OKAY LET'S GET BACK ON SCHEDULE
I'M.
THIS IS --
PHOEBE EIGHTEEN OF FOR THIS IS A
MISTER BERMAN PLEASE PROCEED
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
SENATORS I'M HERE TO HELP YOU
ALL GET BACK ON SCHEDULE --
WASN'T BILLS THAT ARE A LITTLE
LESS COMPLEX AND WE'VE BEEN
DEALING WITH THIS MORNING.
THE BILL BEFORE YOU TODAY IS THE
SAME BILL AS MY BILL AB FOR AB
FORTINO FOR THAT YOUR COMMITTEE
PASSED LAST YEAR.
AS YOU MAY RECALL UNDER THE
CALIFORNIAN VERY ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT THERE'S A
CATEGORICAL INFILL EXEMPTION
WHICH IS INTENDED TO PROMOTE
INFILL DEVELOPMENT IN URBANIZED
AREAS.
HOWEVER THE EXISTING CATEGORICAL
INFO EXEMPTION IS LIMITED TO
ONLY CITIES.
DESPITE THE FACT THAT THERE ARE
URBANIZED AREAS IN OUR COUNTIES.
AB EIGHT YOU KNOW FORWARD EXPAND
THE EXISTING CATEGORICAL INFO
EXEMPTION TO PROMOTE INFILL
DEVELOPMENT IN UNINCORPORATED
AREAS OF THE COUNTY.
UNDER THE SAME VERY NARROW
CONDITIONS ARE PROJECTS IN
CITIES AND WOULD APPLY ONLY TO
RESIDENTIAL OR MIXED USE HOUSING
PROJECTS WITH WHICH WAS AN
AMENDMENT THAT I TOOK.
IN THIS COMMITTEE LAST YEAR.
THE GOAL OF AB EIGHT YOU KNOW
FORCED TO PROMOTE HOUSING
PROJECTS IN URBANIZED AREAS IN
OUR COUNTIES AND THUS HELP
ADDRESS CALIFORNIA'S HOUSING
CRISIS WITHOUT ADVERSELY
IMPACTING THE ENVIRONMENT.
I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THE
COMMITTEE FOR THEIR ANALYSIS AND
APPRECIATE THEIR CONSIDERATION
OF WHETHER WILL BE MORE
APPROPRIATE TO PROVIDE A
STATUTORY EXEMPTION UNDER THIS
BILL.
WHILE I AM OPEN TO AMENDING THE
BILL TO BECOME A STATUTORY
EXEMPTION AS WELL AS INCLUDING A
SUNSET DATE I CANNOT ACCEPT
AMENDMENTS AT THIS TIME WITHOUT
SEEING THE AMENDMENT LANGUAGE --
GIVEN THE SENSITIVITY AROUND
SEQUEL IN THAT EVERY WORD
MATTERS I WOULD ASK THE CHAIR IF
YOU'LL BE COMFORTABLE MOVING THE
BILL FORD IN ITS CURRENT FORM
WITH MY COMMITMENT TO WORK WITH
YOUR COMMITTEE MOVING FORWARD.
TO TRY TO FIND THE PRECISE
WORDING NEEDED FOR STATUTORY
EXEMPTION.
A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION ALREADY
EXISTS FOR CITIES AND MY INTENT
IS NOT TO CHANGE THAT EXAMS AND
INSTEAD THE FOCUS OF LAST YEAR'S
BILL IN THIS YEAR'S BILLS ON
COUNTIES.
COUNTIES MUST BE A PART OF OUR
HOUSING EQUATION IN AB EIGHT YOU
KNOW.
FOR IS ONE CRITICAL STEP TO
BUILDING MORE HOUSING IN
URBANIZED AREAS IN OUR COUNTIES.
THIS BILL PASSED ASSEMBLY
NATURAL RESOURCES A COMMITTEE
NOT KNOWN TO BE FRANK FRIENDLY
TO SEQUEL EXEMPTIONS ON CONSENT --
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE.
MY THINKING WAS THAT WE KNOW THE
PRESENTATION LAST YEAR THE
PRESENTATION THIS YEAR IS THAT
YOU HAVE IDENTICAL.
PROPERTIES WITH IDENTICAL --
BUILD OUT THAT THAT YOU THINK IS
IN THE CITY OF ACTS AND YOU GO
WHEN YOU SAY --
THAT HOUSE RIGHT OR THAT THAT.
HALF BLOCK IS IN AN INCORPORATED --
COUNTY AND NO ONE BUT THE COUNTY
ASSESSOR WHO WOULD LOOK AT THE
PROPERTY WOULD NOTE THAT IT WAS
IN AND WHEN WE WHEN WE MOVED
BEYOND EUCLIDEAN ZONING.
INTO.
FORM BASS AND LOOK AT WHAT THE
FORM LOOKS LIKE FROM THE STREET.
IT GETS ARE SO THAT'S MY I MEAN
IT.
IT IS IT'S UNDERSCORED IN THE
ANALYSIS THAT YOU HAVE INFILL
HYPHENATED --
TO SHOWS THE DATE LET'S HEAR
FROM FIRST WITNESS.
GOOD AFTERNOON COMMITTEE MEMBERS
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK ON THIS ISSUE I'M I'M OUR
LOPEZ THE PLAN DIRECTOR FOR THE
COUNTY OF ALAMEDA.
THE UNICORNS PORTIONS OF ALAMEDA --
A VERY LARGE URBAN POPULATION
AND COMMUNITY SUCH AS CASTRO
VALLEY SAN LORENZO ASHLAND
SHERILYN.
I'M HERE TO SPEAK EITHER.
I KNOW THERE SENATOR --
YES -- I'M
HERE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF AB
EIGHTEEN OH FOUR WHICH WOULD
EXTEND TO COUNTIES A SECRET
EXEMPTION THAT IS CURRENTLY
ENJOYED BY CITIES.
URBAN COUNTY SUCH AS OURS WOULD
BENEFIT FROM THIS LEGISLATION
AND PUT US ON AN EVEN PLAYING
FIELD WITH SOME OF OUR
NEIGHBORING CITIES IN THIS CASE
ASSEMBLY ON DRONE HAYWARD.
IT'S A COMMON SENSE APPROACH TO
SEEK A STREAMLINING THAT CAN
HELP US IMPLEMENT OUR GENERAL
PLANS AS WELL AS WE ARE CLIMB
MICHAEL'S.
THE PAST TWO DECADES HAVE BEEN
TOUGH FOR YOU IN THE CORPORATE
COUNTY FINALLY THE RESIDENTIAL
BLOOM IS TAKING NOTICE OF
OPPORTUNITIES AND ARE COUNTY
JURISDICTION.
SINCE THE PASSAGE OF SB THREE
SEVENTY FIVE ALAMEDA COUNTY HAS
BEEN FULLY ENGAGED IN THE LOCAL
SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY STRATEGY.
ALONG WITH OUR NEIGHBORING
CITIES AND IN OUR CASE OUR
COUNCIL GOVERNMENTS AS THE BAG
AND THEN TO SEE TO HELP US TO BE
ABLE TO IMPLEMENT.
A GREAT THE SUSTAINABLE
COMMUNITY STRATEGY IN THE
CREATION OF A PRIORITY
DEVELOPMENT AREAS THE MAIN TOOL
TO BE ABLE TO TO DO INFILL
DEVELOPMENT.
THERE ARE LITERALLY MAJOR
COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS IN THIS
CASE IS FOURTEENTH A MISSION
BOULEVARD THAT CROSS
JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES BUT
ARE BASICALLY THE SAME BUILT
ENVIRONMENT.
ACCESS TO SERVICES ARE EQUAL
TRANSPORTATION ACCESS IS THE
SAME AND THE IMPACT OF THE
ENVIRONMENT IS ALSO VERY SIMILAR.
TO BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY AND
REQUIRE MORE SECRET PROCESSES
FOR WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME
BUILT ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
FOR THEIR INHIBITS THE COUNTIES
EFFORT TO ATTRACT RESIDENTIAL
AND MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.
ALREADY AT A DISADVANTAGE TO TO
THE ECONOMICS OF ON A CORPORATE
AREAS AND THE LACK OF SYRIA CITY
IDENTITY.
PARITY IN THIS CASE WITH CITIES
WOULD HELP VERY MUCH.
THE CONTROLS CONTAINED IN THE
LEGISLATION TO LIMIT THE
EXEMPTION TO URBANIZED AREAS OF
RESIDENTIAL MIXED USE
DEVELOPMENT.
THAT'S A SITES UNDER FIVE ACRES
ARE ALL COMMON SENSE PARAMETERS
TO WORK UNDER.
THIS IS A GOOD USE OF THE
PUBLIC'S RESOURCES WERE BUT ONE
COUNTY IN THE STATE.
LIKELY THERE WILL BE BENEFITS
ARE COUNTIES THAT HAVE MAJOR
URBAN AREAS SUCH AS ALAMEDA
COUNTY.
ARE COUNTY SUPPORTS AB EIGHTEEN
NO FOUR AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO
THE PASSAGE.
CHAIR MEMBERS JOIN OF BORIS ON
BEHALF THE URBAN COUNTIES OF
CALIFORNIA HERE IN STRONG
SUPPORT.
VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE
LEADERSHIP OF A SUMMER BERMAN ON
THIS ISSUE --
THIS DOES MAYOR OF THE CITY
EXEMPTION THE CURRENT FORM OF
THE BELL AND PROVIDES PARITY
BETWEEN CITIES AND COUNTIES.
COUNTIES LIKE CITIES ARE TRYING
TO ADDRESS THE BOARD OF A
HOUSING CRISIS IN HOMELESS
CRISIS AND THIS PROVIDE ANOTHER
TOOL.
ON TO MEET OUR OBLIGATIONS
WHETHER IT'S ON TO THE REAL.
OR WHETHER IT'S REDUCING GHG AND
BUILDING YOUR TRANSIT --
AS THE AUTHOR SAID WE'RE WILLING
TO A LOOK AT WAYS TO DO A
STATUTORY EXEMPTION ABOUT IS
THAT THE PLEASURE OF THE
COMMITTEE --
BUT COUNTIES HAVE HAD THE SAME
SORT OF DEFINITION THAT WE'VE
BEEN LIVING WITH SINCE.
TWO THOUSAND TWO AND ANY NEEDS.
EACH NEW BILL THAT WE'VE GONE
THROUGH AND INFILL EXEMPTIONS
WHETHER IT'S S. B. TWO TWO SIX
OR S. B. THREE SEVENTY FIVE YOU
HAVE TO LIVE WITH THAT SAME
DEFINITION IT JUST ISN'T WORKING
FOR COUNTIES.
SO WE WOULD LIKE TO BE WE ARE
GONNA AND AMEND AN EXISTING --
INFILL EXEMPTION IF THAT'S THE
WILL OF THE COMMITTEE WE REALLY
NEED TO LOOK AT THAT DEFINITION
TO MAKE SURE IT WORKS FOR
COUNTIES.
SO WITH THAT I'D URGE YOUR
SUPPORT FOR THE BILL THANK YOU.

AND THANK YOU MY NAME IS MATTHEW
BAY HERE AGAIN WITH PLANNING AND
CONSERVATION THE ARM I WOULD
LIKE TO START OFF BY STATING
THAT WITH ALL DUE RESPECT.
TO STAFF.
AYE GUIDO HOW BUSY YOUR WEEK
MUST OF BEEN BUT OUR POSITION ON
THE BILL WITH MISSTATED THE
ANALYSIS --
ARE JUNE EIGHTH LETTER CLEARLY
STATES THAT OUR POSITION IS
OPPOSE ENOUGH AMENDED --
BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT WE REALLY --
THINK THAT THE ANALYSIS
OTHERWISE LARGELY REFLECTS THE
CONCERNS OF PCR ON THIS BILL.
BUT WE DO AGREE WITH THE
ASSEMBLYMEMBERS INTENT.
TO UP FURTHER INCIDENT INFILL
DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION AND
UNINCORPORATED SUBURBAN
COMMUNITIES.
SMALL TOWNS AND RURAL
COMMUNITIES.
WE DO NOT FEEL THAT EXTENSION OF
THIS EXISTING CITY EXEMPTION IS
THE WAY TO DO YOU THINK COULD BE
VERY IRESPONSIBLE.
THIS EXEMPTION IS [inaudible]
EXTREMELY OUTDATED.
HOME IT DOES NOT REFLECT CURRENT
CALIFORNIA GOALS FOR CLIMATE OR
EQUITY.
AND OUR NEED FOR THE AFFORDABLE.
TO MEET OUR THE NEEDS OF OUR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS.
WHAT ONE THE EXEMPTION ONLY
DESCRIBED INFILL WAS
SUBSTANTIALLY SURROUNDED WHICH
REALLY DOESN'T HAVE A LEGAL
DEFINITION [inaudible]
EQUAL -- AND
FOR THAT REASON ALONE TO BE.
WIDE.
WILDLY MISINTERPRETED ESPECIALLY
IN UNINCORPORATED SITUATION.
THEM TO THERE NO INCLUSIONARY
AND ANTI DISPLACEMENT PROVISIONS
AS MANY RECENT SEQUESTERING
MONEY HOUSING LAWS PROVIDE.
AND I WILL ADD THAT EVEN.
EVEN SITTING THE DARN US OF OUR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS ASIDE
FOR A MOMENT.
I'M I WANT TO POINT OUT THAT
THERE IS AMPLE EVIDENCE THAT
THIS ISN'T JUST AN EQUITY ISSUE
IT IS ENVIRONMENTALLY.
WELL IF YOU'RE NOT PROVIDE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND
PROTECTING EXISTING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING NEAR DROPS HONORS AND
SERVICES [inaudible] THREE I'M
THE TRAFFIC IMPACT CONDITION AND
I'M OF THE EXISTING EXEMPTION
REALLY NEEDS TO BE UPDATED TO
REFLECT CURRENT --
I'M NOT YET ADOPTED SEQUOIA
GUIDELINES THAT ARE GOING TO
RULE MAKING RIGHT NOW CONCERNING
TRAFFIC ANALYSIS AS PERSON --
FORTY THREE WE HAVE PROVIDED ARE
JUNE EIGHTH LETTER --
A WHAT WE THINK IT'S AN
APPROPRIATE INFO DEFINITION
ADAPTED FROM.
S. B. THREE SEVENTY FIVE TOO TO
WORK FOR COUNTIES.
I'M BEFORE OFFERED INCLUSIONARY
AN ANTI DISPLACEMENT LANGUAGE
THEY'RE BOTH EXTRACTED ADAPTED
FROM S. B. THIRTY FIVE FROM LAST
YEAR -- AND
WE ASK THAT THE COMMITTEE
CONSIDER.
AND THE AUTHOR AGREED --
TO AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD.
IBM ACCORDING TO THESE
RECOMMENDATIONS I KEEP.
ARE YOU IS THE CONCERNED BECAUSE
MY THINKING IS THAT HE'S.
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION IS SO
OUTDATED THAT DEAD BY BRINGING
IN THE YOUNG CORPORATE AREA TO
THE FOLD.
LET ME JUST SAY THE BAD OLD
EXEMPTION IF WE MODERNIZE STATE
AND WE PUT THIS OTHER CRITERIA
THAT WE WOULD.
WE WOULD WANT TO LOOK AT SOME OF
THE CITY PROPERTY WOULD NOT
QUALIFY FOR THE EXEMPTION AND
AND AND THEREFORE THIS NEW THE
PROPOSAL TO ADD THE COUNTY.
AYE AREAS IS IS THAT HEY GREEN
BECAUSE IT IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE
YOU KNOW THAT THAT.
PART OF YOUR OBJECTION IS HERE
IS THAT WE WANT TO BE IN LINE
WITH THE BEST SEEK WERE.
YOU KNOW ANALYSIS THAT WE CAN
HAVE.
ABSOLUTELY A WE ARE SUGGESTING
THAT BOTH THE THIS EXISTING CITY
EXEMPTION SHOULD BE UPDATED AND
MODERNIZED AS WELL TO MEET
CURRENT CALIFORNIA GOALS.
OTHERS OPPOSED TO A. B. AND WE
CAN NOW.
FOR NOT OPPOSE IN SUPPORT SORRY
FOR BEING LATE ON BEHALF OF THE
NATURE CONSERVANCY THINK THE
AUTHOR FOR HIS WORK.
OKAY LET'S CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING [inaudible]
SENATOR [inaudible]
YOU'RE NOT --
CHAIR WERE.
WERE THERE AMENDMENTS THAT YOU
WOULD ASK I MEAN NEW PCL
DISTRICT REFERENCE ON SO.
WE'RE THEIR AMENDMENTS THAT WERE
REQUESTED THAT.
THE AUTHORS NOTE TAKING OR NO
THERE WERE NOT WE WE SUGGESTED A
FIX BUT BEING THAT WE HAVE HAD
AN UNUSUALLY BUSY.
EFFORT BY US AND WE DIDN'T
ACTUALLY HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY
FOR PROPOSED THE AMENDMENTS WE
HAD THIS DISCUSSION LAST YEAR
ABOUT ABOUT --
MODERNIZING THIS CATEGORY OAK
EXEMPTION I MEAN I THINK.
PEOPLE LETTER PART OF THAT --
THIS --
AVENUE OF THE LAW UNDERSTAND
THAT THERE'S A VALUE FOR HAVING
IT CATEGORY EXCEPT EXEMPTION IS
JUST SO OUTDATED THAT BY ADDING
MORE.
PROPERTIES TO IT IN MAKING THAT
COUNTY PROPERTY WHICH ARGUABLY
MAY BE APPROPRIATE YOU MAY CATCH
OTHERS WE BECAUSE WERE NOT.
USING THE BEST AND THE
TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS OF REYES
IS IT CORRECT THAT CURRENT.
I'M SO THAT'S THE THAT'S THE
COULD KNOW THAT WAS MY CONCERN
IN THAT STAFF REPORT REFLECTS
THAT RIGHT.
SO LAST YEAR.
WE HAD A VERY.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S IDENTICAL
BUT CLOSER TO YEAH.
AND THE RECOMMENDATION THE
COMMITTEE AT THAT POINT WAS AYE
NEUTRAL BANG AND THE KIDS IT IS
TODAY IN THE COMMITTEE MOVED IN
ON AND I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S ONE OF THESE WHERE.
DO WE WHAT DO WE PUNISH THE
AREAS THAT ARE EXPERIENCED WHO
WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM THIS
DEVELOPMENT NOW.
FROM THE FACT THAT THE IT'S
OUTDATED.
OR DO WE ALLOW THEM TO MOVE
FORWARD AND THEN ADDRESS THE
FACT THAT IT'S OUTDATED.
IN NORTH NOT THIS YEAR BE GREAT
IF WE COULD THIS YEAR --
BUT WORTH I NEXT YEAR WITH THE
INTERNET COMMITTEE BILL.
WELL ARE JUMPING ON THE WEB
ABOUT THE GOT OUR ANSWER SAYS
THINK.
THIS SERIES SPYING ON THE U.
SYRIAN.
I WAS SERIOUSLY.
YEAH SHOULD A VAST SERIES YOU
HAVE AMENDMENTS.
THE EXEMPTION WAS CREATED BY
STATUTE IN.
PART OF THE THERE A STATUTORY
DIRECTION FOR THE WITHOUT THE
DEATH [inaudible]
COR CALL.
A FINE THROUGH THE GUIDELINES IN
THE IS.
SO I THINK WHAT THEY'RE TRYING
TO DO IS SIMPLY EXPAND THAT OR
DIRECTOR PR TO EXPAND.
YOU BREAK TO ALLOW FOR THEIR OR
YEAH BECAUSE WE CLICKED RIGHT SO
WHAT YOU COULD DO STATUTORILY --
ONE A COUPLE OF THINGS YOU COULD
DIRECTOR PR TO UPDATE THOSE
GUIDELINES TO REFLECT SPECIFIED
CRITERIA THAT THE COMMITTEE
WOULD OR THE THE AUTHOR WHOEVER
WAS UPDATING --
TO MEET SPECIFIC CRITERIA RIGHT
OR YOU COULD DO A STATUTORY
EXEMPTION THAT SPECIFIES THOSE
CRITERIA AND NOT EXEMPTION
STATUTORILY.
TOBY WANT IT YOU CAN DO ONE OF
TWO THINGS.
RIGHT AND AND AND THE IDEA IS
THAT THE BILL BEFORE US WOULD
ADD THE UNINCORPORATED.
AREAS TO THE EXEMPTION THE
AMENDMENT THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
IS TO DIRECT OPR TO DO THAT SO
EITHER WHEN TOGETHER OR YOU
LOOSE TOGETHER IF IT IF IT
SHRINKS.
IT SHRINKS FOR EVERYBODY IF IT
IF IT EXPANDS IT EXPANDS BUT WE
GET THAT MODERNIZATION.
BUT THAT THAT'S I APOLOGIZE I
DON'T HAVE.
THE LANGUAGE AND SO WHAT I WAS
HOPING IS THAT WE COULD WORK ON
ON WHAT THAT LANGUAGE MIGHT BE
WE DON'T HAVE A CHANCE TO DO
THAT BEFORE TODAY --
AND SO IF WE CAN WORK ON THAT IT
YOU KNOW THAT IF THE BILL MOVES
FORWARD THAT WE'D WORK DONE ON
THAT LANGUAGE TO FIND SOMETHING
THAT WOULD WORK FOR EVERYBODY --
HOPEFULLY OR OR NOT --
IN WHICH CASE YOU KNOW I'M SURE
YOU CAN KILL THE BILL AT A
FUTURE DATE.
IS THE BILL GO TO APPROACH YES
YES.
THAT'S WHERE DIED LAST YEAR AND
OKAY AND DON'T KNOW I CAN'T
SPEAK TO THAT CRIMPED VOTE
BECAUSE WELL NOT APPROACH BUT
NOT ON THAT WOULD BE THE CHAIR'S
DESIGN YEAH SURE THE CHEATER
WORK ON AMENDMENTS FOR PROBES.
THAT WE WE A APPROVED THE BILL
BUT WE GIVE DIRECTION TO OP ARE
TO UPDATE AND MODERNIZE THE
DEFINITION OF A AND THE CHIPS
FALL WHERE THEY FALL
[inaudible]
SO.
SO REALLY FEET TRY THIS OUT AND
SEE IF YOU'RE COMFORTABLE
[inaudible]
HER CHAIR.
IF WE MOVE THE BILL.
WITH THE EXPECTATION.
THAT APPROPRIATE WOULD TAKE
[inaudible]
AN AMENDMENT --
THAT'S SATISFIES.
THE EQ COMMITTEE.
REGARDING THE DIRECTION TO OP
ARE.
THAT WOULD UPDATE [inaudible]
THE IS IT A CRITERIA
[inaudible] FOR THE WRITE THE
GUIDELINES THE GUIDELINES FOR
THE EXEMPTION E. ARAB.
YEAH AS REQUEST CLARIFICATION.
WE WERE REALLY TRYING NOT TO
TOUCH THE CITY PART OF THIS WE
WERE JUST TRYING TO MERRILEES
UNDER THE EXEMPTION OVERHAUL
THAT WE DON'T WANT A HOUSE TO
OPEN UP THE CITY SIDE OF IT
BECAUSE THEN WE COULD GET MORE
OPPOSITION.
FROM THE CITIES OR FROM OTHER
PARTIES SO IF IT WAS JUST
STRICTLY ON THE COUNTY SIDE --
AND WE WERE AMENDING THE
GUIDELINES ARE CLARIFYING
STATUTE WHAT COUNTIES HAD TO DO
AND MAYBE WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT
THAN CITIES I STILL DON'T LIKE
THAT BECAUSE IT'S NOT FAIR.
BUT WE'RE WILLING TO DO THAT AS
LONG AS YOU DON'T ROPE AND ALL
THE CITIES AND CHANGE THEIR
EXEMPTION RIGHT WHICH GIVES US
SOME PAUSE BECAUSE WE'RE SAYING.
THESE ARE OUTDATED.
GUIDELINES THAT WERE.
CREATED WORLD WAR WHEN LONG AGO
AND THEY MAY BE PEOPLE ARE
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE CAP
CITIES ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
THE CATEGORY OF EXEMPTION WHICH
IS YOU KNOW.
AND WE GOT A LOT OF FOLKS.
COMING COMPLAINING ABOUT THE
CURRENT SO.
MISTER CHAIR WE COULD.
I MEAN I WOULD PREFER TO DO TO
FIX IT FOR EVERYBODY PUTTING.
GIVEN THAT ISSUE.
WE COULD FIX IT FOR THIS.
THE UNINCORPORATED AREA AND THEN
DO A SEPARATE BILL.
MIGHT NOT HAPPEN THIS
LEGISLATIVE SESSION BUT A
SEPARATE BILL.
THAT UPDATED IT FOR THE CITY'S
[inaudible]
SENATE BILL [inaudible]
I GUESS.
DUNST CLARIFICATION THAT WE HAVE
IS THIS IS NOW BRITAIN AS
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION VERSUS A
STATUTORILY EXEMPTION.
AND IT WOULD BE HAPPY TO LOOK AT
THE STATUTORY ALL EXEMPTION IDEA
A LITTLE BIT MORE COMFORTABLE
ABOUT BECAUSE AGAIN I'M I'M.
THE SHIP IS DRIFTING AWAY AND I
WANT I CAN BE MORE STATUTORY AND
AND AB JEAN RESUMPTION ON THE
COUNTY SIDE LIKELY JUST ADDS
THAT COULD LEAD SEPARATE
OURSELVES FROM THE CITY'S.
THAT MIGHT RESOLVE THE ISSUE FOR
FOR WRITING AND IT GIVES US SOME
LIMITATIONS EVER WILD STATUTES I
CAN DEAL WITH THAT [inaudible]
TOM POOL [inaudible]
OKAY.
WHAT THAT YOU MAY CLOSE I
APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATION I
HOPE -- THIS
IS.
THE FIRST OF OF MULTIPLE THAT
WILL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE
CAN CREATE A STATUTORY ROLE.
EXEMPTION FOR COUNTIES --
AND IF THAT'S IF THAT'S A MEETS
THAT THE WISHES OF THE COMMITTEE.
RESPECT FAST DRIVER.
VERY COMFORTABLE WITH THE IT
GOING NEED TO RE ARTICULATE THE
EARTH WOULD YOU LIKE TO RE
ARTICULATE THE MOTION.
NO WAY YOU I WE HAVE TO MOTIONS
OKAY I'LL TAKE GRAY MOTION LIKE
I FEEL COMFORTABLE OR NOT THAT'S
A THAT'S LONG GONE [inaudible]
OKAY.
AND WE REALLY HAVEN'T SEEN A
LITTLE RED MENDING IT IN THE
NEXT CONCERT WITH THE INTENT AT
ALL MOVE STATUTORY.
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
NUMBER EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT FEET
SQUARE.
AND I FROM THE MEMBER
[inaudible]
FOR CREATION.
BY KATHLEEN FYFFE ES DE I FELT
[inaudible]
YEAH [inaudible]
LARA [inaudible]
YEAH [inaudible]
YEAH. TO FIND IF YOU HAVE
ANOTHER BILL YOU MORE SIR OKAY
THIS IS ITEM. FORTY THREE TWENTY
SEVEN SIXTY SIX WITH THIS ITEM.
FORTY THREE ASSISTANCE.
PLASTIC MARKET DEVELOPMENT
PAYMENT.
MISTER CHAIRMAN SENATORS.
I COME BEFORE YOU TODAY TO
PRESENT AB TWENTY SEVEN SIXTY
SIX A BILL TO REAUTHORIZE
CALIFORNIA'S PLASTIC MARKET
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM.
WHICH INCENTIVIZE IS RE USE OF
CALIFORNIA'S GENERATED OF
RECYCLED BEVERAGE CONTAINER
MATERIAL AND CREATES AND
MAINTAINS JOBS IN CALIFORNIA.
PRIOR TO THE ENACTMENT OF THIS
INCENTIVE PROGRAM VIRTUALLY ALL
OF THE PLASTIC COLLECTED FOR
RECYCLING IN CALIFORNIA WAS
EXPORTED OVERSEAS FOR RECYCLING.
DURING IT'S PRIOR AUTHORIZATION
CALIFORNIA'S --
PMD PROGRAM SUCCEEDED IN
INCREASING BOTH PROCESSING IN
USE OF RECYCLED PLASTIC INSTATE.
A BUDGET TRAILER BILL ALSO
INCLUDES THE REAUTHORIZATION
THIS PROGRAM SO WHY IS THIS BILL
NEEDED.
AS IS SUPPORTERS CAN DISCUSS IN
GREATER DETAIL THERE IS
CONSENSUS AMONG RECYCLING
STAKEHOLDERS THAT THIS PROGRAM
SHOULD BE UPDATED. TO PROVIDE
DIFFERENTIAL PAYMENTS BASED ON
MARKET CONDITIONS.
DISCUSSIONS ARE ONGOING BUT THE
BASIC CONCEPT IS THAT THIS
PROGRAM IS GREATLY NEEDED WHEN
THE PRICE OF VIRGIN PLASTIC AS
LOW AS IT WAS IN.
TWENTY SIXTEEN SEVENTEEN AND
ONLY MINIMALLY NEEDED ONE
VERSION PLASTIC PRICES ARE HIGH.
THE CONCEPT WOULD BE THAT
BANKING THE PMD AT THOSE TIMES
WHEN IT IS LESS NEEDED AN
INCREASE THE LEVEL OF PMD WHEN
IT IS MOST NEEDED.
OUT BE INTERESTED IN MOVING THIS
BILL TO KEEP THOSE DISCUSSIONS
ON TRACK AND EXPECT THAT ANY
CHANGES WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH
THE TRAILER BILL OUT
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE.
AND WITH ME TODAY ARE MARK
MURRAY WITH CALIFORNIANS AGAINST
WASTE AND POETRY.
IF CALIFORNIA PLASTIC RECYCLING
COALITION.
I THINK THE BUDGET TRAILER BILLS
ARE IN CONFLICT.
I MEAN IT IT'S MR MURRAY IF YOU
WANT TO HER ADDRESS AND I WOULD
I THINK WE CAUGHT THAT ONE TO
DURING CONFLICTS WILL GET HAVE
TO RECONCILE THE THE DATES
[inaudible]
SO THAT.
ACCOUNT.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MARK MURRAY WITH
CALIFORNIA GETS WASTE UP TO
ISSUES IN CONFLICT BETWEEN THE
THE TRAILER LANGUAGE IN THIS.
ON ONE IS CAL RECYCLE HAS
PROPOSED --
AN UPDATE IN THE LANGUAGE OF
WHAT A CERTIFIED ENTITY IS AND I
THINK THAT THE AUTHOR IN THE
SUPPORTERS WOULD LIKE TO EMBRACE
THAT SAME LANGUAGE HERE.
THE TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE
EXTENDS THE PROGRAM FOR FOUR AND
HALF YEARS THIS.
EXTENDS THE LANGUAGE THE THE
FUNDING FOR SIX YEARS THE NEXT
EIGHTEEN MONTHS IN THIS.
MIGHT BE NICE TO TO HAVE THAT
EXTENSION.
THE THE DISCUSSION PIECE THAT
THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER WAS
REFERRING --
TO CAME UP HAS BEEN IN
DISCUSSIONS ACTUALLY IN THE
CONTEXT OF A DIFFERENT BILL
RELATED TO OF RECYCLED CONTENT --
IN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE BEVERAGE
INDUSTRY ABOUT THE FACT THAT.
IF THERE IS GOING TO BE
INCREASED USE OF RECYCLED
MATERIAL IN VARIOUS TYPES OF
PACKAGING.
WOULDN'T BE HELPFUL TO FOCUS OUR
RESOURCES RATHER THAN DISHING
THEM OUT EVERY QUARTER WHETHER
THERE NEEDED OR NOT TO FOCUS
THOSE RESOURCES ON TIMES WHEN
THERE IS A ARE.
NO GAP BETWEEN THE VIRGIN AND
THE PRICE OF RECYCLED MATERIAL.
WE AGREE WITH THAT AND WE'RE
TRYING TO REACH AN AGREEMENT
WITH THE BEVERAGE INDUSTRY AND
PLASTIC BOTTLE MAKERS ABOUT THAT.
AND SO THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION
COULD BE OF THE VEHICLE FOR THAT
WE WOULD ABSOLUTELY WANT TO
CORRECT THE BILL LANGUAGE
INCONSISTENCY NAM WHICH AGAIN
RAISE NEW LANGUAGE FROM CAL
RECYCLE.
WOULD REALLY LEAVE IT UP TO THE
LEGISLATURE POLICYMAKERS WHETHER
SINCE IF WE CAN COME UP WITH A
BRILLIANT PLAN FOR MOVING
FORWARD IF WE MIGHT NOT DO THAT
FOR AN EXTRA EIGHTEEN MONTHS AS
PROPOSED IN THIS LEGISLATION
VERSUS THE BUDGET TRAILER.
I THINK IT'S A STEP ANALYSIS
POINTS OUT IS THAT IF IF THERE
IS A CONFLICT WITH CHAPTER RING
THEY'RE GONNA JUST KNOCK OUT THE
OTHER ONE SO I YOU KNOW.
IT'S ONE THING [inaudible]
THE BUDGET.
HAS BEEN APPROVED NOW ONE COMING
AND AFTERWARDS IN SENDING IT
IDEA IE.
THAT'S ABOVE MY PAY GRADE IS
WHAT IS WHAT IS WHAT I'M SAYING
THINK IT'S EXACTLY YOUR PAY GRAY
IF IT'S IF IT'S A IF.
IF WE EXTENDED TO TWENTY TWENTY
TWO WILL BE BACK HERE THOUGH.
MAYBE I WON'T BE HERE FOR SOME
THEY'LL BE HERE --
SO I I THINK I THINK FOR
CONSISTENCY I'M GOING TO HAVE.
TO ASKED WE TAKE BACK THE
EIGHTEEN MONTHS AND AND
RECONCILE WITH THE BUDGET
TRAILER BILL SO THAT.
I KEEP MY JOB [inaudible]
ST.
KNOW WHAT'S GOOD IT POETRY ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
PLASTICS RECYCLING COALITION AND
WHERE THE PEOPLE WHO CLOSE THE
LOOP SO OUR GUYS TAKE THE
BOTTLES AND MAKING AND A NEW
PRODUCT TO MAKE MORE BOTTLES --
HI CLARIFICATION I THINK AS WE
MOVE ALONG KNOCK WOOD IT GETS
SIGNED NOPAL PENCILING HAPPENS
TO WHAT'S THERE SO.
REPUBLICAN LEAVEIT ALONE FOR
NOW AND GO ON TO THE NEXT
COMMITTEE --
OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT NOTHING CHAPTERS ANYTHING
OUT.
WE GET THE BEST WE CAN AND THAT.
BUDGET TRAILER BILL HAS SOME
WERE LANGUAGE TO ABOUT RICK
RETROACTIVITY FOR THIS YEAR.
SO WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THIS
MOVING AS IT IS WE KNOW THAT
THERE WILL BE SOME AMENDMENTS TO
IT OBVIOUSLY IF THE RIGHT THINGS
HAPPENED DOWNSTAIRS.
AND I ASK AND I WILL.

