LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC AND
THE PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ANY OF
THESE ISSUES -- I GUESS
[inaudible]
OKAY -- GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR
YOU IF YOU WOULD IDENTIFY WHICH
OF THE ISSUE THANK YOU -- I'M
ASKING PLEASED TO I HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY SPEAK WITH YOU AND I
APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY SO
REGARDING ISSUE NUMBER.
SIXTY SEVEN THE CORRECTIVE CRUEL
FLAW IN THE JUDICIAL RETIREMENT
SYSTEM TO GET AFFECTS ALL JUDGES
IN CALIFORNIA.
APPOINTED OR ELECTED SINCE
NOVEMBER OF NINETEEN NINETY FOUR
I PROMISE TO BE BRIEF I KNOW YOU
HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES AND IT'S
DANGEROUS WHEN A JUDGE -- LOWER
PROMISES TO BE BRIEF BUT I WILL
DO MY BEST I AM A JUDGE FROM
THIS PER QUARTER FRESNO COUNTY I
HAVE BEEN FOR TWENTY YEARS AND
I'M THE DIRECTOR OF THE ALLIANCE
OF CALIFORNIA JUDGES.
A SPONSOR OF SENATE BILL.
ONE EIGHTY FOUR I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT THE URGENCY AND THE REASON
WHY IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO
INCLUDE THIS IS TRAILER BILL --
THE CRUEL FLYING JERAS TO IS
THAT A JUDGE WHO LEAVES A DAY
BEFORE REACHING THE MANDATORY
RETIREMENT AGE LOSES MORE THAN
HALF OF THEIR RETIREMENT -- AS
AN EXAMPLE.
I HAVE FULLY FUNDED MY A SHARE
OF THAT SYSTEM -- THAT SYSTEM IS
ONE HUNDRED AND 2% FUNDED NOW
UNLIKE VERY.
MANY OTHER PUBLIC EMPLOYEE
PENSION PROGRAMS.
AND IT HAS BEEN FULLY FUNDED
SINCE ITS INCEPTION.
pESTIMATED BY CALPERS AND THE
DEPARTMENT FINANCE AT TWENTY ONE
MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE LIFE OF
THE PLAN THAT IS NOT A ONGOING
BLEEDING.
HOLE IN THE BUDGET THIS IS A
TOTAL OF TWENTY ONE MILLION OVER
THE LIFE OF THE PLAN IN ORDER TO
MAKE THIS SMALL CHANGE TOO
GENEROUS.
TO THE PROBLEM WITH CHAIR AS TO
IS THAT IF THE JUDGE DIES OR
LEAVES A DAY BEFORE THEY REACH
THE MANDATORY RETIREMENT AGE
THEY LOSE THEIR DEFINED BENEFIT
FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR SPOUSE --
I TRUST YOU ARE IN RECEIPT OF
JUDGE HER OVER -- RATHER.
NOT SENATOR MORE LOCKS A BUDGET
REQUEST AND THE LETTER HOPEFULLY
FROM A PRESIDENT OF THE ALLIANCE
A CALIFORNIA JUDGE STEVE WHITE.
THAT GAVE SOME RATHER HORRIFYING
EXAMPLES OF HOW THIS THING
AFFECT PEOPLE JUDGES LITERALLY
EXTENDING THEIR LIVES ON
CHEMOTHERAPY AND OTHERWISE.
AT TO REACH RETIREMENT AGE SO
THAT THEIR FAMILIES ARE NOT LEFT
WITH LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT THEY
LEARNED.
IT'S A SMALL ASK IT'S IT'S
DESIGNED ONLY TO REACH THOSE
UNIQUE CASES WHERE JUDGES NEED
TO LEAVE.
EITHER BECAUSE THEY'RE BURNED
OUT THERE PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO
CONTINUE THE JOB THEY'RE FACING
A LIFE CRISIS OR FAMILY MEMBERS
FACING.
ONE WITHOUT JUDGES WATCH THEIR
FAMILY MEMBERS FADE AWAY DUE TO
ALZHEIMER'S HAVING TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY CAN GET A BENEFIT FOR
THEM.
NOT KNOWING HOW LONG THEY MIGHT
LIVE UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS
WE'VE HAD JUDGES EXTENDING THEIR
LIVES WITH CHEMOTHERAPY THOSE
EXAMPLES ARE CITED OUR LETTER
AND THERE ARE COUNTLESS OTHERS.
I JUST LEARNED THIS MORNING OF A
JUDGE IN SAN DIEGO SIXTY YEARS
OLD JUST DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.
I TO FIGURE OUT HOW SHE'S GOING
TO MAKE IT FIVE YEARS TO GET TO
RETIREMENT.
WE ARE ASKING FOR NOTHING MORE
THAN WHAT EVERY OTHER PUBLIC
EMPLOYEE IN CALIFORNIA HAS WHICH
IS A RIGHT. TO YEARS OF SERVICE
AT AGE OF RETIREMENT.
IF A JUDGE LEAVES THE JUDGE GETS
NOT A DOLLAR MORE NOT A DAY
SOONER UNDER THIS PROPOSAL.
THE JUDGE WOULD LEAVE WITHOUT A
PAYCHECK WITHOUT A RETIREMENT
CHECK IN IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO
WOULD PAY FOR THEIR OWN HEALTH
BENEFITS WHILE THEY AWAIT THE
CHECK THAT ULTIMATELY COMES TO
THEM OR THEIR SURVIVORS.
AT THE NORMAL RETIREMENT DATE.
THE VERY SMALL REQUEST WE
CERTAINLY HOPE THAT YOU'LL
CAREFULLY CONSIDER PUTTING IT
INTO THAT BUDGET SO WE CAN GET
THIS DONE BEFORE ANOTHER JUDGE
FACES THAT COOLS THE
CIRCUMSTANCE THANK YOU THANK YOU
EVERY SERVICE -- CONSIDERING THE
NUMBER OF OF VISITORS WE HAVE
YOUR IF WE COULD LEAVEIT TO A
MAX OF TWO MINUTES OUT REALLY
APPRECIATED THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
PLEASE.
NICOLE ORNAMENT ON BEHALF OF THE
ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF

FORTY MILLION DOLLARS GOING INTO
A ORANGE COUNTY HOUSING FINANCE
FRONT.
THE TRUST WAS ESTABLISHED LAST
YEAR IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE
COUNTY AND CITIES WITH AN ORANGE
COUNTY TO COLLABORATIVELY
ADDRESS THEIR HOMELESSNESS
POPULATION -- THIS FIRST BIT OF

IMMEDIATELY START UILDING
SUPPORT OF HOUSING UNITS WHICH
ARE ALREADY IN THE PIPELINE
THANK YOU.
SPARKY HARLAN CEO BILL WILSON
CENTER IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY
SPEAKING TO ITEM FORTY THREE THE
HOMELESS YOUTH HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLAR FUNDING.
I SPEAK TO THIS BECAUSE SANTA
CLARA COUNTY CURRENTLY PROVIDES
LESS THAN 5% OF ITS FUNDING FOR
HOMELESS YOUTH.
AND CONSIDERS IT A LOW PRIORITY
EVEN THOUGH THE LAST POINT IN
TIME COUNT.
HOMELESS YOUTH REPRESENTED 40%
OF THE HOMELESS POPULATION.
INDICATIONS ARE IT'S GOING TO GO
UP 50% IN THIS CURRENT POINT IN
TIME COUNT.
BEING CLOSE TO FOUR THOUSAND WE
NEED TO HAVE A PRIORITY
STATEWIDE ON HOMELESS YOUTH
BECAUSE FRANKLY THE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS JUST DO NOT DO
THAT FOR THE HEAT MONEY.
EVEN THOUGH THE COUNTY BROADBAND
ELEVEN MILLION BASED ON OUR
pACCOUNT FOR YOU.
THEY GAVE A MILLION TO YOU IF WE
HAD GOTTEN THAT TOTAL PERCENTAGE
SO WHEN YOU CONSIDER HEAT MONEY
IF YOU SAY A MINIMUM FOR YOU OR
BASED ON YOUR POINT IN TIME
COUNT.
THAT WOULD BE A HUGE BENEFIT TO
US TO GET MORE MONEY FOR
HOMELESS YOU CURRENTLY MOST OF
OUR MONEY FOR HOMELESS YOUTH
EITHER COMES FROM CALLOW YES.
OR FEDERAL HUD BUT NOT LOCAL
JURISDICTION SO PLEASE SUPPORT
THIS REQUEST THANK YOU.

MAJORITY MINORITY STATE BUT THAT
WONDERFUL DIVERSITY IS NOT

ADDS AND ASK AND WE ARE TECH
COMPANY WITH OUR HEADQUARTERS.
IN THE TENDERLOIN IN SAN
FRANCISCO.
I FIRST I'M HERE SPEAKING IN
SUPPORT OF ISSUE THIRTY I FIRST
BECAME INVOLVED WITH THE SAN
FRANCISCO GAY MEN'S CHORUS IN
TWENTY SEVENTEEN THE
ORGANIZATION HAD ANNOUNCED PLANS
FOR ITS LAVENDER PEN TO WERE
A JOURNEY THROUGH FIVE STATE
SITUATED IN THE DEEP SOUTH ALL
OF WHICH HAVE PASSED ANTI LGBT
Q. LEGISLATION IN ONE FORM OR
THE OTHER.
THIS TOUR SOUGHT NEITHER TO
PREACH ITS MISSION TO THE
COMMUNITIES THEY VISITED NOR
DISMISSED THE VALUES THESE
COMMUNITIES OF HELD.
INSTEAD IT SOUGHT TO BRING
RESOURCES TO THE SMALL OFTEN
INVISIBLE AND VERY UNDER
RESOURCE LGBT COMMUNITY AND
NONPROFITS SERVING VERY
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.
IT'S NOT TO USE MUSIC AS AN
EQUALIZER AND VEHICLE FOR
ENGAGING IN DEEPLY LAYERED
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT INCLUSIVITY
ACCEPTANCE AND CIVIL LIBERTIES
FOR ALL.
AND IT DID SO BY LEVERAGING THE
BEAUTY OF MUSIC TO DO IT IT
CHANGES SO MANY HEARTS AND MINDS.
AND IT HURTS MY EYES WERE OPENED
IN WAYS THEY HADN'T BEEN OPENED
BEFORE I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED
ANYTHING LIKE IT IN MY LIFE.
AS A MOTHER OF A SIX YEAR OLD
WHO'S ONLY WORLD RIGHT NOW IS
WHERE THE BERRY OF ENTRY TO
ACCEPTANCE IS NOT BEING NICE --
I FEAR THE DAY WHEN SHE'S
REMOVED FROM THAT WORLD WHERE
DISCRIMINATION HASN'T YET
ENTERED.
HER MIND I KNOW IT'S I KNOW IT'S
COMING BUT FOR NOW I'D LOVE TO
PRESERVE THAT NOT ONLY FOR HER
BUT FOR SO MANY POPULATIONS THAT
NEEDED. TO THE SAN FRANCISCO GAY
MEN'S CHORUS IS VERY IMPORTANT
TO ME AND MY FAMILY.
BUT IT'S ALSO BECOME A CENTRAL
ORGANIZATION FOR ZENDESK -- OUR
HEADQUARTERS AS I MENTIONED ARE
IN SAN FRANCISCO AND WE'VE SEEN
THE CHORUS AS A CENTRAL DRIVING
FORCE FOR US WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
INCLUSIVITY ESPECIALLY AROUND
THE LGBT COMMUNITY.
AND WE SEE THE CHORUS AS SUCH A
POWERFUL ARTS ORGANIZATION TO
GALVANIZE COMMUNITIES AROUND
CHANGE.
AS MOST OF YOU KNOW HERE LGBT Q.
ACCEPTED SAID INCLUDES
INCLUSIVITY CONTINUES TO BE A
BATTLE.
YOU CAN EVEN ARISE TO THE LEVER
LEVEL OF SECURING PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDACY AND CAN STILL BE
PUBLICLY HARASSED AND HIT WITH
HATEFUL SPEECH.
SLURS AND DISRESPECT.
TEEN SUICIDE AMONG THE LGBTQ
POPULATION IS HIGHER THAN IT'S
EVER BEEN AND THIS IS ESPECIALLY
SO IN THOSE COMMUNITIES WERE
RESOURCES ARE SCARCE AND EVEN
NON EXISTENT.
THAT'S WHY THE SAN FRANCISCO GAY
MEN'S CHORUS HAS PURCHASED A
PERMANENT HOME FOR ITSELF AT ONE
SEVENTY VALENCIA STREET IN SAN
FRANCISCO.
BUT THIS HOME IS NOT JUST A HOME
FOR THE CHORUS IT IS TO BE THE
NATION'S VERY FIRST NATIONAL
LGBTQ CENTER FOR THE ARTS FOR
ARTISTS FROM ALL OVER CALIFORNIA
AND EVEN THE UNITED STATES.
THE CENTER CAN GO WANT TO CREATE
A NEW GENERATION OF WORKS THAT
WILL ELEVATE THE CONVERSATION ON
INCLUSIVITY IT WILL SERVE AS A
BEACON OF HOPE AND INNOVATION.
IT WILL BE A SPACE FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS CAN MAKE TWENTY
FIRST CENTURY RELEVANT NEW WORKS
THAT WILL NOT ONLY GIVE VOICE TO
TODAY'S LGBT COMMUNITY WILL SEEK
TO CULTIVATE A TWENTY FIRST
CENTURY AUDIENCE AS WELL.
THE STATE SUPPORT IS CRITICAL TO
MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS MEETING

