THE COMMITTEE ON ISSUE NUMBER
FOUR ENHANCE FIRE PROTECTION.
OKAY CLOSE PUBLIC HEARING BRING
IT BACK TO THE THE DAIS --
SENATE MCGUIRE THANK YOU SO MUCH
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I DO
APPRECIATE.
HOW FIRED FROM THE FINANCING IN
FORD THIS ISSUE ON NUMBER FOUR
ELECTED THEIR SPEAK SPECIFICALLY
AND ONE ISSUE IN REGARDS?
TO THE THIRTEEN FIRE ENGINES
UNDER ISSUE NUMBER.
FOUR I'M WHERE.
I THINK MANY OF OUR CONCERNS
HAVE BEEN OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
MONTHS.
IN TAKING A LOOK AT THE FATIGUE
THAT WE'VE SEEN OVER THE PAST
FOUR YEARS WITHIN THE RANKS OF
CALIFORNIA.
THE ONLY WAY THAT WE'RE GONNA BE
ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS CHALLENGE
AND I SAY IT'S ONE OF THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGES THIS
DEPARTMENT HAS EVER FACED IN ITS
HISTORY.
THE FATIGUE THAT BRAVE MEN AND
WOMEN WHO ARE GOING IN.
WHEN ALL ARE COMING OUT?
AND WHILE I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE
GOVERNOR ADVANCING THIRTEEN FIRE
ENGINES -- IT'S SIMPLY NOT
ENOUGH.
THE STATE IS STILL UNDER THE
PEAK OF IN NINETEEN SEVENTY FIVE
OR THIRTY ONE ENGINE SHORT OF
WHERE WE WERE IN NINETEEN
SEVENTY FIVE IN THE STATE -- SO
WHERE.
WHERE I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GO
IS A COMMITMENT? TO BE ABLE TO
SAY IT'S GOING TO BE THIRTEEN
THIS YEAR. THIRTEEN NEXT HI AND
THEN I AFTER THE NEXT FISCAL
YEAR TO BE ABLE TO GET US TO
WHERE WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GO
TO BE ABLE TO HELP THOSE.
WHO ARE?
AT FIFTEEN YOU HEAR IN THE RANKS
WITHIN THE DISTRICTS OF
CALIFORNIA EACH AND EVERY DAY.
HOW LONG THEY'RE GONE?
HOW IT'S IMPACTING THEMSELVES
AND IMPACT IN THE FAMILY?
SO THAT'S WHERE I THINK THAT WE
NEED TO BE ABLE TO GO OVER THE
NEXT. THIRTY SIX MONTHS IS
CONTINUE TO ADD THOSE THIRTEEN
ENGINES THIS YEAR.
NEXT YEAR AND THE YEAR AFTER I
TO BE ABLE TO GET US BACK TO
WHERE WE WERE IN NINETEEN
FLIPPIN SEVENTY FIVE BEFORE I
WAS BORN.
SO I THINK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
I HAVE NO COMMENT WHERE I WAS IN
[inaudible]
NINETEEN SEVENTY FIVE SENATOR
MINING.
IF YOU CAN REMEMBER YOU WEREN'T
THERE.
I JUS WANT TO ADD ON TO THE
COMMENTS OF SENATOR MCGUIRE.
I APPRECIATE THE
ADMINISTRATION'S COMMITMENT TO
WHAT'S IN FRONT OF US.
I ALSO SHARE THE CONCERN.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT?
STAFFING AND WHEN WE LOOK DOWN
TO THE EMPLOYEE WELLNESS AND
UNDERSTANDING THAT UNDER THE NEW
ABNORMAL AS GOVERNOR BROWN --
DESCRIBED IT OF EXTENDED FIRE
SEASONS EXTENDED WEATHER EXTREME
WEATHER EVENTS.
IN TE RISK THAT WERE PUTTING
FIREFIGHTERS.
AT ON THE FRONT LINES.
THAT'S WHAT'S PROMPTED ADDING
THE EMPLOYEE WELLNESS PEACE.
UNDERSTANDING THAT MORE
FIREFIGHTERS HAVE DIED FROM
SUICIDE THAN ON THE FRONTLINE OF
FIRES THERE'S A TRAUMA NOT
DISSIMILAR FROM.
BEING AT WAR ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS WORK.
SO WHEN WE TRANSLATE.
ENGINES THIRTEEN TWO HUNDRED
THIRTY ONE ADDITIONAL POSITIONS.
REDUCE STRESS FOR ALL
FIREFIGHTERS BY INCREASING NOT
JUST TRUCKS.
BUT STAFFING ON THE FIRE LINE SO.
I WANT TO JUST JOIN WITH SENATOR
MCGUIRE AND EXPRESSING MY
COMMITMENT TO CONTINUE TO WORK
IN THE NEXT. TWO YEARS BEYOND
THIS BUDGET YEAR. FOR THIS
CONTINUED ENHANCEMENT OF NOT
JUST TENSIONS BUT OF HUMAN
RESOURCES.
WORKING WITH THEIR BROTHERS AND
SISTERS ON THE FRONT LINES IN A
APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SHARE THAT CENTER JONES.
THE CHAIRMAN AND I JUST WANT TO
VOICE MY MORE ON THAT AS WELL.
AND NOT LOOK FOR TO BEING BACK
HERE NEXT YEAR AND ADVOCATING
FOR MORE FIRE ENGINES AND
STAFFING AS WELL AS MOST FOLKS
REALIZE THAT MY DISTRICT IS ONE
OF THE HIGH FIRE ZONES AS WELL --
HAVING ONE OF THE TO WORST FIRES
TWO THOUSAND THREE IN.
TWO THOUSAND SEVEN ARE.
THERE IS STILL A GREAT RISK AND
WHEN MY FIREFIGHTERS TRAVELED
THE REST OF THE STATE. FOR A
EIGHT OTHER TALENTS SOME THE
FARTHEST DISTRICT DISTANCES AND
HOME AWAY FROM HOME THE MOST AND
I I THINK THAT THIS GOES.
TO HELPING.
FIRST OF ALL PROTECT A DEFENDANT
AND THEN HELPING OUR
FIREFIGHTERS RETURN HOME SOONER.
AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT
THANK YOU [inaudible]
CENTER STERN.
I WANT TO ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH.
MY COLLEAGUES COMMENTS
[inaudible]
AND JUST.
MAKE ONE NOTE WE'VE BEEN BEATING
HIS DRUM I THINK ALL YEAR TALK
WITH LA -- ABOUT IN THE
ADMINISTRATION.
