LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AGAIN.
SIR HOW ARE YOU YOUR NAME
JUSTICE ARE SMALL BUSINESS
ADVOCATE WITH GOVERNORS OFFICE
OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT MYSTERIES THANKS FOR
JOINING US OKAY WHO WANTS TO
START THOUGH WE'LL START WITH
ISSUE NUMBER ONE CALIFORNIA
COMPETES.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU TEAR OFF AND SENATOR
WELK.
IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE HERE
TODAY AND PERCENTAGE NUMBER ONE
WHICH IS THE ADMINISTRATION'S
PROPOSAL TO EXTEND THE
CALIFORNIA COMPETES TAX CREDIT
PROGRAM. TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE
BIT OF HISTORY ABOUT THE PROGRAM
IS PART OF THE GOVERNOR'S
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE
THE TWENTY THIRTEEN. IN WHICH
THE OLD ENTERPRISE OF PROGRAM
WAS REPLACED WITH THREE NEW
TOOLS FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
THE FIRST OF WHICH BEING A
PARTIAL SELLS INTACT SALES TAX
EXEMPTION FOR MANUFACTURING ARE
THE EQUIPMENT. THE SECOND BEING
A GEOGRAPHICALLY TARGETED HIRING
CREDIT AND THE THIRD OF WHICH
WHICH WHICH WE'VE BEEN
DISCUSSING TODAY. IS THE
CALIFORNIA COMPETES TAX CREDIT
WHICH WAS CREATED TO BE A TOOL
TO INCENTIVIZE BUSINESSES TO
LOCATE OR EXPAND IN CALIFORNIA.
UNDER CURRENT LAW OUR
AUTHORIZATION TO WORK CALIFORNIA
COMPETES TAX CREDITS.
ENDS ON JUNE THIRTIETH OF THIS
YEAR. SO OUR PROPOSAL WOULD DO
THE FOLLOWING. WOULD EXTEND THE
CALIFORNIA COMPETES TAX CREDIT
PROGRAM FOR FIVE FISCAL YEARS
THROUGH FISCAL YEAR TWENTY TWO
TWENTY THREE.
PROVIDE TAX CREDIT ALL
ALLOCATION AUTHORITY OF ONE
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY MILLION PER
YEAR.
PROVIDE ROUGHLY ONE POINT FOUR
MILLION IN BUDGET AUTHORITY EACH
YEAR TO SUPPORT OUR EXISTING TEN
POSITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH
ADMINISTERING THE PROGRAM. AND
ALSO.
MAKE STATUTORY CHANGES TO THAT
WE BELIEVE WILL IMPROVE THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROGRAM.
THANK YOU AND BE HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
OKAY FINANCE ANY COMMENT. YEAH
WE WE SUPPORT THE THE EXTENSION
OF THE CALVIN PEETE ATTACKS
CREDIT. BECAUSE FROM PAST FIVE
FISCAL YEARS. THE PROGRAM HAS
BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN ATTRACTING
NEW IN NYC A NEW BUSINESSES AND.
AND EXPANDING ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
IN CALIFORNIA.
OTHER CHANGES TO THE TO THE
PROGRAM THAT ARE PROPOSED BOTH
ELIMINATING THE THE SMALL
BUSINESS CARVE OUT AND HAVING
LANGUAGE THAT ALLOWS A GOBIES TO
CONSIDER THE LIKELIHOOD. THAT
THE ACT THAT THE ALLOCATED
CREDIT WILL LEAD TO ACTUAL NEW
JOBS BEING CREATED IN CALIFORNIA.
ADDRESS THE CONCERNS RAISED BY
THE LA SHOW AND.
AND WILL MAKE THE CREDIT ANY
MORE EFFECTIVE PROGRAM DURING
THE EXCHANGE.
AND I I WOULD NOTE THAT ALTHOUGH
THE CARVE OUT FOR. FOR SMALL
BUSINESSES.
IS PROPOSED TO BE REMOVED A
SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE
ENGAGING TREATABLE.
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY ARE STILL
GONNA BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE CREDIT
AND ADDITIONALLY.
AS AS PART OF THE.
PART OF THE CURRENT TWO HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLAR ALLOCATION HAS
BEEN SET ASIDE. FOR A PROGRAM TO
PROVIDE OF. A SMALL BUSINESS A
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
AND AGAIN THAT THAT SMALL
BUSINESS OF SET ASIDE SO TO
SPEAK.
WAS PERENNIALLY UNDER
SUBSCRIBERS AND.
UNDER SUBSCRIBED IN TERMS OF
WHAT YOU HAD MORE MONEY. SET
ASIDE YOU HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING
ALL IN AS THE AS FAR AS THE THE
ACCOUNT BUT YES THERE IT WAS.
.
ABOUT TWENTY MINS ABOUT TWENTY
MILLION EACH YEAR THAT WAS NOT.
ABLE TO BE ALLOCATED.
OKAY WILL CERTAINLY THE
STRUCTURE OF THIS PROGRAM IS.
FROM MY PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE OF
A LOT BETTER THAN THE OLD
ENTERPRISE ZONE STRUCTURE IN
TERMS OF.
ACCOMPLISHING WHAT WE ARE TRYING
TO ACCOMPLISH BUT THERE'S
CERTAINLY SOME ISSUES AND I
WOULD LIKE YOU TO COMMENT AGAIN
AFTER THE L. AT ALL YOUR
PRESENTS ILLEGAL YOU HAVE SOME
CONCERNS I SURE AS. WE NOTED IN
OCTOBER ON THAT THE PROGRAM.
CALIFORNIA COMPETES WHILE IT
WAS BEING ADMINISTERED IN GOOD
FAITH BY THE ADMINISTRATION WE
STILL HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT
AWARDS GOING TO BUSINESSES. ON
THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE ON MAKING
THE INVESTMENTS AND ON THE
HIRING THAT DAY.
WOULD'VE DONE OTHERWISE ON BUT
WITH THE TAX CREDIT.
AND SO WE WE RECOMMENDED.
REJECTING THE EXTENSION OF
CALIFORNIA COMPETES BUT WE
UNDERSTAND THAT. THAT THERE'S
MANY MEMBERS A LEGISLATURE
INTERESTED IN CONTINUING THIS
PROGRAM.
IF IF IF THE PROGRAM IS
EXTENDED WE DO THINK THAT THE.
THE ADMINISTRATION'S REQUEST
FOR ADDITIONAL POSITIONS IS
WARRANTED AS WELL AS THE
RECOMMENDATION TO REMOVE.
.
THE SET ASIDE FOR SMALL
BUSINESSES.
IS CONSISTENT WITH
RECOMMENDATIONS IN OUR REPORT.
THE ADMINISTRATION ALSO PROPOSE
SOME LANGUAGE THAT WOULD ADDRESS
SOME OF OUR CONCERNS AND WE
APPRECIATE THAT. IF YOU HAVE ANY
SPECIFIC QUESTIONS HAPPY TO.
RESPOND TO THIS WELL HOW DO WE
HOW CAN WE GET AT THIS I MEAN
NOTHING'S PERFECT CERTAINLY NOT
IN THIS BUILDING. BUT HOW DO WE
HOW DO WE GET AT THE ISSUE
HAVING TO DO WITH.
.
THE ARGUMENT THAT BUSINESSES
WOULD COME HERE OR CERTAINLY
EXPECT MORE MORE LIKELY EXPAND
HERE ANYWAY.
EVEN WITHOUT THE APPLICATION OF
THE CALIFORNIA COMPETES TAX
CREDIT.
WELL THERE'S A LOT OF.
TRADE OFFS AND HOW ON THIS VERY
SUPPORTERS TO ADDRESS IT BUT AS
YOU NOTED IT IS DIFFICULT TO
THERE'S NO WAY TO KNOW IN
ADVANCE WHAT A. WHAT A PERSON OR
A COMPANY'S TRUE INTENTIONS MAY
BE? SO.
