. THAT WILL GIVE ME THIS REALLY
ALL. SOUP WELL. RIGHT BUT THE
ABOUT A IS THAT SOME OF. I MEAN
I THINK I THINK BUT FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE. ON WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO IS TO SET UP A
FRAMEWORK WHERE IF YOU'RE NOT
DOING WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
DOING THEN THERE'S THESE- THEIR
WAYS TO BE ABLE TO EXPEDITE THE
PROCESS- AND THAT. THAT I MET
HIM I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR
SENATOR WIENER BUT- BUT IT BY
THE END IN. IN MY MIND. IT IT IT
ALLOWS THAT EX THAT EXPEDITING-
PROCESS. AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT THIS IS THIS IS GOVERNANCE
AND FINANCE WHICH IS WHY WE
FOCUS ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT. IS
THAT- WE ASK LOCAL GO GOVERNMENT
TO PLAN AND AS PART OF THE PLAN
THERE ARE WAYS FOR US TO BE ABLE
TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN QUICKER
QUICKER SO THAT IT'S NOT TAKING
AS LONG. NOT COSTING DEVELOPERS
AS MUCH AND GETTING THE UNITS
ACTUALLY BUILT ON THE GROUND. SO
IF I MAY JUST. AND WITH THE
COMMENT- TO LOOK I AM FROM LOCAL
GOVERNMENT I AM FOR I'VE DID
GENERAL PLANS AND THEY ARE HARD.
THEY'RE HARD TO DO BECAUSE
THEY'RE ALL KINDS OF. OF
STAKEHOLDERS QUITE FRANKLY AND-
AND I REMEMBER WHEN I CAME TO
THE LEGISLATURE WAS SO HAPPY I
WAS NOT GOING TO SEE ANOTHER
SUBDIVISION MAP OUT FOR A WHILE
. AND I THINK MOST OF US WHO
BEEN IN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN
AGREE THAT IT THEY ARE TOUGH
DECISIONS TO MAKE AND THERE
THERE'S A LOT OF. BUT I AM NOT
AND I FOCUS ON IS LAW LABOR.
ISSUES HERE THAT. ARE JUST THAT
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY LOCAL
CONTROL AND- PLANNING FOR YOUR
COMMUNITY IS SOMETHING THAT WE
ARE. WE SHOULD LEAD TO THE
LOCALS I BELIEVE THAT I THINK
THAT'S THE BEST PLACE FOR- I'M
GONNA SUPPORT YOUR BILL TODAY-
I'M RESERVE MY RIGHT TO A FIGHT
FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT-
IF IT DOES. WITH OTHER LAWS-
AFFECTED BECAUSE IF WE COMMUNITY
HAS DOES HAVE DONE THEIR GENERAL
PLAN A CITY OR COUNTY. AND SAID
THIS IS WHERE WE WANT
DEVELOPMENT TO GO THEN WE
ARTICLE BUILDER. AND I AND I
DON'T WANT TO SEE THOSE GET HELD
UP IN. POLITICS AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL AND FUTURE THE LOCAL LEVEL
BECAUSE- YOU'VE DONE YOUR
GENERAL PLAN AND YOU SAID THIS
IS WHERE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GO.
SO I THINK THAT THERE IT IT IT
DOES HAPPEN TO THE LOCAL LEVEL
EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE A GENERAL
PLAN YOU STILL HAVE. WHATEVER
FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU HAVE THE
SQUABBLE SO I'M TO SUPPORT YOUR
BILL TODAY- BUT I WILL RESERVE
MY RIGHT AND I'M- I. WAS MEETING
A LOT OF YOUR BILL AND- AND I
WILL SAY THIS. THIS YEAR I'VE
WORKED MORE ON CENTER WINNERS
BILLS THAT I HAVE MY OWN. AND
UNFORTUNATELY- IT'S TRUE HI I
CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY OF I
DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE JUST ALL
COMING TO MY COMMITTEES. BUT AND
THEY'RE COMPLICATED. I THINK
THEY'RE WE HAVE ROOM TO DO SOME
GOOD THINGS IN THE STATE BUT
THAT'S RIGHT I JUST WANNA MAKE
THE STATE WILL HAVE A LOT OF. I
HAVE SOME OF MY CITIES AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS THAT. RELY ON ME TO.
TOO BECAUSE I CAN ALL OF THEM TO
STAND UP FOR THEM BUT- I'LL
RESERVE MY RIGHT TO VOTE AGAINST
ON THE FORCE THANK YOU THANK. TO
SEE- TO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
AND- SO. MY PERSPECTIVE IS A
LITTLE BIT THE SAME AS IS MY
COLLEAGUE OVER HERE BECAUSE I
CAME FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENT. AND
I HAPPEN TO BE A PART OF A LOCAL
GOVERNMENT WERE IN CITIES THAT
ARE FAST GROWING CITIES. BACK IN
THE EARLY TWO THOUSANDS IN THE
LATE NINETEEN NINETIES. AND AND
I HAVE A BUNCH OF THOSE CITIES
IN MY DISTRICT- AND I'VE SEEN
THE STRUGGLES. THE REAL LIFE
STRUGGLES THE REASONS BEHIND WHY
IT TAKES SO LONG TO BUILD- ONE
OF THEM WAS- WAS THIS. LITTLE
GAUNTLET THAT WE CALL SYKORA.
AND- YOU KNOW IT AND YOU KNOW
THAT THAT'S AN ISSUE BECAUSE
JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT WE
PASSED NOW THAT'S TRYING TO
STREAMLINE ANYTHING. HAS A
SEQUEL EXEMPTION IN IT AND WE
HAVE NOT YET TO ADDRESS THE
ISSUES THE SEQUEL. AND SOME OF
THE REDUNDANCY AND SOME OF THE
SOME OF THE UNNECESSARY-
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES IT CAN
TAKE AS LONG AS TWO OR THREE
YEARS DEPENDING UPON WHEN THE
BIRDS NEST. AND THINGS LIKE THAT
AND THOSE ARE THINGS THAT HOLD
UP THE PROCESS AND THEN HOLDING
UP THE PROCESS IS WHAT MAKES.
