TWENTY FIFTEEN. UNLIKE THANK THE
SENATE RULES COMMITTEE FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION OF MY
REAPPOINTMENT TODAY. AND I WANT
TO THANK GOVERNOR BROWN FOR
ENTRUSTING ME TO CONTINUE
SERVING THE TEACHERS STUDENTS
AND FAMILIES OF CALIFORNIA.
AT THE FIRST GENERATION
IMMIGRANT TO THIS COUNTRY AN
ENGLISH LEARN IN IT LEARNER IN
THE TEXAS EDUCATION SYSTEM AT A
TIME WHEN THERE WERE NO SUPPORT
STRUCTURES FOR CHILDREN. WHO DO
NOT FIT INTO THE TRADITIONAL?
BOX
IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO ME
THAT ALL STUDENTS HAVE EQUAL
ACCESS TO QUALITY PUBLIC
EDUCATION SYSTEM PROMISED BY
THIS COUNTRY.
I HAVE A FAVORITE QUOTE FROM SIR
KEN ROBINSON.
THE QUOTE IS.
TO BE HUMAN IS TO BE ERROR
THAT'S EIICHI AYE OUR AIR.
TO A CANOPY OF POSSIBILITIES.
MY GOAL IS TO USE MY THIRTY
YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AS A PUBLIC
SCHOOL EDUCATOR TO LINE RESEARCH
POLICY AND PRACTICE TO SUPPORT
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS THAT
INSPIRE. ENCOURAGE AND OPEN
OPPORTUNITIES FOR USED TO BE
THEIR BEST POSSIBLE SELF.
IF.
S. RECORD GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME
IS PATRICIA ROCKER AND I AM ALSO
HAPPY AND PLEASED TO BE HERE IN
FRONT OF THIS PANEL TODAY. I
STARTED MY CAREER AS A STUDENT
AND SEGREGATED EDUCATION IN THE
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI. I AM WHAT
WOULD BE IDENTIFIED BY W. E. B.
DUBOSE'S AMONG THE TALENTED
TENTH. NOT BECAUSE I'M A
SPECIALLY GIFTED OR TALENTED BUT
BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE
IN EDUCATION. I SPENT THE
GREATER PART OF MY CAREER AS A
STUDENT HERE IN CALIFORNIA AND
HAD THE BENEFIT OF NOT ONLY AN
ENLIGHTENED EDUCATION SYSTEM
BEGINNING IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
AND GOING TO GRADUATE STUDIES.
BUT I ALSO HAD THE BENEFIT OF
BEING IN EDUCATION PROFESSIONAL
ALSO GOING THROUGH ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL AND TEACHING AND WORKING
IN GRADUATE WORK AS WELL.
I STARTED MY CAREER ON THE STATE
BOARD OF EDUCATION AS AN
APPOINTEE AT THE BEGINNING OF
THE BROWN ADMINISTRATION. AND
I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE IN FRONT OF
THIS PANEL TODAY FOR
RECONSIDERATION TO CONTINUE THAT
WORK.
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE
IT'S NOT JUST THE WORK THAT I DO
WHERE THE EXPERIENCE THAT I
BRING BUT THE OPTION TO
PARTICIPATE IN A VERY LEARN IT.
AND JUST SIGNIFICANT
COMMUNICATION ABOUT EDUCATION
POLICY AND IN A LEARNING
COMMUNITY OF FOLKS COMMITTED TO
THE SAME OUTCOMES IN THE SAME
GOAL. I LOOK FORWARD WITH YOUR
SUPPORT TO BEING ABLE TO
CONTINUE THAT WORK.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
LET ME ASK MR MONNING WOULD YOU
LIKE TO STAR.
YOU MADAM CHAIR.
ONE AND JOIN THE CHAIR IN.
WELCOMING YOU BOTH
CONGRATULATING IN BOTH SON. YEAR
APPOINTMENT SIN MOSTLY TO THANK
YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE A. WE HAD A
VERY WIDE RANGING CONVERSATION
YESTERDAY I WANT TO THANK YOU
BOTH FOR JOINING. JOINING ME IN
MY OFFICE.
YOU'VE BEEN PART OF THAT
TRANSITION AND IMPLEMENTATION
WITH HELL CFF WITH THE EL CAPS
THE DASHBOARD WE COVERED A WIDE
RANGE OF ISSUES SO I THINK. I
HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS AT
THIS POINT.
IN THE PUBLIC HEARING. BUT.
SOMETHING STRIKES ME MADAM CHAIR
OF.
LOW EXERCISE THAT QUESTION BUT
AGAIN THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR
SERVICE ANOTHER YOU WILL MISTER
MONNING.
MISTER BERRYHILL.
THE PRESIDENT NO THE OTHERS I
DON'T HAVE A LOG RARE VOTE MORE
OF A STATEMENT I SUPPOSE.
I HAD THE AUGUST TWENTY
SEVENTEEN AGAIN IN JANUARY
TWENTY EIGHTEEN RULES HEARINGS.
I REYES SEVERAL CONCERNS ROOM
BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS OVER
THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY.
IN A BOAT ALONE CONTROL
ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN
IMPLEMENTATION.
AND THE STATE'S EVERY.
STUDENT SUCCEED ZACH PLAN.
UNFORTUNATELY I STILL HAVE SOME
CONCERNS WITH THE BOARD'S
ACTIONS.
SINCE THEN.
THE WOOD IS CONCERNS. BUT WE'RE
PROBABLY GOING TO BE OF SENATE
DAVID AGAIN LIKE WE ARE MISTER
MIND I THINK YOU FOR YOUR
SERVICE AND WISH YOU THE BEST
THANK YOU.
MISTER VICE CHAIRMAN BUT YOU
BETTER PRESIDENTE OF SUPPORT
BOTH UNIT PASS AN LINDA SUPPORT
YEARS WELL TODAY BUT. THIS IS A
GOOD CHANCE TO CATCH UP ON A ON
A FEW ITEMS THAT YOU'VE BEEN
WORKING ON.
A SO PARENTS EDUCATION ADVOCATES
CONTINUED TO BE CONCERNED THAT
THEY'LL KEPT TEMPLATE LACKS
TRANSPARENCY.
IN YOUR OPINION WHAT MORE NEEDS
TO BE DONE TO IMPROVE
TRANSPARENCY TO SHOW THAT
FUNDING IS BEING USED FOR THE
STUDENTS WITH THE HIGHEST NEEDS.
ENGLISH LEARNERS FOSTER YOUTH
AND LOW INCOME.
SO EITHER ONE CAN START.
SO.
IT SINCE THE LAST TIME I TO
APPEAR BEFORE YOU WE HAVE MADE
SOME. FOR US SOME CHANGES TO THE
EL CAP TEMPLATE THERE'S NOW A
SUMMARY PAGE AND I KNOW THIS
VERY WELL BECAUSE I'M COMPLETING
MY EL CAP FOR MY SCHOOL.
RIGHT NOW. IN FACT AND SO THE
ADDITIONAL PIECES THAT HAS A
SUMMARY AT THE VERY BEGINNING
AREAS.
AND PARTS OF THE TEMPLATE WHERE
IT REQUIRES THAT THE SCHOOL ARE
THE ONLY A.
DEVELOP OR.
.
DISCUSS SPECIFICALLY AREAS OF
THE DASHBOARD IN WHICH THE OF
THE SCHOOL NEEDS TO WORK ON NINE
PARTICULAR SUBGROUPS AND THEN
HOW THOSE SERVICES ARE GOING TO
BE.
HOW THE STUDENTS WILL BE
SUPPORTED AND SO THERE IS NOW
MORE OF THAT INFORMATION UP
FRONT IN THE BEGINNING? AND THEN.
THE TEMPLATE IS ALSO HAS BEEN
REVISED SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT
MORE EASY TO ACCESS AND AND AND
LOOK AT. A IT IS STILL VERY LONG
AND THEN THERE'S ALSO.
IN THE WORK SOME OF FUNDING
THAT AND THE GOVERNOR HAS HAS
PROPOSED FOR US TO. DO SOME WORK
ON THE TEMPLATE SO THAT WE HAVE
SOME SUMMARY OF INFORMATION ON
THE BUDGETARY PIECES AS WELL.
THANK YOU.
YEAH I THINK SAID THIS IS A
LESSON IN WHAT IT MEANS FOR
INVOLVING POLICY WHEN THE EL CAP
TEMPLATE WAS FIRST IMPLEMENTED
WE ALL HAD AN IDEA ABOUT WHAT
THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE
AND WHAT IT WOULD MEAN.
BUT WE HAD A COMMON
UNDERSTANDING OR AT LEAST SOME
AGREEMENTS ON A COMMON
DEFINITION OF WHAT WOULD
OFTEN.
BUT THIS IS AN EXAMPLE BUT
IMPLEMENTATION LOOKS LIKE ONCE
YOU HANDED OFF INTO THE FIELD
IT'S CLEAR THAT MORE GUIDANCE
WAS NEEDED BUT ALSO THE TEMPLATE
NEEDED TO ASKS ANSWER SOME
QUESTIONS THAT WERE NOT
CONSIDERED. WITH EACH SUCCESSIVE
REVISION AND IMPROVEMENT THAT'S
BEEN MADE ON THE TEMPLATE THE
WORK THAT'S BEING ASKED OF
DISTRICTS TO DISCLOSE AND TO
DEVELOP AND EXPLAIN BECOMES
CLEAR AND IS MADE PLAINER. AND I
THINK THAT THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF
WHAT OF WHAT IT MEANS TO DEVELOP
THE TRANSPARENCY IN IT WILL
CONTINUE TO IMPROVE BRAIN SO
MISS AND YOU SAID YOU'RE.
COMPLETELY AND OF THE PROCESS
WITH YOUR SCHOOL SO IT GOES DOWN
TO THE SCHOOL LEVEL. SO WHY S.
PARENTS I COULDN'T LOG INTO. THE
SCHOOLS THAT MY CHILDREN GO TO
AND LOOK AT HOW THEY'RE DOING
BECAUSE I'M A CHARTER SCHOOL IT
IS AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL OF THE EL
CAP IS AT THE LA A DISTRICT
LEVEL. OF THERE IS A SECTION AND
THE EL CAP THAT I HAS OF THOSE
ELLIE A A IDENTIFIES SCHOOLS.
IN AREAS WHERE THEY THEY MIGHT
NEED IT SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENT AND
THEN WITHIN THE TEMPLE IT.
IT ALSO REQUIRES THAT THE ONLY
A IDENTIFY A ANY SPECIFIC
SCHOOLS THAT THEY'RE TARGETING
WITH THEIR FUNDING.
OKAY GREAT.
A EVEN THOUGH PER PUPIL SPENDING
THE CALIFORNIA HAS INCREASED
PROPPING UP THE LEVEL NEEDS TO
BE BUT HAS INCREASED.
THE NATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF
EDUCATION PROGRESS IN TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN RANKS
CALIFORNIA'S SECOND TO LAST IN
FOURTH GRADE MATH SCORES FOR LOW-INCOME STUDENTS. HOW WAS THE
WORK OF THE STATE BOARD HELPING
TO ADDRESS THE STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT GAP IN MATH ACROSS
ALL SUBJECTS?
WELL I THINK THE WORK THAT THE
BOARD HAS DONE FIRST OF ALL TO
FOCUS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS
IS VERY IMPORTANT. THIS THE ARC
OF IMPLEMENTATION BEGAN ALL A
QUITE SOME PERIOD OF TIME AGO
AND.
.
STATE ONLY ADOPTED THE COMMON
CORE AT THAT TIME TO MEET A
FEDERAL OUR MANDATE OR FEDERAL
OBLIGATION FOR A COMPETITION FOR
STATE DOLLARS. THE ACTUAL
IMPLEMENTATION OF THOSE OF THOSE
STANDARDS DIDN'T REALLY BEGIN
UNTIL THE WORK OF THIS BOARD
BEGAN WHICH WAS TO CREATE A
UNIFIED PLAN TO CREATE AN
ORGANIZING STRUCTURE IN A
TEMPLATE. AND GUIDANCE FOR
DISTRICTS ON HOW TO SUPPORT
TEACHER ROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
I THINK THAT OVER TIME THAT WILL
BE A NET CHANGE AND A NET GAIN.
FOR STUDENTS NOT ONLY IN MATH
BUT IN MATHEMATICAL LITERACY
THAT NAY BRETT MEASURES A
CERTAIN TYPE OF MATH ACTIVITY OR
MATH DEVELOPMENT FOR STUDENTS
THE COMMON CORE FOCUSES ON NOT
JUST DEVELOPING. MATHEMATICAL
SKILL BUT MATHEMATICAL LITERACY
IN AN UNDERSTANDING ABOUT HOW
NUMBERS AND SYSTEMS OF MATH WORK
I THINK OVER TIME AS YOU SEE
TEACHER PROFICIENCY WITH
IMPLEMENTING THE COMMON CORE.
AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE OF
pFOR TEACHERS YOU WILL SEEK OUT
THOSE GAINES GUY ACTUALLY SHOW
FOR.
AND I WOULD JUST ADD THAT A WITH
THE DASHBOARD NOW AND THE
INFORMATION AND EVEN AT THE
SUBGROUP LEVEL OF STUDENT
PERFORMANCE IN MATH WILL ALSO
PROP THAT URGENCY AND.
PROVIDE A LIAISON SCHOOLS AND
AWAY COULD REALLY LOOK AT DATA
AND WHAT THEY NEED TO DO MORE IN
THAT AREA.
SEEMS LIKE A RANDOM STATISTIC
KILL SECOND TO LAST IN FOURTH
GRADE MATH SO MAYBE WE CHERRY
PICKED ONE THAT THAT DOESN'T
LOOK GOOD BUT.
THAT'S A LITTLE SHOCKING THOUGH
RIGHT FOR ME I DON'T KNOW WHAT
KIND MATH FOURTH GRADERS DO. I
HAVE A THIRD GRADER. BUT TO BE
SECOND LASTED BUT WHAT WHY IS
THAT WHITE Y. OUR OUR LOW INCOME.
CHILDREN STRUGGLING MORE THAN
THE OTHER YOU KNOW THAT FORTY
OTHER STATES.
WELL THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT
WAYS THERE ARE A LOT OF
DIFFERENT EXCUSES THAT CAN BE
OFFERED BUT I WANT YOU TO THINK
ABOUT WHAT IS WHAT ACTUALLY IT
IS WE'RE DOING WITH MATH MET
MATHEMATICS INSTRUCTION.
