REPUBLICAN COUNTERPARTS PLAYERS

COMMITTEES WILL START TODAY I
WANTED TO.
HE'S NOT HERE YET BUT JUST FOR
THE RECORD WELCOME SENATOR
MCGUIRE.
WHO'S A NEW MEMBER OF THIS
COMMITTEE.
AND INDICATE THAT SENATOR HUESO
WILL BE ABSENT TODAY. AND ALSO
IF ANYBODY'S HERE FOR S. B.
EIGHT EIGHTY ONE WHICH IS FILE
ITEM NUMBER THREE BY SENATOR

FOR CON SENT.
BUT WE CAN START WITH FILE ITEM

SENATOR GHOULIES.
YOU ALSO HAVE S. B. THIRTY SIX.
YOU CAN WAY.
MORNING MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS.
AS THAT MANY DO YOU MAY REMEMBER
LAST YEAR I PRESENTED A BILL TO
THIS COMMITTEE THAT WOULD HAVE
BANNED SMOKING AT STATE PARKS
AND STATE BEACHES.
UNFORTUNATELY AFTER PASSING
THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE THIS
THAT BILL WAS VETOED BY GOVERNOR
BROWN.
THAT ALL DRESSED IN THAT HIS
ISSUES IN JUST A MOMENT. SIDE
THIS BILL EIGHT THIRTY FIVE
WOULD PROHIBIT THE USE OF
SMOKING PRODUCTS OF ANY KIND.
THAT A UNIT OF THE STATE PARK
SYSTEM. AND MAKE IT AN
INFRACTION PUNISHABLE BY A FINE
OF UP TO TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS.
THE MAXIMUM FINE IN LAST YEAR'S
VERSION OF THE BILL WAS ONE
HUNDRED DOLLARS.
I LOWERED THAT TO TWENTY FIVE
DOLLARS TO REDUCE
THE ABOUT ASSESS TO THE VIOLATOR
WHICH WAS IN DIRECT RESPONSE TO
THE GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE.
I ALSO SPLIT LAST YEAR'S BILL
INTO TWO DIFFERENT PHYSICAL
LOCATIONS.
THIS BILL DEALS WITH STATE PARKS
EIGHT THIRTY SIX WHICH WILL
HOPEFULLY ARE HERE IN A MOMENT
DEALS WITH STATE BEACHES.
THE SMOKING PROHIBITION
CONTAINED IN THIS BILL CAN ONLY
BE ENFORCED AFTER SIGNS HAVE
BEEN POSTED.
THIS BILL ALSO AUTHORIZES THE
DIRECTOR PARKS AND RECREATION TO
DESIGNATE AREAS WITHIN UNITS OF
THE STATE PARK SYSTEM AS EXEMPT
FROM THE SMOKING PROHIBITION.
A FOR THE MORE I'D LIKE TO
ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE SUGGESTED
AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD HELP
CLARIFY AN ADDITIONAL EXEMPTION.
FOR THE RELIGIOUS USE OF
TOBACCO.
WHILE THE ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS
OF SMOKING AND HEALTH CARE COSTS
TO THE STATE ARE WELL KNOWN. THE
ADVERSE IMPACTS THAT SMOKING HAS
ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND RESULTS
IN FINANCIAL BURDEN TO THE STATE
IS NOT SO MUCH.
BUT.
TOBACCO PRODUCTS CONTAIN MORE
THAN A HUNDRED AND FIFTY TOXIC
CHEMICALS.
I AND CIGARETTE* ALTHOUGH
THEY'RE SMALL IN SIZE HAVE A
HUGE NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE
ENVIRONMENT AND ECOSYSTEM IN OUR
STATE.
PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW THIS BUT IN
TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN AYE AYE.
THEY CERTAINLY KNOW THAT OUR
WILD FIGHT FIRE SEASON WAS THE
MOST DESTRUCTIVE ONE ON RECORD
BUT WHAT THEY MAY NOT KNOW IS
THAT IT.
.
MANY OF THE. BIGGEST FIRES THAT
WE HAVE FACED IN OUR STATE FIVE
OF THE LAST TWENTY LARGEST ONES.
OCCURRED DOT.
FIVE.
I HAD. CHOOSE ME LET ME SAY THIS
DIFFERENTLY. CAL FIRE REPORTS
THAT MORE THAN FIVE THOUSAND
FIRES WERE STARTED IN CALIFORNIA
OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS AND
APPROXIMATELY FIVE THOUSAND
ACRES BURNED BY CARELESSLY
DISCARDED CIGARETTES.
AN AVERAGE OF FIVE HUNDRED AND
FORTY SIX PREVENTABLE FIRES
ANNUALLY.
IMPROPERLY DISCARDED CIGARETTE
* IN CIGARETTE RELATED WASTE
ON JUST BECAUSE FIRE THEY ALSO
POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT I THINK
THIS IS A COMMON SENSE
APPROACH HELP LOWER THE RISK OF
FOREST FIRES IN HELPING TO CURB
POLLUTION NIGHT RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR HIGH VOTE.
THOSE A SPORT.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS WE GO MONSTER DO NOT
WITH THE TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND.
THANK YOU SENATOR GLAZER FOR
THIS BILL ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT THIS.
.
I JUST THINK I WANT TO FRAME MY
REMARKS BY REMINDING EVERYONE IN
THE OF THE OBVIOUS I MEAN STATE
PARKS HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED STATE
PARKS BECAUSE THEY HAVE RARE.
HISTORICAL ECOLOGICAL. OR.
RECREATIONAL VALUE
AND WE SHOULD BE DOING ALL WE
CAN TO PROTECT US BACK THAT AND
PROTECT THEM.
LEAD AND DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE A
AT SENATOR GLAZER MENTIONS ON
SMOKING IS REALLY DANGEROUS IT'S
REALLY DANGEROUS TO HUMANS. AND
IT'S EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS TO
WILDLIFE.
MILLION BIRDS AND A HUNDRED
THOUSAND MAMMALS ARCHED KILLED
EVERY YEAR FROM DISCARDED
CIGARETTES. SO.
I THINK THIS BILL IS A NO
BRAINER AYE AYE I HEARD YOUR
SUPPORT AND.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
OF THE SUPPORT.
GOOD MORNING CHAIRMAN MEMBERS I
BETSEY ARMSTRONG ON BEHALF OF
THE COUNTY HEALTH EXECUTIVES
ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING LOCAL
HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND URGE YOUR
SUPPORT.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OBVIOUSLY SHAUN BEHALF
OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA. WE
ARE AT THIS BILL IS ALIGNED WITH
THE CITY'S BUT LONG STANDING
POLICY TO PROMOTE.
STRICTER SMOKING STANDARDS AT
AT OUR LOCAL. BEACHES AND PARKS
OVER IN STRONG SUPPORT THINK.
QUANTUM IT UNDER WITHOUT A
CALIFORNIANS SUPPORT.
WE ARE CURRY WITHCALIFORNIANS
AGAINST WASTE IN SUPPORT.
ANY OPPOSITION TO THIS MEASURE.
QUESTIONS FOR THE MEMBERS.
CENTER STONE.
ACCORDING TO MISTER CHAIRMAN.
MEMBERS.
SENATE GLAZER IN NOW IN PREVIOUS
DISCUSSIONS AND UNITE HEAD OF
OVER OTHER ISSUES WE WE TALK
ABOUT ONCE BEFORE ABOUT AN
ANIMAL CRUELTY ISSUE.
AND YOUR CONCERN WAS.
THE DOUBLING OF THE FINES THAT
WAS THE PURPOSE OF THE BILL AND
YOU SAID MY GOSH.
WITH ALL THE ENHANCEMENTS SECOND
REALLY MAKE THE THE TICKET.
REALLY EXPENSIVE.
AND I NOTICE THAT.
WITH THIS TWENTY FIVE DOLLAR
INFRACTION THAT.
IN OUR STAFF REPORTER SAYS SO
WITH THE ENHANCEMENTS TO GO TO
TWO HUNDRED BUT ACCORDING TO THE
GOVERNOR'S VETO IT TO GO TO FOUR
HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE DOLLARS FOR.
BASICALLY LIGHTING UP.
HOW DO YOU JUSTIFY THE OF HAND
SPENCE IN THIS BILL?
HA AS OPPOSED TO THE
ENHANCEMENTS IN THE OTHER BILL
AND WHY IT WOULDN'T SIGNAGE.
SUFFICE.
.
AND MY STAFF PORTIS'S A SIGNAGE
USE THAT RESULTS IN A NINETY
PERCENT DECREASE IN THE NUMBER
PEOPLE THAT WILL.
