PHYSICALITY BECOME THE OFFICIAL
ACCOUNTING BOOK OF RECORDS. OUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NEW STATE
COMPTROLLER HAS STARTED OFF VERY
POSITIVE. AND I BELIEVE WITH
THEIR COMMITMENT WE ARE CLOSER
THAN WE HAVE EVER BEEN BEFORE.
BEING THE FOURTH LARGEST ECONOMY
IMPLEMENTING FISCAL HAS BEEN A
MONUMENTAL ACHIEVEMENT. THE
FISCAL SYSTEM IS A NORMAL
ENORMOUSLY COMPLEX FIGHTS VERY
NATURE. THEIR HUNDRED AND FIFTY
DEPARTMENTS USING THE SYSTEM.
APPROXIMATELY FOURTEEN THOUSAND
END USERS. AND WE PROCESS OVER
FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE
BILLION EXPENDITURES ALONE IN
FISCAL YEAR TWENTY ONE TWENTY
TWO. WE ARE PROUD TO SAY THAT
DEPARTMENTS ARE PAYING THEIR
BILLS BALANCING THEIR BUDGET
SEIZING THE FISCAL SYSTEM EVERY
DAY. AND I WANT TO NOTE THAT
THERE'S OVER A HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY THOUSAND VENDORS
REGISTERED TO DO BUSINESS WITH
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA USING
THE FISCAL SYSTEM. WITH THE
PASSAGE OF AB ONE FIFTY SIX LAST
YEAR THE LEGISLATURE RECOGNIZED
DISCOUNTS PROJECT X. OBJECTIVES
BEING MET. INFORMALLY TEAM THE
PROJECT COMPLETE AS OF JULY
FIRST TWENTY TWENTY TWO. AB ONE
FIFTY SIX ALSO SET FORTH THE
ROAD MAP FOR THE DEPARTMENT.
LAYING OUT A PLAN OVER THE
COMING DECADE. SO WHAT'S AHEAD
FOR IS PROTECTING FISCALES DATA
AN APPLICATION IS MY TOP
PRIORITY WE ARE CONTINUOUSLY
IMPROVING THEIR CYBERSECURITY
POSTURE. ANYTHING YOU CAN ALWAYS
BY THE DEPARTMENT TECHNOLOGY FOR
CONTINUAL EFFORTS IN CYBER
SECURITY. OVER THE COURSE THE
TWO THOUSAND TWENTY TWO THIS
GIRL IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR
PARTNER AGENCIES HAVE PRIORITIZE
A LIST OF ENHANCEMENTS THAT WE
INTEND TO MAKE TO THE SYSTEM.
MANY OF THESE ENHANCEMENTS ARE
READY FOR A DIRECT RESULT. OF
INTERACTIVE ENGAGEMENTS WITH OUR
CUSTOMER DEPARTMENTS AND
REPRESENT THE ONGOING
MAINTENANCE AND MODERNIZATION AT
THE SYSTEM. ENSURING EFFICIENT
AND RELEVANT ALIGNMENT WITH THE
STATE'S FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
PROCESSES. ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE
BEGUN THE PROCESS OF ON BOARDING
THE REMAINING DEFERRED
DEPARTMENTS. HE'S DEPARTMENTS
FOR DEFERRED FROM THE INITIAL
RELEASES AS MOST OF THEM HAVE
THEIR OWN MODERN FINANCIAL
SYSTEMS IN PLACE AT THAT TIME.
THIS GIRL HAS IMPROVED AND
CONTINUES TO IMPROVE THE ON
BOARDING PROCESS BASED ON PRIOR
EXPERIENCES AND LESSONS LEARNED
. THESE PRIORITIES REPRESENT A
PIECE OF A LARGER PICTURE FOR
THE DEPARTMENT GOING FORWARD OUR
AND ARE ALIGNED WITH OUR READ
MATH OUTLINED IN AB ONE FIFTY
SIX. THIS CALL WILL CONTINUE TO
REPORT ON THE STATUS OF THESE
PRIORITIES IN OUR ANNUAL REPORT
TO THE LEGISLATURE. WITHOUT HIM
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
THE COMMITTEE. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH OF FOR THOSE OPENING
COMMENTS AND LET ME OFF. WELCOME
YOUR FAMILY WE ARE ALWAYS
THRILLED TO SEE WHEN FAMILY
MEMBERS ARE ABLE TO JOIN. WE
KNOW IT'S A BIG DEAL AND VERY
IMPORTANT AND SO IT'S GREAT TO
SEE EVERYBODY HERE WELCOME-
CENTER EARLIER LET ME GO AHEAD
AND START WITH YOU WILL COME
DOWN THIS THIS WAY. AND THE GET
STARTED THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
AND GOOD TO SEE YOU AND- YOUR
MOTHER WAS SMILING RATHER
BROADLY WHEN THAT HAPPENED
BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T SEE- AND I
APPRECIATE OUR MEETING AND I
THINK I WOULD LIKE TO. JUST SORT
OF HAVE THE CONVERSATION BRIEFLY
HERE THAT WE HAD IN THE MEETING
J. BECAUSE- I HAVE THIS
EXPERIENCE WHERE. I WAS BUDGET
CHAIR WHEN WE FIRST TALKED ABOUT
CISCO IN TWO THOUSAND FIVE I WAS
IN THE ADMINISTRATION WHEN IT
STARTED TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN
TWENTY TWELVE. WERE IN TWENTY
TWENTY THREE AND WE STILL HAVE
TEN DEPARTMENTS. AND IT'S NOT
SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED FOR A
FEW MORE YEARS AND MY INITIAL
QUESTION ONE. WHY WOULD IT NOT
BE OBSOLETE. WITH THAT LONG A
PROCESS BY THE TIME EVERYBODY
SAW HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND TO
THAT. THANK YOU CENTER I'M-
YOU'RE CORRECT SAID THE INITIAL
DISCUSSIONS DID START TAKING
PLACE IN TWO THOUSAND FIVE- THE
INTENT AND THE SCOPE OF THOSE
INITIAL DISCUSSIONS CHANGED
DRAMATICALLY OVER THE YEARS AND
IN TWO THOUSAND TWELVE. WE HIRED
OUR CONTRACTOR SYSTEM INTEGRATOR
WHO CAME ON THAT WOULD HELP
DESIGN AND BUILD THE SYSTEM. WE
DIDN'T ACTUALLY START DEPLOYING-
ANY FUNCTIONALITY OR HAD ANY
DEPARTMENTS ON BOARD UNTIL TWO
THOUSAND FOURTEEN AND THAT WAS A
VERY SMALL SUBSET OF
DEPARTMENTS- OUR LARGEST RELEASE
WAS IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN WHERE WE
HAD SEVERAL OF OUR LARGER
DEPARTMENTS. COME ON BOARD. SO
THE CENTRALLY- THROUGHOUT THE
PAST EIGHT YEARS TECHNOLOGY HAS
MODERNIZED. AND WE'VE UPGRADED
AND WE DEPLOYED THE LATEST
TECHNOLOGY TO OUR SYSTEM AND
WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. I WANT
TO MENTION THAT THE PLATFORM
THAT THE FISCAL SYSTEM IS ON IS
SUPPORTED FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER
TEN YEARS. AND WE ARE CAR WE ARE
CONFIDENT THAT IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
TECHNOLOGY THAT WE WILL CONTINUE
TO. MODERNIZE THE SYSTEM- IN A
COST EFFECTIVE MANNER. AND
PUTTING SECURITY AT THE
FOREFRONT OF THAT. SO ANOTHER
WAY OF SAYING IT IS THIS IS A
LIVING SYSTEM. NOT ONE THAT SORT
OF HAS A FIX START DATE OR FIXED
AND DATE. THAT AND IF IT'S A
LIVING SYSTEM YOU COULD GET TO
TEN YEARS FROM NOW AND FEEL LIKE
IT'S WORKING FINE AND NEEDS
LITTLE TWEAKS AND IT CAN KEEP
GOING. IT CURRENTLY BECAUSE THAT
WAS A REVELATION TO ME YES TOLD
ME THAT. OKAY AND THEN THERE ARE
. IF I HAVE IT RIGHT ROUGHLY TEN
DEPARTMENTS THAT STILL HAVEN'T
COME MORE HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE
FOR THEM TO. THE SORT OF ADOPTED
AND COME ONLINE SO THAT
EVERYBODY IN THE STATE SYSTEM IS
ON PAR. SAID THE INITIAL TEN
DEPARTMENTS OUR DEFERRED- AS I
MENTIONED THEY WERE DEFERRED AT
THE TIME BECAUSE THEIR FINANCIAL
SYSTEM WAS MODERN- WE ARE
ONBOARDING THREE AND THOSE TEND
DEPARTMENTS RIGHT NOW CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF REHAB. CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT TECHNOLOGY AND WE
HAVE STARTED THE ON BOARD
PROCESS FOR CALTRANS ONE OF THE
LARGER DEPARTMENTS THREE
ESSENTIALLY HAVE SEVENTY
PARCHMENTS REMAINING. AB ONE
FIFTY SIX. I HAD A DATE TWENTY
THIRTY TWO FOR THOSE REMAINING
EFFORT DEPARTMENTS TO ON BOARD
TO FISCAL. SO WHAT WE ARE
CURRENTLY DEALING WITH THE
SEVEN. IS WE ARE I PERSONALLY
AND MET WITH EACH OF THE
DEPARTMENTS AND WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE AT WITH
THEIR CURRENT FINANCIAL SYSTEMS.
