WE ARE GOING TO WELCOME THE

PLEASE COME FORWARD.
WE ARE GRATEFUL THAT ASSEMBLY
WOMAN RAISES HERE SOMEONE REYES

TWO THIRTEEN TWO THIRTEEN WHICH
IS FOCUSED ON LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
FINANCE.
DELIVER THE FLOOR IS YOURS IS
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
THANK YOU IT'S GREAT TO BE HERE.
THANK YOU CHAIR AND MEMBERS.
AB TWO THIRTEEN IS A MEASURE
BUILT ON FAIRNESS THAT WOULD
RESTORE REVENUES THAT PREVIOUSLY
WERE ALLOCATED TO CITIES THAT
ANNEXED INHABITED TERRITORIES.
AVENUES THAT WERE TAKEN AWAY.
BY THE PASSAGE OF SB EIGHTY NINE
AND TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN IN TWO
THOUSAND ELEVEN SB EIGHTY NINE A
PREVIOUS BUDGET TRAILER TRAILER
BILL WAS PASSED DURING STATE
BUDGET DIFFICULTIES.
THIS LEGISLATION IN EFFECT TOOK
AWAY TWO HUNDRED MILLION.
ANNUALLY IN VEHICLE LICENSE FEE
REVENUES FROM CITIES ACROSS THE
STATE.
AS A PART OF THIS CHANGE MANY OF
THESE AFFECTED.
MANY OF THOSE AFFECTED WERE
NEWLY INCORPORATED AREAS AND
CITIES WHO HAD ANNEXED.
NEW TERRITORIES THIS CALLS LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO ULTIMATELY LOSE
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
ANNUALLY IN REVENUE.
THERE ARE OVER ONE HUNDRED AND
FORTY CITIES.
THAT HAVE ANNEXED WHO HAVE LOST
REVENUE DUE TO THIS TWO THOUSAND
ELEVEN LEGISLATION.
CITIES INCLUDE THE CITY OF
FONTANA IN MY DISTRICT.
WHICH LOSES APPROXIMATELY SEVEN
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
ANNUALLY. FOR ANNEXING CITIES
MANY OF WHICH ARE CURRENTLY CASH
STRAPPED TO THE LOSS OF THIS
CRITICAL SOURCE OF FUNDING HURTS
THE RESIDENTS.
CITIES PUT IN THIS POSITION
OFTEN MUST CUT CRITICAL SERVICES
SUCH S INVESTING AND LOCAL
INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SAFETY.
IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE FOR WHAT
MANY CONSIDER TO BE AN
INCOMPLETE BUDGET.
ANOTHER PRACTICAL EFFECT OF
CURRENT LAW IS THE REDUCTION OF
INTEREST IN ANNEXATION.
GIVEN LIMITATIONS REGARDING NEW
REVENUE THE CITIES ARE NO LONGER
ABLE TO OBTAIN.
THE REVENUE AS A RESULT OF SB
EIGHTY NINE THE CITY IS NOW ARM
LESS LIKELY. TO ANNEX BECAUSE
THIS IS SUCH A BURDEN SOME
EFFORT.
WE DON'T GIVE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
THE TOOLS NECESSARY TO MEET THE
NEEDS OF THEIR RESIDENTS WE ARE
ACTIVELY CREATING A DISINCENTIVE
FOR ANNEXATION.
WEMUST EMPOWER OUR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS.
WE REVIEW INDIVIDUALS TO TESTIFY
BEFORE THE COMMITTEE TODAY.
MY JOINT AUTHOR IS IN ANOTHER
COMMITTEE SO SHE ASKED THAT I
SENT -- HER REGARDS ASSEMBLY
MEMBER CHRISTY SMITH WHO HAS
SOME CITIES ALSO OF WHO ARE
LOSING THE REVENUE BECAUSE OF
THE OF THIS BILL -- BUT WITH US
TODAY OR DAN CARRIED WITH THE
LEAGUE OF CITIES AND A
REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE CITY OF
FONTANA.
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU GENTLEMAN
YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES EACH WE
WELCOME YOU TO COMMITTEE WE WANT
TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE SUMMER
WOMAN OF COURSE TO MISS SMITH IS
WELL FOR ALL THE WORK ON THIS
BILL.
SCARED FOR SOURCE OR TWO MINUTES
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS SAID DAN CARRIED ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA CITIES.
THIS BILL IN THE AUTHOR'S
STATEMENT -- WAS QUITE A
COMPREHENSIVE IN TERMS OF
COVERING THE ISSUES BUT REALLY
DEALS WITH TWO THINGS ONE IT'S
ADDRESSING AN INEQUITY -- AND
THE SECONDIS REESTABLISHING
WHAT IS -- WHAT WE PREFER
PREVIOUSLY HAD BEEN GOOD POLICY --
IN THIS STATE A LOT OF IT FORMED
BY THIS COMMITTEE IN THE PAST
RELATED TO ANNEXATION ABOUT HOW
TO HOW TO DEAL WITH GROWTH GOING
FORWARD.
SO IN TERMS OF THE INEQUITY ON
IS THE AUTHOR SAID -- THERE WERE
A A MANY COMMUNITIES THAT -- IN
ORDER OPINION HAD GONE OUT AND
DONE THE RIGHT THING THEY HAD A
BROUGHT IN -- IN -- IN ANNEXED
INHABITED AREAS OFTEN THESE
AREAS -- MAYBE HAVE -- THEIR
COUNTY ON A CORPORATE OR IS THEY
MIGHT HAVE LESS -- ADEQUATE
INFRASTRUCTURE -- IN SERVICES
AND SO BY BRINGING THESE
COMMUNITIES -- INTO THE CITY AND
SERVING THEM THAT THE CITY WOULD
BE TAKING ON ADDITIONAL SERVICE
RESPONSIBILITIES BUT ALSO
PROVIDING HAVE SERVICES TO THE
RESIDENT.
THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH LOTS OF
CORE OF OTHER POLICIES A STATUS
VOTERS ON RELATED TO TRYING TO
IMPROVE OUR WATER QUALITY OF
SERVICES TO UNINCORPORATED AREAS
DEALING WITH THE ISSUES WITH
DISADVANTAGED ON A CORPORATE
REYES X. ULTRA.
SO THOSE CITIES ONE OUT IN OUR
OPINION DID THE RIGHT POLICY
THING BY BY BRINGING IN IN
SERVING THESE AREAS AND IN IN
PART OF THE WAY THOSE PENCIL OUT
WAS IN RELIANCE UPON THESE
REVENUES THAT THAT EXISTED.
SO -- AS THE AUTHOR SAID A BILL
WENT THROUGH NO HEARINGS NOTHING --
WIPED OUT THOSE THOSE FUNDS AND
SOME OF OF OUR CITIES FONTANA
AND OTHERS LOST A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT OF MONEY OF THAT THAT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE THERE TO SERVE
THOSE COMMUNITIES.
I WOULD JUST POINT OUT ANOTHER
CITY THAT IS -- WOULD
SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED WAS THE
CITY OF CHICO -- WHICH IT HAD IT
HAD A LOT OF UNINCORPORATED
ISLANDS WITHIN THE CITY AND I
THINK IN THE PAST WAS ACTUALLY
ARE ECOGNIZED AND PRAISED.
FOR WORKING WITH LASKO IN AND
BRING IN A LOT OF THESE ISLANDS
AND AS YOU ALL KNOW -- CHICO'S
BASICALLY THE BASE CAMP FOR THE
THE RIGHT REBUILDING OF PARADISE
AND IS IN CURRENT A LOT OF
ADDITIONAL A COST ASSOCIATED
WITH SO THE THE IF THE FIXING
THIS INEQUITY IS IS A IS A GOOD
GOOD THING IT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
I WOULD ALSO POINT OUT THAT THE
LEGISLATURE ALSO FIXED -- THERE
WERE FOUR INCORPORATED CITIES
THAT ALSO HAD BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY
HARM THE LEGISLATURE FIX THAT
ISSUE TWO YEARS AGO THIS IS THE
SAME FIX.
I ENDED UP FOR FOR THE CITY'S AT
ANNEX THE SECOND THING I WOULD
SAY IS ON ON ON ON YES I KNOW
I'M RIGHT NEAR THE EDGE THERE
MISTER CHAIR.
ON THE RE ESTABLISHING GOOD
POLICY GOING FORWARD WE ALL KNOW
THE STATE IS GOING TO GROW WE
ALL KNOW THAT -- IT'S IMPORTANT
THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF GROWTH
POLICIES THAT THE STATE WANTS TO
OUR PROMOTE THAT TRIES TO A
CONCENTRATE GROWTH IN IN IN IN
DENSITIES IN IN URBAN AREAS
THERE'S ALL SORTS OF REASONS FOR
THAT.
REESTABLISHING OUR ANNEXATION
INCENTIVES GOING FORWARD WE
THINK IS ALSO GOOD POLICY THANK

WEEK AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
ANNEXATIONS AND SENATOR HER
TITLE BROUGHT UP.
AS DID SENATOR MORE LOCK THE
LACK OF A FINANCIAL INCENTIVE
FOR CITIES TO ANNEX TERRITORY.
AND A SENSE THIS AND FINANCIAL
INCENTIVE WAS TAKEN AWAY LAUGH
BECAUSE OF ACTUALLY SEEN A
SUBSTANTIAL DECREASE AT ABOUT
HALF THEIR PROCESSING ABOUT HALF
OF THE ANNEXATIONS THAT THEY USE --
TO IT'S CRITICAL TO THE ORDERLY
GROWTH AND LOGICAL BOUNDARIES
AND THE EFFICIENT PROVISION OF
LOCAL SERVICES.
COLUSA DID AN ANNEXATION DUE TO
WATER CONCERNS THE WHICH BECAUSE
THE CITY OF COLUSA SOMEA
REVENUE SHORTAGES.
AND ANOTHER EXAMPLE SINCE TWO
THOUSAND ELEVEN CONTRA COSTA
LEFT APROVED EIGHT INHABITED
ANNEXATIONS ONE WAS AN
UNINCORPORATED ISLAND CONSIDERED
A DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY WITH
ALL OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES
RELATED TO THOSE DISADVANTAGED

THE THREE BACK TO COMMITTEE FOR
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
MISTER BELIN MR MEISTER -- JUSTO
SO WE'RE WE'RE THIS IS -- THE
BILL THAT WOULD -- TAKE MONEY
FROM THE E. RAF.
THE PROPERTY TAX.
AND AND IT BE BACK FILLED BY THE
GENERAL FUND IS THAT CORRECT.
YES SENATOR OF IT'S IT'S THE
SAME EXACT FORMULA THAT WAS USED
OF FOR THE FOUR INCORPORATED
CITIES -- IT YES IT WOULD IT
WOULD -- AS THE CHAIR AS THE
AUTHOR MENTIONED -- THERE WERE
TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
TAKEN AWAY FROM A FROM CITIES --
IN THIS THE THE I THINK THE COST
OF THIS BILL IN THE ASSEMBLY WAS
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS TO FIX IT.
AND THERE THE OTHER OTHER CITIES
THERE'D BE ON OUT THAT ARE.
IN THE SAME BOAT THAT WE KNOW OF
OR WOULD THEY BE MORE CITIES.
THE ON OUT OF THERE ARE
APPROXIMATELY ONE HUNDRED FORTY
CITIES THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
THAT WILL BE AFFECTED THAT HAVE
BEEN AFFECTED BY.
BY THIS AND WILL THIS WILL
REMEDY.
THOUGH SOMEWHAT HELPFUL.
ABSOLUTELY WOULD HELP ALL OF THE
ROOMS WORRISOME OKAY IT DIDN'T
INCREASES WAS REMINDED US SAN
JOSE THE CITY OF SAN JOSE I
BELIEVE TO THE SAME THING AN
EXTRA NUMBER OF VIOLENCE AND I
THINK THE IT WAS FOR AROUND.
FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS A
YEAR SOME THEY LOST WHEN SB
EIGHTY NINE WENT THROUGH SO THAT
THAT WOULD BE RESTORED GOING
FORWARD TO THAT SAN JOSE CA.
LIKE -- THIS IS HE WRAPPED
ALREADY WRAPPED TICKETS. TO THE
CITY COFFERS AND THAT'S BACK
FILLED BY THE STATE YES YES SIR.
YEAH -- HAS THERE BEEN ANY
OPPOSITION.
OF FROM GROUPS LIKE THE
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
RATHER EDUCATIONAL GROUPS NO.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AS CENTER WE
KNOW LIKE TURNED OVER TO THE
VICE CHAIR ONE IS FRESHER.
SO YOUR USER.
HEY THERE YOU GO.
IT IS HE OF YES REDUCE AFTER A
CALL BUT IF I WOULD HAVE.
READ THIS BEFORE OUR PHONE CALL
LAST NIGHT AND IT GIVE YOU A
LITTLE MORE.
INPUT BUT SB EIGHTY NINE WHICH
IS BEING CORRECTED HERE ARE TWO
THOUSAND ELEVEN WAS NEFARIOUS
AND IT WAS.
A BUDGET TRAILER BILL THAT JUST
WIPED OUT A LOT OF US.
INCLUDING THAT THE COUNTY OF
ORANGE SO I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED
ABOUT.
WHETHER THIS BILL ADDRESSES THE
COUNTY OF ORANGE RIGHT.
ON PAGE SEVEN OF THE BILL LINES
THIRTY ONE THROUGH -- FORTY
THERE THERE'S A REFERENCE THERE
AND I'M JUST WONDERING YOUR YOU
KEPT USING THE TERM CITIES.
BUT IS THE COUNTY OF ORANGE
BEING -- ADDRESSED AS WELL
BECAUSE WE TOOK -- AS IT SAYS IN
THE BILL OF FIFTY THREE MILLION
DOLLAR A YEAR YET. TO OUR
GENERAL FUND IT WAS IT WAS AWFUL
AND THEY PUT ME IN LITIGATION I
WAS CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF THE
TIME AT IS TO GOVERNOR BROWN AND
IT'S JUST NOT A PLEASANT TIME.
IT IS SENATOR ODENKIRK WITH
LAWYER CALIFORNIA CITIES ARE THE
ANSWER IS NO WE DON'T BELIEVE
THE BILL AT ALL AFFECTS THE
COUNTY OF ORANGE IN FACT THE
COUNTY WARRANTS DID.
GET A FIX I THINK IT WAS A
SENATOR CORY A BILL NUMBER THREE
FOUR YEARS AGO AND AND THAT THAT
IS NOT A TOUCH BY THIS PROPOSAL --
I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS A CAREER
AS YOU SAID A QUREIA BILL.
I BELIEVE WAS SENATOR KOREA --
IT THINK IT WAS PROBABLY FOUR
YEARS AGO.
WHEN THERE WASN'T MUCH OF A FIX
[inaudible]
OKAY.
OUR YARD AND JUST KIND OF
CURIOUS -- MAYBE MAYBE STAFF TO
GET BACK TO ME TO LET ME KNOW --
IF -- IF IF IF AT LEAST.
EQUITY HAS BEEN PROVIDED BECAUSE
I I I SUPPORTED EVERYONE OF
SENATOR ROSS BILLS -- EVERY YEAR
WHILE I WAS STILL SUPERVISOR AND
EVERY YEAR THEY WENT THROUGH.
THE LEGISLATURE GOT TO THE
GOVERNOR'S DESK AND GOVERNOR
BROWN BE TOLD THEM IT WASN'T
UNTIL. TWO YEARS AGO THAT THAT
LIKE ON THE THIRD ITERATION THAT
THE GOVERNOR FINALLY SIGNED THE
BILL.
BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT -- AT THE END OF THE DAY
THE COUNTY OF ORANGE IS.
TREATED AS EQUITABLY AS ALL THE
CITIES AND AND WE HAD SEVEN
WORKING HARD FOR THE FOUR CITIES.
IN IN YOUR DISTRICT -- TO MAKE
SURE THEY GOT THEIR BILLS.
I JUST BRING THAT UP RICHARD
SHARPE WE CANNOT THANK YOU.
ABSOLUTELY ASSEMBLYMEMBER WOULD
YOU LIKE TO COMMENT I DO WANT TO
SAY THEY WERE.
NOT TO BE SENT IN MY DISTRICT --
THEY WORD SENATOR ROTH'S WITCHES
ON NEIGHBORING -- COMMUNITY.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CITIES
WHO HAVE ALREADY DONE THE WORK
OF ANNEXING.
THE PRIOR TO TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN
WOULD HAVE RECEIVED THAT FUNDING
FROM THE VEHICLE LICENSE FEE.
BUT BECAUSE OF THE WAY -- THE
LEGISLATION THE TRAILER BILL WAS
WRITTEN THEY NO LONGER RECEIVE
THIS.
SO IT IS.
AND WE DO HAVE A LIST OF THE ONE
HUNDRED AND FORTY PLUS CITIES
THAT WILL BENEFIT BECAUSE OF
THIS I'M WITH YOU AND AND IT
AFFECTED CITIES THAN NEXT AFTER.
TWO THOUSAND FOUR AND AFTER TWO
THOUSAND FOR THE COUNTY OF
ORANGE.
REFINANCE STAR BANKRUPTCY DEBT.
AND THE WILL OF THE BOOK THE
BORROWERS WANTED AS A DEDICATED
INCOME STREAM SO WE USE THE VLF
REVENUE STREAM AS THE SOURCE TO
PAY THE BONDS.
AND SO IN THE INDENTURE WHEN WE
REFUNDED REFINANCED WE HAD TO
SAY WERE STILL USING THE BOS
SOURCE ALTHOUGH IT WAS OUR
PROPERTY TAXES GOING IN THERE
BECAUSE IT ALL BEEN.
CHANGED BECAUSE OF A SWAB THAT
OCCURRED DURING THE ARNOLD
SCHWARZENEGGER MINISTRATIONS SO
IT WAS A CONTRIVANCE.
BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN OUR MONEY
OUR FIFTY THREE MILLION DOLLARS
GOT CAUGHT UP IN SB EIGHTY NINE
AND IT WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM US --
SO IT WAS EXTREMELY AWKWARD
BECAUSE ALL WE WERE DOING WAS
MEETING -- A BONDHOLDER
REQUIREMENT WHEN WE REFINANCE SO
WE KIND OF GOT CAUGHT IN THIS
UGLY MASS.
AND ND WHO KNOWS IF IT WAS
INTENTIONAL OR NOT -- BUT IT WAS --
NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE SO I'M
JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT
NOW THAT WERE HEALING ALL THESE
WOUNDS.
TECH IS WE DO HAVE THAT
DISCUSSION LAST WEEK ABOUT WHY
IN COURT Y. Y. ANNEX PARCELS IN
IRELAND'S IF YOU'RE GOING.
TO YOU KNOW HAVE A NET NEGATIVE
SO AFTER EVER DOING THAT I JUST
WANNA MAKE SURE IF YOU KNOW THE
DAY THAT THE COUNTY OF ORANGE IS
ALSO BEEN.
TREATED AS EQUITABLY AS EVERYONE
ELSE ON OUR SUPPORT THE BILL
I'VE I'VE BEEN THERE I JUST.
WHAT I MAKE SURE I'M ONE OF
THOSE NO BETTER NO WORSE
EVERYBODY ELSE SHOULD BE TO SEE
TREATED THE SAME WAY?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WITH MOTION FOR BY CENTER OF
BALANCE -- IT THANKS TO THE
RESEARCH -- MISTER PETERSON --
TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN THERE WAS
A ONE TIME ADJUSTMENT AND THE B.

