FUNDING OF A HUNDRED TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS THE OPPORTUNITY
THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IS VERY
UNIQUE WITH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN FEDERAL FUNDING FROM FEDERAL
CHIPS ACT. WE HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO LEVERAGE HUNDRED
TWENTY MANNING CAL COMPETES TO
BRING IN HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF
NOT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
FEDERAL FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE
SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY IN
CALIFORNIA. THE CALIFORNIA
PROGRAM HAS A TAX CREDIT AND
GRANT PROGRAM HAVE PROVEN
EXTREMELY EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL
IN BRINGING JOBS TO CALIFORNIA
JOBS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE NOT BE
CREATED BY THE BUSINESSES THAT
APPLY TO THE PROGRAM IT GIVES US
ARE PROBABLY THE STATE'S
STRONGEST TOOL TO COMPETE WITH
OTHER STATES. THANK YOU
BUSINESSES IN CALIFORNIA I'LL
KEEP IT BRIEF TODAY SINCE YOU
HAVE A LONG MEETING BUT
AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH OTHER COMMENTS
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE.
PETER BEHIND THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE WE HAVE NO ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS AT LEAST THANK YOU L.
L. BRIAN YOU ARE FROM THE L. L.
AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF CONTEXT
READING FOR THE SUBCOMMITTEE'S
CONSIDERATION OF. THIS ISSUE IS
THERE TO. RECENT ACADEMIC
STUDIES THAT WERE RELEASED ON A
CALIFORNIA COMPETES IN THERE
ACTUALLY. A FAIRLY- WELL DONE
STUDIES AND THEY DO. A PROVIDES
US SOME GOOD EVIDENCE ACOG
COMPETES DOES ENCOURAGE.
RECIPIENTS TO MAKE NEW
INVESTMENTS THAT THEY WOULDN'T
HAVE OTHERWISE- MADE. IN THE
STATE. A COUPLE OF. IMPORTANT
KIND OF CABBIE OUTS. TO THAT
CONCLUSION THE ONE IS THAT.
OTHER STUDIES LOOKED AT THIS-
PROGRAM. HIGHER TO THE
EXPANSIONS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE
IN THE PROGRAM OF THE LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS WHEN THE PROGRAM
IS THE TEXTURE PROGRAM WITH THE
SIZE OF A HUNDRED EIGHTY MILLION
DOLLARS IN BEFORE THE GRANT
PROGRAM. EXISTED SO THERE'S A
LITTLE BIT LESS- THERE THERE'S
LESS CERTAINTY ABOUT HOW MUCH
DOES A CONCLUSIONS APPLY TO- AN
EXPANDED PROGRAM WITH THE GRANTS
AND SOME OF THE ADDITIONAL FUNDS
HAVE BEEN. HAVE BEEN PROVIDED TO
THE PROGRAM IN RECENT YEARS. ONE
THING THAT SUBCOMMITTEE COULD
CONSIDER TO MITIGATE SOME OF
THAT CONCERN ABOUT WHETHER OR
NOT AN EXPANDED PROGRAM. CAN
CONTINUE ON- SOME OF THE
APPARENT SUCCESSES OF THE PAST
TAX CREDIT PROGRAM. I WOULD BE
TO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO A LINE
OF THE GRANT PROGRAM. IF YOU
WERE TO GO FOR WITH THAT TO LOOK
MORE LIKE THE TAX CREDIT PROGRAM
AT AS THIS GUY'S EXISTED OVER
THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. ALL ONE
KEY DISTINCTION SO FAR BETWEEN
THE WAY THAT THE GRANT PROGRAM
IS OPERATED AND THE TAX FOR THE
PROGRAM- IS THE GRANT PROGRAM
ATTENDS TO FOCUS. ON PROVIDING
LARGER GRANT STILL MUCH SMALLER
NUMBER OF RECIPIENTS- AND SO-
TAKING A LOOK AT AT. MAKING A
CHANGE TO THAT ELEMENT TO MAYBE
SPREAD THE FUNDS OUT MORE MAKE
IT A MORE KIND OF A COMPETITIVE
AMONG MORE BUSINESSES. MORE MERE
THE CREDIT PROGRAM. MIGHT GIVE
YOU SOME MORE SHARON'S THAT
YOU'RE GETTING SOME OF THOSE
BENEFITS IT WAS DOCUMENTED THAT
RECENT RESEARCH. THAT'LL BRING
IT BACK TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE FOR
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS CENTER
CABALLERO. IF THAT. THAT WORKS.
I'M SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS
THAT THAT- THAT DIFFERENCE IN
HOW IT'S AWARDED OR- WHETHER
IT'S A GREAT PROGRAMMER A TAX
CREDIT PROGRAM. MAY AFFECT THE
WAY THAT. THE SUCCESS OF THE
PROGRAM. I I'VE I THINK WHAT I'M
SAYING IS THE WE HAVE THIS
EVIDENCE ON THE TAX CREDIT
PROGRAM THE WAY THAT IT IT WAS
OPERATED. MMHM AND THAT EVIDENCE
APPEARS TO SUGGEST ABOUT PROGRAM
WAS- A LARGELY MEETING THE
OBJECTIVES THAT WE HAVE FOR IT-
ENCOURAGING INVESTMENT IN JOBS
IN THE STATE. AND SO- IT YOU
KNOW IT'S ALMOST TO SEE A
SUGGESTION OF IT IF IT IF IT
ISN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT YOU
KNOW- THAT WE HAVE THIS EVIDENCE
ON THIS THING WE SHOULD CONTINUE
TO LEVERAGE THAT. THAT WE KNOW
WORKS- AND SO THAT'S THAT'S KIND
OF THE IDEA BEHIND OUR SCOTTISH
MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. I'M DO WE
KNOW WHERE A MAJORITY OF THESE
GRANTS WENT- WHY IS IT THAT
UPTAKE ALL OVER THE STATE. YES
SENATOR WE DO I DO HAVE A LIST
OF ALL OF THE GRANT AWARDS WITH
ME RIGHT NOW AND ALSO PUBLICLY
AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE
PUBLISHED- AGAIN WE ONLY HAVE
THE GRANT PROGRAM FOR TWO YEARS
WHEREAS THE CALIFORNIA BASED TAX
CREDIT HAS BEEN IN OPERATION
FOR. NINE YEARS NOW SO OBVIOUSLY
A LITTLE MORE OF A TRACK RECORD
WITH THE TAX CREDIT- BUT AS FAR
AS THE GRANT AND IT'S I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT MEMBER THAT THE
GRANT PROGRAM FOCUSES ON
COMPANIES. THAT CAN'T TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THE TAX CREDIT
EITHER BECAUSE OF EXTENSIVE R&D
CREDITS NET OPERATING LOSSES OR
MAYBE START UPS ARE ABOUT TO GO
TO SCALE BUT THEIR PRE REVENUE.
AND SO THE NON REFUNDABLE TAX
CREDIT DOESN'T DO THEM ANY GOOD
THE GRANT RECIPIENT THAT WE'VE
HAD- HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE
STATE FROM I'M LOOKING AT. FROM
THE LOS ANGELES AND SAN
BERNADINE OUR REGION TO
LIVERMORE. IRVINE SAN DIEGO SAN
FRANCISCO SUNNYVALE LOS GATOS
SANTA CLARA SAN JOAQUIN. OUR OUR
STERLING CALIFORNIA. I
APPRECIATE THAT- I THINK THE
REASON THAT I ASK THE QUESTION
AND- AND IT'S BECOME MY- I THINK
MORE ABOUT. A BIGGER ISSUE IS.
WHICH IS WAY BEYOND WHAT THIS
BUDGET DISCUSSION IS BUT I WANT
TO GET IT OUT THERE. IS THAT
THERE AND THERE HAS BEEN SOME
CONCERN RAISED. THAT OUR HOUSING
POLICIES TRANSPORTATION POLICIES
AND OUR FUNDING POLICIES THROUGH
GO BEST. ARE DON'T ALIGN. AND
THAT WE ARE STARTING TO PUNISH.
THE COMMUNITIES THAT LIVE- WELL
LET ME LET ME PUT IT IN THE
REVERSE THAT THAT MANY TIMES THE
GRANTS GO TO COMMUNITIES THAT.
DON'T HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
PEOPLE MOVE FURTHER AWAY WHICH
THEN- AFFECTS OUR CLIMATE GOALS.
BECAUSE THEY'RE COMMUTING EVERY
DAY IN IN SINGLE OCCUPANCY
VEHICLES. AND THEN IF THOSE
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE PROVIDING
THE HOUSING. PROVIDE THE HOUSING
THERE IS NOW A REQUIREMENT THAT
THEY ACCOUNT FOR THE FACT THAT
PEOPLE ARE COMMUNITY FROM THEIR
COMMUNITIES INTO THE BIG CITY SO
THAT IS STARTING TO RISE. OR
INCREASE THE COST OF HOUSING IN
THOSE COMMUNITIES SO I BRING
THAT UP BECAUSE I'M GONNA START
TALKING ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME.
BECAUSE- AGAIN THE OUR POLICIES
DON'T LINE UP TO INCENTIVIZE
THOSE COMMUNITIES TO KEEP
BUILDING HOUSING THEY'RE
PENALIZED NOW- THROUGH THROUGH
THAT VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED
ASSESSMENT AGAINST THEM WHEN
WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO IS
JUST MEET THE READING NUMBER SO
ANYWAY I JUST. THAT THAT IF
WE'RE GONNA THERE IS SOME
DISCUSSION. AT LEAST IN THE
SENATE THAT WE THAT WE ALIGN THE
GOALS OF GOMEZ WITH THE HOUSING
GOALS. THAT WE HAVE IN OTHER
WORDS THE MONEY SHOULD GO TO
THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
BUILDING THE HOUSE. AND THAT
WOULD LEAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF
AREAS OF THE STATE- OFF LIMITS
BECAUSE THEY'RE THEY'RE JUST NOT
MEETING THEIR HOUSING NEEDS- THE
REASON THE CENTRAL VALLEY HAS
SEEN AN INFLUX OF PEOPLE IS FROM
THE BAY AREA. AND YET WE HAVE TO
ACCOUNT FOR VEHICLE MILES
TRAVELED AS IF WE CREATED THAT
PROBLEM SO I JUST PUT THAT OUT
THERE AND- I DON'T EXPECT AN
ANSWER BUT IT IS THAT IS A
CONCERN THAT I HAVE. AGAIN THANK
YOU FOR YOUR INDULGENCE MISTER
CHAIRMAN NOT AT ALL CENTER
TOTALLY CONCUR A CENTENNIAL. I
THINK FOR THIS MEMBER I WOULD
JUST COME IN AS WELL I THINK
IT'S GONNA BE INTERESTING IS THE
PROGRAM EVOLUTION CONTINUES TO
LOOK AT THE LINK. NOT JUST. THE
PROGRAM INCENTIVE TO BRING AND
INVEST IN PERMANENT JOBS TO THE
STATE BUT THIS STRATEGIC FOCUS
ON EMERGING IN STRATEGIC
INDUSTRIES. AND TO SEE THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DILUTION OF
THE GRANT PROGRAM WHETHER IT'S
AN ON BILL YOU KNOW IN TERMS OF.
A FEW AMOUNT OF GRANTS FOR
LARGER FUNDS THAT ARE MORE
STRATEGICALLY FOCUSED VIS A VIS
JUST A BROADER APPLICATION OF. A
LOWER STANDARD AND SO THE
STRATEGIC ELEMENT HERE. I IN A
TIME OF YOU KNOW CONSTRAINED
RESOURCES IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO
THIS NUMBER I WANTED TO JUST.
BUT PUT THAT ON THE RECORD OTHER
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS
MATTER COMES RIGHT THIS THAT
THIS MATTER BE HELD OPEN THAT'LL
TAKE US TO ISSUE TWENTY ONE.
INCREASE STAFFING FOR CALIFORNIA
BUSINESS INVESTMENT SERVICES.
WARNING WELCOME AND AGAIN WHEN
YOU'RE- WHEN YOU'RE READY PLEASE

