I HAVE.
I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT
THEY'LL BE A SPECIAL ORDER OF
BUSINESS AT TWO FORTY FIVE WE'RE
GOING TO DISCUSS ITEM NUMBER
SEVENTEEN WHICH IS THE NATURAL
RESOURCES. FORCE CARBON PLAN
IMPLEMENTATION.
TO GET A SEPARATE DAD SO WE
WON'T DO THAT FIRST. THEM WILL

SINCE IT'S.
SINCE ITS NEXT STEP WE WILL CALL
UP THE DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY
AND FIRE UP PROTECTION.
CAL FIRE FOR ITEM NUMBER
EIGHTEEN WHICH IS THE CLIMATE
CHANGE FIRE.
SEVERITY.
AND COME BACK TO SEVENTEEN
LATER.
IT WAS.
THAT WAS.
OKAY THIS IS A TEN POINT NINE
MILLION. AND FIFTY TWO POSITIONS
FOR HEAVY EQUIPMENT.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR ACCOUNTS
KEY MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE CAN
TELL A LOT.
DIRECTOR HAVE CAL FIRE. BOB
BEFORE YOU TODAY.
ISSUE EIGHTEEN NEWS.
CLIMATE CHANGE FIRE SEVERITY.
THROUGH THE MAY REVISION CAL
FIRES REQUESTING TEN POINT NINE
MILLION IN GENERAL FUND AND
FIFTY TWO POSITIONS ARE STARTING
IN FISCAL YEAR.
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN TO PROVIDE
HEAVY EQUIPMENT MECHANICS
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE FUNDING AND
ASSOCIATED ADMINISTRATIVE
SUPPORT STAFF.
BUT WHAT'S BEEN CRITICAL.
HAS BEEN AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH
THIS FIVE YEARS OF DROUGHT.
AND WHAT IS NOW BEING TURNED IS
THE NEW NORMAL FOUGHT WE ARE
WOEFULLY BEHIND IN OUR ABILITY
TO KEEP UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE
OF OUR.
MOBILE EQUIPMENT ST PAUL AS WE
ENDED TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN ARE
FIRE ENGINES AROUND THE STATE
WERE STILL. COMMITTED TO THE
THOMAS FIRE AND OTHER FIRES AS
WELL AS COVERING FIRE STATIONS.
WELL AS WE WERE STILL IN FIRE
SEASON STATEWIDE THIS PROVIDED
US THE ABILITY. TO GET EQUIPMENT
BACK IN MAINTAINED AND LITERALLY
RESET AS WE ARE NOW MOVING INTO
THE TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHTEEN
FIRE SEASON SO. WHAT WAS IS
CRITICAL IN THIS IS OUR ABILITY
TO HAVE MECHANICS AROUND THE
STATE TO KEEP UP? WITH THIS NEW.
HAVE NORMAL OF USE OF OUR
EQUIPMENT FILE AND HAVING THEM
STRATEGICALLY LOCATED SO THAT
THEY CAN KEEP UP WITH THIS
MAINTENANCE ON A YEAR ROUND
BASIS.
THE REQUESTING TWENTY FIVE.
DIDN'T BE GM'S ARE MECHANICS
AND ASSOCIATED VEHICLE
MAINTENANCE DOLLARS ABOUT TO
PROVIDE FOR THAT MAINTENANCE.
FAR AND IN ADDITION ABOUT
LOOKING FOR ADMINISTRATIVE
SUPPORT PERSONNEL.
WE HAVE ALMOST ONE BILLION
DOLLARS IN INVOICES FROM THE TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN FIRE SEASON
ALONE.
ALL OF THAT WAS ONE THOUSAND
FIRE DEPARTMENTS THAT WE
UTILIZED AROUND THE STATE ALONG
WITH ALL OF OUR VENDORS AT ALL
OF EVERYTHING IT TAKES TO KEEP
FIREFIGHTERS OPERATIONAL ALL
THAT NOW. IS BEING PROCESSED AND
TO WE NEED TO GET MEET TYPE TIME
FRAMES ON ALL THAT INVOICING LA
AND. WE DON'T MEET THOSE TIME
FRAMES WE CAN PUT UP ALL OF OUR
COOPERATING PARTNERS IN FISCAL
CHALLENGE. THOUGHT TO BEATING
THOSE TIME FRAMES AND SO THESE
POSITIONS ARE OUT IN THE FIELD
SUPPORTIVE. OF THAT THEY HAVE
BEEN PART OF THE GOVERNOR'S
DROUGHT PACKAGE ON A ONE TIME
BASIS FROM YEAR TO YEAR.
AND THIS IS TO MAKE THOSE
POSITIONS.
PERMANENT.
AB ANSWERING QUESTIONS
THANK YOU ARE LA A WHAT DO YOU
THINK ABOUT THE SEVEN POINT
THREE MILLION DOLLAR INCREASE
FROM JANUARY'S BUDGET. AND THANK
YOU TO SHARE ACTUALLY EXIT THE
ANALYST'SOFFICE A GOOD
AFTERNOON.
WE WILL HAVE WE DID ASK THE
DEPARTMENT SOME.
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AND FOR
SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ABOUT THE WORKLOAD OF INCREASES
AND THEY HAVE PROVIDED THAT
INFORMATION WAS TO THE PROCESS
OF REVIEWING THAT RIGHT NOW. AND
WILL BE WORKING WITH THE STAFF
AS WELL AS WE GET THROUGH THAT
OF WE HAVE SPECIFIC
RECOMMENDATIONS THEN THE WOMAN
HOLDING RIGHT NOW BASED ON
ARGUED THAT.
TO SOME OF THIS HEAVY EQUIPMENT
IS A BACKHOE I DON'T KNOW VERY
MANY HAVE A PACK CHO YOU EAGLE
WINNER WHAT TELL ME ABOUT THIS
EQUIPMENT. THESE ARE A CAL FIRE
HAS A FRONTLINE FEET A FLEET OF
OVER THREE HUNDRED FORTY THREE
FIRE ENGINES WE HAVE ALMOST
SIXTY FIREFIGHTING BULLDOZERS.
BUT WE HAVE OVER TWO HUNDRED
CREW CARRYING VEHICLES THAT
CARRY OUR HAND CREWS AND AT OVER
THOUSAND VARIETY OF SO SUPPORT
VEHICLES FROM A CHIEF OFFICER
VEHICLES TO OUR RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL. OR FIRE
MARSHAL PERSONNEL ALL OF THE
SUPPORT EQUIPMENT THAT GOES INTO
THAT MAINTAINING OPERATION TO
SIZ. BY COMPLEXITY OF CAL FIRE
AND THIS IS TO KEEP ALL OF THOSE
MAINTAIN INTO TRADITIONALLY THE
FIRE ENGINES WOULD COME BACK
DURING THE WINTER.
AND WOULD BE MAINTAINED WHEN
THERE WAS NO ACTIVITY WE HAVE
ACTIVITY NOW YEAR ROUND AND.
MILEAGE IS BEING ACCUMULATED
MUCH MORE QUICKLY AND THE
ABILITY NOW TAKE HAVE ALL THAT
EQUIPMENT MAINTAINED ON A FLOW
BASIS TO KEEP UP WITH THE
DEMAND.
THAT WERE NEED THESE BULLDOZERS
USE DURING THE.
PRESCRIBED BURNS OR.
PREVENTION I THOUGHT WHAT THE
CIVIC AT NC FIRE ENGINES NOT
BEING USED BUT SOME OF THE OTHER
EQUIPMENT BUT ACTUALLY ALL THE
EQUIPMENT IS USED FOR FIRE
PREVENTION FEELS TREATMENTS FOR.
EMERGENCY CREW TRANSPORTS GROUND
TRANSPORT THE FIREFIGHTING HAND
CRUZ THE INMATE FIRE CREWS AND
SEE SEE SEE MEMBERS. OUT TO DO
THE PROJECT WORK THE FIRE
ENGINES PROVIDE THE FIREFIGHTERS
ON THE WATER TO SUPPORT. THAT
THE PRESCRIBED FIRE IN THE CHAIN
SAW WORKS THE FIREFIGHTERS
ACTIVELY OUT THERE WITH THE FIRE
ENGINES. AND BULLDOZERS ARE
ACTIVELY CUTTING CONTROL LINES
AROUND PRESCRIBED FIRE AND THE
OPERATORS OF THOSE BULLDOZERS
ALSO OPERATE SPECIALIZED.
EQUIPMENT THAT A MASTICATING
BRUSHING HELP MULCH AND SO THAT
ALL OF THIS EQUIPMENT IS PART
BUT IF CAL FIRES EQUIPMENT
INCLUDING. HELICOPTERS THAT
LIGHT IGNITE FIRE FROM THE AIR
ARE ALL PART OF OUR. FIRE
PREVENTION FUELS MANAGEMENT TOOL
BOX SO HOW HOW DO WE MANAGED HOW
DO WE MANAGE IT BECAUSE IF WE
HAVE MORE YOU KNOW.
DUMB GUY LIKE ME THINKS OKAY
IT'S WINTER TIME FIRE SEASONS
OVER THEY CAN WORK ON THE
EQUIPMENT GET IT DONE AND THEY
CAN HAVE THE RESOURCE IS THE
TIME TO GO OUT AND DO SOME OF
THESE PRESCRIBED BURNS AND.
PREVENTION IF YOU'RE HAVING
FIRES ALL THE TIME THEN HOW
WOULD YOU EVER DO ANY WORK ON
FIRE PREVENTION OR HAVE ANY THE
EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE BECAUSE. IF
IT DID IF WE DO GIVE YOU.
POSITIONS AND TEN POINT NINE
MILLION TO HAVE THE EQUIPMENT
WORKED OUT STILL WOULD NEVER BE
ANY OF THOSE RESOURCES AVAILABLE
BECAUSE IT WOULD ALWAYS BE GOING
OUT TO NEXT FIRE.
SO IT IT'S TIMING THROUGHOUT THE
YEAR CERTAIN AT THE PEAK OF FIRE
SEASON ALL OF OUR EQUIPMENT IS
ACTIVELY ENGAGED.
I IN THE FIRE FIGHTING MISSION
AYE AS NEEDED BUT THERE ARE
TIMES OF THE YEAR WHERE THAT
EQUIPMENT IS READILY AVAILABLE
FOR THE FUELS MANAGEMENT
PROJECTS AND. IN THE CASE OF THE
HEAVY EQUIPMENT MECHANICS RIGHT
NOW TO MEET THE DEFICIT WE ARE
REDIRECTING OUR BULLDOZER
OPERATORS FROM OPERATING
BULLDOZERS AND EQUIPMENT DOING
FUELS WORK THEY'RE ACTUALLY IN
THE AUTO SHOP.
TURNING WRENCHES TRYING TO
MAINTAIN THE EQUIPMENT BECAUSE
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MECHANICS
TO KEEP THAT EQUIPMENT
MAINTAINED AND SO THIS WILL
ALLOW US TO GET THOSE. BULLDOZER
OPERATOR OUT IN THE FIELD AND
DOING FEELS WORK IN THE WINTER
ALLOWING THE MECHANICS TO DO
WITH BUT THERE SPECIALIZED TO
DO.
OKAY A CENTER NIELSEN YOU HAVE
QUESTION.
DIRECTOR PIMLOTT IS. IS ALL OF
THIS EQUIPMENT DID WAS.
.
CHOIR TENSE LIKE THIS TWO
THOUSAND NINE AND TEN.
IS THAT ALL. IN STOCK NOW YOU'VE
PURCHASED ALL THE EQUIPMENT THAT
THE SKIN DIVISION TO BE WORKING
ON OR IS THAT STILL IN THE
PROCESS OF BEING PURCHASED.
OUR OUR MOBILE EQUIPMENT FLEET
IS CONSTANTLY IN FLUX AND AND
YOU KNOW WE HAVE A REPLACEMENT
CYCLE WHERE WE CONSTANTLY EVERY
YEAR HAVE EQUIPMENT. COMING OUT
THE BOTTOM AND BEING SURPLUS
DOUBT AND NEW EQUIPMENT COMING
IN AND SO ALL THESE INDIVIDUALS
ARE CONSTANTLY EVERY YEAR IN THE
PROCESS OF OUTFITTING THE NEW
EQUIPMENT AND PUTTING IT INTO
SERVICE. WHILE AT THE SAME TIME
TAKING YOU KNOW OTHER OLD
EQUIPMENT OUT OF SERVICE AND WE
ARE LOOKING TO AGAIN PROCURE
ADDITIONAL FUELS MANAGEMENT
EQUIPMENT AGAIN GOT SHIPPERS AND
OTHER EQUIPMENT THAT WILL AGAIN
HELP US INCREASE OUR PACE AND
SCALE. OF DOING FIRE PREVENTION
FUELS WORK OUT IN IN THE FIELD
AND SO. ALL OF THAT THERE IS A
CONTINUING PROCESS OF MOVING
EQUIPMENT THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT
BUT YOU'RE YOU DO HAVE A NET
INCREASE THE TOTAL NUMBERS OF. A
EQUIPMENT OF WHATEVER IT IS
MASTER CATERS ABSOLUTELY THAT
GOES ABDULLAH XERS. YES SO
YOU'VE AND YOU INCREASED YOUR
INVENTORY AND THEREFORE YOU NEED
THE PERSONNEL.
THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE
NEED FOR THE DISH ALL PERSONNEL
IS THE ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF
FUELS MANAGEMENT AND OTHER
EQUIPMENT TO MAINTAIN YES.
AND.
DOES THIS ALSO ACCOMMODATE THE.
.
NEW.
PRIORITIZE ATION IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF.
PORTION WHILE AND MANAGEMENT.
FUEL MANAGEMENT THAT'S OF.
PRETTY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE
LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
IS THAT IN PART WHAT THIS IS.
GOING TO BE DEPLOYED TO DO.
ABSOLUTELY AGAIN.
THESE AND THE MECHANICS
THEMSELVES AGAIN WILL FREE UP
OUR.
HIRED THEIR HEAVY EQUIPMENT
OPERATORS ARE FIRE CAPTAINS AND
OTHERS WHO GET REDIRECTED TO TRY
TO MAINTAIN EQUIPMENT THEY WILL
GET.
REDIRECTED BACK OUT TO THEIR
CORE. MISSION DOING FUELS
MANAGEMENT TO AND OTHER WORK FOR
THE ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT STAFF
ARE KEY THESE ARE THE FOLKS ON
THE FRONTLINE. USING THEIR CAL
CARDS TO PROCURE THE EQUIPMENT
ARE THAT THE SUPPLIES THAT ARE
NEEDED TO GET THIS WORK DONE AS
WELL.
THANK YOU.

SO WE'RE GONNA HOLD THIS OPEN
THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT ON THE.
GOVERNOR SAID.
BUDGET REQUESTS.
MOVING ON TO A ISSUE NUMBER
TWENTY THE FIREWORKS PROGRAMS
THERE'S A.
BUT YOU REQUESTED A TRAILER
BILL LANGUAGE THIS IS.
FIVE POINT SEVEN MILLION FOR
STATE MARSHALL FIREWORKS
ENFORCEMENT DIVISION AS WELL AS
THE.
ONE TIME.
OFFICES STATE FIRE MARSHALL'S.
THAT FIREWORKS STEWARDSHIP
PROGRAM PLEASE.
WE GET AT THE I THINK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THIS
SIDE TO YOU THIS IS A LONG
STANDING ISSUE.
INSTEAD CALIFORNIA HOW TO HOW
TO DEAL WITH THE ILLEGAL
FIREWORKS OF ISSUES.
BOB WHEN I WAS APPOINTED THE
STATE FIRE MARSHAL JUST A LITTLE
OVER A YEAR AGO I REALIZED AND
RECOGNIZE THAT.
OUR ADD THAT THE THE FUNDING
MADE AVAILABLE TO ADDRESS THESE
ISSUES SUCH AS DISPOSAL. OF
SEIZED ILLEGAL FIREWORKS TIME IS
INADEQUATE.
AND.
AND SO THEREFORE.
WE HAVE SPENT A CONSIDERABLE
AMOUNT OF TIME. THE WITHIN THAT
PERIOD OF TIME TO UPLOAD
TOGETHER A SEVERAL STAKEHOLDERS
ROLL UP OUR SLEEVES.
AND AND TRY TO TAKE A STAB AT IT
AGAIN AND SEE IF WE CAN A SOLVE
THE ISSUE.
THE PROBLEM IS. THE OF THE USE
AND SALE OF ILLEGAL FIREWORKS
SKYROCKET. IN CALIFORNIA
CONTINUES TO FUNDING FOR
ENFORCEMENT EDUCATION AND
DISPOSAL.
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER IS
INSUFFICIENT.
LACK OF OUR ENFORCEMENT OF
ILLEGAL FIREWORKS HAS BEEN.
CONTINUED ISSUE. OF FOR
CALIFORNIA A REQUIRING OUR
ORGANIZATION.
TO CONDUCT A MAJOR OVERHAUL IN
HOW WE ADDRESS THE DISPOSAL OF.
DANGEROUS AND ILLEGAL FIREWORKS
TO GIVE YOU SOME PERSPECTIVE ON.
UNDER THE QUANTITY OF ILLEGAL
FIREWORKS THAT.
IS SEIZED.
IN A YEAR'S PERIOD TIME ON
AVERAGE IS ALL WELL OVER TWO
HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND POUNDS.
DID WHICH IS EXTREMELY
EXPENSIVE.
TO DISPOSE OF AS HAZARDOUS
WASTE.
WITHOUT OF STABLE FUNDING SOURCE
OF FOR DISPOSAL THE CONFISCATION
OF ILLEGAL AND DANGEROUS
FIREWORKS.
STATEWIDE IS CREATE A
SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO THE
ENVIRONMENT AS WELL AS.
PUBLIC SAFETY.
OUR PROPOSED SOLUTION.
ADDRESSES THE NEED FOR
INCREASED ENFORCEMENT EDUCATION
AS WELL AS FUNDING FOR DISPOSAL.
WAS DEVELOPED THROUGH A
COLLABORATIVE EFFORT TECH
COORDINATED BY THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE INCLUDED SEVERAL
STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING THE
FIREWORKS INDUSTRY. THOUGHT
CALIFORNIA FIRE CHIEFS
ASSOCIATION LEGAL CITIES AND
OTHER CALIFORNIA POLICE OFFICERS
ASSOCIATION.
THE CORRESPONDING TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE WHAT THAT WILL CREATE A
NEW A NEW RELIABLE FUNDING
MODEL.
INVOLVING A NONPROFIT FIREWORKS
STEWARDSHIP OF ORGANIZATION
WHICH WILL PARTNER WITH OUR
OFFICE.
TO MANAGE CEASED COMMERCIALLY
VIABLE FIREWORKS.
HOW THAT WORKS IS OF THE PARTS
INDUSTRY WILL?
WILL.
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH US WILL I
REPURPOSE
COMMERCIALLY VIABLE.
AND FIREWORKS ILLEGAL FIREWORKS
THAT ARE ILLEGAL HERE IN
CALIFORNIA BUT ARE ILLEGAL IN
OTHER STATES. AND BOMBED AND
REALLY RECEIVE A BENEFIT.
TO THEMSELVES FOR THAT.
IN THEN THERE BY REDUCING THE
AMOUNT OF.
ILLEGAL FIREWORKS CONSIDER
HAUSER'S WASTE THAT WE HAVE TO
DISPOSE OF SO WE'RE SPUR
REDUCING COSTS.
BY UTILIZING THAT METHOD.
THE GOAL.
OF THE PROPOSAL IS TO REDUCE
POTENTIAL RISKS.
TO PUBLIC AND BY MENTAL.
CAN.
CONCERNS.
BUT I REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF
ILLEGAL FIREWORKS ENTERING THE
STATE.
PROVIDE THAT STABLE FUNDING
SOURCE I MENTIONED TO SUPPORT
LOCAL FIRE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.
ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS.
AS WELL AS PROVIDING A ROBUST
PUBLIC EDUCATION SAFETY
CAMPAIGN.
SO THIS TIME CAL FIRE OFFICE OF
THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL'S
REQUESTING APPROVAL OF.
ONE TIME FUNDING OF THREE POINT
SIX MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE
CALIFORNIA AND ENVIRONMENTAL
LICENSE PLATE FUND FOR FISCAL
YEAR EIGHTEEN NINETEEN ONLY.
TWO ONGOING POSITIONS TO OVERSEE
THE PROPOSED FIREWORKS
STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM INCLUDING
INCREASING THE STATE'S EFFORTS
TO REDUCE THE INFLUX OF ILLEGAL
FIREWORKS WITHIN THAT
CALIFORNIA.
ONGOING FIREWORKS FUND
REIMBURSEMENT AUTHORITY OF TWO
POINT ONE MILLION DOLLARS
STARTING IN FISCAL YEAR NINETEEN
TWENTY.
AND ADOPTION OF THE NECESSARY
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE TO
IMPLEMENT THE PROPOSAL. WITHOUT
I'D BE HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN ANY
QUESTIONS SO EXPLAIN TO US HOW
WE GOT HERE BECAUSE IT LOOKS
LIKE YOU'RE. A MAYBE FELL ON
YOUR LAP BUT IT LOOKS AS THOUGH
YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING BASIC
COP WORK I GET THE HAZARDOUS
WASTE.
PRONG OF THIS AND THAT MAKE
SENSE AND AYE REDUCING IT BY. RE
GIFTING IT TO ANOTHER COMMUNITY
IS IS IS FINE BUT SOME OF THIS
ENFORCEMENT WORK IS JUST SOUNDS
LIKE BASELINE COP WORK HILL
GOING AFTER THESE THESE GUYS WHO
WERE.
SELLING IT AND I'M WONDERING
WHEN YOU HAD THIS.
GROUP TOGETHER WITH TEXT WITH
THE POLICE CHIEFS AND ALL THAT
WHY THAT PEACE IS NOT UNDER.
AND THAT SOMEBODY ELSE'S
JURISDICTION ME BECAUSE YOU GUYS
ARE THERE.
YOU FIND THE GUY WITH THE
ILLEGAL COM AND STUFF Y. IS
FIREFIGHTER.
TAKING THAT POLICE ACTION WHY IS
IT NOT CALLED THE CHP OR CALL
THE SHARE FOR HAVE THEM DO THAT
RIGHT TYPICALLY.
THAT THE THE LINE SHARE OF OF
ON BOOTS ON THE GROUND
ENFORCEMENT OF ILLEGAL FIREWORKS
ACTIVITIES.
THE CURRENT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
AND IT'S DIFFERENT ENOUGH
FIREFIGHTERS ON THAT ARE OUT
THERE.
DO PERFORMING THE ENFORCEMENT.
USUALLY YOU'LL HAVE YOUR FIRE
INVESTIGATORS.
WHO ARE PEACE OFFICERS?
WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
THEIR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
PARTNERS WHETHER TO CITY POLICE
DEPARTMENT OR COUNTY SHERIFF'S
OFFICE.
.
WITHIN A IN MANY IT DOESN'T
OPERATIONS.
A FEDERAL PARTNERS ARE ALSO
INVOLVED SUCH AS.
ETF IN AND FBI.
.
MANY OF THOSE.
ACTIVITIES AGAIN ARE CONDUCTED
AT THE AT THE.
THE LOCAL LEVEL AND.
ARE DONE AS AS A GROUP SO THAT
IT'S IT IS A FIRE ISSUE.
IN TERMS OF OUR INVOLVEMENT THE
STATE FIRE MARSHAL'S OFFICE WERE
REQUIRED BY LAW.
TO.
TO COLLECTS AND AND DISPOSE OF
CEASE FIRE WORKS FROM A LOCAL
ENTITIES.
AND SO.
AND TO SUPPORT THEIR EFFORTS IN
IN ENFORCEMENT AND YOU GUYS
DISCUSS THE SEVEN IS A STAFF
REPORT.
BAGS HEWITT YOU DISCUSSED
ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES THAT THAT
WOULD MAKE SENSE BECAUSE LIKE I
THINK AGAIN I GET THE FACT THAT
THEY HAND YOU JUST HAZARDOUS
MATERIAL. AND THAT'S THAT'S
SEEMS TO ME TO BE WHERE.
LOGICAL YOU KNOW I'VE A
STEWARDSHIP THAT WECOME IN BUT
IT BUT YOU KNOW IT'S A BRAND NEW
PROGRAMS COMING TO. ME FROM YOUR
OFFICE VERSUS TO CHP VERSUS THE
LOCAL SHERIFF'S COMING AND
SAYING WE'RE GONNA DO THE
ENFORCEMENT ACTION AND THEN THE
OTHER PIECE FOR THE FIRE
MARSHALL IS.
WE HANDED OFF THE GUY.
CONFISCATED GOODS.
I THINK KEVIN DID DO WE ALREADY
HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DO
THIS THAT THE THE CRITICAL
COMPONENT HERE IS IS HOW TO FUND
IT BOMBARD THE FUNDING HAS BEEN
IS INSUFFICIENT SO.
AND I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF.
IN EXPERIENCE I HAD THAT IN
THIS PAST YEAR. WE MEET WITH AND
WORK WITH LOCAL.
LAW IN FIRED FORSMAN AGENCIES
ALL THE TIME.
I HAD AN INDIVIDUAL FROM A LOCAL
BOMB SQUAD IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA WHO IS PART OF A
REGIONAL TASK FORCE DEALING
WITH.
THE FIREWORKS ISSUE. SAY THAT
THEIR COMMUNITY WAS WAS NOT
GOING TO DO ENFORCEMENT OR
MINIMAL ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE THEY
DIDN'T WANT TO SEIZE.
ILLEGAL FIREWORKS BECAUSE THEY
DID THEY KNEW WE WOULDN'T BE
ABLE TO COLLECT.
TO ME THAT'S A PROBLEM.
SINCE IT'S OUR STATUTORY
OBLIGATION TO DO THAT.
AND SO.
WERE SEEN SEEN CAUSE AND EFFECT
HERE WHERE IF WE'RE NOT ABLE TO
PERFORM OUR.
OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND COLLECT
THOSE AND PROPERLY DISPOSE OF OR
GET THE MATTER CALIFORNIA.
IT HAS THE.
A LINGERING EFFECT ON OVERALL
ENFORCEMENT.
FINANCE
WHY ARE WE USING TRAILER
LANGUAGE AND THE BUDGET REQUEST
FOR A BRAND NEW PROGRAM RATHER
THAN GOING THROUGH THE NORMAL
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS IN HAVING
THIS TO A POLICY COMMITTEE.
SO IN ORDER FOR US IS THAT THE
THE COSTING HIT OF THIS
PROPOSAL.
IS BASED ON ONLY DISPOSING OF
THE CREW THAT NON COMMERCIALLY
VIABLE FIREWORKS.
AND WITH THE WITH THE WAY FOR US
TO GET TO WHERE WE DON'T HAVE TO
DISPOSE OF ALL OF IT IS THROUGH
THE LANGUAGE SO. WITHOUT THIS
LANGUAGE ENACTING THIS PROGRAM
CHANGES WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE
SUBSTANTIALLY MORE IN THE BUDGET
YEAR AND DISPOSE OF ALL OF THAT
AS OPPOSED TO THE SMALLER GROUPS
RIGHT BUT YOU COULD'VE COME
INTO.
A LEGISLATOR AND HAVE A
STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM SET UP AND
WE WOULD OF HAD A HEARING IN THE
POLICY COMMITTEE AND SAYING OKAY
WHAT WE HAVE. PAINT STEWARDSHIP
AND MATTRESS STEWARDSHIP MAYBE
NOT WORKING SO BAD WELL BUT WE
STILL HAVE THE PROGRAMS. DITCHES
YOU KNOW I MEAN I HAVE A POLICY
COMMITTEE SOME OF THESE OTHER
ALL THESE OF THE MEMBERS FROM
POLICY COMMITTEE THAT'S A
FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION ON A BRAND
NEW PROGRAM.
MAY SEE IF IT WAS JUST MONEY
THAT THE PUT IN.
CONCERNS S..
RESPECT THAT I THINK WERE OPENED
THE CONVERSATION IF FOLKS TO EEO
WANT TO TALK ABOUT GOING
ALTERNATE ROUTES INTO AND I
THINK THE ADMINISTRATION'S
MISSILE TAKE ON IT. WAS THAT IN
ORDER TO GET THAT THE BUDGET
ASPECT IN PLACE THAT TRAILER
BILL LANGUAGE MADE SENSE BUT. I
MEAN WHAT WERE OPEN
CONVERSATIONS WITH FOLKS CENTER
NIELSEN.
AND I THANK YOU FOR RAISING THAT
POINT YOU KNOW MAYBE THIS IS
JUST A SMALL ITEM TEN MILLION
DOLLARS.
BUT IT'S BECOME A HABIT AROUND
HERE DOING MAJOR POLICY IN THIS
IS STILL MAJOR POLICY IN A
TRAILER BILL.
AND THIS IS A TAX A BIG TAX.
AN ONGOING TAX.
IT'S A BUILDING OF OUR STATE
BUDGET.
THE MOON TRAILER BILL STE.
I THINK NOT.
THIS DESERVES.
BEING THAT IT WOULD HAVE A
CONVERSATION.
WE DO NOT ACT ON THIS.
THEN WE HAVE A CONVERSATION.
THEN YOU INTRODUCE A BILL AND DO
IT THE PROPER WAY.
THIS IS CONTINUING ABUSE NEW
GOING TO HEAR MORE AND MORE FROM
ME ABOUT THIS IN ALL AREAS.
THE ABUSE OF THE BUDGET PROCESS
THROUGH TRAILER BILLS.
IT USED TO BE POOR FIVE TRAILER
BILLS A YEAR.
A TRAILER BILL IS NECESSARY TO
IMPLEMENT THE PROVISIONS OF THE
BUDGET.
NOW WE DO ALL KINDS OF THINGS I
THINK WE GOT OVER FORTY.
TRAILER BILLS FORTY ONE I THINK
TRAILER BILLS.
ACTIVIST TIME SO. I'M NOT GOING
TO SUPPORT THIS.
CENTER MCGUIRE.
HERE.
THAT HE WAS FOR MARSHALL HIGH IN
CHIEF.
.
JUST CLARIFY WITH ME ON THE RE
PURPOSING.
CAN YOU JUST GO WHAT. WHAT YOUR
DEFINITION IT IS OF THE AYE AYE
NURSING YOU'RE GONNA DESTROY
SOME NON COMMERCIAL BUT THEN?
JUST CLARIFY WHAT YOU GONNA DO
WITH THE REST THAT YOU HAVE
CURRENTLY IN IN STORAGE. SO PART
OF IS ONE OF THE INTENTS OF THE
STEWARDSHIP.
ORGANIZATION PARTNERSHIP IS
THAT WE WOULD WORK TOGETHER AND
IN THE MEMBERS OF THE
STEWARDSHIP ARE SUCH AS
SENSUALLY THE THE.
SAFE AND SANE FIREWORKS
INDUSTRY.
.
WHERE AT AND WE'VE WE'VE LOOKED
AT?
STATISTICS FROM THE FROM THE
PAST WE ESTIMATE ABOUT EIGHTY
PERCENT.
OF THE FIREWORKS SEIZED THAT
ISN'T WITH THAT WE STORE.
IS COMMERCIALLY VIABLE IN OTHER
WORDS IT CAN BE IT'S STILL IT'S
AN ORIGINAL PACKAGING. IT'S
STILL A VIABLE FOR SALE. IN
ANOTHER STATE WHERE IT IS LEGAL.
VERSES IN CALIFORNIA WHERE IT
IS ILLEGAL AND I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT SAFE AND SANE FIREWORKS
TALK ABOUT. THE.
DANGEROUS AND THERE'S A CAN GET
BUT YEAH THOSE KINDS OF
FIREWORKS AWARE AGAIN. LEAVING
CALIFORNIA THEY'RE NOT.
LEGAL BUT IN WYOMING THEY MIGHT.
BE LEGAL FOR OUR WOULD BE LEGAL.
AND SO THE THE PURPOSE SAYS IS
THAT THE THEIR ABILITY AND THEY
THE RESTORED YOUR PROGRAM THEIR
ABILITY TO REPURPOSE THOSE. THEY
GET A BENEFIT FROM THAT.
A FINANCIAL BENEFIT WHICH HELPS
A SUPPORT.
THE THE ENFORCEMENT EDUCATION
AND DISPOSAL EFFORTS IN
CALIFORNIA AND THAT'S THAT'S
WHERE THAT MANAGEMENT FEE COMES
OUT COMES OUT. IN SO THAT
THERE'S NO CONCERN THAT. WERE
PUT IN BACK OUT IN THE STREET.
AND THE SAME FOR EXAMPLE I CAN
THAT AND THEN AGAIN IN DEPTH
BACK IN CALIFORNIA ME THAT
THERE'S NO CONCERN ABOUT THAT.
THIRD WILL THERE'S ALWAYS
CONCERN AND THAT'S WHY.
OUR OUR VISION IS THAT.
IF FOR ONLY HAVING TO DISPOSE
OF TWENTY PERCENT OF WHAT WE
HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST WE CAN
UTILIZE THOSE AT THOSE
ADDITIONAL FUNDS. TO PUT
TOWARDS.
MORE PROACTIVE ENFORCEMENT
EFFORTS
SO.
INTERDICTION ACT ACTIVITIES AT
THAT THE BORDER.
INTERDICTION ACTIVITIES OUT
PORTS IN IN IT MODES OF ENTRY IN
THE CALIFORNIA SO THE POINT IS
IS TO BE MORE. PROACTIVE AS
OPPOSED TO. THE REACTIONARY AS
WE HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST AND
IT'S IT'S SYSTEM WIDE THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA IN NOT WANTING TO
SPEND TOO MUCH TIME ON
CONFISCATES FIREWORKS A NO WE A
LOT MORE IMPORTANT ITEMS BUT.
THERE'S NO LIABILITY TO THE
STATE THAT.
WE'VE BEEN HAVING IN STORAGE
AND THEN WE GIVEN BACK.
OR SIMPLY SELLING BACK THE
THERE'S NO LIABILITY FOR US.
I WOULD JUST BE CONCERNED ABOUT
THAT PEACE BUT I'M.
YOUR THOUGHTS.
BUT.
THROUGHOUT THE DISCUSSIONS WITH
ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS FIRED SHE'S
POLICE.
CHIEFS OF OUR LEAGUE OF CITIES
THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.

BROUGHT UP.
OKAY AND I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A
DUTY TO DESTROY.
I'M.
ALEJO OTHER THAN THE TWO
QUESTIONS YOU WANT ME TO ASK
ANYTHING ELSE.
YEAH I THINK WE AGREE ADDRESSES
AYE OF PROGRAMMATIC CHALLENGE
BUT RAISE THE SAME QUESTIONS AND
CONCERNS.
.
SPECIFICALLY REGARDING THE USE
OF THE BUDGET PROCESS THE TIMING
COMING IN THE ME REVISION AND
THE CONCERN THAT IT DOESN'T GIVE
YOU ALL MUCH TIME TO.
REALLY UP DIGGIN AND AND THINK
ABOUT IT.
LET'S OPEN UP THIS FIRECRACKER
DISCUSSION TO PUBLIC HEARING
OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.
THERE WOULD LIKE TO. ADDRESS THE
SUBCOMMITTEE.
PLEASE.
WITH ABSOLUTELY NO TREPIDATION
THIS IS RUSSELL NO ACT ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA FIRE CHIEFS
ASSOCIATION. AND THE FIRE
DISTRICTS ASSOCIATION CALIFORNIA
JUST
WE'RE WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF THIS
OF THIS SITE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
REQUEST.
NOW WE HAVE WORKED UP FOR YEARS.
AT AT VARIOUS.
MEETINGS I IN AROUND THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE ATTEMPTING TO
DEAL WITH THE. THE.
.
ILLEGAL FIREWORKS SEIZURE
STORAGE DISPOSAL LOT OF THESE
ARE STORED.
IN.
THE QUESTIONABLE STORAGE AREAS
THEY THEY COULD UNDER CALIFORNIA
LAW THEY THEY REALLY CAN'T BE
DISPOSED OF.
EASILY.
WITHOUT SHIPPING OUTSIDE THE
STATE.
WE BELIEVE THIS STEWARDSHIP
PROGRAM IS IS A WAY OF OF
BRINGING AGAIN BRINGING THE
MANUFACTURERS OF THE PRODUCTS
INTO THE PROCESS. AND HELPING
FUND THE.
A STABLE FUNDING SOURCE WHERE
WHEREBY WE CAN INCREASE A LOT OF
THE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED

