THIS BILL IS ASKING FOR CAN BE
DONE TO FISH AND WILDLIFE.

SORRY FOR BEING BRIEF JUST
TRYING TO BE FAIR TO ALL SIDES
HERE- SO WE'VE WRAPPED UP NOW I
THINK CALL TESTIMONY IN
OPPOSITION- SO WE'LL BRING IT
BACK TO. THE MEMBERS DO WE HAVE
COMMENTS QUESTIONS THE AUTHOR-
SENATE HUESO. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH AND- ACTUALLY A FEW YEARS
BACK- BACK IN TWENTY ELEVEN I
WAS ASKED TO CARRY A BILL
RELATED TO- PICKS IN SENEGAL
COUNTY BECAUSE IT WAS STARTING
TO BECOME SUCH A BIG PROBLEM.
AND WE STARTED WORKING WITH THE
STATE AND THE COUNTY TO FIND
WAYS TO ERADICATE WHAT WAS-
GROWING CONCERNS SAN DIEGO
RELATED TO FERAL PIGS AND HOW
THAT WORKS CREATE AN
ENVIRONMENTAL DEVASTATION. AND
SO I TOOK AN INTEREST IN THIS
BILL BECAUSE- GOOD ELEVEN YEARS
HAVE PASSED AND SINCE THEN
THERE'S BEEN QUITE A BIT OF-
IMPROVEMENT. IN SAN DIEGO AND
THE HUNTING COMMUNITY HAS
ACTUALLY BEEN PART OF- VERY
EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO MANAGING
THESE POPULATIONS ACROSS THE
COUNTY COURT SAN DIEGO. IT IS A
VERY LARGE COUNTY AND IT HAS-
SOME PRETTY CHALLENGING TERRAINS
AND EAGLE COUNTY HAS ALMOST
EVERY TYPE OF TERRAIN DESERT-
HIGH MOUNTAIN CHAPARRAL. IT HAS
VALLEYS AND RIVERS AND IT'S A
VERY VERY VERY DIVERSE DISTRICT.
WHICH MAKES- CHASING DOWN THESE
THESE AMOUNT ANIMALS EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT. AND SO WHEN I'VE
LOOKED INTO THIS BILL I SEE THAT
THERE ARE ORGANIZATIONS THAT
WERE VERY HELPFUL. IN REDUCING
IN THOSE POPULATIONS IN SAN
DIEGO THAT THAT- ARE NOW
CLAIMING THAT YOUR BILL WILL
KIND OF REVERSE. SOME OF THE
PROGRESS THAT HAS BEEN MADE IN
SAN DIEGO ON THAT I'M I'M
CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BECAUSE OF
COURSE WE WORK WITH THE EXISTING
AGENCIES TO ADDRESS WHAT IS A-
THE BIG PROBLEM SAN DIEGO IS
LOSING ITS FORESTS. IT'S IT
LOSING IMPORTANT HABITAT TWO
FIRES TO CLIMATE CHANGE TO HUMAN
ACTIVITY DEVELOPMENT FARMING.
AND SO- I WANTED TO SIMPLY-
PASOK YOU KNOW WHY THIS BILL IS
NECESSARY IS THERE A WAY THAT
THIS CAN BE HAVE HANDLED A NAPA
THAT CAN BE A DIFFERENT THAN THE
WAY IT'S HANDLED IN SAN DIEGO
WHERE I'M AT UNITEL YEARS AGO WE
HAD A VERY VERY LARGE AND
HEALTHY FERAL PIG POPULATION
THAT WAS A MAJOR CONCERN THAT IS
NOW. UNDER CONTROL AND SO ON I
AM VERY CONCERNED THAT MY VOTE
COULD LEAD TO A REVERSAL OF SOME
OF THE PROBLEMS WITH INDIGO SO
IS THIS SOMETHING BE HANDLED
REGIONALLY ACROSS THE STATE.
THROUGH THE CHURCH. PLEASE
PROCEED OUR SO I THINK THAT'S A
GOOD QUESTION- A COUPLE COUPLE
THINGS I'M NOT DOING THIS FOR
NAPA COUNTY OR SPECIFICALLY FOR
ANY OF MY COUNTY TO MY DISTRICT.
AS I SAID MY TALK- ON THIS IT'S
IMPACTING FIFTY SIX OUT OF FIFTY
EIGHT COUNTIES I'M NOT SURE CITY
A. COUNTY IS OUT OF THE WOODS AT
THIS POINT IN TIME TO WHAT FERAL
PIGS. ONE OF THE THINGS IS- THE
TIME WE'VE MET WITH. HI I AM
VERY IN TUNE WITH THE
OPPOSITION. IF THEY DID NOT WANT
ME TO BRING THIS UP TODAY I HAD
OTHER BILLS TODAY. I WOULD AND I
WOULD I AS I TOLD THEM. THAT
MOVING FORWARD MY GOAL IS IF
SOMEBODY'S GOT THE RIGHT TO DO
SOMETHING TODAY. THAT WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE
RIGHT TO DO THAT AFTER THIS
AFTER THIS BILL LIKE EGG
OPERATORS THE DEPREDATION
PERMITS SO I'M IN TUNE WITH WHAT
THE CATTLEMEN'S AND OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS THAT SPOKE- IN
WHAT THEY WANT THE THING THAT'S
GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DICEY
ARE THESE. PRIVATE GAME-
SITUATIONS AND I CAN'T GUARANTEE
THAT I TOLD THEM I WOULD WORK
WITH THEM AS WELL BUT THAT'S ONE
THAT ALL THE SUDDEN YOU START
DOING THAT AND YOU GET A WHOLE
HOST OF THE OPPOSITION TO I
THINK EVERYBODY RECOGNIZES THAT
HERE BUT- THEY ALL KNOW THAT I
AM GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THEM
IN THAT MY GOAL IS. NOT TO
REVERSE ANYTHING. TO THE POINT
WHERE IT GETS WHERE I COUNTY
THAT'S DOING A GOOD JOB LIKE SAN
DIEGO COUNTY RIGHT NOW WHERE IT
WOULD ANYTHING WOULD BE REVERSED
THERE. THAT WOULD BE MY
COMMITMENT TO YOU AND THE OTHER
MEMBERS SAN DIEGO AT. IN THE IN
THE ENTIRE COMMITTEE. OKAY THANK
YOU FOR THAT- I HAVE A BRIEF
COMMENT- AND I APPRECIATE YOU-
AT YOUR HISTORY WITH THE WITH
THE COMMUNITIES EVEN IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS LEGISLATION
SO. I TAKE YOU VERY STRONGLY AT
YOUR WORD THERE. IN THAT
COMMITMENT BUT I ALSO APPRECIATE
YOU ENGAGING IN A TOUGH DEBATE
ON THIS BECAUSE- YOU KNOW I'VE
I'VE SEEN THE IMPACT OF. OF
THESE WILD PIGS- LOST. LIVESTOCK
PETS- WATER WAYS ALL THAT AND
PORTERFIELD SO. UNTIL LARRY
COUNTY- AND IT'S A HUGE ISSUE
AND- I JUST. I THINK YOU'RE
RIGHT. TO BE PRAYED FOR IT ABOUT
THE HUNTING PRESERVE QUESTION
BECAUSE IF OUR GOAL IS A
COMMUNITY HAS CATTLE RANCHERS OR
IS- FARMERS OR OR EVEN IS THE-
RECREATIONAL HUNTING COMMUNITY
IF WE ALL AGREE THAT. THE
RATIFICATION. INVASIVE SPECIES
THAT IS A THREAT TO CALIFORNIA.
THEN WE HAVE TO MOVE TOWARDS
THAT GOAL AND THE IDEA OF SORT
OF. SAVING SOME MORE CREATING.
PRIVATE RESERVES TO THEN LET
THOSE FERAL PIGS BUILD UP THEIR
POPULATIONS THAT THERE WILL BE
RECREATIONAL. FOR PROFIT HUNTING
OPPORTUNITIES THERE. IS IN
DIRECT CONFLICT WITH AN OVERALL
POLICY GOAL OF RANKINGS WHILE
PICKS. WE WANT THE HUNTING
COMMUNITIES HELP IN DEALING WITH
THIS INVASIVE SPECIES. BUT I
THINK FOR THIS COMMITTEE
RELEASED FROM THE CHAIR
PERSPECTIVE THAT'S A VERY
IMPORTANT PROVISION IT UP HOLD
THE INTEGRITY OF THE PROGRAM. I
THINK THEY'RE UP. AS WE WORK YOU
ALREADY ON THE M. WE LOOK AT THE
RAW FOR ISSUE AND- YOU KNOW SOME
AT SOME THOSE ISSUES- HARD- WE
KNOW THAT THEIR QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE LIGHTS. AND HUNTING WITH
LIGHTS AND HOW DO WE NAVIGATE
THAT ISSUE AND I THINK IT'S
RIGHT TO. HAVE SOME CONCERNS
FROM THE OPPOSITION THERE OF YOU
KNOW YOU DON'T WANT ANY IN
VERDANT POACHING BUT I THINK ON
THE WHOLE WHAT WE WANT IS MORE
FREEDOM FOR THE COMMUNITY TO GO
OUT THERE AND TAKE CARE OF THESE
PROBLEMS. AND IF YOU'VE GOT AN
ISSUE AT NIGHT WITH THE HERD OF
FIFTEEN PIGS RUNNING THROUGH
YOUR PROPERTY AND YOU DON'T HAVE
TIME TO GO SORT OUT. ALL THAT
PERMITTING GO THROUGH ALL THOSE
HEADACHES IT'S THEIR RIGHT
THERE. WE WANT EMPOWER PEOPLE TO
DO THAT SO I THINK YOU'RE ON
TRACK WITH THE BILL I'LL BE
SUPPORTING IT TODAY I'M HAPPY
TO. ENTERTAIN ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS BUT
HAVEN'T BEEN A PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE HERE I DO APPRECIATE
WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO. THANK
YOU MR YEP- MORE COMING FROM-
CENTER GROUP. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR- I DO APPRECIATE THE OTHER
WORKING WITH ALL THE OPPOSITION
BUT YOU KNOW OWNING RENTAL
PROPERTY AND IN MY FAMILY HAS
OWNED RANCH PROPERTY FOR SINCE
THE NINETEEN FIFTIES AMHERST
HE'S EIGHTEEN FIFTIES- IN ITS ON
ITS SEVENTH GENERATION WITH MY
GRANDKIDS- WE HAVE A HUGE
PROBLEM. WITH PIGS ON THE RANCH
AND- I CAN TELL YOU THAT TO. THE
PATRIARCH OF THAT RANCH NINETY
YEARS OLD THE- HE'S LIVED ON
THAT RANCH MOST ALL OF HIS LIFE
IS NOT GOING TO BE INTERESTED IN
CALLING THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE
TO GET A PERMIT TO SHEEP PIGS
THAT ARE DESTROYING HIS CROPS.
S. SO THAT'S A HUGE ISSUE AND- I
JUST I WOULD APPRECIATE YOU
WORKING FORWARD TO ELIMINATE
PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNERS. THAT
AND HAVE RANCH PROPERTY
THOUSANDS OF ACRES THAT AND THIS
IS A MASSIVE PROBLEM AND WHEN
YOU GO GATHER CATTLE YOU CAN SEE
AFTER- YOU KNOW THESE PICS OF
MATED THEY BRING ALONG EIGHT TO
TWELVE TO FIFTEEN LITTLE PIGLETS
AND THEY ARE MASSIVELY INCREASE
SEEN ON THESE ON THESE PRIVATE
PROPERTY THE RANCHERS AND IF
YOU'VE NEVER SEEN. WHAT A FERAL
PIG CAN DO TO PROPERTY TO
GRAZING LAND SO THAT YOUR CATTLE
HAVE FOOD TO DO- TEAR ORCHARDS
THAT YOU'VE PLANTED TO DO WITH-
THE- THE- COMMODITIES THAT YOU
GROW ON YOUR RANCH. IT'S
DEVASTATING IN THEY COME THROUGH
LIKE A TORNADO WENT EFFORT ALL
THE GROUND WITH THEIR READING.
SO I WOULD APPRECIATE YOU
WORKING WITH- YOU KNOW
CALIFORNIA LANDOWNERS THE FARM
BUREAU TO REMOVE OPPOSITION AT
OF THIS TO PROTECT OUR RANCHERS
AND GROWERS. FROM WHAT THEY HAVE
ON IN. WHAT THEY HAVE ON THEIR
PROPERTY AND- AND NOT. TO
CONTINUE CONTROL THEIR PRIVATE
PROPERTY RIGHTS TO BE ABLE TO
EXECUTE WHAT THEY NEED TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEIR PRODUCT COMES TO
MARKET SO. PHOTOGRAPH THE TRIP
YES AT THREE SHE DOES COME. IN I
THINK YOU HEARD ME SAY LOUD AND
CLEAR- THAT THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT I'D I'D- YEAH RIGHT NOW THE
FARMERS AND RANCHERS. AT ONE
EIGHT FOR THIS BILL THE WAY IT
IS WRITTEN TODAY WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO DO THE THINGS THAT
YOU'RE SUGGESTING BY THE TIME
THIS COMES BACK HERE- THEY WILL
OR I WILL NOT BE RUNNING THIS
BILL. I MEAN THIS IS A REALLY
IMPORTANT TO ME THE PEOPLE THAT
HAVE THE RIGHTS TO PROTECT THEIR
PROPERTY RIGHT NOW FROM YEAH
THAT WILL BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO
GET DEPREDATION PERMITS BILL