RIGHT SIZING THE SCOPE OF OUR
RESILIENCY BUDGET OVERALL
WHETHER IT'S ON THE SUPPRESSION
SIDE ON PREVENTION SIDE LOOKING
IN MITIGATION.
I THINK WE NEED OVERALL A RESET
ABOUT.
WHAT IS A LOT OF IT WHAT'S A LOT
AND WHAT ISN'T AND I FRANKLY
THINK ALL THIS IS UNDERSIZED THE
FACT THEY WERE FORCED TO TO SORT
OF FIGHT IN THESE?
NARROW POTS FOR FUNDING WHEN
THIS IS THE BIGGEST CRISIS STATE
BUSINESS DATA CALIFORNIA CLIMATE
CHANGES HERE.
NOT GOING ANYWHERE TO ACTUALLY
GOING TO GET WORSE SO -- FULLY
SUPPORT THAT BUT JUST IN THIS
BROADER CONTEXT IS AS WE GO
THROUGH THE GREENHOUSE GAS
PRODUCTION FUND WE LOOK AT OUR
PRICE OF CARBON AND WHERE IT IS
RIGHT NOW IN THIS STATE WHICH IS
ACTUALLY NOT THE SOCIAL COST OF
CARBON SEXY HALF OF WHAT.
THE TRUE COST OF CARBON IS AND
MORE BROADLY ABOUT OUR
STRATEGIES AND RESILIENCY FUNNY
I THINK THERE'S A WAY TO LIFT.
ALL ENGINES AND THE REST OF IT
AT THE SAME TIME BUT WE'RE GONNA
NEED THAT ANALYSIS SO.
JUST.
AS THERE BEEN ANY FURTHER
THINKING IN AT A DEAL WHERE FOR
AT IT AND ELLIE -- OR EVEN I
KNOW WE HAVE -- P. R. HERE TODAY
AS WELL.
WHAT THE SORT OF HOW TO HAVE A
PROPER NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND
WHETHER WERE ACTUALLY UNDER
SHOOTING ALL OF THIS?
STEPHEN BENSON DEPARTMENT FINDS
LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT IN A
PREVIOUS HEARING.
HOW FIRE IS AS A KIND OF A?
SPIN OFF BUT IT IS A PART OF THE
THE STRATEGIC PLAN THEY FINISH
THEIR GOING TO BE STARTING TO
WORK ON KIND OF THE LARGER.
ASSESSMENT OF THE OVERALL
STATEWIDE NEED MORE THAN MAYBE
GAPS AND I THINK THAT'S
SOMETHING WE LOOK FORWARD -- TO
TO TRY AND GET TO THIS KIND OF
RIGHT SIZING CONCEPT -- I THINK.
CAN BUILDING OFTEN COMMENT YOU
MADE TO ME IN THE
ADMINISTRATION'S OVERALL
FRAMEWORK FOR THE BUDGET WAS
THAT OF RESILIENCY WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT.
WHEN WE DO ONGOING INVESTMENTS
WERE KIND OF KEEPING IN LINE
WITH WHAT THE ON GOING REVENUE
LOOKS LIKE AND I THINK THE LAST
THING YOU WANT TO DO IS INVEST?
IN A BUNCH OF THESE TYPES OF
RESOURCES AND THEN FIND OUT
ECONOMY SLOWS DOWN AND NOW WE'RE
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE
THINGS OUT OF THE BUDGET.
WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO BE IN
A POSITION WHERE WE'RE LOOKING
AT THAT AGAIN.
I THINK YOU WELL I CAN'T COMMENT
TO WHAT THE MINISTRATION WE
PROPOSING OVER THE NEXT TO YOU
KNOW BUDGET.
CYCLES I THINK IT'S CLEAR THAT
THIS CONVERSATIONS NOT GOING
AWAY -- THIS ISSUES NOT REALLY
GOING AWAY AND SO WE'RE
OBVIOUSLY GOING TO CONTINUE TO
BE.
TALKING ABOUT LOOKING AT A
TRACKING IT IS THE NEEDS
ASSESSMENT STUFF IS DEVELOPING
COMES OUT THAT'S GOING TO BE AN
IMPORTANT TOOL TO US IN FIGURING
OUT WHERE TO INVEST.
THIS PROPOSAL WAS REALLY ABOUT
TRYING TO SAY WITHIN THAT
FRAMEWORK OF MAINTAINING BUDGET
RESILIENCY WHAT KIND OF A
COLLECTION OF INVESTMENTS WE CAN
MAKE IN SOME NEEDED AREAS AND SO.
ALL THAT AVIATION WAS IMPORTANT
WE FELT THAT INVESTING IN THE
HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF THE OF
THE FIREFIGHTERS.
WE'RE THE VERY IMPORTANT ENGINES
IS ALWAYS VERY IMPORTANT STEP.
THERE'S JUST A WHOLE LOT OF
AREAS WHERE THIS IS SUPER
CRITICAL AND TRYING TO KEEP
WITHIN THAT FRAMEWORK RESILIENCY.
WE TRY TO DO A BALLOT -- AND
THAT WAS REALLY A FRAMEWORK AND
I AGAIN LIKE I SAID I I DON'T
EXPECT THAT OVER THE NEXT FEW
YEARS THIS CONVERSATION IS GOING
ANYWHERE WORK AND HAVE TO
CONTINUE TO LOOK AT IT IN HERE
TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP
ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
AND I WOULD JUST I WOULD JUST
ASK IS AS CAL FIRE GOES THROUGH
ITS TEACHING THREE THINKING TO
MAKE IT INTEGRATIVE.
THINK ABOUT HOW TO UTILIZE THE
OFFICE OF PLANNING AND RESEARCH
TO LEAN ON THE RESOURCES AGENCY
RIGHT TO LOOK AT SORT OF OTHER
AGENCIES WITH.
THE SORT OF BROADER STAKE IN.
AND NOT JUST THE BUDGET
RESILIENCY BUT THE ACTUAL
PHYSICAL CLIMATE RESILIENCY THE
STATE AND TRY TO GET SOME
STRATEGIC THINKING BECAUSE WE
MAY ACCEPT TO THINK OF NEW IDEAS
THAT WE DON'T REALLY HAVE AT OUR
DISPOSAL HERE TODAY -- TO IF I
COULD JUST BILLING OF THAT
THOUGHT AGAIN ANY WE TALKED
YESTERDAY ABOUT THE INNOVATIVE
PROCUREMENTS RENDON THINGS THEY
WERE TRYING TO DO SOME THINGS
WHERE IT'S LIKE LET'S FIND SOME
NEW IDEAS I THINK CERTAINLY.