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
SENATORS TRYING TO THREE FOR
THREE AB TWENTY NINE OH WAIT IS
A BILL WHICH WOULD HELP CREATE A
MARKET FOR THE FORTY FOUR
MILLION.
USED TIRES THAT CALIFORNIANS
GENERATE EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
LET ME START BY THANKING THE
COMMITTEE CONSULTANT FOR HER
WORK ON THIS BILL.
AND THIS IS JUST AN AMENDMENT ON
PAGE SEVEN OF THE ANALYSIS --
WOULDN'T IT IF THE MEMBER WILL
CLARIFY THAT THE POLICY GOAL IS
ON AN ANNUAL BASIS I BELIEVE
THAT THE SCHOOL WOULD BE
ADDRESSED IN THE ANNUAL REPORTS
ARE BE HAPPY TO CLARIFY.
SENATORS ILLEGALLY DUMPED TIRES
POSE A SIGNIFICANT COST TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS IN THE STATE LARGE
ABANDONED TIRE PILES OF RESULT
IN WEEKS LONG FIRES AND THE
OVERALL RECYCLING RATE HAS GONE
DOWN THE LAST FOUR YEARS.
IN ORDER TO SUBSTANTIALLY
INCREASE TIRE RECYCLING AB
TWENTY NINE OH WE WILL CREATE
THE TIRE RECYCLING INCENTIVE
PROGRAM.
EMPLOYING A PROVEN MODEL OF
PERFORMANCE BASED INCENTIVE
FUNDING TO SUPPORT TE USE OF
RUBBERIZED PAVEMENT AND OTHER
CONSUMER PRODUCTS MADE FROM USED
TIRES. TO FUND THIS NEW PROGRAM
COVER CYCLE WOULD SPEND IT DOWN
SURPLUS DOLLARS IN THE
CALIFORNIA TIRE RECYCLING
MANAGEMENT FUND WHICH IS UNDER
UTILIZED MONEY THAT SHOULD BE
USED FOR THIS TYPE OF PROGRAM.
WANTED ONCE THE SURPLUS IS DRAWN
DOWN THE BILL WOULD AUTHORIZE A
FEE TO COVER CAL RECYCLES COST
OF REGULATING WASTE TIRES.
I AND A FEW MINUTES YOU WILL
HEAR FROM SOME PARTIES IN
OPPOSITION INCLUDING DOCTOR
BERRY TALK ALL WHO WHO WORKS
CLOSELY WITH MANY OTHER
COMPANIES --
IN OPPOSITION.
MY OFFICE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH
DOCTOR TALK LOU AND I BELIEVE
THAT WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO
RESOLVING A REMAINING MINOR
DIFFERENCES.
COLLEAGUES THE BOTTOM LINE IS
THAT HIGHER RECYCLING IN
CALIFORNIA'S NOT GENERATING THE
RESULTS THAT WE NEED TO THIS
INCENTIVE WILL HELP ESTABLISH A
MARKET FOR USED TIRE DERIVED
PRODUCTS.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE
ON AB TWENTY NINE OH WAIT AND
WITH ME I HAVE NICK LAPIS FROM

TWENTY NINE OH EIGHT AS AMENDED.
AS AMENDED --
I HATE TO BE A DOWNER TODAY OF
BUTTER.
OF MY NAME IS TERRY LOVELL --
I WAS APPOINTED --
TO I WAS AN ADVISER TO WESLEY
CHANCE BURROW BACK IN NINETEEN
NINETY WHEN.
THE INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT
BOARD WORKING WITH --
CAW OF HELPED DEVELOP THE TIRE
PROGRAM BACK THEN.
AND FOR THE LAST TWENTY YEARS I
WAS ALSO WORKING WITH TIRE
RECYCLERS AND THE PUBLISHER OF
CALIFORNIA.
TIRE REPORT --
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT DREW
ME TO THIS BILL WAS THAT --
I I LOOKED AT THE ANALYSIS THIS
TIME AND I SAW THAT A NUMBER.
IN FACT ALMOST ALL THE TIRE
RECYCLERS IN CALIFORNIA JOAN
THEIR OPPOSITION TO THE BILL
ANOTHER SOME DISCUSSIONS GOING
ON TO POSSIBLY RECTIFY SOME OF
THOSE.
CONCERNS BUT I WILL SAY
BASICALLY SINCE I'M NOT I A TIRE
RECYCLER BUT I AM A YOU KNOW
HAVE A LONG HISTORY WORKING WITH
RICK RECYCLERS AND AND
OVERSEEING.
A CAL RECYCLES TIRE PROGRAM OVER
THE LAST. TWENTY EIGHT YEARS.
IS THAT A I'M A DEFENDER OF THE
TIRE GRANT PROGRAM.
THE TIRE GRANT PROGRAM STARTED
OUT -- SMALL.
BUT IT DID --
ACCESS FULLY.
A REMOVED 90% OF THE TIRES ON A
FROM THE WASTE FLOW FOR GOING
INTO LANDFILLS.
IT'S BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL --
HALF OF THE TIRES ARE RECYCLED
WITH WHAT'S CONSIDERED RECYCLE
MOSTLY RUBBERIZED ASPHALT --
A PLAYGROUND COVERS AND OF RIP
RUNNING TRACKS THAT TYPE OF
THING [inaudible]
IN ITS MIGHT MIGHT THINK MY
CONCERN IS THAT WE'RE ONLY
SPENDING EIGHT TO TEN MILLION
DOLLARS ON THIS GRANT PROGRAM.
WHEN IN FACT?
CAL RECYCLE HAS A FORTY MILLION
DOLLAR ANNUAL INCOME FROM THE
TIRE FEE [inaudible]
AND THERE'S A HUGE SURPLUS.
MY THINKING IS ALL ALONG IS THAT
IF THIS PROGRAM HAD BEEN
CORRECTLY ADMINISTERED.
THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN --
GREATER OUTREACH THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS SCHOOLS CITIES AND
COUNTIES IN THE LIKE A SPECIAL
DISTRICTS.
ARM AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN OF
OF MORE MONEY AVAILABLE
[inaudible]
THAT WAS.
ULTIMATELY BECAME SURPLUS.
AND WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT 75%
RECYCLING RIGHT NOW.
MY MY CONCERN ABOUT MOVING TO AN
INCENTIVE PROGRAM AND I'VE
LOOKED AT WHAT AS MY JOB AS A
PUBLISHER LOOKING AT THESE
PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE STATE'S.
THROUGHOUT CANADA THROUGHOUT
EUROPE IS THAT SOME ARE REALLY
FRAUGHT WITH [inaudible]
WITH --
COSTS WILL COST OVERRUNS AND
SOME ARE FRAUGHT WITH FRAUD.
AND RIGHT NOW WE'VE NEVER HAD A
PROBLEM OF THAT WITH OUR WITH
OUR CURRENT TIRE GRANT PROGRAM --
I THINK IT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO.
ARM I JUST THINK THAT --
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT GIVING
EIGHT TO TEN MILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR FOR THE GRANT PROGRAM AND
ALL THE SUDDEN IN THE
LEGISLATION IT'S THIRTY MILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR. FOR THE
INCENTIVE PROGRAM --
MY CONCERN IS THIS INCENTIVE
PROGRAM IS GOING TO TAKE YEARS
TO DEVELOP.
IT WILL BE DONE ON A PIECEMEAL
BASIS IT WILL COST A TREMENDOUS
AMOUNT OF MONEY. TO FOR OUTREACH
TO DEVELOP THE PROGRAM AND TO
CONNECT WITH THE VARIOUS --
CITIES COUNTIES SPECIAL DISTRICT
SCHOOLS AND THE LIKE THAT ARE
GOING TO BENEFIT FROM IT.
I HAD NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
ULTIMATELY IT MAY IT MAY WORK
BUT IT MAY NOT MY SUGGESTION IS
AND IT HAS BEEN.
THIS IN THE PAST IS ALWAYS THAT
WE TRY TO WORK WITH THIS TIRE
GRANT PROGRAM.
GIVE IT A CHANCE AND IF IT
DOESN'T WORK IN A COUPLE YEARS
THEN YOU START LOOKING AT OTHER
OPTIONS BUT THIS IS.
THIS IS WHAT THIS IS THE THING
THAT I FEEL PRETTY STRONGLY
ABOUT THAT THIS.
INCENTIVE PROGRAM IS REALLY AN
UNKNOWN PICTURE THERE
[inaudible]
NEXT HI AJAK LADONNA FROM BEHALF
CALIFORNIA TIRE DEALERS
ASSOCIATION THE AUTOMOTIVE
SERVICE COUNCILS OF CALIFORNIA.
AND THE CALIFORNIA AUTOMOTIVE
BUSINESS COALITION AND WE'RE
OPPOSED TO THE BILL PRIMARILY
BECAUSE OF THE THE THE BILL
GIVES THE ABILITY OF CAL RECYCLE
TO INCREASE THE TIRE FEE UP TO A
DOLLAR.
AND THIS IS ON TOP OF THE
EXISTING DOLLARS SEVENTY FIVE
THAT THEY CURRENTLY --
RECEIVE SO YOU'LL HAVE A TOTAL
OF TWO DOLLARS AND SEVENTY FIVE
CENTS FOR EACH NEW TIRE THAT
SOLD IN CALIFORNIA.
AND WAS SET OF FOUR TIRES THAT'S
ELEVEN DOLLARS IN FEES AND THESE
FEES BECAUSE CONSUMERS.
IN WORKING FAMILIES TO DIFFER --
ON OCCASION DEFERRED THE
PURCHASE OF TIRES --
AND AND THEY CONTINUE TO DRIVE
LONGER ON ON UNSAFE TIRES KNOW
THAT IN THE PRICE OF NEW TIRES
YEAH THAT ON TOP OF THE PRICE
THE NEW TIRES AND PART PRICE IN
THE END UP ON TOP OF THE
DISPOSAL FEE.
SO WE FEEL THERE'S IS REALLY AT
THIS POINT THERE'S NO NEED --
THERE'S A FOR THE ADDITIONAL
DOLLAR AS WAS MENTIONED EARLIER --
BY TERRY THAT THERE IS A SURPLUS
THERE'S A SURPLUS MONEY --
THAT THAT THEY HAD THAT CAL
RECYCLE HOUSE OUT THERE IN FACT
SOME OF THE SURPLUS IS READ
SEVENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR.
SO WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THAT --
THE THAT THE THE CURRENT TIRE
FEE THE THE FEES THAT ARE
CURRENTLY GENERATE BE SPENT
RESPONSIBLY --
AND BEFORE IMPOSING IN AND OTHER
IT.
TIRE FEE UPON CONSUMERS THAT'S
OUR POSITION THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
HOME VERY TACKLE TO DOES YOUR
COMPANY HOME PRISON THE OUT
THERE SERUM COMPANY WE HAVE
OPERATIONS IN CALIFORNIA ARIZONA
NEW YORK AND AND NOW ON TO
CANADA --
WOULD BELIEVE YOU HAVE DONE IT
EXCELLENT JOB AND I RECYCLING
STILL CALIFORNIA'S MY FACT
CALIFORNIA HE'S BEEN.
A NOT ONLY NATIONALLY
INTERNATIONALLY KNOWN THAT IS
SUCCESSFUL TIRED CYCLING PROGRAM.
AND AT THIS MOMENT OPPOSITION
WHOEVER I HAD A VERY GOOD
CONVERSATION WOULD ALTER.
ASSEMBLYMAN --
OF BERMAN AND HAVE THE ALPHA TWO
PRIMARY CONCERNS ABOUT THIS
WHICH WE ARE GETTING THE CLOSE
ABOUT IT.
NUMBER ONE THREE LIKE AT LEAST
FIFTY PER SCHOOLS TO CITIES AND
COUNTIES FOR USE OF RUBBER
MODIFIED ASPHALT.
AND NUMBER TWO WILL WE LIKED DE.
INCENTIVES GOES TO WILLIAM
MANUFACTURES OFTEN PRODUCTS
RATHER PRODUCT IN FROM TO
CALIFORNIA MANUFACTURERS.
A BLIGHTED THEY'LL MIKE ALFA
MANUFACTURING TO TRY RECYCLERS
WHICH IS NOT FOR ME.
SO WE BELIEVE DEVELOPMENT THAT.
IN.
A LOCAL SUSTAINABLE TIRED
CYCLING PROGRAM.
IS VERY IMPORTANT AND IT'S SHOWN.
EVEN IN OTHER COUNTRIES LIKE
FRANCE [inaudible]
SPAIN ITALY.
ED IT DID.
HI INCENTIVES ACTUALLY THE
NUMBER OF TO TRY RECYCLING IS IS
IS WENT DOWN FRIENDS TO USE
STUFF FIFTEEN TIRE RECYCLING
FACILITIES.
NOW YOU'RE DOWN.
TO THREE AND LIGHTEN THE DOUGH
CONFERENCE THREE WEEKS AGO IN
COLOGNE GERMANY.
SO IT'S IT'S WE GOTTA BE CAREFUL
IS ALL OF THESE INCENTIVES TO
MAKE SURE WE GIVE UP THEIR LOCAL
MARKET DEVELOPMENT BUT ALL THEY
HAVE TO BE THE CONVERSATION I
WOULD ALTER AND AND I'M WAITING
WE GONNA REACHED IT.
AND CONSENSUS ZACKS IRAN
FLANAGAN ON BEHALF OF THE
INSTITUTE'S REPRESENTING
INDUSTRIES WE JUST ECHO THE
REMARKS --
BY MISTER TACKLE AND WILL
CONTINUE WITH THE AUTHORS OFFICE
BUT RIGHT NOW RESPECTFULLY
OPPOSE THANKS.
THANK YOU CATHERINE BRANDENBURG
REPRESENTING LINCOLN TIRES ALSO
WE ECHO ON THE COMMENTS THAT WE
JUST MADE AND WE LOOK FOR TO
REMOVING OPPOSITION.
OKAY A LET'S CLOSE PUBLIC
HEARING BRING IT BACK TO THE DAY
S. I AM THE ONLY ONE HERE.
TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE THIS
BREAKDOWN OF HOW THE FUNDS WILL
BE USED WHETHER IT'S BLATANT
MANUFACTURES RIGHT NOW WE DON'T
HAVE THAT WE'RE JUST GONNA GIVE
IT TO CAL RECYCLE THAT'S IS IT
IS SEE YOUR IDEA THAT THEY
DEVELOPED THAT.
THE PROGRAM IS A SEE FIT RIGHT.
I MEAN THIS DOESN'T HAVE ANY
DIRECTION OF OF 50% INCENTIVE
FOR CITY AND COUNTY DOESN'T STOP
THE CALORIE CYCLE FROM DOING
THAT.
WHEN I THOUGHT SO BACK CURRENT
LANGUAGE THE 50% THE MONEY WILL
GO TO PAVING --
THAT THAT QUESTION WE'RE
DISCUSSING IS WHO WOULD BE THE
ENTITY THAT WE GET THAT MONEY
WOULD IT BE A CONTRACTOR THAT
SEEING THE PAVING PROJECT OR
WOULD IT BE.
THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT --
THEIR PROS AND CONS OF BOTH
SIDES.
AND THAT THAT COMPROMISE
POSITION IS THAT AT LEAST HALF
OF THE MONEY WOULD HAVE TO GO TO
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
AND THE OTHER HALF COULD
POTENTIALLY GO --
TO PRIVATE ENTITIES AND WE THINK
THAT'S THE COMPROMISE THAT.
REMOVES MISTER TOPLESS CONCERNS --
PRESUMABLY BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT
ALL THIS --
PAVING THAT THERE COULD BE DOING
ANYWAY [inaudible]
OKAY.
I WANT YOU CLOSE.
I APPRECIATE --
THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE
BEEN HAVING OVER THE LAST COUPLE
OF MONTHS --
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A
VOTE IN EACH OF PAGE SEVEN A YES
THE AUTHOR MEMBERS YES.

STILL HAVING CONVERSATIONS WERE
CLOSE SCHOOL WHICH KNOW WERE NOT
RIGHT THAT FULLY BAKED YET.
OKAY UP PLEASE KALRA.

ITEM FORTY NINE AB TWENTY NINE

ABSENT MEMBERS CITY VERY MUCH
MAJORITY LEADER CALDERON.
WELCOME WHAT'S TALK ABOUT
[inaudible]
PLUS EXTRAS.
ITEM NUMBER NINE MEMBERS SENIOR.
MOVING RIGHT ALONG.
STILL IN SINGLE DIGITS.
OKAY.
MY AND MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE
HAS OUTLINED IN THE STAFF REPORT
IS THAT.
YOU WERE ACCEPTING AMENDMENTS ON
THE DEFINITION OF A STRAW.
HERE ACCEPTING AMENDMENTS OF
MOVING TO A PUBLIC RESOURCE CODE
AND YOU'RE ACCEPTING AMENDMENTS
ON INSERTING --
PRINCIPAL LANGUAGE HYDROMETER.
FOR FIVE RIGHT OKAY.
HAD DIFFERENT FOUR FIVE EIGHT
AND THEN NOT ACCEPTING IT ON THE
STUDY AND NOT ACCEPTING ON
SWITCHING ENFORCEMENT.
I PEARL CLEAR PLEASE PROCEED
THANK YOU --
BECAUSE PARKS OPEN.
I'M NOT A LIBERAL POINT --
YEAH A SINGLE USE PLASTIC --
IN OUR ENVIRONMENT.
IN THIS STATE IN THIS COUNTRY
EVERYWHERE --
SINGLE USE PLASTIC STRAWS ARE A
BIG PART OF THAT --
THIS IS SIX MOST PREVALENT ITEM
THAT'S BEEN PICKED UP IN BEACH
CLEAN UP HERE THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA YOU HEAL THE BAY
THEIR STUDY OF HON THOUSAND
STRAWS PICKED UP CALIFORNIA
BEACHES.
OR LAST FEW YEARS ARE AND SO THE
POINT OF THIS BILL IS TO TO A
FIND AN OPPORTUNITY TO LIMIT THE
USE OF SINGLE USE PLASTIC STRAWS
BUT THEN ALSO USE IT AS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD AWARENESS
OF THE PROBLEM THAT SINGLE USE
PLASTICS LIKE STRAWS.
I AND I THINK THAT THAT'S WHAT
WE'VE WE'VE REALLY BEEN ABLE TO
SEE SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF
THIS BILL ALL THIS BILL WOULD
REQUIRE IS THAT IF YOU GO INTO A
DINING RESTAURANT.
WHERE YOU'RE BEING SERVED --
BY SERVER --
WAITER WAITRESS.
THAT IF YOU WANNA STRIKING HAVE
A STRIKE JUST HAVE TO ASK FOR IT
AND THAT'S THE POINT OF THE BILL
THAT'S ALL THAT THAT THE BILL
DOES -- IN
AGAIN.
YOU KNOW I WANT TO MOVE THE THE
BALL FORWARD I WON AND CONTINUE
TO BUILD ON A CONVERSATION THAT
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO START HERE IN
CALIFORNIA ABOUT THE DAMAGES OF
SINGLE USE CLASSICS.
ARE AROUND THE WORLD AND I
PURPOSEFULLY STRUCTURED THE BILL
THIS WAY BECAUSE I WANTED TO GET
SOMETHING THROUGH THE
LEGISLATURE AND I WANT TO GET
SOMETHING ON THE GOVERNOR'S DESK
BECAUSE IF WE HAVE A PROBLEM
THAT WERE OVER HERE NOW IN THIS
WHERE WE NEED TO BE.
EASIER TO MAKE THIS JOHN.
ARE IN SO WE CAN GET THE GOLF
BALL MOVING FORWARD AND THEN THE
NEXT THE NEXT JUMP --
CAN COME ALONG AYE BECAUSE WE'VE
WE'VE SHORTENED AND NARROWED
THAT DISTANCE AND AND SO I THIS
BILL WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON ON
THE USE OF SINGLE OUT.
OF PLASTIC STRAWS BY LIMITING
THEM IN RESTAURANTS SITUATIONS
BECAUSE BE GOING TO RESTAURANT
AT PUT PLASTIC STRAW DOWN THE
TABLE AND WHETHER YOU USE IT OR
NOT --
THAT'S GOING IN THE TRASH FOR
HEALTH AND SAFETY.
ELIMINATE THE YOU LIMIT THEM
THERE YOU WOULD YOU DO IT UPON
REQUEST --
AND YOU KNOW I THINK THAT THIS
IT REALLY STARTS AN IMPORTANT
CONVERSATION AGAIN YOU KNOW YOU
EUROPEAN UNION'S CONSIDERING
LEGISLATION --
TO BAN SINGLE USE PLASTIC NOT
JUST ROSTER UTENSILS ARE
MCDONALD'S UK IS GONNA BE
FINDING AN ALTERNATIVE NOW TO
SINGLE USE PLASTIC STRAWS.
THE MCDONALD'S IN THE UNITED
STATES IS NOW --
LOOKING INTO WHAT IS AN
ALTERNATIVE TO PLASTIC STRAWS --
TO USE IN OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE
UNITED STATES STROSS DRAWS RIGHT.
I THINK LOOKING AT STRAW STRAW.
REAL STRAW FOR STRAWS YEAH WELL
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY LOOK AT
WHATEVER THEY WANT AS LONG AS
THEY WERE THE PLASTIC ONES --
AND SO I YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS A
MOVEMENT AND CONTINUES TO GROW
PEOPLE KEEP COMING COMING OUT --
BUT THERE'S GONNA BE MORE
PLASTIC IN THE OCEAN BY THE YEAR
TWENTY FIFTY AND THEN THERE ARE
FIFTY THE PROBLEM WERE LEADER IN
THIS FIELD WHAT WE DO HERE
MATTERS NATIONALLY AND I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE GET
SOMETHING TO BOTH HOUSES OF THE
LEGISLATURE.
AND SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR THIS
IS THAT BILL ON SO I'M
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE
IN WITH ME TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT.
IS KELLY MCBEE REPRESENTED
CALIFORNIA'S AGAINST WAYS AND
AMY WALL FROM REPRESENTING
MONTEREY BAR.
BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION AS
DRAFTED RIGHT NOW IT APPEARS
THAT.
IN CHINA AND RESTAURANT COULD BE
A LITTLE BIT BROADER THAN AND
EIGHT TO INCLUDE SOMETHING LIKE
STARBUCKS IN HIS.
SO WHAT WHAT WHAT WE WANTED TO
DO IN THIS COMMITTEE BUT WE'RE
MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO IN THE
NEXT IS TO KIND OF SPECIFY THE
LANGUAGE A LITTLE BIT MORE TO
MAKE SURE IT IS A DINING
RESTAURANT WHERE YOU ARE BEING
SERVED SO THAT.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT YOU DON'T
YOU KNOW IT'S A YOU KNOW YOU'RE
GOING TO A COUNTER AND YOU'RE
BEING SERVED AND THEY HAVE
STRAWS OUT THERE WITH THAT WOULD
APPLY OR POSSIBLY GOING TO LIKE
A DRIVE THROUGH.

IMPORTANT STEP IN HELPING US
RECOGNIZE OUR RELATIONSHIP A
SINGLE USE PLASTIC.
SKIPPING PLASTIC STRAWS IS AN
EARLY STEP IN UNDERSTANDING THE
PROBLEM PLASTIC POLLUTION AND
AWAY BEGIN MAKING IMMEASURABLE
REDUCTION.
REALLY THOUGH PLASTIC STRAWS ARE
JUST A SMALL PEACH PIECE OF A
MUCH LARGER PROBLEM IT'S
ASSEMBLY.
MAJORITY LEADER CALDERON JUST
SAID A LOT OF THE PLASTIC WE USE
ON LAND IS MAKING ITS WAY INTO
THE OCEAN AN OCEAN ANIMALS ARE
MISTAKING IT FOR FOOD AND
BECOMING ENTANGLED IN IT.
BOTH OF WHICH CAN HAVE SERIOUS
CONSEQUENCES FOR THE HEALTH OF
THE OCEANS WILDLIFE.
CONDITIONS IN THE OCEAN BREAK.
PLASTIC LIKE STRAWS INTO SMALLER
PIECES CALLED MICRO PLASTIC AND
SCIENTISTS ARE JUST BEGINNING TO
GET THEIR ARMS AROUND HOW MUCH
LIKE A PLASTIC IS IN THE OCEAN.
THE RESEARCH IS NEW AND WE DON'T
HAVE A CURRENTLY HAVE A GOOD
UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THIS MAY
IMPACT HUMAN HEALTH BUT WE DO
KNOW ENOUGH TO ACT.
ESPECIALLY TO START REDUCING
ELIMINATING THE SOURCES OF OCEAN
PLASTIC POLLUTION.
IT IS OUR HOPE THAT TODAY AND
INTO THE FUTURE WE CAN CONTINUE
TO WORK TOGETHER TO TAKE ACTION
TO PROTECT HER OCEAN IMPORTANT
EVERY SPECIES INCLUDING US.
AND BEGIN TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT
OF SINGLE USE PLASTIC FLOWING
INTO OR OCEAN HOWEVER IT GETS
THERE.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR
ATTENTION AND CONTINUED
LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE AND WE
HOPE YOU WILL SUPPORT THIS
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION.

FOUR SEEKS ITS TAKE THE FIRST
STEP IN TACKLING PLASTIC STRAW

CONSUMERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM.
IN MAKING THE SHIFT TO A
STATEWIDE STRAWS UPON REQUEST
POLICY AS OPPOSED OTHER
POLLUTION PREVENTION STRATEGIES
LIKE BANDS AB EIGHTEEN EIGHTY
FOUR WOULD PROVIDE CALIFORNIANS
WOULD OPPORTUNITIES. TO BE
EMPOWERED BY THEIR DAILY ABILITY

WANT A PLASTIC STRAW --
AND TO MAKE OTHER DECISIONS
ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL CONSUMPTION

AYE SIMULTANEOUSLY OF THIS
MEASURE SERVICE AS A CATALYST TO
GET PEOPLE THINKING ABOUT THEIR
OVERALL PLASTIC CONSUMPTION AND
TO ASK THE QUESTIONS ABOUT ITEMS
LIKE STRIDES OF DO I REALLY NEED

WAY THAT WE UNDERSTAND PLASTIC
BAGS.
TODAY.

AND THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
SOME AMENDMENTS AROUND THAT AS
WELL AND SO BURKE WAIF WHERE
LOOK I'M LOOKING TO SATISFY THE
CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE FOR IT
WITH IN THEIR LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS AND I THINK
THEY'RE REASONABLE.
I MEAN BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE
EXEMPTIONS FOR COMMUNITY PLANS
AND FOR SPECIFIC PLANS GOT
CITIES HAVE PUT TOGETHER THAT
THEY SAY SO IT'S NOT
INCONCEIVABLE THAT SOMEBODY
WOULD HAVE A SPECIFIC PLAN THAT
MATCHES ONE OF THESE. SEVEN
HUNDRED EIGHTY NINE OPPORTUNITY
SOUNDS AND THAT JUST BECOMES THE
VEHICLE TO MAKE IT WORK WE NOW
THERE'S MONEY WHICH IS ALWAYS
HAS A AN INGREDIENT AND THAT.
THAT ALWAYS GIVES US MORE
ASSURANCE THAT THERE'S BEEN THAT
TIME THAT'S GONE AND WITH THE
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS SPECIFIC
PLAN AND WHATEVER THEY'RE DOING
WHETHER HOUSING IS APPROPRIATE
WHICH IS.
THE GOAL OF THIS RIGHT VERSES.
MCDONALDS OR WHATEVER UP
WHATEVER --
IT WAS [inaudible]
OKAY.
CENTER STERN YET AND JUST TO
FURTHER REFINE THE POINT I THINK.
THE THE THE THE CRESCENT
QUESTION REALLY WAS CAN THAT
GENERAL PLAN CERTIFICATION GET
TO THAT LEVEL OF GRANULARITY
THAT THE SPECIFIC PLAN HABITS
RIGHT SO LIKE IF YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT AN AREA SPECIFIC PLAN AND
NOW WAS THE ISSUE I'D REYES WAS --
EITHER A PROJECT LEVEL OR AN
AREA LEVEL BUT NOT THAT GENERAL
PLAN LEVEL THAT WON'T GO INTO
THAT SORT OF SOIL ANALYSES AND
ALL THIS SORT OF ON SITE
MITIGATION ISSUES.
JUST TO TRY TO SUMMARIZE BACK ON
THAT TOPIC SO WE ARE TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT HOW.
TO LAND SOMETHING THAT DEALT
WITH.
THOSE GRANULAR KIND OF IMPACTS
RIGHT AND SO.
YEAH I'M JUST LIKE I GUESS THE
THAT THE I WASN'T HERE BUT IF
THE QUESTION IS WHETHER A
SPECIFIC PLAN COULD HAVE THIS
SECRET EXEMPTION THE PROBABLY
THE ANSWER RECALL TODAY DISTINCT
SICK WIGS EMPTION DOESN'T.
EXIST BUT THEY DO GET A SEQUEL
EXEMPTION OUT YOU KNOW BECAUSE
THEY'RE OF OF THIS YEAR THE
PACIFIC FIND THE SAME THING WITH
A COMMUNITY PLAN.
SO I IE I'M [inaudible]
MISSING THE THE IDEA TO TAKE
[inaudible] SIX PLAN AND HAVE
THEM TAKE THIS EXEMPTION
[inaudible]
IT.
IT ALREADY EXISTS AYE AYE AYE
YEAH WHITMAN OF THAT ALTHOUGH I
DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WILL BE
THE BENEFIT OF THAT I THINK YOUR
GOAL IS TO SAY HERE THESE
OPPORTUNITIES SOUNDS I WANT TO
HAVE A SEPARATE EXEMPTION. FOR
THEM THAT'S GREAT I'M.
I PROBLEMS WITH THAT WE'VE
TALKED IT WE TALKED ABOUT THAT
TO ME IS JUST ISSUES TOO MUCH I
THINK THAT THERE'S SOMETHING
HERE ON THESE OPPORTUNITIES
SOUNDS --
THAT.
HAS INTRIGUED ME WHAT THE
PRODUCTION OF YOUR YOUR BILL AND
I YEAH Y. SHARE YOUR ENTHUSIASM
TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SKILLET HOT I'M.
I AGES THEY'RE FLAT OUT
EXEMPTION FOR OPPORTUNITY SINCE
THE DAY AND NOT SOMETHING THAT
CAN SUPPORT BUT THAT'S SORT OF
WHAT MY THE BENEFIT OF MY
THINKING AT THAT AT THE TIME.
ARM.
OKAY BUT WE WILL SO I DON'T.
I DON'T KNOW [inaudible]
IF.
WE WANTED JUST DO A MOTION TO
PASS AS THE BILL IS.
BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE SENATOR
SKIN HER.
AND CUT IN I OF THESE.
TRUNCATED THE TRUNCATED ARM
[inaudible]
OKAY SO THERE'S A MOTION TO MOVE
THE BILL [inaudible]
AS IS AS IS.
TOM ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE THE
IN AM I A I CAN ASSURE THE
COMMITTEE AND WE'VE HAD A PRETTY
ROBUST DISCUSSION AS WELL AS
SOME SOME.
DISCUSSION OUTSIDE OF THE ROOM
IN TERMS OF OF WAYS TO BE ABLE
TO TIGHTEN IT UP.
I'M I RECOGNIZE IT IT'S IT'S
VERY AMBITIOUS AND UP BUT
THERE'S THERE'S A A WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY.
AND IN FRANKLY --
MY CONCERN IS THAT WE HAVE SOME
OF THE POOREST COMMUNITIES.
THAT DESPERATELY NEED THE
INFUSION OF DOLLARS AND THIS
STATE DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH
DOLLARS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS
HAPPEN IN SO THIS IS IT.
ABOUT.
AN OPPORTUNITY THAT I JUST THINK
THAT WE CAN'T.
NOT TAKE AND SO I'M WE'VE HAD
SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT SOME
AMENDMENTS THAT I THINK WOULD
WOULD HELP TO TIGHTEN IT.
SO THAT WE DON'T END UP WITH A
SITUATION WHERE A COMMUNITY
HASN'T DONE WHAT THEY'RE
SUPPOSED TO DO.
THEY CAN BELOW THEY WILL BE
LIKELY MAKE THE FINDINGS WITHOUT
ANY.
ANY BASIS FOR DOING IT AND MOVE
FORWARD AND WANT TO MAKE SURE
WE'RE PROTECTING THE COMMUNITY
AS WELL VERY INTERESTED IN THAT
SO THERE'S BEEN SOME AMENDMENTS
SUGGESTED.
I'M WILLING TO CONTINUE WORKING
ON IT AND TO CONTINUE WORKING
WITH THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND
THE CHAIR AS WELL.

OF THE WORST AND MOST EVERYTHING
FIRES IN STATE HISTORY WHICH
BURNED OVER MILLION ACRES OF

IN THE SANTA BARBARA REGION
SPECIFICALLY SOME OF THESE FIRES
FOLLOWED BY HEAVY RAIN RESULTED
IN DEADLY MUDSLIDES AND
DESTROYED OVER FOUR HUNDRED
HOMES.
AND KILLED OVER TWENTY ONE
INDIVIDUALS.
THESE TRAGEDIES HAVE HIGHLIGHTED
THE NEED FOR MEASURES TO BOTH
PREVENT FUTURE FIRES AS WELL AS
IMPLEMENT.
SLOPE AS STABLE AS SLOPE
STABILIZING STRATEGIES AFTER A
FIRE.
AB NINETEEN EIGHTY ONE HELPS
ADDRESS BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS
BY BRINGING CAO FIRE AND THE

ORGANIC MATERIALS AND COMPOST
WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT HAS
SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS FIRST
INCLUDING PACK HELLFIRE AND ITS
HUMOR TELLY TASK FORCE IN

DIALOGUE ABOUT REMOVING DEAD --
OR DYING TREES THAT WOULD
OTHERWISE POSE A FIRE RISK
SECOND IT WOULD SPARK
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE USE OF

FLY AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER MENTIONED
IT ALREADY.
IT IS ALREADY PASSED IN TRYING
TO HAVE VARIOUS AGENCIES TALK
ABOUT HOW TO DEAL WITH ARE --
VARIOUS WE STE REDUCTION GOALS.
IN THIS CASE WE WERE ACTUALLY
LOOKING AT IS HOW DO WE ALSO
INCLUDE THE POSSIBILITY OF USING
WOODY BIOMASS FROM OUR FORESTS.
ARE BOTH FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF
TAKING MATERIAL THAT PROBABLY
NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM OUR
FORESTED LAND.
USING IT TO MAKE COMPOST WHICH
IS VERY USEFUL.
ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
EQUATION WITH THE OTHER ELEMENT
OF THIS BILL THAT HELPS AT LEAST
PROVIDE SOME INCENTIVE THERE.
IS THE NOTION YOU COULD PUT THAT
COMPOST ON THE SCARRED LANDS
AND CREATE A REALLY.
POSITIVE OUTCOME WHEN YOU'RE
TRYING TO REAP ITS READABILITY
THOSE LANDS.
A WE WOULD SAY THAT DOING THIS
ACROSS THE BOARD ALLOWS YOU TO
BOTH INCREASE CO TWO EQUIVALENCE
DE THROUGH THE SPECIAL MENU
VALUE IT FROM THE LIFE CYCLE.
YOU INCREASE PROVE WATER QUALITY --
IN YOU IMPROVE THE RESTORATION
OF THE LANDS THAT ARE SCARRED.
A WE DO DO APPRECIATE THE
TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS SUGGESTED
IN THE BILL ESPECIALLY THE IDEA
THAT WE'RE JUST GOING TO
INCENTIVIZE THE CONVERSATION
BETWEEN THESE AGENCIES WERE NOT
NECESSARILY MANDATING CAO FIRED
TO DO THIS.
WE THINK THAT CONVERSATION THEY
WILL APPROVE A LEAD TO POSITIVE
OUTCOMES IN SUPPORT THINKING A
MULCHING WILL SPEAK.

MANUFACTURERS.
ACCOUNTABLE FOR HARM CAUSED BY
THEIR PROMOTION MARKETING OF
THEIR LEAD BASED PAINT PRODUCTS.
EXPOSURE TO LEAD CAN SERIOUSLY
HARM A CHILD HEALTH.
EVEN A SLIGHT ELEVATION IN BLOOD
LEVELS CAN REDUCE AYE Q. AND
STUNT DEVELOPMENT ACCORDING TO
THE CDC MILLIONS OF CHILDREN ARE
EXPOSED.
ARE ARE BEING EXPOSED TO LEAD IN
THEIR HOMES TO EATING LEAD BASED
PAINT INCREASING THEIR RISK FOR
DAMAGE TO THE BRAIN AND NERVOUS
SYSTEM SLOWED GROWTH AND
DEVELOPMENT.
LEARNING AND BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS
HEARING AND SPEECH PROBLEMS IN
TWO THOUSAND A COMPLAINT WAS
FILED IN ONE ON BEHALF OF THE
PEOPLE OF SIERRA CALIFORNIA
AGAINST THREE MAJOR PAINT
MANUFACTURERS THAT FOUND.
THE FORMER LEAD PAINT
MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBLE FOR
PROMOTING LEAD PAINT FOR USE IN
HOMES DESPITE THEIR KNOWLEDGE
THAT THE PRODUCT WAS HIGHLY TAX
TOXIC.
INSPITE OF THE COURT'S FINDINGS
THE PAYMENT OF PICTURES ARE
PROPOSING AN INITIATIVE FOR THE
TWENTY EIGHTEEN STATEWIDE
BALLOTS THAT WOULD RELIEVE PAIN
MANUFACTURES OF LIABILITY AND DO
THE ACTIONS OF MULTIPLE COURTS
AND PUT THE SOLE FINANCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY ON CALIFORNIA
HOMEOWNERS FOR CLEANUP.
LEAD CONTAMINATED PAINT.
IF ENACTED THE INITIATIVE WOULD
COST TAXPAYERS THREE POINT NINE
BILLION AB TWENTY TO THREE WILL
ENSURE THAT THOSE AFFECTED BY
LET PAY BLED BASE PAINT TO ARE
ABLE TO RECOVER A BEAMING COST
FROM LEAD PAINT MANUFACTURERS IF
NECESSARY.
BASED ON THE DOZENS OF THE
COURTS IT SEEMS TO BE A RESPONSE
I REASONABLE PROPOSAL WITH ME
TODAY IS BILL ELLIOTT ON THE
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP AND
AYE JENNY LAM DEPUTY CAO AT
COUNSEL FOR SANTA CLARA COUNTY.
TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE
COMMITTEE MAY HAVE.
PART OF THE BRIEF BILL ELLIOTT
ENVIRONMENT WORKING GROUP HERE
BEFORE THE EQ COMMITTEE THIS IS
A SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEM THIS
COMMITTEES HEARD BILLS ON LEAD
LAST YEAR AND YOU KNOW WHEN
LATER TODAY [inaudible]
CHILDREN I IT'S KNOWN FACT THAT
CHILDREN WILL EVEN LICK WALLS
NOT JUST EAT PAINT CHIPS SO THIS
BILL IS REALLY NECESSARY TO
COUNTER WHAT THE PAIN IS TREE OF
THE PAST WAS DONE AND EXPOSE
CHILDREN.
TO THIS HAZARD [inaudible]
NEXT.
GOOD AFTERNOON JENNY LAM FROM
THE SENATE CLARA COUNTY
COUNCIL'S OFFICE AB TWENTY EIGHT
NO THREE IT'S A CRITICAL PIECE
OF LEGISLATION TO FLY INTO
CODIFY LEGAL PRINCIPLES
ARTICULATED.
IN THE DECISIONS THAT ASSEMBLY
MEMBER LIMON DESCRIBED WHICH
THAT PROVIDES ABATEMENT OF LEAD
PAINT FOR MILLIONS OF HOMES
WITHIN THE TEN CITIES AND
COUNTIES INVOLVED.
COUNTRIES WOULD OPPONENTS CLAIM
ARE THE PREDA PORTABLES THAT
WILL RESULT FROM OUR JUDGMENT IN
FUTURE CASES OF A SIMILAR NATURE
THE COURT OF APPEAL HAS STATED
THAT.
THIS JUDGMENT WILL ONLY BENEFIT
HOMEOWNERS.
AB TWENTY EIGHT OH THREE INSURES
THAT THE KEY PRINCIPLES IN
PUBLIC NUISANCE LA ESTABLISHED
BY THE CALIFORNIA COURTS IN THAT
CASE ARE NOT REVERSED BY A
FUTURE COURTS AND IT ALLOWS
PLAINTIFFS MORE EVEN EASILY
ESTABLISH THESE ELEMENTS IN
SIMILAR PUBLIC NUISANCE CASES IN
THE FUTURE.
THE ONLY AREA IN WHICH AB TWENTY
EIGHT OH THREE DEPARTS FROM
EXISTING CASE LIES WITH RESPECT
TO CONSTRUCTIVE KNOWLEDGE.
UNDER THE LAW ESTABLISHED BEAR
CASE A PARTY MAY BE LIABLE FOR
PUBLIC NUISANCE IF IT PROMOTED
LEAD PAINT FOR PARTICULAR USE
AND THAT PARTY HAD ACTUAL
KNOWLEDGE OF THE HEALTH OF THE
SUIT HAZARDS THAT WOULD RESULT
FROM SUCH USE.
AB TWENTY EIGHT OH THREE SIMPLY
GOES ONE SMALL STEP TOWARD BY
SAYING THAT A PARTY MAY BE
LIABLE IF IT SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
ABOUT THE HEALTH HAZARDS THAT
WOULD RESULT FROM SUCH USE.
THIS CONTRACT OF KNOWLEDGE
STANDARDS IS ENTIRELY CONSISTENT
WITH GENERAL TORT LAW AS WELL AS
NUISANCE LA.
AND CONSTRUCTIVE KNOWLEDGE
STANDARD IS PARTICULARLY
APPROPRIATE HERE.
BECAUSE LEAD HAS BEEN KNOWN TO
BE TOXIC SINCE BEFORE THE TURN
OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
FURTHERMORE AT THE COURT OF
APPEAL IN OUR CASE ALREADY HELD
THAT THE LATE PAID INDUSTRY HAD
ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE HARMS
THAT LEAD PAINT WOULD RESULT IN.
BUT ONE THAT WAS FROM THE EARLY
NINETEEN HUNDREDS ON BREAK ONCE
AGAIN I'M GOING TO CALL.
MY THE CAR THAT SINCE WE WE'VE
HEARD THIS AND JUDICIARY IN SO
SO WE TRY NOT TO TALK ABOUT THE
DUE PROCESS AND THE FED
JUDICIARY THEY'VE THEY'VE.
VOTED OUT MISSED SINISTER NEIER
THERE SO WATER.
WE'RE HERE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY.
ELEMENTS OF THAT IF YOU.
CONTINUE ON BUT THAT WAS ALL I
HAD TO SAY THAT IT WAS THAT IT'S
HARDLY A STRETCH TO GO A LITTLE
BIT FURTHER TO SEE THAT THEY
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WHEN WE
ALREADY HAVE A DECISION THAT
THEY DID KNOW.
THANK YOU ART OTHERS IN SUPPORT
OF AB TWENTY EIGHT OH THROUGHOUT.
PLEASE COME FORWARD.

