AND NOT ABLE TO CONTINUE TO
OPERATE. IN FACT JUST THIS WEEK
THEY LOST THEIR FINAL APPEAL TO

LOOK FOR TO WORK WITH YOU MISTER
CHAIR I IN YOUR VERY CAPABLE
STAFF IN THE WEEKS TO COME ON
THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE.
BUT MISTER CHAIR IF YOU'RE
COMFORTABLE OF FINAL ITEM ITEM
THIRTY FIVE. YES. BUT MISTER
CHAIR THAT MARIN CINEMA NEAR US
QUARTER HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS
ONE OF THE MOST CONGESTED
QUARTERS IN THE BAY AREA.
THE CINEMA COUNTY SIDE OF THE
PROJECT IS NEARING COMPLETION OF
THIS IS HIGHWAY ONE TO ONE.
IN WE ARE STILL SEEN A ONE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR GAP ON
THE CINEMA SIDE BUT CINEMA
REPRESENTATIVES ARE HOPEFUL FOR
AN UPCOMING GRANT THAT WOULD
COMPLETE THE FINAL STRETCH OF
ROAD. OF HIGHWAY BUT IN EXPAND
NORTH AND SOUTH TO THREE LANES
IN EACH DIRECTION.
THE MARIN SEMINARIES PROJECT
WILL ADD HIGH OCCUPANCY VEHICLE
LANES THROUGHOUT THE COURT OR TO
JOIN THE AGE OF THE LANES SOUTH
OF THE PROJECT TO THE AGE OF HE
LEANS TO THE NORTH. ALONG WITH
ADDING MULTI USE PATHS AND
SAFETY IMPROVEMENT. SNOW
MURMURING COUNTIES HAVE MADE
GREAT INVESTMENTS THAT NEARLY A
QUARTER BILLION HAS BEEN SPENT
ON THIS AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL
STATE AND FEDERAL DOLLARS HAVE
BEEN LEVERAGED.
THERE WERE INSIDE OF THE NARROWS
IS THE CONTINUED CONCERN.
CURRENTLY SP ONE IN POTENTIAL
FUNDS FROM RACHEL MEASURES THREE
ON THE BALLOT IN JUNE SHOULD
FILL THE CONSTRUCTION FUNDING
GAP ON THE MARINE SIDE.
BUT ADDITIONAL FUNDS WILL BE
NEEDED FOR THE REMAINING DESIGN
WORK FOR THE MARINE SECTION OF
THE CINEMA NARROWS WHICH THEY
NEED TO KICK OFF IMMEDIATELY.
TRANSPORTATION THIRTY MARINE IS
WORKING ON COMING UP WITH ABOUT
EIGHT MILLION FOR DESIGN COSTS.
THEY'RE GONNA BE KICKING IN
ABOUT FIVE MILLION IN LOCAL AND
REGIONAL FUNDS.
THREE MILLION IN ONE TIME FUNDS
WILL ALLOW TEAM TO FINISH DESIGN
RIGHT AWAY IN PERMITTING WORK
FOR THE PORTION OF THE RAIN
CINNAMON HEROES PROJECT. THE
REASON WHY THAT'S SO IMPORTANT
TO BE A SECURE THOSE SB ONE INTO
REGIONAL MEASURE THREE DOLLARS
THEY HAVE TO HAVE IT FULLY
DESIGN ENGINEER. AT THIS WILL
ACCOMPANY THE WORK IS ALREADY
BEEN DOWN ON THE CINEMA SIDE TO
EXPEDITE THE COMPLETION THE
PROJECT THAT IMPACTS ABOUT A
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DAILY
CAR TRIPS. AND WOULD BE GRATEFUL
TO WORK WITH YOU HERE IN THE
WEEKS TO COME I THINK YOU FOR
ALLOWING ME TO BE ABLE TO
PRESENT MISTER CHAIR. THANK YOU.
CENTER SKINNER A GOOD MORNING
YOU HAVE.
ITEMS TWENTY NINE THIRTY AND
THIRTY ONE MEMBERS.
ON OUR.
THANK YOU.
.
CHAIR AND MEMBERS AND.
APOLOGIES THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE
YOUR BUT YOUR ATTENDED FRONT OF
ME BUT I WOULD JUST DO THIS VERY
BRIEFLY SINCE I HAVE TO GO
ACROSS THE HALL ENSURE MY OWN
COMMITTEE.
SO ON I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE
THIS REFERS TO BUT I'M REFERRING
NOW TO HEALTHY SOILS. BE.
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET.
HAD A REDUCTION IN THE HEALTHY
SOILS ALLOCATION.
I WOULD LIKE TO RESTORE IT.
I RECOMMEND THE COMMITTEE
CONSIDER RESTORING IT TO WHAT IT
WAS IN PREVIOUS YEARS WHICH IS
TEN MILLION AND I WOULD JUST
REFER YOU TO.
WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE ROLE OF
HEALTHY SOILS IN CARBON
SEQUESTRATION THE NEW YORK TIMES
SUNDAY MAGAZINE JUST A COUPLE OF
WEEKS AGO? HAD A FULL ARTICLE
THAT FEATURED SOME OF THE PILOT
PROJECTS THAT HEALTHY SOILS HAS
FUNDED IN CALIFORNIA IN THE
ENTIRE ARTICLE WAS ABOUT. THIS A
RULE OF HEALTHY SOILS IN CARBON
SEQUESTRATION.
ON THE NEXT ISSUE I'D LIKE TO
ADDRESS IS. ON THE GOVERNORS OF
BUDGET INCREASES FUNDS FOR THE
ADVANCED RENEWABLE FUEL AND
VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM. AND
IN IT THE LANGUAGE THE IN THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET INCLUDES.
SOME EXPANSION OF ELECTRIC
VEHICLE CHARGING.
I RECOMMEND THAT WE DIRECT A
PORTION OF THAT
TWO DC FAST CHARGING. AND MY.
MOTIVATION OR A LOGIC IS THAT
WE WANT TO GET MORE ZERO
EMISSION VEHICLES IN OUR HIGHLY
POLLUTED URBAN AREAS AND ARE
HIGHLY CONGESTED URBAN AREAS.
AND WE WANT HIGH VMT WE WANT
PEOPLE THAT USE THEIR CARS A LOT
TO HAVE STEPS INTO CHARGE THEM
THAT IN TWO MOST OPTIMIZE THAT
IT REQUIRES THE FAST CHARGING.
SO THAT IS THE LOGIC FOR THAT
ASK.
THEN FINALLY.
RECOMMENDS THAT THIS IS NOT A
DOLLAR AMOUNT BUT IT PRIORITY
THAT ARE BE BE ALLOWED TO
PRIORITIZE.
THE REBATES UNDER THE CLEAN
VEHICLE REBATE PROGRAM THIS IS
NOT EXCLUSIVELY BUT THEY ALLOWED
TO FACTOR IN HIGH VMT DRIVERS
THE LOGIC HERE IS THAT. WE WHILE
WE WOULD LIKE.
EVERYONE TO HAVE A ZERO
EMISSION VEHICLE WE WANT TO
ENSURE THAT THE ZERO EMISSION
VEHICLES WERE PROVIDING REBATES
FOR ARE NOT JUST ONES THAT ARE
KEPT IN SOMEBODY'S GARAGE. AS
THE OCCASIONAL USE VEHICLE WE
WANT IT TO BE USED FOR THE. FOR
PEOPLE WHO USE THEIR VEHICLES A
LOT AND I WOULD POINT TO EXAMPLE
THOSE TO.
DO RIDE HAILING SERVICE'S OR
OTHER TYPES OF WEATHER.
RIGHT CHEERING YOU NAME IT IF
THEY ARE HIGH VMT DRIVERS THEN
OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD LIKE THERE'RE
VEHICLES TO BE ZEV AND NOT JUST
FROM A CARBON POINT OF VIEW BUT
BECAUSE OF TAILPIPE POLLUTION.
AND WE'VE JUST SEEN THE RECENT
REPORTS THAT THE BAY AREA HAS
NOW BEEN RANKED IN WORSE.
BUT FROM THE POLLUTION POINT OF
VIEW WORSE THAN IT HAS BEEN IN
YEARS PREVIOUSLY SO WE KNOW THAT
AIR POLLUTION IS A SERIOUS ISSUE
AND ALMOST EVERYONE OF OUR URBAN
AREAS AND WE ARE A NON
ATTAINMENT. AND THIS WOULD BOTH
A FAST CHARGING AND THE
ENCOURAGEMENT OF HIGH VMT
DRIVERS GETTING SUCH VEHICLES
WOULD BENEFIT US THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
PART OF.
SEEING NO OTHER MEMBERS HERE AND
WE DID.

WEIGH PRESENTATION LET'S OPEN UP
FOR PUBLIC HEARING CITY SIR. THE

AND THIS IS A HAVE A TUNE A
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR REQUEST TO
HELP FIND STORIES THE AIDS
MONUMENT AND CITY WEST HOLLYWOOD

DEVASTATION OF THE AIDS EPIDEMIC.
AIDS CLAIMED THE LIVES OF SIX
AND A FIFTY THOUSAND AMERICANS
THAT'S MORE THAN THE TOTAL
AMERICAN DEATHS.
IN WORLD WAR ONE AND WORLD WAR
TWO COMBINED.
AND OF COURSE IT KILLED MANY
MANY MORE ALL OVER THE WORLD.
AND SO AS FOLKS MAY KNOW WEST
HOLLYWOOD REALLY WAS GROUND ZERO
FOR THE AIDS EPIDEMIC FOR
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
AND WE HAVE FOUND A BEAUTIFUL
LOCATION RIGHT IN THE HEART OF
WEST HOLLYWOOD FOR THIS MONUMENT.
IT WILL BE IN A PUBLIC PARK ON
LAND DONATED. BY THE CITY
RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO THE LIBRARY
THE BIG PUBLICLY BE THEY'VE
BUILT IT WILL BE A SOLEMN LA BUT

EXPERIENCE AND THERE'S SOME SOME
PRETTY VIDEO ONLINE THAT WE CAN

A LOOK AT IT.
NUYS SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT
WHAT'S BEING ENVISIONED.
BUT SINCE TWENTY THIRTEEN A
NONPROFIT FOUNDATION ESTABLISHED.

FRUITION HAS RAISED THREE POINT
EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS FROM FIVE
HUNDRED INDIVIDUAL AND
INSTITUTIONAL DONORS.
THE COST TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT
IS APPROXIMATELY FIVE POINT TWO