TYING IN ADDITIONAL DEPARTMENTS
AND EXPERTISE OF THOSE AREAS IS
REALLY A PART OF THAT BUT ALSO
YOU KNOW.
FINALLY SALUTE.
THANK YOU AND I WILL -- I JOIN
THE CHOIR I WILL -- I'VE ASSURE
THE MEMBERS THAT THE INCREASE IN
ADDITIONAL FIRE ENGINES IS AN
IMPORTANT PIECE IN THE STRATEGIC
PLANNING FOR CALIFORNICA
TOMAHAWKS AND IS C. ONE THIRTIES
AND THAT.
I WILL BE MEETING WITH --
DIRECTOR PORTER AFTER WE GET
THROUGH THIS BUDGET TO TO FIND
OUT WHAT THE WHAT THE NEXT THREE
YEAR PLAN IS FROM CAL FIRE ON
PROVIDING THESE SAID.
THE NECESSARY ADDITIONAL -- FIRE
ENGINE SAID SEND REQUIRE HAS SO
ELOQUENTLY TALKED ABOUT.
WITH THAT.
WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
AND TO BE RETURNED FOR THAT THE
ROBUST DISCUSSION.

AND WITH THAT.
WE ARE PLEASE.
THE OPEN OUR HEARING ON THIS
MATTER.
THANK YOU CHAIR CATHY THANK YOU
MEMBERS OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE I'M
I'M K GORDON I'M THE
DIRECTOR OF THE OFFICE OF
PLANNING AND RESEARCH AS WELL AS
THE GOVERNOR'S SENIOR ADVISER ON
CLIMATE CHANGE AND GOING TO GIVE
A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW.
OF THE PRIORITIES IN THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET ON I'M
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION FIND I
SHOULD SAY AND I APOLOGIZE TO
THE OUTSIDE I HAVE TO ACTUALLY
LEAVE IN TEN MINUTES SO I'M
GONNA DO THAT OVERVIEW MATT ALL
ME FROM FINANCE WILL TAKE OVER
WITH.
QUESTIONS THERE ARE ALSO PEOPLE
HERE FROM -- MANY OF THE
AFFECTED AGENCIES WHO ARE ABLE
TO GIVE IN YOU KNOW ADDITIONAL
DETAIL SO.
I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT AND I
APOLOGIZE FOR THE DELAY THAT'S
ALL RIGHT I'M GLAD I COULD STAY --
TO TO GIVE THE HIGH LEVEL
PRESENTATION.
I'M JUST A COUPLE OF OF FRAMING
REMARKS BEFORE GETTING INTO THE
MEAT OF THE BUDGET THE STATE AS
YOU ALL KNOW AND YOU'VE ALL BEEN
A KEY PART OF THE US HAS MADE
MAJOR PROGRESS ON GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTION OVER THE PAST DECADE.
GILLOOLY IN THE ELECTRICITY
SECTOR WE'VE MATTER GOALS AHEAD
OF TIME IT'S BEEN YOU KNOW THE
ENVY OF MANY STATES AND
COUNTRIES.
HOWEVER WE ARE STILL SEEING
CHALLENGES IN SOME KEY AREAS
WERE EMISSIONS ARE EITHER STEADY
OR GOING UP.
YEAR BY YEAR THE TICKET LE LY AS
WE SIGNED THE SB ONE FIFTY
REPORT LAST YEAR FROM AIR BE
TRANSPORTATION EMISSIONS
CONTINUE TO RISE TRANSPORTATION.
COUNTING WE'RE I'D COUNTING --
REFINING EXTRACTING REFINING IS
51% OF OUR MISSION PICTURE AND
PARTICULARLY IN THE AREA OF
LIGHT DUTY VEHICLES AND VMT
VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED.
THOSE NUMBERS KEEP GOING UP
WE'RE ALSO SEEING.
STEADY STATE BUT GOING UP ON THE
TRANSPORTATION SIDE OF BOTH
INDUSTRIAL AND AGRICULTURAL
SECTORS.
AND OF COURSE INCREASE EMISSIONS
FROM WILDFIRES.
AT THE SAME TIME THE
LEGISLATURE'S RIGHTLY FOCUSED IN
TIME IS LOOKING AT THESE ISSUES
ON THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
AND UNDERSERVED AND DON'T
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES AND WE
KNOW THROUGH.
MANY OF THE BILLS PASSED IN LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS AB THREE NINETY
EIGHT I'M REALLY WITH A FOCUS ON
EQUITY AND WORK FOR SOME
PARTICULAR.
S SIX SEVENTEEN WITHIN I COULD
EQUITY FOCUS AND OF COURSE SB
NINE A ONE ON FIRES HOW
IMPORTANT THOSE -- THOSE OUT
LEGISLATIVE PUSHES HAVE BEEN.
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET FOCUSES IN
ON THESE TWO THINGS ESSENTIALLY
THE AREAS WHERE WE HAVE MADE
LESS PROGRESS.
ON GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION
REDUCTION AND WHERE SHE SHE
POLLUTION IMPACTS MOST DIRECTLY
AFFECT UNDERSERVED AND
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES.
HE PRIORITY AND IF PARTICULARLY
AND THE INCREASES IN THE MAYOR
VISION.
WAS TO MAKE INVESTMENTS THAT
WOULD AFFECT INDIVIDUALS AND
COMMUNITIES DIRECTLY.
AND REALLY GET AT THAT
INTERSECTION OF CLIMATE IMPACTS
IN PEOPLE'S LIVES YOU'LL ALSO
SEE PARTICULARLY IN THE MAYOR
VISION OF FOCUS ON THE LONGER
TERM HOW DO WE THINK ABOUT THIS
TRANSITION THAT WE'RE COMMITTED
TO MAKE. TO CARBON NEUTRAL
ECONOMY BUT TWENTY FORTY FIVE I
SHOULD SAY AND I'M NEW TO THE
ADMINISTRATION BUT I'VE BEEN
REALLY IMPRESSED BY THE
COLLABORATIVE.
NATURE OF THE DISCUSSIONS
BETWEEN THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE IN
THE AGENCIES SO THIS BUDGET DOES
REFLECT A COLLABORATION ACROSS.
AFFECTED AGENCIES. TWENTY GOING
TO THE LINE ITEMS HERE -- ON THE
BUDGET AND OF COURSE I KNOW
YOU'LL HAVE QUESTIONS BUT I'LL
GIVE IT A HIGH LEVEL TAKE.