TWENTY EIGHT OH THREE PORTANTINO
[inaudible] ONE OF TWENTY THREE
TWENTY GENTLEMEN GOOD AFTERNOON
NAY GOOD AFTERNOON.
LEFT.
JEAN URBAN REPRESENTING OUR
SHERMAN WILLIAMS AND CON AGRA --
VERY BRIEFLY FROM JUDICIARY
PERSPECTIVE WE DON'T THINK THIS
CODIFIES THE RULING IT GOES FAR
BEYOND THE RULING.
I MEAN WE CAN TALK ABOUT THOSE
PARTICULAR PROVISIONS --
IF YOU WISH BUT FROM A SET FROM
AN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
PERSPECTIVE --
OUR OBSERVATIONS ARE THESE --
THE RULING IS INCOMPLETE IT ONLY
PERTAINS TO TEN JURISDICTIONS.
IT LEAVES BADLY GARBLED THE
APPLICATION OF THE LAW TO HOUSES
BEFORE FIFTY ONE WHICH ARE
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING.
AND HOUSES BETWEEN FIFTY ONE AND
EIGHTY ONE WHICH IN SOME MANNER.
ARE PART OF THE PUBLIC NUISANCE
BUT NOT ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING
BECAUSE A WARNING WAS ATTACHED
TO THE SALE OF PRODUCTS.
HONOR ABOUT NINETEEN FIFTY OR
FIFTY ONE THE RULING PERTAINS
ONLY TO INTERIOR FRICTION
SURFACES SO.
THEY'RE WE BELIEVE THAT IT WILL
RESULT IN INCOMPLETE --
AND PARTIAL.
ABATEMENT AND WE ALSO NOTE THAT
THE RULING IS NOT FINAL IT HAS
BEEN SENT BACK [inaudible]
TO SUPERIOR COURT. TWO
PARTICULAR ISSUES ONE IS THE
TOTAL DAMAGES AND THERE IS A
DEBATE NOW SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
FOUR HUNDRED AND SEVEN HUNDRED
MILLION.
SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN THE ONE
POINT.
ONE FIVE SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT
PERHAPS AS LITTLE AS FOUR
HUNDRED MILLION TO ADDRESS THE
HOMES. TEN JURISDICTIONS --
THAT NOW IS THE PRODUCT OF TECH
BUILT GOOD FAITH MOTIONS BECAUSE
ONE OF THE PARTIES IS TRYING TO
SETTLE. FOR AN AMOUNT
SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN THEY
WOULD OTHERWISE BE LIABLE.
SO AS I SAID IN JUDICIARY THE
THE THE THE JUDGMENT IS NOT
FINAL AND IT IS [inaudible]
DISSOLVING.
WE CAN ARGUE ABOUT HOW RAPIDLY
AND HOW MUCH BUT IT IS
DISSOLVING.
IT IS AN INCOMPLETE RESPONSE TO
A VERY COMPLEX PROBLEM.
AND AS I ALSO INDICATED ALL THE
MONEY HAS TO BE SPENT FOUR YEARS
SORTS RETURNED TO THE
DEFENDANT'S.
THERE'S NO WAY NO WAY.
THAT THOSE TEN JURISDICTIONS
CONSPICUOUSLY WELL GOOD FOR
YEARS THE LEADER BE A LAND RUSH
IT'LL BE SPENT EXPENSIVELY ON A
FEW HOMES OR IT'LL BE.
WASTED ON MANY IT DOESN'T IT
CAN'T BE DONE WELL IN FOUR YEARS
AND AS I ALSO INDICATED
PREVIOUSLY ONE OF THE ISSUES
REMANDED MISTER CHAIRMAN IS.
WHO'S GONNA ADMINISTER THIS THE
STATE HAS ALREADY DECLINED
THEY'VE INDICATED THE DO THEY DO
THAT THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN
ADMINISTERING THE PROGRAM.
WE HAVE PROPOSED MORE
COMPREHENSIVE.
ALBEIT EXPENSIVE SOLUTION
BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE
THAT SO.
ON THAT BASIS WE ARE OPPOSED TO
THE BILL [inaudible]
BUT THE BILL BE FORCE IN PRINT
[inaudible]
CODIFIES PORTION OF THAT APPEALS.
AND MAKES IT HERE'S THIS PORT
[inaudible]
SIMILAR PUBLIC.
I I WOULD ARGUE THAT IT IT MAY --
THEY MAY ALSO BE LEGALLY FLAWED
BECAUSE IT OBLITERATES CAUSATION
I'M I TRIED TO AVOID THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE IT ALSO
LEADS LEADS LEAVES EXPOSED MANY
OTHER PEOPLE INCLUDING THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA.
WHICH ACTIVELY PROMOTED IN SOME
ENGINES REQUIRE THE USE OF LEAD
BASED PAINT.
IT DOESN'T LIMIT IT TO THOSE WHO
MANUFACTURED OR SOLD THE PRODUCT.
AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ALSO KNOWN.
SHOULD HAVE KNOWN [inaudible]
IN ESSEX WITNESS IN OPPOSITION
IS ADAMANTLY ON BEHALF OF THE
COMPANY.
MY COMMENTS ECHO --
MY COLLEAGUES HERE I WAS BEING
HERE JUST IS ANY ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS --
ON CHAMBERS WRAPPED IT'S WITHOUT
THINK.
OTHER SUPPOSED TO A. B. TWENTY
EIGHT A THREE S. COMPORT.
MISTER CARROLL AREN'T ABLE
ANSWER REPRESENT ANY AMERICAN
COATINGS ASSOCIATION ON THE
CALIFORNIA PINK COUNCIL POST.
DRILL COOK FOR THE CALIFORNIA
MANUFACTURES AND TECHNOLOGY
ASSOCIATION WHERE POST
[inaudible]
OKAY LET'S.
CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING BRING IT
BACK TO THE DAIS QUESTIONS
MEMBERS OF THE AUTHOR.
CENTER STONE YEAH I WAS JUST
CURIOUS MISTER IRVING COULD USE
EXPAND ON LE.
THE LIABILITY OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IF THIS BILL WERE TO
BECOME A LAW.
THE BUT THE BIT OF THE BILL
[inaudible]
SIMPLY IMPOSES LIABILITY AND
ANYONE WHO --
HAS BEEN FOUND INTERFERE WITH
THE PUBLIC RIGHT DOESN'T TALK
ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER THE
APPLICATION OF THE PAINT.
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA MANY
OTHER PUBLIC JURISDICTIONS.
BOTH REQUIRED AND OR PROMOTED
THE USE OF LEAD PAINT ON VARIOUS
STRUCTURES INCLUDING RESIDENTIAL
STRUCTURES.
UP UNTIL AND I APOLOGIZE
[inaudible]
THE FIFTIES.
I'M NOT ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN I CAN
FIND OUT.
I'M WE BELIEVE THAT THEY WOULD
BE LIABLE CONTRACTORS COULD BE
LIABLE.
PEOPLE WHO PACKED THERE'S MANY
PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE LIABLE UNDER
THIS BILL IT'S ADVERTISED AS AND
TARGETING THE MANUFACTURERS.
IT'S NOT THE CASE.
ISN'T THE CASE.
MAYBE I COULD FOLLOW UP MISTER
CHAIR TO THE OFFICE.
HE IS YOUR BILL LE.
I TARGETED.
TO PAINT MANUFACTURERS OR ANYONE
THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THE
CONVEYANCE OF OF PAINT AND
PROMOTING PAID INCLUDING.
MANDATES BY LOCAL LAWS ARE STATE
LAWS.
AYE I AM GONNA HAVE ACTUALLY AND
OUR COUNCIL FROM SOCCER ANSWER
BUT I DO WANT TO SAY THAT THE
BILL HAS GONE THROUGH DISH IT'S
GONE THROUGH LEDGE COUNCIL AS
WELL AND THAT WAS NOT AND HAS
NOT BEEN NOTED AND AS A CONCERN.
AND SO I'LL JUST POINT HE USED
TO AND I HAD SECTION E. ELVIS
AND BEFORE NINETY SEVEN OF THE
CIVIL CODE AND AND THE BILL SAYS
THAT A PARTY MAY BE SUBJECT TO
LIABILITY FOR PUBLIC NUISANCE IF
IT PROMOTED LEAD BASED PAINT FOR
PARTICULARLY.
PARTICULAR USE WITH ACTUAL OR
CONSTRUCTIVE KNOWLEDGE SO ABSENT
ANY PROMOTION BY THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. FOR IT THE USE OF
LEAD PAINT WITH EITHER ACTUAL OR
CONSTRUCTIVE KNOWLEDGE I DON'T
SEE HOW THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A
PUBLIC NUISANCE.
ON A LARGE SCALE LA AND PUBLIC
NUISANCE REQUIRES SUBSTANTIAL
AND UNREASONABLE EN --
BEHAVIOR AND SO.
I DON'T SEE HAVE THOUGH AND THE
STATE SUDDENLY BECOMES
RESPONSIBLE FOR A PUBLIC
NUISANCE AS A RESULT OF AB.
TWENTY TO THREE SO ARE WE SAYING
THAT -- AT
NO TIME IN THE STATE'S HISTORY
TO DO WE EVER MANDATE --
LEAD BASED PAINTS BUT BE A PART
OF A BUILDING CODE CERTAINLY THE
STATE MAY HAVE I DON'T KNOW AND
WHETHER IT HAS OR HAS NOT A
THINK THERE AND THERE'S STILL SO
THE ARGUMENT THAT HOMEOWNERS.
A KNOWINGLY DECIDED TO PUT LEAD
PAINT ON THEIR PROPERTIES THAT
DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEY AND HAD
KNOWLEDGE OF THE HAZARDS THAT
WOULD RESULT FROM IT OR THAT
THEY PROMOTED IT ON A WIDESPREAD
BASIS THAT WOULD RESULT IN LEAD
PAINT BEING --
ON SO MANY PROPERTIES THROUGHOUT
THE STATE THAT WOULD CONSTITUTE
PUBLIC NUISANCE.
I KNOW THIS IS NOT A GOING TO
MUCH FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL
ISSUES IS MORE A LEGAL ISSUE BUT
I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT --
IT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME THAT IF IN
FACT IT WAS A PART OF A THE
BUILDING CODE WHETHER IT'S AT
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR THE
LOCAL LEVEL THERE'S GONNA BE
CULPABILITY --
BY THOSE SKILLED GOVERNMENTS OF
PROMOTED THEM AND BACK IN THE
FIFTIES WE NEED PRODDED NO AS
MUCH ABOUT --
LEAD POISONING AS WE DO
CERTAINLY TODAY.
AND IT WAS IT WAS THE STANDARD
PRACTICE TO USE LEAD BASED
PAINTS AND US I I CAN JUST TRY
AND EXPLAIN TO YOU WITHIN THE
CONTEXT OF OUR LAWSUIT THAT THE
PROMOTION OF LEAD PAINT WAS VERY
DIFFERENT FROM THE ACTUAL USER
SPECIFICATION OF LEAD BASED
PAINT.
SO THE PROMOTION THAT THE DEBATE
THAT THE LICKING MANUFACTURERS
IN OUR CASE WERE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE FOR WAS FOR
WIDESPREAD ADVERTISING AND
PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGNS THAT TOOK
PLACE.
M. NOT JUST ACROSS THE NATION
BUT IN CALIFORNIA SPECIFICALLY
WHERE THEY TOLD HOMEOWNERS TO
APPLY THIS PRODUCT IN THEIR
HOMES IN A MANNER THAT THEY KNEW
WAS GOING TO CREATE A HEALTH
HAZARD IN THOSE WERE CAMPAIGNS.
THAT WERE UP AND DOWN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA AND WITHIN THOSE
TEN CITIES AND COUNTIES
SPECIFICALLY AND WHERE THEY
COUNTED THE SUCCESS OF THOSE M.
WIDE SCALE MARKETING CAMPAIGN SO
THE MEDIA OPPOSITION TO THE FOR
THE COMMITTEE ASKING YOU FOR AN
AMENDMENT SAYING THAT YOU'RE
GOING TO BE --
INDEMNIFY --
ALL OF A IT THINK IN TERMS OF
AMENDMENTS THERE'S NOT YET SO IN
TERMS OF AMENDMENTS I'M.
YOU KNOW WE WELL A DID THE
ANALYSIS DOESN'T HAVE --
ACTUAL RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS AT
THIS MOMENT AND SO.
WE WILL YOU KNOW AS THIS BILL
MOVES FOR WE WILL CONSIDER WHAT
NEEDS TO BE DONE AND IF THURMOND
MISSING BE TAKEN [inaudible]
CORRECT [inaudible]
CORRECT.
YES NO AMENDMENTS AND WERE ON
THE BILL AND IT PROVIDES THAT
[inaudible]
THE CAUSATION ELEMENTS THAT WERE
ESTABLISHED COULD NOT HAVE TO
PUT IT IN THE LAWSUIT.
EITHER WELL DOWN THERE OR NOT
ARE BEING.
PUT INTO THE THIS THIS BILL WILL
NOT HAVE TO BE PROVED PROVEN
THAT'S BRAD CENTER STERN THANK
YOU.
MISTER CHAIR.
THING ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD --
PARTY VOTED FOR HIS BILL AND
MARTY SUPPORTIVE SO.
A RELATED QUESTION FOR YOU BUT I
DO HAVE A COMMENT WHICH IS THAT
THE THE DO I CALL PROMOTION OR
MARKETING.
AROUND THIS BILL.
FROM THE OPPOSITION.
IN DRUMMING UP MY CONSTITUENTS
AND YOUR CONSTITUENTS.
STOKE FEARS OUT IN THE COMMUNITY
THAT SOMEHOW EVERY SINGLE HOME
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS
GOING TO BE DECLARED A NEW SENSE
[inaudible]
IS FALSE MISLEADING AND IT
REALLY IS NOT GOING TO PLAY WELL
HERE.
SO YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF
DETAILS TO BE WORKED OUT ABOUT
HOW THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ALL
THIS REMEDIATION IS GOING TO
TAKE PLACE.
I MEAN IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
AND WE DON'T HAVE ALL THOSE
MECHANICS SORTED OUT.
IN IN THE CASE OF ONE JUDGMENT I
THINK THERE IS THERE IS A
PATHWAY ALTHOUGH I KNOW THAT'S
STILL BEING RESOLVED --
AND THERE ARE SOME.
ADMINISTRATIVELY COMPLICATED
DECISIONS AFTER YOU MAY NORMS OF
HOW.
WHAT TO PRIORITIZE AND WHERE TO
GO FIRST AND WHAT HEALTH
STANDARDS TO USE [inaudible]
BUT THIS SORT OF THE FERVOR
BEING GENERATED OUT IN THE
PUBLIC AND THIS SORT OF
MISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN IS
DEEPLY TROUBLING AND CYNICAL IN
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE LIKE
THAT OUT THERE WHO ACTUALLY HAVE
THEIR KIDS HEALTH THEIR RISK IS
VERY DISTURBING SO.
IT IS NOT --
IT'S NOT CHANGED MY OPINION ONE
IOTA THE MEASURE AND I'M I'M
GLAD YOU CONTINUE TO MOVE THIS
FORWARD AND I I I DON'T SEE ANY
IMPEDIMENT TO THIS FRANKLY.
GETTING TO THE GOVERNOR'S DESK
AT THIS POINT TO BECOMING LAW
WITH WITH THE KIND OF COALITION
WE HAVE BUILT HERE AND I
APPRECIATE THE THE COMMITTEE'S
ANALYSIS SO I'LL MOVE THAT THE
BILL AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME.
THERE'S SOME OF THIS IS THE TIME
THERE IS A MOTION TO MOVE THE
BILL SENATE AMONG MAY CLOSE.
THANK YOU I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
AN AYE VOTE [inaudible]
IT'S KALRA.
ITEM NUMBER FORTY SIX AB TWENTY
EIGHT OF THREE BY ASSEMBLY
MEMBER LIMON.
THE MOTION IS DUE PASSED THE
SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE.
LIKE ASKING AYE KATHY AYE STONE
DON'T.
NO NO GAMES HILL.
LARA SKINNER STERN AYE STERN AYE
ALRIGHT WE'LL KEEP THAT MATTER
OPEN THIRD ABSENT MEMBERS
ASSEMBLY MEMBERS GARCIA GOOD
AFTERNOON YOU HAVE FIRST UP THIS
ITEM NUMBER. TWELVE ACT A. B..
NINETEEN FORTY FIVE IS THAT FAIR.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
SENATORS.
HERE PRESENT AB NINETEEN FORTY
FIVE A BILL.
TO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO THE
APPLICATION PROCESS FOR THE
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION FUN.
WHERE THANK COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
THE WORK ON THIS BILL?
I AM HAPPY TO ACCEPT THE SECOND
AND THIRD AMENDMENTS --
THAT HELP US CLARIFY OUR
INTENTIONS THAT WOULD.
RESPECTFULLY ASK GOD
RECONSIDERATION FROM YOU MISTER
CHAIR IN THIS COMMITTEE ON THE
FIRST AMENDMENT.
A I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS THAT
AMENDMENT THAT WOULD STRIKE THE
LANGUAGE REGARDING DAYTIME
POPULATION IN SAN DIEGO AND
IMPERIAL COUNTIES FROM THE BILL.
IN MY DISTRICT THAT LIKE MANY OF
YOURS OUR TEAM HAS SPENT A LOT
OF TIME TALKING WITH
STAKEHOLDERS ABOUT HOW TO ACCESS
RESOURCES FROM THE GREENHOUSE
GAS REDUCTION FUND WHEN MEETING.
ALL OF ITS REQUIREMENTS AND
GOALS.
MANY OF YOU --
WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF TIME MAKING
SURE THAT THESE RESOURCES
ULTIMATELY MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE
DISTRICT.
WHILE WE ALL SAY THAT ARE
DISTRICTS HAVE A UNIQUE
CIRCUMSTANCE.
IT IN MY CASE THAT REALLY IS THE
CASE.
SAN DIEGO AND IMPERIAL COUNTIES
ARE THE ONLY COUNTIES IN OUR
STATE WITH AN INTERNATIONAL
BORDER THAT'S HE'S AN AVERAGE OF
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND INDIVIDUALS.
CROSS NORTH INTO OUR COMMUNITIES
EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I AM WELL AWARE THAT OTHER
REGIONS HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY --
AT WAR ARE IMPACTED BY DAILY
COMMUTING PATTERNS THAT THOSE
REGIONS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
SUCCESSFULLY COLLABORATE AMONGST
INTER AGENCIES AND OTHER
COMMUNITIES AT TO BE ABLE TO
SUCCESSFULLY [inaudible]
ATTAIN I OR OBTAIN SOME OF THESE
DJ OFF FUNDS AND NOT GIVE YOU A
COUPLE EXAMPLES. TWO THOUSAND
SIXTEEN BART WAS AWARDED TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE TRANSIT
AND INTERCITY RAIL CAPITAL
PROGRAM TO EXPAND SERVICE. TO
SAN JOSE.
EARLIER THIS YEAR ALLEY MITCHELL
WAS AWARDED OVER THREE HUNDRED
THIRTY MILLION TO EXPAND SERVICE
ALONG CONGESTED ROADWAYS OVER
THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.
AND CAPITOL CORRIDOR WHICH
CONNECTS THE SACRAMENTO REGION
TO THE BAY AREA WAS AWARDED OVER
EIGHTY MILLION TO EXPAND THEIR
TRANSIT AND RAIL SERVICES.
I LIKE LOS ANGELES OR THE BAY
AREA WE CANNOT PARTNER WITH OUR
FRIENDS AND MAKE EQUAL. TO
CREATE GPAS OR TRANSIT AGENCIES
THAT CAN APPLY FOR THE STATE AND
FEDERAL GRANTS TO SURF FOLKS
CROSSING INTO THE STATE BECAUSE
MEXICO IS AN ELIGIBLE FOR THE
FUNDING.
GENERALLY IN THE LEGISLATURE WE
AVOID MAKING SPECIAL RULES FOR
CERTAIN COMMUNITIES ANOTHER
UNLESS THERE'S A UNIQUE
CIRCUMSTANCE.
THAT WARRANT.
IN THE CASE OF IMPERIAL AND SAN
DIEGO COUNTIES.
I CONTESTED THERE IS A UNIQUE
SITUATION THAT IS NOT OPERABLE
TO OTHER REGIONS THE STATE.
THAT WARRANTS A UNIQUE APPROACH
AS OUTLINED IN THIS BILL.
THE SMALL CHANGE THAT WILL MAKE
A BIG DIFFERENCE FOR COMMUNITIES
IN MY DISTRICT.
AND IN THE SAN DIEGO AREA ARE
ONLY ASKING FOR A FAIR SHOT.
THAT THEY ATTEMPT TO COMPETE FOR
THESE RESOURCES.
I IDEA I ASKED AT THE OF MAP BE
PASSED AROUND.
OF CHO WOULD.
SURE HERE THAT DEMONSTRATES THAT
THE REGIONS THAT HAVE BEEN
SUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING THE GRF
FUNDS AND IT CLEARLY OUTLINES.
THAT THE SAN DIEGO IMPAIR COUNTY
BORDER AREAS THAT HAVE NOT DONE
SO WELL --
WE BELIEVE THAT THIS MINOR
CHANGE COULD HELP US BE MORE
COMPETITIVE.
AND AT THE SAME TIME HELP MEET
OUR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ARE
THAT THIS PROGRAM IS A FORWARD.
AND WITH ME IS A REBEKAH AT
THEIR HOUSES BAXTER WITH THE GUY
IN COUNTY OF IMPERIAL.
GOOD AFTERNOON COMMITTEE MEMBERS
ONCE AGAIN MY NAME IS REBECCA
THEIR* BAXTER.
I AND AND I AM THE
INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS
DIRECTOR FOR THE COUNTY OF
IMPERIAL.
ON BEHALF OF THE IMPERIAL COUNTY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND
IMPERIAL COUNTY AIR POLLUTION
CONTROL DISTRICT I'M HERE TO
EXPRESS OUR STRONG SUPPORT OF AB.
NINETEEN FORTY FIVE THIS BILL
CORRECTS AN INEQUITY AND SEEKS
TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO PROGRAMS
FUNDED BY THE GT R. F. BY
EXPANDING THE LIST OF COAL
BENEFITS AND ALLOWS THE COUNTIES
OF IMPERIAL AND SAN DIEGO. TO
INCLUDE OUR DAYTIME POPULATION
NUMBERS AND THE GT R. F. GRANT
APPLICATIONS.
IMPERIAL COUNTY INCLUDE SEVERAL
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES AND IS
ONE OF THE POOREST IN THE STATE
pUNEMPLOYMENT RATE.
UNHEALTHY AIR POLLUTION AND MORE
THAN DOUBLE THE STATE'S RATE OF
ASTHMA RELATED EMERGENCY ROOM
VISITS AND HOSPITALIZATIONS FOR
CHILDREN.
AS A MATTER OF FACT MOST OF THE
COUNTY HAS A CALAVERAS SCREEN.
PERCENTILE OF 70% OR HIGHER
HOWEVER WE HAVE RECEIVED VERY
LITTLE GIGI R. F. FUNDING OVER
THE YEARS.
BECAUSE THE METHODOLOGY USED TO
APPROPRIATE FUNDING ANY VALUE AT
THE GRANT APPLICATIONS FAVORS
COMMUNITIES ARE DENSELY
POPULATED.
A UNIQUE FEATURE OF IMPERIAL
COUNTY THAT ALSO POSES A
CHALLENGE FOR US IN ADDRESSING
OUR AIR QUALITY IS OUR LOCATION.
AS WE OUR ONE OF CALIFORNIA'S
INTERNATIONAL GATEWAYS TO
MEDICAL.
AND THE ONLY KERN COUNTY TO
BORDER ANOTHER STATE AND ANOTHER
COUNTRY.
ALTHOUGH SOME MAY ARGUE THAT
THIS DAYTIME POPULATION IS NOT A
UNIQUE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE WE
WOULD DISAGREE WITH THAT OPINION.
THE DAYTIME POPULATION THAT WE
ARE REQUESTING AB NINETEEN FORTY
FIVE IS FROM A FOREIGN COUNTRY.
THE ARE NOT COMMUTERS FROM
ANOTHER NEIGHBORING U. S. CITY
OR COUNTY.
THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT
COUNTED IN THE U. S. CENSUS.
BECAUSE THEY ARE DO NOT LIVE IN
THE U. S. THEREFORE THERE IS NO
OTHER WAY TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS
POPULATION WHEN ADDRESSING THE
REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS.
OUR RURAL SPARSELY POPULATED
COMMUNITY SHARES A BORDER AND
AIR BASIN WITH A DENSELY
POPULATED CAPITAL OF THE
HUCKABEE FOR YOUR THE CITY OF ME
KILEY.
WHO'S POPULATION IS AT LEAST
SEVEN TIMES THAT OF OURS.
OUR NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE BORDER
FOR VARIOUS REASONS AND WE AND
SEND YOU A COUNTY.
ARE FACED WITH THE CHALLENGE OF
SERVING AND SUPPORTING SUCH A
LARGE INFLUX IN POPULATION ON A
DAILY BASIS.
ALL OTHER AREAS IN THE STATE
INCLUDING PLACES SUCH AS SAN
FRANCISCO WHO EXPERIENCE A LARGE
IN STATE COMMUTER POPULATION.
ARE HAVING GREENHOUSE GAS ISSUES
ADDRESSED.
IMPERIAL NEEDS YOUR HELP. TO
MAKE ACCESSING THESE FUNDS.
IN ORDER TO ADDRESS GREENHOUSE
GAS EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS MORE
EQUITABLE AND VIABLE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
OF THIS BILL.
AND WE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
AYE VOTE.
SO HELP ME OUT WITH SOME NUMBERS.
WE'VE CREATED THE PICTURE THAT
IMPERIAL IS GETTING DALY WHICH
BY.
ARIZONANS AND MEXICAN.
WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS SAY BECAUSE?
THAT STAFF ANALYSIS IN THE
INFORMATION THAT I'VE RECEIVED
SAY THEY'RE NO THEIR DAYTIME
POPULATION CHANGES NO MORE THAN
IT DOES IN OTHER PARTS THAT ARE
NOT DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES OR
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES THERE.
THIRDS IT'S YOU KNOW ALL OVER
THE STATE THERE ARE SOME AREAS
WHERE PEOPLE GO TO AND SOME
IRISH PEOPLE LEAVE.
SO WHAT'S THE WHAT IT WHAT ARE
THE NUMBERS.
I AYE ME I MAINTENANCE A TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND INDIVIDUALS
CROSS THE BORDER --
IT'S ESTIMATED ON A DAILY BASIS
AT LEAST THE BORDER.
IN THE IMPERIAL MICKEY KILEY
REGION. TWO HUNDRED OUT.
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND THE THE THE
CASE WE'RE MAKING IS THAT THAT
WE ARE UNABLE TO ESTABLISH.
I DON'T POWER AUTHORITY OR SOME
TYPE OF INTER AGENCY
COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO BE
ABLE -- TO
GO AFTER SOME OF THESE FUNDS TO
ADDRESSING THE EMISSION
REDUCTION [inaudible]
EFFORTS.
UNLIKE OTHER CITIES THAT I
POINTED OUT THEY HAVE THE
ABILITY TO DO SO I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT THOUGH.
THAT WE NOT OVERLOOK A THE
ADVANTAGE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT
EXIST IN A BILL COUNTY ARE IN
ORDER TO PUT THIS INTO CONTEXT
OR IN PERSPECTIVE.
OF WHAT THE CHALLENGES UP WHICH
IS WHY MY AYE PROVIDED THE MAP
RIGHT THAT DEMONSTRATES THAT TO
YOU ALL.
OF WHERE THE BULK OF THE FUNDS
HAVE GONE CONSIDERING THE
PROGRAM AS IT STANDS TODAY.
AND SO THE UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES
GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION OF CALLS FOR
WHAT WE BELIEVE A UNIQUE
[inaudible]
I AND APPROACH TO TRYING TO
ADDRESS AT THE ISSUE OF A FAIR
SHOT. TO OBTAINING THESE --
RESOURCES.
CALL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING TO
OTHERS WHO ARE IN SUPPORT OF AB.
NINETEEN FORTY FIVE POSITION TO
A. B..
NINETEEN FORTY FIVE CLOSE THAT
I'M [inaudible]
I'M SYMPATHETIC THE PRESENTATION
AND THE CALL THAT YOU HAVE.
THERE'S TO IT AS I SEE IT
THERE'S THIS THIS LOOKS TO HAVE
A MECHANICAL CHANGE AND HOW WE
SLICE UP.
THE CAP AND TRADE FUNDS WE ALSO
HAVE.
A DISCUSSION IN THE IN THE
BUDGET COMMITTEE ON HOW THAT'S
AND HOW THAT SLICED UP SO WE
HAVE WE MAKE WE MAKE WHERE
FORMULA ADDICT.
NUMBERS BUT THAT GO IN AND AND
WE ALSO HAVE.
POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS THAT
BECCA WENT THAT CAN CAN.
REYES AN ADJUSTMENT I'M.
I'M COMFORTABLE RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE I EXPRESSED OF OF
CHANGING THE FORMULA
[inaudible] FOR THE MIGRATION.
AND I ACCEPT THIS TRUTHFUL WHAT
YOU'VE SAID THIS IS AS THE
IMPACT IT HAS ON ON IMPERIAL
VALLEY I JUST DON'T HAVE THE
FULL MAP OF CALIFORNIA TO KNOW
WHERE THE OTHER IMPACTED
COMMUNITIES IN IF WE SHOULD BE
CHANGING.
THE THE FORMER LIFE ND HOW WE
PASS OUT GREENHOUSE GASES FOR
EVERYBODY WHO.
ADDS AS PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY
AND NOT ADD TO ME ADS THAT'S THE
CRUX OF MY MY CONCERN DOESN'T
MEAN THAT.
IT IT'S NOT A GOOD IT ISSUE IT
SHOULDN'T BE ADDRESSED IN THE
BUDGETARY DISCUSSIONS WHICH I
HAPPEN TO SIT ON LEASE ON THE
SENATE SIDE.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT I'VE
EVER.
DEALT WITH THE SUGGESTION THAT
WE ADJUSTED BASED ON UGH.
AT THE FORMULAS BASED ON A
DIFFERENT CRITERIA TOOK SO IF I
MAY.
YET YOU YOU RAISE TWO POINTS
ABOUT WORK CURRENTLY DISCUSSING
IN THE BUDGET HOW MUCH GOES. TO
THE PROGRAM TO ADDRESS THE
EMISSION REDUCTIONS.
AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHERE IT
GOES.
AND WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS
CURRENTLY THE WAY THE SYSTEM IS
SET UP.
AT IT WILL LIKELY NEVER --
IF YOU LOOK AT THIS MAP AGAIN
WILL NOT END UP.
IN THE BORDER REGIONS BECAUSE OF
THE LACK OF DENSITY AT LEAST IN
IMPERIAL COUNTY.
A TO BE ABLE TO MEET.
THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES RIGHT
AND SO YOU MADE A SUGGESTION --
THAT IN OUR CONVERSATIONS ARE IN
OUR MEETINGS ABOUT APPLYING THE
TIME POPULATIONS.
EVERYWHERE RIGHT WELL IT
WOULDN'T CHANGE THE CIRCUMSTANCE
RIGHT WE WE STILL START FROM
BEHIND.
WHEN IT COMES TO MAKE AN
ARGUMENT ABOUT WHERE INVESTMENTS --
WOULD END UP BASED ON WHERE THE
NEED IS RIGHT SO APPLYING
DAYTIME POPULATIONS ACROSS THE
STATE AS YOU SUGGESTED.
IS SOMEWHAT ALREADY A INELIGIBLE
A PPROACH --
HIGHLIGHTING SEVERAL PROJECTS --
DE PART OF A PROGRAM THAT
TRANSIT THE INTERCITY RAIL
CAPITAL PROGRAM WITH SAN JOSE
THAT RECEIVE TWENTY MILLION TO
DOWN.
SIXTEEN THE LA METRO A PROJECT
THAT RECEIVED THREE HUNDRED AND
THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS TO EXPAND
SERVICE ALONG CONGESTED ROADWAYS --
AND SO AND THE CAPITOL CORRIDOR
SACRAMENTO TO THE BAY AREA MC
DETERMINE DOLLARS DE DAYTIME
POPULATION.
OF CRITERIA CAN BE USED ALREADY
RIGHT FOR AREAS UP AND DOWN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
DE AT THE TIME POPULATION ON THE
BORDER IN THIS CASE IN A GROUP
COUNTY [inaudible]
IS OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH AS
MICKEY KILEY ONE POINT TWO
MILLION PEOPLE OF THOSE ANYWHERE
BETWEEN.
HER NAVY TO TO OUR THOUSAND
PEOPLE ACROSS ON A DAILY BASIS
FOR THEIR BUSINESS TO SHOP SPEND
WHAT HAVE YOU.
AND SO BUT THAT'S WHY YOU KNOW I
WOULD ASK --
FOR YOU'RE RECONSIDERATION A TO
THE FIRST AMENDMENT THAT YOU
HAVE PUT FORWARD THAT REALLY
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE IS.
A MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO EVEN THE
PLAYING FIELD A LITTLE BIT.
IN ORDER FOR US TO BE ABLE.
TO HELP ME CALIFORNIA'S EMISSION
REDUCTION GOALS VIA THE FUNDS
THAT ARE --
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHICH
IS A GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION
YOU MAKE COMPASSIONATE --
ARGUMENT FOR YOUR DISTRICT AYE.
AYE ENVYING SOME INTO --
ANOTHER COMMITTEE.
BECAUSE I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME
BILLS OF MY OWN I'M.
I'M GONNA STAY OFF THE THE BILL
BEEN FED BASED ON YOUR
SUGGESTIONS AND LET MY
COLLEAGUES FELT --
WHICHEVER WAY THEY WANT TO I
WON'T BE SUPPORTING IT WITHOUT
THE AMENDMENTS BUT THAT'S IT.
IF THERE'S A THE CENTER STERN I
SAID I HAVE A QUESTION AND I GO
AROUND TOO SO I DON'T I DON'T
LEAVE YOU HANGING [inaudible]
BUT I'M JUST TAKING IT A LITTLE
BIT TO THE THE LA NUMBERS.
LA IS A BIG PLACE --
SO I HAVE MY OWN.
CRITIQUES OF HOW WE DO THE MATH --
DISTRICT SEVEN OF CALTRANS WHICH
IS ANOTHER WAY TO THINK ABOUT --
HOW WE CUT UP THE STATE --
IS BASE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF THE
SAN FERNANDO VALLEY AND THAT
NORTH LA COUNTY THE MOST BE
ENTITIES IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WE'VE GOT --
ZERO DOLLARS THAT IF ANY OF THE
T..
T. C. C. A. S. G. C. HOUSING
BASICALLY THEY'RE SAYING WE'RE
INELIGIBLE AND WE DON'T HAVE
THOSE MAPS --
THE AIR POLLUTION'S REALLY BAD.
BUT WE ALSO DON'T HAVE THE
DENSITY --
NOT THE SAME KIND OF ABJECT.
ROLL POVERTY THAT YOU'RE
COMMUNITY FACES BY ANY MEANS I
DON'T MEAN.
TO SORT OF DRAW THAT TO STRICT
OF ANALOGY BUT I I AM SEARCHING.
FOR IF WE'RE GOING.
TO RECTIFY THE FORMULAR HOW WE
DO THE COUNT RIGHT LIKE.
HOW TO MAKE IT WORK FOR ALL
THOSE INEQUITIES I KNOW YOU'RE
SOLVING ONE ISSUE BUT I'M I'M
STRUGGLING WITH IT BECAUSE IF WE
SOLVE THIS ONE THEN?
YOU KNOW WHAT OF THE OTHER
PIECES THAT WE'VE GOT A SOLVE AS
WELL.
SO FOR INSTANCE ON ALL THAT A
CHEST C. AND T. C. C. AND ASK
YOU SEE MONEY LIKE I THINK YOU
SHOULD BE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT
VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED BECAUSE
THAT ACTUALLY IS A REALLY GOOD
INDICATOR OF HOW YOU ONE EIGHT
REDUCE POLLUTION AND CONGESTION.
THAT'S SAYING YOUR VEHICLES THE
RIGHT PLACE TO DO THAT BUT I
JUST WANTED.
TO FEEL YOU OUT ON YOUR OPEN
THIS ON OTHER CHANGES IN THE
PROGRAM I MEAN.
IF SOMETHING ELSE MOVES OR
SOMETHING ELSE EMERGING BUDGET
CONVERSATIONS ARE YOU OPEN --
I KNOW YOU TRYING TO SOLVE ONE
THING HERE I JUST.
THAT LA NUMBER [inaudible]
YEAH.
IT'S THERE'S THERE'S PROBABLY A
REASON FOR IT AND PROBABLY NOT
JUST BASED ON POPULATION AND THE
PARTS OF LA THAT ARE BENEFITING
UP PROBABLY NOTCHES BASED SOLELY
ON MATH AND I DON'T KNOW I GUESS
I JUST.
FIGURED IT'S WORTH RAISING THAT
ISSUE SO I'LL SAY THAT THAT YOU
KNOW I I HIGHLIGHT THOSE
PROJECTS AND THOSE --
NUMBERS THOSE INVESTMENTS TAKE I
MEAN A PICTURE THAT THERE ARE
REGION'S RIGHT THERE ARE ABLE TO
DO THE INNER AGENCY
COLLABORATIVE.
APPROACH TO SEEKING THESE FUNDS.
OUR GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION DOESN'T
ALLOW US TO DO THAT.
IN THE QUESTION OF WHETHER
KNOCKED OUT WE'RE WILLING --
TO FIX OTHER PROBLEMS ALONG THE
WAY THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THE
ISSUE WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS
HERE.
ABSOLUTELY --
ABSOLUTELY WE'VE GOT SOME TIME --
WE'VE GOT ANOTHER COMMITTEE I
BELIEVE THAT THAT WE WILL BE
BEFORE AND GOT MORE THAN WILLING
TO ADDRESS THE INEQUITY ISSUES
RELATED TO THE GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTION FUND --
SO THE ANSWER IS YES
[inaudible]
OKAY --
WE'RE GOING --
TO PEOPLE WHO FOR TEMPORARILY
AND TOLD THE CHAIR COMES BACK