PROCEED THIS GERMAN MEMBERS SB
EIGHT NINE SIX CONTINUES ARE
STEADY AND DETERMINED EFFORT TO
IMPROVE WILDFIRE PREVENTION AND
PROTECTION IN HIGH WILDFIRE
THREAT SEVERITIES OWNS THE
GENESIS OF THIS BILL WAS A
RECOMMENDATION MADE BY THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST IN A REPORT
RELEASED LAST AUTUMN. THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S ONE
APPROACH TO MITIGATING FUTURE
WILDFIRE DISASTERS IS TO REDUCE
THE CHANCE THAT HOLDS IGNITE
WHEN WILDFIRES OCCUR NEARBY. TO
THE MAINTENANCE OF DEFENSIBLE
SPACE IMPORTANTLY MAINTAINING
DEFENSIBLE SPACE NOT ONLY HELPS
TO PROTECT THAT HOME IT ALSO
REDUCES THE REST. OF THE
WILDFIRE WILL SPREAD TO
NEIGHBORING HOMES THEREBY
HELPING TO PROTECT COMMUNITIES.
MISTER CHAIRMAN YOU ADDRESS THE
ISSUE OF DEFENSIBLE SPACE IN
YOUR SB SIXTY THREE LAST YEAR SB
EIGHT NINETY SIX BUILT UPON YOUR
WORK. THE GOAL OF MY BILLS TO
INCREASE A COLLECTION OF
WILDFIRE ASSESSMENT INSPECTION
DATA. BY INCENTIVIZING EIGHTY
ONE OF SEVERAL AGENCIES THAT DO
INSPECTIONS TO REPORT THE
INSPECTION DATA TO A CENTRAL
DATABASE A CAL FIRE WILL BE
MAINTAINING PURSUANT TO SB SIXTY
THREE. I FOR MANY YEARS THAT YOU
CAN'T MAKE WHAT YOU KNOW. HAVE A
COP HANSEL COP. TABBY OF WHERE
DEFENSE SPACE AND PROGRAMS ARE
MEETING STATE STANDARDS AND
WE'RE NOT WILL HELP STATE LOCAL
FIRE AGENCIES TO BETTER ALLOCATE
RESOURCES FOR WILDFIRE
PREVENTION. I WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE CONSULTANT'S
RECOMMENDATION ON PAGE SIX OF
THE ANALYSIS AND ASSURE THE
COMMITTEE THAT ALL WORK ON THE
SUGGESTIONS AS THE BILL MOVES
FORWARD THERE IS NO OPPOSITION
TO THIS BILL JANA- VALETKEVITCH-
FOR SURVIVOR AND COUNTY
DIRECTOR- FOR THE UNIVERSITY
CALIFORNIA COOPERATIVE EXTENSION
HUMBOLDT AND DEL NORTE COUNTIES.
IS HERE IN THE ROOM TO TESTIFY
IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL HI THE
CONCLUSION ADVERTISED BY
RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL. THANKS
SO MUCH CENTER- I MISSPELLED
PUBLIC. THURMOND YEAH I
APPRECIATE IN THE- MY NAME'S
JOHN VALETKEVITCH AS I'M WITH
THE OF CALIFORNIA. I'M A
FORESTER AND AN EXPERT IN HOME
HARDENING INDEFENSIBLE SPACE AND
I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON THE BILL.
YOU KNOW JUST FOR CONTEXT I
THINK WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT
OVER THE LAST DECADE FORTY THREE
THOUSAND STRUCTURES HAVE BEEN
LOST TO WILDFIRE IN OVER A
HUNDRED SEVENTY THREE LIVES- WE
ALL KNOW THAT CHANGES ARE NEEDED
FOR GOING TO ADJUST THE
TRAJECTORY AND PROTECT. SOME
PEOPLE. IN RESPECT TO THE ISSUE
OF DEFENSIBLE SPACE I JUST WANT
TO SAY THAT OUR CULTURAL AND
SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING IS
CHANGING GIVEN OUR RECENT
UNDERSTANDING SEPTEMBER ARE
LARGE. TO THE LOSS ISSUE. OUR
BEEN DISTRIBUTED BURNING
MATERIALS BOTH EITHER VENN OR
OTHERS. AND THEY CAN TRAVEL OVER
A MILE OR MORE TO CREATE SPOT
FIRES IN FRONT OF THE FLAMING
FRONT SO LEARNING HOW TO PROTECT
OURSELVES IS CRITICAL IN THAT
SPACE I SERVED AS THE TECHNICAL
RESOURCE FOR THE TWENTY TWENTY
BILL AB THREE OH SEVEN FOUR-
THAT STARTED THE UPDATE TO
CALIFORNIA'S DEFENSIBLE SPACE
STANDARDS AND WHAT EIGHTY THREE
OH SEVEN FOUR DID WAS BASICALLY
MODERNIZE OUR GUIDANCE TO GIVE
HÌNH ATTENTION TO THE PERIMETER
OF THE STRUCTURE OR THE FIRST
FIVE FEET WILL. TO HEAR THAT NOW
HOLDS ZERO- MEDIALLY AROUND THE
STRUCTURE IN THE FOOTPRINT OF
ATTACHED TAX THEREBY ADDRESSING
THE MISSING INGREDIENT IN
DEFENSIBLE SPACE PROTECTION. I'M
GOING TO THESE DETAILS BECAUSE
IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THAT
ONCE THIS NEW ZONE IS ADOPTED.
THE EXPECTATIONS BEGIN TO CHANGE
AND WE ARE CENTRALLY RESETTING
THE CLOCK AND EVERYONE'S
PREVIOUS- DEFENSIBLE SPACE
INSPECTION OR ASSESSMENT WILL
ALL NEED TO BE RE REVIEWED. SO
WHAT SB EIGHT NINETY SIX DOES.
IS REALLY CREATE A COMMON
STANDARD FOR REPORTING AND THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A UNIVERSALLY
ACCESSIBLE DATABASE SO THAT WE
CAN BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND HOW
WE'RE CHANGING IN RESPONSE IT'S
COMMUNITIES TO THIS GROWING
ISSUE. WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT IS
THE 5% SCORING BONUS FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENT ENTITIES FOR THE
GRANT APPLICATIONS- AND I REALLY
LIKE AND I THINK WE ALL
UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF DATA SO
THAT WE CAN AS PUBLIC MEMBERS
POLICY MEMBERS AND AGENCIES. IN
PROGRESS WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT
BECAUSE IT HELPS AND OF IDENTIFY
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE MAKING
SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS AND
DOES THAT MEAN NEED SOME EXTRA
HELP. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR

THAT HE MOVED AHEAD FORCED THE
ISSUE SO THAT PEOPLE THAT WERE
DISAGREEING PARTIES WOULD. COME
TOGETHER AND IN THE END THERE
WAS A GOOD OUTCOME THAT ADDRESS
THE ISSUE. AND I'VE THE OUR
ANALYSIS SAYS THAT THIS IS A
WORK IN PROGRESS. AND I BELIEVE
THAT HE'S STARTING TO SAME WAY
HE THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT
ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE
ADDRESSED. THE ANNOUNCES SAYS
IT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS THE
ANALYSIS LAYS OUT SOME THINGS
THAT HE SHOULD CONSIDER. I THINK
THERE WERE A COUPLE FROM WITNESS
STATEMENTS. AND IN A MOMENT I'M
GOING TO MOVE THE BILL BECAUSE I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT HE-
FILED. TO ADDRESS PLEASE AND
BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER BECAUSE
IT'S AN IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ALSO DO THEIR
WORK AND TO THAT POINT I THINK
THERE'S A HEALTHY BALANCE YOU'RE
YOU'RE TRYING TO STRIKE HERE.
INCENTIVES BUT ALSO WE NEED TO
SEE THE DATA TO KNOW HOW WELL
OUR FIRE STRATEGIES GOING AND I
WOULD SAY AS A WHOLE WE'VE

