SENATORS CAPITO HERE CABALLERO
PRESENT NIELSEN DOESN'T. NIELSEN
PRESIDENT DORADO. HERTZBERG
PRESIDENT WIENER. YOU HAVE A
QUORUM AKORN HAS BEEN
ESTABLISHED NOW WE'D LIKE TO
HEAR FROM OUR FIRST AUTHOR
AUTHOR THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
YOUR PATIENCE WELCOME SENATOR
DODD YOU MAY PRESENT ON YOUR
BILL SB EIGHT FIFTY TWO. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH MEDICARE. GET
MEMBERS SB EIGHT FIFTY TWO WOULD
AUTHORIZE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
FORM COMMUNITY RESILIENCE
FINANCING DISTRICTS. TO ADDRESS
CLIMATE CHANGE AT THE LOCAL AND
REGIONAL LEVEL. LET ME BEGIN BY
ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENT TO SHOWN
IN THE S. B. EIGHT FIFTY TO MOCK
UP DISTRIBUTED COMMITTEE
MEMBERS. I ALSO WANTED TO THANK
THE CONSULTANT FOR HIS EFFORTS
ON THIS BILL. WE ARE ALL
FAMILIAR WITH THE EXISTENTIAL
THREATS POSED BY CLIMATE CHANGE
AND I NEED NOT DESCRIBE THE
PROBLEM YET AGAIN. FOR THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS THE STATE HAS
RESPONDED TO CLIMATE CHANGE BY
APPROPRIATING BILLIONS. TO FIND
A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS THAT SEEK
TO PREVENT AND PROTECT OUR STATE
FROM CLIMATE CHANGE DISASTER.
STATE PROGRAMS ADDRESS A BROAD
RANGE OF ISSUES ACROSS THE OLD
STATE LANDSCAPE HOWEVER THERE
ARE DIFFERENT RISKS POSED BY
CLIMATE CHANGE THAT AFFECTS A
DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES IN VERY
DIFFERENT WAYS. IN SOME
COMMUNITIES SUCH AS WHAT I
REPRESENT THE THREAT OF WILDFIRE
IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE IN
SOME COMMUNITIES THE MOST
SERIOUS THREAT FROM. RESULTS
FROM SEA LEVEL RISE IN YET
ANOTHER COMMUNITIES EXTREME HEAT
EVENTS POSE THE GREATEST DANGER
. SB EIGHT FIFTY TWO WILL
PROVIDE LOCAL COMMUNITIES WITH
ANOTHER TOOL TO PUT THEIR TOOL
KITS TO HELP COPE WITH AND
PREVENT CLIMATE RELATED
DISASTERS THAT ARE MOST CRITICAL
TO THEM. ASSEMBLY EIGHT FIFTY
TWO PERMITS CITIES COUNTIES AND
SPECIAL DISTRICTS TO WORK AS A
JOINT ENDEAVOR TO DEVELOP PLANS
TO ADDRESS THE HIGHEST LOCAL
CLIMATE CHANGE PRIORITIES AND
GENERATE REVENUE TO IMPLEMENT
THOSE PLANS. THE FINANCING
MECHANISMS EMBODIED IN THE BILL
ALREADY EXISTED LAW SUCH AS TAX
INCREMENT FINANCING AND VOTER
APPROVED PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS. I
WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE EACH ONE
OF THE REVENUE RAISING
MECHANISMS IN SB EIGHT FIFTY TWO
ARE AVAILABLE TO CITIES AND
COUNTIES ACTING INDIVIDUALLY
NOW. UNDER SB EIGHT FIFTY TWO
THOSE SAME MECHANISMS WILL ALSO
BE AVAILABLE TO LOCAL ENTITIES
WORKING TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY
RESILIENCE FINANCING DISTRICTS.
BECAUSE SOME CLIMATE CHANGE
PROBLEMS ARE BETTER ADDRESSED
WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES WORK
COLLABORATIVELY. NOTHING IN THIS
BILL MANDATES FORMATION OF A
DISTRICT AND NOTHING THIS BILL
CHANGES THE CONSTITUTIONAL
REQUIREMENTS FOR VOTER APPROVAL
AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION WERE
VOTER APPROVAL AND PARTICIPATION
ARE NOW REQUIRED. WITH ME TODAY
ARE FORMER ASSEMBLYMEMBER ROGER
DICKINSON WHO NOW SERVES AS THE
POLICY DIRECTOR OF CIVIC WELL
ADD MIKE PETERSON DEPUTY
INSURANCE COMMISSIONER FOR
CLIMATE AND SUSTAINABILITY.

THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPTIMIZE

RESOURCES TO MEET CLIMATE
CHALLENGES MOST IMPORTANT TO
THEIR COMMUNITY FOURTH GIVE

ADOPTING THE RIGHT FINANCING
APPROACH FOR THEIR NEEDS AND
THEIR COMMUNITY AND FIFTH GIVE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND REGIONS
THE FLEXIBILITY TO PLAN AND
IMPLEMENT THE HIGHEST PRIORITY
PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS IN THEIR
LOCALITY. WHILE THE STATE HAS
ENACTED PROGRAMS AND MADE
INVESTMENTS TO MEET THE
INCREASING URGENCY OF THE
CLIMATE CRISIS AND THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT HAS TAKEN RECENT
STEPS TO ALSO DO SO FAR LESS
ATTENTION HAS BEEN PAID TO
DEVELOPING A COHESIVE AND
COORDINATED APPROACH AT THE
LOCAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL. AS THE
GOVERNOR'S CLIMATE ADAPTATION
STRATEGY RELEASED EARLIER THIS
WEEK NOTED PARTNERSHIPS
COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION
IN OUR EFFORTS TO BUILD CLIMATE
RESILIENCE ARE ESSENTIAL GIVEN
THE DIVERSITY OF THREATS
CALIFORNIA FACES IN THE VAST
ARRAY OF ENTITIES THAT ARE
FOCUSED ON BUILDING OUR
RESILIENCE TO THESE THREATS. ALL
ENTITIES FROM INDIVIDUALS TO
TRIBAL LOCAL REGIONAL AND STATE

IS IT CITIES AND COUNTIES NEED
TO WORK TOGETHER AND THERE'S A
PROCESS ALREADY IN PLACE- AND
COMBAT PROCESS ALLOWS- THE
FINANCING FOR SOME OF THESE. ARE
PROJECTS THAT MAY END UP COSTING
MONEY SO DO APPRECIATE THE
AMENDMENTS THAT YOU TOOK- IS
THERE A MOTION- THERE IS A
MOTION YOU MAY CONCLUDE CENTER.

MEMBERS. SENATOR REID CASKEY S.
B. EIGHT NINE SEVEN WELCOME GOOD
MORNING MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS-
I'M PRESENTING SP EIGHT NINE
SEVEN I WANT TO START WITH
EXPLAINED THE TECHS OF THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS WHICH I AM
ACCEPTING TODAY THE TO CHEER IN
THE COMMITTEE CONSULTANT I WANT
TO THANK THEM FOR THE WORK THAT
DAY- HAVE DONE WITH MY OFFICE ON
THIS BILL- WE HEARD FROM OTHERS
IN OPPOSITION FROM THE FROM THE
BUILDING OFFICIALS IN WHICH ALL
SECTION ONE WE'RE WHEN IT COMES
TO THE LOCAL BUILDING CODES
WE'RE GONNA PUT IN LANGUAGE THAT
WILL SAY THAT THE CONSTRUCTION
OF AN ACCESSORY UNIT DWELLING
SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A GROUP OUR
OCCUPANCY CHANGE. ON THE LOCAL
BUILDING CODES THAT WILL CLARIFY
FOR THE BUILDING OFFICIALS
WHETHER THAT WILL TAKE THEM OFF
THE OPPOSITION WILL FIND OUT
THAT PRETTY SOON BUT AT LEAST
IT'S CLEAR FINE WITH REGARD TO
THE HEIGHTS THAT MEANT LOT OF
THE ATTENTION HAS BEEN ON THE
HEIGHT LIMIT APPRECIATED CHEERS-
INPUT HERE SO WHAT WE'RE GONNA
DO IS WE'LL GET ALLOW WE'RE GOOD
THE TEXAS COULD GO BACK TO
SIXTEEN FEET WHICH IS WITH WHICH
IT IS RIGHT NOW BUT WE'LL GET
ALLOW IF YOU WITHIN A HALF MILE
OF WALKING DISTANCE FROM MAJOR A
TRANSIT STOP YOU GET THE TWENTY
FIVE FOOT- LIMIT AND IF YOU HAVE
AN ATTACHED EIGHTY YOU TO YOUR
PRIMARY. RESIDENCE YOU GET THE
ATTACHED A TWENTY FIVE FOOT
HEIGHT LIMIT SO THAT WILL NARROW
THE BILL ALLOWS SOME OBVIOUSLY
SOMEBODY ELSE WILL COME IN AND
FINALLY ON THE HEALTH AND SAFETY
CODE WE PUT THAT IN THE FIRST
EIGHTY YOU BILL THAT I DID- THIS
SECTION SHALL NOT APPLY TO
BUILDING THAT'S BEEN DEEMED
SUBSTANDARD TO ARE PUTTING THE
SUB STANDARD LANGUAGE IN THERE
WHICH AGAIN NARROWS THE BILL BUT
ACTUALLY. YOU KNOW HELPS FOR
MORE OF THESE EXISTING EIGHTY
USED TO GET LEGALIZED SO THAT
THAT THAT THE PEOPLE THAT PEOPLE
FEEL THE COMFORT I MEAN AS A
STAFF REPORT POINTS. OUT AND
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET SECOND
YOU IT'S A RIGHT WE HAD A BILL
AND THOUSAND TWO AND WHAT WE
FOUND OUT IS THAT ALL THE CITIES
HAVE MADE ORDINANCES THAT MADE.
POSSIBLE OR ECONOMICALLY.
IMPOSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO BUILD
AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAD FORTY
YEARS OF BASICALLY UNPERMITTED
UNITS TO COMMAND SO THIS BILL.
BUILDS ON THE WORK THAT WE'VE
DONE IN THE LEGISLATURE OVER THE
NEXT SIX. LAST SIX YEARS AND
REALLY REMOVES BARRIERS AND IN
MY OPINION UNNECESSARY BARRIERS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE FOR. FOR
EIGHTY YOU CONSTRUCTION MUCH OF
THE BILL. MOST OF IT IS FEEDBACK
THAT I'VE GOTTEN FOR THE HOUSING
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT HAVE
GOTTEN FROM INDIVIDUALS IN OUR
COMMUNITIES OR OTHER CITIES THAT
ARE STILL FACING SOME BARRIERS
THAT SUPPRESS EIGHTY YOU.
CONSTRUCTION SO THIS IS GOOD
ALLOW HOMEOWNERS TO MAKE BETTER
USE OF THEIR PROPERTY PROVIDE
FOR ADDITIONAL AND GENERALLY.
MORE AFFORDABLE RENTAL
AVAILABILITY IN THEIR
COMMUNITIES AND PROVIDE FOR
WEALTH BUILDING AND WE TALK
ABOUT WEALTH BUILDING BUT REALLY
SOME OF THE- PEOPLE DON'T HAVE
THAT OPPORTUNITY. TO DO IT OR
THEY JUST DON'T EXIST AND
THERE'S A PROVISION THAT ALLOWS
FOR THE STATE TO GET INTO THE-
BUSINESS OF GIVING PEOPLE SOME
GRANTS BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE.
YOU KNOW A THIRD OF OUR
EXTREMELY LOW INCOME PEOPLE ARE
HOMEOWNERS WE FORGET ABOUT THAT
WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT RENTER'S
BUT WE FORGET THAT THERE ARE
HOMEOWNERS THAT ARE EXTREMELY
LOW INCOME. THAT HAVE EXTENDED
FAMILIES WERE OPPORTUNITIES TO
BUILD WEALTH- IN ADDITION- TO
DEAL WITH THE ISSUE OF AN
UNPERMITTED EIGHTY USED AS
AMENDED THE BILL WILL PROVIDE
THE LOCAL WILL PROHIBIT A LOCAL
AGENCY FROM DENYING A PERMIT-
FROM THESE UNPERMITTED EIGHTY
USE THAT WERE BUILT BEFORE TWO
THOUSAND EIGHTEEN THAT'S ANOTHER
AMENDMENT TO SAID I REALIZE IT
IS WE PASS THESE BILLS EIGHT
PEOPLE COULD ACTUALLY GO IN AND
BUILD A NON PERMIT UNIT AND COME
BACK AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS
WE'RE GOING TO PUT A STOP IN A
WHICH IS SORT OF WHAT. ALL THE
LEGACY AND PERMITTED UNITS FOR
THEIR END BY DRESSING THESE
BARRIERS OUR HOPE IS THAT WE'RE
NOT ONLY GETTING COURAGE
HOMEOWNERS TO ASSIST US IN
DEALING WITH THE HOUSING CRISIS
BUT WE'RE GOOD ALLOW HOMEOWNERS
TO CREATE MORE FINANCIALLY STATE
MORE FINANCIAL STABILITY FOR
THEMSELVES IN WITH ME I HAVE

