AND I. AGREE WITH THEM. WITH
THAT.
SAID.
YEAH.
SENATOR DODD YOU ARE HERE THIS
IS ITEM NUMBER THREE.
SENATE BILL NINE NINE EIGHT.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS.
S. B. NINE NINE EIGHT IS A
MEASURE THAT WILL HELP ENSURE
THE CALIFORNIA'S POLICY ON THE
HUMAN RIGHT.
A SAFE AFFORDABLE DRINKING WATER
IS ACHIEVED.
THE COSTS OF DRINKING WATER IS
GOING UP STATEWIDE THE COSTS
INCREASED OVER SIXTY SIX
PERCENT.
BETWEEN TWO THOUSAND SEVEN AND
TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN.
MOST WATER AGENCIES WORK VERY
HARD TO KEEP THEIR SYSTEM COSTS
UNDER CONTROL.
BUT FACTORS LIKE AGING
INFRASTRUCTURE MORE STRINGENT
WATER QUALITY STANDARDS AND THE
EFFECT OF COBB.
CONSERVATION ON REVENUE PUSH
COSTS EVEN HIGHER.
ELEVEN OF CALIFORNIA'S LARGEST
UTILITIES FOUND THAT OF THE
TWENTY SEVEN MILLION PEOPLE IN
THEIR SERVICE AREAS MORE THAN
FIVE POINT FIVE MILLION ARE
IMPACTED BY AFFORDABILITY. AND
COST OF LIVING ISSUES.
LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS ARE THE
HARDEST HIT RISING WATER RATES
OF RESULT IN THE HIGHER
DELINQUENCY RATES ON WATER
BILLS.
WHICH IN TURN LEADS TO MORE
WATER SERVICE SHOTS.
THE LOSS OF WATER SERVICE CAN
HAVE DIRE HEALTH AND SAFETY
CONSEQUENCES ON VULNERABLE
INDIVIDUALS ESPECIALLY. THE
ELDERLY THE SICK AND DISABLED
AND INFANTS.
PROTECTING.
CALDERON ECONOMICALLY DISTRESSED
RATEPAYERS AS WELL AS TENANTS OF
REPAIRS FROM WATERSHED OFFICES
IMPORTANT POLICY CONSIDERATION.
WELL THERE CONSISTENT LIFELINE
PROGRAMS FOR PEOPLE HAVING
DIFFICULTY PAYING THEIR ELECTRIC
GAS AND TELEPHONE BILLS THERE'S
ONLY PATCHWORK SET OF LOCAL
POLICIES ON DEALING WITH
DRINKING WATER. WITH WATER BILL
DELINQUENCIES.
SOME WATER AGENCIES SUCH AS EAST
BAY BUT HAVE GENEROUS CUSTOMER
ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS BUT MANY
WATER AGENCIES DO NOT.
ESTABLISHING A STATEWIDE
STRUCTURE TO HELP VULNERABLE IN
OR AND OR LOW INCOME WHAT.
RATEPAYERS COPE WITH INCREASING
WATER RATES WILL REDUCE
DIFFICULT TRADE OFFS.
THAT FAMILIES ALWAYS HAVE TO
MAKE IMPROVE HEALTH AND SAFETY.
IMBRICATE IMPROVE HEALTH SAFETY
FOR MANY HOUSEHOLD S. B. NINE
NINETY EGHT SEEKS TO PROTECT.
PROTECT THE MOST VULNERABLE IT
REQUIRES PUBLISHED WATER
AGENCIES POLICIES FOR DEFERRED
PAYMENTS ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT
PLANS AND APPEALS.
IT REQUIRES WAITING PERIODS
BEFORE TERMINATING SERVICE AND
REQUIRE REQUIREMENTS FOR
CONTACTING THE RATE PAYER.
IT LIMITS DISCONTINUATION IN
THE.
IN THE EVENT OF LIFE AND HEALTH
SAFETY PROBLEMS OR SEVERE
ECONOMIC HARDSHIP PROVIDED THE
REPAIR COMPLIES WITH CERTAIN
CONDITIONS.
THE BILL LIMITS FEES FOR
RECONNECTING SERVICE FOR LOW
INCOME WATER RATEPAYERS.
I'M NOT THAT ISSUE WE HAD AN ON
THE STAFF REPORT TALKED ABOUT.
PUTTING IN. PUBLIC A FIFTY
DOLLAR MINIMUM REVERIE
CONNECTION FEE I DON'T KNOW I
KNOW IT LIMITS IT BUT IT DOESN'T
SET THAT A NUMBER I WAS
WONDERING IF. I THINK IT'S ON
PAGE A.
PAGE SEVEN OF THE REPORT WE
THINK THAT'S YET WORKS WITH.
THINK THAT'S ACCEPTABLE MEMBERS
OF THAT MISTER CHAIRMAN I THINK
THAT'S
A GOOD SUGGESTION AND I WAS
GOING TO SAY FOR THE FOLKS THAT
A PO ARE HERE TO OPPOSE YOUR
BILL. AND THEY'RE LUCKY LIFE
THAT I'M NOT THE AUTHOR YES YOU
KNOW AND IN BANKRUPTCY.
WORK WE ALLOW PEOPLE THREE YEARS
TO PAY BACK THE ANY DEFAULT THAT
THEY HAVE AN AMNESTY THE FAULT
AGAIN ON THAT THE FALL THEY GET
TWELVE MONTHS TO CATCH UP ON
THAT. THE SECOND THE FALL SO
THIS SEEMS MUCH MORE RIGOROUS IN
MY MIND BUT PLEASE CONTINUE I.
WELL WHO WANT TO TAINT IT.
EVEN WITH.
NOT.
BOB. I BELIEVE THE AMENDED
VERSION OF THE BILL ALSO DEALS
WITH THE PROP TWO EIGHTEEN ISSUE
THAT WAS A CONCERN IN OUR LAST
COMMITTEE. AS A BALANCE BILL NOW
ALLOWS THE WATER AGENCY TO
EVENTUALLY COLLECT ON THE
RATEPAYERS THAT.
I THINK THAT WAS IMPORTANT
CONSIDER CONSIDERATION.
YOU NO WHILE WE HAVE A COUPLE.
IT WATER AGENCY ISSUES THAT
REMAIN THOSE ISSUES HAVE
SIGNIFICANTLY NARROWED. IT I
WILL.
CONTINUE TO OUR WORK WITH THE
OPPONENTS FOR EXAMPLE WE HAVE
MOVE SEE SACK IN THE WORLD
COUNTIES FROM OPPOSED TO SUPPORT
ON THIS BILL SINCE LAST.
BUT I HEARING.
BUT YOU KNOW AS YOU KNOW MISTER
CHAIRMAN TODAY'S HEARINGS THE
SECOND LEG OF THE TRIPLE
REFERRAL. IN I'M UNDER A TIGHT
DEADLINE TO PRESENT THE BILL IN
ITS THIRD POLICY HEARING NEXT
WEEK I'M AWARE OF THE TWO
SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS.
IT IN THE ANALYSIS AND WILL
ACCEPT THEM AS AUTHORS
AMENDMENTS SEE I WAS GOING TO
GET THERE.
AND I BELIEVE THAT THE AYE GIVEN
THE POLICY DEADLINE THOSE
AMENDMENTS WILL BE PROCESSED IN
THE NEXT.
COMMITTEE.
I MISS SHERMAN AWARE OF A COUPLE
OTHER ISSUES SUGGESTED AS WHAT
CONSTITUTES A SERIOUS THREAT I
HEALTH AND SAFETY MODIFYING
LANGUAGE ON RECONNECTION FEES
I'M HAPPY TO WORK WITH ON A BOTH
OF THOSE ISSUES AS I OUTLINED.
BEFORE WE HEAR FROM YOUR
WITNESSES
I WANT EVERYONE HERE AND YOU
SENATORS TO KNOW THAT IT'S
CENTER JERRY HILLS BIRTHDAY
TODAY AS WE SIT HERE. AT THIS
COMMITTEE. AND WITH THAT I'D
LIKE TO ESTABLISH A CORE
BECAUSE WE HAVE INSUFFICIENT
MEMBERS CAN WE CALL THE.
NO BETTER FOR THE ROLE.
I FEEL LIKE I HAVE AS I SAID
INCIDENT ARE MOURNING WHAT
CENTER FIELD.
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL AND.
AND LIKE HOUSEKEEPING HERE.
STONE.
GAINES.
HILL.
LARA.
SKINNER.
STERN OKAY UP CORPS MISSUS THAT
WAS YOUR FIRST WITNESS PLACE.
THE MONETARY MEMBERS MY NAME'S
ALEXANDER HARD AND I'M WITH THE
WESTERN CENTER ON LAW AND
POVERTY HERE TO EXPRESS OUR
SUPPORT FOR S. B. NINE NINE
EIGHT.
FOR THE LOW INCOME AND
VULNERABLE TENANTS WE REPRESENTS
A WATERSHED OFTEN HAVE DIRE
CONSEQUENCES FOR EVERY ASPECT OF
THEIR LIVES.
I SHUT OFF CAN THREATEN PHYSICAL
AND MENTAL HEALTH FOOD SECURITY
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT HOUSING
SUBSIDIES.
THE ABILITY TO GET AND MAINTAIN
A JOBBER PERFORMANCE SCHOOL AND
FAMILY AND COMMUNITY COHESION.
MOREOVER THESE TENANTS OFTEN
LACK SUBSTANTIAL CONTROL OVER
THE SITUATIONS THAT LEAD TO SHUT
OFF BY THEIR LANDLORD MAY FAIL
TO PAY A BILL FOR THE ENTIRE
COMPARTMENTALIZED. OR MAY FAIL
TO REPAIR LEAK THAT LEADS TO AN
UNAFFORDABLE BILL.
OR DESTRUCTIVE LIFE EVENT CAN
LEAD TO A SHUT OFF AS WELL.
FOR EXAMPLE IS A LEGAL AID
ATTORNEY I REPRESENTED A LOW
INCOME MOTHER OF THREE IN LOS
ANGELES HIS WATER WAS SHUT OFF
WHEN HER LANDLORD FAILED TO PAY
THE BILL FOR HER APARTMENT.
DESPITE CHARGING TENANTS FROM
MONTHLY WATER USE AND WHILE
ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THE
SITUATION CORRECTLY WITH HER
LANDLORD.
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN
AND FAMILY SERVICES BEGAN
THREATENING TO TAKE YOUR
CHILDREN AWAY BECAUSE OF THE
LACK OF RUNNING WATER AND FORCED
TO CHOOSE BETWEEN HER HOUSING
RIGHTS.
AND HER FAMILY SAFETY UMPS HAVE
ACTUALLY VACATED HER APARTMENT.
SB NINE NINE EIGHT TAKES AN
IMPORTANT STEP TOWARD SICK.
MAKING THE HUMAN RIGHTS A WATER
REALITY FOR THESE LOW INCOME AND
VULNERABLE FAMILIES.
IT WOULD PROTECT LOW INCOME
FAMILIES.
REQUIRE WRITTEN POLICIES IN THE
ABILITY TO APPEAL AND INCLUDE
REASONABLE OPTIONS FOR RESOLVING
DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS AND FOR
THESE REASONS WE ARE AT YOUR
SUPPORT.
NEXT WITNESS.
GOOD MORNING SENATORS MONEY
MACHINE FOR CLARITY ON THE WATER
POLICY MANAGER FOR CLEAN WATER
ACTION THE AND I BEEN BEFORE YOU
MANY TIMES BEFORE ARGUING FOR
ACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATER.
AND I SHOULD SAY I LIVE IN THE
CITY AND I WANT TO SUPPORT THE
PEOPLE WHO LIVE. NEAR ME AS
WELL.
I LIVE IN ONE OF THE THREE ZIP
CODES IN SAN FRANCISCO THAT HAS
THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF SHUT OFFS
EVEN THOUGH MY CITIES REALLY
GOOD AT PREVENTING SHUT OFF. AND
I THINK THAT YOU BROUGHT UP A
GOOD POINT AND SENATOR CASKEY
THAT IT'S.
YOU YOU GET A LOT MORE BREAKS
WHEN YOU'RE RICH THEN THE JUNIOR
PORTS IT'S EXPENSIVE TO BE POOR
AND THE COSTS OF HAVING A
DELICATE WATER BILL AND HAVING
YOUR WATER SHUT OFF AND HAVING
IT RE CONNECTED. I REALLY AYE
TOUGH
TOUGH THING TO COME BACK FROM
AND SO THIS BILL MAKES A GOOD
START WE HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO
TO PROVIDE PROTECTIONS. TO
PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD THEIR
DRINKING WATER AND I THINK IT'S
GOING TO TAKE AWHILE TO FIGURE
EVERYTHING OUT THAT THIS IS A
GREAT START TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT WE DO. PUT A SAFETY NET
UNDER THOSE TWO ARE THE MOST ARM
AT RISK IN OUR COMMUNITY AND SO
I URGE YOUR SUPPORT EXIT OTHERS
IN SUPPORT OF. SB NINE NINE
EIGHT.

I AM A TWEENER MARLENA HUMANE
WITH THE EAST BAY MUNICIPAL
UTILITY DISTRICT WANT TO THANK
SENATOR DODD AND HIS STAFF WERE
CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THEM. TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE RETAIN THE
PROVISIONS IN EXISTING LAW. THAT
GO BEYOND WHAT'S IN S. B. NINE
NINE EIGHT THAT ALLOW US TO
PROTECT OUR CUSTOMERS. THANK
YOU.
OKAY.
THE OPPOSITION IS THEIR
OPPOSITION. ABOUT ESTABLISHING A
SIXTY DAY GRACE PERIOD AND THE
OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE
WELL.
THE MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS HAVE BIRTHDAY SENATOR
HILL.
I AM CAN YOUR SOME BEHALF OF THE
ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA WATER
AGENCIES UNFORTUNATELY IT THIS
TIME WE ARE STILL OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED ON THE BILL.
OUR SUSPICION REPRESENTS
APPROXIMATELY FOUR HUNDRED
THIRTY WATER AGENCIES THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA. THAT DELIVER ABOUT
NINETY PERCENT OF THE WATER.
I WE ARE LEADING A COALITION
THAT HAS BEEN PRO ACTIVELY
NEGOTIATING LANGUAGE. WITH
SENATOR DODD AND IN PARTICULAR
IS LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR LESS
SPONSOR ONE I THINK THEM BOTH
FOR THEIR TIME AND CONSIDERATION
OF OUR. AMENDMENTS THE SENATOR
IS ALREADY ACCEPTED A GROUP OF
AMENDMENTS THAT ADDRESSES A
NUMBER OF OUR CONCERNS SO THANK
YOU AGAIN.
E REALLY DO WANT TO COME TO A
ROSE RESOLUTION ON A FIX THAT IS
MORE FOCUSED.
THAT PROTECTS THE INFIRM FROM
HAVING WATER SERVICE
DISCONTINUED EVEN TEMPORARILY.
ONE OF BE PART OF A SOLUTION
INCREASE TRANSPARENCY IMPROVE
OUR MEMBER AGENCY PROCEDURES
WITH RESPECT WATER SERVICE
SERVICE SHUT OFFS.
UNFORTUNATELY HOWEVER THE BILL
IN ITS CURRENT FORM WE THINK
GOES TOO FAR AND WOULDN'T ALLOW
OUR WATER AGENCIES TO
APPROPRIATELY MANAGE.
COSTS.
THEN WHEN WE TALK ABOUT COST OF
WATER SERVICE INCLUDES NOT JUST
THE TAP WATER THAT YOU USE.
BUT THE PIPES THE
INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE PROCESSING
REQUIRED TO BRING IT INTO
DRINKING WATER QUALITY
COMPLIANCE.
AND AS YOU KNOW.
AS A CITED IN THE.
ANALYSIS PROP TWO EIGHTEEN
CONTAINS A COST OF SERVICE
PROVISIONS THAT DON'T ALLOW
PUBLIC AGENCIES.
TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS MORE THAN
THE ACTUAL COST OF AT PROVIDING
THE SERVICE.
THERE'S A BROOK PROHIBITION ON
COST SHIFTING CHARGING ONE SET
OF CUSTOMERS MORE SO THAT
ANOTHER SET OF CUSTOMERS CAN PAY
LESS.
I'M AND AS THE COMMITTEE
ANNOUNCES POINTS OUT AS SOME OF
THESE NONPROFIT LOCAL GOVERNMENT
AGENCIES.
MAY NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO
ABSORB THE COSTS
OF NON PAYING CUSTOMERS ARAB
RESTRICTIONS UNDER PROP TO
EIGHTEEN.
PROHIBITS.
INCREASING RATES ON OTHER
CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THOSE.
AS THIS AS WE ARE SENATOR DODD
MENTIONED.
MANY WATER DISTRICTS CITIES
COUNTIES ARE ALREADY HAVE.
WATER SERVICE.
LOW INCOME PROGRAMS AND SOME DO
NOT HAVE THOSE PROGRAMS BECAUSE
THEY DON'T HAVE OTHER REVENUE
COMING IN.
I'M WE'VE REALLY TRIED IN
EARNEST TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE OF
AFFORDABILITY.
BUT UNTIL YOU YOU CHANGE PROP
TWO EIGHTEEN OF SOME OF OUR OUR
MEMBER AGENCIES ARE PART HAS
STUCK IN IN THAT REGARD. AYE WE
PLAN TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
THE AUTHOR ADDRESS OUR HOUSING
CONCERNS IN AGAIN WHAT THANK
HIM.
I'M AND THINK YOU FOR
DURATION OF OUR POSITION.
THANK YOU JACK HAWKS TELEPHONE.
JACK WALKS CALIFORNIA WATERS
LUSATIAN ON BEHALF OF THE YEAR
WATER UTILITIES REGULATED BY THE
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION.
WE ARE PART OF THE COALITION.
AS WELL.
THIS BILL IS GETTING BETTER AND
BETTER AND BETTER AND BETTER
IT'S.
WE'VE MET SINCE LAST WEEK'S
POLICY. HEARING WE MET WE'VE
MEANT THREE FOUR TIMES.
WITH THE SENATOR DODD HIS STAFF
AND OTHERS OFFICE STAFF AS WELL.
THE AMENDMENTS HE ACCEPTED
TODAY ONE OF THOSE WILL NOW
COMPORT WITH THE P. UC'S TARIFF
RULE ELEVEN.
WE WE STILL WANT TO WORK WITH.
OF THE SENATOR TO STAFF ON.
ON THE.
.
KIND OF THE REDUNDANT AND AN
OVERLAPPING.
COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT
LANGUAGE IN THE BILL WOULD GET
TOO MUCH.
INTERPLAY HERE MIXUP BETWEEN THE
P. YOU SEE IN THE WATERBOARDING
THAT. ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE
AND AND AYE DEVLIN WANNA GET
THAT THAT FIXED.
I HAVE SOME IT BECAUSE WE
SURVEYED OUR MEMBERS.
ON THEIR.
THAT THE.
.
A FREQUENCY OF THEIR
DISCONTINUATION OF SERVICE WE
LEARNED THAT.
THE.
PERCENTAGE.
IT FOR THE LOW INCOME GROUP
THAT IS ACTUALLY A RECEIVED
DISCONTINUATION NOTICES VERY
SMALL THAT'S LESS THAN HALF. OF
ONE PERCENT OF ALL THE.
DISCONTINUATION OF SERVICE AND
AND I WANT TO WORK WITH THE
LESSEN THE SENATOR ON THAT ON
SOME CHANGES IN THE IN THE
LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS TO ADD TO
THAT EFFECTIVE MAKE MAKE THAT
LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS ACCURATE.
.
I A. THAT THAT METAL THE LARGEST
WE'RE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER
ON THIS BILL AND I APPRECIATE
THE A SENATORS HEALTH.
OTHERS IN THE OPPOSED TO THAT SP
NINE NINE EIGHT.
A GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS DON GO OVER REPRESENTING
THE CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL
UTILITIES ASSOCIATION WE ALSO
HAVE AN OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED.
FOR ALL THE REASONS PREVIOUSLY
ARTICULATED AND WE TOO ARE
OPTIMISTIC ABOUT CONTINUING TO
WORK WITH THE AUTHOR IS STAFF
THANK YOU.
MON MEMBERS I HAVE THE PLEASURE
OF BEING ON THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE SO I GET TO HEAR THIS
AGAIN NEXT WEEK BUT WITH REGARD
TO THE. WATER QUALITY AND EQ
QUESTIONS CENTER GAMES YOUR
QUESTION.
COULD THIS THE.
THE FIRST SHOWMEN WITH SPOKEN
SORRY TO GET YOUR NAME.
ADAM THANK YOU.
IF YOU COULD DUH.
THERE THROUGH THIS PROCESS WITH
ME A LITTLE BIT OKAY SO.
IS MY UNDERSTAND WE'RE EXTENDING
THE DELINQUENCY RATE TO SIXTY
DAYS.
THAT REALLY WHAT THE BILL'S
DOING.
GIVE YOU SIXTY DAYS.
AND SERVE THIRTY.
OKAY.
SO.
.
OUR SO WHAT HAPPENED CITY LET'S
SEE HAVE SOMEONE THAT IS LATE IN
MAKING PAYMENTS.
AND THERE CAN BE GIVEN SIXTY
DAYS INSTEAD OF THIRTY TO MAKE
PAYMENT.
Y. WITH THAT VIOLATE.
PROP TWO EIGHTEEN.
WHY WOULD THERE BE ANY WEBER THE
MANY COSTS THAT WOULD BE PASSED
ON TO ANOTHER?
WATER USER.
SO I THINK.
I THINK THERE THE PROP TO
EIGHTEEN ISSUE BEEN BECAUSE THAT
THAT ISSUE I THINK HAS BEEN
PARTIALLY ADDRESSED THROUGH THE
BILL SO I I DON'T THINK IT'S AS
BIG OF A PROBLEM. AT HAS DIPPED
THE PREVIOUS VERSION I THINK I'M
PART OF THE CONCERN WE HAVE IN
THAT THE CURRENT LANGUAGES.
YOU KNOW A RECONNECTION FEE.
NOT CHARGING FOR RECONNECTION
FEE WHERE SOMEBODY HAS TO GO OUT
AND RECONNECT SERVICE.
.
IF THAT'S ACTUAL YOU KNOW WORK
BEING DONE AND SO IF THERE WERE
TO PROHIBIT US FROM CHARGING A
FEE.
YOU KNOW THAT COST WOULD JUST
HAVE TO BE ABSORBED TRIP.
OR FOR PASSED ON IT WHAT
COULDN'T COULD BE PASSED ON TO
ANOTHER RATE HERE. OKAY SO THAT
ON CLEARANCE IN TERMS OF HOW
THAT'S ADDRESSED IN THE
LEGISLATION WHY I BELIEVED IT.
AMENDMENT THAT WAS TAKEN TODAY
WOULD PARTIALLY ADDRESS THAT.
THE DOLLAR FEE.
I SAID IT SAID.
OKAY AT SOMETHING
WILL HE OKAY SO.
HAVE HELP ME CLARIFY.
.
SO IF THERE'S A THIRTY DAY
NOTICE YOU STILL BE
DISCONNECTED.
UNDER CURRENT LAW.
RIGHT AND I THINK LIKE I SAID
THERE'S OTHER THERE'S SOME OF
OUR. MEMBERS HAVE PRICES IN IT
PROCESS IS IN PLACE WHERE THEY
WORK WITH THE CUSTOMER RIGHT
THEY NOTIFY THE CUSTOMER IF THEY
ARE LOW INCOME IF THEY ARE. YOU
KNOW INFIRM THERE ARE THERE ARE
EXISTING PROCESSES IN PLACE
OKAY SO. I'M TRYING TO CLARIFY
WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WOULD BE
FROM.
LOOKING AT FROM THE SIXTIES A
PERSPECTIVE VERSUS THE THIRTY
DAY PERSPECTIVE THAT A I MEAN I
I SAID YES THIRTY MORE DAYS.
.
AND IT WOULD ESSENTIALLY I THINK
NOW THEY COULD CONTEST.
UNDER THAT THE CURRENT VERSION
OF THE BILL I MAKE A CONTEST
THAT FEE WHICH WOULD THEN HALTS
ANY SHUT OFF.
SO IT COULD JUST ESSENTIALLY
DRAG ON BEYOND SIXTY DAYS I
THINK SIXTY DAYS IS JUST A
STARTING POINT.
AS FAR AS AS WE'RE LOOKING AT
THE BILL.
IS THAT I'M IF I COULD SPEAK TO
AUTHORS IS THAT ACCURATE IN
TERMS OF.
THROUGH YOUR DELAYING THE SHUT
DOWN OF THE WATER BY THIRTY
DAYS.
AND SO THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
IS A GHOST NON SIXTY.
IT COULD IF CERTAINLY IF
SOMEBODY WERE TO CONTEST.
THE BILL IT COULD GO ON BEYOND
THAT.
AT WHICH POINT WE COULDN'T SHUT
OFF.
IF FOR EXAMPLE SOMEBODY ON
HOSPICE.
YEAH I'M SORRY.
IT'S NOT IN THEIR SCHEDULE
WHETHER IT'S THIRTY DAYS OR
SIXTY DAYS OFF IF YOU'RE ON
HOSPICE AND YOU'RE DYING.
.
NO THAT'S YEAH.
THAT'S JUST THE TOPS A TOUGH
SITUATION BIGGER OTHER.
THINGS WORK THERE'S AN INFANT
THE HOME YOU ULTIMATELY WHAT WE
DID PART OF THE AMENDMENTS IS IS
WE GIVE THE WATER AGENCY AND THE
OPPORTUNITY GO BACK AND COLLECT
THEIR BY AND I THINK. WE LEAVING
OUR CONCERNS ABOUT PROP TO YOU
YES OKAY A BUT IN THE LAST
GENERATION THAT WE HAD LAST WEEK
THAT WASN'T IN THERE OKAY. THE
BIG PARA BUT I APPRECIATE THAT
YOU'RE WORKING WITH THAT'S
HELPFUL YET THANK YOU CENTER
DOT.
CENTER CUSTOM.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN THE
SENATOR.
.
I CERTAINLY SUPPORT THE.
.
THE IDEA THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO.
PROMOTE IN THIS BILL.
.
WATER IS ESSENTIAL FOR LIFE.
PEOPLE FALL ON HARD TIMES THEY
GET BEHIND.
.
BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT
WITH THE THE APPEAL PROCESS WITH
THE HAVE HOSPICE WHO OF COURSE
WERE APATHETIC.
THAT IT COULD DELAY THE.
PERIOD OF TIME TO POSSIBLY UP
TO SIX MONTHS IS THAT CORRECT.
OKAY SO.
.
I KNOW THAT WATER DISTRICTS AND
IN MY DISTRICT A AND MAY MAYBE
IT'S IT'S LAW THAT.
WITHIN THIRTY DAYS A WATER
DISTRICT MAY SHUT OFF WATER.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU AND IN MY
DISTRICT.
THE WATER DISTRICTS ARE HUMANE
AND USUALLY DON'T DO THAT.
USUALLY WORK WITH THE.
.
PERSON OR FAMILY BECAUSE I.
I HAVE A LOT OF OF PROPERTIES AT
I MANAGE THAT.
ALERTED PEOPLE WHEN THEY GET
THEMSELVES IN TROUBLE AND.
I WORK WITH THE WATER DISTRICTS
TO MAKE SURE THAT.
MY.
MY CUSTOMERS IF YOU WILL
CONTINUALLY GET WATER.
WITH THAT SAID.
FROM THE WATER.
.
BUT ADAM BUT IT'S PRETTY FOR A
MOMENT.
DO WE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT THE.
OVERALL COSTS WOULD BE IN ANY
PARTICULAR YEAR OF PEOPLE THE
FALL BEHIND. WASN'T WHAT'S THE
MAGNITUDE OF A TALKING ABOUT
TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT A SMALL
NUMBER THAT IS ULTIMATELY AND
RECOVERABLE.
THAT'S THAT'S TOUGH TO SAY IN
VARIOUS AGENCY TO AGENCY
CERTAINLY.
IT'S A SMALL SMALL PERCENTAGE
AS WAS SAID BEFORE. OF
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE SHUT OFF
AND AND THOSE THAT ARE YOU KNOW
ON LOW INCOME PROGRAM CERTAINLY
IS IS EVEN SMALLER SO. IF IT'S A
SMALL PERCENTAGE BUT.
COULD BE AN IMPACTFUL IF IF IT
ADDS UP RIGHT.
OKAY SO.
THIS BILL COULD HAVE A.
A FINANCIAL IMPACT ON WATER
DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
IN DALLAS ON COLLECTING AND
MAYBE NOT EVEN CONNECTING COMING
PEOPLE.
I GOT HER BUT THEY PASSED AWAY
THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ASSETS HERE.
BASICALLY STUCK.
AUBURN ACOSTA NOTABLY WHEN YOU
HAVE TO.
RAISE YOUR RATES AYE ANDERSON
GOT PROP TWO EIGHTIES TO
EIGHTEEN ISSUES.
ADULT ONLY BECOMES THAT THE
TAXPAYERS THAT HOPE ULTIMATELY
GOING TO PAY FOR THAT WATER.
SO IT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME THAT IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WE DON'T
HAVE A TRUE SAFETY NET.
FOR.
OF PEOPLE THAT.
HAVE THEIR UTILITY SHUT OFF
EXCEPT THAT I KNOW THAT IN
RIVERSIDE COUNTY.
IT AS I'M SURE OF THE COUNTIES
TO THERE'S A FEDERAL CAP PROGRAM
THAT PEOPLE CAN APPLY TO IF THEY
CAN'T PAY FOR THE ELECTRICITY
THEIR WATER. THAT ALLOWS THEM I
THINK IT'S LIKE TWO HUNDRED
THREE HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS.
A PER YEAR.
.
I LIKE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO
THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE IS THE
IMPACT TO THE WATER DISTRICTS
THAT HAVE EMPLOYEES THEY HAVE TO
PAY THAT THAT WOULD DELIVER
CLEAN WATER.
.
YOU DON'T WORSE STATE THAT HAS A
SEVEN AND A HALF BILLION DOLLAR
BUDGET SURPLUSES HERE.
CAN WE NOT FIND A.
A SAFETY NET FUND IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA.
TO COMPENSATE WATER DISTRICTS IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THAT ARE
UNSUCCESSFUL.
AGAIN NOT RECOVERING THEIR COSTS
I'M CONCERNED IF SOMEBODY WOULD
HAVE THEIR WATER TURNED OFF AT
SIXTY DAYS TO BE HONEST WITH
YOU.
BECAUSE.
IT WOULD IT WOULD IT WAS HER
TURN TO IT YOU KNOW THEY HAVE TO
BE IF. THEY HAVE TO DRINK THEY
HAVE TO COOK.
BUT IT ALSO SHOULD BE YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY AS A WATER.
PURVEYOR ONE THAT CLEANS WATER
DELIVERS WATER IT SHOULD BE YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCES
OF A PEOPLE THAT ARE FINDING
THEMSELVES TO BE AND.
THE.
A DIFFICULT SITUATION THAT AN
EMBASSY DIFFICULT SITUATION
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT.
YOU DON'T.
.
TWENTY TWENTY PERCENT TWENTY
FIVE PERCENT OF THE CITY
CALIFORNIA LIVES AT OR NEAR THE
POVERTY LINE SO THIS IS NOT A
PROBLEM THAT'S GOING TO GO AWAY
THIS IS A PROBLEMS COULD NOT
SUBSIST SO.
CAN YOU COULD SHARE WITH US.
WHAT AMENDMENT?
YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE AUTHOR
TAKE.
THAT WOULD GET YOU TO A POINT OF
EITHER NEUTRALITY OR.
SPEAKS IN SUPPORT OF WHAT HE'S
TRYING TO DO WHAT I ASSUME IT
HAS TO DO WITH COST.
WE SUBMITTED.
I THINK EARLIER THIS WEEK.
ARE BURLAP LAST WEEK ACTUALLY
ANOTHER GROUP OF AMENDMENTS.
I THINK OUR PRIORITIES WERE
REGARDING THE RECONNECTION FEE
AND.
AND THAT THE PEACE IN THE BILL
THAT THE TALKS ABOUT THE EIJI.
RETURN GENERAL'S OFFICE.
BRINGING A SUIT AGAINST THE
WATER AGENCY.
OKAY SO SO THE FIRST ISSUE I
SOUND LIKE IT'S BEEN TAKEN CARE
OF BY ARGUES FOR THE CITY DOLLAR
RECONNECTION MAXIMUM THREE. I
THINK WE'D HAVE TO LOOK ACROSS A
LOOK AT THAT AND I CERTAINLY
UNDERSTAND THE.
THE TOWARD THE TOWARD ISSUES
RIGHT SO. I KNOW THIS SENATOR I
KNOW HE'S GOING TO CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH YOU AND HOPEFULLY GET
TO A POINT WHERE THERE'S SOME
SOME GOOD COMPROMISES.
BUT I WOULD JUST THROUGHOUT
THEIR SENATE SENATOR MY FRIEND
FROM FOR NAPA. THAT.
COULD BE INTERESTING TO
QUANTIFY WHAT THE COSTS WOULD BE
TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF A SAFETY
NET FUND IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO ENSURE.
THAT ANYONE THAT FALLS UNDER
HARD TIMES WITH HER IN HOSPICE
WHEN THEY LOSE HER JOB BUT
THEY'VE BECOME DISABLED WHETHER
COMING BACK FROM. WAR THAT WE
NEED TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE HAVE
DEPENDABLE CLEAN DRINKING WATER
AND IF IF NECESSARY THE STATE
SHOULD BE. THERE TO HELP.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S IMPLEMENTED
THROUGH THE COUNTIES MISTER
CHAIRMAN WE GIVE THE STATE THE
SAFETY NET FIND I CAN'T BELIEVE
IT COULD BE THAT MUCH MONEY.
.
THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS I THINK WE
SERVICE DELIVERING SOCIAL
SERVICES IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WHICH WE INVEST A
HECK OF A LOT OF MONEY AND. AND
I DON'T THINK THIS TO BE A VERY
EXPENSIVE UP BACK FILL THAT
MIGHT GET THE.
WATER DISTRICTS ONBOARD I THROW
THAT OUT JUST AS AN IDEA I'M
GONNA BACK OFF ON THE BILL TODAY
HOPEFULLY TO SEE WHERE IT ENDS
UP AND I KNOW AND HAVE
CONFIDENCE IN THE SENATOR THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO REACH A.
COMPROMISE
CENTER STERN.
THING IS CHAIR OF THE PREVIOUS
IS LOT OF THOROUGH DISCUSSION OF
THE ISSUES I JUST I WANTED TO
DO.
HONE IN THOUGH ON THIS NOTION.
TEEING OFF ON.
CLAIRE FIRM MACULAR THIS POINT.
.
GENERAL FUND MAYBE BUT PROP TWO
EIGHTEEN IS BROKEN AND AS FAR AS
I'M CONCERNED RIGHT NOW IN THE
FACT THAT WE HAVE LOW INCOME
RATES FOR ELECTRIC USERS AND A
WHOLE SAFETY NET SYSTEM FOR.
PEOPLE WHO USE ELECTRICITY AND
GAS IN THIS STATE AND NOT ON
WATER IS A PROBLEM AND YOU'RE
YOU'RE SITTING HERE TRYING TO
SOLVE A PROBLEM WHERE YOU DON'T
HAVE ALL THE TOOLS IN YOUR
TOOLKIT.
HE GOT ONE HAND TIEDBEHIND YOUR
BACK HERE LITTLE BIT AND. I I
DON'T KNOW IF THE WATER BOARD
WAS HERE TODAY AS THAT WAS MY
ONE QUESTION TERMS OF THE TIMING
OF THAT REPORT BECAUSE I KNOW
YOU PUSHED. LEGISLATION TO HAVE
THEM LOOK AT A PLAN FOR WHAT LOW
INCOME RATE ASSISTANCE LOOKS
LIKE.
IS THE WATER BOARD PREGNANT BUT
MAYBE YOU KNOW JACK. YEAH
DUH-THE WATER BOARD ACTUALLY
HOSTED
A SYMPOSIUM LAST WEEK THAT
SENATOR DODD.
SPOKE AND IN.
WALKING ASK OF ALL THE WATER
BOARD MEMBER WHO WAS ON THE LAST
PANEL HE CHAIR A. MODERATE LAST
PANEL.
HE KNEW HE SAID.
YOU KNOW THE BID THIS REPORTER
BE OUT. YOU KNOW.
I HE SAID BEFORE THE END OF THE
YEAR BUT I'M THINKING THAT LISTS
THE SUMMER IS WHAT I'M THINKING
SO. IF I IF I CAN GUESS IT LAGO
NO CRYSTAL BALL AND GUESS WHAT
COMES AT THE END OF THAT REPORT
IS THAT THERE'S SOMETHING HOPE
PROP TWO EIGHTEEN THAT IT. DOES
NOT ALLOW US TO PROPERLY
SUBSIDIZE LOW INCOME WATER USED
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIANS
INSURE AFFORDABILITY UNLESS WE
GO BACK TO THE VOTERS OF
CALIFORNIA SO. THE ONE THING I
WOULD SAY THAT I'M REALLY
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PROGRESS
YOU'RE MAKING YOUR SEEN
INJUDICIOUS IN A MOVIE I'M GONNA
MOVE THE BILL LONG TODAY. UM C.
KEEP CONTINUE TO WORK APPRECIATE
THE DILIGENCE HERE THOUGH DO YOU
AND YOUR STAFF.
BUT ALSO WANTED.
ID PROBE YOUR COMMITMENT THOUGH
ON ON RESOLVING IS BROUGHT TO
EIGHTEEN ISSUE WE GOT IT SCA
FOR.
APPENDING WITH HERTZBERG STILL I

