FIRST BILL WE WANT TO SAY THANK
YOU TO SENATOR HILL FOR ALL OF
HIS WORK ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING
ON THIS.
IMPORTANT ISSUE HE'S BRINGING
FORWARD YET AGAIN THIS YEAR THIS
IS SB TWO NINETY FOUR SENATOR
HILL.
THE FLOOR IS YOURS SIR WELCOME
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER CHAIR
AND MEMBER -- TO PLEASURE TO BE
HERE WITH YOU THIS MORNING SB
TWO NINETY FOUR WILL AID
NONPROFIT AND RELIGIOUS
ORGANIZATIONS THAT PROVIDE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
BY EXPANDING THE PROPERTY TAX
EXEMPTION TO TWO HUNDRED AND
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS IN ASSESS
PROPERTY BUT ANNUALLY.
SPECIFICALLY IT WILL HELP TO
CHARITIES IN OUR STATE FROM DAY
ONE ONE OF WHICH IS IN MY
DISTRICT.
IF YOU ARE ALL AWARE FOR OF OUT
OF THE FIVE LEAST AFFORDABLE
RENTAL MARKETS NATIONWIDE ARE IN
CALIFORNIA.
NON PROFITS THAT DO NOT RECEIVE
ANY TAX CREDITS OR LOANS FROM
THE STATE OR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
AND PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
TO LOW INCOME FAMILIES HAVE A
CAP.
PLACED ON THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY
TAX THAT MAY BE EXEMPTED
ANNUALLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROVIDERS THAT DO RECEIVE TAX
CREDITS ARE LOANS FROM H. C. D.
HAVE NO LIMIT.
ON THE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY TAXES
THAT CAN BE EXEMPTED AND NO
MINIMUM PERCENTAGE REQUIRED OF
TENANTS WHO ARE LOW INCOME IN
ORDER TO RECEIVE A PRORATED.
PORTION OF THEIR PROPERTY TAXES
EXEMPTED ADDITIONALLY AT THE
REQUEST OF THE SAN MATEO COUNTY
ASSESSOR'S OFFICE.
IN SB TWO NINETY FOUR WE LOWERED
THE THRESHOLD FOR A NONPROFIT TO
RECEIVE A PROPERTY TAX BENEFIT.
THE SAINT FRANCIS CENTER IN MY
DISTRICT RECENTLY WAS ABLE TO
ACQUIRE A FORTY EIGHT UNIT
APARTMENT COMPLEX.
ALL WITH PRIVATE DONATIONS AT A
COST OF TWENTY TWO AND A HALF
MILLION DOLLARS.
THE BUILDING HAD EXISTING
TENANTS AND BECAUSE OF HOW TIGHT
THE EXPENSIVE IT IT AND EXPENSE
OF THE BAY AREA RENTAL MRKET IS
THEY DIDN'T WANT TO IMMEDIATELY
A VICTOR ALL OF THE TENNIS THAT
WERE NOT LOW INCOME.
AND THEY PAY THE PRICE THEY
RECEIVED A TAX BILL OF TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS FROM THE COUNTY.
THE SENATE IF COUNTY ASSESSOR'S
OFFICE CALLED MY OFFICE AND
REQUESTED THAT THE SAINT FRANCIS
CENTER AND OTHER SIMILARLY
SITUATED CHARITIES GET A PRO
RATED PORTION OF THEIR PROPERTY
TAXES EXEMPTED.
AS LONG AS THEY HAVE AT LEAST
50% OF LOW INCOME TENANTS AND I
AGREED WITH THEM IT IS ONLY FAIR
AND IT AKES SENSE.
NOW I'M APPALLED THAT THE
ASSESSORS ASSOCIATION TOOK A
LATE OPPOSED POSITION ON THIS
BILL.
FRANKLY THESE THE THESE FOLKS
ARE BOOKKEEPERS NOT POLICY
MAKERS THEIR JOB IS TO ASSESS
PROPERTY IN IN FAIRLY APPLY THE
LAWS THAT WE CREATE IF THEY WANT
TO BE BOOKED IF THEY WANT TO
MAKE POLICY DECISIONS.
IF THEY WANT TO TAKE.
THE POLICY POSITIONS THAN THEY
SHOULD GET THEMSELVES ELECTED TO
A POLICY MAKING BOARD OR BODY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND I

MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IS IN THE
LAST COUPLE OF YEARS -- HF HAS
BECOME A MAJOR HOUSING PROVIDER
IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY WITH HOPES
TO EXTEND OTHER PARTS OF THE
STATE -- RECOGNIZING THAT
HOUSING IS PART OF THE PUBLIC
HEALTH CRISIS THE PEOPLE WITH
HIV AND OTHER MANAGEABLE MEDICAL
CONDITIONS FACE WAS IMPORTANT
FOR US TO GET PEOPLE INTO DECENT
HOUSING.
OUT OF THEIR CARS OFF OF
PEOPLE'S COUCHES AND DEFINITELY
OFF THE STREET WHERE THEY COULD
RECEIVE MEDICAL CARE -- AND LIVE
IN A DECENT ENVIRONMENT I'M IN
THE LAST TWO YEARS WE HAVE
OPENED UP SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY
FIVE UNITS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY
BY GOING INTO -- HOTELS AND
MOTELS THAT HAVE HAVE BEEN RUN
DOWN SPENDING UP TO A HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS A UNIT TO RE
HAVE THEM TURN THEM INTO DECENT
HOUSING AND PROVIDING
OPPORTUNITIES.

HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE UNITS WE
HAVE FAR EXCEEDED THE TWENTY
MILLION DOLLAR CAP AND PROPERTY
VALUATION THAT CURRENT LAW
ALLOWS -- WE ARE HERE DOING
THINGS THAT -- THAT HELP ALL THE
PEOPLE CALIFORNIA -- AND WE
THINK THAT THE PEOPLE OF THAT
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA COULD BE
HELPFUL TO US IN TERMS OF TAKING
SOME OF THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OFF.

THANK YOU VERYMUCH MISTER CHAIR
THANK YOU SENATOR BILL FOR THE
CALL FOR THE QUESTION OR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND.
THE ASSESSOR'S CLAIM IS THAT YOU
KNOW IN THE NINETEEN NINETIES
THERE WERE ABUSES AND THAT'S WHY.
THIS WAS ESTABLISHED AS A AND
AND WE MADE CHANGES TO IT PRIOR
TO THAT THERE WAS A 20%
REQUIREMENT FOR A LOW INCOME WE
ARE NOW BRINGING THAT 250%.
AND SO WE ARE ACTUALLY NOT GOING
AS FAR AS HISTORICALLY IT HAD
BEEN -- THE IDEA OF FRAUD AT THE
REQUEST OF THE ASSESSORS IN THE
PREVIOUS -- ITERATION OF THIS
LEGISLATION INCREASING THE CAP --
THEY REQUIRED UP FORM FILLED OUT
TO BE FILLED OUT A WELFARE
EXEMPTION SUPPLEMENTAL AFFIDAVIT
OF HOUSING THAT -- NOW IS
REQUIRED OF ALL OF THOSE NON
PROFITS TO FILL OUT AT THEIR
REQUEST IN A IN THE UNDER THE
PENALTY OF PERJURY THEY SIGN TO
IDENTIFY EXACTLY.
THE AMOUNT OF LOW INCOME TENANTS
THERE ARE HOW MUCH THEY WERE --
NUMBER PROPORTIONS IN THE
HOUSEHOLD THE ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD
INCOME MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE RENT
THAT CAN BE CHARGED ACTUAL RENT
CHARGE THROUGH THERE IS AT THAT
THE ASSESSORS REQUEST THEY HAVE
THE INFORMATION THAT IS
NECESSARY FOR THE EXEMPTION.
THEY ALSO HAVE A LOT OF THE
TOWARD IF THEY FEEL THAT THERE'S
A VIOLATION SOMEWHERE THEY CAN
GO IN AND AUDIT THOSE -- NON
PROFITS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
ARE ACTING RESPONSIBLY AND IT
AND ACCORDING TO LAW SO WE HAVE
DONE EVERYTHING THAT THEY
REQUESTED HISTORICALLY IN THE
PAST THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
PROVIDE INCREASED HOUSING.
AND MAKE SURE THAT THOSE
NONPROFITS THAT USED THEIR FUNDS
RAISED THROUGH THEIR FUND
RAISING CAN PROVIDE THAT HOUSING
WITHOUT A TWO HUNDRED TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR TAX BILL
FROM THEIR COUNTY ASSESSOR.
OR TAX COLLECTORS.
SO THAT'S THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING
THIS AND FEEL THAT IT'S THE
APPROPRIATE SO I RESPECTFULLY

VETERANS WHO ARE HOMELESS.
IN TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN
CALIFORNIA HAD TEN THOUSAND
EIGHT HUNDRED THIRTY SIX
HOMELESS VETERANS ACCORDING TO
ALMOST 30%.
OF THE NATION'S TOTAL HOMELESS
VETERANS POPULATION.
VETERANS OF SACRIFICE FOR OUR
COUNTRY AND IN RETURN LOCAL
STATE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS
NEED TO DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR
POWER TO HELP THEM SUCCEED.
THERE'S NO SINGLE SOLUTION THAT
IS GOING TO SOLVE THIS CRISIS
OVERNIGHT REASONS FOR THE LARGE
NUMBERS OF HOMELESS VETERANS ARE
NUMEROUS AND VERY COMPLEX. TO
THE BIGGEST FACTORS THOUGH ARE
THE EXTREME SHORTAGE OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND LIVABLE
INCOME.
SB THREE SIXTY FOUR COMES TO
ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS OF
VETERANS FACED BY DOING THE
FOLLOWING FIRST SB THREE SIXTY
FOUR CAPS THE PROPERTY TAXES ON
THE PRIMARY RESIDENCE OF AN
HONORABLY DISCHARGED VETERAN.
OVER HE AGE OF SIXTY FIVE AS
YOU KNOW THESE THE THE TREASURER --
TAX COLLECTOR IN EACH COUNTY CAN
RAISE THAT PROPERTY TAX UP 2% OF
BASE BASED ON THAT CALIFORNIA'S
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX SECOND IT
EXEMPTS PROPERTY TAXES ON ALL
1100% DISABLED VETERANS LIVING
IN THEIR PRIMARY RESIDENCE --
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT MY
DISTRICT AS YOU KNOW -- MY
DISTRICT VERY CLOSE TO CAMP
PENDLETON AND MANY NONPROFITS
THAT EXIST OUT THERE TO PROVIDE
FREE HOMES THERE SPECIALLY BUILT
FOR THESE VETERANS TO DO THOUGH
THE WHITE HALL WAYS THE WHOLE
CASE. TO GET THEM INTO BETTER TO
GET HIM INTO A SHOWER IF THEY'RE
DOUBLE OR TRIPLE AMPUTEES BUT
THE ONE THING THE LIVES OF THOSE
HOMES THAT THEY GET.
THE BENEFICIARY OF IS A PROPERTY
TAXES AND MANY OF THEM CAN'T
WORK ON THE SITE TENS OF THE GET
FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
AREN'T SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW THEM
TO STAY.
IN THEIR HOMES. TWELVE OTHER
STATES ALREADY HONOR THEIR
VETERANS WITH FULL PROPERTY TAX
EXEMPTIONS LET'S MAKE CALIFORNIA
BE THE NEXT TO DO SO SB THREE
SIXTY FOUR PROVIDES A BASIC STEP
IN HELPING OUR VETERAN COMMUNITY.
BY EXPANDING THE CURRENT
PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION AND
CURRENT -- REACH OF THE LAW
CALIFORNIA IS HONORING THE
SACRIFICES OF OUR VETERANS AND

DEVELOPING FINANCING AND
IMPLEMENTING.
GROUNDWATER TREATMENT PROGRAMS
IN THE SAN GABRIEL BASIN.