FOR SOME INTERESTING-
ESCALATIONS IN COSTS FOR
BUILDERS. OF CITIES WERE
BUILDING FAST AND FURIOUS RIGHT
THROUGH THE TWO THOUSANDS UNTIL
ABOUT TWO THOUSAND EIGHT AND AS
YOU ALL KNOW WE HIT THE WALL.
AND EVERYTHING STOPPED. WE DON'T
HAVE ANYMORE BUILDING UNTIL TWO
THOUSAND FIFTEEN SIXTEEN AND
THEN PEOPLE STARTED DRAGGING IN
SOME SOME PERMITS AND THEN IN
TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN IS WHEN-
THIS BILL- SB THIRTY FIVE CAME
THROUGH- CENTER WE I DO HAVE A
QUESTION FOR YOU. WHEN YOU WERE
ADDITIONALLY DOING THIS IN TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN WHAT WAS THE
VISION FOR SB THIRTY FIVE AS FAR
AS- PRODUCING HOUSING UNITS HOW
MANY HOUSING UNITS AND THEY
THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE
ACCOMPLISHED. BY THIS METHOD
WELL- SO WHAT WE I LOOK AT IT
BIGGER THAN THAT. THAT WE THINK
WE PROBABLY SHOULD BE PRODUCING
ABOUT A 1-008-000-0200 THOUSAND
HOMES PER YEAR WE WERE DOWN. IN
THE SEVENTY EIGHTY RANGE WE SORT
OF PICKED UP TOWARDS A HUNDRED.
SET BACK A LITTLE BIT- BUT WE
NEED TO BASICALLY DOUBLE IT. AND
SO WE THAT THAT'S WHAT WE NEED
TO GO AND THERE'S NO ONE LAW
THAT'S GOING TO GET US THERE. WE
KNOW THAT SB THIRTY FIVE IT
STARTED LIKE A LOT OF HOUSING
LAWS STARTS REALLY SLOW
EVERYONE'S TRYING TO FIGURE IT
OUT YOU START ONE OH MY GOD I'M
GONNA USE US. AND THEN THE LAST
FEW YEARS SB THIRTY VOTE HAS TO
RELY ON A BELOW MARKET RETURNS
REALLY. ACCELERATED EIGHTY USE
IT TOOK US A NUMBER OF YEARS TO
GET THAT RIGHT TO CLOSE
LOOPHOLES EIGHTY USER LIKE GOING
LIKE GANGBUSTERS IN CALIFORNIA.
SB. NINE HAS STARTED SLOW BUT
IT'S TO RT TO PICK UP I JUST SB
SIX AND- ELEVEN ARE GOING.
POLICY A LITTLE SLOW AND THEN
PICK UP THE WORK. SB THREE
THIRTY BY. CENTER SKINNER HAS
BEEN EXTREMELY USEFUL SO I THINK
IN COMBINATION- THEY- MOVE
TOWARD SOLVING THE PROBLEM- WE
KNOW THAT NEARLY TWENTY THOUSAND
HOMES- HAVE BEEN- EITHER BUILT
OR ON. ON TRACK TO BE BUILT
UNDER SB THIRTY FIVE AND THERE
ARE A BUNCH MORE. IN THE
PIPELINE- RIGHT NOW SO I'M NOT
GOING YOUR SUGGESTED SB THIRTY
FIVE IMPORTANT THEY'RE ON THEIR
OWN ARE GOING TO SOLVE THIS.
THEY'RE GONNA BE ONE PIECE OF
THE PUZZLE- TO. TO DO AND THE
AND THE DIVISION WAS- I KEEP IN
MIND THIS HAPPENED AFTER RIGHT
BEFORE I GOT HERE WAS WHEN.
GOVERNOR BROWN PROPOSED AND-
REALLY BROUGHT STREAMLINING LAW
IN THE SUMMER OF TWENTY SIXTEEN-
BUDGET TRAILER BILL- AND THERE
ARE A LOT OF OPPOSITION TO IT.
AND SO WE LOOKED AT ALL THE
OPPOSITION LETTERS. TO THAT
TRAILER BILL AND TRIED TO. TAKE
THE CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK AND
PUT THIS TOGETHER BUT ULTIMATELY
THE GOAL WAS TO SAVE. IT IF
CITIES ARE NOT MEETING THEIR
HOUSING GOALS. LET'S HOPE THEM
IF THEY'RE HOUSING GOALS BY
ACCELERATING THE PROCESS NOT
CHANGED THEIR LOCAL PLANNING. TO
IMPLEMENT THE LOCAL PLANNING. IN
A FASTER WAY. OKAY SO YOU CAN
THE REAL SINCE THEN IT BEEN A
THOUSAND UNITS OR SO. AND
GROWING WHICH YEAH AND IT'S
MAYBE IT'S GROWING NOW BECAUSE
WE FINALLY HAD SOME MOMENTUM
HOPEFULLY IT WON'T BE TAKEN AWAY
AGAIN- BUT YOU KNOW IT'S THREE
THOUSAND UNITS OF THE- WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT HUNDRED EIGHT
FIFTY THOUSAND WE NEED A YEAR.