JACKSON YOU WANT ADDRESS GENERAL
PLANS AGAIN. GOOD MORNING THIS
IS S. B. TEN THIRTY FIVE ITEM
NUMBER FIVE.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS LONG TIME NO SEE SOON.
LOOK AT.
THIS STORM WE HAVE THREE
SENTENCES ON NO THAT'S AN EXTRA.
ALRIGHT WELL THIS ONE.
ACTUALLY.
.
IT PROVIDES A CLEAR UPDATE
REQUIREMENT FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO FOLLOW WHEN
ADDRESSING CLIMATE ADAPTATION
AND RESILIENCY IN THEIR GENERAL
PLANNING.
THIS MEASURE REINSTITUTE AND
UPDATED A AN UPDATE SCHEDULE TO
THIS CRITICAL SECTION OF GENERAL
PLAN LAW THAT WAS ORIGINALLY
ESTABLISHED. BY MY S. B. THREE
SEVENTY NINE IN TWENTY OF
FIFTEEN. IT SETS FORTH THE
REQUIREMENT THAT LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS MUST UPDATE THEIR
SAFETY ELEMENT FOR CLIMATE
ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCY
STRATEGIES WHEN THEY UPDATE
THEIR HOUSING ELEMENT OR THEIR
LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN
WHICH EVER SERVES THEIR LOCAL
PET PLANNING PROCESS BETTER.
THE PROVISION WILL STILL REQUIRE
LOCAL.
GOVERNMENTS TO UPDATE THEIR
SAFETY ELEMENTS ON A REGULAR
BASIS
BUT ALLOWING NO MORE THAN EIGHT
YEARS BETWEEN SUBSEQUENT UPDATES
IN OTHER WORDS THE LAW ALREADY
REQUIRES. THAT THESE.
PLANS CONSIDER CLIMATE
ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCY THIS
SIMPLY ADDS THAT YOU THIS ISN'T
A ONE OFF YOU YOU DO IT AND YOU
HAVE TO. UPDATE IT.
NO LESS OF THEM EVERY EIGHT
YEARS.
AND THIS OBVIOUSLY BECOMES AN
IMPORTANT ISSUE BECAUSE. WE ARE
SEEING THE ISSUE OF CLIMATE
ADAPTATION BECOMING MORE AND
MORE RELEVANT TO OUR GENERAL
PLANNING GIVEN THE CHANGES IN
CLIMATE. AND THE IMPACTS THAT
WERE ALREADY.
SEEING.
SO THAT THIS CHAU STUD DOESN'T
DOESN'T GO BACK TO WHAT WE DID
BACK IN TWENTY FIFTEEN IT JUST
SIMPLY CLARIFIES. THAT ONCE YOU
DO INCLUDE ARE AND THAT YOU MUST
INCLUDE CLIMATE ADAPTATION AND
RESILIENCY STRATEGIES THAT WHEN
YOU DO THESE UPDATES YOU ALSO
HAVE TO INCLUDE THEM IN THE
UPDATES.
THE REQUIREMENT TO ADDRESS
FIRES IN FLOOD RISKS AND GENERAL
PLANNING WERE SPECIFICALLY ADDED
IN RESPONSE
THE CATASTROPHIC FIRES AND
FLOODING THAT. AT THE TIME WERE
FRANKLY OF UNUSUAL BUT SCENE IS
INCREASINGLY FREQUENT IN THE
PAST FEW YEARS SADLY. WE'RE
SEEING THESE EVENTS BECOMING THE
NEW NORMAL.
WITH MAJOR FIRES OCCURRING IN
VIRTUALLY EVERY PART OF THE
STATE A DURING THE PAST YEAR OF
COURSE WE EXPERIENCED SOME
SEVERE FIRES IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. AND IN MY DISTRICT
THE.
AUTONOMOUS FIRE WHICH.
STARTED IN DECEMBER WHICH IS NOT
A TIME WE USUALLY CONSIDER FIRE
OF FOREST FIRES WILDFIRES.
TO BECOME THE LARGEST WILDFIRE
IN THE STATE'S HISTORY. A
BURNING OVER TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY
TWO THOUSAND ACRES AND THEN
RESULTING IN A DEBRIS FLOW WHICH
KILLED TWENTY THREE PEOPLE.
SO WE KNOW NOW EVEN MORE CLEARLY
THESE EVENTS ARE INEXTRICABLY
LINKED TO A RAPIDLY CHANGING
CLIMATE. AND THE EFFECTS OF
CLIMATE CHANGE ARE MYRIAD FROM
RISING SEA LEVELS TO WORSENING
AIR QUALITY TO DAMAGED
INFRASTRUCTURE IN OF COURSE. A
TOO INTENSE AND DRAMATIC NATURAL
DISASTERS SO WE NEED TO ENSURE
THAT OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE
SERIOUSLY. THOROUGHLY
COMPREHENSIVELY IN REGULARLY
ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE IN
THEIR LONG RANGE PLANNING AND
THIS BILL.
HELPS TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL
WHILE STILL ALLOWING LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS HAVE FLEXIBILITY
WHEN TIMING THEIR UPDATES.
SO ARE WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY
IN ASSIST IN ANY TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS ARE LORINDA OF THE
VALENTI REPRESENTING THE
AMERICAN PLANNING ASSOCIATION
THE CALIFORNIA CHAPTER.
AND KYLE JONES WITH THE
CALIFORNIA CHAPTER OF THIS YEAR
CLUB THANK YOU FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION I ASK FOR YOUR
VOTE.
SEE.
THE MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS AREN'T ABLE ANTI OF
REPRESENTING THE AMERICAN
PLANNING ASSOCIATION VERY
PLEASED TO BE HERE IN SUPPORT OF
THIS IMPORTANT BILL. AND
CERTAINLY THE AMERICAN PLANNING
ASSOCIATION YEAH SURE IS VERY
MUCH IN SUPPORTS.
ADEQUATE PLANNING AND MAKING
SURE THAT WE ARE ON NOT ONLY
PLANNING FOR IT BUT LOOKING BACK
ON PASSED UNFORTUNATE.
CIRCUMSTANCES AS THOSE AT THE
SENATOR SPOKE TO ABOUT LAST YEAR
I'M SO CERTAINLY THOSE UPDATES
ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN THE SAFETY
ELEMENT AND AND WE REALLY
APPRECIATE THE FLEXIBILITY ON
WHEN THOSE ON. UPDATES ARE MADE
ON WHILE STILL MEETING THE GOALS
OF THE BILLS WERE PLEASED TO BE
IN SUPPORT THANK YOUNG MIDDLE
BEFORE WE GET TO THE NEXT
WITNESS ON BEST PRACTICES.
RIGHT BECAUSE THIS IS.
I SEE THIS IS A FOUR WE WANNA
MAKE SURE THAT WHENEVER WE ARE
WE DO THE. ALBUM THE HOUSING
ELEMENT IT TRIGGERS SAID LISTEN
THE BEST PRACTICE THAT THAT WINS
PLANNERS AND CITIES GET TO IT
THAT THAT ADAPTATION AND
RESILIENCY ARE EMBEDDED INTO.
SHOULD THE ELEMENTS WHETHER IT'S
TRANSPORTATION OR HEALTH AND
SAFETY THAT THAT THAT THAT.
ATTENTION IS GIVEN THROUGHOUT
THE WHOLE GENERAL PLAN RIGHT AND
WE DON'T WANT TO FORCE THEM TO
REDO THEIR GENERAL PLAN BECAUSE
IT'S A LOT OF DOUGH BUT IS NOT
THE BEST PRACTICE. WELL IT'S
CERTAINLY THAT THE SAFETY
ELEMENT WHEN WE'RE DOING UPDATES
THE SAFE ELEMENT THAT IS THE
AREA THAT MAKES THE MOST SENSE
TO BE DOING THOSE UPDATES BUT
EVERY UPDATE. ON IS ALWAYS THE
GENERAL PLAN IS.
AS LOOKED AT AS A WHOLE SO WHEN
YOU'RE UPDATING YOUR ALWAYS
WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR
PLANS ARE FOR EVERY ELEMENT IS
CONSISTENT WITH YOUR GENERAL
PLAN ANOTHER CONSISTENT WITH
EACH OTHER SO. I JUST YOU KNOW I
KNOW THERE'S PLANNERS OUT THERE
AND YOU JUST SAY YOU CAN'T DO
YOUR TRANSPORTATION PLANNING.
I CAN'T UPDATE YOUR HOUSING
ELEMENT ARE YOU COULD I GUESS
YOU CULD OF TREAT YOUR HOUSING
ELEMENT FOR RESILIENCY
HABITATION AND NOT TOUCH THE
TRANSPORTATION ACT KEPT THROUGH
BE.
CURIOUS I GUESS BUT LET'S HEAR
FROM NEXT WHAT.
A GOOD MORNING KYLE JONES IS THE
ACT OF CALIFORNIANS SUPPORT OF
SB TEN THIRTY FIVE TODAY.
THOUGHT WE ARE GETTING BETTER
MODELING AND BETTER DATA OUT
THERE TO BETTER GUIDE OUR
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IMPACTS
CLIMATE CHANGE WILL BRING.
AND I THINK IT'S IF IT'S GOING
TO BE MORE IMPORTANT GOING
FORWARD TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE
DOING THE ADAPTATION RESILIENCY
AND LONG RANGE PLANNING FOR
THAT.
AYE IF YOU THINK BACK TO EIGHT
YEARS AGO WE DIDN'T KNOW TO WHAT
EXTENT.
DROUGHTS COULD GET AYE WE HAVE
HAD THE. THE WORST DROUGHT IN
HISTORY SINCE THEN OUT WE DIDN'T
REALIZE TO WHAT EXTENT.
FIRES COULD REACH INTO EVEN
SUBURBAN AREAS.
AS AS WE'VE LEARNED LAST YEAR
UNFORTUNATELY.
SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE WE DO
MEASURES TO OUT FOR TAX THAT
PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT UP
FRONT THROUGH BETTER PLANNING
OUT RATHER THAN HAVING TO SPEND
MORE MONEY BY REPAIRING AND
REBUILDING AFTERWARDS. US IS
IMPORTANT MEASURE ENTIRE DROWNED
OUT I THINK YOU OTHERS IN
SUPPORT OF SB TEN THIRTY FIVE
PLEASE COME FORWARD.
BOTH MORNING PAUL MASON EXIT FOR
A STRESSED OUT ALSO IN SUPPORT
OF THE BILL WERE VERY
APPRECIATIVE AND THERE'S BEEN A
LOT OF CONVERSATION ABOUT THE
NEED TO DEAL WITH OUR FUELS
CHALLENGES WITH ALL THE FIRES
THAT WERE SEEING. BUT THE OTHER
HALF OF THAT EQUATION IS BEING
COGNIZANT ABOUT WHERE WE'RE
PUTTING PEOPLE.
IS WE KEEP DIGGING THIS HOLE
DEEPER AND BRING PEOPLE IN
HARM'S WAY WE'RE NEVER GOING TO
BE ABLE TO PROTECT THOSE HOMES.
Q..
ALRIGHT OPPOSITION TO THAT S. B.
TEN THIRTY FIVE.
SEEING NO OPPOSITION WILL CLOSE
THE PUBLIC HEARING ENTERTAIN A
MOTION OR QUESTIONS OF THE
AUTHOR.
CENTER GAINES.
.
RESIST LISTENING TO THAT LAST
COMMENT I LIVE IN A VERY RURAL
DISTRICT AND.
.
THIS BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE SHOULD
BE A LIVE WHERE THEY WANT ALL
THE.
MASON ONCE LIVED IN.
RURAL ENVIRONMENT THERE'S MORE
OF A WILD. FIRE EXPOSURE.
WE WANT TO BE AWARE OF THAT AND
WE WANT THEM TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS
THAT WE WOULD WANT TO PRECLUDE
THAT SO.
I GUESS THE QUESTION I WOULD
HAVE IS THAT.
WITH THIS BILL A FACT.
THAT SORT OF LIFESTYLE CHOICE
FOR. I DON'T BELIEVE SO WHAT IT
DOES IS IT IT IT IT BASICALLY.
OF MY COPIOUS AND AND WE REALLY
DON'T TRY TO PRESCRIBE HOW
CITIES DO THEIR JOB. THAT THEY
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT OF FOR EXAMPLE
THE LIKELIHOOD OF WILDFIRES
OCCURRING IN PARTICULARLY RURAL
AREAS ALTHOUGH FRANKLY TODAY
THEY'RE OCCURRING IN URBAN AREAS
AS WELL. ABA CHOSE TO BE ABLE TO
PLAN AND ANTICIPATE. OF THOSE
POTENTIAL CIRCUMSTANCES SO
PERHAPS.
PLACING SOME KIND OF FIRE.
ASSISTANCE OR HAVING OF RURAL
FIRE HOUSE OR SOMETHING IN AREAS
THAT MIGHT NOT HAVE OTHERWISE
BEEN UNDER CONSIDERATION BUT FOR
THE FACT THAT WE'RE SEEING
INCREASING. DROUGHTS LEADING TO
GREATER FIRES AND I WILL BE
INTERRED DOING A BILL NEXT THAT
ADDRESSES ARE TRYING TO DO
BETTER MANAGEMENT OF OUR FAR
STREETS AND AND SO FORTH SO THAT
WE CAN DEAL WITH THOSE. BUT IT
THIS IS A BILL BASICALLY.
TO REQUIRE CONTINUE DILIGENCE
AND CONSCIOUSNESS ABOUT THE
IMPACTS SAID CLIMATE.
ADAPTATION CLIMATE CHANGE IS
HAVING ON OUR STATE AND ON OUR
RESOURCES AND ON OUR COMMUNITIES
AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT
AND. I WOULD.
STRONG WE HSITATE TO TRY TO
LIMIT WHERE PEOPLE CAN LIVE
BECAUSE ARGUABLY IF I IF YOU DO
THAT THERE'S PROBABLY NO PLACE
IN CALIFORNIA WHERE PEOPLE COULD
LIVE SAFELY. AND PROBABLY NO
PLACE IN THE COUNTRY WHERE
PEOPLE COULD LIVE QUOTE UNQUOTE
SAFELY WE HAVE HURRICANES WE
HAVE FLOODING WE HAVE.
TORNADOES AND SO FORTH I MEAN
BUT A WE HAVE ALL SORTS OF
CHALLENGES THIS IS JUST TO TRY
TO ADDRESS THOSE CHALLENGES
WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE
GENERAL PLAN EACH OF OUR
COMMUNITY TO BE A COUNTY LEVEL
TWO. YES I'M ASSUMING AS CASE
WERE UNINCORPORATED AREAS NONE
OF COUNTIES WOULD ADDRESS.
WHAT COULD BE POTENTIAL HUGE
CHALLENGES WE ARE OBVIOUSLY?
THE FIRES THAT WE SAW IN YOUR
DISTRICT AND NOW YOU HAD A
COUPLE OF SEARCHES OUT SO MY
DECATUR GO IN. WRITER HAPS AGAIN
WITH THE DROUGHTS AND EVERYTHING
ELSE THINKS THAT WE DIDN'T
CONTEMPLATE EXACTLY THAT'S
EXACTLY THIS IS A WAY OF TAKING
A VIEW THAT.
AND FIGURE OUT IS THERE A BETTER
WAY RIGHT ACROSS THE TO
DRESS-SOLUTION TO FROM ONE
MINUTE SPOT
STANDPOINT FOR OUR OUR RESIDENTS
PART OF THE NOTION THAT A STITCH
IN TIME TRULY DOES SAVE NINE.
ALRIGHT THANK YOU AND WE'LL BE
WATCHING GREAT INTEREST WHAT'S
GOING ON A TRUCK IN YOUR
DISTRICT WITH THEIR A DIFFERENT
LOOK AT IT DENSITY AND BUILD UP
THE CITY IN A RURAL ENVIRONMENT
SO THAT WILL BE MAYBE THERE. THE
MARRIAGE SENATOR STONE GIVE
QUITE I DON'T YA THINK OBSCURE.
.
BUT ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT I
HAVE WITH THE BILL IS THAT EVERY
TIME WE REVISE SIKA AND.
THE CITIES AND COUNTIES DON'T
HAVE TO ADAPT TO THESE. NEW
CHANGES.
.
THAT.
THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH
ORDINANCES THAT CAN BE.
MAYBE MORE HOSTILE IF YOU WILL
TOWARDS SINGLE FAMILY
DEVELOPMENT RATHER THAN URBAN
HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENT.
WE HAVE A AFFORDABILITY CRISIS
AND.
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
ARE RIVERSIDE COUNTY HAS
HISTORICALLY BEEN THE FASTEST
GROWING COUNTY IN THE.
STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE SECOND
FASTEST GROWING UNITY IN THE
COUNTRY.
AND SO.
IS IT YOUR EXPECTATION THAT. BY
HAVING THIS FURTHER DEGREE OF
REVIEW. THAT WE'RE GONNA BE
EXACERBATING THE COST OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA.
AND THAT IS A STRONG CONCERN
WHEN I HAVE. MY KIDS THAT I
TAUGHT THE LIVES OF LOS ANGELES.
A PROFESSIONAL TOURNEY LIKE
YOURSELF AND.
.
SHE CAN'T FIND A THING UNDER
MILLION BUCKS YOU KNOW IT'S IT'S
TOUGH ON THESE YOUNG KIDS AND SO
THAT'S WHY THEY MIGRATE TO. MORE
RURAL AREAS LIKE SENATOR GAINES
OR TWO MORE AFFORDABLE LAND LIKE
WE HAVE A PLETHORA OF IN IN
RIVERSIDE COUNTY IN NIGHT. I
JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I
UNDERSTAND THE THE GOALS OF OF
OF YOUR LEGISLATION.
BUT I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE
HIGH COST OF HOUSING IN A WE
JUST ADDING ANOTHER LAYER OF.
HOOPS THAT.
THE DEVELOPERS GONNA HAVE TO GO
THROUGH WITH THE COUNTY WITH THE
CITY TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING FOR OUR KIDS SWELLS THIS
BILL HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO
DO WITH SEQUENT RIGHT I WAS
ASKING IF THERE WAS A PAGE ON
THERE OKAY. SO IT HAS NOTHING TO
DO A SEQUEL.
I THOUGHT IT HAS TO DO WITH WHEN
WE WHEN LOCAL COMMUNITIES UPDATE
THEIR LOCAL PLANTS THEY HAVE TO
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.
OF THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
AND TRY TO CREATE GREATER
RESILIENCY AND PROTECTION FOR
PEOPLE OF SOUTHERNERS SERIOUS
QUESTION AND SO THAT THE GENERAL
PLANS HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT
FOR THESE.
THESE ISSUES
RIGHT SO WILL THAT HAVE EIGHTY
ANY DEAL DELETERIOUS EFFECT ON.
THE.
COST OF HOUSING THE END. AREAS
LIKE OURS THAT ARE OF AFFORDABLE
LAND BY CREATING MORE.
STRINGENT ORDINANCES FOR THEIR
DEVELOPMENT.
THE ONE INCIDENT I AM AND.
THERE AND IT'S APPLES AND
ORANGES BUT IF YOU CAN ANSWER I
THINK THAT. THERE IS THE ISSUE
IS JUST THAT.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT IN THESE
VARIOUS ELEMENTS FOR THE SAVE
CHILDREN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
HERE.
THAT WERE PLANNING WE'RE
LOOKING AT YOU KNOW BEFORE
PUTTING HOUSING HERE WHAT
POTENTIALS ARE THERE FOR ISSUES
THAT COULD ARISE GIVEN CLIMATE
CHANGE ALL THAT THAT COMMUNITIES
ARE FACING. IT'S REALLY I THINK
REALLY IT'S LOOKING AT IT FROM A
PLANNING PERSPECTIVE IT'S ALL
ABOUT PLANNING ABOUT LAND USE
MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE TAKING
INTO ACCOUNT THINGS THAT.
UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE FACING
HEARING CALIFORNIA BASED ON
CLIMATE CHANGE ON SO IT'S NOT.
SO MUCH WOULDN'T LOOK AT IT AS
IS IT RAISING THAT YOU KNOW
HOUSING COSTS OR ISSUES WITH C.
GOOD TO SEE WHAT THIS IS REALLY
UPDATING. SOMETHING THAT WERE
ALREADY DOING THE SAFETY ON RT
UPDATING HAS HE'S MEAN.
PARDEE UPDATING THE SAFETY
ELEMENTS WERE ANYWAY SO NOW
WE'RE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT OTHER
ISSUES ON THAT UNFORTUNATE
COMMITTEES ARE FACING THROUGH
CLIMATE CHANGE.
I MEAN
YOU WOULDN'T DISAGREE WITH YOU
KNOW HAD WE
INCIDENT CLIMATE CHANGE TWENTY
YEARS AGO MAYBE DEVELOPMENTS IN
SANTA ROSA AND SO NO MY COUNTY
MIGHT NOT HAVE GONE IN OR MY
DISTRICT. REDNECKS AND AND
CENTER HILLS DISTRICT RIGHT NEXT
TO THE BAY IF WERE AT SIX INCHES
ABOVE SEA LEVEL AND YOU SAY YOU.
MAYBE IF YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
ABOUT THAT THAT IT MAY HAVE IT
MAY HAVE AN EFFECT BUT IT WILL
BE KNOWLEDGE BASE ARE TO BE
INFORMATION THAT THE COMMITTEE
HAVE WHEN THEY DO THIS. PLANNING
DOCUMENT FOR THEIR CITIES RIGHT
NOW WE WANT US RIGHT I MEAN IT'S
BEEN GOOD INFORMATION GOOD
INFORMATION MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE
EFFECT.
WE HAVE A MOTION BY SENATE'S
TURN. OUT AND I JUST SEE HOW
MOVE THE BILL AND.
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS RETAIN FULL
DISCRETION AS TO WHERE THEY WERE
HOW THEY WANT TO STRUCTURE
HOUSING TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
THEY JUST NOW HAVE KNOWLEDGE AND
IN FACT MANY PEOPLE STILL PRO
ONE WHO LIVE NEAR THE BAY OR
THEIR C. LEVEL RISE IS PRETTY
THERE. BUT IF YOU'RE PAYING IF
YOU'RE JUST DEALING WITH THE
TRUE COST HERE AND ACTUALLY
HAVING ACCURATE INFORMATION IT'S
GOING TO HELP PLANNING GENERALLY
BEEN A RURAL DISTRICT TO IT OUT.
I DON'T SEE THIS AS ANY
IMPEDIMENT TO THAT LIFESTYLE I
ENJOYED.
NOT BE IN NEAR STREET LIGHTS AND
AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO I WANNA
GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT WHERE IT'S
ALL DARK BUT. ANYWAY OF.
MOTION MOVE THE BILL AND.
AYE AYE AYE YEAH I SEE THIS AS
A. AS AS YOU SAID FULL
INFORMATION IS ALWAYS A GOOD
THING.
SENATE JACKSON ELECT CLOSE VERY
BRIEFLY I THINK A KNOWLEDGE IS A
GOOD THING I THINK. PEOPLE
SHOULD.
BUT TO THE EXTENT WE CAN KNOW
ABOUT THE DANGERS OF WHERE
PEOPLE.
ARE BUILDING A THAT TO THE
EXTENT THAT WE CAN.
ACCOMMODATE
OF THE DESIRES OF PEOPLE LIVE IN
A PARTICULAR AREA WHILE TAKING
INTO ACCOUNT.
THE POTENTIAL DISASTERS OR
DIFFICULTIES AND SO PLAN FOR
THOSE AND THAT'S PART OF THIS IS
TO BE PROACTIVE IN. AND TRY TO
ANTICIPATE IN ORDER TO SAVE LIFE
AND PROPERTY. THAT'S ESSENTIALLY
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.
I THINK THAT.
WE ALREADY HAVE THIS
REQUIREMENT IN LAW IT TURNS OUT
THAT. I'VE TALKED TO MANY
COMMUNITIES WHO FIND THIS REALLY
HELPFUL AD APPRECIATE THAT WE
ARE GOING TO BE CONSERVE
REQUIRING THAT WE CONSIDER THIS
GOING FORWARD. OF THIS JUST
SIMPLY INSURES THAT IT'S DONE ON
A REGULAR BASIS.
SO THAT WE CAN HAVE THE BEST
INFORMATION WE ARE BEST PREPARED
AND WE CAN AVOID THE KINDS OF
TRAGEDIES. THE CAUSE THE LOSS OF
SO MANY LIVES UP IN A NORTHERN
CALIFORNIAAND THEN OF COURSE A
IN MY DISTRICT THIS YEAR MEAN
THAT'S THE GOAL. IS A BETTER TO
KNOW AND TRY TO PLAN FOR IT.
ESPECIALLY IF WE HAVE THE
ABILITY TO KNOW WHEN THE MOTHER
NATURE DOESN'T SHARE HER
PLAYBOOK WITH US BUT. A IT DOES
GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE
MORE AWARE AND TO TRY TO TAKE
PROACTIVE MEASURES IN RESPONSE.
WITH IDEAS FOR YOUR RIFLE WE
HAVE A MOTION PLEASE CALL THE
ROLL.
ITEM NUMBER FIVE SP ONE ZERO

ITEM ON A.
I CALLED NOW WE'RE MOVING TO
ITEM NUMBER FOURTEEN CENTER
SYSTEMS S. B. TWELVE SIXTY THIS
IS THE BILL THAT. ONLY DEALS THE
ONLY EQ JURISDICTION IS THE AIR
QUALITY MONITORING TWENTY FIVE
PAGES ONLY THREE SENTENCES
RELATE TO THIS COMMITTEE
SENATOR.
BUT THEY ARE THREE IMPORTANT
SENATOR IMPLORED CHANCES BUT
WITH.
PLEASE PROCEED GOOD MORNING
AGAIN MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS THIS
IS S. B. TWELVE SIXTY AND ON THE
POST FIRE PREVENTION IN FORESTRY
MANAGEMENT BILL THAT WILL
PROMOTE LONG TERM FOREST HEALTH
AND WILDFIRE RESILIENCY.
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
AGAIN A ADDRESSING THE.
SPRUANCE THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR.
YOU THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND IN MY CAPACITY
NOT ONLY AS THE SENATOR FOR THE
AREA THAT SUFFERED THE WORST
WILDFIRE IN CALIFORNIA HISTORY
BUT IN MY CAPACITY AS CHAIR. OF
THE JOINT COMMITTEE ON EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT OF THIS HAS BEEN A
FOCUS. OF OF OF OUR EFFORTS
DURING THE PAST YEAR.
BECAUSE OF OUR CHURCH THE
EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE IN
DRAMATIC AND DESTRUCTIVE OF
NATURAL OFFENSE PARTICULARLY
WILDFIRES.
OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS LAST
YEAR. ARE WE HAD NEARLY NINE
THOUSAND TWO WILDFIRES IGNITED
THROUGHOUT THE STATE THAT BURNED
ONE POINT TWO MILLION ACRES OF
LAND. DESTROYED OF THOUSANDS OF
STRUCTURES OVER TEN THOUSAND
STRUCTURES.
AND KILLED AT LEAST OF FORTY
FOUR PEOPLE ARE AND THAT'S
BEFORE THE DEBRIS FLOW THAT
OCCURRED IN MY DISTRICT IN.
EARLY JANUARY THAT KILLED
ANOTHER TWENTY THREE.
SO FIVE OF CALIFORNIA'S MOST
DESTRUCTIVE WILDFIRES ON RECORD
OCCURRED IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN.
WE HAVE.
SEEN FIRES NOW A EXIST OVER THE
COURSE OF THE ENTIRE YEAR THE
FIRE SEASON USED TO RUN BETWEEN
APRIL AND OCTOBER IT NOW RUNS
YEAR ROUND.
AND UNFORTUNATELY TWENTY
SEVENTEEN DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE
AN ABNORMALITY TO THE CONTRARY
MOST OF OUR LARGEST WILDFIRES AS
I INDICATED HAVE OCCURRED OVER
THE LAST FEW DECADES.
CHANGING CLIMATE PATTERNS HAVE
MADE OUR STATE MUCH MORE
VULNERABLE TO WILDFIRE.
WITH MASSIVE MASSIVE TREE DIE
OFFS DUE TO YEARS OF DROUGHT AND
WIDESPREAD INSECT INFESTATIONS.
A TO THE TO NOW OF I BELIEVE WE
ESTIMATE THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY
ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION.
DEAD TREES IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA
HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION THIS
IS AN EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER.
RAISING THE LEVEL OF FUEL OF
POTENTIAL ALL COMBINING TO
CREATE SEVERE FIRE RISKS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
INDEED THE NATIONAL INTERAGENCY
FIRE CENTER'S PREDICTIVE OUTLOOK
FOR TWENTY EIGHTEEN IS
FORECASTING ABOVE NORMAL LARGE
FIRE POTENTIAL AGAIN IN
CALIFORNIA. DUE TO THE
PERSISTENCE OF THESE DRY FUELS
FREQUENT ONSHORE I EXCUSE ME
OFFSHORE WINDS AND GENERALLY
UNFAVORABLE WEATHER.
THIS MEASURE S. B. TWELVE SIXTY
ATTEMPTS TO HELP BREAK THAT
CYCLE.
BY REORIENTING CALIFORNIA'S
FOREST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND
POLICIES TOWARD LONG TERM FOREST
HEALTH AND FIRE RESILIENCY. AS
THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS NOTES
MOST OF THE CONTENT OF THIS
BILL.
PERTAINS TO FOREST HEALTH POLICY
IN FIRE PREVENTION BUT A KEY
PROVISION TOWARD THE END OF THE
BILL. CALLS FOR OUR STATE AND
REGIONAL AIR RESOURCES BOARD TO
ENHANCE AIR QUALITY IN SMOKE
MONITORING DURING PRESCRIBED
BURNS.
AND TO CRAFT PUBLIC AWARENESS
CAMPAIGNS REGARDING THE BENEFITS
AND POTENTIAL HEALTH RISKS THAT
ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THESE BURNS.
WE KNOW THAT AIR QUALITY
CONCERNS ARE AMONG THE BIGGEST
IMPEDIMENTS TO PRESCRIBED
BURNING IN CALIFORNIA THEY
SMELL.
THEY CREATE.
A FATAH MEMBERS THEY CREATE
DIRTY AIR.
THE.
SMALL PARTICLES THEY CREATOR
KNOWN AS PM TWO POINT FIVE CAN
PENETRATE DEEP INTO THE BODY AND
INFILTRATE THE RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM.
PRESCRIBED BURNS CAN BURDEN
COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE THAT
ALREADY STRUGGLE WITH POOR AIR
QUALITY POTENTIALLY CONTRIBUTING
TO HIGHER SEVERITY ASTHMA
ATTACKS BRONCHITIS. AND OTHER
LONG IN CARDIOVASCULAR
CONDITIONS WHICH IS WHY OUR AIR
DISTRICTS ARE EMPOWERED TO
DECIDE WHEN AND WHERE THESE
BURNS CAN TAKE PLACE.
BUT NEW TECHNOLOGY AND TOOLS
LIKE PORTABLE ENVIRONMENTAL BETA
ATTENUATION MONITORS OR E. BAMS
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO HAVE
ACRONYMS.
PROMISE TO SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCE
THE ABILITY OF AIR QUALITY
MANAGERS TO PRODUCE MORE
DETAILED FORECASTING AND
IDENTIFY AREAS OF POTENTIAL RISK
FROM SMOKE.
WITH BETTER AIR MODELING DATA IN
REAL TIME AIR QUALITY MONITORING
CALIFORNIA WILL BE ABLE TO
IDENTIFY MORE WINDOW ELIGIBLE
WINDOWS EXCUSE ME ELIGIBLE FOR
PRESCRIBED BURNING OPERATIONS.
WITH MINIMAL IMPACTS
A PUBLIC HEALTH.
INDEED THIS YEAR CAL FIRE AND
THE A ARE BE INITIATED A PILOT
PROJECT TO TEST THESE MONITORS.
IN THE FIELD DURING SELECTED
PRESCRIBED BURNS BUT MORE NEEDS
TO BE DONE. OUR STATE AND LOCAL
AGENCIES NEED TO DEVELOP BEST
PRACTICES FOR OF VALUE WAITING
IN MONITORING AIR UALITY BEFORE
AND DURING PRESCRIBED BURNS AND
FOR COMMUNICATING RELEVANT
METRICS.
AMONG STAKEHOLDERS DURING THE
DECISION MAKING PROCESS
WE ALSO NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB
A BETTER JOB MESSAGING TO THE
PUBLIC ABOUT THE POTENTIAL
HEALTH IMPACTS ARISING FROM
PRESCRIBED BURNS. AND THE TRADE
OFFS BETWEEN CONDUCTING
PRESCRIBED BURNS AND THE GROWING
THREAT OF WILDFIRE IN THIS STATE
NOW WHILE. WHILE PRESCRIBED
BURNS DO PRODUCE HARMFUL
EMISSIONS.
I CAN TELL YOU PERSONALLY THE
CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRES PRODUCE
MUCH MUCH MORE.
AND THE FIRE THAT BURNED IN MY
DISTRICT FOR FORTY DAYS.
FORTY DAYS WE WERE BREATHING IN
THIS HORRIFIC SMOKE.
WE WERE FORCED TO WEAR THESE AND
NINE MASKS WALKING AROUND THE
COMMUNITY I THOUGHT I WAS BACK
IN JAPAN. WHERE IF YOU CALL
PEOPLE IN CHINA WHERE THESE
MASKS
EXCEPT IN IN THE LINE IS A MUCH
STRONGER MASK TO TRY TO KEEP UP
THEIR PARTICULAR MATTER? I
SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THEM WITH ME
I STILL HAVE ONE IN MY CAR WE
WERE DISPENSING THEM FOR FREE TO
THE COMMUNITIES. TO OUR WORKERS
IN THE FIELD WHO WERE BREATHING
IN THIS HORRIFIC. THIS IS THE
WORST OF ALL POSSIBLE RESULT IN
IF WE DON'T ADDRESS THESE
WILDFIRES.
THE AIR QUALITY OF OF OUR A
COMMUNITIES IS GOING TO BE FAR
WORSE THAN THE AIR QUALITY IF WE
DO THESE PRESCRIBED BURNS.
SO THOSE ARE THE ISSUES THAT S.
B. TWELVE SIXTY AIMS TO ADDRESS
A WE.
DIRECT THE YEAR STATE AIR
RESOURCES BOARD TO WORK WITH
LOCAL AIR DISTRICTS TOWARD
DEVELOPING ENHANCED AIR QUALITY
AND SMOKE MONITORING PROGRAMS
FOR THESE PRESCRIBED BURNS USING
THE LATEST SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY AND TO EDUCATE THE
PUBLIC. FOR THE NEED FOR THESE
BURNS NOBODY LIKES THESE BURNS
BUT I CAN TELL YOU. IF WE DON'T
HAVE THEM AND WE END UP WITH
WILD FIRES LIKE WE HAD. THE
HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITIES IS AT
SEVERE RISK AND I CAN TELL YOU
TO THIS VERY DAY I KNOW A NUMBER
OF PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL
SUFFERING THE RESIDUAL EFFECTS.
OF HAVING BRIEFED IN THAT
HORRIFIC SMOKE FOR THAT LENGTH
OF TIME SO WITH ME TODAY ARE
CRAIG THOMAS FROM THIS YEAR
FOREST LEGACY AND LIZ FOX BURKE
FROM THE NATURE CONSERVANCY. TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL.
AND ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS FOR ME.
GO AHEAD PLEASE.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
SPEAKING FROM THE COMMITTEE
TODAY ARM.
A.
YEAH I'M MISSING THE OTHER DID
ANNOUNCE RESOURCES COMMITTEE%
HEARING HOW FORTUNATE I FEEL TO
BE A LIVE IN A STATE LIKE
CALIFORNIA WHERE WE CAN. TALK
ABOUT FIRE PREVENTION.
AND ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF THE.
FIRES.
THAT ARE HAPPENING IN ENOUGH OF
THE FIRES TYPE AND
INTENSITY THAT WE DO NEED TO
BUILD RESILIENCE.
PART OF THAT FIRE ISSUE THAT IS
SELDOM DISCUSSED IS THE MEGA
ADMISSION SIDE OF THE OUTPUTS.
THAT ARE TRULY STUNNING WHEN YOU
LOOK AT FACILITIES OUTPUTS IN
POINT SOURCES FOR EXAMPLE IN
FRESNO BIOMASS PLANT THIRTY FIVE
TONS OF PM PER YEAR. THE RIM
FIRE IN ONE BURN PERIOD PUT OUT
TEN THOUSAND TONS PM TWO POINT
FIVE. SO WE'RE REALLY YOU KNOW
AND IF THOSE LANDSCAPES WOULD
HAVE HAD A PRESCRIBED FIRE
PROGRAM ADEQUATELY COVERING
THOSE ACRES AS WOULD'VE
EMISSIONS WOULD HAVE DROPPED
SIGNIFICANTLY.
SO THAT THE THE POINT HERE IS
WITH THEIR MINDED WORKING WITH
THEIR MONITORS WE HAVE SUPPORT
NOW FROM. IN A PARTNERSHIP
CALLED THE FIRE IMHO YOU
PARTNERSHIP THAT INCLUDES CAL
FIRE IN FOR SERVICE AND. SOON
ABOUT A CONSERVANCY SEVERAL
STATE AGENCIES.
NGOS IT ALSO HAS THREE AIR
DISTRICTS JOINING IN SUPPORT OF
INCREASING. TO MITIGATE PUBLIC
HEALTH HARM FROM MEGA EMISSIONS
A MAGNIFIER. SO THE STRATEGY IS
VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S
COLLABORATIVE. OF WE HAVE A
SUPPORT LETTER I BELIEVE FROM
CAP COVER THEIR DISTRICT
COALITION AIR DISTRICT OFFICERS
UNDERSTAND THIS TO THAT WORKING
TOGETHER. TO MITIGATE SMOKE HARM
FROM INCREASED PRESCRIBED
BURNING ACROSS THE STATE WHICH
IS THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO
MITIGATE THE TYPE OF FIRE WE
DON'T WANT THAT WE'VE BEEN
SEEING MORE AND MORE OF. DO THAT
IN A COLLABORATIVE FASHION WITH
THE PROPER TOOLS WHICH INCLUDE
THESE PORTABLE MONITORS THAT THE
SENATOR MENTIONED. AND MODELERS
THAT CAN ACTUALLY TRACK THE
PLUMES AND GIVE THE AIR
ADVISORIES IN A PROPER TIMING TO
LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT SOMETHING'S
COMING IN MAYBE TODAY IS A DAY
TO STAY INDOORS.
ALL OF THOSE COMPARISONS OF
PRESCRIBED FIRE MISSIONS PALE
COMPARED TO ONE OF THESE RIPPING
FIRES IT TAKES OFF THAT WE'VE
BEEN SEEING MORE ANDMORE OF.
THE FACT THAT IT'S A
COLLABORATIVE THE FACT THAT
WE'VE GOT NEW SCIENCE AND NEW
TECHNOLOGIES ARE NOT JUST
LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AND
SEEING A PLUME AND IMAGINING
WHERE IT'S GOING WHAT'S
HAPPENING BUT WE. MEASURE IT WE
WORK TOGETHER TO LET COMMUNITIES
KNOWING THE HEALTH ADVERSE FOLKS
KNOW.
AND WE INCREASE THE PRESCRIBER
PROGRAM THERE'S NO NO FIRE
OPTION IN CALIFORNIA WE WORK
WITH IT WE'RE LEARNING TO LIVE
WITH THAT.
AND THAT IS THE BEST AND REALLY
ONLY TOOL. WE HAVE MECHANICAL
TREATMENTS ARE REAL BUT NOT NEAR
ENOUGH ACRES ABSENT A PRESCRIBED
BURN PROGRAM I UNDERSTAND THE
CHAIRMAN OF THE BUDGET

HEALTH BILL IN THE SENATE.

WAKE OF THE WORST FIRE SEASON IN
THE STATE'S HISTORY.
AS OTHERS ON THE PANEL HAS SAID
IN THE ALLEY EL STATED IN THEIR
RECENT REPORT THE CHANGING
CLIMATE INCREASES THE IMPORTANCE
OF OUR STATE FORESTS.
FORCE CAN BE AN IMPORTANT TOOL
TO OFFSET CLIMATE CHANGE BY
SEQUESTERING CARBON OR UNHEALTHY
FOREST CONDITIONS CAN LEAD TO
MAKE A FIRES WHICH CARRIES A
LARGE AMOUNT OF CARBON INTO THE
ATMOSPHERE. WE MUST IMPROVE
FOREST HEALTH TO REDUCE GHG
EMISSIONS BY MINIMIZING
WILDFIRE.
IN PARTICULAR THE NATURE
CONSERVANCY A SUPPORT OF SB
TWELVE SIXTIES EFFORTS TO

AUTHOR BRING THIS FOR TACKLING
IT THAT TOUGH ISSUE THERE IS A
LONG TIME COMING INTO IT THIS
NEED TO BE SOLVED SO THANK YOU
FOR.
BRINGING A FORD AND I'M SORRY
FOR THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER
WHICH YOU HAVE TO BRING THIS
FORWARD.
I'M GOING TO MOVE THE BILL.
AT AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME BUT.
I WANTED TO ASK YOU JUST BECAUSE
WERE ANY CUE.
AIR QUALITY IMPACTS THE
GREENHOUSE GAS SIDE I WANT TO
SEE IF YOU'RE OPEN IT ALL TO
ADDING A LITTLE MORE MONITORING
FUNCTION IN ON THE GREENHOUSE
GAS SIDE AS OPPOSED TO JUST ON.
THE PM AND THIS SORT OF DIRECT.
IN PARTICULAR YOU KNOW THAT SORT
OF IMMEDIATE AMBIENT AIR QUALITY
ISSUES JUST BECAUSE. CURRENTLY
RIGHT NOW.
I I THINK WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT
OF A BLIND SPOT IN OUR STATE
WIDE INVENTORY OF GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS AROUND THESE KIND OF
QUOTE UNQUOTE FUGITIVE EMISSIONS
WE ACTUALLY DON'T REALLY MEASURE
THEM. SO WE DON'T REALLY KNOW
THE IMPACT.
I THINK THERE'S ACTUALLY AN
ARGUMENT TO BE MADE THAT IF YOU
DO PRESCRIBED BURN POLICY THE
RIGHT WAY YOU CAN GET A NET AIR
QUALITY AND GREENHOUSE GAS
BENEFIT POTENTIALLY BY AVOIDING.
THOSE LARGE EVENTS THOSE LARGE
FIRES AND SAID YOU DO A LITTLE
TO PRESERVE A LOT BUT I I JUST
WANTED TO PROBE THE AUTHOR TO
SEE IF THERE WAS OPENNESS TO
THAT. I KNOW MAYBE NOT IT IN
COMMITTEE TODAY BUT GOING
FORWARD. FOR ABSOLUTELY
ABSOLUTELY AND I'D BE HAPPY
AGAIN THIS. I THINK THE GOALS OF
THIS BILL ARE.
OR.
UPON BY EVERYONE.
WE ARE WORKING AS WAS MENTIONED
TO. TWEAK IT TO TO MEET THE
CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN
EXPRESSED BY. A VARIETY THE
GROUPS WOULD BE ENGAGED AND I
CERTAINLY THINK ADDING THE GHB
ELEMENT TO THIS.
NOT ONLY APPROPRIATE BUT
IMPORTANT AND IT WILL HAPPY TO
DO THAT I MEAN WE KNOW THAT.
WE HAVE ONE OF THESE BIG FIRES
AND ALL OUR EFFORTS TO REDUCE
THE EMISSIONS FROM VEHICLES AND
STATIONARY SOURCES AND SORT OF
GO. GO UP IN SMOKE LITERALLY
WITH THE AMOUNT OF. EMISSIONS
THAT WE SEE FROM THESE FIRE SO
ARE ABSOLUTELY A GREAT IDEA AND
WE WILL INCLUDE THAT GOING
FORWARD THANK YOU YEAH.
HOPEFULLY PLACES CHAIR. WILL BE
TALKING ABOUT THE I THINK IT'S
ANTHROPOS.
ENTER THE ROOM. JANICK.
EMISSIONS IN SENATOR MORLOCKS
BILL. IN FOURTEEN SIXTY THREE
THERE'S A.
A MAN I COME OUT THE WAY HE
THINKS IS GONNA COME OUT BUT
CENTER GAINS. FOR KIDS HOLD OFF
THERE'S A CLARIFICATION.
.
THANK YOU FOR BRING YOUR BILL
FORD CENTER JACKSON.
OUT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
ABLE TO ACTUALLY DO THE
PRESCRIBED BURNS SO. AND SO I
THINK THEY'RE SELLING ISN'T A
BALANCING ACT IN TERMS OF
BECAUSE WE KNOW THERE COULD BE A
MISSIONS RIGHT.
BUT IF WE DO IT RIGHT THE FEWER
EMISSIONS THAN A WILDFIRE. SO WE
WANNA.
I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE GOTTA
BE CAREFUL THE WAY IN AND HELP
PROCEEDS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING THE
PRESCRIBED BURNS YEAH.
THAT THAT'S JUST A CONCERN AND
HOPEFULLY YOU'LL CRAFTED IN SUCH
A WAY THAT IT CAN BE ACTUALLY
IMPLEMENTED AND WE GET THIS
GOING AS FAST AS WE CAN.
I DID HAVE ONE OTHER QUESTION
THOUGH IF I COULD CLARIFY IN
TERMS OF THE BOARD OF.
FORESTRY.
WAS GONNA IT YEAH INCREASE THE
REVIEW THE SAFETY ELEMENT OUT
FROM NINETY DAYS TWO HUNDRED
EIGHTY DAYS.
AND THAT'S A CONCERN. THAT I
HAVE THAT.
IF WE GO TO.
TOO LONG ON THE REVIEW THEM OR
NOT ACTING. AND.
MOVING FORWARD TRY BURNED SOME
WONDER IF THAT WOULD BE. IF YOUR
LETTER SECOND LOOK AT THAT.
HAPPY TO LOOK AGAIN.
THE GOAL IS TO FIND THE SWEET
SPOT WHERE WE CAN ACHIEVE THE
RESULTS WHICH ARE TO HAVE
PRESCRIBED BURNS TO REDUCE THE
POTENTIAL FOR THESE OUT OF
CONTROL WILDFIRES.
WE'RE WORKING WITH ALL THE
STAKE HOLDERS WILL CONTINUE TO
DO THAT CAN GIVE YOU AN ANSWER
RIGHT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD
BECAUSE IT'S NOT TECHNICALLY
THE.
THE IN ANY QUEUE ISSUE BUT IT IS
SOMETHING THAT WE ARE TRYING TO
WORK ON SO I CAN COME UP TO
THAT.
POINT OF VIEW YES BY EVERYBODY
INVOLVED BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING
TO BE IMPLEMENTING A LOT OF THIS
WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
PRESCRIBED BURNS ARE DONE
SAFELY.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T PART OF THE
PROBLEM WHY WE HAVEN'T DONE IS
YOU NEVER CAN TOTALLY GUARANTEE
THAT YOU'RE NOT THE WINDS ARE
KIND OF PICK UP OR THAT THERE
WOULD BE A PROBLEM. BUT WE ARE
AT A POINT WHERE WE HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING AND THIS I THINK IS
THE SAFEST WHERE WE'RE WORKING
TOWARD THE SAFEST MOST EFFECTIVE
APPROACH. AND SO I CAN COMMITTEE
WE WILL KEEP WORKING TO FIND
THAT SAFEST MOST EFFECTIVE
APPROACH RATE YOUR STAY
COMMUNICATION WITH MY OFFICE ON
THAT ISSUE ABSOLUTE I APPRECIATE
CERTAINLY. FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD
THIS YEAR NEVADA CONSERVANCY'S
WORKING COLLABORATING IN THIS
EFFORT AS THERE ARE SOME YOUNGER
OKAY GREAT THANK YOU CENTER HELP

SENATOR JACKSON THE THE
TIMELINESS OF OF THIS IS SO
CRITICAL ADD ENOUGH WE. WERE ALL
PAID ATTENTION BE YESTERDAY THE
AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION CAME
OUT WITH THEIR RATINGS AND
REPORT CARD FOR AIR QUALITY.
IN A VERY SENSITIVE FOR THE BAY
AREA BECAUSE OF.
MY ROLE IN THE AIR DISTRICT AND
ON ON THE THE AIR RESOURCES
BOARD.
AND IT'S GOING DOWN I MEAN OUR
AIR QUALITY IS. IS MUCH WORSE IT
IS MUCH WORSE IN SACRAMENTO THEY
RECEIVED AN ELF IN THAT IN THE
MAIN REASON FOR THAT IS THE PM
TWO POINT FIVE.
AND AS A RESULT OF THE FIRES OF
THE LAST FEW YEARS HAS AS COACH
CONTAMINATED THE AIR IN THE
HEALTH RISK FROM THAT IS IS
EXTRAORDINARY.
THAT WE DON'T SEE WE DON'T DO
MAY SMELL A LITTLE BIT BUT IT'S
IT'S IT'S A AMAZING SO THANK YOU

CRITICAL. THANKS VERY MUCH WE
HAVE A MOTION CENTERED TRACKS ME

POSITIONS THIS IS A BILL THAT IS
TRYING TO WORK WITH ALL THE
STAKE HOLDERS TO ACHIEVE THAT

JUDICIAL CHALLENGE BILL.
RIGHT.
WHAT
?
YEAH.
JUST WING IT NOT
.
OKAY.
GOOD MORNING I'M MISTER CHAIR
AND MEMBERS.
OF SENATE BILL TEN FIFTY TWO
WILL REQUIRE A FULL DISCLOSURE
OF ALL PARTICIPATING PARTIES AND
SEQUEL LITIGATION. AND REMOVES
AND ANONYMITY FROM THOSE WHO
FILE UNDER THE ALIASES OF
UNINCORPORATED ASSOCIATIONS. IN
ADDITION THE BILL REQUIRES THE
DISCLOSURE OF ANY PARTY THAT
CONTRIBUTES MORE THAN ONE
HUNDRED DOLLARS TOWARD THE
PLAINTIFFS. WERE PETITIONERS
COSTS OF A SEQUEL LAWSUIT AS IS
ALREADY REQUIRED IAIN CAMPAIGN
CAMPAIGN FINANCE DISCLOSURE
LAWS.
ARE MEMBERS I DID HOLD A HIDING
HOUSING CRISIS DISCUSSION IT WAS
AROUND TABLE IN MY DISTRICT. ARE
THE FIRST PART OF THIS YEAR AND
ARE WE HEARD FROM MANY
CONSTITUENTS AND BUSINESSES
ALIKE. I WAS APPROACHED BY ON
MANY INDIVIDUALS ARE CONCERNING
ARE CONCERNED WITH THE HOUSING
PROJECTS BEING STALLED. BY YEARS
OF STRETCHING EXPENSIVE
LITIGATION USING SYKORA AWE AS A
AS A BASIS FOR ABOUT. OUR SECRET
DOES EXIST TO PROTECT THE
ENVIRONMENT BY ENSURING
CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN AS TO THE
IMPACT IT WILL HAVE ON THE
ENVIRONMENT. BEFORE APPROVAL OF
ANY NEW PROJECT IS AWARDED AND
WE CERTAINLY HAVE SUPPORTIVE OUT
OVER MANY MANY YEARS. HOWEVER
RECENT STUDY SHOWED THAT ABOUT
HALF OF SEQUEL LAWSUITS ARE ON
TAXPAYER PROJECTS WITH NO
BUSINESS INTERESTS. ARE STARTING
MY PUBLIC SERVICE AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL I FULLY SUPPORT PUTTING
THE ENVIRONMENT FIRST WE DO
ABOUT IS THE NEWLY INCORPORATED
CITY AND. ARE IN LAGUNA GAIL
MANY YEARS AGO IT WAS ON A BIG
ISSUE ENSURING THAT THE
ENVIRONMENT THERE THAT WE HAD.
HELD SO DEARLY WOULD BE
PROTECTED AS DEVELOPERS WERE
LOOKING OUT ON AN UNINCORPORATED
AREA. AND ARE CERTAINLY A LOT OF
OUR AREA TO BE DEVELOPED SO WE
STRONGLY SUPPORTED THAT WE
CREATED AN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
COMMITTEE WITHIN THE CITY OF LA
GONNA GO AT THAT TIME. AND THEY
HAD FIRST JOB PICK ON THE
DEVELOPMENT IN THE HALL BEFORE
IT WAS APPROVED TO PUT FORTH ANY
CONCERNS THAT OUR RESIDENTS HAVE
SO. WE HAVE BASICALLY SUPPORTED
THE AGA SEQUEL PROCESS OVER MANY
YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN INVOLVED I
AT LOCAL GOVERNMENT BUT WE
MUST ALSO LIMIT THE ABUSE THAT
IS. OCCURRED IN FRIVOLOUS
LAWSUITS ARE FILINGS UNDER THE
SEQUEL PROCESS AND WE ALL HAVE
SEEN THOSE OVER THE YEARS ALSO.
MANY LITIGANTS HAVE NO NEXUS TO
A PROJECT ON FILING LAWSUITS AND
TO BELIEVE. TYPICALLY FILE A
KITCHEN SINK COMPLAINT THAT DO
NOTHING MORE THAN SLOW DOWN AN
APPROVAL PROCESS PROVIDING A
BASIS FOR A JUDGE TO SET ASIDE.
ANOTHER PROJECT. OVER MANY YEARS
IN MANY CASES SP TEN FIFTY TWO
IS NEEDED TO ENSURE MORE
TRANSPARENCY IN THE PROCESS
WHILE STILL UPHOLDING THE
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS. WELL
IT HOWEVER WELL INTENTIONED.
THE SEQUEL PROCESS CAN FAIL WHEN
EVEN THE SMALLEST IT YOU KNOW
IRRELEVANT LAWSUITS WITHOUT YOUR
MOTIVES CAN DELAY OR STOP THE
BUILDING OF HOMES OR BUSINESSES
IN OUR COMMUNITY. YES BE TEN
FIFTY TWO WILL PREVENT THOSE WHO
SEEK AN UNFAIR BUSINESS
COMPETITION ADVANTAGE OR HAVE
THOSE OLD TERRIER MOTIVES FROM
IMPROPERLY HIDING BEHIND SEE
COULD TO BLOCK A PROJECT THROUGH
LITIGATION. I HAVE WITH ME TODAY
CHRIS BUTTER ON ENVIRONMENTAL
LAW ATTORNEY WITH THE THOMAS LAW