TIME INCREASE OF TWELVE MILLION

THAT HAS REACHED ITS END OF

AT THE LAST HEARING. THERE WAS
CONCERNS ABOUT WHY THE

REPLACEMENT NEED OF SIXTY
MILLION DOLLARS IN PREPARATION

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INDULGENCE
TRANSPORTATION FOLKS LET'S MOVE
ON TO A INDIRECT COSTS A GREAT
PROPOSAL THIS IS ISSUE NUMBER
TWO.
YOUR MONEY STEVEN TECH WITH
CALTRANS.
I'M JUST GONNA GIVE YOU A BRIEF
UPDATE ON WHAT THE ICRP IS AND
HOW CALTRANS DEALS WITH THIS.
THE INDIRECT COST FREE PROPOSAL
OR ICRP AS WE LIKE TO CALL IT.
IS A MEANS BY WHICH WE CAN
ASSIGN A OVERHEAD TYPES OF COSTS
TO INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS IS THAT
THESE ARE TIED TO COME.
YOU CANNOT DIRECTLY TALK FOR
PROJECT PUT OUT TO COSTS OF
SUPPORTING THE WORK ON THOSE
PROJECTS.
THE PURPOSE OF DOING THIS IS SO
THAT WE CAN HAVE AN ACCURATE
RECORD OF WHAT TRUE PROJECT
COSTS ARE THAT INCLUDE
EVERYTHING FROM THE ALLOW IT TO
THE LEADERSHIP WE SAY EVERYTHING
FROM GRAVEL TO THE GOVERNOR CREATED UNDER THE.
GUIDANCE AND UNDER THE
GUIDELINES FROM THE FEDERAL
HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION
EVERY STATE GOVERNMENT ARE IN
EVERY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
THAT DEALS WITH FEDERAL.
AGENCIES ARMED RECEIVES FUNDING
FROM FEDERAL AGENCIES MUST HAVE
A NICE YOUR P. RIGHT.
OUR RATE IS APPROVED BOTH BY THE
FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION
AND BY OUR OWN DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE.
IT'S MADE UP OF TWO INDIVIDUAL
COMPONENTS
BUT FIRST IN THE LARGER OF THE
TWO IS THE FUNCTIONAL ICRP RATE.
THIS IS THE RIGHT.
THAT COVERS SUCH THINGS AS
EQUIPMENT FOR THE EMPLOYEES THE
SUPERVISION AND MANAGEMENT OF
THE EMPLOYEES.
HOUSING AND.
.
YEAH. THE FACILITIES FOR THAT
EMPLOYEE THAT'S A LARGER OF THE
TWO RATES AND THE SECOND IS FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEAD SUCH AS
HUMAN RESOURCES.
NOW.
ACCOUNTING AND OTHER.
AREAS WITHIN THE CALTRANS THAT
ALSO ACCOUNTS FOR.
STATE GOVERNMENT OUTSIDE OF
CALTRANS.
SUCH THINGS AS THAT OF THE STATE
TREASURY THE COMPTROLLER'S
OFFICE.
EVEN THE LEGISLATURE.
AND OF THE LARGEST PART OF THIS
CATEGORY IS OF HEALTH CARE COSTS
RETIRED EMPLOYEES WHICH ARE TRUE
COSTS OF EMPLOYING.
FULL TO CALTRANS OR ANY STATE
AGENCY.
SO THEY POLICY FOR FULL COST
RECOVERY THAT THE STATE HAS
REQUIRES US TO CHARGE BOTH OF
THOSE TO RATES WHENEVER WE ARE
BEING REIMBURSED FOR WORK DONE
FOR OTHERS.
AND THAT IS SO THAT WE RECEIVE
FLORA REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE FULL
COST THE TRUE COST OF DOING
BUSINESS.
AND LESS IT'S OTHERWISE
SPECIFIED IN LAW AND YOUR AGENDA
ITEMS
SUFFICE THE VERY FEW INSTANCES
WHERE WE.
.
WE FORGO ONE OR BOTH OF THOSE
RATES IN ABOUT FOUR
CIRCUMSTANCES.
SO VIS LE REIMBURSEMENTS UP AS
TO DEFRAY THE TO COSTS OF OF
DOING BUSINESS.
I THINK IT'S IT'S MENTIONED IN
YOUR.
AGENDA IT'S ABOUT FIFTEEN
COSTS WERE TO SELF HELP COUNTIES
IN THE LAST YEAR.
UNION AND.
TO FOLLOW UP WITH THAT WE'VE.
READ THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE
LA OUT TO LOOK INTO THIS AND. WE
HAVE ACTUALLY NO OBJECTION WE
SUPPORT THAT.
THERE'S A IT'S A COMPLICATED
ISSUE AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO
THEIR INSIGHT.
INTO THE DISCUSSION
IT REMINDS ME WHEN ONE OF MY
JUDGES IN ALAMEDA COUNTY WAS
TALKING ABOUT THE COST
REIMBURSEMENT THAT THEY HAVE TO
PAY TO THE COUNTY SHERIFF. AND
COUNTY SHERIFF CHARGES EACH OF
OUR COUNTY'S RICH PART COURTS
THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF THE
SHERIFFS THAT PROVIDED THERE
EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THOSE
SHERIFFS ACTUALLY DO DIRECT WORK
ON WEEKENDS AND OTHER WORK
WITHIN THE SHERIFF SEE. WITHIN
THE SHERIFF DEPARTMENT SO
THEY'RE NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT
WITH THE WITH THAT COURSE SO
THEY HAVE THEIR. RETIREMENT THEY
HAVE THEIR VACATION AND THE
SHERIFF TO SOMEONE A
PROPORTIONATE BETWEEN. THOSE
COSTS THE ALTHOUGH THEIR FIXED
COSTS RIGHT THEIR FIXED COSTS IN
THE THEIR THEY JUST SAY YOU
COURTS YOU CAN PAY FOR ALL OF
THAT AND.
IT'S ONE OF THESE ISSUES SAID IS
A WELL ONCE WE WONDER WHAT'S
FAIR IS FAIR I GUESS IS A SELF
HELP COUNTIES WOULD DO THAT SO
ELIA WHAT'S YOUR COMMENT OR IF
YOU HAVE ANY.
THIS IS THIS IS TO. HOLD OPEN IS
HAVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND TO
ADOPT SOME SUB ALONG REPORTING
LANGUAGE. BUT THERE HAVE BEEN I
THINK SOME.
QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS OVER THE
YEARS REGARDING THE CONTRACT
COST RECOVERY RATE IN THE
EXEMPTION SO.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH
OF REPORTING REQUIREMENT FOR OUR
OFFICE TO LOOK INTO IT AND
REPORT BACK.
LET'S OPEN UP THE PUBLIC
HEARINGS ANYBODY HERE FROM THE
PUBLIC TO HAVE SOME OPINION ON
THIS SITE ITEM. THAT WAS
CHAIRMAN KEITH ON EXECUTOR
CONSULTANT COUNTIES COALITION.
I WOULD ASK THAT AND AND STATE
FRANKLY THAT WE DON'T NEED TO
STUDY WE KNOW WHAT THOSE COSTS
ARE NOT THAT HARD TO DETERMINE
AYE AYE I THINK BELIEVE THAT AS
PARTNERS OF WITH THE DEPARTMENT.
TO INVEST IN THE STATE HIGHWAY
THIS IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF
SMART REFORM THAT WILL PUT
DOLLARS BACK INTO PROJECTS.
THE EXPENDITURE PLANS AT EACH OF
YOU HAVE HAS SELF UP COUNTY
AGENCIES.
BUT THOSE COST SAVINGS BACK IN
THE PROJECTS WE CONTEMPLATED
INVESTMENTS IN THE STATE HIGHWAY
SYSTEM. AND LOOKING AT REFORMS
WITH THERE'D BEEN DISCUSSIONS OF
A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS OFF
THE TOP.
TO HAVE REFORMS OF THE
DEPARTMENT THIS IS AN EASY ONE
EASILY DONE.
THE ASSEMBLY HELD OPEN THIS ITEM
WITH REQUEST OF NO A A STUDY. I
WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE DON'T NEED
THAT STUDY I WOULD ENCOURAGE US
TO HAVE A FULLER DEBATE AT THE
FULL BUDGET. BUT I DON'T THINK
THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A STUDY
THOSE NUMBERS ARE EASILY
ATTAINED WE'VE DONE THIS FOR
HIGH SPEED RAIL WE DONE THIS FOR.
BUT PORTION OF THE STEP THAT WAS
AYE SUSPENDED AT ONETIME WHEN WE
HAD A.
THE FLUCTUATION IN REVENUE AND
ALSO FOR PLANNING INITIATION
DOCUMENT SO I THINK THIS IS A
MATTER OF FAIRNESS WE BELIEVE
THE DEPARTMENT CAN COVER THAT
COST NOT INCREASING THE COST
IT'S ALREADY THERE. AND WE'RE A
PARTNER THAN INVEST IN THE
SYSTEM AND WERE TOTALLY FINE
WITH THE FUNCTIONAL RATE OF
OVERHEAD SO.
AGAIN WE THINK THIS MAKES GOOD
SENSE IT'S GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE
AND IT WILL PUT THOSE DOLLARS
INTO PROJECTS SO THANK YOU.
THANK YOU NEXT.
THANK YOU MISTER TRIP MEMBERS
DEBATE WITH THEIR GRIEVANCES
HITS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL
ENGINEERS IN CALIFORNIA
GOVERNMENT WAYS WE AGREE WITH
MISTER DUNN IN THE SELF HELP
COUNTIES.
WHAT WE'RE TAKING ABOUT HERE
ARE COSTS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE PROJECT?
THE COST OF THE TREASURES OFFICE
OR THE COST OF THE TREASURER'S
OFFICE SELF HELP COUNTIES THAT
ARE DOING WORK FOR THE STATE ON
THE STATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM.
SHOULDN'T BE CHARGED FOR THE
COST OF THE TREASURER'S OFFICE
THEY SHOULD BE ACCOUNTED FOR
DIFFERENTLY.
SO AGAIN WE AGREE WITH MR DONE
THERE'S A LACK OF CONSISTENCY IN
HOW THINGS OVERHEAD CHARGES ARE
ASSESSED AND WE THINK THAT THAT.
PARTNERS THAT ARE DOING THE WORK
FOR THE STATE SHOULDN'T BE.
PAYING TO HAVE TO ACTUALLY FOR
THAT.
APPRECIATE YOUR HELP THANK YOU
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN EVERS
GUS COHERENT HALF THE SAME TILL
COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
TRANSPORTATION AGENCY FOR
MODERATE COUNTY.
STANISLAUS COUNCIL GOVERNMENTS
AND SEND BARBARA COUNTY
ASSOCIATION GOVERNMENTS AND SO.
WE ALSO CONCUR WITH THE
COMMENTS MADE BY PACK AND THE
SUFFOLK COUNTIES COALITION I
WILL SAY BECAUSE I I DON'T THINK
I HEARD IT THAT THESE BECAUSE
SOMETIMES OUR RANGE BETWEEN A
WERE FROM TWENTY TO THIRTY
PERCENT. AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT
TO PASS A SALES TAX MEASURE AND
FOR US AS A CHANCE
PLAYING AGENCY. BUT WE HAVE A
FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY TOWARD
TAXPAYERS IN EXECUTING ON THE
EXPANSION PLAN THAT THE VOTERS
APPROVED AND SO.
IN MANY CASES THE COUNTIES THAT
I REPRESENT ALSO HAVE A SMALL
POPULATION SO WE ONLY GENERATE A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF REVENUE. THAT
TO TRY REALLY TO IMPROVE STATE
ASSETS AND SO HAVING EXTRANEOUS
COSTS.
THE WAYS BOB PROJECT DELIVERY.
AND AND ALSO.
MY JUST A BILL TO DELIVER ON
BUDGET WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT WITH
THE ELIMINATION OF THE INDIRECT
COSTS THAT WOULD MAKE THE
DEPARTMENT MORE COMPETITIVE. FOR
PUBLIC AGENCIES TO WANT TO DO
WHY MORE WORK WITH THEM START
TRYING TO SOLICIT. A PRIVATE
ENTITIES TO COMPLETE THE ORK SO
FOR THOSE REASONS WE WOULD ASK
YOU TO CONSIDER THE SIDE WHEN
IT'S UP FOR A VOTE ACTION.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
ROBINSON OF THE OF THE CEMETERY
OF CITY COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF
GOVERNMENTS.
BUT THE FRESNO COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY AND THE
THOUGHT LOS ANGELES COUNTY

ME.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS WOULD
LEAD TO MORE MONEY GOING TO
ACTUAL HIGHWAY PROJECTS WERE
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS A THANK YOU.
ONE WOULD THINK THAT THAT MONEY
STAYING IN THE LOCAL
TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES TO BE
SPENT ON PROJECTS THAT A TEAM OF
HIGH PRIORITY. KISS.
ALRIGHT. THE MEMBER'S QUESTION
CENTER NIELSEN.
WHY IS ARE SIX BOOKS YOU THE
SELF HELP COUNTIES COULD WE NOT
HAVE RELEASED THE BASE FUNDING
FOR OTHER?
COUNTIES TO.
SO THE NET I HAVE ANOTHER FOLLOW
UP GO AHEAD CERTAINLY TOOK THE
INVERTED.
I SEPARATE IS APPLIED ANYTIME
YOU WORK PAID FOR BY OTHERS A
REIMBURSABLE FOR OTHERS.
THE IT'S JUST A SELF HELP
COUNTIES I BELIEVE HAVE
REQUESTED TO BE EXCUSED FROM THE
ADMINISTRATIVE PORTION OF THAT
ICRP RATE.
WELL I UNDERSTAND THE CALTRANS
TO THE MINISTRY COSTS A PRETTY
HIGH.
SHOULDN'T WE LET JANICE TAKE A
LOOK THAT.
YEAH THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT AS
PART OF THIS REPORTING
REQUIREMENT WOULD BE BOTH THE
RAY AS WELL AS THE EXEMPTIONS
ARE. ANNUAL REPORT TO US THAT.
IF YOU ADOPT THIS LANGUAGE.
ANY OTHER.

