WELCOME CENTER THE RUSSELL THANK
YOU THANK YOU- GOOD MORNING
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE- FIRST I WANT TO THANK
YOUR COMMITTEE STAFF FOR WORKING
WITH MY OFFICE ON THE
AMENDMENTS. TO CLARIFY
COMPLIANCE WITH STATE AND
FEDERAL LAW WHICH I WILL BE
ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENTS WILL
ENSURE NEW SIGNS ARE SCREENED BY
CALTRANS AND ARE CONSISTENT WITH
THE FEDERAL LAW AND THE STATE'S
FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION
OBLIGATIONS. THE AMENDMENT WILL
CLARIFY THAT IF THE DEPARTMENT-
RAISES AN OBJECTION THEN THE
ADVERTISING DISPLAY MAY NOT BE A
WRECKED IT IF THE DEPARTMENT
DOES NOT RAISE AN OBJECTION-
WITHIN A TO BE AGREED UPON TIME
OF ALONG WITH A WRITTEN
JUSTIFICATION THEN THE
ADVERTISEMENT DISPLAY IS
PRESUMED TO BE DEEMED IN
COMPLIANCE. AND MAY BE WRECKED.
SENATE BILL THIRTEEN OH NINE
WILL EXTEND THE ARENA EXEMPTIONS
IN THE OUTDOOR ADVERTISING ACT
UNTIL TWENTY TWENTY EIGHT. IN
ORDER TO PROVIDE A PATHWAY FOR
STADIUMS AND ARENAS TO PURSUE
FLEXIBLE REVENUE STREAMS AND NOT
RELY ON PUBLIC FUNDING THIS IS A
MAJOR HISTORIC CHANGE IN
FINANCING OF ARENAS AND
STADIUMS- SEVERAL YEARS AGO. OUR
CITIES AND COUNTIES DECIDED THAT
PUBLIC DOLLARS SHOULD NOT BE
USED TO BUILD THESE ARENAS AND
STADIUMS AND SO THEY HAD TO FIND
ALTERNATIVE FUNDING. THE ARENA
EXEMPTION WAS FIRST ESTABLISHED
BY THE LEGISLATURE- TO FUND THE-
HELP FUND THE CONSTRUCTION ON
THE OPERATIONS ON THESE ARE A
VERY IMPORTANT ECONOMIC AND
CULTURAL REGIONAL CENTERS
STADIUMS CREATE THOUSANDS OF
PERMANENT. AND CONSTRUCTION
JOBS- CREATE GENERATE MILLIONS
IN STATE AND LOCAL TAXES THE
STADIUMS IS ALSO PROVEN TO BE
VITAL PARTNERS IN OTHER WAYS. AS
GAMES WERE CANCELLED DURING THE
PANDEMIC MOST ARENAS BECAME
DISTRIBUTION CENTERS FOR THOSE
OF FOOD DISTRIBUTIONS AND PP
DISTRIBUTION AS WELL AS THE
VOTING CENTERS. IN MY DISTRICT
DODGER STADIUM FOR INSTANCE
TESTED MORE THAN ONE MILLION
ANGELENOS FOR CORONAVIRUS AND
BECAME ONE OF THE LARGEST COVERT
NINETEEN TESTING AND VACCINATION
SITES IN THE WORLD. OVER THE
YEARS THE ARENA EXEMPTION WAS
CLARIFIED AND EXTENDED TO GIVE
TEAMS AN OPPORTUNITYTO CONTINUE
THIS TYPE OF PROGRAMMING. THIRTY
NO SB THIRTEEN OH NINE WILL
EXTEND THE BENEFIT THE
LEGISLATURE APPROVED FOR
STADIUMS AND ARENAS THIS BILL
WILL ALSO REDUCE THE LENGTH OF
TIME FOR A MARKETING CONTRACT
FROM THE CURRENT ONE YEAR. TO A
GROUP OF A NUMBER OF DAYS TO BE
AGREED UPON WHICH WERE MORE
ACCURATELY. RB FLEX OUTDOOR.
OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE SAFEGUARDS
IN THE BILL TO PREVENT THE LOSS
OF FEDERAL HIGHWAY DOLLARS AND
ENSURE THAT ANY FUTURE ARENA
DISPLAYS DON'T VIOLATE OR OF
STATE OR FEDERAL LAW. IF THE
FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION
PROVIDES A NOTICE OF NON
COMPLIANCE THE SIGN MUST COME
DOWN. IN ADDITION ALL ARENA
BILLBOARD DISPLAYS MUST BE
APPROVED BY THE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS THEY ARE IN. AGAIN
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS MUCH
APPROVED MUST APPROVE AND THESE
ARE THE SAME ARE ENTITIES THAT
REVIEW AND APPROVE NON ARENA
BILLBOARDS SO THEY HELD TO THE
SAME STANDARD. ARENA OPERATORS
ARE NOT GRANTED ON UNREGULATED
PRIVILEGE THEY MUST COMPLY WITH
STATE AND FEDERAL LAW AND LOCAL
APPROVALS. OPPONENTS ARGUE THAT
THIS BILL PROVIDES A FINANCIAL
ADVANTAGE FOR SPORTS ARENA
BILLBOARDS IT IS IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE OVER
EIGHT THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED
OUTDOOR BILLBOARDS IN THE STATE.
AND OF THOSE NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED
OR DIGITAL SIGNS THE MAXIMUM
NUMBER OF NEW BILLBOARDS THAT
COULD BE AUTHORIZED BY THIS LAW
REPRESENTS LESS THAN 1% OF ALL
OUTDOOR BILLBOARDS AND LESS THAN
FIVE PERCENT. OF NEWER DIGITAL
SIGNS THIS MASSIVE INDUSTRY WILL
NOT BE DISRUPTED THESE ARENA
BILLBOARDS CANNOT POSSIBLY DR
EXISTING OPERATORS OUT OF
BUSINESS BECAUSE THERE SIMPLY
AREN'T THAT MANY OF THEM.
REGARDLESS I REMAIN COMMITTED TO
CONTINUING TO WORK WITH
OPPOSITION AS THE BILL MOVES
FORWARD IN THE LEGISLATIVE
PROCESS I LOOK FORWARD TO WORK
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH- YOUR
COMMITTEE STAFF TO ENSURE THAT
WE DO NOT JEOPARDIZE FEDERAL
HIGHWAY FUNDS. MADAM CHAIR TODAY

MISTER BENNY TRAN FROM THE LOS

OF CALIFORNIA STADIUM- YOU MAY
PROCEED PLEASE. MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS MY NAME IS MANY TRANS I
AM AN EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT
OF LOS ANGELES FOOTBALL CLUB. I
AM PLEASED TO BE HERE ON BEHALF
OF LAFC IN SUPPORT OF SENATE
BILL THIRTEEN OH NINE. OUR
COPAYS IT'S HOME GAMES AT BACK
CALIFORNIA STADIUM IN DOWNTOWN
LOS ANGELES. SINCE THE TIME OF
OUR OPENING IN TWO THOUSAND
EIGHTEEN THIS FULLY PRIVATELY
FINANCED STADIUM HAS BECOME NOT
ONLY THE HOME TO LEADING I'M
LASTING. BUT IT HAS ALSO BECOME
AN IMPORTANT ECONOMIC AND
CULTURAL CENTER FOR THE REGION.
ONE THAN FLOYD AND EMPLOYS
THOUSANDS OF LOCAL WORKERS MANY
OF THEM REPRESENTING LOCAL
UNIONS. DURING THE HEAD OF THE
CODEPENDENT MAKE WHEN MLS GAMES
WERE CANCELLED THE STATE IT
BECAME A DISTRIBUTION CENTER FOR
THOSE IN NEED OF FOOD P. P. S.
AND SEVERAL ALSO HOSTED SEVERAL
VACCINE DRIVES. WE ALSO DURING
THE TWENTY TO TWENTY TWENTY
ELECTION. BECAME AN EARLY VOTING
CENTER. LIKE THE OTHER
PROFESSIONAL STADIUMS AND ARENAS
IN CALIFORNIA ARE TIED. TO THE
COMMUNITY R. D. I BELIEVE IT
WILL A RECOGNIZE OF THE VALUES
OF THESE LARGE COMPLEXES.