THERE YOU KNOW WE DID SUGGEST
MAYBE SOME TIGHTENING UP THE
LANGUAGE OF CLARIFYING THE
INTENT DIRECTION TO THE AND ON
TO THE ADMINISTRATION ON. WHAT
THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS THAT
IT? WE BELIEVE THERE THERE IS A
STATED INTENT IN THE THE
ORIGINAL LEGISLATION TO. THAT
THIS IS A PROGRAM TO ATTRACT AND
RETAIN BUSINESSES HERE AND IT.
BUT THERE'S OTHER GOALS IN THE
EXISTING LEGISLATION THAT ARE
NOT NECESSARILY CONSISTENT THAT
SO YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF
FOCUS ON. WAGES AND SO FORTH OR
GEOGRAPHIC ON.
YOU KNOW.
DIVERSITY.
THAT THEY MAY NOT NECESSARILY
BE. AS FOCUSED AS WE WOULD LIKE
TO SEE ON ATTRACTING BUSINESSES
THAT ARE ARE COMING TO
CALIFORNIA TO SELL TO PEOPLE.
NOT JUST IN CALIFORNIA BUT ALL
OVER THE WORLD. IF THE THE
PRODUCT OR SERVICE IS BEING
PROVIDED TO PEOPLE AND CONSUMERS
AND OTHER BUSINESSES ONLY IN
CALIFORNIA. THEN THEY'RE TAKING
AWAY BUSINESS FROM. THEIR
COMPETITORS WERE ALSO CALIFORNIA
BUSINESSES NEED TO BE IN
CALIFORNIA TO SERVE THAT MARKET.
SO WE'D SUGGESTED PERHAPS
LOOKING AT.
NARROWING THE CREDIT TO
COMPANIES ARE MULTI STATE
COMPANIES YOU KNOW THERE ARE.
WIN WHEN COMPANIES FILE THEIR
TAXES THEY SPECIFY.
THEIR SALES IN CALIFORNIA IN
THEIR SALES OUTSIDE OF
CALIFORNIA. SO THERE'S
INFORMATION THERE THAT COULD BE
ON REVIEWED AND PERHAPS THE
LANGUAGE THAT'S BEEN PROPOSED BY
THE ADMINISTRATION WILL GIVE
GOOD IS THE DISCRETION TO DO SO.
ON MAY BE MAKING THAT
REQUIREMENT LIKE A I SHALL. IS
OPPOSED TO A MAY MIGHT BE ONE
APPROACH.
COOK I KNOW THIS IS LIKE A
BATTLEFIELD THE ARTILLERY SHELLS
ARE GOING OVER YOUR HEAD SO
WE'RE GOING TO INCLUDE YOU
ENSURE THAT RADIATION HERE BUT
LOOK. BUT.
WHAT ABOUT THAT SO CONCENTRATING
MAYBES SETTING SELECTION CAN
FINANCE YOU CAN JUMP INTO
SETTING SELECTION CRITERIA THAT
FOCUS ON?
MULTISTATE COMPANIES OR
COMPANIES THAT ACTUALLY DO
BUSINESS OUT OF STATE AS OPPOSED
TO SIMPLY.
MOVING THE SHELVES AROUND IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THAT'S ONE
QUESTION AND THEN THE OTHER
THERE'S OF STAFF NOTES IN OUR
ANALYSIS THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT
HAVE SEEN THAT TALKS ABOUT.
PERHAPS TAKING A LOOK AT. THOSE
COMPANIES THAT MADE MADE IT
THROUGH THE FIRST TWO.
WHICH IS YOUR COST BENEFIT
ANALYSIS.
GOT TO THE SECOND PHASE WHICH IS
HERE YOU HAVE THAT RATHER A
MORE DETAILED SET OF SELECTION
CRITERIA WERE NOT SELECTED
OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE ELSE GOT THE
TAX CREDIT. TAKING A LOOK AT
THOSE WHO WERE NOT COMPANIES
THAT WERE NOT SELECTED.
TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE X. I
GUESS EXPANDED ANYWAY SURE SO
COULD YOU SORT OF ADDRESS WHAT
THE ELIA WAS SAID AND THEN MAYBE
FINANCE CAN JUMP INTO FINANCE
YOU SO. WITH RSPECT TO LOOKING
AT.
SOLELY BUSINESSES SELLS WHETHER
THEY'RE SOLELY IN STATE OR IN
MULTIPLE STATES I THINK. THAT
WOULD PRECLUDE US FROM INSTANCES
OF WHERE THE ACTUAL JOB PLACE
CLASSIFICATIONS BEING PROPOSED
MAY NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE
IN THE STATES FOR EXAMPLE CALL
CENTER YOU COULD HAVE A.
BUSINESS THAT IS SERVING ONLY
CALIFORNIA BUT THEY'RE. THINKING
ABOUT HAVING A CALL CENTER HERE
OR ELSEWHERE AND SO THAT WOULD
BE AN INSTANCE ONE EXAMPLE OF
WHICH IF YOU JUST LOOKING AT
THEIR CELLS.
THE CALL CNTER JOBS COULD BE
LIVING ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD SO
THAT WOULD BE ONE CAUTIONS WE
WANT WE WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO
HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO DO A
HOLISTIC REVIEW. AND THE
ADMINISTRATION'S LINE WHICH ARE
PROPOSING RELEASE GETS TO THE
HEART OF THE TRADE ABILITY ISSUE
IN MY MIND IS THAT WE'RE LOOKING
AT.
THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE BUSINESS
CREATING THE JOBS HERE OR ANY
OTHER BUSINESS CREATING THE JOBS
HERE O WHAT THAT MEANS IS IF
THIS BUSINESS DOESN'T CREATE THE
JOBS E'RE GONNA BE A. PROCESS
ABLE TO OBSESS AND EVALUATE.
WHETHER OR NOT THE LIKELIHOOD
OF THE JOBS BEING MARKET DRIVEN
AND BEING HERE ANYWAY SO WE WE
RATHER THAN THAT DEBILITY TO
LOOK AT THE ACTUAL PROPOSAL.
FROM THE APPLICANT.
WELL OBVIOUSLY I'M A SUPPORTER
OF THIS I WAS HERE AT THE
CREATION.
AND I'VE SORT OF SEEN THE
PROGRAM OF ALL WHAT ABOUT THAT
THE ATTEMPT OR MAKING AN ATTEMPT
TO TRY TO.
ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF THE
EXPANSION WOULD OCCUR ANYWAY AND
AND THIS IS.
A COMMON RIGHT COMMENT THAT WE
SEE WITH ANY TAX CREDIT WHETHER
ITS AEROSPACE.
FELL.
EVEN TO THE VERY SMALL ONES THE
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND OR THE TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND THAT WE SEE IN
SOME OF OUR COMMUNITIES RIGHT IS
THERE ANY. IS THERE ANY.
.
MAGIC IN TRYING TO TAKE A LOOK
AT THOSE FOLKS WHO MAKE IT TO
THE SECOND ROUND OF ANALYSIS WHO
DO NOT ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN THE
CREDIT.
TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHETHER THOSE
BUSINESSES ACTUALLY EXPAND IN
THE MANNER THAT THEY HAVE
INDICATED THEY. WOULD EXPAND.
BUT HER CREDIT YEAH YEAH
ABSOLUTELY SO. FIRST OF ALL I'D
JUST LIKE TO START THAT WE
CONCUR THAT IN MANY INSTANCES
TAX PRINCESS CONCERNS AROUND.
THE BEHAVIOR HAPPENING WITH
WITHOUT THE TAX CREDIT.
TAX CREDITS ARE IN GENERAL
DESIGNED TO INFLUENCE THE
DESIRED BEHAVIOR THAT'S WHY ARE
WE SPENDING JENNA FUND DOLLARS
FOR THOSE. TYPES OF PROGRAMS.