I'M YOU SAW OF COURSE IN THE
JANUARY BUDGET -- AND WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THOSE COMBINED
BUDGETS NOT JUST MAY AND IN THE
JANUARY BUDGET ON A MAJOR FOCUS
ON FOREST MANAGEMENT AND FIRE OF
COURSE I'M COMING OUT OF NINE A
ONE BUT ALSO JUST COMING OUT OF
THE WORST FIRE SEASON THAT WE
SEE IN.
EVER IN CALIFORNIA IN RECORDED
HISTORY.
THOSE INVESTMENTS THAT ARE
CONTINUED IN THE MAY REVISED IN
FIRE.
PARTICULARLY ON PREVENTION AND
RESILIENCE ARE REALLY CRITICAL
THOSE ARE INVESTMENTS IN BOTH
MITIGATION FIRES AGAIN OR WHEN A
BIG CONTRIBUTOR TO GREENHOUSE
GAS EMISSIONS IN THE STATE.
BUT ALSO IN CLIMATE RESILIENCE
WE KNOW THAT THE FIRES WILL
BECOME MORE SEVERE AND MORE
FREQUENT GOING FORWARD.
AND THESE INVESTMENTS WE SEE AS
A KEY PART OF A LARGER
RESILIENCE STRATEGY.
YOU'LL ALSO SEE.
I'M IN I BE IN THE JANUARY
BUDGET AND OF COURSE CONTINUE
THROUGH ON TWO MAY I THIS
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT IN THE
SIX SEVENTEEN PROGRAM THAT'S
REALLY DIRECT INVESTMENT IN.
IN DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES AND
I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER THING
THAT GOES THROUGH THESE
INVESTMENTS.
THE MAJOR AREAS INCREASES IN MAY
ON THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ARE
AS FOLLOWS. ONE IS A SIGNIFICANT
INCREASE IN THE TRANSFORMATIVE
CLIMATE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM.
BRINGING THE OVERALL PROGRAM TWO
HUNDRED THIRTY TWO MILLION WHICH
IS NEAR IT NOT QUITE AT BUT NEAR
WHAT THE PROGRAM WAS IN ITS
FIRST YEAR OF OPERATION.
THE REASON THAT WE THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE FOCUSED IN ON
THIS PROGRAM IS THAT IT'S IN
SOME WAYS IT'S A MICROCOSM THAT
BRINGS OGETHER ALL OF THE
DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT WE ALL
TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
CLIMATE MITIGATION AND
RESILIENCE IT'S A A PROGRAM THAT
IS DONE AFTER COMMUNITY.
SCALE THAT BRINGS TOGETHER KEY
PRIORITIES OF FOCUS ON
INTEGRATING HOUSING
TRANSPORTATION GREEN SPACES AND
CLIMATE RESILIENCE.
IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES WITH
A BOTTOM UP APPROACH SO WE HEARD
IN THE AIR BE IN A LISTENING
TOUR LAST YEAR.
ON AYE PRIORITIES ACROSS THE
STATE FOR THE GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTION FIND HEARD OVER AND
OVER AGAIN THAT PEOPLE WANTED
COMMUNITY SCALE PROJECTS THEY
WANTED TO DECIDE.
WHAT MAKES THE MOST SENSE FOR
THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES THIS
PROGRAM DOES NOT IT'S A VERY
COMMUNITY SCALP PROGRAM?
WITH A SPECIFIC FOCUS.
ACROSS THE PROJECT.
IN ON EVERYONE OF THE PROJECT
HAS HOUSING TRANSPORTATION AND
OR GREEN SPACES -- INVOLVED IN
THERE'S A SPECIFIC FOCUSING
REDUCING THIS VEHICLE MILES
TRAVELED NUMBER THROUGH PROJECTS
AND INCORPORATE MOBILITY OPTIONS
INCLUDING WALKING BIKING AND
TRANSIT.
THAT IS CRITICAL AS A
DEMONSTRATION OF HOW YOU CAN DO
THAT AT THE LOCAL LEVEL AND WE
THINK VERY CLOSELY RELATED TO
THE LARGER HOUSING AGENDA THAT
THE STATE HAS HOW DO WE BUILD
HOUSING.
MORE SUSTAINABLY HOW DO WE DO
KIND OF GROSS LOOKING FORWARD.
TO TWENTY FIFTY ANOTHER BIG AREA
OF INCREASE ON IN THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET IS ON IS REALLY GETS TO
THIS EQUITY ISSUE BUT ALSO THE
TRANSPORTATION POINT I MADE
EARLIER IN A MEASURE.
ON ON EMISSIONS WHICH IS
DECREASING AIR POLLUTION AND V.
AND EMISSIONS FROM FOR THE
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR WITH THE
FOCUS ON TRANSPORTATION IN THE
INDUSTRIAL AGRICULTURAL SECTORS.
SO HERE WE HAVE THREE MAJOR
INCREASES ON ONE HI YOU WERE ALL
OF WHICH ARE AIMED AT HELPING
TRANSITION VEHICLES TO BE
CLEANER AND LESS POLLUTING. ONE
MAJOR ONE IS FIFTY MILLION
DOLLAR INCREASE AFTER THE CLEAN
TRUCKS BUSES AND OFFERED VEHICLE
PROGRAM THAT GOES DIRECTLY TO
THIS CONVERSATION WE HAVE IN THE
INLAND EMPIRE IN PARTICULAR.
AND CENTRAL VALLEY AROUND
FREIGHT EMISSIONS.
SECOND IS A SIXTY FIVE MILLION
INCREASE IN ENGINE UPGRADES
REPLACEMENT FOR AGRICULTURAL
VEHICLES THAT'S RIGHT AT THAT
INTERSECTION OF AGRICULTURE
TRANSPORTATION AND INDUSTRY.
IN AN AREA OF THE STATE WERE
POLLUTION STAYS IN THE AIR IN
LOCAL AREAS FOR MUCH LONGER AND
IN MANY OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE.
AND FINALLY FIFTEEN MILLION
INCREASE IN THE ENHANCE FLEET
MODERNIZATION PROGRAM WHICH I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS
THAT THE VEHICLE RETIREMENT AND
REPLACEMENT PROGRAM SO THIS IS A
REALLY IMPORTANT PIECE OF OUR
LARGER. ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE
STRATEGY.
THERE ARE TWENTY SIX MILLION
CARS ON THE ROAD IN CALIFORNIA
TWO MILLION OF THEM ARE OVER
TWENTY YEARS OLD.
THOSE ARE MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS TO
OUR SMOG BROUGHT THE STATE
PEOPLE WITH THOSE VEHICLES ARE
NOT HIGH INCOME PEOPLE THERE IS
A NEED FOR PROGRAMS THAT HELP
PEOPLE TRANSITION FROM.