SEVEN HUNDRED AND FORTY THOUSAND
ONGOING GENERAL FUND TO SUPPORT
THE UNITS WORKLOAD OF THE SIX
REQUESTED POSITIONS THREE ARE
NEW POSITIONS AND THE OTHER
THREE ARE LIMITED TERM POSITIONS
THAT WOULD BE MADE PERMANENT.
CALPERS IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR
ATTRACTING NEW BUSINESS TO
CALIFORNIA AS WELL AS MITIGATING
POTENTIAL CLOSURES OF LARGE
EMPLOYERS WITH IN CALIFORNIA ONE
OF THE KEY TOOLS TO BUSINESS
ATTRACTION AND RETENTION IS
CALPERS IS ABILITY TO IDENTIFY
AND LEVERAGE STATE AND FEDERAL
RESOURCES INCLUDING TAX
INCENTIVES. RELOCATION SERVICES
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
OPPORTUNITIES AND RETENTION
STRATEGIES WITH RECENT LARGE
SCALE INVESTMENTS BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT THIS INCENTIVE
PACKAGING HAS ONLY GROWN MORE
COMPLEX AND TIME SENSITIVE. HELD
HIS EXISTING STAFF IS MANAGED BY
THE CALPERS DEPUTY DIRECTOR AND
IS SUPPORTED BY THE ASSISTANT
DEPUTY DIRECTOR BUT GIVEN THE
GROWTH IN COMPLEXITY OF PROJECTS
ADDITIONAL STRUCTURE. TO INCLUDE
THIS AS A SOME TWO IS NEEDED
WITHIN THE CALPERS ORGANIZATION
TO BETTER REFLECT THE
ORGANIZATION'S GROWING
PORTFOLIO. AND SUPPORT STAFF
RETENTION AUGMENTING A CALPERS
IS EXISTING STAFF WOULD RESULT
IN MUCH GREATER HIRING AND
RETAINING DIVERSE GROUPS
CALIFORNIANS INTERESTED IN AND
READY FOR ADVANCING BUSINESS.
DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE STATE
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
CHARLES ALL DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE NOTICE NO COMMENT AT
THIS TIME. YOU L. L. I WITH NO
ISSUES RAISE ON THIS ITEM BRING
IT BACK TO THE SUBCOMMITTEE OR
OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. ON
THIS ISSUE. I JUST LIKE TO AND
I'M SORRY CENTER COPIER. YES
THEY DID THEY THINK ABOUT HOW TO
HOW TO POSIT THIS- I THINK PART
OF THE CHALLENGE FOR ME AT A
TIME OF LIMITED RESOURCES THIS
WHY NOW- AND- IN IN. IN A REAL
SPECIFIC. QUESTION ABOUT WHERE
ARE WE GOING WITH THESE NEW
POSITIONS THAT. THAT TELL US
THAT WE NEED TO DO IT NOW AS
OPPOSED TO NEXT YEAR THE
FOLLOWING YEAR. WE'VE BEEN I'M
REALLY CONCERNED WITH THE PACE
AT WHICH WORKS SPENDING.
GOVERNMENT AND IT'S AND IT SEEMS
TO ME THAT. I MEAN WHEN YOU LOOK
AT WHAT GO GOBIZ THIS SIZE OF
GOBIZ. FIVE YEARS AGO. OR TEN
YEARS AGO IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY
INCREASED AND IF THERE ARE SOME
REAL SPECIFIC- ACTIVITY. AND I
GO BASS DOES A GREAT JOB I'M-
AND THEY WORK WITHIN. THE RULES
SET THE LEGISLATURE AND THE
GOVERNOR AGREE ON RIGHT I'M NOT.
I'M NOT PICKING ON YOU I'M KIND
OF JUST- OVERALL STATING THAT
I'M I'M CONCERNED WITH.
EXPANDING GOVERNMENT. AND WHEN
WE HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES YOU
CAN'T. YOU CAN'T THIS EXPAND
RIGHT I MEAN YOU'RE IT'S GROWN
AND I WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE
REALLY TARGETING I'M IN LET ME
JUST PREFACE IT ME JUST SAY THAT
I WORK FOR GOVERNOR BROWN FOR.
FIVE PLUS YEARS AND PART OF THAT
PART OF MY JOB. IN THE AGENCY
THAT I HAD WAS TO DOWNSIZE. I'M
AND WE DID WE ELIMINATED THREE
OR FOUR. ORGANIZATIONS THAT WERE
EITHER COMMISSION'S OFFICES OR-
I'M- OR ADVISORS- WE HAD CREATED
AN ADVISORY. OFFICE AND- AND
HAVING GONE THROUGH THAT KIND OF
A DOWNSIZED IT'S ALWAYS
DIFFICULT TO TELL PEOPLE THAT
THEY'RE NO LONGER GOING TO BE
DOING THE JOB TODAY. THEY WERE
DOING BEFORE AND THAT'S BECAUSE
WE HAD A TWENTY SIX BILLION
DOLLAR DEFICIT I'M JUST I'M
CONCERNED WITH EXPANDING AT A
TIME WHEN WE DON'T WHEN WE DO
HAVE A DEFICIT NUMBER ONE- AND
I'M I'M WONDERING IF THERE ARE
SOME- SOME OF THE GROWTH THAT WE
CAN. WAIT A YEAR TO FOR AN
INCLUDING SOME OF THE GROWTH
THAT WE THOUGHT WAS REALLY GOOD
LAST YEAR BUT THEN WHEN YOU LOOK
AT IT TIME OF LIMITED RESEARCH.
REALLY DO WE WANT TO DO THIS
RIGHT NOW. ME JUST OUT I JUST.
THAT'S MY- I STATEMENT ON NEW
REQUESTS AND SIX POSITIONS I'M A
SIGNIFICANT SIGNIFICANT GROWTH I
DIDN'T SEE ANY DEPARTMENT. THAT
IT THAT I HAD. AGENCY OVER.
THERE THEY GREW BY SIX STAFF
MEMBERS WHEN I WAS WORKING FOR
THE GOVERNOR AND HE WAS
NOTORIOUSLY FRUGAL. AND I
APPRECIATED THAT BECAUSE I.
REASON I ENDED UP UP HERE IS
BECAUSE I CAME FROM LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AND I WAS TIRED OF
THE STATE COMING IN AND SAYING
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE YOUR MONEY
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY. SO
THE CHALLENGE CENTER I REMEMBER
THOSE DAYS CENTER NEELAM. I S.
CHOOSE ME I OR YOUR COMMENTS
ABOUT- A GOVERNOR BROWN- HE WAS
A CHEAPSKATE. MY NAME THAT. I
MEAN THAT IN THE MOST GENEROUS
OF WAYS I'M- NOW HOW DO. TO ADD
TO CENTER KABHI ARROWS COMMENTS
. HOW CAN WE PROVE HOW DO WE
KNOW THAT- THE EFFORTS OF GOBIZ
ACTUALLY. RESULTED IN THE
INCREASE INVESTMENTS IN THE
INCREASE IN JOBS AND- THEY HAVE
HAPPENED ANYWAY. I THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR THE QUESTIONS OF
MY NAME IS KIND OF FIRM SENIOR
ADVISER FOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
OVER AT THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF
BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT SO I RUN THE COWBOYS
TEAM. AS WELL AS THE OFFICE OF
PERMIT ASSISTANCE AND THE
COMMUNITY IN PLACE BASED
SOLUTIONS TEAM ALL OF WHICH ARE
GEARED TOWARDS INCREASING
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
OPPORTUNITIES WITH OUR LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS. AND TO ANSWER
YOUR YOUR SPECIFIC QUESTION MOST
OF THE INCENTIVE PROGRAMS THAT
ARE AVAILABLE TO COMPANIES
ESPECIALLY ON A RETROACTIVE
BASIS. ARE REQUIRING WHAT IS
CALLED THE BUT FOR CASE
ILLUSTRATIONS THAT THERE ARE.
ADDITIONAL OFFERS FROM OTHER
JURISDICTIONS AND OTHER
LOCALITIES THAT COULD PREVENT
THOSE JOBS FROM BEING CREATED
HERE. IN MOST OF THOSE PROGRAMS
THERE IS A REQUIREMENT FOR
ATTESTATION BY THE COMPANY
ILLUSTRATING THAT THESE JOBS
WOULD NOT BE CREATED IF NOT FOR
THAT CREDIT OR FOR THE SERIES
OF. NOT ALL INCENTIVE PROGRAMS
HAVE THAT REQUIREMENT BUT THAT
MAKE THE MAJOR ONES LIKE CAL
COMPETES IN THE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT RIGHT WHICH THE
REDUCTION ON UTILITY COSTS ARE
THOSE DO BOTH REQUIRED THAT.
THOSE ARE THE PRIMARY VEHICLES
FOR THE DETERMINATION OF MAJOR
PROJECTS LANDING IN CALIFORNIA
SOME OF THE OTHER ONES LIKE
SALES AND USE TAX PROVISIONS OR
EXCLUSIONS AND EXCEPTIONS. ARE
ARE USED BY EXISTING COMPANIES
ARE PREDOMINANT BASIS AND ARE
NOT AS MUCH OF AN ATTRACTIVE
LEVER BUT ARE ALSO USED IN IN
RELATION TO THE PACKAGE OF
ATTRACTION- IN IN RELATION TO
THAT THE NUMBER OF DEALS THAT WE
WOULD NORMALLY GET. OUR ABILITY
TO HAVE STAFF WITHIN THE
TERRITORIES INCREASES THE
LIKELIHOOD FOR CONVERSATIONS
WITH COMPANIES WERE INTERESTED
IN THOSE TERRITORIES AND
OFTENTIMES THERE IS. A
DISCONNECT BETWEEN LOCAL
PROGRAMS AND STATE PROGRAMS AND
THE AVAILABILITY OF THE
RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO SOME OF
THOSE COMPANIES. AND SO OUR TEAM
IS ABLE TO PROVIDE BOTH THE
STATE UNDERSTANDING OF THE
INCENTIVES AND HOW THEY WORK.
BUT ALSO TIED TO LOCAL PROJECTS
TO FEDERAL DOLLARS THAT COULD
ALSO ACCELERATE. THE ATTRACTION
OF THOSE COME. IN ALL THESE
CASES WE REQUIRE THEM TO PROVE
THAT THEY ARE IN NEGOTIATIONS
ACTIVELY WITH OTHER
JURISDICTIONS AND OTHER STATES.
I AND ENDS AS PART OF THE
APPLICATIONS THEMSELVES THEY'RE
REQUIRED TO A CAST. AND JUST
REALLY QUICKLY FOR THE TED DRESS
THE SPECIFIC WORKLOAD QUESTION
WE'VE SEEN A INCREASE AND I AM
PEOPLE REQUESTING CALPERS
SERVICES I'M FROM A HUNDRED
EIGHTY TWO. ENQUIRIES AND TWENTY
EIGHTEEN TWENTY NINETEEN TEST
THREE HUNDRED TEN AND TWELVE FOR
TWENTY TO TWENTY THREE. THANK
YOU TO BOTH MY COLLEAGUES AND TO
FOLLOW UP A LITTLE BIT I MEAN I
THINK. HELPFUL TO US TO HAVE
SOME GRANULAR. ORACLE DATA- THAT
TAKES A LOOK AT NOT JUST THE
SERVICES THAT ARE. UTILIZED BY
THE ACTUAL. RESULTING ANALYSIS
OF THE ACTUAL IMPACT RELEVANCE
PROGRAM RELEVANCE TO THE
ULTIMATE DETERMINATION TO MAKE
AN INVESTMENT. RIGHT BECAUSE
THAT'S THE POLICY GOAL IT THE
OTHER THING THAT SORT OF. QUEST
IS INDICATED THERE'S A
DIFFICULTY IN RECRUITMENT AND
RETENTION. N. AT THE SAME TIME
WE'RE ADDING SIX FT'S. IN THE
BUDGET CYCLE BUT I'M ASSUMING
THEY'RE IN THE SAME FRAMEWORK IN
TERMS OF COMPENSATION. AND SO
HOW ARE WE RECONCILING EXPANSION
OF THE STAFFING LEVELS WITH THE
FACT THAT IN YOU KNOW PER SE
WERE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH
RETENTION. AND RECRUITMENT
BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING THAT
COMPENSATIONS A FACTOR AND
OTHERS AND COMPETING FOR SOME OF
THE BEST TALENT HOW ARE WE
ADDRESSING THAT AND I WAS THAT
RECONCILE WITH THE WEST. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH JEOPARDY IF THE
QUESTION- THE ADDED POSITIONS
ARE ACTUALLY UNDER THE
CLASSIFICATIONS OF THE EXISTING
POSITIONS TO CREATE MORE OF A
LADDER STRUCTURE FOR US TO BRING
IN FOLKS WHO MAYBE HAVE. LESS OF
THE TARGETED EXPERIENCE AND TO
GET MORE PRACTICAL APPLICATION
IN THE WORK THAT WE DO THEN BE
PROMOTED INTO THE- THOSE THAT
ARE ARE REALLY THE MORE
COMPETITIVE ARENA SELF. ON THE
HIGHER END OF OUR SENIOR
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT SPECIALISTS
THAT WOULD BE THE EQUIVALENT OF
AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. IN TERMS OF
THE WORKLOAD IN THE FUNCTIONS
THAT THEY PERFORM NOW AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL IS A SUBSTANTIAL
INCREASE TO THOSE TYPES OF
OPPORTUNITIES BUT THEY DO HAVE A
MORE. OF A CONDENSED TERRITORY
THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON SO THAT
IS AN ATTRACTIVE ELEMENT FOR
SOME OF THE PARTICIPANTS WERE
SHOT. HOWEVER IN TERMS OF THE
COMPETITION AND ONCE THEY HAVE A
REGION BECAUSE IN IN THE WAY
THAT WE BUY FOR KATE OUR STAFF
IS BY REGION ALITY. AND SO ONCE
THEY'VE ENTRENCHED THEMSELVES IN
THE REGION THEY BECOME EXTREMELY
ATTRACTIVE TO THAT REGION ITSELF
AS FAR AS BRINGING THEM IN. A
FROM THE STATE'S INTERFACE
BECAUSE OF UNDERSTANDING OF ALL
THE STATE PROGRAMS AND HOW TO
LAYER THOSE ALONG WITH THE
FEDERAL PROGRAMS AND LOCAL UP.
AND SO WHAT WE'VE IS. VERY MUCH
SO SYSTEMICALLY SINCE I'VE HERE
FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS. IS AFTER
ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF THEY
HAVE ENOUGH SKILLS TO THEN BE
POACHED FROM. OURS OUR FIRM TO-
MORE LOCAL ESTABLISHMENT AND BE
ABLE TO RUN BASICALLY THE SAME
WAY. FOR US TO BE ABLE TO READ.
REPLENISH OUR NEEDS I'M HOPING
THAT THE ABILITY TO BRING AND-
THOSE WITH LESS OF A DEVELOP
SKILL SET AND BRINGING THEM UP
TO THE TALENT LEVEL THAT WE
REQUIRE WOULD BOTH. ENHANCE THE
RETENTION BUT ALSO ELIMINATE
TERRITORIAL LOS. I THINK I
UNDERSTAND OF THE PREMISE. OF
THE APPROACH YOU'RE TAKING AND
TO ARTICULATE WHAT THE BENEFIT
WOULD BE- I'M NOT SURE I'M
COMPLETELY CONVINCED BUT BUT I
APPRECIATE THE ANSWER OTHER
OTHER. QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS A
SUBCOMMITTEE. IF NOT THIS ITEM
WILL BE HELD OPEN. THAT'LL BRING
US SAID TO ITEM TWENTY ISSUE
TWENTY TWO. INTERNATIONAL TRADE
STAFF. AND RESOURCE
AUGMENTATION. PLEASE PROCEED.
HEY LAUREN GREEN AYE DEPUTY
DIRECTOR OF LEGISLATION FOR
GROWTH IS. AT THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR I'D GO BUSINESS REQUESTING
THREE HUNDRED TWENTY SEVEN
THOUSAND ONGOING IN GENERAL FUND
AND REQUESTING TO MAKE TO
EXISTING LIMITED TERM POSITION
IS PERMANENT. THE NEED FOR THIS
CAPACITY IS A REFLECTION OF THE
WORKLOAD X. EXPECTED FOR FEDERAL
SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATIONS
AT STATE TRADE EXPANSION
PROGRAM. AND A GRANT FROM AND-
CURRENTLY AT BEING GETTING
RECEIVE FROM CDFA AND THIS
INCREASE IN DEMAND AS IT IS AT
FOR GOBIZ WE'RE EXPECTED TO
ADMINISTER OVERSEE AND GROW THE
PROGRAM. ADDITIONALLY BOTH
REQUESTED POSITIONS HAVE
RESPONSIBILITIES BEYOND THAT
COMPLEMENTARY TO THE STEP
PROGRAM THAT ALSO REFLECT THE
INCREASED DEMAND ON SERVICES FOR
THE INTERNATIONAL TEAM AS A
WHOLE. EXISTING LAW AND MAKES IT
EXPRESS POLICY OF CALIFORNIA FOR
GO BUSINESS INTERNATIONAL
AFFAIRS AND TRADE UNIT TO
INCREASE ACCESS TO FOREIGN
MARKETS. AND ONE MAJOR WACO
BUSINESS ABLE TO SUPPORT SMALL
BUSINESS EXPORTERS ESTHER THE
STOCK GRANT. THE INTERNATIONAL
TEAM HAS SEEN SIZEABLE GROWTH IN
DEMAND FOR OUR SERVICES IN
RECENT YEARS ACROSS PROGRAM
AREAS INCLUDING THE STOCK
PROGRAM. FOR EXAMPLE IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN THIS STEP PROGRAM
RECEIVED A HUNDRED FIFTY TWO
APPLICATIONS FOR FUNDING
CONSIDERATION. LAST YEAR- IN
TWENTY TWENTY TWO AND GOT HIS
CHECK UP OUR FULL ADMINISTRATION
OF THE PROGRAM. THERE'S A TOTAL
OF SIX HUNDRED TWENTY NINE
APPLICATIONS SUBMITTED THAT'S
ALMOST A 310020% INCREASE. THE
INCREASED WORKLOAD STEMS NOT
ONLY FROM AN INCREASE IN THE
NUMBER OF BUSINESSES SEEKING
SUPPORT IN THE STEP PROGRAM BUT
IS ALSO REFLECTED IN THE
OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS OF
TAKING ON THE STEP PROGRAM FULL
TIME. IN PREVIOUS YEARS THE
ADMINISTRATION OF THE FEDERAL
STEP GRANT WAS DONE BY THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FOOD
AND AGRICULTURE. AND THE STEP
DIRECTOR WAS- POSITION WITH
HOUSE OUTSIDE OF STATE WITH A
FULL TIME POSITION NOT CSU
SAMBAR TO DINO. INLAND EMPIRE
CENTER FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
THAT WAS HAD AN HEPA LEVEL STAFF
PERSON WHOSE PRIMARY
RESPONSIBILITIES WERE SUPPORTING
THE GULF IS PORTION OF THE STEP
PROGRAM WHEN WE SERVED AS
SUBCONTRACTORS WITH CDFA. AND ON
. C. S. U. AT SANDRA DINO
THERE'S RECOGNITION AGREE. THE
THREE ENTITIES THAT GO THE STATE
NEEDED TO THE PRO FULLY WITHIN
THE- DESIGNATE AS LEAD ON THE
STATE'S INTERNAL. F. AND TRADES.
GOBIZ NOW THAT GOES TAKING THE
FULL GRANT ON INCLUDING
OVERSIGHT AND FULL
ADMINISTRATION WE'VE BROUGHT
THAT STEP DIRECTOR POSITION AND
HOUSE UNDER LIMITED TERM
POSITION AND ALSO STILL I'M
STILL NEED TO MAKE PERMANENT.
HEPA POSITION THAT CONTINUES TO
SUPPORT THE PROGRAM. WE'VE BUILT
NEW SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES WITH
THE CURRENT LIMITED TERM
CAPACITY INCLUDING TRANSITIONING
ALL OF THE STAFF IS SMALL
BUSINESS CLIENTS THE SALES FORCE
AND LAUNCHING A NEW WEBSITE AND
GRANT PORTAL. GULBIS HAS
REGULARLY BEEN HOSTING WEBINARS
FOR POTENTIAL STEP APPLICANTS
SINCE THE WEBSITE'S BEEN LIVE IN
GRANT PORTAL WERE LAUNCHED.
THESE LIVE SESSIONS GIVE
BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVES
OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ASK
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEW
APPLICATION PROCESS AND PROGRAM
AS A WHOLE. AS OF DECEMBER
TWENTY TWO JUST A FEW MONTHS
UNDER THE NEW FEDERAL GRANT YOUR
DIRECTLY WHAT AND ENGAGE WITH
OVER THOUSANDS CALIFORNIA. SMALL
BUSINESSES THROUGH THE WEAPON
OURS. I AM THE FULL WORK FOR
BOTH POSITION OUTLAY IN THE
PEACE P. AND BOTH POSITION- HAVE
THE RESPONSIBILITIES BEYOND A
COMPLIMENTARY TO THE STEP
PROGRAM. WITHOUT MAKING THESE
LIMITED TERM POSITIONS PERMANENT
CURRENT STAFFING ON THE
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS ENTRY TEAM
WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT FOR
ADMINISTRATION. AND OVERSIGHT OF
THE STOCK PROGRAM. AT THIS B. C.
P. ONE SURE THAT SMALL BUSINESS
EXPORTERS WILL CONTINUE TO
RECEIVE THE ATTENTION THEY
DESERVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
COMMENTS FROM DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE. I ALSO SAW THE
PERMANENT FINANCE NOTICE FOR
COMMENT AT THIS TIME THANK YOU
ROSE. LOL YES SO IS YOUR AGENDA
NOTES- WE DID RAISE SOME
CONCERNS ABOUT THE WORKLOAD
JUSTIFICATION FOR WAR- ONE OF
THE TWO POSITIONS THAT WERE-
LISTED IN THE B. C. P. BASED ON
OUR REGION UNDERSTANDING. ALSO
AS OUTLINED IN YOUR- AGENDA THAT
ONE OF THE POSITIONS WAS TO
ADMINISTER STEP IN THE OTHER WAS
TO ADDRESS GENERAL AND-
INCREASES IN WORKLOADS IN THE-
IN THE UNIT MORE BROADLY. BASED
ON SOME ADDITIONAL MORE RECENT
INFORMATION AND SOME OF THE THAT
WAS KIND OF SHARED IN THIS
TESTIMONY THAT. ACTUALLY THE
DEPARTMENT IS. PROVIDING
INFORMATION THE SUGGEST BOTH OF
THESE POSITIONS ARE NEEDED TO
ADMINISTER THAT STEP PROGRAM-
THAT DOES. SOME A LESSON ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT THE LACK OF- A
WORKLOAD JUSTIFICATION ON THESE
POSITIONS. THANK YOU I WILL
BRING BACK TO SUBCOMMITTEE. A
CENTER CABALLERO THANK YOU VERY
MUCH WELL I YOU KNOW WHAT IF IT
. THAT THE M. IT APPEARS MAY BE
. AB WOULD NOT BE TRUE BUT IT
APPEARS THAT. THE PROGRAM WAS
OPERATED BY THE CALIFORNIA
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FOOD
AND AGRICULTURE AND THEN IT GETS
TRANSFERRED AND NOW. THE
POSITIONS NEED TO BE MADE.
PERMANENT AND SO I. MAYBE WE PUT
IT BACK IN CALIFORNIA. THE
CALIFORNIA FOOD AND AGRICULTURE
BECAUSE THEY CAN THEY CAN THEY
CAN SEEM TO DO IT BUT I JUST. I
MEAN GIVE ME A REASON. THROUGH
THE CHAIR. THANK YOU. I AM SO IT
WAS A LITTLE STRUCTURED A LITTLE
DIFFERENTLY AND- AND- IT WAS THE
DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND
AGRICULTURE AND THAT CALIFORNIA
STATE UNIVERSITY OF SAMPOERNA
DINO IN THE INLAND EMPIRE CENTER
FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP. AND THEY
HAD THE FULL AND THE DIRECTOR
HOUSE FULL TIME WITHIN CSU SAN
BERNARD DINO AND SO NOW AND AS
WE'VE SEEN GREATER APPLICATIONS
AND- AND BUSINESSES A- TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF THE STEP PROGRAM-
JUST THE VOLUME AND OF WORKLOAD
AND ASSETS AND THE GOALS OF THE
STATE AND SUPPORTING.
INTERNATIONAL EXPORTS AND GROWTH
I THINK AND HAVING IT ALIGNED
WITH IN ONE AGENCY TO PROVIDE
CONTINUITY AND CONSISTENCY. AND
WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO THE STATE
. THANK YOU SIR CABALLERO. I
UNDERSTAND THE SHIFT TO A STEP
AND I UNDERSTAND. THE TARGET FOR
SMALL BUSINESS ACCESS TO A LOT
OF TRADE INFORMATION AND
INFRASTRUCTURE AND THAT
FACILITATION HAS SOME. HAS SOME
VALUE MORE BROADLY AS THE LEAD
AGENCY UNDER ACTUAL TRADE.
OBVIOUSLY I AM REPRESENT THE
KELLY BAJA. REGION I REPRESENT
THE ENTIRETY OF THE CALIFORNIA
MEXICO BORDER. I AND I WANT TO
UNDERSTAND A BIT MORE ABOUT
MAYBE FUTURE. DEVELOPMENT BASED
UPON WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING HERE
IN TERMS OF THE MORE BROAD
STRATEGIC WORK OF. OTHER
DEPARTMENT IS THE LEAD AGENCY
HERE BECAUSE I'M VERY FAMILIAR
WITH THE UNIQUE DYNAMICS AND
CHALLENGES THAT ARE PRESENT IN
THE AT THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER
WITH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND
IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER. I'D
LIKE TO KIND OF GET A BRIEF
COMMENT ABOUT SORT OF. OKAY IS
GENERALLY ABOUT THE KELLY BAJA.
BY NATIONAL REGION YOU KNOW
REMEMBERING THE FACT THAT THERE
ARE UNIQUE CHALLENGES HERE BOTH
WITH REGARD TO. INFRASTRUCTURE
THAT SUPPORTS THE MOVEMENT OF
GOODS- FRANKLY THE FACT A
REALITY THAT WE ARE HAVING
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT ISSUES
THAT ARE RELIANT ON THAT
INTERNATIONAL BILATERAL
RELATIONSHIP. MEXICO WILL BECOME
OUR NUMBER ONE TRADING PARTNER-
AT SOME POINT WE ALREADY CO
PRODUCED 40% OF OUR EXPORTS OUT
OF NORTH AMERICA WOULD MAKE. THE
SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU KNOW THE
FOCUS ON THIS PARTICULAR AREA.
IS CRITICAL STRATEGICALLY TO
CALIFORNIA'S YOU KNOW FUTURE
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. OF THE
INTERESTED IN SOME COMMENT WITH
RESPECT TO THAT. SURE I GO
BUSINESS IN THE PROCESS OF
IMPLEMENTING VARIOUS CROSS
BORDER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
ACTIVITIES AND PROJECTS WITH
MEXICAN COUNTERPARTS. ACTIVITIES
ARE INTENDED TO SUPPORT AND
PROMOTE THE CALIFORNIA MEXICO
RELATIONSHIP AND TO DEVELOP OR
EXPAND BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS. WE'VE

