AUTHOR. IT IS S. B. ONE A BY SO
PAD CAN COAST RESOURCE INTO
LEVEL- MAN PRO TEM WELCOME TO
THE COMMITTEE. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN AND CO- I APPRECIATE
THE COURTESY OF BEING ABLE TO
GO FIRST. I AM HERE TO PRESENT
SB ONE AND NOT MISTER CHAIRMAN
COLLEAGUES I WILL BEGIN BY
ACCEPTING AS AUTHORS AMENDMENTS
THE TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS
RECOMMENDED IN THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS. COLLEAGUES WE'VE ALL
EXPERIENCED THE DEVASTATING
EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE FROM
DISASTERS LIKE MASSIVE
WILDFIRES WERE WE'VE LOST
HUNDREDS OF LIVES SAME PROPERTY
DESTROYED AND SUFFERED BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS IN TAXPAYER COST TO
LONG PERIODS OF SEVERE DROUGHT.
WHICH HAS AFFECTED ALSO OUR
STATE'S ABILITY TO GROW FOOD.
I'M A CHANGES ALSO ACUTELY
AFFECTING CALIFORNIA'S COAST
AND MORE SUBTLE IN DAMAGING
WAYS THROUGH SEA LEVEL RISE.
TURNING TO THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE CALIFORNIA
COULD EXPERIENCE THE LEVEL RISE
OF HALF A FOOT IN THE NEXT
DECADE AND UP TO SEVEN FEET BY
THE END OF THE CENTURY. ATIKA
EVENTS LIKE COASTAL STORMS AND
KING TIDES WILL AMPLIFY THESE
EFFECTS. THESE CHANGES COULD
VERY WELL INAND DAY LOW LYING
COASTAL AREAS AND EVEN INLAND
AREAS. WREAKING HAVOC ON BOTH
PRIVATE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES
FOR EXAMPLE IN MY DISTRICT THE
DEL MAR BELUS ARE ERODING AWAY
A MAJOR REAL LINE IT'S THE
SECOND BUSIEST RAIL LINE IN THE
COUNTRY RUNS THROUGH THESE PLUS
AND WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT REPAIR
AND ATTENTION TO THE STATE THE
ATTENTION. THE STATE IS IN
DANGER OF NOT BEING ABLE TO
MOVE PEOPLE AND GOODS
EFFICIENTLY OR EFFECTIVELY.
STATE GOVERNMENT AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ARE ONLY. EARLY
STAGES OF PLANNING FOR AND
ANTICIPATING SEA LEVEL RISE THE
LONGER WE WAIT THE MORE COSTLY
THE DAMAGE WILL BE IN FACT THE
L. A. RECOMMENDS MORE FUNDING
GREATER STATE REGIONAL AND
LOCAL COLLABORATION AND BETTER
INFORMED PLANNING AND LAND USE
DECISIONS TO ADDRESS SEA LEVEL
RISE. SB ONE ESTABLISHES A
STRUCTURE TO IMPLEMENT THESE
RECOMMENDATIONS SPECIFICALLY
THE BILL REQUIRES NEW PLANNING
IMPLEMENTATION AND PUBLIC
AGENCY COORDINATION
REQUIREMENTS TO ADDRESS THE
IMPACTS OF SEA LEVEL RISE FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN CALIFORNIA
LAW. FURTHERMORE SB ONE
REQUIRES THE COASTAL COMMISSION
TO ADOPT AND PERIODICALLY
UPDATE STANDARDS FOR USE IN
LOCAL AND REGIONAL COASTAL
PLANNING IN ORDER TO MORE
EFFECTIVELY IDENTIFY ASSESS AND
MITIGATE SEA LEVEL RISE. SB ONE
ALSO ESTABLISHES A NEW CROSS
GOVERNMENT COLLABORATIVE TO
ENSURE THE IMPACTS OF SEA LEVEL
RISE ARE ANTICIPATED AND
ADDRESSED BEYOND SIMPLY
ENVIRONMENTAL DEPARTMENTS BUT
ALSO BY OUR TRANSPORTATION AND
OUR INFRASTRUCTURE AGENCIES AND
FINALLY. A PROVIDES NEW FUNDING
CONTINGENT UPON APPROPRIATION
IN THE ANNUAL BUDGET FOR STATE
REGIONAL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
TO PLAN. FOR AND MITIGATE FOR
SEA LEVEL RISE. IN ADDRESSING
SEA LEVEL RISE WE CANNOT FORGET
ABOUT ADDRESSING OUR MOST
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES AND
THAT'S WHY THE BILL EXPANDS THE
EXISTING CAL EPA ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE GRANT PROGRAM. TO
ENSURE THAT DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES MOST IMPACTED FROM
SEA LEVEL RISE HAVE A VOICE IN
THE ACTIONS GOVERNMENT TAKES TO
ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES.
SEALABLE RISES A PROBLEM I'VE
SEEN TAKE ROOT IN MY
COMMUNITIES AND THOSE OF MANY
SENATORS ACROSS THE STATE. AND
FINALLY I WANT TO DISABUSE YOU
OF THE NOTION THAT THIS IS A
FIRST WORLD PROBLEM FOR WEALTHY
COASTAL ENCLAVES LIKE
POTENTIALLY MALIBU ARE LAHORE
YEAH. IN REALITY SEALEVEL RISE
WILL DO MOST HARM IN THOSE
COMMUNITIES THAT CAN LEAST
AFFORD TO ADDRESS IT.
COMMUNITIES LIKE IMPERIAL BEACH
AND CHULA VISTA IN MY REGION.
OF PORT WHY NINI AND MARINA IN
OUR CENTRAL COAST AND MIL
PAETUS AND CRESCENT CITY IN THE
NORTHERN PART OF OUR STATE. SB
ONE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
CALIFORNIA TO TAKE A
COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO SEA
LEVEL RISE. HAPPY TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS MISTER CHAIRMAN I
WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK I HAVE
ONE MAJOR WITNESS IN SUPPORT.
SERUM IS ADDED WHO IS A COASTAL
COMMISSIONER. AND AN EXPERT ON
SEA LEVEL RISE- OF WE ARE GOING
TO MOVE TO HER AS A WITNESS IN
SUPPORT BUT LET ME ANNOUNCE. NO
PLEASE COME FORWARD. BUT LET ME
ANNOUNCE THAT APPARENTLY THE
PHONE NUMBER WASN'T CORRECT ON
THE SCREEN. SO FAR IF YOU WISH
TO ARE USED TO TELECONFERENCE
BECAUSE WILL BE TAKING
WITNESSES AFTER OF THIS
PRESENTATION THE CORRECT
NUMBER. IS. 844-291-6364. EIGHT
FOUR FOUR TWO NINE ONE SIX
THREE SIX FOUR. AND THE CODE
IS- SIX FIVE FOUR TWO EIGHT
NINE SEVEN COMMISSIONER WELCOME
TO THE- WHAT WHATEVER WORKS.
THANK YOU A GOOD MORNING
COMMITTEE MEMBERS- MY NAME IS
TERRY I'M INSIDE IT AND I'M
HONORED TO BE HERE TODAY IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF SB ONE- AS
THE PRESIDENT MENTIONED I'VE
STUDIED THE IMPACT OF SEA LEVEL
RISE ON SHORELINE AREAS. AND
ADVOCATED FOR NEEDED POLICY
REFORMS FOR FIFTEEN YEARS. I
ALSO HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF
SERVING ON THE CALIFORNIA
COASTAL COMMISSION. BY NOW THE
MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE MANY
OF WHOM HAVE AUTHORED KEY
RELATED BILLS ON THE TOPIC ARE
FAMILIAR WITH THE REACH OF SEA
LEVEL RISE. WE KNOW THAT
IMPACTS WILL NOT HAPPEN SLOWLY
AND GRADUALLY AS THE FAR OFF
TIME HORIZONS OF TWENTY FIFTY
AND TWENTY ONE HUNDRED MIGHT
IMPLY. BUT INSIDE IN AND YET
PREDICTED EMERGENCIES
ASSOCIATED WITH EXTREME WEATHER
AND ULTRA HIGH TIDE EVENTS. I
WANT TO SPEAK TODAY ABOUT SEA
LEVEL RISE IMPACTS TO
UNDERSERVED OMMUNITIES AND
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR IN
CALIFORNIA. MANY OF WHOM HAVE
BEEN EXCLUDED FROM COASTAL
AREAS THROUGH STATE SANCTIONED
EMINENT DOMAIN. RELEGATED TO
AREAS VULNERABLE TO FLOODING
THROUGH REDLINING AND FEDERAL
HOUSING PROJECTS AND WHO LIVE
IN LARGELY PARK POOR AREAS. SEA
LEVEL RISE AND STATE ACTIONS OR
IN ACTIONS WILL PERPETUATE
INEQUITIES AND DISPARITIES THAT
ALREADY EXIST IF WE DO NOT MOVE
FORWARD WITH COMPREHENSIVE
REFORMS LIKE THAT IN SB ONE.
LOWER INCOME RESIDENTS AND
THOSE WHO LIVE IN RENTAL UNITS
IN PLACES LIKE TO LIVE IS TO
IMPORT WHY NIIMI ARE MORE
LIKELY TO BE DISPLACED BY
FLOODING AS COMPARED TO
PROPERTY OWNERS BECAUSE THEY
LACKED THE FUNDS TO REBUILD.
AND HAVE LESS CONTROL OVER
THEIR SAFETY. IN PLACES LIKE
MARIN CITY IN ARCADIA RESIDENTS
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO
WORK OR CENTRAL SERVICES WHEN
ROADS FLOOD. AND IN AREAS
VULNERABLE TO SEA LEVEL RISE
LIKE SAN PEDRO AND LONG BEACH
SINCE THE WALLS WILL FURTHER
REDUCE ACCESS TO COASTAL
RECREATION AREAS. FOR LOWER
INCOME RESIDENTS LIVING L. AND
MAY ACCESS THE BEACH RARELY AND
BYPASS BIKING OR WALKING. THEY
CANNOT CREWS TO THE NEXT BEACH
WHEN THE REGULAR SPOT IS
FLOODED- RENDERED UNSAFE FOR
USE. SB ONE WILL CREATE A
FRAMEWORK FOR TAKING ACTION
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. SB ONE
AN AXE THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE
SEA LEVEL RISE PROGRAM IN STATE
GOVERNMENT AND ESTABLISHES
FUNDING FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
AND COMMUNITIES. TO PLAN FOR
SEA LEVEL RISE. WOULD MAKE UP
TO ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
AVAILABLE FOR ADAPTATION
PREPAREDNESS WORK AND
EXPLICITLY I'D C. LEVEL RISE TO
THE EPA ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
GRANTS PROGRAM. SENDING
CRITICALLY NEEDED FUNDS TO
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.
ADDITIONALLY THE TECHNICAL
AMENDMENT- GRACIOUSLY ACCEPTED
BY THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE WILL
ALLOW FUNDS TO BE DISTRIBUTED
THROUGH EXISTING CHANNELS
ALLOWING US TO EXPEDITE THE
DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS. EVERY
YEAR THAT WE DO NOT TAKE ACTION
TO PREPARE STATE FOR SEA LEVEL
RISE. MEANS A SET OF
OPPORTUNITIES AND CHOICES LOST
AND WE KNOW THAT THESE LOSSES
WILL BE FELT MOST SHARPLY BY
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. WE
ALSO KNOW THAT ONE DOLLAR SPENT
NOW ON PREPARING NASS WILL SAVE
A SIX DOLLARS ON FUTURE
EMERGENCY RESPONSE. I URGE THIS
COMMITTEE TO PASS THIS
IMPORTANT BILL AND TO LEARN
YOUR VOICES TO SUPPORT THIS
CRITICAL REFORM THIS SESSION.
THE COMMISSION STRONGLY
SUPPORTS THIS BELT AND LOOKS
FORWARD TO CONTINUED WORK WITH
THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE INCLUDING
ON ADDITIONAL CLARIFYING
TECHNICAL MOMENTS. THANK YOU SO

