WELCOME TO BUDGET SUB ONE.
A COUPLE GROUND RULES WE ARE
DOING MEMBERS REQUEST TODAY. AND
SO AS HAS BEEN THE TRADITION
WITH OTHER BUDGET SUBS.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ONE
PRESENTER.
FOR MEMBERS REQUEST THAT COULD
BE THE MEMBER OR A
REPRESENTATIVE OF THAT.
ISSUE A ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY ON
THE MEMBERS REQUESTS WILL GO I
PUBLIC COMMENT. AFTER THE
MEMBERS REQUEST SECTION.
OKAY AND SOMEONE ASKED MEMBERS
OR THEIR DESIGNEES TO TRY TO
STICK TO TWO MINUTES.
IF WE CAN AND I'M GONNA TAKE
BUDGET SUB CHAIRS FIRST BECAUSE

SUB.
YES SO SENATOR ROTH IS HERE
MORNING ALL RIGHT TO HIM.
BECAUSE HE HAS BUSINESS TO DO
AND I SEE SENATOR FOR OUT IN THE
CROWD GOOD TO SEE YOU SIR.
I KNEW.
BOB GOOD THANK YOU MISTER.
KELLY AGAIN.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO
PRESENT A INLAND SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA AS YOU AY KNOW AND
OTHERS OF THE STATE HAS A
CRITICAL SHORTAGE OF MENTAL AND
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES.
THIS IS DUE TO A SHORTAGE OF
PROVIDERS AND MENTAL HEALTH BEDS.
FOR EXAMPLE RIVERSIDE COUNTY HAS
FIVE POINT TWO NINE
PSYCHIATRISTS PER ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND PEOPLE INSTEAD OF THE
STATEWIDE AVERAGE OF FOURTEEN.
POINT FOUR SEVEN PSYCHIATRIST
PER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE.
AND OF COURSE THERE'S A
DISPARITY IN MENTAL HEALTH
FUNDING DUE TO A FUNDING FORMULA
IN THE STATE WAS DESIGNED IN THE
NINETEEN EIGHTIES AND EARLY
NINETEEN NINETIES BEFORE THE
POPULATION SHIFT.
FROM THE.
COASTAL URBANIZED AREAS TO
INLAND AREAS AND THE GROWTH THAT
RESULTED IN THOSE LOCATIONS.
IN FACT IN SOME RESPECTS WITH
RESPECT TO MENTAL HEALTH
RIVERSIDE COUNTY.
I HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS A
SEVERE SHORTAGE AREA AND I'M NOT
SURE I'M SURE THAT THAT NOT ONLY
APPLIES TO RIVERSIDE COUNTY BUT
TO SOME OTHER AREAS IN THE
INLAND PARTS OF THE STATE SO
THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
TO BEGIN TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.
STATEWIDE IN CONJUNCTION WITH
THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
RIVERSIDE IN THE COUNTY OF
RIVERSIDE.
WE HAVE PROPOSED A PILOT
PROGRAM IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY
STARTING THERE TO EXPAND THE
AVAILABILITY OF MENTAL HEALTH
PROVIDERS AND ACCESS TO MENTAL
HEALTH CARE.
THROUGH THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY.
SPECIFICALLY THE PILOT PROGRAM
WILL NUMBER ONE ESTABLISH TOWER
PSYCHIATRY DIAGNOSES AND
COUNSELING TREATMENT SERVICES.
TO REACH REMOTE COMMUNITIES IN
NEED BY DEPLOYING TELEMEDICINE
EQUIPMENT TO RURAL CLINICS AND
MOBILE CLINICS.
IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY. TO
ESTABLISH PSYCHIATRY RESIDENCY
PROGRAMS IN SOME CASES
EXHILARATED PSYCHIATRY RESIDENCY
TRAINING PROGRAMS IN REMOTE
UNDERSERVED AREAS OF THE COUNTY
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WE'RE
PHYSICIANS TRAIN.
THEY WIND UP PRACTICING AND
THREE ESTABLISHING CONDUCT
TELEMEDICINE TRAINING IN MENTAL
HEALTH TO DIAGNOSIS AND
TREATMENT FOR NURSE
PRACTITIONERS SOCIAL WORKERS AND
OTHER PROVIDERS. AT DESERT BASED
COMMUNITY CLINICS
OBVIOUSLY THERE'S EQUIPMENT
PURCHASING THERE'S TRAINING
THEIR STAFFING THEIR FACILITIES
TO SET UP.
THE PROGRAM OF THE PILOT PROGRAM
COST IN THIS CASE IS THIRTY
SEVEN POINT SEVEN MILLION
DOLLARS. OVER FIVE YEARS.
IF APPROVED WE BELIEVE THAT THIS
INNOVATIVE PROGRAM WILL BE
SUCCESSFUL BEYOND OUR
EXPECTATIONS AND WILL BEGIN TO
SOLVE OUR MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS
STATEWIDE AND I THINK YOU FOR
YOUR PATIENCE STRAIGHTER YOU ARE
GENERAL AND I HOPE YOU HAVE A
GOOD COMMITTEE THIS MORNING AND
WE'VE GOT IT ON THE. LIST THANK
THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT MEMBERS WE WILL.
GO TO OUR. FILE WATER I GUESS
GUYS SINCE SENATOR ALLEN IS HERE
IN LA SHE WILL.
OKAY SHEER GONNA PRESENT.
ONE A WHICH IS THE VISUAL AND
PERFORMING ARTS.
AND YOU'RE GONNA PRESENT THE
PROMISE AND THEN. WE HAVE FILE
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A DESIGNEES DO
WON T. IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY
RIGHT OKAY SO TAKEN AWAY MISTER
ALLEN.
WELL THANK YOU FIGURE MEMBERS I
I'M A CERTAIN ITEM ONE A. THAT
MAKES SENSE.
AS YOU KNOW I CHAIR THE SENATE
EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
AND I ALSO CHAIR OF THE JOINT
COMMITTEE ON THE ARTS IN THIS
REQUEST COMBINES MY WORK IN
THOSE TWO POLICY AREAS.
SO THIS IS A A REQUEST RELATING
TO SENATE BILL NINE THIRTY THREE
WHICH IS A ONE TIME FIFTY
MILLION DOLLAR APPROPRIATION TO
COVER DEPARTMENT DUCATION FOR
NEW. AND COMPETITIVE GRANT
PROGRAM.
FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE
VISUAL AND PERFORMING ARTS
INSTRUCTION.
THE FUNDING WOULD SUPPORT A
PROGRAM. THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING
CREATED BY THE BILL FROM
AUTHORING THIS YEAR.
FOR THE CURRENT LAW REQUIRES
SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE ELEMENTARY
AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH
INSTRUCTION IN VISUAL PERFORMING
ARTS.
MANY SCHOOLS ARE NOT COMPLYING.
S. B. NINE THIRTY THREES ARTS
FOR EVERY STUDENT INITIATIVE.
INCENTIVE GRANT PROGRAM WHICH
WILL ASSIST SCHOOL DISTRICTS
WITH ESTABLISHING AND EXPANDING.
ARTS EDUCATION PROGRAMS AROUND
THE STATE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION
WILL BE GIVEN DUE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS WITH SERVING SUCH
ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED
STUDENTS WITH LIMITED ACCESS TO
VISUAL ARTS.
EDUCATION AND TO SCHOOL
DISTRICT WITH A DEMONSTRATE
COMMITMENT TO VISUAL AND
PERFORMING ARTS EDUCATION.
STUDENTS WHO ARE EXPOSED TO
MUSIC DANCE THEATER VISUAL ARTS
AND MEDIA ARTS DO BETTER ACROSS
THE BOARD ACADEMICALLY SOCIALLY
EMOTIONALLY ULTIMATELY
ECONOMICALLY. THEY'RE MUCH MORE
LIKELY TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH
SCHOOL.
I PURSUE HIGHER EDUCATION.
WHY IS THAT IT'S VERY
INTERESTING ABOUT IT A LOT IT
SEEMS TO BE THAT IN ARTS
EDUCATION? CONNECTS TO A STUDENT
IN THE WAY THAT A TRADITIONAL
ACT CURRICULA MAY NOT. AYE AND
AND AND AND SENDS A SIGNAL TO OF
MORE DISAFFECTED STUDENT THAT
THEY CAN ACTUALLY DO WELL IN
SCHOOL. IS THE ARTS EDUCATION
GOING TAPS INTO A A SET OF
SKILLS THAT.
THEY MAY I THAT MAY NOT BE
CONNECTING TO THEM AYE THROUGH
THE TRADITIONAL CURRICULUM THE
AND THEN THERE'S LOTS OF GREAT
DATE ON THE THEY PRETENDED SHE
BETTER RESULTS IN READING AND
MATH BECAUSE. IT.
HAVE BOTH EXPANDS OUR MINDS AND
CHANGES THEIR ATTITUDE ABOUT
SCHOOL THE RESEARCH ALSO SHOWS
THAT THERE ARE REALLY ONLY
UPSIDES TO ROBUST. ARTS
EDUCATION PROGRAM BUT THE
PROBLEM IS WE'VE JUST ROLLED
BACK ARE TO BE COMMENDED ARTS
EDUCATION I YOU KNOW BOTH OF YOU
HAVE BEEN DEEP INTO. THIS
QUESTION FOR A LONG LONG TIME
AND I.
I REALLY DO HOPE.
THAT AND YOU KNOW THE YOU'LL
YOU'LL SEE FIT TO SUPPORT
SOMETHING LIKE THIS MAY
ULTIMATELY THAT THE BENEFITS OF
ARTS EDUCATION ARE OUR HIGHEST
IN THE DAILY SHOW'S IS OVER OVER
AND HIGHEST FOR LOW INCOME.
HELLO LOWER SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS

LEARNERS AND YET IN THE SAME
STUDENTS TYPICALLY HAVE THE
LEAST ACCESS TO IT DO THANK YOU

THIS FUNDING THAT WILL JUMPSTART
ARTS PROGRAMMING ACROSS THE
STATE TO CREATE. SCALABLE
PROGRAMS THAT WE CAN HOPEFULLY
USE TO. EXPAND ACCESS EDUCATION
THROUGHOUT THE CALIFORNIA.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING A FOR
THAT ITEM ONE A A.
THEN WE HAVE ITEMS ONE BE WHICH
IS A.
ONETIME PREPARATION.
FIVE TWENTY MILLION THIS IS A
REQUEST OF COMING FROM A NUMBER
OF MEMBERS.
I BUT IT BASICALLY SEEKS TO
CONTINUE THE OPERATION OF FIVE
EXISTING PROMISE NEIGHBORHOODS.
SO FOLKS MAY REMEMBER THAT IN
TWENTY TEN PRESIDENT OBAMA
ESTABLISHED THIS PROGRAM TO
IMPROVE. EDUCATIONAL LIFE
OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN LIVING IN
POVERTY IN OUR MOST DISTRESSED
COMMUNITIES ALL THROUGHOUT THE

ON THEIR FIVE FEDERALLY FUNDED
PROMISE NEIGHBORHOODS IN
CALIFORNIA IN LOS ANGELES AND
THE CISCO CHULA VISTA HAYWARD
CORNING.
EITHER FEDERAL FUNDING EXPIRES
THIS YEAR.
AND UNFORTUNATELY.
OUR NEW PRESIDENT'S PROPOSED
TWENTY EIGHTEEN TWENTY EIGHTEEN
BUDGET DOES NOT INCLUDE FUNDING
TO CONTINUE THEM WHICH.
MEANS ARE FACING CLOSURE ABSENT
ARE HELPING THAT WOULD BE SUCH A
SHAME GIVEN THE TRACK RECORD.
AND JUST SEEMS UNFORTUNATE SOME
IDEOLOGICAL REASONS ARE.
THE PROGRAM IS NOW IN JEOPARDY.
SO THESE PROGRAMS ACROSS THE
STATE OF SERVE THIRTY THOUSAND
STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES
ANNUALLY WORKING THROUGH FIFTY
TWO INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL SITES.
WITH SIXTY FOUR NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATIONS IN GOVERNMENT
ENTITIES I A CAME OUT OF THAT
REASON THE IDEA CAME OUT OF THE
HARLEM CHILDREN'S ZONE AYE BUT
IT'S BEEN INVOLVED IN CHANGE
OVER TIME AND.
MAN DOT AND.
THERE'S IT'S PRETTY AMAZING WHAT
WHAT THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO
AUTHOR OF THE STATE IN
COLLABORATION SCHOOLS THAT
THERE'S A LEAD NONPROFIT AGENCY
THAT COORDINATES WITH AN ARRAY
OF SERVICES INCLUDING NUTRITION
PREVENTIVE. HEALTH CARE PRENATAL
EDUCATION HIGH QUALITY EARLY

SERVICES THAT ARE UNIQUE TO EACH
LIVE COMMUNITIES NEEDS.
YOU KNOW I I I IT'S MY STRONG
FEELINGS A UNIQUE PROGRAM IT'S A
REMARKABLE PROGRAM IT'S BEEN
BUILT. UP OVER THESE LAST FEW
YEARS AND IT REALLY WOULD BE A
SHAME TO LOSE. WHAT HAS BEEN
PROOF OF PROVEN TO BE EFFECTIVE
TO HELP OUT RISK UNITS AND THEIR
FAMILIES AND I? I I MAKE THIS
REQUEST WAS CENTERS HERTZBERG
HUESO WIENER SOME MEMBERS JUNE
QUIRK.
AND THAT WE SEE IN THE FIRST
HAND.
THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF THESE
PROGRAMS HAVE HAD AND WE
CERTAINLY HOPE THAT.
NOW YOU GAVE THIS ISSUE YOU'RE
STRONG CONSIDERATION.