ESPECIALLY AS YOUR- DISTRICT
COVERS- LIKE YOU SAID THE
MEXICAN BORDER. YEAH AND I JUST
RAPPER I MEAN I THINK THAT THE
DIALOGUE IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT.
BILAD UNDERSTANDING IS IMPORTANT
THE INTERACTION IS IMPORTANT BUT
WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THIS MEMBER
ULTIMATELY. WITH SOME
FRUSTRATION IS TO GET TO REALLY
UNDERSTAND THE TWENTY FIRST
CENTURY STRATEGIC PRIORITIES.
THAT CAN ACTUALLY HAVE SOME
ACTUAL FORM- AND SUBSTANCE- THAT
THAT THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR
BILATERAL COORDINATION. TO
ACHIEVE A SPECIFIC OUTCOME.
THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS TO JUST A
WERE DOING OF TRIPS. WE'RE
TALKING TO PEOPLE TIME THAT
STORY'S BEEN GOING ON IN THIS
REGION FOR THIRTY FORTY YEARS.
AND THERE'S STILL A LOT OF UNMET
DEMAND SO THAT WOULD BE. I COME
AND ALSO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR.
MAKING THE OFFER MY OFFICE SEVEN
INDIVIDUAL MORE IN DEPTH BRIEF I
HOPE TO MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO
OTHER MEMBERS SUB IF THEY'RE SO
INCLINED SO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
THE CENTER CABALLERO- THAT THAT
BRINGS UP ANOTHER ISSUE THERE
USED TO BE A AN ORGANIZATION
THAT WAS THE U. S. MEXICO BORDER
STATES. ORGAN DOES THAT'S EXIST
IN ART BECAUSE THAT'S- THAT
SHOULD BE DEVELOPING THAT. AND
THAT. THE TASKS THAT EACH STATE
IS GONNA TAKE IN REGARDS TO OUR-
THEIR RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE. AT
THE BORDER IN IN PARTICULAR- ONE
OF MY INTEREST IS AS WE START
TALKING ABOUT THE COLORADO RIVER
AND- NOT TAKING WATER OUT OF THE
COLORADO RIVER. THAT REALLY
IMPACTS MIX BUTTER MEN DISLEY
BUT BUT IT ALSO. THE FACT THAT
WE HAVE BEEN PUTTING UP BARRIERS
BARRIERS AT THE BORDER AFFECTS-
NATURAL RESOURCES WHICH MEANS-
THAT. ANIMALS GOING. NORTH AND
SOUTH AND MIGRATIONS AND ALL
THAT KIND OF GOOD STUFF SO. I'M
I'M NOT SURE IF THAT THE- IT
WAYS IT WAS WANING AT ONE POINT
AND I'M HOPING THAT IT STILL
CONTINUES. BECAUSE THERE IS SOME
PRETTY GOOD GOALS SET IN IN THAT
. IN THAT ORGANIZATION. WHETHER
THE ANYBODY'S REALLY DOING
ANYTHING IS ANOTHER STEP. I AM
I'LL CHECK IN WITH OUR DEPUTY
DIRECTOR FOR INTERNATIONAL
AFFAIRS AND TRADE AND CIRCLE
BACK WITH YOUR OFFICE THAT WOULD
BE GREAT THANK YOU VERY MUCH
THANK YOU SIR I WOULD JUST SAY
THAT SHE WAS- I WAS AWARE THAT A
ONE TIME ISSUE WORLD WHERE.
THERE WAS SO LEGISLATIVE
COLLABORATIVE ALL BORDER STATES
WITH COMPANIONS MEDICAL. THAT
DID EXIST AS WELL AS THE
GOVERNORS OF THE BORDER STATES
AND THEIR COUNTERPARTS AND SADLY
IT'S SORT OF. WAXED AND WANED-
DEPENDING ON THE
ADMINISTRATION'S IN POWER IN THE
LEGISLATIVE BALANCE OF POWER IN
THE AND THE DIFFERENT PRIORITY
SO I THINK IT'S A REALLY GOOD
POINT TO SORT OF CHECK IN AND
UNDERSTAND WHERE ARE WE WITH
THAT BECAUSE THOSE. THOSE KINDS
OF US THAT'S OF INFRASTRUCTURE
REALLY COULD FACILITATE THE
RIGHT KIND OF COLLABORATION. I
WITHOUT ANY OTHER COMMENT THIS