PROVIDED TO CALIFORNIA THAT LED
THE LEGISLATURE. TEN YEARS AGO
THAT AUTHORIZED STADIUMS LIKE
OURS. DIRECT TO OFFSITE
BILLBOARDS TO GENERATE
ADDITIONAL MARKING REVENUE. TO
ASSIST IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND
OPERATION OF THE STADIUMS. WHEN
THIS AUTHORIZATION WAS GRANTED
TO STADIUMS THE ADVERTISING WAS
REQUIRED TO BE PART OF A ONE
YEAR MARKING PLAN BETWEEN THE
STADIUM. AND ADVERTISER. IT WAS
BELIEVE. THIS WOULD PROVIDE
STAYS WITH A SIGNIFICANT REVENUE
BENEFIT. UNFORTUNATELY THE
APPROACH OF MARKETING
ADVERTISING HAS CHANGED. THE
OWNERS OF THE BUSINESS SERVICES
INCREASINGLY WANT SHORTER
DURATION. MORE TARGETED
MESSAGING WHICH A ONE YEAR LOW
LONG MARKETING PLAN MAY NOT A
COMEDY. STAVES ARE MISSING OUT
ON MUCH NEEDED REVENUE. THE BILL
CORRECT THAT SHORTCOMING BY ONLY
REQUIRING WORKING PLANTS TO BE
THIRTY DAYS IN LENGTH. AND THIS
IS PARTICULARLY ACUTE FOR MAJOR
LEAGUE SOCCER AS WE ARE NEWLY
NEW EARLY. AND FOR US AS A NEW
TEAM AND STADIUM- IN IN
CALIFORNIA AND LOS ANGELES. WE
ARE THE PATHWAY. TO BECOME
PROFITABLE BUT WE'RE NOT THERE
YET. IN ADDITION TO THAT DURING
THE TWO YEARS THE PANDEMIC.
SINCE WE RELY SOLELY ON REVENUE
THAT IS BASED ON ATTENDANCE WE
HAVE LOST TENS OF MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS. WE APPRECIATE THE
CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR CALIFORNIA
PROFESSIONAL TEAMS AND STADIUMS.
AND URGENT I ABOUT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU TRAN. AND NEXT WE HAVE
A SECOND LEAD SUPPORT WITNESSES
MARTHA'S OF SEVERAL FROM ATG.
GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE I'M MARTHA
SOCIO CHIEF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS
OFFICER FOR EIGHTEEN. ATG IS
PLEASED TO SUPPORT SB THIRTEEN
OH NINE AND WE WANT TO THANK
SENATOR DORADO FOR INTRODUCING
THIS MEASURE. HEADQUARTERED IN
LOS ANGELES AG IS THE WORLD'S
LEADING SPORTS AND LIVE
ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY AGEE'S
DEVELOPED WORLD CLASS VENUES
LIKE CRYPTO DOT COM ARENA
FORMALLY KNOWN AS STAPLES CENTER
AS WELL AS MAJOR SPORTS AND
ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT SUCH AS
ELLIE WHY. SB THIRTEEN OH NINE
PROVIDES ADDITIONAL CLARITY AND
FLEXIBILITY IN CONNECTION WITH
THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION
OF STADIUMS AND ARENAS
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA WHICH
SERVE AS A MAJOR CATALYST FOR
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY. THE ECONOMIC
ACTIVITY GENERATED SUPPORTS
THOUSANDS OF GOOD PAYING UNION
JOBS BOTH DURING CONSTRUCTION
AND OPERATION. AND HAS A
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON TOURISM
AND HOSPITALITY SECTORS
IMPORTANT ECONOMIC DRIVERS FOR
THE STATE. FREEWAY VISIBLE
SIGNAGE ON OR NEAR STADIUMS
ARENAS AND SPORTS AND
ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICTS HAVE
BECOME AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF
THE ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY OF NEW
STADIUM AND ARENA PROJECTS. AND
FOR RENOVATIONS OF THESE
FACILITIES WITHOUT THE RELIEF
OFFERED BY S. B. THIRTEEN OH
NINE THE CURRENT PROVISIONS AT
THE OUTDOOR ADVERTISING AT. ARE
LIKELY TO STIFLE FUTURE
CONSTRUCTION. ALTHOUGH SB
THIRTEEN OH NINE BROADENS THE
REACH AND IMPACT OF THE ARENA
EXEMPTION IT DOES NOT OPEN THE
DOOR FOR A PROLIFERATION OF
OUTDOOR SIGNAGE AROUND THE STATE
AND ITS APPLICABILITY IS LIMITED
ONLY TO PROFESSIONAL SPORTS
VENUES. CONCERNS BY COMMITTEE
STAFF HAVE BEEN RAISED REGARDING
THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF SUCH
LEGISLATION ON FEDERAL AID
HIGHWAY FUNDING. NO ONE
CERTAINLY NOT AG WANTS TO IMPACT
FEDERAL AID HIGHWAY FUNDING WE

AMENDMENTS AND THE COMMITTEE

MEGAN LOPER WITH THE CALIFORNIA
STATE OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
ASSOCIATION- IF YOU'D LIKE TO
COME UP AND TESTIFY IN
OPPOSITION TO SB THIRTEEN OH
NINE. GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS REMEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MEGHAN LOW FOR ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING ASSOCIATION.
HOW WE REMAIN RESPECTFULLY
OPPOSED TO SB THIRTEEN OH NINE
AND DO APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S
COMMENTS. ABOUT THE AMENDMENTS
AND WE HAVEN'T HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SEE A REVIEW THAT
LANGUAGE BUT AT FROM THE
DISCUSSION HERE IT SOUNDS LIKE.
HAD THEY TAKEN MEANINGFUL STEPS
TO LOOK AT FEDERAL COMPLIANCE
FOR FUTURE SIGNS BUT WE REMAIN
CONCERNED WITH SIGNS THAT ARE
EXISTING. THAT HAVE FEDERAL
VIOLATIONS AND THE CSAA HAS
REPRESENTED LICENSE OUTDOOR
ADVERTISERS HERE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA SINCE NINETEEN SIXTY
SEVEN. AND OUR MEMBERS DO
REPRESENT BOTH SMALL FAMILY
OWNED INDEPENDENT OPERATORS AND
LARGER NATIONAL COMPANIES DOING
BUSINESS HERE IN THE STATE. OUR
MEMBERSHIP REPRESENTS ABOUT 90%
OF THE BILLBOARD FACES THAT YOU
SEE THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA. I
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S COMMENTS
ABOUT THE NUMBER OF OUTDOOR
ADVERTISING SIGNS AND THE- BIG
QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT.
THIS MEANS THAT ARENA SIGNS-
REALLY POSE A THREAT
RESPECTFULLY WE WOULD- SUBMIT
THAT THEY DO GIVEN THAT ARENA
SIGNS ARE OPERATING IN MANY
CASES AT SIZES THAT ARE BEYOND
WHAT IS ALLOWED UNDER FEDERAL
LAW. AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
OFFER CROSS PROMOTIONAL
MARKETING ACTIVITIES THAT GIVES
ADVERTISERS A RETURN ON
INVESTMENT THAT A SINGLE SIGN.
I'M ON MY WAY CAN OFFER. I WE
LOOK FORWARD TO TAKE. TO WORK
WITH THE SPONSORS- BUT
APPRECIATE THE CONCERNS RAISED
IN THE ANALYSIS THAT YOU TALK
ABOUT THE THREATS TO FEDERAL
FUNDING WE DO FEEL THAT THE
MARKETING PLAN WHO WAS A
RECOGNITION THAT ARENA SIGNS
WERE RECEIVING SPECIAL TREATMENT
AND BEING. ALLOWED TO BE
ARRESTED IN OP AND PLACES THAT
ARE AT LICENSE BILLBOARD
OPERATORS WERE NOT ABLE TO SPEAK
PERMITS FOR. AND WE DO FEEL THAT
THAT MARKETING PLAN WAS AN
ATTEMPT TO LEVEL THE PLAYING
FIELD AND BY CHANGING. AND
ELIMINATING THAT DOWN TO THIRTY
DAYS THAT PUTS THESE FINES IN
DIRECT COMPETITION WITH OUR
MEMBERSHIP. AT RESPECTFULLY WE
MUST AT THIS TIME REMAIN OPPOSED
AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS THANK YOU VERY MUCH
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISS LOPER.
I NEXT OUR OUR LEAD OPPOSITION
WITNESS NUMBER TWO IS MISTER
STEVE CRUZ WITH OF THE ALLEY OF
DORE MR CRUISE YOU MAY BEGIN
YEAH. A GOOD MORNING MENTION
MEMBER STEVE RUZ AND I
REPRESENT A NUMBER OF THE SMALL
AND MEDIUM SIZED- BILLBOARD
COMPANIES THAT OPERATE IN
CALIFORNIA. I WOULD ECHO SOME OF
THE COMMENTS MADE BY THE SLOPER-
GET PRETTY THE COMMENTS BY- THE
COMMITTEE RECOGNIZING COUPLE
ISSUES WHICH IS ONE- THE
UNFAIRNESS AND HEAR AN
UNFAIRNESS OF. THE DYNAMICS THAT
YOU CREATE AND APPROVING WHAT WE
CALL THESE ONE UP BILLBOARD
EXEMPTIONS- AND THE REALITY IS
THE SMALL COMPANIES HAVE ALSO
BEEN IMPACTED BY CODE LIKE A LOT
OF OTHER BUSINESSES INDUSTRIES.