BAY AREA COUNCIL. AND I WOULD
URGE AND I FELT. THANK YOU VERY

BRANDY GIRTON GIRTON- CALIFORNIA
BUILDING OFFICIALS AND JASON
RYAN WHO IS HERE I BELIEVE IN IN
THE ROOM FROM THE LEAGUE OF
CALIFORNIA CITIES SO WE'LL START
WITH JASON. IS THE CENTER OF
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS JASON RYAN
LEE CALIFORNIA CITIES. WE
CERTAINLY APPRECIATE AND RESPECT
THE CENTERS-YOU KNOW TENACITY
AROUND EIGHTY USE AND WE'VE SEEN
A LOT CHANGE EVERY YEAR FOR THE
PAST SIX YEARS- THERE'S NO
DENYING THAT THROUGH HIS EFFORTS
WE'VE SEEN A PROLIFERATION OF
EDUS. AND MANY OF OUR
COMMUNITIES I'M EMBRACE
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND
BECAUSE IT IS A WAY TO YOU KNOW
GET GREATER DENSITY IN YOUR
COMMUNITY AND DO IT IN A WAY
THAT THAT IS. LESS INTRUSIVE
THAN WHAT OTHERWISE MIGHT BE-
APPRECIATE THE AMENDED ON
REDUCING THE HEIGHT YOU KNOW
WITH AND MOST OF THE NEIGHBORS
BUT A TWENTY FIVE FOOT HEIGHT IS
STILL A REALLY LARGE HEIGHT
PARTICULAR AREAS THAT HAVE. YOU
KNOW A HEIGHT LIMITATION OF A
SINGLE STORY HOME- IT MAKES YOU
REALLY WONDER WHAT. ARE THESE AN
ACCESSORY TO RATE I THINK WE'RE
GETTING AWAY FROM THE NOTION OF
THESE ARE SMALLER GRANNY FLATS
YOU ACCESSORY IN ITS AND THAT IN
FACT THESE ARE REALLY TWELVE
HUNDRED SQUARE FOOT TWO STORY
HOMES. THAT ARE NOW GOING TO POP
UP IN SOMEBODY'S BACKYARD AND
WHILE THAT MIGHT BE OKAY I WAS
SOON SOME NEIGHBORS MIGHT YOU
KNOW- NOT LIKE IT SO MUCH IF
THEY BOUGHT A HOME THAT'S YOU
KNOW IN A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT HAS
A LOWER YOU KNOW HEIGHTS. AND
NOW WITH YOU KNOW YOU HAVE THESE
TWO STORIES UP STRUCTURES POP UP
SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE
SOME CONCERNS ABOUT. HOW TO
CONSIDER BUILDING CODES- YOU
KNOW SCALING THAT BACK TO WHAT
YOU MENTION I THINK IS IMPORTANT
WILL CERTAINLY WORK WITH OUR
FRIENDS OVER THE BUILDING CODE
OFFICIALS TO SEE. IF THAT MEANS
THEY'RE THEY'RE THE REQUIREMENTS
AND FINALLY THE LAST CONCERN
THAT REALLY REMAINS- IS ALLOWING
A TWO EIGHTY USED TO BE
CONSTRUCTED ON A PARCEL FREE
PROPOSED MULTI FAMILY
DEVELOPMENT. THERE'S NO
REQUIREMENT THAT THAT MULTI
FAMILY DEVELOPMENT EVER BE
DEVELOPED SO YOU GET TO EXCESS
THREE DEAL DWELLING UNITS
ACCESSORY TO NOTHING BECAUSE THE
PRIMARY UNIT MAY HAVE NEVER BEEN
CONSTRUCTED. SO AGAIN WE'RE JUST
FEARFUL THAT IS GETTING US DOWN
A ROAD WHERE THESE ARE NO LONGER
ACCESSORY INTO THESE ARE FACTS
STANDALONE UNIT SO WE WOULD
CONTINUE WORKING YOU MISTER.

BACK TO THE COMMITTEE CENTER WE
NORTH- THANK YOU FOR SO I WENT-
WE HEARD THIS A COUPLE WEEKS
LAST WEEK I GUESS AND- TIME
FLIES. AND A HOUSING COMMITTEE
AND I WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR.
FOR HIS LONGSTANDING LEADERSHIP
AROUND EIGHTY USE- GOING BACK
BEFORE I WAS IN THE SENATE WELL
I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS. ON THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND ON THE
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION WE WERE CONSIDERING
EARLY- LEGISLATION TWENTY
FIFTEEN OR SIXTEEN OF THE BY
CENTER BY CAL SKI- TO MAKE
CALIFORNIA'S EIGHTY YOU LAWS
MEANINGFUL- AND THERE WAS A
COMPLETE AND UTTER MELTDOWN BY
LITTLE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BECAUSE
CENTER BY CAL SKI WAS- CLOSING
LOOPHOLES THAT CITIES. LIKE MY
OWN HAD EXPLOITED FOR DECADES TO
PREVENT PEOPLE FROM BUILDING A
TO USE COMPLETE MELTDOWN- AND
THAT LAW THAT BILL PASSED. ON
SKY DID NOT FALL- AND THEN- OVER
TIME WE'VE HAD DO MORE MORE
LEGISLATION. TO CLOSE THE
LOOPHOLES THAT SOME CITIES NOT
ALL BUT SOME HAVE BEEN
EXPLOITING TO MAKE IT HARDER
IMPOSSIBLE FOR PEOPLE TO PUT
EIGHTY USE- IN THEIR IN THEIR
HOMES AND I APPRECIATE THAT THE
AUTHOR- WHO IS. SADLY TERMING
OUT THE END OF THIS YEAR AND
WE'RE GOING TO MISS HIM DEARLY
FOR MANY REASONS- BUT IS YOU
KNOW- TRYING TO- TAKE SOME OF
THE REMAINING ISSUES AND ADDRESS
THEM- SO THAT WE'RE NOT. PUTTING
CONDITIONS AND LIMITS ON EIGHTY
USE THAT MAKE IT HARD OR
IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD THEM- YOU
KNOW. IT'S DISAPPOINTING TO ME
THAT WE CONTINUE TO HEAR FROM
SOME OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
GROUPS- JUST UP IS JUST.
OPPOSITION IT CLAIMING WE LOVE A
TO USE WE LOVE EIGHTY YEARS
DON'T MAKE US BUILD. YOU KNOW
TALLER APARTMENT BUILDINGS WE
CAN TEST TO WITH THE TO USE
TRYING TO RELY ON YOU TO USE
EVEN IN THEIR HOUSING ELEMENT
SOMETIMES IN INAPPROPRIATE WAYS.
BUT THEN CONTINUING TO COME
FORWARD AND OF AN OPPOSING
EFFORTS. TO TRY TO MAKE THE EDU
PROGRAM- AS ROBUST AS POSSIBLE-
AND THE IDEA THAT THERE WOULD BE
A CONCERN THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE AN
EIGHTY YOU WITHOUT A PRIMARY
HOME I DON'T. I DON'T THINK IT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN BUT IF IT DOES
WHO CARES. IT'S STILL A HOUSING. UNIT THAT SOMEONE CAN LIVE IN-
AND TO COMPARE THIS TO THE- TO
THE- THE WAREHOUSE FIRE TO GO TO
THE GROCERY BUYER IN OAKLAND.
I'M SORRY BUT THAT IS MORE THAN
A LITTLE BIT DRAMATIC. TALK
ABOUT EDIE YOU HEAR ABOUT ABOUT
A MASSIVE. DANGEROUS WAREHOUSE-
THAT WAS BUILT MANY MANY MANY
YEARS AGO. SO I YOU KNOW I THINK
IN THE END WE HEAR A LOT OF THIS
CONSTANT LIKE NIT PICKING
EXCUSES FOR WHY WE CAN'T DO
THIS- AND GOD FORBID YOU HAVE A
TWO STORY EIGHTY YOU. GOT FOR
BEDS AND I THANK THE CHAIR THE
CHAIR FOR HAVING HAD SOME
CONCERN BUT WORKING WITH THE
AUTHOR TO COME TO A GOOD
COMPROMISE ON THIS BILL AROUND.
THE HEIGHT ISSUE- AND I THINK
IT'S A GOOD COMBINATION YOU KNOW
IN THE END I WISH SOME OF THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT GROUPS WOULD BE
MORE FOCUSED ON THE FACT THAT WE
HAVE PEOPLE LIVING IN THEIR CARS
THAT WE HAVE TEN PEOPLE FIFTEEN
PEOPLE LIVING IN ONE APARTMENT.
TOGETHER IN MANY PARTS OF
CALIFORNIA OVERCROWDING BECAUSE
THEY CANNOT AFFORD. TO HAVE TO
HOUSING FOR. YOU KNOW FOR TWO OR
THREE OR FOUR PEOPLE. I WHICH
WOULD FOCUS ON THAT. BUT THAT'S
A RESPONSIBILITY OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS. TO MAKE SURE THAT
PEOPLE HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE. AS
OPPOSED TO. WE DON'T WANT A FEW
EXTRA FEET OF HIGH WE DON'T WANT
TO STORY EIGHTY USE YOU MIGHT
HAVE BEEN A TO YOU WITHOUT A-
SINGLE FAMILY HOME- YOU KNOW-
IT'S JUST VERY VERY FRUSTRATING
TO ME- I THINK THIS IS A REALLY
GOOD BILL AND HAPPY TO MOVE A-
MANAGER THE THANK YOU VERY MUCH
AND YOU MAY WANT TO ADOPT THAT
IS YOUR CLOSING SENATOR.
HERTZBERG ON A MAKE MINE SHORT.
TWO THINGS I JUST WANTED FOR THE
RECORD TO SAY THAT IN THE LOS
ANGELES. YEP OF FIRST THING I
WANT TO GIVE CREDIT TO DENNIS
CARDOZA WHO IT IS THESE WERE
CALLED GRANNY FLATS WHEN HE DID
IT BACK IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY
NEVER PASSED THOSE YOU NEVER
FORGET THE PEOPLE THAT CAME
BEFORE TO- THE SEVERAL VALLEYS
AND WILDLY SUCCESSFUL. IN TERMS
OF PROVIDING HOUSING MORE THAN
SIXTY OR 70% OF ALL THE EIGHTY
USED IN THE LA THAT EVENTUALLY
BEEN APPROVED AND BUILT OUR FROM
THE SERVER NO VALLEY AND THREE
CAN YOU ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF THE
HEIGHT RESTRICTION THE MEMBERS
THAT YOU TOOK. WITH THE YEARS WE
CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. YEAH SO
WELL I'M I'M SURE IT'S. SO WE'RE
GOING TO. STRIKE THE TWENTY FIVE
FEET THAT'S IN THERE. AND GO
BACK TO SIXTEEN STATEWIDE EXCEPT
IF YOU'RE- IT WITHIN HALF MILE
OF A MAJOR TRANSIT STOPS IF YOU
GOT FIXED RAIL. IF YOU'VE GOT
MAJOR BUS STOPS THEN YOU GET STE
WE ARE IN A HALF MILE YOU GET TO
GO UP TO TWENTY FIVE FEET. THE
SECOND IS THAT IF YOU HAVE AN
EIGHTY YOU THAT'S ATTACHED TO
YOUR HOUSE SO. YOU KNOW LIKE
PEOPLE HAVE SECOND STORIES ON
THEIR ON THEIR HOUSE IF IT'S
ATTACHED. THEN YOU GET TO YOU
GET TO GO TO A- TWENTY FIVE FEET
OR WHATEVER LOCAL ORDINANCES
WE'RE NOT TRYING TO. THE LOCAL
ORDINANCES TWENTY THREE TEN WHEN
I. GOING OVER BUT MOST OF THESE
ORDINANCE FOR THEIR- AND THAT'S END SO EVERYTHING ELSE
WILL. THE EXISTING WILL REMAIN
THE SAME. ANY MORE COMMENTS
SENATOR EYES OF- YES I AM I'VE
ALWAYS BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF EIGHTY
USE I THINK IT'S A GREAT WAY OF
ADDRESSING ONE PORTION OF
HOUSING I'M I'M I HAVE TO CATCH
UP AND TALK TO FOLKS AND- IN MY
DISTRICT AND I HAVE THIS MIXED
OF FEELING OF NOT ON YOUR BILL
BUT JUST ON THE IMPACTS OF
EIGHTY USE WE HAVE THOSE WHO
HAVE COME FROM THE OUTSIDE YOU
KNOW. A BIG BUSINESSES THAT COME
IN AND BUY THE PROPERTY AND YOU
KNOW THEY'LL ATTACH AND- OR A
BUILDING EIGHTY YOU NOT ALWAYS
TO THE PART TO WHERE IT SHOULD
BE- AND YOU KNOW BRING IN A LOT
OF LOW INCOME PEOPLE TOOK TO
RENT THEM. AND THEN YOU HAVE.
THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE DISTRICT
IN THE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALSO
LOING TERM THEY REALLY BUILD
THEM HOWEVER THEY CAN PATCH IT
TOGETHER AND IT BECOMES THAT. SO
I GUESS I'M IM NOT QUITE SURE
HOW THIS ALL FITS IN WITH YOUR
BILLS RIGHT AND I'M I INTEND TO
GO BACK AND HAVE THOSE
CONVERSATIONS BUT- I JUST
WONDERING YOUR THOUGHTS ON. THAT
KIND OF IT AND IT'S LED TO
ENORMOUS OVERCROWDING- IN
CERTAIN PARTS SO JUST YOUR
THOUGHTS ON HOW THIS COULD FIT
IN AND HELP SO THERE'S A
PROVISION IN THE BILL THAT WILL
ALLOW THE HOUSING COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE THERE'S NO WE DON'T
MAKE ANY APPROPRIATION HERE. BUT
WE ALLOW PART OF THAT OF THE
CALL THE HOUSING BUNDLE THAT WE
HAVE THAT THAT EIGHTY USE WOULD
BE ALLOWED SO THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT THEY HAVE TO WORK OUT IF
THEY DECIDE THAT THEY WANT TO
GIVE. GRANTS THE PEOPLE I MEAN I
THINK WE GENERALLY. PUT PEOPLE
IN A. B. C. D. GROUP YOU KNOW A
BEING I GOT CASH I GOT EQUITY I
GOT NO PROBLEM GET MY FINANCING.
B. IS EITHER HAVE A LOT OF
EQUITY I HAVE A LOT OF CASH SO I
CAN DO IT IT'S THE CND WERE
PEOPLE. ACTUALLY NEED THE-
STABILITY OF ADDITIONAL INCOME
OR VICKY SAID THEY HAVE MORE
PEOPLE LIVING ON THE PROPERTY
THAT AREN'T THEY DON'T. THEY
DON'T QUALIFY FOR THE FINANCING
YOU KNOW A LOT OF TIMES THE
BANKS WILL NOT GIVE YOU YOUR
EXPECTED- THREE FIVE REVENUE TO
YOU'RE GOING TO GET FROM FROM-
THE RED DAY WE SAY WE'VE GOT TO
BUILD IT BEFORE YOU CAN. WILL
GET THE RENT SO THAT THIS JUICE
. ASKED THE- HOUSING COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO COME
UP WITH SOME IDEAS AND ALLOWS
FOR THE FUNDING FOR THE EIGHTY
YEARS IS NOT PROHIBITED NOW BUT
WE JUST. PUT IT IN THERE TO TACK
IT THAT THAT WILL GO IN SO.
THAT'S IN OUR- I WISH I WAS HERE
FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS TO TACKLE
THAT. THAT PROBLEM BUT WE ARE
TRYING TO GET RID OF THOSE
THINGS BUT I THINK THAT'S WHERE
WE'RE GOING BECAUSE- IT IS THESE
HAVE BEEN BUILT IN. THE SAN
FERNANDO VALLEY ARE OPEN TO HIM
A COUNTY OR IN DOWNTOWN LA
PEOPLE SEE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE
AND PEOPLE. REALIZE HOW THEY'VE
HE PROVIDED THAT CAN COME A
PROVIDED. THAT THE KIDS COMING.
COMING BACK- SEVEN. HIS WILL
MORE QUESTION. ON THE- ON THE M.
AMNESTY PARDON THAT THAT'S IF
YOU APPLY. TO BUILD UP OR
REBUILD IT WHAT WHAT IS THE
AMNESTY PEACE COME IN AS AN AND
IF AND IF YOU'RE BELOW THE YOU
KNOW THE PART WHERE YOU SHOULD
BE. ARE YOU. YOU KNOW HOW ARE
YOU TREATING YOURSELF IN BUT
WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO AN
EXCHANGE AND THAT'S- THAT'S HAS
BEEN A CHALLENGE SO WE KNOW
THAT. THERE WERE. TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF EIGHTY USE BUILT
FROM THE SEVENTIES TILL TWENTY
SEVENTEEN THAT NEVER GOT THE
PERMIT BECAUSE THEY WENT INTO
THE STATE THEY WILL WENT INTO
THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT WERE
TOLD THEY COULDN'T GET IT AND
PEOPLE DECIDED FOR WHATEVER
REASON THAT THEY WOULD BUILD IT.
THAT WAS NOT SUBSTANDARD HOUSING
WE DON'T KNOW BECAUSE WE DIDN'T
HAVE A PERMIT BUT MOST OF IT WAS
BUILT FOR THE CODE AT THE TIME
SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE SAID
WE NEEDED A PATHWAY FOR PEOPLE
TO COME IN AS YOU SAID THAT THEY
DON'T WANT TO. HAVE THREE SHUT
DOWN SO WE'VE LANDED ON OR WE
LANDED IN TWENTY SIXTEEN ON
HEALTH AND SAFETY WHOSE LONG
ISSUE REACHED THE HEALTH AND
SAFETY THAT IT IN WHICH IS WHAT
HAPPENS NOW IF YOU BUILDING
INSPECTOR GOES INTO A RENTAL
UNIT BECAUSE- THE CITY OR
JURISDICTION. NORMALLY WHAT THEY
DO IS THEY LOOK AROUND OUT OF
WALLS PEELING DOWN THEY TAKE THE
THEIR GADGET AND PUT IT IN ONE
OF THE PLUGS TO SEE IF THE
ELECTRICITY IS GROUNDED IF IT'S
NOT GROUNDEDTHE SAY YOU GOT A
GROUNDOUT RIGHT SO THEY THEY DO
THAT BUT THEY DON'T. COME IN AND
RIP UP THE- THE WHOLE HOUSE
BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT. IN
NINETEEN EIGHTY TWO AND IT'S
FORTY HER IS ALSO AT NINETEEN
EIGHTY TWO IT WAS IS THAT WE SO.
THAT'S THE PATHWAY AND WE'RE
HAVING WE'RE HAVING SOME SUCCESS
BECAUSE SOME. WE WANT THOSE. TO
BE LEGALIZED LEVINE PEOPLE ARE
LIVING IN THEM FOR WHATEVER
REASON SO WE DON'T. AND IN MY
YOU KNOW I DISAGREE WITH SOME OF
THE- ANALYSIS I THINK THAT ONCE
YOU LEGALIZE. THEN MAYBE YOU'LL
IMPROVE IT BECAUSE YOU CAN NOW.
ADVERTISES A LEGAL UNIT INSTEAD
OF HUSH HUSH HUSH. AND MAYBE YOU
CAN TAKE DOWN THE GARAGE DOOR
AND PUT IN A WINDOW AND A REAL
TO OUR RIGHT. AS LONG AS YOU'RE
AS LONG AS YOU PASS IT TOO SO
THERE'S FRICTION THERE'S NO
DOUBT THAT THAT WHAT COMES FIRST
WE LET THE PEOPLE. GET LEGAL-
AND THAT YOU KNOW WE HAVE SO
MUCH PRESSURE ON THE CITY'S AND
WE KNOW THERE'S SO MANY OF THESE
UNITS DOWN. THE THINKING IS
THAT. LEGALIZE THEM AND HAVE LET
THE CITY. ACCOUNT FOR THEM WITH
THE READING NUMBERS TO REACH THE
REGIONAL NUMBERS THAT THEY CAN'T
AND THEN WORK WITH THE
HOMEOWNERS TO. TO BRING UP THE
CALL THE LISTEN JUST LIKE YOU
WANT. NO I LIVE IN A SIXTY YEAR
OLD HOUSE A LOT OF MY NEIGHBORS
HAVE THE ORIGINAL WINDOWS. I'D
LIKE FOR THEM TO. IMPROVE WE ALL
WANT THAT SO THAT'S THE THEORY.