SO THREE THOUSAND UNITS AND- AND
SO. I WOULDN'T I WOULD SAY YES
IT HAS TO BE A IT'S A VERY SMALL
PIECE OF WHAT WE HAVE DROPPED ON
TO OUR LOCAL AGENCIES. AS FAR AS
SOMETHING TO COMPLY WITH. WE
HAVE A WHOLE SLEW OF OTHER STUFF
A CONFUSING ARRAY OF THINGS FOR
EVERYBODY TO COMPLY WITH. I AND
SO THOSE THE YOU KNOW THOSE
THOSE- ONE OF SOME OF MORE OF
THE THINGS THAT THE LOCAL
AGENCIES AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE
HEARING FROM THEM. THAT'S WHY
YOU HEARD A BUNCH OF OUR LOCAL
AGENCIES ACTUALLY TOOK THE TIME
TODAY AT FOUR THIRTY FIVE
O'CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON. TO
CALL IN AND SAY THEY'RE OPPOSED
TO THIS. YOU'RE TAKING AWAY
LOCAL CONTROL BASED ON THEIR
INABILITY TO PRODUCE RINA
NUMBERS AND RENEWED. FOR THE
DECADE THAT THERE WAS NO
BUILDING GOING ON. BECAUSE OF A
RECESSION. AND BY THE TIME THEY
GOT OUT OF THAT. WOULD PEOPLE
ARE JUST GOING THROUGH THE
PROCESS THERE WERE NO UNITS ON
THE GROUND TO COUNT TOWARDS
ANYBODY'S ARENA NUMBERS. THE
ONLY PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN
SUCCESSFUL IN RENO NUMBERS IS
CITIES LIKE DOWNEY WHO HAD READ
THE NUMBERS OF LIKE EIGHTY. YES
YOU CAN YOU CAN ADD AN EIGHTY
UNIT APARTMENT BUILDING INTO THE
CITY OF DOWNEY. THEIR SUCCESS IS
BEING TRUMPETED BY EIGHT CD LOOK
THEY THEY DID THEIR READ NUMBERS
BUT WE HAVE OTHER CITIES THAT
HAVE GREEN AND NUMBERS OF. FOR
FIVE THOUSAND. AND DATE IT'S
DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO GET THERE
ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY KEEP
TURNING IN. THEIR THEIR THEIR-
IN NEW UPDATED PLAN THAT THEY
JUST DID BEFORE THIS STARTED.
THE UPDATED HOUSING PLAN. DOES
HOUSING PLANS DON'T DON'T JUST
GET DONE WITH THE FLIP OF A
SWITCH. THOSE THINGS TAKE YEARS
TO DO SOMETIMES. AND SO SAME
THING WITH THE GENERAL PLAN. IS
A TAKE YEARS YEARS TO PUT
TOGETHER AND GO THROUGH THE
PROCESS SO THAT YOU CAN BUILD A
GENERAL PLAN BECAUSE EVERYTHING
ELSE THE BALANCE BECAUSE OF
THAT. THE SEQUEL THAT WAS
SHOWING A LITTLE BIT EARLIER
AGO. BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO COMPLY
WITH THAT TOO WHEN THEY DO THE
GENERAL PLAN. SO WE'VE HAD THIS
WHOLE DECADE WHERE WE'VE HAD
LIMITED GROWTH. AND WE'RE BASING
ALL OF THE- INCENTIVES. OR
TAKING AWAY LOCAL CONTROL BASED
ON THE PREMISE THAT CITIES HAVE
BEEN UNABLE TO OUR CITIES WERE
UNWILLING. TO BUILD THE UNDER
APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF UNITS. AND
GUESS WHAT THEY'VE BEEN TRYIN.
BUT WITH THEY HAVE A SLEW OF
LAWS THAT THEY HAVE TO CONTEND
WITH AND WHEN SOMEBODY BRINGS
IN. A PROJECT FOR THEM TO GO
THROUGH YES THERE'S A- HUGE
NUMBER OF BOXES TO CHECK AND A
LOT OF THOSE CHECK BOXES ARE ARE
COMPLIANCES. WITH THE STATE
MANDATES THAT WE KEEP SENDING
DOWN THERE. AND WITH THOSE STATE
MANDATES TAKES TIME. WHEN YOU
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE LIKE
EVERYBODY'S HAVING A LABOR
SHORTAGE. THEN YEARS YOU'RE
SUBMITTING YOUR EIGHT CD NUMBERS
ARE NOT YOU'RE SUBMITTING YOUR
YOUR UPDATED HOUSING PLANS TO
EIGHT C. D. N. A. C. D. IT'S
TAKING FOREVER. NOT BAD NOT
BECAUSE THEY JUST TAKE FOREVER
IT'S BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT TWO
HUNDRED CITIES TRYING TO GET
THEIR NUMBERS UP TO DATE BEFORE
THEY GET. PUNISHED AND PUSH DOWN
TO FIVE YEARS INSTEAD OF EIGHT
YEARS FOR A NEW EIGHT CD PLAN
OUR NEW HOUSING PLAN IT'S GOING
TO COST THEM. ANOTHER MILLION OR
TWO DOLLARS TO DO. SO WE HAVE
PUT THIS QUAGMIRE OF HOUSING
POLICIES TOGETHER ALL BASED ON
WE CAN'T BUILD ENOUGH HOUSES ALL
BASED ON THE REALITY. THAT WE'VE
CREATED A MASS STARTING THIRTY
YEARS AGO. AND THAT'S WHEN WE
STOPPED THE HOUSING MOMENTUM AND
NOW WE'RE PAYING FOR AND NOW
WE'RE TRYING TO BLAME CITIES AND
MAKE THEM PAY FOR AND TAKE AWAY
THEIR CONTROL AND- FOR CITIES TO
ACCEPT. WHAT I WHAT I WHAT I
HAVE SEEN NOW. WHENEVER AND
WHENEVER AND WE HAVEN'T HAD THIS
ISN'T A BY RIGHT ONE BUT THE
OTHER ONES ARE BY RIGHTS. AND
WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE BY RIGHTS.
THIS CITIES LOSE ANY LEVERAGE
THEY HAVE. TO ENSURE THAT A
DEVELOPMENT HAS STANDARDS WITH
IT SO THAT WHEN PEOPLE ACTUALLY
MOVE INTO THE AFFORDABLE HOMES.