WHAT?
SO YOU'RE ONE J. I'M SORRY.
YEAH ONE J. MY MISTAKE.
ALRIGHT PLEASE.
GOOD MORNING.
HELLO MISTER CHAIR I'M JOSLYN TO
TALENT I HAVE WHAT I CONSIDER TO
BE THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING THE
VICE PRESIDENT OF ADVANCEMENT.
AT THE SKIRBALL CULTURAL CENTER
IN LOS ANGELES.
AND THE MISSION OF THE SKIRBALL
IS TO BE A PLACE OF MEETING
GUIDED BY THE JEWISH TRADITION
OF WELCOMING THE STRANGER AND
INSPIRED. BY THE AMERICAN
DEMOCRATIC IDEALS OF FREEDOM AND
EQUALITY AND THE SKIRBALL HAS
NOW BECOME THE LARGEST JEWISH
CULTURAL INSTITUTION IN NORTH
AMERICA.
WE'RE WELCOMING EVER SIX HUNDRED
THOUSAND VISITORS ANNUALLY FROM
AROUND THE WORLD.
AND THEY COME TO PARTICIPATE IN
CULTURAL EXPERIENCES THAT
CELEBRATE DISCOVERY AND HOPE.
AND FOSTER HUMAN CONNECTIONS AND
CALL UPON US TO HELP BUILD A
MORE JUST SOCIETY.
SO I'M HERE TODAY TO SUPPORT A
BI PARTISAN REQUEST LED BY
SENATORS HERTZBERG AN ALLEN AND
OTHERS. FOR A ONE MILLION DOLLAR
BUDGET REQUEST THAT WILL AUGMENT
OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS.
SEVERAL YEARS AGO THEN SPEAKER
HERTZBERG HELP DESCRIBE ALL
OBTAIN FUNDING THAT REALLY
DEVELOPED ARE VERY FIRST
EDUCATIONA PROGRAMS.
AND TODAY THESE PROGRAMS ON
HISTORY AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT ARE
ALIGNED WITH CALIFORNIA COMMON
CORE STANDARDS AND ARE TAUGHT.
BY HIGHLY QUALIFIED EDUCATORS.
WE'RE ALL WORKING VERY HARD Q.
PROUDLY SERVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
PRE KINDERGARTEN THROUGH TWELFTH
GRADE STUDENTS AND THEIR
TEACHERS ANNUALLY THAT ARE
COMING FROM FORTY. DIFFERENT
SCHOOL DISTRICTS
THE VAST MAJORITY OF STUDENTS WE
SERVE COME FROM LOW INCOME
NEIGHBORHOODS AND LOW INCOME
FAMILIES.
AND WE BELIEVE THAT OUR
INTERACTIVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
PROVIDE ON GOING BENEFITS TO
CALIFORNIA AND ARE VERY
DESERVING OF YOUR CONSIDERATION.
SO FOR EXAMPLE BUS
TRANSPORTATION FOR FIELD TRIPS
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IS ALMOST
NONEXISTENT IN LOS ANGELES
COUNTY.
AND WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE
STATE WILL EXPAND SUBSIDIZED
TRANSPORTATION AND ENTRANCE FEES
FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ACROSS
THE ECONOMIC.
CULTURAL SPECTRUM WITH THIS
FUNDING WE CAN ALSO CONTINUE TO
GIVE STUDENTS FREE ADMISSION TO
RETURN TO THE SKIRBALL WITH
THEIR FAMILIES.
AND I WANT TO THANK SENATOR
ALLEN AYE FOR BEING HERE WITH ME
TODAY. AND I WANNA THANK ALL OF
YOU FOR LISTENING AND I URGE YOU
TO SUPPORT THIS BUDGET REQUEST
AND I THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IF YOU.
AND TO SAY ME TOO.
ME TOO I HAVE BEEN A DISASTER
COOLEY AND.
THAT WILL HAVE ITEM WON T. I
KNOW YEAH WE'RE GONNA GO TO ITEM
ONE TEACHER THANK YOU ONCE YOUR
BODY. ALRIGHT AND YOU HAVE ARE
YOU PRESENTING ONE TEAR YOU HAVE
SOMEBODY ELSE I'M PRESENTING
WENT OKAY YEAH TAKE IT AWAY I
WON T..
ARTS OF TIS IS THAT MY NEXT
REQUEST.
I'M.
DOING THIS IN MY ROLE AS THE
VICE CHAIR OF THE JEWISH CAUCUS.
AND SO THE FOLKS WHO JUST CAUCUS
KNOW THAT WE ARE REQUESTING A
ONE POINT TWO MILLION DOLLAR ONE
TIME APPROPRIATION FOR TWO YEAR
PILOT PROGRAM TO CONDUCT
TRAINING. AT ARE YOU SEE AND CAL
STATE CAMPUSES ON HOW TO RESPOND
TO NEW AND TROUBLING CHALLENGES
ON THE CAMPUSES AS THEY RELATE.
TO HATE SPEECH.
AND THIS REQUEST WAS ROUGH FOR
BY THE JEWS PUBLIC AFFAIRS
COMMITTEE AND ALSO THE ANTI
DEFAMATION LEAGUE.
I SO THE THE THE CURRENT
CONCERNS AS MANY OF YOU KNOW
BECAUSE UNIVERSITIES EXPERIENCED.
EXPERIENCING INCREASED
POLARIZATION.
AMONG THE STUDENT BODY THERE'S
BEEN AN UPTICK IN RECRUITING OF
COLLEGE STUDENTS BY WHITE
SUPREMACIST GROUPS THERE'S BEEN
INCREASING USE. OF THE HECKLER'S
VETO THERE'S BEEN VIOLENCE THIS
THUG SILENCE CONTROVERSIAL
SPEAKERS ON BOTH SIDES.
OF THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM HAVE
BEEN INVITED TO CAMPUS.
AND I YEAH THERE'S TENSION THEIR
ATTENTION ON OUR CAMPUSES AND SO
WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WAYS
TO GIVE UNIVERSITIES AND
COLLEGES THE TOOLS THEY NEED. TO
HELP ADDRESS AT SOME OF THESE
TENSIONS AND SO THE IDEA IS THAT
TRAINING WOULD BE OFFERED TO YOU.
ADMINISTRATORS FACULTY STAFF
STUDENT LEADERS. AND THIS IS
DONE BY THE ANTI DEFAMATION
LEAGUE HAS BEEN AND GONE OF WHAT.
THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE ONE OF
THE GROUPS THAT PROVIDES A SORT
OF PROGRAMMING. ARE BUT THAT
SOME OF THE GOALS WOULD INVOLVE
ENSURING THAT THE MARKETPLACE OF
IDEAS THRIVE. TEACHING OUR YOUNG
FOLKS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF
FREE SPEECH ENSURING
DECISIONMAKING SAFEGUARDS FREE
SPEECH IN ACADEMIC FREEDOM.
OFFER FOLKS OF EVERY POLITICAL
PERSPECTIVE AN IDEOLOGY. WORKING
TOWARD AN INCLUSIVE CAMPUS
CLIMATE THAT PROMOTES THE
WELFARE OF EACH MEMBER OF THE
COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDING THE
ESCALATION OF HATE AND ITS
IMPLICATIONS.
OUR THE ROLE OF THE CAMPUS
ADMINISTRATION THE RESPONSE TO
INTERPRET PREVENTION OF
EXPRESSIONS OF HATE.
AND THE IDEA IS A TRAINING WILL
PROVIDE PRACTICAL TOOLS THAT
WOULD HELP CAMPUSES PREPARE
ACTIONS.
ACTION PLANS THAT WOULD CONCERN
WHAT TYPES OF INCIDENTS ARE CAR
OCCURRING IN OTHER CAMPUSES WHAT
ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE REPORTING
MECHANISMS WHITE. MESSAGING
PROGRAMMING AND CAMPAIGNS MAKE
AN IMPACT IN RESPONDING TO
PREVENTING HATE BIAS AND BIGOTRY.
ARE THE IDEAS THAT THE BUDGET
REQUEST WILL FIND FIVE REGIONAL
TRAININGS ACROSS THE STATE. AND
THEN AN IN DEPTH TRAINING AT A
TOTAL SIX CAMPUSES THAT THE
CAMPUSES AROUND THE STATE CAN.
CAN ACCESS AND I'M JOINED IN
THIS REQUEST BY OUR COLLEAGUES I

MAR VISTA HIGH SCHOOL. THIS IS A
PULITZER EIGHT THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED STUDENTS AND THOUSAND

WE GOT SOME GOOD NEWS THOUGHT
TODAY FROM OUR ATTORNEY GENERAL
THAT INTENDS TO. PURSUE SOME
ACTION AGAINST THE IWC FOR THE.
DISCHARGE OF RAW SEWAGE INTO THE
PALE BEACH COASTLINE.
REPEAL BEACH HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE
OF THE MOST AFFORDABLE CLOTHES
COSTA PLACES TO LIVE IN.
CITY OF CALIFORNIA PRECISELY FOR
THE REASON THAT THERE'S SO MUCH
ARE DUMPING OF RAW SEWAGE INTO
THE BEACH THAT. MOST OF THE TIME
THE BEACH IS NOT ACCESSIBLE FOR
SWIMMERS AND SURFERS TO DIRECT
CREATE.
THAT'S WHY THIS POOL IS OF SUCH
IMPORTANCE.
TO THIS THE CITY.
HOW THE CURRENT POOL LAXITY A
COMPLIANCE AND PROPOSES A
POTENTIAL HAZARDS TO STUDENTS
AND RESIDENTS?
AS AS A RESULT THE POOL BE
FORCED TO CLOSE AND THIS WILL
ELIMINATE A VERY IMPORTANT
RECREATIONAL.
RESOURCE FOR THE PEOPLE THIS
COMMUNITY.
THIS IS IMPERIAL BEACH IS NUMBER
ONE ASK THIS OF THEIR ASKING OUR
STATE TO COME IN AND HELP. WITH
THIS FUNDING PER BEACH IS ONE OF
THOSE CITIES IT'S NOT ONLY
AFFORDABLE BECAUSE OF LOW
PROPERTY VALUES BECAUSE OF THAT
THE COASTLINE CONTAMINATION.
BUT THEY'RE ALSO THE CITY
THERE'S BEEN HAD VERY VERY HARD
BY THE DISSOLUTION OF
REDEVELOPMENT THOSE WERE
IMPORTANT FUNDS TO FUND APART
PROJECTS LIKE THIS WERE ASKING

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF POLICY AND
PARTNERSHIPS FOR THINK TOGETHER.
THING TOGETHER IS A NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION THAT OPERATES OVER
THREE HUNDRED ACES PROGRAMS
AFTER SCHOOL EDUCATION AND
SAFETY PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA.
WE OPERATE IN AND ALAMEDA
COUNTY SANTA CLARA COUNTY SAN
MATEO LOS ANGELES RIVERSIDE SAN
BERNARDINO. AND SAN DIEGO
COUNTIES AS WELL AS ORANGE
COUNTY.
WHERE WE ARE HEADQUARTERED?
SO AS YOU KNOW LAST YEAR.
.
THE.
THE LEGISLATURE.
AUGMENTED THE ACES
APPROPRIATION BY FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS AYE WE MADE A ONE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR REQUEST
LAST YEAR IN THE AND THERE WAS A
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS THAT WERE
AND THAT WAS ALLOCATED. AND WE
ARE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THAT IS
THAT IS.
WHAT KEPT US OPEN?
?
BUT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT.
THAT WAS ONLY A NINE PERCENT
INCREASE INTHE.
IN THE PREPARATION FOR ASUS
ROGRAMS AND. THE MINIMUM WAGE
HAS GONE UP THIRTY EIGHT PERCENT
IN THE SAME IT OVER THE SAME
PERIOD OF TIME. COST OF LIVING
IS RAISED OVER TWENTY FIVE
PERCENT DURING THE MONTH THAT
AMOUNT OF TIME.
AND.
.
FIRST HOWEVER AS A POINT OF
COMPARISON.
RATES FOR PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS
HAVE INCREASED FORTY SIX PERCENT.
OVER THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME
AND SO.
.
HOW DO WE WERE IT TO?
THE WEB DESCRIBE IT A VERY
SIMPLY IS THAT WE CAME TO YOU
LAST YEAR.
WE WERE UNDER WATER THE WATER
LEVEL WAS HERE WE WERE DROWNING.
THAT FIFTY MILLION GOT THE
WATER LEVEL.
TO HEAR.
AND SO I WHEN THE MINIMUM WAGE
BUMPS AGAIN IN JANUARY WE'RE
GONNA BE BACK UNDERWATER ONCE
AGAIN AND AT THE RISK OF CLOSURE.
THEIR FOUR HUNDRED OR FOUR
THOUSAND PROGRAMS ACROSS THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA THAT SERVE
FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND STUDENTS.
AND THE STUDENTS ARE AMONG THE
MOST UNDERSERVED.
IN CALIFORNIA IF THESE PROGRAMS
DID CLOSE THERE REALLY WOULD BE
NO ALTERNATIVE.
FOR THESE FAMILIES IS THAT
THEY'RE NOT INTENDED TO BE CHILD
CARE PROGRAMS BUT THEY CERTAINLY
SERVE A CHILD CARE FUNCTION FOR
THESE FAMILIES. AND THE WOULD BE
NO ALTERNATIVE IF THESE PROGRAMS
WERE CLOSED SO. WE I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST A SEVENTY
SIX MILLION DOLLAR INCREASE IN
THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND MISS
LEYVA YOU WANNA SAY ME TOO RIGHT.
ME TOO VERY QUICKLY WE KNOW THAT
IF OUR YOUNG CHILDREN DON'T HAVE
SOMEPLACE TO GO AFTER SCHOOL
THEY WILL FIND SOMETHING TO DO
IT WON'T BE WHAT WE WANT THEM TO
DEAL WITH A TO FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION THANK YOU THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING A
FARMER'S JACKSON YOU. WANT TO
PRESENT YOUR PROPOSAL ITEM ONE
H..
UNDISTINGUISHED AFTER SCHOOL YOU
CAN GO RIGHT FROM THERE IF YOU
WANT.
MORE EASY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
THANK YOU MISTER SURE WELL I'M
HEARING ABOUT WONDERFUL PROGRAMS
THAT ARE ASKING FOR MODEST
AMOUNTS OF MONEY A MILLION
DOLLARS OR WHAT HAVE YOU AND. IN
OTHERS THAT WILL ADDRESS A VERY-IMPORTANT ISSUES AYE. I COME
HERE WITH A REQUEST FOR SIXTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THINK I
SHOULD. RECONSIDER THE THE
MODEST AMOUNT OF MONEY BUT
NONETHELESS THIS IS A ONE TIME
FUNDING FOR THE DISTINGUISHED
AFTER SCHOOL HEALTH RECOGNITION
PROGRAM WHICH WE CALL DASH.
FOR ITS OPERATING COSTS FOR THE
UPCOMING TWENTY EIGHTEEN TWENTY
NINETEEN ACADEMIC YEAR.
I FIRST.
GOT INVOLVED WITH THE CREATION
OF THIS PROGRAM WORKING WITH THE
YMCA THAT HAD GOTTEN A GRANT
FROM THE ROBERT WOOD FOUNDATION
TO TRY TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS.
OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY IN OTHER
LACK OF HEALTH OF CONSIDERATIONS
THAT WERE IMPACTING OUR YOUTH
AND OUR PARTICULARLY OUR YOUNG
KIDS SO.
THAT WE KNOW THAT TODAY
CALIFORNIA IS EXPERIENCING AN
EPIDEMIC OF CHILDHOOD OBESITY IN
FACT ACCORDING TO TWENTY FIFTEEN
STUDY BY THE UCLA. CENTER FOR
HEALTH POLICY RESEARCH OBESITY
RATES AMONG SIX TO NINETEEN YEAR
OLDS ARE APPROXIMATELY THIRTY
FIVE PERCENT.
SO MORE THAN ONE IN THREE OF OUR
CHILDREN AND WE KNOW THAT UP
THESE ALARMING HIGH RATES FOR
SHADOW LONG TERM NEGATIVE HEALTH
IMPACTS FOR OUR YOUTH
PARTICULARLY. PARTICULARLY IN
OUR LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES WITH
HEALTHCARE COSTS THAT ARE
ESTIMATED TO REACH AS HIGH AS
ABOUT FIFTY
SIX
BILLION DOLLARS AND. I IF WE CAN
PREVENT THOSE CONDITIONS FROM
HAPPENING. US SAVE THOSE
FUNDS AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE.
THAT THESE HEALTH PROBLEMS
IMPACT. OF SIXTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF
MONEY THIS A PROGRAM IS SERVED
AS A CRITICAL CATALYST TOWARDS
ADDRESSING CALIFORNIA'S ALARMING
RATES. AND IT SERVES TO
HIGHLIGHT EXISTING AFTER SCHOOL
PROGRAMS THAT DISPLAY A STRONG
COMMITMENT TOWARD PROMOTING
HEALTHY EC EXERCISE AND EATING.
SO IN ORDER TO OBTAIN DASH
CERTIFICATION AFTER SCHOOL
PROGRAMS HAVE TO PROVIDE REGULAR
AND ONGOING NUTRITION EDUCATION
CURRICULUM.
THEY HAVE TO ALLOW AN AVERAGE OF
THIRTY TO SIXTY MINUTES OF DAILY
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LIMIT THE TIME
IN FRONT OF A TELEVISION AND
COMPUTERS OF SCREEN ELICITS FOR
HOMEWORK. ARM AND PROVIDE SAFE
AND HEALTHY DRINKING WATER AND
HEALTHY FOOD OPTIONS NOW WE'VE
ALREADY HAD TWO HUNDRED PROGRAMS
THAT ARE CREDITED FOR THIS WE
THINK WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF
REACHING MORE THAN A MILLION AND
A HALF. OF SCHOOL CHILDREN TO
PARTICIPATE IN THESE PROGRAMS I
KNOW YOU WANT ME TO. ENDED HERE
YES THIS IS THE BEST BANG FOR
YOUR BUCK TO PREVENT CHILDHOOD
OBESITY AND WITHOUT I WOULD
REQUEST THE CONSIDERATION OF
THIS MISSION.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT
FORWARD AYE IS ON THE LIST THANK
YOU SENATOR PRADA WE'RE GONNA GO
TO YOU. AND FORMER PROTON.
AND YOU ARE PRESENTING ITEM ONE
YOU ON THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA.
CENTER FOR CANCER AGING.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AT.%
MEMBERS.
WHEN I WAS HERE AND WE DIDN'T
HAVE ANY MEMBER REQUEST AS WE
HAVE ANY MONEY. SO I
CONGRATULATE YOU TO THE DEATH
YOUR GOOD FORTUNE.
I AM HERE.
PRO BONO AND THEM THAT WORKING
ON A PROJECT THAT I STARTED IN
TWO THOUSAND.
WHEN GRAY DAVIS WAS GOVERNOR AND
HE DID WHICH I THOUGHT WAS THE
BEST THING HE DID IN HIS
ADMINISTRATION.
HE STOOD UP PUT FORTY MILLION
DOLLARS INTO THE.
CALIFORNIA INSTITUCIONES
ADVOCATE OVATION AND SUBSEQUENT
TO THAT TIME.
OF THERE HAVE BEEN.
.
YEAH A LOT OF MONEY FOR A LIVE
VERY LITTLE MONEY IN EXCHANGE.
BIGGEST PROBLEM WE HAVE IS
OPERATIONAL MONEY.
BOND MONEY IS YOU KNOW IS GOOD
FOR BRICKS AND MORTAR.
AND WHAT WE FOUND WE HAVE ONE OF
THE BEST UNIVERSITY IN THE
UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA'S BY FAR
ONE OF THE GREATEST.
SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONS
AND ON THIS BUILDING WE SPEND A
LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT ACCESS
OF UNIVERSITY AND THINGS OF THAT
NATURE. BUT IT IS THE THE
DRIVING ARM OF US SCIENCE IS IN
THIS STATE IS UC TEMPTED TO BE
PROUD OF.
THIS CAME OUT OF A NUMBER OF
RESEARCH PROJECTS OVER THE YEARS
AND THAT IS THEY ARE BEGINNING
TO DISCOVER THAT CANCER.
AND AGING TWO OF MY FAVORITE
TOPICS.
ARE RIGHT NOW BEGINNING TISSUE
SAMPLES ARE BEGINNING TO SHOW
EVIDENCE OF COMMONALITY.
AND SO THE IDEA CAME STE COMES
TO MIND RATHER THAN HAVING
PARALLEL COURSES BEING TRAVELED
Y. NOT MERGE THEM. INTO A SINGLE
CENTER WHERE YOU CAN HAVE NOTS
ONLY COLLABORATION WHICH YOU
ACTUALLY HAVE A SET OF
SCIENTISTS HAVE MULTI
DISCIPLINES WORKING TOGETHER.
THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS YOU CAN GET
PHILANTHROPIC MONEY YOU CAN GET
PRIVATE MONEY YOU CAN GET
EVERYBODY WANTS TO GIVE BURDEN
IN THE BUILDING AFTER YOU GO TO.
MISSION THERE THAT NEW BUILDING
THERE'S IS THAT THE BILLION
DOLLAR BUILDING.
OF FORD NERO.
PSYCHOLOGICAL RESEARCH
IT WILL BE EMPTY BECAUSE THERE'S
NO MONEY.
PUT ANYBODY INSIDE.
THIS SIXTY MILLION IS A CATALYST
ITSELF I'VE NOT COULD INSULT
YOUR INTELLIGENCE PEOPLE SAY

