GOALS.
X. OUT GOLF IS THE SKI
[inaudible]
GOT IT.
WELL THANK YOU FOR COMING IN
PLEASE [inaudible]
HER.
FROM THE ALEJO.
THANK YOU FOR COMING.
AND PLEASE PROCEED OF THIS AS A
AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER BURKE AND I
HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE ASSEMBLY
FLOOR PLEASE.
SURE -- SO
AGAIN PAUL GOES ISCHEMIC THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE THE
SERGEANT IS DISTRIBUTING A
HANDOUT FROM WHICH I'LL BE
SPEAKING.
AND THEY'LL BE FOR PARTS TO MY
PRESENTATION TODAY FIRST I
WANTED TO DISCUSS BRIEFLY OUR
OFFICES ROLE AND THE INITIATIVE
PROCESS AND THEN I'D PROVIDE
SOME BACKGROUND ON FUEL AND
VEHICLE TAX IS.
AFTER THAT I'LL DESCRIBE THE
INITIATIVE PROPOSAL --
AND THEN LAST THEY'LL DISCUSS
ITS FISCAL AFFECTS.
A SO TO START --
I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT OUR
OFFICES ROLE --
IN THE INITIATIVE PROCESS IS
QUITE DE.
PROCESS --
FOR MEMBERS FOR ON THE BUDGET
COMMITTEE.
THEY MIGHT BE FAMILIAR WITH OUR
OFFICE COMING --
TO COMMITTEE --
ASSESSING VARIOUS BUDGET
PROPOSALS AND MAKING
RECOMMENDATIONS --
WE DON'T DO THAT WITH THE
INITIATIVE PROCESS BECAUSE STATE
LAW REQUIRES US TO PREPARE AN
IMPARTIAL FISCAL ANALYSIS --
SO WE DON'T --
EVALUATE THE MERITS OF
INITIATIVE PROPOSALS AND WE
DON'T MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ONE
WAY OR THE OTHER ON THEM --
SO MY COMMENTS TODAY WILL BE
PURELY DESCRIBING WHAT THE
MEASURE DOES AS WELL AS
ESTIMATING ITS FISCAL A FAX --
THE OTHER THING I WE KNOW IS
THAT THE HENDO AND MY COMMENTS
TODAY OUR TENTATIVE OUR FINAL
ANALYSIS ISN'T DUE TO THE
SECRETARY OF STATE --
UNTIL JULY SO WE ARE STILL IN
THE PROCESS OF PREPARING IT SO I
WOULD CHEAT THESE --
REMARKS AND HENDEL AS TENTATIVE
FOR NOW.
SO IF YOU TURN TO THE PAGE OF
THE HANDOUT LABELED BACKGROUND
HOW QUICKLY.
GO OVER SOME BACKGROUND MATERIAL
TO GET YOU ORIENTED BUT YOU
PROBABLY ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH
MUCH OF IT --
AS YOU KNOW CURRENTLY THE
LEGISLATURE CAN ONLY PASS THE
TAX WITH A TWO THIRDS VOTE.
AND THE LEGISLATURE'S --
I MEAN THE VOTERS ARE NOT
INVOLVED IN --
PASSING THESE TAX INCREASES IT'S
JUST DONE THROUGH THE
LEGISLATURE IN THIS TO THE
GOVERNOR.
I'M TERMS THIS FUEL AND VEHICLE
TAX IS SPECIFICALLY THAT ARE
CHARGED BY THE STATE AND THE
STATE HAS EXCISE AND SALES TAXES
ON GASOLINE AND DIESEL FUEL.
IS AUTHOR IN TAXES ON VEHICLES.
THE STATE CONSTITUTION REQUIRES
THAT THE REVENUES FROM THESE
TAXES BE SPENT ON TRANSPORTATION
PURPOSES.
ON WITH ONE MAJOR EXCEPTION
WHICH IS THE VEHICLE LICENSE FEE
ON THOSE REVENUES ARE NOT
LIMITED TO TRANSPORTATION.
AND CURRENTLY THEY LET LET JUST
THEM -- TO
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FOR HEALTH AND
SOCIAL SERVICES AND A PUBLIC
SAFETY PROGRAMS ADMINISTERED AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL --
SO AS YOU'RE ALL AWARE RECENTLY
LAST YEAR THE LEGISLATURE PASSED
S. B. ONE ON APRIL TWENTY
SEVENTEEN TO INCREASE.
SOME OF THE FUEL AND VEHICLE TAX
IS -- TO
FUND HIGHWAY AND ROAD
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.
AS WELL AS TRANSIT PROGRAMS
ANOTHER TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS.
AND THERE'S A FIGURE ON PAGE --
TO WHERE WE SUMMARIZE THE
VARIOUS --
TAXES AND AND FEES THAT WERE
INCREASE THE SP ONE I WON'T GO
THROUGH ALL OF THEM SINCE I'M
SURE YOU'RE YOU'RE FAIRLY
FAMILIAR WITH THE PACKAGE --
BUT BROADLY SPEAKING --
SP ONE INCREASED GAS GAS TAXES
DIESEL TAXES.
AS WELL AS CREATED IN YOU
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT FEE