TO INCLUDING LOCAL CITY COUNCIL
MEMBERS AND PREVIOUSLY CITY
COUNCIL ELECTIONS WERE HELD AN
ODD EVEN I'M SORRY ON ODD
NUMBERED YEARS AND THE AUTHORITY
BOARD ELECTION WAS HELD ON EVEN
NUMBERED YEARS.
HOWEVER RECENT CHANGES HAVE COST
CITIES AND MY DISTRICT TO CHANGE
TO EVEN NUMBER YEARS IT GETS A
LITTLE CONFUSING HOWEVER.
NOW WE HAVE THE AUTHORITY IN THE
CITY ELECTIONS HAPPENING AT THE
SAME TIME WHICH IS CAUSING SOME
CONFUSION.
AND UNDER EXISTING LAW THE
AUTHORITY MUST HOLD A SPECIAL
ELECTION TO FILL BOARD VACANCIES.
AND CONSIDERABLE TIME AND COST
AS EXTENDED.
SB FOUR ONE THREE SOLVE THIS
PROBLEM BY STARRING THE
AUTHORITY'S BOARD ELECTION AND
CITY COUNCIL ELECTIONS.
AND ADDING. TO THE UPDATING.
IN UPDATING PROCEDURES FOR
FILLING A VACANCY TO ELIMINATE
SPECIAL ACTIONS IN CASES RECEDE
AS ONLY THEY CAN FOR A SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME.
THE BOARD DISCUSSED THESE
CHANGES TO THE PUBLIC.
WITH -- WITH WORKSHOPS IN
HEARINGS AND UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED
A POSITION SUPPORTING THEM AFTER
HEARING OPPOSITION FROM THE
PUBLIC SO ESSENTIALLY THIS BILL
JUST REMINDS THE ELECTION
PROCESS. TO ENSURE WE DON'T
SPEND MONEY ON SPECIAL ACTIONS

pSMALL SYSTEM WATER THIRTY ACTIVE.
TWENTY NINETEEN THE STATE WATER
RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD.
HAS IDENTIFIED NEARLY THREE
HUNDRED COMMUNITY WATER SYSTEM
STATEWIDE THAT CHRONICALLY
FAILED TO SERVE SAFE DRINKING
WATER.
THE THE SYSTEMS LACK THE
FINANCIAL MANAGERIAL AND
TECHNICAL RESOURCES NECESSARY TO
ADDRESS ONGOING CONTAMINATION
AND INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES.
NECESSARY TO OPERATE A HIGH
FUNCTIONING WATER SYSTEM.
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THESE
SYSTEMS ARE SMALL RURAL SYSTEMS
SERVING DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES. TOO MANY OF WHICH
ARE IN MY DISTRICT.
LET THERE BE NO DOUBT THIS IS A
PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS AND A
SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION IS LONG
OVERDUE. ONE MILLION
CALIFORNIANS TURN ON THE TAP AND
CANNOT DRINK THE WATER.
THIS LEGISLATURE HAS PASSED MANY
LAWS AND ADDRESSED.
ADDRESS SOME ELEMENTS OF THE
WATER ACCESSIBILITY ISSUE
INCLUDING CAPITAL FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE AND CONSOLIDATION
WHEN AN ANCHOR TENANT.
AGENCY IS NEARBY.
HOWEVER LASTING CHANGES CHANGES
TO THE UNDERLYING GOVERNANCE
STRUCTURE OF FAILING COMMUNITY
WATER SYSTEMS IS NEEDED TO
CREATE ALTERNATIVE PATHWAYS. TO
ADDRESSING PROBLEMS WERE NEARLY
NEARBY ANCHOR AGENCIES ARE NOT
SUITABLE AND WE'RE ECONOMIC
SCALE IS REQUIRED TO HAVE
SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS.
SB FOUR ONE FOUR PROPOSES TO
MERGE THE SMALL NON COMPLIANT
WATER SYSTEMS INTO A LARGER MORE
ROBUST PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM THEY
CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IMPROVED
ECONOMIES OF SCALE.
ACCESS TO STATE BACKED CAPITAL
FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE STREAMLINED
MANAGERIAL FUNCTIONS AND
ENHANCED FINANCIAL CAPACITY.
SB FOUR ONE FOUR WOULD
COMPLEMENT EXISTING STATE WATER
BOARD CONSOLIDATION POWER
INCLUDING THOSE PREVIOUSLY
IMPLEMENTED.
IT IS A NEW TOOL IN THE TO A
TOOL BOX.
LAST YEAR MY ASSEMBLY BILL
TWENTY FIFTY PASSED THIS
COMMITTEE AND SINCE THEN WE HAVE
WORKED WITH STAKEHOLDERS
INCLUDING THE STATE WATER
RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD THE
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE COMMUNITY
AND LAUGH GO TO MAKE THE BILL
EVEN STRONGER.
SENATE BILL FOUR ONE FOUR IS A
CRUCIAL STEP TOWARDS PROVIDING A
BASIC HUMAN RIGHT.
CLEAN AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE
DRINKING WATER TO ALL
CALIFORNIANS.
WITH ME TODAY TO PROVIDE
TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT OUR DANIEL
COATS AND THE EASTERN MUNICIPAL
WATER DISTRICT -- AND DANIELLE

OF SB FOUR FOURTEEN TODAY I'M
DANIEL COATS WITH EASTERN
MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT.
A WATER WASTEWATER AND RECYCLED
WATER PROVIDER THAT SERVES EIGHT
HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND
RESIDENTS IN WESTERN RIVERSIDE
COUNTY.
AS AN ORGANIZATION EASTERN HAS
DIRECT EXPERIENCE WITH
CONSOLIDATING RIPARIAN SYSTEMS.
WITH FAILING INFRASTRUCTURE AND
SEVERE CONTAMINATION AND
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.
WHILE THE STATE BOARD HAS THE
POWER TO CONSOLIDATE SYSTEMS
THEIR STORY IS CONSTRAINED WHEN
THERE IS NO VIABLE RECEIVING
AGENCY SB FOR FOURTEEN ADDRESSES
THIS BY ALLOWING CHRONICALLY
UNDER PERFORMING SYSTEMS RE
EMERGED.
THROUGH A STEP BY STEP PROCESS
THAT IDENTIFIES DEFINES TIMELINE
INTO A MORE ROBUST AND
FUNCTIONAL SYSTEM.
THE PROCESS UTILIZES QUALIFIED
APPOINTED ADMINISTRATORS TO FORM
THE MARK MORE COMPETENT
SUCCESSOR AGENCIES.
AND AND IT'S IMPLEMENTED THROUGH
THE LOCAL LASKO PROCESS.
SB FOURTEEN FOR FOURTEEN
PROVIDES A TOOL TO THE STATE
BOARD THAT WE BELIEVE ADDRESSES.
BOTH THE NEAR TERM NEED FOR
INTERVENTION AND THE LONG TERM
OBJECTIVE OF CONFERENCE REFORM.
WE APPRECIATE THE GUIDANCE OF
COMMITTEE STAFF.
AN ADDITIONAL STAKEHOLDERS
INCLUDING THE WATER BOARD AND
THOSE OTHERS THAT WERE MENTIONED
BY THE SENATOR.
WHO WORKED WITH US TO IMPROVE
THE TRANSPARENCY AND FLEXIBILITY
THE BILL?
AND ALLOWING IT TO SERVE AS A
TOOL IN ADDRESSING THE SAFE
DRINKING WATER CRISIS IN
CALIFORNIA.
MORE IMPORTANTLY WE BELIEVE SB
FOUR FOURTEEN WILL ULTIMATELY
HELP INSURE THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES ACROSS THE STATE.
HAVE SAFE AND RELIABLE DRINKING
WATER ON A DAILY BASIS AND FOR
THESE REASONS WE RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST DRIVE A FOUR FOUR
FOURTEEN THANK YOU -- OTHERS
SPEAKERS YEAH DANIEL BLASTED
HIDING WITH CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL
UTILITIES ASSOCIATION THANKYOU
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK
TODAY WE ARE PROUD TO BE CO
SPONSORS AND SUPPORTERS OF SB.
FOUR FOURTEEN AS WE BELIEVE THIS
BILL WILL -- HELP -- AT BRING
THE SAFE DRINKING WATER TO A
LARGE PORTION OF THE CALIFORNIA
THE CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE IT --
AS NOTED BY THE AUTHOR IN A CO
SPONSOR AS BEFORE FOURTEEN SEEKS
O BRIDGET AND AN IMPORTANT GAP
IN THE STATE'S CONSOLIDATION
AUTHORITY.
I'M SETTING UP A UNIQUE PROCESS
FOR CONSOLIDATION THAT WHILE
COMPLIMENTARY DOES NOT MERE
EXISTING AUTHORITIES.
THERE ARE SEVERAL IMPORTANT
REASONS FOR THAT WE BELIEVE THAT
A LOCALLY CONTROLLED PUBLIC
PROCESS IS ESSENTIAL TO LONG
LASTING GOOD GOVERNANCE.
CUSTOMERS CAN IN FULL AND SHOULD
FULLY PARTICIPATE IN DECISIONS
RELATED TO THE DELIVERY OF SAFE
DRINKING WATER IN THEIR
COMMUNITIES.
SB FOUR FOURTEEN ENTRANCE
FUNDAMENTAL STEPS THAT ENSURE
COMMUNITIES WILL HAVE A VOICE IN
THE FUTURE OF THEIR WATER SUPPLY.
FROM ENGAGEMENT WITH COUNTY
LAUGH GO TO REPRESENTATION ON A
LOCALLY ELECTED BOARD OF
DIRECTORS.
SECOND IT INCLUDES FIRM
DEADLINES THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS
HAVING A DEFINITIVE TIMELINE IS
ESSENTIAL WHEN THE STATE BOARD
IMPOSES DEADLINES TO THEIR
EXISTING MANDATORY CONSOLIDATION
PROCESS.
THEY WORK AND WE RECOGNIZE IT
WILL REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT
RESOURCES TO IMPLEMENT THIS BILL
HOWEVER WE FEEL IT'S A PRUDENT
INVESTMENT TO EFFECTIVELY
ADDRESS SYSTEMS THAT CANNOT BE
CONSOLIDATED THROUGH OTHER MEANS --
EVEN WITH THE EXISTING AUTHORITY
THAT THE STATE BOARD HAS TO
CONSOLIDATE THERE STILL ARE OVER
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SYSTEMS THAT
DO NOT HAVE SAFE DRINKING WATER.
WE TRULY BELIEVE THAT SB.
FOUR FOURTEEN PROVIDES ANOTHER
TOOL IN THE TOOLBOX IT IS NOT
MEANT TO SUPERSEDE OTHER
AUTHORITIES.
AND WE APPRECIATE THE WORK BY
THE COMMITTEE STAFF -- TO
RECOMMEND AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD
EVER MAKE THAT EXPLICIT THAT IT
IS JUST ANOTHER TOOL IN THE
TOOLBOX BUT A VERY IMPORTANT --
ONE THE TIME IS NOW TO ADDRESS
THESE CHALLENGES FACING OUR
STATE SB FOR FOURTEEN PROVIDE
THIS IS DATEABLE PATH FORWARD TO
HELP ACHIEVE THAT GOAL AND WE
WERE ACTUALLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE.

ISSUE THE OTHER THING.
HERE WE GO FOR IT IN THIS IS
GOING TO GO FROM VOLUNTEER
BOARDS TO PAYING BOARD MEMBERS
TWO AND A FIFTY DOLLARS PER DIEM
WHICH YOU AT WHICH IS ACTUALLY
MORE THAN CURRENT STATUTES SO.
THAT'S A BIG CHANGE AND BELIEVE
ME WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
LITTLE WATER SYSTEMS THAT MAKES
A LOT OF MONEY AND THEN ALSO.
WE WANT TO ENSURE TAT WE HAVE
SUFFICIENT TRANSPARENCY SO IN
ENCOURAGING THE CREATION OF AN
ADMINISTRATIVE FUNCTION AT THE
WATERBOARD WE REALLY TRIED TO
BUILD IN AS MUCH TRANSPARENCY AS
POSSIBLE.
YOU WERE IN ADMINISTRATORS THE
LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO LIKE
THINK ABOUT.
YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT GOING
BANKRUPT AND HAVING
ADMINISTRATOR POINTED IT'S NOT
WHAT ANYBODY WANTS IN SOME OF
THESE WATER SYSTEMS.
DON'T NEED AN ADMINISTRATOR THEY
NEED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT IS
VERY CLEAR AND THAT THE
ADMINISTRATOR FUNCTION.
HAD THAT THAT THE BOARD HAS MORE --
ABILITY TO DETERMINE WHEN THAT
ADMINISTRATOR FUNCTION IS
APPROPRIATE.