HAVING DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE END
OF LIFE AND THEIR CURRENT
FINANCIAL SYSTEMS. AND WE ARE
ENCOURAGING THEM TO COMPLETE
WHAT WE CALL. A FIT GAP ANALYSIS
BASICALLY A COMPARISON OF
FISCAL. AND THEIR SYSTEM IN ANY
GAPS THAT ARE BETWEEN THOSE TWO
AND IN FISCAL ISN'T NECESSARILY
FENNELL LAW. GET IT IT IS CAN BE
TAPERED TO THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
OF EACH DEPARTMENT. WE DO WAY
THAT THERE IS AN ENHANCEMENT
PROCESS THAT IS CORRECT AND WE
LOOK AT IT FROM MULTIPLE FACTORS
THE FISCAL WORKS IN CONJUNCTION
WITH OUR PARTNER AGENCIES- IT TO
TAKE A LOOK AT- ANY GAPS THAT
REMAIN BETWEEN HOW THE
DEPARTMENT IS CURRENTLY DOING
BUSINESS AND HOW FISCAL
OPERATES. AND ASSESS THOSE FROM
FROM MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES
INCLUDING FINANCIAL AND THEN MY
LAST QUESTION. IS ABOUT THE
TRAINING SIDE BECAUSE
ADDITIONALLY YOU TRAIN
EVERYBODY. AND THEN THE SYSTEM
MORE FTSE OR THE SYSTEM IS
DEVELOPED UNIQUELY LET'S JUST
SAY CALTRANS HAS SOME UNIQUE.
ROAD BUDGET OUR FUTURE OR
SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO DO SPECIAL
TRAINING FOR EVERYBODY IN IT AND
IF IT IS A LIVING SYSTEM TO
WHERE IT CHANGES WITH THE TIMES
YOU HAVE TO REDO TRAINING FOR
PEOPLE TO THEY HAVE TO. REFRESH
THEMSELVES TO OPERATE THE SYSTEM
AS IT CHANGES WELL I SEE
TRAINING IS ONGOING BECAUSE YOU
HAVE- YOU KNOW OR YOU HAVE FOLKS
AT LEAST DEPARTMENT YOU HAVE NEW
EMPLOYEES THAT COME ON IN ON FOR
YOU HAVE NEW. USERS TO THE
SYSTEM AND THE SENSE YOU'RE
REFERRING TO- THE BASIC
FUNDAMENTALS. AND THE FISCAL
SYSTEM TO NOT CHANGE IF THERE A
LOT. AND HE- AND THAT MAY I
CHANGE AB PROCESS THEN YES THAT
TRAINING IS AVAILABLE FOR ALL OF
OUR USERS AND OUR DEPARTMENTS.
THANK YOU. THIS WAS ACTUALLY
REAL EDUCATION TO ME BECAUSE I
WAS AROUND FOR SOME OF THE FIRST
DEPARTMENTS AND THE ROBOTICS.
AND IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S NOT
WHAT'S HAPPENING AND I HAD AN
IMPRESSION THAT THIS WAS A VERY.
STRUCTURED SYSTEM THAT THAT
WOULD BE MORE FUN AND I HAVE AN
WHOLE NEW IDEA FROM THIS THAT.
THIS IS A LIVING SYSTEM AND ONE
THAT COULD GO WELL PAST THE TEN
YEARS IF IT'S A JUST A DOOR FOR
A POP TECHNOLOGY SO I SORT OF
CAME AWAY THINKING YOU'RE THE
RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB SO.
THANK YOU FOR MEETING AND THANKS
FOR BEARING WITH THIS QUESTION
THANK YOU SENATOR SENATOR
LAYERED. THANK YOU SO MUCH

THE STATE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE.
I WE ARE IN OUR INITIAL STEPS OF
PLANNING THAT TRANSITION WE LOOK
VERY WE LOOK FORWARD TO VERY
MUCH WORKING WITH THE CONTROLLER
CAN TURKEY. I HAD TO ENSURE THAT
THAT HAPPENS- AND WHEN IT DOES
IT WILL CREATE A LOT OF
EFFICIENCIES FOR DEPARTMENTS-
AND HERE WE WILL CONTINUE AND MY
JOB IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE END
USER CENTERED SYSTEM. ARE
TRAINED ON HOW TO USE THE
SYSTEM- AND PROVIDE THOSE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE
DEPARTMENTS AS WELL AS THE- YOU
KNOW. TO LISTEN WHAT CURRENT
PAIN POINTS ARE. THIS PAST FALL
WE ADDED A AND USE OUR SERVICE
DEPARTMENT FINANCIAL SURVEY TO
ALL HUNDRED FIFTY TWO
DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE IN THE
SYSTEM. AND WE'RE CURRENTLY IN

NEXT YOU I'M OFF WILL ROUNDED
OUT WITH MESSAGE CHAU BOOK THANK
YOU SO MUCH MA'AM SHARON THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE WE
DIDN'T HAVE THE PLEASURE OF
MEETING BEFOREHAND BUT- I THINK
YOU SAID THAT. THE FISCAL IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR PROCESSING FORTY
BILLION. FOR INJURY WHEN HE
LANDED FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY
ONE BILLION IN. TRANSACTIONS
LAST YEAR LAST YEAR THAT IS
TREMENDOUS- TO OVERSEE AND THE
SAME TIME TRANSITION THIS THE
SYSTEM. I'M MY QUESTIONS-
BECAUSE MY COLLEAGUES ASKED A
NUMBER OF THE QUESTIONS I WAS
GOING TO ASK THEM AIMED AT THE
FISH THAT SATISFIED WITH
RESPONSES- BUT MY QUESTION HAS
TO DO ABOUT THE VACANCY RATES-
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE
HEARING ACROSS A NUMBER OF.
DEPARTMENTS AND YOU HAVE
CURRENTLY A 20% VACANCY RATE-
DUE TO AN INCREASE IN POSITIONS
FROM LAST YEAR'S BUDGET. OFTEN
WE ARE JUST TRYING TO GET A
SENSE OF HOW ARE YOU APPROACHING
THAT 20% WHAT ARE WHAT ARE THE
STEPS THAT YOU'RE TAKING TO-
INCREASE YOUR WORK FORCE- THIS
IS A HIGHLY TRAINED HIGHLY
SKILLED. EXPERIENCED WORK FORCE
THAT IS ALSO INHERITING THIS
VERY COMPLEX TRANSITION- PROCESS
CAN YOU JUST SHARE SOME OF YOUR
INTERNAL STEPS- THAT YOU'RE
TAKING TO FILL THAT THAT THEY
CAN SEE RIGHT INTO IT. I THINK
ENSURE THE SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION
OF THE OTHER PIECES OF THE
PASCAL SYSTEM. THANK YOU SENATOR
I ABSOLUTELY WELL AND- AND I AM.
I THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING
OUR VACANCY RATE IS AS HIGH AS
IT IS BECAUSE WE DID RECEIVE
THIS POSITION. BECAUSE PRIOR TO
RECEIVING AS POSITIONS THIS PAST
JULY- VACANCY RATE WAS RIGHT IN
LINE. HAVE ROUGHLY BETWEEN TEN
AND TWELVE PERCENT- SO OUR GOAL
IS TO GET THAT AT. THOSE
POSITIONS FILLED AND THAT THEY
CAN SEE RATE DOWN. IN DOING SO-
DETAIL. I AM WORKING VERY
CLOSELY WITH OUR STAFF TO.
CHALLENGE OURSELVES TO DIVERSIFY
HOW WE ARE RECRUITING- STARTING
WITH OUR TALENT STRATEGISTS
THEMSELVES RATE MAKING SURE THAT
THEY'RE TRAINED- ENSURING THAT.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION IS AT
THE FOREFRONT OF AS HOW WE'RE
GOING ABOUT OUR RECRUITMENT
EFFORTS- I WOULD LIKE TO SAY
THAT AT WE ARE PROUD AND WE ARE
FORTUNATE THAT FISCAL TO HAVE A
WORK FORCE THAT PROVIDES A GOOD
REPRESENTATION. OF CALIFORNIA-
AND IT AND IT STARTS WITH THOSE
FRONTLINE RECRUITMENT.
STRATEGIST THAT WORK ON THIS.
AND THEY ARE TRAINED. IN ED
DIVERSITY INCLUSION AND WE
ENSURE THAT THEY'RE GIVEN THE
TOOLS TO GET OUT THERE AND DO-
CREATIVE INCLUSIVE RECRUITMENT
PROCESSES. WE HAVE VIRTUAL AND
IN PERSON RECRUITMENT EVENTS TO
ATTRACT TALENTS AND I AND WE ARE
COMMITTED TO ALLOCATING TRAINING
RESOURCES ONCE WE GET THOSE.
ONCE WE GET THOSE EMPLOYEES
ONBOARDED AS YOU MENTIONED IT IS
A VERY UNIQUE SKILL SET AND WE
ARE AT IT SOLUTION FOR A
BUSINESS. PROPERTY RATE- AND SO
FINDING FOLKS THAT HAVE THAT
COMBINATION AS IT AND BUSINESS
SKILLS IS I'M SURE NOT JUST
CHALLENGING FOR US BUT
STATEWIDE. SO WE CONTINUE TO
LEVERAGE WHAT OTHER DEPARTMENTS
ARE DOING AND DOING GAUGE MINT
SESSIONS WITH THEM WORK CLOSELY
WITH OUR CONTROL AGENCIES. TO
ENSURE THAT AND YOU KNOW WE ARE
DOING. THE MOST- INNOVATIVE WAY
AND HAS RECRUIT AND TO THAT
APART. THANK YOU FOR THAT AND IF
THERE'S ANY WAY THAT OUR
DISTRICT CAN BE A SUPPORT- WE
THINK WE HAVE A GREAT POOL. OF
POTENTIAL WORKERS IN IN OUR
DISTRICT THE GROWING IT AND
CERTAINLY A THRIVING- BUSINESS
AND TECHNOLOGICAL- BASE WITH A
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
YOU ON THAT. IN THE FUTURE.
THANK YOU AFTER. THANK YOU
SENATOR- MRS SENATOR JOE BOKE.
THANK HERE- ARE MADAM CHAIR. SO
AS MY COLLEAGUE MENTIONED OF MY
QUESTIONS HAVE ALSO BEEN ASKED
BY OUR FROM HAMBURGERS ARE FOR
OUR CARE MEMBERS- I'M TRYING.
HERE MAYBE AND PERHAPS- I AM NOT
SURE IF I WAS IN HERE FOR
SENATOR LAYERS FULL COMMENTARY
SO IF YOU'VE ALREADY ANSWERED
THEM I'M SURE I'LL GET THE AND-
ANSWER LATER BUT I'M- I
UNDERSTAND- THAT- THE PROCESSES
THAT HAVE BEEN IN PLACE TO
DIFFERENT TO DETERMINE WHETHER
OR NOT THE AD IN ENHANCEMENT OR
FEATURE TO THE SYSTEM RIGHT NOW.
TO TALKING ABOUT FIXING THE
GLITCHES ADDING GUARDRAILS
ADDING HOUSMAN'S AND FEATURES
THE FISCAL PROGRAM- I ASK
BECAUSE I'M SURE THAT SOME
DEPARTMENTS MIGHT NOT MIGHT WANT
SPECIFIC FEATURES THAT MAY NOT
NECESSARILY BE USED BY OTHERS-
THAT WAY YOU'RE NOT OVERLOADING
THE SYSTEM WITH UNNECESSARY
ENHANCEMENTS SO WOULD YOU LIKE
TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO KIND
OF EXPRESSED SOME THOUGHTS ON ON
ON THOSE QUESTIONS. SURE THANK
YOU SENATOR- GET OUT OFFICER BY
SAYING THAT AND- WE CONTINUE TO
PRODUCE AND IMPROVE OUR PARTS
DEPARTMENTS THAT REPORT THEY
THEY LOVE THEM THERE'S COMFORT
OR SECURITY IN THE INFORMATION
IN FRONT OF THEM- AND YOU'RE
RIGHT WE HAVE A VERY. ROBUST AND
ENHANCEMENT INTAKE PROCESS SO IF
THE DEPARTMENT SUBMITS A REQUEST
TO HAVE AN IN HOUSE MEANT TO THE
SYSTEM. I THERE ARE AS MANY
PARTNERS THAT ARE INVOLVED AS
STAKEHOLDERS MEET- AND WE LOOK
AT IT FROM A TECHNICAL AND
BUSINESS SOLUTION AT FINANCIAL
SOLUTION- IN ORDER TO. MAKE THAT
DETERMINATION AND THE
PRIORITIZATION OF THIS
ENHANCEMENT. IN SAYING THAT AND
WE HAVE SOME HIGH PROFILE
ENHANCEMENTS THAT WE HAVE
PLANNED IN OVER THE NEXT FEW
YEARS AND SOME OF THEM ARE. AT
AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR
PARTNER AGENCIES THE CALIFORNIA
PAYROLL SYSTEM WILL HAVE AG
INTERFACE COMPONENT TO THE
FISCAL SYSTEM- DEPARTMENT
GENERAL SERVICES IS LOOKING AT
IN THE MARKET PLACE- A SYSTEM
THAT WILL ALSO HAVE AN INTERFACE
COMPONENTS SO. AND WE CONTINUE
TO ENGAGE WE CONTINUE TO WORK
AND ENSURE THAT ANY HOUSE THAT
THAT'S BROUGHT ON. WILL KEEP THE
SYSTEM MODERN AND SECURE. YOUR
PHONE- I THINK THAT'S ALL FOR
NOW I DON'T. THANK YOU- I
APPRECIATE ARE ALL THE QUESTIONS
BECAUSE- AND PARTICULARLY-
SENATOR LAYERED KICKING IT OFF
WITH- KIND OF I AGREE WITH YOU
SENATOR I DIDN'T QUITE
UNDERGRADUATE FIXED SYSTEM I'M
NOT VERY TECHNOLOGICALLY
ADVANCED SO. I THOUGHT IT WAS
FIXED AND WE HAVE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT THE SYSTEM FOR SO LONG I
TOO HAD GREAT CONCERNS THAT. IT
WAS GOING TO BE OBSOLETE THE
MINUTE EVERY OTHER DEPARTMENT
WAS FINALLY BROUGHT ON BOARD SO
THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL TO
UNDERSTAND. I APPRECIATE THE
FACT THAT YOU ALSO- TALKED ABOUT
CYBER SECURITY IT IS THE THING
THAT I THINK A LOT ABOUT WITH
TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE I THINK THE
LESS YOU KNOW ABOUT TECHNOLOGY
THE MORE WORRIED YOU ARE ABOUT
WHAT COULD HAPPEN THAT YOU DON'T
UNDERSTAND. WHEN I READ A LITTLE
BIT THE DESCRIPTION ABOUT- THE
CLOUD BASED- DISASTER RECOVERY
ENVIRONMENT OR SYSTEMS HELLO YOU
YOU MADE REFERENCE TO. TO
CYBERSECURITY BUT HELP ME
UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT THAT AND AS IT RELATES TO
THAT. YOU KNOW ARE THERE OTHER
SECURITY RESEARCH COSTS TO
HAVING A SYSTEM IN THE CLOUD
SHOULD WE BE IS THIS BETTER IS
THIS NOT OR DOES IT JUST DEPEND
ON MAYBE YOU CAN. SPEND A FEW
MINUTES AND TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THAT FOR US SURE. AND SO
OUR JOURNEY TO THE CLOUD- WILL
TAKE PLACE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
YEARS AND- WE'RE GOING TO TAKE
AN APPROACH- DO IT IN THREE
SEPARATE PHASES I THINK I.