FROM. GIRLS ALL OF OUR OF
FINANCE NOTICED COME OUT OF THE
TIME. HELLO WE DON'T. HAVE IN
THIS WITH THE THIS FOR WE THINK
IT. IS WARRANTED GIVE THE X. OF
THE SCOPE AND SCALE OF THE
NUMBER OF PROGRAMS THAT THE
DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN ASKED TO
MINISTER OF THE LAST COUPLE
YEARS BUT WE- WOULD SUGGEST THAT
IT IS KIND OF IMPORTANT CONTEXT
TO KEEP IN MIND. AS YOU CONSIDER
SOME OF THESE OTHER PROPOSALS TO
ADD ADDITIONAL NEW PROGRAMS OR
EFFORTS WITHIN GOBIZ. BOTH ON
THIS AGENDA AND MAYBE PERHAPS
GOING FORWARD THAT YOU KNOW THIS
IS A THIS B. C. B. AS A DOWNTURN
CONSEQUENCE OF ADDING THE THAT
ADDITIONAL COMPLEXITY AND NUMBER
PROGRAMS TO GO BUSINESS PLATE.
AND JUST KEEPING IN MIND THAT IF
WE CONTINUE TO LAY ON TO THAT
THERE ARE THESE ADDITIONAL KIND
OF DOWNSTREAM ADMINISTRATIVE AND
OTHER KINDS OF COSTS THAT WILL
NEED TO BE. TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
CONSIDERED- AND YOU KNOW AND
PERHAPS THAT YOU KNOW ESPECIALLY
AS- CENTER CABALLERO MENTIONED
GIVEN THE KIND OF CONSTRAINED
RESOURCE ENVIRONMENT THAT MIGHT.
MAKE YOU BE MAYBE A LITTLE MORE
CRITICAL ABOUT THE LONG THE
POTENTIAL LONGSTANDING VALUE OF
SOME OF THESE NEW IDEAS- THAT
MAY BE ADDED ON TO GO BUSINESS
PLAY GOING FORWARD. THANK YOU
BRING BACK TO SUB A CENTENNIAL.
THIS SKEWS ME IT SEEMS LIKE-
CONTINUATION OF THE THEME. I IN
THIS ADMINISTRATION GENERALLY
NOT JUST GO BILLS BUT- LAST WEEK
WE TALKED ABOUT I'M- THE
HOMELESSNESS PROGRAMS. AND WE
HAVE- I THINK THIRTY TWO OF THEM
AND COUNTING. AND HOMELESSNESS
IS GETTING WORSE. WE HAD-
SEVERAL- BUDGET COMMITTEE-
INFORMATIONAL HEARINGS- COUPLE
MONTHS AGO. AND IN JUST ABOUT
EVERY AREA THAT WE- RECEIVE
PRESENTATIONS. THERE IS BEEN AN
INCREASE IN PROGRAMS. I'VE BEEN
DURING THE INFORMATIONAL-
HEARINGS I COULDN'T KEEP UP
WITH. HOW MANY DIFFERENT
PROGRAMS THERE WERE AND WHAT
EACH OF THEM DID GETTING TO THE
POINT OF. SENATOR CAFIERO AND A
COUPLE ITEMS AGO ABOUT THE
CONCERN OF GROWTH IN GOVERNMENT
. SPECIALLY WITH THE REVENUES
DECLINING. MAYBE IT'S TIME TO
CALL TIMEOUT AND TAKE A LOOK AT
WHAT WE HAVE DONE AND WHETHER OR
NOT IT'S WORTH CONTINUING I EACH
ONE OF THESE. PROGRAMS SAYS
THEY'RE AFFECTED LESS. THANK YOU
CENTER CENTER KABIR THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR WELL THE ONLY THING
I WOULD ADD TO THAT IN. I'VE
ALREADY MADE MY COMMENT ABOUT.
WHETHER THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO
GROW GOVERNMENT OR NOT AND I AM
SENSITIVE TO THE FACT THAT. AS
AS WE ADD MORE THINKS IS
EVERYBODY'S GOT A GREAT IDEA
EXCEPT FOR THAT AT ALL COSTS IS
THAT WE NEED TO START LOOKING AT
WAYS THAT WE CAN CONSOLIDATE.
AND MAKE THINGS A LITTLE BIT
MORE IF MORE EFFICIENT- EVERY
SINGLE DEPARTMENT HAS A CLIMATE
CHANGE UNIT. AND THE DIFFICULTY
WITH THAT IS THAT IT. FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE IS WITH F. F. A
COUPLE OF EXCEPTIONS- WE SHOULD
HAVE AN ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY
ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO REACH
OUR CLIMATE CHANGE GOALS AND
THEN. YOU KNOW AIR WATER AND- E.
P. H. SHOULD HAVE CLIMATE CHANGE
AND- THAT'S IT SO WE START
REPLICATING. THINGS OVER AND
OVER AGAIN AND THIS AGAIN THIS
IS NOT. THIS IS NOT GERMANE TO
THE FACT THAT YOU NEED
ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS AND YET
AND IT THEY'RE PROBABLY. A MUCH
NEEDED AS EVERYBODY EVERYBODY
THINKS BACK ON. BUT WHY WE NEED
THE- AND THE MANY START NAMING
THESE PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THESE
UNICO- MY GOSH ALL THE WORK THAT
WE'RE DOING BUT AS ZERO EMISSION
VEHICLE MARKET DEVELOPMENT UNIT.
WHEN WE ALREADY HAVE. WE'RE
DOING- WE'RE DOING THAT IN THE
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR ALL OF
TRANSPORTATION. I'M GRAND SEIKO
OUT. OR THROUGH THE EPA FOR THAT
MATTER ANYWAY IT JUST SEEMS TO
ME LIKE WE'RE REPRODUCING ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT WE WERE TRYING
TO DO BACK IN THE DAY WAS TO
FIGURE OUT. HOW WE CAN
CONSOLIDATE SERVICES SO. SO
THAT- WE GET BETTER BEST VALUE
SO THAT EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT
DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE- THE SAME
SERVICES OVER AND OVER AND OVER
AGAIN AND THEN THERE WAS NO.
THERE WAS NO COORDINATION AND I
THINK PART OF THAT WAS TO PLAY
BUT THE SERVICE IS INDEED YES
AND THEN YOU CONTACT FORM. AND
I'M JUST WONDERING I THINK WE'RE
GONNA HAVE TO LOOK AND DECIDE
CAN WE REALLY AFFORD TO BE DOING
ALL THESE THINGS- WITHOUT THEM
BEING COORDINATING WITHOUT THEM
COORDINATING WITH EACH OTHER AND
THEN THE MINUTE WE SAY YOU
SHOULD COORDINATE. THEN YOU NEED
MORE STAFF TO BE ABLE TO COURT.
I'M JUST CONCERNED WITH THE
GROWTH OF THAT. OKAY THANK YOU
SIR APPRECIATE THOSE COMMENTS
AND CONCURSO INTERNAL JUST ONE
MORE QUICK COMMENT ABOUT. GREAT
IDEAS- EVERYBODY HAS A GREAT
IDEA. BUT UNFORTUNATELY NOT
EVERYBODY ELSE NECESSARILY
AGREES. THAT THE OTHER GREAT
IDEA IS GREATER THAN THEIR GREAT
I'D- AND IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF
FLESH FUNDING. WE TAKE A MALL.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE A LOT OF
MONEY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SET
PRIORITIES. AND THAT'S WHERE
WE'VE BEEN IN THE LAST FIVE
YEARS AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE
WE'RE NOT RIGHT NOW. IS THAT
GOOD COMMENT. THANK YOU CENTER
ALWAYS GOOD TO REITERATE THAT
YOU KNOW. I THINK THERE'S A LOT
OF LEGITIMACY AND LOOKING EVEN
HERE WITH GO BIZ ALONE LOOKING
AT. CERTAIN MACRO STRATEGIC
LANDS AT THE GROWTH IN THE
APARTMENT FROM A STRATEGIC
STANDPOINT NOT JUST TAKING A
PROGRAM A PROGRAM. OF THE KAISER
MAY BE. UNNECESSARY DUPLICATION
AND IF WE CAN SAVE ON THAT YOU
CAN INCREASE EFFECTIVENESS OF
OTHER MORE STRATEGICALLY FOCUSED
THINGS ARE THINGS THAT HAVE A
HIGHER PRIORITY AND THAT'S
ALWAYS SOMETHING TO CONTINUOUSLY
BE EVALUATING OR SO. I WITHOUT
ANY OTHER COMMENT THAT'LL BE
HELD WILL COME TO ITEMS- ISSUE
TWENTY FOUR WHICH IS MADE
CALIFORNIA PROGRAM RELAUNCH.
BERMAN PLEASE PROCEED WHENEVER
YOU'RE READY. IN AGAIN STATE
YOUR NAME AND TITLE FOR THE
RECORD.
GOOD MORNING. HI MY NAME IS
CAROLYN CRAIN I AM DIRECTOR OF
CALIFORNIA'S OFFICE OF THE SMALL
BUSINESS. ADVOCATES ON. THE
CALIFORNIA MADE B. C. P. BEFORE
YOU REQUEST ONE POINT FIVE THREE
FOUR MILLION. GENERAL FUND IN
TWENTY TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR
TO BE SPENT OVER THREE YEARS TO
PILOT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
MADE IN CALIFORNIA PROGRAM HELLO
S. B. A. ALSO REQUEST STATUTORY
CHANGES TO INCREASE PROGRAM
PARTICIPATION CALIFORNIA MADE IS
NOT A NEW PROGRAM IT WAS
ESTABLISHED TEN YEARS AGO WITH
THE GOAL OF SUPPORTING IN STATE
MANUFACTURING AND INCREASING
CONSUMER AWARENESS OF CALIFORNIA
MADE PRODUCTS. DUE TO OVERLY
RESTRICTIVE STATUTE REQUIREMENTS
ONLY TWO FIRMS TO DATE HAVE
QUALIFIED FOR CALIFORNIA NEED
CERTIFICATION SINCE THE
PROGRAM'S LAUNCH THE BUSINESS
HELLO STA HAS SPENT TIME WORKING
WITH CALIFORNIA MANUFACTURERS ON
WHAT CHANGES COULD BE MADE TO
THIS PROGRAM TO MAKE IT MORE
SUCCESSFUL. AT THREE FOCUS
GROUPS AND SURVEYS WE'VE BEEN
ABLE TO PINPOINT THREE CHANGES
THAT WE THINK CAN MAKE THE
PROGRAM MORE SUCCESSFUL ONE I
REDUCE THE COST AND COMPLEXITY
OF CERTIFYING THAT THEY ARE
CALIFORNIA MADE RIGHT NOW ALL
CERTIFICATION REQUIRES A THIRD
PARTY VERIFICATION WHICH IS
COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING. TO
REMOVE THE ADDITIONAL MADE IN
USA RECURRENT REQUIREMENT THAT
PREVENTS MAJORITY OF CALIFORNIA
MANUFACTURERS FROM BEING ABLE TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM
GLOBAL SHIFTING SUPPLY CHAINS
MAKE IT HARD FOR SMALL
BUSINESSES TO ENSURE THAT
THEY'RE ALWAYS MEETING THE
NINETY FIVE PERCENT. THAT IS
BASED IN THE UNITED STATES AND
THREE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL VALUE
TO PARTICIPATING BUSINESSES IN
THE FORM OF NETWORKING TRADE
SHOWS MARKETING AND PROMOTION
THESE CHANGES WOULD BRING
CALIFORNIA MADE IN LINE WITH
SUCCESSFUL MEETING PROGRAMS
FOUND IN MANY OTHER STATES. I'M
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND
WE'RE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
COMMENTS FROM DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE CHARLES ALL DEPARTMENT
FINANCE COMMENTS AT THIS TIME
YOU L. L. AS THE AS THE
DEPARTMENTS AND- THE THIS IS AN
EXISTING PROGRAM AND TO DATE HAS
SAID VERY LOW UPTAKE- AND SO I
THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY THAT THE
PROGRAM SO FAR HAS NOT BEEN. A
SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVING ITS GOAL OF
FURTHER. ALTHOUGH THE DEPARTMENT
HAS NOTED THERE ARE HANDFUL
OTHER STATES THAT DO HAVE A
PROGRAMS OF THIS TYPE WE HAVEN'T
SEEN. ANY YOU KNOW NECESSARILY
GOOD EVIDENCE THAT THOSE
PROGRAMS ARE ACTUALLY EFFECTIVE
IN ACHIEVING THEIR GOALS THIS
THE SIMPLE EXISTENCE. OF THE
PROGRAMS- IT ISN'T ISN'T US
ENOUGH EVIDENCE THAT THEY ARE
ACTUALLY EFFECTIVE- THE CHANGES
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION. IS
PROPOSING TO PERHAPS EXPAND
UPTAKE OF THE PROGRAM WE DO
THINK. ESPECIALLY ALLOWING SELF
ATTESTATION WOULD INCREASE
UPTAKE ARE WE DO HAVE SOME
CONCERN ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT
THAT THE PROGRAM WOULD STILL BE
PROVIDING A MEANINGFUL VALUE TO
CONSUMERS. ARE THAT THEY CAN BE
ENSURE THAT THEY ARE GETTING
SOME SORT OF INCREASE THE
QUALITY PRODUCT THAT REALLY DOES
HAVE SOMETHING THAT WOULD
CONSIDER TO BE MADE IN
CALIFORNIA- AND SO. GIVEN KIND
OF THIS. UNCERTAINTY ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT THIS REALLY WOULD
BE INEFFECTIVE INVESTING RIGHT
NOW AND MAYBE EVEN- LOOKING BACK
AT THE COMMENTS I MADE ON ON THE
LAST ITEM ABOUT BEING A LITTLE
BIT MORE CRITICAL OF EXPANDING
THE PORTFOLIO OF EFFORTS OF THE
DEPARTMENT. WE WOULD SUGGEST THE
GIVEN THE KIND OF FISCAL
CONDITION RIGHT NOW THAT THIS IS
A PROPOSAL OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE
CONSIDER REJECTING. THE MOMENTUM
IN. THE CENTER NHÀ. THANK YOU. I
MUST CONFESS I'M ALWAYS A BIT
SKEPTICAL OF THESE BY ONLY
WHATEVER PROGRAMS. IN THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION- SIGNIFICANT
TARIFFS WERE PUT ON- STUDENT
STEALING ALUMINUM THOSE WERE NOT
BY ONLY AMERICA PROGRAMS BUT
THEY WERE FUNCTIONALLY THE SAME
THING. AND IT CREATED A LOWER
SUPPLY AND INCREASED PRICES AND
PROFITABILITY. OF LOCAL
COMPANIES AT TO THE EXPENSE OF
THOSE- THAT THAT. AND
PARTICULARLY OTHER BUSINESSES.
THAT CONSUME THOSE PRODUCTS. TO
BUY ONLY CALIFORNIA WILL SERVE
TO. REDUCE COMPETITION. FOR THE-
LIMITED CHOICES THAT RESULT. AND
I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE WOULD BE
AND I THINK. MANUFACTURERS AND
OTHER BUSINESSES WOULD
WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH WHAT
I'M ABOUT TO SAY THAT THEIR
SUCCESS WOULD BE MUCH BETTER
SERVED IF WE LOWERED THE
REGULATORY BURDEN ON THEM. NOT A
BUDGET ISSUE BUT IT CERTAINLY IS
AN ISSUE THAT RELATES TO THIS
PARTICULAR PROGRAM PARTICULARLY
SINCE IT'S- EVIDENTLY NOT SO
SUCCESSFUL. THANK YOU CENTER I
WOULD JUST YOU KNOW BRIEFLY ADD
THAT. UNDERSTANDING WE WANT TO
TAKE PRIDE IN PRODUCTION
OCCURRING IN OUR GREAT STATE THE
REALITY SHOULD BE DRIVEN BY SOME
REAL SOLID EMPIRICAL DATA THAT
SUGGESTS THAT WE CAN DISCERN ON
THE CONSUMER AND DEMAND SIDE. OF
PRODUCTS PRODUCED HERE THAT
THERE'S AN ADDED VALUE WITH THAT
KNOWLEDGE IN THE IN THE
ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH WE OPERATE
RIGHT THERE'S A WHOLE PROCESS
THIRD PARTY CERTIFICATION TO GET
MADE IN USA STATUS. SEEMS TO BE
MORE FAMILIAR TO MOST FOLKS IN
ANY STADIUM HERE IN CALIFORNIA
AND THE DEGREE TO WHICH AN ADDED
DISTINCTION THE SAYS YES IT'S
MADE IN CALIFORNIA HAS SOME
MARKET IMPACT. OR SOME CONSUMER
ACTUAL IMPACT ENGINES TERMS OF.
HELPING TO IMPROVE THE VALUE OF
THE BRAND OR TO INCREASE
CONSUMPTION. THIS MEMBER SEEMS
NOT REALLY CLEAR. ALL RIGHT THAT
ANY OTHER COMMENT THAT ONLY HELD
AND WILL MOVE TO- ISSUE TWENTY
FIVE. OF AND SMALL BUSINESS

YOU VERY MUCH.

WE NEED TO LOOK A LITTLE BIT AND
OUTPUTS. CHAU WHAT HAS THE
RESULT OF THOSE INVESTMENTS
BEEN. WHAT HAVE THE SUCCESS OF
THE BUSINESSES INTO WHICH THOSE
INVESTMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE- IS
OR HAS BEEN. SO IF I MAY ADDRESS
THE- INPUTS FIRST. I'M IT IS
NOTEWORTHY THAT THIS PROGRAM WAS
OVER SUBSCRIBED. I'M AND IT IS
THAT WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY SIX
HUNDRED TWO APPLICANTS FOR THIS
PROGRAM I'M WHICH INDICATES THE
HIGH DEMAND FROM THE SMALL
BUSINESS COMMUNITY SPEAKING
SPECIFICALLY TO THE OUTPUT OF
THE PROGRAM. I'M WE ARE
DOCUMENTING ARE THE SUCCESS OF
THIS PROGRAM THROUGH SUCCESS
STORIES. FROM FOLKS THAT HAVE
PARTICIPATED I'M AND WE I'M I'M
VERY HAPPY TO SHARE THEM MANY.
IMPACTFUL STORIES THAT WE HAVE
COLLECTED FROM THE TECHNICAL

ADD TO THAT THOSE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE CENTERS JUST RECENTLY
DID A PROFESSIONAL. I
DEVELOPMENT- ADDON PROGRAM THIS
WEEK I LED BY THAT FIVE I'M
CALIFORNIA SPDC LEADS AND
ATTENDED BY MORE THAN A HUNDRED
TA PROFESSIONALS ACROSS THE
NETWORK AND THEY OVERWHELMINGLY
EXPRESSED ON THE SUPPORT FOR THE
DREAM RUN PROGRAM AND A DESIRE
TO SEE THE PROGRAM CONTINUE.
BECAUSE OF THE ABILITY TO WORK
ONE ON ONE WITH THE BUSINESSES
AND TO ENSURE VIENEN EN NET
BUSINESS FORMATION AT THE VERY
BEGINNING MOST SMALL BUSINESSES
GO ON IT WHAT WE CALL THE
ENTREPRENEUR'S JOURNEY. AND IT
RARELY GET INTERVENTION AT THE
BEGINNING OF THAT JOURNEY MOST
OF THE TIME THEY'RE AT STEP
THREE FOUR FIVE LOOKING FOR
CAPITAL AND THEY HAVEN'T EVEN
DONE FORMATION AND LEGAL AND
ACCOUNTING- ON THE- WORK THAT
NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CREATE THE
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE BUSINESS.
THIS PROGRAM. TURNED IT DOT
NORMAL CYCLE ON ITS- WE-
INCREASES THE WHITE. OF SUCCESS
FOR THE BEST. WHO HAVE. BECAUSE
THEY ARE GETTING A SOLID
FOUNDATION AFTER START RATHER
THAN GETTING HOPE SOMEWHERE
FURTHER DOWN THE JOURNEY. VERY
GOOD POINTS AND DIAB THAT IN
FACT IS WHAT HAPPENS IN VENTURE
INVESTING THE- OF VENTURE FUNDS.
AND A VENTURE INVESTORS DON'T
JUST INVEST IN FIRMS BUT THEY
ACTUALLY HELP THE FIRMS TO HELP