PHOTO BY SMOKER FOLLOW THE
ADVICE OF THE SIGN.
AND ARE WE GONNA HAVE UP.
SMOKING POLICE ON BEACHES YOU
KNOW.
READY PEOPLE OUT FOR ONE OF THE
FEW AREAS HE CAN GO AND
RECREATION WITH BREEZES AND.
YOU KNOW WEEKEND SPOKEN
ASTRONAUTS ANYMORE THAN UP ON
THIS AND I'M.
I'M COMING ANTI SMOKER AYE I
THINK THAT SMOKING IS TERRIBLE I
THINK IT'S HORRIBLE FOR YOUR
HEALTH I'M.
I SUPPORTED THE BILL'S TO PENAL
REGULATE.
VAPING DEVICES AND.
I THINK IT'S HORRIBLE BUT I ALSO
UNDERSTAND PEOPLE HAVE PERSONAL
RIGHT TO DO WHAT THEY WANNA DO
WITH THEIR BODIES.
SO I'M CONCERNED ABOUT
ENHANCEMENT SOMEONE LIKE TO KNOW
WHAT YOUR FEELINGS ON THE SIGNS.
PAID A CENTER THANK YOU FOR YOUR
QUESTION I DO THINK THAT THE
ISSUE OF THE ENHANCEMENTS THAT
GO ON TO THESE FINDS IS A
BROADER ISSUE THAN THIS BILL.
OBVIOUSLY I'M REDUCING THAT FIND
IN THIS PROPOSAL FROM A HUNDRED
DOLLARS TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS.
I.
THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SOME AT
COST TO AN INFRACTION HAD TRIED
TO MAKE IT AS MINIMAL AS IT CAN
BE BUT I. THINK THAT THE BROADER
CONVERSATION ABOUT THESE THESE
ADD ONS IS A WORTHY ONE TO HAVE.
I DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARILY
APPROPRIATE HERE BUT I RECOGNIZE
THAT THAT CONSEQUENCE THAT COMES
FROM PROPOSING TO FIND.
I'M IN REGARD TO A SMOKING
POLICE. LIKE WE WE DON'T HAVE
SMOKING POLICE OUTSIDE OF OUR
PUBLIC BUILDINGS WE HAVE A
PROHIBITION WE PUT APPROPRIATE
SIGNAGE UP. WE ASK PEOPLE TO
RESPECT THE LAW. HAD TO FOLLOW
IT AND AND RARELY DO YOU FIND
THAT.
THEORIES TO BE AN ENFORCEMENT
ACTION AGAINST AN INDIVIDUAL AND
AND PUBLIC SPACES ALL AROUND OUR
STATE.
I THINK THAT WHAT WE'D LIKE TO
SEE IS THAT.
HAVE THE RULES BE CLEAR HAVE
SIGNAGE BE POSTED I DON'T
IMAGINE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
THAT.
ENFORCEMENT ISSUE I THINK WE
WOULD EXPECT THE PUBLIC TO
FOLLOW OUR GUIDELINES IN THAT I
DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A
PROBLEM.
THE LIST LOOK AT PEOPLE GO TO
OUR PARKS AND THEY GO TO OUR
BEACHES WITH THE EXPECTATION
THAT THEY CAN ENJOY THEIR. THEIR
ENVIRONMENT AND AND CERTAINLY
SECOND HAND SMOKE IS A SERIOUS
PROBLEM.
AND I THINK THAT'S IT A PURPOSE
OF THIS BILL IS THAT MENTIONED.
AS WELL AS OTHER FIRE PROTECTION
ISSUES. AND POLLUTION.
THANKS AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR
QUESTION.
IT'S COULD UNDER THIS BILL CAN
YOU SMOKE MARIJUANA IN A PUBLIC
PARK NOW.
NO.
NOT THAT SIGNS ARE POSTED AGAIN
THEY WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW THE
SAME RULES THAT.
I WOULD BE FOR OTHER TOBACCO
PRODUCTS. VIA A ALTHOUGH WE'RE
SEPARATE BRANCH THROUGH WHICH WE
STAND TALL. IN THIS DIVIDED
GOVERNMENT BUT HAVE YOU HAD THAT
GIVEN THE FACT THAT THIS MEASURE
WAS VETOED. HAS THERE BEEN ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH THE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH WITH RESPECT TO
THEIR OPINION.
NOW I HAVE NOT SPOKEN WITH THE
GOVERNOR ABOUT. HOW HIS VETO
MESSAGE AND AS YOU KNOW THESE
THINGS THAT WE THINK OF THE
RIGHT THING TO DO WILL KEEP
WORKING AT ITS AND?
WE HOPE THE EXECUTIVE I WILL TRY
TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THE
EXECUTIVE IN THIS CASE HAVE
TRIED TO BE BY LOWER IN THE
FINES.
.
BUT.
WELL I'M GONNA KEEP. MOVING ON
THE ASSEMBLY OF THIS GOVERNOR
THE NEXT SO I THINK OFTEN IT
TAKES A DAY BUT SOMETIMES YOU
GOTTA COME BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN
AND ENLIGHTEN.
THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND THE
RIGHT WAY TO DO THINGS WE'VE
SEEN THAT BEFORE. SENATOR
JACKSON THINKING YES UM. I AGREE
NO ONE'S WE ARE CONCEALING
FORCED INTO.
YOU KNOW CHARGING PEOPLE FOR
TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS FOR FIND
THEY'VE GOT A LOT TO D BUT I. I
SUPPORT THIS IF YOU'VE EVER DONE
A BEACH CLEAN UP. WHAT IS YOU
GET THERE WATCHES CIGARETTE*
UP THE YING YANG AND THEN SOME
NEEDLES AND? OTHER THINGS TO OUR
BEACHES SHOULD BE FOR PEOPLE.
OF THE TWO ARE TO BE ABLE TO
ENJOY TO BRING THEIR KIDS YOU
DON'T WANT THEM. IN DURING THE
SECOND HAND SMOKE I THINK YOU I
THINK IT'S MAKING THE RIGHT
STATEMENT AND I APPRECIATE THAT
THERE.
THERE'S SOME CONCERN ó YOU
KNOW.
ARE WE ARE WE GOING TO END UP
HAVING A.
AS A SORT OF A NANNY STATE HERE
BUT I THINK PEOPLE ARE CAN FIND
OTHER PLACES IF THEY INSIST ON
SMOKING AND.
NOT ENGAGING OUR OUR KIDS.
OR THOSE OF US WHO DON'T
APPRECIATE THAT OR HAVE ANY.
INTEREST IN TOBACCO PARTICULAR
BECAUSE IT'S IT'S DANGEROUS TO
THE SECOND HAND SMOKE WE KNOW.
THROUGH SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE IS
DANGEROUS FROM THE NOTION THAT
PEOPLE WOULD SMOKE MARIJUANA ON
THE BEACH AND. THE WAFTING ODOR
OF THAT.
IT'S PRETTY STRONG.
AND I DON'T THINK ANYTHING THAT
WE SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
OUR KID'S.
INHALING EITHER SO I'M I THINK
TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS.
AND YOU KNOW IS SIDE IS NOT
GONNA BE A DETERRENT BUT I AGREE
THAT IF PEOPLE REALIZE THAT
WE'RE PROHIBITING IT YOU'LL GET.
AT LEAST A GOOD PORTION PEOPLE
BEING COOPERATIVE AND RESPONSIVE
WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE.
SO WITH THAT I'D I'D MOVE THE
BILL.
CENTER WIENER QUORUM FIRST BILL
DOZENS OF YOUR WHOLE CEREMONY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I WAS
ALSO PREPARED TO MAKE A MOTION
IN SUPPORT.
BUT SINCE HAS HARDLY BEEN DONE
AND WE NOW HAVE A QUORUM I WON'T
DO THAT. WE HAVE A QUORUM THE
BECAUSE THE MEDIA ESTABLISH A
CLEAR
DIFFICULT LISTENERS HERTZBERG
HERE STONE.
ALLEN.
HUESO JACKSON. MCGUIRE MONEY.
HERE STERN BY THAT. EXPLORE
MOTION AND WE HAVE A MOTION BY
SENATE JACKSON OKAY.
BUT SIR.
TOM DID YOU CONSIDER SENATOR.
.
DESIGNATED CAMPFIRE IF FOR
PEOPLE THAT ENJOY ONE CIGAR
CAREER ON THEIR CAMPING TRIP.
I THINK WE GIVE DISCRETION TO
THE SUPERINTENDENT TO MAKE THOSE
CHOICES.