THOSE TYPES OF VEHICLES TO NEWER
VEHICLES THAT ARE MUCH MORE
EFFICIENT THE PROGRAM GIVES
INCREASED INCENTIVES FOR
ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND REALLY
GETS US ON THAT ROAD TOWARD.
YOUR REMISSION IT ALSO GIVES I
SHOULD SAY INCREASE INCENTIVES
FOR LOW INCOME CONSUMERS.
AND A INCENTIVE FOR NOT BUYING
A NEW VEHICLE AT ALL PURCHASE
DISCREPANCY.
THE THIRD ON AREA OF INCREASE ON
THE ON THE LINE ITEMS IS IN THE
AGRICULTURAL SECTOR THIS AS YOU
KNOW IS A CRITICAL SECTOR TO
CALIFORNIA FIFTY MILLION FIFTY
BILLION SKEWS ME A YEAR TO THE
ECONOMY.
THE FOCUS HERE AGAIN IS ON
PROGRAMS IN THIS CRITICAL AREA
WHERE WE'RE SEEING.
KIND OF STEADY STATE ON
EMISSIONS WITH SOME REALLY
IMPORTANT DECREASES BUT ALSO
JUST INCREASES ON THE DIESEL
SIDE AS I SAID AN INCREASE IN
THAT AGRICULTURAL DIESEL PROGRAM
BUT ALSO. TO INCREASES THAT ARE
REALLY GET AT THE HEART OF
WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE SECTOR AND
FOR OUR CLMATE ONE OF THOSE IS --
INCREASE IN IN A FUNDING FOR
HEALTHY SOILS WHICH IS A REALLY
IMPORTANT PIECE OF HOW WE THINK
ABOUT THIS LONG TERM QUESTION OF
HOW DO WE ACTUALLY.
REMOVE CARPET FROM THE ERROR AS
WELL AS A STOPPING THE ADMITTING
AS MUCH OF IT -- ALSO AT TEN
MILLION INCREASE IN THE METHANE
REDUCTION PROGRAM.
IN ADDITION TO THESE SPECIFIC
ITEMS WHICH ARE ALL INCREASES IN
SPECIFIC AGENCY BUDGETS THERE
ARE TWO AREAS -- I'VE INCREASE
THAT OUR PRIORITIES FOR THE
GOVERNOR AND AND YOU SEE THESE
THOUGHT ONE OF THESE IN BOTH AND
BOTH JANUARY IN MAY AND ONE IS
IN ADDITION IN MAY.
THE FIRST IS A SIGNIFICANT
INCREASE IN PROVIDING WORKFORCE
TRAINING AND HIGH ROAD TRAINING
PARTNERSHIPS TO HELP IDENTIFY
AND SUPPORT.
HIGH QUALITY JOBS ACROSS EVERY
OTHER AREA OF GREENHOUSE GAS
FINING INVESTMENT.
THAT WILL BE NECESSARY TO GET TO
THESE EMISSIONS WE KNOW FROM
RESEARCH THAT'S BEEN DONE IN MY
COLLEAGUE TIM RAINY FROM THE
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD IS
HERE TO ANSWER I'M SURE WHAT
WILL BE QUESTIONS ON THIS
PROGRAM.
WE KNOW FROM WORK THAT THE BOARD
AND OTHERS HAVE DONE THAT THE
MAJORITY OF JOBS CREATED BY THE
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION FINDER
IN CONSTRUCTION.
WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE
CONSTRUCTION SECTOR SUFFERS FROM
A LACK OF QUALIFIED WORKERS TO
DO GREEN BUILDINGS BUILDING
UPGRADES INC AND OPERATING MADE.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE IN
HIGH QUALITY HIGH QUALITY GREEN
BUILDINGS.
WE ALSO KNOW THAT WHERE PEOPLE
WE SEE A LOSS OF EMISSIONS.
GAINES IT WHEN YOU PUT MONEY
INTO EFFICIENCY IT'S ALL WELL
AND GOOD IF YOU DON'T ADEQUATELY
MAINTAIN THOSE PROJECTS YOU LOSE
THE GAMES.
SO WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT.
THE WORK FORCE OF THE CARBON
NEUTRAL ECONOMY IS A CRITICAL
PIECE OF ACHIEVING THAT ECONOMY.
YOU'LL SEE IN THE BUDGET IN
INCREASED SPECIFICALLY AND MAY
OR AREAS OF THE STATE WHERE WE
NEED TO SEE A DIVERSIFICATION
AWAY FROM AYE AYE VERY HEAVY JOB
BASED IN THE FOSSIL FUEL
INDUSTRY SO WE CALLED UP KERN
COUNTY.
ON BECAUSE IT'S THE NUMBER ONE
BY FAR AN OIL AND GAS ON IN THE
STATE.
AND COUNTY IS ALREADY SEEING A
DECLINE IN OIL AND GAS JOBS
BECAUSE OF AUTOMATION.
ALSO SEEING A DECLINE BECAUSE OF
OTHER STATES HAVING A RAMP UP
I'M PARTICULARLY GAS.
AND ARE I'D CLIMATE POLICIES
OVER THE LONG TERM AS WELL AS
OTHER COUNTRIES AND STATES
CLIMATE POLICIES HAVE BEEN
ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE OIL AND GAS
SECTOR AS SOMETHING THAT WILL
AFFECT THE INDUSTRY.
SO WE PUT AN ADDITIONAL FUNDING
THERE FOR A TRANSITION STRATEGY
IN THOSE AREAS OF THE STATES
WHERE THERE'S HEAVY DEPENDENCE
ON ONE INDUSTRY -- THAT IS A
HIGH CARBON INDUSTRY
[inaudible]
IN ADDITION.
YOU'LL SEE A NEW OF FOCUS IN THE
MAPLE REVISE FOR ANOTHER PIECE
OF THE PUZZLE ON HOW DO WE GET
THERE HOW TO GET TO CARBON
NEUTRAL.
I'M AND THAT'S AT ONE POINT FIVE
MILLION A NEW -- ALLOCATION FOR
A STUDY THAT WILL PROVIDE A
ROADMAP OF HOW TO KERR
TRANSITION TO A CARBON NEUTRAL
ECONOMY BY TWENTY FIFTY WITH A
FOCUS WHICH IS UNUSUAL FOR THE
IS.
ON BOTH THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND
THE ECONOMIC FACTORS AND YOU'LL
SEE THAT WE'VE RECOMMENDED THAT
THE AGENCIES ACROSS THE BOARD
INCLUDING LABOR BE PART OF
SCOPING OUT THIS STUDY.