.
IN MANY INSTANCES TAX CHRIS
COMING AFTER THOUGHT WHERE THEY
DO THE ACTIVITY THEY THEY THEY
GET READY TO FILE THE RETURN AND
THEY GO THROUGH THE AVAILABLE.
INCENTIVES THAT ARE ON THE
BOOKS AND TAKE WHAT THEY.
QUALIFY FOR. THIS PROGRAM IS
DIFFERENT THOUGH IT'S.
IT MANY INSTANCES BUSINESSES
ARE APPLYING IN ADVANCE FOUR TO
FIVE YEARS IN ADVANCE OF THE JOB
CREATION. WE HAVE A VERY
DETAILED APPLICATION OUT WHICH
WE GET TO REVIEW EVALUATE EACH
AND EVERY PROPOSAL AND ASSESS
THE LIKELIHOOD OF YOU KNOW HOW
IS THIS CREDIT GOING TO BE A
INFLUENCING FACTORS SO WE ASKED
A VARIETY OF QUESTIONS TO THE
APPLICANTS. DESCRIBE TO US HOW
THE CREDIT WILL INFLUENCE THIS
EXPANSION WE LOOK AT THE JOB
CLASSIFICATIONS IN MANY
INSTANCES IF THEY HAVE.
CONSIDERATION FOR OUT OF STATE
LOCATIONS THEY SUBMIT TO US
WHAT'S BEEN OFFERED BY OTHER
STATES SO WE DO A VERY
COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW. OF WHAT'S
BEING PROPOSED IN AND TRY TO
MAKE A DETERMINATION OF.
YOU KNOW THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE
BIG IT HAPPENING WITH OR WITHOUT
THE CREDIT AND SUBSTANCE TAT
FAT AND THERE IS NO HUNDRED
PERCENT FULL PROOF METHOD TO.
WITH CERTAINTY KNOW WHETHER OR
NOT THAT THE CREDIT WAS THE
DECIDING FACTOR. BUT CAN YOU FOR
EXAMPLE WE KNOW WHO WE DIDN'T SO
SURE.
AND I ASSUME WE HAVEN'T GONE TO
THIS EXERCISE SO MAYBE IT'S
IMPOSSIBLE TO DO BUT WE MAY JUST
BE MORE SPECIFIC IN THE QUESTION.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO TAKE THAT POOL
OF COMPANIES.
THEY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL.
IN ROUND TWO.
DRILL DOWN TO THOSE COMPANIES.
TO FIND OUT WHETHER THEY
EXPANDED ANYWAY SO MAYBE WE
DON'T WANT THE INFORMATION BUT I
THINK THAT'S PROBABLY I KNOW
THAT'S NOT TRUE. WITH RESPECT TO
THE ADMINISTRATION'S PROBABLY
NOT TRUE WITH RESPECT TO THIS
HOUSE.
A WE DO WANT THE INFORMATION WE
MAY STILL APPROVE TAX CREDITS
BUT IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO
KNOW.
WHETHER THIS IS FALSE NEWS ABOUT
PEOPLE EXPANDING ANYWAY RIGHT
HOW DO WE DO THAT SO YEAH THAT'S
A. GREAT QUESTION AND.
SO WE DO ACTUALLY I MENTIONED
THIS LAST TIME WAS BEFORE THIS
COMMITTEE.
THE UNIVERSITY OF IRVINE AND
THE ONE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS IN
PENNSYLVANIA HAVE.
APPROACH KOBE'S WITH THE IDEA
TO DO A STUDY ALONG THE VERY
BLURRY LINES THAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT LOOKING AT THE FOLKS THAT.
HAVEN'T POINT YOU MADE IT TO
PHASE ONE TO MAKE IT IN PHASE
TWO AND DOING SOME ANALYSIS ON.
BASED ON ANNUAL CENSUS DATA THIS
COMMUNITY SURVEY THAT THE SENSES
BUT SOUTH IS A LITTLE BIT OF A
LAG.
THEY'RE THEY'RE STILL ON GOING.
EVALUATING THEY HAVE THEIR
DESIGN OF HOW THEY WANT TO
MEASURE IT ALL SET UP IF THEY'RE
USING.
SINCE DATA THAT THEY HOPED
EVERY SEPTEMBER OCTOBER GETS
UPDATED SO WE'RE HOPEFULLY
WITHIN THE THE YET REACHED OUT
TO THEM. THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS
AND THEY'D INDICATED THAT.
THEY MAY HAVE SOME PLUMERI
INFORMATION WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR
SO BUT THEY REALLY NEED MORE
COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY DATA FROM
THE CENSUS TO BE ABLE TO. HAVE A
ROBUST ANALYSIS TO THAT VERY
ISSUE THAT YOU'RE SPEAKING I
WILL THAT INCLUDE I MEAN NOBODY
WANTS TO ANSWER THE PHONE THE
GOVERNMENT CALLS BUT. THIS IS
SOMETHING ELSE WHICH IS GOOD SO
MANY MAY PICK UP THE PHONE SO
WHEN THE PHONE CALL IS MADE WITH
A PHONE CALL INCLUDE.
YOU KNOW.
FOR THE FOR THE UNINFORMED THE
PERSON LIKE ME HEY.
NO WE WERE GOING TO EXPAND AND
ADD FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE. DID YOU
ADD FIVE OTHER PEOPLE.
AND WHEN AND IF NOT WHY NOT SURE
HOW TO GET AN ANSWER TO THAT I
THINK THAT WHAT THEY'RE USING IS
THE. THEY HAVE ACCESS TO.
COMPANY TRUSTS TO FEDERAL
COMMUNITY SURVEY DATA AFTER THAT
THAT THE SURVEYS THAT CAN
IDENTIFY THE BUSINESS LEVEL SO
THAT THEY HAVE THE LIST. ISSUES
THAT THEY HAVE THAT WOULD GIVE
THEM ACCESS TO LIST OF ALL THE
BUSINESSES THAT APPLIED THROUGH
IT I AGREEMENT WITH OUR OFFICE
AND THEN THEY'RE ABLE TO. WHAT
THEY'VE INFORMED US IS TO IT
ACCESSED FEDERAL DATA TO SEE?
WHETHER NOT THOSE BUSINESSES YOU
KNOW DID THEY EXPAND HERE TO
EXPAND ELSEWHERE I SEE SO LET ME
KNOW SOMEBODY CAN ACTUALLY TALK
TO THE COMPANY RIGHT I MEAN I
UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT PEOPLE
SUBMIT TO YOU.
OTHER THAN PERHAPS THE NAME AND
ADDRESS AND CONTACT INFORMATION.
CAN INCLUDE PROPRIETARY DATA
RIGHT.
AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA RELEASE
THAT NOW AND WE WOULDN'T WANT
YOU TO AND CERTAINLY THE
COMPANIES DON'T WANT YOU TO.
BUT.
WE COULD GIVE SOMEBODY THE LIST
OF FOLKS WHO APPLIED TO WORK
SUCCESSFUL AND THEN THIS STUDY
GROUP COULD COLUMN AND SAY DID
YOU EXPAND RIGHT DURING THIS
PERIOD OF TIME AND. IF SO BY HOW
MANY AND.
SOMEBODY COULD COMPARE THAT
RESPONSE. TO THE DATA THAT WE
RECEIVE IN AN APPLICATION.
AND I ASSUME IT'S MUCH MORE
SOPHISTICATED THAN THAT IN TERMS
OF THE STUDY IN THE ANALYSIS
COME UP WITH THE RESULT THAT
COULD POSSIBLY INFORM US AS TO
WHETHER THIS PROGRAM IS. AS
SUCCESSFUL AS WE THINK IT IS OR
NOT RIGHT THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S
RIGHT THAT'S THE INTENTION JUST
NOTE THAT.