SLIGHTLY ADDRESSES YEAH IN MY
QUESTIONS- BUT PROTECTING THE
SECURITY OF THE SYSTEM AND THE
INTEGRITY OF THE INFORMATION
THAT'S IN THE SYSTEM IS TOP
PRIORITY ABSOLUTELY. AND WE WORK
VERY CLOSELY WITH THE DEPARTMENT
OF TECHNOLOGY. THE IT TOO AT WE
LOOK TO THEM FOR ADDS THE SECURE
AS THE TECHNOLOGY EXPERTS IF YOU
WELL- AND WE ALSO MEASURE OUR
EFFECTIVENESS THROUGH THIRD
PARTY ASSESSMENTS SO THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
TECHNOLOGY. THE DEPARTMENT OF
MILITARY AND THE AND- THE
CALPERS THE ATER COMES IN AND
DOES ASSESSMENTS ON THE SYSTEM.
AND FROM THERE WE CAN TAKE THE
INFORMATION AND THE FEEDBACK
THAT WE RECEIVE AND USE THAT TO
IMPROVE POSTURE HER SECURITY OF
THE SYSTEM. I AM WE HAVE BEGAN
TO SHIFT OUR FOCUS TO CLOUD
COMPUTING SOLUTIONS- WHICH VERY
CENTRALLY. HAS SUBSCRIPTIONS TO
CLOUD SERVICE PROVIDERS ENOUGH
TO STORE THE INFORMATION AND WE
WILL START WITH THE DISASTER
RECOVERY WERE CURRENTLY IN THE
PROCESS OF DOING THAT SO. UP AND
BY DOING THAT- SHOULD THERE BE
ANY- DISASTER HAM IT WILL ENABLE
OUR EMPLOYEES TO HAVE MINIMAL
DOWNTIME BY HAVING THAT SECURITY
IN THE CLOUD SO. AM WE WANT TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOPHISTICATED
SECURITY- THAT'S READILY
AVAILABLE AND. WE CAN DO THAT BY
USING THAT CLOUT. I YOU
MENTIONED I YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT
HAVE AN OTHERS. LOOK OUR OR THE
ABILITY TO HAVE THEM WAY AND
WHETHER MILITARY A STATE
TECHNOLOGY. YEAH HOW. DO HOW
DOES THE SYSTEM DIFFER OR MORE
STRINGENT IF YOU'VE GOT OTHERS
LOOKING AT THE SYSTEM HOW DO YOU
COMPARE BETWEEN WHAT WHAT OTHERS
DO VERSUS WHAT WE DO OR AT AND
THEIR REACTION I MEAN YOU'RE
JUST IT'S JUST GETTING UNDER
WAY. AT WE HAVE THOSE
ASSESSMENTS ARE DONE ANNUALLY
OKAY SO WE DEFER TO THEM BASED
ON THE ANALYSIS AND THAT
ASSESSMENT AND WE WORK CLOSELY
WITH THEM IF THERE ARE ANY-
CONCERNS. DO YOU DO THE SAME FOR
OTHER DEPARTMENTS I MEAN I MEAN
I MEAN IS THIS A PEER TO PEER
REVIEW KIND OF THING ARE THEY
MORE. THEY MAY DO IT FOR OTHER
DEPARTMENTS WE WORK WITH THEM
WHEN THEY COME TO AUDIT OUR
SYSTEM OKAY. OKAY I CLEARLY HAVE
A LOT TO LEARN- OR AT LEAST
UNDERSTAND BUT THANK YOU SO
MUCH- IF NO OTHER FOLLOW UP OR
OR QUESTIONS WE'RE GONNA GO
AHEAD AND GO TO MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC. AND WE'RE GONNA START

DIRECTOR WHOSE CONSIDER WHOSE-
CANDACE YOU JUST A- CONSIDERED

THAT COME TO THE BOARD SO THANK
YOU LOOK FORWARD TO ANSWERING
ANY QUESTIONS AND APPRECIATE
YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.
THANK YOU SO MUCH LET ME START
WITH MADAM VICE CHAIR THIS TIME.
THANK YOU WELCOME BACK THANK YOU
AND PERSONALLY I DON'T THINK
THERE'S ANY JOBS THAT- YOU COULD
BE APPOINTED FOR THAT YOU WOULD
NOT BE QUALIFIED FOR. THAT I
REALLY DO I WAS JUST SHARING
WITH MY COLLEAGUES THAT I WISH I
COULD. TALK YOU INTO USING ALL
YOUR POWERS FOR GOOD TO HELP YOU
SAVE WILL INDUSTRY. WE WILL GO
WITH THE FIRST. IT'S NOT HIS
TURN. KNOWED MADAM VICE CHAIR.
TO THE FORMER SECRETARY OF
NATURAL RESOURCES YOUR TURN WILL
COME. GO AHEAD MEADOW VICE CHAIR
AND- SERIOUSLY I DON'T THINK
THERE'S A JOB THAT YOU COULDN'T
GET APPOINTED TO THAT THAT YOU
WOULD NOT SUCCESSFULLY- IMPROVE.
ANY ASPECT THE GOVERNMENT SO I
APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO
COME BACK AND- IN IT LEAST TAKE
ON THIS ROLE. FOR THE STATE
PERSONNEL BOARD. THE ONLY
QUESTION I HAVE IS THAT
ACCORDING TO THE TWENTY TWO AND
TWENTY TWENTY STATE AUDITORS
THREE LETTER TO THE REPAIR
REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE 65% OF
THE DEPARTMENT. DURING THE MOST
RECENT CYCLE OF COMPLAINTS
REVEAL FILLED MEETING THE
STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS FOR
ETHICS A TRAINS AND 50% BILL TO
MEET STATURE CRIMES FOR SEXUAL
HARASSMENT THROWDOWN. SEXUAL
HARASSMENT IS. AS GIVEN YOUR
EXPERIENCE BERMAN THE EXECUTIVE
BRANCH IN YOUR EXPERIENCE AS A
STATE EMPLOYEE. AND I RECALL
HAVING ANOTHER MEMBER IN FRONT
OF US BEFORE AND SHE SAID THERE
WAS NO. MECHANISM PLACE LIKE
SHE'S HER RESPONSE I BELIEVE WAS
SAY WELL YOU CAN'T FIRE HIM. M.
OR YOU CAN'T THERE'S NO
PUNISHMENT OR NO THERE'S NO CARE
IT TO GET THEM TO GO TO THIS
TRAINING. HOW DO YOU- ADDRESS
THAT ISSUE WITH THE STATE
EMPLOYEES OF THE PURCELL THE
CIVIL SERVICE INDIVIDUALS.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW WE DO HEAR A
LOT OF THINGS THAT. YOU KNOW
TRAINING PROBABLY WOULD ADDRESS
IN THESE THINGS WOULDN'T HAPPEN
IF THEY WERE REQUIRED TO GO TO
TRAINING- IT'S A REALLY
IMPORTANT ISSUE AND IT'S AN
IMPORTANT FUNCTION AND IT'S ONE
THAT WE- KELLY CHAR AND
DEPARTMENT. DIRECTORS AND
LEADERSHIP- NEED TO TAKE ON AND
CONTINUE TO WORK ON TOGETHER. WE
AT THE STATE PERSONNEL BOARD DO
A LOT OF THE YOU KNOW BACK IN
REVIEW AND AUDITS ON
IMPLEMENTATION OF- SEXUAL
HARASSMENT TRAINING AND POLICY.
WE HAVE SOME THINGS THAT WE HAVE
LOOKED AT AROUND THE EXTENT TO
WHICH THE WAY IN WHICH WE DO OUR
ASSESSMENT WE DO IT A DIFFERENT
POINT IN TIME OF THE YEAR. WE
IT'S AN ASSESSMENT OF WHERE WE
ARE AT A POINT IN TIME- SO
SOMETIMES. PEOPLE COME INTO
COMPLIANCE FEW WEEKS LATER WE
DON'T NECESSARILY SEE THAT
BECAUSE WE'RE DOING. THE REVIEW.