TESTIFY IN SUPPORT IN ANSWER ANY
TECHNICAL QUESTIONS YOU MAY
HAVE.
IN ADDITION I HAVE SPEED TEN

DIEGO COUNTY SAN DIEGO COUNTY
DISTRICT FIVE SUPERVISOR BILL

OF COMMERCE AND THE CALIFORNIA

LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR QUESTIONS
AND OPT OUT THE PROPER TIME I'LL
ASK FOR IT I DON'T. THINK YOU.
PLEASE FIRST WITNESS. THANK YOU
CHRIS BUTCHER THOMAS LA GROUP
I'VE BEEN A SEQUIN LAND USE
ATTORNEY FOR APPROXIMATELY TEN
YEARS. I'D LIKE TO BEGIN BY
SAYING WHAT THIS BILL DOES NOT
DO THIS BILL DOES NOT REQUIRE
DISCLOSURE OF MEMBERS OF SIERRA
CLUB OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT
HAVE A REGISTERED TAX ID. THIS
BILL IS NARROW IT REQUIRES
DISCLOSURE OF AD HOC GROUPS THIS
IS ABOUT TRANSPARENCY IN MY
YEARS OF PRACTICE I'VE
EXPERIENCED NUMBERS OF
LITIGATION LAWSUITS FILED BY AD
HOC GROUPS. THAT ULTIMATELY HAVE
BEEN SETTLED BY FOR NOTHING BUT
A CASH PAYMENT THIS DOES NOT
DISCLOSING THE MEMBERS OF THE
GROUP MAY REDUCE THOSE LAWSUITS.
WE DO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT A LOT
ABOUT HOW GROUPS DO ADVANCE
ENVIRONMENT OBJECTIVES AND THAT
IS THEIR TRUE PURPOSE BUT THOSE
GROUPS WILL NOT BE PREVENTED
FROM FILING LAWSUITS UNDER SB
TEN FIFTY TWO. AND IN FACT TODAY
MANY LOSSES ARE ALREADY FILED BY
INDIVIDUAL PETITIONERS
INDIVIDUAL NAMED PETITIONERS.
THEREFORE WE DON'T BELIEVE
THERE'S ANY REASON THIS BILL
WOULD DISCOURAGE AN AD HOC GROUP
OR A NAME TO PETITIONER FROM
CONTINUING FORWARD WITH A.
LAWSUIT TO ADVANCE AN
ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE.
.
MOREOVER UNDER EXISTING LAW. A
REAL PARTY OR A RESPONDENT CAN
ALREADY TRIED TO FIND OUT THE
IDENTITY OF AN AD HOC GROUPS
MEMBERS. MOST RECENTLY IN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN INCREASE TWENTY ONE
VERSUS THE CITY OF BALTIMORE.
THE REAL PARTY PURSUED THROUGH.
THE CIVIL. CIVIL DISCOVERY
PROCESS TO DETERMINE THE
IDENTITY OF THE.
MEMBERS OF CREED CREED REFUSED
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DISCOVERY
PROCESS AND THE SEQUEL LAWSUIT
WAS DISMISSED IN THAT CASE THE
REAL PARTY WAS A LARGE
CORPORATION THAT CAN AFFORD THE
EXPENSIVE PROCESS OF THAT
THROUGH DISCOVERY. A LOT OF SICK
LAWSUITS ARE FILED AGAINST SMALL
BUSINESSES AND PUBLIC AGENCIES
THAT CAN'T AFFORD THE PROCESS TO
GO THROUGH THIS DISCOVERY. THERE
FOR THE THE MAIN INTENT OF THIS
BILL IS TO MAKE IT MORE
AFFORDABLE TO FIND OUT THE TRUE
IDENTITY OF AN AD HOC GROUP AND
THAT I LASTLY WANT TO NOTE THAT.
THERE IS A CHECK AND BALANCE
INCLUDED IN SB TEN FIFTY TWO
SPECIFICALLY A TRIAL COURT CAN
DETERMINE WHETHER IT'S FOR
PRIVACY. AND FREEDOM OF
ASSOCIATION OR OTHER REASONS
THAT IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE TO
DISCLOSE THE MEMBERS OF AN AD
HOC GROUP IN A SPECIFIC. CASE
THEREFORE WE BELIEVE THAT THE
BILL IS NARROW AND SERVES AN
IMPORTANT PURPOSE AND WOULD URGE
THAT THE COMMITTEE MOVE IT
FORWARD STAFF REPORT TALKS AND
PAGE FOR ABOUT WHAT STANDARD
THAT THE COURT WOULD. WOULD
DETERMINE AND I PRESUME THIS PRE
TRIAL MOTION TO DETERMINE
WHETHER IT'S. VALID
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES OR.
FOR BULLISHNESS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON
THE STANDARD YEAH THE BASIS OF
DETERMINING WHETHER DISCLOSE THE
MEMBERS IDENTITIES WOULD NOT
HAVE TO DO WITH THE
ENVIRONMENTAL BECAUSE IT WOULD
HAVE TO DO WITH IF THEY ADVANCED
A REASONABLE. ASSOCIATION BASIS
OR OTHERWISE THAT IS
EXHAUSTIVELY ADDRESSED AN
EXISTING STATE AND FEDERAL LAW
TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY SHOULD
OR SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DISCLOSE
THEIR IDENTITIES SO I THINK. I
THINK THERE'S. SIGNIFICANT
GUIDANCE OUT THERE ALREADY IN
OTHER AREAS OF LAW.
OTHERS IN SUPPORT OF SBAT TEN
FIFTY TWO DESCRIBED ACCURATELY
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HERE IN
SUPPORT.
I THINK AS WE CAN DO TO JUST TO
BE BRIEF.
IS A COMMON SENSE BILL IT
REQUIRES THAT IF YOUR GOING TO
BRING A CIVIL LITIGATION THAT
YOU DISCLOSE. WHO YOU ARE AND
WHO YOU REPRESENT NO DIFFERENT
THAN ANYONE ADVOCATING A
POSITION HERE? I DISCLOSE WHO I
AM AND WHO I REPRESENT AND THAT
NEXUS IS IMPORTANT. FOR
PRESERVING SEEK WAS INTENT WHICH
IS TO PROMOTE PUBLIC
TRANSPARENCY PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION ENVIRONMENTAL
BENEFITS AND THAT'S WHAT THIS
BILL DOES IT DOES NOT WATERED
DOWN SEQUEL A. IT DOES NOT
CHANGE ANY OF THE STANDARDS
UNDER SEEK WERE MERELY REQUIRES
YOU TO DISCLOSE WHO YOU ARE.
THAT'S AS BETWEEN FIFTY TWO
THANK YOU.
OUR GUESTS STAFF REPORT TALKS
AGAIN ON PAGE FOUR ABOUT SOME
DISINCENTIVE SOME CHILLING
SOME. SOME. AD HOC.
HOMESPUN ADVOCATES THAT WANT TO
BE PARTICIPATE IN THAT.
IN THAT IT'S YOU KNOW.
THE WHO FOCUSING IN ON THE
HOOVER RATHER THAN THE WHAT.
DO YOU ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT
THAT POTENTIAL. CHILL.
I DON'T THINK IT'S ANY MORE
CHILLING THAN.
MR TODAY DISCLOSING WHO I AM WHO
I REPRESENT IF IF I FILE CIVIL
LAWSUIT AND TELLING THE COURT
AND THE PUBLIC WHO I REPRESENT
HAS A CHILLING EFFECT.
THEN I WOULD QUESTION WHAT THE
MERIT OF THIS LAWSUIT IS IN THE
FIRST PLACE WHAT ABOUT FOR THE
DEFENDANTS THE DEFENDANTS ARE
NOW FOCUSING ON THE WHO. RATHER
THAN THE WHAT IS WHAT IS THAT
WHAT IS THE BASIS OF THE YOU
KNOW CHALLENGE TO THAT.
TO TO THE PROJECT.
THE WHO IS ALREADY AN IMPORTANT
PART OF SEQUEL LITIGATION
BECAUSE.
IN ENTITLEMENT TO ATTORNEYS
FEES AS A POTENTIAL PART OF ANY
SINGLE ACTION BUT YOU'RE ONLY
ENTITLED TO ATTORNEYS FEES UNDER
CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES THE
KNOWING WHO THE WHO IS. IS
IMPORTANT PART OF THE COURT
DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT.
YOU'RE ENTITLED TO TRACY'S AT
THE END OF THE PROCESS SO TO ME
THIS BILL ISN'T ABOUT THE WHO
IT'S ABOUT WHEN YOU GET TO FIND
OUT THE WHO AND HOW MUCH MONEY
YOU HAVE TO SPEND TO FIND OUT
WHO.
OTHERS IN SUPPORT OF SB TEN
FIFTY TO MAKE YOUR COULD I ASK A
QUESTION SHORTEN YOUR INSTRUCTOR
THING CENTER PLAYING VERY WELL.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A GOOD IDEA
TO GET IT GOING TO GET A LOT OF
GOOD GOOD THINGS. YOU MENTION
THAT THE YOU KNOW WHY YOU HAVE
TO DISCLOSE HERE WHO YOU ARE AND
AND WHO YOU REPRESENT AND I
THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE
THIS IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
DYNAMIC IN A DIFFERENT. VENUE
THAN A THAN A COURT OF LAW. MEAN
YOUR PRESENCE AND AND WHO YOU
REPRESENT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE
THIS IS THE POLITICAL
ENVIRONMENT AS WELL AS A. LEGAL
ENVIRONMENT A FACTUAL
ENVIRONMENT AND AND EVERYTHING
ELSE BUT IT'S A IT'S AS MUCH
POLITICAL AS IT IS ANYTHING AND
AND WE WANT TO KNOW. YOU KNOW
WHETHER YOU'RE BEING PAID JUST
TO SAY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING OR IF
YOU'RE A.
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND HOW IT'S
INFLUENCED IN THAT CASE BUT IN A
IN A LEGAL SETTING? I TRYING TO
GRASP WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WOULD
MAKE AS TO WHO.
EDDIE WHO WHO'S PAYING FOR THE
THE. THE LAWSUIT OR WHO'S BEHIND
IT IN THAT SENSE BECAUSE IT
BECOMES EXTREMELY LEGAL QUESTION
AND A JUDGE SHOULD NOT NEED TO.
BE CONCERNED WITH WHO'S PAYING
FOR THIS WHY HIS CONCERN IS THE
LEGAL ASPECT OF IT AND A AND THE
FACT BASED ON THE LAW. A SO I
GUESS THAT'S THE THE QUESTION.
FROM FOR ME ANYWAYS WHAT WHAT IS
THE DIFFERENCE WITH THAT AND HOW
DOES IT APPLY IN. IN THERE ONLY
A FEW INSTANCES OF PEOPLE WHO
ARE GENERALLY. EITHER OPPOSE YOU
YOU KNOW NEIGHBORS OR THE
NEIGHBORS LABOR ENVIRONMENT OR
OR SOME COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
SOMEONE'S LOOKING AT ARE USUALLY
THE. THE THE POINT IS IN THOSE
CASES ARE THE PEOPLE PUSHING SO
IF YOU COULD. ANSWER THAT I'D
APPRECIATE IT. YEAH.
.
WELL FIRST FROM MY EXPERIENCE
KNOWING WHO THE OTHER PARTIES
ARE IS A CRITICAL PART OF
SETTLEMENT WHICH SETTLEMENT IS
ALREADY STRONGLY ENCOURAGED BY
SEQUIN BY THE RULES OF COURT
GENERALLY. BUT WHEN YOU DON'T
KNOW WHO YOU'RE NEGOTIATING WITH
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO REACH A
SETTLEMENT AND WE ARE ONE PRIME
EXAMPLE OF THIS IS.
IN THE NEW HALL RANCH
LITIGATION RECENTLY WE WERE ABLE
TO REACH A SETTLEMENT WITH DVD
BECAUSE THEY ARE A KNOWN
ENVIRONMENTAL ENTITY AND WE WERE
ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY.
WANTED THERE IS STILL AN AD HOC
GROUP THAT IS LITIGATING AND WE
DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND THAT
MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO NEGOTIATE
WITH THEM SO THAT'S ONE
IMPORTANT REASON. TO KNOW. WHO
THEY ARE?
OKAY MANY GROUPS. AND SECONDLY.
AGAIN DURING THE ATTORNEY'S FEES
ASPECT OF CIVIL LITIGATION THE
WHO IS REQUIRED TO TO BE KNOWN
IN ORDER TO ASSESS WHETHER
ATTORNEY'S FEES SHOULD BE OWED
OR NOT. BECAUSE IF YOU DO HAVE A
BUSINESS.
INCENTIVE FOR FILING THE
LAWSUIT THERE IS A REASON TO
REDUCE OR ELIMINATE ATTORNEYS'
FEES.
GREAT THANK YOU.
OTHERS IN SUPPORT OF SB AT TEN
FIFTY TWO THE MORNING SILVIO
FIRM HAVE THE CALIFORNIA
BUILDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION
SUPPORT.
YEAH WE GATHERED WITH THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS AND SUPPORT.
MATTHEW HARD WITH THE CALIFORNIA
BUSINESS PROPERTIES ASSOCIATION
IN SUPPORT.
OKAY.
THOSE OPPOSED TO S. B..
TEN FIFTY TWO ANYBODY SUPPOSED
PLEASE COME FORWARD.
GOOD MORNING CARL JONES IS THE
ACTUAL CALIFORNIA POSTED THIS
MEASURE TODAY WE WORRY THAT BY
EXPOSING THE IDENTITY OF AD HOC
GROUPS FORM TO PROTECT THEIR
COMMUNITIES. ODD YOU OPEN THEM
UP TO INTIMIDATION OUR OTHER
COERCION COURSE OF MEANS TO DROP
THEIR ACTIONS.
.
ACTIONS FILED IN THE CALIFORNIA
BAR MENTAL QUALITY ACTOR DONEIN
THE PUBLIC INTEREST TO MAKE SURE
THAT THERE'S BEEN PROPER
DISCLOSURE OF ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACTS MITIGATION. OF THOSE
IMPACTS.
AND AND PROPER PUBLIC PROCESS
IS FOLLOWED.
AND SO IN IN REALITY THE
IDENTITY OF THE PARTY SHOULDN'T
MATTER BECAUSE THEY'RE ENFORCING
THE LAW ON BEHALF OF THE PUBLIC.
EYE AS AS WITNESSES NOTED THE
COURTS HAVE BEEN RECENTLY LOOKED
AT WAYS TO OPEN UP DISCOVERY
POSSIBLY IF THERE IS INSTANCES
OF ABUSE. ARM AND THAT'S KIND OF
A NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT'S
HAPPENING AND AND AND YOU KNOW
WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE WATCHING HOW
THIS GOING BUT THERE ARE
JUDICIAL REMEDIES FOR SOME OF
THE THE WORST INSTANCES IF THOSE
ARE TO OCCUR.
.
WHAT WE WORRY ABOUT AGAIN IS IF
YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE YOU
MAY HAVE A VERY POLITICALLY?
POPULAR PROJECT MAYBE BRINGING A
LOT OF JOBS OR YOU KNOW
BUSINESSES THAT PEOPLE LIKE INTO
A COMMUNITY THAT HAS FAILED TO
DO MITIGATION AND PEOPLE ARE
UPSET ABOUT THAT AND WANTING TO
SEE YOU. ODD THEY HAVE GOOD
REASON TO NOT WANT T HAVE THEIR
NAMES OUT THERE.
THEY COULD GET DRIVE TO THE
MIND BY THEIR NEIGHBORS.
IT COULD BECOME A VERY HOSTILE
PROCESS IN THE COMMUNITY. AND SO
WE REALLY WANT TO PROTECT THE
RIGHTS OF PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO
ORGANIZE AND STILL ENFORCE THE
LAW AND PROTECT THEMSELVES OUT
WHERE THERE MIGHT BE VIOLATIONS
OF THE OF THE CALIFORNIA VARMINT
QUALITY ACT.
SO YOU'RE SUGGESTING THAT THIS
RESTRAINT ON FREEDOM OF
ASSOCIATION IS REAL ALTHOUGH THE
AUTHOR AND THE WITNESS WAS
SAYING THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO
DISCLOSE EVERY MEMBER OF THE
SIERRA CLUB ALTHOUGH. YOU HAVE
TO DISCLOSE IT REMEMBER THE
CHAMBER NET HAS SYSTEM. LIKE NO
NOT NOT AND NOT THAT NOT FOR THE
SIERRA CLUB BUT.
YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT JUST WORRIED
ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO TO MAINTAIN
ACTIONS BUT WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE ON THE
GROUND COULD STILL FORM. THEIR
LOCAL IN IN THEIR COMMUNITIES
INFORM ACTIONS BECAUSE
ULTIMATELY IF IF THAT DOES
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT THAT'S
THAT'S GOOD FOR US AS WELL. I
EVEN IF WE'RE NOT PARTIES TO
THAT SIR. OKAY.
OTHERS ARE IN OPPOSITION THE TEN
FIFTY TWO.
MR MEMBERS AS EARLY AS ON BEHALF
OF THE STATE BUILDING
CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL. OUR
THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF FOR THE
VERY THOROUGH ANALYSIS THIS BILL
HAS BEEN SAID BEFORE AND HAD
BEEN REJECTED BEFORE.
BECAUSE OF THE REASONS I WAS
STATED BY THE SIERRA CLUB IT
DOES HAVE A CHILLING EFFECT. AND
IT PUTS THE PETITIONERS ON TRIAL
INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY ENCOURAGE
MORE COMPLIANCE WITH ACTUAL
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY I'VE BEEN
LOOKING AT THE LAW. IN ALL OF
ITS PROVISIONS ARE ALREADY ALLOW
FOR THE DEFENDANTS TO WEIGH IN
AND BASICALLY DEFEND THE
PROJECTS SO FOR THOSE REASONS WE
URGE YOUR NOTEBOOK.
OKAY LET'S CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING. WE'VE HAD SOME.
INTERACTION QUESTIONS.
SURE CENTERS AREN'T.
THANK YOU MISTER.
.
THANK YOU CENTER BAITS FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD I I JUST I
HAD A QUESTION I THINK FOR YOUR.
ATTORNEY.
PRECEDENT ON THIS KIND OF
DISCLOSURE IN OTHER AREAS OF LAW
WE'RE FOCUSED ON C. QUIT TODAY
EVERYONE LIKES TO TALK ABOUT HOW
TO SEEK WHAT. IS BROKEN AND
NEEDS ALL THIS SPECIAL ATTENTION
I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT PREMISE
BUT.
DOES THIS KIND OF DISCLOSURE
PROVISION EXIST ANYWHERE ELSE IN
THE.
IS.
IN ANY OTHER AREA OF LAW THAT
HAS THE SAME KIND OF CITIZEN'S
SUIT.
PROVISION.
WELL THE THE COMMITTEE REPORT
MENTIONED NOT AND DOUBLE ACP
VERSUS ALABAMA WHICH IS YOU KNOW
SIXTY YEAR OLD CASE. IN WHICH
THEY DID DETERMINE THAT. THIS
DEVELOPMENT COULD NOT GET THE
NAMES OF THE PEOPLE IN THE DUB
DONE AND WAC P. SINCE THAT CASE
IS. DECIDED OBVIOUSLY MANY CASES
HAVE ALSO COME OUT I'M IN TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT SUMMERS VERSES
EARTH ISLAND INSTITUTE THE US
SUPREME COURT AGAIN CONSIDER
THIS ISSUE THIS TIME IN THE
CONTEXT OF ENVIRONMENTAL
LITIGATION. AND IN THAT CONTEXT
THE COURT STATED AND I QUOTE THE
COURT HAS REQUIRED PLAINTIFFS
CLAIMING AN ORGANIZATIONAL
STANDING TO IDENTIFY MEMBERS WHO
HAVE SUFFERED THE REQUISITE
HARM.
TO PURSUE THE ENVIRONMENT
CHALLENGE SO.
WHILE IN WAC P. ADVANCES AN
IMPORTANT POINT IN THE CONTEXT
OF ENVIRONMENT LITIGATION EVEN
THE US SUPREME COURT HAS BEEN
HAS MADE CLEAR THAT IDENTIFYING
MEMBERS OF A GROUP. MAY BE
APPROPRIATE AND THAT'S WHAT THIS
BILL DOES AND THE. IDEA OF.
IN CONSIDERATION OF THESE CASES
AND OTHERS WHETHER THE NAME
SHOULD BE DISCLOSED WE LEAVE THE
PROPOSAL MAY BE CONSTITUTIONAL
BUT I'M ACTUALLY MAKE CALIFORNIA
CODE. YOU'RE ANYWHERE ELSE IN
THE CALIFORNIA CODE THAT WE
REQUIRE DISCLOSURE LIKE THIS OF
ANY OTHER TYPES OF PLAINTIFFS
OUT THERE.
.
I CAN'T THINK OF ONE OF THE TOP
MEN I KNOW JUST SEEMS TO ME LIKE
IF YOU'RE GONNA IS STARTED.
CHIP AWAY AT SORT OF THE OVERALL
FUNDING PARADIGM FOR LITIGATION
IN THIS STATE. EAT.
IT'S IT'S OUT IT FEELS A LITTLE
ARBITRARY TO ME JUST A PIXIE
QUOTA AMONG ALL THE SO ANYWAY
THAT THAT'S MY CONCERN ABOUT THE
BILL JUST JUST. TO.
TO NARROW OF A FOCUS HERE IF IF
YOU'RE TRYING TO SOLVE SOME
OTHER ISSUE AROUND LITIGATION IN
THIS STATE SO I MEAN I'D. I'D
LOOK FORWARD IN THE FUTURE IF
THE IF THE BILL MOVES THROUGH
TODAY I'D LOOK FOR TO JUST
HEARING MORE FEEDBACK ON THAT
TOPIC GENUINELY HOODS AND. THANK
YOU FOR THE INDULGENCE VICE
CHAIR STONE FAQ THE BACK IN THE
FOLLOW UP WITH THE ATTORNEY IS
IS VERY.
.
A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO FILE A
LAWSUIT UNDER AN ANONYMOUS NAME
NO. OKAY AND AND I THINK THAT'S
CODIFIED AND.
DOLE VERSUS MCKESSON IS AS THE
ULTIMATE TEST FOR COMMITTING A
PLAINTIFF TO PROCEED ANONYMOUSLY
IS WHETHER THE PLAINTIFF HAS A
SUBSTANTIAL PRIVACY RIGHT THAT
OUTWEIGHS THE CUSTOMER IN
CONSTITUTIONALLY EMBEDDED
PRESUMPTION. OF OPENNESS AND
JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS OF THEM IN
THIS BE MORE TRANSPARENT YOU
SAID YOU HAD THE ISSUE OF
ATTORNEY FEES IF. THERE'S GONNA
BE AN AWARD OF ATTORNEY'S FEES
NEED TO KNOW WHO THE OTHER PARTY
IS THAT CORRECT CRACKED OKAY SO
I WANT TO APPLAUD THE AUTHOR
FOR.
TRYING ONCE AGAIN JUST BECAUSE
THIS BILL BEFORE DOESN'T MEAN IT
DOESN'T MAKE A RIGHT TO BRING
FORWARD AGAIN I APPRECIATE THAT
YOU HAVE BROUGHT A FORD I THINK
IT DOES PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY IN
A. IN A STATE WHERE.
WE SEE SIGNIFICANT LITIGATION.
IN THE SEQUEL ARENA.
.
SOMEBODY JUSTIFIED IN AND SOME
OF IT IS NOT AND AND I GUESS IN
A WAY OF PROVIDING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND OTHER IMPORTANT
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN THE
STATE AND FOR THOSE REASONS I
LIKE TO MOVE YOUR BILL.
RIGHT CENTER BASE HAVE A MOTION.
TO CLOSE.
YEAH I JUST WANTED TO MAKE IT
CLEAR TO THE COMMITTEE ON THE NO
I AM NOT. A VERY STRONG
SUPPORTER OF SYKORA IN ITS
PROCESS AND WE USED IT I THINK
I'M INCREDIBLY WELL WHEN WE SET
UP THE ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION
BANK FOR TRANSPORTATION IN
ORANGE COUNTY. SO THIS IS NOT
SOMETHING WHERE YOU KNOW I'M
CHALLENGING SEEK WORK FOR THE
WRONG REASONS I FEEL THAT FOR
THE VERY RIGHT RESIGN AND I WILL
SHARE WITH YOU I THINK WE ALL
COME UP HERE TO REPRESENT
PEOPLE.
WHEN I HIGH TAILED TO A ROUND
TABLE ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WE
HAD A CROSS SECTION OF
PARTICIPATION WE HAD OVER A
HUNDRED PEOPLE THERE. WE HAVE
THE BUILDING INDUSTRY WE HAVE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT WE HAVE
RESIDENTS.
EVERYONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE
WAY SEEK WAYS USE ON BOTH SIDES
OF THIS ISSUE. AND WHAT WAS VERY
COMPELLING TO ME AND THE REASON
I BRING IT FORWARD THEY ALL
TALKED ABOUT GROUPS FROM NO
WHERE. THE FRIENDS OF THE BIRDS
OF ALABAMA COMING FORWARD AND
FILING A LAWSUIT FOR REASONS
THAT WERE REALLY OLD HERE YOUR
MOTIVES ODD TO STOP A PROJECT OR
HAVE FOUND MY.
WITNESSES SAID TO GET A BETTER
SETTLEMENT MONETARILY FOR
SOMETHING THEY WANTED A BUSINESS
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE STOPPING A
PROJECT BECAUSE I'VE GOT A
BETTER ONE OVER HERE. SO I THINK
WE NEED TO WHILE THIS MAY NOT
SURVIVE TODAY I REALLY THINK WE
HAVE TO LOOK LONG AND HARD ABOUT
DOING SOMETHING ABOUT SEAQUEST
SO THAT WE PROTECT OBVIOUS
ORIGINAL INTENT. I WANT YOU GUYS
TO KNOW I'M OLD ENOUGH TO
REMEMBER WHEN IT STARTED. I
DON'T THINK YOU WERE BORN.
IF WE HAD HAD A VERY VERY NOBLE
PURPOSE AND IT IS DONE GREAT
THINGS BUT. WHEN PEOPLE START TO
USE IT THAT HARMS ARE THE WILL
OF THE PEOPLE AND THAT IS WHAT
IS GOING ON. THEN WE ALL NEED TO
STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING FOR
pTHAT'S WHY I PUT IT BEFORE YOU
AGAIN TODAY. OUT WE'LL HAVE MORE
DISCUSSIONS ABOUT IT BUT I DO
THINK WE HAVE TO START TO ACCEPT
THE FACT. THAT SEQUEL IT NEEDS A
LONG HARD LOOK AND WE NEED TO
BOLSTER IT SO IT IS DOING THE
RIGHT THING ESPECIALLY AS WE SEE
WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. OUR NATURAL
RESOURCES THAT RISK IN THE
AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY THEY'RE
AT RISK EVERYWHERE OUR OCEANS SO
WE HAVE TO ELEVATED IN TERMS OF
THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE. IN NOT
SEE MANY AS A DEMON ARE THAT
STOPPING THE THINGS THAT WE NEED
BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T BE USED
THAT WAY FILL. THAT SLOT THAT'S
HOW I.
HOPEFULLY IMPLORE YOU TODAY TO
SUPPORT IT WE CAN CONTINUE
WORKING ON IT. ARE TO ME IT'S A
COMPELLING ISSUE AND ONE THAT
SOLVES A LOT OF PROBLEMS IF WE
GET IT RIGHT AND WE NEED TO GET
IT RIGHT.
WITH THAT I ASKED FOR AN IDOL
ALRIGHT PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

TRACT. BUT WHO ATTEND SCHOOL IN

CREATES A REGIONAL CLIMATE
COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM TO EMPOWER
UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES ACROSS
THE STATE TO PARTICIPATE IN
CLIMATE CHANGE PROGRAMS. AND
ACHIEVE TANGIBLE SUCCESS TOWARDS
HEALTHY HEALTHIER COMMUNITIES.
EACH YEAR THE STATE RECEIVES
LARGE REVENUES FROM A VARIETY OF
SOURCES TO COMBAT POLLUTION AND
CLEAN OUR AIR. THESE MONIES ARE
DISTRIBUTED TO VARIOUS AGENCIES
AND PROGRAMS TO HELP MEET ARE
IMPORTANT GIGI G. H. G.
REDUCTION GOALS HOWEVER WE HAVE
CREATED A CLEAR POLICY DILEMMA
FOR THE UNDER SERVED COMMUNITIES
AND ORGANIZATIONS. THAT SERVE
THEM ALTHOUGH WE EARMARK
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES THESE
VERY PLACES ARE STRUGGLING TO
ACCESS THESE DOLLARS THEREBY
COMPROMISING OUR CLIMATE ACTION
GOALS WITHOUT LARGE BUDGET
BUDGETS AND STAFF. FOR OUTREACH
OR GRANT WRITING FINDING AND
APPLYING TO PROGRAMS IS A
DAUNTING AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE
TASK NOT TO MENTION THE
DIFFICULTY OF ACTUALLY BEING
AWARDED FUNDS WITHIN OUR
COMPETITIVE GRANT SYSTEM.
CURRENTLY THERE IS NO LOCAL
STRUCTURE IN THIS SPACE
DEDICATED TO PROVIDING TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE AND CAPACITY BUILDING
TO UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. AS
YOU KNOW CALIFORNIA IS HOME TO
SOME OF THE WORST AIR QUALITY IN
THE NATION. SADLY THAT INCLUDES
AN AREA THAT I AM VERY PROUD TO
REPRESENT THE INLAND EMPIRE
WHICH IS HEAVILY TRAVEL A
HEAVILY TRAVELED CORRIDOR FOR
TAKING GOODS FROM THE PORT OF
LONG BEACH. TO THE REST OF THE
NATION. UNFORTUNATELY MANY OF
OUR STATES MOST POLLUTED AREAS
HAVE HIGHER RTES OF POVERTY AND
HIGHER INCIDENCES OF ASTHMA AND
CANCER.
AS WE TEN SEVENTY TWO RESPONSE
TO THE URGENT NEED TO ALIGN OUR
CLIMATE PROGRAMS WITH TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE AND LOCAL
ORGANIZATIONS TO MEET THE NEEDS
OF THOSE MOST IMPACTED.
SPECIFICALLY THIS BILL
AUTHORIZES THE STRATEGIC GROWTH
COUNCIL TO ADMINISTER THE
REGIONAL CLIMATE COLLABORATIVE
PROGRAM. THESE COLLABORATIVE
WILL PROVIDE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE AND CAPACITY BUILDING
TO CREATE THE SUPPORT OUR
COMMUNITIES AND CITIES NEED TO
MITIGATE THE IMPACTS OF POOR IR
QUALITY. WE KNOW THAT PROVIDING
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND
BUILDING LOCAL COALITIONS
ACTUALLY WORKS. IN THE CITY OF
ONTARIO WE CAME TOGETHER AS A
REGION TO APPLY FOR A
TRANSFORMATIVE CLIMBING
COMMUNITIES GRANT. AFTER NEARLY
A YEAR OF COLLABORATION AMONG
DIFFERENT GROUPS IN THE REGION
THE CITY OF ONTARIO WAS AWARDED
THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS FOR
URBAN GREENING AFFORDABLE

DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. WE
KNOW THE DEMAND FOR THIS

ADAPTATION CLEAN HOUSE BUT WE
NEED TO DO MORE A BROADER AND
DEEPER WORK WE STAND READY TO
WORK WITH YOU IN THE
ORGANIZATIONS NEARLY A HUNDRED
ORGANIZATIONS THAT I SIGNED ON
TO SUPPORT. THIS BILL.
OKAY GOOD MORNING EVERYONE MY
NAME IS EMMY WINNING WITH THE
GREEN LINING INSTITUTE WHERE CO
SPONSORS SB TEN SEVENTY TWO
ALONG WITH THE TRUST FOR PUBLIC
LAND. I MEAN I LIKE TO SPEND A
MINUTE TALKING ABOUT KIND OF THE
BILL CONCEPT I'VE BEEN CALLING
THE BILL CONCEPT A THREE LAYER
CAKES I'D LOVE TO GO OVER THE
THREE LAYERS OF THAT. ON THE
FIRST IS LOCAL CAPACITY BUILDING
THROUGH THE REGIONAL CLIMATE
COLLABORATIVE AS WE SEE THE
RACIAL CLIMATE COLLABORATIVE AS
KIND OF THE BACKBONE LOCAL
ENTITY. WHO ARE THERE TO PROVIDE
ACTIVITIES SUCH AS OUTREACH AND
EDUCATION OUR PRODUCT
DEVELOPMENT IDEATION CREATION
PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND
RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT? WE SEE
THIS IN THE LOCAL CAPACITY
BUILDING WORK THAT HAS TO HAPPEN
ON THE GROUND IN COMMUNITIES.
BEFORE DISCRETE PROJECT IDEA IS
REALLY BROUGHT TO FRUITION. THE
SECOND LAYER OF THE CAKE IS WHAT
WE'RE CALLING ON THE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE ADMINISTERED BY THE
STATE. SO THIS JUST SAYS THAT
YOU KNOW ONCE A COMMUNITY COME
TOGETHER ON A DISCRETE PROJECT
IDEA MANY COMMUNITIES STILL
STRUGGLE WITH SOME OF THE
TECHNICAL KNOW HOW. ON THAT'S
REQUIRED FOR A LOT OF THESE
COMPETITIVE GRANT APPLICATIONS
THE TANZANIAN TO MANDATES THAT
ON A STATE AT THAT CLIMATE GRAPH
PROGRAMS THAT HAVE A TARGETED.
FUNDING SET ASIDE FOR
DISADVANTAGED IN LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES AND RESEARCH
COMMUNITIES. THAT THOSE. THOSE
GRANT PROGRAMS OFFER TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE AS PART OF THE
PROVISION OF THEIR OF THEIR
PROGRAM AND THIS WOULD COME OUT
OF THAT PORTION OF THEIR OF THE
PROGRAM ALLOCATION.
THIRD LAYER IS WHAT WE'RE
CALLING STANDARDIZATION
COORDINATION AND ALIGNMENT.
THE REPORT THAT FERNANDO
REFERRED TO EARLIER AND THAT IF
YOU SEE DAVIS AROUND THE
PORTABLE HOUSING CITADEL
SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM.
ON THAT REPORT ALSO NOTES THAT A
LACK OF COORDINATION AMONG TA
PROVIDERS AND WITH THE STATE
REALLY HINDERS THE EFFECT AND
EFFECTIVENESS OF TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE. AND SO ON ARBIL
IDENTIFIES THE CITY TO CO
COUNSEL TO OFFER ESSENTIALLY A
GUIDELINES DOCUMENT AN OVERSIGHT
AROUND HOW TO BUILD A ROAD TO
THE TOP. ON STANDARDIZING BOTH
LOCAL CAPACITY BUILDING FOR THE
REGIONAL CLIMATE CLLABORATIVE
AS WELL AS THE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE ADMINISTERED BY THE
STATE. LOUISE WE SEE THAT AS A
NOUN. BRINGING ADMINISTRATIVE
TOGETHER TO TO STANDARDIZE IN
COURT SO THAT ONE THING AS IN A
LIVER FOR HER LEADERSHIP IN
THERE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO WORK WITH THIS COMMITTEE.

COMMISSION APPROVED PGH REQUEST
TO RETIRE DIABLO CANYON BY
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE. BUT TO OUR
DISAPPOINTMENT THE PC DID NOT
APPROVE THE COMMUNITY IMPACT
MITIGATION PROGRAM OR FULLY FUND
THE EMPLOYEE RETENTION PROGRAMS.
THAT ARE VITAL COMPONENTS TO THE
SUCCESS OF THE PLANTS
RETIREMENT.
BOTH OF THESE PROGRAMS WILL
PROVIDE A BRIDGE TO OUR REGION
AS THE TRANSITION TO CLOSURE OF
DIABLO CANYON MOVES FORWARD.
SENATE BILL TEN NINETY
AUTHORIZES THE PC APPROVE
ELEMENTS OF THE JOINT PROPOSAL.
THAT WAS SUBMITTED AS PART OF
THE RETIREMENT APPLICATION
INCLUDING EIGHTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS REQUIRES FULL FUNDING OF
THE
EMPLOYEE RETENTION PROGRAM. AND
DIRECTS THE PC TO MANAGE ITS
INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLAN TO
ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO INCREASE
OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AS A
RESULT OF THE RETIREMENT.
A COMMUNITY HAS ASSUME THE
PUBLIC SAFETY RISK FOR THE PAST
THIRTY THREE YEARS WHILE ALL
PEACHY ANY CUSTOMERS HAVE
REALIZED THE BENEFITS OVER THE

TO BENEFIT. FOR THE SEVEN
REMAINING YEARS OF ENERGY

OF THE CHAIR YOU KNOW IT'S IT'S
IT'S FINE AND. JUST SO WE'RE
ONLY WORRIED ABOUT NOT RAISING

LIMITED.
LIMITED CHUNK OF THIS BILL SO
PLEASE ASSEMBLY MEMBER WELCOME
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR THANK YOU
MEMBERS IN THE INTERESTS OF TIME
AND I RESPECT FOR THE.
FULL DOCKET YOU HAVE TODAY I
WOULD JUST SIMPLY ECHO THE
SENATOR'S COMMENTS THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME AND I BELIEVE THIS IS.
A VERY IMPORTANT BILL FOR THE
STATE AND FOR OUR COMMUNITY
THANK YOU.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS GOT
WHICH OF AT THE CALIFORNIA
COALITION OF UTILITY EMPLOYEES
AND STATE ASSOCIATION. OF
ELECTRICAL WORKERS.
NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO.
WE REACHED A HISTORIC AGREEMENT
TO ALLOW.
THE DIABLO CANYON NUCLEAR POWER
STATION TO BE DE COMMISSION.
A WE FOR GO MANY DIFFERENT LEGAL
AVENUES TO WE HAD TO FIGHT TO
CONTINUE TO OPERATE.
THE THE PLANT BECAUSE WE HAD
COLLECTIVELY BARGAINED A
RETENTION AND SEVERANCE PACKAGE
FOR THE EMPLOYEES THERE.
WHICH IS VERY.
CUSTOMARY ANY SITUATIONS THIS
BILL WOULD UPHOLD THAT
COLLECTIVELY BARGAINED
AGREEMENT.
I THINK THE MEDIA ENVIRONMENTAL
ISSUE HERE MISTER CHAIRMAN FROM
OF THE LABOR PERSPECTIVE IS
THAT.
WHENEVER YOU DECOMMISSIONING
NUCLEAR FACILITY RETENTION
BONUSES.
ARE ESSENTIAL TO ENSURING THAT
IN THE SEVEN YEARS IS GOING TO
TAKE TO DECOMMISSION.
THAT THE PLANT IS CONTINUE TO
OPERATE IN A SAFE.
BUT AND SECURE MANNER.
WHAT HAPPENS IS NUCLEAR
OPERATORS LICENSE NUCLEAR
OPERATORS AND OTHER KEY
PERSONNEL ARE A VERY?
HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER GROUP
ESPECIALLY IF THEY'VE ALREADY
BEEN TRAINED AND HAVE A LOT OF
EXPERIENCE WE INVEST HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THESE
PERSONNEL.
SO HEAD HUNTERS IMMEDIATELY UPON
THE.
NOTICING OF THE DECOMMISSIONING
OF DIABOLO FROM POWER PLANTS
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY INCLUDING
SOME BETTER INCAN UNDER
CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW. HAVE
SWOOPEDDOWN AND ARE TRYING TO
LURE AWAY MY MEMBERS WHO NEED TO
FIND EMPLOYMENT THESE RETENTION
BONUSES IN BONUSES ARE
ABSOLUTELY KEY.
TO MAINTAIN THE SAFETY AND
SECURITY THAT FACILITY IN FACT
FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THAT A
DIABLO CANYON WOULD HAVE TO BE
SHUT DOWN.
IF AT ANYTIME THE NUMBER OF
LICENSED OPERATORS DIPS BELOW
WITH THE FEDERAL. A MINIMUM IS
THAT HAS SIGNIFICANT
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
BECAUSE IF YOU STOP OPERATING.
AND YOU LOSE THAT TWENTY TWO
HUNDRED MEGAWATTS OF ABASE LOW
POWER YOU CAN HAVE TO
IMMEDIATELY FILL THAT WITH GAS
FIRED POWER FOSSEL POWER IN
ORDER TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON THIS
SUMMER.
SO FOR THOSE REASONS WE WOULD
URGE AN AYE VOTE THANK YOU.
MISTER CHAIRMAN OTHER MEMBERS
VERY QUICKLY APOLLO EUROPE HAVE
THE SAN LUIS OBISPO BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS SPILLS VITAL TO THE
COUNTY AND ITS RESIDENTS. THE
COUNTY PROVIDES ROADS BRIDGES
DRAINAGE SYSTEMS LAW ENFORCEMENT
FIRE PROTECTION AND EMERGENCY
SERVICES TO THIS PLANET WILL
CONTINUE TO DO SO FOR THE
FORESEEABLE FUTURE. WANNA MAKE
SURE THAT THESE ORGANIZATIONS
CAN ACTUALLY SPEAK FOR
THEMSELVES BUT BECAUSE WE ARE IN
THE QUEUE COMMITTEE I ALSO WANT
TO NOTE. THIS BILL SUPPORTED BY
FRIENDS OF THE EARTH NASA
RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL IN THE
ALLIANCE FOR NUCLEAR
RESPONSIBILITY I JUST LITERATURE
BY AYE VOTE THANK YOU.
NEXT OF MISTER CHAIRMAN ON
FRANKLIN OF THE FORMER GENERAL
COUNSEL AT THE PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION I'M HERE TODAY ON
BEHALF OF FRIENDS OF THE EARTH
ONE OF THE SIGNATORIES TO THIS
LANDMARK. AGREEMENT WE CARE VERY
PASSIONATELY ABOUT NOT IS
RETIRING DIABLO CANYON. BUT
REPLACING IT WITH CLEAN
GREENHOUSE GAS FREE RESOURCES
IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO YEARS SINCE
THE AGREEMENT WAS REACHED.
TO DATE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION REGRETTABLY HAS NOT
DONE ANYTHING TOWARDS THE
REPLACEMENT EFFORT THERE'S
NOTHING LINED UP FOR REPLACING
DIABLO CANYON. WITH GREENHOUSE
GAS FREE RESOURCES AND SO WE'RE
LOOKING TO THIS COMMITTEE TO HIS
BODY OF FOR LEADERSHIP ON THIS
ISSUE SO WE PURCHASED AYE VOTE
ON THE LEGISLATION.
THANK YOU OTHER SINCE SUPPORT OF
OUR S. B. FIVE TEN NINETY THIS
IS.
THE.
EQ JURISDICTION TO MAKE SURE
THAT ANY GENERATION OF. OF
ENERGY AFTER THE CLOSING OF THIS
PLANT WILL BE.
SHE H. DE.
NEUTRAL OR NOT AN INCREASE YES
HEARING GONZALEZ WE TOWNSEND