WITH OUR MONEY HERE THIS A COST
SAVER.

THANK YOU SIR GOOD MORNING
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS GOING TO
LOOK AT ALL I AM SEIU LOCAL NINE
NINE. PRESIDENT.
ANA IS HERE YOU REPRESENT SOME
OF THE LARGEST CONCENTRATION OF
CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES IN
CALIFORNIA.
CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES DO THE
ESSENTIAL WORK THAT KEEP OUR
SCHOOLS RUNNING.
OUR MEMBERS PROVIDE VITAL
EDUCATIONAL SUPPORT SCHOOL
SAFETY SERVICES.
KEEP SCHOOLS CLEAN TECHNICAL
ADMINISTRATIVE LANGUAGE SUPPORT
AND CAFETERIA SERVICES.
DESPITE THE ROLE AS THE SCHOOL'S
BACKBONE CLASSIFIED SCHOOL
EMPLOYEES MEDIAN SALARY IS
ELEVEN TO SIXTEEN DOLLARS AN
HOUR.
THESE WAGES OFTEN.
MEAN WORKERS ARE LIVING PAYCHECK
TO PAYCHECK.
ONE THIRD OF CLASSIFIED
EMPLOYEES ARE THE SOLE INCOME
PROVIDER AND TO DO FORCE OF
CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES LIVE IN
RENT OVERBURDENED AREAS.
WHERE MORE THAN PART THIRTY
PERCENT OF THEIR INCOME GOES TO
RENT?
CLASSIFIED SCHOOL EMPLOYEES
RECEIVE AN AVERAGE STARTING
SALARY THAT IS THREE TIMES LOWER
THAN STARTING ADMINISTRATORS
CERTIFICATED AND FACULTY.
UNLIKE OUR PEERS MANY CLASSIFIED
EMPLOYEES SIMPLY DO NOT MAKE
ENOUGH TO HAVE OUR PAYCHECKS
SPREAD OUT OVER TWELVE MONTHS.
DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EMPLOYEES
FIND THEMSELVES WITHOUT WORK AND
BARRED FROM ACCESSING
UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS.
MANY CLASSIFIED WORKERS TURN TO
FOOD BANKS
MAXING OUT CREDIT CARDS OR
RELYING ON SOCIAL SERVICES.
THE CLASSIFY WORKERS.
SUMMER FUN ALLOWS EMPLOYEES TO
PARTICIPATE IN A PROGRAM. THAT
PREVENTS THEM FROM HOMELESSNESS
HUNGER AND EXTREME POVERTY
DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS.
OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS SEIU
HAS RUN LEGISLATION TO EXTEND
YOU AYE BENEFITS TO CLASSIFIED
SCHOOL EMPLOYEES. DREW
UNEMPLOYMENT TO AYE EMPLOYMENT
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.
AND TWENTY SIXTEEN AB TWENTY ONE

INTERNAL CONVERSATIONS
SUGGESTING A NON BILL PATH.
IN THE LIGHT OF OUR EFFORTS WITH
AB SIX TWO ONE WE ARE LOOKING TO
LIMIT THE PROPOSAL TO A SHORT
TERM PILOT PROJECT.
USING ONE TIME DOLLARS TO FUND A
FIVE YEAR VERSION.
OF THE INITIAL PROPOSAL.
THE CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEE SUMMER
FUN MAINTAINS THE COST OF OF
WORKERS CONTRIBUTING A PORTION
OF THEIR PAYCHECK.
TO MEET THE THRESHOLD TO
PARTICIPATE.
HAS ZERO IMPACT ON ET DE AND
CURRENT INSOLVENCY OF THE
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE FUND IF
YOU COULD CONCLUDE THAT THE
GREAT THEY'VE.
SO WE ARE REQUESTING A HUNDRED
MILLION TO FUND A PROGRAM FOR
FIVE YEARS TO ONE TIME DOLLARS.

APPROXIMATELY TWELVE TO TWENTY
FIVE MILLION ANNUALLY.

.
THE HEARING TODAY AND THE LETTER
SUPPORT PUBLISHED BY THE
DEPARTMENT. YESTERDAY IN SUPPORT
OF THIS FUNDING AND IS A VERY
POSITIVE DEVELOPMENTS I JUST
WANT TO. THANK YOU FOR HEARING
US AND ALSO.
THINK THE DEPARTMENT FOR
PUBLISHING NOT LETTER.
AS YOU KNOW THIS ITEM IS FOR A
MERE SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS.
BUT SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION IS
A CRITICAL ISSUE FOR OUR STATES
YOUTH.
TWENTY EIGHTEEN.
THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
RECEIVED FEDERAL FUNDING FROM
THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL.
SPECIFICALLY THEIR DIVISION OF
ADOLESCENT SCHOOL HEALTH KNOWN
AS DASH.
ON THIS FUNDING ALLOWED CD TO
PLAY AN ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP
ROLE IN SUPPORTING LOCAL
EDUCATION AGENCIES.
AND THIS PROVIDES BODY PROVIDE
SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS WITH SEXUAL
HEALTH AN S. T. I. IT SHOULD BE
PREVENTION EDUCATION.
THESE EFFORTS ALSO INCLUDE
COORDINATING WITH OTHER STATE.
ENTITIES THAT PROMOTE
ADOLESCENT HEALTH ON INCLUDING
THE HEALTH AND SAFETY LGBTQ
STUDENTS.
THE PASSAGE OF THE CALIFORNIA
HEALTHY YOU THOUGHTS ON CHAU
THING TWENTY FIFTEEN MADE THIS
LEADERSHIP ROLE THAT THE
DEPARTMENT HAS. AN EVEN MORE
IMPORTANT. UNFORTUNATELY AS PART
OF THE CDC'S BUDGET CUTS UNDER
THE CURRENT FEDERAL
ADMINISTRATION.
DASH ANNOUNCED IN FEBRUARY THAT
IT WOULD NO LONGER FUNDS STATE
EDUCATION.
AGENCIES INCLUDING OUR
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
THIS FUNDING IS GOING TO
DISAPPEAR IN JULY ESSENTIALLY
CUTTING TWO POSITIONS. ON A CD
JEOPARDIZING OUR PROGRESS
THAT WE'VE MADE THAT YOU'RE
AWARE OF AND PROVIDING STUDENTS.
I'M A COMPREHENSIVE SEXUAL
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH EDUCATION
WHICH IS NOT REQUIRED BY LAW.
IN THE PAST DECADE. UNPLANNED
PREGNANCY AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE IN
CALIFORNIA HAS FALLEN TO RECORD
LOWS.
IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS
FOLLOWING THE ENACTMENT OF CHINA.
THE PERCENTAGE OF SEXUALLY
ACTIVE STUDENTS IN CALIFORNIA
USE BIRTH CONTROL HAS INCREASED.
.
SO THIS IS IT'S INEFFECTIVE
POLICY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
ALL THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.
THAT IS.
NEEDED LOCALLY IS AVAILABLE
FROM THE DEPARTMENT.
I JUST WANT TO MENTION.
.
IT WE WE HAVE SEEN AMONG OUR
AFFILIATES WHO PROVIDE SEXUAL
EDUCATION RESOURCES BY TRAINING
TRAINERS AND ALSO.
PROVIDING INSTRUCTION IN
SCHOOLS AND WE REACH BUT OF THE
AFFILIATES OF REACH HUNDREDS OF
CALLS ON THE STATE WE'VE SEEN AN
INCREASED DEMAND IN THESE
SERVICES. AND SO NOW IS SIMPLY
NOT THE TIME TO LOSE THIS
FUNDING AND SUPPORT FROM THE
DEPARTMENT THANKS VERY MUCH
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THANK
YOU FOR HEARING IT. THANK YOU
IT'S N THE LIST IT'S A LOT OF
THE PROJECT AND FOR SHE
PRESENTING IT TODAY ABSOLUTELY
THANK YOU ALRIGHT WE'RE GOING TO
GO BACK TO OUR.
ITEM ONE.
HE I BELIEVE IS FOR WE LEFT OFF.
AND I'M GONNA TURN THE GAVEL
OVER.
TO MY A VICE CHAIR AND I KNOW
SENATOR BILL HAS A SURROGATE
PRESENTING ONE OF HIS PROJECTS
AND WE MIGHT BE WAVING
PRESENTATION ON THE OTHER WHICH.
YOU JUST SOMEBODY'LL JUST SAY
IT'S ON THE LIST THEY'LL HELP
YOU AND I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
WHEN YOU HAVE THE FLOOR HIGH
pPOLICY ADVOCATES AND I'M JOINED
BY MY CHILD CARE PARTNERS ACROSS
THE STATE REPRESENT THOUSANDS.
OF CHILDREN AND HUNDREDS OF
FAMILY CHILDCARE PROVIDERS I
KNOW I AM SPEAKING TO THE CHOIR
WHEN I SAY THAT NO INVESTMENT
YIELDS AS GREAT OF A RETURN. AS
OUR INVESTMENT IN EDUCATION ON
FOOT IT AS WE'VE BEEN STARTING
TO RE BUILD THE FOUNDATION FOR
OUR EARLY CARE EDUCATION SYSTEM.
EVEN MISSING A REALLY CRITICAL
ELEMENTS AND I'M HERE TODAY TO
ASK YOU THAT. AS YOU EXPLORE
FUNDING PRIORITIES FOR EARLY
EDUCATION THAT YOU BRING BACK
THE BASIC.
WITH JUST ONE ACTION WE CAN
HELP TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR-YOUNGEST LEARNERS HAVE ACCESS TO
THE FOOD THAT THEY NEED TO ENTER
SCHOOL READY TO LEARN.
AND THAT WE DON'T SHORT CHANGE
ARE EFFORTS TO INCREASE FUNDING
FOR A CHILD CARE WORKFORCE BY
NOT FUNDING FOOD IN CHILDCARE.
I'M SIX YEARS AGO CHILDCARE
PROVIDERS LOS ACCESS TO THE
RESOURCES THAT THEY NEED TO PUT
FOOD ON THE TABLE. FOR OUR
YOUNGEST CHILDREN FOR OVER
THIRTY FIVE YEARS CALIFORNIA
ACTUALLY SUPPLEMENTED THE COST
OBSERVING HEALTHY MEALS AND
HEALTHCARE TO LOW INCOME
CHILDREN BUT IN TWO THOUSAND
TWELVE THE HEIGHT OF THE
RECESSION THAT FUNDING GOT CUT.
AND AFTER THAT CUT THOUSANDS OF
CHILDREN LOS ACCESS TO HEALTHY
MEALS BECAUSE. FAMILY CHILDCARE
PROVIDERS DIDN'T HAVE THE
FUNDING THAT THEY NEEDED TO
CONTINUE SERVING FOOD.
OTHER FAMILY CHILDCARE
PROVIDERS WHO WERE MORE RESOURCE
THEY HAVE TO CUT INTO THEIR
ALREADY LIMITED BUDGETS TO BE
ABLE TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE.
TOUGH YOUR PROVIDERS THEY WANT
TO HELP THE CHILDREN AND THEIR
CARE THEY CARE FOR OUR YOUNG
CHILDREN THEY TREAT THEM LIKE
FAMILY. I'M AND WHAT COMES OF
FOOD.
THEY DO THE SAME UP BUT THE
REALITY IS THAT FAMILY CHILDCARE
PROVIDERS ARE OFTEN VERY LOW
INCOME THEMSELVES.
THEY. IN ORDER TO KEEP THEIR
DOORS OPEN FOR OUR MOST
VULNERABLE CHILDREN OFTEN HALF
TIME TO GET STATE SUPPORT.
SO WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE ADEQUATE
FUNDING TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE
THEY OFTEN ARE PULLING FROM
OTHER PARTS OF THEIR RD LIMITED
BUDGETS.
SINCE THE RECESSION RC HAS MEEK
AND STRATEGIC INVESTMENTS I JUST
WANT TO ASK YOU TO TO SUPPORT
FOOD AND CHILDCARE THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
BRINGS US I SEE THAT WE HAD
CENTER BELT EVERY STEPPED OUT
CENTER WILL.
LEAVE YOUR ITEM ONE ARE.
YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES.
THEN I WILL READ FAST THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR AND I APPRECIATE
THE COMMITTEE ALLOWING ME THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PERCENT. SO FOR
YOUR CONSIDERATION I HAVE A
BUDGET REQUEST TO DIRECT ONE
MILLION DOLLARS OF GENERAL FUND
MONIES. HIS PORTA COORDINATOR
AND STAFF ASSISTANT POSITIONS ON
THE CAMPUS OF AND A VALLEY
COLLEGE.
THE STAFF POSITIONS ARE NEEDED
TO DIRECT OVERSEE A SUPPORT THE
CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE FOR
AEROSPACE WHICH WILL BE HOUSED
IN AL BALLOT WHICH IS CONSIDERED
AEROSPACE VALLEY. AND AEROSPACE
INSTITUTE WOULD BRING INDUSTRY
EXPERTS ACADEMIC AND RESEARCH
LEADERS IN ENGINEERING PHYSICS
AND OTHER SCIENCES. AND STUDENTS
AT THE GRADUATE AND POSTGRADUATE
LEVEL.
CALIFORNIA AEROSPACE DIRECTLY
SUPPLIES OVER HALF MILLION
MORTGAGE PAYING JOBS IN
CALIFORNIA WITH AN INDUSTRY
AVERAGE OF SLIGHTLY OVER A
HUNDRED THOUSAND PER YEAR.
WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
FUNDING OF THIS INITIATIVE WE
CAN PRESERVE EVEN GROW THOSE
NUMBERS.
THE INSTITUTE WOULD BE
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO TRAIN
THE NEXT GENERATION OF AEROSPACE
ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS.
SO THEY CAN GO ON TO CONTINUE TO
PURSUE THEIR CAREERS HERE IN
CALIFORNIA.
WE HAVE SOME OF THE MOST
TALENTED YOUNG MINDS. IT IN OUR
STATE IS CRITICAL THAT WE
PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES CLOSE TO HOME. THE
END THAT WE AFFORD THEM UNIQUE
OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE NOWHERE
ELSE IN THE WORLD.
IT'S ANTICIPATED THAT SEVERAL
MILLION WILL BE CONTRIBUTED FROM
THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND SO THE
STATE'S MOTTO SHARES HIS MORE
THAN FAIR. IT WILL BE MORE THAN
REPAID IN REVENUE OVER THE LONG
HAUL BY PRESERVING CALIFORNIA'S
PLACE AS THE HOME OF HIS VITAL
INDUSTRY.
CALIFORNIA'S AEROSPACE
INDUSTRIES CONTRIBUTIONS ARE
WELL KNOWN NOT ONLY DO THEY
REPRESENT ECONOMIC SECTOR LARGER
THAN AGRICULTURE IN THE
ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY COMBINED.
BUT THE BROADEST SUCH
INNOVATIONS SPENDING FROM KIDNEY
DIALYSIS LED LIGHTING AND SOLAR
PANELS.
ASKING THE STATE TO CONTRIBUTE A
MODEST ALLOCATION TEN AEROSPACE
INSTITUTE IS ASKING THE STATE TO
SIMPLY INVEST IN ITS OWN FUTURE.
THROUGH THAT THAT THE FUTURE
THIS IMPORTANT INDUSTRY IT IS
INVESTMENTS THAT WILL PAY
DIVIDENDS LONG AFTER WE'VE ALL
LEFT OFFICE IN SHE'D WE'D BE
REMISS IF WE PASS UP THIS
OPPORTUNITY. IDEA THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR LISTENING.