CENTER EGGMAN THANK YOU VERY
MUCH I JUST WHEN I THINK THE
LIKE TO MOVE THIS BILL AND
THINK THE PRO TEM FOR HER WORK
ON THIS THOSE OF US WHO LIVE IN
THE CENTRAL VALLEY DON'T WANT
TO BE ON THE COAST FRONT. AND
SO WE APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT AND
ESPECIALLY LOOKING AFTER THE
SMALL COMMUNITIES WHO OTHERWISE
DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO
PLAN FOR THESE THINGS. OUR WILL
NOT THE MOTION TYSON EGGMAN
FURTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS.
YES MISTER JONES THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR. NUMBER TIM I HEAR
YOU AND I HAVE BEEN ON THE SAME
SIDE ON SEVERAL PROJECTS IN SAN
DIEGO THAT HAVE BEEN FOR THAT
WE'VE TRIED TO SUPPORT AND GET.
DONE AND- THE BECAUSE THE
COMMISSION HAS FRUSTRATED A LOT
OF THOSE PARTS NOT ALL OF THEM
BUT SOME OF THEM AND- MY
UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS BILL
CREATES AN ADDITIONAL.
BUREAUCRACY A NEW GOVERNMENT
PRIVACY WITH IN THE COASTAL
COMMISSION- ARE YOU NOT
CONSIDERED I'M CONCERNED AND I
GUESS THE QUESTION ARE YOU NOT
CONCERNED THAT THAT'S GOING TO
FURTHER FRUSTRATE GOOD PROJECTS
WHEN THEY COMMON AND WANT TO
GET PATH A BUILT IN AD OR
COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE.
THANK THANK YOU FOR THE FIVE.
TESTING THANK M. THANK YOU
SENATOR FOR THE QUESTION I OF
COURSE LIKE YOU COME OUT A
LOCAL GOVERNMENT WHERE WE SEE
PROJECTS- AND OF COURSE WE'VE
HAD A HISTORY OF- BOTH LOVE A
AND- MAYBE DISSATISFACTION WITH
SOME RULINGS OF THE COASTAL
COMMISSION WHETHER IT'S AN
ENFORCEMENT ISSUE THAT'S BEEN
REPORTED OR WHETHER IT'S A
DEVELOPMENT- I HAVE CERTAINLY
WORKED WITH THE COMMISSION AS A
CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ON PROJECTS
IN IN SAN DIEGO AS YOU HAVE-
I'M NOT I REALLY THINK THAT WE
HAVE THE ABILITY- TO WEIGH IN
AND FRANKLY- THE LOCAL COASTAL
PLANS ALREADY ADDRESS A NUMBER
OF THESE ISSUES THE REAL FOCUS
OF THIS BILL. IS BRING IN OTHER
ENTITIES ON BOARD TO WORK WITH
THE COASTAL COMMISSION AND NOT
JUST THE E. P. A. AS I STATED
IN MY THAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL
EPA AGENCIES BUT TRANSPORTATION
AND ON OTHERS BECAUSE WE'VE GOT
TO BROADEN THE PERSPECTIVE OF
WHAT'S GOING ON THAT'S IMPACT
IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND SO I
THINK WE'RE ALWAYS HEALTHY TO
BE SKEPTICL OF HOW ANY AGENCY
WORKS AND ALL OF US WHETHER WE
SUPPORTED AGENCY OR NOT IN
PHILOSOPHY OR PRINCIPLE HAVE
THE RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE
SURE. THAT IT'S STAND
ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PEOPLE IN
THE PUBLIC AND THE COASTAL
COMMISSION AS HAD THE HISTORIC
DESIGNATION OF HAVING TO
PROTECT THE COASTLINE WHICH HAS
BEEN NO SMALL FEAT- SO I AM NOT
BUT I BUT I UNDERSTAND WHERE
YOU'RE COMING FROM AND I THINK
IT WILL BE UP AND COMING UP ON
ALL OF US TO HAVE. THAT
COMMUNICATION. THANK YOU.
FATHER KIRK. MISTER WEISS.
BERRYHILL FIRST OF ALL I WANNA
THANK THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING
THIS VERY IMPORTANT MEASURE
FORWARD I STARTED WORKING WITH
THE COASTAL COMMISSION BACK IN
TWO THOUSAND. NINE
APPROXIMATELY ON THIS ISSUE- ON
ON A PLANNING STRATEGY ON HOW
TO COMBAT SEA LEVEL RISE AND
IT'S BEEN. I DON'T QUITE A TIME
OF WORK SO I THINK IT'S
ABSOLUTELY APPROPRIATE. TO
CARRY ON AND CARRY FORWARD WITH
THAT WITH THE MEASURE SUCH AS
THIS AND I JUST WANTED TO ADD
ON. I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT OFTEN IS NOT CONSIDERED.
IN THIS IN THIS CONVERSATION IS
HOW MUCH. OF WATER THAT
NATURALLY AND USED YOU KNOW
NATURALLY JUST OVER THE YEARS
HAS BEEN SEQUESTERED IN INOWROC
OFFERS AND ARE THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA HOW ARE ARE. THE
STATE'S RESERVES OF WATER KNOCK
FIRST HAS BEEN GREATLY DEPLETED
WHERE WOULD SOME AREAS WE'VE
SEEN THIRTY FIVE FEET OF. FIRST
AND THAT ALSO IS PART OF THE
EQUATION OF- OF MAKING SURE
THAT I MEAN NOT ONLY DOES THAT
WATER SERVE THE PURPOSES OF
AGRICULTURE AND HUMAN USE BUT
IT ALSO HELPS TO COMBAT CIVIL
SEALEVEL RISE SO WHEREVER WE
CAN- YOU KNOW PUT SOME
RESOURCES INTO RESTORING
ESTABLISHING THAT ALSO. PART OF
THE STRATEGY I THINK THAT
SHOULD BE LOOKED AT THAT. AS
MUCH AS POSSIBLE I'VE AS MANY
OF YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN WORKING
VERY HARD TO RESTORING THE
SALTON SEA AND WE'VE SEEN THAT-
THAT LAKE GO BACK- IN. IT IN A
SEA LEVEL IT ITS OWN LEVEL HAS
BEEN GREATLY DEPLETED AND IF WE
USE THAT ALSO AS A STORAGE
WATER COULD HELP. THE
ENVIRONMENT AND- IN FIFTY
DIFFERENT WAYS TO REVENUE
MANAGER HERE FOR THE LAST TEN
YEARS. BUT THAT ALSO CAN HELP
COMBAT SEA LEVEL RISE NETWORK
WHERE WE LOOK AT ANY- LAKES.
WITH NATURAL LAKES RESERVOIRS.
AQUIFER'S ALL THAT SHOULD BE
INCLUDED AS PART THE STRATEGY-
IN AND ALSO ENCOURAGE THAT IN
OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD WHERE
WE HAVE HAVE THE DEAD SEA THE-
OVERALL SEE ACROSS THE WORLD WE
SEE. AN ENORMOUS- EMPTYING OF
AQUIFER'S AND WATER BODIES THAT
USED TO ONCE BE VIBRANT BODIES
ARE NOW COMPLETELY DECIMATED
BECAUSE OF HUMAN USE NOT HAS TO
BE PART OF PART OF CALIFORNIANS
ADVOCACY CROSS TO WORLD CHEN
COURAGE THAT THANK YOU. OF
MATTER PRO TERM FOR YOUR
ENORMOUS WORK IN YOUR COUNTRY
YOUR COMMITMENT TO CALIFORNIA'S
COASTLINE THIS IS A WONDERFUL
BILL AND I'D LOVE TO BE ADDED.
AS A CO AUTHOR IF THAT'S
POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. FURTHER
OUR COMMENTS ARE QUESTIONS. IN
I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SOME
COMMENTS THIS IS THE ONE I HAVE
BILLS OTHER THAN OF COURSE MY
OWN. I FEEL PASSIONATE ABOUT IT
IT IS HARD AS IT IS TO BELIEVE.
IT IS FORTY YEARS AGO THIS
NOVEMBER THAT I WAS FIRST
ELECTED TO CITY OFFICE AND THE
FIRST TWO YEARS OF A COASTAL
TOWN WE HAD A PRESIDENTIALLY
DECLARED DISASTER FOR EROSION.
AND WE HAD A ROUGH TIME AND THE
STATE AT THE TIME REQUIRED. A
MAJOR BEACH AREA IN OUR CITY
AND IT WAS UP TO THE CITY TO
PASS THE DESIGN AND WE DID
SOMETHING THAT ALIENATED A KEY
CONSTITUENCY GROUP IN SANTA
CRUZ OF THE SURFERS BECAUSE WE
WANTED THE ROAD TO BE A HUNDRED
AND FIFTY FEET BACK. WE ENDED
UP DOING IT AND THEN THE FORTY
YEARS SINCE THEN NOW THERE'S
BEEN SIGNIFICANT EROSION. IN
SOME OF THE PLACES EXACTLY. AS
WE PREDICTED AND THEN WHEN I
WAS IN THE LEGISLATURE
200-022-2000 EIGHT THERE WERE
JUST TWO OF US IN ENTIRE SIX
YEARS TO DO THE BILL IN ANY WAY
ON SEA LEVEL RISE AND IT WAS
DESIGNED. OF THE BILL THAT DIED
IN THE SENATE AT THE TIME WAS
DESIGNED TO ASK LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS TO PLANNED FOR
SEA LEVEL RISE AND HALF THE
CONSTITUENCY GROUP SAID. WE
WON'T SUPPORT IT UNLESS THERE'S
A BASELINE IN THE BILL AND THE
OTHER HALF SAID WHAT SUPPORT IF
THERE IS A BASS LINE AND THE
BILL. SO THAT IS WHAT KILLED
THE BILL AND THEN LO AND
BEHOLD. I END UP BEING
RESOURCES SECRETARY IN CHARGE
OF THE SCIENCE THAT ACTUALLY
PROVIDED THE BASELINE FOR
PLANNING. AND. THE SCIENCE WE
APPROVED. ON THE DAY. THAT AND
FOR THE- OCEAN PROTECT COUNCIL
WHICH NINE TO BILL ON THE DAY
THE SUIT. HIT FROM. JAPAN AND
IT REALLY. DESTROYED TWO
HARBORS IN CALIFORNIA ONE WAS
IN MY DISTRICT AND THIS WAS
WHEN THE TIDE WAS OUT BEFORE
SEALEVEL RISE. AND AS I SAID AT
THE TIME C. AUTHORIZES NOT LIKE
A BATHTUB SLOWLY FILLING UP. IT
IS ACTUALLY THE EXTREME OF THAT
IT IS THE TWO YEAR OLD CANNON
BALLING INTO THE BATH TUB AND
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED
WITH THAT TSUNAMI AND THAT'S
EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE TO PLAN
FOR. AND WE DID GUIDANCE TO
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BASED ON THE
SCIENCE WE FUNDED UPDATES AND
LOCAL COASTAL PLAN SO THAT
PEOPLE COULD START TO PLAN FOR
SEA LEVEL RISE. AND AS SENATOR
EGGMAN SAID. THE BETWEEN A TEN
YEAR FLOOD IN THE DELTA. AND A
HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD IN THE DELTA
IS ONE FOOT OF SEA LEVEL RISE
SO THIS IS NOT JUST A COASTAL
ISSUE. AND SO THE QUESTION IS
AS THERE'S BEEN THIS
PROGRESSION IN THE SCIENCE AND
IN THE PLANNING WHAT ARE THE
NEXT STEPS WHAT THE NEXT STEPS
ARE THIS BILL. IT REALLY SETS
IT UP IT SAYS THAT WE REALLY
HAVE TO COLLABORATE UP AND DOWN
THE COAST BECAUSE IT INVOLVES
EVERY BRANCH OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENT. IT INVOLVES ALL
THESE DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES
AND THIS BILL SETS THE
FRAMEWORK FOR MOVING AHEAD AND
MAKING THOSE DECISIONS AND SO.
I'M GOING TO BE PROUD TO
SUPPORT IT I HOPE AT THE
APPROPRIATE TIME I COULD BE A
CO AUTHOR. AND I ALSO NOTED FOR
THE RECORD THAT- YOU HAVE
AGREED TO ADD SENATOR STERN AS
A PRINCIPAL CO AUTHOR. YES AND
IF YES MISTER CHAIRMAN OF
COURSE AND ALSO I'M AWARE THAT
US SENATOR HERTZBERG WOULD LIKE
TO BE ADDED SO BETWEEN THIS
COMMITTEE AND APPROACH TO MAKE
SURE ALL OF THE- RELEVANT
MEMBERS WHO WANT TO BE ADDED
WILL BE ADDED. THANK YOU ANY
FURTHER COMMENTS. ARE YOU WANT
TO COMMENT SENATOR STERN OKAY
GO AHEAD. MADAM SORRY COULDN'T
BE FOR THE PRESENTATION OF
ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION I'VE-
DEFERRED TO ARE SENATE SOURCE
OF WISDOM ON ALL THIS AND SHARE
AT THIS AT THIS POINT THANK YOU
FOR THE INSIGHT AND I WAS GOING
TO FORMALLY HAS TO BE SIGNED ON
BUT I JUST APPRECIATE THE
MEASURE- AND WE'RE GONNA BE
HEARING SB FORTY FIVE RIGHT ON
THE HEELS OF THIS MEASURE I
THINK THOSE ARE WELL PAIRED
THOSE THOSE IT GROUP
INITIATIVES THE PRICE TAG IS
ENORMOUS. I SAY IT'S A T. NOT A
B. THOSE ARE SCARY NUMBERS WHEN
YOU LOOK AT ENTIRE TRAIN SYSTEM
FALLING INTO THE WATER ALL THE
REPAIRS IN YOUR AREA HOURS- SO
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP
HERE AND THINKING BIG BECAUSE
INCREMENTALISM WON'T DEAL WITH
SOMETHING AS BIG AS THE TIDES-
THANKS WELL YOU'LL BACK THANKS
THANK YOU SEEING NO FURTHER
COMMENTS- A TIME YOU. CLOSE
THANK YOU- I WOULD. APPRECIATE
SO MUCH THE COMMENTS AND
CERTAINLY. MISTER CHAIRMAN- IN
THE- THE SEA LEVEL RISE HAS
RISEN ABOUT EIGHT TO NINE
INCHES SINCE EIGHTEEN EIGHTY. A
THIRD OF THAT IN THE LAST TWO
AND A HALF DECADES THAT YOU
MADE REFERENCE TO. AND I WOULD
JUST I WOULD JUST ADD I
APPRECIATE ALL OF THE
INCREDIBLE SUPPORT THAT I HEARD
ON THE PHONE. TELECONFERENCE
FROM A LOT OF OUR FRIENDS IN
BUT I JUST ALSO WANT TO CLOSE
WITH THIS. IN MY OWN COMMUNITY
IN SAN DIEGO THE IMPACT TO OUR
MILITARY INSTALLATIONS WHICH
ARE SIGNIFICANT WE ARE-
OBVIOUSLY THE LARGEST MILITARY
INSTALLATION- IN THE WORLD- IN
CALIFORNIA AND IN SAN DIEGO
COUNTY. OUR WASTE WATER
TREATMENT PLANT OUR CONVENTION
CENTER THE AIRPORT THE RAIL
LINE THAT HAS BEEN MENTIONED.
AND MY COMMUNITY IS SIMILAR TO