MAYBE THIS YEAR IN JULY MAYBE A
DIFFERENT YEAR INCIDENT DECEMBER
SO THERE ARE SOME THINGS TO TRY
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE.
CONSISTENT REVIEWS- THERE'S ALSO
WORK ON THE COUCH OUR SIDE- AND
I THINK THE IMPORT IMPROVEMENTS
AND INVESTMENTS SO YOU'D THAT
YOU MADE LAST YEAR TO HAVE. A
TRAINING TO HAVE A BETTER
TRACKING SYSTEM. TO HAD TO KNEEL
ON A REGULAR BASIS WHERE PEOPLE
AREN'T TAKING THEIR OF THEIR
TRAININGS AND I GUESS THE WAY IN
WHICH I THINK OF IT IS THERE'S-
THERE'S NO REPLACEMENT FOR DOING
THE WORK THERE'S NO REPLACEMENT
FOR CLARITY AND CONSISTENCY AND
THERE'S NO REPLACEMENT FOR
ACCOUNTABILITY. AND AND I THINK
IN THE CHANGES IN THE LAW THAT
INCREASE THE FREQUENCY OF THE
REQUIRED SEXUAL HARASSMENT
TRAININGS TELL US THAT THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT IS A POLICY
PRIORITY FOR THE STATE. THE
IMPROVEMENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE HAVE MORE POINT IN TIME EIGHT
BILLION OF REAL TIME-
VERIFICATION OF WHERE WE ARE ON
THE TRAINING AND- DEPARTMENT
DIRECTORS LEADERSHIP. MAKING IT
A PRIORITY AND HOW IN THE FALL
THROUGH. IS HOW I THINK YOU MOVE
THESE NUMBERS. SIMILAR TO HOW WE
SAW THE NUMBERS MOVE AND
EMPLOYEE TESTING- DURING COVERT
AND OTHER THINGS WHERE WE SAY.
THIS OUR FOCUS IS OUR PRIORITY
THIS IS HOW WE'RE TRACKING IT.
AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE SURE THAT
THE FALL THROUGH. IS THERE IN
THE WORK AND STUFF. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU- ANA. THE YOU- I DON'T
HAVE ANY OTHER. AND I LOOK
FORWARD TO YOUR CONFIRMATION.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- I'M GONNA
GO TO SENATOR A CHOI BOGAN WILL
GO THAT WAY AND WILK INTO WITH
YOU- CENTER EARLIER- THAT'S TRUE
. I STAND CORRECTED. THE SO.
SENATOR CREVASSED ONE OF MY
QUESTIONS BUT I DO HAVE ANOTHER
ONE FOR YOU. M. I'VE BEEN DOING
A LOT OF WORK WITH- PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES CHILDREN WITH
DISABILITIES COMMENTATING THE
WORKFORCE FOR THEM AS WELL AS
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES MORE
INCLUSIVE. AND SO THIS WAS OF
IMPORTANCE TO ME- ONE OF THE
GOALS YOU OUTLINED IN YOUR
RESPONSES TO THE COMMITTEE WAS
TO ELIMINATE BARRIERS THAT LIMIT
THE NUMBER. OF PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITY WORKING IN STATE
SERVICES I WAS. VERY PLEASED TO
SEE THAT. HAS SB OR CAL HR
IDENTIFIED WHAT THE BARRIERS ARE
THAT LIMIT OR MAKE IT DIFFICULT
FOR THE STATE TO HIRE
INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES.
AND IF SO WHAT IS THE PLAN TO
ELIMINATE THESE BARRIERS AND YOU
NEED MORE TOOLS AND RESOURCES.
TO HELP IDENTIFY THESE BARRIERS-
IN TO REMOVE THEM. THANK YOU FOR
THE QUESTION- AND THIS IS ONE OF
THE AREAS THAT IN THE CALIFORNIA
LEASES EMPLOYER- HAS BEEN ONE OF
THE AREAS TO WORK WITH
DEPARTMENTS AND IDENTIFY
BARRIERS- IDENTIFY HOW WE- HOW
WE DO OUTREACH. AND MAY IDENTIFY
HOW WE DO EXAMS IDENTIFY THE
REQUIREMENTS THAT WE PUT IN
PLACE AND ENSURING THAT THE
REQUIREMENTS ARE IN PLACE. ARE
IN FACT WHAT IS NECESSARY TO- TO
DETERMINE IF SOMEBODY'S
QUALIFIED FOR IT- IT'S IT IS A
IT IS A PLACE WHERE I THINK WE A
LOT OF WORK TO DO AND WHERE A
LOT OF THE WORK IS VERY
GRANULAR- I WAS. TALKING WITH
CENTER YESTERDAY ABOUT- ABOUT
EXPERIENCES THE DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS WHERE THERE WERE
STAFF THAT HAD BEEN DOING WORK-
IN THAT CASE JANITORIAL SERVICES
UNDER CONTRACT. THE CONTRACT IS
BEING TERMINATED THE DEPARTMENT
WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
HIRED THE EMPLOYEES AS A
PERMANENT STATE EMPLOYEES. THEY
WERE ALL INDIVIDUALS WITH
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AND
THE PROCESS OF REALLY LOOKING
AT. HOW DO WE- HOW DO WE HIRE
FOLKS WAS- WAS TIME CONSUMING IN
THAT CASE WE HAD- DIRECTOR THAT
WAS REALLY COMMITTED TO MAKING
IT HAPPEN AND FOLKS FIGURED OUT.
SOMETIMES WE HAVE. A DIFFERENT
PROCESS TO DO IT STATE LINO LEE
PLACEMENT OR TRAINING AND
DEVELOPMENT AND ALL THOSE PIECES
BUT IT'S NOT ALWAYS INTUITIVE
EASY CLEAR AND EVERYBODY WHO
WANTS TO. MAKE IT HAPPEN KNOWS
HOW TO DO IT SO IT'S AN AREA
WHERE I THINK THERE THERE IS AN
INTEREST ON THE PART OF THE
ADMINISTRATION AND THEIR- AND
THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES AND
THINGS THAT WE CAN DO BUT LIKE
WITH THE REST OF THE EXAMS. IT'S
CAN WE MAKE IT EASIER CAN WE
MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE DO WE
EVALUATE MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
TO ENSURE THE MINIMUM
QUALIFICATIONS ARE IN FACT WHAT
THEY NEED TO BE AND IT'S- WE
LOOK AT IT AT THE BACK END OF
THE STATE PERSONNEL BOARD IN
TERMS OF APPROVING- THOSE
PROCESSES- BUT IT. SHOULD BE A
GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO WORK
WITH. KELLY CHAR AND WORK WITH
DEPARTMENTS ON HOW TO WE
SYSTEMATICALLY IDENTIFY.
BARRIERS AND REMOVE THE ONES
THAT I'M THAT THAT ARE. THE THAT
ARE SINGS CAN BE BOUGHT. AND
ENSURE THAT WE STILL HIGHER.
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL IN THAT
WOULD PROVIDE THEM THE
OPPORTUNITIES TO SUCCEED A STATE
EMPLOYEES. IT'S REALLY
INTERESTING BECAUSE YOU'RE
DEALING WITH INDIVIDUAL.
ABILITIES AND SO. IT'S IN FOR MY
PERSPECTIVE I'M NOT AN EXPERT IN
THE AREA BUT IT I CAN SEE HOW WE
COULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO
CREATE- A STANDARD FORM WE HAVE
SO MANY VARYING ABILITIES- IN SO
MANY REQUIRE. SO MANY DIFFERENT
. TAKING THE LEAD ON THAT FRONT-
AND IT'S VERY INTERESTING I'VE
WORKED WITH. SEVERAL
ORGANIZATIONS THAT WORK WITH.