TWENTY THREE SEVENTY REQUIRES
DEPARTMENT.
OF SOCIAL SERVICES IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE STATE WATER
RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD. TO
ADOPT REQUIREMENTS TO ENSURE
THAT CHILD CARE CENTERS DRINKING
WATER IS LET FREE.
DRINKING WATER AT MOST CHILDCARE
CENTERS IS NOT TESTED FOR LEAD.
THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE MANY
WATER PIPES FAUCETS AND FIXTURES
STILL IN USE CONTAIN LEAD.
AND OVER TIME THE SLICK CAN
LEACH INTO THE DRINKING WATER
THERE WE KNOW YOUNG CHILDREN ARE
THE MOST HARMED BY LEAD BECAUSE
THEY ABSORB MUCH OF THE LEAD
THEY DIGEST.
ACCORDING TO AMERICAN ACADEMY OF
PEDIATRICS IN THE CENTERS FOR
DISEASE CONTROL THERE IS NO SAFE
LEVEL OF LEAD IN CHILDREN.
LET IS A SEVERE NEUROTOXIN EVEN
MINUTE AMOUNTS OF LEAD IN THE
BODIES OF VERY YOUNG CHILDREN
CAUSE HARM TO THEIR CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEMS.
AND THIS HARM APPEARS TO BE
IRREVERSIBLE.
AB TWENTY THREE SEVENTY WILL
KEEP YOUNG THE YOUNGEST OUR
YOUNGEST CHILDREN SAVED BY
ENSURING.
THEY ARE NOT INGESTING LEAD
THROUGH THE WATER THEY DRINK.
THIS BIPARTISAN THIS BILL HAS
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE FIRST WITNESS A MOVE THE
BILL.
THERE'S A MOTION BY SENATOR
STONE DO YOU.
SUSAN LITTLE WITH THE
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP THE
SPONSOR OF THIS BILL.
AND AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER PULLED
MENTIONED --
WE KNOW THAT JUST A TINY AMOUNT
OF LEAD --
X. A CHILD'S EXPOSURE JUST A
TINY AMOUNT OF LEAD CAN REDUCE
THE CHILD'S IQ AND THEIR
COGNITIVE ABILITIES.
THEY ABSORB 50% OF THE LET THE
IT THAN JUST AND IF THEY'RE
MALNOURISHED THEY ABSORB EVEN IF
THEY ABSORB EVEN FASTER.
LET'S NOT A SURPRISE A THE
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
STATES THAT 88% OF CHILDREN WHO
ACTUALLY LEAD POISONED.
ARE FROM LOW INCOME FAMILIES AND
THOSE FAMILIES OFTEN RECEIVE
SUBSIDIZED CHILDCARE.
CHILDCARE CENTERS RIGHT NOW DO
NOT HAVE TO TEST THEIR DRINKING
WATER FOR LEAD.
SO WE DON'T KNOW IF THEIR WATER
IS SAFE BUT LIMITED TESTING THAT
HAS BEEN DONE.
SHOWS THAT SOME CENTERS DRINKING
WATER CONTAINS FAR MORE LEAD IN
THE EPA'S FIFTEEN PARTS PER
BILLION ACTION LEVEL.
THE DRINKING WATER ONE OAKLAND
CHILDCARE CENTER HAD TWO HUNDRED
FIFTY SIX PARTS PER MILLION LED.
DRINKING WATER TO CENTER IN SAN
DIEGO HAD FIFTY THREE PARTS PER
BILLION.
AND A PILOT PROJECT ON BY DONE
BUT INFORMAL DEFENSE FUND IN
FOUR DIFFERENT STATES.
FOUND THAT WATERIN A THIRD OF
THOSE CENTERS THAT THEY LOOKED
AT HAD LEAD LEVELS WELL ABOVE
THE EP ACTION LEVEL.
AS HIGH AS NINETY PARTS PER
BILLION.
THE LEADED CULPRIT AS A SUMMER
ROOM HOLDEN MENTIONED IS USUALLY
A FAUCET OR FIXTURE.
AND ON AND ON IN GENERALLY
SPEAKING THE REMEDIATION COSTS
WERE ANYWHERE BETWEEN FIVE
HUNDRED TO A THOUSAND DOLLARS
PER CENTER.
BECAUSE IT WAS THE FIXTURES THE
FAUCETS THEY WERE NEEDING TO FIX.
SO AB TWENTY THREE SEVENTY
REQUIRES DSS TO ENSURE THAT
CENTERS DRINKING WATERS LEAD
FREE.
AND THE BILL ALLOWS INTEREST
USING EXISTING NO INTEREST LOAN
PROGRAM TO PAY FOR LED
REMEDIATION.
THE BILL ALSO COMPLEMENTS
COMPLIMENTS A RECENT BUDGET
ALLOCATION OF FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS.
I PAY FOR CHILDCARE CENTER TECH
LEAD TESTING AND REMEDIATION
THEIR SO WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER HOLDINGS
LEADERSHIP AS WELL AS LEADERSHIP
OF OTHER --
MEMBERS IN THE LEGISLATURE --
WHO HELPED TO GET THAT MONEY
APPROPRIATE ARE ALLOCATED AND WE
WOULD ASK THAT THE COMMITTEE
SUPPORT THIS MEASURE THINKING
NEXT WITNESS?
I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF I'M ANDREA
VENTURE WITH CLEAN WATER ACTION --
WE'RE VERY HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS
BECAUSE OF THE OBVIOUS REASON
THAT WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR
YOUNGEST PARTS OF OUR POPULATION --
A COUPLE OF JUST POINTS ABOUT
STRENGTHS OF THIS BILL THAT WE
NEED TO MAINTAIN --
AND ONE IS THAT WE I PERIODIC
TESTING IN THIS BILL AND WE
SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE WRITING NO
FINDING NO EXCEED INCE'S ON A
GIVEN DAY IS NOT A GUARANTEE
THAT.
THE TOP IS SAFE OF LEAD IS AN
INCONSISTENT CONTAMINANT ó YOU
MIGHT FIND IT ONE DAY YOU MIGHT
NOT THE NEXT AND WE THINK THAT
WE DO NEED. TO RETAIN THAT ARE
THE RETESTING REQUIREMENT UNLESS
AND UNTIL IT CAN BE SHOWN THAT
THE FIXTURES ARE LEAD FREE --
BUT ON THAT LINE I WOULD ALSO
SAY THAT PROVIDING A SPECIFIC
VALUE AS LEAD FREE IN STATUTE
WOULD BE UNWISE THAT HAS BEEN
SUGGESTED BY.
SOME STAKEHOLDERS ARM THAT'S
BECAUSE BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL
AGENCIES ARE CURRENTLY REVIEWING
THE LET'S STANDARD.
AND IN PARTICULAR LEAD FREE
SHOULD NEVER BE SAID THIS OF
VALUE HIDAR HIGHER THAN THE
DETECTION LIMIT.
AS I IT MAY BE MODIFIED BY STATE
OR FEDERAL DRINKING WATER
REGULATIONS AND AS WE'VE HEARD
THERE IS NO SAFE LEVEL FOR LEAD.
SO WE SUPPORT THIS BILL AS IT IS --
AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THESE
ASPECTS OF THE BILL INTACT
OTHERS IN SUPPORT OF AB TWO
THREE FOUR ZERO PLEASE COME
FORWARD.
HI MY NAME FLORA THE HEN AND
PUBLIC HEALTH ADVOCATE WITH
CALPERS AND WE STAND IN STRONG
SUPPORT.
FOR AND AB TWENTY THREE SEVENTY
SO THAT WE CAN PROTECT THE
LITTLEST.
AS CITIZENS OF THIS STATE THANKS.
HOWEVER BECAUSE ANOTHER WITH THE
CENTER FOR BERMAN HEALTHY
SUPPORT.
THOUSANDS OF VEHICLE
CALIFORNIANS SUPPORT THANK YOU.
THE OF YOURS WITH ME WIRES AND
SUPPORT.
LINDA ESCALANTE WITH AN RTC IN
SUPPORT.
THERE ARE NONE WITH THE WESTERN
CENTER ON LAW AND POVERTY IN
STRONG SUPPORT.
IS THERE OPPOSITION TO AB.
TWENTY THREE SEVEN ZERO PLEASE
COME [inaudible]
FOR OR SOME OF THEM.
CINDY TALK WITH THE ASSOCIATION
OF CALIFORNIA WATER AGENCIES
WERE NOT OPPOSED TO THE BILL WE
HAVE A SUPPORTIVE AMENDED
POSITION.
AND WE THINK THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT BILL AN IMPORTANT
SUBJECT AREA.
THE COMMITTEE ON POLY REMEMBERS
THAT LAST YEAR YOU WORKED ON A
BILL BY ASSEMBLY WOMAN CN SOLVE
FOOT GONZALEZ FLETCHER AB SEVEN
FORTY SIX THAT WAS CHAPTER.
AND THAT SETS FORTH TESTING
REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
THAT'S NO STATE LAW.
SO AS NOTED ON PAGE NINE OF THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS WE SUGGESTED
THREE AMENDMENTS.
FIRST ONE WOULD SUGGEST THAT THE
REQUIRE TESTING BE FOR BUILDINGS
THAT WERE CONSTRUCTED OR
MODERNIZE BEFORE JANUARY.
ONE TWENTY TEN AND THAT'S
CONSISTENT WITH THE GONZALEZ
FLETCHER LEGISLATION FROM LAST
YEAR.
THE NEWER BUILDINGS ON THERE'S
REQUIREMENTS IN PLACE FOR THE
PIPES AND FIXTURES AND SUCH SO
THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.
SO WE SUGGEST THAT THAT DATE.
THE SECOND AMENDMENT WERE
SUGGESTING THAT THE BILL REQUIRE
CORRECTIVE ACTION IF THE LEAD
LEVEL EXCEEDS FIFTEEN PARTS PER
BILLION.
AND THE AUTHOR MAY BE THINKING
THAT ON THE DAY CARE CENTER
WOULD PROVIDE BOTTLED WATER
WHICH UNIT THAT WOULD BE A GOOD
OPTION BUT IF THE ON DAYCARE
CENTER DOES TAKE THE CORRECTIVE
ACTION TO REPLACE FAUCETS ARE
PIPES.
AND THAT KIND OF THING THAT'S AT
SOME COST TO THEM TO DO THAT.
THEN.
ONCE THEY CONFIRM WITH SOME
TESTING THAT THERE ISN'T LEAD
EXPOSURE THEN THERE WOULDN'T BE
A PROBLEM IN THE PERIODIC
TESTING AFTER THAT WOULDN'T BE
NEEDED.
SO WE THINK CAN AMENDMENT COULD
BE WORKED ON AND THAT WOULD BE
GLAD TO WORK WITH THE AUTHOR ON
THAT.
THE THIRD ISSUE THIRTY LAST
ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH THE USE OF
NEW TERMS ON NON CONTAMINATED
WATER.
IN THE TERM LEAD FREE.
THE TURN LEAD FREE IS ALREADY IN
STATE LINE OR DRINKING WATER
LAWS BUT IT REFERS TO THE
CONTENT OF LEAD IN THE PIPES AND
FAUCETS NOT THE LEAD IN THE
DRINKING WATER.
WE SUGGEST TAKING THOSE TERMS.
ON OUT OF THE BILL INSTEAD DOING
WHAT THEY DID IN ARKANSAS WHAT
YOUR BILL WITH WHICH IS USE THE
ACTUAL LEVEL.
THAT COMES FROM USEPA FIFTEEN
PARTS PER BILLION.
THOSE ARE THE THREE SUGGESTED
AMENDMENTS WE APPRECIATE THE
COMMITTEE'S CONSIDERATION AND
THE AUTHORS CONSIDERATION OF
THOSE AMENDMENTS ARE THERE
OTHERS OPPOSED.
TO AB.
TWENTY THREE SEVENTY I IT WAS
CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING BRING
IT BACK AND TO THE COMMITTEE
QUESTIONS FROM THE DAIS
[inaudible]
YOUR REFLECTIONS [inaudible]
WELL [inaudible]
ISRAEL I I I THINK THAT --
I'M CERTAINLY OPEN TO CONTINUE
TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS IN THERE
BUT I'M I'VE THERE MAY HAVE BEEN
A NUMBER OF VERY IMPORTANT
REASONABLE.
OF PROPOSALS AND WHAT WAS HIS
PERCENT OF I MUST SAY THAT.
I'M LEADING ANOTHER COMMITTEE
AND SO I'M GETTING TAX AS I'M
HERE AND SO I I WAS DISTRACTED
FOR JUST A MOMENT.
BUT I I CAN SAY THAT WE ALWAYS
WANT TO LOOK AT WAYS.
TO ATTACK AGAIN A REASONABLE
APPROACHES AND STRATEGIES ARE
AND AS WE MAKE OUR WAY TO THE
NEXT COMMITTEE AS IF WE'RE ABLE
TO MOVE FORWARD.
OF THEM WERE CERTAINLY WILL
CONTINUE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS
AND FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN GET.
WE'VE REVIEWED THEM AS IT IS
WHERE THAT AS FAR AS THE
COMMITTEE AND WE DON'T HAVE AN
OPINION ONE WAY THE OTHER I
WOULDN'T BE BRINGING IT BACK ONE
WAY OR THE OTHER.
DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU DO A FEW
GUYS NEGOTIATE THIS SEEMS.
YEAH BY BIG DAY TODAY SO I
UNDERSTOOD HER CAN I JUST SAY
THIS TO THOUGH BECAUSE THERE WAS
A A FAIR QUESTION RAISED.
ó IN TERMS OF WHY NOT
EXEMPTING TELL STRUCTURED
LICENSED DAYCARE CENTERS AND WE
WILL LOOK AT TAKING AMENDMENTS
TO ADDRESS THAT [inaudible]

AS A CHAIR THIS ORGANIZATION WAS

HEALTH QUESTIONS INCLUDED --
AS PART OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS
BY HIGH UP IN THE EARLY
SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES AND
URBAN GREEN GRANT PROGRAMS AT
THE SGC.
BY ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS
JUDY AND HER COLLEAGUES LEARNED
THAT THE WAY THEY HAD BEEN
BUILDING OUR COMMUNITIES IN

CHRONIC DISEASES IN A SOCIAL
ISOLATION.
MAKING IT HARDER FOR PEOPLE TO

ARE EXPOSED TO THESE CHEMICALS
OVER TIME THE ACCUMULATED OUR
BODIES AND IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
CAUSING A VARIETY OF ADVERSE
HEALTH EFFECTS INCLUDING AND TO
KERN AND THYROID DISRUPTION
CANCER.
AND HARMFUL NEUROLOGICAL IMPACTS.
ALTHOUGH FLAME RETARDANTS ARE
DANGEROUS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC
THEY POSE A PARTICULARLY HIGH
THREAT TO SPECIFIC.
POPULATIONS INCLUDING CHILDREN
AND FIREFIGHTERS WHO ARE OFTEN
EXPOSED TO THESE CHEMICALS IN
THEIR DERIVATIVES AT EVEN HIGHER.
RATES THAN THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
INFANTS ARE OFTEN EXPOSED TO
FLAME RETARDANT CHEMICALS
THROUGH CONTAMINATED DUST AND
BREAST MILK AND HAVE BEEN FOUND
TO HAVE THESE CHEMICALS IN THEIR
BODIES AT LEVELS. THREE TO FIVE
TIMES THE LEVELS AND THEIR MOMS.
FIREFIGHTERS ARE ALSO EXPOSED
AND THEIR DIRECT TO THE

AT HIGHER LEVELS THAN THE
GENERAL PUBLIC WHEN FLAME
RETARDANT CHEMICALS BURN.
THEY RELEASE CARCINOGENIC
SUBSTANCES KNOWN AS DIOXINS AND
FURANS THESE CHEMICALS ARE
HAILED BY FIREFIGHTERS AND
LINGER ON PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

A FIRE FIGHTER LEAVES THE SITE
OF A FIRE.
TRAGICALLY WE ARE SEEING HIGHER
RATES OF CANCER AMONGST
FIREFIGHTERS THAN EVER BEFORE
AND WE BELIEVE THIS IS A LEADING
CAUSE IN ADDITION TO BEING TOXIC.
THESE CHEMICALS ARE ALSO A
NECESSARY TO MEET FLAMMABILITY
STANDARDS IN TWENTY THIRTEEN
AFFECT WE AS A STATE UPDATED.
R. FLAMMABILITY STANDARD OF THE
PRODUCT.
DO NOT NEED FLAME RETARDANTS IN
ORDER TO MEET THAT STANDARD AND
THAT'S WHY MANY MANUFACTURERS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE ARE
VOLUNTARILY PHASING THEM OUT.
HOWEVER STRAGGLERS CONTINUE TO

CHEMICALS ARE NOT NECESSARY IN
THESE PRODUCTS --
THE THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY
COMMISSION AS NOTED THAT SLIM
RETURNS A NET NOT NECESSARY TO
MEET FEDERAL FLAMMABILITY
STANDARDS FOR MATTRESSES.
THE STATE'S OWN BUREAU HAS SAID
THAT FOR FURNITURE --
FLAME RETARDANTS DO NOT PROVIDE
ANY ADDITIONAL FIRE SAFETY AND
THAT OUR SAFETY STANDARDS CAN BE
MET WITH A PLUMBER CARTONS.
AND HAS EXEMPTED --
CHILDREN'S PRODUCTS FROM THE

MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS KRISTIE
BELL MUMBY OF THE CALIFORNIA
PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS I'D.
I FEEL LIKE I'M DISCUSS SHOUT
AMEN HERE BECAUSE THE AUTHOR.
BUT EXPERTLY HIT ON THE POINTS
THAT WE WOULD MAKE IS A FIRE
COMMUNITY WHICH IS THESE
CHEMICALS ARE KNOWN THREAT TO
THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR
MEMBERS AND TO THE PUBLIC WE
PROTECT.
AND FIRE BEHAVIOR EXPERTS HAVE
ALREADY DETERMINED THEY'RE NOT
NEEDED.
SO WHY CHOOSE TO PLACE THEM IN
THESE PRODUCTS TO CREATE MORE
HARM IN OUR ENVIRONMENT OUR
POPULATIONS.
AND INNER AND FOUR FIREFIGHTERS
SO FOR THOSE REASONS WERE IN
STRONG SUPPORT AND PLEASED TO BE
A CO SPONSOR OF THIS MEASURE
[inaudible]
NEXT WITNESS [inaudible]
SORRY -- I
THINK YOU TARA ASKING COMMITTEE
MEMBERS THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOU
TODAY I AM AND I READ AND I'M A
SCIENTIST AND I ACTUALLY SOURCE
DEFENSE COUNSEL.
ENTITIES HE STRONGLY SUPPORTS AB
TWENTY NINE NINETY EIGHT BECAUSE
PEOPLE ARE WIDELY EXPOSED. TO
TOXIC FORM RETARDANT CHEMICALS
WHICH ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A
VARIETY OF HARMFUL HEALTH
EFFECTS.
AND THE REMOVAL OF THESE
CHEMICALS FROM WHERE I'M FROM
PARKS REDUCE OUR EXPOSURES.
FRASER FOUND WIDESPREAD
CONTAMINATION FROM RETURN
CHEMICALS IN OUR HOMES SCHOOLS
AND OTHER INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS IN
ITS CHEMICALS THAT ARE ADDED TO
OUR HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS.
AND HOWEVER THEY DO NOT --
SAY IN THESE PRODUCT THEY
MIGRATE OUT AND THEY CONTAMINATE
OUR INTER AIR AND DUST.
AND ARE NOW FOUND IN 97% OF ALL
YOUR STRESS.
AND BLOOD FROM STRONG BODY
EVIDENCE FROM ALSO SHOWS THAT
BOTH LEGACY FROM RETURN
CHEMICALS AND THE REPLACEMENTS
CAN HAVE ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS
INCLUDING CANCER HORMONE
DISRUPTION.
REPRODUCTIVE DEVELOPMENTAL
TOXICITY SUCH AS INFERTILITY AND
INCREASED --
LEARNING DISABILITIES AND ALSO
ADVERSE EFFECTS ON THE IMMUNE
SYSTEM.
CERTAIN POPULATIONS INCLUDING
CHILDREN LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES
OF COLOR AND FIREFIGHTERS ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY
TOXIC WHEN CREEK COUPLES. FOR
EXAMPLE STUDIES FINE INFANTS AND
YOUNG CHILDREN ON AVERAGE HAVE
THREE TO FIFTEEN TIMES GREATER
LEVELS OF THESE --
CHEMICALS IN THEIR BLOOD
COMPARED TO THE MOTHERS.
AND INFANTS WITH MORE BABY
PRODUCTS AND HOMES TURNED HAVE
EVEN HIGHER LEVELS OF THESE
CHEMICALS IN THEIR BODIES UP TO
A HUNDRED TIMES GREATER THAN
THEIR MOTHERS.
ON THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN
BECAUSE CHILDREN'S BRAINS AND
BODIES ARE STILL DEVELOPING AND
THAT MAKES HIM UNIQUELY
VULNERABLE TO THE TOXIC EFFECTS
OF THESE CHEMICALS.
I'M STUDIES ALSO SHOW THAT WOMEN
INFLAMED TURN CHEMICALS AND
PRODUCTS IS INEFFECTIVE IN
EVIDENCE BASED APPROACH. TO
REDUCE HARMFUL CHEMICALS IN OUR
BODIES AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
HE BETWEEN AYE NINETY IT WOULD
DO IS REDUCE THE PRESENCE OF

REGARDING THIS BILL AND I
BELIEVE OUR IT'S FAIR TO SAY
THEIR OPPOSITION BOILS DOWN TO
TO A COUPLE OF PRIMARY POINTS --
WE WEEK WE'VE.
WE DISAGREE WITH THE UNDERLYING
PREMISE OF THE BILL THAT PAUL
FLAME RETARDANT CHEMISTRIES
REGARDLESS.
OTHER HEALTH AND SAFETY PROFILE.
CAN HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON
HUMAN HEALTH THE ENVIRONMENT
[inaudible]
THE DEFINITION OF FLAME
RETARDANT CHEMICAL IN THE BILL.
IS IN OUR VIEW SO BROAD THAT IT
WOULD NOT ONLY.
RESTRICT THE USE OF FLAME
RETARDANT CHEMISTRIES AND
TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE ON THE
MARKET TODAY.
BUT WOULD RESTRICT THOSE THAT
COULD BE INVENTED IN THE FUTURE
REGARDLESS OF THEIR CHEMICAL
COMPOSITION THERE HAS OUR
PROFILE.
OF OR ANY POTENTIAL FOR EXPOSURE
ONE COULD.
DESIGN THE MOST GREENEST
SUSTAINABLE.
FLAME RETARDANT CHEMISTRY
IMAGINABLE AND THAT WOULD BE
PROHIBITED.
UNDER THIS BILL INNOVATIONS ARE
TAKING PLACE THEIR NEW POLYMERIC
AND REACT TO FLAME RETARDANTS --
THERE HAVE BEEN COMMENTS MADE BY
FOLKS -- AT
THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH SCIENCES
AND THE NICE NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY
PROGRAM.
INDICATING THAT THESE FLAME
RETARDANTS THAT ARE USED IN A
REACTIVE MODE ON A POLYMERIC
MODE REDUCE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
EXPOSURE AND HENCE REDUCE RISK
[inaudible]
SO BASING.
PUBLIC POLICY ON A SWEEPING
GENERALIZATION OF THESE TYPES OF
CHEMISTRIES AYE AYE.
I THINK IS NOT THE RIGHT
DIRECTION TO BE GOING --
MISTER CHAIRMAN YOU MENTION THE
DTS HE PROGRAM WE TESTIFY BEFORE --
TODAY EARLIER TODAY ON ANOTHER
BILL AND WE FRANKLY THINK.
THAT'S THE POOL MOST APPROPRIATE
VENUE TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION --
THE DEPARTMENT HAS ACTED IN THE
SPACE THAT HAVE RESTRICTED --
HAVE IDENTIFIED.
AS A PRIORITY PRODUCT --
FLAME RETARDANTS IN AND CHILDREN
SLEEPING PADS --
BUT THIS YEAR'S BUDGET HAS AN
INCREASE OF ONE POINT TWO
MILLION DOLLARS FOR EXPEDITED
REVIEW AN ADDITIONAL REVIEW.
SO I THINK WE JUST HAVE A
FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE OF
OPINION AS TO MAKING SWEEPING
GENERALIZATIONS ABOUT FLAME
RETARDANT CHEMISTRIES AND
ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH AND
EXAMINING WHICH ONES ARE BEING
USED.
WHETHER THEY'RE ALTERNATIVES AND
IF THEY'RE BEING USED IN A
MANNER THAT RESULTS EXPOSURES
THAT COULD POTENTIALLY.
CAUSE HARM.
THE SECOND POINT I WOULD MAKE IS
THAT THE LEGISLATURE PASSED A
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO EIGHT
FURNITURE LABELING BILL.
THAT PROVIDES CONSUMERS WITH THE
OPPORTUNITY --
TO MAKE INFORMED PURCHASING
DECISIONS.
AND IF CONSUMERS WOULD LIKE TWO
ELECTED BY PRODUCTS THAT DO NOT
CONTAIN THESE CHEMISTRIES THEY
CERTAINLY HAVE THAT INFORMATION
TO DO SO --
WE JUST THINK THE BILLS AS A
TROLLEY DRAFTED IS OVERLY BROAD
IT IMPLICATES CHEMISTRIES THAT
ARE -- THAT
STATES HAVE AN IMPACT ON
INNOVATION --
AND AGAIN WE THINK THAT THE
DEPARTMENT TOXICS PROGRAM --
IS THE MORE APPROPRIATE VENUE TO
HAVE THIS CONVERSATION IF THE
LEGISLATURE WANTS TO DIRECT THEM
TO EXPEDITE REVIEW ON THESE
COUNTRY CHEMISTRIES OR SHOULD BE
MORE PRIORITY --
THAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE PAST --
BUT AS THE BILL'S COUNTY WRITTEN
WE WE DO HAVE CONCERNS AND AND
OUR POST THANK YOU [inaudible]
X. WITNESS.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS RYAN
TRAINER I'M PRESIDENT OF THE
INTERNATIONAL SLICK PRODUCTS
ASSOCIATION WE REPRESENT THE
MATTRESS IMAGE INDUSTRY AND
SUPPORT THE ACC'S POSITION.
THIS BILL IS OVERLY BROAD
DEFINITION OF FLAME RETARDANTS
WILL CAUSE SERIOUS HARM.
ALTHOUGH WE'RE IN DISCUSSIONS
WITH A ASSEMBLYMAN BLOOMS OFFICE
TO TRY TO WORK OUT SOME
COMPROMISES --
I WILL TELL YOU HOW THE BILL IS
CURRENTLY WORDED WILL IMPACT OF
OUR INDUSTRY.
FIRST OF ALL IT WOULD PROHIBIT
ALL MATTRESS SALES IN CALIFORNIA
SECOND IT WOULD DESTROY HUNDREDS
OF GOOD MANUFACTURING AND RETAIL
JOBS IN THE STATE.
THIRD TO COST THE STATE OVER ONE
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS IN
LOST SALES TAX REVENUE BECAUSE
OF THOSE LOST SALES.
AND FINALLY IT WOULD CREATE AN
ENFORCEMENT NIGHTMARE THAT WILL
HURT TRADITIONAL BRICK AND
MORTAR RETAILERS LET ME EXPLAIN
WHY.
ALL MATTRESSES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES MUST BE TO FEDERAL
FLAMMABILITY STANDARDS.
MATTRESSES CONTAIN LATEX FOAM OR
POLYURETHANE FOAM TO PROVIDE
CONSUMERS COMFORT AND SUPPORT.
IF IGNITED THESE MATERIALS WILL
QUICKLY LEAD TO DEADLY FIRES.
AWARE OF HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED
WITH FIRE FLAME RETARDANTS USED
IN FOAM THE MATTRESS INDUSTRY
HAS SHUNNED THOSE CHEMICALS AND
INSTEAD USES FIRE BARRIERS TO
MEET THE STANDARDS.
THE BARRIERS OF MADE OF FIBER
AND FABRIC IN CLOSE THE PHONES
TO BLOCK HEAT AND OXYGEN FROM
REACHING THEM.
A FIRE BARRIERS ARE MADE WITH
VARIOUS HOME PLATE RETARDANT
CHEMICALS.
THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY
COMMISSION HAS TESTED THOSE FOR
CHEMICALS AND FOUND THEM SAFE
FOR CONSUMERS THE WORKERS TO
HANDLE THEM.
AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
EVEN SO THE BILL'S OVERLY BROAD
TERMS WOOD NOT ONLY.
WOULD BAN NOT ONLY THE FOAM FIRE
RETARDANT CHEMICALS THAT WE
DON'T USE BOWED ALSO BANNED THE
OTHER BENEFICIAL FOR CHEMICALS
THAT WE NEED FOR THE FIRE
BARRIERS.
WITHOUT THESE CHEMICALS WE
SIMPLY CANNOT SELL MATTRESSES
THAT MEET THE FEDERAL STANDARDS.
LAST YEAR CALIFORNIANS BUT
NEARLY FIVE MILLION MATTRESSES
WITH ALMOST TWO MILLION TWO
BILLION DOLLARS.
IF THIS BILL PASSES BED
MANUFACTURES WILL CLOSE
RETAILERS WON'T SELL MATTRESSES
IN THE STATE WILL LOSE MILLIONS
IN SALES TAXES.
FINALLY UNLESS CALIFORNIA HIRES
HUNDREDS ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL
MANY INTERNET SALES OF THESE
PRODUCTS WILL ESCAPE THE BILL'S
OVERLY BROAD BANDS.
AND TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD
RETAILERS WILL BE HEARD.
THIS BILL IS TO IS MUCH TOO
BROAD IT WILL CAUSE MASSIVE HARM
IF ENACTED PLEASE DO NOT APPROVE
IT [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
OTHER SUPPOSED TO AB.
TWENTY NINE NINETY EIGHT TOM
JACOB ON BEHALF OF THE CHEMICAL
INDUSTRY COUNCIL OF CALIFORNIA.
A WE'RE OPPOSED TO FOR THE
REASONS ARTICULATED PARTICULARLY.
BECAUSE OF THE IMPORT OF THE
SAFER CONSUMER PRODUCTS PROGRAM
THANK.
ADEQUATELY ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
AND THE CALIFORNIA MANUFACTURERS
AND TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATIONS IN
OPPOSITION THINKS.
MELISSA WARNER ON BEHALF OF THE
RETAIL INDUSTRY LEADERS
ASSOCIATION ALSO OPPOSITION
THINK YOU.
OKAY LET'S CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING ARM.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER BLOOM BOOK IMAGES
BEEN PAIN AT THAT.
I WILL BE SLEEPING ON A MAP. ONE
DAY OF DRONE WILL BE FLYING
ACROSS.
THE SKY WITH THE MATTRESS A TASK
THAT YOU KNOW FROM SOME
SUBVERSIVE TYPE.
WHAT DO YOU SEE THESE CRITICISMS
AS THE BILL'S DRAFTED?
AS THE BILL AS DRAFTED NIGHT
WOULD ASK MY A WITNESSES TO TRY
BENEFIT LIKE --
BUT AS THE BILL AS DRAFTED WE
DON'T BELIEVE THAT --
AT THOSE WILL BE A WITH THE BILL --
WE'VE COMMITTED TO CONTINUING TO
WORK WITH THE MATTRESS INDUSTRY
ON LANGUAGE --
INFECTED ONLY TODAY THEY'VE
INDICATED TO ME THAT THEY FELT
OPTIMISTIC THAT WE'RE GOING TO
BE ABLE TO REACH A COMPROMISE.
ON ON LANGUAGE --
BUT IN THEM IN THE MATTRESS WERE
WORRIED ABOUT THIS I PRESUME
OVER ABOUT RETARDANT ON THE
OUTSIDE GOT THAT BUT THERE'S
RETARDANT ON THE INSIDE.
AND IF THERE'S A FIRE THE
CHEMICAL RELEASE THAT WILL OCCUR
IN THE INHALATION BY
FIREFIGHTERS ARE.
PEOPLE THAT EXPAT FIRE RIGHT
[inaudible]
YES [inaudible]
YOU [inaudible]
ELIMINATE ON THE CARRIERS FIRE.
RETARDANT BARRIERS IN MATTRESSES
AND WHY.
A YES UMPS TO AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER
BLOOM MENTIONED WE'VE BEEN AND
CONVERSATIONS WITH ISPA ON
TRYING TO FOR FINESSE THE
DEFINITION AND GET TO THE RIGHT
PLACE ON IT.
A AS WRITTEN YOU KNOW IS
DESIGNED TO PREVENT REGRETTABLE
SUBSTITUTION BASICALLY THE
PRACTICE OF USING CHEMICALS ARE
VERY SIMILAR TO CHEMICAL
THURMOND FOUND TO BE HARMFUL.
WHICH OFTEN SUBSTITUTING
PRODUCTS THAT'S WHY IT'S WRITTEN
BROADLY BUT BUT I THINK WE'RE
MAKING PROGRESS AND WILL
CONTINUE TO MEET WITH --
MISS TRAINER AND HIS ASSOCIATES
TO TRY AND REACH A CONCLUSION
AND A DEFINITION THAT WORK IN
THIS PROCESS AND I THINK WE'RE
GETTING CLOSER TO IT.
OKAY BECAUSE THIS BILL.
APPROVED TO GO SAID BUSINESS AND
PROFESSIONS NEXT WEEK SO IT'S
DOUBLE REFERRED RIGHT RIGHT
QUESTIONS FOR THE DATA CENTER
STONE YEAH THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR AND NO.
MY FRIEND ASSEMBLY EMBLEM IT'S
GOOD TO SEE YOU. TO SEE ARTHUR.
I HAVE SOME CONCERNS OBVIOUSLY
ABOUT THE BILL MIGHT.
MY DAUGHTER LIVES HERE DISTRICT
SHE LIVES IN --
AND HOLLYWOOD SO I THINK THIS
PARTY DISTRICT SHE ORDERED US A
MATTRESS CALL CASPER.
WELL ON MONEY.
SO UP I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY'RE
DISTRIBUTED OUT OF BUT I WOULD
ASSUME THAT UNDER THE SPELL OF
IT WOULD BECOME LAW THAT.
THE MANUFACTURERS OF CASPER MAY
NOT HAVE TO COMPLY AND MAY HAVE.
RICH HARDEN SAID [inaudible]
YOU WOULD [inaudible]
BASICALLY OUTLAW.
SO MY FIRST CONCERN IS.
WITH BRICKS AND MORTAR
[inaudible]
POSSIBILITIES I MEAN I HER
ADVERTISEMENTS ARE TIME FOR
CITIZENS SEVEN SLEEPS STARTED IN
LA THAT ARE.
MUST HAVE THIRTY OR FORTY STORES
INCLUDING IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY --
I WORRY THAT --
YOU KNOW.
THE SUCCESSFUL COMPANIES WERE
GOING BE PUTTING IN HARM'S WAY --
IF WE BASICALLY OUTLAW --
NUMBER OF MATTRESSES IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA WHICH IS
GOING TO FORCE PEOPLE TO USE
ONLINE RETAILERS AT A TIME WHEN.
WE ALREADY SEE THAT COMPANIES
LIKE -- BEST
BUY AND MORE RECENTLY AARON
BROTHERS CLOSE DOWN ON BECAUSE
THEY THESE CAN'T COMPETE WITH
THESE ONLINE RETAILERS ON YOU
WORRIED ABOUT THAT ELECTED KNOW.
HOW YOU PLAN?
TO HOLD EVERYBODY TO THE SAME
STANDARD SPECIALLY INTERNET
COMPANIES.
AND THEN I APPRECIATE --
YOUR YOUR COLLEAGUE THAT --
MENTION THE BROADNESS OF THE
BILL.
AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE
BIG CONCERNS THAT.
YOU'RE BASICALLY SAYING THAT.
ALL FLAME RETARDANTS ARE
UNHEALTHY I MEAN YOU COULD HAVE
A BED THEORETICALLY THAT'S GOT
WATER BALLOONS ON THE OUTSIDE
AND THE WATER WE NO WE PUT OUT A
FIRE BUT YET UNDER YOUR BILL
WOULD BE [inaudible]
THE LEGAL SO I'M I'M SURE THAT
THERE ARE SOME.
BAD FLAME RETARDANT CENTER OUT
THERE THAT WE OBVIOUSLY DON'T
WANT -- TO
EXPOSE OUR FIREFIGHTERS AND CAN
PUT THEM IN JEOPARDY OF INHALING
SOMETHING TO CAUSE --
SOME MORE MORBIDITY ISN'T IT AND
ILLNESSES --
SO -- I ALSO
IN CONCERNED ABOUT FEDERAL
PREEMPTION --
THERE TO FEDERAL FIRE STANDARDS.
FOR BEDS IN TWO THOUSAND AND
FIVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT --
LOOKED EXHAUSTIVELY AT OF ALL
THE DIFFERENT TO OF FIRE
RETARDANT CHEMICALS AND THEY
CONCLUDED THAT THE FIRE BARRIERS
UNDER CONSIDERATION POSE NO
[inaudible]
RISKS.
SO IF WE HAVE FIFTY STATES THAT
ARE COMING UP OF FIFTY STANDARDS
I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT
MANUFACTURES OF MAX'S ARE GOING
TO BE ABLE.
TO COST EFFECTIVELY --
SELL THEIR MATTRESSES --
CERTAINLY.
IN OUR STATE --
WE ALSO KNOW THAT AND I THINK WE
AGREE THAT.
THE PHONES THAT ARE USED IN.
AND THE BEDS.
IF THEY BECOME YOU KNOW --
INFLAMED CAN CAUSE.
WITHOUT A DOUBT SOME SOME HEALTH
RISK OF BEES RETARDANTS WHICH
CAN BE FIVE OR FABRIC --
WOULD BE OUTLAWED UNDER YOUR
BILL THAT WOULD PREVENT
BASICALLY THAT PHONE FROM
IGNITING WHICH REALLY POSES SOME
SIGNIFICANT HEALTH RISK SO.
I DON'T DURING A LOT OF
QUESTIONS THAT YOU AT ONE TIME
BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT --
THE OVERLY BROAD THE SEVEN I'M
CONCERNED ABOUT THE FEDERAL
PREEMPTION.
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT --
THE INTERNET SALES --
IN A MOST CONCERNED ABOUT A
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS IN
AND RETAIL CELLS THAT --
COULD HURT LOCALITIES DEPEND ON
THAT SELLS TAX THAN IN INSERTED
THE JOBS TO SELL MATTRESSES BUT
I MEAN I APPRECIATE THE THE
INTENT OF YOUR BILL WE WANT TO
MAKE IT.
SAFE OF BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT.
OF PEOPLE THAT UNFORTUNATELY
STILL SMOKE AND SMOKE IN BED
WILL MAKE SURE THAT --
THEIR BEDS DON'T CATCH FIRE --
WE SHARE WE SAVE A LOT OF LIES
WITH THE THE TECHNOLOGIES BUT
THAT AT THE SAME TIME WE HAVE A
CAREFUL BALANCE SO THAT WE DON'T.
I MAKE PEOPLE SICK SITE EVERY
FUTURE COMPLEMENT START WITH
THAT THAT POINT CENTER AND THANK
YOU FOR YOUR QUESTIONS A A IT'S
ALREADY BEEN ESTABLISHED I THINK --
A SUFFICIENTLY THAT FIRE
RETARDANT --
ARE UNNECESSARY --
IN THAT IN THESE PRODUCTS AND
THAT'S WHY THIS BILL IS MOVING
FORWARD SO THE* THEMSELVES
ARE NOT NECESSARY.
UP PUBLIC SAFETY AND IF IF THEY
WERE WE HAVE A DIFFERENT
PERSPECTIVE I THINK CAN YOU BE
SAYING A DIFFERENT BILL WITH.
RESPECT --
TO INTERNET VERSES BRICK AND
MORTAR A EVERYONE SUBJECT TO THE
SAME RULES THERE'S THE THERE'S
THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE THAT I'M
AWARE OF AND TO ALSO NOT SURE
WHY THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM AND
I GOT VERY TO ENFORCEMENT.
DO WE HAVE THE CAPABILITIES TO
ENFORCE OUR LAWS ON OUT OF STATE --
MANUFACTURERS DOING THAT
CURRENTLY WITH THE AMAZON AND
OTHER ONLINE RETAILERS SO WHY
NOT.
A I I I DON'T --
NO REASON WHY.
A WHO WE WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM
THERE [inaudible]
I AM.
THERE I WAS REFERENCE TWO
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS IN
LOST SALES --
I ASSUME THAT'S THE A DOLLAR
FIGURE FOR THE SALE OF
MATTRESSES IN THE IN THE STATE
ON AN ANNUAL BASIS THIS BILL IS
NOT INTENDED TO AND WILL NOT.
STOP MATTRESS SALES PEOPLE WILL
STILL.
ACTIVE NEED A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP
THEIR MATCH.
THERE WILL BE PRODUCTS AVAILABLE
FOR THEM --
I I THINK I CAN YOU KNOW.
I TRY TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE THAT
CAME UP IN THAT REGARD IT'S IF
WE CAN'T COMPLY WITH THE FEDERAL
STANDARD --
THEN WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SELL
MATTRESSES IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WE DON'T THINK THAT'S
GOING TO BE AN ISSUE BUT THAT IS
THE LANGUAGE ISSUE.
THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON
ALL -- A
COMMIT TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT
I'M NOT SURE IF I GOT TO ALL OF
YOUR ISSUES.
TOUCH OF PREEMPTION [inaudible]
I'M.
THE FEDERAL STANDARDS ARE FIVE
ABILITY STANDARDS AND THIS THIS
IS NOT A FLAMMABILITY STANDARDS
SIMPLY SAYS YOU CAN'T USE FLAME
RETARDANT IN THESE PRODUCTS SO
IT SHOULDN'T POSE A RISK GROUP
OF PREEMPTION PERSPECTIVE --
AND IT IN ADDITION TO WHAT THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER SAID I WOULD
POINT OUT THAT IN TERMS OF THE
DEFINITIONS THAT WE'RE WORKING
WITH.
WE ARE REALIZE THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THE FOAM IN THE BARRIERS
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE WORKING
WITH THIS THAT PRODUCTS MET --
MANUFACTURERS TO TRY AND GET TO
LANGUAGE THAT WOULD ALLOW THE
BARRIERS TO BE TREATED IN A
DIFFERENT WAY ESPECIALLY WE
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE SEVERAL
DIFFERENT TACK TECHNOLOGIES
BEING USED AS BARRIER SOME USE
CHEMICALS MORE THAN OTHERS AND
WE TRY TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN
THOSE -- TWO
AND THAT'S PARTLY WHY HAS.
THE MEMBER POINTED OUT WE
OPTIMISTIC AFTER TODAY'S
CONVERSATIONS THAT CAN GET THEIR
OKAY WELL I'M NOT A ENGINEER SO
I DON'T KNOW HOW MATTRESSES ARE
MADE EYES NO THE MATCH IS USE
LOT OF PHONE THESE RETARDANT SO
SHELL TO KEEP THE PHONE FROM
CATCHING ON FIRE SO.
I GET IT IS IT FROM AN
ELEMENTARY STANDPOINT IF YOU
HAVE PHONE WHAT DO YOU USE IN
THE PLACE OF RAYON OR FABRIC OR
A FIRE RETARDANT KEEP THAT
DEADLY PHONE FROM CATCHING FIRE.
THAT THINK THEY'RE DIFFERENT
TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE IN THAT
THIS IS MY UNDERSTANDING SO IF
I'M WRONG AND I THINK PLEASE
CORRECT ME BUT AS I UNDERSTAND
IT THERE FIVE DIFFERENT
TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE --
THEY INCLUDE THINGS OUR
MATERIALS AND FIBERS THAT ARE
LIKE SILICON OUR STAND WHICH WE
THINK.
IS YOU IS OKAY USE THAT WE'RE
TRYING TO FIND LANGUAGE TO ALLOW
THAT KIND OF USE THEIR OTHER
TECHNOLOGIES WHICH INVOLVE
CHEMICALS WHICH WE THINK A
PROBLEMATIC AND WE'RE TRYING TO
GET TO A PLACE WHERE WE CAN.
ALLOW THE APPROPRIATE
TECHNOLOGIES AND TAKE CARE OF
THE ONES THAT ARE.
NOT QUITE THAT AND JUST FUN IF I
COULD JUST GIVE THE OF OPPONENTS
THAT OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND TO
SOME OF MY QUESTIONS AS WELL AS
THANK YOU CENTER --
JUST OF TO CLARIFY --
IZOMBIE MENTIONED THERE THERE
ARE FIVE FIBERS THAT WE USE FIVE
BASIC TECHNOLOGIES --
EACH OF THEM REQUIRES THE USE OF
FIRE RETARDANTS IN THE LOW OF
THE THE THE THE NOTION THAT WE
CAN COMPLY WITH A FEDERAL
STANDARD WITHOUT FIRE RETARDANTS.
IS COMPLETELY INACCURATE WE NEED
FIRE RETARDANTS TO MEET THE
STANDARD AND IT'S BECAUSE OF
THAT THAT WE HAVE A
CONSTITUTIONAL PROBLEM WE HAVE A
FEDERAL STANDARD THAT SETS A A
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT.
AND THEN A STATE REQUIREMENT
THAT SAYS YOU CANNOT MEET THAT
SO -- IT'S
FOR THAT REASON THAT THE BILL AS
CURRENTLY DRAFTED WILL RESULT IN
TWO BILLION DOLLARS OF LOST
SALES NINE HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION
A HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION IS THE
TAX IMPACT AND ON SALES TAXES.
LET ALONE THE INCOME TAXES THAT
THE UNEMPLOYED WORKERS WOULD NOT
BE PAYING ANYMORE.
SO THAT'S TWO BILLION DOLLARS IN
LOST SALES --
AN INTERLUDE ENFORCEMENT --
ISSUE YEAH OR YOU'RE RIGHT
I EVERYONE MUST COMPLY WITH THE
SAME LAW BUT BE ABLE TO TO
ENFORCE THE LAW WITH RESPECT TO
PEOPLE WHO HAVE A PHYSICAL
PRESENCE IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS IN
OUR CITIES.
VERSUS SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T HAVE
THAT PHYSICAL.
AND THE NOTION THAT THEY WON'T
HAVE TO BE ANYMORE ENFORCEMENT
PERSONNEL AT ANYMORE --
RESOURCES DEVOTED TO THAT I
THINK IS IS --
UNFOUNDED SO OF AYE AYE WE STAND
BY ALL OF THE OF THE POINTS WE
MADE AND AND THAT CURRENT BILL
IF ENACTED AS IS CURRENTLY
WORDED WOULD BE DISASTROUS FOR
THE MATTRESS INDUSTRY.
AND CALIFORNIANS CANNOT LEGALLY
BUY A NEW MATTRESS AFTERWARDS.
THE PARENTS WERE [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
IF I MAY MAKE ONE MORE POINT AND
THE DEAD LANGUAGE WITH THE NEW
DISCUSSING WHETHER WOULD ALLOW
THREE OF THE DIFFERENT FIVE
DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES THAT.
ARE UNDER CONSIDERATION --
AND THAT WOULD BASICALLY MEAN
THAT MATTRESSES CAN CONTINUE BE
SOLD IN CALIFORNIA WITHOUT
ENDANGERING CALIFORNIANS --
AND DOES THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE
WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO AND WE'VE
BEEN MEETING WITH THEM TO TRY
AND GET THERE BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN
SEEKING INFORMATION THAT HAS
BEEN AVAILABLE UNTIL RECENTLY
AND ANOTHER WE GETTING THAT
INFORMATION TO TRY TO GET TO A
BETTER PLACE --
AND IN IN TERMS OF THEY
CONTINUED A INTERNET SALES THAT
THAT APPLIES TO SO MANY
DIFFERENT PRODUCTS ARE SOLD IN
CALIFORNIA AND ANY TO ALMOST
ANYTHING IS SOLD ON THE INTERNET.
THE BUREAU OF HOME FURNISHINGS
AND THERMAL INSULATION ALREADY
REGULATES LABELS ON FURNITURE
WHICH ALSO SOLD ON THE INTERNET
AND THIS WOULD JUST FIT INTO THE
EXISTING.
ENFORCEMENT SKIN.
THE NICE THING ABOUT FEDERAL
PREEMPTION IS THAT.
IT'S VERY CLEAR.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WINS WE LOSE
SO IF IT'S THERE IS A
CONSTITUTIONALLY PROBLEMS NOT
SAYING THERE IS BUT THAT'S ACT
CLEARS ITSELF UP.
WANTED TO CLOSE MY OUR SUMMER
BLOOM EXPENSE TO CARE MEMBERS.
OF THIS IS A BILL THAT HAS
ENJOYED DEBT BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.
TO OF A THROUGH ITS THAT JOURNEY
IN THE ASSEMBLY AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR IVA.
AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THAT OF THESE ISSUES WITH
OPPOSITION HERE WILL MOVE YOUR
BILL AB TWENTY NINE NINETY EIGHT
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
I AM NUMBER FIFTY TWO AB TWO