ON VEHICLES AND I ZERO EMISSION
VEHICLE FEE --
IF YOU THESE --
THIS CHARGER STARTED TAKING A
FACT AND TWENTY SEVENTEEN
EIGHTEEN ON IN THE CURRENT YEAR.
AND IF YOU LOOK THE LAST COLUMNS
OF THE FIGURE WE SHOW THE
ESTIMATED ANNUAL REVENUES FROM
SP.
ONE IN THE BUDGET YEAR AND
TWENTY EIGHTEEN NINETEEN AND
IT'S ESTIMATED AT FOUR POINT
FOUR BILLION --
GROWING IN A COUPLE YEARS TO A
LITTLE OVER FIVE BILLION
ANNUALLY.
I'M THE REASON WHY INCREASES IS
THAT NOT ALL OF THE CHARGES HAVE
TAKEN EFFECT YET.
ON AND ALSO THE CHARGES ARE
INDEXED FOR INFLATION IN THE
FUTURE SO THAT'S THAT'S WHY THEY
THINK GROW.
IN THE OUT YEARS.
SO REGARDING THE INITIATIVE
MEASURE WE DESCRIBED ON PAGE
THREE OF THE HANDOUT IT'S AN
AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION --
ESSENTIALLY DOES TWO THINGS.
THE FIRST IS THAT REQUIRES THE
LEGISLATURE TO GET VOTER
APPROVAL FOR SPECIFIED FUELING
VEHICLE TAXES.
AND SPECIFICALLY THE SUPPLIES TO
TAXES ON THE SALE STORAGE USE
AND CONSUMPTION OF GASOLINE AND
DIESEL FUEL.
IT ALSO APPLIES TO TAXES PAID
FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF OPERATING A
VEHICLE ON PUBLIC HIGHWAYS.
AND SUCH AS VEHICLE LICENSE FEES
THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER AS WELL
AS TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT
FEES WHICH WERE CREATED BY S.
B..
THE SECOND THING THE INITIATIVE
MEASURE DOES IS IT ELIMINATES
RECENTLY ENACTED --
SUCH SUCH RECENTLY ENACTED FUEL
AND VEHICLE TAX IS.
A SPECIFICALLY IT WOULD APPLY.
TO ANY SUCH FEELING VEHICLE
TAXES AND ACTED BETWEEN JANUARY
FIRST TWENTY SEVENTEEN AND THE
DATE THE MEASURE TAKES A FAT.
AND IF IT IS PASSED BY THE
VOTERS WOULD TAKE EFFECT IN
DECEMBER --
TWENTY EIGHTEEN AND SO SENSE SB
ONE WAS ENACTED IN APRIL.
TWENTY SEVENTEEN THIS MEASURE
WOULD APPLY TO THE TAXES IN SP
[inaudible]
ONE AND ON THE LAST PAGE I
SUMMARIZE THE FISCAL AFFECTS
THAT OUR OFFICE --
HAS ESTIMATED WE THINK THERE'S
TWO MAIN FISCAL IMPLICATIONS
FROM THE INITIATIVE.
THE FIRST IS THAT WOULD
ELIMINATE TAX REVENUES FROM SP
--
ONE AND AS I MENTIONED EARLIER
OF THE SORT OF ONGOING IN THE
OUT YEARS THIS WOULD BE ROUGHLY
FIVE BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY
AND LESS FUNDING --
IN THIS FUNDING MAINLY WOULD
HAVE SUPPORTED HIGHWAY AND ROAD
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROGRAMS
AS WELL AS TRANSIT PROGRAMS AND
SOME OTHER TRANSPORTATION
PROGRAMS --
THAT MEASURE THOUGH DOES NOT
AFFECT OTHER PROVISIONS THAT
WERE IN SB ONE IT REALLY REALLY
JUST WOULD ELIMINATE THE TAX
REVENUES SO S. B. ONE DID
CONTAIN SOME OTHER.
PROVISIONS REGARDING --
INCREASED ACCOUNTABILITY --
OVER TRANSPORTATION SPENDING IT
WOULD NOT AFFECT THOSE THOSE
PROVISIONS.
THE SECOND MAN FISCAL
IMPLICATION THAT WE SEE IS THAT
WOULD MAKE --
PASSAGE OF FUEL AND VEHICLE
TAXES IN THE FUTURE MORE
DIFFICULT AND THIS IS DUE TO THE
VOTER APPROVAL REQUIREMENT WOULD
BE ANOTHER STEP IN THE PROCESS
--
TO INCREASING TAXES SO COULD
MEAN LESS REVENUE THAN
OTHERWISE.
HOWEVER WHERE UNABLE TO ESTIMATE
THE EFFECTS OF THIS --
AS IT WOULD DEPEND ON FUTURE.
THE VOTERS WHICH WE CANNOT
PREDICT.
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REMARKS
THANKS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH --
WERE -- WE
HAVE A SIMPLE PROCESS NOW ON TO
OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT
AND SO CAN HAVE PEOPLE COME
FORWARD TO THE MY RIGHT OVER
HERE AND MAKE THEIR COMMENTS.
AS THEY PLEASE SO --
EACH PERSON WILL BE ALLOWED A
COUPLE MINUTES.
APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND ENERGY
--
SO.
WHAT IS A WHY DON'T WE START
WHEN WE START WITH YOU DAVID?
IN ADDITION TO SELF AND NAM.
IF YOU'RE STATEMENT FOR TWO
MINUTES PLEASE THANK YOU.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS ACTED
EVENING NOW DAVID WILL FOR THE
HOWARD JARVIS TAXPAYERS
ASSOCIATION I THINK WE'RE THE
ONLY ONE HERE IN FAVOR OF THE
MEASURE SO IT'S PROBABLY BEST
THAT I GO FIRST ANYWAY --
AGAIN THIS MEASURE WOULD REPEAL
THE GAS AND CAR TAX AND PUT IT
ANY FUTURE SOME MORE TAXES TO A
STATEWIDE VOTE OF THE PEOPLE.
MEMBERS SOMETIME THIS WEEK THE
GOVERNOR WILL SIGN A RECORD
HUNDRED AND THIRTY BILLION
DOLLAR BUDGET WITH ANY BILLION
DOLLAR SURPLUS AT A TIME WHEN WE
ALREADY HAVE AMONG THE HIGHEST
GAS AND CAR TAXES.
IN THE NATION.
YES TAXES ARE TOO HIGH BUT
THAT'S NOT PRIMARILY THE REASON
WE'RE SUPPORTING THIS EFFORT.
WE OPPOSE THESE TAXES BECAUSE OF
THIS LEGISLATURE'S INABILITY TO
MANAGE THE DOLLARS TAXPAYERS
HAVE ENTRUSTED THEM.
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS A CAP AND
TRADE FELONS HAVE BEEN DROPPED
INTO THE GENERAL FUND THE LAST
FIVE YEARS. TEN BILLION DOLLARS
A TRUCK WAIT FEES OVER THE LAST
DECADE HAVE BEEN DIVERTED FROM
AWAY FROM MAINTAINING AND
REPAIRING OUR ROADS.
KEYMOD AWAY MEMBERS GENERAL FUND
SPENDING HAS INCREASED BY FORTY
BILLION DOLLARS THE LAST SEVEN
YEARS WITH NOT ONE DIME AGAIN
NOT ONE DIME.
GOING TO TRANSPORTATION.
MEMBERS IN CLOSING WE ABSOLUTELY
AGREE WITHTHE OPPONENTS OF THIS
MEASURE THAT OUR ROADS NEED TO
BE REPAIRED AND THAT WE DO
INDEED HAVE A FORTY EIGHT
BILLION DOLLAR ROAD MAINTENANCE
BACKLOG. FOR THAT PROBLEMS THE
LEGISLATURE'S TO FIX USING
EXISTING RECORD HIGH REVENUES
AND SHOULD NOT BE A BURDEN TO
HARD WORKING CALIFORNIA
TAXPAYERS THINK YOU.
THANK YOU NEXT WEEK REPLACE YOUR
AT GOOD GOOD EVENING MISTER
CHAIRMAN BRIAN ANA SECRETARY THE
STATE TRANSPORTATION AGENCY.
AND STATE TRANSPORTATION AGENCY
IS COMPLETED THE FIRST
PROGRAMMING OR WAR AWARD ROUND
FOR SP ONE WITH OVER FIVE
THOUSAND PROJECTS APPROVED TO
RECEIVE S. B. ONE FUNDING.
AND THAT JUST COVERS THE FIRST
COUPLE YEARS.
WE EXPECT THOUSANDS MORE
PROJECTS TO BE FUNDED WITH SP
ONE OVER THE NEXT DECADE.
NOW THAT WE KNOW THE AWARDED
PROJECTS WE HAVE A BETTER IDEA
OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE
REPEAL MAJOR WERE TO PASS.
THOUSANDS OF SAFETY AND
MAINTENANCE PROJECTS ON LOCAL
ROADS FILLING POTHOLES FIXING
PAVEMENT MAKING CROSSWALKS MORE
SAFE.
WOULD NOT OCCUR.
HUNDREDS OF HIGHWAY BRIDGES
WOULD NOT RECEIVE SAFETY REPAIRS
REPLACEMENT.
THOUSANDS OF MILES OF PAPER
REPAIR WOULD NOT OCCUR ON STATE
HIGHWAYS.
TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECTS TO
ADDRESS COMMUTER AND FOR A
CONGESTION WOULD NOT OCCUR OR
THE SIGNIFICANTLY DELAYED.
PROJECTS SUCH AS BART TO SAN
JOSE.
SACRAMENTO HIGHWAY FIFTY HOV
LANES AND WHY RAIL IMPROVEMENTS.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN PRUNE AND
STUFF HIGHWAYS FIVE TEN FIFTY
SEVEN ONE ON ONE AND OTHERS.
VERY IMPROVEMENTS TO HIGHWAY ONE
OR WHAT ONE A ONE SMART IN
CALTRAIN.
CENTRAL VALLEY IMPROVEMENTS TO
HIGHWAY NINETY NINE AND RAIL
INVESTMENTS AND LOS ANGELES
TWENTY TWENTY EIGHT OLYMPICS
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS.
MANY WOULD LIKELY BE DELAYED
UNTIL AFTER THE GAMES OCCUR.
THE BOTTOM LINE.
IF THE REPEAL WERE TO OCCUR
PAVEMENT WOULD GET WORSE INSTEAD
OF BETTER.
SAFETY PROJECTS WOULD BE
DEFUNDED.
AND PEOPLE AND THE ECONOMY WOULD
NOT BENEFIT FROM CONGESTION
RELIEF INFRASTRUCTURE
INVESTMENTS [inaudible]
THANK YOU.