OR WE COULD PAY THE FINE UP
FRONT AGAINST.
I KNOW CIGARS ARE PRETTY
EXPENSIVE SO THIS FINE MAYBE
MODESTA EQUIVALENT.
ATTACK YOU THINK YOU FOR YOUR
WORK THIS THANK YOU ONE OTHER
QUESTION ON. THAT I HAVE IN THAT
IS YOU KNOW ONE OF THE
CHALLENGES WE HAD PUBLIC SAFETY
WAS WE WOULD PUT FINES FOR
EXAMPLE RUNNING A STOP LIGHT IS
A IS THIRTY FIVE DOLLARS BUT
WITH THE ENHANCEMENTS.
AND THE CIVIL FINES OF STUFF IT
WAS LIKE FIVE EIGHTY OR
SOMETHING.
DEAR KNOWLEDGE I DON'T KNOW THIS
IS THE OTHER ENHANCEMENTS UNDER
THIS NUMBER SO IT'S NOT ACTUALLY
TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS BUT IT COULD
BE. SAY THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND.
IT THERE ARE ENHANCEMENTS
ACCORDING TO THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE CODE SET IT IT SPEAKS TO
SENATOR SOUNDS POINT.
HER.
POSTED A TWENTY FIVE DOLLAR FINE
MEMBERS ABOUT TWO HUNDRED
DOLLARS WITH THE ENHANCEMENTS.
I JUST ADVISED BY.
ARE VERY FAMOUS PHD HERE.
SO IT'S TO OUR DOLLARS IS THE
COST.
GIVEN GIVEN THE CURRENT
STANDARDS THAT WE APPLY THAT
ENHANCE CONSIDER CURRENT APPLIED
AT ALL KINDS OF OTHER.
ATTRACTIONS I DON'T I JUST DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES
TO THE YEAH LOOK. PERSON WHO
GETS FIND AND I THINK THAT WAS
THE POINT THAT THE GOVERNOR WAS
MAKING HIS MESSAGE WHICH IS WHY
REDUCED IT FROM A HUNDRED
DOLLARS TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS.
ANY FURTHER IN THE OTHER CLOSE
THINK IT'S VERY MUCH A MOTION
ASKING WITH KNOWLEDGE THAT
SENATOR BLOCK MARTY BLOCK IS
CARRIED THIS BILL PREVIOUSLY I
ONE ACKNOWLEDGES LEADERSHIP ALL
GOOD.

I I THINK THAT IT'S IT'S YOU
REALLY BELIEVE THAT THERE'S A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF.
BOB ATMOSPHERE CHO HUESO COMES
OUT OF VAPING THAT WOULD BE A
SIGNIFICANT.
HARM TO THE ENVIRONMENT OR
PEOPLE ON THE BEACH.

ASSOCIATED WITH VAPING OR
THEY'RE NOT ARE AND THOSE ARE
A-DISPOSABLE ARE THEY NOT. BUYS
I
KNOW THEY ARE. YOU KNOW WHETHER
PEOPLE THAT AFTER THEY VAPE ON
THE BEACH TAKE THEIR CARTRIDGES
HOME OR LEAVE THEM ON THE BEACH.
I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH OUT A
STATISTICS THAT HAVE BEEN THAT.
FOR.
COMPILED ABOUT THAT THAT TYPE OF
LITTER ON THE BEACH CENTER I'M
SORRY AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE
SECOND HAND CHOICE OF PEOPLE
VAPING IN THEIR CARS.
BALLOON OF SMOKE. A IT HAS A
DISTINCT ODOR THEREFORE IT MUST
HAVE IN IT VARIOUS TYPES OF
PRODUCTS THAT I DON'T
PARTICULARLY WANT TO HAVE TO
INHALE. A AT THE BEACH IT WAS A
ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY LOCATIONS
WHICH ARE. A ISOLATED SO THE
PEOPLE WHO WANT TO VAPE ON THE
BEACH CAN DO SO.
MY AWARE OF LOCATIONS I THINK
AGAIN THIS WOULD ALLOW SUDDEN
DISCRETION TO. THE FOLKS IN
CHARGE AS TO WHETHER THEY WANT
TO CREATE DESIGNATED.
SMOKING AREAS OR NOT.
.
BUT CERTAINLY.
THEIR ALLOTTED.
DESERTED AREAS ON BEACHES THAT
THAT PROBABLY WOULD BE AFFECTING
OTHER PEOPLE.
AND THIS ALSO AGAIN MY APOLOGIES
THE FIRST THAT WAS STATE PARKS
ONLY ABOUT THIS DOES ALSO DO WAS
STATE PEACHES. DOES IT ALSO.
EXCLUDE SMOKING MARIJUANA ON
THE BEACH IT'S MINE IT'S MY
UNDERSTANDING YES IT IS
MARIJUANA CONSIDERED A TOBACCO
PRODUCT.
I BELIEVE SO BUT I'D BE HAPPY TO
CHECK WITH SOMEBODY THAT WHICH
YOU COULDN'T MAKE A CLARIFY THAT

I DON'T BELIEVE IT IS AN
ISRAEL'S ASKING LAST QUESTION.

WRECKED CREATE WITH OUR CHILDREN
OUR FAMILIES AND.
OF THE IMPOSITION OF PEOPLE'S
CHOICE TO SMOKE SHOULD NOT IN MY
OPINION BE.
AVAILABLE TO THEM OF WHEN
THEY'RE AT THE BEECHER.
IN THE PARK.
SO I I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE
DOING I HOPE THAT THE PUBLIC
WILL RESPECT.
THE FACT THAT WE DON'T WANNA

OUR FAMILY SOARER SELVES TO OF

FILE AND REFINED SP TEN FIFTEEN.
SENATOR ALLEN.
BUT YOU'RE SECURE MEMBERS.
THIS BILL ESTABLISHES THE
CALIFORNIA CLIMATE RESILIENCY
PROGRAM AND FIND WITHIN THE
WILDLIFE CONSERVATION BOARD.
TO FIND PROVEN PRODUCT PROJECTS
AND REGIONAL LEVELS OF THESE.
PROJECTS WILL BE SPECIFICALLY
DESIGNED TO PROMOTE CLIMATE
RESILIENCY AND INCREASE THE
STATE'S ABILITY TO MITIGATE AND
ADAPT.
TO THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
ALSO PRODUCING OUR GREENHOUSE
GAS
EMISSIONS.
IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET WE
APPROPRIATE TWENTY MILLION
DOLLARS IN THE GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTION FUNDS TO THE WILDLIFE
CONSERVATION BOARD SPECIFICALLY
FOR THIS TASK.
AND WE ALSO GAVE OUR STATES
COASTAL AGENCIES THE COASTAL
COMMISSION THE COST CONSERVANCY.
IT'S HARRIS KOBE CONSERVATION OF
ON THE COMMISSION.
SIX MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE
FINE FROM THE GIRAFFE TO DO
PLANNING LOCAL ASSISTANCE IN
CAPITAL PROJECTS.
WITH THE BALK GOING TO THE
CONSERVANCY'S CLIMATE READY
THAT PROGRAM HAS BEEN
SUCCESSFULLY FUNDING IN
IMPLEMENTING PROJECTS DESIGNED.
TO CAPTURE GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS AND HELP LOCAL
COMMUNITIES IN NATURAL RESOURCES
ADOPT.
TO THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE
CHANGE.
SO BUILDING ON THE SUCCESSFUL
MODELS THIS BILL S. B. TEN
FIFTEEN SEEKS TO SCALE UP.
OUR EFFORTS
CALIFORNIA SEVERAL PROGRAMS
DESIGNED TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR
SOME FORM OF ADDITIVES.
WE HAVE URBAN GREETING PROGRAMS
HEALTHY SOILS OF THE CAFFERTY
PART OF FOOD AGRICULTURE.
AND CAL FIRES HEALTHY FORESTS
EFFORTS.
HOWEVER I DID THIS BILL SP TEN
FIFTEEN TAKES A DIFFERENT
APPROACH BY ESTABLISHING.
A CALIFORNIA CLIMATE RESILIENCY
FOR PROGRAM AND FIND THIS BILL
ALLOWS GRANTING AGENCIES TO
TAILOR FUNDING.
THE PROJECTS THAT MEET THE NEEDS
OF A GIVEN COMMUNITY OR REGION.
AND ARE INLAND COMMUNITIES FOR
EXAMPLE PARTICULARLY.