TO BE DOING JOINT PRESENTATION.
WITH THE JUNIOR SENATOR TO YOUR
SOUTH- OKAY. VERY GOOD- CENTER
NIELSEN SB EIGHT NINETY FILE
ITEM FOR PLEASE PROCEED AND
WELCOME TO COMMIT THE SERMON.
MEMBERS THE AUTHORSHIP OF THE
BILL IS IN JIM DECORATIVE OF ITS
MERIT. IN TERMS OF WATER POLICY
AND THE WATER NEEDS OF THE
FUTURE. THIS IS A WEDDING IF YOU
WILL OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY
HORROR CONVEYANCE IS SO
IMPORTANT. AND THE SACRAMENTO
VALLEY OR SUPPLY ORIGINATES.
IT'S BEEN A LONG DEBATE I'VE
SPENT MY WHOLE LIFE DEALING WITH
THESE ISSUES. TWENTY TEN BEGAN A
PROCESS. OF SOME POSITIVE CHANGE. A NEW WATER PLAN. WAS
CONCEIVED IN THE LEGISLATURE.
AND MOVED ALONG. IT ALMOST
SIMULTANEOUSLY PROPOSITION ONE.
DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE FUNDING.
FOR VARIOUS PROJECTS. INCLUDING. ONE TO TWO NEW RESERVOIRS IN
CALIFORNIA. A BIG PART OF THIS
CHANGE IN POLICY. WAS THAT
RELATED IN FACT TO THE DELTA.
FOR DECADES ALL WATER POLICY
DEBATE IN CALIFORNIA WAS DELTA
CENTRIC. NO I SPEAK AS A FORMER
DELTA SENATOR. BUT I ALWAYS KNEW
THAT WAS NOT THE WHOLE SITUATION
. WHAT EVOLVING THAT NEW WATER
PLAN IS A RECOGNITION THAT
THERE'S A NORTH AND SOUTH IN THE
CENTRAL AND EASTERN A WESTIE
EVAN. A WATER POLICY FOR THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. AND THERE
IT WAS A RECOGNITION BUT PROP
ONE. THE THIRD DOES NEED TO BE
STORAGE ADDITIONAL STORAGE
CAPACITY. IN FIFTY SOME YEARS
THE ONLY NEW STORAGE IN THE
STATE OF THE VERY SMALL
RESERVOIRS WAS A BONUS. BUT NO
LARGE STORAGE. SO IN TERMS OF
PROP ONE AND THE DEBATE ON THE
FUTURE OF WATER HISTORY OF
CALIFORNIA. IT WAS OPINED. WE
NEEDED SOME SUBSTANTIAL MONEY
FOR LARGE SERVERS STORAGE THAT I
AMPLE SIZE LARGE. OTHER
PROVISIONS I PROP ONE RELATED
TO GROUNDWATER RECHARGE ANOTHER
IMPORTANT ASPECT. THE WATER. I
REMEMBER SO VIVIDLY ONE NIGHT OF
TWO IN THE MORNING. THEN
GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER'S
OFFICE. THEY WERE DISCUSSING.
PROP ONE. IN ALL THE DISCUSSION
CENTERED AROUND THE POLITICS.
AND I BECAME VERY IRRITATED I
BLURTED OUT TO MY FEARS AND
GOVERNOR DON'T YOU GET IT THIS
IS NOT ABOUT THE NEXT ELECTION.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT POLITICS. THIS
IS ABOUT OUR GRAND CHILDREN.
WHAT WILL BE THERE- LS WE HAVE
MORE CAPACITY STORAGE. THAT
FUTURE FOR WATER IT'S GOING TO
BE BLEAK. WE CANNOT CONSERVE OUR
WAY. INTO THE NEXT GENERATION
FOR ALL. I WE'VE ALSO SEEN THE
FAILURE OF PAST POLICIES OF
NEGLECT. I REMEMBER VIVIDLY
ABOUT A LITTLE OVER THREE YEARS
AGO STANDING ON THE OROVILLE DAM
. LOOKING DOWN AT THE LAKE. THE
LEVEL LAKE ALMOST AT DEADPOOL
MEANING THERE WAS NOT EVEN
ENOUGH WATER TO RUN THE ELECTRIC
. OUR FACILITY IN THE GENERATORS
A-ANT THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE WAS
SMOKE FROM FIRES. TWO THINGS THE
PRODUCT OF NEGLECT. LATER THE
SPILLWAY FAILURE. THAT'S YOUR
BILL MA'AM AGAIN A PRODUCT OF
DECADES OF NEGLECT. WE NEED TO
GET TO THE FUTURE SO WHAT ARE WE
DOING HERE. WELL MOST
IMPORTANTLY CREATING MOMENTUM
AND THE FOCUS BACK ON PROP ONE
THE VOTERS OVERWHELMINGLY.
SUPPORTED THIS. BUT SEVEN YEARS
HAS BEEN STAYS. NOTHING HAPPENED
NOT ONE SHOVEL TURNED TOWARDS
CREATING NEW STORAGE. I'D ARGUE
THAT SOMEONE IN PART BY DESIGN
AND PART BY THE BUREAUCRACIES
THAT WE HAVE GOT TO CONTEND WITH
. BUT THOSE BUREAUCRACIES ARE
NOT SENSITIVE IN MY OPINION TO
THE GENERATIONS BEFORE US. TO
THE WISDOM OF THE SIXTIES
GOVERNOR PAT BROWN AND OTHERS
WHO HAD VISIONS THAT DID SUCH
THINGS AS THE MASTER PLAN OF
HIGHER EDUCATION. THEY ALSO
CONCEIVED AND IMPLEMENTED THE
STATE WATER PROJECT. SO WHAT
WE'RE DOING HERE IS
SUBSTANTIVELY CREATING A FUND.
WHERE BY WHAT REVENUES WE MIGHT
ADDITIONALLY NEED FROM THE
ADDITION TO THE BOND. WHICH
OFFERED NEARLY TWO POINT SEVEN
FIVE BILLION. IS A MOMENTUM AND
A FOCUS ON THIS ISSUE. AND WE
REALLY NEEDED. WE'RE IN THE
THROES AND AGAIN IT WAS REALLY
KIND OF BETTER I AM. THAT IT
TOOK SO LONG TO GET KNOW WHERE.
BECAUSE THIS WAS CONCEIVED.
AMPLE TIME TO HAVE SOME
CONSTRUCTION AND SOME WATER
STORED. NOTHING HAS BEEN
ACHIEVED IN THE ENSUING YEARS.
MAYES CALIFORNIA'S CAPABLE THEN
. THE PROVIDING THE FUTURE OF
OUR CHILDREN. SO THIS WILL SET
IN PLACE THEN. SOME RESOURCES
AVAILABLE AND A COMMITMENT AGAIN
BY THE LEGISLATURE TO THE PEOPLE
THAT THERE WILL BE STORAGE THERE
WILL BE WATER. THERE WILL BE A
FUTURE. AND THIS ISN'T SIMPLY
FOR HUMANS UNDERSTAND THERE IS A
RIGHT OF THE HUMAN. TO HAVE
WATER. THAT MIGHT BE SOUND
AMUSING AND IRONIC BUT MYSELF
AND OTHERS AND OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS OVER THE YEARS
BEEN ABLE TO GET INTO THE WATER
CODES THE PROVISIONS THERE'S A
HUMAN RIGHT TO WATER. IT ALSO ON
THE COACH OF THE PROVISION
RELATED TO HUMAN USE OF WATER IN
THE TUB THAT'S INCLUDES
AGRICULTURE. PROVIDING FOOD FOR
OUR CITIZENS. SO MISTER CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS- I DO BEG YOUR
SUPPORT FOR THIS LEGISLATION. TO
ALLOW US IF YOU WILL TO
KICKSTART. NOT JUST THE DEBATE
OF THE FOCUS. BUT THE
PRIORITIZATION. THE CALL NOW
WITH THE EXTRA REVENUE AVAILABLE
FROM THE STATE LET'S FOCUS ON
INFRASTRUCTURE. THURMOND BUT I
SUBMIT WATER IS ONE THE MOST
IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF THAT
INFRASTRUCTURE. OTHER PARTS THAT
ARE IMPORTANT TO THE MAINTENANCE
OF OUR LEVEES AND REPAIRING
HISTORIC AND CURRENT.
DISABILITIES FOR CONVEYING WATER
AND STORING WATER. BUT THIS IS A
LEAP TO THE FUTURE. IF I MAY I'D
LIKE TO INTRODUCE MY COLLEAGUE-
CENTER VOYAGERS THEN AGAIN THE
MERIT OF THIS IS A MARRIAGE. OF
OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE. AND
RECALL AGAIN WATER IS NOT JUST
NORTH AND SOUTH. CENTRAL VALLEY
IS CITICALLY IMPORTANT AND EAST
AND WEST ARE ALSO IMPORTANT
THANK YOU. THANK YOU CENTER
NELSON. WELCOME CENTER BORDERS
THE USER NIELSEN IT'S HARD TO
FOLLOW CENTER NIELSEN. HIS
KNOWLEDGE. AND BACKGROUND LET A
LOT OF GRAVITY TO WHAT WE'RE
DISCUSSING TODAY. BUT GOOD
MORNING CHAIR- AND COLLEAGUES.
AS YOU JUST HEARD FROM MY
COLLEAGUE SENATOR NIELSEN SB

PROMISE THAT WAS MADE TO THE
VOTERS OF CALIFORNIA IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN. THE WATER QUALITY AND
SUPPLY IN INFRASTRUCTURE
IMPROVEMENT ACT OF TWENTY
FOURTEEN AS WE KNEW IT ASSEMBLY
BILL FOURTEEN SEVENTY ONE
AUTHORED BY THEN- COMMITTEE
CHAIR ANTHONY RENDON. AND THEN
SPEAKER OF THE ASSEMBLY TONI
ATKINS AS MANY OF YOU WILL
RECALL SOUGHT TO COMPREHENSIVELY
ADDRESS THE NEED FOR WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE IN CALIFORNIA.
THIS MAJOR BALLOT INITIATIVE
SPEARHEADED BY OUR LEGISLATIVE
LEADERS WAS A COLLABORATIVE
EFFORT BY DEMOCRATS REPUBLICANS
LOCAL WATER SUPPLIERS
CONSERVATION GROUPS CONSERVATION
GROUPS BUSINESS AND COMMUNITY
LEADERS TO STABILIZE OUR STATE'S
WATER SUPPLY. PROP ONE REPACKAGE
THE REMAINING UNUSED FUNDS A
PREVIOUS WATER BOND IN
AUTHORIZED BONDS IN THE AMOUNT
OF SEVEN POINT TWELVE BILLION TO
FINANCE A WATER QUALITY SUPPLY
AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM. MY COLLEAGUES WHO
SERVED BACK IN TWENTY FOURTEEN
MAY REMEMBER THE PREMISE OF THE
PROPOSITION AND ITS IMPORTANCE
TO THE LIVELIHOOD OF OUR STATE.
CALIFORNIA VOTERS CERTAINLY%
UNDERSTOOD THAT IT WAS TIME TO
ACT ON WATER STORAGE IN PASSED
THE PROPOSITION BY A TWO TO ONE
MARGIN TWO ONE. SUPPORTING THE
SEVEN POINT TWELVE BILLION WATER
BOND FOR WATER SUPPLY
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. AS
STATED IN THE TEXT OF THE
PROPOSITION AS IT APPEARED ON
THE BALLOT AND I HEADED OUT-
MATERIAL FOR YOUR REVIEW AS WELL
. CHAPTER EIGHT OF THE
PROPOSITION. STATEWIDE WATER
SYSTEM OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENT
IN DROUGHT PREPAREDNESS. THE SUM
OF TWO BILLION SEVEN HUNDRED
MILLION IS HEREBY CONTINUOUSLY
OPERATED FROM THE FUND WITHOUT
REGARD TO FISCAL YEARS TO THE
COMMISSION FOR PUBLIC BENEFITS.
AND I'LL DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO
THE FOLLOWING WORDS ASSOCIATED
WITH WATER STORAGE PROJECTS. THE
FUNDS AUTHORISED FOR WERE MADE
AVAILABLE TO THE WATER
COMMISSION PURSUANT TO THIS
CHAPTER SHALL BE AVAILABLE AND
EXPANDED ONLY FOR THE PURPOSES
PROVIDED IN THIS CHAPTER IT
SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO
APPROPRIATION TRANSFER BY THE
LEGISLATURE OR THE GOVERNOR FOR
ANY OTHER PURPOSE. FURTHER
ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT OF PROP ONE
SIGNED BY GET THEN GOVERNOR
JERRY BROWN. ALL LINGER

EIGHTEEN THE CALIFORNIA WATER
COMMISSION MADE FUNDS AVAILABLE
FOR EIGHT PROJECTS. TO BETWEEN
TWENTY FOURTEEN WHEN I WAS
PASSED IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN THE
WATER COMMISSION IDENTIFIED ODD
EIGHT PROJECTS INCLUDING THE
SITES RESERVOIR PROJECT.
CURRENTLY HOWEVER ALL OF THE
PROJECTS ARE STILL IN THE
PRELIMINARY PLANNING STAGE.
MONEY THAT WAS PROMISED TO
COMMUNITIES FOR WATER STORAGE IN
INFRASTRUCTURE IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN STILL SIT WAITING ON
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND PERMITS
. COLLEAGUES THIS IS NOT WHAT
CALIFORNIA VOTERS IMAGINE AN
INTENDED WHEN THEY CHOSE TO
SUPPORT THE INVESTMENT IN WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE. MANY ACROSS
CALIFORNIA ARE CONCERNED THE
LEGISLATURE IN THE
ADMINISTRATION. HAVE A ROAD THE
WILL OF THE PEOPLE IN DOWNGRADED
. THE PROMISE THE LEGAL PROMISE
. FOR A PROPOSITION ONE FROM A
LEGAL OBLIGATION UP HERE. TO A
PROMISE TO AN UNDERSTANDING TO A
HEAD. INTO A WINK AND A NOD.
UNTIL FINALLY WE ARRIVE RIGHT
WHERE WE ARE EIGHT YEARS LATER
WITH NO ADDITIONAL WATER STORAGE
. COLLEAGUES WHAT IS HAPPENED TO
THE SANCTITY OF THE VOTE.
PRESIDENT BIDEN SAID DEMOCRACY
DOESN'T HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT WE
HAVE TO DEFEND STRENGTHENED AND
RENEW IT TO ENSURE FREE AND FAIR
ELECTIONS THAT REFLECT THE WILL
OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IT JUST
LAST WEEK VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA
HARRIS STATED WE ALL KNOW
ALEXION'S MATTER. WHEN FOLKS
VOTE ORDER WHAT THEY WANT
DECISIVELY CALIFORNIA VOTERS
ORDERED WHAT THEY WANTED IN
TWENTY FOURTEEN AND IT WAS WATER
STORAGE. POLITICIANS IN THIS
BUILDING IN OUR NATION'S CAPITAL
CHAMPION VOTERS RIGHTS DEMANDING
INTEGRITY IN OUR ELECTION
OUTCOMES. WE'VE HEARD IN THE
STATE OF THE UNION AND WE'VE
HEARD IT SINCE THE TWENTY OF THE
LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. IN
THE LAST ELECTION THERE WAS A
CRITICAL COURSE TO ACCEPT THE
OUTCOME OF THE VOTE. SO HOW CAN
THERE BE INTEGRITY AND
TRANSPARENCY IN ELECTIONS IF WE
DON'T PROTECT THE SANCTITY OF
THE OUTCOME OF THE VOTE. IT'S
TIME THAT WE FOLLOW THROUGH WITH
WHAT WAS PROMISED IN PROPOSITION
ONE AND WORK TOWARDS CREATING A
RELIABLE WATER SUPPLY FOR OUR
STATE. I'M ASKING YOU TO JOIN IN
SUPPORTING SB EIGHT NINETY IN
MAKE THIS ISSUE RELEVANT TO THE
LEGISLATURE. THIS IS BIGGER THAN
. GETTING BEHIND THE- THE
FRUITION OF A DAM IT IS ABOUT
PROTECTING WHAT WAS PROMISED HIM
IN PROP ONE BY SUPPORTING THIS
MEASURE TODAY IT WOULD CONTINUE
THE CONVERSATION AND ALLOW THE
FULL BODY OF THE SENATE AND ITS
CONSTITUENT COMMITTEES. THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DEBATE THE BILL
ON ITS MERITS I AM URGING YOU
COLLEAGUES TO RESPECT THE WILL
OF THE VOTER AND RESTORE
INTEGRITY CHORE ELECTIVE PROCESS
. IF YOU HAVE HEARTBURN TODAY ON
THIS ISSUE. MAY I REMIND YOU
COLLEAGUES THAT THROUGHOUT THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS IN BOTH
HOUSES WE ROUTINELY. TRY TO
BUILD COALITIONS AND WORK
TOGETHER TO ALLOW THE PRODUCT TO
BECOME. A BETTER VERSION OF
ITSELF. I'M ASKING FOR THAT
COURTESY TODAY AS WELL ALLOW