BETWEEN THE THIRD AND THE FOURTH
GRADE THE COGNITIVE LOAD THAT'S
GIVEN TO STUDENTS IN GRADE FOUR
IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER AND SICK
REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT MORE WORK
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE PROCESS THAT
WAS DONE TO IMPLEMENT THE MATH
CURRICULUM. WE DIDN'T REALLY DO
IT IN AN ORGANIZED WAY THE
STANDARDS WERE IMPLEMENTED
TEACHERS BEGAN THE INSTRUCTION
WE IMPLEMENTED IN ASSESSMENT BUT
THE WORK TO SUPPORT PROFESSIONAL
LEARNING. TO CRAFT A FRAMEWORK
TO CREATE OUR CURRICULUM TO
SUPPORT THAT INSTRUCTION ALL OF
THOSE THINGS WERE DONE OUT OF
ORDER WE FINALLY HAVE A COMPLETE
SYSTEM FOR MATHEMATICS
INSTRUCTION. PROFESSIONAL
LEARNING AND THE IMPLEMENTATION
PLAN FOR DISTRICTS TO FOLLOW NOW
AND THAT'S NINE YEARS AFTER THE
DECISION WAS MADE TOADOPT AND
IMPLEMENT THE COMMON CORE. SO
THERE IS GOING TO BE THIS FLAG
UNTIL WE ACTUALLY SEE THIS
COMPLETE SYSTEM FULLY
IMPLEMENTED WELL IMPLEMENTED AND
BEING USED IN A WAY THAT'S
CONSISTENT CLEAR TO STUDENTS. I
ALSO WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN WHAT IS
ACTUALLY BEING ASKED OF STUDENTS
IN MATHEMATICS FOR A TIME WE
WERE VERY HAPPY TO SEE STUDENTS
CONNING THEIR MATH FACTS BY ROAD.
AND THAT WAS IT CONSIDERED A
VERY APT MATH STUDENT SO THEY
WOULD BE PREPARED TO GO TO
COLLEGE AND DO AND ENGINEERING
APPLIED MATHEMATICS. BUT
MATHEMATICS IS MORE THAN THAT WE
STARTING ABOUT QUANTITATIVE
ANALYSIS WHICH IS WHAT IS BEING
ADDED IN GRADE FOUR STUDENTS ARE
LEARNING ABOUT HOW MEMBERS ARE
RELATED ABOUT SYSTEMS OF NUMBERS.
AND ALSO TO DO SYSTEMS THINKING
THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM THE NEW
MATH AND I'M GOING TO BE VERY
CAREFUL OF THE LOOK AROUND THE
PANEL. TO SEE HOW MANY OF YOU
ARE ACTUALLY IN FOURTH GRADE AND
DURING THE TIME WHEN NEW MATH
WAS IMPLEMENTED IT'S THE SAME
TYPE OF SEA CHANGE FOR
INSTRUCTION. THAT IS BEING
IMPLEMENTED THE DIFFERENCES
STUDENTS ACTUALLY RULED THIS IS
THE EXAMPLE ALL THE MATTHEW WILL
EVER LEARN IN ALL MATTHEW WILL
EVER NEED.
STUDENTS ARE LEARNING HOW TO BE
LITERATE IN MATHEMATICS NOT JUST
FUNCTIONAL IN MATHEMATICS SO I'M
ACTUALLY GLAD TO SEE OUR
STUDENTS BEGINNING AT THAT POINT
BECAUSE IT TELLS US NOT ONLY
WHAT WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO
BUT AS THEY BEGIN MAKING GAINS.
AND SHOWING THOSE GAMES WE WILL
UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE DOING WELL
WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION WAS VERY
DETAILED ANSWER I HESITATE TO
ASK THE SECOND ONE BECAUSE.
YOU CLEARLY MORE EDUCATE ON THIS
THAT I AM BUT.
I DON'T KNOW WHO'S GOT THE
DISORDER BEING DEAD LAST BUT
LET'S ASSEMBLY MISSISSIPPI WHERE
I'M FROM SO I IS IT DIFFERENT
AND ALABAMA HOW THEY TEACH MATH
I MEAN. AGAIN I I UNDERSTAND
THAT IT'S COMPLICATED AND I I.
UNDERSTOOD MOST OF WHAT YOU SAID.
BUT ISN'T IT UNIVERSAL AND THE
UNITED STATES ON HOW TO TEACH
MATH WIRE OUR KIDS STRUGGLING
MORE THAN THE OTHER STATES ARE.
OKAY SO THAT'S A LEAP THAT'S A
VERY LOADED QUESTION IT IS NOT
EASY THAT WHILE THEY'RE
UNIVERSAL'S ABOUT WOULDN'T THE
OUTCOMES FROM MATH INSTRUCTION
SHOULD BE. AND THERE PROBABLY
SOME UNIVERSAL'S ABOUT WHAT ITS
INSTRUMENT WHAT THE MATH
EXPECTATIONS OUR STUDENTS SHOULD
KNOW THE MULTIPLICATION TABLES
BIAS BY A DATE CERTAIN. BUT NO
WE DON'T ACTUALLY TEACH
MATHEMATICS THE SAME WAY IN THE
STATES.
PART OF THE GOAL OF CREATING THE
COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS WITH
TO CREATE A COMMON SET OF
UNDERSTANDINGS ON A COMMON SET
OF GOALS ABOUT THE APPROACH
WATCHES. THE MATHEMATICAL
INSTRUCTION MATHEMATICAL
THINKING AND MATH LITERACY.
AND WHILE INITIALLY A NUMBER OF
STATES DID IMPLEMENT THE COMMON
CORE NUMBER STATES HAVE STEPPED
BACK FROM THAT AND CHOSEN A
DIFFERENT PATH FOR LOOKING AT
MATH AND FOR CREATING A MANDATE
FOR WHAT MATH INSTRUCTION WOULD
LOOK LIKE. IF THERE WAS A MORE
UNIVERSAL APPROACH TO MATH
INSTRUCTION IN THIS COUNTRY
WOULD BE EASIER TO MAKE
COMPARISONS ABOUT THOSE OUTCOMES
BUT WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE THE
SAME BELIEF OR THE SAME SET OF
STATE CONTENT STANDARDS FOR MATH
INSTRUCTION ACROSS THE COACH
OKAY SO. WHAT WERE BEING TESTED
A LOT AND IN THE OTHER BUT OUR
MATH THE WAY WE TEACH MATH IS
DIFFERENT THAN OTHER STATES?
YES.
BIGELOW ASK IS DEAD LAST
MISSISSIPPI'S DOING OKAY. SO IS
LOOKED AT OTHER AYE THEY BETTER
NOT BE DOING BETTER THAN US
THAT'S ALL WE HAVE IS THAT IF IT
WERE SECOND TO LAST. WEEK BY
THOSE ARE ALL THE QUESTIONS
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CANNELLA MISTER
MONNING.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR I JUST
HAVE A FOLLOW UP QUESTION KIND
OF.
PLAYING OFF SENATOR CANNELLA IS
QUESTION WE TALKED SOME
YESTERDAY ABOUT.
CIRCULAR CHALLENGE CALIFORNIA
HAS WITH
STUDENTS WHO FOR WHOM ENGLISH IS
NOT THEIR FIRST LANGUAGE. THAT
MORNING THURSDAY ANY
INTERSECTION IN SOME OF THEM
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GRADES WERE
STUDENTS MARK ENGLISH PROFICIENT
ARE ALSO.
BEING EXPECTED TO.
PERFORMANCE IN OTHER SUBJECTS
AND. I'D LIKE TO HEAR FROM BOTH
OF YOU JUST BRIEFLY YOU BOTH
HAVE VERY THOUGHTFUL.
COMMENTARIES ON.
AS A STATE AT IN A WAR WE RANK
WITH ENGLISH LEARNERS BUT MY
GUESSES WERE PRAYING NEAR THE
TOP NAM. IN THAT CATEGORY IN
YOUR THOUGHTS ON HOW.
WITH LC FF WE DO PRIORITIZE
FUNDING FOR. DISTRICTS TO HAVE A
CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF ENGLISH
LEARNERS BUT ONE OF MY CONCERNS
I HAVE.
DISTRICTS SEMI SENATE DISTRICT
WHERE THEY FALL BELOW THE
THRESHOLD BUT THEY STILL MAY
HAVE. FORTY PERCENT ENGLISH
LEARNERS SO THEY'RE NOT GETTING
THE BENEFIT OF L. CFF INVESTMENT.
BUT WE'RE STILL HOLDING THEM TO
THE SAME STANDARDS I'D
APPRECIATE YOUR THOUGHTS SON.
HELL WE YOU BOTH HAD VERY
THOUGHTFUL IDEAS ON.
ENGLISH LEARNING RIGHT IT SO THE
ENGLISH LEARNERS AND I DIDN'T
HAVE THE STATS WITH ME YESTERDAY
BUT WE HAVE ONE POINT THREE
MILLION ENGLISH LEARNERS IN THIS
US STUDENTS IN THE STATE. AND
SIX POINT FOUR MILLION OF OUR US
STUDENTS PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS
IN THE STATE'S OF YES WE HAVE A
VERY LARGE NUMBER OF ENGLISH
LEARNERS AND AS I TALKED ABOUT
MY STORY AND LEARNING.
ENGLISH AT OF FINALLY FIGURING
OUT HOW TO.
SPEAK ENGLISH AT THIRD GRADE
THAT WAS MY LAUNCH INTO BEING
SUCCESSFUL IN SCHOOL SO THAT
BASIC FOUNDATION OF. ENGLISH OF
LITERACY IS REALLY THE LAUNCH
PAD FOR ANY OF THE OTHER SUBJECT
AREAS.
SO IT DEFINITELY IS.
A AN AREA OF FOCUS FOR US WE
ADOPTED WE ARE DEFINITELY MUCH
MORE AHEAD WHEN IT COMES TO OUR.
ENGLISH OF DEVELOPMENT OF OUR
OUR CURRICULUM AND ARE.
THE RESOURCES AND OUR ASSESSMENT
FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS AND
THEY THINK YOU'VE SEEN.
STATEWIDE THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING
BETTER IN THOSE AREAS WITH THE
SUPPORT TO ENGLISH LEARNERS.
I DEFINITELY IS NEEDS TO BE A
FOCUS AREA ESPECIALLY IN THE
EARLY GRADE LEVELS.
AND I THINK PART OF WHAT WE'RE
DOING AT THE STATE LEVEL IAN
PUTTING.
.
STANDARDS IN PLACE ALONG WITH
OUR ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
STANDARDS THAT IT THAT SUPPORT
ENGLISH LEARNERS WE'VE DOING
WE'VE GOT.
DOUBT THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
LEARNER ROAD MAP ON THAT
PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE SET OF
GUIDELINES FOR.
IDENTIFYING AND FOR SUPPORTING
ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS
THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREER IN
EDUCATION.
SO I THINK WE HAVE BUT WE'RE
WORKING ON THOSE ASPECTS AND.
DIFFERENT WE'VE GOT THOSE
PIECES ALONG WITH A LITERACY.
LANGUAGE PIECES THAT WE HOPE
WILL NOW.
EVENTUALLY PUSH THESE SOME OF
THESE OTHER AREAS SUBJECT AREAS
IN CONTENT AREAS WELL.
YES WE HOPE THAT THAT WILL COME
IN MISS WRECKERS SAME AREA WELL
WITH THE. AT WITH THE EMPLOYMENT
IN THE TIME I'VE BEEN ON THE
BOARD THIS THE BOARD HAS HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO REVISE FOR
DIFFERENT FRAMEWORKS THINGS
LANGUAGE ARTS FRAMEWORK. THE
MATH FOR A MORE THE HISTORY
SOCIAL SCIENCE FRAMEWORK AND
MOST RECENTLY THE SCIENCE
FRAMEWORK THE HEALTH FRAMEWORK
WILL BE COMING UP FOR FINAL
ADOPTION APPROVAL LATER THIS
YEAR. WHAT WAS IMPORTANT WITH
EACH OF THOSE FRAMEWORKS
BEGINNING WITH THE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE ARTS FRAMEWORK IS THAT
THE STATE MADE A PURPOSEFUL
DECISION TO SCAFFOLD AND
UNDERSTANDING OF THE INSTRUCTION
OF ENGLISH LEARNERS? INTO THE
ACTUAL CONTENT AN OUTLINE OF THE
FRAMEWORK WITH THE FIRST STATE
TO DO SO AND WE WERE THE FIRST
STATE TO CREATE AN ENGLISH
LANGUAGE ARTS ENGLISH LEARNER
FRAME HAVE FOREVER. CONTENT
FRAMEWORK THE CONTENT AND THE
LEARNINGS FROM THAT FRAMEWORK
WAS INCORPORATED INTO EVERY
SINGLE SUBJECT AREA INCLUDING
MATHEMATICS BUT I ALSO WANT TO
REMIND YOU WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
ENGLISH LEARNERS. IT'S IMPORTANT
TO REMEMBER THAT STUDENTS WHO
SPEAK AFRICAN AMERICAN
VERNACULAR ENGLISH ARE ALL SO
ENGLISH LEARNERS BECAUSE THEY
ARE LIKE THE APPOINTED
INTERFERENCE FOR THEM TO SIT
BOTH SYNTACTICAL. AND
PHONOLOGICAL BY IN MY OWN
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU
GIVE A STUDENT WORD PROBLEM THAT
SAYS IF YOU HAVE SEVEN BIRD
SITTING ON A WIRE. AND YOU THROW
A ROCK AT ALL BUT THREE OF THEM
FLY AWAY HOW MANY BIRDS ARE LEFT.
STEVE MOST STUDENTS WHO HAVE WHO
HAVE OBSRVED ANYTHING WILL SAY
NONE ALL BIRDS WILL FLY AWAY
WHEN YOU THROW A ROCK. YET THE
OLD STANDARDS TAUGHT US WE WERE
SUPPOSED TO FIGURE OUT THE MATH
EQUATION SEVEN MINUS FOUR EQUALS
THREE BUT THAT IS NOT THE WAY
OUR CONTENT STANDARDS BEFORE THE
COMMON CORE. ACTUALLY EXPECTED
INSTRUCTION TO BE DONE WE NOW
SCAFFOLD NOT ONLY HOW TO
UNDERSTAND AND UNPACKED THAT
STANDARD FOR INSTRUCTION BUT HOW
TO TEACH IN SCAFFOLD THAT
STANDARD WITH STUDENTS NOT ONLY
ENGLISH LEARNERS LIKE TING. BUT
ENGLISH LEARNERS LIKE ME FROM
THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI.
THANK YOU.
.
THREE I HAVE ASK OF COURSE AGAIN
AND AGAIN.
ABOUT THE DASHBOARD AND OUTREACH
TO PARENTS AND INCREASED
ENGAGEMENT ALL OF THOSE.
THINGS I GUESS I WOULD ASK YOU
JUST FROM AN OVERVIEW
PERSPECTIVE WHAT DO YOU EACH
PERCEIVED TO BE THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGE BEFORE YOU IN THE WORK
THAT YOU'RE DOING AS PART OF.