THOSE MOST VULNERABLE TO RISING
TEMPERATURES FUNDING TO BE
FOCUSED ON PROJECTS THAT ADDRESS
HEAT ISLAND CONCERNS.
I PROVIDE THE TREE CANOPY PARK
ACCESS IMPROVE WATER SUPPLY
RELIABILITY.
A FORCE COMMUNITIES MAY HAVE
DIFFERENT NEEDS ALONG WITH
REDUCING FIRE RISK IN RESTORING
FOREST HEALTH THESE REGIONS WILL
NEED TO CAREFULLY MANAGE
VULNERABLE WATERSHEDS TO PROTECT
DRINKING WATER SOURCES.
INTERROGATION SUPPLIES OUR GOAL
HERE ESSENTIALLY IS TO NOT ALSO
SECURE CONTINUING ONGOING
FUNDING FOR THESE TYPES. OF
RESILIENCY PROJECTS THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET FOR
TWENTY SEVENTEEN TWENTY EIGHTEEN
ONLY PROPOSES JGR EFFORTS ON THE
FUNDING FOR CAL FIRE.
THERE'S NOTED EUROPE FUNDING FOR
NOT TO RESOURCES ADAPTATION I IN
GENERAL.
THE COMMITTEE HOUSES RIGHTLY
POINTS OUT THAT THIS BILL IS A
WORK IN PROGRESS AND I
APPRECIATE THAT THE COMMENTS
MADE BY. THE STAFF IN HELPING US
TO TO LOOK THROUGH THE BILL.
HOW IT HAD NUMEROUS?
CONVERSATIONS WITH DOZENS OF
STAKEHOLDERS TO HELP US AND
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT ARE
POSED. ON PAGE THREE OF THE NOW
SAYS THEY'RE ALL VERY GOOD
QUESTIONS AND I'M COMMITTED TO
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
COMMITTEE COMMITTEE STAFF.
SHOULD THE MEASURE PASS TODAY TO
REFINE THE THIS BILL MORE
THOROUGHLY I SHOULD ALSO POINT
OUT OF THE BILL.
IF IT IS THAT DOES PASS WILL
HAD TO INVENT EQUALITY.
COMMITTEE AND I KNOW THE STAFF
THERE HAS AYE THEIR OWN SET OF
CONCERNS AND AND IBM INPUT THAT
THEY WILL HAVE.
I AS THE HOUSES POINTS OUT ARE
CONSERVATIVES HAVE EXPERIENCE
BOTH.
I'D THEY'VE HAD EXPERIENCE BOTH
THE DRESSING ADOPTEE XIN
RESILIENCY AND IMPORTANTLY
WORKING EFFECTIVELY WITH LOCAL
COMMUNITIES TO FIND. AND
IMPLEMENT LOCAL PRIORITIES.
I BELIEVE STRONGLY THAT THESE
AGENCIES CAN TAKE A LEADERSHIP
ROLE IN FUNDING REGIONAL AND
LOCAL PROJECTS TO ADDRESS OUR
HOPE IT WILL BE ABLE TO. INCLUDE
THEM ALONG WITH THE.
THE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION BILL
WHILE AS CAUSATION BOARD IN THIS
BILL BEFORE THE E. Q. HEARING.
NEXT MONTH.
I BUT IT IS OUR. STRONG SENSE
AND WE SPENT SOME TIME LOOKING
AT THIS NOW THAT THE WB HAS A
GREAT TRACK RECORD OF
DISTRIBUTING FUNDING QUICKLY.
EFFICIENTLY AND WITH GEOGRAPHIC
EQUITY. ALSO IS THE ANNOUNCES
POINTS OUT THE WB ALSO ALREADY
INCORPORATES ADAPTATION
RESILIENCY CRITERIA INTO THEIR
FUNDING DECISIONS.
AND THE RECENTLY ISSUED DRAFT
GUIDELINES FOR THE G. GRF MONEY
THEY RECEIVED LAST YEAR.
CONSERVANCY IS LIKE THE WICB
EXCEL AT LEVERAGING FUNDING FROM
A VARIETY OF SOURCES TO MAXIMIZE
THE IMPACT OF THE DOLLARS THEY
INVEST THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY
MEAN BUT WE NEED.
AND YOU'LL SEE THAT OUR
CONSERVANCY'S.
ARE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS ARE
ARE TO LEAD WITNESSES WILL
DISCUSS SOME OF THE PROGRAMS
AND.
PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY UNDER
WAY. AND THE WORK THAT CAN BE
DONE THROUGH THE. CALIFORNIA
CLIMATE RESILIENCY PROGRAM
THAT'S ENVISIONED HERE IN S. B.
TEN FIFTEEN SO I HAVE WITH ME.

IDEA CLIMATE RESILIENCY IT'S ONE
THING TO.
TAKE THE CARBON OUT IT'S ANOTHER
THING TO PREVENT THE CARBON FROM
GOING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE BUT
WHEN YOU CAN DO IT TOO FOR.
SHE IS THE KIND OF PROJECTS THE
CONSERVANCY'S DO WITH CLIMATE
RESILIENCE WHICH IS ADDRESS THE
CARBON AND ADDRESS THE POSITIVE
SOCIAL BENEFIT TO PEOPLE. OF A
PROCESS IT IS COMMUNITY BASED
THAT DEALS WITH FORCE TO DEAL
WITH HEAT ISLAND BECAUSE OF THE
KINDS OF THINGS I DON'T THINK
THAT WE HAVE.
ADDRESSED.
SENATOR ALLEN THE BILL ADDRESSES
IT WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING WITH
HIM AS THE ULTIMATE PROCESS. AND
I THINK.
AGAIN MY APPRECIATION. TO YOU
SENATOR FOR TAKING THE LEAD ON
THIS.
THANK YOU.
BUT MISTER MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS THAT JAY ZIEGLER I'M
HERE ON BEHALF OF THE HUNDRED
THOUSAND PLUS MEMBERS OF THE
NATURE CONSERVANCY.
ALSO TO ENDORSE
AND SENATE BILL TEN FIFTEEN AND
WE GREATLY APPRECIATE.
THAT THE APPROACH OF SENATOR
ALLEN HERE.
AND REALLY THINKING AGAIN NOT
JUST ABOUT.
CLIMATE ADAPTATION TO REDUCING
THE IMPACT.
BUT BUT DEALING WITH CLIMATE
CHANGE EFFECTS AS THEY OCCUR
AROUND US RIGHT NOW I'M WE'RE
CERTAINLY SEEING THAT.
ACROSS CALIFORNIA AND A NUMBER
OF OTHER PLACES.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE STRATEGY
THAT THE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
BOARD HAS A HAS EMBARKED UPON IN
RECOGNIZING REGIONAL DIFFERENCES
IN COASTAL CALIFORNIA IN OUR
CITIES.
IN.
IN THE FLOOD PLAINS CALIFORNIA
BUT YOU'RE PRONE TO SEVERE RISK.
ARE LONG OVERDUE THERE SOME
COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD IN
FRANCE WHERE MORE THAN TWENTY
FIVE PERCENT.
OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND CLIMATE
RESPONSE FUNDING IS SPECIFICALLY
DIRECT DIRECTED AT CLIMATE
RESILIENCE STRATEGY SIZE SO THAT
THEY ARE PREPARED.
FOR EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS SO
THAT THEY ARE PREPARED FOR.
DROUGHT SO THAT THEY ARE
PREPARED FOR EXTENDED FIRE
SEASON THAT I WOULD UNDERSCORE
THE POINT THAT WE'VE ALL
EXPERIENCED.
A YEAR LONG PHENOMENON.
FIRE IS NOT A SEASON IT'S A
YEAR LONG OCCURRENCE THAT WE
HAVE TO BE PRETTY PREPARED FOR
WE HAVE TO.
HAVE MORE RESILIENT LANDSCAPE
STRATEGIES WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
BOARD AND OUR STATE CONSERVANCY
NETWORK RECOGNIZE THAT IMPORTANT
REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN AND
DEVELOPING SMART STRATEGIES.
TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE.
I WOULD ALSO UNDERSCORE.
OUR CITIES WILL BENEFIT FROM
THIS LOS ANGELES IS EMBARKED
UPON AN EFFORT AT A TO REDUCE
HEAT ISLAND EFFECT BY THREE
DEGREES ACROSS THE CITY THROUGH
URBAN GREENING STRATEGIES. AND
CREATING A MORE LEVEL BOTH.
CITY ENVIRONMENT THAT'S THE
KIND OF APPROACH AT THAT SENATE
BILL TEN FIFTEEN.