AND SO WE'RE COMPETING FOR THAT
SAME FINITE NUMBER OF
ADVERTISING REVENUES AND IF YOU
HAVE THE CHOICE TO BE ON THE
SITE LOCATED PROBABLY ON A
FREEWAY AND IT'S TEN TIMES
LARGER THAN THE ONE. SIX BLOCKS
IN THAT'S UNFAIR ADVANTAGE AND
SO- I THINK THAT'S OUR PRIMARY
CONCERN ALSO WHEN THEY'RE
READING EXEMPTION WAS APPROVED
IT WAS APPROVED AT IT WAS A
TEMPORARY IN NATURE RIGHT TO
ASSIST IN THE FINANCE OF THE
STADIUM. AND THE PROPONENTS COME
BACK IN ONE EXTEND THAT SO IN
OUR MIND IF YOU DO IT FOR THIS
BILL YOU'LL HAVE TEN MORE THIS
YEAR NEXT YEAR AND IT MAY NOT BE
FOR THE RETAIL. BEFORE SOME
OTHER EXEMPTIONS OUT. WE HAVE
RELEASED TO HOLD THE- BECAUSE WE
PLAY BY THE RULES WE THINK
OTHERS PLAY BY THE RULES AND SO.
UNFAIR A PLANE FIELD I THINK IS
A ISSUE I- THAT WE HOPE THAT YOU
CONSIDER I THINK THE OTHER IS ON
THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY- DOLLARS AT
RISK AGAIN THAT'S A REAL ISSUE
THERE'S BEEN- COMMUNICATION FROM
FHWA IN THAT REGARD. AND SO
RECEIVE THEM AND IF THEY WERE
SUGGESTED BY THE COMMITTEE-
WOULD LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUE
TO WORK WITH YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
THAT PROPONENTS BUT AGAIN WITH
THIS POINT WE ARE STRONGLY
OPPOSED. THANK YOU MR CRUISE SO
IF CONCLUDED EARLY TESTIMONY IN
OPPOSITION TO SB THIRTY NINE SO
WE'LL TAKE IT TO THE GALLERY
ANYONE ELSE IN THE GALLERY WOULD
LIKE TO- TESTIFYING IN
OPPOSITION. TO SB THIRTEEN OH
NINE PLEASE. C. NINE MODERATOR
WILL TAKE IT BACK TO YOU TO THE
TELECONFERENCE LINE FOR ANYONE
WHO WOULD LIKE TO TESTIFY IN
OPPOSITION TO SB THIRTEEN OH
NINE PLEASE. THANK YOU FOR IN
OPPOSITION UP AT THE THIRTEEN OH
NINE YOU MAY PRESS ONE. THEN
ZERO. AGAIN AT ONE NINE ZERO IF
YOU'RE IN OPPOSITION SB.
THIRTEEN OH NINE. AND I'M SURE
WE HAVE NO OPPOSITION TO IT THIS
TIME OKAY THANK YOU WE'VE
CONCLUDED SUPPORT IN OPPOSITION
SO WE'LL TAKE THE DISCUSSION
BACK TO MEMBERS SENATOR
ARCHULETA. THANK YOU MANAGER I'D
LIKE TO COMPLIMENT THE AUTHOR-
FOR TAKING THE AMENDMENT AND THE
AMENDMENT IS JUST FOR CD. JUST
MINUTES AGO OBVIOUSLY ADDRESSES
THE FEDERAL VIOLATIONS THAT
MIGHT OCCUR- BUT MORE
IMPORTANTLY THE FACT IS THAT-
IT'S BEEN STATED THAT IF THERE
IS ANY VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW.
THAT THE ADVERTISEMENT OR THE
DISPLAY. OF THE APPARATUS
WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE THE
BILLBOARD ITSELF WILL BE
REMOVED. AND CONSEQUENTLY
REMOVING ANY CHALLENGE- FROM THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND- WOULD
NOT AFFECT OURSELVES IN THE
STATE. IN VIOLATION AS WELL OR
THE CITIES AND I THANK YOU FOR
THAT AND I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO
COMPLIMENT THE FACT THAT YOU HAD
MENTIONED THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE
OPPOSITION- TO- LOOK AGAIN AT
SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT STILL
MIGHT REMAIN. WHICH PERTAIN TO
DISTANCE THE ADVERTISEMENT OF
CERTAIN ITEMS WITHIN THE STADIUM
OUTSIDE THE STADIUM SO I HOPE
THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO DO THAT AND
THIS IS WHY I'M IN A- AGREED TO
MOVE THE BILL- UNDER COMMITTEE
SO YOU CAN CONTINUE WORKING.
WITH THE OPPOSITION. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MR THANK YOU SEVEN
ARCHULETA ANYMORE. A MEMBERS OF
CENTER RUBIO. I THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR. YOU KNOW I ALSO
APPRECIATE THE INTENT OF THIS
BILL AND- YOU KNOW FIRST OF ALL
I WANTED KNOWLEDGE EVERYTHING
THAT THEY'RE RINOS HAVE DONE.
DURING THE COVER TIMES UNITED IT
WAS ALREADY EXPRESSED YEAR- I
KNOW THAT THEY BECAME- CENTERS
FOR VACCINATION SITES AND THEY
PROVIDED A LOT OF BENEFITS TO
LOCAL COMMUNITIES. WHICH IS
COMMENDABLE- BUT I CONTINUE TO
HAVE CONCERNS ON THIS BILL AND
PERHAPS COMING FROM LOCAL
GOVERNMENT I HAD. EMAILED A
NEGOTIATED SEVERAL LOCAL
CONTRACTS ON WITH BILLBOARDS AND
I DO KNOW- BASED ON THE ANALYSIS
OF THIS COMMITTEE YOU KNOW IT
DOES POSE A SOMEWHAT OF A
UNFAIR. COMPETITION ACCORDING TO
THE ANALYSIS THAT I HAVE RIGHT
BEFORE ME IT SAYS THE ARENA
EXTENSION WAS ORIGINALLY
ESTABLISHED TO HELP. FUND NEW
SPORTS ARENAS BOTH CONSTRUCTION
AND OPERATIONS. ACCORDING TO THE
ANALYSIS IS SAYS THIS BILL WILL
INCREASE THE BILLBOARD
ADVERTISING REVENUES OF THESE
ALREADY SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATIONS
HOWEVER THIS NEW REVENUE COMES
AT THE EXPENSE OF THE
TRADITIONAL OUTDOOR ADVERTISING
COMPANIES. AND THE COMMITTEE
WANTED TO JUST STATE THAT THAT
SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO
CONSIDERATION. AND SO I'M A
LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT THAT
ADVANTAGE THAT WILL BE PLACED
AND DISADVANTAGED TO SMALLER-
BILLBOARD. COMPANIES AND I KNOW
THAT THE INTENT IS THERE WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE
SUCCESSFUL WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY CONTINUE TO EMPLOY
PEOPLE. I MEAN THE REALITY IS
YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN GOING TO
DODGER GAMES SINCE I WAS A
LITTLE GIRL AND I YOU KNOW I'VE
ALWAYS KNOWN HIM TO BE
SUCCESSFUL EVEN BEFORE
BILLBOARDS YOU KNOW THE BIG.
BRIGHT ONES THAT WE SEE NOW AND
FREEWAYS AND I BELIEVE THAT THEY
WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL
AND FOR ME AS I WANT THIS
CONVERSATION TO IS. TO SOMEHOW
INCLUDE THOSE SMALLER BILLBOARDS
RIGHT NOW I'M JUST BASED ON THE
FIRST- SUPPORTER I'M SORRY YOUR
LEAD WITNESS YOU KNOW THIS IS
WHAT HE SAID THIS BILL WILL
HELP. GENERATE ADDITIONAL
REVENUES STADIUMS ARE MISSING
OUT ON SIGNIFICANT REVENUES WE
ARE NOT PATHWAY TO BECOME
PROFITABLE- BUT WE'RE NOT THERE
YET AND STILL THE CONVERSATION
REVOLVES. A LOT AROUND
PROFITABILITY AND I THINK THAT.