WE'RE GOOD OKAY.
OKAY SO YOU END.
I'M A A BIGGER CENTER BELL.
OKAY YOUR TIME'S UP.
WHEN WE JUST START OVER HERE
PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR NAME AND.
LET'S.
STOPPED BE SAID START. START
YOUR NAME PLEASE MY NAME IS
DEBBIE RUSSIA.
I AM WITH JOHN BURTON ADVOCATES
FOR USE AND I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON
BEHALF OF SENATOR BELLS REQUEST
FOR FOUR POINT EIGHT MILLION
DOLLARS TO EXPAND THE CAL GRANT
FOR FOSTER YOUTH.
BUT THE POINT THAT THEY ENTER
COLLEGE FOSTER YOUTH HAVE FACED
FAR MORE ADVERSITY THAN OTHER
STUDENTS THIS OFTEN INCLUDE
SEVERE ABUSE OR NEGLECT BY THEIR
BIOLOGICAL FAMILIES. THE
DISRUPTION THAT OCCURS UPON
REMOVAL FROM THE HOME FREQUENT
MOVES BETWEEN PLACEMENTS IN
SCHOOLS WHILE IN FOSTER CARE.
THIS DRAMA IMPACTS NOT ONLY
ACADEMIC PREPAREDNESS BUT ALSO
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL READINESS FOR
THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE AND OFTEN
RESULTS IN BOTH DELAYED ENTRY
INTO COLLEGE AND LONGER TIME TO
COMPLETION THAN OTHER STUDENTS.
BY AGE TWENTY SIX FOSTER YOUTH
ARE THREE HUNDRED PERCENT MORE
LIKELY TO BE LIVING IN POVERTY.
FORTY NINE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO
BE INCARCERATED AND FORTY SIX
PERCENT OF FOSTER YOUTH ARE
RELYING ON PUBLIC BENEFITS.
IN CONTRAST IS THREE PERCENT
WILL HAVE EARNED BACHELOR'S
DEGREE.
A KEY FACTOR CONTRIBUTING TO
THIS LACK OF EDUCATIONAL
ATTAINMENT IS A FOSTER YOU DO
NOT RECEIVE FOR THE FINANCIAL
AID TO WHICH THEY'RE ENTITLED.
MOST NOTABLY THE CAL GRANT.
FOR FOSTER YOUTH ATTENDING
COMMUNITY COLLEGE JUST NINE
PERCENT RECEIVE A CAL GRANT
DESPITE EIGHTY FIVE PERCENT
MEETING THE INCOME CRITERIA.
WITH THIS ADDITIONAL FUNDING
OVER TWENTY TWO HUNDRED FOSTER
YOUTH WOULD GAIN ACCESS TO THE
CAL GRANT ANNUALLY LEADING TO
GREATER DEGREE ATTAINMENT
INCREASED INCOME AND IMPROVE JOB
STABILITY.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE COST OF
THESE NEW GRANTS WOULD
ULTIMATELY BE OFFSET BY THE
INCREASED TAX REVENUES FROM THE
RESULT IN INCREASED A FOST USE
INCOME AS WELL AS COST SAVINGS
FROM REDUCED RELIANCE. BY FOSTER
YOUTH ON PUBLIC BENEFITS AND
DECREASES TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE
INVOLVEMENT.
IN ADDITION THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA HAS A UNIQUE
OBLIGATION TOWARDS THE STUDENTS
HAVE BEEN TAKING ON
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CARE
AND BECOMING THEIR DE FACTO
PARENT.
THE BUDGET ALLOCATION WILL BE A
WISE AND PRUDENT USE OF STATE
FUNDS AND INVESTMENT NOT ONLY IN
OUR MOST VULNERABLE STUDENTS.
BUT IN THE OVERALL WELL BEING OF
THE STATE I URGE YOU TO SUPPORT
THIS REQUEST THEM OUT WOULD
SHARE THAT ASSEMBLY MEMBER. MAIN
SHIRE ASSEMBLY MEMBER LACKEY AND
SENATOR GALGIANI HAS ALSO SIGNED
ON TO THIS REQUEST.
TO MINISTRY SECONDS VERY
GOODNESS RUSSIA.
TIED SENATOR WILL THAT TAKES US

WE KNOW THAT SCHOOLS HAVE UNIQUE
OPPORTUNITY TO INFLUENCE THE
WELLNESS AND ACHIEVEMENT OF
CHILDREN AND THE BENEFITS OF
COORDINATED STE.
SCHOOL HEALTH APPROACHES ARE
CLEAR.
STUDY AFTER STUDY FOUND A SCHOOL
BASED PROGRAMS BRING ABOUT
POSITIVE CHANGES IN A WIDE RANGE
OF OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN IN FACT
A STATEWIDE EVALUATION OF THE
HEALTHY START GRANTEES. ARE FROM
THE PAST FOUND THAT TEST SCORES
FOR THE LOWEST PERFORMING
SCHOOLS IMPROVE SUBSTANTIALLY
WITH READING STORE SCORES
INCREASING BY TWENTY FIVE
PERCENT AND MATH SCORES BY FIFTY
PERCENT.
OTHER POSITIVE OUTCOMES INCLUDED
DECREASED DRUG USE FEWER
BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS INCREASED
ATTENDANCE AND GREATER PARENT
INVOLVEMENT AND HEALTHY START
SCHOOLS. HOWEVER FUNDING FOR THE
SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM AND IT
COMPLETELY BY TWO THOUSAND AND
SEVEN AND OVER THE LAST DECADE.
MORE MORE SUPPORTS AND SERVICES
HAVE BEEN SILO DOWN TO THE LOCAL
LEVEL.
WITH THESE INCREASE SERVICE
SILOS CHILDREN TOO OFTEN LACK
COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORTS TO
ADDRESS THEIR DEVELOPMENTAL AND
EDUCATIONAL NEEDS. IN FACT EVEN
WITH NINETY SEVEN PERCENT OF
CHILDREN ENROLLED IN HEALTH
COVERAGE IT'S CLEAR THAT.
COVERAGE DOES NOT ARE EQUAL
ACCESS TO CARE AND MANY CHILDREN
ARE FALLING THROUGH THE GAPS.
ARE NOT RECEIVING TH HEALTH AND
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN
PARTICULAR THAT I THAT THEY NEED
SO MUCH.
THIS HEALTHY START PROPOSAL TO
INVEST.
IN MODEST PLANNING GRANTS TO
THE ELEAZAR AGAINST THE CORE
ISSUE MANY SCHOOLS AND
COMMUNITIES ARE FACING HOW WE
INTEGRATE SERVICES SO OUR KIDS
CAN SHOW UP.
SCHOOL READY TO LEARN AND CREATE
MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS THAT LIFT

CARE PROVIDERS THAT WE SERVE AND
SERVICES GONE SANTA COUNTIES.
I'M SERVING OVER TWENTY FIVE
HUNDRED CHILDREN. AS YOU CAN
IMAGINE WITH THE HIGH COST OF
LIVING HERE THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA CAN BE INCREDIBLY
HARD AND EXPENSIVE FOR PROVIDERS
AS WELL AS FAMILIES TO SERVE
FRESH HEALTHY AND NUTRITIOUS
MEAL.
SINCE THE MAJORITY OF OUR
CHILDREN THAT WE SERVE OUR LOW
INCOME THE MEAL THEY RECEIVE
WHILE IN CARE MAY BE THE ONLY
MEAL NUTRITIOUS NUTRITIOUS ARE
NOT THAT THEY RECEIVE THAT DAY.
MANY PROVIDERS ARE DEDICATED TO
OFFERING HIGH QUALITY ORGANIC
FOODS BUT THEY MAY BUT THEY FIND
THAT THEY MAY NEED TO CUT BACK
ON OTHER AREAS OF OPERATIONS.
SUCH AS PAYING STAFF LOWER WAGES
IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE HIGH
COST OF FOOD.
PARTICIPATION IN THAT TALENT ALL
FOOD PROGRAM ACTS AS A GATEWAY
TO A MORE IN DEPTH NUTRITION
EDUCATION AND PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES TO
IMPROVE QUALITY IN CHILDCARE.
AND TO ASK YOU TO INVEST IN
HEALTHY CHILD CARE MEALS IN THE

CERTAIN FOODS EXTRA FUNDING
WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR THE

CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AT NINETY
FIVE PERCENT OF THE FAMILIES. WE
SERVE RECEIVE FREE A REDUCE
COST CHILDCARE AND WE KNOW THAT
CHILDREN WHO EAT NUTRITIOUS.
MEALS DO BETTER BOTH PHYSICALLY
AND ACADEMICALLY AND SO THIS IS
AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR PROGRAM
I'M FOR FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET.
OUT FEDERAL FUNDING FROM THE
CHILD AND ADULT CARE FOOD
PROGRAM UP BUT THE RATES FOR
BREAKFAST ARE REIMBURSED ONLY A
DOLLAR SEVENTY FIVE. AND THEN
FOR LUNCH THREE DOLLARS AND
TWENTY THREE CENTS
SO WE'RE LARGE PROVIDER AND THAT
WE ARE ALSO FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO
HAVE OUR OWN KITCHEN. AT AND BUT
EVEN WITH THAT WE STRUGGLE TO%
MAKE IT WORK SOVIET YOU'VE GOT
TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THE RATES.
HAVE TO COVER THE COSTS FOR
FOOD PREPARATION TRAVEL.
SO THESE ARE AND THEN
ADDITIONALLY THE SAN FRANCISCO
BAY AREA OF COURSE IS A HIGH
COST REGION WHICH CHAT MAKES IT
EVEN MORE DIFFICULT SO. I WE
URGE YOU TO MAKE A FURTHER
INVESTMENT OUT IN THE FUTURE OF
OUR YOUNGEST LEARNERS BY
BRINGING BACK AND THE STATE'S

