BUDGET PROPOSAL. FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE CLIMATE CHANGE
ISRAEL AND ITS IMPACTS ARE
PERVASIVE THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
EXAMPLES WARMER TAKE YOUR
TEMPERATURES AFFECT HUMAN
HEALTH AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION
IN NATURAL HABITATS AS WELL AS
CONTRIBUTE TO MORE FREQUENT AND
INTENSE DROUGHT. FOR US THE
MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO EXTREME
WILDFIRES IN THE COASTLINE
COULD EXPERIENCE AS MUCH AS
SEVEN FEET OF SEA LEVEL RISE BY
THE YEAR TWENTY ONE HUNDRED.
INCREASING THE RISK OF
INUNDATION THE BUILDINGS AND
INFRASTRUCTURE FOUGHT WATER
INTRUSION. INTO GROUND WATER
BASINS AND BEACH EROSION. TO
ADDRESS THESE ISSUES THE
GOVERNOR AND THE
ADMINISTRATION- PUT FORTH A
TWELVE POINT FIVE BILLION
DOLLAR PROPOSAL TODAY'S HEARING

JUSTIFICATION AS WELL AS THE
ELLIE RESPONSE. IN THE COMING.
THE MADAM CHAIR IN THIS IT IS
WELL THAT THE LEGISLATIVE
BUDGET COMMITTEE DO THESE
HEARINGS WITH THE GREAT
THOROUGHNESS. IN PART BECAUSE
MUCH MORE POLICY IS BEING
EFFECTED TO BUDGET TRADER BILLS

SOME OF THEM AND TRAILER BILLS.
WE HAVE TO ENSURE THEN THAT WE
THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF SCRUTINY
AND REVIEW BECAUSE THAT TRAILER
BILL PROCESS CAN ELIMINATE SOME
OF THE LIMóN NATION THAT IS
NEEDED. THE PROPOSALS BEFORE US

BE NEEDING TO TALK ABOUT THOSE
BUT IT'S CERTAINLY A CREDIT TO

THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
ROSS BROWN WITH THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE I'M JOINED BY
MY COLLEAGUES RACHEL EHLERS AND
BRIAN WEATHERFORD WERE
REPRESENTS ON THE GOVERNOR'S
CLIMATE CHANGE PROPOSALS AND
SPECIFICALLY LAST WEEK OUR
OFFICE RELEASED A REPORT
ASSESSING THE MAJOR CLIMATE HIS
PROPOSALS IN THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET THIS YEAR. ASA WILL BE
WALKING THROUGH THE HIGHLIGHTS
OF THAT. REPORT AND HIT ON SOME
OF THE KEY FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS WE ALSO HAVE A
HANDOUT WHICH HOPEFULLY YOU
HAVE IN YOUR PACKET WHICH
SUMMARIZES SOME OF THOSE KEY
POINTS- IF NOT I THINK THIS
ANSWER EXTRA HARD COPIES AND
THEY HAND OUT SHOULD BE POSTED
ON OUR WEBSITE RIGHT NOW WITH.
ANYBODY FROM PUBLIC WANTS TO
ACCESS THAT. SO OUR FIRST IF
YOU TURN TO PAGE ONE OF THE
HAND OUT WE JUST PROVIDE A VERY
HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF THE FOUR
MAJOR PROPOSALS THAT WE
ANALYZED AS PART OF A- PART OF
OUR REPORTS- FIRST THE CAP AND
TRADE. DISCRETIONARY
EXPENDITURE PLAN NINE HUNDRED
AND SIXTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
FROM THE GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTION FUND. A SECOND AS
PART OF CAP AND TRADE
EXPENDITURE PLAN THERE'S AN
EXPANSION OF. A CLIMATE
ADAPTATION RESEARCH AND
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE OF TWENTY
FIVE BILLION DOLLARS WE THOUGHT
THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT CHANGE
AND WANTED TO HIDE THAT. ALICE
SO WILL. TOUCH ON LATER IN THE
PRESENTE. THIRD BUT CLIMB BOND
FOR EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS FOR A
CALL AND- RELATED ACTIVITIES.
AND THEN FINALLY TO. POSE
CLINIC AT A LIST LONG TIME. I
WOULD TWO HUNDRED FIFTY NO
DOLLARS GENERAL. AND BUDGET
YEAR AND THEN. OF A BOTTLE FOR
HUNDRED MILLION UP GENERAL FUND
AND MADE. WHEN FOR. A OUR NOW
SO THERE'S ALL THOSE I THINK
ARE OVERALL TAKE THE PROPOSALS
AS A PAID ED INCLUDE SOME
POSITIVE TO ADDRESS THE SIX
RISK ASSOCIATED WITH CLIMB
CHANGE AND STATE AND THERE'S A
AND FOR ON AT AT RELAY ACTIVITY
WHICH WE THINK MIGHT OUT OF SAN
BUT THAT WITH THE FIGHT A LOT
PLACES IN THE POLLS WHERE THE
LEGISLATURE BY WHEN I THINK
ABOUT MODIFYING THOSE PROPOSALS
ARE PROVIDING MORE SPECIFIC.
IT'S NOT US IT'S PRETTY ISN'T
BRAIN. THAT ARE THESE PROGRAMS
RUN BY A WAY THAT'S- WITH OTHER
WAY AND THAT THEM EVEN THE ONE.
WOULD WE DON'T THINK IT'S
ADEQUATELY JUSTIFIED WHICH IS
THE CLINIC CATALYST FUND EVEN
FOR THAT ONE WE THINK TO. THE
CONCEPT HAS SOME MERIT AND
SETTLED THE LEGISLATURE MIGHT
WANT TO THINK ABOUT- IF IT
DOESN'T A DOUBT THAT PROPOSAL-
WHETHER IT MIGHT WANT TO. A
PILOT FOR TO EXPLORE THE
CONCEPT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.
THAT'S ARE KIND OF HIGH LEVEL
TAKE. SO IF YOU TURN TO PAGE
TWO OF THE HAND OUT- WE
HIGHLIGHT SOME KEY ISSUES THAT
WE SUGGEST TO CONSIDER AS YOU
REVIEW THE ADMINISTRATION'S
PROPOSALS THIS THIS YEAR- I
WANT TOUCH ON ON ALL OF THEM I
THINK SOME OF THE KEY ONE
WANTED TO. THE HIGHLIGHT OUR
FIRST IT IS AGAIN KIND OF
ALLOCATING FUNDING BASED ON
YOUR GOALS AND PRIORITIES THIS
PACKAGE REPRESENTS THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PRIORITIES AND
GOALS AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT. AS YOU'RE THINKING
ABOUT. THIS BILL THINK OF KIND
OF BROADLY IN THE CON OF THE
OVERALL BUDGET FIRST AND
FOREMOST SO. OTHERS AN INCREASE
IN A PROPOSED GENERAL FUND
SPENDING RELATIVE TO SOME PRIOR
YEARS I CLIMATE RELATED
ACTIVITIES AND SO. YOU'LL NEED
TO KIND OF WEIGH THAT AGAINST.
YOU KNOW OTHER LEGISLATIVE
PRIORITIES THAT YOU HAVE IN
YOUR BUDGET OF COURSE- ALSO
THINKING ABOUT KIND OF RELATIVE
EMPHASIS ON ADAPTATION DOES
MITIGATION COMMITTEES TAKING
INTO ACCOUNT. WHAT EXISTING
PROGRAMS WITH. OUR RESPECTIVE
ERAS SWEEPING IS AN IMPORTANT
CONSIDERATION. AND THEN OF
COURSE SELECT AN PROGRAMS ARE
MOST LIKELY TO ACHIEVE WHATEVER
GOALS AND PRIORITIES YOU YOU
SET OUT. A LITTLE OF FINE TWO
IS AT ALL WITH HER KIND OF THE
LAST TWO CHECK MARK ON THAT. ON
PAGE TWO ONE IS ENSURING THAT
THE LEGISLATURE PROVIDES CLEAR
DIRECTION TO THE ADMINISTRATION
AND SO ON AND SOME CASES THAT
MIGHT MEAN. AT IN- STATUTORY
LANGUAGE THAT MAKE SURE THAT
LEGISLATIVE. PRIORITIES AND
GUIDANCE ARE KIND OF OUR IN
LAW- AND THEN FINALLY- USING
DATA COLLECTION PROGRAM
EVALUATION TO ASSESS THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF THESE GRAMS
THESE ARE OUR LONG TERM ISSUES
BOTH IN THE ADAPTATION AND
MITIGATION SPACE AND SO WE
THINK IT'S- REALLY IMPORTANT TO
TRY TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S A- A
PROCESS AND FUNDING IN PLACE
TO. TRY AND I WAY THESE
PROGRAMS GOING FORWARD SO YOU
CAN CONTINUE TO MODIFY AND
IMPROVE THEM. SIR IF YOU TURN
TO PAGE THREE. OF YOUR HAND OUT
OF JUMP INTO THE- FIRST MAJOR
PROPOSAL THAT WE ASSESS. AND
PAGE THREE HAS A SUMMARY OF THE
PROPOSED CAP AND TRADE
EXPENDITURE PLAN. AND THE
PROPOSAL FOR THE BUDGET YEAR
COMPARED TO WHAT WAS IN THE
CURRENT YEAR BUDGET. AS YOU CAN
SEE THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT
PROGRAMS HERE SO I WON'T GO
THROUGH ALL OF THEM I THINK A
COUPLE THE- THE HIGHLIGHTS
SOMEONE AHEAD ARE SO WE WOULD
DROP THEM INTO THREE DIFFERENT-
BUCKETS THE- CONTINUOUS
APPROPRIATIONS AS THE FIRST
GROUP. THERE'S A AND THERE'S
ANOTHER- GROUP SPENDING WHICH
IS KIND OF ON GOING COMMITMENTS
THE LEGISLATURE HAS ALREADY
MADE IN STATUTE OR AND PREVIOUS
BUDGETS. AND THE THIRD IS A
DISCRETIONARY SPENDING
COMMITMENTS AND THAT'S KIND OF
THE FOCUS OF KIND OF. GOALS AND
ARE NOW THIS. IN A THAT.
THERE'S LESS THAN WHAT WAS IN
THE BUDGET THAT WAS ADOPTED FOR
THE CURRENT YEAR AND SO THAT'S
I THINK VERY IMPORTANT CONTACTS
WHEN LOOKING AT WHAT THE
PROPOSED SPENDING OUR FOR
SPECIFIC PROGRAMS THE OVERALL
JUST A FEW- MILLION DOLLARS
LASANCE. SOME DIFFICULT IS
AROUND PRIORITY. PROPOSALS AT
ALL HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION UNDER THE LOW
CARBON TRANSPORTATION. THE
CLEAN VEHICLE REBATE PROJECT
WHICH IS- INCENTIVES FOR ZERO
EMISSION VEHICLES- THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSING A
REDUCTION THERE FROM- TWO
HUNDRED AND THIRTY EIGHT
MILLION AND THE LAST YEAR'S
BUDGET TWO HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE
MILLION IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET
SO THAT'S- PRESS ONE OF THE
MOST SIGNIFICANT. CREASES THE
OTHER. AS AN EXPANSION THAT I
MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT EARLIER
IT'S IN THE OTHER CATEGORY THAT
CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION
RESEARCH AND TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE- AND EXPANSION FROM
SEVEN MILLION TO TWENTY FIVE
MILLION AND MY- COLLEAGUE MS
SAILORS WILL. DISCUSS THAT A
LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL. SO IF
YOU TURN TO PAGE FOUR OF YOUR
HAND OUTS- WE TOUCH ON TO SOME
OF OUR KEY FINDINGS BASED ON
REVIEWING THE PROPOSALS. HOW WE
THINK OVERALL THE SIZE OF THE
EXPENDITURE PACKAGES REASONABLE
GIVEN- EXPECTED RESOURCES GOING
FORWARD- AND THEN JUST LOOK IN
EVEN THE ON THE BUDGET YEAR AND
FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF. THE OP
THAT'S IT REVENUE COME IN THE
WAY THAT. UPLOAD PERSON
AUCTIONS ARE. TO HAVE. ONGOING
AND YOU DISCRETION RESOURCES
AVAILABLE MIGHT NOT EXCEED
ABOUT EIGHT HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS AND SO THIS PACKAGES
NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE
MILLION AND SO REALLY KIND OF
THINKING ABOUT WE HAVE- YOU
KNOW PERHAPS A SMALLER AMOUNT
OF MONEY OVER THE NEXT FEW
YEARS AND SO THAT MEANS- SOME
DIFFICULT DECISIONS BROWN'S
PRIORITY IN WINTER TO THINK
ABOUT WHAT CHORE. KIND OF CORE
PROGRAMS GOING NEXT. BASED ON
PRIORITY. AND THE SO THE OTHER
I'LL I'LL SIT ON REAL QUICKLY
IS JUST AT THAT BASED ON OUR
DEAL WASN'T ENTIRELY CLEAR KIND
OF HOW THE ADMINISTRATION
PRIORITIZED MONEY INTO
DIFFERENT BUCKETS AND EXACTLY.
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TO REDUCE IN
ONE PARTICULAR AREA AND HOW
MUCH HOW TO MAINTAIN FUNDING
ANOTHER PARTICULAR AREA AND SO
I THINK AND THERE'S NOT A LOT
OF INFORMATION ON HOW WHAT WHAT
THE ACTED ARE WITH SOME OF THE
FOR GOALS WHAT WE EXPECT T.
FROM DOZENS SO I THINK THAT'S
ALL. WE JUST TO OUR RECORD. IT
WAS. NEVER PACK YOU ADOPT
REALLY REFLECTS YOUR PRICE AND
YOUR MAKE THOSE ALLOCATE BASED
ON WHAT YOU WHAT YOU DEEM TO BE
THE HIGHEST PRIORITY WHETHER IT
BE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
WOULD TALK IN MORE DETAIL DO
YOU LIKE ABOUT CAN I STRATEGIES
FOR TRYING TO PROMOTE THE-
WEATHER BE AIRPORT LOCAL AIR
POLLUTION REDUCTION FOR OTHER
THINGS INTEREST. TRYING AT THAT
AGE MITSCHER'S IS SO- I'LL
HEADED OVER TO MY COMPLETENESS
SAILORS NOW TO THE NEXT PART OF
THE PROPOSAL. THANK YOU SO IT
IS WITH THE HOUSE I'M- FIVE OF
AND THAT AM AS MR BY NOTED THIS
IS A TWO FIVE DOLLAR PROPOSE
FOR IN COMING THE GREENHOUSE
GAS REDUCTION FUN AND TO REALLY
IS IMPORTANT HIGHLIGHT THIS
BECAUSE IT DOES REPRESENT. A
SIGNIFICANT EXPANSION OF THE
STATE'S STATE LEVEL EFFORTS ON
ADAPTATION PARTICULARLY CLIMATE
RESEARCH AND TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE WE DIDN'T WANT IT TO
JUST BE KIND OF ANOTHER LINE
AND THAT CAP AND TRADE I HAVE
SHE BECAUSE- BECAUSE IT IS IN A
PROPOSED EXPANSION IT IS A
DECISION POINT FOR ALL YOU KNOW
HOW YOU WANT TO SPEND. HOURS
AND THE CAR IS IF YOU TO DO SO
I WE THINK AS- FOR THE IS OVER
COM THIS IS. IN A PROPOSAL FROM.
TEN MINUTES SENATE VOTE IS ON A
PER. A LOT. OF IT IS IMPORTANT
ROLE FOR THE STATE. BUT IT'S
NOT THE ONLY A AVAIL TO YOU AND
YOU COULD TAKE A DIFFERENT
MIXTURE HERE. AT THE PARTS
PROPOSED TO SPEND SLIGHTLY LESS
ON RESEARCH AND SLIGHTLY MORE
AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR
EXAMPLE IN OUR RESEARCH ON.
RECENT SEALEVEL RISE REPORT WE
DID WE HEARD SO MUCH FROM LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS OF THE NEED FOR
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR
SOMEBODY TO CALL. TO HELP TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT DO I DO I WRITE
DOWN SOME ABILITY ASSESSMENT I
KNOW OF THE WATER IS COMING
WHAT DO I DO ABOUT IT AND WHO
DO I TALK TO. SO THERE'S SOME
PIECES OF THIS PROPOSAL THAT
ARE CERTAINLY WILL. BEGIN TO
ADDRESS NEED YOU COULDN'T- PUT
IT RESOURCES FOR THE DRUG. NEED
THE- AND IF YOU'RE THERE ARE
BERM INCOME. OF THE IT WAS ALL.
OUT PURSES BERMAN OF I SENATOR
LEYVA I'M AS- TO. WOULD PROVIDE
I'M PASSED BUILDING IN AREAS OF
THE STATE FOR GROUP TOO BAD
HOME PARTICULAR. I'M UNDER. A
MORE MOBILE CAN IS TO BE ABLE
ACCESS TO GROW. SPENDING TO
EXPAND. THAT I CARP WE STAND.
NO RESILIENCE COORDINATORS
AROUND THE STATE THERE'S
FUNDING TO CONDUCT THE FIFTH
CLIMATE CHANGE ASSESSMENT FOR
THE STATE AND THEN TO EXPAND A
RESEARCH PROGRAM- SO AGAIN ALL
THESE WE THINK ARE ARE VALUABLE
ACTIVITIES BUT WE WOULD
ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY REPRESENT YOUR PRIORITIES
TO DEVELOP A PACKAGE. SINCE
YOUR PRIORITIES AND TO PROVIDE
THAT TO. ACHIEVE AN OF THESE
PROPOSALS THE ADMINISTRATION'S
IN PROVIDING- PROPOSING ANY
STATUTORY- GUIDANCE OR LANGUAGE
AROUND ANY OF THESE PROPOSAL SO
WE WOULD THINK THAT THAT WOULD
BE AN IMPORTANT THING FOR YOU
TO IDENTIFY YOUR PRIORITIES
IDENTIFIED. DIRECTION AND HAVE
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ENSURING
THAT THOSE PROGRAMS AND
INITIATIVES ARE CARRIED OUT.
THE WAY YOUR DIRECTION IN
PARTICULAR BECAUSE THE IS AN EX.
OF STATE ACT. SO TURNING TO
PAGE. I'M THAT IS THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED CLIMATE
RESILIENCE BOND I THINK OUR
COMMENTS AGAIN ARE KIND OF IN
THE VEIN THAT WE DON'T SEE
ANYTHING THAT JUMPS OUT IS A
HUGE. CONCERN OR- IN
APPROPRIATE HERE BUT YOU HAVE A
LOT OF CHOICES IF YOU CHOOSE
TO. PROCEED WITH A CLIMATE BOND
YOU COULD CHOOSE DIFFERENT
CATEGORIES YOU COULD CHOOSE A
DIFFERENT AMOUNT- YOU COULD
CHOOSE DIFFERENT AREAS OF
FOCUS. WHAT WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE
ARE THE IN MOST IMPORTANT
PRIORITIES FOR THE STATE IN
RESPONDING TO CLIMATE CHANGE.
AND IT AND THE OTHER BIG POINT
WE WOULD SAY HERE AGAIN IS THE
DETAILS MATTER A LOT. IF WE
WANT THIS TO REALLY MOVE THE
STATE FORWARD IN INCREASING
NUMBERS. OF THE IMPACTS OF
CLIMATE HANGE THEN IT HAS TO
BE IMPLEMENTED A LITTLE BIT. IF
BUDGET BY PRO AND WHAT ARE THE
BENEFITS OF AN INDIVIDUAL
PROJECT BUT IF WE NEED IF WE'RE
TRYING TO GET SOME COLLECTIVE
IMPACT HERE WE NEED TO THINK
ABOUT HOW THOSE PROJECTS WORK
TOGETHER SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT
IN THE CASE OF SEA LEVEL RISE
IF YOU WERE TO DO A DOING
RESTORATION PROJECT IN A
NEIGHBORING COMMUNITY WAS
PUTTING UP A SEA WALL ALL IT
WOULD TAKE WOULD BE ONE BIG
STORM IN THE BENEFITS OF THAT
DO NOT STATION MIGHT WALK AWAY
SIMILARLY IN THE FOR STE IF
YOU'RE DOING A- FORCED HELP
SOMEONE PARCEL OF. THE NOT IN
ANY PART OF THE IT'S FOR I JUST
PAVILION FEE BE I AS GREAT IF
SO WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE A
STRATEGIC APPROACH AND- AND THE
ADMINISTRATION IS PUT FOR SOME
RESILIENCE PER OF WHICH THEY'RE
PROPOSING EXPENSE WOULD BE BASE
BUT A LOT OF DETAIL SO WE
REALLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO THINK
ABOUT HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO
DEFER TO THE ADMINISTRATION ON
THOSE DETAILS ON HOW THESE
PROGRAMS WOULD BE SET UP AND
HOW MUCH DIRECTION WOULD YOU
WANT TO PUT IN LG TO ENSURE
THAT YOU BRING THAT FOR. A THE
WITH. IT OVER TO MY- YOUR WEB
ERRED ARE. FINISHES OFF BUT
CLIMB. WAS LIMóN FUND. CURRENT
WEATHER FORD BRAND WITH FOR THE
TO LEGISLATE ANALYST'S AND THE
COMPONENT OF THE GOVERNOR'S
CLIMATE BUDGET INCLUDES THE
PROPOSAL FOR A NEW LOAN FUND
THAT WOULD MAKE ONLINE MY TO.
PRIVATE AND PUBLIC PROJECTS
WITH CLIMB RELATED BENEFITS AND
AN ADVANTAGE OF THE ON THAT WE
SEE IN THIS- IN THIS PROPOSAL
IS THAT A CLIMATE LOAN FUND
COULD BE SELF SUSTAINING IN
THAT AS FAR AS REPAY THEIR
LOANS ON THE STATE COULD THEN
MAKE ADDITIONAL LOANS- PERHAPS
INDEFINITELY AND THE
ADMINISTRATION COSTS OF THE
FIVE. BECAUSE BY THE INTEREST.
WE KNOW IT THAT THE F. NOUS
WITH HAND ON THE ABILITY
EFFECTIVENESS THIS WONDERFUL
DEPEND ON THE ABILITY TO-
IDENTIFY A FOR THE C. TRITON
FIVE CORPORATE PROJECTS. AN
APPROPRIATE PROJECT WOULD NEED
TO HAVE A QUALIFIED CLIMATE
BENEFIT- AND IT WOULD ALSO HAVE
TO HAVE US- EITHER SOURCE OF
REVENUE DIRECTLY OR FROM THE
SPONSORING. THE SPONSOR- TO
PREPAY THE LOAN AND THE CONCEPT
BEHIND THE LOAN FUND WOULD BE
THAT THE PROJECT WOULD BE
OTHERWISE UNABLE TO RECEIVE.
PRIVATE SECTOR- CONVENTIONAL
FINANCING. THE IN IN ARGUE THE
ADMINISTRATION IS NOT A
DEMONSTRATED THAT WILL BE ABLE
TO IDENTIFY- UPPER PROJECTS
ALTHOUGH WE DO NOTE THAT- THE
MINISTRY WE AGREE THAT THERE
ARE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS NEEDED-
FOR CLIMATE MITIGATION AND
ADAPTATION. AND SO- WHAT OUR
CONCERN IS MORE ON WHETHER THE
CLAIM A CATALYST LYNN FUND IS
THE MOST APPROPRIATE WAY TO
FINANCE THESE PROJECTS AND
THEN- IS THE NUMBER OF
PROJECTS- FISSION- MAYES THE-
TO READ THE MAN FOR THE AMOUNT
THAT'S BEEN PROPOSED BY THE
ADMINISTRATION SET. MOUNT
MINISTRATIONS PROPOSALS FOR TWO
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS
IN THE BUDGET YEAR AN
ADDITIONAL SEVEN HUNDRED AND
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS AND
TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR. AND
SO THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT
OF MONEY AND THE BENEFITS ARE
IN CLEAR BECAUSE THE EXACT
PROJECT CATEGORIES OF THE
FUNDED HAVEN'T YET BEEN
DETERMINED AND THAT WOULD BE
DETERMINED THROUGH A PROCESS
LAID OUT IN THE ON. THE TRAILER
BILL TO AND- THE PROPOSED I
GUESS. A THE FALL THIS TO GROW
TOWNS. WORK WITH THE BANK. AND
THE ISLAND LEAVE WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO DEVELOP
THE PROJECT CATEGORIES AND ONLY
THEN WITH THE- UNDERWRITING
STANDARDS BE DEVELOPED AND THEY
BEGIN TAKING APPLICATIONS FOR
LOANS. AND ONLY THEN WOULD WE
SEE- MANY PROJECTS- WOULD BE
QUALIFIED FOR THESE LOANS AND-
WHAT THE AMOUNT OF THESE
PROJECTS ARE SO THIS IS A LOT
OF UNCERTAINTIES AROUND THIS
PROJECT SO WE ARE RECOMMENDING.
READ TING THE FUND AS PROPOSED.
THE CONCEPT THAT YOU ARE
INTERESTED IN. RECOMMEND
FINDING IT ON A ON. A PILOT
PROJECT SO- THE REQUEST ONE
POSITION TO HELP DEVELOP THE
PER. AND FROM NOT. AN OPEN THE
DOORS AND ALLOW THEM TO. ACCEPT
APPLICATIONS DEVELOPED PROJECT
RIGHT YEAH AND THEN SEE AND-
ARM. OF THE PROJECTS THAT. NEED
FOR THE FUND IN THE AMOUNT THAT
IS NEEDED BECAUSE IT'S NOT
CLEAR. I'M FROM INFORMATION
FOR. PATIENTS BY THE SUBTLE ON
A BILLION. IN TWO HUNDRED AND
FIFTY TWO THIS YEAR AND SEVEN
HUNDRED FIFTY. AND FOR YEARS.
SO THANK YOU VERY OF A WE'RE
GONNA HOLD C UNTIL MINISTRY
PRESENTS WERE GOING TO ASK THE
MINISTRATION TOOK A MONTH
FORWARD. I CAN'T GET A GOOD
GRADE AS WHO GOT THE FOUR
CHAIRS PERFECT. AGAIN APOLOGIZE
TO ALL FOUR. BE THE SMALL
HEARING ROOM BUT- UNTIL WE
BUILD A NEW CAPITAL AND WE HAVE
MORE LARGER HEARING ROOM
SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO.
ACCOMMODATE. THIS IS FOR THE
NEXT ONE OKAY. THANK YOU JUST
SELF- MEMBERS REALLY- KNOW THAT
THIS- THE HAND OUT WE JUST GOT
FROM THE SERGEANT IS FOR THE
NEXT PANEL THE THING ON.
WELCOME MR THIS ONE OFTEN THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR JOINING US IT.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. I WILL
BRIEFLY- DESCRIBED THAT OVERALL
ELEMENTS OF THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL ON THE KIND OF BUDGET
AND THEN TURN IT OVER TO MY
COLLEAGUES TO TALK ABOUT EACH
OF THE ELEMENTS EXCELLENT THANK
YOU THE PROPOSAL THAT THE
GOVERNOR IS PUT FORWARD TAKES A
COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO
CLIMATE CHANGE WITH A SPECIAL
FOCUS ON BOTH EMISSIONS
REDUCTION AS WELL AS A NATION
AND RESILIENT. AND THIS IS
ACROSS THE FULL RANGE OF.
RANGING FROM WILDFIRES. TO TRAP
THE FLOODS THE SEA LEVEL RISE
AND EXTREME HEAT. THE OVERALL
PACKAGE HAS A THREE PART
STRUCTURE THE FIRST PART OF IT
IS WHAT YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH
THIS IS THE CAP AND TRADE
PROGRAMS AND WE'RE PROPOSING A
DISCRETIONARY SPENDING PLAN OF
NEARLY ONE BILLION DOLLARS. THE
SECOND TWO PARTS ARE NEW THE
FIRST IS THE REVOLVING LOAN
FUND THAT WE'RE DESCRIBING IS
THE CLIMATE CATALYST FIND DRIVE
PRIVATE INVESTMENT TOWARD
CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTIONS- AND
THEN THE THIRD PART IS A
PROPOSED CLIMATE RESILIENCE
BONTA FOUR POINT SEVEN FIVE
BILLIONDOLLARS AND WE SEE ALL
THREE PARTS OF THIS CLIMATE
BUDGET. WORKING TOGETHER. IN
TOTAL THIS INVESTMENT OVER THE
NEXT FIVE YEARS WOULD REPRESENT
TWELVE POINT FIVE BILLION
DOLLARS. I DO WANNA MAKE ONE
POINT BEFORE TURNING IT OVER TO
MY COLLEAGUES ABOUT THE CAP AND
TRADE FUNDING IN PARTICULAR
BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS BEEN. A
SUBJECT OF CONVERSATION AMONG
THE CAPITAL. WE ARE PROPOSING A
CAP AND TRADE DISCRETIONARY
PORTFOLIO THAT IS APPROXIMATELY
FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
LESS THAN THE LEVEL THAT WAS
ENACTED IN THE BUDGET LAST
YEAR. HOWEVER THIS DOESN'T
REFLECT ANY LAST NAME OF
COMMITMENT OF THE
ADMINISTRATION TO THE CAP AND
TRADE PROGRAM OR TO ITS GOALS.
RATHER IT REPRESENTS THE FACT
THAT WE DID SEE A ONE TIME
SURPLUS LAST YEAR OF
APPROXIMATELY FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS. AND RIGHT NOW
WE ARE NOT PROJECTING THAT IN
OUR ESTIMATES FOR THIS YEAR.
THERE ARE. STILL CAP AND TRADE
OPTIONS IN ON IN THE TWENTY
NINETEEN TWENTY TWENTY BY YOUR
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. AND BY THE
TIME WE COME BACK TO YOU WITH
THE REVISED PROPOSAL ON NAY WE
MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL. OPTIONS I
AND SEVEN THAT FUNDING MAY BE
IT MAY. INCREASE OVER THE
CURRENT LEVEL BUT UNTIL THEN
WE'RE CONFIDENT IN THOSE FOR
JAPANESE WE WANT OUR THAT
EIGHT. I TOLL NO IS AN- AND IT
IS TO THE RIGHT. THAT WE EIGHT
BASED ON LAST YEAR. WE HAVEN'T
TAKEN THIS GUY. OF RATHER WE
TRIED TO TAKE AS THOUGHTFUL AND
AN APPROACH AS POSSIBLE- SOME
PROGRAMS- WEREN'T FUNDED AT ALL
THAT WERE FUN LAST YEAR'S.
OTHER HAIR CUT. THROUGH WE WERE
TO APPROACH THE PRO. THE
DISCRETION ARE. IN EQUITY WILL.
THE FOLKS AND MAKE PRODUCTION.
SPECIAL THE BAND A COMMUNITY SO
THAT IS HOW WE THOUGHT THAT
BROUGHT. AND NOW A BRIEF
INTRODUCE MY COLLEAGUE THERE'S
QUE CORD AND SENIOR TO THE ON
CHANGE. SHE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT
OVERALL CLIMATE BY INCLUDING
CLIMATE FOR WE HAVE WAIT. WHO
OUR SECOND OF NOT RESOURCE.
HE'LL BE DISCUSSING THE
PROPOSED GENERAL ABA BY ON
CRIME RESILIENCE WE HAVE JERRY
BLUMENFELD WHO'S THE SECRETARY
FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
HE'LL BE DISCUSSING OUR CAP AND
TRADE PROGRAM. AND FINALLY WE
HAVE THAT KAREN ROSS WILL BE
TAKING MY SEAT RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE I KNOW THE ROOM IS
SMALL. SHE SAID. ABOUT HER
CULTURE AND SHALL BE DISCUSSING
THE AGRICULTURAL PROPOSALS
RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE IN
THE BY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO
MUCH THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR FOR.
HOLDING A FULL BUT IT A HEARING
ON THIS ISSUE WHICH IS A CROSS
CUTTING ISSUES SO WE REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT. AND HAPPY
BIRTHDAY SENATOR KELSEY. SORRY
YOU HAD TO SPEND IT HERE BUT
WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE YOU. BUT
ONCE AGAIN MY NAME IS KATE
GORDON I'M THE GOVERNOR SENIOR
ADVISER ON CLIMATE CHANGE- AND
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR A FEW KIND
OF KEY THEMES THROUGHOUT THE
CONVERSATION THAT WE'RE ABOUT
TO HAVE ABOUT THE COMPREHENSIVE
CLIMATE BUDGET. OF THOSE
INCLUDE OUR DESIRE TO GET TO
SPEED AND SCALE ON MEETING THE
CLIMATE CRISIS THAT IS A
CONSISTENT THEME AND WHY YOU
SEE THIS NEW APPROACH TO THE
CLIMATE BUDGET THAT REALLY
EXPANDS THE- FUNDING AND THEN
MET SINCE FOR FUNDING. IN THIS
IMPORTANT AREA YOU'LL HEAR OF
FOLK SELECT A WITTY OF WE HAVE
YOU KNOW CONTINUAL EMISSIONS
GOING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE AND
CONTINUING TECHNOLOGY
INNOVATION ALL OF WOULD MEAN
THAT A FLEXIBLE APPROACH IS
REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN IT THE
CLIENT CHANGE. AS A REGION
CAPACITY. THE CLOSEST REALLY
AREN'T I AGREE WITH THE LA- ON
THE NEED FOR THAT AND HAVE PUT
IT- CENTRAL IN THE BUDGET AND
YOU'LL HEAR A FOCUS ON BUDGET
DISCIPLINE. REALLY AN ATTEMPT
TO HAVE THE RIGHT KINDS OF
FINANCING MECHANISMS FIND THE
RIGHT KINDS OF PROGRAMS. I WANT
TO SAY- ONE QUICK THING ON THE
SPEED AND SCALE ISSUE I FOR
THOSE WHO DIDN'T READ IT- THIS
YEAR LARRY FINK THAT THE
PRESIDENT OF BLACKROCK WHICH IS
OF COURSE THE WORLD'S LARGEST
ASSET MANAGER. WROTE HIS USUAL
AND YOUR LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
AND THE ENTIRE LETTER WAS ABOUT
CLIMATE CHANGE THIS YEAR. AND
HE MADE THE POINT THAT CLIMATE
CHANGE IS FAR BEYOND AN
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE OR A SIDE
ISSUE FOR SUSTAINABILITY
EXPERTS. IN THE FINANCE WORLD
ESG ISSUE HE SAID CLIMATE
CHANGE WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
LASTING IMPACT ON ECONOMIC
GROWTH AND PROSPERITY IT HAS
BECOME A DEFINING FACTOR IN
EVERY COMPANIES LONG TERM
PROSPECTS. THIS IS HOW WE IN
THE ADMINISTRATION ARE THINKING
ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE WHEN IT
COMES TO OUR OVERALL BUDGET AND
OUR OVERALL APPROACH TO THESE
ISSUES WHICH SPANNED EVERY
SECTOR. EVERY AGENCY AND EVERY
REGION OF THE STATE WE HAD SIX
DIFFERENT AGENCIES SECRETARIES
I ANNOUNCE THIS PROPOSAL TO
STAKEHOLDERS AND THE MEDIA WHEN
IT CAME OUT. I THINK THE UNDER
THAT AND IT TERMS OF THE SHEER
PUBLIC. ADEQUATE SEES AND-
ACCOUNT THE BEST. SO THE
CLIMATE BUDGET IS YOU HEARD IN
TWELVE POINT FIVE OVER FIVE
THAT. PLEASE NOTE DOES NOT
INCLUDE THE CONTINUE SUPPORT.
GREENHOUSE GAS WOULD FUND WHICH
ARE ESTIMATES TO NEED. ONE
POINT FIVE. IN TWENTY TWENTY
TWENTY TWENTY ONE ALONE. THE
THREE MAIN ELEMENTS OF THE
BUDGET WORK TOGETHER THEY ARE
ALL INTER RELATED AND I THINK
YOU'LL HEAR THAT THROUGHOUT THE
PRESENTATION. THE GREENHOUSE
GAS REDUCTION FUND AS YOU JUST
HEARD REALLY FOCUSES ON
VESTMENTS THAT REDUCE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND
POLLUTION AND BENEFIT THE
STATE'S MOST DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES. IN PARTICULAR AND
IMPORTANTLY IT FOCUSES ON AREAS
WHERE WE SEE THAT GOVERNMENT
GROUPS AND DIRECT GOVERNMENT
SUPPORT ARE CRITICAL. TO
ENHANCING LOCAL CAPACITY TO
RESPOND TO CLIMATE IMPACTS. IT
WILL BE THERE IS AN EMPHASIS ON
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CASSIDY
BILL. WELL AS ON FOUNDATIONAL
ROOT. NEED ACROSS. THE BUDGET.
ALL WHEN I THE CRITICAL. FOR
TRAINING AND JOB SKILLS THAT WE
BE FOR A TRANSITIONAL KERR
NEUTRAL KA THESE DAY PROBE. ARE
IN THE GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION
FUND BUDGET. THE RESILIENCE
BOND PROPOSAL FOCUSES ON
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS TO
BUILD RESILIENCE TO OUR MOST
PRESSING CLIMATE IMPACTS IT'S
ORGANIZED BY RISK. SO FCUSES
ON FIRE ON FLOOD AND DROUGHT ON
SEA LEVEL RISE IN ON EXTREME
HEAT EVERY ONE OF WHICH IS AN
ISSUE IN ONE OR THE OTHER PART
OF THE STATE AT THIS MOMENT.
AND IN THE FUTURE. YOUR AIRPORT
CONSECUTIVE AND I'M NOT. AS
WELL AS ROSS AND THE CATALYST
FIND REALLY FOCUSES ON
PROVIDING LOW INTEREST LOANS
FOR CLIMATE SOLUTIONS THAT ARE
COMMERCIALLY TESTED. AND NEED
TO BE DISPLAYED DEPLOYED AT FAR
FASTER SPEED AND SCALE IF WE'RE
GOING TO MEET OUR GOALS BUT
HAVE HAD A HARD TIME. ACCESSING
FINANCING IN THE TRADITIONAL
CAPITAL MARKETS THAT COULD BE
FOR ANY NUMBER OF REASONS
BECAUSE THE BAR WE DECENT
BORROWERS SMALL. OR A NEW OR
WERE BECAUSE THE BORROWER IS-
IT FROM A DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITY. BECAUSE IT'S A IT'S
A REGION OF THE STATE THE
DISTRICT. NOT BEEN. PRIVATE
INVEST FUNDING. FOR CLIMATE
CHANGE OR BECAUSE IT'S A
TECHNOLOGY THAT'S NEARLY
COMMERCIALIZED AND HASN'T
REALLY BEEN TESTED YET. THE
GOVERNOR RECOMMENDS THAT AT THE
OUTSET THIS IS AYE AYE AYE AN
ISSUE FOR THE STRATEGIC GROWTH
COUNCIL IN COORDINATION WITH
THAT LABOR WORKFORCE FOR TO
DETERMINE. THE GOVERNOR HAS
RECOMMENDED LOOKING AT WHAT WE
NEED TO DO FOR CLIMATE GOALS
HAS RECOMMENDED THREE KEY AREAS
TO BEGIN WITH TRACK
TRANSPORTATION TRANSFORMATION.