THE FOCUS WILL BE ON
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING OUR
FOSSIL FUEL DEMAND IN THE STATE
TO REACH THAT CARBON NEUTRALITY
GOAL BUT ALSO WILL CONSIDER HOW
THE STATE WILL MANAGE THAT
DECLINE IN FOSSIL FUEL.
SUPPLY THAT DECLINE FOSSIL FUEL
JOBS AND THE ECONOMIC IMPACT.
ON SOME OF WHICH IS AS THAT IS
ALREADY HAPPENING THROUGH
AUTOMATION AND MARKET FORCES BUT
WILL LIKELY BE ACCELERATED BY
THE TYPES OF POLICIES.
NOT ONLY CALIFORNIA BUT OTHER
STATES AND COUNTRIES ARE PUTTING
IN PLACE.
SO THAT IS THE HIGH LEVEL.
ANA THE GOVERNOR'S ON PROPOSED
BUDGET AND I KNOW YOU WILL HAVE
MANY QUESTIONS I REALLY WISH I
COULD BE HERE TO ANSWER THEM BUT
MY VENERABLE COLLEAGUES WHO WILL
BE HERE MENTAL ME FROM FINANCE
WILL BE HERE AND I KNOW THEIR
PEOPLE AND AND THE ROOM FROM ALL
OF THESE.
AGENCIES SO I WILL.
TURNING TO THEM THEY'RE MUCH
SMARTER THAN ME IN ANY CASE
THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THE
PRESENTATION.
LA -- DO YOU HAVE COMMENTS.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR ROSS
BROWN WITH THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE OF FOCUS MOST
OF MY COMMENTS ON KIND OF THE
BROADER FRAMEWORK REVENUE
PROJECTIONS AND KINDA YOU KNOW
THE NEW MONEY THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION IS PROJECT IN
WOULD BE AVAILABLE -- ON THE
SPENDING SIDE AS WE SAID BEFORE
I MEAN A LOT I THINK A LOT OF
THE MAJOR DECISIONS ARE AROUND.
JUST DIFFERENT PRIORITIES -- YOU
KNOW HOW THE LEGISLATURE
PRIORITY PRIORITISE IS A LOT OF
THE IFFERENT BENEFITS THAT
COULD BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE
DIFFERENT PROGRAMS WHETHER THEY
BE -- POLLUTION -- ADAPTATION --
RESEARCH THOSE ARE ALL ALL KIND
OF WERE THE GOALS AND NOBODY'S
PROGRAMS CAN ACHIEVE THOSE
THINGS IT'S A LARGE THE AMERICAN
HOW TO PRIORITIZE THOSE THINGS.
ON THE OVERALL FRAMEWORK IN THE
REVENUE I JUST SOME HIGH LEVEL
NUMBERS HERE THE ADMINISTRATION
RELATIVE TO THE JANUARY PROPOSAL
IS PROJECTING ABOUT SEVEN
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS MORE AN AUCTION REVENUE
OVER THE CURRENT YEAR IN THE
BUDGET YEAR.
AND SO SINCE 60% OF THAT IS
CONTINUOUSLY APPROPRIATED THAT
LEAVES ABOUT THREE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS MORE FOR
DISCRETIONARY SPENDING AND THE
ADMINISTRATION PROPOSES TO
ALLOCATE ABOUT TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION OF THAT THREE HUNDRED
MILLION.
IN GENERAL WE ARE REVENUE
ESTIMATES ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PARTICULARLY IN
THE BUDGET YEAR -- AND THE
PRIMARY DIFFERENCE I THINK
BETWEEN OUR ESTIMATES AND
THERE'S ARE IN THE CURRENT YEAR --
FOR THE AUCTION THAT JUST
OCCURRED YESTERDAY.
BASED ON KIND OF CURRENT MARKET
CONDITIONS WERE PROJECT IN --
REVENUE WOULD BE ROUGHLY --
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS
HIGHER THAN THE ADMINISTRATION
IS ASSUMING AND THAT'S ESTIMATES
AND SO THAT LEAVES AGAIN WITH
TAKING A CONTINUOUS
APPROPRIATIONS OFF ABOUT SIXTY
MILLION DOLLARS MORE.
FOR DISCRETIONARY SPENDING IN
THE CURRENT YEAR OR AND SHE'S IN
THE BUDGET OR IN FUTURE YEARS.
THERE'S A YOUNG AS WE TALKED
ABOUT.
MANY TIMES BEFORE THERE'S A LOT
OF UNCERTAINTY AROUND KIND OF
WHAT REVENUE IS GOING TO BE --
ANDS FOR THE MAY AUCTION THE ONE
THAT I JUST MENTIONED TO RESULTS
FROM THAT OPTION ARE EXPECTED TO
BE AVAILABLE NEXT.
WEDNESDAY -- AND SO WHEN WE GET
THAT INFORMATION WHEN IT'S
AVAILABLE WE'LL UPDATE THE
LEGISLATURE WITH WITH UPDATED
REVENUE ESTIMATES.
OKAY -- WE HAVE A CONTINUING
DISCUSSION ABOUT THE USE OF
FUNDS IN THE NINETEEN TWENTY
BUDGET -- FOR PROJECTS.
WHERE THE PROJECTS THAT MIGHT
NOT OF MEAT IS STRICT NEXUS
THAT'S REQUIRED UNDER A. B.?
THIRTY TWO IS IT STILL YOUR
OPINION THAT THE FUNDING
PROPOSAL WOULD -- IN NINETEEN
TWENTY SHOULD IT HERE TO THE
CONSTRAINTS OF AB THIRTY TWO
BECAUSE MUCH OF THIS MUCH SOME
OF THE PROJECT I OBJECTS AND
I'VE COMMENTED.
PUBLICLY ABOUT THE BEING STINGY
ABOUT.
A HEARING TO THE RULE OF LAW
THAT WERE THAT WERE BOUND TO IN
THE NINETEEN TWENTY FISCAL YEAR.
I MEAN I I THINK IT'S IT'S A
LEGAL QUESTION WHERE THERE IS
SOME UNCERTAINTY AROUND KIND OF
WHAT IT IS YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF
THE RESTRICTIONS ARE ON THE
FUNDS NOW I KNOW.
LET'S COUNCIL IS GONNA HAS
WEIGHED IN ON THIS AND AND
THINKS THAT THE FUNDS NEED TO BE
SPENT ON ON A. B. THIRTY TWO
RATED ACTIVITIES AND GREENHOUSE
GAS REDUCTIONS I THINK.