ARE REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE
CALIFORNIA MILITARY DEPARTMENT
CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL. AND
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT TECHNOLOGY
WHO ARE PART OF THE CAL SICK IS
REFERRED TO AS KIND OF OUR CORE
FOR ENTITIES OF THAT. WHILE
CALVET IS DOING TREMENDOUS WORK
IN EXECUTING ITS MISSION OUR
RESOURCING REMAINS WELL BELOW
WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR IT TO MEET
ITS THE INTENT SUPPORT BY THE
LEGISLATURE GIVEN THAT OUR
STATUTORY RESPONSIBILITIES
CONTINUE TO GROW. IN A THREE
YEAR FUNDING COMMITMENT THE
LEGISLATOR MADE IN TWENTY TWENTY
IS SET TO EXPIRE THIS JUNE THE
NEED FOR NEW BUDGETARY SUPPORT
IS THAT MUCH MORE CRITICAL. OUR
CURRENT BUDGET PROPOSAL FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION BUILT UPON THAT
PREVIOUS FUNDING COMMITMENT WITH
MINIMAL INCREASE CONSIDERING THE
THREAT ENVIRONMENT AND OUR ON
GOING WORK LOAD IN STATUTORY
RESPONSIBILITIES. FOR
DEPARTMENTS THAT I PREVIOUSLY
MENTIONED ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
PROGRAM ARE JOINTLY REQUEST AND
THIRTY EIGHT I'M SORRY TWENTY
EIGHT POINT SEVEN MILLION
GENERAL FUND. ONGOING AND
SEVENTEEN POSITIONS TO MAKE
PERMANENT THE TEMPORARY
RESOURCES AUTHORIZED IN FISCAL
YEAR TWENTY TWENTY TO TWENTY
TWENTY ONE AND ENHANCING
RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THE
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CAL SIX.
PERMIT RESOURCES WILL CONTINUE
ARE ESTABLISHED IN CORE STAFFING
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE WHICH
INCLUDES THREE BRANCHES. THESE
THREE BRANCHES INCLUDE ONE OUR
CYBER OPERATIONS BRANCH WHICH IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR INCIDENT
RESPONSE AND IN CYBER FORENSICS.
SECOND THE CYBER INCIDENT
CYBERTHREAT INTELLIGENCE BRANCH
WHICH LEVERAGES INFORMATION
SOURCES FROM OUR FEDERAL STATE.
ALONG WITH OUR COMMERCIAL FEES
TO STAY ABREAST OF CURRENT AND
EMERGING SERVICE THREATS. AND
THREE THE MISSION SUPPORT BRANCH
WHICH PROVIDES VARIOUS
PROFESSIONAL AND UNIQUE I. T.
SERVICES WHICH ENABLE THE OTHER
TWO BRANCHES TO PERFORM AND
FOCUS ON THEIR CORE MISSIONS.
ALONG WITH OUR FORMING OUR
INITIAL OUR ORGANIZATION
CALIFORNIA HAS EXPERIENCED
NUMEROUS CYBER INCIDENTS AND
THROUGH LESSONS LEARNED WE HAVE
EMBARKED ON SEVERAL KEY
INITIATIVES TO IMPROVE STATEWIDE
CYBERSECURITY. AND THESE INCLUDE
AN OPERATIONAL TECHNOLOGY LAB
WHICH ENABLES US TO STUDY AND
PREPARE FOR SPECIFIC THREATS TO
CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN AN
ISOLATED AND PROTECTED
ENVIRONMENT. A CYBER FORENSIC
COMPUTER LAB TO ANALYZE
COMPROMISED HARDWARE AND
MAINTAIN CHAIN OF CUSTODY THIS
FORENSIC LAB ENABLES US TO PRO
TO PROCESS DIGITAL EVIDENCE. TO
SUPPORT ON GOING LAW ENFORCEMENT
INVESTIGATIONS AND TO DEVELOP
CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE VIA
FORENSIC IDENTIFICATION OF
INDICATORS OF COMPROMISE THE
NEW. MALWARE VARIANTS A ROBUST
CYBERSECURITY INTELLIGENCE
CAPABILITY ALLOWING US TO SHARE
CYBERTHREAT INTELLIGENCE WITH
PARTNER AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY
STAKEHOLDERS ACROSS THE STATE.
THE CELTIC IS ALSO DIRECTLY
SUPPORTED OUR STATE'S ELECTION
SECURITY TASK FORCE BY
PERFORMING VULNERABILITY
ASSESSMENTS TO ALL FIFTY EIGHT
COUNTIES AND THEIR ELECTION
COMPUTER SYSTEMS. CALIFORNIA
CYBER RISK CONTINUES TO GROW AND
ARE THREATENED FIREMAN IS
GETTING MORE COMPLEX. IN OUR
TWENTY TWENTY TWO DATA FROM THE
CALIFORNIA CYBER INCIDENT
REPORTING SYSTEM OR CAL
CAESAR'S. THOSE NUMBERS SHOW
THAT THE NUMBER OF CYBER EVENTS
IN TWENTY TWENTY WAS TWO
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY
ONE AN INCREASE OF 21% FROM
TWENTY TWENTY ONE. AND AN
INCREASE OF TWO HUNDRED AND 2%
FROM TWENTY TWENTY CYBER
INCIDENTS THAT WERE RECEIVED
FROM OTHER SOURCES WERE UP 14%
YEAR OVER YEAR. RANSOMWARE
INCIDENTS AND DATA BREACHES WERE
BY FAR THE MOST FREQUENT
ACCOUNTED 435% AND 34%
RESPECTIVELY ACROSS ALL CYBER
INCIDENTS IN CALIFORNIA IN
TWENTY TWENTY TWO. WE ANTICIPATE
THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS WILL
CONTINUE TO CLIMB ANYWHERE FROM
5212% YEAR OVER YEAR GIVEN THE
CYST ARTICLE TRENDS. THE MAN FOR
KELSEY SERVICES EVOLVES. ALSO
HAVE ALSO VASTLY OUTPACED OUR
RESOURCING SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE
CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE
SERVICES HAVE SHOWN A 54% 292%
ANNUAL INCREASE SINCE TWENTY
TWENTY. AND UNPRECEDENTED DEMAND
WHICH HAS EXHAUSTED OUR CURRENT
CAPABILITIES IN THIS CAPACITY
AND FROM TWENTY TWENTY ONE TO
TWENTY TWENTY TWO OUR INCIDENT
RESPONSE IS CONDUCTED BY OUR
CYBER OPERATIONS BRANCH ROADS
ROSE BY DRAMATIC 48% AS IT
STANDS NOW DESPITE HAVING THE
HIGHEST CYBER SECURITY RISK
PROFILE IN THE NATION CALIFORNIA
RANKS TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE
LIST OF TERMS A PER CAPITA. RATE
OF INVESTMENT IN CYBER SECURITY
STATES LIKE NORTH CAROLINA NEW
JERSEY ARIZONA AND NEW YORK ARE
ALL INVESTING SIGNIFICANTLY
HIGHER RATES OF PER CAPITA THAN
IN OUR STATE. OUR PROPOSAL