KEEPING MOTOR SAFE ON OUR
ROADWAYS.
THE CHP IS CONFIDENT THAT
IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE TAKING
PLACE RIGHT NOW ON OUR ROADS

COMMUNITIES ACROSS CALIFORNIA.
WOULD RESULT IN A NEWER MORE

INVESTMENT IN CALIFORNIA'S
PUBLIC SAFETY THANK YOU

THANK YOU [inaudible]
PLEASE GOOD EVENING MISTER
CHAIRMAN MANY MRS IN BRANSON I
SERVICE YOU EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
FOR THE CALIFORNIA
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION.
I IT OVER THE LAST DECADE THE
CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION HEADED BY SO
LEGISLATURE ON THE NEED. TO
SECURE THE THE NECESSARY IN
STABILIZING NECESSARY
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING.
OTHERS SAID ARE CONCERNED THAT
THE COMMISSION HAD CAME TO
REALITY IN.
TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN WHEN THE
COMMISSION ON CALIFORNIA WAS
FACED WITH A ONE POINT FIVE
BILLION DOLLAR TRANSPORTATION
FUNDING SHORTFALL.
THAT FORCE A TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION TO DE PROGRAM AND
DELAY PROJECTS THAT WE'RE HAD
PREVIOUSLY BEEN COMMITTED FOR A
STATE FUNDING.
IN THE STATE TRANSPORTATION
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
THIS SHORTFALL MEANT THAT THE
COMMISSION NOT ONLY REMOVED
PREVIOUSLY COMMITTED FUNDING
FROM HUNDREDS OF PROJECTS.
IT ALSO MEANT THAT NOT A SINGLE
NEW PROJECT TO IMPROVE THE
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.
COULD BE ADDED OVER THE FIVE
YEARS THAT STATE TRANSPORTATION
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
AS OF THE COMMISSION'S MAY
MEETING THIS YEAR THE COMMISSION
HAS DEDICATED OVER NINE POINT
TWO BILLION DOLLARS TO PROJECTS
THAT WILL PROVIDE BENEFITS TO
COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA.
THOUSANDS OF PROJECTS HAVE BEEN
IDENTIFIED TO FIX BRIDGES
HIGHWAYS REPAIRMAN EIGHTEEN OVER
FOUR THOUSAND LOCAL STREETS AND
ROADS.
REDUCE CONGESTION IN THE MOST
CONGESTED CORRIDORS OF THE
STATE.
PROVIDE FOR SAFE ROUTES TO
SCHOOLS IMPROVE AND EXPAND
TRANSIT IN MORE.
THE COMMISSION HAS ALSO ADOPTED
IN IS ALREADY EXERCISING STRONG
ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES AND
OVERSIGHT. TO ENSURE THAT FUNDS
ARE APPROPRIATELY AND
EFFECTIVELY SPENT AND ACCOUNTED.
FOR WITHOUT THE REVENUES
PROVIDED BY SENATE BILL ONE WE
KNOW THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT
FUNDS TO MAINTAIN OUR BRIDGES
HIGHWAYS.
LOCAL STREETS ROSE TRANSIT BY
PROTESTING FIELDS FACILITIES AND
MORE.
CRITICALLY NEEDED PROJECTS WILL
HAUNT.
EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE WILL
CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE.
JOBS WILL BE LOST AND THE
ECONOMY ENVIRONMENT AND QUALITY
OF LIFE WILL BE AFFECTED FOR
THIS IN FUTURE GENERATIONS AND
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
BE HERE [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
I JUST LLOYD PEREIRA A MY COUNTY
SUPERVISOR FROM THE COUNTY
MERCED SERVING DISTRICT.
FOR AND THINK YOU FOR A
CONVENING THIS HEARING.
UP MERCED COUNTY --
TAKES A TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE AS A HIGH
PRIORITY --
WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
MAINTENANCE OF SIXTEEN HUNDRED
MILES OF ROAD.
OUR ROAD SYSTEM IS DETERIORATED
OVER THE LAST TWENTY YEARS DUE
TO LACK OF FUNDING.
THE THE COUNTY IS ONE OF THE
LARGEST AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS
IN CALIFORNIA AND NOT ONLY THAT
BUT OUR NATION.
AND THE ARE CRUMBLING OF THE
ROADS IN THE DETERIORATION AYE
IS A IS A HEAVY ECONOMIC A
BURDEN THAT --
ARE FARMERS OF PAY AND AND THE
COST OF TRANSPORTING THEIR CROPS
TO MARKET --
I ASSUME THAT MOST OF THE PEOPLE
IN CALIFORNIA LIKE TO EAT APPLES
PEACHES AND GRAPES AND IF YOU
CAN IMAGINE --
THOSE OF FRUITS BEEN HOLD OVER
HOLES --
THEY THE PACK OUT IS ABOUT 18%
LESS THAN IT WOULD BE IF THEY
WERE DRIVEN ON A SMOOTH ROAD SO
IT'S A HIGH BURDEN FOR OUR
FARMERS SAT AT TO PAY.
SP ONE PROVIDES A STEADY FUNDING
SOURCE OF FOR THE REPAIR
REHABILITATION AND
RECONSTRUCTION OF THE OF MERCED
COUNTY ROAD SYSTEM.
A WE ARE PROJECTED TO REACH SIX
US RECEIVE SIX POINT FOUR
MILLION A DOLLARS IN THE UP
COMING FISCAL YEAR.
AND THAT'LL ALLOW US TO REPAIR
THIRTY THREE MILES OF ROAD.
WHICH WILL TAKE US FORTY EIGHT
YEARS TO GET THROUGH OF THE
ROADS AND MERCED COUNTY SO HAVE
I I THINK WE ALL UNDERSTAND THE
NEED FOR THE MONEY --
THE DEDICATED FUNDING PROVIDED
BY S. B. WON WILL ALLOW US TO
DEVELOP A LONG TERM PAVEMENT
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM TO IMPROVE
THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE
COUNTY'S ROAD SYSTEM.
IF SB ONE IS REPEALED WE WILL BE
FACED AND LAYING OFF A PORTION
OF OUR ROAD MAINTENANCE STAFF
WHICH WOULD SEVERELY IMPACT OUR
ABILITY. TO PRODUCE A PROVIDE
BASIC ROAD MAINTENANCE --
OVER THE NEXT TWENTY YEARS AND
THAT INCLUDES TIMELY PATCHING
POTHOLES STRIPING AND STENCILING
OF COUNTY ROADS AND SCHOOLS
OWNS.
DELAYED REPLACEMENT OF MISSING
DAMAGE OR TERRY DID ROAD SIGNS
MAINTENANCE REPAIRS OF THE
SHOULDERS SO WITHOUT A S. B. ONE
IT WOULD PUT OUR COUNTY AT A
SEVERE DISADVANTAGE THANK YOU
FOR YOUR TIME.
THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE TO
MERCED.
I WAS A FORMER COUNTY SUPERVISOR
[inaudible]

