WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS THANK YOU FOR THAT
SENATOR MORLOCK.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR ONE OF THE
PROVISIONS OF SB ONE WAS.
TO PROVIDE FOR A HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS INEFFICIENCIES ARE WE
DOING ON ON THAT.
PARTNERED PART OF FINANCE ON THE
THE DEPARTMENT TO IS WORKING
WITH THE AGENCY.
THERE.
PROVIDER REPORTS I DON'T HAVE A
THE A COPY OF THAT THE LATEST
UPDATED REPORT BUT THEY ARE
ACHIEVING THEM.
AND WE SO WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY
TO GIVE PAY RAISES THEN WERE
DOING SO WELL.
WELL THEY DIDN'T NEGOTIATED YOU
KNOW CONTRACTS ARE SO.
YEAH ASSIST THIS IS WHERE THE
LANDOWNER HAVE TO COMPARE WHAT.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S IT ENGINEERS
MAKE COMPARED TO WHAT.
LOCAL A PRIVATE SECTOR ENGINEERS
MAKE IN ORDER TO RETAIN TALENT.
ARE WE ALSO GIVING RAISES TO
MANAGERS.
NON BARGAINING UNIT MEMBERS.
THIS WOULD INCLUDE HOUND
ASSOCIATE INCREASES WITH NON
RANK AND FILE --
EMPLOYEES AS WELL TO MAINTAIN
COMPACTION.
I'M JUST CONCERNED ABOUT THE
OPTICS WE JUST VOTED DE.
HERE IN SACRAMENTO TO RAISE THE
GAS TAX AND NOW WE'RE GIVING
RACES SO TO GET THAT CREATES A
CYNICISM.
THAT WHEN YOU REYES ATTACKS IT'S
NOT GONNA GO TO ROADS JUST GONNA
GO.
TO PENSIONS AND SALARIES AND
BENEFITS AND I THINK WE'VE GOT
TO BE CAREFUL MADAM CHAIR THAT
WE'RE NOT SENDING A MESSAGE --
BECAUSE WE ARE WEAKER MANAGER WE
CAN ALSO DISCUSS SOMETIME THE
CELL PHONES PUBLIC SAFETY.
SPECIAL TAX INCREASES WELL ARE
WE DISCUSSED THAT BILL ON IN
COMMITTEE OF READY SIR I THINK
THAT NEXT POINT WILL BE OUT
WHETHER NOT IT.
WILL HERE ON THE FLOOR ON THE
FLOOR BUT I THINK GETTING TO
YOUR PREVIOUS POINT IN TERMS OF
YOU KNOW THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT
AND INCREASING THE TAX --
TO SUPPORT.
TRANSPORTATION ROADS I MEAN THE
ROLE OF GOVERNMENT TO DO THE
WORK IT TAKES PEOPLE TO DO THE
WORK AND SO --
I THINK IT'S MPORTANT TO BE
CONNECT THE DOTS WERE CLEAR THAT
IF WE DON'T HAVE THE ENGINEERS
IN PLACE AND WHO WILL DO THE
WORK.
BUT WE HAVE TO AND I AND I WOULD
ALSO SAY THAT S. B. ONE DOLLARS
YOU KNOW THAT I THINK THIS
NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT THE SIMO
YOU WHAT'S AND CONTINGENT UPON
THOSE DOLLARS.
IT'S A PART OF GOOD THAT'S CRAP
NEGOTIATIONS THAT DOES SCRIPT
CRACK TO REFUTE YEARS THESE
NEGOTIATIONS HAPPEN AND THIS IS
JUST THIS PART OF THAT I WOULD
ALSO NOTE THAT IN TERMS OF THE
SP ONE REVENUES AT ABROAD AND
NONE OF THEM WOULD BE USED TO
FUND THIS.
IMPORTANT POINT YOU HAVE ANOTHER
QUESTION FOR HIM TO HAVE OTHER
PEOPLE CAN THAT MADAM CHAIR THAT
THE OPTICS ARE GOOD.
AT THIS TIME I'M NOT A POLICE
AYE MAJOR BUT I'M JUST.
KIND OF SANITY I BE CAREFUL
ABOUT ABOUT THIS AND IT MAKES
YOU WONDER WHETHER OR NOT WE
SHOULD BE APPROVING A CELL TAX
IF IT'S JUST GONNA BE THINK IT
REQUIRES A POLY SCI DEGREE TO
UNDERSTAND THAT IT TAKES PEOPLE
TO ACTUALLY DO THAT WORK IN
THOSE ARE GOVERNMENT.
EMPLOYEES TO ENGAGE IN THAT
GOVERNMENT PROJECT YOU HAVE
ANOTHER QUESTION FOR HIM BECAUSE
I HAVE A GOOD MEMBERS CUED UP
WITH THAT I WILL JUST ASK ONE
THAT'S QUESTION --
WITH THE ILIO IN MARCH OF A MAY
OF TWENTY FOURTEEN SAID THAT
THERE WERE THREE FIVE HUNDRED
ENGINEERS TOO MANY ANY AS I
CHANGED.
WELL THE ADMINISTRATION IS NEVER
AGREED WITH A NUMBER --
WE HAVE --
OVER INNOCENCE I THINK THE
HEIGHT PHONE BUT THAT THE HEIGHT
OF CALTRANS WORK ON A AN
ENGINEERING STAFFING FOLLOWING
PASSAGE OF TWO THOUSAND OF A
PROPOSITION ONE BE BACK IN --
TWO THOUSAND SIX I THINK A THE
DEPARTMENT DID.
DROP -- I
WANT TO SAY IN THE RANGE OF I.
TWO THOUSAND TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED
POSITIONS --
FROM A TIGHT.