SOMEBODY IN A VALLEY COLLEGE.
IS WORKING SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY THE COUNTY

SIXTY SIX I'M THE THIRD LEG OF
THAT STOOL OF WHERE WE'VE COME
TOGETHER WITH OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL
SYSTEM WITH DALE MARCIN AND ARE
OF JUNIOR COLLEGE SYSTEM.
AS THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY A STEP
FORWARD YOU KNOW AS THE
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE STARTS TO
SHRINK AND THAT WE FIND
EMPLOYERS HIGH I MEAN EMPLOYEES
HARDER AND HARDER TO FIND.
THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM IS JUST
BEEN AND NOT GET INTO AND A
JEWEL IN OUR COMMUNITY TO BE

SIXTY SIX AS WELL.
AS YOU'VE HEARD FROM MY CALL IN
AND SEE GROUP HERE TODAY YES WE
DO AS YOU'VE HEARD FROM MY
COLLEAGUES -- THE THE PROGRAM
THAT WERE REALLY TRYING TO
LAUNCH YOUR ENGINE GENERATION
GOES ARE INCREDIBLY DESTRUCTIVE
PROGRAM BUT IT FROM A COUNTY
WIDE PERSPECTIVE WE'RE LOOKING
TO WERE SEEKING TO SERVE BOTH
OUR BUSINESSES.
AND OUR COMMUNITIES AND WE SEE
THIS AS AN AVENUE FOR US TO
REALLY DISRUPT COMMUNITIES AND
REALLY RAISE THE TIGHT SORT OF
RISE TO TIED TO RISING TIDE
LIFTS ALL BOATS -- ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT -- MY COLLEAGUES DID
NOT SAY IS WE STARTED WITH ONE
OF THE MOST DISTRESSED
COMMUNITIES IN THE ENTIRE
COUNTRY.
AND WE'RE SHOWING OUT COMES WITH
THE WITH THE THESE COMMUNITIES
SOME OF THE STUDENTS HAVE COME
FROM LONG GENERATIONS OF FAMILY
HISTORIES OF NO ONE ATTENDING OR
THINKING A EVEN ABOUT COLLEGE
AND WE'RE SEEING.
COLLEGE GOING RATES INCREASE IN
COLLEGE.
THE THE PURSUIT OF FURTHERING
EDUCATION INCREASED AND THESE
KIDS ARE GETTING JBS.
AS THE COUNTY OF SAN BERNIE DINO
OUR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ALSO
SIGNED ON TO THIS PROGRAM AND
DECIDED THAT WE REALIZE IT BUT
THAT NO STUDENT GROWS UP HOPING
TO WORK FOR THE COUNTY OF SAN
BERNIE DINO SO WE NEEDED TO
ESTABLISH OUR OWN PIPELINES AS
WELL.
AND SO WE DECIDED THAT WE ARE
GOING TO PUT ASIDE MONIES SO
THAT WE CAN TAKE ON A HUNDRED
AND TWENTY KIDS THIS YEAR.
THE RESULTS OF THAT PROBE THAT
THAT IN THAT PART OF A PILOT
PROGRAM IS ARE PHENOMENAL WE'RE
ACTUALLY CONTINUING OUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH THESE YOUNG
PEOPLE BECAUSE OUR INTENT IS.
TO HOPEFULLY BRING THEM INTO THE
COUNTY AS REAL VIBRANT TALENT
AND THESE ARE KIDS ONCE AGAIN
FROM VERY DISTRESSED COMMUNITIES
AND WE HAVE EVEN TESTED THIS
WITH.
THE CONTINUATION SCHOOL SO WE
SEE THIS AS A FACET OF SERVING
THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE THE
COMMUNITIES ARE GOING TO INVOLVE
IT IF YOU IMAGINE WHAT TEN YEARS
FROM NOW THESE KIDS ARE ALL
GOING TO BE PROFESSIONALS IN
THEIR OWN RIGHT IN THEIR OWN
CAREERS.
AND THEY'RE LIVING IN THESE
COMMUNITIES WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN IN THE COMMUNITIES AT
THAT POINT SO WE SEE THIS AS
COMMUNITY SERVING AND BUSINESS

DARRYL STAMBERG CROSS WHICH
HERE'S THE BIG CITY MAYORS

THE MAYOR SUPPORT THE DASCHLE

SENSE FRAMEWORK BUT WE CONTINUE

SPLIT BETWEEN THE CITIES AND THE
CEO SEES.
A YESTERDAY THE BIG CITY MAYORS

BASE OF HOUSING ADVOCATES PUT
FORTH A JOINT BUDGET REQUEST --
IN THAT REQUEST INCLUDE A ONE
BILLION -- ONE TEN ALLOCATION OF
FUNDS SPLIT FIFTY FIFTY BETWEEN

GOOD AFTERNOON SHARON REPORT
WITH THE CORPORATION FOR SUPPORT
OF HOUSING -- WE ALSO SUPPORT
INCREASE INVESTMENT AND USE
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS WAS
GLAD TO SEE THAT THE FRAMEWORK.
HOWEVER WE DO HAVE CONCERNS AND
I GUESS I MAYBE.
I'M GOING TO TRY AND TALK YOU
OUT OF ADOPTING THE FRAMEWORK
AROUND THE HOMELESS PROVISIONS
AS A WHOLE -- WE HAVE CONCERNS
WITH PUTTING MORE MONEY INTO THE
HOMELESS EMERGENCY AID PROGRAM.
WE DO SEE HOMELESSNESS IS A
CRISIS WITH -- OVER NINE HUNDRED
PEOPLE DYING ON THE STREETS OF
LOS ANGELES ALONE LAST YEAR --
WE THINK OF HOMELESSNESS IS A
MORAL CRISIS DECADES IN THE
MAKING THAT WILL TAKE --
COMPREHENSIVE THOUGHTFUL
APPROACH TO ADDRESSING
HOMELESSNESS -- AND WE DO NOT
THINK THAT A TEMPORARY EMERGENCY
RESPONSE THROUGH THE HOMELESS
EMERGENCY AID PROGRAM IS THE
RIGHT RESPONSE.
I WELL WE APPRECIATE THE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO BEGIN A
DIALOGUE AND WOULD LOVE TO BEGIN
THE BILL BE PART OF THAT
DIALOGUE AROUND A COMPREHENSIVE
RESPONSE.
WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT WORKS TO
SOLVE HOMELESSNESS WE KNOW FROM --
LOTS OF RESEARCH DECADES OF
RESEARCH AND AND WHAT HAS WORKED
AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL -- AND
IT'S AND THERE'S NO TIME LIKE
THE PRESENT ACTUALLY BEGIN TO
PUT SOME OF THOSE -- PROVEN
SOLUTIONS AND MOTIONS THIS YEAR --
AS JUST MENTION THE BIG CITY
MAYORS AND A COALITION OF OVER
SIXTY FIVE HOMELESS ADVOCATES
ARE PROPOSING AN INVESTMENT OF
ONE BILLION DOLLARS -- AND THIS
IS A LESS THAN ONE HALF OF 1% OF
OF THIS YEAR'S STATE BUDGET.
THE FLEXIBLE POOL FOR HOUSING
AND SERVICES BALANCES A CRISIS
RESPONSE WITH LONG TERM
SOLUTIONS PROVEN TO SOLVE
HOMELESSNESS -- THIS POOL IS THE
FIRST STEP IN THE STATE CAN TAKE
TO GET PEOPLE OFF THE STREET NOW
IT ALSO INCLUDES AGGRESSIVE TIME
LINES FOR GETTING THE MONEY OUT
QUICKLY -- AND MORE IMPORTANTLY
IT IS A STEP TOWARD A MORE
COMPREHENSIVE RESPONSE THIS YEAR
WITHOUT DELAYING IMPLEMENTING OF
WHAT WHAT WE NOW WORKS TO SOLVE
HOMELESSNESS SO I URGE YOU TO
CONSIDER THIS PROPOSAL AS AN
ALTERNATIVE.
THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
AND FINALLY -- CHRIS MARTIN WITH
HOUSING CALIFORNIA WANT TO ALIGN
MYSELF WITH THE PREVIOUS TWO
SPEAKERS WHERE -- A PART OF THAT
COALITION -- WITH THE BIG CITY
MAYORS AND AND HOUSING AND
HOMELESSNESS ADVOCATES -- BUT
JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE NEED
FOR MORE LONG TERM.
APPROACH TO OUGHT TO
HOMELESSNESS GETTING PEOPLE INTO
HOUSING-- THE FLEXIBLE THAT WAS
MENTIONED IS A POOL THAT COULD
GET PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS
IMMEDIATELY BUT ALSO KEEP THEM
HOUSE ON THE LONG TERM SO WE
BELIEVE THAT'S A WAY TO SOLVE
BOTH OF THE THE NEEDS OF THE
IMMEDIATE NEED AND KEEP PEOPLE
HOUSE -- LONG TERM IN AND LOOK
FORWARD TO AND HOPE TO BE A PART
OF THE DISCUSSION AROUND A LONG
TERM SOLUTION THANKS.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH
[inaudible]