MCGUIRE.
STERN.
THANK YOU. EVIDENCED BY STATE
LET'S MOVE TO THE ENERGY
COMMISSION.
THIS IS.
THIS IS NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS ANNUALLY FOR SIX
TEMPORARY POSITIONS ON
ALTERNATIVE RENEWABLE FUEL AND
TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGY FUN
THIS IS OUR. IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE SCHOOL BUS RETROFIT AND.
REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
ISSUE. THIS IS ISSUE NUMBER ONE
WHAT THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY
COMMISSION.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR SENATORS
AYE COURTNEY SMITH CHIEF DEPUTY
DIRECTOR OF THE CALIFORNIA
ENERGY COMMISSION. PLAN AS YOU
MENTIONED.
WE ARE EQUESTING.
OF THE FUNDING AND A THREE YEAR
FUNDING OF FOR THE AMOUNT OF
NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND ANNUALLY
TO SUPPORT SIX TEMPORARY
POSITIONS. THAT WOULD BE USED TO
SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SCHOOL BUS
RETROFIT PROGRAM AS ALLOWED BY
SB ONE TEN.
SINCE THIS ITEM WAS HAD HELD A
HEARD BY THE COMMITTEE LAST TIME
WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO MAKE
PRETTY SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS IN
TERMS OF THE PROGRAMMATIC
DESIGNS SO I THINK I'M IN A
POSITION TO BE ABLE TO. ADDRESS
SOME OF THE COMMITTEE'S CONCERNS
REGARDING ON HOW FUNDS WILL BE
PRIORITIZE
FUNDS HAVE TO START SP ONE TEN
ACTUALLY DIRECTS THE COMMISSION
TO PRIORITIZE FINDS USING
SCREENING CRITERIA. ON THE FIRST
ONE IS THE AGE OF SCHOOL BUSES.
THAT SECOND LINE IS
PRIORITIZING DISTRICTS THAT.
HAVE A MAJORITY OF STUDENTS
WERE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE OR
REDUCED LUNCH PROGRAMS AND THEN
THE THIRD CRITERIA IS AND BASED
ON AND THE BUS IS LOCATED IN
DISTRICTS THAT SERVE
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. IN
ADDITION TO THOSE CRITERIA
HOWEVER THERE ARE. A FEW OTHER
PROGRAM DESIGN ELEMENTS THAT
WE'VE INCORPORATED IN ORDER TO
ENSURE THAT THE FUNDS ARE MORE
EQUITABLY DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE
STATE INCLUDING SMALL.
DISTRICTS AS WELL AS MORAL
DISTRICTS.
SO ONE OF THE PROGRAM DESIGN
ELEMENTS IS ACTUALLY LIMITING
THE NUMBER OF BUSES THAT EACH
SCHOOL DISTRICT COULD GET TO TEN.
ANOTHER DESIGN ELEMENT IS WE ARE
ADOPTING THE GEOGRAPHICAL
DISTRIBUTION APPROACH THAT'S
USED BY THE PROP THIRTY NINE
PROGRAM IN WHICH THE STATE'S
DIVIDED GENERALLY INTO FOUR
REGIONS AND THOSE MONIES WOULD
BE. DISPERSED BETWEEN THOSE
REGIONS ABOUT EIGHTEEN POINT
SEVEN FIVE MILLION EACH.
AGAIN THIS PURPOSE.
PREVENTS Y. NET.
GEOGRAPHICAL REGION WITHIN THE
STATE FROM.
US SUCKING UP MOST OF THE
BENEFITS OF THE PROGRAM ON IN
ADDITION TO THAT WE PLAN TO
CONDUCT AN OUTREACH TO AIR
DISTRICTS IN RURAL AREAS AND IN
ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE
AWARE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY.
AND LASTLY WHILE THE PROGRAM IS
VERY MUCH FOCUSED ON PROVIDING
ALL ELECTRIC SCHOOL BUSES AND WE
ARE ALSO ALLOWING ON OTHER
VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY TYPES
PARTICULARLY CNG I'M FOR IT
INSTANCES IN WHICH. AN ELECTRIC
SCHOOL BUS DOESN'T WORK SO IF
THERE'S A RULE AREA WITH A
PARTICULAR ROUTE. TEMPERATURE
THE SORTS OF THINGS THAT
ELECTRIC WOULDN'T WORK FOR THEM
WE ARE ON THE OPENING IT UP TO
OTHER TECHNOLOGY TYPES. ON SO
BASED ON THIS PROGRAM DESIGN.
WE WHERE WE'RE FAIRLY CONFIDENT
THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO REACH A
LOT OF THE RURAL AREAS. WE PLAN
TO HAVE COLLECTED BETTER
INFORMATION IN THE COURSE OF.
ACTUALLY RECEIVING APPLICATIONS.
ON WHAT THE FLEET OF SCHOOL
BUSES LOOK LIKE THROUGHOUT THE
STATE BUT BASED ON THE DATA THAT
WE DO HAVE. WE'VE APPLIED THE
CRITERIA AS IT'S PROPOSED
CURRENTLY.
WE'RE SEEING THAT TWENTY FIVE
PERCENT OR MORE OF ELIGIBLE
APPLICANTS ARE ACTUALLY LOCATED
IN SMALL TOWN AND RURAL DISTRICT.
AND SO WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT
THAT THAT PROGRAM DESIGNED WILL
BE ABLE TO SAY THE ON REALLY
MAKE SURE THESE BENEFITS ARE
SEEN BY. BY ALL CALIFORNIANS.
TAKE ALEJO.
NO CONCERNS A CISCOSAY ALL THE
SCHOOL BUSES LOOK THE SAME
THEY'RE ALL YELLOW.
.
SENATE MCGUIRE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
MISTER CHAIR AND DO APPRECIATE.
THE WORK THAT. HAS BEEN AS GONE
IN SINCE THIS. PROPOSAL WAS
ORIGINALLY IN FRONT OF US INTO
ONE OF DOLLARS THAT HE SHE YOUR
STAFF WHO CAN WORK IN. A LOT
WITH OUR OFFICE AS WELL AND
OTHER OFFICES AND WE'RE VERY
APPRECIATIVE.
JUST A FEW ITEMS IN REGARDS TO
THIS ISSUE THAT I'D LIKE TO BE
ABLE TO BRING FORWARD.
I THINK THAT IT ONE OF THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS WE HAVE AND
OF THE CALAVERAS CAN WE HAVE
SOME OF THE POOREST COMMUNITIES
IN THE STATE.
IN RURAL CALIFORNIA THAT WILL
NEVER. QUALIFY FOR THE
DISADVANTAGE COMMUNITY STATUS
COMPETING EXAMPLE. THAT TRINITY
COUNTY IS THE POOREST STATE IN
CITY CALIFORNIA.
THEY WILL NEVER QUALIFY UNDER
THE CALAVERAS SCREEN.
AS ONE OF THE FILTERS THAT IS
IN THIS PROGRAM. BUT THERE THE
POOREST COMMUNITY IN THE STATE.
SO THEY MAY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
NUMBERS OF FREE AND REDUCED
LUNCH BUT BEFORE TAKING A LOOK
AT WHAT THAT CUMULATIVE EFFECT
IS FOR THE LENSES. PAT THERE'S
SOME CONCERN.
THE IN AGAIN HOUSE ONE OF
KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU EVEN WORK ON
THIS AND IT'S VERY VERY GRATEFUL.
THE OTHER CONCERN THAT I HAVE IS
THAT.
THE CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES
BOARD SPENT.
TWELVE EIGHTEEN MONTHS BEEN ABLE
TO DEVELOP THEIR PROGRAM.
I AM. TRYING TO BE ADDRESSED
CONCERNS PROJECT WE FROM THOSE
DISTRICTS THAT ARE.
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED OR LESS.
AND BROUGHT IN STAKEHOLDERS IN.
VERY SINCERE PROCESS TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT WOULD WORK BEST
OBVIOUSLY FOR THOSE RULE I
DISTRICTS IN THE REASON WHY I'M
ONLY TALK ABOUT RELEASE DURING
THE BUDGET CRISIS.
SUBURBAN AND URBAN DISTRICTS
THOUGHT HAIRCUT I IN THEIR
BUDGET WHEN IT COMES CHO BUS
REPLACEMENT. RURAL SIDE YEAH THE
TOTAL FIVE MILLION ELIMINATED SO
WAS BROUGHT BACK IN HER CAR FOR
TOTAL TEN MILLION THIS IS THE
FIRST YEAR THAT WE SAW DOLLARS
ROLLING OUT WHICH WERE VERY
GRATEFUL FOR TO DO ONE IT
KNOWLEDGE. THOUGHT CARP IN THE
GOVERNOR.
FOR THEIR SUPPORT OF THAT.
FAST FORWARD TO WHERE WE'RE AT
TODAY. UNDER THAT THE ENERGY
COMMISSION OF SPLITTING THE
STATE UP UNDER THE PROPOSED
PROGRAM YOU WOULD HAVE CRESCENT
CITY.
THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE WE WOULD
HAVE RARE.
HE WOULD HAVE WEAVERVILLE
COMPETING AGAINST SAN FRANCISCO.
BECAUSE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
FOR EXAMPLE GIVE THIRTY THREE
COUNTIES.
THERE'S NO WAY THAT A SMALL.
COMMUNITY IS GOING TO BE ABLE
TO COMPETE AGAINST UP THAT
BEHEMOTH OF A SAN FRANCISCO UP
OR EVEN.
A WEALTHY COMMUNITY LIKE A
MARIN COUNTY.
FURTHERMORE. I MANY OF THESE.
SOUTHERN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
COUNTY CENTER WAS IN WAS CAN USE
ACTORS BECAUSE I KNOW.
THEIR RD WITHIN THEIR DISTRICTS
THAT ARE PROVIDING. CARL MOYER
FUNDS ARE IN HAVE BEEN VERY
GENEROUS IN THEIR CAR LAWYER
PROGRAM FOR SCHOOL BUS
REPLACEMENT.
THOSE WHO ARE TO THE NORTH IN
THE MOST RULE IN CANADA THE MOST
POOR. DON'T HAVE ACCESS OUGHT TO
THAT IN MANY OF THOSE ARE
DISTRICTS FOR EXAMPLE UP ON THE
NORTH COAST.
I IT IS VERY LIMITED.
SO.
AGAIN EASY WE HAVE DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES STATUS THAT WILL
NEVER BE ACHIEVED.
YOU HAVE AIR DISTRICTS IN THE
SOUTH BETTER ABLE TO PUMP
LITERALLY TENS OF MILLIONS
DOLLARS IN IN A SCHOOL BUS
REPLACEMENT.
AND YOU HAVE RURAL SCHOOL
DISTRICTS BECAUSE THEY WERE
RECEIVING DOLLARS FROM THE PEAK
OF THE RECESSION UP UNTIL THIS
YEAR. IN SCHOOL BUS REPLACEMENTS
ALMOST A FULL DECADE HAS GONE BY.
I TO BE A TAKES HIM THE DIRTIEST
BURNING VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD.
SO I STILL HAVE CONCERNS IN NOT
AT ALL.
I TRYING TO BE A THORN IN YOUR
SIDE BUT I JUST LIVE IN IT EVERY
DAY. ON IT IS VERY CHALLENGING
FOR THESE RURAL DISTRICTS TO BE
OF COMPETE ESPECIALLY IF THERE
COULD NOT IF YOU'RE COMPETING AT
COUNTY OF TWENTY THREE THOUSAND
TOTAL. AGAINST A SITTING COUNTY
SAN FRANCISCO.
YEAH NO I I ABSOLUTELY
APPRECIATE THAT ON IN TERMS OF
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES STATUS
ON. WE DON'T HAVE POWER OVER
CHANGING THE CALAVERAS SCREEN
AND AND STATURE DIRECTS US TO
USE IT AS A CRITERIA HOWEVER WE
HAVE CHOSEN TO WAITED QUITE LOW.
AND SO IN TERMS OF THE THREE
CRITERIA STATUTE DIRECTS US TO
USE THE AGE OF THE SCHOOL BUS IS
BY FAR THE STRONGEST ON
DETERMINER OF. I'M SCORING A
WE'VE WAITED AT SEVENTY PERCENT
ON SO FOR RULE DISTRICTS WHO
HAVE ON YOU KNOW SINCE YOU
ECONOMIC ISSUES ON IT'S. I THINK
VERY LIKELY THAT THEY WILL HAVE
MANY OF THE OLDEST BUSES IN THE
STATE. ON THE SECOND CRITERIA
AYE AT.
TWENTY PERCENT IS THE MAJORITY
OF STUDENTS WITH THAT ARE
ELIGIBLE FOR THE FREE AND
REDUCED LUNCH THAT OBVIOUSLY
ALSO BEING A PROXY FOR LOW
INCOME. AND SO.
WHILE DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES
STATUS IS A FACTOR IT'S NOT A
VERY HEAVY ONE ON LIKE LARGELY
BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO
REACH A LOT OF THE AREAS THAT AS
YOU MENTION. STRUGGLE. ON THE
STATUTE REALLY IS FOCUSED ON
GETTING THE DIRTIEST BUSES OFF
OF OUR STATE OF AND THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITH THE
DESIGN OF THE PROGRAM. AND AS I
MENTIONED YOU KNOW BASED ON THE
INFORMATION THAT WE DO HAVE WE
DO WE ACTUALLY DO THINK THAT
MANY RULE AND SMALL DISTRICTS
ARE GOING TO BE ABLE HAVE A SEAT
AT THE TABLE. ON AS I MENTIONED
TWENTY FIVE PERCENT IF NOT
HIGHER ON AND WE ARE PUTTING IN
A LOT OF AS I MENTIONED BECAUSE
A LOT OF DESIGN ELEMENTS TO TRY
AND PREVENT THE SAN FRANCISCO'S
OF THE AREA OF THE WORLD TO.
FROM SUCKING UP ALL OF THE MONEY
FROM.
SENATE APC DATA I THINK THAT AND
I WON'T BELABOR THE POINT.
FIVE.
CARB WENT THROUGH A PROCESS.
BUT.
PAYING FULL PROCESS AT TIMES
TRYING TO BE ABLE TO GET A RIGHT
AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR THEIR
EFFORT.
WE ARE LITERALLY SETTING UP A
PARALLEL PROCESS.
DOING THE SAME THING OF ANOTHER
STATE AGENCY.
BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO DETERMINE.
IS.
WHY CAN'T THERE BE COLLABORATION
OF WE KNOW? THAT A RESULTS
DRIVEN DATA DRIVEN APPROACH HAS
ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED.
WHY WERE NOW SETTING UP A SECOND?
OUR STATE AGENCYDOING LEGALLY
THE SAME THING.
WHEN WE HAD ALL STAKEHOLDERS
TOGETHER.
AND THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO FIND
COLLABORATION BUT NOW WE'RE
GOING TO SET UP A SECOND SILO.
BY THE WAY VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE
FUNDING.
BUT WE ALREADY HAVE A STATE
AGENCY THIS DOING THIS.
AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO ASK
DISTRICTS WHO HAVE SPENT THE
TIME TO BE A TO COMPLY WITH WHAT
THOSE RULES AND RATES ARE UNDER
CAR.
THE B. ABLE TO NOW GO THROUGH. I
NEARLY IDENTICAL PROCESS BUT
WITH DIFFERENT REGULATIONS.
YEAH FUND SO WE WE ARE
COORDINATING CLOSELY WITH THE
AIRBOARD WE RECOGNIZE THAT THEY
HAVE A LOT OF THE ON
INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE. THE
CONNECTIONS TO LOCAL AIR
DISTRICTS AND WE ALSO.