HORROR STORIES DISTRICT RESEARCH
EIGHTY NINE THOUSAND ACRES OF
FARMLAND SOUTH OF BAKERSFIELD.
SB NINETY IS IMPORTANT TO THE
DISTRICT. ZERO WATER FROM
FORMULA. FRANK NOW IS PROVIDING
ONE POINT 8% OF THE PUBLIC WATER
AGENCY FUNDING FROM THE SITES
RESERVOIR PROJECT. WILL RICH
THANKS TO SPONSOR THIS BILL FOR
THEIR LEADERSHIP ON THESE ISSUES
. WELL I AGREE IN LARGE PART
WITH THE COMEDIAN ANALYSIS ON
THIS BILL I SUBMIT FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION THE FOLLOWING
THREE POINTS. FIRST THE NRDC
COMMENTS CONTAIN ERRORS THIS
BILL DOES NOT EARMARKED ANY
FUNDS SITES PROJECT IS
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND THE
BILL DOES NOT DIVERT FUNDING
AWAY FROM PER PROJECTS NEEDED TO
ENSURE SAFE AND AFFORDABLE
WATER. TO THE COMEDIAN ALSO
STATES THE PROPOSED FUND WHICH
SHIFT AWAY FROM BENEFICIARIES
PAY. I KNOW THIS PRINCIPLE DOES
NOT APPLY AT ALL STATE FUNDS
APPLIED TO WATER PROJECTS ARE
GOOD EXAMPLES THE STATE'S
LONGSTANDING LOAN GRANT PROGRAM
TO FUND DRINKING WATER SUPPLY
TREATMENT FACILITIES
PARTICULARLY FOR DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES. FURTHERMORE EVERY
CONSTITUENT OF EVERY SENATOR ON
THIS COMMITTEE IS A BENEFICIARY
OF THE FOOD BROWN BY CALIFORNIA
FARMERS MANY OF WHOM RECEIVER
WILL RECEIVE WATER FROM THE
CANALS ARE PROJECT DESCRIBED IN
THIS BILL. THIRD THE COMMISSION
ALSO STATES IT IS NOT CLEAR THE
SITES PROJECT NEEDS ADDITIONAL
MONEY AND IF IT DOES HOW MUCH
FUNDING IT WOULD NEED. TO
FUNDING GAPS OF FUTURE
APPROPRIATIONS TO THIS FUND
COULD FILL. FIRST A CURRENT
SITES THREE POINT NINE BILLION
DOLLAR COST ESTIMATE IS BASED ON
10% DESIGNED AN INCOMPLETE
GEOTECHNICAL INFORMATION. IF
COSTS INCREASE AS ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE
FUND COULD FILL THAT GAP. SECOND
PROPOSITION ONE DOES NOT PROVIDE
FUNDS TO PAY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
WATER. BORNE IN RESPONSE SUCH AS
FACILITY MAINTENANCE COMPLAINTS
COSTS IN ORDER TO FULLY REALIZE
THE PROPOSITION ONE FUNDED BENEFITS. THE
SOURCE TO PAY. SUCH COSTS
NECESSARY. YOUR PROOF BECAUSE
PUBLIC FUNDING FOR FUTURE PUBLIC
FOR CANALS REPAIRS IS CRITICAL
FOR MAINTAINING CALIFORNIA'S
WATER SUPPLIES PM RESPONDING TO
CLIMATE CHANGE. THIS CANALS
PROVIDER NATION WATER TO GROW
FOR THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY WHICH
PROVIDES A LARGE PORTION OF THE
NATION'S FRUITS NUTS AND
VEGETABLES. DECREASE CANAL
DELIVERIES REDUCE WATER
AVAILABLE TO GROW THIS FOOD
THEREFORE AFFECT EVERY
CALIFORNIA. PRESSED CAN OF
CANNELLA CAPACITIES IS ALSO
NECESSARY TO ALLOW HE CREASED
FLOOD FLOWS FROM CLIMATE CHANGE
TO BE DELIVERED TO THE BALLOT
ALSO DECREASED BROWN WATER
PUMPING. INTO STATE MANDATED.
STANBOROUGH WATER MANAGEMENT.
THIS SHOULD ALSO BE A BECAUSE
THE SITES RESERVOIR PROJECT FOR
SUSTAINABLY ADDING TO
CALIFORNIA'S FUTURE WATER
SUPPLIES RESPONDING TO CLIMATE
CHANGE. THIS PROJECT WILL
PROVIDE DRAW YOUR WATER SUPPLIES
FOR FOOD SECURE. MUNICIPALITIES
AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROVIDE
FLEXIBILITY TO STORE INCREASED
FLOOD FLOWS THROUGH CLIMATE
CHANGE AND RELEASE THIS WATER IN
DROUGHT YEARS WHEN IS SORELY
NEEDED. THANK YOU. I THANK YOU

FOOT CONTROLLER ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION WELL WATER DISTRICTS

GET FROM THE PROJECT AS A VOTERS
GUIDE EXPLAINS. THAT CA NINETY
VIOLATES THIS PROMISE OF PROP
ONE AND THE BENEFICIARY PAYS
PRINCIPLE AND IS INCONSISTENT
WITH THE VOTERS APPROVAL OF THE
MEASURE IN TWENTY FOURTEEN.
ENERGY DOES NOT OPPOSE ALL WATER
STORES PROJECTS HOWEVER WE HAVE
OTHER RESERVOIR PROJECT WOULD
HARM SALMON AND THE HEALTH OF
THE DELTA ESTUARY. CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL CONCLUDED IN
WRITTEN COMMENTS IN JANUARY OF
THIS YEAR THIS IS RESERVOIRS
PROPOSAL CAUSE SIGNIFICANT
IMPACTS TO SALMON THE
ENVIRONMENT. STATE TAXPAYERS
SHOULD NOT SUBSIDIZE THIS
ENVIRONMENTALLY DESTRUCTIVE
PROJECTS. REALLY THE BILL
PROPOSES EARMARKED TO PROVIDE
TAXPAYER SUBSIDIES FOR CANAL
REPAIRS WHICH WERE CAUSED BY
UNSUSTAINABLE GROUNDWATER
PUMPING. DIVERTS THE LIMITED
STATE FUNDING AWAY FROM REAL
PROJECTS TO ENSURE SAFE AND
AFFORDABLE DRINKING WATER FOR
ALL CALIFORNIANS AND INSTEAD OF
TAXPAYER SUBSIDIES THOSE WHO
DAMAGE THESE CANAL SHOULD HAVE
TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.
THEREFORE URGED MEMBERS VOTE NO

OPPOSE SB EIGHT NINETEEN THE
LARGEST RECIPIENT FUNDING FROM

PROJECT WHICH IS WBG STATED
WOULD HARM SALMON AND REALLY
SEVEN RUNS ARE IN A DANGEROUS OF
STATE TODAY. IN TWENTY TWENTY
ONE SOME RUNS LOST MORE THAN 99%
OF THEIR JUVENILES WERE AT RISK
OF LOSING WHILE RUNS OF. SECOND
RIVER SALMON RUNS OF THE
CORNERSTONE OF CALIFORNIANS ONE
POINT FOUR BILLION DOLLARS
SALMON FISHING INDUSTRY- THAT
INDUSTRY FACED SEVERE FISHING
AND- RESTRICTIONS LAST YEAR.
WILL FACE AGAIN THIS YEAR. SO
THE THESE UNDERSTAND SALMON RUNS
RISK MORE DAMAGE SUCH AS TO THE
ENVIRONMENT BUT THE FISHING JOBS
IN FISHING COMMUNITIES WE NEED
TO RESTORE SALMON RUNS NOT FUND
PROJECTS THAT WOULD WORSEN THE
CURRENT CRISIS. I WANTED TO SAY
THAT WE ALSO DO NOT- OPPOSE NEW
STORAGE PROJECTS WE'VE ACTUALLY
BUILT THE DOZENS OF STORAGE
PROJECTS LAST NUMBER OF DECADES
I'D BE HAPPY TO DISCUSS THAT
WITH YOU IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.
FINALLY THE BILL DOESN'T ADDRESS
OTHER ESSENTIALS WATER SUPPLY
TOOLS CONSERVATION RECYCLING
URBAN STORMWATER CAPTURE
RESTORING FLOOD PLAINS TO
RECHARGE GROUNDWATER THE
PROJECTS SB EIGHT NINETY. BE
FUNDED PRIMARILY BY URBAN
TAXPAYERS WOULD BE
DISPROPORTIONATELY BUT WOULD-DISPROPORTIONATELY BENEFIT