THE BOARD.
OFFICE OF A QUESTION ESTO AYE.
AYE I SEE IT TOO IS A THE
COMMUNICATION OUT TO PARENTS AND
STAKEHOLDERS AROUND OUR SYSTEM
WE. WE FINALLY NOW HAVE THE
THIRD LEG OF THE STOOL WHEN IT
COMES TO ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM
WE GET WE HAD LCF A FUNDING WE
HAVE THE EL CAP. OF WE NOW NEED
THE DASHBOARD AND THE DASHBOARD
HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED LAST FALL.
AND SO WE NOW HAVE THAT
INFORMATION TO REALLY BE THAT
TRIANGLE WHERE WE COULD LOOK AT
INFORMATION AND THEN UTILIZE
THAT DATA FROM THE DASHBOARD
THEN TO.
WORK WITH ELEAZAR PLAN.
THEY'RE THEY'RE.
THEIR THEIR GOALS AND THEIR
STRATEGIES FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND
THEN UTILIZE THOSE FUNDING AND
RESOURCES WE STARTED OUT WITH
THE FUNDING THEN WE DID THE AL
CAPP AND NOW AND THEN THE
ACCOUNTABILITY DASHBOARD. SO NOW
THAT WE HAVE ALL THREE IN PLACE
HOW DO THEY ALL WORK TOGETHER
AND THAT COMMUNICATION OF THAT
AND GETTING IT OUT TO. ON THE
STAKEHOLDERS ABOUT HOW THEY
SHOULD WORK TOGETHER IS.
ONE CHALLENGE.
AND I THINK THE OTHER CHALLENGE
FOR ME IS. JUST HAVING STUDIED
EDUCATION REFORM AND BEEN AN
EDUCATION FOR THIRTY YEARS I'VE
SEEN MAJOR CHANGES IN EDUCATION
COM AND THEY GO AND THEY COME
AND THEY GO AND THEY DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH TIME TO REALLY GET THEIR
FOOTING. AND MOVE FORWARD AND
WE'VE GOT I THINK WERE WHO HAD
THREE IS A MAJOR MAJOR CHANGES
AND.
CALIFORNIA'S CURRICULUM IT'S
ASSESSMENT AND IT'S
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM OVER THESE
LAST BOARD FIVE YEARS. AND WE
JUST NOW HAVE OUR FOUNDATION AND
WE NEED TO CONTINUE THAT EFFORT
CONTINUE THAT MOMENTUM THAT'S
NOT TO SAY WE CAN'T CONTINUE TO
REFINE IT IN ROOM PROVE UPON
THAT SYSTEM. BUT THAT
PERSEVERANCE TO CONTINUE IT SO
THAT THEM WHAT WE'VE GAINED ON
THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE THESE
LAST FOUR YEARS.
FIVE YEARS CONTINUE.
I THINK THAT IF I HAVE IT ALL
THE TIME I BEEN INVOLVED IN
HAVING POLICY CONVERSATION ABOUT
ACCOUNTABILITY. INEVITABLY
THERE'S THESE COMPARISONS THAT
COME UP LOOKING AT COMPARING OUR
COUNTRY.
JAPAN.
THE LAND OR TO OTHER NATIONS
AROUND THE WORLD AND I ALWAYS
FIND THAT INTERESTING BECAUSE
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
ACCOUNTABILITY THERE'S REALLY
THREE ELEMENTS YOU'RE LOOKING AT
THE WHAT. ALL THE ARTIFACTS IN
THE CUT AND THE ELEMENTS THAT GO
INTO DEFINING THE SCHOOL PROGRAM
THE HOW WOULD IT HOW IT'S GOING
TO BE FUNDED HOW YOU GOING TO
LOOK AT HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN
ALL OF MY YEARS IN EDUCATION
BOTH OF THE STUDENT AS A TEACHER
AND IN DOING THIS WORK WE'RE
FINALLY HAVING THE CONVERSATION
ABOUT WHY. AND IT'S ALSO THE
FIRST TIME I'M ACTUALLY SEEING A
CONSENSUS IN EXPLAINING IN
TALKING ABOUT THE WIDE WE MAY
HAVE DIFFERENT APPROACHES ABOUT
THE. OF THE WHAT HOW TO DO IT
AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE THAT WE
ARE LOOKING FOR AND EVEN THE
DASHBOARD ALLOWS PEOPLE TO
CHOOSE WHAT ELEMENTS THEY WANT
TO FOCUS ON AND LOOK AT. BUT
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE
ACTUALLY HAVING A UNIFORM CLEAR
CONSENSUS IN ANSWERING THE
QUESTION WHY THAT HAS BEEN OUR
GREATEST CHALLENGE AND
MAINTAINING A LASER FOCUS ON
THAT DISCUSSION. AS ESPECIALLY
NOW WERE FOLK WE'RE LOOKING AT
ANOTHER TRANSITION IN THIS
PROCESS IN LEADERSHIP AND
ADMINISTRATION OUR GREATEST
CHALLENGES IS MAINTAINING THE
FOCUS ON THAT WHY. AND THEN IN
ADDRESSING THAT WHY MAKING SURE
WE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE NOT ONLY
THE WAYS THAT WE ASK THAT YOU
ASK DISTRICTS TO RIDE IN THE EL
CAP AND TO GIVE THEM THE TOOLS
TO USE TO DO THIS WORK. BUT TO
MAKE SURE WE CONTINUE
MAINTAINING AND KEEPING THAT
GOAL ON MAINTAINING THAT
CONSENSUS.
WELL THANK YOU IDEA.
AND WE GET STUCK ON THE FOURTH
GRADE MATH AYE QUESTION WAIT'LL
FIFTH GRADE A. MY SISTER SAID
FIFTH GRADE WAS THE HARDEST. ON
THE BED AT YOU. YOU KNOW I JUST.
HOW DO YOU YOU YOU MENTIONED IT
A IN YOUR COMMENTS JUST NOW MISS
RECORD?
AND THE FRUSTRATION OF I MEAN WE
HEAR ALL THE TIME WHERE WE ARE
IN A COMPARISON AND RANKED
AGAINST OTHER PEOPLE.
AND WHETHER ITS IN MASS OR ANY
NUMBER OF OTHER FUNDING AYE A
HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO A YEAH I
MEAN HOW WE EDUCATE THE PUBLIC.
ABOUT THAT APPLES AND ORANGES
COMPARISON I MEAN IF THIS IS THE
SOURCE
COMPARISONS WE HEAR ALL THE TIME.
A IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND I JUST
YOU KNOW IT'S REALLY HARD FO
THOSE OF US WHO ARE NOT EXPERTS
IN EDUCATION.
TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND SOMETIMES
TO THESE QUESTIONS OF WHERE
CALIFORNIA RANKS.
AND AND YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY GOING
FORWARD. I IN A COUPLE OF YEARS
AS WE SEE YOU BACK HERE.
YOU KNOW YOU'LL BE ABLE TO KIND
OF HAVE A BASELINE OF WHAT WHAT
WE SAID TODAY IN WHAT YOU'VE
OUTLINED TO US DOCTOR SON. OF.
WHERE WE ARE NOW AND WE'LL HAVE
SOME WAY TO DO ARE REAL ANALYSIS
ARM?
BUT TO HELP US IN TERMS OF HOW
WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR.
CONSTITUENTS.
IT YEAH I MEAN IT BECAUSE I MEAN
THOSE ARE RANKED.
YEAH YOU KNOW I HAVE DISCUSSIONS
ALL THE TIME WITH PEOPLE WHO
QUESTIONED ME ABOUT WHERE WE ARE
RANKED AS CALIFORNIA. NOT JUST
IN FOURTH GRADE MATH SCORES BUT
OTHER AREAS DO NOT GET THESE
QUESTIONS ALL THE TIME. GIVE ME
YOUR THIRTY SECOND ELEVATOR
RESPONSE
WELL IN TRAVELING ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AS I DO FOR A LOT OF BY
PROJECTS WHEN I HEAR WHEN I
TRAVEL TO OTHER STATES. PEOPLE
ARE SUDDENLY PAYING ATTENTION TO
WHAT'S COME COME TO BE KNOWN AS
THE CALIFORNIA WAY. AND SO WHAT
ARE THE HALLMARKS OF THE
ELEMENTS OF THAT PARTICULAR
APPROACH.
IT'S FOCUSING ON THE LOCAL
CONTROL AND THE LOCAL DECISION
MAKING BUT ALSO THE EDUCATION
THAT WE ARE DOING WITH OUR
STAKEHOLDERS TO BRING THEM ALONG
AS WE ARE IMPLEMENTING THIS. THE
PART OF AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF
THE CALIFORNIA WAYS WE'VE
DEVELOPED A COMFORT WITH LIVING
WITH THAT QUESTION AND
UNDERSTANDING THE ANSWERS ARE
DEFENDER DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THE
PRIORITIES ARE NOT AHEAD I'M NOT
A TOP DOWN. STAGE WE'VE INSTEAD
OF PRIORITIES BUT THEY ARE VERY
MUCH GROUNDED IN INFORMED BY A
LOCAL CONTEXT SO BECAUSE WE'RE
CHOOSING TO GO ABOUT THIS IN A
DIFFERENT WAY WE ARE CHOOSING
ALSO. TO LIVE WITH THAT QUESTION
AND ALLOW OURSELVES NOT TO BE
COMPARED BY WHAT OTHER PLACES
HAVE DONE BECAUSE THERE LOCAL
CONTEXT IS NOT OURS.
THAT'S BASICALLY THE APPROACH I
AM FOCUSING ON WHAT IS THE
CALIFORNIA WAY HAS AND THAT'S
THE QUESTION I GET ASKED AND
PEOPLE ARE FINDING PROBABLY WE
HAVE FIGURED OUT THE
ARCHITECTURE OF ADDRESSING IT.
I I WOULD COMPLETELY AGREE WITH
THAT RESPONSE AS WELL WE WE.
CALIFORNIA IS SO UNIQUE IT IS
SO DIFFERENT.
THAN SOME OF THESE OTHER STATES
AND IT ALSO DEPENDS ON WHAT
YOU'RE USING AS THE. A. THE
RULER THE MEASUREMENT RIGHT AND
A. ARE YOU HAVE FOUND THAT.
WE ARE FRAMEWORK UNDER EL CFF
IS AROUND THAT LOCAL CONTEXT
AND ALLOWING THAT LOCAL COME A
CONTROL BECAUSE WE DO HAVE
LOCALLY ELECTED BOARDS THAT ARE
IN CHARGE OF THEIR DISTRICTS.
AND SO THEY ARE THE ONES THAT
ARE MOST HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THE
RESULTS IN THEIR AREAS AND WE
NEED TO ALLOW THEM THAT
FLEXIBILITY DO THAT IF WE TAKE
OUT INTO MORE OF A NATIONAL
CONTEXT.
CALIFORNIA NEEDS TO FIND ITS WAY
BECAUSE WE ARE ALSO VERY UNIQUE
AND I THINK.
WHEAT WE ARE VERY THOUGHTFUL
AND HOW WE APPROACH.
THIS SYSTEM THAT WE ARE IN
RIGHT NOW IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THAT SYSTEM THROUGH RESEARCH AND
THROUGH STAKEHOLDER INPUT AND WE
DO FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THE
CALIFORNIA WAY IS THE RIGHT WAY.
IF YOU AND JUST GIVING AN
EXAMPLE FOR LIVE FROM TAXES.
.
YES THE TAXES OF A SINGLE TAX I
GET A GOOD EDUCATION TEXAS
BUT. I HAD TO BUY MY WIFE OWN
ACCESS INTO THAT EDUCATION
SYSTEM. IN CALIFORNIA WE ARE
REALLY LOOKING AT EQUITY AND
ACCESS AND WE ARE OPENING THE
DOORS UP FOR ALL STUDENTS TO BE
SUCCESSFUL.
SO THAT'S A DIFFERENT THAT'S A
DIFFERENT APPROACH THAN THIS IS
OUR SYSTEM AND YOU NEED TO
BELONG TO YOU DON'T.
THANK YOU. BOMBED MISTER ROTH DO
YOU ARE YOU ARE AT A POINT WHERE
YEAR.
GOOD OKAY THANK YOU LET ME ASK
OF THOSE WHO ARE HERE IN SUPPORT
OF OUR.
OUR APPOINTEES TO COME FORWARD.
GOOD AFTERNOON ON BEHALF OF THE
I'M LAURIE STERLING ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS

THANK YOU AND. GOOD AFTERNOON
CHAIR RECKONS AND MEMBERS OF THE.
COMMITTEE AND STAFF.
AND I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BEFORE
YOU TODAY TO.
A. ASK YOUR CONSIDERATION FOR MY
REPORT TO THE BOARD OF FORESTRY
AND FIRE PROTECTION.
AS YOU.
AS YOU MAY KNOW I'VE HAD THE
PRIVILEGE OF SERVING ON THE
BOARD FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS.
AND UP OVER THAT TIME AT WORK
IT'S BEEN MOST CLOSELY
ASSOCIATED WITH FORCE PRACTICE
COMMITTEE.
AND THAT IS THE COMMITTEE THAT
DEALS WITH RULES AND REGULATIONS
PERTAINING TO FORGE PRACTICES
AND.
PROTECTING.
FORCE RESOURCES.
A LOT.
A FEW HIGHLIGHTS OF THAT WORK
FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS HAS BEEN
A REVISION OF THE.
RULES PERTAINING TO FORCED ROADS.
THAT.
HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT POTENTIALLY
ON WATER QUALITY.
AND ALSO.
.
CREATING REGULATIONS TO PROVIDE
FLEXIBILITY MAINTAINING CRITICAL
OF. WOODLAND HABITAT IN
MONTAIGNE IN FUHRMAN'S.
I HAD PROVIDE LANDOWNERS THE
TOOLS TO DO THAT UNDER THE
FOREST PRACTICE RULES SO I THINK
THAT'S.
WAS. A BIG STEP FORWARD WITH
RESPECT TO.
THE.
WORKING IN THOSE KINDS OF OUR
MISS SOME OF THE FOREST
PRACTICES ACT.
BUT ASIDE FROM THE SPECIFIC
ISSUES THAT'S BEEN IMPORTANT FOR
ME OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS TO
SIMPLY BE PREPARED.
EACH TIME I SHOW UP MEETINGS.
CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISCUSSION ON
THE. VERY WIDE ARRAY OF ISSUES
THAT THE BOARD ENTERTAINS.
TO LISTEN TO AND LEARN FROM
AGENCY IN PUBLI COMMENT.
AND.
TO BRING TO BEAR THE EXPENSE
THAT I'VE GAINED OVER THIRTY
FIVE YEARS OF PRACTICING
FORESTRY HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
AND.
TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY.
COLLABORATIVELY WITH MY.
FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS TO.