HAVE BLOWN MANY CONNECTIONS TO
OUR PROP THIRTY NINE WORK WITH
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND COUNTY
OFFICES OF EDUCATION WHICH I
THINK IS A REAL GOOD VALUE ADD.
AND THE OTHER THING I WANT TO
MENTION WHICH HASN'T REALLY BEEN
ELEVATED IS ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT WE'RE HOPING TO DO IS THAT
WE'RE PLANNING TO DO IS TO
ACTUALLY BE ABLE TOOFFER. BULK
PURCHASING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES
SO YOU KNOW IT'S A DID A LITTLE
BIT DIFFERENT MODEL THAN THE
AIRPORT APPROACH THE IDEA BEING
THAT IF WE.
CAN SERVE AS AN INTERMEDIARY TO
PURCHASE ON A LOT OF THE
VEHICLES IN BULK IT'S JUST GONNA
BE A LOT CHEAPER FOR DISTRICTS
AND IT'S GONNA MAKE THIS MONEY
GO A LOT FURTHER.
SO I I THINK THAT.
IN PLEASE CLICK AROUND IF I'M
WRONG BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT
WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE HAVING
THESE CONVERSATIONS AS WE MOVE
FORWARD BECAUSE. I YOU KNOW
AGAIN I THINK THEY'RE STILL
CONCERNED PRETTY GOOD FOR THE
SMALL RURAL DISTRICTS ABOUT HOW
THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO
COMPETE. ABSOLUTELY AND I THINK
THAT YEAR HERE OF YOUR COMMENTS
ARE OMPLETELY REASONABLE AND I
THINK AT THIS STAGE IT'S.
PROBABLY BEST FOR ME TO TAKE
SOME OF THAT BACK TO MY
COMMISSIONERS ON WE WERE AIMING
IN TERMS OF TIMING TO ON GET
THIS MONEY OUT AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE. AND SO WE'RE REALLY
MOVING TO BE ABLE TO ISSUE A
SOLICITATION AT THE END OF THIS
MONTH. HOWEVER ON YOU KNOW IF
THERE ARE FUNDS AND DESIRES TO
ALTER HOW THE PROGRAM IS
DESIGNED IT THAT WOULD IMPACT
TIMING BUT AND I'M HAPPY TO
BRING THAT BACK TO THE
COMMISSION. AND LET THAT GET
EVAN OFF ON COMPETITION IN THE
NEXT WEEK WITH THE EX AND I YOU
KNOW I TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE
OKAY SOUNDS GOOD.
I THINK I.
SEEING NO OTHER QUESTIONS WILL
ENTERTAIN A MOTION STAFF
RECOMMENDATIONS TO PROVE IS TO
APPROVE IS BUDGETED.
AS A MOTION BY CENTER STERN
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. AYE CASKEY
AYE NIELSEN.
MCGUIRE.
STERN BY.
OKAY THAT MATTER HAS.
TWO VOTES WILL HOLD IT OPEN.
LET'S GO ISSUE NUMBER TWO.
PLEASE SEND US YOUR OMISSIONS
ALL INFRASTRUCTURE.
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE AND SO IS
THE COMMITTEE HEARD LAST TIME ON
WE ARE ON PUTTING FORTH A
PROPOSAL TO.
FUND TO THE TUNE OF TWO HUNDRED
THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS AND ZERO
MISSION.
VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE
AMONG MANY OF THE STATE'S CLEAN
AIR AND CLIMATE BULLS REALLY
REQUIRE US TO TRANSITION ARE
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR TO MORE
ZERO MISSION TECHNOLOGIES.
RIGHT NOW ONE OF THE BARRIERS
FOR THE KIND OF ACCELERATED
ADOPTION THAT WE NEED IS THE
AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC VEHICLE
INFRASTRUCTURE. AND SO THIS
PROPOSAL REALLY FOCUSES ON
TRANSITIONING THE ALTERNATIVE
AND RENEWABLE FEET VEHICLE. AND
FUEL TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM UNTO
REALLY DOUBLE DOWN ON ZERO
EMISSION VEHICLE TECHNOLOGIES.
THAT TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE IS
PROPOSED IS REALLY INTENDED TO
SIGNAL THAT FOCUS ON THIS
PARTICULAR TECHNOLOGY TYPE WHILE
ALSO ALLOWING FOR A LITTLE BIT
OF FLEXIBILITY FOR SOME OF THE
OTHER. ON TECHNOLOGY TYPES ON IN
PARTICULAR FREIGHT AND.
MEDIUM HEAVY DUTY ON IS
PROPOSED TO BE FUNDED TO THE
TUNE OF SEVENTEEN POINT FIVE
MILLION NEXT YEAR.
BELIAU YOU HAVE A COMMENT.
ROSS BROWN WITH THE LA.
AS YOUR AGENDA NOTES. WE THINK
IT'S REASONABLE FOR THE
COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER THAT SUCH
AS PART OF A LARGE MIRROR INSIDE
INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGED AS FAR
AS THE TRAILER BILL ITSELF WE
DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC CONCERNS
BUT AS THE ISSUE MOVES FORWARD
RAPID WORK WITH YOUR STAFF TO.
ENSURE THAT ITS IMPLEMENTING
WHATEVER THE LEGISLATURE'S
DIRECTION IS ON THIS ISSUE.
BUT LET'S OPEN UP TO PUBLIC
HEARING THAT MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC THAT HERE IN ISSUE NUMBER
TWO WITH THE. FIRE DEPARTMENT OF.
FOR THE ENERGY FACT COMMISSION
ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE
INFRASTRUCTURE THE MORNING OR
GOOD AFTERNOON.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
BIRDS DELYLAH CLAY HERE ON
BEHALF OF TOYOTA IN SUPPORT OF
THIS AB TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE
AND IN PARTICULAR THE INCREASED
INVESTMENT IN HYDROGEN AND
FUELING INFRASTRUCTURE.
THE CBC'S PROGRAM IS REALLY THE
ONLY SOURCE OF STATE INVESTMENT
AND HYDROGEN FUELING
INFRASTRUCTURE SO WE'RE VERY
HAPPY TO SEE THAT PROPOSAL THERE.
THANK YOU.
I THINK YOU.
OPPOSE OUT OF.
PAUL WILL TO CALL TAKERS
SUPPOSED TO SUPPORTING BREAK.
GOOD MORNING I'M A RAIN KENNY
WITH CLEAN ENERGY ON BEHALF OF
THE BILE FEELS INDUSTRIES OF.
ABOUT METHANE ABOUT DIESEL
ETHANOL PROPANE WE ARE.
VERY OPPOSED TO THIS SIDE KILL
BILL LANGUAGE THIS IS A DISASTER
FOR THE BILE FEELS INDUSTRIES IN
CALIFORNIA.
THE BILL'S INTENT IS TO PROVIDE
FUNDING FOR.
TECHNOLOGIES THAT WILL BENEFIT
THE STATE'S CLIMATE TIED CHANGE
GOALS THIS BILL TAKE US
BACKWARDS IT FOCUSES ON
PASSENGER VEHICLES ARE MOSTLY.
OUT WITH PER THE GOVERNOR'S
EXECUTIVE ORDER IGNORES THE BILE
FEELS SIDE THAT BENEFITS FOR
PASSENGER VEHICLES BUT ALSO
MEDIUM AND HEAVY DUTY VEHICLES
AS WELL. BILE FIELDS MAKE UP
EIGHTY NINE PERCENT OF THE L.
CFS.
AND TO TAKE AWAY THE FUNDING
SENDS UP BY A VERY BAD SIGNAL TO
THE COMPANIES I IN CALIFORNIA
THAT PRODUCED BY A FEELS. WE
NEED MARKET CERTAINTY WE NEED
FUNDING CERTAINTY AND THIS BILL
TAKES US AWAY FROM THAT.
THIS MONEY IS SAN THE. NEW SOLAR
HOMES PARTNERSHIP THIS IS ITEM
NUMBER TWO.
RIGHT. WOULDN'T TRANSFERRED
MONEY FROM THE SOLAR HOMES.
PROGRAM THAT'S IT'S COULD EXPIRE
MIND THE RIGHT.
SO THE PROPOSAL IS HAUNTED.
TAKE MONIES FROM AIR FTTP PATH
ON WHICH WAS SIDE TRADITIONALLY
FLOWN WENT DO UP WENT TO A
VARIETY OF TECHNOLOGY TYPES.
IN ADDITION TO THAT AUGMENTING
IT WITH THE REMAINING BALANCE OF
THE NEW SOLAR HOMES PARTNERSHIP
PROGRAM AND THAT SUPPORT. OUR
YOU KNOW JUST ADD ONE FELL NOTED
THAT THE BILL EXPRESSLY TAKES
OUT THE IDEA FUELING TECHNOLOGY
NEUTRALITY.
AND FOCUSES ONLY ON ZERO
MISSION.
THANK YOU.
HI THIS IS JUST SERVING THOSE
THE RECOMMENDATIONS TO HOLD IT
OPEN.
MAX
TO THE ELEVEN WITH A BIO ENERGY
ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA I ECHO
THE COMMENTS FROM CLEAN ENERGY.
OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE
GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE ORDER CALLS
FOR FIVE MILLIONS AS WE STRONGLY
SUPPORT THAT THAT WILL BE
FANTASTIC. THERE WILL STILL BE
TWENTY FIVE MILLION OTHER
VEHICLES ON THE ROAD IN TWENTY
THIRTY. AND TO PUT ALL OF THE
AIR FTTP MONEY THE AB ONE
EIGHTEEN MONEY. INTO ZERO
EMISSION VEHICLES IGNORES THOSE
OTHER TWENTY FIVE MILLION
VEHICLES THAT WILL BE ON THE
ROAD IN ADDITION.
THIS IS NOT GOOD SCIENCE TO
CHOOSE TECHNOLOGIES RATHER THAN
SETTING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.
THE GOVERNOR THE COMMISSION HAS
DONE A GREAT JOB IMPLEMENTING AB
ONE EIGHTEEN WHICH REQUIRES IN
THE STATUTE. THAT THE COMMISSION
FUND A PORTFOLIO APPROACH THAT
MAXIMIZES GREENHOUSE GAS AND AIR
QUALITY REDUCTIONS.
BIOGAS MADE FROM ORGANIC WASTE
IS THE ONLY CARBON NEGATIVE FUEL
SO TO SAY THAT NONE OF THE MONEY.
IS GOING TO GO TO THE SINGLE
LOWEST CARBON FUEL THAT HELPS
REDUCE SHORT LIVED CLIMATE
POLLUTANTS AND IGNORES THE BASS
MAJORITY THE VEHICLES THAT WILL
BE ON THE ROAD. IN TWENTY THIRTY
WHERE THE ONLY OPTION TO BRING
DOWN POLLUTION AND SORT F KIND
OF POLLUTANTS IT IS INCREASED
BIOFUELS FUNDED EARLY SOME
BIOFUELS FUNNY. IT MAKES NO
SENSE WE'RE PUTTING ALL OF OUR
EGGS INTO A LIMITED BASKET WE
SHOULD CONTINUE TO FUND A
PORTFOLIO AS THE CDC HAS DONE.
FOR MORE THAN A DECADE AND DONE
WELL.
THANK YOU MAX.
GOOD AFTERNOON COMMITTEE TOM'S
LAWSON CALIFORNIA TO GAS VEHICLE
COALITION BY I'M NOT GOING TO.
REPEAT WHAT ARGUMENT SAD BUT
WE DO A LINE OUR COMMENTS WILL
DEFER TO PREVIOUS SPEAKERS I
WILL ADD THAT I THINK THE ONE OF
THE INTERESTING POINTS ABOUT AB
ONE TEAM PROGRAM IN THE REASON
WHY IT WAS.
EXTENDED ITS BECAUSE IT HAS
BROUGHT TOGETHER A WIDE VARIETY
OF STAKEHOLDERS BECAUSE IT IS
FOR ALTERNATIVE FUELS AND BY
BREAKING UP THAT COALITION BY
FORCE FOCUSING ON ONE PARTICULAR
TECHNOLOGY. I THINK IS NOT
NECESSARILY IN THE VIEW OF WHAT
THE STATE WANTS TO DO. I BELIEVE
THAT WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON
LIGHT DUTY IN AND OUR MAIN
CONCERN IS THAT THERE OFFICE.
ALSO NEEDS TO BE X. SOMEWHERE
VOCUS ON A HEAVY DUTY VEHICLES
BECAUSE WE KNOW.
THAT THEY DEFTLY GET NOW
EXPONENTIALLY THE MOST
REDUCTIONS BUT SO WE'RE HAVING
THIS CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO DO IN THE LIGHT
DE SECTOR WHILE I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT. BY SHIFTING MONEY
THAT'S HELPING CLEAN UP TO HAVE
A DRINK SECTOR AND THAT'S WHAT
ONE OF THE FARM ONE OF THE
FUNCTIONS OF THIS PROGRAM. DOES
THAT.
IS I THINK USES SUSAN IS NOT
THE WAY TO GO I I BELIEVE I'M A
HOT PERCENT CONFIDENT THE
CALIFORNIA CAN WALK INTO COME AT
THE SAME TIME THAT WE CAN FOCUS
ON CLEAN UP LIGHT DUTY. BUT ALSO
GET SOME OF THE HEAVY DUTIES ON
THE ROW CLEANERS WELL I THINK IF
YOU.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS JOSH
PAWN AND WE HAVE THE CALIFORNIA
REFUSE RECYCLING COUNCIL.
I'VE WE HAVE TWENTY MILLION TONS
OF ORGANICS TO GET OUT OF THE
LANDFILL BY TWENTY TWENTY FIVE.
WHAT THE PREVIOUS SPEAKERS HAVE
SAID WE WOULD LIKE SOME
SENSITIVITY TO ON THESE TYPES OF
GASES WE APPRECIATE WHAT THE
STAFF IS TRYING TO DO? BUT WE'D
LIKE YOU TO RECOGNIZE. THAT THE
LAWS THAT WE'VE ALL WORKED
TOWARD AYE THIRTEEN EIGHTY THREE
MOST RECENTLY AND TWENTY SIXTEEN.
PUTS A BURDEN ON OUR ICE THE
CITIES ARE SECTOR TO GET TWENTY
MILLION TIMES OUT OF THE
LANDFILLS WE NEED A LOT OF
MARKETS FOR THAT.
I THIS WOULD CLOSE THINGS DOWN
INTO ONE VERY SMALL GAPS THAT WE
APPRECIATE YOU KEEPING THE ITEM
OPEN MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
AND HAVE FURTHER CONVERSATIONS.
THANK YOU.
CENTER STERN.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
.
COUPLE QUICK QUESTIONS I I WAS
ACTUALLY PART OF THE.
AB EIGHT PASSAGE.
THAT PRE ESTABLISHED AREA FREE
T. PIECE ON INSENSITIVE SOME OF
THE.
CONCERNS RAISED. SPECIAL
INTERNAL LIQUID FUEL SIDE
INDUSTRY.
BUT WE'RE TRYING TO MIXED POT
HERE TOO SO I JUST WANTED SORT
OF HONE ON TO ISSUES AND GET SEE
SEIZE TAKEN ALSO LA DOES TAKE SO.
.
THAT'S THAT'S JUST RIGHT OFF THE
A RF BTP CHUNK FIRST AND THEN I
WANT TO SHIFT AND S. H. P. SO.
OVERALL STRATEGY FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PERSPECTIVE ON
THE INCENTIVE SIDE IN LIQUID
FUELS ARE THERE THINGS THAT ARE
GOING ON THAT ARE NOT IN HERE.
ISN'T JUST HE WAS A SORT OF
LITTLE JUST STEP BACK SASS OF
WHAT'S GOING ON ONLY COULD USE
THAT OTHER THAN JUST THE
REGULATORY.
PUSH ON L. CFS AND YEAH NO I
APPRECIATE THAT.
YOU KNOW FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE
BIOFUELS ARE REALLY IMPORTANT
PART OF THE STATE STRATEGY TO
REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
FROM THE TRANSPORTATION IN THE
SHORT TERM. ON YOU KNOW THEY