CONSORT AGRICULTURE AND
FORESTRY AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY
WHICH IS REALLY THE WASTE AND
RECYCLING. SECTOR WE KNOW THAT
GRANT FUNDING CAN ONLY TAKE US
SO FAR WHEN IT COMES TO SOLVING
OUR CLIMATE CHALLENGES AND
PRIVATE MARKETS WILL ULTIMATELY
FINANCE MOST OF THIS
TRANSITION. BUT WE ARE NOT
CURRENTLY ON PACE. TO ALLOCATE
ENOUGH CAPITAL FAST ENOUGH TO
ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM THIS IS A
MECHANISM TO DE RISK THAT
CAPITAL IN THE PRIVATE MARKET.
AND JUST AND EGG ESSENTIALLY
CATALYZE THE PRIVATE SECTOR TO
BE PARTNERS WITH US. ON MEETING
OUR CLIMATE COMMITMENTS. THE
BANK AND GO VETS HAVE ALREADY
IDENTIFIED NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS INSTALLED THE
PROJECTS OR PRODUCTS THAT DON'T
EXACTLY FIT THE CRITERIA OTHER
AGENCIES EGGS. GRANT OR LOOK
PROGRAM. AND IN A DAY THREE
HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS IN
CAPITAL GAP. IN JUST IN THE
THREE AREAS IDENTIFIED THERE IS
A MASSIVE TYPE ONE. OF THE
PROJECTS AT WE ARE WE REALLY BE.
IT IS NECESSARY TO CARRY.
PROJECTS IN THAT FUNDING. THE
CLIMATE IT IS NOW THE BEGINNING
AND AT OF HOW THE- THINGS
CLIMATE CHANGE THIS BUDGET
COMPLIMENTS ON GOING
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS SUCH
AS THOSE IN THE TRANSPORTATION
BUDGET. SUCH AS THOSE BEING
MADE BY THE GENERAL SERVICES
THAT ARE ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR
CLIMATE RISK AND VULNERABILITY
AND IT BUILDS ON THE GOVERNOR'S
RECENT CLIMATE EXECUTIVE ORDER
AND NINETEEN NINETEEN WHICH
PRIORITIZE RESILIENCE. AND
MITIGATION ACROSS ALL OF OUR
AGENCIES AND ALL VESTMENTS WE
TOO MUST BE A BEST IN CLASS
INVESTOR AN ASSET OWNER HERE IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WHEN WE
THINK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE. HOW
WILL WE DO ALL THE INTEGRATION
OF ALL THESE DIFFERENT PIECES
ONE OF THE COMMON THEMES YOU'LL
SEE ACROSS THE BUDGET IS THE
STRATEGIC GROWTH COUNCIL WHICH
IS A COUNCIL. A PUBLIC COUNCIL
BAGLEY KEENE PUBLIC COUNCIL
MADE UP OF ALL OF US AGENCY
SECRETARIES HERE PLUS HEALTH
AND HUMAN SERVICES AND
TRANSPORTATION. THAT WILL
ESSENTIALLY A LOOK ACROSS ALL
THESE PROGRAMS LOOK FOR AREAS
OF INTEGRATION LIFT UP AREAS
THAT ARE DEFINING BARRIERS IN
THE EXISTING AGENCIES. AND WILL
FOCUS ON IMPLEMENTATION IN AN
EFFICIENT BOWEL AND COORDINATED
MANNER. WE'RE VERY EXCITED
ABOUT THIS APPROACH WE HOPE YOU
ARE TOO AND WE LOOK FOR TO
WORKING WITH YOU TO MOVE.
FORWARD THANK MUCH. YOUR
MITCHELL OF SENATORS. WADE
CRAWFORD FROM THE NATURIST
ARSES AGENCY- I'LL START WITH
THE WORD OF THANKS. WE ARE
HAVING THIS DISCUSSION TODAY ON
CLIMATE RESILIENCE BOND AS A
RESULT OF LEADERSHIP.
DEMONSTRATED BY SENATORS AND
ASSEMBLY MEMBERS LAST YEAR THAT
REALLY GOT THIS DISCUSSION
STARTED. I THINK WE'RE VERY
EXCITED THAT THE GOVERNOR ADDED
HIS COMMITMENT TO. MOVING
FORWARD A CLIMATE RESILIENCE
BOND HOPEFULLY THIS NOVEMBER. I
IN REALLY OBSERVE THAT IT IS
ENERGIZING TO ALL BE WORKING IN
THE SAME DIRECTION WHICH IS HOW
CAN WE MAKE SMART INVESTMENTS
TO PROTECT OUR PEOPLE AND
PLACES FROM THE IMPACTS OF
CLIMATE CHANGE. BOND OR ARE
PROPOSED BY REALLY THE
CENTERPIECE OF WHAT WE CONSIDER
TO BE AN ELEVATED STRATEGY ON
CLIMATE RESILIENCE. AND THE
WORD RESILIENCE IS GETS TOSSED
AROUND A LOT- IN DISCUSSIONS
LIKE THESE ALL TAKE A MOMENT TO.
FIND IT. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
CLIMATE RESILIENCE WE REALLY
TALK ABOUT PROTECTING OUR
PEOPLE AND OUR PLACES IN
CALIFORNIA FROM THE IMPACTS OF
CLIMATE CHANGE. AND WE TALK
ABOUT PROTECTING THEM IT'S NOT
STOPPING THESE IMPACTS ON
HAPPENING. NOW WE CAN'T DO
THAT- BUT WHAT IT IS WHAT WHAT
IT IS FOCUSED ON DOING IS
HELPING OUR COMUNITIES ARE
NATURE- WHETHER ADAPTING
ULTIMATELY DRIVE OMITS THE TAX.
YOU KNOW I'VE I'VE WORKED ON
CLIMATE CHANGE FOR. A COUPLE OF
DECADES AND WE USED TO THINK
ABOUT CLIMATE ADAPTATION IS
SORT OF THIS WONKY. SOMEWHAT
BORING EXERCISE IN PLANNING FOR
FUTURE DECADES. AND I THINK WE
ALL REALIZE THAT IT IS REALLY
INVOLVED INTO A MATTER OF LIFE
AND DEATH. IF YOU THINK ABOUT
THE CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRES WE
EXPERIENCE OVER THE LAST THREE
YEARS THAT TURNED UP FULLY 3%
OF OURS IT'S LAND MASS AND COST
PEOPLE THEIR LIVES AND HOMES.
WE KNOW THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE-
ARE HERE AND I WILL I WERE SO
EXCITED TO BE OCT PARTNERING
WITH YOU IT LEADERS TO THINK
ABOUT WHAT ARE THE BEST
INVESTMENT. TO PROTECT AGAINST
IMPACTS. AS YOU ARE BOND
PROPOSED IS TOTAL POINT SEVEN
FIVE BILLION DOLLARS- WITH 35%
OF THAT TOTAL- FOCUSED ON
SUPPORTING DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES. THE WAY WE DECIDED
TO ORGANIZE OUR PROPOSAL FOR
DISCUSSION IS AS KATE MENTIONED
AROUND FIVE PRIMARY. RISKS OR
THREATS THAT WE FACE. A
WILDFIRE. DROUGHT FLOOD
SEALEVEL RISE AND EXTREME HEAT.
AND DEPENDING ON THE YEAR THE
CONSTITUENCY REPRESENT- YOUR
CONSTITUENTS ARE FACING ONE.
FOR ALL OF THOSE BATS. IN SO IN
BREAKING UP OUR PROPOSAL WE-
HAVE FIVE CATS ZERO WAS THROUGH
ITS AN IN A SIX. FOCUSED ON
COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS. OUR
PROPOSED USE OF THE BOND
FUNDING IS AS AS- FEEDBACK
MENTIONED- ORGANIZED OR BE
DRIVEN FROM THESE ARE
RESILIENCE PRINCIPLES- THAT WE
HOPE- WE CAN DISCUSS HERE IN
COMING WEEKS- INTEGRATED
INVESTMENTS THAT CAPTURE
MULTIPLE BENEFITS AT ONCE. THAT
FOCUS ON THE MOST VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES- THREATENED BY
THESE IMPACTS ARE HIGHLIGHTING
ARE ELEVATING NATURAL SOLUTIONS
THAT RE INTEGRATE NATURE- TO
PROTECT US AND OBVIOUSLY AS A
PLEASE IN CALIFORNIA BASED ON
THE BEST AVAILABLE SCIENCE. AS
A BY OR THE GENERAL OBLIGATION
BOND WERE FOCUSED ON ONE TIME
INVESTMENTS- THAT LAST FOR
THIRTY YEARS SO DISTINGUISHED
FROM FOR EXAMPLE THE USES OF G.
G. R. OFF OR OR GENERAL FUND.
OUR APPROACH IS TO SUGGEST
THESE BROAD CATEGORIES THAT ARE
I. EXECUTIVE BRANCH AGENCIES.
WOULD BUILD PROGRAMS AROUND AND
THEN BRING THOSE PROPOSED
PROGRAMS BACK TO THE
LEGISLATURE IN THE FORM OF
BUDGET CHANGE PROPOSALS- TO
ENSURE ACCOUNTABILITY OF OUR
DECISIONS AND ALSO. ENABLE YOU
TO HELP US- SHAPE AND REFINE
THOSE PROGRAMS. ALL OF THE OF
THE BOND- A LARGE PORTION OF IT
WE ARE SUGGESTING- SHOULD BE
INVESTED IN WATER. I IN
SPECIFICALLY DROUGHT AND FLOOD
AND I WOULD OBSERVE EVERY
DISTRICT IN THE STATE
REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU
REPRESENT I HAVE COMMUNITIES
WITH VERY SPECIFIC PRIORITIES-
TO IMPROVE THEIR THEIR FLOOD
PREPAREDNESS AND THEY'RE
DROUGHT PREPAREDNESS. AND WE
BELIEVE THAT WHILE WE'VE MADE.
SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS THROUGH
PROP ONE THE WA BOND INTO FOUR
TO AND PROP SIXTY. IN EIGHTEEN
THAT MORE IN BY. IN THE
RESILIENCE OF OUR WATER SYSTEMS
IS CRITICAL. THE GOVERNOR
DIRECTED MANY OF OUR AGENCIES
LAST YEAR TO DEVELOP A
TRANSPARENT WATER RESILIENCE
PORTFOLIO WHICH IS REALLY MEANT
TO BE THE NEW SIM
ADMINISTRATION'S ROADMAP OF
WHAT WE NEED TO DO IN THE NEXT
FEW YEARS TO BUILD THE WATER
RESILIENCE ACROSS THE STATE.
COMING DECADES AND SO- WHAT WE
RECOMMEND WITHIN THE WATER
PORTION OF THE BOND REALLY IS
DRIVEN BY THAT DROPPED WATER
RESILIENCE PORTFOLIO. THAT THAT
BENEFITTED FROM A WHOLE LOT OF
PUBLIC INPUT. THE THIRD AREA
BUT I'M BEYOND WATER IN AND OUR
SORRY DROUGHT AND FLOOD IS
OBVIOUSLY WILD FIRE IN
INVESTMENTS IN THIS PROPOSED
BOND COMPLEMENT THOSE ALREADY
MADE IN THE GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTION FIND. A SIZEABLE
INVESTMENT WE PROPOSE SHOULD BE
MADE IN A HARDENING
COMMUNITIES. SO PROTECTING THAT
COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE THAT
NEEDS TO STAY UP AND RUNNING IN
THE CASE OF A WILDFIRE LIKE A
PUBLIC HOSPITAL- LIKE A PLACE
OF REFUGE. FOR COMMUNITY
MEMBERS TO GO- LIKE CERTAIN
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE KNOW
THAT COMMUNITIES NEED TO HAVE
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FIRE. AT
THE SAME TIME INVESTMENT SHOULD
BE MADE IN FOREST HEALTH. WHICH
COMPLEMENTS WHAT WE CALL
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT FOR THE
COMMUNITY FUEL BREAKS AND
REALLY LOOKING AT OLE. ALL HOW
WE- FOR THE FOR. IS THE RIVER
CASH WILDFIRE BUT ALL TO
PROTECT THE SO AND QUALITY OF
OUR WATER SYSTEMS THOSE FOREST
THOSE HEADLINES ARE REALLY THE
BEGINNING OF OUR WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE. ON SEA LEVEL
RISE I THINK WE'RE ALL BECOMING
MORE EDUCATED TO JUST HOW
CATASTROPHIC THIS CAN BE I AND
I WOULD ARGUE THAT- SEA LEVEL
RISE INVESTMENTS ARE ARE ARE
LESS WELL DEVELOPED IN OUR
STATE- THEN WATER AND WILD FIRE
INVESTMENTS AND ALSO THE
IMPACTS WILL BE REALIZED. A
LITTLE BIT MORE SLOWLY. BUT
THERE ARE CLEAR NO REGRETS
SOLUTIONS THAT WE NEED TO
INVEST IN INCLUDING COASTAL.
WETLANDS EXPANDING COASTAL
WETLANDS THAT REALLY SERVE AS
THE SPONGE TO ABSORB THAT THOSE
INCREASING SEES. FIFTH AREA IS
EXTREME HEAT THERE ARE A LOT OF
COMMUNITIES IN OUR STATE
PARTICULARLY IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
AND- ANIMAL HOBBY IN COLORADO
DESERT GOING TO BE EXPERIENCING
MORE DANGEROUS- LONGER PERIODS
OF HEAT INTO THE FUTURE. AND
OUR INVESTMENTS NEED REFLECT
THIS- THROUGH DOUBLING DOWN ON
BOURBON GREENING TREE PLANTING
I. LIVE TECHNOLOGIES BASIC
TECHNOLOGIES. ARE PERMEABLE-
PAVE MEN AND REFLECT THE
PAVEMENT AND THEN LASTLY
COMMUNITY RESILIENCE WE THINK
IT'S PRUDENT TO MAKE
INVESTMENTS AND COMMUNITY
RESILIENCE CENTERS THAT CAN BE
THAT SHELTER THAT PLACE OF
REFUGE FOR COMMUNITIES- DURING
A CRISES BUT THEY CAN ALSO HAVE
OTHER OTHER USES. DURING NORMAL
TIMES AND THAT SMALL INVESTMENT
IN COMMUNITY RESILIENCE
PLANNING. RE THE FACT THAT
THINGS IN TYPICALLY BUT HE
FUNDED BY BONDS BUT AT A
LIMITED LEVEL IT WOULD BE
APPROPRIATE HERE- LASTLY SAY
THAT WE ARE NOT ONLY THINK THIS
IS NECESSARY WE THINK THIS IS
FISCALLY PRUDENT- WHAT WE
INVEST IN NOW. BUILDING OUR
RESILIENCE AND ADAPT TO CLIMATE
CHANGE IS LESS FUNDING THAT
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO SPEND
LATER- CONSIDER THAT THE
RESPONSE AND CLEAN UP TO THE
CAMPFIRE ALREADY EXCEEDS TWO
BILLION DOLLARS. SO TO THE
EXTENT THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY
REDUCE THE RISK AND LAST AND OF
THESE MAJOR CLIMATE IMPACTS-
LATE CATASTROPHIC WILD FIRE OR
COMMUNITIES PREPARE FOR THAT
EPIC YOU KNOW TEN YOUR JOB OUT.
WE THINK IS AUTUMN A REALLY
STRONG AND. THANK YOU FOR
ALLOWING ME TO. AND THEN I'LL
TURN IT OVER MY COLUMN
SECRETARY BLUMENFELD. THANK YOU
EIGHT THANK CHAD MITCHELL
CHAIRWOMAN SECOND OF PA IT'S TO
BE HERE WITH YOU TODAY AND I'D
WANT TO START BY THANKING YOU
FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP- WHEREVER
YOU GO AROUND THE WORLD PEOPLE
ARE LOOKING AT CALIFORNIA'S
EXAMPLE. DECOUPLING ECONOMIC
GROWTH FROM CARBON EMISSIONS
AND IT REALLY IS THE SUCCESS
STORY THAT WE NEED TO KEEP
FOLLOWING UP ON I THINK WHAT
YOU'RE HEARING IN THIS
COLLABORATIVE I'M ACROSS AGENCY
APPROACH. IS ONE WHERE THERE
WAS A VERY STRONG FOCUS I'M IN
THE LAST ADMINISTRATION
MITIGATION AND WE'RE GONNA TALK
ABOUT THAT IN A MINUTE BUT
JOINED WITH MEDICATION NOW
ADAPTATION. SEE AND WHAT KAREN
SECRETARY RUSSELL SPEAK TO IS
SEQUESTRATION WE HAVE.
AMBITIOUS GOAL WHICH IS TO GET
THE CARBON NEUTRALITY. TWENTY
FORTY FIVE. THAT GOAL SCIENCE
AND AN I THINK ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT SHOCKED ME THE MOST
YEAR THE- MEDICAL CAME OUT IN
JUNE AND SAID THAT CLIMATE
CHANGE IS THE SINGLE BIGGEST
HEALTH THREAT. TO THE UNITED
STATES. AND WE OFTEN DON'T
THINK OF IT THREE HUMAN HEALTH
LANDS- BUT MANY OF THE THINGS
THAT WE CARE ABOUT IN
CALIFORNIA WE HAVE SOME OF THE
WEST AT QUALITY WITH SOME OF
THE HIGHEST ASTHMA RATES-
THINGS LIKE. BLACK CARBON ALL
PM TWO POINT FIVE FROM DIESEL
EMISSIONS REALLY. READ HAVOC IN
OUT COMMUNITIES TODAY SO I'M
I'M GONNA WALK US THROUGH THE-
THE FOCUS ON WHAT WE'RE DOING
IN THE GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION
FUND- I WOULD SAY THAT WE KIND
OF. THE CAGE PINE WENT THROUGH
A DISCIPLINED EXERCISE OF
TRYING TO SEGMENT AL. WHAT IS
MOST APPROPRIATE WET- AND- I
HAD TO THIS EXERCISE THOSE A
LOT PROBABLY IN THE G. GIRAFFE
BUDGET THAT HAD TO DO THAT A
PATIENT WE WORK COLLABORATIVELY
TO TRY AND PUT THAT. OF THAT
INTO THE BOND AND REALLY THINK
ABOUT WHAT WHAT SHOULD I FRAME
BE SO AS THE LA- MENTIONED- ON
TOP OF THE CONTINUES
APPROPRIATION THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET PROPOSES NINE HUNDRED
AND SIXTY FIVE MILLION DOLLAR.
I'M CAP AND TRADE EXPENDITURE
PLAN WHICH PRIORITISED IS
EMISSION REDUCTIONS- IN THE
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR THAT WAS
A QUESTION THAT THE CHAIRMAN OF
THE HOUSE I'M JUST GONNA. PAY
WHICH IS HOW LEN. USED TO CATCH
DEGENERATE AND- THE GREEN
PRODUCTION FUND IF THREE FOR.
WITH THAT KIND OF TOUCH ON IT
BUT I WANTED TO FOCUS ON THAT
ON THE AS THE ARE TIED THING
FIVE PROGRAM ADDRESS ALL OF THE
IN BONDAGE COMMUNITY. SEC.
THING FOR. DO YOU. AND ALL OF
THE ABOVE APPROACH TO
ADDRESSING EMISSION REDUCTIONS
IN THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR.
THE LARGEST GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS SOURCE IN CALIFORNIA
BY INVESTING IN ALL ASPECTS OF
TRANSPORTATION INCLUDING
TRANSIT PRO DRUG PROGRAM
STRATEGIES TO REDUCE VEHICLE
MILES TRACK. SENATE WELL AS- A
CALL CENTER PROGRAM.
SPECIFICALLY THE CAP AND TRADE
EXPENDITURE PLAN TARGETS CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION IN THE FOLLOWING
WAYS IT PROVIDES ONE POINT FOUR
BILLION IN CONTINUING FUNDING
FOR TRANSIT RAIL TRANSIT
ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
INCLUDING HIGH SPEED RAIL.
TRANSIT INTERCITY RAIL CAPITAL
PROGRAMS LOW CARBON TRANSIT
OPERATIONS AND AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND SUSTAINABLE
COMMUNITIES THE PLAN
COMPLIMENTS DISCONTINUOUS
FUNDING BY PRIORITIZING QUALITY
AND DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.
ESPECIALLY THE PROGRAMS THAT
AIM THAT TRUCK US OFF ROAD AN
AVERAGE JOE VEHICLES WERE
AMERICANS HAVE PROPORTION
IMPACT ON ON THE POPULATIONS
BOTH URBAN. AND RURAL
COMMUNITIES SPECIFICALLY THE
ADMINISTRATION'S CAP AND TRADE
PACKAGE DIRECTS TWO HUNDRED
MILLION TO AB SEVENTEEN SIX
SEVENTEEN PROGRAM AS WELL AS
ANOTHER TWO HUNDRED BILLION
SPECIFICALLY TO REDUCE
EMISSIONS FROM IESEL TRUCKS.
AND AGRICULTURAL FARM EQUIPMENT.
IT XCELERATED CLEAN VEHICLE
FLEET TRANSITION BY INVESTING
TWO HUNDRED MILLION IN DIRECT
CONSUMER INCENTIVES FOR CLEAN
COP PASSENGER VEHICLES
INCLUDING USE BECAUSE ON THE
SECONDARY MARKET. AS A VERY
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
NOTED ON THE ONSET OF THE
PRESENTATION THERE'S A
SIGNIFICANT DECREASE WITHLESS
DISCRETIONARY FUNDING FOR THE
GGF THE LAST YEP BY EVEN WITH
THE LOW OVERRULE LEVEL OF
AVAILABLE FUNDING THE PLAN
CONTINUES. A STRONG FOCUS ON
COMMUNITY AIR PROTECTION AND
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WHILE
PRIORITIZING DELIVERING CLEAN
AIR CLEAN WATER AND THE
CALIFORNIA FULL. GOVERNOR
NEWSOME'S CLIMATE AGENDA
RECOGNIZES THAT CLIMATE CHANGE
IS A CALL ISSUE ACROSS AGENCIES%
SECTORS AND REGIONS OF THE
STATE IN ALL CASES AND WE MUST
PRIORITIZE INVESTMENTS AND
VULNERABLE AND DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES. THE STATE'S G.
GIRAFFE EXPENDITURES HAVE
RESULTED IN THE 60% A PROJECT
FUNDING DIRECTLY BENEFITING
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES AND
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES TO DATE
VASTLY EXCEEDING THE STATUTORY
MINIMUM 35% SET AND TO BE FIVE
THIRTY FIVE AND A. B. FIFTEEN
FIFTY. WE WILL ANTICIPATE THAT
THIS RATE INVESTMENT WILL
CONTINUE IN THE COMMUNITIES
WITH HIGHEST NEEDS FOR THESE
FUNDS. I ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT
THAT. ONE OF THE PROPERTIES
THAT HELPS THE STATE REDUCE ITS
GREENHOUSE GASES OTHER POLICIES
INCLUDE THE RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO
STANDARD HELLO CARBON FUEL
STANDARD ADVANCE CLEAN BECAUSE
SHORT LIVED CLIMATE POLLUTANTS
STRATEGY AMONG OTHERS THE GOAL
OF THE CLIMB IS COPING PLAN.
AND ITS SUITE OF POLICIES TO
ACHIEVE EMISSION REDUCTIONS AND
NOT SET AN ARBITRARY PRIZE FOR
ONE POLICY PORTFOLIO APPROACH
LAB FOR US IN REDUCING
EMISSIONS BELOW THE TWENTY
TWENTY TARGET FOR YEARS AHEAD
OF SCHEDULE. AND WITH THAT I
WILL TURN IT OVER TO SECRETARY
ROSS. THANK YOU. SIR MITCHELL
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME
AND I FEEL HONORED TO BE ABLE
TO SPEAK BEFORE THE BIRTHDAY
BOY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. CALIFORNIA
IS A POWERHOUSE IN AGRICULTURE
IN FACT ONE FOURTH OF OUR LAND
MASS ABOUT TWENTY FIVE MILLION
ACRES IS IN THE HANDS OF
FARMERS AND RANCHERS WHO ARE ON
THAT LAND EVERYDAY SO IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT AG IS A PART OF
THE SOLUTION BUT ALSO WE
RECOGNIZE AS THE LAND BASED
INDUSTRY AGRICULTURE IS VERY
MUCH AT THE CENTER OF
RESILIENCE AS WELL AS- A DOCTOR.
THE PEOPLE PART OF BEING ABLE
TO BRING OUR- RESULT IS CLIMATE
WARRIORS IS THAT THEY CAN STEP
IN AND SEQUESTER CARBON TO TAKE
CARBON FROM THE ATMOSPHERE. AND
PUT IT IN TORRANCE OF. THE SOIL
HELP BUT WE NEED TO CONTINUE
OUR PRODUCTIVITY BECAUSE ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT WE NOW FROM
WHAT THE U. N. HAS OUTLINED IN
WHAT THE WORLD SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT GOALS ARE. IS THAT
FOOD SECURITY. IS VERY MUCH
THREATENED BY CLIMATE CHANGE WE
ARE ALREADY SEEING THAT ON
OTHER CONTINENTS WE DON'T WANT
TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN HERE. SO WE
KNOW THAT IT. TORY AGRICULTURE
IS ACTUALLY 8% OF AYE MISSIONS
FOR CLIMATE. AND WE KNOW THAT
OTHER EIGHT PERCENT.
AGRICULTURE IS RESPONSIBLE 455%
OF THE METHANE EMISSIONS. SO
IT'S TO THE CREDIT OF THIS
LEGISLATURE PREVIOUS
ADMINISTRATIONS AND THE CURRENT
ONE. THAT WE HAVE BEEN MAKING
INVESTMENTS TO ADDRESS THAT.
I'M IN A VERY SIGNIFICANT WAY
IS BECAUSE OF STATE INVESTMENT
IN OUR TARIAN LIVESTOCK METHANE
EMISSION REDUCTION PROGRAM THAT
WERE ALREADY HALFWAY TO THE
GOAL THAT WAS SET FOR US AND
THAT'S BECAUSE WE'VE HAD
INVESTMENT. ADMINISTRATION
PROJECTS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
INCENTIVE DOLLARS TO HELP SHARE
WITHOUT. WE ALSO KNOW WE'VE
BEEN ABLE TO IMPROVE OUR AIR
QUALITY ESPECIALLY IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY FOR ALL THOSE
HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS AND VEHICLES
ARE. THROUGH A PROGRAM THAT'S
ACTUALLY ADMINISTERED BY THE
AIRPORT CALL THE FARMER PROGRAM
IT'S AN ENGINE AND EQUIPMENT
REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. AND HAS
MADE A REMARKABLE DIFFERENCE IN
THE AIR QUALITY IN THE PUBLIC
HEALTH OF OUR CITIZENS
ESPECIALLY IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY. WE ALSO KNOW THAT WERE
BUILT CLIMATE CILLIAN CITY
BECAUSE OF THE EARLY INVEST WE
MAY IN OUR HEALTHY SOILS
PROGRAM. AT STARTED OVER SMART
GRAMS THE ON FARM WATER OF FISH
PER CALL SWEET BECAUSE WERE IN
GOVERNMENT AND WE HAVE TO HAVE
AN ACRONYM FOR EVERYTHING. THIS
COMPANY BUDGET PACKAGE WITH T.
G. R. F. THE CLIMATE RESILIENCY
BOND AND THE CLIMATE CATALYST
REVOLVING LOAN FUND TAKE A VERY
SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO ALL THE
THINGS THAT HAPPEN ON THE LAND
WE ARE FARMING IN A BIOLOGICAL
SYSTEM. AND I LIKE THAT WE'VE
LAID OUT OF BUT THAT HAVE. A
WHOLE PORTFOLIO OF ACTIONS FOR
IT. FIRST OF ALL THE T. G. R.
F. PROPOSAL THIS YEAR. IS THAT
INVESTMENT AND THE FARMER
PROGRAM. WITH FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS. A CONTINUES AND
INVESTMENT IN THE DAIRY AND
LIVESTOCK METHANE REDUCTION
PROGRAM. ANY MILLION DOLLAR. IT
THE INVESTMENT IN THE HEALTHY
SOILS PROGRAM AT EIGHTEEN
MILLION DOLLARS. AND A PROGRAM
THAT'S ADMINISTERED BY THE
STRATEGIC GROWTH COUNCIL WHICH
IS OUR SUSTAINABLE AG LAND
CONSERVATION CRAMP PREVENTING
VULNERABLE LANDS FROM BEING
CONVERTED TO MORE INTENSIVE
USES WE DO HAVE A CONTINUOUS
APPROPRIATION FOR THAT PROGRAM.
RIGHT NOW IT'S BEEN FOR THE
LAST COUPLE OF YEARS
APPROXIMATELY FORTY MILLION
DOLLARS YEAR WITH PROTECTED
OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND ACRES.
CARBON SINK ACRES I MIGHT ADD.
UP OF NOTE ON THE CLIMATE
RESILIENCE BOND OF ONE ASPECT
OF THAT IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL
FARMING PROGRAM THIS IS A WAY
OF BRINGING TOGETHER A
MULTITUDE OF A MENU OF
PRACTICES THAT CAN BE ON THE
LAND. IF YOU TAKE IT INTEGRATED
SYSTEMATIC WHICH PROJECTS
MULTIPLE MULTIPLE BENEFITS BE
HEALTHY SOILS A COULD BE ON
FORM WATER USE EFFICIENCY IT
COULD BE NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT.
UP TO FIRST ASPECT NUMBER
PRACTICES THAT AB. IT ALSO
SEQUESTER CARBON- THE CLIMB A
CATALYST REVOLVING LOAN FUND IS
AN IMPORTANT TO ALL UP. IN THAT
IT WILL LEAD THE PRICE CAP THE
KATE ABOUT INVEST. I'M AT SHIRT.
THEIR PRIVATE IN BECAUSE IT'S
KNOWN FOR. A SLIGHTLY RETURN
THAT SOME OF THE TECHNOLOGIES
THAT PEOPLE ARE USED TO
INVESTING IN OR A SLOWER
RETURN. THAT AGRICULTURE IS
ACTUALLY VERY SAFE DADDY RETURN
AND SO I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE
THAT THE REVOLVING LOAN FUND BE
MADE OF FOR SMART AGRICULTURE.
JUST TWO BANDS THAT COME TO
MIND WOULD BE A GOOD FIT FOR
THIS WOULD BE OUR NOTHING
REDUCTION PROGRAM. THESE ARE
THESE ARE SOMETIMES VERY LARGE
SCALE- DERRY DIGESTIVE PROJECTS
BUT ALSO A PROGRAM THAT WE WERE
ABLE TO FUND FOR IT HERE THIS
CALL SUSTAINABLE PROCESSING
WOULD YOU THINK ABOUT THE
SEASONAL NATURE OF. PASSING IT
ENERGY INTENSE WE REALLY COULD
TAKE A PROGRAM THAT THE SAYS. I
THINK THE SHOT THE SHIP. UP
SEIZE. THINGS IS WHERE NAY
INVESTMENTS COULD BE MADE AND
THIS. COME OF OUR ENTIRE FOR
SAYS THROUGH ALL OF THIS WE AT
THE- OF THREE THE ADMIN. HAVE
MADE A VERY FIRM AND DEEP
COMMITMENT TO MAKING SURE THAT
OUR DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES
AND SOCIALLY UNDER REPRESENTED
FARMERS. HAVE ACCESS THE TOOLS
THAT ARE AVAILABLE THAT THEY
HAVE THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
ABLE TO. GRANT AND THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT WE'RE COMMITTED
TO AT LEAST 35% OF OUR
EXPENDITURES GOING FOR. I AM
VERY PROUD TO SAY THAT A NUMBER
OF OUR PRO. THE ABOUT 35%
THRESHOLD. SEVEN I THANK YOU
FOR YOUR ATTENTION I KNOW ALL
IN OUR TO GO. BUT I'M- THIS
AFTER A FEW MORE MINUTES. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR ATTENTION
THANK YOU VERY MADAM THAT WAS
FUNNY BEFORE I QUEUE UP-
SENATOR NIELSEN FIRST FOLLOWED
BY SENATOR WHITE HOUSE SKI
OUGHT. AND THE OTHERS. LET ME
JUST QUICKLY ASK AND I AND I
HAVE ROTH PAN STERN MCGUIRE.
AND SKINNER THANK YOU MISS
SKINNER. THANK YOU. BEFORE
THREE TWO BILLS AND ASK THIS
QUESTION IF I COULD JUST ASK
MISS GORDON GORDON FOR YOUR
CURRENT PUBLIC MEMBERS OF THE
STRATEGIC GROWTH COUNCIL- OUR
CURRENT PUBLIC WILL BE JUST
LOST SADLY A PUBLIC MEMBER-
BECAUSE ON FISH I TO RETIRE TO
GO RUN GAP INCORPORATED WAS
TAKING AN ARTIST I AM SAID WAS
ON FORTUNE. I'M WE HAVE. NICOLE
COULD THINK WAS GOING
FORGETTING THE HOLES NAME OUT
AND IT'S FROM SAN DIEGO THEN WE
ALSO. I WHY AM I JUST NINETY
NINE CITY MANAGER OF. PLAN
LOUISE BETTER THIS BEHIND ME
RUNS IS READY TO GROWTH COUNCIL
AND HAS ALL THE NAMES AT OUR
FINGERTIPS YOU WANT TO. THEY
WERE THERE. NICOLE CAFRITZ RIP
THE CLIMATE ACTION CAMPAIGN
DOWN IN SAN DIEGO AND MICHAEL
FLAT IT WHO'S THE CITY MANAGER
OF THE CITY OF SOUTH GATE.
HELLO THEIR NEW NAME SINCE I.
CONNECTED WITH FOLKS ALRIGHT
THANK YOU FOR THAT THINK I'D BE
BETTER ON IT SINCE I CHAIR THE
STREET. YOU KNOW HEY MY MIND
JUST WENT BLANK WHEN I
UNDERSTAND IF THE- ENGINEER
OFTEN. ALL THINGS ARE VERY
DYNAMIC. AND I'M OFFERING SOME
THOUGHTS HERE. AT THIS POINT
NOT AS CRITICISMS THOSE
CONCERNS THAT MADE DEVELOP INTO
CRITICISM BUT THAT IS NOT WHERE
I'M COMING FROM AT THIS POINT.
WHAT WOULD BE THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE CAP AND TRADE AS WE
ARE NOW UTILIZING CAP AND
TRADE. IN THE CATALYST FOUGHT.
THE BILL DUPLICATIVE ARE THEY
COMPLEMENTARY. HOW ARE THEY
DIFFERENT AND I SEE THAT
THERE'S SOME DIFFERENCE MAY BE
IN DECISION MAKING IS TO HELP
FUNDS WOULD BE ALLOTTED BUT
WHAT WHAT WOULD YOU DEFINE AS A
MAJOR DIFFERENCE DID YOU WANT
US TO WAIT FOR YOUR QUESTIONS
AND LET ALL SUMMER ONE SOMEONE.
SO HAPPENED TRADE IS. A THIS
MOMENT I'M- GRANT FUND. SO
CABIN TRADE PROGRAM IS MADE UP
OF PROGRAMS WHERE WE'RE GIVING
DIRECT GRANTS TO RECIPIENTS AND
IN SOME CASES THOSE GRANTED
DON'T COVER THE ENTIRE COST OF
A PROGRAM IN SOME CASES THEY'RE
PLANNING GRANTS. THE CATALYST
FUND WOULD BE INTENDED AS A
REVOLVING LOAN FUND WHICH WOULD
OWN THE LAND. TO AND NOT TO
VIGILS BUT ONLY LANDS TO ENTER.
SO WHERE THOSE ARE CALMER.
RESULT CITY. PRICE IT WOULD
LENDS TO ENTITIES INTERVAL IT
WITH A VERY VERY LOW INTEREST
RATE LOAN- AND ESSENTIALLY I
ASK FOR THAT TO COME BACK INTO
THE PROGRAMS THAT WOULD BE ON
GOING. COUPLE OF IMPORTANT
THINGS ABOUT. AND WE SEE VERY
COMPLIMENTARY SO I'D JERRY ROSS
GIVE A GOOD EXAMPLE FROM THAT
DERRY DIGEST OR WERE. AT BIRDS
TEND TO THE GRANT PER CAP AND
TRADE FOR JERRY DIED ESTHER'S
WE ALSO KNOW FROM THE CAPITAL
MARKETS THAT MANY THESE FIVE
PROJECTS CAN IN FACT FIND
FUNDING IN THE CAPITAL MARKETS
BUT AT VERY HIGH RATES SO
THAT'S AN AREA WHERE WE MIGHT
USE THE GRANT PROGRAM FOR
FRIENDS. A VERY SMALL
OPERATIONS OR FOR A PROGRAM
THAT JUST REALLY HAS TO DO
SOMETHING THROUGH A GRANT BUT
THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO. PUT
PUT SOMEONE OVER INTO THE
CATALYST FUND. OR AYE WHO'S
MORE ELIGIBLE FOR LOANS WE SEE
THEM IS VERY COMPLIMENTARY
ANOTHER GREAT EXAMPLE IS THE-
EVEY DAY PROGRAM IN THE- IN
THE- DISCUSS OPTION FUND WHICH
GIVES DIRECT. READING TO
PURCHASE A- TWO CAN. NO FOR ALL
OF THE RESEARCH THAT'S DONE AND
ACTUALLY FROM TALKING TO- THOSE
OUT IN THE MARKET PLACE THAT
ONE OF THE BIG BARRIERS TO EVEY
EXPANSION IS ACTUALLY THE LACK
OF INFRASTRUCTURE FOR CHARGING.
TO THE CATALYST FUND WOULD BE
ABLE TO SUPPLEMENT THAT PROGRAM
YOU GOT THE REBATES OVER HERE
AND THEN THE CAPITALIST
OFFERING. ZERO INTEREST ROUTE
OWNS FOUR OR LOAN GUARANTEES
FOR ET INFRASTRUCTURE
PARTICULARLY IN AREAS AND HARD
MAX IN CAPITAL. WE SEE THEM IS
IN A GREAT. I THE- ANALYSTS
VERY CRITICAL OF THIS PROGRAM
AND I GUESS I WOULD
CHARACTERIZE IT AS I'D LIKE TO
SEE A LOT MORE MEAT ON THE BONE.