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES- AND
THE SUPPORT SYSTEM THEY ACTUALLY
PROVIDE IN ORDER FOR PEOPLE TO
BE ABLE TO WORK. IN IN THE
PRIVATE INDUSTRY AS WELL SO- THE
CONVERSATIONS I'M OPEN. I'M OPEN
OR WHEN IT COMES TO THAT. AND
YOU ALSO NOTED THAT IT IS
DIFFICULT FOR PROSPECTIVE
EMPLOYEES TO NAVIGATE THE MAZE
OF RULES NOW GOVERNING
APPOINTMENTS TO CIVIL SERVICE
POSITIONS. IN THE SIXTY
STRATEGIC PLAN SPECIFICALLY
MENTION SIMPLIFYING RULES TO
MAKE HIRING MORE EFFICIENT. WHAT
CONCRETE CHANGES SHOULD YOU
MAKE- TO MEET THE NEED TO MAKE
THE HIRING PROCESS LESS
COMPLICATED. BUT I THINK IT'S
REALLY LOOKING AT THE EXAMS-
LOOKING AT THE REQUIREMENTS
LOOKING AT HOW DO WE MAKE THINGS
AS EASY US ACCESSIBLE AS
POSSIBLE- AND ALSO HOW DO WE
ENSURE THAT WE ARE REACHING. ALL
COMMUNITIES WITH INFORMATION
ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES AND
INFORMATION RUN HAVE NAVIGATE
OUR PROCESS THESE. WONDERFUL
THANK YOU I THANK YOU FOR IF
YOU'RE FOR TIME I'M EXCITED TO
SEE YOU AS THE POSITION AS WELL
AND I WOULD JUST WANT TO ECHO
THE COMMENTS THAT MY- SENATOR
BROKE MADE. REFERS TO YOUR
ABILITY TO DO ANY JOB. BEFORE
YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK
YOU SENATOR THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR AND THANK YOU FOR OUR TIME
TOGETHER YESTERDAY WAS REALLY
INFORMATIVE AND- I FEEL LIKE
MARK MY COLLEAGUES IN AUS A
LITTLE BIT AND GOTTEN SOME OF
THE ANSWERS AROUND HOW DO WE
IMPROVE HIRING IN OUR- STATE
GOVERNMENT- AND WE TALKED A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT CIVIL SERVICE-
I KNOW THERE ARE A NUMBER OF.
INNOVATIONS IN PUBLIC SECTOR-
WORK FORCE LOOKING AT PRE
APPRENTICESHIP AND
APPRENTICESHIP TYPE MODELS- I
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK.
WITH A COMMUNITY PROJECT THAT
DID A BOOT CAMP FOR EXAMPLE FOR
STATE JOBS WHEN THEY HAD YOU
KNOW DOZENS OF VACANCIES AND WE-
SORT OF TRAIN CRAFT AND HELP
EIGHTY L. A. COUNTY RESIDENTS GO
THROUGH A PROCESS TO HELP FILL.
THOSE VACANCIES AND ONLY ONE GOT
THROUGH THE COUCH OUR PROCESS
AND- THE COMMUNITY NOR THE
AGENCY COULD SORT OF TRACK WHAT
AT IN TERMS OF WHAT HAPPENED TO
THOSE OTHER- FOLKS AND SO. THAT
WAS AN INTENTIONAL PROJECT AND
SO MANY GREAT POTENTIAL WORKERS
JUST FELL THROUGH THIS.
INCREDIBLE GAP- IN OUR SYSTEM
AND SO YOU KNOW ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT STRUCK ME ABOUT OUR
CONVERSATION IS THAT YOU
MENTIONED HOUSE CIVIL SERVICE
WELL IT'S DESIGNED TO SORT OF
BE- MERITORIOUS AND NON
DISCRIMINATORY- IT CAN ACTUALLY
CREATE A SYSTEM WHERE THOSE WHO
KNOW HOW TO DO THE TEST AND GO
THROUGH THE PROCESS. HE KIND OF
GAME THAT SYSTEM AND GET
THROUGH- TO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
WORK- WITH THE STATE. WHEN YOU
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT OTHER
METHODS HOW CAN WE ENCOURAGE OUR
STATE PERSONNEL BOARD TO REALLY
THINK OF- OTHER ALTERNATIVES- IN
IN YOUR ROLE TO BEING ABLE TO
FILL SOME OF THOSE GAPS THAT
FOLKS ARE FALLING THROUGH IN
TERMS OF THE OLD SYSTEM AND-
TEST. AND PILOT YOU KNOW OTHER
OPPORTUNITIES AND APPROACHES
THAT HELP US GET TO THE SORT OF
VOLUME OF WORKERS THAT WE NEED-
IN OUR STATE AGENCIES. THANK YOU
FOR THE QUESTION THANK YOU FOR A
TIME IT WAS- I REALLY APPRECIATE
OUR TIME OUR CONVERSATION- I
THINK YOU HIT ON ONE OF THEM
WHICH IS IN TERMS OF
APPRENTICESHIPS AND THE
OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THAT AS A
AS A WAY OF. OF GETTING
EMPLOYEES INTO STATE SERVICES
WELL AS UPPER OFFERING
PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR
SOME OF OUR CURRENT EMPLOYEES
WHO CAN BE AND OTHER CAPACITIES.
LIKE IN THE YOU KNOW ONE AREA
THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF- CHALLENGE
IN RECRUITING LIKE INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY- FACED AGAIN I THINK
PART OF THIS IS WE HAVE TO GO
BACK AND WE HAVE TO WE HAVE A
REPUBLIC ASIANS ON THE
CONSTITUTION YEAH BUT WE HAVE TO
LOOK AT WHAT IS THE- WHAT ARE
THE SIMPLEST MOST ACCESSIBLE
WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN ENSURE.
THAT WE ARE MEETING THOSE
REQUIREMENTS AND- AND ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT I NOTICE IS THAT A
LOT OF THE PROCESS YOU DO MUCH
BETTER WHEN YOU KNOW PARTICULAR
TERMINOLOGY OR WHAT DO YOU HAVE
SOMEBODY WHO CAN HELP YOU WORK
THROUGH THE PROCESS BECAUSE THEY
UNDERSTAND IT. THAT IN EFFECT
THE DEBT THAT HAS THE EFFECT OF.
NOT BEING ACCESSIBLE TO
EVERYBODY WHO DOESN'T HAVE THAT
ACCESS SO I THINK WE NEED TO
STEP BACK AND SAY. OKAY WE HAVE
TO DO THE EXAM WE HAVE TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE
THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE-
UNDER LAW. BUT HOW DO WE DO IT
IN A WAY. THAT WE MAKE IT EASIER
WAY TO ONE OF THE AREAS WHERE WE
SEE CASES EVERY WEEK. IS
INDIVIDUALS WERE COMING THE
STATE SERVICE WHO HAVE DIFFERENT
EXPERIENCE. THAN. WHAT WE'RE
USED TO SEEING IN THOSE
CLASSIFICATIONS. HOW DO WE WITH
ARE YOU RESOURCE- PROFESSIONALS
ACROSS STATE GOVERNMENT. SO THAT
THEY KNOW HOW TO TRANSLATE. THIS
PERSON WHO WAS WORKING IN RETAIL
THIS PERSON WHO WAS WORKING IN
FOOD SERVICE INDUSTRY. WHO DID A
LOT OF ANALYTICAL WORK- THEN
TRANSLATE THOSE SKILLS INTO HOW
THEY FIT INTO OUR ANALYTICAL
CLASSES SO THAT WE CAN. GET
FOLKS AND I THINK. THERE'S SOME
WORK THAT WAS DONE IN THE
ATTORNEY CLASSIFICATIONS TO TRY
TO. SIMPLIFY THAT AND TRY TO
MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE I'M
EXCITED AROUND THE INTEREST OF
DOING THAT WORK AROUND. OUR
ANALYST CLASS BECAUSE IT IS ONE
OF THOSE BROAD BASE-
CLASSIFICATIONS WERE A LOT OF
DEPARTMENTS HIGHER STUFF. BOMB
FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT
FUNCTIONS- BUT I THINK WE NEED
TO. LOOK ARE EXAMS LOOK AT OUR
PIPELINE LOOK AT OUR RECRUITING.
AND LEARN FROM THOSE OPPORTUNE
DOES EXIST EXPERIENCES WHERE WE
ARE. GETTING GETTING FOLKS WHO
ARE INTERESTED IN COMING INTO
STATE SERVICE INTERESTED IN THE
MISSION. BUT WE'RE LOSING THEM
THROUGH THE PROCESS. BECAUSE
THEY YOU KNOW HOW HOW DO WE HOW
DO WE HELP INCREASE THAT YIELD
SO THAT WE CAN GET A WORKFORCE.