PRIORITIZE POSITION GROWTH
CENTRAL TO PERFORM SERVICES AT A
LEVEL COMMENSURATE WITH
CALIFORNIA'S RISK. AND ADDRESS
CRITICAL CYBER SECURITY
INFORMATION SECURITY GAPS THANK
YOU. THANK YOU ARE THEIR
COMMENTS FROM BERMAN FINANCE.
HAS YOUR CONTACT THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE NO ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS AT THIS TIME THANK YOU
OIL. GOOD MORNING BRIAN METZGER
WITH THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S
OFFICE- WE RECOMMEND THE
LEGISLATURE APPROVED FUNDING FOR
CAL SICK TO MAKE PERMANENT
TWENTY THREE EXISTING POSITIONS
APPROVED IN TWENTY TWENTY TWENTY
TWENTY ONE. HOWEVER WE ALSO
RECOMMEND THE LEGISLATURE
DIRECTED CAL SICK TO REPORT BACK
TO THE LEGISLATURE ON WHAT NEW
FUNDING AND POSITIONS ARE MOST
CRITICAL TO FURTHERING CAL SIX
MISSION. WE UNDERSTAND THAT CAL
SICK VIEWS ALL REQUESTED FUNDING
AND POSITIONS AS PRIORITIES FOR
CALSONIC BUT THE CURRENT BUDGET
PROBLEM REQUIRES THE LEGISLATURE
TO DECIDE WHAT ACTIVITIES
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES ACROSS
DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS. MOST
ALIGNED WITH LEGISLATIVE GOALS
AND PRIORITIES THE ABSENCE OF
ANY PRIORITIZATION HERE MAKES
THOSE DISCUSSIONS MORE DIFFICULT
AND LIMITS THE ABILITY OF THE
LEGISLATURE TO CONSIDER A
SMALLER AMOUNTS OF FUNDING OR
POSITIONS. IF THESE REQUESTED
GENERAL FUND RESOURCES ARE
NEEDED TO ADDRESS THE MEDIA
BUDGET PROBLEM. WE ALSO
RECOMMEND THE LEGISLATURE ADOPT
PROVISIONAL BUDGET BILL LANGUAGE
THAT CONDITIONS ANY NEW FUNDING
OR POSITIONS ON SPECIFIC AND
MEASURABLE GOALS AND OUTCOMES.
THESE GOALS AND OUTCOMES WOULD
ALLOW THE LEGISLATURE TO BETTER
HOLD THE ADMINISTRATION
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE USE OF THESE
RESOURCES TO IMPROVE STATE
ENTITIES INFORMATION SECURITY
DEFENSES AND PREPAREDNESS. THIS
RECOMMENDATION FOR MORE
ACCOUNTABILITY AND REPORTING ON
STATE INFORMATION SECURITY
ACTIVITIES IS CONSISTENT WITH
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS WE HAVE
PROVIDED TO THE LEGISLATURE
ABOUT INFORMATION SECURITY
PROPOSALS MORE BROADLY THAT ARE
INCLUDED IN THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET. OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
INCLUDE ANNUAL REPORTING ON THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STATE'S
FIRST FIVE YOUR INFORMATION
SECURITY ROAD MAP CAL SECURE. A
MORE STANDARDIZED APPROACH TO
THE DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION IN
SUPPORT OF INFORMATION SECURITY
BUDGET PROPOSALS. IN THE
PRIORITIZATION OF INFORMATION
SECURITY SERVICES FOR SHARED
SERVICE CONTRACTS THAT ARE
PROCURED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
TECHNOLOGY WHERE THE
SUBCOMMITTEE TO BE INTERESTED IN
SOME OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS
ALONGSIDE INDIVIDUAL PROPOSAL
ACTIONS I'M OUR OFFICE WOULD BE
HAPPY TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE. THANK YOU DEPARTMENT
FINANCE. THANK YOU TAKE YOUR
COMPACT APARTMENT OF FINANCE I
WOULD JUST LIKE TO NOTE FOR THE
RECORD THAT THE ADMINISTRATION
DOES CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THEIR
REQUEST AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY
PROPOSED. IN THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET RECOGNIZING THAT CALLAWAY
YES REQUESTED GROWTH WAS
CONSERVATIVE COMPARED TO THE
EXPANDING CYBER THREAT THAT THE
STATE IS FACING. AND THAT THE
POSITIONS ORIGINALLY REQUESTED
REFLECTED THE PRIORITIZATION OF
THE MOST CRITICAL FUNCTIONS OF
THE CELTIC. YEAH ALL RIGHT- WILL
BRING IT TO THE SUB. ENTER YOUR
- JUST. VERY BRIEF COMMENT I-
GOALS AND OUTCOMES- AS YOU CAN
TELL BY PREVIOUS COMMENTS I MADE
IS VERY IMPORTANT. BUT- ACRONYMS
ARE IMPORTANT AND I JUST HAVE TO
MAKE THE OBSERVATION THAT USING
THE WORD SICK. HOW CAN A ACRONYM
MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST THING YOU
DON'T NEED DANCER THAT. THANK
YOU CENTER AND JUST A- JUST
EIGHTY OBVIOUSLY CRITICAL
OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE. NOT ALL
OF WHICH IS FRANKLY APPROPRIATE
FOR THE BUDGET POLICY
DISCUSSION- UNDERSTAND THE
REQUEST -HINK
INTERNAL CHALLENGES- AND SO
APPRECIATE YOUR TESTIMONY- THIS
ITEM. IS RECOMMENDED BE HELD
OPEN THAT'LL MOVE US- TO- ITEM
TWENTY IN NINE I BELIEVE. WHICH
IS SCHOOL CYBER SECURITY AB
TWENTY THREE FIFTY FIVE. YEAH
THE NEXT PROPOSAL ON YOUR AGENDA
IS A REQUEST FOR FIVE POINT FOUR
MILLION GENERAL FUND AND
SEVENTEEN POSITIONS SEVEN
POSITIONS A CALLAWAY YES FIVE
POSITIONS AT CDG AND FIVE
POSITIONS THE CALIFORNIA
MILITARY MILITARY DEPARTMENT. TO
IMPLEMENT AB TWENTY THREE FORTY
FIVE AND TELL THE REPEAL DATE OF
JANUARY FIRST TWO THOUSAND
TWENTY SEVEN. A SMALLER AMOUNT
OF THREE POINT NINE MILLION
GENERAL FUND IS PROPOSED FROM
TWO THOUSAND TWENTY FOUR THROUGH
TWO THOUSAND TWENTY SIX TWENTY
SEVEN. MR OSBORNE WILL AGAIN
DESCRIBED THE PROPOSAL. THANK
YOU ERIC OUR SECOND RIPPLES FOR
YOUR CONSIDERATION RELATES TO
RESOURCING FOR THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF SOME ASSEMBLY
BILL TWENTY THREE FIFTY FIVE
WHICH REQUIRES THE CALIFORNIA
CYBERSECURITY INTEGRATION CENTER
HER. ZACKS REPORTS CYBER
ATTACKS- SOME- SUBMITTED BY A
LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCIES ARE
REFER TO THOSE AS ELLIE AS AND
TO PREPARE AND REPORT TO THE
GOVERNOR AND RELEVANT POLICY
COMMITTEES OF THE LEGISLATURE
THAT INCLUDES SUMMARIES OF THE
TYPES AND NUMBERS OF CYBER
ATTACKS ON ELEAZER. DATA
BREACHES REPORTED TO THE TOURNEY
GENERAL AND ANY ACTIVITIES
PROVIDED BY THE CAL STICK TO
PREVENT OR RESPOND TO SUCH
CYBERATTACKS OR DATA BREACHES-
WITHIN CALIFORNIA'S FIFTY EIGHT
COUNTIES ARE OVER ONE THOUSAND
SCHOOL DISTRICTS OVER TEN
THOUSAND SCHOOLS. NEARLY SIX
MILLION STUDENTS FEDERAL AND
PRIVATE SECTOR RESEARCH SHOWS
THAT CYBER THREATS TO THE K.
THROUGH TWELVE EDUCATION SECTOR.
HAVE CONTINUED TO ESCALATE SINCE
AT LEAST TWENTY EIGHTEEN SCHOOLS
IN MOST STATES HAVE REPORTED
CYBERSECURITY INCIDENTS ON THEIR
SYSTEMS. IMPACTS OF THE CYBER
ATTACKS CAN RESULT IN A THEFT OF
OUR CHILDREN'S PI WHICH THEN IS
USUALLY OFFERED FOR SALE ON THE
DARK WEB ALLOWING FOR FUTURE
VICTIMS VICTIMIZATION TO OCCUR.
ADDITIONALLY RANSOMWARE DEPLOYED
BY CYBERCRIMINALS CAN ENCRYPT
ENTIRE SCHOOL NETWORKS WHICH WE
HAVE CERTAINLY SEEN- HERE IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA INCLUDING
HVAC SYSTEMS RUNNING THEM
INOPERABLE. FOR WEEKS IF NOT
MONTHS ON AND HOT CALIFORNIA
CLIMATES. REPORTED INCIDENTS IN
THE UNITED STATES BETWEEN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN TO TWENTY TWENTY ONE
HAVE RISEN FROM FOUR HUNDRED AND
TWENTY EIGHTEEN TO AN
ACCUMULATED TOTAL TO OVER
THIRTEEN HUNDRED INCENSE IN THIS
IS A REPORT FROM DHS- SYSTEM.
ACCORDING TO A RECENT REPORT
ALSO BY THE MULTI STATE
INFORMATION SHARING AND ANALYSIS
CENTER OR MS ISAC TWENTY NINE
PERCENT. OF THE ICE SEX K.
THROUGH TWELVE SCHOOL AND
DISTRICT MEMBERS REPORTED BEING
VICTIMS OF A CYBER INCIDENT.
EVEN WITHOUT THE REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS OF AB TWENTY THREE
FIFTY FIVE THE CAL SICK OBSERVE
THE TOTAL NUMBER OF THIRTY SIX
CYBER INCIDENTS TARGETING
CALIFORNIA'S EDUCATION SECTOR IN
TWENTY TWENTY TWO. AN INCREASE
OF 33% COMPARED TO THE TWENTY
SEVEN REPORTED INCIDENTS
OBSERVED IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE.
OR SO MANY SCHOOLS IN THE STATE
WE EXPECT THAT INCREASING
AWARENESS OF AB TWENTY THREE
FIFTY FIVE. WILL CERTAINLY LEAD
TO AN EXPONENTIAL INCREASE OF
INCIDENT REPORTING TO THE STATE
MANY OF WHICH WILL LEAD TO
REQUEST FOR SUPPORT BY THE CAL
SIX. CAL SIX CERTAINLY HAS BEEN
CONCERNED THE VULNERABILITY OF
LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCIES TO
CYBERATTACKS EVEN BEFORE THE
PASSAGE OF AB TWENTY THREE FIFTY
FIVE. ALLEY AS GENERALLY HAVE
VERY LIMITED IT STAFF OR
CYBERSECURITY RESOURCES BUT
NEVERTHELESS MAINTAIN SENSITIVE
RECORDS FOR MILLIONS OF STUDENTS
ACROSS THE STATE. AND EVEN WITH
CYBER SECURITY INSURANCE
POLICIES THEY DO NOT HAVE THE
CONSISTENT STANDING
RELATIONSHIPS WITH WITH EXTERNAL
CYBERSECURITY SUPPORT RESOURCES.
THESE CHALLENGES ARE REAL AND
THEY HIGHLIGHT THE NEED FOR
CELTIC TO CONDUCT. AN EXTENSIVE
TRAINING IN OUR REGION TO THE L.
A. COMMITTED SO THAT SCHOOLS AND
LOCAL SCHOOL OFFICIALS ARE AWARE
OF SUPPORT THAT WE CAN PROVIDE.
THE FOR BUDGET PROPOSAL IS
APPROVED THE KELSEY CONTENTS TWO
ONE ESTABLISH REPORTING
MECHANISM FOR ALL CALIFORNIA
EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS. TO
PROVIDE AND HELP THEM IMPROVE
THEIR DEFENSIVE POSTURE- AND IF
NEEDED THREE CONDUCTED MORE
ROBUST ANALYSIS OF ACTIVE
THREATS AFFECTING SCHOOLS AND
FOR. RESPOND TO REQUESTS FOR
SUPPORT WAS SUFFICIENT ON SITE
RESPOND HERS TOO YOU STOP
ACTIVIDAD T'S AND CONDUCT
FORENSIC- CYBER FORENSICS- TO
PROSECUTE CYBERCRIMINALS. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU DEPARTMENT
FINANCE. I SHOULD COME BACK
DEPARTMENT FINANCE NO COMMENTS
AT THIS TIME. YOU L. L. BRIAN
METZGER L. A. WE RECOMMEND THE
LEGISLATURE ONLY APPROVED THE
RESOURCES FOR CAL SIX A PLAN
DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT THE
DATABASE THAT IS REQUIRED UNDER
AB TWENTY THREE FIFTY FIVE. I AB
TWENTY THREE FIFTY FIVE
REQUIRES- ELEAZAR TO REPORT
CYBERATTACKS THAT IMPACT FIVE
HUNDRED OR MORE STAFF OR
STUDENTS TO CAL STICK. TO
ESTABLISH A DATABASE THAT TRACKS
THESE REPORTS OF CYBERATTACKS
AND ANNUALLY REPORT THE NUMBER
AND TYPES OF CYBER ATTACKS. AND
ASSOCIATED DATA BREACHES TO THE
LEGISLATURE THIS PROPOSAL GOES
BEYOND THOSE REQUIREMENTS TO
RESPOND TO EVERY REQUEST FROM
ELLIE IS FOR ASSISTANCE PROVIDE
ON SITE INCIDENT RESPONSE. AND
ESTABLISHED A DATA SHARING
AGREEMENTS AND OTHER
ARRANGEMENTS WITHOUT LIAISE TO
INTEGRATE DATA WITH CAL SIX ALL
OF THESE ACTIVITIES HAVE MERIT-
BUT THEY ARE NOT MANDATED BY THE
BILL. FURTHERMORE MOST OF THE
REQUESTED RESOURCES ARE BASED ON
A PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES THAT IS
NOT INFORMED BY THE NUMBER OF
CYBERATTACKS REPORTED BY
ELEAZAR. THE NUMBER OF REQUESTS
FOR ASSISTANCE AMENDED BY LIAISE
AND THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS THAT
MAY REQUIRE CAL STICK TO RESPOND
UNDER AB TWENTY THREE FIFTY
FIVE. AFTER THE PUBLICATION OF
OUR ANALYSIS CAL SICK DID
PROVIDE SOME ELLIE A DATA I'M IN
SUPPORT OF THEIR PROPOSAL BUT
THE HISTORICAL DATA CANNOT
PREDICT THE RESPONSE OF ELEAZAR
AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE BILL.
IN OTHER WORDS THIS IS A
PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE IT'S A BEST
GAS. OF THE FIVE POINT FOUR
MILLION GENERAL FUND AND
SEVENTEEN POSITIONS PROPOSED IN
TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR THE
ADMINISTRATION CONFIRMED IN ITS
RESPONSES TO OUR OFFICE. AT
ABOUT NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
THOUSAND GENERAL FUND AND THREE
POSITIONS WOULD BE NEEDED FOR
THE DATABASE WE RECOMMEND THE
LEGISLATURE APPROVED THE SMALLER
AMOUNTS. AND REJECT THE
REMAINDER. AS AN ALTERNATIVE FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE FUNDING THE
LEGISLATURE COULD CONSIDER
PROVISIONAL BUDGET BILL LANGUAGE
THAT WOULD PROVIDE SOME SMALLER
AMOUNTS OF ADDITIONAL FUNDING.
BASED ON ACTUAL EXPERIENCE WITH
ELEAZAR UNDER AB TWENTY THREE
FIFTY FIVE. THIS LANGUAGE COULD
ALSO REQUEST DATA ON THE NUMBER
OF REPORTED CYBERATTACKS REQUEST
FOR ASSISTANCE. RESPONSES TO
THOSE REQUESTS AND INCIDENTS
THAT WARRANTED RESPONSIBLE AND-
HAVE THAT BEFORE. ANY ADDITIONAL
EXPENDITURES ARE ALL. THANK YOU
BRING INTO THE SUB SENATOR NEAL
. THANK YOU- WITH REGARD TO THE-
ALEJO'S COMMENTS. IT REALLY
WOULD REQUIRE. ADDITIONAL POLICY
SETTING BY THE LEGISLATURE TO.
GO BEYOND THE- FUNDING. AS THE
L. A. O. POINTED OUT. THE L. A.
O. INDICATED BUDGET LANGUAGE WE
HAVE ABOUT A HUNDRED AND TEN.
SPOTS BILLS. ARE SITTING
AVAILABLE TO PUT BUDGET LANGUAGE
CHEN. AND I TAKE GREAT EXCEPTION
TO THAT. BOB APPROACH WHEN I WAS
HERE BEFORE AS VICE CHAIR OF THE
- ASSEMBLY BUDGET COMMITTEE. TEN
OR. TWENTY- TRAILER BILLS WOULD
BE A LOT. AND WE'VE GONE SO FAR
BEYOND THAT IT REALLY
COMPROMISES THE TRANSPARENCY OF
THE BUDGET PROCESS WHICH I WILL
CONTINUE TO. BRING UP. IF THE
LEGISLATURE NEEDS TO ADOPT
ADDITIONAL POLICY TO GO BEYOND
WHAT THE ORIGINAL BILL-
AUTHORIZED WE OUGHT TO DO THAT
THROUGH THE NORMAL LEGISLATIVE
PROCESS. MAY I PROVIDE A
CONSULATE BERMAN PLANTS THANK
YOU A TOUCH OUR COME BACK WITH A
PERMANENT FINANCE JUST WANTED
HER FOR THE RECORD PROVIDE A
QUICK RESPONSE TO IN RESPONSE TO
THE L. A. S. COMMENTS. I'M JUST
WANTED TO KNOW THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION DOES CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT THE PROPOSAL AS
ORIGINALLY PUT FORTH AND THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. AND WE
ANTICIPATE THAT SCHOOL THAT'S
REPORTING OF CYBER INCIDENTS AND
ATTACKS WILL LIKELY BE
ACCOMPANIED BY REQUESTS FOR
ASSISTANCE FROM CAL STEPS YOU
MANAGE AND RESPONSE TO THE
ATTACK. AND SO IF WE ONLY
PARTIALLY APPROVE THE FUNDING
THAT IS BEING REQUESTED IN THIS
PROPOSAL WE WON THE RISK OF CAL
SICK BEING UNDER RESOURCE AND
UNABLE TO PROVIDE THAT HELP TO
SCHOOLS. IN THAT EVENT THANK
YOU. THANK YOU APPRECIATE THE
COMMENT- I'M SORRY I THOUGHT I'D
ALREADY REQUESTED YOUR PRODUCT
ALREADY HAD. RYAN METZGER LA-
JUST WANTED TO RESPOND TO THOSE
COMMENTS- AGAIN I THINK THE
POINT OF OUR TESTIMONY WAS THAT
THIS- ABSENCE OF DATA MAKES IT
DIFFICULT TO ANTICIPATE HOW LEDS
ARE GOING TO RESPOND WHEN THEY
ARE ASKED TO SUBMIT. EVIDENCE OF
CYBER ATTACKS- YOU KNOW WE HAVE
JUST A VERY WIDE VARIETY OF
ELEAZAR SOME OF WHICH HAVE CYBER
INSURANCE PROVIDERS THAT REQUIRE
THEM TO USE CERTAIN VENDORS
BEFORE THEY CONTACT CAL SIX FOR
ASSISTANCE. WE HAVE OTHERS IN
WHICH THEY DON'T HAVE VERY MUCH
YOU KNOW ON SITE STAFF FOR IT
AND INFORMATION SECURITY THAT
WIDE VERY VARIETY MEANS WE DON'T
REALLY KNOW HOW EACH OF THESE
ELLIE IS GOING TO RESPOND AND SO
AGAIN WE MAY NOT HAVE THE
RESOURCES ON HAND INITIALLY. BUT
I THINK THAT PROVISIONAL BUDGET
BILL LANGUAGE WAS A
RECOMMENDATION TO ALLOW FOR AT
LEAST SOME DATA TO INFORM HOW
MUCH MONEY WE'RE GOING TO BE
APPROVING. FOR THIS BILL. THE
**** THAT CONVERSATION THE
RECOMMENDATION IS TO OF THIS
ITEM OPEN. THAT'LL BRING US TO
ISSUE NUMBER THIRTY- STATE AND
LOCAL CYBERSECURITY GRANT

OF THIS PROPOSAL THE FIRST
PROPOSAL WE HAVE IS SEEKS ONE
MILLION AND ONE TIME EXPENDITURE
AUTHORITY FROM THE GENERAL FUND

DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES
TO PREPARE A PLAN FOR
TRANSITIONING UNDER UTILIZED

OPPORTUNITIES. I'M LIKE REQUEST
DEPUTED DECENT ANY WITH RELATED
SO WITH SCIVATION ADDED DETAILS
AND ADDRESS QUESTION YOU MIGHT
HAVE. THE MORNING. GOOD MORNING
JASON KENNEY TO PROJECTOR FOR
LISTED SERVICES FOR DGS- JUST A
FEW ADDITIONAL WORDS AS THIS ONE
IS- BEEN THE SUBJECT OF SOME
MISUNDERSTANDING- ADAPTIVE RE
USE AS A TERM IS VERY SPECIFIC
IT'S TAKING A BUILDING THAT
EXISTS AND CONVERTING THE
INTERIOR INTO AN ALTERNATE
PURPOSE- AND SO IF YOU THE
BUILDING THAT YOU'RE GONNA
DEMOLISH AND BUILD NEW. THAT'S
NOT ADAPTED FOR USE HE GOT A
GREEN FIELD OUR PARKING LOT
YOU'RE BUILDING ON THAT'S ALSO
NOT ADAPTIVE RE USE SO IN TWENTY
NINETEEN WHEN WE DID AN
INVENTORY OF ALL ACCESS STATE
PROPERTY THAT COULD BE
REPURPOSED FOR HOUSING. WE
IDENTIFIED ABOUT A HUNDRED SITES
ACROSS THE STATE THAT WERE
SUITABLE WE'VE BEEN IN THE
PROCESS OF DEVELOPING THAT WAS
FOR AT TWENTY ONE DEVELOPMENTS
AND ABOUT FIFTY FIVE HUNDRED
UNITS NOW- BUT VERY FEW OF THOSE
HAVE BUILDINGS AND OTHER ONES
THAT ACTUALLY HAVE BUILDINGS ON
THEM. WITHOUT FAIL THEY HAVE
BEEN DEEMED UNSUITABLE FOR
ADAPTIVE RE USE- SO IT'S A VERY
SMALL SUBSET THAT WILL ACTUALLY
BE ADAPTIVELY REUSED WHERE
ADAPTIVE RE USE IS MOST LIKELY.
IN IN THE STATE IS ACTUALLY HERE
IN SACRAMENTO AND SO WHEN THIS
BILL WAS SIGNED INTO LAW. OUR
PITCHING A PROPOSAL IS TO
ESSENTIALLY LOOK AT BUILDINGS
THAT WE BELIEVE MAY BECOME
AVAILABLE IN THE CITY- ACTIVELY
THE FOR ADOPTIVE POTENTIAL SO WE
CAN IDENTIFY WHEN THE TIME COMES
WHETHER TO SELL THEM TO. THE
MOST AND BUILD NEW OR TO
ADAPTIVELY REUSE THEM THAT WOULD
BE THE SUBJECT OF THIS REPORT.