REACH CONSENSUS AND RESOLUTION
ON THE ISSUES AT HAND.
A. WITH RESPECT TO MY GOALS FOR
THE UPCOMING TOURNAMENTS.
CERTAIN THAT.
THE BORDER RESPOND IMMEDIATELY
TO THE BORG TO THE GOVERNOR'S
RECENT EXECUTIVE ORDER.
REGARDING.
WILDFIRES AND THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE FORCE
CARBON PLAN THAT WAS. RELEASED
AT THE SAME TIME LAST WEEK.
AND.
THAT FORCE CURRENT PLAN IS
DESIGNED TO ADDRESS NOT ONLY THE
SEQUESTRATION OF CARBON BUT ALSO.
OF THE OTHER ARM URGENT ISSUES
AFFECTING FORCE IN STATE TODAY
THAT HAS DROUGHT MORTALITY AND.
WILDFIRES SO BY ADDRESSING
OVERALL FORCE RESILIENCY.
THE CARBON PLAN WILL BASICALLY
GET TO THE ROOT CAUSE OF ALL
THESE ISSUES.
THAT IS OVER STOCKTON ON HEALTHY
FORESTS.
THE SAME TIME BEHEADED CARBON
SEQUESTRATION.
REDUCE FIRE WILDFIRE RISK.
AND TOM.
HOPEFULLY AFFECT DROUGHT
MORTALITY AS WELL.
SO ASIDE WITH THE BOARD DOES
HAVE SOME SPECIFIC SPECIFIC
TASKS THAT WORSE THAT ARE HAVE
BEEN ASSIGNED AND THE GOVERNOR'S
EXECUTIVE ORDER.
AB SIDE UP BESIDE THOSE IT'LL BE
INCUMBENT ON THE BOARD TO
ADDRESS SOME OF THE BROADER.
OUR OBJECTIVES OF THE FORCE
CARBON PLAN. IN PARTICULAR.
FOR EXAMPLE OF.
THE CALL TO TREAT HALF A MILLION
ACRES.
A YEAR OVER THE NEXT
TEN YEARS RATHER THAN THE
CURRENT ABOUT HALF HALF A
MILLION ACRES SO. THAT'S GONNA
REQUIRE. A HUGE EFFORT ON THE
PART OF.
THE BOARD'S INPUT TO TRY TO
ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS.
.
COURSE WE DID HAVE IN THE
CONTEXT OF WHAT THE BOARD HAD
BEEN DOING UP TILL THIS POINT
WE'VE HAD.
.
ISSUES PERTAINING TO. A REVIEW
OF STALKING THAT IS THE DENSITY
AND SIZE OF TREES THAT ARE LEFT
AFTER.
HARVESTING OPERATIONS.
AND TALK ABOUT IS SOMETHING THAT
I'D LIKE TO. SEE HER AND.
.
EFFECTUATE A CHANGE IN THE WAY
LANDOWNERS.
.
MANAGE YOUR PROPERTY WITH
STALKING RULES CAN AFFECT FORCED
HEALTH WITH RESPECT TO DENSITY.
.
WITH RESPECT TO.
BECAUSE THE ECONOMICS OF OF
HARVESTING THAT.
THAT IS CURRENTLY ARE.
ELIMINATING THE SMALL LANDOWNER
FROM MANAGING THEIR FORESTS.
AND SO THAT I THINK IS MY
PRIMARY CONCERN. ANOTHER.
GOAL I HAVE IS.
TO.
ADDRESS WELL IN THE CONTEXT OF
COURSE IN THE FORGE PRACTICE
COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD IS A
WHOLE. WE WILL BE ADDRESSING
SPOTTED OWLS NORTHERN SPOTTED
OWL HOW THAT'S TREATED UNDER THE.
UNDER THE.
FORCE PRACTICE RULES AND THAT'S
REALLY VITALLY IMPORTANT TO.
MAINTAINING THE VIABILITY SMALL
FORCE LANDOWNERS.
TO PRACTICE FORESTRY.
AND ARE TRY TO FIND A WAY TO.
A. DEAL WITH PROTOCOLS FACT BEEN
SPOTTED HOUND STILL.
A BE ABLE TO PRACTICE FORESTRY.
AND SO AND SO DOING HOPEFULLY WE
CAN.
.
SHE SOME OF THESE LARGER GOALS
OF MAINTAINING RESILIENCY AND.
I REDUCING WELFARE THREAT.
UNDER FOREST'S.
THANK KICKING
MISTER RIGHT.

I'VE BEEN ON BOARD FOR FOUR
YEARS.
AND MY PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE
PRIOR TO RETIREMENT WAS AS.
FEDERAL WILDLAND FIRE MANAGER.
SO THAT'S THAT'S THE AREA OF
BOARD BUSINESS.
THAT I'D BEEN MOST INVOLVED AT.
IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS I'VE
LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE FIRST
PRACTICE RULES AND THINGS THAT
I'D.
DID NOT HAVE. QUITE AS MUCH FOR
MILITARY DUTY WITH PARTICULARLY
FROM.
.
MEMBER WAY WHO HAS. EDUCATED ME
IN SO MANY WAYS ABOUT. FORESTRY
IN CALIFORNIA.
THE.
.
DURING THE FOUR YEARS THAT I'VE
BEEN MOST I'VE BEEN ON THE
FOREST ON THE RESOURCE
PROTECTION COMMITTEE WHICH DEALS
WITH FIRE ISSUES AND.
I AND NOW THE CHAIR OF THE
RESOURCE PROTECTION COMMITTEE

VERIFYING OF THE FOREST PRACTICE
RULES AND MAKING SURE HAT THEY.
DO WHAT THEY'RE INTENDED TO DO.
I LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER FOUR
YEARS ON THE BOARD I'M REALLY
EXCITED ABOUT THE GOVERNOR'S
PROCLAMATION AND OUR STRATEGIC
FIRE PLAN. AND THE WAYS IN WHICH
WE CAN MOVE FORWARD ON BETTER
MANAGEMENT OF CALIFORNIA FOR
FORESTLANDS ANOTHER WILD LANDS.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND.
LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER CHASE.
GOOD AFTERNOON I'M CHRIS CHASE
FROM MOUNT SHASTA AND I REALLY
APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE
HERE I'M.
WAS APPOINTED BY THE GOVERNOR
LAST AUGUST OF THIS IS MY OF MY
FIRST TERM ON. ON THE BOARD.
MY WIFE AND FOUR KIDS ARE BUSY
TRYING TO WRAP UP THE SCHOOL
YEAR SOMEONE ABLE TO MAKE IT
DOWN TODAY BUT I WOULD LIKE TO
HAVE HAD THEM HERE.
I AM A REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL
FORESTER WITH OVER TWENTY YEARS
OF EXPERIENCE IN THE FOREST AND
WOOD PRODUCTS INDUSTRY.
I'VE GOT A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN
FORESTRY FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF
MONTANA AND A MASTERS OF
BUSINESS MANAGEMENT FROM
SOUTHERN OREGON UNIVERSITY.
I'M THE TIMBERLAND MANAGER FOR
A COMPANY CALLED MICHIGAN
CALIFORNIA TIMBER COMPANY.
THE FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS THAT
OWNS AND MANAGES ABOUT A HUNDRED
AND FIFTEEN THOUSAND ACRES IN.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
PREDOMINATELY SISKIYOU COUNTY.
MOST OF THE TIMBER PROCUREMENT
MANAGER FOR ARE AFFILIATED
COMPANY IMBER PRODUCTS WHICH
JONES.
NINE MANUFACTURING FACILITIES
TWO OF WHICH ARE IN CALIFORNIA
VENEER MILL IN Y. RICA.
AND THE PARTICLE BOARD MAIL IN
MARK TELL.
WE BUY LOGS AND TIMBER FROM
SMALL LANDOWNERS LARGE
LANDOWNERS LE THE US FOREST
SERVICE THE BLM AND.
STATE AGENCIES AS WELL.
I'M.
THE IMMEDIATE PAST CHAIRMAN OF
THE CALIFORNIA FORESTRY
ASSOCIATION.
AND I'M ON THE BOARD OF A
COUPLE OTHER. ASSOCIATIONS
AMERICAN FOREST RESOURCE COUNCIL
WHICH ADVOCATES FOR.
.
MANAGEMENT ON FEDERAL
TIMBERLANDS AND THE EDUCATIONAL.
FOREST FOUNDATION.
THE MOST OF MY CAREER'S BEEN IN
CALIFORNIA I HAVE PRACTICE
FORESTRY AND BLOGS AND FOR OTHER
STATES AND PROVINCES AROUND THE
COUNTRY BUT. SPENT THE BULK OF
MY TIME HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
I'VE GOT A LOT OF EXPERIENCE
WORKING WITH THE FOREST SERVICE
AND AND THE BLM BOTH AS A
PURCHASER OF TIMBER AND TIMBER
SALES. AND ALSO WAS AN ADJACENT
LANDOWNER.
I REGULARLY ENGAGE WITH THE
AGENCIES ON FIRE PREVENTION AND
SUPPRESSION ACTIVITIES SO THAT
BEEN ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN
NUMEROUS.
WILDFIRES OVER THE YEARS BOTH
THE INITIAL ATTACK AND ALSO
LARGE.
INCIDENT COMMAND TEAM.
FIRES.
THE MOST ENJOYABLE PART OF MY
JOB THOUGH IS.
INTERACTING WITH SMALL NON
INDUSTRIAL TIMBERLAND OWNERS.
THIS SECTOR TENDS TO UNDER MAN
UNDER MANAGE ITS LANDS IN
CALIFORNIA.
AND I FEEL LIKE I'VE GOT A
REALLY THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING OF
THE ECONOMIC AND REGULATORY
BARRIERS THAT INHIBIT MANAGEMENT
OF.
OF LANDS IN THAT SECTOR.
.
I FIND IT AN ENVIRONMENTALLY AND
ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE PATH
FORWARD. IS ESSENTIAL FOR THIS
SECTOR TO AVOID CONVERSION.
AND IMPROVE FOREST HEALTH.
ON THE NON INDUSTRIAL LANDS.
AGE YOU'RE ALL WELL WHERE MUCH
OF THE THIRTY THREE MILLION
ACRES OF FOREST LAND CALIFORNIA
ISN'T AN UNSUSTAINABLE CONDITION.
ACCORDING TO THE FOREST CARBON
PLAN ABOUT FIFTEEN MILLION ACRES
ABOUT FORTY FIVE PERCENT.
OF THE FOREST LAND BASE IN
CALIFORNIA IS IN NEED OF SOME
SORT OF BRIEF.
RESTORATION TREATMENT.
A CENTURY OF FIRE SUPPRESSION
AND INADEQUATE MANAGEMENT IS
CONTRIBUTED TO THE TREE
MORTALITY EPIDEMIC.
AND THE LOSS OF FORESTS TO HIGH
INTENSITY WILDFIRE.
IF THE STATE'S GONNA MEET ITS
CARBON SEQUESTRATION GOALS IN
THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
THEN WE MUST INCREASED THE PACE
AND SCALE MANAGEMENT AT THE
LANDSCAPE LEVEL.
TO BE SUCCESSFUL. MANAGEMENT
MUST BE ECOLOGICALLY SOUND AND
ECONOMICALLY VIABLE.
I THINK ABOUT MY GOAL FOR MY
TERM ON THE BOARD.
IT'S TO HEP THE BOARD ENACT
ECONOMICALLY SUSTAINABLE
POLICIES THAT ENABLE AND
ENCOURAGE SOUND STEWARDSHIP OF
OUR FORCE IN RANGE LANDS.
SPECIFICALLY I LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING ON THE FOLLOWING.
SMALL LANDOWNER OPTIONS FOR
HARVESTING.
ISSUES PERTAINING TO THE
CONVERSION OF TIMBERLAND.
REVIEW OF FOR THE REQUIRED
POSTHARVEST STOCKING LEVELS.
REVIEW OF EXEMPTIONS AND ANY
BARRIERS THAT MAY HAVE THEY MAY
HAVE OR MAY PRESENT TO NON
INDUSTRIAL TIMBERLAND OWNERS.
AND THEN WORKING WITH THE
DEPARTMENT AND OTHERS TO
ENCOURAGE AND ENABLE THE U. S.
FOR SERVICE IN THE PLM TO
INCREASE THE PACE AND SCALE OF
TREATMENTS ON FEDERAL LANDS.
LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE
BOARD AGENCIES AND STAKEHOLDERS
TO IMPLEMENT THE GOVERNOR'S
EXECUTIVE ORDER. THE STRATEGIC
FIRE PLAN AND OTHER POLICY
INITIATIVES.
TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND
RESILIENCE OF CALIFORNIA'S FORCE
AN ECONOMY.
THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
HE VERY MUCH MISTER CHASE LET ME
START WITH.
MR BERRYHILL.
YOU CAN GROWING CHAIR OF FIRE
WITH DILIGENCE KINDA MY THING.
BUT I OF A PLACE OPEN SUGAR PINE
AND TWELVE AND COUNTY.
RIGHT IN THE HEART OF LOVE.
A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
I'M GOOD AT SEVERAL QUESTIONS IT
IS CRUCIAL AND HAS TO DO WITH
CAMPING TRIP PHONES.
AND IT IS WHOSE TO BLAME WAYS TO
LET OFF TODAY BUT.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SAVE IT FOR
YOU GUYS TO SPECIFICALLY. SO.
LET ME START OUT BY SAYING TO
YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE YEAH YOU'RE
IT'S A BIG JOB IN IMPORTANT JOB
TO DO IT.
.
HAVE ANY OF YOU ANY BRIEFINGS ON
HOW THE TWO HUNDRED TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS
pYEAR'S BUDGET. IS BEING SPENT ON.
THE GOVERNOR WAS VERY GOOD IN IN
ALLOCATING THOSE FUNDS HOW WE
SPENT IN THE.
IN THIS IS FOR ANYBODY CAN A
ANYBODY CAN ANSWER THAT.
I USED TO MISTER WADE.
YES SAID.
TODAY WE DON'T WE DON'T REALLY
GET SPECIFIC.
ARE.
REPORTS.
ABOUT.
THE DETAILS.
UP WHERE THE WHERE THE MONEY
GOES.
.
IT'S A LITTLE DISCONCERTING YOU
KNOW.
COLOR MONEY.
YEAH I KNOW. OF THAT TO EARN
TWENTY MILLION THEIR WARES.
.
COURSE.
FORCES ALLOCATED TO THE URBAN.
URBAN FORESTRY PROGRAM AND FORCE
LEGACY PROGRAM.
AND I KNOW THAT.
IN DEALING WITH CAL FIRE ON
PARTICULAR.
GRATS THAT WE HAVE.
IN MY PART OF THE WORLD OTHER
ARE COUNTY THERE ARE GOING
TOWARD.