NAME IS ERIN WILEY HOW
CALIFORNIA HE OPPOSE. AT THE-
THANK YOU NEXT. WE HAVE NO
FURTHER OPPOSITION IN THE QUEUE
OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH- WE'VE
HEARD FROM ALL SUPPORT AND
OPPOSITION MEMBERS OF BRING IT
BACK TO THE DICE QUESTIONS
COMMENTS- SIR WAYS ON A COME
BACK TO CENTER GROVE. THANK YOU-
APPRECIATE THE ABILITY TO
COMMENT ON THIS BILL- I WAS HERE
WHEN WE APPROVE THE WATER BOND
AND- YOU KNOW THEY THAT ENTIRE
FUNDING PROCESS WAS PUT AROUND
A- STRATEGY ON HOW WE WOULD
RESTORE. WATER TO CALIFORNIA AND
IF IT- PEOPLE RECALL PROBABLY
THE POLITICAL PRESSURE HERE IN
THE CAPITAL'S TIED DOWN BECAUSE
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO BETTER MANAGE
WATER RESOURCES BUT BACK THEN
WERE MATH WE WERE FACING
ENORMOUS PRESSURE. BECAUSE OUR
DAMS ACROSS THE STATE PRETTY
MUCH ALMOST ESPECIALLY IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY WERE COMPLETELY-
EMPTY AND I REMEMBER GOING TO-
THE LAKE JUST SOUTH OF
SACRAMENTO- AND ACTUALLY WALKING
IN THE BASE. OF THE OF THE LAKE
OR IN THE RESERVOIR WAS OLDER.
AND WAS BARELY ENOUGH WATER IN
THERE. HELLO I MEAN THERE WERE
THERE WEREN'T EVEN FLOWS FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL PURPOSES ANYMORE.
AND IT WAS SHOCKING TO ME THAT.
WE HAD LET OUR STATE GO TO SUCH
AN EXTREME SITUATION. WE PASSED
SUBSEQUENT LEGISLATION RIGHT
RELATED TOPICS FERRIC RIVERS
SIGMA- WHERE WE WERE ALLOWED TO-
ALSO WHILE WORKING WITH THE ARMY
CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO TIME THE
RELEASES TO BETTER MANAGE- THE
FLOWS IN OUR RIVERS. I WON I WON
A REFLECT ON THE FACT THAT THIS
WAS A BIPARTISAN SOLUTION
BECAUSE- WE SAW OUR STATE
FALLING APART. AND I DON'T EVER-WANT TO RETURN TO THAT AND ONE
OF THE ONE OF THE AGREEMENTS WAS
THAT WE WOULD FORM A PLAN
AROUND. INCREASED CAPTURE
CAPTURE OF GROUND WATER CAPTURE
IN IN RESERVOIRS. AND IT- IT
MAKES ME VERY SAD THAT WE'VE
DONE VERY LITTLE IF YET NOTHING
I KNOW WE HAVE BUILT SOME
SMALLER RESERVOIRS THAT ALLOW
CAPTURE. INTO GROUNDWATER WHICH
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO OFFSET
SUBSIDENCE THAT IN SOME AREAS
THIS IS- CHANGED UP TO THIRTY
FEET OF SUBSIDENCE THAT IS
REFRESHING THE FLOWS. WHEN WE
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT- FISH-
MAINTENANCE- MAINTENANCE
MAINTAINING THE POPULATIONS
CALIFORNIA MUST DO SOMETHING. TO
REVERSE THOSE FLOWS AND BETTER
MANAGE THE FLOWS AND CAPTURE
MORE RAINFALL DURING THESE
ATMOSPHERIC EVENTS ARE BECOMING.
A MORE MORE CHARACTERISTIC OF
THE STATUS QUO IN CALIFORNIA. I
DON'T KNOW THAT THIS BILL IS A
SOLUTION READING IT I SEE THAT
IT HAS SOME GOOD PROVISIONS AND
I GUESS THE INTENT IS TO SPEND
SOME OF THAT MONEY THAT WAS SET
ASIDE FOR RESERVOIRS AND I
SUPPORT THAT. AND I REALLY WOULD
HOPE THAT THE AUTHORS WORK WITH
THE WITH THE COMMUNITY TO.
IDENTIFY A BETTER STRATEGY IN
TERMS OF HOW TO INVEST THAT
MONEY BECAUSE WE NEED. I WAS I
WAS POURING THROUGH THE BILL AND
THEN AND THEN IT DOESN'T MATTER.
CREATE SOME FUNDING- CATEGORIES
I DIDN'T SEE SITES THERE- AND SO
THE WITH THE CONCERN THAT ALL
THIS MONEY WILL GO TO SITES I
THINK IS- COMPLETELY UNFOUNDED
IN TERMS OF. HOW THE BILL IS
CRAFTED. IF WE DO INVEST THE
MONEY I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
IT'S SCIENTIFIC BECAUSE- ONE WAY
I'M TO BETTER MANAGE FLOWS TO
MAKE SURE WE SUPPORT THE SALMON
POPULATIONS THAT WE CONTINUE
THOSE FLOWS OUTWARD TO THE OCEAN
AND THERE IS NO REVERSAL OF
THOSE FLOWS AND I THINK A- A
RESERVOIR COULD HELP. MANAGE
THAT OUR RESERVOIRS ARE
CURRENTLY HELPING TO MANAGE THAT
WHY CAN'T A NEW RESERVOIR IN ITS
DESIGN CONTRIBUTE TO THAT. AND
YOU KNOW I'M CONCERNED AS SITE
ONE OF THE THINGS I ALWAYS DO I
FLY FROM SAN DIEGO EVERY WEEK.
AND I ALWAYS SAID ON THE SIDE OF
THE AIRPLANE TO CHECK THAT THE
DAM LEVELS AND THE- AND THE AND
THE SNOW CAPPED. AND I I'M SEEN-
THAT WERE OUR OUR RESERVOIRS ARE
RECEDING DESPITE HAVING SNOW
CAPPED. AS VERY CONCERNING. THAT
WE MAY BE RETURNING ESPECIALLY
DURING THIS CURRENT PROLONGED
DROUGHT. TO A SITUATION WHERE WE
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH STORAGE TO
PREVENT- OUR DAMS FROM BEING
COMPLETELY EMPTIED AS THEY WERE
SEVEN YEARS AGO EIGHT YEARS AGO
SO I WOULD HOPE THAT- YOU TAKE
UP THIS CAUSE. WITH THE
IMPORTANT TO DESERVES I'D LIKE
TO JOIN YOUR EFFORT. IN MAKING
SURE THAT CALIFORNIA COULD BUILD
OUT NECESSARY STORAGE SO WE CAN
CAPTURE THE RUNOFF FROM THE
ATMOSPHERIC RIVER EVENTS. I
DON'T I DON'T WANNA- NO I THERE
WAS AN AGREEMENT ASIAN THAT THE
PREVIOUS GOVERNOR HE'S HE
SUPPORTED THIS AND HE WANTED
THIS TO SEE THROUGH BUT HE HE-
HE PREDICTEDTHAT THESE NONE OF
THESE TERMS OR OVER THE BILL AND
THAT THAT MADE ME VERY SAD THAT-
THAT WE SHOULD CONTEMPLATE A
SITUATION WHICH WE RAISE MONEY
FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE AND VOTER
APPROVAL FOR IT AND ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING. TO FOLLOW UP ON THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT PLAN AND
I THINK IT BEHOOVES LEGISLATURE
TO TAKE THIS ISSUE VERY
SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THIS IS GOING
TO CONTINUE TO PLAGUE THE STATE
FOR MANY YEARS TO COME AND WE
NEED TO INVEST IN THAT
INFRASTRUCTURE IN A
ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS WAY
THAT CAN POTENTIALLY SOLVE BOTH
THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
RELATED TO- MIGRATORY FISH IN
OUR RIVERS AND THE NEEDS TO
PROVIDE. ENOUGH WATER FOR
CALIFORNIANS AND FARMING AND-
AND EVEN WHAT WILL BE A GROWING
CONCERN FIGHTING FIRES SO- I
WANNA- SUPPORT THIS BILL TODAY
AND HOPE THAT THROUGH THIS
COMMITTEE- AND HAVE THE CHAIR
WORK WITH THESE- INTO. SEES US
SENATORS TO PUT TOGETHER A BILL
THAT'S WORTHY OF THE SUPPORT OF
THE LEGISLATURE SO WE CAN WORK
ON THIS MATTER. OKAY THANK YOU
CENTER HUESO AT CENTER GROVE IN
OVER CENTER EGGMAN. I THINK YOU
MISTER TERRIFIC THANK A MINDED
CALLING FROM IMPERIAL COUNTY SAN
DIEGO FOR HIS COMMENTS AND ALSO
THINK- THE GOOD SENATOR THE DEAN
OF THE SENATE TO FROM TO HIM MAY
AND THE SENATOR FROM FRESNO FOR
BRINGING THIS. PIECE OF
LEGISLATION FORWARD. YOU KNOW- I
THINK THAT. THE LEGISLATION VERY
WELL THOUGHT OUT AND I
APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THEY
HAVE NOT ONLY INCLUDED JESSE
AREAS THAT THEY REPRESENT BUT
ALL. SEVERAL WATERWAYS THAT NEED
TO BE FIXED OR ADDRESSED
THROUGHOUT OUR STATE. IF YOU
LOOK AT JUST THE FRANK KERN CAN
NOW THE DELTA MENDOTA CANAL- THE
SAN LUIS FIELD DIVISION OF THE
CALIFORNIA OUTPUT AT. THE SAN
JOAQUIN DIVISION OF THE
CALIFORNIA AQUIDNECK INSIGHTS
RESERVE OR- THAT IS IN THIS I
THINK IT'S A WELL THOUGHT OUT
PLAN FOR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE-
SO THAT WE- DELIVERY SERVICES
THROUGHOUT OUR STATE. AND I
THINK YOU FOR USING THE
RESOURCES THAT WERE ALL YEAH
ALREADY ALLOCATED- BY S. B. ONE.
SPEAKING NOW FOR MY DISTRICT
WHICH IS. A GOOD RIGHT NOW KERN
TULARE AND SAMBAR TO DINO
COUNTY- KERN AND TULARE OR THE
TOP TWO SEEDS ME THAT SECOND AND
THIRD FOOD PRODUCING COUNTIES IN
THE WORLD. FRESNO IS OBVIOUSLY
THE FIRST. BUT THE CENTRAL
VALLEY PRODUCES- IT THE WE
PRODUCE FOOD AND FOOD SECURITY
FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD. AND IF
THIS POLITICAL BATTLE DOESN'T
STOP IN WE SPOKE AND WE STOP CAN
PLEASE DON'T STOP. THE ARGUMENT
ABOUT SENDING FOOD TO THE
CENTRAL VALLEY OR C. SKEWS ME
SENDING WATER TO THE CENTRAL
VALLEY WE'RE GONNA HAVE A MAJOR
PROBLEM. BECAUSE THERE ARE OVER
A HUNDRED AND TWENTY COMMODITIES
THAT WE GROW IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY THAT AREN'T GROWN
ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD. AND
SO MY CONCERN IS WHAT'S THE
BACKUP PLAN. IF WE DON'T PASS
SOLID LEGISLATION LIKE THAT'S
WHAT'S BEFORE US TODAY TO MAKE
SURE THAT WATER DELIVERY GOES TO
THE CENTRAL VALLEY AND OTHER
PARTS OF OUR STATE. IF WE CAN'T
ADEQUATELY SUPPLY OF FARMERS AND
RANCHERS AND GROWERS THAT GROW
OUR FOOD WHAT WHAT'S THE BACKUP
PLAN DO WE GET IT FROM FOREIGN
COUNTRIES DO WE GET FROM
VENEZUELA DO WE GET IT FROM NEXT
. BECAUSE LIKE I SAID INDEED AS
ARE SEVERAL COMMODITIES WERE 99%
OF OUR FOOD IS GROWN IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY. NO MY COLLEAGUE
THAT SITS ON RULES WITH ME
HERE'S ABOUT THE CENTRAL VALLEY
AND WHAT WE DO FOR THE STATE IN
THE NATION. ON A CONTINUOUS
BASIS BASIS BUT AGAIN. A LOT OF
PEOPLE IN THE DISTRICTS- THE
EVEN. FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE ON
THIS DIET. THEY EAT A KIWI FRUIT
OLIVES FIGS PLUMS DRIED DATES
PEACHES ORANGES CARROTS- THE
PISTACHIOS MOM AT THE MOMENT
ALMONDS ALMOND FLOUR- PEOPLE
THAT ARE GLUTEN FREE. WE PRODUCE
THAT FOR THEM IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY AND SO- I APPLAUD YOU FOR
BRINGING THIS. BILL FORWARD
AGAIN I THINK IT WAS VERY
STRATEGIC AND VERY WELL THOUGHT
OUT A TO INCLUDE SOME OF THE
MAJOR PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE WITH
THE CANALS AND APOTEX IN OUR
STATE. THAT WOULD FIX THIS I
APPRECIATE MY COLLEAGUES
COMMENTS AGAIN FROM IMPERIAL
COUNTY IN SAN DIEGO FOR
SUPPORTING THIS BILL. BECAUSE IT
IS A VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT BILL
AND IT DOES ADDRESS THE ISSUES
THAT WE FACE- FOR WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE IN OUR STATE SO
THANK YOU. THANK YOU CENTER
GROVE CENTER EGGMAN. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH AND I ALSO WANNA I
THINK THE TWO SENATORS- FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD TODAY I
WAS HERE ALSO WHEN WE PASSED SB
ONE AND ERA WAS AS PURE AB ONE.
IT WOULD PROP ONE- AND WAS THE-
MERCED AT THE TABLE AS THE ONE
OF THE VOICES FROM THE DELTA AND
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WATER- I
WOULD I WAS INTRIGUED WITH THIS
BILL AND LIKE I THINK FROM MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN DIEGO IT'S
KINDA KINDA DUG IN- IN YOUR PEER
PEER WITNESSES ANYWAY I
APPRECIATE MY COLLEAGUE FROM-
KERN COUNTY TO SAYING THIS NOT
JUST ABOUT SITES BUT THAT SEEMS
TO BE WHAT WE'RE WE'RE FOCUSING