DIRECTOR FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
DIVISION. AS TRUE STATED THIS IS
BEEN- A MISSION FOR US TO NOT
ONLY MODERNIZE OUR BUILDINGS
MOVING FOR BUT ALSO TO MAKE SURE
WILL MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
TERMS OF THE LARGER PICTURE
THAT'S BEEN PRESENTED BY THE
GOVERNOR AND CERTAINLY MEMBERS.
THIS BODY IN THE OTHER BODIES
WELL- WE HAVE TO BE MORE ENERGY
CONSCIENCE AND ALSO EFFECTIVE IN
DELIVERING THE SERVICES IN A WAY
THIS COST EFFECTIVE OVERTIME.
WHICH IS THAT A DEPARTMENT BY.
NATALIE DEPARTMENT FINANCE
NOTHING ADDITIONAL TO ADD AT
THIS TIME YOU L. L. YOUR SUPPORT
THE L. A. O. I FOR THIS PROPOSAL
WE HAVE A FEW COMMENTS FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION. FIRST WELL WE
ORIGINALLY RECOMMENDED
WITHHOLDING ACTION ON THIS
PROPOSAL UNTIL THE DEPARTMENT
IDENTIFIED WHICH BUILDINGS WITH
DIRECT DIGITAL CONTROL SYSTEMS
WERE IN CRITICAL NEED OF
REPLACEMENT AS IT WAS UNCLEAR IF
ALL OF THE BUILDINGS BEING
PROPOSED. FOR REPLACEMENT NEEDED
TO BE THE DEPARTMENT
SUBSEQUENTLY REPRIORITIZE ITS
LIST OF BUILDINGS TO IDENTIFY
THOSE WITH SYSTEMS THAT ARE IN
CRITICAL NEED OF REPLACEMENT AND
INDICATED THAT IT PLANS TO PUT
THE REQUESTED FUNDING. TOWARDS
THOSE SYSTEMS WE WOULD AGREE
THAT FUNDING THE SYSTEM'S MERITS
APPROVAL HOWEVER WE WILL
CONTINUE TO RECOMMEND THE
LEGISLATURE ABOUT PROVISIONAL
LANGUAGE THAT LIMITS THE USE OF
ANY FUNDING TO SPECIFIC PROJECTS
THAT USES TO APPROVE. AND
REVIEWING DGS DOCUMENTATION ON
THE CONDITION OF THE SYSTEMS WE
FOUND LOWER COST THAN WHAT THE
GOVERNOR IS PROPOSING AS PART OF
THAT- IS REQUESTING AS PART OF
THIS PROPOSAL. SO THIS SUGGESTS
THAT COSTS COULD BE LOWER AND
WHAT IS BEING REQUESTED OR AT A
MINIMUM BUT THERE IS SOME
UNCERTAINTY AROUND THE COST. AND
SO- YOU KNOW WITH THAT AS A
RESULT THERE COULD BE SOME ON
SPEND FUNDS SO AS SUCH THE
PROVISIONAL LANGUAGE WOULD
ENSURE THAT ANY UNSPENT FUNDS
ARE RETURNED TO THE GENERAL
FUND. WITH ADAM HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS THANK YOU. FURTHER
COMMENT. BONTA QUESTIONS VERY TO
THE SUBCOMMITTEE HAS SENATOR
AKPABIO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
MISS CHAIR APOLLO. FOR HAVING TO
LEAVE THE COMMITTEE FOR. CHECK
IN ON SOMETHING BUT- I'M- AND
I'M I APOLOGIZE IF- THIS. IS NOT
THE QUESTION THAT GOES WITH THIS
PARTICULAR ITEM BUT- I'M ONE OF
THE ISSUES IN RENTING STATE
BUILDING SAYS THAT PERCENT OF
THE BUILDING THAT'S VACANT. OR
IS NOT UTILIZED BY A STATE
AGENCY SO I WONDER IF WE CAN GET
A REPORT ON THAT BECAUSE AT ONE
TIME. I'M MANY OF THE- ARGUMENTS
. WE'RE ALECTINIB TO LEAVE THE
STATE. LEAST FACILITY THEY WERE
IN. INTO PRIVATELY RENTED SPACE
. I'M EARLY BECAUSE IT WAS
UPGRADED RIGHT WAS NEWER THEY
HAD THE- THERE. IT MAY HAVE
GROWN IN TO BE ABLE TO CO LOCATE
ALL TOGETHER WAS REALLY
IMPORTANT. BUT WHAT IT DID IS IT
LEFT- SIGNIFICANT VACANCIES AND
SOME OF OUR STATE BUILDINGS AND
DURING THE DOWNTURN IN THE
ECONOMY WE ASK DEPARTMENTS TO GO
BACK WHEN THEIR LEASES WERE UP.
SO THAT THEY COULD GO BACK INTO
A SPACE THAT WAS LESS EXPENSIVE.
THE BUILDINGS ARE WE'RE A LOT
LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THE PRIVATE
LEASES. AND I'M WONDERING AS WE
DO THESE ASSESSMENTS. AND
INCLUDING THE PRIOR ASSESSMENT
WHICH IS TO SEE WHETHER A
BUILDING IT MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE
FOR HOUSING. OR THE HOUSING. WE
SHOULD LOOK AT. HOW MUCH OF IT
IS LEAST- BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME
THAT THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT.
THERE ARE VACANCIES IN MANY OF
THE DOWNTOWN- BUILDINGS IN
PARTICULAR IN DOWNTOWN LA AND
DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO. AND AS WE
LOOK AT THAT WHETHER THOSE
BUILDINGS ARE ARE OLD AND- CAN'T
BE RETROFITTED TO MEET. OUR
CLIMATE CHANGE GOALS OUR OUR
DECARBONISATION GOALS SO THAT
WE'RE DOING THIS IS AS ONE
SYSTEM RATHER THAN DOING IT YOU
KNOW IN A SERIES OF. OF ANALYSES
THAT DON'T KNOW MASH I'M
CONCERNED WITH THIS HAVING
SPACE. IN STATE BUILDINGS THAT
UNDER UTILIZED AND YET WE'RE
STILL HEATING IT AND WE'RE
STILL. YOU KNOW AIR CONDITIONING
IT AND IT'S PRETTY HARD TO TURN
OFF PART OF THE BUILDING WHEN
IT'S- BEEN DEVELOPED AS A AS A
WHOLE SO- WHEN I KIND OF PUT
THAT OUT THERE IS THAT. AS A
LOOK SEE TO. I'M CONCERNED WITH
THE DECARBONISATION OUR EFFORTS.
WILL BE THAT PEOPLE DEPARTMENTS
WILL MOVE OUT OF A BUILDING
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DECARBONISE
IT BECAUSE IT'S HOURS MOVE INTO
EXPENSIVE. PRIVATELY OWNED.
PROPERTY AND THEN LEAVE US WITH
THE BAND IN BUILDINGS WE CAN'T
DO ANYTHING. THE CENTER AND IF
YOU'RE NOT ABLE AND IF YOU WOULD
HAVE NO OBJECTION IF THERE'S
FEEL FREE TO RESPOND TO THE
CENTER'S OFFICE WITH- INQUIRY.
ON THAT OR IF YOU WANT TO
PROVIDE- SOME COMMON AT THIS
POINT USED TO GET A PRELIMINARY
RESPONSE I'M HAPPY TO
ACCOMMODATE THAT AS WELL THE
SENATORS JUGGLING A LOT OF BALLS
RIGHT NOW AND- THANK YOU HI
AGAIN JASON KENNEY THE PROJECTOR
FOR REAL ESTATE- NO IT'S A IT'S
A VERY VERY VALID POINTS- AND SO
MAYBE JUST. A FEW ADDITIONAL
WORDS THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL FOR
CONTEXT- SO- YOU ARE YOU'RE
YOU'RE RIGHT THERE THERE IS- YOU
KNOW STARKLY BEEN A DESIRE FOR
STATE AGENCIES TO MOVE OUT OF
OLDER STATE BUILDINGS AND INTO.
UPGRADED TO NEWER NICER SPACES-
IN STATUTES. WE DO HAVE THE
ABILITY TO STOP THAT FROM
HAPPENING- BUT IF YOU WERE TO
LOOK OUTSIDE OF SACRAMENTO YOU
MENTIONED- SAN DIEGO FOR EXAMPLE
THAT BUILDING FOR YEARS ABOUT
50% FULL- SO IN TWENTY NINETEEN
ONE OF THE ANALYSES THAT WE DID
WAS TO LOOK AT THE COST TO TAKE
SOME OF THESE OLD EFFICIENT
BUILDINGS AND- BRING THEM UP TO.
JUST NORMAL OPERATING STANDARDS-
WE ASSUME THE LEASE REVENUE BOND
FINANCE APPROACH AND THEN WE
COMPARE THAT TO THIRTY YEARS
WORTH OF LEASE COSTS. AND IN
THOSE INSTANCES WHERE THE
BUILDINGS WERE SO DEFICIENT AND
THOSE COSTS ARE ACTUALLY MORE
COST EFFECTIVE TO BE IN THE
SPACE- WE ELECTED TO GET RID OF
THE BUILDINGS. AND SO OUR
PORTFOLIO PLANNING TWENTY
NINETEEN INCORPORATED INTO OUR
REAL ESTATE SHE PLAN. ACTUALLY
PROPOSE GETTING RID OF- NINE
BUILDINGS MINUTES EIGHT. WITHOUT
THROUGHOUT THE STATE- THE SAN
DIEGO BUILDING DOWNTOWN IS
ACTUALLY BEEN AWARDED TO A
DEVELOPER IT'S A BILLION DOLLAR
HOUSING PROJECT RIGHT NOW- IT
SHOULD YIELD ABOUT FIFTEEN
HUNDRED UNITS OF HOUSING- AND SO
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY. AND OUR
PARTS A DESIRE TO SORT OF GET
RID OF THOSE BUILDINGS IT
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO OWN THEM
AND CONVERT THEM INTO HOUSING
ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS OUR STOCK IN
OFFICE BUILDINGS WERE IN THE
PROCESS. AGAIN PROBABLY 50%
OCCUPIED IN THE PROCESS OF
VACATING THIS TENANTS INTO. US
OR OR EQUALLY EXPENSIVELY SPACE
NOT. MORE EXPENSIVELY SPACE- AND
NOT BUILDING WILL BE UP FOR
SOLICITATION AS WELL- SO THAT IS
ACTUALLY A PLAN AND WE'VE BEEN
ACTIVELY DOING THAT FOR ABOUT
THREE FOUR YEARS NOW- ANOTHER
QUICK EXAMPLE IN CASE YOU'RE
INTERESTED. IS THAT UP IN IN
REDDING WE ACTUALLY HAD AN
OFFICE BUILDING WITH THE PRIMARY
TENANT. WAS THE M. B. RATHER
THAN GETTING RID OF THE AT
BUILDING WE TRY. YOUR TO THE AND
TOOK TO OTHER LOOK. THEY HAVE IN
THE AREA AND BECAUSE- INTO THAT
LOOK. TO THEIR OFFICE MORE.
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS FROM
A HOUSING PERSPECTIVE AS WELL AS
THE GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY
PERSPECTIVE FOR. AWHILE NOW.
IT'S GREAT THAT THEY REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT UPDATE. THANK
YOU. MISTER CHAIR THANK YOU SIR.

DIVISION TO ADDRESS ANY
QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
MOMENT FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
DIVISION- IT IS A CRITICAL
OPERATION COMPONENT OF ALL OF
OUR BUILDINGS IF YOU CAN IMAGINE
A PORTFOLIO THIS AGE OVER TIME
THIS IS CERTAINLY A CRITICAL
COMPONENT- THAT WE LOOK TO
REPLACE STRATEGICALLY WE'VE-
IDENTIFIED THE BUILDINGS THAT
NEED. AT THAT MORE IMMEDIATE
NEED AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT A
DIVISION THAT IS USED TO DOING
MORE WITH LESS. AND SO OVER TIME
WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO DO THAT
GIVEN CERTAIN BUDGET CONSTRAINTS
ON CERTAIN TIME PERIODS- BUT AT
SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO REPLACE
THE SYSTEM SO FOR US WE'VE
ARRIVED AT THAT POINT IN THE
BUILDINGS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED
WILL ALLOW US TO DO THAT. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH BERMAN FINANCE.
NOT ONLY BECAUSE WELL DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE NO ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS AT THIS TIME. YOU L. L.
YOUR SUPPORT THE L. L. FOR THIS
PARTICULAR PROPOSAL WE RECOMMEND
THE LEGISLATURE APPROVED THE
FUNDING AS THE SYSTEMS ARE AT OR
NEAR THE END OF THEIR USEFUL
LIFE. WITH THAT SAID WE DO HAVE
A BROADER RECOMMENDATION THAT
WERE LEADS TO THIS PROPOSAL AS
WELL AS THE DIRECTOR JOEL
CONTROL SYSTEM APPROACH A
PROPOSAL THAT WE JUST DISCUSSED.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE
LEGISLATURE REQUIRED DGS TO
PROVIDE A PLAN ON HOW IT WILL
JUST RENTAL RATES GOING FORWARD
TO INCORPORATE BUILDING
MAINTENANCE NEEDS. B. R. RENTAL
RATES THAT DGS CHARGES THAT'S
TEN DEPARTMENTS. NOT FULLY COVER
BUILDING MAINTENANCE NEEDS AS OF
RIGHT NOW IN OUR VIEW THEY
SHOULD. ALL THE STATE HAS
PROVIDED SOME GENERAL FUND
SUPPORT IN THE PAST FOUR DGS
BUILDING MAINTENANCE THE STATE
IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING A
BUDGET PROBLEM. AND SO AS A
RESULT ANY ADDITIONAL SPUN OF
SPENDING FROM THE GENERAL FUND
COMES AT THE COST OF ALREADY
FUNDED. LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES.
MOREOVER WE FUND IS NOT
APPROPRIATE FOR DGS TO RELY ON
GENERAL FUND AUGMENTATIONS ON A
LONG TERM BASIS. YOU FOR LET'S
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE NEEDS
BECAUSE IT DISCONNECTS THE
RENTAL RATES THAT ARE BEING
PLACED. ARE PAID BY RENTAL A
TENANT DEPARTMENTS FROM THE COST
OF OPERATING AND MAINTAINING THE
BUILDINGS. IT ALSO PLACES A
DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE OF THE
COST OF THE GENERAL FUND. RATHER
THAN ALLOCATING SOME OF THE COST
TO SPECIAL FUNDS. THAT SUPPORT
SOME OF THE DGS BUILDING TENANTS
AND SO WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY
HAVE THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH A BACK TO SECOND. ALL RIGHT

COMMENTS AT THIS TIME. YOUR

ON THIS ITEM. BACK TO THE SUB.
CENTER NEIL. THANK YOU. MR
CHAIRMAN SO. WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT- THEY CAN PARTIALLY VACANT
BUILDINGS AND- USE FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND- AND- WE
HAVE GONE TO- THROUGH THE
PANDEMIC OF WORK FROM HOME IN.
TO AT LEAST A PARTIAL EXTENT
THAT CONTINUES TO EXIST THAT
WOULD NOT. SEEM TO INDICATE THAT
WE NEED TO BUILD NEW BUILDINGS.
AND YET WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NEW
BUILDINGS I'D SO HELP ME TO
UNDERSTAND. HELLO AGAIN- YES SO
IT'S A IT'S A REALLY ALSO GOOD
QUESTION SO TO TWO BUILDINGS ARE
AT PLAY HERE ONE IS RICHARD
BOULEVARD THE OTHER ONE IS THE
KELLY PANELING. THE CALIBRATING
HAS BEEN IN OPERATION FOR
DECADES- IT WAS BUILT IN THE
NINETIES IF MEMORY SERVES. AND
IT WAS A- CAPITALIZE LEAST
ALTERNATELY SO IT'S A BASICALLY
IT'S LIKE IT'S LIKE YOU BUILD A
HOUSE THE NINETIES BUT YOU JUST
FIGHT PAID OFF THE MORTGAGE-
SUCH AS AND SHE WAS HAPPENING IN
THIS PARTICULAR BUILDING- AND SO
THE MAINTENANCE FOR THAT HAS
BEEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
CITY HAS BEEN THE PARTNER. AND
NOW THE BUILDING BECOMES STATE
OWNERSHIP ARE BUILDING
MAINTENANCE DIVISION IS
ULTIMATELY TAKING THAT OVER
THAT'S WHY THE NEED FOR STAFF ON
A PARTICULAR ONE ON RIDGE
BOULEVARD AND MORE EXPERT- IN
GENERAL ALSO KIND OF GOES BACK
TO. WHAT SENATOR KABIRU
MENTIONED. I'M IN SACRAMENTO. WE
HAVE OBVIOUSLY A HUGE
CONCENTRATION OF STATE
GOVERNMENT- BOTH IN HISTORICALLY
PREPEND AMIK- TREMENDOUS AMOUNT
OF OWN SPACE AND EVEN YOU KNOW
JUST AS MUCH OF THE SPACE AS
WELL- AND IN SACRAMENTO- IF
THERE WAS AN OFFICE. FOOTPRINT
ANY SIGNIFICANT SIZE WE SNAPPED
IT UP. MCGUINNESS'S OPRY BAND
AND ACRI TELEWORK. POST AND I
MAKE IN THIS NEW AGE OF HYBRID
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHTS
DEPARTMENTS ARE TRANSITIONING
INTO SOME DEGREE OF NOT IN
OFFICE WORK. AT WILL COMPLETELY
DEPEND ON THE DEPARTMENT IN
THEIR OPERATIONAL NEEDS BUT THAT
IS THE TRANSITION THAT WE'VE
SEEN HAPPEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO
HAPPEN. I'M AT THE END OF THE
DAY WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IN
THESE BUILDING PROJECTS THIS
RICHARD BOULEVARD PREDATED THE
PANDEMIC AS WELL IT STARTED IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN. IS WE'VE
LEVERAGED THE OPPORTUNITY TO
CONSOLIDATE PROGRAMS INTO THOSE
BUILDINGS OUT OF LEASE SPACE.
AND TO- DENSIFY THEM SO FOR
EXAMPLE ONE OF THE NEW BUILDINGS
THAT WAS CONSTRUCTED THE MIDDLE
ATTEND AND MAKE WAS THE-
RESOURCES BUILDING A NEW
RESOURCES BUILDING THAT WAS
PLANNED FOR THREE THOUSAND TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEATS. THEIR
OCCUPANCY THAT BUILDING IS ABOUT
. A THOUSAND MORE PEOPLE BECAUSE
WE PULL ADDITIONAL FOR OUT THE
SPACE. RODHAM OTHER BILL THAT
NEEDED TO BE GOTTEN RID OF FOR
OR RENDON- AND SO THE SAME WAY-
THIS IS. THIS AND NOT AT. SO
MUCH IT IS. NEW SPACE THAT
ALLOWS US TAX PULL OUT OF SOME
OF THOSE MORE EGREGIOUS LEASES.
AND SOLELY DEPARTMENT FOR
OPERATIONAL CONSISTENCY. OR
ALLOWS US TO REPURPOSE SOME OF
THE BUILDINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN
TO HOUSING LIKE THE THREE ON
CAPITOL MALL THAT HAS THE
SOLICITATION OUT TODAY. READ THE
SENATOR KABIR SO- WHAT THE
BUILDING WHERE CALLIE PA IS
RIGHT NOW- THAT IS NOT OWNED BY
THE STATE. SORRY IT WILL BE VERY
SOON BUT- HISTORICALLY NO IT'S
BEEN- IT'S A IT'S A- JPA
TRANSACTION WITH THE- WITH THE
CITY IN A PRIVATE DEVELOPER. I'M
JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY
WE'RE MOVING EPA. WE'RE NOT
MOVING EPA THEY'RE THEY'RE
STAYING THERE IT'S- AGAIN IT'S
LIKE IT'S LIKE WE PAID OFF THE
BANK LOAN AND NOW WE OWN THE
BUILDING- BUT THAT RESIDENTS
STAY THERE THAT THAT THEY'RE NOT
I GET IT I GET IT THANK YOU SO
MUCH I APPRECIATE THAT MISS AND
- IN. ONE WEEK. AGO THAT THANK
YOU SIR THANK YOU FOR THE NIMBLE
RESPONSES BY THE WAY I'M
IMPRESSED WITH THAT. KELLY CAN