CITY OF PISMO BEACH IN SUPPORT
OF THE BILL THINK YOU.
PROJECT ZERO CALIFORNIANS
SUPPORT.
THANK YOU ANDREA FALL ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS
ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT.
GENEVIEVE ABBOTT ON ON BEHALF OF
NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE
COUNCIL IN SUPPORT.
OKAY UP THOSE HIS
AND A POST.
TO ATTEND AYE.
WE NEED A COUPLE SPOTS LET THEM
COME FORWARD.
THANK YOU ARE MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS MATT FRIEDMAN.
I REPRESENT THE UTILITY REFORM
NETWORK OR WAIT HERE ADVOCACY
GROUP THAT HAS BEEN PRACTICING
IN FRONT OF THE PC FOR MORE THAN
FORTY YEARS. AND TURN WAS VERY
ACTIVE IN THE PC PROCEEDING ON
THAT RECENTLY RESOLVED WE WERE
NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THE JOINT
PROPOSAL THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY
MENTIONED WERE NOT INVOLVED IN
MANY OF THE NEGOTIATIONS THAT
LED TO THE PROPOSALS THAT ARE
NOW CONTAINED. IN THE BILL
THAT'S BEFORE YOU. ON THIS BILL
WOULD RAISE RATES BY
APPROXIMATELY TWO HUNDRED AND
TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS I
THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT
PEOPLE NEED TO KEEP IN MIND. ON
TO SUPPORT THE PROGRAMS ARE
IDENTIFIED IN THE BILL ARM WE
BELIEVE THE PC REACH THE CORRECT
DECISION ON THE DISPUTED ISSUES
AND WE DON'T SEE AN
ENVIRONMENTAL NEXUS BETWEEN THE
EMPLOYEE RETENTION BONUSES THAT
ARE MENTIONED
THE BILL. I'M AND THE NOTION
THAT THE PLANT COULD CLOSE
PREMATURELY IN FACT THE PC
APPROVED APPROXIMATELY TWO
THIRDS OF THE RETENTION BONUSES
THAT PGD ASKED FOR.
I GUESS I HAVE WANTED TO DON'T
BELABOR THIS BUT SINCE WE'RE THE
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY. COMMITTEE
WHAT WHAT I WOULD BE WORRIED
ABOUT IS IF FOR INSTANCE IF
BABBLE KENNY DID CLOSE EARLY
WOULD BE THE REPLACEMENT ENERGY
TECH WITH NOT INCREASE THE
GREENHOUSE GASES WERE WE'RE. IT
AND THAT'S
I DIDN'T.
THOSE SERVE ANOTHER COMMITTEE'S
JURISDICTION WORSE HERE TO FOCUS
ON THE AIR QUALITY IN THE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND
SAYING YOU KNOW AGAIN IF IT
CLOSED EARLY. WERE THAT AND YOU
COME FROM IF IT DOESN'T CLOSE
EARLY ARE WE IN LINE AND OUR.
.
ASSURING THE PUBLIC THAT THAT'S
GONNA BE A AND G. H. G..
A NEUTRAL POSITION
WELL SENATOR I WOULD AGREE WITH
YOU THAT THAT'S OF CONCERN I
BELIEVE THE PC ALREADY HAS
SUFFICIENT AUTHORITY AND
JURISDICTION TO SOLVE THIS
PROBLEM THEY ALREADY HAVE A
PROCESS IN PLACE THROUGH THE
INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLANNING
EFFORT. ARMED TO DEAL WITH
INCREASES IN GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS IN THIS BILL PROVIDES
THEM ACTUALLY WITH NO ADDITIONAL
AUTHORITY YOUR DIRECTION ON THAT
FRONT THAT I BELIEVE TO BE
MEANINGFUL. ON THE PC COULD BE
DOING MORE IN FACT WE'VE URGED
THEM TO DO MORE THEY HAVE THAT
FULLY WITHIN THEIR EXISTING
AUTHORITY. AND OUR ARGUMENT
WOULD BE TO LET THE PC MOVE
FORWARD WITH THAT AND TO THE
EXTENT THE DIABLO CANYON DOES
CLOSE BEFORE THE END OF THEIR
CURRENT LICENSES. AND IT WOULD
ALL BE WORKING TO FIGURE OUT A
WAY TO GET REPLACEMENT RESOURCES
ENERGY HD FREE ONLINE AS QUICKLY
AS POSSIBLE.
BUT WE DON'T SEE THAT THIS BILL
MAKES A MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTION
TOWARD THAT EFFORT IT'S VERY
GENERAL AND VAGUE IN TERMS OF
THE STATUTORY LANGUAGE IN THE
BILL ON THIS FRONT. ON IT
ESSENTIALLY REITERATE REITERATES
WHAT THE PC HAS ALREADY SAID
IT'S GOING TO DO.
SO WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE
APPROPRIATENESS THE BILL WE
THINK THE FUNDING SOURCES COULD
BE COME FROM ALTERNATIVE PLACES.
WITHIN THE LEGISLATURE COULD
AUTHORIZE MONEY IF IT SEES IT
APPROPRIATE.
SHAREHOLDERS COULD KICK IN SOME
MONEY THAT'S ON THE LETTER THAT
WE SUBMITTED WE UNDERSTAND THE
ISSUE TODAY'S THE ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT ON BUT WE DON'T BELIEVE.
THAT THE ISSUES RELATED TO
COMMUNITY IMPACT PAYMENTS THAT
WERE TESTIFIED TO OR THE
EMPLOYEE RETENTION BONUSES HAVE
ANY RELATIONSHIP TO THE
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES THAT THIS
COMMITTEE HAS JURISDICTION OVER.
SO THAT STAFF REPORT PART SOUTH
THAT THE IRE PEAS ARE ONLY HAVE
TO DESIGN.
.
TO AVOID AN INCREASE IN.
JAYSKI MISSIONS RATHER THAN.
REQUIRED THEM TO INCREASE NOT
INCREASED OPERATIONALLY IS THAT.
I MEAN I'M AND FIVE OF OUR STAFF
REPORT.
I THINK THAT THE THE INTEGRATED
RESOURCE PLANNING PROCESS IS A
WORK IN PROGRESS RIGHT NOW THE
PC HAS IDENTIFIED ON A
PARTICULAR SET OF OBJECTIVES
THAT IT'S OPERATIONALIZED
THROUGH WHAT IT CALLS A
REFERENCE SYSTEM PLAN. AND IT'S
ASKED ALL THE LOAD SERVING
ENTITIES TO COME IN AND MAKE
PROPOSALS FOR HOW THEY'RE GOING
TO MEET A LOT OF THESE GOALS BUT
MANY OF THE DETAILS REALLY HAVE
YET TO BE WORKED OUT THERE SO
MUCH TO BE DONE IN THAT CASE TO
FIGURE OUT. HOW THE PC IS GOING
TO OVERSEE SO MANY DIFFERENT
BUYERS OF ELECTRICITY IN THE
CURRENT MARKET AND
OPERATIONALIZE ITS GREENHOUSE
GAS GOALS?
OKAY NEXT WITNESS.
CHAIRMAN AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS
MY NAME IS ALEX DR ALEX XANDER
CAN HER.
FROM MENLO PARK AND I
REPRESENTING CALIFORNIA'S FOR
GREEN NUCLEAR POWER.
I CGMP.
ANTI. BEING SEVENTY NINE I'M
GLAD.
IT'S ACTUALLY.
JERRY HILLS BIRTHDAY TODAY.
WELL HAPPEN.
YOU GET THERE.
SO I'M GOING TO READ.
FOR EFFICIENCY AND IF PARDON MY.
EYESIGHT PROBLEM HERE.
SO IT'S A LITTLE TEN NINETY WE
HAVE SEEN OTHER BILLS BRIEF
PRESENTED HERE THAT ARE INTENDED
TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS.
EMISSIONS AND CALIFORNIA WHICH
IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
ARE AND THIS BILL TEN NINETY
DOES NOT DO THAT IT DOES THE
OPPOSITE.
AS OUR CGMP NAME SUGGESTS.
CALIFORNIA'S RIPPING OCCUR
POWER.
ARE.
IF THE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION.
THAT CREATES THE ADVANTAGES OF
NUCLEAR POWER.
AND IS
IT PROVIDES ACUTE DE REVENUE I'M
SORRY REVENUE BENEFITS AND
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS TO THE.
A CALIFORNIA.
DOES HE GIVE INCLUDE SCIENTISTS
AND ENGINEERS.
CONSIDERED TO BE SPECIALIST.
IN THEIR FIELDS WITH DEGREES.
AND DECADES A AND EXPERIENCE.
THEGYM HE FILED A CPC
APPLICATION FOR REHEARING MPG
NEEDS APPLICATION. TO ABANDON DO
YOU HAVE A CANYON AND FOR THAT
REASON THE CPUC WORDS WEBSITE
NOW SHOWS THAT THE APPLICATION
IS RE OPENED.
SO THE CPUC HAS NOT.
GRANTED THE APPLICATION.
CLOSE STEP AGAIN.
THAT'S IS NOT A FINAL CPUC
ACTION.
WE ARE. NEW TO THE LEGISLATIVE
PROCESS BUT HAVE STEP FORWARD
BECAUSE WE WANT TO HELP POLICY
MAKERS MAKE WISE DECISIONS.
BASED UPON SCIENCE.
AND WE MUST OPPOSE S. B. TEN
NINETY UNLESS IT IS AMENDED.
FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS
THREE REASONS.
ARE UNABLE ELEVENTH A
CONVERSATION WITH DOCTOR JEAN
NELSON.
OF OUR IS CGMP.
WITH A YOU WERE CONSULTANT DAVID
AFTER DAVID GARCIA.
GARCIA AGREED THAT BASED ON THAT
DR NELSON'S ANALYSIS REPLACING
DACKELL CANYON WITH OTHER CARBON
FREE ENERGY WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE.
THIS IS YOUR OWN CONSULTANTS
WORDS.
AND WE'RE IN TOTAL AGREEMENT AS
AN ENGINEER MYSELF THERE IS NO
WAY TO DO THAT.
I STATUTES REQUIRE THE CPUC TO
CONSIDER EACH OF THEIR DECISIONS
AFFECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.
IN THE DECISION TO RETIRE.
DIABLO CANYON THE CPUC
UNLAWFULLY HUNTED THESE.
CONSIDERATIONS
REQUIREMENTS.
IT WOULD BE EXTRAORDINARY FOR
THE LEGISLATURE TO STEP IN NOW
AND SET A PRECEDENT.
A ALLOWING CPUC TO VIOLATE ITS
DUTIES.
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT.
WITH EVERY.
RECEDING.
BY SIMPLY DIRECTOR ACTIVELY
CHANGING THOSE STATUTORY DUTIES.
SO THAT'S ONE KEY REASON WHY ARE
OPPOSED TO THIS BILL.
THESE ISSUES ARE CURRENTLY BEING
LITIGATED.
AND IT'S AN APPROPRIATE FOR THE
LEGISLATURE'S.
TO MOVE THE GOALPOSTS. DURING.
LITIGATION PENDENCY.
THIRD AND FINAL REASON SP TEN
NINETY CONTAINS AN OPERATIVE
LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS.
WHICH HAVE NO EFFECT AS LAW THE
LANGUAGE AND THOSE FINDINGS IS A
FIG LEAF
FOR THE WEEK ENVIRONMENTAL
LANGUAGE IN THE BILL'S ONLY
OPERATE A SECTION. THAT LANGUAGE
SECTION TWO.
ONLY MANDATES THE CPUC REQUIRES
PLANS.
THAT ARE DESIGNED.
TO AVOID INCREASED EMISSIONS.
THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE ANYONE TO
SHOW THAT DIABLO CANYON WILL BE
REPLACED WITH CLEAN POWER.
AND IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT AS
CAL I SO CAN EXPLAIN TO YOU IF
YOU HAVE A QUESTION.
NUCLEAR POWER IS STORAGE.
ANY ADAM NOT FISHING IS WAITING.
THE RELEASE ITS ENERGY IN THE
FUTURE WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO USE.
THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS OPPOSE.
I'M DOCTOR MICHAEL M. MERRIMACK.
.
I'M VOLUNTEERING MY TIME HERE IT
IS TO IT REPRESENTS THE GNP IS
WELL I'M NOT REPRESENTING THE
VIEWS OF MY EMPLOYER.
THE CLOSURE OF DIABLO CANYON IS
NOT SOMETHING THE LEGISLATURE
SHOULD ENDORSE.
GIVEN CALIFORNIA'S COMMITMENT TO
ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE THE
WISDOM OF ABANDONING
CALIFORNIA'S LARGEST GREENHOUSE
GAS FREE ENERGY SOURCE CONTINUES
TO BE CHALLENGED.
BY ENGINEERS CLIMATOLOGIST
ENVIRONMENTALISTS AND LOCAL
RESIDENTS.
THE OUTLOOK CANYON PROVIDE ONE
TENTH OF CALIFORNIA'S
ELECTRICITY NEEDS ECONOMICALLY
IN GREENHOUSE GAS THREE.
AND NOTED CLIMATE SCIENTIST
JAMES HANSEN HAS PUBLISHED AN
ESTIMATE THAT ONE POINT EIGHT
MILLION LIVES HAVE BEEN SAVED.
THE REDUCTION IN AIR POLLUTION
ISSUE BY NUCLEAR PLANTS
WORLDWIDE.
S. B. TEN NINETY WILL JUST
RESULT AND SHUFFLING EXISTING
GREENHOUSE GAS RESOURCES AND
IMPROPER ALERT RELIANCE UPON
CCA.
I LIKE SOLAR AND WIND DIABLO
CANYON IS A RELIABLE SUPPLY OF
ESSENTIAL EXPLODE POWER.
MAKING THE HAVE OFFLINE WILL
RESULT. IN THE BURNING OF MORE
FOSSIL FUELS TO MEET THAT NEED.
THIS WILL RESULT IN SEVEN
MILLION TONS MORE CARBON DIOXIDE
EMISSIONS ANNUALLY THEN IF THEY
HAVE A CONTINUED OPERATING.
THE GENIE TESTIFIED THAT MUCH OF
THE REPLACEMENT POWER FOR DIABLO
WILL BE GENERATED BY UNREGULATED
COMMUNITY CHURCH AGGREGATORS.
BUT THERE IS NO WAY FOR CPUC TO
ENFORCE.
THAT THEY WOULD MEET THE
ENORMOUS CHALLENGE.
CONSTRUCTING NEW GHG FREE
SOURCES TO REPLACE DIABLO.
ALSO SEND CCA'S ARE NOT REQUIRED
TO AUDIT THEIR SOURCES THERE'S
NO MECHANISM TO VERIFY ANY CLAIM
REGARDING THE CONTENT OF POWER
THAT THEY SELL.
FOR THESE REASONS THE GNP ASK
THAT THE COMMITTEE CONSIDER THE
FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS
FIRST.
REPEAT JOURNEY TRULY BELIEVES
THAT STATEMENTS THAT DIABLO CAN
BE REPLACED WITH GREENHOUSE GAS
FREE POWER.
THAT YOU HAVE NO ISSUE WITH
LEGISLATIVE LANGUAGE THAT
REQUIRES
THE CPUC TO DETERMINE
CONCLUSIVELY.
THAT THIS CAN BE DONE BEFORE
APPROVING THE RETIREMENT OF
DIABLO.
S. SP TEND NINETY SHOULD BE
AMENDED TO REQUIRE THE CPUC TO
WITHHOLD ITS FINAL APPROVAL OF
DABBLE RETIREMENT.
INTEL IT HAS BEEN SHOWN WITH
CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE.
AND SECOND IF LIKE WITH THE
SONGS RETIREMENT.
YOU H. T. EMISSIONS RISE
SUBSTANTIALLY IN CALIFORNIA.
THEN PJD SHOULD PAIR PENALTY
CONCOMITANT TO THE PENALTIES
PAID BY HAVE YOU MATTERS SB TEN
NINETY SHOULD BE AMENDED TO
REQUIRE SUCH A PENALTY.
OTHERS OPPOSED TO SP TEN NINETY
PLEASE COME FORWARD MY ROCKET.
I'M A DOCTOR JEAN NELSON CGMP IS
GOVERNMENT LIAISON REGARDING
ANALYSIS COMMENT TO DOCTOR
GARCIA CONFIRMS THAT ONLY PLANS
ARE REQUIRED THEY DON'T REDUCE.
AIR POLLUTION WHEN I DISCUSSED
SP TEN NINETY WITH HIM A WEEK
AGO HE CONFIRMED IT WOULD BE
IMPOSSIBLE.
TO REPLACE DIABLO CANYON HENCE
EMISSIONS WILL SUBSTANTIALLY
INCREASE IF THE ABLE CANYON
CEASES OPERATION THANK YOU.
OKAY WAS CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
BRING IT BACK CENTER MINING.
.
TRIES A MAIN
ASSEMBLYMEMBER WE'RE JUST
LOOKING ABOUT THE REQUIREMENT
THAT. THAT PIECE.
THE.
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION I
ENSURE THAT THERE'S NO INCREASE
AND THE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
FROM THE CLOSING WHEN I COULD
TALK ABOUT THE RETENTION PROGRAM
OR. THE COMMUNITY MITIGATION AYE
THERE'S BEEN A SUGGESTION BY THE
OPPOSITION THAT WE NEED MORE.
.
RESTRICTIVE LANGUAGE OR
AUTHORITY MINUTES REQUIREMENT
THAT THEY ENSURE IT. CAN YOU
COMMENT ON THAT BE GLAD TO THINK
YOU MISTER CHAIR. FIRST OF ALL I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
RECOGNIZE.
S. B. TEN NINETY IS NOT ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT DIABLO CANYON
SHOULD BE CLOSED THAT DECISION
HAS BEEN MADE.
S. B. TEN NINETY IS LOOKING AT
THE IMPACTS OF THE CLOSURE.
CRITICAL COMPONENT THERE'S THREE
PILLARS ONE IS COMMUNITY IMPACTS
ONE IS WORKER RETENTION ISSUES
IN THE THIRD IS THE REPLACEMENT.
OF THAT PRODUCED ENERGY WITH
CLEAN SAFE A RENEWABLE ENERGY.
PARTIES THAT AGREEMENT.
HAVE.
TRACK SHIRLEY AGREED TO THAT
COMMITMENT.
A WHILE IT MAY STILL BE IN A
PLANNING PHASE THE PHASE OUT OF
THE FACILITIES A SEVEN YEAR
SEVEN YEARS FROM NOW. PHASE OUT
PLAN.
P. YOU SEE DID.
ENCOURAGE THAT SHOULD BE
ADDRESSED AS PART OF THE BROADER
STATES
COMMITMENT TO ACHIEVING
RENEWABLE ENERGY OBJECTIVES BUT
THERE'S A CONTRACTUAL
COMMITMENT.
TO HAVE.
SAFE CLEAN RENEWABLE ENERGY
REPLACE WHAT'S CURRENTLY
PRODUCED BY DIABLO CANYON.
I WOULD ARGUE. THAT THE.
COMMUNITY MITIGATION AND THE
WORKER RETENTION.
DO YOU LINK.
IF THESE ENVIRONMENTAL
OBJECTIVES BECAUSE WE NEED THE
SAFE DECOMMISSIONING OF THAT
FACILITY WE NEED TO RETAIN THE
PUBLIC EMERGENCY RESPONSE OF
FIRST RESPONDERS. YOU KNOW THAT
MY CONSTITUENTS OUR CONSTITUENTS
IN SANLUIS OBISPO COUNTY ARE
ISSUED.
POTASSIUM IODIDE.
TABLETS.
TO TAKE IN THE EVENT.
OF THE OF AN UNPLANNED RELEASE
OF RADIATION FROM THAT FACILITY.
SO SP TEN NINETY.
CHIEFS.
THREE INTEGRATED OBJECTIVES OF
PUBLIC POLICY.
AND TO RESPOND TO THEIR THE
REPRESENTATIVE FROM TURN.
THE RATE INCREASE
HE DISTRIBUTED AMONG P. GENIE
BENEFICIARIES OF THAT CONTINUED
ENERGY PRODUCTION WILL BE ABOUT
EIGHTEEN CENTS.
PER MONTH FOR THE AVERAGE ENERGY
CONSUMER.
NOT PERPETUITY BUT WHILE THE
FACILITY IS STILL PRODUCING
ENERGY THAT THEY'RE USING TO
LIGHT THEIR HOMES.
AND RUN THE ELECTRICAL NEEDS OF
THEIR HOMES AND BUSINESSES SO
THERE'S A DRUG NEXUS
BETWEEN INTO MINIMUS RATE
INCREASE IN ACHIEVING THE PUBLIC
SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
OBJECTIVES.
IN SP TEN NINETY.
SUMMER CUTTING HIM GIVE ANYTHING
THAT ADDING CLOSING.
WE JUST SAID THAT AS THE EARLIER
WITNESS TESTIFIED THE WORKFORCE
RETENTION IS LINKED.
TO ACHIEVING THE GHG.
TRANSITION WITHOUT ANY INCREASE
IN GHGS BECAUSE.
FOUR A SITUATION WHERE THE
WORKFORCE RETENTION FUNDS ARE
INSUFFICIENT.
DID TO STAFF THE PLANT.
AND WERE IN SOME SORT OF EARLIER
CLOSURE REQUIREMENT WE DON'T
HAVE THAT SEVEN YEAR TRANSITION
PERIOD THAT WE'RE GOING TO NEED.
TO REPLACE IT TEN PERCENT OF THE
STATE'S.
ENERGY.
OKAY.
I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION YET
THANK YOU.
.
MR CHAIRMAN.
CENTER MONEY YEAR YOU MADE A
VERY IMPORTANT POINT IN THAT
WE'RE NOT HERE TODAY TO DISCUSS
THE CLOSURE OF.
DIABLO CANYON IS GOING TO CLOSE.
AND.
WE JUST CAN'T.
TOURNEY.
POWER PLANT OFF A NUCLEAR POWER
PLANT BY JUST TURNING A SWITCH.
THERE HAVE TO BE A THOUGHTFUL
PROCESS.
CERTAINLY IN THE BEST INTEREST
OF PUBLIC SAFETY IN ALL TELL YOU
THAT.
.
I BEEN IN THE POLITICAL ARENA
NOW FOR ABOUT TWENTY SIX YEARS
AND UP IF YOU'D HAVE ASKED ME
WHEN I STARTED IN THIS BUSINESS
IS A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER TO
MACULA.
WHAT I THOUGHT OF NUCLEAR
ENERGY ARE PROBABLY TO TOJI I
REALLY SUPPORTED IT'S CLEAN?
IT'S AN EXPENSIVE.
.
AND THEN AS YOU KNOW WE WE
WITNESSED NINE ELEVEN AND WE
ALSO WITNESSED THE HORRIFIC
EVENTS.
I NATURAL DISASTER OF FUKUSHIMA.
AND.
JAPAN.
AND AS YOU KNOW I'M. GOT A
COMPOUNDING PHARMACY.
AFTER FUKUSHIMA HAPPENED.
EVEN THOUGH ITS WAY ACROSS THE
PACIFIC OCEAN BUT THAT WATER
CONTAMINANTS ARE COMING OUR WAY.
I HAD TREMENDOUS REQUEST FOR
POTASSIUM IODIDE FROM. PATIENTS
AND IS A COMMERCIAL FORM OF IT
REALLY NEEDS TO BE COMPOUNDED.
SO WE HAD A NUMBER OF
PRESCRIPTIONS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT.
POTENTIAL COLOR CONTAMINATION
FROM RADIO ACTIVITY.
SO.
AYE ONE APPLIED DE YOU AND
ASSEMBLYMAN CUNNINGHAM.
ONE FOR REACHING OUT INTO HAVING
LEADERSHIP TO HAVE A THOUGHTFUL
PROCESS IN THE IN THE BEST
INTERESTS OF OUR ENVIRONMENT.
IN THE BEST.
INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY.
AND.
.
I THINK THAT THE MEN OF HIS
INCREASE.
AND ELECTRICITY BILLS AND AS A
REPUBLICAN I DON'T LIKE
INCREASES IN COSTS I DON'T LIKE
INCREASES IN TAXES BUT.
THE RESIDENTS OF THE AREA THAT
HAVE BEEN THE BENEFICIARIES OF
THIS INEXPENSIVE ELECTRICITY
SOURCE HAVE BENEFITTED FOR MANY
MANY YEARS AND I THINK.
THAT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
THE RAMIFICATIONS OF TURNING
DOWN A FACILITY THAT HAS SUCH
DANGEROUS FUELS OF THINGS ARE
NOT DONE IN THE APPROPRIATE
MANNER AND. IN AN APPROPRIATE
ORDER.
THEY HOUSE A PUBLIC SAFETY
IMPLICATIONS IMPLICATIONS AND I
FEEL THAT THE. THE THE CUSTOMER
BASE WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF YOUR
EFFORTS WITH THE BENEFITS COSTS
TO ENSURE THAT THEY CAN SLEEP AT
NIGHT KNOWING THAT. OF THINGS
ARE GONNA BE TURNED OFF
APPROPRIATELY AND THEY HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT RADIOACTIVE.
CONTAMINATION HOUSEHOLD LIKE
THAT IS YOUR EXPRESS GOALS
THROUGH THIS BILL. TO REPLACE
THIS WITH IS CLEAN ENERGY AS WE
POSSIBLY CAN. AND OUR STATE HAS
LED THE EFFORT NATIONWIDE
ESPECIALLY MY DISTRICT WITH WE
HAVE SOLAR IN THE EASTERN
COACHELLA VALLEY SOLAR FARMS WE
HAVE GEOTHERMAL.
WE HAVE WIND UP RIVERSIDE COUNTY
REALLY COULD BE A POSTER CHILD
IF YOU WILL OF ALTERNATIVE
ENERGY SOURCES AND I APPRECIATE
THAT YOU WANT TO REPLACE THIS.
AND I UNDERSTAND THE OPPOSITION
SAYS THAT YOU CAN'T BUT I I WORK
WITH THE UNITED KNOW THAT YOU'RE
GONNA TRY TO DO WHAT YOU CAN TO
MAKE SURE THAT THAT DOES HAPPEN.
AND THE AND FOR THOSE REASONS.
I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE YOUR BILL
AND APPLICABLE TO BRING FORWARD.
YOU HAVE A MOTION.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD.
I JUST THINK THE COMMITTEE FOR
YOUR TIME.
.
A FINAL.
QUICK REMARK WOULD BE.
THE P. YOU SEE A
HELD IT DID NOT HAVE THE
AUTHORITY TO APPROVE OF THE
COMMUNITY MITIGATION COMPONENT
THAT IS WE'VE ARGUED IS

THANK YOU AND GOOD MORNING
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS THEM
JUST COOK AUGER HERE PUT THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF AND IF
I WANT TO SHOW YOU.
THE DELPHI AND.
WE ARE THE SPONSOR OF THE BILL
AND WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAN
THEIR PORTANTINO FOR TAKING ON
THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE OF DEALING
WITH MICROSCOPIC POLLUTION. AND
RECOGNIZING THE MAGNITUDE OF
THIS PROBLEM WE BELIEVE THAT IT
IS IMPERATIVE TO TAKE A
SCIENTIFIC AND METHODICAL
APPROACH TO DEVELOPING. REMEDIES
AND SOLUTIONS FOR ADDRESSING
MAKER PLASTICS.
SOME OF THIS WORK IS ALREADY
BEING DONE BY THE OCEAN
PROTECTION COUNCIL AND THIS BILL
BUILDS ON THEIR EXISTING
EFFORTS.
AND WE THINK THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THIS STRATEGY CLAN AND SHOULD
PROCEED CONCURRENTLY WITH OTHER
PROPOSED EXISTING.
IT I'M SORRY PROPOSED AND
EXISTING SOURCE CONTROL EFFORTS
WE KNOW THAT SOURCE CONTROL YOU
CAN BE A VALUABLE AND PROVEN
METHOD. AND HOWEVER WE DO THINK
THAT ESTABLISHING A RESEARCH
BACKED PLAN IS A NECESSARY STEP
TO ADEQUATELY CHARACTERIZE THE
PROBLEM. MEASURE THE RISKS
IDENTIFY SOURCES AND ULTIMATELY
MAKES SCIENCE FACT POLICY
RECOMMENDATIONS THIS HOLISTIC
APPROACH AS PROPOSED BY S. B.

BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO INCLUDING
MONITORING OF CONTAMINANTS AND
REQUIREMENTS FOR NOTIFYING THE

DELIVERED TO CUSTOMERS THIS BILL
WOULD ADD MICRO PLASTICS TO THE

GIVEN THE HIGH LEVELS PRESENT IN

PUBLIC BE MADE AWARE OF THE
EXTENSION THE EXTENT OF
MICROPROCESSOR DRINKING WATER

THE PRESENT A MICROFIBER
PRESENCE OF MICRO FIBERS AND
SEAFOOD FOUND THAT TWENTY FIVE
PERCENT OF INDIVIDUAL FISH AND
THIRTY THREE PERCENT OF
SHELLFISH PURCHASED AT A LOCAL
FISH MARKET IN CALIFORNIA. AND
IT CONTAINED A MEGA PLASTICS
WITHIN THEIR GUT CONTENTS MOSTLY
MICROFIBER IS. ALONG WITH THE

OUR BUSINESS IS INTERESTED IN
THAT.
THE STAFF REPORT THIS IS ITEM
TWENTY FOUR S. B. FOURTEEN SIXTY
THREE.
HER.
OF.
COLLEAGUES SENATE BILL FOURTEEN
SIXTY THREE ADDRESSES TWO
CRITICAL CONCERNS.
FIRST IS GREENHOUSE GASES
WILDFIRES GENERATE MORE THAN
MORE GREENHOUSE GAS IN. TWO AND
A HALF DAYS THEN ALL THE CARS IN
CALIFORNIA OPERATING FOR A FULL
YEAR IN CALIFORNIA. THEREFORE.
WE SHOULD INCLUDE THIS IN THE
SCOPING PLAN FOR THE.
AIR RESOURCES BOARD.
TWO SPEAKING OF CARS THE
LEGISLATURE SEEMS TO WANT ONE
HUNDRED PERCENTELECTRIC CARS IN
THE FUTURE.
THIS REQUIRES AN IMMENSE AMOUNT
OF GREAT INFRASTRUCTURE. SO
THEREFORE WE SHOULD USE CAP AND
TRADE REVENUES TO BUILD IT.
AS NUMBERS WILDFIRES HAVE BEEN
CAUSED BY ELECTRIC LINES.
LIKE THE BUTTE FIRE WE SHOULD
HARDEN THE GRID TO PREVENT
BUYERS GREENHOUSE GASES AND LAS
STRUCTURES AND. JUST RECENTLY
LOST LIVES
INCLUDING FORTY FOUR THIS FALL.
IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN WE SAW NINE
THOUSAND MAJOR WILDFIRES AND
CONSUMED ONE POINT TWO MILLION
ACRES.
S. B. FOURTEEN SIXTY THREE WILL
ADDRESS THIS. IT COMPLETES AB
THIRTY TWO.
SACRAMENTO IS MANDATING MASSIVE
ELECTRIC EXPECTATIONS.
THEREFORE IT CANNOT PUT THIS
LOAD. PARDON THE PUN.
ON THE RATE PAYERS OR THE
UTILITY SHAREHOLDERS.
FORTUNATELY SACRAMENTO HAS THE
FINANCIAL ESOURCES TO BEEF UP
OUR UTILITIES WITH CAP AND
TRADE.
ON JANUARY SIXTEENTH OF THIS
YEAR I MET WITH THE THREE MAJOR
ELECTRIC UTILITIES TO DISCUSS.
THE RECENT OCCURRENCES WITH THE
WILD FIRES AND MET WITH. SAN
DIEGO GAS ELECTRIC SLASH
TEMPORARY ENERGY SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA EDISON AND P.
JEANNIE.
AS A RESULT OF THE DISCUSSION
ARE WE DISCUSSED RESPONSE
RECOVERY AND REBUILD. FOR THE
FIVE TAKEAWAYS I RECEIVED FROM
THAT MEETING WHETHER OR ONE
STRATEGY.
TO ARE OR SO A STRATEGY OF
INVESTING IN MORE RESILIENT
INFRASTRUCTURE TO ADDRESS
CLIMATE CHANGE TO.
GOAL OF FIFTEEN HARDENING
EXAMPLE POLLED CONVERSIONS
UNDERGROUND ELECTRIC LINES.
SCATTERED IT ENABLED RECALL
LOSERS.
THREE.
THERE NEEDS TO BE STRONGER
DEFINE PROTOCOLS AND REGULATIONS
AROUND PREVENTION FOR
COLLABORATION CALIFORNIA NEEDS
TO REASSESS HOW IT PLANS.THE
COMPREHENSIVELY ADDRESS
WILDFIRE RISK IN A CHANGING
CLIMATE AND FIVE HARDENING WILL
HELP RATE PAYERS WITH LOWER WILD
FIRE INSURANCE PREMIUMS.
DOING NOTHING HINDERS THE
AVAILABILITY OF DISK RISK
MITIGATING TOOL FOR THE
UTILITIES.
S. B. FOURTEEN SIXTY THREE WILL
HELP SAVE CALIFORNIA'S FORCE.
WHICH MAY ASSIST IN OVERALL
WATER CONSUMPTION.
THAT'S ADDRESSING ANOTHER
CRITICAL NEED FACING OUR STATE.
THANKS TO BETTER FORCE
MANAGEMENT THROUGH THINNING OR
PRESCRIBED BURNS.
UTILIZING TWENTY FIVE PERCENT OF
CAP AND TRADE REVENUES WILL SHOW
THE WORLD THAT CALIFORNIA IS
TRULY FOCUSED ON GLOBAL WARMING.
CURRENTLY IT HAS A MASSIVE BLIND
SPOT BY. IGNORING THE WILDFIRES
INSTEAD OF BLAMING CLIMATE
CHANGE CALIFORNIA HAS THE
ABILITY TO COMPREHENSIVELY
ADDRESSED THIS ELEPHANT IN THE
ROOM.
BY ADDRESSING ONE GREENHOUSE GAS
TOO LONG TERM INFRASTRUCTURE
IMPROVEMENTS THREE REDUCING THE
ANTICIPATED BURDEN ON RATE
PAYERS WHICH IS EQUIVALENT OF
THEIR INCURRING A HIDDEN TAX.
FOR IT CREATES JOBS IN FIVE IT
IT PREPARES FOR DRESSING
ELECTRIC CARS AND TRUCKS.
COLLIE SISTER RECENT STUDIES
FOUND THAT IF YOU WERE TO ADOPT
TESLA TRUCKS IT WOULD. TAKE AS
MUCH ENERGY THAT IT IT TAKES THE
POWER FOUR THOUSAND HOMES.
JUST TO RECHARGE ONE TRUCK FOR
THREE HUNDRED MILES.
SO THAT'S A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF
ELECTRICITY THAT WE HAVE TO
TRANSPORT. AROUND THIS STATE.
SO FROM.
GENERATION TO DISTRIBUTION TO
CONSUMPTION WE NEED TO ADDRESS.
ELECTRIC LINES AND.
THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO WILDFIRES
AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO
GREENHOUSE GASES
PREVENTION MANDATES THAT POWER
LINES OF ALL MODES BE HARD NOW.
SO S. B. FOURTEEN SIXTY THREE
PROVIDES THE FUNDING. BE
ACCOUNTABILITY THE ENVIRONMENT
PROTECTION CENTER ARE LACKING IT
PROVIDES SOLUTION FOR TREE
MORTALITY PROVIDING CARBON
SINKS.
IT PROVIDES A SAFEGUARD FOR
THOSE IN HIGH DANGER FIRE MABS
OWNS KNOWN AS HAZARD SECURITY
ZONES BY CAL FIRE. IT ADDRESSES
KICK GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTIONS
COMPREHENSIVELY. IT IS IT
PROVIDES A CLOSING OF THE LOOP
THAT THE GOVERNOR.
I GLADLY EMBRACE AND IT PROVIDES
THE BY PRODUCT OF NEW JOBS.
COLLEAGUES WE CAN NO LONGER LET
WILD FIRES STARTED BY ELECTRIC
POWER LINES DESTROY WHAT. SHOULD
BE A MAJESTIC AND CHRISTINE
STATE.
SACRAMENTO HAS THE ABILITY TO
CONNECT THE EXISTING DOTS.
A REVENUE SOURCE A STATEWIDE
GREAT IMPROVEMENT AND A VISION
FOR THE FUTURE IF GLOBAL WARMING
IS REAL THEN SP FOURTEEN SIXTY
THREE WILL PROVE. THE
LEGISLATURE'S SINCERITY ABOUT
HOLISTICALLY ADDRESSING AT MY
URGING AYE VOTE.
ON SENATE BILL FOURTEEN SIXTY
THREE.
ARE THOSE OTHER SUPPORTERS.
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT OF SB
FOURTEEN SIXTY THREE.
IMPORTS SUPPORTERS.
YES THEY SEE HERO COUNTY
REPRESENTATIVES OF CALIFORNIANS
SUPPORT.
OPPOSITION TO IT THAT S. B.
FOURTEEN SIXTY THREE.
WELL NUMBER CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
ARM.
FOR YOU FRED THIS THE STAFF
REPORT WE TALK AND YOU ONE
INCLUDE FORCE FIRES AND THEIR
CAP AND TRADE.
AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT THAT THAT
THAT BECOME TO COVERED ENTITIES
SHARES A LOT OF COVERED ENTITIES
NOW THAT HAVE TO SURRENDER ONE
COMPLIANCE INSTRUMENT FOR EVERY
EMISSION THAT THEY.
IF THEY REDUCE IF WE BRING IN.
TYPICALLY WE WERE LOOKING AT
MANMADE EMISSIONS NOT THERE WERE
FORCE FIRES BEFORE WE WERE HERE
YOU AND I.
AND YOU AND ALL OF US WERE HERE
SO WE DON'T WE DON'T INCLUDE
THEM IF YOU INCLUDE THOSE
EMISSIONS.
YOU NECESSARILY JACK UP THE
PRICE OF WHAT THE THE COVER
OTHER COVERED ENTITIES HAVE TO
PAY.
IS THAT REALLY WHAT YOU WANT TO
DO.
IT IS.
OKAY CHAIR.
.
WE HAVE.
FORCE FIRES THAT OCCUR NATURALLY
FOR CENTURIES THAT CAN YOU KNOW
MILLENNIAL.
BUT NOW WE'VE GOT MANMADE FIRES
THAT ARE DEVASTATING THE
ECOLOGY.
OF OF OF THIS STATE WHERE WERE
WE THESE PLANTS CAN HANDLE MAYBE
A FIRE EVERY.
IT'S TWO YEARS BUT NOT EVERY SIX
YEARS THOUGHT I DON'T DISPUTE
THAT I DON'T DISPUTE THAT'S OUR
NEEDS TO BE MORE DONE ON ON.
.
RATHER AND SUPPRESSION OF FIRES
IS PREVENTION PART THAT'S A
DIFFERENT QUESTION THAT'S THE
MONEY SIDE BUT IF YOU INCLUDED
IN THE CALCULATION YOU COULD
HAVE A LOT OF COVERED.
BUSINESSES THAT THEY'RE GOING TO
SEE THAT THEIR ALLOWANCES JACKED
UP OR FALL DOWN DEPENDING ON HOW
MANY FIRES WE HAVE AND THE SORT
OF THE. THE IDEA OF OF MARKET
BASED MECHANISM IN CAP AND TRADE
WAS TO SMOOTH OUT THAT IT. NO
WORK THERE'S OTHER.
A WELL I GUESS I JUST WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT YOU.
UNDERSTOOD THAT THAT THAT WOULD
HAVE THAT EFFECT THAT RIGHT BUT
IT'S A FREE MARKET. AUCTION
PROOF AND SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
DEALING WITH. AN ISSUE THAT
ACTUALLY BENEFITS
LOT OF OUR.
FIRMS THAT ARE ARE BUYING TO
CREDIT. A BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING
TO AT LEAST MAKE SURE THAT THEIR
PROPERTY SERVES SAFEGUARDED.
BUT ACOSTA DOING BUSINESS THIS
IS.
THIS IS WHAT WE GET TO ENJOYING.
SO I'M SAYING
IF YOU'RE GOING TO BED YOU'RE
YOU'RE INVOLVED IN YOUR TRYING
TO MITIGATE. LET'S LET'S TAKE IT
BEST TAKE CARE THE WHOLE THE
WHOLE THE WHOLE PIE NOT JUST.
TWO THIRDS OF IT IN IGNORE.
WILDFIRES WITCHER WIPING OUT ALL
THE DATA SAID STATS YOU'RE
TRYING TO ACHIEVE. SO GOTTA BE.
YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA COME AT A
COST BUT IT'S GOT TO BE
REALISTIC OTHERWISE.
WHO ARE WE KIDDING?
THE NEXT PORTION OF THE BILL I
HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IS THAT
FUNDING TO THE COUNTIES
SAID. LET OUT A CRUNCH OF MONEY
TO THE COUNTIES.
BUT THE ANTICIPATION THAT THERE
MAY BE.
FOREST FIRES AND THEN THE
ACCOUNTABILITY THAT WE HAVE WITH
THAT BIKE O. THERE IS IN THE
FIRE WHO'S GONNA GIVE BACK THAT
THOUGH.
YEAH I KNOW THAT MACULAR GREAT
QUESTION AND I GUESS THE ANSWER
WOULD BE MISTER CHAIR THAT. YOU
KNOW WE COULD SPEND PROBABLY A
LONG TIME WITH AN INFINITE
NUMBER OF FORMULAS AND HOW TO
DISTRIBUTE THE MONEY SO. THEY
GET THE BALL ROLLING WE SAID
LET'S GO FIFTY EIGHT DIFFERENT
COUNTIES WHATEVER THEY DON'T
NEED COMES BACK TO THE.
A STATE WHICH IS THEN
REDISTRIBUTED TO WHERE IT'S
REALLY NEEDED. OF SORT OF A
SIMILAR STRATEGY WITH PROP SIXTY
THREE IF YOU DON'T SPEND YOUR.
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FACT
FUNDS WITHIN THREE YEARS AGO IS
BACK TO THE STATE IS
REDISTRIBUTED ELSEWHERE SO THAT
WAS THE THE MODEL WE HAD BUT WE
CAN CERTAINLY MAKE.
A YOU KNOW A MYRIAD OF
AMENDMENTS AND CHANGES TO MAKE
SURE THAT.
IN THAT THE HARD HARDENING OF
THESE ASSETS ARE DONE QUICKLY
FROM ONE COUNTY. IS SMALL LIKE
ALPINE DOES IT WITH A WITH A FEW
DOLLARS THEN BLOOM THEY THEY
THEY JUST SEND THE MONEY BACK
AND. THEY CAN GET TO THE OTHER
COUNTIES WHERE WE CAN.
START ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE
THERE YET THAT WAS PART OF THE
WAS PRIDE UP IS THAT YOU HAVE LA
COUNTY WITH ELEVEN MILLION
PEOPLE ON CALPINE IN AND ALL
FIFTY COUNTIES GETTING AN EQUAL
AMOUNT OF FUNDING. JUST SEEMED.
DIDN'T IT DIDN'T.
CALCULATE THE NEED AND THAT.
GATHERS NO MATCH.
BUT BUT I'M OPEN TO ANY KIND OF
A FRIENDLY AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD
ADDRESS THAT I. WOULD JUST WANT
TO START SOMEWHERE INTO THIS IS
THAT THE FACT THAT THEY APPROACH
WE TOOK.
FENDER STAMPED OUT THANK YOU
AMISS TURN APPRECIATE.
YOUR COMMENTS AND TO.
REFERRED YOUR COMMENTS EARLIER
WERE FOCUSED ON JUST THE
ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF THE
BILL AND CERTAINLY. OF THE COST
OF THE CREDITS ASSEMBLY WILL BE
ADDRESSED PROBABLY AND
APPROPRIATIONS I IMAGINE
DIFFICULT THERE BUT.
YOUNG CENTER I THINK IT'S A
VERY THOUGHTFUL APPROACH TO. OF
MANAGING THE THIS IS THE
HORRIFIC ON AIR QUALITY ISSUES
ASSOCIATED WITH THE NUMEROUS
WILDFIRES THAT WE'VE HAD THAT
ALLEGEDLY CAUSED BY MY CLIMATE
CHANGE.
AND WE HAVE THIS CAP PETRY
PROGRAM AND USING REVENUE FROM
CAP AND TRADE TO.
TO TRY TO MITIGATE.
THAT.
AIR QUALITY ISSUE FROM THESE
WILDFIRES BY. DOING OR YOU KNOW.
BURKE IS THE PLAN BURNS TO TRY
TO ELIMINATE.
THE OVERALL AIR QUALITY DEBACLE
THAT HAPPENS WHEN WE HAVE THESE
HORRIFIC GIGANTIC OF FIRES SO.
I CAN SEE THAT YOU PUT A LOT OF
THOUGHT INTO THIS AND I THINK
IT.
IT HAS A LOT AMERICAN AND.
WITH THE TO THE PROPER TIME AND
I CAN MOVE YOUR BILL.
YOU IT'S APPROPRIATE NOW THAT'S
SAID HAS THE MOTION. I'M.
I.
SEEING NO OTHER QUESTIONS YOU
MAY CLOSE THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
THANK YOU FOR LETTING US TAKE A
HARD LOOK AT WHAT'S.
ACTUALLY BEEN HAPPENING IN THE
STATE.
AS SOMEONE WHO'S ENJOYING THE
PROCESS HERE AND SEEING WHERE.
THE DIRECTION IS ON HOW WE'RE
ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WE SHOULD BE
ADDRESSING IT HOLISTICALLY WE
CAN'T JUST FORCE ALL THE RATE
PAYERS AND UTILITIES TO START
FIGURING OUT HOW TO ARGUE THESE
ASSETS. AND WE GOT A REVENUE
SOURCE FIGHTING THIS IS A
GENUINE BILL THIS IS A FUN BILL
THAT. SORTA HARMONIZES ALL THE
COMPONENTS
TRYING TO GET THINGS FIXED AND
MAKE CALIFORNIA A REAL MODEL FOR
THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. AND THE
WORLD OF BUT IF IF WE HAVE A
BLIND SPOT WE DON'T ADDRESS IT.
THEN ALL OUR METRICS CAN I GO
OUT THE WINDOW WITHOUT
ADDRESSING THE HARDENING OF
THESE ARE ELECTRIC LINES AND
THIS IS THAT I THINK A WIN WIN
FOR FOR EVERYONE YES SUMMIT PAY
MORE. BUT.
BUT ON THE WHOLE THIS IS
ADDRESSES SOME MAJOR CONCERNS
GOING FORWARD IN THE FUTURE IF
WE'RE TRYING TO BE SO
ELECTRICITY DEPENDENT.
DISC THIS WOULD BE A FUN WAY TO
GET THE BALL ROLLING.
OKAY I'M UNABLE TO SUPPORT THE
BILL TOTAL MIND PAVE. MADE SOME
COMMENTS DIRECTLY TO THE FOR
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE FIFTH CAL
FIRE TO THE.
AT THE.
.
AIRPORT ABOUT THE THE WEIGHT AND
THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT'S
GOING INTO FORCE HEALTH AND
GIVEN THE INFORMATION WE HAD
SORT OF THE THE.
SPIRIT OF A FEW LEGISLATION SO.
WITH THAT WILL CALL THE ROLL
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
ITEM NUMBER TWENTY FOUR S. B.

HAVEN'T RECONSIDERED AYE IT'S MY
INTENTION TO ANY BILLS THAT ON
YOUR ONE SEARCHER THANK YOU.
BUT THANK YOU LET'S TURN TO FILE
GAS AND BIO MAY.
METHANE THIS IS ITEM NUMBER
TWENTY THREE S. B. FOURTEEN
FORTY BY SENATOR HUESO.
HE WAS JUST HERE HE IS HERE.
FOURTEEN.
ITEM NUMBER.
TWENTY THREE.
GOOD MORNING GOOD MORNING
DETERMINED IT NO GOOD AFTERNOON.
IT IS AFTERNOON.
UP BUT BEFORE I MAKE MY OPENING
REMARKS.
I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS.
THE COMMUNITY COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS I THINK ARE CRITICAL
TO TO THE BILL.
AND I JUST WANTED TO JUST.
.
MAKE IT CLEAR WERE OUT WHERE I
STAND ON THE AMENDMENTS AND I'M
HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN.
ON OTHER DEAF DEFINITION OF BY
METHANE.
WE BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE
INCLUSIVE OF THE FOLLOWING
FEEDSTOCKS AGRICULTURAL WASTE
FORCED WASTE LANDFILLS.
MUNICIPAL SEWAGE SLUDGE.
LIVESTOCK WASTE AND DIVERTED
ORGANIC WASTE.
I HOPE YOU CAN WORK WITH ME ON
THAT.
I'M ALSO WILLING AMEND BILL TO.
UPDATE THE DEFINITION OF BIOGAS
TUNING TO INCLUDE GASIFICATION.
LOTS OF PRACTICE IS STILL NOT.
UP PRACTICAL BUT ONE DAY IT WILL
BE AND INCLUDED IN THE BILL
WON'T HURT.
THIS PROCESS AS AS IT AS IT
COMES ONLINE IT COULD BE ADDED
TO THIS TO THIS.
.
A RESOURCE.
WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THE
COMMITTEE'S DESIRE TO INCLUDE.
THE ENTIRE BIO GAS INDUSTRY INTO
THE BILL.
BUT A YOU KNOW BIOGAS COULD NOT
BE INJECTED.
INTO INTO THE FIELD STREAM OF OF
NATURAL GAS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T
HAVE THE PROPERTIES.
SO.
.
ANY ANY PROCUREMENT TARGETS
RELATED TO.
BIOGAS WE WE NEED TO DISCUSS IN
TERMS ON OUR STAND WITH THAT WAS
THE PURPOSE OF THAT'S LIKE
SAYING. WE'RE GONNA MAKES DIESEL
AND GASOLINE AND PUT THAT INTO
AUTOMOBILES SETTLED IT'LL DEBT
DAMAGE
THE SYSTEM OF THE AUTOMOBILE TO
DO THAT. ADDING BIOGAS.
WITH.
WITH NATURAL GAS BIRD PRETTY
MUCH
DAMAGE PEOPLE STOVES AND
HEATERS.
AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT
TO DO WE WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT WE COMMIT TO UNDERSTANDING.
WE VIEW IN TERMS OF WHY THAT IS
I DON'T HAVE ANY.
ANY PROBLEM ATTY IN.
ANY KIND OF GAS TO THE
INVENTORY IT'LL BE HELPFUL BUT
IT HOUSE TO CONFORM.
TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SYSTEM.
I'M ALSO WILLING TO BEND BILL TO
REQUIRE A ARE BEAT TO BE THE
LEAD AGENCY WITH TO CPUC IN A
CONSULTING ROLE. AS YOU KNOW AS
LONG AS WE WE CLEARLY ARE
ARTICULATE WHAT THOSE RULES ARE
I DON'T WANNA.
NECESSARILY A.
I'M MUDDY THE WATERS IN TERMS OF
WHO DOES WHAT BUT THERE'S A
THERE'S A GOOD ROLE FOR A ARE BE
IN TERMS OF.
.
A A RP.
SHOULD SHOULD SET THE THE LIST
THE SECTOR SPECIFIC GOALS.
AND AND.
.
SHOULD IT SHOULD OF.
SET THE LIMITS.
.
BUT OF.
YOU KNOW CPUC HAS ITS OUR COST.
SAID PROCESS THAT NEEDS TO BE
FOLLOWED AS WELL AS WELL.
I AM ALSO WILLING TO MEN.
THE BILL TO REQUIRE AIR BE TO
SET THE.
THE GOALS FOR EACH OF THE
FOLLOWING PROJECTS INCLUDING AND
NOT LIMITED TO.
LANDFILLS MUNICIPAL SEWAGE
SLUDGE LIVESTOCK WADE'S.
AND DIVERTED ORGANIC WASTE
WHILE RETAINING THAT THIRTY TO
BE CF OVERALL GOAL OF SPEAK TO
WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT.
BUT HAVING THAT BE A GOAL.
ENSURES THAT ARE OUT THERE ARE
STATE COULDN'T OBJECT MEET.
BUT THESE SPUR OF THESE
PRODUCERS CAN MEET THE STEPS
OBJECTIVES WE DON'T WANNA.
HOW OVERSTATE THAT AND AND
WHEREVER WE CAN?
?
PROVIDED. BY INJECTION INTO THE
SYSTEM WOULD BE GOOD FOR
EVERYBODY INVOLVED.
I'M ALSO WILLING AMEND BILL TO
REQUIRE.
THE UTILITY TO PROVIDE LABOR
CONTRACT LABOR MATERIAL TAX IN
TOTAL CUSTOMERS WITHIN THE
PROJECT DEVELOPER.
IF.
ARE THERE IS A A NEED FOR
ADDITIONAL COST TRANSPARENCY I
COMMIT TO WORKING WITH YOU AND
AND THEY'RE VARIOUS STOCKHOLDERS
TO ENSURE.
AND THAT THIS INFORMATION IS
AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC THAT
THEY UNDERSTAND.
EVERY EVERY PENNY OF COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE STUDENT TO
MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY CAN.
.
PARTICIPATE IN THAT PROCESS AT
THE CPUC LEVEL.
I ALSO RECOGNIZE.
THE COMMITTEES ANALYSIS IS
CALLING FOR STRIKING LANGUAGE.
REGARDING REPAIR COST RECOVERY.
ARE THIS IS A A REALLY COR PIECE
OF THIS LEGISLATION AND AND.
.
NO I I HOPE THAT WE CAN WORK
TOGETHER ON THAT SPIT SPECIFIC
PART.
ARE THERE ARE THERE ARE CONCERNS
ABOUT ONE EFFORT INFRASTRUCTURE.
IT WILL BE UP.
WILL BE APPROVED WILL BE
ALLOWED.
BUT.
MAKING SURE THAT THE THE CPUC
HAS THE ABILITY TO MAKE THAT.
THE DECISIONS ON THAT WAY THAT.
SUPPORT THESE PROJECTS COMING
ONLINE IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT.
WITHOUT THAT THIS BILL IS IS NON
FUNCTIONAL WE HAVE TO WE HAVE TO
KIND OF COME UP WITH A WAY. TO
ESTABLISH THAT.
WE REALLY WANNA KEEP THAT
PROVISION OF THE LEGISLATION IN
THE BILL WE REALLY HOPE. THAT
YOU'LL WORK WITH US ON THAT.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
JUST A YOU KNOW MY OPENING
REMARKS AND.
IN TWO THOUSAND SIX CALIFORNIAS
STARTED A VERY IMPORTANT PATH.
OF SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING GREECE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IN THE
STATE.
THE AIR THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD
IDENTIFIED METHANE HAS BEEN. ONE
OF THAT THE HIGHEST.
DISTRIBUTORS TO THESE EMISSIONS
ITS A HIGHLY POTENT SOURCE OF
EMISSIONS AND NORMALLY IS.
HOPE HIS IS IS IN AREAS.
THAT HAVE.
A LOT OF PRODUCTION.
OF AGRICULTURE PRODUCTS.
AS A RESULT OF SENATOR LOTT ONTO
TWENTY SIXTEEN PASSED
GROUNDBREAKING WILL LEGISLATION
TO LIMIT METHOD. METHANE
EMISSIONS FORTY PERCENT BY
TWENTY THIRTY.
THIS BILL IS NOW LAW.
IT'S BEEN SIGNED INTO LAW.
AND OWE THIS BILL IS NECESSARY
TO MEET THE OBJECTIVES OF THAT
BILL NOW WITHOUT. THIS BILL.
LOOKED IMPOTENT PEOPLE WILL
LARGELY BE IN NONCOMPLIANCE AND
OPEN UP TO TO FIND WITHOUT.
NECESSARILY KIDDING THE PATHWAY
TO TO ALLOWING THEM TO COMPLY
WITH THOSE WITH THOSE
REGULATIONS.
ACCORDING TO THE ARE BE
REPLACING FOSSIL FUELS WILL BY