ON IS SITES AND THAT'S WHAT
YOU'RE LEAD WITNESS TALKED
ABOUT. FROM SUPPORT THE SITES
RESERVOIR WHICH OF COURSE IS
NORTH OF US AND THEN HE SAID
HE'S FROM SOUTH THE BAKERSFIELD
WHICH COURSES FOR SOUTH OF US
WHICH FINDS ME SITTING RIGHT IN
THE MIDDLE IN BETWEEN THERE
WHICH IS IN THE- REPRESENTING
THE DELTA- SO PART OF WHAT WE
DID WHEN WE CRAFTED A
PROPOSITION ONE WAS TO REDUCE.
ARE THE GOALS WERE TO REDUCE
RELIANCE ON ABOVE GROUND STORAGE
AND REDUCE RELIANCE ON THE DELTA
AND TO INCREASE- THROUGH AND WE
ALSO THAT'S WHEN PASSED SEGMENT
THE SAME TIME TO ACTUALLY MANAGE
OUR OUR WATER OUR WATER TABLES-
WAS TO REDUCE. OUTSIDE RELIANCE
AND PEOPLE FOCUS MORE ON THEIR
LOCAL WATER STORAGE AND WE HAVE
DONE A LOT OF THAT WE HAVE DONE
A LOT OF SMALLER UNDERGROUND
PROJECTS HAVE GROUND WATER
RECHARGE- SMALLER- I WOULD LOVE
SEWER PROJECTS WE HAVE. TOTALLY
THREE CRAFTED AND THANK YOU TO
OUR AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY. HOW
WE FARM THE WATER WE FARM WITH
OTHER TECHNIQUES WE'VE USED
FOREVER WE HAVE YOU KNOW FLOODED
OUR FIELD AND NOW WE REALIZE
THAT IS NOT A GOOD USE OF OUR
WATER. AND I THINK ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WERE MISSING IN THIS
CONVERSATION- THAT MIKE MY FOR
MY COLLEAGUE FROM BAKER FROM
SENDING ALLUDED TO WALKING ON.
THE BOTTOMS OF RESERVOIRS AND
WE'VE ALL HAD THAT EXPERIENCE
NOW WHY IS THAT. WELL IT'S
BECAUSE THERE'S A DROUGHT.
THERE'S A HORRIBLE DROUGHT WE
ARE SUFFERING FROM CLIMATE
CHANGE WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE WAY
WE DO EVERYTHING. AND YET IT
SEEMS LIKE WE STILL WANT TO
DOUBLE DOWN TO TWO TECHNIQUES
THAT WE'VE USED. URGING YEARS
AGO SO WE TRIED TO STORE THE
WATER- VERSUS CONTINUING. TO
ACCOMMODATE I THINK WHAT WE SEE
BEFORE US THAT THERE'S NO
THERE'S NO WAY TO SUGGEST WHEN
THE REST OF OUR- STORAGE
FACILITIES ARE EMPTY. THAT SIDE
WOULD BE FULL IT WOULD BE ONE
MORE EMPTY ONE BECAUSE WE ARE
FACING A TERRIBLE TERRIBLE DROP.
NOW MY COLLEAGUE FROM KERN
COUNTY TALKS ABOUT HER LONG
HISTORY IN CALIFORNIA AND MY
FEELING WAS IN HERE AS LONG AS
HERS WAS MINE WAS STILL BREAKING
AWAY FROM- FROM MEXICO AND THE
AND THE- AND THE DUST BOWL. BUT
WHEN WE GOT HERE WE STARTED
WORKING IN THE AGRICULTURE FIELD
UP AND DOWN THE STATE PICKING
FRUIT ANNA AND GOT INTO
BEEKEEPING NOW I'LL TELL YOU BE
KEEPING CALIFORNIA HAS A LONG
HISTORY. AND IT IS KIND OF
ALMOST NO MORE. AND YOU KNOW WHY
THAT IS THAT'S BECAUSE THE
DROUGHT. MBES CAN'T SURVIVE
WHERE THERE'S NOTHING GROWING.
SO TODAY IF YOU LOOK AROUND OVER
TWO POINT TOOK TWO MILLION HIVES
OF BEES THAT ARE IMPORTED INTO
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO
SERVICE OUR ALMONDS. THAT WE
EXPORT AROUND THE WORLD AND IT
IS ONE OF OUR NUMBER ONE CROPS
AND I'M MISSING IS NOT IMPORTANT
WE HAD TWENTY ACRES ALMOST WHEN
I WAS GROWING UP. NOT TO SAY
THAT MY THERE'S A FULL TIME
COMMERCIAL BEEKEEPER GOD REST
HIS SOUL WOULD BE HORRIFIED. AND
WHEN I WENT TO MY COUSIN'S
FUNERAL COUPLE MONTHS AGO MY ONE
OF MY COUSINS STILL BE KEEPING
SAID YOU KNOW COUSIN BEEKEEPER
STEVE FIRST I'M TANYA AND
BEEKEEPER SEAT FIRST AND WE'RE
ALL FOR ALL. YOU CAME IN YOU CAN
NO NO LONGER MAKE A LIVING
BECAUSE NOTHING'S GOING ANYWAY
MY POINT IS WE NEED TO CONTINUE
TO TRANSFORM THE WAY WE'RE DOING
THINGS. CONTINUE TO TRANSFORM
OUR PRACTICE SEES. AND TO DO
THAT IN A WAY THAT IS IN HARMONY
AND- TAKES INTO ACCOUNT. THE
CONTEXT IN THE WORLD THAT WE'RE
LIVING IN. SO THE IN OUR NILES
IS CLEARLY SAYS IN WITNESS. WE
COULD USE THIS FOR THAT OR WE
COULD USE IT FOR THAT THAT THERE
IS CURRENTLY IN A FUNDING FOR
SITES RESERVOIR. BUT THEY HAVE
NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ALL. WORK
THROUGH ALL THE PERMIT. PROCESS
SO. I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING
THIS TODAY AND I JUST WANT. US
TO CONTINUE TO THINK ABOUT THE
MOMENT THE WISEST USE OF OUR
RESOURCES AND MONIES. TO
CONTINUE- TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE
ENOUGH THINGS TO EAT AND OUR-
CROPS CONTINUE TO GROW. AND WE
CONTINUE HAVE A BIO DIVERSITY-
IN OUR ENVIRONMENT- SO I
APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THIS
FORWARD AND I APPRECIATE YOUR
PASSION ARGUMENTS- BUT I WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS TO
THINK. THANK SERIGNE WESTERN
CENTER LAYERED. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR. OF A DEBATE THAT I
PARTICIPATED IN WEARING A NUMBER
OF DIFFERENT HATS THROUGH THE
YEARS AND I THINK ONE OF MY BIG
CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR
BILL IS THE ISSUE OF BENEFICIARY
PAYS IT AND I SAY THAT BECAUSE
TO PLAY OFF OF THE PRESENTATION
IT SAID IT WAS A WEDDING BETWEEN
THE TWO HOURS WELL UNFORTUNATELY
THE COASTAL COUSIN WAS NOT
INVITED TO THE WEDDING. BUT WE
WERE INVITED TO PAY TAXES TO PAY
FOR THE WEDDING. AND THAT IS THE
ISSUE IS THAT BOB BOB WE DO NOT
IMPORT WATER AND MOST OF MY
SENATE DISTRICT TEN YET THE
TAXES WOULD GO TO DEAL WITH ONE
OTHER PART OF THE STTE FOR AND
WANTED IS. A AND OF TE SENATOR
FROM BAKERSFIELD IS EXACTLY
RIGHT J. YET THE RULES COMMITTEE
SHE DOES A GREAT SERVICE TO HER
DISTRICT AT EVERY MEETING AND I
STARTED TO WRITE IT DOWN BUT I
CAN NO LONGER KEEP A RUNNING
TALLY OF. THE NUMBER OF CROPS OF
THE PERCENT THE THINGS THAT THAT
GET STATED. AT THAT HEARING BUT
I WOULD ALSO SAY. THE IF YOU GO
TO THE CENTER COAST YOUR MORE
CROPS OF LETTUCE ABLE TO BE
GROWN IN A YEAR THAN ANYWHERE
ELSE IN THE UNITED STATES YOU
WOULD FIND STRAWBERRIES YOU'D
FIND OR CHOKES YOU UPON BRUSSEL
SPROUTS. YOU'D FIND THE
TRADITIONAL HOME OF APPLES AND
MARTIN ALWAYS. AND NOT A DIME
WOULD GO. TO THE REALLY
PLENTIFUL VALLEY. AGRICULTURE
INDUSTRIES IN THE SALINAS VALLEY
WITH UPON HER OF ALLEY. AND I
THINK THAT'S THE HARDEST THING
IS TO BALANCE. THE ALSO THE
ELECTORAL PROCESS WAS AND VOTE
AND IF YOU READ THE PROPOSITION
ONE IT WAS IMPLEMENTED EXACTLY
AS WRITTEN. ONE OF THE
INTERESTING THINGS I WALKED FROM
THE OUTSIDE HAS- THE CABINET
SECRETARY. THE BALLOT MEASURE. A
REALLY HELD FOR TWO YEARS BEFORE
THE ALLOCATIONS WOULD BE MADE
FOR STORAGE. AND THERE WAS
ACTUALLY A LEGISLATIVE MOVE THAT
ONE POINT TWO TO CUT THAT TIME
WE NEED IT NOW AND YET. IT WAS
THE PEOPLE DOING THE PROJECTS
FOR STORAGE THAT SAID PLEASE LET
US HAVE THE TIME BECAUSE WE
WON'T HAVE THE LAND IN PLACE WE
WON'T HAVE THE MONEY WE WON'T
HAVE THE COMMITMENTS FROM
DIFFERENT AGENCIES. WE NEED TO
GET THOSE IN PLACE TO BE ABLE TO
QUALIFY FOR THE MONEY AS THE
BALLOT MEASURE IS WRITTEN. AND
THOSE ARE THE ISSUES. THAT THE
UNFORTUNATE HAVE HAVE LED TO NO
CONSTRUCTION AT THIS POINT I
WANT CONSTRUCTION THAT'S WHAT
THE BALLOT MEASURE WAS ABOUT IT
WAS TO GET IT OUT THE DOOR FOR
THAT. BUT THERE AREN'T MANY.
LOCATIONS LEFT IN THE STATE.
THERE THERE AREN'T MANY PEOPLE
WANT TO PARTNER. THERE IS THE
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS AND
NO AMOUNT OF MONEY IN THIS BILL
BY OUR WAY OUT OF THAT SITUATION
THAT WILL STILL BE THE SAME
SITUATION REGARDLESS. OF WHAT
COMES OUT OF THIS BILL. IN AND
SO AND THE ODD IN. THAT MORE
MONEY WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
AND THAT IS NOT WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN HERE. AND SO- I
RELUCTANTLY I'M NOT GOING TO
SUPPORT THIS BILL AND I THINK.
LAST YEAR WE HAD US A SIMILAR
BILL- BYE BYE VALLEY SENATOR AND
- I GAVE THE BENEFICIARY PAYS
SPEECH WAS PREDICATED ON FEDERAL
AND LOCAL- PARTICIPATION AND I
ASKED THAT THAT BE WRITTEN IN.
IN THE END THE BILL SORT OF DIED
TO DEATH IN PART OVER THOSE
ISSUES THEN I THINK THAT IF THE
BILL'S GOING TO BE DONE LIKE
THIS IT NEEDS TO START WITH
BENEFICIARY PAYS. AND ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WAS THE SUCCESS OF
THE BOND. HE SAID EVERYBODY IN
THE STATE GOT SOMETHING. YOU
COULD CONSERVE OUR PRE WHERE YOU
COULD DO WATER RECYCLING
EVERYWHERE YOU COULD DO GROUND
WATER MANAGEMENT EVERYWHERE. AND
YET THIS IS JUST REALLY A
GEORAPHIC SPECIFIC BILL THAT
EVERY TAXPAYER WOULD PAY FOR IT
AND SO I THINK THAT'S THE
PROBLEM AND- I AM HAPPY OVER
TIME TO WORK ON THIS BECAUSE- OF
THE CHANGING CLIMATE MEANS. THAT
WE ACTUALLY HAVE A WATER SYSTEM
THAT WAS DESIGNED FOR A CLIMATE
NO LONGER EXISTS AND WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE TO BE DEALING WITH
ALL THE CHANGES OVER TIME. YOU
KNOW MY FAMILY HAS THIS FOR
SERVICE CABIN IN OUR ALPINE
COUNTY AND HAD IT FOR FORTY FIVE
YEARS. AND WE JUST HAVE A STREAM
AND SIX CABINS ARE ON IT IN THE
WATER ALWAYS RUNS AND I THINK
WE'RE FINALLY GRAPPLING WITH THE
FACT. THAT THERE WON'T BE
GLACIER THERE WILL BE SNOW AT
SOME POINT FOR GRAFT FIGURE OUT
ANOTHER WAY TO HAVE WATER UP
THERE BECAUSE IT'S JUST BEEN
PLENTIFUL OVERALL TIME. SO A
DIFFICULT ISSUE AND- I
APPRECIATE THE ATTEMPT TO
ADDRESS IT BUT IT DOESN'T SORT
OF WORK OUT. THERE THE END OF
THE DEAL FOR THE ISSUES BETWEEN. THE DIFFERENT PARTIES AROUND
THE STATE. THANK YOU SAID
EARLIER I WILL TRY TO CENTER HER
. FOR MUCH OF TRIMS COUPLE OF
THOUGHT. THE WANTED TO REALLY
ADOPT ON WHAT THE- SIMILAR
TALKED ABOUT OF BEEN YOU. HOMAGE
AREA THAT I HAVE DEEP RESPECT
FOR YOUR WORK AND HAVE WORKED AT
MYSELF- BUT MY DISSERTATION IN
THIS FIELD MANY YEARS AGO SERVED
ON THE FIFTY YEAR COMMITTEE
METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT. AT
EVERY WORKING ACTUALLY CENTER
LAYERED NINE MEMBER THE ASSEMBLY
OR PARTICIPATING IN THE
SYMPOSIUM'S AFTERNOON I'M JUST
READING THE BRIEFING PAPER ON.
JEANS CONSERVATION TO FOLLOW UP
ON THE EFFORTS THAT WE ENGAGE IN
CONSERVATION AND- A NUMBER OF
THEIR EFFORTS WITH RESPECT TO
WHAT A RECYCLING AND- STORMWATER
THE LIKE. I AM I AM INFORMED
PARTICULARLY BECAUSE I'VE SPENT
SO MANY YEARS TO ANY
QUANTIFICATION SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT IN THE LINING OF THE
ALL AMERICAN CANAL AND IDEATE
AND ALL THESE OTHER BIG
PROJECTS. THAT WE IN THE LOS
ANGELES REGION HAVE- TAKING A
BIG BRUNT APPROPRIATELY ON THE
BENEFICIARY PAYS THE WHOLE ISSUE
OF THE CANAL IN THE- YOU KNOW
AND ALL THESE OTHER ISSUES THAT