COASTLINE. SO THINK ABOUT ALL

CHAIRMAN MEMBERS TODAY I'M
PRESENTING SP FORTY FIVE- BUT I
WANT TO GIVE A SPECIAL SHOUT
OUT TO US SENATORS ALLEN AND
STERN WHO LED THIS CHARGE LAST
YEAR AND WHO ARE- JOINT AUTHORS
WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER SENATORS
SO THANK YOU. FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE- FROM
THE OREGON BORDER TO OUR
SOUTHERN BORDER WITH MEXICO
CALIFORNIA'S ALREADY
EXPERIENCING THE IMPACTS OF
CLIMATE CHANGE WE JUST HEARD.
THE PRO TEM DETAIL SOME OF
THOSE IMPACTS FOR US WE NOW
HAVE AN ETERNAL FIRE SEASON WE
USED TO TALK ABOUT. FIRE SEASON
BEING A CERTAIN CONFINED TO A
CERTAIN NUMBER OF MONTHS AND
COURSE NOW IT'S- TWELVE MONTHS
LONG. WATER SHORTAGES AND
INCREASED DROUGHT MORE SEVERE
FLOODING AND OTHER DISASTROUS
WEATHER EVENTS AND AN
ESCALATING NUMBER OF EXTREME
HEAT DAYS. THAT PUT OUR
RESIDENTS AND OUR
INFRASTRUCTURE AT RISK. THESE
EVENTS ARE ALREADY COSTING
CALIFORNIA BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
EVERY YEAR THAT'S BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS EVERY YEAR IMPACT DUE
TO CLIMATE CHANGE. WE MUST TAKE
BOLD ACTION NOW TO FIND
SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE THESE
EFFECTS TO ADAPT OUR CHANGE TO
OUR CHANGING CLIMATE. DEVELOP
CLIMATE RESILIENCY AND MITIGATE
CLIMATE DISASTERS THAT WILL
SURELY BE AHEAD OF US IF WE SIT
ON OUR HANDS AND DO NOTHING.
TODAY I ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT
FOR SB FORTY FIVE THE WILDFIRE
SAFE DRINKING WATER DROUGHT
PREPARATION AND FLOOD
PROTECTION BOND ACTIVE TWENTY
TWENTY TWO. WHICH WILL PUT A
BALLOT MEASURE BEFORE
CALIFORNIA VOTERS TO FIND THE
SOLUTIONS WE DESPERATELY NEED
TO PROTECT CALIFORNIA FROM
FURTHER RAVAGES OF CLIMATE
CHANGE. WILDFIRES ARE A COMMON
OCCURRENCE IN CALIFORNIA BUT
NOT WHAT NOT LIKE WHAT WE'VE
BEGUN TO EXPERIENCE PROLONGED
DROUGHT AND INCREASED
TEMPERATURES. HAVE KILLED OFF
MILLIONS OF TREES IN THE LAST
DECADE ALONE LEAVING YOU SWATCH
OF HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE TENDER.
RECORD SETTING FIRES IN TWENTY
TWENTY. TOPPED RECORD SETTING
FIRES IN TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN
WHICH TOP RECORD SETTING FIRES
JUST A FEW YEARS PRIOR. MORE
THAN FOUR POINT TWO MILLION
ACRES BURNED IN TWENTY TWENTY
AND THEN THE LAST FOUR YEARS
CALIFORNIA FIRES HAVE KILLED A
HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOUR PEOPLE
DESTROYED FORTY FOUR THOUSAND
STRUCTURES. AND POLLUTED AIR
FOR MILLIONS. WORSE STILL. THE
WILDFIRE CLIMATE FEEDBACK LOOP
IS DEVASTATING CLIMATE CHANGE
TRIGGERS MORE MASSIVE AND MORE
FREQUENT WILDFIRES ANY EXTRA
FIRES DON'T MILLIONS MORE TONS
OF GREENHOUSE GAS INTO THE
ATMOSPHERE. AND WIPE OUT CARBON
SEQUESTERED FARCE DWARFING THE
PROGRESS CALIFORNIA'S MADE
REDUCING EMISSIONS FROM
VEHICLES AND THE ENERGY SECTOR.
SEVERE DROUGHT COUPLED WITH
SOME OF THE HOTTEST YEARS EVER
RECORDED MEANS WITH
PRECIPITATION DOES WHEN
PRECIPITATION DOES FALL IT
COMES DOWN AS RAIN AND RUSHES
TO THE OCEANS INSTEAD OF
LINGERING AT SNOW PACK IN OUR
MAJESTIC SIERRA'S. THIS ISN'T
JUST A PROBLEM FOR SKIERS
HISTORICALLY MUCH OF STATES
FRESH DRINKING MUCH OF THE
STATE'S FRESH DRINKING WATER
COMES FROM THE SLOW TRICKLE OF
MELTING SNOW. OUR STATE PLANS
ASSUME THIS BEAUTIFUL LIFE
FORCE WILL MAKE ITS WAY BACK
INTO OUR ACTUAL FILTERS FOR
YEAR ROUND FRESH WATER THAT
HOLDS US OVER INTO DRY YEARS.
BUT IF THAT SNOW ISN'T THERE
YEAR AFTER YEAR WE HAVE NO WAY
TO ADEQUATELY WOULD CHARGE OUR
GROUNDWATER BASINS. SEALEVEL
RISE AGAIN WE JUST HEARD OF-
ABOUT THAT SEA LEVEL RISE IN
RESULT IN COASTAL FLOODING IS
ALREADY RUNNING CALIFORNIA'S
COASTLINE AND IS EXPECTED TO
THREATEN NEARLY HALF A MILLION
RESIDENTS. A HUNDRED AND FIFTY
BILLION DOLLARS IN PROPERTY AND
THIRTY FIVE. HUNDRED MILES OF
ROADS WITHIN THE NEXT EIGHTY
YEARS WITHOUT ADAPTIVE MEASURES
IN PLACE. IN ADDITION. TO MORE
DROUGHT AND INCREASING SEA
LEVELS CLIMATE CHANGE ALSO
BRINGS US. MORE CONCENTRATED
RAINSTORMS FROM ATMOSPHERIC
RIVERS INSTEAD OF STEADIER
LIGHTER RAIN VASTLY INCREASING
THE FLOOD RISK FOR CALIFORNIA'S
GROWING RURAL AND URBAN
COMMUNITIES THE STATE CURRENTLY
HAS SOME FIVE HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY FIVE BILLION DOLLARS
WORTH OF BUILDINGS SUSCEPTIBLE
TO FLOODING. AND 20% OF THE
STATE'S POPULATION ALREADY
LIVES IN FLOOD PRONE AREAS AND
THESE FIGURES EXCLUDE ESSENTIAL
PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE LIKE
ROADS AIRPORTS AND SEAPORTS.
THE STATE IS INVESTING LESS
THAN HALF OF WHAT IT IS NEEDED
TO PROPERLY ADDRESS THE GROWING
FLOOD RISK FROM THESE MORE
INTENSE WEATHER EVENTS THE COST
TO REPAIR EXISTING LEVY IN
DEFENSE OF FLOOD CONTROL
INFRASTRUCTURE ALONE. IS
EXPECTED TO BE THIRTY FOUR
BILLION DOLLARS PROPER
INVESTMENT IN FLOOD
INFRASTRUCTURE CAN PROTECT
BUILDINGS AND AGRICULTURAL
WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY PRESERVING
ECOSYSTEMS AND WILDLIFE HABITAT.
WE NEED PROJECTS INCLUDING THE
NORTH YUBA RIVER FOREST
RESTORATION PROJECT THAT IS
REMOVING DEBRIS AND INVASIVE
SPECIES AND RESTORING MEADOWS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
DEVASTATING FIRES WHILE
IMPROVING FLOOD CONTROL AND
WATERSHED HEALTH. SB FORTY FIVE
PROPOSES A GENERAL OBLIGATION
BOND TO INJECT MUCH NEEDED
REVENUE TO ADDRESS THESE
IMPACTS THE MEASURE PROPOSES
FUNDS TO REDUCE FIRE RISK AND
RESTORE AREAS THAT ARE ALREADY
DAMAGED RESTORED PROTECT
IMPACTED WETLANDS WATERSHEDS IN
WATERWAYS. REDUCE IMPACTS ON
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS
POPULATIONS AND IMPROVE THE
RESILIENCY OF OUR WATER

CALIFORNIA SPENT MILLIONS OF

WOULD HAVE BEEN UNIMAGINABLE A
DECADE AGO. SB FORTY FIVE
REPRESENTS THE SMARTEST PLAN
YET. FIVE POINT FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS IN GENERAL OBLIGATION
BONDS. THAT ARE INHERENT WITH
THIS LEGISLATION REPRESENT A
COHESIVE COLLABORATIVE AND
COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO
DEALING WITH MODERN DISASTERS.
IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ONLY
CONCENTRATE ON SUPPRESSION
CHECK OUT THE MAKES NO SENSE TO
GET A MARK FUNDING JUST FOR
PREVENTION. WE WILL BE
MONITORING FIVE TRILLION MUCH
NEEDED TO TRY SEVENTY FIVE
MILLION MUCH NEEDED DOLLARS TO
ENHANCE CAL FIRE CAPACITY FOR
FIRE PREVENTION. PEOPLE
MANAGEMENT EMPIRE RESPONSE.
CALIFORNIA WILL BE IN A BETTER
PLACE FOR THE INEVITABLE

DESIGNED TO BE CAREFULLY SPENT
ON UP ON THOSE PROJECTS THAT
MEET OUR FAMILIES AND
BUSINESSES TO CATER. CAL FIRE
LOCAL TWENTY EIGHT EIGHTY ONE

WE GOING TO BRING THE MATTER
BACK BEFORE THE COMMITTEE FOR
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. SENATE
REGNANT. THANK YOU AND GOOD
MORNING CENTER PORTANTINO IT'S
NICE TO SEE YOU AND- TAKING ON
THIS BIG HUGE ISSUE- MY
QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS WILL BE.
ASSOCIATED AND AROUND THE AREA
REPRESENT THE DELTA- SO IN IN
PAST BONDS LANGUAGE HAS BEEN
INCLUDED THAT STATES THAT NO
BOND MONEY CAN BE USED FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION- OF THE CONVEYANCE
PROJECT- AS THE WATER AGENCIES
WHO WILL PROFIT FROM THAT
SHOULD BE THE ONES PAYING FOR
THAT- IN THE PAST WE'VE HAD
THAT LANGUAGE IN EVERY CHAPTER
I DON'T KNOW THAT'S APPROPRIATE
FOR THIS ONE BUT I'D CERTAINLY
CURIOUS. IF YOU WOULD BE
WILLING AND I WOULD HOPE SO TO
INCLUDE LANGUAGE LIKE THAT THAT
NO BOND FINANCING CAN BE USED
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
CONVENIENCE AND THEN SECONDLY I
WONDERING ABOUT OUR LEVEES IN
ORDER WE CAN WE CAN KEEP HIM
OUT SEALEVEL RISE AND
MAINTAINING BUT WE KNOW THAT WE
HAVE A VAST LIBBY SYSTEM THAT
NEEDS TO BE MAINTAINED SO IF
THERE WOULD BE- FUNDING AND
THEREFORE OUR LEVEE SYSTEM AND
BEING ABLE TO GET IT UP TO
EXISTING FEDERAL STANDARDS
WHICH MOST OF OUR LEVEES DO NOT
MEET EXISTING FEDERAL STANDARDS
RIGHT NOW. AND MANY OF OUR
COMMUNITIES ARE IN THE POSITION
TO BE ABLE TO FULLY FUND THAT
THEMSELVES SO OF COURSE AROUND.
LANGUAGE THAT- AND THEN AND
I'LL ALSO ADD THAT THE LEVEES
ARE MORE THAN THE YELLOW BYPASS
PROJECT. BUT DOWN INTO THE
DELTA AND THEN BY FINAL
QUESTION AROUND THAT IS AROUND-
INVASIVE SPECIES- AND IF
THEY'LL BE MONEY FOR THAT WE
HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM. WITH THAT
NUTRIA BURTON BURROWING INTO
OUR LEVEES AND- AT. WEAKENING
THEM. AND THEN AT THE SAME TIME
WITH WITH A CLICK CLIMATE
CHANGE WE AS AS YOU KNOW HAVE
EXPERIENCE. REALLY HIGH HEAT-
BIN THEN BECAUSE- BECAUSE OF
THE NATURE OF THE DELTA. WE
HAVE AN ABUNDANCE OF- WATER
HYACINTH BACKLOGS WE HAVE AN
ABUNDANCE OF ALGAE THAT REALLY
TAKES BROUGH IN THE SUMMERTIME.
MAKING IT THAT WATER TOXIC- FOR
KIDS FOR ANIMALS FOR EVERYBODY
WHO TOUCHES IT. SO MY THREE
YEAR IT'S ALL AROUND THE DELTA.
I HAD NO COULD NO MONEY FOR
CONVENIENCE- DELIVERY SYSTEM
AND THEN THE IDEA OF- INVASIVE.
SPECIES BOTH FLORA AND FAUNA.
GREAT- SO AS FAR AS THE ONE
GOESI MET WITH THE FIVE
COUNTY- DELEGATION THEY MENTION
THE SAME CONCEPT I ASKED THEM
TO SUPPLY THE LANGUAGE AND THEN
I WOULD SEND IT TO THE
COMMITTEE- TO MAKE. IT THE
DELTA NEUTRAL- I DIDN'T SAY A
100% BECAUSE I HAD TO RUN IT
THROUGH THE THROUGH THE
COMMITTEE I'M WAITING FOR THE
COMMITTEE TO GET BACK TO ME. IF
IT IS SOMETHING STANDARD THAT'S
AND EVERYBODY I DON'T SEE AN
ISSUE WITH IT BUT I. JUST WANT
TO SEE THE LANGUAGE TO MAKE
SURE IT'S CONSISTENT WITH
WHAT'S BEEN AND PASS BONDS AND
HAVE THE STAKEHOLDERS COME
TOGETHER TO DISCUSS IT SO. IN
PRINCIPLE I'D SAY YES BUT IN
PRACTICE I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT I GOT ALL MY EYES AND- DOT
ACROSS ON MY TEASE BEFORE I SAY
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. ON THAT
BUT YES IT'S GOING THROUGH THE
RIGHT SYSTEM. ON THE LEVEES
OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THIS BOND IS REGIONAL AS
IT AS POSSIBLE WE HAVE A
CERTAIN FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS
THAT WE HAVE TO STAY WITH- SO.
AGAIN WITHIN THE FINANCIAL
CONSTRAINTS THAT WE HAVE I
CERTAINLY AM OPEN TO INCLUDING
BRINGING UP THE LEVEES AS MUCH
AS POSSIBLE YOU KNOW I LIVE IN
WEST SAC AND I. WALK ON THE
LEVEES OR RIDE MY BIKE ON THE
LEVEES EVERY DAY AND SO- I
SHARE YOUR CONCERN ABOUT THE
LEVY SO. AS LONG AS IT FITS
INTO OUR FIVE FINANCIAL
CONSTRUCT I DON'T SEE ANY ISSUE.
MISTER ALAN DO YOU SEE ANY
ISSUE WITH THAT. I THE LEVEES
I'M IT'S MORE OF A FINANCE
ISSUE THAN. BEEN A FOR. ISSUE
SO WITH. RUN THAT THROUGH A-
THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND ON THE
INVASIVE SPECIES. AGAIN I. BEEN
CONCEPT AGREED THAT WE NEEDED
TO ADDRESS THAT AND IF YOU HAVE
SPECIFIC LANGUAGE YOU WANT TO
ADD. YEAH BRING IT TO US AND
I'LL CERTAINLY BRING IT BACK TO
THAT TODAY STAKEHOLDERS AND
WOULD LOVE YOUR INPUT. FURTHER
ON ANYTHING ELSE THAT COMES UP
IN TASTIC AT THIS IS THIS IS
IMPORTANT WORK AND UPGRADE IT
AND THEN LIKE I SAY IT CONCEPT
I SUPPORT ALL OF IT AND AS WE
GET THE DETAILS WORKED OUT AND-
THEN WE'LL SEE AS AS WE GO
FORWARD. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU
THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS.
TURN AROUND I MEAN I HAVE TO GO
BACK AND FIND IT BUT I KNOW
THERE IS SOME MONEY IN THE BEEN
THERE FOR LEVEES ALL ALL ON. IT
WHETHER IT'S UP TO THE FEDERAL
STANDARD OR NOT THAT'S THE
PIECE I DON'T KNOW. MONEY IN
THERE BUT HOW MUCH. AND HOW
MUCH WE CAN GET. THAT'S THAT
THAT'S THE QUESTION. WELL I.
GET THE COMMENT. THE IF. ARMY
CORPS OF. APPROVES OF PRO. IN
ITS JUST QUESTION OF WHETHER.
OF FUNDS ARE IN THIS MEASURE
THAT ARE ALLOWED TO MATCH IT.
AND SO. THE ARMY CORPS OF
ENGINEERS WILL DETERMINE
WHETHER IT MEETS THE STANDARD
AND- I WOULD ALSO JUST. AS A
NEUTRAL. ON THIS ONE JUST
OFFERED THAT A LEVY BOND
MEASURE WAS DONE PROP ONE
EIGHTY IN TWO THOUSAND SIX. AND
THE AMOUNT OF IT WAS BEFORE I
RECALL ABOUT A THIRD OR HALF
FOR SOME AMOUNT OF MONEY OF
THIS TOTAL BOND SO I DON'T
THINK THERE SHOULD BE AN
EXPECTATION THAT IF THERE'S ANY
LEVY MONEY IN HERE. IT'S GOING
TO BE SIGNIFICANT TOWARD WHAT
THE NEED THIS. SENATOR ON I
WANT THANKS CALIFORNIA I MOVED
FROM OF THE BILL. WE HAVE A
MOTION IS THERE ARE THERE
FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS. THIS
SING NINE THAN SENATOR