FAITH THAT WILL KEEP THAT MATTER
OPEN NOW I SEE THAT I FORGOT
CONVENIENCE SOUNDS WE HAVE ONE
MORE THIS IS ITEM NUMBER.
THIRTY FOUR AB. TWENTY FOUR
NINETY THREE THANK YOU I JUST
THOUGHT YOU WERE LEAVING THE
BEST FOR LAST I'M NOT I JUST.
OF OR AT LEAST AT ONE TIME WITH
THE VALUES YOU DOWN THE LINE I
DIDN'T HAVE.
MY COLOR CODE --
RITA WRAPPED DEFINITION OF
CONVENIENCE ON SEVERAL RESOLVE
THAT.
WE DO ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS ON THAT AND TO
EXTENSIVE PAGE [inaudible]
NINE I'M.
THE CALIFORNIA BEVERAGE
CONTAINER PROGRAM WHICH IS
BETTER KNOWN AS THE BOTTLE BELTS
PROGRAM IS A SELF FUNDED PROGRAM
THAT ENCOURAGES.
CONSUMERS TO RECYCLE THEIR
BEVERAGE CONTAINERS TO PREVENT
LETTERING IT'S BEEN AROUND FOR
AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER --
BUT AT LEAST THREE DECADES IN
OVER THOSE DECADES OF OPERATION
THE BOTTLE BILL PROGRAM HAS
DIVERTED TONS OF BEVERAGE
CONTAINERS FROM LANDFILLS.
AND FOR MOST OF THIS TIME HAS
BEEN SEEN AS A MODEL RECYCLING
PROGRAM.
HOWEVER OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS
THAT REPUTATION HAS TAKEN A HIT
PROGRAM IS CONTINUING TO TREND
IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.
IN FACT IN TWENTY FIFTEEN
APPROXIMATELY ONE THIRD THE
TOTAL IN STATE RECYCLING
INFRASTRUCTURE.
SHUDDERED THEIR OPERATIONS AND
THESE ARE THE VERY PLACE WHERE
CONSUMERS RETURNED THERE
CONTAINERS TO GET THEIR MONEY
BACK -- THIS
THAT MASSIVE --
INFRASTRUCTURE LOS BROUGHT TO
LIGHT MANY OF THE EXISTING
ISSUES WITH THE PROGRAM IN THESE
ISSUES INCLUDE UP FRAUD WITHIN
THE PROGRAM THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAMS.
AND THE PROGRAM'S RIGID
STRUCTURE THAT AND ABILITY. TO
REACT TO CHANGING MARKET
CONDITIONS AND CONSUMER
BEHAVIORS AS A RESULT TODAY MANY
AREAS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
LIMITED OR NO ACCESS TO
REDEMPTION OPPORTUNITIES.
BUT MOST DISTRESSING IS THAT
MORE AND MORE CONTAINERS THAT
COULD BE AND SHOULD BE RECYCLED
ARE ENDING UP IN OUR LANDFILLS
OUR WATERWAYS AND EROSION SIMPLY
BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS BROKEN.
AND THIS IS COMPLETELY CONTRARY
TO US -- OF
PUBLIC POLICY THAT WE SET IN
PLACE MANY MANY DECADES AGO.
AND FACT IN THE LATEST ANNUAL
REPORT PUBLISHED BY CAL RECYCLE.
THE BEVERAGE CONTAINER RECYCLING
RATE HAS NOW FALLEN 5% SINCE
TWENTY THIRTEEN AND HAS REACHED
ITS LOWEST LEVEL SINCE TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT AND I THINK MOST
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC UNDERSTAND
THIS.
OF BUT THIS DOWNWARD TREND IS
EXPECTED TO TEN YOU ABSENT
IMMEDIATE CHANGES.
AB TWENTY FOUR NINETY THREE IS
NOT A SILVER BULLET BUT IT WILL
HELP MODERNIZE THE BOTTLE BILL
PROGRAM BY REMOVING SOME
OPERATIONAL RESTRICTIONS TO
ENABLE.
TECHNOLOGICAL IN INNOVATION
WITHIN THE PROGRAM AND THEREFORE
I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR THERE'S
A MOTION BY CENTER STONE YOUR
FIRST WITNESS.
CARE MEMBERS MARK MURRAY WITH
CALIFORNIANS AGAINST WASTE AND
THIS BILL --
TRACK SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FROM
CAL RECYCLE TO PROVIDE GREATER
FLEXIBILITY IN THE DESIGNATION
OF ZONES IN THE OPERATION OF
THOSE ZONES ON AND IN THE THE
WAY THE TRANSACTIONS CAN BE
HANDLED. TO TRY TO ADDRESS SOME
OF THE OF WHAT ARE NOW 900- AND
SEVENTY UNSERVED ZONES IN THE
STATE.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY
OPPOSITION THIS MEASURE HEARD
YOUR SUPPORT.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS TONY
GONZALEZ ON BEHALF OF A TIME IN
NORTH AMERICA --
WE STRONGLY SUPPORT THE BILL
THINK ASSEMBLY MEMBER BLOOM AND
STAFF IN VARIOUS COMMITTEE STAFF
WERE.
OF THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN --
PUT INTO THE BILL'S --
THOMAN EARTH AMERICA IS A AND
INTERNATIONAL RECYCLING COMPANY
WE PROVIDE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS
ARE IN EVERY DAY ALMOST EVERY
DEPOSIT SYSTEM AROUND THE WORLD.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BLOOM IS
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THAT THE
PROGRAM HAS --
IS SOMEWHAT BROKEN --
BUT ALSO IN SOME WAYS
CALIFORNIA'S RECYCLING PROGRAM
IS BECOMING OUT LIAR.
IN THE ACTUAL --
THE PHYSICAL PROCESS OF
REDEMPTION IN CALIFORNIA IS
REALLY BEHIND THE TIMES --
EVERY DEPOSIT SYSTEM IN THE
NORTHEAST UNITED STATES CANADA
WESTERN EUROPE NO AUSTRALIA.
USES MUCH MORE TECHNOLOGY IN THE
ACT OF REDEMPTION ITSELF.
OF LANGUAGES BEEN INCLUDED IN
AND AB TWENTY FOUR NINETY THREE
THAT THEY WELL IT'S NOT QUITE
THERE IT'S JUST ABOUT THEIR WE
NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE WORK I TO
GET DONE BUT WE DO STRONGLY
SUPPORT THE BILL WOULD FOR TO
GETTING ALL WRAPPED UP.
OTHERS IN SUPPORT OF AB TWENTY

GOOD BILL [inaudible]
OBVIOUSLY.
DON'T NEED TO HEAR FROM ME ABOUT.
MORE WORK MAY NOT BE DONE.
IF YOU WILL I'M PLEASE CLOSE.
A MISTER CHAIR AND THE A
COMMITTEE MEMBER --
I I WOULD JUST REPEAT WHAT I
SAID BEFORE AND THAT IS THAT IF
CALIFORNIANS KNEW THAT THEIR
ABILITY TO RECYCLE.
IS SEVERELY IMPAIRED I THINK
THEY'D BE VERY UPSET WITH US --
AND IN FACT THAT IS WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN THE STATE IT'S THAT
WE HAVE THREE PILLARS.
BOND THAT ARE VERY VERY
FUNDAMENTAL IN AND
ENVIRONMENTALISM THAT'S REDUCE
REUSE AND RECYCLE.
AND THAT RECYCLE ELEMENT IS.
A JUST NOT HAPPENING TO THE
EXTENT THAT SHOULD WE NEED TO
FIX THIS PROGRAM A AGAIN THIS
BILL IS.
A SMALL STEP IN THAT DIRECTION
I'VE BEEN WORKING COUPLE YEARS
NOW AND I AM HOPEFUL THAT WE'LL
BE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER TO
ACHIEVE SOME.
CARRIER PROGRESS IN THE COMING
YEAR FLOOR TO THOSE DAYS FRANKLY

IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THEY
WERE A A BOWEL ONE MILLION

LA* TO SAVE AND AFFORDABLE
DRINKING WATER YOU BLOOM WAS TO
STATES ONGOING EFFORT.
CURRENT LAW ALREADY ALLOW DO
WATER BOARD TO REQUIRE A
CONSOLIDATION AND EXPANSION OF

THAT ARE STRUGGLING TO PROVIDE
CLEAN DRINKING WATER.
THIS BILL FOCUS ON THE REALLY
REALLY SMALL WATER SYSTEM.
THERE ARE OFTEN ALL OVER LOOK
BUT OUR MOST VULNERABLE.
A LOT OF THOSE WATER CISTERN ARE
NEXT DOOR TO LARGE LARGER MEN
WATER SYSTEM THAT CAN BE EASILY
ASSUME.
THE FILL CUSTOMER BY BILL WOULD
ALLOW FOR THIS TO HAPPEN

WELCOME [inaudible]
PLEASE.
THANK YOU GOOD AFTERNOON --
AGAIN THIS BILL --
WILL ADDRESS SOME OF THE ON
UNACCOUNTED FOR AND ON
ADDRESSABLE PROBLEMS THAT WE
CURRENTLY HAVE IN TERMS OF
DRINKING WATER.
IT'LL EXTEND ONE OF THE STATE'S
STRONGEST TOOLS FOR ACHIEVING
SAFE DRINKING WATER SOME OF THE
MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES I'M
SENATOR STONE ASKED EARLIER THIS
MORNING WITH REGARD TO ANOTHER
BILL KIND OF WHY SOME OF THE
CONSOLIDATIONS.
ON HOW THEY THE CONSOLIDATION
AUTHORITY MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AS
SUCCESSFUL TODY AND THAT THIS
BILL WILL KIND OF CREATE SOME OF
THAT INCREASE STRENGTH AND
ABILITY AND FLEXIBILITY --
SO SO DEARLY NEEDED ESPECIALLY
FOR VERY SMALL SYSTEMS AND
DOMESTIC WELLS ON AND WE FREE
AYE VOTE [inaudible]
NEXT WITNESS.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS --
IT JUST.
TO ADD ON TO WHAT MY COLLEAGUE
WAS TALKING ABOUT AT THE THAT
SMALL SYSTEMS INTERESTED CLOSER
RELIEF BE.
AND THE MOST VULNERABLE TO
CHANGES IN QUANTITY AND QUALITY
AT SPD REALLY.
FOCUSED ON QUALITY ISSUES OF
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT LARGER
SYSTEMS.
A DRUGS ARE MOST LIKELY TO

I AB TWENTY FOUR SEVENTY FOUR
AUTHORIZES THE DEPARTMENT OF
TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL.
THAT AND ADOPT YOU MAIN OPTIONAL
ALTERNATIVES TO THE FUTURE.
PRODUCT TEXAS CITY TEST FOR
HAZARDOUS WASTE IDENTIFICATION.
THE TEST DTS SEE CURRENTLY USES
TO DETERMINE IF WASTE IS
HAZARDOUS TO NEW AQUATIC TO THIS
CITY.
NOTICE THE MINNOW TEST BUT IT
REQUIRES THE USE OF LIVE MINNOWS.
SO THE GOAL IS TO TO PROTECT
CALIFORNIA'S ENVIRONMENT BY
MAKING SURE TOXIC WASTE IS
HANDLED APPROPRIATELY --
I BY THE WAY.
THERE'S A LOT OF CONTROVERSY
WITH THE MINNOW TEST. FOR
EXAMPLE SOAP BECOMES TALK IS
TOXIC TO FISH.
SO DOES THAT MEAN ALL THIS JOB
WE HAVE IS TOXIC SO IT'S NOT A
PERFECT TEST BUT IT'S THE ONE WE
HAVE NOW.
THE BEYOND NOT BEING A PERFECT
TEST.
ARE COMPANIES WHO ARE COMMITTED
TO CRUELTY FREE PRACTICES CHOOSE
NOT TO USE THAT TESTED ALL.
WHICH MEANS ANYTHING THEY USE IS
STREAM DID IS HAZARDOUS WHETHER
IT'S HAZARDOUS ARE NOT.
WHICH ADDS ALL SEARCH OF COSTS --
AB TWENTY FOUR SEVENTY FOUR
PROVIDES A PATH FOR YOU MAIN AN
OPTIONAL ALTERNATIVE TO THE MEN
OUT FAST.
AND AS A RESULT LEADS TO MORE
ACCURATE HAZARDOUS WASTE
DETERMINATIONS.
SO WE'RE LOOKING AT TWO TESTS
THAT ARE USED IN EUROPE.
ARE FOR THIS PURPOSE THEY DON'T
KILL MINNOWS THEIR AND SO --
THERE USED THEIR AND THE
QUESTION IS ARE THESE AS GOOD OR
NOT AS GOOD AS THE MEN NO TEST
AND WE DON'T KNOW SO WE WERE
PASSING THIS ON TO TO TO OTHERS
TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT
IS EQUIVALENT OR BETTER.
ATTEST TO BE USED.
I HERE TODAY TO TESTIFY AND
SUPPORT IS CHRISTIE SULLIVAN
FROM THE PHYSICIANS COMMITTEE
FOR RESPONSIBLE MEDICINE.
AN EXPERT IN ONE OF THE MINNOW
TEST ALTERNATIVES.
LET'S CONTINUE WITH THIS FISH
TEST DISCUSSION NURSE WITNESS
CURRENT THANK YOU --
GOOD AFTERNOON.
AS HAS IS A SUMMER QUIRK SADDAM
A TOXICOLOGIST WITH THE
PHYSICIANS COMMITTEE FOR
RESPONSIBLE MEDICINE IN THE
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ALSO.
I WORK TO MODERNIZE TESTING
BURKE PROTOCOLS AND REGULATIONS
OF THE INTERNATIONAL AND
NATIONAL LEVEL FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN
YEARS.
IT IS IMPORTANT OBVIOUSLY TO
ENSURE THE PROPER DISPOSAL OF
HAZARDOUS WASTES.
BUT THIS THIRTY YEAR OLD TASK
KILLS HUNDREDS OF LIVE FISH ON
NECESSARILY EVERY TIME IT'S
CONDUCTED.
AND SO WE SUPPORT.
AB TWO FOUR SEVEN FOUR BECAUSE
IT OFFERS DTS SEEMED THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ASSESS ADVANCES
IN TEST METHOD DEVELOPMENT AND
TOXICOLOGY PRACTICE. TO TAKE
MORE INTELLIGENT APPROACH
TOSSING OF HAZARDOUS WASTE.
WE'VE COME A LONG WAY SINCE
NINETEEN EIGHTY FOR ITS NOW VERY
OF BEST PRACTICE IN REGULATORY
TOXICOLOGY AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
TO REDUCE TO REPLACE ANIMAL
TESTS THROUGH A TIERED APPROACH
WHERE YOU CONSIDER THE MATERIALS
TOXICITY CHARACTERISTICS AND
RESULTS FROM IN VITRO OR OTHER
ORGANISM TESTS.
BUFFY ANIMAL TESTS.
THERE ARE TWO POTENTIAL TYPES AS
WAS MENTIONED TO REPLACE THE
TEST.
THERE'S THE FISH EMBRYO TEST AND
THE DAPHNIA TALKS.
THE OTHER VERY COMMONLY USED TO
ASSESS WASTE WATER TEXAS DO
WORLDWIDE.
FANDOM.
THIS IS ARE OF A SIMILAR ITS
NEED TO ARE CONSIDERING HERE
TODAY.
THE BOTH THE DAPHNIA AND THE FE
T. TASKS ARE SIMILAR TO THE FISH
TAXED AND THAT THE FISH EMBRYOS
OR THE DAPHNIA WHICH IS AN
INVERTEBRATE AQUATIC ORGANISMS
EXPOSED TO THE TEST MATERIAL
ENOUGH FAST FOR THE FOR LEE
VALITY --
AND DAPHNE ARE ACTUALLY
CONSIDERED TO BE A BIT MORE
SENSITIVE LAND.
WHICH MAKES THE POTENTIALLY MORE
PROTECTIVE.
IN MY OPINION THE BOTH TESTS ARE
SCIENTIFICALLY APPROPRIATE AND
ARE LIKELY TO BE ADAPTABLE FOR
OUR NEEDS. TO ENSURE PROTECTION
OF AQUATIC LIFE.
AGAINST A RANGE OF VOLATILE
LIQUID AND SOLID WASTE WHILE
SAVING ANIMALS IN STATE RESOURCE.
THANK YOU NECKS.

COMPASSIONATE LEGISLATION

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I'D LIKE TO ACCEPT THE
PROPOSED COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
UNDER COMMENT TO AND COMMON
THREE ON PAGE SIX OF THE
ANALYSIS IS AN AUTHORS
AMENDMENTS.
AB TWENTY FIVE FORTY EIGHT
AUTHORIZES LA COUNTY TO ADOPT A
COMMUTER BENEFITS ORDINANCE TO
EXPAND ITS EXISTING VEHICLE FOR
PRODUCTION PROGRAMS.
ACCORDING TO TO A TWO THOUSAND
SEVENTEEN STUDY LA COUNTY IS
HOME TO THE WORST CONGESTION IN
THE WORLD.
THE STUDY THAT SURPRISE NO ONE
LA COMMUTERS SPEND OVER ONE
HUNDRED HOURS OF THEIR DURING
PEAK HOURS STUCK IN TRAFFIC.
UNIBET IF IT PROGRAMS ARE
EMPLOYER PROVIDED BENEFITS THAT
ALLOW EMPLOYEES TO REDUCE THEIR
MONTHLY COMMUNITY EXPENSES FOR
TRANSIT BIKING VANPOOLING AND
PARKING.
COMMUTERS WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY
TO SET ASIDE A PORTION OF THEIR
PAYCHECK PRETAX TO COVER THE
COST OF RIDE SHARING VAN PULLS
TRANSIT PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE
MODES.
THE GOAL OF THE COMMUTER BENEFIT
PROGRAM FOR LA COUNTY WOULD BE
TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS REDUCE TRAFFIC
CONGESTION AND INCREASE TRANSIT
RIDERSHIP.
THIS PROGRAM DOES NOT CONFLICT
WITH ANY SIMILAR PROGRAM
REQUIRED BY SOUTH SOUTH COAST
AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT
RULE OR REGULATION.
WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF AB. TWENTY FIVE FORTY

GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE I'M DESIREE JONES

ANGELES COUNTY METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY.
METRO WOULD LIKE TO THANK
ASSEMBLYMEMBER FRIEDMAN FOR HER
AUTHORSHIP OF THIS VERY
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION WOULD ALSO
LIKE TO THANK THE COMMITTEE
STAFF FOR THEIR WORK ON THE BILL
AS WELL.
METRO OPERATES THE THIRD LARGEST
TRANSIT AGENCY IN THE NATION
WITH OVER A MILLION BOARDINGS
PER DAY.
OUR CHARGE IS ONE OF THE LARGEST
TRANSIT AGENCIES IN THE COUNTRY
IS TO CARRY OUT THE STATE'S AND
THE REGION'S COMMITMENT TO
CLEANER AIR AND REDUCING
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.
A COUNTY WIDE COMMUTER BENEFITS
ORDINANCES AN IMPORTANT STRATEGY
THAT WILL HELP US TO WORK WITH
OVER.
SEE THOUSAND EMPLOYERS IN LA
COUNTY TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS RELIEVE TRAFFIC
CONGESTION WHILE INCREASING AND
INCENTIVIZING TRANSIT RIDERSHIP.
UNDER THIS MEASURE WE'RE
EXPANDING THE POOL OF EMPLOYERS
THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO OFFER
A COMMUTER BENEFITS PROGRAM TO
THEIR EMPLOYEES.
PRE TAX BENEFIT OPTION AS
OUTLINED IN THE BILL IS A LOW
COST AND POPULAR OPTION FOR
EMPLOYERS.
WE THINK THIS IS A STRONG
INCENTIVE FOR BOTH EMPLOYERS AND
EMPLOYEES AND IT'S BEEN KEY IN
THE BAY AREA IN THE SUCCESS OF
THEIR GROWING PROGRAM BEAT THE
82% FROM MTC.
WE WILL TRY --
WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY
WITH THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY ON
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS MEASURE
AND WITH THERE'S STRONG SUPPORT