THANK YOU MISTER -- I APPRECIATE
THIS BILL AND WHAT IT'S TRYING

DONE AS THIS CREATED A REAL
STAIN ON THE UC SYSTEM I JUST
REALLY [inaudible]
AWFUL AND UNITED ROB HAVE PLENTY
OF PARENTS HAVE COME TO US IN
TEARS HOW COME MY SON OR MY
DAUGHTER.
WITH A FOUR POINT THREE CAN'T
GET INTO A UC'S YOU KNOW CAMPUS.
AND HERE'S PEOPLE GETTING IN
[inaudible]
FRAUDULENTLY SO.
I'M I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT TWO
THINGS ONE AM WE JUST ASK FOR
DIANE AT FTP BUT DO WHO'S OUR
NEW DIANNE.
FROM THE FRANCHISE TAX BOARD WE
HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE
FRANCHISE TAX BOARD [inaudible]
THAT'S RICH.
WE HAVE A IS CARLSON I BELIEVE
IS HERE.
THIS CROSS AND COME ON DOWN.
WE WELCOME YOU.
WE ALWAYS I DON'T HAVE TO BE IS
IN THE HOUSE.
COME ON UP TO THE TABLE.
THE NAME WAS CARL.
JENNIFER YES PLEASE RIGHT
THERE'S GREAT.
WITH CARLSON -- YOU KNOW NOT TO
REVEAL ANY FTP SECRETS BUT YOU
KNOW WHEN WHEN SOMETHING LIKE
THIS A NONPROFIT GETS IN THE
NEWS IS THAT SORT OF A TRIGGER
FOR YOU.
TO AND YOUR YOUR DEPARTMENT SAID
TODAY TO REVIEW.
AT THE NONPROFIT THE NINE NINETY
IS THAT THE ONE NINETY NINES AND
THEN BUT ALSO TO TO LOOK AT YOU
KNOW MAYBE MAJOR DONORS BECAUSE
THEY HAVE TO BE LISTED AS WELL
UP THERE LIKE MORE THAN 5% RIGHT
UP THE REVENUES.
IS THAT IS THAT.
SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD
NATURALLY GO BOY WE BETTER START
AUDITING HERE.
IT'S CROSSING BEFORE YOU BEGIN
IF YOU CAN JUST GIVE US YOUR
FIRST AND LAST IN YOUR TITLE IN
ORGANIZATION WE WELCOME YOU
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YES YOU'RE GOOD.
JENNA CRLSON ACTING LEGISLATIVE
DIRECTOR FOR FRANCHISE TAX BOARD.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK GOOD TO SEE.
SENATOR THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION
FRANCHISE TAX BOARD USES THAT
MANY MANY SOURCES OF INFORMATION.
TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL NON
COMPLIANCE.
AND THE PUBLIC MEDIA IS ONE OF
THEM.
SO WE'RE WE'RE FOCUSED JUST ON
ONE'S BUT THIS PARTICULAR
NONPROFIT BUT I'M I'M WONDERING --
IT IS -- WAVE MAYBE IN IT OR
MAYBE A READY IN CODE IS -- WITH
A WHOLE.
THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS OR
WITH THE FACT THAT MAYBE THERE'S
FRAUD INVOLVED.
WITH THAT REMOVED THE STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS.
THERE ARE STATUTES TO SPEAK
SPECIFICALLY TO FRAUDULENT
ACTIVITY HOWEVER I WOULD NOTE
THAT.
IF THERE IS A LACK OF DON'T
ACTIVE INTENT. FOR A
CONTRIBUTION.
THAT CURRENT LAW ALLOWS FOR THE
DISALLOWANCE OF A CHARITABLE
CONTRIBUTION DEDUCTION
[inaudible]
SO.
IF IF IF ONE OF THESE
INDIVIDUALS AS EITHER --
ADMITTED GUILT AND DOESN'T GO
THROUGH TRIAL BAR IS FOUND
GUILTY AFTER TRIAL -- AND THEY
MAKE CONTRIBUTIONS AND DOUBTS
NOW THE DEEMED FRAUDULENT THEN
WITH THIS BILL BE NECESSARY OR
OR OR OR THE CURRENT.
PROCESS SEES ALREADY GOING TO
SATISFY WHAT WE WHAT WE REALLY
WANT TO DO HERE.
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION AND THAT
REALLY SPEAKS MORE THE INTENT --
UNDER CURRENT LAW FRANCHISE TAX
BOARD DOES HAVE THE AUTHORITY.
TO CORRECT THE TAX BENEFIT OR
REVERSE THE TAX BENEFIT THAT WAS
TAKEN THAT DID NOT MEET THE
UNDERLYING CODE.
SO THERE'S NOT A BILL OF TODAY
WHERE YOU HAVE A TWENTY YEAR
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS IS THAT
CORRECT.
THAT IS CORRECT OKAY SO THEN.
I'M I'M JUST YOU KNOW I WANT TO
SUPPORT THE BILL.
THIS IS THIS IS THE TOPIC OF THE
DAY AND IRONICALLY MR SINGERS
CONSTITUENT OF MINE -- BUT JUST
YOU KNOW I'M FRUSTRATED BY IT
ALL BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DO A BILL
EVERY TIME WE SEE SOMETHING LIKE
THIS THAT IT'S READY.
HOPEFULLY SOMETHING IN PLACE
THAT WOULD.
TAKE CARE OF EGREGIOUS EVENTS
LIKE THIS.
AND IT WOULD ALL THIS TO YOU IS
IS THAT ON HERE IN IN THE
ANALYSIS THAT WAS ADVANCED BY
FTP -- IN A READING STRAIGHT
FROM THE ANALYSIS OF THE
TAXPAYER DID NOT FILE A TAX
RETURN -- PILES OF FALSE OR
FRAUDULENT TAX RETURN.
THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT IF TO BE
TO ASSESS TAX SO -- PLEASE -- IN
HAVE YOU CONCLUDE HIS CROSS IN
THE NECK TO BE WOULD HAVE THAT
SIMPLY WOMAN BE ABLE TO OFFER A
CLOSING COMMENT AS WELL PLEASE.
BUT I WOULD SAY -- SENATOR AGAIN
GREAT QUESTIONS AND CURRENT LAW
DOES ALLOW FOR THE CORRECTION OF
A CLAIM TO TAX BENEFIT THAT DID
NOT MEET THE UNDERLYING
REQUIREMENTS OF THE CODE.

WORK.
AB FOR EIGHTY FIVE IS A
TRANSPARENCY BILL AIMED AT
HOLDING COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE TO
PROMISES MADE WHEN THEY WERE
ASKING FOR SUBSIDIES.

LEGISLATION IS THAT GOOD FOR
WORKERS TAXPAYERS AND OUR
COMMUNITIES.

CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION AND
ANGIE MAREADY REPRESENTING THE

ALWAYS ENJOY A HAVE BEEN
MISTAKEN IS READY IN COMMITTEE
MISTAKE OF THE FLOOR IS YOURS MR
CHEN MEMBERS CAITLIN BACK A FOR
THE CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION.
A PROUD TO BE SPONSORS OF THIS
MEASURE.
I FIRST MET A MANY OF THE
WAREHOUSE WORKERS ABOUT TEN
YEARS AGO WITH THE WAREHOUSE
WORKERS IN THE INLAND EMPIRE AND
I LEARNED THAT THERE WERE OVER A
HUNDRED THOUSAND WORKERS ALMOST
ALL OF THEM HIRED AS TEMPORARY
WORKERS.
WORKING ALMOST AS DAY LABORERS
WHERE THEY HAD TO SHOW UP EACH
DAY GET IN LINE SEE WHETHER THEY
WERE CHOSEN THEY WERE WORKING
UNDER SOME OF THE MOST
OPPRESSIVE CONDITIONS I HAVE
EVER HEARD.
OF INCLUDING -- PREGNANT WOMEN
HAVING TO LIFT HEAVY CRATES NO
PROTECTION AGAINST EXTREME HEAT
NO REST PERIODS -- THOUGH THEY
WERE SHOCKING CONDITIONS AND THE
WORKER STARTED TO COME OUT AND
SPEAK TO THOSE CONDITIONS.
OVER THE YEARS WHAT WE HAVE SEEN
IS THAT THESE WAREHOUSE
OPERATORS MAKE PROMISES TO BRING
JOBS TO AREAS THAT BADLY NEED
THEM AND THEN INSTEAD OF USING
THOSE TAXPAYER SUBSIDIES TO
CREATE GOOD JOBS.
AND TO HELP BRING FAMILIES OUT
OF POVERTY THEY ARE USED -- TO
CREATE LOW WAGE TEMPORARY JOBS
WHERE WORKERS ARE OFTEN PAID A
GROUP PIECE RATE AND MAKE VERY
LITTLE MONEY WHERE THERE'S
HIGHER.
RATES OF WAGE THEFT AND WORKER
INJURIES THE GOAL OF THIS BILL
IS SIMPLE IT IS TRANSPARENCY
TELL US THE KINDS OF JOBS YOU'RE
GOING TO CREATE -- BE CLEAR WHAT
THE DEAL IS YOU'RE MAKING WITH
THE LOCAL -- WITH THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT WITH THE LOCAL
COMMUNITY AND BE TRUE TO YOUR
WORK THAT'S ALL THIS BILL ASKS