YOU SAID ABOUT LONG TERM
SOLUTIONS VERSUS ONE TIME FIXES --
THIS IS A CONTINUING

[inaudible]
WELCOME.
SENATOR RAZA I NIELSEN SENATOR
UMBERG.
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR COMING
[inaudible]
OKAY -- YEAH.
IN.
ORDER
.
ALL RIGHT SO [inaudible]
OKAY.
SO MADAM CHAIR -- IN ORDER FOR
FOLKS TO BUILD FOCUS THEIR
COMMENTS I WANT TO COMMENT ON
ISSUE NUMBER SEVENTY TWO AND
NUMBER -- SEVENTY THREE ISSUE
NUMBER SEVENTY TWO OF ONE OF THE
QUESTIONS ALL HAVE IS.
HOW IT IS -- SIMILAR TO THE
CALIFORNIA JOB CHALLENGE ACADEMY
AT LASALLE MIDDLE SO VISITED
THAT LOCATION EXTREMELY
IMPRESSED.
SO IF YOU COULD COMMENT ON THAT --
I'M INCLINED TO SUPPORT BOTH
THOSE MEASURES SAUL LET YOU TALK
ME OUT OF THAT IF YOU'RE
INCLINED -- MAY BE EXPLAINED THE
SIMILARITIES AND THE MANAGER IF
THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU WE'LL GO
FROM THERE.
SO.
YEAH -- WILL BE TIGHT ON TIME IN
TERMS OF THE ISSUES THAT NEED TO
VOTE SO.
WE WANNA MOVE FORWARD SO -- THE
NEXT ITEM IS THE DISCOVERY --
CHALLENGE ACADEMY EXPANSION OVER
ONE OUT WELCOME MADE GENERAL
BALDWIN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING
HERE MAJOR.
THANK YOU SENATOR I AM A DEFAULT
ON ON THE EDGE IN GENERAL I RUN
THE MILITARY DEPARTMENT AND IN
THE TO BE BRIEF ALL JUST ANSWER
CENTER IN BERKS QUESTION THE
PROGRAMS RIGHT DENTICLE SO WE
RUN THREE CHALLENGE PROGRAMS ONE
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AT LOS
ALAMITOS.
WANNA CANCELLOUS MISSPOKE AND
THE WITH OUR NEWEST ONE IS THE
ONE THE DISCOVERY ONE THAT'S IN
A LATE THREATEN THAT SERVES THE
SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY BORDER UP FOR
OF EDUCATION.
SO AGAIN I'M I'M I'M INTERESTED
WHAT THE PER FINANCES SAY IN LA --
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT THOSE
OTHER FACILITIES SO.
ADDING THAT CAVIAR -- LET IF YOU
DON'T MIND THAT I'M SURE WE'LL
HEAR FROM FINANCE AND LA -- AND
THEN [inaudible]
BEFORE.
THE LAST WORD PARTNER FINANCE WE
HAVE NOTHING THAT AT THE
STANFORD. FOR A FURTHER --
SEVENTY TWO PULLING HER TO THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE WE
DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH THE
DISCOVERY CHALLENGE PROGRAM AS
YOU INDICATED ON THERE'S
ACTUALLY QUITE A BIT OF EVIDENCE
ON THAT PROGRAM AND WERE VERY
COMFORTABLE THAT PROPOSAL.
I'M WITH REGARD TO THE SECOND
PROPOSAL -- WITH REGARD TO THAT
JOB CHALLENGE PROGRAM -- WE
THINK IT'S VERY PROMISING THERE
BEEN A COUPLE OF PILOT PROGRAMS
THREE PILOT PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN
DONE IN OTHER STATE.
OTHER STATES EXCUSE ME THERE'S
LIMITED DATA AVAILABLE AT THIS
POINT THERE'S SOME VERY
PROMISING DATA BUT IT'S PRETTY
LIMITED AND SO OUR
RECOMMENDATION WAS JUST -- TO
HAVE THE DEPARTMENT REPORT BACK
ON I'M WHAT ITS PLANS COULD BE
FOR EVALUATING THE SUCCESS THAT
PROGRAM ON A ONGOING BASIS THAT
WAY THE LEGISLATURE CAN ENSURE
THAT IT'S ACHIEVING THE INTENDED
OUTCOMES.
THANK YOU I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF
I SHOULD BE SHORT OF QUESTIONS
IS I NOTICED IN TERMS OF THE THE
STAFFING -- THAT YOU'VE INCLUDED
A RECRUITER POSITION -- WHICH I
DON'T UNDERSTAND IT SEEMS LIKE
WITH ALL THE NEEDS THAT YOU HAVE.
OF THE EURO YOU REALLY NEED A
RECRUITER AS MUCH AS YOU DO.
OTHER STAFF IN SO -- I'M NOT
SURE WHY.
WITH WITH THE SUCCESS THAT
YOU'RE HAVING AN IS -- WAIT.
THE WAIT LIST.
RUMORS A WAIT LIST AT ALL LEVELS
THE FROM THE FUNCTION OF THAT
INDIVIDUAL IS MORE OF AN
ADMISSIONS COORDINATOR.
WHAT THEY DO IS ONCE THEIR
PARENTS EXPRESSED INTEREST AND
WE RUN THROUGH OUR LOTTERY
SYSTEM TO SELECT WHICH?
STUDENTS ARE TO BE ABLE TO
ATTEND THEY THEN ASSIST THE THE
PARENTS OF THE GUARDIANSOF THE
POTENTIAL STUDENT TO MAKE SURE
THEY HAVE ALL THE PAPERWORK ALL
THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION.
THEY NEED TO COMMAND SO IT'S
PRETTY IMPORTANT -- POSITIONS TO
HELP DO THE ADMINISTRATION OF
THE INTAKE SO IT'S VERY MUCH AN
ADMINISTRATIVE POSITION AS
OPPOSED TO SOMEONE THAT'S GOING
OUT -- TO GO FIND PEOPLE WHO
HAVE INTEREST IN THE PROGRAM
BECAUSE AS YOU MENTIONED THE
PROGRAMS ARE.
ARE WAY OVER SUBSCRIBED YEAH.
AND THEN ON THE SECOND -- YOU
TALK ABOUT CERTIFICATES THAT THE
STUDENTSWOULD EARN COULD YOU
JUST QUICKLY.
DESCRIBE HOW HOW THAT SERVES TO
GET.
INTO A REAL CAREER OR A JOB
PLACEMENT FOR WORKING IN
PARTNERSHIP RIGHT NOW WITH -- TO
COMMUNITY COLLEGES -- CYPRESS
COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND THEN LONG
BEACH CITY COLLEGE IN ORDER TO
DO -- CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS FOR
TRADES WILL ALSO WORK WITH --
TRADE UNIONS IN THE AREA TO TO
DETERMINE WHAT THE DEMAND IS FOR
EMPLOYMENT IN.
IN -- SEVERAL JOB FIELDS AND
THEN MANY OF THOSE JOB FEELS
REQUIRE WAR IT ENHANCES THE THE
MARKETABILITY OF THE CANDIDATE
IF THEY COME OUT OF THE PROGRAM
WITH A CERTIFICATE IN WHATEVER
CAREER FIELD THE GOING INTO.
OKAY [inaudible]
YES.
BUT I'M SURE WE FINISHED YES --
THE QUESTION WITH RESPECT TO
CYPRUS IN LONG BEACH CITY
COLLEGE -- ARE.
ARE ANY PARTS THE PROGRAM GOING
TO BE OPERATED AT THE LOCATION
OR IS IT.
INDIVIDUALS ARE GOING TO COME
BELOW SELL NEEDLES CENTER FOR
FOR FORGET ALL MAKE SURE WE GET
WITH YOUR STAFF AND TO IMITATE
EXTEND AN INVITATION FOR YOU AND
I CAN VISIT THE OTHER SCHOOLS
BUT THE STUDENTS WILL LIVE AND
DO THEIR PHYSICAL TRAINING
REQUIREMENTS AND THINGS LIKE
THAT LOS.
ALAMITOS WILL TRANSPORT THEM TO
THE SCHOOL CAMPUSES WHERE
THEY'LL ACTUALLY DO THE THE
CLASSROOM WORK WHICH HELPS US TO
BECAUSE THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO
SET ASIDE ADDITIONAL CLASSROOM
SPACE.
AT OUR BASE SO THAT'S PART OF
THE AGREEMENT THAT WE'VE DONE IN
THE SCHOOLS.
AND IF I COULD -- JUST ADDRESS
BRIEFLY THE LA OWES I THINK THE
ONLY A SUGGESTION OF DOING A
LONGITUDINAL STUDY. TO TRACK THE
EFFICACY THE PROGRAM IS GOOD WE
WOULD WELCOME THAT.
ON WHAT WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT
INITIALLY AND WE CAN HAVE FOR
THE TALKS ON A BOAT -- WERE OPEN
TO TRACKING MAYBE FOR THE FIRST
YEAR HOW MANY THE PEOPLE TO
COMPLETE THE PROGRAM ACTUALLY
GET HIRED IN THE TRADES FOR
WHICH THEY TRAINED.
AND THEN A LONGITUDINAL STUDY
THAT GOES PERHAPS TEN YEARS OUT --
THAT TRACKS DID THEY STAY IN
THEIR CAREER FIELD TO THE GO
MOVE INTO A BETTER CAREER FIELD
OR SO SOME OF THE PROBLEM.
THE OTHER IDEA THAT THE LA --
HAD THAT I REALLY LIKE ALSO IS
TO ALSO.
YOU ATTRACT THE STUDENTS TO
GRADUATE FROM OUR REGULAR
CHALLENGE PROGRAMS BUT DON'T
GOING TO THE JOB CHALLENGE
PROGRAM.
AND SEE IF THE KIDS TO GO
THROUGH THE JOB CHALLENGE
PROGRAM HAVE GREATER SUCCESS IN
THEIR FIRST EN YEARS OF THE
CAREER THEN.
THE STUDENTS THAT MERELY GO
THROUGH THE HIGH SCHOOL
EQUIVALENCY PROGRAM.
ON BECAUSE IN THAT CASE IS A
GOOD CONTROL TO SEE -- HOW WELL
THIS NEW PROGRAM IS WORKING?
I CAN -- CAM MOVE.
PLEASE COME DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE SO I THINK I WOULD HAVE
THE OUT THERE IS THAT -- WHILE
THE LONGER TERM THE IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT ACTUALLY REQUIRES
PROBABLY A BIT OF RESOURCES AND
SORT OF BEING STAFFED UP TO BE A
FIFTEEN THAT INFORMATION SO I
THINK IN THE NEAR TERM.
WEWOULD PRIORITIZE FOCUSING ON
WHAT JOBS FOLKS GET INTO.
IN TERMS OF THE TRACKING IN
TERMS OF THE TRACKING YEAH I
THINK LONG TERM WE CAN HAVE A
DISCUSSION ABOUT YOU KNOW WHERE
PEOPLE GO AND WHAT FEELS THEY
EXPAND INTO BUT IN THE NEAR TERM
WE'RE NOT REALLY RESOURCE TO DO
THAT.
OR SET UP TO DO THAT.
OKAY WHAT I WANT LONG DISCUSSION
BUT I I THINK THAT'S CRITICAL IN
TERMS OF ACCOUNTABILITY IS
ENSURING THAT WHATEVER WE'RE
DOING.
ACTUALLY HAS SOME BENEFIT OVER
THE LONG TERM SO I WOULD BE
INTERESTED SOME POINT AND
UNDERSTANDING.
WHAT ADDITIONAL RESOURCES WOULD
BE REQUIRED TO BE ABLE TO ADD
THAT KIND OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND
TRANSPARENCY?
SO I I GET NOT FOR TODAY BUT NO
YEAH I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE'RE CLEAR THAT WE COULD
MAYBE WE WOULD MAKE MY NEED TO
COME BACK IN THE FUTURE.
SOMETHING OF THAT MAGNITUDE THAT
WOULD BE GOOD TO DO THE EXIT
YOUR EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY SO.
OF SALT ALFA MOVE THE OF ITEM
SEVENTY TWO ISSUE NUMBER.
SEVENTY TWO OF MOVES -- COULD
PROVE IT [inaudible]
OKAY.
BY.
LOCAL ENERGY DORADO HI SENATOR
NIELSEN.
SENATOR UMBERG.
OKAY THE WORLD IN OPEN SEVENTY
THREE WE'RE GONNA HOLD OPEN HOLD
ON FOR FAMILY PLANNING THANK YOU
THANK YOU RENDON'S AS A THANK
YOU FOR SELF -- WE'RE GONNA.
WE'RE GONNA JUMP TO ITEM SEVENTY
FIVE WHICH IS A SIMILAR
DEVELOPMENT CENTER.
ON ITEM -- SEVENTY FIVE IF THE
IF YOU COULD.
SPEAK TO THIS UP I I'M INCLINED
TO ACT ACTUALLY MOVED.
TO APPROVE THIS MATTER -- SO
WITH WITH BUDGET REPORTING
LANGUAGE ON THE STATUS OF THE
PROPER THE COUNTY MEETING GOALS
AND THE PROGRESS TO THE
COMMISSION THE SITE THAT'S WHAT
I'M INCLINED TO DO.
SO YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME WHY I'M
WRONG HEADED [inaudible]
THE UNITED.
NO NO -- THANK YOU -- JASON KIDD