THEY'RE NOT STIGMATIZED BY WHERE
THEY LIVE BECAUSE SOME OF THESE
PROJECTS ARE HIDEOUS. AND THEN
WHEN THEY'RE THAT HIDEOUS THAT'S
WHAT CITIES ARE FOR TO MAKE SURE
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN. WE'VE BEEN
ABLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN A
LIMITED AMOUNT OF THOSE IN THE
CITY THAT I WAS IN. AND TO
DIDN'T TO THIS DAY NOBODY KNOWS
THAT THEY'RE AFFORDABLE HOMES
BUT I'VE SEEN SOME PLANS IN MY
DISTRICT. THAT HAVE BEEN
SUBMITTED AND HAVING DEVELOPER
SAY HEY DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS
OTHERWISE. YOU KNOW WE'RE GONNA
GO TO COURT AND THEN YOU'RE
GONNA GET FINED. YOU KNOW OUR
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY OR
WHATEVER IT IS. AND SO THEY HAVE
TO TAKE THAT. AND YOU KNOW WHAT
THEIR HIDEOUS YOU WOULDN'T I
KNOW YOU WERE YOU WERE TACK AND
WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THIS IN
HOUSE AT OUR CONVERSATION YOU
SAID. YOU SAID OVER WHERE YOU
LIVE YEAH YOU'RE BUILDING ISN'T
IT IS IT'S AN URBAN AREA. WE'RE
TALKING TO SUBURBAN AREAS. THESE
NEWER CITIES THEY WERE MASTER
PLANNED. AND THEY'RE TAKING INTO
ACCOUNT ALL OF THE THINGS THAT
PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT CITIES NEED
TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT. ACCORDING
TO THE STATE AND THEN WHEN THEY
DID THAT NOW WE WANT THEM TO
CHANGE MIDSTREAM AND DO IT NOW
EVEN THOUGH WE HAD TEN YEARS OF
NO BUILDING GOING ON. SO THAT'S
THAT'S MY ISSUE WITH ALL OF
THESE ALL OF OUR HOUSING THINGS
THAT WAY YOU WON'T HAVE TO
LISTEN TO IT AGAIN- BECAUSE WE
HAVE CREATED THE QUAGMIRE. NOW
WE'RE TRYING TO FIX IT. ON THE
BACKS OF CITIES AND CITIZENS.
AND ALSO THE PEOPLE THAT WERE
SUPPOSEDLY TRYING TO HELP. WHEN
WE BUILD SUB STANDARD-
DEVELOPMENTS FOR THEM TO LIVE IN
. SO CENTER WIENER YOU YOU CAN
YOU CAN. COME UP WITH THAT YET
THEN ANSWER OR IT JUST OCCURS TO
ME THAT. WE PROBABLY SHOULD.
TAKES CENTER SIERRA FOR A BEER
SENTIMENTS AND HAVE THIS
CONVERSATION. YOU KNOW WITH THAT
WITH WITH SOMETHING LIKE. YOU
KNOW HOW. AS A BIGGER. CENTER IF
THEY ARE ON IOS YOU HAVE WE HAVE
VERY GOOD CONVERSATION WITHOUT
WE DON'T ALWAYS AGREE- BUT WE
HAVE A- GOOD CONVERSATION SO A
COUPLE THINGS THAT. AS WE
DISCUSSED IN HOUSING THE OTHER
DAY I. WILL SAN FRANCISCO HAS AN
AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS. I
DON'T LIVE IN ONE OF THE
AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL GOING I LIVE
IN. RATHER PRETTY- AVERAGE. AT
BEST- DESIGN- BUILDING BUT I'M
GLAD THAT I HAVE A HOME THERE.
BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO
AFFORD A HOME- TODAY AND SO
THIRTY NINE UNITS THAT WERE
BUILT IN THE CASTRO IN NINETEEN
SIXTY FIVE- THAT RUSSIA WOULD
NOT BE ALLOWED TO BE BUILT TODAY
SO I'M GLAD THAT IT'S THERE FOR
ME- AND CITIES OF COURT- SB
THIRTY FIVE DOES NOT TAKE AWAY
CITIES ABILITY TO HAVE OBJECTIVE
DESIGN STANDARDS OF PEOPLE
REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH. ITS OWN
SUBJECTIVE NOT SOME SORT OF
CHAOTIC WHATEVER SOMEONE
RANDOMLY THINGS AT THE MOMENT
YOUR PROJECTED DESIGN CENTERS.
THIS BILL DOES NOT ANYWAY
OVERRIDE THAT THEY ARE
ENFORCEABLE AND APPLICABLE- IN
TERMS OF THE RECESSION IMPURE
RIGHT CONSTRUCTION THE
CONSTRUCTION. INDUSTRY SORT OF.
TOPPLED DURING THE GREAT
RECESSION SB THIRTY FIVE IS
THROUGH FOUR YEAR CYCLES. SO
WERE WE SB THIRTY OF CURRENTLY
DOES NOT APPLY TO THE RECESSION
PERIOD THAT WAS LONG THAT WAS
LONG BEFORE SB THIRTY FIVE EVEN
ENACTED. AND GOING FORWARD IT
CERTAINLY- DOES NOT. ON TERMS OF
BURDEN ON ON LOCAL COMMUNITIES
WHAT WHAT WAS IT A BIGGER BURDEN
ON LOCAL COMMUNITY IS HAVING TO
DO A LOT OF YARS UNDERSEA KALRA.
THAT'S A HUGE BURDEN ON LOCAL
PINE APPARENT SB THIRTY FIVE
RELIEVES THEM. OF THAT. AND THEN
FINALLY AS SOON AS A USER WE
CREATED A I AGREE WE CREATED
THAT BUT I WOULD SAY WE AND THE
BROAD SENSE. THE ENTIRE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA CITIES STATE.
EVERYONE WE'RE ALL IN IT
TOGETHER. AND WE ALL NEED TO GET
OUT OF IT TOGETHER BUT I DO.
APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR COMMENTS
UNDER. AS SKINNER. THANK YOU I.
MATTER CHAIR AND- THE SENATOR.
WIENER FOR. BRINGING AS ALWAYS-
BILLS THAT YOU KNOW REQUIRE US
TO. DO THINK GARDEN AND THERE'S
A LOT OF- YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY IN
HOUSING ARENA BECAUSE WE'RE IN A
TERRIBLE CRISIS AND WE KNOW WHO
YOU KNOW WE'VE MET THE ENEMY AND
IT'S US. AND ALL OF THE US IS A
COLLECTIVE US WHETHER IT'S LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS- YOU KNOW STATE
GOVERNMENT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT FROM WHACKING AWAY-
THERE'S NOT THE LEVEL OF
FUNDING. FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
THAT THERE WAS- FOUR YEARS AGO
AND HOUSING WE'VE NOT SEEN REAL
INCREASES AND ALL OF THAT TIME
AND WHEN I SAY US THE STATE
GOVERNMENT. WHILE REDEVELOPMENT
WAS NOT USED APPROPRIATELY IN
MANY CONTEXTS IT WAS THE SOURCE
FOR FINDING A HOUSING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING SO AND YET WE ELIMINATED
IT- THOUGH THE I WILL SAY IT'S
THE CITIES THAT- METHODIST IN
THE POSITION OF NOT BEING ABLE
TO. RE CONSTRUCTED IN A WAY THAT
COULD HAVE BEEN USED IN THE MOST
OPTIMAL WAY BECAUSE OF THEIR AT
THE BEYOND LAWSUIT IN ABOUT
MEASURE BUT ANYWAY BUT THAT. WE
NEED TO GO THROUGH ALL THAT
HISTORY WE JUST KNOW THAT. IN
THE LAST- PERIOD OF TIME AND
STAY SAFE. SIX TO EIGHT YEARS.