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS TODAY I AM PROUD 2% AB.
TWENTY SEVEN EIGHTY TWO LET'S
TALK ABOUT WHAT THE BILL DOES
NOT DO.
DOES NOT EXEMPT CHANGER HINDER
SEQUIN ANYWAY.
DOES NOT EXEMPT DOES NOT CHANGED
IS NOT HINDER SECRET ANYWAY AND
SAID IT WORKS TO HIGHLIGHT THE
POSITIVE IMPACTS OF THE PROJECTS
IN THE DESCRIPTION AND FINAL
VALUATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL
REVIEW.
I WAS IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT FOR
MANY YEARS I'M VERY FAMILIAR
WITH SECRET DOCUMENTS I'M VERY
FAMILIAR WITH HOW WHEN SECRET
DOCUMENTS --
ARE PRESENTED THEY OFTEN
APPEALED PEER TO COMMUNITIES AND
DECISION MAKERS AS A WHOLE
SERIES OF BAD THINGS THAT HAPPEN
IF SOMETHING IS BILL.
THIS SEEKS TO BALANCE OUT A
LITTLE BIT WITH STATEMENT WITH
ANALYSIS OF THE BEGINNING AND
STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONCERNS
TO GIVE A MORE HOLISTIC VIEW OF
A PROJECT IF THAT'S WHAT THE
LEAD AGENT.
MY TO DO --
RIGHT NOW NOT EVERY
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW INCLUDES A
STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING
CONSIDERATIONS AND THIS ALLOWS
BUT DOES NOT REQUIRE THE LEAD
AGENCY TO CONSIDER THE SPECIFIC
ECONOMIC LEGAL SOCIAL
TECHNOLOGICAL AND OTHER BENEFITS.
AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION AND
FINAL EVALUATION OF EVERY
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW THIS IS
JUST MAKING A BETTER POLICY
MAKING DOCUMENT IT'S JUST GIVING
SOME BALANCE. TO THE COMMUNITIES
WHEN THEY REVIEW THESE WHO DON'T
HAVE THE SAME CONTACTS AND OF
THE DECISION MAKERS --
IT HAS RECEIVED BIPARTISAN VERY
BROAD SUPPORT IN THE ASSEMBLY --
NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE AND
ON THE ASSEMBLY FLOOR IT'S ONLY
HAD ONE NO VOTE ON THE ENTIRE
TIME --
AGAIN EXEMPTION OF THE COURT
DOES NOT ADD NEW LANGUAGE THE
SECRET HAS NO OPPOSITION.
THIS IDEA IS AN IDEA IT WAS NOT
A SPONSOR VILLAGES CAME TO ME
FROM SITTING IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT
FOR YEARS AND BEING FRUSTRATED
BY SECRET DOCUMENTS THAT WOULD
BE WAIVED AROUND BY COMMUNITIES
WHERE IT WAS REALLY HARD FOR
THEM TO GET A REAL UNDERSTANDING.
OF WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T
BUILD THE PROJECT THAT THAT ALSO
HAS NEGATIVE EFFECTS
PARTICULARLY WITH THINGS LIKE
INFILL ON HOUSING PROJECTS.
I'VE WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH
THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF
PLANNING AND RESEARCH WHO
PROVIDED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE US
TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION WHO ALSO PROVIDED
ASSISTANCE AS THE BILL MOVE
FORWARD --
IT'S A VERY SIMPLE ADDITION TO
HOLLOW BILL CAN BE DESCRIBED
I'VE HEARD FROM MANY BUT I'M
MEMBERS MANY DEVELOPERS
ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS EVERYONE
SEEMS TO AGREE THAT THIS IS A
GOOD CHANGE TO THE WAY THE
DOCUMENTS ARE PRESENTED WE'VE
HAD NO ONE SAY TO US.
THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH
THIS EVERYBODY'S BEEN SUPER
POSITIVE AND WITH ME HERE TODAY
ARE SOME SUPER POSITIVE
SUPPORTERS.
I'M SILVIO FERRARI REPRESENTING
THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION JELLY GABORIK WITH
THE A CALIFORNIA SO SHE NEVER
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS AND ADAM
REGULARLY WITH THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE [inaudible]
WELL LET'S.
START THE PARADE OF SUPER
ENTHUSIASTIC BECAUSE SUPPORTERS.
BUT AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS CASSIE GILSON SITTING IN
FOR SYLVIA ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA BUILDING INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION.
A VERY PLEASED TO BE HERE A IN
SUPPORT OF WHAT IS BY FAR THE
SIMPLEST SECRET DEL THAT YOU
WILL HEAR TODAY.
AND THE AUTHOR DID AN EXCELLENT
JOB OF PRETTY OF PRESENTING IT
AND IT'S A FEW LINES IT SIMPLY
SAYS THAT A LOCAL GOVERNMENT MY
CONSIDER.
THE BENEFITS OF A PROJECT AS
THEY HAVE THE SEQUEL.
DISCUSSION SECRET STARTED OUT
REALLY AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL
DISCUSSION BUT THAT PROCESS HAS
BECOME REALLY THE WAY IN WHICH
COMMUNITIES CONSIDER PROJECTS
MORE GENERALLY TO THIS IS
APPROPRIATE TO RAISE BOTH THE
PROS AND THE CONS OF APPROVING A
PROJECT IN AND ALSO DENYING THE
PROJECT.
I'M FOR HOUSING IN PARTICULAR --
YOU KNOW THAT IF WE DON'T
APPROVE THE KIND OF INFILL AND
TRANSPORT AND DEVELOPMENT --
THAT IS SO NEEDED TO MEET OUR
ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE GOALS
AND THAT'S GOING TO BE
CHALLENGING AND SO TO OVERCOME
SOME OF THE NUBIAN OTHER
DYNAMICS IMPORTANT THAT THOSE
FACTS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS
PROJECT IS DISAPPROVED.
COME OUT IN THE CONVERSATION
IT'S ENTIRELY PERMISSIVE I'M AT
THE DISCRETION OF THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT TO CONSIDER THOSE
THINGS AND I THINK THAT HELPS
PUT A LEGISLATIVE IMPRIMATUR
INDEED STATUTORY IMPRIMATUR ON
IT.
THAT THEY OUGHT TO CONSIDER
DOING THAT IN THE PROP
[inaudible]
MAX.
OF THIS ADAM RIDLEY ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE OF THE PRIDE IN THE
THREE PEOPLE TO TESTIFY FOR
THREE LINES OF NEW --
US STATUTORY LANGUAGE BUT WE ARE
IN SUPPORT THIS BILL BECAUSE
IT'S VERY SIMPLE AND TO
COMMONSENSE --
SEQUEL REFORM THAT BASICALLY --
ALLOWS THE LOCAL LEAD AGENCY TO
PROJECT AND I'M CURRENTLY UNDER
SEQUEL --
THIS DOESN'T CHANGE ANY OF THE
LANGUAGE OR CONTEMPLATION WHAT
YOU ALREADY CONSIDERS THERE'S A
STATEMENT ALREADY CONSIDERATIONS
BUT THAT'S GENERALLY AT THE END
OF THE PROCESS THIS ALLOWS FOR A
LEAD AGENCY TO CONSIDER --
THE TECHNOLOGICAL AND PROJECT
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE ER
DOCUMENT NOT JUST --
IN A STATE OF OVERRIDING
CONSIDERATION AND NOT JUST IN A
PROJECT DESCRIPTION WHICH BY ITS
VERY NATURE IS GENERALLY VERY
BRIEF --
CITIES THIS WILL BLOW OUT --
ALL THE CHAPTERS WITH THE FULL
PROS AND CONS ANALYSIS IF LEAD
TO SEE -- TO
CHOOSE TO DO SO THANK YOU.
YELEY COVERED WITH THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS WE ARE ALSO IN SUPPORT
OF THIS MEASURE AND WE THINK
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THIS
DOES THIS PROVISION DOES GO INTO
STATUTE BECAUSE IT TRULY DOES
UNDERSCORE THE IMPORTANCE OF
LOOKING AT THE DENIAL.
OF PROJECTS IN THE CUMULATIVE
DENIAL OF PROJECTS THROUGHOUT
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS THE
REASON WHY WERE IN OUR HOUSING
CRISIS TODAY.
AND THE REASON WHY WE HAVE
PEOPLE SUPER COMMUTING WHEN THEY
SHOULDN'T BE IT ALWAYS ENDS UP
THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SUPER
COMMUTING ARE THE ONES THAT CAN
LEAST AFFORD TO DO SO.
SO WE REALLY DO NEED TO CONSIDER
NOT BUILDING AND HOW THAT
IMPACTS OUR ENVIRONMENT AND OUR
FAMILIES.
LET THAT GO AND LET'S HAVE A
OTHERS IN SUPPORT OF TWENTY FIVE
SEVEN EIGHTY TWO GOOD EVENING
CHAIR MEMBERS SO IT'S INBAD AND
AT LAKE HOUSE PUBLIC AFFAIRS
HERE ON BEHALF OF CALIFORNIA YOU
BE IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL THANK
YOU [inaudible]
OTHERS IN.
OPPOSITION IS OUR OPPOSITION
HERE.
TO TWENTY SEVEN EIGHTY TWO CLOSE
PUBLIC HEARING.
CENTER STOP THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR --
SOMEONE FRIEDMAN THAT IT'S A
VERY REFRESHING BILL AND THINGS
CAN PROVIDE SOME --
ACTUALLY --
RELATED WELL MADAM THAT THE
WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE SOME
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN INFILL
PROJECTS AND WHILE THERE'S
ALWAYS A LOT OF ISSUES THAT --
CAN CAN CONTAIN A ENVIRONMENTAL
REVIEW AND FAVOR ABOUT BUILDING
MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING OF THE
SEARCH ARAMBULA BUT A BALANCE.
AND I'M HAPPY WITH THE BILL
[inaudible]
OKAY [inaudible]
THERE'S CENTER STERN.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR --
I GET A LITTLE CLARIFICATION
APPRECIATE THE OPENING STATEMENT
WHAT THE BILL DOESN'T DO.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT SO IN A IS
GUILTY SAID THIS OVERCOMES
NIMBIS I'M ACTUALLY I'M NOT AS
INTERESTED IN OVERCOMING OR
PUSHING NIMBIS OUT OF THE
PROCESS ACTUALLY WE THINK
EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A VOICE IN
THE PROCESS WITH IT.
FROM WHATEVER PERSPECTIVE YOU
COME FROM.
AT I WOULD LOVE MORE OF A
TECHNICAL QUESTION THOUGH DAY
HOPING YOU GUYS COULD HELP ME
WITH SO.
THE THE RECENT MEN'S THAT YOU
TOOK BEFORE CAME IN A COMMITTEE
A LOOKING AT THE NEGATIVE
IMPACTS OF DENYING PROJECTS
THOSE SORT OF TRYING TO ADD MORE.
DETAIL INTO WHAT A NO BUILDER NO
PROJECT ALTERNATIVE MIGHT BE.
YOU ANTICIPATE THAT --
INCLUDING A SORT OF EITHER A
GREENHOUSE GAS IMPACT OR OF THE
M. T. IMPACT ANALYSIS AND IF SO
HOW HOW DO YOU.
HOW DO YOU TRANSLATE THAT INTO A
MEANINGFUL SCOPE I KNOW WE WE
SIR TALKED ABOUT THIS ISSUE
RIGHTS OF YOUR DON'T SAY YOU'RE?
YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE NEGATIVE
IMPACTS OF OF NOT BUILDING AN
INFILL PROJECT.
HE SAID WELL THERE'S GOING TO BE
GOING TO PUSH TRAFFIC MAYBE NOT
THERE THERE'S ANY MORE TRAFFIC
RIGHT AROUND THE INFILL PROJECT
BUT THERE WILL BE --
THERE'D BE LESS TRAFFIC MAYBE
OVERALL IF YOU BUILT THAT INFILL
BUT IF IF WITH IT THAT NO BUILD
ALTERNATIVE.
THAT TRAFFIC IMPACT WOULDN'T
REALLY BE LOCALIZED AROUND THE
PROJECT RIGHT IT WOULD BE THAT
THE WHOLE REGION STARTS TO
SPRAWL OUT YOUR DRIVING FURTHER
SO.
IS THERE I MEAN IS IS THERE
GOING TO BE A QUANTITATIVE
IMPACT ON THE MITIGATION
REQUIREMENTS YOU THINK INSERTED
IN LESSENING THE MITIGATION
REQUIREMENTS ARE PROJECTS.
IN UNDER THIS BILL.
ISN'T REALLY CHANGING --
ANY OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF HOW
THE DOCUMENT WOULD ANALYZE THAT
WHAT IT'S DOING IS IT'S ALLOWING.
THE NO BUILD.
ALTERNATIVE TO BE FLESHED OUT
AND SORT OF SPREAD AROUND THE
DOCUMENT A LITTLE MORE SO THAT
WHEN YOU'RE PRESENTING.
THE SECTION THAT SAYS THIS
PROJECT GOING TO INCREASE.
FIVE HUNDRED TROOPS TODAY.
YOU'LL BE ABLE TO THEN DO
EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID IF YOU'RE
A LEAD AGENCY AND SAY WHAT THAT
THAT IF YOU DON'T BUILD IT YOU
ADD A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF LONGER
TRIPS PERHAPS TRAFFIC THROUGH
THE AREA.
SO THAT THAT WHICH RIGHT NOW
AT THE END OF A DOCUMENT SOME OF
THE CAN BE FIVE HUNDRED PAGES
AND AND ALSO IT SOMETIMES IT'S
IT'S NOT EVEN REALLY DONE
SOMETIMES THEY JUST SAY OR YOUR
ALTERNATIVE IS NOT TO BUILD IT
BUT SOMETIMES THEY IN THE
PREPARATION THEY DON'T EVEN.
MENTION THAT NOW ALL THESE
PEOPLE TO BE BUILDING SOMEWHERE
ELSE POTENTIALLY BECAUSE THERE'S
NO OTHER HERE.
AND WHAT THAT WOULD BE AND AND
AND WAS REALLY MY FRUSTRATION OF
UNDERSTANDING THAT WHEN WE WOULD
APPROVE HELPING PROJECTS BUT
SEEING THAT NO REFLECTED IN THE
SECRET DOCUMENT.
THAT LED ME TO WANTING TO DO
THIS DUDE DO YOU THINK WE HAVE.
THE TOOLS RIGHT NOW TO DO THE
KIND OF MODELING WE NEED TO
ACTUALLY GET AN ACCURATE.
ANALYSIS FOR THESE KIND OF
PROJECTS OF WHAT.
OF WHAT'S SAY OF VMT YEAR GHG
IMPACT WOULD BE OF A NO BUILD
ALTERNATIVE I MEAN IS IT.
ARE WE MISSING DO WE HAVE THE
TECHNICAL TOOLS TO BILL
ACCOMPLISH THAT.
WAY RIGHT NOW.
THE I OR CHAMBER SO I WOULD JUST
SAY THAT I WOULD IMAGINE THAT IF
THIS BILL IS IMPLEMENTED THE
BEGINNING DISCUSSIONS WOULD TALK
REGIONALLY SO YOU KNOW WE HAVE
THE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY
STRATEGIES.
AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ALLOCATIONS
AND SO THERE WOULD BE A
DISCUSSION ABOUT YOU KNOW FOR
EXAMPLE THERE WAS A HOUSING
PROJECT THAT THEY WEAR WERE
DISAPPROVING IN AN AREA THAT THE
GENERAL PLANET SUSTAINABLE
COMMUNITY STRATEGIES.
HAD OUTLINED FOR HOUSING AND IT
WOULD ALLOW AGAIN PERMISSIVE NOT
NECESSARY BUT AT THE DISCRETION
OF THE LEAD AGENCY TO TALK ABOUT
OKAY SO IF WERE GONNA DENY
HOUSING THAT'S BEEN OUTLINED IN
THE GENERAL PLAN IN THE
SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY STRATEGIES.
IN THIS AREA LET'S HAVE A
DISCUSSION ABOUT.
ORDER TO MEET THE GOALS THAT IN
FACT RELY UPON US BUILDING
HOUSING IN PRECISELY THESE
LOCATIONS AND AND TO YOUR
EARLIER COMMENT IT IN NO WAY
TAKES A VOICE AWAY FROM ANYONE.
I'M YOU KNOW I RAISED THAT THE
NEWBIE ISSUE EVERYONE WILL BE
ABLE TO TO SPEAK TO THE REASONS
WHY THEY MIGHT OPPOSE THE
PROJECT IT JUST ALLOWS THE THE
LEAD AGENCY. TO ALSO HAVE A
CONVERSATION THAT I JUST ALLUDED
TO WHICH IS IF WE DON'T BUILD
THIS KIND OF INFILL UNTIL THE
HOUSING IN THESE AREAS WHERE
WE'VE IDENTIFIED WE NEED.
TO WE AS A AS A LOCAL COMMUNITY
AND AS A REGION NEED TO BE
COGNIZANT OF THAT --
OR ELSE FOR WILL COMPROMISE OUR
LARGER GOALS WHICH WE'VE ALREADY
ALL BODY.
TO IF I MAY BAD SENATOR STARTED
A SEQUEL REQUIRES A NO PROJECT
ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS WHICH
GENTLY FOR ANY I ARE A COUPLE
HUNDRED PAGES COULD BE AS LONG
AS ONE PAGE AND SO --
THIS BILL REALLY ALLOWS THE LEAD
AGENCY TO EXPAND UPON WHAT WHAT
THE ALTERNATIVE TO NOT BILL IN
THE PROJECT IS RATHER THAN THIS
ONE PAGE TRUNCATED ANALYSIS FOR
ALL THE RESOURCE AREAS UNDER
SEQUEL.
AND I I IS I READ IT THE SAYS
IT'S THE BENEFITS WANTING.
ENVIRONMENT CONSEQUENCES SO IT'S
SELECT NEUTRAL IN THERE.
WHO HAS EVER PROPOSING IN AND
OUT OF I'M SORRY LOTUS I'D ONE
THING I'M I'M A SUPPORTER OF
SEQUEL AND I DEFEND SEQUEL? TO
ME THIS IS ABOUT MAKING THAT
SUPER PROCESS MORE VALUABLE BY
PROVIDING A MORE HOLISTIC VIEW
OF THE OF THE PROJECT SO I THINK
THAT THIS IS AN IMPROVEMENT OF
SEQUEL IT'S NOT TRY ATTEMPTING
TO UNDERMINE IT ALL IT'S
ACTUALLY TRYING TO SAY IF.
IT WERE WITH WE ARE DOING SEQUEL.
TO INFORM POLICYMAKERS AND TO
INFORM COMMUNITIES WE KNOW WE
HAVE THIS DEFICIENCY IN THE WAY
THESE ARE WRITTEN I KNOW IT FROM
HAVING SPENT SEVEN YEARS ON A
CITY COUNCIL WATCHING THESE
DOCUMENTS BE PREPARED IN BEING
FRUSTRATED THAT THEY'RE NOT
GIVING THE FULL PICTURE.
AND SO THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO
ATTACK SHIRLEY STRENGTHEN YOU
KNOW AND AND TO STRENGTHEN THAT
DECISION MAKING PROCESS THROUGH
SEQUEL.
SLATED PATRICIA CLOSE YES SIR

STRATEGIES TO REDUCE EMISSIONS
FROM SPACE HEATING AND WATER
HEATING AND BOTH NEW AND
EXISTING RESIDENTIAL AND
COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT POTENTIAL
IMPACTS ON CUSTOMER COSTS AND
GRID TO WHAT I BELIEVE.
IT REQUIRES A CC TO CONSIDER THE
UNIQUE CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED
WITH LOW INCOME HOUSING MULTI
FAMILY HOUSING AND HIGH RISE
BUILDINGS.
IT ALSO REQUIRES A CC TO ACCOUNT
FOR THE IMPACTS FROM THE NEW
REQUIREMENT FOR ALL SINGLE

MUCH OF MISTER CHAIR AND
SENATORS SO.
I LIKE TO START BY ACCEPTING AS
AUTHORS AND THEN IN THE
AMENDMENTS THE LISTED ON PAGES
THREE AND FOUR OF THE ANALYSIS
THEN MOVE THE PROVISIONS OF THE
BILL.
TO HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE
SECTION.
THREE NINE SIX OH SEVEN THIS
BILL AB TWENTY ONE NINETY FIVE
WOULD REQUIRE THE CALIFORNIA AIR
RESOURCES BOARD. TO QUANTIFY THE
AMOUNT OF GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH ALL
THE LEAKAGE OF GAS A TO THE
ATMOSPHERE DURING THE PRODUCTION
AND PROCESSING AND TRANSPORT OF
OUR NATURAL GAS THAT IS IMPORTED
INTO THE STATE FROM OUT OF STATE --
SOURCES CALIFORNIA AND PERCENT
OF THE NATURAL GAS THAT IS USED
IN THE STATE.
METHANE A PRIMARY COMPONENT OF
NATURAL GAS IS A IN FACT EIGHTY
FOUR ARE EIGHTY FOUR TIMES MORE
POTENT THAN CARBON DIOXIDE.
AT TRAPPING HEAT OVER THE COURSE
OF ITS FIRST TWENTY YEARS IN THE
ATMOSPHERE.
LEADING TO SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACTS --
IF A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS IS LOST
INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.
NOT QUITE CLEARLY ONLY
CALCULATES IN STATE NATURAL GAS
SO COMBUSTION IS AND LEAKAGE
EVEN THOUGH IN STATE USES
RESPONSIBLE FOR SIGNIFICANT
POLLUTION.
OUTSIDE THE STATE ACCORDINGLY A
MILLIONS OF TONS OF GHG BY
POLLUTION GOAL AND OUR UNC AND
THE UNCOUNTED FOR EVERY YEAR.
AS A RESULT THE TRUE
ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT OF
CALIFORNIA NATURAL GAS USE IS
HIDDEN FROM THE STATE'S
INVENTORY CONSUMERS AND ALSO
POLICY MAKERS.
OF THIS BILL AB TWENTY ONE
NINETY FIVE WILL HELP THE STATE
TO ACCURATELY CALCULATE THAT GHG
EMISSIONS SO THAT OF THE PUBLIC
AND POLICYMAKERS CAN UNDERSTAND
THE SCOPE OF THE LEAKAGE.
RELATED TO THE USE OF NATURAL
GAS A WITHOUT I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR A AYE VOTE IN THE RETURN
OVER TO MY WITNESS.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MARK
FENCE TO MAKE FROM HALF THE
ENVIRONMENT DEFENSE FUND SPONSOR
OF AB.
TWENTY ONE NINETY FIVE THINK OUT
MR CHOW LAID OUT THE IMPORTANCE
OF THIS BILL WHEN IT COMES TO
THE POTENCY OF METHANE FROM OUR
IMPORTS OF NATURAL GAS.
BY INTERNAL CALCULATIONS BY EDF
SCIENTISTS FOR A ILLUSTRATIVE
PURPOSES ONLY HAVE FOUND THAT IF
JUST TWO POINT 4% OF THE GAS
THAT WE IMPORT WAS LEAKED THAT
WOULD BE EQUIVALENT TO EIGHTEEN
COAL FIRED POWER PLANTS RUNNING
YEAR ROUND SO THIS IS A SERIOUS
EMISSIONS SOURCE.
AND WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE
FULL POTENTIAL OF OUR IMPORTS OF
NATURAL GAS.
ARE THE ANALYSIS POINTS OUT VERY
ACCURATELY THAT ARE UNDER AB
FOURTEEN NINETY SIX BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBERS THURMAN FROM A
COUPLE YEARS AGO THERE IS A LIFE
CYCLE ACCOUNTING.
FOR NATURAL GAS IMPORTS BUT WHAT
IT IS NOT DO IS PUT IT IN A
PUBLIC FORUM SO THAT THE PUBLIC
CAN UNDERSTAND IN AND SEE THIS
DATA AS WELL AS IT DOES NOT
AGGREGATE ALL OF THE EMISSIONS
AND EMISSIONS DATA FROM SO. FOR
THOSE REASONS WE THINK THIS BILL
IS VALUABLE AND WE ASK
RESPECTFULLY ASK HER ABOUT.
OTHERS IN SUPPORT OF OUR AB.
TWENTY ONE NINETY FIVE PLEASE
COME FORWARD.

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR --
THEY SIMMER FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD --
BEEN IN THE DARK A BIT ON THESE
NUMBERS FOR TOO LONG NOW SO.
WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE
MEASURE IF YOU ARE YOU TAKING
THE AMENDMENTS BY THE WAY YOU
THINK YES HAVE SO AND SO WHEN
YOU DO I'D LOVE TO BE ADDED ON
AS A CO AUTHOR AT THE
APPROPRIATE TIME HAPPILY I I DID
WANT TO KNOW.
THE IS THIS JUST FOR JUST ON THE
IMPORT SIDE.
NOW HE'S JUST IS THIS JUST POR
ADDED STATES R YES THIRD THE
INVENTORY ALREADY CLUED IN STATE
EMISSIONS AND IS THE INVENTORY
ALSO INCLUDE FUGITIVE EMISSIONS
IN STATE [inaudible]
ARE.
I'M NOT TOTALLY SURE OF THE I
BELIEVE SO BUT HAVE TO DOUBLE
CHECK AND FOLLOW UP WITH YOU ON
THAT BUT I DO BELIEVE IT DOES
INCLUDE THAT.
NOT JUST THINK YOU KNOW I JUST
THOUGHT LISA CANYON I DON'T WELL

SO I MEAN THERE'S OR OR ALL THE
LEAKS GOING ON AROUND THE STATE
BIG AND SMALL LISA WAS THE BIG
ONE BUT THEY'RE SMALL ONES TO
AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THE
ELISEO MISSIONS HAVE BEEN
EXCLUDED FROM THE INVENTORY SO
WE STILL AREN'T ACTUALLY
INCLUDING THAT.
I I DON'T WANT TO IMPOSE THAT ON
THIS BUT I'M JUST I SORT OF WANT
TO GET THE LAY OF THE LAND FOR
THE LAW ITSELF AND WHETHER WE'RE
STILL GONNA BE.
EVEN IF THIS BECAME LAW ARE WE
STILL GOING TO BE MISSING THAT
INFORMATION ABOUT.
IN STATE LEAKS.
FUGITIVE OR OTHERWISE.
I LET ME DOUBLE CHECK ON THAT
CENTER I'D I'D.
OKAY WOULD HAVE TO EITHER WAY

LATE ON THE NIGHT OF OCTOBER
EIGHTH LAST YEAR THE TUBS FIRE
BEGAN IN THE DEADLY MARCH ITS
DEADLY MARCH FROM NEAR CALISTOGA
TO SUBURBAN CENTER ROSA AND
WESTON FOR HOURS THE FIRE ROARED
THROUGH TWELVE MILES.
JUMPED HIGHWAY ONE TO ONE AND
DESTROYED THOUSANDS OF MY
CONSTITUENTS IN NEIGHBORS HOMES.
BEFORE THE FLAMES WERE FINALLY
EXTINGUISHED --
WEEKS LATER MORE THAN FIVE
THOUSAND HOMES WERE LOST
INCLUDING MORE THAN THREE
THOUSAND HOMES IN THE CITY OF
SANTA ROSA ALONE.
THAT REPRESENTS MORE THAN 5% OF
THE HOMES ACROSS THE CITY.
THE TOUGHEST PART WAS BY FAR THE
MOST COSTLY FIRE IN THE STATE'S
HISTORY.
I'M SURE YOU ALL KNOW OUR ALL
HAVE SEEN THE STRIKING IMAGES OF
NOT JUST BURNED OUT MOUNTAINTOP
HOMES BUT ENTIRE SUBURBAN
NEIGHBORHOODS REDUCED TO RUBBLE.
THE NORTH BAY FIRESTONE OF STORM.
FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGE THE MAKEUP
OF THE REGION AND THE RECOVERY
PROCESS DEMANDS INNOVATION AND
COOPERATION.
AND THE AFTERMATH OF THIS
TRAGEDY THE DATA SUGGEST THAT
UNLESS THE REGION CAN REPLACE
THESE HOMES AND EXPAND THE
SUPPLY OF HOUSING IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF YEARS.
WE WILL LOSE RESIDENTS
BUSINESSES AND HUGE PIECES OF
OUR COMMUNITY FOR EVER.
IN RESPONSE THE CITY OF SANTA
ROSA AND CINEMA COUNTY HAVE WORK
CLOSELY TOGETHER WITH THE LOCAL
ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS TO DESIGN A
CLIMATE SMART PLAN TO DEAL WITH
THE SUDDEN LOSS OF HOUSING.
AN IMPENDING ECONOMIC CRISIS.
A PLAN PROPOSES TO INCREASE
INFILL DENSITY TO PROVIDE
CRITICAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEAR
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
AB TWENTY TWO SIXTY SEVEN WOULD
ALLOW THE CITY TO AMEND ITS
DOWNTOWN STATION AREA SPECIFIC
PLAN WHICH CURRENTLY DOES ALLOW
BUILDINGS OVER TEN STORIES HIGH.
TO PERMIT INCREASED DENSITY
REDUCE PER.
AND MORE DENSE AND DIVERSE
HOUSING.
SINCE THIS BILL WANTED TO PRINT
THE SPOT WITH THIS THE SPONSORS
AND MY OFFICE OF CONTINUED
WORKING WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL
STAKEHOLDERS TO NARROW THIS
PROPOSAL AND THE BILL NOW ENJOYS
UNPRECEDENTED SUPPORT FROM OUR
LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY.
IT IS UNFORTUNATE WE HAVE NOT
BEEN ABLE TO WORK THROUGH SOME
OF THE LANGUAGE.

CLOSE TO CALIFORNIA'S NEWEST
COMMUTER RAIL PROJECT THE SMART
TRAIN.
BUT CENTER RESIDENTS KNOW MY
COUNTY RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN A
SERIOUS PREDICAMENT.
LIKE MANY CALIFORNIA CITIES WE
HAVE A CRITICAL HOUSING SHORTAGE
AND WE ARE WHEN THE OCTOBER
FIRESTORMS CAME LAST YEAR WE
LOST MORE THAN FIVE THOUSAND
HOMES.
THE IMPACT OF THAT FIRE GOES
BEYOND THE FIRE DAMAGE TO THOSE
FIVE THOUSAND HOMES IT'S
EXPONENTIAL.
AS FAMILIES DISPLACED BY THE
FIRE SOUGHT OTHER HOMES THEY
BUMPED OUT RENTERS.
NAY OUTBID OTHER BUYERS OUR
ALREADY TIGHT MARKET.
BUSINESSES NOW ARE LOSING
EMPLOYEES.
OUR SCHOOL IN WROTE ROMAN IN
SANTA ROSA DROPPED BY MORE THAN
FOUR HUNDRED STUDENTS IN LAST
SEMESTER.
RENTS ARE GOING THROUGH THE ROOF.
EARLIER TODAY YOU HEARD FROM
CITIES HOPING TO AVOID LOSING
THEIR SPORTS TEAMS.
IN SANTA ROSA WE ARE LOSING LIFE
BLOOD OF OUR COMMUNITY THE
RESIDENTS WHO LIVE THERE.
I THE PEOPLE WHO WHO WORK IN OUR
SERVICE INDUSTRY OF PEOPLE
WORKING OUR SCHOOLS PEOPLE WHO
WORK FOR CITY GOVERNMENT ARE
LEAVING.
WE'RE TRYING TO HOLD ON TO OUR
RESIDENTS [inaudible]
AND WE'RE TRYING TO DO THAT BY
CREATING MORE HOUSING NOT JUST
REPLACE IN THE FIVE THOUSAND
UNITS THAT WERE LOST.
WE CREATE MORE HOUSING WE'RE
TRYING TO DO IT QUICKLY BUT WE
ALSO WANT TO DO IT RESPONSIBLY.
OUR PLAN IS TO FULLY COMPLY WITH
C. QUIRK AND TO BUILD THE KIND
HOUSING THAT ENVIRONMENTALISTS
ALL OF US SAY THAT WE WANT.
DENSITY INFILL TRANSIT ORIENTED
ZERO NET ENERGY AND WITH A
SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT OF
AFFORDABILITY.
SO WE'RE ASKING FOR VERY NARROW
SEQUEL RELIEF. FOR LIMITED
PERIOD OF TIME FOR SPECIFIC
DOWNTOWN AREAS IN A TRANSIT

REBUILDING A DISASTER STRICKEN
COMMUNITY LIKE SANTA ROSA.
ITEM IS ONE OF THIS KIND OF
EXTREME CASES WHERE DOES WARRANT

LOCAL AGENCIES KNOW ADVOCATE AND
AUTHOR. TO TRY TO GET.