AND AND MAKE IT MORE EFFECTIVE.
AND SO WITH THAT WE SUPPORT THIS
BUDGET REQUEST THANK YOU
ALRIGHT.
SENATE NIELSEN HATS.
THIS IS NOT A NEW ISSUE THAT'S
BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES
LITERALLY. DECADES.
AND WE WOULD BE LED TO BELIEVE
THAT. THIS IS BRAND NEW AND
WE'RE GOING TO FIX ALL THE
PROBLEMS OF THE PAST.
THIS IS BEEN WORKED ON FOR
DECADES EMMA NOT RIGHT.
ISN'T THE ESSENCE OF THIS IS
JUST OUR TAX ON THE CONSUMER TO
DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A MORE
STABLE SOURCE OF FUNDING.
IT ISN'T THAT THE BOTTOM LINE
HERE.
IT'S A TAX WRITE.
WHO PAYS WHOSE PACE THE MONEY
INTO THIS FUND IT IS ASSESSED AT
THE POINT OF SALE?
BOYS SALE AND RETAIL OKAY SO
THAT'S BY THE CONSUMER.
OBLIGATION.
ATTACKS
CORRECT.
THERE'S A PROP TWENTY SIX
DISCUSSION THAT I THINK IS STILL
ONGOING AS TO HOW IT SHOULD BE
DETERMINED IS THAT ATTACKS
RIFFIAN WERE INVOLVED IN THOSE
CONVERSATIONS.
BUT AGAIN. LET'S GET AROUND TO
HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS
IT'S THERE TO RUN IN THE SAYINGS
AND TRAILER BILL AND I'M NOT
JUST PICKING ON THIS ONE HAD ARE
GONNA HEAR.
FOR ME AND A LOT OF THEM AND YOU
ALREADY HAVE.
BUT MR ONE OTHER QUESTION FROM
LIKE ACT DIRECTOR TIM WHAT
OBJECT PIMLOTT.
BUT WE HAVE THESE ENORMOUS.
POWER LINES
GOING ALL OVER.
AND WE HAVE STORMS.
AND THE LINES BREAK THEY WILL
BREAK.
WHAT HAS BEEN THE POLICY AS FAR
AS?
ALLOWING THEIR UTILITIES.
TO CLEAN UP. UNDERNEATH.
THOSE POWER LINES SO THERE IS
NOT FUEL ENCROACHING WITHIN.
AT LEAST IN THE NUMBER OF FEET
OR A LINE COULD BREAK AND GO
DOWN AND IGNITE. THE TO DO WE
THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM TO
CLEAN-THOSE AREAS UP THAT IS
THEIR
RESPONSIBILITY MRI. GUESS IN
THAT SENATOR NIELSEN IN REALITY
IT'S BUT IT'S NOT JUST ALLOW
THEIR REQUIRED.
BY.
STATE PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE
THAT HAVE CERTAIN CLEARANCE AYE
AYE AROUND ALL OF THEIR
INFRASTRUCTURE AND BASED ON THE
TYPE OF INFRASTRUCTURE. THAT
DICTATES THE AMOUNT. OF THE
CLEARANCE THAT IS DONE.
WELL I'M AWARE OF SOME
COMPLAINTS. OVER YEARS AND SOME
FAIRLY RECENT OF.
THE LEAST THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.
IMPEDING. THE ABILITY OF THOSE
COMPANIES TO KEEP THOSE VARIOUS
PLANE.
AND IT IS THAT BEEN YOUR
EXPERIENCE SIR.
WELL I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT ARE
PORTIONS OF UTILITY
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT GOES THROUGH
FEDERAL LANDS BUT I CAN TELL YOU
THAT THE NEW LAWS ARE VERY
SPECIFIC ON.
IN THE PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE IN
WHAT THE UTILITIES ARE REQUIRED
TO DO. WELL AS IT TRAVERSES
THROUGH AGAIN PREDOMINATELY
PRIVATE LAND THESE ARE AREAS
WHERE THERE ARE EASEMENTS
THAT THE UTILITIES HAVE TO
ACCESS. THOSE CORRIDORS AND AND
THEY ARE MANDATED TO TO PROVIDE
THE AGAIN THE PRESCRIBED
CLEARANCE BASED ON THE TYPE OF
HARDWARE AND INFRASTRUCTURE IN
PLACE. THIS IS A GOOD DISCUSSION
AND I THINK MAYBE AT TWO FORTY
FIVE WE START ISSUE NUMBER
SEVENTEEN IT MAY BE A GOOD PLACE
TO PUT IT IN ON THE. ON THE.
CARBON PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
THERE'S A THERE'S A CLOSER NEXUS
THERE ALTHOUGH.
YEAH YOU NEVER KNOW WITH
FIRECRACKERS THERE'S SORT OF.
ALL OVER TIME WE'RE GONNA HOLD
THAT ITEM THINK YOU DON'T LEAVE
WILL BE BACK AT TWO FORTY FIVE
ON ISSUE NUMBER TWO SEVENTEEN
LET'S BRING UP. PARKS RECREATION
AND WE'RE GONNA LEARN ALL ABOUT
THE TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR
CALIFORNIA INDIAN HERITAGE
CENTER IN WEST SACRAMENTO.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
BURRS LUCKY YOLO COUNTY.
SO THIS ITEM ON YOUR AGENDA IT'S
A REQUEST FOR ONE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS IN GENERAL FUND
IN THE AUTHORITY INTO DOWN THERE
TO THE AUTHORITY TO.
CLAPPED
A LIKE AMOUNT AND PRIVATE
DONATIONS FOR A NEW CALIFORNIA
INDIAN HERITAGE CENTER. IT
REPLACES THE CURRENT TOM STATE
PARKS HISTORIC INDIAN MUSEUM
WHICH IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE
CENTERS FOR WHICH I MANY OF THE
TRIBAL COMMUNITY AND MEMBERS
HAVE COMMENTED AND SHARED WITH
US OVER DECADES AND DECADES AT
THIS IS CULTURALLY INSENSITIVE.
IT'S VERY SMALL IT'S ANTIQUATED
IT WAS.
BUILDS IN NINETEEN FORTY.
THAT WITHIN.
OUR OWN OUR OWN TRIBAL OBJECT
COLLECTION WITHIN THE CALIFORNIA
STATE PARK SYSTEM IS TENS AND
THOUSANDS OF OBJECTS TO MOST OF
THEM STAYING VERY SAFE. SAFELY
CAPS AND IN OUR WAREHOUSE
BUT THAT'S REALLY NOT KIND OF
HELPING CONNECT AND SHARE THE
RICH HERITAGE AND CELEBRATE THE
HERITAGE OF THE NATIVE PEOPLES
OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. WE
ARE ONLY ABLE TO REALLY PUT ON
DISPLAY AND INTERPRET A VERY
VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF THAT IN
OUR CURRENT MUSEUM.
.
THE LOCATION AND THIS WAS
SELECTED IN THE CITY OF WEST
SACRAMENTO ALONG THE BANKS OF
SACRAMENTO RIVER AT THE
CONFLUENCE OF THE TWO RIVERS.
THE CONFLUENCE OF THE TWO RIVERS
WAS CHOSEN BECAUSE IT SOME FOR
VARIOUS REASONS THE PROXIMITY TO
THE STATE CAPITOL BUT ALSO THAT
IT'S A BAY AREA OF CULTURAL
SIGNIFICANCE. ON TO THE TRIBAL
COMMUNITY.
THE PLACE WAS ACTUALLY.
SELECTED THROUGH A TASK FORCE
THAT WAS ESTABLISH THREE SB
TWENTY SIXTY THREE STATUTES OF
TWO THOUSAND AND TWO AND THIS
TASK FORCE OF NATIVE PEOPLES WAS
BROUGHT TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY A
LOCATION FOR A NEW MUSEUM SUCH
AS THIS.
ONE OF THE THINGS ALSO YOU HERE
IS WE WE REALLY DON'T CALL IT A
MUSEUM SO MUCH AS WE CALLED A
CULTURAL CENTER.
IT'S REALLY MEANT TO BE A
GATHERING PLACE NOT JUST A PLACE
OF STATIC DISPLAYS BUT WE WOULD
USE. ON NEW TECHNOLOGY TO ENGAGE
WITH THE PUBLIC CAPE THREE
TWELVE KIDS.
AND REALLY BRING CALIFORNIA
HISTORY TO LIFE THROUGH NEW
TECHNOLOGY.
ALSO WOULD BE A GATHERING PLACE
FOR THE TRIBES ACROSS OF THIS
THE STATEMENT WOULD BE I'M
UNIQUE AND THE ONLY ONE OF ITS
KIND.
SO NOT ONLY IS THIS PARTNERSHIP
ABOUT THE PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT
ON FOR THIS CULTURAL CENTER. BUT
IT'S ALSO ABOUT COMING TOGETHER
AND COLLECTIVELY DEVELOPING AN
INTERPRETIVE PROGRAM THAT HONORS
THE RICH HERITAGE OF THE NATIVE
PEOPLES OF THE STATE. AND THAT
ALSO GIVES THEM AN OPPORTUNITY
TO SHARE AND CELEBRATE THE
NATIVE HERITAGE OF THE STATE
USING NATIVE VOICES TO THAT'S
GOING TO BE A VERY KEY
COMPONENT.
OF THE.
AND I THINK WITHOUT THE ONE
THING I WOULD MENTION IS I THINK
YOUR.
AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THE
COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS OF OUR
FRIENDS AT THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE OF HAD FOR US.
AND WE ARE IN REAL TIME HAVING
CONVERSATIONS WITH THOSE AND WE
THINK THAT WE CAN AMELIORATE
MOST OF MOST OF THAT FOR YOU.
SO THEM SEASON WE HEAR ABOUT
THESE THINGS IN THE MIDDLE OF
MAY ARM HOOSIER KURT CURATOR.
WHO'S THE CURATOR FOR THE
CURRENT MUSEUM. THAT WOULD BE
THE CALIFORNIA STATE PARK SYSTEM
SO IT IS A STATE PARK.
BUT IT BUT WHO IS THE PERSON
PERSON BECAUSE I MEAN I DON'T
KNOW A LOT ABOUT MUSEUMS WE HAVE
A LITTLE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
AND THE WAY PEOPLE MAKE MUSEUMS
WITH DOE. OR TWO FOR MAKE DOUGH
FROM MUSEUMS IS THEY TAKE THEIR
ARTIFACTS THAT THEY HAVE IN THE
PUT TOGETHER AN EXHIBIT. AND
THEN THEY TAKE OUT ON THE ROAD
THERE'S ALL THESE OTHER MUSEUMS
ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT WOULD
LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT CALIFORNIA
INDIANS AND IT'S NOT SO MUCH
IT'S NICE TO HAVE A GOOD HOME.
THAT'S ALWAYS GREAT BUT THE
DOUGH THAT YOU MAKE IN MUSEUM
BUSINESS IS PUTTING TOGETHER
YOUR EXHIBIT AND IN TAKEN NAY TO
CARNEY. CARNEGIE MELLON TAKEN IT
TO NEW YORK GOING DOWN TO LA YOU
TAKE THAT EXHIBIT AND THAT
BRINGS IN. MONEY FOR AT THE
FACILITY.
THAT COULD HAPPEN.
BEEN YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT ALL
THIS STUFF WHO IS THE PERSON.
THAT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THAT
SO THAT REALLY WOULD FALL UNDER
OUR JURISDICTION BUT LET ME TALK
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH THESE OBJECTS.
SO WE HAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
TRIBAL OBJECTS ON IN MCCLELLAN
IN A CRIME IN A CLIMATE
CONTROLLED WAREHOUSE ALONG WITH
VARIOUS OTHER MUSEUM OBJECTS
THAT. IT IS THE STATE'S
CALIFORNIA STATE PARKS MUSEUM
COLLECTION.
WE TREAT THOSE OBJECTS AS TRULY
BELONGING TO THE VARIOUS ON
NATIVE PEOPLES AROUND THE STATE
SO WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH
THEM IF WE WERE TO DO SOMETHING
LIKE THAT IT WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT
REALLY WORKING CLOSELY WITH THEM
TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD BE
INTERESTED. IN.
IF YOU GO INTO THE MUSEUM IT'S
VERY VERY SMALL.
IT'S VERY ANTIQUATED IT'S VERY
STATIC DISPLAY IF YOU WENT THERE
AS.
IT IN GRADE SCHOOL YOU PROBABLY
WOULD HAVE. IT WOULD TAKE YOU
BACK IN TIME BECAUSE IT LOOKS
EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AND WE
DON'T HAVE A VERY HIGH LEVEL
MUSEUM CURATOR THAT I WOULD SAY.
THAT IS AT THE LEVEL OF SAY OUR
MUSEUM STAFF THAT WE HAVE AT
HEARST CASTLE ALSO THE RAILROAD
MUSEUM PARTLY BECAUSE OF THE
SIZE OF IT WE HAVE TREMENDOUSLY
DEDICATED STAFF. AND DOCENTS
THAT REALLY HAVE DEDICATED THEIR
LIFE'S WORK TO THIS SMALL
ANTIQUATED MUSEUM.
BUT A NEW FACILITY WOULD I
THINK ALLOW FOR THE TYPES OF
THINGS THAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING
AND NOT ONLY THAT. BUT ALLOW ONE
STATE LOCATION TO NOT JUST
HIGHLIGHT THAT THE TRIBAL
OBJECTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY
WITHIN THE STATE PARKS
COLLECTION BUT ALSO THE UC
SYSTEM.
BUT THERE IT WOULD BE A
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UC SYSTEM
WITH OTHER STATES AND POSSIBLY
EVEN WITH OTHER NATIONS BECAUSE
THAT IS ONE THING WE HAVE OTHER.
NATION'S I ACTUALLY HAVE NEED
OF ARTIFACTS COME FROM FROM
CALIFORNIA TO I MEAN FIGHT BY
DEFINITION. EVERYTHING THAT'S IN
THE MUSEUM IS SUPPOSED TO BE
PRECIOUS ARE SENSITIVE EVER YOU
KNOW DELICATE AND FRAGILE AND
TOLD THE LIST GOES ON SO YOU
KNOW YOU WHETHER IT'S.
EGYPTIAN OR NATIVE
AMERIKANISCHER UP AMERICAN OR
WHATEVER THESE HILL KING TUT IN
ALL THOSE THINGS ARE THERE.
THEIR DELICATE AND.
ACT I THINK SOMEBODY SOMEBODY
OTHER THAN ME NEEDS TO BE
ORGANIZING THAT BUT PUTTING
THAT.
TOGETHER THAT EGG EXHIBIT SO
THAT OTHER PEOPLE YOU KNOW IT'S
THERE'S TO.
THOUGHTS HERE ONE ISSUE PUT IN
THE WAREHOUSE PUT IT IN THAT
TEMPERATURE AND NOBODY EVER SEES
IT AND THE OTHER IS THAT YOU GET
IT OUT TO THE PUBLIC. AND THIS
IS ONE WAY TO DO IT BUT THE
OTHER BIGGER WAITED DO IT IS A
CURATOR WHO PUTS THESE THINGS
TOGETHER AND SAYS HERE WE HAVE
THE SHOW AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO DO IT. I MEAN YOU SEE
IS EQUALLY IS GUILTY OF
WAREHOUSING ALL THESE THINGS AND
YOU NEVER SEE IT AND NOBODY
COMES UP WITH AN IDEA TO SAY
THIS IS THE PUBLIC'S. ASSETS.
DID SOMEBODY IN THERE WHO KNOWS
ABOUT THIS NOT ME BUT SOMEBODY
WHO KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND PUT
TOGETHER THE SOME. EARLY TOOLS
OR SOME OF IT OUT SOMETHING THAT
THEY'RE THE VERY CLEVER THESE
PEOPLE MISTER CHAIR I THINK
ABOUT A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT AS
WE ENVISIONED AND IMAGINED WHAT
A NEW CULTURAL CENTER WOULD LOOK
LIKE WE VERY MUCH LOOK TO. SOME
OF THE MOST CURRENT MUSEUM SO WE
LOOKED AT.
THE SMITHSONIAN NATIVE AMERICAN
MUSEUM AND STUDIED DOT. WHEN YOU
ESTABLISH A WORLD CLASS MUSEUM
AS THE ONE THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT HERE YOU WOULD ABSOLUTELY
HAVE A WORLD CLASS MUSEUM
CURATOR. THE OTHER THING I I
THINK I WOULD SAY IS THAT WHEN
WE THINK ABOUT THE OBJECTS THAT
WE HAVE WITHIN JUST OUR OWN
COLLECTION. BOMB AT THE STATE
PARK SYSTEM. THAT.
MANY OF THE TRIBAL OBJECTS.
IT'S
IT'S EXTREMELY SENSITIVE AS YOU
KNOW CALIFORNIA HAS A VERY
COMPLICATED HISTORY AND THE
NATURE IN WHICH A LOT OF THESE
TRIBAL OBJECTS WERE ACQUIRED.
AND BECAME PART OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE PARK SYSTEM.
WAS WAS PART OF THAT
COMPLICATED HISTORY AND SO WE'RE
VERY.
BUT MINDFUL OF THAT AS WE PUT
MANY OF THESE ARTIFACTS ON
DISPLAY AND THE WAY THAT WE TALK
ABOUT THESE THINGS ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING
IS THAT WE THROUGH TECHNOLOGY
HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CATALOG. AS
MANY OF THE MUSEUM OBJECTS THAT
WE HAVE NOT.
NOT JUST NECESSARILY THE TRIBAL
OBJECTS BUT THE VAST OTHER RARE
THE COLLECTION WHICH IS.
WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT
THE SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM ALSO IS
DOING AND ONE OF THE REASONS
THAT WE DO THAT IS THAT YOU CAN
PUT. MORE INFORMATION FROM AND
EXCHANGED ELECTRONICALLY WITH A
LOT OF THE OTHER.
THINKERS ON THESE ISSUES ACROSS
THE STATE IN OTHER COUNTRIES AND
COMPARING NOTES AND LEARN FROM
EACH OTHER SO THAT WE CAN PIECE
TOGETHER A BETTER COMPREHENSIVE
SENSE OF OUR HISTORY.
TAPIMMUNE CHAIRMAN I CRISTINA
SNYDER IN THE TRAVEL ADVISOR FOR
THE GOVERNOR.
I JUST WANTED TO ADD TO THAT
YOU KNOW WE ARE THINKING ABOUT
ALL THESE THINGS AND WE JUST
WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS
GOT ACROSS THE FINISH LINE
BEFORE WE ENGAGE IN A
COMPREHENSIVE CONSULTATION WITH
TRIBES BECAUSE ANYTHING THAT WE
WOULD WANT TO DO. WOULD BE.
VERY HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY THE
TRIBES BECAUSE THIS THESE ARE
THEIR ARTIFACTS AND SO I THINK
THAT.
.
EVEN IF YOU DON'T SEE IT NOW
THERE IS A PLAN AND WE WANT TO
ENGAGE AS RESPECTFULLY AS
POSSIBLE.
YEAH I MEAN YOU KNOW. WE GO TO
LONDON WE GOT ALL THE MUSEUMS
THAT EACH OPTIONS SAID TURKS
THE.
SPANIARDS IT'S I I KNOW WE HAVE
A.
.
SPOTTY HISTORY OF HOW THESE
ITEMS HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED RIGHT I
WOULD THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME
THAT SOMEBODY OPENS UP THE
MUSEUM SO I'M NOT SO IT'S
OBVIOUSLY HEALTHY TO DO IT BUT
THEY ARE THE PROPERTY OF
EVERYBODY IN THE CITY
CALIFORNIA.
JUST LIKE THEIR PROPERTY OF DID
THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT AND EVERY
OTHER STATE THAT OPPOSITE ELLIOT
WOULD YOU HAVE.
I'M THINKING WE HAVE A COUPLE OF
CONCERNS WITH THE PROPOSAL AND
THE FIRST ONE IS JUST ONE OF THE
TWO HUNDRED MILLION NUMBER IS IS
REALLY THE RIGHT AMOUNT THAT WE
SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT. OTHER
IS A STUDY THAT THEY REFERENCED.
LAYING OUT SOME OF THESE PLANS
WITH ABOUT TEN YEARS OLD. TIMES
ON THE CRYSTAL SOME
CONVERSATIONS THAT ONGOING WAS
STAKEHOLDERS AND SO.
WE WONDER TWO HUNDRED MILLION
WAS IT WAS REALLY THE RIGHT
AMOUNT AND THEN SECONDLY IS THE.
.
LANGUAGE AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS
AT AUTHORIZED THE FULL ONE
HUNDRED MILLION.
.
IMMEDIATELY AND SO AS YOU KNOW
THE TYPICAL CAPITAL A PROCESSES
SO HOW THE DEPARTMENT COME BACK
EACH PHASE OF THE PROJECT.
IN THAT PROVIDE A CERTAIN LEVEL
LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT THAT WE
THINK WOULD BE LOST BY JUST
PROVIDING ALL UP FRONT.
IT SOUNDS LIKE THE.
ADMINISTRATION IS WORKING ON
SOME REVISIONS TO CHARTER
ADDRESS I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH THEM ON THE.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY SQUARE FEET
THIS YOU ENVISION AND THIS
FACILITY.
AND WE GOT FORTY THREE HUNDRED
TODAY.
YOLO COUNTY IS.
FIFTY THOUSAND SQUARE FEET
TWENTY THOUSAND SQUARE FEET.
OBRIEN DUBIOUS STATE PARKS OF.
THE THAT THE FACILITY AS
ENVISIONED IN THIS DOCUMENT
HERE.
THIS IS A MASTER PLAN THAT WAS
DONE IN TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HAS
SOME PRETTY EXTENSIVE.
FOR PLANS AND PROGRAMMATIC
AREAS IDENTIFIED.
IT IDENTIFIES AYE BETWEEN I
DON'T BELIEVE A HUNDRED THOUSAND
UNDER TWENTY THOUSAND SQUARE
FEET OF OF FACILITY SPACE.
IT ALSO INCLUDES.
OUTDOOR PLAZA IS OPEN SPACE
AREAS GATHERING AREAS AND.
HARDSCAPE AND AND TRAILS AN
INTERPRETIVE.
AREAS A ESOS PARKING AND DROP
OFF AREAS SUCH THE.
THE PORTION OF THE PROPHESIED
THAT CERTAIN OBJECTS TO THE
RIVER IS FOR THREE ACRES.
AND THEN THERE'S ADDITIONAL
EIGHT ACRES THAT'S ON IS SO DRY
SO THE LEVY THAT WOULD. LIKELY
BE A GOOD.
KIND OF A WELCOME A GATEWAY
CENTER TO THAT THE CENTER.
I'M I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE
THE FORTY THREE HUNDRED.
SO WHAT'S THE CURRENT ONES IT'S
A STAFF REPORT CITIZENS AT
SUTTER'S MILL IT'S FOUR THOUSAND
THREE HUNDRED RIGHT.
YEAH.
THAT'S WHAT IF THE CURRENT.
MUSEUM AS SOCIAL CENTERS FOR TO
PARENT CENTER SMELL THAT'S A
DIFFERENT YEAH SENATOR NIELSEN.
THIS THAT LANDED CONFLUENCE WILL
MEET THAT BE A NEW ACQUISITION.
WE CURRENTLY OWN EIGHTY ACRES.
OF THE SITE ON WE'RE PURSUING
THE ADDITIONAL FORTY THREE ACRES
ON WITH THE CITY VOTE WAS
SACRAMENTO WERE IN DISCUSSIONS
WITH THEM NOW AND AND.
WE HOPE TO ACQUIRE THAT VERY
SOON.
WELL WITH ALL OF THE.
THOUSANDS OF ACRES.
BUT STATE PARKS HAVE IN THEIR
POSSESSION AND CALIFORNIA.
COULDN'T SOME OF THE LAND THAT
YOU ALREADY HAVE AVAILABLE
SUFFICE.
WITHOUT HAVING TO EXPEND THAT
TREMENDOUS CAPITAL EXPENDITURE.
BUT A VERY PRIME LOCATION THE
CONFLUENCE OF TWO RIVERS.
THEATER NIELSEN.
THE TASK FORCE TO HAD ON
CONSIDERED VARIOUS SITES AROUND
THE STATE ONE.
INCLUDED.
AE A SPOT ALONG IN A PARK
FOUNTAIN FULSOME IN A PARK
LOCATION THAT WE ACTUALLY
ALREADY OWNED.
BUT THE TASK FORCE FELT VERY
STRONGLY ABOUT THE CITY OF LOS
SACRAMENTO ACQUISITION AND WE'RE
WORKING WITH THE CITY OF LOS
SECOND WITH SACRAMENTO TO DO.
.
THAT THEY WOULD PROVIDE US THIS
THIS PROPERTY SUMMER NOT
PURCHASING THE PROPERTY OWNER
DONATED YOU CAN FOR DOLLARS.
PARDON GOING TO DONATE THE
PROPERTY YES SO WE'RE WORKING
THROUGH THAT ACQUISITION.
AND WHERE WHERE FEELING VERY
OPTIMISTIC ABOUT OR WORKING TO
FINALIZE IT RIGHT NOW ON THE
TASK FORCE FELT VERY STRONGLY
ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR SITE
PARTICULARLY BECAUSE OF A
CONFLUENCE OF THE TWO RIVERS.
AND ALSO THE PROXIMITY.
TO THE CAPITAL WAS VERY
SIGNIFICANT SADDAM TO THE TRIBAL
COMMUNITY TO HAVE A CLOSE
RELATIONSHIP WITH CALIFORNIA
SEAT OF GOVERNMENT.
NOW IT IT WOULD TO HEAR WHAT I
HEAR IS THE TRIBES THUS FAR.
REALLY HAVE NOT BEEN
SUBSTANTIALLY ENGAGE YOUR
CONSULT THOUGH.
IS THAT CORRECT. TRIED YOU MAY
BE AWARE OF THIS. BUT HAD THEY
BEEN ENGAGED IN.
PLANNING AT THIS STAGE OF ALL
THIS SO YEAH I TED TAKE YEARS
AGO TASK FORCE BUT THAT'S
DIFFERENCE IN THE TRIBES NUMBER
OF WORKSHOPS A PUBLIC PUBLIC
WORKSHOPS. AND THERE'S AN
ENGAGEMENT PROCESS FOR THAT THAT
VISION WAS IDENTIFIED SO WE WE
HOPE TO BUILD UPON THAT THAT
WORK THAT WAS DONE IN TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT. TO REFINE.
LE THAT THE VISION IN THE SCOPE
OF THIS PROJECT WE BELIEVE THE
MAGNITUDE WILL REMAIN THE SAME.
BUT IT MAY BE TWEAKED A LITTLE
BIT HERE AND THERE TO TO MAKE IT
A REFLECT THE THE STATEWIDE.
VISION FOR THE CENTER.
SHOULDN'T THAT BE DONE BEFORE WE
MAKE SUCH A TREMENDOUS
OBLIGATION.
SHOULDN'T THAT WORK BE DONE
FIRST LET ME ASK THE ANALYST
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR OPINION.
WELL OUR OUR RECOMMENDATION.
ON THE BASED ON THE CURRENT
LANGUAGE THAT WE HAVE WAS I JUST
TO FIND MAYBE SOME OF THE
PRELIMINARY IF THE LEGISLATURE
TO FIND SOME OF THE.
THINGS THAT WOULD BE NEEDED IN
THE BUDGET HERE TO MOVE FORWARD.
SO WHATEVER PLANNING SUCH AS A
SAY AND THEN HOW THE
ADMINISTRATION RETURN NEXT YEAR.
WITH AN UPDATED INAPPROPRIATE
ADDITIONAL FUNDING LIKE I WOULD
ARGUE THAT THERE HAS TO BE A
KIND OF SOME RANGE ON THIS THAT
IT DOES COME BACK TO THE
LEGISLATURE THAT WE JUST DON'T
GIVE A CARTE BLANCHE. HERE.
THAT WAS CHAIRMAN YOUR POINT I'M
I'M AWARE OF SOME OF ONE THING
THAT'S WAS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT.
AND IT WASN'T EXPANSIVE WE DID
NEED A BIG NEW BUDGET ITEM.
BUT THE CALIFORNIA ARTS COUNCIL
AND MY WIFE WAS.
THE ACTING DIRECTOR AND DIRECTOR
THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR MANY
YEARS OVER THERE.
THEY BROUGHT TO PARKS AND FORMED
A PARTNERSHIP.
TO GO THROUGH THE. WAREHOUSES IN
WEST SACRAMENTO.
AND IDENTIFY AND SELECT.
INDIAN BASKETRY.
THAT WAS THEN THOSE.
DARKENED. HALLWAYS AND STORAGE
RACKS FOR DECADES.
AND THEY SELECTED.
AND CREATED A COLLECTION OF IN
THEY AND CALIFORNIA INDIAN
BASKETRY.
THAT THEN WAS HOUSED AT THE
CALIFORNIA MUSEUM HERE.
I THINK THEY TOOK IT ON THE ROAD
TO SOME DEGREE.
BUT THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF
SOMETHING THAT THAT COULD BE
DONE WITHOUT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT
OF EXPATS IN TERMS OF GETTING
INTO THOSE ARCHIVES OVER THERE
AND I CERTAINLY AGREE THAT WE
SHOULD DO THAT TO A LEGISLATURE
TO GREAT.
BUT I'M NOT SURE WE NEED THIS
BIG FACILITY FOR THAT SENATE
MCGUIRE ON THEM.
THE HERITAGE CENTER THINK IT'S
MUCH AMEND RECTOR THAT THINK OF
THE PRESENTATION.
.
MODERN DAY CONSTRUCTION COSTS
BRIGHT TO ME THEY WERE ARE YOU
BASING OFF. THE HUNDRED MILLION
PLUS THE HUNDRED MILLION IN
MATCHING RIGHT SO MY.
GOT WOULD SAY YOU'RE LOOKING AT
A POTENTIAL THREE HUNDRED.
THREE MILLION DOLLAR.
BOTH WITH SITE ACQUISITION PAIN
FOR THE DIRT.
SOFT COSTS AS WELL AS PART
BECAUSE OF THE CONSTRUCTION
SUMMER RIGHT AROUND THERE.
YES SO THE A TWO THOUSAND A
STUDY. OF THE TOTAL COSTS WAS
QUITE A BIT LOW LOWER THAN THAN
OUR CURRENT ESTIMATE AND THAT'S
MAINLY BECAUSE CONSTRUCTION
COSTS HAVE ESCALATED OVER OVER
TIME WITH OF LABOR TERMS LABOR
AND MATERIALS.
WE ALSO.
AND LOOKING AT THE TECHNO
TECHNOLOGICAL COMPONENTS OF THE
OF THE PROJECT MAKING SURE THAT
WERE YOU SEEN.
MODERN MOTOR TECHNOLOGY FOR.
INTERPRETATION SUCH
WHAT'S THAT WOULD YOU WOULD YOU
HAVE.
PROJECTS SHE TO WHAT THIS MAY
COST IF YOU RUN THOSE NUMBERS
YES WE HAVE WRITTEN AND RICHARD
TOOK THE THE TWO THOUSAND EIGHT
ESTIMATE. AND IF YOU ESCALATE TO
TODAY'S.
CONSTRUCTION BECAUSE USING THE
THE STANDARD.
AND DIFFERENT JOURNAL SERVICES
CONCERT PRODUCTION COST INDEX
US WAY THAT UP.
HAS BEEN ROUGHLY THIRTY PERCENT
SINCE TWO THOUSAND EIGHT AND
THEN YOU WOULD A PROJECT TO THE
START OF CONSTRUCTION FIVE
YEARS.
AND THAT WILL.
BASICALLY GET YOU TO THE TWO
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.
SO THE ESTIMATES.
WAS ROUGHLY.
HAS HAS RIDLEY CHANGE EXCEPT
FOR THE JUSTICE THE ESCALATION
COSTS.
BUT JUST TO THINGS NURSING IS A
HUNDRED MILLION.
I THAT WOULD BE DEPOSITED IN THE
ACCOUNT PLUS ANOTHER HUNDRED
MILLION FOR MATCHING CORRECT.
SO THE MATCHING. YOUR RAISING
MONEY FOR WHAT WHAT.
WHAT WOULD YOU FOR THE BALANCE
OF CONSTRUCTION SO BECAUSE A
FOUNDRY HUNDRED MILLION NET
THAT'S ARE TRYING TO GET WHAT IS
THAT THE TOTAL NUMBER THAT
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR CONSTRUCTION
ONE HUNDRED MILLION OUR DEPOSIT
INTO THE FIGHTER SEEN THAT? AND
THEN THERE'S AN APPROPRIATION.
FROM THAT FUND UNDER MILLION
DOLLARS THAT BETTER MANAGE THOSE
TRANSFERRED IS APPROPRIATE FOR
THE PROJECT IN ADDITION TO THAT
THERE'S A HUNDRED MILLION IN IN
AND AND.
OR ON THE SAME TABLE A TOTAL OF
STUDENT MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE
PROJECT.
BUT HIGH I THOUGHT THE OTHER THE
HUNDRED MILLION IS FOR MATCHING
THE SECOND HUNDRED MILLIONS FOR
MATCHING NO.
WE SUFFER DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
TO MATCH THE INITIAL ONE HELLO
TO MATCH HER TWO HUNDRED TOTAL I
GET THANK YOU SO MUCH GATTACA
GOT IN MY LAST QUESTION IS AND
SO. I DEPARTMENT FIND EACH YEAR.
YOUR FIRM ON THAT.
BUT THE TWO HUNDRED MILLION IN
REGARDS THAT'S GOING TO COVER
SITE ACQUISITION PLUS
CONSTRUCTION COSTS. THAT IS
DESTINED AS OF RIGHT NOW WE'VE
REVIEWED THE NUMBERS AND.
.
IN THE EVENT THAT MORE WAS
NEEDED WE'D HAVE TO COME BACK
BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE.
MAYBE A IT'S GOT CHANGER HER
YEAH.
IN IN THAT YEAH AND I MEAN IT
WOULDN'T JUST BE THE STATE'S
OBLIGATION MONTHS LOOKED AT AS A
JOINT PARTNERSHIP THIS PROJECT.
IN IN EXACT RICHARD YOU SAID I
HADN'T THE LAST QUESTION WAS
GOING TO BE SET IS THERE GONNA
BE ANY OUTREACH.
FOR.
PRIDE THAT I CONTRIBUTIONS
WHETHER IT'S FROM A PRIVATE NON
PROFITS IN YOUR FOUNDATIONS
EXEDRA CERTAINLY THAT IS THE
ULTIMATE GOAL OF THE ASSN WHITE
STRUCTURED IN THE WAY THAT IT
IS.
IT IS THE TWO HUNDRED MILLION
COVER EVERYTHING INSIDE IS A
BILL TO SHALL.
OUTSIDE IS DUE TO A MILLION IS
FROM SOUP TO NUTS IT ALL EXHIBIT
SIX CENTER OR WE HAVE TO FIND
REYES COULD BE ABLE LOOK AT FULL
BUILD OUT. IS ESTIMATED TO
PROVIDE THE TOTAL PROJECT COST
AT THIS TIME MOST ARTIFACTS
CERTAIN AND.
MATERIALS THAT STATE ALREADY
HAS AND AS YOU LOOK AT IT LIKE
INTERACTIVE IS WITH THE DIRECTOR
INSANE INTERACTIVE THING AND I'M
SURE A LOT OF TECHNOLOGY THAT WE
NEED TO BE BUILT IN EXCEPT RIGHT
AS WELL.
RIGHT YET PART OF THE DESIGN.
PART OF THE DESIGN PROCESS IS
TO DIVERT DEVELOP THAT CONTENT
AND AND AND AND THEN WHAT YOU
HAVE THAT CONTENT AND FIGURE OUT
HOW DO YOU WANT TO I'M DISPLAY
THAT THE CONTENTS OF ALL THE
DISPLAYS AND ALL THE
PROGRAMMING.
THAT'S ALL THE ME PART OF ARE
DESIGNED SO HE DESIGNED THE
BUILDING.
AND THE CONTENTS AND AND
EVERYTHING INSIDE THE SAME TIME
SO THE THE THE KINDA GO TOGETHER
WOULD YOU BE COMING BACK TO THE.
LEGISLATURE IN REGARDS TO A INYO
OPERATING COSTS.
I'M YES. YES SO.
THE BUDGET PROPOSAL THAT'S
BEFORE YOU IDENTIFIES POTENTIAL
OPERATING COSTS TO THE EXTENT
THAT IT'S OPERATES IT WILL BE
OPERATED THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP
WITH. ON BOTH CALIFORNIA STATE
PARKS STUFF ALONG WITH ON ANY IN
ANY.
VOLUNTEERS AND DOTES DOCENTS IN
THE TRIBAL COMMUNITY BUT THAT
WILL COME TO YOU IN THE FUTURE.
LATER YEARS OUT FOR OPERATIONAL
COSTS
SO MY LECTURE ON THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS AT THE AGONY OF
SPACE DISTRICT AT PURCHASED A
TOP SHARON FOUNDATION.
AND I WOULD HOPE THAT THAT WAS.
YOU CAN BE IN THE VISION OF
ESTABLISHING.
THE HERITAGE CENTER FOUNDATION
SO THAT WE CAN. LOOK TO A
PRIVATE CONTRIBUTIONS TO BE ABLE
TO HELP WIH THE GOING OUT COSTS
OF OPERATING. THAT MEN DIRECTOR.
YES I'M SENATOR.
AND THEN HOPEFULLY I CAN
ADDRESS SEVERAL OF THE QUESTIONS
THAT COME UP.
.
THERE WAS A LOT OF TRIBAL
ENGAGEMENT OVER A VERY LONG
PERIOD OF TIME OVER THE LAST
DECADE BUT I WILL BE CANDID WITH
YOU THAT THE CONVERSATION HAD
SOMEONE RUN STALE.
THIS BUT OF THIS ONE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS.
WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS PLACED
IN THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET.
LAST FRIDAY IN AS YOU CAN
IMAGINE THAT COMPLETELY
JUMPSTART'S THOSE CONVERSATIONS
AND CHANGE THE DYNAMICS OF THOSE
CONVERSATIONS. WOULD ALSO SAYS
TO PARTNERS IS THAT THE STATE OF
SAN THAT WE STAND WITH YOU THAT
THIS IS IMPORTANT TO THROUGH TO
BUILD A HERITAGE CENTER THAT IS
WORTHY. OF.
UNDER YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS WE
WANT TO CELEBRATE ALONGSIDE A
FEW WITH YOU BUT IT IS DONE
THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP.
WE HOW OF A LOT OF OUR STATE
PARK SYSTEMS ACROSS THE STATE
BENEFIT AND IF NOT FOR ON NON
PROFITS AND VARIOUS PARTNERS.
PEOPLE WOULD NOT BE BE ABLE TO
EXPERIENCE THE LEVEL OF ENHANCED
ON VISITOR EXPERIENCE THAT THEY
DO. DOWN SO FROM THE BEGINNING
OF THIS NOT JUST FROM THE THE.
PHILANTHROPIC SUPPORT IN THE
FINANCIAL SUPPORTER BUT THAT
LOOKING FORWARD TO OPERATE ON TO
DESIGN THE CONTENT TO DESIGN THE
MATERIALS AND AND AND THE
TECHNOLOGY WE EXPECT OUR
PARTNERS ARM IN ARM WITH US. I
THINK A GOOD LOCAL.
EXAMPLE WOULD BE THE CALIFORNIA
STATE RAILROAD MUSEUM WHEN YOU
COME TO THE MUSEUM.
YOU MEET WITH DOCENTS AND IT'S
VERY DIFFICULT TO TELL THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIS A DOCENT
WHO'S OUR OWN STATE PARK STAFF
AND EVERYONE JUST PLANS AND.
SO SEAMLESSLY TOGETHER SO THAT
WILL ABSOLUTELY BE PART OF THAT
CONVERSATION IN TERMS OF HOW CAN
WE BE REALLY SMART TO PARTNER
AND NOT JUST FROM A RESOURCES
PERSPECTIVE FOR THE OPERATIONS
OF THIS NEW HERITAGE CENTER. BUT
WE'VE ALSO FOUND THAT
PARTNERSHIP IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT
THE CHECK WRITING PIECE OF IT
BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE
A BROADER GROUP OF AMBASSADORS
FOR PARK AND TO MAKE A STATE
PARK. RELEVENT ONTO THESE
COMMUNITIES BECAUSE THEY HAVE
DEEPER CONNECTIONS THEN WE WILL
I COMPLETELY AGREE THIS IN MY
LAST ITEM. MISTER CHAIR IS THAT
I. WHAT I WAS WARY ABOUT AND I
KNOW THAT'S PLANS ALWAYS IN YOUR
MIND MANUFACTURES ISSUE WHEN WE
DO HIT THE SKIDS FOR THE
DOWNTURN? AYE AND IT ALWAYS
SEEMS THE FIRST THING TO GO ARE
RESOURCE AGENCIES
I WHICH I. HAVE SIXTEEN
FRUSTRATION WITH A THAT SAID I'M
BEING IN TO PREPARE FOR WHAT
THAT WE LOOK LIKE A IN TRYING TO
BE A TO GET. AS MANY MATCHING
DOLLARS WHETHER IT'S NONPROFIT
OR FROM.
TRIBES FROM ACROSS THE DID THE
STATE SO IT CAN ABSORB ANY TYPE
OF HIT THAT WE MAY HAVE AN
ECONOMY AND I THINK THAT WOULD.
THAT WHAT I'M HEARING YOU SAY
IT'S THAT'S ABSOLUTELY PART OF
THE MISSION AND TO BE ABLE TO
KICK START THAT IS WELL.
AND PERHAPS I THINK.
WHEN I WOULD LIKE SOME CLARITY
THIS PROPOSAL IN FRONT OF US
* FOR NINETY POINT SIX
MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION PHASES.
WE HAVE ANOTHER HUNDRED MILLION
THAT'S OUT THERE.