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ALL RIGHTS ORGANIZED.
MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS CHASING AND
SALAS REPRESENTING THE CITY
MARINO VALLEY -- WE HAVE A
CONTINUE TO OPPOSE THIS BILL AS
WE DID THE PRIOR VERSION THAT
WAS VETOED WITH ME I HAVE THE
VICE MAYOR -- VICTORIA BACCHUS
TO MAKE A BRIEF FOR A FEW BRIEF
COMMENTS IF YOU WILL THANK YOU
GREAT.
ADVICE VERY WELCOMING COMMITTEE
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE
TIME IN YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE TO BE
WITH US YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES ME
ON THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AND AND I
REALLY -- I'M HONORED TO BE HERE
THINK OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ
THE STATEMENT PLEASE --
DISTRIBUTION CENTERS PLAY A
PIVOTAL ROLE IN THE MOVEMENT OF
GOODS AND CALIFORNIA AND HELP
SOLIDIFY OUR STATE'S ROLE AS THE
GATEWAY FOR COMMERCE.
SINGLING THEM OUT ONLY MAKES IT
MORE COMPELLING FOR THESE
BUSINESSES TO BUILD IN OTHER
STATES CALIFORNIA.
DOESN'T DEMAND THIS LEVEL OF
SCRUTINY WITH OTHER PROMINENT
INDUSTRY SUCH AS HIGH TECH FILM
SPORTS ARENAS AND ENTERTAINMENT
VENUES.
CURRENT LAW ALREADY REQUIRES
SUBSTANTIAL DISCLOSURE AB FORTY
FIVE CONTAINS POISON PILL
PROVISIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE
DISCLOSURE BUSINESS INFORMATION
THAT IS STRICTLY PROPRIETARY.
MY STAFF SURVEYED SEVERAL OF
ORINDA VALLEY'S LOGISTIC
COMPANIES MANY ARE FORTUNE.
FIVE HUNDRED AND INTERNATIONAL
COMPANIES WILL CONTINUE TO
CONFIRM THAT THIS INFORMATION
WOULD NEVER BE PROVIDED FOR
PUBLICATION THESE REQUIREMENTS
WOULD ONLY MAKE THE BUSINESS
CLIMATE IN TEXAS AND MEXICO SEEM.
THAT MUCH MORE ALLURING.
MORENO VALLEY ASSERTS THAT THE
JOBS CREATED BY THE LOGISTICS
INDUSTRY BRING ECONOMIC
STABILITY TO FAMILIES WHO WOULD
OTHERWISE SUFFER FROM
UNEMPLOYMENT.
ACCORDING TO UC RIVERSIDE SCHOOL
OF BUSINESS BETWEEN TWO THOUSAND
ELEVEN AND TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN
TOTAL PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT IN THE
CITY INCREASED BY SIXTEEN
THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND FORTY
JOBS.
OF WHICH THE TRANSPORTATION
WAREHOUSING AND UTILITIES
CATEGORY REPRESENT MORE THAN 61%
OF NEW JOBS CREATED.
MOST IMPRESSIVE IS THAT MARINO
VALLEY'S AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD
INCOME INCREASED FROM SIXTY
THREE THOUSAND TO OVER SEVENTY
EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS.
WE HAVE WITNESSED OTHER STATES
OFFERING INCENTIVES TO LURE
COMPANIES OUT OF CALIFORNIA.
PLEASE DO NOT LIMIT THE FEW
TOOLS AT OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
CAN UTILIZE TO TRACK JOBS SO
THAT OUR RESIDENTS CAN HAVE A
PROSPEROUS ECONOMIC FUTURE.
A VOTE FOR A BEFORE EIGHTY FIVE
IS A VOTE FOR TEXAS AND MEXICO.
IN CLOSING AS MAYOR PRO TEM OF
THE CITY THAT S A TWENTY FIRST
LARGEST CITY IN CALIFORNIA WE
URGE YOU TO OPPOSE THIS BILL.
BETTER MAYOR PRO TEM THANK YOU
SO MUCH WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE TWO
OF YOU STAY THERE -- HERE AS WE
PROCEED WITH ADDITIONAL
OPPOSITION IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE
ANYONE ELSE COMPORT.
COMING LAST CALL FOR OPPOSITION.
MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS JACK YOU'RE
GONNA BE HELPFUL YOU
CALIFORNIA'S CITIES EARLIER THIS
YEAR THIS COMMITTEE HEARD IN
PAST -- SENATOR GLAZERS SB FIVE
THIRTY ONE WHICH REALLY DEALT
WITH THE KEY ISSUE ASSOCIATED
WITH WERE HOUSES AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS THE SALES
TAX AGREEMENTS AND BASICALLY
PROHIBITED THESE.
AGREEMENTS GOING FORWARD -- WE
SEE -- WITH THIS BILL ELLIS --
CONTINUING THE MEMBERS HAVE GONE
OUT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BUT
CONTINUE TO IMPOSE ADDITIONAL
SET OF HOOPS AND HURDLES ON ONE
TYPE OF OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
AS OPPOSED TO OTHERS AND FOR
THOSE REASONS WE THINK SB FIVE
THIRTY ONE ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM
IN THIS BILL GOES TOO FAR.
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS CAN BE
LAST CALL FOR THOSE WHO ARE
OPPOSED LAST CALL.
AND BRING IT BACK TO COMMITTEE
AND A TURN OVER THE SEVEN MEMBER
TO BE ABLE TO OFFER ANY COMMENTS
T BEFORE YOU DO I DO THINK THAT
THE AMENDMENTS YOU ARE WORKING
ON THESE AMENDMENTS. TO BE ABLE
TO STRIKE A COMPROMISE -- IN I I
DON'T WANT.
TO PUT WORDS INTO THE MADAM
PROTEINS -- MAYOR PRO TEM'S
MOUTH BUT I THINK THAT -- YOU
REALLY BEEN TRYING TO WORK ON
THIS BILL AMENDMENTS THAT WERE
ADVANCE WORK ON MANY OF THE
CONCERNS AND LIKE I SAY ALL THAT
MANY OF THE CONCERNS IN REGARDS
TO THAT DATA.
AS BEING REFERRED TO IT MAY NOT
GO FAR ENOUGH I GET IT -- BUT
WOULD LIKELY TO TURN OVER THE
SUMMER NUMBER AFTER THAT ISSUE.
I WANT TO THANK CAL CHAMBER IN
THE CALIFORNIA REAL TALE
RETAILERS ASSOCIATION FOR
WORKING WITH MY OFFICE AND GOING
NEUTRAL.
WHEN IT THANK THE MAYOR OF THE
CITY OF FRESNO WE BRAND? FOR
CHANGING POSITIONS AND
SUPPORTING THE BILL.
AB FOR EIGHTY FIVE WILL INCREASE
PUBLIC TRANSPARENCY AND SEEKS TO
GIVE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THE
NECESSARY INFORMATION. TO HOLD
AREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION
DISTRIBUTION COMPANIES THAT
RECEIVE TAXPAYER FUNDED
SUBSIDIES ACCOUNTABLE.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
BOTH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
A SIMILAR I JUST ON THE ISSUE OF
THE AMENDMENTS I THINK THAT.
ON THOSE AMENDMENTS THOSE ARE
WHERE YOU WERE TRYING TO FOCUS
RIGHT ON NOT A BILLING DEAN SOME
OF THOSE AMENDMENTS IN REGARD TO
SOME OF THE CONCERNS OR TO DANCE
AGAIN I'M NOT GONNA SAY THAT.
CAN SATISFY EVERYONE BUT I THINK
THAT WAS ONE OF THE POINTS AND
IN THE MIDST OF PLEASE IF YOU'D
LIKE TO BE ABLE.
TO COMMENT ON THAT SPECIFIC
QUESTION A PANTS THAT WAS THE
PURPOSE CORRECT THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
A PLEASE MISTER VICE CHAIR.
THANK YOU THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR --
THESE DISTRIBUTION CENTERS ARE
GETTING TO BE QUITE INTERESTING
ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE WATCHING
THE SYSTEMIC CHANGES IN OUR IN
OUR SOCIETY WITH THE TRANS AS
THEY THEY GENERATE SALES TAX.
AND THAT'S GENERATED BY INTERNET
SALES OVERSEEING THESE.
DISTRIBUTION CENTERS IN THE
CITIES WHERE THE WAREHOUSES
LOCATED.
A GENERATING A LOT OF SALES TAX
REVENUES -- BUT IT ISN'T GOING
TO PERHAPS THE CITY WHERE THE
PURCHASER AND SO -- THERE
THERE'S A LOT OF RETAIL ACTIVITY
IN ORANGE COUNTY BUT A
NEIGHBORING COUNTIES GETTING THE
SALES TAX.
AND I THINK I IT IT PUTS -- AN
AWKWARD COMPOUNDED INTO --
CITIES QUé AND COMPETING
AGAINST EACH OTHER TO GET THESE
WAREHOUSES SO I APPRECIATE THIS
BILL BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT --
SENATE BILL FIVE THIRTY ONE BY
GLAZER WAS A GOOD.
BILL AS WELL -- BUT IF WE'RE ALL
GONNA START COMPETING FOR SALES
TAX GENERATORS WE KIND OF GET
BLINDED. TO WHAT'S REALLY
HAPPENING AND I THINK ONCE THE
LEAGUE OF CITIES REALIZES THAT A
LOT OF THEIR MEMBERS ARE NOT
GETTING THE REVENUES THEY SHOULD
BE GETTING.
BECAUSE IT'S BEING.
CENTERED SOMEWHERE ELSE -- THEN
THEN IMAGES TO A BALLOT MEASURE.
AND THEN ALL THE CITIES THAT
GAVE SUBSIDIES ARE GONNA FIND
THEMSELVES.
LOSING THE SALES TAX REVENUE
THEREFORE PART COMING UP
NEGATIVE PAYING OUT MORE IN
SUBSIDIES THAN THEY'RE GETTING
AND SALES TAX BENEFITS I'M.
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT SO I
APPRECIATE THE BILL I APPRECIATE
CERTAIN THE LABOR COMPONENT BUT
I'M I'M CONCERNED LONG TERM OR
WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE CITIES --
SHOULD.
THE WHOLE DYNAMIC CHANGED BY
DEVELOPING AGENCIES DISAPPEARED
AND AND YOU KNOW I CAN'T WE GIVE
I GAVE A LIST ALREADY HAVE ALL
THE THE FUNNY THING IS TO GO ON
A GOVERNMENT WHERE PEOPLE THINK
THEY'RE DOING A GREAT THING FOR
THEIR CITY.
BUT REALIZE AT THE END OF THE
DAY THAT THAT THEY HAD A YOU
KNOW SALESMAN IN TOWN WHO MADE
LOTS OF MONEY.
BACK TO THERE'S ONE GUY.
THAT WAS DISCLOSED AFTER WE
WE'VE FINISHED SB FIVE THIRTY
ONE THAT WAS GETTING A
PERCENTAGE OF THE SALES TAX FOR
ALL THIS CITIES THAT HE WAS ABLE.
TO CONVINCE THE VISION PUT
WAREHOUSES AND SO HE'S GOT THIS
INCOME STREAM THAT'S JUST.
IN THE MILLIONS JUST BECAUSE YOU
PUT IT IN THERE CONTRACTORS JUST
LIKE ALL MY GOODNESS THERE'S
THIS IS THIS IS SO WRONG.
SO -- MISTER -- WELL THE LEAGUE
OF CITIES DâN YOU MENTIONED
THAT THAT THIS WENT TOO FAR AND
I I I'M NOT SEEING IT I'M JUST
WONDERING IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND.
HELPING ME -- BECAUSE I I THINK
DISCLOSING TO YOUR RESIDENCE
THAT YOU'RE GONNA DO SOMETHING
THAT THE CITIZENS OF THAT CITY
YOU'RE GONNA UNDERWRITE A
PARTICULAR.
BUSINESS THEY SHOULD BE FULLY
AWARE OF OF WHAT IT IS IF
THEY'RE GIVING UP A HUNDRED
THOUSAND OR MORE OF THEIR TAXES
SO WHAT AM I MISSING. ZERO
NINETY THREE ENTITIES YOURSELF
PLEASE -- ALONG WITH YOUR TITLE.
THANK YOU SENATOR OGDEN CARRIED
WITH THE WE GET CALIFORNIA
CITIES.
ON ALL BACK TO SB FIVE THIRTY
ONE SENATOR YOU TALKED ABOUT
SALES TAXES I MEAN THE SB FIVE
THIRTY ONE DEAL SQUARELY WITH
THAT ISSUE OF SALES TAXE
INTERNET SALES.
AND ACTUALLY THE LEAGUE IS --
SUPPORTING AYE I GUESS SORT OF
SPONSORING FIVE THIRTY ONE
BECAUSE WE HAD A DAY INTENSIVE
POLICY DISCUSSION WITHIN THE
LEAGUE ABOUT THAT ISSUE AND
ESPECIALLY ABOUT SOME OF THE THE
THE THE GROWTH OF INTERNET AND
SOME OF THE ISSUES AND SO.
THAT'S WHY THAT BILL WOULD BE
AND THESE AGREEMENTS GOING
FORWARD WE SUPPORT THAT BUILDS
IN THE ASSEMBLY.
THIS ISSUE IF YOU TAKE THAT BILL
WOULD PUT THAT BILL ASIDE AND
SAY THAT GOES THROUGH THE
GOVERNOR SIGNS IT.
AND THE QUESTION IS WHERE WE
HAVE IN A WAREHOUSE SCHEMA WHERE
A CITY WITH A WAREHOUSE IN THIS
INSTANCE GO THROUGH ALL THE
HOOPS AND HURDLES THAT TAT THIS
BILL REQUIRES.
THIS BILL REQUIRES UNDER
EXISTING LAW IF YOU HAVE GIVEN
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTS IN OF YOU
HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING
AND THEN WHAT YOU GIVE THAT
INSTEAD OF YOU HAVE TO HAVE A
REPORT EVERY FIVE YEARS.
THIS BILL REQUIRES MUCH MORE
DETAIL RELATED TO A WAREHOUSE
AND ALSO REQUIRES ANNUAL PUBLIC
HEARINGS IN ANNUAL REPORTS
REPORTS TO GO BUSINESS AND OTHER
THINGS BUT NOT KNOW WHETHER --
ENTITY HOUSE TO DO IN FACT I
THINK IT PROBABLY GOES FURTHER
THAN THE STATE'S WHEN GOKU'S
GIVES OUT A CALIFORNIA COMPETES
CREDITS.
I DON'T THINK THERE HAVE AN
ANNUAL PUBLIC HEARINGS ON ON
THERE IT'S AND SO IT GOES TO
FOUR AND ENDED IT SINGLES OUT
THESE COMMUNITIES.
THE SALES TAX ISSUE WE WOULD
ARGUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED IN
THERE -- FOR THE COMMUNITIES
OUGHT TO HAVE FLEXIBILITY TO THE
EXTENT THEY'RE USING THEIR OWN
REVENUES.
THE IN A AND I'LL JUST ADD
THOUGH JUST I THINK IT'S CLEAR.
THERE'S A DISTINCT DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN CENTER -- GLAZIERS BILL --
AS WELL AS THIS BILL THIS BILL
IS NOT JUST FOCUS ON SALES TAX
SALES TAXES FOCUS ON SB FIVE
THIRTY ONE WHICH IS GLAZERS BILL --
AND THIS BILL IS ON OTHER TYPES
OF SUBSIDIES SO IT'S THERE ARE
SOME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THAT.
PERSON NEVER WOULD YOU LIKE TO
BE ABLE TO RESPOND AT ALL.
SO I AM THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER THAT
REPRESENTS THE CITY OF MORENO
VALLEY AS WELL AS THE CITY OF
RIVERSIDE.
AND THE CITY OF PARIS -- AND
I'VE.
PRESENT THIS BILL BECAUSE I
AGREE.
WITH CENTER MORE LOCK THAT THE
CITIZENS OF A COMMUNITY SHOULD
VERY WELL KNOW WHERE THEIR TAX
DOLLARS ARE GOING.
I I I BELIEVE THAT.
ALSO THINK CENTER MORE LIKE
SAID THAT MANY TIMES WAREHOUSES
COMING IN AND YOU COMMUNITY MAKE
PROMISES THAT ARE NOT.
A DELIVERED ON JOBS OR THE
REVENUE THAT THEY'RE THEY WOULD
CREATE OR THE KIND OF JOBS THAT
THEY CREATE.
AND FOR THAT REASON I THINK THIS
WEEK WE NEED THIS BILL I ASK FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE -- THE CITIZENS
DESERVE TO KNOW WHERE THEIR TAX
DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT THANK
YOU SO MUCH THE NUMBER WE DO
HAVE A QUESTION BY -- MISTER
HURTS SENATOR -- FOLLOWING UP ON
A QUESTIONINGS BY SENATOR MORE
LOCKED.
AB THE SOLUTION. TO ALTERNATIVES
HERE.
IS WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE
DANCING AROUND THE PROBLEM.
THE PROBLEM IS BRADLEY BURNS.
WE'VE CREATED TAX STRUCTURE
CENTERS I MEAN GOVERNOR
SCHWARZENEGGER TRIED TO DEAL
WITH THIS AND WASN'T SUCCESSFUL --
BECAUSE WE INCENTIVIZE BIG BOX
RETAIL IN.
BIG CITIES LIKE LOS ANGELES STEP
SMALL CITIES AROUND OF TO GET
THE BENEFIT OF THIS EXTRA PENNY
ON SALES TAX OR AUTO MALLS AND
THE LIKE.
IS IT A HOUSING WE TRIED TO DO
THAT AND COULD WIN THAT.
MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST EITHER A
ELIMINATE BRADLEY BURNS THAT
STOP STOPS THE PROBLEM IN THE IN
ITS TRACKS BECAUSE THERE'S
NOTHING TO OFFER WHEN YOU DON'T
HAVE THAT MONEY OR BE DO WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO BEFORE.
AND USE THAT BRADLEY BURNS MONEY
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHICH IS
ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE HAVE A
HOUSING PROBLEM WE HAVE BECAUSE
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS WANT THE
MONEY.
AND THEY'D RATHER TAKE THE MONEY.
FOR TO PAY SUBSIDIZED Là
SERVICES THAT HOUSING WHICH
DOESN'T PROVIDE THE MONEY THAT
BIG BOX RETAILERS AUTO MALLS DO
SO MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST.
TO INDUCE A BILL AND JUST GET
READY BRADLEY BURNS AND AND
EVERYBODY'S ARGUMENTS WILL
CHANGE.
YOU KNOW RIGHT NOW THEY'RE
ARGUING WHETHER WITH A REPORT
ABOUT THE MONEY THAT THEY'RE
TAKEN BUT THE PROBLEM IS.
NOW THERE'S BRADLEY BURNS
REVENUE STREAM WORKS AND IT'S
CREATED IT UNBELIEVABLE PROBLEM
IN CALIFORNIA AND THE NO I DON'T
THINK IT'S ACHIEVED THE
DELIVERABLES AND SOUGHT TO
ACHIEVE AND CREATED THIS
COMPETITIONS AMONG CITIES SO.
A CO AUTHOR THAT BILL YOU SIR.
THANK YOU MISTER SENATOR WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE ONE LAST QUICK
COMMENT IF YOU I MEAN IF YOU SEE
YOURSELF MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
CHASING AND SOLVE US AGAIN
REPRESENTING THE CITY OF MARINO
VALLEY.
AND WE UNDERSTAND SIR MORE LOCKS
CONCERNS AND AS NOTED ON ITEM
SIX IN THE ANALYSIS THE PRIOR
VETO MESSAGE SUGGEST THIS BILL
GOES TOO FAR.
CURRENT LAW HAS ABOUT FOURTEEN
PROVISIONS WERE YOU HAVE TO
REPORT UNDER FIFTY THREE ZERO
EIGHT THREE S. NUMBER JOBS
IMPACT YOU HAVE AN ANNUAL IMPACT
STUDY.
AND WHILE I KNOW SENATOR
HERTZBERG WHO KNOWS THIS I WOULD
ONLY SUGGEST THAT THE BRADLEY
BURNS IS THE ONLY UNIFORM --
REVENUE SOURCE COME TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS I WOULD PROBABLY
RATHER HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT
THE DISPARITY PROPERTY TAX
SHARES AS A RESULT OF AB.
EIGHT AND THEN WE WOULD REALLY
HAVE A FIVE CONVERSATION BUT
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR THAT'S
PERHAPS FOR ANOTHER DAY THANK
YOU SO MUCH.
CENTERS FOR WOULD ALSO LIKE TO
TALK WITH YOU ABOUT SERVICE
TAXES SO -- HE'S GONNA GIVE
BACKS ON THAT AS WELL.
SO -- WE'RE GONNA TURN IT OVER
TO SENATOR ABOUT YOU CLEAR FOR
YOU THE AMENDMENTS.
THAT ARE BEING CONSIDERED.
THE LADY SIN I MAY THE MORNING.
A SERAPH LOCKS CALIFORNIA LABOR
FEDERATION THROUGH THE
AMENDMENTS -- WERE NEGOTIATED
WITH THE THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
AND THE RETAILER CITY OF FRESNO
THERE WAS AN ISSUE THAT THE VICE
MAYOR RAISED ABOUT PROPRIETARY
INFORMATION SOME OF THE
DISCLOSURES AROUND JOB QUALITY.
WE WORKED WITH IT THE CHAMBER
AND THE RETAILERS AND OTHER
OPPOSITION TO COME UP WITH.
MORE AGGREGATED SO RATHER THAN
ASKED FOR THE SPECIFIC WAGES FOR
SPECIFIC JOBS IT IS NOW WAGE
SCALES WHICH IS MORE AKIN TO
WHAT CALIFORNIA COMPETES ASK.
FOR BENEFITS AND WELL RATHER WE
HAD BEEN THE ORIGINAL BILL WHICH
WAS VETOED LAST YEAR SO THIS IS
A DIFFERENT BILL OF AND THAT THE
VETO MESSAGE THAT GOVERNOR BROWN
HAD -- THE HE WE ASK FOR THE
SPECIFIC VALUE OF THE BENEFIT
PACKAGE AND SO THIS IS THAT IS
LANGUAGE IS BEEN TAKEN OUT AND
IT'S MORE GENERALIZED WHETHER
BENEFITS ARE OFFERED.
AND ALSO ANOTHER PIECE WAS WE
WANTED TO MAKE IT CLEAR AT THE
REQUEST OF THE OPPOSITION THAT
THIS DOESN'T.
ABROGATE OR CHANGE ANY EXISTING
CONTRACTS IT IS ONLY GOING
FORWARD [inaudible]
OKAY SO [inaudible]
SO YOU'RE.
STILL REQUIRING THE WAGE.
GAIL ASIAN THE SKILL OKAY THAT'S
THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR ME YES AND
WHETHER IT'S TEMPORARY FOR ME I
I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE MORE
IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE BILL --
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND I HOPE THAT
WE DON'T WATER THAT DOWN --
BECAUSE I THINK AS OF FORMER ALL.
TEEN AGE -- WAREHOUSEMAN.