REALLY.
CAN REPLACE COMBATIVE FUELS AND
CONVENTIONAL VEHICLES SO THAT ON
SHORT TERM IT MAKES A LOT OF
SENSE BUT. ON IN TERMS OF LONG
TERM WE FEEL THAT CALIFORNIA
REALLY NEEDS.
A STRATEGY THAT IT AND GOES TO
TWO ZERO EMISSION. ON IN TERMS
OF TIME RECEIVING THEIR MONEY
GOING YEAH AND.
YEAH YEAH SO AIR FTTP IT HAS
HISTORICALLY BEEN ONE SOURCE OF
FUNDING THIS PROPOSAL ON
PROPOSES TWENTY FIVE MILLION
FROM G. GIRAFFE TO CONTINUE FOR
NEXT YEAR TO GO TO.
LIQUID FUELS ON IN ADDITION TO
THAT AND THERE'S ALSO OF COURSE
THAT YOU MENTION THE LOOK
CARBONS FUEL STANDARD PROGRAM
WHICH PROVIDES A AND FUNDING
SOURCES FOR THE INDUSTRY. BUT
ALSO OTHER STATE PROGRAMS THAT
PROVIDE FUNDING BOND TO SUPPORT
THIS INDUSTRY. ON THE ELECTRIC
PROGRAM INVESTMENT HARGE IS ONE
EXAMPLE IN ADDITION TO THAT CDF
DAYS DURING DIE JUST TO RESEARCH
AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. AND CAL
RECYCLES ORGANIC GRANT PROGRAM
AND AND THEN ON THE CALIFORNIA
AIR RESOURCES BOARD ONTO THEIR
EIGHT H. BUT PROGRAM ALSO OFFERS
SOME FINDINGS FOR FOR VEHICLES.
AND ALSO IMAGINE THERE'S ALSO
FEDERAL MONEY THAT'S AVAILABLE
THROUGH THE RENEWABLES.
FUEL STANDARD AS WELL THAT
PROVIDES A FEE OF FUEL.
I'M SORRY A REVENUE SOURCE FOR
FOR THIS INDUSTRY.
SO.
JUST AT THAT SPLIT SHIFT AD IS
VERY BRIEFLY.
.
ON AN S. H. P. SIDE IN SO.
THERE'S ANOTHER CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT STATEWIDE GOLD THE
CARBON AS IN THE BUILDING SECTOR.
.
WHAT IF WE'RE GOING TO EMPTY OUT
THAT WHOLE ACCOUNT AND TAKE THE
FOOT OFF OUR PETS DEPEND ON
BUILDING SIGN PUSH IT ON DESERVE
INFRASTRUCTURE? WHAT ELSE IS THE
STATE DOING ON THE PIANO ON D.
CARBON I THINK IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ON FIRST
THE NEW SOLAR HOMES PARTNERSHIP
PROGRAM IS STATURE TO THERE'S A
STATUTORY SUNSET DATE? ON THE
ENCUMBRANCE PERIOD IS THE SUMMER
THE PROGRAM ITSELF ENDS IN
TWENTY TWENTY ONE. AND SO THESE
THESE.
THAT'S PROPOSAL REALLY AIMS TO
TAKE THE MONIES THAT ARE LEFT
OVER FROM THAT PROGRAM.
IN TERMS OF AND.
WHERE THE SOLAR INDUSTRY IS IN
TERMS OF ROOFTOP SOLAR AND
HONEST EACH P. WHICH IS PART OF
CALIFORNIA SOLAR AND THE
INITIATIVE?
HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL ON THAT
WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ESSENTIALLY
TEACH BUILDERS HOW TO PUT POWER
PLANTS ON HOUSES WHICH IS NOT
TRIVIAL BIT BUILDING THAT.
UNDERSTANDING WITHIN THE
INDUSTRY AND AS A RESULT WE'VE
GOTTEN TO A POINT NOW WHERE
PEOPLE ARE PURSUING SOLAR
WITHOUT INCENTIVES. AND IN FACT
THIS MONTH THE ENERGY COMMISSION
WILL BE HEARING AN ITEM AND
VOTING ON I'M ACTUALLY MOVING
FORWARD THE TWO THOUSAND
NINETEEN BUILDING ENERGY
EFFICIENCY STANDARDS. TO INCLUDE
SOLAR AS A REQUIREMENT
AND SO I THINK WE'VE ACTUALLY
FOLLOWED THE OF REALLY GOOD
TRAJECTORY IN TERMS OF CREATING
THIS MARKET STARTING WITH
INCENTIVES SUPPORTING IT AND
THEN TRANSITIONING TO A
REQUIREMENT ON. SO I I THINK
THAT WE ON THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN
SUCCESSFUL AND IT'S TIME FOR US
TO TRANSITION.
AND SO ELLIOTT IF COMMENTS ON
THE SORT OF THE BOUNCY
ADMINISTRATION STORE THE REGION
HEARING THAT'S GOING ON HERE AND
SORT OF.
ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR US AND
WE'RE GONNA BE HOLD THE ITEM
OPEN THE DATES WHEN TO GET A
SENSE YEAH I MEAN I I THINK
COOLEY WE RAISE SOME ISSUES
SYSTEM NATIONALLY A MINUTE SO
IT'S REALLY I THINK KIND OF HARD
TO SAY KIND OF HOW TO.
YEAH HOW TO SPLIT UP THESE
DIFFERENT.
PRIORITIES AND KIND OF WHERE TO
PUT THE MONEY.
ME CERTAINLY THE ADMINISTRATION
IS MAKING A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT
SHIFT AND FOCUSING ON.
ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND YOU KNOW
PERHAPS AT THE RISK OF SOME OF
THESE OTHER.
OTHER TYPES OF FUELS AND SO
THAT'S JUST A POLICY DECISION
THAT THE LEGISLATURE.
SHOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH
BEFORE THEY ADOPT THE
ADMINISTRATION'S APPROACH.
I DO WANNA ADD JUST ONE OTHER.
PROGRAM THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO
KEEP IN MIND ON THE BIO FUEL
SIDE KIND OF FINDS ITS WAY
THROUGH THE TAX SYSTEM KATE FOR.
HAZARD AND OF SALES TAX
EXCLUSION PROGRAM FOR CERTAIN
TYPES OF EQUIPMENTS WHICH IT
MIGHT NOT BE AS SIGNIFICANT
DOLLAR WISE OF SOME OF THESE
OTHER PROGRAMS WHICH IS SORT OF
ANOTHER ONE TO KEEP IN MIND AS
WELL.
TOOK DINNER JUST A VERY QUICK
COMMENT THEN ON THE SOARED OVER
A LANDSCAPE HERE I WOULD I WOULD
URGE YOU TO CONSIDER THE ENERGY
COMMISSION OR TO BEHOLD THE
SODIUM.
ITEM OPEN BUT.
WHEN IT COMES THE HEAVY DUTY
SECTOR. DROP IN RENEWABLE DIESEL
SOME EXCITING WORK GOING ON IN
STATE REFINING. WORKING ON THE
JET FUEL SIDE OF THINGS RAISING
REALLY EXCITING PROGRESS I THINK
GETTING MADE IN A WAY THAT. IS
NOT A LIGHT DUTY APPLICATION BUT
I WORRY ABOUT THE HEAVY DUTY AND
THE INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS IN
THOSE SORT OF FREIGHT SECTOR.
GET LEFT BEHIND FOR JUST ON
LIGHT DUTIES HAVE SO URGENT IS
SORT OF.
JUST GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT AND.
WE DON'T LEAVE THOSE INDUSTRIES
BEHIND ON ANY CHP AYE AYE.
I WOULD JUST SAY I THINK WE'RE
EVOLVING BEYOND JUST A SOLAR
FOCUS AND I LIKE WHERE THE
ENERGY COMMISSION'S HEADING ON
THE STANDARD SIDE BUT. THAT
ISN'T THE ONLY ASPECT DE
CARBONIZED IN THE BUILDING
SECTOR AND SO WHAT I'M CONCERNED
ABOUT IS THAT. IF WE ZERO OUT
THAT ACCOUNT.
ALL THE ELECTRIC HEAT PUMP
WORKING GOING ON ALL THE THER
SORT OF WAYS TO REDUCE LONG TERM
ONGOING COSTS OF OUR NEW HOUSING
FLEET SPECIALLY WILL ON THEIR
GAS BILLS.
WE'VE DONE A LOT ON THE
ELECTRIC SIDE BUT ON THE GAS
SIDE WE REALLY HAVEN'T DONE AS
MUCH TO TO MAKE SURE DEVELOPERS
HAVE THE INCENTIVES THEY NEED SO.
I'M GONNA BE ADVOCATING FOR
THAT SORT OF SOME KIND OF
PRIORITIZATION THERE THERE MAY
BE OTHER POTS TO BUT I THINK
THAT WE NEED TO RIGHT SIZE THIS
IN AND FIND ANALYTICAL WAY TO
REALLY MATCH UP.
THE CARROTS AND STICKS HERE
DIVERTED ME PUSHING THE INDUSTRY
TO GO HARDER AND HARDER ON LC A
FAST WE WANT SOMETHING THERE FOR
ANY PUSH THEM ON BUILDING
STANDARDS WE NEED THE CARE IT
THERE. AND I WOULD JUST SAY FOR
THE ZEV SIDE.
IF IN WASHINGTON DC. THEY'RE
GOING TO UNDERCUT CALIFORNIA'S
CLEAN AIR ACT STANDARDS OF THE
AUTOMAKERS ARE EITHER GOING TO
CONTRIBUTE TO THAT. OR TO STAND
IDLY BY AND ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN
I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE
APPROPRIATING HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM
CALIFORNIA RATEPAYERS JUST TO
HAVE THEM TURN AROUND. AND AND
CUT OUR KNEES OFTEN WASHINGTON
SO I THINK WE'VE GOT A MONITOR
THAT ISSUE VERY CLOSELY HERE.
AND AGAIN.
GET GET THE CARROTS THERE BUT.
BUT AGAIN IF THEY TAKE OUR
STICK AWAY FROM US.
.
IT IT IT I WOULD IMAGINE IT
WOULD DRY UP.
THE LEGISLATURE'S GENEROSITY
LEASE ON THAT FRONT I HOPE THE
ADMINISTRATION WOULD CONSIDER
THE SAME SO THANK YOU FOR THE
INDULGENCE BY STRIKING AND. WE
MET ONE OR MAKE A PHONE CALL TO
ENERGY I MEAN I KNOW ENRON POSES
SUMS CHARGING STATIONS FROM THE
LAST ENERGY CRISIS WE HAVE FOUR
PROBABLY SET NINE EIGHTEEN YEARS
ON THAT AGREEMENT I'VE. I HAVE
WE HAVEN'T HEARD AN UPDATE ON
HOW.
THE LOSE.
THOSE SET THAT INFRASTRUCTURE AS
WELL AS VOLKSWAGENS
INFRASTRUCTURE IS WELL AS THE I
USE.
STRUCTURE AS WELL AS THE PRIVATE
SECTORS INFRASTRUCTURE IS ALL
COMING TOGETHER IN A BEAUTIFUL
SYMPHONY.
BUT WITH THAT WE WILL KEEP THE
MATTER OPEN LET'S GO TO ITEM
NUMBER TWO.
BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY
COMPLIANCE.
.
FOR YOU SPRING FINANCE LETTER.
THANK YOU AND SO ON FOR THIS
ITEM THE ENERGY COMMISSION IS
COMMITTED.
REQUESTING ONE POINT FIVE
MILLION AND BE SIGNED CONTRACT
AUTHORITY ON FOR THE CONTINUED
AT ENHANCEMENT MAINTENANCE AND
SUPPORT OF OUR RESIDENTIAL AND
NON RESIDENTIAL. BUILDING ENERGY
EFFICIENCY STANDARDS COMPLIANT
SOFTWARE.
SO STATUTE DRECK THE ENERGY
COMMISSION TO DEVELOP BUILDING
ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS AND
THEN ALSO TO AND SUPPORT THEM.
WITH THE IMPORTANT
IMPLEMENTATION BY DEVELOPING
PUBLIC DOMAIN COMPLIANT SOFTWARE.
HISTORICALLY WE HAVE RELIED ON
THIRD PARTY VENDORS TO MAINTAIN
AND SUPPORT THE SOFTWARE ON BUT
WHEN THAT WAS OCCURRING IT WAS
ESSENTIALLY CREATING ON EVENNESS
AND AMONG THE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS
BEING PROVIDED. ON WHICH WAS
CREATING AN A ON EVEN PLAYING
FIELD FOR A LOT OF THE THE
BUILDERS WHO HAD TO COMPLY WAS
ALSO LIMITING THE ENERGY
COMMISSION'S ABILITY TO.
THE PACE OF ON STANDARDS
DEVELOPMENT SO A TWO THOUSAND
AND THIRTEEN WE TRANSITIONED TO
A SINGULAR.
INTEGRATED PLATFORM.
FOR THE SOFTWARE AND SINCE THAT
TIME WE HAVE BEEN RELYING ON
ASSIGNMENT TWO MILLION DOLLARS
OF TECHNICAL SUPPORT. A CONTRACT
FUNDING IN ORDER TO SUPPORT BOTH
THE DEVELOPMENT OF STANDARDS AS
WELL AS TO SUPPORT THE COMPLIANT
SOFTWARE. AND AS A RESULT OF
THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME
STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT WORK THAT
HAS BEEN ON THE DEFERRED.
IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
THE SOFTWARE ON TO HELP WITH
COMPLIANCE TO A REQUEST TODAY IS
TO AUGMENT THE FUNDING TO
SUPPORT THIS PROGRAM. ON IN
ORDER FOR US TO CONTINUE TO
ADVANCE ON BUILDING STANDARDS IN
A WAY TO MEET OUR ARE PRETTY
AMBITIOUS GOALS.
ARAB AMERICANS ARE.
NO CONCERNS. ABOUT PUBLIC
EDUCATION ON THE.
ABOUT THAT.
THIS IS ISSUE NUMBER THREE
BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY
COMPLIANCE WERE GOING UP. GOING
TO OPEN UP PUBLIC HEARING.
ANYONE HERE FROM THE PUBLIC
COMMENT ON THAT THE STAFF
RECOMMENDATION IS TO APPROVE IS.
OPPOSE THEM
THERE'S A MOTION BY SENATE
MCGUIRE. CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
WIECKOWSKI AYE NIELSEN.
MCGUIRE.
STERN.
RIGHT THAT PASSES THREE TO ONE
LET'S MOVE ON TO THE LAST MAN TO
BE PUT THE ENERGY COMMISSION.
YOUR SPRING FINANCE LETTER ON.
THE ELECTRIC PROGRAM INVESTMENT
CHARGE RATES OF THIS REQUEST.
IS OF A TWO PART THE FIRST PART
IS TO INCREASE BASELINE
EXPENDITURE AUTHORITY ON A BY
ABOUT TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS
THIS IS IN LINE THAT WAS. ON THE
FUNDING INCREASE APPROVED AND
DIRECTED BY THE CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION AND
IN THIS AMOUNT REPRESENTS
INFLATION ESCALATION ON IN THE
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX FOR THE ON
AT THAT PROGRAM. THE SECOND PART
OF THE REQUEST IS TO CONVERT A
EXISTING TECH SUPPORT CONTRACT
FUNDING TO FOR PERMANENT.
PY IN ORDER TO HELP WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION OF THE EXPANSION
OF THIS PROGRAM.
LAUP. FILE
LET'S OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING
THIS IS CONVERSION OF FOR
CONSULTING POSITIONS FOR
PERMANENT POSITIONS.
WITH THE EPIC PROGRAM.
QUESTIONS MEMBERS.
GENERAL FUND NIELSEN.
SMALL NUMBER OF PEOPLE EITHER
LOVE BIG JUSTIFICATION FOR THE
FOUR PEOPLE LYFT.
SO BECAUSE THE.
AMOUNT OF EPIC MONIES THAT WE
HAVE TO DISTRIBUTE IS INCREASING.
THE WORK INCREASES AND SO WE
ANTICIPATE THAT WITH THE TWELVE
A ROUGHLY TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS
IN PROGRAM FUNDS AND THEY'LL BE
AROUND FIFTY MORE AGREEMENT SO
THE WORK THAT GOES INTO THIS
INCLUDES. I'M DOING THE RESEARCH
ON TECHNOLOGY AVAILABILITY ON.
CREATING COMPETITIVE
SOLICITATIONS SCORING THIS