SENATE MCGUIRE DID NASUS IS THE
IS THE PLAN NOW IS THAT NINETY
POINT SIX MILLION IS THAT GOING
TO BE THE WHOLE HUNDRED OR A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY. MIL SQUARE
FEET MUSEUM WE GOT FORTY THREE
ACRES HER FIFTEEN TO A CONVICTED
ONE ACRES WHATEVER THE AMOUNT IS
IS THE OTHER HUNDRED MILLION TO
BE PART OF THAT EITHER.
.
CURTILAGE SHIVER ARTWORK WAIVERS
WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT
ACTUALLY SO THAT THE TOTAL
PROJECT COST IS TWO HUNDRED
MILLION.
THIS THE STATE'S FUNDING IS
GOING TO FIND ALL THE DESIGN.
A OF THE OF THE FACILITY AND
PLUS A PORTION OF CONSTRUCTION
UP TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
THE AMOUNT THAT THE DONATIONS
ARE GOING TO DO SOME WORK
CONSTRUCTION AS OF THE
ADDITIONAL HUNDRED HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS WOULD.
FILLED THE.
OR FINALLY STEVE CONSTRUCTION
BUDGET.
OR.
CENTER STERN DID YOU HAVE A.
.
ART RELATED QUESTION HOW HEY.
MUSEUM RELATED QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
.
I DON'T THINK WE DO A GOOD
ENOUGH JOB IN THE STATE OF
TELLING THE STORY OF OUR TRUE
HERITAGE SO.
NOW I'M DRAWN TO THIS CONCEPT OF
TRYING TO REVITALIZE SOME KIND
OF CULTURAL HERITAGE CENTER
THAT.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY BRING SOME
DYNAMISM TO THIS LOSS CULTURE I.
I DO ONE AND TRAIL DOWN A
LITTL MORE ON ON THE PLAN AND
SORT OF VISION YOU ALL HAVE FOR
THIS SO.
TWEAKS TO THAT TWO THOUSAND
EIGHT VISION.
THAT YOU'RE ANTICIPATING I MEAN
WHEN I THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF
THE AMERICAN INDIAN FOR INSTANCE
SORT OF. TO ME GOLD STANDARD
FOR.
WHAT PROGRAMMING IS NATIONWIDE A
REALLY VIABLE REVENUE MODEL TO I
MEAN I THINK THERE YOU KNOW THEY
DO A REALLY GOOD JOB ON THEIR
CONCESSION SIDE? JUST.
IN TERMS OF YOUR FINANCIAL PLAN
FOR THIS AND HOW YOU ACTUALLY
WANT TO MAKE IT VIBRANT BECAUSE
THE OEM PART IS ALWAYS THE KEY
TO. AN ATROPHIED.
BIT BUDGET CAPITAL
INFRASTRUCTURE VERSUS SOMETHING
VIBRANT AND USEFUL IN THAT'S
GOING BEYOND JUST THE WALLS OF
THE MUSEUM EVEN SO.
WHAT DO YOU?
VISION WISE WHAT DO YOU WHAT DO
YOU THINKING HERE I MEAN IS THIS
IS THIS IS ABOUT THE SITE OR IS
IT IS IT MORE THAN THIS SITE.
AND IN TERMS OF THE PROGRAM AND.
IN THEM BUDGET YOU'RE THINKING
ABOUT IN FUTURE YEARS HOW BIG DO
YOU.
DO YOU ENVISION THAT TO BE IN
WHAT'S YOUR PLAN TO MEET THAT
WITH NON GENERAL FUND REVENUE.
I THINK A COUPLE OF THINGS I
WOULD SHARE IT WASN'T. WE DON'T
ONLY LOOK AT THE SMITHSONIAN.
TO NATIVE AMERICAN MUSEUM THAT
MUSEUM IS ACTUALLY ABOUT FIFTEEN
YEARS OLD BOMB.
SINCE THAT TIME THE SMITHSONIAN
THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM HAS
SYNCED OPENED WHICH.
I BELIEVE IT WAS AND WITHIN THE
LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. IF YOU GO
TO BOTH OF THOSE.
THOSE MUSEUMS THEY'RE BOTH
EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE BUT THEIR
RANGE VERY DIFFERENTLY WHEN YOU
GO TO THE NATIVE AMERICAN
MUSEUM.
IT'S IT'S.
KIND OF.
.
THEIR VARIOUS STATIC DISPLAYS
THEY ALSO USE.
TECHNOLOGY BUT SOMETHING THAT
WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT AND MARK
AND INNOVATE.
ERICA MUSEUM IS THAT IT'S
ORGANIZED THEMATICALLY AND ITS
DONE IN A WAY THAT SOME KIND OF
KEEPING KIND OF THE CONTEMPORARY
A DIALOGUE. IN IN MIND SO THOSE
ARE THE TYPES OF CONVERSATIONS
THAT WE'RE HAVING WE DON'T HAVE
YOU KNOW THIS IS WHERE THIS
DISPLAY WILL BE THIS IS YOU KNOW
WE DON'T HAVE ALL OF THAT.
THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS AND
FRANKLY SINCE WE STARTED THE
CONVERSATIONS ON BACK AND WHEN
THE TASK FORCE WAS ORIGINALLY.
YOU KNOW SYMBOL BACK IN TWO
THOUSAND TWO WE'VE LEARNED A LOT
MORE RIGHT ON IN TERMS OF HOW
WE'RE GOING TO OPERATE AND
YOU'RE AWARE THAT WE HAVE DONE
AND TOP DOWN REVIEW OF OUR
ENTIRE ORGANIZATION. AND WE'RE
LEANING AND HEAVILY INTO
PARTNERSHIPS
WE ARE DOING MORE INNOVATIVE
PARTNERSHIPS TODAY THAN WE EVER
HOUSE AND PARTNERSHIP IS GOING
TO BE A VERY IMPORTANT COMPONENT
OF THIS. AND YOU TRULY ARE
CATCHING US ON THE VERY FRONT
AND WE HAVE YOU KNOW A COUPLE OF
YEARS NOW TO SIT DOWN AND TALK
WITH EVERYONE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
DOES THAT LOOK LIKE. ON WE
ACTUALLY INCLUDED I THINK SOME
OPERATIONAL DETAIL ON COSTS IN
OUR ACTUAL BUDGET ON PROPOSAL
THAT.
WAS PROVIDED TO YOUR STAFF AND
I DON'T REMEMBER IT OFF THE TOP
OF YOUR HEAD OF OUR HANDS BOMB
BUT THAT'S TYPICALLY A TOTAL
NUMBER. AND THAT WILL BE OUR
TARGET AND AS WE'RE TALKING TO
FOLKS ABOUT HOW DO WE ACTUALLY
PROVIDE THAT LEVEL OF SERVICE WE
WILL BE WORKING TO FIND OTHER
OTHER FUNDING SOURCES FOR THESE
THINGS.
TO AND ALSO YOU KNOW WE ARE
PREDOMINATELY OUR OPERATIONS ARE
PREDOMINATELY FUNDED THROUGH THE
STATE PARKS AND RECREATION FUND
A SPECIAL FUND RATHER THAN THE
GENERAL FUND.
SURE BUT I MEAN IN OUR EARLIER
CONVERSATION THERE WAS A THERE
WAS A CONVERSATION THAT.
YOU MAY BE COMING BACK TO
LEGISLATURE TO SUPPLEMENT IF YOU
IF YOU DON'T HAVE SUFFICIENT NO
AND I'M I'M JUST. TRYING TO GET
A SCOPE OF WHAT THE ON GOING
SPENCE WOULD BE AND AND SORT OF
A MULTI.
JUST THAT IT ON A PHASED
APPROACH JUST. INDULGE ME WITH A
LITTLE HELP GRANULARITY YEAR SO
WITHOUT KNOWING YOU KNOW THE
PROGRAM ACTUALLY OUT EXACTLY HOW
MANY STORIES AND I'M TO BE
WITHOUT GOODNESS YEAH WE'D.
WE ESTIMATED THAT OUR ANNUAL
OPERATING COSTS WOULD BE IN THE
RANGE OF A THREE MILLION DOLLAR
SAID BE.
EQUIPMENTS I UTILITIES AND.
PERMANENT STAFF.
AND HOW DOES THAT SAY COMPARED
TO THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM
IN.
IN WASHINGTON I MEAN DO WE HAVE
A SENSE ME WE'RE GONNA BE THAT
KIND OF HIGH VOLUME OF THE.
OPERATIONS THAT THE GOAL. I I
DON'T KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW OKAY.
AND FINAL QUESTION IS.
.
I KNOW THERE'S BEEN AN ONGOING
ISSUE AROUND.
SOME SACRED OBJECTS THAT THE
YOU SEE.
CURRENTLY HAS IN SOME OF THEIR
MUSEUMS IT'S BEEN A SENSITIVE
ISSUE FOR A LOT OF TRIBES TO. AS
YOU I THINK CORRECTLY POINTED
OUT WHEN YOU ARE HOUSING SOME OF
THESE ITEMS YOUR STEWARDING THEM
BUT YOU'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT.
OWNED BY THE STATE THERE
ACTUALLY. THEIR PROPERTY OF OF
THE TRIBES SO. IS THIS WHO IS IN
TOUCH WITH THIS MUSEUM TO BE THE
NEW HOUSE FOR THOSE KINDS OF
OBJECTS CURRENTLY MAYBE THE
TRIBAL ADVISORS HAVE.
I INPUT. SHOWCASE OBJECTS THAT
COULDN'T OTHERWISE BE
REPATRIATED THROUGH THE CAL NOT
PRO OR NOT FOR PROCESS. BUT I
THINK THE ULTIMATE GOAL AT LEAST
OF THIS ADMINISTRATION IS TO
MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO REPATRIATE
THOSE ITEMS.
GOT IT SO THIS WON'T BE.
SUMS SUPPLANTING THAT
REPATRIATION PUSH IT'LL BE WHAT
WHAT YOU CAN'T DO THROUGH THAT
PROCESS. AND ALSO GETTING.
COLLECTIONS ON LOAN FROM TRIBES
SO THAT THEY CAN SHOWCASE THEIR
COLLECTIONS ON THEIR OWN TERMS.
VERY GOOD.
OKAY THANK YOU WILL IT CERTAINLY
ISN'T. A SPECIAL DAY HERE
BECAUSE WHO WOULD OF THOUGHT
WHEN SENATOR CRUELTY HAD HIS
LANGUAGE TO CREATE TO STUDY THE
STUDY GETS COMPLETED. IT SITS ON
THAT SHELF FOR TEN YEARS AND BUT
FOR AN ACT OF GOD ON FRIDAY
WE'RE HERE HAVING A HEARING ON
IT.
WE DID A LOT OF WORK SINCE
FRIDAY.
PRESUMABLY THERE'S A LOT MORE
WORK TO BE DONE WHAT'S OPEN UP
THE PUBLIC HEARING THE MEMBERS
OF THE PUBLIC THAT HERE ON.
ISSUE NUMBER TWENTY ONE
THE CALIFORNIA INDIAN HERITAGE
CENTER.
THE TRAILER BILL AND THE BUDGET
REQUEST.
GOOD AFTERNOON NOW. MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS ORDINARY MYERS AND I'VE
MISSED IT ON THE SHELF ABOUT TEN
YEARS. I'VE BEEN A MEMBER OF THE
TASK FORCE I BEEN A MEMBER AND
I'M CURRENTLY MEMBER THE
FOUNDATION. AND HAVE WE WE'VE
YOU KNOW WE'VE HAD OUR HAVE OUR
BACK UP SO I GET SOME SLOWDOWNS
BUT IT HAS A BEEN A FAULT OF.
I THINK THE FOUNDATION OR THE
TASK FORCE HAS BEEN OTHER KINDS
OF THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN
INVOLVED IN THAT.
HOW AND WE HAVE WE HAVE DONE? A
TREMENDOUS CONSULTATION ALL THE
TRIBES UP AND DOWN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WE BROUGHT A MAN. AND
THESE ITEMS THAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT THE SACRED ITEMS AND STUFF
THOSE WOULD NOT BE DISPLAYED AT
THE TRIBES AND ONE DISPLAYED.
HERE IF THEY WANNA BACK THEN AND
IT APPLIES THEY WILL GIVE THEM
BACK. WE'RE GONNA WORK IN
CONSULTATION WITH THE TRIBES ARE
GOING WORK IN PARTNERSHIP TO THE
TRIBES AND WE'RE GOING TO BE
PARTNERS WITH A PARTNER PARKS
RECREATION AS WELL.
SO OUT OF WITH THAT YOU KNOW I I
DO WANT TO.
SUPPRESS MY SUPPORT BECAUSE I
THINK THIS IS GONNA BE SOMETHING
THAT IS GOING TO BE A TREMENDOUS
VALUE TO ALL OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA NIGHT JUST CALIFORNIA
INDIANS. BUT ALL THE CITIZENS OF
CALIFORNIA THERE ARE ITEMS AS
SIT IN MOSCOW DISSIDENTS IN
PETERSBURG HAD OF COME FROM THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THAT WE
HAVE NEVER SEEN HAS BEEN THAT IT
WOULD NEVER A LESSON GONE THERE
IT DOESN'T EXIST IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA ANYMORE. AND ONE OF
MY DREAMS IS THAT WILL BE ABLE
TO.
BRING THAT STUFF BACK OVER HERE
FOR AT LEAST BILL FIVE OR TEN
YEARS OF THAT. NOW WITH THAT THE
IN THE PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO
SEE IT AND THEY CITIZENS WILL BE
ABLE TO SEE SOME STUFF DOES
DEVELOP A LONG TIME AGO. THAT NO
LONGER IS EXISTS HAS BEEN MADE.
SELF WITHOUT I JUST WANT EXPRESS
MY SUPPORT THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MORNINGSTAR
GALLEY ARCH MY BAND OF THE RIVER
GOOD AFTERNOON MR
SENATOR MCGUIRE I WANT TO SAY
THAT SIZE A FORMER TRIBAL
HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICER
ABOUT ORK FOR MY TRIBE FOR FOUR
AND A HALF YEARS MANY OF THE
CONCERNS. THAT WERE RAISED TODAY
I'M OVER CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE
WITHIN OUR OWN TRIBE I WAS
EXTREMELY INVOLVED I'M AS PART
OF THAT ISSUE WITH IT DID. UC
BERKELEY COLLECTION IN THE UC
SYSTEM COLLECTION TEN YEARS AGO.
AND.
THE ISSUES I'M ON GOING TO WITH
THE STORAGE I'M AND WE VERY MUCH
FEEL THAT YOU KNOW THERE ARE
ITEMS THAT DO NEED TO BE
DISPLAYED CALIFORNIA'S KNOWN FOR
ITS BASKETRY. I'M THESE IN
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TRIBES ARE
NOT COMMON NAMES THAT ARE KNOWN
WITHIN THE GENERAL PUBLIC YET
THE NAMES OF CIDER AND SARAH AND
FREE MIND AND VALLEJO AND DOES
THAT ACTUALLY.
WERE YOU KNOW.
MURDERED AND ENSLAVED US AS
CALIFORNIA NATIVE PEOPLES DOES
ARE THE COMMONLY WELL KNOWN
NAMES AND SO TO HAVE A HERITAGE
CENTER THAT TELLS ARE TRUE
HISTORY. AND TELLS THE HISTORY
OF OF WHAT CALIFORNIA REALLY
YEARS IN THIS BEAUTIFUL.
COUNTRY VOWED THAT WE HAVE AND
PLANS THAT WE HAVE IT'S
IMPORTANT TO TO BE ABLE TO
HIGHLIGHT AND HOW FOR CHILDREN I
AM A MOTHER OF FOUR. SMALL
CHILDREN IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
SYSTEMS I'M CONSTANTLY
EDUCATING.
OUR SCHOOL BOARDS ARE YOU KNOW
SPEAKING IN CLASSROOMS AND YOU
KNOW THAT'S A LOT OF VOLUNTEER
TIME THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE TO
SPEND IF WE HAVE A CENTER LIKE
THIS THAT COULD ADDRESS THOSE
ISSUES THAT YOU. THINK YOU
MAX.
I.
MY NAME IS PAUL LET HIM KNOW I'M
SORRY REALLY NERVOUS AND THIS IS
VERY EMOTIONAL FOR ME.
I AM RETIRED MUSEUM CURATORS
THREE WHICH IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL
OF CURATIVE IN THE STATE PARK
SYSTEM ORDER FOR STATE PARKS FOR
EIGHTEEN YEARS.
I'VE BEEN A MUSEUM PROFESSION
FOR THIRTY YEARS.
AND I WORKED ON THIS PROJECT
STARTING FOR TWO THOUSAND AND
TWO UNTIL I RETIRED ESSENTIALLY.
IT WENT DEAD ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO
IT'S BEEN REALLY SAD TO SEE THAT
HAPPEN THERE'S AN ENORMOUS
AMOUNT OF CONSULTATION THAT WENT
ON. WITH PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER
THE STATE EVERY AGE GROUP
COULDN'T IMAGINE EVERY TOPIC.
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS WERE SPENT IN DOING
CONSULTATION.
AND I WOULD I WOULD SUGGEST THAT
THE CONSULTATION THAT WE DID IS
TIMELESS IN A WAY. IT'S NOT
SOMETHING IS GOING TO CHANGE
IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA.
YOU CAN TWEAK IT HERE AND THERE
BUT IT'S ESSENTIALLY THE BELIEF
SYSTEM IS INTACT. AND SOMEBODY
ONE OF YOU REFERRED TO THE LOST
CULTURE THAT THAT FORMER CULTURE
IT'S NOT A LOST CULTURE IT'S A
LIFE IT'S WELL. IT'S IT IT JUST
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT THAT
ITS PROBLEM. IN THIS HEAR IT
SOONER BENNETT STARTED MUSEUM I
BEG TO DIFFER I I WOULD LIKE TO
TALK WITH YOU ABOUT THAT BECAUSE
SO I WOULD LIKE TO.
TO.
HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE I'M
COMING FROM. BUT.
THIS IS THIS IS JUST SOMETHING
THAT HAVE TO HAPPEN.
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN
PROMISING THIS TO THE IMMUNE
COMMUNITY OF CALIFORNIA FOR
FORTY YEARS.
AND IT'S REALLY HARD BELIEVE ME
TO GO UP AND WITH A GOOD FACE
AND LOOK SOMEBODY IN THE EYE AND
SAY. WE'RE THERE WE'RE GOING TO
DO IT FOR YOU BUT WE HAVE
NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT TIME AND
TIME AGAIN.
THE INDIAN COMMUNITY ASSUME
PROMISED THAT WE HAVE NOT
DELIVERED.
IT'S REALLY REALLY EMBARRASSING.
AND IT'S EASY TO TALK ABOUT IT
BUT.
THERE'S SO MUCH THAT WE'VE
ALREADY DONE AND TO BUILD ON
THAT.
IS JUST IT JUST MAKES IT SORT OF
LIKE TO SEE JUST ONE MORE THING
ABOUT THE INTERPRETATION.
AT THE TIME THE NATIONAL MUSEUM
OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN WAS
GROUND BREAKING IN ITS METHOD OF
INTERPRETATION DO YOU KNOW WHY.
BECAUSE THE PAST INDIANS WHAT
THE INDIANS WANTED TO CITY.
WHAT WAS IMPORTANT TO HIM IT
WASN'T A CURATOR WHO IS THE
SUBJECT MATTER SPECIALISTS?
WHO FREQUENTLY AND IS NOT OF
THAT CULTURE NO? FIFTY WE HAVE
IN THIS IS A REALLY NEW THING AT
THE TIME NOW IT SEEMS REALLY
OBVIOUS BUT AT THE TIME. TO ASK
INDIAN PEOPLE WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO SEE WHAT DO YOU WANT TO
REPRESENT YOUR TRIBE IT WAS.
IT'S UNHEARD OF.
SO.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS FOR ME BUT THE IF YOU
SUPPORT THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL
IT SURE RIGHT. ABOUT THAT GOT
THAT THIRTY PERCENT OF.
A PRETTY QUICK UP HERE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR AND I THINK
THAT YOU ALL THAT I'M SURE STATE
PARKS WOULD BE GLAD TO
ACCOMMODATE AND BY TO ALL TO GO
SEE THE COLLECTIONS OUT OF THE
STATE MUSEUM COLLECTION CENTER
OUT OF MCCLELLAN. YOU'LL BE
BLOWN AWAY.
COMING UP THE DIRECTORS READY
FOR THE FOUR OF US TO SHOW ON
SITE. THAT'S HIS APPEAL RIGHT WE
WILL THANK YOU WE WILL CLOSE THE
PUBLIC HEARING THE.
WE COULD HOLD THIS MATTER OPEN
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME LET'S
DROP BACK TO ITEM NUMBER ISSUE
NUMBER SEVENTEEN AND CALL UP
THEIR RESOURCE AGENCY.
VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS
HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS.
THIS IS THE FOREST'S CARBON PLAN
IMPLEMENTATION.
YOU CAN SAY. OKAY START.
PLEASE PROCEED WITH YOUR.
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE THANK YOU FOR THIS
OPPORTUNITY HOW MYNAME IS CALEY
BRIGHT AND WITH THE NATURAL
RESOURCES AGENCY. AND.
NEXT TO ME I HAVE CHIEF PIMLOTT
AND WE'VE WORKED.
TERRACE ON THIS PROPOSAL SO I
WAS GOING TO. OPEN UP A LITTLE
BIT.
WE'RE GOING TO SUMMARIZE THE
INDIVIDUAL PIECES OF THIS BUT
JUST JUST SO YOU KNOW WE HAVE
REPRESENTATIVES OF ALL OF THE
DEPARTMENTS IN THE STAFF. THAT
WE HAVE FOR THE QUESTIONS WE
CAN.
BRING REPRESENTATIVES UP AND
ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.
LAST WEEK THAT SAID THAT THIS
PROPOSAL REPRESENTS THE
CULMINATION OF MANY WEEKS OF
WORK AND MANY YEARS OF STUDY AND
WE'VE SEEN. A MULTIPLE REPORTS
COME OUT FROM THE LITTLE HOOVER
COMMISSION.
PP I SEE THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE.
THE UC SYSTEM STANFORD WOODS
INSTITUTE I THINK ALMOST
EVERYONE AND AND WHAT WE'VE SEEN
AS THOSE REPORTS OF ROLLED OUT
OF HIS A REAL.
CONSISTENCY AND CONSENSUS AROUND
THE TYPES OF PROPOSALS THAT THE
TYPES OF ACTIONS THAT NEED TO
HAPPEN ON THE GROUND AND ARE
FORCED TO. TAKE A BILL THE
RESILIENCY IN AND AND AND
RESTORE HEALTH OF ARE FORCED TO
BE ECOSYSTEMS.
LAST WEEK
THE GOVERNOR RELEASED A PACKAGE
OF ACTIONS THAT THAT THAT BUILT
UPON THAT BODY OF WORK.
FORCE CARBON PLAN.
KIND IS AT THE CENTER FORCE
CARBON CLAN IS A IS A PRODUCT OF
MOLD ALMOST TWO AND A HALF YEARS
OF WORK AMONGST.
MANY DIFFERENT STATE AND FEDERAL
AND LOCAL.
AGENCIES AND IT REALLY IS AT
ITS CORE A THE.
.
YOU KNOW SCIENCE BASED DIAGNOSIS
OF THE PROBLEM A FORECAST OF
WHAT WE.
SHOULD EXPECTED OUR FORCED
ECOSYSTEMS WITH CLIMATE CHANGE
WITH CHANGING CONDITIONS ON THE
GROUND.
BUT THEN ALSO THE.
BLUEPRINT FOR THE TYPE OF
ACTIONS WE NEED TO TAKE.
THE.
PLAN FOCUSES
ENTIRELY AROUND BUILDING A THE.
FORCED BECAUSE SYSTEM THAT
PROVIDES MULTIPLE BENEFITS TO
ALL CALIFORNIANS IT IS IT IT
SEEKS TO BALANCE THE ECONOMIC
ECOSYSTEM.
CHO CARBON CLIMATE RESILIENCY
BENEFITS
SO THAT WE ARE WE'RE NOT.
YOU KNOW SCHEMING THESE
PROGRAMS TOWARD ANY ONE GOAL
WHILE MILES
SITTING OTHERS TO THE SIDE.
.
THE CURRENT FORCE CURRENT PLAN
WAS FELIZ FOLLOWED BY THE X. THE
GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE ORDER WHICH
CAPTURE THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF
THAT THE THE THE CURRENT PLAN
TO.
DOUBLE THE STATE'S CURRENT WORK
IN THE FORESTS
SO CURRENTLY WE ARE PROVIDING
WE'RE WE'RE. WE'RE CONDUCTING A
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND ACRES
OF TREATMENTS ANNUALLY IN OUR
STATES FORCE THIS.
EXECUTIVE ORDER BECAUSE FIRST
TO DOUBLE THAT TO.
UP TO FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
ACRES A YEAR WRAPPING UP OVER
HOPEFULLY A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS
TO GET THERE.
THE.
.
THAT THE EXECUTIVE ORDER ALSO
GOES THROUGH AND CALLS FOR.
.
INNOVATION OF HOW WE UTILIZE THE
MATERIALS THAT WE TAKE FROM THE
FOREST WHEN WE ENGAGE IN THESE
ACTIVITIES.
AND IT.
.
TRIES WE TRIED TO GO AS BROAD AS
WE COULD AND BRING AS MANY OF
THE CONTROL AGENCIES REGULATORY
AGENCIES EVERYONE INTO THIS SO
THAT WE CAN BRING THEM TOGETHER.
TO MAKE THESE PROJECTS HAPPENED
LAST THE THE THE EXECUTIVE
ORDER.
WAS PUTS PARTNER BY THE
ANNOUNCEMENT OF A FORCE
MANAGEMENT TASK FORCE AS YOU CAN
SEE FROM YOUR AGENDA THERE ARE
MANY MANY DIFFERENT PIECES AND
PROGRAMS THAT FIT TOGETHER TO
MAKE ALL OF THIS FUNCTION. THE
TASK FORCE IS MEANT TO BE THE
PLACE FOR THESE PROGRAMS COME
TOGETHER AND I'M REALLY ARE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE FOR DELIVERING ON
THE COMMITMENTS THAT THEY'RE
MAKING. IN FORUMS LIKE THIS.
I THINK WE'LL START WITH THE
LIKE THE CAO FIRE PROPOSAL
NIMBLE RAN TO THE REST BUT COULD
BEFORE WE GET TO. HOW ARE YOU
LINKING THEM HOW ARE YOU GETTING
FISH AND WILDLIFE AND CAL FIRE
AND CALTRANS AND? PULL ALL.
ALL OF THEM ALL THE AGENCIES
TOGETHER FOR THIS YOU KNOW WE
GOT HABITAT WE GOT. YOU KNOW HOW
DOES THAT HOW DOES THAT WORK I
MEAN. YOU KNOW YOU YOU HAVE HAD
SIX DAYS TO WORK ON THIS
EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT. BAD MUSEUM
HERE TO EAT CENTER HAS HAD FOUR
SO WE'VE HAD A LOT MORE TIME.
WE THINK. WORK UP THE I THINK
THE TREE MORTALITY TO TREAT MORE
TELLY TASK FORCE IS A GOOD
EXAMPLE MAYBE PATH TALK ABOUT
HOW YOU. TACKLE THOSE PROBLEMS
IN THAT FORM AND THEN WE CAN
LOOK AT THE OTHER SHEET BECAUSE
DIRECTOR PIN LIKE. THIS SAID
OVER HAVING ALL THE FIRST TASK
TOGETHER WE'VE TAKEN TWO YEARS
WE'VE GOTTEN. A MILLION TREES
OUT.
AND WE GOT A HUNDRED AND TWENTY
EIGHT MILLION LEFT OVER AND IF
YOUR CHEST DOUBLING YOU KNOW IF
IT'S ALL HANDS ON DECK IF YOU
JUST. DOUBLING THE AMOUNT IS
THAT MEAN IN ONE YEAR WE'RE
GOING TO GET ANOTHER MILLION
TREES OUT.
SO THEM WILL HAVE A HUNDRED
TWENTY YEARS WILL GET ALL THE
TREES OUT THAT DOESN'T THAT
THAT'S THE SCALE OF. THAT WERE.
OBVIOUSLY THE CHAIRS DELIGHTED
THAT WE HAVE A PLAN NOW TWENTY
GET INTO THE DETAILS OF THE PLAN
BECAUSE IF IT HAS THE SAME VIGOR
AND ENTHUSIASM THAT. THE
SITUATION WARRANTS.
AS I.
THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
CHAIR CAN TELL WHAT A DIRECTOR
CAL FIRE BUT THE.
pTHE NUMBER ONE POINT TWO
MILLION
TREES WAS VERY FOCUSED ON THOSE
HIGH VERY HIGH FIRE HAZARD VERY
HIGH HAZARD AREAS BUT WE CALLED
TIER ONE.
WITHIN.
TEN COUNTIES OF THE TREE
MORTALITY OR IT MAKES YOU THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN SIERRA AND
IT WAS JUST LIMITED TO.
INFRASTRUCTURE AREAS ROADS
POWERLINES SOME OF THE FOREST
ROADS OTHERS OPPOSITE MUCH
BROADER LANDSCAPE OUT THERE WHAT
THE GOVERNOR'S FORCED MANAGEMENT
TASK FORCE. WILL ENCOMPASS IT'S
REALLY TAKING THIS TO THE ENTIRE
STATE AND RECOGNIZING THAT
THERE'S A LOT MORE TO WORK ON
CHEN JUST THE AREAS IMPACTED BY.
THE EPIDEMIC TREE MORTALITY SO
THE TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND
ACRES ON AVERAGE ANNUALLY THAT
WE'RE TREATING NOW. IT'S
STATEWIDE AND IT'S ALL
ACTIVITIES IT'S NOT JUST THE
WORK THAT'S GOING ON TO REMOVE
TREES AND TREE MORTALITY AREA
IT'S ALL OF THE PRESCRIBED FIRE.
THAT COMMERCIAL FORESTRY OR
TIMBER HARVESTING THAT'S GOING
ON IT'S THE FUEL BREAKS.
IT'S A LOT OF THAT WORK IF THE
UTILITIES ARE DOING ALONG THE
RIGHT OF WAYS BECAUSE THEY DO
THAT UNDER EXEMPTIONS FROM THE
FORCE PRACTICE RULES TO ENSURE
THAT THEY GET THIS WORK DONE.
WHERE THE REQUIRED TO SO THIS IS
ALL TOTAL WRAPPING ALL THAT
INTO?
TO ONCE WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THE
FORCE MANAGEMENT TASK FORCE IS
GOING TO TAKE THE GOOD WORK.
THAT WAS REALLY PIONEERED BY THE
TREE MORTALITY TASK FORCE IN
PIVOT. THAT SAME GROUP OUGHT TO
A MUCH BROADER LOOK AT LOOKING
AT FORCED HEALTH ENFORCED
RESILIENCE STATEWIDE SO THAT WE
CAN COORDINATE AND IT'S HOW WE
WILL BRING AND CONTINUE TO
BRING.
CAL FIRE AND FISH AND WILDLIFE
AND THE ALL OF OUR PARTNERS
TOGETHER TO REALLY GET WORK DONE
ON THE GROUND IN A COORDINATED
APPROACH.
I MEAN ONE OF THE.
I THINK I. CALIFORNIA MASS
TIMBER BUILDING COMPETITION.
YOU GOT FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS FOR THE WHOLE STATE IS
THAT REALLY AREN'T ENOUGH TO.
GALVANIZE THIS AREA TO TO DO
THIS SORT OF YOU KNOW.
INNOVATIVE AND IT'S ENOUGH OF AN
INCENTIVE TO GET THIS
WE KNOW WHAT IS ACT COMPOSITE.
FOR TWO BY FOUR I KEEP HEARING
ABOUT THAT THEY'RE DOING IN
OREGON I MEAN WHAT DID ORGAN
SPEND TED BEEN IN AND IF THAT'S
THE CASE WOULDN'T YOU WANT. LIKE
FOR THESE AROUND THE STATE'S
ONE IN THE SECOND DISTRICT ONE
IN THE. THIRD DISTRICT OFF TO
INCLUDE SUPPORT WHERE ALL THESE
WELL THESE TREES ARE RAT I MEAN
IT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A.
IT'S HE BIT SEE IT'S IT IT'S
LIKE A HEADER WHEN I'M GOING
THROUGH READING BUT IS IT REALLY
GOING TO BE FOUND. FINANCING
THING BUT THE FILLED WITH
PRODUCTS INNOVATION THE SEVEN
HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND IS THAT
IS THAT A PLACE HOLDERS THAT
REALLY THAT'S ALL THAT NEEDS
AND.
IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE JUST
HAPPENED.
NO THOSE ARE THOSE ARE GOOD
QUESTIONS THE.
FOR THE FOR THE MASS TIMBER SO
I THINK AND SENATOR NIELSEN'S
DISTRICT ACTUALLY WE. WERE.
THE PLUMAS COURTHOUSE ANNEX IT
THINK IS THE BUILDING RECENTLY
COMPLETED DATE A MASS TIMBER
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND AND
GETTING THAT PROJECT THROUGH THE
LOCAL PLANNING IT WAS A IT WAS A
MIRACLE THAT THE LOCAL.
GOVERNMENT WAS WAS WILLING TO
TAKE A RISK ON TRYING TO MOVE
FOR THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY
HAVING GETTING THAT PROJECT
THROUGH THE PERMITTING AND
PLANNING AT THE LOCAL LEVEL IS
NOT. A SIMPLE FEET.
BUT YOU KNOW THAT NOW SERVES AS
ONE OF THEM THE MODELS OF HOW DO
YOU BUILD THESE THE SMALLER
BUILDINGS. THIS.
BUILDING COMPETITION IS REALLY
MEANT TO TO TO. SHOW IT'S NOT
IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE. ENTIRE
BUILDINGS FROM BEGINNING TO END
AT LOCAL LEVELS AND BE HOW WE
BUILD THESE ALL OVER THE STATE.
IT REALLY IS TO TO PROVIDE TWO
MODELS TWO BUILDINGS AS MODELS
FOR HOW TO GET THIS DONE AND GET
THOSE LOCAL PERMITTING
JURISDICTIONS IN A COMFORTABLE
PLACE. THEY ARE NOT THE O LOCAL
LOCAL PERMITTING JURISDICTIONS
ARE NOT ALWAYS COMFORTABLE WITH
NEW NEW WAYS OF DOING THINGS OF
THIS IS THIS IS INTENDED TO BE A
CAN OF A JOINT GRANT TO ALLOW
THE LOCALS AND THE DEVELOPER. TO
GET OVER THE BARRIERS TO
SHOWCASE OF THIS IS ACTUALLY
POSSIBLE WE HAVE A LOT OF
INTEREST IN PRIVATE CAPITAL. IN.
PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT IN THESE
TYPES OF MATERIALS BUT THEY
JUST.
IT'S NOT IT'S NOT.
AN EASY PATH FOR THEM RIGHT NOW
TO TRY TO SHOW HOW MY I GUESS
THE QUESTION IS IS THAT THE THE
INCENTIVE THAT YOU HAVE THE
WORST NOT THE WORST THING WE DO
BUT OF. COURSE.
ACTUALLY WE DON'T PUT ENOUGH
INCENTIVE THAT IT DOESN'T MAKE
MUCH. MAKES SENSE YOU KNOW WE DO
SOME GOOD THINGS I LOVE THAT
MATTRESS RECYCLING PROGRAM BOOK
THAT BOUNTY IS SO LOW THAT
NOBODY WANTS TO PICK UP THE
MATTRESSES SO WE LIT SOUNDED
GREAT AND WE'RE ALL. HAPPY HAPPY
BUT IT LETS YOU GET THE RIGHT
AMOUNT OF INCENTIVE TO GET TO
THAT TIPPING. AND IT SEEMS LIKE
THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS WERE
WERE WAY HE'D BEHIND THE EIGHT
BALL I'M WAY WAIT WAIT INCIDENTS
TAKE GALVANISED THESE FOLKS
BECAUSE OF A VARIETY OF LAWS
THAT WE HAD. HAVE HAD AND THAT
IS.
WHO LACK OF THAT WILL INERTIA
SO?
?
BELIAU YOU HAVE SOME IDEAS. ON
THIS INITIATIVE.
YEAH.
.
YEAH I I THINK WE YOU KNOW I
DON'T APPROVING MOST OF THE
PROPOSAL WE WE DO THINK THAT
THERE IS BROAD CONSENSUS THAT
EXIST ABOUT THE PROBLEM THE.
SIZE OF THE PROBLEM OF THE STATE
BECAUSE OF BEEN MOVING AT THE
PACE MAN AND SCALE IT'S BEEN
NECESSARY TO KIND OF KEEP UP
WITH THAT LITTLE AND GET ON THE
HEAD OF IT.
IT IS CONSISTENT WITH SEVERAL
OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WE
MADE IN OUR RECENT REPORT ON FOR
SURE IN. A WATERSHED MANAGEMENT
AND SO OBVIOUSLY.
WHICH OF THOSE ARE GOD IDEAS.
WE DID HAVE SOME OUTSTANDING
QUESTIONS ON SOME COMPONENTS.
PERSONALLY ONE OF THE
COMPONENTS FOR THE.
REGIONAL FOREST HEALTH PROJECTS
TWENTY MILLION.
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION FUND
MONIES TO GO TO AGENCY.
SPECIFICALLY JUST AS THE
ADMINISTRATION IT SEEMS LIKE
IT'S SOME KIND OF DEVELOPING HOW
THIS WOULD WORK.
AND SO YOU THE CONCEPT OF
ENCOURAGING MORE REGIONAL
PARTNERSHIPS MASLOW'S SENTENCE
CONSISTENT WITH WHAT WE HAD
SAID.
WE'VE HAD SOME ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW IT WOULD
WORK.
SUCH AS WHEN SHOULD WE EXPECT
GRANT FUNDING TO GO OUT WOULD
IT.
BE OUT OF THE GROUND YOU KNOW IT
WAS IN THE BUDGET YEAR.
WHAT STEPS ARE STILL NECESSARY
TO KIND OF FINALIZE WHAT THIS
WOULD LOOK LIKE HOW LONG WILL
THAT TAKE? AND HOW DO THEY PLAN
TO PRIORITIZE THE DIFFERENT
WATERSHEDS MY IN AREAS OF THE
STATE FOR SOME OF THIS MONEY.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I
RECENTLY AND WHERE IS THE WORST
WE CAN LOOK THOUSAND NORQUIST
HOUSE.
ON ANALYZING THAT AS WELL AND
WE'LL UPDATE YOU. ON WHAT WE
LEARN PUTTING.
FINANCE.
I WAS CRITICAL TODAY.
ALISON HEWITT DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE AND WE'RE SUPPORTIVE OF
THIS PROPOSAL INCLUDING THE
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION FUND
FOR BY THE NATURAL RESOURCES
AGENCY THE PACKAGE AS A WHOLE.
I'M WILL SUPPORT US IN ACHIEVING
OUR STATEWIDE GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS TARGETS I'M ARE
WORKING TOWARDS THOSE GOALS.
AND IMPROVE OUR OVERALL FORCE
HEALTH OUTCOMES ACROSS THE STATE
THINK THE LA DOES CONCERN IS HOW
MUCH OF THAT IS GOES INTO GRANT
SOME MEMBERS THE NUMBERS OUT
THERE. MAYBE IT'S GOOD MAYBE
IT'S BAD OKAY BUT HOW MUCH OF
THAT IS GOING TO BE.
OUTDOOR VERSES.
OVERHEAD.
I'LL GO AHEAD AND DEFERRED TO
THE NATURIST OR SAYS YOU THE
AMOUNT SO THE THAT WE ENVISION
THAT THAT PROGRAM WOULD BE
OPERATED MUCH LIKE OTHER GRANT
PROGRAMS WE HAVE BEEN UP TO FIVE
PERCENT. CAP ON ADMINISTRATIVE
COSTS.
BUT THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF IN
YOU KNOW EXPRESS NEED FROM LOCAL
I'M COLLABORATIVE'S AND AND ARE
MEAN OF NON PROFITS AND. OTHERS
THAT DO WORK IN THE FOREST WHERE
THEY THEY REALLY NEED SUPPORT IN
THE PLANNING AND BOMB AND AND
DEVELOPING THESE PROJECTS.
IT A COORDINATED WAY WITH THEIR
PARTNERS SO I ATE THERE THERE.
THE REST OF THE FUNDING WILL
THAT A PROJECTS BUT THERE MAY BE
SOME NEED TO BE SOME FUNDING
ALLOCATED TOWARDS THIS.
COLLABORATIVE PLANNING EFFORTS
AT THEM THESE ENTITIES CONDUCT
YOU YOU TALK ABOUT THE WATERSHED
IMPROVEMENT YOU SORT OF CALL
OUTSIDE SIERRA NEVADA. UP
WATERSHED IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
VERSUS THE OTHER. WATERSHEDS
THAT NEED IMPROVEMENT ARE THEY
NOT COMPETING FOR THESE GRANTS.
SO THE WITH THE WATERSHED ALL
THE MONEY GOING TO SIERRA
NEVADA.
AGAIN.
NOW THIS IS YOU KNOW. THE THE
WATERSHED IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WE
SEE AS A MODEL FOR HOW WE SHOULD
ORGANIZE THE OTHER WATERSHEDS OF
THE STATE. THEY ARE BLESSED WITH
HAVING A CONSERVANCY OVER THE
ENTIRE JURISDICTION NOT YOU KNOW
OVER THE SERIES THAT THEY CAN
WORK ON A BIG LAND AREA TO BRING
TOGETHER THE RIGHT GROUPS DO
THESE PROJECTS ON A. ON A LARGE