WHEN I DID THE WORK AND -- HAD
SOME UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE

HER EIGHT WHAT WE NEEDED AT
SEVENTH INNING STRETCH FOR A
MINUTE RIGHT -- CRYSTAL I'D LIKE
TO THANK THE CHAIR AND THE
COMMITTEE FOR HELPING ME AND AND
GUIDING ME WITH THIS BILL THIS
IS A TECHNICAL BILL DEALING WITH
DEALING WITH THE STATUE OF
LIMITATIONS OF TWENTY YEARS FOR
FRANCHISE TAX BOARD TO COLLECT
ON AN OUTSTANDING.
WITH THAT I I WILL TURN IT OVER
TO JOSEPH BOILS WHO IS A TAX
ATTORNEY FROM LOS ANGELES AREA
WHO CAN SPEAK TO THE BILL A
LITTLE BIT MORE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU SO
LIMóN WELCOME TO COMMITTEE SIR
IF YOU DON'T MIND ENTITIES
YOURSELF FIRST CLASS
ORGANIZATION AND YOU HAVE TWO
MINUTES.
MORNING MR CHAIRMAN SANDERS I'M
JOSEPH BOILS ON THE CALIFORNIA A
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT AND
ATTORNEY.
PRACTICING THE ART OF TAX LAW
LOS ANGELES -- FOR OVER A
HUNDRED YEARS THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE HAS PROVIDED A TEN
YEAR STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON
THE COLLECTION OF FEDERAL TAXES
CALIFORNIA DIDN'T HAVE A STATURE
LIMITATIONS ON THE COLLECTION OF
INCOME TAXES.
UNTIL TWO THOUSAND SIX IN TWO
THOUSAND SIX THE LEGISLATURE
PASSED A TWENTY YEAR STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS -- WHICH I I TRIED
LEADERS THE LONGEST STRETCH
LIMITATIONS OF IN THE STATE THE
COUNTRY TWICE THE FEDERAL LAW.
BUT THE MECHANICS OF THE FEDERAL
STATE STATUTEARE DIFFERENT
UNDER THE FEDERAL STATUTE.
THERE'S A TEN YEAR STATUTE
LIMITATIONS ON EACH AND EVERY
ASSESSMENT OF TAX.
UNDER CALIFORNIA'S LAW THERE'S A
TWENTY YEAR STATURE LIMITATIONS
ON EACH TAX YEAR.
IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE
ASSESSMENTS OF TAX WITHIN ONE
TAX YEAR THE TWENTY YEAR CLOCK
BEGINS TO RUN FROM THE LAST
ASSESSED TAX.
SO THOSE WILL NOT LOOK DOES THE
MECHANICS.
BUT THERE'S A FLAW IN IN THE
MECHANICS AND THAT.
UP THE THE THE STATUTE CURRENTLY
DEFIANCE A TAX LIABILITY TO
INCLUDE INTEREST PENALTIES AND
FEES AND COSTS.
WELL.
INTEREST ACCRUES DAILY SO IF IF
THE TWENTY YEAR CLOCK BEGINS TO
RUN FROM THE LAST ASSESSED
AMOUNT.
INTEREST ACCRUES DAILY THE
TWENTY YEAR CLOCK BEGINS EVERY
DAY.
SIMILARLY THE THE IT THE FTV
ROUTINELY CHARGES FEES AND COSTS
FOR COLLECTION THERE'S A
EIGHTEEN DOLLAR LEAN FEE THERE'S
A THIRTY DOLLAR OR FIFTY DOLLAR --
FEE ON INSTALLMENT AGREEMENTS
ALL OF THOSE FEES AND COSTS
RESTART THE TWENTY YEAR STATUTE
OF LIMITATIONS. FOR THE TWENTY
OR STATURE WOULD LIMITATION
BECOMES ILLUSORY.
THIS BILL IS THE TECHNICAL
CORRECTION THAT TO FIGHT THE
THAT REDEFINES THE AMOUNTS THAT
RESTART THE STATUTE AS TAX ONLY.
SO IF THERE'S IF THERE'S A NEW
ASSESSMENT OF TAX THE TWENTY
YEAR CLOCK BEGINS TO RUN AGAIN.
INTEREST FEES COST THOSE ITEMS
WILL NO LONGER RESTART THE
TWENTY YEAR CLOCK THE TECHNICAL
CORRECTION AND THAT'S THAT'S HOW
IT WORKS.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

GRATEFUL YOU DID THE D. FIVE

YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND I WANT
TO TAKE YOUR STAFF AS WELL FOR
WORKING WITH US -- TO MAKE AG
AXLE IMPROVEMENTS TO THIS BILL I
WANT TO SAY ON THE RECORD I WILL
BE ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEES
AMENDMENTS THOSE OF WILL BE
TAKEN AND SENATE ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY COMMITTEE.
US VERY QUICKLY EIGHTY FOUR
TWENTY THREE WAS STRUCTURE
STANDING WAS AIR POLLUTION
CONTROL DISTRICT BOARD AND THEN
DIRECTS THEM TO INCREASE THEIR
PROGRAM TRANSPARENCY.
THE BILL WILL BE RECONSTITUTED
TO INCLUDE THAT REPRESENTATION
FROM ADDITIONAL SAN DIEGO CITIES
AS WELL AS OTHER KEY
STAKEHOLDERS.
THANK YOU AIDS A CITY WAS A PCD
BOARD REPRESENTS OVER THREE
MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS EIGHTEEN
CITIES HOWEVER UNLIKE OTHER
LARGE URBAN -- AIR DISTRICTS
THAT OVERSEE A SINGLE COUNTY THE
COMPOSITION OF THE A PC BOARD
CURRENTLY SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDES
LOCAL CITIES FROM HAVING A SEAT
ON THE BOARD.
IS THAT THE BOARD IS MADE UP
ENTIRELY OF BOARD MEMBERS OF THE
CITY OF COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS THE AT THE
PERSPECTIVES AND INSIGHTS OF
OTHER LOCAL AIR POLLUTION
SOURCES.
THE CIVIC WE CITIES AND OTHER
STAKEHOLDERS THESE EXPERIENCES I
THINK WITHIN FOUR BETTER
DECISION MAKING EIGHTY FOUR
TWENTY THREE WOULD ALSO INCREASE
TRANSPARENCY REQUIRING THE BOARD
TO AMONG OTHER THINGS CREATE A
SEPARATE WEBSITE.
APPLY FOR STATEWIDE GRANTS AND
FEDERAL INCENTIVE PROGRAMS --
EVALUATE THE PUBLIC COMPLAIN
COMMENT PROCESS AND DEVELOP A
PLAN FOR COMPREHENSIVE AIR
MONITORING A BEFORE TWENTY THREE
IS SUPPORTED BY DIVERSE
COALITION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE ORGANIZATIONS WITH ME
TODAY TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT IS
DAN TALKED FOR IN WITH THE
ENVIRONMENT HEALTH COALITION AS
WELL AS THE CALIFORNIA AIR
RESOURCES.
BOARD THANK YOU MISTER GLORY DAY
AND WELCOME TO COMMITTEE THANK
YOU SO MUCH OF TWO MINUTES WE'RE
GRATEFUL YOU'RE HERE THANK YOU
SO MUCH -- CHAIRMAN REQUIRE AND
AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER GLORIA SAID I
AM WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
COALITION AND SERVICE
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
REPRESENTATIVE ON THE ERRORS
RESOURCES BOARD OF CALIFORNIA.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH POLLUTION
IS SPONSORING THIS BILL --
BECAUSE WE ARE -- TIRED OF
HAVING TO HEALTH AND ON OUR MOST
IMPACTED COMMUNITIES CONTINUE
UNABATED -- AND WE BELIEVE THAT
A CHANGE IN THE AIR POLLUTION
CONTROL DISTRICT BOARD -- REALLY
WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND IT
REALLY DEMONSTRATES THE NEED FOR
ACTION.
THE NEED FOR CHANGE IN
REPRESENTATION IS VERY CLEAR THE
AIR AIR POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
OF SAN DIEGO IS AN ANOMALY AMONG
THE LARGE DISTRICTS IN THE STATE
IT'S THE PRODUCT OF A TWENTY
FIVE YEAR OLD PROVISIONS
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED. TO EXAM
SAN DIEGO COUNTY FROM HAVING A
DIVERSE AND REPRESENTATIVE BOARD
WE BELIEVE THAT THE NEED FOR
DIRECT ACTION IS CLEAR -- AND
THAT THE NEED FOR TRANSPARENCY
IS VERY VERY EVIDENT WE HAVE
EXAMPLES SUCH AS THE FACT THAT
THE BOARD MINUTES ARE BURIED
WITHIN THE COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS -- MINUTES AND
THEY'RE NOT ACCESSIBLE TO THE
PUBLIC -- ONLINE REQUEST FOR
DATA GOAL -- ON RESPONDED -- TO
AFTER MULTIPLE REQUESTS -- AND
MONITORING DATA FROM THE
EXISTING MONITORS TAKES YEARS TO
BE PROCESS WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED
TWENTY SIXTEEN DATA.
OTHER LARGE DISTRICTS HAVE
ROBUST PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
PROCESS SEES AND ARE MOVING
FORWARD WITH AUTHENTIC
PARTICIPATION FROM IMPACTED
COMMUNITIES WE AGREE WITH THE
AMENDMENTS THAT YOUR COMMITTEE
HAS PROVIDED AND WE APPRECIATE
ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE.
TO TO DEVELOP THOSE AND WE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOU RECALL
YOUR SUPPORT THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH WE'RE GONNA
ASK FOR THOSE WHO ARE ALSO IN
SUPPORT IF YOU COULD PLEASE COME
FORWARD LOOKING FOR THOSE WHO
ARE ALSO IN SUPPORT TO PLEASE
COME FORWARD THIS TIME.

WORKING WITH US TO ADDRESS OUR
CONCERNS.
WITH THE MOST RECENT SETTLEMENT
THAT WILL BE GOING TO THE BILL --
ESPECIALLY RELATED TO THE FEE
ISSUE WHICH WAS OUR REMAINING
OUTSTANDING ISSUE -- THAT THAT
ADDRESSES ALL OF OUR CONCERNS OF
THE PROPOSAL SO.
AND WE GREATLY APPRECIATE -- THE
ASSEMBLYMEMBERS EFFORTS IN
WORKING WITH US NOT LOOK I I
WANNA TAKE A MOMENT I THINK THIS
IS -- IN ISSUE THAT'S BEEN ALL
SIDES -- WANTING TO ADDRESS
WANNA TAKE LONGER TO SAY THANK

OPPORTUNITY TO WORK THE ALL.
AND FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT AND LOOK
FORTY HERE AND SOME ADDITIONAL
FEEDBACK AS WELL SO THANK YOU SO
MUCH THANKS FOR BEING HERE AND
HAVE YOU HANG.
THESE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THAT
WORKS FOR YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO
SEE IF WE HAVE ANYONE WHO HAS
CONCERNS OPPOSITION TO THE BILL
IF YOU COULD PLEASE COME FORTH
THIS TIME.
WE'RE NOT LOOKING FOR OPPOSITION.
THIS IS GONNA BE LAST CALL WE'RE
GONNA BRING IT.
EVER GO HEY DOING.
WE HAVE SOME OTHER ACCOUNTS
CHAMBER WE ARE CURRENTLY IN
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED POSITION
BUT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WHILE THE
AUTHOR TO ADDRESS IN CONCERT
PARTICULARLY AROUND THE
ACTIVITIES REQUIRED BY THE BILL
OF THE DISTRICT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE [inaudible]
LAST CALL.
ALL RIGHT HERE AND SEE NO ONE
ELSE IN OPPOSITION WE'RE GONNA
BRING IT BACK TO COMMITTEE SEE
IF ANY QUESTIONS CONVERSATION
PLEASE MR VICE CHAIR.
SURE I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION IS
PLEASE -- IN IN THE BRIEFING
MATERIAL IT.
UNDER LOCAL AIR DISTRICTS THE
SECOND SENTENCE THAT STATE LAW
SPELLS OUT THE MEMBERSHIP.
OF THESE LOCAL AIR DISTRICT'S
GOVERNING BOARDS BUT THERE ARE
MANY VARIATIONS AND I'M JUST
CURIOUS YOU KNOW DOESN'T GIVE
LIKE A CODE CITATION OF WHERE TO
LOOK.
BUT WHAT IS WHAT IS THE OF A
BOARD SUPPOSED TO BE COMPRISED
OF YOU KNOW.
AS WE M. DUG INTO THIS ISSUE --
THERE IS NO MAGIC FORMULA -- BUT
WE'LL BE HAPPY TO BE TO GET YOU
THE CODE SECTION -- BUT YEAH
IT'S IT'S THE CODE SECTIONS NOT
BUT IF YOU GO TO PAGE TWO OF SIX
FIRST PARAGRAPH.
OF THE TWENTY ONE SINGLECOUNTY
DISTRICT SEVEN HAVE BOARDS WITH
CITY REPRESENTATION AND FOURTEEN
AND BOARDS WITH ONLY COUNTY
SUPERVISORS.
SO HERE'S WHERE WE CAME AND I'M
GONNA LOOK TO THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER ON THIS ISSE AND FEEL
FREE.
NOW IT'S IT'S IT'S OPEN IN SO --
AND I'M GONNA HAVE THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER CHIME IN ON THIS AS WELL.
THE ASSEMBLYMEMBER WANTED TO
MAKE SURE THAT THIS WAS DIVERSE
DIVERSE IN REGARDS TO ITS
AIR RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD THE
REASON WHY WE DO THAT.
IS BECAUSE WE SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE
THE INDIVIDUAL.
WHO IS AN EXPERT IN THAT ISSUE
OF AIR QUALITY ON BOTH BOARDS?
SINCE SAN DIEGO ALSO HAS A SEAT
ON THE STATE BOARD. ONE SAN
DIEGO CITY COUNCIL MEMBER
BECAUSE OF POPULATION. FIVE CITY
COUNCIL MEMBERS. ONE FROM EACH
OF THE FIVE COUNTY BOARD
DISTRICTS.
THAT WOULD THEN BE APPOINTED BY
THE CITY SELECTION COMMITTEE.
THE THREE PUBLIC BOARD MEMBERS
WOULD BE APPOINTED -- IT COULD
BE THROUGH AN AD HOC OF THE
COMMITTEE OR THE COMMITTEE OF
THE WHOLE OF THAT NEW BOARD.
SO AGAIN TRYING TO BE ABLE TO
GET AROUND THE COUNTY TO BRING A
VARIETY OF VOICES IN.
AND THEN ALSO ENSURING THAT THE
PUBLIC ALSO HAVE A SEAT AT THE
TABLE.
THERE IS NO FORMAL DEFINITION --
AND WE WE THINK WE'VE HIT THE
SWEET SPOT.
NOT SURE EVERYONE IS GOING.
TO BE HAPPY AS WITH ANY ISSUE
PATTERN OF THIS IN THE NUMBER TO
SEE WHAT I MISSED YOU -- COVERED
PRETTY WELL MISS JANET INTO FOR
THE VICE CHAIR IF I CAN AIDS
REFER TO MY WITNESS WHO I THINK
CAN PROVIDE A LITTLE MORE DETAIL
BUT YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING.
FOR I CAN'T WRITE THE CODE
SECTION SORRY I DON'T HAVE IT IN
FRONT OF ME BUT I DO -- KNOW
THAT EACH OF THE LARGE DISTRICTS
HAS A DIFFERENT COMPOSITION BUT
THEY GENERALLY HAVE THE SAME
IDEA OF HAVING PUBLIC MEMBERS
MEMBERS FROM EACH OF THE CITIES
OF OR THE REGION'S WITHIN A
COUNTY AND EACH ONE IS COMPRISED
DIFFERENTLY SOME HAVE APPOINTEES
FROM.
THE GOVERNOR FROM ARM TO THE US
SENATE PRETENDING FROM THE
ASSEMBLY SPEAKER THERE'S
DIFFERENT COMPOSITIONS FOR EACH
ONE OF THE LARGE DISTRICTS BUT
ALL OF THEM ARE DIVERSE AND HAVE
A HAVE A DIFFERENT KIND OF
COMPOSITION SO THIS ONE IS IN
KEEPING WITH -- WITH THOSE OF
DISTRICTS AS WELL IF YOU JUST TO
PUT IT SUCCINCTLY WE ARE THE
SECOND LARGEST A REGION IN THE
STATE AND YET WE OPERATE
CURRENTLY AS ONE OF THE SMALL
COUNTIES AND THAT'S NOT WORKING
ANY LONGER.
NO NO AND I SEE THAT AND I I
HAVE THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA --
RESOURCE.
ALL ABOARD AN INTENSE I'M
LOOKING AT AGAIN THE NO BETTER
NO WORSE PHILOSOPHY OF IF WE'RE
GONNA FIX SAN DIEGO WHY DON'T WE
SET AT A TEMPLATE FOR EVERYBODY.
SO WE'RE ALL FOLLOWING THE SAME.
FORMAT AND THAT'S SO I GUESS THE
QUESTION WOULD BE WHY JUST THIS
DISTRICT IN WHY NOT.
YOU KNOW IT'S GIVE THE UNIFORM
THROUGHOUT THE STATE SO WE'RE
ALL PLAYING ON THE SAME.
FIELD.
BUT THE WORST IDEA I'VE EVER
HEARD OUT MILEY THAT ANOTHER GUY --
GALLAGHER GUY TO TAKE ON I'M
JUST TRYING TO CARE TAKE CARE OF
ALL RIGHT NOW.
THAT AGAIN AND TRY TO TAKE CARE
OF MY DISTRICT RIGHT NOW YEAH I
MEAN I I GET THE POINT THAT
YOU'RE MAKING -- I THINK THIS
PUBLIC FOR SOME ABOVE MY PAY
GRADE.
WELL THEY WERE GONNA HAVE IKE
THIRTY OTHER DISTRICTS COME IN
OVERTIME RIGHT DO THE SAME THING
SO I'M JUST TRYING.
TO LOOK AT IT FROM AN OFFICIAL
STANDPOINT IF THIS IS A GREAT
IDEA THAN IT SHOULD BE A GREAT
IDEA FOR EVERYBODY.
YOU SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR THAT.
WE SHOULD WE SHOULD JUST
RESOLVING ALL ACROSS WORK THERE
WAS JUST MIKE MIKE WEIR THANK
YOU SIR THANK YOU MISTER.
I THINK WE MAY HAVE A BILL IDEA
IN THE MAKING.
SO A DOCTOR AMOUNTS.
RIGHT NOW ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MR VICE CHAIR.
WOULD LIKE ME TO SEE IF WE HAVE
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS FROM COMMITTEE WE ALSO

ISSUE.