AND I'M VERY OF THAT MEET BEING
APPLIED TO THE BONE AND JUST
BUDGET CHANGE PROPOSALS. OR IN
TRAILER BILLS. I NEED TO SEE
THAT IT'S MUCH BETTER FOR THE
PUBLIC IF IT'S AN POLICY
COMMITTEES WHERE WE REVIEW
THESE MATTERS SO I'D ASK YOU TO
CONSIDER. THE GREATER DEPTH OF
REVIEW. ABSOLUTELY AND WE ARE
AND WHEN I SAY WE I REALLY MEAN
OB I BANK AND THEN YOU HAVE AYE
BANKS GOT WE WAS SITTING RIGHT
BEHIND ME IF YOU HAVEN'T MET
HIM- I AM THE CHIEF DEPUTY. IS
SITTING RIGHT AT HIM THANK AND
GOBIZ HAVE BEEN. ACTING FOR THE-
ROLE WEEKS UP IS EXAM. LARGE
PART COMING THE EXISTING
AGENCIES WHO HAVE. DAHLE THE
PROGRAM IS A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR
INSTANCE IS CAL RECYCLED WHICH
HAS MORE THAN FORTY. GRANTS
THAT HAVE GONE UNFUNDED BECAUSE
OF LACK OF MONEY TO BE JUST
WOULD DISTRIBUTE THROUGH THE
GRANT PROGRAM MOST OF THOSE ARE
FOR PLANNING GRANTS WHICH ALSO
NEED. LOANS IF THEY GET THE
PLANNING. SO WITH. SAMPLES FROM
AGENTS WE HAVE SEVEN SPECIFIC
CASE STUDIES THAT WE'RE
BUILDING OUT WE'RE VERY VERY
HAPPY TO SHARE THAT- THOSE
EXAMPLES WITH ANY OF YOU AND OF
COURSE. WE ARE PUTTING THEM
TOGETHER FOR THE LA- AS WELL SO
WE ARE PUTTING TOGETHER THAT
PIPELINE. RESPONSE AND THEY
PUSHED INTO THE LA A COMMENTARY
ON THAT. CARE DID YOU HAVE
SOMETHING YOU WANT TO. TYPE IN
ON THAT. NO I JUST- I THINK
SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS VERY
IMPORTANT BECAUSE AS WE KNOW
THERE ARE FARMERS OF ALL
DIFFERENT SIZES ALL DIFFERENT
SCALES IN ALL DIFFERENT PARTS
OF THE STATE. SOME OF OUR
PROJECTS ARE MUCH. WORK BUT
SOME OF THEM ARE VERY.
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS. SO I
SEE THIS AS A WAY OF REALLY
WE'VE WE'VE DONE SOME SOME
PROOF OUT THERE THAT EIGHT
THESE WORK. THAT THEY MAKES
SENSE FOR THE FARMING OPERATION.
BUT THERE WERE STILL GET IN.
THIS MAIL AT A AT A RAPID PACE
AS WE KNOW WE NEED TO FORK FOR
CLIMATE AND I THINK THIS JUST.
PROVIDES THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY
OF FARMING. ANOTHER OPTION ON
THEIR OWN TIME LINE THAT WORK
BETTER THAN BEING. A TWO. A
GOOD. WE NEVER HAVE. DOLLARS
FOR. EVERY ACRE IN THE STATE.
UNDER ONE A THESE WE NEED TO
FIND. AS MANY ALTERNATIVE WAYS
OF MAKING THIS WORK AS A
COMPLEMENTARY. AT AT REAL
SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO MAKING
THIS HAPPEN I SEE THIS IS
REALLY FITTING PARTS OF THE
FARMING COMMUNITY BUT I'M NOT
GOING TO SAY IT'S GOING TO FIT
EVERY PART OF THE FARMING
COMMUNITY. AND IF I COULD JUST
DO ONE MORE EXAMPLE BECAUSE
IT'S I THINK A REALLY
COMPELLING ONE AND IT'S AN AREA
WHERE WE ALREADY SEE ON.
POTENTIAL BORROWERS GOING TO
AYE BANK TO LOOK FOR SUPPORT.
BUT WE ARE AS YOU KNOW WHEN YOU
HAVE DIRECTED AS A LOT LATER IN
AND BEEN VERY STRONG IN THIS WE
ARE TAKING A LOT OF FOREST
MATERIAL OUT OF OUR FORESTS
RIGHT NOW. THROUGH FORCE
MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS TO REDUCE
FIRE RISK WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY.
ALSO A LARGE PART OF OUR BOTH
TEACHER I FUNDING AND-
RESILIENCE BOND. THAT MATERIAL
COOLEY THE USE. AND HELPING TO
CATALYZE CAN THE I. DEVELOPMENT
IN SOME OF THESE AREAS THROUGH
TRANSFORMING THAT FEED STOCK
INTO. A FRIEND. SOME OF THE
ADVANCED PRODUCT. THAT WE'RE
STILL SEE. AT IS AN AREA WHERE
THERE IS NOT A PRIVATE CAPITAL
A MOST OF OUR COMMUNITY BANKS
THAT USED TO DO RURAL LENDING
TO THOSE TYPES OF PROJECTS ARE
GONE. BECAUSE THE TIMBER
INDUSTRY IS NO LONGER ACTIVE IN
MANY OF THOSE REGIONS WE DON'T
WE HAVE A GAP IN THE ABILITY TO
FUNDS SMALL SCALE FEET WOOD
PRODUCTS FACILITIES BUT NOW
WE'RE TRYING TO FILL BECAUSE WE
HAVE THIS WOOD. COMING OUT IN
SCHOOL GENERATION THAT FRANKLY
THE WHAT IS SITTING ON THE ON
THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN IN IN A
LOT OF CASES THE SLUSH PILES
BEING BURKE. IS NOWHERE TO GO
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MARRY
FORCED MAN. PRIORITY YOUR
MANAGEMENT PARTIES ARE FIVE
PRIORITIES COMMUNITY ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES IN THE
RURAL PARTS OF THE STATE WHERE
THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT WE
ALREADY ARE SEEKING PROJECTS
LIKE THAT WITH FORK PROJECT GO
TO THE BANK. EXIT PROJECT AND
THAT YOU'RE- UNDER HI. RATIONS
THERE USED TO BE EVEN A BONUS
FOR COGENERATION ENERGY AT
STANDARD OFFER FOR CONTRACTS
FOR EXAMPLE WE DON'T HAVE THAT
ANYMORE AND SO THE INCENTIVE.
HAS GOT TO BE THERE MORE AT SO
THAT THAT'S IT THEY CONCERN AS
WE MOVE FORWARD AND I WOULD
SUGGEST THAT AND I HEARD A
REFERENCE JUST A BIT AGO TO
AGRICULTURAL. EQUIPMENT YOU
KNOW THE POLLUTION COMPONENT
THERE UNDERSTAND THAT IT DOES
NOT AGRICULTURE. INDUSTRIAL
TRANSPORTATION. DOES WALL MAJOR
SOURCES AND I WOULD ARGUE EVEN
GREATER THAN AGRICULTURE SO.
YOU KNOW AGRICULTURE IS ALREADY
GIVEN A LOT AND WILL GIVE MORE
AND BE RESPONSIBLE BUT WE
CANNOT IGNORE SO THOSE OTHER
AREAS. ALSO INCORPORATED IN
THIS IS. AND I'D LIKE TO HAVE
THE ANALYST IF HE WOULD COMMENT
ON ON THIS. IT'S LOOKING LIKE
MORE AUTHORITY FOR SOME OF
THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO BE
SEATED IN AGENCIES OF THE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH RATHER THAN
THE LEGISLATURE MENTIONED JUST
A LITTLE BIT AGO THE ONE AREA
WHERE WE WOULD HAVE SOME SAY IT
BUDGET CHANGE REPORT. THAT WHY
WE'RE NOT GONNA DO THIS THAT.
AND THE IF AGE PROCEED TO
IMPLEMENT THINGS THEY WOULD DO
IT THROUGH REGULATIONS THAT
DON'T HAVE A STATUTORY
FOUNDATION THEREFORE BE
UNDERGROUND REGULATIONS- THAT'S
BEEN RAMPAN IN GOVERNMENT FOR
A LONG TIME WE WANT TO AVOID
THAT IF WE CAN. I HOPE THAT'S
NOT THE INTENT HERE. LAMB
ANALYST. YEAH I THINK THAT'S
ONE OF OUR MESSAGES TO YOU IS
AS YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THESE
PROPOSALS THERE ISN'T A LOT OF
STATUTE BEING PROPOSED AT WITH
WITH THE DDR RESEARCH PROGRAMS
AND IN THE BOND IT'S PRETTY
HIGH LEVEL SO I THINK YOU KNOW
ONE OF OUR MESSAGES WOULD BE
WHERE DO YOU WANT TO PROVIDE
GUIDE AND DIRECT AND- I THINK
THERE'S- BEEN A- TO. BE TO BOTH
BECAUSE YOU CAN PROVIDE THE
ACTION ON THE FRONT END AND
THEN IT GIVES YOU THE
ACCOUNTABILITY ON THE BACK AND
TO SAY THIS IS WHAT WE TOLD.
POSSIBLY GRAHAM TO LOOK LIKE A
SHOWS THAT IT LOOKS THAT WAY.
SO FOR EXAMPLE IN THE BOND WE
THINK THEY'RE PRO DOES YOU
COULD TAKE ONE. IS TO PUT MORE
MEAT ON THE BONE TO SAID
SENATOR AND MORE DETAIL ABOUT
HOW YOU WOULD WANT TO.
PRIORITIZE PROJECT WHAT
CRITERIA YOU WOULD WANT THE
ADMINISTRATION USED TO SELECT.
OUT HOW YOU WOULD WHAT YOUR
OBJECTIVES ARE WANT THOSE
OBJECTIVES EVALUATED YOU GOT.
THAT IN LANGUAGE. I AM AND I
APPROACH WOULD BE TO TAKE THE
HIGHER LEVEL APPROACH. AN
INSTRUCTION AS PROPOSED BY TEN
COULD LAND WHICH WERE. WEARING
THAT. HERE COME. PROVE BEFORE.
OR SO THE STRONGER THAN IN FOR
THE BY CHANGED TO ASK FOR IN A
IT BE HAVING FORMALLY OVER THE
PRO STRUCTURING GUIDELINES
AFTER THEY'VE DEVELOPED IT I
THINK THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT IN.
WITH PATIENT AND THE POOR MY
COLLEAGUES ON THAT BECAUSE I DO
NOT THINK WE SHOULD. SEE THE
AUTHORITY THAT THAT VOTERS
GIVEN US TO OVERSEE THESE
THINGS. AND LET IT JUST GO ****
NILLY AND IN ADDITION. UP DO
YOU FEEL THAT ENOUGH IS IN
PLACE RIGHT NOW TO BE TRACKING
TO. SEE IF SOME OF THESE
EXPENDITURES. ARE EFFICACIOUS.
COST EFFECTIVE. ARE THEY
WORKING ARE WE JUST PILING ON
THINGS AND- THAT'S BEEN MY
CONCERN CAP AND TRADE FOR A
LONG TIME. YEAH I MEAN. AN
ISSUE AND FRANKLY SORT OF A
CONCERN THAT WE HAD FOR AWHILE
AS WELL AND I WILL SAY THAT
THERE IS A REQUIREMENT IN PLACE
FOR THE ADMINISTRATION TO RIP
ANNUALLY ON. OUTCOMES CAP AND
TRADE EXPO. AND SO THEY THEY GO
THROUGH THAT PROCESS EVERY YEAR
AND PRODUCING THOSE ESTIMATES.
I THINK BASED ON OUR REVIEW OF
AT LEAST SOME OF THOSE
ESTIMATES ANTHOLOGIES YOU JUST
WE HAVE. EARNS OF. TO WHICH
THEY'RE ACCURATE I THINK IN AN
ALL OF OUR CLIMATE MITIGATION
POLICIES INCLUDING REGULATIONS
AS WELL AS- YOU KNOW G. G. R.
F. EXPENDITURE SO YOU IS THAT
YOU KNOW THE STATE COULD- YOU
SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT. UP
ALL ALSO TO ASSESS THE EFFECT
THOSE POLICIES ARE THEY BEEN
AND IN ELECT A COUPLE OF
DIFFERENT FORMS I SAID YEAH DID
YOU ARE AT A SIMPLER SO MAY.
THE NOT A SOME DEPENDENT
REVIEWER. TO US. FAST AND ARE
THAT ARE BEING PUT FOR US YOU
PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE
THINK IT'S OF SETTING UP A
STRUCTURE AND ADD TO MAY SURE
THAT. YOU KNOW AND FOR THE-
NATION ABOUT THIS GOING FORWARD
BECAUSE- I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
WITH IMPORTANT FOR A COUPLE
REASONS WHY SO YOU HAVE GOOD
INFORMATION. GOING ABOUT WITH
GRAMS ARE MOST AFFECTED. BUT
AND CERTAIN KIND OF THE SHE MET.
BASED PROTECT PORTENT GIVE A-
CALIFORNIA'S ROLE IS A LEADER
OF. THE AND SO. I ABOUT. WHAT'S
IN WHAT ISN'T HAS EVEN MORE
BENEFITING KIND OF INFORMING
OTHER JURISDICTIONS IN OTHER
AREAS ON ON WHAT WORKS AND KIND
OF MOVING THE NEEDLE MOVING IT
FORWARD- AND THAT WAY. THANK
YOU. CROWFOOT YEAH I COULD TAKE
THE FIRST AND THEN MAYBE TURN
OF THE JERRY TO THE SECOND WE
CERTAINLY WANT TO ENSURE OF MY
LEVEL OF. ABILITY IN THIS
PRIMARY. WE DO NOT OUR FIRST. I-THINK THIS SECOND PATHWAY WHERE
I WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO
COLLECTIVELY AGREE UPON YOU
KNOW BROAD GUIDELINES FOR THE
SPENDING AND THEN WE GET THE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH GO AWAY AND N.
DEVISE ARE THOUGHTFUL
INTEGRATED APPROACH FOR THESE
PROGRAMS AND BRING THEM BACK TO
YOU ALL AS BIG BROAD PRO TO
HELP US STATE I THINK IT BASS
WHAT WE WANT TO AVOID GIVE IN
THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S RE.
PRINCIPLES MAKING PROP THE NEXT
THREE MONTHS THAT LOCKS US IN
TO CERTAIN INVESTMENTS THAT MAY
NOT BE OPTIMIZED OR INTEGRATED
THANK AFFECTED PROFIT THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR. GREAT ON TO CENTER
Y. QUE FOR BY SENATOR ROTH
RIGHT CASKEY. AND DIRECTOR
GORDON YOU INDICATED THAT THURS
THIS BACKLOG WITH AYE BANK OF
FIVE HUNDRED MILLION PROJECTS
THAT ARE CURRENTLY FUNDED COULD
WE- DO YOU SHARE THAT WITH
SUBCOMMITTEE TO ONE WHAT. THEY
ARE I GUESS MY CALL THIS IS WE
YOU KNOW HOW ARE YOU GET A- HOW
IS THE STRATEGIC GOALS COUNT
THE GOOD TO GET THAT LOW RISK.
AND UNDERSERVED PRIVATE CAPITAL
IS HOW THE HOW DO YOU CAN MAKE
THAT PROCESS WE NEED. NEW
PEOPLE STAFF OF FOLKS TO HELP
ASSISTWITH THAT THE GREAT
QUESTION SO TO BE FIRST ON THE
FIRST QUESTION JUST IN TERMS OF
TRANSPARENCY AROUND THAT
PROCESS THE- AYE BANK AND- AND
GO BIZ BUT PRIMARILY I BANK HAS
BEEN WORKING FOR THE LAST.
SEVERAL COUPLE WEEKS TO COME UP
WITH A SET OF PATENT MORE
SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF WHAT THE
PIPELINE LOOKS LIKE AGAIN.
REALLY IN LARGE PART I WOULD
SOUND LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES
BECAUSE BASED IN LARGE PART IN
EXISTING PROGRAMS THAT YOU'VE
PUT INTO PLACE WHERE THERE IS
NOT SUFFICIENT CAPITAL. OR
WHERE. TECHNOLOGY FROM. THAT
EARLY AGE ARE IN THE AREA WHERE
THEY REALLY NEED GRANT FUNDING
IN DIRECT GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
INTO MORE OF A COMMERCIALIZED
BASE BUT STILL NOT GETTING
CAPITAL SO WE WILL ABSOLUTELY.
WORK OUT TO FINALLY SAYS ENTER
THEM SHARE THEM WITH YOU. ON
THE STRUCTURE LET ME JUST
CLARIFY THE STRUCTURE THAT WE
PUT INTO THE DRAFT. PROPOSAL
LANGUAGE. WHAT WE HAD
RECOMMENDED IS THAT. BIRTH CAP-
I. LEVEL CATEGORIES WE'VE
RECOMMENDED THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE HAS RECOMMENDED THAT
THOSE CATEGORIES BE.
TRANSPORTATION TRANSFORMATION
CLIMBS RIGHT I CAN FORESTRY AND
CIRCULAR ECONOMY THAT'S VERY
BROAD- THOSE ARE THREE AREAS
WHERE WE KNOW WE NEED TO THERE
AT THAT INTERSECTION WE KNOW WE
NEED TO MAKE. MORE PROGRESS
THAN WE HAVE. IN OUR CLIMATE
CONTAINMENT. WE KNOW THERE IS
DEMONSTRATED NEED A COULD
BROADLY. OUT IN THE CAPITAL
MARKETS THIS REVIEW TO GROWTH
COUNCIL WOULD ALSO WORKING WITH
THE DEPARTMENT LABOR WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT COME WITH VERY HIGH
LEVEL CRITERIA. FOR INSTANCE TO
MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT
GIVING GOVERNMENT SUPPORTS TO.
EMPLOYERS THAT HAVE LABOR
VIOLATIONS JUST AS AN EXAMPLE
THAT WE'RE NOT GIVING SUPPORT
TO LOW ROAD EMPLOYERS OR TO
ESSENTIALLY BAD ACTORS OUT
THERE IN THE PRIVATE MARKET.
THE FINAL THING STRATEGIC
ACCOUNTS WOULD DO WOULD BE TO
RECOMMEND PERCENTAGE OF THE
OVERALL FUNDS TO EACH OF THOSE
CATEGORIES YOUR POINT. IS SIR
WE WERE THEY TRANSPORTATION OR
SINGLE PRIORITY PERHAPS THAT
WOULD BE 60% OF THE FUND AND
NOT THIRTY. FRIENDS THANKS TO
THE- ACTUALLY COME UP WITH THE
CATEGORIES OF REST AND SPECIFIC
I THOSE CATEGORY STRATEGIC
COUNCIL WOULD NOT DO THAT THEY
THIS REVIEW TO GREAT COUNCIL
DOES NOT HAVE FINANCE EXPERTISE
AND IS NOT WELL POSITIONED TO
UNDERSTAND THE RISK CRUNCHES
WITHIN THE CAPITAL MARKETS THAT
WOULD BE AYE BACK WITH THE PULL
OF THE OP BANG. SO IT HOW THAT
WOULD WORK LEVEL. AS CRITERIA
PERCENTAGES AND THEN DOWN TO
THE PROJECT DEFINITE THE
PROJECT DECISIONS DOWN AT THE-
I THINK LEVEL UNDER THE
CRITERIA SET BY THE BY STC SO
IT'S A TWO PHASE PROCESS.
FOLLOW UP ON THAT A SIX ROSS
THANK YOU FOR THE LOVELY
BIRTHDAY GREETINGS HOWEVER WHEN
I LOOK AT THE PROPOSED BUDGET
ON CAP AND TRADE. IT SEEMS THAT
THE- AGRICULTURE IS GETTING
QUITE PUNY I MEAN IT'S ALMOST
FIFTY. MILLION DOLLARS IN IN
CUTS YOU KNOW WHERE YOU KNOW
THE JERRY METHANE REDUCTIONS WE
I KNOW THAT PEOPLE COME THE SUB
TO ASKING FOR A TRIPLING OF THE
AMOUNT BECAUSE THEN THE NEED IS
THERE AND IS AND SAME THING
WITH THE HELP FILES IN WHICH TO
GO. IN A WORKING LANDS IN THE
SENATE TO OUR IN DOLLARS DID I
PUT TWENTY EIGHT MILLION NIGHT
FOR EIGHTEEN SO I'M I KNOW THE
FACE MINISTRATION TODAY BUT IT.
WAS BACK EARLY. IS WELL DE.
BONT IT SEEMS IS THE- YOU GET A
PUNY LITTLE. TWO HUNDRED
MILLION FOR. ENVIRONMENTAL
FARMING INCENTIVES WHICH IS
WITH EVER THAT IS AND WE
REALIZE THAT THAT INTERFACE
BETWEEN THE FOREST AND THE
HEALTHY. OILS REALLY HAS THE
POTENTIAL FOR- IT'S GOOD NOW
FOR A LARGE INVESTMENT. AM I
WRONG ON THESE NUMBERS THAT YOU
GUYS PROPOSED IT IT'S YOUR IT'S
YOUR BIRTHDAY IF YOU WANNA CALL
TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
PUNY I GUESS I'LL JUST LET
THAT. COMPARED TO FIVE CAN
BILLIARDS IMPAIRED LET
CALIFORNIA IS A VERY LARGE AND
VERY FOR STATE. WE FEEL THAT
THIS WHOLE PACKAGE THE BOND AND
THE REVOLVING LOAN FUND AND
THESE AND TAKE DOLLARS FOR
GRANTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE THOSE
GRANTS TO HAVE MADE A
SIGNIFICANT. STEP IN THE RIGHT
TO CAPTION. STRAIGHT WHY THESE
FIT INTO THE BUSINESS MODELS
THAT PEOPLE HAVE. AND WE ALSO
KNOW THAT CAP AND TRADE WE'VE
KNOWN THAT FOR QUITE SOME TIME
WILL PLATEAU OFTEN WE'RE TRYING
TO LOOK LONG TERM TO MAKE SURE
WITHOUT SUSTAINABLE FUNDING FOR
THE LONG HAUL. BUT I ALSO THINK
THIS IS COMING AT A GOOD TIME
FOR SCALING UP SO FOR EXAMPLE
LAST YEAR WE HAD THAT WAS THE
FIRST YEAR FUNDING HEALTHY
SOILS. AND WE HAVE FUNDING
BETWEEN PROP SIXTY EIGHT AND-
THE- GT R. F. FUN AND WE WILL
SEE THE UPTAKE ON THOSE
PROGRAMS LIKE ALL OF OUR OTHER
PROGRAMS IT. FOR FIVE SIX
ANSWER IT WILL AN. CLIMB AND
THAT'S- ON AND THE BOND. THE
STUFF HELP ABOUT WILL REVOKE
STE YEAH I'M JUST. YOUR STAND
HE SAID WHEN THE MOVE THE BOMB
IN THIS CATALYST TO SOME OF
ADDED SOME PROGRAM AND REALLY
FOCUS ON MEDICATION AND
GREENHOUSE GAS. YOU'VE GOT A
VERY POPULAR YOU KNOW. HELLO
MISSY INDIA'S SPIRITUAL ABOUT
FARM EQUIPMENT BUT YOU HAVE A
PROGRAM THAT'S UNDER FIND IT
WITH SOME OF THE MOST
POLLUTING- IT CALLS IN THAT IN
THAT PROGRAM AND THEN WE'VE
GOT. WE'RE CUTTING. TEN MILLION
BUCKS SO I'M JUST SAYING IT IS
GOING TO COME THROUGH THE
BUDGET PROCESS- ON THE BOND.
I'M CAN YOU CLARIFY FOR US THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE
WILDFIRE. HARDENED COMMUNITY
INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH IS FIVE
HUNDRED MILLION IN THE
COMMITTEE RESILIENCE CENTERED
WHICH IS TO ONE TWENTY FIVE IT
SEEMS UP THERE YOU KNOW ANY
FEARS PULP BUILDINGS.
DIFFERENCE BE BETWEEN THE
DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF THE DAY
IF THE IF THE BACK ROOM THE
SOME UP OUT OF SMALL OVERLAP
WITHIN. FILED ACTION UP AND AS
WE TALKED. CRITICAL. THE SHOP.
TALK MEMBERS TRUCK SURE THAT
CAN YOU WILL TO PAY ON TH
CATASTROPHE FOR A PUBLIC. FOR
EXAMPLE SO SERVICES THAT YOU
TELL DON'T OR CAN'T PROVIDE AS
WELL AS SIMPLY IDENTIFYING-
PLACES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY
THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS CAN GO
LIKE IN THE OPEN FIELD AND THE
SIGNAGE AT CETERA WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT- COMMUNITY RESILIENCE AND
THESE CENTERS. WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT PHYSICAL- BUILDINGS- THAT
WILL ACTUALLY SHELTER PEOPLE.
IN THE COURSE OF THESE
SUSTAINED EMERGENCIES THAT CAN
BE UTILIZED FOR OTHER PURPOSES
SO MORE SPECIFICALLY FOCUSED ON
EACH COMMUNITY HAVING THAT TYPE
OF- BUILDING OR FACILITY THAT
CAN- CAN BE A TOOK PLACE YOU
KNOW A PLACE OF- OF WRAPPED.
INTO THE EVENT OF THE EMERGENCY
BUT ALSO SURVIVE FUNCTION WHERE
AS THE WILDFIRE COMMUNITY
HARDENING IS FOR A BROADER SET
OF INVESTMENTS HOSPITALS-
ELECTRIC UTILITY TO THE EXTENT
THAT THE UTILITY DOESN'T COVER
ETCETERA. OKAY IS IT I KNOW.
FREMONT REPRESENTATIVE A COUPLE
FIRED UP. SAID ON ALL THE GRID
AND THEY'RE ABLE TO FUNCTION IF
IT SHUT DOWN AND ALL THAT AND
JUST ONE IS THAT TYPE OF. MY
FOR. AS WELL IT. YOU KNOW A
GREAT OF INTEGRATING AND WAS
THAT AS A OF A STE GRANT
PROGRAM THAT THAT FREMONT FIRE
STATION FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENERGY COMMISSION BEING ABLE TO
BE THAT- PLACE THAT STAYS UP
AND RUNNING WITH ENERGY WHEN WE
HAVE A POWER SHUT UP THAT'S A
GOOD EXAMPLE ONE OF THE
IMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT ANY THE
LESS SCALE HARDENING ALSO AS I
THINKS ONE OF YOU POINT OUT
SOMEONE POINTED OUT. YOU CAN DO
HOW NOT A SINGLE PART PAUL AND
ARE SOME DO IT HASN'T DONE THAT
THEN YOU HAVE THE EMBERS JUMPED
HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WE
NEED TO HAVE A MORE COHERENT
AND COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE AT RISK
AND THIS IS ONE WAY TO START TO
ADDRESS THAT BY LOOKING
COMMUNITY SKATE. I BLOCK BY
BLOCK HARD BEING AT COURT. SURE
HEARTENING. I AM TO. OUTSIDE OF
THAT SIR IN THE- AGENCY DO YOU
HAVE TO DO IT SO YOU DO ABOUT
THE GUY. YOU DID. ONE SIZE FITS.
SOLUTION ON COMMUNITY HARDENING
THIS. MAKE FUNDS AVAILABLE TO
COMMUNITIES THAT AND IF I THEIR
OWN PRIORITIES. ON ON THE
RESEARCH AND THAT TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE THANK YOU FOR
HEARING SOME OF THE CONCERNS
THAT THE SENATE HAS HAS VOICED
OVER THE LAST THREE FOUR YEARS
WE GOT TO SEE LEVEL RISING
MODEL THAT THAT WHILE IT LOOKS
AT THE CENTER LEYVA IS THE-
SOLUTION TO. FIVE IN THESE ARE
BECAUSE HE'S REGIONAL
COLLABORATIVE SAID AREN'T
STANDING ON THEIR FEET IN
TRYING TO GET THEM GOING THERE
ARE SOME THAT. FUNCTIONING
FUNCTIONING IN THE MODEL THAT
HAS BEEN LAID OUT BY THE ALLEY-
IS THAT YOU KNOW LET'S GIVE
THESE FOLKS A MILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR. FIVE YEARS SO THAT THEY
CAN DO THAT. DO THAT PLANNING
THIS. WILL GOVERNOR SINCE THE
MONEY BECAUSE THEY'RE ARE
INVOLVED WITH THIS THERE'S THIS
OF. IN IT TO SOME GRANTS TO
COMMIT TO THE CAN DO THAT AND
THEN THE FOLLOW THE HAVING THE
PEOPLE AND IT'S IT. DID THIS
PROJECT. THAT'S NOT. ALSO THAT
WE I LIKE TO RESEARCH AND
THERE'S SOME MONEY ON THE I.
CARP WHICH IS GOOD TO GET GIVES
HIM SOME ASSISTANCE BUT THE
EXTENT THAT THE MODEL THAT- THE
EXPERTS ARE TELLING US IS
MISSING THERE SO WHAT IS UP IN
THE RATE IN SOMEWHERE IT'S A
MISNOMER TO CALL IT THE
RESURGENT TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
FUNDING BECAUSE IT REALLY IS
SECOND SAYS. THE BILL AND
RESEARCH. THE THINGS YOU SEE.
FOR THE REGIONAL CLIMATE.
COLLABORATIVE'S WHICH REALLY
ARE INTENDED TO HELP
COMMUNITIES VERTICALLY DOES
EVENTUALLY THESE ACCESS THE
KIND OF FUNDING THAT. ACROSS
ALL OF THE AREAS OF THE CLIMATE
BUDGET. AND BE PARTICIPANTS IN
AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL BY
FIGURING OUT BOTH MITIGATION
ADAPTATION WE'VE ALSO ADDED IN
IN THIS RESEARCH I ATTRACTED
ASSISTANCE LINE INDEED EUROPE.
A OZELL RESILIENCE COURT
MANNERS OF WHICH WERE PROPOSING
TEN TO TWELVE AROUND THE STATE.
WE ARE. YEAH FOCUS. BASS
DEALING SAID IN A APPROACH BE
TO DO SORT OF ONE CENTER WHICH
IS OF A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
CENTER. LOOKING AT CLIMATE
RESILIENCE AS AN ISSUE WHICH I
KNOW YOU KNOW IT'S VERY VERY
REGIONALLY SPECIFIC DIFFERENT
PARTS OF THE STATE OF VERY
DIFFERENT IT IS SOME PARTS OF
THE STATE ARE ABSOLUTELY FACING
STATE ARISES THERE ARE
CHALLENGE. SUMMER AND SO WE PUT
IT PROPOSAL FOR A SET A
ESSENTIALLY MY I'M PRETTY DRUM.
YES EXPECT TO PASS. FOR SCALE
CLIMATE COLLABORATIVE CLIMATE
RESILIENCE CORNERS TO HELP
FIGURE OUT WHAT THOSE BIG
PRIORITIES ARE FROM THE FIRST
IF HELP ACT. ON MONEY. BOB ON
SOME SUPPORT FOR. LOOK AT THE
BIGGEST PART ARE IN THE CITY SO
WE REALLY SEE IS A BIG EXPAND
ACTUALLY OF THAT OF THE TO DO
THAT RIGHT SOME TO. NOT. AND
PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH MONEY ONE
SOME OF THIS JUST TO BE
COMPLETELY HONEST IS THE
FUNCTION OF THE LEGAL
RESTRICTIONS ON A GENERAL
OBLIGATION BOND THERE'S ONLY SO
MUCH YOU CAN DO IT IN GENERAL.
WE'LL GET ON THAT. ROLE THING
AND CAPACITY NâNG YOU CAN YOU
CAN. FUNDING THAT'S RELTED TO.
SPECIFIC BOND FUNDED PROJECTS.
WHEN IT COMES TO COULD ASSN
BILL OPPOSITE OVER A- ARCHING
IF IT'S- TERM. GOOD FOR TO
ITEMS DIRECT PROGRAM THREE.
SAID IN EXAMPLE OF HOW YOU
REALLY HAVE TO LOOK THESE
PROGRAMS TOGETHER THAT. OF THE
GIRAFFE. IS INTENDED IN LAW.
SUPPORT THE WORK IS HAPPEN
THROUGH THE BOX SUNSET WAY
LET'S. ABOUT CARBON MISSING
BECAUSE- YOU KNOW THE MEAT. OF
ENERGY. STATION THAT WE HAVE
ALL AGREE AGREE TO THAT BUT THE
CARBS TWENTY SEVENTEEN SCOPING
PLAN IDENTIFIES CAP AND TRADE
IS DELIVERING 47% OF THE NEEDED
AND CAN SEE THAT WE WANT IN
TWENTY. ARE SO KEVIN TREAT
GRAHAM MANTRA TO. DELIVER THIS
GOAL OF 7% EMISSION REDUCTIONS
BY TWENTY THIRTY. SAID TO
QUESTION CAN TWO OUNCES IN
THAT- ONE RELATES TO KIND OF-
THE RATCHETING DOWN BETWEEN
TWENTY TWENTY AND TWENTY THIRTY
OF THE CAPSULE. YOU KNOW WHO IT
WAS THERE'S A SIGNIFICANT
REDUCTION IN THE CAP BY THE A
BETWEEN NOW AND TWENTY THIRTY.
THE OTHER ELEMENT RELATE TO THE
KIND OF THE INCREASED COST.
GOES TO THE OF I'M E. G. A. THE
FLAW FOR THE PRICE OF CARBON IN
THE COMMON MARKET. GOES UP BY
5% PLUS THE COST OF LIVING. SO
YOU'VE GOT TWO THINGS HAPPENING
RATCHETING DOWN THE TOTAL
AMOUNTI'M IN THE SYSTEM AND
THEN AN INCREASE THE TOTAL
AMOUNT OF THE BEEN FLOOR. THAT
I'M BY REGULATION BY- THE
LEGISLATURE SAID THOSE THINGS-
THE ENTIRETY OF THE GOAL
PRIMARY GOAL WE'RE GONNA BUDGET
MEETING BUT- THE QUESTION THAT
YOU'RE USING A- I'VE BEEN
TRADED IN AN OUT TELL. US TO
THOSE AND BELIEVE THAT THEY
WILL AS YOU KNOW THE REST OF
THE ECONOMY WIDE- REDUCTIONS A
SIGNIFICANT SO WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT TRANSPORTATION AND-
CAMPUS ITSELF. DOES PLAY A
LARGER ROLE WHEN IT COMES TO
REDUCING MOBILE SOURCE
EMISSIONS WE HAVE OTHER
SIGNIFICANT ISSUES LIKE THE
EXISTENTIAL THREAT POSED. BY
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TRYING
TO THE WAY OUR ABILITY TO RIP.
BUT MISSION VIყT STAND. I'M
AND THAT FOR INSTANCE JUST
TAKING AWAY THEIR MY IRAQ CLEAN
THAT- HOUSE RULE WOULD. LIMIT
ABOUT FIFTY IN ORDER HAVE 50%
IMPACT ON OUT AS. GOAL WE YOU I
WILL WITH THE NPS TO THINK
ABOUT IF COMES TO WE GONNA HAVE
TO RE TH DIFFER JEFF ABOUT HOW
WE DO. THAT RIDGE LAND USE
TRANSFERRED PLANNING BUT WITHIN
THE CONTEXT OF CAP AND TRADE.
YOU KNOW AS I SAID THIS IS A
BUDGET COMMITTEE BUT IT IT WAS
DESIGNED TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE
GAS EMISSIONS IN THE MOST COST
EFFECTIVE AND AFFORDABLE MANA.
POSSIBLE AND THAT'S WHAT IT IS
DOING EFFECTIVELY. AT SEVENTEEN
DOLLARS OF METRIC TONS OF
POLLUTION- SOME PEOPLE IN THE
WORLD BANK OTHER INDEPENDENT
EXPERTS. BELIEVE THAT THAT IS.
IS WOEFULLY LOW THEY WOULD
RECOMMEND THAT WE IDENTIFY
CARBON PRIDE THING AS A NUMBER.
TO PUT THAT PRICE TAG ON
EMISSIONS THAT ARE BEING MADE
ON THE STATIONARY SOURCES WE
UNDERSTAND WE HAVE A TRANSFER
TAKE THE MOVABLE SOURCES SO YOU
KNOW WHAT ARE THE LA ELVES
IDEAS HUNK ON CARBON PRICING
BUDGET TOOL IS IT TOO BECAUSE
WITHOUT LIFTING YOUR LAST
QUESTION IS WHAT QUESTION TO I
WAS. RIGHT ONE. YEAH TWO AND
GOT EIGHT OTHER IN THE PANEL SO
I'M JUST I A STEP SO THE ELLIE
OKAY MISS TO THAT AND THEN WILL
BE MY ON I'VE I MEAN. A IT
IMPORTANT TO BE THINKING ABOUT
THE ROLE OF CAPTAIN TRADING
CARDMEMBER ICING AND MEETING
THE STATE'S OVERALL GOALS AND I
THINK OUR OFFICES BURST IT IS
THAT IT IS LIKELY THE MOST COST
EFFECTIVE WAY TO MEET GOAL BUT-
AS YOU POINTED. OUT WHAT. THAT
IS SET OUT CARDS OUT OF VERY
LARGE ROLE FOR THE PROGRAM TO
ACHIEVE THE STATE'S TWENTY
THIRTY GOALS- I THINK THAT KIND
OF KEEP IN THAT YOU'RE- GETTING
OUT IN PART THIS IS A DESIGNED
IN A WAY THAT'S KIND OF UP THE
CHALLENGE OF MEETING THOSE
COURAGE IN THE REDUCTION NEEDED
TO MEET THIS GOAL. I ON SOME
PAST AN HOUR IS THAT WE'VE DONE
WE. SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT I
YOU KNOW IF A NOW PROBABLY BEST
WAY TO PUT IT IS WE'RE NOT
CONVINCED THAT IT'S- OF
DESIGNED IN A WAY TO MEET THOSE
GOALS. JUST HAVING. A PROGRAM
IN PLACE DOESN'T NECESSARILY
MEAN IT'S TO. A WAY TO KIND OF
ACTUALLY MEET THOSE GOALS AND
SO- YOU KNOW THINKING ABOUT
KIND OF HOW THE- RELATION IS
STRUCK. ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS WE
THINK IT'S- VERY IMPORTANT
THAT. I HAVE QUESTION. IS HOW
YOU THE MONEY. AND THAT BUT WE-
SORT OF THE- FOCUS IN TERMS OF
KIND OF. THE STATE'S GOALS AND
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION BE ON.
GETTING THAT REGULATION
DESIGNED IN A WAY TO MEET THOSE
GOALS AND THEN THERE ARE. LOTS
OF UP SINCE ABOUT PRIORITIES
ARE KIND OF HOW. THE FUNDS.
THAT THAT'S THAT'S OUR GENERAL
TAKE. AND YOU COULD. SURE I
GUESS THIS GOES TO THE- YOU
KNOW I UNDERSTAND OF REDUCTION
IN THE CAP AND TRADE RESOURCES
BUT I KNOW TO REDUCTION IN
FUNDING FOR LOW CARBON
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS HEAVY
DUTY VEHICLES AGRICULTURAL
DIESEL ENGINE PLACEMENT
PROGRAMS WHILE OTHER PROGRAMS
GENERALLY RETAIN THEIR FUNDING
SUCH AS WORKFORCE TRAINING
PROGRAMS WOULD. THANK WITH WE
HAVE AN EXTRA PERSON. WELL
FIRST ONE AGENCY THROUGH YOU I
DO I JUST ONE GIVEN THE
IMPORTANCE OF- MAY HEAVY DUTY
VEHICLE- FULL ROAD EQUIPMENT
REPLACE PROGRAMS DIESEL ENGINE
PLACEMENT PROGRAM. WHAT THE YOU
KNOW THAT- THAT'S A GREAT
QUESTION AND THOSE PROGRAMS OUT
TREMENDOUSLY EFFECTIVE- IF YOU
LOOK AT. THIRDS AWAYS ANALOGY
VENN DIAGRAMS SO WE'VE GOT
PLANS TO REDUCE CRITERIA
POLLUTANTS- BOTH PM TWO POINT
FIVE PM TEN AND OWES UP AND SO
CALIFORNIA UNFORTUNATELY OF THE
WEST EQUALITY IN THE NATION
WHEN WE LOOK AT HEALTH ISSUES-
OF THE TOP YOU KNOW WITH THE
AMERICA. DOES IT DOES IT AND
YOU RECALL OF THE TEN WITH
CITIES IN THE- CALIFORNIA
EIGHT. THE THERE IS AN
ADDITIONAL BACK AT WHICH I'LL
DESCRIBE WHICH IS CRITERIA
POLLUTANTS COMING FROM DIESEL
PM- I HOPE AND I THINK THE
THINKING HERE IS THAT WE HAVE
GIVEN A TREMENDOUS MILLIONS
UPON ME OF DOLLARS CENTER FUNDS.