THESE ECONOMISTS APPROACHES
FROM THESE TWO UNIVERSITIES ARE
GONNA BE WORKING TOGETHER THEY
PURCHASED SEPARATELY AND. JUST
AS OF WITHIN THE LAST FEW DAYS
HAVE APPROACHED US AND SAID HEY
WE WANT TO WORK TOGETHER TO
JOINTLY ANALYZE THIS VERY ISSUE.
AND LIKE MOST PROFESSORS ARE
DOING STUDIES ARE DOING IN THE
DURING THE SUMMER SUMMER MONTHS
WHEN THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT
TEACHING CLASSES SO IT'S NOT A
STUDY TO GO VISIT PROVIDED ANY
FINDING FORRESTER DOING THERE ON
THEIR OWN VIOLET VOLITION AND AT
A MATTER OF. JUST THE SUSPECT
THAT THE PROGRAM IS SO DIFFERENT
THAN OTHER TAX CREDITS THEY WANT
TO CONCLUDE THAT HEY THIS THIS
IS IF YOU GONNA DO IN A SENSE
THIS IS THE WAY YOU DO AND FOR
THESE WHITE REASONS WHY.
MIGHT BE VERY INTERESTED WHEN
THE RESULTS AND.
HOPEFULLY IT COMES IN BEFORE
THIS NEXT SUNSET OCCURS.
TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY OF US ARE
STILL AROUND HERE IT.
WE CAN HOPEFULLY IF IT COMES IN
SOONER RATHER THAN LATER IF
THEIR MID COURSE CORRECTIONS
THAT NEED TO BE MADE I KNOW
YOU'LL BE MAKING THEM AND.
HOPEFULLY WE'LL HEAR ABOUT THEM
I DIDN'T MEAN TO DOMINATE THE
CONVERSATION BEFORE I TURN IT
OVER TO MY COLLEAGUES FINANCE
ANY COMMENT ON ANY OF THIS I'M I
I WOULD JUST CONCUR WITH. MISTER
COOK'S COMMENTS PARTICULARLY.
.
A I MY MY OTHER JOB IF I'D BE
SITES TEST FOR YEARS KEEPING
TRACK OF GENERAL FUND REVENUES.
Q.. MAYBE NOT.
YEAH.
.
AND AND SO I CARE A LOT ABOUT
TAX CREDITS AND I CARE BOUT
THEM YOU KNOW WHETHER THEY'RE
BEING ACTUALLY USE AND I THINK.
OF ALL THE VARIOUS TAX CREDIT
PROGRAMS WE HAVE THIS ONE IS
DESIGNED WELL ALONG WITH FILM
FILLED CREDIT THEIR LIMITATIONS
DESIGNED. TO ACTUALLY DO WHAT
IT'S INTENDED TO DO AND NOT TO.
BE GIVING MONEY TO BUSINESSES
WHO ARE GOING TO BE. INVESTING
OR OR HIRING.
ANYWAY SO I I THINK THIS IS A
VERY WELL DESIGNED PROGRAM I
THINK THAT THE CHANGES WOULD BE
MADE WILL. WILL GIVE KOBE IS THE
ABILITY FLEXIBILITY AND I AND I
WOULD ALSO ADD ON THE.
YOU KNOW ALTHOUGH I LIKE IT YOU
KNOW IT SOUNDS NICE THE IDEA OF.
ONLY ROOM.
GIVING THE CREDIT TO THOSE
BUSINESSES THAT ARE MULTI STATE
I THINK THAT DOES SORT OF TIE
THE HANDS OF KOBE IS.
WHEN THERE IS A LEGITIMATE
CONCERN THAT THIS MAY BE A
CALIFORNIA ONLY COMPANY WHOSE.
OFF FOR SOME REASON LIKE A CALL
CENTER THEIR OPERATIONS COULD
COULD LOCATE ELSEWHERE WELL.
I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT
YOU DO AND TRYING TO BE
INNOVATIVE HERE AND SPECIFICALLY
THANK THE ADMINISTRATION I THINK
THIS IS. A NOBLE EFFORT TO AND
AS I SAID NOTHING IS PERFECT IN
THIS BUILDING AND WE.
BUT WE STRIVE TO MAKE THE M.
PERFECT A MORE PERFECT AND.
I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO AND
LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THE
DISCUSSION COLLEAGUES ANY
QUESTIONS.
SIR WELL. I HAVE A QUESTION JUST
A COMMENT TO YOU MAKE ME NERVOUS
ABOUT THE FILM TAX CREDIT
BECAUSE WE NEED TO EXTEND THAT.
I WILL TELL YOU THAT THAT HAS
BEEN A.
EDIBLE SUCCESS.
FILM AND TELEVISION BACK AND THE
REASON WHY I KNOW THAT IS WE
WHEN WE PASSED IT YOU KNOW IT
WAS A BIG BILL AND THE WAY WAS
INTERVIEWED BY THE FILM
COMMISSION MOVIE RANCHES DID NOT
QUALIFY.
IF FOR ANY POINTS FOR EACH OF
THESE COMPANION OFFER THAT FOR
THE COMPETITIVE TAX CREDIT. AND
I GOT TWELVE MOVIE RANCHES IN MY
DISTRICT AND WHAT IT WAS HURTING
BUSINESS WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT
ADMINISTRATIVELY BECAUSE THEY
REALIZE THAT YOU KNOW THEY MADE
A MISTAKE THERE. AND IT IS BUT
IT'S BOOM AND AGAIN AT THE IT'S
ABOUT YOU KNOW.
ENCOURAGING PEOPLE TO DO THE
RIGHT THING AND SAME THING WITH
THAT THEY ARE SPACED TAX CREDIT
THE NEXT LONG RANGE BOMBERS
BEING BUILT MY DISTRICT.
NORTHROP EXECUTIVES TOLD ME THEY
PROBABLY WOULD HAVE GONE TO
GEORGIA IF WE HADN'T GOTTEN THAT
AS CAN BE SIXTY FIVE HUNDRED.
JOBS. MATTER WHAT HUNDRED
THOUSAND A YEAR YOU KNOW AVERAGE
SALARY SO.
WHEN WHEN PROPERLY DONE THEY
THEY DO THE JOB I I CERTAINLY
AGREE AND I THINK WE'RE DOING A
MUCH BETTER JOB NOW REQUIRING
APPROVE UP.
AS PART OF THE CREDIT PROCESS IN
OTHER WORDS YOU TELLS YOU GONNA
DO THREE THOUSAND JOBS WE WANT
YOU TO SHOW US THAT YOU'RE GOING
TO DO THREE THOUSAND JOBS OR
THERE'S ACCOUNTABILITY THERE.
AND YOU ALL HAVE DONE A VERY
VERY GOOD JOB OF DESIGNING
PROGRAMS WERE THERE IS APPROVE
UP AND WE'RE NOT JUST GIVING
THINGS AWAY AND. CERTAINLY TRUE
IN FILM IN AEROSPACE.
SURVEYS ARE ANY QUESTIONS SIR.

A SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED
MANUFACTURERS BASED HERE IN
CALIFORNIA.
WE ABSOLUTELY ENTHUSIASTICALLY
SUPPORT THE EXPANSION OF THE
PROGRAM A TWO FOLD ONE.
AS YOU HAD MENTIONED CALLOUSLY
SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED
MANUFACTURERS DON'T HAVE ACCESS
TO MANY RESOURCES THIS IS AN
ESSENTIAL TOOL IN KOBE'S HAS
DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF
PROVIDING US. WITH OUTREACH
MATERIALS AS SUCH SO I WOULD
REALLY PUT IT BACK ON
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE OURSELVES TO

POSITIVE IMPACT FOR THE STATE
FOR FOR BUSINESSES THANK YOU
THANK YOU SIR.
YES SIR. LIKE THREE TIMES CHAIR
MEMBERS MY NAME IS LAUREN MARCO
I'M WITH ELLIE EDC.