CENTER TACO THE MOTION IS TO

THANK YOU DAN.
WE HAD.
SOME NUMBER CALL ROBERT LOOKS
LIKE HE MAY HAVE LEFT THE WE'RE
GONNA AT WE ARE GRATEFUL THAT MR
OBERNOLTE IS HERE WE'RE NOW
MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER SEVEN
THIS IS AB.
SIX TEN AB SIXTEEN IN REGARD TO
LOCAL BOND MEASURES.
BEFORE MR OBERNOLTE GETS GOING I
WANNA.
PERSON RECOGNIZED FOR ALL THIS
WORK ON A SEPARATE ISSUE AND
THAT'S THE ISSUE OF THE BUDGET --
HE'S BEEN LIVING THE DREAM OVER
THE PAST MANY MONTHS -- ALONG
WITH MISTER MOORE LOCK -- EACH
YOUR VICE CHAIRS IN THE
RESPECTIVE HOUSES AND JUST WANT
TO TAKE A MOMENT TO SAY THANK
YOU TO THIS A MEMBER FOR ALL
THIS WORK. TO MEMBER THE FLOOR
IS YOURS AND ITEM SEVEN A. B.
SIXTEEN WELCOME THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
CURRENT STATE LAW REQUIRES THAT
WHEN A BOND IS APPROVED BY
VOTERS.
THAT THE ABOUT BALLOT --
STATEMENT NEXT TO THE BOX WE
CHECK YES OR NO TO VOTE INCLUDES
AN ESTIMATE OF THE AMOUNT OF
PROPERTY TAX INCREASE THAT WILL
BE REQUIRED TO SERVICE THAT BOND.
CURRENTLY STATE LAW REQUIRES
THAT TO BE EXPRESSED IN TERMS OF
HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS OF DOLLARS
PER HUNDRED DOLLARS OF ASSESSED
VALUE.
THIS BILL AB SIX TEN WOULD
SIMPLY CHANGE THAT TO DOLLARS
POORER THOUSAND DOLLARS OF
ASSESSED VALUE.
THIS IS -- AN IMPORTANT TOOL FOR
DECREASING VOTER CONFUSION AND
HELPING PEOPLE TO DO THE MATH
BECAUSE THE AVERAGE HOUSE IN
CALIFORNIA IS CURRENTLY WORTH
MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS SO -- THIS BILLABLE
WHERE HAS OPTED OPPOSITION AND
WHAT ADDRESS A COUPLE OF THE
POINTS IN THE OPPOSITION LETTERS
THAT I'M SURE YOU'VE READ.
FIRST OF ALL -- THERE HAVE BEEN
CLAIMS MADE THAT THIS ACTUALLY
INCREASES VOTER CONFUSION OF
ALTHOUGH NO ONE HAS TOLD ME
EXACTLY WHY THEY FEEL THIS WAY
BUT LET ME TELL YOU A SIMPLE
EXAMPLE WHY I BELIEVE THAT THIS
ACTUALLY DECREASES VOTER
CONFUSION.
SO A TYPICAL BY BOB BALLOT
MEASURE -- FOR APPROVAL OF NEW
BOND MIGHT SAY THAT THIS BOND
WILL INCREASE TAXES BY EIGHT
CENTS PER HUNDRED DOLLARS OF
ASSESSED VALUE SO PRETEND THAT
YOU HAVE A HOUSE THAT'S WORTH.
FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS HOW WOULD YOU DO THE
MATH TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOUR TAX
INCREASE WOULD BE.
MAKING YOU THINK OF THE STEPS
THAT YOU WOULD TAKE I'LL TELL
YOU THE MAJORITY OF MY
CONSTITUENTS COULD NOT COME UP
WITH THOSE STEPS.
BUT IF WE JUST SIMPLY EXPRESSED
IT IN DOLLARS PER HUNDRED
DOLLARS EXCESS VALUE THAT WOULD
BE EIGHTY CENTS PER HUNDRED
DOLLARS IT'S CLEAR TO PEOPLE IF
THEY'RE FOUR HOUSES WORTH.
BORDER TO TWENTY THOUSAND THEY
WOULD JUST MULTIPLY BY FORD AND
TWENTY ANOTHER.
CONCERN HAS BEEN RAISED BY THE
OPPOSITION IS THAT AND SOMETIMES
IT'S RAISED EXPLICITLY AND
SOMETIMES A SAID IMPLICITLY BUT
ANOTHER CONCERN IS THAT THIS
WILL MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT. TO
GET BONDS APPROVED BY VOTERS
BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF THE TAX
INCREASE WILL LOOK BIGGER IF WE
MULTIPLY BY TEN EXPRESS IT PER
THOUSAND DOLLARS AND PERCENT OF
PER HUNDRED DOLLARS.
HOWEVER I'D LIKE GIVEN THE
SERGEANTS OF MATERIALS TO PASS
AROUND TO YOU THAT SAYS THAT
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE THERE'S
A SERIES OF ARTICLES IN THERE
WITH CITATIONS.
THE ACADEMIC LITERATURE THAT
SHOW THAT WHEN VOTERS ARE
CONFUSED ABOUT AN ISSUE
INCLUDING HOW MUCH THEY'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO PAY THEY'RE MUCH MORE
LIKELY TO VOTE NO.
THE TO VOTE YES AND SO I BELIEVE
THAT BY DECREASING VOTER
CONFUSION AND MAKING IT MORE
CLEAR WHAT'S SOMETHING WILL COST
THEM THEY WILL ACTUALLY BE MORE
LIKELY TO APPROVE IT.
THEN TO DISAPPROVE IT.
SO WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT
HAVE.
SENT OVER THANK YOU SO MUCH WE'D
LIKE TO BE ABLE TO WELCOME
ANYONE ELSE WHO MAY BE IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL IF YOU COULD
PLEASE COME FOR THIS TIME.
LOOKING FOR THOSE FOR IN SUPPORT
[inaudible]
LAST CALL.
WE NOW WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME
ANYONE WHO'S IN OPPOSITION IF
YOU COULD PLEASE COME FOR THIS
TIME.
ROOM CHECKED RESPECT FROM THEIR
SPERM OR WOULD LIKE TO COME FOR
WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU PLEASE
WELCOME.
HIS EGO WE'RE GRATEFUL THAT BOTH
YOUR HERE IF YOU COULD PLEASE
GIVE US YOUR FIRST AND LAST AN
ORGANIZATION YOU HAVE TWO
MINUTES EACH.
THE MORNING REBEKAH CURLY ON
BEHALF OF THE COALITION PRODUCT
WITH SCHOOL HOUSING WE ARE
OPPOSED.
TO EIGHTY SIX TEN AM WE BELIEVE
THAT THE CHANGE IS UNNECESSARY
AND WE DO BELIEVE THAT IT COULD
INCREASE VOTER CONFUSION OF THE
QUESTION FOR ME IS REALLY WHAT
PROBLEM ARE WE TRYING TO SOLVE
AND WHAT IMPROVEMENT WITH THIS
REALLY MAKE.
WE DO APPRECIATE TRANSPARENCY IN
COMMUNICATING VERY CLEARLY WITH
VOTERS THE IMPACT THAT A MEASURE
MAY HAVE ON THEM THE TAX RATE
STATEMENT IN THE VOTER
INFORMATION GUIDE IS A GREAT
PLACE TO DO THIS IT CONTAINS A
LOT OF VERY.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
IF AB SIX TENNIS PASSED IT WILL
BE THE ONLY PLACE THAT I KNOW OF
IN THE LAW WHERE WE ARE
EXPRESSING -- PROPERTY VALUES
PER ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS RATHER
THAN ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
ASSESSED VALUATION VOTERS ARE
REQUIRED O DO BASIC MATH IN
EITHER CALCULATION AND TO
PRECISELY DETERMINE THE
ESTIMATED TAX INCREASE FOR THEIR
PARTICULAR PROPERTY VALUE.
UP BECAUSE OF THIS WE DON'T
BELIEVE THAT A THOUSAND DOLLARS
ACTUALLY IMPROVES THE
CALCULATION AND ANYWAY IT'S THE
EXACT SAME MATH PROBLEM -- YOU
KNOW FIVE CENTS PER ONE HUNDRED
DOLLARS UNDER CURRENT LAW OR
FIFTY CENTS PER THOUSAND DOLLARS
UNDER AB SIX TEN IT'S THE SAME
MOUTH.
ADDITIONALLY WE DO FEAR THAT
MAKING THIS CHANGE IN THE TAX
RATE STATEMENT COULD SET A
PRECEDENT AND PROP FUTURE
CHANGES ON THE BALLOT LABEL.
GIVEN THE CHALLENGES THAT
SCHOOLS AND OTHER LOCAL AGENCIES
ARE FACING IN IMPLEMENTING OTHER
RECENT ELECTIONS CODE CHANGES WE
DO FEAR THAT SIX TEN COULD
CREATE A SLIPPERY SLOPE.
AN EVEN MORE CHALLENGES IN
COMMUNICATING EFFECTIVELY WITH
OUR VOTERS ARE FOR THOSE REASONS
WE ARE POST THANK YOU THANK YOU
SO MUCH GRATEFUL.
GOOD MORNING FOR THIS LETTER
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS CHRISTY BAMA
THE OF THE CALIFORNIA
PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS I HAD
A GOOD SENSE THE PREVIOUS
WITNESS WOULD COVER ALL OF THE
ISSUES THAT WE ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT.
THE SEEMS TO INSERT VOTER
CONFUSION TO IS A TACTIC
TAXPAYERS MONEY TO CREATE A
DIFFERENT STANDARD FOR LOCAL
BALLOT MEASURES AND FOR TRYING
TO DO ADVOCACY MATH HERE WE
SHOULD JUST SAY IT -- SO WEIRD
OPPOSITION THIS BILL THANK YOU
SO MUCH THANK YOU BOTH OF YOU
WE'RE GONNA HAVE -- ONE OF YOU
HANGING LIKE WE TYPICALLY DO --
DURING COMMITTEE -- IN CASES
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS WE'RE NOW
GOING TO OPEN UP ANYONE ELSE WHO
MAY BE OPPOSED TO THE BILL IF
YOU COULD PLEASE COME FOR THIS
TIME.
LAST CALL FOR OPPOSITION.
ALL RIGHT WE'RE GONNA TURN IT
BACK.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER WOULD YOU LIKE TO
BE ABLE TO MAKE ANY COMMENTS
ABOUT WHAT WHAT HAS SAID AND
WILL OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR SO AGAIN --
IT'S EASY TO SAY THAT THIS
INCREASES VOTER CONFUSION NO ONE
HAS SAID WHY THEY FEEL THIS
INCREASES VOTER CONFUSION I
THINK THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE.
IT DECREASES VOTER CONFUSION.
THE ASSERTION WAS MADE THAT IS
THE SAME MATH PROBLEM WELL IT'S
ACTUALLY NOT YOU HAVE TO KNOW
WHAT NUMBERS TO PUSH ON THE
CALCULATOR IF YOU USING ONE AND
IF YOU CAN'T CONCEPTUALIZE.
WHAT NUMBERS TO PUSH THEN YOU
DON'T HAVE THE TOOLS THAT YOU
NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS
WOULD COST YOU?
BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY EVEN
IF WE ACCEPT THE FACT THAT IT'S
THE SAME MATH PROBLEM IN MY
BUSINESS.
WE HAVE.
A LOT OF DATA THAT -- THE THE
DETERMINES TO THAT WHEN WE HAVE
A NEW CUSTOMER AND WE'RE TRYING
TO CONVINCE THAT CUSTOMER TO BUY
OUR PRODUCTS EVERY STEP THAT WE
REQUIRE THAT CUSTOMER TO TAKE
MAKES IT LESS LIKELY THAT
THEY'RE GOING TO PURCHASE.
AND I THINK THAT'S THE SAME IS
TRUE IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS
WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.
HOW MUCH OF BOND ISSUE IS GOING
TO COST YOU SO EVEN IF?
A VOTER IN BOTH CASES KNEW
EXACTLY WHAT TO DO THEY WOULD
HAVE TO PUSH AN EXTRA BUTTON ON
THE CALCULATOR TO MAKETHE
CALCULATION UNDER THE CURRENT
STAY LOCKED.
DOWN UNDER THE PROPOSED CHANGES
MADE BY A. B..
SIX TEN AND ABOUT WHAT LEGAL
LASTLY JUST ONE LET ME JUST SAY
THAT -- THE MORE TRANSPARENCY
THAT WE HAVE WITH VOTERS I THINK --
THE BETTER -- PROBABLY ONE MORE
SEARCH THAT WAS MADE WAS THE THE
POINT THAT CURRENT STATE LAW
USUALLY EXPRESSES VALUATIONS IN
TERMS OF DOLLARS PER HUNDRED
DOLLARS AND THAT S TRUE THERE
ARE A COUPLE OF PLACES AND STATE
LAW THAT THAT'S TRUE.
BUT THAT I NOT A PUBLIC FACING
PORTION OF THE STATE LAW WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THE REQUIRED
BALLOT LANGUAGE AND SO IT'S
REALLY APPLES AND ORANGES TO SAY.
THAT -- WELL YOU KNOW WHAT WHAT
THE CONVENTION IS IN STATE LAW
AND WHAT WE PUT ON THE BALLOT
WE'RE TRYING TO BE AS
TRANSPARENT AS POSSIBLE SO I
HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS
BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
THAT ANYONE ELSE MIGHT HAVE.
YOU SO MUCH TO SOMEONE WE'D LIKE
TO GET OPEN UP FOR THE COMMITTEE
MISTER VICE CHAIR PLEASE
[inaudible]
SHARE -- I I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT
WAS IN THOUSANDS -- ALREADY FIVE
KIND OF FASCINATED BY THE BILL
THAT THAT IT THAT WERE SAYING
IT'S AN HUNDREDS -- BECAUSE MOST
OF THE REPORTS THAT WE PUT OUT
IS A GOVERNMENT -- WILL WILL
REFLECT THAT IS IS IN THOUSANDS
OF WILL DROP THREE THREE DIGITS --
BUT IOWA WHEN I WHEN I WAS
TREASURER I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR
ASSISTING THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
WITH THEIR BOND MEASURES.
AND SO YOU GET TO LEARN SOME OF
THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRETS AND I'M
SORRY SENATOR HERTZBERG ISN'T
HERE BUT IDEAS FOR BILLS YOU
KNOW -- WHAT WHAT USUALLY HAPPEN
IS BECAUSE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
HAD TO DO A BALLOT MEASURE THEY
COULDN'T SPEND THEIR OWN MONEY
TO ADD TO IT ANALYZE HOW TO PUT
THIS TOGETHER?
THE BOND TOGETHER SO USUALLY --
WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN MY COUNTY --
A BOND UNDERWRITER WOULD COME IN
AND AND THEY WOULD PAY FOR THE
POLLING AND THEY WOULD PAY FOR
ALL THE PRELIMINARY WORK AND
THEY WOULD THE AT THE POLLING
WOULD BE LIKE THIS -- DO YOU
THINK YOU COULD PAY TEN DOLLARS
PER.
THOUSAND OR TWENTY DOLLARS PER
THOUSAND OR THIRTY DOLLARS PER.
THOUSAND AND THEN THEY COME BACK
TO THE POLL RESULTS AND IT WOULD
SAY YOU KNOW THE MAGIC NUMBERS
EIGHTEEN DOLLARS PER THOUSAND SO
THEN THEY LOOK AT THAT SAYS
VALUE.
IN THE IN THE IN THE DISTRICT
IMAGE OKAY WE CAN DO A BOND
BASED ON EIGHTEEN TIMES THE
THOUSAND IN AND THEN THEY WOULD
COME UP WITH THE BOND AMOUNT
THAT THEY WOULD PUT ON THE
BALLOT.
BY THAT THAT POLLING DATA NOT BY
WHAT THEY NEEDED TO DO TO REPAIR
SCHOOLS ARE AT GYMS OR BUILD
TOOLS IT WAS BASED ON THIS
POLLING.
NUMBER.
AND I JUST THOUGHT OH MY
GOODNESS THE SIZING ISN'T EVEN.
BASED ON REAL HARD HARD DATA SO.
THEN THEN THE BOND WOULD PASS
AND THEN WHO GOT THE BUSINESS
BUT THE THE FIRM THAT DID ALL
THE POLLING ALL THE SO IT'S KIND
OF LIKE THIS COTTAGE INDUSTRY
THAT JUST KIND OF BLEW MY MIND.
AND I I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
EVEN.
WHERE WE SHOULD BE BUT I I THINK
THE IDEA OF STAYING UNIFORM WITH
THOUSANDS MAKES MUCH MORE SENSE
THAN HUNDREDS OR I THINK THE
BILL SHOULD EVEN DO BOTH WE
SHOULD PROVIDED?
AS A COST PER HUNDREDS AT A COST
PER THOUSAND SO WE CAN ASSIST
VOTERS WHEN THEY'RE MAKING THE
MAP DECISIONS IN.
THE POLLING PLACE OPEN BOTH SO
I'LL ALLAH A MOVE THE BILL BE
STRUCTURE THANK YOU SO MUCH.
CENTER MORE LOCK WOULD LIKE ME
TO SEE IF WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL.
COMMENTS QUESTIONS I WILL HAVE
SOME VERY BRIEF ITEMS COMMENTS
OR QUESTIONS.
UP WHAT I TAKE A MOMENT TO SAY
THANK YOU THIS SUMMER FOR ALL
THIS WORK -- ON THIS ISSUE.
AND IN THE SUMMER AND I HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A
CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS -- IN MY
ONLY WORDS WILL BE THIS IS AT
NUMBER ONE I HAVE NOT HEARD.
FROM VOTERS ON THE NORTH COAST
OR THE NORTH BAY AREA ABOUT
CONFUSION RELATED TO SCHOOL
BONDS.
IN FACT WHAT I SEE TIME AND TIME
AGAIN.
OUR VOTER STEPPING UP TO BE A
SUPPORT LOCAL SCHOOLS.
SO THIS IS AN ISSUE RELATED TO
CONFUSION I HAVE NOT SEEN BROAD
CONFUSION.
OTHER FOLKS THAT I WORK.
FOR RELATED TO SCHOOL BONDS
BEING ON A LOCAL BALLOT -- I
HAVE GREAT RESPECT IS A MEMBER I
AM GONNA BE OPPOSED TO THIS BILL
TODAY BUT I LIKE TO BETTER
TRAINED OVER TO THE SIM LIMóN.
AT FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU
MAY HAVE THE COMMITTEE AND OR
CLOSING STATEMENT IN AGAIN THANK
YOU SOME NUMBER FOR ALL OF YOUR
WORK THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR
YOUR WORK WITH ME ON THIS BILL
MISTER CHAIR -- AT THEPOINT OF
AB SIX TO AND IS TO REDUCE VOTER
CONFUSION AND MAKE VOTERS MORE
AWARE OF WHAT SOMETHING WOULD
COST THEM AND I THINK THAT
THAT'S A FAIR.
THING TO DO IF YOU HAVE
SOMETHING ELSE ON THE BALLOT
RIGHT NOW WE TELL THEM ABOUT ALL
THE GREAT THINGS THAT THAT MIGHT
DO THIS BILL IS GOING TO PROVIDE.
TWENTY SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS --
TO FOR NEW SCHOOL FACILITIES
CONSTRUCTION AND WE'RE GONNA
OPEN THIS NEW PROGRAM AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AND ALL
THESE THINGS AROUND THERE AND
THEN IT SAYS THIS IS WHAT IT'S
GOING TO COST PROPERTY TAXES
WILL HAVE TO BE INCREASED.
BY THIS ABOUT FOR THIS DURATION
AND SO I THINK IT'S FAIR TO
BALANCE THE GOOD WITH THE BAD
AND I THINK IF WE DO THAT WE
DON'T DECREASE.
THE CHANCES OF VOTERS WILL VOTE
FOR THIS WEEK INCREASE THE
CHANCES THE BORDERS OF OFFICE
WHEN WE TRY CONVERSELY TO SWEEP
THINGS UNDER THE RUG.
AND WE TRIED OBSCURE WHAT THINGS
ARE GONNA COST I THINK VOTERS
ARE MORE LIKELY TO VOTE NO IN
THE LITERATURE THAT YOU HAVE IN
FRONT OF YOU I THINK IT'S PROOF
OF THAT SO I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST DRIVE VOTE ON A. B. SIX
DOWN.
IN OUR THANK YOU SO MUCH THE
MOTION IS ON THE FLOOR THE