PROPOSALS MANAGING THE CONTRACTS
MAKING SURE THAT THE WORK IS
SHARED WITH THE PUBLIC AND SO
THERE'S A WHOLE HOST OF WORK
THAT GOES ALONG WITH THE
INCREASED FUNDING. IN ADDITION
TO THAT FUNDS WERE ALSO WANTING
TO FOCUS MORE ON MAKING SURE
THAT THE RESEARCH THAT WE DO
ADAM AND THE THE TECHNOLOGIES
THAT ARE DEVELOPED ARE BETTER
TRANSFERRED TO MARKET.
WE ACTUALLY HAD A INDEPENDENT ON
PROGRAM EVALUATOR RECENTLY
EVALUATE OUR PROGRAM AND SUGGEST
AS MUCH SO THIS IS ALSO PART OF
WHAT. ON WE WOULD LIKE THESE
POSITIONS TO FOCUS ON.
THEY CAN THANK YOU.
AN EXCITING TIME WITH THE THIRD
HEARD THAT THIRD TRIENNIAL HE'D
HAVE.
ADVANCEMENT PLANNED.
.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS TO PROVE
IS PHONE. UP PROPOSES MOST BY
SENATE REQUIRE PLEASE CALL ROLL.
WIECKOWSKI AYE. NIELSEN.
MCGUIRE.
STERN.
THAT MATTER PASSES THROUGH THE
ONE THING BICU. ENERGY
COMMISSION OKAY. LET'S CALL UP
THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION.
WE HAVE A.
WE HAVE A VARIETY OF MATTERS
THAT FIRST WE'RE JUST HAPPENED
ISSUE NUMBER ONE.
IS THE LEAST SO CANYON UPDATE.
ON IT. NO ACTION IS NEEDED.
COMMISSIONER RANDALL GOOD
AFTERNOON.
THIS ISN'T SOME OF IT.
WELL.
WE HAVE A NEW TITLE.
IT HAPPENS. PERIODICALLY.
GOOD AFTERNOON SHARON MEMBERS ON
MY NAME IS ALEX STEDMAN SO I AM
THE NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR
THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION.
.
SO THIS FIRST ITEM IS AN
INFORMATIONAL ITEM ON A LEASE SO
CANYON.
SO ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT AT THE
SPEED AT THE CPUC DURING NEARLY
SO CANYON GAS LEAK I FOLLOWED IT
CLOSELY AND I'M AWARE OF THE
IMPACT IT HAS HAD.
AND CONTINUES TO HAVE ON THE
PORTER RANCH COMMUNITY THE
SURROUNDING AREAS AND THE
GREATER REGION.
SINCE OCTOBER TWO THOUSAND
FIFTEEN THE CPUC HAS WORKED
INTERNALLY. AND WITH OTHER STATE
AND FEDERAL AGENCIES ON THE NEW
PROTOCOLS AND ADDITIONAL LAYERS
OF SAFETY PROTECTIONS TO ENSURE
SAFETY AND RELIABILITY.
WE HAVE WORKED DILIGENTLY TO
LEARN FROM THIS EXPERIENCE AND
HAVE BEEN COLLABORATING CLOSELY
WITH STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING
COMMUNITY MEMBERS SO THAT
THERE'S TRANSPARENCY IN OUR
PROCESS.
WE HAVE A WEB PAGE DEDICATED TO
LISA RELATED ACTIVITIES WE HOLD
PUBLIC WORKSHOPS AND WE
REGULARLY MEET WITH COMMUNITY
MEMBERS.
FURTHER THE P. YOU SEE HAS
ADOPTED MEASURES TO HELP
MITIGATE RELIABILITY RISKS FROM
A LOSS OF A LEASE SO BY REDUCING
DEMAND.
THESE EFFORTS INCLUDE TARGETED
EFFORTS AND LEASE SO IMPACTED
REGIONS.
PRIORITIZE IN AN EXHILARATING
ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECTS.
TARGETED DEPLOYMENT OF ENERGY
SAVINGS ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS.
INCREASED INCENTIVES FOR THE
CALIFORNIA SOLAR THERMAL PROGRAM.
DEMAND RESPONSE INCLUDING THE
PILOT IN FIRST OF THEIR KIND GAP.
EXCUSE ME. FIRST OF THEIR KIND
GAS DEMAND RESPONSE PROGRAMS AND
EXHILARATED DEPLOYMENT OF ENERGY
STORAGE.
OVER FORTY DISTINCT DEMAND SIDE
MITIGATION MEASURES HAVE BEEN
IMPLEMENTED TODAY.
THE P. CPUC IS ALSO LOOKING AT
OUR LONG TERM RELIANCE ON
NATURAL GAS.
IN DECEMBER WE URGE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY TO STRONGLY CONSIDER
ADOPTING A MORATORIUM ON NEW
CONNECTION
FOR GAS SERVICE IN THE AREAS. OF
LOS ANGELES COUNTY SERVED BY
LISA CANYON.
BY ENACTING A MORATORIUM ON NEW
CONNECTIONS THIS WOULD ALLEVIATE
ANY INCREASING DEMAND FOR
NATURAL GAS RESIDENTIAL.
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
CUSTOMERS TO AVOID FURTHER
CURTAILMENT TO EXISTING
CUSTOMERS.
AS WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON
BALANCING RELIABILITY SAFETY IN
OUR LONG TERM GOALS ARE
ENCOURAGE YOUR FEEDBACK
ENGAGEMENT. AND WELCOME SUPPORT
FOR OUR EFFORTS.
I WILL NOW PASSWORD AT RANDOLPH
DIRECTOR OF THE ENERGY DIVISION
AND MARIAM AB KEY THE DEPUTY
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SAFETY WHO
CAN GO OVER GREAT IN GREATER
DETAIL ON KEY ACTIVITIES.
GOING ON. IN MY APOLOGIES RATHER.
DIRECTOR SEVEN SEVEN. WELCOME TO
THE CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE
THANK YOU REACH OUT.
I.
GOOD AFTERNOON SENATORS THANK
YOU I'M EDWARD RANDOLPH DIRECTOR
OF THE ENERGY DIVISION OF THE
CAL.
UTILITIES COMMISSION
I'M JUST REAL QUICKLY.
AN UPDATE IN A REVIEW OF
ACTIONS THAT THE COMMISSION HAS
TAKEN ALONG WITH OUR SISTER
AGENCIES.
ON TO ENSURE RELIABILITY IN THE
REGION
THE LEAK.
.
YOU KNOW FIRST TIME AND SHORTLY
AFTER ON THERE IS A
DETERMINATION THAT SO CUT GASKET
BEGAN INJECTING GAS IN THE FIELD
AGAIN HE SAID IT STORAGE CAPACITY
LIMIT ON THE FIELD OF OUR TWENTY
FOUR POINT SIX BILLION CUBIC
FEET.
TO PUT THAT IN CONTEXT THE
FIELD PRIOR TO DELETE NAM HAD A
CAPACITY OF EIGHTY THREE BILLION
KEEP.
ON SO MUCH REDUCED.
MAX ON STORAGE CAPACITY LOW ON
THE FIELD ON WE ESTABLISHED
WITHDRAWAL PROTOCOLS THAT.
IN THE SIMPLEST TERMS SAY YOU
CAN USE A WE SO CANYON ONLY AS A
LAST RESORT AFTER UTILIZING
OTHER STORAGE FIELDS ON AND
TAKING OTHER MITIGATION MEASURES
TO REDUCE DEMAND ON PEAK DAYS.
BUT THE GUY PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION ALONG WITH HER SISTER
AGENCIES
TENURE ONLY MONITOR RELIABILITY
ISSUES IN
IN CALIFORNIA.
WE HAVE.
DEPENDING UPON THE SEASON
WEEKLY OR BI WEEKLY PHONE CALLS.
I'M WITH THE OTHER AGENCIES TO
DISCUSS ISSUES RELATED TO BOTH
ELECTRIC AND GAS RELIABILITY. ON
IN THE AREA. AND FOR THE LAST
THREE YEARS WE'VE PREPARED.
BOTH A WINTER AND SUMMER
TECHNICAL ASSESSMENT
ON TO LOOK AT AND SYSTEM
RELIABILITY ISSUES GOING FORWARD
IN THE NEXT SEASON. PROBLEM WE
WILL BE RELEASING A SUMMER
ASSESSMENT FOR TWO THOUSAND
EIGHTEEN NEXT MONDAY AND HAVE A
WORKSHOP TO DISCUSS THAT SUMMER
ASSESSMENT ALONG WITH THE I CC.
HI THE CAL I SO ON AND LADWP
THE AND THE LOS ANGELES AREA ON
TO
STAY.
AND WE WILL ALSO SHORTLY BE
UPDATING THAT WHAT IS REFERRED
TO IS THE.
AT SEVEN FIFTEEN REPORT WHICH
IS THE CODE SECTION REQUIRES EPA
YOU SEE TO SET THE MAXIMUM
ALLOWABLE.
STORAGE IN THE FIELD NEEDED FOR
RELIABILITY.
WE AFTER EACH TECHNICAL.
S. OUT REVIEW THE SEVEN FIFTEEN
REPORT FIVE TE.
TODAY.
TO TIE THE ALLOWABLE AMOUNT THE
FIELD TO THE FINDINGS IN THE
REPORT. I'M AND THEN FINALLY
WE'RE WORKING ON A REVIEW OF.
LAST WINTER THERE WAS EXTEND
THE COLD SNAP AND OF.
CALIFORNIA AT THE END OF MARCH.
AND AND THAT DID LEAD TO SIX
DAYS OF WITHDRAWALS.
OF GAS RELEASE OF CANYON.
WE ARE LOOKING IN DEPTH AT
SOCAL GASES
PRIME TIME ACTIONS AND THEIR
MANAGEMENT OF THE ENTIRE FIELD
TO SEE.
ON TO MAKE SURE THEY ACTED
CONSISTENT WITH THE PROTOCOLS
BUT ALSO I THINK MORE
IMPORTANTLY ON TO LOOK AT
FURTHER MITIGATION MEASURES
FURTHER EFFORTS CAN BE WORKED ON.
TAKEN DOWN THE LINE TO MAKE SURE
THE SYSTEM.
RELIABILITY IS MAINTAINED WITH
MINIMUM YOU SEE GENERALLY SO
CANYON.
ANOTHER UPDATE IN THERE IS
REQUIRED BY STATUTE THAT THE
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OPEN
UP
EATING.
TO LOOK AT THE LONG TERM
VIABILITY OF THE LISA CANYON
I'M THAT PROCEEDING WAS OPEN AND.
INTO THOUSANDS.
UNFORTUNATELY IT WE'RE WELL
BEHIND THE ORIGINAL
ONLINE LINK OUT LAID OUT
KNAPPER'S.
IT'S ONE OF THAT PROCEEDING WAS
GOING TO AND WILL BE LOOKING AT.
MODELING.
SYSTEM.
TO SET THE BASELINE OF OPTIONS
THAT COULD BE PURSUED.
ON ALTERNATIVES TO RELEASE SO I
DO DO I STATE CONTRACTING RULES
ON WE'VE BEEN GREATLY DELAYED
AND CONTRACTING WITH CONSULTANTS
WE NEED TO DO. WHAT'S CALLED
HYDRAULIC MODELING OF THE GAS
SYSTEM.
AND ECONOMIC MODELING.
EVENTUALLY WE DETERMINED THAT
WE COULD BRING THE ECONOMIC
MODELLING AND HOUSE.
AND NOW HAVE A CONTRACT WITH.
ARE THE NATIONAL LABS TO HELP
OVERSEE THE THE MODELING.
OF THE HYDRAULIC MODEL IN PA
BUT THERE'S STILL SOME CONCERNS
RAISED BY STAKEHOLDERS IN THAT
PROCEEDING ON THAT BUT WE ARE
MOVING FORWARD THERE.
GOOD AFTERNOON MERRIAM AT KEY
DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
PC I JUST WANNA GIVE YOU A BRIEF
UPDATE ON THE INVESTIGATIONS. ON
THEIR THREE PARALLEL
INVESTIGATIONS THAT ARE UNDER
WAY.
FIRST ONE IS BLADE ENERGY WHICH
IS CONDUCTING AN INDEPENDENT
ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS OF THE
OCTOBER TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN GAS
LEAK.
HOW THE CPUC AND DARKER HAVE
BEEN FACILITATING BLADES OF WORK
AND THE FIELD RELATED TO DATA
COLLECTION EXTRACTION AND
EXAMINATION OF THE EVIDENCE?
THE STEPS INCLUDE ESTABLISHING
COMPLEX PROTOCOLS WAR PLANS AND
OPERATIONS AND REQUIRED CLOSE
COORDINATION AND COOPERATION
BETWEEN THE AUTHOR. BELIEVED
CPUC AND OPERATOR.
DECEIVE AND DOG ARE ALSO
CONDUCTING THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT
INVESTIGATION BLADE IS EXPECTED
TO COMPLETE ITS ANALYSIS.
BY NOVEMBER OF TWO THOUSAND
EIGHTEEN RIGHT NOW DURING THE
PHASE THAT THEY ARE FINISHING
SOME OF THE OR DOING SOME OF THE
TESTING IN THE LAPS.
AFTER THAT THEY WILL FINISH
THERE. IS ANALYSIS OF THAT IN BY
NOVEMBER OF TWO THOUSAND
EIGHTEEN. AND THE RESULT OF THAT
OF.
OR CA HOPEFULLY WILL INFORM
BOTH IF YOU SEE AND DOCKERS
INVESTIGATIONS.
I WILL YOU HAVE A.
ANY OTHER UPDATES FROM YOUR END
OF LET'S.
THANK YOU THANK FAIRFIELD STERN
QUESTION.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN THANKS
TO THE PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION FOR COMING IN.
.
IT'S BEEN AWHILE.
SINCE
THE WINTER OF TWENTY FIFTEEN AND
WE STILL DON'T HAVE ANSWERS AND
I GOTTA SAY.
DESPITE ALL OF THE HARD WORK I
KNOW THAT'S GOING ON A LOT
PEOPLE FRUSTRATED IN THE
COMMUNITY.
WHEN WE HAVE THE OROVILLE DAM
FAIL AND WE GO THROUGH A PROCESS
TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED
THERE AND GET TO THE ROOT CAUSE.
WAS DETERMINED.
BELIEVE WITHIN LESS THAN A YEAR
MATTER OF MONTHS.
P. JEANIE SAN BRUNO DISASTER.
RATEPAYERS STAKEHOLDERS
UP RESIDENTS KNEW WHAT HAPPENED
AND WE COULD ACTUALLY LEARN FROM.
THOSE MISTAKES AND FIND A WAY TO
MOVE FORWARD AND YET. WE'RE HERE
IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN AND WE STILL
HAVE NOTHING TO TELL THE PUBLIC
ABOUT WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED AT
LEAST OF CANYON AND YET WHEN I
HEARD FROM DIRECTOR RANDOLPH IS
NOW IS THAT. YOUR PROCEEDING.
THERE IS A DECISION TO ALLOW
FURTHER INJECTION.
WHICH IN MY VIEW WITHOUT
EXHAUSTING THE ACTUAL PROTOCOL
REQUIREMENTS.
WHICH SAID THAT YOU NEEDED TO
LOOK AT ALL THE ALTERNATIVES
EXHAUST ALL DEMAND RESPONSE
ANOTHER FEASIBLE MEASURES. AND
I'D STILL LIKE TO KNOW FROM THE
VOTED UTILITIES COMMISSION
WHETHER YOU HAVE ANY
DOCUMENTATION TO JUSTIFY THAT
DECISION.
TO ALLOW FURTHER INJECTIONS.
DURING THAT COLD SNAP BECAUSE I
DIDN'T SEE DOCUMENTATION
SUBMITTED
IT SHOWED. THAT WE WE WENT
THROUGH THIS IN THE PAST HEARING
AND STILL DON'T FEEL LIKE I'VE
HAD SATISFACTORY ANSWERS THAT.
THERE WAS ANYTHING DONE TO.
ON THE DEMAND RESPONSE SIDE.
I THINK YOU'RE SOME
COORDINATION ON BALANCING IN THE
BASIN.
BUT BUT THERE IS NO ONE'S
PROVIDED ANY HAVE METRICS FOR
DOLLARS EXPENDED OR ANY
PREPARATORY EFFORTS EITHER AMONG
CORE CUSTOMERS.
OR BY THE GAS COMPANY THEMSELVES
TO PREPARE FOR WHAT WE KNEW WAS
GOING TO BE A COLD WINTER TAX
SURPRISE WHEN IT GETS COLD IN
THE WINTER TIME TO ME SEEMS.
LIKE A FALL SURPRISE SO I WANTED.
TO AGAIN ASK WHAT THE STATUS WAS
OF THREE JUSTIFYING THAT
INJECTION.
.
IN THIS ORDER CURRENT YOU KNOW
IF THOSE WITHDRAWAL PROTOCOLS
ARE GONNA BE FALL IN THE FUTURE
THE OTHER THING I WANT TO BRING