COULD PLEASE ADVANCED MICROPHONE
THIS TIME LAST CALL FOR THOSE
WHO ARE OPPOSED.
WE NOW WOULD LIKE TO BE TO BRING
IT BACK TO COMMITTEE TO BE
RECEIVED ANY QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS WE ALSO WOULD WORK ON
THE MOTION.
THE MOTION I CENTER TARA WE DO
HAVE A QUESTION BY A CENTER
ABOUT CENTERVILLE.
I I I I I I AGREE WITH THE BILL
OKAY BUT I HAVE A QUESTION -- IT
RELATES TO A PARTICULAR
SITUATION FOR MY DISTRICT MY
DISTRICT HAS.
ESSENTIALLY WATER PROVIDED BY A
PRIVATE WATER COMPANY.
AND THERE'S ALSO -- OF SMALL
WATER COMPANIES.
AND IF SO HAPPENS THAT OF SMALL
WATER COMPANIES BECOME NOT NON
COMPLIANT.
HOW DOES THIS AFFECT
[inaudible]
THAT SITUATION.
WHEN -- SURROUNDING WATER
COMPANY MIGHT BE SOME BIG.
COMPANY THERE'S A KIND OF
PRESENT US WITH A CASE WERE WERE
FORCING A SMALL WATER COMPANY.
TO JOIN THE BIG WATER COMPANY OR
HOW DOES HOW DOES IS SO AFFECT
THAT SITUATION.
PRIVATE CALL IS NOT THE PUBLIC
WATER.
THE PRIVATE COMPANIES.
WHERE WE HAVE THIS BIG COMPANY
THE BIGGEST ONE IN CALIFORNIA
ACTUALLY?
SAN JOSE WATER WATER COMPANY.
THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION
SENATOR THAT THE THE STRATEGY
THAT WERE USING IN THIS BILL.
IS IS.
TO TAKE CARE OF CHRONICALLY NON
COMPLIANT WATER SYSTEMS THAT
DON'T HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN
PLACE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE
IMPROVEMENTS -- AND THAT UP OVER
THE YEARS HAVE JUST NEVER BEEN
ABLE TO TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
THERE HAVE BEEN CONSOLIDATIONS
IT BEEN VOLUNTARY AND SOME THAT
HAVE WORKED OUT VERY WELL -- IN
AND WE'RE NOT TOUCHING THAT
PROCESS AT ALL WHAT WE'RE SAYING
IS THAT FOR THESE NON
CHRONICALLY NON COMPLIANT.
SYSTEMS WHERE THERE IS NOT A
LARGE WATER SYSTEM NEXT TO THEM
THAT THEY CAN BE -- CONSOLIDATED
WITH THAT THERE THERE NEEDS TO
BE AN ALTERNATIVE AND THIS WOULD
GIVE.
THE ALTERNATIVE IS TO ALLOW A
NUMBER OF THESE TO JOIN TOGETHER
FOR A KIND OF MEANS OF SCALE
ACCESS RESOURCES THAT ARE
AVAILABLE AT STATE SO IN THE IN
THE INSTANCE YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT THEY WOULD NOT BE FORCED --
UNLESS THEY THEY ARE THEY
CONTINUE TO BE CHRONICALLY A NON
COMPLIANT IN THE STATE WATER
BOARD CANNOT GET THEM TO DO WHAT
THEY NEED TO DO.
WELL.
I AM A WORM ABOUT IS OPEN -- WE
HAVE ALL THESE OLD.
PROBABLY NON COMPLIANT.
WATER SYSTEMS UP IN THE
MOUNTAINS.
SACRAMENTO NEWS READ WITH THE
STATE'S THAT DRIVER YOU KNOW THE
AREA.
SO THEIR ADJACENT TO SAN JOSE
WATER COMPANY [inaudible]
BUT THERE.
I THINK ONE ONE BANKRUPT -- A
FEW YEARS AGO -- HOW DOES IT
AFFECT THOSE KINDS OF SMALL
MOUNTAIN?
WATER COMPANIES LIKE DUNN.
THE SITUATION I'M TALKING ABOUT
YEAH I THINK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION -- IT ACTUALLY YOU KNOW
LIKE IT'S REDUCING SO YEAH OF
COURSE I'M SORRY DANIEL BUSTED
HAD WITH CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL
UTILITIES ASSOCIATION -- AND IN
IN THOSE SITUATIONS YOU KNOW THE
THERE'S AN ADMINISTRATOR THAT'S
GOING TO BE APPOINTED TO THE
STATE WATER BOARD IT'S GOING TO
TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE
APPROPRIATE SOLUTION WOULD BE
FOR THE SYSTEMS.
SO IT MIGHT BE THE SOLUTIONS
RECIPE FOR FOURTEEN WHICH WE
THINK YOU KNOW BRIDGES AN
IMPORTANT GAP.
BUT IT ALSO MIGHT BE THROUGH
EXISTING AUTHORITY THAT THE
STATE BOARD HAS -- SO IT JUST
YOU KNOW IT REALLY OFFERS AT
TOOL IN THE TOOLBOX AND THERE
MAY BE.
ANOTHER SOLUTION THAT IS A MORE
APPROPRIATE FOR THOSE SYSTEMS
OKAY OKAY I THINK THAT ANSWERS
MY QUESTION.
I THANK YOU I'M A SUPPORT THE
BILL AND JUST AS A WHERE FOR
THAT FRONT BECAUSE MOST OF THE
WE'RE WE'RE VERY UNIQUE AND
UNUSUAL IN OUR COUNTY THAT MOST
OF THE WATERS PROVIDED BY SIMPLY
A PRIVATE.
WE DON'T HAVE.
PUBLIC WATER IN. TOO MUCH IS
SACKLER COUNTY SOME SOME CITIES
DAILY SACRIFICE SANTA CLARA AND
FOLLOW UP TO DO BUT THE THE REST
OF US ARE.
PRIVATE WATER COMPANIES YEAH AND
WHILE THIS IS A POINT IN TIME
WHERE YOU KNOW THERE'S A CERTAIN
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA TO BE PART
OF THIS BILL.
IN THE FUTURE IF THERE'S A
SYSTEM THAT BECOMES NON
COMPLIANT -- YOU KNOW THE STATE
FOUR DOES HAVE EXISTING
AUTHORITIES A LAUGH GO YOU KNOW
HAS A PROCESS AND SO THOSE COULD
POTENTIALLY BE MERGED AS WELL
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CENTER UP
BEFORE WE CONTINUE WITH
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AS ONE
MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE CLARIFYING
WITHIN THEM AND STARTED A WE'RE
GONNA BE CLARIFYING THAT THE
STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL
BOARD WILL.
EVALUATE ALL OPTIONS PROTECTING
DRINKING WATER INCLUDING
CONSOLIDATION RECEIVERSHIP
INFORMATION OF A SMALL SYSTEM
WATER AUTHORITY WHICHEVER IS THE
MOST COST EFFECTIVE IN
PROTECTIVE OF DRINKING WATER
SOURCES.

BUT THIS IS A BEEN A TEAM EFFORT
MISTER CHAIR COMMITTEE ON AB ONE
FORTY SEVEN WHICH AND IMPLEMENTS
THE WAY FAIR DECISION FROM THE
SUPREME COURT IN CALIFORNIA.
THIS IS A WELL THOUGHT OUT IN
COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH THE WAY
FOR DECISION IS ONE OF THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT US SUPREME COURT
DECISIONS IN DECADES BECAUSE IT
REMOVES THE COMPETITIVE
ADVANTAGE ONLINE.
AN ATA STATE BUSINESSES WHO DO
DIDN'T WHO HISTORICALLY NOT
COLLECTED SALES TAX.
IT REMOVES THAT ADVANTAGE OVER
BRICK AND MORTAR CALIFORNIA
RETAILERS WHO'VE ALWAYS
COLLECTED TAXES THIS INEQUITY
CAN GIVE A BIG EDGE FOR ABOUT
SEVEN POINT 25% TO MORE THAN 10%.
DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE IN
THE STATE. TO ADDRESS A
COMPANIES AN ONLINE RETAILERS.
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE THIRTY
THREE STATES HAVE ALREADY
IMPLEMENTED THE COURT DECISION
AND EVERY OTHER STATE WITH THE
SALES TAX IS EXPECTED TO FOLLOW
SUIT.
IN AB ONE FORTY SEVEN DOES THE
SAME HERE IN THE GOLDEN STATE.
THE MEASURE WILL ALSO INCREASE
STATE AND LOCAL REVENUES BY MORE
THAN FOUR HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS ANNUALLY AFTER THE FIRST
YEAR.
MANY OF THESE OCAL REVENUES ARE
DEDICATED TO LOCAL
TRANSPORTATION AND PUBLIC SAFETY
PERSONNEL.
THIS BILL STRIKES A BALANCE
BETWEEN ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS
CALIFORNIA RETAILERS ONLINE
PLATFORMS AT A STATE BUSINESSES
AND MANY OTHERS.
AND WE'RE PLEASE HAVE SEVERAL
ORGANIZATIONS WHO WILL BE
SPEAKING IN SUPPORT TODAY AND
AGAIN I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO
SAY THANK YOU TO THE STATE

THE COLLABORATION QUITE WELL --
BUT AND THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING
ME TO PRESENT AB ONE FORTY SEVEN
ALONG WITH MY CO AUTHOR.
AS THE TEARS EXPLAIN THIS BILL
ESTABLISHES A COMPREHENSIVE AND
BALANCED SET OF POST WAY FAIR
TAX COLLECTION COLLECTION RULES
THAT MAKES SENSE FOR THE
CONSUMER.
SMALL BUSINESS AND THE STATE.
AB ONE FORTY SEVEN DOES SO IN
THREE WAYS FIRST IT PROVIDES
RELIEF TO SMALL BUSINESS BY
INCREASING THE ECONOMIC NEXUS
THRESHOLD FROM 1-001-000-2500
THOUSAND DOLLARS AND ELIMINATING
THE TWO HUNDRED OR MORE SEPARATE
TRANSACTION THRESHOLD ENTIRELY.
SECOND AB ONE FORTY SEVEN
RECOGNIZES THE REALITIES OF
TODAY'S ECONOMIST EIGHT COMMERCE
A CONNIE BY REQUIRING ONLINE
MARKETPLACES TO CLICK SALES TAX
SALES AND USE TAX ON BEHALF OF
THEIR THIRD PARTY RETAILERS.
FINALLY AB ONE FORTY SEVEN
PROMOTES CLARITY AND SIMPLICITY.
BY REQUIRING RETAILERS TO
COLLECT AND REMIT LOCAL DISTRICT
TAXES ONCE THEY SELL OVER FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
CALIFORNIA.
ELIMINATING THE BURDEN SOME
REQUIREMENT TO TRACK SALES IN
EACH DISTRICT.
OUT WITH THAT I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN AYE VOTE

BUY WHICH IS PART OF THE
CALIFORNIA RETAILERS ASSOCIATION --
WE'RE ARE IN SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL WE THANK THE AUTHORS AND
TREASURE Mà FOR YOUR EFFORTS ON
THIS.
A MEASURE AND ONE OF THE MORE
IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF THIS BILL
AT LEAST FROM MY CLIENTS
PERSPECTIVE.
IS THE HAVING IMPLEMENTATION
SOONER RATHER THAN LATER AS IT
LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD FOR
THEM COMING THE NEXT HOLIDAY
SEASON SO -- THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR ALL THE WORK ON THIS AND WE
ARE IN FULL SUPPORT.
MISTER CHAIRMAN FOR STACEY DOLLY