ELEVEN SIXTY TWO SOME
INDIVIDUALS THANK YOU VERY MUCH
MISS SHARED.
THE PROLIFERATION OF SINGLE USE
PLASTIC WASTE IS HAVING A
DEVASTATING IMPACT OUR
ENVIRONMENT AND OVERWHELMING
LANDFILLS.
THOSE TINY PLASTIC SHAMPOO
BOTTLES THAT ARE COMMON IN HOTEL
OOMS REPRESENT A SIZEABLE
AMOUNT OF WAYS THAT CAN BE
EASILY ELIMINATED MORE COST
EFFECTIVE.
AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
ALTERNATIVES.
SENATE BILL THAT IS SIXTY TWO
WOULD RESTRICT HOTELS AND OTHER
LODGING ESTABLISHES REPLACING
SMALL SINGLE USE BOTTLES OF
SHAMPOO CONDITIONER ABOUT SO.
IN GUEST ROOMS OR BATHROOMS BY
JANUARY TWENTY TWENTY THREE FOR
LARGE HOTELS AND JANUARY TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR HOTELS A FIFTY ROOMS
ARE LESS.
WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE FACT THAT
EACH ROOM CAN GENERATE UP TO ONE
THOUSAND TINY BOTTLES PER YEAR?
WHICH REALLY MEANS ABOUT A
HUNDRED WHICH REALLY MEANS
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF BOTTLES
A YEAR IN CALIFORNIA ALONE.
THE AMOUNT OF PLASTIC WASTE
DESTINED LANDFILLS ROOM WE ARE
REMOVING IS SIGNIFICANT.
ALSO IT IS NOT FEASIBLE.
THESE PASTA BOTTLES TO BE
MANAGED AND RECYCLE BECAUSE
THEIR SMALL SIZE AND THE
RESIDUAL PRODUCT LEFT IN THE
BOTTLES -- ON AVERAGE ONLY ABOUT
30% OF THE PRODUCT IS USED IN
EACH BOTTLE.
WHAT THE BILL PREMIUMS LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS GOING FORWARD FROM
ADOPTING ORDINANCES ON LODGING
ESTABLISHMENTS FOR PERSONAL CARE
PRODUCTS AND PLASTIC BOTTLES HAS
DEFINED THE BILL?
THIS IS JUSTIFIED BECAUSE THERE
IS VALUE IN A STATE STANDARD
THAT HOTEL BRANDS CAN COMPLY
WITH AND THERE'S AN EXPECTATION.
OTHER THEY CAN MEET RATHER THAN
HAVING FIFTY SIXTY DIFFERENT
RULES TO ABIDE BY.
THIS BILL HAS BROAD SUPPORT FROM
ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS AS WELL AS
THE PRIMARY INDUSTRY TRADE
ORGANIZATION THE CALIFORNIA
HOTEL AND LODGING ASSOCIATION.
WITH ME IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL

LOCAL ENVIRONMENT.
OUR NUMBER ONE LOCAL ECONOMY
COMPONENT IS TOURISM TOURISM
SPECIFICALLY ON THE COASTAL SIDE
OF CALIFORNIANS YOU KNOW PLASTIC
WASTE WATER WAYS AS WELL SABRINA
VARMINT.
IS PRETTY SIGNIFICANT WE THOUGHT
THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WE
COULD DO THAT WAS ACTIONABLE AND
REASONABLE -- WE HELP CRAFT A
BILL WITH THE ASSOCIATION THAT
WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD
WORK FOR THEM THAT WOULD REDUCE
THEIR COSTS AND ALSO HAVE A
REASONABLE TIME WHEN FOR
IMPLEMENTATION -- SOME OF THE
LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS ARE LOCAL
HOTELS HAVE ALREADY STARTED
IMPLEMENTING IT WITHIN OUR
COUNTY OF SAID THAT IT'S REDUCE
COSTS AND BEEN EASIER -- THING
FOR THEM TO MANAGE IT'S BEEN
NOTHING BUT SUCCESS OF OUR LOCAL
AND WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF SAID MY LEVEL.

LOOKING FOR LAST CALL.
NOW GOING TO TURN OVER THOSE WHO
MAY BE OPPOSED.
LAST CALL FOR OPPOSITION.
BRING TO BRING IT BACK TO
COMMITTEE THE BILL TO SEE IF WE
HAVE QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR
CONVERSATION CENTER TARA
[inaudible]
SO.
AIR I WANTED TO ASK IF WE HAVE A
A ANY IDEA IF THIS WILL COST ANY
IT.
IF THERE'S A COST TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS.
I DON'T BELIEVE THERE WILL BE
ANY COST IN ADDITION TO COST THE
ALREADY HAVE IN TERMS OF
PERMITTING AND AND APPROVAL I
MEAN THE WITH THE REALITY S
THAT -- THIS IS NOT TO AND AND
WE'VE BEEN VERY CLEAR -- AN
INTENTION OF HAVING LOCAL
GOVERNMENT OR ANY.
OF THE GOVERNMENT -- OFFICIAL
GOING INTO ROOMS AND AND LOOKING
UP TO SEE IF HOTELS ARE
COMPLYING OR NOT I THINK THIS IS
GONNA BE.
A BOTH A SELF POLICING AS WELL
AS CUSTOMER.
RECOGNITION MODEL CUSTOMERS WILL
KNOW WHETHER IS HAPPENING OR NOT
BUT THERE'S NO BELIEVE THAT'LL
BE A COST OF GOVERNMENT BECAUSE
A LOCAL GOVERNMENT IF THEY DO --
THE END UP HAVING A CITATION
BECAUSE CERTAINLY RECOVER THAT
COST WITH THE WITH THE
SUBSEQUENT VIOLATIONS.
AND DO WE HAVE ANY CLARIFICATION
ON IN TERMS OF WHETHER CHARTER
CITIES WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE
BILL'S BAN -- WITH THIS OF THIS
OF WITH APPLY TO OF THE ENTIRE
INDUSTRY WHETHER THEY'RE IN
CHARTER CITIES.
UNINCORPORATED I MEAN REALLY
IT'S A IT'S ACROSS THE BOARD
POLICY THAT WOULD SLOWLY PHASE
OUT THE USE OF SINGLE USE
PLASTIC.
OKAY AND THEN JUST -- TO JUST
CLARIFY THERE IS A A A A FEES
INVOLVED IN TERMS OF IF YOU'RE
FOUND -- IN VIOLATION OF THE BAN
IS THAT CORRECT THE IN THE IN
ITS INITIALLY A WARNING LETTER.
THAT WARNING THAT THAT'S THAT'S
THE INTENTION IS IS -- TO HAVE A
WARNING LETTER SENATE THE LOCAL
JURISDICTION -- DETERMINES THAT --
THERE'S A HOTEL THAT'S NON
COMPLIANCE -- BUT I THINK THE
FACT WE'RE WORKING WITH THE
INDUSTRY THE GOOD THING ABOUT
THATIS THAT GIVING THEM THE
THREE TO FOUR YEARS ALLOWS THE
INDUSTRY AS WELL AS THE
GOVERNMENT YOU KNOW THE THE
STATE AND THE INDUSTRY TOGETHER
TO GET THE WORD OUT. TO TO
HOTELS AND MOTELS AND MAKE SURE
THEY'RE IN COMPLIANCE AND THEY
NEED ASSISTANCE.
THE THE TO HAVE THEIR PRIMARY
TRADE GROUP IN SUPPORT I THINK
IS A REALLY GOOD POSITION TO BE
AND AND AND MANY PHOTOS ALREADY
MOVING THAT DIRECTION BUT THEN
THIS YEAR MARRIOTT.
BUT TO BE UNDER PROPERTIES NORTH
AMERICA ALREADY PAYS OUT OF
SINGLE USE PLASTIC AND SO IT'S
ALREADY THE DRUG TO THE INDUSTRY
PARTLY BECAUSE IT DOES SAVE THE
MONEY.
AND THE THREE TO FOUR YEAR LEAD
TIME TO GET THEM.
EVEN THE SMALLER OPERATORS TIME
OF THE FOUR YEARS WE GIVE
SMALLER OPERATORS THE TIME -- IN
A BASIN AND SO I THINK FOR TODAY
AND I'M GOING TO JUST LAY OFF
THE BILL JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO
BE ABLE TO DIG A LITTLE BIT MORE
INTO IT -- BUT YOU KNOW THAT
DOESN'T MEAN THAT I A WILL
OPPOSE OR SUPPORTED ON THE FLOOR
IF IF AND WHEN IT DOES GET THERE
BUT I JUST WANTEDTO PUT THAT
THERE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I
DO SOME MORE RESEARCH.
YOU KNOW LOOK INTO IT A BIT MORE
ON MY OWN AND THE IMPACTS ON ON
THE DISTRICT.
THE IN IT BUT I DON'T KNOW IF
THE IF YOU LIKE TO HEAR THE
SUPERVISOR TALK ABOUT THE LOCAL
IMPACT ANYMORE OR IF.
THAT BE HELPFUL AT ALL TO YOU
THOSE ARE ALL THE QUESTIONS I
HAVE FOR TODAY.
THANK YOU BECAUSE IT CENTER.
WHAT WHAT OF SAVING ON TWO ITEMS --
IN THEIR TURN OVER THE VICE
CHAIR I THINK ON THE ISSUE OF
CHARTER CITIES.
YES THERE'S A BELIEF I THINK
THAT IS A MEMBER WANTS TO BE AND
I DON'T EVER PUT WORDS IN THE
SOME MEMBERS MATH THAT BEING
EXPLICIT ON THAT ISSUE BECAUSE I
THINK THAT'S GONNA BE POURED I
THAT MAYBE.
SOME FURTHER CONVERSATION DOWN
THE ROAD AND I DO BELIEVE THAT
INDUSTRY WOULD SUPPORT THAT AS
WELL.
THAT'S CORRECT -- SO WE ARE
LOOKING AT YEAH A DECEPTIVE THE
CLARIFICATION MAKING SURE THAT'S
EXPLICIT.
BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IT'S
IMPORTANT AND AGAIN JUST WANTED
TO COME A MOMENT TO SAY THANK
YOU TO THIS IN THE REFER TACK ON
THIS ISSUE -- IN INCREASES IN
NUMBER BUT PUSH BACK ON THE IF
YOU THINK I'M INCORRECT I THINK
ON THE ISSUE OF WHY YOU'RE
LOOKING AT STATEWIDE IS TO BE
ABLE.
TO TRY TO BETTER YOU BRING IN A
FORMAL -- Là CRY SO THAT
EVERYONE BIG OR SMALL -- IS
SUBJECT TO THAT -- BUT THEY'RE
MOST LIKELY WON'T BE A WHOLE LOT
OF LOCAL ENFORCEMENT BUT TRYING
TO GET A STREAMLINED THAT AND I
WOULD.
CHARACTERIZE THE COST OF MINOR
YEAH -- IF NOT OBSERVABLE ACROSS
THE STATE.
THAT'S CORRECT POSTURE AND THE
THE UNIFORMITY IS CRITICAL
ESPECIALLY FOR THE INDUSTRY --
IMAGINE IF YOU HAVE ONE JUST SIX
AND THAT'S GOING TO BAN LOTION
ANOTHER ONE TO PAY IS ANOTHER
ONE IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A
DIFFERENT KIND OF DISPENSER THAN
THE ONE ACROSS THE STREET.
THE CITY ACROSS THE STREET.
AND THAT'S I THINK WHY WAS WILL
BE ABLE TO WORK SO WELL WITH
INDUSTRY IS AT THE RECOGNITION
THAT.
THAT -- YOU KNOW YOU HAVE THE
COUNTY OF SANTA CRUZ TAKE
LEADERSHIP.
OTHER CITIES COUNTIES MAY VERY
WELL FOLLOW I THINK HAVING A
UNIFORM WILL NOT ONLY GET THIS
IN PLACE MORE QUICKLY -- BUT
ACROSS THE BOARD BUT IT PREVENTS
THESE ONE OFFS WHICH WOULD MAKE
IT REALLY CHALLENGING FOR THE
INDUSTRY AND FRANKLY FOR THE
STATE. TO BE ABLE TO REGULATE
AND MONITOR IN A WAY THAT MAKES
SENSE FOR REDUCING THE PLASTIC
AS WELL AS BEING TOO ONEROUS FOR
THE INDUSTRY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR IN TURN
OVER THE VICE CHAIR MS VICE
CHAIR.
YOU.
FAIR SOMETIMES -- WE GET TO
WATCH INDUSTRY AND THEY'RE THE
KIND OF SELF REGULATE AND START
TAKING CARE OF THE CONCERNS OVER
HEARING TESTIMONY THAT THE MAJOR
CHAINS ARE.
ALREADY MOVING IN A CERTAIN
DIRECTION SO I'VE.
KIND OF WANT.
TO MAYBE HAS SOME.
SIMPLE QUESTIONS JUST SO THAT I
CAN ANSWER THEM WHEN I GET OUT
IN PUBLIC HERE -- THE FIRST IS
IF IF THEY'RE VOLUNTARILY.
MAKING GREAT MOVES OUT WHY THE
NEED FOR THE BILL.
I THINK THAT THAT'S A GREAT
QUESTION I THINK PART OF IT IS
THAT YES THE INDUSTRY IS MOVING
IN THAT DIRECTION INDUSTRY HAS
TENDED TO BE A FOR THINKING WHEN
IT COMES IN BY MAIL ISSUES.
HOWEVER A THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE
A UNIFORM RULE THAT PUTS A TIME
LINE IN PLACE THAT'S ACCOUNTABLE
TIMELINE FOR THE INDUSTRY IN
ORDER TO GET BOTH THE LARGEST
MOTELS.
ON BOARD -- IT IN FRANKLY IT'S
AS IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT IF THE
INDUSTRY WASN'T GOING IN THAT
DIRECTION FOLKS SAY WELL WHY YOU
PUSHING INDUSTRY THAT'S NOT
READY YET.
WHAT INDUSTRY SHOWS AND IS READY
I THINK THIS IS ACTUALLY THE
OPPORTUNE TIME FOR US TO PUT IN
A STATE RULE THAT'S UNIFORM --
AND AGAIN I THINK THAT IT WOULD
BE.
A REALLY -- BACK.
TO THE VERY CHALLENGING FOR THE
INDUSTRY IF YOU START GETTING TO
AT TEN TWENTY THIRTY ORDINANCES
AND SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE
TIMING IS ACTUALLY PERFECT IN
THAT SENSE.
BECAUSE SINCE THE INDUSTRY'S
ALREADY MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION
IF WE DO NOTHING.
THE NEXT FIVE YEARS I CAN ALMST
GUARANTEE THEY'LL BE AT LEAST A
DOZEN DIFFERENT LOCAL ORDINANCES
IN PLACE THEN THE INDUSTRY TO
COME TO US TO SAY CAN YOU JUST
MAKE A UNIFORM RULE.
AND THE WILL HAVE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS SAYING WAIT A
SECOND YOU TAKE MY LOCAL
PREEMPTION RATCHET GETTING AHEAD
OF THAT BY MAKING A UNIFORM RULE
ACROSS THE STATE RIGHT NOW.
SO THAT OTHER JURISDICTIONS
DON'T EVEN HAVE TO LOOK AT THE
ISSUE THEY ALREADY KNOW THEY'RE
DOING THAT THAT THE STATE IS
ALREADY WORKING ON PHASING OUT
THIS PLASTIC.
AND I THINK IT PUTS US IN A
POSITION WHERE.
INDUSTRY WE'RE DOING WHAT'S
RIGHT RIGHT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THE INDUSTRY IN
TERMS OF REDUCING THEIR COSTS
BUT ALSO.
PREVENTS -- THE THIRTY DIFFERENT
RULES FOR INDUSTRY DATA BYE BYE --
WHEN -- HOTEL GUESTS ARRIVED
THERE USED TO ALWAYS LITTLE BOND
YEAH.
OTHER GOING TO GET.
DISPENSERS TYPICALLY WILL BE
DISPENSERS AND OTHER ACTION I'VE
BEEN TO A NUMBER OF HOTELS ARE
TRAVEL WERE YOU SEE DISPENSERS
THAT ARE IN PLACE THERE SECURE
THEIR SAFE -- THEIR BILLABLE IN
A SAFE MANNER AND BY THE WAY --
THE LITTLE BOTTLES ARE STILL
AVAILABLE AT THE FRONT DESK --
IN SO IF THE HOTEL WNTS TO MAKE
THE OFFER THEM AT THE FRONT DESK
FOR FOR THOSE I STILL WANT. TO
HAVE THEM THEY CAN ORDER THEIR
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES THAT
FOR SOME REASON CAN'T USE A
DISPENSER THE MAYBE THE ROOM
THERE THE THOSE OPTIONS ALSO BE
AVAILABLE AND THOSE TO BE ABLE
TO SELL.
LITTLE BOTTLES AT THE HOTEL SHOP
AS WELL AS JUST INSIDE THE
ACTUAL BATHROOM OF THE ROOMS.
YOU'RE A GREAT LAST QUESTION --
A BABY LIKE SQUEEZE TUBES LIKE
YOU KNOW WE GET LITTLE LIKE.
MUSTARD AND KETCHUP.
FOR AT FAST FOODS BUT IF WE GET
SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER AND
TUBES THAT CREATE ANOTHER
PROBLEM OR OR ORDERS
DISPENSARIES PROBABLY THE MOST
LIKELY ROUTE THAT MOST OF THESE
HOTELS ARE GOING TO TAKE I THINK
IT'S TO SPENCER BECAUSE OF IT'S
UNLIKELY THE INDUSTRIES IS GOING
TO GO TO ANOTHER.
SMALL.
ITEM BECAUSE IT'S NOT GONNA SAY
THE MANY MONEY.
AND IT'S NOT GONNA BE PRACTICAL
FOR THEM I THINK THE PRACTICAL
MOVE IS TO GO IN THE DIRECTION
WHERE THEY HAD THESE DISPENSERS
AND MANY OF THOSE KEYS TUBES ARE
PLASTIC AS WELL AS THEY WOULDN'T
COMPLY.
WITH -- WITH THIS PARTICULAR
BILL SO THAT OUR PAPER OPTIONS
ARE SOMETIMES ARE SOAPS THERE IN
PAPER AND ALL THAT THAT'S FINE
SO THOSE WILL BE OPTIONS -- FOR
THE HOTELS AND I'VE ACTUALLY
BEEN SEEN -- IN A HOTEL
RELATIVELY RECENTLY IS CISCO
WHERE THEY HAD LARGER --
DISPENSERS OR LARGER BOTTLES ARE
SECURED AND THEN THEY HAD A
LITTLE SIGN MARKETING THE
PRODUCTS THAT HELP YOU REALLY
LIKE THIS PRODUCT THERE FOR SALE
FOR TWELVE DOLLARS A BOTTLE TEN
ARE YOU.
WILL BRING A TEAR ROOM SO --
THERE SO OPPORTUNITIES FOR VOTE
FOR THE COMP THE PERSONAL CARE
COMPANIES TO MARKET THEIR
PRODUCTS AS WELL.
THANK YOU THANK FOR MUCH SERVER
CALLER THINKING.
THANK YOU MISTER VICE CHAIR LOOK
AT LOOK AT THIS AS WE TOOK WE IS
THE STATE TOOK THE WRONG
APPROACH WHEN IT COMES TO
PLASTIC BAGS -- WE DIDN'T HAVE A
BACKBONE TO BE ABLE TO BAN
PLASTIC BAGS.
AND THEN LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO
TAKE THE LEAD AND IT TOOK NEARLY
A DECADE IN BILLIONS OF PLASTIC
BAGS BILL TO GET OUR ACT
TOGETHER -- AND LOOK AT THIS AS
PUT IN THE WORK IN THE FRONT END
WORKING COLLABORATIVE THE
INDUSTRY AND VICE VERSA GIVE IT
A LOOK AND ESTABLISH LAW -- THAT
IS UNIFORM ACROSS.
THE STATE.
THANKS TO LEADERSHIP -- IN SANTA
CRUZ A VERY GRATEFUL FOR TAKEN