QUESTIONS WE DO HAVE A PROMOTION

CONCERN IS THE- THE ROLE OF

MORNING MISS MADAM CHAIR AND

TEN SEVENTY THREE WHICHIS A
REINTRODUCTION OF LAST YEAR'S SB
SIX FIFTY EIGHT WHICH PASSED OUT
OF THIS COMMITTEE FIVE ZERO.
THIS YEAR'S BILL IS ONCE AGAIN
SPONSORED BY SAMPOERNA DINO-
ASSESSOR RECORDER COUNTY CLERK
BOB DUTTON THE MEASURE
AUTHORIZED THE COUNTY ASSESSORS-
TOUGH OFFER A PARTIAL PROPERTY
TAX DEDUCTION FOR DISABLED
VETERANS PROPORTIONATE TO THEIR
PERCENTAGE OF DISABILITY RATING
. THAT'S PROVIDED BY THE U. S.
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
FOR THE MILITARY SERVICE IN
WHICH THE VETERAN WAS DISCHARGED
OTHER STATES OFFER PROPERTY TAX
CREDITS IN VARYING DEGREES. AND
MANY OTHER MANY ALLOW VETERANS
TO QUALIFY WOULD DISABILITY
RATINGS LESS THAN 1100%
INCLUDING FLORIDA ILLINOIS AND
TEXAS. CURRENTLY DISABLED
VETERANS- MAY REQUEST A
REDUCTION ON THE THEIR HOMES
ASSESSED VALUE FOR THE PURPOSES
OF DIFFERENT TERMINATE PROPERTY
TAX IF THEY'RE 1100% DISABLED
BLIND IN BOTH EYES OR HAVE LOST.
TO WERE MORE LIMBS. IF TO SEIZE
THE VETERANS SURVIVING SPOUSE
MAY ALSO QUALIFY. HOWEVER
WITHOUT THIS BILL A VETERAN WITH
A LIFE CHANGING 50% DISABLED
GRADING WOULD CONTINUE TO BE AN
ELIGIBLE FOR THE PROPERTY TAX
DEDUCTION ON THEIR DISABILITY
RATING. ALONE NEW DATA PROVIDED
BY THE U. S. DEPARTMENT OF
VETERANS AFFAIRS SHOWS THAT
CALIFORNIA HAS GAINED AN
ADDITIONAL TEN THOUSAND DISABLED
VETERANS. AND LESS WITH LESS
THAN 1100% DISABLED RATING SINCE
JUST AST YEAR THIS BRINGS THE
TOTAL NUMBER OF DISABLED
VETERANS TO MORE THAN THREE
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX
THOUSAND. WHO ARE INELIGIBLE FOR
OUR CURRENT STATE PROPERTY TAX
EXEMPTION. THE CALIFORNIA SENATE
HOUSING COMMITTEE REPORT FOR
TWENTY TWENTY IDENTIFIED
CALIFORNIA'S HAVING THE LARGEST
NUMBER OF VETERANS EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS. ALMOST ELEVEN
THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED IN ITS
ASSESSMENT IN THE COMMITTEE SHOW
THAT THE HOMELESS VETERANS IN
CALIFORNIA REPRESENTED 31% OF
THE NATIONAL HOMELESS VETERAN
POPULATION. ADDITIONALLY
CALIFORNIA HAD THE HIGHEST RATE
OF AND SHELTERED VETERANS ALMOST
EIGHT THOUSAND IN THAT SAME YEAR
EXPERIENCED A THREE POINT 8%
OVERALL INCREASE IN VETERAN
HOMELESSNESS. SB TEN SEVENTY
THREE COULD BE THAT SAVING GRACE
FOR THAT VETERAN HELPING THEM TO
KEEP THEIR HOME AND GET THEM
THROUGH THE HARDSHIP UNTIL THEY
CAN GET BACK ON THEIR FEET.
THOUGH THOUGH THERE S NO AMOUNT
OF FINANCIAL BENEFIT THAT CAN
EQUAL THE AMOUNT OF LOSS THAT
VETERANS HEAD MAY FACE THIS BILL
EXPANDS ON THE ALREADY EXISTING
PROGRAM AIMED TO ASSIST.
CALIFORNIA'S DISABLED VETERANS
PROVIDING MUCH NEEDED RELIEF TO
STRUGGLING VETERANS AND THEIR
FAMILIES. ON THE PHONE WITH ME
TODAY IS FORMER STATE SENATOR
BOB DENTON. WHO IS IT ASSESSOR
RECORDER COUNTY CLERK FOR
SAMPOERNA DINO COUNTY. IN THIS
BILL SPONSORED AND AS WELL AS
SETH READ REPRESENTING
CALIFORNIA VETERANS READ
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS THANK YOU.
VERY GOOD WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON
TO FORMER SENATOR BOB DENTON
WELCOME. WELL THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE- I AM THE AS A COUNTY
ASSESSOR PERCENT MEDINA COUNTY
WOULD GIVE ME GREAT PLEASURE TO
SPONSOR SENATE BILL TEN SEVENTY
THREE. LEGISLATION THAT WAS
INTRODUCED BY SENATOR GROW. THAT
AMEND SECTION TWO OH FIVE POINT
FIVE IS REVENUE AND TAXATION
CODE. THE BILL TEN SEVENTY THREE
WOULD EXPAND ELIGIBILITY OF THE
DISABLED VETERANS EXEMPTION BY
ALLOWING THE COUNTY ASSESSOR. TO
APPLY A PARTIAL THIS IS
DISABILITY. VETERANS EXEMPTION
EQUAL TO THE PERCENTAGE OF THE
DISABILITY THE VETERAN IS RATED
. CURRENTLY THE DISABLED
VETERANS EXEMPTION IS AVAILABLE
ONLY- IF THE VETERAN IS 1100%
DISABLED. BE TOTALLY DISABLED
THAT MEANS THE VA. WILK THE VA
THEY DID OR THE MILITARY TO
DISCHARGE THE VETERAN WITH A
DISABILITY RATING OF A 100% DUE
TO AN INJURY HE SUSTAINED WAY
SERVING OUR COUNTRY. OVER TWENTY
FOUR THOUSAND VETERANS RESIDE
SAMBAR DINO COUNTY WITH A
SERVICE CONNECTED DISABILITY
READING OF THOSE FOUR THOUSAND
VETERANS HAVE A ONE SO 1100%
DISABILITY RATING. THIS MEANS
THAT DISABLED VETERANS EXEMPTION
ONLY APPLIES 216% OF DISABLED
VETERANS OF SAMBAR DINO COUNTY.
YOU HAVE A VETERAN AS-
DISABILITY READING OF NINETY
PERCENT. CURRENT LAW DOES NOT
ALLOW THEM TO QUALIFY FOR THIS
EXEMPTION TOO OFTEN COUNTY SAYS
USER FOUR STRAIGHT AWAY.
DISABLED VETERANS SEEKING THIS
EXEMPTION SB TEN SEVENTY THREE
SEEKS TO HELP OUR DISABLED
VETERANS THE BILL WE ESTIMATED
THE STATE PROPERTY TAX REVENUE
WOULD BE REDUCED BY A HUNDRED
NINETY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS
ANNUALLY. THE STATE ALREADY
COLLECTS MORE THAN SIXTY BILLION
IN PROPERTY TAXES THE HUNDRED
NINETY FOUR IF THAT WAS THE CASE
WITH ONLY A QUICK TWO POINT 3%
OF TOTAL PROPERTY TAX REVENUE
COLLECTED AMONG THE FIFTY EIGHT
COUNTIES OF THE STATE. IN THE
LAST DECADE KENNY ASSESSOR
ASSESSMENT TAX ROLLS HAVE GROWN
ON AVERAGE OF 5% PER YEAR. SO
IT'S NOT REALLY A LOSS YES YOU
WE YOU KNOW ABOUT THE POINT
THREE PERCENT- LIST PROPERTY TO
EXPOSE ALSO KEEP IN MIND TO NOT
ALL VETERANS. OWN HOMES. AND
THAT THE NUMBER WAS BASED. ON
LIKE A 100% FIGURE- WOULD SEEM
THAT WOULD BE. NOW WITH THE
SEVENTEEN BILLION DOLLARS IN
SURPLUS THAT THE STATE CURRENTLY
IT HAS IT. IS THE LEAST WE CAN
DO TO KIND OF HELP ADD AN
ADDITIONAL BENEFIT. ONE OF THE
THINGS THE KELLY SAYS TO THE
REALLY- AND BOTHERS ME IS THAT
WILL HAVE THAT FRIENDS OF PLY
FOR THESE EXEMPTIONS AND THEN WE
HAVE THE YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM
THAT WELL BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT
RATED A 100% THAT WE CAN'T DO
ANYTHING FOR YOU AND THAT REALLY
IS BECAUSE IT REALLY BOTHERS ME
. I WOULD LIKE THANK SENATOR-
SHOWING GROVER FOR HER
LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE- I
THINK IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE
SERVE PROVIDE SUPPORT AND
RESOURCES TO OUR NATION'S AND
DISABLED VETERANS. THEY'VE MADE
A GREAT SACRIFICE WAY SERVING