WERE PUBLIC BENEFIT NONPROFIT
OUT OF LA AND WE DO A LOT OF
WORK WITH BUSINESSES TRYING TO
HELP THEM STAY IN LA HIGHER. AND
WE ALSO WORK ON SOME OF THESE
BIG BUSINESS ATTRACTION PROJECTS
THAT BRING A LOT OF JOBS TO THE
STATE I THINK WE JUST HEARD
ABOUT ONE OF THOSE.
YOU KNOW I THINK IT IT'S EASY
TO. LOOK AT THE ANALYTICS HONEST
LOOK AT THE FINANCE SIDE OF THIS
BUT I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT
AND TALK ABOUT WHAT'S SUCCESS
LOOKS LIKE AND.
THERE'S A GENTLEMAN HERE.
ALLIES SANCHEZ WHO.
WORKS THE COMPOSITES VERIZON'S
IS TO AN AEROSPACE COMPANY IN IN
THE LA COUNTY AREA.
YOU KNOW HE'S A HE'S A YOUNG
GUY HE'S FROM A DISADVANTAGED
EVERYBODY'S JUST TRYING TO RAISE
HIS FAMILY AND.
BECAUSE COMPOSITE RISINGS.
IS REMAINED IN IN LA AND.
LARGELY BECAUSE OF THE
CALIFORNIA THESE TAX CREDITS.
HE'S ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR HIS
FAMILY AND.
AND A WELL PAYING JOB. IN AN
INDUSTRY THAT SELLS GOODS
OUTSIDE OF THE STATE.
.
AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER THAT SUCCESS IS REALLY
MEASURED BY THESE ORDINARY
PEOPLE AND.
YOU KNOW.
GOBIZ ACCOUNTING IS YOU KNOW
NINETY THOUSAND JOBS CREATED BUT
I'LL TELL YOU THE IMPACT IS MUCH
GREATER THAN THAT BECAUSE. IT'S
NOT JUST THE JOBS CREATED IT'S
THESE EMPLOYERS STAYING HERE AND
THEN SPAWNING ADDITIONAL
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY ADDITIONAL
BUSINESSES.
FOLKS LIKE ALLIES ARE GAINING
SKILLS THAT ARE GONNA ALLOW HIM
TO SOMEDAY BE AN ENTREPRENEUR
EVENTUALLY SO.
SUCCESS IS IN THE THE TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF JUST ORDINARY FOLKS
HERE IN CALIFORNIA THAT.
HAVE THESE WELL PAYING JOBS.
WE LOVE THIS TAX CREDIT BECAUSE
IT'S FLEXIBLE.
THE PAPERWORK NOT TOO ONEROUS.
.
EVERY OPPORTUNITY IS VETTED
CAREFULLY AND ARE THESE
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS AS

THIS PROGRAM.
AS YOU KNOW THIS THIS PROGRAM
INCENTIVIZE IS BUSINESSES WERE
LOOKING TO LOCATE OR GROW OR
EVEN RETAIN THEIR BUSINESS
OPERATIONS IN CALIFORNIA. AND IN
THE CITY OF FRESNO IT'S THE MAIN
TOOL THAT WE HAVE IN OUR TOOLBOX
WHEN WE'RE LOOKING TO COMPETE
WITH OTHER STATES WERE
OFTENTIMES MUCH CHEAPER.
IN THE CITY OF FRESNO WE'VE
SEEN AROUND THIRTY TO THIRTY
FIVE BUSINESSES I THINK IT'S
THIRTY FIVE BUSINESSES WHO.
HAVE BEEN GRANTED BENEFITS
THROUGH THIS PROGRAM AND IT'S
RESULTED IN THE CREATION OF
AROUND A LITTLE OVER EIGHTEEN
HUNDRED JOBS. AND WITH AN
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE THAT
CONSISTENTLY HOVERS AT ABOUT
DOUBLE THE STATE AVERAGE WITHIN
FRESNO COUNTY.
THIS IS VITAL FOR OUR AREA AS
WE'RE LOOKING TO CREATE JOBS FOR
OUR. OUR RESIDENCE SO THAT THEY
CAN STAY OFF OF PUBLIC
ASSISTANCE AND SO AGAIN WE JUST
WANT TO EXPRESS OUR SUPPORT OUR
STRONG SUPPORT FOR THIS PROGRAM
AND HOPE THAT YOU WILL TOO.
THANK YOU THANK YOU MA'AM.

THE EXTENSION OF HOW COMPETES
TAX CREDIT. DUE TO THE
DEMONSTRATED JOB CREATION AND
ECONOMIC EXPANSION THAT WE'VE
HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT TODAY THANK
YOU THANK YOU YES SIR.
TIMOTHY CALAIS PRESENCE HERE
THAN PRO ABOUT ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. COUNTY
IS THE ONLY COUNTY IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA BORDERS ANOTHER
COUNTRY AND ANOTHER STATE
ARIZONA AND MEXICO. WE HAVE TO
BE VERY COMPETITIVE WITH THEM WE
WANT SOME SOME OPPORTUNITIES
WE'VE LOST SOME OPPORTUNITIES I
WANNA TALK ABOUT A COUPLE IN
PARTICULAR. A ONE WORLD BEEF
WHICH IS ABOUT A SEVENTY MILLION
DOLLAR INVESTMENT IN OUR. IN OUR
COUNTY HAD A DECISION TO MAKE
BETWEEN ARIZONA AND MEXICO MANY
TOOLS WERE USED TO ATTRACT THAT
COMPANY. AND CAL COMPETES WAS
ONE OF THE ONE OF THE MAJOR
TOOLS THAT WE USE TO. BE ABLE TO
HELP THEM OPEN UP IN OUR COUNTY
I WANT TO ADD TO THAT IS THAT
THE BENEFITS. ARE TO ONE REAL
BEEF WAS GREAT SIX MILLION
DOLLARS BUT ITS ANCILLARY
BUSINESSES IT REALLY BENEFITED.
IT WAS THE BEEF PRODUCERS
AFFORDS GROWERS THE TRUCKERS THE
VETERINARIANS AND NO OPERATORS
ETCETERA. THAT BY ENHANCING THAT
THAT THAT INDUSTRY. IT LED TO
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT
THE IMPERIAL COUNTY AND I WOULD
LIKE TO PRESENT YOU AS WHAT THE
CAL COMPETES TASTE LIKE. SO I'D
LIKE TO HAVE.
THAT'S JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF A
COMPANY THAT HAS BEEN VERY
SUCCESSFUL HAS THAT BEEN
EXPANDING. I WANT TO MENTION ONE
OTHER COMPANY THAT REALLY GOES
TO WHAT THE COMPETITIVE WITH
OTHER STATES. AND THAT'S S JETS
IN WHICH IS THE LARGEST A
WALLBOARD MANUFACTURING THE
WORLD. I WAS BEING.
ENTICED BY NEVADA TO COME TO
THEIR STATE FOR NEW OPERATION
WHICH WAS TO CREATE. LONGER
WALLBOARD FOR.
FOR ELEVATORS AND WE WORKED
VERY DILIGENTLY WITH ERNST AND
YOUNG TO DO O DECIDE. WHETHER
THEY CAN BE COMPETITIVE IN
CALIFORNIA OR OPERATE IN ANOTHER
STATE AND CAL COMPETES WITH. A
TOTAL OF TWENTY MILLION. I'M
SORRY TWENTY MILLION DOLLAR
INVESTMENT CREED THIRTY FIVE
JOBS. AND DOWN IN HIS OPERATION
TODAY AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR A
SECOND EXPANSION SO THOSE ARE
SOME EXAMPLES OF HOW WE
ATTRACTED A COMPANY WE RETAIN
THE COMPANY. HAD AN AREA THAT
REALLY DOES NEED THE JOBS AND
WE'RE REALLY GLAD TO SAY THAT
DURING THE RECESSION OUR
UNEMPLOYMENT WAS AS HIGHAS.