WOULD BE DIRECTLY RESPONSIVE TO.
THAT WE NEED TO TAKE A BROAD
VIEW.
AND HOW WE ADDRESS CLIMATE
CHANGE I'M.
THE NATURE CONSERVANCY IS
PLEASED TO BE. HERE ON BEHALF OF
OUR MEMBERS.
AND PARTNERS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA THAT WE
WOULD URGE EUROPE US RIGHT YOUR
SUPPORT.

THIS.

MORNING SENATOR DOUG HOUSTON
REPRESENTING SEE OUR BUSINESS
COUNCILS Y. HOLDS THE EAST BAY
REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT WERE
SUPPORTING CONCEPT RIGHT NOW.
NICHOLAS SACKETT SUCH COMPASSION
LEGISLATION IN SUPPORT.
OPPOSITION.
MEMBERS.
SAID JACKSON.
A COUPLE QUESTIONS IF I MIGHT.
THE WORD RESILIENCY DOES SEEMS
TO HAVE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
MEANINGS COULD YOU.
SORT OF DEFINE WHAT YOU MEAN BY
RESILIENCY IN THIS LEGISLATION
WHICH YOU'RE LOOKING AT TENS.
IT'S TO OME WITHIN THAT VERY
BROAD SOMETIMES AMORPHOUS
DEFINITION.
WHAT WELL LET? THESE GUYS ANSWER
THAT MORE AND MORE HAD DIRECTLY
BUT I I THINK WHAT WE'RE KEEPING
IT BROUGHT ON PURPOSE TO GIVE
FLEXIBILITY.
AND ULTIMATELY IT'S ABOUT.
LETTING LOCAL FOLKS I'VE PURSUE
DIFFERENT KINDS OF PROJECTS THAT
WILL ASSIST WITH THEIR LOCAL
NEEDS SO WE MENTIONED. IN FOREST
REGIONS IT COULD BE CAN INVOLVE
SINGABLE FINNING.
HI IN IN.
IN DESERT AREAS A CAN INVOLVES
ON.
YOU KNOW KEEP ISLAND ISSUES.
WATER RESILIENCY. THERE'S LOTS
OF THAT WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE
KEEPING IT BUT WHERE IT WORK
WOOD WORKING ON A FLEXIBILITY IN
THE BILL AND.
BUT CERTAINLY IF YOU WANT HIM.
WE HAVE WORKED WITH US ON.
WELL I KNOW I NOTED OUR
ESTEEMED.
WITNESSES HERE TALKED ABOUT
CARBON KEEPING IT OUT OR GET EGG
ADDRESSING THAT BUT.
ARE THERE OTHER ASPECTS DEAD
BECAUSE I'M LOOKING TO TRY TO
UNDERSTAND IF I HAVE A PROJECT
TO I WANT TO USE THE WORD
RESILIENCY TO COVER EVERYTHING.
OR IS THERE SOMETHING A LITTLE
MORE SPECIFIC.
THAT WOULD BE LOOKING AT IF I
WERE GOING TO MAKE APPLICATION
TO THE CONSERVANCY FOR THIS.
I WOULD HAVE TO SHOW IT THE SUMS
OF NEXUS TO. DO YOU KNOW THE
CLIMATE CHANGE CHALLENGES THAT
WE FACE.
.
THAT WOULD THAT WOULD BE
IMPORTANT BUT.
AND IF YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON
THE SOS A.
SENATOR I THINK I HAVE BEEN THE
INTENT HERE.
IS TO ALIGN THE THREAT.
FOR AT THE SO WHEN THE CENTRAL
COAST AND WITH RESPECT TO THE
THREAT OF FIRE. AND MORE EXTREME
SEASONAL CONDITIONS.
SO WE WE WOULD HAVE A FIRE
NEXUS THERE PROBABLY IN THE
SIERRA.
IN THE SACRAMENTO IN THE
SACRAMENTO VALLEY.
PROBABLY THE GREATEST.
CLIMATE THREAT WE FACE IS.
FLOODING AND WE NEAR FLOOD
EVENTS.
PROLIFERATED IN THE AREA LAST
YEAR.
SO WHAT'S OUR FLAT RESPONSE
STRATEGY HOW DO WE HOW DO WE DO
THAT HOW DO WE.
THE SAME WOULD BE SAID IN THE
AND NUMBER SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY
COMMUNITIES AND THEN FOR OUR
CITIES TO ENSURE THAT THEIR MORE
LIVABLE AND THAT WE'RE
ADDRESSING.
THE REAL CAUSES OF OF HEAT
ISLAND EFFECT IN.
TRYING TO MITIGATE EXTREME
TEMPERATURE SO I THINK THAT
WE'VE WE'VE BEEN INTENTIONALLY
VAGUE AT THIS POINT TO GIVE SOME
FLEXIBILITY. AS SENATOR ALAN
NOTED TO ALIGN THE MOST EXTREME
REGIONAL IMPACTS OF CLIMATE
CHANGE.
WHERE WE AS AN ORGANIZATION
WORKING VERY ACTIVELY WITH THE
COASTAL CONSERVANCY NOW WITH
RESPECT TO THE THREAT?
TIDAL SURGE EVENTS AND SEA
LEVEL RISE AROUND SAN FRANCISCO
BAY AND WHAT THAT MEANS.
BOTH FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL
AS A SPECIALLY PUBLIC SAFETY AND
I THINK THE BEST ANSWER TO YOUR
QUESTION MAY BECOME.
WHAT'S THE GREATEST THREAT TO
PUBLIC SAFETY THAT WE NEED TO
PLAN FOR.
AND AND AND I THINK WE. WOULD
ALL WELCOME AND GET ON
OPPORTUNITY PUT THAT ELEMENT NO
LEGISLATION BUT WE'VE IT'S IT'S
A LITTLE HARD TO DO.
I I APPRECIATE THAT THE TANKAN
I'D PUT IT GET A HANDLE ON IT SO
SO TOO QUICK A QUICK QUESTION
ONE QUICKLY WHEN NOTS QUICK WITH
THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL
CONSERVANCY BE ELIGIBLE FOR
FUNDING THROUGH THIS ABSOLUTELY.
THE OTHER QUESTION NOT QUITE SO
SIMPLE SO YOU MENTION FIRES JUST
HAD A MASSIVE FIRE. IN THE SANTA
BARBARA VENTURA COUNTIES TWO
HUNDRED EIGHTY PLUS THOUSAND
ACRES A LOT OF WILDLIFE WAS
IMPACTED.
WHY WOULD THERE BE FUNDING
AVAILABLE EITHER TO ADDRESS?
I'M ASSUMING THIS IS PART OF THE
DISCUSSION FOR PUTTING THE
WILDLIFE CONSERVATION BOARD.
.
GIVING IT ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY
AND SO FORTH WOULD SOME OF THE
FOCUS BE ON FOR EXAMPLE THINGS
LIKE.
HOW DO A REBUILD THE THE KIND OF
FOR?
YOU KNOW HABITAT THAT THE CITY
HAS BEEN DESTROYED BY FIRES NOT
JUST IN IN THE THOMAS FIRE BUT
THROUGHOUT THE STATE WOULD THAT
BE SOMETHING. THAT THIS BILL
WOULD ADDRESS.
OF SPECIFICALLY WE WE HAVE
REALLY APPRECIATED SO ON SENATOR
ALLEN'S APPROACH HERE BECAUSE
IT'S I THINK.
THE CORE OF THE ANSWERED.
THAT WE WOULD PLAY AS GAS WE
NEED TO PLAN FOR CORRIDORS THAT.
PROTECT.
BOTH BUFFERS AROUND COMMUNITIES
AS WELL AS SPACE FOR WILDLIFE
AND.
AND AND.
AND THE IDEA HEREAND SENATOR
ALLEN'S APPROACH IS WE NEED TO
PROVIDE INCENTIVE BASED FUNDING
NOT WE CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT
THROUGH.
THE KIND A COMMANDING CONTROL
STRATEGY IF YOU WILL THAT
DYNAMICS ARE GOING TO BE
DIFFERENT IN EACH COUNTY WE
RESPECT THOSE LAND USE PLANNING
AUTHORITIES. AND REALLY NEED TO
WORK WITH THEM IN AN INTEGRATED
WAY.
I GET I GET SO THE QUESTIONS
YOU'RE PUTTING THIS.
THAT THE CLIMATE RESILIENCY
PROGRAM WITHIN THE WILDLIFE
CONSERVATION BOARD AND SO I'M.