AND MAKING IT COST AS COST
EFFECTIVELY AS POSSIBLE.
AND ACCESSIBLE COULD HELP US
REDUCE SHORT LIVED CLIMATE
POLLUTANTS
REDUCE DEMAND FOR NATURAL GAS IN
OUR STATE AND ULTIMATELY HELP US
MEET OUR TWENTY THIRTY. CLIMATE
TARGETS
TO DATE. HER LEGISLATIVE BUDGET
COMMITTEES HAVE ALLOWED HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM A
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION
REDUCTION FUN.
FOR BY A METHANE FACILITIES.
IF TO FUND BY MATH IN FACILITIES
INNER TO HELP US MEET OUR
METHANE EMISSION REDUCTION
GOALS.
BUT THIS IS JUST THE FIRST STEP.
THE ARE BE HAS ALSO RECOMMENDED
TO ADDITIONAL STEPS IN THE
SEARCH COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION
FIRST.
TO BUILD MARKET CERTAINLY AND

FROM THESE FACILITIES.
OUT TO HELP SECURE FINANCING OF

SECOND LEAD TO DEVELOP AND

THIS BILL WILL DO BOTH OF THOSE
THINGS.
IN.
WHAT THIS BILL?
WOULD OUR CREATOR MARKET FOR

FOURTH FOR REFERENCE AND WHAT
I'M SAYING HERE THIRTY TWO
BILLION CUBIC FEET OF BIO

HUNDRED AND FIFTY NEW BIO
METHANE PRODUCTION PROJECTS
STATEWIDE. THOSE PROJECTS.
WOULD REPRESENT TEN POINT ONE
BILLION DOLLARS.
ONLY.
UGH A GOOD ENVIRONMENTAL

SUPPORT.
BOB FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE
TRYING TO REDUCE.
THE THE SHORT LIVED CLIMATE
POLLUTANTS BUT THIS IS ALSO A A
PROJECT THAT WOULD CREATE LOTS
AND LOTS OF JOBS.
WITHIN OUR STATE. THESE ARE IN
STATE JOBS.
THAT WILL HELP
TO SUPPORT OUR ECONOMY FOR FOR
MANY YEARS TO COME.
THIS OUGHT BILL WILL ALSO PHILIP
POLICY GRATTON GAP.
GREETED BY SB THIRTY THIRTY
EIGHT ONE THEM.
WHEN WE MANDATE THE SEVENTY FIVE
PERCENT OF ORGANICS.
BE DIVERTED FROM LANDFILLS BUT
DID NOT PROVIDE A MARKET FOR IT.
SO WE ARE PROVIDING REQUIREMENTS
AND NO PATHWAY FOR PEOPLE TO
MEET THESE OBJECTIVES THIS IS
WHY WE HAVE PROPOSED. DIVERTED
ORGANIC WASTE AS AN EXPLICIT
EXPLICIT CATEGORY.
ACCORDING TO THE AIR BE
IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
AND ECONOMIC MAYBE THE MOST WE
REALIZED AND DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES BY. PRIVATIZING
PIPELINE INJECTION OF RENEWABLE
NATURAL GAS.
AS A CENTER REPRESENTING THE
AREAS WITH ONE OF THE HIGHEST
RATES OF AIR POLLUTION IN THE
HIGHEST RATES OF EMERGENCY
HOSPITALIZATIONS AS A RAT RESULT
OF ASTHMA.
I KNOW THERE ARE COMMUNITIES CAN
AFFORD TO WAIT.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL HUMAN COSTS OF
NOT ACTING NOW. IS SIGNIFICANT
NOT TO MENTION THAT ACT IN
CREATING A MARKET FOR BY A
METHOD. IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
TO MEET OUR DAIRY AND LIVESTOCK
NOTHING REDUCTION GOALS AS
EXPLICITLY STATED. IN S. B..
THIRTEEN EIGHTY THREE.
I HAVE A.
THE WITNESSED WITH ME TODAY NICK
RENEWABLE NATURAL GAS AND SHE'D
LIKE TO MAKE. SOME ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS.
HELLO CHAIRMAN AYE CASKEY AND
MEMBERS NICK FOR COACH FOR AND
FOR NO ONE ACTUALGAS.
WE ARE NATIONAL TRADE
ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING OVER A
HUNDRED MEMBERS THAT DELIVER
OVER NINETY PERCENT OF THE BY A
METHANE PRODUCED IN NORTH
AMERICA.
WE ACTUALLY HAD SEVERAL OF OUR
MEMBERS COMING FROM OUT OF TOWN
OUGHT TO TEST VESSELS I MANY
YIELD MY TIME TO THEM. I'M SO
THEY CAN COME OUT AND TELL YOU
ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF THE BILL
THEMSELVES.
THE GIFT.
NEXT.
GOOD AFTERNOON AYE CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS COMMITTEE TIM CARMICHAEL
WAS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS
COMPANY. A IT JUST A COUPLE OF
ADDITIONAL POINTS I.
IN OTHER TWO INFORMATIONAL
HEARINGS THIS YEAR A.
CHAIRWOMAN.
.
MARY NICHOLS FROM THE AIRPORT
COMMUNICATED THAT KEY TO
CALIFORNIA'S CLIMATE A STRATEGY
IS THE SHORT LIVED CLIMATE
POLLUTANTS PLAN AND KEY TO A
SUCCESSFUL SHORT LIVED CLIMATE
POLLUTANTS PLAN. IS A STRATEGY
FOR BY A METHANE.
ARE THIS BILL IS NOT GOING TO
DELIVER ALL OF THE REDUCTIONS
THEIR CALL FOR IN THAT PLAN BUT
IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT STEP
TOWARDS DELIVERING THOSE
REDUCTIONS OVER THE NEXT DECADE.
A WE STRONGLY SUPPORT THIS BILL.
AND FOR ALL THE REASONS AT THE
CENTER ARTICULATED IS OPEN.
AND THAT IN THE THIRTY TO BE CFS
BIO METHANE RIGHT THESE ARE YOU
SAYING THAT AS A FLOOR OR IS A
HARD CAP YOU KNOW WE. WE SAY
IT'S A PROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTS
A TARGET YOU KNOW THE KIND OF.
WORDSMITH THAT BUT IF YOU CITIES
I MEAN.
IS THAT THE FLOOR DO YOU THINK
OR IS THAT.
I HAVE A FEELING THAT'S HARD
THAT'S TO SAY THAT'S A SILLY
THAT'S HARD CAP OKAY SO BECAUSE
THAT'S WHAT WE.
YEAH I MEAN I'M ENVIRONMENT
THINK.
SO CENTER I THINK YOU TOUCHING
ON THE REALITY IS OVER TIME
WE'RE GOING TO NEED MORE
REDUCTIONS IN THAT. THE REASON
THE STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED IN
THIS QUESTIONS WITH THE SENATOR
HAVE COME AROUND THAT. FIGURE IS
NOT BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT'S
ULTIMATELY WHAT'S GOING TO BE
NEEDED BUT THAT'S WHAT WE CAN WE
CAN SAY WITH A STRAIGHT FACE
TODAY WE HAVE A STRATEGY TO
MANAGE THE COSTS. AROUND
ACHIEVING THAT NUMBER TO
ACCELERATE THE PROJECT TO BUILD
THE THINGS EXACTLY ALL THE
EXACTLY.
MORE WILL BE NEEDED OVERTIME BUT
THE REASON WE THAT NUMBER FOR
THE BILL IS WE HAVE STRATEGIES.
TO MANAGE THE COSTS ASSOCIATED
WITH CHEATING AT TARGET AND
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT ON. THE
CONSUMER SIDE.
NEXT WITNESS.
THANK YOU MEMBERSHIP YOUR PEERS
ONLY WITH ARIA ENERGY ARE IS THE
LARGEST PRODUCER OF RENEWABLE
NATURAL GAS FROM LANDFILLS.
IN THE U. S. AND WERE MAJOR
PLAYER IN THE TRANSPORTATION
FUELS MARKET.
ESPECIALLY HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
ARIA PROCESSED OVER FIFTY
MILLION OF BE CF OF LANDFILL GAS
AND PROVIDED ENOUGH ARE IN G. IN
TWO THOUSAND AND SEVENTEEN TO
GENERATE SEVENTEEN MILLION. DE
THREE REPS.
AS A RESULT ARIA PREVENTED
SEVENTEEN MILLION METRIC TONS.
OF CO TWO EQUIVALENT FROM
ENTERING THE ATMOSPHERE FROM
METHANE.
THAT'S EQUIVALENT OF TAKING FOUR
MILLION CARS OFF THE ROAD.
OUR IS PARTNERING WITH NUMEROUS
ENTITIES INCLUDING REPUBLIC
LANDFILLS TO DEVELOP OUR ENERGY
PROJECTS ACROSS THE UNITED
STATES TODAY.
RIGHT NOW ARE YOU HAS TEN
PROJECTS IN THE PIPELINE AND
MANY MANY OTHERS UNDER
CONSIDERATION IN VARIOUS STAGES
OF DEVELOPMENT. TO HEARING
CALIFORNIA. AND THREE OTHERS
THAT ARE CURRENTLY FINANCED AND
UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
WHAT IS NEEDED TO MOVE AHEAD IN
CALIFORNIA?
GOOD GAS RESOURCES YOU HAVE THAT
SENATOR REFERENCE THOSE.
MARKET CERTAINTY WITH ACCESS TO
INVESTMENT CAPITAL.
SENATE BILL FOURTEEN FORTY WOULD
PROVIDE THAT.
PASSING THIS BILL WITH A THIRTY
TWO BC OF BAH PROCUREMENT GOAL
CREATES THE POTENTIAL FOR A
HUNDRED AND FIFTY. NEW ARE IN G.
PROJECTS.
WITH TEN POINT FIVE BILLION IN
CAPITAL INVESTMENT AND TWENTY
SIX ONE THOUSAND NEW JOBS.
MORE IMPORTANTLY IT DOES PROVIDE
US WITH CERTAINTY.
AND.
ACCESS TO INVESTMENT CAPITAL
FOOD TO PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE ON
THE SLATE FOR CALIFORNIA TODAY.
NEXT WITNESS.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS.
UP I'M FAIR REST AND THE
DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
AND FOR IN FAILED FOR IT LOOKS
LIKE CONTROL SUCH AS THE
TECHNOLOGY COMPANY IN. CAME IN
THIS MORNING FOR OUR SAN
FRANCISCO OFFICE TO REGISTER
SUPPORT FOR THE SPELL.
A LOS AYE CONTROLS IS THE LEADER
IN AUTOMATED LANDFILL GAS
COLLECTION.
WHERE WE UTILIZE?
TECHNOLOGY TO OPTIMIZE
COLLECTION AT THE LANDFILL AND
WE DEMONSTRATED OVER A TWENTY
PERCENT INCREASE IN COLLECTION
THAT LANDFILLS WITH THIS
TECHNOLOGY WHICH ALSO REDUCES
FUGITIVE EMISSIONS FROM THOSE
LANDFILLS.
WE SUPPORT SB FOURTEEN FORTY
BECAUSE IT WILL CREATE A
PROCUREMENT PROGRAMMING GOALS
WHICH CREATES MARKET CERTAINTY
FOR OUR CUSTOMERS AND WILL LEAD
TO INVESTMENT IN PROJECT
DEVELOPMENT. AS WELL AS
TECHNOLOGIES LIKE GARTH.
ON A PERSONAL NOTE.
I'VE ACTUALLY WATCHED THE
CALIFORNIA ARE IN G. MARKET FOR
THE LAST DECADE. AND IN MY
FORMER CAPACITY AT EPA REGION
NINE IT WAS DISHEARTENING TO SEE
HOW MUCH ARE IN G. WENT UP IN A
FLARE AND WAS WASTED IN
CALIFORNIA.
AND.
IT PARTICULARLY A. SADBECAUSE
PIPE Y. BIO MATH IN THE SUCH A
GREAT PATHWAY.
FOR.
.
FOR GAS FOR MARGIE PROJECTS
WITHOUT THE LOCAL AIR QUALITY
IMPACTS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH
COMBUSTION.
MEANWHILE REST THE COUNTRY IS
DEVELOPING THESE PROJECTS FASTER
THAN EVER.
WE ARE EXCITED AS A TECHNOLOGY
COMPANY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
NEW MARKET SB FOURTEEN FORTY
WILL BRING.
AND WERE POISED TO DEPLOY OUR
TECHNOLOGIES TO REDUCE
GREENHOUSE GASES IN SHORT LIVED
CLIMATE POLLUTANTS IN LINE WITH.
THE STATE BOTH THINK IT.
IF THE QSR WAS A WIECKOWSKI AND
MEMBERS OF THE.
COMMITTEE.
TO PRY COMMENTS FOR THIS
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION.
MY NAME IS WAYNE GRAHAM ON THE.
I WISH REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT

VIRTUALLY ALL DENTURES ATTACHED
BY CHURCHES ARE SO OPERATION
WE'VE INSTALLED.
ABOUT WAY PERSONAL BACKGROUND ON
THE SEVENTH GENERATION
CALIFORNIAN. OUT OVER THIS TIME
I'VE SEEN WILL GOOD POLICY
PRACTICE CAN DO TO IMPROVE
LEAGUE LIVING CONDITIONS
INCLUDING AIR QUALITY.
THE DEVELOPMENT I DIE JUST AS IN
CALIFORNIA WILL HELP CAPTURE
GREENHOUSE GASES REDUCE ODORS
AND PROVIDE A CLEANER SOURCES
TRANSPORTATION FUEL CAN USE IS
REPLACING FOR ADMISSION LADEN.
DIESEL ON FARMS LONG HAUL TRUCKS
AND OTHER TETHERED FLEETS.
FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF PROJECT
DEVELOPER.
LEGISLATION LIKE SP FOURTEEN
FORTY WILL MANAGE KASI PIPELINE
INTERCONNECTION COSTS AND
PROVIDE IMPORTANT SUPPORT IN
THAT.
BY METHANE PRICING.
THE CURRENT DRAFT LEGISLATION WE
WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST ADDITIONAL
STRENGTHENING OF PREFERENCES FOR
INSTATE DRIVE BY METHANE.
AND WOULD ALSO LIKE TO.
SEE CLARITY ON PRESSING FLOORS
AND HOW INFORMAL CREDITS WILL BE
SHARED.
THESE ACTIONS WILL GIVE
INVESTORS DEVELOPERS AND FARMERS
MORE CLARITY SECURITY AND
CERTAINTY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH
THESE GAME CHANGING IMPORTANT
ADJUSTER PROJECTS.
HAVING SAID THAT WE APPRECIATE
THE DIRECTION INTENT OF SP
FOURTEEN FOURTEEN OFFER FULL
SUPPORT.
HAPPY ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
YOU MAY HAVE.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS JOSH PANEM BEHALF THE
CALIFORNIA REFUSE RECYCLING
COUNCIL AND WE
PORT TE SENATORS EFFORTS AND WE
WOULD. URGE YOUR SUPPORT FOR
THIS OUR COMPANIES ABOUT A
HUNDRED COMPANIES THROUGHOUT THE
STATE. REPRESENT ABOUT THREE
HUNDRED FIFTY SIX CITIES THAT
COLLECT THIS MATERIAL ABOUT
FORTY PERCENT.
OF ALL OF THIS MATERIAL WILL
COME FROM CITIES LANDFILLS WASTE
TREATMENT PLANTS
I SAID WE APPLAUD THE CENTER'S
EFFORTS HAD URGED HER I'D GO.
THANK YOU.
Q..
OTHERS.
AS CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MARK A PRAYER ON
BEHALF OF REPUBLIC SERVICES WE
WANNA THANK SENATOR HUESO FOR
BRINGING THIS MEASURE FORWARD
AND. WOOD AND I ASK FOR NIGHT
VOTE THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS ANGIE MINETTI ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE COUNCIL
LABORERS IN SUPPORT THINK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON JULIA LEVIN WITH
A BIO ENERGY ASSOCIATION OF
CALIFORNIA WHERE A TWEENER.
AND I PERSONALLY I HAVE SEVERAL
COMMENTS BECAUSE WE REPRESENT
MOST OF THE IN STATE INDUSTRY.
AND I WANT TO START BY THANKING
THE AUTHOR AND ALSO SO CAL GAS
FOR PUTTING FORWARD A REALLY
IMPORTANT ISSUE WE DO NEED A
PROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTS. ON BY
A METHANE AND BIOGAS ON THIS IS
ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO ACHIEVE.
THE REQUIREMENTS OF SB THIRTEEN
EIGHTY THREE TO REDUCE SHORT
LIVED CLIMATE POLLUTANTS AND TO
REDUCE EMISSIONS FROM WILD FIRE
WHICH YOU HEARD A LOT ABOUT
EARLIER THIS MORNING. IN REGARD
SENATOR JACKSON'S BILL.
EXCUSE ME.
UP.
HAVING SAID THAT.
I WOULD SAY BOTH THE SUBSTANCE
AND THE PROCESS ON THIS BILL
HAVE BEEN REALLY SERIOUSLY
FLAWED THIS IS THE SECOND POLICY
COMMITTEE AND THEY'RE STILL.
STANGEL PROBLEMS WITH THE BILL I
VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR
BUT WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THAT
FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. AND
SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD
DO THAT. IT WOULD BE CONSISTENT
WITH THE ELIGIBILITY BIOGAS
UNDER THE OUR PS
WHICH MANY STATE AGENCIES MANY
LAWYERS INCLUDING THE TRAIN
GENERAL'S OFFICE DEVELOP
TOGETHER. IN TWO THOUSAND AND
TWELVE.
IN THE CHAO'S APPROVAL AB TWENTY
ONE NINETY SIX
SO THAT THIS BILL WOULD FOCUS ON
IN STATE BIOGAS IN A WAY THAT
DOESN'T VIOLATE THE COMMERCE
CLAUSE.
AND EVEN IN THE AUTHORS FIRST
ROUND OF AMENDMENTS THAT ISSUE
WAS NOT TAKEN UP AND ACTUALLY
THE BILL WAS OPENED UP EVEN MORE
TO ADD A STATE BY A GAS.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE INTERESTS OF
THE OUR NGC COALITION AND THE
SPEAKERS.
.
THERE MEMBERS WHO HAVE TESTIFIED
THEY REPRESENT MULTI STATE OR
OUT OF STATE COMPANIES AND THAT
IS WHAT IS FLOODING THE MARKET
IN CALIFORNIA SO. THIS IS A
CRITICAL ISSUE TO GET RIGHT.
AND IN ADDITION I APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR AND SAYING THAT ALL
SECTORS WOULD BE INCLUDED IT IN
AN.
ONE OF HIS FIRST COMMENTS BUT
THEN LATER ON HE MENTIONED ONLY
A COUPLE OF FACTORS. THAT WE
NEED TO BE SURE THAT ALL OF THE
ORGANIC WAY SECTORS CAN
PARTICIPATE IN THIS BILL. AYE WE
ALSO STRONGLY SUPPORT THE NEED
FOR CHANGE IN THE DEFINITION OF
I AM NOTHING TO BUY A GAS.
BOB PARTICULARLY BIO GAS TO
INCLUDE. THE GASIFICATION OR
PYROLYSIS OR OTHER NON
COMBUSTION THERMAL CONVERSION OF
ORGANIC WASTE WHICH AGAIN IS
ALLOWED UNDER THE OUR PS IS A WE
OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT BY A
GAS IN THE PIPELINE. IF IT
OTHERWISE MEETS PIPELINE
STANDARDS.
AND THE FINAL SUBSTANTIVE ISSUE
WHICH IS A HUGE ONE IS THE RATE
FACING PROVISIONS AND.
I REALLY REALLY ASK THE AUTHOR
AND THIS COMMITTEE TO WORK WITH
ALL OF THE STAKEHOLDERS GOING
FORWARD NOT JUST THE SPONSOR IN
SO CAL GAS.
THIS IS A CRITICAL ISSUE TO GET
RIGHT TO INSURE THAT THERE IS A
COMPETITIVE MARKET GOING
FORWARD.
THAT ALLOWS IN STATE PROJECTS TO
INJECT IN THE PIPELINE THERE A
LOT OF COMPLEXITIES HERE AND
EVERY STAKEHOLDER NEEDS TO BE AT
THE TABLE.
AND THAT BRINGS ME TO MY LAST
ISSUE WHICH IS PROCESS.
EVEN YESTERDAY THE AUTHORS
OFFICE COMMITTED TO WORK WITH A
WIDER GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS
INCLUDING. THE INDUSTRIES THAT
ACTUALLY ARE HERE IN CALIFORNIA
THE PRODUCERS AND IT IN LAST
WEEK FOR HOURS THERE'S BEEN A
LOT OF CONVERSATIONS AND
MEETINGS AND WE STILL HAVE BEEN
INVITED TO THE TABLE. AND AS I
SAID WE REPRESENT THE VAST
MAJORITY OF IN STATE PROJECTS.
WE REALLY NEED A COMMITMENT FROM
THE AUTHOR TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE
KEY STAKEHOLDERS GOING FORWARD.
OR TRUST IN THIS BILL IS JUST
GONNA CONTINUE TO BREAK DOWN. SO
AGAIN WE STRONGLY SUPPORT THE
DIRECTION WE WOULD LIKE TO GET
SUPPORT. TO SUPPORT ON THE BILL
ITSELF.
WE'RE NOT THERE YET OUT AND WE
NEED EVERYONE TO BE AT THE TABLE
TO GET THERE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS JUST
COULD ARGUE WITH CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF SANITATION
AGENCIES AND WE HAVE A SUPPORT
IN CONCEPT POSITION ON THE BILL.
BUT WE THINK THAT ARE BY
OMITTING PROCUREMENT GOAL WILL
HELP TO ESTABLISH A MARKET FOR
THE BY A METHANE GENERATED IN
CAPTURED CURRENTLY AT WASTE
WATER TREATMENT PLANTS IN
CALIFORNIA. WE WOULD LIKE TO
POINT OUT THAT THERE IS NO
PROCUREMENT CATEGORY.
FOR BIO METHANE GENERATED A
WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANTS IN
THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE BILL
ALSO WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO WORK.
AT WITH THE AUTHOR AND SPONSOR
TO REMEDY THIS OMISSION AND
HOPEFULLY AND GET US TO A FULL
SUPPORT POSITIONS SO SOUND LIKE
SOME OF THE AMENDMENTS BEING
DISCUSSED TODAY AND. MAY HELP
WITH THAT HAVE WE ALSO WOULD
AGREE WITH THE COMMENTS FROM THE
BIO ENERGY ASSOCIATION OF
CALIFORNIA REGARDING INCREASING
THE BUCKET FOR AND DIVERT
ORGANIC WASTE AND FOCUSING ON IN
STATE AND BY A METHANE THANK
YOU.
PICKED COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
STRUCK OUT ALL THOSE CATEGORIES
GIVE IT TO.
INCLUDE EVERYBODY IN AIRPORTS I
THINK ONCE EVERYTHING GETS AND
PRINT.
IT MAY ARAMBULA HAVE YOU. THINK
I DON'T WE COVERED A LOT DOUBTS
I THINK WHAT IS THE PREVIOUS
OBJECTION BUT LET'S HEAR FROM
EVERYBODY.
IT'S JUST BEEN GAP OF THE FACT
THAT WE PRESENT YESTERDAY AND
TODAY IN THE RIGHT HASN'T BEEN
THERE'S BEEN SOME FAST MOVING
THING YEAH. RIGHT. HERE AYE THAT
YOU MISTER MEMBERS BY DYLAN
AGAIN REPRESENTING COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT'S OF LOS
ANGELES WE TO HAVE A SUPPORT IN
CONCEPT POSITION AND.
ISSUES ALONG THE LINES OF
PREVIOUSLY BEEN DISCUSSED THANK
YOU.
MICHAEL BOKURA ON BEHALF OF THE
AG ENERGY CONSUMERS ASSOCIATION
WE DID SOME THAT A LETTER OF
QUALIFIED SUPPORT. A BASED ON
THE DISCUSSIONS YESTERDAY AND
TODAY AND NOT KNOWING WHAT THE
AMENDMENTS ARE WERE NOW MOVING
THAT TO A TWEENER CATEGORY. WE
LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO
WORK WITH THE AUTHOR WE SHARE
THE CONCERNS THAT MESS.
LEVIN RAISED THAT THIS BILL IS
BEING DRIVEN BY OUT OF STATE
INTERESTS CURRENTLY TODAY AND
THAT'S A PROBLEM FOR US THAT
REPRESENT. IN STATE BY METHANE
PROJECTS.
MY CLIENTS ARE BUILDING CLOSE TO
EIGHTY PROJECTS IN CALIFORNIA
CURRENTLY ON THE DAIRY SECTOR.
AND FOOD PROCESSING SECTOR AND
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT MOVING
FORWARD THE TWO KEY COMPONENTS
FOR US AS THE MAN ANSWER
CONSIDER.
IT'S GOT A REMAIN IN STATE IN IN
STATE ONLY THERE'S NO VALUE IN
BRINGING AN ADDITIONAL GAS ABOUT
THE STATE. IN FACT THAT
SUGGESTED THIS COMMITTEE AND TO
OTHER AND ASSEMBLY AND SENATE
COMMITTEES. THAT WE TAKE A HARD
LOOK AT THE LOCAL URBAN FEEL
STANDARD PROGRAM AS WELL.
BECAUSE ALL THE GAS IT'S COMING
IN UNDER THAT PROGRAM FOR
TRANSPORTATION FEEL NINETY
PERCENT OF ITS COMING FROM OUT
OF STATE.
AND WE NEED TO CURTAIL THAT WE
NEED TO FOCUS ON HER IN STATE
PROJECTS ARE CLIMATE POLICIES IN
CALIFORNIA.
A VERY EXPENSIVE FOR BUSINESSES
THAT I ALSO REPRESENT A LARGE
NATURAL GAS FUTURES.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
RESOURCES WERE PUTTING INTO
THESE PROGRAMS.
ARE FOCUSED ON IN STATE THAT'S
HOW WE'RE GOING TO ACHIEVE
MISTER LARA I WISH SHE WAS HERE.
FOR THIS CONVERSATION THAT YOU
THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO
ACHIEVE THE AND STATE
REQUIREMENTS THAT MR A ARE SET
OUT. WE CONTINUE TO ALLOW THE
STATE GAS TO COME INTO
CALIFORNIA. OR JUST FLOODING THE
MARKET PREVENTING OUR OWN
PROJECTS FROM HAVING ACCESS TO
MARKETS.
THAT'S THE OTHER KEY INGREDIENT
FOR US MOVING FORWARD NOW HOPE
THE COMMITTEE WILL RECOGNIZE
THAT AS WE CONTINUE TO WORK
MISSED HUESO. THANK YOU THANK
YOU ARM. OPPOSITION.
TO FOURTEEN FORTY AS AMENDED.
THANK YOU SENATOR I'M NOT
FRIEDMAN REPRESENTING THE
UTILITY REFORM NETWORK WE I MEAN
WE SUPPORT THE GOAL OF THIS BILL
AND WE CAN ENDORSE A BIO METHANE
PROCUREMENT OBLIGATION BUT WE
HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT.
MANY OF THE DETAILS IN THE BILL
AND I'LL GO OVER A FEW.
I KNOW THAT SOME OF THEM HAVE
BEEN ADDRESSED IN THE AMENDMENTS
ALTHOUGH THERE'S A BIT OF
AMBIGUITY ABOUT WHAT'S ACTUALLY
GONNA FALL OUT FROM THE
SUBSEQUENT LANGUAGE. FIRST WE WE
DO SUPPORT THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS RELATING TO THE
ALLOCATION OF BIO METHANE
PROCUREMENT FROM DIFFERENT
SOURCES WE THINK THAT'S BEST
LEFT TO HE AGENCIES TO
DETERMINE AND SHOULDN'T BE
HARDWIRED BY STATUTE. I'M ON THE
RIGHT FACING OF UTILITY
INVESTMENTS FOR INTERCONNECTIONS
AND DOWNSTREAM FACILITIES WE SEE
THIS IS A VERY BROAD PROVISION
THAT COULD ENABLE.
A HUGE AMOUNT OF SPENDING ON AND
SPENDING ON FACILITIES THAT
PERHAPS UTILITIES SHOULD NOT BE
OWNING AND OPERATING AND COULD
BE PROVIDED BY COMPETITIVE ON
ENTITIES. MOREOVER ON THAT
PROVISION WOULD OBLIGATE.
THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
TO PERMIT THE RECOVERY OF THOSE
COSTS THROUGH A FIXED CHARGE ON
CUSTOMERS.
THIS IS A MAJOR BREAK FROM LONG
STANDING PRACTICE.
IT RUNS DIRECTLY COUNTER TO
DECADES OF STATE POLICY THAT
DIRECTS THE RECOVERY OF PUBLIC
PURPOSE PROGRAM COSTS
THROUGH USAGE BASED NON BY
POSSIBLE CHARGES.
THE RECOVERY OF THE COSTS OF
THIS ENTIRE PROGRAM WHICH COULD
INCLUDE THE RATE BASED
INVESTMENT BASED ON THE WAY THAT
IT'S WRITTEN.
WOULD BE ECONOMICALLY REGRESSIVE
AND IT WOULD BURDEN THE SMALLEST
RESIDENTIAL USERS OF NATURAL GAS
WITH DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGH
COST.
WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS
PROVISION IS NEEDED. ON TO
ACCOMPLISH THE GOALS OF THE
BILL.
I'M AND WE THINK IT SHOULD BE
ELIMINATED AS RECOMMENDED WE
BELIEVE BY THIS COMMITTEES
ANALYSIS.
WHICH ONE.
A.
ATTY DISCUSSION WHAT A RECOVERY
COST YOU FEEL IS APPROPRIATE.
AMANDA THAT CRITERIA WE'RE NOT
GOING TO DO IT.
CPU SEES HER TO DO IT SO WHAT
ARE THE CRITERIA THAT YOU THINK
THEY'RE MISSING OR WE HAVEN'T
DISCUSSED.
ARMED WITH SEVERAL THINGS FIRST
OF ALL WE THINK THAT THIS BILL
SHOULD ONLY BE REFERENCING
INTERCONNECTION COSTS.
I'M SECOND OF ALL WE THINK THAT
THE BILL SHOULD I'M REFERENCE.
THAT SHOULD ALLOW THE COMMISSION
TO CONSIDER ALTERNATIVES TO RATE
BASED INVESTMENT RACED BIT RATE
BASE THAT UTILITY INVESTMENT IS
LITERALLY THE MOST EXPENSIVE
WAY.
TO RECOVER COSTS FROM CUSTOMERS
AND THERE ARE ALTERNATIVE WAYS
THROUGH EXPENSING OR THIRD PARTY
FINANCING THAT COULD BE MADE
AVAILABLE TO BRING DOWN THE
OVERALL COST OF THE
INTERCONNECTIONS THAT'S PART
ONE.
PART TWO WHICH WOULD WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE BILL
REFERENCES THE LONGSTANDING RATE
MAKING PRINCIPLES THAT ONLY
PRUDENTLY INCURRED INVESTMENT IN
FACILITIES THAT REMAIN USED AND
USEFUL TO CUSTOMERS. MAY BE
RECOVERED ON THIS BILL DIRECTS
FULL COST RECOVERY FROM
RATEPAYERS AND REALLY SKIRTS THE
ISSUE OF WHETHER PRUDENCE IS
GOING TO BE REVIEWED. IT ALSO
DOESN'T ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF
WHAT IF FACILITIES ARE NO LONGER
USED TO SERVE CUSTOMERS.
THERE ARE DECADES OF RATE MAKING
PRECEDENTS AROUND THIS AND THIS
BILL ATTEMPTS TO SET AN ENTIRELY
NEW ONE IF READ A CERTAIN WAY
AND WE THINK THAT THE COMMITTEE
COULD EASILY. OR THE AUTHOR
COULD EASILY AMEND THE BILL TO
ENSURE THAT WE DON'T TOUCH THIS
THIRD RAIL AND THEN FINALLY.
WE DON'T THINK THAT THE BILL
SHOULD BE ADDRESSING THE ISSUE
OF HOW THE CALL SHOULD BE
RECOVERED AND RATES
THE PC HAS FULL DISCRETION
AUTHORITY TO FIGURE THAT OUT
THAT IS THEIR JOB. REQUIRING IT
TO BE DONE THROUGH A FIXED
CHARGE IS VERY TROUBLING FOR US
SO THAT'S.
I DO HAVE ON MORE ISSUES I TO
ADDRESS.
I JUST WANT TO ENDORSE SOME OF
THE CONCERNS RAISED BY OTHER
PARTIES REGARDING GEOGRAPHIC
ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION IN
THIS PROGRAM.
WE THINK ANY EASY WAY TO SOLVE
THIS PROBLEM IS TO CONFORM THE
ELIGIBILITY RULES HERE WITH THE
DEFINITIONS IN PUBLIC UTILITIES
CODE THREE NINETY NINE POINT
TWELVE POINT SIX.
WHICH DEFINE ELIGIBILITY FOR
PIPELINE BILE METHANE UNDER THE
RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARD
PROGRAM A LOT OF EFFORT HAS BEEN
PUT INTO THAT. WE THINK IT'S
EASY TO CONFORM THE DEFINITION
AND ENSURE THAT WERE ON GETTING
THE KINDS OF RESOURCES THAT WE
EXPECT.
THANK YOU CAN AGREE TO THAT
ISN'T OKAY.
I.
THEY DON'T.
NEXT.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
LIKE MANY BRANDON PRICE WITH
CLEAN ENERGY CLEAN ENERGY IS THE
NATION'S LARGEST PROVIDER OF
NATURAL GAS TRANSPORTATION FUEL
WHERE ALSO THE LARGEST PROVIDER
OF RENEWABLE NATURAL GAS AS A
TRANSPORTATION FUEL. AND TWENTY
SEVENTEEN CLEAN ENERGY DELIVERED
EIGHT POINT FIVE BILLION CUBIC
FEET OF OUR ENERGY HERE IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA WHICH
REPRESENTED OVER SIXTY PERCENT
OF THE TOTAL ARE IN G. DELIVERED
TO THE STATE AS A TRANSPORTATION
FUEL.
SO WE'VE BEEN ON RECORD AS A
OFFICIALLY OPPOSE UNLESS MENDED
BECAUSE WE ARE CONCERNED WITH
THE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE THAT'S
AFFORDS THE UTILITIES. WITH
RESPECT TO PROCURING RENEWABLE
NATURAL GAS IN STATE WITH THE
PROTECTION OF RATE BASE.
AND ALSO WE'RE HEAR TO ADDRESS
THE ISSUE ALSO RAISED BY MISTER
BROKEN ARROW.
IN TERMS OF THE CALIFORNIA
TRANSPORTATION FUEL MIX RIGHT
NOW. IS ALL SERVE BY NON
CALIFORNIA SOURCES OF RENEWABLE
NATURAL GAS AND TWENTY SEVEN
TWENTY SEVENTEEN.
AIR BE REPORTED THAT THERE WAS
TWENTY ONE POINT SIX BILLION
CUBIC FEET OF NATURAL GAS
FUELING INFRASTRUCTURE IN
CALIFORNIA SIXTY SIX PERCENT OF
THAT WAS FILLED WITH RENEWABLE
NATURAL GAS.
AND AS YOU'VE HEARD ALL OF
NEARLY ALL WAS SOURCE FROM OUT
OF STATE AND TWENTY EIGHTEEN
THAT SATURATION REYES GONNA JUMP
UP TO NINETY PERCENT.
NOW THAT'S A GREAT SOARING A
GREAT SUCCESS AND ARE YOU
DEVELOP MARKET FOR ARE IN G. BUT
IS DEATHLY UNDERSERVED BECAUSE
IT'S BEING SERVE WITH HIGHER
CARBON INCENSE RENEWABLE NATURAL
GAS SOURCE FROM NON CALIFORNIA
SOURCES.
THE GOAL NOW IS TO TURN TO
CALIFORNIA SOURCES OF RENEWABLE
NATURAL GAS TO. DELIVER END TO
THIS ROBUST AND FUELING MARKET.
AND AS IT'S BEEN AS IT'S BEEN
SHOWN REAL NATURAL GAS IS BEST
USED AS A TRANSPORTATION FUEL IN
TERMS OF GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS. AND AIR BE HAS
RECORDED.
SOME DERRY DIE JUST FOR PROJECTS
IN CALIFORNIA TO HAVE A NEGATIVE
WELL TO WHEELS CARBON INTENSITY
SCORE WHICH MAKES IT THE
CLEANERS ON ROAD FEEL VIABLE
TODAY.
AND IN TERMS OF BENEFITS BOTH
FOR THE CRITERIA POLLUTANT ARE
THE SHORT LIVED LIVELY IN
STRATEGY AND THEN ALSO WHEN IT'S
DELIVERED AS A TRANSPORTATION
FUEL IN A LOAN OXYGEN.
SO ARE CONCERNED WITH THIS BILL
IS BI THE RATE BASING
INTERCONNECT COSTS AND
FACILITATING ACCESS THE PIPING
FOR RG PROJECTS IS LIMITED TO
THE PROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTS
LIVE AT THE UTILITIES IF THE
UTILITIES ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO.
OFFER PROCUREMENT CONTRACTS
ALONG WITH THOSE INTERCONNECT
BECAUSE IT LIMITS THE ABILITY
pENERGY AND OTHERS TO DELIVER
THAT GAS THE TRANSPORTATION FUEL
MARKET THAT IS IN DESPERATE NEED
OF THIS CALIFORNIA. SOURCE OF
ORANGEY.
AND AGAIN HE SPOKE YESTERDAY AND
YESTERDAY I I. ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT WE TOOK AMENDMENTS TO GET
TO.
RESOLVE HIS ISSUES WHILE.
WE LOOK FOR TO WORK WITH AND
MAKE SURE THEY FULLY DO.
DULY NOTED.
YOU KNOW I I JUST IS IS IT'S A
IT'S A BIG ISSUE BECAUSE IF. IF
MARKETERS IT
SERVING MARINO IN THE
TRANSPORTATION FUEL SPACING
CALIFORNIA ARE NOT ABLE TO
ACCESS CALIFORNIA SOURCES OF
RENEWABLE NATURAL GAS BECAUSE
THEY'RE DELIVERED TO THE COR
PORTFOLIO.
THEN THAT TRANSPORTATION FUEL
NETWORK WILL CONTINUE TO BE
SUPPLIED BY NON CALIFORNIA
SOURCES OF OUR ENGINE THAT'S
BELIEVE ME THAT'S A BIG ISSUE
FOR ME TOO I'M SURE TO THE
MEMBERS RIGHT WELL I THINK
THAT'S THE. GOAL THAT INCLUDING
ALL THE BIO MAT THINGS SOURCES
IN HERE THAT THAT WE'RE GOING TO
LET THE MARKET.
AND THE THE CREEK WHERE THE BILL
DID CERTAINTY FOR YOU TO CREATE
THE MARKET WHETHER IT'S.
COMBUSTIBLE OR FUELS OR THAT ARE
PUTTING INTO LINE DEBTS
HOPEFULLY THE.
AMENDMENTS WITH THE AIRPORT AT.
AYE IN THE P. UC WORKING
TOGETHER THAT THIS WE'RE GOING
TO GET IT RIGHT BUT.
I'M.
OKAY BECKETT OTHER SUPPOSED.
PETROL TO THE CALIFORNIA
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES ASSOCIATION
RE REPRESENT OVER FORTY AT
PUBLICLY OWNED ELECTRIC
UTILITIES ACROSS THE STATE. MANY
OF OUR MEMBERS OWN AND OPERATE
THEIR OWN NATURAL GAS POWER
PLANTS IN THERE FOR CUSTOMERS OF
THE GAS CORPORATIONS WITHIN THE
STATE. AND WE SUPPORT AB BROAD
POLICIES TO REDUCE. GREENHOUSE
GASES ACROSS DIFFERENT SECTORS

THOUGHTFULLY AS I CAN.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON RECYCLED

ALLOWED THE STATE WATER
RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD TO FORCE

ABLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN APPEARS
THAT IS RELATIVELY SUCCESSFUL.
THIS THIS THIS MEASURE MEARS
THAT IDEAS IT RELATES TO WASTE
WATER WHERE YOU'VE GOT THE LAST

CHALLENGE WITH RESPECT SEWER

SECONDS. I COME FROM THE CREATOR
COMMUNITY OF AN AIR HEAD AND
WHERE AN EXAMPLE OF WHY WE NEED

THIS IS BUT A MAN THAT. WAS JUST
FIVE YEARS ABOUT A FEW ON.
A LINEAR DEPENDS ON SEPTIC

OTHER PODCASTS AS ARE THEIR
FAILING.
IT'S ACOSTA MOTHERLODE BEACON
THEM IN A SEA OWN NEARLY AS WELL
A FAMILIAR.
THIS CAUSES BAD ODOR AND IT
CONTAMINATES AND AND PROVIDES
RISK TO FAMILIES.
IT IS ALSO YES THEY MARK BALLAS
HONORABLE BIKA.
AND IT'S A BIG PUBLIC HEALTH
RISK.
BUT THE LOOK OF UNIT INSISTS
THEY MUST SKEPTICAL CONDEMNING
THE LADY ALLOW WHAT. BECAUSE
WHAT COMES OUT OF THE SEPTIC
SYSTEM CONTAMINATES BOTH AIR AND
WATER OUT IF THEM WITH THEIR
HANDS BUT IF THERE ARE NAY MY
LESS THAN EQUAL ALLOW ONE. RIGHT
NOW ARE ALSO WORKING ON THE
ISSUE OF ARSENIC ON OUR WATER
RESTING UPON A MOST AKSYON IT OF

AND SAID SHE WAS A BIG THEM RISK
TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH NASTY
THOUGH STILL CYDIA CONNECT
THAT'LL SCOLDED EVEN THEN.
TO GIVE US THAT KIND THE MOST A
COMMITTEE THAT THE SOLUTION
WOULD BE TO CONNECT TO THE
COMMUNITY OF RIVERDALE WITCHES
CLOSE BY TO THE COMMUNITY OF
WHEN THEY'RE. FEDERAL LAW
VIETNAM LOOK AT LEAST NOT
DEMOCRACY ON. BOTTOM MUSCLES THE
ON.
BUT THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAVEN'T
TAKEN ACTION ON THIS
SOLUTION OR LOOK ON THE LITTLE
HOW MOST PHYLLIS THAT'LL OPERATE
MAYES BELLY BY A PARADE THAT OF
ANY.
AND FOR THIS REASON WE ASK THAT
THE STATE AM TAKE ACTION AND
INTERVENE. THE EXECUTIVE DECAL
MANY OTHERS PIC WHEN SOMEONE

ISABEL SPOKE ELOQUENTLY OF
ISSUE THAT'S IMPACTING HUNDREDS
AND HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE IT IS A
STATEWIDE ISSUE BASED ON
INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE TO DATE
THERE'S HUNDREDS OF COMMUNITIES
BOTH POCKETS AND. SOME FURTHER
FONG COMMUNITIES ARE DEALING
WITH LEACHING SEPTIC SYSTEMS.
HONESTLY CESSPOOLS FOR LACK OF
A BETTER WORD ON HUNDREDS IN THE
IN THE COACHELLA VALLEY WHERE WE
WORK HUNDRED SET THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY AND ON THE CENTRAL COAST
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
.
THE ONLY THE ONLY OTHER ISSUE
ISM SPEAKING OF POCKETS I THINK
WE TALKED ABOUT FRESNO. A COUPLE
OF YEARS AGO AND IT A SIMILAR
ISSUE AND I JUST RECEIVED AN
EMAIL THAT ONE OF OUR CLIENTS
AND SEPTIC SYSTEMS BACKED UP
LAST NIGHT. OR ANY PULLED OUT ON
HAD TO PUT ALL OF US.