LAND SKILL BASIS WE HAVE THE
SAME.
GRASSROOTS EFFORTS GOING ON IN
THE NORTH COAST IN THE SOUTH
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN COASTAL
AREAS THAT WE REALLY NEED TO
GALVANIZE AND WHERE TO OR HOPING
THAT THIS FUNDING CONSERVE AS A
CATALYST TO GET THOSE GROUPS.
AND THEIR PLANS IN A PLACE
WHERE THEY CAN MAXIMIZE BOTH
PARTICIPATION BUT ALSO
PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER FUNDING
SOURCES.
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT TREES FIRST
SECOND AND THIRD THE VOLUME OF
TREES THE DENSITY OF TREES
DECISIVE TREES.
I'VE HAD A FAILED ATTEMPT TO
CHANGE TEMPER HARPER PLAN
HARVEST PLANS AND WE MEASURE NET
NOW FROM THE GROUND INSTEAD OF.
THE WASTE VERSUS LOOKING AT THE
CANOPY WHAT CAN WE EXPECT HERE
ON THE AND A.
THE THINNING. OF OUR TREES
WHAT'S WHAT'S ENVISIONED.
SO WHAT'S REALLY THE THE.
FORCE BEHIND THE FORCE CARBON
PLAN IN THE GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE
ORDERS TO BRING ALL THE TOOLS IN
THE TOOLBOX TO MAKE OUR FORESTS.
HEALTHY AND MORE RESILIENT TO
INSECT
A NEW EPIDEMIC INSECT OUTBREAK A
CATASTROPHIC FIRE. WELL AND TO
DO THAT WE USE A VARIETY OF
DIFFERENT TOOLS I'M OBVIOUSLY
PRESCRIBED FIRE IS A BIG PIECE
OF WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED.
AS PART OF.
THIS.
PROPOSAL. BUT IN MUCH OF OUR
FORESTED AREAS WE NEED TO DO
THINNING IN MECHANICAL WORK TO
REDUCE THE VOLUME OF MATERIAL OF
FUEL. THAT WE CAN BURN IT SAFELY
AND THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO BE
ABLE TO ALLOW US TO PUT FIRE IN
THESE FORESTS. IN A SAFE
PRESCRIBED WAY THAT ALLOWS A OF
THE CLEAN UNDERSTOREY BURNING.
THAT REDUCES FUEL LOADING AND
IS ECOLOGICALLY BENEFICIAL TO
THE FORCE ULTIMATELY EVERY WORK
TOWARD SEQUESTERING MORE CARBON
IN OUR FORCE WE WANT TO HAVE.
FEWER BUT LARGER TREES ACROSS
THE THE FORESTED LANDSCAPE AND
THAT'S THE ULTIMATE GOAL OVER
TIME IS TO BE OPEN HAVE THAT
CARBON STORED ON. LARGER BUT
FEWER TREES ALSO IT'S IT'S
REALLY THE CARRYING CAPACITY. OF
THE FOREST IN THE SOILS THAT CAN
ONLY SUPPORT SO MANY TREES WITH
THE NUTRIENTS AND WATER.
AVAILABLE AND SO THE IDEA IS TO
MAXIMIZE FIND THAT SWEET SPOT
FOR OUR FORESTS SO THAT THEIR
GROWING THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF
MATERIAL IN CARBON ABOUT THE
SAME TIME.
THEIR SEND AND THE AMOUNT OF
MEDINA A FEW OUT THERE IS REDUCE
THEY DO NOT GET DESTROYED IN THE
STAND REPLACING. YOUR TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN THOUSAND
ACRE FIRES LIKE THE RIM FIRE IN
TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN WELL THE
ONLY.
REPORT TALKED ABOUT THEN THE
IDENTIFIED THE INDUSTRIAL LANDS
IN THOSE OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
IN THE BUSINESS OF.
GROWING TREES HARVESTING TREES
SELLING US WOOD PRODUCTS AND IN
A GIGANTIC AMOUNT OF OF PRIVATE
OWNERS THAT ARE NOT STATE AREAS
NOT FEDERAL BUT A SIGNIFICANT
CHUNK OF LAND WE HAVE PEOPLE
HAVE FIFTY ACRES THREE ACRES.
TWO HUNDRED ACRES AND THEY DON'T
MANAGE THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING
THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT IN THE
THE.
CULTIVATION OR NOT CULTIVATION
THAT'S THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
CROP THE WITHOUT.
YEAH TIMBER TIMBER MANAGEMENT
AND IT IT SEEMED TO ME AS I WAS
READING THAT REPORT THAT HOW DO
WE GET. THOSE.
INCENTIVIZE THE COMMERCIAL AREA
IT IF IT'S IF THEY'VE GOT TO DO
IF YOU CAN IF THE ANSWER IS JUST
TO TIMBER HARVEST PLANTS OVER
THIS YOUR NEIGHBOR'S YARD THAT'S
THE LAW RIGHT NOW WHAT. HOW DO
WE GET THE? COMMERCIAL FOLKS TO
KNOCK ON THE DOOR OF ALL THESE
PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT IN THE
MIDDLE OF NOWHERE THAT HAVE
THESE.
FOREST'S THAT THEY CAN EXTRACT
SOME.
VALUABLE WOOD PRODUCTS THAT THEY
MAKE THAT MAKE A LIVING I'M NOT
AGAINST ANYBODY MAKE ELEVEN AND
AND WE HAVE THAT COMBINATION OF
OF EITHER THE FORRESTERS OR
THESE FOLKS THE BIOMASS PEOPLE
OR THIS. SENT TO THE CITY OF NEW
WOOD PRODUCTS PEOPLE COME IN SO
THAT IT IT MAKES SENSE AND I
NEED TO HAVE THAT FIGURE OUT THE
PICTURE BECAUSE ONE OF THE
THINGS WAS IS RIGHT NOW. WE
DON'T INCENTIVIZE SAT THINKS MAX
NAKED HAPPEN I MEAN I KNOW OF.
YOU'RE YOU'RE ACTUALLY RIGHT
SENATOR ABOUT FIVE MILLION ACRES
OF THAT PRIVATE FORCED LANDING
IN CALIFORNIA IS OWNED BY LARGE
COMMERCIAL FORCE LANDOWNERS YOUR
BEAUTY BURKE COMPANIES ETCETERA.
THEY HAVE THE CAPACITY BUT TO
ENGAGE IN ACTIVE FORCE
MANAGEMENT AND THEY DO SO
READILY WHERE WE'RE REALLY
FOCUSING THE EFFORT WERE
SUPPORTING THEM CERTAINLY BUT
WE'RE REALLY FOCUSING OUR
EFFORTS ON THE NINE MILLION
ACRES.
OF THESE NON INDUSTRIAL FAMILY
FOREST LANDS THAT YOU THAT YOU
TO INDICATE THAT IS LITERALLY
THE US ARE LANDOWNERS ANYWHERE
FROM FIFTY TO A TWO HUNDRED OR
THREE HUNDRED ACRES. AND.
BUT TOGETHER THEY MAKE UP NINE
MILLION ACRES THAT'S ALMOST.
IT'S ABOUT A THIRD HAVE TO A
THIRD OF ALL THE FOREST LAND.
IN THE STATE ROUGHLY MADE IT A
LITTLE LESS SO AT THE END OF THE
DAY IT WE HAVE TO FIND A WAY. TO
BRING THESE FOLKS TOGETHER IS
NOT THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO A
MANY OF THEM DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY NEED TO DO AND SO THE IDEA
IS EDUCATION SO THAT WE CAN
BRING TO THEM. THE EXPERTISE TO
HELP THEM UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY
NEED TO DO TO MANAGE THEIR LAND
TO DO WE NEED TO HAVE SOME
ECONOMIES OF SCALE SO THAT WE
CAN. GET MULTIPLE LANDOWNERS
WORKING TOGETHER SO WE CAN HAVE
A TIMBER HARVEST PLAN.
THAT COVERS ALL OF THEIR LAND
AND THAT HAVE AN EFFICIENCY IN
NGUYEN HARVESTING FLICK GET SOME
RETURN AND REINVEST THAT. INTO
REFORESTATION BACON REINVESTED
INTO OTHER RESTORATION PROJECTS
AND YET THEY CANNOT PAY THE WAY.
THAT FUNDS THAT WERE TALKING
BOTH HERE IN THIS PROPOSAL AND
AND CAL FIRES TWO HUNDRED
MILLION THAT ITS ADMINISTERING.
THIS YEAR IN A GREENHOUSE GAS
FUNDS IS ALL ABOUT SORT OF
PRIMING THE PUMP IF YOU WILL
IT'S PROVIDING THE INCENTIVES
FOR.
FOLKS TO INVEST IS LEVERAGING
OTHER FUNDING SOURCES BRINGING
IN OTHER ARAB PARTNERS SO THAT
WE CAN HELP. GET MORE WORK DONE
ON THE LANDSCAPE AND SO THE
WHOLE IDEA IS WE'VE GOT TO BRING
THE SMALL LANDOWNERS TOGETHER
AND HELP. WITH THESE INCENTIVES
SO THEY CAN HAVE SOME ABILITY
OUGHT TO INVEST IN ENGAGING IN
MANAGING THEIR OWN LANDS.
LET'S OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING
AND SEE IF WE HEAR FROM SOME OF
THOSE.
NOT SMALL LANDOWNERS WHO INTO IT
BUT WHATEVER YOUR DOUBT LET'S
HAVE THIS AT THE PUBLIC HEARING
BECAUSE I GOT. I KNOW SOME
PEOPLE ARE EAGER TO SPEAK TO US.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN LIKE US
GET MEMBERS PAUL MASON WITH
PACIFIC FOREST'S TRUST.
WHICH STRONG SUPPORT FOR THE
PROPOSAL WE REALLY APPRECIATE
THE ADMINISTRATION'S COMMITMENT
TO FOREST RESTORATION AND
MANAGEMENT.
AND I THINK THE AUGMENTATION IN
THE MAY REVISE IS A NICE SWEET
OF ACTIVITIES HELPS GET US
THERE.
I DO WANT TO SPEAK BRIEFLY TO
THE TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS A
RESOURCES THAT WAS DISCUSSED A
LITTLE BIT. AND THAT'S ACTUALLY
A CRITICAL PART OF THIS TO BE
ABLE TO. CATALYZE SOME OF THE
SORT OF EXISTING PLANS THAT
EXIST IN SOME OF THE AREAS THAT
ARE OUTSIDE OF THE SIERRA NEVADA
CONSERVANCY. AND INCLUDES AREAS
THAT ARE ABSOLUTE CRITICAL TO
CALIFORNIA'S OVERALL WELL BEING
LIKE THAT UPPER SACRAMENTO AND
MACLEOD AND PAY WHERE SO MUCH OF
OUR WATER COMES FROM.
AND THERE'S SOME EXISTING
PLANNING GOING ON THERE BUT
BEING ABLE TO BRING THAT TO THE
NEXT LEVEL START DOING
IMPLEMENTATIONS GONNA REQUIRE
SOME STATE RESOURCES TO CATALYZE
THAT'S SO. VERY SUPPORTIVE OF
THAT. THE THING I WANTED TO
SPEAK TO BRIEFLY IS WHAT YOU
RAISED EARLIER AROUND MAKING
SURE THAT HAS WERE MAKING THESE
INVESTMENTS NEVER WAS LOOKING
RIGHT NOW TO. FOREST HEALTH AND
FIRE BEHAVIOR THAT WE'RE REALLY
KEEPING IN MIND THAT WELL
PLANNED THESE ARE THE SAME SORTS
OF ACTIVITIES THAT ARE GOING TO
IMPROVE WATERSHED FUNCTION.
THEY'RE GOING TO GOOD FOR FISH
AND WILDLIFE HABITAT OVER TIME
AND MAKING SURE THAT WERE REALLY
TAKING ADVANTAGE.
SADDAM AND EXPERTISE TOGETHER
THEY HAVE SYNERGISTIC BENEFITS
IN THE REALLY IMPORTANT
OPPORTUNITY THERE TO MAKE SURE I
GET IT RIGHT.
WE TELL THOSE PRIVATE LANDOWNERS
WILL IMPROVE THE WATERSHED THE
TRAP WILL COME BACK DOUBLE THE.
DOUBLE THE RUN THE STRIKE THAT'S
WHAT WE NEED TO MOVE SOME OF
THESE TREES OUT MAKE FOR THEM A
SAFE HARBOR AGREEMENTS THEY
DON'T HAVE TO ASK IF THE TRIAL.
OUR NECKS.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN VERGE
JULIAN ALLEN ASKING BOND HAVE TO
CALIFORNIA BIOMASS ENERGY
ALLIANCE WANNA SUPPORT THIS
PROPOSAL ONE I THINK THE
GOVERNOR FOR HIS LEADERSHIP ON
THIS VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE. AND
POINT OUT WHICH I KIND OF NEED
TO THIS COMMITTEE HAS BEEN
ALLOTTED TIME TALKING ABOUT WILD
FIRE ISSUES.
THIS YEAR.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT PREPAREDNESS
AND PREVENTION AND THAT THIS IS
IN THE CENTRAL PIECE OF THAT
PUZZLE WERE HAPPY TO SEE IT AND
WE HOPE THAT THE COMMITTEE
APPROVES AT ITS INTEGRITY THANK
YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON ELEANOR TEAS ON
BEHALF OF THE NATURE CONSERVANCY
IN THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
RESOURCE CONSERVATION DISTRICTS
VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS ITEM.
AND IN PARTICULAR ON BEHALF OF
THE OUR CD'S WE WANTED TO VOICE
OUR SUPPORT FOR THE WATERSHED
COORDINATOR GRANTS.
WERE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THESE
GRANTS BUT TO BE TRULY EFFECTIVE
WE BELIEVE THAT THEY NEED TO
HAVE RECEIVED CONTINUOUS FUNDING
AND NOT JUST A ONETIME
APPROPRIATION THINKING.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
BURRS MARK SMITH ON BEHALF OF
CALIFORNIA TROUT I NEED TO STOP
GIVING MY TALKING POINTS TO PAUL
MASON AHEAD OF TIME.
APPRECIATE ALL THE COMMENTS
ABOUT IN THE CLOUD THE PIT THE
TROUT. WE SUPPORT.
THIS INVESTMENT AS WELL WHEN I
REMIND FOLKS AT ITS
ABOUT FOREST'S IT'S ABOUT.
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT IT'S
ABOUT THINGS LIKE MOUNTAIN
MEADOWS AND PROTECTING OUR
SOURCE WATERS WHICH PROVIDE
NEARLY SIXTY PERCENT OF USABLE
WATER IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
THANK YOU.
WHEN WILL CLOSE PUBLIC HEARINGS
AND REQUIRE HAVE QUESTIONS.
IGN. FOR THAT.
FRED DOT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AS YOU CHAIR
IN FOR THE ROBUST DISCUSSION AT
CHIEF JUST WANNA GO THROUGH A
COUPLE ITEMS. AND YOU KNOW I
KNOW YOU KNOW THE STATISTIC THAT
YOU TWO MILLION CALIFORNIA
HOUSEHOLDS FIFTEEN PERCENT OF
ALL HOUSEHOLDS. ARE HERE IN THE
GOLDEN STATE ON ARE. IN THE ZONE
OF HIGH OR EXTREMELY HIGH FIRE
DANGER.
IN WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO ADVANCE
ON ISSUES A PRESCRIBED BURNS
UNDER PERSON CREE. BY THINK THE
OTHER PIECES IS THAT ARE.
FOCUSING ON THOSE COMMUNITIES
THAT ARE.
NEAR OAK WOODLANDS OR WHY
HAVEN'T WILD AND INTERFACE.
AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT
APPROACH SO TAKING A LOOK AT THE
TWENTY SIX POINT EIGHT MILLION
THIS COMING FROM GT R. F.
WITHIN.
FOR PRESCRIBE FUEL AND FUELS
REDUCTION.
TALK ABOUT THAT A BIT BECAUSE
THIS ONE SIZE FITS ALL APPROACH
DOESN'T WORK PROJECT SO CAN YOU
CAN DO A DEEPER DIVE THAT
ABSOLUTELY IN VERY GOOD
QUESTIONS WE HAVE THIS IS A VERY
SPECIFIC DISCUSSION. BECAUSE WE
CERTAINLY HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR.
FROM ALL OF OUR STAKEHOLDERS
AND AND.
REALLY.
DRIVEN HOME BY THE LITTLE
HOOVER COMMISSION'S REPORT THAT.
THERE WAS A NEED FOR DEDICATED.
FUELS TREATMENT CREWS THAT COULD
BE DEDICATED TO BEGIN AND CAN
PUT INTO PRECISE AREAS TO GET
REAL WORK DONE THAT WE'RE ALWAYS
BEING SIPHONED OFF FOR OTHER
FIRE PROTECTION. RATHER
EMERGENCY NEEDS AND SO WITH THE
PROPOSAL FOR THE TWENTY SIX
MILLION IN THE SEVENTY NINE.
POSITIONS ACTUAL FUND.
SIX
DEDICATED. TEN PERSON FUELS
CREWS IT WILL INCLUDE.
AN INDIVIDUAL ON TOP OF THAT
FORESTRY ASSISTANT THAT'S
SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON GETTING
THROUGH THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
INSURING THAT THE SEQUEL.
PROCESS IS COMPLETED SO THAT WE
GET AHEAD OF PROJECTS AND GET
SOME SHELF READY WORK DONE AND
IT WILL BE PRIORITIZING. AROUND
THE STATE THE IDEAS WERE GONNA
PICK. THOSE AREAS THAT CAN WE
CAN NOT GOING TIE IN WITH LARGE
LANDSCAPE LEVEL PROJECTS BUT
ALSO WERE THESE AREAS INTERFACE
WITH THE WILDLAND URBAN
INTERFACE OF THAT WEEK THAT IS
THESE BURNS WILL BE VERY.
BENEFICIAL TO ACHIEVING THE
BIGGEST BANG FOR THE BUCK
REDUCING FUEL LOADING AROUND
COMMUNITIES BUT ALSO ENGAGING
OUT AWAY FROM COMMUNITIES SO
THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY GET AGAIN
SOME FORCED RESILIENCE THROUGH
REDUCE FUEL LOADING AND SO WE
WILL BE WORKING. ON HOW TO
DEPLOY THESE CREWS WHERE WE CAN
I MOST EFFECTIVELY USE THEM.
DIRECTLY UNDER THE.
YOU KNOW THE DIRECTION OF THE
STATE'S STRATEGIC FIRE PLAN
ABOUT THE FORCE CARBON PLAN AND
THE OTHER DOCUMENTS THAT FORCED
ASSESSMENT. THAT HELP US
PRIORITIZE WE KNOW WHERE OUR
GREATEST RISKS ARE AROUND THE
STATE. SO THAT YOU KNOW I I
THINK IN THE CHAIRS TALKED A LOT
OF IT ABOUT PREVENTION AND IF
IT'S IN QUICK IF I'M WRONG CHAIR
BUT YOUKNOW. THERE'S BEEN A
FOCUS THIS YEAR OBVIOUSLY
RIGHTFULLY SO ON BEING ABLE TO
HAVE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ON THE
GROUND.
SO WHEN WE HAD THESE
CATASTROPHIC FIRE BEEN CYCLISTS
ON THE NORTH PAYING DOWN IN.
SANTA BARBARA.
I'M A AND WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON
PREVENTION IS THE CHAIR IS
INSANE IN THE ONES THAT SO. IN.
GRATEFUL BY THE WAY RIGHT I
DON'T WANT TO SOUND UNGRATEFUL
IN REGARDS TO BOND ADVANCING ON
DIABETES SHOW I'M.
BOOTS ON THE GROUND. AND
PREVENTION MEANS A LOT OF THINGS
IN PARTICULAR WHEN IT COMES OF%
VEGETATION THINNING WHEN YOU'RE
NEAR STRUCTURES EXCEPT DRY IN
PRESCRIBED BURNS OUT WORK.
NECESSARILY.
SO TALK ABOUT WHERE YOU SEE THAT
WE INDEED. PACKAGE THAT IS JUST
AS IMPORTANT.
ABSOLUTELY IT IS IT'S A
COMBINATION OF BOTH AND SO
REMEMBER INSTANT WE'VE GOT YOU
KNOW. WE ARE EXTREMELY GRATEFUL
FOR THIS PROPOSAL BECAUSE IT'S
GOING TO GIVE US.
BUT ADDITIONAL TOOL THAT WILL BE
CAN DEDICATE SPECIFICALLY TO
GETTING THESE PROJECTS DONE YEAR
ROUND RIGHT.
BUT THIS IS ON TOP OF YOU
CURRENTLY TWO HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS.
THAT CALIFORNIA IS IMPLEMENTING
UNDER A. CAP AND TRADE FUNDING
FOR THIS YEAR CURRENTLY FUNDED
TO DO FORCED HEALTH PROJECTS AND
FIRE PREVENTION WILDLAND URBAN
INTERFACE.
DUFF FIRE PREVENTION PROJECTS
LITERALLY THE GRANT REQUESTS
WENT OUT JUST WITHIN THE LAST
WEEK OR SO SOLICITING PROJECTS
FROM FIRE SAFE COUNCILS FIRE
DISTRICTS.
RESOURCE CONSERVATION DISTRICTS
ANYONE WHO'S PUTTING PROJECTS ON
THE GROUND DESIGNED TO WORK IN
THESE WOULD WE AREAS AND SO IT'S
WERE REALLY RUNNING HAND IN HAND
WE'VE GOT. THE WILDLAND URBAN
HER FACE WHICH IS A VERY FOCUS
OFTENTIMES HAND IF YOU KNOW
LABOR INTENSIVE WORK TO HELP
PROTECT COMMUNITIES. RUNNING
HAND IN HAND WITH THESE LARGER
LANDSCAPE FOREST HEALTH PROJECTS
THAT ARE REALLY ABOUT.
REDUCING THE IMPACTS
IN OUR FORESTS FROM AGAIN BUT
DEVASTATING WILDFIRE.
INSECT AND DISEASE EPIDEMIC ARE
AND WHAT OUR OF FOLKS THAT
TESTIFIED TALKED ABOUT BE AT
RESTORING MOUNTAIN MEADOWS ALL
THESE THINGS. THAT ENHANCE WATER
BECAUSE OF THESE TWO WHILE THEY
SEEM SEPARATE RUN HAND IN HAND
BECAUSE OVERALL ARE URBAN
INTERFACE AREAS ARE VERY
CONNECTED TO ARE FORCED AND
LANDSCAPES. YOU ACTUALLY WRITE
IN THE KEY TO THE SAME THING.
CHIEF ON THE ISSUES IN REGARDS
TO THE TWENTY MILLION JUST
LITTLE BIT OF A DEEPER DIVE.
BOMBED ON THE BLOCK GRANTS DAD
TO PROMOTE. A AND EXPAND
REGIONAL FOR STREET FIBRATIONS
JUST. WALK US THROUGH LITTLE
FURTHER ON THAT IF YOU DON'T
MIND. SO APES LIKE AND WANT TO
THAT SENATOR THE.
.
SO WE INVASION THE.
.
TO THAT AS I SAID BEFORE THE
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS IS REALLY
MEANT TO TO TO BUILD THAT
CAPACITY AT A REASONABLE AROUND
FIRE PLANNING FIRE FUELS
REDUCTION FORCE HEALTH PLANNING.
IN ITS POSTED IT IN ITS
ATTENDED TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MUCH
OF THE WORK THAT'S GOING ON
RIGHT NOW AND IN THE DIFFERENT
REGIONS OF
STATE.
THE.
.
YOU KNOW ARE WE ENVISION THAT
THAT THAT THAT FUNDING WILL. BE.
REALLY IMPORTANT TO IMPLEMENT
THE OPPORTUNITIES TO COME OUT OF
THE FOR THE THE FOREST
MANAGEMENT TASK FORCE AS WE
BRING ALL OF THESE ACTORS
TOGETHER. THESE OPPORTUNITIES
WILL WILL SHOW THEMSELVES AND
THEN WE SEE OURSELVES ROLLING
FUNDING OUT FOR BOTH PROJECTS
BUT NOT YOU KNOW THIS IS NO
INTENDED TO BE. A A BUNCH OF
DIFFERENT SMALL PROJECTS ACROSS
THE STATE REALLY WHERE YOU SEE
CLUSTERING THE PROJECTS BY
COORDINATED ENTITIES BUT ALSO.
BLOCK GRANTS TO SOME MAYBE TO
SOME OF THESE LARGER ENTITIES
WHEN JASON IN OR NOT ATTORNEY
DIFFICULT JUST SO I GET OUT.
LIKABLE EXAMPLE WHAT YOU WOULD
YOU WOULD ENVISION WHAT SUCCESS
WOULD LOOK LIKE THROUGH THIS
TWENTY MILLION SO THAT THE. THE
NORTH COAST.
IN YOUR DISTRICT THE NORTH
COAST TIME.
WATER UNTIL NOVEMBER WHEN. THEY.
RESOURCE PARTNERSHIP. THEY ARE
COORDINATING MANY.
DIFFERENT PROJECTS IN THE
REGION.
WE WOULD USE THIS FUNNY AND
FUNDING TO TRY TO IMPLEMENT MANY
OF THEIR PROJECTS BUT ALSO.
EXPAND THEIR PARTNER BASED
BECAUSE IN OUR OWN CONVERSATIONS
THEY HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING WITH
SOME OF THE TIMBER INDUSTRIES
AROUND THEM AND SOME OF THE
OTHER STAKEHOLDERS THAT WE.
DEPEND ON TO GET THIS WORK DONE
SO WE COULD USE THIS FUNDING
FROM THE STATE TO LEVERAGE THAT
ADDITIONAL PARTNERSHIP BUT THEY
ARE REALLY STRONG AND LEVERAGING
PARTNERSHIPS IN THE WATER AGENCY
WORLD SO.
BEING THAT CATALYST TO MAKE
THEIR THEIR EFFORTS EVEN YOU
KNOW MULTI. MULTIPLIED BIGGER NO
THAT'S GREAT THANK YOU SO MUCH.
VERY HELPFUL JUST APPRECIATE YOU
ALL OF THE FROM THAT.
SENATOR.
NIELSEN.
THAT'S FOREST'S IS SO THE
OVERALL PICTURE WE DIDN'T.
TALK MUCH YET ABOUT.
EROSION NOW THAT'S ALSO A PART
OF YOUR CONCERN IS IT NOT AND
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT AS FAR AS
OUR FISH.
AND COMING DOWN INTO THOSE
STREAMS AND RIVERS WE GET
EROSION AND WE HAVE SOME REAL
PROBLEMS SO YOU YOU'RE CONCERNED
WITH THAT TOO IS THAT CORRECT.
THAT AND NOW ESPARZA
REGENERATION.
ARE THERE SOME AREAS THAT WILL
REQUIRE SOME PLANTING.
NO ACTUAL PLANNING.
REFORESTATION.
IT'S ABSOLUTELY WE'VE GOT
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ACRES
ACROSS THE THE STATE BOTH.
PRIVATE LANDS AND FEDERAL LANDS
THAT ARE IN NEED OF
REFORESTATION AND AGAIN THESE
FIVE MILLION ACRES OF.
COMMERCIAL OF FOREST LANDS THAT
THAT THOSE.
LANDOWNERS HAVE THE CAPACITY TO
ENGAGE IN VERY AGGRESSIVE
REFORESTATION.
ACTIVITIES.
THE SMALLER LANDOWNERS WHO ARE
IMPACTED BY INSECT DISEASE IN
THESE CATASTROPHIC FIRES DON'T
HAVE THAT CAPACITY SO THIS
BRINGS FORWARD THE TOOLS. AND
AND REALLY ADDS TO WHAT WE'VE
ALREADY HAD IN PLACE THROUGH OUR
CALIFORNIA FORCED IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM.
AND OTHERS TO REALLY INCREASE
THE PACE AND SCALE OF OUR
ABILITY TO. TO A BOMB REPLANT
AND REFOREST BEHIND.
THESE EVENTS NOW AS WE GO
FORWARD AND LOOK AT CLIMATE
CHANGE.
YOU KNOW IT.
WE ARE LOOKING AT LOOKING AHEAD
AT WHAT SPECIES WILL NOW GROW IN
PLACES WHERE IT WOULDN'T GROW
BEFORE THE LANDSCAPE IS
CHANGING.
SO WE DIFFERENT DIFFERENT
SPECIES DIFFERENT SEEDS WE ARE
COLLECTING SEEDS FROM DIFFERENT
PARTS OF THE STATE. AND DOING
ALL THAT ANALYSIS TO MAKE SURE
WE'RE PUTTING THE RIGHT TREES
THAT WILL SURVIVE IN THE RIGHT
PLACES ARE GOING FORWARD AND. TO
ME VERY IMPORTANT AS NOW WE RE
OPEN THE DAVIS NURSERY.
WILL BE GROWING SEEDLINGS FOR
THE SMALL LANDOWNERS TO PROVIDE
THEM SOME STOCK TO BE ABLE TO
GET THIS WORK DONE.
WELL THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO BE
REALLY IMPORTANT TOWARD THAT END
AS DIRECT HIM WHAT DO WE HAVE
THE NURSERY CAPACITY YOU
MENTIONED DAVIS BUT.
ARE WE WE'RE GONNA HAVE INERTIA
CAPACITY TO. PROVIDE.
STOCK.
WE ARE WILL BE CONTINUOUSLY AND
ALWAYS HAVE WORKED VERY CLOSELY.
WITH THE U. S. FOR SERVICE
NURSERY PROGRAM THEY'VE GOT A
VERY LARGE ABOUT NURSERY.
IN PLACERVILLE THAT SUPPORTS.
SEEDLINGS FOR MUCH OF
CALIFORNIA ALSO THAT A
COMMERCIAL FOREST INDUSTRY THE
COMMERCIAL NURSERY INDUSTRY HAS
OF A LARGE AVAILABILITY. OF
SEEDLINGS THAT TYPICALLY GO TO
LARGER LANDOWNERS WHAT WE FOUND
IS WAS MORE THE NICHE
SMALL LANDOWNER DIDN'T HAVE THE
ABILITY DIDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY
TO. BUY CEILINGS ON SPECULATION
BECAUSE THEY NEVER KNOW THEY'RE
QUITE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET IT
DONE THAT YEAR OR NOT.
HAVING THIS.
WE WE HOPE TO GROW UP TO AT THE
PEAK MAYBE THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND SEEDLINGS. IN DAVIS AND
THIS WILL BE DIRECTED TOWARDS
THESE LANDOWNERS WHO CAN'T GET
SEEDLINGS ARE IN THE SMALLER
QUANTITIES ANY OTHER WAY. HERE.
WILL YOU KNOW ANOTHER ASPECT TO
OTHER IN THESE CATACLYSMIC
FIRES.
DESTROYED OFF WATER WILDLIFE.
SO THE PRESERVATION VIA Y. FOR
OF ELEMENT HERE TO.
PART OF YOUR PICTURE AND I
TRUST IT IS BUT OF CO GENERATION
IS THAT GOING TO BE A ALSO PART
OF THE REMOVAL. PLAN.
COGENERATION IT DID IT IT'S ALL
TOOLS IN THE TOOLBOX AND
ABSOLUTELYTHE USE OF THE
MATERIAL UTILIZING. EVERY ASPECT
OF THE MATERIAL WE'RE TAKING OUT
ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO HELP PAY.
THAT WAY OUT OF THE WOODS OF
THIS MATERIAL AND CERTAINLY IN
USING OF THIS MATERIAL IN IN.
BIOMASS FACILITIES AS IT IS IS
CRITICAL ITS GOING TO TAKE THAT
TO GET ALL THIS DONE I THINK THE
POLICE PLACE I JUST ITHINK IT'S
IMPORTANT A TO TO RECOGNIZE THAT
THEY WITHOUT.
IF YOU CAN'T UTILIZE THIS WOULD
IN A IN A PRODUCTIVE WAY THAT
USUALLY WE WE BURN THESE PILES
ON THE GROUND AT THE SITES OF
THESE.
FORCE CLEARING SO.
YOU KNOW IT IS EMBEDDED IN ALL
OF OUR PRIORITIES TO TO FIND
BENEFICIAL USES FOR THIS
MATERIAL WHERE POSSIBLE AND IN
THE MIDST PUBLIC HEALTH. IT'S SO
WELL THAT YOU KNOW I I'M I'M
GLAD TO SEE THIS.
RECOGNITION AGAIN IT'S GOING TO
BE VERY HELPFUL FOR OUR FUTURE.
AND I THINK IF ANYTHING IN THE
LAST YEAR THE LESSON HAS BEEN
LEARNED.
IT AND FARCE POLLUTING OUR AIR.
THESE CATACLYSMIC FIRES.
A VERY DISASTROUS.
OF MUCH GREATER IMPACT IN MANY
OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAVE
DEVOTED SO MUCH OF OUR ATTENTION
TO AND ARE BUDGETARY RESOURCES
TO.
AND I'D I'D LIKE HOPE THAT
THAT'S NOW GOING TO BE
RECOGNIZED AND OUR
PRIORITIZATION WILL SHIFT A
LITTLE BIT BACK TOWARDS THE
SEQUESTRATION.
AND THE HEALTH OF OUR FORESTS
AND OUR WHILE LANCE AND IN THE
FUTURE.
THAT I'VE ALWAYS ADMIRED THE
DIRECT PIMLOTT THE EFFORTS OF
THE SHARE ABOUT CONSERVANCY I
THINK THAT'S ONE ENTITY THAT
REALLY HAS DONE A JOB.
AND IT'S DONE IT IN CONCERT WITH
FOR SAFE COUNTS OF FIRE SAFE
COUNCILS WITH THAT LOCAL
COMMUNITIES AT AN INVOLVEMENT.
THAT I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO CONTINUE TO BUILD ON
THAT MODEL AS YOU PROCEED
ABSOLUTELY THAT VERY CLOSE
PARTNER I'D. THANK YOU THIRTY
MILLION THIRTY MILLION WORTH FOR
THE SIERRA CONCERTS NEVADA'S
CONSERVANCY SENATOR STERN.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
.
SO CARBON PLAN AFFORDS CARBON
PLAN BUT A CARBON PLANTS I WANT
TO DIG IN A LITTLE BIT ON.
THE CARBON BENEFITS POTENTIALLY
OF THIS AND HOW YOU. IN A AYE I
APPRECIATE.
THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS THAT THAT
YOU'RE YOU'RE TRYING TO SORT
OCCURRED THIS WHOLE EFFORT IN.
I KNOW WE HAVE.
THE SCOPING PLAN FROM THE
AIRBORNE I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE
THERE TODAY OR HOW COR NATION'S
WORKING AT SOMETHING I WANT TO
LOOK INTO BUT.
.
HERE THEY ALREADY HAVE
IDENTIFIED I THINK OF FIFTEEN TO
TWENTY. MILLION METRIC TON
TARGET FOR REDUCTIONS FROM
CERTAIN NASH ON WORKING LANDS AS
A MINIMUM.
HOW MUCH CARBON DO YOU THINK
THAT THIS WARS CARBON PLANNED
HOW HOW MUCH CORPORATE THING
IT'LL REDUCE?
EITHER THROUGH SIX SEQUESTRATION
AVOIDANCE.
YEAH.
WORK WERE BOTH LOOKING AT YOU
EITHER BECAUSE WE THERE'S A
NUMBER IN THE FIFTEEN OR FOR
PLAN BUT IT. DID ESCAPES US AT
THE MOMENT IN IN THE FIFTEEN NO
FOUR PLAN.
BUT WHAT IS THAT SORRY.
IT FIFTY IN A ROW SO.
AB FIFTY NO FOUR IN THE SKINNER
THIS TOGETHER IN A BILL HOW.
AND THEY IT THE BORDER FOR SHE
WAS DIRECTED TO. ASSESS THE
CARBON QUAN MD WITHIN.
EXISTING.
STARSCREAM YEAH. AND THAT IS A.
COORDINATED BUT SOMEONE
INDEPENDENT EFFORT TO DO THAT
FOR THE BOARD AND THEN THAT
FEEDS INTO THE SCOPING PLAN AND
EVERY OTHER. PIECE THAT WE'RE
WORKING ON RIGHT NOW.
SO DO.
YEAH FOR SCHOOL RIGHT I MEAN
THERE'S SORT OF AN.
CHAIR BRINGS UP NET GAY I KNOW
THAT THIS IS ANOTHER GOAL WITHIN
A BELIEVE THERE. ALONGSIDE YOUR
FORCE CARMEN PUT IN THE AIRPORT
RELEASED A CONCEPT PAPER ON
NATIONAL WORKING LANDS.
WHERE THEY IDENTIFIED AS ONGOING
GOAL TO MAKE?
ARE FORCING NET CARBON SINK
RIGHT.
.
IS THIS GOING TO GET US THERE
HOW HOW FAR WILL THIS GET US
TOWARDS THAT HOW WE SORT OF
MEASURE EFFICACY FOR THE WHERE
BUILDING THE FORECASTING TOOLS
RIGHT NOW AND WE SHOULD HAVE
THOSE OPERATIONAL TO DEVELOP THE
PLAN THAT THE CONCEPT PAPER
OUTLINES. TIME IN THE SUMMER
BUT.
WE ARE BUILDING THE TOOLS RIGHT
NOW TO BE ABLE TO FORECAST HOW
MANY ACRES OF WORK WE NEED TO
CONDUCT ACROSS ALL OF THE
DIFFERENT LAND TYPES IN OUR
STATE. TO ACHIEVE.
.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN PICK THAT TAKE
THE TARGET BUT TO ACHIEVE YOU
KNOW OUTPUTS EXAMPLE IN THIS
PLAN WE WOULD
LOOK AT THE ACREAGES THAT STATE
PARKS IS CONDUCTING AND IN NORTH
COAST REDWOODS. AND ADD THOSE TO
THE SCENE ABOUT THE CONSERVANCY
ACREAGES ALONG WITH CAL FIRES
ACREAGES AND THEN RUN THE MODELS
TO SEE WHAT THAT TOTAL. OUTPUT
WOULD BE FOR CARBON
SEQUESTRATION WITHIN THAT MODEL
ITS ACCOUNTING FOR IT. YOU KNOW
THEY CAME THEY EXIST WILDFIRE
BASS LINES OF TRYING TO CAPTURE
WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM
WILDFIRE IN THOSE YEARS THAT
ALSO SOON SOME CLIMATE CHANGE
PRESSURES ON THEM BASED WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING IS WE DON'T YET
HAVE AN INVENTORY.
STATEWIDE FOR THE FORESTRY
SECTOR OR FOR NATIONAL WORKING
LANDS READ LARGE I THINK I THINK
THE INVENTORY ITSELF IS THE
BACKEND HOT EVALUATION OF WHAT
WE'RE DOING ON THE GROUND SO.
LOTS OF SATELLITES LOTS OF DATA
GIVE US A PICTURE OF WHAT
ACTUALLY HAPPENS ON THE
LANDSCAPE. THAT IS BEING
DEVELOPED RIGHT NOW BY THE AIR
RESOURCES BOARD.
AND IT'S A SEPARATE.
ITS A SEPARATE EXERCISE TO KIND
OF TRUTH TELL WHAT WE'RE
ACTUALLY SEEING ON THE GROUND SO
WE FORECAST A MODERATE FIRE YEAR
IF WE GET A. VERY BAD FIRE YEAR
THE INVENTORY WILL PICK THAT UP
AND THEN TELL US HOW WE ARE
DOING TO GET TO A CARBON SINK.
IN TOTAL IF THAT WEEK SO WE
HAVE TO WE GO TO GET THAT AIR
BOARD INVENTORY WE DON'T YET
KNOW WHAT OUR CARBON INVENTORY
LOOKS LIKE AT THIS POINT.
S. I KNOW THAT THE THE THERE'S
AN FALL OF TWENTY EIGHTEEN AND
NEVER WHEN THEY PROJECT THEIR
MODEL TO BE COMPLETE. I JUST I
WANTED I'M TRYING TO GET A SENSE
OF A NEED HERE AND AND.
HOW TO ACTUALLY SCOPE OVERALL
NEED BECAUSE THIS COULD BE AN
ONGOING AND POTENTIALLY
INCREASING LIABILITY RIGHT AND I
I APPRECIATE?
THE DOWN PAYMENT ON THIS EFFORT
IN THIS SORT OF ATTEMPT TO START
DOING NO REGRETS
WORK TO TACKLE IT BUT. YOU KNOW
WE'RE ALSO WERE UNDER A REGIME
ESPECIALLY NEW USING GIGI ERA
FUNDS WHERE WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO.
ME NEXUS REQUIREMENTS
DEMONSTRATE REDUCTIONS AND.
AND SORT OF. AS POLICY MAKERS WE
GUYS ARE TO SEE.
HOW MUCH OF THE CARE IT'S
GETTING US TOWARDS OUR GOAL AND
THEN?
WHAT STICKS DO WE HAVE TO APPLY
INSERT HOW DO WE?
HAD WE PUSH FOR AT LEAST SOME
REASONABLE TARGETS WE CAN
MEASURE SUCCESS HERE BECAUSE I
IF WE DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE NET
CARBON SINK AT THIS POINT OR
NOT.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT OUR
INVENTORIES WHEN DON'T QUITE
KNOW WHAT THE CARBON WE'RE GOING
TO REDUCE AS THIS IS.
AND WE'RE GONNA TRY TO DO THAT
MATH AFTER THE FACT I JUST
WONDER HOW WE SUDDENLY GOING TO
COME BACK NEXT YEAR AND SAY HEY.
IT'S ACTUALLY WERE A WAYS OFF
FROM EVEN HITTING
A TWENTY MILLION METRIC TON
TARGET OR A NET CARBON SINK IN
IN FACT. YOU KNOW THIS NINETY
SIX MILLION IS EVEN CLOSE
I I DON'T OWES HAD WE SET UP
MILESTONES FOR HIS OF HERE SO WE
CAN HAVE A SORT OF MEANINGFUL
PROCESS GOING TO WEEK SO WE HAVE
THE MEASUREMENT TOOLS TO SAY HOW
MUCH CARBON IS IN THE FOREST I
THINK. IT I THINK THE CHALLENGE
HERE IS THE HOW DO YOU BALANCE
THAT AGAINST THE EMISSIONS THAT
COME FROM WILD FIRE ON THE
GROUND. AND THAT'S WHERE THE
INVENTORY GIVES YOU THAT IT
UNDERSTANDS THE CARBON STOCK ON
THE GROUND AND THEN. OVER TIME
YOU GET THAT THAT PICTURE F
WHAT HAS DISAPPEARED OR WHAT HAS
GROWN BIGGER.
WE.
IT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION HOW DO
YOU HOW DO YOU SET METRICS AND
HOW DO YOU DEVELOP IMMEDIATE
TARGETS FOR US TO MEET WITH
THESE PROGRAMS.
WE KNOW THAT OUR FORESTS ARE
OVER STOCKTON AWAY THE PUTS IN A
GREAT RISK TO CATASTROPHIC FIRE
SO FOR US IT'S LIKE IT'S IT'S
ALMOST ZERO LIKE.