FOUR SENATOR PER TANTO OIL AND
GAS WELLS CENTER ROTANA WELCOME
TO THE COMMITTEE. AT GOOD
MORNING MR CHAIRED MEMBERS OF
THIS COMMITTEE. I'D LIKE TO
START A BY A STEP IN THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS REFLECT ON
PAGES SIX AND SEVEN OF THE NOW
SIS. AND TO THINK THE COMMITTEE
STAFF AND THE CHAIR FOR WORKING
WITH ME ON THIS BILL.
COLLEAGUES IN JANUARY OF LAST
YEAR THE KERN COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS HAD A HEARING. ON
THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
REGULATIONS. SUPERVISOR
SCRIVNER SAID SOMETHING DURING
THIS HEARING THAT LED ME TO
DRAFTING THIS BILL HE SAID.
CALDERON IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
OLDER WELLS AND I WANT TO SEE
MORE MONEY SENT TO US FROM
ORPHANED WELLS AND ABANDONMENT
PROGRAM. I UNDERSTAND A LOT OF
MONEY IS BEING SPENT ON COASTAL
COUNTIES ON THAT PROGRAM AND
YET AGAIN. BUT THE MONEY COMES
FROM THE KERN COUNTY
BUSINESSES. SO WE NEED MORE OF
THAT TO BE HERE. SB EIGHTY FOUR
IS NOT ABOUT OIL OR AND OR
ENVIRONMENTALISTS THIS BILL IS
ABOUT EQUITY FOR PEOPLE WHO
HAVE LONG BEEN LEFT BEHIND. IT
IS ABOUT REAL ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE. THIS IS A REPUBLICAN
ISSUE ANY DEMOCRATS ISSUE
BECAUSE IMPROVED AIR QUALITY IS
GOOD FOR EVERYONE'S HEALTH.
THIS BILL IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE
LIVING IN THE NATION'S MOST
POLLUTED REGION AND MAKING SURE
THAT THEY HAVE EQUAL ACCESS TO
REMEDIATION FUNDS AS THEY DO IN
COASTAL COMMUNITIES. WITH THAT
SAID SB EIGHTY FOUR REQUIRES
ENHANCED REPORTING RELATIVE TO
HAZARDOUS LONG TERM IDOL AN
ORPHAN WELLS. TODAY THERE ARE
POSSIBLY A HUNDRED AND SEVEN
THOUSAND ACTIVE OR IDLE OIL AND
GAS WELLS IN CALIFORNIA. THE
MAJORITY OF THE STATE'S OIL AND
GAS DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION
OF CURVES AND THE SOUTHERN
CENTRAL VALLEY. IN THE
COMMUNITIES OF THIS REGION A
NUMBER OF LONG TERM IDLE AND
ABANDONED OIL WELLS THAT ARE
NOT PROPERLY DID COME
DECOMMISSIONED CONTRIBUTE TO
LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH AND
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. THE STATE
HAS ENACTED LEGISLATION TO
ADDRESS AND PROVIDE FUNDING FOR
THE REMEDIATION OF LONG TERM
IDOL AN ORPHAN WELLS ALONG THE
COAST AND DOES REQUIRE
OPERATORS TO PAY FEAR SUBMIT A
PLAN TO ADDRESS THEIR IDOLS.
THERE IS A LACK OF INFORMATION
ON WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THESE
WELLS ARE LOCATED IN THE STATE.
SB EIGHTY FOUR PROVIDES MUCH
NEEDED TRANSPARENCY
TRANSPARENCY AROUND ORPHAN WELL
REMEDIATION AND GIVES US A
BETTER PICTURE OF WHAT EQUITY
AND WATER REMEDIATION CAN AND
SHOULD LOOK LIKE. THANK YOU AND
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH OR WE
HAVE NO LISTED- LEAD WITNESSES
IN SUPPORT SO WE WILL GO TO.
BORROW WITNESSES. FOR A NAY MAN

THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH
MODERATOR DISSECTING TO AND
QUEUE. YES IT. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH- THE AND NOW IT'S BACK IN
OF THE FOR OR COMMENTS. YES SIR
GROVE THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR-
AND TO THE AUTHOR MISTER SADDAM
I SUPPORTED THIS BILL LAST YEAR
AND LET THE SENATE FLOOR AND
THEN YOU- TOOK SOME AMENDMENTS.
ON THE ASSEMBLY SITE THAT-
WOULD HAVE REMOVED MY SUPPORT
BECAUSE- THE BILL LAST YEAR THE
WAY IT WAS WOULD NOT ADDRESS
THE ISSUE WITH I'D WELLS WHICH
WE NEED TO ADDRESS. ESPECIALLY
IN KERN COUNTY WE OF THIS WE
PRODUCE 75% OF THE STATE'S OIL
IN. OIL AND GAS INDUSTRIES IN
KERN COUNTY WHICH YOU'RE A PART
OF- THE REPRESENTATION IN IT
THE ITEM WILL ISSUE DOES NEED
TO BE ADDRESSED BUT YOUR BILL
JUST EXACERBATES THE PROBLEM. A
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS ARE THE
MAJOR PROBLEM WE HAVE IS WE
NEED PERMITS AND TO BE ISSUED
FROM CAL JAM TO BE ABLE TO-
ADDRESS SEASIDE WELLS AND A
FAIR PRICE NEEDS TO BE PAID. I
KNOW THAT- A LOT OF OPERATORS
THAT GO INTO- FIX SEASIDE WELLS
AND APPROPRIATE- PROPERLY
DISPOSE OF THEM OR TO SEAL THE
UP. AND TO GET A PERMIT OR A
CHANGE PERMIT FROM CAL JIM IS
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AND IT TAKES
TIME. AND WHEN YOU HAVE A QUICK
MEANT AND EVERYTHING ON THE JOB
AND WHEN YOU GET INTO THE
GROUND AND YOU FIND A PIECE OF
METAL AND METAL WASN'T PART OF
THE PERMIT TO REMOVE YOU HAVE
TO CALL CAL JAM. GET
AUTHORIZATION THAT TAKES WEEKS
PEOPLE ARE STUCK ON THE JOB
THEY'RE PAYING PEOPLE TO NOT DO
A JOB SO THE PROBLEM IS CAL
JIM. AS FAR AS THE PERMIT
PROCESS GOES IN ORDER TO HELP-
WELLS BE CLOSED OUT- I DID WAS
TO BE CLOSED OUT PROPERLY. THE
OTHER PART THAT WE HAVE AS A-
IN QUE JIM. THAT AND- YOU KNOW
THERE ARE OPERATORS OUT THERE
THAT ARE WILLING TO TAKE ON
CERTAIN LEASES LIKE I'VE AN
OPERATOR NOW IN KERN COUNTY
THAT'S WAITED. ALMOST TWO
YEARS. TO TAKE ON A LEASE THAT
WAS ABANDONED BY A PRIOR
OPERATOR AND TO OPERATE THAT
LEASE- WELL AND WITHIN THE
BOUNDARIES IN THE
ENVIRONMENTAL. OF POLICIES
THAT- THE- CALIFORNIA. REQUIRES
A IN THIS OPERATOR IS GOING TO
EXTENT TO. OBTAIN PERMITS FROM
CAL JAM WHICH TWO YEARS IS
STILL NOT PROVIDED TO THIS
OPERATOR- I'M ENGAGED IN THAT
PROCESS NOW BECAUSE NOW THE-
THE LAWFUL LEGAL OPERATOR THAT
WOULD DO A GREAT JOB OPERATING
THESE WELLS WERE ABANDONED. IS
THROWING HIS HANDS UP AND GONE
LOOK I GET WITH THIS FOR TWO
YEARS I'M DONE- SO IT IS VERY
FRUSTRATING SO THE SOLUTION IS
TO FIX WHAT'S GOING ON AT CAL
JAM. AND NOT TO PUT FORTH A
BILL- AND I'M JUST BEING HONEST
WITH YOU NOT TO PUT FORTH A
BILL THAT- IN THE BEGINNING.
DID DO SOMETHING TO HELP IT
REALLY DID THE BILL YOU FOR
SUBMITTED IN THE LEGISLATURE ON
THE SENATE SIDE THAT WE VOTED
FOR AND SUPPORTED. LAST YEAR
DID DO SOMETHING TO HELP AT
LEAST IT MOVE THE BALL A LITTLE
BIT FORWARD TO WHERE RESOURCES
WILL GO BACK TO KERN COUNTY.
AND OPERATORS COULD BE PAID
EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T GET THE
PART THE PERMITS. FROM CAL JIM
OR THEY WERE DELAYED IN THE
PROCESS. IT'S JUST A BACKLOG IN
CALCIUM. AND SO. AND THEN YOU
TOOK AMENDMENTS ON THE ASSEMBLY
SIDE UNDER PRESSURE I'M SURE
WHICH REMOVED- INDUSTRY
OPPOSITION AND I VOTED NO WHEN
IT CAME BACK TO THE SENATE
FLOOR. I DIDN'T COME BACK TO
SIMPLER BUT I WOULD HAVE VOTED
NO. AND BECAUSE IT DID IT JUST
FURTHER EXACERBATED THE
PROCESS. AND SO ON. I HAVE TO
DEPRIVE TO NOT SUPPORT THE BILL
TODAY BECAUSE I THINK IT JUST
FURTHER EXACERBATES A PROCESS.
IT DOESN'T IT DOESN'T FIX THE
SITUATION THAT WE HAVE. AND IF
THE GOAL WHICH I THINK IS A
GOOD GOAL IS TO SHUT DOWN THESE
IDLE WELLS OR HAVE GOOD
OPERATORS TAKE OVER THESE IDLE
WELLS. AND PRODUCE THE ENERGY
SAFELY NUMBER EMILY FRIENDLY.
IN CALIFORNIA INSTEAD OF IN
VENEZUELA OR OTHER FOREIGN
COUNTRIES THAT HAVE DISMAL
HUMAN RIGHTS. AND POLICIES AND
HORRIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL
POLICIES. AND KEEP JOBS HERE
KEEP DOMESTIC ENERGY HERE. AS
IF THAT'S THE GOAL THAT WE HAVE
TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES AND CAL
JIM WITH THE PERMIT PROCESS
AND- ON IDOL WELL PROCESSES
WELL. BECAUSE THERE ARE GOOD
OPERATORS OUT THERE THAT WANT
TO TAKE OVER IDLE WELLS. AND
FIX THINGS- BUT THE BACKLOG IS
IN IN CAL JIM. AND- SO. I'M
SORRY BUT IT REPRESENTING KERN
COUNTY AND- RESHARE. BILL YOU
KNOW WE'RE TRYING TO BRING
MONEY BACK TO THE DISTRICT BUT-
YOU CAN BRING ALL THE MONEY IN
THE WORLD BACK TO THE DISTRICT
BUT THEY CAN'T GET A PERMIT TO
CLOSE DOWN AYE WELL IT'S NOT
GONNA HAPPEN. THE CIVIC CENTER
WOULD YOU LIKE TO DRESS AND
YOU'RE CLOSE. DISH YES
ABSOLUTELY OKAY CENTER OUR PART
I'M IN A DIFFERENT I'M JUST.
WELL UNLESS I'M
MISUNDERSTANDING SOMETHING THE
AMENDMENTS THAT WERE TAKEN- I
AGREE THAT IS- IN THE ORIGINAL
VERSION WHERE THEY TALKED ABOUT
BACK COLLEGE AND HAVING TO TAKE
REASONABLE EFFORTS TO FIND
THEIR LEVEL PARTY. AND DID IT
WOULD HAVE EXACERBATED THE
PROBLEM BUT YOU KNOW BUT BUT
NOW NOW- BECAUSE THAT WOULD
HAVE ALLOWED THEM TO LITIGATING
KEEP RIGHT ON THE PAN AM WELLS
OPEN LONGER AND- BUT NOW NOW
THE BILL JUST REQUIRES
REPORTING ABOUT HOW THE PROCESS
IS GOING SO I. IT WHICH OF
COURSE IT HELPS TO. KEEP THINGS
MOVING SO I GUESS I'M- I'M NOT
SEEING HOW THIS EXACERBATES THE
PROBLEM THAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT CENTER AT A GIVEN THE
CHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE TO
THE BILL TODAY. ASKING ME THAT
QUESTION. FARMS BOB. BASHARA
FUTURE OKAY SO I'M IN A I'M
HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP WITH
INDUSTRY AND TO COMMUNICATING
WITH INDUSTRY THEY SEE IT ON
THE GROUND I MEAN I DON'T
OPERATE WELL YOU DON'T OPERATE
WELL BUT INDUSTRY SEES THIS IS
AN EXACERBATIONS OF THE PROBLEM
THE PROBLEM TO ADDRESS SEASIDE
WELLS AND SOLVE CALIFORNIA'S
PROBLEM ABOUT THE IDOLS ARE
HERE IS TO GET PERMITS OUT OF-
TO PROVIDE RESOURCES FOR PEOPLE
TO COME IN AND SHUT THESE WELLS
DOWN. AND IT'S A VERY UNIQUE
SKILL THERE AREN'T VERY MANY
PEOPLE IN THE STATE HAT DO
THIS TO PROVIDE RESOURCES THAT
SHOULD BE ALLOCATED TO DOCTOR
TO SHUT THESE WELLS DOWN WHICH
WOULD ALLOCATED IN THE PAST AND
ALSO A LITTLE DARKER DARKER
PROVIDE PERMITS SO THE PROBLEM
IS THAT WE'VE AND I WORKED WITH
CAL JIM NOT DOCTOR SKIS ME CAL
JIM. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS
WHERE OPERATORS HAVE COME INTO
SHUT DOWN THESE WELLS AND DO IT
BUT WHEN THEY GET INTO THE
GROUND THEY FIND THESE WELLS
THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE GROUND
FOR A HUNDRED YEARS THAT HAVE
METAL AND JUST ALL THE STUFF
THAT THEY USED TO PLUG THE
WELLS BEFORE WE HAD
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS THAT DID DID
AN REGULATED THIS IN SO. THEY
CAN'T GET THE- PROCESS THROUGH.
CAL JAM IN ORDER TO GET THE
PERMIT TO ADJUST TO. TO REMOVE
THE METAL TO- YOU KNOW TO
ADJUST FOR THE WHAT THEY FIND
IN THE GROUND. AND SO ON I'M
RELYING ON INDUSTRY H TRUST
IN THERE THAT SAYS IT'S GOING
TO EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM. WHAT
ABOUT THIS EXACERBATES THE
PROBLEM. WHAT A PARTICULAR
ABOUT THIS BILL ADDRESSES THE
PROBLEM. SO THAT THE PREVIOUS
BILL IS WHAT IS SHE WAS WHEN
SHE TOOK THE AMENDMENTS ON THE
ASSEMBLY SIDE. AND WHAT ABOUT
THIS ONE PROCESS OF THIS BILL
IN THE PROCESS DOESN'T. BUT
WITH THE AMENDMENTS THAT WE
ANTICIPATE THIS WILL TAKE ON
THE ASSEMBLY SIDE. WHEN SHE
GIVES A WORD THAT SHE'S NOT
WE'RE STILL GONNA HAVE A
PROBLEM. BUT WHAT I'M TELLING
YOU IS IT OKAY EXACERBATIONS
FOR YOUR WARNING HER ABOUT. SO
YOU HAVE A PROBLEM OF THE BILL
NOW BUT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT
WHAT IT MIGHT TURN INTO LATER.
YES WORD THE SAME ISSUE THAT WE
FACE THE OPPOSITION BASED. IS
IT SHE TOOK AMENDMENTS THE
AUTHOR TOOK AMENDMENTS. AFTER
WE VOTED ON THE BILL- AND THEN
SHE RETOOK AMENDMENTS BACK ON
THE SET TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE
BILL WHICH WE HAD WHICH- EGGS.
YOU KNOW FRUSTRATED THE
OPPOSITION- WHICH WAS CLEARLY
STATED IN THE TESTIMONY. AND SO
THIS BILL AS IS. EVEN WITH THE
REPORTING PROCESS DOES NOT. FIX
THE PROBLEM. THE IT DOES FIX
THE BILL THE- WHAT WE NEED TO
SORT OF MAKE POINTS AND BE ABLE
TO MOVE ON THE SO. IS THERE ANY
FURTHER ON THIS THE GOAL IS TO
CLOSE DOWN IDLE WELLS IN THIS
BILL DOES NOT DO THAT AND IT
DOESN'T HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN
OKAY. I FACE OKAY THAT I THAT I
MISSED DROWNED IF YOU JUST HAVE
A COMMENT YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE
THAT'S NOT A QUESTION OF
SOMETIMES I JUST RESPECTFULLY
DISAGREE FIVE EXACTLY DISAGREE.
OKAY ANY OTHER QUESTION OR
COMMENTS MR TRUMP THANK YOU MR
CHAIRMAN I. ENJOYED THE
SPECTATOR. POSITION OF THE
DEBATE OVER THERE SO YOU ARE
ONLY SPEAKING FOR YOURSELF THAT
YEAH I'M- YES I AM ONLY
SPEAKING FOR MYSELF ACTUALLY
HOW WE DO IT HERE YEAH-
ACTUALLY THAT'S THE ONLY THAT'S
NOT UNHEALTHY THING TO HAVE
THAT YOU KNOW THAT KIND OF
CONVERSATION OUT LOUD SO THAT.
THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS THAT WE
ACTUALLY DO- DEBATE THESE
THINGS AND GET INTO A WOMAN AND
REALLY PAID PARTICULAR
ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS AND
STUFF SO. ACERTAR I WAS.
PREPARED TO VOTE FOR YOUR BILL
TODAY BUT- BASED ON THE-
CONVERSATION OF AMENDMENTS
COMING AND- YOU KNOW NOT I
DON'T HAVE AN ANALYSIS ON THOSE
POTENTIAL AMENDMENTS- MY
RECOMMENDATION TO THE CHAIRS
THAT WE HOLD THE BILL IN
COMMITTEE- LET THOSE AMENDMENTS
GET. PUT INTO THE BILL AND
LET'S BRING IT BACK IN A WEEK
OR TWO- OTHER THAN THAT- I'M
GONNA HAVE TO LAY OFF TODAY SO.
K. FOR THE COMMENTS. JUST
BEFORE WE CLOSE LET. R. FOUR I
APOLOGIZE SENATOR LEE MON.
TWENTY RECOGNIZE YOU. THANK YOU
CHAIR I APPRECIATE THE
CONVERSATION THAT IS TAKING
PLACE I DO SOME WORK AROUND
THIS PIECE AND I THINK I WANT.
THAT RECOGNIZE THAT AT. THE
CENTER FROM THE CENTRAL VALLEY
MENTIONED THE PROBLEM IS NOT
JUST ON THE COAST ALTHOUGH I
REPRESENT THE COAST AND WE HAVE
A NUMBER OF THE BAND DIDN'T
WORK AND WELLS I'M IN THE
DISTRICTI REPRESENT TO AYE
ABSOLUTELY IT IS NOT LIMITED OR
RESTRICTED TO A PROBLEM ON THE
COAST SO I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT. I WAS PREPARED TO ALSO
LAY OFF FOR DIFFERENT REASONS
BUT WITH THE AUTHORS THAT SHE
WILL BE. AMENDMENT I WILL BE
SUPPORTING IT I THINK WE'RE ALL
LOOKING AT AMENDMENTS LIKE. BUT
I THINK. EVEN THOUGH I MYSELF
SOMETIMES AT IN OPPOSITE
PERSPECTIVE AS SOME OF MY
COLLEAGUES TO BUY TALK TO EIGHT
DO YOU WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT I
THINK I'VE HEARD BOTH SIDES OF
THIS PERSPECTIVE I'M SURE THERE
ONE THAT THE IMPACT OF IDLE AND
ABANDONED AND ORPHANED WELLS I
HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
AND TO THAT WE AGREE THAT THERE
IS- A BACKLOG. ADD TO ASK HOW
CHEN AND SO I WANT TO RECOGNIZE
THOSE TWO POINTS I THINK WE
OFTEN FIND OURSELVES AT
OPPOSITE SIDES OF THIS ISSUE-
AND THE PERSPECTIVE I DON'T
THINK THAT THIS IS A PARTISAN
ISSUE I THINK IT'S A
PERSPECTIVE- IT'S A LIVED
EXPERIENCE FOR ME- OF THE
DISTRICT I REPRESENT AS I KNOW
IT IS FOR COLLEAGUES I'M IN AND
THE CENTRAL VALLEY BUT I AM
GOING TO BE SUPPORTING THE
BILL- AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN
ALSO REMEMBER. THE TWO THINGS
WE FOUND IN COMMON TODAY- THAT
THERE IS AN IMPACT TO HEALTH
AND ENVIRONMENT OF THE BAND IN
AN ORPHAN WELLS THAT ARE NOT
READY TO PROPERLY- AND ALSO
THAT WE WANT TO DO MORE TO
ALLOW CALTRAIN. TO TACKLE THIS
PROBLEM AND NOT SEE THE BACKLOG
THAT WE HAVE SEEN. SO I WILL BE
SUPPORTING THIS BILL TODAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SAN BE WE
WILL GO TO A CLUB OUR TO MAKE A
COMMENT AND THAT IS IT. WHEN
CENTER GROVE SLIPPED AND USED
TO WORK DOGGART IT WAS DELAYED
POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS FOR ME.
BECAUSE I SUPERVISED ORDER FOR
EIGHT YEARS. AND THE- THE ISSUE
THAT SENATOR LA MON JUST
OUTLINED SWELL IS PROFOUND IF-
WE HAD ABANDONED AND ORPHANED
WELLS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE
MONUMENTAL COST TO THE
TAXPAYERS. IN ADDITION TO THE
ENVIRONMENTAL THREAT THAT COMES
FROM THEM AND SO I SALUTE
SENATOR HER TADO FOR TAKING
THIS ON AND I THINK. THE
AMENDMENTS MAKE THIS BILL
BETTER WE WILL ALL BE LOOKING
AT IT AS IT MOVES ALONG TO MAKE
SURE THAT ADDRESSES THOSE
ISSUES. AND TO SENATOR GROVE
LET ME JUST TELL YOU. ONE OF
THE MOST AMUSING MOMENTS FOR ME
DURING MY TIME IN THE STATE
ASSEMBLY. WAS WHEN THEN
ASSEMBLY MEMBER KEVIN MCCARTY
STOOD UP. AND AUTHORED A BILL
TO RAISE FEES IN THIS AREA. AND
IT WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS SLOWER
REGULATION THE INDUSTRY PAID
THE FEES WHEN THEY PAID THE
FEES IT WOULD MOVE THE PROCESS
ALONG. BUT I ASKED HIM IF HE
WOULD YIELD FOR A QUESTION AND
ASK THEM IF THIS WAS THE FIRST
OF MANY FEE BILLS THAT HE WAS
GOING TO PUT ON THE FLOOR OF
THE ASSEMBLY CAN. HE BLUSHED IT
DIDN'T WANT TO ANSWER BUT IT
WAS BECAUSE OF THIS PRECISE
ISSUE THAT HE HAD TO MOVE ALONG
TO FEES TO MOVE ALONG TO
REGULATION TO MAKE SURE THAT
IT. THAT IT HAPPENED AND I
THINK IT HAS TO BE NOTED THAT
IT IS THE INDUSTRY. THAT PAYS
FOR THE REGULATORY PROCESS AND
IF THEY DON'T PAY ENOUGH THEY
DON'T GET THE REGULATORY
PROCESS TO BE ALLOWED TO DO IT
AND SO ALL THOSE THINGS ARE
GOING TO BE WRAPPED UP IN THIS
BILL AND THAT'S WHY. I SAID THE
CENTER FOR BE WILLING TO TAKE
IT ON. OUR OWN IS THERE A
MOTION ON THIS BILL OUR MOTION
BY AIKMAN. OF THAN WHAT. OF THE
SECRETARY PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

FORTY SEVEN CREATIVE.
CONTRIBUTION TO THE STATE
INCOME TAX TO HELP PROVIDE A
CONSISTENT SOURCE OF FUNDING TO
CAL FIRE'S URBAN AND COMMUNITY
FORESTRY PROGRAM WITH A SPECIAL
FOCUS ON SMALL URBANIZED
COMMUNITIES THAT LACK.
GOVERNMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE
NEEDED TO PROVIDE FOR THE LONG
TERM CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF
SHADE TREES THIS BECAME A- A
REAL ISSUE FOR ME IS HOW WAS
CAMPAIGNING IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY. IN THE SUMMER AND IT
GETS TO A HUNDRED AND TEN
DEGREES- I HAVE. TWENTY SEVEN
CITIES IN MY DISTRICT BUT
TWENTY FOUR OF THEM THAT ARE
SMALL. URBANIZED AREAS BUT- ARE
POOR FARMWORKERS COMMUNITIES
AND BOTTOM LINE IS THEY DON'T
HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN
PLACE. TO BE ABLE TO REQUIRE.
THE PLANTING OF TREES AS PART
OF THEIR URBAN FORESTRY- NEEDS
AND YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE
THE HEAT ISLANDS ARE JUST
INCREDIBLY INTENSE. URBAN TREES
COVER CANNOT COVER CANOPIES
VARY WIDELY ACROSS THE STATE
AND YOU HAVE A GREAT- LIST OF
THE KINDS OF. OF COVERAGE YOU
GET IN DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES
ALL OVER THE STATE AND IT'S
PRETTY CLEAR THE DISADVANTAGED
AND LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES AND
COUNTY AN INCORPORATED THERE IS
HAVE LESS CANOPY. CANOPY COVER
THAN OTHER COMMUNITIES DUE TO
THE COST OF TREE CARE IN THE
INABILITY TO MANAGE TREES AT
CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE. THESE
COMMUNITY STRUGGLE TO FIND AND
MAINTAIN THEIR URBAN FORESTRY
PROGRAMS LEADING TO THE
INEQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS AND
SUFFER FROM GREATER URBAN HEAT
ISLAND EFFECTS AND WORST AIR
POLLUTION. CALIFORNIA'S URBAN
FORESTS FACE MULTIPLE
CHALLENGES SUCH AS INVASIVE
PEST CONTROL BUT THE ISSUE THAT
SB THREE FORTY SEVEN ADDRESSES
IS THE SIMPLE FACT. THE TREE
PLANTING PROGRAMS COME AT A
COST. IN THE COMMUNITIES IN
GREATEST NEED OF TREES HAVE
SCARCE RESOURCES TO INVEST IN
TREES AS INFRASTRUCTURE.
FORTUNATELY CALIFORNIA'S URBAN
AND CALIFORNIA FOREST PROGRAM
WORKS WITH NINE GOVERNMENTAL
ORGAN. AND THEY'RE REALLY THAT
THE- THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WE
WANT TO HELP SALAS TO HELP TO
SOLVE THIS ON THE TAX FORM-