HOW GOOD EVENING?
SENATOR BILL AND AND COMMITTEE
I'M JAY SPURGEON I'M THE PUBLIC
WORKS DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF
THOUSAND OAKS FOR ABOUT A
HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND
POPULATION JUST NORTH OF LA
COUNTY VENTURA COUNTY.
YOU KNOW OUR ROAD NETWORK IS THE
HIGHEST VALUE INFRASTRUCTURE THE
CITY OWNS AND I WOULD SAY THAT'S
TRUE FOR EVERY SITTING COUNTY IN
THE STATE.
THE VALUE OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE
IS SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS.
AND WE CANNOT TEAM YOU TO
IGNORE.
MAINTAINING THAT VITAL ASSET I
MEAN THINK ABOUT EVERY DAY
RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS OWNERS.
TOUCH OUR STREETS MULTIPLE TIMES
EVERY DAY. TO MAINTAIN OUR THREE
INNER NEEDY MILES OF STREETS WE
NEED ABOUT SIX AND A HALF
MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR.
YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR.
WE HAVE A FOREIGN A HALF MILLION
DOLLAR PER YEAR GAP.
SP ONE PROVIDES FOR THE CITY
THOUSAND OAKS. THREE MILLION
DOLLARS PER YEAR GOING FORWARD
FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS THAT IS A
HUGE.
STOP IN OUR GAP.
AND THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT IN
THE NEXT TEN YEARS WITHOUT THAT
FUNDING.
THE CONDITION OF OUR ROADS WILL
DROP.
BY WELL OVER TEN POINTS THE
RELATIVE KIND OF THING BUT
CLEARLY THAT'LL HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO THE
QUALITY ALIVE IN THE ECONOMIC
VITALITY AND SEE THOUSAND OAKS.
TODAY WE STARTED PAVING
REPAIRING STREETS IN THE
DARLINGTON NEIGHBORHOOD THREE
THREE MILES OF STREETS IN THIS
NEIGHBORHOOD.
I AND THAT'S JUST OF PART OF A
LARGER PROJECT THAT WE WORKING
ON THIS SUMMER.
AND INTO THE FALL OVER FIFTY

WELCOME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH A GOOD AFTER
GOOD EVENING MY NAME IS LISA AND

DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF
LAKEWOOD.

POPULATION OF ABOUT SEVENTY FIVE
THOUSAND PEOPLE WE HAVE TWO
HUNDRED SIX GENERAL I'M MILES OF
STREETS.
PRIOR TO SP ONE WE RECEIVED JUST
OVER ONE POINT THREE MILLION
DOLLARS OF STATE TRANSPORTATION
REVENUE ANNUALLY.
SP ONE IS ESTIMATED TO PROVIDE
AN ADDITIONAL ONE POINT FOUR
MILLION PER YEAR MORE THAN
DOUBLE.
UP ALL OF WHICH IS PROGRAM FOR
PAVING OUR STREETS AND IMPROVING
DRAINAGE AND STORM WATER QUALITY
OF ON ONE OF OUR MAJOR STREETS.
WITHOUT SP ONE FUNDING A ONE
MILLION DOLLAR LEVERAGED GRANT
WOULD BE AT RISK IN OUR CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR STREETS
WOULD ESSENTIALLY BE STOPPED.
WE WOULD JUST WE JUST COMPLETED
A NEW PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SURVEY
AND THE RESULTS TELL US THAT WE
NEED TO PLAN ON SPENDING ABOUT
THREE POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
PER YEAR FOR THE NEXT FIFTEEN
YEARS. TO KEEP OUR STREETS AND
GOOD STATE OF REPAIR WE NEED SP
ONE FUNDING TO GET THIS WORK
DONE.
IN FEBRUARY TWENTY EIGHTEEN THE
GATEWAY CITIES CAN --
COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS BOARD
TOOK A POSITION OF UNANIMOUS
OPPOSITION TO THE REPEAL OF SB
ONE THE LOSS OF THESE FUNDS
WOULD DERAIL PROJECTS LARGE AND
SMALL.
THAT WOULD IMPROVE THE QUALITY
OF LIFE IN OUR SUFFERS FROM
CHRONIC UNDER INVESTMENT AND
DISINVESTMENT.
THE IMPACTS OF LOSING SB ONE OF
THE GATEWAY CITIES WOULD INCLUDE
THE INTERSTATE SIX OH FIVE STATE
ROUTE NINETY ONE INTERCHANGEABLY
MEANT.
A GATEWAY CITIES FOR A
CROSSROADS THE ESTIMATED COST OF
A HUNDRED EIGHTY SEVEN POINT
EIGHT MILLION AND THE THIRTY TWO
MILLION SP ONE FUNDS.
IN DISCRETIONARY ALLOCATION THAT
WILL ALLOW THE PROJECT TO
ADVANCE TO CONSTRUCTION ALSO THE
WEST SANTA ANA BRANCH LIKE REAL
WOULD BE SEVERELY IMPACTED ALL
WITH THE LOSS OF SB ONE FUNDS.
SO IN CLOSING THE PUBLIC WORKS
PROFESSIONALS AND A PW A MEMBERS
ACROSS A WIDE SPECTRUM OF DUTIES
ARE WORKING TOO HARD TO
IMPLEMENT PROJECTS TO IMPROVE
CALIFORNIA'S TRANSPORTATION
NETWORK.