WONDERING IS THE FOCUS CAN BE ON
WILDLIFE FOR IT BEGIN WAS A
REASON THAT YOU'RE PUTTING IT IN
THIS PARTICULAR AGENCY.
I THINK IT HAS TO DO WITH.
WOULD JUST A TRACK RECORD THAT
THE THE WC BE HAS AND THAT THIS
IS GOING TO BE A DISCUSSION
WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE WITH THE EQ
COMMITTEE AND.
I'M AND WE'RE GONNA BRING THE
CONSERVANCY'S AND AS WELL SO.
I'M.
WE'VE BEEN VERY IMPRESSED WITH
THE WORK THAT WB IS DONE UP TO
THIS DAY BUT THIS IS NOT TO SAY
THAT IT'S GOING TO BE
SPECIFICALLY ABOUT ABOUT
WILDLIFE.
I THINK THAT MIGHT BE PART OF
THE DISCUSSION GOING FORWARD
BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT WE DON'T
WANNA MARGINALIZED THE
IMPORTANCE AND AT THE SAME TIME
IF IT'S WITHIN THE WILDLIFE
CONSERVATION BOARD THE.
IMPLICATION IS THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT WILDLIFE AYE
COMBINED SENATOR JACKSON. ON.
WE HAVE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH
WHAT CONSERVATION BOARD. THEY
HAVE DONE A NUMBER OF URBAN
PROJECTS ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO
URBAN NEEDS WE DO ESTO
CONSUMMATED AND DEAL WITH THE
PALER YARD.
LOS ANGELES RIVER.
.
THE SERRANO THERE'S NO
WILDLIFE'S THEIR.
MAY BE AFTER DARK PERHAPS SHOW
OF THE HUMAN KIND BUT.
YOU KNOW THE STUFF THAT THE WC
BECAUSE BOTH TO WORK WITH.
SO I THINK REALLY IT'S A
MISNOMER TO CATEGORIZE THEM AS
SIMPLY WORKING ONE WHY WHAT THE
WHOLE SPECTRUM OF NATURAL
RESOURCES IS WITHIN THEIR
PURVIEW. AND I THINK THAT I I
ACTUALLY WAS ON THE BOARD WHEN I
WAS IN THE ASSEMBLY SO. I
RECOGNIZE GREAT WORK THEY DO I
JUST THINK THIS MIGHT BE
SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE. OF
FURTHER CLARIFIED BUT DIE I
CERTAINLY KNOW THAT THEY DO
WONDERFUL WORK SO. THANK YOU
VERY STERN.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
SORRY MR OPENING PRESENTATION
CENTER ALLEN.
BUT THANKS TO BRING THIS
FORWARD AND I'D LOVE TO.
THE DISSENTERS CHO I'VE CO
AUTHOR ACTUALLY IF IF POSSIBLE.
I KNOW THAT.
THIS AREA OF GOV GREENHOUSE GAS
MITIGATION IS IS STILL EVOLVING
AND IT IS YOU KNOW I APPRECIATE
YOUR OPENNESS HERE BECAUSE.
THE THE MODELING EFFORTS THE
LAND USE PATTERNS THINGS ARE
EVOLVING HERE AND WE'RE WE'RE
STILL TRYING TO GET OUR HEADS I
THINK WRAPPED AROUND EXACTLY HOW
TO. PUSH THIS BUT IT. ON NET
THAT THE SCIENCE IS VERY CLEAR
ABOUT THE NEXUS HERE AND I THINK
YOU CAN MEET THAT NEXUS AND
STILL INVEST IN. RESILIENCY AND.
NO FIRE.
OECOMYS THEN HIT BY FIRES
COMMITTEES THAT HAVE SORT OF
COMBINING THE.
HAVING SORT OF.
MULTI BENEFIT FRAMEWORK HERE I
THINK IS YOU CAN STILL HIT THAT
GREENHOUSE GAS MITIGATION TARGET
SO I I DON'T SEE THAT AS AN
IMPEDIMENT FRANKLY BUT I I ALSO
WOULD YOU SAY THAT.
IN THE SENATE MONICA MOUNDS
AREA WHERE THE MRCA OPERATES
MEAN DO YOU GUYS SEE.
SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL FOR SORT
OF GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION WRIT
LARGE IN LOS ANGELES AND WHAT IS
THAT FUTURE REALLY LOOK LIKE. IN
IN IN A SORT OF THAT SEMI URBAN
CONTEXT AT THE FULL URBAN
CONTEXT BUT THAT. THAT BETTER
THAT INTERFACE THAT THAT WE HAVE
IN THESE KIND OF REGION'S AND
OUT AROUND THE STATE I MEAN
THERE'S THERE'S SIMILAR SORT OF
COMMUNITIES NESTED AUTHOR OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
SO SENATOR IN YOUR OWN DISTRICT.
FOR EXAMPLE ON ON THE LOS
ANGELES RIVER THE GREENING
PROJECTS ALONG THE RIVER
EVERYONE OF THOSE WILL HAVE A
COMMUNITY BENEFIT EVERYONE OF
THOSE WILL HAVE BENEFIT IN TERMS
OF THE CLIMATE RESILIENCY WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT.
SO IT CAN BE EVERYTHING FROM.
SIMPLY.
.
TAKING OUT THE ASPHALT AND
INTRODUCING.
NATIVE SPECIES.
IT CAN ALSO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE
PROGRAMS I I THINK THE ADVANTAGE
HERE OF HAVING RESILIENCY. AND A
TO ANSWER OF SENATOR JACKSON'S
QUESTION.
I LOOK AT THE TERM RESILIENCY AS
MORE LIKE.
THE BOXING SIGH OF MOHAMMED ALI
AND.
WHATEVER NEEDED TO BE DONE. HE
DID IT KIND AND SO.
WHEN WE'RE WORKING WITH
COMMUNITY GROUPS
AND I THINK ONE OF THE ISSUES IS
GOING TO BE. AND I THINK IT'S IN
THE BILL NOW IS TO REQUIRE THE
WC BE TO HAVE A SPECIFIC SET OF
CRITERIA THAT WOULD BE ADDRESSED
TO COMMUTING GROUPS CAN REALLY
KNOW WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT
ARE GOING TO BE.
ASK OF THEM AND I THINK PERHAPS
TO BE A RATING SYSTEM I THINK
THE WC BECAUSE VERY GOOD AT
THEIR THEIR TECHNICALLY VERY
GOOD. AT PUTTING TOGETHER GRANT
PROGRAMS AND THEN ASSURING THE
LEGISLATURE AND THE PUBLIC THAT
WE'RE GETTING OUR MONEY'S WORTH.
ANY FURTHER.
BILLS THIS EMOTION TRIP TO PASS
BUDGET COMMITTEE AND
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY THING FOR
THE J..
COULD SEE MEN. COME.
A BILLS ELICITING FURTHER JUST
JUST I THINK VOTE COMMITTEE FOR
THE ROBUST DISCUSSION I REALLY
DO WELCOME THE INPUT OF EVERYONE
ONE OF THE MEMBERS AND I'M HERE
STAFF YOU HAVE IDEAS. OF WAYS
YOU LIKE TO SEE THIS FURTHER BE
SHAPED DOT WHERE WE'RE VERY OPEN
TO TO. TALKING TO YOU IN HEARING
FROM YOU IN WORKING WITH YOU.
SO WITH THAT I WAS HAVE FAST AYE
VOTE A SECOND AGO.
SENATORS FOR I RESPECT AYE STONE
STONE NO ALLEN AYE AYE ALLEN AYE
HUESO JACKSON. JACKSON AYE
MCGUIRE MONEY. MONNING AYE STERN
STERN AYE BUTTOCK.
I HOPE IT'S ENOUGH BUT LORD WE
WILL HOLD THE ROLE OPEN FOR OUR
NEWEST MEMBER SENATE MCGUIRE WAS
IN MADE IT YET.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK
ZIEGLER.
EDMONDSON.
IT'S GREAT SENIOR MEMBER.
SACRAMENTO.
THE SECOND TIME
I LIKE THIS YOU'D GO YOU'D
WHATEVER.
OKAY THIS IS FILE ITEM NUMBER
OF.
FOR S. B. NINE ONE NINE.
IT'S PUT THE FEES BETWEEN THAT
YOUR BILL LAST BUT.
OKAY CENTER DOT.
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS I PRESENT A S.
B. NINE ONE NINE PERTAINING TO
STREAM GAGES
S. B. NINE ONE NINE WOULD
REQUIRE THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES.