VERY MUCH QUESTIONS COMMENTS
FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS. A
SENATOR JONES. THANK YOU TOM
CENTER I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A
VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTION TO THE
INCOME TAX RETURN FORM- IN
THERE ISN'T ALREADY NINETEEN
OTHER. CHECK OFFS ON THAT FORM
ARE YOU CONCERNED THAT- THIS IS
GOING TO GET LOST IN THAT.
MORASS OF ALREADY CHECK OFFS.
THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THAT
QUESTION SENATOR- THAT THE WAY
THAT THE CHECK OFF SYSTEM WORKS
IS THAT IF YOU DON'T RATE IF
YOU DON'T RAISE ENOUGH MONEY-
AND I BELIEVE THAT CUT OFFICE
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS YOU
LOSE YOUR PLACE IN LINE AND SO-
BY I WOULD BE WORRIED IF I
DIDN'T HAVE THE BACKING OF A
NUMBER OF TREE ORGANIZATIONS
THAT ARE WILLING TO GO OUT AND
URGE THEIR MEMBERSHIPS TO MAKE
VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS. OKAY
AND THEN JUST A FOLLOW UP OF
AYE MATE GERMAN OPERATE A
REGARDING THE FUNDING YOU KNOW
IF YOU'RE RAISES TWO HUNDRED
FIFTY THOUSAND AND I'M- OUR
ANALYSIS IS SHOWING MAYBE UP TO
SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND. URBAN
FORESTRY IS ALREADY RECEIVING A
LOT OF MONEY FROM. PROPOSITION
SIXTY EIGHT. FIFTEEN MILLION
DOLLARS- FROM- IN. NINETEEN TWO
THOUSAND NINETEEN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN AND A HALF MILLION
DOLLARS. AND THEN- IN THE
PRIOR- BOND BILL THAT TIME MR
PORTANTINO IS PROPOSING-
THERE'S A TWENTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS IN THAT- FOR URBAN
FORESTRY. AND SO- MAYBE YOU
WANT TO TALK TO YOU KNOW HOW
DOES HOW DOES TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
GRAND OR FIVE HUNDRED GRAND
MAKE A DIFFERENCE WHEN THEY'RE
ALREADY GETTING. MULTIPLE I
TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS A
YEAR. WELL THE THIS IS PRODUCE
SPECIFIC IT SPECIFICALLY FOR
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES IS
THE IS THE INTEREST IN THE
FOCUS. THE G. R. G. MONEY IS A
BASS LEADS- PROPOSITION SIXTY
EIGHT IS GETTING THE END. TO
THE END OF ITS USEFUL LIFE IS
WHAT I UNDERSTAND. SO NEW BOND
MONEY IS GREAT BUT IT'S-
USUALLY ONE TIME FUNDS AND ONCE
IT'S USED THE- THERE'S NO
OTHER- FUNDING SOURCE I LOOK AT
THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY. TO HAVE
CONTINUAL FUNDING. AND IT'S NOT
A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY BUT IT
IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT CAN
BE DEPENDED ON TO MAKE THE
COMMITMENT TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
BECAUSE- IT'S NOT JUST PLANTING
THE TREE IT'S GIVING THEM MONEY
SO THAT THEY CAN. CONTINUE THE
MAINTENANCE OF THE TREE FOR A
PERIOD OF TIME- AND SO HAVING A
AND AB. SOURCE OF REVENUE THAT
IS CONTINUING IS REALLY
IMPORTANT. IS THE ORGANIZED
ORGANIZATION TREE CITY USA ONE
OF YOUR SUPPORTERS. I DON'T
IT'S ON OUR ANALYSIS SO AND
SOMETIMES THE REPUBLICANS GET.
WE DON'T GET ALL OF THE LETTERS
IN SUPPORT BECAUSE MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THE PORTAL
DOESN'T ALWAYS- DISTRIBUTE THEM
CHRIS I JUST WANTED MY ABOUT MY
HOME TOWN JUST A TREE CITY USA
SO THAT'S THAT'S WHY IS ONE.
WOULDBE GREAT IF THEY IF THEY
WOULD I MIGHT WE'RE GETTING
LETTERS KIND OF AS WE SPEAK SO
IS MINE BUT THAT'S A NATIONAL
ORGANIZATION. MIGHT NOT BE
GETTING INVOLVED IN CALIFORNIA
BILLS. WELL THEY OUGHT TO. I
AGREE- NOTE THIS MOMENT I WAS
GONNA LAY OFF I'M GONNA SUPPORT
YOUR BILL THIS MORNING I KNOW
YOU'RE GONNA DO A GOOD JOB ON
IT AND I THINK FOR. FURTHER
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. LET ME
JUST MAKE ONE BEFORE I ASK YOU
TO CLOSE THAT AND THAT IS THAT
FIGHT MINISTER THIS BOND PART.
IN IT IN RESPONSE TO THE
QUESTION THAT WAS RAISED IT WAS
ALWAYS OVER SUBSCRIBED. AND
THERE ARE ALWAYS MANY MANY
CITIES IN LINE THE MINUTE THE
MONEY RAN OUT. AND SO TO HAVE A
STABLE FUNDING SOURCE. TO THE
DEMAND IS THERE THIS WILL MEET
IT THEN I THINK OF HER RATE IF
IT'S IN A BOUGHT. OPERATE IF WE
STILL HAVE BOND MONEY BUT WE
WILL RUN OUT AND THIS WILL BE
SOMETHING THAT WILL BE THERE
AND BE STUDY. AND THERE IS JUST
TO DEMAND ALL ACROSS CALIFORNIA
SO I SALUTE YOU FOR DOING THIS-
DID WE HAVE A MOTION. EFFORT
CENTER EGGMAN BEAT YOU TO IT
THIS TIME BUT OPERAS SO THAT'S
A MOTION WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE ALL I'M A DOCTOR
STATEMENT AS MY CLOSING AND
JUST SAY THAT- PART OF THE
CHALLENGE FOR SOME OF THESE
REALLY SMALL COMMUNITIES IS
THEIR LAST IN LINE THEY THEY
JUST DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES
TO DO UP A GRANT APPLICATION
IT'S A- COMPETITIVE AND SO I'M
HOPING THAT SOME OF THIS WILL
TRICKLE INTO THE COFFERS OF
THOSE. THOSECITIES THAT REALLY
NEED IT RIGHT THANK YOU ARE
WITH THE SECRETARY PLEASE CALL
THE ROLL. FILE ITEM TEN S. B.
THREE FORTY SEVEN THE MOTION IS
TO PASS AS AMENDED THE FIRST
AMENDED AND RE REFER TO THE
COMMITTEE ON GOVERNANCE AND
FINANCE. LAYARD BY LAYERED I'D
JONES. JONES HI ALLEN. ALLEN
AYE EGGMAN. EGGMAN HI GROVE.
GROOVE HI HERTZBERG WAY SO LONG.
THE MONITORING HI I GUESS I
DON'T HEAR THE SOUND LIMóN AND
STERN AYE STERN HI THAT HAVE
OKAY THAT IS ENOUGH VOTES
BEHOLD THE ROLE OPEN FOR THE
END OF THE HEARING THANK YOU
VERY MUCH THANK YOU VERY MUCH
YOU SENATOR WE APPRECIATE THAT
WE'RE GONNA MOVE TO FILE ITEM
NUMBER THREE. A B. C. THREE. US
SENATOR STERN WELCOME TO YOUR
OWN COMMITTEE. AND IF JOHN JUST
WAS TO BECAUSE HIM ABOUT THAT
BILL HE'LL TALK TO YOU ABOUT IT
LATER. THANK YOU MISS CHAIR
THIS IS THE- GIVE THE GAS TO
SOME KNOWS MUCH MORE- THAT
ANYONE THE BUILDING. IF I
RESOURCES I APPRECIATE I'VE
BEEN WATCHING THIS WHOLE
HEARING IN MY- OFFICE IN THE
DEBATE. IS ACTUALLY BEN
EXCELLENT I KNOW IT'S BEEN LONG
BUT REALLY THOROUGH AND SUB-
THANK YOU FOR IT. SB SIXTY
THREE. IS AN INTERESTING.
ERIDGE OF IDEAS- WHERE WE'VE
BEEN TRYING TO FIND THE SWEET
SPOT IN HOW WE DISTRIBUTE FIRE
PREVENTION FUNDING IN A WAY
THAT- ADVANCES BOTH BUILDING
SAFETY- BUT ALSO PRESERVES-
ENVIRONMENTAL INTEGRITY IN SOME
OF OUR MOST ECOLOGICALLY
SENSITIVE FIRE ZONES SO. TODAY
I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE
PARTNERSHIP WE'VE DEVELOPED
WHERE THE BUILDING INDUSTRY HAS
REALLY COME TO THE TABLE AND
STEPPED UP AND SAID YOU KNOW WE
CAN BUILD FIRE SAFE NOT JUST IN
THE VERY HIGH FIRE SEVERITY
ZONES BUT AN OPENNESS TO
EXTENDING THAT KIND OF BUILDING
STANDARD THROUGH THIS
LEGISLATION IN HIGH OR
MODERATE- FIRE ZONES BECAUSE AS
WE'VE LEARNED THROUGH THESE
FIRES. IF YOU LOOK AT- TUBS IN
COFFEE PARKER I EVEN- DOWN
THROUGH SANTA CRUZ OR BY THE
FIRES HAPPENED IN OUR BACKYARD
THEY'RE NOT JUST BURNING IN THE
VERY HIGH FIRE SEVERITY SOUNDS
SO WE'RE HOPING THAT THE NEW
HOUSING THAT WE ALL NEED TO
BECAUSE INTO THESE OTHER
COMMUNITIES IS- AS RESILIENT AS
POSSIBLE THAT IT ADOPTS EMBER
RESISTANT- PRINCIPLES AND WE
KNOW IT A LOT OF THESE FIRES
COME DOWN TO THAT ONE AMBER
ZIPPING THROUGH THAT EVENT.
WORK OR- IT ONLINE GASKET IN
YOUR GARAGE OUR RIGHT TO YOUR
FURNACE IN THAT TAKES IT ALL
DOWN IT COULD BE THAT THAT ONE
LITTLE DIFFERENCE THAT THAT
PIECE OF MASTERING EVE IT- IS
AN OPENER GUTTER THAT HASN'T
BEEN CLEANED. OR FOR THOSE SORT
OF STANDARD ELEMENTS OF HOUSING
THAT WE THINK CAN MAKE EVERYONE
SAFE SO- THAT'S PART OF THIS
BILL BUT THE OTHER PART OF IS
THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY IS
HAS STEPPED UP AND ENJOYING
THIS IN PART AS PARTNERS HERE
IN IN TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT
OUR FIRE PREVENTION FUNDING
ALSO FOCUSES ON AREAS LIKE
RIGHT AGAINST ROADWAYS-
REMOVING INVASIVE GRASSES UP WE
KNOW A LOT OF IGNITION. OCCURS
RIGHT ALONG THE ROADSIDE PEOPLE
FLICKING A CIGARETTE OUT THE
WINDOW- THIS IS NOT JUST
LIGHTNING AND IT'S NOT JUST
UTILITIES- THERE ARE OUR A LOT
OF HUMAN. OF WILDFIRE AND WE
HAD I THINK SIX OR- IN THE LAST
TWO MONTHS IN OUR DISH IN IN MY
BACKYARD THAT HAVE THANK GOD
BEEN PUT DOWN BUT- THE WINDS OF
SORT OF SAVED US ON THOSE. MORE
COMING- SO WE THINK FOCUSING ON
AVOIDING TYPE CONVERSION
LOOKING AT ROADWAYS LOOKING AT
SOME OF THE SORT OF A CUTE
AREAS OF RISK OR CRITICAL AND
SO. WE'RE ALSO ADDING SOME OF
THOSE ELEMENTS TO HOW THE STATE
APPROACHES ITS FIRE PREVENTION
FUNDING DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY-
I COULD TALK FOREVER ABOUT THIS
I JUST APPRECIATE WITH WELFARE
WORKING GROUP IS DONE IN THE
SENATE. WHAT THE PRO TEM IS
DONE IN PUSHING EARLY ACTION
AND REALLY TRYING TO SAY WE
CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT FIRE
SEASON TO MAKE THINGS MOVE SO
I'M HOPING THIS BILL HELPS
XCELERATED THAT EFFORT AND
BUILD FURTHER PARTNERSHIPS.
WITH THAT'LL YOU'LL TO UP TO MY
SUPPORTERS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
WE HAVE- TO THE FIRST ONE. IS
HERE WITH US WELCOME TO THE
COMMITTEE. YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
SENATORS I'M BOB BREMER SENIOR
ENGINEER WITH THE CALIFORNIA
BUILDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION.
AND STRONG SUPPORT OF THE BILL
AND I'VE ALSO BEEN ASKED BY THE
CALIFORNIA APARTMENT
ASSOCIATION. AND THE CALIFORNIA
BUSINESS PROPERTIES ASSOCIATION
INDICATE THEIR STRONG SUPPORT
AS WELL- THE STATE ALREADY HAS
OF FIRE SEVERITIES MAPS. FOR
THE VERY HIGH FIRE SEVERITY
ZONES- THE SENATORSBILL WOULD
EXPAND THAT AND REQUIRE
CALIFORNIA TO FINISH THE MAPS.
FOR THE MODERATE IN THE HIGH
FIRE SEVERITY ZONES AS SOON AS
THAT GETS DONE- THE FIRE
MARSHAL AND HCD WILL MOVE TO
EXPAND APPLICATION. OF OUR FIRE
HARDENING BUILDING STANDARDS-
TO THE VERY TO THE HIGH FIRE
SEVERITY ZONES. AND ALSO
CONSIDER. ADOPTING A-
APPLICATION- TO THE MODERN
ZONES AS WELL- THE BOTTOM LINE
IS THE STANDARDS REALLY WORK-
WHEN YOU HAVE DEFENSIBLE SPACE
COMBINED WITH FIRE HARDENING
BUILDING STANDARDS. THE HOMES
HAVE ABOUT A THREE TO FOUR
TIMES SURVIVABILITY RATE- ABOVE
THOSE THAT DON'T. AND SO WITH
THAT WE STRONGLY URGE YOUR
SUPPORT OF THE BILL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND THE
OTHER. LEAD SUPPORT WITNESS IS
A RICK HASELEY OF THE CHAPARRAL
INSTITUTE AND HE'S ON THE CO
HOST PHONE LINE WELCOME TO THE
COMMITTEE. THANK YOU THANK YOU
SENATORS AND- THIS IS A RECALL
THE FROM THE ALL THAT BROKE. IT
AND- I JUST WANT TO SAY
INTEREST RENT AND OWN INSURANCE
SB. SIX THREE- YOU KNOW IF
YOU'LL TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK
ABOUT IT EMPIRE. OR A FIRE IN
YOUR HEART. AND WHAT YOU
ACTUALLY DO TO PREVENT RISK I'M
GETTING TOO MUCH AND THAT IS
YOU PUT STRAINS ON YOUR HARD ON
THE SCREEN OVER YOUR CAMPFIRE.
AND YOU DO THAT BECAUSE IT
KEEPS THE EMBERS SHANKAR'S IN
EIGHTY EMISSIONS MORALES. AND
PATRICK COMPONENT WITH THIS
BILL ADDRESSES EDIT ADDRESSES
THE NEED TO REPLACE IT YOU'LL
CENTER CROTCH. IT TO THE
FARMERS REDUCTION AND ACTUALLY
LOOKS AT THE THINGS THAT
ACUALLY NINE HOMES. ACTUALLY
EVERY HOME IN THE LAST TEN
YEARS OF DEVASTATING WILDFIRES
HAS BEEN IGNITED. NEW TO EMBERS
SENATOR STERN RT SAID. THE WAY
YOU REDUCE VIRUS AND IT TAKES
AWAY FROM THE FUEL CENTRING
POSITION THAT. DOMINATES THE
CONVERSATION NOW IN TERMS OF
HAVING THAT CLARENCE LOGGING
WHEN IN FACT WHAT'S REALLY
HAPPENING- THESE NUMBERS ARE
TRAVELING A MILE OR MORE AND IF
I HAVE A FIRE FRONT AS COPY
PARK REVEALED IN THE TUBBS
FIRE. BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE
DAMAGE IN THIS PARTICULAR BILL
IS GOOD BECAUSE IT ADDRESSES
NOT JUST THAT BUT IT GIVES SOME
POTENTIAL OPPORTUNITIES. TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO ADDRESS THOSE.
ONE IT DEALS WITH. YEAH THAT
REDUCE THE FINAL OF DO AMBER'S
NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED PEOPLE IT
ALSO A PUBLIC EDUCATION-
PROGRAM OR FUNDS AT EAST. TO
HELP PEOPLE MAKE THEIR HOMES
FIRE SAFE. AND IT ALSO DOES
SOMETHING IS VERY IMPORTANT
WHICH OKAY DARGAN WHO IS A
FORMER FIRE MARSHALL HAS ALWAYS
BEEN ADVOCATING IS NOT
STANDARDIZED. FIRE RISK
REDUCTION CHECKLIST. UNITIES
WHICH INCLUDES NOT JUST
EDUCATION AND DEFENSIBLE SPACE
BUT IT TALKS ABOUT THE
FLAMMABILITY OF THE HOME ITSELF
WHICH IS WHY HOMES BURNED.
THAT'S AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT
ALSO. TERMS OF ACTIVATIONS AND
SUCH THAT HAVE REALLY BEEN
PROBLEMATIC IN A LOT OF THESE
FIRES. THIS BILL PASCAL FIRE OR
AT LEAST NOT CALIFORNIA BUT
CALTRANS RATHER TO ACTUALLY BE
PART OF THE PROCESS IN TERMS OF
REDUCING FLAMMABILITY ALONG
ROADWAYS. SOME OF THE
PLANTATION THEN TAKEN FAX
EDUCATION ACT KIND OF A THING
ACTUALLY INCREASED FIRE RISK.
SO HAVING THEM AT THE TABLE
WILL REALLY HELP- AGAIN I JUST
WANT TO EMPHASIZE IT'S ALL
ABOUT AMBER'S. IT'S NOT ABOUT
HUNDRED PLAYING LINKS AND IN
LOGGING POOREST. HABITAT IS
ABOUT MAKING OUR COMMUNITIES
SAFER MEMBERS. SO THANK YOU-