AS A STATE WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO
CORRECT. AND. AND ENACT POLICIES
THAT MOVE US TO BETTER HOUSING.
SO THIS IS AN IMPORTANT POLICY
AND I SUPPORTED S. B. YOUR
ORIGINAL MEASURE. I'M VERY
STRONGLY. AND I FEARED THAT IT
WOULD NOT NECESSARILY REACH ALL
THE PROMISE. BECAUSE YOU.
SOMETIMES SOME OF THE CONDITIONS
THAT WE PUT ON IT CAN HAMPER.
BECAUSE THE COST AND COSTS
UNFORTUNATELY HAVE GONE UP EVEN
FURTHER. HI WITH LOTS OF OTHER
THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF OUR
CONTROL- I RESPECT OR TRADES. I
WANT ALWAYS THE HIGHEST QUALITY
LABOR PERFORMING JOBS BUT I ALSO
KNOW. THAT OUR LABOR UNIONS THAT
ARE HERE SUPPORTING THE BILL OUR
HIGH QUALITY LABOR UNIONS IN
PERFORM GOOD WORK AND SO WERE IN
THIS CIRCUMSTANCE NOW OF WHERE
SOME OF OUR TRADES ARE FEELING
LIKE. YOU HAVE RENEGED ON A-
PROMISE TO THEM ANOTHER OF OUR
TRADES ARE SEEING THAT WE
HAVEN'T ACHIEVED THE REAL
PROMISE THAT THE ORIGINAL BILL
COULD HAVE DELIVERED FOR US. I'M
JUST SO YOU KNOW HOW DO WE HOW
DO WE RECONCILE THAT. AND I
THINK THAT YOU I'VE ALWAYS
EXPERIENCED YOU AS BEING WILLING
TO CONTINUE THE DIALOGUE TO SEE
WHETHER THERE'S- A PLACE WE CAN
GET TO THAT WOULD BRING MORE OF
OUR GOOD LABOR BROTHERS AND
SISTERS TOGETHER ARE GOOD TRADE
BROTHERS AND SISTERS. BUT I'M
WILLING TO SUPPORT YOUR BILL
BECAUSE I THINK THAT THIS
HOUSING IS SO IMPORTANT. AND NEW
. WHEN Y. WHEN I LOOK AT POLLS
IN CALIFORNIA AND WHEN I TALK TO
MY CONSTITUENTS. HOUSING IS THE
FIRST AND FOREMOST THING ON
THEIR MIND. NOT JUST THE
SHORTAGE OF IT BUT THE FACT THAT
WE HAVE ON HOUSE PEOPLE. AND
THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT. AND WHEN I
LOOK AT ALL THAT WE'VE DONE. IT
IS STILL BECAUSE IT'S TORN
AFFORDABLE I MEAN I MYSELF AND-
BOUGHT THE BUILDING IN A TO YOU
RIGHT NOW AND BACKYARD. FOR MY
DAUGHTER'S FAMILY BECAUSE THEY
CANNOT AFFORD HOUSING IN MY
AREA. AND BY YOUR- AND THE COSTS
EVEN WITH THE STREAMLINING THAT
THE STATE IS DONE FOR EIGHTY
USE. THE VARIOUS UTILITIES AND-
IT DID YOUR SISTER ZILLION OTHER
THINGS THAT NOW ARE BEING ADDED
ON TO MY REGIONAL BID. TO THE
POINT WHERE IT'S- YOU KNOW IN
THE NEXT WEEK OR SO I'M GONNA
HAVE TO LOOK AT WHETHER I CAN
REALLY DO IT. BECAUSE- SO WE-
THERE'S A LOT TO WORK WE HAVE TO
DO. BUT I KNOW THAT YOU WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH OUR GOOD
LABOR BROTHERS AND SISTERS. AND
I AM HAPPY TO SUPPORT YOUR BILL
TODAY. FIFTY CENT- CENTER DOLLY
. I'M GONNA MOVE THE BILL THAT'S
OKAY TWENTY. AND I WANNA MAKE A
COMMENT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S
VERY IMPORTANT. BECAUSE I THINK-
SINNERS JARKKO MADE SOME SOME
GOOD COMMENTS BUT I WOULD SAY
SOME CITIES DON'T BUILD HOMES.
THE OF THE GOVERNOR AND- AND-
IT'S ASSEMBLY MEMBER CHOOSE TO
DO BILLS WE'RE GONNA SUE THE
CITY BECAUSE I DON'T BUILT.
DEVELOPERS BUILD HOMES. LET'S BE
CLEAR DEVELOPERS WILL HOME AND
WHEN INTEREST RATES GO UP AND
LUMBER GOES UP AND ALL THE
INPUTS GO UP AND THEY CAN'T
AFFORD TO MAKE MONEY ON THEIR
DEVELOPMENTS. THEY WILL BUILD
HOMES. AND SO. THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE WE
MISSED AND ALL THIS WEEK WE TALK
ABOUT LABOR WE TALK ABOUT CITIES
BUT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THE
FACT. THAT THE REAL DRIVING
FORCE BEHIND IS THE COST. AND
THE COST GOES UP WITH ALL KINDS
OF ENVIRONMENTAL RULES. ALL
KINDS OF OTHER THINGS DRIVE IT
UP AND IN THE DAY FOR DEVELOPERS
AND CAN'T MAKE A PROFIT YOU
WON'T BUILD A HOME. NO MATTER
WHAT THE CITY DOES NO MATTER
WHAT THE UNIONS DO NOBODY BUT
THIS SO I JUST WANNA MAKE THAT
COMMENT BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING
THAT GETS LOST IN THE PROCESS
HERE. ALL THE TIME. AND WOOD E.
