TO PEOPLE PARTICULARLY PEOPLE
WHO.
DIDN'T THINK THEY COULD SERVE IN

OF THE THREE OVER THREE THOUSAND
PEOPLE TO FULL TIME POSITIONS ON

TWENTY MINUTES AGO AND AND NOW
SIGNING UP FOR ANOTHER.
IN IS PART OF YEAR.
REST OF RESUME IN SERVICE TO
CALIFORNIA I WAS LIKE TO FOCUS
ON FORMER LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
ACTING LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR THAT
WAS ONE OF THE OFFICES YOU HELD --
WE HAD A GOOD CONVERSATION
YESTERDAY.
I JUST THOUGHT I WOULD ASK CAME
IN OPEN QUESTION OF WHAT YOU SEE
SOME OF THE CHALLENGES BEING
MOVING INTO THIS POSITION IN.
ANY PERSONAL GOALS OR OBJECTIVES
SHE MIGHT HAVE GIVEN WHAT YOU'VE
LEARNED ABOUT THE STATE OF THE
PERSONAL BOARD JUST IN A FEW
MONTHS THAT I'VE BEEN THERE WERE
YOU KNOW WE I'VE SEEN SOME
TRENDS IN SOME OF THE CASES THAT
HAVE COME BEFORE US.
AN OF RESPECTFULLY I THINK THAT
ALL OF UR DEPARTMENTS AND
AGENCIES I THINK ALL OF US NEED
TO REFRESH ON POLICY AND
PROCEDURES BECAUSE WHEN YOU
NOTICE THE SAME TYPES OF
MISTAKES WHEN IT COMES.
TO DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS YOU KNOW
IT IT IT JUST IT MEANS THAT YES
WE NEED TO HEAR THESE CASES BUT
WE ALSO WHAT I NEED AS A BOARD
NEEDS SUPPORT.
SB STAFF TO GO TO THESE
DEPARTMENTS TALK TO THE
DIRECTORS THE HR DIRECTORS BUT
THE THE SECRETARIES AS WELL AS
THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. TO SAY
YOU KNOW THERE.
LET'S REFRESH AND I THINK THAT
THAT'S AN ON GOING LIFE
CHALLENGE BUT I DO I DO SEE THAT
IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE
DONE I REALLY.
I ALSO WANT.
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A LOT OF
DIFFERENT AVENUES FOR RECRUITING
RECRUITING SHOULDN'T BE JUST
TAKING.
THE TEST ONLINE IT SHOULD BE AS
MANY DEPARTMENTS IN A LOT OF
AGENCIES ARE DOING GOING OUT TO
THE COMMUNITY AND ENCOURAGING
PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT HOW THEY
CAN.
YOU KNOW BE AT NEXT GEN OF
LEADERS AND STATE SERVICE.
SO THAT TAKES A LOT OF
COMMUNICATION WORK I KNOW IT'S
HARD BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE
BUY IN FROM THE LEADERSHIP.
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
AND I THINK THAT OUT REACH TIES
IN TO THE SHARE WITH ME THIS
STATISTIC OF HOW MANY PEOPLE
WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR RETIREMENT
A HIGH PERCENTAGE AND FORTY FIVE
YEARS AND I'M ONE OF ALL.
RIGHT.
SO IN THAT DOES REQUIRE
CONSCIOUS.
INTENTIONAL THAT REACH TO TO
RECRUIT THAT NEXT GENERATION
RIGHT AND AND AND AND
INFORMATION TRANSFER RIGHT SO
HOW DO YOU BRING ON PEOPLE NOW
BEFORE THE THIS MASS EXODUS OF
RETIREES.
AND I THINK WE REALLY SHOULD
CONTINUE TO THINK ABOUT THAT I
THINK THE STAFF IS DOING A GREAT
JOB ABOUT THINKING OUTSIDE OF
THE BOX.
I THINK WE JUST NEED TO KEEP
HAVING CONVERSATIONS ESPECIALLY
WITH YOUR CONSTITUENTS TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE'RE YOU KNOW WE'RE
ADDRESSING IN WOMEN'S ISSUES.