THINK IT IS A MEMBER. FOR ALL OF
HIS EFFORT HOW COULD THIS IS NOT
BEEN EASY -- IN LATELY WE'RE
USING WHAT'S THE NUMBER OF
PLASTIC BOTTLES ARE BEING USED
ACROSS THE STATE RIGHT NOW BUT
IT'S IT'S HARD TO TELL AS
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS CAUSES BY
ASSN IS A THOUSAND PER HOTEL
ROOM FOR YEARS THE AVERAGE.
GO AHEAD CAN MAKE A SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCE IN DO APPRECIATE THAT

MODE PROVIDES ACCESS TO ITS OWN
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY -- WE
DEVOTE STAFF TIME -- WE PROVIDE
CRITICAL FIELD TESTING

THE PRODUCT THAT WE NEED
COMPANIES THAT WE PARTNER WITH

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEIR PRODUCT.
BY MARKETING THESE PRODUCTS AND
SERVICES TO OTHER UTILITIES
AROUND THE COUNTRY.
AT A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL
PROFIT TO THEM BUT NOT
NECESSARILY SMARTER JUST MUCH
CUSTOMERS. FOR INSTANCE SEVERAL
SEVERAL YEARS AGO WE INVESTED
TIME AND EFFORT WITH A COMPANY

SUBSEQUENTLY -- TO THAT THAT
ASSISTANCE FROM SMUD AND THAT
COMPANY WAS ACQUIRED AND SOLD
FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
IF WE HAD NEGOTIATED NON STOCK

WE'RE GONNA MAKE THESE
INVESTMENTS -- IN ORDER TO MEET
SOME OF THE STATE'S CLEAN ENERGY
MANDATES -- AND THIS WILL RESULT
IN INCREASES OF RATES TO OUR

YOUNG INNOVATIVE COMPANIES HELPS
REDUCE THE RISK OF NEW START UP
INVESTMENTS.
THAT WILL ATTRACT MORE INVESTORS
LIKE DB ALL PARTNERS AND CREATE
THOUSANDS OF JOBS AS WE'VE SEEN
IN THE SOLAR INDUSTRY.
WHEN YOUNG START UPS ARE
PARTNERING WITH UTILITIES AND
OTHERS TO REFINE THEIR
TECHNOLOGIES AND PRODUCTS IT IS
OFTEN DIFFICULT TO AGREE TO
ROYALTY AGREEMENTS?
AS THOSE CAN HAMPER FUTURE
GROWTH.
HOWEVER THE PROBE THE OPTIONS
PROVIDED UNDER AB SIX EIGHTY
NINE WOULD MAKE IT EASIER FOR
SMUD AND START UP COMPANIES TO
FORM STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS.
THAT COULD LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT
TECHNOLOGICAL AND PRODUCT
ADVANCES.
THE B. L. PARTNERS LOOKS FORWARD

LAST CALL FOR OPPOSITION.
BRING IT BACK TO COMMITTEE TO
RECEIVE ANY QUESTIONS ARE
CONVERSATIONS THE DEVICE YOU'RE
PLEASE.
MATURE I ENTRY I'M INTRIGUED BY
THIS BUT I'M ALSO CONCERNED
ABOUT.
IN THIS PALACE GOING OUTSIDE OF
THEIR BASIC CORE BUSINESS I AM.
IN FACT -- MAYBE ASK MISTER
ROSSIN A COUPLE QUICK QUESTIONS
YOU.
MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT YOU ARE
AND CALPERS.
YES AT DO YOU HAVE A FOR A ONE A
THAT YOU CAN INVEST IN FOR YOUR
EMPLOYEES THAT -- ABOVE AND
BEYOND THE DB PLAN. FOR A FOUR
ONE K. S. MONDAY ALLOWS OR ONE A
FOR ME IS PROUD OF DONE JUST
THAT.
I BELIEVE THA'S TRUE I'M NOT A
I'M NOT SURE SPECIFICALLY ON
THAT.
YOU'RE NOT IN IT -- DRUG A LOT
OF MUNICIPALITIES ALSO OFFER A
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN THAT
THEY CAN.
INVEST IN I HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF
THEIR PAY CHECK GO OUT EVERY
EVERY EVERY EVERY PAY PERIOD --
BECAUSE I WAS THINKING PROBABLY
THE IDEAS THAT ARE BEING
GENERATED ARE BEING GENERATED BY
YOUR EMPLOYEES IS THAT CORRECT.
SEC SOME OF THE IDEAS THAT ARE
GENERATED BY SMALL EMPLOYEES WE
USED -- TO HELP THESE COMPANIES
GET THEIR PRODUCTS COMMERCIALLY
READY.
YES.
I'M JUST WONDERING IF -- IF IF
YOU WOULD YOU WOULD BE LIMITED
TO NON STOCK -- SECURITIES IF
YOU DID IT INSIDE YOUR DEFINED
CONTRIBUTION PLAN.
YOU CAN OWN STOCK YOU COULD
ACTUALLY.
MAKE IT PART OF YOUR PRIVATE
EQUITY PORTFOLIO YOU CAN WORK
WITH.
B. B. L. PARTNERS AND AND AND
OWN ACTUAL SHARES AND BENEFIT
THE EMPLOYEES WOULD BENEFIT IN
THEIR IN THEIR PRIVATE JOB.
YOU KNOW DEFINED CONTRIBUTION
PLANS AND THAT'S THAT'S RIGHT
SHE IS -- IS A SPACE WHERE THIS
WOULD BE A LOT OF FUN AND IN IF
THE RATE IT WITH THE RATES --
THAT THE UTILITIES MIGHT GET ALL
WE ALWAYS REDUCE THE
CONTRIBUTION TO THE THE DEFINED
CONTRIBUTION PLAN DID THEN
TRANSFER SOME SAVINGS ON THE
TAXPAYERS OF THE RATEPAYERS.
SO THAT WAS SORT OF THE SPACE
THAT I YEAH I SAW -- THE SEVEN
FORTY THROUGH THE CHAIR MAYBE I
CAN ADDRESS THAT TOO I THINK THE
GOAL IT WHAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT IS IS THE NOTION WELL WHAT
THIS BILL IS ABOUT IS THAT.
ALLOWING THEM TO MAXIMIZING
THEIR CURRENT PARTNERSHIPS WITH
WHERE THERE IS NONE AND SO
WHETHER USING THOSE MONIES TO
HELP THE RATE PAYERS LOWER
POTENTIAL RATE INCREASES IN THE
FUTURE.
OR FOR THEIR YOU KNOW LONG TERM
FIXED COSTS LIKE RETIREMENT
HEALTH IT'S ALL PART OF THAT
SAME.
POOL YOU KNOW SMART HAS COST.
FURTHER ENERGY PROCUREMENT
FURTHER TRANSMISSION LINES FOR
THE WHOLE WORKS AND THEIR
EMPLOYEES AND SO.
I THINK IT'S KIND OF PART PARCEL
THAT IT'S A PACKAGE.
THAT WILL HAVE THIS BENEFIT TO
THE TO THE MUNICIPAL UTILITY
DISTRICT WHETHER IT'S THAT
RETIREMENT OR THIS OTHER PIECE
I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S NECESSARY.
I JUST PROVIDED.
OKAY A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH
GOVERNMENTS GETTING INVOLVED IN.
TRANSACTION SO I'M JUST TRYING
TO FIND MY COMFORT ZONE.
THANK YOU MISTER JOE THANK YOU
SO MUCH.
INDIA OF THE DECEMBER COMING ON
THIS I THINK THAT -- WITH THE
WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH
ASSEMBLY MEMBER HIS OFFICE ON
RATE PAYER PROTECTION RIGHT --
SO ALLOWING THESE INVESTMENTS TO
BE ABLE TO PROCEED.
ENSURING THAT THOSE WHO ARE RATE
PAYERS -- ARE PROTECTED AS WELL
AND I THINK THAT THE AMENDMENTS
ALSO STRIKE THAT BALANCE
CRITICALLY BEING A PUBLIC AGENCY
I DON'T KNOW IF.
THE STATE REPRESENTATIVE WOULD
LIKE TO BE A TALK ABOUT DATA
THIS IN THERE BECAUSE I THINK
THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO STRIKE
THAT BALANCE TO ALLOW FOR THE
INNOVATION.
IN TO FLOURISH WHILE ALSO SINCE
THE PUBLIC ENTITY PROTECTING THE
REPAIRS.
YEAH I THINK THERE ARE SEVERAL
SAFEGUARDS IN YOUR FROM THIS
COMMITTEE IN THE PRIOR ONE AND
ONE IS A PILOT FOR FIVE YEARS.
YOU KNOW WE LIMIT THE NUMBER OF
THESE WE CAN DO AT THREE AND A
LIMIT THE THE AMOUNT SO NO MORE
THAN 3% OF THE DISTRICT'S ANNUAL
REVENUE SO.
CAN BE SOME MASSIVE PROJECT IS
GONNA.
A NO LEVERAGE AND ANY PARTY SO I
THINK THIS IS YOU KNOW A FAIR
OPPORTUNITY TO DELVE INTO THIS
SPACE WHICH AGAIN.
OUR INVESTOR OWNED UTILITIES
CURRENTLY DO AND THAT BENEFITS
SHAREHOLDERS AND SO.
WHY NOT HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF
BENEFIT TO TAXPAYERS WERE PART
OF THIS MISCIBLE DISTRICT?
THANK YOU SENATE PLEASE IF I
COULD JUST ADD ONE OTHER THING
TO IN A MINUTE WE TOOK IN THE
ASSEMBLY.
REQUIRES OUR BOARD TO ESTABLISH
PROCEDURES AND DO CERTAIN
ACTIONS TO BRING TRANSPARENCY TO
THESE ACTIVITIES -- THAT ALSO
PROVIDES -- SOME -- REPAIR
PROTECTION AND SOME VISIBILITY
INTO POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF
INTEREST RELATED ISSUES.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS.

AS WELL AS YOUR YOUR TEAM'S
GREAT WORK AND REALLY -- HAPPY
ABOUT THE COMPROMISE WE ABLE TO
FIGHT AS YOU KNOW WITH THE STATE
IS FACING IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
CRISIS IN -- TWENTY FOURTEEN I
WAS ABLE TO GET AB TWENTY ONE
THIRTY FIVE SIGNED INTO LAW
WHICH ALSO AMENDED THE SURPLUS
LAND ACT.
HE GAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPERS OF FIRST RIGHT OF
REFUSAL FOR SURPLUS PUBLIC LANDS.
UNFORTUNATELY THE SECOND BUT LAW
WENT INTO A FACT PEOPLE TRY TO
CIRCUMVENT A WE HAVE A SITUATION
THE CITY OF OAKLAND THAT WENT TO
A PRIVATE DEVELOPER SAID ABOUT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPER.
CIRCUMVENT THAT ENTIRE PROCESS
WE HAVE THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
CREATING A HEALTH DISTRICT WHAT
THEY PROPOSED TO BUILD SENIOR
HOUSING BUT NO AFFORDABLE
HOUSING SO.
THE THE AGAIN THAT.
THE LAWS OF STATED NOW SAYS THAT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS
HAVE TO GET THAT FIRST RIGHT OF
REFUSAL YOU DON'T HAVE TO SELL
IT TO THEM.
BUT THEY AT LEAST HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO NEGOTIATE WITH
THAT GOVERNMENT AGENCY TO GO GET.
THAT PROPERTY -- WHAT AB
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SIX DOES IT
CLARIFIES THIS PROVISION OF
SURPLUS LAND AS WELL AS THE
DEFINITION OF SURPLUS LAND?
IT ALSO CREATES A STATEWIDE
DATABASE OF LOCAL SURPLUS PLANTS.
IT ALSO LEVERAGES OUR HOUSING
ELEMENT LAW TO PROMOTE IN USE --
BUT THE AND THE USE OF THE
SURPLUS LAND ACTS SO WITH THAT
WE HAVE -- TO GREAT WITH THIS
SPOKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF S. BY
THE A. B..
FORTY SIX THANK YOU SO MUCH AS
SOMEONE WE'RE GONNA ASK OUR
WITNESSES TO PLEASE KEEP YOUR
COMMENTS TWO MINUTES WE WELCOME
YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO KEEP HIS.
ALL RIGHT AT FIRST MY SAME
ORGANIZATION WE WELCOME YOU

HOUSING ORGANIZATION IT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING ADVOCACY
ORGANIZATION CELEBRATING OUR
FORTIETH YEAR.
AND OUR MISSION IS TO SEE A BAY
AREA WHERE EVERYONE HAS AN
AFFORDABLE PLACE TO CALL HOME.
WE ARE HERE TO THE IS PROUD CO
SPONSORS OF AB.
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SIX IT IS
ACTUALLY POSSIBLE TO HAVE A
CALIFORNIA WHERE EVERYONE HAS AN
AFFORDABLE PLACE TO LIVE AND
PUBLICLY ON LAND COULD PLAY A
CRITICAL ROLE IN MAKING THAT
HAPPEN.
AB FOURTEEN EIGHTY SIX WILL HELP
ENSURE THAT THOUSANDS OF ACRES
OF PUBLICLY OWNED LAND UP LIKE
BACON OR PARKING LOTS CAN BE
PRIORITIZED TO BENEFIT LOW
INCOME CALIFORNIANS THROUGHOUT
THE STATE.
THE WAY IT WILL DO THAT IS BY
CLARIFYING AND STRENGTHENING
CALIFORNIA SURPLUS LAND OCT.
THIS IS A FIFTY YEAR OLD LAW
WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO ENSURE THAT
SURPLUS PUBLIC LAND IS USED FOR
THE PUBLIC CRIED.
BY FROM BY PRIORITIZING THE LAND
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT.
MANY PRACTICAL OBSTACLES EXIST
TO ACTUALLY ENFORCING THE
SURPLUS LAND ACT WHICH THIS BILL
WILL HELP CORRECTIVE INCLUDING.
CREATING A STATEWIDE DATABASE OF
PUBLICLY OWNED LAND TO HELP US
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS SURPLUS AND
WHAT IS NOT.
CLARIFY WHAT IS SURPLUS WHAT IS
NOT AND IMPROVING THE
ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW BY GIVING
A TO THE OVERSIGHT OVER IT.
WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THE
THOUGHTFUL AND DILIGENT WORK BY
YOUR COMMITTEE STAFF OVER ON
THIS BILL OVER THE PAST TWO
YEARS A TWO WEEKS.
AND WE BELIEVE THAT THE SIXTY
PLUS AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN
INCORPORATED HAVE ACTUALLY
GREATLY STRENGTHEN THE BILL --
AND SO WE THOUGHT WE WOULD LIKE
FOR WE WOULD LIKE TO
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR AYE
FOR TODAY SO THAT THE STATE CAN.
CAN LIVE UP TO ITS PROMISE THAT
IT MADE OVER FIFTY YEARS AGO THE
PUBLIC LAND TO BENEFIT THE
PUBLIC GOOD THANK YOU FOR YOUR