AND AS IT ARM AND NOW AS YOU
KNOW.
SP ONE OR THE NEW WORKLOAD COMES
AND THEY THE ONLY TO WRAP UP
AGAIN.
THANK YOU MANAGER THANK YOU
SENATOR BILL.
WELL I JUST COUPLE POINTS SO --
THOSE THE LAWS THAT WE HAVE ON
ON THE TABLE RIGHT NOW WHICH THE
CENTER HAS ALREADY PROVED
INCLUDING THE REPUBLICAN
COLLEAGUES --
THAT WE HAD REGARDING --
PRIVATE PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS IN
CONTRACTING FOR CALTRANS SO.
CONSTRUCTION --
AND SO THE POTENTIAL. TWO SAVE
THE STATE.
HAN TENS OF THOUSANDS TENS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ANNUAL
BASIS PROBABLY OVER TIME.
HUNDREDS AND MAYBE MILLIONS
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OVER TIME IN
TERMS OF CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE
BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE DOING IS
WE'RE DEVELOPING.
A PROCESS THAT --
GENERATES EFFICIENCY AND
ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION
MANAGEMENT AND COMPLETION OF
PROJECTS ON TIME AND ON BUDGET
SO.
SO -- THAT'S
PART OF THE HUNDRED I JUST WANT
TO SAY THAT THAT.
WE'VE ALREADY THERE'S ALREADY
BEEN STEPS TAKEN.
AND I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT
WITH BILL CHIEF AT LEAST THIS
YEAR AT LEAST A HARDER MILLION
PROBABLY MANY MANY MORE DOLLARS.
THEN DOUBT INEFFICIENCIES.
IT ARE THE SECOND SAYING --
I WOULD SAY IS IF YOU LOOK AT
THE PAY SCALES OF BOMB THE STAFF
FOLLOW WORKING ON THESE PROJECTS --
FIRST OF ALL THE HEAD OF
CALTRANS MAKES ABOUT AS MUCH AS
A IN MID LEVEL CITY --
PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR.
AND THE CALTRANS STAFF --
MAKES WORDS ORANGE COUNTY
PROBABLY PAID YOUR PUBLIC WORKS
PEOPLE. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.
THEY'RE PICKING THEIR GET THE
SAME PAY TODAY AS THOSE COUNTIES
WERE AID FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.
SO IT SEEMS SEEMS TO ME THAT --
THE PROBLEM IT'S TRYING TO BE
ADDRESSED WITH DISEMBOWEL YOU
WITH THE LONGEVITY PAY AND SO
FORTH.
IS TO RETAIN THE STAFF THAT CAN
DELIVER THE PROJECTS ON TIME AND
ON BUDGET.
SO THOSE STAFF FOR THE ONES WE
NEED THE ONES WITH THE TALENT
THE ONES WITH EXPERIENCE THE
ONES THAT CAN COMPLETE THOSE
PROJECTS.
ON TIME AND ON BUDGET AND THAT'S
THE KIND OF STAFF WE NEED A
CALTRANS WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE A
HUGE TURN OVER RIGHT NOW.
WHERE IT'S --
THE PROJECT THE PROJECTS WERE
TRYING TO DEVELOP THOSE PROJECTS
ARE REPAIR PROJECTS A BRIDGE
PROJECTS.
WE ALL WANT THEM TO A COMPLETE
THOSE PROJECTS ON TIME AND ON
BUDGET SO --
SIX TO ME THIS IS A VERY LOGICAL
THING TO DO AND IN TERMS OF A
MANAGEMENT APPROACH. TO RETAIN
STAFF AND AND I WOULD I WOULD
MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL
APPRECIATE THAT ANY FURTHER
QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE ON
SEEING NONE WE HAVE A MOTION

GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
SON JEFF BELL FROM DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE --
TO JUST VERY BRIEFLY COVER A
COUPLE OF THE AMENDMENTS THAT
HAVE -- BEEN
MADE TO EIGHT P. EIGHTEEN FORTY
SINCE THE LAST TIME WE MET --
IT JUST HAS A COUPLE CHANGES TO
IT IT HAS --
DE AN ADJUSTMENT THAT ALLOWS FOR
DISTRICTS TO USE THEIR EMERGENCY
APPORTIONMENT LOANS TO USE THOSE
PROCEEDS FOR SURPLUS PROPERTY
SALES. TO PAY DOWN THOSE
OUTSTANDING BALANCES AND IT HAS
SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THEIR
PARTICIPATION.
AND THE SCHOOL FACILITIES
PROGRAM I WILL BE HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY
HAVE [inaudible]
QUESTIONS COLLEAGUES.
SENATOR JACKSON'S I JUST --
GOING TO I BELIEVE IT'S SO.
EIGHTEEN FORTY WERE ON RIGHT NOW
YES MA'AM SO FAR ON ITEM EIGHT
WE DID DISCUSS THIS LAST TIME
I'M I'M DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THE
NEW.
COMMUNITY COLLEGE FUNDING
FORMULA --
ITEM.
CONTINUES --
TO REFERRED TO COMMITTEE
ASSISTING A CONSISTING OF TWELVE
MEMBERS FOR FROM THE GOVERNOR
FOR FROM.
THESE ASSEMBLY AND SENATE IT
THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE A STUDENT
I THOUGHT WE WERE PRETTY --
ADAMANT THAT THAT THIS NEW A
BOARD SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE A
STUDENT AND IT HAS NOT YET EVEN
IN THAT LANGUAGE DID NOT CHANGE
THAT SECTION OF THE BILL RIGHT
AND I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS MY
DISAPPOINTMENT THAT.