US LET'S SEPARATE MUSTY THAT GOT
WORSE WHEN I GOOD RESPONSE WE
CAN. GET SOME OF US WILL HAVE
PROBLEMS FOLLOWING IT ALSO COMES
SO. YOU HAD TO THE QUESTIONS OF
WHAT PROTOCOLS IF THE PROTOCOLS
WERE FOLLOWED.
BEFORE WITHDRAWALS WERE TAKEN
ON THE I DO RESPECTFULLY
DISAGREE.
THAT.
THE BREAD WHICH ALL PROTOCOLS
WERE NOT FOLLOWED TIME IN WE CAN
FOLLOW UP WITH SOME JUDD A
DOCUMENT CAPITATION ONE OF THE.
PURPOSES OF THE IN DEPTH
ASSESSMENT WERE DOING ON IS TO
PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION BUT
ALSO TO LOOK AT.
WHERE THERE MAY BE GAPS?
WE KNOW DEMAND RESPONSE VENTS
WERE CALLED WE CAN PROVIDE YOU
EVIDENCE OF THAT.
WE KNOW WHAT THE SAVINGS WAS
FROM DEMAND RESPONSE OFFENSE ON
THOSE DAYS I'M WE KNOW
COORDINATION DID HAPPEN BETWEEN
THE CAL I SO LADWP HOSE ARE THE
TWO. FOLKS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE GRADE.
TO RE DISPATCH GAS.
BY GENERATION ON THOSE DAYS OUT
OF THE REGION THEY CAN PROVIDE
INFORMATION ON THAT AND THEY'RE
ACTUALLY DOING SOME OF THEIR OWN
STUDIES RIGHT NOW ON WHAT THE
COST IMPACTS OF. OF THOSE
DETERMINATIONS OF STATES WORKERS
ARE WORK COST IMPACTS TO THAT.
WE DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY WERE
WITHDRAWING.
FROM THE OTHER FIELDS.
AND THE ONE OF MY FRUSTRATIONS
IS WE KNOW IT THE P. YOU SEE
WHAT THEY WERE DRAWING ON AN
HOURLY BASIS.
HOWEVER WHAT'S MADE PUBLIC IS.
AYE DALY WOULD DRAW AND THAT
UNFORTUNATELY DOES NOT. BY GIVE
THE PUBLIC A FULL PICTURE OF
WHAT WAS GOING ON BY THE DAILY
WITHDRAWAL IS NOT SHOW WHAT
HAPPENS OUT BETWEEN SIX IN THE
MORNING AND EIGHT IN THE MORNING
WHICH IS P. GAS DEMAND IN THE
WINTERTIME. WHICH IS WHEN THE
WITHDRAWALS WERE HAPPENING GONE
BUT WE DO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING
IN THE SYSTEM AT THOSE TIMES IN
THAT THEY WERE IN MAXIMUM
WITHDRAWAL. ON IN THE SYSTEM.
FROM THE OTHER.
FACILITIES UPON FOUR OF THE SIX
STATES ARE FIVE OF THE SIX
STATES IN WHICH THEY WITHDREW
FROM A WE SO CANYON. THE SIX DAY
WHICH IS THE DAY THAT I THINK
ARE CREATE SOME OF THE MOST
CONCERN THERE.
FOLLOWED A CLARIFICATION FOR ME
IT WAS ON DONE ON A SUNDAY THE
CLARIFICATION WAS ON A SATURDAY.
THAT THERE WERE DRAW PROTOCOL
DID NOT REQUIRED THEM TO BE AT
MAXIMUM WITHDRAW FROM THE FIELDS
EACH OF THE OTHER FIELDS ON
THOSE DAYS. BUT REQUIRED THEM TO
FULLY UTILIZE THOSE FIELDS AND
WHAT HAPPENED AT THAT POINT IS
AFTER FIVE DAY AFTER. A TWO WEEK
KEEP OUR COLD SPELL OF
WITHDRAWING FROM THE OTHER
FIELDS AT MAXIMUM AMOUNTS DAY
AFTER DAY AFTER DAY THEIR
STORAGE CAPACITY WAS SO LOW.
THAT IF WILL YOU WITHDREW
ANYMORE FROM THOSE FIELDS THEIR
ABILITY TO MEET DEMAND WOULD
HAVE BEEN SIDE STEPS THAT WE'VE
REVIEWED THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH
THE RIVER A PROTOCOL AND I I
DON'T SEE THAT.
THAT SIX DAY ISSUES AND IS NOT
ESSENTIAL TO ME IS WHETHER YOU
ALL HAVE CONFIDENCE AND NOT
ENOUGH IS A SAFETY DIVISION
QUESTION ENERGY DIVISION
QUESTION BUT. JOE CONFIDENCE IN
THE CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING UP TO
THOSE SIX DAYS THAT THE THE
LINES TAKEN OFFLINE AT THE
MAINTENANCE BEING DONE THAT SORT
OF LIMITED CAPACITY WE SAW THAT
BASIN. DO YOU DO YOU BELIEVE
THAT SAMPER AND THE GAS COMPANY
WERE ACTING IN GOOD FAITH
IN TERMS OF. THEIR PLANS FOR
WITHDRAWING WHETHER THEY WERE
ACTUALLY NECESSARY TO DO THE
MAINTENANCE AT THAT AT THOSE
MOMENTS.
OR WHETHER.
WE'VE ACTUALLY IS THE SAFETY AND
MAINTENANCE BEING DONE IT EITHER
ON LINES OR ON OTHER STORAGE
FIELDS WERE.
APPROPRIATED THAT MOMENT GIVEN
THAT THEY ANTICIPATED DEMAND
COMING FOR IT I MEAN DO YOU.
THIS GETS TO ISSUE A I THINK I
BELIEVE THAT WE'VE GOT COMING UP
WHICH I I DO HOPE WE CAN DRILL
DOWN ON BUT. WITH THE YOU OF IN
HOUSE
THE CAPACITY TO SORT OF NOT JUST
REACT AFTER THE FACT A NECESSITY.
BOTH LOOKING FORWARD TO
UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THE GAS
MARKET ON A DAILY BASIS I MEAN
AND I SAW YOU YOU'RE REQUESTING
ONE ADDITIONAL ATTORNEY FOR THE
THE GAS SAFETY SIDE. OF ME OF
ONE ATTORNEY FOR THE ENTIRE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW
OVERSEEING THE ENTIRE GAS
INDUSTRY.
WHEN IT COMES TO THESE THESE
SORT OF MARKET OVERSIGHT
QUESTIONS.
THAT SEEMS LIKE TOO BIG OF A JOB
FOR ONE PERSON OR EVEN TO PEOPLE
AND. THINGS WERE IN BUDGET
COMMITTEE MEAN THAT'S REALLY THE
QUESTION IS.
SO WE DON'T HAVE TO GO IN AND
SORT OF LOOK BACKWARDS EVERY
TIME WHAT CAN WE DO GOING
FORWARD TO KNOW THAT.
.
WE'RE NOT AS FOR FOR A RATE
PAYER PERSPECTIVE REALLY THAT
WERE NOT THERE'S NOT SORT OF
ARBITRARY CRISES BEING CREATED
AND CONTRIVED CRISES BUT THAT
ACTUALLY THE MAINTENANCE IN THE
TIMING.
IS NECESSARY AND THERE'S NO
GAMING IN THE SYSTEM SO THAT I
DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S BETTER
RESERVE FOR ISSUE EIGHT FOUR.
WELL THE.
MAYBE YOU COULD.
LIMIT YOUR RESPONSE TO HOW
EFFECTIVELY SO CANYON SINCE WERE
FINE AND SENSITIVE AT LISA
CANYON IS A PIECE OF THAT.
BETTER REGULATION BOMB AND WE'RE
HERE. WITH THE UPDATE.
BOB WILL THE STUFF OF THE SAFE
AND. VISION AND STUFF FROM THE
ENERGY DIVISION I'M MEETING.
.
WEEKLY AND REGULARLY WITH THE
YOU TO BITS.
SOCAL GAS
OF BIG WE GO OVER THE
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS
SCHEDULE AND IF THERE ARE ANY.
THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF THE
NORMAL WE DO QUESTION THAT AND
WE LOOK AT THAT SO THESE MEET
WOULDN'T MEETINGS ARE HAPPENING
ON A WEEKLY BASIS WE ARE.
VERY UP TO DATE IN TERMS OF
WHAT THE DOCTOR PLANNING TO DO
WHAT PIPELINES MAYBE AND REPAIR
SOME OF THESE REPAIRS.
HAVE BEEN IN PROCESS FOR A LONG
TIME SO WE ARE DIFFERENT BE
STAYING.
IN COORDINATION BUT APPRECIATE
THE MEDIA I'M TALKING MORE ABOUT
THE DATA I MEAN WHAT WHAT'S
BEING PROPOSED NOW IS ALL THE
HYDRAULIC MODELING TO BE DONE IN
THAT BASE IN. AS PARTY S. B.
THREE STUDY TO BE OUTSOURCED TO
THE GAS COMPANY TO DO IT
THEMSELVES AND THAT. YOU GUYS
DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE YOUR OWN
HYDRAULIC MODEL FOR SOFTWARE IN
HOUSE I APPRECIATE THAT YOU TOOK
ON THE THE ECONOMIC SIDE OF
THINGS BECAUSE I THINK.
THE ECONOMICS ARE REALLY
IMPORTANT. BUT. I KNOW YOU HAD A
LOGJAM IN TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO
ACTUALLY FIND THE OUTSIDE
EXPERTISE TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS
EXCEPT WITHIN THE GAS COMPANY
WITH SOME OVERSIGHT FROM LOS
ALAMOS RIGHT.
BUT WHAT IS IT WHAT DOES IT TAKE
TO ACTUALLY GET OUR OVERSIGHT
BODY YOU. TO HAVE THE IN HOUSE
CAPACITY SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE
TO RELY ON THE GAS COMPANIES
SORT OF MODELED THEMSELVES LIKE.
I'M TRYING TO FIND CREDIBLE
OUTCOMES THEY WANT THAT THE
PUBLIC'S GOING TO TRUST TO BE TO
HANG THEIR HAT ON TO SEE WHAT
COMES OUT OF THESE THREE EIGHTY
PROCEEDINGS. IS REALLY QUALITY
INDEPENDENT PRODUCT AND NOT SORT
OF SECOND GUESSED BY YOU KNOW
EVERYONE AFTER THE FACT THAT
JUST COMMENTS ON THAT.
IT SENATOR MAYBE DID TO SPLIT
THE ISSUES LIKE BECAUSE WE
JUMPED AROUND A LITTLE BIT
THERE'S THE QUESTION OF WHETHER
OR NOT WE HAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES
TO.
I'M MONITOR THE TIMING OF
REPAIRS AND OTHER ISSUES OF
PIPELINES.
AND THEN ANOTHER QUESTION OF DO
WE HAVE RESOURCES TO DO OUR OWN
AND HEALTH MODELING ON HIS
RELATES A THREE EIGHTY. ON AND
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF BUDGET
HISTORY THERE.
AFTER THE PASSAGE OF S. B.
THREE FIFTY.
BEYOND THE LEGISLATURE GAVE UP
YOU SEE THE AUTHORITY TO CREATE
A MODELING SECTION WITHIN THE P.
YOU SEE.
THAT WAS LARGELYAIMED AT OUR
ABILITIES TO DO INTEGRATED
RESOURCE PLANNING AND OTHER
ISSUES.
AND THEN AFTER THE PATCHES OF
THREE EIGHTY ARE WE WERE GIVEN A
POSITION THERE TO WORK ON GAS
ISSUES AS WELL BOMB AND
KNOWLEDGE IN THAT.
THAT IS WHY IN THE ORIGINAL
PLAN WOULD HAVE BEEN
TO HAVE DONE SOME OF THE
CONTRACTING WHICH WAS ALSO IN
THE BUDGET ON AND THEN MAKE SURE
WE HAD STAFF TRAIN GOING FORWARD.
TIME.
THAT TO ME FROM A MODELING
SECTION MAKES MORE SENSE.
IT'S A BIG RISK FOR STATE AGENCY
TO TAKE COMPLEX MODELING AND
HOUSE.
ON IT'S A SPECIALIZED.
SKILL SET IN IS WE'RE NOW
LEARNING SOME OF THE STATE
CONTRACTING TO GET THE MODELING
SOFTWARE IS.
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WORKING
THROUGH THAT IN MY ORIGINAL PLAN
WITH THAT WAS TO.
HIGHER STAFF WORK WITH OUTSIDE
CONSULTANTS.
SO STAFFERS TRAIN AND THEN
CREATE A DEEP BENCH SO IN CASE
SOMEBODY RETIRES OR MOVES TO
ANOTHER JOB YOU DON'T ALL OF A
SUDDEN COME TO A SCREECHING HALT.
SO THAT WAS THE GAME PLAN THERE
WAS TO EVENTUALLY GO BRING ALL
THIS AND HOUSE BUT DIDN'T WANT
TO DO IT IN A SINGLE YEAR AND
IT'S STILL THE GAME PLAN. BUT
WE'VE BEEN FORCED TO BRING SUFF
AND HOUSE QUICKER THAN WE
THOUGHT WE WOULD.
IF I COULD JUST OFFER MY
ASSISTANCE IN BREAKING THROUGH
WHATEVER SOFTWARE BOTTLENECK
THAT IS THOUGH WITH THE GS.
I WOULD WELCOME THAT FEEDBACK
BECAUSE.
I KNOW THAT.
WE WE WANT A STRONG ROBUST CPUC
HERE THAT THE PUBLIC'S REALLY
GONNA BELIEVE AND SO. THANK YOU.
YEAH WE WILL THOUGH IT CLEARLY
YOU ARE READY TO HELP ON THAT
VERY FINAL QUESTION AND THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INDULGENCE
ALL THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS HERE.
THIS CHANGE THE LIVES OF SO
MANY PEOPLE.
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SO IT
BEARS I THINK A BIT OF
INDULGENCE BUT.
TIMING. GOING FOR ON THIS ROUTE
BECAUSE ANNOUNCES WHAT WHAT DO
YOU GUYS TO COME DOWN THE PIKE
ANYWHERE. I FORGET WHAT PHASE
BUT.
BLADES GOT SOME FEEDBACK INITIAL
SORT A REPORT. WHAT WE LOOKING
AT HERE GOING FORWARD DID YOU
HAVE ANY SORT OF EXPECTED
TIMELINE YES THE OTHER DAY HOW
THEY PROVIDE EXPECT THE TIME
LINES BASED ON WHERE THEY ARE AS
YOU SAID?
DEFY PHASES IN THE.
BECAUSE ANNOUNCES THEIR AT FACE
FOR.
BASED ON SOME OF THE
INFORMATION THAT THEY HAVE
GOTTEN SO FAR THEY WOULD LIKE TO
GO AND ACTUALLY EXTRACT MORE OF
THE EVIDENCE.
SO THERE'S ALWAYS THAT THAT
WHEN THEY GET THAT INFORMATION
THEY LOOK AT THE DATA AND THEY
MAY NEED TO DOMORE WORK.
THE SCHEDULE THAT WE HAVE FROM
THEM IS THAT THEY HOPE TO HAVE
ALL OF THE DATA DONE BY JULY OF
TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN AND THEN
THEY WORK ON TO BASICALLY. A
PROVIDING THE REPORT BY NOVEMBER
OF TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN SO THAT
WOULD BE FOUR BLADES REPORT AND
THEN AS I MENTIONED CPUC AND THE
DOG AND DOG ARE ALSO HAVE THEIR
OWN INVESTIGATIONS RICHARD
HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THE SEISMIC
ANALYSIS IS IS IT IN THAT SECOND
THAT THAT P. YOU SEE DUGGAR
PROCESS.
IS THIS IS SEISMIC ANALYSIS
WHICH IS PART OF ON THE WAS
TALKERS OF REQUIREMENT AND IT'S
IT'S HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME
IT'S IT'S NOT HARD TO ROOT CAUSE
ANALYSIS BUT IT'S GOING FORWARD.
YES AND THAT GOD IS.
THEY HAD A GOALIE HOUSE WITHIN
DOG BUT THEN THEY WILL INFORM
YOU WITH THAT ONCE THEY'RE
COMPLETE AND IT IT'S SAID THEY
HAVE A CLUB SODA GAS HAS A
CONTRACTOR WHO'S DOING THE WORK
AND YES IT IS IT WAS ORDERED BY
DOCTOR AND. YOU SEE WILL ALSO
HAVE ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION
EVENTUALLY.
OKAY GRAY OUR RESERVE THE REST
OF THE COMMENTS FOR LATER BUT
APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK.
THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE LET'S