FUEL REDUCTION PROJECTS
THAT IN INVOLVED MASTICATION
REDUCTION OF FUEL OPENING THE
CANOPY AND THEN CALLING UP
PRESCRIBED BURNING.
OFFER OF THE UNDERSTORY. PUT A
KNOW THEIR MONEY'S BEING
ALLOCATED BECAUSE UP IN MY AREA
THEIR DAY TREVOR THE HECK OUT OF
THAT PLACE.
AND IT'S IT'S YOU GRINNING DOG
BECAUSE.
IT'S NEXT IN WAITING TO HAPPEN.
ARE ANY OF YOU AWARE OF ANY
REGULATORY OR BUREAUCRATIC. OR
BUREAUCRATIC ROADBLOCKS DELAYING
THE RELEASE OF THESE FUNDS TO
LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
AGAIN AGAINST THE SAME ANSWER
YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW WOULD.
THEY ARE CUTTING TIMBER.
BUT.
WHETHER BMI AND MY UNDERSTANDING
IS THAT THE FUNDS WERE ALLOCATED
TO CAL FIRE FOR DISPOSITION AND
CAL FIRE DOES PROVIDE PROVIDE
REPORTS GENERAL REPORTS ON A ON
A MONTHLY BASIS DIED.
YOU KNOW IN THE IN THE
DIRECTOR'S REPORT TO THE BOARD
AS FAR AS YOU KNOW THAT. THE
DISPOSITION OF THOSE FUNDS.
BUT BUT THE BOARD DOES DOES NOT
HAVE DIRECT OVERSIGHT OVER THOSE.
THOSE EXPENDITURES THEM THE MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THE MONEY WAS
ALLOCATED TO CAL FIRE.
BUT THE THE MONEY IS ALLOCATED
TO CAL FIRE. AND WE WE DO KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE SPENDING IT ON BUT.
I THINK YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE
BOARD OF FORESTRY AND FIRE
PROTECTION DOES NOT HAVE
REGULATORY AUTHORITY OVER CAL
FIRE ON HOW THE MONEY IS
ALLOCATED.
WE DO PROP PROVIDE STRATEGIC
DIRECTION. TO CAL FIRE.
PARTICULARLY THROUGH.
.
THE AND WE'VE JUST COMPLETED THE
TWENTY EIGHTEEN STRATEGIC FIRE
PLAN THAT SETS GOALS AND
OBJECTIVES FOR HOW THAT MONEY
WILL BE SPENT.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT
THE BOARD IS MOST INVOLVED WITH
RELATED TO HOW CAL FIRE.
.
EXPENSES FUNDS THE DISTRIBUTION
OF GRANDSON I THINK THAT'S WHAT
YOU'RE GETTING AT. THE GROUNDS
TO FIRE SAFE COUNCILS LOCAL
COMMUNITIES.
AND OTHER GROUPS THAT ARE AT THE
GRASSROOTS LEVEL ARE.
.
ARGH GOING OUT AND DOING FEELS
PROJECTS YOU KNOW THINGS LIKE.
COMMUTING EACH COMMUNITY
CHIPPER PROGRAMS.
PEOPLE GET TOGETHER AND AND
WORK TOGETHER TO BUILD UEL
BREAKS COOPERATIVE EFFORTS.
SUCH AS THE EFFORT ALONG HIGHWAY
FIFTY TWO.
DO FEELS REDUCTIONS WERE WITH
THE FOREST SERVICE AND THE STATE
AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
THE.
WE CERTAINLY COULD PROVIDE YOU
WITH HOW CAL FIRE HAS SPENT THE
MONEY. BUT AGAIN.
THE BOARD OF FORESTRY DOES NOT
THE MONEY GOES TO CAL FIRE IN
THE AND THE BOARD OF FORESTRY AT
THIS POINT DOESN'T HAVE.
THE.
THE AUTHORITY TO TELL CAL FIRE
HAD TO EXPEND THAT BUT WE DO.
THAT A GOOD PORTION OF THAT
MONEY OF COURSE IS GOING TOWARDS.
PREVENTION ACTIVITIES OF ALL
TYPES AND THOSE INCLUDE. YOU
KNOW A FULL RANGE OF ACTIVITIES.
STARTING WITH A PREVENTED
TRADITIONAL PREVENTION WITCHES
PREVENTING FIRES.
GOING ONTO OTHER KINDS OF
PREVENTION ARE FEELS PROJECTS
THAT ARE DONE AT THE.
CALPERS UNIT LEVEL. AND ALSO.
.
THE. INTERACTION WE HAVE. AS A
AS A BOARD AND ASK HELLFIRE WITH.
STATE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
TO REVIEW SAFETY ELEMENTS
ANTITHESIS
STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT WITH.
INSPECTIONS YOU KNOW OF.
AROUND HOUSES DEFENSIBLE SPACE
ALL THAT SORT OF THING.
BUT.
I KNOW THAT THE DIRECTOR COULD
PROVIDE YOU WITH THE SPECIFICS
OF EXACTLY HOW THE FUNDING IS
BEEN SPENT WITH AND CAL FOR IF
YOU WOULD LIKE. YOU CAN YOU TELL
ME WHAT THE BOARD'S ROLE IS IN
THE NEW FORCE MY PASSPORT.
IN THE NEW FOREST MANAGEMENT
TASK FORCE WE HEARD ABOUT IT AT
THE SAME TIME THE BOARD DEAD.
AS AS YOU DID.
A THE.
BOARD WILL BE BRIEFED AT OUR
NEXT MEETING.
ON THE EXACT MAKEUP OF THAT TASK
FORCE AND WHAT THE
RESPONSIBILITIES ARE.
SO. WE'RE VERY INTERESTED
KNOWING THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER.
MEMBER CHASE REMEMBER WAY TO
HAVE ANY MORE INFORMATION WE'RE
LOOKING FORWARD TO THEM.
TO A BRIEFING ON THAT TOPIC
BATTERY MEET OUR NEXT MEETING IN
JUNE.
BUT TO SUTURE MAN OF SUCH A
MASSIVE PROBLEM. YET.
TOTALLY AGREE.
BURDEN THIS QUESTION JUST MOVING
ON. THE GOVERNOR RESILIENT
ANNOUNCED AN ADDITIONAL NINETY
SIX MILLION DOLLARS TO COME BACK
TREE MORTALITY. AND IMPROVE FOR
ITSELF
FISCAL ORDERS BEEN REALLY GOOD.
I MEAN WE GOT A MILITARY SAW THE
CATASTROPHE THAT WE'RE ALL
LOOKING AT YOU THINK YOU'RE MY
NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR UP THERE.
GEORGE TO.
YES YOU ARE.
I DON'T LIVE UP THERE BUT I DO
YOU I DO I'M A SMALL A VERY
SMALL FOREST LANDOWNER YEAH. UP
AND GEORGE IT'S NOT SMALL WOODEN
GOOD FIFTY DID TRUE CERTAIN ON
THAT.
WELL AND WE GOT RID OF THOSE SO.
WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT WE WERE
ABLE TO HAVE THEM REMOVED.
OTHER TREE MORTALITY TASK FORCES
IS IS THAT YOUR QUESTION.
ACTUALLY MEMBER WADE I HATE TO.
FOR SUM INTO THIS BUT MEMBER
WADE REPRESENTS THE BOARD. ON
THE TREE MORTALITY TASK FORCE IN
HE BRIEFS THE REST OF THE BOARD
MONTHLY ON THEIR ACTIVITIES SO
HE'S PROBABLY THE BEST PERSON TO
ANSWER THAT QUESTION KNOW YOU
START ON THE REMAINING GOING THE.
STARS IS A DISASTER.
AND. WHEN WE GO THERE'S A LOT OF
DEAD TREES ARE THERE STILL.
DON'T DO DIG WITH JAVA GET RID
OF ALL OF THEM TOO THOUGH.
YEAH SO.
YOUR QUESTION WAS A NINETY SIX
BILLION DOLLARS.
I THINK THAT WAS ALLOCATED TO
FURTHER THE.
OBJECTIVES OF THE FORCE CARBON
EXACTLY. TAKEN.
FORCED CARBON PLAN.
SO THAT.
.
GET MY SPLIT AMONGST.
.
FURTHER FORCE HELP PROJECTS IN
THE SIERRA.
THE COAST RANGE AND OTHER PARTS
OF CALIFORNIA AS WELL.
AND I THINK IT'S BASICALLY
DESIGNED TO.
.
IMPLEMENT A.
THE ARE VEGETATION MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM THE VTP PIII ARE THAT
THE BOARD.
IS.
.
PASSING ARE GETTING THROUGH.
.
WE'VE WE'VE DEVISED SAID THE
IDEA IS THAT.
IT PROVIDES A PROGRAMMATIC.
.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT FOR
CHALFORD TO DOUBLE THE SIZE OF
ITS.
.
OF IT'S TREATMENTS FROM THIRTY
TO SIXTY THOUSAND ACRES A YEAR
MORE LAUGHS.
AND SO THAT WATER THAT'S
ALLOCATED TO THOSE RESOURCES.
AND THAT KNOWING WHEN YOU DON'T
HAVE A TREATMENT.
COMING BURKE TREATMENTS FOR YOU
ARE YOU TREATING INDIVIDUAL
TREES
THOUGH IT.
IT'S.
THE VEGETATIVE TREATMENT PROGRAM
WOULD BE COMBINATION OF.
.
MECHANICAL TREATMENTS SO
THINNING OR REDUCING BRUSH
MASTICATION.
.
A SMALL AMOUNT OF HERBICIDE ADAM
IS ALLOCATED LEAST COVERED UNDER
THE PROGRAMMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL
REPORT.
AND.
AND PRESCRIBED FIRE.
GREAT GREAT. HAS MORE CONSERVING
EMERGENCY REGULATIONS COULDN'T
MOVE THE GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE
ORDER AND THE FORCE CARBON BLACK.
LIKE A SECOND. SPEAKER THAT IT'S.
WAS JUST RELEASED LAST WEEK
THAT WE'VE NOT.
ENTERTAINED THE NOTION OF ANY
EMERGENCY REGULATIONS IT
POINT WE DID.
THAT PASSED EMERGENCY
REGULATION BACK IN JANUARY TO
ENABLE US LOSE LANDOWNERS WHO
WERE.
WHO WHOSE HOMES SUFFERED DAMAGE
FROM THE?
THE NORTH BAY FIRES LAST
OCTOBER DID REMOVE TREES THAT
PRESENTED A HAZARD TO THOSE.
TO THOSE HOME SO WE DID PROVIDE
SOME EMERGENCY RELATE REGULATORY
RELIEF FOR THOSE FOLKS BUT.
NOTHING'S BEEN CONTEMPLATED.
SURROUNDING THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER
YET.
YEAH I'D BE NICE YOU.
SUE SO BEEN STREAMLINED
PREFERRED THOSE SMALL.
LANDOWNERS UPSTAIRS PROBLEMATIC
FOR SURE I AGREE WITH YOU SIR
AND AND THAT WAS ON OUR AGENDA
PRIOR TO THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER
COMING OUT SO IT.
WE WILL CERTAINLY BE FOCUSED ON
THAT.
BUT GRAY. PAULA.
REPUBLICANS TROUBLING WILDFIRES
I COULD HAVE BEEN IF WE DON'T
TAKE ACTION.
I HAVE CONSISTENTLY PUSHED
THIS ISSUE WITH EVERY POINT DO
YOU AS ANY RURAL. THE TRUANT
TOADIES CRISIS.
NO SOMETIMES WE HAVE SUCH A
PROBLEM OF.
IN IN THE. SIERRAS YOU FORGET
THAT WITHOUT PROBLEMS ALONG THE
COAST ALSO THROW. IT'S A
STATEWIDE PROBLEM UNFORTUNATELY
LAST YEAR.
BUT IN THEIR PRINTS OUT A ROSE
WAS SO EXAMPLE WHAT COULD HAPPEN
IN INNER ISN'T WORRIED.
SENATOR TIER ONE AND TIER TWO.
FREE MORTALITY.
SO WE CAN HAVE ANYWHERE.
HELLO LOSE NUMBER VOTE FOR ALL
YOU GUYS.
THE WHOLE AND WHOSE FOR YOU DO
EVERYTHING WITHIN YOUR POWER TO
GET THOSE FUNDS OUT TO OUR
COMMUNITIES.
AND SPEED OF REMOVAL OF US DID
TREES OUR STATE. BECAUSE IT HAS
A PROBLEM.
THEN THEN THINGS AGAIN FOR YOUR
SERVICE AND. KEEP UP THE GOOD
WORK.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER MONNING.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR OWNER
THINK YOU AS WELL FOR YOUR
SERVICE AND.
FOR JOINING US THIS AFTERNOON.
SO THE AREA THAT I REPRESENT
CENTRAL COAST OF CALIFORNIA.
WE'VE BEEN HARD HIT BY.
FORCE FIRES.
OVER THE PAST
NUMBER OF YEARS TO SOBRE HONEST
FIRE.
BURNED OVER A HUNDRED THIRTY
THOUSAND ACRES THE CHIMNEY FIRE
AT THE LOCKHEED MARTIN FIRE. IN
SANTA CRUZ COUNTY.
RESIDENTS ARE PARTICULARLY
CONCERNED.
ABOUT THE INABILITY TO.
ACCESS US FORCED THREE LANDS TO
MAINTAIN FIRE BREAKS IN ITS.
IT'S GOING FROM CONCERNED TO
ALARM.
CAO FIRE.
FORESTRY SERVICE
A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS DID AN
AMAZING JOB PROTECTING LIFE AND
PROPERTY. DURING THE SOBRE ON A
CEASEFIRE. BUT AT A MEETING LAST
WEEK RESIDENTS.
ARE FRUSTRATED BY THE INABILITY.
TO GET THE US FORCE TREE SERVICE
TO MAINTAIN FIRE BREAKS THAT
THEY THINK WILL BE LIFESAVING
NOT JUST PROPERTY SAVING. BUT
LIFESAVING.
WHAT CAN THE BOARD IN CALIFORNIA
DO IN RELATION WITH US FORCE
TREE SERVICE?
TO.
PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY
BY MAINTAINING.
.
FIRE BREAKS.
WHY I CONSIDER BUT I THINK ALL
THREE OF US BUT WE HAVE A
COMMENT OR TWO ONE ON THIS ONE?
I AGREE WITH YOU AND I THINK.
.
WEEKLY PLACE FIREBREAKS ERA OF.
CRITICAL PART OF OUR DEFENSE
AGAINST THESE THESE FIRES THE
GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE ORDER DOES
DIRECT THE DEPARTMENT TO ENGAGE
WITH THE FOREST SERVICE USING
GOOD NEIGHBOR AUTHORITY.
TO. ADDRESS THINGS SUCH AS.
.
SUCH AS FIRE BREAKS.