SIX TO MAKE CALIFORNIA MORE
AFFORDABLE AND LIVABLE FOR THE
MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVED OUR
GREAT NATION AND SACRIFICE SO
VERY MUCH VETERANS LIKE ALL

THE HIGH COST OF HOUSING.
ACCORDING TO THE U. S.
DEPARTMENT HOUSING AND URBAN
DEVELOPMENT OVER ELEVEN THOUSAND

HOMELESSNESS IN CALIFORNIA WITH
MANY VETERANS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE. LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME
AND MEDIAN PRICED HOMES OF
COURSE AS YOU ALL KNOW IS
SUCCEEDING IN SOME AREAS. AT
EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND WAY OUT
OF THE MARKET FOR SOME OF OUR
VETERANS CALIFORNIA MUST DO MORE
TO ENSURE VETERANS CAN AFFORD TO
LIVE IN OUR GREAT STATE WHILE
STRIVING TO END THE VETERANS
HOMELESSNESS THAT WE- SEE
EVERYWHERE WE GO IT SEEMS LIKE.
THE HARDEST HIT IN THE DREAM OF
HOME PURCHASING AN HONOR
OWNERSHIP SEEMS TO HAVE HIT THE
VETERANS ESPECIALLY ARE 100%
DISABLED VETERANS. ANY BILL
THIRTY FIFTY SO WHIPPER. AN
ADDITIONAL HELPING HAND TO THOSE
HOMEOWNERS WHO HAVE A 100%
DISABILITY AND HAVE THAT RATING
WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF

ARE SEVERAL STATES THAT. THAT
HAVE ALREADY PARTICIPATED THEY
WAY THE PROPERTY TAX 4100%

BILL BY SENATOR WELCOME- SENATOR
NELSON IF I MADE A MADAM CHAIR I
WOULD REQUEST PERMISSION TO
PRESENT THIS FOR CENTER WILK AT
HIS REQUEST ABSOLUTELY SENATOR
AND IF I'M ABLE JUST PRESENT
FROM RIGHT HERE CAN PRESENT FROM
THE FROM THE DICE IF YOU LIKE
THIS IS A CENTER WORKS BILL IS
S. B. THIRTEEN FIFTY THREE AS-
PRESENTED BY SENATOR NIELSEN MAY
PROCEED WITH THIS MEASURE IS I
THINK KIND OF CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT TO THE FUTURE OF
CALIFORNIA DEALING. WITH THE
HOMELESS. PROBABLES TRAVAIL IN
CRISIS IT REQUIRES ADDITIONAL
REPORTING BY THE STATE AND
LOCALITIES ON HOMELESS PROGRAM
EXPENDITURES AND OUTCOMES. I
WOULD ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE
SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS AND THANK
THE CHAIR AND COMMITTEE STAFF
FOR WORKING WITH SENATOR WILK
AND HIS STAFF ON THESE MEASURES
SO WE WILL ACCEPT THE AMENDMENTS
AS AMENDED THIS BILL WOULD
REQUIRE OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
REPORT TO THE CALIFORNIA
INTERAGENCY COUNCIL. SPECIFIED
INFORMATION ON THIS HOMELESS
POPULATION AS WELL AS THE
EXPENDITURES ON HOMELESS
PROGRAMS FOR THEIR JURISDICTIONS
BUT JANUARY FIRST. TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE. THE COUNCIL WILL BE
CHARGED TO COLLECT THE
INFORMATION CONDUCT AN
ASSESSMENT AND REPORT TO THE
LEGISLATURE IMPOSED ON LINE BUT
JANUARY FIRST. TWENTY TWENTY
SIX. THERE'S BEEN PROGRESS FOR
SURE OVER THE YEARS WITH OUR
HOMELESS. POPULATION. BUT I TEND
TO CHARACTERIZE AND I'VE HAD A
LOT OF EXPERIENCE WITH THIS
ISSUE AS ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES TO
ENSURE HAVE. BUT I CHARACTERIZE
HOW THIS HAS DEALT WITH THE
HOMELESS POPULATION. AS
EXEMPLIFIED BY THE- ABSTRACT
ARTIST. WHO COMES INTO A WHITE
PAINTED ROOM WITH THE BUCKET.
LET'S JUST START WITH THE BRUSH
SPLASHING. THE PAINT ON THE WALL. NOW I AM VERY INVOLVED IN THE
ART COMMUNITY AND ALWAYS HAVE
THE- THEN THAT IS IN THE DARK.
BUT IN TERMS OF THE STATE. WHAT
THAT REPRESENTS IS ALL WE'RE
DOING IS THROWING MONEY AT THAT
THANKS. THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO
BRING SOME ACCOUNTABILITY AND
FOCUS ON NOT JUST. THROWING
MONEY AT IT BUT ENSURING. THAT
THERE ARE RESULTS FOR THE MONEY
EXPENDED. SURELY THIS PARTICULAR
PROBLEM IS NOT APPLICABLE JUST
TO THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AND
POPULATION. THAT APPLIES TO MOST
EVERYTHING WE DO AND GOVERNMENT
. BUT THIS IS A LEGITIMATE
ATTEMPT TO BRING SOME SETS.
SENSE AND PURPOSE TO DEALING
WITH THE HOMELESS. THERE'S BEEN
A RECENTLY LAUNCHED HOMELESS
DATA INTEGRATION SYSTEM. THE
WEBSITE IN PLACE NOW IS A STEP
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. BUT
INFORMATION IS STILL LACKING. AS
IF POPULATION INFORMATION AS
PRESENTED IS LIMITED. THE BILL
AS A STEP FURTHER INTO THE
DIRECTION WHICH OTHER STATES
HAVE ALREADY TAKEN INCLUDING
WASHINGTON WHICH TRACKS ALL
FUNDING AND EXPENDITURE FOR
EVERY HOMELESS PROJECT. IN THE
STATE FROM EVERY FUNDING SOURCE
TO IDENTIFY SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS
ON WHICH IT COULD EXPAND AND
FOCUS ON GREATER EFFORT. EXPEND
FINANCIAL RESOURCES FOR SUCH
PURPOSES. THIS BILL WAS INSPIRED
BY THE FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS OF TWO STATE
AUDITS LAST YEAR. ONE WAS IN
TWENTY TWENTY SIX. ONE WAS IN
TWENTY TWENTY. IT IS IMPORTANT
TO GET A HANDLE ON WHAT WE'RE
DOING. IT HAS DISTURBED ME AS
I'VE WATCHED COMMUNITIES THAT I
REPRESENT. STRUGGLE WITH
HOMELESSNESS. BUT IT'S ALSO BEEN
CLEARLY EVIDENT THAT THERE'S NOT
BEEN MUCH WITH THIS ISSUE. OF
COORDINATION. AND BENEFITING
FROM POSITIVE EXPERIENCES OF ANY
PARTICULAR COMMUNITY. AND THIS
IS A BILL I THINK THAT BRINGS
ACCOUNTABILITY BY PROVIDING
INFORMATION THAN MEASURES. THE
SUCCESS OR FAILURE. MADAM CHAIR
IF I MAY I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF
WITNESSES TO TESTIFY. WE HAVE
CHRIS. PATELLA INVENTS CABLE NOW
THESE ARE SENIOR AUDITORS IN THE
STATE AUDITOR'S OFFICE THEY ARE
PRESENTING HERE JUST FOR
INFORMATION'S SAKE THEN MAYBE IN
RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS THEY ARE
NOT FORMALLY TAKING ANY POSITION
. THE AGENCY DOES NOT DO THAT
BUT WE DO HAVE THEM AVAILABLE.
OF THOSE GENTLEMAN HERE. THERE
WE GO THANK YOU SIR PLEASE
IDENTIFY YOURSELF FOR THE CHAIR
. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS VANCE CABLE AND I'M A SENIOR
AUDITOR WITH THE CALIFORNIA
STATE AUDITOR'S OFFICE. AS
SENATOR NIELSEN INDICATED THE
STATE AUDITOR DOES NOT TAKE A
POSITION AGAINST OR FOR PROPOSED
LEGISLATION HOWEVER THAT BEING
SAID SENATE BILL THIRTEEN FIFTY
THREE WHAT ADDRESS CONCERNS THAT
WE IDENTIFIED IN AN AUDIT REPORT
THAT WE ISSUED OUT HOMELESSNESS-
IN FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR. THOSE
CONCERNS SPECIFICALLY WERE THAT
THE STATE DID NOT HAVE A
COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF
HOW IT SPEND STATE FUNDS TO
ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS. AND AT THE
STATE'S EFFORTS TO COLLECT
COMPREHENSIVE DATA AS PART OF
THE HOMELESS DATA INTEGRATION
SYSTEM. MAY BE LIMITED BECAUSE
SERVICE PROVIDERS WHO RECEIVE
STATE FUNDING ARE NOT REQUIRED
TO ENTER INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR
PROGRAMS. MY COLLEAGUE CHRIS
PATEL IS AVAILABLE I CAN ADDRESS
ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT AUDIT.
DURING THE SUBSEQUENT AUDIT WE
RAISE THE SPECIFIC CONCERNS THAT
THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT HAD NOT HISTORICALLY
COLLECTED ANALYZED OR REPORTED
DATA. USING OUTCOME MEASURES FOR
ANY OF ITS HOMELESSNESS PROGRAMS
. WHILE EIGHT CD DOES PROVIDE A
NUMBER OF OUTPUTS RELATED TO
FIGHTING HOMELESSNESS SUCH AS
THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FUNDING
AWARDED AND THE NUMBER OF
APARTMENTS OR HOMES THAT WERE
FUNDED- THAT WERE PRESERVED
CREATED AND REHABILITATED. HCD
DOES NOT REPORT OUTCOME MEASURES
THAT DESCRIBED WHETHER ITS
ACTIONS WERE AFFECTED OF A
REDUCING THE NUMBER OF
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE HOMELESS OR
AT RISK OF BECOMING HOMELESS.
MEASURING OUTCOMES IS CRITICAL
NOT ONLY FOR UNDERSTANDING HOW
WELL THE STATE USES ITS FUNDING.
BUT ALSO TO INFORM FUTURE
EFFORTS TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE
HOMELESSNESS IN CALIFORNIA COULD
BENEFIT FROM COLLECTING
ANALYZING AND REPORTING OUTCOME
INFORMATION AS WE FOUND THE
STATE OF WASHINGTON HAS DONE.
MISTER PATEL AND I ARE AVAILABLE