THIRTY FIVE PERCENT HIGHEST IN
THE COUNTRY IS NOW FIFTEEN
PERCENT AND IT'S THROUGH THESE
TYPES OF OPERATIONS WITH THESE
COMPANIES EXPANDED. THE ANSWER
IS.
ONE I'LL GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF.
AND THAT IS STOCKS ORGANICS IS A
FAILURE TWICE. IN APPLYING FOR
THIS TAX CREDIT IT'S A PERFECT
TYPE OF COMPANIES WHO ARE
COMPETING WITH ARIZONA.
THE THE.
KALKA PITS TAX CREDIT WAS ONE
OF THINGS ALLOW THEM DECIDE. TO
NOT ONLY STAY IN CALIFORNIA BUT
ALSO TO EXPAND THIS YEAR RATHER
THAN LAST YEAR. THEY'VE BEEN A
SUCCESSFUL COMPANY THE READY TO
TO EXPAND AGAIN AND THEY WERE A
FAILURE TWICE. BECAUSE OF THE
WAY THAT THEY THEY STRUCTURE
THEIR BUSINESS A TAKING SIX AND
PART TIME EMPLOYEES AT SIX
MONTHS TO NINE MONTHS. BECAUSE
OF THEIR EXPANSION. AD THAT DOES
NOT QUALIFY FOR FOR. THE CAL
COMPETE SO THESE ARE THE TYPES
OF EXAMPLES WHERE THERE DOESN'T
SEEM TO BE SOME WORK DONE TO
IMPROVE. IT HAS BEEN A VERY
SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM WE WANT TO
SEE IT CONTINUE AND BENEFIT OUR
COMMUNITY ALSO WANT TO SAY. THAT
TO THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF THE
GODDESS HAS BEEN VERY VERY
HELPFUL IN ASSISTING US AND
PROVIDING THE RESOURCES THAT WE
NEED TO ASSIST THE BUSINESSES IN
OUR COMMUNITY THANK YOU VERY

ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
AND IT'S ANY CONCERNS.
HELLO.
WE JUST ASK OF YOU KNOW I'VE.
HAD SOME OTHER ISSUES NOT ISSUES
BUT. HAVE OCCASION TO BE WORKING
WITH THE VIDEO AND WEBSITES AND
LICENSEES AND.
SOME OTHER THINGS AND.
IT OCCURRED TO ME IN WORKING
THROUGH THIS PROCESS THAT I'M
GLAD WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT
WHICH IS WHY I'M GOING TO JUST
RAISE THESE ISSUES BY THE WAY.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION. IS TO
PROVE HIS BUDGETED I'M GOING TO
ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO DO JUST
THAT IN THE SECOND BUT I WANT TO
MAKE SURE THESE ISSUES ARE
IDENTIFIED FOR YOU. I THINK AS
YOU ACQUIRE THESE RESOURCES AND
YOU WORK ON BACK ROADS AND
BACKLOGS AND IT. THERE'S SOME
THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE ON YOUR
WEBSITE.
.
IT'S IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE
PARTICULARLY USER FRIENDLY AND
SOME OF THE LINKS DON'T SEEM TO
WORK.
FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU'RE A CONSUMER.
AND YOU'RE DIGGING DOWN YOU
ALMOST HAVE TO KNOW WHAT SORT OF
LICENSEE YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. IN
ORDER TO GET TO WHERE YOU WANT
TO GO. AND THAT. FOR A CONSUMER
THAT MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT WAY TO
HAVE THE WEBSITE WORK BECAUSE.
CONSUMERS MAY NOT KNOW. WHAT
SORT OF LICENSEE THEY'RE LOOKING
FOR THEY JUST KNOW THAT THERE'S
A PARTICULAR PROBLEM AND THEY
WANT TO?
FIND OUT ABOUT IT SO YOU MAY
WANNA.
YOU MAY WANT TO LOOK AT THAT.
SECONDLY IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AND YOU PULL
SOMETHING UP YOU GET A NUMBER.
AND THERE'S PROBABLY A BETTER
WAY TO STRUCTURE IN THAT AS WELL
WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT YOUR.
AT YOUR WEBSITE.
AND LASTLY HAVING TO FOCUSING
NOW ON ENFORCEMENT ORDERS AND
WHAT'S PUBLIC AND WHAT'S NOT AS
YOU MAY KNOW WE'RE HAVING A
LITTLE. CONVERSATION INSIDE THIS
BUILDING.
KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A.
AN ACTION IN ORDER AND MINISTRY
OF HEARING DECISION.
THAT SORT OF THING GETS A LITTLE
COMPLICATED AND SO AS YOU ARE.
USING THESE RESOURCES TO
ELIMINATE BACKLOGS MAYBE YOU
COULD TAKE A LOOK AT THE WAY THE.
WHOLE SYSTEM WORKS AND. TRY TO
MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE USER
FRIENDLY. AND FINALLY.
I'D ASK YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT.
YOUR PROCESS FOR.
.
MAKING SURE THAT THE PUBLIC
RECORD IS CLEAR WHEN THERE'S AN
ORDER.
ISSUE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THIS
AFFECTS CONSUMERS AND THE PERSON.
WHO IS THE RECIPIENT OF THE
ORDER WHEN THE ORDER HAS BEEN
OVERTURNED ON APPEAL? LET'S MAKE
SURE THAT THERE'S A FLAG ON THAT
SO SOMEONE KNOWS IMMEDIATELY
THAT. THAT THE ORDER HAS BEEN
REVERSED THOSE COMMENTS MAKE
SENSE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO.
MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT YOUR
SYSTEM THAT I.
REALLY AM EVEN THOUGH I MAY
SOUND LIKE I KNOW SOMETHING I
REALLY DON'T BUT I THINK THESE
ARE ISSUES IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT
THEM THAT WOULD BE FINE.
ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS
PARTICULAR ITEM.
ANY COLLEAGUES IN COURT BECAUSE
ANY QUESTIONS.
THIS IS A STEP RECORDS TO

LITTLE MORE THAN IT'S BEEN MOVED

THE FLOOR IS YOURS THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR.
SO WHAT I WAS HEARING THE
BANKING COMMITTEE WHEN THIS BILL
BY SEN SELLING NUMBERS DOWN CAME
THROUGH AND. I WAS INSIDE THERE
WERE SOME ISSUES WITH IT AT BUT
BECAUSE OF THE.
IMPLEMENTATION DATE THERE WAS
AGREEMENT THAT WE SHOULD.
MOVE FORWARD UNDERSTANDING THAT
CLEANUP. MIGHT BE NECESSARY.
AND THAT.
BUT PUTTING INTO EFFECT IN
PREPARING FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF WHAT YOU HAVE BROUGHT TO US
TODAY. THIS THIS COULD WORK OF
OVERSIGHT. WAS.
PRUDENT TO DO AND I SUPPORTED
THAT.
.
SUBSEQUENT TO THAT WE BECAME
AWARE OF SOME.
SOMEBODY'S UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES OF THE BILL. AND
ONE OF THEM WHICH I DOUBT WITH
THAT GUARANTEE AGENCIES THAT HAD
AGREEMENTS FOR THE UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
AND THAT WE WERE ABLE TO CLEAN
THAT UP LAST YEAR AND SO THE
BILL IS STILL IN EFFECT AND YOU
ARE BUILDING THIS OFFICE WHICH I
SUPPORT.
AND TO DO IT'S GOOD WORK.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS US AN
EFFORT BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR
TWO PROVIDED IMPORTANT ELEMENT
OF CLEANUP AND LEGISLATION THAT
SHE HAS OVER THE ASSEMBLY.
AND I SAID I SIMPLY WANT TO
ENCOURAGE YOU IN YOUR OFFICE TO.
.
TO CONSIDER THAT BILL AND
HOPEFULLY BE SUPPORTIVE OF OF
CERTAINLY NOT TRYING TO GET ON
THE BACKS OF THE.