ALRIGHT LET'S CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING CENTER STERN YOU WANT TO

YEAH. JUST TO.
GIVE YOU GUYS AN OPPORTUNITY
SORT OF SCOPE THIS OUT I THINK
THAT WAS A PRETTY GOOD INITIAL
TAKE ON THINGS BUT.
THIS MAY NOT BE.
SPENT A BE STRICTLY WITHIN THE
SCOPE OF OF THIS PARTICULAR
BUDGET REQUEST BUT.
ON THE.
BUT SPEED AND TIMING OF REPAIRS
GOING ON IN THE SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA BASIN WE'VE HAD SOME
MAJOR LINE DISRUPTIONS.
IS THAT WHAT THIS SAFETY POLICY
RELIABILITY MARKETING MARKET
MONITORING DIVISION COVERS.
MEANS THAT IS THAT IN YOUR
PURVIEW IT IS AND IT WILL COVER
THAT FROM THE LEGAL DIVISION
SIDE FROM THE LEGAL DIVISION GOT
IT AND AND SO.
BUT FROM THE ENERGY DIVISION
SIDE AYE AYE THE QUESTION.
MAYBE.
SORRY IF DIRECTOR RAN OUT.
MAYBE THIS IS MORE SPECIFIC IN
THE BRADER ISSUE BUT. THERE TOO
TWO MAJOR LINES THAT ARE DOWN
STILL RIGHT NOW I THINK IT'S.
THREE THOUSAND AND FOUR THOUSAND.
AND THERE WAS GONNA THERE WAS A
THEIR DEPENDING ON REPORT.
ONLINE TO THIRTY FIVE TWO.
THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE COMING UP
SOON BEFORE YOUR RELY SUMMER
RELIABILITY WORKSHOP I JUST
WONDER WHAT THE STATUS OF
RELEASING.
A RELEASING THAT REPORT ON THAT
TO THIRTY FIVE LINE TO THIRTY
FIVE IS THAT COMING UP ON
THE A TWO THIRTY FIVE REJECTION
RUPTURED THERE'S A ROOT CAUSE
ANALYSIS GOING ON ON THAT. FUND
THAT'S BEING CONDUCTED BY THE
UTILITY ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW THE
TIMING OF WHEN THAT'S DO.
THERE'S ALSO.
THEY HAVE PERFORMED ON LINE.
FOUR THOUSAND AND THEY HAVE DONE
WHAT'S CALLED PICKING.
WHICH IS SENDING.
MECHANISM THROUGH ABOUT NINETY
FIVE MILES OF PIPE.
TO LOOK FOR STRUCTURAL
INTEGRITY ISSUES THERE.
AND AND THE PICKING RESULTS
WHICH THEY HAD INITIALLY
REPORTED TO US WERE DO SEVERAL
WEEKS AGO ARE NOW DO SEVERAL
WEEKS FROM NOW. ON THAT COULD
IMPACT ON HOW THAT PIPELINES
OPERATED IN THE FUTURE DEPENDING
UPON WHAT THE. THE RESULTS ARE
YOU CONCERNED TO HAVING THIS
WORKSHOP THEM FOR YOU KNOW ALL
THESE OUTCOMES IF YOU DON'T KNOW
TO THIRTY FIVE YET AND YOU DON'T
KNOW WHAT COMES AT FOUR THOUSAND
TO A FEW WEEKS AFTER HAS THE
PUBLIC COMMENT ON YEAH. MEAN IT
WHEN YOU'RE DOING A SUMMER
ASSESSMENT WORKSHOP WE'D LIKE TO
DO BEFORE THE SUMMER.
YEAH YEAH SO.
IF WE WAITED FOR ALL THAT WE DO
IN THE SUMMER ASSESSMENT
WORKSHOP IN JULY ON BUT I THINK
THE BROADER QUESTION WHICH COMES
BACK TO YOUR EARLIER QUESTION
ARE WE CONCERNED ABOUT.
.
THAT THE OVERALL STATUS IN
PRIORITY SO CAL GAS IS PUTTING
ON THEIR PIPELINE SYSTEM AND THE
ANSWER IS YES WE ARE ON. AND
LOOKING BACK AT SOME OF THE
STUFF GOING ON THE LAST WINTER
YEAH THERE'S A. YOU CAN YOU CAN
CHALK THAT UP TO JUST ABOUT
CHAIN OF EVENTS.
BUT AS IT CONTINUES AND AS.
ESTIMATED.
ONLINE DATES FOR PIPES HAVE
BEEN TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE
CONTINUALLY GET DELAYED BOMB WE
ARE INCREASINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT
THEIR ABILITY TO MANAGE THE
SYSTEM. AND IN OUR YOU KNOW
INTERNALLY IN STARTING WITH THE
OTHER AGENCIES TO HAVE
DISCUSSIONS ABOUT.
HOW DO WE WRAP OUR HEAD HOW HOW
DO WE DO THAT AND WE ARE NOT SET
UP ORIGINALLY TO?
FRONT AND MANAGE THE UTILITY WE
ARE SET UP TO ASSUME THAT THEY
DO THE RIGHT THING AND THEN.
DEAL WITH IT IF THEY DON'T AND
SO WERE WERE IN THIS WEIRD MIX
NOW WHERE I I THINK WHAT'S BEING
ASKED OF US IS NOT WHAT WE WORST
AT OUR HISTORICAL MISSION AND.
THEN DOES STRUCTURE STAFF
RESOURCES PRETTY THIN WE'VE IN
THE LAWYER NOW WE'VE BEEN THE
LAWYER HOW WITH THE LAWYERS
POSITION HELP IN THIS.
NEW FRONTIER.
UP THERE. ASSEMBLY ATTORNEY SELF
IN MANY MANY WAYS AND THERE'S
THERE'S A QUESTIONS ABOUT
JURISDICTION.
THAT THE PIPELINES ARE
REGULATED IN PART BY.
THAT FOR BECAUSE SEVERAL.
FINS A HAS A ROLE AND THE STATE
PAROLE SO THEIR JURISDICTIONAL
QUESTIONS THEIR ARCHERS SEXUAL
QUESTIONS AS BETWEEN STATE
AGENCIES.
.
UP THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FILMS
THAT. REGULATIONS ON THE SAFE
OPERATION OF PIPELINES AND THE
BOYS HAVE JUMPED IN TO ASSIST IN
THE INTERPRETATION OF THAT UP AS
REQUESTED.
AND THE ATTORNEYS TO ADVISE THE
ENERGY DIVISION.
AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
JUDGES AS THEY.
ADMINISTER THEIR PROCEEDINGS
AND ADVISED THE COMMISSIONERS.
.
THE ATTORNEYS THERE'S THERE'S AN
ADVISORY FUNCTION AS AN ADVOCACY
FUNCTION HUNG THE ADVISORY
ADVISES THE DECISION MAKERS.
AND. THAT THE ADVOCACY. PURSUES
THE PROSECUTION THE LITIGATION
SO THAT'S JUST A VARIETY OF
ROLES FOR THE ATTORNEYS.
STERN.
I JUST I BY KNOWING IN YOUR
BUDGET REQUEST THERE'S A
DISCUSSION ANSWERED ALTERNATIVE
TOOLS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT TO
LOOK AT SORT OF.
IT MIGHT BE LOOKING AHEAD IT
MIGHT BE LOOKING BACKWARDS I
THINK IT'S WITHIN LEGAL I MIGHT
NOT BE WITHIN ENERGY BUT.
TERMS OF THESE THE PRICE
VOLATILITY THE RATE PAYER SIDE
OF THINGS IS THAT. IS THAT PART
OF THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT YOU'RE
ANTICIPATING HERE TO SORT OF
LOOK AT. IMPACTS ON PRICE
VOLATILITY FROM SOME OF THESE
DELAYED REPAIRS IN THIS SORT OF
TIMING IS THAT. THAT'S NOT SO
MUCH YOUR WORLD THAT'S MORE
ENERGY DIVISIONS I THINK THAT IS
MORE ENERGY DIVISION MORE ENERGY
TO I'M AND I THINK LEGAL
DIVISION CAN ASSIST BECAUSE
THERE IS SOME EXPERIENCE IN THIS
IN WHO WE HAVE DEALT WITH PRICE
VOLATILITY IN GAS MARKETS
PREVIOUSLY. AND BUT I THINK IT'S
PRIMARILY ENERGY DIVISIONS YUMMY.
CURRENTLY WE RELY ON ON BOTH
ENERGY DIVISION STAFF AND SOME
LEGAL STAFF TO LOOK AT PRICE
VOLATILITY BUT THAT'S BECAUSE
SOME OF THE LEGAL DIVISION STAFF
HAS A LONG HISTORY IN THE AREA
AND HAS SOME EXPERTISE.
GOT IT BUT THERE'S NO ENERGY
DIVISION REQUEST OR OR AT THIS
POINT TO ADD MORE CAPACITY ON
THAT'S NOT FOR THIS YEAR AT THIS
POINT IT WILL WE WOULD I I WOULD
JUST SAY. WE AND WE CAN CONTINUE
THIS DISCUSSION OFFLINE BUT.
CONTINUING TO LOOK AT WHAT THOSE
ALTERNATIVE TOOLS ARE TO BE ABLE
TO. ADDRESS.
MARKET DISRUPTION ISSUES THIS
WHAT SEEMS TO BE COMING A
GROWING NAGGING ISSUE OF TIMING
AND DELAYS AND TIMELINES.
WE MIGHT HAVE TO TAKE IN SECOND
LOOK AND SAY DO WE NEED THE P.
YOU SEE TO BE A PROACTIVE JUST A
REACTIVE FORCE ON THIS SIDE OF
THINGS SO. I'M BUT FORTY