ORGANIZATION RECEIVED IS FROM
THE APPLICATION FEES AND PENALTY
FEE. PENALTY FEES. UP FOR LACK
OF COMPLIANCE WHICH ARE OFTEN
DIFFICULT FOR A WORK WHICH IS A
NONPROFIT TO COLLECT. WITH TEN
THOUSAND PARCELS ENFORCEMENT IS
A MAJOR CHALLENGE FOR A WHACK.
ONLY IN IRAQ ONLY HAS ONE FULL
TIME AND ONE PART TIME STAFF
PERSON. AS A RESULT REVENUE
GENERATION IS UNCERTAIN ANY
GIVEN YEAR AND COST INCREASES
AND LEGAL CHALLENGES MAKE IT
DIFFICULT TO ANTICIPATE COST.
FOR THESE REASONS THEY ARE FACED
WITH A FINANCIAL CRISIS. THAT IS
WHY THEY HAVE REQUESTED THAT THE
LAKE ARROWHEAD COMMUNITY SERVICE
DISTRICT KNOWN AS LA CST. TAKE
OVER THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE CCN
OURS IN ARROWHEAD WOODS. L. A.
CST IS ONE OF THE FEW LOCALLY
ELECTED AGENCIES IN THE AREA
THEY CURRENTLY PROVIDE WATER
SERVICES TO THE PROPERTIES IN
ERRO HEAD BOARDS AND THEIR STAFF
ARE ALREADY IN THE FIELD
VISITING PROPERTIES ON A DAILY
BASIS. THIS PUTS THEM IN A
UNIQUE POSITION TO MONITOR AND
ENFORCE COMPLIANCE IN A MUCH
MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND EFFICIENT
MANNER. TO ACCOMPLISH THIS L. A.
CST NEEDS TO BE PROVIDED
AUTHORIZATION TO ADD THE
ENFORCEMENT OF CCN OURS TO ITS
POWERS. GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION
SIXTY ONE ONE ZERO FIVE
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THEIR UNIQUE
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT EXIST IN
CERTAIN COMMUNITIES THAT
JUSTIFIED THE ENACTMENT OF
SPECIAL FIX STATUTES FOR
SPECIFIC DISTRICTS. AND WE
BELIEVE THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES
EXIST IN THIS CASE. IN
RECOGNITION OF THE UNIQUE
CIRCUMSTANCES IN THE LAKE
ARROWHEAD COMMUNITY S. B.

ON THE OTHER HAND ALREADY SERVED
WATER TO VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE
PROPERTIES AND THE TRACK. HAVE
STAFF THAT ARE OUT IN THE FIELD
EVERY DAY AND INTERACT PROPERTY
OWNERS THREE SOUTHEAST AREA ON A
DAILY BASIS. THE DOCKING AND
COMMUNICATION ABILITY WOULD
ENABLE IRAQ TO BETTER EDUCATE
ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN ERRO
HEADLIGHTS. AND BETTER ENFORCE
THE CCN OURS. THAT'S THE FOUND
IN MEXICO OVER 20% OF PROPERTIES
IN ERRO HEAD FLICK HAS
TRANSFERRED OWNERSHIP THE NEW
PROPERTY OWNERS ARE MODIFIED OF
PROPERTIES WHICH REQUIRE
COMMITTEE ON A VERY LARGE SCALE.
IRAQ IS FINDING IT INCREASINGLY
DIFFICULT TO KEEP UP WITH THE
MAN.EDUCATION AND ENFORCEMENT
UTILITY AND FLOOD OF NEW OWNERS
. IF THE VISION A WHERE TO MAKE
CERTAIN. OF STANDARDS
CONSTRUCTION IN BE ERROL HAD
WITH AREA ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNS
THAT ARE HARMONIOUS TO THE

A FINER POINT ON WHAT I THINK IS
THE ESSENCE OF THIS BILL IS THAT
EVERY PERSON REGARDLESS WHERE
YOU LIVE IN CALIFORNIA SHOULD
HAVE OPPORTUNITY ACCESS OPEN
SPACE IT CHANGES FOR PEOPLE WHO
ARE. WEALTHIER YOU KNOW LIVE ON
A HILLSIDE OR MOUNTAIN SIDE- AND
WE'RE HOPING HERE IS THAT THIS
BILL STIMULATE A CONVERSATION
WITH LEADERS AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENT ALL AROUND THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA TO LOOK AT UPDATES
THEIR OPEN SPACE ELEMENTS WE
KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF EFFORT
BEING PUT INTO OTHER ELEMENTS OF
THE GENERAL PLAN BUT- WE THINK
HIS EMPHASIS ON THE OPEN SPACE
ELEMENT. AND TAKING EQUITY INTO
ACCOUNT- TAKING RESILIENCE
INSERT OPPORTUNITIES TO GO
BEYOND JUST OUR TRADITIONAL
MOTIVE GOING THROUGH
CONSERVANCIES ARE GOING THROUGH
SORT OF- AGENCIES THAT ALREADY
HAVE OPPORTUNITY SET UP TO MAKE
THOSE ACQUISITIONS IF LOCAL

IS. IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES
IDENTIFYING LANDS- AND REALLY
PUTTING EQUITY FIRST I THINK WE
CAN MAKE SOME SERIOUS PROGRESS-
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND
MAKE PEOPLE'S LIVES HEALTHIER
AND HAPPIER- WE CAN TALK A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DETAILS OF
YOUR ONE AND THERE'S A THERE'S
MANY CITIES THAT HAVEN'T UPDATED
THEIR- OPEN SPACE ELEMENTS FOR
MANY DECADES- THIS IS TRUE IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AS WELL AS
CENTRAL NORTHERN CALIFORNIA- BUT
WE REALLY WANT THIS TO BE A
CLATTER PROCESS WITH LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS SO WE'RE HOPING
THAT- IF THE BILL SHOULD MOVE
FOR WE CAN KEEP. WORKING WITH
ALL STAKEHOLDERS IN AND TRY TOSEEK SOME RESOLUTION THE LAST
THEY WERE JUST NOTE THE
IMPORTANT OTHER CHANGE MADE IS
THE COUPLING THIS FROM THE
HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE AND
SETTING A DATE OF TWENTY TWENTY
SIX I THINK WILL PROVIDE A LOT
OF CLARITY BECAUSE THERE'S A
LITTLE CONFUSION AS TO HOW
LINKING THOSE WOULD ACTUALLY
WORK SO THIS IS NOW DECOUPLED
FROM THE HOUSING PROCESS AND YOU
JUST- ON HIS OWN FOR STANDALONE.
SO WITHOUT IT WOULD RESPECTFULLY
ASK YOUR AYE VOTE HAPPY TAKE ANY
QUESTIONS I'VE GOT. AND TO FOLKS