OKAY THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING

MEMBERS REQUEST AND ALL THE
SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS IS ONE.
EIGHTH THROUGH X..
WE ARE GOING TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC
COMMENT I CAN TAKE ANYMORE
COMMENT ON THOSE.
AND WE'RE GONNA GO. ISSUE ITEM
TWO. ARCADE TWELVE SCHOOL
FACILITIES NOW WITH ITEMS TO.
THREE FOUR.
AND FIVE WE'RE GOING TO DO
PUBLIC COMMENTS.
AT THE END OF ALL OF THOSE FOR
THOSE ITEMS OKAY.
SO WE'RE GONNA RIGHT INTO THIS.
KNOW WHO'S GOING FIRST INTRODUCE
YOURSELF AND TAKE IT AWAY.
JENNIFER CAN ARE LEGEND US
OFFICE AYE WE'RE JUST LAST FRIED
SOME BACKGROUND ON WHAT'S BEEN
GOING ON WITH FACILITIES IN OUR
RECOMMENDATIONS SO AS YOU KNOW
PROP FIFTY ONE. APPROVED BY
VOTERS IN A NOVEMBER TWENTY
SIXTEEN IMPROVE SEVEN BILLION
FOR SCHOOL FACILITIES.
LAST YEAR WAS THE FIRST YEAR THE
STATE APPROPRIATED FUNDS FROM
THE BOND APPROPRIATED FIVE
HUNDRED AND NINETY FOUR MILLION.
THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL FOR THIS
YEAR IS TO ALSO FIND NINE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOUR MILLION
AND PROJECTS SO EFFECTIVELY ON
ABOUT THE TWELVE YEAR SCHEDULE
IF YOU CONTINUE DOING. ROUGHLY
SIX HUNDRED MILLIONA YEAR TO
TAKE TWELVE YEARS TO GET OUT
SEVEN BILLION.
THE OLD RECALL THAT THE STATE
WHEN FROM TWO THOUSAND SIX AND
TAL TWENTY SIXTEEN WITHOUT A
STATE BONDS SO DURING THAT TIME
SCHOOL FACILITY APPLICATIONS
WHERE. I'M ENTERED INTO THE
PIPELINE AS OF MARCH OF THIS
YEAR IS THAT IT'SESTIMATED THAT
THERE'S THREE POINT SIX BILLION
AN OUTSTANDING PROJECTS IN THE
PIPELINE. ABOUT A HUNDRED
MILLION NEW ONCE A MINUTE EACH
MONTH.
SO WE THINK IT COULD TAKE ONE OF
TWO PERSPECTIVES ON THE ISSUE.
ON THE ONE HAND MANY SCHOOLS GO
AHEAD IN FRONT OF THE CASH AND
BUILD THE PROJECT.
AND IN THE IF YOU ARE TO THINK
THIS IS THE CASE A ALTHOUGH IS
NOT THE CASE FOR ALL SCHOOL
DISTRICTS FOR MOST MID SIZE AND
LARGE SCHOOL DISTRICTS THERE.
BUT I'M.
THEY'RE ABLE TO GO AHEAD AND
BUILD THE PROJECT WAIT FOR THE
STATE CASH BUT IT DOESN'T AFFECT
THEIR BUILDING PROGRAM IS JUST A
CASH FLOW ISSUE FOR THEM.
IF THIS IS YOUR PERSPECTIVE THEN
YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE
GOVERNOR'S OUT PROPOSAL.
ON THE OTHER HAND IF YOU'RE
CONCERNED THAT THERE'S A LOT OF
PROJECTS IN THE PIPELINE NOT
SOME DISTRICTS CAMP FROM CASH
BUT UNDER THE BOND MEASURE
PROJECTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
CONTINUOUSLY APPROPRIATED. THEN
YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET ON A MORE
EXPEDITED PLAN.
YOU COULD BE ON A FIVE YEAR PLAN
IF YOU'RE ON THE FIVE YEAR PLAN
IT WOULD BE A BILLION AND A HALF
EACH YEAR AS OPPOSED ALMOST
THREE TIMES MORE THAN WHAT THE
GOVERNOR HAS PROPOSED.
WE THINK THAT OKAY SEE HOW
SUFFICIENT STAFF TO PROCESS ONE
AND HALF BILLION APPLICATION
SO RIGHT NOW OPSEU HAS FIFTY TWO.
FULL TIME POSITIONS WHEN WE ARE
WORKING WITH THEM DURING OUR
ANALYSIS INDICATED THAT SEVEN OF
THE POSITIONS WERE DEDICATED TO
PROCESSING WORK AND SEVENTEEN
EIGHTEEN. HAND MILLION I'M SORRY
TIME POSITIONS BUT BE DEDICATED
IN EIGHTEEN NINETEEN.
SO THERE'S FORTY TO OTHER
POSITIONS THAT ARE DOING APPEALS
SOME AUDITING WORK.
ACCOUNTING WORK AN HOUR EACH.
AS A REMINDER LAST YEAR THE
STATE TOOK THE AUDITING
RESPONSIBILITY AND DEVOLVED THAT
FROM.
PSE TO THE LOCAL LEVEL AND IN
DOING NOT GONNA REDUCE OPSEC
STAFF LEVEL.
WE'VE ALSO WORKED WITH THE PSU
TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT AND WHAT A
FULL TIME EMPLOYEE AS PROCESSING
PER MONTH AND LEARNED THAT IT'S
ONE POINT FOUR APPLICATIONS PER
MONTH.
SO WE JUST RENTED CALCULATION
FOR YOU WHAT IF TWELVE OF THE
FIFTY TWO LEFT FILE OUT FULL
TIME POSITIONS ARE OPEN AS HE
DID PROCESS APPLICATIONS. AND
WHAT IF THEY DID A SLIGHT
INCREASE IN THE NUMBER THAT THEY
PROCESSED EACH MONTH TWO
APPLICATIONS I WOULD ARGUE THESE
ARE VERY MODEST ASSUMPTIONS CHO
THAT STILL LEFT IN A QUARTER OF
THE STAFF DURING THE COR
FUNCTION. AND IT STILL TWO
APPLICATIONS FROM AND.
BUT IF YOU DID THAT THEN THEY
COULD PROCESS ONE AND A HALF
BILLION APPLICATION
SO UNDER ONE PERSPECTIVE AGAIN
YOU COULD DO THE FIVE YEAR PLAN
ONE AND HALF BILLION PER YEAR.
DEDICATE ABOUT TWELVE STAFF TO
DOING THAT.
I HAVE AND.
IF YOU.
PATRONAGE SURELY DUMPED
APARTMENT A FINANCE.
BUDGET AFTER TWENTY SEVENTEEN
INCLUDED ADDITIONAL
ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES FOR THE
SCHOOL FACILITIES PROGRAM AS A
CONDITION OF RELEASING BOND
FUNDING FOR THE PROGRAM. SINCE
ENACTMENT THE SALE CATION BIRDS
APPROVED GRANT AGREEMENT SEND
OUT INSTRUCTIONS WERE DEVELOPED
FOR LOCAL AUDITOR'S TO COMPLETE
INDEPENDENT PERFORMANCE AUDITS
TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE.
THIS YEAR'S GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
INCLUDES APPROXIMATELY SIX
HUNDRED FIFTY THREE MILLION
DOLLARS FOR THAT SCHOOL
FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION. AND THE
PROGRAM CONTINUES TO FOCUS ON
PROCESSING APPLICATIONS AS WELL
AS PROVIDING OUTREACH INNOCENCE
A SMALL SCHOOL DISCOGRAPHY.
NEVADA HAPPY TAKING QUESTION.
AFTER LEASES SILVERMAN THE
EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF THE OFFICE
OF RECONSTRUCTION AND DELEGATION
BOARD.
AS YOU HEARD.
MANAGED IMAGE FOR THIS SCHOOL
FACILITIES PROGRAM AND CURRENTLY
WE HAVE SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS.
AS A RESULT OF THE VOTER
APPROVED INITIATIVE JUST RACING
NOVEMBER TWENTY SIXTEEN I'M
WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THAT EVEN
THOUGH WE DO HAVE A SMALL STAFF.
.
STILL OCCASION BOARD HAD TAKE
CARE OF SOME DEEPER POLICY
ISSUES BEFORE THE PROGRAM GOT
STARTED SAID THOSE DEEPER POLICY
ISSUES WHERE I AM.
PUT IN PLACE IN JUNE AND SINCE
THEN WE'VE ACTUALLY AB TAKEN
FORWARD OVER EIGHT HUNDRED
EIGHTY ONE MILLION DOLLARS IN
PROJECT APPROVALS OVER SINCE
LAST TIME SCHEMES FROM JULY
FIRST THROUGH. THE CURRENT
PERIOD SO WE'VE BEEN VERY ACTIVE
IN THE PROGRAM.
THEIR SIX PROGRAMS THAT WE
ADMINISTER THIS NEW CONSTRUCTION
WHICH USE IN THE COR PROGRAM AND
MONETIZATION WHICH IS ALSO A
SUBSET OF THAT CORE PROGRAM.
BUT THIS DOES THE CHARTER SCHOOL
FACILITY PROGRAM THAT WE ALSO
MINISTER OCCUR TECH EDUCATION
PROGRAM.
AND WE ALSO HAVEFACILITY HURT
YOUR PROGRAM WHICH IS YOUR
HEALTH AND SAFETY I PROGRAM
WHICH SHE ACTUALLY HAVE THE
ACCELERATED.
.
WE HAVE ACCELERATED LOTS ABILITY
TO TAKE THOSE PROJECTS UP
FORWARD AT A MUCH EXPERT IP PACE.
I'M IN OUR CORE RESPONSIBILITIES
AS WAS MENTIONED WE HAVE APPEALS
WE HAVE.
REGULATIONS.
YES THE AUDIT FUNCTION HAS BEEN
CHANGED BUT WE STILL HAVE OF
FOUR YEARS WHERE THE WORKLOAD.
IN THAT AREA AND WE HAVE OVER
FIFTY TWO POSITIONS AND AS I
MENTIONED AND I WANTED TO
HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS FIFTY TWO
POSITIONS. RESHARE THERE WAS
ACCOUNTING THERE'S ALSO PROGRAM
AREA WE HAVE ANALYST WE HIRED
EIGHT LAST YEAR IT WAS IN THE
FALL SO WE HAVE A. AGAIN THE
RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTINUE
PROCESS IN THE APPLICATIONS.
THERE HAS BEEN A CHARTER
FACILITY FILING AROUND THAT
ACTUALLY OPENED UP IN FEBRUARY
THAT WAS FIVE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS IT ACTUALLY HAS BEEN
APPROPRIATED. ON FOR THAT
PROGRAM SO EVEN THOUGH THERE
WERE SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS.
FOR THE COR PROGRAM THERE WAS
FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
ALREADY ALLOCATED AND THAT WAS
BECAUSE A STAFF WORK RELATED TO
THESE OTHER PROGRAM AREAS AND WE
ALSO PROCESS. OF TWENTY TWO
MILLION IN FACILITY HARDSHIP
PROGRAMS AND AGAIN THOSE OF THE
HEALTH AND SAFETY PROJECTS THEY
ALSO TAKE A HIGHER PRIORITY. UP
BUT I WANT TO EMPHASIZE SINCE
THEN LIKE AND WE HAVE OVER A
HUNDRED EIGHTY NINE PROJECTS
THAT WERE APPROVED BY STAFF OVER
EIGHT HUNDRED EIGHTY ONE MILLION
DOLLARS.
.
SO WE'VE ACTUALLY DEDICATED I'M
IN THE LATTER HALF OF SEVENTEEN
EIGHTEEN TEN P. WISE TO ACTUALLY
CONTINUE TO PROCESS OF FUNNY
APPLICATIONS BUT THERE ALSO IS A
SUBSET OF THAT FUNDING
APPLICATION THERE'S OF FOLKS
THAT ARE ALSO. A MINISTER IN THE
GRAND ARRAIGNMENTS ALSO DOING
THE CHARTER OF PROGRAM AS FAR AS.
.
INTAKE THERE'S ANOTHER FOLKS
DOING INTAKE AND WE ALSO HAVE
THEM ADDITIONAL MY PROJECTS
WORKING THROUGH A PIPELINE FOR
KERR TECH EDUCATION AND AS WE
HAVE A CURRENT FINALLY AROUND
OPEN RIGHT NOW SO WE. ANTICIPATE
A HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS BEING ALLOCATED IN THE
UPCOMING WEEKS SO WE'VE BEEN
VERY ACTIVE AND VERY BUSY IN THE
PROGRAM. BUT I WANTED TO
HIGHLIGHT.
EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE TWENTY TWO
ANALYST ALLOCATED IN OUR.
IN A ROLE AND FUNCTION THIRTEEN
OF THOSE ANALYSTS HAVE BEEN.
PROCESSING APPLICATIONS SO
THAT'S ABOUT TWENTY ONE PERCENT
OF THE ELIGIBLE WORKFORCE DOING
THAT WORKLOAD. SO WITHOUT A BE
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THE PROGRAM ON BEHALF OF STATE
TO PRINT AND IN THE PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION ON PUBLIC SINCE WE
JUST KNOW THAT YOU KNOW
FACILITIES DO SERVE A GREATER
PURPOSE IN THAT THAN THEIR
PHYSICAL SPACE THAT THEY DO
PROVIDE. THAT CORE INSTRUCTIONAL
M. PLACE WHICH IS REALLY
IMPORTANT TO KIDS IN THE
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT AND TO THE
SUPERINTENDENT WITH. AS STRONGLY
SUPPORTS A ACCELERATING THE BOND
SALES THAT WE CAN GET MORE OF
THE PROJECT COMPLETED SOONER.
QUESTION.
MARLA.
FROM A SECURE BEEN HERE A FEW
TIMES BUT PROP FIFTY ONE
AUTHORIZED NINE BILLION DOLLARS.
SPENDING BUT WE'RE JUST DOLING
IT OUT.
SO I'M.
NO IT CANNOT HARANGUED.
BERMAN FINANCE ON THIS BEFORE
HER BUT. I AM JUST WONDERING.
HIS WORST SORT OF AND STILL AN
ECONOMIC UPTURN.
LOW INFLATION
HIGH COSTS FOR.
BUILDING SHORTAGE OF
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
THE GOVERNOR JUST KIND OF SAN
JUAN I HOLD THIS MONEY BACK.
IN THE ROOM DURING THE ECONOMIC
DOWNTURN.
WHEN PRICES WILL BE LOWER WHEN.
UNEMPLOYMENT WILL BE HIGHER.
AND.
THAT WOULD BE THE TIME TO START.
PUSHING OUT.
THE FUNDING TO BUILD SCHOOLS
BECAUSE IT'LL HELP.
GREAT JOBS AND HELP THE ECONOMY
IS IS IS AT HIS BIG PICTURE IS
THAT WHY WE'RE KINDA DOLING IT
OUT SLOWLY.
I FOUND I I DON'T A BRILLIANT
PLAN. WHEN. I I DON'T THINK THAT
THAT THAT'S BEEN THE
CONSIDERATION OF THE
ADMINISTRATION WE'RE JUST
PRIORITIZING FUNDING MORE FOR
PROJECTS AND WE ARE OR AT MEN SO.
IN THE APPROACH THAT WE'VE BEEN
USING FOR BUT THE VOTERS EVEN I
PROPOSED. THE BALLOT MEASURE DID
IMPROVE NINE BILLION DOLLARS.
IS THE BALLOT MEASURE SAY THAT
YOU YOU PARSE IT OUT OVER TWELVE
YEARS SIR. GOVERNOR FIVE WHAT
BOND MEASURE SAYS THAT PROJECTS
ARE TO BE CONTINUOUSLY
APPROPRIATED ON EXACTLY WHAT
THAT MEANS AND HOW THE STATES
PUT IT IN PRACTICE ISN'T CRYSTAL
CLEAR. BUT I THINK THE GENERAL
NOTION IS THAT AS PROJECTS ARE
SHOVEL READY THE MONEY WILL BE
THERE AS LONG AS THE BONDS BEEN
APPROVED AS CLEARLY NOTS WHAT'S
HAPPENING BECAUSE YOU ARE
SITTING ON SIX POINT EARNED
THREE POINT SIX BILLION PROJECTS.
WHICH COULD BE APPROVED HERE
PRETTY SHORTLY.
.
SO WE HAVE ASKED THE