WE STILL ARE NOT RECOGNIZING THE
IMPORTANCE OF OF PUTTING A SLOT
IN THERE FOR STUDENTS.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
SENATOR MORLOCK.
VENTURE I'M I'M JUST CURIOUS ON
THE FOUR DISTRICTS OF THAT ARE
NOW ABLE TO USE THE PROCEEDS
FROM THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY.
WHERE THEY ALWAYS ALLOWED HIS IS
IN EVERY DISTRICT ALLOWED TO
SELL PROPERTY?
YES THAT DID THE ADJUSTMENT IS
ARE ALLOWED TO USE THESE
PROCEEDS TO PAY DOWN THEIR LOANS
SO THAT'S THE ADJUSTMENT THAT
YOU SEE AS PART OF THIS PROPOSED.
AND I'M JUST CURIOUS WHY WHY
WEREN'T THEY GIVEN THAT ABILITY
BEFORE IT'S JUST HASN'T BEEN
PART OF THE EXISTING STATUTES SO
WHAT WE'RE SUGGESTING IS WHILE
THEY HAVE AN EMERGENCY
APPORTIONMENT.
SHOULD THEY BE YEAH I HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY SURPLUS PROPERTY
THEY USE THOSE THOSE PROCEEDS TO
PAY DOWN THEIR LOANS.
OKAY SO JUST SELLER ALL
TECHNICAL CLARIFICATION THEN
WELL IT'S AN ADDITIONAL COVERAGE
HERE THAT WE'RE ADDING TO
STATUTE IT IS ALREADY STIFF YES
TO GET DISTRICTS THERE.
OAKLAND I SEE IS ISLAMIST.
I DID A RANKING OF OUR DISTRICTS
BASED ON THEIR UNRESTRICTED NET --
ASSETS ARE DEAD OR GOVERNOR SAID
IN.
OPEN IN INGLEWOOD HER SORT OF
YOU KNOW THE TOP.
BY MAYBE AT THE WITH THE TO THE
TWO THIRDS MARK SO THEY'RE NOT.
IN TERRIBLE SHAPE BUT THIRD
TOUGH SHAPE PRIED OPEN OF COURSE
AS WE CONSIDER GOING TO CUT
THEIR SPORTS PROGRAM FOR FOR FOR
WOMEN AND IN THE FEMALES IN IN
THE SCHOOL BUT HOW THEY DO HAVE
ONE OF THE LARGEST UNRESTRICTED
NET DEFICITS IN THE STATES ARE.
I'M JUST CURIOUS AS THEY WORK
WITH FISCAL CRISIS MANAGEMENT
ASSISTANCE TEAM ARE WE
REBUILDING A TEMPLATE.
THE CAN HELP ALL THE DISTRICTS
BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME SERIOUS.
FISCAL ISSUES WITH ARE DISTRICTS
AND THEY'RE GONNA GET WORSE SAYS.
YES AND XIN COSTS INCREASE.
YES WE ARE AS IN I THINK IT'S
WHO HAS AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED WE
WE ARE INTENDING TO IMPROVE.
THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH
DISTRICTS THEM FALLING INTO A
CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THEY WOULD
FIND THEMSELVES IN NEED.
OF THESE KIND OF TOOLS AND SO AS
AS PART OF THAT PACKAGE AND I
THINK IT'S PART OF THE PACKAGE
THAT YOU SEE IN THE LEGISLATION
AS WE SEE FISCAL CRISIS
MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS TEAM WORKING
WITH DISTRICTS. TO ADDRESS THOSE
KIND OF CIRCUMSTANCES PRIOR TO
THE NEED FOR SOMETHING LIKE YOU
SEE IN THIS SPECIFIC PACKAGE FOR
THE SPECIFIC DISTRICTS WHERE
WHEN THEY SELL.
THEIR PROPERTIES THEY'RE ABLE TO
USE THOSE PROCEEDS TO PAY DOWN
THE ROAD LONGTON AND THAT'S WHAT
YOU SEE.
UP BUILT INTO THIS STATUTE
BEFORE YOU.
AND AND YOU SEE MAY BE GIVING
MORE FUNDING THE FACT MATT.
IN AND SAY NEXT YEAR IN TWO
YEARS DEAL WE DID THIS YEAR AND
WE AND AND AND WE WILL CERTAINLY
EXAMINE THE NEED AS WE EXAMINE
EACH EACH BUDGET AND EACH
SUCCESSIVE FISCAL YEAR.
THANK YOU THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
THANK YOU ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS
ON THE AMENDMENT SENATOR STERN
AYE YES THING MEN CHAIR.
JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON SENATOR
JACKSON'S --
INQUIRY ZERO PARTICULAR
RATIONALE BEHIND THE THE LACK OF
SPECIFICITY THERE.
IN TERMS OF STUDENT
REPRESENTATION --
WITHIN THE COMMITTEE WE WE DID
WE DID.
HERE YOU AND OUR PREVIOUS
CONVERSATIONS WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN

SPECIFICALLY --
SELECTING MEMBERSHIP AND SO WE
WE DID HEAR YOU IN THE LAST
HEARING WE WE DID.
UNDERSTAND YOUR CONVERSATION BUT

GONE THROUGH THE SELECTION
PROCESS YET THANK YOU FOR YOUR
COMMENTS YES OF COURSE AND
THROUGH THEIR STILL DISCRETION
TO DO SO.
THAT WE HAVE WE HAVE NOT DONE
ANY NOT SPECIFIC IN THE LANGUAGE
BUT THEY'RE STILL THE
ADMINISTRATION STILL WOULD YOU
KNOW WE HAVE WE HAVE NOT DONE
ANY OF THAT PROCESS GONE THROUGH
ANOTHER AWESOME THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS
[inaudible]
SENATOR GLAZER.