AS WE ALL KNOW INTEREST RATES
FROM 3% 3% TO SEVEN. BLOWS A
DEVELOPMENT OUT OF THE WATER
OVER A THIRTY YEAR LOAN PROCESS
SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT
POINT IN THE IN THE MOVE BECAUSE
IT IS IMPORTANT. THAT'S PROBABLY
A GOOD PLACE FOR ME TO START
BECAUSE THAT I THINK EVERYBODY'S
HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY A FEW
WORDS LET ME JUST SAY THAT-
CENTER WIENER I AGREE WITH
WHAT'S BEEN SAID YOU YOU DO YOU
CHALLENGE US ALL- YOU YOU LOOK
VERY HARD AT TRYING TO SOLVE
PROBLEMS AND- AND I REALLY
APPRECIATE IT- TIME IS MONEY.
AND THE MORE THAT A PROJECT GETS
DELAYED. WHEREVER IT IS WHETHER
IT'S AT LOCAL GOVERNMENT OR YOU
KNOW AT A CITY COUNCIL MEETING
OR WHAT PUTTING. MORE MORE
OBSERVATIONS ON IT. I'M DOING
MORE ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMENTAL
WORK ON TOP OF ENVIRONMENTAL
WORK- THAT THAT COSTS MONEY. AND
THEY DON'T PROJECTS DON'T PENCIL
OUT. AND SO. ON I APPRECIATE I
APPRECIATED SB THIRTY FIVE
BECAUSE IT CREATED AN
OPPORTUNITY. TO START MOVING
PROJECTS- AND I THINK THAT'S WHY
YOU SAW. SB THIRTY FIVE
REFLECTED IN BOTH SB SIX. AND AB
TWENTY ELEVEN. THIS COMMITTEE IS
A CITY. THE COMMITTEE ON
GOVERNANCE AND FINANCE SO WHAT
IT MEANS IS THAT IT'S THE IMPACT
ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT. AND TAXES.
THAT THAT'S WHAT WE SEE THAT'S
WITHIN OUR JURISDICTION- AND IT
REALLY- IT IT REALLY PAINS ME-
YOU KNOW I FEEL LIKE WE'RE BEING
ASKED TO MAKE A SOLOMON KIND OF
DECISION WHEN WE HAVE- OUR UNION
FRIENDS. WHO WE LOVE AND
RESPECT- WHO DO GREAT WORK COM
AND HAVE SAY YOU KNOW WE LOVE
THIS PROJECT IN THE OTHER SET
HABSI KILL IT- OR KILL THE BILL
REALLY KILL THE BILL BECAUSE WE
DON'T LIKE IT OVER OVER
LANGUAGE- BECAUSE I I'VE GOT TO
BELIEVE THERE'S A SWEET SPOT
THERE BUT EVERYBODY'S LOOKING
OUT FOR THE WORKERS INTERESTED
JUST A DIFFERENT. LENS IN
LOOKING OUT I THINK IT'S
TERRIFICALLY IMPORTANT THAT
PEOPLE BE ABLE TO EARN A LIVING
WAGE WHEN THEY'RE WORKING AND
THAT THEY BE ABLE TO LIVE IN THE
COMMUNITY THAT THEY'RE WORKING
AT BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THAT IT'S-
THAT IT'S EQUALLY IMPORTANT THAT
PEOPLE LEARN THE BENEFIT. OF
JOINING A UNION AND BE WELCOMED
INTO THE INTO THE UNION- AND BE
PROTECTED BECAUSE THEIR WORKERS
OUT THERE RIGHT NOW THAT ARE
WORKING THAT ARE GETTING SHORT
CHANGED THEY'RE NOT GETTING PAID
BUT THEY SHOULD- AND THERE'S ALL
KINDS OF VIOLATIONS GOING ON WE
HEAR ABOUT IT OVER AND OVER AND
OVER AGAIN SO. SO I THINK THERE
ARE THEIR DIFFERING GOALS BASED
ON ON THE LANDS THAT YOU USE-
I'VE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK
TO SENATOR WIENER ABOUT- ABOUT.
THE LANGUAGE IN HIS BILL AND
THERE ARE OTHER BILLS THAT- THAT
HAVE SKILLED AND TRAINED- AND
I'VE CARRIED THOSE BILL BILLS
MYSELF- AND- BECAUSE WORKERS ARE
SO IMPORTANT- AND SO. LET ME
JUST SAY THAT- THAT. THAT THE
NUMBER OF HOUSING UNITS THAT WE
NEED IS BETWEEN TWO POINT FIVE
MILLION TO THREE POINT FIVE
MILLION A TO JUST THERE'S THIS
TREMENDOUS NEED FOR HOUSING. AND
WE CAN'T AFFORD TO NOT EXPEDITE
PROJECTS MOVE THINGS ALONG- HERE
OVER OVER- OVER A DISPUTE I MEAN
I JUST BET THAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN ON THE FLOOR NO MATTER
WHAT BUT BUT IN COMMITTEE I JUST
DON'T THINK IT MAKES ANY SENSE
AND SO. I'D ASK SENATOR WIENER
IF HE'S WILLING TO CONTINUE THE
DIALOGUE. BETWEEN THE CARPENTERS
AND- AND THE TRADES AND HE HAS
SAID YES I TAKE HIM AT AS A MAN
OF HIS WORD- I'VE COMMITTED
MYSELF TO CONTINUE TO- TO HAVE A
CONVERSATION THE TRADES HAVE-
PROPOSED SOME ALTERNATIVE
LANGUAGE WHICH I THINK IS A GOOD
START- BUT THERE'S A LONG WAY TO
GO ON THIS. BILL IF IT PASSES
OUT OF COMMITTEE TODAY WOULD GO
TO APPROPRIATIONS AND THAT'S
WHERE IT IT IT'LL SET IT WOULD
SET- TO GIVE US TIME TO BE ABLE
TO SEE IF WE CAN WORK THINGS
OUT- IF THEY DON'T GET WORKED
OUT THEN THEN IT'S A FIGHT. AND
THERE'S NOTHING I THINK THAT WE
CAN DO OTHER THAN- YOU KNOW FOR
OUR OWN PERSONAL- POSITIONS. DO
IT SENATOR DRAWS A SAID WHICH IS
TO LOOK AT IT AND MAKE THE
DECISION THERE- MY POINT IS THAT
I'M NOT COMMITTING TO VOTING ON
IT ON THE FLOOR. I WANT TO MOVE
IT SO THAT WE CAN CAN. KEEP IT
GOING AND- AND LOOK TO SEE IF
THERE'S IF THERE'S THAT. A WAY
TO BE ABLE TO WORK IT OUT THE
REASON THIS BECOMES REALLY
IMPORTANT IS THAT WE HAVE SOME
BILLS THAT ARE GOING OUT OF THE
LEGISLATURE THAT HAVE THE
SKILLED AND TRAINED LANGUAGE.