THEY WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE
GOOD PAYING JOBS BECAUSE THEY
NEED TO THEIR LARGE INSTITUTIONS
THAT RELY ON GOOD PAYING JOBS TO
KEEP THAT NEED A STADIUM COINED
THE WORKFORCE WILL BE THERE THE
PROFITS WILL BE THERE IT'S JUST
A MATTER OF HOW MUCH. MY
PERSONAL CONCERN IS I WANT TO
SUPPORT THIS BILL BUT I NEED
MORE CONVERSATION ABOUT SMALLER
COMPANIES WHAT ARE WE DOING FOR
THEM TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE
NOT. AT A DISADVANTAGE AND I DO
BELIEVE THIS IS UNFAIR
COMPETITION. I WANT TO BE
SUPPORTIVE RIGHT NOW I'M GONNA
HAVE TO LAY OFF BUT I'M
ABSOLUTELY OPEN TO HEARING WHAT
WE'RE GONNA DO FOR THE SMALLER
COMPANIES. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
SENATOR RUBIO AND I THINK A
SENATOR THAT ALSO CAN EXPLAIN IN
HER CLOTHES AND SO SENATOR
AKOWSKI NEXT THANK YOU MANAGER-
I'M- THE OPPOSITION RAISES
CONCERNS ABOUT THE CURRENT SIGNS
THAT MAY BE OUT OF FEDERAL
COMPLIANCE. BECAUSE THE
AMENDMENTS THAT I HAVE TALKED TO
. BY THREE ERECTING THE THAT THE-SIGNS THAT THE DEPARTMENT WOULD
BE ABLE TO CALTRANS WE WILL SAY
NO YOU CAN'T DO THAT IN USING
THE CRITERIA OF WHETHER IT'S
TWELVE HUNDRED SQUARE FEET TWO
CLICK LOCATED TO CLOSE IT
ANOTHER SIGN OR ON DISPLAY IN
FULL MOTION PICTURES AS A SORT
OF A IDEAS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING
AT SO IT'S PRETTY ESY TO
DETERMINE WHETHER IT'S TWELVE
HUNDRED SQUARE FEET OR TO CLOSE
. SO MY QUESTION IS THAT SINCE
WE'RE RE AUTHORIZING THE EXPIRED
SPECIAL PROVISIONS THIS THE
AUTHOR THINKS. THAT THE
EFFECTIVE DATE AND THE OTHER
DISCRETIONARY APPROVAL POWERS
SAID WE'RE GIVING TO THE
CALTRANS WITH THIS AMENDMENT IS
ENOUGH FOR THEM TO. ENFORCE ANY
PERCEIVED VIOLATIONS CURRENTLY
AND SIGNS THAT ALREADY EXIST.
THANK YOU CENTER AKOWSKI AND I
THINK THAT'S A QUESTION SOCIETY
RATHER DO IT WOULD YOU LIKE TO
ANSWER THAT NOW- WHEN YOU'RE
CLOSE. I THINK IN MY CLOTHES I
COULD PUT BUT BECAUSE OKAY AND
THEN. THE OTHER QUESTION MADAM
CHAIR IF I COULD USE THAT- AFTER
THIS ANSWER RECTITUDE I GUESS
THE QUESTION IS THAT I GET. THE
TWELVE HUNDRED FEET YOU CAN DEAL
WITH THAT YOU CAN DEAL WITH TOO
CLOSE TO EACH OTHER BUT THEN
DISPLAYING FULL MOTION PICTURES
EVEN THOUGH. IT'S ONLY 5% OF THE
SIGNS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THESE
VIDEO THINGS HOW DO HOW THIS
CALTRANS POLICE IF SOME. PERSON
WAS DOING MOTION PICTURE WHEN
YOU'RE ONLY SUPPOSED TO DO STILL
ADDS WITH REGARD TO FEDERAL LIFE
GETS ITS IT'S IN COMPLIANCE WITH
STATE LAW BUT HOW WOULD WE
ENFORCE. THAT PROVISION OR IS.
AGAIN THIS DISCRETIONARY
APPROVAL ANOTHER FOR THEM TO GO
NGUYEN POSTER ACTION AND REMEDY
YET. THANK YOU SENATOR WHITE
HOUSE SKI AT SENATOR BATES.
THANK YOU- MADAM CHAIR I WOULD
LIKE TO ALSO COMPLEMENT THE
AUTHOR I KNOW THAT YOU'VE DONE A
LOT OF WORK ON THIS TRYING TO
BRING THE TWO SIDES TOGETHER IN
ENSURE THERE'S FAIR NOW SPENT. I
ECHO THE COMMENTS OF MY
COLLEAGUE SENATOR RUBIO I THINK
THAT THEY UNFAIR ADVANTAGE- IS
REALLY VERY COMPELLING ARE TO
OFFER ME TO CONTINUE TO OPPOSE
THAT WITH THE HOPES THAT AS IT
GOES FORWARD. I YOU'LL REALLY BE
ADDRESSING THAT AND CERTAINLY
THE QUESTIONS RAISED BY SENATOR
WIECKOWSKI THOSE ARE ALL OF THE
COMPELLING NATURE. IN TERMS OF
SETTING A PRECEDENT I EVEN
THOUGH IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE TERM
THESE THINGS CONTINUE AND
CONTINUE AND ARE CERTAINLY I'M
CONCERNED IT DRIVES OUR
TRADITIONAL. FOLKS OUT OF
BUSINESS SO- I WILL REMAIN
OPPOSED TODAY BUT WITH THE HOPES
THAT WHEN IT REACHES. THE FLOOR
THAT WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE- AT
THAT POINT IN TIME A COMPROMISE
THAT WORKS FOR BOTH SIDES OF THE
EQUATION. THANK YOU SENATOR
BATES CENTER MELENDEZ. I'M THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR I THINK
SOMETIMES BECAUSE WE'RE DOING
THESE COMMITTEE HEARINGS ON THE
FLOOR WE- ASSUME THAT THE
PROCEEDINGS IN THE FORMALITIES
ARE LIKE WHEN WE ARE IN SESSION
BUT WEARING COMMITTEE AND SO THE
QUESTION IS BEING ASKED OF THE
OTHER IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO BE
ANSWERED AT THE TIME THEIR ASSET
MAY PRECIPITATE EVEN MORE
QUESTIOS I WOULD JUST ASK THAT-
SENATOR DORADO. ADDRESS SOME OF
THE CONCERNS IT'S IN A WHITE CAL
SKI ASK BECAUSE- THE ANSWERS TO
THOSE QUESTIONS MIGHT LEAD TO
MORE SO THAT WE CAN PROPERLY VET
THIS BILL IN THIS COMMITTEE
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SENATOR
MELENDEZ SENATOR ALSO WOULD YOU
LIKE TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE
CONCERNS. AND I CAN ALSO-
CLARIFY SOME OF THE AMENDMENTS
JUST I THINK EVERYONE HAS THE
AMENDMENTS ON THEIR DESK A
PROVIDED BAR CHIEF CONSULTANT.
BUT THE PROPOSED WHAT THE BILL
DOES AS PROPOSED TO BE AMENDED
THREE THINGS TWO OF THEM ARE
UNCHANGED AT THE HIP AND HAD
BEEN DEBATED. THE FIRST ENSURES
THAT FUTURE ARENA BILLBOARDS ARE
COMPLIANT WITH STATE AND FEDERAL
LAW BY REQUIRING CALTRANS PRE
APPROVED IN IN AN UNSPECIFIED
NUMBER OF DAYS OF THAT IS GOING
TO BE NEGOTIATED. WING FORWARD-
EXTENDS ARENA SUNSET UNTIL
TWENTY TWENTY EIGHT. IT REDUCES
THE MINIMUM DURATION OF THE
ARENA MARKETING PLAN TO THIRTY
DAYS FROM ONE YEAR STILL BEING
DISCUSSED- AND IN TERMS OF THE-
CITY I BELIEVE SENATOR CASKEY
MENTION THE- CALTRANS
ENFORCEMENT ISSUE THERE. THERE
THIS BILL DOESN'T ADDRESS THE
ENFORCEMENT ISSUE. THIS IS OF
COURSE NOT YOU KNOW NEW
BILLBOARDS- BUT- THERE HAD BEEN
VIOLATIONS IN THE PAST AND SO WE
NEED TO- GET CLEARED I THINK
MOVING FORWARD FIGURE OUT WHAT
THE- ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS WILL
BE FOR CALTRANS MOVING FORWARD
IF THIS BILL SHOULD PASS OUT OF
COMMITTEE- BUT SENATOR RAZA
WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD
ADDITIONAL. INFORMATION SURE I
MEAN I THINK WITH REGARDS TO THE
UNFAIR COMPETITION- AGAIN AND I
MENTIONED THIS EARLIER- THE
NUMBER OF SIGNS THAT EXIST
THROUGHOUT THE STATE SPREAD ALL
OVER THE STATE. OF IS MASSIVE
EIGHT THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED
SCIENCE- WE'RE TALKING HERE LESS
THAN ONE PERCENT. OF WHAT WOULD
BE THE NUMBER THAT COULD BE
AUTHORIZED BY BY THIS EXTENSION-
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE-
ARGUMENT. THAT IN THESE VERY
LIMITED LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE THAT IS GOING TO CREATE
SUCH A DISADVANTAGE- THAT'S ONE
THE SECOND THING IS I REMEMBER
THAT THERE HAVE TO BE LOCAL
APPROVALS ARE HAS TO BE LOCAL
ORDINANCE. THAT THEY ALSO- HAVE
TO GO FORWARD AND GET- BEFORE
THEIR LOCAL ENTITIES. SO THEY
HAVE TO THE ARENA BILL BOARDS
ALSO HAVE TO GET THAT- THAT
APPROVAL SO- THE NUMBERS TO SHOW
THEY'RE NOT UNFAIR COMPETITION-
THE WAY IN WHICH THEAPPROVALS
HAVE TO BE DONE. SHOWS THAT THEY
HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH THE HOOPS
JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE- AND I
DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE- WHAT ELSE
TO SAY ABOUT THAT- WITH REGARDS
TO ENFORCEMENT AS YOU SAID MADAM
CHAIR- THIS IS. IN CALTRANS
HANDS WE- THIS OF- EXTENSION OF
THIS BILL DOES- OF THIS
EXEMPTION. IS NOT SOMETHING
THAT'S GOING TO IMPACT THE
ENFORCEMENT THE ARGUMENT WAS
MADE THAT THERE ARE SOME SIGNS
OUT THERE THAT COULD BE OUT OF
COMPLIANCE. WE DECIDED OKAY
LET'S DEAL WITH IT MOVING
FORWARD SO THAT'S HOW WE ADDRESS
THAT- AND I. I DON'T KNOW WHICH
OTHER QUESTIONS MADAM CHAIR OKAY
THANK YOU SENATOR RUSSELL.