DEVELOP A PLAN TO DEPLOY A
NETWORK OF STREAM GAUGES
INCLUDING THE DETERMINATION OF
FUNDING NEEDS AND OPPORTUNITIES
FOR REACTIVATING EXISTING
GAUGES.
LET ME BEGIN BY ACCEPTING THE
AMENDMENTS AS SUGGESTED IN THE
ANALYSIS AS AUTHORS AMENDMENTS.
APPRECIATE THE HELP. I IN TWO
THOUSAND SXTEEN.
WE WERE IN THE FIFTH YEAR OF
DROUGHT MANAGING OUR WATER
SUPPLY WAS GROWING MORE CRITICAL
AND DIFFICULT DUE TO THE GAPS
AND STATE AND REGIONAL WATER
DATA.
UNDER THE THEORY YOU CAN'T
MANAGE WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW I
AUTHORED AB SEVENTEEN FIFTY FIVE
THE OPEN AND TRANSPARENT WATER
DAY THAT.
PURSUANT TO THE ACT D. W. ARE
THE WATER BOARD AND MANY OTHERS
ARE MAKING TREMENDOUS PROGRESS
ON BUILDING A FEDERATED.
THAT DATA PLATFORM THAT BRINGS
TOGETHER A BROAD RANGE OF WATER
RELATED DATA SETS
THAT ALLOW WATER MANAGERS.
ACADEMIA ENDS AND ADMINISTRATORS
THAT THEY CAN USE TO MAKE
SCIENCE BASE WATER POLICY
DECISIONS.
NOW THAT THE DATA PLATFORM IS
UNDER CONSTRUCTION WE HAVE TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE CN POPULATE
IT WOULD QUALITY
CONTEMPORANEOUSLY WATER DATA.
IT IS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT
CALIFORNIA HAS LOST THE ABILITY
TO MEASURE STREAM FLOW. WHICH IS
A VERY IMPORTANT TYPE OF DATA.
EIGHTY SIX PERCENT OF THE
STATE'S SIGNIFICANT STREAMS ARE
POORLY GAUGED.
STREAM FLOW DATA SUPPORTS DAY
TODAY WATER MANAGEMENT DECISIONS
UNDERLYING THE OPERATION OF
STATE REGIONAL WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE.
STREAM FLOW DATING AND UP
PROVIDES TECHNICAL INSIGHTS IN
THE BASIN HYDROLOGY
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH A AND
STREAM FLOW DATA IS ALSO
CRITICAL. TO PLANNING FOR IN
MANAGING FLOOD PROTECTION AMONG
OTHER USES.
CALIFORNIA USED A MORE THAN
THIRTY SIX HUNDRED STREAM GAGES
MOSTLY MANAGED BY THE U. S.
GEOLOGICAL SERVICE.
UNFORTUNATELY IN THE LAST DECADE
NEARLY HALF OF THOSE GAUGES HAVE
BECOME INACTIVE AND EVEN FEWER
GAUGES PROVIDE RICH REAL TIME
REPORTING. WITH FLUCTUATING
WEATHER CYCLES A RELIABLE SUPPLY
OF WATER IS DIMINISHED IN
MANAGING OUR WATER RESOURCES
GROWS MORE IMPORTANT.
RESTORING STREAM GAUGES THE
ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF STATEWIDE
AND REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMENT
STRATEGY.
S. B. NINE NINETEEN IS A FIRST
STEP TO THAT RESTORATION.
A BY CALLING FOR A PLAN FOR
PRIORITIZATION OF GAUGE
LOCATIONS AND FOR
RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW GAUGED
APPOINTMENT CAN BE FUNDED.
THERE IS NO OPPOSITION TO IT
SENATE BILL NINE ONE NINE AND SO
FAR THIS YEAR THERE ARE NO NO
VOTES BELIEVE THAT OR NOT. AND I
ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE.
FOR THOSE LITTLE HERE MISTER
CHAIRMAN I JUST WANTED.
AT THAT.
VERY LITTLE.
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS JAY
ZIEGLER WITH THE NATURE
CONSERVANCY.
WE ARE HERE IN STRONG SUPPORT
OF ASSEMBLY OR PER BRAD SENATE
BILL NINE NINETEEN WHICH REALLY
BUILDS AS AS SENATOR DODD NOTES
ON THE.
.
OPEN AND TRANSPARENT WATER DATA
ACT.
SEVENTEEN FIFTY FIVE.
AND WE'RE HERE.
REALLY FOR A FEW CRITICAL
REASONS AB ONE THERE'S A TWENTY
FIVE YEAR TREND OF THE U. S.
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY IS OUT
HISTORIC DISINVESTMENT. IN WATER
GAUGES IN CALIFORNIA.
SO FOR.
AT SENATOR DODD NOTED ALMOST
HALF OF THE STATE'S GAUGING
NETWORK IS NOW AN ACTIVE SO WE
ARE DOWN TO.
ABOUT.
SEVENTEEN HUNDRED OPERATIVE
GAUGES IN THE STATE.
THE WATER BOARD AS FOUND THAT
THE STATE A LACKS.
FEDERAL OR EVEN STATE STEAM
BURST STREAM GAUGES ON SEVENTY
TWO PERCENT OF CRITICAL
WATERSHEDS.
AND WITH CALIFORNIA'S DROUGHT
FLOOD AND FIRE RISK.
AND THE DEMAND FOR WATER
INCREASING AROUND US WE NEED
BETTER DATA TO RECONCILE OUR
DIFFERENCES.
MISTER CHAIRMAN WE HAVE WORKED.
ALONGSIDE MOST OF THE WATER
AGENCIES THAT YOU WILL SEE I IN
SUPPORT OF THIS LEGISLATION IN
WASHINGTON FOR THE PAST DECADE
TO ENHANCE FUNDING. FOR STRING
GAUGE DEPLOYMENT THAT EFFORT HAS
BEEN AND AND SUCCESSFUL FOR A
NUMBER REASONS.
BUT IT IS CRITICAL THAT
CALIFORNIA ASSERT A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING OF ITS WATER
SUPPLY NEEDS FOR VERB TO MEET
THE NEEDS OF AGRICULTURE FOR
COMMUNITIES AND FOR FISH AND
WILDLIFE WE. AGAIN STRONGLY
SUPPORT THE WORK OF SENATOR DON
AND.
DEVELOPING THIS LEGISLATION.
AND WE URGE YOUR AYE VOTE ON
SENATE BILL AT NINE FIFTEEN
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MARK
FENCE TO MAKE ON BEHALF OF
CINEMA COUNTY WATER AGENCY IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF SB NINE ONE
NINE. OUR AGENCY RELIES ON
TWENTY EIGHT STREAM GAGES IN OUR
NETWORK BETTER PLACED IN THE
MAIN STEM AND TRIBUTARIES OF THE
RUSSIAN RIVER WATERSHED. AND THE
DATA THAT WE COLLECT GOES TO A
VARIETY OF PURPOSES INCLUDING
INSTREAM FLOW MANAGEMENT
FLOODING AND ENVIRONMENTAL
HABITAT. WE COR NAY CLOSELY WITH
FEDERAL AGENCIES ON THE
PLACEMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF
THESE GAUGES INCLUDING WITH THE
U. S. G. S. ALSO WITH THE US
ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS WHO
RELIES ON DAY GAUGE INFORMATION.
SO THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND
BETTER WHEN TO RELEASE WATER
FROM LOCAL RESERVOIRS.
OUR ABILITY TO ENSURE BY.
FLOW RATES PROTECT ENDANGERED
FEET FISH SPECIES IS DEPENDENT
ON THE REAL TIME. DATA THE
GAUGES PROVIDE.
DURING THIS CRITICAL INFORMATION
WERE ACTIVELY SEEKING TO GROW
THIS GAUGE NETWORK ACOSTA REAL
PER PRIMITIVE FACTOR.
IT COSTS OR AGENCY THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR TEN
MAINTAIN AND OPERATE THESE
TWENTY EIGHT GAUGES IN THE
NETWORK.
AND THIS PAST YEAR WE WERE
ACTIVELY SEEKING STATE AND
FEDERAL ASSISTANCE TO PLACE MORE
GAUGES AND SENSITIVE BURN AREAS
FROM THE FIRES THAT CAME THROUGH
THE RUSSIAN RIVER WATERSHED.
THAT WE COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
PREPARED BETTER READY FOR
FLOODING EVENTS BETTER
EXACERBATED BY RAY VISION. BUT
WE CAME UP EMPTY.
SO FOR THAT REASON WE STRONGLY
SUPPORT S. B. NINE ONE NINE WE
THANK SENATOR DODD VERGE
LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE AND
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE
THE OTHERS IN SUPPORT THANKS SO
MUCH.