BOB THANK YOU AND JUST TO STAY
ON THAT POINT FOR A MOMENT SO
WHAT'S THE DISCRETION.
I MEAN.
YOU SET UP A STRUCTURE AND YOU
SET UP THERE'S REPRESENTATION.
THAT'S REQUIRED SO I'M JUST
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU
SAY THERE'S ABILITY TO HAVE
DISCRETION WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN
THERE.
EACH EACH ONE OF THE SELECTED
ORGANIZATIONS THE LEGISLATURE
AND THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH WILL BE
ABLE TO SELECT MEMBERSHIP OF FOR
FRAZIER PARTICIPATION SO THE ARE
YOU ANTICIPATING TO HAVE THE
ADMINISTRATION'S REPRESENTED BE
AT LEAST ONE OF THEM BE A
STUDENT IS THAT.
I'VE NOT MADE ANY COMMITMENT AND
ANY.
ON ON ON ANY LEVEL I'VE LISTENED
HAS HAS REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION WE'VE HEARD YOU.
AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS
AND I WILL TAKE THOSE BACK TO
THE ADMINISTRATION WE JUST BE
NICE IF YOU COULD COME FORWARD
AND SAY WE HEARD YOU AND WE'RE
GONNA COMMIT THAT HAVING ONE OF
OUR SLOTS BE STUDENT THAT'S REAL
THAT'S CONCRETE.
AND REALIZE THERE'S NOT YOU'RE
NOT REALLY NOT SATISFYING ARE
CONCERNED YOU'RE SAYING HE LIT
YOU'VE HEARD IT.
BUT YOU'RE NOT COMING IN WITH
ANY KIND OF SPECIFICS THERE.
I UNDERSTAND I'M COMING BACK AND
TELLING ME THAT I HEAR YOUR GUY
HERE YOU'RE CONCERNED I'LL TAKE
THAT BACK TO THE ADMINISTRATION
OKAY.
PALM ON IS DIFFERENT SUBJECT I
WANT TO GO BACK TO THE LOANS.
I KNEW THIS BILL AND WE ADDED TO
SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT WEREN'T
THERE BEFORE SOUTH MONTEREY
COUNTY OR VALLEJO OVER THOSE IN
ORIGINALLY I JUST MISSED IT WERE
IN ORIGINALLY OKAY [inaudible]
AND NOW OAKLAND HAS BEEN UNDER
RECEIVERSHIP ALL FOR THESE UNDER
RECEIVERSHIP BY THE STATE YES.
OKAY AND HOW LONG IS OAKLAND IT
UNDER REPACKING YOU GO THROUGH
HOW LONG LIVE THERE THEY'VE BEEN
UNDER RECEIVERSHIP BY THE STATE
EACH ONE OF THESE.
I THOUGHT I READ SOMEWHERE THAT
OPENS BEEN UNDER RECEIVERSHIP
FOR FIFTEEN YEARS THAT.
THAT I DON'T HAVE THE SPECIFIC
YEAR WITH ME --
THAT SOUNDS ROUGHLY.
ABOUT THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF TIME
HIGH I WOULD HAVE TO GET OUT
THROUGH EACH ONE OF THESE AND
TELL ME WHAT HOW LONG THEY'VE
BEEN UNDER STATE.
OVERSIGHT.
YOU HEALTH NURSE WITH HIM OKAY
SO STATE OVERSIGHT IS CONTINGENT
UPON THERE'S THEIR SEAT OF THE
EMERGENCY APPORTIONMENT SO.
KIND GOING INTO THE WEEDS FOR
INGLEWOOD UNIFIED THEY RECEIVED.
THEIR APPORTIONMENT AND TWENTY
TWELVE THE BEEN UNDER STATE.
RECEIVERSHIP SINCE THEN STOP
MONTEREY RCEIVED THEIR LOAN AND
TWO THOUSAND NINE VALLEJO
RECEIVED THEIR LAW AND INTO
DOESN'T.
FOR AND OAKLAND RECEIVED THEIR
LAN IN.
TWO THOUSAND THREE SO I GUESS
THE QUESTION THAT COMES TO MY
HEAD IT LEASES THAT THAT THESE
HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS HAVE BEEN
UNDER OUR SUPERVISION FOR UP TO
FIFTEEN SIXTEEN YEARS WITH
OAKLAND VALLEJO OF THIRTEEN
YEARS I MEAN THESE ARE LONG
PERIODS OF TIME.
AND IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT
THAT MEANS EVERY EXPENDITURE HAS
TO GO THROUGH THE SOME STATE
OVERSIGHT OR CAN YOU EXPLAIN
THEN WHAT THAT MEANS STAFF STATE
OVERSIGHT.
SUBSTANTIAL US FOR TWO TYPES OF
OVERSIGHT SO WHEN WE FIRST
RECEIVED THEIR PORTION AND IF
IT'S ABOUT 2100% OF THEIR AND
SUGGESTED RESERVE.
DIEGO UNDER STATE ADMINISTRATOR
AND SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT
THERE BOARD LOSES THEIR
AUTHORITY IN THE STATE
ADMINISTRATOR HAS THE AUTHORITY
UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE
STATE SUPERINTENDENT. TO MAKE
BUDGETARY DECISIONS AND OTHER
DECISIONS THAT THE POINT WOULD
USUALLY MAKE ONCE AND TAKE
MATTERS REVIEW OF FIVE SPECIFIED
AREAS OF THE DISTRICT LIKE HR OR
ACADEMICS VETERE --
ONCE IT'S BEEN DETERMINED NO BY
THE STANDARDS AND CRITERIA
THAT'S BEEN ADOPTED THAT DAVE
COULD HAVE MET THOSE STANDARDS
THAT THEY WOULD THEN THE BOARD
WHAT.