WE'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE
METROPOLITAN WATER DISTRICT OF
STEPPED UP IN A GIGANTIC WAY. TO
PICK UP THE TAB UNDER
BENEFICIARY PAYS APPROACH AND SO
WHILE THIS IS THE RIGHT THING TO
DO IN THE LARGER. SENSE WE'RE
WE'RE TRYING TO HUSTLE ON. SO
MANY OTHER AREAS YOU KNOW THE
OBVIOUSLY WATER. TAKES DECK. YOU
KNOW THE WATER BUFFALOES NOTHING
HAPPENS OVERNIGHT IN THIS BILL
IN IN IN THE WATER POLICIES
SPACE. BUT WE'RE TRYING TO DEAL
WITH ALL THE OTHER ELEMENTS OF
SOME OF WHICH REFLECTED TOO SO.
FOR PURPOSES OF THE BENEFITS SHE
PAYS ELEMENT AND HOW THIS IS
FUNDED BY IDEA I CAN'T
SUPPORTERS THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
APPRECIATE YOUR- GOOD WORK ON
THIS. THEY SET HERTZBERG- I
ATTENDED SHARE- THE PINION IN MY
COLLEAGUES EXPRESSED- IN THE SAN
FERNANDO VALLEY AND FROM THE
CENTRAL COAST AND FROM STOCKTON-
YEAH THE ONE OTHER THING I WOULD
JUST NOTE AND I THINK IT WAS
BRIEFLY NOTED BUT IN TERMS OF
TIMING- THE PROJECT IS STILL AT
AN ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING
STAGE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT-
RECLAMATION HAS COMMITTED- ABOUT
A HUNDRED MILLION TO THE SITES
PROJECT TO DATE. BUT THE BILL
DOES SPECIFICALLY CALL OUT SITES
JUST TO BE CLEAR- ON THE VERY
LAST PAGE OF THE BILL. IT'S A UP
TO THE SUM OF TWO BILLION SIX
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS TO
COMPLETE FUNDING FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION THE SITES RESERVOIR
SO THAT KIND OF- SPECIFICITY AND
SINGLE PROJECT ORIENTED FUNDING
IS NOT JUST AS A CHALLENGE FOR
ME BECAUSE OF THE AUTHORS- MUCH
RESPECT FOR THEM AT THE SAME
ISSUE WITH MY COLLEAGUES FROM MY
SIDE OF THE AISLES BILL LAST
YEAR- SHOULD HAVE NARROWLY
LOOKING AT FRAN AND KERN AND YOU
KNOW ESPECIALLY IF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT WANTS TO. BE PART OF
THAT BENEFICIARY PAYS
ARRANGEMENTS- SEVEN HUNDRED
MILLION COMING FROM THEM AND
THEN FROM THE TAXPAYERS THE
ACTUAL GENERAL FUND NOT THE
BOND. BUT THE GENERAL FUND OF
CALIFORNIA TO PAY TWO POINT SIX
BILLION DOLLARS- DOESN'T SEEM
LIKE A FAIR ALLOCATION OF
OBLIGATIONS- I SO I WOULD JUST
NOTE IN TERMS OF TIMING IT DOES
FEEL A BIT PREMATURE GIVEN THAT
THE ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING
PROCESS NOT EVEN. COMPLETED YET
AS WELL AS THAT SORT OF. LINE
ITEM APPROACH BELIES THE BROADER
STRATEGY I THINK IN THE STATE WE
NEED TO UNDERTAKE- FOR THAT
REASON I WON'T BE ABLE TO
SUPPORT THE MEASURE TODAY- BUT I
DO WANT TO OFFER YOU ALL AN
OPPORTUNITY TO CLOSE. OR MAKE
ANY FINAL COMMENTS- AND YET. HI
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S- ANY ANY
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS SEEING NONE
BUT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO CLOSE.
THANK YOU A MINUTE MISTER CHAIR-
I THINK HEARING. COMMENTS FROM
YOU TODAY HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL
. AND I KNOW THAT WOULD WITH
REGULARITY- WE SEE BILLS THAT-
ARE INTRODUCED PERHAPS IN
CONCEPT FORM THAT ARE DESIGNED
TO ELICIT A CONVERSATION. AND
THAT CONVERSATION IS- ULTIMATELY
TO REFINE- PIECE OF LEGISLATION
BUT GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
AUDIENCE IN VENUE SO THAT THE
MERITS CAN BE EXPLORED IN MORE
DETAIL. THERE WERE A FEW THINGS
HERE THAT I DID WANT TO TAKE
ISSUE WITH RESPECTFULLY. IN THAT
IS HISTORICAL REVISIONISM. THIS
NOTION THAT WE NOW KNOW MORE IN
CAN ALTER FOR RE DIRECT HOW
DOLLARS ARE USED. IS NOT HOW OUR
PROPOSITION IN BALLOT INITIATIVE
SYSTEM WORKS. WE COMMITTED THERE
IS A LEGAL OBLIGATION THAT WE
USE THIS MONEY THROUGH PROP ONE
DATING BACK TO FROM TWENTY
FOURTEEN TO FILL THESE PROJECTS
SO THIS IDEA THAT CONSERVATION-
ADVANCEMENTS OR TECHNOLOGY
ADVANCEMENTS ARE GOING TO ALLOW
US TO REDIRECT THIS MONEY IS NOT
WHAT THE LAW SAYS. THIS MONEY
WILL BE USED FOR A PURPOSE THAT
WAS ARTICULATED IN THE
PROPOSITION. I THINK WHAT WE'RE
ARGUING HERE IS THAT THE WATER
COMMISSION HAS ALREADY WEIGHED
IN THAT SITE IS ON THE LIST OF
ELIGIBLE PROJECTS. AND I DON'T
WANT TO FIXATE JUST ON SITES. I
WANNA MAKE CERTAIN THAT IS VERY
CLEAR EVEN THAT IS TAKEN SOME
STAGE HERE I'M ALSO TALKING
ABOUT THE- CONVEYANCE SYSTEMS
ACROSS THE STATE. AND ANOTHER
POINT THAT WAS MADE IS THAT. IF
WE DON'T GET A BENEFIT THEN WE
SHOULDN'T PAY THE TAXES. THAT
UNDERMINES THE PILLAR OF OUR
CALIFORNIA'S SYSTEM. WHETHER
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT DIRECT
BENEFITS FROM UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA OR C. ISSUE SYSTEM OR
THE HIGH SPEED RAIL SYSTEM WE
ALL ACROSS TO THE CALIFORNIA
PAGAN TO INFRASTRUCTURE BECAUSE
WE DO BENEFIT COLLECTIVELY AND I
WOULD ARGUE WE BENEFIT
INDIVIDUALLY WOULD YOU GO SHOP
AT YOUR SUPERMARKET AND YOU HAVE
FRESH PRODUCE AVAILABLE WHICH IS
PREMIUM ON NOTED ACROSS THE
GLOBE. SO I DO BELIEVE THAT WE
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY HERE TO
CREATE A PUBLIC BENEFIT FROM
WHICH WE WILL ALL DERIVE BENEFIT
AND BUT LOST MY POINT IN CLOSING
HERE IS. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY
TO ELEVATE AN ISSUE. AND THERE
HAVE BEEN MANY OPPORTUNITIES
AFFORDED TO COLLEAGUES THROUGH
THIS COMMITTEE IN VIRTUALLY
EVERY COMMITTEE THAT WE HAVE IN
THE SENATE AND THE ASSEMBLY TO
BOOT. GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY R.
AS THE SENATOR FROM SAN DIEGO
IDENTIFIED GIVE US AN
OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE WITH THE
CHAIR. AND ALLOW THIS TO MOVE
FORWARD BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE YOUR
CONSCIENCE AND VOTE YOUR YOUR
HEAD ON THE FLOOR BUT GIVE THIS
THE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO AMEND
AS NECESSARY TO GET INTO THE
AREAS WHERE WE THINK POLITICAL
COMPROMISE CAN BE ACHIEVED. THAT
WOULD BE A COURTESY I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK OF THE CHAIR IN
ALL MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD IS I
THINK THIS MATTER IS SO URGENT.
THAT WE CANNOT CONSERVE OUR WAY
pOUT OF IT. AND IF THERE'S
LESSONS TO BE LEARNED FROM THE
COCA PANDEMIC SUPPLY CHAIN AND
LOGISTICS AND NATIONAL SECURITY
IMPLICATIONS OF FOOD PRODUCTION
AND WATER AVAILABILITY ARE ALL
THINGS THAT NEED TO BE FRONT OF
MIND RIGHT NOW. I CAN'T BE
PUSHED OFF FOR ANOTHER EIGHT
YEARS PENDING ENVIRONMENTAL
REVIEW LET'S BE REALISTIC
NOTHING SHOULD TAKE THIS LONG
BUT IT HAS AND THAT'S BECAUSE I
THINK INDIVIDUALS ORGANIZATIONS
. GARB COMMISSION BUREAUCRATS
ARE DISINCLINED FOR PROJECTS
LIKE THIS TO MOVE FORWARD BUT
WE'RE HERE TO EFFECTUATE THE
WILL OF THE VOTERS. VIA TWO
TWENTY FOURTEEN THAT WOULD BE MY
RESPECTFUL REQUEST OF THIS BOARD
ALLOW THIS ISSUE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO BE AIRED AND DISCUSSED EVEN
IF IT DOESN'T PASS THE FLOOR
VOTE. THANK YOU CENTENNIAL'S
MISTER AND I WILL THEN CLOSE.
IT'S BEEN AN INTERESTING
DISCUSSION HERE TODAY LADIES AND
GENTLEMAN. AND I THINK MY GOOD
FRIEND FROM FRESNO AND I HAVE
ACHIEVED OUR PURPOSE ALREADY. WE
ARE FORMALLY UNITED OTHER PARTS
OF THE STATE. AND WE'RE FOCUSED
ALSO KNOCKED ON JUST SUCH
RESERVE FOR BUT ON THE
CONVEYANCE SYSTEM. THE STATE
WATER PROJECT ARGUABLY DIDN'T
HELP SAY THE COAST. BUT IT
HELPED CALIFORNIA DID SAVED
CALIFORNIA. THAT WATER CAME FROM
THE AREAS OF THE MOST OF WHICH I
REPRESENT. WE WERE NOT PAROCHIAL
ABOUT IT THAT WE SUPPORT STORAGE
WHICH IS A PART. OF THE WATER
PLANT IN CALIFORNIA THAT THERE
MUST BE SURFACE STORAGE EVEN FOR
GROUNDWATER RECHARGE. IN THE
CITY'S THAT PURPOSE. AND WE HAVE
ACHIEVED OUR GOAL OF ELEVATING
THIS ISSUE IN THE MINDS OF THE
PUBLIC. AND IN THE LEGISLATURE.
THOUGH I WILL NOT BE HERE THIS
ISSUE WILL BE BACK. EVEN IF THIS
COMMITTEE CHOOSES NOT TO SUPPORT
THE LEGISLATION. BUT I WOULD
ARGUE. IN THE SPIRIT A POSITIVE
ACCOMPLISHMENT. THAT WE MOVE
AHEAD WITH THIS BILL. YEARS AGO. THAT DISTURB ME THAT UP AND
DOWN THE SACRAMENTO RIVER.
EVERYBODY WAS FIGHTING WITH EACH
OTHER. THE FEDERAL AND STATE
AGENCIES WE'RE NOT EVEN TALKING
TO EACH OTHER THEY WERE FIGHTING
WITH EACH OTHER. THAT COULD NOT
ABIDE BY THAT SO I AND ENTERED
LEGISLATION. WHICH CREATED THE
SACRAMENTO RIVER CONSERVATION
FORUM IT IS NOT AN AGENCY WITH
ALL KINDS OF AUTHORITY. AND
REGULATORY POWER. I DIDN'T WANT
TO. IT'S REALLY A MEET AND TALK
BUT A FORMAL STRUCTURE FOR THAT. PROBABLY THE SINGLE MOST
SIGNIFICANT ACCOMPLISHMENT OF
THAT FORUM IT'S STILL AROUND.
WELL AFTER THIRTY YEARS LATER.
THE G. GREATER GOOD FOR THE
CHAMPION OF ALL CHAMPIONS OF THE
SALMON. MUCH TOLD ME. SENATE
BILL TEN EIGHTY SIX THE CREATED
THE FORUM. HAS DONE MORE TO SAVE
THE SALMON RUN THAN ANYTHING WE
HAVE DONE. NOW THAT WAS SOME
YEARS AGO. BUT THAT FORM IS
STILL AROUND. AND HERE WE HAVE
ANOTHER FORM. A FORM ABOUT THE
FUTURE. THIS BILL IS ABOUT THE
FUTURE IT'S NOT ABOUT NEXT YEAR
THE NEXT ELECTION THE POLITICS
OF IT. THE ADHERENCE TO CERTAIN
INTEREST GROUPS WHO HAVE CERTAIN
BIASES. THE DAILY STEADFASTLY
HOLD. TO I DO NOT NEGOTIATE ON.
WELCOME TO MOVE AHEAD AND WORK
WITH PEOPLE OPTICALLY. I
APPRECIATE MY COLLEAGUES FROM
SAN DIEGO COMMENTS AND
OBSERVATIONS. L. A. D. THAT'S
HOW WE GET TO THE FUTURE. BUT WE
DON'T GET TO THE FUTURE BY. THE
BILL. AND JUST LET STATIONS HOLD
. BECAUSE WE WILL BE BACK. AND
IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE HEADED
TOWARDS ANOTHER GREAT DISASTER.
BECAUSE WE HAVE LITTLE CHANCE
NOW TO FILL ANY RESERVOIRS. THE
RAIN IN THE CELL JUST WILL NOT
COME. THAT WE THOUGHT WAS BAD
THIS YEAR. LIVES ARE GOING TO
CHANGE NEXT YEAR I ASSURE YOU.
AND THIS BILL OFFERS A PATHWAY
TO THE FUTURE AND A HOPE. I ASK
THIS FROM THE COMMITTEE TO
SUPPORT THE LEGISLATION THAT WE
MAY CONTINUE FORMALLY. THE
DIALOGUE AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO
HAVE A FUTURE. FOR OUR CHILDREN
THAT OUR GRANDCHILDREN THANK YOU
MR CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU- NOW AT
THE END OF PRESENTATION WE DO
NOT HAVE A MOTION BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE- I THINK I HEARD
SENATOR GROW FIRST. SO.
DEFERRING TO SENATOR HUESO-
THERE'S A THAT'S A MOTION. HAVE