WITH THAT SAID THERE STILL.
A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY -- SO I I
THINK IN THE END OUR ADVICE TO
YOU I THINK IT'S JUST KIND OF
YOU KNOW TAKING THAT RISK INTO
CONSIDERATION WHEN KIND OF
MAKING THOSE ALLOCATIONS I DON'T
THINK THERE'S SORT OF A A CLEAR
ANSWER ON WHAT EXACTLY THE
RESTRICTIONS ARE BUT I THINK
THERE IS.
SOME.
SOME LEGAL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH
SPENDING THE MONEY ON ACTIVITIES
THAT DON'T DIRECTLY REDUCE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.
VERY GOOD ALRIGHT LET'S OPEN THE
PUBLIC HEARING I'M SURE WE HAVE
A MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC -- THAT
WOULD LIKE -- TO COMMENT ON
ISSUE NUMBER SIXTEEN ACHIEVING
CARBON NEUTRAL ECONOMY BUT THE
CAP AND TRADE THE MAY REVISE.
WE HAVE THE SENATE VERSION WE
HAVE THE GOVERNOR'S VERSION.
AND I'M SURE SEVEN THREE OVER
THE ASSEMBLY HAS THEIR OWN
VERSION.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR -- I
GUESS I GET TO GO FIRST NOT
ROBINSON ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA TRANSIT ASSOCIATION.
AND SOME OF OUR MEMBER AGENCIES --
WHILE WE THINK THERE COULD
ALWAYS BE MORE FUNDING DIRECTED
TO THE HEAVY DUTY PROGRAMS WE DO
APPRECIATE THE GOVERNOR'S MAY
REVISION -- WHICH WOULD INCREASE
THE JANUARY AMOUNT BY FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS -- THAT BUSES
CLEAN BUSES HAVE ACCESS TO I
THINK IS IT'S NOT LOST ON THIS
BODY WE ARE NOW UNDER A
REGULATORY MANDATE BY THE AIR
RESOURCES BOARD IS TO START
ELECTRIC ELECTRIFYING OUR FLEETS --
IN THE COMING YEARS AND SO THIS
FUNDING HELPS AGENCIES GET AN
EARLY START ON THAT.
ON THAT PROGRESS THANK YOU AND

NOTHING THE STATE CAN DO THAT'S
MORE IMPORTANT THAN PREPARING
OUR COMMUNITIES FOR CLIMATE

CALIFORNIA THAT'S PREPARED FOR
CLIMATE CHANGE OUR MOST
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES ARE RIGHT
FOR FLOODING AND HEAT THAT
HASN'T.
HAPPENED TO THE EXTENT THAT IT
WILL.
BUT WE'VE SEEN WHAT HAPPENED IN
THE FOREST -- WITH THESE
WILDFIRES BECAUSE WE WEREN'T
PREPARED -- FOR YOU KNOW WHAT WE
KNEW WAS COMING DR DROUGHT --
MORE EXPOSURE TO THE THE RISK OF
WILDFIRE THE SAME THING HAPPENS
IN OUR URBAN VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES -- IN A WHILE
TORNADOES AND HURRICANES GET ALL
THE HEADLINES IT'S HEATING
FLOODING THAT KILLED MORE PEOPLE
IN THE U. S. THAN ANY OTHER
WEATHER RELATED EVENT.
AND THE URBAN FORESTRY IN A ROOM --
GREEN PROGRAMS ARE EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT THEY ARE MEDICAID OR
IS BUT THEY ALSO HELPED OUT

BOTH PROGRAMS TO DERRY DIE
JESTER PROGRAM AND THE
ALTERNATIVE MANURE MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM I CAN SAY THIS IF
FUNDING IS LIMITED ONLY TO THE
AND PROGRAM WE WILL NOT GET
ANYWHERE NEAR THE LEVEL OF
PRODUCTION THE STATE IS LOOKING.
FOR THAT PROGRAM IS FAR LESS
COST EFFECTIVE THAN THE
DIGESTIVE PROGRAM AND DOES NOT
PROVIDE.
THE CO BENEFITS THAT WE GET FROM
THE DIGEST TO PROGRAM THE DIE
JESTER PROGRAM PROVIDES
SIGNIFICANT.
NOTHING REDUCTIONS AS WELL AS
KNOCKS ANOTHER CRITERIA
POLLUTANT REDUCTIONS THAT'S BEEN
WELL DOCUMENTED BY THE AIR
RESOURCES BOARD.
SO WE'RE VERY TROUBLED IF THIS

SOUGHT BY.

REDUCTION COMPONENT FOR FOR
LIVESTOCK IS ONE OF THE ONLY ON
ONCE IT'S UNDER A MANDATE -- BY
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA -- AND
YOU KNOW WHEN WHEN THIRTEEN
EIGHTY THREE WAS WRITTEN -- IT
IT IS VERY CLEAR IN THERE THAT
THAT PUBLIC FINANCING
SPECIFICALLY THROUGH THE G. R.
PROGRAM HAS TO BE A KEY
COMPONENT OF THIS SO --
APPRECIATE THE WORK THIS
COMMITTEES DOING IN THE FORD
CONTINUING THAT WORK THANK YOU
[inaudible]
THANKS.
MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE LOUIS BROWN WERE IN A
COUPLE DIFFERENT HAS TODAY WANT
TO START WITH THE CALIFORNIA
ADVANCED BIO FUELS ALLIANCE IN
RECOGNITION OF THE TWENTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS.
FOR LOW CARBON PRODUCTION FUELS
A WE HAVE A GROWING RENEWABLE
DIESEL IN BIODIESEL INDUSTRY IN
THE STATE I YET THESE MONIES OF
THE ENERGY COMMISSION REALLY
REALLY HELP WITH WILL NEED
INFRASTRUCTURE AND OTHER
ELEMENTS THAT HELP GET THOSE
FUELS.
FROM PRODUCTION TO ACTUAL RETAIL --
AND CONSUMPTION WHICH THEN
LOWERS OUR CLIMATE ARE HELPS OUR
CLIMATE CHANGE GOALS IN THE
STATE.
AS IT RELATES TO THE THE
AGRICULTURAL FUNDS.
IN AGREEMENT WITH A LOT OF
THAT'S ALREADY BEEN SAID
APPRECIATE THE NINETY MILLION
DOLLARS PUT TOWARDS THE FARMER
PROGRAM.
THAT THE AIR BE CREATED IN ORDER
TO REDUCE THOSE EMISSIONS IN THE
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AND EVERYONE
THERE AND EVERYWHERE ELSE AS
RELATES THAT EQUIPMENT.