HERTZBERGHERTZBERG HI WIENER.
FORTY ZERO FORTY ZERO WILL PUT
THAT ON CALL AND- MOVE ON TO THE
NEXT BILL. THAT BILL THIS PAST
THANK YOU WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON
TO FILE ITEM NUMBER TEN WHICH IS
SB FOURTEEN FIFTY SEVEN SEVEN
SENATOR HERTZBERG. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS- THE DATA IS STRONG WE
HAVE A HOUSING CRISIS IN
CALIFORNIA. AT HOUSING CRISIS IS
BROADLY STALKED ABOUT ENOUGH
PLACE NOT ENOUGH PLACES FOR
PEOPLE TO LIVE IN WE'RE NOT
BUILDING AND THEN ANOTHER
HOUSING NOW WHAT IS THAT HOUSING
LOOK LIKE IS IT ALL TAX
SUBSIDIZED. AFFORDABLE HOUSING
WARS ARE OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE
TO HAVE HOME OWNERSHIP AND SO
THIS BILL KIND OF TURNS THE
ARGUMENT I HAVE THE GOVERNOR'S
HOUSING PLAN HERE HOW MANY
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ARE SPENDING
OF TAX DOLLARS ON HOUSING BUT
THIS TURNS THE IDEA ON ITS HEAD.
IT BASICALLY HAS CERTAIN VERY
CORE ELEMENTS OF WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO FIRST WE WANT TO
INCREASE PRODUCTION WE DON'T
WANT TO JUST HAVE A PLAN THAT
JUST SAYS YOU CAN BUY YOUR
GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE BECAUSE WE
HAVE AN AD THE NEW HOUSING AND
SECONDLY WHEN SOME FAMILY THAT
COMES INTO BY THE HOUSE IT LEAKY
PIPES AND LEAKY ROOF SHE WANNA
GIVE A BRAND NEW CONSTRUCTION.
SO YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO FIGURE
OUT HOW YOU CAN HAVE A HOUSING
PLAN THAT RESULTS IN MORE
CONSTRUCTION TO YOU WANT TO HAVE
A HOUSING PLAN THAT DOESN'T COST
TAXPAYERS MONEY BECAUSE EVEN
THOUGH WE HAVE A SURPLUS NOW THE
BOTTOM LINE IS IT DOESN'T HAVE
LAST FOR EVER THOSE OF US WHO'VE
BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME WE SEE
THAT GO UP AND DOWN. AND WE SEEN
THAT THERE'S OTHER BIG
CHALLENGES FOR GOVERNMENT TO
SPEND ITS RESOURCES CAN YOU COME
UP WITH SOMETHING WITHOUT USING
TAX DOLLARS THAT CREATE HOUSING
THIRD WE WANT TO PUT GOOD JOBS
PEPLE TO WORK AND WE WANT THIS
TO ALL BE SKILLED AND TRAINED
WORKFORCE. AND THERE'S ALWAYS AN
ARGUMENT ABOUT THAT THE HOUSING
SECTOR WITH RESPECT TO SKILLED
AND TRAINED WORKFORCE BUT WE
THINK THAT COULD HAPPEN AND WE
THINK BY HAVING A SKILLED AND
TRAINED WORKFORCE JUST LIKE I
SAID WITH THE LAST BILL YOU GET
BETTER QUALITY CONSTRUCTION SO
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A TEN
YEAR LAKE DEFECT LAW BECAUSE YOU
GOT. YOU GOT THE BETTER WORK YOU
COULD DO THINGS IN A BETTER AND
MORE INTELLIGENT WAY AND YOU'RE
NOT CREATING A SITUATION WHERE
IN LOS ANGELES FOR EXAMPLE IF
SOMEONE MAKES MINIMUM WAGE THEY
CAN'T AFFORD A TWO BEDROOM HOUSE
MAYKOP APARTMENT EXCUSE ME AND
THE LAST THING IS MOST
IMPORTANTLY I'M TRYING TO DEAL
WITH THE RICH POOR DIVIDE THE
WEALTH GAP. HE KILLING OUR TO.
THE RICHER GETTING RICHER. AND
THE POOR GETTING POORER. HOME IS
WHERE TE WEALTHIEST IF YOU GIVE
PEOPLE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A HOME
INSTEAD OF AFTER TEN YEARS OR
TWENTY YEARS ALL THEY GOT IS A
BIGGER RENT BILL. THEY MIGHT
HAVE SOME EQUITY HOW MANY
FAMILIES IN PEOPLE'S LIVES HAVE
BEEN CHANGED BECAUSE- NOT ONLY
THE IMPACTS IN THE- IN YOUR HOME
AND YOUR FAMILY. BUT TO BE ABLE
TO BUILD WEALTH. SO HOW DO YOU
STRUCTURE THAT WE'VE BEEN
WORKING WELL OVER A YEAR WITH A
COALITION OF LABOR AND BUSINESS
AND- AND LAWYERS AND THE LIKE.
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HOW WE
WOULD DO THAT. AND WHAT YOU HAVE
BEFORE YOU IS A TWENTY FIVE
BILLION DOLLAR BOND. AND IT'S A
G. O. BOND DEAL MEANS GENERAL
OBLIGATION. WHAT WE DO AND WHY
DO WE HAVE A JOB ON MOST YOU'LL
BONDS MEAN THAT THE TAXPAYERS
PAY THE MONEY THIS IS CALLED THE
SELF LIQUIDATING GEO BOND WHY DO
WE GO TO THE VOTERS FOR GEO BOND
WHEN IT'S GOING TO BE PAID FOR
THE MONEY COMES FROM INVESTORS
AND IT'S GOING TO BE PAID BACK
TO INVESTORS. WE DID IT BECAUSE
BY HAVING THE FULL FAITH AND
CREDIT OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA YOU BY LOWER INTEREST
RATE. IF YOU BUY A LOWER
INTEREST RATE YOU REDUCE THE
COSTS IF YOU INCREASING COST
OVER HERE BECAUSE THE
CONSTRUCTION COST BECAUSE YOU'RE
PAYING A FEW DOLLARS TO FAITH
FAIR WAGES OVER HERE IF YOU CAN
REDUCE THE COST BY HAVING. THE
STATE GUARANTEE THE LOAN WHICH
IS BASICALLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING
SO WHAT HAPPENS IS THE WAY THE
PROGRAM WORKS. SOMEBODY WILL GO
TO THE LOCAL BUT BUILT THE
DEVELOPER DECIDES TO OPERATE
INTO THIS PROGRAM AND THEY SAY
WE WANT TO BUILD UNDER THIS
PROGRAM THEY'LL GET SOME
BENEFITS THEY'LL GET BENEFITS ON
BY RIGHT THEY'LL GET BENEFITS
ON. ALL ON THESE SECRETS STUFF
THAT THAT SANTIAGO DID THOUGH
GET BENEFITS ON ON ON REDUCING
THE- LIABILITY FOR LLEYTON
DEFECTS AND- THEN THEY'LL GET
BENEFITS BY VIRTUE OF HAVING
SOME LOAN MONEY FOR OFFSITE
IMPROVEMENTS FOR COMMUNITIES
THAT DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE ALL
THE IMPROVEMENTS. THEN THE CUT
WHAT IS THE CUSTOMER GET
CUSTOMER GOES TO THE BANK AND
THEY HAVE A CREDIT REPORT AND
THEY'VE GOT INCOME BECAUSE
THEY'RE WORKING FOR THE STATE OF
THE WORKING FOR WHATEVER IT MAY
BE COULD BE STAFFER HERE IN THE
BUILDING. AND THEY NOW ALL OF A
SUDDEN COULD AFFORD TO BUY THIS
BUT WHAT THEY DON'T HAVE A DOWN
PAYMENT BECAUSE YOU'RE PAYING
THE BILLS OF THE DAY THEY CAN'T
COME UP WITH THE SCRATCH TO COME
UP WITH A DOWN PAYMENT SO WE'RE
GONNA LOAN PEOPLE UP TO A
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE THOUSAND
DOLLARS- BASICALLY THE ONLY HAVE
TO PUT 1% DOWN AND THE REASON WE
DID ONE PERCENT. IS WE FOUND
THAT FROM ALL THE DATA IF
SOMEBODY HAS SOME SKIN IN THE
GAME SO TO SPEAK 1% OR SEVEN
FIFTY THOUSAND HOUSE THEY PUT
SEVEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOWN
WE PUT THE OTHER HUNDRED FIFTY
THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS DOWN. AND
ALL THEY CAN GET THE HOUSE AND
THEIR MORTGAGE PAYMENT OF A
FIXED MORTGAGE MEANS THAT THAT I
COULD HAVE RENT INCREASES THE
WHOLE. WORLD CHANGES FOR THEM
THEIR LIFE CHANGED THEIR FAMILY
TREE. AND SO. WHAT HAPPENS HOW
DO YOU PAY BACK HOW DO YOU GET
THE STATE HOW DOES THE INVESTOR
GET THEIR HUNDRED FIFTY THREE
THOUSAND DOLLARS BACK. GOOD
QUESTION. THERE'S GOING TO BE A
LIEN AGAINST THE HOUSE THE
SECOND TRUSTEE. AND WHEN THE
HOUSE IS SOLD ADVERTISE TIME IS
NINE YEARS WE FIGURED OUT THE
MECHANICS IN THE MONEY. SO WITH
HOUSES SOLD THE GETS PAID BACK
THERE'S IMPUTED INTEREST OF A
COUPLE PERCENT. AND GET PAID
BACK MOST OF THE MAKE THE
MAJORITY OF THE MONEY WILL GO TO
THE- HOMEOWNER FOR INCREASE.
THERE'S NO INCREASE THEN THERE'S
NO RISK. THE A AND WE'RE
BUILDING THE NECESSARY- LEVERS
INTO THE PROGRAM TO MAKE IT
WORK. SO BOTTOM LINE IS IT'S
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. HOW DO WE
DEAL SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE
THORNIEST PROBLEMS TO ME THE
THORNIEST PROBLEMS IS. WE'VE GOT
TO CREATE WEALTH FOR PEOPLE.
BECAUSE WHICH JUST GETTING WORSE
AND WORSE AND WORSE THE TENSIONS
AND YOU GOT TO GIVE UP
OPPORTUNITY. IN ADDITION TO WAGE
AN OPPORTUNE TO MAKE MONEY. HOW
TO RICH PEOPLE GET RICH THEY
LIVE OFF THEIR MONEY. WHAT A
POOR PEOPLE DO THEY WORK EVERY
SINGLE DAY AND MAKE THEIR BILLS
PAID. YOU GOTTA CHANGE UP THE
ARCHITECTURE THE FINANCIAL
ARCHITECTURE. SO THAT'S WE'RE
TRYING TO DO HE TWENTY FIVE
BILLION DOLLAR BOND. EIGHTEEN
BILLION DOLLARS GOES A LONG
PROGRAM SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS TO
DEVELOPERS WHICH GET PAID BACK
FOR OFFSIDE IMPROVEMENT SO YOU
HAVE COMMUNITIES. THAT DON'T
HAVE ALL OF THE- NECESSARY
INFRASTRUCTURE YOU NEED SOME
CASH TO MAKE THAT BRIDGE
FINANCING. THEY'RE STILL GONNA
BE HOMEWORK IN THIS WOMEN
LOOKING AT THE SIZING OF IT NOW.
THE OPPOSITION COMES IN AND SAYS
THIS. IS ALL THE OPPOSITION
WONDERFUL PEOPLE TO WORK WITH
FOREVER. SAYING WELL YOU'RE
GONNA FREEZE OUT THE BOND MARKET
BECAUSE- WE WANT MONEY FOR TAX
DOLLARS. FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
YEAH I GET IT. I GET IT. BUT IT
TOTALLY KILLS THE ARCHITECTURE
OF THIS DEAL BECAUSE OUR WHOLE
PURPOSE IS NOT TO GO TO
TAXPAYERS AND SAY YOU SHOULD
PAY. WE DON'T WANT IF YOU GO OUT
AND SAY WE'RE GOING TO SAY AND
SPEND FIVE BILLION OR TEN
BILLION DOLLARS FOR HOUSING
BONDS. WHAT THAT MEANS IS EVERY
YEAR COULD HAVE A MORE A PAYMENT
ON YOUR GENERAL FUND THAT COMES
AHEAD OF EVERYTHING ELSE. EVERY
SALARY EVERY OTHER EXPENSE
EVERYTHING FOR FOSTER CARE AND
EVERYTHING ELSE. IN AN WE'RE
GONNA HAVE TO CROWD OUT OTHER IT
COSTS. AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN
WE CAN'T SELL IT IS NOT A COST
TO THE TAXPAYER. BUT IT'S REALLY
GOING TO BE A TAXPAYER DEAL. AND
SO I GET THE FACT THAT FOLKS
THAT ARE IN THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING BUSINESS WANT TO- YOU
KNOW GIVES TAX DOLLARS AND SAY.
YOU SHOULDN'T JUST GO TO
HOMEOWNERSHIP. BUT THIS IS THE
MISSING MIDDLE THIS IS THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE. TO BE
ABLE TO GET ON THE LADDER. YOU
KNOW BECAUSE THE END OF THE DAY.
I MEAN IF I HAD MY DRUTHERS
WOULD NEVER BE ANOTHER
APARTMENT. EVERYBODY WOULD OWN
EVERYBODY HAVE A CONDOMINIUM OR
A COOPER SOMETHING. OPPORTUNITY
TO MAKE WEALTH BECAUSE- LASTING
A CLOSE ON THIS WHEN YOU HAVE AN
APARTMENT. YOU GOT THAT
TAXPAYERS PICKING UP THE TAB FOR
ALL THE SUBSIDIES AND GUESS WHAT
HAPPENS AFTER TWENTY YEARS. THE
RENT GOES UP WITH THE RENT GOES
UP. BIG BURDEN ON THE PERSON
ISN'T WHO'S A RENTER. SECOND
THING THAT HAPPENS IS. THE
LANDLORD GETS RICH BECAUSE THE
VALUE DEPARTMENT GOES UP. SO WE
SPENDING ALL THE MONEY WE'RE
CREATINGALL THESE COVENANTS
THEY GET TO MAKE THE DOUGH. AND
YOU KNOW THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO TO BUILD
EQUITY SOCIETY GOES AWAY. SO
THIS IS IT. I THINK A PRETTY
ELEGANT SOLUTION. TO FIGURING
OUT AND THEY'RE STILL HOMEWORK
AT SCHOOL GOING TO STILL WORK ON
IT. HOUSING COMMITTEE MADE A
NUMBER OF THE MINISTERS AND
MEMBERS WERE GONNA TAKE TODAY.
AND WILL WORK ON IT. AND WHAT
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A MEETING WITH
THE WITH THE WITH THE ADVOCATES
OF THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING STUFF.
BUT I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A
PREEMPTIVE STRIKE ON THAT.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW. WHAT THIS IS
SO IMPORTANT TO THE MISSING
MIDDLE IT'S SO IMPORTANT GIVE
OPPORTUNITIES TO FOLKS. WE CAN
KIDS COME OUT OF COLLEGE. IF WE
CAN DO WITH THIS WITH THE
STUDENT LOAN WHICH I'M WORKING
ON BY THE WAY. AND GET A HOUSE
AND GET ON THE LADDER TO MAKE
MONEY. SO THAT'S THAT'S THE BIG
PICTURE. WE GOT A COUPLE
WITNESSES ARE TALKING ABOUT
THIS. BUT THAT'S WE'RE TRYING TO
DO HERE IT'S A IT'S A HARD WORK
IT'S A HEAVY LIFT I DON'T
DISAGREE. BUT YOU KNOW THAT'S
OUR JOB FIGURED OUT FIXING. TO
GET AWAY. WITH THAT- S. ZERO
VOTE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH I WE

FIFTY SEVEN AT FIRST I BOTH
TODAY THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. MATT CALLAHAN.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS MATT
CALLAHAN WAS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
PARTNERS AND HOMEOWNERSHIP.
SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF SB
FOURTEEN FIFTY SEVEN.
HOMEOWNERSHIP IS A WEALTH
BUILDING POWER HOUSE FOR LOW
INCOME INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES.
PROVIDES A PREDICTABLE MONTHLY
HOUSING EXPENSE THAT ACTUALLY
BECOMES MORE AFFORDABLE AS A
HOMEOWNERS INCOME INCREASES OVER
TIME. HOME OWNERSHIP OFFERS
BETTER HOUSING PRESERVATION WHEN
FAMILY SPACE THAT PEOPLE
FINANCIAL TIMES. PROVIDE SUPPORT
FOR FUTURE FINANCIAL GOALS LIKE
RETIREMENT. AND IT IS THE MOST
DIRECT PATH TO PROVIDING
GENERATIONAL WEALTH HOME
OWNERSHIP GROWS ATTACK BASE
CREATES COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS
THE STIMULATE THE ECONOMY AND
NEIGHBORHOODS WITH HIGH OWN
HOMEOWNERSHIP RATES WE SEE LOWER
CRIME RATES. AND EVEN IMPROVE
SCHOOL TEST SCORES. HOW WHEN WE
LOOK AT THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
LANDSCAPING CALIFORNIA. WE SEE
THAT THE STATE'S OVERWHELMING-
INVESTMENT PROPERTY HAS BEEN AND
CONTINUES TO BE HIGHLY
SUBSIDIZED RENTAL HOUSING
PROJECTS THAT GENERATE HUGE FEES
FOR DEVELOPERS AND PROPERTY
MANAGERS. DO NOT HELP WORKING
FAMILIES TAX TO PROVIDE HOUSING
THEY REALLY WANT AND THAT'S
HOMEOWNERSHIP. AS A STANCE TODAY
HOMEOWNERSHIP IN CALIFORNIA IS
AT RISK OF BECOMING AVAILABLE
ONLY TO WEALTHY ELITES. SB
FOURTEEN FIFTY SEVEN GOES A LONG
WAY TO CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM
TO PROVIDE BALANCE TO THE
STATE'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING
STRATEGY. THE DOWN PAYMENT
ASSISTANCE FINANCING IT WILL
PROVIDE AS A CREATIVE WAY TO
FILL THE AFFORDABILITY GAP LOW
INCOME HOMEBUYERS FACE AND
EFFECTIVELY REMOVES THE SAID
THAT SAVINGS THERE. SB FOURTEEN
FIFTY SEVEN WILL LEVERAGE
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND PRIVATE
MORTGAGE CAPITAL SIGNIFICANTLY
EXPAND THE STATE'S HOMEOWNERSHIP
HOUSING STOCK KAREGA HIGH PAYING
JOBS AND IT DOES ALL OF THIS
WITHOUT. HITTING THE TAXPAYER'S
WALLET. FOR THESE THREE WE SB

OBJECTIVES OF THE BILL AND THEY
ARE UNDERMINE AGAIN THOSE OF
INCESSANT INTEROPERATION. THE
ISSUE THE SENATOR HERTZBERG
MENTIONS ALSO GREAT CONCERN TO
US I THINK THE BUILDING ON WHAT
THE CONSULTANT IS WRITTEN THE
ANALYSIS I THINK THE IDEA THAT
THESE ARE SELF LIQUIDATING BONTA
SOMEWHAT- UNLIKELY- MOST OF
THESE LOANS WOULD BE PAID BACK
FOR AT LEAST FIFTEEN OR LONGER
YEARS IT'LL BE A LOT OF GENERAL
FUND GOING OUT IN THE MEANTIME-
AND WE'VE NEVER DONE A GENERAL
OBLIGATION BOND ET ALONE ONE OF
THIS SIZE IT FOR HOUSING IS NOT
BEEN BALANCED IN ITS APPROACH
LOOKING AT VARIOUS DIFFERENT
ALTERNATIVES SO WE ARE VERY
SUPPORTIVE OF OWNERSHIP. ONE BIG
THAT VERY VERY CLEAR WE ARE VERY
SUPPORT OF THIS SENATORS EFFORTS
TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS WHO DO
THINK OF BOND OF THIS SIZE ON
THE BALLOT HOPEFULLY WILL BE A
BALANCED ONE AMONG VARIOUS
HOUSING NEEDS INCLUDING PEOPLE