THE LACK OF OPPOSITION BUT
THERE'S ONE GLARING- ELEMENT OF
THE BILL THAT I'M I'M REALLY
HAVING A HARD TIME WITH. AND SO
IF YOU MAYBE YOU CAN EXPLAIN
IT- ONE OF THE ELEMENTS AS IT
ALLOWS A HOMEOWNER TO CLEAR THE
NEIGHBORING PROPERTY. TO MEET
THE HUNDRED FOOT DEFENSIBLE
SPACE REQUIREMENT WITH OUT.
THAT NEIGHBORS PERMISSION- BACK
IN- AND MY DISTRICT. WE'VE GOT
PRETTY GOOD NEIGHBORS BUT- GOOD
FENCES MAKE FOR GOOD NEIGHBORS.

CHALLENGES LAW ENFORCEMENT

WASN'T INTENDED TO BE- SOME
BROADER. YEAH I DIDN'T THINK SO
EITHER- OKAY I'LL FOLLOW UP

THIS WAS IT THIS WAS A HOLDOVER

CALIFORNIA TO RESILIENT PLACE
SO THAT RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
I'VE- OKAY. ARE WITH THE
SECRETARY PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
YOUR MOTIONS. IT'S A GREAT THE
MOTION IS PASS THE FIRST BE RE

THAT'S FILE ITEM THREE SB SIXTY
THREE LAYERED HI HI. JONES

MISTER CHAIR. JUST TO CLARIFY
IF YOU DO END UP REOPENING THE
ROLE DID YOU CLOSE THE ROLE AND
THAT MEANT NO. OKAY I'M NOT
CLOSE THE ROLE IN THE SINGLE
MARKET PERFECT SO I WAS JUST
GONNA SAY IT HAS TO BE
CONSISTENT WITH LOCAL ZONING.
SO THAT SPECIFIC IN THE BILL
JUST MR STERN IF YOU WANNA TALK
TO MARK AROUND BECAUSE WE HAVE
A MILLION. YEAH TO WORK HIS
CENTER ALLEN ARE YOU READY TO
PRESENT YOUR BILL ON DOWNS.
I'LL LEAVE YOU GUYS. THE WORKER
TO MOVE THE FINAL. FIVE SB
EIGHTY THREE. FROM SENATOR.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MISTER. AND I
MY UNDERSTAND WERE SUPPOSED TO.
STATE OUR SEATS. ALREADY HERE
THAT'S CORRECT ALL RIGHT SO. WE
HEARD THIS- THE PRO TEM BUILD
ON OUR SEA LEVEL RISE THIS
REALLY TO THE- NINE. DON'T HAVE
TO THE POINT ABOUT TIME THE
THREAT THAT THIS ARE BOTH TO
PEOPLE PROPERTIES AND OF COURSE
THE FINANCIAL THREAT- THE
ESTIMATES ARE THAT MORE THAN A
HUNDRED FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS
WORTH OF PROPERTY COULD BE AT
RISK OF FLOODING BY TWENTY BY.
TWENTY ONE HUNDRED. AND SO
THAT'S THE THAT'S THE ESTIMATE
STATEWIDE. SO ONE OF THE
CHALLENGES ONE OF THE MANY
CHALLENGES OUT THERE RIGHT NOW
IS THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE
ARE STRUGGLING WITH HOW TO WITH
WITH ADDRESSING THIS CRISIS.
THEY'RE TRYING TO BALANCE A
VERY LIMITED BUDGETS AND VERY
FEW GOOD OPTIONS WITH THE NEEDS
OF HOMEOWNERS. AND CLEAN AREAS
ALREADY EXPERIENCING FLOODING
BUYING OUT LOCAL RESIDENTS AND
RELOCATING THEM IS VERY VERY
CONTROVERSIAL AND IN SOME CASES
YOU KNOW COST PROHIBITIVE. BUT
SO OF COURSE IS THE EVER- AND
ULTIMATELY LOSING BATTLE
AGAINST THE C. HANSI WALLS- ARE
ARE VERY EXPENSIVE THE THEY
WILL NEVER ALTERNATELY WIND-
BUT THEY DO THEY'RE CERTAINLY A
DECENT AS- HIM. BUT VERY VERY
SHORT TERM ALTERNATIVE BUT- BUT
THEY ALSO DO COME WITH SEVERE
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES IN
THOSE ARE OUTLINED. IN THE
ANALYSIS. SO THE ONLY TIME THAT
A FASCINATING SERIES ON THIS
TOPIC ABOUT THE CHALLENGES THAT
CITIES ARE FACING IN TOWNS UP
AND DOWN OUR COAST. ARE VERY
TOUGH CHOICES ABOUT THEIR BUT
THE TOP OF THE CHOICES ARE
GONNA GET A WHOLE LOT HARDER-
WHEN INSURANCE COMPANIES REFUSE
TO COVER PROPERTIES BANKS WILL
PROVIDE MORTGAGES. TO A
PROPERTIES THAT ARE AT RISK OF
SEA LEVEL RISE AND SO YOU KNOW.
WE I THINK BACK ON THIS I THINK
ABOUT THIS TOPIC I THINK BACK.
TO OTHER BIG CHALLENGES WHAT
WHAT HOW MUCH YOU KNOW IN LIVES
AND TREASURE WE COULD HAVE
SAVED WE TAKE AN ACTION TWO
DECADES AGO- TO TAKE STEPS TO
LOWER THE RISK OF DEVASTATING
WILDFIRES. AND SO SIMILAR
SIMILAR TO FORWARD THINKING
IDEA HERE THE IDEA IS THAT WE
WOULD PROVIDE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
WHO ARE CURRENTLY STUCK IN THIS
VERY DIFFICULT POLITICAL
PREDICAMENT. ASSOCIATED WITH
AND WITH THE IDEA LIMITED CITY
COFFERS AND- THE CHALLENGES OF
PROTECTING PROPERTIES ON THE
COAST WE WOULD PROVIDE THEM
WITH AN INNOVATIVE FINANCING
OPTION. TO ALLEVIATE THE RISKS
OF SEA LEVEL RISE TO THE
PROPERTIES IN THEIR TOWNS.
WHILE I PROTECTING BOTH
PROPERTY OWNERS AND TAXPAYERS
THE IDEAS WE HAVE A REVOLVING
LOAN FUND FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
THROUGH THE AYE BACK. TO BRIBE
PROPERTIES THAT WOULD BE
THREATENED AND IN IT THERE WILL
BE THREATENED IN A DECADE OR
TWO OR THREE. ALLOWING THE
OWNERS TO SELL WHILE THE HOUSE
STILL HAS VALUE. AND THEN THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT CAN RENT OUT
THE PROPERTY REPAYING THE LOAN
AND PREVENTS POTENTIALLY EVEN
EARNING REVENUE. AND THEN WHEN
THE PROPERTIES AT RISK OF
FLOODING FROM RISING SEA LEVELS
THE HOUSE COULD BE DEMOLISHED
OR RELOCATED. WITHOUT LOCAL
RESIDENTS OR TAXPAYERS. DURING
THE COST. SO WE'VE WE WE'VE
BEEN ACTIVELY REACHING OUT TO
STAKEHOLDERS FOR FEEDBACK- AS
THE MOUSE'S NOTES IT'S SOMEWHAT
OF A WORK IN PROGRESS I KNOW
THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO ADD
MORE SPECIFICITY ANALYSIS ASK
FOR IT WE GOT SOME GREAT
SUGGESTIONS ALREADY FROM THE
COASTAL COMMISSION- AND MANY
OTHERS. HI I ALSO WANT TO
DISCUSS THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR
ITS ENGAGEMENT ALREADY I'M I'M
CERTAINLY COMMITTED TO CONTINUE
TO WORK WITH STAFF AND
INTERESTED MEMBERS AS WE GATHER
FEEDBACK AND FURTHER WORK TO
REFINE THE BILL- BUT ANYHOW I
HAVE WITH ME TODAY JENNIFER
SAVAGE WITH SURFRIDER
FOUNDATION IS ABOUT AND SALAS

ABOUT HIGHER AND I'M WITH THE
NATURE CONSERVANCY WHO ALSO
STRONGLY SUPPORT SB EIGHTY
THREE- WITH THE PACIFIC OCEAN
PROJECTED TO RISE NINE FEET IN
SOME COASTAL AREAS OF
CALIFORNIA BY TWENTY ONE
HUNDRED. WE NEED TO TAKE ACTION
TO PROTECT THE ENTIRE CLOSELY
LEVIN DEPEND ON WHETHER
DEVELOPED OR WILD WE MUST ALSO
HELP OUR COMMUNITY LEVY AT THE
RISK OF RISING OCEAN WHILE
PROTECTING BOTH PROPERTY OWNERS
AND NATURE. IN THEORY CONSIGNED
TO COURT SHOWS 55% OF
CALIFORNIA COASTAL HABITAT IS
IN JEOPARDY ALL RIGHT WE
BELIEVE THAT SB EIGHTY THREE
WILL ALSO BE AN IMPORTANT TOOL
TO HELP ADDRESS THE CLIMATE
IMPACTS TO HABITAT AND THE-
FUNDING FROM THE AYE BANK COULD
BE PRIORITIZED TO PROPERTIES
THAT PROVIDE WILL PAY BENEFITS.
INCLUDING PROTECTING COASTAL
HABITAT PROTECT THE EXISTING
INFRASTRUCTURE OR PROTECTING
PARKS AND OTHER OPEN SPACES
CALIFORNIA'S ACT TO PROTECT
COASTAL COMMUNITIES FROM
CLIMATE CHANGE AND THAT THE