HIM APARTMENT JOURNAL SERVICES I
OVERSEE OUR REAL ESTATE DIVISION --
YES OF THE PROPOSAL IS OF
SOMEONE STRAIGHTFORWARD IT'S
SEEKING FUNDING TO MAINTAINING
NINE HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE ACRE
CAMPUS IN CINEMA FOR THREE YEARS --
AND THEN SUCCESSFULLY
DISPOSITION THE PROPERTY IN A
WAY THAT BENEFITS BOTH THE STATE
pAND SUPPORT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY --
THIS IS THE OLDEST OF THE DON'T
KNOW CENTERS IT WAS --
ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED IN
EIGHTEEN NINETY ONE IN SERIES OF
WAVES -- AND THE FACILITIES BE
ON ITS USEFUL LIFE ULTIMATELY --
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN HERE IS THE
FUNDING WOULD ALLOW DDS TO
CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN THE CAMPUS
AND -- SHUT DOWN -- HE REDUCTION
OF FROM THEIR THEIR CURRENT
LEVELS OF OPERATION THE LAST
PATIENT THE TO LEAVE THE SITE IN
DECEMBER -- TWENTY EIGHTEEN
HOWEVER THE FUNDING THE PROPOSAL
ALSO INCLUDES FUNDING FOR THE
CAUCUSES THAT THE COUNTY OF
CINEMA TO REZONE THE PROPERTY --
THAT IS SOMEWHAT UNUSUAL -- FOR
PROPOSAL LIKE THIS HOWEVER --
THE WAY THAT PROP THE PROPERTY
IS CURRENTLY ZONED REDUCE THE
VALUE CONSIDERABLY -- THE
FUNDING IS TO HELP THE COUNTY
EXPEDITE THE PROCESS -- IN TERMS
OF THE COST OF A THREE POINT
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS THE DIFF
THE AMOUNT OF MAINTENANCE MONEY
TO SAVE HOWEVER OVER THE
DURATION IS ABOUT FORTY EIGHT
MILLION DOLLARS SO IT'S A GREAT
RETURN ON INVESTMENT TO TO FUND
THIS -- ULTIMATELY THIS IS --
THE RESULT OF NEGOTIATIONS WITH
THE STATE THE COMMUNITY
INCLUDING LOCAL ELECTED
OFFICIALS THE NUMBER OF THE
LEGISLATURE.
ON INCLUDING CENTER DOTS AND
REQUIRE AN ASSEMBLYMEMBER
AGUIAR-CURRY -- AND FINALLY THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND CINEMA
HAVE ALSO -- RESOUNDINGLY
SUPPORT THE PROPOSAL -- THEY
PASSED A RESOLUTION APRIL FIFTH --
SHOWING THEIR SUPPORT AND
AUTHORIZING STAFF TO BEGIN WORK
ON THE PLANNING PROCESS AND HER
HERE [inaudible]
OKAY.
AND WE HAVE A MOTION LA YOU.
BUT A HUNG CHRISTINE SO WE HAVE
A FEW COMMENTS -- UNDERSTAND
THAT THIS HAS BEEN THE THE
RESULT OF QUITE AN EXTENSIVE
PROCESS -- BUT THERE ARE SOME
TWEAKS THAT WE WOULD SUGGEST
THAT WE THINK WOULD HELP IMPROVE
SOME LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT OVER
THIS PROCESS I'M GIVEN THE
AMOUNT OF FUNDING THAT'S
INVOLVED IN REALLY -- THAT THE
FACT IT IS A VERY LARGE PROPERTY
I'M SO THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT WE HAVE INCLUDE FIRST --
LIMITING FUNDING TO NINETEEN
TWENTY SO ON THIS PROPOSAL WOULD
PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THREE YEARS
TO THIS WE WOULD RECOMMEND JUST
FINDING THE NINETEEN TWENTY
ABOUT HAVING TO COME BACK NEXT
YEAR.
A COUPLE REASONS FOR THIS ONE WE
THINK THAT THERE'S SOME
UNCERTAINTY ABOUT WHAT THAN THAT
OUT YOUR COSTS ARE GONNA BE THAT
WOULD GIVE THE UP THE
LEGISLATURE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
REEVALUATE THOSE COSTS IN
SUBSEQUENT YEARS.
AND WE ALSO THINK I'M JUST
HAVING THEM REPORT BACK AT THAT
TIME ABOUT THE STATUS OF THAT
PROJECT AND AND THE DISPOSITION
WOULD BE HELPFUL SO WE CAN
THAT'S A NICE CHECK AND SECONDS --
WE'RE RECOMMENDING HAVING THAT
THE FUNDING FOR CINEMA COUNTY BE
DONE ON A REIMBURSEMENT BASIS IN
PART BECAUSE THE DEAD STATE
DOESN'T USUALLY -- FUND THIS
TYPE OF ACTIVITY AND SO -- IT'S
IT'S DIFFICULT TO VERIFY WITH
CERTAINTY WHETHER THIS IS
EXACTLY RIGHT FUNDING AMOUNTS WE
THINK OF REIMBURSEMENT BASIS
WOULD BE APPROPRIATE -- THIRD
WERE SUGGESTING -- AN AMENDMENT
TO THE TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE --
THAT COULD FURTHER SPECIFY THE
LEGISLATURE'S GOALS FOR THE
PROPERTY SO CURRENTLY SO --
ALONG WITH THE BUDGET PROPOSAL
THERE'S TRAILER BILL AND THAT'S
PROPOSED WHICH WOULD BASICALLY
EXEMPT THIS PROPERTY FROM THE
TRADITIONAL SURPLUS PROPERTY
PROCESS WHICH WHICH HAS SORT OF
A LOADING ORDER FOR THINGS YOU
KNOW WAYS AT FIRST THAT PROPERTY
IS MADE AVAILABLE.
TO YOU KNOW WHEN USE THAN THE
NEXT AND THE NEXT ON THE TO
CREATE AN ALTERNATIVE PROCESS
I'M CERTAINLY THERE'S A
RATIONALE FOR USING AN ALTERNATE
PROCESS IN THIS IN THIS CASE --
BUT THE LANGUAGE IS PRETTY BROAD
AND IT GIVES QUITE A BIT OF
AUTHORITY TO THE DEPARTMENT
DIRECTOR -- AND TO THE EXTENT
THAT THE LEGISLATURE HAD MORE
SPECIFIC GOALS FOR THE PROPERTY
FOR EXAMPLE RELATED TO
AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR THE THIS --
DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED
COMMUNITY IT COULD FURTHER
SPECIFY THOSE -- JUST TO GIVE A
LITTLE BIT MORE -- DIRECTION IF
IT'S INTERESTED IN DOING.
AND THEN -- WE'RE ALSO
RECOMMENDING I MIGHT FIND A
TRAILER BILL.
LOOK LANGUAGE TO PROVIDE SOME
ADDITIONAL OVERSIGHT -- ONE
POSSIBILITY FOR EXAMPLE IS TO
REQUIRE THE DEPARTMENT I HAD TO
DO A DEAL BE SEATED LEGISLATIVE
BUDGET COMMITTEE NOTIFICATION
PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO A LONG
TERM LEASE OR THE SALE.
ON THAT WOULD GIVE THE
LEGISLATURE JUST A CHECK AND SO
I COULD SEE COULD.
EVALUATE WHETHER.
IT'S COMFORTABLE WITH THE
PROPOSED APPROACH FOR THE SOUTH.
AND THEN THE FINAL COMMENT WE
HAD IS FOR THE LEGISLATURE TO
CONSIDER WHETHER IT'S
COMFORTABLE WITH SETTING
POTENTIALLY SETTING A PRECEDENT
ON FOR THIS PROCESS FOR THIS
PROPERTY SO THIS IS A LITTLE BIT
UNUSUAL.
PROCESS -- IT'S ALSO AN UNUSUAL
SET AMOUNT OF MONEY AND AND SOME
OF THE THINGS ARE FINDING OUR
LAW AND USUAL -- AND SO --
CERTAINLY THERE ARE SOME UNIQUE
ASPECTS OF THIS PROPERTY IT'S
VERY LARGE IT HAS SOME VERY OLD.
BUILDINGS THAT HAS SOME HIS --
SOME WILDLIFE ISSUES AND AND
ALSO THE COMMUNITY THAT WAS
AFFECTED BY THE WILDFIRES.
CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT -- AND
ALL THESE DIFFERENT FACTORS BUT
CERTAINLY OTHER COMMUNITIES
COULD ALSO -- COULD ALSO ARGUE
THAT THEIR UNIQUE THINGS AND SO
REALLY TO THEIR COMMUNITY SO WE
JUST WANTED TO FIND OUT FOR HE
LEGISLATURE'S WHILE.
ON BECAUSE BECAUSE THIS COULD BE
SOMETHING OTHER COMMUNITIES ASK.
FOR DID YOU WANT.
TO RESPOND TO YOU GUYS ARE GOOD
[inaudible]
BECAUSE I MEAN I YEAH I THINK I
CAN JUST ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE
SOME IS ALTERNATELY -- I THINK
THE REPORTING LANGUAGE AS
MENTIONED -- IS IS A HELP IN
MAKING SURE THAT THERE IS
REGULAR REPORTING ACCOUNTABILITY
ON THE SPENDING OF FUNDS -- I
THINK ALSO -- TO IS RELATED TO
ME.
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE BETTER
THANK YOU -- THE IN TERMS OF
THIS THE THE PARITY WITH THE
STATE'S EXISTING SURPLUS
PROPERTY PROCESS -- YES THERE'S
A THERE'S SOMETHING A LOADING
ORDER EXISTING GOVERNMENT CODE
HOWEVER THE SAME -- OBJECTIVES
ARE LISTED IN THE TRAILER BILL --
MUST HAVE THIS PROPERTY IS GONNA
BE LARGELY SUBJECT TO THE ZONING
PROCESS AND SO THE STATE WILL BE
AGGRESSIVELY PURSUING HOUSING A
COMMERCIAL VIABILITY IN USE --
AND SO THOSE THINGS WILL STILL
BE ADDRESSED THROUGHOUT THE
PROCESS THERE'S ALSO A
PREFERENCE FOR A HOUSING FOR
THOSE.
DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED AS WELL --
THERE WILL ALSO -- IN WHEN THE
STATE TRADITIONALLY DISPOSE OF
PROPERTY THE EXISTING AUTHORITY
GIVEN TO THE DIRECTOR IS
ACTUALLY ALSO QUITE BROAD -- TO
SOMETHING PROPOSED BY THE LA
WOULD BE -- DEVIATIONS IN THE
NORMAL WAY WHICH THE PROPERTIES --
DISPOSED OF THANK YOU.
OKAY.
I WOULD WITH ANY THAT IS A QUICK
QUESTION ABOUT THE THE ONE YEAR
VERSUS THREE YEAR.
ISSUE SO PARTLY.
IT'S BECAUSE OF OF CITING KNOWN
SO THE WAY THE COSTS WERE
GENERATED WERE OF BECAUSE GOOD
WITH THE ONE YEAR -- IT IT WOULD
BE -- OUR PREFERENCE AGO FOR THE
THE THREE YEARS ULTIMATELY -- IT
ALLOWS FOR GREATER FLEXIBILITY --
IN DISPOSITION THE CAMPUS --
MAINTAINING THE CAMPUS AS WELL
IT ALSO SUCH A CLEAR MESSAGE TO
THE COUNTY AND LOCALES AT ONE
FIVE FOUR THREE OKAY PUBLIC
COMMENT.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR SENATOR
JORDAN LINDSAY WITH THE ARK OF
CALIFORNIA NOTICEABLE PULLS THE
CALIFORNIA COLLABORATIVE I'M
ALSO THE CHAIR OF THE LAMBING
COALITION WHICH IS A BROAD
COALITION MORE THAN TWENTY
STATEWIDE ORGANIZATIONS.
REPRESENTING ADVOCATING FOR THE
THREE HUNDRED THIRTY THOUSAND
INDIVIDUALS DRUG CALIFORNIA.
THAT ARE SERVED AND SUPPORTED AS
ENTITLED UNDER THE LANHAM ACT --
IN THE CINEMA DEVELOPMENTAL
CENTER AS WE'VE HEARD MORE THAN
ONE HUNDRED YEARS HAS BEEN PART
OF THE DDS SYSTEM.
AND WE AT THE ARE CALIFORNIA
ADVOCATE FOR THE CLOSURE OF
INSTITUTIONS ABOUT LITTLE
CENTERS **** THE CALIFORNIA
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
AND WE'RE HAPPY THAT THAT
PROCESS IS HAPPY NOT JUST -- FOR
SNOW MOTHERS TO MORE -- ONE IN
COSTA MESA ONE PORTERFIELD AND
THOSE ARE ALSO SLATED TO BE
CLOSED IN THE NEXT COUPLE YEARS.
FOR YEARS HOWEVER OUR COMMUNITY
HAS ADVOCATED THAT WHEN THESE
ASSETS OR WHEN WE CLOSE THESE
INSTITUTIONS IN WHICH WE HAVE
DONE FOR SEVERAL OTHERS IN
CALIFORNIA'S HISTORY.
THAT THAT ACID SHOULD CONTINUE
TO SERVE PEOPLE WITH
INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES I
DON'T MEAN THAT WE SHOULD
CONTINUE TO HAVE SERVICES ON THE
SITE ITSELF THERE'S A LOT OF
ISSUES IN HISTORY AND DRAMA.
AND ALSO IN TRAUMA ASSOCIATED
WITH THAT -- ALL WE ARE SAYING
IS THAT REVENUE ASSOCIATED WITH
THOSE ASSETS SHOULD BE USED TO
BENEFIT CALIFORNIANS WITH
INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPED TO
DISABILITIES OTHER STATES HAVE
DONE EXACTLY THIS.
WE HAS ALSO DONE SOMETHING IN A
IN COSTA MESA WITH PART OF THAT
PROPERTY -- SIMILAR TO AND WHAT
THE CONVERSATIONS THIS COMMITTEE
IS HAD PREVIOUSLY NOW AT TODAY
IS ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
AND ALL CALIFORNIANS ARE
STRUGGLING TO FIND AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IT'S SO MUCH MORE FOR
CALIFORNIANS WITH INTELLECTUAL
DISABILITIES WHO -- FACE THE
HIGHEST AMOUNT OF WHEN IT COMES
TO HUG VOUCHERS.
DIFFICULTY AND DISCRIMINATION OF
ANY COMMUNITY PEOPLE
DISABILITIES.
SO AS A RESULT THE LAN
RECOLLECTION HAS PROPOSED THAT
REVENUE ASSOCIATE WITH THE
CLOSURE OF THESE ASSETS AND
REMINISCES WITH THE DISPOSITION
WHETHER IT'S A SALE OR LEASE.
SHOULD BE USED TO FUND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS FOR
CALIFORNIANS WITH INTELLECTUAL
AND DEVELOP THE DISABILITIES.
IT'S BEEN A PART BUDGET PROPOSAL
LAST YEAR A BILL LAST YEAR AND
ALSO A BILL THIS YEAR TO DO
EXACTLY THAT -- WE HAVE BEEN
AVERAGING THAT FOR THE FOR YEARS
AND WE ARE DISAPPOINTED THAT
THAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS
PROPOSAL.
IF THE GS WHICH IS TO SPEND
MONEY ON A WARM SHUT DOWN AND
ALSO GIVE MONEY TO THE COUNTY --
TO DEVELOP A PLAN SO BE IT
THAT'S THE THAT'S THE STATE'S
CHOICE TO DO SO HOWEVER WHEN THE
PROPERTY HAS DISPOSITION WE ARE
CONCERNED THAT IN THE ANALYSIS
SAYS THAT THAT'LL BE USED TO
RECOUP COSTS ASSOCIATED.
WITH THE WARM SHUT DOWN WE
BELIEVE THAT ANYTHING REVENUE
ASSOCIATE WITH THE DISPOSSESSED
DISPOSITION OF THIS PROPERTY
SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE USED TO
BENEFIT CALIFORNIANS.
WITH INTELLECTUAL AND
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES THE
PROPOSALS TO BE USE THAT REVENUE
PUT INTO A SPECIAL FUND THAT CAN
BE USED SIMILAR TO OTHER HOUSING
FUNDS.
AND THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPER COMMUNITY IS READY TO
GO ON THIS THE A WANT THIS FUND
THEY WANT MONEY BE PUT INTO IT
WHATEVER MECHANISM IS AVAILABLE
AND THIS IS A REVENUE STREAM TO
BE PUT INTO THAT FUND. TO ALLOW
THROUGHOUT THE STATE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT TO HAPPEN
FOR PEOPLE WITH INTELLECTUAL
DEVELOPS IS PLEASE THANK YOU
THANK YOU.
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF MY NAME
IS CARL LUNDEN I'M HERE TODAY
REPRESENTING.
THE ALLIANCE SUPPORTING PEOPLE
WITH INTELLECTUAL DEVOLVE
DISABILITIES.
LARSON ONE ECHO THE CONCERNS
pRAISED BY JORDAN LINDSEY.
OF THE ARE CAN YOU SEE P.
COLLABORATIVE I WANT TO MAKE A
JUST A COUPLE OF THE STATEMENTS.
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE HAS
LOOKED AT THESE CLOSURES OF
FINAL CLOSURES OF THESE
PROPERTIES.
AN ESTIMATED THAT THERE'S A
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN
SAVINGS.
THAT'S GOING TO COME BACK TO THE
GENERAL FUND AS A RESULT OF
THESE CLOSURES WHY BECAUSE THE
PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE TODAY OR
THAT LIVE THERE RECENTLY ARE NO
LONGER GOING TO BE THERE AND NO
LONGER SERVED.
IN A STATE DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER
THAT MONEY GO SOMEWHERE.
THE COMMUNITY MEANWHILE THE FLIP
SIDE IN THIS IS A BUDGET SUB
THREE ITEMS APPRECIATE THE
DIFFICULTY IN EXPRESSING THIS TO
YOU.
BUT THE COMMUNITY IS BEING
STIFFED AGAIN LARGELY IN THE
STATE BUDGET.
AND WE'VE HAD A HISTORY IN THE
STATE NOW OF ONLY TWO RATE
INCREASES FOR THE PROGRAMS OF
SUPPORT PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY
IN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS.
SO WHAT WE HAVE SEEN AS JORDAN
CORRECTLY NOTES AS A HISTORY IN
THE STATE.
OF CLOSURE OF THESE TREMENDOUS
ASSETS.
AND THE PROPERTIES BEING GIVEN
AWAY AND THE OPERATING DOLLARS
LEAVING THE SYSTEM AND NOT
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT PEOPLE WITH
DEVELOPMENTAL INTELLECTUAL
DISABILITIES.
WE THINK IT'S A VERY SOON SEVERE
PROBLEM WE HAVE ONE LAST CHANCE.
TO GET THIS RIGHT THESE OF THE
FINAL THREE PROPERTIES.
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THAT
WILL HAVE A DISPOSITION IN THIS
AREA.
AND WE WOULD LIKE TO URGE A PLAN
THAT INVOLVES COMMUNITY AND
DOESN'T RIGHT THIS TIME THERE'S
NO REASON.
THESE ASSETS SHOULD BE STRIPPED
FROM THE COMMUNITY THE OPERATING
DOLLARS TAKEN AWAY WITH NO
BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY WE
WOULD URGE YOU.
TO KEEP THIS OPEN TO HAVE A
FULLER DISCUSSION INVOLVING SUB.
THREE AND OTHER LEADERSHIP AND
AND LOOK TO YOUR LEADERSHIP ON
THIS THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
AIRING CARUTHERS.
RECORD THE STATE COUNCIL ON
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES.
IN EIGHTEEN NINETY THE BEST
THING TO DO FOR PEOPLE WITH
INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPING
DISABILITIES WAS TO TAKE AWAY
AND PUT HIM INTO A PLACE LIKE A
DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER AN
INSTITUTION WHERE.
THAT'S WHERE THEY WOULD STAY IN%
AND LORD IN CARE WAS PROVIDED TO
THEM -- BY THE STATE.
WE KNOW BETTER NOW AND WE
APPRECIATE APPLAUD THE
LEGISLATURE IN THE SENATE'S
DIRECTION IN CLOSING DOWN THESE.
VESTIGES OF WHAT ONCE WAS THE
BEST WAY TO DO IT THE BEST WAY
TO DO IT NOW TAKE CARE PEOPLE IS
IN THE COMMUNITY -- WE KNOW THAT
WE'RE MOVING PEOPLE TOWARD THE
COMMUNITY THE CHALLENGES THAT
WHEN PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY
THEY'RE ACTUALLY NOT LIVING ON
THEIR OWN.
A 70% OF REGIONAL CENTER CLIENTS
ARE LIVING WITH THEIR FAMILIES --
THAT FAMILIES ARE QUICKLY AGING
OF THIS.
ISSUE BRINGS UP AN OPPORTUNITY
TO TALK ABOUT WHERE PEOPLE LIVE
IN THE COMMUNITY AND STATE
COUNCIL ASK YOU TO PLEASE
CONSIDER THAT AS YOU CONSIDER
THE DISPOSITION OF THIS PROPERTY
THANK YOU.
TURNING NOT IN TURN MEMBERS
KAREN LAYING ON BEHALF OF THE
CINEMA COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS HAS BEEN AT THE
TABLE -- WITH THEIR IT
LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION DDS DDS
FOR FOUR YEARS ON THIS TOPIC.
THE HOME WAS CLOSED OUT BECAUSE
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MADE A
DECISION THAT THEY WERE GOING TO
FIND CONGREGATE LIVING.
ANYMORE AND THE STATE IS CLOSING
THE CENTERS AS ARESULT OF A
FEDERAL DECISION FROM FOUR YEARS
AGO.
SO THAT IS THE REASON HOMELESS
CLOSING THE COUNTY HAS WORKED
TOGETHER WITH THE COALITION
ACTUALLY REPRESENTED THE PARENT
HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION WHICH IN
TURN IS AN ADVOCACY GROUP FOR
THE RESIDENTS OF THE
DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER AND THEY'VE
ALL BEEN AT THE TABLE TOGETHER
FOR FOUR YEARS.
FIRST THE FOCUS IS ONE WAS ON
THE RESIDENTS.
THEN I WAS ON THE EMPLOYEES
BECAUSE IS THE LARGEST EMPLOYER
IN THE CINEMA VALLEY AND NOW
WE'RE ON THE DISPOSITION OF THE
PROPERTY THE STATUS SPENT TENS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
DEVELOPING HOMES FOR THE
RESIDENTS USED TO LIVE THERE.
THAT ARE NOW OUT IN THE
COMMUNITY AND THE COUNTY HAS
BEEN SUPPORTIVE EVERY STEP OF
THE WAY WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY.
IS THE DISPOSITION OF THE
PROPERTY I CAN ASSURE YOU THIS
IS A TWO LANE ROAD.
AND ON A THOUSAND ACRES SO IT'S
NOT LIKE THE COSTA MESA PROPERTY
WHICH IS INSIDE OF THE CITY
LIMIT AND HAS EXISTING ZONING.
THIS IS A HUGE PIECE OF PROPERTY
THAT BACKS UP TO THE WILD IN
URBAN INTERFACE TWENTY SOMETHING
BUILDINGS I BELIEVE BURN IN.
TWENTY EIGHTEEN SO IN THE BACK
OF THE PROPERTY PROBABLY
RIGHTFULLY NEEDS TO REMAIN OPEN
SPACE THERE'S A CORE.
I CENTER OF THE CAMPUS IS IT'S
REFERRED TO THAT -- THIS THE
CITY IS WITH THE COUNTY IS GOING
TO WORK WITH I DID YES ON THE
DEVELOP THE APPROPRIATE ZONING
SO THAT WHEN DID ES TURNS
AROUND TO SELL IT TO PRIVATE.
INTERESTS THEY CAN EXTRACT THE
HIGHEST PRICE POSSIBLE WHAT TO
DO WITH THAT MONEY IS WHAT THE
STATE IS GOING TO DO WITH THAT
MONEY BUT THIS WILL GET YOU TO
SOME SORT OF DISPENSATION WITH
THE JAZZ.
THAT THE COUNTY CAN LIVE WITH
AND THEY KNOW THEY HAVE TO PUT
HOUSING ARE AND I KNOW I HEARD
THE HOMELESS AND HOUSING
DISCUSSION FIRST. FOR THE COUNTY
IS AWARE OF THAT THE THREE YEARS
IS PROBABLY WHAT IT'S GOING TO
TAKE TO MAKE SURE THERE'S ROBUST
LOCAL INPUT AND I CAN PROMISE
YOU.
THERE HAVE BEEN MEETINGS UPON
MEETINGS UPON MEETINGS THAT
SENATOR DODD SENATOR REQUIRE.
THE I. WORKER OF ALL THE TIME
AND THIS IS AN ACTIVE ENGAGED SO
I'M GONNA MAKE.
YOU PROBABLY GONNA LIKE UNLESS
IF WE GOT OUT.
YEAH SO -- AND I'VE SPENT TIME
TALKING TO SENATOR DODD SAID I'M
REQUIRE ABOUT THIS MYSELF SO --
AND I HEAR THE CONCERNS.
THE BUT I'M GONNA MOVE THOUGH TO
PROVE IT IS REQUESTED WITH
BUDGET BILL REPORTING LANGUAGE