BUT I'M HERE AS A MADE MEMBER

THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE ALLIANCE STRUGGLING
SPORT THANK YOU.
JAY ZIEGLER NATURE CONSERVANCY
IN SUPPORT.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS I'M JUST CA.GOV AT
THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
SANITATION AGENCIES. I'M HERE
TODAY WITH THE WORK WITH AUTHOR
POSITION ON THE BELL AND WE'VE
BEEN PROVIDING SOME FEEDBACK IN.
SOME STAKEHOLDER CONVERSATIONS
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS
SINCE THE.
BILL WAS INTRODUCED WE
CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE RECENT
AMENDMENTS THAT WERE TAKEN THAT
WENT A LONG WAY TO ADDRESS SOME
OF THE INITIAL CONCERNS THAT WE
HAD RAISED WITH THE BILL. AND
AND I DO DO A STATE THAT WE
CERTAINLY SYMPATHIZE WITH THE
INTENT OF THE BILL WITH THE.
ISSUES THAT THE FEELINGS SEPTIC
SYSTEMS AND DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES.
AND UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A
NEED.
TEXT AND SERVICE.
UNDER THE APPROPRIATE CONDITION
SO A COUPLE OF ISSUES THAT WE
HAVE FLAG THAT NEED SOME FURTHER
CONSIDERATION INCLUDE.
ADEQUATE FUNDING FOR BOTH THE
PROGRAM AND IN EACH INDIVIDUAL
CIRCUMSTANCE EACH INDIVIDUAL
COMMUNITY.
WHERE THE SERVICE THAT
EXTENSIONS NEED TO OCCUR THERE
NEEDS TO BE FUNDING AVAILABLE
AND? AND AND SOME FURTHER
REFINEMENT OF SOME OF THE
DEFINITIONS THAT ARE IN THE
BILL.
AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT
THAT THE CERVIX THAT SERVICE
EXTENSIONS. ARE PRETTY
COMPLICATED AND IN PARTICULAR
BECAUSE MOST SEWER AND WASTE
WATER PROVIDERS HAVE NO
RESPONSIBILITY OVER PRIVATE
SEWER LATERALS BEYOND THE PUBLIC
RIGHT AWAY. SO FOR THIS REASON.
SERVICE EXTENSIONS REQUIRE
SUBSTANTIAL. PRIVATE PROPERTY
IMPROVEMENTS AND THAT REQUIRES A
LOT OF BUY IN FROM THE WHOLE
COMMUNITY LITERALLY AND
FIGURATIVELY AND WE LOOK FORWARD
TO WORKING WITH THE SPONSORS AND
THE AUTHOR AS THE BILL MOVES
FORWARD AND. I THINK YOU FOR.
TAKING THE MOTION WOULD BE TO
REFER TO.
GOVERNANCE AND FINANCE WHICH TO.
DIRECTLY AFFECTED.
ENTRANCE YOUR PHRASE BUT THANK
YOU LEX.
OR SHOULD.
BUT MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS MY
NAME IS MARYANN WARMER DAMN I
REPRESENT THE REAL COUNTY
REPRESENTATIVES OF CALIFORNIA.
AND WE ARE CERTAINLY SYMPATHETIC
TO THE ISSUES ITS OF SOMETHING
THAT HAS BEDEVILED ARE COUNTIES.
MANY OF THEM ARE HOME TO THE
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE ARE BEING
DISCUSSED TODAY. AND.
FRANKLY IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT TO
FIND A RESOLUTION I WOULD JUST
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PRIOR
SPEAKER HAS ARTICULATE SOME OF
THE SAME CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE.
NAMELY THAT THE FINANCING THAT'S
ASSOCIATED WITH BRINGING THESE
SYSTEMS ONBOARD AND HOW DO WE DO
THAT EQUITABLY. THANK YOU.
OTHERS IN A PROPOSED TO WORK. SP
TWELVE FIFTEEN.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING BRING IT
BACK QUESTIONS THUNDERSTONE
ETHIC YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN I
THANK YOU SENATOR HERTZBERG FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD.
.
IN MY TERM AS A COUNTY
SUPERVISOR IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY
WE HAD AN AREA THAT I GOVERNMENT
CALLED CALLED VALLEY.
WHICH IS ADJACENT TO NOW WHAT IS
NOW THE CITY OF MENIFEE AND.
THE AREA HAD A LOT OF.
POVERTY AND.
.
WE HAVE SUCH SIGNIFICANT RAINS
THAT.
IT BECAUSE A LOT OF SEWAGE TO
COME UP OUT OF THE GROUND. AND
CONTENTMENT CONTAMINATED DOT
CANYON LAKE THAT HAD TO BE
QUARANTINED.
IN ADDITION TO THAT THE.
ONE OF THE SPEAKERS MENTIONED
THE COACHELLA VALLEY WE HAD A.
A PLACE CALLED DORAVILLE NEW
WHICH WAS.
.
A PLACE FOR A LOT OF MIGRANT
WORKERS IT WAS OVER POPULATED
NOT A APPROPRIATE SEWAGE SYSTEMS
THERE. THAT WE ACTUALLY HAD
ALMOST CAN DOWN. AND A RELOCATE
PEOPLE TO TO FIX THE SYSTEMS
THAT WERE THERE TO.
HELP ENHANCE THE. HEALTH AND
SAFETY OF THE RESIDENTS THAT
WERE WHERE THERE SO.
THOSE POCKETS AT THE THE
CHAIRMAN TALKED ABOUT IS.
A LOT IN THE EASTERN COACHELLA
VALLEY NOT THE ON THE ANZA ALONG
AREAS CENTER.
ALL ON SEPTIC.
ARE ALL VULNERABLE TO TO THESE
KINDS OF ISSUES.
AND SO.
I APPRECIATE THAT YOU COME
FORWARD WITH A SOLUTION AND.
I'D BE HAPPY WITH THE BILL.
THESE A VERY MUCH HAVE A MOTION
CENTER STERN.
SAME AS CHAIR.
ONE IS GET YOUR THOUGHTS ON ON
THIS QUESTION THIS
IT'S FINANCING SHOPPERS IN THE
NEEDS NEEDS THERE BUT JUST.
I MEAN I KNOW WE WE TALKED ABOUT
IT EARLIER IN CENTER STONE
BROUGHT UP IN THE CONTEXT OF.
THERE'S NO SAFETY NET FOR LOW
INCOME WATER USERS RIGHT NOW
THEY'RE GETTING HUNG OUT.
MINING'S TRYING TO SOLVE SOME
ISSUES IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY HIS
SOLUTION IS POLL FROM THE URBAN
AREAS AND WILL PAY FOR IT OUT OF
LA TO FIX
YOU KNOW CHUNK OF THE ISSUE.
AND AND SO. THIS THE STATEWIDE
ISSUES READING YOU COULD DRAW ON
THE GENERAL FUND BUT I THINK
WERE SCURRYING STILL THE
FUNDAMENTAL CHALLENGE WHICH IS
TO EIGHTEEN.
AND I KNOW YOU'VE GOT A
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT SITTING
WITH YOU BUT I I SAW SOME OF THE
LANGUAGE YOU INCLUDED HERE TODAY
TO SORT OF TRY TO.
HUGH DID TO EIGHTEEN YOU'RE
SAYING. IN.
ON PAGE SIX THE BILL YOU'RE. THE
RECEIVING SEWER CUSTOMER SHALL
NOT INCREASED CHARGES SOLELY AS
A CONSEQUENCE IT WITHOUT A
CORRESPONDING BENEFIT CAN'T
CHARGE RATE TO NEWLY ABSORB
CUSTOMERS THAT ARE HIGHER THAN
THOSE NECESSARY TO PROVIDE
SUTURES.
YOU GET HE I KEEP STAND IN THAT
LANE TO SAY TRENTINI COMPLIANT
BUT IT'S AN AWKWARD ARRANGEMENT
BREAD BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO
GET STUCK WITHIN THAT THAT TWO
EIGHTEEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
LOOK ELSEWHERE SO. JUST I KNOW
IT'S EARLY YET WE WANT TO SEE
THIS THING KEY MOVE OF WHAT IT
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS RIGHT NOW
ON. ON HOW WE TACKLE THIS DO WE
HAVE TO SOLVE THE BIGGEST WAY TO
EIGHTEEN. BETTY COME I SURE
WOULD DIE YOU KNOW MIGHT MIGHT
MIGHT RIGHT I DO HAVE A BILL ON
THAT FOR THAT EXACT PURPOSE IN
TERMS OF RATE SO THAT YOU CAN.
AND PROVIDE BASIC DECENCY
THAT'S THAT ONE OF THE REASONS
WHY HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT. THEY SURE HECK WOULD
LIKE TO MOVE BUT. BUT IN THE
MEANTIME LOOK.
YOU'VE GOT THIS URGENT PROBLEM
BY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE RIGHT
JUST URGENT PROBLEM IT MANIFESTS
IN BIGGER WAY BY VIRTUE OF THE
STATE BOARDS REGULATIONS THE
FEDERAL ALL VARIOUS.
CIRCUMSTANCES NUMBER ONE NUMBER
TWO IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
FINANCES.
GOTO COMMITTED ARE SEPTIC TANKS
AND.
YOU KNOW IF THEY HAVE THE OF
THOSE POLLED OTHERS A PROBLEM
THE COSTS ARE SO DRAMATIC.
SO THE QUESTION BECOMES EVEN IF
THERE'S A FEE THAT'S CHARGED
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY TO EIGHTEEN
THE FIESTA RELATE TO THE SERVICE
OF THE PROPERTY WE KNOW WE CAN
DO A FEE FOR THAT WE CAN HAVE A
FEE THAT WE CHARGE ON SOMEBODY
ELSE AND PASS IT ON. SO LOOK YOU
KNOW YOU WOULD WE'RE WE'RE
BASICALLY A LET'S BE SMART ABOUT
THIS BE LET'S GIVE THE FRAMEWORK
TO THE BOARD TO BE ABLE TO START
DEALING WITH THE PROCESS
ULTIMATELY. IT YOU KNOW
OBVIOUSLY AQUA ON THE MINING
SITUATION THEY WANT TO JUST HAVE
THE GENERAL FUND PAY FOR IT
RIGHT THAT'S THEIR THEORY IS
THAT OF AN ADDITIONAL FEE. IN
URBAN AREAS IT'S A IT'S LARGER
DEBATE BUT BUT FROM MY
STANDPOINT I I I DON'T I DON'T
HAVE A GIGANTIC ANSWER THAT'S
BEYOND THE FACT THAT. THEY
THERE'S AN URGENCY WE GOTTA MOVE
ON IT BE WE STARTED A PROCESS
WITH THE NECESSARY AGENCIES THAT
IS PROVEN TO WORK WELL WITH
RESPECT TO FRESH DRINKING WATER.
ARE A AND WE'RE GOING TO GET TO
YOU THAT THE GOODNESS WILL BE
HERE NEXT YEAR AND THEREAFTER
AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THESE THINGS ARE GRAPPLE WITH
THESE HARD FINANCING PROBLEMS.
WHAT WILL BE HERE WITH YOU AS
ONE OF FROM YOUR SPONSORS SETS A
SCOPE ON OVERALL BECAUSE WE'RE
TO MEET ALL THE DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES NEEDS?
I MEAN WE WERE GIVING ZERO ONE
PROJECT LIKE WHEN WHEN CENTERS
DON'T START MED DURO BILL MOVES
ARE A YOU KNOW. WHAT WHAT WHAT
DOES IT TAKE TO TO GET OUT THERE
AND?
SO EVEN JUST.
IT THE MOST URGENT AT THE VERY
TOP OF THE LIST LIKE WHERE. IT
WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT A COUPLE
THAT ARE RIGHT NOW ON THE TEN TO
FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLAR SCOPE ON
THAT SO A FAIRLY CLOSE
CONNECTICUT CONNECTION WITHIN A
MILE. COMMUNITY OF ABOUT TWO TWO
TO FOUR HUNDRED CONNECTIONS.
ON THE.
TO AN END TO KIND OF INTO IT TO
ALSO ADDRESS YOUR OTHER
QUESTION.
WE THAT'S THOSE ARE BIG
COMMUNITIES THAT'S THAT'S.
FULLY SCOPED WITH THE CAPACITY
FEE IN THE CONNECTION FEE.
THE.
WHAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
WERE STRUGGLING WITHIN?
AND THOSE OF YOU LUCKY TO HEAR A
LOCAL GOVERNMENT NEXT WEEK YOU
MIGHT HEAR THIS IS THAT SEVERAL
OF THE COMMUNITIES WERE WORKING
WITH THERE ACTUALLY IS MONEY. ON
THE TABLE
SECURE FROM THE STATE BOARD
THROUGH PROP ONE OF THE S. R.
F..

COORDINATE THE STATE'S
PUBLICLY ENERGY PROGRAMS AND
WILL BE A CENTRAL POINT OF

INSIDE AND OUTSIDE STATE
GOVERNMENT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND.

THIS CALIFORNIA ENERGY
COMMISSION HAS DOCUMENTED THAT
THE STATE WILL NEED TENS OF
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND PRIVATE
CAPITAL.
TO ACHIEVE THE STATE'S AMBITIOUS
ENERGY EFFICIENCY GOALS JUST THE
ENERGY EFFICIENCY GOALS.
THE STATE WILL NEED SOME DEFINE
SOME OR AMOUNTS OF CAPITAL TO
ADDRESSES TRANSPORTATION
ELECTRIFICATION AND GREETED DE
CARBONIZATION GOALS.
THE STATE'S MANY PROGRAMS WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO SPEED OUR
TRANSITION TO A CLEAN ENERGY
FINDINGS FEATURE ALONE.

NECESSARY IT'S A PREREQUISITE
REALLY TO THE DEPLOYMENT OF
PRIVATE CAPITAL IS SENATOR STERN
BRIEFLY MENTION.
THE PRIVATE SECTOR WILL NEED TO
FOLLOW ALONG AND HELP MULTIPLIED
THE PUBLIC SECTOR'S INVESTMENT.
AND THAT REQUIRES KNOWING.
THE PUBLIC SECTOR IS DOING.
COORDINATION OF PUBLIC SECTOR
PROGRAMS LED BY CLEARING HOUSE
CITY CAN ENGAGE WITH COMPANIES
DISTRIBUTORS WHOLESALE
CUSTOMERS.
AND CAPITAL PROVIDERS CAN HELP
US ENSURE WE MEET OUR STATE
CLIMATE AND CLEAN AIR GOALS.
I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO STRESS THAT
THIS IS NOT A NEW PROGRAM.
THAT IS NOT THE INTENTION.
OF THIS SPELL AND CERTAINLY.
THE SPEAKING FROM THE BUSINESS
COMMUNITY'S PERSPECTIVE.
WE'RE NOT IN THE BUSINESS OF
CALL. FOR MORE STATE
BUREAUCRACY.
SO INSTEAD THIS IS REALLY A
MEANS TO MAKE EXISTING PROGRAMS
MORE EFFICIENT.
I THINK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
ALAN GORDON I'M ON BEHALF.
I'M IT CLIMATIC AND.
CLIMATE BUDGET INITIATIVES AND
INVESTOR FOCUSED INTERNATIONAL
AND
DO YOU KNOW THAT.
HAS WORKED IN DRIVING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE GLOBAL GREEN
ITS MARKET AND THEY WORK WITH
THE UNITED NATIONS IN DEVELOPING
THE GREEN BONTA PRINCIPLE.
AND THE THE.
THE BEST ESTIMATE IS WE NEED.
ABOUT NINETY TRILLION DOLLARS
WORLDWIDE THE NEXT TWENTY FIVE
YEARS IF WE ARE GOING TO AVOID
HITTING THAT MAGICAL TWO DEGREES
CENTIGRADE INCREASE.
ARM.
THEY EITHER BY THE CLIENT IS A
SMALL COMPANY THAT HAS JUST COME
TO CALIFORNIA AND WAS LOOKING AT
THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS
WE HAVE.
AND FOUND IT ALMOST IMPENETRABLE
TO FIGURE OUT WHERE THEY NEEDED
TO GO WHICH IS WHY THEY CONTACT
THE SILICON VALLEY LEADERSHIP
GROUP FOR HELP.
ARM.
YES THERE'S LOTS OF PROGRAMS IN
CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT BUT I I
RECENTLY LEFT A POSITION AS A
DEPUTY TREASURER WITH STATE
TREASURER'S OFFICE. AND I WILL
TELL YOU.
IT IS THERE IS NO ONE PLACE THE
TREASURER SITS ON THE AYE BANK
THE I BANK AND THE C. E. C. AND
THE CP YOU SEE ALL WORK ON THESE
THAT'S NOT EVEN MENTIONING THE I
BOARD THE OF THE.
V. YEAH AYE BANK THE YESTERDAY
TO GROWTH COUNCIL THE OFFICE OF
PLANNING AND RESEARCH.
DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND ALL OF
THE DIFFERENT PLACES THE SIT.
BUT TO REITERATE THIS IS A NEW
GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS IS A GOOD
GOVERNMENT BILL WHICH IS EXACTLY
WHAT WE NEED SO THAT IF YOU WERE
A.
BUSINESS PERSON IN SANTA CRUZ OR
FREMONT OR THE MARINO VALLEY YOU
WOULD BE ABLE TO GO TO A WEBSITE
EVENTUALLY AND FIND ONE PLACE
WHERE YOU HAVE ALL OF THESE
FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITIES.
AVAILABLE ONLY ONE LAST EXAMPLE
RIGHT NOW IN THE BUDGET THERE'S
A POSSIBLE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS CITIES THEY ARE. TO HELP
THE DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL
SERVICES DO ENERGY RETROFITS ON
STATE BUILDINGS.
HUNDRED MILLION IT'S A GRANT
IF INSTEAD OF USING THE HUNDRED
MILLION THAT WE YOU WERE TO TAKE
TWENTY FIVE MILLION UP AND PUT
IT INTO A CREDIT SUPPORT SYSTEM.
YOU CAN MULTIPLY THAT YOU CAN
USE A MULTIPLIER OF ABOUT TEN TO
ONE. MEANING THAT FOR TWENTY
FIVE FOR TWENTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS YOU CAN ABOUT TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS WORTH OF ENERGY
EFFICIENT UPGRADES RATHER THAN
DOING IT AS A GRANT. THIS
CLEARINGHOUSE IN THE WAY SENATOR
STERN HAS DRAFTED THE BILL WOULD
ALLOW US TO LOOK AT THOSE
VARIOUS WAYS OF FINANCING THESE
THINGS. GREINER OF TAX DOLLARS
OUT THERE TO DO IT NEEDS TO BE
DONE AND THE ABILITY TO ATTRACT
PRIVATE CAPITAL TO BRING IN
INVESTMENT BANKERS.
THAT'S ORGAN GO AND THIS BILL
WILL BE A VERY MAJOR STEP IN
GETTING IN THAT DIRECTION THANK
YOU.

WE NEED TO ADD NEW STOCK TO THE

AND DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES IN
ALL COMMUNITIES.
AND THAT STOCK WERE ADDING TO
OUR HOUSING FLEET.
SHOULD BE. AS
AFFORDABLE AS POSSIBLE NOT JUST
UP FRONT BUT OWN A LONG TERM
BASIS FOR A HOMEOWNER OR AN

IN THE BEST WAY WE CAN REDUCE
THAT IS BY INVESTING NOW. IN IN

.
ADD MORE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AT
NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND FIND WAYS
TO ACTUALLY.
FINANCE SOME PROJECTS THAT GOOD
DEVELOPERS OUT THERE ARE
PURSUING THAT ACTUALLY WANT TO
DO CUTTING EDGE WORK AYE WHETHER
IT'SIN HEAT PUMPS OR MICRO
GRIDS DISTRIBUTED GENERATION AND
ON SITE.
WASTE ISSUES THERE'S ALL KINDS
OF EXCITING OPPORTUNITIES OUT
THERE SO WE HOPE THIS BILL AS IT
IS A GOOD CARE TO KEEP THINGS
MOVING AND.
WE THINK BUILDING ON THE NEW
SOLAR HOMES PARTNERSHIP AND
REALLY GOING BEYOND JUST A SOLAR
FOCUS AND JUST SAYING LET'S GET
SO LEARN EVERY NEW HOME IT'S
GONNA BE BIGGER THAN THAT.
CORRECTION TACKLE THIS IS NOT
JUST ABOUT PUT THE PANEL ON
EVERY HOME IT'S ABOUT TRYING TO
FIND OUT ON A COMMUNITY BY
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BY
DEVELOPMENT BASIS. HOW TO
ACTUALLY SQUEEZE MUCH CARBON AS
WE CANNOT OF IT SO WE GOT A
PRETTY INTERESTING DIVERSE
COALITION HERE?
BUILDERS ENVIRONMENTAL
ORGANIZATIONS.
ARCHITECTS ETCETERA SO
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE AND THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR
THEIR WORK IN ALTERNATE OVER TO
THE WITNESSES LET'S TURN IT OVER
TO THE BICKERED AND SOLAR
COALITION PLEASE FOR.
OF MY NAME'S MARIAN BERGESON
WITH NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE
COUNCIL NRDC.
WHERE IN STRONG SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL?
WE'VE LOOKED AT VARIOUS WAYS OF
ENCOURAGING MARKET DEVELOPMENT
OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND WE'VE
DONE THIS IN CALIFORNIA MANY
TIMES BEFORE WE'VE ON THIS
AROUND THE COUNTRY THINGS LIKE
THE. CALIFORNIA SOLAR
INITIATIVE.
OTHER INCENTIVES WERE YOU YOU
ENCOURAGE THE EARLY ADOPTERS TO
GET OUT THERE AND ACTUALLY GET
THE EXPERIENCE NEEDED TO PROVE A
TECHNOLOGY OR IN THIS CASE A SET
UP TO KNOCK TECHNOLOGIES A WAY
OF BUILDING.
SO IN THIS BILL WERE NOT
REQUIRING ANYTHING OF ANYONE
WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THE
CALIFORNIA A BUILDERS ARCHITECTS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS WE
ARE DEPENDING ON THOSE FOLKS
INGENUITY TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO
REDUCE EMISSIONS FROM BUILDINGS
AND AS. A SENATOR STERN MENTION
THERE'S A LOT OF TECHNOLOGIES
THAT CAN DO THAT.
WE NEED TO BUILD OUR BUILDINGS
RIGHT THE FIRST TIME SO THAT
WHEN THOSE BUILDINGS ARE STILL
AROUND TWENTY FIFTY THEIR VERY
LOW CARBON BUILDING STILL.
STARTING WITH NEW BUILDINGS IS
REALLY THE PLACE TO BE BECAUSE
OF THE LOW COST OF DOING THIS
RIGHT THE FIRST TIME AND MAKING
SURE THAT. WE HAVE WELL
INSULATED HOUSES WITH THE RIGHT
TECHNOLOGIES IN THEM TO BEST USE
ELECTRICITY FROM THE GRID AND
OTHER ENERGY RESOURCES.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE HAVE
BUILDERS AYE DESIGNERS AND
ARCHITECTS IN OUR STATE WHO ARE
ALREADY DOING THIS.
AND THEY ARE SMALL FRACTION OF
THE MARKET RIGHT NOW ON THE BEST
WAY TO LAUNCH A PROGRAM LIKE
THIS TO ACTUALLY MOVE THE MARKET
IS TO ACTUALLY HAVE A FEW GREAT
EXAMPLES THAT YOU CAN START
WITH.
THAT ARE AFFORDABLE CLEAN HIGH
QUALITY BUILDINGS THAT YOU CAN
SAY WE BE MORE LIKE THIS GOOD
EXPERIENCE WITH THOSE TYPES OF
BUILDINGS. AND THEN EXPANDED TO
MASS MARKET SOME HAPPY TODAY TO
BE HERE WITH BUILDERS AND
ARCHITECTS WHO OFFER THOSE
EXAMPLES ON SUCH A GREAT WAY TO
JUST SORT OF PUSH INNOVATION IN
CALIFORNIA. AND WAY THAT AGAIN
THE DOES REQUIRE ANYTHING THAT
ENCOURAGES THIS SORT OF LEADING
EDGE OF NEW BUILDINGS IN THE
STATE.
LET'S START WITH THE ARCHITECT
AND THEN GO TO THE BUILDERS.
JUMPS ACROSS USUALLY WRITE ORDER
THAT'S THE GOOD OR GOOD
AFTERNOON.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO US
TODAY.
MY NAME'S TO THE EAST OF BILL
I'M WITH E. HDD ARCHITECTS.
SEVENTY YEAR OLD.
FIRM COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING
CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH THE
REDUCTION OF BUILDING EMISSIONS.
IT'S REALLY IN BUILT IN OUR DNA
AND HAS BEEN FROM THE BEGINNING
OF OUR FOR. SO WE ALWAYS LOOK AT
THE MOST PRACTICAL APPROPRIATE
WAY TO ADDRESS HOW WE'RE GOING
TO DESIGN A BUILDING.
SO I'M HERE REPRESENTING.
MY COLLEAGUES AND OUR CLIENTS
IN THE COMMERCIAL AND
INSTITUTIONAL BUILT ENVIRONMENT
TO SUPPORT THIS BILL BEFORE YOU.
WE'VE DEFINED.
AND BUILT DOZENS OF ZERO
EMISSION BUILDINGS INCLUDING
SCHOOLS WHOLE CAMPUSES OFFICE
BUILDINGS AND STUDENT HOUSING.
WITH AN EMPHASIS ON GOOD DESIGN
AND A COMMITMENT.
WE HAVE PROOF THAT ZERO
EMISSIONS ARE CHEAPER BALL FOR
MOST NEW BUILDINGS INCLUDING
HOMES
SO WE DO BIGGER LARGER MORE
COMPLEX BUILDINGS AND IT CAN BE
DONE THERE.
I'M INNOVATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY
AND MANUFACTURING HAVE REALLY
ADVANCE SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE
LAST TEN YEARS. WHAT WE HAVE NOW
ARE OFF THE SHELF COMPONENTS IN
EQUIPMENT THAT A RELIABLE?
ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE.
IN FACT COST ESTIMATORS WE WORK
WITH TO BUDGET PROJECTS AND THE
GENERAL CONTRACTORS WHO REPORT
TO US AFTER THE IT BUILT THE
BUILDING IS DONE.
SAY THERE'S NO COST DIFFERENCE
AND IN FACT THERE CAN BE A
SAVINGS.
OR AT LEAST COST NEUTRAL.
SO HOWEVER THE MYTH OF HIGHER
COSTS PROCESS
SO THIS LEGISLATION CAN HELP
INCENTIVIZE EVERY NEW BUILDING
PROJECT.
NO MOST OF OUR CLIENTS HAVE
GOALS POLICIES OR STRONG DESIRES
TO REDUCE THEIR CARBON
EMISSIONS.
THEY CAN MAKE A MODEST
DIFFERENCE BY HOW THEY OPERATE
THEIR BUILDINGS
BUT WHAT MAKES THE BIGGEST
DIFFERENCE IS HOW THE BUILDINGS
ARE DESIGNED.
COUPLE OF QUICK EXAMPLES.
WE HAVE A.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN MARIN.
AND IT'S NOT ZERO EMISSIONS.
NETZERO ELECTRIC
THERE WAS NO ADDED COST
TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN FOR THEM.
ANOTHER CLIENT UC SAN DIEGO ARE
CURRENTLY DESIGNING OF SCIENCE
AND INNOVATION BUILDING FOR
THEM.
AND WE ARE SAVING ONE POINT FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS BY USING
ELECTRIC HEAT PUMPS.
JUST A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES IT
HAPPENS AND RENOVATIONS AS WELL
WE DESIGNED.
THE EXPLORATORIUM IN SAN
FRANCISCO RENOVATION ON A
HISTORIC PIER.
IT'S NOT ZERO ELECTRIC
AND THE COSTS WERE IN
SIGNIFICANTLY. A LITTLE BIT
HIGHER BUT THAT WAS AT THE TIME
IT WAS DONE SO WE'RE WE'RE VERY
CONFIDENT THAT THIS CAN CAN WORK
AND IT DOES WORK.
I'M.
YOU KNOW FOR US WE SEE THE
POLICIES TO REDUCE EMISSIONS IN
OUR CARS. AND TO A INCREASED PUT
PERCENTAGE OF ELECTRICITY THAT
COMES FROM RENEWABLES.
BUT THE EMISSIONS FROM SPACE AND
WATER HEATING A BILL BUILDINGS
HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED UNTIL NOW.
WE USE MORE FOSSIL FUELS AND OUR
BUILDINGS THAN IN OUR POWER
PLANTS.
SO LET'S CHANGE THE NARRATIVE
AND REDUCE EMISSIONS WERE WE
SPEND MOST OF OUR TIME.
AND OUR HOMES SCHOOLS AND
WORKPLACE.
THE SCIENTISTS THAT WE'VE WORKED
WITH OVER THE YEARS ON OUR
UNIVERSITY PROJECTS.
HAVE BEEN TELLING US FOR DECADES
THAT THE CLIMATE CHANGE WOULD
MAKE CALIFORNIA HOTTER AND
DRIER.
CAUSING DROUGHTS AND FIRES.
THE HUMAN. AND FINANCIAL COST OF
THE WILDFIRES.
THE MUDSLIDES AND THE FLOODING
THAT WE'VE SEEN.
CAN BE DRASTICALLY REDUCED AND
HE WOULD HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS
NOW.
THE COST IS JUST TOO HIGH.
SO WE BELIEVE THE ZERO EMISSIONS
RULES WILL PROVIDE PATHWAY FOR
OWNERS TO PURCHASE RENEWABLE
ENERGY.
AND FIND A WAY TO BE MISSION
CREE. SO WE URGE YOUR VOTE ON
FOURTEEN SEVENTY SEVEN TODAY.
LOOKS NEXT WITNESSES THAT TRUE
THE SYSTEM AT THE HIGH COSTS YOU
GREW THAT.
YOU KNOW I THINK.
QUOTE FOR SAUSALITO FRY WITH
CALIFORNIA BUILDING INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION HERE IN STRONG
SUPPORT WE ARE.
WE HAVE BEEN THRILLED TO BE
SITTING SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE
AUTHOR AND SPONSORS ON THIS.
AND YEAH I THINK THERE IS THERE
ARE MAJOR HURDLES TO GETTING
THESE TYPES OF TECHNOLOGIES TO
MASS.
MASS PUBLIC YOU KNOW ONE OF THE
THAT THE HUGE BENEFIT WE SAW
WITH THE NEW SOLAR HOME
PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM.
IS THAT WHEN YOU REALLY PEEL
THE ONION BACK TO TAKE A DEEP
DIVE OF WHO REALLY IS BENEFITING
YOU SEE IT REALLY IS TRULY FOLKS
AT THE LOWER ECONOMIC SEGMENT.
AND FOLKS RIGHT THE CUSP OF
BEING FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS.
BETTER BENEFITING
OVERWHELMINGLY FROM THESE TYPES
OF PROGRAMS WE THINK THAT THIS
PROGRAM ARE MAKES ALL THE SENSE
THE WORLD IT'S A NATURAL NEXT
PHASE AND IN THAT DEVELOPMENT.
SO WHERE THRILLED TO BE HERE.
URGE YOUR SUPPORT.
OTHERS IN SUPPORT OF SB FOURTEEN

NEWS TO UTILITIES ASSOCIATION
THE FORTY PART FORTY PLUS A
PUBLICLY OWNED UTILITIES AND
STATE COVERING SUPPORT.
MATTHEW HARD WITH THE CALIFORNIA
BUSINESS PROPERTIES ASSOCIATION
WITH HER IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL.
I'M NOT SURE OF GETTING THE ZERO
EMISSION BUILDINGS IS AS EASY
AS.
WAS TESTIFIED TO TODAY WE HAVE
SOME PRETTY BIG BUILDINGS WITH A
LOT OF DIFFERENT TENANTS IN
THEM.
OF THE BUILDINGS RIGHT NOW THAT
ARE MORE EASY TO GET TO ARE
SINGLE TENANT. OWNER OCCUPIED
BUILDINGS. SOME OF THE BUILDINGS
WE REPRESENT OF THIS TYPE OF
PROGRAM IS GOING TO BE VERY VERY
HELPFUL FOR OUR MEMBERS WHO WANT
TO PUSH THE ENVELOPE. ADOPT SOME
OF THE NEWER TECHNOLOGIES AND
HAVE MORE EFFICIENT BUILDINGS WE
REALLY APPRECIATE THE OFTEN THE
SPONSORS FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD THANK YOU.

THE ISSUE.
SO I WE'VE ALSO BEEN BACK AND
FORTH IN TOUCH WITH MARY NICHOLS

FRAZIER COMMERCE.
FOR OKAY MORE SO.
ON S. B. THIRTY THIRTY FIVE.
I THIS IS A BILL THAT THAT.
IS.
IN A A TOPIC THAT I KNOW IS VERY
FAMILIAR TO THE SENATE AND IT.
ULTIMATELY THIS BILL SEEKS TO
REDUCE.
THE AMOUNT OF TOXIC WASTE THAT
POLLUTES OUR BEACHES OCEANS
INLAND WATERWAYS JOKES ARE
LANDFILLS LEADERS ARE
COMMUNITIES.
BY FEES YOU KNOW TAKE OUT FOOD
CONTAINERS AT STATE RUN
FACILITIES THAT CANNOT BE
RECYCLED OR COMPOSTED IN THE
COMMUNITIES.
WHERE THEY ARE DISTRIBUTED?
SO ESSENTIALLY THE BILL REQUIRES
THAT BY TWENTY TWENTY ONE FOOD
PROVIDERS IT'S THE PARKS BEACHES
AND MOST OF THE FACILITIES.
MUST USE ONLY SUSTAINABLE
PACKAGING THAT CAN BE RECOVERED
LOCALLY I AM I DO WANT TO THANK
THE COMMITTEE. FOR THE TIME A
VOTE DEVOTED TO THIS MEASURE THE
NOW SUGGEST SEVERAL SPECIFIC
AMENDMENTS THAT I AM HAPPY TO
ACCEPT.
THESE INCLUDE UNDER THE SECOND
COMMENT I DON'T SEE WHICH
SUGGESTS LIMITING THE
FLEXIBILITY IN THE TIME PERIOD
TO ONE YEAR.
I THE THIRD COMMENT WHICH
REMOVES EXEMPTION FOR RAW MEAT
FISH AND EGGS AND FOR COMMITTEE
COLLEGES AND PRESENTS.
THE SIX COMMENT WHICH REMOVES
THE TERM CUSTOMERS TO ENSURE THE
BILL APPLIES ANYTIME STATE
FACILITY IS PROVIDING FOOD.
THE HOUSES INCLUDES SEVERAL
OTHER ISSUES AND CONCEPTS FOR
IMPROVING THE BILL THAT I AM
COMMITTED TO WORKING ON IN THE
SECOND COMMENT.
THE COMMITTEE OUTLINED SEVERAL
POTENTIAL WAYS TO ENSURE THE
TYPE OF FOOD PACKAGING THAT IS
DISTRIBUTED IS IN FACT BEING
RECOVERED TO THE SATISFACTION OF
POWER CYCLE.
I'M COMMITTED TO WORKING.
WITH THE COMMITTEE TOWER CYCLE
IN DIGEST FIGURE OUT A MECHANISM
THAT MAKES SENSE.
AND I KNOW THAT MY STAFF HAS
BEEN IN TOUCH WITH YOURSELF ON
THAT ISSUE.
I'M IN THE FIFTH COMMENT. THE
ANALYSIS DISCUSSES OFF SITE
EVENTS AND DISABILITIES THAT MAY
NOT BE WHOLLY OWNED OR LEASED BY
THE STATE.
I ONCE AGAIN I'M COMMITTEE CAN
WORK ON THE LANGUAGE TO ENSURE
THAT WHERE INCLUDING FACILITIES
AND EVENTS WHERE THE STATE HAS
CONTROL. OVER FOOD DISTRIBUTION.
WHILE EXCLUDING THOSE OVER WHICH
THE STATE DOES NOT HAVE
CONTRACTING AUTHORITY.
AFTER I FIGURE OUT THAT.
LANGUAGE THAT WILL BE MUTUALLY
ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMMITTEE
INTO.
I TO OUR GOALS AND ANTI THAT NO
BECAUSE I'VE NO DOUBT THAT WILL
BILL TO GET OUR.
LASTLY THE SEVENTH COMMENT
SPEAKS TO ENFORCEMENT.
AGAIN WANTED PERCENT COMMITTED
TO WORKING WITH OUR CYCLE. WE
DID YES.
TWO I AND WITH YOUR COMMITTEE TO
DETERMINE WHAT LEVEL OF
ENFORCEMENT IS APPROPRIATE AND
FOR HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.
SO.
ARMED WITH THAT AT THE BILL.
ABEL'S THE STATE CALIFORNIA STEP
UP AND AND SAID EXAMPLE FROSTY
RESEARCH FOOD SERVICE PROVIDERS
BOTH A CALIFORNIA GLOBALLY AND
I'M REALLY COMMITTED.
TO GETTING THIS RIGHT OVER HER
FIFTY LOCAL JURISDICTIONS HAVE
PASSED SIMILAR MEASURES SOME OF
WHICH ARE MORE RESTRICTIVE THAN
THAT WHICH IS PROPOSING THIS
MEASURE.
I WAS.
YOU KNOW WE KNOW FOLKS HERE
KNOWING IN.
YOU SUPPORTED THIS COMMITTEE
SUPPORTED AN EARLIER ATTEMPT TO
USE THAT WAS A LITTLE MORE FAR
REACHING WITH REGARDS TO.
THE STYROFOAM ARE BUT ULTIMATELY
WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS WE'RE
LOOKING AT STATE FACILITIES
ENSURING OUR STATE PARKS BEACHES
AND OTHER FACILITIES USE ONLY.
SUSTAINABLE FOOD PACKAGING.
THAT'S COMPLETELY ACHIEVABLE I
KNOW THAT WE HAVE MORE WORK TO
DO TIED LANGUAGE AND AND I I
VERY MUCH WELCOME THE
COMMITTEE'S HELP.
AND I HAVE WITH ME MARK MURRAY
FROM KEEP A CALIFORNIA GETS WAYS
TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL
ALSO HELP. ANSWER QUESTIONS.
MR MEMBERS MARK VERY WITH THE
ENVIRONMENT TO CALIFORNIANS
AGAINST WASTE.
YOU WERE THREE DECADES INTO THIS
EFFORT TO MAXIMIZE WASTE
REDUCTION AND RECYCLING IN
CALIFORNIA AND THIS LEGISLATURE.
SET THE BAR AT SEVENTY FIVE
PERCENT RECYCLING THAT'S ALREADY
DONE.
NOW.
IT IT DOESN'T TAKE A GENIUS TO
FIGURE OUT THAT SINGLE USE TAKE
OUT FOOD PACKAGING. IS ONE OF
THE THE MATERIALS IN THE WASTE
STREAM THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO
STEP UP ITS GAME IN ORDER TO
COME CLOSE TO MEETING THOSE
ALREADY ADOPTED SEVENTY FIVE
PERCENT RECYCLING GOALS.
WE'VE TRIED IN THIS COMMITTEE
HAS ADVANCED POLICIES TO.
PUT THAT RESPONSIBILITY DIRECTLY
ON ALL OF THE SINGLE USE TAKE
OUT FOOD PACKAGING THAT'S IN THE
MARKETPLACE
THREE TIMES THIS COMMITTEE HAS
PASSED THAT MEASURE. BUT THE THE
FULL BODIES OF THE SENATE THE
ASSEMBLY HAVE NOT PASSED THAT.
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY THIS BILL
REPRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR THE FOOD SERVICE SECTOR.
TO WORK ON GETTING TO THAT.
WASTE REDUCTION AND RECYCLING
GOAL IN IN THE SAFE SPACE OF
STATE FACILITIES.
WITH THE A PARTNER IN STATE
FACILITIES THAT WANT TO GET TO
THAT SAME GOAL SO THIS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE INDUSTRY.
TO INVEST IN WASTE REDUCTION AND
RECYCLING ACTIVITIES
TO INVEST IN. PUBLIC EDUCATION
TO INVEST IN THE KINDS OF
PROGRAMS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN
DEMONSTRATED TO WORK WITH OTHER
MATERIALS ON THE WE ST.
THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH OUT
A LEVEL OF PRODUCE
RESPONSIBILITY SO IT'S GONNA
TAKE PRODUCE RESPONSIBILITY BUT
BY DOING IT IN STATE FACILITIES.
THE FAST FOOD SECTOR THAT THE
TAKE OUT FOOD SECTOR IS GOING TO
HAVE A SUPPORTIVE PARTNER THAT
IS GOING TO UNDERSTAND THAT
THESE INVESTMENTS MAY. INCREASE
SOME OF THE COST OF THE PRODUCTS
OF PACKAGING.
SO WE SIT VIEW THIS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY.
AGAIN.
THAT.
WEREALLY APPRECIATE THE VERY
THOUGHTFUL ANALYSIS.
IN TERMS OF SOME OF THE
SPECIFICS OF WHERE WE WANT TO GO
ON WITH THIS.
IN IN OUR VIEW THIS IS. THIS IS
A BIG PICTURE OPPORTUNITY
SET UP A
FIND PILOT PLAYING FIELD FOR
GETTING TO A SEVENTY FIVE
PERCENT RECYCLING. GOAL FOR THE
FAST FOOD SECTOR. IN THIS ONE
AREA OF STATE FACILITIES
BOB WE WE VIEW IT AS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE INDUSTRY.
I'VE TAKEN A LOOK AT THEIR
OPPOSE LETTER AND I I ACTUALLY
FEEL LIKE.
WE CAN WORK WITH THEM ON A
NUMBER OF THE ISSUES THAT
THEY'VE RAISED IF IF
YOU NOW A NUMBER. OF SEVENTY
FIVE PERCENT COMING OUT THE GATE
BY ED A DATE IS A PROBLEM I FEEL
LIKE THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO
WORK ON THAT KIND OF NUMBER BUT
THERE HAS TO BE A COMMITMENT
THERE HAS TO BE A PARTNERSHIP.
AND LET'S TRY IT ITS STATE
FACILITIES URGENT I THINK I
GUESS WE DO STEP REPORT TALKS
ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF DATA
TO HAVE DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS
WHAT'S COUNTED IN THE DIFFERENT
JURISDICTIONS.
AS RECYCLE CAN YOU.
COMMENT ON THAT.
I WONDER CHALLENGES I GUESS
RIGHT CERTAINLY ONE OF THE
CHALLENGES IS IS MEASURING
SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT.
THIS LEGISLATURE IS ALREADY
DECIDED THAT SEVENTY FIVE
PERCENT OF IS THE NUMBER AND
THIS.
LEGISLATURE IS ALREADY DECIDED
THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE HOLDING
LOCAL AGENCIES ACCOUNTABLE FOR
THAT.
I'D RATHER THAT WE FOCUS ON OUR
INVESTMENT ON ACTUALLY ACHIEVING
THOSE WASTE REDUCTION AND
RECYCLING GOALS RATHER THAN
SPENDING A HUGE AMOUNT OF
RESOURCES ON. THE NUMBER
CRUNCHING PART OF IT IF THERE
IS.
A I MEAN I
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS A BAR
THAT DEMONSTRATES RECYCLABILITY.
AND.
UP AUTOMATA LOSE ANY SLEEP OVER.
WHETHER THAT BAR IS SHOWING
THAT THEY GOT TO SEVENTY FOUR
POINT FIVE PERCENT OR THEY GOT
TO SEVENTY SIX POINT SEVEN
PERCENT. I'D LIKE TO FOCUS ON A
DEMONSTRATION OF ACTUAL
RECYCLABILITY.
THIS LEGISLATURE DECIDED THAT
THAT MEASURE SEVENTY FIVE
PERCENT RECYCLING IN SO THIS
MEASURE THIS BILL. IS BORROWING
THAT EXACT MEASURE THAT THIS
LEGISLATURE IS ALREADY ADOPTED.
IF TERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE
MEASURE OF DEMONSTRATING
RECYCLABILITY.
THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE THAT WE
SPEND A HUGE AMOUNT OF RESOURCES
COUNTING BEANS.
I THINK THAT.
WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN AND
EXPLORING OUT BUT WE KIND OF
DON'T WANT TO NEGOTIATE WITH
OURSELVES OVER WHAT THAT MEASURE
MIGHT BE. ANOTHER QUESTION WE
HAD ASSIGNED THE RESPONSIBILITY
TRYING TO IS IN THE FOOD SERVICE
VENDOR IS SET TO.
THE.
STATE PARKS
CAN YOU SHINE SOME LIGHT ON I
THINK ON THE YOU KNOW THIS IS.
CHOOSE THE WORKABILITY ASHER I
THINK THAT IT IS I I THINK THE
ONLY WAY THAT THIS HAPPENS.
THROUGH A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY.
BETWEEN THE FOOD SERVICE
PACKAGING PROVIDERS AND THE
STATE FACILITIES.
FOOD SERVICE PACKAGING PROVIDERS
OF WHO MAY IN DEALING WITH THE
PRIVATE SECTOR.
FOOD DELIVERY.
SECTOR MAY HAVE A DIFFICULT
TIME CONVINCING THE FAST FOOD
SECTOR THAT HEY YOU CAN HAVE TO
SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE ON YOUR
PACKAGING.
SUPPORT THESE RECYCLING GOALS.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE STATE
FACILITIES MAY BE MORE OPEN TO
SHARING IN THAT RESPONSIBILITY
THEN MCDONALD'S OR TACO BELL OR
PIZZA HUT SO. IT IS ABSOLUTELY
ENVISIONED IN THIS POLICY BUT
IT'S A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY
BETWEEN.
PACKAGING SECTOR AND THE
FACILITIES.
I'M ON THE JUSTICE SMALL TOPIC
ON THE OFF SITE WORD THAT THE
ACTIVITIES OF THE SENDER
INDICATED THAT YOU STILL WANT TO
WORK ON IT WE TALKED ABOUT
WHETHER YOU KNOW. MAKE THE
FACILITY WHO DISPENSES IT JUST
SIMPLY RESPONSIBLE MINUTE SEPT
REPORT INDICATES SOME THAT. IS.
RATHER THAN THE.
SPONSOR OF THE EVENT.
I GUESS I MEAN IF YOU HAVEN'T AT
U. S. C. THAT ARE LIKE US UC'S
PRIVATE.
UCLA UCLA THAT ARE EVERYTHING
WOULD HAVE TO BE MOVED WHATEVER
WHATEVER FAMILIES WHOSE OFFICER
IF IT WAS I SEE CITY BY CITY.
SCHOOL FUNCTION FOR.
.
THAT BON JOVI CONCERT
RIGHT.
MINUTES THAT.
YEAH DEFEATED GOMEZ AYE I SEE
THE OF YOU KNOW I I KIND OF.
THE CORE OBJECTIVE IS TO A
FORCED THIS PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
THE STATE FACILITIES AND THE
FAST FOOD AND THE TAKE OUT FOOD
PACKAGE PACKAGING SECTOR.
I'M AGAIN UP I'M NOT LIKE YOURS
IS A SUPPORTER OF THIS MEASURE
WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR A HUNDRED
PERCENT IN TERMS OF EVERY
POSSIBLE CONNECTION.
BETWEEN A STATE FACILITY WORKING
WITH SOME OTHER ORGANIZATION.
AND IF IF THAT BECOMES TO
COMPLICATED TO MONITOR AND TO
TRACK THAT.
I'M NOT SURE I I'M I'M HAVING IS
AS I UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE
SITUATIONS OCCUR BUT I'M I'M
ALSO AND IT'S NOT.
QUITE ENTIRELY CLEAR TO ME WHAT
THOSE SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES
MIGHT BE SO I'M I'M NOT ABLE TO
PROVIDE A GREAT RESPONSE FOR YOU
BECAUSE. OF WHAT'S HEAR FROM
OTHERS WHO WERE IN SUPPORT OF SB
THIRTEEN THIRTY FIVE THIS IS
ITEM NUMBER SEVENTEEN OUR
AGENDA.
TOMMY. ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF LOCAL
CONSERVATION COURSE IN SUPPORT.
HOW JONES A CIRCLE CLIFORNIA
AND ALSO ON BEHALF OF DEFENDERS
OF WILDLIFE?
SYLVIA'S ALICIA ON BEHALF OF THE
CITY OF SANTA MONICA WE HAVE A
LOCAL A SIMILAR ORDINANCE IN
PLACE LOCALLY THAT ALSO LIKE TO
TESTIFY ON BEHALF OF THE SOLID
WASTE ASSOCIATION OF NORTH
AMERICA ALSO IN SUPPORT AND.
LAURA ROSENTHAL CITY COUNCIL
MEMBER CITY OF MALIBU.
WE HAVE BANNED ALL POLY STYRENE
PRODUCTS FOR SALE OR USE IN OUR
CITY. WE'VE SEEN.
A BIG IMPACT ON OUR BEACHES WE
HAVE TWENTY ONE MILES OF BEACHES
IN THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES.
AND SO WE REALLY I THINK SENATOR
BAND ALLEN FOR HIS OPENING THIS
UP FOR THE OF FOR CITIES TO DO
WORK BY IN THIS AREA. AND WE
STRONGLY ENCOURAGE.
A YES ON THIS THANK YOU.
SHARE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
MARK A PRAYER ON BEHALF OF
REPUBLIC SERVICES I WANNA ECHO.
THE REMARKS MADE BY SENATOR
ALLEN AND MARK MURRAY THE STATE
HAS SET A BAR OF OF A GOAL OF
GETTING TO SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT.
THIS PROVIDES THE STATE TO TAKE
A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN THIS AREA
IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR SOLID
WASTE FACILITY A FACILITY
PROVIDERS A. SOLIDLY SERVICE
PROVIDERS TO HELP GET TO THAT
GOAL OF WE DON'T HAVE A STATE
PARTNER WE ARE DRIVE OF.
GENEVIEVE AVEDON ON BEHALF DO ME
OF NATIONAL RESOURCES DEFENSE
COUNCIL ALAMEDA COUNTY WASTE
MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY CLEANS HIS
LOBBYING COALITION AND CLEAN
WATER ACTION IN SUPPORT.
I OPPOSITION TO SB THIRTEEN
THIRTY FIVE PLEASE COME FORWARD.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I MET CERTAIN OF THE
CALIFORNIA RESTAURANT
ASSOCIATION.
WE AND NUMBER OF THE COMMENTS
THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED
WE HAVE CONCERNS OVER AS WELL WE
ARE OPPOSED.
WE DO TAKE THE ISSUE OF MARINE
DEBRIS.
INCREDIBLY SERIOUSLY
RESTAURANTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE
TO LOVE PARTNERING A LITTER OF
EIGHT MEN BEACH CLEANUPS HIGHWAY
CLEAN UPS AND THINGS OF THAT
NATURE.
WE DO AGREE THAT YOU KNOW THERE
IS RESPONSIBILITY CERTAINLY AT
THE MANUFACTURE LEVEL OF THEIR
FOOD PACKAGING PRODUCTS.
WE ARE THE END USERS OF THE
PRODUCTS THAT WE THINK THE
DISTRIBUTORS AND WE ALSO THINK
THE GAS ALL HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY.
THE DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS IN A
LOT OF THESE THINGS AND WE AS AN
ASSOCIATION ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT
OF RECYCLABLE AND COMPOSTABLE
MANDATES FOR FOOD PACKAGING.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF SUGGESTION
HERE THAT THIS IS ABOUT FAST
FOOD AND I WILL JUST POINT OUT
TO YOU THAT WE HAVE MANY OF THAT
MEMBERS OF OURS AND MOST OF OURS
ARE THE.
INDEPENDENT RESTAURANTS THAT ARE
IN STATE FACILITIES AND HAVE
CONTRACTS WITH.
YOU KNOW STATE BUILDINGS AND
AGENCIES SO IT'S MUCH MORE THAN
FAST FOOD BUT TO GET TO THE
ISSUES OF THE BILL.
IT SETS A SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT.
RECYCLING RATE WHICH YOU KNOW WE
FEAR AT THIS POINT TODAY IS
BASICALLY A DEFECTIVE BAN ON THE
NUMBER OF.
FOOD PACKAGING PRODUCTS.
THE OTHER CHALLENGES THAT THE
ANALYSIS I THINK APPROPRIATELY
POINTS OUT ARE. THAT THE
ELIGIBLE PRODUCTS THAT ARE
ALLOWED TO BE USED
HAVE TO BE COLLECTED OR RECYCLED
I BELIEVE IT IS SEVENTY FIVE
PERCENT RATE IN EACH REGION.
AND SO IF YOU HAVE FOOD SERVICE
OPERATORS THAT OPERATE IN
MULTIPLE DIFFERENT REGIONS IT
BECOMES A BIT OF A COMPLIANCE
HEADACHE FOR THEM.
THE OTHER ISSUE THAT WAS RAISED
WAS WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR GTE
DETERMINING WHICH PACKAGING CAN
AND CANNOT BE USED. WE WOULD
SUGGEST THAT THAT NOT BE THE
RESTAURANTS WITH WITH THEY'VE
GOT.
THEY DON'T HAVE THE EXPERTISE
TO DETERMINE WHAT CONSTITUTES A
RECYCLED OR COMPOSTABLE.
PIECE OF PACKAGING THEY MAYBE
LABEL THEY MAY BE TOLD THINGS
BUT I THINK THAT THAT
RESPONSIBILITY. SHOULD RESIDE
SOMEWHERE ELSE.
THERE'S SOME MENTION IN THE
ANALYSIS ABOUT.
THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS ARE
PRODUCTS THAT ARE PACKAGED.
EXTERNALLY TO RESTAURANTS AND
THAT ARE SOLD IN RESTAURANTS
WHETHER THEY'RE IN STATE AGENCY
OR NOT.
WE THINK THAT ISSUE DESERVES A
LITTLE BIT MORE CLARIFICATION
IT'S.
VERY COMMON FOR RESTAURANTS
OFFER ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS.
THAT ARE PREPACKAGED IN THAT'S
OUT OF THEIR CONTROL WHETHER
THAT PACKAGING.
IS RECYCLABLE OR COMPOSTED.
ANNA AND I'D SAY GENERALLY
WE'RE HAPPY TO CONTINUE THE
DISCUSSION ON THE ISSUE.
YOU KNOW IF THE BILL WERE PUT
IN PLACE TODAY WE HAVE BEEN TOLD
BY A NUMBER OF EXPERTS THAT.
MUCH OF THE DISPOSABLE OR
SINGLE USE OR RECYCLE OR COMPOST
WILL FOOD PACKAGING DOESN'T MEET
THE STANDARDS OF THE BILL TODAY
AND COULDN'T BE USED TODAY.
I'M I REALIZE THERE'S THE GOAL
POSTS SET OUT.
IN I THINK FIVE YEARS.
BUT IN TODAY'S WORLD IT MIGHT
REQUIRE THE USE OF REUSABLE
WASHABLE TYPES OF.
.
DISHES AND THINGS IN A IN THE
RESTAURANT SETTING AND OF COURSE
THAT COMES WITH LABOR.
ISSUES AND COSTS AND WATER AND
ENERGY USAGE AND OTHER THINGS I
KNOW I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S THE
INTENT.
BUT.
AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE
CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE BEEN HAPPY
TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE OFF
THEIR INCREASE IT THE SPIRIT OF
THE BILL.
THANK YOU ARE MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS TIM TIM CHESTED WITH THE
AMERICAN CHEMISTRY COUNCIL MY
REALIZATION INCLUDES. NOT ONLY
RAW MATERIAL SUPPLIERS THAT
PROVIDE MATERIAL TO PACKAGING
MANUFACTURERS BUT ALSO THOSE.
THAT MANUFACTURED THESE FOOD
SERVICE PRODUCTS AND AND. I I
WILL ECHO MISTER SUTTON'S
COMMENTS THAT THIS IS AN AREA
THAT WE'RE COMMITTED TO WORKING
ON WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON IT
RIGHT NOW. WE'RE PROVIDING
GRANTS TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WERE
WORKING WITH TO IMPROVE THE
RECYCLING ACCESS FOR CONSUMERS
FOR THESE MATERIALS. IMPROVING
SORTING CAPABILITIES OF MATERIAL
RECOVERY FACILITIES AND ALSO OUR
COMPANIES ARE WORKING ON NEW
TECHNOLOGIES TO. NOT JUST
RECYCLE THESE MATERIALS TO
RECOVER THEM IN A WAY THAT THEY
CAN BE USED AS RAW MATERIALS FOR
OTHER PRODUCTS OF THIS IS A A
COMPLEMENT TO THE EXISTING
ECYCLING STREAM AND THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT I THINK IT'S
IF WE'RE GONNA ACHIEVE SOME OF
THESE THESE THESE HIGHER
DIVERSION NUMBER SO.
NOT ONLY ARE WE. WORKING IN THE
SPACE.
WE'RE SUPPORTING LEGISLATION
AND THE OTHER HOUSE.
THAT IS FOCUSED ON DEVELOPING A.
A A MECHANISM AND
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR CERTAIN
SEGMENTS OF OF THE FOOD SERVICE
PACKAGING.
SECTOR.
SO COMBINED I THINK I THINK WE
ALL WANT THE SAME RESULT I MEAN
OUR MEMBERS ONE IF I FIGURE OUT
WAYS IN WHICH THEY CAN CONTINUE
TO MARKET PRODUCTS.
AND DEVELOP THE INFRASTRUCTURE
SO THEY CAN BE CAPTURED AND AND
USED IN A HIGHER AND BETTER AND
USE.
THAN PUTTING IN A LANDFILL OR
FINDING IT ON THE LONG SIDE OF
THE ROAD.
AS LEADER SO.
I'M NOT ENTIRELY SURE HOW THAT
FITS IN THAT CONVERSATION I KNOW
CENTER ALICE GENUINE IN HIS
DESIRE TO SEE MATERIAL DIVERTED.
AND RECYCLED AND COMPOSTED AND
WE SHARE THAT.
OBJECTIVE.
AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING
WITH YOU ON ON THE AMENDMENTS
AND AND
AND SEE WHERE THIS GOES BUT.
I I JUST WANNA MAKE IT CLEAR
THAT THERE ARE ORGANIZATION
WANTS AND OUR MEMBERS ARE
WORKING IN THIS SPACE.
AND WE CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND OUR
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY FINDING
SOLUTIONS TO THESE ISSUES.