DEPOT AND I WOULD ECHO DON'S
ELOQUENT -- COMMENTS AND THANK
YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK ON THIS
VERY APPRECIATED.
REBECCA MARCUS ON BEHALF OF HDL
COMPANIES IN SUPPORT.
THANK YOU DO WE HAVE IN THE ONE
WISHES TO TESTIFY IN OPPOSITION.
HEARING NONE DO WE HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS
[inaudible]
CENTER HERTZBERG [inaudible]
ON WHY THE FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLAR THRESHOLD AND WHY NOT THE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR
THRESHOLD.
AS SET FORTH IN THE SUPREME
COURT CASE WE KNOW THAT THE
TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO COLLECT
TAXES AND THIS HUNDRED THOUSAND
JUST IN CALIFORNIA JIM ABUSES
DURING A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
BERMAN HUNDRED THOUSAND
CALIFORNIA.
I'D LIKE TO KNOW A WHY NOT BE
THAT WE CAN ANALYSIS IS
DETERMINE WHAT THE DELTA IS
BETWEEN A HUNDRED THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS WHICH
ISREVENUE LOSS BECAUSE SEE WE
KNOW THE TECHNOLOGICALLY ANYBODY
IN BUSINESS TODAY.
CAN SIMPLY DOWNLOAD WHICH TAX
JAR SO MANY OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
WOULD YOU CAN CALCULATE A SALES
TAX FROM ALL FIFTY STATES BILLS
BILLS TAX ON GOODS AND SERVICES.
JUST IN CASE SOMEONE'S LISTENING
IT'S REALLY SIMPLE. TO DO AND
REALLY INEXPENSIVE TO DO AND SO
MY QUESTION IS WHAT WHATWHY
LIMITED UNDER THESE
CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN SOMEBODY WHO
HAS A BUSINESS WITH A HUNDRED
THOUSAND CALIFORNIA COULD BE A
SUBSTANTIAL BUSINESS AS EASY TO
COMPLY.
WE DID WE WE STARTED RESEARCH ON
THIS LAST AUGUST AND WHAT WE
FOUND WAS IN CONJUNCTION WITH CD
TFA WAS THAT THE THREAT THE
AMOUNT OF INCOME THAT WE WOULD
SEE IT AS A STATE BETWEEN A
HUNDRED AND FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND WAS VERY CLOSE TO IF
NOT EQUAL TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE.
COSTS THAT IT WOULD TO TO FOLLOW
UP ON THAT THAT THOSE NUMBERS OF
BUSINESSES AND SO AS AS BOTH CD
TFA AND AS ALL OF US REVIEW
THOSE NUMBERS WE DECIDED THAT TO
SIMPLIFY FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
AND TO ALSO.
BECAUSE THE REVENUE OF ONCE WAS
SO NEGLIGIBLE THAT THAT IT WAS
NOT WORTH DOING IT IT DOESN'T
SOUND LOGICAL TO ME I CANNOT
BELIEVE.
THAT EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T USE AN
IMPLEMENTATION TOOL IT SOUNDS
POLITICAL I GET IT BUT IT
DOESN'T SEEM TO ME EVEN IF YOU.
HE SAID TO THE AGENCY ARE NOT
GOING TO DO IT AND NOT SPEND ANY
MONEY ON COLLECTION SOMEBODY'S
GOING TO PAY THE TAX.
AND THAT'S NEW DOLLARS IT IT
MAKES NO SENSE TO ME THAT THE
AGENCY WOULD I I WOULD HAVE COST
QUESTION THAT CONCLUSION.
IF YOU CAN TELL ME THAT WILL
TURN IT OVER -- TO MISS PEEL
CIRCUS PEOPLE SOCCER IS THE
DIRECTOR LEGISLATION FOR THE
CALVET APARTMENT TAX AND FEE
ADMINISTRATION WANT TO TAKE A
MOMENT.
TO SAY THANK YOU I TO THEM AS
THEY HAVE BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN
THIS THE DELTA -- THAT -- THE
SENATORS TALK ABOUT AS OF
APPROXIMATELY IN THIS BILL
CIRCLE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG
ABOUT EIGHT TO TEN MILLION -- ON
AN ANNUAL BASIS -- THAT'S REALLY
A APPROXIMATE ALL THIS STATE.
WOULD NOT SEE COMING INTO THE
GENERAL FUND BECAUSE OUR MARKET
IS SO SATURATED WITH LARGER
ONLINE RETAILERS FRATERNAL
REPEAL STICKER TO BE ABLE TO
CLARIFY -- ANY MISTAKE THAT I
MAY JUST MAKE.
I GUESS YOU'RE VERY CLOSE -- IT
IT SAID TWELVE TO FIFTEEN
MILLION ON AN ANNUAL BASIS HOW
DID YOU COME WITH A NUMBER.
HOW DID -- WE BECAUSE YOU GOT
THE HATCHERIES TO COME WITH A
NUMBER -- WE LOOKED AT THE
UNIVERSE OF COMPANIES THAT WOULD
FALL IN BETWEEN THE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLAR AND FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLAR THRESHOLD BASED
ON CENSUS DATA.
IF YOU COULD AT SOME POINT A MAP
YEAH I JUST LIKE TO KNOW JUST.
CURIOUS TO ME I MEAN I KNOW
CERTAIN COMPANIES LIKE AMAZON
THE LIKE CERTAINLY CONTRACT WITH
A LOT OF COMPANIES AND UTILIZE
THE AMAZON TOOL IT'S ONE OF THE
BIG ISSUES AND ON PRIVACY IN
SOME OF THE OTHER AREAS WERE
INVOLVED IN. TO ACTUALLY --
PROMOTE SALES BUT I'D LIKE TO
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT BECAUSE I'M
JUST TELLING YOU INTUITIVELY IT
MAKE AND IT'S IN THE ECONOMY OF
TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
THAT IS BEING INFORMED IN
DRAMATIC WAYS BY THE INTERNET
IT'S SHOCKING TO ME.
THAT BETWEEN ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS IS ANYTHING LESS THAN A
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS I CAN
SPEAK TO THAT FIRST OF ALL I
WOULD.
BE HAPPY TO SHARE TO SHARE THE
DATA WILL GET IT TAKEN -- BUT
SECONDLY -- INTERNET SALES ARE
HIGHLY CONCENTRATED AND LARGE
COMPANIES RIGHT SO.
THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPANIES
THAT ARE ABOVE THAT FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS BUT BETWEEN ONE
HUNDRED THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED
THERE'S JUST NOT A HUGE.
DIFFERENCE LOOK AT HAPPY TO
SHARE THAT ESTIMATE WITH THE I.
WHY WAS THAT IN THE LAST
QUESTION IS WHY WAS THAT BY
IMPLEMENTATION DATE PUSHED BACK
ON THE REST THE COUNTRY'S
IMPLEMENTING IT.
ON THE EARLIER DATE [inaudible]
THE WORLD.
SO A FEW ITEMS -- WE'VE BEEN IN
CONSTANT COMMUNICATION -- WAY
CITY TFA THE REASON WHY -- WE
ARE LOOKING AT A BIT OF A DELAY --
BUT MAKING SURE THAT IT IS
IMPLEMENTED PRIOR TO THE
HOLIDAYS.
IS TO ALLOW PLATFORMS IN THE
LARGEST ONLINE MARKETPLACE IN
THE WORLD TO BE ABLE TO ADAPT --
IN IT IS TAKING A BIT LONGER I
EVEN THOUGH WE SEEN THIRTY THREE
STATES ADAPT JUST BECAUSE THE
COMPLEXITY OF A MARKET PLACE.
AND WHERE WE HAVE BEEN ADAMANT
IN ALL TURN OVER THE CHAIRWOMAN
IS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE HIT THAT THE HOLIDAY
NUMBER ONE IT'S EQUITY WITH --
BRICK AND MORTAR RETAILERS.
AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
LOCAL GOVERNMENT VERTICALLY
LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES THAT
ENEFIT EVERYDAY CALIFORNIANS
WILL BE -- TO CAPTURE THOSE
DOLLARS MEDICARE ISSUE IN FRONT
OF HOUSING EQUITY MISTER
CHAIRMAN WITH BRICK AND MORTAR
RETAILERS ARE CURRENTLY PAYING
THE SALES TAX RIGHT NOW.
YOU'RE GIVEN THIS GOT THE
EVERYBODY ONLINE ABILITY NOT TO
PAY THE SALES TAX NOT JUST THE
REVENUE FROM THE STATE.
BUT IN TERMS OF THE RELATIONSHIP
IN BRICK AND MORTAR AND ONLINE
PEOPLE THE ONLINE PEOPLE AREN'T
PAYING IT YOU'RE DEALING THEIR
OBLIGATION TO PAY.
EQUITY WOULD MEAN THAT THEY
WOULD BE TREATED EQUALLY.
AND WHAT I WILL SAY IS THAT --
WE HAVE BEEN IN CONSERVATION
OCCASION WITH THE RETAILERS WHO
REPRESENT ON NINE EXCUSE ME
THERE WAS A BRICK AND MORTAR --
THIS IS BEEN ABLE TO THERE HAVE
BEEN CHALLENGES AND ALL SITES
JUST BEING VERY HONEST ABOUT YOU
KNOW A VERY COMPLICATED TO BE
ABLE TO IMPLEMENT -- AND WE
BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE LANDED IN A
SWEET SPOT -- WHERE WE'RE GOING
TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE THE BULK
OF THE REVENUE?
CENTERS FOR EXACTLY RIGHT ARE WE
GOING TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE THAT%
BETWEEN NOW.
AND OCTOBER NO IN CALIFORNIA AS
WE ALWAYS HERE'S A BIT DIFFERENT
IN BECAUSE OF OUR SIZE.
THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CHALLENGES
TO BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT WE'RE
GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH
SEVEN CHAIR ANYTHING THAT I
MISSED AND I THINK THE OTHER
THING IS SOME MARKET.
PLACE FACILITATORS ARE STILL IN
PROCESS OF COLLECTING THE
INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED AND
WHICH TAXABLE PRODUCTS AND
THINGS LIKE THAT AND SO.
WE DID WE WE TRIED TO FIND THE
SWEET SPOT WHERE -- WE WHERE WE
DIDN'T HAVE THE RAMP UP ON
RESPONSIBILITY BUT WE GAVE IT A
DEADLINE DATE ON'T AS TO WHEN.
WE WOULD START COLLECTING YEAH
MY MY ONLY POINT CLOSE ON THIS
IS JUST.
YOU KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW THIS UNITED STATES
SUPREME COURT CASE IT CAME DOWN
THE SAME DAY FOR ALL FIFTY
STATES.
A LOT OF OTHER STATES THAT WE
KNOW WE LOOK AT AND WE SEEMS TO
ME THAT WE NEED.
TO ALWAYS ASK OURSELVES THE
HONEST QUESTIONS AMONG FRIENDS
WHY ARE WE WHY IS OUR STANDARD
DIFFERENT THAN EVERYBODY ELSE'S
NOT JUST SIZE WHY IS THAT THE
CASE WHY CAN THEY IMPLEMENT WHAT
IS THE DIFFERENCE.
HOW DO WE ANSWER THAT QUESTION I
THINK WE HAVE THAT OBLIGATION IN?
JUST BEING HONEST BROKERS OF
PUBLIC POLICY.
AND TO THAT ED TO THAT EFFECT I
DON'T I DON'T DISAGREE
NECESSARILY -- HOWEVER THEY WERE
PROVISIONS IN THIS BILL WHERE WE
DO HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT.
THE FACT THAT YES IN OTHER THIS
HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE AND PEOPLE
SHOULD SHOULD IT HERE TO OUR TO
OUR STANDARD IMMEDIATELY --
HOWEVER I THINK WITH THE COURSE
OF HOW EASY IT IS AND HOW HARD
IT WAS TO ACTUALLY COLLECT THE
INFORMATION THEY HAD NOT FULLY
PREPARED SOME OF THEM.
IN THAT IN THE WAY THEY SHOULD
HAVE.
WE HAD TO MAKE BASIC DECISIONS
ON HOW WE WERE GOING TO GO ABOUT
AND DO THIS IN A WAY THAT WAS A
SEAMLESS IMPOSSIBLE BOTH FOR THE
STATE'S CD TFA AND FOR THE
RETAILERS.
AND AND AND MY CONCERN IS THAT A
C. T. OF A ANNOUNCED THAT
BEGINNING APRIL FIRST.
TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN RETAILER
LOCATED OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA
MUST COLLECT USE TAX IF DURING
THE PROCEEDING OR CALENDAR YEAR.
THE RETAILER'S SALES IN THE
CALIFORNIA EXCEED HUNDRED
THOUSAND AND OR THE RETAILER
MADE SALES INTO CALIFORNIA IN
TWO HUNDRED OR MORE SEPARATE
TRANSACTIONS WHICH IS --
ACCORDING TO THE COURT CASE
HOWEVER APRIL FIRST WE'RE NOT
ABLE TO GET OUR BILL.
THE GOVERNOR'S DESK BY APRIL
FIRST I THINK WE WERE TRYING --
THAT WAS THE INTENTION -- BUT
UNFORTUNATELY -- BECAUSE OF THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS WE'RE NOT
GONNA MAKE ABLE FIRST DEADLINE I
HOPE THAT CD TFA ARE IN GOOD
FAITH IS GOING TO PUSH BACK.
ON SENDING THESE LETTERS --
BECAUSE IT IS VERY CONFUSING OUT
THERE IN THE MARKET PLACES WERE
CHINA.
YOU KNOW -- CREATE THE LAW
CODIFY IT AND SEE TFA IS SENDING
LETTERS ON THAT ARE YOU KNOW
FRANKLY -- UPSETTING FORTY
THOUSAND LEAST FORTY THOUSAND
AMAZON ONLINE MARKET PLACE UP
THERE PARTY PROVIDERS RIGHT NOW.