ADMINISTRATION OBVIOUSLY
REPEATEDLY THE RATIONALE FOR
DOLING OUT THE MONEY AND RATHER
SMALL INCREMENTS AND. AS OPPOSED
TO ANYTHING THAT YOU SUGGESTED
WHICH OF US A VERY DIFFERENT
LINE OF THINKING WE JUST BEEN
TOLD THAT THEY DON'T THINK THAT
OKAY SUCCUMB PROCESS
APPLICATIONS SO WE'VE BEEN
LOOKING INTO THAT IS NOT A VALID
ARGUMENT AND WE DON'T BELIEVE AT
THIS TIME THAT IT.
SO OPS HIS NOT BLUE.
THE BOTTLENECK.
I DON'T.
SO.
YOU'VE GOT THE AUTHORITY TO
ISSUE THE BONDS YOU'VE GOT THE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT ARE REALLY
WANTING TO BUILD.
IT'S YOU GET THESE.
THIS TENSION OF LIKE IT'S LIKE
YOU CAN REACH SOMETHING ON A
SHELF BUT YOU DON'T GET.
SO HOW'S HOW'S.
ARE YOU HOUSE DEPARTMENT FINANCE
DEALING WITH WITH THAT ARE YOU
GETTING A LOT OF CALLS FROM
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND.
INCREASE THE PACERS ARE VERY
FUNNY.
BUT WE WHAT WE RECEIVED COMMENTS
ABOUT ON VARIOUS ISSUES AS IT
RELATES TO HOW MUCH MONEY IS
GOING OUT BUT AGAIN AS ELIOT
MENTIONED WE TIE IT BACK TO YOU
OPS HIS CAPACITY TO PROCESS SO.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FOCUSING ON
IT HAS TO GO THROUGH A PROCESS
OF GOING TO SEE ALLOCATION BOARD
FOR THESE PRODUCTS TO BE
APPROVED WHILE WE ARE AWARE OF
HOW MUCH. BY ON FUNDING IS ON
THE. LIST CURRENTLY FOR THE WORK
LOAD WE ALSO WOULD. KNOW THAT
THAT'S NOT A FUNDING THAT
THEY'RE REQUESTING FOR THOSE
PRODUCTS STILL HAVE TO BE THAT
IT IS SO HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED
FOR ELIGIBILITY SOME OF THOSE
PRODUCTS. IT YOU KNOW FOR FIVE
YEARS OLD NOT NECESSARILY
PROJECTS THAT ARE STILL ON
MOVING FORWARD AND ACTIONS SO.
YOU KNOW THAT.
BROWN YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS.
ON ON THE SUBJECT.
YOU WANNA DEFENDER SILVERMAN SHE
DID A PRETTY GOOD JOB I THINK.
IF ANYTHING SHE DID IS SHE DID
AS WELL THE JUST TO KNOW THAT
WOULD THAT WE THAT WE ALSO AGREE
THAT WE SHOULD BE ACCELERATING
THAT THE PROJECTS BUT I WOULD
DEFER TO A BSE TO TALK ABOUT.
WHAT THEY'RE STAFF CAPACITY IS
IN TERMS OF AND I AM CURRENT
STAFF COMING UP TO CAPACITY THAT
JUST STARTED AS WELL AS
REDIRECTING STAFF?
SOARING CAN YOU CONTRACT OUT TO
IT YOU KNOW IF YOU NEED EXTRA
SEVEN FOR LIMITED TERMS WHAT WE
WOULD CALL IT THREE TIMES.
BUT COUNTY LEVEL RIGHT WE HAVE
EXISTING CAPACITY JUST I'D EIGHT
NEW HIRES.
YOU KNOW IT'S TO BRING FOLKS ON
BOARD TO START YOU KNOW
PROCESSING APPLICATION IF YOU'LL
TAKE THEM SOME TIME TO KIND OF
LEARN THE SUBJECT. YOU KNOW BE
PERFECT YOU KNOW CAN BE.
SKILLED AT AT PROCESSING THOSE
APPLICATIONS THEY'LL TAKE.
POTENTIALLY UP TO A YEAR TO HAVE
THAT RIGHT SKILL SET IN ORDER TO
SERVE OUR CLIENTS SO.
AND WE'VE BEEN DOING A GREAT
JOB ASGOING ON THE FIELD
PROVIDING EDUCATION OUTREACH BUT
ALSO GIVEN OUR STAFF THE ABILITY
TO CONNECT WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS
AND HAVE A BETTER SENSE OF. YOU
KNOW HOW HOW CAN THE ASSIST THEM
WITH THEIR GRANT APPLICATION SO
I MEAN WE HAVE A WE HAVE
WORKLOAD AND THE WORKLOAD.
IS COMPETITIVE SO WE HAVE
FINALLY ROUNDS AND WE HAVE HOPE
IT FINALLY ROUNDS CURRENTLY WITH
CAREER TECH INDICATION. ON THAT
WILL WRAP UP THIS MONTH ON IN
MAY WILL BRING HUNDRED POINT
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN PROJECTS
AND THEY WILL HAVE ANOTHER
FILING AROUND. IT ACTUALLY IS
OPEN FOR ANOTHER CAREER TECH
EDUCATION FILING AROUND AGAIN.
THE DEADLINE TO SUBMIT
APPLICATIONS FOR THE DEPARTMENT
EDUCATION WILL BE SOMETIME THIS
FALL AND THEN WHAT'S WAS
PROJECTS GET SCORED WILL BE
TAKING AND INTRODUCING MORE
PROJECTS FOR FUNDING. AT THE
SAME CYCLE OF BY FEBRUARY WILL
RECEIVE FUNDING AT REQUEST FOR
ANOTHER ROUND FOR KRYCEK AND
THAT WILL BE ANOTHER HUNDRED
TWENTY FIVE MILLION. SO AGAIN
IT'S WHAT PRIORITIES ARE GOING
TO HAVE.
PROJECT APPROVALS AND
SUBMITTING OF PROCESSING THOSE
GRANTS ARE OUR PRIORITIES AS
WELL BUT WE ALSO HAVE.
THE PRIORITIES OF HAVING
PROCESS THE HEALTH AND SAFETY
PROJECTS AS WELL SO THERE'S A
FINE BALANCE AND I KNOW THERE'S
ALSO. THE OTHER COMPETING
PRIORITY OF PROJECTS THAT ARE
SEEKING APPEALS TO GO DISTILLING
CATION BOARD SO. I'M BUT AGAIN
AS I STATED EARLIER WE HAD OVER
THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS PROCESS
OVER HUNDRED EIGHTY NINE.
PROJECTS FOR OVER CLOSED AND I
HAD A MILLION SO WE'VE BEEN WITH
THE SIGNIFICANTLY CHIPPING AWAY
AT THE.
YOU THINK MISTER CHAIR I. IT THE
HEIGHT OF THE RECESSION TEN
YEARS AGO TWO THOUSAND SEVEN.
.
WE WERE ABLE TO BUILD TERMINAL
C. AT JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT SO IF
YOU EVER LAND THERE.
WE EXTENDED THE THE SIZE BY
THIRD.
BUT I WOULD TOUR IT AS I WAS IT
WAS IN MY DISTRICT I SUPERVISOR
TORRENT LIKE EVERY SIX WEEKS TO
SEE HOW THE PROGRESS IS GOING.
BUT HOW OFTEN.
THE WORKERS ROTATE THANK YOU
THAT WERE WORKING YOU KNOW THIS
IS LIKE.
THE RIGHT TIME AND WE WERE ABLE
TO DO IT UNDER BUDGET AND AHEAD
OF SCHEDULE BECAUSE WE HAD A YOU
KNOW ACCESS TO THE LABOR AND.
AND SO THAT'S WHY OPEN WITH THAT
REMARK IT MAYBE MAYBE THE
GOVERNOR'S SECOND.
DO IT WHEN WE NEED IT AS OPPOSED
TO WHEN EVERYTHING IS SO BUSY
RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN THANK
YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSES PANEL.
YEAH I JUST LIKE TO ASK HIM
DIRECT QUESTIONS AND ONE IS WHEN
WILL THE ADMINISTRATION TO
PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE OF PLANNED
BOND SALES IN FUTURE YEARS.
BUT SO THE WE THAT WE.
PLAN FOR BOND SALES AND FUTURE
IS THIS THE SAME WAY AND IT'S
IT'S PART OF THE PRIORITIES AND
FUNDING PROCESS IN THE SCHOOL
FACILITIES PROGRAM SO BASICALLY
WHAT HAPPENS. IS WHEN THE
PROGRAM APPROVES PROJECTS THAN
THEY'RE ABLE TO COME FORWARD FOR
pKNOW. CAN ACTUALLY BE SOLD FOR
BONDS SO IT'S ABOUT A NINETY
PROCESS I CAN MY OPSEC GOING A
BIT MORE DETAIL ABOUT THAT BUT
THAT'S HOW WE PLAN. FOR HOW MUCH
FUNDING ACTUALLY SO THEY HAVE TO
COME TO YOU WITH THE PROJECTS
HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE BUT
ALLOCATION PUTTING CAN'T GET.
APPROVAL UNTIL THEY HAVE ENOUGH
PEOPLE TO REVIEW THEM.
CORRECT.
PART OF THE PROCESS OKAY AND SO
HAS HE ADMINISTRATION CONSIDERED
INCREASING THE STAFFING AT OPSEC.
GIVEN THE IMPENDING BOND SALES.
WELL WE'RE WE SEE AT THIS POINT
THAT THE STAFFING IS ADEQUATE
FOR.
WHAT WE WHAT WE HAVE ON THE
TABLE RIGHT NOW AND WE ARE KIND
ARE FOCUSING ON MAXIMIZING THE
LIMITED BOND FUNDING FOR
PROJECTS RATHER THAN TO PAY FOR
IT?
ADMINISTRATION.
WELL BUT MY UNDERSTANDS WE CAN'T
GET THE PROJECTS GOING US WE OF
THE ADMINISTRATION I I THINK
THAT'S WHERE DOES THAT WHAT WAS
STATED IS THAT THERE THERE'S A
STAFFING ISSUE YOU HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO GET.
THROUGH ALL THE REQUESTED I MISS
THAT.
AGAIN WE ALWAYS.
YEAH.
I'M SO ELIOT WAS SAYING THEY CAN
REDIRECT RESOURCES AND SHE
THINKS THEY COULD INCREASE THEIR
WORKLOAD WITH CURRENT RESOURCES
SO DE ARE RIGHT FOR THE QUESTION
IS. DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT.
IS IT A QUESTION PRIOR ME WE
GOTTA WE GOTTA LOG JAM HERE.
OR DO WE I THINK THAT'S WHAT I'M
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND DO WE HAVE
A LOG JAM OR DON'T WE IN IF WE
DO HOW DO WE FIX WILL HAVE CHAIR
SAID THE PIPELINE.
BEFORE THE PROGRAM GOT STARTED
PROPOSITION FIFTY ONE PAST
NOVEMBER TWENTY SIXTEEN.
AND THEN THERE'S SOME.
LARGER POLICY ISSUES HAVE WERE
DISCUSSED BY THE BOARD AND AND
DECISIONS ARE MADE WHICH WAS
GREAT.
OPEN THE DOOR WE CAN START
PROCESSING APPLICATIONS.
AT THAT TIME IN JUNE WE HAD TWO
POINT FOUR BILLION DOLLARS.
ALREADY BUILT UP IN THE BACKLOG.
SO THREE POINT SIX BILLION
DOLLARS JUST AND BUILD OVERNIGHT
AND SO AND AS WAS DAY.
AND THE LEVEL OF COMPLEXITY OF
PROJECT SOME PROJECTS ARE ARE
PRETTY COMPLICATED.
AND THAT'S JUST YOUR CORE MEAT
ATTAIN AS AS I CALL IT YOUR NEW
CONSTRUCTION MODERNIZATION.
PROGRAM PROJECTS THAT'S LIKE
ALSO COMPETING WITH THE OTHER
PRIORITY PROGRAMS YOU KNOW WE
HAVE TURN AROUND THAT JUST
CLOSED UP.
AND SOMETIME IT LAST YEAR AND WE
PROCESS FIVE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS SO AGAIN WE'RE WERE
MANAGING THAT WORKLOAD.
AS WE SPEAK SO WE HAVE
DEDICATED ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
TO DO THAT.
PROCESS SEEMS SO IT'S JUST THAT
WE HIRED EIGHT NEW STAFF MEMBERS.
LATE FALL AND IT'S TAKEN SOME
TIME OBVIOUSLY DIFFERENT GET
THEM THE RIGHT SKILLS THAT GIVEN
THE TIME I AM NOT. CLEARNESS.
YOU HAVE THIS MONEY YOU HAVE
APPARENTLY A MANY PROJECTS
COMING IN ON A DAILY BASIS.
BUT WE'RE BACKLOGS THREE POINT
SIX BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF
PROJECTS.
CORRECT.
WHY?
WE WORK WITHIN THE AUTHORIZATION
AS PROVIDED IN THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET WOULD ACCEPT ME SO THAT
MEANS THAT WE HAVE BOND PROCEEDS
WE RETAKE TH PROJECT. FOR
APPROVAL FOR THIS DELEGATION
BOARD TO ENCUMBER THE BOND FUNDS
FOR THOSE PRODUCTS THEY MEET OUR
CORE REQUIREMENTS THE PROGRAM.
AND THEN THEY WITH THE BOND
SALES GIVE ME WITH THE
CONDITIONS ON THE BUT GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET. THAT THEY'RE GOING TO
SELL SO MUCH X. DOLLARS TO FUND
THOSE PROJECTS SO WE WORK WITHIN
THOSE CAPACITY.
IN OF TO ENSURE THAT WE BUT
ISN'T THE CAPACITY OF THE MONEY
THAT WE STILL HAVE OUTSTANDING
IN THE BOND. IS CONTINGENT UPON
A SALE.
SO WHAT'S CONTINGENT UPON US AT
ALL HAD A SO SO WE HAVE TO PUT
THEM UP FOR SALE. ARE THEY BEING
PUT UP FOR SALE WELL THAT'S NOT
OUR ROLE IT'S INSIDE OKAY.
FINANCE MCCARTY ARE THEY BEING
PUT OUT FOR SALE WHATEVER COMES
FORWARD IN THE PRIORITIES AND
FUNDING ROUND SO WE KNOW PSE
GOES OUT TO THE DISTRICTS AND
ASK THEM. WHO'S READY FOR CASH
SUBMIT YOUR CERTIFICATION WE GET
THE LIST OF ALL OF THE PROJECTS
AND EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT'S
READY. AND WE USE THAT LESS TO
BE ABLE TO SUBMIT TO THE STATE
TREASURER'S OFFICE ESTIMATES FOR.
TO SUFFER BONTA HELL TO BE A
CASH.
OKAY THANK YOU THIS IS WHAT I
COULD INCREASED CAPACITY IF THEY
WANTED TO THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.
THE THE THE GUT OF THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE COULD INCREASE
CAPACITY.
YOU GET THEM A YOU COULD DO
BETTER IN TERMS OF EXPEDITING
SOME LEASE BUT BASICALLY THEY
HAVE THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE HAS.
A SERIES OF REQUESTS THAT EQUAL
ABOUT THREE POINT SIX BILLION
DOLLARS BUT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN
FUNDED YET BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T
GOTTEN OUT HAD GONE OUT AND
PURCHASED THE BONDS IS THAT IS
THAT CORRECT.
I WOULD.
THREE POINT SIX BILLION DOLLARS
HAS NOT BEEN VETTED YET.
IT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE FDA
ALLOCUTION BOARD SO THERE'S SO
IT'S SITTING IN THE STATE
ALLOCATION BOARD MARKETING NOT
BEING.
HERE JUST TELL ME I'M PERHAPS
THE CHAIR CAN DO IT.
WE HAVE A BACKLOG WE HAVE THE
FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN OF US.
VOTER APPROVED APPROVED BY THE
VOTERS BUT WE HAVE THIS BACKLOG
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY AND