SOME OF THEM ARE ON WATCHING IT
ONLINE FOR ALL THE WORK THAT
THEY DO TO KEEP THE AGENCY GOING.
I WILL I JUST WANTED START WITH
MY FIRST DAY AT HER WHEN I WAS
IT.
GOING THROUGH MY OFFICE OPENED
UP A BOOK CASE SENATE AND IN THE
BOOKCASE WAS A BINDER.
ABOUT FOUR INCHES THICK I OPEN
IT UP AND IT WAS A SET OF
DECISIONS BY MARTY MORGANSTERN
WHO SERVED ON THE POR PER BOARD
IN NINETEEN IN THE EIGHTIES.
AND IT OCCURRED TO ME IN THAT
MOMENT -- AND AS I SAID BEFORE
YOU IS THAT THERE'S A LONG
LEGACY OF QUALITY INDIVIDUALS
HAVE SAT IN THE SEAT IN PR.
AND I HOPE TO MAINTAIN AND AND
CONTINUE THE WORK THAT THEY'VE
DONE.
NOT ONLY FOR ON BEHALF OF THE
EMPLOYEES WITH THE EMPLOYERS IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
WITH THAT I HOPE I CAN MEET UP
WITH YOUR APPROVAL AND I'M OPEN
ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I MISTER
MONNING.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
AND I ALSO WANT TO CONGRATULATE
YOU ON THE APPOINTMENT IN. FOR
YOUR YEARS OF SERVICE FROM
FRONTLINE FIREFIGHTER.
TO REPRESENTING FIREFIGHTERS --
IN YOU BRING A LOT OF FIELD
EXPERIENCE SOME AND JUST BASIC
CARING AND COMPASSION TO THE
POSITION SO I CONGRATULATE YOU
AND THANK YOU WE HAD A GOOD
CONVERSATION -- JUST.
IN LOOKING AT WHAT YOU'RE MOVING
INTO ONE OF THE CONCERNS HAS
BEEN CASE LOG -- BACKLOG OF
CASES.
WHICH YEAR PERCEPTION OF THAT
CURRENT BACKLOG IN WHAT CAN BE
DONE TO MOVE THINGS FORWARD MORE
EXPEDITIOUSLY -- THANK YOU AND
AND OBVIOUSLY THAT'S A FRIEND OF
MINE FROM EVERYBODY AND I I CAN
TELL YOU IT WAS WHEN I WAS ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TABLE
ASKING FOR MORE MONEY FOR PER
BURNED AND KIND OF YELLING
SCREAMING WHY ARE THEY MOVING
CASES MORE -- SO IT'S SOMETHING
THAT I'M VERY AWARE OF GOING IN
THIS POSITION I APPRECIATE ALL
THE SUPPORT THE LEGISLATURE AND
THE GOVERNOR OF GETTING GIVEN ON
THE BUDGET -- THAT'S BEEN ABLE --
TO PROVIDERS MORE ATTORNEYS AT
EVERY LEVEL MORE MORE BORDER
VISORS -- I THINK -- THE BIG
CHALLENGE THAT WE FIND ON THE
CASELOAD IS IT'S JUST NOT
NECESSARY THE NUMBERS BUT THE
DYNAMICS OF THE NUMBERS SOME OF
THE CASES ARE VERY EASY TO
PROCESS THROUGH SOME OF THEM
TAKE A LONG TIME TO DO BECAUSE
YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT TO GET IT
RIGHT IT'S GOING. TO TAKE SOME
TIME TO DO IT AND SO EACH SIDE
OF THE THE THE COIN WHETHER
INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEE O THE
EMPLOYER OR THE UNIONS ITSELF.
NEED TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO TO
GET A FAIR STRONG DELIVERED OF
DECISION SOME OF THAT TAKES SOME
TIME SO REALLY IT.
IT AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE
NUMBERS IT'S BEEN ONE OF THE
BIGGEST NUMBERS FOR PROBABLY
MOVE CASES THROUGH THIS YEAR --
THE BACKLOG IN THE FORTIES BUT
IT REALLY IS A QUESTION OF
RESOURCES AND IN EVERY SORT
ENOUGH RESOURCES SO WE CAN
PROCESS THE CASES.
I THINK ONE THING YOU ALSO
SHARED IS.
NOT ALL CASES REQUIRE SOME
DEMAND A LOT MORE -- RESOURCES
IN TIME IS THAT ACCURATE YEAH I
I THINK AND THE EXAMPLE USE NOT
TO GIVE ANY DETAILS AS WELL WELL
I'VE BEEN PERSON WORKING ON A
CASE -- SINCE MARCH -- AND WE'RE
NOT CLOSE TO ANY FINAL
DETERMINATION THEY UNDERSTAND
IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION
ON BOTH SIDES.
AND IN THE PROBABLY UP ON APPEAL
SO YOU WANT TO GET THE RECORD
CORRECT AN IN DEPTH BECAUSE IT'S
GOING TO GO UP ON APPEAL AND BE
TAKING A LOOK AT SO YOU KNOW WE
COULD WE COULD COME TO A
DECISION A LOT FASTER.
BUT IT WOULDN'T BE FAIR TO ANY
PARTIES AS THEY MOVE THROUGH THE
PROCESS AND I THINK ONE THING I
FOUND IMPRESSIVE THAN YOU MIGHT
SHARE WITH THE COMMITTEES.
THE LOW PERCENTAGE OF CASES THAT
HAVE BEEN REVERSED ON APPEAL
WHICH I THINK'S STRONGLY TO THE
INTEGRITY OF THE DECISION MAKING
PROCESS OF PER.
YEAH I THINK -- A IN A AGAIN IT
DOESN'T NECESSARY COME TO THE
LIGHT ABOUT THE CASES THAT HAVE
BEEN.
APPEALED -- WE HAVE A 97% TRACK
RECORD IN THE COURTS OF REALLY
ESPECIALLY RECENTLY LOOKED AT
AND SAY THAT WE ARE THE EXPERTS
ON THE SUBJECT MATTER WHEN IT
GETS UP ON APPEAL SO.
IT JUST GOES BACK TO THE ISSUE
OF THAT THE THE ALL THE BOARD
MEMBERS AND ALL THE STAFF A
PERVERT TAKE A JOB SERIOUS IN
AND WANT TO DO IT.
STRONG DELIVERS PROCESS BEFORE
THEY MAKE A DECISION IT'LL
THINKING AGAIN.
CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU
FOR YOUR CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO
SERVICE PRECIADO THANK YOU MADAM