IT THE TO LOOK AT THE GOVERNMENT
XIN LI YES YEAH WE ALL SEEM TO
AGREE TO IT THAT'S A IT'S A
PROBLEM JUST HOW BIG OF A
PROBLEM AND HOW DO WE SORT OF
SCOPE NEEDS SO LIKE. DO WE HAVE
PRISONS DO WE HAVE A HAVE YOU
ALL SCOPE LIKE THE CURRENT
OVERALL STATE FUNDED FRAMEWORK
FOR CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT.
AND RESTORATION THEM MEASURES I
KNOW WE'VE APPROPRIATE SOME GIGI
R. F. IN THE PAST TOWARDS THIS
IS NOW TO MAKE THE GENERAL FUND
AND YOUR HAVE. YOU SENSE IS THAT
OVERALL STATE FUNDED ACTIVITY IN
THIS SPACE IN ADDITION TO THE
NINETY SIX MILLION GOING FORWARD
I DON'T I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBER
I DON'T I DON'T. I DON'T OF THE
TOTAL NUMBER OF ON GOING STATE
PROGRAMS THAT I CAN GET THAT FOR
YOU.
BUT WE DO HAVE THE PROGRAMS
IDENTIFIED IN THE FORCE CARBON
PLAN IN THEIR TYPICAL OUTPUT SO
YOU CAN LOOK AT WHAT THE WHOLE
EFFORT IS OKAY.
FINANCE JUST COMMENT HERE IN
TERMS OF JUST HOW HIS SCOPE NEED
HERE ONGOING.
YOU KNOW HOW TO ACTUALLY HIT AND
WE HAVE SOME STATUTORY
REQUIREMENTS TO FOR FOR BAD
VERIFICATION AND THINGS LIKE
THAT THAT HAVE TO GO I BELIEVE
THROUGH THE AIR BOARD ULTIMATELY
RIGHT TO AT. LEAST FOR THE
GINGER EFFRON WORLDS.
SURE.
YEAH YEAH I MEAN THERE'S
REQUIREMENTS SO THE AIR BOARD I
SAID CERTAIN CRITERIA THERE'S
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS SO THOUGH
IT IN TERMS OF THE ISLAND
CARBON.
THIRTY EMISSIONS AND
SEQUESTRATION TARGETS I KNOW
THAT THEIR THAT HAVE TO DIFFER
ON TO MY COLLEAGUES ON THE AIR
RESOURCES BOARD ASSIGNMENT THAT
THAT WORK MORE CLOSELY.
ON THAT SERVE CAP AND TRADE
EXPOSURE PACKAGING TO IN TERMS
OF HOW THAT FITS TOGETHER AND
FOR US IN THIS PROPOSAL I THINK
WE WERE LOOKING AT. HOW DO WE
TAKE THE FORCE CARBON PLAN WHICH
INTEGRATES SORT OF THE BEST
AVAILABLE SCIENCE AND HOW DO WE
SORT OF FUNDING THAT AND MAKE IT
REAL ACROSS ALL OF THE
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PLAN AND
THE PLAN SETS FOR CERTAIN
TARGETS IN TERMS OF? THE AMOUNT
OF ACREAGE THAT WE NEED TO TREAT
IN THE STATE IN TERMS OF
REACHING OUR EMISSION REDUCTION
TARGET GOALS AND SO THAT. FOR
THE STATE'S I'M PART OF THE
EXECUTIVE ORDER OF WHICH
SERVICES AND BEING CONSIDERED
INTENT ON WHEN. I'M IS TO TREAT
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND ACRES
STATEWIDE ACROSS AGENCIES ACROSS
LAND OWNERSHIP A YEAR UNCERTAIN
THIS WE BELIEVE THAT VESTS
INITIAL INVESTMENT WILL HELP US
REACH THAT TIME SOME OF YOU MAKE
TAKING THE LEAD FROM ACREAGE TO
TONNAGE.
I MEAN TO LIKE THAT THAT SEEMS
LIKE A LEAF SO YOU'RE YOU'RE IN
A YEAR AND A HALF A MILLION
ACREAGE GOAL. OKAY THAT'S A NICE
DEFINED SCOPE AND WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT FOCUSING ON THAT.
NINE MILLION ACRES IN
PARTICULAR BUT HOW DO WE GO FROM
ACREAGE TO.
LIKE THE NEXT UNIT CONVERSION SO
THE CONVERSIONS REALLY BASED ON
YOU KNOW WHERE WE APPLY THOSE
TREATMENTS IN THE FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND ACRES ACROSS ALL OF OUR
FORCE DID. YOU KNOW LANDSCAPE SO
THAT'S OR USING THE CARBON PLAN
TO HELP US IDENTIFY AND HERE'S
THE CHALLENGE.
WITH YOUR WORKING IN FOREST'S
WEAK FORCE GROW OVER TIME
CERTAINLY NOT OVERNIGHT AND SO
WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE FOR ITS
CARBON PLAN. IT WAS BEAT WE KNOW
WHAT OUR CARBON INVENTORIES ARE
NOW THAT WE HAVE TO PROJECT WHAT
THAT FORCED GROWTH IS GOING TO
BE OVER THE NEXT.
FORTY TO FIFTY YEARS.
AND IF NOTTHERE WERE NO OTHER
INFLUENCES WE WOULD BE ABLE TO
PROJECT HOW MUCH GROWTH AND KNOW
WHAT OUR CARBON INCREASE WULD
BE. THE CHALLENGE WE HAVE IS
OVER THE COURSE OF THOSE SEVERAL
DECADE YOU HAVE CATASTROPHIC
WILDFIRE YOU HAVE INSECTS ALL
THOSE THINGS COME IN AN IMPACT
NOT ONLY EMISSIONS INTO THE AIR.
BUT THEY ALSO WANTED TO BUT THEY
ALSO IMPACT.
THE NUMBER OF TREES GROWING
CARBON AND SO REDUCE IS NOT ONLY
FUNNY PRODUCES MORE MISSIONS IT
REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF CARBON. ON
THE GROUND IF WE DESTROY THE
TREES AND SO WE HAVE TO THE
ESTIMATES THAT WERE TRYING TO
MAKE THROUGH THE PLAN HAVE TO
TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION OUR BEST
ESTIMATES. OF HOW MANY OF THESE
EVENTS ARE GOING TO OCCUR OVER
THE COURSE OF A LIFE. OF A FOR A
STAND ON TOP OF THAT WE HAVE TO
LOOK AT AGAINST GOING BACK TO
THE ORIGINAL DISCUSSION WHAT IS
THAT OPTIMAL. GROWTH AND OPTIMAL
STOCKING IF YOU WILL FOR UP AN
ACRE TO GET THE MAXIMUM OUT OF
GROWTH.
AND AT THE SAME TIME PROTECTING
THAT SO IT'S A VERY IT'S A
COMPLEX EQUATION BUT WE DO HAVE
VERY CONSERVATIVE EVALUATIONS
OF.
OUR WHAT OUR CARBON STOCK IS NOW
AND WHAT WE THINK THE
PROJECTIONS NEED TO BE BUT IT'S.
THE VERY FLUID NUMBER BASED ON
WHAT WE THINK THE IMPACTS ARE
GOING TO BE OVER TIME.
AND I THINK WE'RE PROBABLY AFTER
RISKY JUST THAT NUMBER SOMEHOW
TO ACTUALLY DO AND SET THEM
ACCURATE PROJECTION GOING FOR IT
I WOULD JUST I WOULD JUST ASK.
AS AS WE PROCEED WITH
IMPLEMENTATION HERE.
MANAGER AGENCY A ME OUR CARBON
REGULATION AGENCY THE AIR BOARD
AND GETTING GOOD MODELING BACK
AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN I KNOW
THERE'S ALREADY. FUNDS THAT THE
GOVERNOR'S PUT FORWARD ON UPPING
OUR MODELING IN.
FIRE MAPPING IN GREENHOUSE GAS
MODELING IN CLIMATE RISK
ASSESSMENT IN ALTHOUGH I MEAN
YOU COULD YOU GUYS PUT OUT YOUR
MOST RECENT ASSESSMENT BUT.
HOW TO GIVE OURSELVES SOME
MEANINGFUL METRICS GOING
FORWARD?
I'D LIKE TO SEE JUST GOOD CROSS
AGENCY COORDINATION BECAUSE THAT
THE UNIT THE SAD THING WOULD BE
IS IF YOU GUYS CHARGE YOU HAVE
IN YOUR FORCE CARD PLAN AND
THEN.
WE SORT OF WE DON'T EVEN KNOW
HOW TO GIVE YOU CREDIT FOR THE
GOOD WORK YOU'VE DONE WE CAN'T
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT WITHIN THE
CURRENT PROGRAM IT. YEAH DEITY A
WASTED OPPORTUNITY AT THAT IS
THE EXACT POINT.
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT
GOING FORWARD RIGHT NOW IS WE
ARE WORKING ON THE NATIONAL
WORKING THAT'S IMPLEMENTATION
PLAN. THAT WILL BE THE PLACE TO
TELL THAT STORY AND A MONITOR.
IN OUR PROGRESS IN MEETING THESE
GOALS NOT ONLY IN THIS BUT ALSO
IN WETLAND RESTORATION ALL THE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF ACTIVITIES
SO.
GREAT THAT BECAUSE WE AYE I
THINK WE MAY HAVE THE CADILLAC
VERSION WE HAVE THE THINNING THE
PRESCRIBED BURNS THE WATERSHED
RESTORATION ALL THAT AND AND
WHAT'S THE CARBON. QUOTIENT FROM
THOSE LANDS AND THEN WE JUST DID
SOMETHING WHAT'S THAT CARBON
CAUTION FROM THAT LAND AND THEN
IT AND WERE IT WOULD BE GREAT IF
WE GET THE CADILLAC VERSION
EVERYWHERE RIGHT BUT. IT SEEMS
TO ME THAT YOU COULD GIVE US AN
AND YOU COULD HAVE DIFFERENT
LEVELS OF THINNING AND
PRESCRIBED BURNS AND AND ALL
THOSE DIFFERENT VARIABLES.
THAT WE LOOK AT IN SO THAT WE
NEED LEAST START GETTING SOME.
A BETTER FEELING ON THE CARBON
PARTS OF THAT SO THAT WE SEE IN
OKAY WITH THIS IS THIS IS THAT
TARGET CENTER NIELSEN YOU HAD A
QUESTION.
TRYING TO THROW THIS LITTLE BIT
TO GATHER. THAT WHAT CENTER
STARTED JUST BEEN TALKING ABOUT
PARTICULARLY.
AND ON THE VISION ACCEPTING DE.
DIRECT COME WHAT IS THAT KIND OF
A MASTER PLAN.
FOR LAYING THIS ALL OUT.
NOW THE CONCEPT.
IT WAS FIRST APPLIED TO HIGHER
EDUCATION.
BACK IN THE SIXTIES AND I ALONG
WITH THAT ASSEMBLYMAN
VASCONCELOS RE DID IT IN THE
EIGHTIES THAT MASTER PLAN FOR
HIGHER EDUCATION.
DEFINE THE MISSION GOALS AND
INTERRELATIONSHIPS OF THE THREE
LEVEL OF HIGHER EDUCATION WHAT
I'M ENVISIONING HERE THEN IS
GETTING TOGETHER. A LOT OF
PARTIES.
AND IT COULD BE FORMALLY DONE.
TO FORM A MASTER PLAN.
FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF OUR
FORCES%
IN A WILD LANDS OVER A PERIOD OF
TIME.
SETTING FORTH CERTAIN PARAMETERS
CERTAIN GOALS.
BUT GETTING IT RIGHT ON THE SAME
PAGE AND OTHER WHICH TO HOW DO
YOU STAGE WHERE WILL YOU DO THIS
THAT WHAT TIME WILL YOU DO THAT
BEDSIDE EVER THAT CONCEPT EVER
BEEN.
MORE FORMALLY.
CONCEIVED. IT REALLY HAS IT'S
ACTUALLY REALLY COMING FORWARD
IN THE THE GOVERNOR'S FORCED
MANAGEMENT TASK FORCE THAT'S IT
WILL BE INVOLVING HERE IN THE
NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS.
WELL THAT'S THE THE THE TRUE
INTENT OF THE TASK FORCE WE WE
HAVE THE PLANS WE KNOW.
WHAT WE NEED TO DO WE KNOW
WHEREWE NEED TO WORK WE GOT
DOCUMENTS
TO HELP US PRIORITIZE THAT NOW
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO LEVERAGE
TO PUT THOSE PLANS TO WORK IN A
UNIFIED? EFFORT AND THAT'S
REALLY WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH
THE TASK FORCES TO BRING QUALITY
ORGANIZATIONS.
STATE. LOCAL FEDERAL NON
GOVERNMENTAL OR TOGETHER.
SO THAT WE CAN LEVERAGE THAT
WITH PRIORITIES THAT WE CAN
AGREE TO WHERE WECAN PUT OUR
FUNDING AND LEVERAGE THAT WHAT
ARE THE PRIORITIES THAT WE CAN
GET THE. BIGGEST BANG YOU KNOW
FOR OUR BUCK AND HAVE THE MOST
IMPACT ON THE GROUND.
MY REQUEST AN OPPORTUNITY TO
MEET WITH THAT AUGUST BODY DO
THAT PURSUE THE CONCEPT A LITTLE
BIT IN PRACTICE HOW OF APPLIED
TO THAT VERY DIFFERENT REALM.
BUT THE CONCEPTS ARE JUST AS
RELEVANT AND JUST AS APPLICABLE
NOW. BECAUSE IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
THEN OR STILL ARE. THAT'S BEEN
THE STEWARDSHIP OF THE WHOLE
CHURCH CSU AND YOU SEE AND CAN
TO COLLEGES FOR FIFTY YEARS. I
THINK THIS COULD BE A PART OF
OUR PLAN FOR THE.
FOR THE FOURSOME WHILE ENDS OF
CALIFORNIA WE APPRECIATE YOUR
SUPPORT.
COLLEAGUES WHAT A WONDERFUL
FISCAL DISCUSSION WE'VE HAD A
MATCH WATER POLICY COMMITTEE
COULD DO WITH THIS SUBJECT
MATTER.
WE'RE GOING TO HOLD THIS MATTER
OPEN AND OUT MOVE ON TO.
I THINK YOU CAN MOVE ON TO
ISSUE NUMBER TWENTY TWO THIS IS
THE.
STATUTORY REQUIREMENT THAT THE
SAN FRANCISCO BAY CONSERVATION
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REMAIN IN
SAN FRANCISCO. AND SOME OFFICE
SPACE.
CURRENTLY.
OPPORTUNITIES.
WELCOME.
WELL THE YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT
CARBON PLAN.
THINK YOU CHAIR WHITE HOUSE KEY
AND SUBCOMMITTEE MEMBERS.
I AM STEVE GOAL BACK THE CHIEF
DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE SAN
FRANCISCO BAY CONSERVATION AND
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
AND THE COMMISSION IS A REGIONAL
STATE AGENCY THAT REGULATES ALL
DEVELOPMENT AND SAN FRANCISCO
BAY AND ALONG THE SHORELINE.
TO REDUCE.
THE NEEDED FILL AND TO MAXIMIZE
PUBLIC ACCESS.
AND WE ARE NOW LOCATED AND THE
SAN
S. CO STATE BUILDING.
AND.
THE* THAT WE HAVE BEFORE YOU
TODAY IS FOR THREE POINT TWO
MILLION DOLLARS FOR TEN
IMPROVEMENTS AND MOVING COSTS TO
MOVE US INTO THE RECENTLY
ESTABLISHED.
METRO CENTER.
AND THE METRO CENTER WAS
ESTABLISHED BY THE METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION THEY
BOUGHT THE BUILDING REFURBISHED
IT.
THEY ARE THERE ALONG WITH THE
ASSOCIATION OF BAY AREA
GOVERNMENTS AND THE BAY AREA AIR
QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT.
AS WELL AS THE SAN FRANCISCO
ESTUARY PARTNERSHIP. AND THE SAN
FRANCISCO BAY TRAIL THESE ARE
ALL.
AGENCIES THAT WE WORK TOGETHER
VERY CLOSELY WITH ON A DAILY
BASIS. AND MTC HAS.
INVITED US TO.
JOINED THEM IN THE BUILDING IS
ESTABLISHED SPACE FOREST'S THE
SPACE IS SET UP TO BE VERY.
COLLABORATIVE AND OPEN SPACE SO
THAT THE US DOUBTS CAN NOT ONLY
BE IN THE SAME BUILDING BUT CAN
BE WORKING SIDE BY SIDE.
AND WE ARE ALSO HOLDING OUR
PUBLIC MEETINGS THERE NOW
BECAUSE IT IS DESIGNED FOR OUR
TWENTY SEVEN MEMBER COMMISSION.
AND.
.
SO THAT WOULD MOVE US OUT OF OUR
PRESIDENT OFFICE SPACE AND IT SO
HAPPENS THAT THE. DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE NEEDS TO EXPAND THEIR
SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE AND THEY
WOULD EXPAND AND TAKE OVER OUR
SPACE.
IN THE SAN FRANCISCO STATE
BUILDING.
NOW WE THINK THAT THIS MAKES
SENSE AS A MATTER PUBLIC POLICY
BECAUSE WE WILL BE ABLE TO WORK
TOGETHER SO CLOSELY WITH OUR.
A FELLOW REGIONAL AGENCIES
PARTICULARLY. ON ADAPTING TO
RISING SEA LEVEL. IN SAN
FRANCISCO BAY AND.
AND OTHER MATTERS WITH WHICH WE
WORK TOGETHER.
SO WE THINK ON A POLICY MATTER
MAKES A LOT OF SENSE FOR US TO
MOVE THERE.
BUT FISCALLY OF WE BELIEVE IT
ALSO MAKES SENSE.
.
SAN FRANCISCO IS NOW THE MOST
EXPENSIVE REAL ESTATE MARKET NOT
ONLY FOR HOUSING BUT ALSO FOR.
OFFICE SPACE.
IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
AND THE OFFICE SPACE THAT WE.
THE LEAST THAT WE WOULD HAVE
WITH MTC WOULD BE BELOW MARKET.
AND SO.
IF WE MOVE IN THERE THEN.
THE PART OF JUSTICE BOOZE INTO
OUR SPACE IF WE STAY AND THE
STATE BUILDING THEN THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
HOUSE TO FIND ALTERNATIVE SPACE
IN THE MOST EXPENSIVE MARKET IN
AND.
THE COUNTRY.
AND SO THAT WOULD BE WE BELIEVE
FAR MORE EXPENSIVE IN OF COURSE
WOULD BREAK UP HEIR STAFF
BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOME IN THE
STATE BUILDING IN SOME.
IN OTHER SPACE SO WE BELIEVE
THIS MAKES SENSE FOR THE STATE
TO MOVE A SENATE WITH THAT.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS.
WE HAVE WHO DO WHO WAS TO BLAME.
PETRIE CARMACK TEAR WE SEE THAT
STEP REPORTS SHOWS US THAT THAT
THE PC DC MUST BE LOCATED IN SAN
FRANCISCO WHICH ONE OF THOSE TWO
WAS THE ONE THAT PUT THAT
LANGUAGE IN THAT. ENABLING
LEGISLATION I HAVE TO ADMIT IT'S
BEFORE MY TIME SO I CAN'T ANSWER
THE QUESTION BUT IT IS IN
STATURE IT.
ALEJO PICK OF.
YOU HAVE A COMMENT ON. ISSUE
NUMBER TWENTY TWO THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR I RACHEL EHLERS
WITH ANALYST'S OFFICE.
WE TOOK A LOOK AT THIS AND
WHILE THE PROGRAMMATIC BENEFITS
FOR BE CDC TO BE LET CO LOCATED
WITH THEIR PARTNERS ARE VALUABLE
WE DIDN'T THINK THAT THAT WAS
SUFFICIENT ALONE TO JUSTIFY THIS
PROPOSAL. BUT WE DID LOOK.
ADD DOJ'S NEEDS AND COSTS AS
WELL AS BE CDCS NEEDS AND COSTS
AND ALL TOGETHER AS A FULL
PACKAGE WE DID ULTIMATELY FEEL
THAT THIS IS THE LEAST COST
OPTION FOR THE STATE TO
ACCOMMODATE ALL THE NEEDS ACROSS
THE AGENCIES. TIME I WOULD JUST
ALSO NOTE THAT THIS IS A ONE
TIME FUNDING RIP MERCK QUEST FOR
THREE MILLION DOLLARS IN THE
ADMINISTRATION THE STATED THAT
NEITHER AGENCY WILL NEED
ONGOING.
AUGMENTATIONS TO ADDRESS THAT
LEASE COSTS IN THEIR NEW
FACILITIES THEY MOVE ONE MORE
TIME RIGHT JUST ONE MORE MOVE.
.
LET'S OPEN UP THE PUBLIC
HEARINGS OR ANYBODY HERE FROM
THE PUBLIC TO HAS AN OPINION ON.
THE BAY AREA METRO CENTER OR THE
RELOCATION OF THE CDC.
THE CHAIRMAN MEMBERS MIKE
MONEGAN ON BEHALF OF THE CUP.
SEASCAPE.
NOT POLITICIAN COMMISSION AND
THAT WE SUPPORT KEEPING THIS
ITEM OPEN.
THERE IS A DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN
MTC AND.
FINANCE ON THE HOUSE TURN
IMPROVEMENT COSTS.
WE NEED TO KEEP IT OPEN SO THOSE
DISCUSSIONS CAN CONTINUE.
THANK YOU.
CAN YOU.
EDUCATE VIA SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE
OTHER DISPUTE SO THE
ADMINISTRATION DID.
A VERY IN DEPTH ABOUT COST
BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF THIS
PROPOSAL AND.
THERE WAS A TERM THAT.
IT MAKES SENSE.
FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE AND
IT'S ALSO THE MOST COST
EFFECTIVE FROM A FISCAL
PERSPECTIVE.
.
AT ISSUE IS.
THE TEN IMPROVEMENT COSTS.
DEPARTMENT GENERAL SERVICES
TYPICALLY PROVIDES A HUNDRED
FORTY DOLLARS PER SQUARE FOOT
FOR THE.
THE SAN FRANCISCO REGION. AND
THE ADMINISTRATION.
.
BELIEVES THAT.
WHICH WE CONSISTENT WITH
APPLYING THAT ALLOWANCE OF UNDER
FORTY DOLLARS PER SQUARE FOOT SO
IF YOU.
TIME TO THAT BY THE NUMBER OF
SQUARE FEET THAT'S HOW WE GET
INTO. THE A PROPOSAL WHERE ROUTE
INCLUDING.
START AN ADDITION TO THE PRINTER
SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND FROM
COSTS.
I THINK IT PEDESTRIAN.
.
OBSERVATION WOULD SAY THAT SAID
AS WE'VE HEARD THAT SAN
FRANCISCO IS RATHER HIGH PRICED.
REAL ESTATE RIGHT NOW EVEN IF
YOU DON'T RENT THERE YOU SORT OF
KNOW THEIR THE DISEASE.
THE SDG ES
HAVE I MEAN THAT THE HUNDRED
FORTY SQUARE FOOT AYE REPRESENT
PART OF THE CENSUS COMPARE MY
COLLEAGUE TO MY RIGHT DOES.
COOPER.
THAT WERE CHEAP.
REPRESENT US BUT CHEAPER REAL
ESTATE AND ARE AREAS THAN THERE
IS IN DOWNTOWN.
AND AT THE METRO CENTER THIS TOO
IS THERE ANY.
.
WHAT'S THE WORD.
ADJUSTMENT.
THAT'S ALLOWED SO.
THE HUNTER AND FORTY DOLLARS PER
SQUARE FOOT IS ADJUSTED UP TO
THE REGION OTHER AREAS FRESNO
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
SAN DIEGO LA HAVE DIFFERENT
ALLOWANCES PER SQUARE FOOT SO
THE HUNTER FORTY DOLLARS IS
ADJUSTED UP.
AND NOW JUST ECHO THAT SAN
FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND HAVE.
SOME LOWEST VACANCY RATES IN
THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
COMMERCIAL SPACES.
IN A RECENT REPORT JUST STUDY
DECIDED.
.
AS MORE EXPENSIVE THE MANHATTAN
BOSTON SO WE WOULD I SAW THAT
NEWSPAPER ARTISTS.
SOME MEMBERS DO WE HAVE
QUESTIONS ON THEM.
ISSUE NUMBER TWENTY TWO THE
RELOCATION TO THE BAY AREA
METROCENTRE.
WE'LL GET HOLE THAT OPENED THANK
YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION SORRY.
WERE. MOVING RIGHT ALONG IT VERY
MUCH CALL UP THE DEPARTMENT OF
WATER RESOURCES THIS IS A JOINT
OPERATION CENTER. ON THE CORNER
OF EL CAMINO AND WATCH HERE IN
SACRAMENTO.
AND EVIDENTLY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT HAS SOME REQUIREMENTS
THAT REQUIRE SPECIAL.
CONSTRUCTION AND. YOU KNOW
THOSE.
THEY NEVER FOUND THE LITTLE A
LAW THEY DIDN'T WANT TO PASS AND
DAM WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES ARE
PLEASE. IF INDEED.
Y. NAMES ARE COKE I AM THE
DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR FLOOD
MANAGEMENT DAM SAFETY WITH THE
DEPARTMENT RESOURCES. I'VE JOHN
MAKES FROM HERE WHO WILL ADDRESS
THIS ISSUE FOR THE COMMITTEE.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN MEMBERS.
DELIVER OURS ASKING FOR NINE AND
SIXTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS AND
PROVISIONAL LANGUAGE TO ENTER
INTO A BILL TO SUIT.
LEASE.
THE GEO C. HAVE HOUSES STATE AND
FEDERAL ENTITIES THAT HAVE BEEN
WORKING COLLABORATION DE
MANAGING OPERATE STATE AND
FEDERAL WATER PROJECTS. HANDS
ALSO RESPOND TO THE STATE FLOOD.
EVENTS.
STATE OF THE ENTITIES AND
FEDERAL ENTITIES HAVE BEEN
WORKING TOGETHER SINCE NINETEEN
SIXTY. DE IN THE MID EIGHTIES
THEY REALIZE THAT.
THE COLLABORATION.
COULD TAKE A HIGHER LEVEL OF.
INTEREST AND TRY TO BRING THOSE
ENTITIES TOGETHER WE DID THAT IN
THE EARLY NINETIES.
THE FACILITIES OVER AT ONE NO
CAMINO UNFORTUNATELY THAT WAS
THE INTERIM LOCATION IT WAS
UNDERSTOOD. BECAUSE WE COULDN'T
MEET THE ESSENTIAL SERVICE NEEDS
FOR THE FLIGHT OPERATIONS
CENTER.
WE'VE BEEN.
IN ADDITION TO THE CENTRAL
SERVICE NEEDS SINCE THAT MOVE TO
THAT LOCATION WE'VE HAD HOLE SO.
.
BASICALLY HOMELAND SECURITY
ISSUES THAT CONTINUE TO BUILD
UPON THE NEEDS AT THAT LOCATION
ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO ADDRESS
FOR BOTH SPACE AND IT.
NEEDS AT THAT LOCATION
SO WE ASK FOR YOUR CONCURRENCE
TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD.
IN YOU SEE THAT LOCATION IS IT
JUST THE INFRASTRUCTURE BUILT
OUT ON THE.
IT.
OVER IT'S IT'S NOT SOMETHING
ABOUT EL CAMINO AND. YOU KNOW
IT'S THE IT'S THE INFRASTRUCTURE
INTERNAL HUH THE NEEDS FOR IT
WHO CAN ACCESS HOW WE ACCESS
THOSE.
NEEDS.
WHAT'S YEAH BUT IF I COULD JUST
THAT IT'S ALSO IN THAT HAS TO DO
WITH THE FACT THAT IT'S IN THE
FLOOD PLAIN STILL.
AND SO THAT'S AGAIN A PART OF
THE ESSENTIAL SERVICES THAT YOU
NEED TO BE OUT OF THOSE. THOSE
FLOOD PLAINS.
BELIAU.
THANK YOU.
AYE COUPLE THINGSTO HIGHLIGHT
WELL THIS IS A RELATIVELY MODEST
REQUEST BEFORE YOU THIS YEAR
LESS THAN A MILLION DOLLARS
THEIR SIGNIFICANT OUT YOUR COSTS
YOU CAN SEE IN THE. BOND
PROPOSAL.
THEY'RE ESTIMATING SEVEN
MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR ANNUALLY
FOR AT LEAST COSTS FOR TWENTY
FIVE YEARS AS WELL SIGNIFICANT
MOVING COSTS. HOWEVER THIS IS
REALLY A SPECIALIZED BUILDING
THAT HOUSES THE OPERATIONS FOR
THIS.
STATE WATER PROJECT AS WELL AS
THE CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND.
ABOUT THE FLOOD RISK MEMBERS NC
RESPONSE SO THE BUILDING HAS A
LOT OF SPECIALIZED NEEDS AND OUR
REVIEW WITHIN A ADMINISTRATION
THEY HAVE DONE THEIR DUE
DILIGENCE AND FINDING THE BEST
OPTION. FOR HOW TO WORK WITH THE
FEDERAL PARTNERS AND FIND THE
SITE FOR THIS SO.
WE WE DO THINK THAT THIS IS
JUSTIFIED REQUEST BED JUST I
WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THERE
WILL BE FUTURE REQUEST COMING
BEFORE YOU FOR SIGNIFICANT
ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR THIS
PROJECT RIGHT. SO WHEN'S THE
MOVE IN DATE WATER YOU KNOW
WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY
LESSEN MILLION CORRECT SEVEN
MILLION A YEAR.
FOREVER NO JUST. BUT WHEN WE
GIVE ME SOME IDEA OF THE
TIMELINE HERE FOR THIS.%
SO THAT IF WE WERE TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH THE FUNDS.
WE CONTINUE APPROPRIATE WE
WOULD LOOK AT A A MID TO LATE
TWENTY TWENTY ONE MOVE IN. TO
PHYSICALLY BE ABLE TO.
OPEN THE FRONT DOOR AND WALK IN
AND MOVE IN.
OKAY LET'S OPEN UP THE PUBLIC
HEARING THIS IS ISSUE NUMBER
TWENTY THREE THE DEPARTMENT OF
WATER RESOURCES JOINT OPERATIONS
WITH.
OUR FRIENDS AT HOMELAND
SECURITY.
OKAY LET'S CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
MEMBERS WE HAVE QUESTIONS ON.
THIS IS A MODEST REQUEST THIS
YEAR BUT IT GETS BETTER.
NEXT FISCAL HERE.
AND THIS IS IN THIS IS
ESSENTIALLY.
BY DO TAKING THIS STEP. WERE
WERE AND.
I THINK THE NEXT UP AND AND
FINANCE CAN WEIGH IN BUT I THIS
IS IT FOR THE LEGISLATURE AM EX
AND TELL THEM MOVING AND LEASE
COSTS COME BEFORE BUT IT BUT THE
PROJECT WILL GO BEFORE THE
PUBLIC WORKS BOARD FOR FINAL
APPROVAL BEFORE CAN MOVE
FORWARD.
OPENS SACK.
WHAT'S UP WITH THE STATE PUBLIC
WORKS BOARD. OKAY AND AND
DEPARTMENT FINANCES CAN HAVE THE
FINAL SAY BEFORE THEY ARE
SPIEGEL'S OUT TO THE SOLICITOR
CONTRACTOR.
A WIDOW WE DON'T VISION THE COST
ESTIMATES CHANGING MILD.
ALRIGHT THANK YOU FOUND WE'RE
GONNA HOLD THAT MATTER OPEN AND
MOVE ON TO A FLOOD CONTROL
INFRASTRUCTURE.
THIS IS.
PLEASE YEAH.
SO IT ERIC COKE AGAIN IN THE
CHRISTIAN EL. IS GOING TO JOIN
US AS WELL HE'S RECENTLY
APPOINTED DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR
THE.
INTEGRATED WATERSHED MANAGEMENT
A GROUP AND.
FORMERLY WITH A.
AGENCY AND SO WE'RE GONNA START
A TAG TEAM THAT'S.
DELIVERS A QUESTION GENERAL
FUND TO ADDRESS HIGH RISK URBAN
AREAS AND OPERATIONS MAINTENANCE
ACTIVITIES WITH THE USE OF BOMB
FUNDS LIMITED. PROPOSITIONS ONE
IN EIGHTY FOUR BOND FUNDS HAVE
BEEN FULLY ALLOCATED AND CURRENT
AND PROPOSED BOND FUNDS ARE
LIMITED IN USE FOR URBAN UNITED
STATES ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEER
PROJECTS. AND OPERATIONS AND
MAINTENANCE
BECAUSE THESE ACTIVITIES ARE NOT
AND USUALLY MULTI BENEFIT IN
NATURE. AND THE CURRENT A
PROPOSED BONDS ARE ARE VERY MUCH
GEARED TOWARDS MULTI BENEFIT
PROJECTS.
HE DID DVRS REQUEST INCLUDES
HUNDRED SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS
OVER FIVE YEARS FOR HIGH RISK
URBAN AREAS. THESE FUNDS WILL
ALLOW THE DIVERT PARTNER WITH
LOCAL AGENCIES IN THE UNITED
STATES ARE REQUIREMENTS IN THE
YEARS ON FEDERALLY LED PROJECTS
THAT CONTRIBUTE TO A TWO HUNDRED
YEAR LEVEL OF FLOOD PROTECTION.
THAT WILL LEVERAGE AN ESTIMATED
SIX HUNDRED NINETY MILLION
DOLLARS IN FEDERAL FUNDS.
YOU MAY ALSO REQUEST ONGOING
FUNDS OF TWENTY FIVE MILLION
YEAR TO MAINTAIN THE FLOOD
SYSTEM. TIMELY MAINTENANCE IS
CRITICAL AND HELPS PREVENT
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.
THESE FUNDS WILL PROVIDE
INITIATIVES FOR COST SHARING
WITH LOCAL MAINTAINING AGENCIES.
AND FUND WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE
FOR PRIORITY PROJECTS THAT
REDUCE POTENTIAL STATE
LIABILITY.
FINALLY OF THERE'S A ONE TIME
REQUEST FOR ONE POINT THREE
MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE CENTER
VOTE FOR PROTECTION BOARD.
THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE
FEASIBILITY STUDY REGARDING THE
LEVYING OF US ASSESSMENT FEES.
ON THE SACRAMENTO SAN JOAQUIN
DRAINAGE DISTRICT THERE'S
AUTHORITY A LAW CURRENTLY FOR
THIS. BUT THE DETAILS OF HOW
SOMETHING LIKE THIS MIGHT EVEN
BE FEASIBLE NEEDS TO BE WORKED
OUT THIS ONE POINT THREE WOULD
COME OUT OF THAT FIRST YEAR OF
THE TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
SO WITH THAT.
I CAN SEE THE GLEE FROM MY
COLLEAGUE FROM TEHAMA COUNTY.
WITH THIS PROPOSAL IS THIS ARE
ALL THESE INFRASTRUCTURE FLOOD
CONTROL INFRASTRUCTURE THIS IS
STATEWIDE. DESERT THIS IS THIS
IS EVER POSSIBLE POSSIBLE AREA
THAT SIN BECAUSE IT NEEDS
FOOTAGE OF THIS IS NOT LIMITED
GEOGRAPHICALLY NOTE IS LIMITED
GEOGRAPHICALLY PRIMARILY TO IS
TO.
ARMY CORPS PROJECTS THAT THE
STATE.
BICU PARTNERS WITH LOCAL
AGENCIES ON STATE PLENTIFUL
CONTROL FACILITIES WITHIN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY.
WHY WOULD WE WANT TO DO THAT IF
WE HAVE FLOOD CONTROL? ISSUES
EVERYWHERE SO THERE ARE OTHER
PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE THAT THAT
PROVIDE FUNDING IN TERMS OF
LOCAL ASSISTANCE AND OTHER
METHODS FOR OTHER.
OUTSIZE UNDERBELLY IS ALSO THE.
A STATEWIDE SUBVENTIONS PROGRAM
AND THAT'S OF VENGEANCE BECAUSE
ATTENTION PROGRAM.
THAT IS CURRENTLY FUNDED WITH
MONEY FUNDS.
AND SO THAT'S NOT THAT'S ON THE
TABLE HERE RIGHT NOW NORMALLY WE
HAVE A COMPETITIVE GRANT
PHILOSOPHY HERE IN CALIFORNIA WE
SAY OKAY IF YOU'RE DISTRICT
NEEDED SORT OF HIS DISTRICT OR
MY DISTRICT. WE HAVE ARMY CORPS
ENGINEER PROJECTS HERE WE'VE GOT
FLOODING.
YOU KNOW THIS IS THE FIRST
HUNDRED NINETY FIVE MILLION.
BUT SEPARATE WHO'S WHO'S READY
WHAT'S WHAT'S THE WORD THEY SAY
SHOVEL READY FOR THEIR ARE SO SO
THERE ARE OTHER BOND FUNDS
SOURCES WE HAVE PROPOSITION ONE
WE HAVE. POTENTIALLY
PROPOSITIONS EXTERIOR COMING UP
WHICH TO CENTRAL VALLEY GETS TO
COMPETE FOR THOSE PROJECTS.
RIGHT THERE THEY'RE NOT PUBLIC
DO NOT SAYING THIS IS PROP SIXTY
EIGHT CENTRAL VALLEY CAN'T GET
ANY PARK FUNDS THEY'RE IN THERE
COMPETING WITH ALL OF US.
THOUGH THE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT SPENDING THIS
HUNDRED SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS ON
OUR CORE PROJECTS THAT HAVE
ALREADY BEEN AUTHORIZED BY
CONGRESS. THEY'RE ALREADY
RECEIVING FUNDING MOST OF THEM
ARE UNDER WAY CURRENTLY AND
THERE'S REALLY NO OTHER FUNDING
SOURCE WITH FORTY SIGNED
AGREEMENTS WITH THE WITH THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SO. WE NEED
TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAINTAIN
OUR COST SHARE TO KEEP THAT
FEDERAL DOLLARS ROLLING IN AND
TO BUILD THESE VERY CRITICAL
URBAN PROJECTS.
IF YOU DON'T HEAR YOU SAYING YOU
DON'T HAVE ANY CONTRACTS SIGNED
THE FLIGHT CONTROL OUTSIDE THE
CENTRAL VALLEY THAT NEED
FUNDING.
I'M NOT IN TERMS OF STATE
LIABILITY SOUL GOES BACK TO
STATE PLAN A FLOOD CONTROL
THERE'S LIABILITY THAT THE STATE
HAS BE A PATERNAL.
AND SO WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY
FROM THAT STANDPOINT KIND TO
REDUCE THAT LIABILITY AND
PROTECT YOU NOW THAT URBAN AREAS
WITHIN CENTRAL VALLEY. SO THAT'S
WHY BILLY MAYBE LOCAL RIGHT
WHICH IS NOT THE STATE LIABILITY
ON THESE OUTSIDE THE CENTRAL
VALLEY.
RIGHT I MEAN IS IT IS IT ALWAYS
A STATE LIABILITY OR COULD BE
THE LOCAL FLOOD CONTROL
DISTRICT'S LIABILITY FOR SOME
REASON THAT I'M UNABLE TO
UNDERSTAND GOOD.
SO THERE'S A SALLY ó YEAH
SORRY REGIONALLY LAZILY OUT SO
THERE'S A CERTAIN PORTION OF THE
FLOOD CONTROL SYSTEM ACROSS THE
STATE FOR WHICH THE STATE HAS
SPECIAL LIABILITY BECAUSE OF HOW
IT WAS CONSTRUCTED BECAUSE OF
AGREEMENTS THAT THE STATE SIGNED
WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THE
US ARMY CORPS.
DECADES AND DECADES AGO MOST AND
MOST AND THAT IS WITHIN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY AND IT'S IT'S
VERY CLEARLY ARTICULATED THERE'S
A MAP THIS LEVEES PART OF IT
THIS LEVEES NOT BUT BUT IT'S
MOSTLY. MOST OF THE MAIN STEM OF
THE SACRAMENTO RIVER AND PART OF
THE SAN JOAQUIN RIVER FOR WHICH
THE STATE HAS SPECIAL LIABILITY
AND THERE'S BEEN A SIGNIFICANT
COURT CASE OF THE THAT MUCH
REFERENCE THE PATERNAL CASE THAT
FOUND THAT. IF THE LEVEES ARE
POORLY MAINTAINED AND BREACHED
ALONG THAT SYSTEM IS THE STATE
THAT IS LIABLE THAT'S DIFFERENT
FROM OTHER AREAS AROUND THE
STATE. WHERE?
THE FLOOD CONTROL SYSTEM IS
OWNED BY THE LOCALS AND THE
LOCALS HAVE THE LIABILITY SO
THAT'S WHY THIS IS A SPECIAL.
OPS STATE INTERESTS AND AND
STATE FUNDING SO OF THE HUNDRED
AND THAT'S A HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
MILLION.
IS FOR PROJECTS THAT WOULD THAT
THERE'S FEDERAL MONEY ON THE
TABLE AND THERE'S A STATE
REQUIRED SHARE AND IF WE DON'T
PROVIDE THE STATE'S SHARE WE
WON'T BE ABLE TO ACCESS AND
LEVERAGE THAT FEDERAL MONEY. SO
FOR THAT REASON WE WOULD
RECOMMEND APPROVING THIS HUNDRED
AND SEVENTY MILLION.
SIMILARLY THE TWENTY FIVE
MILLION HONG GOING IS FOR STATE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT STATE PHONE
SYSTEM AND. THE OTHER
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OTHER
LEVEES AND OTHER FOR FLOOD
CONTROL THERE'S NOTHING IN THIS
PROPOSAL.
CORRECT BUT NOT IN THIS PROPOSAL
THERE WERE PIECES IN THAT.
PROP SIXTY EIGHT.
A PROPOSAL THAT CAME BEFORE YOU
IN JANUARY THAT WERE STATEWIDE
THERE WAS A CODE THERE'S A BAY
AREA AT THE PROGRAM SPECIFICALLY
FOR COASTAL REGIONS I CAN RECALL