ACROSS JURISDICTIONAL
BOUNDARIES SO.
MOON WE WILL WORK TO ENCOURAGE
THE DEPARTMENT TO SEE THROUGH ON
THAT. THAT DIRECTIVE.
IF I COULD JUST ADD TO THAT NAY
AND WELCOME OTHER COMMENTS BUT.
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS UNDER
NEPAD SENTRA.
AND AND TO FIND THAT BALANCE
BUT THE RESIDENTS ARE VERY
FRUSTRATED THAT THEY FEEL. A
BROAD ENVIRONMENTAL INTERESTS
ARE CONFLICTING WITH LIFE AND
SAFETY AND PROTECTION OF THEIR
PROPERTY SO HOW DO WE. FIND THAT
BALANCE AND.
ANY FURTHER COMMENTS ON THE
RELATIONSHIP WITH US FORCE TREE
SERVICE.
I I WORK FOR THE. FOREST SERVICE
FOR MANY YEARS AND I WAS.
.
THE AND ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR.
.
FOR FEELS BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT THAT THE FOR
SERVICES IS REALLY CHALLENGED BY.
A NUMBER OF THINGS AND AND I
CAN SPEAK TO THE ISSUES ON THE
LOS PADRES SO ALTHOUGH I CAN
SPEAK FOR THEM.
YOU KNOW ONE OF THE BIGGEST
ISSUES RELATED TO FIRE IS COMING
OFF THE LOS PADRES NATIONAL
FOREST AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT ONTO PRIVATE LAND
IS THAT. THE.
.
THE WILDERNESS ACT COMES ALMOST
UP TO THE BOUNDARY OF THE
NATIONALFOREST AND. THE FOREST
SERVICE.
AND YOU KNOW ALL OF US ARE AT
WORK HELP WERE ALWAYS
CONSTRAINED BY THE.
YOU KNOW THE LIMITATIONS ON. ON
USE OF EQUIPMENT AND.
EVEN TAINTS US IN IN WILDERNESS.
AND THAT IS BALANCED BY YOU
KNOW THE SUPPORT THAT A LOT OF.
PEOPLE HAVE AND THAT
RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES BUT
THAT FOREST PROVIDES. I THINK.
.
THE ONLY ANSWER TO THAT WELL IT
SORT OF ITS TWO FOLDERS THAT WE
NEED TO WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH
THE COMMUNITIES IN THE PUBLIC TO.
INCREASE THE USE OFARM.
DEFENSIBLE SPACE HARDENED
STRUCTURES SO THAT THEY'RE MORE
RESISTANT TO FIRES COMING ON OUT
OF.
WILDLAND AREAS ONTO.
THE WORK URBAN WILDLAND
INTERFACE.
BUT ALSO.
.
JUST KEEP TALKING.
THERE ARE A LOT OF OPINIONS OUT
THERE ESPECIALLY IN YOUR NECK OF
THE WOODS ABOUT THE VALUE OF
CHAPARRAL AND THE IMPORTANCE OF
IT IN IN TERMS OF WHAT IT.
IT.
CONTRIBUTES TO BIODIVERSITY AND
JUST A TO RECREATION. AND SO I
THINK.
A AND WE'VE LISTENED TO A NUMBER
OF PEOPLE FROM SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA ON THE BOARD AS WE'VE
GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS ON THE
BT YOU KNOW THE VEGETATION TREES
TREATMENT.
PROGRAM E. IR.
ON THEIR CONCERNS THAT.
BASICALLY FEEL BREAKS
DON'T WORK AND SO THE PARTS OF
THE PUBLIC AND THAT FEEL THAT
THEY DO IN THE PARTS THE PUBLIC
THAT.
FEEL THAT THEY DOWN AND THE
AGENCIES IN THE COMMUNITIES
I THINK WE JUST NEED TO KEEP THE
DIALOGUE OPEN. THAT WE THAT WE
CAN BALANCE THOSE THINGS AND
UNDERSTAND.
.
YOU KNOW THE CONFLICTING
VIEWPOINTS NEVADA AND THE FOREST
SERVICE SO YEAR I'M SURE YOU'RE
AWARE OF THIS DEBATE AND WE
CERTAINLY ARE. THANK YOU ARE
KEENLY AWARE OF THE DEBATE. WITH
CLIMATE CHANGE WITH INCREASED.
WEATHER EVENTS THAT WE SON
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA THE THOMAS
FIRE.
THE.
THE FORCE THREE SERVICE ALWAYS
CURES EMERGENCY PERMITS
DURING THE FIRE TO MOVE
EQUIPMENT IN. THE RESIDENTS SAY
WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE
FIRE VAN WHEN OUR PROPERTIES AT
RISK IN THE DEFENSIBLE SPACE.
IS.
MAYBE A HUNDRED YARDS AT MOSTAR
LASTS AROUND THEIR PROPERTY BUT
THEIR GOAL IS TO TRY TO KEEP THE
FIRE FROM OUT OF THEIR BACKYARD
TO BEGIN WITH BUT. BY COULD
SHIFT TO JUST ONE OTHER SUBJECT
YOU'VE BEEN GENEROUS WITH YOUR
TIME ON THESE ISSUES BUT.
RELATED SENATOR BARRY HOUSE
QUESTIONS.
REMOVAL OF DEAD TREES ON IT IS A
PRIORITY WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING
IT. ARM AND YET WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THE RESOURCES ALLOCATED TO THAT
REVERSES THE RESOURCES WE SPEND
ON FIRE SUPPRESSION.
.
OUR INVESTMENT STILL ISN'T AT
THE FRONT END OF FORCE
MANAGEMENT OUR INVESTMENT. OUR
GREATEST INVESTMENT IS FIGHTING
FIRES.
A HOW WOULD YOU CONSIDER OR
WHAT'S THE METHOD TO PRIORITIZE
WHERE THOSE ULTIMATELY LIMITED
RESOURCES ARE INVESTED FOR TREE
REMOVAL. GET IN MY DISTRICT CAME
BREA WE HAVE.
PINE. PITCH CANKER WE HAVE PINE
BEETLE WE HAVE DEAD. LA PINE
TREES SURROUNDING HIGH
POPULATION AREAS AND SO SOME OF
THE RESIDENTS I REPRESENT SEEN
MONEY BEING ALLOCATED TO REMOVE
DEAD TREES IN THE SIERRAS.
THEY FEEL THAT'S.
A MISS PRIORITY IN TERMS OF
INHABITED AREAS SOME PROTECTING.
A RESIDENTS FROM THE CATASTROPHE
THAT WE'VE SEEN IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA.
ON. THOUGHTS ON HOW WE
PRIORITIZE THAT INVESTMENT AND
IF ANY PARTICULAR THOUGHT SON.
PINE.
TREE MORTALITY.
WELL MAYBE I CAN SPEAK DUBBED
JUST BRIEFLY ON THE FEDERAL SIDE
IN THE I DON'T KNOW RICH IF YOU
WANT IT.
ADD ANYTHING TO IT FROM YOUR
EXPERIENCE WITH THE TREATMENT
TELL THE TASK FORCE AND AND
WORKING OUT SOME OF THE PRIVATE
LANDS AND HOW THAT'S ALLOCATED
BUT.
.
ON THE FEDERAL AND.
.
TWO TO ISSUE SAID THAT THERE WAS
A RECENT.
FIX OF WHAT WAS WHAT'S CALLED
FIRE BORROWING WHICH AND I FOR
YEARS AND YEARS WHEN THE BILL
FOR SERVERS WENT OVER THEIR
BUDGETED.
DOLLARS FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION
THEY TOOK MONEY FROM.
OTHER ACTIVITIES.
INCLUDING.
FUELS REDUCTION AND AND.
AND THE TIMBER SALE PROGRAM.
I BELIEVE LAST YEAR FOR SERVICE
NATIONWIDE SPENT FIFTY FIVE
PERCENT OF ITS BUDGET ON FIRE
SUPPRESSION.
SO.
THAT'S UP FROM FIFTEEN OR
TWENTY PERCENT JUST JUST TEN OR
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO A DRAMATIC
DRAMATIC INCREASE SO. THERE HAS
BEEN A FIRE FUNDING FIX THAT WAS
PASSED BY CONGRESS AND SO THAT
SHOULD GIVE MORE CERTAINTY TO
THOSE AGENCIES THAT THOSE FUNDS
CAN BE EXPANDED THEY CAN BE
EXPANDED EARLIER IN THE YEAR.
BECAUSE THEY DON'T NEED TO BE
HELD IN RESERVE.
IN CASE THEY RUN OVER BUDGET ON
FIRE SUPPRESSION SO THAT'S ONE
ONE THING THAT COULD HELP.
ANOTHER PIECE OF FEDERAL
LEGISLATION GOING BACK TO YOUR
PREVIOUS QUESTION.
.
IN THE OMNIBUS SPENDING BILL
THERE WERE SOME STREAMLINED A.
KNEE BUT.
.
CATEGORICAL EXCLUSIONS THAT
WERE GRANTED TO THE FOREST
SERVICE AND OTHER FEDERAL
AGENCIES TO ENABLE EXPEDITED
NEPA COMPLIANCE FOR PROJECTS
THAT ARE IN HIGH HAZARD FUELS
OWNS AND OR IN THE WILDLING
URBAN INTERFACE SO. HOPEFULLY
THAT WILL HELP ENABLE.
MORE TREATMENT.
ON THE FEDERAL LANDS THAT ARE
IN THE MOVIE AND IT AT HIGH RISK
IN HIM. WILL WE AS A BOARD WILL
CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE OUR
FEDERAL PARTNERS TO USE THOSE
TOOLS AND TREAT THOSE ACRES IT'S
IT'S CRITICAL.
THANK YOU AND ANY THOUGHTS ON
THE PINE.
ANY OF YOU ON THE PLANE THAT
PLANE PROBLEM IN CAPE BRETON
DAIS MONTEREY PINE YES.
WELL.
THERE I BELIEVE THERE'S BEEN
QUITE A NUMBER OF STATE GRANTS
THAT HAVE GONE THAT AREA BUT.
THE COST OF REMOVING.
THOSE TREES WHEN YOU'RE RIGHT
NEXT TO HOUSES IT GOES UP.
ASTRUM NAMA CLAY I'M SURE YOU'RE
AWARE OF THAT.
THE.
THE DEPARTMENT AND THE BOARD SO
HIGHEST PRIORITY FOR OF FUEL
TREATMENT AS EXPRESSED IN IN THE
STREET STRATEGIC PLAN IS IN THE
IN THE WE AREAS.
BUT I'M.
THAT THE POTENTIAL COST OF.
A LOT OF CAMBRIDGE DOES NOT JUST
CAME RARE BUT LOTS OF CAMBRIDGE
IS IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO TAKE
EVEN THE LARGE AND GENEROUS
AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S BEEN
ALLOCATED.
AND TAKE CARE OF THAT THAT
PROBLEM PLUS.
ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS
ARE.
.
IN A DIFFICULT POSITION BECAUSE
THOSE DEAD TREES ARE RIGHT IN
THEIR YARDS YOU KNOW BASICALLY
WITHIN.
WITHIN VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY OF
THEIR HOUSES WE'VE SEEN SIMILAR
THINGS SAID BASS LAKE UP IN THE
SIERRAS.
WHERE THERE ARE SMALL
COMMUNITIES THAT WERE ORIGINALLY
BUILT IN THE FORESTS THAT ARE?
BASICALLY ALL THE HOUSES ARE NOW
SURROUNDED BY A DEAD TREES AND
THE CHALLENGE OF EVEN WHERE TO
PUT ALL THOSE LOGS WIMPY GENIE
REMOVES THEM FOR EXAMPLE. WHERE
TO PUT THEM THERE ISN'T WE WE
HAD DIFFICULTY SEND AND RICH CAN
I'M I THINK TALK ABOUT IT OF
EVEN WHERE TO MOVE ALL THOSE
LOGS TO? TO GET THEM OUT OF THE
AREA AND.
ABUT CAMBRIA ó I'VE BEEN I'VE
SEEN THE SITUATION AND IT'S
REALLY DISTURBING AND I'M SURE
MOST OF THOSE HOMEOWNERS ARE.
ARE STILL AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT
PERCENTAGE OF THE. THE.
DEAD.
POTTERY PLANS HAVE BEEN REMOVED
AND ITS BISHOP AND MONTEREY
RIGHT THAT YES YEAH AND AND IT'S
A.
IT IS A HUGE CHALLENGE.
THERE HAVE BEEN.
STATE FUNDS ALLOCATED BUT IT
FALLS SHORT OF OF THE TASK IN AN
INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS ARE
IN CARING.
POSITIONS OF BEING ABLE TO FORTY
THERE'S BEEN SOME EXPIRATION OF.
BURNING THE AS BIO FUEL.
THE CLOSER TO THE AREA OF
REMOVAL BUT DURING THE CHIMNEY
FIRE.
.
THAT AREA WAS AT GREAT RISK IN
AGAIN CALIFORNIA OR DID A
TREMENDOUS JOB OF.
DETECTING.
THAT PART ON THE PERIMETER THE
FIRE PIT. AND A FEW OTHER
COMMENTS MADAM CHAIR I'M.
I'M GOOD THANK YOU.
VERY MUCH ARE MISTER ROTH.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. OF.
YOU KNOW MY UNCLE DECADES AND
DECADES AGO WAS A UNIVERSITY OF
GEORGIA EDUCATED FOREST MANAGER
AND SPENT HIS CAREER.
MANAGING FORESTLAND IN.
ALABAMA AND.
SO NOW BERMAN GEORGIAN THAT'S
THE GOOD NEWS THE BAD NEWS IS HE
DIDN'T PASS ANY OF THAT
KNOWLEDGE ON TO ME BEFORE HE
PASSED AWAY.
SO. I I STRUGGLE LITTLE BIT UP
IN IN TERMS OF TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT ONE WHAT THE BOARD ACTUALLY
DOES INTO HOW IT RELATES TO.
OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WHO
WERE.
A GRAPPLING WITH THE ISSUES THAT
WE HAVE IN FORCE MANAGEMENT AND
FIRES AND FIRE PREVENTION AND
RISK REDUCTION AND ALL OF THAT.
I'M TEMPTED.
IN A DIFFERENT SETTING I WOULD
BE TEMPTED TO ASK YOU IF OUR
GOVERNMENT.
AGENCIES ARE STRUCTURED IN
CALIFORNIA.
ARE STRUCTURED APPROPRIATELY TO
DEAL WITH THE NEW REALITY THAT
WE'RE FACING.
.
GIVEN WHERE YOU ARE AND WHERE
I'M SITTING I'M NOT GOING TO PUT
YOU ON THE SPOT WITH THAT
QUESTION.
SO LET ME ASK ONE NO.