TO THE AND I AM. THAT OF THE
LIST WE REALLY. I THINK THE
ADMIN AS A WHOLE IS SAYING IF
ALL WE DO. IS USE GROUND FUNDS
TO DO INCENTIVES AND DON'T DO
VERY LOW INTEREST LOANS TO
FLEETS FRIENDS SINCE THE MONEY
COULD GET POWERFUL. HYDROGEN OR
ELECTRIC CHARGING STATIONS
EITHER ACTUALLY THE KIND OF
THINGS WITH LOOKING FOR THROUGH
THE AM I MET AT FOUNTAIN SO.
I'M AT WE SEE A PROBLEM AND
I'LL GOAL IS ABLE TO HAVE A
LEAD TO IMPACT ON THE TICKET
AND- YES IT INVOLVES SECOND YOU
TO PUT. THE IN THOSE. IN A- I
THINK FOR WE'RE GOING TO BE LOW
TO THE DISTRICT THEM SERVICE
SAN JOAQUIN AND SOUTH BECAUSE
THEY HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY AND
ENJOY ALL THAT REDUCTIONS
HAPPEN AND INCENTIVES HAPPENED
IN THOSE AREAS SO AS WE YOU
KNOW I THINK AS A BACK TO THE
BIG FOR MILLION. I'M AT BUT
EVERYTHING IS REALLY TAKING A
HACKER- WE TRIED TO PRIORITIZE
AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE AREAS
WHERE WE TRY TO MAKE SURE THE
CUTS IN THESE AREAS. WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THEM AS A PERCENTAGE OF
TOTAL DISCRETIONARY FUNDS
WITHIN THE GIRAFFE. THEM THAT I
THE STAYING LEVEL OLD GROWING
SLIGHTLY IS ONE FOLLOW UP A MAN
I'M SURE I. STAND AYE I JUST
HIM. I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED FOR
EXAMPLE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
WORKFORCE TRAINING. AND WE TALK
ABOUT CAP AND TRADE IN G. GRF.
WE'RE SORT OF STEPPING OUT OF
THE TRADITIONAL AREA. AND I'M
SURE THEIR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
AND METRICS THAT THE WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT AGENCY LABOR AND
WORKFORCEOF AN AGENCY HAS TO
MEASURE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
WORKFORCE TRAINING I JUST
WONDER IF ANY OF THOSE YOUR
BILL TEND TO WORK CAP AND- CAP
AND TRADE PLAN- TO THE TUNE OF
WHETHER IT'S THIRTY FIVE
MINUTES. THIRTY THREE MILLION
OR A HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION
DOLLARS WE OUGHT TO HAVE A- WE
OUGHT TO HAVE SOME METRICS THAT
WERE SET INTO THIS CATEGORY AS
DO ALL OF THEM. TO MEASURE
WHETHER THAT MONEY IS EFFECTIVE
BECAUSE OF ITS NOT EFFECTIVE WE
CAN TAKE THE THIRTY THREE OR
THIRTY FIVE MILLION AND PLUG IT
BACK INTO- HEAVY DUTY VEHICLE
PROGRAMS OR- CLEAN VEHICLE
REBATE PROGRAMS OR ANY OF THE
OTHER PROGRAMS. SOMEONE SUGGEST
YOU KNOW AT LEAST HISTORICALLY
SOME OF US THOUGHT DIRECTLY
RELATED TO GREENHOUSE GAS. UP
THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION AND
JUST TO CLARIFY THE WORK FOR
BLIND IT IS A I'M AN ON PROGRAM
CONTINUED FROM LAST YEAR SO YEP
THIS IS AN ON GOING. RIGHT SO
LAST YEAR I FIVE YOUR- AND
WHAT'S IMPORTANT BUT IT IN
DISTINGUISHES IT OF A FROM I.
THEIR PROGRAM THAT ARE IN OUR
EXISTING LABOR WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT. PLAN IS. EIGHTY
THREE NINETY EIGHT DIRECTED-
CARB TO LOOK AT THE JOB IMPACTS
OF OUR FUNDING ACROSS THE
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION FIND.
ONE OF THE OUTCOMES OF THAT
ANALYSIS. WAS THAT WE ARE WE
ARE SIMPLY LACKING IN- ENOUGH
TRAINED WORKERS IN PARTICULARLY
CONSTRUCTION WHICH IS THE JOB
THAT ABOUT 60% OF OUR FUNDING
ENDS UP CREATING. WHAT THAT
LINE DOES INDEED EUROPE IS
FUNDS TO REALLY IMPORTANT
THINGS OF THREE ONE IS THE
CONSTRUED THE HIGH ROAD
CONSTRUCTION CAREER LADDER
PROGRAM WHICH SPECIFICALLY.
ROADS IMPRESSION IMPRESSION
PROGRAMS FOR DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES VETERANS. AND IN IN
PARTICULAR INTO DESTRUCTION
CAREER SO THAT WOULD HAVE A
PLATE OF WORKERS TO ACTUALLY
EFFECTUATE THE PROGRAMS. FUNDED
INSTEAD OF FUNDING GIVING FOR.
EXISTING FUNDING I NOT HE'S
THAT'S IT BY LINE IS THE HIGH.
TRAINING PARTNERSHIPS AND
THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THOSE
TWO. FOR TO THESE DIFFERENT
EXISTING ENERGY SECTORS AND
RESOURCES IN EACH OF THOSE
AREAS ALLOWS FOR THE STATE TO
SUPPORT COMMUNITY MEMBERS
WORKERS INDUSTRY- AND THE
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AGENCIES
TO COME TOGETHER AND FIGURE OUT
WHAT THE FUTURE LOOKS LIKE AND
WHAT THEIR REGIONAL ADVANTAGES
ARE. IT IS NEUTRAL ON CARBON
NEUTRAL ON ME AND IN PARTICULAR
IN AREAS OF THE STATE THAT HAVE
BEEN TRADITIONALLY DEPENDENT
ON. FOSSIL FUELS AS THEIR MAIN
SOURCE OF JOBS THIS ALLOWS FOR
WHAT WERE WHAT WE CALL JUST
TRANSITION HISTORICALLY JUST
TRANSITION THING. REALLY START
BUILDING OUT OF NEW MORE
DIVERSE ECO APPROACHES FOR THE
REGION SO IT'S EIGHT TIED TO
THE OVERALL TRANSITION. TO THE
CARBON NEUTRAL CONNIE RIGHT AND
I DON'T I DON'T WANT MY
QUESTION TO BE MISINTERPRETED
THAT I'M CRITICAL OF THE EFFORT
I THINK IT'S A VERY VALID
EFFORT THANK. WE NEED TO BE
LOOKED EXACTLY MY QUESTION GOES
TO. MONITORING AND IS MAY.
BECAUSE YOU I CAME UP WITH
THREE WOULD GET YOUR GET TO.
OUT WORKFORCE TO AGENCY WHICH
DOESN'T REALLY HAVEN'T EVEN A
DOTTED LINE TO THE AIR A OR B.
WHO'S WHO'S ACTUALLY MONITORING
THE SHOP HERE AND I JUST ASK
YOU TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT WITH
FORGET THE HOOK FOR A QUESTION
AND YOU'LL SEE A- TEACHER.
ACTUALLY THAT A. B. IS THE
CENTRAL AGENCY FOR PARTS OF THE
GIRAFFE SPENDING BUT NOT ALL OF
IT- SO- FOOD IN AG IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR METRICS AND
EVALUATION ON PIECES OF IT
RESOURCES IS RESPONSIBLE ON
PIECES OF IT. IN THIS CASE
WORKFORCE THEY WORKED ON
IMPORTED RESPONSIBLE SO YOU
ACTUALLY HAVE IT SEPARATE.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND DOT LINE AND
I. EVALUATION PROGRAMS ACROSS
EACH OF THESE AREAS CARP IS
DEFINITELY A BIG CHUNK OF IT
BUT IT'S NOT THE ONLY ONE IN
THE CONTINUE AS A PREPARATION.
ACTUALLY CALLOUSED OTHER
TRANSPORTATION NEEDS HE HAS THE
BLIND SHARE OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
THERE ADAM APPRECIATE THE
PRESENTATION ACTION MY QUESTION
JUST ACTUALLY PERTAINS TO TRY
TO KEEP TRACK OF ALL OF THIS
AND I APPRECIATE- WHAT CENTER
ROTH SAID AS WELL SO MY
QUESTIONS SORT OF MAINLY LA-
BUT MAYBE A LITTLE BIT IN
EDUCATION. SO YOU KNOW. AT
THESE TABLES WE HAVE G. G. R.
F. OF WHAT WE'RE SPENDING
TEACHER ASKED WE HAVE THIS THE
RESILIENCY BOND WE HAVE OTHER
PROPOSITION OTHER FUNDS GENERAL
FUND EXPENDITURE. AYE SIR FEEL
AND SOMETIMES WHAT HAPPENS
THINGS GET BUMPED IN DIFFERENT
PLACES RIGHT BECAUSE WE MIGHT
NOT HAVE AS MUCH MEANT GGF
MONEY ONE YEAR DEPENDING ON THE
OCT AND GOES AND- SO SOMETIMES
YOU JUST. CUT IT BUT SOMETIMES
WE BUMPED OVER ART AS A
PROPOSITION RIGHT AND YOU'RE
SAYING THERE'S ONLY FUNDS THE
GENERAL OBLIGATION SO
SOMETHING'S GO MAKE SENSE TO GO
HERE AND THERE. GOT IT BUT
SOMEPLACE I AT LEAST I HAVE NOT
YET SEEN THE DOCUMENTS AS
OVERALL. THIS IS HOW MUCH
YOU'RE SPENDING ON EACH OF
THESE THINGS YOU KNOW MAYBE
GOING TO DIFFERENT POCKETS
RIGHT AND THEN OF COURSE NOT
JUST FOR ONE YEAR BUT OVER
SEVERAL YEARS AND WE'RE WE'RE
LEADING TO SO NOW THAT'S WHAT'S
OUR OVERALL STRATEGY. I GET I
HEAR THE YOU KNOW APPRECIATE
THE PRESENTATION HERE GIVES A
BETTER IDEA. BUT YEAH YOU'RE
GOT. EXACTLY HE IS HERE HE
WANTS TO KNOW TO. ACCESS
SOMEWHERE HERE ALL I KNOW TOO
SO I GUESS MY QUITE A OF THE IT
WAS IT IS TO AND WITH THE
METRICS AWAY RIGHT BECAUSE WHAT
HAPPENS IS THAT WHEN AS A
RESPECT EXT. THE. HERE AT. ZERO
DOLLARS RIGHT SICK IT'S A ON
OUR GENERAL FUND EVERY YEAR SO
THAT'S A FEDERAL FUND
EXPENDITURES FOR THIRTY YEARS
WE JUST SIGNED ON TO SO IS
THERE A WAY WE CAN HAVE THAT
TOGETHER SO WE HAVE A BETTER.
TRACKING AND THEN EXPLAIN TO
THE PUBLIC. WHAT WE'RE DOING-
CUMULATIVELY SO I MEAN I CAN DO
SO THAT THAT SO I. YES YEAH SO
A COUPLE THINGS AND I THINK ONE
IS A REFERENCE A LITTLE BIT
EARLIER BUT THERE ARE- THE
ADMINISTRATION DOES PUT
TOGETHER AN ANNUAL REPORT TRIES
TO THE TRACK SENDING DILLON TO
DIFFERENT CATEGORIES AND THEN
ALSO ESTIMATE THE PRODUCTIONS
ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICE BEEN IN
THOSE CATEGORIES NOW I KIND OF
GOT THE ADDED THAT YOU KNOW
THERE YOU KNOW THAT YEAH I
THINK THERE WE HAD SOME
QUESTIONS- ON SOME OF THE
METHODOLOGIES BUT SORT. OF THAT.
IF YOU SEE. THAT WE HAVE. ALL
THAT. GETS ADDS. YOUR QUESTION
I THINK I THINK THE CHALLENGE
IS SMALLER COUPLE THINGS ONE I
THINK FOR SOME OF THOSE
PROGRAMS IT SEEMS IT SEEMS TO
US OR SOME OF THE PRIMARY GOALS
OF THOSE PROGRAMS ARE- I'M OUR
OTHER THINGS LIKE LOCAL AIR
POLLUTION REDUCTIONS AND CASES.
THERE AREN'T GREAT ESTIMATE FOR
SOME. THE THINGS I THINK THAT'S
KIND OF AN FOR PIECE OF AND
THAT WOULD BE KIND OF HELPFUL.
FOR YOU SORT OF THINKING ABOUT
YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE APPROPRIATE
MIX OFKIND OF PROGRAMS TO FIND
DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU'RE KIND
OF PRIMARY GOAL ARE IN
DIFFERENT AREAS I THINK THAT'S
ONE. YOU TELL. AND CONNECTICUT
TO. ASIAN I KNOW THEY'VE DONE
SOME WORK RECENTLY TO TRY TO
TRY TO ESTIMATE SOME OF THOSE
THINGS I GUESS THE OTHER THING
IS ON THE ON THE EMISSION
REDUCTION SIDE- IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT TO KIND OF KEEP MINDS
YOU KNOW THAT THE FUNDING
PACKAGE THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT HERE WHAT WERE FUNDING.
INTERACTS WITH ALL OF THE OTHER
SWEET OF CLIMB THE POLICIES
THAT WE HAVE AND WE THINK KIND
OF KEEPING IN MIND JAIL WHERE
WHERE IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE
THINK OF FILLING IN THE GAPS
UT WHAT IS. ALL FUNDING ROUTE.
TO THOSE ELATION. THINGS LIKE.
RESEARCH ELEMENT OR PILOTS AND
DEMONSTRATIONS WE THINK THERE
MIGHT BE KIND OF A VERY
APPROPRIATE ROLE FOR A KIND OF
GOVERNMENT FUNDING THOSE TYPES
OF THINGS AND HAVING OUR OUR
REGULATORY PROGRAMS DO KIND OF
A LOT OF THE WORK ON THE KIND
OF THE PLANE THOSE INCOME TO
PROVIDING INCENTIVES O'CLOCK
TO. THEM SO I THINK IT'S A
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT
PIECES OF INFORMATION I THINK
WOULD BE KIND OF HELPFUL AND
KIND OF YOU KNOW GETTING A
SENSE OF. THE WATER WE GET IN
FOR THIS MONEY BUT I THINK IN
GENERAL. WE AGREE WE COULD WE
COULD YOU KNOW TRY TO DO A
BETTER JOB OF KIND OF TRYING TO
BE BE THOUGHT THAT INFORMATION
AND MAKE SURE IT'S HELPFUL.
THAT WOULD BE I DON'T KNOW
THERE'S IN THE SUMMARY THAT.
CORD VERSES ANY ACT A PRIEST
THAT WE FIGHT CENTER. DOESN'T
DIE IN THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT
BUT FOR THE REST OF US- WHO MAY
NOT SERVE ON THAT. ON THIS SOME
OF THE COMMITTEES THERE.
DIRECTLY IS THE- A- SUMMARY
YEARS. UP THE AFTER A I'LL JUST
THAT I YES AND WE CAN MAKE SURE
THAT SHARED WITH THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST AND THAT WE
WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE IT AS
CLEAR AS POSSIBLE I THINK WHAT
YOU ARE WITNESSING IS OUR
COMMITMENT TO DIVERSIFY THE
FUNDING SOURCES FOR- FOR OUR
OUR CLIENT WORK GIVEN THE SCALE
OF THE OF THE THREATS WE FACE-
BUT IT CAN BE CONFUSING. AND
OUR COMMITMENT IS TO IT AS- YOU
CAN BETWEEN. INNINGS OR- AND
JUST TO ADD TO THAT I THINK A
COMBINATION OF THINGS IT'S AB.
DIVERSIFYING THE SOURCE BUT
IT'S ALSO THE REAR BE THAT.
CLIMATE CHANGE GOES BEYOND AND-
I DISTRICT COUNTING OF
EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS THAT WE
HAVE TO THINK OTHER METRICS IN
SOME PIECES OF THIS. UP BECAUSE
THERE'S A WHOLE THING ABOUT
WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT REDUCE
FUTURE RISK FROM WOMEN IN.
THESE BUSINESS AREAS THAT'S
REALLY ABOUT ALL THE- COSTS
IT'S NOT. REALLY GOING TO BE A
G. REDUCTION METRIC IT'S REALLY
GONNA BE HOW MUCH MONEY ARE WE
SAVING BY. HOW ARE AFFECT ME
THESE I DO IT. WE WENT IT AS AN-
THAT. WE HAVE MULTIPLE PROGRAMS
WITH MULTIPLE GUIDELINES IN
MULTIPLE TRYING TO DO IS TO SAY
LOOK WHOA ARE HOW LEVEL HERE WE
WANT TO RID RISK PARTICULARLY
OUR MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES
WHILE GETTING A CARBON
NEUTRALITY BY TWENTY FORTY FIVE
HOW DO WE GET THERE AND HOW DO
WE EXPIRATION AND ALL OF US AS
THE STATE PRIDE MORE COAST IN
ORDER HERE PRICE ALTHOUGH
THINGS THAT AND JUST ALL UP
INTO LITTLE **** I APPRECIATE
THAT. A SEPARATE BRANCH BUT
EACH EAGLE TO THE GOOD IT'S
IMPORTANT WE BE ABLE TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BEING
PROPOSED AND I GUESS THE OTHER.
QUESTION MY QUESTION IS THAT-
WHEN I WAS A QUESTION MUCH OF.
BUT ALSO THINKING ABOUT
REGION'S BECAUSE YOU MADE
REFERENCE THAT DIFFERENT
REGIONS HAVE DIFFERENT RISKS
AND SO FORTH RIGHT SO I KNOW
THAT MY REGION HERE IN
SACRAMENTO. WE HAVE A PROPOSAL
TO THINK ABOUT IS WE HAVE THESE
DIFFERENT POTS BUT HOW DO WE
COORDINATE THEM. FOR REJECT
THAT ACTUALLY MAXIMIZE THE
IMPACT THAT LEVERAGES AND MAYBE
THAT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT MIX FOR
DIFFERENT. BUT GIVEN FOR
EXAMPLE ARE. ARE YOU KNOW THE
WAY WE HAVE OUR END USER.
TATIAN AND OUR MEANS GOOD YES
YES SO I HOPE THAT THERE THE
ABILITY TO DO THAT BECAUSE WE
SERVE HAVE SET THESE POTS BUT
THE STATE. THERE'S WAYS WE CAN
COMBINE THESE BOTTOM WAY THAT
SOME. THE IMPACT. PARTICULAR
REGION I WOULD SAY THAT WE BEEN
HEAVILY INFLUENCED AND INSPIRED
BY. THE WHITE HOUSE IN. FRESNO
WHICH IS DOING SOME SIMILAR IN
OUR APPROACH WE REALLY ARE TO
TAKE REACH APPROACH AND IN A
APPROACH AND WE'VE ACTUALLY
LEARNED I WOULD SAY FROM THE
REGIONS THAT HAVE DONE THAT
BEFORE WE'VE DONE OUT AND WE'RE
REALLY TRYING TO. MODEL THAT.
ALL RIGHT THANK YOU AND YOUR.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. THANK
YOU DOCTOR PAN AND DIRECTOR
GORDON AND ROTH FOR TINA I
THINK GETTING TOWARDS APPOINTED.
SYNTHESIZE ONE OF THE CENTRAL
CHALLENGES HERE WE BROUGHT IT
UP IF YOU HEARINGS IN THE PAST
AND I KNOW I SENT A LETTER IN
TO DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE-
SERVICE ONE THOUGHT IN HIS
OFFICE BUT- BEFORE WE EVEN
START ON SIR HOW MUCH WE'RE
SPENDING TO TACKLE THE RISK HOW
YOU ACTUALLY DEFINE. THE TOTAL
COSTS THAT WERE FACE IS A
STATE- THAT'S ONE TO GET A SORT
OF GOT CHECK FROM LA ON THE
ADMINISTRATION. BY MY MATH MY
BASIC MATH HERE I THINK. IF YOU
ADD UP I'M JUST TAKING A COUPLE
CATEGORIES PUBLIC HEALTH
IMPACTS ASTHMA COSTS ALONE.
ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
WITH. SCHOOL DAYS LOST IN
DIRECT HEALTHCARE IMPACTS SO
THAT'S A HUNDRED TEN BILLION
DOLLARS OVER TEN YEARS. SEA
LEVEL RISE ABOUT TWO HUNDRED
TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS BY
TWENTY FORTY. PROVIDES AREA THE
USGS ANALYZED WHICH IS A SEVEN
HUNDRED FIFTY BILLION DOLLAR
ARC STORM THAT COULD LITERALLY-
FLOOD THE ENTIRE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND DECIMATE. US
MOVE TO TWO MILLION PEOPLE OUT
OF THEIR HOMES- AND THEN WILD
FIRE SO JUST TAKE THAT'S A FIVE
BILLION LAST YEAR. PUT THAT
OVER TEN YEARS TALKING FIFTY
BILLION SO IT IS IT FAIR TO SAY
THAT. WE COULD BE FACING IN
EXCESS OF A MILLION DOLLAR
LIABILITY IS A STATE OVER THE
NEXT TWO DECADES FROM CLIMATE
CHANGE. WHAT IT WHAT DO YOU
THINK I MEAN I'LL GO SB IF YOU
WANTED TO JUMP IN ON THIS BUT I
AS AS YOU KNOW SENATOR STERN-
AND I THINK YOU JUST
DEMONSTRATED THIS IT'S WE HAVE
A REALLY DECENT ESTIMATES AND
THEY'RE ALWAYS CHANGING BECAUSE
THE RISK IS CHANGE. AS THE
NATURE REST. OF SPECIFIC
SECTORS SO WE CAN ONE OF THE
REASONS THAT THE RESEARCH
PROPOSAL- IT READS WAY DOES IS
SO THAT THE FIFTH CLIMATE
ASSESSMENT WE CAN REALLY-
INCREASE THE- FUNDING TO DO THE
FIFTH CONGRESS HAS BEEN SO WE
CAN DO MUCH BETTER SEX. AND NOW
WHAT THEY'RE THE COST WILL. IS
ANGELA IMPOSSIBLE AND I WOULD
BELIEVE ANYWAY WHO SAID THEY
HAD IN THE- WIDE NO. OF HOW
MUCH IT COST. IF WE DON'T ACT
ON THESE RISKS HOWEVER. REALLY
IT ABSOLUTE COULD WE COULDN'T
WE ABSOLUTELY CAN LOOK AT FOR
INSTANCE COMMODITY AGRICULTURE
NEAL LOSSES FROM EXTREME HEAT
WE CAN LOOK AT SEA LEVEL RISING
COSTA REAL ESTATE LOSSES. WE
CAN LOOK AT FLOOD RISK TO ITS
EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE WE CAN
LOOK AT WILD VIRUS TO EXISTING
COMMUNITIES AND TO OUR STATE'S.
LIABILITY BOB BECAUSE WE AT THE
BACK OF FAIR PLAN ANOTHER
INSURANCE BACK UP SO. WE CAN
ABSOLUTELY DO I'M- MORE AND
CONTINUED AND BAT. SECTORAL
ANALYSIS THESE COST. THAT'S
WHAT THE REASONS THE RESEARCH
PIECE IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE
AS A STATE AS FISCALLY
RESPONSIBLE. PEOPLE TO THE
STAIRS. INTERNET DOES IT IS AND
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO TALK
ABOUT THEM IN PARTICULAR REDUCE
THE PARTICULAR SECTORS. TO
LOUIS MORE THAN TRILLION IS NOT
CRAZY WE HAVE MULTIPLE.
TRILLION DOLLAR DISASTERS
HAPPENING EVERY SINGLE YEAR IN
THE UNITED STATES NOW MANY OF
THEM HERE IN CALIFORNIA SO
THERE'S- QUESTION. YES ONE LA
OR YOU'RE JUST SORT OF YOU'RE
TRYING GIVE SOME TOOLS TO. THE
FOR. AND MAYBE SEVEN SIX. CROSS
COME WHEN BUT- GIVE A SENSE OF
HOW MUCH OF THAT RISK. EVEN IF
IT'S NOT A PERFECT NUMBER. THE
TRILLION TO TRILLION FVE. NINE
HUNDRED BILLION. I DON'T KNOW
OVER THE LIFE OF THE BOND. HOW
MUCH. RISK DO YOU THINK THAT
MIGHT ACTUALLY BY DOWN THAT THE
PROPOSAL BEFORE. I KNOW I'M
CURIOUS SO THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION AT THE HAS AN
ANSWER TO THAT I DON'T THINK WE
DO- AND I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF
KIND OF ANYBODY DOES I MEAN
PART OF WHAT WE FOUND IN OUR
RESEARCH ON THE SEA LEVEL RISE
REPORT. IS A LOT OF THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ARE DOING THE WORK
TO DO THE VULNERABILITY
ASSESSMENTS AND KIND OF SEE
WHERE THE WATER WILL COME AND
THEY HAVE TOOLS FOR THAT BUT
BUT NEXT PIECE OF WHAT ARE THE
ECONOMIC IMPACTS THAT THEY
AREN'T DOING AT. ARMS AS THEY
DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW AND THEY
SAID WELL WE DID ONE ABILITY
BUT WE DID THE BUDGET TO ADD
THE ECON IN ALICE'S BEES TO IT
SO- AND THAT'S JUST LOOKING NOT
JUST THE RISK OF WHAT IF WE DO
NOTHING. BUT ALSO WHAT COMIC
EIGHT OF THE DIFFERENT THAT WE
HAVE AVAILABLE TO US SO HOW DO
WE KNOW. WHETHER IT MAKES. TO
RELOOK EIGHT. FIRST ARM. SO
VERSE IS. PUT SOME NATURAL.
INFRASTRUCTURE TO SEE IF THAT
YOU KNOW. THE I CAN TRADE OFFS
OF THAT AND THAT'S- KIND A NEXT
LEVEL IN OUR- THAT ISN'T. TO ME
YET THE GROUND WHERE. WHERE WE
WOULD BE ABLE TO BUILD IT UP
HERE AND GET AN ESTIMATE HERE-
SO THAT YOU KNOW ONE OF THE
RECOMMENDATIONS WE HAD IN THAT
REPORT IS TRYING TO DEVELOP
SOME TEMPLATE. THOSE TYPE OF
GOVERNMENT COULD THEN USE. AND
HAVE A STANDARDIZED METHODOLOGY
THAT THEN WE COULD AGGREGATE UP
HERE SO. I THINK WE I THINK WE
KNOW THE PROBLEM IS A REALLY
BIG AND WE KNOW THAT-
ADDRESSING IT IS GOING TO ALSO
BE A BIG TASK BUT IN TERMS OF
THE SPECIFICITY OF NOT BECAUSE
I DON'T THINK WE'RE THERE YET
FAIR TO SAY. THIS FOUR POINT
SEVEN BILLION WILL NOT. WE BY.
NOW THE CA. RISK OF CA. CHANGE
IS IT THANKS TO THE YES I THINK
I. YES. MATT SEVEN SECRETARY. I
MEAN I JUST ONE HAVE AN ARRAY
ON A COP WITHOUT A CAL TO SAY
DON'T EXPECT FOUR POINT SEVEN.
DOLLARS TO SOLVE THE- IN AG.
COMING THE THREATS OF OR THE
ASTHMA CRISIS WERE HAVING I
MEAN HOW DO WE LEVEL WITH
PEOPLE AND SAY. THIS IS ABOUT
HOW FAR WE THINK YOU CAN GET
YOU BUT- THIS IS REALLY THIS. I
MEAN THE WAY I WOULD TALK ABOUT
THIS IS THIS IS A CRITICAL DOWN
PAYMENT. I'M PROTECT OUR OUR
COMMUNITIES AND NATURAL PLACES
FROM THE IMPACTS OF CLIMATE
CHANGE. IS IT ENOUGH GIVEN THE
SCALE OF CHANGES WE ANTICIPATE
FOR THE COMING DECADES. I MEAN
IS IT THE SUM TOTAL WE SHOULD
SPEND IN SOMEONE COMING DECADES
NOW- I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT.
SO I THINK YOU'RE IT'S HELPFUL
FOR YOU TO CONSTRUCTIVELY
CHALLENGE US TO QUANTIFY. BOTH
THE RISKS EXTENT POSSIBLE AND
THE EXTENT THAT OUR INVESTMENTS
REDUCE THOSE RISKS. IT'S
TERRIBLY COMPLICATED AS YOU NOW
GIVE IN SCIENTIFIC UNCERTAINTY
AND JUST THAT AMICK NATURE
THREAT. I SAW THE BEGINNING OF
THE SEASON GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE
RAIN RIVER THANK. HAVING SINGLY
NOW BE OVERLOOKED WELL BRING IN
TO TRY SO THAT. ARE MAKES A
VERY DIFFICULT THE DOWN AND-
BUT THAT BEING SAID I SHOULD I
THINK WE SHOULD TAKE YOUR
BALANCE TO REALLY TALK ABOUT
WHAT IT IS. I MEAN. OF
POTENTIAL. PARK DO NOT AND HOW
CAN IT DOES BASSPOINT I'LL MAKE
WHICH IS THIS CAMP THESE CAN BE
CONCEPTUAL AND ARE FOR VOTERS
TO FACT IS IF WE FUND A LOCAL
CAN TO PROTECT HEIR- TO A IN
THE IN THE CASE OF THESE
CALAMITIES THAT MATTERS AND
THAT'S GOING TO BE REALLY
IMPORTANT SO I THINK WE SHOULD
BE REALLY ABOUT THE BROUGHT.
PRESS AND THEN ALSO PER. OUT
THE DIFFERENCES CAN MAKE IN
PEOPLE'S LIVES I REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT- JUST CLOSE BY
BY SAYING. YOU KNOW. WHEN I
WOULD HATE TO HAVE IS THAT WE
UNDER DO IT WHEN IT COMES TO
BOTH G. G. R. F. R. OVERALL OUR
OVERALL CLIMATE BUDGET WHAT IF
YOU WANT TO CALL THE CLIMATE
BUDGET AND THAT PEOPLE HAVE AN
EXPECTATION THAT. MAY HAVE MAY
HAVE A PATHWAY BACK TO
INSURANCE OR THEIR KIDS MAY BE
ABLE TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL
WITHOUT I MEAN INHALER EVERYDAY
OR- I DON'T WANT TO OVER
PROMISE AND UNDER DELIVER SO I
REALLY HOPE WE CAN SCOPE IN AND
EVEN IF. WE CAN'T HIT A TWENTY
BILLION DOLLAR CLIMATE FUND
BECAUSE IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE
SENSE OR EVEN IF THE CARBON
PRICES IN GONNA HIT FORTY
DOLLARS A TON IN FUTURE IF I'M
GONNA LOOK. LET'S AT LEAST KNOW
WHERE WERE WHERE WE'RE STRIVING
TOWARDS BECAUSE THE LAST THE
LAST POINT IS. AS CENTER LABOR.
IS LED ON THIS END. PEOPLE ARE.
GOING TO BE THE CENTERPIECE OF
THIS WHOLE QUESTION. IS NOT
JUST ABOUT TONS OR PROJECTS.
WHICH ARE THESE. THESE REALLY
COLD METRICS RIGHT LIKE HUMAN
BEINGS AND EMPOWERING THEM IS
ACTUALLY WHAT'S GOING TO SOLVE
THIS SO. I DID WANT TO RAISE WE
HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT. WHAT YOU
CAN. DRYLY CALL OPERATIONS AND
MAINTENANCE. BUT THE PEOPLE
POWER SIDE IS SO IMPORTANT TO
MAKE THESE INVESTMENTS WORK AND
I JUST. AS YOU GO THROUGH YOUR
TESTIMONY HERE I REALLY. I
WANTED TO GET A SENSE THAT
BECAUSE- IF WE MAKE JUST A
BUNCH OF CAPITAL INVESTMENTS.
AND THEN NO ONE'S THERE
MANAGING THE FORCED. ON THE
BACK AND- OR NO ONE'S THERE
MAKING SURE THAT THE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE THE DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES ACTUALLY THERE TO
GET THE PROJECT GOING. WE'RE
JUST GOING TO SORT OF B
BURNING MONEY N CAPITAL HOW
HOW BIG IS THE IN M. GAP. FOR
THE STATE RIGHT LIKE. WHAT'S
THAT MATH LOOK LIKE HOW SHORT
OUR WEEK. SYSTEM WIDE ON
KNOWING HIM IN CLIMATE. HOW DO
WE FEEL THAT. SO TWO VERY QUICK
THINGS ON THIS ONE I THINK
THERE- REALLY AGREE WITH YOUR
LAST POINT AND ONE OF THE
THINGS WE HEAR CONSISTENTLY AND
I KNOW YOU DO TOO FROM
CONSTITUENTS AND ALSO FROM.
FOLKS OUT THERE IN THE REGIONS
IS A LACK OF CAPACITY AND
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IS THE
REASON THAT WE REALLY TRY TO BE
DISCIPLINED. IN FOCUSING GINGER
I FUNDING AND TRYING TO
INCREASE IT FOR CAPITAL FOR
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND
CAPACITY. THE OTHER THING AND I
SAID AT THE BEGINNING BUT I
WANT TO UNDERSCORE IT. THIS IS
NOT THE ONLY SPENDING THAT WE
SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT DOING
ON CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE STATE
EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR WE SPEND.
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SHOULD BE SPENT WITH AN
UNDERSTANDING OF THESE
CHALLENGES WHAT WE ARE FINDING
A ROAD. IN A PART OF THIS THAT
HAVE EXTREME HEAT. IS WE SHOULD
THINKING BERMAN. SAYING WHETHER
THEY'RE GOING TO HOLD UP IN
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE
WHETHER. WHEN FIND IT A AYE.
COOL I AM YOU SCHOOL I
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT THINKING
ABOUT. WHETHER THAT'S CAN BE
RESILIENT AND HARDENED IN A
FIRE I MEAN THESE ARE THESE ARE
ESSENTIALLY. WE NEED TO THINK
ABOUT AS A WHOLE TODAY WE AND-
HOW WE INVEST HOW CAN OUR OWN.
HOW WE GIVE OTHERS AND VOTE ON
THE GROUND BILL TO DO THAT.
ACROSS THIS CAN'T BEGIN. THE IN
THE CENTRAL VALLEY FACT
COMMUNITY WORKING- THEY DID TO
A HUNDRED COMMUNITY MEETINGS IN
THE LAST YEAR TO LOOK AT THAT
COMMUNITY REDUCTION PLAN AND
THIS IS FARMWORKERS THIS IS.
PEOPLE THAT- COME OUT OF THAT
JOBS WORK IN RESTAURANTS IS NOT
PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENTALISTS
THESE PEOPLE WHO NOW HAVE.
SIGNIFICANT EXPERTISE IN
UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE IMPACTS
OF ELECTRIFYING THIS SCHOOL
BUSES THEY HAVE UNDERSTANDING
OF WHAT WHAT IT MEANS TO
ORGANIZE COLLECTIVELY SO. SIX
SEVENTEEN- I THINK WAS. SAW
DENIED TO BEGIN WITH AS AN
EXPERIMENT IT REALLY IS
MATURING INTO A PROGRAM THAT'S
BUILDING INCREDIBLE LOCAL
CAPACITY RESILIENCY AND- I
THINK. THE TO WAIT TO FIND MORE
WE CAN INTEGRATE THE SKILLS AND
RESOURCES AND UNDERSTAND HOW
COMMUNITY MEMBERS- UNDERSTAND
THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THAT
KIDS BEING AT HOME BECAUSE OF
ASTHMA AND AIR QUALITY AND
CLIMATE POLLUTION- THAT'S
REALLY THE RECORD THAT WE NEED
TO. GO DOWN. THANK JUST LIKE TO
ONE. MEMBERS KNOW THAT I'VE GOT
SEVEN MEMBERS IN THE QUEUE AND
REMIND YOU THAT WE HAVE A
SECOND PANEL- THAT I'M HOPING
THAT ALL OF YOU- WILL BE
STAYING TO. FULLY PARTICIPATE
IN. SENATOR MCGUIRE WHO WILL BE
FOLLOWED BY SENATOR SKINNER
SENATOR MCGUIRE BECAUSE MUCH
MANAGER SHE COME TOGETHER
TODAY. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
I'LL BE QUICK. ONE IS OBVIOUSLY
THE BOND IS STILL IN
NEGOTIATION WITH. CENTER ALLEN
CENTER STERN REALLY TAKEN THE
LEAD ON THE SENATE SIDE WITH.
THE PRO TEM'S OFFICE AND I
THINK THAT WHERE WOULD LIKE TO
BE ABLE TO. THE FOCUS IS. ON
WHAT'S REALLY GOING TO MOVE THE
BALL. ON ISSUES THAT THAT
SECTOR CROWFOOT ADVANCE BUT-
JUST A FEW COMMENTS IF IT'S
OKAY MADAM CHAIR NUMBER ONE- IN
A 60% OUR- WATER. IN THIS STATE
CONSISTS NOT BACK I AND WE NEED
TO BETTER PREPARE. BUT GROUND
STORAGE- IS WELL AS DIRECT
INJECTION. FOR SHEET FLOW OR
PEOPLE RUN OFF. I AND THAT'S
GONNA BE CRITICAL AS WE MOVE
FORWARD- AND- NOT SAYING ITS
ADMINISTRATION THAT. HAS A
FOCUS IN ON ANY WE ALL DO I AND
THAT'S A GREAT CONCERN. TO
AGRICULTURE. AND I WILL SPEAK
WITH A BIAS- IN HAVE IN DERRY
IN OUR DISTRICT IN THE NORTH
COAST. HIS MINISTRATION HAD-
METHANE REDUCTION AT NINETY
MILLION. WE WANTED THE SENATE
WANTED TO KEEP IT AT NINETY
MILLION LAST YEAR. IT TOOK A
SERIOUS HAIR CUT. WE TAKE A
LOOK AT ONE OF THE BIGGEST-
PRODUCERS OF METHANE ON THE
AGRICULTURAL SIDE. IT'S DERRY'S
AND THE AND THE VAST MAJORITY
OF THOSE FOLKS WHO OWN A GEHRY
HAVE THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OR
LESS. AND TO BE ABLE TO MAKE
THE ADJUSTMENT WHICH THEY
DESPERATELY WANT TO DO- THEY
NEED ASSISTANCE. BECAUSE THAT
WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE TO DRIVE
OUT GEHRY FARMERS IN CALIFORNIA
IF WE DON'T THIS THEM. AND WHAT
IS CURRENTLY IN THIS CAP AND
TRADE EXPANSION PLAN IS
UNACCEPTABLE. IT IS
OVERSUBSCRIBED AND- BEFORE
SERIOUS ABOUT TALKING ABOUT AG
AND WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEIR-
AND WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT
WHAT WE'RE DOING BUT THAT'S
JUST BE HONEST IT'S TAKEN HUGE
HAIR CUT OVER THE LAST EIGHTEEN
MONTHS. THROUGH AND IT IS
PICKED PROPOSED SOME ADDITIONAL
REDUCTION THIS YEAR SO THE
THIRTY FOUR MILLION IT'S
CURRENTLY IN HERE- IS NOT GOING
AT THE TWENTY MILLION IS BEING
PROPOSED IS NOT GONNA CUT IT
EIGHTEEN MILLION. FOR HEALTHY
SOILS NOT GONNA SO I'LL MOVE
ON. ON HARDENING. WE NEED TO
HAVE METRICS ON HARDING I THINK
ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES
WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IN MODELING
AFTER WHAT FLORIDA DID AFTER
SEVERAL HURRICANES INSURERS
PULLED OUT OF THE FLORIDA
MARKET. THEY HAD ESTABLISH A
WIN COMMISSION THEY DEVELOPED
DATA DRIVEN METRICS ON OUT WHAT
IS CONSIDERED. HOME HARDENING.