I'M RESUME AUTHORITY AND UNDER
THAT.
SCENARIO THAN THEY WOULD BE --
GRANTED IT'S TRUSTEE SO UNDER
THE TRUSTEE AT THE BOARD WOULD
HAVE TO HAVE AUTHORITY.
BUT AND THAT TRUSTEE WOULD HAVE
STEROIDS AND AUTHORITY FOR BOARD
ACTIONS.
SO NEEDS FOR CASES IS IT UNDER A
TRUST YEARS IS TO WONDERFUL
STATE AUTHORITY WITH THE BOARD'S
LOST CONTROL OF THE BUDGET THE
INGLEWOOD IS UNDER STATE
ADMINISTRATORS THAT THE BOARD
HAS LOST ITS ALREADY AND NOT
DISTRACTED THE OTHER DISTRICTS
ARE UNDER STATE TRUSTEE WHERE
THE BOARD HAS TE AUTHORITY.
BUT THAT TRUSTEE HAS PASSED IN
EITHER OF THESE CASES IT SEEMS
LIKE THE STATE HAS A SIGNIFICANT
ROLE TO PLAY IN TERMS OF THE
BUDGET [inaudible]
I GUESS.
BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY THE
QUESTION BEFORE US TODAY IS THAT
WHY ARE WE STILL HAVE IN YOUR
CIRCUMSTANCE WHEN WE'VE.
TAKEN AUTHORITY AWAY FROM THESE
BOARDS.
AND THAT WE HAVE DIRECTOR YOU
KNOW RESPONSIBILITY AND IN MANY
OF THESE CASES WERE WIRED WHY IS
THERE NOT BEEN THAT TOUGH BUDGET
DECISIONS MADE SO WE ARE NOT IN
THIS CIRCUMSTANCE OF HAVING. TO
PROVIDE LOANS.
I MEAN A FIFTEEN SIXTEEN YEARS
LATER.
YOU KNOW I THINK IN IN THE IN
THE CASES DOWN THERE OVER THE
HISTORY THERE'S THERE'S BEEN A
VARIETY OF CIRCUMSTANCES IN EACH
IN EACH DISTRICT.
IN THE IN THE IN THE SPECIFIC
CASE OF INGLEWOOD THAT'S WHERE
WE STILL HAVE RECEIVERSHIP WHERE
THERE ARE.
AS DECISIONS BEING MADE WHERE
THAT STATE HAS A GREATER HAND
PERHAPS THAN IN SOME OF THE
OTHER DISTRICTS.
AND WE ARE TAKING STEPS AS PART
OF THIS PROCESS TO PROVIDE A
GREATER LEVEL.
OF ASSURANCE THAT STE TOM.
HE'S A MORE RIGOROUS LEVEL OF
REVIEW IS HAPPENING AT THE STATE
LEVEL GOING FORWARD I THINK
THAT'S PART OF THE PACKAGE.
THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU TODAY IS
OUR NOTICE OF PERHAPS THE NEED
FOR GREATER REVIEW.
AND A STRONGER LEVEL OF A
COMMITMENT. TO MAKING THOSE --
MAY KEEP TAKING THOSE STEPS TO
MAKE AS PART OF THIS PROCESS
WHEREBY WE ASK FOR BENCHMARKS
WITH THE RESOURCES THAT WE'RE
COMMITTING.
TO WHICH WE ARE.
AS PART OF THIS PACKAGE.
WE'RE ALSO SUGGESTING A GREATER
LEVEL OF COMMITMENT TO
BENCHMARKS FOR THE DISTRICTS.
RESOURCES THAT COME WITHOUT AND
A GREATER LEVEL OF REVIEW FROM
THE STATE GOING FORWARD BECAUSE
WE SEE IS YOUR AS YOUR PERHAPS
SUGGESTING.
THAT THERE IS A NEED TO TAKE A
LOOK AT THE PROCESS THAT WE HAVE.
AND SAY THIS NEEDS PERHAPS A
STRONGER LEVEL OF REVIEW BECAUSE
IT'S BEEN A NUMBER OF YEARS.
AND MAYBE IT NEEDS TO HAVE A IN
OTHER ANOTHER REVIEW THAT
PROCESS SO WE ARE AND THAT IS
PART OF WHAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU
TODAY.
MANAGER JUST IN MY CLOTHES ON
THIS I KNOW THE ONE THING NINE
OF US WANT IS TO HAVE THE KIDS
WE HEARD --
BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAYBE
THE ADULTS I HAVE CREATED IT'S A
DISAPPOINTING THAT AFTER SO MANY
YEARS WE SEEM TO HAVE NOT GOTTEN
OURSELVES OUT OF A PROBLEM IN
THESE PLACES.
S. JUSTIFIES THE LANGUAGE THAT'S
BEFORE US FOR THESE ADDITIONAL
LOANSSO IT CERTAINLY WILL
SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY.
BUT I I HOPE THAT I HOPE WE THE
ADULTS CAN DO A BETTER JOB SO
THAT NONE OF OUR KIDS ARE
DISADVANTAGED BY THANK YOU SIR
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS
[inaudible]
SENATOR ROTH.
I HATE TO DO THIS BUT AS ONE OF
FLOOR LOS MINOR [inaudible]
BECAUSE ME NOW PAID TO DO THIS
BUT AYE AYES MAYBE YOU SAID THIS
AND I COULDN'T HEAR IT IT IS
THEIR UP A GET WELL PLAN FOR
THESE.
DISTRICTS WITH A BEGINNING AND
AN END DATE WITH THE SERIES OF
STEPS THAT NEED TO HAPPEN.