AND THE PROGRESS DISK THE

INJURY BENEFIT TRUST FUND.

OF THIS TODAY BUT WILL BE
HOLDING OPEN [inaudible]
THE ISSUE.
THE MANAGER MY NAME IS GREG
EDWARDS I'M.
THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF
THE DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL
RELATIONS.
THE V. SEVEN WITHIN -- THREE
BENEFIT TRUST FUND IS A FUND.
THAT SUPPORTS BENEFIT PAYMENTS
TO WORKERS WHO HAVE -- AN
INITIAL INDUSTRIAL INJURY AND
THEN THE ONE OR MORE SUBSEQUENT
INJURIES RESULTING IN AT LEAST.
70% OF DISABILITY -- TO TO THE
PERSON -- THIS PROPOSAL WAS HERE
BEFORE YOU TODAY -- BECAUSE WE
HAVE SEEN A TREMENDOUS SPIKE
BOTH IN THE NUMBER OF CASES AND
THE COST IMPACT. TO THIS FUND.
IT EXTENDS BEYOND OF ABILITY OF
OF CURRENT STAFF TO ADMINISTER --
THE PROPOSAL BEFORE YOU --
REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL STAFF --
WHICH WILL TAPER DOWN OVER THE
NEXT FOUR YEARS MAINLY TO HANDLE
THE CASELOAD MAINLY TO DO WITH
THE STATE'S DUE DILIGENCE -- TO
INSURE THAT THE BENEFITS PAID
OUT BENEFITS THAT -- OR CHARGE
TO EVERY EMPLOYER IN CALIFORNIA --
EVERY SCHOOL EVERY MUNICIPALITY
EVERY LAW ABIDING EMPLOYER --
PEAS OF THESE BENEFITS AND SO --
IT IS IN THE INTEREST OF THE
STATE THAT WE INSURE THAT -- WE
FEEL OUR FIDUCIARY
RESPONSIBILITY AND THEN THESE
RESOURCES ARE REQUESTED A TO AN
ABLE US TO DO THAT.
CLARIFY HERE WHAT WOULD IT IS
THE REQUEST.
IS YOUR HOME IN A POSITION.
THE REQUESTED INITIALLY. FOR
THIRTY POSITIONS IN FOUR POINT
EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS IN THE
NINETEEN TWENTY OF FISCAL YEAR
THAT WILL TAPER DOWN -- TO ABOUT --
CARILLO. FOURTEEN FOURTEEN HERE
FOURTEEN POSITIONS TOTAL. SIX OF
THOSE WILL BE CASE WORKERS FOUR
OF THOSE WILL BE ATTORNEYS OF
THE REMAINING FOUR OR A LEGAL
SECRETARIES AND CLERICAL STAFF
TO HELP WITH THE PROCESS THE
PAPERWORK.
OKAY SO THIRTY POSITIONS.
WHICH WOULD THEN TAPERED OF
FOURTEEN IS THE BACK LOAD.
CORRECT.
BACKLOG I'M SORRY.
CURRENTLY THE CASELOAD PER CASE
WORKER IS A ROUGHLY A THOUSAND
PER -- THESE RACE RESOURCES
WOULD BRING THAT CASE SLOWED
DOWN INTO THE THREE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY RANGE.
BASED ON THE CASELOAD WE HAVE
TODAY WHICH IS NOT STATIC WE ARE
SEEING MORE CASES COME IN EVERY
MONTH SO WITH THE WHOLE THE
ASPIRATION IN THE PROPOSAL IS.
IS THAT WE WILL SEE A TAPERING
DOWN OF THAT -- SHOULD THAT NOT
TAKE PLACE WE WILL HAVE TO
REVISIT OKAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FOR FINANCE.
HI MARSHA MINUTES APARTMENT A
FINANCE ON JUST TO HIGHLIGHT A
FEW THINGS THAT MISTER EDWARDS
AND HAD PRESENTED THE PURPOSE OF
THIS PROPOSAL IS TO RIGHT SIZE
THE UNIT I'M BASED ON THEIR
EXISTING WORKLOAD HAS YET
POINTED OUT THEY HAVE ABOUT TEN
THOUSAND OPEN CASES WITH NINE
STAFF MANAGING.
A THOUSAND CASES WHICH IS --
IT'S DIFFICULT RIGHT I MEAN.
AND SO -- YOU KNOW WE I THE THE
STAFF COMMENTS NOTED THAT IT IS
IT'S A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE BUT
WE THINK OF IT AS A WE SEE IT AS
ASTRATEGIC INVESTMENT AT LEAST
IN THE AND IN THE FRONT END.
TO ADDRESS THE THE BACKLOG OF
CASES -- AND INSURE THAT WERE
THOROUGHLY VETTING OUT THE
APPLICATIONS AND THEN WERE OF
COURSE ASSUMING THAT -- THE
WORKLOAD WOULD DECREASE IN -- IN
THE OUT YEARS AND THERE'S A
CORRESPONDING REDUCTION AND AND
IN IN SERVICES -- BASED ON THAT
SO [inaudible]
STERLING.
GOOD AFTERNOON TEHAMA THE
ANALYST'S OFFICE WE HAVE NO
SPECIFIC COMMENTS ON THE
PROPOSAL HAS -- PRESENTED I
THINK THE ONE THING WE WOULD
POINT OUT THAT IS INCLUDED IN
THE AGENDA IS THAT EARLIER ON
THERE WAS A ASSOCIATED TRAILER
BILL WITH THIS PROPOSAL.
THAT WOULD HAVE MADE CHANGES TO
THE PROGRAM ITSELF ON THE SORT
OF THE THE THE OTHER SIDE --
THAT WAS DESIGNED OR AT LEAST AS
I UNDERSTAND IT -- TO ADDRESS
SOME OF THE WORKLOAD -- THIS
PROPOSAL NOW WOULD WOULD --
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL STAFF TO WORK
ON THAT WORK WELL BUT I THINK
THAT THE BIG OPEN QUESTION IS IF
THE TRAJECTORY.
OF THESE CASES CONTINUES TO
INCREASE -- IT WE COULD BE HERE
AGAIN IN THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS
RECONSIDERING THAT THAT WORKLOAD.
OKAY PUBLIC COMMENT.
OKAY HEARING NONE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH APPRECIATE IT WILL EVEN
THIS OPEN.
OKAY WE'RE GOING.
TO SEVENTY NINE OKAY ITEM
SEVENTY NINE REGARDING SEXUAL
HARASSMENT TRAINING FOR THE
JANITORIAL INDUSTRY.
THANK YOU MA'AM SURE THIS A
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE WILL
HARMONIZE TWO SEPARATE BILLS A
PAST -- IN RECENT YEARS -- AT A.
B. NINETEEN SEVENTY EIGHT WHICH
WAS PASSED IN TWENTY SIXTEEN AND
SENATE BILL THIRTEEN FORTY THREE
WHICH WAS PASSED.
IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN OF THEM
UNFORTUNATELY.
THESE THESE BILLS CREATED TWO
SEPARATE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
TO THE SAME COMMUNITY COMMUNITY
VIS CHANGES WILL HELP OUR
HARMONIZE THAT AND THEN FOR FEEL --
WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THE ORIGINAL
INTENT OF BOTH [inaudible]
OKAY.
OF HIS FINANCE LOW ALEJO'S.
PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS PLEASE.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR RENEE BY
ARTEMISIA YOU CALIFORNIA WE
SPONSORED AB NINETEEN SEVENTY
WHICH IMPLEMENTED OF THIS
REQUIREMENT AND WE SUPPORT THE
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE THANKS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
OKAY.
ANYTHING YOU WANT.
IT'S A QUESTIONS OF ANYONE.
OKAY SO WE'RE GOOD.
WE'LL LIKE BEING GOOD.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU SO
MUCH -- IT WILL BE DONE TO ISSUE.
EIGHTY REGARDING THE GARMENT
MANUFACTURERS SPECIAL ACCOUNT.
SO I WILL -- BRIEFLY IN THE
INTEREST OF TIME -- JUST TO ECHO
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE IN
OF THE AGENDA.
I BELIEVE WE TESTIFIED ON THIS
ISSUE A ONE THE EXECUTIVE COURT
ORDER TO TRANSFER THREE POINT
NINE MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE
UNPAID WAY TRYING TO THE GARMENT
RESTITUTION FUND.
HAS BEEN EXECUTED.
WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF CLOSING
THOSE CASES AND APPEARING TO
ISSUE CHECKS -- AS WE SPEAK --
OF THAT THE TRANSFER OF FROM THE
PAID WHICH FUND -- TAKES THE
OUTSTANDING CLAIM AMOUNT DOWN
FROM ABOUT ELEVEN POINT -- TWO
UNTIL -- APPROXIMATELY SEVEN
MILLION DOLLARS IN OUTSTANDING
CLAIMS WE ARE WATCHING THE CLOCK
A VERY -- CAREFULLY WE HAVE A
CUT OFF THAT WE HAVE TO ABIDE BY
IN IN ORDER TO CLOSE OUR BOOKS
ON TIME THIS YEAR WITH THE STATE
COMPTROLLER'S BUT WE WE
ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE.
TO MAKE ONE MORE TRANSFER WE
DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DOLLAR VALUE
OF THAT TRANSFER WILL BE YET --
BUT I DO NOT IN ANYWAY WANT TO
IMPLY.
THAT THAT TRANSFER WILL RESOLVE
ALL THE OUTSTANDING CLAIMS
BECAUSE IT WILL -- SO DOES THAT
PUT INTO JEOPARDY THE CLAIMS
MADE BY THE WORKERS THE NOT AT
ALL NOT AT ALL UNFORTUNATELY IT
SHOWS.
UP MEANS THAT THAT THOSE WORKERS
WHO ARE OLD THOSE WE JUST HAVE
TO CONTINUE TO WAIT UNTIL WE
COME UP WITH A PERMANENT
SOLUTION THE B. C. P. THAT WAS
PASSED LAST YEAR WAS ONLY. FOR A
ONE TIME TRANSFER -- AT THE TIME
THAT SEEMED TO BE UPROOTED
DECISION BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN AN
UPTICK IN CLAIMS THAT WAS --
UNANTICIPATED -- AND WITH NO
CONTEXT THE HISTORY SO WE DIDN'T
KNOW WHETHER WE WERE LOOKING AT
AN ABERRATION OR THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW PATTERN
OVER THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS OR
SO WHAT.
WAS AT THE TIME OF FOUR POINT
FIVE MILLION DOLLAR BACKLOG IN
CLAIMS CHURNED INTO AN ELEVEN
PLUS MILLION
DOLLARS A BACKLOG AND CLEAN IN
ONE YEAR SO IT'S EVIDENT EVEN
THOUGH WE ONLY HAVE TWO YEARS IN
WHAT APPEARS TO BE OUR NEW
REALITY.
IT'S EVIDENT THAT WE HAVE TO
TAKE SOME LONG TERM PERMANENT
ACTION WE WILL BE WORKING WITH
THE LABOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
AGENCY AND THE ADMINISTRATION --
TO DETERMINE -- THE BEST AND
MOST APPROPRIATE WAY TO TO MOVE
FORWARD OKAY.
OFFICE OF FINANCE -- WE JUST
WANTED -- ECHO THAT -- WE HAVE
FIVE PROCESS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER
TO TRANSFER THREE POINT NINE
FIVE MILLION AND OF COURSE WERE
WERE MONITORING CLOSELY TO MAKE
SURE THAT YOU KNOW -- WE COULD --
TRANSFER IN ANOTHER AS MUCH AS
WE CAN TO TO SUPPORT SOME OF THE
EXISTING CLAIMS AND WILL WORK
CLOSELY WITH HE DEPARTMENT OF
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS TO ASSESS
AND EVALUATE THE SUSTAINABILITY
OF UP TO FIND.
I MEAN IT IT JUST SEEMS TO ME
THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY TO PAY
THIS OFF I MEAN WHY SHOULD THE
PEOPLE WHO.
GOT [inaudible]
GET.
IN THE FIRST PLACE UP TO WAIT SO
LONG.
AND AND WE NEED TO GET THAT
DOLLAR FIGURE IS THAT WOULD WE
DON'T HAVE A DOLLAR WE DO HAVE A
FUND IS INSOLVENT.
AND SO WHAT THE SEA CHANGE WAS
CREATED BY TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE --
TWO YEARS AGO -- IN THE TWENTY
SIXTEEN BUDGET ACTIVE ACTUALLY
RAISED THE DAMAGES -- AND
INCREASE THE AWARDS THAT CLAIM
IT'S COULD RECEIVE AND SO WHAT
WAS IN RETROSPECT WITH THE VALUE
OF HINDSIGHT NOT ANTICIPATED AT
THAT TIME IS OF THE BURDEN THAT
WOULD PUT ON THE FEE STRUCTURE
WHICH HASN'T BEEN REVISED IN
DECADES SO.
THAT OBVIOUSLY HAS TO BE ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT WE LOOK AT AS A
PRACTICE OF SOLUTIONS GOING
[inaudible]
THANK YOU.

IN THE GARMENT INDUSTRY FOR
TWENTY THREE YEARS AS A TREMOR.
I DECIDED TO FILE A WAGE CLAIM
BECAUSE OF THE LONG HOURS I WORK
FROM SEVEN AM TO SIX PM.