LOCAL DISTRICT BILL THAT WOULD

FOR ALL -- BASED ON DECADES OF
OVERWHELMING -- DESIRE BY OUR
LOCAL COMMUNITY WILL BE ON THE
GUN SHOWS.
AT THE COW PALACE.
IT WILL ALSO CREATE A NEW LOCAL
AUTHORITY -- REFLECTING A LOCAL
COMMUNITY -- TO TAKE OVER
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE OF
THE CAL PALACE PROPERTY WHICH IS
ABOUT SIXTY EIGHT ACRES.
WHILE PLANNING FOR THE LIGHTS

DECISIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE.
OF THE SITE.
CALLING THIS BILL DOES NOT JUST
COME OUT OF THIN AIR -- THIS
BILL COMES TO US AFTER DECADES.
OF OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY
ATTEMPTING TO WORK WITH THE CAL
PALACE ON VARIOUS ISSUES -- AND
HITTING THEIR HEADS AGAINST THE
WALL OVER AND OVER AND OVER
AGAIN -- AN AGENCY THAT IS --
APPARENTLY UNWILLING TO
MEANINGFULLY WORK WITH THE LOCAL.
COMMUNITY. FIVE FOR DECADES WE
HAVE HAD UNANIMOUS VOTES AT THE
DALY CITY COUNCIL IN THE
CEMETERY - COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISOR IN THE SAN FRANCISCO
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ASKING THE
CAL PALACE PALACE TO STOP
HOLDING GUN SHOWS AT THE SITE.
AND THE COW PALACE FOR DECADES
HAS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY
IGNORED THAT LOCAL DESIRE -- I%
AM NOW THE THIRD SENATOR
REPRESENTING THIS AREA AFTER
JACKIE SPEAR AND MARK LENO -- TO
CARRY BILLS TO TRY TO GET THE
COW PALACE TO WORK WITH OUR
COMMUNITY.
IN ADDITION FOR A LONG TIME DALY
CITY HAS BEEN ATTEMPTING TO WORK
WITH THE COW PALACE. TO MAKE
BETTER USE OF THE CALIPARI'S
LAMB THE CALIPARI'S IS THE
BUILDING WHICH PEOPLE ARE
FAMILIAR WITH WHICH IS IN VERY
POOR CONDITION AND IT'S A HUGE
AMOUNT OF WORK
BUT IT IS ONE OF THE LARGEST
PARKING LOTS I'VE EVER SEEN IN
MY LIFE IT'S NOT JUST AN
AGRICULTURAL FAIR GROUNDS WE IT
IS A MEGA MASSIVE PARKING LOT IN
THE MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL
COMMUNITY.
THAT IS.
OVERWHELMINGLY NOT BEING USE
THERE ARE EVENTS THAT HAPPEN IN
THE CAL PALACE BUT LARGER AS
TIME NOTHING IS HAPPENING IN
THIS PARKING LOT AND CREATES
BLIGHT.
IN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY AND
DALY CITY HAS ATTEMPTED FOR
YEARS TO WORK WITH THE CAL
PALACE TO MAKE BETTER USE OF THE
LAND.
AND THE CAL PALACE HAS BEEN HELD
AT MOST PAID LIP SERVICE AND
NOTHING HAS HAPPENED -- SO IT'S
TIME TO MAKE CHANGE HERE WE'RE
IN THE MIDDLE OF A HOUSING
CRISIS IN THE STATE NO WERE
WORSE THAN THE BAY AREA.
AND WE HAVE SIXTY ACRES OF LAND
JUST SITTING HERE THAT IS UNDER
UTILIZED IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO MAKE
DECISIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF
OUR LAND. TO THE BILL IN
ADDITION TO PERMANENTLY BANNING
THE GUN SHOWS WILL TRANSFER THE
LAND TO THIS LOCAL AGENCY --
WITH THE LIGHT THAT WILL BE
COMPRISED OF A BOARD OF ELECTED
OFFICIALS APPOINTED.
BY THE MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO BY
THE MAYOR OF DALY CITY I'M BY
THE CEMETERY COUNTY.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS -- TO MAKE
THOSE DECISIONS THE SAN
FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO SUPPORT
THIS BILL.
ON MONDAY NIGHT AND AFTER THE
ANALYSIS CAME OUT BUT ON MONDAY
NIGHT THE DALY CITY COUNCIL
VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO SUPPORT THE
BILL -- THE CEMETERY COUNTY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HAS NOT YET
ACTED BUT WE DO HAVE A LETTER OF
SUPPORT FROM SUPERVISOR DAVID
CAN ABOUT WHO REPRESENTS THIS
PORTION.
OF CEMETERY COUNTY SO ONCE AGAIN
THE LOCAL SUPPORT IS BROAD I
ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT WE HAVE
SIX OR SIX CO AUTHORS OF THIS
BILL -- EVERY SINGLE LEGISLATORS
SENATE AND ASSEMBLY WHO
REPRESENTS SAN FRANCISCO OR
CEMETERY COUNTY IS A CO AUTHOR
OF THIS BILL THIS IS NOT
CONTROVERSIAL LOCALLY I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE.
WITH ME TODAY ODDS TESTIFY IN
FAVOR OF THE BILL OUR STATE
TREASURER FIONA Mà WHO USED TO
REBEL.
STILL REPRESENTS AREA BUT USED
TO REPRESENT -- THIS AREA IN THE
STATE ASSEMBLY -- AND BUILT
LET'S SEE WHO IS HERE ON BEHALF
OF THE CITY OF DALY CITY THANK
YOU. FOR YOURMOTHER FOR SURE IS
YOUR FINANCING THANKS FOR
HANGING WITH US OKAY THANK YOU
VERY MUCH -- I A REPRESENTED
ASSEMBLY DISTRICT TWELVE FROM
200-062-2000 TWELVE WHICH
INCLUDED.
A DALY CITY THE WEST SIDE OF SAN
FRANCISCO DALY CITY BROUGHT MRE
AND COMMA.
UP SO I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE
COW PALACE OF VERY CLOSELY SINCE
TWO THOUSAND SEVEN AND
ESPECIALLY IN TWO THOUSAND EIGHT
WHEN.
GOVERNOR ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
WANTED TO SELL OF THIS PIECE OF
PROPERTY -- THE CAP HOUSE WAS
BUILT AND DEVELOPED IN NINETEEN
FORTY ONE FOR THE PRIMARY
PURPOSE OF HOSTING THE GRAND
NATIONAL RODEO AND LIVESTOCK
SHOW.
SINCE THEN IS HOUSED IN MANY
AFFORDABLE AND ACCESSIBLE FAMILY
EVENTS SUCH AS THE CIRCUSES.
SWAP MEETS CAR SHOWS HOME AND
GARDEN SHOWS OTHER CONVENTIONS
BUT ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
WHICH IS ONE OF MY HUSBAND'S
FAVORITES THE DICKENS FAIR WE'VE
BEEN GOING FOR ABOUT ALMOST A
DECADE NOW AND IT IS ONE OF THE
PREMIER.
FAVORITE -- EVENTS THAT WE GO TO
SO I JUST WANT TO PUT THAT ON
THE RECORD BECAUSE I KNOW
THERE'S A LOT OF DICKENS FAIR.
FOLKS BACK THERE HOWEVER SINCE
TWENTY THIRTEEN A WHEN JOE
BARKAT.
LEFT AS GENERAL MANAGER -- ABLE
TWENTY THIRTEEN THE CAL HOW IS
BOARD AND MANAGEMENT HAVE FAILED
TO FOCUS ON SUSTAINING FAMILY
FRIENDLY ACCESSIBLE AND
AFFORDABLE DANCE.
INSTEAD RELIED ON RENTING TO
VENDORS FOR REVENUE STEERING
AWAY FROM SUPPORTING THE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES INTEREST.
IN TWENTY TWELVE FOR EXAMPLE --
THAT CAL POWERS BOARD SIGNED A
CONTRACT WITH ENTERPRISE RENT A
CAR.
UP WHERE FOR FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS A MONTH ENTERPRISE A
USES A LOT OF THE PARKING SPOTS
AND REFURBISHES CARS FOR SALE.
IT WAS THE INTENTION AT THE TIME
AS I UNDERSTAND -- FROM -- THE
BOARD AND MANAGEMENT THAT --
THEY WOULD PUT MOST OF THE MONEY
TOWARD -- REFURBISHING THE FOUR
BIG BUILDINGS WHICH CANNOT BE
RENTED TODAY. 90% OF THE INDOOR
SPACE LEAKS TERRIBLY FROM THE
RAIN.
I IN.
THE WATER.
RUNS CONSISTENTLY THROUGH THE
YEAR AND ALSO ALL DAY AND NIGHT
I MEAN THIS IS JUST KIND OF A
LONG SHORT LIST OF THE THINGS
THAT NEEDED TO BE.
RENOVATED AND FIXED AND
MAINTAINED HOWEVER THE BOARD.
HAS DECIDED NOT -- TO PUT THE
MONEY TOWARD REFURBISHING THE
SITE BUT INSTEAD PUTTING IT
TOWARD OPERATIONS.
SO THROUGH MY EXPERIENCE -- I
BELIEVE THE COW PALACE BOARD AND
MANAGEMENT HAVE LOST ITS FOCUS
AND ALLOWED THE PROPERTY TO
DECLINE.
A WE DEFINITELY NEED LEAD NEW
LEADERSHIP AND A NEW PLAN FOR
THISHISTORIC PROPERTY.
THANK YOU IT IS MUCH BETTER
TREASURER NOT ENTER OVER MISS
MEMBER SHOULD A ****.