NOW GETTING ME MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS CHARLIE SWANLEY ON THE PUBLIC
WORKS DIRECTOR FOR THE CITY OF
LODI.
I'M HERE TO VOICE OUR OPPOSITION
TO THIS INITIATIVE FOR THE
ELIMINATING FUNDING FOR LOCAL
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS IN EVERY
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY.
THE CITY OF LODI HAS MORE THAN
TWO HUNDRED LANE MILES OR TWO
HUNDRED MILES OF STREETS AND ON
AVERAGE SPENDS APPROXIMATELY
SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS EACH YEAR ON STREET
MAINTENANCE.
WHICH IS DEFINITELY NOT ENOUGH.
FUNDING TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN OUR
STREETS HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY
SCARCE AND ALTHOUGH WE
CONSISTENTLY SEEK MORE COST
EFFECTIVE METHODS OF ROAD
MAINTENANCE.
THE CONDITION OF OUR ROADWAYS
CONTINUE TO SUFFER.
S. B. ONE ENABLE CITIES AND
COUNTIES TO ADDRESS SIGNIFICANT
MAINTENANCE AND REHABILITATION
NEEDS ON OUR LOCAL STREETS AND
ROADS THE CITY OF LODI.
IS SET TO RECEIVE NEARLY
EIGHTEEN MILLION DOLLARS OVER
TEN YEARS NOW WILL DEFINITELY
BE.
NEEDED OVER TO TO REPAIR PARA
ROADS THAT ARE IN POOR
CONDITION.
THE FUNDING IS BADLY NEEDED TO
PERFORM THE NEED TO PAYMENT
MINUTES ON A ROAD NET NETWORK.
WE'VE ALREADY PROGRAM TO LOCAL
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS THIS
YEAR WE'RE GOING TO RESURFACE
TWO AND A HALF MILES.
OF OUR MAJOR ARTERIALS USING A
PORTION OF SB ONE FUNDING.
AND NEXT YEAR WE HAVE PROGRAMMED
FIVE AND A HALF MILES OF
RESURFACING PROJECTS --
THAT OUR CITY COUNCIL HAS
APPROVED TO BE INCLUDED IN NEXT
YEAR'S BUDGET.
BOTH OF THESE PROJECTS AS WELL
AS FUTURE RED MENACE PROJECTS
ARE AT RISK IF THIS.
INITIATIVE IS APPROVED.
THE CITY OF LUBBOCK SIMPLY CAN'T
AFFORD TO THE LAYER CUT.
THESE PROJECTS THAT WILL FINALLY
ALLOW US TO BEGIN PERFORMING
BADLY NEEDED ROAD MAINTENANCE
THAT HAS BEEN DEFERRED DUE TO
CONSISTENT FUNDING SHORTFALLS.
THIS SHORTSIGHTED INITIATIVE
WILL JEOPARDIZE PUBLIC SAFETY
AND COST TAXPAYERS MORE LONG RUN
AS ROAD CONDITIONS GET WORSE AND
WE KICKED REPAIRS BECOME MORE
EXPENSIVE THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME.