THANK YOU VERY MUCH BERMAN

COMMENTS THINKING- BACK TO THE

ITEM BE HELD. THAT WILL TAKE US
TO ISSUE THIRTY SIX SACRAMENTO
REGION NEW RITUAL OF ART OFFICE
COMPLEX.
NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL
SERVICES THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR
FOUR HUNDRED AND TWO MILLION FOR
A PORTION OFF EXPENDITURES FOR
THE DESIGN BUILD PHASE OF
DIRECTORS BOULEVARD OFFICE
COMPLEX. THE GENERAL FUND
APPROPRIATION IS INTENDED TO
OFFSET THE PROJECT EXPENDITURES
THAT WERE INCURRED OUTSIDE OFF A
THREE YEAR WINDOW REQUIRED UNDER
THE FEDERAL RULES GOVERNING THE
USE OF TAX EXEMPT BONDS. THANK
YOU PLF. APOLOGIST AS I CLEARLY
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE JUST ONE
NOTE THAT FINANCING COSTS FOR
BOTH TAXABLE AND TAX EXEMPT
BONDS HAVE INCREASED
SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST
YEAR- FOR INSTANCE IF WE WERE TO
FINANCE THE FOREIGN TWO MILLION
IN PROJECT COSTS THAT ARE. NOT A
GOOD NOT A ELIGIBLE FOR TAX
EXEMPT FINANCING. THE INTEREST
COSTS ASSOCIATED WOULD BE FOUR
HUNDRED MILLION OR PROXY ARE
TWICE THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT I'M
AS SUCH WE SEE THIS IS A GOOD
FISCAL DECISIONS WHICH PROVIDES
LONG TERM I FISCAL BENEFITS
DESPITE THE CONDITION OF THE
GENERAL FUND. HELLO. YOUR
SUPPORT THE L. A. O. WE HAVE
SOME BROADER COMMENTS ON
FINANCING APPROACHES TO CAPITAL
OUTLAY PROJECTS THAT ARE ALSO
RELEVANT TO THIS PROPOSAL SO
USING BONDS OR CASH OR BOTH
REASONABLE WAYS TO FINANCE
CAPITAL OUTLAY PROJECTS BUT EACH
COME WITH THEIR OWN UNIQUE TRADE
OFF SO FOR EXAMPLE IF THE STATE.
IS IN ABOUT HAS A BUDGET DEFICIT
BONDS CAN FIND IMPORTANT
PROJECTS WITHOUT FORCING THE
STATE TO CUT INTO EXISTING
PROGRAMS THAT OTHERWISE MIGHT
NEED TO BE CUT IN ORDER TO FUND
THE PROJECT. ON THE OTHER HAND
ARE USING CASH CAN LOWER OVERALL
SPENDING FOR PROJECT BECAUSE THE
STATE DOES NOT HAVE TO MAKE
INTEREST PAYMENTS. SO GIVEN THE
CURRENT BUDGET PROBLEM FACING
THE STATE INCLUDING AT THE PARK
PROBLEM MAYBE EVEN LARGER THAN
THE GOVERNOR CURRENTLY PROJECTS
THE LEGISLATURE COULD CONSIDER
SWITCHING TO LEASE REVENUE BONDS
INSTEAD OF CASH FINANCING FOR
THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. THAT
WOULD FREE UP SOME GENERAL FUND
CASH TO MAINTAIN FUNDING FOR
EXISTING PROGRAMS THAT MIGHT
OTHERWISE SEEM TO BE CUT TO
ADDRESS THE BUDGET PROBLEM EVEN
THOUGH INTEREST RATES ARE
RELATIVELY HIGH RIGHT NOW IF
THEY COME DOWN IN THE FUTURE THE
STATE TYPICALLY HAS THE
OPPORTUNITY TO REFINANCE AT THAT
TIME. THANK YOU AND APPRECIATE
THANK YOU I APPRECIATE THE
COMMENT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
CENTENNIAL. HAVE A QUESTION
ABOUT. USE MAY BE LEASE REVENUE
BONDS I MIGHT HAVE THIS WRONG
BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS. THE
LEASE REVENUE BOND IS- SO SAID
WITH A LEASE. THE GENERATES THE
REVENUE. OF TO PAY THE- THE
FINANCING. AND LEASE REVENUE
BONDS TYPICALLY DO NOT HAVE TO
GO THROUGH TO THE VOTERS BECAUSE
IT'S PRESENTED AS A THIRD PARTY.
IT'S THERE TO WHICH THE- LEAST
YES. AND THEREFORE. FUND SO
FUNDED. BUT THIS IS A CENTRAL A
- THEY ARE GENERAL FUND. THE
PAYMENT OF THE OF THE LEASE
REVENUE BONDS WILL COME OUT OF
THE STATE'S GENERAL FUND. SO
THERE ISN'T ANY DIFFERENCE IN
THE PARTIES'S FROM ONE POCKET TO
ANOTHER. WHICH ISN'T WHAT LEASE
REVENUE BONDS ARE ESSENTIALLY
SUPPOSED TO BE. DO I HAVE THAT
WRONG OR HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND.
THAT. WHOEVER WANTS TO ANSWER IT
. ENTERS ARE TO WORK LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE ON SO MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE WAVE
THAT LEASE REVENUE BONDS
TYPICALLY WORK IS THAT THE STATE
PUBLIC WORKS BOARD IS THE ENTITY
THAT OWNS THE BUILDING AND THEN
THAT DEPARTMENT. OR THAT THE
STATE IS SORT OF PAYING IT BACK
THERE IT IS A IT IS- A BIT OF A
WORKAROUND AND I'D BE HAPPY TO
GO INTO MORE DETAIL AND CONSULT
WITH EXPERTS IN OUR OFFICE TO
GIVE YOU. MORE DETAIL ON HAPPY
TO ALLOW THE DEPARTMENT TO
PROVIDE A MORE DETAILS WHILE.
I'M SORRY BEEN TALKING EL ENTIRE
TIME WITHOUT THE MICROPHONE ON
I'M I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU HEARD
WHAT I SAID BEFORE IT'S ASSUMED
TO BE A WITH ANOTHER UNRELATED
PARTIES IT MAKES THE OF BUT THE
REVENUE SOURCE TO PAY THE BOND
OFF OBVIOUSLY DISCONNECTED FROM-
THE STATE. THAT'S NOT THE CASE
OKAY M. SEEMS TO ME IT'S AN
ABUSE OF THE TOOL. AND WE DO IT
ALL THE TIME I THINK IT'S BECOME
ROUTINE AND- I IF I HAVE
CONCERNS ABOUT THAT. THEY'RE
GOING. ALL RIGHT. YEAH I THINK
THAT'S ALWAYS THE DISTINCTION
THE DIFFICULTY WITH A PARTICULAR

FINANCE NOTHING ADDITIONAL TO
ADD AT THIS TIME HELLO. THE
CHARITABLE OF THE SIGNATURE IT'S
ABOUT THE L. A. L. FOR THIS
PROPOSAL WE RECOMMEND THAT THE
LEGISLATURE APPROVED THE FUNDING

ONGOING AS PROPOSED BY THE
GOVERNOR YOUNG GOING NEED TO
STORE AN INCREASED SUPPLY
PRINTING MATERIALS IS UNCERTAIN.
AND THE OFFICE HAS THE OPTION TO
TERMINATE THE LEASE AFTER TWENTY
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE TO TWENTY
TWENTY SIX THE ADMINISTRATION
CAN REASSESS THE ONGOING NEED
FOR THE WAREHOUSE SPACE AT THAT
TIME. IT'S A MATTER OF SUBMIT A
REQUEST FOR RESOURCES FOR
LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATION AS
PART OF THE TWENTY TWENTY SIX
TWENTY SEVEN BUDGET PROCESS IF
NEEDED. WE WOULD ALSO KNOW THAT
THE DEPARTMENT ENTERED INTO THIS
LEASE DURING THE TWENTY TO
TWENTY THREE BUDGET YEAR BUT TO
NOT NOTIFY THE LEGISLATURE
BEFORE DOING SO AS IT WAS
REQUIRED TO DO. THIS LIMITED THE
LEGISLATORS ARE OVERSIGHT
BECAUSE IT DID NOT HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW AND
PROVIDE INPUT IT'S OUR
UNDERSTANDING FROM THE
DEPARTMENT THAT THEY HAD
ORIGINALLY DETERMINED THAT IT
WAS NOT NEEDED TO- NEED TO
NOTIFY THE LEGISLATURE FOR THE
SLEAZE BUT SUBSEQUENTLY
ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT. SHOULD
HAVE BEEN PLANS. TO DO SO GOING
FORWARD THANK YOU. THANK YOU
BRING IT BACK TO THE MANY SAN

AFTER THE FACT. EIGHTY THOUSAND

CONCERN IS. THAT BACK IN THE DAY
WHEN WE HAD THAT. DELAYED
BUDGET. THERE WAS A NEED FOR
STORING PAPER BECAUSE- IF YOU
DIDN'T HAVE A BUDGET THEN YOU
COULD BUY PAPER. DURING THAT
TIME THAT. I DID WAS DELAYED THE
THAT THAT THAT IS. NOT HAPPENING
ANYMORE- BUT- DURING THE
DOWNTURN IN THE ECONOMY WHEN WE
WENT INTO THAT STORAGE FACILITY
THERE IS. HI PILES OF PAPER.
UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF WHITE
PAPER STORED THERE- BECAUSE OF
THE NEED FOR THE PRINTING OFFICE
I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE CASE
ANYMORE AND SO I THINK REVEALING

AFTER REVIEWING THE ELIAS'S
COMMENTS IN THE AGENDA OF THE

DISAGREES WITH THE L. A. S.
PROPOSAL TO SHIFT S. B. C. P.

IN IMPACTS OTHER PRIORITIES OF.
KAGE PROGRAMS INCLUDED IN THE

REQUIRE THE ADMINISTRATION. TO
SHIFT EXISTING GENERAL FUND OR

DOLLARS AS THOSE ARE THE ONLY
TWO FROM SOURCES METHODS PACKAGE
ASIDE FROM FEDERAL FUNDING.
THANK YOU TO THE L. L. IT'S YOUR
SUPPORT THE L. L. S. AND LEAD TO
THE GENERAL FUND CLAIM AND WE
RECOMMEND THAT THE LEGISLATURE
CONSIDER FUNDING THE COST FOR
THIS PROPOSAL FROM THE EXISTING
ZERO EMISSIONS VEHICLE PACKAGE
RATHER THAN AS A NEW GENERAL
FUND EXPENDITURE. AS YOU MAY BE
AWARE OF THE PREVIOUS YOU
BUDGETS COMMITTED SIGNIFICANT

PROMOTE THE- IT MAY BE A
PURCHASE AND USE OF ZERO
EMISSION VEHICLES. FUNDING FOR
THIS OF PACKAGES SPREAD ACROSS

FIVE TO TWENTY SIX HE DID YES
PROPOSAL HAS MERIT BECAUSE IT
WOULD INSTALL ADDITIONAL
CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE AT A
TIME THAT AGENCIES ARE ADDING
MORE ELECTRIC VEHICLES TO THEIR
FLEETS TO MEET STATEWIDE ZERO
EMISSION VEHICLE GOALS. HOWEVER
WOULD ALSO COMMIT THE STATE TO
THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN
DISCRETIONARY GENERAL FUND
EXPENDITURES WHEN THE STATE IS
FACING A BUDGET PROBLEM SO GIVEN
THE GENERAL FUND CONDITION AND
THE FACT THAT OVERSEEING THE
STATE'S LEAD IS A CORE STATE
RESPONSIBILITY. LEGISLATURE MAY
WANT TO CONSIDER WHETHER IT
SHOULD INSTEAD FUND THIS
PROPOSAL WITHIN THE ZERO
EMISSIONS VEHICLE PACKAGE OVER
OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT ARE NOT
CORE RESPONSIBILITIES. THAT ARE
CURRENTLY INCLUDED IN THE
PACKAGE IT WOULD REQUIRE THE
LEGISLATURE TO MAKE SOME
REDUCTIONS TO OTHER PROGRAMS
FUNDED BY THE PACKAGE HOWEVER WE
THINK THAT COULD BE JUSTIFIED.
JOINT ABLE THE STATE TO COMPLY
WITH ITS ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE
REQUIREMENTS AND GIVEN GENERAL
FUND CONSTRAINTS. AND HAPPY
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. NO ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS ARE I WILL BRING IT TO
THE COMMITTEE CENTER CABALLERO.
YES I HAVE A QUESTION IN REGARDS
TO THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF- YOU
BE CHARGING- ONE TWO. AND THREE.
AND I GUESS IS THERE A PRICE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT
CHARGING. STATIONS NUMBER ONE
AND NUMBER TWO. I'M I'M ASSUMING
THAT WE'VE GOT INNER OPERABILITY
SO IT DOESN'T DEPEND ON WHAT
KIND OF VEHICLE YOU HAVE YOU CAN
PULL UP AND CHARGE IT- IF IT'S
MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT I.
PLEASE EXPLAIN. NO MATTER
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES.
I'LL TAKE A QUESTION BACK TO OUR
EXPERT AT OFFICE OF
SUSTAINABILITY ON RESPONDING
VICTIMS. OKAY THAT WOULD THAT
WOULD BE GOOD. BECAUSE I THINK I
AGREE WITH THE L. A- IN TERMS OF
THIS PARTICULAR FINDING. I'M BUT
- BUT THE QUESTIONS BECOME
IMPORTANT AYE AYE IT'S- I DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHY WE DIDN'T JUST.
REQUIRE THAT. EVERY CHARGING
STATION IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. HAVE THE ABILITY TO
CHARGE ANY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE
MINUTE WE WALKED DOWN THIS IT'S
THE SAME THING AS WE- WENT WITH
OUR PHONES ALL OF A SUDDEN. YOU
CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE TO CHARGE
YOUR PHONE BECAUSE YOU FORGOT
YOUR CORD AND- EVERYBODY'S GOT A
DIFFERENT. IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN
IPHONE YOU'RE IN TROUBLE RIGHT.
SO I'M COULDN'T HEAR HERE'S MY
CONCERN. I'M BACK IN THE DAY THE
IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH THE THAT
. AIR QUALITY RULES THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT RECORD REQUIRED US TO
BUY E. EIGHTY FIVE VEHICLES. IN
AND SO WE DID. THE PROBLEM WAS.
THAT WE NEVER HAD A MANDATE THAT
THAT EMPLOYEES. THAT HADN'T E.
EIGHTY FIVE VEHICLE FOR WORK YOU
ACTUALLY USE THE EIGHTY FIVE
PRODUCT. I'M AND SO WHEN WE TOOK
A LOOK AT. AND THE E. EIGHTY
FIVE VEHICLES FOST AN EXTRA FIVE