COMMUNITY RELATIONS ARE
CONCERNED.
HERE ARE THE FACTS FOR YOUR
INFORMATION.
FIRST RESPOND OR TRAINING
TRAINING IN RESPONDING TO
EMERGENCIES.
IS HELD AT THE COW PALACE BY
BOTH THE DALY CITY POLICE
DEPARTMENT AND OTHER LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
AMBULANCE TRAINING FOR
EMERGENCIES IS HELD THE HARM A
PILE SO CALLED PAULOS GROUNDS
EVERY MONTH.
POLICE TRAINING FOR THE DALY
CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT OF KERR'S
ON THE GROUNDS OF THE COW PALACE.
SHARE PRINT SERVICE BUREAUS
VAUNTED METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY TRAINS
IS BONDS DRIVERS ON THE GROUNDS
OF THE CAL PELOSI SELF.
THE CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF ARTS
THE FOUR YEAR COLLEGE IN SAN
FRANCISCO HOLDS GRADUATION
EXERCISE THE JEFFERSON.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS
DONE SO -- AS WELL.
THE THE JEWS ALSO FOR PARKING
FOR THE MOSCONI CONVENTION
CENTER -- VANCE AS REQUIRE.
THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL
USES IT FOR TRAINING ITS
OFFICERS WHO ARE STATIONED IN
THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN
FRANCISCO.
I AM THE COUNTY OF SAN MATTEO.
JUST YESTERDAY I AM INFORMED.
THAT THE TRIAL BALANCE HAS BEEN
REQUESTED TO PROVIDE DAYS OF USE.
FOR THE TRAINING OF SAN
FRANCISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT
CADETS [inaudible]
IS THAT.
DISREGARD OF THE SURROUNDING
COMMUNITIES DALY CITY.
AND SAN FRANCISCO IN THE COUNTY
OF US SAN MATTEO.
IF THIS OCCURS. FIFTY THREE
AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
CAN BE IN FEAR.
OF A BILL NEXT YEAR THE YEAR
AFTER THE YEAR AFTER THAT. TO
ABOLISH THOSE BURKE CULTURAL
DISTRICTS WHICH ARE.
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART.
NOT JUST OF THE HISTORY OF
CALIFORNIA BUT OF TODAY'S
CALIFORNIA.
A COMMA MAY.
WHAT I SUGGESTED AREAS THAT WAS
IMPLICIT IN THE REMARKS OF
MISTER -- PATTERSON WHOSE FAMILY
FOUNDED THE DICKENS OF FAIR.
DIVIDE THIS BILL IF YOU WILL.
DEAL WITH THE GUN SHOW WHERE
SHOW WHICH HAS BEEN DEALT WITH
Và OUT AT DEL MAR ANOTHER
AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT.
WITH THAT IT IS NOW THE SUBJECT
OF VIOLATING GEISHA.
BUT DO NOT PASS THAT PART OF
THERE'S NON GERMANE BILL.
WHICH ENDS THE GLORIOUS HISTORY
AND THE GLORIA GLORIA'S CURRENT
OPPORTUNITIES FOR CALIFORNIA'S
TO ENJOY ADULT FIRST
AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT.
AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT ONE NAY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
CENTER WE'RE GRATEFUL TO BROWN
THE FOR GEORGIA FIVE MINUTES.
MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS THE
COMMITTEE THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY LOUIS BROWN
ON BEHALF THE WESTERN FAIRS
ASSOCIATION.
SENATOR COP DID A FANTASTIC JOB
I THINK OF IDENTIFYING AND
INFORMING YOU OF THE UTILIZATION
OF THE CAL POLICIES
UNFORTUNATELY WE HEAR THIS ABOUT
DISTRICT AGOSTO STATIONS AND
FAIR GROUNDS.
PRETTY MUCH THROUGHOUT THE STATE
IN THAT.
PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE
THERE'S ACREAGE THERE AND IT'S
NOT BEING UTILIZED EVERY DAY OF
THE YEAR THAT THERE'S SOME
EFFORT OVER THERE SOME LACK OF
UTILIZATION HAPPENING HAPPENING.
I CAN TELL YOU WITH WITHOUT A
DOUBT THAT THE COMMUNITIES
AROUND THOSE DISTRIBUTORS SO SEE
ASIANS NO THE BENEFIT THAT THEY
PROVIDE.
AND THAT PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA WHEN
EMERGENCIES ARISE HOW ARE THE
FIRST PLACE AT THE OFFICE OF
EMERGENCY SERVICES LOOKS FOR SO --
WITHOUT A DOUBT.
THE SIXTY EIGHT ACRES ACCOUNT
PALACES IS VALUABLE PIECE OF
PROPERTY.
THIS IS CLAIMED TO BE A DISTRICT
BILL BUT IT HAS STATEWIDE
IMPLICATIONS -- JUST A COUPLE
YEARS AGO AB FOURTEEN NINETY
NINE WAS PASSED -- AUTHORED BY
ASSEMBLY MEMBER ADAM GRAY SIGNED
BY GOVERNOR BROWN.
AND WHAT WE'LL SEE IN THE MAY
REVISE OF THIS YEAR'S BUDGET IS
THE FIRST FORMULA. FOR AB
FOURTEEN NINETY NINE WHICH FOR
THE FIRST TIME IT'S GOING TO
ALLOW THE FAIR GROUNDS IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO BENEFIT
FROM THE SALES TAX REVENUE THAT
THEY GENERATE.
UNLIKE ANY OTHER AGENCIES THEY
GENERATE SALES TAX ON A ANNUAL
BASIS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS TO
SALES TAX AND THEY GET NO
BENEFIT FROM.
MOST DISTRICT ACCESS OR A NUMBER
OF DISTRICT ASSOCIATIONS GET NO
DIRECT BENEFIT FROM THE STATE AT
ALL THE CALIFORNICA SURVIVE ON
THE REVENUES THEY GENERATE.
IF WE TAKE THIS TRANSFER OF
PROPERTY AND SIMPLY MOVE IT AWAY
THEN EVERY DISTRICT AGOSTO
SITUATION EVERY COUNTY FAIR IN
THE STATE IS GONNA HAVE SOME
NEGATIVE IMPACT BECAUSE THE
SALES TAX REVENUE LOST.
FROM THE COW PALACE THE FUTURE
SALES TAX REVENUE FROM GENERATED
BY THIS NEW AUTHORITY WILL NOT
BE ALLOCATED THROUGH AB.
FOURTEEN NINETY NINE THERE'S NO
LANGUAGE IN THE BILL THAT ALLOWS
FOR THAT TO HAPPEN SO EVERY
DISTRICT AGOSTO SITUATION EVERY
COUNTY FAIR IN THE STATE OF OF
CALIFORNIA WILL BE NEGATIVELY
IMPACTED.
BY THIS TRANSFER OF PROPERTY.
I THINK IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING
AND IF YOU JUST.
LOOK AT THE NUMBERS THE CALCULUS
IS SUCCESSFUL FROM A FISCAL
BASIS IT'S GENERATING REVENUE
EVERY YEAR.
IT'S PUTTING MONEY BACK IN THE
FACILITY IS IT ABLE TO ACTUALLY
PUT ALL THE MONEY THAT'S
NECESSARY BACK INTO THE FACILITY
TO MAKE IT [inaudible]
MODERN.
NOT NOT AT ONE CHUNK NOT IN
THERE'S NOT ONE DISTRICT
ASSOCIATION IN THE STATE THE
TABLE TO DO THAT BUT THEY'RE ALL
STARTING TO WORK IN THAT EFFORT
WERE SEEN IN THE GOVERNOR PUT
FOR DEFERRED MAINTENANCE MONIES
FOR DISTRICT AGOSTO SITUATIONS.
THERE RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR THE
IMPROVEMENTS ARE HAPPENING SO.
THIS ELEMENT OF THE BILL WHICH
ISN'T NEW TO THE BILL THIS
TRANSFER PROPERTY.
IS EXTREMELY TROUBLING ON A
STATEWIDE BASIS THE LAST THING
I'D LIKE TO SAY MISTER CHAIR.
IS THAT.
I THINK THAT IT'S OF IT WAS
MISSTATED EARLIER THAT THERE WAS
BEEN LIP SERVICE PAID TO THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TO DEVELOP
THE PROPERTY IN CALCULUS.
THERE'S TWELVE POINT FIVE ACRES
AT THE COW PALACE HAS RIGHT NOW
THAT IS CONSIDERED THE UPPER
PARKING LOT IT IS AN ADJACENT TO
TWELVE POINT FIVE ACRES OF
PRIVATELY OWNED PROPERTY WHICH
IS THEN ADJACENT TO PROPERTY
OWNED BY DALY CITY. SEVEN TO TEN
YEARS AGO.
THERE WERE THEY WERE ALMOST TO
THE POINT OF HAVING AGREEMENT TO
DEVELOP THAT ENTIRE PART OF THE
PROPERTY.
THAT WOULD HAVE INCREASED THAT
WOULD HAVE GENERATED REVENUE FOR
THE CAPITALISTS AND THEN THE
RECESSION HIT.
AND THE DEVELOPERS WALKED AWAY.
THERE'S NOW NEW MANAGEMENT AT
THE CITY OF DALY CITY THERE'S
NOW RENEWED INTEREST BY THE
PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNER AND THE
COW PALACE IS ENGAGING IN
CONVERSATIONS. TO DEVELOP.
OR POTENTIALLY DEVELOP THAT
PROPERTY BUT IT WILL TAKE TIME
IT'S A STATE AGENCY THEY HAVE TO
WORK TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
GENERAL SERVICES.
BUT THERE IS A GENUINE INTEREST
THERE HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST AND
THERE WILL BE IN THE FUTURE. TO
TRY TO PROVIDE SOME BENEFIT BACK
TO THE COMMUNITY FOR THAT
ACREAGE.
THAT IS EASILY DEVELOPED BECAUSE
OF THE WAY IT SITS WITH OTHER
PROPERTIES SO WE THINK THAT THIS
IS GOING TO RESOLVE ITSELF.
THE GOVERNOR LIKE WAS STATED
EARLIER HAS THE ABILITY TO
APPOINT TO THESE MEMBERS AND OF
THE GOVERNOR SO CHOOSES CAN
REMOVE MEMBERS OF A DISTRICT
ASSOCIATION AND APPOINT NEW ONES.
THIS STATE AGENCY IS DOING WHAT
IT'S BEEN TASKED TO DO.
IT HAS STATEWIDE IMPLICATIONS ON
THIS BILL WE ASK FOR A NO VOTE
TODAY THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH -- MISTER
BROWN WE'RE GONNA OPEN IT UP TO
BE ABLE TO GO TO COMMENT.