SENATOR WILL GO TO SENATOR ALAN
AND THEN COME BACK TO CENTER
MELENDEZ SENATOR ALAN. YEAH
THANK YOU FOR THIS DISCUSSION- I
YOU KNOW I HAVE LESS OF A
PROBLEM CONCEPTUALLY OUT OF WITH
THIS BILL IN THE SENSE I DO
UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WERE JUST
TALKING ABOUT. AREAS AROUND
STADIA- I DON'T THINK THAT THE
TYPES O PLACES. WHERE I THIS
BILL ENVISIONS ADDITIONAL
ADVERTISING WITH THE KINDS OF
PLACES THAT LADY BIRD JOHNSON
HAD MINE WHEN SHE PUSHED THE
LEGISLATION THE FIRST PLACE. I
WILL SAY ONE THING THOUGH AND I
DON'T AND I KNOW. THAT THE
AMENDMENTS HELP A LITTLE BIT IN
THIS PLACE BUT I DON'T THINK GO
FAR ENOUGH. AND I UNDERSTAND
THAT. WERE ALREADY IN VIOLATION
OF FEDERAL LAW- THROUGH EXISTING
PROGRAMS BUT YOU KNOW WE'RE
TAKING ON A RISK HERE. ARE BY
DOUBLING DOWN ON THIS SYSTEM ON
ON THIS APPROACH. I DON'T I
DON'T HAVE A- UP A CONCEPTUAL
PROBLEM WITH. THE APPROACH I YOU
KNOW FROM MY PERSPECTIVE. THE
DRIVE AROUND DODGER STADIUM OR
OR THE ONE TEN FREEWAY OR ANGEL
STADIUM THAT'S NOT THE TYPE OF.
BEAUTIFUL GREEN WAY THE LABOR
JOHNSON TRY TO PROTECT. IT SO I
DON'T MIND IF THERE'S NEW MORE
ADVERTISING RIGHT AROUND THAT
STADIUM IT'S FINE TO ME BUT- I
THINK THAT THE FOLKS WHO ARE
MAKING MONEY OFF OF THIS OUGHT
TO BE HELPING TO. PAY THE STATE
A LITTLE BIT TO HELP COMPENSATE
US FOR THE RISK THAT WE'RE
TAKING. ASSOCIATED WITH OUR FOR
OUR HOW ARE HIGHLY FUNDS BECAUSE
THE END OF THE DAY THE
ACCOUNTABILITY COMES TO US AND
NOT TO THE FOLKS. WHO COULD BE
VIOLATING THE LAW- ON THE GROUND
AND I WANT TO BRING THAT UP AND
I JUST WANT TO SHARE THIS WITH
MY COLLEAGUES YOU KNOW IT IT
SEEMS LIKE THE STATE'S NOT
TAKING ON. THIS THERE'S NO
UPSIDE TO THE STATE HERE IN
SPITE OF THE BIG RISK THAT WE'RE
TAKING ON AS WE CONTINUE TO
DOUBLE DOWN. ON THIS APPROACH.
AND I LOVE YOU KNOW IF THE IF
THE IF THE CHAIR THE AUTHOR HAVE
COMMENTS ON THAT I WOULD
CERTAINLY LOVE TO HEAR. WHAT IT
. IF I COULD. HERE TO DROP- THE
ROUTE WE'RE ADDRESSING THE RISK
IN A WAY THAT'S NOT BEEN
ADDRESSED THERE HASN'T BEEN
LANGUAGE THIS IS MUCH STRONGER
LANGUAGE THAN WHAT EXISTS NOW AS
FAR AS CALTRANS RESPONSIBILITIES
WE'RE GIVING MORE TEETH TO THEM
SAYING IF YOU GET A NOTICE. IF
YOU GET A NOTICE FROM THE STATE
AND- LET ME JUST BACK UP THERE
IS NO THERE ARE BEEN NO SPECIFIC
NOTICES THAT ARE BROUGHT TO AND
BEEN BROUGHT TO ANYBODY'S
ATTENTION THAT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT HAS ISSUED SO AS FAR
AS WITH. WE KNOW YOUR IT THEY
AREN'T ANY GOING ANY SPECIFIC
NOTICES BUT MOVING FORWARD IF US
UP A NOTICE IS GIVEN BY THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT THERE'S
A VIOLATION THE DEPARTMENT HAS
THE RIGHT TO. TAKE IT DOWN THE
CALTRANS HAS A RIGHT TO TAKE IT
DOWN I MEAN THAT'S MORE POWER
THAN THEY'VE EVER HAD- SO WE
AGREED TO DO THAT EVEN THOUGH
THERE'S NO PROOF THAT OR
EVIDENCE THAT. BY PUTTING UP
SOME MORE SIGNS THAT THAT'S
GOING TO MEAN THAT THE SIGNS ARE
ALL IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW
WE'RE SAYING IS OKAY IF THERE'S
A CONCERN ABOUT THAT LET'S
ADDRESS IT LET'S GIVE MORE POWER
TO CALTRANS AND THEY'LL BE ABLE
TO TAKE DOWN A DISPLAY IF
THERE'S A NOTICE BEING GIVEN TO
IF THERE'S A THREAT IF THEY
THINK THERE'S A THREAT. OF
LOSING FIVE OF FEDERAL FUNDS
THEY CAN TAKE IT DOWN SO THERE'S
A WAY TO CURE THE PROBLEM- IN A
WAY THAT STRONGER THAN IS EVER
UP THERE WE'VE EVER HAD AND WE
SEE TAKE IT DOWN WHO PAYS FOR
TAKING IT DOWN. THE AT
ADVERTISER. SO THEY AND THEY CAN
COMPEL. YES I CAN SAY CRIMINAL
PENALTIES IF THEY DON'T DO IT
WHAT WHAT'S THE MECHANISM BY
WHICH THEY THEY'RE- THEY'RE
TAKING DOWN THE SIGN. THEY SAY
YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT DOWN. I
WOULD HAVE A DOMINO WHAT. IS
WHAT WHAT'S THE MECHANISM I
UNDERSTAND THAT WE'VE GOT
DIFFERENT WAYS I'M JUST TRYING
TO STAY WITH THE MECHANISMS FOR
ENFORCEMENT AND WE DID IN THIS
PARTICULAR BILL WE DON'T GET ANY
MORE DETAIL ON THAT OTHER THAN
TO GIVE VERY EXPLICIT DIRECTION
THAT CALTRANS CAN ORDER THEM TO
TAKE IT DOWN. OKAY THANK YOU
SENATOR RAWSON AS WE MENTIONED
BEFORE THINK WITH- THE AUTHORS
MENTIONING IS THERE'S STILL A
LOT TO BE DEBATED- BUT- IN THE
FIRST AMENDMENT PROVIDED TO YOU-
INSURES THAT FUTURE RINA
BILLBOARDS ARE COMPLIANT WITH
STATE FEDERAL OTHER REQUIRING
CLUB CALTRANS PRE APPROVED- IN
AN UNSPECIFIED NUMBER OF DAYS
BUT- THE NUMBER OF DAYS IS ONLY
WHAT. IS ADDRESSED IN THE BILL
OR WILL BE ADDRESSED MOVING
FORWARD NOT THE ENFORCEMENT
MECHANISM BUT AGAIN SOMETHING
THAT COULD BE DISCUSSED AND I
THINK THAT- YOU KNOW AS WE'RE
DEBATING THIS OF COURSE LOTS OF
QUESTIONS AND OPINIONS ON THIS.