VERY MUCH SUPPORT INTO THIS
LEGISLATION THANK YOU. THANK

OPPOSITION ANY OPPOSITION THE
MEASURE QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS.
THERE ALLEN.
BUT IS ALSO A. CENTER STONE
FIRST.
I THINK IT WAS ADJOURNMENTS I
THANK YOU SENATOR FOR PROM
BRINGS FOR I REALLY LIKE HER
YOUR BILL. JUST A COUPLE
QUESTIONS THOUGH.
DO WE KNOW WHY THE U. S.
GEOLOGICAL LE SOCIETY.
AND STOP.
THERE MONITORING AT THE EXISTING
EIGHTEEN HUNDRED DEVICES WHAT.
HAS PRECIPITATED THEIR LACK OF
INTEREST IN WATER CALIFORNIA
NUMBER ONE.
AND NUMBER TWO MY CONCERN ALSO
IN YOUR BILL IT DOESN'T TALK
ABOUT WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR
THESE.
PAGES THAT I THINK ARE IMPORTANT
OR TALK ABOUT TWENTY FIVE GRAND
OCCASION TO INSTALL THEM IN
FIFTEEN TO TWENTY GRAND HERE TO
MAINTAIN THEM.
AND WHEN CONSIDER ABOUT ONE
TWENTY PERCENT OF OUR ENTIRE
BUDGET. CONSIDER CALIFORNIA GOES
TO KILL AUGMENTING AND
MONITORING AND.
TRY TO FIX OUR WATER SYSTEMS ARE
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE
COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT EXPENSE
TO. THIRD PARTIES SO HOW.
WHY DID THE U. S.?
GEOLOGICAL.
GROUP STOP MONITORING AND WOULD
YOU BE IN FAVOR ANY KIND OF AN
AMENDMENT THAT SAYS THAT.
THIS WILL BE PAID FOR BY THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND OR OFF
FEDERAL PARTNERS IN THAT
ENDEAVOR.
YEAH. GOOD START AT SENATOR AT
THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.
IT LARGELY BUDGET CONDITIONS AT
THE U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY HAVE
RESULTED IN THESE BUDGET CUTS
THE IT.
THE DID THE SURVEYS BEEN
OPERATING UNDER EFFECTIVE BUDGET
CAP ON HIS HEAD TO MOVE.
A LEAN BUDGET AROUND TO FIT TO
RESPOND TO CRISES AROUND THE
COUNTRY AND THE AND THAT HAS
RELATED REAP RESULTED IN A
CONSTRICTION OF FUNDING
AVAILABLE FOR GAUGING ACTIVITY
EVERYWHERE IN THIS BEEN ONGOING
TREND FOR NOT JUST TOOK. A
COUPLE YEARS BUT FOR QUITE SOME
TWENTY FIVE YEAR CSI YEAH. YEAH
AND SO WE HAVE WORKED HARD WITH
OTHER PARTNERS SITE AND I MUST
TO THE WATER AGENCIES THAT.
EVEN THOUGHT THE PODIUM TODAY.
HAVE BEEN ACTIVE PARTNERS IN
WASHINGTON DC TO TRY TO DIRECT
MORE RESOURCES HERE.
ALSO THERE THERE'S THE BUDGET
CAP ISSUE FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF
THE INTERIOR.
THAT'S BEEN A REAL CONCERN SO
IT IT'S GOT A. THAT SURVEYS
BUDGET HAS TO FIT INTO THE
DEPARTMENT'S BUDGET AS WELL.
OKAY GREAT.
GET IT AS FOR AS FOR THOUGH THE
LAST QUESTION I'D BE HAPPY TO
ENTERTAIN.
YOU KNOW AND AMENDMENTS IF THAT
MAKES SENSE I THINK. YOU KNOW IT
MAY END UP BEING BECAUSE WE
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH.
YEAH BUDGETS CAN BE AN ISSUE IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AS WELL.
AND SO WHAT WHAT WE WANTED TO DO
IS TO BE OPEN TO PERHAPS THAT
SOME SHARING OF SOME OF THESE
COST BUT THE IT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
AND ALSO.
GRANTS IN THOSE TYPE OF THINGS
THAT'S REALLY THE FOCUS ON WHERE
THE MONEY WILL COME FROM.
OKAY I APPRECIATE THAT A FAMILY
OFF THE BILL TODAY TOYS LEARN
MORE ABOUT THE FUNDING BUT IF
THERE'S A WAY WE CAN SHOW THAT.
THIS IS GOING TO BE ON
GOVERNMENT EXPENSE WHETHER IT'S
FEDERAL STATE AND OR GRANT.
BECAUSE I REALLY DO WANT TO
COME ON BOARD AT ONE OF YOUR
FIRST NO VOTE PATH. YOU SENATOR.
I ACTUALLY DID IN TERMS IN
DALLAS LOOK AT PAGE THREE TALK
JUST LIKE AN OPPORTUNIST LOGINS
LOCAL A JUST IN A COST SHARING
ARRANGEMENTS. TO INSTALL AND
MAINTAIN THE COSTS ARE SOME
ELEMENT IN THE CONSIDERATION.
.
SIR. NO SOI'VE BEEN NINE STRUCK
BY READING YOUR BILL AT THE OF
ONE OF THE FUN THINGS ABOUT
SERVING THE LEGISLATURE'S YOU
JUST GET TO LEARN. NEW THINGS
ALL THE TIME.
AND.
I I WAS READING I THOUGHT WAS
OF WHY THE HELL OF A SPELLING
GAUGE
WITHOUT A YOU.
YEAH.
AND IT AND EIGHT DONE.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT REALLY IT
DOES MAKE ME ANGRY.
ESPECIALLY FIND OUT THE REASON
WHY.
I'M THE SON OF AN ENGLISH
PROFESSOR INSIGHT I'M HAD
TRAINED TO.
FOCUSING ON THESE KINDS OF
THINGS.
AND I I AM. YEAH WELL SO IT
TURNS OUT THAT.
THERE YOU GO OKAY SO THERE YOU
GO SO IT TURNS OUT TO THIS
GENTLEMAN FREDERICK NEWELL.
I WAS THE FIRST DIRECTOR THE
* RECLAMATION SERVICE.
WHO REALLY HAD NO TRAINING IN
AND? ENGLISH LANGUAGE RELATED
ISSUES. AYE HE HE SAID YOU KNOW
ENGINEERING AND A VERY SMART MAN
AYE BY ALL ACCOUNTS BUT. HE
KINDA DECIDED ON HIS OWN THAT WE
OUGHT TO.
DROPPED TO YOU BECAUSE HE
THOUGHT THAT.
HE JUST THOUGHT THAT YOU KNOW
THAT FOR THE NORMAN INFLUENCE
ADDED
TO YOU.
NOW BECAUSE WE WENT AROUND TEST
VIA ADOPTING THE SAXON
SPELLINGS.
FOR ALL.
FOR ALL WORDS I THINK WE HAVE A
HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING OUR OWN
LANGUAGE.
BUT YOU THIS IS WHAT THE USGS
DECIDED TO DO EVER SINCE THEY
JUST KIND OF WENT WITH HIS.
AMATEUR.
LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS AND DONE AND
TO THIS DAY WE'RE NOW STOCK.
WITH THAT PERMIT MISSPELLING IN
THE IN THE CODE AND IN PRACTICE.
AND I JUST THINK THAT IT WOULD
BE IMPORTANT FOR ESTIMATES I'M
GONNA SUPPORT YOUR BILL TODAY
BECAUSE WE'RE FRIENDS. SO WOULD
YOU WOULD YOU LIKE A.
THROUGH THE CHAIR.
WOULD YOU LIKE A AN AMENDMENT TO
TO AYE TEACHES A SPELLING CALVET
WE'VE ALREADY ALL WHEN I GET SAY
THAT A MAN THE CHAIRS OVER
RULING THAT I WOULD LOVE THAT I
I ACTUALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THAT
SENATOR. I THINK IT WOULD GET US
INTO SO IT WOULD IT WOULD GET
YOUR BILL INTO TROUBLE WITH THE
U. S. G. S. WE ARE HAVE ENOUGH
FUNDS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
RIGHT NOW.
BUT.
BUT I I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT
FOR ME TO MENTION THIS VOWED
TODAY BECAUSE.
BECAUSE.
BUT I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE BILL I
HAVE ANOTHER.
THAT'S NOT.
THIS IS DUE PASS IS A METHOD TO
APPROPRIATIONS AND THE FURTHER.