GIVEN THE DISASTERS THAT WE ARE
NOW DEALING WITH UNDER THE DOME
HERE AND HELD OF.
DO WAS OF DESTRUCTION AND PAY
FOR IT.
HAS THE BOARD PROPOSED ANY
SPECIFIC CHANGES TO THE WAY YOU
DO BUSINESS OF SUPPORT.
TO DEAL WITH THE MEDICATION.
THE RISK REDUCTION AND THE LIKE
ONE INTO.
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE AS A
STATE CAN DO.
TO HELP YOU.
WHETHER IT'S STRUCTURALLY OR. IN
TERMS OF REGULATIONS OR IN TERMS
OF AUTHORITY.
HELLO THOSE TWO QUESTIONS ARE
THEY CLEAR ENOUGH.
ANYBODY WANT TO TAKE A SWING.
SURE A.
WELL I THINK YOU KNOW THIS OF
THE BOARD'S ROLE IS TO ACT AS.
AS THE
POLICY MAKING BODY FOR THE
DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY FIRE
PROTECTION.
IT'S.
IT'S CHARGED WITH AYE
ESTABLISHING POLICY FOR FORCE
POLICY FOR THE STATE.
END UP PROVIDING REGULATORY
SCENARIO FOR TIMBER HARVESTING.
AND.
UP FOR.
I'LL BE THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
THE STATE WITH RESPECT TO
FEDERAL FOR.
WELL SO THAT'S JUST BROAD
CONTEXT OF THE.
THE ROLE OF THE BORDER FORESTRY.
SO WE.
IRAQ VERY CLOSELY WITH CAL FIRE
WE ARE. ESSENTIALLY A PART OF
CAL FIRE.
ARE.
AND CHAU THROUGH OUR.
.
TIMOROUS REGULATION THINGS SUCH
AS THE STRATEGIC CRIER PLAN THAT
WE'VE JUST COMPLETED OR IN THE
PROCESS OF FINALIZING FOR TWENTY
EIGHTEEN.
I WOULD PROVIDE THAT KIND OF
DIRECTION TO.
HOW TO?
GO ABOUT THE BUSINESS OF
PROTECTING PEOPLE THE STATE.
SO OUR I GUESS IN MY MIND.
THE BOARD HAS A PRETTY VITAL
ROLE IN AND PROVIDING THAT KIND
OF POLICY DIRECTION.
.
IT IS ALSO. I THINK UNIQUE AND
THE NATURAL RESOURCE AGENCIES
THAT.
.
IT WE DO DEAL WITH.
WITH TIMBER HARVESTING WE DO
WHAT WE DO WITH COURAGE
COMMERCIALIZATION WORK. WERE OUT.
CONCERN WITH OF ECONOMIC
VIABILITY OF TIMBER HARVESTING.
AND.
.
IN IN THE CONTEXT OF THE
BENEFITS THAT PROVIDES TO THE
PEOPLE OF THE STATE NOT ONLY.
YOU KNOW RURAL ECONOMIES BUT
ALSO JUST THE ABILITY TO.
.
TO MANAGE THAT NATURAL RESOURCE
IN AN ECONOMIC WAY SO WITHOUT.
SOME ECONOMIC.
.
BILLY CHIU.
CHIU DERIVED.
FUNDS HEARD GATHER THAT VALUE
FROM FORCE AND WE WOULD THEN
EVERYTHING WOULD BE DONE THROUGH
GRANTS AND ALSO.
THROUGH THAT.
INCENTIVE TO PROVIDE AND
UNDERSTOOD THE ABILITY TO MANAGE
THEIR FORCE AND THEN GET ALL
THESE TEN AND BENEFITS.
AND FEELS REDUCTION AND.
.
AND MAINTENANCE OF OTHER FORCED
RESOURCES
SO.
MY* IS THAT THE BOARD FOR
SHE HAS A VERY VALID ROLE IN IN
ADDRESSING ALL THESE CURRENT
ISSUES.
BUT DO YOU HAVE ANY FUNCTION FOR
EXAMPLE THERE WERE A NUMBER OF
QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW MONEY SPENT
AND. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT FOR
IS FOR FIRES THAT OCCURRED IN
OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE DO YOU
HAVE ANY. ANY FUNCTION WITH
RESPECT TO MITIGATING THE RISKS.
THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE
RESULTED.
IN THOSE FIRE DISASTERS AND IF
SO WHAT SPECIFIC.
ROLE DO YOU PLAY AND IS IT IS
YOUR AUTHORITY LINE STRONG
ENOUGH.
TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU.
PRESUMABLY THE EXPERTS.
INDICATE THAT SOMETHING SHOULD
HAPPEN THAT PEOPLE WILL LISTEN.
IS THAT A FAIR QUESTION IT IS.
BUT BACK IN GUY TAKE A STAB AT
IT FIRST SO I THOUGHT RICH GIVEN
EXCELLENT SUMMARY OF.
OF THE BOARDS.
YOU KNOW DIRECTION IN THE ROLE
WE PLAY.
IN THE STATE I THINK THIS
STRATEGIC FIRE PLAN THAT WE'RE
WORKING ON RIGHT NOW THAT IT'S.
CLOSE TO ADOPTION IS AN S.
EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A PROACTIVE
STEP THAT THE BOARD IS TAKEN IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE DEPARTMENT
AND. NUMEROUS OTHER STAKEHOLDERS
TO.
LOOK AT THE SITUATION THAT WORRY
AND. TAKE WHAT WE'VE LEARNED.
.
REVISE OUR.
FRAMEWORK OF GOALS AND
OBJECTIVES FOR THE STATE AND LAY
OUT A CLEAR POLICY.
.
FOR CAL FIRE DEAD TO FOLLOW IN
ITS EFFORTS TO.
PREVENT WILDFIRES DIDN'T MANAGE
VEGETATION TO TO LESSEN THE RISK
AND SUPPRESS WILDFIRE WHEN
NECESSARY AND.
DID THE INTENT IS FOR CAL FIRE
TO TAKE THIS STRATEGIC PLAN AND
THEN APPLY IT TO EACH OF THE
UNITS AND THEY CAN TAILOR IT.
TO TO SUIT DID UNIQUE
CIRCUMSTANCES ON EACH OF CAL
FIRES UNITS BUT EVERYTHING'S
GOTTA TEAR BACKTO. THE
STRATEGIC FIRE PLAN THAT IS A
PRODUCT OF THE BOARD AND I THINK
IT'S AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF THE
TYPE OF LEADERSHIP THAT. THAT WE
PLAY IN THE STATE AND A
DEMONSTRATION OF OUR. OF OUR
ROLE.
THAT'S A FINE THAT'S AN
EXCELLENT RESPONSE SO WITH
RESPECT.
FOR THOSE OF US WHO WERE
INTERESTED IN ACCOUNTABILITY
THEN THE LINK WOULD BE. YOUR
POLICY PRODUCT.
LOOKING TO THE ACTION AGENCY
WHICH IN THIS CASE ON THE STATE
SIDE IS CAL FIRE. TO MEASURE
CALPERS PERFORMANCES AGAINST.
THE RECOMMENDATION IN YOUR
STRATEGIC PLAN THAT THAT IS
CORRECT PERFECT.

I WILL START WITH OUR VICE
CHAIRMAN I DON'T WANT HIM TO
THINK I HAVE OVER LOOKED HIM IN
THE QUEUE.
MADAM PRESIDENT.
YOU KNOW BEFORE WE START MISSING
JULIAN THERE WAS A.
SOME CONTROVERSY FROM SOMETHING
THAT HAPPENED AWHILE AGO AND AND.
WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES WE ALL SAY
THINGS IN A BLUE SHOULDN'T SAID.
THAT WERE GIVEN UP TO TO ADDRESS
IT BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME FOLKS
ARE STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THIS
WAS WHEN YOU WERE ON THE.
BOARD OF PAROLE HEARINGS I GUESS
IT WAS AN OPEN MIKE AT ALL OF
THIS WAS AT A. A BLOW A PAROLE
HEARING BUT AS YOU SAID THAT.
YOU LOVE TO GIVING A PAROLE
GRANTS AND AND THAT CONCERNS
SOME FOLKS AND SO. CAN YOU
EXPLAIN WHAT CONTEXT THAT WAS IN.
CERTAINLY WOULD ACTUALLY TAKE
MAYBE A FEW HOURS TO EXPLAIN THE
CONTENT OF PLEASE DON'T TAKE A
FEW HOURS THREE THREE LEAH. I
BRIEFLY IT WAS A DISCUSSION IN
WHICH A.
ATTORNEY FOR AN INMATE'S
ATTORNEY.
WAS BE VERY CRITICAL OF THE
BOARD OF MYSELF IN MY COLLEAGUE
AT THE TIME NOT GIVING. GRANTS
AND MY RESPONSE ALTHOUGH IT WAS
QUITE.
ENTHUSIASTIC.
WAS BASICALLY TO EXPLAIN THAT WE
NAY GRANT SHOULD BE GIVEN I WILL
FOLLOW THE LAW AND GIVE THAT
GRANT.
NOW ADMITTEDLY THE WORD I LOVE
IS PROBABLY OUR CASE SAID IT
SAID. AN EMBELLISHMENT.
BUT IT WAS NOTHING MORE THAN
THAT OKAY. BECAUSE YOU CAN
UNDERSTAND FROM THE VICTIMS'
PERSPECTIVE OR A D. A.'S
PERSPECTIVE.
IF IT IT ALMOST PAINTS A PICTURE
THAT YOU WERE GOING TO DO
WHATEVER YOU CAN TO GIVE A
GRABBED ITSELF LIKE YOU'RE
SAYING.
IT HAPPENS SO INFREQUENTLY WHEN
SOMEONE MEETS THE CRITERIA. THEN
YOU'RE HAPPY TO DO IT YEAH LEGAL
BECAUSE AT THAT POINT IN TIME.
GRANTS WERE PROBABLY GIVEN LESS
THAN FIVE PERCENT OF THE TIME.
SO THE ACTUALLY THERE THE WORD I
LOVE CAME FROM.
WHEN I FINALLY SEE SOMEONE WHO
MEETS THAT CRITERIA.
IT IS A REWARDING FEELING.
IT'S FAIR THERE'S NO OPPOSITION
TO YOUR APPOINTMENT BUT.
AGAIN I AM SURE OF SAID THINGS
OVER MY MANY YEARS IN PUBLIC
LIFE THAT MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE
SAID IT THE WAY I SAID IT BUT I
APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME
TO EXPLAIN IT.
BECAUSE AGAIN I I THINK WE ALL
LOVE WHEN PEOPLE TURN THEIR
LIVES AROUND WHEN.
PROGRAM AND THEY GET EDUCATE.
THE DRUG TREATMENT.
AND THEY YOU KNOW DEAL WITH
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES THAT MAYBE
PUT THEM IN PRISON IN THE FIRST
PLACE.
BUT TO A VICTIM.
THEY'RE STILL THEY'VE LOST A
LOVED ONE OR THEY'VE BEEN FOR ME
OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT
HAPPENED SO I APPRECIATE YOU
TAKING THE TIME TO EXPLAIN THAT.
SO HOW WOULD EACH OF YOU
DESCRIBE YOUR THE RELATIONSHIP
OF DJ WITH THE VARIOUS COUNTY
PROBATION OFFICES.
IN YOUR OPINION WHAT STEPS COULD
DJJ TAKE TO MAKE TRANSITION MORE
SEAMLESS.
PROVIDING YOU CAN START I AM
WELL I THINK THAT THAT OUR ROLE.
EIGHTY DJJ I'M SPECIFICALLY AS
FAR AS YOU KNOW.
TAKEN NUMEROUS STEPS IN
CREATING ESSENTIALLY KIND OF THE
FORMER HEAD.
ON THOSE DOES AND WHAT I MEAN BY
THAT IS INVOLVED IN IN MEETINGS
AND CONVERSATIONS WAS HE BOUGHT
TYPICALLY PROBATION OFFICERS A
CALIFORNIA. AND.
.
TO.
DETERMINE AND LOOK AT A THE.
WHEN YOU FOR RETURNING BACK O
THE DOCK BACK TO THE COMMUNITIES
EXACTLY YOU KNOW WHAT WHAT
FUNCTIONS THEY SERVE AT THAT.
OKAY.
IF TO AND INDIA NAM. I THINK
THEY WERE ACTUALLY WORKING
STARTING TO WORK VERY CLOSELY
WITH COUNTIES AND A LOT OF THEIR
COUNTIES WILL ARE COMING INTO
THE DJJ. OF FACILITY AND MEET
WITH YOU WHO ARE YOU GOING TO BE
JUST CHARGED OUR SOON TO GET TO
KNOW THEM.
START TO OF FORMULATE A PLAN FOR
THEM UPON DISCHARGE AND THERE
WERE ALSO COURSE WORKING WITH
THE COUNTIES TO COORDINATE THE
HONORABLE DISCHARGE. OUR PROCESS.
VERY.
YES.
.
MY WORK AS A RANCHER COORDINATOR
AND BEING ONE OF THE FIRST
RANCHO COORDINATORS BAD.
.
IMPLEMENTED. THAT RAN THROUGH
PROGRAM FOR IN NATURE CHARGING
YOUTH CORRECTIONAL FACILITY.
ON THAT YOU JUST OTHER ALL NHL
GEORGIANNE.
UP. ONE OF THESE FACILITIES
EHRENSTEIN ARM IN STOCKTON.
.
WE DEVELOPED ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT ONE WE DEVELOPED A PROGRAM
WAS WE WANTED TO HAVE THE YOUTH
LOWER THEIR ANXIETIES BY.
BUILDING AND STRENGTHENING THE
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PROBATION.
SO WE WOULD WE WOULD ACTUALLY
LIKE MISS SAINT JULIENNE SAID I
INVITE. INVITE PROBATION AND TO
SPEAK WITH THE YOUTH AND IT WAS
REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US AS A
REENTRY PROGRAMS TO. SAY WHAT
PROGRAMS ARE GOING TO MAKE THE
USES FESTIVAL WHEN THEIR RELEASE
AND WHAT DOES PROBATION SUPPORT
SO. UTILIZING THEIR RESOURCES
AND THEIR SERVICES ACTUALLY MADE
US DEVELOP A HELPED US DEVELOP A
TALLIT REENTRY PLAN.
A CONTINUING THAT WORK WITH
DIRECTOR SUPPLE. DIRECTION ó I
STILL WORK WITH A CAN.
PRIVATIONS.
PROBATION DEPARTMENT TO SAY HOW
CAN WE MAKE OUR. OF PROCESS EVEN
STRENGTHENED IT EVEN MORE AND I
CAN TELL YOU ALMOST DAILY WERE
GETTING INFORMATION OR CONTACTS
FROM THE COUNTIES LIKE HEY. WE%
SACRILEGIOUS REACHED OUT TO.