THAT IS- THAT IT CONTINUES TO BE
TALENTED AND COMMITTED TO PUBLIC
SERVICE AND REFLECTIVE OF OUR
STATE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
THAT ANSWER AND I REALLY ALSO
APPRECIATE OUR CONVERSATION
ABOUT THE MYTHOLOGY AND STIGMA
AROUND GOVERNMENT WORKERS AND
HELD THAT. SORT OF- LABEL AND-
SORT OF- THE STEREO TYPE ALSO
MAKES IT TOUGH FOR FOLKS WHO
WANT TO SAY- I WANT TO JOIN. IN
THAT. THAT WORK FORCE I WANT TO
JOIN- THAT OCCUPATION- HOW DO WE
VALUE OUR STATE WORKERS HOW WE
HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT THEIR
SKILLS ARE CERTIFIED SKILLS
THAT. CREATE THAT LATTER FOR
PROMOTION AND- AND IT STARTS
WITH HOW WE BRING THEM INTO THE
PROCESS SO I WANTED TO SAY THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR OUR TIME AND I'M
LOOKING FORWARD TO CONFIRMING
YOUR NOMINATION TODAY. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU SENATOR SENATOR
LAYERED THANK YOU VERY MUCH-
MADAM CHAIR AND- HE I WAS
REMINDED AFTER YOU WERE HERE
LAST WEEK. THAT YOU AND I WERE
CONFIRMED TOGETHER ON THE SAME
DAY AS THE ONLY TWO THAT WERE IN
FRONT OF THE RULES COMMITTEE SO
TRULY FOR ME EVERY WEEK ROLES IS
ON AMOUNT OF SUBSTANCE WITH- ARE
YOU. I JUST HAVE COMPLETE
CONFIDENCE IN YOUR DOING THIS IS
A DON'T FEEL THE NEED. TO
QUESTION YOU VERY MUCH AND AN
AMAZINGLY. MAYBE NOT ON THE SAME
SUBJECT THAT I TOTALLY AGREE
WITH WITH- THE CENTER FROM
BAKERSFIELD IT YOU COULD DO
ANYTHING AND WE'D LOVE YOU BACK
IN HOWEVER COULD. AFTER SPENDING
FOUR DAYS ON OFFSHORE WIND COULD
YOU COME BACK IN COORDINATED FOR
THE ADMINISTRATION. I NEED HELP
RIGHT NOW. V. THERE THE I JUST
THOUGHT I'D ASK YOU ONE HIGH
LEVEL QUESTION. BECAUSE YOU'RE
THOUGHTFUL AND IT IT PLAYS A
LITTLE OFF OF WHAT. SENATOR
SMALLWOOD CUEVAS WAS ASKING AND
IT'S WHEN YOU HAVE A MERIT
SYSTEM. ON ONE SIDE YOU HAVE ALL
THE MERIT FACTORS TO TRY TO
PROTECT FAIRNESS CITY TRYING TO
GIVE EVERYBODY EQUAL
OPPORTUNITY. AND ON THE OTHER
SIDE. YOU HAVE TO MOVE WITH THE
TIMES AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE
PROCESS AND SOMETIME IN YOUR
NATURAL LIFE. SO HOW DO YOU OF
SOMEBODY THAT IS GOING TO GO IN
TO THE TOP OF THE SYSTEM BALLOTS
THAT MERIT PARK. AND THE
OPERATIONAL MOVE WITH THE TIMES
PART HOW DO YOU DO THAT. BY THE
IS A PLUS THAT I'M PUT A LOT OF
TIME THINKING ABOUT HOW TO BEST
DO THAT AND I GO BACK TO
THINKING ABOUT WHERE THIS MERIT
SYSTEM STARTED. AND WHERE IT IS
NOW RIGHT IT WAS AN INTEREST IN
TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
DIDN'T HAVE. CRONYISM THAT THERE
WAS AN OPEN PROCESS. YOU KNOW
GOING BACK TO I THINK THE
NINETEEN TENS. AND A NICE THING
IS WE S. WE IT IS SOMETIMES WHEN
WE BUILD IT AT SCALE. WE CAN WE
CAN WE IF WE DON'T KEEP FIGURING
OUT MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE
EVALUATING THAT WHAT WE ARE
DOING IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
WE CAN END UP CREATING A
DIFFERENT LANGUAGE WHERE YOU
HAVE TO WHERE THE WHERE THE
PROCESS ITSELF. GETS MORE
COMPLICATED AND IN SOME WAYS.
THE FOLKS WHO HAVE THE CAPACITY
TO BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE IT
BECAUSE SOMEBODY ELSE HELP THEM.
IT'S A DIFFERENT FORM IN WHICH
WE DON'T END UP BEING- EQUITABLE
AND I THINK PART OF THE BUT I
THINK PART OF WHAT WE HAVE TO DO
IS GO BACK AND LOOK AT. WHAT IS
HAPPENING WITH OUR- IN SOME WAYS
I THINK IS NOT ALL LIKE SOME OF
THE WORK THAT'S HAPPENING HIGHER
EDUCATION- IN CALIFORNIA POST
TO- NINE. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
WE HAVE A DIVERSE STUDENT BODY.
WHAT WHAT ARE THE PIECES THAT
ARE YIELDING THE STUDENT BODY
THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE HOW DO WE
LOOK AT. STRUCTURAL THINGS THAT
ARE REDUCING OPPORTUNITY AND
LIMITING OUR OVERALL POOL. ONE
OF THE THINGS I'VE THOUGHT A LOT
ABOUT IS HOW DO WE THINK ABOUT
THE ROLE. OF ACADEMIES IN
TRAINING. ARE A FOR OUR LAW
ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL. IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT IN SOME WAYS.
IT ALSO REQUIRES THAT PEOPLE ARE
AWAY FROM THEIR FAMILY FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME IN ORDER
TO BE ABLE TO COME INTO THIS JOB
AND- IT'S A LOT HARDER FOR
SINGLE MOM TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS. THEN
IT'S GOING TO BE FOR SOMEBODY
WHO WHO HAS A BROADER NETWORK
OF- WHO CAN. WHO CAN CARE FOR
THE KIDS I GUESS I STEP BACK AND
SAY. THE OVERALL GOAL OF MERIT
TO THE OVERALL GOAL OF FAIR. THE
OVERALL GOAL OF EQUITABLE IS
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. HOW DO WE
MAKE SURE THAT OUR SYSTEM TODAY
IS CONSISTENT WITH THAT IN
TODAY'S REALITY. HOW ARE WE- YOU
KNOW REACHING. STUDENTS WHO ARE
INTERESTED IN SERVICE. TO KNOW
WHAT THE OPPORTUNITY IS TO DO
AMAZING WORK AND HAVE. THE KIND
OF PRIVILEGE AND OPPORTUNITY
THAT I HAVE HAD IN STATE
SERVICE. TO GET TO SERVE AND DO
WORK OF SIGNIFICANT IMPACT RIGHT
HOW DO WE- AND HOW DO WE- LOOK
AT EVALUATING ALL OF FOUR
DIFFERENT TESTS TO MAKE SURE
THAT. I THINK WE NEED TO GO IN
THE DIRECTION OF SIMPLIFYING WE
NEED TO GO IN THE DIRECTION. OF
OF PERHAPS LESS- LESS LIKE YOU
KNOW WE LOOK AT THE
CLASSIFICATIONS FOR- FOR. INOTES
SPECIFIC CLASSIFICATIONS FOR
FOLKS WHO ARE WORKING- THE P.
YOU SEE. THAT HAVE VERY SIMILAR
WORK TO FOLKS THAT ARE WORKING.