AND THEN -- WILL OPEN UP AA AS
TO PROCEDURAL QUESTION.
ABS MY LETTER OF MARCH
NINETEENTH IN YOUR FILE.
I RECEIVED A LETTER AND LET'S
GET IT BECAUSE THERE WAS AN IN
THE ANALYSIS OPPOSE.
THE COMMITTEE I DID RECEIVE THE
LETTER MISSING CHESTER CORRECT
[inaudible]
THANK YOU.
MR CUP I THINK SOME MEMBERS HAVE
IT WE'RE GONNA MAKE SURE THAT --
EVERY MEMBER HAS IT SO WE'RE
GONNA HAVE -- GOVERNS IN FINANCE
STAFF MAKE THOSE COPIES NOW --
IN BE ABLE TO DISTRIBUTE.
ALL RIGHT -- BUT SOME MEMBERS DO
YOU HAVE THE LETTER IS WELL
WE'RE GONNA TURN OVER TO SENATOR
WINNER SENATOR WIENER. FOR
RESPONSIBLE OPEN UP FOR
COMMITTEE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR CHAIRMAN --
AND I WANT TO THANK ALL THE
MEMBERS OF PUBLICLY CAME OUT --
TODAY -- I WANNA MAKE ONE THING
CRYSTAL CLEAR -- IN CASE THERE'S
ANY MISUNDERSTANDING BECAUSE
SOME OF THE ARGUMENTS WE'RE
HEARING ABOUT THIS BILL.
I THINK A SEEM TO ASSUME THAT
THE BILL DICTATES BUT THE CAL
PALACE WILL BE TORN DOWN.
THE BILL THERE'S NO SUCH THING.
ALL THE BILL DOES THE ONE THING
IT DOES DICTATE ISN'T UNDER THE
GUN SHOWS -- AND I'M GLAD TO
HEAR THAT THERE'S SO MUCH
SUPPORT. FOR THAT -- BUT THE
BILL.
TRANSFERS THE LAND SO THAT THE
LOCAL COMMUNITY CAN MAKE
DECISIONS ABOUT THE FUTURE.
BACK COULD MEAN BY AINTAINING
THE CALIPARI IT COULD MEAN THAT
OF AND DID OF COURSE WOULD HAVE
TO BE FINANCE BECAUSE THERE IS
AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF WORK THAT
HAS TO BE DONE ON IT.
BUT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY COULD
DECIDE TO KEEP THE CAL PALACE.
OR NOT THAT WILL BE A LOCAL
DECISION THIS BILL DOES NOT
DICTATE THE REMOVAL OF THE CAL
PALACE PERIOD -- I ALSO JUST
WANT TO NOTE THAT WE I MET WITH --
WHAT'S IMPAIRS ASSOCIATION --
LAST WEEK AND WE COMMITTED THAT
WE'RE ALL GONNA TRY TO WORK
TOGETHER -- ON THIS ISSUE AND
ENGAGE THE GOVERNOR AND OTHERS
SO WE WANT THIS TO BE A
COLLABORATIVE PROCESS BUT
REGARDLESS THERE HAS TO BE.
A CHANGE HERE -- YOU KNOW I WILL
ALSO HIS NOTE -- DIET WE
CONTINUE TO HEAR THIS.
ONE WHY NOT ASSEMBLYMAN TING WHO
REPRESENTS OUR CITY AND I'D MET
WITH MARK CAUGHT -- CENTER COP'S
WIFE WHO IS THE CHAIR OF THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE CAL
PALACE -- IS SHE IT CONTINUE TO
DEFEND THE GUN SHOWS WE SAID
WE'RE THINKING ABOUT DOING
LEGISLATION TO TRANSFER THE LAND
IT WAS THIS CONTINUAL DEFENSE OF
THE GUN SHOWS WE SAW IT AND
CENTER COPS LETTER A DEFENSE OF
THE GUN SHOWS.
SO EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME.
THIS AGENCY CONTINUES NOT.
TO EITHER HERE OR UNDERSTAND
WHAT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY IS
SAYING THIS IS NOT A LAND GRAB.
THIS IS NOT ME OR ANYONE IS
GRABBING THE LAND THIS IS ABOUT
THE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OF
DALY CITY SAN MATTEO COUNTY AND
SAN FRANCISCO MAKING DECISIONS.
ABOUT THE FUTURE ABOUT LAND
THAT'S NOT A LAND GRAB THIS IS A
PUBLIC PROCESS.
SO THEY CAN BE PUBLIC DECISION
MAKING BY ELECTED OFFICIALS --
ABOUT THE FUTURE -- YOU KNOW
CENTER COP MENTIONED THAT THE
DALY CITY POLICE AND AT A
SEVENTY ANS OF PD ARE USING THE
SITE -- THAT MAY BE THE CASE BUT
AS A REMINDER UNANIMOUS VOTES
FROM THE GOVERNING BODIES OF
EACH O THOSE CITIES SUPPORTING
THIS LEGISLATION -- SO.
YOU KNOW WHATEVER USE IS BEING
MADE YES IF YOU HAVE SIXTY EIGHT
ACRES OF LARGELY ON USE LAND --
YOU CAN MAKE SOME USE OF IT BUT
THE QUESTION IS WHAT IS THE BEST
USE OF OUR LAND AND THAT SHOULD
BE A LOCAL -- DECISION -- SO
COLLEAGUES I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR YES THANK YOU SO MUCH.
MR NIELSEN IN THE VICE CHAIR.
I HAVE CONCERNS THAT THIS BILL
IN EFFECT IS EMINENT DOMAIN BY
ANOTHER MEETS [inaudible]
NOW.
THE CONCERN ALSO IS THE THREAT
TO THE AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS.
AND AS YOU NEGOTIATE WITH
WESTERN FAIRS CENTERED AT
APPRECIATE IF YOU'D BE VERY
COGNIZANT OF THE CONCERNS OF ALL
OF THE AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS.
AND THAT THERE'S SOME KIND OF
LANGUAGE THAT WOULD BE THE
GOVERNING THAT THIS IS NON
PRECEDENTIAL.
A NON OBLIGATORILY TO ANY OTHER
AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT
[inaudible]
ANY CITY.
FRESNO FOR EXAMPLE COULD DECIDE
THERE WAS A LOT OF MORE REVENUE
IN.
DEVELOPING THAT PROPERTY.
OR AFFECTING THEIR LOW INCOME
HOUSING OR HOME AND IS
HOMELESSNESS HOUSING ON THESE
SITES.
AND THEY THEN IF THEY'RE
FRUSTRATED AT THE LOCAL LEVEL
WOULD COME HERE.
AND THAT'S A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT
SO I'D ASK YOU TO BE VERY
CAREFUL ABOUT THAT AS WE PROCEED.
THIS IS THESE FARES.
ARE OF INTEGRAL PART OF OUR
HISTORY.
IN OUR WN LOUNGE WE'VE SHOWCASE
THE POSTERS FROM THOSE HISTORIC
FAIRS.
WE MUST NOT FORGET THEM.
WE MUST NOT COMPROMISE SO I AM
ASKING THAT INDEED COMPROMISED
BE AFFECTED.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MISS YES IN
CENTER WHERE HE WOULD LIKE TO
RESPOND.
SO -- SENDER ABSOLUTELY YOU HAVE
MY COMMITMENT -- AS I EXPRESSED
TO MISTER BROWN THAT WHAT WE
WILL BE -- WORKING TOGETHER AND
DIALOGUING TOGETHER -- ABOUT
LEGISLATION WE WERE VERY CLEAR
THIS IS NOT TO BE A PROCESS AND
THIS IS A PRETTY UNIQUE
SITUATION INTO UNIQUE SORRY
UNIQUE SITUATION -- UNIQUE
HISTORY [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH WE'RE GONNA GO
TO THE VICE CHAIR.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I IN JUST
A FEW OBSERVATIONS COMMENTS AND
A FEW QUESTIONS BUT TO THE
LETTER FROM SENATOR COP -- WHO
IS VERY SPECIFIC ON IT A
SPECIFIC DATE THAT -- HE HAS
BEEN AT THE COW PALACE SINCE
DECEMBER.
TWENTY NINETEEN FIFTY FIVE DO
YOU REMEMBER WHERE YOU WERE ON
THAT DATE.
SO I TO SAID ABOUT SIT AND THINK
ABOUT THAT I COULDN'T REMEMBER
WHERE I WAS ON THAT DAY.
TOO I'M.
I WAS -- AGITATED BUT THE NEXT
DAY I WAS BORN.
YOU'RE DATING YOURSELF.
BUT I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS KIND
OF FUNNY TO SEE THAT DATE.
IN YOUR LETTER FIRST SENTENCE
BUT I I TO ENJOYED BEATING ON
THE ORANGE COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS
BACK WHEN SCHWARZENEGGER WHICH
PRESIDENT I WAS ONE OF THE AS A
SUPERVISOR WAS ONE OF THE
BIDDERS SO I CERTAINLY REMEMBER
THAT INTERESTING TIME -- ARE WE
WERE NOT THE WINNING BIDDER BUT
THE WHOLE THING WAS RESCINDED
AFTER A BRIEF TIME AND SO THE
ORANGE COUNTY IS STILL.
BEING RUN -- AS A A DISTRICT
AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION AND AND
DOING WELL -- I DID SOME
RESEARCH THE ORANGE COUNTY FAIR
I LIVE CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE
ORANGE COUNTY FAIR THAT I
ACTUALLY WALKED THERE.
YOU KNOW I MEAN IT'S A FEW
BLOCKS WHEN I WHEN THE BEARS ON
ANY WILL BOTHER WITH THE PARK I
JUST MY WIFE IS WHAT.
BUT HAVING.
IT HAS THE CROSSROADS OF THE
WEST GUN SHOW EVERY OTHER MONTH
AND AND I SEE NO INCREASE AND
THE ISSUES THAT ARE BEING RAISED.
FOR THE COW PALACE SAID THAT
THAT ISN'T.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHETHER I I JUST
CAN'T GET A COROLLARY SO I'M I'M
I'M SAYING I I DON'T SEE.
OF THE SAME ISSUES THAT ARE
BEING RAISED ABOUT THE GUN SHOW --
SO SO WITH THAT I JUST HAD.
YOU KNOW DOING SOME MORE
RESEARCH YOU ARE YOU KNOW IT AND
MEETING WITH IDIVIDUALS THERE
IS A SAN MATTEO COUNTY FAIR AND
THERE IS THE COW PALACE BOTH IN
SAN MATEO COUNTY.
AND THE COW PALACE IS A DISTRICT
AGRICULTURAL.
ASSOCIATION IT'S PART OF THE
FAIRS LIKE ORANGE COUNTY IS BUT
THE SAN MATEO.
COUNTY FAIRS ACTUALLY COUNTY
PROPERTY.
AND IT'S A COUNTY.
YOU KNOW TO SEARCH DIFFERENT
FROM ALL THE AG GROUPS SO I I'M
JUST CURIOUS FROM ANY OF THE
PARTIES -- HAS EVER BEEN
DISCUSSION INSTEAD OF DOING YOUR
PROPOSAL OF DOING A SWAP.
THE V. CALIPARI ODDLY COULD THAT
THE DOES THE AGRICULTURAL
DISTRICT IS BOTH SAN FRANCISCO
COUNTY AND CEMETERY COUNTY AND A
SMALL PIECE.
OF THE CAL PALACE AXES IN SAN
FRANCISCO -- THE BULK OF IT IS
AND CEMETERY COUNTY IN DALY CITY
BUT THOSE CROSSOVER IN SAN
FRANCISCO SO IT IS A TO COUNTY --
I'M UNAWARE IF THERE'S EVER BEEN
A PROPOSAL -- TO DO A SWAP -- SO
I CAN'T COMMENT ON THAT LET ME
GIVE YOU AN ANSWER -- AS FAR AS
I KNOW AND I'LL DATE THIS FROM.
NINETEEN SEVENTY ONE WHEN I WAS
ELECTED TO THE SAN FRANCISCO
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS THERE HAS
NOT BEEN ANY DISCUSSION OVER
MERGING.
OKAY JUST KIND OF CURIOUS AS I'M
LOOKING AT THE MAP YOU KNOW
BEING FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
BEEN.
ALL OVER YOUR COUNTIES BUT THE
FEELING OF MA I I KNOW YOU THE
TREASURES HERE OF CHARGE OF
MANAGING THE CASH.
CONTROL IS PROBABLY THE RIGHT
PERSON ASKED ME BUT YOU MAY KNOW.
IT IS OUR OUR OUR THE FDA'S EVEN
IN THAT CHART OF ACCOUNTS FOR
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA -- THEY
ARE A LISTED UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FOOD
AND AG.
SO KAREN ROSS -- DOES NO WE HAVE
I THINK SEVENTY EIGHT DIFFERENT
FAIRGROUNDS AROUND THE STATE AND
SO -- IT IS UNDER HER DEPARTMENT
BUT YES THERE THEY GET NO CASH
NO SUPPORT.
FROM THE STATE RIGHT AND AT THAT
WOULD EVEN BE IN THE CHART OF
ACCOUNTS I MEAN IF THEY WERE IF
YOU WANTED TO DO SOMETHING FOR
THESE AFFAIRS REJECT.
IT'S STILL IN THE CHART OF
ACCOUNTS -- BUT BECAUSE OF THE
TWO THOUSAND EIGHT FINANCIAL
CRISIS -- THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE
USED TO BUDGET A CERTAIN AMOUNT
LOUIS PROBABLY CAN TELL YOU HOW
MUCH WAS BUDGETED.
A WE FOUGHT FOR IT TO GET SOME
MONEY BACK INTO THE BUDGET --
WHICH WE WAS JUST UP -- A
PORTION OF THE SOME THAT USED TO
BE PROVIDED TO THE FAIRS AND
THEN IT WAS NEVER RESTORED.
AND THAT'S WHERE I THINK A LOT
OF THE COMPOUNDING PROBLEMS HAVE
OCCURRED BECAUSE THE MONEY WAS
NEVER -- RESTORED BACK IN THE
BUDGET AND THEN YOU KNOW
ASSEMBLYMEMBER GRAY THE PROPOSED
THE BILL TO ALLOCATE THE SALES
TAX TO HELP THE FAIRS BECAUSE OF
THE BUDGET ISSUES BUT I THINK --
LOUIS PROBABLY I CAN TELL YOU
WHERE.
ON HOW MUCH MONEY IN AND WHERE
ALL THESE ACCOUNTS ARE BURIED.
THANK YOU MANAGER MISTER.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR LOUIS
BROWN ON BEHALF THE WESTERN
FAIRS ASSOCIATION I IN FACT A
HORSE RACING WAS LEGALIZED IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN
NINETEEN THIRTY THREE AS BECAUSE
IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE A SUPPORT
FOR THE NETWORK A CALIFORNIA
FAIRS.
AND SO ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL --
GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER'S TERM --
THERE WAS A PERCENTAGE OF
LICENSE FEES A GENERATED BY
HORSE RACING THAT WENT TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AGRICULTURE.