OOPS THAT ARE REALLY WORKING
VERY CONSTRUCTIVELY. TO ENSURE
THAT.
OUR STUDENT LOAN SERVICING
PROGRAMS ARE DONE RIGHT. AND
THAT THAT WOULD BE THE REASON I
RAISE THAT I DON'T HAVE A
PROBLEM HERE POSITIONS THAT
YOU'RE ASKING FOR IT UP ON YOUR
OFFICE.
BUT I WOULD ASK THAT AS WE DO WE
WE WE WE SEE AN ADVERT IN.

PRIORITIES THAT WE. DO OUR WORK

BURKE BUILT US THAT NIGHT.
CREATURE CONSIDERATION OF.
I CAN'T.
THANK YOU SURVEYS FOR.

SURVEYS A MOOSE PLEASE CALL THE
ROLL.

THERE WILL I. THINK LIKE YOU ALL
VERY MUCH EVERY DAY.
NEXT ITEM NINE TWO ONE ZERO
LOCAL GOVERNMENT. FINANCING TO
ISSUES ISSUE ONE COUNTY
ASSESSORS GRANT PROGRAM AN ISSUE
TO PROPERTY TAX BACK FILL.
.
TEAM CHANGE OUT.
I GUESS WHO'S PRESENTING FOUNDER.
OPPOSITE FIND I. SHOW WITH THIS.
OKAY EURON SIR DEREK SIMONS
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE GOOD
AFTERNOON AND THANK YOU FOR
JOINING. THE ADMINISTRATION
PROPOSES A FIVE MILLION DOLLAR
PREPARATION TEACHER FOR THREE
YEARS TO CREATE A STATE SUCH A
STATE SUPPLEMENTATION FOR COUNTY
SUCCESSORS PILOT PROGRAM. WHICH
WE.
ADMISSION OF COURSE BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. THIS
PILOT PROGRAM PROVIDES FUNDING
FOR COUNTY ASSESSORS TO PAY
SALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR NEW OR
ADDITIONAL STAFF.
FOR FOR IT SYSTEMS TO ASSIST
ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES.
NO SINGLE CATEGORY SEE MORE
THAN FIFTY PERCENT OF THE ANNUAL
APPROPRIATION. AND THE GRANT
PROGRAM REQUIRES A COUNTY MATCH
ONE DOLLAR FOR EVERY TWO DOLLARS
IN GRANT FUNDS RECEIVED. OF.
THIS FUNDING WILL ALLOW THE
COUNTY ASSESSOR'S TO HIRE NEW
ASSESSMENT STAFF AND IMPROVE
THEIR IT SYSTEMS THIS WILL ALLOW
SISTERS TO MORE ACCURATELY VALUE
EXISTING PROPERTY AND
EXPEDITIOUSLY. AND ROLL NEW
PROPERTY AND THEREFORE INCREASE
COUNTY WIDE ASSESSED VALUES.
AND THE HGHER THE HIGHER SELF
VALUES MEAN HIGHER PROPERTY TAX
REVENUE FOR THE K. THROUGH
FOURTEEN SCHOOLS WHICH SHOW OFF
DEBTS OFFSETS THE STATE'S
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
TERRIFIED OBLIGATIONS.
SO I'D BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE AT THIS
TIME RODEO IN THE COMMONS. YES
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR BRAND YOU
ARE WITH THE LA SO.
OUR OUR OUR THOUGHTS ARE LAID
OUT PRETTY WELL IN YOUR AGENDA.
IN BRIEF WE THINK THAT THERE
ARE GOOD REASONS FOR THE STATE
TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO.
COUNTY ASSESSORS A BUT WE DO
RECOMMEND A COUPLE OF CHANGES TO
THE PROPOSAL SET FORTH BY THE
ADMINISTRATION FIRST WE SUGGEST
NARROWING. OF THE ALLOWABLE USE
OF THE FUNDS TO JUST PAYING FOR
IT. I. T. UPGRADES.
AND SECOND WE SUGGEST CHANGING
THE THE COUNTY MATCH STRUCTURE
SO THAT THE STATE WOULD BE
PAYING ESSENTIALLY THE. THESE
DAYS A SHARE OF THE COST FOR
THESE IT PROJECTS THAT IS
PROPORTIONATE TO THE AMOUNT OF
PROPERTY TAX OR SEE BY SCHOOLS
IN THAT COUNTY. AND I'D BE HAPPY
TO TO GO INTO MORE DETAIL ON
EITHER OF THOSE ISSUES IF THE
COMMITTEE IS INTERESTED. WHITE
I. T. UPGRADES ONLY.
I YEAH I THINK WE WE FEEL THAT
THERE'S A FEW BENEFITS TO
FOCUSING ON THIS ONE IS THAT.
IT WILL ALLOW THE KIND OF
LIMITED POT OF FUNDING TO BE
SPREAD ACROSS MORE COUNTIES.
BY NARROWING IN FOCUSING ON
JUST ONE PURPOSE OF THAT CAN GO
FOR MORE PROJECTS AND WE ALSO
FEEL THAT THERE'S A POTENTIAL
FOR TO HAVE MORE OF A. OF A
LASTING IMPACT.
BECAUSE WHERE IS HIRING THREE
YEAR.
TEMPORARY STAFF WITH THIS
FUNDING THAT WOULD PRESUMABLY GO
AWAY WHEN THE FUNDING GOES AWAY.
IF IF.
ASSESSOR'S OFFICES ARE ABLE TO
PUT IN PLACE SOME A SIGNIFICANT
TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES WITH THE
FUNDING THOSE CAN HAVE LASTING
IMPACTS THAT WOULD GO BEYOND THE
THREE YEAR PERIOD OF THE THE
PILOT PROGRAM.
MAYBE I DON'T TOTALLY UNDERSTAND
IT MIGHT IT NOT BE.
NECESSARY TO HAVE. SOME
ADDITIONAL STAFF FOR A LIMITED
PERIOD OF TIME COUPLED WITH IT.
MONEY TO SORT OF GET THE SYSTEM
UP AND RUNNING AND FULLY
OPERATIONAL.
MY MISUNDERSTANDING.
NO I THINK THAT THAT COULD BE A
POTENTIAL.
APPROACH TO EVEN A PROGRAM THAT
WAS THAT WAS LIMITED TO A
BRINGING IT PROJECTS ONLINE SOME
OF THE ALLOWABLE USES COULD BE
STAFF RELATED TO THAT I THINK
THE DISTINCTION IS. BETWEEN.
KIND OF.
FRONTLINE ASSESS OUR STAFF THAT
ARE DOING THE APPRAISALS AND THE
KIND OF DAY TODAY ASSESSOR WORK.
VERSUS STAFF THAT WOULD BE
NEEDED FOR A PARTICULAR.
IT PROJECTS TO BRING THOSE
ONLINE IS THE PROPOSAL FOR
SCRIPT PURSE.
PRESCRIPTIVE IN THAT REGARD DOES
IT REQUIRE.
THE STAFF TO BE DEDICATED TO
ONE PURPOSE OR THE OTHER.
IN OTHER WORDS.
BY MAKING SENSE.
YEAH. I DON'T THINK IT'S
PRESCRIPTIVE IN THAT MAYBE
THAT'S A QUESTION FOR THE
ADMINISTRATION.
CRYSTAL DEPARTMENT FINANCE NO.
IT'S IT'S I'M NOT PRESCRIPTIVE
AT ALL THEY WANT TO HIRE.
IF THEY WANT TO HAVE AN IT
CENTRIC PROPOSAL SO TO SPEAK
THEY CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT AND.
THEY SAY WE GOT A HOT BOMB HAVE
HIGHER THREE STAFF ALONG WITH
THAT TO IMPLEMENT THESE IT
UPGRADES AND THEN THEY COULD DO
THAT.