THAT SACRIFICE. FOR BOTH FULL WE
OFFEND FLOODING. RIGHT BUT THERE
WAS A WOULD MEAN IT WAS
PROPORTION.
COMPETITIVE I READ BY POPULATION
RIGHT I THOUGHT.
IT'S AYE I THINK FORGET HOW WAS
OR WAS THE PROJECT WAS PROJECT I
THINK BY TYPE OF THE FLOOD PLAIN
YET THE A TYPE OF PROJECT IN IN
THOSE ARE COMPETITIVE GRANTS
LOCAL AGENCIES. YOU KNOW OUTSIDE
ITS UNDERBELLY THEY ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR FLOOD PROTECTION
IN THOSE AREAS SO THE STATE DOES
HAVE AN INTEREST AMID ECONOMICAL
STANDPOINT IT'S A WE DO WANT TO
HELP OUT WE DO WANT TO PROVIDE
FUNDS. BUT THAT ULTIMATE
LIABILITY IN THAT ULTIMATE
AUTHORITY. FOR THAT PROTECTION
LIES WITH THE LOCAL AGENCIES NOT
STATED CALIFORNIA SO WHAT SHARED
HIS THE BENEFICIARIES THE PEOPLE
THAT LIVE IN THIS AREA THAT THAT
THAT. THEY'VE GOT THE LOCAL CITY
COUNCIL APPROVED THEIR HOME THEY
LIVE IN THIS AREA WHAT'S.
WHAT MONEY DO THEY HAVE ON THE
TABLE OF THESE PROJECTS ALL
REQUIRE?
LOCAL SPONSORS WELL THROUGH THE
LOCAL STATE AND FEDERAL SPONSOR
TYPICALLY THIS IS JST TYPICALLY
TYPICALLY THE CULTURES ARE.
SIXTY FIVE FEDERAL THIRTY FIVE
NON FEDERAL THAT NON FEDERAL
IT'S FURTHER SPLIT. TYPICALLY
SOMEWHERE AROUND SEVENTY THIRTY
BETWEEN THE STATE THE LOCAL
AGENCY SO IT AMOUNTS TO ABOUT
TEN PERCENT OF THE PROJECT TEN
TO FIFTEEN PERCENT OF PROJECT
COSTS ARE BORNE BY THE LOCAL
AGENCIES AND THIS HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY MILLION PRESUMABLY HAS
THAT. THAT. THAT REFLECTION WITH
THE LOCAL PARTICIPATION.
RIGHT MY MANY OF THESE AREAS
HAVE ALREADY PASSED LOCALS
ASSESSMENTS FOR THEIR.
PROPERTY OWNERS TO BE PAYING
FOR IT FOR THAT LOCAL SHARE AND
I THINK I WILL KNOW TO THERE ARE
ARMY CORPS.
FLED PROJECTS THAT ARE APPROVED
IN OTHER AREAS OUTSIDE OF THIS
THE CENTRAL VALLEY THERE'S.
LARGE ONE IN NAPA THAT WAS
COMPLETED A FEW YEARS AGO WHERE.
THAT THE BOYS AND ARMY CORPS
PROJECT WHERE THERE WAS A LOCAL
SHARE AS WELL AND THIS AND A
STATE SHARE SO THAT STATE
FEDERAL LOCAL. AGREEMENT IS
TYPICAL FOR ARMY CORPS PROJECTS
IT'S JUST THAT THE MAJORITY IF
NOT ALL OF THESE ARE HOW ARE IN
THE CENTRAL BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE
ALL CALL OUR. BECAUSE THAT'S
WHERE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS
CHOSEN TO PUT.
.
THAT FUNDING APPROVAL THUS FAR
FOR THESE PROJECTS
LET'S OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING
ON THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
DOCKET TO MEMBERS.
.
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC ON HERE
AND FLOOD CONTROL
INFRASTRUCTURE.
BUDGET TRAILER. BUT YOU'RE NOT
AND NUMBERS TRAILER BILL. THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN BOB READ.
WITH THREE GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
ON BEHALF OF OF THE CALIFORNIA
CENTER VALLEY FLOOD CONTROL
ASSOCIATION.
SENATOR BUTTE FLOOD CONTROL
AGENCY AND THE TO LAYER THE TULE
RIVER IMPROVEMENT JPA.
THIS IS AS TO AS TO THE FUNDING
REQUEST
THERE ISN'T ANY SUPPORT THAT
FUNDING.
THE TULE RIVER FOLKS SUPPORT
THIS THEY ARE IN LINE FOR
PROJECT THAT CENTRAL VALLEY
THAT'S NOT PART OF THE STATE
PLAN FLOOD CONTROL. BUT WE HAVE
BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEPARTMENT
WATER RESOURCES IN THE US ARMY
CORPS OF ENGINEERS IS ON A
PROJECT DOWN IN. IN.
NEAR EAST PORTERVILLE. AND
WHILE IT WOULDN'T BE ELIGIBLE
FOR THESE FUNDS WERE INFORMED BY
THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES THAT PROP ONE THE
MONEY IS STILL AVAILABLE. IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD OF A HUNDRED SIXTY
FOUR PLUS MILLION DOLLARS FOR
THE TYPE OF PROJECTS THAT. THE
SANTA CLARA VALLEY WATER
DISTRICT OR TO THE RIVER AND
OTHERS WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF.
SO THIS FUNDING IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT ON THE TABLE TODAY FOR
IMPLEMENTATION CENTER VALLEY
FLOOD PROTECTION PLAN WHICH THE
ADMINISTRATION ADOPTED PURSUANT
TO STATE LEGISLATION. IN TWO
THOUSAND SEVEN AND FOUR
OPERATION MAINTENANCE THE OTHER
PIECE OF THIS IS THAT THE
QUESTION WAS TO WHETHER THE
LOCALS HAD A COST SHARE. ONCE
THESE PROJECTS ARE BILL THE
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY FOR
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE FALLS
ON THE LOCAL AGENCIES.
AND THEY THEY SELF ASSESS
THROUGH PARCEL ASSESSMENTS TO
PROVIDE THAT FUNDING AS WELL.
AS FOR THE THE TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE OF THE FIRST
CALIFORNIA'S CENTRAL VALLEY
FLOOD CONTROL ASSOCIATION
SUPPORTS.
THAT.
IN WITH RESPECT THE DELTA LET
ME MAINTENANCE OF PENSIONS
PROGRAM.
BUT SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN
WORKING ON WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION AND OTHER
INTERESTS FOR. TWENTY YEARS IT'S
A PROGRAM THAT I ACTUALLY
REALIZED LAST WEEK THAT I
ANALYZE THE ORIGINAL BILL IN
NINETEEN EIGHTY SIX WHEN I WAS A
CONSULTANT FOR THE ASSEMBLY
WATER PARKS AND WILDLIFE
COMMITTEE SO IT'S SOMETHING I'VE
BEEN WORKING ON FOR AWHILE.
IT'S A VERY SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM
IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGE WITH
RESPECT TO. A SUNSET PROVISION
THAT JUST KEEPS.
GOING ON THE PROGRAM AND THIS
TRUCK TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE
ACCOMPLISHES.
THE THE ESSENTIALLY ALLOWS THE
CURRENT COST SHARING FORMULA TO
GO FORWARD IT.
WILL INCREASE THE UP FRONT
COSTS FOR URBAN AREAS TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE STATE'S
INVENTIONS PROGRAM FOR LEVY
MAINTENANCE.
AND IT MODERNIZE IS THE CODE.
POSTED A PROP TO EIGHTEEN SO I
THINK IT'S IT'S
SOMETHING THAT WE SAT DOWN AND
NEGOTIATED WITH THE RESOURCES IN
SEEING THE DELTA STEWARDSHIP
COUNCIL. AND WE'RE PLEASED TO
SUPPORT IT.
HERE TODAY.
GOOD AFTERNOON ROBERT COR FROM
THE LOCAL GROUP ON BEHALF OF THE
SACRAMENTO AREA FLOOD CONTROL
AGENCY UNFORTUNATELY IT'S NUMBER
ONE ON THE NATION'S MONTH MOST
AT RISK OF FLIGHT AREA POSITION
NOBODY WANTS.
WE STRONGLY ENDORSE THE LA GO
AND GOVERNOR'S OUR
RECOMMENDATIONS WE'D LIKE TO
POINT OUT ALSO THAT THIS FUNDING
LEVERAGES. MORE THAN THREE
QUARTERS OF A BILLION DOLLARS IN
LOCAL ONCE AND AND FEDERAL.
MONEY A SO IT'S IT'S AN
EXCELLENT IN INVESTMENT AND.
.
THE HOPE AND WE'VE ALSO GOTTEN
LETTERS AND FROM THE FLOOD
CONTROL CAUCUS AND OUR OWN CITY
CAN REFER THOSE FOR ADDITIONAL
DETAILS THANK YOU.
CONTROL CAUCUS. OKAY I GUESS.
I NEVER GET INVITED THAT.
.
CENTER NIELSEN HAD A QUESTION.
WELL THIS IS KIND OF A LONG
STANDING THING. WHO'S CHAIRMAN
AND. GOES BACK TO THE EARLY PART
OF THE.
THE LAST CENTURY WHEN WE WERE
RECLAIMING A LOT OF CALIFORNIA.
WHEN A LOT OF THE NATION. HAS
BEEN RECLAIMED.
EVEN GOES BACK TO SOMETHING
CALLED THE ARKANSAS SWAP BACK TO
NIGHT EIGHTEEN FORTY EIGHT.
BUT WHERE WE'RE AT NOW. AND I'VE
WORKED WITH YOU IN TERMS OF
LEVEES THAT PROTECT. THE STATE
WATER PROJECT CONVEYANCE SYSTEM.
THAT IS IMPORTANT.
WELL AS OUR WATER CALLED THE
BYPASS LEVEES SWITCHER FLOOD
CONTROL FACILITIES AND DIVERT
WATER OUT OF THE MAIN RIVER.
CHANNELS SO THAT THOSE.
BUT LEVEES TO DO NOT BREAK.
AND THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF
WHAT HAPPENED A DOOR BILL.
AND THE DAMAGE TO OFF A LOT OF
LEVEES THAT OCCURRED.
AND ALSO SPEAK AS ONE WHO
REPRESENTED A GOOD PORTION OF
THE DELTA NORTH DEALT IN CENTRAL
DELFT OVER THE YEARS.
AND THERE'S ALWAYS BIT AN
OBLIGATION FOR A LOT OF THOSE
LEVEES ALSO.
AND THAT'S FOR THE INTEGRITY OF
THE WATER SUPPLIES IN THE
CONVEYANCE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AS WELL SO THERE IS A
VERY BROAD APPLICATION.
A QUESTION ABOUT THE SACRAMENTO
SAN JOAQUIN DRAINAGE DISTRICT IS
THAT STATUTORILY CREATED LIKE
THE COLUSA BASHAN DRAINAGE
DISTRICT.
IS THAT A STATUTE I BELIEVE THAT
IT IS US OKAY. AND AN EFFORT TO
STATUTE THEN IT IS FUNDED BY.
BENEFICIARIES CORRECT.
IT HAS THE ABILITY TO BE US AND
THAT'S THAT'S WHAT THIS STUDY IS
TO LOOK AT IS IS IS THAT. YOU
KNOW IT'S IN THERE BUT. WHAT'S A
PRACTICAL WAY TO IMPLEMENT
SOMETHING LIKE THAT COOLEY FORM
THE SECTOR OF THE OF. THE COLUSA
BASIN DRAINAGE DISTRICT THEY
THAT WAS A PART OF THE PROGRAM
AT THE TIME THOSE BENEFICIARIES
DID PAY THEIR PORTION.
SO THAT'S PRECEDENT.
IT ALSO PRESIDENT I WILL
EMPHASIZE THAT PATERNAL DECISION
IN TERMS OF THE OBLIGATION THE
STATE I BELIEVE THAT WAS A FOUR
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR
SETTLEMENT.
AND SO THAT CHANGES THE DYNAMICS
AND FORWARD AS FAR AS. THE
PROTECTING.
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND IN
THIS PARTICULAR CASE THERE'S OF
PROTECTION WOULD BE SIMPLY THE
SACRAMENTO RIVER DELTA. AND
TERMS OF THE WHOLE STATE WATER
PROJECT THAT IS A CONSIDERATION.
MISTER CHAIR JUST TO NOTE ALSO.
THERE IS A SEPARATE PROPOSAL
BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE FORUM ONE
HUNDRED MILLION IN ONE TIME
FUNDING GENERAL FUND FOR
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE ON THE
STATE'S LEVEES AS WELL THAT I
THINK IS BEING HEARD IN IS
DIFFERENT SUBCOMMITTEE AS PART
OF THE OVERALL. DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE PROPOSAL BET ON THAT
OBVIOUSLY VERY RELATED SAID JUST
WANNA BE SURE THAT HE'S AWARE OF
THAT TALKED ABOUT AND SHARE. A
TEN FOR.
ALRIGHT. ALRIGHT.
THANK YOU WOULD WILL HOLD THIS
MATTER FARM AND LET'S MOVE ON
TO.
TRANSPARENCY AND WATER DATA.
AND HOW WE CAN HAVE OPEN AND
TRANSPARENT WATER DATA.
THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON THAT CHAIR WERE
KOWSKI.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY NAME IS
CALM THE ARGUE THAT SHE HAD COME
WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES.
I MANAGE STATEWIDE INTEGRATED
WATER MANAGEMENT. AND ON THE
MANAGEMENT SPONSOR FOR
IMPLEMENTING THE OPEN AND
TRANSPARENT OUT WATER DATA ACT
ALSO KNOWN AS AB SEVENTEEN FIFTY
FIVE.
THE. FOR BUDGET REQUEST BEFORE
YOU WAS PREPARED IN COORDINATION
WITH THE OFFICE OF PLANNING AND
RESEARCH.
THE STATE WATER RESOURCES
CONTROL BOARD AND THE DEPARTMENT
OF FISH AND WILDLIFE.
AND SPECIFICALLY THE REQUEST IS
FOR A CONTINUATION OF EIGHT
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR
FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS.
THAT WOULD BE.
ALLOCATED FOUR HUNDRED AND
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR
TO D. W. ARE. TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR TO THE
WATER BOARD. AND A HUNDRED AD
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR TO
THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND
WILDLIFE.
THE REQUEST IS ALSO TO HAVE.
THE.
BASELINE FUNDING A FOUR HUNDRED
AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A
YEAR.
FOLLOWING THAT. THE
SPECIFICALLY THE FUNDING WOULD
BE USED TO. CUT TRANSFORM AND
POST AGENCY DATA ON THE NEW.
DATA PLATFORM.
TO DEVELOP AND TEST THE
PROTOCOLS AND STANDARDS CALLED
FOR BY THE LEGISLATION.
AND TO ESTABLISH A LONG TERM
GOVERNANCE AND FINANCE
OF AN ORGANIZATION AND MODEL. SO
THAT WE CAN KEEP THIS PLATFORM.
ADORABLE AND MAINTAINED OVER
TIME.
UP JUST IN CLOSING I'LL ALSO
NOTE THAT.
.
DE W. ARE PUT OUT A PROGRESS
REPORT AT THE END OF JANUARY ON
OF THE STATUS OF IMPEMENTATION.
IN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO WILL BE
PUTTING OUT A SECOND PROGRESS
REPORT.
AND.
TOMORROW AT THE NOON HOUR THE
CALIFORNIA COUNCIL FOR SCIENCE
AND TECHNOLOGY OR CCSD.
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE US
SENATOR DODD'S OFFICE
WE'LL BE HAVING A BRIEFING HERE
AT THE CAPITOL ON AB SEVENTEEN
FIFTY FIVE IMPLEMENTATION.
THANK YOU.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH
THIS PROPOSAL ART LET'S OPEN UP
PUBLIC HEARING THIS IS ISSUE
NUMBER TWENTY FIVE OPEN AND
TRANSPARENT WATER. DATA ACT.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING TO STAFF
RECOMMENDATIONS WE HOLD THIS
OPEN.
SEEING NO QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
.
FEAR RESOURCE.
BOARD.
I LIKE TO CALL YOU UP WE HAVE.
TIME.
ISSUE NUMBER TWENTY SIX WHICH IS
THE AGRICULTURAL DIESEL ENGINE
REPLACEMENT UPGRADES.
HE JUST HAD TO.
ENERGY COMMISSION HERE ON.
UPGRADES.
GOOD AFTERNOON THAT AFTERNOON MY
NAME IS EDIE CHIANG A DEPUTY
EXECUTIVE OFFICER WITH THE
CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD
SO I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT ISSUE
NUMBER TWENTY SIX.
OR FORMER PROGRAM ADMISSIONS
FROM AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT ARE
SIGNIFICANT SOURCE OF AIR
POLLUTION IN THE AGRICULTURAL
REGIONS OF OUR STATE. PRODUCING
THESE EMISSIONS AS NECESSARY TO
MEET HEALTH BASED AIR QUALITY
STANDARDS AND OUR STATE
GREENHOUSE GAS GOALS. AND WE'VE
ADOPTED STANDARDS SO THAT THE
NEW ENGINES YOU BUY A NEW PIECE
OF AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT YOU
GET A REALLY CLEAN ENGINE IN
THAT NEW PIECE OF EQUIPMENT.
BUT MOST AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT
IS OPERATED FOR DECADES ON AN
AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY IS SUBJECT
TO VOLATILITY. UNPREDICTABLE
WEATHER VARYING COMMODITY PRICES
GLOBAL COMPETITION AND BECAUSE
OF THIS AGRICULTURAL BUSINESSES
ARE OFTEN RELUCTANT TO PURCHASE
NEW EQUIPMENT. UNLESS IT'S
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY ON THIS
MEANS THAT THE NATURAL TURNOVER
OF AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT IS
VERY VERY SLOW. AND QUITE
FRANKLY IT'S TOO SLOW TO MEET
OUR CLEAN AIR NEEDS.
WHAT WE FOUND IS THAT INCENTIVES
HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ENCOURAGED
TURNOVER OF AG QUIPMENT BEFORE
THE END OF THE USEFUL LIFE? A
MANY OF THE PROGRAMS THAT FUND
AGRICULTURAL ENGINES ARE
OVERSUBSCRIBED YEAR AFTER YEAR
HEARTLAND WE DID RECEIVE FUNDING
FOR A PROGRAM TO FOCUS ON
AGRICULTURAL ENGINE REPLACEMENT
WHICH WE CALL THE FARMER
PROGRAM.
ON AND THAT PEOPLE APPROVED
PROGRAM GUIDELINES HE WAS THE
BEST ACRONYM WE'VE EVER MADE HE.
AND IT WOULD BE AND WE APPROVED
PROGRAM GUIDELINES FOR THAT IN
MARCH AND THAT WOULD BE TO
EXPAND THE SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN
FUNDS.
ON PROVIDING ADDITIONAL FUNDS
AND TO USE FOR THE FARMER
PROGRAM WOULD HELP SPEED AIR
QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR
AGRICULTURAL REGIONS AND REDUCE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.
THE HEAD OF THE HUNDRED AND
THIRTY FIVE MILLION LAST YEAR
YOU'RE GETTING READY TO START.
PUTTING IT OUT WHAT IS THE. WHAT
WHAT'S ON THE TABLE WHAT'D THEY
REQUEST THAT YOU HAVE FOR MONEY
HIS BEFORE? AND MY DADDY USED TO
SAY. THAT I'VE GIVEN YOU ANY
MORE MONEY TO USE THAN THE MONEY
THAT I GAVE YOU SO I'M TRYING
TO.
I'M TRYING TO GET THAT WE
HAVEN'T GOT THAT ONE THIRTY FIVE
OUT TO WAR BUT YOU.
INTIMATED THAT RIGHT. THE NEED
IS GREAT SO WE HAVE AND WE HAVE
PROGRAMS THAT HAVE FUNDED
AGRICULTURAL ENGINE REPLACEMENTS
FOR. THEM I WANT TO SAY DECADES
AND THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT
SAID THE CARL MOYER PROGRAM FOR
EXAMPLE HAS PROVIDED
OPPORTUNITIES FOR AGRICULTURAL
ENGINE UPDATES AS WELL I'M FOR
EXAMPLE REPLACING THE DIESEL
ENGINES THAT OPERATE
AGRICULTURAL PUMPS IN THE SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY. SO THERE ARE
PROGRAMS THAT ARE IN PLACE AND
THAT HAVE HANDLED AGRICULTURAL
ENGINES WHAT WE'VE SEEN I'M AT
WE'RE AT THE POINT WHERE
DISTRICTS ON THE AIR DISTRICTS
OF THE ONES THAT ARE ON
IMPLEMENTING THESE PROGRAMS SOME
OF THEM HAVE ALREADY STARTED
TAKING APPLICATIONS. FOR THESE
PROGRAMS AND WE ARE EXPECTING TO
BE OVERSUBSCRIBED THIS YEAR ON
YOU KNOW FOR THE SEVENTEEN
EIGHTEEN FINDS ON THERE ARE AND
I DON'T HAVE THE NUMBERS WITH ME
BUT THERE ARE. THOUSANDS OF OLD
DIESEL ENGINES OUT THERE IN THE
AGRICULTURAL SECTOR AND SO
PROVIDING THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING
THIS YEAR. I'M WILL HELP US
CONTINUE TO MAKE PROGRESS ON
REDUCING ON THE BOWL FEES SMOG
FORMING EMISSIONS AND GREENHOUSE
GAS EMISSIONS FROM THOSE SOURCES
ALLEY ó THIS IS A REQUEST FOR
THIRTY MILLION FROM GENERAL
FUNDS WE GAVE AND. THAT HUNDRED
THIRTY SEVEN THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THIS FISCAL YEARS FROM
EACH YEAR IF YOU HAVE AN
OPINION.
AND THE PROPOSAL WHY I THINK WE
WOULD JUST LIKE TO NOTE THAT OF
THIS THIRTY MILLION GENERAL FUND
ONE TIME APPROPRIATION WOULD BE
IN ADDITION TO A ONE HUNDRED TWO
MILLION THAT'S IN THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSED CAP AND TRADE SPENDING
PLAN FROM JERSEY ARE OFTEN SO.
IT IS PROGRAMS A HIGH PRIORITY
FOR THE LEGISLATURE WE RECOMMEND
LEGISLATURE CONSIDER AYE
ALLOCATING GRF RATHER THAN
GENERAL FUND AND KIND OF LOOK TO
SEE WHETHER OR NOT.
THERE ARE WAYS TO GOING TO
REALLOCATE FUNDS IF IT'S A HIGH
PRIORITY.
THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY LEAVE LESS
MONEY FOR SOME CLIMATE RELATED
PROGRAMS BUT FREE UP SOME
GENERAL FUND MONEY FOR HIVE
LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES SO I'M
GONNA ASK THE SENDER STERN
QUESTION TWO. TO EITHER YOU BOTH
OF YOU IS THAT IS THAT WE'VE GOT
THIS POLLUTING DIESEL HARVESTING
EQUIPMENT AND. WHATEVER THE
WHATEVER THEIR USE IN
AGRICULTURE HE PUT THIS MONEY
OUT WHAT TYPE OF NUMBERS THAT WE
NEED TO GET. TO IN THE REDUCTION
OF CARBON WHAT'S THE CARBON.
THAT BENEFIT THAT WE'RE GONNA
RECEIVE FROM THIS.
BUT DID IT WITH THIS LARGE
INVESTMENT.
I ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE THOSE
NUMBERS WITH ME BUT AND I DON'T
KNOW IF WE HAVE ESTIMATES
BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T SELECTED THE
PROJECTS YET. BOMBS SO I DON'T
KNOW IF WE HAVE THOSE NUMBERS
AVAILABLE AT THIS POINT BECAUSE
THE PROJECTS HAVEN'T BEEN
SELECTED WITH THE SEVENTEEN
EIGHTEEN FUNDS WE MIGHT HAVE
SOME HISTORICAL DATA FOR WHAT
WE'VE HAD FROM PREVIOUS
AGRICULTURAL ENGINE PROJECTS
THAT WE COULD PROVIDE.
SO WE ASK THE ADMINISTRATION FOR
THAT INFORMATION AND WE DIDN'T
GET ANY ESTIMATES FOR GHG
REDUCTIONS OVER THE DEAD
PROVIDES INVESTMENTS FOR KNOX
AND PM SOME OF THE LOCAL AIR
POLLUTANTS.
WE CAN PROVIDE I DON'T HAVE
BEEN KIND OF OFF HAND I THINK IT
WAS.
MIA TWENTY THE.
TONS OF P. AND THEN NEAR REAL
FOUR HUNDRED MILLION OR FOUR
HUNDRED.
CLUB KNOCKS OR FOR THE A FOUR
HUNDRED KNOX AND ON ANNUAL BASIS
BUT I AM GONNA CLEAR FOR THOSE
NUMBERS AND GIVE THOSE TO YOU
BUT THEY'RE NOT YET SHE NUMBERS
ICKY SURE OFFICE HAS HAS.
HAVE BEEN GUIDED US THROUGH THE
USE OF HIGH A. B. THIRTY TO
FUND SHOULD BE FOR RIDDIMS
REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS AND AND WERE WERE YOU
SEEN GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS WE
HAD SOME.
GENERAL FUND MONEY HERE BUT WE
DO A LOT OF IT TWO HUNDRED
SEVENTY MILLION TO UPGRADE.
OCCASIONALLY USE AGRICULTURAL
EQUIPMENT. BECAUSE IT IS VERY
HIGH POLLUTING WHEN IT IS USE IP
I GET THAT NAME. I KNOW A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT FARMING ON A YOUTH THE
HARVESTING EQUIPMENT HAS TO BE
USED DURING THE HRVEST RIGHT
ABOUT THAT I GOT THAT FAR SO I
REALIZE THAT IT'S LIMITED.
BUT IT JUST NEEDS.
A BETTER FEELING ABOUT IT THIS
IS A HIGH PRIORITY.
OF SPEAK FUNDS WORD OF THE
NUMBERS WHAT IT WHAT'S WHAT'S IT
GOING TO MEAN. PROBLEM.
ALRIGHT LET'S OPEN UP FOR PUBLIC
HEARING WE HAVE SOME
AGRICULTURAL TYPES THAT WANTED A
TALK ABOUT THE DIESEL ENGINE
REPLACEMENT AND UPGRADE.
NO WELL CREAMERS OF THE
CALIFORNIA FARM BUREAU
FEDERATION AND AGRICULTURAL
TYPE.
I ONE THINK THE ADMINISTRATION
FOR PUTTING FORWARD.
THIS PROPOSAL. WE KNOW THAT THE
CARL MEYER PROGRAM HAS BEEN
OVERSUBSCRIBED
WE EXPECT THE FARMER PROGRAM
WHICH WE THINK IT IS ALSO A A
WONDERFUL ACRONYM. I'VE.
TO BE EQUALLY OVERSUBSCRIBED I
GET DALY UP PHONE CALLS AND
EMAILS FROM MY MEMBERS ASKING
HOW TO APPLY. AN AIR DISTRICTS
HAVE ALREADY STARTED ACCEPTING
APPLICATIONS AND I'M WE REALLY
APPRECIATE AIR BEES MOVEMENT ON
GETTING THE MONEY OUT THE DOOR
QUICKLY BY ADOPTING THE
GUIDELINES. UNFORTUNATELY
BECAUSE IT'S STILL EARLY IN THE
PROCESS WE DON'T HAVE A CLEAR
PICTURE OF EXACTLY HOW OVER
SYSTEM
SUBSCRIBE IT WILL BE. BUT THESE
ADDITIONAL FUNDS WILL BE VERY
HELPFUL IN ASSISTING FARMERS WHO
USE THE THIS EQUIPMENT ON A
LIMITED BASIS TO UPGRADE THAT
EQUIPMENT AND. AND REAP AIR
QUALITY BENEFITS AND GREENHOUSE
GAS EMISSION BENEFITS SO THAT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE
THAT WE ARE WILL GET CRITERIA
POLLUTANT REDUCTIONS NOT JUST
GREENHOUSE GAS. EMISSION
REDUCTIONS AND THIS WILL BE VERY
BENEFICIAL FOR AGRICULTURE TO
HELP BRING A NEW UPGRADED
EQUIPMENT INTO THE IM COMMUNITY
THINK.
NEXT.
AFTER YOU TURN MEMBERS TRICIA
GERINGER WITH AGRICULTURAL
COUNCIL CALIFORNIA RIVER PLAN
OVER FIFTEEN THOUSAND FARMERS
FROM THROUGHOUT THE STATE ALSO
VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT ECHOING.
AND THE COMMENTS OF MY COLLEAGUE
FROM THE FARM BUREAU AND ALSO
WANT TO ADD ON DIETS THESE FUNDS
I'M PRIMARILY AS YOU CAN SEE I
AM IN THE BUDGET. ARE GOING INTO
THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY WHICH IS
INCREDIBLY DISADVANTAGED AND
ALSO UNDER FEDERAL AIR STANDARDS
IN EXTREME NINE EIGHTEEN MINUTES
THAT THEY HAVE SEVERE ISSUES AND
MOSCOW'S. AND TO ADDRESS SOME OF
THOSE ISSUES HELP IMPROVE AIR
AND PUBLIC HEALTH AS WELL SO WE
VERY MUCH SUPPORT IT THINK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
BIRDS OF THE COMMISSION.
COMMITTEE SECULAR KNOWLEDGE HE
DID ON BEHALF OF WESTERN ART
PROCESSORS ASSOCIATION
CALIFORNIA KIND GENEROUS AND
GROWERS ASSOCIATION CALIFORNIA
TOMATO GROWERS ASSOCIATION. AND
VARIOUS OTHER AG ORGANIZATIONS
ARE HOMELESS TODAY IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF THIS ITEM AS MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID. THESE
DIESEL ENGINES REALLY NEED TO BE
UPGRADED.
IN THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY WERE
ALSO KIND OF LOOKING AT A
MANDATORY TRACTOR RULES SO
THEY'RE UNDER THE GUN A LITTLE
BIT THERE. AND THESE ARE
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES THEIR
TRACTORS THAT DIED.
ARE VERY VERY EXPENSIVE
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE GETTING
INTO THOSE TIER FOUR TRACTORS
THE HIGHEST LEVEL. IN SO MANY OF
THE SMALLER AND MEDIUM FARMERS
EVEN LARGE FARMERS ARE LOOKING
THIS AT THIS IS A BUSINESS
DECISION AND UPGRADING TO THESE
VERY EXPENSIVE TRACTORS IF THEY
CAN EVEN DO IT SINCE ARE NOT
USING THE TRACTORS. YOUR ROUNDS
THEY HAVE A LONGER USEFUL LIFE
BECAUSE OF HOT YOU KNOW DE
LIMITED QUANTITIES THAT THERE
USED TO AND.
I'M ALSO JUST ACCORDING TO THE
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AIR POLLUTION
CONTROL DISTRICTS WEBSITE. I'M
USING SOME OF THE CARL MOYER
FRIENDS AT THEY'VE HAD THEY'VE
REPLACED ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND TWO
HUNDRED TRACTORS AND NOT
REDUCED.
TWENTY NINE THOUSAND TONS OF
KNOX'S SO THESE PROGRAMS ARE A
HUGE BENEFIT.
CAN.
REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT AND A LOT
OF THESE DIESEL EMISSIONS AS
WELL YOU GET IT TWO FOR ONE
BECAUSE YOU'RE REDUCING CRITERIA
POLLUTANTS AT THE SAME TIME. AND
SO WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO SUPPORT
THIS FUNDING AND AS WAS STATED.
WE ANTICIPATE THAT I WITH THIS
FARMER PROGRAM THEY'RE GOING TO
BE SO MANY APPLICATIONS COMING
IN. THE ALLOCATIONS FROM LAST
YEAR WILL BE USED UP VERY
QUICKLY AND THESE FUNDS ARE
GOING TO BE REALLY NEEDED. THINK
THANK YOU FOR IT WAS CLOSE
PUBLIC HEARING. CLEAR FIVE FOR
ME IS THIS A SWITCH OUT OF THE
IN CHEN OR IS THIS SORT OF A ADD
SOME.
SOME CLEANER.
SO THAT THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT
WORD IT DEPENDS ON IT DEPENDS ON
THE PROJECT
SO IT DEPENDS ON THE INDIVIDUAL
PROJECT IN AND WHAT.
THE GROWER WANTS TO DO SO IN
SOME CASES IT MIGHT BE SWAPPING
OUT AN ENGINE. IN SOME CASES IN
AND SOME OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT
YOU USE IN THE AGRICULTURAL
SECTOR IS VERY VERY SPECIALIZED
EQUIPMENT THAT MIGHT BE BUILT
FOR JUST A CERTAIN CROP.
AND SO IT MIGHT BE SWITCHING OUT
AN ENGINE IN SOME CASES YOU
CAN'T SWITCH OUT THE ENGINE ON
THE OLDER ENGINES IT THEIR
ENGINES THAT HAVE NO CONTROLS AT
ALL ON THEM LIKE THAT WE CALLED
UNTIL ZERO ENGINES THESE ARE
DECADES AND DECADES OLD. YOU
ACTUALLY CAN'T JUST TAKE OUT
THAT ENGINE AND PUT IN ON AND
THE NEWEST CLEANEST ENGINE
BECAUSE THE NEWER CLEANER
ENGINES HAVE. BOTTOM.
THEY'RE BIGGER THEY HAVE MORE
BELLS AND WHISTLES BECAUSE THEY
HAVE MORE EMISSION CONTROLS ON
THEM THEY MIGHT HAVE COOLING
REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU CAN'T A
COMMENTATOR IT MESSES UP YOUR
SIGHT LINES OR SOMETHING. SO IT
REALLY DOES DEPEND ON ON THE
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT AND ON AND
SORT OF WHAT'S GOING TO WORK
BEST IN THAT APPLICATION THE
ONES THAT CAN BE RETIRED THEM
ONCE A CAN BE PULLED OUT
REPLACE.
THERE. DID NOT.
WE USED ARE DONE.
I THINK IN THIS PROGRAM THERE'S
THEIR SCRAPPED YEAH.
OKAY.
QUESTIONS COLLEAGUES WILL GET A
HOLD THIS.
ADAM.
THANK YOU I LEARNED A COUPLE
THINGS.
LET'S MOVE OVER TO THE.
ADVANCE PAYMENTS ON THE TRAILER
BILL LANGUAGE WHATEVER THAT
MEANS IS ISSUE NUMBER TWENTY
SEVEN ALRIGHT IF YOU KNOW ME
NUMBER TWENTY SEVEN LET ME
EXPLAIN WHAT THIS MEANS. ON IT
LAST YEAR'S BUDGET ACT
AUTHORIZED AIR RESOURCES BOARD
TO MAKE ADVANCE PAYMENTS UNDER
CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES AND WHAT
THIS PROPOSED TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE IN FRONT OF THE
COMMITTEE WOULD DO IS AUTHOR
RACE CAR. TO MAKE ADVANCE
PAYMENTS ON A PERMANENT BASIS
SO ALL OF THE CONDITIONS THAT
EXISTED LAST YEAR THAT MADE
ADVANCE PAIN NECESSARY STILL
EXISTS TODAY. ON OUR GRANTEES
OFTEN NEED ACCESS TO CAPITAL TO
TAKE THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM UNDER ON OUR NEW AB SIX
ONE SEVEN A. ON CLEAN AIR FOR TO
MEET AT THE CLEAN TING I'M SORRY
I'M LIKE TOTALLY BOTTON BUNGLING
THE NAME. AND THE.
WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE STAFF
THE SIX ONE SEVEN PROGRAM SO
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM IS A WE HAVE
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS AND A
COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS
CAN APPLY FOR TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE FOR EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAMS. FOR OUTREACH PROGRAMS
AND ALSO FOR WHAT I WOULD CALL
CLICK CITIZEN SCIENCE PROGRAMS
TO DO YOU COMMUNITY BASED
MONITORING FOR EXAMPLE. I'M SO
THESE ARE ALL GRANTS THAT ARE
GOING TO NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
SOME OF THEM ARE QUITE SMALL
ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE OUT
REACHES THEIR EDUCATIONAL
GRANTS.
AND THESE ARE ORGANIZATIONS THAT
DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO BE
ABLE TO FRONT THE CAPITAL FOR
EXAMPLE TO HIRE STAFF.
WHERE TO PURCHASE THE EQUIPMENT
AND SO WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO
PROVIDE THEM WITH ADVANCE
PAYMENT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO
TAKE ON THESE PROJECTS? ON ONE
OF THE OTHER EXAMPLES ON THAT
COMES TO MIND IS SMALL AIR
DISTRICTS ON AS I MENTIONED
PREVIOUSLY IN THE FARMER
DISCUSSION. THERE DISTRICTS
IMPLEMENT MANY OF OUR PROGRAMS
AND SOME OF THE SMALLER AIR
DISTRICTS DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY
TO FRONTS THE COST TO SO. IF YOU
HAVE A SMALL AIR DISTRICT THAT'S
RUNNING A CLEAN SCHOOL BUS
PROGRAM FOR EXAMPLE. IF THEY
DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO AND
HAVE THE FUNDS FROM AIR
RESOURCES BOARD ON YOU KNOW IT
THESE ARE THESE ARE AND
SOMETIMES ORGANIZATIONS THAT THE
COST OF THE PROJECT IS A
SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF THEIR.
ANNUAL BUDGET SO THEY DON'T HAVE
THE ABILITY TO TAKE ON THESE
PROJECTS TO BE ABLE TO.
I AM TO DO THOSE COUPLE OF THE
SCHOOL BUS REPLACEMENT WITHOUT
THAT ADVANCE PAY FROM THE AIR
RESOURCES BOARD. ON HAVING
SPECIFIC STATUTORY AUTHORITY
WOULD RELIEVE ANY CONFUSION AND
ARE ARE ALL ABOUT ABOUT OUR
ABILITY TO PAY IN ADVANCE ON THE
PROPOSED STATUTORY LANGUAGE
INCLUDE SAFEGUARDS TO ENSURE
THAT ADVANCE PAYS ONLY PROVIDED
TO GRANTEES IN GOOD FINANCIAL
STANDING. THAT PROJECTS ARE
GONNA BE SUCCESSFULLY DELIVERED
AND IF THE GRANTEE DOESN'T
PERFORM THAT WE CAN RECOVER THE
UNSPENT FUNDS ON THEIR ALL THEIR
ALSO PROGRAMMATIC IN FISCAL
CONSTRAINTS IN THE GRANTS THAT
SAFEGUARD THE TAXPAYERS MONEY.
WITH REGARD TO BOTH THE ADVANCE
PAYMENT AND THE SUCCESSFUL
DELIVERY OF THE PROJECT.
BELIAU.
NO CONCERNS IT'S OPEN UP PUBLIC
HEARING.
LET'S CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
SENATOR MCGUIRE.
HE KNOW QUESTIONS A COMMENT I
EXISTS IT IS YOU BRING UP THAT
SCHOOL BUS REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
JUST WANNA SAY THANK YOU TO. OUR
AIR RESOURCE BOARD I PREDICT IN
THE RULES SIDE BECAUSE
I URBAN SUBURBAN. I HAVE HAD
THOSE PROGRAMS ANDERSON THEY GOT
A HAIR CUT DURING THE BUDGET
CUT.
UP DRING THE BUDGET DEFICIT
DAYS BY REENSEEING THEIR
PROGRAM IS A WILDLY POPULAR AYE
IN HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO BE
ABLE TO GET THE MONEY INTO THE
HANDS OF THOSE DISTRICTS AND
ESPECIALLY SMALLER. OUR AIR
DISTRICTS OF WHO ARE
ADMINISTERING THE PROGRAM STATES

MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS I'M SCOTT

DEPARTMENT OF RESOURCES

JOIN TODAY.
BY CAN ROSA CHIEF DEPUTY
DIRECTOR AT AND I CAN RECYCLE.
I HAVE A FEW.
PREPARED CLINTON TO BE HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU
HAVE.
CONSISTENT WITH THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA EMERGENCY PLAN AND
PREVIOUS ASSISTANCE THE
DEPARTMENT OF RESOURCES
RECYCLING RECOVERY REQUEST SIX
PERMANENT. FULL TIME POSITIONS.
AUTHORITY TO CONTRACT WITH THE
SUPPORT CONSULTANT AND ONE POINT
TWO FIVE MILLION INTEGRATED
WASTE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT.
TO EFFECTIVELY RESPOND TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENT REQUESTS FOR
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.
WHEN DEVELOPING DISASTER
RECOVERY PLANS AND TO FORMALLY
ESTABLISH A TEAM WITH STAFF AND
SUPPORT CONSULTANT TO MOBILIZE
AND SUPPORT COVER CYCLES
RESPONSE.
TO EMERGENCY DECLARATION MISSION
TASKING PER STATE OPERATED
DISASTER DEBRIS REMOVAL
PROGRAMS.
CALIFORNIA EXPERIENCES A WIDE
ARRAY OF DISASTERS THAT CREATES
SIGNIFICANT QUANTITIES OF DEBRIS
THAT MUST BE REMOVED. PROPERLY
RECYCLED OR DISPOSED AS
EXPEDITIOUSLY AS POSSIBLE.
THE POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD
TOXIC EXPOSURES AND LASTING
THREATS TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND
SAFETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT IS
POSED BY THE DEBRIS LEFT IN THE
AFTERMATH OF MAJOR DISASTERS.
DEBRIS MANAGEMENT IS COMPLICATED
AND CHALLENGING FOR LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS AND FOR STATE
AGENCIES.
THAT ARE ALREADY AFFECTED BY A
DISASTER BECAUSE OF THE NEED FOR
ADEQUATE AVAILABLE AND TIMELY
RESOURCES AND PERSONNEL. WHO CAN
CONDUCT CRITICAL ACTIVITIES?
IN RESPONSE TO A GOVERNOR'S
DECLARE STATE EMERGENCY. AND
ASSISTANCE REQUEST FROM A LOCAL
GOVERNMENT THE CALIFORNIA OFFICE
OF EMERGENCY SERVICES HAVE
REGULARLY TASKS CAO RECYCLE TO
SUPPORT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THE
MANAGEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION.
OF DEBRIS REMOVAL EFFORTS.
THE RECENT INCREASE AND
FREQUENCY AND SEVERITY OF
WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA RESULTED
IN COVER CYCLE BEING TASKED YEAR
OVER YEAR SINCE TWO THOUSAND
FOURTEEN TO DELIVER DEBRIS
REMOVAL OPERATIONS IN THE FIELD.
THE RESULTANT REDIRECTION OF
STAFF HAS HINDERED OUR ABILITY
TO PERFORM SOME OF OUR
STATUTORILY MANDATED
OBLIGATIONS.
WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE A
NUMBER OF APPROPRIATELY
QUALIFIED AND TRAINED
INDIVIDUALS A COUNTER CYCLE WHO
HAD BEEN WILLING AND ABLE TO
REPEATEDLY STAFF.
THE NECESSARY OPERATIONS BUT
THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE.
THIS PROPOSAL FORMALLY
ESTABLISHES AN APPROPRIATE TEAM
TO ENSURE THAT WHEN TASK WE CAN
CONTINUE TO CONSISTENTLY DELIVER
SAFE AND EFFECTIVE DEBRIS
REMOVAL OPERATIONS. AS WELL AS
ASSIST LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN THEIR
INDIVIDUAL EMERGENCY
PREPARATIONS.
THIS PROPOSAL WILL EXPEDITE THE
CLEAN UP PROCESS AND ALLOW
COMMUNITIES TO REBUILD SOONER.
ELLIOT GIVEN. IT OULD A
ACTUALLY INTO THE ANALYST'S
OFFICE AND WE HAVE AND WE DID
RECENTLY RECEIVED A PROPOSAL
STILL WORKIN ANALYZING IT DURING
A STOCK.
ANYTHING MAYBE SOME.
WAS A CURSORY QUESTIONS THAT YOU
MAY WANT* WITH WHAT IMPACT
EXPERTISE POSITIONS TO HAVE
EXAMPLE DURING THE RECENT FIRES
AND WE NEEDED TO CALL AN ARMY
CORPS OF ENGINEERS HAD THESE
POSITIONS WHEN AVAILABLE. OR HOW
THAT CHANGE SORT OF WHAT THE
OPERATIONS LOOK LIKE.
.
BY THE FUNDING SOURCE SOMETIMES
THESE ACTIVITIES WITHIN PAID FOR
WITH GENERAL FUND DURING SOME OF
THE RECENT DISASTERS AND SO ON
THIS IS PROPOSED TO COME FROM
AND RELEASE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT.
BALANCES I MAY BE A QUESTION.
.
I THINK THOSE ARE THEY ARE
INITIAL QUESTION OR CONTINUE
DEBT TO ANALYZE A PROPOSAL
DALLAS FINANCE IT WAS YOU YOU
LOOK AT THE INTEGRATED WASTE
MANAGEMENT ACCOUNT.
BY.
THIS IS JIM.
BILLION LIGHT Y. THAT FIVE.
PART OF.
THE THE DEBRIS REMOVAL
COMPONENT.
.
WE USE THE GENERAL FUND ARE THE
CDA A. POOR DISASTERS. AND I
BELIEVE IT'S BECAUSE OF THE
FEMALE THAT WOULD.
WHICH CAN BE DEPENDING ON THE
MAGNITUDE OF THE EVENT IF THERE
IS FEDERAL ASSISTANCE THAT'S
PROVIDED A FEMALE WILL SUPPORT A
PORTION OF THOSE COSTS. BUT AS
MISS MOORE IS IN THE POINTS OUT
CORRECTLY THE DEBRIS REMOVAL
OPERATIONS THEMSELVES ARE FUNDED
BY THE CALIFORNIA DISASTER
ASSISTANCE ACCOUNT OF THE
INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT
ACCOUNT IS AN APPROPRIATE CHOICE
BECAUSE THESE ARE ONGOING
RESOURCES FOR. THE DEPARTMENT WE
DO NOT HAVE AN APPROPRIATION CD
A A IN ORDER TO TO SUPPORT THESE
SERVICES.
NOR DO WE HAVE AN ONGOING
APPROPRIATION OF OF FEMA MONEY
AND TO DO THAT.
THIS IS THE THE. THE WORKLOAD.
THIS IS TYPICAL OF WHAT OF WHAT.
STAFF DO IT'S IT'S OUR STANDARD
SOURCE FOR SOLID WASTE
MANAGEMENT OF FUNDED ACTIVITIES.
OKAY THAT REQUIRE. THANK YOU SO
MUCH PATENTABLE FOR EVER BE
GRATEFUL TO DIRECTORS TO FIND IN
HIS TEAM UP FOR EVERYTHING THAT
THEY DID A PROCEDURE IN THE
VALLEY OF FIRE OF THE CLEAN
FIRE.
AYE IN WHAT WE JUST WENT THROUGH
WITH THE NORTH A FIRESTORM AND
I'M.
PARASITE BECAUSE OF RELATIVELY
SO IT'S A SMALLER AGENCY AND.
HAS UP WOULD YOU GUYS AT THE
BRINK.
OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS AND
JUST WANT TO SAY HOW GRATEFUL WE
ARE.
WITH THE SIX POSITIONS IT IS
RUNNING INTO UNDERSTANDING OF
WHERE YOU THINK YOUR CAPACITY
WOULD BE.
DO YOU BELIEVE THE SIX POSITIONS
WOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE.
WITHOUT.
SERIOUS STRESS OF THE SERVICE
CAN BE STRESS.
WITH THE REST OF THE AGENCY S.
SIZE OF THE VALLEY OF FIRE
TWELVE HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO HOMES.
I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE THE SIX
INDIVIDUALS WOULD BE ABLE TO
MANAGE A CONTRACT AT ONE POINT
THREE BILLION NOW FOR THE
FIRESTORM AT SIXTY SIX HUNDRED
HOMES.
IT IS FUN TO GET A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT MAGNITUDE
WITHIN THE YOU THINK THESE
THINGS CAN BE ABLE TO HANDLE SO
I I THINK. IT'S A FAIR QUESTION
IT'S IT'S DIFFICULT TO ANSWER I
DO THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY. THAT
GIVEN THE HYPOTHETICAL THAT YOU
POST THE ANSWER I'M COMFORTABLE
SAYING IS NO I THINK THERE WERE
LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF
INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED IN MANAGING
THE EVENT WHAT YOU REFERRED TO.
THIS LOOKS HE SIX HAD IF THEY
KNEW IT CORRECT.
WHAT WE HOPE TO DO IS TO GET
THESE INDIVIDUALS IN PLACE THAT
WILL ALLOW US TO DEVELOP
INTERNAL POLICIES AND
PROCEDURES?
ON A PERMANENT BASIS HERE BUT
PRIMARILY WHAT THAT WILL ALLOW
US TO DO IS TO HIT THE GROUND
RUNNING ONCE WE ARE CASTING EVEN
BEFORE WE ARE FORMALLY TASK TO
BE PREPARING FOR WHAT MAY BE
INVINCIBLE TASKING. HAVING.
DEDICATED STAFF IN PLACE WILL
OBVIOUSLY NOT ONLY TAKE A
SIGNIFICANT LOAD UP THE
DEPARTMENT IN TERMS OF OTHER
WORK BUT IT WILL ALSO ALLOW US
TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING WITH
PEOPLE WHO ARE TRAINED AND
PREPARED FOR THOSE TYPES OF
PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE TYPES OF
FIELD ASSIGNMENTS.
HAVING THE CONSULTANT ON
RETAINER WILL ALLOW US TO COME
IN RIGHT BEHIND THE T. ASEAN BE
BILL TO PERFORM ASSESSMENTS SO
THAT THERE BE NO BREAK BETWEEN
DTS HE'S TOXIC SWEEPING
ASSESSMENTS THAT WE NEED TO DO
BEFORE WE CAN GET DEBRIS REMOVAL
OPERATIONS INITIATED.
AND OBVIOUSLY HAVING THE OTHER
COMPONENT OF THIS THE LOCAL
PLANS IN PLACE COULD REALLY
SIGNIFICANTLY HELP US.
TO THE EXTENT THAT THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ARE MORE PREPARED.
THAT WILL ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE
WORKLOAD AND FACILITATE.
YOU KNOW HOW DIFFICULT
COMMUNICATIONS ARE DURING THOSE
TIMES SO THE MORE PREPARED AT A
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WITH RESPECT
TO PLAN.
MORE EFFECTIVE EVERYBODY CAN BE.
FINANCE SO BASICALLY OUR
APPROACH TO THIS AS PART OF.
THE OVERALL YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN
OUR ANOTHER COMMITTEE I THINK IS
HEARING THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE.
OR AS A PACKAGE BEYOND FOR.
BUT THIS THIS PROPOSAL IS LIKE
ALMOST A TWO PRONGED.
APPROACH SO WE HAVE A TEAM OF.
IT'S GREAT YES SUBJECTMATTER
EXPERTS BASICALLY AND AND IT'S A
VISION THAT THEY BECOME. TRAIN
THE TRAINERS SO THEY CAN
DISPERSE SOME OF THAT KNOWLEDGE
DOWN. AND THEN WHEN THEY'RE NOT
IN THAT RESPONSE MODE AND
DEPLOYED. THEN THEY'LL BE ABLE
TO ALSO GIVE.
THE LOCALS THAT THE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE THAT MAY NEED TO. BE
ABLE TO PREPARE FOR BACK AT THE
GUY I THINK THIS IS GREAT IT'S
SOMETHIN TALK WINTER TRIGGERED
YOU BAD ACTUALLY IN INTRODUCED
TO FIND.
.
SINCE ABOUT A FIRE.
THOUGH THE ONE QUESTION I HAVE
IS.
.
SO OF THE C. NEED INDIVIDUALS
THAT ARE EMBEDDED WITHIN THE
AGENCY TO BE ABLE TO GET THE
DEBRIS OPERATION MOVING. AS
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND IN THE
SECOND UPON IN THE CITIES HAVING
A PRIME CONTRACTOR PRIME
CONTRACTORS THAT ARE PRE
APPROVED IT RUBIO TO COME IN AND
DO THE WORK ON BEHALF OF THE
STATE.
SO IS THE SIDE JUST LIKE WE SAW
WITH THE CORPS.
OF HAVING.
COUPLE PRIME CONTRACTS AND THE
SEASON IS EXAMPLE.
TO BE ABLE TO MOVE WITH THAT
TEAM IN AND THAT YOU ALREADY
HAVE THEM ON THE BOOKS TO BE A
TO GET THE I'M.
THE PARTY STARTED IF YOU WILL.
AND GET THE GET THE CLEAN UP.
INVENTS CAN TALK ABOUT THAT I
THINK IT'S SUPPORT DISTINGUISH
BETWEEN THE TWO MAIN TYPES OF
CONTRACTS THAT WE HAVE WE HAVE
THE CONSULTANTS.
WHO ARE ASSISTING?
THEY'RE DOING ASSESSMENT BEFORE
THE DEBRIS REMOVAL CONTRACTORS
COMMANDER MONITORING HEALTH AND
SAFETY THERE HELPING TRENT I
MANAGE DATA. THAT IS FOR THE
CONTRACT THAT SPECIFICALLY
REFERENCED HERE WITH RESPECT TO
THE DEBRIS REMOVAL CONTRACTORS
THOSE LARGER CONTRACTS WERE
WORKING WITH OH YES AND OTHER.
RELEVANT ENTITIES RIGHT NOW TO
DEVELOP A MASTER SERVICES
AGREEMENT SO THAT WE CAN HAVE
CONTRACTORS PRE APPROVED YET IT
BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S. IT'S
IT'S THE A ONE TWO PUNCH RIGHT
AT BEING ABLE TO HAVE.
THOSE CONTENT PROFESSIONALS
EMBEDDED WITHIN YOUR SHOP.
AND THEN ALSO HAVE BEEN THOSE
CONTRACTORS WHO WERE ALREADY ON
THE BOOKS THAT CAN THE MOVIE IN
WITHOUT SKIPPING A BEAT I JUST I
THINK THIS IS A.
SO NEEDED ADEQUACY PACE IN THE
NEW NORMAL AS A GOVERNOR AND
SAID AND A GRATEFUL FOR BRINGING
THIS FORWARD I IN. I TAKEN A
MUCH DIFFERENT APPROACH RATHER
MEAN REACTIVE BUT BEING
PROACTIVE TO AYE WHAT WE'RE
SEEING UNFORTUNATELY HERE IN
CALIFORNIA SHE YOUR SUPPORT
SENATE YOU PERHAPS THE CHAIR IS
LESS GRATEFUL. WE DID NOT GET
THIS BUDGET CHANGE UNTIL AFTER
THIS AND CAN THEY GOT PUBLISHED
SO WE'RE HERE ITS ALL DANDY THE
INFORMATION WE JUST GOT NOW. BUT
BUT DLE ó DOESN'T HAVE A FILE
ON IT THE MINORITY THIS HAVE
FILE ON IT WE DON'T HAVE A FILE
GREAT TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION.
AT FOUR THIRTY IN THE AFTERNOON
ON WEDNESDAY.
BUT I'M GOING TO ASK YOU FOR
SOME BACKUP INFORMATION BUT WHAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET THE
INFORMATION IT MAY BE THE
GREATEST THING SINCE SLICED
BREAD.
BUT ARE JOB HERE IS TO REVIEW
THESE BUDGET REQUESTS
IN A TIMELY MANNER.
GOOD HOLD IT OPEN.
CENTER NIELSEN.
ON THAT POINT MAYBE BRING IS
SOME INFORMATION ABOUT WILL THIS
RESULT IN A TIPPING FEE
INCREASE.
BUT THERE'S NO RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THIS AND A TIPPING FEE
INCREASE AT NO DIRECT
RELATIONSHIP.
INTEGRATED DOT THAT'S THE.
OKAY I'M.
VERY GOOD BOLTED OPEN.
I WILL DISCUSS. LET'S BRING UP
THE STATE WATER RESOURCE BOARD.
TIME.
WE HAVE ONE MATTER WHAT THEIR
DEPARTMENT.
AND THIS IS A ADMINISTRATIVE.
BLAH JUDGES.
JERICHO Y. KOWSKI AND MEMBERS OF
THE SUBCOMMITTEE I'M BE SORE
YOUR ASSISTANT CHIEF COUNSEL
STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL
BOARD.
IT'S ITEM IS A. BUDGET PROPOSAL
FOR TWO MILLION DOLLARS AND NINE
POSITIONS.
FOREIGN ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS
OFFICE WITHIN THE STATE WATER
RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD. THE.
HEARINGS OFFICE WHO PROVIDE
QUALIFIED AND IMPARTIAL
PROFESSIONAL HEARING OFFICERS
FOR JUKU FOR SCENES INVOLVING
WATER RIGHT MATTERS ESPECIALLY.
ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS.
LAST YEAR THE LEGISLATURE PASSED
EIGHTY THREE THIRTEEN WHICH
WOULD HAVE PROVIDED FOR HEARING
OFFICERS BUT HAD SEVERAL
PROBLEMS AND WAS VETOED BY THE
GOVERNOR. THE GOVERNOR'S VETO
MESSAGE
DIRECTED THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY.
TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE
POTENTIAL FOR USING HEARING
OFFICERS AS PART OF STATE WATER
RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD. WATER
RIGHT HEARINGS THIS PROPOSAL.
AFFECT TO AIDS THAT
RECOMMENDATION.
OF COURSE.
THESE PROPOSALS CANNOT BE THE
ADMINISTRATION'S APPROVAL
PROCESS DOES NOT ALLOW THESE
PROPOSALS TO BE.
RELEASED AND TELL THE
ADMINISTRATION'S APPROVED BUT IN
DEVELOPING THE PROPOSAL THE
CALIFORNIA VIRAL PROTECTION
AINSI. I DISCUSSED THE CONCEPTS
BEHIND IT.
WITH WATER RIGHT ATTORNEYS
REPRESENTING A BROAD SPECTRUM OF
OF INTERESTS AND INCORPORATE THE
RESULTS OF THAT DISCUSSION. INTO
THE PROPOSAL.
AND THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE TO
ESTABLISH THE OFFICE AND SET UP
AFFECTED PROCEEDINGS AND
DEADLINES FOR ACTION.
IT ALSO INCLUDES LANGUAGE I TO
ASSURE THAT THIS CAN BE FUNDED.
A FROM THE GENERAL FROM THIS IT
FOR THE WATER RIGHTS FRONT NOT
FROM THE GENERAL FUND. OF IS AN
ONGOING PROGRAM EXPENDITURE.
MAKING GENERAL FUND
EXPENDITURES.
INAPPROPRIATE THE EXISTING.
WATER RIGHT FEE STRUCTURE.
PROVIDES FOR ANNUAL UPDATES TO
INCORPORATE.
AND PROVIDE FEE REVENUES
CONSISTENT WITH THE AMOUNT
APPROPRIATED FROM. OF THE WATER
RIGHTS FUND BY THE LEGISLATURE
BUT USING THAT EXISTING FEE
SYSTEM WOULD ONLY ALLOW US TO
RECOVER ABOUT SEVENTY PERCENT OF
THE COST OF THIS PROGRAM THAT'S
BECAUSE THE EXISTING FEE
STRUCTURE. CHARGES FEES TO. BOB
A PORTION OF WATER RIGHT HOLDERS
PERMIT AND LICENSE HOLDERS AND
NOT TO THE FULL UNIVERSE OF
WATER RIGHT HOLDERS.
THAT.
WOULD BENEFIT FROM AND IN
COMPOSED THE COSTS OF FOR THIS
PROGRAM SO THIS HAS. A TRAILER
BILL LANGUAGE THAT WOULD ALLOW
US TO BE APPLIED BICU FEES.
FOR THIS ADDITIONAL COST NOT FOR
THE WHOLE PROGRAM BUT FOR THIS
AN ADDITIONAL. A BUDGET
PROPOSAL.
AND THAT MAKES THE CREDITORS
AND TWELVE THOUSAND STEP
HIGHLIGHTED. THAT IS THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW STAFF
TALKS.
ABOUT THE WATER RIGHT FUNDS. IF.
IF THE BALANCE IS EXPECTED TO BE
ONE POINT EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT
MILLION. AND YOU REQUEST TWO
MILLION. THAT IS I GUESS THE
QUESTION IS WHAT HAPPENS WITH
OTHER HUNDRED TWELVE NOW I HEY I
THINK THAT'S.
A LITTLE OFF TARGET THAT OR A
ONE POINT NINE MILLION OR ONE
EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT.
REPRESENTS THE RESERVE CURRENTLY
IN THE WATER RIGHTS FUND FOR
THIS IT'S THE MOUNT A CAKE
HUMILIATED. OR THE NET AFTER
FIFTEEN YEARS OF.
COLLECTING FEES AND SPENDING
FROM THERE THE THE WATER RIGHTS
FUND WE UPDATE THE FEES ANNUALLY
TO RECOVER V..
.
APPROPRIATIONS BUT MADE BY THE
LEGISLATURE FROM THE WATER
RIGHTS FUND WHILE MAINTAINING
THE PRUDENT RESERVE SO THERE'S
AN UNEXPECTED DOWN TERM. WE
DON'T RUN OUT OF MONEY THAT ONE
POINT EIGHTY EIGHT MEN OF.
A MILLION IS IS BASICALLY THE
PRUDENT RESERVE.
AND OF COURSE YOU DON'T FUND A
NEW PROGRAM OUT OF A PRUDENT
RESERVE THE RESERVISTS WOULD BE
A ONE TIME EXPENDITURE. SO
BASICALLY WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT
HUNDRED TWELVE THOUSAND WE'RE
LOOKING AT FEES
TO RECOVER TWO MILLION THE
ONGOING COSTS OF THE PROGRAM.
ANNUALLY NOT JUST ONCE ANNULUS
OF THE. BILL THE RESERVE IT IS
NOT REALLY RELEVANT TO THIS
PROPOSAL EXCEPT IN ONE MATTER WE
DON'T HAVE TO SETTHE FEES ON
THE HIGH SIDE.
TO ACCOUNT FOR.
POTENTIAL LOWER THAN EXPECTED
REVENUES BECAUSE THAT RESERVES
MEANS THAT IF THE FIRST YEAR THE
REVENUES COMING IN LOW IT'S NOT
A PROBLEM IT RUNS DOWN THE
RESERVE AND WE CAN BUILD IT BACK
UP.
LATER BUT OTHERWISE THE RESERVE
IS NOT AN ISSUE SO THAT THAT'S
NOT THE ISSUE THE ISSUES WE
NEED.
A FEE SYSTEM THAT COVER COVER
THE ENTIRE TWO MILLION IF WE
DON'T HAVE TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE
WE CAN ONLY RECOVER ABOUT
SEVENTY PERCENT OF THAT.
THROUGH THE CURRENT FEE
STRUCTURE.
HAD KALLIO DIS. AB THREE ONE
THREE WAS BEFORE THE. FINAL CALL
THE COMMITTEE LAST YEAR WHICH I
JUST HAPPEN TO CHAIR.
SO THE LEGISLATURE HAD AN IDEA
GOVERNOR VETOES IT*
BUT. THE EPA DIRECTOR WHO'S A
LAWYER OF WHAT HE THINKS OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE THEY
COME UP WITH A NEW PROPOSAL AND.
IT'S MAY SIXTEENTH IN THIS
BEFORE US WHAT DO YOU HAVE.
WE HAVE VERY ME WITHIN THIS THIS
PROPOSAL PROVIDES IT A DIFFERENT
STRUCTURE HERE STRUCTURE FOR
HEARING WATER RIGHTS IN AB TWO
THROUGH TRYING. AND ESTABLISHES
NEW PROGRAM WHEN WHICH
LEGISLATURE RECENTLY DEBATED AS
YOU POINTED OUT IN THE IN THE
POLICY PROCESS AND SO WE THINK
THE SUBCOMMITTEE MAY WANT TO
CONSIDER WHETHER THIS PROPOSAL.
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED THE POLICY
COMMITTEE.
CENTER NIELSEN. AGAIN HERE WE GO
AGAIN MISTER CHAIRMAN.
ABUSE.
OF THE TRAILER BILL PROCESS
ABUSE OF THE LEGISLATURE.
THE BEAST OF THE BUDGET.
MAJOR POLICY.
SO NOW WE SLIP IT IN AT THE LAST
MOMENT. I'M INFORMED THAT WE'VE
ONLY HAD THIS ABOUT A MONTH
COUNSEL WHAT WHAT'S THE DEAL.
THE MAJOR ISSUE HERE WHO'S THE
FINANCING OF THE PROGRAM OKAY
BUT THAT DOESN'T GIVE YOU A NEW
TWIST USED FOR VIOLATING OUR
PROCEDURES HERE.
OR SNEAKING SOMETHING IN AT THE
LAST MINUTE.
AND YOU DIDN'T GET YOUR
AUTHORITY LAST YEAR SO NOW WE'RE
GONNA COME AT THE TAIL END.
WHAT WHAT IS YOUR STATURE THOR
YOU GONNA POST OF PEAS ON PEOPLE
ARE NOW EXEMPT ARE YOU NOT?
THE RAFI BASE WILL BE BROUGHT
AND THAT'S WHAT BUT ON PEOPLE
WHO ARE NOW EXEMPT DO NOT HAVE
TO PAY THE FEE.
THAT'S CORRECT OKAY DON'T YOU
NEED TO STATUTES.
THAT THAT'S WHY THE PROPOSAL
INCLUDES THAT'S MY POINT THAT'S
A MAJOR POLICY HUGE POLICY.
THAT I WANT TO PUT ON THE RECORD
I DEBT TO THAT.
AND I HOPE THAT PROVIDES LEGAL
FOUNDATION FOR A LAWSUIT IF YOU
DO THIS.
THE.
WHO? PRACTICE HAS BEEN NGUYEN
WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN THAT
DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE
COUNCIL PRACTICE HAS BEEN IS NOT
LAW.
THE WARM WATER RIGHT PROGRAM TO
DEAL WITH CANNABIS TO DEAL WITH
GROUNDWATER. DATA THE FEES WERE
EXPANDED TO COVER THAT EXPANDED
PROGRAM THAT'S WHAT'S BEING DONE
HERE.
I TO SIT.
ALRIGHT LET'S OPEN UP TO PUBLIC
HEARINGS OTHER MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC THAT HAVE AN OPINION ON
I'M.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS
OFFICE WITHIN.
PART OF WATER RESOURCES.
SENATORS.
I'M ROBERT GORE FROM THE
QUALCOMM GROUP ON BEHALF OF THE
KINGS RIVER WATER AUTHORITY ONE
OF THE STATE'S LARGEST ALL
PRIVATE WATER RIGHT HOLDERS.
THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
WINE GRAPE GROWERS A VERY
FORWARD LOOKING GROUP OF OF
FARMERS AND ALSO THE KERN COUNTY
WATER AGENCY. I'M ALSO
PRIVILEGED TO HAVE UP LED THEM
WATER BOARDS FEE STAKEHOLDERS
GROUP FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS.
LIKE TO OPEN UP BY SAYING THE
STAKEHOLDERS HAVE IN NO WAY BEEN
CONSULTED IN THIS MATTER. WE HAD
NO ADVANCED WARNING UNTIL A
FRIDAY AT FIVE PM.
WATER THE WATER RIGHTS FUND IS
NOT A FACELESS NAMELESS GROUP OF
WEALTHY INDIVIDUALS THEY ARE
PREDOMINANTLY AYE IRRIGATION
DISTRICTS.
AND OF THIS I INCREASE AND BY
THE WAY I ASK FOR AN ESTIMATE I
HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED WITH THE
IMPACT ON THE FUND WILL BE.
SO THIS IS THIS IS FROM THE GET
GO OR HARDSHIP. IT IS BEST OFF I
BELIEVE.
LA IT HANDLED AS YOU'VE
INFERRED IN A IN A POLICY
COMMITTEE AS ELIOT WAS SET. UP
THERE'S A NUMBER OF OF SERIOUS
MATTERS THAT.
OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE
HEARINGS. IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
THERE'S A NUMBER OF.
FUNDING SOURCES THAT COULD BE
EXPLORED. THE CALIFORNIA WATER
CODE BECAUSE OF SIGMA HAS HAS
SEVERAL SECTIONS IN OUR IN OUR
LETTER.
DID ENTITLED GSA'S TOGETHER
WATER RATES FEES ALSO AS WE'VE
EMPHASIZED OF THE STAKEHOLDERS
FROM THE VERY BEGINNING CANNABIS
MATTERS ARE TO BE FUNDED HOLY BY
CANNABIS RELATED GROWERS. OF IN
WE'D NEED THAT REASSURANCE AGAIN
BUT ISN'T THIS IN YOUR YOUR
GROUP I MEAN THE RECENT GRAY
BROUGHT THIS LEGISLATION FORWARD
SLASH YOUR WAS THEY FELT THAT
THEY WEREN'T GETTING AN
INDEPENDENT REVIEW THEY HAD THE
WATER FOR JUST MAKING THE
DECISION AND THEY'RE ACTING LIKE
A PALLET SO. NORMALLY THERE BUT
THEY'RE THE ONES WHO WE COULD DO
NOTHING. WE GOT THE CURRENT
SYSTEM.
THAT'S NOT THAT WAS NOT THE
ANSWER I MEAN I'M NOT THAT I'M.
LOW'S PROCESS NOT WITHSTANDING
FUNDAMENTALLY IT WAS YOU WERE
CLIENTS WHO SAID WE'RE NOT
GETTING AT INDEPENDENT REVIEW
OF.
OF OF THE DECISIONS AND THEY
WERE WYO SOMEBODY'S GOT TO PAY
MORE AND THIS IS A FISCAL
COMMITTEE BUT THE FUNDAMENTAL
MOTIVATION WAS THAT WE WANT IT
NOW WE WE MERGE THINGS HERE FOR
SOME REASON.
IN MAY THE SAID WE ONE AT THAT
INDEPENDENT.
JUDICIARY JUDICIAL LIKE OUR
REVIEW.
AND IT'S IT'S A FINE IDEA AND
IT'S WORTH AN IN DEPTH
EXAMINATION IN A POLICY
COMMITTEE FUNDING IS COMPLICATED
WATER RIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY
COMPLICATED THERE'S A NUMBER OF
POSSIBLE FUNDING SOURCES. IN
FACT ONE MIGHT EVEN SAY THAT ARE
THE WATER RIGHTS FUND MAY BE AN
ETHICAL PROBLEM TO FUND A WATER
RIGHTS HEARING. OF THEM SO IT
AGAIN IT'S IT'S IT'S WORTH OUR
CONVERSATIONS BY EVERYBODY
INVOLVED IT'S IT IT'S
NOTHING WE CAN PUSH THROUGH THE
ELEVEN POINT FIVE HOUR RIGHT I
MEAN NOT WITHSTANDING. THOUGH
LAST MINUTE THE IDEA IS THAT
YOU'RE ALL USERS YOU ALL PAY A
FEE RIGHT BENEFIT FROM THE
SYSTEM THE SYSTEM SAYS THAT IF
YOU HAVE A DISPUTE WITH THAT
WATER RESOURCES BOARD YOU GET TO
GO INTO THE CRACK THAT HAVE THE.
ALJ DEAL WITH THAT SO AT LEAST
ALTHOUGH THE TECHNIQUE MAY NOT
BE WHAT WE AGREE WITH AT LEAST
FUNDAMENTALLY THERE'S THAT
INDEPENDENCE WHICH WAS THE
BOTTOM LINE OF THIS THIS WHOLE.
DISCUSSION BUT IF IT IS OKAY THE
FATE GOOD IDEA I WILL REVIEW THE
LETTER. THAT AFFECT THANK YOU
AND CAN ONE OTHER POINT. OF THIS
COMMITTEE ON THE LEGISLATURE IN
TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN SEVENTEEN
APPROVED.
A PCP FOR THE WATER BOARD TO
DEAL WITH WATER RIGHTS PERMITS
BACKLOG. AND IT WAS A THREE
HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE PERMITS
OR A FOURTEEN YEAR BACKLOG THREE
HUNDRED FOUR REGISTRATIONS ARE A
NINE YEAR BACKLOG FIVE HUNDRED
AND SEVENTY EIGHT PETITIONS AND
EIGHT YEAR BACKLOG.
FIFTEEN HUNDRED PLUS LICENSES AT
FORTY FOUR YEAR BACKLOG WE HAVE
REPEATEDLY REQUESTED FOR AN
UPDATE ON THAT SERVICE WE HAVE
PAID FOR WE HAVE YET TO RECEIVE
IT SO I WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS A
BACKLOG BEEN RAISED BEFORE. AND
WE'VE ASKING IT'S EVER BEEN
ANSWERED WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED
WITH THE FEES THAT BEEN PAID.
THANK YOU THANK YOU NEXT.
SO I'M DEAL WITHOUT WESTERN
GROWERS AND JUST TO ADD TO MY
COLLEAGUE'S COMMENTS YOU ARE
RIGHT WE DID SUPPORT A. B. THREE
ONE THREE.
ADAM GRAY SPELL LAST YEAR
BECAUSE WE DEFINITELY THINK THAT
AN INDEPENDENT.
BOARD OF SOME KIND NEEDS TO
LOOK AT THESE.
ALLEGATIONS OF WATER RIGHTS
VIOLATIONS.
THIS.
PROPOSAL THAT LEASE FOR THE ORG
CHART THAT I SAW IN THE B. C.
P..
REALLY. DOESN'T GET US THERE.
I TALKED WITH.
THE STAFF IN ADAM'S OFFICE AND.
THIS WAS THE FIRST THEY SAW ON
IT ACTUALLY MONDAY.
AND AND. IT DOESN'T COMPLY WITH
WHAT THEY WEAR UP ENVISIONING.
.
IN THE GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE
SO.
WELL I MEAN HE DID THE GOVERNOR
VETOES MESSAGE SAYS.
MATT RODRIGUEZ RIGHT LOOK AT
THIS ADMINISTRATIVE LAW.
SCHEME WATER SYSTEM AND SEE IF
THAT IS IN THIS IS THE
ARCHITECTURE OF A ON THE PALLET
BODY. AND EVIDENTLY. ATTORNEY
RODRIGUEZ SAYS SAID YES SO NOW
HE NINE OUT OF SHARED THAT WITH
ASSEMBLY MEMBER GRAY OR ANYBODY
ON THIS ON THIS BUT BUT BUT I
DON'T REFUSED. I DON'T. DISAGREE
THAT HE DID HE CAME TO THAT
CONCLUSION THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN
PRESENTED. TIMING NOT
WITHSTANDING.
NINE POSITIONS ADMINISTRATIVE
LAW JUDGES TWO MILLION DOLLARS
HERE ON OTHER THAN THE PACKAGING
I GET THE PAST YOU KNOW THE
SYSTEM BUT THAT DOESN'T.
WELL.
YOU OPPOSE IT THAT'S A GOOD AS
WELL AS JUST THE PROCESS TO
ANOTHER SCHOOL LOT DIFFERENT
THAN WHAT WE HAVE TODAY THAT'S
THE WHOLE DEAL. YOU KNOW THE
STATE WATER BOARD IS STILL THE
POLICEMAN HE STILL THE
PROSECUTOR AND HE'S BEEN THERE
STILL THE JUDGE JURY AND
EXECUTIONER. IN THIS PROPOSAL AS
I READ IT.
SO. YES WE WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK
TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND TWEAK

INDEPENDENT YES WE DO. PAUL I'M
JUST.
BE CAREFULWHAT YOU ASK FOR NEXT.

THE LEGISLATURE AND OUR
STAKEHOLDERS. IN ITS FINAL
REPORT DETAILS HE'S INDEPENDENT
REVIEW PANEL RECOGNIZED OUR

NEED FOR DTS YOU TO PERSEVERE IN
THESE EFFORTS. THESE MAY
REVISION PROPOSALS HAVE BEEN
FOCUSED TO SUSTAIN DTS HE'S
PROGRESS IN CRITICAL PROGRAM
AREAS.
THEY WILL SUPPORT DTS HE'S
ABILITY TO MEET ITS MISSION TO
PROTECT PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA AND
THE ENVIRONMENT FROM THE HARMFUL
EFFECTS OF TOXIC TOXIC
SUBSTANCES. THE RESOURCES

COMMITMENT TO CLEAN UP
CONTAMINATED SITES INCREASE
ENFORCEMENT IN VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES AND MAXIMIZE COST
RECOVERY FROM RESPONSIBLE
PARTIES. THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH
DTS SEE TO MAKE TOUGH CHOICES
WITH LIMITED RESOURCES ON THESE
PROPOSALS.
TURNING TO THE BKK PROPOSAL DTS
SEE IS REQUESTING FOUR HUNDRED
THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS AND
TWO POSITIONS. THIS PROPOSAL

RESPONSIBLE PARTIES. HOWEVER
THERE ARE MANY RESPONSIBLE
PARTIES WE HAVE OF RECENTLY
SECURED A VERY LARGE SETTLEMENT
WITH ONE OF THE RESPONSIBLE
PARTIES JP MORGAN CHASE IN THE
AMOUNT OF ABOUT EIGHTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS.
THAT OF PAYS LARGELY FUTURE
COSTS OF CLEAN UP AT THAT SITE
ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME OF THE
COST REIMBURSEMENTS TO DTS CITY.
THE ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE PKK
WORKING GROUP PROVIDE THAT. I'D
NINETY PERCENT OF THE FUNDING
WILL A COVER OF FUTURE COSTS
THAT ARE INCURRED TEN PERCENT
WILL I GO TO A WRITTEN WORK
OUTSIDE OFF SAID DTS HE'S
ALREADY INCURRED COSTS.
BELIAU TWO POSITIONS FOUR
HUNDRED THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND.
SOME I WOULD LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE AND WE DON'T
HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THIS PROPOSAL
IN CONCEPT THIS IS ONE OF THE
LAST OF THEIR BUDGET CHANGE
PROPOSALS THAT THAT WE RECEIVE.
THEM WERE STILL REVIEWING IT AND
IF WE DIE DEFYING ANY ISSUES
WILL COMMUNICATE THEM WITH YOUR
STAFF.
BUSY TIME AYE LET'S OPEN UP THE
PUBLIC HEARING WHERE MEMBERS OF
THE PUBLIC THAT ARE HERE ON

GOOD AFTERNOON OR GOOD EVENING
NOW I GUESS HOA.
JUST WANTED TO GO THROUGH AND
JUST ON THE NEXUS AND SOME OF
THESE ITEMS ARE IN JUST WALKING
THROUGH IF YOU DON'T MIND. SO ON
THE COST RECOVERY MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM ON.
GO WALK THROUGH IT JUST FINE.
THE.
THE LEAD ACID BATTERY COUNTY
THIS BUT SYSTEM WILL BE WORKING
IS IT ON OTHERS WALK US THROUGH.
BUT THAT AND IF YOU COULD ALSO
GO THROUGH THE.
ENFORCEMENT IN VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES HIGH AS WELL AS A
SAFE CONSUMER.
PRODUCTS IMPLEMENTATION SECTION
AS WELL IN JUST THE NEXUS OF THE
COUNT.
CERTAINLY.
WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO PRESENT
THOSE PROPOSALS ARE NOW OR.
THE JUICE ON. THE STAY ON THE
BEAT KK OKAY ó I I'M I'M SORRY
BUT I IT'S ON THE ON THE PKK
OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING AND THERE'S
NO. THIS IS A DIFFERENT.
FIVE AND THIS IS FOR YOU TO GET