BIPARTISAN BILL THAT PASSED THIS
COMMITTEE THROUGH THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS LAST YEAR
WITH NO NO VOTES THE BILL
CREATES A NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS IN
FORESTRY AND VEGETATION
MANAGEMENT. WE ALL KNOW THE
CHALLENGES- IN OUR STATE WITH
FIRE IN OUR FORESTS I WON'T GO

COLLABORATION WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY AND FIRE
PROTECTION THE CALIFORNIA
CONSERVATION CORPS THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS. CREATES A CENTER
WITH THE GOAL OF EXPANDING
WORKFORCE INVESTIGATION FORCE
MANAGEMENT. BUT IT WOULD ALSO
WORK TOWARDS REDUCING THE TOLL
OF- OF- OF PEOPLE OF COME OUT OF
OUR JAILS AND PRISONS AND BEING
ABLE TO REENTER SOCIETY SO. IT
CREATES A CAMP THAT WOULD ALLOW
THEM TO HAVE HOUSING AND BE
TRAINED AND- FORCE MANAGEMENT

OF THIS BILL SENATE BILL EIGHT
SIXTY SEVEN OR EXTEND THE SUNSET
PROVISION IN THE PLANNING FOR
SEA LEVEL RISE DATABASE. FROM
THE COMING JANUARY FIRST TO
JANUARY FIRST TWENTY TWENTY
EIGHT. THIS BILL WILL LOOK VERY
FAMILIAR TO YOU. AND THAT IS
BECAUSE THIS COMMITTEE PASSED IT
OUT LAST YEAR UNANIMOUSLY. AND
IT WAS SITTING ON THE SENATE
FLOOR AS WE CAME BACK IN JANUARY
AND I WAS WORKING TO SAVE A
HOSPITAL IN WATSONVILLE. IT'S OF
THAT BILL. TOOK THE HOSPITAL
DISTRICT IN AND WENT TO THE
GOVERNOR AND RECORD PACE IN TWO
AND A HALF WEEKS AND NOW I'M
STARTING TO SAME BUILT OVER
AGAIN. SINCE I WATCHED IT ON THE
ASSEMBLY FLOOR BECAUSE OF BAD
GUT AND AMEND- IS THE CURRENT
DATABASE INCLUDES MUCH VALUABLE
INFORMATION. AND I INTEND TO
WORK WITH ALL PARTIES. TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE DATABASE THAT WAS
CREATED FIVE YEARS AGO OR SEVEN
YEARS AGO WHEN THE WORLD WAS
DIFFERENT IT'S ADAPTED AND
CHANGED TO MATCH THE CURRENT
CIRCUMSTANCES AND WITH THAT I
WOULD ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE. AND
WITH ME TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT
AND HOPEFULLY RELATIVELY
BRIEFLY. IS CATHERINE FREEMAN ON
BEHALF OF THE STATE ASSOCIATION
OF COUNTIES. THANK YOU SO MUCH-
MISS FREEMAN. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN OF THE- I AM CAPTAIN
CRANDALL BECOME. STATUS AS OF
COUNTIES AND I WILL BE BRIEF-
THE SECOND PLEASE SUPPORT IN
PART WITH SOME EARLIER. SB EIGHT
SIXTY. THAT IT'S GOING TO EXTEND
THE TIME TO PROVIDE FOR THAT
PLANNING CRISTINA RISE DATABASE.
I DO NOT HAVE A CALIFORNIA IS A
LEADER IN ADDRESSING THE LEVEL
RISE AND SB EIGHT FIFTY SEVEN
ENSURES STAKEHOLDERS OF THE
FOREFRONT OF ADDRESSING CLIMATE
CHANGE. AND PROTECTING OUR
COASTAL COMMUNITIES CONTINUE TO
HAVE ACCESS TO THIS INVALUABLE
EDUCATIONAL POTENTIAL. THE
INFORMATION INCLUDES STUDIES
PROGRAM MODELS MAPPING ALL THE
KINDS OF THINGS THAT COASTAL OF
FOLKS NEED. TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
WHAT'S GOING ON THERE BECAUSE-
THERE'S NO ONE SIZE. FITS ALL
APPROACH FOR CALIFORNIA'S
DIVERSE COASTAL COMMUNITIES AND
TO DEFEND. THE COUNTIES HAVE
BEEN PARTNERING FOR THE LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS WITH THE COASTAL
COMMISSION AND OTHER STATE
AGENCIES WILL FIND WAYS TO PLAN
FOR. THE COMBAT SEALABLE RISE
AND INFORMATION IS THE KEY TO
THIS PROCESS. SO WHAT YOU SEE
WITH THE DATABASE- WELL IT'S IN
GENERAL THIS IS A CODE FOR A
PROJECT. EXAMPLES ARE THE COURTS
OF LOS ANGELES LONG BEACHREDWOOD CITY SAN DIEGO AND
OAKLAND HAVE BOTH OF THEIR C.
LEVEL RISE ADOPTION PLANS-
KANIGHER COUNTY SEVERAL
RESTORATION PLAN YEAH I ARE
SUPPOSED TO FOR SPECIFIC
PROJECTS. BUT REALLY PROBABLY
THE MOST USEFUL FOR COUNTY IS
THAT IT'S A ONE STOP SHOP TO
LOOK AT THE STATE DEPARTMENT AND
PROJECT. AND ARE VERY COMBAT
BONTA TONY'S THAT MAY BE
IMPACTED BY SEA LEVEL RISE. WE
DON'T ALWAYS GET TO SEE THESE
THINGS AND IT'S REALLY GOOD TO
BE ABLE TO JUST GO AND TAKE A
LOOK AT THAT. THIS IS JUST THE
START PLANNING FOR SEA LEVEL
RISE IS COMPLICATED. REGIONAL
SPORTS HAVE SUGGESTED THIS IS
NOT JUST A RISING TIDE PROVIDING
LOCAL GROUNDWATER. WOOD COUNTY
IS WORKING SECURE CRITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIRED
UNNECESSARY HOUSING COURT HE