WE DO HAVE THE AUTHORITY HAS ITS
COMMITTEE TO BRING THIS THIS
BILL BACK SHOULD WE HAVE MORE
ADDITIONAL YOU KNOW MORE
QUESTIONS AN ADDITIONAL-
COMMENTS TO BE MADE ON THIS BUT-
THAT IS- I TRUST THAT THE AUTHOR
IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO MAKE.
INROADS WITH BOTH SIDES SO WITH
THAT SAID- SENATOR MELENDEZ WILL
GO BACK TO YOU AND THEN WE'LL
GO. TO SENATOR MEN. I'M THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR SO. A COUPLE OF
THINGS YOU KNOW. WE HAVE BILLS
TO COME THROUGH COMMITTEE AND IT
IS VERY COMMON FOR THERE TO BE A
FEW TWEAKS THAT NEED TO BE MADE
A FEW ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE
ADDRESSED THAT AREN'T MAJOR
CHANGES BUT ARE RATHER MINOR
CHANGES WERE DISSATISFIED- SOME
OF THE OPPOSITION. BUT IT IS
INCUMBENT ON US AS LEGISLATORS
IN THIS COMMITTEE TO PROPERLY
VET THESE BILLS AND MAKE SURE
THAT WE ARE NOT PASSING BILLS.
THAT ARE FILLED WITH HOLES AND
HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS RELATING TO
THE CORE ISSUE THAT THE BILL IS
TRYING TO ADDRESS AND THAT IS
WHAT I SEE. WITH THIS BILL IT IS
. IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR US TO
PUSH BILLS FORWARD THAT WE KNOW.
AREN'T READY WITH THE HOPES OF
AT SOME POINT DOWN THE ROAD IT
WILL GET FIXED BECAUSE WHAT
HAPPENS- TOO OFTEN IS IT BECOMES
A MESS. IN THE OTHER HOUSE AND
THEN IT'S- I MEAN THAT'S NOT THE
PROPER WAY. TO DO OUR JOBS HERE
SO I THINK THIS BILL IS. IS NOT
READY TO MOVE FOR YET THAT IS MY
OPINION I WILL ADD ON. THOUGH
THAT THE SMALLER TRADITIONAL
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING COMPANIES-
YOU KNOW AREN'T BEING GIVEN THE
SAME ADVANTAGE. THAT YOU ARE
GIVING THESE OTHERS IN YOUR BILL
AND WE SEE THAT TIME AND TIME
AGAIN. PARTICULARLY WITH-
SPORTING ARENAS AND ATHLETIC
TEAMS THAT THEY GET EXEMPTIONS
THAT THE SMALLER GUYS JUST DON'T
GET AND I JUST WONDER HOW LONG.
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE. TO GIVE
A HAND OUT. TO THE ONE
PERCENTERS THE BIG CORPORATIONS
OUT THERE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE
SMALLER GUYS I THINK THERE IS A
WAY- TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE
WITHOUT- YOU KNOW TRAMPLING. ON
THE SMALLER GUYS SO WITH THAT-
I'M SORRY I CAN'T SUPPORT YOUR
BILL TODAY I APPRECIATE. WHAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO DO BUT I THINK
THERE'S- FAR TOO MANY- YOU KNOW
I'M I'M- ISSUE IN THIS BILL. FOR
US TO MOVE IT FOR IN THE HOPES.
THAT IT SOME POINT DOWN THE ROAD
A GETS PICKED YOU MANAGE. THANK
YOU SENATOR MILLER. SENATOR MEN-
QUESTION FOR THE OTHER. YES SO I
WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND
THE SPEAR OF THE MEN THAT
YOU'RE- TODAY. IS A CORRECT THAT
YOU ARE. TO ADD THE CONCERNS MY
COLLEAGUE FROM CINEMA REYES TO
IS THAT- THIS. YOUR WHICH MAY
STILL NEED TO BE FLESHED OUT A
LITTLE BIT. THE GOAL IS TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE ARE NOT. PERMITTING
NEW ADVERTISING THAT IS IN
VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW THAT
ALL OF THE FEATHER ALL OF THE
NEW ADVERTISING AROUND SPORTS
ARENAS. THAT IS PERMITTED UNDER
YOUR BILL WOULD BE COMPLIANT
WITH FEDERAL LAW TO ADDRESS THE
CONCERN HE HAS IS THAT KIND OF
THE GOAL YOU DON'T IS THAT GONNA
BE CONTINUE TO BE THE GOAL
YOU'RE WORKING TOWARDS AS YOU
CONTINUE TAKING MINUTES. YES
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THANK
YOU AND SO I APPRECIATE THAT
ANSWER I THINK. THAT ADDRESSES
MY MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS BILL
SO I WILL BE SUPPORTING THE BILL
TODAY I HOPE YOU CONTINUE TO
WORK TO. A PERFECTED ADDRESS
SOME OF THE CONCERNS RAISED BY
MY COLLEAGUES BUT THANK YOU VERY
MUCHFOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SENATOR MEN
AND SENATE ARCHULETA YES I'M-
MANAGER EDWIN ADDITIONAL
QUESTION FOR THE AUTHOR. THE
EXPANSION. OF THESE NEW
BILLBOARDS WITH A GO BEYOND A
MILE AND A HALF. I THOUGHT THERE
WAS A- LIMIT. MY CONCERN IS TO
GO TO FAR. IN ENCROACH INTO. THE
OTHERS A SMALL- BILLBOARDS AND
SO ON. RIGHT I THOUGHT IT WAS
IT'S RIGHT. EXACTLY THE ARENA
AND THEY WOULD ONLY ADVERTISE.
THE PRODUCTS WITHIN THE ARENA.
OR IS THE BILL TAKEN IT. OUTSIDE
BEYOND. THAT SAY A MILE OR SO
IT'S IN THE PERIPHERY OF THE
ARENA. BUT NOT. EXCEEDING MAYBE
A THOUSAND FEET RIGHT THOUSAND
FEET IT DOESN'T EXCEED A
THOUSAND FEET YEAH. THANK YOU.
MANY THANK YOUS AND ARCHULETA
WILL GO BACK TO SENATOR RUBIO.
THANK YOU I JUST WANNA
CLARIFICATION- WHAT MOM SENATOR
ARE TO LARGEST PASSED. IS IT A
THOUSAND FEET WITHIN THE ARENA I
CAN YOU CLARIFY THERE'S A POP UP
AND I'M SORRY I DON'T HAVE IN
FRONT OF ME RIGHT NOW WHERE IT
TALKS ABOUT A PARKING STRUCTURE
OR- PARKING FOR THE ARENA CAN
YOU CLARIFY IS IT FROM THE
STADIUM. OR FROM THE PARKING
IT'S FROM THE ANY PARKING
FACILITY USED IN THE OPERATION
OF THE ARENA. BECAUSE THAT'S
WHERE I HAVE A LITTLE BIT
CONCERNED ANY A PARKING USE IN
THE OPERATION OF THE ARENA SO
LET'S SAY POTENTIALLY THEY CAN.
BUY A SECOND LOT SOMEWHERE ELSE
TO ACCOMMODATE THE OVERFLOW
TRAFFIC AND- AND PARKING OF THE
ARENA DOES THAT MEAN THAT THEY
WILL USE THAT. TO QUALIFIED AS
ONE THOUSAND FEET SO IT COULD
BE. I DON'T KNOW LET'S SAY TWO
THREE BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE ARENA
CANNOT BE MISUSED IN ANYWAY WELL
WE TRIED OUR BEST A THOUSAND
FEET FROM ANY PARKING FACILITY
USED IN THE OPERATION OF THE
ARENA. WE TRIED TO MAKE IT AS
CLEAR AS POSSIBLE IT'S AT THE
ARENA PARKING FACILITY. AT THE
ARENA. OKAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU
SENATOR CORTESE. THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR OF I'M I'M SUPPORTIVE OF
THE BILL- IN I DO I DO HAVE ONE
CONCERN I WANT TO BRING OUT- I.