SO.
ARE THIS BILL S. B. TEN FIFTEEN
ESTABLISHES THE CALIFORNIA
CLIMATE RESILIENCY PROGRAM AND
FIND.
WITHIN THE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
WORD.
TO FIND PROVEN PROJECT AT A
REGIONAL LEVEL.
THIS PROJECT WILL BE
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO PROMOTE
CLIMATE RESILIENCY INCREASE THE
STATE'S ABILITY TO MITIGATE. AND
ADAPT TO THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE
CHANGE WILL ALSO REDUCE THE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.
AS YOU KNOW IN LAST YEAR'S
BUDGET WE APPROPRIATE TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE GDR
AFTER THE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
BOARD SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS
TASK.
AND THEY JUST ISSUED THEIR DRAFT
GUIDELINES WE ALSO GAVE OUR
STREETS COASTAL. AGENCIES OF THE
COASTAL COMMISSION AND THE COST
OF CONSERVANCY THE SIMPSONS GO
BAY CONSERVATION DEVELOPMENT
COMMISSION.
SIX MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE
GIRAFFE TO DO PLANNING LOCAL
ASSISTANCE CAPITAL PROJECTS.
WITH THE BALK GOING TO THE
CONSERVANCY'S CLIMATE READY
PROGRAM.
THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN
SUCCESSFULLY FUNDING IN
IMPLEMENTING.
PROJECTS DESIGNED TO CAPTURE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND
HELP LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN
NATURAL RESOURCES ADOPTED THE
IMPACTS.
OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
BUILDING ON THE SUCCESSFUL
MODELS.
THIS BILL SEEKS TO SCALE UP OUR
EFFORTS IN SURE THAT WE BUILD A
CORE NEEDED AND COHESIVE.
PROGRAM TO GUIDE EFFORTS.
TO ENSURE A NATURAL RESOURCES
ARE RESILIENT THE FACE OF
CLIMATE CHANGE.
WERE COGNIZANT OF THE EFFORTS OF
THIS COMMITTEE.
AND PARTICULARLY CHAIR.
I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN WORKING HARD
TO PUT INTO DEVELOPING AN OVER
ARCHING.
STATEWIDE EFFORT.
SURE THAT ALL SECTORS CAN ADAPT
TO A CHANGING CLIMATE.
AND I KNOW THIS IS UNDER ASK YOU
TO
TO MY I WANTED TO STATE
UNEQUIVOCALLY.
THAT I AM ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT
THAT ONCE
THE OVERALL PROGRAM IS OUTLINED.
THAT S. B. TEN FIFTEEN CAN SERVE
AS
THE MODEL IS A GOOD FOR THIS DID
THOUGH NATURAL RESOURCES PIECE.
OF THAT LARGER PUBLIC PUZZLE AND
I'M I'M COMMITTED TO THAT AND
REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS.
IN THE COMMITTEE TODAY WITH
REGARD TO THIS BILL I AM I AM I
AM VERY COMMITTED TO WORKING
WITH YOU TO.
MAKE SURE THAT.
THAT THAT WHAT EVOLVES WITH S.
B. TWO SIXTY TWO ON THE NATURAL
RESOURCES SIDE.
I IS.
IS WELL THOUGHT THROUGH AND AND
I'M SUPPORTED BY OUR EFFORTS.
SO I WANNA SPEAK TO SEVERAL
ISSUES POINTED OUT ANALYSIS
PARTICULARLY ON THE SPECIFIC
POINT.
FIRST YOU KNOW.
WE LET ME BE VERY CLEAR THAT SP
TEN FIFTEEN DOESN'T SEEK TO PUT
THE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION BOARD
ENTERED THE STATE'S FULL EFFORT.
TO ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE.
THAT WOULDN'T BE APPROPRIATE.
ADOPT ME THIS IS AN ISSUE WE
LOOKED AT IT NATURAL RESOURCES.
ADOPTION RESILIENCY BY WILL
AFFECT EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE IN
CALIFORNIA FROM PUBLIC HEALTH
IMPLICATIONS TO HOW AND WHERE.
WE CONSTRUCT ROADWAYS AS THIS
COMMITTEE POINTED OUT LAST WEEK
HEARING WE TALKED ABOUT THE
NEED.
HAVE BETTER COORDINATION.
I'VE THE WE DON'T THE WICB
DOESN'T HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO
ADDRESS THESE OTHER IMPACTS.
HOWEVER AS THE HOUSES.
DONE FOR THE NATURAL RESOURCES
WATER COMMITTEE POINTS OUT ARE
CONSERVANCY AND THE WB. HAVE
EXPERIENCE.
I IN BOTH ADDRESSING ADAPTATION
AND RESILIENCY AND YEAH I THINK
IMPORTANTLY WORKING EFFECTIVELY
WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
TO FIND AND IMPLEMENT LOCAL
PRIORITIES.
SO THE HOUSE IS DONE FOR THIS
COMMITTEE ALSO QUESTIONS WHETHER
THE BILL SHOULD MOVE GIVEN THAT
THE BILL DOESN'T IMPLEMENT A
LARGER EFFORT TO CORDY ALL
CONSERVATION STRATEGY STATEWIDE.
BUT INSTEAD IS FOCUSED ON
RESILIENCY.
THE HOUSE'S POINTS OUT.
APPOINTS THE EFFORTS ALREADY
UNDER WAY TO IMPROVE
COORDINATION ON CONSERVATION
EFFORTS CALLING OUT THE
CALIFORNIA COUNCIL.
ABOUT DIVERSITY IN THE INTER
AGENCY LIMA TEAM.
BUT IT'S IT'S NOT THE GOAL OF
THIS BILL TO REINVENT THAT WE'LL
ALL.
ACCORDING TO THE HOUSES ON PAGE
FIVE.
THE VARIOUS EFFORTS UNDER WAY
ARE COMING TOGETHER TO THE WORK
DONE AT THE INTEGRATED REGIONAL
CONSERVATION DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
FOR YOUR CAT.
LAWS BE TEN FIFTEEN IS FOCUSED
ON NATURAL RESOURCES RESILIENCY
ENSURING COORDINATION WITH THESE
EFFORTS IS SUPER IMPORTANT.
RECENT EVENTS OF THE BILL I
SPECIALLY CALL ON THE W. CB AND
THE CONSERVANCY IS TO WORK WITH
THE I RCAB. AS THEY DEVELOP
PROGRAM GUIDELINES.
I AM SO WE COMMITTED TO WORKING
WITH STAKEHOLDERS THE
ADMINISTRATION THIS COMMITTEE
THE CHAIR THE STAFF.
IF THIS BILL DOESN'T ABOUT
TODAY.
TO ENSURE THAT IF A LARGER
RESILIENCY EFFORTS PUT FORTH WE
CAN EFFICIENTLY FOR THIS NOT TO
RESOURCE COMPONENT INTO IT.
BOB BUT YOU KNOW IT IS MY SENSE
THAT THERE IS URGENCY HERE.
I WE CAN SING FIRES MUDSLIDES
DROUGHTS FLOODS EXTREME HEAT
EVENTS
WE KNOW IT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO
PROTECT OUR NATURAL RESOURCES
AND WE KNOW HOW WE CAN USE
ACTUALLY INFRASTRUCTURE.
TO PROTECT COMMUNITIES I THINK
THAT IN THIS BILL WE HAVE
SOMETHING GOOD. ON THAT
PARTICULAR IN THAT AREA.
OUR STATE CONSERVANCY'S MODEL B.
CBO UNIQUELY POSITIONED I THINK
TO IMPLEMENT THIS NARROW ASPECT
OF OUR STATES RESILIENCY
STRATEGY QUICKLY AND EFFECTIVELY
IN.
SIGH I DO APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR
FORBEARANCE IN HEARING MESS.
I AND I HAVE WITH ME JAY ZIEGLER
FROM NATURAL AND FROM NATURE
CONSERVANCY WHO YOU KNOW CAMPER
FROM RESOURCES.
CONSERVATION DISTRICTS
ASSOCIATION AND THEY'RE HERE TO
SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS THANK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
APPEAR BEFORE THE COMMITTEE AND
TO EASE THE GLARE THAT DIRECTOR
POLICY FOR THE NATURE
CONSERVANCY.
AND MISTER CHAIRMAN WE'VE REALLY
APPRECIATED OUR EFFORTS TO WORK
WITH YOU AND YOUR STAFF ON
THINKING ABOUT COMPREHENSIVE
ADAPTATION.
STRATEGIES
WE'VE.
IN PARTICULAR REBEL OF WOULD
STRONGLY ENDORSE YOUR THINKING
THAT WE'RE.
WAY BHIND WHERE WE NEED TO BE
ON RESILIENCY INVESTMENTS IN
CALIFORNIA.
I THINK WE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF.
AN ABOUT TEN FIFTEEN TO
APPROACH HERE BECAUSE IT DOES
BUILD ON A VERY SUCCESSFUL
MODEL.
AND SENATE BILL TEN SIXTY SIX
WHICH WE WORKED OUT WITH SENATOR
LIEU AND TWENTY TWELVE.
WHICH HAS A PORTFOLIO SOME
FORTY ACT CONSERVATION NATURAL
INFRASTRUCTURE FOCUSED PROJECTS
ALONG THE COAST.
WHICH ADDRESS.
THE THREATS OF SEA LEVEL RISE
AND FLOODING NEEDS.
OUR FLAT.
THREAT STRATEGY NEEDS AND THAT
WE HAVE TO HAVE IN OUR
COMMUNITIES MY COLLEAGUE KARIN
BIRDS GOING TO TALK ABOUT A
NUMBER OF THOSE EXAMPLES.
I THINK IN PARTICULAR.
WITHOUT THE STRATEGY OF
FIGURING OUT HOW AND WHERE WE
INVEST.
IN NATURAL RESOURCE PROTECTION
AND NATURAL RESILIENCY IN
CALIFORNIA. OUR STATE WILL NOT
ACHIEVE ITS CLIMATE GOALS WHERE
ARE OUR OWN ANALYSIS AND THAT OF
OTHER SCIENTISTS OF POINTS OUT
AS MUCH AS TWENTY PERCENT.
OF CALIFORNIA'S AS NEAR TERM
TWENTY THIRTY CO TWO REDUCTION
TARGETS CAN BE MET BY EFFECTIVE
CONSERVATION STRATEGIES THE OF
NATURAL MARKING LANDS.
SO. THAT THIS IS AN ESSENTIAL
PART OF CALIFORNIANS AT CLIMATE
INVESTMENT CLIMATE RESILIENCE
PORTFOLIO.
AND ARE CRITICAL CONCERN IS THAT
WITHOUT THE POLICY GUIDANCE.
THAT SENATOR ALLEN HAS EMBARKED
ON IN SENATE BILL TEN FIFTEEN.
WE WILL MESS THIS CORE COMPONENT
OF THE STRATEGY AND.
AND WE WILL FAILED TO MEET OUR
CLIMATE OBJECTIVES AS A RESULT.
AND.
AND AND SO.
FUNDAMENTAL A THIS BILL IS
ESSENTIAL TO INVEST AND
PROTECTION OF OUR FORESTS ARE
FARMS AND RANCHES FLOOD PLAINS
COASTAL FLOOD ZONES. OPEN SPACE
NATURAL HABITAT COUNTIES THAT
HAVE HABITAT CONSERVATION PLANS
IN PLACE THAT RELY ON FUNDING
AND PUBLIC PRIVATE COOPERATION.
IN ORDER TO GET MULTIPLE LAND
USE OBJECTIVES OF CHEAP
SO WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR
ATTENTION TO THIS PORTFOLIO OF
ISSUES AND.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
YOU ON THE BILL.
MISTER CHAIR MY NAME IS KAREN
BURN THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR
THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
RESOURCE CONSERVATION DISTRICTS.
THE NINETY OUR CITIES AND LIKE
AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WORK
WITH LANDOWNERS COMMUNITIES AND
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO PROTECT AND
RESTORE OUR NATURAL RESOURCES
THROUGH SCIENTIFIC APPROACHES.
OUR CITIES IMPLEMENT PROJECTS
THAT MAKE OUR FORESTS HEALTHIER
RESTORE WATERSHEDS IMPROVE
AGRICULTURAL SOILS SAFEGUARD OUR
COASTS
PROTECT WILDLIFE HABITAT AND
CONTROL AND RADIC INVASIVE
SPECIES AND GREEN OUR CITIES.
THIS WORK IS REALLY CRITICAL AND
WE'RE SEEING THE RESULTS IN THE
IMPACT THAT SHOW THAT WITH I'M
LOOKING AT YOU MORTALITY.
LOOKING THE FLOODS AND FIRES
HAVE BEEN FACING THIS IS A
REALLY PRESSING CHALLENGE THAT
WE'RE TRYING TO REALLY COME
ABOUT IT AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. AYE
AND WE NEED THAT WE NEED THE
ASSISTANCE TO DO THAT AS THE OUR
CITIES HAVE BEEN ENGAGED WITH
THAT THE PROGRAM THAT THIS IS
BASED ON WITH THE COASTAL
CONSERVANCY. AND THEY'VE
ACTUALLY RECEIVED AND EIGHT OF
THE THE GRANDSON ARE ARE
IMPLEMENTING THESE LOCALLY
INCLUDING ONE ALAMEDA COUNTY.
AND.
THAT IS LOOKING AT AYE CLAIMANTS
CLIMATE RESILIENCY STRATEGIES ON
AND BMPS THAT ARE WORKING WITH.
LOCAL BRANCHES TO BE ABLE TO.
ENSURE MORE WATER SUPPLY AND
HEALTHY SOILS IN IN CREATING
WATER SUPPLY FOR THEN
COMMUNITIES HAT ARE ALSO
KEEPING OUR AGRICULTURE AND
BUSINESS.
AND THEY'RE WORKING ON NOT ON IT
SIXTY TWO HUNDRED ACRES ON THIS
AND ALL AT A REGIONAL WILDERNESS
AREA AS WELL AS SEVENOTHER
PROJECTS THAT ARE PUTTING
TOGETHER. AND WE FEEL LIKE THIS
PROGRAM IS IS REALLY EFFECTIVE
IN CREATING THESE LOCAL
STRATEGIES AND COMING UP WITH
REALLY HIGH PRIORITY AND
PROJECTS THAT ARE SCIENTIFICALLY
SOUND THE CAN GET THESE THINGS
DONE IMMEDIATELY. AND IS IT
SOMETHING THAT.
.
YEAH IT WOULD BE REALLY
EFFECTIVE IN IMPLEMENTING NOW
AND NOT AND HAVING TO VOTE TO
WAIT UP FOR KIND A BIGGER
STRATEGY TO BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT
AS WE FEEL LIKE WE CAN MAKE A
REALLY BIG DENTON THINGS NOW.
ALRIGHT OTHER SINCE SUPPORT OF A
SP TENDS FIFTEEN PLEASE COME
FORWARD.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE PAUL
MASON WITH THE CIVIC FOREST'S
TRUST ARE ALSO VERY MUCH A
SUPPORT APPRECIATE SENATORS WORK
ON THIS ISSUE APPRECIATE YOURS
AS WELL AND YOUR OTHER
CHAIRMANSHIP ROLE IN YOUR
INTEREST MEDITATION. I DO WANT
TO SPEAK BRIEFLY TO A COUPLE OF
THE ISSUES FACING THE ANALYSIS
AND THE SUGGESTION THAT THE
WILDLIFE CONSERVATION BOARD. MAY
NOT HAVE YOU KNOW THE TECHNICAL
CAPACITY OF THIS GRAND STRATEGY
FOR. PRIORITIZING.
CONSERVATION ACROSS THE STATE
NOW JUST KNOW THAT THEY ARE VERY
CLOSELY ALIGNED PARA INDEPENDENT
BOARD UT VERY CLOSELY ALIGNED
WITH DEPARTMENT FISH AND
WILDLIFE. CHAIRED BY THE
DIRECTOR OF FISH AND WILDLIFE
AND FOR THE LAST NINE YEARS THE
DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN WORKING ON
THIS AREA OF CONSERVATION
EMPHASIS STRATEGY. WHICH THEY
JUST RECENTLY ROLLED OUT A THIRD
PERSON MISSION OPPORTUNITIES
ACROSS
THE STATE SO THERE REALLY IS
MORE OF A FRAMEWORK THERE THEN I
THINK IT'S NECESSARILY BEEN
REFLECTED.
I ALSO JUST HIGHLIGHTED THAT
WHILE THIS.
BILL DOESN'T ALIGN EVERY
CONSERVATION PROGRAM AROUND A
CENTRAL. SET OF.
BALLS ACTIVITIES IT IS A HUGE
STEP FORWARD AND OUTLINING THE
IS TEN CONSERVANCY THEN THE
WHILE THE CONSERVATION BOARD
AROUND THESE CLIMATE READY AND.
PREPAREDNESS SORTS OF
ACTIVITIES SO WE THINK THAT YOU
CAN'T LET THE.
PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD
IN THIS CASE OR.
I GOT THAT RIGHT HOT.
EVER MEASURED YOUR SUPPORT FOR
THIS BILL THANK YOU.

THANK.
LET'S HEAR FROM.
OPPOSITION THIS OR ANY
OPPOSITION HERE IN S. B. TEN
FIFTEEN.
OKAY.
THEN LET'S ARE CLOSE IT MAY
BRING.
CENTER STONE YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
I THINK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF
WORKING WITH A SENATOR ALLEN ON
THIS BILL AND I APPRECIATE A LOT
OF THE COMPONENTS OF.
SETTING ASIDE SOME MONEY FOR
DISADVANTAGED AND LOWER INCOME
COMMUNITIES WHICH I. DO
REPRESENT IN THE EASTERN
COACHELLA VALLEY WE HAVE A
HABITAT PLAN IN THE WESTERN.
COUNTY WERE HAVE ARE.
RIVERSIDE COUNTY CONSERVATION
AREA PLAN.
FOR REAR NON TASKED WITH
ACQUIRING HUNDRED FIFTY THREE
THOUSAND ACRES OVER THE TWENTY
FIVE YEAR LIFE OF A. ACP AND
THOUGH WERE ABOUT THAT SIXTY
THOUSAND ACRES.
THROUGH.
FEDERAL FUNDING AND LIMITED
STATE FUNDING AND THIS IS GOING
TO PROVIDE FOR MORE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO. TO
RESET GOAL AND AT THE SAME TIME
A ADDRESS.
CLIMATE RESILIENCY THAT YOU'RE
LOOKING TO DO IN THIS BILL SO I
I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT AND WILL
MOVE IT.
RIGHT LET ME SHARE MY THOUGHTS
I'VE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATION MY
STAFF IS TALKED.
TO YOUR STAFF ON THIS WE'VE
TALKED TO THE THE ADVOCATES WE
HAD A HEARING ON ADAPTATION LAST
WEEK THE GENERAL TESTIMONY OF
THAT WAS NOT TO.
BALKANIZED HARD FUNDING BUT TO
LOOK AT OF. ONE UNIFIED.
ADAPTATION RESILIENCY PROGRAM
THAT WAS GOING ON
SO IT'S
AT THIS TIME WHILE.
NOBODY.
.
CERTAINLY I DON'T.
SECOND GUESS THE WILDLIFE
CONSERVATION IS GOOD WORK IN
THAT ALTHOUGH THE CONSERVATION
WORK SAID THEN I BELIEVE IT'S A
LITTLE IMMATURE BUT NOT IMMATURE
PREMATURE. LET ME MATURITY. THAT
THIS TIME SO THAT'S THAT'S THE
THE FIRST THING BECAUSE I THINK
WE HAVE A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO
ADAPTATION RESILIENCY WHICH WE
HOPE WILL AS. THE AUTHOR IN THE.
I INDICATED ON S. B..
TWO SIX TWO THAT WE CAN GET THE.
PEOPLE OF.
FALL AND THERE'S A HUGE
COMPONENT OF FUNDING. THAT I
HAVE EXPRESS THAT I WAS ALARMED
AT THE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
GETTING TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS
LAST YEAR.
NOT THAT WHERE THAT CAME FROM
OUT OF THE ADMINISTRATION I
PUBLICLY SAID THAT AS I WAS
CHEERING THAT.
MEASURES YOU I'M SURE EVERYBODY
AT THE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
BOARD WAS THE LIFE THAT THEY GOT
THE MONEY ARM BUT.
THE AIRPORTS IS THE STILL
DEVELOPING DISCO BENEFIT.
QUANTIFICATION METHODOLOGY FOR
SPECIES AND HABITAT CONSERVATION
SO THAT'S THAT HASN'T BEEN
ANOTHER ELEMENT OF THE PREMATURE
NATURE OF THIS IS THAT STILL
GOING. ARE GOING ON I'M.
THE OTHER QUESTION THEIR CONCERN
I HAVE IS.
WELL YOU DO GOOD WORK AND
THERE'S LITTLE OR NO LEGISLATIVE
DIRECTION OR OVERSIGHT FOR THE.
DOT WORK THIS GET SENATE SORT
OF GOES OUT TO THE CONSERVATION
BOARD AND. AND YOU FOLKS DO AND
AL THE OTHER FOLKS DO WHAT THEY
WANT WHICH IS.
AT.
IN THIS.
IF WE'RE GOING TO GET CLIMATE
ADAPTATION RESILIENCY RIGHT CAN
WE HAVE A HUGE FUNDING CHALLENGE
BECAUSE OF ALL THE MONEY THAT'S
GOING INTO MEDICATION.
IT'S IT'S JUST MY POSITION THAT
HAS TO BE COORDINATED.
YOU KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO
RECEIVE THE IT THAT CHEAP THE
STATE GOALS NOT THAT I DON'T
THERE IS A PROPER PLACE FOR THE.
THE WORK TO BE DONE AND THE LAND
OBVIOUSLY THAT'S ACQUIRED WITH
THIS IS IS HELPS TO ACHIEVE THAT
BUT AS I SIT HERE TODAY. THOSE
CERTAIN THAT'S THE BEST SPOT SO
I HAVE AND THE WORK THAT THE
COMMITTEE HAS DONE UP TO NOW SO.
I AM UNABLE TO SUPPORT THE BILL
AS AS IT IS BY. WILL ALLOW YOU
TO CLOSE AND WE HAVE A MOTION BY
THE VICE CHAIR.
REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE.
I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS BY THE
CHAIR AND.
.
I WOULD SAY.
YOU ROUGHLY RIGHT THE OVERSIGHT
ROLE OF THE LEGISLATURE IS
IMMENSELY IMPORTANT WE OF COURSE
CONTROLLER BUDGET THEY REPORT
BACK TO US.
BUT I AM ABSOLUTELY.
HAPPY REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS
IN NEW IF IF THIS BILL DOES PASS
OUT REGARDLESS OF YOUR VOTE ON
YOU KNOW I I WOULD I WOULD
CERTAINLY WANT TO WORK CLOSE TO
THE COMMITTEE TO FIGURE OUT.
SOME LANGUAGE THAT WOULD ENSURE
THE OVERSIGHT.
I'VE ISSUES YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
AND I ALSO JUST REITERATE ONCE
AGAIN HOW INTERESTED I AM IN
TRYING TO ROLL WHAT WE'RE DOING.
I IN THIS BILL INTO THE BROADER
EFFORTS HERE COMPILING WITH SP
TWO SIXTY TWO I UNDERSTAND. I'M.
YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S NOT ALL
TOGETHER YET AND AND WE DO NEED
TO COORDINATE I DON'T IS A GOOD
THING YOU SAID.
BUT I THINK THAT THIS COULD.
THAT THEY MOVING THIS BILL FORD
COULD BE A GREAT WAY TO.
TO TO MOVE THE CONVERSATION ON
THE NATURAL RESOURCES PIECE ON
WHATEVER ENDS UP COMING OUT OF
THIS COMMITTEE BROADLY SPEAKING.
I IN A WAY THAT WILL SUPPORT THE
CONSERVANCY'S EFFORTS ON THE
GROUND ALL OUR STATE AND DONE.
SO OUT WITHOUT AYE I DO RESPECT
VAST NIVEAU AND I AND I AND A
COMMITMENT ITSELF TO WORK
CLOSELY WITH YOU MISTER CHAIR IN
THE COMMITTEE ARE REGARDLESS OF
THE OUTCOME.
IT'S CALDERON.