AND THEN ASKING INSURERS TO BE
A COME BACK INTO THAT MARKET
AFTER CANDIDLY A FAILED
GOVERNMENTAL APPROACH. AND
THAT'S WHEN THE JOHNS WE STILL
HAVE IN THE STATE IS WE DON'T
HAVE THOSE DATA DRIVEN APPROACH
IS WE HAVE BEST PRACTICES WE
HAVE BUILDING CODE BUT WE NEED
TO BE ABLE TO TELL FOLKS WHAT
TO DO TO BE ABLE TO GET
REINSURANCE. IN THE FAIR PLAN.
IS GOOD BUT IT STINKS IF YOU'RE
ON IT AND- IT'S GETTING WORSE
AND I THINK THAT'S THE OTHER
PIECE THAT WE NEED TO DO GROUND
THIS BOND DISCUSSION IS
DEVELOPING THOSE METRICS AND
HOW TO BE A TO GET FOLKS
HARDENED AS WELL SEVEN THE
COMMUNITY HARDEN STRATEGIES-
AND THEN HAVING THAT HARDLY
DISCUSSION WITH INSURANCE.
THEIR TAILS BACK INTO THAT
MARKET. I IN THE LAST PIECE
WILL DISTASTE AGAIN ON
TRANSPORTATION. MY UNDERSTAND
6% OF A GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS AND IF WE'RE SERIOUS
ABOUT ENDING THE COMBUSTIBLE
ENGINE WE GOT TO CONTINUE TO.
INCENTIVIZE ELECTRIC
TRANSPORTATION- AS WELL AS
INDIAN OUR LINES IN THE
COMBUSTIBLE ENGINE. I AND HOW
WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO
THAT IN SPECIALLY IN THE ONE
COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES OF
COLOR- IN HOW THAT STRATEGY
CONTINUES RAW AND THAT'S GOING
TO MEAN. AT SOME SIGNIFICAN
VESTED A STOP RIGHT THERE IN IN
A MEASURE OF IT'S OKAY TO HAVE
THEM COME IN. THANK YOU. I MEAN
I THINK ALL ALL HELPFUL POINTS
I WOULD. ADDRESS THE YOUR FIRST
POINT ON I'M AS WE AS THE SNOW
PACKED REDUCES AND AS OUR
HYDROLOGY BECOMES MORE VARIABLE
WE DO NEED MORE STORAGE- WE
NEED MORE STORAGE UNDERGROUND
WHICH IS WHICH IS IT EXCELLENT-
HAS THAT YOU KNOW WE HAVE SO
MUCH CAPACITY FOR UNDERGROUND
STORAGE AT THE MOMENT WHEN WE
NEED TO REPLENISH OUR
GROUNDWATER BASINS TO READ. THE
IMPACT OF SIGMA WE NEED SERVICE
OUR SERVICE WATER STORAGE WE
SAID THAT WITHIN THEIR THE
WATER RESILIENCE PLAN- AS IT
RELATES HOME HARDENING THINK
YOUR POINTS ARE ARE REALLY WELL
TAKE AND WE HAVE A REAL CRISIS
IN MANY COMMUNITIES WHERE
INSURANCE IS AN AVAILABLE- AND
SO I'M GONNA DEFINITELY TAKE
HIS HOMEWORK- REALLY DRIVING
THIS. GEN AROUND TRICKS ALL
HARDENING BOTH HOME COMMUTE
HARDENING AS A WAY TO- YOU KNOW
BRING BACK- INSURANCE PRODUCTS
OF THESE COMMUNITIES. BUT I DID
WANT TO JUST DO A BRIEF CMMENT
ON AGRICULTURE- THE FACT IS WE
PUT I WAS LOOKING BACK AT
MYSELF BECAUSE I LEFT MY OTHER
PIECE OF PAPER BACKYARD BUT THE
ACTUAL INVESTMENT THAT HAS BEEN
MADE IT'S SPECIFICALLY IN MATH
AND REDUCTION. THAT HAS GOTTEN
US TO IN OVER 50% OF OUR GOAL
ON THAT. AND THE FACT IS THAT
HAS GONE BUT WE COULD GET THE
BIGGEST REDUCTIONS WHICH HAS
BEENTO THE CENTRAL VALLEY
WHICH HAPPENS HAVE LARGER.
HERDS BUT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW
TODAY TWO HUNDRED PROJECTS THAT
ARE BEING BUILT TODAY AND THOSE
WILL BE COMING ONLINE. AND WHAT
WE'VE DONE FOR THE SMALLER
SCALE TERRY'S ESPECIALLY IN
YOUR REGION WHERE WE ARE ALSO
ABLE TO GATT. REDUCTIONS AT THE
SAME KIND OF SCALE BUT EVERYONE
WANTS TO PLAY THEIR PART IN THE
US AND SO WE MADE THOSE
INVESTMENTS IN THE COP BUT
THOSE MUCH. MORE LET. EMPLOY SO
WE ARE WE ARE MAY THAT HAPPEN
WE'RE ALSO SITTING. THE BAND
WERE CUT ON THE LAST WEEK'S.
EXPO NOW THAT THEY'VE BEEN THAT
MUCH PER CAPITA. FELL THEY DO
HAVE. PERCENT DURING THAT BUT
THAT'S ALL. WHY REVOLVING LOW.
IS GOING TO BE A SPY. CRITICAL
ON TEST. I WOULD SAY A HEALTHY
SOILS IT'S STILL A NEWER
PROGRAM. BUT ACROSS THE NATION
THE FOOD. CHAIN ITSELF THE
BUYERS ARE AT THE TABLE WITH
THE AG GROUPS AND WITH NGOS.
BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT HOW CAN THEY ADD THE
INCENTIVES TO MAKING THIS
HAPPEN. THE BUSINESS CASE IS
BEING MADE TO REALLY SCALE THIS
UP. SO WE HAVE A COMBINATION OF
THINGS IT'S NOT THE PERFECT
ANSWER. BUT WE ARE PUTTING
FORWARD THE BEST LONG TERM PLAN
AND I WOULD SAY MADAM SECRETARY
THANK YOU THAT RESPONSE I WOULD
BE. TO SEND OURS TURN OF THE
CUT IN THE FUND STILL SET.
THANK IN VERY LITTLE FROM ONE.
IT'S RETAIN I JUST WANTED TO
ONE OF THE PROGRAM OFTEN DON'T
DON'T DO LOW AT BUT ACTUALLY A
SLIGHT IN THIS THAT I WANT TO
POINT TWO IS THE- THE- CLEAN
CARS FOR ALL PROGRAM FORMALLY
FMP WHICH ACTUALLY REPLACE
GIVES INCENTIVES TO. I MERRILY
LOW INCOME CONSUMERS WITH OLDER
VEHICLES THAT ARE REALLY SMOG
PRODUCING. TO I ACTUALLY SCRAP
THOSE VEHICLES AND GET MUCH
MORE EFFICIENT VEHICLES WITH
THE KICKER FOR THE MORE
EFFICIENT THE VEHICLE THE MORE
AT THE CLOSE TO GET TO AN
ELECTRIC VEHICLE. THE HIGHER
THE AMOUNT THAT PROGRAM IS
REALLY SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE
ACTUALLY REPLACES THE FLEET
INSTEAD OF ADDING ADDITIONAL
NEW CARS TO THE FLEET AND I
THINK THAT PROGRAM. NEEDS
THOUGHT ABOUT IN COMBINATION
WITH THE OTHER WE REALLY SHARE
YOUR YOUR TURN ABOUT
PARTICULARLY THE LOW INCOME TO
MORE ACCESS TO THE MARKET. NO I
APPRECIATE THAT I'M SURE TWENTY
SECONDS- I PROMISE- INTO- MADAM
AGRICULTURE SECTOR WHO. WE LOVE
WORKING WITH- IS. I THINK WE
BOTH KNOW IT'S OVER SUBSCRIBED
THERE ARE STILL THERE'S A
WAITING LIST. AND IT WAS A
COMMITMENT WHEN THE FOURTEENTH
TWO S. BEFORE. ANY OTHER
NUMBERS ARE. BEFORE FORTY SKI
ME FOURTEEN EIGHTY THREE OPPO.
MISTER LARS BILL WE MADE A PER.
THAT WE'D BE THERE WITH THE
FINDING AND I DON'T THINK WE'RE
THERE YET AGAIN. BASICALLY YOU
ARE WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH AND
IS NOT AYE AYE THROWING ROCKS A
YOU- BUT I THINK THAT THERE'S
STILL A LOT OF NEED OUT THERE
AND I'LL STOP. THANK YOU MISS
SKINNER. THE BREAKDOWN. THANK
THE THAT OUR MEMBERS THREE
WHICH IS YEAH. MITIGATION
REDUCTION IF WE GO BACK TO THE
STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS THAT'S
WHAT IT'S REALLY CHARGE TO DO
AND THEN THE CATALYST LOAN FUND
WHICH IS NEW IT'S NOT CAP AND
TRADE MONIES IT'S GENERAL FUND
TO ACHIEVE ALL PROPOSED WHICH
IN FACT YOU TO THAT COULD
POTENTIALLY USE FOR WHATEVER.
SO WHATEVER- NEW- EITHER
INNOVATIONS AND REDUCTION OR
ADAPTATION RESILIENCY IT COULD
POTENTIALLY DEPENDING ON YOU
KNOW AGAINST LEGISLATURE GOES
WITH THAT FIVE IT IT IT WHAT IT
ALLOWS FOR IT BECAUSE GENERAL
FUND WE DON'T THE SAME
RESTRICTIONS AS CAP AND TRADE
AND THEN THERE'S THE CLIMATE
BOND AND THE CLIMATE BOND OF
COURSES FOR. AS I READ IT I'M
TRYING TO PARAPHRASE THE
ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCY SO
IT'S NOT FOR MITIGATION SO
GIVEN THAT I WANT TO GO BACK TO
CAP AND TRADE SINCE IT STAFF
FOR A LEAN FOR THE REDUCTION IN
THE EDUCATION. I THINK THAT HI
FI. I THINK IT'S THIS
PARTICULAR PROPOSAL IS NOT THE
RIGHT APPROACH BECAUSE
TRANSPORTATION EMISSIONS ARE
NUMBER ONE SOURCE AND GROWING
THEY'RE ALSO THE BIGGEST SOURCE
OF AIR POLLUTION OUR AIR
QUALITY AS STATED BY OUR EPA
HEAD IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. SO
IN OUR DMT IS GOING UP SO I IN
ARE YOU LOOK AT THE AREAS THAT
GOT CUT. IN THEIR IN DE L. LOW
CARBON TRANSPORTATION AND THEY
ARE IN A COUPLE OF THE THINGS
THAT'S ONE SECOND AGREED WITH
MISTER- ACQUIRE. THE THIS IS
BOTH HE DIDN'T MENTION IT SO
MUCH SHE WAS THROW FOCUSED ON
DURING METHANE BUT THE
AGRICULTURAL DIESEL. DIESEL IS-
AS WE KNOW WHEN THE MOST
POLLUTING. FUELS AND THIS IS
ONE OF OUR PRIMARY SOURCES TO
GET IT BACK SO I DON'T AGREE
WITH THOSE CUTS AND- FACT
LASTLY. THE HI GLOBAL WARMING
POTENTIAL REFRIGERANTS TOYS
ONLY A MILLION ORIGINALLY WE
SHOULD HAVE BEEN GOING UP NOT
DOWN IF WE WERE TO RELEASE
EVERY BIT. OF HCFC AND SEE IF
SEE NOW IN ALL THE DIFFERENT
REFRIGERANTS THERE STILL SOME
SEE IF HE LEFT IS NOT ONLY AGE
THE OF SEE IF WE WERE TO
RELEASE EVERY BIT OF IT THAT
WAS IN CALIFORNIA TODAY WE
WOULD HAVE WE WOULD HAVE
RELEASED MORE. GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS THAN THE TOTAL
EMISSIONS. THAT ARE IN ANY IN
ALL OTHER SOURCES IN ANY GIVEN
YEAR. AND IT'S GLOBAL WARMING
POTENTIAL IS HUGE SO FOR
THINKING ABOUT IF I GO BACK TO
LA OWES POINT WHICH IS. NOT
ONLY ARE WE USING THE MONEY
COST EFFECTIVELY ARE WE GETTING
THE STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS BUT
WE ALSO. BECAUSE WE'RE ONLY AS
STATED CALIFORNIA NOT A HUGE
AMOUNT OF EMISSIONS SO ARE WE
DOING THINGS THAT OTHER PEOPLE
COULD IMITATE. THAT WOULD GET
US THE BENEFIT THAT WE NEED TO
IN THIS CLIMATE CRISIS ACROSS
THE WORLD. IT SEEMS LIKE THINGS
LIKE THE- REFRIGERANTS.
TRANSPORTATION ACT. IN HEALTHY
SOILS IN HEALTHY SOILS IN MORE
THAN JUST ACT BUT IN GENERAL
AND I WOULD APPOINT EVERYONE TO
LAWRENCE LIVERMORE LABORATORIES
LATEST REPORT ABOUT AND EVEN
THE I. P. P. C. IS ABOUT WE
GOTTA DO SEQUESTRATION AND OF
COURSE THE TYPE OF
SEQUESTRATION I AM PARTICULARLY
ATTACHED TO IS THE KIND THAT
ISN'T THE CAPTURE AND STORAGE
ON THE COAL PLANTS BUT RATHER
IN. THE A LAND YES WILD LANDS
AND ACT LANCE SO. THAT SAID
THAT'S MY LARA TORIO. TWO
THINGS ONE WE HAVE LESS MONEY
YES BUT WHY IS IT THAT OUR. SO
WHAT DO YOU CALL IT OUR
CONTINUOUS APPROPRIATIONS WHICH
ARE SUPPOSED TO ONLY BE A
PERCENT WIRED DATE UP SELECT
THE PROPOSAL FOR TWENTY TWENTY
ONE SAYS. OF THE FIFTEEN TWENTY
SEVEN. IT'S UP OVER THE
FOURTEEN FIFTY OF LAST YEAR
RIGHT WHY IS THE CONTINUOUS UP.
BUT THE OTHER PART
DISCRETIONARY DOWN. SO THAT
UNLIKE THE ANSWER THAT QUESTION
AND I ONE OF THE QUESTIONS.
FINANCE HI A METAL ME
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE SO- THE
CHART THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT
THE PHILLY- PUT TOGETHER IS
RELATED TO A COMPARISON FOR OF
WHAT'S ESSENTIALLY THE CURRENT
YEAR MONEY COMPARED TO THE
BUDGET THE BUDGET YEAR BUT-
WHAT DOESN'T IT ACCOUNT FOR IS
OF THAT- IT WAS ACTUALLY IN.
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN WHERE THAT
WAS WHERE THE A SURPLUS-
REVENUES CAME IN AND SO IS OVER
THREE BILLION DOLLARS OF-
OPTION REVENUES AND SO THAT WAS
ESSENTIALLY THE HIGH WATER MARK
OF CAP AND TRADE IN SO IF YOU
COMPARE WHAT THE BUDGET YEAR.
AMOUNTS ARE FOR THE CONTINUOUS
VERSES WHAT THEY WERE IN THE
HIGH WATER MARK OF ON THE PAST
YEAR- WHICH WAS OVER THREE
BILLION YOU WILL SEE A DECLINE
IN THE CONTINUOUS. SO IT IS SO
IT'S AN A SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT
OF A- MISLEADING CHART BECAUSE
THE HIGH WATER MARK ENDED UP
HAVING A SURPLUS AND THAT'S
WHAT WE SPENT LAST YEAR'S.
RIGHT I'M HAPPY TO WALK THROUGH
WITH YOUR STAFF. CONTINUOUS IS
SUPPOSED TO BE PERCENT OF WHAT
IT TOTALLY THAT'S RIGHT. SO IF
IT'S JUST A PERCENT OF WHATEVER
THE TOTAL IS. AND IF THE TOTAL
IS LESS THAN THE CONTINUOUS
AMOUNTS ARE LESS WE AGREE.
MAYBE YOUR CHARTS MISLEADING
ALL HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT LATER
BUT THE PARTS THAT WE HAVE
DISCRETION OVER OR WE LOWER IN
THE CONTINUOUS WENT UP LET'S
ASK ILLEGAL TO RESPOND SINCE
IT'S THEIR CHART IN QUESTION
YEAH SO ACTUALLY THE TO THE
CONTINUOUS APPROPRIATIONS ARE
HIGHER AND THE BUDGET YEAR
BECAUSE THEY'RE A CONTINUOUS
APPROPRIATION OF THE ANNUAL
REVENUE FROM THE AUCTION THE
COMPANY EACH YEAR AND SO
ACTUALLY THE PROJECTIONS FOR
REVENUE. IN THE BUDGET YEAR ARE
HIGHER THAN WHAT THEY ARE IN
THE CURRENT YEAR SO THAT'S WHY
YOU SEE CONTINUOUS
APPROPRIATIONS HIGHER AND THE
BUDGET YEAR THAN IN THE CURRENT
YEAR THEY DID THE REASON WHY
DISCRETIONARY MONEY IS LESS IS
THAT. COMING INTO THE CURRENT
YEAR THERE WAS A LARGE BALANCE
IN THE FUND AVAILABLE FROM KIND
OF PREVIOUS AUCTIONS WHERE WE
HAVE BUILT UP A LARGE FUND
BALANCE AND SO WE'RE ALLOCATE
IN ONE TIME FUNDING FROM THE
BALLOT SO NOT FUND. OTHER
WASN'T THERE ISN'T THE SAME
TYPE OF FUND BALANCE GOING INTO
THE BUDGET YEAR SO THAT'S WHY
YOU SEE YOU KNOW THE CONTINUES
APPROPRIATIONS BEING HIRED IT
SLIGHTLY HIGHER REVENUE
ESTIMATES BUT THE AMOUNT
AVAILABLE AND THE FUNDS IS
LOWER THAN IT WAS LAST YEAR AND
SO THERE'S LESS MONEY FOR THE
DISCRETIONARY SPENDING
HOPEFULLY THAT. HELPS WITH
THOSE AND SINCE. A EFFORT
DRINKING THE THAT TO THAT.
SOUTH THE IS MY TO BEING. THE
USE OF. AND SAYS. YEAH BROUGHT
SOME OF THE OF THAT ONE RIGHT
NOW ANYWAY. SO QUICK. THE STORY
TO ONE LA UTAH A LOT ABOUT
ALLOW. IN THE PROBLEM OF OVER
ALLOW ITS- I. WE HAVE A READ.
IN WHAT WE'RE- WE'VE GOT LESS
MONEY THAN WE'VE HAD.
POTENTIALLY AS WE GO FORWARD
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE. SO WHAT
WHAT'S THE ESTIMATE. AND MAYBE
YOU DON'T HAVE DANCE RIGHT NOW
BUT COULD YOU GIVE US AN
ESTIMATE OF. WHAT ALLOWANCES
COULD BE CORRECT AND WHAT MIGHT
THAT MEAN IN TERMS OF OUR FUND
BALANCE. OF MISTER I CAST WAS
TALKING ABOUT YOU KNOW WE COULD
POTENTIALLY RAISE THE AUCTION
THE- THE DOLLAR AMOUNT. THE
PRICE SIGNAL. BUT WE CAN TO FIX
SOME OF THE ALLIANCE'S SO IT
SOME POINT FRETS SOME ANALYSIS
ON IF WE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS
TO THE ALLOWANCES WHAT THAT
MIGHT DO FOR US. THE ANSWER
RIGHT THIS INSTANT WILL BE
HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOU IN
AND HELP OUT WITHOUT. OKAY AND
THEN LASTLY ON THE- CATALYST
FIND SO I THINK THERE'S- NO
THERE IT'S VERY INTRIGUING
BECAUSE IF WE'RE LOOKING AT.
YOU KNOW TRYING TO DEAL WITH
MARKET FAILURES. FIVE AND SO I
WON'T REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID SO I
MEAN EXCEPT THAT THAT IS WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO THEIR- MY
QUESTION IS HOW DO WE- HOW CAN
WE DESIGNED IT IN A WAY THAT.
WE'RE TRYING TO CORRECT FOR
MARKET FAILURES WHERE THERE'S-
CAPITAL IS NOT AVAILABLE SEWER
TO TESTED TECHNOLOGY BUT IF
THERE'S NOT A MARKET SIGNAL IF
THAT TECHNOLOGY IS NOT GOING TO
BE PICKED UP WE COULD BE
LENDING THE MONEY. AND THEN NOT
IT NOT GETTING INTO USE BECAUSE
YOU KNOW IF I GO BACK TO E.
BEES IF WE WAIT CUT BACK THREE
BATES POTENTIALLY WE COULD END
UP HURTING THE MARKET VIEW
DESCENDING AROUND MARKET SIGNAL
NOW THIS IS A DIFFERENT FINE
BUT SIMILARLY. WHAT IN WHAT
WAYS ARE WE GONNA DESIGN IT TO
ENSURE THAT WE GET THE TAKE UP
AND THE MONEY IS NOT JUST BEING.
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION
CENTER SKINNER MY NAME'S SCOTT
WE- I'M THE NEW EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF AYE BANK. THIS IS
MY ONE MONTH ANNIVERSARY THIS
WEEKEND I COULD IMAGINE A MORE
WONDERFUL WAY TO BE WELCOME
THEN. TO TESTIFY IN THIS AREA-
YOU COULD BUT THAT NO NO NO
THIS. AND SO I THINK THAT'S
VERY PER QUESTION THE- A
BILLION DOLLARS IS NOT GOING TO
FEEL. ANY GAP. NOBODY'S CORRECT
MARKET FAILURE- BUT WITH. IT'S
SEVEN O'CLOCK MARKET FAILURE.
SOLELY RELIES ON JUDGMENT OF
THE STAFF OF AYE BANK. TO
IDENTIFY THOSE MARKETS IN WHICH
WE CAN BRIDGE A GAP. WHICH WE
CAN EXTEND A PATHWAY FOR THE
GRANT PROGRAM. A SUCCESSFUL
PROJECTS AND IT WILL LOOK TO
BRING PARTIES TOGETHER. TO PUT
TOGETHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
THAT WILL ENABLE PROJECT TO GET
OFF THE GROUND. AND SO I THINK
ABOUT IT MORE AS IN. NOT
PUTTING A BILLION DOLLARS IN TO
FILL ANY PARTICULAR VOID. BUT
IT'S ACTUALLY TO START A
PATHWAY TO TURN A SPIGOT. WHERE
WE THINK THERE'S- A LOT SMALL
TURN CAN START THE FLOW OF
CAPITAL INTO ANY PARTICULAR
SUBSECTOR. YOU WE HAVE SOME
MODELS I RESET BECAUSE I WAS
PART OF THE- BACK IN A. B. NINE
THIRTY NINE PASS THAT WAS
AROUND ARE 50% WASTE REDUCTION-
IN ALAMEDA COUNTY WE- WE ENDED
UP HAVING OF THE LARGE FIND AND
WE KNEW THAT YOU HAD TO CLOSE
THE LOOP FOR RECYCLING SO WE
DECIDED TO USE THE SURPLUS IN
THE FINE TO CREATE A LOAN
PROGRAM TO DRIVE SECONDARY
MATERIALS MANUFACTURING. WHICH
IS THE CLOSING OF THE LOOP OF
RECYCLING AND WE DID SOME GREAT
THINGS. BUT AS MANUFACTURING IT
ENDED UP. I DON'T THINK THERE'S
ONE BUSINESS MAYBE TO
BUSINESSES THAT WE FIND IT.
ACCENT THAT TODAY OR EVEN EXIST
AND THERE'S BASICALLY LITTLE
VERY LITTLE SECONDARY MATERIALS
MANUFACTURING ANYWHERE IN THE
US THERE SOME VERY LITTLE SO HE-
SO THE POWER IN THE DESIGN OF
THIS FINE AND THIS PHONE WAS
DESIGNED ACTUALLY IN ADVANCE OF
MY ARRIVAL BUT WHEN I SAW HOW
IT WAS ARCHITECT AND I THOUGHT
THAT WAS BRILLIANT BECAUSE- IT
DESIGNS AND FLEXIBILITY. IT IS
DESIGNS IN THE ABILITY TO USE%
DIFFERENT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
IT DESIGNS IN THE ABILITY TO
LOOK AT DIFFERENT GAPS AND TO
BRING PARTIES TOGETHER SO IF WE
WERE TO SPECIFY THIS IS THE
TYPE OF LOAN THAT IT WOULD
PROVIDE ON THESE TERMS WITH
THESE CRITERIA IT BE QUITE
RIGID AND IN MAY PRODUCE THE
TYPE RESULTS BUT YOU SEE TO
CHIEF OR MAY NOT PRODUCE- ANY
ANY OF THOSE RESULTS. IN THIS
CASE IT CAN LOOK TO SEE WHERE
THE PARTIES ARE BRING THOSE
PARTIES TOGETHER BE IN THE
MARKET PLACE TALKING TO EACH OF
THE COUNTER PARTIES AND ARE
ALSO A COUPLE SOURCES AND
IDENTIFYING NEURAL GAPS THAT
YOU CAN START TO FILL TO SEE A
SUSPECT THE SEX WILL PROJECT
THROUGH TO COMPLETION. AND
NEARBY CATALYZE A MARKET AS A
DEMONSTRATION AFFECT FOR OTHER
PROJECTS OF SIMILAR TYPES TO
BRING IN MORE MORE KAPPLE
BECAUSE ONCE COUPLE STARTS
FLOWING THEN WE CAN WE CAN
ACTUALLY X. ABOUT MARKET AND
START LOOKING FOR THE NEXT ONE
CALLOUS. THIRTY SKINNER- NEXT
WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE NEXT THREE
MEMBERS UP ON Q. IN Q. IN THE
QUEUE IS MORE LOCK. MINING AND
MISTER TITLE. SEND MORE LOT.
AND I'M SURE I WILL. HAVE A FOR
QUICK QUESTIONS I'LL DIRECT
THEM TO- MISTER BROWN. AND IF
THE ADMINISTRATION WANTS THAT
PIPE IN PLEASE. PLEASE DO WITH
THE FIRST QUESTION IS- IN YOUR
REPORT. I YOU YOU DON'T SAY
ANYTHING ABOUT. HOW WE COMPARE
TO OTHER STATES. HOUSE ARE
CLIMATE CHANGE PROGRAM COMPARED
TO OTHER THOUGHT. I CAN ONLY
ASSUME THAT MAYBE WE'RE THE
ONLY STATE. IS DOING ITS THING
OR THAT MAYBE YOU HAVE ANOTHER
REPORT THAT I SHOULD. READ THAT
THAT INCLUDES OTHER MODELS THAT
WE CAN LOOK AT. YOU'RE RIGHT
THE WE ARE REPORT DOESN'T
INCLUDE THAT ANALYSIS AND
FRANKLY WE TRY TO. KEEP TRACK
AS BEST WE CAN OF CERTAIN
THINGS ARE GOING ON OTHER
STATES BUT WE HAVE NOT DONE THE
A KIND OF FULL BLOWN ANALYSIS
OF ALL OF THE ACTIONS THAT ARE
BEING TAKEN AND ALL OF THE
OTHER STATES- YOU KNOW IT. YEAH
I'M CERTAIN STATES ARE DOING
MORE THAN OTHERS OF COURSE BUT
I DON'T KNOW FRANKLY WE DON'T-
CAN'T SPEAK TOO MUCH TO KIND OF
ALL THE DETAILS OF WHAT'S GOING
ON OTHER STATES OUR FOCUS HAS
BEEN PRIMARILY HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. AND JUST BRIEFLY ON
THAT WE ARE PART OF THE U. S.
KLEIN ALLIANCE WHICH IS TWENTY
THREE STATES PLUS PORTER RICO
AND WE SHARE WITH THE REST
CLIMATE ALLIANCE. REGULARLY AT
BEST PRACTICES ACROSS THE
STATES WE LEARN A LOT FROM THE
OTHER STATES AND WE ALSO GIVE A
LOT OF YOU KNOW GUIDANCE ON WE
HAVE THE BIG CAP AND TRADE
PROGRAMS WE HAVE THAT BUT OTHER
STATES. FOR INSTANCE HAVE DONE
MORE NATURAL WORKING LANDS THEN
WE HAVEN'T SO WE'VE BEEN
LEARNING I'VE CONSISTENTLY FROM
THOSE THAT GROUP OF STATES- AND
IT'S INFORMED THESE PROPOSALS.
YOU ARE. BROWN I DO SEE IN YOUR
REPORT. THE MINUTE SENATOR
SKINNER BROUGHT UP IN THAT
THERE ARE RESTRICTIONS AS TO
HOW CAP AND TRADE FUNDS CAN BE
USED. I AM JUST CURIOUS ABOUT
THE REVOLVING LOAN FUND. AND
ABOUT THE BOND. WHY AREN'T
THOSE BOTH PAID OUT A CAP AND
TRADE- WE CURRENTLY. ISSUE
SCHOOL BONDS WERE PAYING THAT
THAT OUT A GENERAL FUND AS
OPPOSED TO. OUT OF THE PROP
NINETY EIGHT FUNDING. AND I
JUST SEE A GENERAL FUND THE
JUST KEEPS GETTING. YOU KNOW
IT. IMPACTED A LOT I WORRY
ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO BE CUT.
IF WE HAVE A RECESSION. SO IS
THERE A MENTION IN YOUR- YOUR
YOUR YOUR- DOCUMENT ON WHY WE
CAN'T USE CAP AND TRADE PLANS
TO PAY THE STATE. TWO HUNDRED
SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
IN PRINCIPAL INTEREST ON A FOUR
POINT EIGHT BILLION DOLLAR.
BOND SO I THINK THERE'S KIND OF
TWO PARTS TO IT ONE IS THE SIR
LEGAL REQUIREMENTS ON THE USE
OF CAP AND TRADE FUNDS AND
THERE'S SOME STATUTORY
DIRECTION ON THOSE FUNDS BEING.
TARGETED PRIMARILY TO
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTIONS AND
SO I THINK THERE'S SOME
QUESTIONS AROUND YOUR WEATHER
SORT OF CERTAIN ADAPTATION
RELATED PROJECTS WOULD MEET
THOSE REQUIREMENTS NOW. THOSE
THOSE ARE STATUTORY. DIRECTION
AND SO THE LEGISLATURE COULD
THINK ABOUT KIND OF BROADENING
THOSE TO OTHER TYPES OF
ACTIVITIES NO MORE ON THE
ADAPTATION SIDE FOR EXAMPLE-
AND I THINK IF YOU DID THAT AND
I THINK IT'S- REALLY COMES DOWN
TO A QUESTION OF. PRIORITIES
AND KIND OF HOW YOU WANT TO YOU
KNOW USE THAT LIMITED- POT OF
RESOURCES WHETHER IT BE FOR
MITIGATION RELATED ACTIVITIES
OR SOME OF THE OTHER PROGRAMS
THAT WERE CURRENTLY FUNDED OR
WHETHER. SOME OF THE OTHER
ACTIVITIES LIKE THINGS ARE IN
THE CLIMATE BOND ARE A HIGHER
PRIORITY FOR THE USE OF THOSE
FUNDS. BECAUSE YOU'RE USING IT
FOR CLIMATE. CHANGE AND SO I
CAN FROM A SELF HELP COUNTY WE-
HAVE A SALES TAX THAT. PAYS FOR
TRANSPORTATION WOULD YOU CAN.
BORROW UP FRONT AND HAVE THAT
INCOME STREAM PAY OFF THE DEBT
TRY JUST. JUST TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT FROM AN ACCOUNTING
STANDPOINT HOW THAT HANDLE IS
HANDLED. OF THE THIRD QUESTION
IS WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT WITH
LOAN DEFAULTS. THE JUST A JUST
A HIT TO THE GENERAL FUND WE
ALL JUST SUCK IT UP. YEAH I
MIGHT AB REFER THAT TO MY
COLLEAGUE MISTER WEATHERFORD.
TO DISCUSS THAT WITH. SEVEN AND
THE I THINK MIGHT BE ABLE TO
SPEAK TO THIS- TO AYE IF IT'S A
LOAN DEFAULTS I THINK WOULD
COME OUT OF THAT FUND THE TWO
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS
IT WOULDN'T NECESSARILY HIT.
THE GENERAL FUND DIRECTLY IN
LESS. YOU MADE A DECISION TO
LIKE BACK FILL. THAT OTHERWISE
YOU JUST USE REDUCE THE AMOUNTS
OF YOU LOSE. TWO POINT FIVE
MILLION IN AND ALONE IT THEY
JUST THE FAULT AND YOU JUST
HAVE. THAT WOULD I MEAN I
PERCENT LEFT TO. RIGHT THAT
WOULD COME OUT OF THE FOR THE
FUND THAT'S BEING ESTABLISH.
THEN THE LAST QUESTION MISTER
BROWN- HIGH SPEED RAIL WE WERE
JUST TOLD LAST WEEK IT'S
ANOTHER ONE POINT THREE BILLION
DOLLARS IN. WORK WORD WHERE DO
WE AS A STATE SAY OKAY IT WILL
NOT PENCIL OUT. EVERY TIME YOU
KNOW WE HAD EVERY YEAR WE HAVE
ANOTHER INCREASE. AND IT. WENT
WHEN WE WERE. IT WILL THERE'S
GOT TO BE A POINT WHERE WE-
DON'T BENEFIT. FINANCIALLY OR
WITH GREENHOUSE GASES BY JUST
CONSTANTLY THROWING MORE MONEY
AT. THIS PROJECT SO WHEN YOU
GONNA TELL US TO STOP. I'M
PRETTY SURE I CAN ANSWER THAT
QUESTION RIGHT NOW. I MEAN I
THINK I'LL JUST KIND OF COME
BACK TO THE COMMENT ON ON
PRIORITIES AND YOU KNOW I MEAN
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO LOOK
AT BOTH DISCRETIONARY SPENDING
AND CONTINUOUS APPROPRIATIONS
AND HIS ARE ALL THINGS OF THE
LEGISLATURE TO BE THINKING
ABOUT ABOUT HOW TO BEST
PRIORITIZE ITS RESOURCES- I'M
FRANKLY BY NOT THE BEST. PERSON
TO SPEAK TO HIGH SPEED RAIL I
THINK WE HAVE SOME OHER FOLKS
IN OUR OFFICE WOULD BE I THINK
HAPPY TO CHAT WITH YOU ABOUT
THE DETAILS OF THE PLAN BUT I
THINK IT'S LARGELY A- QUESTION
OF PRIORITIES WELL THERE'S
GONNA BE A TIME WHERE WE CAN'T
PENCIL IT OUT. TAKE A PRICE OR
ANYTHING ELSE AND SO I THERE'S
A TIME TO FISH CUT BAIT AND SO
ON THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME PUT
YOU ON THE SPOT. THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR AND YOUR STAFF I WANT TO
THANK. ALL THE PRESENTERS.
TODAY IN I WANT TO THANK THE
GOVERNOR FOR. FOCUSING IN AN
INTENTIONAL MANNER HOW THE
BUDGET IS STRUCTURED TO FACE.
WHAT I PREFER TO CALL THE
CLIMATE CRISIS. FROM MY
QUESTION AND IT'LL BE TO LA OR
ANYONE ON THE PANEL GOES TO THE
OVERALL SCOPING OF. THE THREAT
FROM THE DYNAMIC NATURE OF IT
SHIFTING FROM COASTAL TO
WILDFIRES SENTRA. A LOT OF THIS
STRUCTURE SEEMS TO BE TO HELP
US TO ACHIEVE STATUTORY
OBLIGATIONS GOALS AND
OBJECTIVES THAT WE'VE SET. BUT
WHO'S DOING THE ON GOING BIG
PICTURE MONITORING ARE. WE
GOING BACKWARDS ON A TREADMILL
CLEARLY WE DO THE WE CAN IN
CALIFORNIA BUT WERE PART OF A
GLOBAL SYSTEM I SIT ON CARB IS
A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SENATE
WE'VE LOOKED AT THE- IMPACTS OF
TROPICAL FOREST DESTRUCTION HOW
THAT IMPACTS ON GLOBAL CLIMATE
SO WE'RE SENDING MODELS IN
CALIFORNIA OTHERS ARE LOOKING
AT IT BUT- IS IT THROUGH THE
RESEARCH- MONIES AND IF SO WHO
ARE WE DRAWING UPON THIS IT
INTERNAL STATE EXPERTISE ARE WE
DRAWING IN GLOBAL EXPERTISE. IT
SEEMS LIKE PART OF OUR GOAL
SETTING HAS TO BE DYNAMIC AND
IF WE LOCK OURSELVES IN WITH
WITH BOND ALLOCATIONS I THINK
OUR G. G. R. F. IS A LITTLE
MORE DYNAMIC YEAR TO YEAR BUT I
ECHO MY COLLEAGUE SO JUST CLOSE
ON THIS. AS A MEMBER OF CAR
WERE WERE HITTING OUR TARGET
CENTER NOBLE ENERGY BUT WERE
BEHIND ON VEHICLE. EMISSIONS
AND THEN I LOOK AT. THE G. G.
R. F. PROPOSAL AND WE'RE
CUTTING TO THOSE AREAS OF LOW
CARBON TRANSPORTATION
AGRICULTURE DIESEL ENGINE. IT'S
EIGHT THAT. THAT'S NOT
CONSISTENT WITH WHAT ARE OTHER
DATA IS TELLING US WERE WERE
BEHIND IT WE SHOULD BE
INVESTING MORE IT WOULD SEEM-
ARM. AND THEN BACK TO THE BIG
PICTURE SCOPING. OR IS THIS
GONNA BE SUFFICIENT SHOULD THE
BOND TO BE DOUBLE SHOULD THE G.
G. R. F. B. DOUBLE OR TRIPLE
BASED ON THE BEST REAL TIME
PROJECTIONS OF THE THREAT OF
THE CLIMATE CRISIS- I WAS GLAD
TO HEAR THE SECRETARY'S.