AND BY TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY
FIVE THE GREEN LIGHT GOES ON AND
WE STEP BACK IN THEIR OPERATING.
THANKS FOR THAT THEY ARE QUITE
AN INTELLIGENT QUESTION AND IT
ISN'T IT MAY BE.
A MISTER GLAZER RESEARCH GLAZER
ASKED THAT AND AND YOU GOT YOU
GOT.
YOUR BUT I DIDN'T IT'S OKAY YES
THANK YOU SENATOR ROTH THAT IS
THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION AND NOT.
THE ANSWER IS YES IN IN EACH ONE
OF THE CASES IN BOTH OF FOUR
INGLEWOOD UNIFIED IN FOR OAKLAND
UNIFIED WE HAVE SUGGESTED A PATH.
OF SEVERAL YEARS WHERE BY THE
LEVEL OF STATE RESOURCES THAT
COME WITH THE PACKAGE HAS A
SERIES OF BENCHMARKS ASSOCIATED
WITH IT SO THAT.
IN IN EACH ONE OF THE DISTRICTS
CASES THEY'RE GETTING PROVIDED A
PATH TO RECOVERY.
AND WITHOUT A SERIES OF
BENCHMARKS THAT WALKS THEM INTO
STRONGER AND STRONGER FISCAL
HEALTH.
AND LESS STATE UNLESS STATE
[inaudible]
ASSISTANCE TWO WHEREBY THEY
INCREASE THEIR STE THEIR
RESERVES THERE'D THEIR DISTRICT
RESERVES.
PAGE STRENGTHENED THE HEALTH OF
THE DISTRICT ITSELF.
AND THEY WALK INTO A STRONGER
AND STRONGER FISCAL --
THERE'S THEY'RE STRONGER
FISCALLY OVER NEXT SEVERAL YEARS
AND WALK OUT OF THE NEED FOR
STATE ASSISTANCE AND THE NEED
FOR OF A LOAN ESSENTIALLY PAIN
DOWN THERE ALONE.
AND IF THE SURPLUS PROPERTY
PIECE THAT YOU SEE IS SHOULD
THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY ARE
OR SELL PROPERTY THEY USE THOSE
PROCEEDS TO PAY DOWN THAT WON'T
EVEN FASTER.
SO THERE'S KIND OF A COME
COMBINED PACKAGE HERE
STRENGTHENING THEIR FISCAL HAND.
PAYING DOWN THE LOAN FASTER AND
BEING ABLE THIS BEING ABLE TO
GET A STRONGER OVERALL OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL YEARS IN THE BEEN
THE PACKAGE PROVIDES THAT WELL
IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S SORT OF A
SOFT TOUCH APPROACH I MEAN
APPARENTLY THE TRAIN MOST OF
ROLLED OFF THE TRACK A COUPLE.
TIMES WITH SOME OF THESE
DISTRICTS FOR THE PROCESS TO
HAVE TAKEN SO LONG.
AND AND SUGGESTION JESTING IS
PROBABLY NOT THE WORD I WOULD
USE.
AFTER A CERTAIN POINT IN TIME
I'M ALL FOR LOCAL CONTROL BUT AT
SOME POINT.
I MEAN DON'T WE HAVE.
TO SLIPPIN AND TAKE THE REINS
AND I THINK WHAT YOU SEE IS WE
ALREADY HAVE A BIT PASSED A A
PACKAGE THAT HAS A BUT YOU ALSO
GETTING BACK TO WHAT SENATOR
GLAZERS SUGGESTED.
WERE TRYING TO ENSURE THAT WHILE
WE'RE DOING THAT WE'RE ALSO
DOING NO HARM TO STUDENTS OR DO
YOU NO HARM IN THE DISTRICT AND
WE'RE ENSURING THAT THEY CAN
MEET THE NEEDS OF THEIR STUDENTS.
SO WHILE ENSURING WE DO NOT
DIMINISH THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO
SERVE THE KIDS IN THIS IN THE
CLASSROOM.
WHERE ENSURING THAT THEY'RE
MAKING THE BUDGETARY CHOICES
THEY NEED TO MAKE AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL?
PROVIDING THE RESOURCES THAT
THEY NEED TO MAKE ON A GLIDE
PATH TO FISCAL SOLVENCY.
INCREASING THEIR RESERVES.
AND AND AT THE SAME TIME DOING
THAT IN A MANNER THAT ENSURES
THAT THERE IMPROVING THE RESULTS
IN THE CLASSROOM.
SO IT'S A COMBINED PACKAGE THAT
WE'VE COME TOGETHER WITH AND WE
THINK MAKES THE MOST SENSE BUT
I'M SURE THIS WILL HAVE TO BE A
SUBJECT TO FURTHER DISCUSSION IN
A DIFFERENT FORM SO.
JOHN I WILL LOVE SHUT MY MOUTH
AND THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR WILL
BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANY
ASSISTANCE IN THAT CONVERSATION
BEFORE WE GO TO CENTER SKINNER
LET'S HEAR FROM THE LA SHOW.
SENT JENNIFER CAN ALEJO I JUST
WANTED TO SHARE SOME OF THE
FACTS BEFORE YOU SO THE STATE
CREATED THOSE FISCAL OVERSIGHT
SYSTEM BACK IN NINETY ONE
SENSITIVE ESTABLISHED AT NINE
DISTRICTS HAVE COME IN FROM
AGENCY LOANS. FIVE OF PAID THEM
OFTEN THOSE FIVE CASES THEY PAID
THEM OFF WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE
TWENTY YEAR PERIOD THEY HAD TO
REPAY THE LOAN. TWO OF THE FOUR
THAT HAVE ACTIVE LOANS ARE
MAKING GOOD PROGRESS THERE ARE
TWO THAT ARE STRUGGLING ONE A
SWITCH FIFTEEN YEARS DOWN AND
SOME SORT OF STATE RECEIVERSHIP.