HAVE US COME OUT AND SPEAK WITH
THEM JUST TO SAY. WHAT'S GOING
TO BE THE BEST PRACTICE FOR US
SO THOSE RELATIONSHIPS.
OF THE DOORS OPEN ON BOTH SIDES
DJJ AS WELL AS THE COUNTIES.
.
WE'RE SEEING MORE AND MORE
COUNTIES REACH OUT TO US TO HELP
TO YOU WITH THAT PROCESS RADIO.
IT'S IT'S. A REALLY WARM HAND.
IT ICE I MAKE IT DESTROYS BEEN A
LONG DAY ALREADY BUT I I BELIEVE
MY RULES CONSOLED MENTIONED THAT.
YOU YOU HAVE HAD A LOT ALL THREE
OF YOU HAD COMPLIMENTS ON THE.
CONNECTION YOU MAKE WITH THESE
JUVENILES AND AND YOU YOU TRACK
THEM THAT NOT ONLY DO YOU TALK
TO THEM AND AND GRANT WHATEVER
YOU'RE GRANTING BUT.
IT WILL THE RELATIONSHIP WITH
THEM IS THAT TRUE AND AND CAN
YOU EXPLAIN WHAT BENEFITS YOU
THAT PROVIDES TO. TO THE
JUVENILES.
BUILD A RELATIONSHIP. YEAH YOU
TRACK WITH THEM SO IT'S NOT JUST
A ONE TIME EVENT IT'S IT'S IT'S.
AND ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP
NECESSARILY BUT. IT'S MORE HANDS
ON THAN THAT IS THAT IS THAT.
AND AND AND WHY DO YOU DO.
YES OUR JUVENILES COME TO US
VERY AYE I'M WITHOUT ANY SOCIAL
SKILLS ARE SOFT SKILLS AND WE
WANTED ON CONTINUE TO DEVELOP.
THOSE SOFT SKILLS WITH ARE YOUTH
AND WHAT IT'S HELPFUL FOR THEM
TO LOWER THE ANXIETY AND
UNDERSTAND.
.
WHAT THE BOARD MEANS TO THEM AND
ONE OF THE THINGS WE REMIND OUR
JUVENILES ARE?
YOU'RE NOT HERE TO BE TRIED
AGAIN. YOU'RE HERE TO.
.
THE WEB POINTS OF REHABILITATION
IS HAVE THAT MATT. AND THAT
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE A PUBLIC
HARM GOING BACK OUT TO THE
COMMUNITY SO. IF THEY KNOW THAT
ABOUT US THEN.
WHEN THEY COME INTO THEIR BOARD
HEARING IT.
LESSONS THAT ANXIETY FOR THEM
AND HELPS THEM COMMUNICATE MORE
EFFECTIVELY WITH US.
AND IT DOESN'T MEAN LIKE THEY'RE
GOING TO.
YOU'RE GOING TO GRANT
DISCHARGED NO.
WE NEED TO SEE THAT YOU'RE
MAKING PROGRESS IN THOSE
TREATMENT AREAS CLOTHES SO YOU
START THE RELATIONSHIP EARLIER
THAN RIGHT SO YOU PREPARE THEM
FOR THAT HEARING RIGHT. OKAY AND
CENTER FOR MY FOLLOW UP ON THAT
ISSUE WE WE WE CONDUCT OUR.
THE FORTY FIVE DAYS.
COMING INTO DJJ EARLIER RESPONSE.
ESSENTIALLY WE SEE THEM RIGHT
FROM AND TAKE
AND FALL THEM THROUGH AT
SUBSEQUENT ANYWHERE REVIEWS
WHICH ARE CONDUCTED NEARLY ALL
THE WAY UP UNTIL THEIR
RESPECTIVE DISH CHARGE
CONSIDERATION DAY.
SO WHAT IS IT IS SENSE AND WE
WOULD YOU KNOW THERE IS A MEMBER
OF OF THE BORG SEEN THEM FROM
INTAKE THROUGH ALL THE WAY UP
UNTIL THEY APPEAR BEFORE US OF
FOR THEIR DISTRACT CONSIDERATION
DAY.
OKAY ENJOYING WOULD LIKE TO ADD
ANYTHING.
BASICALLY WHAT MY COLLEAGUES
JUST SAID BUT. IT'S.
DJJ AS A TREATMENT TEAM APPROACH
SO ALL OF THE STAFF YOU KNOW I'M
NOT JUST THE BOARD BOARD BE
BASICALLY SEE THEM.
I'VE YOU KNOW AS MISTER PATE
SAID.
IT'S STRUCTURED YOU KNOW INTAKE
ANNUAL REVIEWS AND THEN THE
DESTRUCTION HEARING BUT.
OUR TREATMENT TEAMS STAFF
YOU KNOW ARE THE ONES WHO
ACTUALLY DIED IN PROVIDE THE
TRAINING AND THINGS LIKE THAT IN
WHERE THERE THE BOARD IS THERE.
TO ENCOURAGE THEM AND TO MONITOR
AND GET THEM KIND OF ON.
IF THEY'RE NOT ON THE TRACK THEY
NEED TO BEYOND TO GET THEM ON
THAT TRACK BY.
LETTING THEM KNOW THE THINGS
THAT DAY.
NEED TO DO. GREAT HIM AND THIS
IS BEEN SUCCESSFUL THIS APPROACH.
ME DID JUST YOU HAVE A METRIC
FROM.
WHEN YOU USED TO NOT DO THAT NOW
YOU DO IT AND HOW MANY HOW MANY
MORE JUVENILES ARE MORE
SUCCESSFUL.
I'M.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE OF
METRICS OF.
FOR THAT RIGHT NOW OKAY.
BUT.
I KNOW SINCE MY APPOINTMENT.
I'VE SEEN A DIFFERENCE WITH THE
USE WHEN THEY LEAD THE BOARDROOM
EITHER EVEN IF WE'RE DENYING
DISCHARGED HOW RECEPTIVE THERE
THEY ARE NOW TO ASK US QUESTIONS
BECAUSE WE WE DON'T WANT THEM TO.
STORM OUT AND BE MAD AND UPSET
AND AND HAVE THEIR PROGRAM
DETERIORATE WE WANT THEM TO ASK
US QUESTIONS TO SAY WHAT ELSE DO
I NEED TO DO. IN THEIR MORE
RECEPTIVE AND I DON'T SEE THIS
STARTED OUT AS MUCH AS WE STOOD
AT THE BEGINNING. TARGET STORM
OUT EVERY DAY. MAYBE YOU COULD
TEACH ME SOME OF THOSE
TECHNIQUES.
MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING THE ON
THE BOARDS APPROACHES WE EASE
MOTIVATIONAL AND.
INTERVIEWING APPROACHES
FOR THEM TO FIND WHAT'S WHAT
THEY HAVEN'T ACHIEVED JET SO OF
THEY'RE MORE WILLING. TO ADDRESS
THOSE BREAK. ALRIGHT BUT ONE
LAST QUESTION WHATUNIQUE
FACTORS OF ANY DO YOU CURRENTLY
CONSIDER WE'RE CONDUCTING INTAKE
ANNUAL AND DISCHARGED
CONSIDERATION HEARINGS FOR WORDS.
A WITH MORE SERIOUS CRIMINAL
HISTORY SUCH AS THOSE WHO HAVE
MAY HAVE BEEN KEPT OUT OF ADULT
COURT BY PROP FIFTY SEVEN.
WELL I I THINK. OUR OUR DISH
CHARGE YOU KNOW CRITERIA ON HIM
ALL THE WAY FROM FROM OUR
INITIAL CASE REVIEWS TO ANIMALS
IS IS YOU KNOW LOOKING AT A
PATTERN.
OFFENDING.
YOU KNOW LOOKING AT YOU KNOW
ESSENTIALLY YOU KNOW WHAT WERE
THE FACTORS THAT REALLY. DROVE
YOU TO.
TO THAT CRIMINAL HISTORY WEATHER
THAT BE YOU KNOW A A A MOST
SERIOUS OFFENSE OF MURDER ALL
THE WAY DOWN TO I'M YOU KNOW.
OR ROBBERY CASE OR SOMETHING OF
THAT NATURE YOU KNOW WHAT WHAT
ARE THOSE WHAT ARE THOSE FACTS
AND WHAT ARE THOSE FACTORS.
WHAT ARE SOME OVER SOME OF THOSE
PATTERNS OF THINKING?
ON USING OUR ASSESSMENT TOOLS WE
HAVE CURRENTLY NEED TO REVIEW
SUCH THOSE THINGS AS YOU
MENTIONED BEFORE LIKE SUBSTANCE
ABUSE ATTITUDES ON GANG
INVOLVEMENT. IN AGGRESSION
VIOLENCE THINGS LIKE THAT AND SO
WHEN YOU WHEN YOU'RE WHEN YOU'RE
ESSENTIALLY LOOKING AT THOSE
PATTERNS OF OFFENDING AND USING
THOSE AND AND.
THOSE THOUGHT PROCESSES AROUND
YOU KNOW THAT SOME OF THE OF
THEM WHICH WE USE.
IN ORDER TO REALLY DETERMINE A
YOU AND YOU.
FOR.
AND THAT.
INTO THAT.
MISTER FRANTIC OF WE ALSO
EXPLORER AND LOOK AT.
THEY HISTORY OF THEIR OWN
CHILDHOOD TRAUMA IN THE HURT.
UP THROUGH THERE AND WHY THEY'RE
ACTING OUT OR.
CHOOSING TO HARM SILICON IS
EXPLORING ALL THOSE. AREAS LIKE
MR VOTE THEY SAID THE REASON
THESE FACTORS COUPLED WITH
UNDERSTANDING THE OUT HIS TRAUMA
THE BOARD WAS. TRAINED ON
ADOLESCENT BRAIN DEVELOPMENT AND.
THIS TRAUMA AND HOW YOU ARE
RESPONDING.
AND WHAT THEIR WILLINGNESS TO
COMMIT CRIMES WE ALSO TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION AS WELL.
IN THE SERIOUSNESS OF THAT IS
JUST ONE MORE POLL QUESTION. SO
THEY'RE JUVENILES THEY GET OUT
OF PRISON OR WHATEVER WE CALL
FOR JUVENILES. DO THEY.
HOW DO HOW MANY OF THEM RE
OFFEND DO DO YOU KEEP TRACK OF
THAT ARE ONCE THEY'RE OUT THERE
BUT BUILT ON THEIR? YOU KNOW
SOMEONE ELSE'S CONCERN.
WE DON'T HAVE THE.
THE RECIDIVISM RATE YET BUT I
KNOW THERE'S A STUDY FROM THE
OFFICE OF RESEARCH THAT'S D
OUCH A. WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE
MONTHS WILL THAT WILL HELP US
UNDERSTAND OUR RECIDIVISM RATE
GROWTH WILL BE INTERESTING IF
YOU CAN FOR ME A COPY OF THAT
WHAT YOU'VE DIGESTED I
APPRECIATE IT.
AND DIRECTOR SAMPLES WERE
CONTENT AS WE WILL MAKE SURE
EARNED. RESULT APPEARS SAFETY
EQUIVALENT HAVE. NO PROBLEM AND
I THINK YOU THIS RELINQUISHED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER ROTH.
OKAY MISTER MONNING.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
IN YOUR EXPERIENCE.
WHAT RESOURCES OR LACKING? IN
TERMS OF DURING THE TENURE OF
CUSTODY THAT IF YOU HAD A MAGIC
WAND.
YOU COULD ENHANCE THOSE
RESOURCES TO HELP.
THESE YOUNG PEOPLE BE SUCCESSFUL.
AT THE TIME OF DISCHARGE.
DJJ HAS HAD A LOT OF
IMPROVEMENTS OVER THE PAST
SEVERAL YEARS. AS YOU.
.
MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW WE HAVE THE
FERAL LAWSUIT AND UNDER THAT
WHICH WAS.
SETTLED SUCCESSFULLY THERE WERE
A LOT OF INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS IN
EVIDENCE BASED PROGRAMS.
THAT DJJ IS NOW. IMPLEMENTING
AND HAS BEEN FOR SEVERAL YEARS
SO I THINK WE'RE ON THE RIGHT
TRACK.
OF ARE DEFINITELY ON THE RIGHT
TRACK OUR STAFF IS. NAM
EMBRACING THE NEW. PROGRAMS AND
TRAINING THE YOUTH ON THOSE SO I
THINK NOW WE'RE JUST.
IN A STABLE OF PATTERN AND I
DON'T HAVE MUCH OF A WISH LIST.
I WOULD ADD TO THAT.
AFTER THE PHARAOH WITH US
DIDN'T THEY USED BACK ON TRACK
WITH TREATMENT AND. BEING ABLE
TO REDUCE AND ADDRESS THOSE
ISSUES.
SO THAT THEY'RE SAFE TO RETURN.
THE VOCATIONAL PROGRAMS ARE
INCREASING IN THOSE THOSE AREAS
LOOK PROMISING WITH THE
EDUCATIONAL EN.
VOCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM SO
THE SKILL BASE PROGRAMS ARE.
ARE YOU COMING EMERGING BACK
INTO OUR FACILITIES I THINK
THOSE WOULD BE HELP THINKING YOU
MAY NOT HAVE.
INSIGHT TO THIS BUT ONCE.
A.
A YOUTH IS GRANTED RELEASE AND
PRESUMABLY TO PROBATION OR SOME.
PROBATION SUPERVISION.
A ANY AWARENESS OF LACK OF
RESOURCES AFTER RELEASE THAT.
WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE.
LEARN. MORE RESOURCES AVAILABLE.
TO THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN RELEASED.
TO TO HELP THEM SUCCEED IN THEIR
TRANSITION.
I KNOW MOST OF THE COUNTIES.
HAVE SOME FORM OF LIKE A WORK
SKILLS PROGRAM.
.
FOR INSTANCE.
I KNOW IN MODERATE I HAVE.
RACHEL CIELO.
SOULS MORSE WANTED THINGS I
HEAR THESE SAY MOST IS.
JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS AND.
COLLEGE THOUGH OF THOSE
RESOURCES EXISTS AND IS THINGS
LIKE PROBATION IS VERY HELPFUL
WITHOUT HELPING US IDENTIFY THEM.
THANK YOU AGAIN.
THE STIGMA ATTACHED WITH
THE PRIOR OFFENSE AND I THINK
SOME. SENATOR ATKINS BILL
PROVIDES A PATHWAY FOR THAT.
REWARD FOR.
FOR THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN
RELEASED TO.
COMPLY WITH THEIR CONDITIONS AND
AND BE ABLE TO HAVE.
THAT IF NOT TOTALLY ERASED AT
LEAST ARM THE HONORABLE
DISCHARGE STATUS THAT CAN.
HELP WITH WITH FUTURE JOBSON.
OPPORTUNITIES.