ON OPPOSITION. TWO I AB
[inaudible]
TWENTY TO SIXTY SEVEN SOME
INVESTIGATIVE.
BACK TO SOMEBODY'S.
GOOD EVENING CHAIR MEMBERS STAND
POUND FOR THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL
REGRETFULLY WE ARE HERE IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL.
OUR TESTIMONY WILL BE BRIEF
YOU'VE HEARD.
YOU'VE ALL HEARD ME TESTIFY ON
MULTIPLE BILLS THAT HAVE THE
SECRET EXPEDITED JUDICIAL REVIEW
PROVISIONS.
THE TESTIMONY IS LIMITED TO THE
COURT IMPACTS THE IMPACT TO THE
COURT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THE
IMPACTS TO OTHER LITIGANTS.
THAT THE SUPER ACCELERATE
JUDICIAL REVIEW PROVIDES WE DO
NOT.
TAKE ANY POSITION WE CERTAINLY
VERY SYMPATHETIC WITH THE
TRAGEDY THAT OCCURRED --
AND WE'RE NOT MAKING ANY
COMMENTS ABOUT THAT OUR POSITION
IS NOT.
I'M BASED IN ANY WAY OR TO
DIMINISH --
THE TRAGEDY THERE SO I WILL
FOCUS VERY SPECIFICALLY ON WHAT
OUR PRINCIPAL CONCERNS ARE
[inaudible]
THEM.
IRONICALLY IN THIS CASE.
M. IN CINEMA COUNTY FOR THE
CASES THAT ARE BEING LITIGATED
BY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE SUFFERED.
FIRE DAMAGE IN THEIR CASES.
I IN THEIR IN IN THEIR
INDIVIDUAL AND TO JEWISH OF
THOSE CASES DO NOT GET THE SUPER
EXHILARATED.
JUDICIAL REVIEW THAT THIS BILL
WOULD PROVIDE --
FOR LITIGATION AGAINST THE
PARTICULAR PLAN THAT WOULD BE.
COVERED AND IT'S THAT SAME
CONCERN FOR ALL OTHER LITIGANTS
WHO A VERY IMPORTANT CASES THAT
COME BEFORE A COURT.
THAT WE ARE CHARGED WITH
PROVIDING EQUAL ACCESS TO
JUSTICE TO IN EVERY CASE.
THIS SAYS TO THOSE LITIGANTS
SORRY.
WE KNOW YOUR CASE IS IMPORTANT
BUT WE'VE GOT TO PRIORITIZE AND
PUT OUR RESOURCES PRIMARILY IN
THIS PARTICULAR.
CATEGORY IT.
AND AND THAT IS INEVITABLY GOING
TO SOME CASES.
MOVING FURTHER BACK IN HAVING
SOME DELAY.
AND IT'S FOR THAT REASON THAT
THE COUNCIL HAS BEEN ON RECORD
AS YOU KNOW.
IN OPPOSITION TO THE THIRTY FOUR
BILLS INCLUDING THIS BILL TODAY.
THAT HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED SINCE
TWENTY ELEVEN THAT HAVE GONE
DOWN THAT ROAD THE FINAL THING
THAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT.
WHEN MY DEAR FRIEND ARE FORMER
PRO TEM DARRELL STEINBERG
TESTIFIED A IN THIS COMMITTEE?
A AND I TESTIFYING ON THE OTHER
SIDE ON M. S. B. SEVEN THIRTY
FOR THE KINGS ARENA BILL.
M. WHEN I MADE ALL OF THE POINTS
ON BEHALF OF THE COUNCIL.
ON THE PRO TEMPORE SPONSOR WAS I
AGREE WITH EVERY SINGLE THING
THAT MR POUND SAID BUT IN THIS
PARTICULAR CASE.
BECAUSE OF THE URGENCY OF THIS
PARTICULAR PROJECT IN THE FEAR
ABOUT LOSING THIS PARTICULAR
PROJECT.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING THIS BUT
ALL OF THE OTHER POINTS THAT HE
IS MAKING I AM TAKING.
NO ISSUE WITH AYE I CERTAINLY
UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'VE GONE DOWN
THIS ROAD WHY.
M. OTHERS CONTINUE TO LOOK TO
THIS AS A MODEL.
IT WAS FLAWED THEN.
IT IS FLAWED NOW AND FOR
PURPOSES OF THE WAY OUR COURTS
ARE SUPPOSED TO OPERATE THIS IS
JUST AT ODDS WITH WHAT WE ARE
CHARGED WITH DOING AND AGAIN
VERY RESPECTFULLY THAT IS THE
REASON FOR THE COUNCIL'S
OPPOSITION.
NEXT WITNESS A GOOD EVENING
KILEY JONES IS YOUR CUP
CALIFORNIA AND I DO WANT TO
EMPHASIZE THAT WE WE ARE FULLY
SUPPORTIVE OF EFFORTS TO REBUILD
ANGIE'S A PORTLY TRAGIC EVENT
THAT HAPPENED YOU COMMUNITY --
BUT WE DON'T FEEL THAT THIS BILL --
IS REALLY GETTING AT AT AT THE
ROOT OF THE ISSUE AND WE DON'T
THINK THAT SEQUENCE THE PROBLEM
FOR REBUILDING.
IN SANTA ROSA I START WITH THE
EXISTING EXEMPTION FOR
REBUILDING SO FOR ANY ANY HOME
THAT WAS DESTROYED OR DAMAGED.
OTHERS ALREADY FULL SEQUEL
EXEMPTION FOR REBUILDING THAT
HOME.
I IT THIS BILL GOES FAR BEYOND
THAT BY AYE IN SECTION ONE OF
THE BILL EXEMPTS ANY SPECIFIC
PLAN AMENDMENTS THAT INCREASED
DENSITY THAT DIVERSIFY --
WHICH ARE YOU KNOW I PLANNED
DIVERSIFICATION IS NOT DEFINED --
IT WITHIN THE CITY AT IS IT WITH
THOSE SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENTS --
WHICH MEANS THAT. FOR A LARGE
SWATH OF THE CITY --
YOU COULD HAVE COMPLETE.
EXEMPTIONS FOR BOTH AMENDMENTS
AND PROJECTS CONSISTENT WITH
THOSE AMENDMENTS AND I AM TRYING
TO THINK ABOUT WHAT OTHER
PROCEDURAL BACKSTOPS THEY HAVE
FOR COMMITTEE MEMBERS BUT I CAN
ONLY THINK OF THE BROWN ACT.
ARE THAT WOULD PREVENT ANYONE
THAT THAT REALLY PROVIDES PUBLIC
NOTICE ABOUT ABOUT THESE CHANGES
AYE AYE IT.
IF SOMEONE WERE TO PROVIDE A
SPECIFIC AMENDMENT THAT SPECIFIC
ABOUT AN UPDATE.
I YOU WOULD HAVE THAT SEVENTY
TWO HOUR NOTICE TO APPROVE IT
AND THEN IT IT COULD BE DONE.
AYE AND AND AND THEN --
PROJECTS CONSISTENT WITH THAT
WOULD ALSO BE APPROVED THE
REGULAR REGULAR PROCESS.
I IT AND THEN THEY WOULD BE
APPROVED AND SO FOR COMMITTEE
MEMBERS WHO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT
ANY OF THIS DEVELOPMENT THEY
WOULD HAVE. SEVENTY TWO HOURS TO
POTENTIALLY REVIEW AND AND I BY
NO MEANS CORRECT ME IF THERE'S
OTHER PROCEDURAL.
NEEDHAM.
THERE ARE LAWS THERE IS A CITY
COUNCIL PROCESS BUT IT WOULD BE
SEVENTY TWO HOURS TO APPROVED
THEY CAN TIRED GENERAL ERROR
PLAN UPDATE AND THEN ANY
PROJECTS IS THAT WOULD ALSO GET
FAT THAT POINT --
BECAUSE OF THE EXEMPTION THERE'S
ALSO BE NO MEDICATION.
WHY ARE AYE?
OTHER AND OTHER HELPS THE
COMMUNITY AND I THINK ABOUT
WHITE DOES REVIEW NO I THINK.
ONE OF THE THIS YEAR WE WE DEALT
WITH A LOT OF BILLS THAT LOOK TO
INCREASE DENSITY.
AND ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS THAT
IF WE INCREASE DENSITY
COMMUNITIES WE HAVE TO THINK
ABOUT.
WHAT KIND OF SAFETY NEEDS ARE
REQUIRED FOR THOSE BILLS AND AND
AND AND IN SEQUEL IS CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
NEEDS IDEAS IN IS A COMPONENT OF
A SEQUIN ALICE'S?
AND WE THINK ABOUT.
WHEN WE ARE ARE PROVING PLANS TO
INCREASE DENSITY THAT ALLOWS FOR
MITIGATION?
FOR OUT WHAT NEEDS THERE ARE HER
FOR FOR RESPONSE IN SAFETY I DO
WE NEED LARGER LADDERS TO WE
NEED MORE MORE STAFFING.
AYE AND AND THEN THE BILLING
THOSE TO THOSE RESPONSIBLE
PARTIES THOSE WHO ARE INCREASING
THE DEVELOPMENT.
I IF WE'RE NOT GOING THROUGH
THIS EAGLE PROCESS AND INSTEAD
SAYING WERE APPROVING A LARGER
DEVELOPMENTS WITHOUT MEDICATION.
THEN THEN THAT HAS TO GO THROUGH
THE REGULAR BUDGETARY PROCESSES
IT IT MAY NOT HAPPEN WE MIGHT
NOT GET THE ADEQUATE SAFETY THAT
THAT WE NEED IN THESE
COMMUNITIES --
SO STRONGER PLANNING IS NEEDED
RATHER THAN THAN EXEMPTING UP
PLANS FROM FROM GOING THROUGH
THIS REGULAR PROCESS --
AND THE OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE
BILL -- LOOK
TO PROVIDE A JUDICIAL
STREAMLINING WHICH AGAIN WE WE
WE ARE.
SHARE CONCERNS THE JUDICIAL
COUNCIL ON THOSE --
AND ARE ALSO AGAIN REITERATE THE
CONCERNS WE MADE A COUPLE TIMES
TODAY ABOUT --
THE THAT NEAR THE TIMELINES AND
COMMENT RESTRICTIONS THERE AND
AND AND ALSO I GUESS WE'RE JUST
KIND OF CONCERN BECAUSE WE YOU
KNOW I A IN MY LETTER I I THINK
IDENTIFIED MAYBE TWENTY EXISTING
STREAMLINING.
OR EXEMPTION PROVISIONS UNDER
SEEK WHAT FOR INFILL DEVELOPMENT
FOR DEVELOPMENT WITHIN TRANSIT
PRIORITY AREAS --
THIS BILLS BROADER THAN THAT AND
AND USUALLY WHAT WE HAVE IS WE
HAVE THE CONVERSATION OF OUTLETS
LOOK ADDS.
YOU KNOW THINGS LIKE TRANSIT
PRIORITY AREAS AND SAY WILD
BECAUSE THEY'RE WITHIN TRANSIT
WE BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE A
REDUCTION IN GREENHOUSE GASES
THEREFORE THESE PROJECTS DESERVE.
AWESOME SORT OF YOU KNOW OR LESS
A BURDEN DURING --
G. ISSUE ANALYSIS.
I NIGHT I DON'T THINK THAT THAT
THAT KIND OF NEED A THOUGHTFUL
APPROACHES ONTO THEIR YOU KNOW
WE ARE HEARING ABOUT AMENDMENTS
TO THE I I I I I I'VE GOTTEN A
COPY OF THEM YESTERDAY.
AND SO I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE FULLY
FULLY ANALYZE HOW THOSE GO.
I DON'T KNOW IF THE COMMITTEE
HAS GOTTEN THEM EITHER --
BUT I I THINK THAT THAT
[inaudible]
THERE IS.
YOU KNOW IT'S THERE'S BEEN A LOT
OF OF MOVING ON THIS IT'S BEEN A
VERY BROAD BILL I AND RIGHT
RIGHT I DON'T KNOW. TO WHAT
EXTENT IT SATISFIES THE QUESTION
OF WHAT IS NEEDED BEYOND
EXISTING [inaudible]
SEQUEL EXEMPTIONS --
AND SO WE'RE VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT THE IMPACTS OF THIS AND
NEVER SAY THANK YOU.
OTHERS OPPOSED --
TO AB.
TWENTY TWO SIXTY SEVEN PLEASE
COME FORWARD.
I WILL CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING
BRING IT BACK TO THE DAY S. --
THINKING CARE QUESTIONS.
SURE YEAH I NO WE'RE GOING GOING
THROUGH -- A
NUMBER OF BILLS ARE REQUIRING.
EXPEDITED SEQUEL --
OR AN EXEMPTION --
IN EMERGENCIES DURATION AND
STILL BEGS THE QUESTION AS TO
YOU KNOW WHAT WE DOING A SEQUEL.
I THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY
TO REFORM IT.
AND EXPEDITED SO THAT --
IT'S PROJECTS ARE DRAWN OUT FOR
YEARS AND YEARS AND HAPPINESS
GET ENOUGH.
DECISION A TIMELY MANNER.
I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT
PROCESS I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU
GET RID OF IT YOU JUST SPEED THE
PROCESS UP --
ARMS IN SUPPORT OF YOUR BILL
ASSEMBLY MEMBER WOULD --
IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE BECAUSE
I THINK IT'S A CASE OF AN
EMERGENCY WHERE.
WE HAVE TO ACT QUICKLY SO THAT
YOU CAN MOVE FORWARD AND REBUILD --
SANTA ROSA REGION.
AND I SENATORS LARA.
THANK YOU AGAIN MAYOR WELCOME
AND THANK YOU A SUMMER FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD.
I AM SUPPORTING THIS AS WELL BUT
I THINK THE OPPOSITION DID BRING
SOME --
POINTS ANY TO BE CLARIFIED OF
UNDERSTANDING THIS IS A VERY
UNIQUE SITUATION THAT.
THE ABILITY TO REBUILD THEM.
TRAILER GIVE BACK IN A FEW DOZEN
PORTANTINO A I UNDERSTAND THE
UNIQUENESS OF THE SITUATION AND
AGAIN GOT SPEED AND NOT ALL THE
WORK YOU KNOW DOING TO RECOVER
FROM.
THE DEVASTATING FIRES SO PICKING.
THUNDERSTONE TRAFFIC YOU --
AND MISTER MAYOR THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE TODAY AND DOCTOR WITH
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE STORE
OWNERS SITUATION WHERE WE DON'T
HAVE TOWNS NEIGHBORHOODS OF THE
BURNED UP AND WE FIVE THOUSAND
VOLUMES AND FAMILIES OF LOS OUR
HOMES IT LOST THEIR PERSONAL
EFFECTS THEY WANNA GET THEIR
LIVES.
BACK -- WE
NEED TO SHOW THAT WE ARE ARE
PUTTING THE QUALITY OF THEIR
LIVES.
AHEAD OF OF ISSUES SECOND POST
PHONE FOR MANY MANY YEARS THE
ABILITY FOR THEM.
TO A REESTABLISH --
A PLACE TO LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL
AREA OF THE STATE.
AND SO --
I'M INTRIGUED BY THE COMMENTS
THAT -- THE
SIERRA CLUB HAS MADE --
BUT I KNOW THAT THERE'S SOME --
ISSUES THAT I THINK THAT YOUR
BILL IS GOING TO ADDRESS IT IS
GOING TO ALLOW [inaudible]
FOR TIMELY RECONSTRUCTION.
OF OF HOMES --
WITH LARGER DENSITIES ARE.
I MEAN THERE WAS THERE WAS A
HOUSING SHORTAGE PRIOR TO THIS
DEVASTATING FIRE.
AND SO --
YOU'RE REALLY BEHIND THE EIGHT
BALL AND AND WE AS A STATE DATA.
MAKE THIS A SIGNIFICANT
EXCEPTION.
AND OF THOSE REASONS SO I
SUPPORTER YOUR BUILDING
APPRECIATE THE ISSUE YOU BROUGHT
FORWARD AN UNDERSTANDING THAT
THE SENSITIVITY ON THIS
COMMITTEE --
TO ANY TYPE OF SEQUEL EXEMPTION
ISSUES WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AS WE
TALKED ABOUT EARLIER TODAY --
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT QUALITY OF
LIFE AND RESTORING.
A PEOPLE'S FAITH IN THE CITY IN
THE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA --
TO RHYDIAN THEM AT A TIME IT
THERE BUT THERE LARGEST NEEDS SO
I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE BILL
TODAY.
NUMBER.
OKAY SO --
THANK YOU.
NO EXEMPTION IS NEEDED TO
REBUILD EVERY HOUSE THAT IS
BURNED IN SAY CALIFORNIA.
DO WE AGREE WITH THAT.
THAT IN SANTA BARBARA OR CINEMA
OR LOS ANGELES OR ANYWHERE IN
CALIFORNIA ANY HOUSES HAS BEEN
RAVAGED BY FIRE CAN BE BUILT
RIGHT NOW.
THAT IS IT AGREED.
OKAY ARM SO MY GUESS MY QUESTION
IS YOU YOU WHICH PART OF THE
CITY ARE YOU REBUILDING IN THIS
RED SOUND THAT'S PART OF THIS.
PLAN WAS THIS EVEN HIT BY THE
FIRE I MEAN IT TANGENTIALLY
AFFECTED BUT IS THIS.
EVEN AN AREA THAT WE SAW ON THE
TV THAT WAS HIT BY THE FIRE.
YOU DID NOT SEE OUR DOWNTOWN
BURNED DOWN BY THE FIRE --
APPOINTED I WAS TRYING TO MAKE
IN MY IN MY COMMENTS.
IS THAT THIS IS AFFECTED A MUCH
WIDER AREA THAN JUST FIVE
THOUSAND HAVE HOMES THAT ARE
GONE -- THAT
THAT.
THE AFFECTS OF THAT IS CASCADIA
THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD HOUSING
DOWNTOWN BEYOND REBUILDING --
WE ACTUALLY CALL THE THE
SUBCOMMITTEE IS THAT WE HAVE OF
THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE AD HOC
WE HAVE WITH THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS TOGETHER --
BUILD AND REBUILD OUR BARB
COMMITTEES.
WE'RE WE'RE NOT JUST REBUILDING
WE'RE BUILDING NEW HOUSING AS
WELL.
AND I JUST WANT.
TO IF I CAN MAKE.
CORRECT WHAT I THINK MIGHT BE A
MISUNDERSTANDING.
WE'RE NOT ASKING TO CIRCUMVENT
SEQUEL.
WE ARE WE HAVE AN EXISTING
SPECIFIC PLAN FOR OUR DOWNTOWN
AREA.
THAT'S ABOUT EIGHT YEARS OLD.
WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING
THAT.
WE RECEIVED EIGHT AND EIGHT
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR GRANT
FROM THE METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORTATION. TO UPDATE OUR
DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN.
WE'RE ASKING GROUP FOR SECRET
RELIEF HERE ONTO.
PORTIONS OF THAT OF THAT.
OR MAYBE IT'S THREE RIGHT.
DENSITY AND AND PARKING.
AND AYE YOU KNOW MAYBE OUR
SUBJECT MET MATTER EXPERT.
EXPERTS ARE BETTER ABLE TO TALK
ABOUT THE SPECIFICS OF THAT.
THAT'S THE NARROW.
NARROW ASK THAT WE'RE MAKING.
FAR AS THE THE DOWNTOWN --
DENSITY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
BUILDING.
THAT'S NOT WHAT CONFRONTED MAY
HAVE BEEN TO ELABORATE WITH WITH
IT IF YOU POLICE.
WE ARE LOOKING AT SMART INFILL
DEVELOPMENT IN THE DOWNTOWN CORE.
WE ARE LOOKING AT DEVELOPMENT
THAT IS AWAY FROM THE URBAN
WILDLIFE --
WILDLAND INTERFACE WE'RE TRYING
TO BE SMARTER WE HAD A FIRE IN
NINETEEN SIXTY FOUR THE FOLLOWED
VIRTUALLY THE SAME PATH AS THIS
FIRE.
THAT THAT HAPPENED IN TWO
THOUSAND AND SEVENTEEN WE ARE
TRYING TO BE SMARTER ABOUT WHERE
WE REBUILT --
AND NOT EVERY HOME THAT HAS.
IS GOING TO BE REBUILT ON THAT
FOR FOOTPRINT EVEN THOUGH BY
STATE LAW WE CAN ALLOW TO DO
THAT WHY WOULD WE NOT WANT.
TO CREATE A HOMES THAT ARE
CLOSER TO TRANSPORTATION AND
THAT ARE INFILL AREAS THAT ARE
THAT.
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE LAST GHG WRIT
THAT REDUCTION --
EMISSIONS WHY WOULD WE NOT WANT
TO BRIEF BUILD SMARTER AND AND
AND YES WE COULD REBUILD ON ALL
THESE FOOTPRINTS OUT THERE BUT
THAT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AND
THAT'S WHY WE'RE GETTING
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY SUPPORT.
THAT'S WHY THEY RECOGNIZE THAT
THIS IS A SMART SMART WAY TO GO
AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE WORKING
WITH US.
WELL THAT THE TEXAS BEFORE US IS
IN THE RED ZONE MEANS THE
PORTION OF THE CITY OF SANTA
ROSA OR AND CORPORATE AREAS.
THE COUNTY HAS AS WE HAVE SIGNAL
WE HAVE NOW WE HAVE AMENDMENTS
THAT THAT WOODS THAT THAT.
THEY'RE NOT IN FRONT OF YOU WE
CAN PASS THESE OUT ON THESE ARE
THINGS WE HAVE TRIED TO TALK --
TO THE COMMITTEE OF THAT THE
COMMITTEE CONSULTANT ABOUT BUT
HAVE BEEN UNABLE.
TO GET THESE IN FRONT OF THE
COMMITTEE CONSULTANT.
THAT'S THAT SIGNIFICANTLY NARROW
THIS BILL SO WHY WITH THESE.
IT WE ALREADY HAVE AN INFILL AND
A EXEMPTION FOR SEQUEL Y. IN
THIS IF IT'S A IF IT'S A
DESIGNATED AREA THAT'S GOING TO
BE WHY WITH THAT.
EXEMPTION NOT APPLY.
WE'RE BECAUSE IT BECAUSE WE HAVE
A HEIGHT LIMIT.
WE'RE ALL WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS
MAKE THESE BUILDINGS TALLER.
THAT'S THAT'S THE HEART OF THIS
BILL.
IS TO MAKE THESE BUILDINGS
TALLER.
THAT'S WERE LOOKING.
FOR OKAY HOW DO YOU PLAN.
DUE TO TRAFFIC AND A IMPACTS.
DURING A REPORT THIS AS IT IS
RIGHT NOW IT SAYS WE'RE GOING TO
EXEMPT THIS AREA FROM THE
PROCESS SO HOW WILL THE TRAFFIC
MITIGATION AND THOSE --
ALREADY ANTICIPATE TRAFFIC
MITIGATION GOOD GUYS.
AND THE USE OF WATER THAT THAT
DELIVERY OF WATER THAT NORMALLY
WOULD GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS
THESE ARE AREAS THAT ARE ALREADY
UNDER A SPECIFIC PLAN.
SO THERE ARE HAS BEEN A SEQUINED
ALICE'S ON ON THESE PARTICULAR
AREAS WERE SIMPLY AS I SAID
LOOKING TO MAKE.
WE HAVE A TEN STORY LIMIT ON
BUILDINGS WERE SIMPLY ASKING TO
GO HIGHER THAN THAT WE'RE NOT
ASKING TO EXPAND THE FOOTPRINT.
RESTING TO GO HIGHER SPORTS OUR
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE AND OUR
SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE NO COUNTY
WATER AGENCIES IN SUPPORT OF
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE
THEIR THE PURVEYOR.
OF FOR OUR WATER SUPPLY --
WE HAVE THE WATER AND SEWER
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THIS --
THAT'S THAT DOES THAT IS AN YOU
HAVE SOME.
MAYBE DAVID CAN YAKKING IT I'M
DAVID GIVEN OF THE DIRECTOR
PLANNING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AN
ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER FOR THE
CITY SANTA ROSA.
I'D CLARIFY TWO THINGS ONE AND
WHAT WE DO WE DO HAVE A TRUE TO
SAY THAT DISPLACEMENT ISSUE
GOING ON IS A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT
DON'TWANNA GO BACK TO THESE
HOMES THAT BURNED DOWN.
WE WANNA TRY TO KEEP AMERICAN
MUSEUM LOOKING FOR NEW HOMES IN
A NEW LOCATION.
IN AN AREA THAT'S NOT WHERE THEY
WERE SO WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO
FIND WAYS NEW NEW PRODUCT FOR
PEOPLE TO STAY IN OUR COMMUNITY.
AND SO IT'S IT'S BEEN A BIG
PROBLEM FOR US --
SECONDLY WE WE'RE GONNA GO TO A
SPECIFIC PLAN PROCESS I'M IN OUR
DOWNTOWN IT'S A THAT'S
DISCIPLINE PROCESS WILL LOOK AT
ALL THE IMPACTS WATERS SEWER
TRAFFIC WHICH I'M LOOKING AT
COMMITTEE TO VEHICLE MILES
TRAVELED.
AND JUST LIKE THE STATE WANTS US
TO DO SO ALL THAT WILL BE
ANALYZE TO SPECIFIC PLAN PROCESS
WITH THE PUBLIC AND PLAYED.
ON THAT WILL GO THROUGH THAT AND
THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN OVER THE
NEXT FEW MONTHS THE MTC PAID.
FOR OKAY SO I'M ITEM EXTRA TIME
ARE YOU ANTICIPATING THAT
BECAUSE IT DOES PROVIDE A FIVE
YEAR WINDOW FOR EXAMPLE AND SO
SO.
AS THIS PROCESS GOES ON IS ARE
SOME OF THESE PROJECTS GOOD TO
BE APPROVED BY THE COUNTY OR
THAT THIS THE CITY BEFORE THE
SPECIFIC PLAN RAN TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT IF YOU GOT TO
SPECIFIC PLANS.
AND IT WAS OUR COMMUNITY.
PLAN AND IT WAS IF IT WANTED THE
EXISTING EXEMPTIONS AND IT WAS
SPECIFIED THAT YOU COULD GO
ABOVE WHATEVER THE AYE.
HEIGHT LIMIT WISE THEN IS IT A
TIMING ISSUE THAT I'M MISSING
THE TIMING ISSUE HERE WERE WERE
WERE UDER WE HAVE A URGENT NEED
TO BUILD HOUSING [inaudible]
COMMUNITY INTO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE
PEOPLE LEAVING THE CAN'T FIND
HOMES THAT DON'T WANNA GO BACK
TO WHERE THEY WERE --
WE WE ARE LOOKING FOR TO DO
MULTIPLE THINGS YOU CITY
PROPERTY TO TRY TO BUILD HOMES
ON A PARKING LOTS LIST WE NEED
TO BUILD HOMES ON IT.
WE WANT TO TRY TO USE EVERY
AVENUE WE CAN THE CITY'S I'M
CHANGE POLICIES --
LOOKED AT OUR OWN PROCESSES TRY
TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO
REDUCE FEES EVERYTHING POSSIBLE
SO THAT THIS IS THE LAST ASKED
WE NEED HELP FROM IS.
THIS LAST PIECE DID MOVIES FOR
HIS QUICK AS POSSIBLE TO KEEP
THESE HOMES BUILT I'M WE TO
BRIEF AS IS MAYOR SAID WE TAKES
HEAT SEEKER VERY SERIOUSLY WOULD
EVALUATE ALL THOSE ELEMENTS.
AND WE GONNA DO THIS THE RIGHT
WAY WE HAVE FULL SUPPORT FROM
OUR ENVIRONMENT WE NEED TO DO
THIS AND I'M JUST WONDERING I
MEAN FOR ASK FOR A GEOGRAPHICAL
CARVE OUT WE HAD FIRES ALL OVER
WE DON'T HAVE OTHER FIRES.
AND I'M I I DON'T KNOW IF I'M
GONNA HAVE OTHER BILLS BASED ON
A DIFFERENT [inaudible]
DIFFERENT.
GEOGRAPHIC GEOGRAPHY SANTA
BARBARA SIDE HERE AND LA STOCK
HERE AND THAT.
TRYING TO LOOK AT THAT THE BODY
LAW THAT WE HAVE AND WHY A WERE
CAN'T.
WE DON'T SEEM TO BE ABLE TO GET
THE THE PAGAN THE IN THE WHOLE
THAT HAS THESE [inaudible]
YOU KNOW.
AT LEAST MY READING OF IT WAS
ANTICIPATED THE THE ABILITY TO
COMMAND AFTER A DISASTER IN THE
YOU KNOW USUALLY SPECIFIC PLAN
EFFORTS [inaudible]
POSSESS.
OTHER QUESTIONS BY MEMBERS.
FEWER CENTER GAIN READ BUT I
I'LL MAKE A VERY BRIEF LIKE
THIRTY SECONDS BUT I WAS TALKING
TO A RESIDENT.
IN SANTA ROSA --
HUSSEIN THERE'S A LOT OF BLUE
COLLAR --
FOLKS IN THE SANTA ROSA AREA.
THEY GOT FULL PAYMENT ON ON
THEIR INSURANCE.
AND THEY CAN'T REBUILD BECAUSE
ACOSTA CONSTRUCTION SO HIGH SO
YOU YOU'RE GETTING A FLIGHT OUT
OF THE COMMUNITY. FOR BLUE
COLLAR FOLKS THAT MIGHT FIND AN
OPTION AND BEING ABLE TO BUY
HOUSING.
AND WHAT YOU'RE DESCRIBING AT A
LOWER PRICE POINT --
SO [inaudible]
YEAH SONICALLY.
THERE'S A MOTION BY SENATOR
STONE.
A SKINNER.
I KNOW THIS IS BEEN ALONG
HEARING SO I'M APOLOGY STEVEN
ASKED QUESTION BUT THAT I WASN'T
PRESENT DURING ALL OF THE AND
WITH THE NARROWED BILL WITH THE
AMENDMENTS THAT YOU --
WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE ENTERTAINED.
I GUESS I NEED TO UNDERSTAND
BETTER BECAUSE THIS IS NOT THE
BURN AREA [inaudible]
WHY?
THIS IS NEEDED.
I AM THAT PROCEDURE SET YOUR
QUESTION SENATOR AS I AS I WAS
SAYING --
PART WHAT WE'RE WE'RE TRYING TO
DO IS IS ENCOURAGE SMART INFILL
DEVELOPMENT.
AND NOT NECESSARILY REBUILD IN
THE AS MUCH IN THE WILDLAND
URBAN INTERFACE WHERE WE'VE
ALREADY HAD A FIRE IN NINETEEN
SIXTY FOUR AND NOW A DUPLICATE
FIRE IN.
TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN AS WE GO
FORWARD WOULD WE NOT WANT TO
BUILD SMARTER --
AT THAT'S THAT'S AND THAT IS
THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY
WE'RE TRYING TO OFFER AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE. TO HAVE
DIFFERENT KIND OF HOUSING NOT
EVERYBODY'S GOING TO REFILL
THOSE I GUARANTEE YOU THAT
PEOPLE ARE NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE
ARE NOT CAN REBUILD IN THOSE
AREAS AND AND WE DESPERATELY
NEED TO HAVE PEOPLE IN IN OUR
COMMUNITY AND WITH OUR REDUCE
YOU RESPECT TO THE JUDICIAL.
COUNCIL I UNDERSTAND THAT
THERE'S LAWSUITS THAT ARE FIRE.
BUT MANY OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO
HAVE LAWSUITS THAT ARE PENDING
THERE ALSO NEED A PLACE TO LIVE.
AND SO -- SO
IF WE DID THEY DON'T GET THE YOU
KNOW THEY DON'T GET THIS HOUSING
THE OUTCOMES OF THE LAWSUITS ARE
GONNA NECESSARILY BE THAT
FULFILLING IF THEY CAN'T EVEN
HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE AT HOME AND
HUNT COMMUNITY.
SO -- BUT
YOU'RE.
AND NOT NECESSARILY ADVOCATING
THAT YOU DO BUT OKAY WITH.
FIVE SO I WAS ON THE BERKELEY
CITY COUNCIL DURING THE TUNNEL
FIRED OAKLAND BERKELEY FIRE.
AND OF COURSE THEY WERE EVERYONE
WAS ALLOWED TO COMPLETELY
REBUILD EXACTLY AS ISN'T EVEN IN
MANY CASES BAKER [inaudible]
AND SO.
YET WE KNOW THAT THAT IS.
A EXTREME FIRE RISK AREA DUE TO
THECANYONS AND THE WIND
PATTERNS AND SUCH.
ON AND IN A WAY WHILE.
CERTAINLY MOST CITY GOVERNMENTS
WANT DON'T WANT TO TELL.
AN OWNER YOU CAN'T REBUILD IT
WAS A MISTAKE TO REALLY ALLOW
THE EXACT REBUILDING.
NOW WHAT I UNDERSTAND FROM WHAT
YOU'RE DESCRIBING IS THAT YOU'RE
TRYING TO CHANGE THE DEVELOPMENT
PATTERN BUT YOU AREN'T
NECESSARILY PUTTING ANY
RESTRICTIONS ON THE REBUILDING
INTO PLACES THAT WERE IN THE
HIGH FIRESTONE.
ACCORDING TO STATE LAW WE CAN'T
OKAY SO WHY IS IT THAT YOU'RE
ALRIGHT SO BY DOING THIS.
BY CHANGING YOUR DEVELOPMENT
PATTERN WHICH YOU'RE.
YOUR CITY IS NOT AT SANTA ROSA
HASN'T UP TO THIS POINT DONE.
YOU'RE TRYING TO CREATE THAT.
OPPORTUNITY FOR PERHAPS PEOPLE
WOULD OKAY SO IN THE DEVELOPMENT
PATTERN YOUR PROMOTING IS A
DEVELOPMENT PATTERN THAT NOT
ONLY IS BETTER FROM A FIRE POINT
OF VIEW BUT FROM A GHG REDUCTION
POINT OF VIEW BECAUSE OF BOTH.
TRANSPORTATION AND SOUGHT JUST
LITERALLY THE SQUIRT YOU KNOW
THAT MORE.
PEOPLE THAT LIVE [inaudible]
IN -- MORE
DENSITY REGARDLESS OF THE
WEATHER THEY LIVE IN A MULTI
UNIT BUILDING OR NOT.
HAVE A LOWER GHG PROFILE.
OKAY SO NOW I'M UNDERSTANDING
THIS BETTER ELSE OF YOUR WATER
CONSUMPTION.
YEAH THIS WHICH IS VERY
SIGNIFICANT ISSUE THROUGH.
SENATOR IF IF I MAY ADD
SOMETHING YOU KNOW YOU ARE HERE
FOR MY EARLIER TESTIMONY BUT
THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT.
PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR HOMES IN
THE FIRE.
WE HAD A A A A ROLLOVER EFFECT
FROM THAT --
LARGE PART OF THE HOMES THAT
WERE LOST.
WE'RE IN AN AFFLUENT AREA UP IN
THE HILLS.
PEOPLE WITH MEANS HAVE BEEN ABLE.
TO TO BUY HOMES OR RENT HOMES --
THAT HAS HAVE PUSHED OTHER
PEOPLE.
YEAH YEAH YEAH FRANKLY THIS IS
OUR FASTEST WAY TO AFFORDABILITY
OF ANY KIND.
THAT'S A HUGE COMPONENT OF THIS
AND IT'S REALLY ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT COMPONENTS FOR ME.
IS FINDING A WAY TO CREATE SOME
AFFORDABLE HOMES IN OUR
COMMUNITY.
WE HAD A 22% --
VACANCY RATE AND AND SANTA ROSA
BEFORE THE FIRES RIGHT --
NOW ZERO PEOPLE WHO OWN HOMES
THAT WERE PART OF A RENTAL STOCK --
PUT THOSE ON THE MARKET --
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT
THOSE EXISTING HOMES DISPLACING
ADDITIONAL PEOPLE THAT'S THE
KIND OF TRICKLE DOWN EFFECT THAT
THE MAYOR IS TALKING ABOUT.
AND THAT'S WHAT THAT'S THE
URGENCY WE FEEL THAT POTENTIALLY
HAVE IF WE DON'T DO SOMETHING
PRETTY SIGNIFICANT WE'RE GONNA
SEE OF THE FABRIC OF OUR
COMMUNITY SLIP AWAY.
AND I DON'T MEAN TO BE THAT
DRAMATIC BUT IT'S I LIVE IN THIS
COMMUNITY AND I'M AND I SEE IT
ON ON A DAILY BASIS AND AND IT
IS VERY CONCERNING.
SO WHERE IF THIS BILL WERE. TO
MOVE TO ASK ME WHERE TO GO NEXT
BACK TO RULES.
BACK TO RULES BECAUSE AND THEY
DID [inaudible]
SIXTY I TIME NOW [inaudible]
OKAY AFTER [inaudible]
DURATION [inaudible]
OKAY.
AND THEY CLEARLY HAVE INDICATED
THEY WANT TO MAKE ADDITIONAL
AMENDMENT RIGHT AND AND ON THOSE
AMENDMENTS WHICH NOBODY SENIOR
YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN HER ARE THEY
TRY TO OFFER THEM GET BY THE TO
CURE COMMITTEES ARE SORT OF
JAMMED HERE THE LAST IN THE
TWENTY FOUR A HARSH DOES.
BEFORE THAT SIR QUE [inaudible]
WHEN WE?
AND IN THE RED CELLS.
S. PROPORTIONALLY HOW MUCH OF IT
IS INCORPORATED AND HOW MUCH OF
IT IS UNINCORPORATED DOES WHEN I
WHEN I SEE AN INCORPORATED.
CINEMA COUNTY DEBT.
PRESENTS AN IMAGE IN MY MIND
VERSUS THAT INCORPORATED SANTA
ROSA AND AND AND I CAME COME
FROM SUBURBIA SO.
OF IT TO ELEMENTS THE FIRST ONE
IS THE PROJECT THE SPECIFIC PLAN
IS JUST IN DOWNTOWN SANTA ROSA
SO VARIED THAT URBAN SETTING OF
DOWNTOWN SANTA ROSA.
THE I'D LEADERSHIP PROJECTS ARE
JUST AGAIN IN THE CITY LIMITS
JUST ON CITY PROPERTY AND COUNTY
PROPERTY SO AGAIN WORKING WITH
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY.
WE'VE NARROW THIS DOWN TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT WE CAN GET DONE IN FIVE
YEARS AND PUT OUR EFFORTS IN
ATTENTION INTO THOSE THOSE
PROPERTIES THAT WE CAN CONTROL
AND WE CAN HELP THEM.
STEER IN TERMS OF HUNTED LE
LABOR A PREVAILING WAGE --
WE'VE GOT FEEDBACK FROM THAT ON
ON LEADERSHIP PROJECTS AND
OTHERS SO WE'VE INCORPORATE A
LOT OF INPUT FROM A COMPETITION
WE'VE HAD OVER THE PAST COUPLE
WEEKS.
AND TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS --
WORK WITH EVERYBODY.
THE RED ZONE IS NOW ONLY CITY
AND COUNTY OWNED PROPERTY.
WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS WAS ALL
INCORPORATED.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING TO TO MAKE
THIS BILL WORK FOR EVERYONE
INVOLVED AND WE'RE GETTING
CLOSER EVERY DAY --
THAT'S WHY WERE JUST WE'RE
ASKING. TO TO BE ALLOWED TO KEEP
MOVING THIS FORWARD
[inaudible]
SO [inaudible]
PLEASE.
YOUR YOUR FINAL CLOSING WITH US

THIS FIRE HAPPEN IN OCTOBER --
WE WEREN'T EVE ABLE TO CLEAN UP
A LOT OF FIRE ZONES UNTIL --
SOME HE'S AREAS MORNING CLEAN UP
AND COMPLETELY UNTIL MARCH AND
APRIL.

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN VERSE
I'M HERE TO PRESENT AB TWENTY
THREE EIGHTY ONE A BILL THAT
HELPS THE CALIFORNIA AIR
RESOURCE FOR THE A A RP.
IN THE FIGHT AGAINST VEHICLE
TECHNOLOGY DOES DESIGNED TO
EVADE CALIFORNIA CLEAN AIR LAWS.
NEW MOTOR VEHICLES ARE SUBJECT
TO EMISSION TEST BY THEY ARE BE
TO VERIFY COMPLIANCE WITH THE
CALIFORNIA MISSION LAWS.
HOWEVER THE DEVICES EXIST THAT
CAN ENABLE A VEHICLE TO FOOL THE
EMISSION TESTING.
IN A PROMINENT EXAMPLE WAS
DISCOVERED THAT VOLKSWAGEN HAD
INSTALLED THE SO CALLED THE
FIGHT DEFEAT DEVICES AND MANY OF
THEIR VEHICLES.
THESE DEVICES WERE DISCOVERED IN
PART DUE.
TO THE HEALTH TO TAKE THESE
DEVICES WHICH WERE PREVIOUSLY
UNDISCOVERED BULL AND LABORATORY
SETTINGS.
CALIFORNIA HAS MADE GREAT
STRIDES IN CLEANING UP THE AIR
IN FIGHTING AGAINST POLLUTANTS
BUT VOLKSWAGENS DECEPTIONS WAS
PARTICULARLY DAMAGING.
BECAUSE MANY PARTS OF THE STATE
STILL EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE
WORST AIR QUALITY.
IN THE NATION AND THESE DEVICES
ALLOW THE EMISSION OF TOXIC
POLLUTANTS WHICH INTENSIFIES AS
THIS PROBLEM.
AB TWENTY THREE EIGHTY ONE WOULD
PARTNER WITH THE AIR BE WITH AND
ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS ASSOCIATED
LABORATORIES AND EXPERTS IN
ORDER TO ENHANCE OUR MOTOR
VEHICLE EMISSIONS TESTING
PROGRAM.
AND DISCOVERED THESE DEFEAT
DEVICES A BETWEEN AB TWENTY
THREE ANYONE ALSO GIVE THE AIR