MA'AM -- WE WELCOME YOU THANK

I'M THE ADVOCACY MANAGER FOR E.
H. HOUSING.
WE'RE A FIFTY ONE YEAR OLD
NONPROFIT DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
BASED IN THE NORTH BAY WE HAVE
ABOUT A HUNDRED AND TEN
PROPERTIES THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA
HAWAII.
AND WE SERVE ABOUT TWENTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE IN OUR NINE
THOUSAND HOUSING UNITS SO LOTS
OF EXPERIENCE WITH DEVELOPING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE NEXT MONEY
IS OBTAINING LAND -- IT'S
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT THAT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS
HAVE THE SPACE TO BE ABLE TO
COMPETE. FOR PUBLIC SLASH
SURPLUS LANDS AND HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SOLID
PROPOSALS THAT WILL BENEFIT THE
COMMUNITY.
IT WILL RELIEVE BLIGHT HELP
DEVELOP UNDERSERVED RURAL
COMMUNITIES AND REDUCE THE STATE
WIDE HOUSING GAP.
AND IN ADDITION TO THAT
PROVIDING REVENUE -- TO
GOVERNMENT LANDOWNERS.
A GOOD EXAMPLE OF A WIN WIN THAT
WE'VE ENGAGED IN IS OUR PROJECT
AT HAMILTON MEADOWS IN NEVADA --
THAT WAS BUILT ON THE DE
COMMISSIONED HAMILTON AIRFORCE
BASE WE DEVELOP THE SITE INTO A
LOVELY FAMILY PERMANENT SUPPORT
HOUSING PROJECT WITH A HUNDRED
AND ONE UNITS.
SOME OF WHICH ARE FOR PEOPLE
WITH HIV AIDS.
ALSO AT HAMILTON WE DEVELOPED
EIGHTY TO SUBSIDIZE
HOMEOWNERSHIP UNITS.
ARE MORE RURAL EXAMPLE -- IS A
PROJECT THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY
GOING ON THE OLD FORT ORD BASE --
WE HAVE AN ALLOCATION OF THE
STATE VETERANS HOUSING FANS AND
WE'RE EXPECTING TO DEVELOP A
HOUSING THERE FOR ABOUT.
SEVENTY ONE A HOMELESS VETERANS --

TWO MINUTES WE WELCOME IF YOU
DON'T MIND GIVING US YOUR FIRST
LAST ORGANIZATION -- ESPECIALLY
THIS WHO'S GONNA KICK US OFF.
SPECIAL DISTRICTS READ ROLE
RIGHT FLOOR SURE SIR WELCOME THE
OF TWO MINUTES.
WHERE MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS
ROUNDED BOSSY WITH THE
CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICTS
ASSOCIATION OF FIRST OF ALL I'D
LIKE TO THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR
THE?
VERY THOROUGH ANALYSIS AS WELL
AS THE HARD WORKING AMENDMENTS
TO A. B. FOURTEEN EIGHTY SIX
THAT ACTUALLY DO RESOLVE SOME OF
OUR CONCERNS WITH THE BILL.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE
AMENDMENTS TAKEN THE FIRST HOUSE
TO REMOVE LEASES FROM THE BILL
WERE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT AND
RESOLVE THE CONCERNS FOR MANY
SPECIAL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE
STATE.
HOWEVER WE ARE WE DO REMAIN
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THE BILL
UNTIL IT HAS BEEN AMENDED TO
EXAMPLE AND THAT SPECIAL
DISTRICTS NEED TO FILTER PUBLIC
PURPOSES.
THE BILL EVEN AS PROPOSED TO BE
AMENDED WOULD ONLY EXAMPLE AND
HAS BEEN USED BY THE AGENCY FOR
ITS OPERATIONS.
SPECIAL DISTRICTS FREQUENTLY
SELL LAND TO THIRD PARTIES IN
ORDER TO PROVIDE A PUBLIC
BENEFIT.
OR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.
AS WRITTEN THE BILL WOULD MAKE
THESE LAND LAND TRANSFER SUBJECT
TO THE SURPLUS LANDS ACT.
AND IN A MOMENT MY COLLEAGUE
WITH THE HEALTH CARE DISTRICTS
WILL PROVIDE SOME EXAMPLES OF
CRITICALLY NEEDED EXEMPTIONS.
ARTS SECOND CONCERT REMAINING
CONCERN WITH THE BILL IS THAT AB
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SIX WOULD MAKE
IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR AGENCIES
TO NEGOTIATE.
AND GET THE FAIR MARKET VALUE
FOR THEIR LAND.
THE BILL WOULD ALSO REQUIRE
AGENCIES TO SEND OUT NOTICES
NOTICES AVAILABILITY PRIOR TO
PARTICIPATING NEGOTIATIONS.
THE BILL UNFORTUNATELY DOES NOT
PROVIDE A HELPFUL DEFINITION OF
NEGOTIATIONS AND IS THIS LACK OF
A BRIGHT LINE THAT WILL CONFUSE
AGENCIES ATTEMPTING TO COMPLY
WITH THE SURPLUS LANDS ACT.
I DON'T FLAT THIS IS
PARTICULARLY OF CONCERN AS AB
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SIX PENALIZES
AGENCIES WHO FAIL TO COMPLY WITH
THE SURPLUS LANDS ACT.
AS PROPOSED TO BE AMENDED
AGENCIES IN VIOLATION WOULD PAY
A FINE OF UP 250% OF THE LAND'S
VALUE.
THIS IS INCREDIBLY PUNITIVE AND
EXPOSE A SMALL SPECIAL DISTRICTS
THE RISK OF INSOLVENCY IF
THEY'RE UNABLE TO PAY THE FINE.
MORE LIKELY THESE PROVISIONS
WILL SIMPLY DETERMINE YOU
SPECIAL DISTRICTS FROM DISPOSING
OF THE LAND AT ALL RATHER THAN
RISKING THE PENALTIES IMPOSED BY
THE BILL.
THE SELECTION LEAD TO LESS
PUBLIC LAND BEING DEVELOPED FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING ACROSS THE
STATE. FOR THESE REASONS WE DO
REMAIN RESPECTFULLY OPPOSED AB
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SIX THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH A VERY
GRATEFUL FOR THAT DISCONTENT AT
NOT AT ALL BE RUDE YOU HAVE TO
GO VOTE EDUCATION.
ON YOUR TURN THE GAVEL OVER TO
THE GOOD SENATOR FROM ORANGE
COUNTY.
AND WE'RE GOING TO TRACK DOWN
SENATOR HERTZBERG -- AS WE ARE
IN NEED HIM TO COME VOTE AS WELL.
I APOLOGIZE THE FLOOR IS YOURS
TWO MINUTES IN A I DON'T MEAN TO
WALK OUT ON YOU THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS.
IN BREAKING WITH THE ASSOCIATION
OF CALIFORNIA HEALTHCARE
DISTRICTS ALSO HERE.
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED
UNFORTUNATELY THE AMENDMENTS
THAT WOULD SPECIFICALLY REMOVE
OUR OPPOSITION WERE NOT INCLUDED
IN THE AMENDMENTS THAT ARE
BEFORE YOU TODAY.
I HEALTHCARE DISTRICTS ARE
FAIRLY UNIQUE AS MOST SPECIAL
DISTRICTS ARE HEALTHCARE
DISTRICTS TEND TO SELL OR LEASE
THEIR LAND SPECIFICALLY FOR
HEALTHCARE PURPOSES THAT ARE
NEEDED IN THEIR COMMUNITY.
I'M FOR EXAMPLE WE DO HAVE A
DISTRICT IN MOUNTAIN VIEW THAT
HAS A PIECE OF LAND THAT THEY
ARE CONSIDERING IN THE FUTURE
BUILDING A HOSPITAL ON IF AND
THEY DON'T DO THAT THEY HAVE HAD
INTEREST FROM OTHER HEALTHCARE
ENTITIES.
IN OUR COMMUNITY THAT WOULD ALSO
LIKE TO BUILD A HOSPITAL THIS
BILL WOULD REQUIRE THEM TO FIRST
OFF RIVER HOUSING AND GO THROUGH
THE LONGER PROCESS IN ORDER FOR
THEM TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE
THEY CAN THEN NEGOTIATE WITH
ANOTHER PUBLIC ENTITY OR ANOTHER
HEALTHCARE ANTI. TO BUILD THE
HOSPITAL -- ADDITIONALLY A LOT
OF OUR DISTRICTS INCLUDE NON
MONETARY CLAUSES IN THEIR LEASES
AND IN THEIR SALES ON THEIR LAND
TO ENSURE THAT THE SPECIFIC
HEALTH CARE.
REQUIREMENTS -- ON THAT SITE
REMAIN.
AND ADDITIONALLY WERE CONCERNED
WITH THE DEFINITION OF PUBLIC
USE CURRENT IN THE CURRENT
AMENDMENTS.
AND THE BILL WOULD EXCLUDE.
LAND THAT'S USED FOR RETAIL OR
OFFICE DEVELOPMENT MANY OF OUR
DISTRICTS HAVE AND MEDICAL
OFFICE BUILDINGS THEY HAVE
RETAIL PHARMACIES THAT ARE ON
THEIR SITES.
THEY ALSO RECEIVE A PROFIT SOME
OF THEM DO -- SOME OF TEM ALSO --
OFFER THEIR LAND.
AND BELOW MARKET VALUE TO ENSURE
ACCESS TO SPECIFIC SERVICES BUT
THOSE THAT DO YOU HAVE A PROFIT
THOSE.
PROFITS AND THEN FIND THE REST
OF THEIR MISSION SO THE
ADDITIONAL HEALTH SERVICES THAT
THEY PROVIDE TO THEIR
CONSTITUENTS FOR FREE.
THOSE ARE PROVIDED BECAUSE OF
THEIR PROFITS AND SO THIS BILL
WOULD EXCLUDE IN THOSE LANDS AS
SURPLUS LANDS.
I'M AND THEN LASTLY I JUST WANT
TO POINT OUT THAT THE EXPANDED
DEFINITION IN LOCAL AGENCY
THAT'S IN THE BILL THAT WOULD
APPLY TO OUR PUBLIC AND
DISTRICTS THAT HAVE THAT LOCAL
THEM TH HAVE NONPROFITS
ATTACHED TO THEM AND WE HAVE A
NUMBER OF THIS DISTRICTS THAT
HAVE A NONPROFIT.
THIS BILL WOULD THEN REQUIRE
THOSE NONPROFITS TO COMPLY WITH
THE SURPLUS LAND ACT AND AND FOR
THOSE REASONS WE WOULD URGE AND
ABOUT THANK YOU.
YOU ARE THERE ANY OTHER
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
PATRICK WELL TO THE CALIFORNIA
MUNICIPAL UTILITIES CESSATION

COMMITTEE ANY QUESTIONS SENATOR
WIENER -- AND MOVE THE BILL --
OUR THANK THE AUTHOR FOR HIS
WORK IN ANOTHER.
SEVERAL OTHER SURPLUS LANDS --
BILLS ARE GONNA BE I KNOW
WORKING ON THEM AND HOUSING
COMMITTEE AND I KNOW WILL.
IF NOT NOW THEN OVER THE SUMMER
WILL HARMONIZE EVERYTHING -- I I
THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE
MAKE OPTIMAL USE OF THIS VERY
LIMITED RESOURCE THAT WE HAVE IN
CALIFORNIA LANDS AND WE HAVE A
LOT OF PUBLIC AGENCIES WHO.
ARE THEY MAY HAVE LANDED THEY
WILL NEED THAT'S ONE THING BUT
WE ALSO KNOW THAT -- MANY PUBLIC
AGENCIES IN CALIFORNIA -- I WANT
TO USE THE WORD CORD BUT HOLD ON
THE LAND THAT THEY'RE NOT USING --
AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE FACILITATE --
THE USE OF THE LAND ON AS WE SEE
THIS EXPLOSION HOUSING COSTS AND
THIS EXPLOSION IN THE NUMBER OF
PEOPLE WHO WERE LIVING IN THEIR
CARS AND LIVING IN SHELTERS AND
LIVING IN TENTS AND CHILDREN WHO
ARE HOMELESS -- WE NEED TO DO
MORE -- AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE
AGENCIES THAT ARE WORKING WITH
THE AUTHOR -- AND HOPEFULLY WE
CAN COME TO A RESOLUTION
[inaudible]
SENATOR WINNER -- REMEMBER
CHIANG EYEBROW PROBABLY WANTED
TO STOP ARE YOU THE OPPOSITE
MAYBE TO HAVE SOME SOME
DISCUSSION.
I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF USING
SURPLUS LAND I REMEMBER GETTING.
CONSTITUENTS COMING AND HEY WHAT
ABOUT GOVERNMENT LAND IT JUST
KIND OF SITTING THERE -- THEY
WERE KIND OF GETTING A THAT --
WONDERFUL DISCUSSION OF LOCAL
CONTROL AGAIN AS BATTLE THAT
WE'VE HAD WITH A NUMBER OF BILLS
AND IN AND YOU'VE YOU'VE
ESTABLISHED PRETTY GOOD LIST OF
WONDERFUL AGENCIES AND
ASSOCIATIONS THAT ARE OPPOSED TO
THE BILL -- SO YOU'RE YOU KNOW
WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE PUSHING
AN AGENDA BUT WORK.
AT TOUCHING ON SOME SOME SERIOUS
NERVES.
AND SO WERE MY PROBLEM IS BEEN
IS THAT I LOOK AT A MAP OF ALL
THE PROPERTIES IN ORANGE COUNTY.
THAT THE STATE OWNS [inaudible]
BETTER.
VACANT AND AVAILABLE -- AS A
SUPERVISOR THE FUN I HAD TRYING.
TO GET PROPERTY FROM CALTRANS --
EVEN FOR CONSERVATION PURPOSES
WAS JUST LIKE IT NEXT TO
IMPOSSIBLE AND SO I'M JUST KIND
OF WONDERING WHY THE STATE WOULD
KIND OF IMPOSE ON LOCAL
MUNICIPALITIES WHEN IS NOT DOING
A VERY GOOD JOB.
OF IT WITH ITS OWN SURPLUS
PROPERTY AND SO THAT'S WHERE I'M
TRYING.
TO THANK YOU YOU KNOW BUT HE YOU
KNOW DOCTOR HE'LL BY SELF KIND
OF A APPROACH THE IF WE COULD DO
A RIDE OURSELVES IS SACRAMENTO
THEN.
THEN WE CAN COME IN AND SAY LOOK
WE'VE DONE WE'VE GOT A MODEL BUT
I'M NOT SEEING THAT NIGHT SO
THAT'S WHERE I'M HAVING.
DIFFICULTIES YOU KNOW SO WE
WOULD HAVE A MUCH LONGER
CONVERSATION ABOUT CALTRANS -- I
I DID A BILL ON CALTRANS FOR SAN
FRANCISCO. TO ALLOW THE CITY AND
COUNTY TO LEASE. TEN DIFFERENT
PARCELS IN IN SAN FRANCISCO AT A
REDUCED MARKET RATE IT'S PROVED
VERY SUCCESSFUL WE ARE. TO THOSE
SITES HAVE ALREADY BEEN USED FOR
NAVIGATION CENTERS.
AND SO AGAIN THESE ARE --
FREEWAY ON RAMP SAID AND HE
WOULD YOU PROBABLY WOULD HAVE
DRIVEN BY THE MONOXIDE YOU COULD
DO ANYTHING THERE.
BUT NOW WE HAVE TO NAVIGATION
CENTER SERVING OVER TWO HUNDRED
PEOPLE GETTING THEM OFF THE
STREET SO.
I I COULDN'T AGREE MORE THAT
WEEK WE SHOULD BE DOING MORE AT
THE STATE LEVEL.
HAVING SAID THAT WE DO HAVE A
FIFTY YEAR OLD LAW ON SURPLUS
PUBLIC LAND ON WHAT IT IS HOW
HOW WE SHOULD USE IT.
WE WEEK WE REINFORCE THE IDEA OF
MAKING IT AVAILABLE FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN WHEN I DID IT.
IN UNFORTUNATELY EVEN THOUGH YOU
HAVE THIS LAW STANDING ON THE
BOOKS YOU HAVE.
I JUST NUMEROUS AGENCIES WHO
CONTINUE TO TRY TO FIND
DIFFERENT WAYS TO CIRCUMVENT THE
LAW SO SAID TO ME IF THIS IS
LESS ABOUT LOCAL CONTROL.
AND IS ABOUT TIGHTENING IN
MAKING SURE THAT WE CAN ENFORCE
A FIFTY YEAR OLD STATE LAW --
WITH ALL RESPECT TO THE SPECIAL
DISTRICTS.
I KNOW THE SPONSORS MY OFFICE
WE'VE ASKED FOR AMENDMENTS THAT
WOULD GET THEM OFF -- THEIR
PARTICULAR AMENDMENT WOULD
BASICALLY EXEMPT THEM SO -- THEY
HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GIVE US ANY
AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD -- WOULD
TAKE AWAY THEIR OPPOSITION EVEN
THOUGH IT'S BEEN REQUESTED FOR
FOR WEEKS AT THIS POINT.
IN THE AMENDMENT THAT THE
PROPOSED AGAIN IS BASICALLY AN
EXEMPTION IT SOUNDS SOUNDS LIKE
IT'S NOT BUT THAT'S REALLY WHAT
IT IS.
SO -- UNFORTUNATELY YOU KNOW WE
BELIEVE THAT THE SURPLUS LAND.
REALLY -- LAWS SHOULD BE
FOLLOWED THE SHOULD BE
CIRCUMVENTED THIS AGAIN JUST
HEIGHTENS EXISTING LAW DOES
PROVIDE SOME GREATER
CLARIFICATION.
AND AGAIN JUST ECHOING.
MY MY SENATORS COMMENTS AROUND --
IN THE NEED FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING -- WE WE DEFINITELY NEED
THIS LAND WHEN IT'S NOT BEING
USED FOR FOR THE HOUSING.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU
ON CALTRANS PROPERTIES GOING
INTO THIS YEAR.
I CAN GIVE YOU SOME TIPS ABOUT
HOW TO DO THAT BECAUSE IT
DEFINITELY -- WASN'T EASY AND
WORKING WITH CALTRANS CAN AT
TIMES BE VERY CHALLENGING BUT