LINKING VERY CLEARLY AND
EXPLICITLY PUBLIC HEALTH IS. HE
IS THE VICTIM OF THE CLIMATE
CRISIS- WE HAD WE'VE MAYBE
STILL DO HEALTH AND ALL
POLICIES- THROUGH OUR HEALTH
COMMITTEE SOME PUBLIC HEALTH.
LED BY DR PAN WE TRY TO LOOK AT
HEALTH AND ALL OVER POLICIES
WHAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT CLIMATE
IN ALL OF OUR POLICIES BUT THIS
FOCUS HOW WE PRIORITIZE OUR
BUDGET. WHO'S DOING THE SCOPING
AND HAD A WE BUILD IN THE
DINING DYING THEM IS SOME TO
ADAPT OUR INVESTMENT IN HAD A
WE KNOW FOR INVESTMENT IS EVEN
COMING CLOSE TO ACHIEVING OUR
OBJECTIVES SO THERE'S A LOT IN
THERE- I WANT TO ECHO- SENATOR
MAGUIRE'S CONCERN ALSO OUR
AGRICULTURAL. FOCUS THE DAIRIES
IS CRITICAL- AG VEHICLES WE
SHOULD BE INVESTING IN THOSE
AREAS WHERE WE CAN GET. THE
BEST BANG FOR OUR BUCK SO A
LITTLE MORE EDITORIAL IN
QUESTION BUT WHO'S DOING THE
SCOPING AND HAD A SIT. INFORM
US. TO BE ABLE TO ADAPT WHERE
WERE INVESTING. I'M HAPPY TO
TAKE THAT YOU CAN. I WOULD LIKE
TO HEAR FROM LA OKAY IF YOU
WANT TO LEAD OFF AND THEN WE'LL
GO TO LA ON. SITE I THINK THE
KIND OF PARADIGM SHIFT SENATOR
MONNING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO
CREATE IN THIS BUDGET IS THAT
CLIMATE IN OLD POLICY FRAME-
AND SO GOING FROM JUST A G. G.
R. F. BUDGET TO- CLIMATE
RESILIENCE BOND BUDGET. AND ACT
CLIMATE CAMP CATALYST FUND IS
REALLY THE BEGINNING- IF YOU
LOOK AT I CARE AND WAIT AND I
WORKED ON A PROJECT WITH MANY
STAKEHOLDERS- CALLED THE WATER
RESILIENCE PORTFOLIO WHICH IS
LOOKING AT TEN REGIONS ACROSS
THE STATE AND JUST THROW
BORDERLANDS KIND OF HOW WE'RE
GOING TO DEAL WITH CLIMATE
CHANGE- ANOTHER A- COMPLETE
DIFFERENT LANDS. IS LOOKING AT
THROUGH A SECTOR ECONOMY AND
THAT SB THIRTEEN EIGHTY THREE
THERE'S A WHOLE ISSUE OF SHORT
LIVED CLIMATE POLLUTANTS AND
HOW THAT METHANE WORKS TOGETHER
THEN THIS TRANSPORTATION
PLANNING YOU KNOW IT ALL KINDS
OF COMES TOGETHER- IN WHAT'S
CURRENTLY THE FOURTH CLIMATE
ASSESSMENT. TO LOOK TO LOOK AT
WHAT THOSE RISKS ARE BUT THE
RISKS I THINK HAVE BEEN
ARTICULATED FAIRLY WELL IN A
HOLISTIC FASHION BY OUR ACTIONS
TO RESPOND TO THEM HAVE NOT-
AND SO OUR GOAL IS TO BRING
THESE POTS TOGETHER SAYS THE
RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARD-
CLIMATE. KABIN A NEUTRAL ENERGY
BY TWENTY FORTY FIVE IS AN
ENTIRE EXERCISE LOOKING AT
SCOPING THAT ACTIVITY WE DID
DOES THE UC REPORT THAT WE'RE
DOING LOOKING AT SUPPLY AND
DEMAND THE FOSSIL FUELS TO
TWENTY FORTY FIVE SAID A-
AMOUNT THE USE OF MANY PEOPLE
AROUND THE WORLD. I'M REALLY
VERY HIGH LEVEL OF EXPERTISE OF
DOING THAT SO IN TERMS OF THE
ASSESSMENT WHACK AT. I THINK
THE CHALLENGE MEETING THOSE
ASSESSMENTS A LOT OF SCIENCE
THAT TELLS US HOW DOT. TO BE
SAYS AND IT IS STANDS PINE. YOU
KNOW WE KNOW WHAT MANY OF THE
CHALLENGES ARE WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO IS BRING ALL OF
THE GOVERNMENT TOGETHER FOR ONE
RESPONSE THANK YOU AND I WANT
TO HEAR FROM LA- BUT- MAYBE AS
WE SHIFT LA. IS CAP TRADE
SUFFICIENT. SHOULD WE RAISING.
THE COST FOR A- AND IS ANYBODY.
BY COME. TO A CARBON TAX. SO
MAYBE I'LL ANSWER YOUR FIRST
QUESTION AND THEN PASS IT TO
MISTER BROWN FOR THE SECOND I
THINK YOU PROBABLY ALL GET
REALLY SICK OF US SITTING HERE
AND SAYING IT'S A MATTER OF
LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES IN TRADE
OFFS- BUT I THINK THAT IS SORT
OF THE ANSWER HERE THERE IS NO
MAGIC NUMBER- THERE IS A LARGE
NEED AND THERE ARE LIMITED
RESOURCES AND SO FIGURING OUT
THAT THE BEST WAY TO USE THOSE
RESOURCES. I THINK ONE OF THE
POINTS WE WOULD MAKE YOUR
SPECIFICALLY AROUND THE CLIMATE
BOND IS IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
HERE BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE
CHALLENGE TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE'RE SPENDING THAT DOLLARS
WISELY AND EFFECTIVELY AND THAT
WE'RE LEARNING FROM THEM
BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW
CHALLENGE. AND I THINK THAT'S
ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS WE
HAVE FOR YOU IS THINKING ABOUT.
HOW WE GONNA LEARN WHAT WERE.
WHAT WHAT WE'RE GETTING FOR
THIS MONEY AND ARE WE GOING TO
SHARE THAT INFORMATION BECAUSE
HISTORICALLY. THE WAY WE'VE
DONE THAT WITH BONDS AS WE SAID
WELL HOW D WE KNOW. THAT THIS
WAS EFFECTIVE WELL WE SPENT THE
DOLLARS ON WHAT WE SAID WE WERE
GOING TO SPEND THE DOLLARS ON.
AND HAT THAT HAS BEEN DEEMED A
SUCCESS AN AND WITH THIS IF WE
REALLY WANT TO KIND OF MOVE THE
NEEDLE ON RISK REDUCTION IS
GOING TO HAVE TO BE A LITTLE
BIT. AT MARTIN MORE ROBUST BUT
ALSO THAT'S VERY DIFFICULT WE
HAVEN'T REALLY DONE THAT BEFORE
OF HOW WE ENSURING THAT THIS
PROJECT IS REALLY- ACHIEVING
THAT CLIMATE RESILIENCE GOALS
THAT WE WANT TO HEAD IT WE
DIDN'T. NOT JUST THAT DID WE
RESTORE THE WETLAND BUT IS THE
WETLAND. AFFECTED THAT
BUFFERING THE WAVES SO THAT IS
THE LA- RELY UPON. FOR CASTING
ABOUT. THE SIZE OF THE THREAT.
IN IN THE COMMENSURATE NEED. TO
FORTIFY TO BUILD I MEAN THE
WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE IN THE IN
THE CLIMATE ASSESSMENTS IS THE
BODY OF WORK THAT WE HAVE IN
TERMS OF RISK ASSESSMENT AT
THIS POINT BUT- BUT AS STRICTER
GORDON SAID WE JUST WE DON'T
HAVE A SIMILAR BODY OF WORK IN
TERMS OF. ADAPTATION STRATEGY
AND EFFECTIVENESS AND SO THIS
COULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
START BUILDING THAT BUT YOU
NEED TO. REALLY BILL THAT IN ON
THE FRONT AND WHAT OUR
OBJECTIVES AND HOW WE GOING TO
MEASURE. THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
THOSE OBJECTIVES IT WOULD THAT
HAS TO BE KIND OF SET UP AT THE
AT THE FOREFRONT WE CAN'T BE
COMING IN LATER. IN A HAS LA
COMPARED. CARBON TAX TO HAPPEN
TRADE AS A MANS OF ACHIEVING
OUR OBJECTIVES. THAT'S NOT AN
ANALYSIS THAT WE HAVE DONE-
WAITED WE THINK IT'S SO IT'S A
GOOD QUESTION TO ASK THOUGH I
MEAN THERE WOULD CERTAINLY BE
THE CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH
MAKING THAT SHIFT- NO DOUBT BUT
I MEAN I THINK. NO GIVEN THE
AMBITIOUS GOALS THAT THE
LEGISLATURE HAS SAT AND YOU
KNOW THE POTENTIAL COSTS
ASSOCIATE WITH MEETING THOSE
GOALS THINKING ABOUT WHICH TOOL
IS GOING TO ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS
MOST EFFECTIVELY IS VERY
IMPORTANT AND KIND OF YOU KNOW
THAT THAT NOW I ALSO US IS
SUPPOSED TO SING. ONE OR THE
OTHER AS BETTORS HAVE THE DATA.
THE ENORMITY OF THE THREAT IS
SO GREAT THAT WE SHOULD NOT
JUST BE LOCKED IN THE PAST
WE'VE CHOSEN IS. IS THE LONG
TERM BEST PATH YEAH YEAH AND I
AND I THINK YOU KNOW ONE OF THE
KEY QUESTIONS THAT KIND OF
SURROUNDS THAT QUESTION OF CAP
AND TRADE VERSES A CARBON TAXES
WHICH RESTS YOUR SORT OF MOST
CONCERNED ABOUT I MEAN THERE'S
A LOT OF DIFFERENT FACTORS BUT
YOU KNOW FOR A CARBON TAX YOU
SORT YOU KNOW WHAT THE PRICE
AND THE COST OF THE EMISSION
REDUCTIONS ARE GOING TO BE BUT
YOU DID. HAVE LESS CERTAINTY
AROUND THE LEVEL OF THE
MISSIONS THAT ARE GOING TO
OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THAT AND
CAP AND TRADE IS. NOW N THEORY
AT LEAST SORT OF THE OPPOSITE
WHERE YOU HAVE A LITTLE MORE
CERTAINTY AROUND THE LEVEL OF
EMISSIONS BUT LESS SO ON FOR
THE PRICING COSTS NOW THERE'S
COMPLICATING FACTORS IN THERE
ARE WAYS TO KIND OF MAKE A
HYBRID BETWEEN THOSE THOSE
THINGS BUT THAT'S KIND OF THE-
YOU KNOW I THINK SORT OF THE
FIRST ORDER OF CONSIDERATION
WHEN THINKING ABOUT. THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE TWO
AND THEN I THINK YOU HAD A
COMMENT WE JUST. SORRY I WAS
JUST GONNA JUMP IN QUICKLY ON
YOUR FIRST QUESTION BECAUSE I
THINK IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT
ONE AND I THINK THE INVESTMENT
IN RESEARCH AND I'M GOING
UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPACTS OF
CLIMATE CHANGE AND HOW OUR
RESPONSE THIS HEATHER BE
EFFECTIVE ARE. IMPORT THE BOND
PROPOSED. IS BUILT ON A MAP TO
WRAP. PRINCIPLES OF BILLION
SWITCHER WRITTEN UP FROM THE
INTEGRATED HIGH AT IT TO. RISEN
PER. THAT WOULD THEN BE USED TO
DO AN ACCOUNTABILITY FRAMEWORK
VIA THE STRATEGIC GROWTH
COUNCIL AND OTHER IMPLEMENTING
AGENCIES. AND IT DOES BUILD IN
A NEW MORE INTEGRATED STRUCTURE
TO TRY TO GET AT THAT
ACCOUNTABILITY IN TERMS OF OUR-
RESILIENCE. OUTCOMES I THINK
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
CONVERSATION THAT WE HAVE.
ABOUT HOW WE DO THAT
IMMIGRATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
AND IT IS DIFFERENT FROM HOW
WE'VE DONE BONDS IN THE PAST
IT'S NOT JUST CHECKING BOXES.
THAT ALL THESE YOU KNOW YOU HAD
THIS MANY PUBLIC MEETINGS OR
THIS MANY. YOU KNOW THINGS BUT
IT IS REALLY THAT YOU. IS THAT
WE ARE ALL GROUNDED IN THE BEST
AVAILABLE SCIENCE WERE
RESPONDING TO NEW INFORMATION
AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. AND
COORDINATING OUR INVESTMENTS TO
BE AS EFFECTIVE IN SYNERGISTIC
AS POSSIBLE- AND SO I THINK IT
IS A REALLY IMPORTANT. ELEMENT
THAT AS WE LOOK AT THESE
INVESTMENTS WE SHOULD BE
THINKING ABOUT- AND SOMETHING
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO THINK
ABOUT ACROSS ALL OF OUR
AGENCIES- AND TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF BEST YOU SEE IS AN EXISTING
BODY TO TRY TO DO SOME OF THAT
WORK. THANK YOU THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
AND THANK YOU TO THE PANEL FOR.
ALL YOUR COMMENTS AND ANSWERED
ALL THE QUESTIONS- THAT WE HAVE
TODAY- I WANTED TO EXPRESS MY
SUPPORT FOR THE
ADMINISTRATION'S OUR CLAIM IN
EQUITY PILOT PROJECTS.
PARTICULARLY BE UP. THE CLEAN
CARS FOR ALL IF IT'S BEEN VERY
HELPFUL DOWN IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY BUT ALSO WANTED. ISSUE
THE POLLS ON THE EXTREME HE
TEN. ARE THE FARM PROGRAM AND
OTHERS THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD
THINGS IN HERE THAT I REALLY
REALLY APPRECIATE- I WANTED TO
JUST KIND OF. ASK IS THERE A
REASON OR HAVE YOU KNOW HAVE
YOU LOOKED INTO CONSIDERING
SUBSIDENCE AS ONE OF THE-
EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. THE
GOOD QUESTION SO. YOU KNOW AS
YOU KNOW AND OTHERS A HERE NO-
SUBSIDENCE ARE LITERALLY THE
SINKING OF THE GROUND OCCURS-
WHEN A GROUND WATER BASINS ARE
OVER DRAFTED. AND SO WE'VE
EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT
SUBSIDENCE IN RECENT DECADES HI
IN PLACES WHERE GROUNDWATER
OVERDRAFT OCCURS THE BIG
PROBLEM- AND AS YOU KNOW IT
IMPACTS. INFRASTRUCTURE
INCLUDING ROADS AND AQUA DOCKS
AND SO PART OF WHAT WITH WHAT'S
DRIVEN SIGMAN THE FIRST PLACE
IS TRYING TO GET A HANDLE ON
REDUCING SUBSIDENCE. I THINK
FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE- INSURING
THE SUSTAINABLE USE OF
GROUNDWATER IN SUPPORTING
COMMUNITIES THAT SUFFER SOME
FROM SUBSIDENCE IS VERY MUCH
PART OF OUR CLIMATE RESILIENCE
STRATEGY. I THINK WE WOULD MOST
DIRECTLY TO YOUR QUESTION- I
WOULD TAKE SUBSIDES WOULD BE
SORT OF A SECONDARY IMPACT OF
CLIMATE CHANGE TO THE EXTENT
THAT YOU KNOW GROUND WATER HAS
TO BE I CONTINUE TO BE OVER
DRAFTED AS A RESULT OF LAST
SURFACE WATER. DRIVEN FROM
CLIMATE SHORT OF IT IS I THINK
THAT WE ARE COMMITTED TO
CONTINUING TO SUPPORT
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE SUFFERING
SOME FROM SUBSIDENCE
SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE BOND
THROUGH THAT ON FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT IN
SICK IMPLEMENTATION. OKAY SO
RECENTLY THERE WAS A REPORT OF-
I THINK IT WAS UP AT THE PARTY
IN NEAR THE BAY AREA WHERE THE-
THAT WAS. IT'S BEEN A- SUNKEN
RIGHT AND I'M WHAT WOULD YOU
SAY. TO A COASTAL COMMUNITY
WHERE THERE IS SUBSIDENCE BUT
IT'S NOT NECESSARY I MEAN ARE
THEY IS OUR WATER OVER DRAFTING
THERE AS WELL OR- I'M NOT
FAMILIAR WITH THAT- SPECIFIC
EXAMPLE BUT I KNOW THERE IS AN
INTERACTION- IN SOME CASES
BETWEEN- SEA LEVEL RISE IN
SHIFTING GEOLOGY. YES THE WATER
COASTAL SEA WATER INTRUSION- SO
THAT YOU KNOW TO THE EXTENT
THAT THAT IS THAT THERE ARE
IMPACTS- FROM SUBSIDENCE BASED
ON THE WATER INTRUSION I THINK
YOU COULD SAY THAT'S VERY MUCH
A SECONDARY IMPACT OF CLIMATE
CHANGE. ALL RIGHT FREE AND THEN
THE OTHER PART. I HAVE A LOT OF
QUESTIONS HERE TODAY BUT I'M
JUST GOING TO STICK TO A- TWO
MORE. ON SIGMA AB I KNOW THAT I
HAVE ABOUT THAT. THREE OF THE
UP THE THREE OF THE FORTY
COMMUNITIES THAT I REPRESENT
SUBMITTED. A REQUEST FOR
FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO HELP WITH
THE IMPLEMENTATION- THE TOTAL
OF THE THREE IS SEVENTY THREE
MILLION DOLLARS AND I KNOW THAT
IN THE BUDGET THERE'S- THREE
IN. THREE NINETY FIVE SO HOW
DID YOU KIND OF GET TO THAT
NUMBER. JUST YEAH TRY TO GET A
SENSE OF THAT WAS STATE
GOVERNMENT THROUGH VARIOUS BOND
MEASURES IN GENERAL FUND
SUPPORT- HAVE FUNDED THE LOCAL
IMPLEMENTATION OF SIGNAL TO THE
TUNE OF ONE BILLION DOLLARS. TO
DATE AND THAT'S BEEN REALLY
IMPORTANT GETTING US THIS FAR.
IN SO AS YOU KNOW WE- SUGGEST
OR- PROPOSE IN THIS BOND
PROPOSAL ON ALMOST ANOTHER
ADDITIONAL FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION. ADDITIONALLY THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET.
CALLS FOR A PROPOSES SIXTY
MILLION DOLLARS IN ONE TIME
GENERAL FUND SO I THINK. FROM
OUR PERSPECTIVE- THERE ARE
ONGOING NEEDS OF THESE
GROUNDWATER BASINS. AND WE NEED
TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN- IN
THIS MOVEMENT TO SUSTAINABLE-
GROUNDWATER IT'S HAPPENED IN
PROP ONE PROP SIXTY EIGHT
HOPEFULLY IN THIS CLIMATE
RESILIENCE BOND AND PRESUMABLY
IN OTHER BONDS AS WELL. AND I
JUST WANTED TO CALL MY
COLLEAGUES ARE COMMON- FROM
EARLIER THAT WE REALLY KIND OF
YOU TO REALLY FOCUS ON THE
PUBLIC HEALTH SIDE OF THINGS
WHEN IT COMES TO CRIME CLIMATE
CHANGE. I DON'T REALLY SEE
THAT- YOU KNOW A WHOLE LOT HERE
BUT ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE
HAVE DOWN IN THE SOUTHERN
VALLEY IS VALLEY FEVER AND I. I
MEAN JUST MITIGATION I THINK IS
A SOMETHING THAT'S ALSO REALLY
IMPORTANT TO US MAKING SURE
THAT ESPECIALLY WITH YOU KNOW
SICK MIND THE FELLING OF LAND
THAT WE- ALSO TAKE THOSE. YOU
KNOW THE- WE'VE BEEN HAVING
JUST STORMS BUT WITH MORE. OF
YOU KNOW HAVING MORE OF THAT
WITH THE FELLING OF LAND THAT
WE REALLY LOOK AT THE PUBLIC
HEALTH. SIDE OF THINGS WHEN IT
COMES TO CLIMATE CHANGE. YEAH I
WOULD JUST ADD THAT. THAT THERE
IS A CLEAR CO BENEFIT OF MANY
OF THESE INVESTMENTS AT LEAST
FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE THAT WE'RE
MAKING CLIMATE RESILIENCE ON
DIRECTLY PROTECTING PUBLIC
HEALTH. THOSE SIGMA INVESTMENTS
WE DO BOTH THE GENERAL FUND
THAT WE'RE PROPOSING FOR THIS
YEAR AS WELL AS THE BOND
INVESTMENT WE DO ENVISIONED
HELPING COMMUNITIES PLAN. FOR
AND THAT FOR ANY FOLLOWING TO
MINIMIZE DUST SUPPRESSION AND
TRY TO REDUCE I ECONOMIC
IMPACTS FROM THAT FOLLOWING- SO
WE DO WE WOULD ENVISION STATE
RESOURCES. WORKING TO ADDRESS
AND MINIMIZE ANY DUST IMPACT
FROM FOLLOWING. AND I HAVE JUST
ONE MORE QUESTION- UNDER CAP
AND TRADE AND NO- I THOUGHT
THAT THERE WAS A COUPLE OF
INVESTMENTS- ED PARTICULARLY ON
COAL MINES- BUT POLLUTION
OFFSETS AND BUT IN PLACES LIKE
ALL MY THE KENTUCKY AND
TROPICAL RAINFOREST IN SOUTH
AMERICA I MEAN. IS THERE A
REASON BEHIND OUR INVESTMENTS
AND THOSE TYPES OF PROJECTS DO
ISSUE WE EXPECT YOU KNOW
CONTINUE TALKS TO EXPECT THAT.
SAYS THAT THE VOLUNTARY OFFSET
MARKET THAT THAT IS AND HOW WE
AT G. BEING YOU KNOW REDUCTIONS
IN THIS CONTEXT OUR GOAL OF
THIS LAYS THE CALIFORNIA
OFFSETS AS WE MOVE TOWARDS
KABIN NEUTRALITY- I THINK THE
GOAL OF SETTING FOR INSTANCE
TROPICAL FOREST AND IT'S FULL
OF SETS- IS TO SHOWS THAT
EXTERNAL VOLUNTARY MARKET. THE
OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST IN A WAY
THAT HAS INTEGRITY AND SO
THERE'S A LOT OF- BECAUSE OF
SENATOR MONNING AND THE COBB
BOARDS INTEGRITY IN THESE
PROCESS THESE A LOT WAS
INVESTED IN IN THAT PROCESS-
BUT IT ISN'T A STRATEGY THAT
WAY USING FOR A- CALIFORNIA.
THANK YOU. YOU ON SENATOR LABEL
FOLLOWED BY SENATOR DOLLY INTO
LEYVA THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
GOOD AFTERNOON I GUESS IT'S
EVENING NOW THANK YOU ALL FOR
BEING HERE I JUST HAVE TO SAY
START WITH THE COMPLEMENT I'D
LOVE THE STRATEGIC GROWTH
COMMITTEE THANK YOU FOR ALL
YOUR WORK WE DO APPRECIATE YOU
VERY MUCH- I HAVE A COMMENT-
BEFORE MY QUESTIONS- WE HEARD A
LOT WE'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT
EMISSIONS AND I HOPE THAT SB
TWO TEN SMOG CHECK FOR BIG
TRUCKS WILL CUT OUT A LOT OF
THOSE EMISSIONS- BUT I ALSO
WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT THAT
WHAT OUR PRIORITIES ARE. YOU
KNOW WE MIGHT HAVE REALLY HIGH
AND LOFTY GOALS AND PRIORITIES
BUT I THINK ABOUT SB TWO TEN WE
KNOW THAT THIS IS GOING TO
CHANGE THE AIR QUALITY WE KNOW
THIS IS GOING TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE BUT IT TOOK THREE
YEARS BECAUSE YOU HAVE FACTIONS
THAT DON'T WANT TO DO WHAT THEY
NEED TO DO SO IT'S NOT ALWAYS
JUST US AND WHAT WE WANT IT'S
HOW DO WE GET THE PEOPLE WHO
OPPOSE WHAT WE'RE DOING ON
BOARD AND I'M VERY HAPPY TO
SAVE IT WITH SB TWO TEN WE GOT.
CALIFORNIA TRUCKING INDUSTRY TO
AN ENTHUSIASTIC NEUTRAL THAT
WAS A WIN. AND I'M ALSO VERY
EXCITED ABOUT SB ATTEND. TWO
AND THE DATE THAT IS IN THE
BUDGET. ANY REASON WHY IT
HASN'T BEEN FUNDED BEFORE THIS.
YOU GUYS HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT
THAT SB TO TEN MIN NO A TEN
SEVENTY TWO. TEN SEVENTY TWO IS
THE REGIONAL CLIMATE CLUB YES I
IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET WE
RECEIVED FUNDING FOR STAFFING
FOR THE PROGRAM SO WE'VE BEEN
STARTING TO WORK. TO DEVELOP
THE TECH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
GUIDELINES WHICH WILL HAVE BY
THE- JULY ONE DEADLINE OF THIS
YEAR- WERE ALSO USING SOME
EXISTING TA I TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE RESOURCES TO START
DOING. LAYING THE GROUNDWORK
FOR WHEN WE HOPE WE HAVE. THE
COLLABORATIVE FUNDING TO
ACTUALLY START BUILDING THAT ON
THE GROUND I'M CAPACITY OKAY-
BUT YEAH SO WE ARE WE ARE
STAFFED UP AND READY TO GO
AWESOME- AND I'M VERY EXCITED
ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT
CAPACITY. IN SO MANY SMALL
CITIES SMALL COMMUNITIES
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR DON'T HAVE
THE CAPACITY SO THE HOPE IS.
THIS WILL HELP WITH THAT MY
QUESTION IS ABOUT TCC FUNDING-
WHICH I'M A GREAT FAN OF AS
WELL SINCE ONE OF MY- CITIES
RECEIVED THIRTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS. THEY WERE SIXTY
BILLION LAST YEAR BUT NO
FUNDING THIS YEAR. WHY ANYONE
WHO TO ANSWER. HELLO I IS IT IS
A IT IS A REALLY EFFECTIVE
PROGRAM OR SEEN GREAT RESULTS
ON THE GROUND IN OUR FIRST TWO
ROUNDS OF FUNDING AND WHERE I
JUST ABOUT TO WRAP UP
APPLICATIONS FOR AROUN THREE
THE WE REMAIN VERY COMMITTED TO
THE PROGRAM AND REALLY WANT TO
TRY TO FIND AT A STABLE SOURCE
OF FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO-
INVEST IN THOSE COMMUNITIES
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PLANNING
GRANTS ARE OUT RIGHT NOW WE
HAVE FIFTEEN COMMUNITIES DOING
PLANNING FOR TCC HE- AND
RELATED INVESTMENTS THEY AREN'T
ALL GONNA APPLY FOR TCC. BUT A
NUMBER WHO ARE WORKING ON THAT
AND SO IT IS A PIPE A PROJECT
OR SORRY PROGRAM THE TAKES A
PIPELINE IT TAKES TIME TO BUILD
THE PARTNERSHIPS IN THE
CAPACITY TO DO THE WORK- AND SO
WE REALLY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW CAN WE GET SOME STATE
STABILITY AND SUPPORT FOR THOSE
COMMUNITIES THAT GOES OUT OVER
A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME SO I WE
WOULD BE LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH YOU ON ON FIGURING
THAT OKAY OUT YEAH WELL I WOULD
JUST BE INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE
OF FULLY FUNDING THE PROGRAM
BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IS SEND FOR
MY CITY WHO RECEIVED IT- AND I
YOU KNOW AS LEGISLATORS THERE'S
NOTHING BETTER THAN TO ACTUALLY
SEE THE MONEY AT WORK IN A
DRIVE BY AND SEE THE LOW INCOME
HOUSING. TO SEE THE GREENING TO
SEE THE BIKE LANES BEING PUT IN
SO IN AND IF YOU EVER NEED A
CHAMPION OF THE PROGRAM YOU
JUST CALL ME I'LL BE THERE FOR
YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH WHO ARE
SOME OF YES THIS IS JUST THE
TOUR THANK YOU THANK YOU. THANK
YOU MA'AM CHAIRED OF. I'VE I
WANT TO BE VERY RESPECT BUT I
MAY HAVE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT
PROTEIN LISTENING ALL DAY IN
TRYING TO GATHER MY THOUGHTS
AND I HOPE THIS COMES OUT
ACCURATE IN AND- PRODUCTIVE. NO
SO WE'VE HAD A LOT OF
CONVERSATION SENATOR STERN
TALKED ABOUT YOU KNOW WHAT IT
WOULD COST IF WE DO NOTHING IN
HOW WE FIGURE OUT WHAT THE
MINUTE WHAT THE AMOUNT OF
SAVINGS YOU GET. BY ACTING
EARLIER THAN LATER AND SO
SOMEBODY WHO CAME TO THE THIS.
LEGISLATIVE BODY NOT THE SENATE
BUT THIS SIMPLY IN TWO THOUSAND
AND TWELVE AND WAS TALKING
ABOUT FIRE BEFORE WE HAD FIRES.
AND KNEW THAT THE IMPACT OF
FIRES IS GREAT TO OUR STATE.
AND ALSO SOMEBODY WHO IS A
BUSINESS THAT HAS BEEN
REGULATED BY THE AIR RESOURCES
BOARD AND THE LIKES- AND WE
DON'T CALCULATE FIRE INTO OUR
CARBON EMISSION INTEL WE DID SB
NINE A ONE WHICH- AS ASKED AND
TO THE AIRPORT TO. PUT THAT
INTO OUR CALCULATIONS SO- IF
YOU'RE FORTUNATE TO LIVE IN MY
DISTRICT- WE HAVE SOME OF THE
GREATEST IN THE WORLD ACTUALLY
IF YOU LOOK AT THE CHART.
BECAUSE WE HAVE VERY LITTLE
INDUSTRY ON THE COASTLINE WERE
AT WE HAVE BEAUTIFUL REDWOODS.
THE DEAD CENTER OF FIRE
REPRESENTS AND- WE HAVE THE
BENEFIT OF. GOOD AIR EXCEPT FOR
ABOUT FOUR MONTHS OF THE YEAR
WHEN OUR FORSTER BURNING TO THE
GROUND. SO I'VE- PUSHED IN HAD
MANY MEMBERS OUT TO SEE THE
DISTRICT UNDERSTAND THAT WE
NEED TO DO SOMETHING WITH OUR
WATERSHED IT'S ARE ALSO ARE
WATERSHED OR WILDLIFE THIS
THERE IS WELL. AND SO YOU KNOW
WE WERE SOLD ON- YOU KNOW AB
THIRTY TWO AND WE MET OUR
GOALS- BUT THE SAME TIME WE
HAVEN'T REALLY. IN MY MIND.
DONE IT IN A IN A WAY THAT THE
PUBLIC IS ACTUALLY- HAS
CONFIDENCE AS WE PUT A LOT OF
MONEY AS AS A- GENERAL TALKED
ABOUT INTO. THE TRAIN WHICH IN
MY MIND WILL NEVER GET THE
BENEFIT FOR THE CARBON
REDUCTION. AND I THINK MOST OF
CALIFORNIANS WILL BELIEVE THAT
AS WELL AS POLITICALLY DONE.
AND I THINK WE LOSE A LOT OF
CREDIT IF WE DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE
IT AND SAY WE NEED TO CUT. THE
APRON STRINGS OFF AND LET THAT
GO AND THERE'S A LOT BETTER
PLACES WE CAN REDUCE CARBON.
WITH THOSE FUNDS- WE KNOW
THAT'S ABOUT- SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
FIVE AND TEN DOLLARS A TON TO
DO. TO DO FORESTRY WORK TO
SEQUESTER CARBON AND WE KNOW IF
WITHIN THE FORCE THERE ARE
TREES ACTUALLY GROW AND TO
QUESTION MORE CARBON. AT THE
SAME TIME FIRE SAVING OUR
COMMUNITIES. SO I THINK WE HAVE
SOME CREDIBILITY ISSUES WHEN IT
COMES TO GOING BACK TO THE-
TAXPAYERS AGAIN AND ASKING.
THEM TO FUND- BONDS AND IN THIS
CASE- WE TOOK LAST YEAR AGAIN
IT HAPPENED WE PUT MONEY I HAVE
I HAVE REALLY CAN'T FIGURE OUT
THE NEXUS BETWEEN THE WATER
LEGISLATION THAT CAME OUT OF
CAP AND TRADE. AND ACTUALLY
SEQUESTER CARBON SO. THEY WERE
RIDING ON A THIN LINE WE YOU
KNOW THE RUNNERS RUN THERE'S
MORE MONEY IN CALIFORNIA
THERE'S A- WE WERE. ATTACKED
THERE'S TONS OF MY- A LOT OF IT
BUT ARE WE REALLY SPEND IN A
WIDE I THINK THE QUESTION FOR
ME IS THAT YOU KNOW I WATCH MY
FORCE BURNED. AND I'M AND I'M
GETTING REGULATED DEATH ON MY
DIESEL PARTICULATE. THAT I THAT
WE USE TO PROVIDE FOOD FOR
CALIFORNIA AND FOR THE WORLD-
AND I JUST I JUST WROTE DOWN A-
LIST OF THINGS HERE THAT I HAVE
MY OWN BUSINESS AND MY
NEIGHBORS AND MOST TO
CALIFORNIANS. ARE BEING
REGULATED WITH WE HAVE CIGNA
WHICH IS. A GROUND WATER LAW
YOU'LL KNOW ABOUT WE HAVE IRON
W. PEAS IN OUR AREA WHERE WE'RE
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. SURFACE
WATER. WE HAVE GRAPPLED JUST
GRAZING WE HAVE THE A. R. B.
AND WE HAVE. WERE BEING TAXED
AT A HIGHER LEVEL OF AND I WILL
TAKE MY FAMILY'S BEEN HERE FOR
A LONG TIME AND I'M A GOOD
FARMER. BUT THE LONG THE LONGER
I STAY HERE THE AT THE WAR
CRAZY I THINK AND I THINK I
SHOULD SO YOU'RE YOU'RE GOING
TO REDUCE CARBON WHEN THERE'S-
NOBODY LEFT HERE. YOU CAN'T
AFFORD TO LIVE IN CALIFORNIA'S
BECAUSE THE POLICY COME OUT
HERE AND I DON'T THINK WE HAVE-
I THINK SENATOR PAN HIT THE
NAIL ON THE HEAD WHEN HE SAID.
YOU KNOW I'D LIKE TO HAVE A
LIST. OF ALL THE MONEY WE'VE
COLLECTED AND SPENT AND WHAT
ARE REALLY REDUCTION OR THIS IS
THIS IS NOT JUST A CALIFORNIA
PROBLEM. THIS IS A WORLD
PROBLEM. IF FOR CLIMATE IS
REALLY WHAT WE SAY IT IS AND
WE'RE DRIVE AND GOOD.
BUSINESSES THAT ARE GOOD AT THE
SAVING EMISSIONS OUT OF OUR
STATE AND OUT OF OUR COUNTRY
QUITE FRANKLY INCLUDING MORE IN
OTHER PLACES SO. I WOULD REALLY
LIKE TO HAVE- THAT WHAT WAS
SENATOR PANNED OUT FOR I THINK
THAT IS A BIT BEFORE WE CAN GO
BACK TO THE TO THE VOTERS AGAIN
AND ASK THEM FOR MORE MONEY.
THEN I WILL SIT- SURE LAST
COMMENT IS THAT. THIS ECONOMY
IS NOT GOING TO STAY THIS WAY
FOREVER. WHAT GOES UP WILL COME
DOWN. AND WE WILL TAKE A SLIGHT
HICCUP AND WE'LL ALL BE
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE ACTIONS
THAT WERE TAKEN TODAY WHEN
NOBODY'S PAYING ATTENTION. AND
THEY'LL BE PAYING ATTENTION A
LOT ABOUT HOW WE'RE SPENDING
OUR MONEY I DON'T THINK WE CAN
STAND BEHIND. TRY TO SHARE THAT
I RESPECT ALL OF YOU I KNOW YOU
COME TO MY OFFICE IS IN THE BIZ
WITH ME I APPRECIATE THAT. BUT
I THINK THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A
REALITY CHECK HEARING OKAY WAIT
WAIT WHAT WE DO LET'S EXPLAIN
TO THE PEOPLE. RIGHT NOW. THAT
IS IN DEBT AND AS HER IS SHE
GONNA BE ABLE TO LIVE IN
CALIFORNIA'S MY QUESTION ARE WE
GONNA BE SOMEWHERE ELSE AND IF
WE CAN'T DO IT SUSTAINABLY AND
LEAD THE WORLD AND KEEP OUR
JOBS HERE WE'RE NOT WOMEN WERE
SHOVING HIM OFF TO SOMEWHERE
ELSE AND WE'RE JUST IT'S A IT'S
AN EMOTIONAL VOTE THAT IT WE DO
IT FEELS GOOD BUT IT'S REALLY
NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEMS I JUST
SHARE THAT WITH YOU. I DON'T
WANT THIS TO BE TAKEN IN A WAY
THAT I AM BEING DISRESPECTFUL
OR BASHING BUT I JUST THINK WE
NEED A REALITY CHECK ON AND I
HAVE SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH
WHERE WE SPENT THE MONEY AND WE
WOULD SOON BE HARD TO STAND
BEHIND THAT ONE WEEK WE GO
THROUGH A DOWNTURN IN THE
ECONOMY SO AT THANK YOU FOR
COMING TODAY I APPRECIATE THAT
AND THANK YOU FOR THE DIALOGUE
THAT WE'VE HAD HERE TODAY AS
WELL. THANK YOU CENTER
DOLLYWOOD ANYONE LIKE TO OF SPA.
ABOUT SHOULDN'T BUT MAYBE I.
CAN SHOW I I'LL JUST OBSERVER
MEAN I FEEL VERY OF THE QUAN
INK IN INVESTMENT THAT THE
STATE IN THIS GOVERNOR ARE
MAKING PROTECTING RURAL
COMMUNITIES FROM WILDFIRE WE'RE
GONNA SPEND A BILLION DOLLARS
OF G. G. R. RAF CONDUCTING
COMMUNITY FIREBREAKS AND DOING
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT IN THE
FOREST A FIRST OF ITS KIND A
PILOT PROJECT ON HOME HARDENING
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDITIONAL
INVESTMENTS HERE WE SPEND- G.
JEREH FUNDING FUNDING- RURAL
FIRE PROTECTION FOR OUR
COMMUNITY IS RATHER INCREASE.