TWENTY FIVE SEVENTY ON SCHOOL
FACILITIES IS ITEM NUMBER THIRTY
EIGHT MEMBERS.
GOOD EVENING MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS.
OF FIRST BEFORE I START I KNOW
THERE'S POLICE I'M CONCERNED
ABOUT THIS WE'VE HAD A BRIEF
OPPORTUNITY. TO SPEAK SO --
I'M HOPING.
TO WORK WITH YOU ON AN ONGOING
BASIS AS THIS BILL.
POTENTIALLY CLEARS THIS
COMMITTEE SO WE'LL FIND OUT SOON --
AB TWENTY FIVE SEVENTY REQUIRES
ALL KEY TO TWELVE SCHOOLS WITH
FIFTY OR MORE STUDENTS TO SWITCH
TO SAFER ENVIRONMENTALLY
PREFERABLE.
CLEANING PRODUCTS OR SIMPLY PUT
GREEN CLEANING PRODUCTS.
A SINCE I HAVE WITH ME.
A THE THE SPONSOR OF THE BILL
BILL ELLIOTT BILL ELIUD WITH THE
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP --
I'LL JUST TURN IT OVER TO HIM TO
ALSO SPEAK AND WILL NOT
DUPLICATE WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE
SAYING [inaudible]
THROWING PLEASE.
I BILL ELLIOTT ENVIRONMENT
WORKING GROUP SPONSORING THIS
BILL -- AS
THE COMMITTEE KNOWS THIS IS A
REAL WORK OF A BILL FROM TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT AND NINE AND WE
ARE STILL SEE THE NEED TO GET
THIS DONE TO PROTECT MANY
STUDENTS AND JANITORS AND
TEACHERS.
THEIR SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT FROM
TOXIC CHEMICALS --
WE'VE WORKED WITH THE INDUSTRY
FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE RECENTLY
COME AND WE'RE TALKING TO THEM
NOW AND WE KNOW THE BILL'S
DOUBLE REFERRED.
AND WEAK KNOWLEDGE SOME --
GOOD SUGGESTIONS FROM THE
COMMITTEE WILL BE WORKING ON
THOSE IN THE NEXT WEEK.
I WANTED TO COMMENT ON THEIR
SOME OPPOSITION FROM SOME
COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS
THAT.
ARE OUT SOME COMMITTEE EMBERS
MAY BE WONDERING LIKE WHAT'S
THAT ABOUT AND NOT SUPPORTING
THE BILL LET ME COMMENT QUICKLY
ON SOME OF THOSE --
THEY SAY THAT --
THIS WOULD LEAD TO THE STATE.
FORCING TOXIC CHEMICALS INTO THE
SCHOOLS WE DISAGREE.
FIRST OF ALL THE CERTIFY
PRODUCTS IN THESE THIRD PARTY
SERVERS CANNOT CONTAIN
CARCINOGENS ASTHMA JONES AND
OTHER CHEMICALS THAT CAUSE
REPRODUCTIVE HARM.
THEY ALSO ARE WELL AWARE OF THE-PRESERVATIVE ISSUE THAT THEY'VE
RAISED WHICH IS --
MRI WHICH IS A LONG CHEMICAL
NAME THEY SAID THEY LOOK AT USE
CONDITIONS AND WON'T CERTIFY
THESE CLEANING PRODUCTS IF THEY
COULD CAUSE HARM THEY
SPECIFICALLY OF TALK GREEN SEAL
LEAST.
ABOUT MI INSAFE IS BELOW ABOVE A
CERTAIN VERY LOW PARTS PER
MILLION THEY WILL CERTIFY THE
PRODUCT.
SO IT'S NOT LIKE RANDOM LET'S
APPROVE ANYTHING WITH WITH
HARMFUL PRESERVATIVES.
THEY ALSO SAY THE BILL WOULD
PROHIBIT.
US SOME OF MUSINGS VINEGAR AND
BAKING SODA OR SO CALLED HOME
REMEDY IN THE SCHOOL THE BILL
DOESN'T PROHIBIT ANY USE LIKE
THAT OF A TEACHER ONE TO SAY I'M
USING VACANCY OUT ON MY DESK.
THEY CAN'T BUT ALSO WHAT THEY
DON'T. TOO SO IT'S NOT SO SIMPLE
TO SPRING IN WHAT YOU HAVE FROM
HOME BECAUSE THIS NOT A SO
CALLED CHEMICAL --
WE ALSO FEEL THAT'S NOT GOOD
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AREN'T
REALISTICALLY CLEANING WITH
VINEGAR AND BAKING SODA THEY'RE
USING HARSHER CHEMICALS WE HAVE
A MOM WHO COULDN'T BE HERE TODAY
FROM A LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT.
WHO ASKED OF THE DISTRICT ABOUT
HARSH CHEMICALS BEING USED A
BECAUSE THEIR CHILDREN TO TO
FROM MOMS ARE CHEMICALLY
SENSITIVE?
OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS BASICALLY
SAID GET LOST WERE USING LEGAL
PRODUCTS SO SCHOOL DISTRICT LIKE
THAT PROBABLY NEEDS A LAW LIKE
THIS THEIR NUMBER IN THE STATE
ALREADY USING GREEN CLEANING.
ELK GROVE IS THE CLOSEST HERE
JUST SOUTH OF US AND THEY'RE
DOING SUCCESSFULLY AND SAVING
MONEY.
SO WE THINK THE BILL IS FEASIBLE
TO CARRY OUT AND WE LOOK FORWARD
TO WORKING WITH THE COMMITTEE.
AND THE OPPONENTS ON GETTING
SOMETHING THAT IS WORKABLE.
CAN YOU TOUCH ON THE THIRD PARTY
CERTIFIER STE --
YEAH THAT WAS BROUGHT UP ABOUT
THE INDUSTRY'S VERSES.
I GUESS LE [inaudible]
AND ATTACHED.
YEAH THERE'S A BEEN A NUMBER THE
BEEN AROUND FOR ALMOST THIRTY
YEARS GREEN SEAL THERE'S A
SECOND ECO LOGO NOT QUITE AS
LONG AND THEN WORKS MORE
RECENTLY USEPA SAFER CHOICE --
AND THAT'S THE INDUSTRY WANTED
THEM ADDED AS WELL SO CITY
COUNTY SAN FRANCISCO WE'VE HAD
SOME INTERNAL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT
THAT.
WE FEEL LIKE THERE ARE SLIGHT
NOTH BELOW THE TWO LONG
STANDING ONES BUT THEY'D THEY DO
A GOOD JOB IN.
THE BILL AMENDMENTS WE'VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT WITH THEM WOULD
ALLOW SAFER CHOICES A THIRD
PARTY OF THE BILL LANGUAGE WHEN
SAY THESE ARE THE ONES YOU JUST
HAVE TO USE THEIR CRITERION THE
BILL THAT.
MAKE IT
[inaudible]
ENGINEERING --
FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF
CINCINNATI WHERE I WAS THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FELLOW.
AND AS WELL I RETIRED FROM
WORKING AT DGI HAS --
IN ENVIRONMENTALLY PREFERABLE
PURCHASING AND IN TWO THOUSAND
EIGHT WE THIS BILL WAS KILLED.
AND IT WAS OF OUR OVERWHELMING
BUT I HAVE TWO CHILDREN I LIVE
IN BERKELEY.
I HAVE BEEN ON THE FACILITIES
COMMITTEE AND AS WELL THE SAFETY
COMMITTEE IN MY CITY AND MY
SCHOOL DISTRICT BE UST.
AND TRYING VERY HARD ACTIVELY
MOVING TO TO IN INCLUDE BRING
CLEANERS.
IT'S BEEN NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE
WITHOUT THE LEADERSHIP OF THE
STATE AND THIS BILL IS.
JUST SO NEEDED PLEASE SUPPORTED
ON THERE IS OF THE TGS WHERE
I'VE WORKED --
HAS ALREADY.
A JANITORIAL SUPPLIES IN WHICH
ON THESE THIRD PARTY
CERTIFICATIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR
ALL STATE BUILDINGS IT'S A ARE A
I'M JUST SHOCKED TO HEAR THAT WE
HAVE IT FOR OURSELVES AS WORKERS.
BUT NOT OUR CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS
WHERE THEY SPEND EIGHT HOURS A
DAY ON I HOPE THAT YOU WILL
SUPPORT THE BILL AND MOVE IT
FORWARD.
AND NOT HAVE IT KILLED THIS TIME
A YOU.
OPPOSITION TO THEM [inaudible]
THE MEASURE.
IT'S COME FORWARD.
MY NAME IS SABRINA SWOLLEN I'M
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CALIFORNIA
SAFE SCHOOLS WHERE A CHILDREN'S
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH.
AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
COALITION ARMY WORKED VERY
CLOSELY IN SPEARHEADING WITH LA
UNIFIED.
THE INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
POLICY WHICH LATER LED TO THE
HEALTHY SCHOOLS OUT.
AND THEN LATER WE SPONSORED A
BEFORE A FIVE WHICH WAS A BILL
THAT PROHIBITS THE USE OF
EXPERIMENTAL ARE PHASED OUT.
PESTICIDE PRODUCTS IN SCHOOLS.
AND SO WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF
OVER TWENTY YEARS OF WORKING ON
SCHOOLS AND I I WANNA THANK YOU
THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER WHO HAPPENS
TO BE MY ASSEMBLY MEMBER. ONE
VERY HONORED TO WORK WITH OFTEN.
AND OTHER TO EWG FOR HAVING
CONTINUED COMMUNICATIONS WITH US
ABOUT CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE --
HOWEVER IS DRAFTED THE BILL
COMPELS SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO
PURCHASE PRODUCTS WITH NO
GUARANTEE THAT THESE PRODUCTS
ARE IN FACT SAFER FOR CHILDREN.
OR FOR OTHER SCHOOL STAFF.
OR THAT THEY'RE EFFECTIVE IN
DOING HER CLEANING --
OUR CONCERNS ARE THE FOLLOWING
AND WE SHARE THEM WITH THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER AND NOTICE
RECENTLY AS LAST FRIDAY SO WE
LOOK FORWARD TO ONGOING
COMMUNICATIONS WITH THEM.
BUT HERE THE CONCERNS AND I'LL
DO IT VERY QUICKLY --
THERE MUST BE OVERSIGHT ON THE
CERTIFIER SAYS DRAFTED THERE'S-VIRTUALLY NO REQUIREMENTS FOR
CERTIFIER.
NO OVERSIGHT TO ENSURE THAT THE
SERVER FARMS ARE LEGITIMATE OR
MEETING ANY CHILD PROTECTIVE
STANDARDS NOR IS THERE A
MECHANISM FOR REMEDY.
IN THE CASE OF FRAUD OR
MISREPRESENTATION BY A CERTIFIER
FOR INSTANCE THE REQUIREMENTS ON
CONFLICT OF INTEREST ARE LISTED
AS RATHER VAGUE AN UNDEFINED.
USING GENERAL CRITERIA SUCH AS
OR OPEN AND MERELY STATING THAT
THERE WILL BE NO CONFLICTS OF
INTEREST WITHOUT DEFINING ANY OF
THE TERMS OF PROVIDING TOOLS.
FOR ENSURING COMPLIANCE.
THE OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL
HEALTH HAZARD ASSESSMENT WE HA.
REALLY WE'RE ENCOURAGING THEM TO
PLEASE.
YOU KNOW BURKE WITH US AND HAVE
THEM TAKE THE LEAD IN DEVELOPING
THE REQUIREMENTS THE PROCESS.
THE LISTS THE OVERSIGHT AND
REVIEWS THAT ARE NECESSARY TO
ESTABLISH A PROGRAM THAT TRULY
PROTECT CHILDREN'S ENVIRONMENTAL
HEALTH.
THEIR THE DEPARTMENT WITH THE
MOST APPROPRIATE SCIENTIFIC AND
PUBLIC HEALTH EXPERTISE TO MAKE
THIS DETERMINATION.
AND WHILE WE VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE THE LANGUAGE ALLOWING
SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO IMPLEMENT
PROGRAMS THAT ARE EQUIVALENT OR
LESS TOXIC.
IT NEEDS TO BE BROADENED TO
ALLOW ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMS AND
PRODUCTS DESIGNED TO ADDRESS
PARTICULAR HEALTH CONCERNS LIKE
ASTHMA.
OR ALLERGIES ARE IMMUNE SYSTEM
OR HORMONAL INNER LOGICAL TO
SORTERS.
SO AS WE STATED YOU KNOW
PREVIOUSLY MENACE CERTAIN MANY
CERTIFIED PRODUCTS THEY ACTUALLY
EXACERBATE EXACERBATE THESE
HEALTH ISSUES AND CHILDREN.
ARM AND THE FINALLY IS JUST IF.
THEY REALLY NEED TO REMOVE THEIR
TRADEMARK CERTIFICATION
REQUIREMENTS.
THEIR PURPOSE IS UNCLEAR AND
THEY PROVIDE NO PUBLIC HEALTH OR
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS AND THEY
COULD REALLY PREVENT SMALLER
BUSINESSES AND LOWER RISK
PRODUCTS.
FROM THE MARKET BY REQUIRING
VERY EXPENSIVE STEP THAT APPEARS
TO BE NEAT CLOSE SO WE THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND THE
OPPORTUNITY AND WE LOOK FORWARD
TO WORKING WITH YOU.
S. WITNESS OPPOSE.
GOOD EVENING I'M MICHAEL
COMMUNITY ON BEHALF THE
HOUSEHOLD AND COMMERCIAL
PRODUCTS ASSOCIATION --
Y. MA'AM MEMBERS REPRESENTS

RAISE A COUPLE CONCERNS --
POINT ON THE ANALYSIS AROUND

STATED THAT OPPOSITION.
THE REQUESTED AN EXEMPTION FOR
THOSE.
TYPES OF PRODUCTS AYE THAT
EXEMPTION WAS ACTUALLY --
PUT INTO THE CURRENT VERSION OF
THE BILL IN AS PART OF
CONVERSATION TO THE ASSEMBLY
EDUCATION --
NOT NOT WITH THE OPPOSITION --
WE DID HAVE SUGGESTIONS TO HELP
STRENGTHEN NOT LANGUAGE --
ALSO YOU KNOW THE ANNOUNCES THAT
STATE THAT THE THOSE TYPES OF
PRODUCTS SHOULD NOT BE EXEMPTED
BECAUSE THERE ARE DISINFECTANTS
THAT ARE CERTIFIED BY THIRD --
THIRD PARTY CERTIFIER OTHER ARE
ISSUES WITHOUT HOWEVER --
THE USEPA HAS A PROGRAM DESIGNED
FOR THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE PILOT
PROGRAM IT ACTUALLY CEASED --
IT THIS MAY SO THAT SORT OF AND
QUESTION WHETHER THAT WILL EVER
SORT OF COME BACK OR NOT BE A
PILOT PROGRAM --
A BUT INCOME WE NINE PROBABLY
NOT RATE.
S. RATIONS GRANTED --
AND THAT --
THE LAST PRODUCT WAS IN TWENTY
FIFTEEN SO I IN THAT PRODUCT AT
LEAST THERE'S NOT AND THERE'S A
VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF PRODUCTS
THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO
SCHOOLS --
EAGLE LOGO IS ANOTHER PROGRAM
THAT CERTIFIES DISINFECTANTS
HOWEVER THAT THE KIND CANADIAN
PROGRAM PRIMARILY --
SO I'M TOLD THAT MOST OF THE
DISINFECTANTS ON THAT --
REGISTRY ARE NOT RICHARD FOR
SALE IN THE U. LASSO IN ORDER TO
GET REGISTERED IN THE U. S. THEY
WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE US EPA
AND THE NDP ARE SO THAT WOULD
ALSO BE A LENGTHY PROCESS --
AND THEN FURTHER COMPLICATING
MATTERS IF THEY DID DECIDE TO
GET REGISTERED IN THE U. S. AND
THE U. S. GOVERNMENT DOES NOT
RECOGNIZE EAGLE LOGO AS I'M A
CERT PROGRAMS HE WOULD BE
ALLOWED TO PUT IT ON YOUR
PRODUCT LABEL --
SO THAT'S THAT HAVE SORT OF
LIMITED ADOPTION IN THE UNITED
STATES IN TERMS OF ITS NOT
REALLY --
CONSIDERED AN ADVANTAGE TO
MANUFACTURE TO GO SEE
CLASSIFICATION AND HE FOR THAT --
AND THEN I JUST WANNA YOU KNOW.
OUT THERE ARE REASONS WHY
DISINFECTANTS DO EXIST I
RECOGNIZE MAYBE THERE'S CONCERNS --
THAT THEY MIGHT BE USED TOO
BROADLY HOWEVER YOU KNOW THIS
CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL
STILL RECOMMENDS THAT SCHOOLS
JUST IMPACT THEIR CLASSROOMS ONE
F. WILL OUTBREAK THERE'S NUMBER
OF SCHOOLS THAT.
SHUT DOWN --
OVER THIS S. WINNER WHEN THE
WHEN THE FOOD WAS GOING AROUND
SO -- A DO
YOU THINK THEY THEY SERVE AN
IMPORTANT PURPOSE.
OTHERS OPPOSED --

HOW IT'S BEEN ALMOST TEN YEARS
SINCE THE LAST --
SURVEY OF US THERE ARE ADOPTING --
THE LEAST TOIC --
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
PROGRAMS WHO WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY ARE ADOPTING THEM AND
ALSO TO RECOMMEND TO THE
LEGISLATURE.
WHETHER ONE OR MORE PESTICIDES

THIS --
ISSUE CAME UP WELL WHEN A OUR
CHILDREN ARE GETTING SICK IN ONE

FOR EXPANDING AND STRENGTHENING
THE HEALTHIEST BOTH.
PAT AND I KNEW INSTANTLY AND
MURATSUCHI JUST MENTIONED THAT
WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT.
I WANTED TO ALSO MENTION
SOMETHING ELSE.
OF THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF
PESTICIDE REGULATION HAS DONE
SEVERAL.
SURVEYS OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
THE HOCKEY SCHOOL FACT AND
THEY'RE TWENTY TEN SURVEY.
A QUOTE I JUST LIKE TO READ IT
VERY IMPORTANT QUOTE PROCEED
SAYS THE DEPARTMENT DESPITE THE
DP OURS EFFORTS TO DECREASE THE
USE.
OF NON EXEMPT PESTICIDES IN
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DISTRICTS
SURVEYS SINCE TWO THOUSAND AND
FOUR INDICATE NO CHANGE IN THE
PROPORTION OF DISTRICTS THAT USE.
THOSE LEAD LESS DESIRABLE
PESTICIDE PRACTICES.
THE DS TWENTY TEN DPR SURVEY
FURTHER NOTED THAT 82285% OF
DISTRICTS REPORT USING AT LEAST
ONE NON EXEMPT WHICH MEANS NOT
IT'S TOXIC.
AT PRACTICE SO AND THERE'S A
REASON WHY THESE CHILDREN ARE
BEING INJURED.

FROM TRYING TO MAKE IT A LITTLE
BIT INTERESTING AT THE END OF A

KEEP YOUR ATTENTION I STARTED
WITH YOUR STUFF.
FOR WELL BY NOW I HAD TO GET YOU
GUYS IN THE GAME.
SO LOOKED UP THE BOTTOM LINE IS
THIS ALL OF THESE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS ARE GOING TO GET
OUR SUFFRAGIST EXTRAORDINARY
COSTS FOR PUTTING IN THEIR STORM
WATER PERMITS.
AND SO WHAT THE ASSEMBLY MEMBERS
DOING WITH THIS BILL TWENTY FIVE
THIRTY EIGHT IS TO ASK THE WATER
RESOURCES BOARD CONTROL BOARD TO
DEVELOP FINANCIAL COULD A
CAPACITY CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT
GUIDELINES TO ASSIST EACH OF THE
CITIES.
PLACE LIKE HUNTINGTON PARK AT
FORTY NINE MILLION OR CALABASAS
HUNDRED SIXTY SEVEN MILLION AND
TRY THAT REALLY TRYING TO BUILD
A BRIDGE IN DEALING WITH THIS
QUITE SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE
THAT'S WHAT THE BILL DOES.
ASK YOUR VOTE O. GONNA CARL
LEWIS LONG GODLESS OF THE MS
FORCE FINANCIAL I COULD BUILD
THE STILL HAVE TO COMPLY WITH
FEDERAL LAW THE CORRECT AND
THAT'S THAT'S THE GREEN.
WITH THE ANALYSIS GOES THROUGH
WHAT'S THE WAY AND AN
EXPECTATION THAT PEOPLE MAY HAVE
THAT HELP IS ON HER WAY OR WE'RE
GOING TO FIX IT IF YOU CAN
COMPLY WITH FEDERAL LAW YOU'VE
GOT [inaudible]
NOTHING.
AND SO MAYBE YOUR EXPERTS.
ARM.
CAN ADDRESS THAT OF REGARDLESS
WHAT THE REGIONAL BOARDS THEY
WERE STILL BOUND BY FEDERAL LAW
RIGHT THAT'S CORRECT.
ARE MY NAME IS JUDY NELSON I AM
MAYOR PRO TEM FOR THE CITY OF
GLENDORA WHICH IS AN LA COUNTY.
AND I'M ALSO INCOMING CHAIR OF
THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY COUNCIL
OF GOVERNMENTS WATER COMMITTEE
WE REPRESENT THIRTY CITIES
WITHIN THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY.
ALL OF WHOM WHETHER THEY'RE
AFFLUENT OR DISADVANTAGED.
ARE FACING AN IMPOSSIBLE
FINANCIAL BURDEN WITH SMS FOR
PERMIT AND I WILL ANSWER YOUR
QUESTIONS --
DE LA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC WORKS ESTIMATED THE COSTS
FOR ALL OF LA COUNTY AT TWENTY
BILLION DOLLARS.
AND PERCENT GABRIEL VALLEY CITY
SIX BILLION AND MY CITY OF FIFTY
THOUSAND RESIDENTS IN A THREE
PART ME TURN.
THIRTY THREE YES MY CITY WE HAVE
A TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLAR
GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND WE ARE
BURDENED WITH TWO HUNDRED THIRTY
THREE MILLION DOLLARS.
THIS IS OVER A TIME PERIOD
BASICALLY OF THE NEXT TEN YEARS.
IF WE SPEND OUR ENTIRE GENERAL
FUND BUDGET WE COULD NOT COMPLY
WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS.
THIS VERY STRINGENT MS FOUR
PERMIT APPLIES ONLY TO LA COUNTY
RIGHT NOW BUT THE STATE WATER
BOARD HAS INDICATED SERIOUS
INTEREST.
IN IMPLEMENTING IT THROUGHOUT
THE STATE.
CONTRARY WHAT THE TO WHAT THE
BILL ANALYSIS IMPLIES THERE IS
MINIMAL SOURCE FOR FUNDING FOR
MS FORK PARA COMPLIANCE.
MUNICIPALITIES HAVE LIMITED
ABILITY TO RAISE TAXES TO OBTAIN
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
DUE TO PROP TWO EIGHTEEN
RESTRICTIONS AT SENATOR
HERTZBERG VERY WELL NOW THAT WE
FOUGHT LIKE THE DICKENS OVER
THIS.
THEATERS.
IT WASN'T FUN JEFE.
THERE IS A MAN IS MINIMAL STATE
FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR EXAMPLE
THE TWENTY FOURTEEN PROP ONE
WATER BOND ALLOCATED A MERE TWO
HUNDRED THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS
FOR STORM WATER GRANT THROUGHOUT
THE STATE VISITS WITH A TWENTY
BILLION DOLLAR REQUIREMENT AND
LA COUNTY.
LA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL DISTRICT
IS CONSIDERING A SAFE CLEAN
WATER PROPERTY TAX MEASURE FOR
THE NOVEMBER BALLOT IT'S
UNCERTAIN WHETHER THEY WILL
PLACE IT ON THE BALLOT AND IT
REQUIRES A TWO THIRDS VOTE SO
IT'S UNCERTAIN WHETHER IT WOULD.
IF IT DOES PASS THAT TAX WOULD
PROVIDE ABOUT TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION A YEAR.
STILL SHORT OF THE ONE TWO TWO
BILLION DOLLARS THAT WE ARE
FACED WITH.
I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT CITIES
SUPPORT COMPLIANCE WITH THE
WATER QUALITY STANDARDS
ESTABLISHED BY THE REGIONAL
WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD.
AND WE STRIVE TO COMPLY WERE
ASKING FOR REASONABLE PRACTICAL
AND AFFORDABLE WAY TO DO IT. TO
THAT END WE PARTNERED WITH
SENATOR ED HERNANDEZ LAST
SESSION AND WITH ASSEMBLY MEMBER
RUBIO THIS SESSION. TO SUPPORT
LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD REQUIRE
THE STATE WATER BOARD TO DEVELOP
FINANCIAL CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT
GUIDELINES.
THE NC WON'T WAVE OR WEAKENED
STANDARDS BUT IT WILL HELP
COMMUNITIES DEVELOP THE MOST
COST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO MEET
CLEAN WATER ACT OBJECTIVES.
THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO MEET THE
OBJECTIVES BEYOND WHAT WE ARE
REQUIRED TO DO.
WE WANT CLEAN WATER.
WE WANT TO CAPTURE WATER PUSH
FOR RE ASSESS.
BUT WE ARE BEING REQUIRED TO DO
IT IN THE MOST EXPENSIVE
POSSIBLE WAY.
THIS BILL RECEIVED UNANIMOUS
SUPPORT IN THE ASSEMBLY IN THE
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY AND TOXIC
MATERIALS COMMITTEE.
IN THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
AND ON THE ASSEMBLY FLOOR FLOOR
NOT ONE NO VOTE.
AND IN FACTLAST YEAR SENATOR
HERTZBERG EARLIER ADDITION
RECEIVE UNANIMOUS SUPPORT FROM
THIS COMMITTEE.
AND THE SENATE APPROPRIATIONS
COMMITTEE NO OPPOSING VOTES LAST
YEAR.
WHY IS THIS BILL NECESSARY
SENATOR MERT SUCH A SEARCH MERIT
SEARCHING WAS JUST HERE?
HE ARM AS CHAIR OF THE AUDIT
COMMITTEE REQUESTED AN AUDIT OF
THE MS FOUR PERMIT.
IN MARCH THROUGH THE RESULTS OF
THAT AUDIT WERE RELEASED AND IT
CONFIRMED THE IMPOSSIBLE
FINANCIAL BURDEN THAT CITIES ARE
FACING.
LOOKING AT THE COMMITTEE --
AND LOOKS LIKE WE GOT VOTES HERE
SO WE CAN GET THE SHORT ATTACK I
THINK I'VE GOTTEN THE READER FOR
THE MEMBERS THAT THEY WANT TO
VOTE ON THIS AND THEY REALLY GO.
WE CAN JUST ADD IN THE SP TWO
THIRTY ONE AGAIN AND THEN YOU
REALLY GO FOR IT OKAY.
OKAY IS GO WE GET A MOTION WILL
IT SENATOR HERTZBERG THAT BY TH
I AM DONE THANK YOU.
OTHER THANK YOU ARE THERE OTHERS
IN SUPPORT OF AB TWO FIVE THREE
BY RUBIO.
MR OPPOSITION YOU. TWO THREE
JUST MENTION HER NECK TO FIVE
THROUGH REALIZATION WE'RE GONNA
CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING HERE'S
A PROBLEM THAT THE CHAIR HAS.
WE'RE GOING TO SPEND A LOT THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CENTER HURT
HERNANDEZ SPELL DISPELLED ISSUE
SET DEADLINES THE DEADLINE FOR
THE GUIDELINES BY JULY. ONE TWO
THOUSAND NINETEEN YOU COULD HAVE
THE STATE'S GONNA SPEND A LOT OF
MONEY.
DOING THIS FINANCIAL CAPABILITY
ASSESSMENT THAT'S THE FIRST BED
AND WE STILL.
HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE FEDERAL
FOR THE FEDERAL GUIDELINES WAS A
POINTED OUT YOU GOOD AT RUSHED
TO HAVE THE STATE SPEND MONEY
THEY'RE GONNA.
THE DOESN'T IT DOESN'T HAVE A
REQUIREMENT THAT THE LOS ANGELES
REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL
OUR BOARD USE THE GUIDELINES AS
A AS AS A PILOT PROJECT.
IT DOESN'T CONTROL THAT HURT AYE
HERNANDEZ IS DID THIS DIDN'T.
AND IT SPECIFIES THAT THE
GUIDELINES BE ADEQUATE AND
CONSISTENT CONSIDERING THE COST
OF THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS SO SO.
WE GOT A DELTA THIS FAR AND
WE'RE GONNA SPEND A BUNCH OF
MONEY TO ASSESS.
PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO A TO A TO
PAY BUT YOU STILL AT THE END
THAT THEY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH
THE FEDERAL GUIDELINES YES
SWEETIE OR FEE FOR THE ANSWER
DID THE CHAIR ASK FOR THOSE
AMENDMENTS.
THE COMMITTEE ASKED FOR THE MEN
MEN.
SEEMS LIKE THEY'RE DATE AND DATE
IS AMENDED MORE NO AMENDMENTS
BUT THE AYE DAVE WANTED MY
MOTHER RAISING IS.
THAT.
A DATE THAT THE NINE TO JULY ONE
NINETEEN IS.
A DIFFICULT DATA REACHES RIGHT I
UNDERSTAND FROM YOU SAYING
RISING JUST TWO SO RIGHT YES
THAT'S WHAT I MAJOR CITY AND
THEN SO.
I I'M DESTROYING IT.
SOME OF THE LINKS YOU RACED WERE
THINGS THAT.
IT'S NOT FIXABLE SO I GUESS THAT
MY SAN.
WHICH WOULD HAVE LOOKED AT IT
BECAUSE OF CHILDREN.
BUT THE IN THE YEAH PHYSICALLY
ASSUMPTION WAS SUMPTUOUS THAT
SOMEHOW THE THE THE FINANCIAL.
CAPABILITIES ASSESSMENTS GONNA
COME AND SOMEHOW WE'RE GOING TO
FIX IT WE'RE GONNA COME UP WITH
THIS MAGIC WELL YEAH BUT IF I DO
THINK THAT THAT WOULD HAPPEN
GOES IT'LL CITIES RIGHT.
THEY DON'T HAVE ANY CAPACITY WE
HAVE A REPORT IT WAS GIVEN TO ME
BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION.
AND ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS
BY THE OR WHAT'S THE TO DEVELOP
CONSIDER USING FINANCIAL
CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK.
HONORS CLEAN WATER REGULATORY
DECISION MAKING PROCESSES SO
EVEN THOUGH WE'RE GOING TO STILL
HAVE THE REQUIREMENTS I THINK
WITH THIS ASKS IS.
WHAT WHAT WHAT WOULD ASSEMBLY
MEMBER BLANCA RUBIO IS ASKING
FOR IN THIS BILL IS LET'S JUST
TRY TO EAT GOOD TO HAVE THE
RIGHT HAND KNOW WHAT THE LEFT
HAND'S DOING?
AND TO AT LEAST TO PROVIDE SOME
ASSISTANCE BASED UPON WHAT BEST
PRACTICES ARE I END AND CLEARLY
WE'RE GOING TO GET ASSISTANCE
WHAT WE CLEARLY HAVE A PROBLEM
ON THE MONEY.
I THINK THAT THAT YOU KNOW THE
OTHER BORDER SUPERVISOR EVAN
TALK TO ANYBODY THERE BUT I HEAR
IN THE WIND THAT THEY'RE TALKING
ABOUT PUTTING ON A PARCEL TAX.
THE BILL THAT I FOUGHT TO THE
MAYOR FROM GLENDORA ON YEARS AGO
COUPLE YEARS AGO HAD TO DO WITH.
CHARGING A FEE FOR THIS WAS
STORM WATER CLEAN UP IN THE WHAT%
IT WAS WITH THE TO EIGHTEEN OR
NOT.
TO EIGHTEEN AND SO HAS BEEN A
NUMBER OF EFFORTS A FOOT TO TRY
TO DEAL WITH THIS REALLY HUGE
PROBLEM THAT'S FACING ALL OF
THESE VARIOUS CITIES WHERE STORM
WATER RUNS OFF IN THE OCEAN.
AND SO I THINK WHAT THIS IS IS
THAT YOU'RE CORRECT THINK THE
DATES ARE NOT PERFECT BUT IT'S A
START IN TERMS OF GETTING THIS
LEVEL OF COORDINATION WITH THE
SMALL CITIES THAT HERS DON'T
JUST DON'T HAVE THE CAPACITY. TO
TRY TO COORDINATE WITH THE STATE
AND THE LOCAL REGIONAL WATER
QUALITY CONTROL BOARD TO TRY TO
MAKE THIS THING HAPPEN IF
THERE'S MEAN LOOK I DON'T HAVE
THE DETAILS I DON'T WANNA WASTE
COMMITTEES TIME BUT THIS ISSUE
ALSO THE RACE WITH THE AUTHOR.
AND TRY TO GET TAKE CLEANED UP
IN APPROACH I MEAN WE WE KNOW
THAT THE SOME OF THE REGIONAL
PORTS ARE ALREADY DISCUSSING
WITH THE WITH THE OF LOCAL.
CITIES AB ADJUSTMENTS OF THE
TIME FOR IT WE ALSO KNOW THE
CLEAN WATER ACT THAT ALLOW US TO
JUST THE TIME [inaudible]
FOR ALSO THERE'S BAD INFORMATION
OUT THERE THAT PEOPLE ARE.
MAKING PROMISES THAT THE
CALORIES GONNA COME AND SAVE US
WHAT SENATOR WHY BECAUSE IF I
COULD ALSO SAY THE FINANCIAL
CAPABILITY ASSESSMENT WAS
ADOPTED BY THE EPA AND NIGHT IN
NINETEEN NINETY SEVEN THEY
FOLLOW FINANCIAL CAPABILITY
ASSESSMENT WITH.
WITH THEM ENOUGH MUNICIPALITIES
THAT THEY GOVERN.
AND THEY REVISED IT IN TWO
THOUSAND FOURTEEN SO THIS IS
JUST TAKING WHAT THE EPA IS
ALREADY DOING WITH THE PERMITS
THAT THEY OVERSEE.
AND REQUIRING ARE CALIFORNIA
STATE WATER BOARD AND MUNICIPAL
BUT WATER BOARDS TO DO THE SAME
AND IN FACT IT'S NOT AS
COMPLICATED AS THE ONE THAT'S
THE FEDERAL EPA IS USING
[inaudible]
I'M [inaudible]
WELL.
THE CHAIRS UNABLE TO SUPPORT TO
BILL IF THE COMMITTEE WANTS TO
MOVE BUT I THINK THE MOTION THIS.
IT GOES.
TO WHERE DOES IT GO.
APPROACH WHAT YOU GOTTA FORGET
FIX FOR THIS.
YES I HAVE A ONE DOLLAR HIS
STAFF HASN'T.
A RATIONALE FOR WHY YOU HAVE
THAT BY WHICH I MEAN IF YOU
DON'T TAKE IT EUREKA NADIA JUST
LISTEN.
WOULD YOU UNANSWERED WILL HAVE
LEARNED IF THE BILL GETS HOW WE
CAN ADDRESS THEM APPROACH MAY BE
[inaudible]
OKAY ROOSEVELT.
SO THERE'S NO AMENDMENTS BEFORE
RICE OKAY JUST. TO PASS THE
GREATNESS OF HER.
AS ONE OF OUR BRITISH BRIEFLY
SAY.
A I'VE JUST THE CONNECTION WITH
GLENDORA.
AS THE FAMILY PLOTS ARE IN THE
CEMETERY ALSO WILL EVENTUALLY BE
CONSTITUENTS.
I HOPE YOU VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN.
SO NICE TO SEE YOU REPRESENT ME
AMOUNTS FROM PLEASED TO HEAR
THAT SENATOR FLORA [inaudible]
MR [inaudible]
YES. TO JUSTIN AND JUST TO
CLARIFY ON MY MY INTENT BEHIND
THE MOTION --
WE SHOULD NOT BE MAKING FALSE
PROMISES TO OUR CITIES THAT
THERE IS SOME.
MAGIC GET A JAIL FREE CARD OR
WHATEVER MAY BE EVEN THE CLEAN
WATER ACT IS THE CLEAN WATER ACT
[inaudible]
BUT MY HOPE IS THAT.
WITH WHATEVER THIS THESE
GUIDELINES ARE THEY GET PUT
TOGETHER THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY
GONNA HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A
FRAMEWORK IN PLACE TO UNDERSTAND
THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY OF THE
VARIOUS JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE
SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE SO THAT
WHEN.
IDEALLY SOME KIND OF REVENUE
MEASURES COME IN I KNOW SIXTY
EIGHT HAS SOME FUNDING MODEST
FORM WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUSH
FOR MORE I'M STILL HOPING FOR A
BIGGER TO EIGHTEEN REFORM THAT
THERE'S A BIG CONSENSUS ON
PRAYING THAT WHAT IT S. C. A.
EIGHT WHAT WHAT IS LYING.
IN MIND WAS SET CITY THIRTY ONE
WELL.
SO SOME COMBINATION OF FEES OR
IF THE HOMEOWNERS WANT TO STEP
UP AND ACTUALLY GO FOR THE
PARCEL TAX BUT SOME SOME.
I HAVE FINANCING MECHANISM
THROUGH BOTH STATE AND LOCAL
IT'S BIG AYE AYE SURF OUT THERE
I LOVE THAT OCEAN I'M NOT
LOOKING FOR TRASH TO GO OUT TO
THE SALOON UNITY.
AND AND AND I KNOW YOU'RE NOT
EITHER SO I I I I I'M I'M
INTERESTED IN MOVING THIS AND
ACTUALLY SIGNING ON POTENTIAL IS
A CO AUTHOR TO IF THE IF THE
AUTHORS AMENABLE. TO TO SORT OF
JUST START WORKING THROUGH THE
MECHANICS OF HOW TO DISENTANGLE
THIS FINANCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL.
PENDING AND I KNOW JAM THAT OUR
COMMITTEE CHAIR THAT ALL CIRCLE
BACK WITH THE AUTHOR AND AND TRY
TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE OF
TIMING TO FIGURE THAT OUT SHOULD
COORDINATE WITH THE AS A RESULT
PETITIONS YEARS THERE'S A
THERE'S AN ELEMENT ON THE
COMMITTEE THOUGH.
BONO MOMENT OF PREPARATION
COMPLETELY GET BECAUSE YOU'RE
OUT.
NEAR MY CONCERN IS IT'S OKC
DEVELOP THESE NEW GUIDELINES IF
YOU CAN'T.
COMPLY WITH THE GUIDELINES THEN
WHAT.
THE ARE WHICH FURNITURE
CAPABILITY DIED AND WHAT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN IS IS WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN THEY GONNA BACK IN THE TO
GET THE GREEN EYED SHE PEOPLE
GONNA BACK IN THE NUMBERS.
AND THOSE NUMBERS AGAIN TO BE
USED TO SUPPORT WHEN THEY COME
BACK TO THE STATE FOR BONDS AND
WHEN THEY COME UNDER TWO THIRTY
ONE FOR FEES AND THAT'LL BE THE
FRAMEWORK AND SO THIS IS GOING
TO BE THE LEG WORK I THINK.
QUITE FRANKLY TO THEN GO MAKE
THE ASKS WHAT WE NEED FROM
EVERYBODY ELSE AND THEY NEED
HELP TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT
THAT'S THAT'S HOW I SEE THIS
THING.
I COULD BE WRONG THAT'S MY SENSE
THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WE
CAN CHANGE A TIRE FRAMES IF YOU
SEE I'M JUST SAN I MISS ITS IN
LONG BEACH EACH TURN THIRTY FIVE
MILLION BUCKS I KNOW THE MAYOR
DOWN THERE IS A PRETTY
RESOURCEFUL GUY.
IS SHOULD WE TAKE THAT ISSUE
CLOSE CLOSE.
NEXT CASE PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
IT AND NUMBER THIRTY SIX AB
TWENTY FIVE THIRTY EIGHT BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBERS RUBIO.
MOTION IS DUE PASSED THE SENATE
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE BY
KELSEY NO.
NO WAY CAST YOU KNOW STONE.

OKAY THAT HAS FIVE VOTES THE
MATTERS OUT GLASS BILL NAY EVEN.
THINK YOU VERY MUCH APPRECIATED
WHAT NUMBER [inaudible]
THANK YOU [inaudible]
THE SIX WE'LL TAKE THE
AMENDMENTS WHATEVER THEY ARE.
NOT THIS IS THE NATIONAL SOARED
MOVE THE BILL INNOCENT XI DADA
UNITS YOU GOTTA.
THIS ISSUE DUBBED A BILL.
AB SHE LOVED UNCLE SHEET.
SHE IT'S A THAT'S THE OF
PRESIDENT CHINA HE E. BASICALLY
CHANGED THE RULES.
THIS WITH THIS BILL HAS TO DO
WITH WITH REFUGE COLLECTION AND
UNDER THE LAW YOU SAY IN YOUR
ANALYSIS EACH LOCAL JURISDICTION
TO MUSTER.
A DIVERT DIVEST 50% A SOLID
WASTE IN LANDFILLS IN A CERTAIN
75% DIVERTED FROM LANDFILLS BY
TWENTY TWENTY SETS THE STANDARDS.
AND WHAT HAPPENS IS THE BOTTOM
LINE OF THIS BILL IS THAT MOST
OF THAT STUFF IS PICKED UP BY
CHINA.
CHINA NOW HAS CHANGED ITS RULES
ABOUT WHAT THEY CAN TAKE AND SO
THE IDEA IS FOR THE REFUGE
COUNSELOR THAT THE GROUP IS TO
BE ABLE.
TO CONSIDER THAT WHEN THEY LOOK
AT THE NEW RULES BECAUSE SUCH A
BIG PIECE OF YOUR OF YOUR
RECYCLING GOES TO CHINA AND
REALLY IF YOU HAVE A REAM OF
FIVE HUNDRED PAPERS IN.
AS OUR CALLER PAPER THEY WON'T
TAKE IT INTO THE RULES SO IT
LOOKS LIKE IT'S HAS TO DO WITH
WITH ENVIRONMENT BUT HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH THE ENVIRONMENT IT'S
A TRADE WAR WITH THE WHITE HOUSE
AND SO I REST MY CASE.
SUNSETS JANUARY ONE TWENTY
TWENTY FIRST WITNESS.
JOSH PAWN AND WE HAVE THE
CALIFORNIA REFUSE RECYCLING
COUNCIL A HUNDRED COMPANIES THAT
DO THIS BUSINESS FOR ABOUT THREE
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
JURISDICTIONS AND STATE.
AND I'LL JUST MAKE.
ONE POINT TO YOU BY THE 85% OF
THE MIXED PAPER THAT CHINA WAS
TAKING.
EQUALS SIX POINT FOUR MILLION
TONS OF ORGANIC FIBER EACH YEAR
SIX POINT FOUR MILLION.
I CENTER LARA HAD A BILL LAST
YEAR THAT WE SUPPORTED TO GET
TWENTY MILLION TONS OF ORGANICS
OUT OF THE LANDFILL A YEAR.
SO THIS IS SIX POINT FOUR
MILLION UP ORGANIC PAPER THAT
WAS GOING TO CHINA AND NOW
THEY'VE CLOSED THE DOOR.
ON US I'M SO BY RIVERSIDE ICE
AND MEMBERS WHERE THERE'S A
MODEST EFFORT.
TRY TO MAKE MAKE THAT --
NOW OF THE NATIONAL SORT
CONSIDERATION THIS IS IS RATHER
FAKE AND YOU THINK.
THIS SHOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH A
DIRECTION TO CAL RECYCLING
INDUSTRY NO.
A WON DISPOSING RESPECT
MATERIALS PERMISSIBLE AND WHEN
IT'S NOT IN WE SORT OF STUCK
WITH IT BUT DOES IT.
IS IT MEANINGFUL DIRECTION GAP
YES WE THINK IT'S MEANINGFUL
KELLER CYCLE HAS A PROCESS IN