GOOD EVENING CARL TAMAYO WITH
REFORM CALIFORNIA ONE OF THE
PROPONENTS.
ON THE GAS TAX REPEAL
INITIATIVE.
I WE WERE A LITTLE STUNNED THAT
THE COMMITTEE CHOSE NOT TO HEAR.
FROM THE PROPONENTS [inaudible]
SHOWS -- TO
NOT EVEN AN INFORMATIVE YOU'RE
HEARING.
BUT I GUESS IT'S PAR FOR THE
COURSE AND HOW THIS CAMPAIGN.
IS LIKELY TO EVOLVE.
HOW THIS MEASURE CAME ABOUT
[inaudible]
BACKROOM DEALS.
WITHOUT PUBLIC SCRUTINY WITHOUT
[inaudible]
REAL FAX.
I AM ADMIRE THOSE [inaudible]
HERE TODAY CLAIM. TO WANT TO
REBUILD OUR ROADS.
OUR ROADS NEED TO BE REBUILT.
HOWEVER WE ALREADY PAY
[inaudible]
THE PRIVILEGE.
OF GOOD ROADS.
THE SECOND HIGHEST GAS TAX IN
THE COUNTRY BEFORE THIS INCREASE
WENT INTO EFFECT.
SO I ASK YOU COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
AND WE ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER
WHAT YOU DO WITH THE MONEY.
WHY DIDN'T WE REBUILD THE ROADS?
WHY DON'T WE FILL THE POTHOLES?
BECAUSE WE'RE TOO BUSY FILLING
THE PENSION HOLE.
BECAUSE WE WERE TOO BUSY ADDING
STAFF.
WITHOUT ACTUALLY WORRYING ABOUT
COMPLETING PROJECTS.
BECAUSE WE WERE TOO BUSY
ELIMINATING LANES WITHROW DIETS
[inaudible]
TRANSFERRING MONEY TO COVER THE
GENERAL FUND BUDGET DEFICIT.
AND OF COURSE DECIDING THAT
ROADS ARE IMPORTANT.
BUT MASS TRANSIT INNER CITY
LIGHT RAIL HIGH SPEED RAIL IS
MORE IMPORTANT.
WE NEED TO REJECT THE TAX
INCREASE.
YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS BY
NOW.
ONE OF YOUR MEMBERS LOST HIS
JOB.
BECAUSE OF THIS AND I WILL
SUBMIT TO YOU THAT MORE OF YOU
WILL PROBABLY LOSE YOUR JOBS.
IN THE NOVEMBER ELECTION BECAUSE
THIS IS ON THE BALLOT.
AND RIGHTFULLY SO.
YOU FORCED THE TAXPAYERS. TO
COLLECT ALMOST A MILLION
SIGNATURES.
BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT LISTEN TO
THEM.
BUT YOU WILL HEAR THEM IN
NOVEMBER.
DO MATTER WHAT HAS SPENT
CERTAINLY ASK YOU BUT UP TWO
MINUTES NO MATTER WHAT YOU SPEND
NO MATTER WHAT SORT OF
MISINFORMATION YOU PROVIDE.
THE VOTERS WILL REJECT THIS AND
THEN WE GOT TO SIT DOWN AND
REBUILD OUR ROADS.
WITH THE MONEY THAT WE ARE IF
PROVIDED FIXER [inaudible]