RATHER THAN A FEET ON THE
UNITIES I ACTUALLY PROP BUT
THOSE MEN ARMED I WANT TO TAKE
AWAY FOR THE POINTS THE YOU MAY
BE SEATED DIFFERENT PERSON BUT
I THINK WHAT YOU CAN COUNT ON
IT IS OUR TO CONTINUE. TO
INVEST IN PROTEST THOSE WERE
UNITIES IN ALL REDUCE THIS
THREAT OF CASH WILDFIRE. ONE
QUICK COMMENT. YOUR YOUR RIGHT
ON THAT WHEN WE OF THE SITE
FAILED TO MENTION IS THAT WE
HAVE A PARTNER WHICH IS NOT A
TABLE AND THAT'S THE FORCE TO
BLM AND YOU KNOW WE HAVE LOTS
OF CONVERSATIONS WHAT
PRESIDENT'S DOING AND THAT AND
AT THE END OF THE THEY'RE A BIG
PART OF OUR HARD WATERSHED ARE
SKY SEEK. WERE AND CAL I DID A
BILL HERE THEY GOT HELD A IN
APPROACH TO ASK THE I ASKED
FISH WERE TO QUANTIFY HOW MUCH
HABITAT AND HOW WHILE IS BE
IMPACT BY CASH FIRE NOW BECAUSE
OF A POLICIES I THINK WE'VE A
GOOD JOB AT THIS LEVEL BUT I
WANT THAT. SO THAT WE THEN SHOW
TO THE FED GOVERNMENT WHO NOT
WHAT WE'RE ON THEIR LINE AND
GET THEM TO SO THE WE CAN HAVE
THEM PART OF THE. HE DID.
BEFORE WE CAN. SAY THAT I. RUN
THE BILL IN THE YEAR. AND I'M
WE WILL GET THROUGH I KNOW THAT.
THEIR STERN WAS IN. IN IS. BUT
WITH THE IT THAT'S A TOOL WE
NEED TO GO. TO THE FAIR AND SAY
HEY. YOU KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD BE
PUT IN. ON OF OUR- THEY HAVE
ANY IT'S 50% OF THE OF THE-
FORCE TO THE HEAD ARE THERE.
AND NOT MAN. ALL INTO YOUR-
ABOUT. CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER
IN THOSE. WE HAVE TO HAVE TO
YEARS TO. CON WILL NOW. HAVE
THAT INFRASTRUCTURE PUT IN IT
WILL ALL BE. PAYING THE BILL

KIND OF QUESTION INQUIRE EIGHT
INFORMATIVE SINCE YOU HAD TO
SIT THROUGH IT SO I APOLOGIZE
FOR BEING SUCH AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF TIME BUT- EXCELLENT
EXCELLENT I LEADER THAT AN
INQUISITIVE GROUP OF
LEGISLATORS TO SERVE IN THE
BUDGET COMMITTEE. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH COLLEAGUES THAT WERE
WELCOMING DANNY COLLINS WORD
LECTURE AT STANFORD LAW SCHOOL
IN BRUCE RIORDAN. PROGRAM
DIRECTOR WITH THE CLIMATE
READING THIS INSTITUTE AT UC
BERKELEY. HOLE BE SPEAKING
FIRST. EXCELLENT WELCOME AND
THANK YOU GOOD EVENING MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE- MY NAME STANDING
CALLING WORD I'M ALSO JUST
MENTION THE SENATE'S
REPRESENTATIVE ON THE CAP AND
TRADE ADVISORY BODY THAT WAS
CREATED. I WON'T BE SPEAKING ON
BEHALF OF THE COMMITTEE TODAY
BUT JUST ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AS
AN INDEPENDENT RESEARCHER- LET
ME. I'LL JUST CUT STRAIGHT TO
THE CHASE AND BE SHORT BECAUSE
WE'VE ALL HAD A LONG DAY AND I
THOUGHT SOME VERY PRODUCTIVE
DISCUSSIONS. I WANT TO
EMPHASIZE IN MY DISCUSSION HERE
JUST TO I THINK SOMEWHAT
CONFLICTING DIRECTIONS THAT I
HEARD FROM MEMBERS AND I THINK
ARE VERY IMPORTANT REFLECT ON.
ONE IS THAT FOR THE SCALE OF
THE CLIMATE PROBLEM WE ARE
DEALING WITH BOTH IN TERMS OF
THE EMISSION REDUCTIONS WE NEED
TO COMPLY WITH STATE LAW. AS
WELL AS THE INVESTMENTS AND
CHANGES WE NEED TO PREPARE FOR
A CHANGING CLIMATE THAT IS
COMING ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. THE
LEVEL OF INVESTMENTS WERE
MAKING SIMPLY AREN'T TO SCALE
AND IT IS NOT A CRITICISM OF
WHERE WE ARE SO MUCH AS A
STATEMENT OF SIZE PROBLEM. AT I
THINK FEELING THAT IS GOING FAR
GREATER LEVEL THE PUBLIC TRUST.
AT THIS TIME I'M GONNA RAISE
SOME IS TODAY. SOME OF THE CAN
IT'S ABOUT HOW MAY. DECISIONS
PROCESS PLEASED WHICH- ARE HIS
PRICKLY THE DATE. SELECT THE-
BEST. EN THE CURRENT. IS
PROPOSING. FORWARD I AND I.
BOTH COME. INTO BUT I THAT
REFER. IS THAT WHAT. YOU MEAN.
TO NAVIGATE IN THE YEARS AHEAD.
SO LET LET ME MAYBE STE. WITH
THE- OF IS SOMETHING THAT THAT
I. REALLY TO. ME ALLOW OF THE
DISK. LOW LOT OF THE DAY.
AROUND THE CLIMB PROPOSAL AND
IS. THIS IS STRICTLY AN OLD
PROBLEM. AND THOSE WERE NOT
REALLY DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN
CLIMATE MITIGATION AND CLIMATE
IMPACTS. CLIMATE MITIGATION IS
THE CHALLENGE OF REDUCE
EMISSIONS. AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
AND ADAPTATIONS ABOUT
RESPONDING TO THE CHANGING
CLIMB. IN ADDITION TO THESE TWO
CATEGORIES WE ALSO HAVE ALL
SORTS OF LOCAL BENEFITS WE'VE
TALKED ABOUT LIKE. INVESTMENTS
IN A LOCAL COMMUNITY CLEANING
UP THE AIR QUALITY IN A
COMMUNITIES ARE ALL IN. THE
DESIRABLE AND WONDERFUL THINGS
WERE MIXING ALL THREE OF THEM
TOGETHER. I THINK THAT'S MAKE
VERY VOCAL TO HAVE A- LIST.
THEY DO IT THEM WELL AND- NOW.
THE END. THE STATE HAS. BEEN
WITH. TO MAKE WILL ADDRESS. MY
AND- DISK YOU. AND OUT. UP FOR
ME. JUST THIS IS THE SORT OF
PERSON. THESE CAT. WE ARE. IN
MAY. I CRAZY AND- VERY VERY
DIFFICULT AUGUST. I'M THIS ONE
IS. THE ONLY REPORT MISSION. IN
THE WAY IT IS. ONCE IN ANY
CONTENT TO THE STATE. IS NOT AS
THE NEEDS BE ARE THERE'S A LOT
OF IN. THE KIDS PRODUCE IN
LONGER. BUT I DON'T THINK THE
CᄇA OF MUCH OF IT IS PRETTY.
USEFUL FOR ME REALLY CLEAR I.
WE SEE A LOT OF CONFLATION OF
THESE THREE DIFFERENT
CATEGORIES IN THE WAY THE
SPENDING IS DONE IN THE
REPORTING SORT OF REFLECTS.
THAT MIXING UP OF IDEAS- TO
GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE I MEAN
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A NUMBER OF
PROGRAMS I WANT TO SINGLE OUT
JUST A COUPLE ITEMS NOT TO. THE
SIZE OF IN FACT THERE'S THINGS
THAT I PERSONALLY BELIEVE ARE
VERY WORTHWHILE. OR NOT
ACTUALLY FUNDS SO FOR EXAMPLE
IF TALK ABOUT THE A. B. SIX ON
SEVEN INVESTMENTS AND LOCAL
ERROR THREE. WHICH AGAIN IN MY
PERSONAL CAPACITY AS THEY ARE
ABSOLUTELY. AND MEAN. WAY THIS
DRINKING WATER FOR OF MASTER
BUDGET A- I THINK. PERSON
ESSENTIAL HOWEVER THEY HAVE ON
NO REALLY. TO CLIMB AND ENGAGE.
AND YET THEY COME OUT OF THE
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION FUND
FUNDED BY THE QUE TRADE FOR
WITH. IS SUPPOSED TO BE.
DELIVERING STANDS FOR. WE
PRODUCT. ATION I BOUNCE OF A
AND B. TO GET. THE RIGHT NOW
THEY IS NO COMP DISCUSSION OF
THAT IT'S BASS OUT HAWK AND
OVER TIME THE POOL OF MONEY
THAT WAS ORIGINALLY DEDICATED
FOR SPENDING ON CLIMATE
MEDICATION IS BEING SLOWLY
DRIFTED AWAY TOWARDS OTHER
TOTALLY DESIRABLE POLICY
FUNCTIONS BUT ONCE THAT ARE
DISTINCT REQUIRE DIFFERENT
SORTS OF ANALYSIS OVERSIGHT AND
MONITORING TO AFFECT WELL. I
AND I THINK THAT'S A
FUNDAMENTAL CHALLENGE THAT WILL
NEED TO CONSIDER- AS A
COMMUNITY OF WE'RE GOING TO
DEAL WITH THE SCALE OF THIS
PROBLEM- THE SECOND FIGURE MY
HAND OUT MAKES A VERY SIMPLE-
OR I HOPE THE SYMBOL OF THE
POINTS THAT CAN MAKE AND I
THINK WHEN YOU COMPARE.
DIFFERENT OF POLICY WE HAVE A
CLIMATE MITIGATION FRONT CAP
AND TRADE HAS BEEN PRICE
BETWEEN TWELVE AND SEVENTEEN
DOLLARS A TON OF CARBON- THE
RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARD AS
BEST IT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF
FIFTY SIXTY SEVENTY THE LOW
CARBON FUEL STANDARD CAN BE AS
HIGH AS TWO HUNDRED UP TO TIME.
COPING PLAN WHICH DETERMINES
HOW IN A TO THIRTY AND A AS YOU
HEARD EARLIER HEY CAP PROGRAM
DO THAT SIX I'M COULD BE TO TWO
HUNDRED TONS. WHEN LOOK AT THE
COST OF. SPENT CATION FOR OUR
YOU'RE A FUND THE NUMBERS FOR
THE RESOURCES BORDER IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE MID SO BUT
THEY'VE DISK ALL OF THE FUNDS
NOT THE TEACHER F. THAT GO TO
THE PROM OF BY THE OF SO
COMPANY BENEFITS OF THESE
PROJECTS BUT ONLY A SLIVER OF
THE COSTS WHEN YOU CORRECT FOR
THAT WERE CLOSER TO SOMETHING
IN THE MAIL THREE HUNDRED AND
THE POINT HERE IS THE WORST
SINGLE. SUGGEST THAT ALL POWER
HAVE THIS IM ACOSTA THE SCALE
OF WHAT WE'RE SPENDING ON BOTH
REFLECTS THINGS THAT ARE NOT
MEDICATION WE'RE MIXING AND
CLIMATE IMPACT LOCAL BENEFITS
WHICH DISTORTS THE- METRIC. AND
WE ARE FRANKLY. HAVE A HIGH
ENOUGH CARBON PROPS RELATIVE TO
THE SPENDING. THAT WE ARE
PUTTING FORWARD IF WE BELIEVE
THAT SPENDING IS BEING DONE
WELL. THE LAST THING I WANT TO
SAY IS ABOUT SORT OF THE VOLUME
OF MONEY THAT'S AVAILABLE HERE-
AND I THINK PARTICULARLY ON THE
GF SIDE THERE'S VERY CLEAR
THINGS TO SAY HERE. IF FOLKS
BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE MORE
SPENDING. FROM THE TEACHER OF
PROGRAM THERE'S BASICALLY TWO
WAYS TO THINK ABOUT THIS ONE IS
THAT THE CONTINUES
APPROPRIATIONS COUNT FOR ABOUT
60% OF THAT BUDGET AS YOU'VE
HEARD FROM EARLIER. THOSE
HAVEN'T BEEN RIPPED UP REVISED
IN A LONG TIME THE INCLUDE
THINGS LIKE THE HIGH SPEED RAIL
PROGRAM WHICH- SUGGESTS
WHATEVER YOU MAKE OF IT. IS NOT
THE NUMBER ONE CLIMATE
MEDICATION PRIORITY IN THE
STATE. THE SECOND THING TO SAY
ABOUT IT IS THAT THE NUMBER THE
NUMBER OF MONIES COMING INTO
THIS FUND THE VOLUME OF REVENUE
COMING IN EVERY YEAR. IS
ARTIFICIALLY LOW BECAUSE THE
PROGRAM THE CAP AND TRADE
PROGRAM HAS NOT BEEN DESIGNED
IN MY OPINION. TO REPORT TWENTY
THIRD TARGET. THE CARBON PRICES
IN THE MARKET THAT RESULTS ARE
ARTIFICIALLY LOW RELATIVE TO
WHAT THE SCOPE AND PLAN CALLS.
FOR ANY VERY STEM THERE'S
NUMBER OF. THAT WAY YOU COULD
THINK ABOUT REFORM THE PROGRAM
TO. THIS IN FACT I THINK THEY
ARE SO. FOR HAS THE LEGAL
AUTHORITY TO DO THIS THEY'VE
SIMPLY CHOSEN NOT TO SO FAR. SO
IF THE VOLUME OF MONEY IS A
CONSIDERATION. YOU HAVE WE'RE
BASICALLY TALKING EVERY YEAR
ABOUT AN ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS
OF ABOUT 40% OF THAT FUND. NOT
A HUNDRED PERCENT. YOU COULD
DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT
THAT. YOU COULD ALSO DECIDE. TO
ASK FOR MORE MONEY. FROM THE
CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM BY ASKING
FOR REFORMS THAT PROGRAM THAT
WOULD MAKE IT MORE EFFECTIVE IN
REDUCING EMISSIONS GIVEN THE
CENTRAL ROLE IT PLAYS IN THE
STATE'S OFFICIAL CLIMATE
STRATEGY FOR TWENTY THIRTY. AND
ON TOP OF ALL THIS AGAIN I
WOULD SUGGEST YOU. THE NUMBER
ONE THING THE LEGISLATURE COULD
DO. IS PUSH FOR MORE
INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS AND
OVERSIGHT OF THE WAY THAT MONEY
IS SPENT. TO HAVE A PRODUCTIVE
IN COLLABORATIVE DISCUSSION ON
WHAT THE STATE PRIORITIES ARE.
AND THEN TO MAKE SURE THOSE ARE
IMPLEMENTED- OUR EYES AS WE GO
FORWARD. I JUST WANT TO ADD
JUST AS A FINAL NOTE I THINK.
EVERYONE I'VE HEARD SPEAKING
TODAY HAS BEEN OPERATE FROM A
PLACE OF VERY GOOD FAITH. AND I
JUST WANNA MAKE MY COMMENTS AS
A DIRECTOR TRIED. THEM AND THAT
SEEMS. BECAUSE I THINK
HAPPENING OF. BASE CONVERSATION
OF. THIS CAN TO BE CRITICAL TO.
PROPEL GOALS LEGISLATURE. AND
THE MINISTRY. SO TOGETHER THANK
YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THE YOU VERY
MUCH. BUT AFTERNOON- GOOD
EVENING- PERHAPS AT LEAST I
KNOW I LEARNED TODAY I'M A DAY
OLDER AT LEAST A DAY OLDER THAN
YOU THOUGHT THANK YOU MISTER
ACCOUNTS KEY BY BRUCE WRITTEN
ON THE OF PROGRAM DIRECTOR FOR
THE CLIMATE READY MISS
INSTITUTED UC BERKELEY I'VE
WORKED FOR OVER TEN YEARS. IN
CALIFORNIA ON CLIMATE
ADAPTATION WORKING FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS. REGIONAL AGENCIES
STATE AGENCIES AND NOW THE
UNIVERSITY SO I'VE BEEN ASKED
TO. PROVIDE SOME BRIEF KIND OF
HIGH LEVEL COMMENTS ABOUT THE
ADAPTATION PART OF THE CLIMATE
BUDGET. THE OVERALL- IT'S QUITE
HEARTENING. TO FINALLY SEE-
SACRAMENTO PROPOSING THIS
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE SUPPORT
AND FUNDING- FOR THE ADAPTATION
AND CLIMATE WORK- THAT WE'RE
DOING- ALL OVER THE STATE. YOUR
LAST YEAR A SERIES OF ACADEMIC
EXPERTS AT MERCED AND BERKELEY
AND RIVERSIDE AND SCRIPTS AND
ALL CREATED NINE REGIONAL
REPORTS ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING
IN EACH OF YOUR DISTRICTS IN
TERMS OF. THE CLIMATE IMPACTS
THAT WERE SEEN AND THEY'RE A
LITTLE WONKY. BUT I WOULD
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM AS AS
BRINGING THE LOCAL VERSION OF
WHY WE NEED A CLIMATE BUDGET
FOR ADAPTATION- TO YOU BECAUSE
THEY GO INTO QUITE A BIT OF ON.
SCIENCE DETAIL THEY WERE DONE
BY ACADEMICS AND LOCAL GROUPS
TOGETHER- AND AGAIN- HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED TO GET THAT LOCAL
STORY FOR WHY WE NEED. MORE ON
CLIMATE ADAPTATION. A COUPLE OF
BUDGET SPECIFICS THOSE OF US IN
THE MIDDLE THE ADAPTATION
WORKER PLEASED TO SEE. THE
BUDGETS EMPHASIS ON VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES AND CLIMATE
JUSTICE- WE ARE ACTUALLY
PLEASED TO SEE.THE BEGINNING
OF INTEGRATING GHG REDUCTION
AND ADAPTATION WE THINK IT'S A
BETTER MESSAGE FOR THE PUBLIC
OF THE PUBLIC DOESN'T CARE WHAT
WHAT YOU'RE CALLING THAT THEY
SEE IT AS AS CLIMATE WORK. AND
WE APPLAUD THE ATTEMPTS AT.
INNOVATIVE FINANCING LIKE FOR
THE CLIMATE CATALYST FUN WE'RE
GONNA NEED PRIVATE SECTOR
FUNDING IN A BIG WAY A THERE'S
pFUN FOR ADAPTATION ALONE. SO
OVERALL WE WOULD SAY. THERE'S
LOTS TO LIKE IN THE CLIMATE
BUDGET FOR ADAPTATION- PROBABLY
THREE BIG STEPS AHEAD. BUT LET
ME BRIEFLY GO THROUGH TWO MAJOR
ISSUES THAT WE HAVE WITH THE
BUDGET AS IT'S CURRENTLY- FORMS
AND THINGS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
BE WORKING ON HOPEFULLY WOULD
CONSIDER OVER THE NEXT TWO
MONTHS. THE FIRST IS IF WE'RE
GONNA SPEND THIS KIND OF MONEY
ON ADAPTATION AND WE BELIEVE
THAT WE DEFINITELY NEED TO. WE
NEED A MUCH BETTER STRUCTURE TO
MANAGE THE WORK IN CALIFORNIA.
AND THE FIRST PART OF THAT
MAYBE THREE PARTS THE FIRST
PART OF THAT IS GOALS. WE HAVE
HAD CLEAR GOALS ON THE GHG SIDE
ON THE ADMISSION SIDE FOR
FIFTEEN YEARS. WE DIDN'T JUST
HOPE THAT PEOPLE WOULD REDUCE
EMISSIONS IN CALIFORNIA WE SET
GOALS FOR TWENTY TWENTY AND NOW
WE'VE DONE THE SAME FOR TWENTY
THIRTY. WE NEED TO SET CLEAR
ADAPTATION GOALS FOR THE STATE
SO WE'RE NOT JUST DOING A BUNCH
OF THINGS OR SPENDING MONEY IN
VARIOUS PLACES WERE ACTUALLY
WORKING TOWARDS A SET OF GOALS.
ADAPTATION WE RECOGNIZE AS MUCH
HARDER TO QUANTIFY- WE GET THAT
BEEN THROUGH THAT FOR YEARS BUT
IT'S NOT BRAIN SURGERY WE NEED
TO FIGURE THIS OUT. WHERE DO WE
WANT TO BE IN FIVE YEARS
WITHOUT UP TATIAN THE STATE
WHAT IS SUCCESS LOOK LIKE FOR
OUR STATE IF WE REALLY DO THIS
WELL WHAT'S IT GOING TO LOOK
LIKE FOR OUR FOR OUR CITIZENS
AND OUR OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IN
ALL AND HOW WE MEASURE
PROGRESS. AND KNOW THAT WE'VE
BEEN SPENDING MONEY WELL WE
HAVE TO SET GOALS AND HAVE A
WAY TO GET THERE THERE'S SOME
IN THE BUDGET ABOUT METRICS BUT
WE NEED TO ELEVATE THAT SO IT'S
CLEAR JUST LIKE IT'S CLEAR ON
THE AGENCY. WHERE WE'RE TRYING
TO GO AND BUY WHEN. PART MAKES.
YOU SPEND WISELY END OF. WE
WOULD SUGGEST. A FORMAL REGION
LOCAL AND STATE. OUR
PARTNERSHIP A PROGRAM ON
ADAPTATION IS NOT ENOUGH TO
HAVE ADVISORY COMMITTEES WE'RE
WORKING IN PARALLEL THE
UNIVERSITY HE- LOCALS REGIONS
AND THE STATE ARE WE RUN INTO
EACH OTHER SOME ON ADAPTATION
BUT MOSTLY WERE WORKING IN
PARALLEL AND THAT'S GOT TO
CHANGE IF WE'RE REALLY GOING TO
GET IT THIS RATHER COMPLEX IN
BIG PROBLEM WE NEED COMMON
GOALS THAT ARE VERY DEFINED
PROGRAM IS WORKING TOWARDS AND
THAT WE ARE ALL PIECES OF THAT
PROGRAM NOT OF THE KIND OF
ISOLATED- SATELLITES HERE.
THIRD IS WHO DO WE HOLD
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS BIG AND
GROWING ARE KIND OF SPRAWLING
ADAPTATION ARENA IT'S GREAT TO
SEE THE AGENCIES WORKING
TOGETHER BETTER THIS NOW WE SEE
THAT WE SEE THAT IN THE BUDGET.
BUT THE BUDGET SHOWS- THE
COORDINATION I THINK CAN ONLY
GO SO FAR. AND WE WOULD ASK YOU
TO CONSIDER YOU AND YOUR
COLLEAGUES THAT ONE AGENCY
BECOME THE LEAD FOR ADAPTATION
IN THE STATE WE THINK THAT'S
WORTH LOOKING AT THE PROS AND
CONS OF THAT KIND OF SET UP.
ALL OF THIS WOULD WOULD REALLY
GO A LONG WAYS WITH THE
STRUCTURE. TOWARDS WE THINK
ELEVATING CALIFORNIA FROM BEING
ONE OF THE BEST STATES IN TERMS
OF ADAPTATION TO ACTUALLY BEING
WORLD CLASS- IN THE WORLD FOR
THIS KIND OF WORK DO YOU HAVE A
PARTICULAR IDEA SUGGESTION
WHICH AGENCY A NEW AGENCY OR
ONE OF THE- AFOREMENTIONED. YOU
KNOW. HOW THAT. OF ALL RIGHT
VERY LIKE THE MALL AT THIS
POINT AND I WOULD JUST THROW
THAT ON THE TABLE AND IT MAKES
IT MAY BE BEST TO HAVE A LEAD
AGENCY OR NOT MAYBE ONE AGENCY
BUT MAYBE AT LEAST A LEAD IT
WOULD BE EASIER FOR THOSE OF
US. AT THE REGIONAL AND LOCAL
LEVEL CONTROL MORE CLEARLY
WHERE THE BUCK STOPS IN WHO WE
HAVE TO WORK WITH TO GET THINGS
DONE AND TO MAKE THIS. PROGRAM
AGAIN A DEFINED PROGRAM- THE
SECOND THING I WOULD OF.
ADVOCATE OF OUR TWO BIG ISSUES
WOULD BE IT WOULD BE CLIMATE
SMART TO PUSH MORE OF THE
CLIMATE BUDGET DOWN TO THE
LOCAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL THAT'S
WHERE THE PLANNING AND THE
PROJECTS ARE EVENTUALLY GOING
TO HAVE TO HAPPEN ON SEA LEVEL
RISE ON HE ON DROUGHT- ON WILD
FIRE. THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE
HAPPENING- ALREADY- I'VE BEEN
WORKING WITH- P. R. AND S. G.
C. AND RESOURCES FOR YEARS I
THINK THE STAFF POSITIONS
THEY'VE OUTLINED IN THE B. C.
PEAS ARE ARE OVERDUE AND I
THINK THEY'RE- THEY'RE CLIMATE
SMART. THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO
DO THIS WORK ON A SHOESTRING
AND IT'S THIS IS STARTING THIS
BUDGET WOULD START TO IMPROVE
THAT. BUT AT THE SAME TIME THE
CITIES AND THE COUNTIES IN YOUR
DISTRICTS THE WATER AGENCIES
NEAR DISTRICTS AND OTHER
SPECIAL AGENCIES HAVE TO DO A
LOT OF VERY BASIC PLANNING
AROUND CLIMATE IMPACTS. AROUND
SEA LEVEL RISE ASSESSMENTS HE'D
EMERGENCY PLANS FIRE ROUTE
REGION EDUCATION ROUGHT PLANTS
ALL OF THAT AND THEY'RE UNDER
RESOURCE YOUR LOCAL CITIES AND
COUNTIES AND SPECIAL DISTRICTS.
VERY MUCH UNDER RESOURCE AT
THIS POINT OFTEN WHAT WE FIND
AT CITIES AND COUNTIES IS AN
EXISTING PLANNING STAFF JUST
BEEN HANDED CLIMATE AS
ADDITIONAL DUTY TO ADD ON TO
WHAT'S USUALLY A FULL PLAN IN
LATE- ANDMANY THIS IS AN
EQUITY ISSUE MANY CITIES CAN
EVEN START ON THIS WORK BECAUSE
THEY DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES.
TO GET OUT AND MANY. CAN'T
START ON THE WORK RIGHT NOW THE
CLIMATE BUDGET HAS TWENTY FIVE
BILLION FOR COMMUNITY
RESILIENCE. I WOULD HOPE YOU
WOULD LOOK AT THAT. AND SEE IF
WE COULD HELP THAT FIGURE AND
GET MORE DOLLARS TO THE LOCAL
AGENCIES AND THOSE WHO ARE
STARTING TO DO THE PLANNING I'M
NOT GOING TO HAVE TO BE A BIG
PART OF PLANNING. THE THAT'S
HER TO I WOULD JUST THROW OUT A
COUPLE THREE EQUAL THINGS.
BRIEF BLUNT. I'M A LITTLE
SHOCKED THAT HEALTH ISN'T MORE
EXPLICIT IN THE BUDGET ITSELF
AND THIS IS COME UP A COUPLE OF
TIMES IN VARIOUS WAYS HERE BUT
IS I READ THROUGH FOURTEEN OR
FIFTEEN AGENCIES BEING INVOLVED
IN THE CAP AND TRADE FUNDING
AND ALL I DON'T SEE YOUR
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH I DON'T SEE COUNTY
HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND THEY ARE
SO INVOLVED WITH WILD FIRES
THERE'S ONE FAULT AND HEALTH-
HEAT OBVIOUSLY AND HEALTH-
DROUGHT AND HEALTH SEALEVEL
RISE EVEN THAT HEALTH HEALTH IS
OF CENTRAL PART IS A NUMBER
PEOPLE OF THE DAY. AND WOULD
LIKE TO SEE HEALTH BECOME A
MORE EXPLICIT AT LEAST PART OF
THE BUDGET HERE IT'S A MESSAGE
FRANKLY THE PLAYS WELL WITH THE
PUBLIC TO BECAUSE THE PUBLIC
GETS HEALTH AND GETS WHY WERE
PROTECTING HEALTH. SECOND
THING- OF THE THREE QUICK ONES
HERE AT THE END IS THAT READ.
RESEARCH AND TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE LET'S FLIP THE TITLE
AND THIS ALSO GOT MENTIONED
EARLIER- BY THE LA- WHEN I
THINK BY THE ADMINISTRATION IT
SHOULD BE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
AND RESEARCH WE NEED YES MORE
RESEARCH DONE. AND WE HAVE GOOD
RESEARCHERS AT THE UNIVERSITIES
IN VARIOUS PLACES BUT OUR LOCAL
PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THIS WORK
ON VARIOUS TOPICS TELL US MORE
THAN RESEARCH THEY NEED HELP.
UNDERSTANDING THE RESEARCH THE
NEED HELP TRANSLATING THE
RESEARCH THEY NEED HELP EVEN
FIGURED OUT WHICH RESEARCH IS
BEST FOR THEM TO USE. WE WANT
TO SEE THAT KIND OF PROGRAM
REALLY GROW SOME MORE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE AND THERE'S SOME OF
THIS IN THE BUDGET. TO GO WITH
THE RESEARCH AND MAKE THE
RESEARCH REALLY USEFUL SO THAT
THE RESEARCH DOESN'T BECOME A
REPORT THAT SITS ON THE SHELF
THAT'S NOT THE END PRODUCT OF
WHAT WE NEED HERE THE END
PRODUCT IS MAKING BETTER
DECISIONS IN YOUR READ AND SEND
IN YOUR DISTRICT. AND FINALLY.
THE BUDGET SEPARATES NEAR TERM
AND LONG TERM CLIMATE IMPACTS
IT IT PUTS DROUGHT IN WATER AND
FLOOD AND FIRE IN NEAR TERM AND
PUTS A FOR NOW SEA LEVEL RISE
IN HEAT IN. IN LONGER TERM I
GET I GET IT THAT YOU HAVE TO
PRIORITIZE WITHIN A BUDGET. BUT
IT'S PRETTY ARBITRARY. AND THE
AND THE WORRY HERE IS THAT THE
PLANNING FOR SEA LEVEL RISE IN
THE PLANNING FOR HEAT WAVES
WHICH FOR BIG REALLY COMING.
SOON IT BETTER HAPPEN NOW OR
WE'RE GOING TO GET CAUGHT AND
WE HAVE TO REACT WE GOT THE
WAKE UP CALL OBVIOUSLY ON FIRES
WE GOT THAT AND WE'RE
RESPONDING. I DON'T THINK WE
WANT TO WAIT AGAIN TALK ABOUT
HEALTH ON ON MAJOR HEAT WAVES
THIS SUMMER OR NEXT SUMMER
WHENEVER THEY COME- AND THEY'RE
COMING THAT'S FARMWORKERS
THAT'S CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
THAT SCHOOL KIDS PLAYING
OUTSIDE THAT'S MY IN LAWS. IN
THE CENTRAL VALLEY WHO WERE
STAYING INSIDE A LOT MORE THAN
THEY USED TO- THAT'S WHAT WE-
WE COULD. USE WE NEED TO.
SOMEHOW BRING THOSE TWO AND SEE
LEVEL RISE TO THE THEIR HUGE
DOLLARS AT STAKE HERE ALL ALONG
THE COAST- AND HE'D MORE IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY BRING THOSE BOTH
AND I WOULD NOT SEPARATE THEM
AS LONG TERM AND NEAR TERM. SO
YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY- IT'S-
PRETTY HAVE TO WORK BUDGET TO
MOVE ADAPTATION FORWARD AND WE
WOULD LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING
WITH YOU IN THE IN MONTHS TO
DEVELOP THE CLIMB. BUDGET
THANKS. MUCH FOR COME TODAY BUT
TO THE BIDDING TODAY'S HE- AND
TO US. SPECIFIC TANGIBLE. ON
KIND OF NEXT STEPS I WOULD
AGREE WITH YOUR LAST POINT THAT
AS POLICY MAKERS I THINK WE
HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO BOTH.
PLANNED PREDICT AND PREVENT IN
TERMS OF OUR FUNCTIONAL ROLES
POLICY MAKERS OF THANK YOU FOR
THAT. SENATOR WHY CAL SKI
FOLLOWED BY SENATOR BAIL ANSWER
TO SKINNER Y. CASKEY THE DOCTOR
CALLING WORD YOU'RE A MEMBER OF
THE- INDEPENDENT EMISSION
MARKET ADVISORY COMMITTEE THIS
IS THIS EXPERT ADVISORY
COMMITTEE. YOU GUYS ASKED THE
AIRPORT TO. ADOPT ANNUAL
METRICS. THE AIRBOARD HAS HAD
NOTHING THE REST OF THE WORLD
SEEMS TO BE DOING- REPORTING
ANNUALLY AND THE METRICS THAT
THEY'RE USING. WHAT'S UP. SO
THE CENTER A CAST HE'S
REFERRING TO THIS QUESTION HOW
MANY ALLOWANCES ARE IN THE CAP
AND TRADE PROGRAM IN A SORT OF
BEST PRACTICES THAT EVERY
SINGLE MAJOR CAP AND TRADE
PROGRAM IN THE WORLD USES
INCLUDING ONE RUN BY THE AIR
RESOURCES BOARD THAT THE LOW
CARBON FUEL STANDARD AS A
METRIC TO TRACK THE SORT OF
SUPPLY DEMAND BALANCE IN THE
MARKET TELL PEOPLE DIAGNOSE
WHAT'S GOING ON- IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN THE COMMITTEE I'M ON
RECOMMENDED. RESOURCES BOARD
ADOPT THE METRIC THEY TOOK NO
ACTION ON THAT I IN TWENTY
NINETEEN A REPORT WE RELEASED
LAST MONTH WE DEVELOPED A SET
OF METHODS TO SPECIFICALLY
IMPLEMENT THAT WITH EXISTING
PUBLIC DATA SO I CAN CALCULATE
WITH THE COMPUTER OBJECTIVELY
WHAT THAT ANSWER IS- I DON'T
HAVE AN ANSWER ON ON WHAT THE
BOARD'S POSITION ON THAT IS YOU
KNOW I THINK MY INTERPRETATION
OF THE SPEAKING PURELY FROM
MYSELF IS THAT. THE STATE OF
THE CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM IS
DRY TECHNICAL BORING AN
UNEQUIVOCAL THERE'S TOO MANY
ALLOWANCES AND IF YOU LOOK AT
THAT. YOU SEE IT. AND I HAVE A
REVIEWED PAPER THAT'S OUT IN A
SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL FROM A
COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO THAT.
IMPLEMENTS THE METHOD THE THAT
THE INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDED. IT EXCEEDS ALL THE
THRESHOLD. RESOURCES BOARD
ANALYZED IN RESPONSE TO STATURE
INSTRUCTION ON THIS QUESTION-
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS FOR
YEARS I'D I HAVE NOT HEARD A
SUBSTANTIVE RESPONSE TO THESE
ISSUES. AS TO WHAT THE BOARD'S
VIEW IS ABOUT. ADOPTING
REPORTING METRICS IS NOT FOR ME
TO ANSWER OTHER THAN TO SAY
AGAIN. THE COMMITTEE HAS
RECOMMENDED THIS NOW TWICE AND
IT'S SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE
COULD CONSIDER AND IT'S NOT
HARD TO DO. HE SEEMS AT THE
VERY LEAST WE HAVE TO ENSURE
SOME TRANSPARENCY OF WHAT'S
GOING ON. IF YOU WERE HAVING AN
OPTION RIGHT NOW. AND WE'RE-
WE'RE- TOLD THAT WE HAVE TO.
TIGHTEN OUR BELT BECAUSE WE'RE
NOT GONNA HAVE THE- THE PRICE-
HE INCOME ARGOSY BUT- AKTION.
REVENUE DISCO COM BUT WE SORT
OF SKIRT AROUND. THEIR IDEA OF
THE GOAL IS TO HAVE THOSE
FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES IN THE
POLLUTERS I MEAN IT'S GREAT TO
HAVE. CASH AND SPEND IT ON HIGH
SPEED RAIL OR NOT OR- ARE
WHATEVER BUT BUT WE'RE TRYING
TO. WE'RE TRYING TO CHANGE
BEHAVIOR IN THE POLLUTING- OUT
WORLD IN AT SIXTEEN DOLLARS FOR
SEVENTEEN DOLLARS METRIC TON.
NOTHING'S HAPPENING WE'RE NOT
CHANGING ANYTHING IN IN. THAT
YOU KNOW I BELIEVE THAT THE
AIRPORT HAS THE AUTHORITY RIGHT
NOW THE CHANGE THOSE. COULD NOT
GIVE OUT FREE ALLOWANCES AND AN
INCREASE THE PRICE OF THE FLOOR
MIGHT LONGER MY RIGHT. SO MY
VIEW IS A LAWYER'S YES THEY DO
HAVE THAT AUTHORITY THAT A
THIRTY WAS GIVEN TO THEM IN THE
TWENTY SEVENTEEN EXTENSION
BILL- BUT YOU KNOW I. I THINK
THIS QUESTION ABOUT WHAT THE
PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO DO AND
WHAT. TO MAKE A CALL ARE IS NOW
SETTLE. BECAUSE IT WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE AN EMISSIONS REDUCTION
PROGRAM IT'S ALSO A LARGE
REVENUE SOURCE- PART OF THE
DISCUSSION WE'VE HAD ABOUT A
SHRINKING TEACHER OF BUDGET IS
WE TALKED ABOUT. THIS EXTRA
MONEY THAT CAME IN LAST YEAR
THAT'S BECAUSE WE TO MARKET
CRISIS IN TWENTY SIXTEEN AND
TWENTY SEVENTEEN WHICH- HAS
BEEN RESOLVED AND EVERYTHING IS
GOOD. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAP
AND TRADE PROGRAMS AS THEIR
VOLATILE. THEY CAN BE
UNPREDICTABLE AND THE HONEST
TRUTH IS IF YOU WERE TO TIGHTEN
THIS PROGRAM UP TO DELIVER ON
OUR CLIMATE GOALS. IT MIGHT
RESULT IN CARBON PRICES THAT
ARE NOT POLITICALLY ACCEPTABLE.
INSTEAD OF HAVING A
CONVERSATION ON WHERE WE WANT
TO PROGRAM TO GO. AND WHAT WE
WANTED TO DO. MY PERSONALLY AND
I AGAIN I MEAN THIS WITH ALL
SINCERE RESPECT TO THE VERY
DIFFICULT CHALLENGES ALL OF US
WORK ON. WE ARE LOOKING THE
OTHER WAY. AN I THINK HAVING
SERIOUS CONVERSATION AROUND
WHAT THE PROGRAM DO WHEN WE YOU
WANT TO DO. AND THEN TRACKING
THOSE. IS OVERDUE. OUT WHETHER
THE PRIMARY GOAL IS
ENVIRONMENTAL OR BUDGETARY OR A
COMBINATION OF BOTH AGAIN THAT
IS A PUBLIC POLICY CHOICE AND
I'LL JUST SAY. OUR CONVERSATION
HAS DEVIATED SO FAR FROM THE
FAX IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT.
TO SORT OF ANSWER THESE KINDS
OF QUESTIONS. MIKE DROP.
PROFESSOR ARE REARED IN ON THE
HEAD. ELLIE CAME UP WITH A NICE
REPORT ON A SEA LEVEL RISE IT
SEEMS THAT THAT THAT MODELING
IN THE PLANNING PROCESS THAT
THE SUGGESTED COULD BE USE.