MAYBE IT'S IN HERE HOW MANY
COUNTIES PARTICIPATE.
WHAT'S THAT SOME THERE'S A
SEVEN FROM. FIVE MILLION DOLLAR
APPROPRIATION THE COUNTY CAN'T
GET MORE THAN SEVEN HUNDRED
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS SO.
.
FIVE MILLION DIVIDED BY SEVEN
HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
THAT'S THE MAXIMUM BUT YOU COULD
HAVE.
SAVING IT UP.
COUNTIES ASK FOR LESS THAN
SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS SO EVERYBODY I BELIEVE
THE COUNT FIFTY EIGHT RIGHT SO I
MEAN TO ALL OF THEM GET MONEY OR
OF YOU KNOW IT'S A COMPETITIVE.
COMPETITIVE PROCESS WILL SUBMIT
THEIR APPLICATIONS AND WILL
WEIGH THEM ON THE MERITS I SEE
IN THIS IS THAT THIS IS THE
FIRST RUN SO WE DON'T KNOW THIS
ISN'T THE FIRST TIME WE'VE DEALT
WITH MONEY AND KELLY SAYS USED
TO TRY TO BOOST PROPERTY TAX
REVENUES. IT'S NOT NO.
THERE'S JUST A NEW APPROACH
YEAH SEND YOU. A. BOTTLE OF
DOMINATE QUESTIONS COULD COLLECT
THE QUESTIONS. LEISURE CENTRE
WOKE.
A PUBLIC COMMENT COME ON DOWN.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
OF ROB GROWS CLOSER WITH THE
CALIFORNIA SISTERS ASSOCIATION
IN SUPPORT OF THE MEASURE I
THINK IF YOUR CONSIDERATION
TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO START OFF
BY THANKING THE MINISTRATION OF
FINANCE AND ELIO FOR THEIR OCUS
ON THE PROGRAM. THIS IS A SORT
OF A NEW ITERATION TO OUR LAST
PILOT AND WE THINK THAT CHANGES
IMPROVE IT BOTH FROM THE
REPORTING PERSPECTIVE TO HELP
VALIDATE THE RETURN ON
INVESTMENT WHICH IS VERY GOOD.
BUT ALSO FOR INCREASING THE
POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL
COUNTIES TO PARTICIPATE THE
PROPORTIONATE SHARE. OF SORT OF
THE MATCHING FUNDS SCENARIO IN
SOME COUNTIES THAT RECEIVE VERY
LITTLE THE PROPERTY TAX BENEFIT
HAVE LESS OF AN INCENTIVE TO
PARTICIPATE THIS I BELIEVE IS A
BETTER PROGRAM THE LAST ONE
ENCOURAGING MORE COUNTIES TO
PARTICIPATE. AS SUCH WE BELIEVE
THAT THEY'LL BE AN UPTAKE FROM
OPTIC FOR THE LAST PROGRAM AND
SO WE WOULD ASK THAT THERE BE A
CONSIDERATION FOR ADDITIONAL
FUNDS. FOR THE PROGRAM I
UNDERSTAND THINGS ARE TIGHT BUT
WE DO BELIEVE THAT FOR EVERY
DOLLAR PUT AND YOU'RE SEEING
RETURN ON INVESTMENT ACCESS TO
TWENTY DOLLARS SO IT MAKES SENSE.
IN ADDITION LIKE TO POINT OUT
THAT WE BELIEVE IS GOOD BOTH
FROM THE TAX PERSPECTIVE AS WELL
AS THAT OF THAT THE STATE'S
PERSPECTIVE FOR INCREASING TAXES
BUT ALSO FROM THE TAXPAYERS
PERSPECTIVE. AN EXAMPLE THAT I
HAVE THAT ALSO INTEGRATE TO THE
I. T. QUESTION WHICH I'LL GET TO
IN A SECOND IS THAT FOR EXAMPLE
IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY WE HAD A
LOT OF FARMERS IN THAT COMMUNITY
WAITING FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL
ASSESSMENTS ON THEIR FRUIT NOT
ENTRIES AND ONE NOT.
THAT'S LOOMING OVER THEIR HEADS
AND KNOWING A BIG TAX. BILLS
COMING THEY KNOW ITS.
THEY JUST DON'T KNOW THE NUMBER
AND SO FOR EXAMPLE FRESNO COUNTY
HIRED SENIOR PRAISES TO GO OUT
AND COMPLETE THAT WORK TO MAKE
SURE THE TAXPAYER GETS THE JOB
THERE THERE BUT THE BELL PROBE
REALLY. BUT THEN ALSO THE
REVENUE INTO THE COUNTY INTO THE
ST ALTERNATELY TO NINETY
BACKFILL ON AND THAT'S AN
EXAMPLE WHERE IT ALTHOUGH THERE
ARE A LOT LASTING BENEFITS WERE
SOMETIMES IN CERTAIN COUNTIES IT
IS NOT THE NEED THE NEED IS FOR
SENIOR PRAZERES. AND SO THOSE
COUNTRIES IN THAT REGARD SO THE
FLEXIBILITY IS IMPORTANT OUT FOR
THE SISTERS AND MY COURAGE THE
PROGRAM BEFORE.
THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION IS TO
APPROVE HIS BUDGET IS I GUESS
THE BEAUTY OF THIS DEALING WITH
DOLLARS. WERE. WHOLE BUNCH OF
PEOPLE WHO WERE ABLE TO DO
PRETTY GOOD JOB OF KEEPING TRACK
OF THAT SO WE OUGHT TO BE ABLE
TO MEASURE IMPROVEMENTS.
WITH THIS PILOT PROGRAM HAVING
BEEN FIELDED AND SO WITH
IMPROVEMENTS SO AROUND HERE
TYPICALLY COMES IN PARTICULAR
WHEN IT. INVOLVES INCREASE IN
REVENUE.
TYPICALLY COMES A PUSH FOR MORE
MONEY SO.
WE DO WE DO GOOD. THEN THAT
MAYBE MORE WILL COME SO.
.
ANYTHING ELSE STAFF
RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE HIS
BUDGET IS OUR MOTION NO MOVE TO
MOVE PLEASE CALL THE ROLL THANK
YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
SERA SERA GLAZER CENTER WILL.
ISSUE NUMBER TWO IS PROPERTY TAX
BACK FILL THIS RECOMMENDATION BY
THE STAFF ON THIS ONE IS TO HOLD
OPEN BUT WHO WANTS TO PRESENT TO
THE IDEA. AGAIN TOOK SOME
INSTRUMENT FINANCE THE
MINISTRATION PROPOSES TWENTY
THREE POINT SEVEN MILLION TO
REIMBURSE COUNTIES CITIES. AND
SPECIAL DISTRICTS FOR PROPERTY
TAX LOSSES RESULTING FROM THE
TWENTY SEVENTEEN WILDFIRES THESE
REIMBURSEMENTS WILL CURRENT
TWENTY SEVEN EIGHTEEN AND TWENTY
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN FISCAL YEARS.
THESE ARE SIMILAR TO THE
REIMBURSEMENTS PROVIDED TO LAKE
IN CALAVERAS COUNTY TO REFINE IT
IN THE BUDGET ACT OF TWENTY
SIXTEEN.
SINCE THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
FIRES WERE BURNING AS WE DEVELOP
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET PROPOSAL.
WE'RE ACTIVELY WORKING WITH THE
COUNTY'S ESPECIALLY THOSE IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO COLLECT
PROPERTY TAX LOSS INFORMATION
WILL HAVE BETTER ESTIMATES AT
THE ME REVISE.
OTHER THAN THAT I'LL BE GLAD TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS INSTALLED
OPEN RECOMMENDATION YES SIR OKAY.
COLLEAGUES ANY QUESTIONS ANY
PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS.
OKAY WE'RE FIGHTING TO GET TO
THE MIKE YES MA'AM.