BY SENATOR JONES THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN JOHN I'M I'M- I
ALSO APPRECIATE THE BILL AND I
WANT TO BE KIND OF SPECIFIC ON.
ON- WHAT I PREACH ABOUT IT IT
SEEMS TO BE PRETTY REASONABLE-
YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT RAISING
TAXES- YOU'RE USING THE HIGH
BANK- WHICH I IN ANOTHER SOME
DEBATE DEBATE ABOUT THAT BUT I
THINK THAT WAS A CREATIVE- AT
ELEMENT OF YOUR BILL. AND- AND
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWING FOR EMINENT
DOMAIN SO ALL THE PURCHASES
MUST BE VOLUNTARY SO I THINK
THOSE ARE ALL GOOD THINGS AND-
I'M SUPPORT YOUR BILL. WHILE

HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOU KNOW
HOUSES RIGHT DIRECTLY ON THE
COAST THAT ARE YOU KNOW HAVING
AN ISSUE AND I AM CONCERNED
ABOUT INSURANCE AND OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS AND BANKS AND
LENDING THAT WILL BE THERE AND
IF. AND IF THIS IS A WAY TO-
PURCHASES PROPERTIES WHAT
FORCING THEM TO SELL OR EMINENT
DOMAIN AND THEN USING THOSE AS
RENTAL PROPERTIES TO PAY BACK

AT THIS IS- YOU KNOW IT SHOULD
BE REVENUE NEUTRAL RIGHT THE
IDEA IS THAT THE THAT THE THAT
THE- AT THE END THIS IS OF
COURSE GOING OUT TO YOUR TOP OF
THE ACTUARIES BUT THAT THE- THE
REVENUE GENERATED THROUGH THE
RENTAL WILL. WILL RECOUP. THE
BANKS COSTS SOMEBODY. WELL

THE COMMITTEE THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR MISTER CHAIRMAN SENATORS.
I'M HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY IN
THIS IMPRESSIVELY CHILI
COMMITTEE ROOM. ON BEHALF OF S.
B. TWO SIXTY SIX. IT IS A
DISTRICT BILL WHICH WILL DIRECT
THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
PARKS AND RECREATION. TO
INCORPORATE INTO CHINO HILLS
STATE PARK THREE PARCELS OF
LAND. THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED
FOR ACQUISITION AND
PRESERVATION TO LOCAL
CONSERVATION EFFORTS. AND FOR
WHICH FUNDING HAS ALREADY BEEN
SECURED NATURAL STATE PARK
WHICH IS LOCATED PREDOMINANTLY
IN MY DISTRICT. IS ONE OF THE
TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY STATE PARK
UNITS MANAGED BY THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND
RECREATION. IT IS LOCATED IN
THE HILLS AROUND SANTA ANA
CANYON INTHE COUNTY OF ORANGE
RIVERSIDE AND SAN BERNARDINO
THE PARK LIES WITHIN THE DENSE
LOS ANGELES BASIN WHICH HAS A
POPULATION OF MORE THAN SEVEN
MILLION PEOPLE. WITHIN A TWENTY
FIVE MILE RADIUS AND ENJOYS
MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND VISITORS ANNUALLY.
THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION WOULD
INSTRUCT PARKS TO RECEIVE AND
INCORPORATE. INTO THE STATE
PARK THREE JASON LAND PARCELS
ALL WITH WILLING SELLERS OR
DONORS THE LARGEST OF THE THREE
PARCELS IS A TWELVE HUNDRED
ACRE PARCEL KNOWN. AS THE FIRST
NATIONAL INVESTMENT PROPERTIES.
THIS OPEN SPACE PARCEL DO NOT
CURRENTLY TECHNICALLY PART OF
THE PARK FALLS WITHIN A PART OF
THE PARK. DESIGNATED BY THE
CHINO HILLS STATE PARK GENERAL
PLAN AS A CORE HABITATS KNOWN.
AS SUCH THIS OWN INCLUDE
SENSITIVE WILDLIFE HABITATS
THAT ARE CRUCIAL TO THE
MOVEMENT AND SURVIVAL OF MANY
PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES
INDIGENOUS TO THE REGION. BUT
PORTION OF THIS PARCELS
CHARACTERIZES WALNUT WOODLAND
ONE OF CALIFORNIA'S RARE AND
IMPERILED NATURAL COMMUNITIES.
THE SECOND OF THE THREE PARCELS
IS A THREE HUNDRED ACRE PARCEL
KNOWN AS CHINO HILLS THREE
HUNDRED. IT IS SURROUNDED ON
EITHER SIDE BY THE EXISTING
PARK AND THE FIRST NATIONAL
INVESTMENT PROPERTIES PARCEL.
THIS PARCEL IS ALSO PART OF THE
PARK'S GENERAL PLAN. THAT HAS
BEEN DESIGNATED AS NATURAL OPEN
SPACE ON. THE THIRD PARCEL IS
AN ELEVEN ACRE WALNUT WOODLAND
PARTIAL. KNOWN AS THE B.
PROPERTY THIS PARCEL BORDERS
THE PARK ON TWO SIDES AND ALSO
IS LOCATED. WITHIN THE CORE
HABITAT ZONE THE OWNER OF THIS
PARCEL HAS COMMITTED TO
CONVEYING THIS PARTIAL TO THE
STATE FOR INCLUSION IN CHINO
HILLS STATE PARK. AS A
DONATION. THE TWO LARGER
PARCELS REFERENCE YOU HAVE BEEN
SPECIFIED AS PRIORITY
ACQUISITIONS FOR DECADES AS
PART OF THE PARTS GENERAL PLAN.
IF THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE
THESE PROPERTIES IS MISSED
THESE PARCELS WITH MORE WITH
MORE THAN LIKELY BE SOLD TO
PRIVATE DEVELOPERS.
INTERVENTIONAL DISPOSITIONAL
HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY DETRIMENTAL
IMPACTS ON THE FUTURE CHARACTER
OF THE PARK. AND THE EXPERIENCE
OF CALIFORNIANS WHO VISIT THE
PARK. FURTHERMORE ACCORDING TO
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH
AND WILDLIFE CALIFORNIA HAS A
LARGER NUMBER OF THREATENED
SPECIES. THAN ANY OTHER STATE
IN THE U. S. MENTION OF THE
STATE PARK IS HOME TO MORE THAN
TWO HUNDRED SPECIES OF BIRDS
AND MAMMALS MANY REPTILES AND
AMPHIBIANS. THOUSANDS OF
SPECIES OF INSECTS AS WELL AS
ONE OF THE PLAN COMMITTEES
SEVERAL WHICH ARE DEEMED
THREATEN TO DANGER SPECIALLY
PROTECTED. ACQUISITION OF THE
THREE PARCELS OF LAND WILL
AVOID THE PROSPECT OF HABITAT
FRAGMENTATION. THE LEADING
CAUSE OF SPECIES ENDANGERMENT
OR EXTINCTION. AS I NOTICED AT
THE OUTSET NO ADDITIONAL
APPROPRIATION FROM THE STATE'S
GENERAL FUND OR OTHER PUBLIC
COUNTS. WILL BE NECESSARY FOR
THE INCORPORATION OF ANY OF
THESE PARCELS INTO THE PARK.
ONE OF THE PARCELS IS A
DONATION AN EXISTING FEDERAL
STATE AND PRIVATE FUNDING
SOURCES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED
FOR THE ACQUISITION. OF THE
OTHER TWO PARCELS. WITH ME
TODAY IS. SHE BACK HILLS FOR. A
LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSERVATION ORGANIZATION.
WHICH IS PLAYED AN ESSENTIAL
ROLE IN ADVOCATING FOR THE
ACQUISITION. AND PRESERVATION
OF OPEN SPACE IN THE AREA. I

ESTABLISH THE CALIFORNIA
CONSERVATION RANCHING INCENTIVE
PROGRAM. IT AUTHORIZES THE
DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION TO
ENTER VOLUNTARY THREE YEAR
CONTRACTS WITH THE OWNERS AND
LESSEES OF PRODUCTIVE
RANGELANDS GRAZING LANCER
GRASSLANDS. IT OFFERS INCENTIVE
PAYMENTS AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT
FOR THE ENHANCEMENT OF A
GRASSLAND HABITAT- CALIFORNIA'S
GRASSLANDS ARE RAPIDLY
DETERIORATING TWENTY THOUSAND
ACRES OF CALIFORNIA RANGELANDS
ARE LOST EVERY YEAR. AND
SUSTAINABLE CONSERVATION IS
CRITICAL BY WORKING
COLLABORATIVELY IT CAN BOLSTER
EFFORTS TO ENHANCE THEIR
QUALITY AS WELL AS IMPROVE AND
PROTECT GRASSLAND HABITATS. FOR
POLLINATORS TWO HUNDRED PLUS
BIRD SPECIES AND OTHER CRITICAL
WILDLIFE. THIS IS A VOLUNTARY
PROGRAM IT SUBJECT TO
APPROPRIATION IT'S VERY SIMILAR

HABITAT FOR GRASSLAND BIRD
SPECIES. WHEN CATTLE ARE
MANAGED UTILIZING ECOLOGICAL
AND INDIGENOUS LAND STEWARDSHIP
PRINTABLE WEEKLY GRASSLAND BIRD
SPECIES OF CONCERN SUCH AS THE
GRASSHOPPER SPARROW ACTUALLY
INCREASE IN NUMBERS. ANOTHER
SIDE BENEFIT IS CARBON
SEQUESTRATION ARE SPOILED THE
QUESTER POINT FIVE TONS OF
CARBON PER ACRE PER YEAR AND IF
10% OF CALIFORNIA'S FIFTY FOUR
MILLION ACRES OF RANGELAND WHAT
IS THE QUESTION ABOUT MUCH SOIL
CARBON IT WOULD BE EQUIVALENT
TO TAKING TWO MILLION PASSENGER
VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD FOR ONE
YEAR. I THINK WE HAVE YET TO
REALIZE THE POTENTIAL OF OUR
GRASSLAND TO HELP MEET THE
STATE REQUIREMENT CALLED. HELLO
ALSO REDUCES FUEL LOADS TO HELP
PREVENT WILDFIRES. NOW IS THE
TIME TO SUPPORT RANCHERS TO
IMPLEMENT CONSERVATION
CONSERVATION RANCHING PRACTICES

OPERATION TO PROVIDE SAFE AND

DETERMINATION BEING MADE. AT
FIRST LIKE TO THANK THE
CHAIRMAN THE COMMITTEE STAFF
FOR THEIR WORK ON THIS BILL AND
I ACCEPT THE TO PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS IN THE ANALYSIS
WHICH CAME AT THE
RECOMMENDATION OF THE STATE
WATER BOARD. THE FIRST
CLARIFIES THAT THIS PROVISION
ONLY APPLIES TO APPLICATIONS
FOR QUOTE A BENEFICIAL USES
THAT INCLUDES MINING USE AND
QUOTE. THE SECOND ALLOWS THE
BOARD TO NOT RE OPEN THE WHOLE
PROCESS IF IT HOLDS A HEARING.
OR CONDUCTS PROCEEDINGS AFTER
FORTY FIVE DAYS OF WRITTEN
NOTICE. THIS WILL ALLOW ANY
PERSON REQUESTING NOTICES THE
HEARING OR PROCEEDINGS. TO
PARTICIPATE AS A PARTY IN THE
HEARING OR PROCEEDINGS
INCLUDING IN THE PRESENTATION
OF EVIDENCE WITHOUT HAVING TO
FILE PROTESTS. THE VITAL LOCAL
ISSUE AFFECTING MY COMMUNITY IS
SUPPOSED TO MAKE A MINE IN THE
SOLID THAT CANYON. THE WATER-
APPROPRIATION APPLICATION WAS
FILED IN NINETEEN NINETY ONE
WITH THE STATE WATER BOARD WITH
NO HEARING BEING HELD. DURING
THIS THIRTY YEAR APPLICATION
POCESS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF
ISSUES HAVE ARISEN THAT AND
THAT'S WHY MY BILL COMES INTO
PLAY. SENATE APPROVED A BALLY
BACK THEN THIRTY YEARS AGO WAS-
RURAL SLASH SUBURBAN AND NOW IS
TRANSITIONING INTO SUBURBAN
SLASH URBAN. ADDITIONALLY WE
HAVE THE SANTA CLARA RIVER
WHICH IS UNDERGROUND REVERSAL
LAST WILD SCENIC RIVER IN ALSO
IN CALIFORNIA. IT IS- IN
IMPACTED SO SB FIVE TWENTY
ALLOWS COMMITTEE MEMBERS
OPPORTUNITY TO FORMALLY WEIGH
IN AT PERCENT EVIDENCE BEFORE
THE BOARD MAKES A FINAL
DETERMINATION ON APPLICATIONS
OF BEEN AGAIN PENDING FOR OVER
THIRTY YEARS. AS DYNAMICS OF
WATER AVAILABILITY COULD CHANGE
SIGNIFICANTLY SIGNIFICANTLY FOR
THE STATE AS A WHOLE DURING THE
LAST THREE DECADES DUE TO
CLIMATE CHANGE. SUCKS SUCH
ACTIONS WILL ALLOW COMMUNITY
MEMBERS THE OPPORTUNITY PROVIDE
CURRENT HYDROLOGICAL DATA TO
THE BOARD AS TO THE IMPACT OF
SUCH PROJECTS ON THEIR WATER
SUPPLY. THIS WILL HELP PROTECT
THE ENVIRONMENT ENSURE THAT THE
APPLICANTS APPROPRIATIONS ARE
INDEED IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST.

IT IS CRITICAL THAT THE WATER

INTO CONSIDERATION THE MOST UP
TO DATE ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS AND PUBLIC REVIEW.

THIRTY YEARS MORE THAN DOUBLING

THE PROTECTION OF CRITICAL
NATURAL RESOURCES AND WILDLIFE
CORRIDORS INCLUDING THE
PRESERVATION OF MORE TAN
ELEVEN THOUSAND ACRES OF OPEN

THIRTY YEARS. SENATE BILL FIVE
TWENTY WILL ONLY IMPACT

OUTDATED AND LACKED THE TRUE
IMPACT OF WATER SUPPLY HABITAT
SPECIES AIR QUALITY AND OTHER
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES.
ADDITIONALLY IT IS CRITICAL
THAT THIS PROCESS SECURITY
OPPORTUNITY FOR INTERESTED
STAKEHOLDERS AND MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
BOARD'S PROTEST PROCEEDINGS AND
ENSURE THAT THE BOARD CONSIDER
PUBLIC COMMENTS REGARDING
CURRENT POTENTIAL IMPACTS.
RELATED TO WATER PREPARATION.