BECAUSE OF THE PIECE RATE WHICH
ACTUALLY ONLY COMES OUT TO ABOUT
THREE TO FIVE DOLLARS AN HOUR.
I BECAME VERY STRESSED OUT BY

BILLS.

GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS MARCIN NEWS HILL AND I AM THE
PROUD DIRECTOR OF THE GARMENT
WORKER CENTER AND GET TO
ORGANIZE AND WORK WITH THIS
WONDERFUL GROUP OF WORKERS --
I'M HERE ON OUR BEHALF AND ON
BEHALF OF BUT PSAMTIK AT UCLA
LABOR CENTER AND TWENTY SEVEN
SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS AND
UNIONS -- AND WE'RE SPEAKING IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF ISSUE.
EIGHTY OUR CENTER IS LOCATED IN
THE HEART OF THE LOS ANGELES
GARMENT DISTRICT.
AND OUR CENTER WE ORGANIZE -- TO
FIGHT TO IMPROVE.
WORKING CONDITIONS AND WAGES AND
IS PART OF THAT EFFORT WE
OPERATE A LEGAL CLINIC -- AND
REPRESENT WORKERS IN THEIR WAGE
CLAIMS WITH THE STATE LABOR
COMMISSION.
YOU'VE JUST HEARD FROM OUR
MEMBERS GARMENT WORKERS TO
TRAVEL FROM LOS ANGELES
OVERNIGHT. TO TELL YOU THEIR
STORIES OF LABOR EXPLOITATION.
WHAT WE'VE LEARNED FROM OUR
MEMBERS AND WHAT WE'VE EARNED
THROUGH OUR CLINIC IS HOW
DIFFICULT AND RISKY IT CAN BE TO
FOLLOW WAGE CLAIM?
WORKERS NAVIGATE A COMPLICATED
LEGAL SYSTEM.
AND IN DOING SO THEY REST
TERMINATION THEY RISK
IMMIGRATION RELATED THREATS AND
THEY RISK BLACKLISTING.
THEY THEN WAIT THEY THEN CAN
WAIT FOR UP TO TWO YEARS FOR
THEIR CLAIM TO BE RESOLVED.
AND WHEN THEY WIN THEIR WA AND
THEY OFTEN FACE -- THE FACT THAT
THE EMPLOYERS MANUFACTURERS DO
NOT PAY UP.
WORKERS THAT ARE TRYING TO THE
GARMENT FIND IT WHERE THEY SAY
AND A YEARS LONG WAITING LIST --
IN MEANWHILE THERE'S STRUGGLING
AS YOU HEARD TO COVER RENT AND
BASICALLY BEING EXPENSES.
THE STATE CREATED THE GARMENT
FUNDS AND IN DOING SO AGREED TO
ACT AS THE PAIR OF LAST RESORT.
TO GUARANTEE PAYMENT TO THIS
VULNERABLE WORK FORCE.
THE EXISTING WEIGHTLESS
UNDERMINES THAT PURPOSE.
ANY TO ROADS WORKERS TRUST IN
GOVERNMENT.
AND DISSUADES WORKERS FROM
SEEKING TO RECOVER THEIR UNPAID
WAGES.
WE'RE VERY ENCOURAGED BY THE
RECENT TRANSFER INTO THE GARMENT
PLAN FUNDS THAT WILL PAY
APPROXIMATELY A HUNDRED AND
SIXTY TWO WORKERS THIS IS REALLY
EXCITING PROGRESS.
WE RESPECTFULLY ASK HIS
COMMITTEE SUPPORT HOWEVER TO
ELIMINATE.
THE NTIRE WEIGHT LISTA WORKERS
MAY FINALLY RECEIVE JUSTICE
THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

CENTER FOR WORKERS RIGHTS WERE
AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA -- AB
NONPROFIT AND WE REPRESENT LOW
WAGE WORKERS AT WE'RE HERE IN
SOLIDARITY WITH THE GARMENT
WORKERS -- AND FOR OPENING UP
THE FUNDS SO THAT THEY CAN BE
PAID WE BELIEVE AND AGAIN.
HONEST PAY FOR HONEST WORK AND

WITH THE WESTERN CENTERS
COMMENTS THANKS.

THERE WAS IMMEDIATE LABOR SO I
STAYED IN SUPPORT SOLIDARITY
WITH THESE WITH THESE FOLKS.
I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF
ENTERTAINING THE UNDERGROUND
ECONOMY TASK FORCE THAT BRINGS
THE VERY SAGES TOGETHER FOR THE
PURPOSE ONE OF AN ECONOMY.
AND THE COMMENTS ARE BEING ADE
BY THESE PEOPLE THE ABUSE BY
SOME OF THESE EMPLOYERS IS AN
EXAMPLE WE FIGHT FOR EVERY TIME
WE MEET -- I WOULD IMPLORE THAT
THAT WHATEVER YOU COULD POSS DUE
TO ASSIST OUR EFFORTS IN SUPPORT
OF WHAT THE RAPTURE TODAY WOULD
BE.
RE SORRY APPRECIATE US NOT ONLY
A MIGHT BE UP OF THE HAVE THE
MEMBERS THE LABORS UNION
THROUGHOUT THE CITY CALIFORNIA.
ALSO FURTHER AYE I THINK I'D
NEED TO COMBAT THE SOMEHOW WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT SOMEHOW
PLEASE EFFORTS AND SORRY NOT AN
ANSWER THIS COMMITTEE.
BUT THEY'VE BEEN KNOWN THAT
LABOR COMMISSION NEEDS TO ACT ON
THESE ISSUES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
AND NOT STAND IN LINE.
THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH --
WELL.
IT'S GOT TO BE.
IT SHOULD BE SHOCKING. TO
EVERYBODY ANYWHERE EVERYWHERE
THAT IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF SO
MUCH WEALTH.
WE COULD HAVE PEOPLE LINED UP
LIKE THIS ONE AFTER ANOTHER
AFTER ANOTHER. TO TALK ABOUT A
CLAIM THAT WAS FILED. THREE FOUR
FIVE YEARS AGO. ONE I SAY THAT
YOU KNOW IN [inaudible]
IN THE THEY WON THEIR CASE.
BUT THEY DIDN'T WIN.
BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVEN'T BEEN
PAID -- AND IT TO BE TREATED
THAT WAY AND THEN WHEN YOU GO TO
OUR GOVERNMENT AND FILE A CLAIM
WITH THE EXPECTATION.
THAT.
IF YOU WIN AGAIN IF YOU WIN YOUR
CASE YOU'RE GOING TO GET PAID.
SO THEY GO THROUGH THAT THEIR
TRUST IN THE GOVERNMENT OUGHT TO
DO THAT AND STILL.
THEY DON'T GET PAID -- AND I
THINK FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE
WITHIN OUR BUDGET WE'VE GOT TO
BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
SO.
WHATEVER THAT IS WHATEVER THAT
AMOUNT IS WE SHOULD FIGURE OUT
HOW TO MOVE THAT FORWARD BECAUSE
YOU KNOW WE CAN'T IN GOOD
CONSCIENCE.
AS A STATE GOVERNMENT ALLOW THIS
TO JUST KEEP HAPPENING THEY
EXPECT.
IF THEY DO WHAT THEY'RE TOLD TO
DO A FILING THE CLAIM THEY
EXPECT TO BE PAID.
AND THEN I GETTING PAID.
SO WHATEVER IT TAKES -- THIS
THIS LEVEL OF WAGE THAT IS
OUTRAGEOUS.
AND EVERYBODY SHOULD BE OUTRAGED
BY IT AND I CERTAINLY WILL DO
WHATEVER I CAN. TO BE HELPFUL
YOU LET'S GET ON THE LIST THAT I