THIS COMMITTEE IS FOCUSED ON AN
IS TALKED ABOUT THE NEED FOR
METRICS AND THE NEED FOR CLEAR
RESULTS OVER THE YEARS.
REALLY NO OTHER PROGRAMS LIKE
THE FORMER PROGRAM AND THE
METHANE REDUCTION PROGRAM THAT
CAN SHOW YOU THE METRICS.
YOU CAN SHOW YOU THE RESULTS
FROM THE DOLLARS INVESTED.
AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID IT
KIND OF DRIVES THE QUESTION AS
TO WHY WHEN IT COMES TO THE
METHANE REDUCTION PROGRAM WE
WOULD ONLY SINGLE OUT ONE
TECHNOLOGY.
WE DON'T DO THAT ANYWHERE ELSE
BUT THEY ARE BE WE ALLOW THEM TO
GROUND.
PICK THE BEST TECHNOLOGY TO GET
THE BEST RESULTS WITH THOSE
MONIES YET IN THIS PROPOSAL
WE'RE TELLING CDFA.
WE'RE GONNA TIE YOUR HANDS IN
ONLY GO THROUGH AND FIND ONE
TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THE RESULTS
THAT WERE SPEAKING WITH THESE
FUNDS IT WOULD SEEM TO MAKE
SENSE TO ALLOW CFA TO MAKE THOSE
DECISIONS COME BACK AND SHOW YOU
THE RESULTS.
THAT'S HOW THEY GET THOSE WITH
THOSE MONEY SO WE ASK THAT YOU
DELINK THAT AS YOU MOVE FORWARD
THANK YOU.

LANDS.

HEARING BRING IT BACK TO THE
DAIS.
CLEARLY THE SENATE PROPOSAL
LACKS CONTROVERSY.
NO JUST KIDDING [inaudible]
SENATE MCGUIRE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MISTER CHAIR.
THIS ONE A FOCUS ON A COUPLE OF
ITEMS HERE IN IN FIRST AND
FOREMOST IS ON THAT METHANE
REDUCTION.
I GLAD THAT THE THIRTY FIVE
MILLION IS BACK.
IN.
ON THE ALTERNATE MINIMUM IN AND
IN YOUR MANAGEMENT PROGRAM THIS
REALLY CAN HELP THOSE SMALLER
DAIRIES.
WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE THOSE
DIE GESTURES THROUGH THE HELP
ARE GONNA BE LOS LARGER DAIRIES.
IN WHAT WE ALSO KNOW IS AT FOUR
HUNDRED FOURTEEN MILLION DOLLARS
HAS BEEN IVESTED BY THE STATE
OVER TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS.
INVESTED IN PRIVATE FINDS BE
ABLE TO MATCH THAT.
THE LAST TWO YEARS HAS BEEN
NINETY NINE MILLION INVESTED
WITHIN A BOTH MANURE MANAGEMENT
AS WELL AS THEIR DIE JESTERS.
WE KNOW THAT IT IS ALSO ONE OF
THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE TOOLS
THAT WE HAVE.
WHEN IT COMES REDUCING THAT THAT
CARBON FOOTPRINT?
IN WHAT THE CONCERN THAT I HAVE
AS WE MOVE FORWARD IS IT WE HAVE
A MANDATE ON INDUSTRY THAT.
GENERATES ABOUT 8% OF OUR TOTAL
FOOTPRINT.
I EN DID NOW HANDICAPPING ON
ONLY ALLOW ONE ON ONE AREA IN
THIS MANNER MANAGEMENT
[inaudible]
SO I AND WE HAVE YOUR BOX I'M
GRATEFUL THAT WE'VE.
OR AT THE THIRTY FIVE BUT ON
THIS PROGRAM IS ALREADY OVER
PRESCRIBED -- EXCUSE ME
OVERSUBSCRIBED.
COMPARED TO WHERE WE REALLY
SHOULD BE SO I HAVE SOME
CONCERNS AND UNDERSTAND IS GONNA
NEED TO BE ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION.
HERE -- AS THIS MAKES IT WAY TO
THE LARGER COMMITTEE -- AGAIN I
THINK THE THE BOTTOM LINE IS.
WE HAVE PUT A MANDATE.
UNDERSTANDABLY SO.
ON TO BE ABLE TO REDUCE.
THOSE SHORT LIVED CLIMATE
POLLUTANTS.
AND I PRIOR TO ACTUALLY ROLLING
OUT WHAT THAT REDUCTION PLANS
GOING TO BE OR CUTTING BACK THE
FUNDING.
AND NOT PUTTING THE FLEXIBILITY
AS WE TRADITIONALLY HAD OVER THE
LAST THREE YEARS THE FIRST YEAR
WE HAD FIFTY MILLION THE LAST.
TWO EIGHT NINETY NINE THE STILL
HAS.
REAL CONCERNS -- IN REGARDS TO
THAT.
IN I THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO
NEED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE.
GREATER DISCUSSION BUT WITHIN
BUDGET SUB.
THE OTHER ITEM I WILL SAY IS
ALSO.
HAPPENED WILL SEE THE EREKLE TO
DIESEL ENGINE REPLACEMENT AND
UPGRADE PROGRAM BACK IN THE
NINETY MILLION.
IS THAT IS CRITICAL TO BE ABLE
TO MEET THE NEEDS PARTICULARLY
IN RURAL AND AGRICULTURAL
CALIFORNIA.
IS WELL SO I JUST APPRECIATE
THAT JUST WANTED TO COMMENT ON
THE METHANE REDUCTION SIMPLY
BECAUSE I THINK THAT WE ARE --
SURELY MANY CONSTRAINTS UNDER
THAT PROGRAM THERE'S STILL MORE
WORK TO COME.
THANK CHAIRMAN I JUST WANT -- TO
SHARE THOSE CONCERNS AS WELL.
ALTHOUGH I DON'T HAVE IT IN MY
DISTRICT I DON'T THINK I MEAN
LARGE JERRY'S BUT I DO HAVE
SEVERAL SMALLER A SPECIALTY

OF UP TO SPEED A LITTLE BIT ON
THE INDUSTRY.
THE LARGE DIE GESTURES SEEM TO
BE AN IMPORTANT ASPECT TO ME I
AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE DROP
FROM -- YOU KNOW NEARLY A
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS OVER THE
LAST TWO YEARS -- TO YOU KNOW
THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS THIS
YEAR MY UNDERSTANDING IS THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL DOES NOT