AND IF WE HAVE IF THE FIGHT
CONTINUES OVER INTO THE ASSEMBLY
THEN ALL HOUSING BILLS COULD
COME TO A HALT AND THAT'S
HAPPENED BEFORE. BOTH S. B. SIX
AND AB TWENTY ELEVEN- WHERE THE
COMPROMISED TO GET S. BILLS
MOVING AND BE ABLE TO USE AN
EXPEDITED PROCESS- AND SO I I'D
HATE TO SEE US GO BACK. IN TIME
AND- AND CONTINUE. CONTINUE AT A
FIGHT- YOU KNOW IT'S A IT'S A-
IT'S A LITTLE BIT LIKE THERE'S A
GANG FIGHT ON THE STREET AND I
HAPPENED TO BE WALKING BY AND
IT'S A HARD THING TO SEE- SORRY
I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT THERE'S A
WAY TO BE ABLE TO BRING.
BROTHERS AND SISTERS TOGETHER
THEY DID THERE JUST HAS TO BE-
BUT I'M AN ETERNAL OPTIMIST SO
HAVING SAID THAT- SENATOR WIENER
I'M GONNA SUPPORT YOUR BILL
TODAY- I THINK YOU DO EXCELLENT
WORK AND- I REALLY APPRECIATE
THAT- THE TIME AND THOUGHT
THAT'S GONE INTO THIS. WE
DEFINITELY NEED MORE HOUSING
UNITS AND IF THIS WILL HELP US
TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL I THINK
THAT'S THAT'S AS FAR AS I'M
CONCERNED THAT'S A REALLY LOT OF
LOCAL AND SO. AND ALLOW YOU TO
CONCLUDE THAT THANK YOU. I DO SO
ON THE LABOR SERVICE ON- AND I
APPRECIATE ALL THE THOUGHTFUL
COMMENTS OF MY COLLEAGUES ON
THIS- I AND THANK YOU FOR NOT I
DO TRY TO BE THOUGHTFUL ABOUT
OUR BILLS BY THE WAY I'M NOT THE
ONLY ONE OF THOSE HARD BILLS
SOME MEMBERS ON THE- YES RIGHT
NOW DO SON- WHAT CENTERS FOR
RECALL HEADBANGERS- AS WELL-
BUT- I. I DO TRY TO BE THOUGHT I
DON'T IS RANDOMLY PUT LABOR
LANGUAGE IN THE BILLS. IN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN WHEN WE WERE DOING SB
THIRTY FIVE WE HAD A LONG SIX
MONTH CONVERSATION WITH THE
TRADES. GOVERNOR BROWN GOT
INVOLVED IT WAS A VERY
CONTENTIOUS THING THEN WE
RESOLVED THAT- AND I AND WE AND
WE WENT WITH A TWO PRONGED
APPROACH. WHAT WITH SKILLED
WORKFORCE. FOR THE NEXT INCOME
PREVAILING WAGE FOR THE 100%
AFFORDABLE. AND WE SAID LET'S
TRY IT OUT. AND THEN WE
CAREFULLY OBSERVE WHAT WAS
HAPPENING. AND THE SKILLED
WORKFORCE PART OF THE BILL
BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THIS IS
GENERALLY. YOU KNOW NOT MEGA
PROJECTS FOR THE MOST PART
CERTAINLY SMALLER. ON WOOD FRAME
CONSTRUCTION IT IT HASN'T
WORKED. AND WE LOOKED AT THE
DATA I WAS GOING TO TRY IT OUT
WE LOOKED AT THE DATA OVER YEARS
IT HASN'T WORKED. AND SO THAT'S
WHY WE MADE- MADE THE CHANGE.
I'M NOT ALLERGIC TO SCHOOL
WORKFORCE I CARRIED TWO BILLS
LAST YEAR ONE OF WHICH WAS
SPONSORED BY THE TRADES. WITH
SKILLED WORKFORCE ONE WAS A-
PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE
TRANSPORTATION STREAMLINING
BILL. AND ONE WAS ARE YOU SEE
CSU COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENT
HOUSING BILLS SO EFFECTIVELY
PUBLIC WORKS WHITE SCHOOL
WORKFORCE IN BOTH OF THOSE. ARE
AT AT THE SAME TIME THAT I WAS
SUPPORTING AB TWENTY ELEVEN AND
SB SEX. SO THAT IT'S NOT. IT TO
ME IT'S CASE BY CASE THAT THE
WORK OF THE IN SOME SITUATIONS.