A LITTLE BIT OF A OF BACKGROUND
SORT OF M. BUILDING A LITTLE BIT
UPON WHAT'S IN THE AT AGENDA
ITEM. AND THEY GIVE YOU AN
UPDATE ON ON THE WORK THAT WE'VE
DONE. AND WHAT WORKING WITH THE
HIGH SPEED NETWORK AND ALSO IN
RESPONSE TO THE AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE HIGH SPEED NETWORK
CONNECTS A CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS TO
THE BURKE TO BROUGHT TO THE
BROADBAND THROUGH THE STATE. AND
IS STATED IN THE AGENDA OVER THE
PAST FEW YEARS AS STATEWIDE
STUDENT TESTING TRANSITION TO
COMPUTER BASED SYSTEM THE NEED
FOR RELIABLE INTERNET ACCESS HAS
INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY FOR THE
K. TWELVE EDUCATION SYSTEM. MOST
KATO SCHOOL SITES CONNECT TO
THEIR SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICE OR
COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION WHICH
THEN CONNECTS TO THE HIGH SPEED
INTERNET BACKBONE OPERATED BY
SCENIC.
THE CATO HIGH SPEED NETWORK
GRANT. A GRANT UNFUNDED EACH
YEAR IN THE STATE PAYS FOR THE
INTERNET CONNECTIONS FROM THE
DISTRICT COUNTY OFFICE TO THE
SCENIC BACKBONE. STAGES AND
PRIMARILY INCURS COSTS FOR AND
THE THREE AREAS WHICH IS SCENIC
SERVICES AGAIN THAT CONNECTION
SALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR THE
EMPLOYEES ADD TO MAINTAIN THE
CONNECTION AND MAINTAIN THE
EQUIPMENT AND THEN ALSO THE
EQUIPMENT PURCHASED PURCHASES.
IN TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN
EIGHTEEN THE PROTECTED PROGRAM
COSTS ARE TWENTY ONE POINT FIVE
MILLION FOR EIGHTEEN NINETEEN
THE PROJECTED COSTS ARE TWENTY
ONE POINT NINE MILLION. KNOWS
RECOMMENDED BY THE CALIFORNIA
STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT DATED
JUNE ARE SKINNY MAY TWENTY
SEVENTEEN THE CATO TO SENATOR
REQUESTING TEN POINT FOUR
MILLION DOLLARS IN STATE FUNDS
TO SUPPORT THE PROGRAM.
THE PROPOSITION NINETY GENERAL
FUND PROVIDED TO THE AGES AND
TYPICALLY COMPRISES ABOUT HALF
OF THE TOTAL REVENUES. THE
REMAINING AYE REVENUE PRIMARILY
COMES THROUGH EARACHE.
IN THE CALIFORNIA TELL CONNECT
FUND THAT ARE. THAT ARE I
RECEIVED IN ARREARS MEANING I'M
AFTER THE COST OF ANY CARD. AND
IN THE AUDITOR'S REPORT THEY
REVIEWED THE CATO THEY JUST THEN
AND MADE THE FOLLOWING
RECOMMENDATIONS.
TO HELP ENSURE THE NETWORK A
CONTINUOUS NETWORK OPERATIONS
WHILE PRESERVING STATE RESOURCES
THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD
APPROPRIATE TO THE HIGH SPEED
NETWORK. AND AN AMOUNT THAT DOES
NOT EXCEED TEN POINT FOUR
MILLION DOLLARS AND SEVENTEEN
EIGHTEEN.
SEPARATE SO ASKING THAT FOR
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN THE IMPERIAL
COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION LET'S
MEET WHICH AND MAINTAINS THE
HIGH SPEED NETWORK SHOULD
IMPROVE BUDGETING PROCESSES AND
COST PROJECTIONS. TO BETTER
IDENTIFY TRUE FUNDING NEEDS FOR
OPERATING AND MAINTAINING THE
NETWORK THE KEY TO ALL AGES AND
SHOULD ESTABLISH MAINTAIN A
PRETTY RESERVE THAT CONSIDERS
THE LIKELIHOOD OF EQUIPMENT
FAILURE OR REVENUE ISSUES AND
THE CATO WAGES AND TO DEVELOP A
FORMAL PROCESS. FOR REVIEWING
CAPACITY NEEDS OPTIONS AND COST
TO ENSURE THE NETWORK UPGRADES
ARE NECESSARY AND COST EFFECTIVE.
SO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
AND IMPERIAL COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION HAVE ADDRESSED AND ON
OUR CURRENT AND CONTINUE TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUE WAS IDENTIFIED
IN THE.
AUDIT FINDINGS AND PLANTS
IMPROVE AREAS OF WEAKNESS ALSO
IS REFERENCE IN THE IT AND SOME
OF THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY BOTH
AGENCIES INCLUDE. AND PROVIDING
A METHODOLOGY FOR THE U. EATING
PROPOSED CIRCUIT OF GREAT
PROJECTS
WHICH WAS DONE LAST DECEMBER AS
REQUIRED BY STATUTE. AND WITH
THE METHODOLOGY IN PLACE THE
HIGH SPEED NETWORK WILL SUBMIT
THE BUDGET PROPOSALS IN EARLY
FALL TO CD FOR REVIEWS THAT
THERE ARE ANY DITCHED ADDITIONAL
BUDGET REQUEST THAT WILL BE MADE
BY SOME. OF DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE IN NOVEMBER.
KATO THEY TO SAN HAS BEEN
EXPLICITLY DIRECTED TO IDENTIFY
THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE LONG
TERM OPTIONS AS RECOMMENDED
OPTIONS AND THE CD IS GETTING
MONTHLY MONITORING REPORTS. ON
OUT ON OUT AGENTS INCIDENCES AS
WELL AS A REPORT ON THE CIRCUIT
THEMSELVES TO IMPROVE CONTRACT
OVERSIGHT. WERE ALSO CONDUCTING
MONTHLY OPERATIONS CALLS AND
PARTICIPATING ON THE I AM CAIT
WILL LIKE IT IS AND GOVERNING
BOARD.
AND CURRENTLY THEY ARE
MAINTAINING A SIX MILLION
RESERVE AT THE END OF THE FISCAL
YEAR. AND WITH THAT I'M
AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS AND I ALSO HAVE JERRY
WINKLER WHO IS ARE A DIRECTOR
OVER EDUCATION DATA MANAGEMENT
DIVISION WHICH OVERSEES THE HIGH
SPEED NETWORK.
THANK YOU MISTER BROWN.
SKIN.
SO. IT COULD BE THAT FINANCE
GIVES YOU A MAJOR REVISION
PROPOSAL FOR THE HIGH SPEED
NETWORK BUDGET OBVIOUSLY IF THEY
DO THAT WILL TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
ON THE MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENT
WAS ABOUT A MONTH AGO ALLEGE
STUFF BUT TOGETHER ITH CD AND
THE HIGH SPEED NETWORK. AND THE
SAME KINDS OFISSUES ARE ONLY
SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WERE IN
THE AUDIT SEEM TO REMAIN SO THE
KEY ASPECTS OF AUDIT WORD H. A
SON BUDGET LACKED TRANSPARENCY
AND MANY OF THE UPGRADES THAT
THAT WERE BEING DONE TO HIGH
SPEED NETWORK. AYE WEREN'T
JUSTIFIED SO WHEN WE MET IT
SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE STILL
REQUESTS FOR UPGRADES THAT
EITHER DON'T APPEAR NEEDED OR
ARE ARE EXPENSIVE AND ARM ARE
CHEAPER OPTIONS AVAILABLE. SO
WE'RE STILL TRYING TO GET BETTER
INFORMATION ON THE BASICS WHAT'S
EXISTING CAPACITY AND SPEED
USAGE COSTS AND OPTIONS FOR
CONTAINING COST.
SO WHATEVER PROPOSAL COMES
BEFORE YOU WERE GOING TO BE
LOOKING REALLY CAREFULLY AT
EXISTING CAPACITY SPEED AND USE
IS HERE.
USAGE THAT'S GETTING ANYWHERE
CLOSE TO CAPACITY AND THE PAST
IT'S BEEN FAR FROM CAPACITY SO
MAKING SURE THAT THOSE REQUESTS
ARE JUSTIFIED AND IF THEY ARE
JUSTIFIED MAKING SURE ALL
AVAILABLE FEDERAL MONEY RESERVE
FUNDS ARE USED BEFORE. I YOU'RE
ASKED TO PRODUCE STATE FUNDS FOR
IT.
WHICH I.
KEEP HIS OWN DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE SO WE RECEIVED.
THE REQUEST FROM THE CATO THEY
JUST SENATE DEPARTMENT EDUCATION
AND WE HAVE SOME OF THE PROJECT
DETAILS. ON THAT HAVE BEEN
PROVIDED IN WE'RE CONSIDERING
THOSE REQUESTS AS A PART OF THE
MAY REVISION.
I SAID.
AT THIS POINT YES WE KNOW IT
WILL HAVE ANYTHING INCLUDE IN
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET RELATED TO
THESE PROJECT ON US COMPLAINING
I'M JUST
THAT'S.
SOCCER.
I'M MY QUESTIONS ARE WE WITH
THIS CORPORATION FOR EDUCATION
NETWORK INITIATIVES CALIFORNIA
ALSO KNOWN AS SCENIC.
IT IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION.
SO IS IT.
WHO'S ON THE BOARD I I'M I'M
KIND OF LOOKING AT MY. IPHONE
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A BIT MORE
EVERY YEAR I GET TO LEARN A
LITTLE BIT MORE SO I DIG A
LITTLE DEEPER BUT. I THINK IT'S
CONSIDER LIKE THAT BECAUSE I
PUBLIC JPA WHERE YOU HAVE A
MEMBERSHIP THE GOVERNING BOARD
HOUSE SEATS FOR UC'S CSU THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE AS. K. TWELVE
A FEW PRIVATE STANFORD CAL TECH
I THINK MIGHTHAVE SOME
REPRESENTATION ON IT AND I THINK
THE STATE LIBRARY MIGHT HAVE
BEEN GRANTED SOME WHEN THAT
NETWORK WITH EXTENDED TO THEM A
COUPLE OF YEARS. OKAY SO THE
MAIL COLLABORATE TOGETHER AND.
WORK TOGETHER AND TOLD WHO
OVERSEES.
THE NONPROFIT IS IS THAT LIE
WITHIN YOUR DEPARTMENT WAS BROWN.
THE THE CATO.
THE PRETENDER HAS A SEAT ON THE
GOVERNING BOARD.
BUT I'VE SEEN IS THAT JUST A
BILL JUST WHEN THEY WERE
DELICIOUS OR OKAY.
AND SO.
IS IS IT OPERATING AS YOU WOULD
LIKE IT OPERATE ABSOLUTELY VERY
EFFICIENTLY.
OKAY.
I HAVE NO OTHER QUESTIONS
SO.
THAT TAKES US INTO ISSUE NUMBER
FOUR.
THANK YOU PANEL.
START WITH.
MR ONLY WISH
WHERE'S MR STEINHAUSEN GETTY.
WHERE AN ISSUE
CHARTER SCHOOL FACILITIES GRANT
PROGRAM?
RIGHT.
I'M BUMPER PAUL STEAM HOUSE. I
THINK YOU.
BUT DEADLINE ISSUE ELEVEN OLD
DUH VERSION.
I HAVE AN OLD VERSION OF.
I'M SAYS CHARTER SCHOOL
FACILITIES BUT WITH OF ALL
NATURAL AND KATRINA.
ON THE PANEL OKAY WHAT AM I
SUPPOSED TO HAVE.
IF THE.
WILL DEFERRED A FINAL DAY WAS
RAINY ANDERSON.
LET FINANCE I STILL HAVE
KATRINA.
AND AND AND CHERYL BUT YOUR
NATURAL I'M CHERYL YOU'RE SURE
YEAH I HEARD YOU SAY SOMETHING
ELSE.
IN EUROPE RELAXED IN MY APPROACH.
THANK YOU.
I SURELY DON'T DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE.
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET INCLUDES
TWENTY POINT THREE MILLION FOR
THE CHARTER SCHOOL FACILITY
GRANT PROGRAM PROPOSES
ADDITIONAL TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE
THAT CAPS THE LEAST.
COSTS GROWTH AT THE RATE OF COLA.
AND ALSO REQUIRES INDEPENDENT
APPRAISAL FOR NEW CHARTER
SCHOOLS AND THEN FACILITY FOR
EXPANDING.
IT PRIORITISES LEASE COSTS OVER
OTHER MAINTENANCE COSTS WHEN THE
PROGRAM IS OVERSUBSCRIBED SO THE
PARISIANS CAN ONLY AFFECT THE.
OTHER COSTS
IT ELIMINATES AN AUTOMATIC BACK
FELT TO FIND PRAYER YOUR COST
CAREER PROCREATION.
THE PROPOSAL INTENDS TO LINE
FUNDING WITH THE PROJECTED
PROGRAMMATIC PARTICIPATION WHILE
ALSO ENSURING THAT THE LIMITED
FUNDING IS SUPPORTED ACTUAL COST
THAT REFLECT CURRENT MARKET
CONDITIONS.
AND BRIAN ANDERSON LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE IT IS YOU MAY
HAVE GATHERED FROM FINANCES
REMARKS THE. PROPOSAL BEFORE
YEARS ACTUALLY IS FOR
COMPLICATED HAS SEVERAL
COMPONENTS. OF PAGES FIFTEEN AND
SIXTEEN OF YOUR GENDO WALK
THROUGH THOSE VARIOUS COMPONENTS
I'D SWEAR START BY STANLEY. A
BUYER WE HEAR. OF IT CURRENTLY
THIS PROGRAM INTO IN THE YEAR.
SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN A IS PRETTY
HEAVILY OVERSUBSCRIBED.
.
THAT IS DUE IN PART TO A POLICY
CHANGE THAT THIS BODY MADE.
DURING LAST YEAR'S BUDGET
NEGOTIATIONS DURING LAST YEAR'S
BUDGET INCREASE THE MAXIMUM. OF
MOUNT THAT COULD BE AWARDED
UNDER THIS PROGRAM.
HISTORICALLY THAT AMOUNT HAD
BEEN CAPPED AT THE LOWER OF
EITHER SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT OF
YOUR ELIGIBLE FACILITIES BECAUSE
OF MOSTLY LEASE BECAUSE.
OR SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS
PER STUDENT THAT SEVEN HUNDRED
FIFTY DOLLAR LEVEL HAD BEEN. A
FLAT IN AND STATUTES SINCE THE
PROGRAM WAS CREATED IN TWO
THOUSAND ONE.
AS PART OF THEIR MAY REVISE LAST
YEAR THE ADMINISTRATION PROPOSED
INCREASING THAT RETROACTIVELY
FOR THE COST OF LIVING.
AND APPLYING AN ONGOING COST OF
LIVING THAT INCREASE THAT FROM
SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS TO A
LITTLE LESS THAN TWELVE HUNDRED