ONE MILLION TO MORE.
.
NOTHING ON THIS OKAY LET'S HOLD
OPEN.
THE PKK THIRD PARTY INITIATIVE
GET TO ISSUE NUMBER THIRTY TWO.
ARM WHICH IS ASKING FOR A THREE
POSITIONS IN A MILLION.
NINETY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS
ON THE HAZARDOUS WASTE CONTROL
ACCOUNT BUT FROM THOUGH IT HAS
HIS WAYS CONTROLCUT DISCUSS
RECOVERY PROGRAM.
THE COST RECOVERY PROGRAM IS A
TWO WERE DTC IS REQUESTING A TWO
POINT ONE EIGHT SIX MILLION
DOLLARS AND SIX POSITIONS.
TO RECOVER OF MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS ANNUALLY FROM
RESPONSIBLE PARTIES FOR COSTS
INCURRED BY THE DEPARTMENT FOR
CLEAN UP SITES ACROSS THE STATE
CONTAMINATED BY TOXIC
SUBSTANCES.
SO A BKK HAS RESPONSIBLE PARTIES
WE ARE DOING VERY COMPLEX COST
RECOVERY WORK ON THAT WE ARE DE
SPOKE ABOUT IT. COST RECOVERY
MORE BROADLY.
IS.
AN ACTIVITY WE UNDERTAKE WHEN
WE ARE BEGIN WORK ON A
CONTAMINATED SITE WE NEED TO
IDENTIFY ALL OF THE PARTIES THAT
MAY HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR.
CREATING THE CONTAMINATION AT
THAT SITE. DETERMINE WHETHER OR
NOT AT DAY ARE STILL EXISTS.
EXISTING AS.
I'LL LEGAL ENTITIES.
WHETHER THEY HAVE AN ABILITY TO
PAY THE COSTS WHETHER THERE MAY
BE OUTSTANDING AYE INSURANCE
PROVISIONS THAT COULD.
BE TAPPED INTO FIRED THOSE
POLICIES FOR RECOVERING OF THOSE
BECAUSE IT'S COMPLICATED WORK OF
THESE POSITIONS WILL BE.
DOING SOME COST RECOVERY WORK
RELATED TO US SITES THAT.
ARE POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATED
FROM OF THE OPERATION OF LEAD
ACID BATTERY RECYCLING
FACILITIES BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY
ON SUCH SITES
FOR THAT BUT I.
MISS READ THERE'S THREE
POSITIONS FROM HAZARDOUS WASTE
THREE FROM THE TALKS AS WE
DIDN'T RECEIVE THE BUDGET
CHAINED UNTIL LATE SO. HAVE WE
GOT THAT.
IT'S NOT IN OUR STAFF REPORT.
DID ALEJO DO YOU HAVE.
THIS ONE BEYOND THIS ONE.
I AM WE IF WE GET LEADING
CADENCE HEALTH TELL VERY
RESELLING HOOKER.
THE FINANCE.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS.
I DO APOLOGIZE I MEAN I
UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A GREAT
DEAL THESE THERE'S LOT OF
DOCUMENTS TO GO THROUGH.
AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAYS.
OKAY I'M IF YOU.
I MEAN IN A SENSE THINGS LIKE
LITTLE.
THE ONE PARAGRAPH THAT I HAVE IN
FRONT OF ME I MEAN I'M NOT IT
IT'S THREE POSITIONS. TO YOU
KNOW DEAL WITH COST RECOVERY
WE'VE HAD.
THE PLEASURE OF HAVING SEVERAL
HERE EXACT COST RECOVERY. AT.
DTS SEE SOME NOT UNFAMILIAR
WITH IT WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES
SO WITH THAT SAID LET ME OPEN UP
THE PUBLIC HEARING SEEING IF.
THERE SOME COST RECOVERY
EXPERTS AMONGST US.
WHO?
WANTED INTEREST SUBCOMMITTEE
SEEING NINE WILL CLOSE THE
PUBLIC HEARING.
.
I'M WOULD HOLD MATTER OPEN WE
GOT A COUPLE OF HOURS TO READ
THROUGH. WHAT WE HAVE?
?
PAT AND WILL MOVE ON TO THE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ON THE COST
RECOVERY THIS IS THIS IS A ISSUE
NUMBER THIRTY THREE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN BUTTON
AS A MATTER OF CONTEXT LET ME
JUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.
WE HAVE BEEN BEFORE THIS
COMMITTEE ON OUR COST RECOVERY
EFFORTS THERE WAS AN AUDIT BY
THE STATE AUDITOR.
THE POSITIONS WE REQUESTED FOR
THE COST RECOVERY ACTIVITIES
BROADLY THAT WE JUST SPOKE
ABOUT.
COME OUT OF THAT EFFORT TO
REDESIGN OUR COST RECOVERY
SYSTEM AND THE COST RECOVERY
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS ALSO AN
IMPORTANT COMPONENT. OF OUR
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE STATE
AUDITOR.
PTSD IS REQUESTING AN
AUGMENTATION OF A HUNDRED AND
FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS AS WELL
AS PROVISIONAL LANGUAGE TO
FURTHER AUGMENT THIS ITEM BY ONE
POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
CONTINGENT UPON THE. APPROVAL BY
THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND
THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
TECHNOLOGY FOUR STAGES THREE AND
FOUR OF THE PROJECT APPROVAL
LIFECYCLE FRAMEWORK FOR THIS
PROJECT. DECISION NINETY PROJECT
UNDERGOING THAT OVERSIGHT THE
PROPOSAL WILL PROVIDE FUNDING
FOR PLANNING COSTS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE REPLACEMENT. OF THE
COST RECOVERY BILLING SYSTEM
CURRENTLY USED BY DTS CD FOR
ISSUING ITS INVOICES TRACKING
PAYMENTS. AND RECONCILING
ACCOUNT BALANCES THE CURRENT
BILLING SYSTEM AS ACKNOWLEDGED
IN THE STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT IS
NOT SUPPORTED BY THE
MANUFACTURER. DOES NOT MEET
FUNCTIONAL NEEDS OF THE
DEPARTMENT AND CANNOT BE
MODIFIED TO MEET NEW STATUTORY
MANDATES.
HELLO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT
THAT ONE POINT FIVE MILLION
PROVISIONAL LANGUAGE.
BUT I'M I WAS GOING TO TRAIN
FRAME THIS UP AS A BROADER ISSUE
AND. WE NOTICED THAT THERE WERE
FIVE PROPOSALS THAT YOU'LL BE
GOING THROUGH TODAY. THERE THEY
PURPOSES HE'S THE LEAD ACID
BATTERY CLEAN UP FUNDS TO FUND
THEM.
AND INCLUDE THE COST RECOVERY
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THE LEAD ACID
BATTERY PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
ENFORCEMENT IN VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES A SAFER CONSUMER
PRODUCTS IMPLEMENTATION. AND THE
EXCITING FORSMAN ORDER BUT WE
THINK INSTEAD ALSO. BUT I NOTICE
THAT ALSO YEAH AND SUIT WE WE A
TIME THINK THAT THERE'S SOME OF
THESE WHERE IT'S ABSOLUTELY
APPROPRIATE THAT THEY USE THE
LEAD ACID BATTERY CLEANUP FUND
FOR EXAMPLE FOR THE LEAD ACID
BATTERY PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION.
HOWEVER IN OTHER CASES THEY SEEM
TO BE SHIFTING AWAY FROM THE USE
OF FUNDS OFFENSE YPES FUNDS
THAT THEY'VE USED IN THE PAST
ARE PROPOSING IS THE LEAD
ACID BATTERY CLEAN UP FIND. FOR.
.
TO FIND.
PROGRAM TODAY IT'S NOT CLEAR
WITH THE NEXUS IS.
BETWEEN WHITE THAT THE FOOD THAT
FUNDS ARE UPPOSED TO BE IS FOR
ACCORDINGLY LEGISLATION AND WHAT
THEY'RE BEING PROPOSED HE IS FOR
COST RECOVERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
AT LEAD ACID BATTERIES TO JUST A
SUBSET OF THE OTHER TOXIC AND
HAZARDOUS I'M.
.
WORK THAT THE DEPARTMENT TESS
FINANCE. WOULD SEE.
YOU ARE CORRECT IT IS JUST A
PORTION BUT WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE
YOU IS ALSO JUST THE BEGINNING
OF THIS PROJECT SO THAT DOESN'T
WHAT'S BEFORE YOU IS NOT THE
FULL COST OF. THE THE MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM.
SO AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH IT.
AND AS WE ARE WORKING WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF TOXIC CONTROLLED
SUBSTANCES. AND COMING UP WITH A
LONG TERM SUSTAINABLE PLAN FOR
THE HAZARDOUS WASTE CONTROL
ACCOUNT AND THE TOXIC.
SUBSTANCES CONTROL ACCOUNT. VAN
THOSE WILL START PICKING UP
THEIR SHARE OF IT AS WELL BUT
OF.
THE FIRST HUNDRED AND FORTY AND
THE.
THE SECOND ONE POINT FIVE
MILLION IF IT IF WE GET TO SIGN
OFF BUT THE I. T. PEOPLE IS THE
LEAD. ACID BATTERY ACCOUNT
BECAUSE THOSE THAT FUND HAS HAS
A HEALTHY RESERVE. AND CAN
WITHSTAND IT AT THIS TIME SO
LIKE I SAID AS WE MOVE FORWARD
IN THE. WITH THE PROJECT
THEN IN FUTURE REQUESTS
THEN THE OTHER FUNDS CAN PICK
UP.
SO WHERE IT STAGE FOR.
WHAT'S KNOWN.
THE PROJECT APPROVAL LIFESTYLE.
THIS IS THE ONE POINT FIVE WOULD
BE FOR STAGE FOUR OF THE. FIVE
STEPS THIS IS AFTER STAGE FOUR
SO HOW MUCH OF A LOOK AT SCOPE
SHERMAN RIGHT. THESE COSTS ARE
ACTUALLY AT A PRE GIVE ME I'M
SORRY THIS IS FRANCESCA NEVER
I'M THE CHIEF DEPUTY DIRECTOR
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME HERE
TODAY AND THAT'S AN EXCELLENT
QUESTION. THE CENTER ACTUALLY TO
COVER STAGE ARE COSTS INCURRED
IN STAGE THREE WE HAVE A
PROCUREMENT.
BENDER ON BOARD WE THESE ARE TO
COVER SOME PLANNING COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE OVERALL
PROJECT.
WE ARE HAVE.
HAD AN APPROVAL OF OUR STAGE TO
FROM THE DEPARTMENT TECHNOLOGY
AND ARE IN PHASE THREE AT THIS
POINT.
SO I GUESS THE QUESTION I SHOULD
BE ASKING IS HOW MUCH IS THIS
TECHNOLOGY.
.
ACCOUNTS TRACKING INVOICE WHAT'S
THE TOTAL COST OF TOTAL COST OF
THIS.
COMPUTER UPDATE. THIS
I MEAN IS IN THE SCALE OF.
THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS THIRTY
HAD WE HAD JUST.
THAT WE HAVE JUST IDENTIFIED ON
THE SOLUTION ITSELF WHICH IS AN
OFF THE SHELF MODIFIED SOLUTION
CALLED MONTH AND SO I DON'T
THINK AND WE'VE YET COST OUT THE
ENTIRE.
PROJECT FOR IN THE PROCUREMENT
HE'S LOOKING AT YOU YOU KNOW WE
WE HAVE IDENTIFIED THAT A
CERTAIN.
STRATEGY OR OR OFF THE SHELF
PRODUCT IS THE BEST STRATEGY AND
WE WE DON'T HAVE THE TOTAL COSTS
OF BUT THE HURT THAT IS FOR THE.
THE PRESENTATION TODAY IS THAT
WHEN WE GET TO THAT TOTAL COSTS
IS GOING TO BE PROPORTION
THROUGHOUT THE. DEPARTMENT OR
CLOSE ENOUGH SO THAT IT'S.
SOME OF IT IS LEAD BATTERY SOME
AS TOXIC SOME AS HAZARDOUS WASTE
SIR.
IS THAT THE IDEA.
YES.
I'M A WATCHDOG APPEAR AGAIN TO
MAKE SURE THAT IT'S. IT'S FAIR
OKAY.
FUNDS ATLEO.
MISTER CHAIRMAN WE'RE
RECOMMENDING THE LEGISLATURE
MODIFY THE ADMINISTRATION'S
PROPOSED PROVISIONAL BUDGET
BILLING WHICH REQUIRE THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE TO NOTIFY
THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE
JOURNALISTS LEGISLATIVE BUDGET
COMMITTEE THIRTY DAYS PRIOR TO
ANY AUGMENTATION.
TO THIS.
THAT THAT TIME ADMINISTRATIONS
REQUESTING THAT ABILITY TO
AUGMENT THIS PROPOSAL BY ONE
POINT FIVE MILLION CONTINGENT
UPON APPROVAL OF THAT DEPARTMENT
OF TECHNOLOGY FOR STAGE FOR.
OKAY.
NOTICE IS GIVEN. ALRIGHT. I'M.
WILL HOLD THIS MATTER OPEN MOVE
ON THE ISSUE NUMBER THIRTY FOUR.
AND THIS IS FOUR POINT FIVE FOUR
SEVEN FROM.
TOXIC SUBSTANCE CONTROL AND
THREE POINT TWO SIX FIVE.
MILLION FIRST SIGHT MEDIATION
ACCOUNT.
I THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN I AS
YOU'D STATED DETAILS HE IS
REQUESTING FOR POINT FIVE FOUR
SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS.
TO FUND DIRECT SITE REMEDIATION
WORK IVE FOR FISCAL YEAR TWENTY
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN AT SOME OF THE
NATION'S MOST CONTAMINATED
HAZARDOUS WASTE SITES. THESE ARE
SITES IDENTIFIED AS PRIORITY ONE
A. ONE B. AND PRIORITY TO IN DTS
SEES TWENTY EIGHTEEN REPORT ON
ESTIMATED DIS. DIRECT SITE
REMEDIATION COSTS FOR NATIONAL
PRIORITY LIST AND STATE ORPHAN
SITES.
THIS PROPOSAL WILL ALSO FUND
SOME STATE ORPHAN SITES WHERE NO
POTENTIALLY RESPONSIBLE PARTY
HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED WITH THE
MEANS TO PAY FOR THE RESPONSE
ACTIONS NEEDED. THE RESOURCES
REQUESTED WILL ENSURE CONTINUED
PROGRESS ON THE PRIORITY ONE A.
ONE B. AND TWO SITES. TTX DGSE
EXPECTS TO COMPLETE. A CLEAN UP
AND CERTIFY A TWO OF THOSE SITES
FOR BENEFICIAL REUSE.
AT THE END OF THIS FISCAL THE
COMING FISCAL YEAR.
OKAY FOR THE SAID THE CERCLA
SITES.
ADEN DE IN THESE ARE THESE ARE
SITES THAT.
ARE OFTEN REFERRED TO AS
SUPERFUND SITES BUT.
WHEN THEY ARE ON THE FEDERAL
NATIONAL PRIORITIES LIST SITES
THESE OF THE SITES WHERE.
WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS.
CONSTRUCTING THE CLEANUP REMEDY
DEEP THE STATE IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR PROVIDING TEN PERCENT OF
THAT KIND.
THE COST OF CONSTRUCTING THE
REMEDY AND THEN ONCE THE REMEDY
IS CONSTRUCTED THE STATE FUNDS
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS.
SO EVERY TIME OF THE FEDERAL
OVERNMENT I EAT EPA REGION BUT.
USEPA MAKES A DETERMINATION TO
LIST
A SITE ON THE NATIONAL PRIORITY
LIST SITE THE STATE IS REQUIRED
TO CONCUR WITHOUT LISTING FOR IT
TO GO FORWARD WHEN THE STATE
CONCURS. THAT'S AN OBLIGATION TO
MEET THE MATCH AND TO ASSUME
OPERATION WHEN THE REMEDY IS
CONSTRUCTED CLOSER THE FEDERAL
SITES.
A WE HAVE MANY VERY CONTAMINATED
SITES IN CALIFORNIA THAT ARE NOT
ON THE NATIONAL PRIORITY LIST
SITE. ARE ORPHANS.
AND.
THEY ARE A REFERRED TO AS STATE
ORPHAN SITES AND SO.
DTS SEE.
HAS INFORMATION OF ABOUT ON
NINETY EIGHT HUNDRED SUCH SITES.
AND.
WE PRIORITIZE THOSE SITES FOR A
RESPONSE ACTIONS BASED ON THE
RISKS THEY POSE TO HUMAN HEALTH
.
GOD THESE COSTS WILL OF FUND
WORK AGAIN AS I SAID ON SITES
THAT ARE RANKED AS PRIORITY ONE.
I A PRIORITY ONE BE AND PRIORITY
TO SITES AND.
WE'VE PROVIDED A REPORT THAT
ARTICULATES HOW WE ARRIVE AT
THOSE PRIORITIZATION THERE ARE
MANY OTHER SITES ON OUR. A LIST
OF CONTAMINATED SITES THAT WILL
NOT BE FUNDED. AND YOU INDICATED
THAT THERE WERE A WITH THE FUNDS
TO BE TWO SITES THAT WILL BE.
REMEDIATED AND A HOLD. AVAILABLE
FOR RE USE THERE ARE THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF SITES THAT ARE WHERE
WE WILL CONTINUE WORK ON MY SITE
BUT THESE CLEANUPS TAKE A
CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. OF
THE I BELIEVE THE.
LA O. HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT A
WHAT WE ANTICIPATED WE WOULD
COMPLETE WORK ON AND WE EXPECT
TO COMPLETE WORK ON TWO OF THE
SITES WE HAVE.
IN PROGRESS RIGHT NOW AYE IN
THE COMING FISCAL YEAR.
BELIAU.
IF
AND WOULDN'T YOU AND CANCER.
WE NEED TO EVER HAVE ANY ISSUES
TO RAISE WITH THIS PART TIME.
NO IT IS MIND BOGGLING THE
AMOUNT OF WORK THAT HAS TO BE
DONE AND NOT.
AND WE.
WE DO THAT THE WONDERFUL THING
OF CHANGING THE LAW TO REDEFINE
WHAT THAT THE DEGREE OF HAZARD
AND GRIEF CLEAN UP IS SO THIS
MAKES IT.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL WORLD LET'S
OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING HERE
THIS IS THE NATIONAL PRIORITY
LIST IN THE STATE OR FAN SITES.
ABOUT SEVEN POINT EIGHT MILLION.
.
FOR OUR PRIORITY.
ONE A AND ONE B. SITES WAS CLOSE
PUBLIC HEARING. WILL HOLD THE
MATTER OPEN THANK YOU.
LET'S
MOVE INTO THE LEAD BATTERY A
LEAD ACID BATTERY PROGRAM
IMPLEMENTATION.
NUMBER ISSUE NUMBER THIRTY FIVE
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN. AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE DTS SEE
IS REQUESTING SIX POINT SEVEN
TWO FOUR MILLION DOLLARS AND
FIFTEEN POSITIONS. TO
INVESTIGATE AND CLEAN UP AREAS
SUSPECTED TO HAVE BEEN
CONTAMINATED BY THE OPERATION OF
LEAD ACID BATTERY RECYCLING
FACILITIES THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA.
WITH A CONSISTENT WITH THE
MANDATES OF THE LEAD ACID
BATTERY RECYCLING ACT OF TWENTY
SIXTEEN.
ELIOT WE HAVE A DIFFERENT
OPINION WELL AS NOTED IN YEAH
THAT AGENDA.
WE WE WE RECOMMENDED THAT THIS
PROPOSAL BE REJECTED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE BECAUSE THERE WAS A A
REPORT HAD PENDING THAT WOULD
NOT OVERDO THAT WE NOT RECEIVED.
HOWEVER 粒
YESTERDAY SO WE ARE NOW WITH
TRYING THAT RECOMMENDATION.
OKAY.
LET'S OPEN UP FOR PUBLIC
HEARING.
THIS IS A.
THIRTEEN MILLION DOLLARS AND
FIFTEEN POSITIONS FOR ON.
GOING LED. A ACID BATTERY.
SHE DOES THIS REMIND ME OF SAID
THIS IS LEAD ACID BATTERY.
PRIMARILY IN EXCITE RIGHT FORCES
LEAD ACID BATTERY CAN'T PASS.
THE CONTAMINATION EVERYWERE.
HER HUSBAND.
MMHM THESE FUNDS.
MAY BE USED.
AMONG OTHER THINGS TOO.
INVESTIGATE AND.
CHARACTERIZE AND ULTIMATELY
CLEANUP SITES WHERE DTS SEE HAS
REASON TO SUSPECT WEAKENED LEAD
CONTAMINATION RESULTED FROM THE
OPERATION. OF A LEAD ACID
BATTERY RECYCLING AT THE SITE.
IS THIS BEYOND WHO GRAYSON AYE
THE AGREEMENT WHAT EXCITE WAS
THEY WERE GOING TO DO SOME
INVESTIGATIONS OR SOME
REMEDIATION OUTSIDE THE
BOUNDARIES AND THERE WAS LIKE A
QUESTION OF.
HERE'S BACKSIDE HERE'S THE
BOUNDARY AND THEY WERE GOING TO
GO IN AND DO THAT IS THIS
BEYOND.
BEYOND THE LINE.
A.
CONTAMINATION AROUND THE FORMER
EXILED FACILITY IS ONE OF THE
USES POTENTIAL USES OF THESE
FUNDS. OF THE EXCITED EGGS I'D
TECHNOLOGIES AS A COMPANY.
IS A. RESPONSIBLE FOR A CLOSING
THE FACILITY SITE AND CLEANING
UP OF THE CONTAMINATION ON THE
SIDE OF THE FACILITY AND FOR
INVESTIGATING THE AREA AROUND
THE FACILITY. AND CLEANING UP
ANY CONTAMINATION THE OPERATIONS
INTO THE SURROUNDING AREA.
AS YOU'RE AWARE DE TSC WAS
AWARDED BY THE LEGISLATURE A
HUNDRED SEVENTY SIX POINT SIX
MILLION DOLLARS. TO BEGIN
RESIDENTIAL CLEANUP ACTIVITIES
IN THE LARGER AREA AROUND THE
EXACT FACILITY AND I CAN GIVE
YOU I BELIEVE THE COMMITTEE
EARLIER TODAY.
UPDATED.
AT AB EXCUSE ME THE COMMITTEE
EARLIER TODAY A APPROVED A A
REQUEST TO A RE APPROPRIATE
THOSE FUNDS. FOR OF THE
CONTINUATION OF THAT WORK AND I
CAN GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THAT
THAT WORK IF YOU'RE INTERESTED.
HOWEVER I GUESS THE QUESTION IS
WHAT ARE THESE FIFTEEN POSITIONS
COULD BE DOING THAT THERE
WOULDN'T BE DONE BUT THAT.
BEFORE SO THEY ARE OUT WERE. A
NUMBER OF OTHER SITES THAT ARE
OPERATED A IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WHERE LEAD ACID
BATTERIES WERE RECYCLED. AND THE
DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN EVALUATING
THOSE FORMER LEAD ACID BATTERY
RECYCLING SITES AND WE HAVE
PRIORITIZED THEM FOR FURTHER
WORK. UNDER THIS PROPOSAL THERE
ARE FOUR SITE IN PARTICULAR THAT
WE ARE RECOMMENDING WE MOVE.
A EXPEDITIOUSLY TO DO SOME
CHARACTERIZATION AND CLEAN UP
WORK.
.
TO ADDRESS CONTAMINATION THAT
MAY EXIST AYE IN COMMUNITIES
AROUND THOSE FOUR SITES BUT WE
ARE AWARE OF ADDITIONAL SITES A
WE BELIEVE THERE MAY BE UP TO A
HUNDRED ADDITIONAL SITES WHERE.
OF THIS ACTIVITY COULD HAVE
OCCURRED AND WE NEED TO.
LOOK AT THE OPERATIONS THAT
HAPPENED AT THOSE SITES AND
WHETHER CONTAMINATION MAY HAVE
MIGRATED OFF OF THOSE SITES AND
INTO SURROUNDINGCOMMUNITIES AND
THEN THEY WOULD BE. ELIGIBLE FOR
CLEAN UP AS WELL YOU KNOW THE
CHAIR'S INTEREST IN IN LOCATING
NEW SITES BECAUSE WE EVERYBODY'S
GOT A BETTER IN THEIR CAR. WE
GOT. ELECTRIC CARS COULD HAVE
BATTERIES AND IT'S OUR STATE'S
RESPONSIBILITY TO CLEAN UP OUR
OWN MESS CURRENT HAZARDOUS
WASTES I KNOW THAT'S NOT. A
POPULAR BUT IT'S A NECESSARY
DISCUSSION THEY HAVE IS
EVERYBODY NOBODY WANTS IT IN
THEIR COUNTY OR IN THEIR SENATE
DISTRICT BUT WE ALL HAVE. A
MONSTROUS AMOUNT OF BATTERIES
THAT WE USE AND I'M CONCERNED
THAT THAT THIS.
POLITICAL WORK THAT FOLKS ARE
DOING OR THAT OR THE DISCUSSION
IS GOING TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE
FOR FOLKS FOR A A. WELL MEETING.
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPANY TO COME
IN AND ACTUALLY PROCESS THE LEAD
IN THE ASSET THAT WE HAVE IN OUR
BURKE IN OUR.
.
IT'S IN OUR CARS ARE WE ARE WE
ARE WASTE.
.
SO YOU THERE ON THE GROUND I
MEAN THEORY.
I GUESS THIS IS THE BUDGET
HEARING SO WE WERE LOOKING FOR
YOU KNOW AS WE DO THE CLEAN UP
OF THESE OTHER SITES
AND AND WE DO REMEDIATION AND
LEAD BATTERIES. THERE'S A.
TO STILL THAT DESIRE TO BE ABLE
TO RECYCLE OUR.
WASTE HERE IN STATE ARM.
SO THIS MAY NOT BE THE TIME TO
ASK IT SO I WILL.
NOT ASKING A QUESTION BUT I
WOULD BE INTERESTED IN IN GOING
FORWARD.
YOU KNOW I KNOW WE HEAR IT
CRUNCH TIME AT THE END OF THE
THE BUDGET IS COMING IN BUT
GOING FOR WITH DICK WITH A
PROGRAM THAT IF WE HAVE SOME OF
THE SU PERCENT FUN SITES THAT
BEEN REMEDIATED. THAT THE NO I
MEAN IT. BABY PICKY I GUESS YOU
COULD DO ANYTHING THERE BUT
WHERE WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE
SITE THAT YOU WOULD LOCATE. A
BATTERY IN ACID. OF RECYCLING
PROGRAM TO TAKE CARE OF IT THAT
DEMANDS UNTIL WE GET TO KNOW
BACK.
FLYING AROUND WHAT SOMETHING
ELSE SO.
WE'RE GONNA HOLD IT OPEN.
THANK YOU. AND MOVE ON TO A.
ENFORCEMENT INVULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES IS ISSUE NUMBER
THIRTY EIGHT AND.
THE LEAD ACID BATTERY CLEAN A
FUN.
THANK YOU AGAIN MISTER CHAIRMAN
OF MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
DETAILS HE IS REQUESTING ONE
POINT OF SIX MILLION DOLLARS TO
IMPLEMENT THE REMAINING
ACTIVITIES REQUIRED UNDER A I'M
SORRY I AM ON THE WRONG.
HIT HIM ON THE WRONG ONE.
I I TURNED TWO PAGES THIS IS A
LETTER HAD DECISIONS YES.
DTS IS REQUESTING.
.
AND.
TWO POINT FOUR NINE SIX MILLION
DOLLARS IN FUNDING FOR ELEVEN
POSITIONS THAT WILL OTHERWISE
EXPIRE ON JUNE THIRTIETH OF
TWENTY EIGHTEEN. THE PROPOSAL
WILL PROVIDE CONTINUED SUPPORT
FOR DTS THE MISSION CRITICAL
WORK TO ADDRESS SERIOUS
ENVIRONMENTAL VIOLATIONS BY
HAZARDOUS WASTE TRANSPORT. AND
METAL RECYCLING INDUSTRIES THAT
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
COMMUNITIES.
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
SOME.
SENATOR MY MCGUIRE HAD A
QUESTION ABOUT THIS OF
PARTICULAR.
.
OF BUDGET PROPOSAL IF YOU WOULD
LIKE TO ASK YOUR QUESTION I
WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER IT.
SURE THINK SO MUCH IT MADE A
GESTURE I THINK THAT WHAT WHAT
I'LL DO IS JUST. YOU KNOW FOR
EACH OF THESE ITEMS THAT YOU'RE
LOOKING AT IN REGARDS TO. A
CLEAN UP. DISCIPLINE FOR THE
NEXUS RIGHT A AS WERE AS YOU'RE
USING THE ONE ACCOUNT THERE HAS
TO BE THAT NEXUS AND I THINK. AS
THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S HAS
STATED ANDERSON THAT WE NEED TO
BE TO GET ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
RIGHT BECAUSE.
THIS ARRIVE LAST LATE LAST NIGHT
WANTING TO BE TO GET A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING OF THE NEXUS AND
AGAIN I'M NOT TRYING TO JUMP
AHEAD BUT I THINK THERE'S.
ABSOLUTE NEXUS ON ALL ISSUES OF
ON THE LEAD ACID BATTERY
PROGRAM.
AND THERE'S.
NEXUS ON DEAN. GUY.
THE REASON WHY IS IT VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES BECAUSE. THIS ALSO
YOU HAVE METAL SHREDDING FOR
EXAMPLE.
AS PART OF THIS ONGOING PROGRAM.
AND OTHER ITEMS IN ACTIVITIES
THAT ARE COMING OUT OF THIS THAT
SPECIFIC PROGRAM SO.
WANTING TO BE TO GET A BETTER
AND SANER YUNIS.
I PORTION FROM THE ACCOUNT TO BE
RECOVER.
THIS ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THE
WHOLE.
ALL THE POSITIONS BECOME BUT
FROM THE COUNT THAT'S I'M JUST
TRYING TO GET A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING YOU CAN WAY TO
ANSWER THAT. ON EACH OF THESE
ITEMS.
WE'RE GONNA LET PATTON BATTERED
LEAD ACID BATTERY COUNT. OR YOU
CAN IN ANSWERED INDIVIDUAL AND I
REALLY APPRECIATE THAT MAN
TRACTOR.
I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION
SENATOR MCGUIRE I'M DTS SEE HAS
WORKED VERY HARD WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE.
OUGHT TO MAKE SOME TOUGH BUDGET
CHOICES OF WITH LIMITED
RESOURCES.
ALEJO. A I THINK YOU JUST MIGHT
BE HELPFUL THE I HAVE THE STATUE
HEROES AREA AB TWENTY ONE FIFTY
THREE THAT ESTABLISH THE LEAD
ACID BATTERY FUND. AND IT'S IT'S
PRETTY CLEAR IT SAYS MONIES IN
THE LEAD ACID BATTERY CLEAN UP
FUND SHALL BE EXPENDED FOR THE
FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES SINCE IT'S
GOING TO GO THROUGH THEM.
INVESTIGATION SIDE EVALUATION
CLEANUP REMEDIAL ACTION REMOVAL
MONITORING OR OTHER RESPONSE
ACTIONS AT ANY AREA OF THE STATE
THAT IS REASONABLY SUSPECTED TO
HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED BY THE
OPERATION OF THE LEAD ACID
BATTERY RECYCLING FACILITY. AND
ALSO FOR THE DEPARTMENTS
ADMINISTRATION.
SO IF THERE WAS ONE OF HE I
THINK WE HEARD THERE WERE OF.
POSSIBLY A HUNDRED SITES
CERTAINLY FOR OTHER SITES THAT
THAT HANDLED BATTERIES IF IT FOR
METAL SHREDDER IS IN THAT AREA.
DIDN'T IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE
NEXUS THERE HE MIGHT NOT KNOW
WHAT THE CLEANUP WOULD BE THIS
IS.
THIS IS TO.
WELL THE CITRUS SERIOUS
ENVIRONMENTAL VIOLATIONS SO YOU
WOULD YOU.
COULD DID TO THE EXTENT TO TO
DETERMINED THAT THE
CONTAMINATION WAS FROM THE LEAD
ACID OR FROM THE HAZARDOUS WASTE
OR FROM THE METAL SHREDDING. HIS
MEDALS FOR WHEN YOU SHRED
MENTAL.
IMAGES
SAME.
HOW TO BECOME HAZARDOUS WHEN IT
COMES IN AND HAZARDOUS HAS IT
GET SHREDDED BECOME HAZARDOUS?
IT THERE ARE ADD THE METAL
SHREDDING ACTIVITIES RESULTED
AND INCREASINGLY FINER UP
PARTICULAR.
MEDALS OF BEING RELEASED AND
AND SO THE CONTAMINATION OF
CONCERN ARE ARE A SERIES OF
HEAVY METALS THAT ARE PRESENT
IN.
OUR AUTOMOBILES LARGE
APPLIANCES.
THESE OF THE SORTS OF THINGS
THAT THE METAL SHREDDING
OPERATIONS ADDRESS SO IT'S IT'S
NOT THE MATH ON THAT ALLOYED.
PER SE IT'S AS HE GETS INTO THE
PAST.
METAL DUST. YES
THAT THE THE AT THE.
THE OPERATIONS ATTEMPT TO
RECOVER.
METAL FROM SHREDDING ACTIVITIES.
THEY RECOVER A VERY LARGE
PERCENTAGE OF THE OF THE METAL
IN ACCESS OF NINETY PERCENT OF
THE MODELS.
ARE RECOVERED FROM THE SHREDDED
AUTOMOBILES BUT THERE ARE MANY
OTHER COMPONENTS AYE IN THE
AUTOMOBILES THAT ARE SHREDDED.
SEATS AND.
OTHER THINGS AND AT THE END OF
THE PROCESS.
THAT.
DOT METAL SHREDDER OF WASTE IS
A.
IT LOOKS SORT OF LIKE GOT A
FLUFFY.
DUST LIKE MATERIAL AND IT IS
CONTAMINATED WITH.
HEAVY METALS.
FINANCE. APPEAR TO ME THAT THE
PARAGRAPH THAT THE LA O. JUST
READ WOULD PRECLUDE. MONIES
BEING USED FROM THIS FUN
ADMITTEDLY ALL THESE LET'S
LET'S.
ASSUME ARGUENDO THAT ALL THESE
NEEDS ARE GREAT BUT THE USE OF
THE FUND WOULD PROCURE ROCK
PRECLUDE PRECLUDE.
THE STATE FROM USING IT WHAT
CITY.
WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT?
THANK YOU I ACKNOWLEDGE IT
CONCERNS WITH THE USE OF THE
FUND WHAT WE WHAT WE TRY TO DO
WHEN W PUT THIS TOGETHER AS
COMPLETE PACKAGE.
WAS RECOGNIZING THAT.
THE DEPARTMENT OF TOXIC
SUBSTANCES HAS.
STRUGGLED WITH.
FIND.
IMBALANCES AND DEFICITS.
AND. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF
CHALLENGES LONG THE WAY. THAT WE
WANTED TO BE ABLE TO GET THEM
THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF.
YEARS WITH WITHOUT BEING IN THE
RED WITHOUT HAD GETTING THAT
DEFICIT WE KNOW THAT THIS IS AN
ONGOING PROBLEM. THAT WE NEED TO
COME UP WITH A LONGER TERM
SOLUTION. THIS WAS ONE OF THEM.
FEE.
ROOM I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME
OF A. B.. TWENTY ONE FIFTY
THREE.
TWENTY FIFTY THREE TWENTY ONE
FIFTY THREE WAS PASSED BY A
SUPERMAJORITY AND THEREFORE
THERE'S NO CONSTITUTIONAL.
RESTRICTION ON THE USE OF TAT
FUND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
BUT.
WE WE FELT THAT THESE.
PROPOSALS WOULD KEEP THE
DEPARTMENT HOLE.
AND FOR.
FOR THE OVER ARCHING GOAL OF
KEEPING COMMUNITY SAFE.
THAT THAT IS THE ACCESS.
BUT TENANTS INTERESTING
QUAGMIRE.
THAT WARREN CENTER MCGUIRE.
THINK YOU SHOULD JUST DIE AND IS
FOCUSED ON TO.
ABBAS TO CHAIR I AM THIRTY THREE
WHICH IS THE COST RECOVERY
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN ITEM NUMBER
THIRTY SIXTEEN FORSMAN VAUGHN
WILL COMMUNITIES.
THE THIRTY SIX FIRST OKAY SO
THIRTY SIX.
BUT. THERE MAY BE MULTIPLE BUT
TO SAY MINIMUM OF TWO.
ACTIVITIES.
AT WITH IN THAT SPECIFIC
PROGRAM.
BUT WHAT BY DEPARTMENT FINANCES
SAYING IS THAT.
NUMBER ONE YOU THINK WE'RE ALL
VERY THANK YOU FOR BRING A FORTY
SAID THAT THERE HAD BEEN SOME
CHALLENGES FINANCIALLY RIGHT
NEED TO BE ABLE TO WRITE THAT.
FINANCIAL SHIP. WHICH IT WITHIN
DGSE.
THIS. PATTERN.
BETTER CLEAN UP.
BUT THERE'S ALSO SAID KNOWLEDGE
SOME OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT ARE
IN THAT SAME PROGRAM.
BUT YOU'RE LOOKING AT FUNDING
THE ENTIRE PROGRAM.
WITH THE LEAD ACID.
BUT. LET'S SEE LED BATTERY ACID
ACCOUNT.
THAT IS CORRECT.
WE ABSENT ANY OTHER FUNDING
SOURCE.
WE FELT THAT THESE ACTIVITIES
WERE VERY. IMPORTANT AND
PRIORITY SO WE WANTED THEM TO
CONTINUE THERE'S HESITANCY ON. I
KNOW THAT.
THE AND GOVERNOR'S AN AMAZING
JOB BY THE WAY ON THE BUDGET BUT
I ALWAYS OF THIS RELUCTANCE OF
THE GENERAL FUND BUT I THINK
THAT'S ONE AREA TO BE ABLE TO
LOOK AT. ON THIS SPECIFIC AREA
WITH THAT. THAT THAT'S CAN.
AND THAT IS A CONSIDERATION.
HOWEVER GIVEN THE SURPLUS NOW WE
WERE ONLY USING THAT ON ONE TIME
ACTIVITIES AND HAS YOU AS WERE
ALL AWARE OF THE VOLATILITY OF
GENERAL FUND REVENUES.
WE DIDN'T SEE THAT AS AN ONGOING
THESE ARE ONGOING PROGRAMS AND
WE DIDN'T WANT TO USE ONE TIME
FUNDING FOR THAT.
BUT I THINK I THINK.
BASED ON WHAT YOU SAID YOU HAVE
AS THE TWO THIRDS
CONSTITUTIONAL.
A.
AUTHORITY TO USE THESE FOR THESE
FUNDS ALTHOUGH THE STATUTORY
AUTHORITY DOESN'T EXIST BECAUSE
THE STATUTE SAYS THIS ALTHOUGH
CONSTITUTIONALLY YOU MAY BE ABLE
TO USE THAT PART IN LESS WE
CHANGE.
THE STATUTE ALEJO COMMITTEES
YOU'RE READING IT IF YOU IF WEEK
IF.
DEAL WITH THE TWO THIRDS VOTE
AND IT'S IT'S THERE I DON'T WANT
EVERYBODY FROM TRAVIS CAMERAMEN
IN HERE RIGHT NOW.
BUT I.
I IN MY UNDERSTANDING THAT DO
THE PUT THE CHALLENGE THE
STATUTORY IT THE STATURE THAT I
READ TO YOU I THINK IS
REMARKABLY CLEAR AND IN TERMS OF
WHAT. THE LEGISLATURE INTENDED
TO BE THE ALLOW WILL PERSIST
SAYS FOR THIS FIND I'M WE'RE
GETTING IS THE QUESTION OF
WHETHER.
IF IT WAS PASSED WITH A TWO
THIRDS VOTE HOW MUCH DISCRETION
DOES THAT GIVE THE LEGISLATURE
TO USE IT FOR OTHER PURPOSES I
WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU E.
CONSULT WITH LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
ON THE RIGHT.
BECAUSE IF THERE WAS. WE DON'T
HAVE TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE CHAIR
ANOTHER NOT I'M NOT SUGGESTING
IT BUT IF THERE WERE. TRAILER
BILL LANGUAGE THAT THAT
CLARIFIED THE STATUTORY THE
CHANGE THAT STATUTORY.
LIMITATION.
WHETHER IT'S A GOOD IDEA ARE
NOT.
THAT WOULD I THINK LEGALLY
WE WILL WE BE FOR CREATING THE
NEXT A SWEEPING SAY WE SEEM TO
HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO IT. ARM
HIM.
OKAY THERE'S ANOTHER WRINKLE
HERE TO IT I'M NOT AN ATTORNEY
AND I CANNOT GIVE LEGAL ADVICE.
BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT.
UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE
LEGISLATURE TO APPROPRIATE THE
FUNDING. THEN THE BUDGET ACT.
ACTUALLY.
.
OVERRIDES THAT THAT STATUTE.
BECAUSE WE HAVE BECAUSE
INSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY YES YOU
YES BECAUSE THERE'S NOT A
CONSTITUTIONAL RESTRICTION
AGAINST IT YOU KNOW THAT.
BUT LET'S ASSUME THAT THAT'S
TRUE THAT'S DANGEROUS FOR US TO
DO FOR WE HAVE THE STATUTES I
MEAN YOU CAN IMAGINE THE CROWD
COMING IN SAYING HERE'S THE
PLAIN LANGUAGE OF THE STATUTE BE
DECIDED. SAN SAID EMERGENCY
ENOUGH FOOD IF YOU IF YOU MADE
EMERGENCY SESSION TO GO IN THERE
JUST TO SAY. AS A HIGH
CONVENIENCE FOR FUNDING
NECESSARY PROGRAMS ALL OUT HOW
STIPULATED
AT THAT.
OKAY.
THIS HELPS THIS HELPS.
DOES MAKE THE JAPANESE HERE BUT
IT HELPS.
WE'RE GONNA HOLD. THIRTY SIX
WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON TO THIRTY
SEVEN.

THE EVER PATIENT DEPARTMENT OF
FOOD AND AGRICULTURE.
WE HAVE TWO ITEMS WITH.
A.
FOOD AND AGRICULTURE DAY NUTRIA.
DETECTION AND SURVEYING.
A TWO YEAR LIMITED TERM BASIS
FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR
GENERAL FUND REQUESTS.
A GOOD EVEN CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE.
WELL YEAH WHAT YOU HAVE BEFORE
YOU ON ITEM THIRTY NINE IS FOUR
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR US
TO CONDUCT DETECTION WORK ON
NUTRIA.
TO DATE AS OF YESTERDAY WE
ACTUALLY HAVE AN INFORMATIONAL
HEARING IN THE SENATE AG
COMMITTEE ON THIS SUBJECT MATTER
AND SIXTY THREE HAVE BEEN
DETECTED. IN A RECENT ONE WAS
DETECTED ON ROBERT'S ISLAND
WHICH IS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR
THE DELTA AND THAT'S AN EXTREME
FEAR FOR A LOT OF DIFFERENT
GROUPS NOT JUST AGRICULTURE.
A THESE ARE HIGHLY DESTRUCTIVE
SEMI AQUATIC RODENT.
IN YESTERDAY'S HEARING A PROJECT
DIRECTOR WHO'D WORKED ON THE
CHESAPEAKE BAY PROJECT WERE
CHESAPEAKE BAY THAT ONE WENT ON
WITH THE CORE OF THE PROJECT FOR
OVER A DECADE BUT THERE ON YOUR
EIGHTEEN AND THEY HAVEN'T
DECLARED ERADICATION AS OF YET
BUT THEY'RE CLOSE.
AND SO HE WAS ABLE TO
ELIMINATING HIGHLIGHT A LOT OF
THE EXPERIENCES THEY HAD THEIR.
IN THE TAKE AWAY MESSAGES IS
THAT WE DON'T WANT THIS THING TO
GET OUT OF HAND IN CALIFORNIA
IT'S EXTREMELY DESTRUCTIVE DOES
A LOT OF DAMAGE NOT ONLY TO
SENSITIVE WETLANDS. TO WATER
CONVEYANCE AND THEN EVENTUALLY
THAT MAKES IT AND AGRICULTURAL
AREAS TO AGRICULTURAL CROPS
THEMSELVES.
SO THE FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND
WOULD CAN THE ONE POSITION FOR
TWO YEARS WOULD ALLOW US TO
ASSEMBLE THREE TEAMS ONE LAND
BASED AND TWO WATER BASED. WITH
ALSO PURCHASED TWO BOATS AND
MOTION TRIGGERED CAMERAS TO USE
FOR DETECTION AND WE WOULD BUILD
SOME SMALL PLATFORMS THAT ARE.
USEFUL TO PUT NEXT TO WATERWAYS
AND WE PAID HIM WITH THINGS LIKE
SWEET POTATOES.
AND WE HAVE VARIOUS OTHER
PIECES OF EQUIPMENT TO HELP TRY
TO DETECT THAT. FLOOD THE PHASE
THAT WE WOULD BE AND IN THESE
NEXT TWO YEARS IS WHAT WE CALL
DE LIMITATION. AND THAT'S
IDENTIFYING THE SCOPE OF WHAT WE
THINK THE POPULATIONS ARE IN THE
DETECTION VERIFIES THAT OUT AND
WE MAP THAT.
BUT WE WOULD WORKING VERY
COLLABORATIVE LEE WITH
DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE.
BUT THEY ALSO HAVE A GRANT SO
THAT'S WHY THEY'RE NOT ASKING
FOR FUNDING BUT THEY ARE ALSO
DEPLOYING A DEDICATED PROJECT
TEAM ON THEIR SIDE TO DO WORK IN
THIS AREA AS WELL.
NUTRIA SWAT TEAM.
YEAH OUT OF SORTS JUST TO FOR
THE RECORD SINCE THIS IS A
HEARING THE DEPARTMENT OF FOOD
AGRICULTURAL WILL NOT BE ON THE
TAKE SIDE. SO WE WILL BE DOING
DETECTION WORK BUT DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE IMPOSSIBLE
USDA WILDLIFE SERVICES WILL DEAL
WITH WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
POPULATIONS ARE DETECTED HIM
THEN THEY NEED TO DEAL WITH
HOUSING HERE THE UNITS TO. THE
SCOUT YOU WE MIND WHAT THEY ARE
AND THEN YOU CALLED YES THAT I
A GOOD ANALOGY WE WILL DETERMINE
WHERE THEY'RE AT ELIA WHAT DO
YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON
THIS NUTRIA. WE DON'T HAVE ANY
ISSUES WITH THIS PROPOSAL ON
CONCEPT OF A COUPLE QUESTIONS
INTO THE DEPARTMENT THAT WE
HAVEN'T RECEIVED RESPONSES
CAVEAT THAT. IF WE IF WE HAVE
ANY ISSUES WILL WAS ON ALERT
YOUR STAFF.
WHAT'S OPEN UP THE PUBLIC
HEARING THAT WE HAVE COMMENTS
SEVEN ABOUT THE. NUTRIA.
THAT RECENT NUTRITIVE
TECHNICIAN.
OKAY REMARKS.
THAT'S.
AS FOR.
PUT OUT AND A LOT OF THE ACTUAL
SIGHTINGS OF THE NUTRI ARE
TAKING PLACE IN THE GRASS AND
ECOLOGICAL AREA WHICH IS. A TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND. ACRE PUBLIC
AND PRIVATELY MANAGE SEASONAL
WETLAND IF YOU WILL WHICH IS THE
PERFECT QUARK HABITAT FOR IT
INVASIVE SPECIES LIKE THIS SO.
WE'D LIKE TO BE INVOLVED AS THE
PROJECT GOES FORWARD.
WE APPRECIATE THIS BUDGET
PROPOSAL THIS IS A SERIOUS
CONCERN AND THAT WE LOOK FORWARD
TO WORKING WITH BOTH DEPARTMENTS
THANK YOU.
OKAY WILL CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
GIVE A QUESTION A NUTRIA.
I'M.
OKAY WE'RE GONNA KEEP PULLED IT
OPEN THANK YOU FOR THE HEAT
PRESENTATION. OM LET'S GO TO OUR
FINAL ISSUE ISSUE FORTY WHICH IS
THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY GRANT.
THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS REQUESTING
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
ONE TIME GENERAL FUND AND
PROVISIONAL LANGUAGE WOULD ALLOW
US TO PASSES THROUGH THE SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY PARTNERSHIP. TO
HELP THEM ADDRESS THEM
ADMINISTRATIVE. SUPPORT THAT
THEY NEED THE PREVIOUS
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT FOR THIS
IMPORTANT PARTNERSHIP HIS COME
FROM VARIOUS SOURCES OVER THE
YEARS. AND THEY'RE IN A POSITION
RIGHT NOW WHERE THERE ARE. GOING
TO BE SEVERELY UNDERFUNDED AND
THEY'VE DONE A LOT OF IMPORTANT
WORK OUT OBVIOUS IN THE SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY AGRICULTURE IS
VERY HUGE INDUSTRY THERE ARE A
LOT OF THE WORK IMPACTS
AGRICULTURE AND ALL THE PEOPLE
WHO DEPEND ON AGRICULTURE FOR A
LIVING IN A LIVELIHOOD. UP BUT
THEY'VE DONE GREAT WORK IN A LOT
OF OTHER AREAS AND DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES IN THE EDUCATIONAL
COMMUNITIES THERE IN THAT
REGION.
SO WE CONSIDERED A VERY
IMPORTANT PARTNERSHIP THE
SECRETARY ROSS ACTUALLY SITS ON
THE BOARD FOR THAT. AND HAS
DEDICATED OFF A LOT OF TIME IN
THE LAST FEW YEARS TO IT AND
SHE'S VERY MOTIVATED DEDICATED
TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IMPORTANT
PARTNERSHIP CONTINUES AND THAT
THIS FUNDING CYNICAL PART OF
THAT.
AS IF THE ACT HOW HAS THE FIVE
MILLION THAT WE PREVIOUSLY GAVE
IN THOSE FIFTEEN CRAFTS HELP
WHAT WOULD THE RESULTS I GUESS.
AND IT STAFF REPORT TALKS ABOUT
PREVIOUSLY THE INITIAL FUNDING
WAS FIVE MILLION WE'VE GOT
FIFTEEN GRANTS OUT THERE.
YEAH IT'S WORTHY TO NOTE THOUGH
THAT THE FIVE MILLION THE
FIFTEEN GRANTS THAT DATES ALL
THE WAY BACK TO TWO THOUSAND AND
FIVE.
BUT SO IT'S DONE A LOT OF WORK
AT HAND QUITE A FEW YEARS NOW.
AND SO THEY'VE DEVELOPED A LOT
OF STRATEGIC FRAMEWORKS IN
GUIDANCE TO ADDRESS A LOT OF
ISSUES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO
THAT PART OF CALIFORNIA.
AND SAID TO CONTINUE THE
PARTNERSHIP THEY CAN CONTINUE TO
PROVIDE THAT LEADERSHIP AND THAT
GUIDANCE IN THIS ADMINISTRATIVE
SUPPORT WILL HELP THEM TO DO
THAT. IN IN IN TURN THEY GO OUT
AND TRY TO FIND OBVIOUSLY
FUNDING AND SUPPORT FROM OTHER
FOUNDATIONS. ALLEY OPENED OF OUR
STAFF REPORT SAYS THEY'VE
LEVERAGE THIRTEEN MILLION ON
THESE THIS FIVE MILLION DO YOU
HAVE.
A FILER PATENT.
BUT I HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD IN
TERMS OF THEM. AND LEVERAGE.
DEBATE YEAH ARE COMMON IS IT IS
JUST AND CARESSED Y. FUNDING
ADMINISTRATIVE ARM. COSTS TO
ENABLE THE CALIFORNIA
PARTNERSHIP FOR THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY TO DEVELOP A PERMANENT
FUNDING PLAN SHOULD BE ESTATE
RESPONSIBILITY AS HEAD OF A
LOCAL GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY
OR NON GOVERNMENTAL
ORGANIZATION.
RESPONSIBILITY AND SO WE JUST
RECKON THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD
SHOULD WAY THAT EXPENDITURE
AGAINST OTHER GENERAL FUND
PRIORITIES THAT HOUSE.
FINANCE WHY WHY WOULD THIS BE A
STATE RESPONSIBILITY. FUTURE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE WE'VE EVEN
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE
PARTNERSHIP TO CONTINUE ITS WORK
IN THIS PROPOSAL WOULD HOPE.
TO ENSURE THAT.
BUT WE HAVE WHILE FEW PAY HIT
THAT WILL KEEP THE PARTNERSHIP
TO HELP HER. A I GET THAT BUT
WHY WOULD WE NOT TRIED OF
STRUCTURE IT THAT THERE WOULD BE
SOME LOCAL YOU KNOW WE DO WE
HAVE A. WAY TO LEVERAGE MONEY
FROM FUNDS BUT THE LOCAL
PARTNERS TO MEAN THAT YOU'RE
GOING TO BENEFIT FROM PRESCHOOL
PUBLIC EDUCATION IN TWENTY FIRST
CENTURY. TRANSPORTATION AND
WE'RE SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY IN
THE. THE CENTRAL VALLEY ON HIGH
SPEED RAIL AND THERE THEY SEEM
TO BE DOING ENJOYING THAT
ECONOMIC PROSPERITY.
SO IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS THE
PARTNERSHIP HAS.
HAD IN IT RECEIVE AN ANNUAL
GRANT FROM THE JAMES.
IRVINE FOUNDATION SO THEY HAD A
STABLE.
BUT THEY HAVE A.
AN ANNUAL FUNDING SOURCE FOR
THERE TO.
PART THEY'RE ADMINISTRATIVE
COST.
I THINK ENOUGH FUNDING IS NO
LONGER GONNA BE AVAILABLE SO
THEY NEED SOME TIME TO BE ABLE
TO KIND OF DEVELOP A SUSTAINABLE
PLAN. AND SO ARE PROPOSAL
RELEASES CAN HELP TO KEEP THEM
IN BUSINESS AND TO BE ABLE TO
THAT WORK. OKAY THEY GOT SOME
SKIN THE GAME LET'S OPEN UP
PUBLIC HEARING THIS IS PAT.
THIS IS A HALF A MILLION DOLLARS
ONE TIME GENERAL FUND FOR THE
CALIFORNIA PARTNERSHIP FOR THE
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY.
THE.
.
SEARCH FOR SUSTAINABLE FUNDING
PLAN.