IT WORKS SUPERBLY. IN OTHER
SITUATIONS. UNFORTUNATELY I
DON'T THINK IT WORKS NEARLY AS
WELL AND WE TRIED IT OUT WITH SB
THIRTY FIVE. AND WE HAVE THE
DATA TO BACK THAT UP AND THAT'S
WHY WE MADE. THE CHANGE IT WAS

HOUSING ON THEIR LAND WE KNOW
THAT THESE INSTITUTIONS HAVE A
LOT. OF ACCESS LAND BUT THEY DO
NOT NEED IT MIGHT BE A PARKING
LOT THAT'S THREE TIMES AS BIG AS
WHAT THEY NEED IT MIGHT JUST BE
EXTRA LAND. THE TURNER CENTER
DID AN ANALYSIS A FEW YEARS AGO
WHICH I BELIEVE THEY'RE UPDATING
LOOKING ONLY AT THE LARGEST
COUNTIES IN CALIFORNIA AN
ESTIMATED. THE FAITH BASED
INSTITUTIONS AND THOSE LARGEST
SEVEN RATE COUNTIES COULD
POTENTIALLY OF THIRTY EIGHT
THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND. THIS
WILL BE EFFECTIVELY DEDICATED
2100% AFFORDABLE HOUSING IT
COULD BE A GAME CHANGER- I
RESPECTFULLY ASK HER AYE VOTE. I
WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY. AND IS

CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION I'M ALSO
REPRESENTING THE US SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA- PARTNER GROUP. WE
REPRESENT- OVER A HUNDRED FIFTY
CONTRACTORS EMPLOY THOUSANDS OF
UNION WORKERS- I DO ALL MAKE A
COUPLE REAL BRIEF POINTS OUT.
THE DISCUSSIONS REPORT REGARDING
THE APPRENTICESHIP GRADUATES.
AND THE HOUSING MARKET. NEED
SOME CLARITY WELL THIS WHILE THE
STATE APPROVED APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAMS PRODUCED A LOW BIRTH
ROBUST NUMBER OF SKILLED AND
TRAINED GRADUATES EACH YEAR IN
THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. A
THAT ARE READY TO ENTER IN THE
COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL MARKETS
THERE'S BEEN LESS UNION DENSITY
IN THE RESIDENTIAL MARKET FOR
DECADES NOW. THIS IS BECAUSE THE
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS THAT
FOCUS ON RESIDENT RESIDENTIAL
MARKETS TO TRAIL. IN TRAINING
WORK FOR SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT
MARKET. RAISING THE FLOOR
THROUGH THE REQUIREMENTS
PREVAILING WAGE LET'S MY MEMBERS
BE COMPETITIVE GROW THEIR
WORKFORCE AND PARTICIPATE IN
MULTI UNIT HOUSING INDUSTRY ANY
PERNICIOUS GRADUATION.
REQUIREMENTS IN THE HOUSING
MARKET RIGHT NOW IS SIMPLY
PREMATURE AT THIS POINT. I'M
I'LL JUST A HIGHLIGHT THE OTHER
POINTS THAT WE DO NEED MORE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING THERE'S NO.
NO DISAGREEMENT ON THAT AND-
WE'D LIKE TO- SEE THAT MOVE
FORWARD- THE BILL HAS STRONGLY
LABOR PROTECTION WHICH WE THINK
REALLY IS SO STRONGLY NECESSARY
IN CONSTRUCTION- WE VIEW THE-
THE- THE PROCESS WITH- THE
HEALTH CARE. REQUIREMENTS IS
BEING- REALLY IMPORTANT- THAT
THERE'S KIND OF A DOUBLE DIP.
METHOD THAT'S BEEN UTILIZED FOR
YEARS- WHEN THEY ON PREVAILING
WAGE WORKS SO- WE STRONGLY LIKE
TO SEE THAT- LANGUAGE STAND
THERE. AND ALTHOUGH SB FOUR WILL
STREAMLINE THE BUILDING PROCESS
AND OFFER NEW TOOLS AND- AND
NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS. TO BUILD
SAFE STABLE AFFORDABLE HOMES FOR
LOCAL RESIDENTS AND FAMILY AND
THAT THE BILL BILL WILL ALSO
ALLOW THE- PLACE OF WORSHIP AND
PRIVATE NONPROFIT COLLEGE TO
BUILD. A HUNDRED PERCEPTIBLY
JACKS. FOR ALL THOSE REASONS WE

GOD TO SERVE OUR NEIGHBORS IN
NEED. FOR SOMETIME CONGREGATIONS
INDIVIDUALS. SOCIAL AGENCIES AND
SYNODS OF THE EVANGELICAL
LUTHERAN CHURCH IN AMERICA HAVE
CALLED ATTENTION TO THE PLIGHT
OF HOMELESS PEOPLE. MANY MEMBERS
HAVE WORKED WITH OTHER CHURCHES
AND GROUPS TO PROVIDE FOOD
SHELTER AND CARE TO STUDY THE
SOCIAL CAUSES OF HOMELESSNESS
AND TO ADVOCATE FOR POLICIES
THAT RESPOND TO THE HOUSING
CRISIS. PEOPLE IN OUR
CONGREGATIONS WHO ARE HOMELESS
AND POTENTIALLY HOMELESS
REMINDER OF THE URGENCY OF THE
SITUATION. AND SOME OF OUR
CONGREGATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS
BLESSED WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF
LAND HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HOUSE OUR
NEIGHBORS AS WE ARE CALLED TO DO
. WE DO THIS WORK IN LOVE. BUT
OFTEN ENCOUNTER UNNECESSARY

RESTRICTIONS. LOCAL LAWS ARE
PARTICULARLY ONEROUS IN SOME
PLACES IN THE STATE. LAST YEAR

TRIED TO CONVERT BETWEEN. WOULD
TRY TO CONVERT NEARLY TWO ACRES
OF ITS LAND TO AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND WE'RE TOLD BY COUNTY
OFFICIALS IT WOULD TAKE UPWARDS
OF THREE YEARS FOR CLEARANCE.
THEY BECAME DISCOURAGED AND
RATHER THAN WAIT AND STRUGGLE
WITH THEIR LOCAL GOVERNMENT MOVE
FORWARD WITH OTHER MINISTRIES.
AND IMMANUEL LUTHERAN CHURCH IN
SAN JOSE JUST BROKE GROUND ON
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT ON
THEIR CAMPUS AFTER TWO AND A
HALF YEARS OF RED TAPE. THAT
PROJECT WILL CREATE NEW
AFFORDABLE HOMES FOR RESIDENTS
REFERRED DIRECTLY BY THE COUNTY

AT AREA A TREMENDOUS NEED. IT
WAS A PROTRACTED AND FRUSTRATING
JOURNEY FOR THE CONGREGATION AND