THE CONDITION OF OUR
INFRASTRUCTURE.
IT WAS FORTIFIED WITH
PROTECTIONS THANK YOU MISTER

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP TODAY
--
MISTER ELLIOTT PAUL.
WE KEEP IT YOU ME AND BEST
FRIENDS --
SO SO WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS SAID OF A
JOINT JUST THIS AFTERNOON.
WHO WANT TO THANK THE PUBLIC FOR
THEIR COMMENTS AND BRING THIS
OUT WE DID ADVERTISE THIS?
OFFER FOR CONTINUAL DAYS --
GOING FORWARD AS WE ARE
REQUIRED.
TO AND OF ALL IS HOW MY VICE
CHAIR I HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY.
AND COME WILL MOVE ON THANK YOU
CHAIRMAN FRAZIER I APPRECIATE
EVERYONE COMING AND AND AND NOW.
EXPRESSING THEIR OPINIONS UP.
I CAN I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR
EVERYONE ON THIS DIES THAT NO
ONE OPPOSES INFRASTRUCTURE
INVESTMENT --
THERE ARE CLEAR DISAGREEMENTS ON
HOW TO FUND INFRASTRUCTURE
INVESTMENTS AND I THINK IT'S
VERY APPARENT.
A OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS THAT
CALIFORNIA MOTORISTS AND COWBOY
RESIDENTS THEY WANT TO SAY AND
SO.
ON IF THIS INITIATIVE PASSES I
THINK IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY
AS LEGISLATORS TO TALK ABOUT
ALTERNATIVES TO FIGURE OUT.
FUNDING MECHANISMS THAT COULD
YOU COULD YOU BE USE CONTINUE TO
FUNDING OF IMPORTANT
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE.
A WE JUST PASSED A EL HUNDRED
NINE NINE BILLION DOLLAR --
BUDGET WITH LESS THAN.
THREE IN THAT BUDGET THAT WILL
GO TO ROAD [inaudible]
INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND SO IF OUR PRIORITIES AND IF
EVERYONE AGREES.
THAT TRANSPORTATION ROAD
INFRASTRUCTURE IS A PRIORITY.
THEN WE MUST MATCH THAT PRIORITY
WITH FUNDING.
AND SO IF LESS THAN 3% OF OUR
FUNDING IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET.
IS GOING TO ROADS THEY'RE WE
NEED TO ANSWER TO THE PUBLIC FOR
THAT.
AND SO THERE IS PROPOSITION TWO
THE RAINY DAY FUND.
IN THAT SENSE CLEARLY STATES
THAT IF WE WANT TO SAVE ABOVE
AND BEYOND THE RAINY DAY FUND
THAT THAT FUNDING.
WOULD GO TEMPERATURE AFTER THE
FOLLOWING BUDGET YEAR.
AND THIS LEGISLATURE CHOSE NOT
TO PUT ANY MORE FUNDING INTO THE
MADE A FINE UNDER PROP.
TWO AND SO WE HAD THAT CHOICE
AND WE DIDN'T MAKE THAT CHOICE
AND SO.
WE NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND I
APPRECIATE THE CHAIRMEN IN HIS
LEADERSHIP ON THIS IS THAT WE
NEED TO FUND INFRASTRUCTURE AND
I THINK THAT WE PROBABLY NEED TO
GO ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT HAS
ALREADY BEEN INVESTED.
ARE CURRENTLY I THINK MOST OF
THE PROPONENTS ABOUT SIZA
OPPONENTS AND PROPONENTS OF AS
WE WANT I WOULD AGREE THAT WE
NEED PUBLIC SHOULD BE SPENDING
MORE ON INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND SEES THE SAFETY AND AND A
WHOLE HOST OF THINGS THAT WOULD
NOT ONLY INCREASE PUBLIC SAFETY
BUT ALSO.
A TO PROVIDE NEEDED INVESTMENTS
TO REDUCE TRAFFIC CONGESTION SO
I WOULD JUST ASK THAT AS WE
DISCUSS LEARN THE FUTURE OF
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
AND TRANSMISSION INVESTMENT IS
THAT THIS DISCUSSION DOESN'T END
HERE.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY.
THE PUBLIC WANTS A VOICE SO NOW
WE AT THE WE ANSWERED TO THE
PUBLIC.
THE VOTERS ARE OUR BOSSES.
AND SO WE DID IS WE DESERVEDLY
NEED TO GIVE THE VOTERS A CHOICE
ON WHETHER S. B. ONE IS TO CRACK
POLICY NOT SO I THINK YOU
APPRECIATE THE JENNIFER LET ME
SPEAK.
WHO I AM?
ONE OTHER SPEAKER FROM THE THE
DICE MISTER GIPSON.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR
PERSONALITY THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR THIS HEARING IN.
FALL THE TESTIMONY HAS BEEN
GIVEN THOSE FAR --
I JUST WANT TO MAKE MENTION THAT
I HAVE HEARD FROM VOTERS I'M AT
LEAST IN MY DISTRICT --
AND I'VE HEARD IT TIME AND TIME
AGAIN BOTH AS A CITY COUNCIL
MEMBER WHO HAD TO BE --
MAKE DECISIONS --
TERMS OF OUR BUDGET.
AND REALIZE THAT WE CANNOT
AFFORD TO PAY FOR THE
INFRASTRUCTURE --
THAT -- WE
NEED TO PAY FOR WITH IN OUR OWN
CITY BUDGET.
AND WOOD SP ONE CAME ALONG.
IT WAS CERTAINLY THE RIGHT THING
TO DO.
THE VOTERS IN MY DISTRICT
[inaudible]
PORTED.
WE ARE SEEING THE MANIFESTATION
OF S. B. ONE TAKING PLACE.
BY INFRASTRUCTURE NO ROADS
BEING.
TAKING CARE BEING A REPAIRED --
PEOPLE ARE SAYING I CAN NOW
DRIVE DOWN CENTRAL AVENUE.
AND OTHER PARTS OF THE DISTRICT
AS WELL AND SO I THINK THAT WE
HAVE IN FACT HEARD.
OF VOTERS --
CINNAMINSON CONCERNS --
BY DOING THIS I MISSED SOMETHING
THAT I THINK THAT IS VERY WELL
SUPPORTED.
IT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT THINK
MAKE GOOD SENSE OF THE
TESTIMONIES THAT I'VE HEARD THUS
FAR TODAY FROM THE DIFFERENT
CITIES WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF SB
ONE GOES AWAY.
IT WOULD BE DEVASTATING --
TO THE FOUR HUNDRED PLUS CITIES
I'M WITHIN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND SO I THINK THIS
IS A VERY PRUDENT I THINK THIS
IS BACK ZACH LEE WHAT.
OF THE VOTERS OF OF CALIFORNIANS
LISA MY DISTRICT I'M SUPPORT --
AND ONE AND I THINK IT'S BEEN
ECHOED THOSE WHO REPRESENT THEM
THEM THE DIFFERENT CITIES WHO
HAVE COME HERE TODAY TO EXPRESS
ON BEHALF OF THOSE PARTICULAR
CITIES I THINK YOU.
AND I THINK THAT AGAIN IT WOULD
BE DEVASTATING FOR THE FACT OF
THIS IS REPEAL AND SO I FOR ONE
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR BOTH CHAIRS FOR
ALLOWING US.
TO HAVE THIS AUDIENCE TODAY.
THANK YOU SENATOR BILLION MAKING

STATE TALKING TO STAKEHOLDERS.
ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD
COMPROMISE A GOOD HOPEFULLY ó
PACKAGE --
THAT WOULD ADDRESS ALL THE NEEDS
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
OTHER IS A PERFECT NO.
BUT THERE'S A TENS OF BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS BACKLOG IN REPAIRS
THAT WE'RE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING AND
THAT WHEN I SERVE ON THE CDC AS
AN EX OFFICIO SENATOR BELL.
AND I SAW THE THE CALIFORNIA
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION DE
PROGRAM PROJECTS.
BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ENOUGH
RESOURCES REVENUE.
THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY THE WRONG
DIRECTION TO GO.
THIS IS AN ABILITY TO MOVE
CALIFORNIA FORWARD AND COMMERCE

INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS.
THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF
AND AGAIN AS THE AUTHOR OF A CA
FIVER PROP.
SIXTEEN NINE THE LOCK BOX WHICH
WILL MAKE SURE THE DOLLARS ARE
CONTINUALLY USE FOR
TRANSPORTATION.
OTHER TO STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION TO GIVE THE PUBLIC

PURPOSE.