DOLLARS. IN PART DUE TO THAT
POLICY CHANGE WE'VE GONE FROM A
PROGRAM THAT WAS. HISTORICALLY
UNDER SUBSCRIBE TO ONE THAT'S.
A HEAVILY OVERSUBSCRIBED IF
THEY'VE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
FINANCE AUTHORITY PROJECTS THAT
THE SHORTFALLS ABOUT TWENTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS IN SEVENTEEN
EIGHTEEN.
NOW UNDER EXISTING LAW WHEN
THERE IS A IT SHORT PHONE THIS
PROGRAM ALL WORDS ARE PRO RATED
SO CURRENTLY RECIPIENTS HEARD
RECEIVING ABOUT EIGHTY PERCENT
OF THE ELIGIBLE WARTS.
THAT THAT LEADS TO A TWO BIG
COMPONENTS OF THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL ONE IS AN AUGMENTATION
OF FUNDING FOR THE PROGRAM AND
TO IS SOME PROGRAMMATIC CHANGES
WHICH ARE ARE DESIGNED. ON ONE
HAND TO KEEP DOWN.
INCREASING COSTS AND ON THE
OTHER TO CHANGE HOW THESE PRO
RATIONS QUIRKY IF IN THE FUTURE
WE END UP WITH. NO
OVERSUBSCRIBED PROGRAMS SOME CAN
DEAL WITH THOSE TWO COMPONENTS.
OF FIRST IS JUST THE
AUGMENTATION ITSELF THE
ADMINISTRATION PROPOSES AN
AUGMENTATION OF A LITTLE OVER
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS.
.
AND WE THINK THIS AUGMENTATION
UNDERSTATES THE LIKE WE ARE
INCREASES IN COSTS THIS PROGRAM
WILL FACE. NOW. THIS DEPENDS A
LITTLE BIT ON HOW YOU STRUCTURE
THE PROGRAM ON WHICH ELEMENTS OF
THE. ADMINISTRATION TRAILER BILL
CHANGES YOU ADOPT BUT AT. VERY
SIMPLY WE THINK IF YOU.
WANT TO CONTINUE THE PROGRAM
UNDER ITS.
NEW HIGHER GRANT AWARDS THAT
WERE INSTITUTED LAST YEAR YOU'LL
NEED ABOUT A FIFTY MILLION
DOLLAR AUGMENTATIONS OF THE
PROGRAM WILL HAVE TO. COST ABOUT
A HUNDRED SIXTY TWO MILLION
DOLLARS IF YOU WANT EVERY SIN
THAT CHANGE THAT YOU MADE.
LAST MAY. AND GO BACK TO THE
HISTORIC SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY CAP
WE THINK YOU'D STILL.
NEED AN AUGMENTATION AND BE A
MUCH SMALLER AUGMENTATION BUT
THE PROGRAM WOULD COST ABOUT A
HUNDRED TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS
THAT WOULD BE AN EIGHT MILLION
DOLLAR AUGMENTATION.
NOW REFERRING TO THESE TRAILER
BILL CHANGES THERE'S THERE'S
THERE'S FOR POLICY CHANGES.
ONE OF THEM WE THINK IS WELL
JUSTIFIED IT WOULD REMOVE
LANGUAGE UNDER CURRENT LAW THAT
PROVIDES AN AUTOMATIC BACK FILL
FOLLOWING YEARS IN WHICH THE
PROGRAM'S OVERSUBSCRIBED SO
CURRENTLY. A.
THE.
IT IN SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN OF
PROGRAMS AT THE AWARDS ARE BEING
PRO RATED THAT MEANS THAT ANY
FUNDING THAT YOU PROVIDE AN
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN WILL FIRST BE
USED TO FULLY FUND THOSE
SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN AWARDS SO THE
FIRST TWENTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS THAT YOU. PUT INTO THIS
PROGRAM AND EIGHTEEN NINETEEN
WILL BE USED TO PAY FOR
SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN AWARDS. I'VE
MEANS OF COURSE IT'LL BE LESS
FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR THE
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN AWARDS UNIT
YOU MIGHT END UP IN A CYCLE. OF
THIS PROGRAM JUST CHASING ITS
TAIL WORDS IT'S CONSTANTLY.
OVERSUBSCRIBED
NOW WE THINK THAT THE LANGUAGE
PROVIDING THIS AUTOMATIC
BACKFILL SERVED VERY SPECIFIC
HISTORICAL PURPOSE THAT PURPOSE
HAS. EXPIRED IT HAD TO DO WITH
THE TRANSITION THE PROGRAM MADE
MANY YEARS AGO IT THIS IS UNLIKE
HOW WE TREAT OTHER K. TWELVE
CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS WE THINK IF
THE LEGISLATURE WANTS TO PROVIDE
A BACK FILL FOR THE CURRENT YEAR
AWARDS THEY SHOULD DO SO. ON A
DISCRETIONARY BASIS USING ONE
TIME FUNDING.
OUTSIDE THE OTHER CHANGES ALL
RELATE TO.
I COST PRESSURES OF AND WE DON'T
THINK THAT THESE ARE OF WELL
JUSTIFIED THAT SO FIRST THE
ADMINISTRATION PROPOSES CAPPING
ELIGIBLE LEASE BECAUSE GOD. HAD
IT.
THE.
STATEWIDE COST OF LIVING
ADJUSTMENT WE DON'T THINK THAT
THIS. FIRST OF ALL REFLECTS
LIKELY INCREASES IN RENTS IN ALL
MARKETS WE ALSO DON'T THINK IT'S
NECESSARY UNDER THIS PROGRAM ALL
RECIPIENTS
ALREADY HAVE TO PAY AT LEAST
TWENTY FIVE PERCENT.
OF THEIR ELIGIBLE FACILITY
BECAUSE WE THINK THAT'S A STRONG
INCENTIVE TO KEEP THOSE SLOW.
NOW THEY ADMINISTRATION HAS
RAISED AN OBJECTION THAT IN SOME
CASES THERE ARE CONFLICTS OF
INTEREST WHERE CHARTER SCHOOLS.
HAVE MEMBERS OF THE GOVERNING
BOARDS WHO ALSO SERVED AS THEIR
LANDLORDS AND IN THOSE CASES
THERE MIGHT BE AN INCENTIVE TO.
INFLATE LEASE COST TO GET AN
INFLATED AWARD FROM THE SCHOOL
ARE FROM THE STATE. OF WE THINK
THAT THEY CAN BE DEALT WITH BY
JUST GRANTING THE CALIFORNIA
SCHOOL OF THE WORD FINANCE
AUTHORITY UP BROADER DISCRETION
TO REQUIRE INDEPENDENT LEASE
APPRAISALS WHEN THOSE CONFLICTS
OF INTEREST REGRETTABLY
SUSPECTED.
THE LAST PROPOSAL THAT.
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT HAS TO
DO WITH.
THOSE.
OF LEASE APPRAISALS THE
ADMINISTRATION FURTHER PER. UP
PROPOSES REQUIRING INDEPENDENTLY
SURPRISES FOR ALL NEW.
.
APPLICANTS OF THIS PROGRAM ONLY
A GAME AND THINK THAT THAT
BLANKET REQUIREMENT IS TOO BROAD
AND WOULD JUST RECOMMEND. GIVING
BROADER DISCRETION FOR THE
FINANCE AUTHORITY TO AUTHORIZES.
A APPRAISALS ON A CASE BY CASE
BASIS.
MISTER ANDERSON I'M ASSUMING
YOU'RE NOT KATRINA.
NO I AM NOT I AM IAN DAVIS
WITHOUT MY SCHOOL FINANCE
AUTHORITY REPRESENTING.
I TRIED TO HIT WELCOME MISTER
DAVIS THANK YOU.
AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS MY GOOD HOW YOU WANT
TO TAKE ON THE LA OATMAN HAVE
FUN. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY
THAT WERE GENERALLY SUPPORTIVE
OF THE PROPOSALS INCLUDE IN THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. AND WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION IF THERE'S ANY
AMENDMENTS NEEDED DURING THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF WHAT'S BEING
PRESENTED.
YOU WANTED.
SPONDON YOU BE ALEJO'S.
RECOMMENDATIONS ARE USED WHEN TO
BE QUIET.
I AM AT THIS TIME JUST HAD
ANSWER QUESTIONS
OBVIOUSLY I WANT HOW I.
AND.
.
FOR. YOU TO LOOK THERE'S MAJOR
THERE'S FOUR MAJOR POINTS.
I THINK THAT.
IF THE IF THE COSTS.
I THINK THAT THE TWENTY EIGHT
MILLION IS ARE SUFFICIENT. ARE
GIVEN THE OTHER MEASURES THAT
AREA QUIT UNTIL GOVERNOR'S OP
PROPOSAL. ARM AS WELL AS THE.
.
AS AS HE STATED BEFORE I AGREE
THAT. OR THE ADMIT OUR
DEPARTMENT AGREES THAT THE
REMOVAL OF THE BACKFILL.
IS
NEEDED AND.
.
IS UNNECESSARY AT THIS TIME.
AS FAR AS
UP THE COLA CAP AND THE
APPRAISALS WE DO THINK THAT
THAT'S A NECESSITY ARM THERE WE
DO HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTERESTS
REVIEW PROCESS BUT IT'S
IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO CATCH
EVERYTHING. IN FACT IT'S VERY
PRELIMINARY.
.
AND WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE
STOPPING TO GO OVER IF I THINK
ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED.
I AND TWENTY APPLICATIONS THIS
YEAR WITH THE SIX PERCENT
INCREASE EACH YEAR.
IT'S POSSIBLE FIRST REVIEW.
THE STRUCTURES OF THESE
COMPLICATE RESTRUCTURES AS WELL
AS THE SCHOOLS THEMSELVES.
TO FIND OUT THOSE CONFLICTS OF
INTEREST THAT THAT.
SCHOOLS CAN BENEFIT OR MEMBERS
CAN BENEFIT FROM INCREASED LEASE
COSTS.
SO WE HAVE CONCERNS THAT THESE
COSTS. ARE INCREASED
AND THAT THEIR.
ISN'T SANTA DO SO NOW THAT THE
AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE CAP HAS
BEEN INCREASED.
THE JOB THANK YOU MISTER.
I DON'T HAVE ANY FURTHER
QUESTIONS. OR WOULD LIKE IT'S
NOT ONE FAMILIES WHO JUST SAY
THAT THERE IS ABOUT AS AS IT
RELATES TO THAT POLICE CAP IS
THAT WE'RE SEEING ABOUT A THIRTY
FOUR PERCENT.
I RATE OF INCREASE ON LEASES
FROM LAST FROM THE PAST YEAR
INTO CURRENT YEAR AND MANY OF
THOSE CASES ARE. ACTUALLY AYE
EXPANDING THEIR FACILITIES OR.
.
ADOPTING NEW FACILITIES AND SO.
THOSE KINDS OF VARIANCES IN A
PROGRAM WHEN YOU MAKE LARGE
CHANGES.
BY AT RAN AMOUNT IS WHAT WE'RE
SEEING AND SO WERE TRYING TO
ADDRESS THAT AND THERE'S A FAIR
AND RESPONSIBLE WAY. FOR THESE
FUNDS.
GREAT THANK YOU AND WE HAVE
ISSUE.
BY.
WHICH.
THANK YOU PANEL WHICH WOULD BE
THERE WOULD BE MISTER STEAM
HOUSE.
AND THE WORLD FAMOUS DANIEL AND
OUR GREAT WELCOME BACK.
DAN HAD OUR DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE.
THE CALIFORNIA EDUCATION POLICY
FELLOWS PROGRAM OR EPF PF. WAS
STARTED IN TWENTY SIXTEEN IS A
JOINT PROJECT BY THE CENTER FOR
CALIFORNIA STUDIES.
AND THE EDUCATION INSIDE CENTER.
PRIOR TO DEVELOPING THE PROGRAM
THE CENTER FOR CALIFORNIA
STUDIES MET WITH VARIOUS
STAKEHOLDERS.
AND DETERMINE THE EDUCATION
POLICY IS HANFORD IN THE STATE
BY DISCONNECTS BETWEEN K. TWELVE.
AND HIGHER EDUCATION.
AS WAS BETWEEN THE SACRAMENTO
POLICY COMMUNITY AND EDUCATION.
PRACTITIONERS ACROSS THE STATE.
THE EPF HE WORKS TO ADDRESS BOTH
OF THESE AREAS.
CURRENTLY THE PROGRAM SERVES A
COHORT OF TWENTY MID CAREER
PROFESSIONALS.
OF WORK EDUCATION EACH YEAR.
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET PROPOSES A
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AN ON
GOING GENERAL FUND.
SUPPORT THE EPF P. BUT THE GOAL
OF EXPANDING CAPACITY IN THE
STATE'S EDUCATION POLICY MAKING
APPARATUS.
POSTED HOUSE WITH THE ANALYST'S
OFFICE. OUR VIEW IS THAT THESE
KINDS OF PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT AND NETWORKING
PROGRAMS CAN BE USEFUL. THAT
SAID GIVING GIVEN ALL THE OTHER
ISSUES FACING THE STATE.
WE DON'T THINK THAT PROVIDING
STATES SUPPORT FOR.
A PROGRAM THAT SERVES WORKING
PROFESSIONALS ARE OR MAKE CAREER
FOR.
PROFESSIONALS.
IS A SUFFICIENTLY HIGH A
PRIORITY IN TWO THOUSAND
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN. WE ALSO KNOW
THAT THE PROGRAM IS A FAIRLY
EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE COST ABOUT
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS PER FELLOW.
PRIMARILY FOR STAFFING AND
TRAVEL RELATED COSTS FOOD COSTS
LODGING.
ABOUT WITH US RECOMMEND THE
LEGISLATURE REJECT THIS PROPOSAL.
GREAT SO.
OUR MISTER MISTER HAN OUR I'M
CURIOUS WHY THIS IS A PAID FOR
OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND AS
OPPOSED PROP NINETY EIGHT
FUNDING.

CONCERNS ABOUT CURRENT YEAR
THERE'S A AT NOTED SHORTFALL IN
CURRENT YEAR. AND WITH THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE TRAILER
BILL LANGUAGE THAT WOULD
ELIMINATE THE.
AUTOMATIC BACK FILL OUR SCHOOLS
WOULD BE CUT ABOUT TWENTY
PERCENT.
BASED ON CASF PHASE ESTIMATES
I'M AT THE END OF THE FISCAL
YEAR SO THEY'VE ALREADY
COMMITTED.
BASED ON THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDER
CURRENT LAW SO WE WOULD JUST
ENCOURAGE YOU THAT ANY CHANGES
THAT ARE MADE.
TO THE PROGRAM WOULD NOT AFFECT
CURRENT YEAR FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS
WE DON'T WANT TO CUT THEM OFF AT
THE KNEES AT THE END OF THE

HITTING AND MAYBE A LITTLE BIT

LAY OFF ONE. SCO COUNSELOR AND