AND THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
FORTY MILLION DOLLARS I NEVER
REALLY REACHED THAT AND SO
REALLY AT THE HEYDAY I THINK WE
WERE RECEIVING ABOUT THIRTY TWO
MILLION ON AN ANNUAL BASIS THAT
WOULD THEN GO TO THE DEPARTMENT
OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE.
THEY WOULD THEN DISTRIBUTE THAT
AMONGST THE FAIRS DISTRICT
AGOSTO SOLUTIONS AND COUNTY
FAIRS -- TO COVER OPERATING
EXPENSES BUT THEN THEY ALSO
COVERED OTHER -- AREAS LIKE
INSURANCE COSTS WORKERS
COMPENSATION RETIREMENT EXCEPT --
FOR THEN.
THE RECESSION HIT.
A GOVERNOR BROWN A RESCINDED ALL
THIRTY TWO MILLION FROM THE
GENERAL FUND FOR A PERIOD OF
ABOUT THREE YEARS -- AND FAIRS
WERE LEFT TO SURVIVE ON JUST
WHAT THE GENERATED A GOVERNOR
BROWN ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO --
THEN.
ADDED THREE MILLION DOLLARS TO
THE FROM THE GENERAL FUND TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND
AGRICULTURE FOR THE PURPOSES OF
HELPING THE SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZE
FAIRS.
SO THERE'S DIFFERENT
CLASSIFICATIONS IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND
AGRICULTURE BASED ON THE REVENUE
THE FARE.
ON THE SMALLEST FAIRS CLASSES
ONE THROUGH -- FOUR ARE THE ONES
THAT NOW RECEIVE SOME NOMINAL
SUPPORT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
FOOD AND AGRICULTURE TO HELP
THEM SUSTAIN ON THEIR OPERATING
SIDE -- BUT NO FAIR GROUND IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TODAY --
UNLESS THERE'S A SPECIAL
ALLOCATION RECEIVES ANY DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE ASSISTANCE.
OR ANYTHING BEYOND THAT NOMINAL
AMOUNT.
AND YOU'RE NOT GIVING ANYTHING
TO THE STATE EITHER.
WELL I WOULD -- AIM FOR PENSION
COSTS TO CALPERS SIR YES THE
SALES TAX CELLS CELLS TAX
GENERATED -- AT A LOCAL LEVEL
THE HOTELS THAT ARE GENERATED
THE RESTAURANT.
THAT'S JUST CORRECT CORRECT YES
FOR THE ON THE ON THE GROUNDS
THAT FAIRS DO PAY -- YOU KNOW
THEY PAY -- FOR AUTO INSURANCE
THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT GENERAL
INSPECTOR SERVICES THEY PAY
THEIR INSURANCE COSTS THEY PRO
RATTA FEES HOW TO THE DEPARTMENT
SO THERE IS SOME MONEY.
THAT COMES BACK TO THE
DEPARTMENT.
SO -- THESE.
FAIR GROUNDS ARE ON THE RUN.
FINANCIALLY WHATEVER THEY
GENERATE THEY KEEP -- I KNOW
THAT LAST YEAR SENATOR NIELSEN
AYE IN THE BUDGET CONFERENCE
OMMITTEE WE APPROVED A FIFTY
MILLION DOLLAR.
AMOUNT FOR THE CALYX BOTH YOU
KNOW BECAUSE IT AS DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE IN AS HAS INCREASING
COSTS TO AND I HEAR ON THE RADIO
THIS MORNING THAT THEY GET A
HOMELESS SHELTER FOR HUNDRED
BEDS -- TO SO THINGS ARE YOU
KNOW HAPPENING TO THESE THESE
THESE FACILITIES.
SO I'M I'M JUST CURIOUS --
SENATOR -- IF IF THE BIG ISSUE
FIRST WAS THE GUN SHOW WHITE ONE
IS IN THE STATE JUST.
THEY WOULD BE EARNING ON THE GUN
SHOW AND AND WILL GIVE THAT TO
YOU AND SWAP IT OUT.
SO THAT THE THE PAIR GROUND IS
IS IS.
IS EVEN AND THEN YOU TAKE CARE
OF THAT ISSUE IF IT'S AN ISSUE
AND THEN.
AND THEN THEN WE LOOK AT MAYBE A
BIGGER PLAN SAYING WHAT WE DO TO
THESE FAIRGROUNDS TO HELP THEM
OUT WITH THIS DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE.
SURE SO -- FIRST OF ALL THE THE
WITH REGARD VARYING ESTIMATES
FROM THE CAL PALACE FOR THE GUN
SHOW GENERATED ABOUT A
1-001-005-0000 DOLLARS A YEAR IN
REVENUE OUT OF A FOUR MILLION
DOLLAR -- BUDGET THAT THEY HAVE
SO IT'S A SMALL PORTION --
BECOME PALACES AND TOLD US
BECAUSE THEY BONTA ME INTO
SOMEONE AND TING ASKING FOR I
THINK TEN OR TWENTY MILLION
DOLLARS TO FIX THE ROOF AND DO
OTHER THINGS THIS IS IT'S A TINY
DROP IN THE BUCKET BUT TO BE
CLEAR.
EVEN THOUGH THE GUN SHOW ISSUE
HAS DOMINATED THE THE NEWS AND
TERMS OF THE TONE DEAFNESS OF
THE CALIPARI LOCAL COMMUNITY
ONCE THAT'S BEEN THE HEADLINES.
THE ISSUE RUNS MUCH DEEPER THAN
THAT AND THE LAND USE ISSUES ARE
ALSO -- A DEEP FRUSTRATION -- IN
THE LOCAL COMMUNITY SO THESE ARE
BOTH SIGNIFICANT ISSUES EVEN
THOUGH ONE IS GOT MORE PUBLIC
ATTENTION.
I GUESS WE COULD SOLVE THIS BY
JUST BUDGETING TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
RIGHT THE AND THAT WOULD BE A
FOR THE GUN SHOW JUST THAT THAT
COMPONENT AND THE OTHER PART OF
IT SENATORS IT'S MORE OF A
FAMILY FIGHT RIGHT IT'S LIKE WE
WE DON'T LIKE THE WAY THIS PLACE
IS.
BEING MANAGED AND SO THEREFORE
WE'RE GOING.
TO HAVE TO PUT A NEW OWNERSHIP
SO TO SPEAK AND AND I DON'T KNOW
OUR EVERY YOU KNOW THAT THE TERM.
THE TERMS OF IN USE LAND GRAB --
EMIT EMINENT DOMAIN -- I'M REAL
NERVOUS I'M ARM REAL NERVOUS
ABOUT THAT KIND OF APPROACH
BECAUSE OF WHAT IT WHAT IT SAYS
TO EVERYBODY ELSE AND AND IT'S
LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO SETTLE.
A LOCAL PROBLEM HERE IN
SACRAMENTO AND I I HAVE TROUBLE
WITH THAT TO HELP ME OUT WELL.
YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT.
THIS IS NOT LIKE TO CITIES
FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER GO TO
SACRAMENTO THIS IS.
LAND THAT IS THE PROBLEM IS IT
AGENCY OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WITH A BOARD OF
DIRECTORS APPOINTED BY THE
GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA.
THIS IS NOT LIKE LOCAL FIGHT
THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT OUR LOCAL
COMMUNITY HAS WITH A STATE
AGENCY THAT IS NOT LISTENING THE
LOCAL COMMUNITY AT OUR ONLY
RECOURSE OUR ONLY RECOURSE.
IS TO GO TO THE STATE FIX THE
SITUATION SO THAT'S WHY IT'S
HERE.
BUT YOU'RE ASKING THE STATE TO
IN A SENSE TRANSFER OVER IT'S
THE A A TO A J. P. A. N. THAT.
THAT'S KIND OF INTERESTING ASK
ISN'T RIGHT AND WE AND WE DO
HAVE IN TIME I WAS IN THE BILL
THE WORKED OUT WITH THE
COMMITTEE.
ABOUT WORKING ON HOW THE
FINANCIAL -- ARRANGEMENT WILL
OCCUR -- AND WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE STATE -- IS IS
MADE WHOLE AND THAT COULD HAPPEN
IN THE FUTURE IF THERE'S
DEVELOPMENT HERE -- THE STATE
COULD HAVE A STAKE IN THE
DEVELOPMENT THERE COULD BE A
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT WAYS OF
DOING IT BUT WE DID WE HAVE
AGREED TO THAT TIME LANGUAGE.
AND THAT WILL BE AN ISSUE WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK ON WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION AS WELL.
I'M JUST WONDERING CENTER COP
YOU HAVE A REBUTTAL TO THAT.
HELLO DECIDED YOU YO REVIEW OF
HIGHLIGHTED THE FACT.
HASN'T FOR ALMOST A DECADE
GOTTEN ANY MONEY OUT OF A STATE
BUDGET.
AND NUMBER -- TWO IT MAKES MONEY
IT TURNS A PROFIT EVERY YEAR.
AND CONTRA RATED TESTIMONY FROM
AS MAMA IT IS IN GOOD SHAPE
EXCEPT FOR THE ROOF [inaudible]
AND INCLUDING MONEY. FOR A NEW
ROOF WOULD BE AN ACT THAT WOULD
DISTINGUISH THOSE COMMITTEE NOT
JUST IN MY MIND BUT IN THE MINDS
OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
REPRESENTED.
BY THOSE WHO TESTIFIED AS
WITNESSES. TO SUPPORT A BILL
THAT EXCLUDED BUT TRANSFER.
WITHOUT COMPENSATION OF THE
SIXTY EIGHT OR SEVENTY ACRES
ITSELF.
THANK YOU SANDERS THANK YOU
MISTER THANK YOU MISTER VICE
CHAIR WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF WE
NEED TO SHOW QUESTIONS ARE
COMMON SIDE IF YOU COMMENTED
LIKE THEIR TO MAKE BUT BEFORE WE
DO LIKE TO BE TO SEE IF ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
FROM THE COMMITTEE IN THE FINAL
[inaudible]
ALL RIGHT.
SO I JUST WANT TO SAY.
THANK YOU FOR THE DISCUSSION
HERE TODAY ON ON ALL SIDES.
WE ARE ALWAYS GRATEFUL THAT
CENTER COPPICING COMMITTEE THANK
YOU SIR AND WIENER THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO BE ABLE
TO WORK WITH THE COMMITTEE WOULD
LIKE TO BE TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF
THE AMENDMENTS.
BECAUSE THE THE AMENDMENTS ARE
THERE SOME FAMILIAR THEMES --
AND SIMILAR THEMES THAT MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE OF ADVANCED.
ONE IS THERE'S LANGUAGE THAT --
THE SENATOR FROM SAN FRANCISCO'S
AGREED -- TO TO ENSURE THAT THE
STATE DOES NOT LOSE REVENUE AS A
RESULT OF THE TRANSFER.
I IN THAT THE STATE IS CAPITAL.
IN THAT FOLLOWS PRESIDENT WITH
OTHER LAND WHETHER IT IS A
DEVELOPMENTAL CENTERS -- TO
STATE HIGHWAY RIGHT AWAY CENTER
AND MAINTAINED TO ENSURE THAT
THE STATE GENERAL FUND IS
CAPITAL.
I IN THAT BRINGS IT INTO
CONSISTENT STATUS WITH PREVIOUS
[inaudible]
ANGEL TRANSACTION.
IN ADDITION IN THIS IS AN ITEM
THAT AT SHARED SENATOR AND ALSO
SHARED WITH MISTER BROWN -- IN
NOT HAVING A BILL THAT CREATES
PRECEDENT FOR OTHER FAIRS -- IN
I DO AGREE WITH -- CENTER
NIELSEN FIND ENSURING THAT THIS
IS NOT GOING TO BE PRECEDENT
SETTING AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
HI AND THERE IS INTENT LANGUAGE
THAT IS NOW IN THIS BILL HAS
BEEN ACCEPTED BY THE AUTHOR.
I'LL ALSO SAY THAT -- WE ALL
HAVE.
ISSUES WITHIN OUR DISTRICTS THAT
ARE OF UTMOST CONCERN.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT
THIS AS A LOCAL ISSUE.
OBVIOUSLY THIS IS BEEN AN
ONGOING COMMUNITY DISCUSSION --
WITH -- A DALY CITY -- WITH THE
COUNTY SAN MATTEO -- AND
SOMEWHAT WITH THE CITY AND
COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO.
BUT I THINK BOTTOM LINE IS IS
GOING TO BE AN ISSUE THIS
COMMAND TO MORE IMPORTANT NEVER
TO BE ABLE TO RESOLVE.
I'M IN THERE ARE CHALLENGES --
AND I'M NOT FROM THE AREA BUT
NOT VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA
THERE ARE CHALLENGES IN THAT
PART OF THE CITY -- IN WHILE
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DONE SHOWS --
THAT IS ONE ISSUE -- AND WE TAKE
A LOOK AT WHETHER IT IS THE
PRIVATE SECTION FOR THE COW
PALACE SECTION.
DALY CITY SECTION.
OF WHAT IT MAKE IT LAND OR
POTENTIAL LAND THERE ARE DEVELOP
AROUND -- THE COW PALACE.
THERE COULD POTENTIALLY BE SOME
HIGHEST AND BEST USE.
AND BEING VERY HONEST ABOUT IT --
THE ONLY WAY TO BE ABLE TO START
HAVING A COLLABORATIVE
CONVERSATION BECAUSE IT SEEMS
LIKE FROM AN OUTSIDER LOOKING IN.
FOLKS ARE DONE AGAIN IS TO BE
ABLE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE CONTINUE
TO ALLOW FOR THE CONVERSATION.
THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO BE
SUPPORTIVE OF THIS TODAY --
THAT'S WHY WE'VE ADVANCED THE
AMENDMENTS. TO ENSURE THAT THE
STATE IS KEPT WHOLE THIS IS NOT
CREATE A PRECEDENT AND IT IS
TIME FOR THIS CONVERSATION THAT --
BE RESOLVED ONCE AND FOR ALL --
IN ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT IS NOT
GONNA MAKE SOME FOLKS HAPPY --
BUT IT'S AN IMPORTANT
CONVERSATION TO HAVE NONE THE
LESS.
SO THAT THAT'S WHERE I CURRENTLY
STAND TODAY NO TURN OVER -- TO
CENTER WIENER -- FOR ANY CLOSING
COMMENTS RESPECTFUL S. FROM MY
VOTE THANK YOU SO MUCH IN A
WINNER -- PLEASE.
CENTER AND WE DO WE HAVE THAT
PRESIDENTIAL LANGUAGE.