SO THAT THEY ISSUES BEFORE YOU
ARE REALLY FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES
TO THE STATE OVERSIGHT PROCESS
THAT SOME HAVE ARGUED HAVE
WORKED VERY WELL.
EVEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY
CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR
HAVING A SOLID FISCAL OVERSIGHT
AND SYSTEM.
SO I'M IN THESE CASES WHAT THAT
TRAILER BILL DOES BEFORE YOU TWO
REALLY IMPORTANT THINGS FOR
THESE ACTIVE DISTRICTS IT
CHANGES THE ENTIRE PROCESS FOR
ALL DISTRICTS MOVING FORWARD.
BY TAKING THE STATE INTO A
WEAKER ROLE AND INCREASING THE
LOCAL ROLE BUT AGAIN IN THESE
CASES IT WAS THE LOCAL ROLE THAT
WAS MISMANAGED WHICH IS WHY THE
SAY AT THE VERY AND I'M BEAT
DECIDED TO TAKE.
OVER.
BUT LANGUAGE BEFORE YOU SAYS
THAT FOR THESE DISTRICTS YOU
WILL BE PAYING PORTION OF THEIR
OPERATING DEFICIT FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL YEARS SO EVEN THOUGH
THEY HAVE TRIED TO CORRECT THEIR
FISCAL SITUATION THEY STILL HAVE
LARGE OPERATING DEFICITS.
AND THE STATE WILL NOW BE PAYING
EXPLICIT PORTIONS OF IT.
AT THE SAME TIME IT WILL BE
ALLOWING SOME OF THE CAPITAL TO
GO INTO THEIR OPERATING FUND AS
OPPOSED TO BEING USED JUST FOR
INVESTMENTS IN CAPITAL WHICH IS
THE STANDARD RULE.
SO THESE ARE REALLY SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES AND WE WOULD SUGGEST
SORTED DANGEROUS PRECEDENT FOR
THE STATE TO ACTUALLY COVER
OPERATING DEFICITS FOR DISTRICTS
[inaudible]
SENATOR SKINNER [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE --
THE COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS MY
COLLEAGUES IN RELATIONSHIP TO IF
THE STATE HAS HAD A SIGNIFICANT
ROLE IN THESE DISTRICTS WIRE THE
DISTRICT STOLEN THE CIRCUMSTANCE
AND IT IS CERTAINLY THE
PERSPECTIVE.
OF SOME OF THE DISTRICTS THAT
HAVE BEEN PUT INTO RECEIVERSHIP.
AND I'M NOT TALKING CURRENT THAT
PASSED.
THAT THE STATE'S INVOLVEMENT
[inaudible]
GUIDE.
DID NOT BENEFIT THEIR FINANCIAL
SITUATION.
SO I THINK CLEARLY.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO
LOOK AT WHETHER THE STATE'S
INVOLVEMENT IN THE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS IS.
BENEFITING US IN TERMS OF A
IMPROVING THE FINANCIAL
CIRCUMSTANCE NOW THAT SAID.
UNFORTUNATELY AT LEAST TWO OF
THE DISTRICTS THAT ARE BEFORE US
TODAY [inaudible]
HAVE.
WE CAN --
LOOK WERE.
IT IS THE LOCAL --
BOTH STAFF AND BOARD THAT HAVE.
I DON'T WANT TO BE POINT FINGERS
I DON'T WANNA SAY QUITE BEARD
BUT IF WE TAKE AN EXAMPLE OF
OAKLAND.
THERE BUDGETS DID NOT REFLECT.
THE DEFICIT THAT THEY HAD.
AND IT THEN.
KATE BECAME MORE APPARENT ONCE
THEY GOT A NEW SUPERINTENDENT.
AND THEY OUT MORE RIGOROUSLY
LOOKED AT THEIR FINANCIAL
SITUATION.
NO I DON'T THINK IT'S ACCURATE I
DON'T KNOW WHAT LEGAL TERMS WERE
USING HERE BUT OAKLAND HAS NOT
IN RECENT YEARS.
HAD TO HAVE STATE APPROVAL FOR
THE ADOPTION OF THEIR BUDGETS
[inaudible]
THEY DID.
I FORGET WHEN IT EXACTLY ENDED
BUT THEY HAD THAT FORMAL VERY
DIRECT STATE INVOLVEMENT WITH
WITH A WITH A STATE APPOINTED --
TRUSTEE WHO OVERRODE THE LOCAL
I. DECISIONS. FOR A GOOD NUMBER
OF YEARS BUT THEY HAVE NOT.
FOR I FIGURED AGAIN I FORGET
FIVE OR MORE YEARS ASININE YOU
THOUSAND AND EIGHT THEY HAVE
JUST HAD A TRUSTEE AND ONCE THE
STATE PUTS ON A TRUSTEE.
THEY ONLY AND THEY CAN
EFFECTIVELY TELL THE DISTRICT TO
DO THE RIGHT THING THEY CAN JUST
FOR SENATE DISTRICT A DECISION
THAT THEY DISAGREE WITH.
EXACTLY SO I THINK WE BUT HAD
THE STATE HAD A MORE DIRECT ROLE
AS THEY DID IN THE PAST FOR
EXAMPLE NO USD.
WE COULD MORE LEGITIMATELY POINT
OUR FINGERS AT THE STATE WE
COULD CERTAINLY INDICATE THAT
PERHAPS THE STATE SHOULDN'T HAVE
LIFTED ITS.