AMENDMENTS AND ALL SUPPORTED
AGAIN TODAY AND I'M HAPPY TO
MOVE THE BILL- I YOU KNOW OUR
TIME WILL BE CONTINUING
DISCUSSIONS- WITH THE HAUSER'S-
I WILL SAY I DON'T- FIVE. YOU
KNOW I HAVE NO. I DON'T OBJECT
TO MIDDLE INCOME FOCUSED-
HOUSING PROGRAMS LIKE THIS- YOU
KNOW IS. UNITING THE OPPOSITION
POINT IS- IS VALID AND THAT WE
HAVE LIMITED RESOURCES AND GREAT
NEEDS OF VARIOUS INCOME LEVELS
THAT'S ALWAYS THE- THE TOUGH
PART OF IT AND- YOU KNOW IT'S
AND I'M NOT SEEN AS A RIGHT OR
WRONG ANSWER IT'S JUST REALLY.
REALLY HARD BECAUSE THIS SOCIETY
IS REALLY D. PRIORITIZE THE
PRIORITIZED. HOUSING SUBSIDIES
WE USED TO BUILD ALL SORTS OF
PUBLIC HOUSING MASSIVE
INVESTMENT FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND THAT YOU KNOW
ENDED FORTY YEARS AGO- AND WE'VE
BEEN PICKING UP THE PIECES EVER
SINCE SO I HOPE WE ARE AT ONE
POINT ACTUALLY GOT. MASSIVE
FEDERAL INVESTMENT HOUSING LIKE
WE USED TO HAVE- PASSAGE WANTED
TO DO ONE SAYS I ALIVE SUPPORT
HOMEOWNERSHIP- PROGRAMS- RENTING
IS ALSO IMPORTANT I MEAN
OBVIOUSLY FOR YOU KNOW OUR
LOWEST INCOME RESIDENTS IT'S PER
THERE ARE. PEOPLE WHO IT'S NOT.
REALISTIC AT LEAST AT NUMBER
PRESENT WAY FOR THEM TO OWN. BUT
BUT RENTAL ACTUALLY I DIDN'T
DOES PLAY. US IMPORTANT ROLE IN
AN EFFICIENT HOUSING MARKET
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
ARE NOT YOU'RE NOT IN A POSITION
THE OWNER AT THAT MAKES NO SENSE
FOR THEM. TO OWN- RENTING HAVING
THAT NOT IS THE ONLY THING
HOMEOWNERSHIP IS VERY. IMPORTANT
RENTING IS VERY IMPORTANT. A
TERMS OF- MOBILIT FOR PEOPLE TO
BE ABLE TO RELOCATE TO DIFFERENT
PLACES MEMBER THE NOT READY TO
SETTLE DOWN- THERE ARE PEOPLE
WHO ARE JUST NOT A PLACE TO LIVE
WHERE THEY WANT TO MAKE THAT
LONG TERM COMMITMENTS ARE PEOPLE
NEED THE FLEXIBILITY. TWO METERS
AROUND OUR OWN. ONE OF THE
PROBLEMS NOW. I'M SO SORRY ONE
OF THE PROBLEMS NOW IS THAT
BECAUSE OF A MASSIVE HOUSING
SHORTAGE WE ARE NOT GIVING
PEOPLE THE OPTION TO OWN BECAUSE
IT'S TOO IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE SO
THEY ARE RENTERS WHO WANT TO
OWN. WE SHOULD GIVE THEM THAT
ABILITY. WELL RECOGNIZING THAT
RENTING IS STILL VERY IMPORTANT
. SO I WILL BE AN AYE VOTE TODAY
THANK YOU FOR THE WATER. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH ANY OTHER
COMMENTS. CENTER DRIVE YEAH- I
KNOW THE- AUTHORS EVEN EXPRESSED
RIGHT BUT THE GOAL IS. WE GOT TO
GET MORE PEOPLE TO GET. A
GENERATIONAL WEALTH- SO AND I
ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE IN THAT-
SIMILAR TO WHAT- CENTER WIENER
SAID. HOW DO WE HOW DOES THIS
HELP. THE ISSUE OF SO MANY
PEOPLE WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO.
TAKE EVEN THAT LOAN RIGHT BE
ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT LOAN TO
THEM HOW DOES THIS HELP. THE
ENORMOUS CRISIS OF PEOPLE WHO
CAN BARELY HOLD ON- THEY WOULD
DREAM OF THE DAY THAT THEY COULD
. ASK FOR A LOAN SOMEWHERE AND
BE ABLE TO PAY IT BACK SO I IT.
IT SOME IT'S AN IMPORTANT I SEE
IT IS IMPORTANT PIECE BUT WITH
WHAT WE'RE FACING RIGHT NOW HOW
DO YOU. HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO
THAT WELL IT IS AN IMPORTANT
PIECE OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT
IS TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT CON LIKE
WE DO IN RENTAL HOUSING IF
SOMEONE SAY COMES IN DEVELOPER.
HAS HAS A HUNDRED UNITS WE COULD
DO IS SET ASIDE FOR MORE
AFFORDABLE PEOPLE AND BASICALLY
THE OTHER PEOPLE ARE GONNA KILL
HIGHER PRICE TO GET THERE WE'RE
TRYING TO FIGURE THAT OUT BUT WE
CAN'T SOLVE EVERY PROBLEM. ONE
OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS WE'VE
GOTTEN REASON RENTS ARE GOING UP
SO HIGH AS WE HAVE A SUPPLY AND
DEMAND PROBLEM SO HOW DO WE-
INCREASE AND INCENTIVIZE THE-
SUPPLY SIDE RIGHT HOW DO WE
INCREASE PRODUCTION ALL THE
NUMBERS TALKING ABOUT TWO AND A
HALF MILLION THREE HAVE ME
WHATEVER THE NUMBER IS. OF WHAT
WE NEED IN THAT DEFICIT THAT'S
CAUSING RISING COSTS FOR
EVERYBODY SO LOOK CLEARLY I
THINK WHAT SENATOR WINNERS IT'S
CORRECT I OVERSTATE MY CASE.
WHICH IS FINE TERMS ARE BETTER
BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY I
WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO BUILD
WEALTH I THINK IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR SOCIETY OF PEOPLE
BUILD WEALTH THERE ARE NEEDS
OTHERWISE BUT TO THE EXTENT
FOLKS ARE ARE POOR AND WANT TO
BE ABLE TO. GET SOMETHING AND
BUILD WEALTH WE GOT TO MAKE THE
ECONOMICS WORK SO NO IT DOESN'T
SOLVE EVERY PROBLEM BUT WHAT IT
DOES DO IN MY THINKING IS THA
INSTEAD OF THE TAX DOLLARS
PAYING FOR EVERYTHING ALL THE
TIME TO SO MANY DEMANDS WE'VE
GOT TO BALANCE IT OUT. WE'VE GOT
TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR A
LEG UP FOR PEOPLE AT THE SAME
TIME WEGOT TO PROVIDE THE
SAFETY NET ALL THE OTHER
CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE ALONG
THE CONTINUUM I'M NOT TRYING TO
SOLVE ALL THE PROBLEMS. I'M
TRYING TO SOLVE ONE OF THE
PROBLEMS AND I WOULD SUGGEST TO
YOU THAT THIS COLLATERAL
BENEFITS BRIEFLY IN THIS IF YOU
HAVE HAVING A BUNCH MORE HOUSING
COSTS WHAT YOU INCREASE PROPERTY
TAX INCREASE THE PROPERTY TAX
INCREASE MONEY. TO BE ABLE TO
PAY FOR SO SAFETY THAT ISSUES
YOU CREATE JOBS WHICH THEN
CREATE. CONSTRUCTION JOBS 74%
ECONOMIC FEEDBACK AFFECT HUGE
IMPACTS THE HELP BRIDES
EVERYBODY ALONG THE PROCESS SO.
YOU GOTTA BUILD THE MONEY YOU
GOTTA MAKE WORK DOM KLAY. AND
YOU'RE RIGHT. SOLVE ALL THOSE
THOSE ARE. BUT I THINK IT A LOT
OF OTHER BENEFITS AND- WE'VE
BEEN WORKING WITH A TEN GAUGE
THE FORMER DIRECTOR OF FINANCE.
AND HIS TEAM AND WE'LL GET BACK
TO PUT OUT A REPORT THAT TALKS
ABOUT. ALL OF THE JOBS ALL OF
THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ALL OF THE
BENEFITS FROM A PROGRAM LIKE
THIS IN TERMS OF ITS- ITS
BROADER SENSE. AND A DEAL. THE
POINT THAT WAS MADE WITH RESPECT
TO THE SIZE OF BONDS WE DID TOO
I DID A TWENTY FIVE POINT NINE
MILLION DOLLAR BOND. AB SIXTEEN
AND I THINK 200-022-0004 FOR
SCHOOLS WE'VE DONE BIG BONDS. A
IN TERMS OF THE SIZE OF THE
BONDS BUT WE ARE GOING TO MEET
WITH THE COMMUNITY WE ARE GOING
TO SIT DOWN AND TALK TO HIM.
WE'VE TALKED ALREADY REACHED OUT
TO HIM TO FIGURE OUT. HOW TO
MAKE THIS WORK BUT IT IS THOSE
QUESTIONS ARE LARGER SOCIETAL
QUESTIONS. OF WHAT WE NEED TO
FIGURE OUT. ON BUT THIS IS ONE
OF KIND OF THE MISSING ELEMENTS.
TO TRY TO GIVE PEOPLE. THIS
GENERATIONAL WEALTH. IN ANY WAY
THAT WE CAN I THINK THAT SOLVES
A WHOLE HOST OF OTHER ISSUES AND
WITH THAT. I USE THAT AS MY
CLOTHES. IS THAT THAT SOUNDS
AMAZING FOR THE QUESTIONS. THANK