IT'S REALLY THE ONLY CONCERN I
HAVE OF FOR WHATEVER THAT'S
WORTH BUT- I'M NOT. VERY
SYMPATHETIC TO THE COMPETITION
ISSUE- ALSO HAVING BEEN A LOCAL
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL AND SEEN
SOME OF THE BATTLES TO. OF THE
INDUSTRY JUST TO TRY TO GET A
PRESENCE IN IN HIGH TRAFFIC HIGH
PROFILE AREAS I'M NOT SURE WHY
ANYBODY IN THIS INDUSTRY WOULD
OPPOSE SOMEBODY ELSE. BREAKING
THROUGH- TO CREATE OPPORTUNITY I
MEAN IT SEEMS TO BE AN INDUSTRY
THAT'S UNDER SIEGE AND YOU'D
THINK EVERYONE WOULD. JUMP
ABOARD SAY THE MORE THE MERRIER
WE LIKE THIS KIND OF COMPETITION
BECAUSE IT RE OPENS OUR
INDUSTRY- SO THAT IS MY THINKING
AGAIN I JUST. FELT LIKE SAYING
THAT- THANK YOU FOR INDULGING ME
IN THAT- BUT I WOULD SAY ON THE
HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION ISSUE
ALSO ALONG WITH SOME OF MY SOME
OF OUR COLLEAGUES HERE HAVING
SERVED. A LONG TIME- YOU KNOW
DEALING WITH THE FEDERAL DOT AND
HIGHWAY MINISTRATION SO FORTH I
THINK AT SOME POINT YOU NEED TO
GO FURTHER THAN THESE AMENDMENTS
ARE AT SUPPORT THIS TODAY. BUT
TO REALLY REQUIRE AN
AFFIRMATIVE. DOCUMENT OF SOME
KIND OF FROM HOW IT MINISTRATION
CONCURRENT WITH THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF- OF THESE NEW
BILLBOARDS I JUST DON'T TRUST
EIGHT WE SAW WITH CHANGES OF
ADMINISTRATION- OVER THE LAST
FEW YEARS COMMITMENTS THAT WERE
MADE THAT WERE PULLED BACK IN.
VERBAL COMMITMENTS THAT WERE
MADE THAT WERE SOFTENED UP LATER
ON AND THINGS LIKE THAT SO-
AGES. WHAT I WOULD ENCOURAGE
INTO. ASSUMING THAT- WILL ALL
GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO VOTE ON
THIS BILL AT SOME POINT- THAT-
AND- YOU WOULD FEEL A LOT BETTER
TO ME. TO NOT JUST. KEEP MOVING
IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION BUT TO-
YOU KNOW TO REQUIRE- PROOF OF
THAT NON OBJECTION- FROM FROM
THE FEDS BEFORE PROCEEDING AND I
THINK THAT WOULD PROTECT
EVERYONE INVOLVED INCLUDING THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE INVESTING IN
THESE BILLBOARDS IN- AT AND
WOULD SUIT CAN ONLY ASSUME AT
SOME POINT- IT TURNS INTO- THE
LEGAL WORLD THAT THAT WOULDN'T
BE VERY PRETTY IF THAT HAPPENED
SO. SO YOU JUST WANT TO EXPRESS
OUR CONCERN BUT- AT. UNLIKE THE
BILL OVERALL AND- PRESHEAF THE
AUTHOR BRING FORTH THANK YOU
THANK YOU SENATOR CORTESE WE
HAVE ONE LAST MIKE UP BY SENATOR
ALAN- YEAH I MEAN I LOOK AT.
I'VE I'VE 'M I'M HAVE I'M
WILLING THE TO SUPPORT THE BILL
TODAY TO GIVE YOU GOT THE
OPPORTUNITY CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THESE ISSUES BUT I WILL SAY THAT
. I THINK THEY'RE THEY'RE YOU
KNOW. I THINK THE FIRST MINUTE
USER ARE REAL- AND I THINK IF WE
WERE TO MAKE THE SIGN SMALLER
THAT WOULD HELP- I KNOW THAT
CALTRANS HAS BEEN IN THE MIDDLE
OF A BIG BATTLE OVER SIGNS IN
INGLEWOOD AND IT'S JUST IT'S A
BIG MASSIVE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT
AND- I THINK IT'S YOU KNOW I
THINK THAT THE ENFORCEMENT IS
GOING TO BE TOUGH. HI IN THIS
WERE REALLY SMART ABOUT AND I
WOULD ASK THAT THE AUTHOR-
REALLY SPENT SOME TIME DIGGING
INTO THAT ISSUE- INSURING I
THERE'S GOOD ENFORCEMENT AND
THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO RESPOND
QUICKLY IF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TRIES TO CLAMP DOWN.
ON US BECAUSE I'M I'M CONCERNED
ABOUT THE CERTAINLY STEP IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION AND I AND BY THE
WAY I UNDERSTAND WE'VE BEEN
ACTING IN THIS MANNER FOR A LONG
TIME THIS BILL I'M JUST GOING TO
CONTINUE THE EXISTING PRACTICE
BUT I DO THINK AT SOME POINT
WE'VE GOT TO PUT IN PLACE
MECHANISMS THAT ARE GONNA ALLOW
US TO RESPOND QUICKLY. IF THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECIDES TO-
INFOWARS- THEIR THEIR RULES AND
I DON'T THINK IT'S OUT OF THE
REALM OF POSSIBILITY SO I JUST
WOULD ASK THAT THE CHAIR IN THE
AUTHOR AND OTHERS- WORK ON ON ON
REALLY TRYING TO TIGHTEN UP AND
ENSURE FOR BETTER ENFORCEMENT
BECAUSE I DO THINK THERE'S- I
THINK I THINK THIS IS THIS JUST
CAN DOUBLE DOWN ON THE RISK THAT
WERE ALREADY TAKING AT THE
STATE. THANK YOU SENATOR ALAN
AND ALL JUST CONCLUDE WITH
SAYING- YOU KNOW THE THIS IS
BEEN A LONG DEBATED BETWEEN BOTH
SIDES MIGHT- COMMITTEE
CONSULTANT AND OUR TEAM HAD
WORKED WITH THE AUTHORED BOTH
SIDES TO ENSURE THAT THERE WAS.
SOMETHING THAT WE CAN MOVE
FORWARD WITHOUT WAS EMPTY AND-
AMENABLE TO BOTH SIDES OF IN THE
TIME BEING KNOWING THAT WE WOULD
STILL NEGOTIATE FORWARD- SO
AGAIN I. RESERVE THE RIGHT TO
BRING THIS BACK IF THERE'S
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AND WE CAN
CONTINUE TO DEBATE. IF THERE'S
CHANGES THAT. ARE AMENABLE
MOVING FORWARD OUT OF THIS
COMMITTEE- BUT YOU BRING GOOD
POINTS OF I THINK EVERYBODY'S
ABOUT GREAT COMMENTS AND GREAT
POINTS UP AND SO I THINK- AT
THIS TIME I KNOW AND I HAVE
TRUST THAT THE AUTHORS WILL WORK
WITH BOTH SIDES TO CONTINUE THE
DISCUSSION MOVING FORWARD. AND I
PERSONALLY HEARD FROM MY LOCAL-
YOU KNOW SMALLER BILLBOARD-
FOLKS BACK AT HOME AND I'M YOU
KNOW VERY. CONSCIOUS OF WHAT
THEY'RE- ISSUES ARE AND I WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ADDRESS
THOSE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. WITH
THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER
MIKES UP WE DO HAVE A MOTION BY
SENATOR ARCH META. IS THAT
CORRECT- IF I MADE ONE MORE JUST
JUST TO CLARIFY. BECAUSE I
STARTED OFF ABOUT A KNOWLEDGE IN
THE FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
AND THE COMPLIANCE WITHIN- ARE
WE ASKING THAT OR- PROBABLY
INDICATING THAT BILLBOARDS IT
WILL BE CONSTRUCTED WILL EXCEED.
THE. AND IF THEY'RE NOT CAUGHT.
THEN IT WILL CONTINUE OR'S THIS
INDICATING THAT ANY BILLBOARDS
THAT ARE CONSTRUCTED WILL
MAINTAIN THE SIZE THAT'S WITHIN
CALIFORNIA STANDARDS. WE ARE WE
TRYING TO MAKE AN EXEMPTION ON
THEIR SITES AS WELL. I DON'T
KNOW WHAT WITH REGARDS TO THE
SIZE RIGHT NOTE THE ISSUE HERE
IS ABOUT CONTINUING THE
EXEMPTION WITH THE CONDITIONS
THAT THEY HAVE- AND- YOU KNOW
EXPAND THE NET TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY COULD HAVE THE SIGNS WITHIN
THE THOUSAND FEET WHICH IS WHAT
YOU YOU TALKED ABOUT AND ADDING
LANGUAGE WHICH MAKES UP A GIVES
CALTRANS MUCH MORE POWER AND
MUCH MORE STRENGTH. TO ENFORCE
ANY SIGN OR OPPOSE ANY SIGN OR
TAKE DOWN ANY SIGN THAT COULD
THREATEN OUR FEDERAL FUNDING SO
THAT'S THOSE WITH THE AMENDMENTS
THAT WE ADDED TO THE EXEMPTION
THAT ALREADY EXIST. AND YOUR- A
BID MARKET GOES BACK TO MY
QUESTION SO IF THEY CONSTRUCTED
SIGN THAT EXCEEDS THE REQUIRED.