VERY DIRECT ROLE WHEN IT DIDN'T
TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT BECAUSE
IT WOULD CLEARLY INDICATE THAT A
COURSE CORRECTION HASN'T REALLY
FULLY BEEN MADE.
BUT SO I THINK.
WE WE HAVE.
AND THIS BILL DOESN'T SARAH
SOFTEST BUT WE DO HAVE THE
ONGOING PROBLEM OF WHEN THE
STATE GETS INVOLVED IN THESE
TROUBLED DISTRICTS WE HAVEN'T
NECESSARILY SEEN THE TYPE OF
TURN AROUND.
THAT ONE WOULD EXPECT SO AND I
THINK THAT WAS THE POINT OF SOME
OF MY COLLEAGUES COMMENTS AND
THAT IS ACCURATE --
I AM SUPPORTIVE OF THIS BILL.
AND OF TAKING THIS APPROACH
RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I FEEL THAT.
IT GIVES THE LOCAL COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENT.
A STRONGER ROLE AND THE COUNTY
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
A STRONGER ROLE WHICH I THINK
HELPS BECAUSE BE THEY HAVE MORE
INTIMATE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT THE
CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE PARTICULAR
DISTRICTS --
SO WHILE I DON'T KNOW WHETHER.
THE ACTIONS THAT WERE TAKEN
TODAY ARE GOING TO REALLY HELP
PUT ARE GONNA PUT.
THE TROUBLE DISTRICTS IN THIS
SITUATION THAT WE NEED THEM TO
BE AND I THINK IT'S A GOOD
[inaudible]
GOOD.
UP MOVE RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU SIR MORE LOCK.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR THE LA
HAUTE.
ADDRESSED WHAT I WANTED TO SHARE
THAT THERE WERE NINE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS THAT HAD BORROWED
MONEY.
FROM PICK MATT THEIR PROGRAM AND
FIVE PAID BACK ONE OF THOSE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS ASIDE NOW
CLOSED.
IRONICALLY --
BUT WE HAD THE FISCAL.
CRISIS MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE
TEAM CEO MIKE FINALLY SPEAKS TO
SUB ONE EVERY YEAR PROVIDES US
SOME BACKGROUND AND HE GAVE US
THE INFORMATION ON THOSE.
NINE SCHOOLS BUT ALSO THOSE A
QUALIFIED --
FOR ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THEY ARE.
AYE DEEMED TO NOT HAVE ENOUGH
CASH -- FLOW
TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR BUDGETS IN
THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO AND THAT'S
A PRETTY LONG LIST.
SO WHEN YOU START.
REQUIRING THE STATE'S ANNUAL
BUDGET ACT BEGINNING IN TWENTY
NINETEEN TWENTY TO INCLUDE
APPROPRIATIONS SUFFICIENT TO
COVER UP 275%. 50% AND 25% OF
THE DISTRICTS IS OPERATING
DEFICITS IN THAT YEAR WHO WE ARE
EXPOSING OURSELVES TO A
SIGNIFICANT.
BUDGETARY LIABILITY.
I HAVE LIKE I SAID ON THE FLOOR
YESTERDAY EVERITT VIEWED OVER
THE RECESS THE NINE HUNDRED AND
FORTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
I WAS CORRECTED BY SENATOR
HERTZBERG EACH OTHER THOUSAND
FIVE BUT WE DIDN'T INCLUDE THE
FIFTY EIGHT DEPARTMENTS OF
EDUCATION AND SOME SPECIAL
DISTRICTS.
THAT THE NUMBERS ARE.
REALLY SCARY ON WHAT KIND OF
FISCAL CONDITION OUR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ARE AND JUST FOR
INSTANCE OAKLAND.
HAS IT UNRESTRICTED NET DEFICIT
OF FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN
MILLION DOLLARS.
INGLEWOOD IS A HUNDRED AND
TWENTY ONE MILLION DOLLARS
UNRESTRICTED NET DEFICIT THIS IS
ON THEIR AUDITED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS.
ELLIE YOU ALSO SAN DIEGO I
MENTIONED SAN DIEGO UNION.
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BUT
THEY'RE UNDER WATER ONE POINT
FIVE BILLION.
AND THE BIG KAHUNAS THE LOS
ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
AND THEY HAVE AN UNRESTRICTED
NET DEFICIT OF TEN POINT.
NINE BILLION DOLLARS YOU ADD UP
THERE UNRESTRICTED.
NET.
ASSETS ARE DEFICITS FOR ALL NINE
HUNDRED AND FORTY YOU COME TO
THE BOTTOM AND THE TOTAL IS.
FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS.
NEGATIVE SO WE HAVE AN AMAZING
ISSUE THAT WILL CROWD OUT A LOT
OF THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU WANT.
TO DUDE YOUR CHILD CARE
EVERYTHING ELSE IT'S FACING US
IN HERE.
TOO AND AND SO WE'VE GOT TO
REALLY START.
MAYBE GETTING.
SENATOR PORTANTINO AND SENATOR
ALLEN AND WE'VE WE'VE GOT TO DO
SOME KIND OF HEARING. FOR THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT BECAUSE THEY ARE
BUT I WAS ALARMED I I I I DIDN'T
I DIDN'T EXPECT THE NUMBERS TO
BE AS BAD AS THEY WERE I'VE AND
ACTIONS BY I'VE BEEN SICK.
AT THAT THAT THAT THE SO I'M
JUST SAYING YOU ARE OPENING THIS
STATE UP TO AN INCREDIBLE.
EXPENDITURE THAT'S GOING TO
CROWD OUT.
OTHER THINGS OTHER THINGS SO
WOULD YOU WANT TO BE CAUTIOUS
AND I WOULD I WOULD SAY WE'VE