LEGISLATION THANK YOU VERY MUCH
. THANK YOU MEMBERS AND- THANK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PRESENT SB FOURTEEN FORTY NINE
THE UNINCORPORATED AREA
ANNEXATION INCENTIVE PROGRAM
FIRST I'D LIKE TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR THEIR
ASSISTANCE IN THIS BILL ON THIS
BILL AND I WILL BE ACCEPTING THE
AMENDMENTS OUTLINED ON PAGE FOUR
OF THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS. WHAT
THE STATE THERE ARE MANY
URBANIZED INHABITED AREAS IN THE
COUNTY AND INCORPORATED AREAS
THAT ARE SURROUNDED BY
INCORPORATED CITY RESIDENTS.
THESE AN INCORPORATED AREAS HAVE
NO LOCAL REPRESENTATION BUT
INSTEAD ARE GOVERNED BY THE
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN
THESE AREAS ESPECIALLY IMPORTED
THIS ADVANTAGE COMMUNITIES THE
LEVEL OF BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE
AND SERVICES IS MINIMAL IF IT
EXISTS AT ALL. TO ILLUSTRATE THE
NEED FOR THIS BILL I ASK YOU TO
PUT YOURSELF IN THE SHOES OF
SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN A POOR
RURAL AN INCORPORATED AREA.
IMAGINE A PARENT WALKING THEIR
CHILDREN TO SCHOOL ONE DAY AFTER
A HEAVY NIGHT OF RAIN. BECAUSE
THE COMMUNITY LACKS PROPER
SIDEWALKS AND STORM DRAINAGE THE
FAMILY IS FORCED TO WALK IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO
AVOID FLOODED- MANY AREAS ON THE
SIDE OF THE ROAD THE TYPICALLY
SERVE AS PEDESTRIAN PATHS. THIS
IS THE REALITY FOR MANY PEOPLE
LIVING IN UNINCORPORATED AREAS
AT NIGHT I'VE SEEN IT I'VE BEEN
IN THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS- AFTER A
RAINY DAY AND- I WAS SHOCKED. TO
SEE PARENTS WALKING THEIR
CHILDREN DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE
STREET. BECAUSE HE'S COMMUNITIES
DO NOT HAVE A LOCAL GOVERNMENT
TO PROVIDE SERVICES THEY MUST
MAKE DO WITH WHAT LITTLE PUBLIC
HEALTH AND SAFETY INFRASTRUCTURE
EXISTS. THE DIFFERENCE IN THE
LEVEL OF SERVICE PROVIDED WITHIN
A CITY VERSES WITHIN AN
UNINCORPORATED AREA IS EVEN MORE
NOTICEABLE IN THE AREA HAPPENS
TO BE FULLY SURROUNDED BY CITIES
BOUNDARIES. CREATING AN
UNINCORPORATED ISLAND. IN MANY
CASES LEADING RIGHT UP TO THE
BOUNDARIES OF THE ISLAND THERE
WILL BE PAVED ROADS SIDEWALKS
CURBS GUTTERS AND STREET LIGHTS
ONLY TO STOP. IMMEDIATELY UPON
ENTERING THE BOUNDARIES AT THE
END INCORPORATED HIGHLAND. AND
TO CONTINUE ON AGAIN WITH CITY
SERVICES AFTER EXITING THAT THAT
ISLAND. WELL EXISTING LAW
PREVENTS THE CITY FROM
LEAPFROGGING OVER AN
INCORPORATED AREAS WHEN
EXPANDING THEIR BORDERS TODAY.
THE INCORPORATED ISLANDS CREATED
FROM YEARS OF CITIES PICKING AND
CHOOSING WHICH AREAS THEY WISH
TO ANNEX REMAINS. THIS IN PART
IS DUE TO THE COST TO BUILD AND
CONNECT THE COMMUNITY THE CITY
INFRASTRUCTURE WHICH CREATED A
DISINCENTIVE FOR SISTER CITIES
TO PURSUE ANNEXATION. THAT'S WHY
I'VE INTRODUCED SB FOURTEEN
FORTY NINE THIS YEAR TO
ENCOURAGE CITIES AND COUNTIES TO
JOINTLY PURSUE ANNEXATIONS OF
THESE UNINCORPORATED AREAS AND
PROVIDE THE BASIC NEEDS THAT
MOST PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED. AS
A WAY TO ELIMINATE THESE ISLANDS
SPECIFICALLY SB FOURTEEN FORTY-
WELL AT FOURTEEN FORTY NINE WILL
CREATE A NEW GRANT PROGRAM
WITHIN THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF
PLANNING AND RESEARCH. TO
PROVIDE AN INCENTIVE THROUGH A
MATCHING GRANT PROGRAM FOR
CITIES AND COUNTIES- WHO ANNEX
UNINCORPORATED AREAS FOR
PURPOSES OF FUNDING
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS RELATED
TO HEALTH AND SAFETY. SUCH AS
SEWER SERVICE SIDEWALKS CURBS
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
WITH AMENDMENTS TAKEN TODAY AND
COMMITTEE OPR WILL BE REQUIRED
TO PRIORITIZE GRANTS FOR
ANNEXATION OF DISADVANTAGED
UNINCORPORATED COMMUNITIES AND A
WORK WITH SPECIFIC STAKEHOLDERS
THAT REPRESENT CITIES AND
COUNTIES. AND THE LOCAL AGENCY
FORMATION COMMISSION TO DEVELOP
THE PROGRAM. HERE WITH ME AND
COMMITTEE TODAY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL IS CHRISLEY
WITH THE CALIFORNIA STATE
ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES. MR LEE
PLEASE CONFIRM. GOOD AFTERNOON
BY STERN NIELSEN MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE CHRISLEY ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA STATE ASSOCIATION
OF COUNTIES HERE TODAY IN
ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT- I KNOW
WE'VE HAD A LONG HEARING SO I'LL
TRY TO LIMIT MY ENTHUSIASM AND
KEEP MY COMMENTS BRIEF BUT I DO
REALLY LIKE THIS BILL AND ONE OF
THE REASONS I LIKE IT SO MUCH AS
I THINK BACK TO MY TIME IN LOCAL
GOVERNMENT. WORKING WITH THE
COUNTY WORKING WITH COMMUNITIES
THAT WOULD DIRECTLY BENEFIT FROM
PROGRAM LIKE THIS I THINK ABOUT
A MOBILE HOME PARK SURROUNDED ON
THREE SIDES BY A CITY AND ON ONE
SIDE BY ACTUALLY THE NEIGHBORING
COUNTY HUGE PROBLEMS WITH
SERVICES EVEN JUST GETTING THE
SHERIFF TO GO OUT THERE BECAUSE
OF THE PHYSICAL ISOLATION I
THINK AOUT A COMMUNITY THAT'S
LOCATED JUST ACROSS THE STREET
FROM A CITY BUT DOESN'T HAVE
WATER AND SEWER SERVICE. EXCEPT
FOR VERY LIMITED AND-
SUBSTANDARD SYSTEM THESE ARE THE
TYPES OF COMMUNITIES IN THE
TYPES OF DISPARITIES THAT SB
FOURTEEN FORTY NINE WILL HELP TO
REMEDY AND SO I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO THINK ABOUT WHY DO
WE HAVE SOME OF THESE
DISCREPANCIES SO MANY OF THESE
AREAS MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT BEFORE
TODAY'S MODERN STANDARDS FOR
IMPROVEMENTS THEY MIGHT OF USE
LOOPHOLES LIKE FOR BY BORING OR
A PARCEL MAP OR I'D ANTIQUATED
SUBDIVISION TO GET AROUND. THE
BUILT BUILDING ENVIRONMENT IN
TERMS OF PRODUCING THOSE
SIDEWALKS AND OTHER OFFSITE
IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE OFTEN
NEEDED A LOT OF THE
INCORPORATORS AREAS LACK THE TAX
BASE THEY GET A SMALL SHARE OF
THE PROPERTY TAX THE AREAS THAT
HAVE A LOT OF SALES TAX ARE
USUALLY THE FIRST ONES TO GET
ANNEXED AND SO WHERE YOU
TYPICALLY SEE A HIGHER LEVEL OF
SERVICE IN THE UNINCORPORATED
ZONE IS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE VOTED
TO TAX THEMSELVES ARE. FORMER
SPECIAL DISTRICT TO PROVIDE A
HIGHER LEVEL OF SERVICE IN THESE
COMMUNITIES THAT DON'T HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT THEY'RE
REALLY COMPETING AGAINST EVERY
OTHER USE OF GENERAL FUND
DOLLARS THAT COULD BE HAPPENING
AT THE COUNTY HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES PUBLIC SAFETY ETCETERA.
SO REALLY SMETIMES THE BEST
OPTION FOR THESE COMMUNITIES IS
ANNEXATION INTO THE CITY BUT WHY
ISN'T THAT HAPPENING SOONER
CABALLERO DIGNIFIED ONE OF THE
KEY ISSUES WHICH IS THE COST OF
BRINGING THAT INFRASTRUCTURE UP
TO THE SAME LEVEL AS THE CITY'S.
GOING AN EXAMPLE FOR STANNIS
COUNTY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO
HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND. DOLLARS
PER MILE OF SIDEWALK
IMPROVEMENTS AND CITIES AND
COUNTIES ALREADY FACE HUGE
DEFICITS FOR TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE THIRTY SEVEN
POINT SIX BILLION DOLLARS IN
UNFUNDED NEEDS TO MAINTAIN OUR
LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS OVER THE
NEXT DECADE. AND TWENTY TWO
BILLION DOLLARS FOR COMPLETE
STREETS COMPONENTS LIKE
SIDEWALKS DRAINAGE IN EXACTLY
THE TYPES OF THEM STRUCTURE SB
FOURTEEN FORTY NINE WITH SUPPORT
. I'M WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH THE AUTHORED MAKE SURE
THE INCENTIVE STRUCTURE IN SOME
OF THE SPECIFICS OF THE BILL GET
THIS RIGHT BECAUSE THAT. THAT IS
REALLY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE IT
REALLY WORKS IN PRACTICE BUT
HERE TODAY IN SUPPORT AND ASK
FOR YOUR AYE VOTE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DO YOU HAVE
ANY OTHER. HERE PRESENT THE
TESTIFY SIR THANKS EVEN ACROSS
THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES
IN SUPPORT THANK YOU FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP. LEAGUE OF CITIES YOU
SAID. YES SIR OKAY THANK YOU.
MANY OTHERS. A AND- DO WE HAVE
ANY- ON ON THE LINE. MODERATOR
THANK YOU IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT FOR S. B.
FOURTEEN FORTY NINE PLEASE PRESS
ONE ZERO. ONE ZERO AT THIS TIME. MISTER CHAIR NOBODY IS KILLING
OUT ALL RIGHT. WE DO NOT HAVE
ANY OPPOSITION BUT WHY DON'T YOU
INQUIRE OPERATOR WE'RE NOT
SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANY BUT- WOULD
YOU INQUIRE. AGAIN IF YOU WOULD
LIKE TO TESTIFY AT THIS TIME
INTO OPPOSITION R. FOR
OPPOSITION. ON S. B. FOURTEEN
FORTY NINE PLEASE PRESS ONE
ZERO. ONE ZERO. SOUNDS LIKE
THERE ARE NONE A MEDICARE WOULD
GOING UP WITH PART PARDON. I AYE
SKEWS ME I WAS JUST SAYING
NOBODY IS KILLING US THAT'S WHAT
I FIGURED THE MAN CARE DO WANT
TO WISH TO DO GOOD VEHICLES FOR
SENATE BECAUSE THE CENTER WE ARE
NOT EXCUSE ME NO PROBLEM- FIVE
FOR SO I MOVED THE BILL- I MEAN
THIS IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA
GIVING- COUNTIES ARTISTICALLY
GIVING CITIES MORE TOOLS AND
RESOURCES. AND INCENTIVES TO OUR
CORPORATION OUR TO AN EXCUSE ME-
OF COURSE ANNEXATION IS ALWAYS-
COMPLICATED AND THERE THE
SITUATIONS THAT YOU DESCRIBED
WITH HER VERY VERY REAL- THERE
ARE OTHER- MORE POLITICIZED
ASPECTS OF MY- I NEVER HAD TO-
YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT
ANNEXATION- BEING IN A CITY IN A
COUNTY THAT WAS COMBINED BUT-
ONES. I WAS ELECTED TO THE
SENATE THANK YOU REPRESENT
UNINCORPORATED AREA AND A
CEMETERY COUNTY- BROUGHT MORE
WHICH IS IF YOU LOOK AT A MAP IT
SEEMS LIKE IT'S PART OF DALY
CITY BUT IT'S NOT AND THERE'S
BEEN THE RECESSION LEGISLATION
DECADES AGO BY- THEM CENTER
CLINT COP TO BAN DALY CITY FROM
ANNEXING. BROADMOOR DALY CITY AS
A TIMES AND NEXT BECOME THE
LUCRATIVE TAX BASS COMMERCIAL
AREAS ABROAD MORE BUT DOESN'T
WANT THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS AND
BROADMOOR HAS ITS OWN POLICE
COMMISSION THEIR SYSTEMS SELVES
ARE PENSION LIABILITIES USE IS
ALWAYS VERY COMPLICATED BUT
OTHER AREAS OF THE STATE WHERE
IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO
ENCOURAGE- ANNEXATION THE
SUPPORT OF SOME HAPPY TO SUPPORT
THE BILL TODAY. AND THE QUESTION
ALSO- THANK YOU SENATOR- IT IS
STILL WITH. THIS TO ENCOURAGE I
JUST WANT TO CLEAR THAT THE
GRANT. DOESN'T READ THEM TO. THE
B. M. BUT THAT IS- IT'S WHILE IT
. DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHILE I.
CONSIDERED REQUIRING IT BECAUSE
MANY OF THESE COMMUNITIES HAVE
HAVE REALLY BEEN ABANDONED TO
THEIR OWN DEVICES THERE ON SEPT
SIX WHEN THEY'RE SEWER RIGHT
DOWN AT THE END OF THE STREET-
THEY SOME OF THEM ARE ON WELLS
STILL WHEN THEY COULD HOOK INTO
THE WATER SYSTEM AND- NOT HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR WELLS- AND
THEN THERE'S THE CURB GUTTER
SIDEWALK THE DRAINAGE ISSUES-
THIS. IS VOLUNTARY- THIS WILL
CREATE. THE REALLY AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NEIGHBORS TO
UNITE AND TO GO TO THE CITY AND
THE COUNTY AND TO SAY WE WANT
THIS I'VE MET WITH A NUMBER OF
NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS AND THIS IS
THEIR NUMBER ONE ISSUE IS THAT.
WE HAVE REALLY BAD SERVICE THIS
THE SHERIFF IS RARELY IN OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE THEY'RE OUT
IN THE- IN THE HINTERLANDS- AND
WHEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM WE CALL
CITY POLICE. WHEN THEY MOVE INTO
THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS THEY DON'T
KNOW THAT IT'S A COUNTY
INCORPORATED BECAUSE IT LOOKS
THE SAME AND AT NIGHT. IF YOU
DRIVE ITO THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD
IT'S PITCH DARK AND YOU CAN SEE
THREE BLOCKS DOWN THE ROAD YOU
CAN SEE THE LIGHTS. STARTING AND
A BLOCK THIS WAY AND SEE THE
LIGHTS AND SO THEY'RE REALLY-
LEFT- YOU END UP WITH BURNED OUT
HOUSES- A LOT OF TRASH BEING
ACCUMULATING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
BECAUSE THERE'S NO LIGHTS
THERE'S NO ACTIVITY- TO KEEP
PEOPLE SAFE SO THERE'S NO
REQUIREMENT IS SO THIS IS- TO
ALLOW THEM TO. APPLY FOR THE
GRANTS TO. DO THE THINGS THAT.
SHOULD BE DONE THAT'S CORRECT
BUT ULTIMATELY. THEY THEY DON'T
HAVE TO BE AND I GUESS THE IDEA
IS THAT IT'S AN INCENTIVE THIS
IS THE CARROT BEFORE WE GO IN
WITH A STICK. SO MANY OTHER