JURISDICTIONS HAVE ALSO ADOPTED.
LOCAL HYPERLOCAL MANY CASES
COMMUNITY PLAN.
AND I THINK MOST OF US HERE WHO
HAD SOME EXPERIENCE IN LOCAL
GOVERNMENT UNDERSTAND I KNOW
THAT. THESE COMMITTEE PLANS
ALLOW FOR TAILORED AND
RESPONSIVE LAND USE PLANNING AT
THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL.
AND LOS ANGELES WHERE I LIVE.
IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF WORKING
YOU PLAN TO USE NOW MOST CITIES
AND COUNTIES UPDATE THE LAND USE
ELEMENT. AS PART OF THEIR
GENERAL THEIR LARGER GENERAL
PLAN UPDATE.
BUT FOR THE LARGEST
JURISDICTION.
MIKE THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES TO
HAVE SEVERAL.
MANY COMMUNITY PLAN
AREAS.
UPDATING THESE DOCUMENTS IS DONE
INDIVIDUALLY OUTSIDE THE NORMAL
GENERAL.
UPDATE PROCESS
WHICH MEANS IT THEY GO THROUGH
ADDITIONAL SEEK WHAT REVIEW.
THAT THIS EAGLE REVIEWS IMPORT
PART OF PROCESS ENSURES THAT THE
UPDATE IS THOROUGHLY ANALYZED
THE ALTERNATIVES ARE
INVESTIGATED THE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES AMPLE OPPORTUNITY
PARTICIPATE.
BUT TALK ALSO WEEKLY IMPORTANT
AT ANY LEGAL CHALLENGES TO
PROPOSE PLAN UNDER SECRET BE
EXPEDITIOUSLY HEARD. AND
RESOLVED TO AVOID A DELAY IN
CRITICAL PROJECTS AND IMPROVE
PUBLIC HEALTH MOBILITY OPTIONS
WERE PROVIDED NEEDED HOUSING.
WE HAVE COMMITTEE PLANS ON THE
BOOKS IN LOS ANGELES THAT OUR
THIRTY PLUS YEARS OLD.
NOW JUST TO GIVE YOU SENSE OF
WHY THAT IS A PROBLEM FOR.
THIS COMMITTEE.
THESE PLANS ARE HAVE ENSHRINED
AND OSSIFIED.
VALUES PLANNING VALUES THAT ARE
DEEPLY OF THE PAST.
AND THAT OUR.
ANTITHETICAL TO THE CORE
ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS THAT I KNOW
THIS CHAIR.
EMBRACES WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
SO PEACE PLAN STILL ENSHRINES
STRIP MALLS THAT PROMOTE DRIVING
OVER TRANSIT THEY PROMOTE ACTIVE
TRANSPORTATION THERE CLEARLY OUT
OF STEP WITH OUR PUBLIC HEALTH
AND INTERNAL PRAIRIES IN IN IN
MANY CASES.
BUT HERE'S THE PROBLEM IF IT
CITY CHOOSES TO UPDATE THE PLAN.
THEY RISK BOGGING DOWN ALL
DEVELOPMENT A COMMUNITY UNTIL
ANY SEQUEL LITIGATION IS
RESOLVED WHICH COULD TAKE FIVE
YEARS OR MORE AND DURING THAT
LITIGATION LITIGATION PROCESS.
PLANNERS AND DEVELOPERS DON'T
KNOW WHICH PLAN WILL ULTIMATELY.
GOVERNMENT LADIES DECISIONS FOR
THIS IS THE PROPER USE OF THEIR
LITTLE STUCK WITH TWO COMPETING
PLANS AT THE SAME TIME. AS THE
DEVELOPERS FIGURED I MIGHT STUCK
WITH THE OLD PLAN OF A SORT OF
THE NEW PLAN.
ARTS EVERYTHING IS PUT ON HOLD.
SO THIS BILL IS VERY OWN VERY
NARROWLY TAILORED IT ADDRESSES
THIS THIS.
VERY POINT
THAT HAS BECOME A PROBLEM IN OUR
LARGEST CITY.
IT ALLOWS QUALIFIED COMMITTEE
PLANS TO TAKE ADVATAGE OF THE
XPEDITED JUDICIAL REVIEW
PROCESS IN ORDER.
AT THAT ARE ALREADY IN CURRENT
LAW.
THAT'S AVAILABLE CERTAIN
LEADERSHIP PROJECTS BUT LET ME
BE VERY CLEAR THIS IS NOT ABOUT
PROJECTS ABOUT COMMUNITY PLANS
NOTHING IN THIS BILL.
SHORTENS OUR TRUNCATE.
THE REVIEW PROCESS UNDER SECRET
FOR IT PROJECTS.
COMMITTEE PLANS THAT.
ARE QUALIFY.
FOR EXPEDITED USUAL REVIEW MUST
STILL GO THROUGH EVERY SINGLE
STEP OF SECRET PROCESS
INCLUDING ENGAGING THE PROJECT
BY THE BURGER AND YOU CAN GO TO
THE PUBLIC.
I THESE PLANS CAN STILL BE SU TO
ENSURE THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAS
BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE UNDER
SEQUEL.
ALL THIS BILL DOES IS REDUCE THE
TIME IT TAKES A SECRET CHALLENGE
TWO A QUALIFYING COMMUNITY PLAN.
TO MOVE THROUGH OUR COURTS.
THEREFORE REDUCING UNCERTAINTY
THAT HAS REALLY MESSED UP THE
SITUATION A LOT OF PLACES.
AT THIS AND OCCURS DURING THE
LITIGATION PROCESS WE'VE DONE
THIS FOR IMPORTANT PROJECTS THAT
MEET SUPER HIGH ENVIRONMENTAL
STANDARDS.
THIS BILL TAKES.
ARE.
SO IS ARE WE HAVE A WHOLE SERIES
OF ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS THAT
WE.
OUR THAT THAT THAT THAT THAT
HAVE TO BE MET IN ORDER TO
TRIGGER WHAT'S IN HERE THAT
INCLUDES PROTECTING HABITAT
PARKS. AGRICULTURAL LANDS
REDUCING VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED
PROMOTING TRANSITORY
DEVELOPMENT.
I ALWAYS HAD AN INTENSE
DISCUSSION TRANSPORTATION
COMMITTEE JUST YESTERDAY OVER
DINNER WE NURSED ON WHEELS AND
WE DECIDED THAT IT WENT TOO FAR
BUT. YOU KNOW IT IT GOES TO SHOW
HOW HOW FRUSTRATED SOME FOLKS
ARE OUT THERE ABOUT.
ARE ABOUT THE NEED TO GET OUT
SOME MORE INFORMALLY FROM THE
DEVELOPMENT OUT THERE.
AND YOU KNOW.
THIS THIS.
REALLY FOCUSES ON THOSE CREE
PLANTED HAVE SUPER HIGH
ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS.
I THAT THE PLAINTIFFS HAVE TO
FURTHER STATES CLINICAL THROUGH
CONSISTENCY WITH IMPROVE
SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY STRATEGY
OR AN ETERNITY OF. PLANNING
STRATEGY MUST COMPLY WITH
REGIONAL CLEAN AIR STANDARDS.
PLEASE ALSO MUST INCLUDE
SUFFICIENT HOUSING TO COMEDY
REGION HOUSING NEEDS IF A PLAN
MEETS IS HIGH THE. THRESHOLD BUT
ONLY IF
A PLAN MEETS ITS HIGH THRESHOLD
IT WILL QUALIFY FOR EXPLODED
JUDICIAL REVIEW SO IT HIGH
STANDARDS.
DIFFICULT TO TRIGGER.
WE ARE NOT TRUNCATING SEE THE
PROCESS WE ARE NOT LIMITING
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.
IT'S A VERY TAILORED BILL
DESIGNED TO ADDRESS A VERY REAL
PROBLEM.
AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE
CONSIDERS.
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT OF.
EP OR S. B. NINE FOR A.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS SYLVIA
SOLELY SHAUN BEHALF OF CITY OF
LOS ANGELES
MAYOR ERIC GARCETTI WE'RE HERE
IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL. AND WE
BELIEVE THAT THIS BILL PROMOTES
LONG RANGE COMMUNITY PLANNING
EFFORTS AROUND THE STATE THAT
EXPAND HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES
PROTECT OPEN SPACE AND REDUCE
GHGS.
AND WE AGREE WITH SENATOR ALLEN
THAT THIS IS A VERY LIMITED IN
FOCUS BILL THAT EXPANDS UPON
EXISTING STATE UP PROVISIONS.
AND APPLY THEM TO COMMUNITY
PLANS.
MEETING ESTABLISHED
ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
CRITERIA AGAIN WANT TO EMPHASIZE
THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE QUIT
SELF BUT IT DOES THE CRITICAL
WORK OF SUPPORTING COMMUNITY
PLANNING AT THE LOCAL LEVEL IN
RECOGNIZING THAT ENVIRONMENTAL
LEADERSHIP EXTENDS TO LONG RANGE
PLANS IN ADDITION TO DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS.
THE STATE ALREADY REQUIRES THAT
LOCALS ADOPT GENERAL PLANS WHICH
FOR LARGER TOURIST*
JURISDICTIONS SUCH AS OURS
INCLUDES COMMUNITY PLANS AND
SEEK ALREADY HAS PROVISIONS FOR
HOW UPDATED GENERAL PLANS OR
SPUR.
PLANS MAY AFFECT PROJECT REVIEW
THIS BUILD DOES NOT ATTEMPT TO
MAKE IT. AND CHANGES TO ANY OF
THOSE PROVISIONS.
I'M I ALSO LIKE TO ADD A FEW
WORDS ABOUT THE HOLLYWOOD
COMMUNITY PLAN WHICH IS
REFERENCED IN THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS. I'M DAN ALICE'S GOES
INTO PRETTY GREAT DETAIL ON THAT
PLAN.
LEAVE BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE
SOME INACCURACIES RELATING TO
THE LITIGATION IN THE ANALYSIS.
THAT INNING INK COLLUDING
LITIGATION OVER ANOTHER GENERAL
GENERAL PLAN ELEMENT THAT IS NOT
THE SUBJECT OF THIS MEASURE.
I'M THE REPEAL THEN HOUSES ALSO
INDICATES THAT THE HOLLYWOOD
COMMUNITY PLAN HAS ALREADY BEEN
APPROVED. HOWEVER THE FACT IS
THAT THAT A DRAFT OF THAT YEAH I
ARE FOR THAT PLAN IS EXPECTED TO
BE RELEASED EARLY THIS SUMMER.
FOLLOWED BY PUBLIC HEARINGS
THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE
YEAR HOWEVER JUST TO BRING THE
FOCUS BACK TO THE BILL I WOULD
ADD THAT THIS IS NOT ABOUT
COMMUNITY PLAN ABOUT THE
HOLLYWOOD COMMUNITY PLAN THIS IS
ABOUT COMMUNITY PLANS IN
GENERAL.
IN LOS ANGELES AND THROUGHOUT
THE STATE AND THE CITY OF LA
RECENTLY UPDATED THE SOUTH LA
AND SOUTH AND EAST LA COMMUNITY
PLANS WERE WERE SUPPORTED BY A
BROAD COALITION OF STAKEHOLDERS.
THE PLANS WERE NOT LITIGATED BUT
IF AND WHEN LITIGATION OCCURRED
IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO MOVE
EXPEDITIOUSLY TO HEAR THE
LITIGATION AND RENDER A
DECISION.
IN THE CASE OF THE HOLLYWOOD
COMMUNITY PLAN THAT THE FIRST
VERSION IT TOOK NEARLY TWO YEARS
TO REACH A COURT DECISION WHICH
THE CITY RESPECTED AND ABIDED
TOO BUT PUT A NUMBER OF PROJECTS
IN LIMBO AND CREATED VAST
UNCERTAINTY ON ALL SIDES.
AND THE CITY LEADING THE WAY IN
ADOPTING A LONG RANGE OF LAND
USE PLANS TO INCREASE HOUSING
OPPORTUNITIES IN RESPONSE TO OUR
SIGNIFICANT STATE RIGHT HOUSING
CRISIS.
UNLIKE SMALLER JURISDICTIONS LA
AND SEVERAL OTHER LARGE
JURISDICTIONS. HAVE MULTIPLE
COMMUNITY PLANS THAT REQUIRE
INDIVIDUAL UPDATES
MAYOR GARCETTI HAS COMMITTED TO
HAVE ALL OF ALL THIRTY FIVE OF
ALLEYS COMMUNITY PLANS UPDATED
BY TWENTY TWENTY FOUR.
AND THE CITY IS COMMITTED
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO FUND
THESE EFFORTS.
AND THIS IS BECAUSE WE BELIEVE
THAT THIS IS ONE CRUCIAL STEP.
IN DEVELOPING MORE HOUSING MUCH
NEEDED MUCH MUCH NEEDED HOUSING
IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES.
SO WE BELIEVE THIS BILL
ENCOURAGES JURISDICTIONS ACROSS
THE STATE TO MAXIMIZE OUR
EFFORTS TO ADOPT LOCAL LAND USE
PLANS INCREASE HOUSING CAPACITY
OPPORTUNITIES.
AND FOR THESE REASONS WE SUPPORT
THIS MEASURE AND ASK FOR YOUR
FAVORABLE CONSIDERATION THING.
THANK YOU OTHERS IN SUPPORT OF
SB NINE FOUR EIGHT PLEASE COME
FOR MISTER CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE
MEMBER SILVIO FOR I'M HALF THE
CALIFORNIA BUILDING INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION CALIFORNIA BUSINESS
PROPERTIES ASSOCIATION IN THE
BUILDING OWNERS AND MANAGERS
ASSOCIATION SUPPORT.
GOOD AFTERNOON COMMITTEE MEMBERS
I'M LERON GUBLER PRESIDENCY OF
THE HOLLYWOOD CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE SPEAKING IN FAVOR OF
THE BILL WE URGE YOU TO SUPPORT
IT. OF THIS IS NOT PERTINENT TO
NEEDED REALLY ACCELERATE. THE
CHANGING AND UPDATING OF OLD
OUTDATED COMMUNITY PLAN SUCH AS
WE HAVE IN HOLLYWOOD AND BRING
THEM INTO LINE.
STATES ENVIRONMENTAL CLIMATE
CLEAN AIR GOALS AND HOUSING
BILLS SO WE WOULD URGE YOU TO A.
TO HELP US GET A NEW COMMUNITY
PLANET HOLLYWOOD HAS AND ALL
OTHER PLACES AS WELL BY
SUPPORTING THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON ACOSTA HEINLEIN
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE EAST
HOLLYWOOD BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT ALSO IN SUPPORT OF THE
SPELL THINKING.
GOOD EITHER.
FOLKS HERE THAT ARE OPPOSED TO
SP FOUR NINE FOUR EIGHT.
AGAINST A HUG.
I.
GOOD AFTERNOON CALL JONES A
CYNICAL CALIFORNIA UNFORTUNATELY
OPPOSED THE BILL TODAY.
.
ONE OF OUR BIGGEST CONCERNS IS
THAT.
THERE'S EXISTS ON THE BOOKS
RIGHT NOW I COMMUNITY PLAN
EXEMPTION.
IN ADDITION TO NUMEROUS OTHER
AYE TYPES OF STREAMLINING AND
EXEMPTIONS FOR PROJECTS THAT ARE
CONSISTENT WITH PLANTS.
SO. WHAT'S CONCERNING IS THAT
IF PEOPLE DON'T GET THE ABILITY
TO FULLY AND THOROUGHLY LITIGATE
ANY CLAIMS THAT ARE DONE DURING
THE PLANNING PROCESS. ODD THAT
MANY PROJECTS THAT ARE COMPLIANT
WITH THAT PLAN THAT COULD BE
LEGALLY DEFICIENT UP COULD BE
COMPLETELY EXEMPT FROM SEQUENCE.
IS THAT BECAUSE THE TIME IS
TRUNCATED BECAUSE GOD ANYWAY
BECAUSE THE TIME IS TRUNCATED I
THINK THAT THERE THERE'S.
.
I'M I'M NOT SURE WHAT COULD
EXACTLY HAPPENED DURING THIS
TRUNCATED PROCESS.
.
THAT WITH REGARDS TO HOW THE
HEARING THE THINGS OVERSEE BUT.
AS I UNDERSTAND IT I THINK.
FRANCE AND USUAL COUNSEL GET
INTO IT TO IT IF IT DOES.
I THINK LEVER OF AIR WHEN YOU
TRY TO RUSH THESE ARM. AND AND I
WOULD WE DO NOT SUPPORT AB NINE
HUNDRED BUT THOSE PROJECTS THAT
ARE ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP
PROJECTS ARE. MEET SPECIFIED IN
CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS.
DOT ARE VERIFIED
I AND AND THESE ARE SINGLE
PROJECTS.
I'VE. BEEN CONTRAST COMMUNITY
PLANTS.
ARE LARGER MUCH MORE COMPLEX
WITH MANY MOVING PARTS TO IT
EITHER COULD BE MANY MORE
PARTIES TO TRY TO COORDINATE
BECAUSE OF HOW MANY YOU KNOW IF
YOU'RE IF YOU'RE GETTING IN A
NUMBER OF NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS
MIGHT BE UPSET OR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT.
.
I AM PARTY TO CHIU LITIGATION
RIGHT NOW AND WE'VE SPENT OVER
SIX MONTHS DEALING WITH PICKING
OUT HOT OF WHO'S COVERING THE
COST OF PREPARING FOR THE
ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD.
ANSWER SOME OF THESE THINGS
THESE NEGOTIATIONS CAN.
YOU KNOW IT'S NOT THE FAULT OF
AN AIDS THAT'S JUST HOW THINGS
TURN OUT AND AND PEOPLE CAN'T
REACH AGREEMENT AND IT'S JUST
IMPOSSIBLE TO TO MOVE ALONG
THESE TIME FRAMES.
.
I WOULD NOTE THAT THERE'S
THERE'S THERE'S OTHER PROVISIONS
WITH AND SEEK WHY THAT THAT
COULD BE USED FOR COMMUNITY
PLANTS YOU TO BETTER EXPECT
PROCESS.
THINGS LIKE CONCURRENT
PREPARATION OF THE RECORD OUT
WHICH WHICH REALLY SPEEDS THINGS
UP.
PRE CONSULTATION MEETINGS OUT
GETTING ITS TOUCH WITH
STAKEHOLDERS EARLY. ALL THOSE
CAN HELP MAKE SURE THAT ANY
CONCERNS THAT ARE OUT THERE ARE
HEARD EARLY ADDRESS YOU SOONEST
POSSIBLE TO REMOVE ANY
OPPOSITION BY THE TIME YOU GET
TOWARD CERTIFICATION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT.
SO AGAIN WE'RE JUST CONCERNED
ABOUT HOW HOW THESE PROVISIONS
OF THIS LAW WILL PLAY OUT I AM
AND VIRTUALLY OR JOURNAL ABOUT
TODAY THANK YOU YOU HAVE AN
OPINION. THAT IF.
THAT'S THE BILL IS WRITTEN IF
THEY IF YOU MEET A CERTAIN
CRITERIA TO COMMUNITY PLANS ARE
DEEMED.
LEADERSHIP PROJECTS OR HAVE A
BEAT NINE HUNDRED THAT'S NOT
WITHOUT THE TYPICAL.
TYPICALLY EVEN I HAVE HAD THAT
THE GOVERNOR HAD TO CERTIFY AND
THERE WAS A TIME. THAT WE HAD
THAT. THE LEGISLATURE TO CONCUR
SAID THOSE WOULD NOT BE.
YEAH AND I THINK OF IT I THINK
THAT IT'S PROCESS
YEAH I THINK THAT THAT PROCESS
AYE DOES PRESENT PROBLEMS
BECAUSE ALTHOUGH THERE ARE.
THERE'S THERE ARE REQUIREMENTS
IN THE BILL FOR WHAT THE
COMMUNITY PLANS HAVE TO DO TO
MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE OF
DIED. THIS.
I I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S NO
THERE'S NOT AS MUCH EVERYTHING
OF A VERIFICATION I'M I SUPPOSE
I COULD BE LITIGATED.
.
QUICKLY YEAH.
I WAS HERE FROM TO JUDICIAL
CUSTOMERS TO POUND.
AFTERNOON CHAIR MEMBERS TEMPO
FOR THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL.
AND INCLUDING S. B. NINE FORTY A
THERE HAVE NOW BEEN THIRTY.
WHEN THE STRESS THAT THIRTY
BILLS.
THEY'RE BINNER DO JUST SINCE THE
ENACTMENT OF A B. NINE HUNDRED
AND SB TWO NINETY TWO AND TWENTY
ELEVEN.
THEY HAVE SOUGHT TO TAKE THE
EXPERT I JUDICIAL REVIEW. OR THE
LIMITED.
INDUCTIVE RELIEF PROVISIONS OR
BOTH.
OR A FEW SPECIALLY COURT BILLS
HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED SINCE THAT
TIME THE COUNCIL HAS BEEN ON
RECORD IN OPPOSITION TO EACH AND
EVERYONE OF THOSE BILLS.
AS I SHARED WITH THE AUTHOR AND
HIS STAFF WE HAD A LONG MEETING
ABOUT THIS.
THE COUNCIL'S OPPOSITION TO THIS
BILL.
IS LIMITED TO THE COURT IMPACTS.
OF SUCH LEGISLATION AND IT
SIGNIFICANT INTERFERENCE.
PROVIDE EQUAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE
TWO ALL LITIGANTS AND ALL THOSE
OTHER CASES ON THE COURT'S
DOCKET SO THERE. JUST TO BE
CLEAR THE COUNCIL TAKES NO VIEWS
ON SECRET GENERALLY OR COMMUNITY
PLANS ON THE MERITS OF THE
VARIOUS COMMUNITY PLANTS IT
WOULD BE COVERED BY THIS BILL.
THOSE ISSUES ARE OUTSIDE OUR
PURVIEW.
AND THEY. QUICKLY THE COUNCIL'S
CONCERNS ABOUT THE BILL FIRST
ARE WITH THE TWO HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY DAY TIMELINE THAT WOULD
APPLY WHICH IS THE TIMELINE THAT
APPLIES UNDER A. B. NINE
HUNDRED.
THIS IS AN ARBITRARY TIME LINE
THAT WAS ARRIVED AT WITHOUT ANY
CONSULTATION WITH THE COURTS.
A JUDICIAL OFFICERS THAT HAVE
EXPERIENCE IN HEARING SECRET
CASES. IT WAS DRIVEN BY EXTERNAL
FACTORS LIKE THE NATIONAL
BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION BOND
COUNSEL OTHER. THAT PRESSURES
THAT WERE WERE COMING TO BEAR
WITH THE LEGISLATION BACK IN THE
TWENTY ELEVEN. BUT IT DOES NOT
HAVE A CONNECTION TO WHAT TIME
IT TAKES FOR THE COURTS AT THE
TRIAL AND APPELLATE LEVEL TO
PROPERLY DISPOSE OF THESE
COMPLEX.
SEQUENT CASES
I AM AS NOTED IN THE COMMITTEES
ANALYSIS.
SECRET CASES ARE ALREADY
STATUTORILY ENTITLED TO CALENDAR
PREFERENCE.
AND IN ADDITION IN VIRTUALLY ALL
COURTS IN THE STATE EXCEPT FOR A
FEW SMALL RULE COURTS.
THE CASES HAVE TO BE PRESIDED
OVER BY JUDGES THAT HAVE SPECIAL
EXPERTISE AND TRAINING IN
HANDLING.
C. QUOTA.
SO M. THAT THE TWO HUNDRED
SEVENTY DAY TIMELINE IS THAT WE
ALSO BELIEVE IT'S JUST
UNREALISTIC AS A PRACTICAL
MATTER. NOT IN MOST CASES FOR
THE COURTS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE IT
BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY. THAN
ALL OF THOSE CONCERNS.
THIS ULTRA CALENDAR PREFERENCE
IN MOVING THESE CASES TO THE
ABSOLUTE FRONT OF THE LINE AT
THE EXPENSE OF EVERY OTHER CASE.
THIS MAN WORKING ITS WAY THROUGH
THE SYSTEM ON THE COURT'S DOCKET
JUST A COUPLE OF QUICK EXAMPLES.
THE CASE BROUGHT UNDER THE
HOMEOWNER BILL OF RIGHTS WHICH
IS SOMETHING THAT THIS
LEGISLATURE HAS PRIORITIZED.
WOULD MOVE BACK IN LINE A CASE
INVOLVING ELDER ABUSE OR
ASBESTOS LITIGATION INVOLVING
DYING PLAINTIFFS WOULD MOVE.
BACK IN THE LINE OF PERSONAL
INJURY ACTION. INVOLVING A
SEVERELY BRAIN DAMAGED CHILD
WHOSE PARENTS ARE SIMPLY SEEKING
TO GET THEIR RECOVERY TO TAKE
CARE OF THAT CHILD WOULD MOVE.
BACK IN LINE AND THERE ARE NOT
LOBBYING GROUPS THAT COME TO
THIS LEGISLATURE TO REPRESENT
THOSE INTERESTS IT'S.
THE COURT TO A CHARGE WITH
DISPENSING EQUAL ACCESS TO
JUSTICE
IN EVERYONE OF THESE CASES
WITHOUT RESPECT TO THE FINANCIAL
RESOURCES OR THE POLITICAL
INFLUENCE.
OF THOSE PARTIES THIS IS JUST
FUNDAMENTALLY THIS SYSTEM IN WHY
WE HAVE OPPOSE SO MANY OF THESE
BILLS.
IS THAT IS JUST FUNDAMENTALLY AT
ODDS WITH OUR COURT SYSTEM IS
SUPPOSED TO OPERATE WE ALL KNOW
THE SAYING ABOUT JUSTICE DELAYED
IS JUSTICE DENIED IN THAT
pSO DIFFICULT FOR THE COURTS TO
ACCEPT THIS SCHEME THAT KEEPS
BEING PRESENTED OVER AND OVER
AND OVER AGAIN.
FINALLY I WOULD JUST POINT OUT
IN IN RESPONSE TO YOUR QUESTION
WE OPPOSE DATING AT WE HAD
CONCERNED WITH AB NINE HUNDRED
AND ALL OF THAT LEGISLATION
SINCE THEN. BUT AS YOU.
NOTED.
IT IS A CONSTRUCT THAT IS DRIVEN
BY PARTICULAR PROJECTS THAT HAVE
TO MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA.
AND THEREFORE ARE IF THEY'VE
BEEN CERTIFIED BY THE GOVERNOR
AND THIS LEGISLATURE HAS
CONCURRED. THEN THOSE PROJECTS
ARE ENTITLED.
TO THE TO THE XCELERATED
JUDICIAL REVIEW THIS IS NOT
PROJECT SPECIFIC
AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS WHEN WE
WHEN WE MET. IT'S REALLY HARD
FOR US TO WRAP OUR HEADS AROUND
HOW YOU.
DEEMED.
LITIGATION INVOLVING A COMMUNITY
PLAN.
TO BE THEY'VE AN APPROVED
PROJECT.
FOR THAT KIND OF TREATMENT IT
JUST THE CONSTRUCT DOESN'T MAKE
SENSE AND THE RULES. THAT WE
ADOPTED TO IMPLEMENT AB NINE
HUNDRED AGAIN ARE ARE ARE BASED
ON LITIGATION THAT INVOLVES
PROJECTS I'M NOT SURE WHAT
CHANGES IF ANY WE WOULD HAVE TO
MAKE.
I'M SURE THIS BILL BE ENACTED IN
ITS FOR ALL OF THOSE REASONS
THAT WE MUST RESPECTFULLY. I'M
HAVE TO OPPOSE AND ASK FOR YOUR
NO VOTE ON THIS MEASURE THROUGH
THE COURTS RULES BECAUSE.
AB I HAD HEARD. THE THOUGHTS.
GOLD CERTIFIED.
LEAPED SCHOOLED CERTIFY YOU KNOW
INFUSION OF NEW JOBS HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS TO RATHER
CRITERIA THE CRITERION THAT THE
STAFF REPORT. ON PAGE NINE
REFERENCES TO THIS IS THAT
THERE'S A STRATEGY TO REDUCE
VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED THERE
IT'S CONSISTENT REGIONAL PLANTS
PROTECTING ENVIRONMENTALLY
SENSITIVE HABITAT INCLUDE
HOUSING CAPACITY ARE THOSE.
THE QUESTION IS
THE VAGUENESS OF THOSE TERMS
HERE IS THAT ENOUGH OF A OF A.
OF A DESCRIPTION FOR THE COURTS
TO DEVELOP POLICY WAS PRETTY
EASY HUNDRED MILLIONS HUNDRED
MILLION RIGHT.
YEAH THE AYE AYE OR THE V. WHO
COULD YOU JUST.
USE THE TEMPLATE THAT YOU HAVE
FOR AP NINE HUNDRED M. IF THE
CASE IS BROUGHT UNDER NINE AB
NINE HUNDRED AYE AYE. IN AND IN
RESPONSE TO YOUR QUESTION.
I AM ASSUMING THAT THE.
.
THE
PLAINTIFFS COULD IN ADDITION.
AND BE ARGUING THAT IT WASN'T
ELIGIBLE FOR THE STREAMLINED
EXPEDITED TREATMENT BECAUSE IT
DID NOT MEET THE PARTICULAR
STANDARDS WHAT THE COURTS ARE
FACED WITH IT IF A CASE IS
BROUGHT UNDER AB NINE HUNDRED IF
THE PROJECT HAS BEEN CERTIFIED.
A THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR TRIP
TRYING TO MOVE THAT IT THIS
ALTAR XCELERATED RATE AT BOTH
THE TRIAL.
AND THE APPELLATE LEVEL IN THE
IN THE LITIGATION UNDERTAKEN ON
HOW TO GET THE WHERE IS ARENA.
CONFUSE ME ON THE THEY PRESENT
THE JUDGE PRESIDING OVER THE
CASE.
ASSIGNED TO ATTORNEYS WERE
RATHER THAN THE ONE THAT IS
NORMALLY ASSIGNED THEY WORK
NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS TO TRY TO
MEET THE. SUPER ACCELERATED
TIMELINE AGAIN AT THE EXPENSE OF
THE OTHER CASES AND THE OTHER
THING IT'S INSTRUCTIVE ABOUT THE
WHERE'S LITIGATION IS THAT. IN
THE SMALL PERCENTAGE OF CASES
THAT WE UNDERSTAND GETS
LITIGATED UNDER SECRET THEY ARE
USUALLY HIGHLY CONTENTIOUS
WELL RESOURCE PARTIES ON BOTH
SIDES THAT ARE FIGHTING IT OUT.
EVERY POSSIBLE CAUSE OF ACTION
IS BEING BROUGHT AND YOU HAVE
THIS M..
.
AN ANOMALY SITUATION WHERE THE
SEQUEL PORTION GETS LITIGATED
UNDER THE TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY
DAY TIMELINE BUT LIKE IN THE
WAYS ARENA CASE. THERE WERE
OTHER OTHER CAUSES OF ACTION
SUITS BROUGHT.
WITH A. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
CAUSES OF ACTION THAT WOULD BE
LITIGATED UNDER HER NORMAL.
I'M TIMELINE WHICH IS IT JUST
DIDN'T ANOTHER ANOMALY ABOUT.
THE AND CONCERNED THAT WE HAVE
ABOUT THIS SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR
THE SUB CATEGORY OF CASE QUE
OTHER SUPPOSED TO S. B. A. NINE
FOUR EIGHT.
CLOSE UP PUBLIC HEARINGS.
I.
THE THAT.
.
CENTER STERN.
I'LL START AND THEN I KNOW
YOU'VE PROBABLY GOT THOUGHTS TO
AYE I NORMALLY.
.
FOR ME LET ME IS SENATE AROUND
BUT I I'M.
.
YEAH I GOT.
GOT SOME CONCERNS HERE'S SOME OF
WHAT WAS OUTLINED AND SOME NOT.
BUT WHILE WE HAD JUDICIAL
COUNCIL HERE DID HE THE. I JUST
WANTED TO GET A SENSE.
DAN.
TO JUST. QUICK TECHNO QUESTIONS
OR HOW HOW IS AB NINE HUNDRED
GONE WHOSE ACTUALLY USE THIS
EXPEDITED JUDICIAL REVIEW SO FAR
HAVE.
DID YOU SENSE IT. IT WAS IT THE
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP LAWYERS HAVE
YEAH.
SO IT WAS THAT IT WITH THE APPLE
DE THE APPLE SPACESHIP THING DID
AND THE WARRIORS DID AND THAT'S
IT.
UP TO DATE ARM.
NIGHT
NINE OR TEN.
A IT THE LAST TIME I LOOKED ON
APPEARS WEBSITE HAD BEEN
APPROVED FOR. THE AB NINE
HUNDRED STREAMLINED TREATMENT.
DALY LADY AT THE TWO SUITS I'M
AWARE OF TODAY AT ONE WAS THE
WHERE IS ARENA THAT WE ALREADY
TALKED ABOUT.
THERE LAWSUIT ACTUALLY AGAINST
THE KINGS ARENA DOWNTOWN ANNA
WAS LITIGATED UNDER THE PRO
TEM'S SB SEVEN FORTY THREE IT
TOOK THE SAME BASIC TIME NINER
PROCESS EXACTLY YEAH.
AND SO TODAY.
THEY'RE THE ONLY TWICE WE'VE
SEEN IT UGLY ACTIVE RECOVERY
TIME OKAY OKAY.
THAT WAS ONE QUESTION.
WHICH I THINK FOR THAT ANSWER
BUT FROM FOR THE AUTHOR.
THIS THIS THIS QUESTION VERY
CONCERNING ME THIS DOES NOT I
THINK IT'S ON PAGE EIGHT IN THE
ANALYSIS.
SORT OF NO PROJECT SPECIFIC
REVIEW THIS IS
SOUNDS MORE LIKE THIS YEAR CLUBS
CONCERNED THAT.
I DON'T WANT TO BACK DOOR BUNCH
OF HOUSING PROJECTS THROUGH A
COMMUNITY PLAN WITHOUT THOROUGH
VETTING SO I'M I'M.
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT IF
YOU'RE ONLY DOING THE EXPEDITED
ROUTE.
WHAT'S IN THIS FOR THE NINE
HUNDRED PROCESS YOU'RE GETTING
THE THE PROJECT LEVEL REVIEW YES
IT'S IT'S EXPEDITED IT'S HARD ON
THE COURTS BUT AT LEAST YOU'RE
SORT OF DOWN THE PROJECT LEVEL.
YEAH I JUST WANT TO GET YOUR
REACTION TO THAT THAT THAT
CONCERNED ABOUT SORT OF.
HOLLYWOOD APPROVES THEIR CAMINO
PLAN.
GREAT BUT THEN DO YOU DO YOU IS
YOUR INTENT TO HAVE THEN EVERY
HOUSING PROJECT UNDER THAT'S OR
TEAR OFF THAT AND THEN NOT BE SO
JANET OFFICE AND SEE NOT A WHOLE
I MEAN IT'S IT'S WITH THERE'S
NOTHING IN THIS BILL THAT YOU
JUST TO SEE CRACKLE. APPLICABLE
FOR ANY THE PROJECTS THAT RESULT
IS PART OF A PLAN I MEAN. IT'S
OF IT DID THIS ONLY OUR HOUSE TO
DO WITH THE REVIEW OF THE PLAN.
SO THE PROJECTS ARE DONE WITHIN
THE CONTEXT OF THE.
YEAH OF THE PLAN.
ARE STILL GOING TO BE.
DID THIS BILL DOESN'T THIS
ABILITY TOUCH UPON SEQUEL
ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE PROJECT
OR.
THAT.
THAT
I MEAN THAT'S SURE DEPENDS ON.
THE CITY CAN.
DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF PROJECT
CAN USE THAT IF THE IF A
PROJECTS BEING APPLIED FOR THAT
MEETS EVERYTHING THAT WAS IN THE
PLAN. THIS CITY CAN DO ENACTED
YOU KNOW IN OTHER WORDS SAY.
THAT IT DOESN'T REQUIRE
ADDITIONAL SECRET REVIEW IT JUST
DEPENDS ON OUR HANDS UP LIKE IT
ALREADY YET BUT THE BUT I'M JUST
MEN IS.
I SAW THE BLANKET STATEMENT ON.
THAT IT.
WOULD NOT TOUCH ANY SEE FOR
REVIEW OF ANY OTHER PROJECTS
UNDER THE PLAN IS NOT FULLY
ACCURATE JUST BECAUSE RATE
DEPENDS HOW THEY FILE A. TREADLE
DOESN'T I MEAN IF THEY VANDALIZE
THE POTENTIALLY IMPACT SAY OF
WHATEVER HOUSE TIERED THINGS ARE
IN THE RAINY PLAN MAYBE THEN
THEY'LL TRY DECADE YEAH ON OUR
RESPECT AND ONLY THING I MEAN
BEEN IS THAT IN THAT RESPECT THE
BILL SLIGHTLY DOES BECAUSE OF.
BY STREAMLINING SEQUEL AND
NARROWING THE WINDOW THERE COULD
BE PROJECTS THAT.
THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN PREVENTED
AND I'M HEIGHT ADVOCATING PRO OR
CON I'M JUST SAYING THAT COULD
HAVE BEEN PREVENTED.
IF SOMEBODY CHALLENGE THE PLAN.
CORRECT BECAUSE THE PLAN ITSELF
WOULD HAVE BEEN MODIFIED.
IT SAID SO I MEAN SO I WOULD SAY
ON THAT FRONT THROUGH THE CHAIR
WE'VE BEEN HAVING OUR OWN
COLLOQUY HERE BUT.
.
I HAVE SOME ASSURANCE IN THE
THIS ISN'T GONNA END AROUND THAT
PROCESS MAY BE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
RTF EXISTING ACHES.
DISCRETION TO.
TO TO DO A NET DECK AFTER THIS
FOR SORT OF PROJECT LEVEL BUT.
NOTHING
MEAN IF YOUR INTENT ISN'T TO TO
GET AROUND THAT THEN.
THAT'S GOTTA BE A LOT CLEARER
HERE ONE OTHER THING IF YOU'LL
INDULGE MISTER CHAIRMAN OTHER.
RE LIKE I CAN'T IT WITHOUT
FURTHER SORT OF ASSURANCE I
CAN'T GET THERE YET ON THIS BILL
IS.
.
A LOT OF COMPLY INCONSISTENCIES
SO COMPLYING WITH THE REGIONAL
CLEAN AIR STANDARDS CONSISTENT
WITH IN SCS.
CONSISTENT WITH APPLICABLE
REGIONAL PLANS FOR ASHA AND AG
LAND. BUT YOU'RE SAYING.
YOU AT YOU SAID YOUR STATEMENT
SIR SUPER HIGH BAR RIGHT U. S.
AT A SUPER HIGH BAR.
IT SEEMS TO ME YOU NEED
SOMETHING MORE RIGOROUS THAN
JUST MERE CONSISTENCY WITHIN SCS
BECAUSE I MEAN THE WAY THREE
SANTEE FIVE.
WORKS RIGHT NOW IS.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY HAVE PROJECTS
THAT INCREASE EMISSIONS
AND SOME PROJECT THE DECREASE
EMISSIONS IN THE NET NET THAT
WHOLE THAT WHOLE REGIONAL
LIMPIO.
THIS GUY CHAU OKAY WHERE WE'RE
GOING DOWN OVER TIME BUT.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE AIR
BORDER IN A STRATEGIC ACCOUNTS
THERE'S GONNA BE SOME WAY TO SAY
THIS IS A SUPER HIGH STANDARDS
NOT JUST COMPLIANT WITH. IT IN
THEORY ON THE WAY I READ THIS
NOW YOU CAN ACTUALLY HAVE A
COMMUNITY PLAN THAT INCREASED
EMISSIONS.
BUT WE STILL COMPLY WITH AN S.
C. S..
DO YOU DO YOU SEE WHAT I'M
GETTING AT HERE LIKE HOW DO YOU
HOW DO YOU SEE. HOW DO YOU MAKE
IT CLEAR THAT IT'S GOING TO BE
SUPER HIGH THAT THAT YOU'RE
GOING TO MEET AND? THAT YOU'RE
GOING TO EXCEED WHAT IN SCS IS
OR THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
SOME.
YEAH YEAH I LISTEN I I THINK YOU
HEARD THE INTENT HERE RIGHT THE
AYE AYE LISTENED AYE I HEAR HOW
THIS IS TOUGH THIS THIS BILL IS
A COMPLICATED OFFICE COMMITTEE.
IT IS ABSOLUTE MY INTENTION FOR.
FOR ONE OF THE POSITIVE SIDE
EFFECTS OF THIS BILL.
TO BE.
OUR A GREENING UP OF OUR
COMMUNITY PLANS I MEAN OBVIOUSLY
IT WON'T REQUIRE EVERY COMMUNITY
TO GREEN UP THERE COMMITTEE KLAN
BUT IF THEY WANT A BILL TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPTION I WANT
TO MAKE SURE THERE'S AN
UNEQUIVOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL
DAMAGE.
FOR EVERYBODY ASSOCIATED WITH
THEIR COMPLAINTS OF THIS LAW SO.
SO THAT IS MY LIKE.
THAT IS MY ABSOLUTE TEN.
AND IF.
YOU NOTE SO SO LET'S WORK ON
LANGUAGE I MEAN LET LET'S LET'S
LET'S LET'S MAKE SURE THAT THAT
SITUATION DOESN'T HAPPEN I MEAN.
IT'S GOT TO BE MORE THAN
CONSISTENCY I MEAN IT'S GOT TO
BE AIRBOARD ROLE HERE OR SOME
STRATEGIC GROWTH COUNCIL ROLE I
DON'T WHO CERTIFIES THE SCS IS
IS THAT THE AIR.깱HERE WE ARE
OPR AIR BOARD. CSS
UNDER NINE.
OPR CERTIFIES THE NINE HUNDRED
PROJECTS BUT EVEN WITHIN BEFORE
YOU GET TO THAT OPR STAGE I'M
SAYING MAYBE YOU GOTTA GET THE
AIR BOARD AND OR SOMETHING TO
MAKE SURE THAT. THIS IS
SUPER HIGH.
YEAH YEAH I WASN'T SEE IF THIS
BILL DOES MAKE IT OUT IT WILL GO
TO JUDICIARY COMMITTEE WHICH I
KNOW YOU SERVE THERE AS WELL.
I'M I THINK NEXT WEEK SO WHAT I
CAN.
OBSOLETE COMMITTEE YOU IS
WORKING WITH YOUR OFFICE OR IN
THE COMMITTEE OFFICE.
YOU KNOW WORKING WITH YOUR
OFFICE CENTER SKINNER'S WHILE
I'M TO.
YOU KNOW TO FIGURE OUT LANGUAGE
THAT WILL MEET THAT YOU THAT
THAT WILL THAT WILL ASSURE YOU.
THAT THERE WILL BE OBSOLETE KNOW
BACKSLIDING AND IN FACT THERE
WILL BE OBSOLETE.
PROGRESS.
I.
YOU KNOW THE ENVIRONMENTAL
PROGRESS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY
PLAN. THAT PEOPLE WOULD DRAW UP
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
BENEFITS IN THIS.
IN THIS BILL.
SO I CAN ACTUALLY MAKE DOCUMENTS
YOU.
I JUST
CENTER SKINNER DID THE COMMITTEE
RECOMMEND AMENDMENTS THAT MIGHT
HAVE DONE THAT ARE NOT WELL IF
THE IF THE COMMITMENT WAS FOR
GREENING UP THESE COMMUNITY
PLANS. THAT COMMITTEE OFFERED AS
TIED THE IDEA THIS CRITERIA ON
THE COMMITTEE PLANS WOULD UNDER
THE SP TWO FUNDING FOR.
.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING HOUSING
MONEY THEY WOULD GET A.
THE GUYS IN THERE GO THE TOP
UNLESS THEY WOULD BE THEY WOULD
INCENTIVIZE THAT THEY WE GET
THESE FUNDING.
IT FUNDING PRIORITY WITH THESE
NEW COMMUNITY I PLAN TO GET
DEVELOPED I'D WAS THAT IT WAS A.
I TOTALLY APPRECIATED THAT THE
THE ISSUE FOR MY FOLKS IS NOT
THE FUNDING I MEAN FINDING IT
CERTAINLY BE NICE BUT. YOU KNOW
THE ISSUE IS.
THE FACT IT WAS THAT WE NOW
HAVE ALL OF THE SITUATIONS WE
ALL TO LIMBO BETWEEN ALL PLANS.
THAT I AND NEW PLANS ARE BEING
LITIGATED OVER AND THE FOLKS IN
THE COMMUNITY HAVE IN OUR LITTLE
EITHER THERE'S NO GUIDANCE IN
THE LOS TO WHICH PLAN IT SHOULD
BE.
WORKING OFF BUT OUTSIDE OF LOS
ANGELES THIS LIVE COMMUNITIES
HAVE COMMITTEE PLANS WHEN THAT
HELPED THE STATE WITH THE IF YOU
WERE INCENTIVIZING COMMITTEE
PLANTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE TO
SAY. MEET THIS CRITERIA AND YOU
GET IT.
IN TRUE IT MAY NOT HEALTH. AYE
NORTH HOLLYWOOD BUT IT WOULD
HELP ALL THESE OTHER SMALL
PROJECTS OR
ACTIVITIES TO THREADED IF IF YOU
ARE IN THAT BILL I DON'T CO
AUTHOR AND SUPPORTED AND ONE
PERCENT AYE BECAUSE BECAUSE I
GREW THE A WOULD BE AT THE WOULD
BE A GOOD THING. THERE'S NO
QUESTION I MEAN FOR THE SAME
REASONS WHY I'M DOING THIS BILL
IN THE FIRST WHICH I THINK.
YES IT SOLVES A PROBLEM LOCALLY
BUT I'M ALSO TRYING TO.
SOLVE UP A BROADER STATEWIDE.
YEAH YOU KNOW COULD FRY WOULD BE
AS A BROADER ENVIRONMENTAL
AGENDA STATEWIDE ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS WHILE ALSO ALLOWING US TO.
YOU TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE BIG
CONCERNS THAT CAME UP YESTERDAY
AND YOU VOTED YESTERDAY FOR.
CENTER WINNERS BILL THAT.
BECAUSE CERTAINLY WASN'T VERY
AGGRESSIVE AYE. AYE LOCAL PLAY A
NOTE FOR GOOD REASONS I MEAN I I
SAY THAT WITH WITH WITH LOVING
RESPECT HE DOESN'T US SUCH A
LAWSUIT GOES ON THE LAWSUIT THAT
HURT.
OCCURRED ON THIS PLAN WOULD
NEVER OCCURRED EIGHT TWO SEVEN
PASSED.
SO IT WOULD ALREADY BE UPS
OWNED.
OKAY SO THE MY POINT KNOW IF IF
IF IF WE'RE WILLING TO HAVE THAT
KIND OF TODAY.
AND CONSIDER THOSE KINDS OF
BILLS.
AT THE VERY LEAST WHEN THAT YOU
ACTUALLY HAVE LIKE CONSENSUS AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL WHERE THAT WITH
THE COUNCIL SHARES PERMISSION I
DON'T KNOW IF I.
PLEASE GO HILLS AND BUT I THINK
MY CONCERN IS SIMILAR TO
SENATOR.
STERN SAYS THAT.
WHEN YOU DESCRIBED.
THIS
YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS I MEAN
YOU'RE DOING THIS STATEWIDE AND
YET YOU'RE.
IT'S NOT SPECIFIC ENOUGH
IN MY OPINION TO BRING A
STATEWIDE BENEFIT AND SO. UNLESS
IT HAS MORE SPECIFICITIES IT
DOESN'T BRING A STATEWIDE
BENEFIT SO EITHER IT SHOULD BE
DONE. FOR YOUR SINGLE.
PROBLEM YOU'RE FACING OR IT
NEEDS MORE SPECIFICITY.
TOTALLY COMMITTED TO SPECIFICITY
AND WHO HAS A STATESMAN DEL OR
FORGET IT THIS IS THE QUEUE TO.
DO YOU DO OUT WE HAD YOU KNOW
JUST TO BE REALLY CAN'T IT WAS
THAT.
.
THEY WERE MOVING IN THE
DIRECTION TOWARD THIS FUNDING.
INCENTIVE.
YOU'RE IN A IN A. IN A IN A
EQUALLY IMPORTANT BUT DIFFERENT
DIRECTION ON THE SPECIFICITY
QUESTION.
AYE I AYE AYE AYE I BIKE. YOU
EITHER QUICKLY TO TO WORK WITH
YOU ON SPECIFICITY LANGUAGE AND
I HAVE BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT'S
LIKE IF I. GIVEN THE JUDICIAL
COUNCILS CONCERN AS CHAIR OF
PUBLIC SAFETY FOR EXAMPLE. THEN
IN EFFECT I'M SAYING ALRIGHT.
ANY COMMUNITY UPPER DOWN THE
STATE THE ONCE NEXT BUT I PLAN
WITH THE PLAN HAS ANY REAL VALUE
OR NOT BECAUSE OF THE VAGUENESS
OF WHAT'S IN THERE IS GOING TO.
TRUE JUMP THE QUOTA UP ON IN THE
COURT IN THERE IT'S LIKE OKAY
WHAT HAVE I DONE THIS IS
AFFECTING EVERYWHERE.
AND I'M NOT NECESSARILY TRYING
TO COME UP WITH THE SOLUTION BUT
YOU KNOW IF EFFEXOR ONE CITIES
PROBLEM MAY BE THAT WORKS BUT TO
DO IT STATEWIDE AND AND. JUMP.
IN EVERY COURT EVERYWHERE IN THE
STATE THAT'S THE DIFFICULT TO
WRITE AND THEN I'D I GUESS. I'M
I'M I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MORE
UNEQUIVOCAL I CAN BE IN SAYING
THAT THAT A CRITICAL PART OF THE
GOAL HERE.
IS.
IS INCENTIVIZING MOURN MY MY
SUSTAINABLE COMEDICALLY ENDS UP
AND DOWN THE STATE.
I AND YOU KNOW I WAS IT DOESN'T
FORCE IT UPON THE COMMUNITIES
THEY HAVE THEY CAN DECIDE WHAT
THEY WANT TO DO. BUT IF THEY
WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE
BENEFITS IN THE BILL THEY WILL
NEED TO HAVE A. MADE MAKE
PROGRESS.
OUR ON OUR ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS
AND SO I.
I AS I SAY IF IF IF THIS WERE
DOUBLE REFERRED I WOULD ASK TO
YOU KNOW TO DELAY THE VOTE FOR A
WEEK AT THIS COMMITTEE SO WE
COULD ACTUALLY WORK OUT SOME OF
THIS THIS LANGUAGE.
.
BUT YOU KNOW IT IS DOUBLE FOR.
OKAY SO IT'S NOT FISCAL BILL IF
YOU WERE TO HAVE ANOTHER HEARING
WE COULD PUT OVER LANGUAGE.
SENATOR HOWEVER IF YOU'RE
AMENDMENTS MAKE IT FISCAL THAT
WE IN ESSENCE CHO YOUR BILL.
I'M SORRY YOU HAVE TO GET A RULE
WAIVER.
YEAH THOSE MEANT. ALRIGHT.
RIGHT THAT'S WHAT AND OKAY THAT.
SO. SO I'M I'M EXPLAIN MY INTENT
AND I THINK THAT MY ON
ENVIRONMENTAL. KIND OF
COMMITMENTS A CREDENTIALS.
SHOULD SPEAK TO THAT YOU KNOW.
SO. AYE TOLLEY GOT IT IF YOU'RE
NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT AT THIS
POINT BUT I I.
I MAKE.
THAT FIRM COMMITMENT TO YOU.
I'M AND IN IF AND I GUESS IF SO.
I MEAN I I SUPPOSE IF THIS
COMMITTEE WHERE IF IF IF THIS
WERE A STICKING POINT AND AND WE
COULD WORK OUT A WAY TO NOT.
IT'D.
TO BE ABLE TO MATTER WHEN YOU'RE
NEXT HEARING IS.
WE HAVE NO MORE HEARINGS.
WE'RE DONE.
IN HERE.
NINE THIRTY.
YEAH WE STILL GOT JIM BELL
WAITING BACK THERE. DID MOST OF
THE SECOND OUT OF A LOT OF MY
TIME YESTERDAY.
YEAH.
.
NO TODAY HE HAD A BIG CHARTER
BILL TO ALL.
I'LL LET YOU CLOSE.
OKAY SO I DON'T KNOW THERE'S
MUCH MORE I CAN OUT BUT I'M
I.
I I WOULD APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE
SPECIFICITY ISSUES THAT WE'VE
BEEN REYES I DON'T THINK THAT
THERE.
I AND AND I I DON'T THEIR
UNATTAINABLE WHETHER AND WHETHER
IT BE THE FORBEARANCE OF THE
COMMITTEE.
TO HOLD ANOTHER MEETING NEXT
WEEK JUST FOR THE TO HAVE THE
SPELL BEFORE TO DASH THAT'S ONE
POSSIBILITY OTHER POSSIBILITY
WOULD BE TO.

THERE'S A MOTION BY SENATOR
SKINNER PLEASE
RECEIPT.
YOU.
OUT MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS BART
BROOME REPRESENTING THE SANTA
CLARA VALLEY WATER DISTRICT WE
ARE.
AN AGENCY THAT PUT.
SUPPLIES WATER PROVIDES FLOOD
PROTECTION GROUND WATER
MANAGEMENT AND WATERSHED
STEWARDSHIP FOR THE TWO MILLION
PEOPLE OF SANTA CLARA COUNTY.
WE ARE SPONSORING SP THIRTEEN
NO ONE CAUGHT BECAUSE DELIVERIN
OUR FLOOD PROTECTION AGAINST
SAFETY PROJECTS ARMY IS IN A
TIMELY FASHION IS TAKING LONGER
THAN IT USED TO.
AND ON OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
FULLY SUPPORTS SEQUEL AND FULLY
SUPPORTS MITIGATING THE IMPACTS
OF OUR PROJECTS.
THIS BILL SEEKS A SOLUTION THAT
BOTH.
BOLSTERS PERMITTING AGENCIES
RESOURCES AND AT THE SAME TIME
O. IMPROVES ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
AND PERMITTING PROCESSES THROUGH
TRANSPARENCY AN INTER AGENCY
COLLABORATION HERE WITH ME TODAY
IS KIRTLAND BURGER WITH OUR
AGENCY
A COLLABORATOR.
PLEASE PROCEED.
THANK YOU GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME
IS KURT LEUENBERGER I'M A SENIOR
WATER RESOURCE SPECIALIST WITH
THE SENATE CLARA VALLEY WATER
DISTRICT PART OF THEIR WATERSHED
STEWARDSHIP AND PLANNING
DIVISION.
OUR FLOOD PROTECTION AGAINST
SAFETY PROJECTS REQUIRE THAT WE
WORK 㿫RIVERS
CORRIDORS ALONG FIXES KOBE.
THERE'S UNDERSTANDABLY A LARGE
NUMBER OF STATE AND FEDERAL
ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING
AGENCIES WITH JURISDICTIONS AND
HE'S ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE
LOCATIONS.
GETTING A MAJOR FLOOD RISK
REDUCTION OR DANCE SAFETY
PROJECT THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL
REVIEW AND PERMITTING FRUITFUL
TAKES YEARS.
AND THAT TIME IS ONLY GOTTEN
LONGER AS THE NUMBER OF
PERMANENT LOCATIONS HAVE
INCREASED.
BUT STAFF RESOURCES IN STATE
PERMITTING AGENCIES HAS NOT.
THESE AGENCIES ARE OPERATING A
TRIAGE MODE MEANING THEY ONLY
HAVE TIME TO FULLY ENGAGE A
PERMIT APPLICATIONS BEFORE THEM
AND VERY LITTLE CAPACITY TO
PROVIDE EARLY CONSULTATION. AND
PRODUCT DESIGN ENVIRONMENTAL
REVIEW WHEN IT IS MOST CRITICAL.
UNFORTUNATELY THE LACK OF FULL
ENGAGEMENT EARLY IN THE PROCESS
IS A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTOR
DELAYS AND ENVIRONMENTAL PERMIT
ISSUE.
DURING PERMIT REVIEW STATE
PERMITTING AGENCIES HAVING NOT
FULLY ENGAGED IN THE SECRET
PROCESS MANDATE FIVE ARE MIDDLE
IMPACTS NOT CONTEMPLATED IN THE
APPROVED THE I. R..
AND THEN THE SEEK MITIGATION OF
THESE IMPACTS AS A CONDITION OF
THE PERMIT.
THE RESULT THIS THE LATE STATE
AGENCY ENGAGEMENT IS COSTLY
PROJECT REDESIGNS UNPLANNED
MITIGATION COSTS AND MOST
CONCERNING SIGNIFICANT DELAYS
THE LIFE SAFETY PROJECTS SUCH AS
FLOOD PROTECTION AND DANCE
SAFETY.
THE LEADING GAUGE WHEN ALSO
FOSTERS A LESS TRANSPARENT
NEGOTIATION BETWEEN THE PROJECT
APPLICANT AND THE PERMITTING
AGENCY ABOUT SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS
MEDICATIONS AND CHANGES TO THE
PROJECT OUTSIDE OF THE PUBLICLY
DISCLOSED SECRET PROCESS.
S. B. THIRTY NO ONE WILL REMEDY
THESE ISSUES BY DOING TWO
THINGS.
FIRST IT PROVIDES STATE
ADMINISTRATORS THE LEGISLATURE
LEGISLATURE AND THE PUBLIC WITH
A TRANSPARENT MEASUREMENT OF THE
STATE AGENCY PERFORMANCE TO
DETERMINE WHERE ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES AND PROCESS REFORMS
MAY BE NEEDED.
THE BILL WILL MAKE PUBLICLY
AVAILABLE BASIC PERFORMANCE
METRICS LIKE THE NUMBER OF
PERMIT APPLICATIONS RECEIVED THE
NUMBER DETERMINE BE COMPLETE THE
NUMBER APPROVED OR DENIED. AND
THE NUMBER OF APPLICATION WE
SUBMITTALS REQUIRED.
THIS REPORTING REQUIREMENT IS
LIMITED TO FLOOD RISK REDUCTION
AND DANCE SAFETY PROJECTS
THE FIRST REPORT WOULD BE
REQUIRED IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE
GIVING AGENCIES TIME TO DEVELOP.
A METHOD FOR TRACKING THESE
IMPORTANT DATA POINTS.
SECONDLY SB THIRTY NO ONE
PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK FOR
MULTIPLE STATE AND FEDERAL
AGENCIES TO ENGAGE IN THE DESIGN
THE FLAT AND THEN SIXTY PROJECTS
AND SEEING GATES THROUGHOUT THE
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. AND
PERMITTED PROVE A PROCESS.
THIS BILL PROVIDE A MECHANISM
FOR INTER AGENCY COLLABORATION
TO MAKE FLOODING DANCE SAFETY
PROJECT BETTER AND TO AVOID
COSTLY TIME CONSUMING SURPRISES
DURING THE PERMITTING PROCESS.
IT'S MECHANISM IS MODELED AFTER
SIMILAR FRAMEWORK RECENTLY
DEVELOPED FOR THOSE ARE FAMILIAR
WITH MEASURE A A AND SIX DISCO
DEVELOPED BY SEVERAL FEDERAL AND
STATE REGULATORY AGENCIES TO
REDUCE PERMITTING TIME FOR MULTI
BENEFIT RESTORATION PROJECTS.
AROUND SAN FRANCISCO BAY.
UNDER THE BILL PROJECT
APPLICANTS WITH SIMILAR PRE
APPLICATION TO THE AGENCIES THEY
WOULD NEED IN THE INTERAGENCY
TEAM. CONVENED AT THE
APPLICANT'S EXPENSE.
AND IF MITCHELL AGREED WITH
STATE AGENCIES THE TEAM'S
CRITICAL LOCATED.
FOR PRESCRIBED PERIODS FOSTER
COOPERATION.
FEDERAL AGENCIES WILL ALSO BE
ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE AS
WELL.
THE INTERAGENCY TEAM WOULD
DISCUSS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
AND POTENTIAL MITIGATION PROVIDE
FEEDBACK ON ENVIRONMENTAL
DOCUMENTS IDENTIFY ACTIONS THAT
MAY EXPEDITE THE REQUIRED
PERMITS.
AND RESOLVE ANY CONFLICTS
BETWEEN THE VARIOUS CONDITIONS
PROPOSED FOR PERMIT APPROVAL.
EARLY ENGAGEMENT THROUGH THE
INTERAGENCY TEAM WILL MAKE A
SECRET PROCESS BETTER.
BUT GETTING THE SIGNIFICANT
VIRAL IMPACTS IDENTIFIED BY
STATE AGENCIES ANY PROPOSED
MEDICATIONS INTO THE DRAFT
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS FOR
STAKEHOLDER PUBLIC REVIEW AND
COMMENT.
NOT ONLY WILL THIS IMPROVE
TRANSPARENCY BY REDUCING
POSTSECRET NEGOTIATIONS OVER
PERMIT CONDITIONS.
IT'LL ALSO HELP AVOID LATE FEES
PRICES AND THAT INCREASED COSTS
DELAY FLOODING DANCE SAFETY
PROJECTS.
THIS BILL RESULT COLLABORATION
FOCUSED ON THE TIMELY DELIVERY
OF VITAL FLOOD RISK REDUCTION
AND DANCE SAFETY PROJECTS.
MORE RESOURCES AND BETTER
PERFORMANCE MEASURES FOR STATE
PERMITTING AGENCIES IMPROVE
FRANCE TRANSPARENCY THROUGH
SEQUEL AND A MORE COMPLETE
PERMIT APPLICATIONS.
ALTOGETHER S. B. BERTINO ONE
WILL DELIVER FLETTON DANCE
SAFETY PROJECT PERMITTING FASTER
SMARTER WITH MORE TRANSPARENCY
THROUGH SEQUEL. AND WITHOUT
COMPROMISING ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION.