BEYOND SEA LEVEL RISE TO
EXTREME HEAT TO- WHILE
WILDFIRES BUT THEY THE PROPOSAL
WITH THE- FROM THE GOVERNOR
DOESN'T TAKE IN ALL THE-
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT I THINK IS
BUT IS PRINT WAS MADE YOU KNOW
FOR. FUNDING THOSE REGIONAL
COLLABORATIVE SAID HAVE SPRUNG
UP SOME OF THEM ARE UNDER
FUNDED AND WE HAVE A WE HAVE A
WAY TO GET THERE BUT BUT TO
GIVE THEM. SOME MONEY EACH YEAR
SO THAT THEY THEY CAN OPERATE
GIVE THEM MONEY SO THEY CAN
HELP OUT LOOK LOOK DIFFERENT
LOCALITIES THEY CAN'T DO THAT
PLANNING DOCUMENT BUT THEN ONCE
YOU HAVE THAT PLANNING DOCUMENT
HAPPY HE GIVE THEM SOME MONEY
IS. REGION CLEVER DECIDE OKAY
THIS IS THE INVESTMENT THAT WE
WANT TO MAKE WE WANT TO WE WANT
TO HELP OUT THIS CITY OR THIS.
GEN AT THAT MADE HIS DECISION
AND THEN. THE OTHER GUESSES
THAT MONITORING IT SO WHEN WE
LOOK AT SEA LEVEL RISE AND WE
SAY OKAY WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS
WETLAND WORK AND WE DO THE WHAT
LAND WORK WILL DO THAT. FOR US.
BUDGET THAT WE CAN BACK THE
STATE MOVING TARGET IS TARGET
YOU IT YOU DID THAT WHAT YOU
DID A WONDERFUL. BY WHAT ONE
RESTORATION IT'S ALL DONE I
MEAN IT'S INUNDATED WITH WATER
OR IT OR IT WORKED. BECAUSE WE
NEED. I BELIEVE WE NEED TO.
SHARE THAT INFORMATION. FOLKS
SO I GUESS MY QUESTION IS THIS.
DO YOU. ARM AGREE WITH THE
OBSERVATIONS THAT WERE MADE ON
THE ALLEY- REPORT ON SEA LEVEL
RISE BECAUSE THERE'S A LITTLE
BIT IN. THE LET'S CALL IT
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND
RESEARCH PROPOSAL THE ONLY
TWENTY FIVE MILLION RIGHT IN
THE- PROBABLY AT FIFTY MILLION.
BUT THE IS SO THAT'S THE FIRST
QUESTION AND THEN TO GET TO
YOUR YES IS THE ANSWER. I AGREE
IN THE TECH ASSISTANCE AS WE
SAID IS GONNA BE A BIGGER PART
OF THIS IT'S GOING TO PAY OFF
FOR THE STATE IT'S GOING TO PAY
OFF FOR THE LOCALS. IT'S GOING
TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WE'RE-
THERE'S A MEASURE DOUBLE A IN
THE BAY AREA- THAT WE- ALL
VOTED FOR- IS PROVIDING FIVE
HUNDRED MILLION OVER TWENTY
YEARS FOR WETLANDS RESTORATION
AND SEA LEVEL RISE WORK ALL
AROUND THE BAY. AND THOSE
PROJECTS HAVE TO RUN THROUGH A
VERY RUDE- YET A RIGID SET OF
CRITERIA TO GET APPROVED AND
THERE THERE'S A VERY RIGID KIND
OF MONITORING- PROCESS. WHAT WE
ARE TRYING TO DO WITH BAY CAN
WHICH IS OUR COLLABORATIVE IN
THE BAY AREA. IS SHARE- BEST
PRACTICES AND SHARE THAT
KNOWLEDGE AND SHARE THAT SO
THAT OTHER GROUPS THAT ARE TO
WORKING ON HEAT- OTHER WORK ON
WILDFLOWERS WILDFIRES AND ALL
CAN. LEARN FROM THOSE
EXPERIENCES BECAUSE WERE OVER A
BIT AHEAD ON SEA LEVEL RISE
DOES THAT HELP WITH YOUR- YEAH
I GUESS IT MIGHT FALL FOLLOW UP
QUESTION IS. IS IT SEEMS TO ME
THAT WE HAVE A FOUR HEADED
MONSTER THAT'S BEEN PROPOSED AS
FAR AS WHO'S DOING THE AD
ADAPTATION WORK WE HAVE PR WE
HAVE RESOURCES WE HAVE.
ENVIRONMENT WE HAVE MAYBE
AGRICULTURE AND EVERYBODY WANTS
A BIT OF THE CATALYST MONEY
EVERYBODY WANTS A LITTLE BIT OF
THIS- IT SEEMS TO ME SINCE IT'S
A PLANNING FUNDAMENTALLY THE
ADAPTATION IS A PLANNING.
EXERCISE DEAD DEAD THEN SENDS
MONEY OUT TO TRANSPORTATION
SENSE MONEY OUT TO HELP THAT IT
WOULD BE WISE FOR US TO GO BACK
AND LOOK AT OPR. WORD WHICH
HOUSES THE STRATEGIC PRO CANCEL.
FOR FINE THE BAT. AGENCY IS A
LEAD AGENCY ON A UP TO. OF
BECAUSE THEY- THEY HAVE THE-
WAS PEANUT BUTTER SPREAD OVER
EVERY ALL THE OTHER AGENCIES AM
I ALL FUND THAT THINKING THAT'S
WHY WE SAID. EARLIER THAT THAT
A LEAD A LEADING AGENCY OR PUT
ONE AGENCY IN CHARGE- ON
ADAPTATION. AGAIN THE I THINK
THE AGENCIES ARE WORKING
TOGETHER BETTER THAN THEY EVER
HAVE I THINK IT'S A GREAT SET
OF LEADERS THAT YOU SAW HERE
TODAY- I'VE WORKED BEFORE WITH
JARED AND KATE AND- WAIT AND
SOME OF THE OTHERS- I THINK
IT'S A GREAT TEAM. THAT'S BEEN
ASSEMBLED BUT I THINK YOU CAN
ONLY GO SO FAR WITH
COORDINATION. YOU KNOW AFTER
AWHILE COORDINATION STARTS TO
SAY THERE'S A PROBLEM. THAT
YOU'VE GOT TOO MANY DIFFERENT-
AGENCIES WORKING ON THIS OR
WORKING ON THIS ALL IN IN IN
PARALLEL. SO I THINK THAT THAT
THERE SHOULD BE A LEAD AGENCY I
THINK THAT WOULD I THINK THAT'S
PART OF WHAT WE MEANT ABOUT. UP
UP UP UP A PROGRAM SOMEHOW FOR
THE STATE AND FOR THE REGION'S
TOGETHER. MOVING ON TO CENTRE
BELL FOLLOWED BY CENTER SKINNER.
OF TALK ABOUT EVEN THOUGH IT'S
WITH- I DO BELIEVE THAT-
GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS. I AM VERY.
WHAT THE RECOMMENDATION. SO THE
TWENTY THIRTY PROGRAM AND WE'RE
TALKING LIKE THIS TIDAL WAVE
THIS COMING. AND WE HAVE EARLY
SO WHAT'S WHAT'S THE BOTTOM
LINE ON RECOMMENDATION ON SO
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO
GIVE YOU A VERY SIMPLE ANSWER
BECAUSE THIS IS AN
EXTRAORDINARILY COMPLICATED
PROBLEM LET ME MAKE IT AS
SIMPLE AS I CAN WHAT'S MONEY
THOUGH THE STATUS OF THE
PROGRAM IS THERE'S TOO MANY
ALLOWANCES RIGHT NOW RELATIVE
TO EMISSIONS EVERY YEAR OF THE
PROGRAM'S HISTORY TO DATE THERE
HAVE BEEN MORE ALLOWANCES AND
CARBON OFFSETS ISSUE THEN THERE
ARE EMISSIONS SUBJECT TO THE
PROGRAM. WITH THE DECLINING
PROGRAM CAPS THAT THAT- THE
SECRETARY MENTIONED EARLIER
THAT SITUATION IS LIKELY TO
CHANGE IN THE NEXT ONE TO THREE
YEARS WHO KNOWS WHAT'LL HAPPEN
WITH RECESSIONS IT'S COMING.
NOW EXACTLY HOW TIGHT YOU WANT
THE PROGRAM TO BE TO GET YOUR
GOALS IS A LONG AND COMPLICATED
DISCUSSION TALKING ABOUT
EXTENDING THE PROGRAM BEYOND
ITS CURRENT HORIZON AT TWENTY
THIRTY TO DOING SOMETHING LIKE
TWENTY FORTY OR TWENTY FORTY
FIVE WOULD ALTER THE SUPPLY
DEMAND BOUNCE OF THE MARKET AND
IT WOULD PUT UPWARD PRESSURE ON
PRICES MOST LIKELY. THE PROBLEM
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER I DON'T
THINK WE'VE HAD A LIST A
CONVERSATION A WHERE WE WANT
THIS PRICES TO GO AND I WOULD
SUGGEST THAT THAT'S A MORE
IMPORTANT CONVERSATION THEN
SORT OF CAN THE EXTENT OF THE
PRO THE ONE A THE CAN SAID ONE
PRICES TO WHETHER INVITE. FOR
RED GOAL FOR WHAT IT COME IN A
YOU THE QUESTION OF HOW SIGN UP.
PHASES OCCURRING A SOCIETY TO
ELECTRIC VEHICLES WHICH DON'T
USE GAS SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO ADJUST OUR FINANCING OF
TRANSPORTATION- TO- SOME OTHER
FORM LIKE A VEHICLE MILES
TRAVELED OR SOME KIND OF. OTHER
WAY OF PAYING FOR THE
MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS OF
PLEASE OF IS THAT KIND OF A
PROCESS THAT YOU THINK. WE
SHOULD DO BETWEEN NOW TWENTY
THIRTY FOR THE CAP AND TRADE.
UP PROGRAM REGARDING FINANCING-
CLIMATE CHANGE SO AGAIN THE
BEST PRACTICES RUNNING CAP AND
TRADE PROGRAMS IS TO CLEARLY
MEASURE WHAT IS GOING ON TO
MONITOR AND TO RE ADJUST
CONTINUOUSLY WITH CLEAR
EXPECTATIONS AND A FACT BASED
CONVERSATION AROUND THAT. THE
EUROPEAN UNION WHICH RUNS THE
LARGEST CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM
THE WORLD IS DOING THIS THEY
HAVE A MUCH MORE AMBITIOUS
PRICE TRAJECTORY AND I THINK A
MUCH MORE TRANSPARENT PROCESS
OF MANAGING THEIR SYSTEM IF YOU
WANTED TO DO THAT YOU COULD BE
ABLE TO ADJUST I AM INCLUDED
SOME OF THESE KINDS OF
QUESTIONS AND YOU AND YOUR
REFERENCE ABOUT. WHEN
EVENTUALLY TRANSITION TO A
PROJECT ONLY NON INTERNAL
COMBUSTION ENGINE VEHICLE
PROGRAM THAT IS MASSIVE REVENUE
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE WAY THE
FUND OUR ROADS AND HIGHWAYS
GOTCHA AND THERE ARE ALL SORTS
OF ANALOGOUS ISSUES THAT WOULD
COME UP IN ENERGY TRANSITIONS
AS WE NAVIGATE CLIMB THE
MITIGATION. AND WE NEED TO HAVE
A CLEAR FACT BASED DISCUSSION
ABOUT THIS THERE'S NO SILVER
BULLET I CAN GIVE YOU BUT THE
MORE WE CAN ORIENT AROUND WHAT
EXACTLY WE'RE TRYING TO DO AND
MAKE SURE OUR PROGRAMS ARE
FOLLOWING THROUGH ON THAT
BETTER. AND AGAIN I DON'T HAVE
LACK A SORT OF SIMPLE INTEREST
WHAT TO DO WE DON'T HAVE A FACT
BASED CONVERSATIONS WITH MUCH
HARDER FOR ME TO GIVE YOU A
CLEAR ANSWER WHAT WERE THE IS
WE HAVE A HARD DATA ON THE
OBJECTIONS ON. THE CONSISTENT
IN TERMS OF ALSO FIELD TO
ELECTRIC. AND ALL THAT IS THE
SP ONE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
CALIFORNIA FUNDED. ACT THANK.
SEARCH ANSWER. TO OVER SEVEN OR
EIGHT MILLION DOLLAR. PER YEAR.
AND WE HAVE REPORTS COMING BACK
TO THE LEGISLATURE. AND THE
AGENCIES TO. GIVE US SOME.
INFORMATION ABOUT. SUCH AS THE
FUNDING IN THE TRANSITION OF
THE GAS TAX IS SOMETHING.
DIFFERENT AND ODD WE KIND OF
HAVE A GOOD. HANDLE ON. ON
AGAIN- THIS HALOGEN GAS AT
LEAST. ON WHAT WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE. SO I
SUPPORT YOUR- TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE RESEARCH
RECOMMENDATION AND I THINK THAT
HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT WE
DIDN'T DO IT A LOT OF. OUR
INSTITUTIONS IN- STATE
GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE OTHER
INSTITUTIONS AS WELL IS TO HAVE
MORE. RESEARCH DONE OR
INDEPENDENT RESEARCH SO WE CAN
HAVE THE QUALITY CONTROL AND
THE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
THAT WE NEED TO MAKE THE
PROGRAM PROGRAM SUCCESSFUL. AND
I THINK THAT'S VERY VERY
IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATION. I
THINK SIR WORK OUTS YOU AGREE
BUT I THINK IT'S HELPED OUR
TRANSPORTATION TO PRO PROGRAM
WE TELL THEM TO IMPROVE. WE
TELL THE CUT OUT WE- DO
EFFICIENCIES AND SO FAR THEY'VE
MANAGED TO IDENTIFY IN IN
EMPLOYMENT. TWO HUNDRED AND
THIRTY THREE MILLION DOLLARS OF
IMPROVEMENTS- EFFICIENCIES THAT
WE CAN USE THAT MONEY TO APPLY
DUE TO- PROJECTS TO- THAT WE
WERE ABLE TO FUND FORMALY SO.
I THINK THAT I THINK RESEARCH
IS IMPORTANT I HAVE ONE MORE
QUESTION- FINANCING- REGIONAL
AND LOCAL ACTIVITIES. OF
THERE'S A LOT OF YOU KNOW AS
YOU KNOW THERE'S OF THE
POLITICAL- POPULARITY OF TRYING
TO DO SOMETHING ON CLIMATE
CHANGE IS VERY. OUT THERE IN
THE LOCAL AND- REGIONAL
GOVERNMENTS AS WELL AS THE
STATE GOVERNMENT HOW CAN WE
ASSIST THEM IN TERMS OF-
HELPING THEM GIVE A TOOLBOX. OF
FINANCING- PROPOSALS TO
IMPLEMENT SOME OF THESE OF
CLIMATE CHANGE POLICIES THAT WE
WANT TO IMPLEMENT HOWEVER THE
TRUE FINANCIAL PARTNER WITH THE
STATE WE CAN'T DO IT ALONE. WE
NEED THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
STATE GOVERNMENT FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT ALL INVOLVED BUT WE
GOT TO HELP THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT. BY PASSING- LAWS
THAT CREATE THE OPPORTUNITIES
SO DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS ON
WHAT WOULD WORK. AT THE AT THAT
LEVEL. THE ARM. I THINK IN IN
IN OUR REGION AND THE WORK
REGION AYE WORK AND IN THE IN
THE BAY AREA- WE'VE GOT- SOME
VERY INTERESTING WORK GOING ON
WHAT WE'D CALL CREATIVE
FINANCING APPROACHES TO SEA
LEVEL RISE BECAUSE THE LEVEL
RISE FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY
AREA IS YOU KNOW IS THE PLACE
WHERE WE SPENT MOST OF OUR TIME
WE'RE STARTING TO SPEND MORE ON
WILD FIRES NOW AND THAT'S GOOD
WE'RE STARTING TO SPEND. RON HE
WE'VE ALREADY SPENT TIME ON
DROUGHT LARA LIKE YOU ALL DID
BUT THE SEA LEVEL RISE FOLKS
HAVE BROUGHT IN FINANCIAL
EXPERTS BECAUSE IT'S BEYOND THE
NORMAL PEOPLE THAT RUN THE
AGENCIES IN THE CITIES AND THE
COUNTIES AND THERE'S BEEN SOME
REALLY GOOD WORK DONE BY THE
CDC KILLER ARE WITH THE
FINANCING THE FUTURE PROJECT
AND SOME OTHER LIKE THAT
THERE'S ALSO WERE GOING ON A
BERKELEY AND STANFORD RIGHT NOW
ON THIS IT IS. WITH GOVERNANCE
YOU KNOW OUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE
WITH WITHOUT AFFECTATION- THAT
THE DOLLAR FIGURES ARE ARE- OFF
THE CHARTS IN TERMS OF WHAT
IT'S GOING TO TAKE AN OFF
TOWARDS SO IN TERMS IT'S GOING
TO COST US AREA COUNCIL FEW MY
ROOM FOR A FEW YEARS AGO. DID A-
SERVE. STORE STEP IN THE BAY
THIS WAS. ALL RISE IT WAS A BIG
EXTRA STORM OF WHICH WERE
PROJECTED TO HAVE AT SOME POINT
IN THE FUTURE. AND THEY WENT
THROUGH AND LOOKED AT
INFRASTRUCTURE AND HOUSING JUST
THOSE TWO. IN THE IN THE NINE
COUNTIES IN THE REGION FOR A
BIG STORM THAT WOULD COME RIGHT
THROUGH YOUR DISTRICT IN THE
SILICON VALLEY COME UP THE
BANK. AND THE FIGURES WERE WERE
ASTOUNDING TO SEE SO THAT GOT I
THINK PAYER COUNCIL IN C. S.
FEEL G. IN SOME OF THE OTHER
VISITORS GROUPS TO SEE. WE'VE
GOTTA SART THINKING MORE
CREATIVELY- AND BRINGING IN THE
PRIVATE SECTOR AND OF THIS SO-
THAT WORK IS GOING ON WE NEED A
LOT MORE. I'LL JUST SAID
SENATOR I MEAN I I'D LOVE
RESEARCH IT'S GREAT ONE OF THE
THINGS I DO FOR A LIVING BUT
IT'S OFTEN DISCONNECTED FROM
THE POLICY PROCESS. AND I MIGHT
SUGGEST YOU FOR THAT FOR THE
VOLUMES OF MONEY THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT. BOTH TODAY BUT I
MEAN WITH THE CLIMATE IMPACTS
THAT ARE COMING A SMALL
INVESTMENT IN SOME SORT OF
INDEPENDENT CAPACITY TO PROVIDE
TECHNICAL ADVICE ON THIS TO THE
LEGISLATURE OR TO THE
ADMINISTRATION THAT'S
INDEPENDENT. MIGHT BE A VERY
VALUABLE INVESTMENT I SPEAK
WITH MY COLLEAGUES AT THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE I
HAVE NO IDEA HOW THEY PRODUCE
THE VOLUME OF MATERIAL THEY DO
ON THIS. AND I'M SURE THEY
WOULD TELL YOU THAT THEY DON'T
HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO ANSWER THE
QUESTIONS THEY GET. I THINK
THAT IS TO REPORTED TO THE
SCALE OF THESE CHALLENGES IN
THE COMPLEXITIES. THE THERE YOU
GO YEAH YES THANK YOU. YEAH
THANK YOU- GOT FORWARD
REQUIERAN GOOD TO SEE YOU BOTH.
FORWARD YOU- SAID IT MORE
ELOQUENTLY THAN- AYE AYE IN
TRYING TO MAKE MY THREE BUCKETS
I WAS TRYING TO MAKE THAT
DISTINCTION THAT- BECAUSE I
FELT I DIDN'T SAY IT BUT I FELT
SIMILARLY THAT THE WHOLE
DISCUSSION. EARLIER WAS A
MISHMASH OF. MITIGATION OR
REDUCTION. ADAPTATION SLASH
RESILIENCY AND THEN WHO KNOWS
WHAT ELSE ANYWAY BUT AND THAT
WERE GUILTY OF IT TOO WASN'T
JUST THE AGENCIES WERE ALSO
GUILTY BUT I FELT LIKE- THAT WE
IT WAS HARD TO HAVE TO
DISCUSSION WITH OUT BEING
REALLY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT THE
DIFFERENT POTS WERE IN WHAT THE
STATUTORY OBLIGATIONS ARE
THERE'S NO STATUTORY OBLIGATION
FOR THE NEW PROPOSAL OF THE
CATALYST FIND BECAUSE IT'S
GENERAL FUND AND OF COURSE YOU
KNOW IT'S NOT ADOPTED YET IT'S
A NEW PROPOSAL BUT THERE'S NO
STATUTORY OBLIGATION THERE. BUT
IT WAS KIND OF ALSO MIXED AS TO
WHETHER IT WOULD BE PRIMARILY
FOR TECHNOLOGIES OR PROCESS
SEES THAT WERE MITIGATION OR
TECHNOLOGIES AND PROCESS SEES
THAT MIGHT BE RESILIENCY AND
MAYBE IT'S BOTH BUT I DIDN'T
QUITE CATCH THAT. BUT IT MAY ON
THE SHORE PRE SHEET THAT YOU
MADE THAT. AND I- I PARTLY
ASKED THE LA- TO GIVE US SOME
RECOMMENDATION AROUND
ALLOWANCES TO FIX BECAUSE- I
THINK YOU'RE RIGHT THAT. WORK
WE ARE I DON'T REALLY WANT TO
BEAT UP THE A. R. B. BECAUSE-
WE IF I GO BACK TO THIS MISSION
MARSH IF WE LOOK AT. WHAT WE'VE
APPROVED IN THE GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS REDUCTION FIND IT'S
AS MUCH BEEN THE LEGISLATURE AS
THE ADMINISTRATION THAT IS PUT
THINGS IN IT THAT ARE NOT
STRICTLY. EMISSIONS REDUCTION
FINDING THINGS SO WE GOT OUR
OWN SOME OF THAT WE HAVE TO
CHOOSE BUT IF WE DON'T WANT TO
REMOVE ANY OF THAT THERE WE
NEED MORE FUNDS IN THE POT. AND
WE NEED A BETTER WE NEED AS A
WHITE HOUSE KEEP TO YOUR WAY
CASKEY POINTED OUT WE NEED A
BETTER MARKET SIGNAL BECAUSE
CAP AND TRADE IS A MARKET
SIGNAL TO REDUCE EMISSIONS. SO
THE- I WANT TO GET THAT
ANALYSIS ABOUT ALLOWANCES
BECAUSE WE COULD GO THE
DIRECTION OF SAYING OKAY. JUST
RAISE IT THIS MUCH OR WE COULD
GO BUT IN A FUNNY WAY. IT'S
REALLY I THINK MUCH MORE TRYING
TO LAND ON. I DON'T THINK
THERE'S A TOLERANCE TO GIVING
THE MARKET SIGNAL. THT WOULD
REALLY COVER THE COST OF REAL
MEDICATIONS AND I DON'T MEAN
JUST ON OUR PART I JUST MEAN A
COIN FROM THE ECONOMY EVEN SO
BUT HAVING SOME ANALYSIS AROUND
THE ALLOWANCES WOULD AT LEAST
GIVE US SOME INFORMATION TO
GIVE SOME DIRECTION TO A R. B.
NO APOLOGIES THAT I WANTED SO
LONG BECAUSE THEY DO HAVE
COUPLE QUESTIONS FROM. WHAT
WHAT ELSE MIGHT WE ASK IN THIS
IS TO- PROFESSOR COLORED WHAT
ELSE MIGHT WE ASK. AB LA- AND
I'M NOT TRYING TO LET AIR BE UP
THE HOOK I'M JUST LA- IS WHO WE
UTILIZED TO HELP US GIVE THAT
ANALYSIS WHAT ELSE MIGHT WE ASK
THEM. TO GIVE US SOME. YOU KNOW
BETTER HANDLE ON SOME DIRECTION
THEN WE MIGHT USE. I THINK
THERE BROAD THE TWO SETS OF
QUESTIONS YOU COULD GET SEVERAL
JUST I'LL START OFF BY SAYING
I'D BE HAPPY TO SPEAK WITH YOU
AFTERWARDS BECAUSE I THINK
THESE ARE MORE TECHNICAL
DISCUSSIONS BUT THE TWO BROAD
AREAS I WOULD SUGGEST ARE THE
TRADE OFFS BETWEEN CAP AND
TRADE IN TAXES WHICH DOCTOR
BROWN ALLUDED TO BRIEFLY THERE
ARE SOME IMPORTANT TECHNICAL
DISTINCTIONS AND WE HAVE A
HYBRID SYSTEM IN USE TODAY AND
SO WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND ALL OF
THOSE. AND THEN I YOU KNOW
QUESTIONS ABOUT YOU KNOW IF ONE
WERE TO ADJUST ALLOWANCE
SUPPLIES WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO
PRICES IN WITH WHAT CERTAINTY
CAN WE SAY THE ANSWER TO THAT
QUESTION UNDER DIFFERENT
CHOICES ON THE DESIGN OF THE
MARKET AND AGAIN THE
FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM A PRESENT
TO YOU THE WE RIGHT NOW HAVE A
FLOOR THAT'S VERY LOW IT WAS
SET BACK IN CANADA THEN READ
THE DID. SNOW INTO GOALS. AND
WE HAVE A C. THE DISK HIGH AND
AS YOU SUGGESTED MAY NOT
REPRESENT WHERE THE STATE WERE
OTHERS MAY WANT TO GO. THE
QUESTION IS WHERE DO YOU WANT
TO SET THAT BAND AND WHAT
HAPPENS WITHIN THAT BAND. IF
YOU WERE TO MAKE VARIOUS
ADJUSTMENTS. AND THEN ASK IS
LILLIAN BUT I WON'T I'M
DIRECTORY ORDEN YOU MENTIONED.
YOU TALKED THERE NEEDING MORE
THAN TWENTY FIVE MILLION IN
PLANNING THE ONLY THING THAT WE
AT LEAST HAVE IS A PROPOSAL
BEFORE US AND CLEARLY
LEGISLATURE WE COULD DO
DIFFERENTLY IS TWENTY FIVE
MILLION IN PLANNING BUT IN A
BOND A BOND WHICH IS SUPPOSED
TO FIND CAPITAL. SO I WOULD I
AM WE CAN YOU CAN USE SOME
CAPITAL MONEY FOR PLANNING YES
BUT I'D BE LOATH. TO GO OUT
THERE WITH INCREASING THE BOND.
BY INCREASING I NON CAPITAL. SO.
WHAT AMOUNT. ME ME THAT'S
PROBABLY UNLIMITED BUT- WHAT
OTHER WAYS YOU KNOW IT SEEMS TO
ME IT'S PRIDE GENERAL FUND BUT
I MEAN THE PLANNING IS VERY
REAL BECAUSE IF WE'RE GONNA
SPEND THE BOND MONEY
APPROPRIATELY THEN WE HAVE TO
HAVE SOME REAL. YOU KNOW SOME
REAL FAR BEHIND IT'S LIKE OUR
SB ONE MONIES RIGHT THERE WAS
SOME REAL THOUGHT BEHIND WHERE
TO SPEND THAT TRANSPORTATION
MONIES. THE JUST YOUR THOUGHTS
ON THAT WELL THE ONE THING IS
THE PLANNING WORK THAT'S BEING
DONE AT THE CITY AND COUNTY
LEVELS FIRST ON CLIMATE ACTION
PLANS AND NOW AN ADAPTATION
PLANS AND SOMETIMES COMBINE THE
TWO AS YOU KNOW. OFTEN THAT
INCLUDES A LOT OF ENGAGEMENT
WITH LOCAL COMMUNITY WITH THE
COMMUNITIES AND WITH COMMUNITY
BASED ORGANIZATIONS WELL IT'S
ALSO BASED ON REAL EXPERIENCE
LIKE JUST EXPERIENCING A KING
TIDE ABSOLUTELY BUT THE PLANS
THEMSELVES ARE MORE THAN JUST
PLANS THEY ARE ALSO ENGAGEMENT
TOOLS ABOUT AND TALK TO
CITIZENS ABOUT THE ISSUES. THAT
ARE THERE- SO I THOUGHT I'D THE
PLANNING I UNDERSTAND THE
PROJECT AND PLANNING ISSUE WITH
WITH WITH THE BOND. I I'M NOT
THE EXPERT ON WHERE THAT SHOULD
COME FROM I'M JUST HERE TO SAY
THAT- WE NEED THAT KIND OF
PLANNING- AGAIN IT'S AN EQUITY
ISSUE THAT WE HAVE SOME
COUNTIES THAT HAVE. A FOR BEEN.
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD TO DO
THREE AND FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLAR ASSESSMENTS FOR SEA
LEVEL RISE AND OTHERS WHO. HAVE
HARDLY STARTED. BOB THAT'S NOT
A WAY THAT WE WANT TO RUN THE
STATE AND THAT'S ALSO WITH WITH
THAT ISSUE IN WITH A COUPLE OF
OTHERS TO WHAT ONE CITY DOES IS
GOING TO AFFECT OTHERS. AND IF
YOU HAVE BILL IS KIND OF
PATCHWORK OF PLANS PUT TOGETHER
BECAUSE ONLY CERTAIN PLACES
COULD AFFORD IT OR COMPETED
WELL FOR A GRANT- WHICH IS WHAT
MOST OF OUR OUR OUR GROUPS OF
HAD TO DO IS KIND OF GO OUT
AND- COMPETE FOR GRANTS TO DO
THIS BASIC PLANNING WORK. SO
I'M NOT HERE TO SAY WHERE BUT
IT I THINK IT IT WOULD BE A
HUGE STEP. TO GET EVERYBODY
KIND OF UP TO A AN ASSESSMENT
LEVEL SO WE UNDERSTAND. BECAUSE
THE ISSUES AS WE'VE TALKED ON
THE OF ADMINISTRATION TALKED.
VERY DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT
PLACES. OF COAST IS GOING TO BE
VERY DIFFERENT FROM CONTROL OF
PLACE VALLEY'S CAN. VERY
DIFFERENT FOR A SOMEWHAT
DIFFERENT FROM MANILA EMPIRE SO.
THIS IS A YOU CAN DO THIS SIZE
FITS FITS ALL OR ALL FROM
SACRAMENTO. BUT PROVIDING THAT
KIND OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
SINCE AGAIN WITH THE REGIONAL
REPORTS WERE TRYING TO DO. WAS
TO SHOW THAT IN NINE OR TEN
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE STATE WE
HAVE VERY DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT
WERE THERE WERE SEEING. PLANS
ARE LIKE REAL PLANS VERSUS KIND
AND VISION STATEMENTS. THAT
THAT THAT A PLAN INCLUDES. STEP
BY STEP IN TIME FRAME TERMS OF
HOW WE GET THERE NO LA COUNTY
GOT A- BEAUTIFULLY ARTICULATED
SUSTAINABILITY PLAN- BUT THERE
ASPECTS OF IT THAT I DON'T SEE
A PATH. I SEE VISION STATEMENTS
BUT OUT MISTER WE SEE A PATH WE
ARE WE ARE HAVING A MEDIAN THE
BEARER OF ABOUT A HUNDRED
PEOPLE ON THURSDAY. AND A BIG
TOPIC IS WHAT WE'RE CALLING
EIGHT A- THEY CITIES AND
COUNTIES SOME HAVE DONE
ASSESSMENTS- AND THIS IS AGAIN
MOSTLY AROUND SEA LEVEL RISE.
AND THEY SEE PROJECTS WAY OVER
HERE AND HOW THE HECK ARE WE
GOING TO GET RIGHT FROM OKAY
WE'VE DONE THE SCIENCE I
UNDERSTAND WHAT THE ISSUES ARE
MOSTLY. SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE
CITY OF SANTA CRUZ- BECAUSE
WE'VE HEARD THEY'VE KIND OF
SOLVED A PART OF THE PUZZLE. ON
SOARING JUST TO HEAR HOW THEY
PRACTICALLY ARE GOING TO WALK
US THROUGH AT ST. WERE YOU
TEMPTED TO SKIP I'M SORRY I DO
RIGHT IN. SENATOR STERN TO ME
MEDICARE STERN TO STERN-
WATCHES OVER I KNOW WE GOTTA GO
NO WE A PUBLIC COMMENT OKAY. IF
I APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK A
PRISONER REARED IN I JUST WANT
TO SEE IF YOU COULD POTENTIALLY
COME BACK TO US J. MED THESE
ARE THE DIFFERENT NOT ONE SIZE
FITS ALL. IN YOUR IN YOUR
FANTASY SCENARIO WHERE WE HAD
ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD THAT
WE ACTUALLY WERE HONEST ABOUT
THE SIZE OF THE RISK. WHAT DOES
READY MISS LOOK LIKE IN.
GREATER RIVERSIDE JERRY INLAND
EMPIRE BAY AREA. SEVEN THE LA
NORTH COAST A SNAPSHOT SAY OF
FOUR FIVE REGIONS OF THE STATE
WHERE WE COULD ACTUALLY HAVE A
SENSE OF AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOUR POINT
SEVEN BILLION DOLLAR BOND RIGHT
NOW IF YOU'RE TELLING US WE'RE
FACING A TWO HUNDRED BILLION
DOLLAR LIABILITY IN LA ALONE.
WE CAN'T TELL PEOPLE PHჹFOR
THIS BOND AND IT WILL BE READY.
YOU'LL BE RIGHT SO CAN YOU CAN
YOU HELP US JUST DO SOME OF
THAT BASIC MATH SO AT LEAST WE
KNOW. YEAH IT'S GOING TO COST
TO CHIP AWAY AT THIS AND WE
WOULD LOVE TO DO SOME THINKING
ON THAT AND COME BACK. OKAY
THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WOULD NEED
TO HAPPEN IT IS WHAT WE SAID AT
THE TOP IN TERMS OF GOALS WE'VE
GOT TO BE AND IT'S NOT ONE SET
OF GOALS FOR THE WHOLE STATE
BUT- BUT- YOU KNOW LET'S DO.
CENTRAL VALLEY LET'S DO NORTH
COAST LET'S DO EACH REGION AND
SAY. THIS IS WHAT WE'D LIKE IT
TO LOOK LIKE IN TEN YEARS THIS
IS WHERE. YOU HAVE TO DO THAT
TO GET THE PUBLIC ON BOARD- WE
HAVE TO DO IT FOR PLANNING SO.
WE CAN DO IT- WITH MORE OF A
LOOK AT THE QUANTIFYING THE
COSTS AS WELL OKAY. THANK YOU

THE PART OF THE CONCEPT OF THE
CRIME CUDDLES FINDING

SCALE TRANSFORM FORMING THE
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR TO ZERO
MISSION MOBILITY AND
OPPORTUNITIES THIS
TRANSFORMATION PRICE FOR JOBS

MADAM CHAIR AND SENATORS- A
FEDERAL NON BEHALF OF AN BERMAN
DEFENSE FUNDS IN A LAND TRUST
ON BEHALF OF EDF- REALLY WANT
TO EMPHASIZE AND REITERATE-
COMMENTS NEVER SENATORS ABOUT
THE OVERALL SIZE OF THE BOND
YOU WILL HEAR FROM US ANOTHER
COMMITTEE HEARINGS ABOUT
INDIVIDUAL PROGRAMS THAT MAKE
YOU WANT TO SEE. BUT GENERALLY
SUPPORT OF WANTING TO PUSH FOR
SOMETHING LIKE TEN BILLION
DOLLARS SOMETHING THAT TRULY
REFLECTS THE NEED THAT WE ALL
KNOW IS IN CALIFORNIA- THAT
CALIFORNIA'S FACING IN THE IN
THE YEARS TO COME. THE OTHER
PIECE THAT I REALLY WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT ON BEHALF OF MEDIA IS
THE IMPORTANCE OF NATURAL
RESOURCES FUNDING AND IN
PARTICULAR IN THE CONTEXT OF
THE BOND IS BEING PROPOSED ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT IS-
CURRENTLY KIND OF UNDER THE
RADAR IS THE FACT THAT. FOR THE
CURRENT BUDGET YEAR- THOSE BOND
DOLLARS WILL MATERIALIZE UNTIL
IT'S PASSED BY THE VOTERS IN
APPROPRIATED IN THE OUT YEAR SO
FOR ALL OF THIS NEXT YEAR WE'RE
REALLY TALKING ABOUT NO
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS- THAT'S
ONE THING THAT WE WILL
DEFINITELY WANT TO COME BACK
AND TALK. TO YOU ALL ABOUT-
REALLY WHEN I LIKE THAT AND
THEN WE HAVE SIMILAR INTEREST
WE DO KNOW THAT SEA LEVEL RISE
IS GONNA BE ASYMMETRICALLY-
IMPLEMENTED THROUGHOUT THE
COAST GIVEN SOME REALLY-
DYNAMIC LOCAL POLITICS- BUT
THERE ARE EXAMPLES OF WHERE WE
CAN ACTUALLY. MAKE SOME GOOD
PROGRESS ESPECIALLY IN NORTH
BAY SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
YOUR TIME YOU. NEXT WITNESS.
GOOD EVENING CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE
SO AFRICA. STAR WHEN I COULD
BECOME MADE A BEHALF LOCAL
REGISTRATION. OF THE PACKAGE
BUT WHEN THESE ONE EMPHASIZE
ARE. EITHER BY THE LACK OF
ROBUST FUNDING MEANS THAT YOU
SEND. THIS ORTION OF MARKET
SIGNALS THAT FOLKS IN THE
MARKET WHO ARE INVESTING IN
THESE KIND OF SOURCES AND- HAS
HOSTED ON PANELS IF WE WANT
PRIVATE INVESTED TO SUPPLEMENT
THOSE DOLLARS. ARE UNABLE TO
SEE WHETHER NOT THIS IS
WORTHWHILE ON THEIR END WHICH
MEANS THAT WE AUTUMN WE GET
VEHICLES. FURTHER OUT THAN WE
NEEDED TO- MOST IMPORTANTLY. WE
DON'T GET THOSE VEHICLES OUT
WHICH MEANS YOU DON'T HAVE THE
GZ REDUCTIONS WE DON'T HAVE THE
AIR POLLUTION REDUCTIONS AND
MORE IMPORTANTLY. WE ARE. HELLO
SLOWLY TAKING CLOSER TO OUR
TWENTY TWENTY THREE DEADLINE.
UNDER THE FEDERAL CLEAN AIR
ACT. THE OTHER THING WE WANT TO
TALK ABOUT ON TERMS. OF THE
CATALYST FIND IS THAT WE THINK
THAT LOW INTEREST. ZERO OR LOW
INTEREST LOANS ARE USEFUL IN
SOME ASPECTS OF IT BUT
GENERALLY. ARE NOT THE WAY YOU
SHOULD. REPLACE THE DRAFT
DOLLARS. AND WE THINK THAT IF
YOU DRIVERS ON TO BE SUFFICIENT
ENOUGH TO FIND. OUR MEDIUM AND-
HEAVY DUTY IN THE CAR AND LOW
LIGHT DUTY TRANSPORTATION
PROGRAMS WE SHOULD BE LOOKING
FOR ADDITIONAL. SUPPLEMENTAL
DOLLARS IN WHAT MANNER- I AM
NOT SURE YET BUT- THAT IS WHEN
THE THAT THE COMMITTEE SHOULD.
I URGE YOU WANT TO LOOK FOR
SUPPLEMENTAL FUNDING IF YOU
TRAVIS. THANKS THANK YOU. GOOD