AT SAY ENERGY COMMISSION WE NEED
TO STEP BACK AND LOOK AT THE
SYSTEM AND LOOK AT CLASSICAL
SOLVATION. LOOK AT- TRYING TO
MAKE IT BE SIMPLER. SO THAT
FOLKS WHO ARE COMING INTO THE
SYSTEM. CAN BETTER NAVIGATE IT
AND KNOW HOW TO MOVE THROUGH IT
BUT BUT THIS IS WHAT YOUR
QUESTION IN YOUR INQUIRY. IS THE
PIECE THAT I FEEL LIKE I AM
REALLY INTERESTED IN HOW TO WE
IT IN IN GETTING YOU A BETTER
ANSWER OVER TIME BECAUSE I'M NOT
I'M NOT YET COMFORTABLE THAT I'D
LIKE BILL HERE'S HERE'S WHERE WE
GO AND HOW DO WE BALANCE IT. BUT
I THINK WE NEED TO WORK TOWARDS
THE PRINCIPAL AND WE NEED TO
SIMPLIFY THE WAY IN WHICH WERE
APPLYING IT SO THAT WE CAN. MAKE
IT BE FASTER- BUT ACCOMPLISH THE
OVERALL GOAL OF. DECISIONS BASED
ON MERIT FAIR EQUITABLE ETCETERA
YOU KNOW THAT'S WHY I'M PLEASED
YOU'RE GOING THERE. IS THAT WILL
BE INCREDIBLE AND JUST OFFER ONE
THING THAT YOU SORT OF TRIGGERED
IN YOUR CALM AND IS. OF THE
SITUATION THAT'S RELATED. IN
THAT STAYED IN MY HOME COUNTY.
WITH. ONE EXCEPTION UNTIL A WEEK
AGO. OUR EVERYONE THAT MAY IT ON
TO THE BAY HAD TO RUN. AT EVERY
MAN GOT A POINT. AND SO- ARE
I'VE BEEN WRITING DID
MINISTRATION AND TRYING TO. GET
THEM TO BREAK OUT OF THAT BUT I
WORKED WITH SOME OF THE JUDGES
TO DRILL DOWN. AND IT TURNS OUT
THAT. A NUMBER OF THE CANDIDATES
THAT WERE WOMEN. FOR POINT MATT.
HAD TAKEN LEAVES RIDE WORK PART
TIME. OR HAD DONE CERTAIN THINGS
THAT THEN COUNTED AGAINST THEM.
IN THE- SYSTEM AND I KNOW WHEN I
WAS. IN THE CIVIL SERVICE SYSTEM
FOR TWENTY FIVE YEARS I TOOK A
YEAR OFF. TO TAKE INTENSIVE
SPANISH AND SPENT SIX MONTHS IN
CENTRAL SOUTH AMERICA. AND I
BECAME THIS ONE OF THE TWO
SPANISH TESTERS FOR THE AGENCY
WHERE I WAS. AND YET. YOU YEAH I
DIDN'T GET THE SALARY
DIFFERENTIAL BECAUSE I TO BREAK
IN SERVICE AND YET. I HAD A
BREAK IN SERVICE THAT COST ME TO
GROW. AND YET IT DIDN'T COUNT IN
THIS REGENCY'S TIPS FOR DOING IT
AND SO. I JUST HOPE THAT THAT
WONDERFUL ANALYTICAL BASIS YOU
JUST SHOWED WERE YOU MENTIONED
SOME OF THESE THINGS. IS JUST
WHAT YOU BRING TO THIS BECAUSE I
THINK THAT THAT A LOT OF TIMES
PEOPLE ARE JUST ON ON AUTO PILOT
ON SOME OF THESE MERIT SYSTEM
THINGS. AND THEY DON'T REALIZE.
THAT THEY'RE SCREENING PEOPLE
OUT OR THEY'RE NOT ALLOWING
PEOPLE TO SUCCEED HAVE EVERY
MUCH A CHANCE OR BUILDING TO DO
IT SO. R. BELIEVE THAT WE'RE
GONNA SEE YOU HERE FOR A THIRD
ONE SOMETIME. THANKS FOR YOUR
WILLINGNESS TO DO THIS I REALLY
LOOK FOR THIS IS ONE OF THOSE
RARE TIMES IT'S LIKE A- YOU KNOW
THE PUBLIC TESTIMONY HASN'T
HAPPENED YET I LOOKS FORWARD TO
SUPPORTING YOU. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU SENATOR- I ACTUALLY WROTE
DOWN THE WORD ANALYTICAL EXACTLY
WHAT'S NEEDED AND REALLY TAKING
A HARD LOOK AND- COMING UP WITH
CREATIVE IDEAS AND I THINK WE
KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE WITH YOU.
AND YOUR MULTIPLE ROLES- THAT
THAT'S ONE OF YOUR FORTES BUT
YOU DON'T DO IT WITHOUT
ANALYTICAL. EVALUATION AS
OPPOSED TO JUST- I HAVE THIS
IDEA LET'S THROW IT OUT THERE
AND SEE IF IT WORKS- YOU KNOW
FROM THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF
GOVERNMENT SO. I DON'T HAVE A
QUESTION I THINK I THINK THAT- I
THINK THAT YOUR WORK SPEAKS FOR
ITSELF- HI SYNC THE TRUST THAT
PEOPLE HAVE IN YOU TO BE
STRAIGHTFORWARD TO. TACKLE
THINGS HEAD ON- YOU KNOW WE ARE
SO APPRECIATIVE- AND I THINK
THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. I MEAN
YOU WERE PART OF THE-
INITIATIVE- THAT NOW THE
CALIFORNIA LEADS INITIATIVE AND-
YOU KNOW I WONDER WHAT OTHER
STATES ARE DOING. YOU KNOW AND
ARE BUT ARE WE LEADING IN THE
DEGREE THAT WE THERE'S ALL THIS
WORK TO BE DONE AND- YOU KNOW IS
ANYONE IS THERE ANY OTHER STATES
WELL MAYBE I DO HAVE A QUESTION.
IN YOUR WORK THERE DID YOU SEE
ANY OTHER STATE AT THIS LEVEL
THAT WAS DUE IN. CREATIVE THINGS
YOU COULD LEARN FROM I MEAN I
KNOW WE'RE BIGGER THAN MOST
STATES BUT DID YOU SEE ANYTHING.
THERE OR TO BE DETERMINED- VERY
GOOD QUESTION I WISH I HAD A
BETTER ANSWER I THINK- I THINK.
PARTLY TO BE DETERMINED BY. MY
SENSE IS THAT. OTHER STATES AND
CALIFORNIA IN THE PAST. HAVE HAD
DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PEOPLE TO MORE SEAMLESSLY MOVE
ACROSS DIFFERENT LEVELS OF
GOVERNMENT- AND THEIR
OPPORTUNITIES IN THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT FOR EXAMPLE FOR
PEOPLE TO GET DIFFERENT KINDS OF
EXPERIENCES. THOSE HAVE BEEN
SOME OF THE THINGS I'VE BEEN
INTERESTED IN TO TRY TO- YOU
KNOW. IN A EASE THE FREE EXTENT
TO WHICH FOLKS WHO HAVE
EXPERIENCE AND LOCAL THE- SCHOOL
DISTRICTS. COME TO WORK IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND SOME
OF THE KIND OF THE CROSS
POLLINATION THAT HAPPENS WITHOUT
WORK THOSE ARE SOME MODELS HAVE
BEEN INTERESTED IN. IN TERMS OF
LOOKING BROADLY AT- ED OTHER
FOLKS TO DO A BETTER JOB OF- OF
RECRUITING RETAINING AND
PROMOTING- I'LL HAVE TO GET BACK
TO YOU IN ORDER TO FEEL
COMFORTABLE WITH MY ANSWER
BECAUSE AT THE MOMENT WOULD BE A
LITTLE BIT OFF THE CUFF AND A
MOCK COMFORTABLE THAT I. THAT I
KNOW THAT THE- THERE ARE SOME
PIECES THAT I'VE SEEN THAT ARE
INTERESTING IN TERMS OF FOLKS
DOING A BETTER JOB OF SOME
COMPONENTS BUT I DON'T. FEEL
LIKE I UNDERSTAND ALL THE
PROGRAMS WELL ENOUGH TO BE ABLE
SAVE THIS MODEL I THINK IS
APPLICABLES CALIFORNIA WE SHOULD
LOOK AT MORE OF THIS. OUTSIDE OF
THIS- OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS TO
BE ABLE TO MOVE FROM DIFFERENT
KINDS OF EXPERIENCES AND DOING
IT MORE SEAMLESSLY AND EASIER
THAN THAN IT IS IN OUR SYSTEM.