BEEN PUT IN PLACE.
ALL I KNOW OF HAVE CONVERSATIONS
QUITE ABILITY PART AND US
RELATIONS ON IS A VERY LEVELS.
I UNDERSTAND THEY ARE WORKING ON
IT -- BUT AGAIN THEY HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON SINCE TWENTY ELEVEN
AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED.
MEANWHILE THE THE EXPOSURE
LEVELS CONTINUE TO RISE IN MANY
CASES THESE FOLKS END UP WITH NO
EMPLOYMENT DUE TO THE FACT.
THAT THEY GET TO THE TO THE
LEVELS THAT THEY NO LONGER
MEDICALLY COULD CONTINUE WORKING.
THE A TICKET COUPLE SECONDS HERE
COLLEGES AND WORKING VERY
CLOSELY IN REVISING THE PL.
BUT AS JONES THE OR KNOWN AS A
GENERAL INDUSTRY LED STANDARD
AND CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY LED
STANDARD FOR THE PROTECTION OF
WORKERS WERE EXPOSED TO LEAD ON
THE JOB.
I AM I DEBT.
IN ADDITION TO THE FIRES IN
CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN ABOUT A
MASSIVE EFFORT TO BE ABLE TO
REMOVE ALL LEAD IN PAINT.
IN AS BEST AS AN INSTALLATION
ETCETERA ETCETERA AND MANY OF
OUR OLDER BUILDINGS THROUGHOUT
THE STATE WHICH ALSO OF COURSE
INCREASES NUMBER WORKERS EXPOSED.
TO THESE LEVELS.
THE CRYSTAL REQUIRES THAT EVERY
EMPLOYER SHALL ENSURE THAT NO
EMPLOYEES EXPOSED TO LEAD A
CONCENTRATIONS GREATER THAN
FIFTY MICROGRAMS PER CUBIC METER
OF AIR AVERAGED OVER AN EIGHT
HOUR PERIOD.
I MIGHT ADD THAT IN MOST CASES
THESE ARE MORE THAN EIGHT HOURS
SHIPS.
DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE
TO DO IT IN MANY CASES WERE
EXPOSED TO THE PUBLIC.
THE STAIRS BASED ON MEDICAL AND
SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION IS MORE
THAN THIRTY FIVE YEARS OLD OVER
THIS TIME MUCH HAS BEEN LEARNED
ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF LEAD AMONG
ADULTS AT LOWER EXPOSURE LEVELS.
ACCORDING TO THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
CURRENT SIZE FOR THE
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH.
PERSPECTIVES IN A NATIONAL
TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM AND THE US
EPA STRONGLY INDICATES THE WORK
OF LEVELS.
THAT LOCAL BLOOD LEAD LEVELS
SHOULD NOT EXCEED TWO FIVE TO
TEN MICROGRAMS PER CUBIC METER
OVER A WORKING LIFETIME NEVER
MIND EIGHT HOUR DAY.
YET EXISTING STANDARDS Là
WORKERS TO HAVE BLOOD.
LEAD LEVELS UP TO FIFTY TO SIXTY
MICROGRAMS.
PER CUBIC METER BEFORE THEY HAVE
TO BE REMOVED FROM SIGNIFICANT
LEAD EXPOSURE.
THE P. L. X. IS IT PROPOSED TO
BE UPDATED TO REFLECT CURRENT
MEDICAL SCIENCE AND ESTABLISH A
MORE PROTECTIVE STANDARD FOR LET
CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONALS.
BUT IT HAS BEEN EIGHT YEARS
SINCE THE ROOM MAKING WAS OPEN
AND THE REVISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE.
DISTILLATES HARMING WORKERS
INCLUDING MY OWN MEMBERS.
ESPECIALLY WITH THE INCREASED
EXPOSURE MY MEMBERS ARE.
FACING A PERFORMING ALL THE
WILDLIFE.
WELL FAR CLEANUP WORK PROCESS
STATE THERE'S NO REASON THEY
SHOULD BE OPERATING ON THE
STANDARDS BASED ON A THIRTY FIVE
REAL SCIENCE.
I JUST I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
THAT SOMEHOW WE COULD POSSIBLY
DO THIS COMMITTEE EXPEDITE --
CAL OSHA TO ACT ON THIS
IMMEDIATELY WHILE THEY'RE SAYING
THAT TWENTY TWENTY OR MID TWENTY
TWENTY WOULD BE IT WHEN THEY
COME UP WITH THAT.
I THINK THAT THIS COMMITTEE CAN
BE VERY HELPFUL IN EXPEDITING
THIS FOR THE SAKE OF ALL THESE
WORKERS.
SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
APPROVAL.
YOU'RE VERY MINUTE -- BUT COMMON
ARE I WOULD ONLY ADD IN THE
DEPARTMENT CONCUR THAT THAT WE
NEED TO MOVE ON THIS AS QUICKLY
AS WE CAN I CAN'T.
SPEAK.
TO OF THE TIME SPAN THAT THAT.
STARTED IN TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN
AND TOOK A SQUARED WE ARE TODAY --
WHAT I CAN SAY IS THAT THE
DEPARTMENT HAS WORK
COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE WE HAVE
INCORPORATED ALL DRAFT FEEDBACK?
OF THE DEPARTMENT HAS MOVED TO
THE REGULATORY PACKAGE TO OTHER
LABOR IN THE WORKFORCE AGENCY
FOR APPROVAL -- IT WILL THEN GO
BACK TO A FORMAL SUBMISSION TO
FINANCE AND THEN -- TO OF THE
OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW.
THE DEPARTMENT HAS DONE WHAT IT
CAN THE IN THIS PROCESS THERE IS
AN APPROVAL PROCESS FOR
REGULATION FOR REGULATION'S BUT
THAT THE DEPARTMENT CANNOT
LEGALLY CIRCUMVENT.
SOUL -- WE ARE WE'RE GRATEFUL
THAT IT HAS TAKEN US THIS LONG
TO GT HERE -- BUT WE ARE
WORKING EXPEDITIOUSLY.
IN THE PROCESS WHICH WOULD WHICH
WE LIST IT HERE AT THIS TIME SO
WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG.
WHAT I MEAN?
SERIOUSLY THIS IS THIS JUST
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AND AND I I I
RESPECT WOULD YOU SAY THAT
YOU'VE BEEN WORKING
COLLABORATIVE IN ALL THIS UT
THAT'S NOT WORKING.
AND AND A WHAT IS IT GOING TO
TAKE.
AND YOU KNOW THERE ARE I KNOW
THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
WOULD THEY WILL HAVE A BACKLOG
OR SOMETHING IS GOING ON THAT'S
TAKING LONGER FAST FOR MORE
STAFF DOES WERE RESOURCES WE'VE
BEEN DOING THIS FOR MONTHS NOW.
TAKING UP REQUEST. FOR MORE
STAFFING MORE RESOURCES WHAT IS
IT GONNA TAKE.
AND HERE I HONESTLY I CANNOT
DEFEND THE TIME THAT THEY TOOK
FROM. 200-011-22000 AND SIXTEEN
WE COULD TO MOVE TO TO BEGIN TO
TAKE ACTION ON THESE REGULATIONS
I KNOW ALL THAT.
EXHAUSTIVE MEETINGS WERE HER OR
HELD BUT FRANKLY I JUST I'M I'M
BEING AS HONEST IN THIS
TRANSPARENT AND CANDID AS I CAN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED I
DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED.
THE DELAY ALL I CAN SPEAK TO
GOING FORWARD IS WHAT WE ARE
DOING NOW AND PROVIDE THE
DEPARTMENT'S ASSURANCE THAT WE
ARE WORKING AS EXPEDITIOUSLY.
AS WE CAN.
YES AND JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT --
THIS REGULATION I HAS AN
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS WHICH
TRIGGERS THE THE THE
STANDARDIZED REGULATION IMPACT
ANALYSIS THE SHARIA AND SO THAT
CERTAIN THE REQUIRES A YOU KNOW
DISCUSSIONS WITH STAKEHOLDERS
AND AND SO -- YOU KNOW WE'VE
RECEIVED A DROP OF THE YEAR OF
THE I. R. SRI -- WE'VE EEN
WORKING WITH THEM SINCE WE'VE
MOVED OUT MANY OF THE CONCERNS
AND I THINK AT THIS POINT.
ADD THE REGULATION SHOULD BE
READY BY MID -- TWENTY TWENTY AS
AND WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE
UPDATED DROPS WITH ALL OF OUR
WOULD BE UPDATED TRAPS BUT WE'RE
YOU KNOW WE'RE LOOKING FOR TO
RECEIVING A AND AND MOVING THIS
REGULATION ALONG AND AND YES.
SO WHY WOULD DO IT WOULD HAVE TO
TAKE ANOTHER YEAR PLUS IF THE IT
IF I MAY SPEAK TO THAT QUESTION --
THE THE APPROVAL PROCESS UNDER
THE ADMINISTRATIVE -- OFFICE OF
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW MAY TAKE UP
TO A YEAR THIS IS A MAJOR
REGULATION.
IT IS POSSIBLE WHEN I CAN'T
PROMISE ANYTHING BECAUSE WHEN I
AM CONTROL THAT PROCESS BUT IF
THE DEPARTMENT HAS DONE ITS WORK
WELL IF THOSE MEETINGS.
STAKEHOLDERS MEETINGS THAT TOOK
PLACE RECEIVED A THAT INPUT FROM
THE COMMUNITY IF THIS PACKAGE IS
REFLECTIVE IT'S POSSIBLE THAT
THE PACKAGE COULD MOVE MUCH MORE
QUICKLY THAN THAT.
I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT I CAN'T
PROVIDING ASSURANCE OF THAT THE
ONE THING I CAN SAY IS THAT THIS
PACKAGE GOALS BEYOND JUST THE
PALE LIMIT. TO ALSO THE ACTION
LEVEL WHICH IS ANOTHER LAYER OF
PROTECTION SO IT REVISES.
OF THE PILL LIMITS AS THE
GENTLEMAN HAS COMENTED ON BUT
IT GOES BEYOND -- THOSE SPELL
LIMITS IT IS A STRONGER
PROTECTION THAN CHEST REVISING
THE PALE LIMITS A LOT.
AND SO I'M NOT A SCIENTIST I
CAN'T SPEAK TO THEM ANYMORE THAN
I ALREADY HAVE -- BUT WE'RE
WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THE PROCESS
WILL NOT TAKE A YEAR BUT TO MR
HIM IN THIS IS POINT.
IT IS NOT UNUSUAL IF IF WE ARE
REQUIRED.
COULD GOAL THROUGH THE OFFICE OF
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW. TWO IN ACTED
THIS REGULATION.
IT'S NOT UNCOMMON THAT THE
PROCESS TAKES A YEAR.
THE SERVER MAY.
YOU KNOW THE FACT THE MATTER IS
IF THERE IS A HECK UP IN THE
PROCESS.
IF IN FACT THE DEPARTMENT HAS
FOUND THAT THERE'S THEY HAVE TO
GO THROUGH CERTAIN STEPS TO
ACQUIRE AND GET THE REGULATION
IN PLACE IT JUST SEEMS TO ME
THAT AT SOME POINT.
SOMEBODY WOULD COME UP IN FLAG
THAT UP AND SAID YOU KNOW WE'RE
TRYING TO GET THIS AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE BUT WE'RE HAVING TO DO
WITH THIS OR THE OTHER.
AND THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYTHING
ON THAT IS THE ONLY REASON I'M
HERE BEFORE YOU.
BECAUSE IF IT'S IF IT'S A MATTER
OF THE TYPICAL GOVERNMENT SLOW
DOWN AS WITH HER FOR THE PRIOR
PRESENTATION.
THEN.
YOU KNOW AT LEAST SOMEBODY GO
AND START.
FLAGGING IT TO YOU ON THE
LEGISLATURE TO BE ABLE TO
EXPEDITE THE PROCESS.
AND THESE PEOPLE IN MANY CASES.
RELEASE MY EMPLOYERS WE MONITOR
THEM WE MAKE SURE THAT THEIR
EMPLOYERS ARE ARE MONITORING THE
EXPOSURE LEVELS.
WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE THAT HAVE
BEEN NO REPRESENTATION THAT HAD
DO NOT HAVE AN OVERSIGHT FROM A
THIRD PARTY FOR EXAMPLE WHAT
ABSOLUTE?
BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY DIRTY
TYPE ACTIVITY IT'S A LOWEST PAID
IN THE INDUSTRY.
AND IN THE CONSTRUCTION THIS
RESULT WAS PAID.
YET THE MOST HAZARDOUS.
SO I WOULD BE OF THE DEPARTMENT
THAT WHAT THEY COULD MAKES
COMMITTEES IS GONNA TAKE ONE
MORE YEAR TO THE MINISTRY OF LAW.
I WOULD HOPE THAT BY THE GET
TIME TO GET TO THAT POINT TO
THIRTY THERE'S WITH IT IT TAKES
IN A YEAR AND NOT ANOTHER FIVE
YEARS.
MR HELLO ANY COMMENTS.
WELL.
YOU KNOW I THINK THE MOST
DISAPPOINTING PART OF THE FIRST
IS THE NUMBER OF YEARS IT'S
TAKEN.
BUT THERE'S NO PLAN.
REALLY TO EXPEDITE THIS.
IF I MAY THERE'S NEVER THERE AND
LISTEN UNDERSTAND BUT AND NO I I
DON'T THINK YOU'RE
MISUNDERSTANDING NECESSARILY I
JUST WONDER [inaudible]
GENTLY CORRECT WHAT AGES.
THE DEPARTMENT HAS NO CAPACITY.
TO ACCELERATE THIS PROCESS FROM
THIS POINT BECAUSE THE
DEPARTMENT DOESN'T OWN THE
PROCESS -- OF THIS HAS TO GO
THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE IT HAS TO GO TO THE
STANDARDS BOARD WHICH IS A
SEPARATE ENTITY THAT HAS
JURISDICTION OVER THIS MATTER IT
HAS TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS
AND WE DON'T HAVE THE POWER. TO
SET THAT PROCESS ASIDE.
I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT YOU SET
THE PROCESS ASIDE I'M SUGGESTING
THAT YOU HAD THE STAFFING YOU
COULD MOVE THE PROCESS FORWARD I
ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH THAT SO IF
IS STAFF IN AN ISSUE I FINISHED
LAUGHING WAS AN ISSUE.
I CAN'T SENATE STAFFING IS AN
ISSUE TODAY.
BECAUSE WE'RE WORKING ON IT.
BUT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT.
THE SLOWDOWN OR OF THE INACTION
WAS IMPACTED BY MANY THINGS I
DON'T HAVE PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF
THAT -- BUT OBVIOUSLY WE DID NOT
MOVE ON THIS REGULATION AS
QUICKLY AS WE COULD I DON'T WANT
TO MAKE ANY EXCUSES AT ALL IT'S
CLEAR THE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT
DISPUTE IN ANY WAY.
THAT IT SHOULD HAVE MOVED FASTER.
VISUAL SENATOR RESO AND DANIEL
BRAND WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCEI JUST WANT TO ADD THAT
YOU KNOW AS WE IDENTIFIED THERE
ISN'T THE OFFICE OF
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW PROCESS --
WHICH WE ARE IN NOW SO I DON'T
BELIEVE THAT STAFFING IS AN
ISSUE IT D. I. R. IT'S GOING
THROUGH THIS PROCESS GETTING IT
PASSED FINANCE REVIEW -- WE ARE
LOOKING INTO THE IMPACTS AND AT
A FIFTY DOLLAR A FIFTY MILLION
DOLLAR MY APOLOGIES.
AND MINIMUM IMPACT TO BE A MAJOR
REGULATION THERE IS A LOT GOING
ON HERE -- AND SO WE'VE HAD A
LOT OF BACK AND FORTH WITH THE
DEPARTMENT I DON'T THINK
STAFFING IS AN ISSUE AT THIS
TIME AS WE ARE JUST NOW.
ENTERING INTO THIS HE SAID WE
RECEIVE THIS FREE AND ARE
ENTERING IN THE LA L. PROCESS
THEM WITH THAT GOES INTO A
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD
AND JUST THE REQUIRED TIME
FRAMES FOR THOSE PROCESSES AND
THANK YOU.
THIS IS THE SECOND IN TERMS OF
TWO GROUPS THE WORKERS HERE NOT
A HAPPY MOMENT FOR ME NO I KNOW
IT'S NOT FOR YOU AND IT'S NOT
IT'S WORSE. FOR THEM.

MANY OF THOSE WORKERS DON'T HAVE
TO HELP.
YOU HAVE YOUR PAYCHECK OF THOSE
WORKERS DON'T HAVE THEIR
PAYCHECK I YOU KNOW WE HAVE GOT.
TO YOU HAVE GOT OR WHOEVER ELSE
ON YOUR TEAM WE HAVE GOT TO PAY
MORE ATTENTION TO THESE ISSUES
EITHER GETTING THEIR RESOURCES
THAT ARE NEEDED FOR YOU TO BE
ABLE TO DO CARRY OUT YOUR WORK.
WHATEVER IT TAKES.
I'M JUST SAYING WE'VE GOT TO
GIVE.
WE GOT TO GIVE MORE ATTENTION TO
THIS SO WE WE ARE WORKING WITH
THE DIVISION AND WORKING WITH
ALL PARTIES INVOLVED TO HELP