LIMITATIONS THAT'S GONNA BE OKAY
NO BY DID- THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT DOESN'T. TAKE IT DOWN
WELL AGAIN THERE ARE LOCALLY
SHOULD EVEN BE CONSTRUCTED RIGHT
SEEDING THE LIMITATIONS WHATEVER
THE LOCAL RULES ARE THAT'S THE
FIRST THING THEY HAVE TO HAVE
APPROVAL FROM THE LOCAL RULES
BECAUSE THERE ARE LOCAL RULES
LIKE IT'S NOT JUST FEDERAL RULES
ARE LOCAL RULES THAT THEY ABIDE
BY. THERE'S A STATE AND AS THE
FEDERAL SO THE STATE WE'RE
SAYING IS GOING TO HAVE MUCH
MORE POWER TO ENFORCE ESPECIALLY
THE CONCERN RAISED BY MY
COLLEAGUES HERE AT OTHERS
ESPECIALLY THE CONCERN ABOUT THE
THREAT TO LOSING FEDERAL HIGHWAY
FUNDS SO ANYTHING THAT THREATENS
THAT BUT IT'S NOT JUST THE
ORDINANCES THAT THEY HAVE TO
RESPECT. I AGAIN I'VE GOT IT.
SENATE ARCHULETA IF WE CAN YEAH
I KNOW I WHEN I WENT OUT THERE
ARE YOU GOING OF FIVE A LOT OF
CONVERSE. YET TO TAKE PLACE
THANK YOU MANAGER THANK YOU SAID
ARCHULETA AND WE HAVE ONE LAST
QUESTION I'M I'M- AND I'M SO
SORRY MADAM CHAIR AT YOU KNOW-
MY COLLEAGUE REOPEN THE
DISCUSSION BUT I DO WANT TO ASK
YOU DIRECTLY- SENATOR. I'M DON'T
YOU THINK THAT THE THAT THE
FOLKS WHO WERE BENEFITING FROM
THIS BILL. I TO FIGURE OUT DO WE
HAVE TO FIGURE OUT SOME
COMPENSATION SCHEME FOR THE
STATE. TO FOR THAT FOR THE RISK
THAT WE'RE TAKING ON. BY
ALLOWING FOR THE SYSTEM TO
CONTINUE AND GROW. SOME SORT OF
TAX OR ROYALTY. AT AT AT THIS
POINT YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT THAT
WASN'T THE POINT OF THIS BILL SO
I'M NOT PREPARED TO ANSWER THAT
QUESTION BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT
WE ASK THAT OF ANY INDUSTRY IS
THAT IF THERE IS A POTENTIAL
THREAT OR POTENTIAL VIOLATION IT
IS NOT FREQUENT THAT WE PASS.
LAWS EXECUTIVE BASICALLY
DOUBLING DOWN ON FEDERAL LAW
VIOLATIONS. WELL WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT I DON'T AGREE THAT WE'RE
DOUBLING DOWN ON FEDERAL LAW
VIOLATIONS WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR
IS- THERE WILL BE MORE
BILLBOARDS THAT ARE PUT UP IN
THESE ARENAS. THAT IS NOT EQUAL
TO DOUBLING DOWN ON A FEDERAL-
VIOLATIONS I DON'T I DON'T SEE
THE CONNECTION THERE'S NOT A
CORRECT. A CLEAR CONNECTION
THERE JUST BECAUSE MORE
BILLBOARDS ARE GOING THIS IS A
VIOLATION OF THE LADY BIRD
JOHNSON ACT I MEAN THAT THE WHAT
IS THIS THIS THIS THIS ACTIVITY.
THIS YEAR THE THIS OF THIS TYPE
OF APPROVAL OF SCIENCE. ON OUR
HIGHWAYS. CENTER ALLEN ARE YOU
ARE YOU FINISHED WITH YOUR LINE
OF QUESTIONING IS YOU'RE ASKING
THE SAME QUESTIONS WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE DO GET IT
ADDRESS BUT THAT WE ARE VERY
CLEAR IN WHAT THE BILL STATES.
IT DOESN'T DISCUSS ANY
COMPENSATION WHICH MAY BE A GOOD
IDEA BUT WE WELL OKAY THEN I
GUESS I WOULD JUST LIKE TO BE
CONSIDERED AS THE BILL MOVES
FORWARD BECAUSE I DO THINK- I
THINK WE'RE TAKING ON A RISK
HERE I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'VE
NEVER BEEN THREATENED- WITH WITH
THE WITHHOLDING OF FEDERAL FUNDS
BUT WE KNOW THAT THIS IS A RISK.
AND I THINK THAT NEEDS TO BE
BAKED INTO OUR WORK IN THIS
SPACE AS WE MOVE FORWARD. OKAY
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SENATORS I
APPRECIATE THE DEBATE ONCE
AGAIN- WE HAVE A MOTION BY
SENATOR ARCHER LET I BELIEVE.

EIGHT. AS A LICENSED
PROFESSIONAL CIVIL ENGINEER AND
AS A FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE

CREDIT UNION. I REALIZE HOW
CRITICAL IT WAS TO ALLOW
COMPLETE ACCESS TO EVERY EMAIL

FEDERAL AUDITORS. AND CITY
AUDITORS TO DO THE SAME FOR A
PERFORMANCE AUDIT OF THE STREET
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM I MANAGED.
PART OF NEVER EXPERIENCED
ARTISTS WHERE THEY HAVE TO ALLOW

TRANSPARENCY AND OVERSIGHT AND
WANTS TO KNOW HOW BURKE SPEND
OUR TAX DOLLARS. THE BEST WAY TO
IMPROVE THE PUBLIC'S TRUST AND

INDIGENOUS MIGRANT POPULATIONS
FACE UNIQUE CHALLENGES INCLUDING
BARRIERS LANGUAGE BARRIERS AS
THEY OFTEN ONLY SPEAK THEIR
NATIVE PRECOLONIAL LANGUAGES.
THEY HAVE DEEP ROOTED CULTURAL
PRACTICES AND BELIEVES. THAT
OFTEN CREATE BARRIERS AND

ESTABLISHED LATINO POPULATIONS.
OVER 50% OF FARMWORKERS IN
CALIFORNIA ARE OF INDIGENOUS
MIGRANT THE SENATE. AND MANY
INDIGENOUS FAMILIES EARN MEAGER

MULTIBILLION DOLLAR AGRICULTURAL
INDUSTRY. FURTHERMORE LANGUAGE
BARRIERS PREVENT ACCESS TO
AVAILABLE BASIC HEALTH AND
SOCIAL SUPPORT SERVICES
INCLUDING THE SERVICES THAT THE
CALIFORNIA DMV. GIVEN THE MYRIAD
OF LANGUAGES SPOKEN BY
CALIFORNIANS. THE DMV SERVICES
MUST BE HIGHLY TARGETED AND
FLEXIBLE TO MEET THE LANGUAGE
DIVERSITY NEEDS OF ALL
CALIFORNIANS LIKE TWICE DMV
SERVICES WERE ORIGINALLY NOT
DESIGNED FOR CALIFORNIA'S
INDIGENOUS POPULATION MANY
INDIGENOUS PEOPLE MIGRATE FROM
COUNTY TO COUNTY ACROSS THE

YOU I KNOW WE'RE ALMOST DONE A
MANAGER SO THANK YOU SO MUCH-
MEMBERS AT CALIFORNIA'S
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AS WE KNOW
WHICH INCLUDES ROADS HIGHWAYS
TRANSIT AND BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN
FACILITIES IS SUCH AN ESSENTIAL
PART OF OUR ECONOMIC AND
SOCIETAL INFRASTRUCTURE YET
DESPITE THAT IMPORTANCE WE LACK
A COMPREHENSIVE PICTURE OF OUR
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING NEEDS FOR
BOTH STATE AND LOCAL FACILITIES
AND HOW THOSE WILL BE MET. SB
ELEVEN TWENTY ONE ADDRESSES THIS
LACK OF INFORMATION BY REQUIRING
THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION TO DO THREE THINGS
FIRST AND FOR MOST IMPORTANTLY
THE BILL REQUIRES THE CTT CTC TO
DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE
ASSESSMENT OF HOW MUCH FUNDING
WE WILL NEED TO MAINTAIN AND
CONSTRUCT INFRASTRUCTURE SECOND
THE BILL REQUIRES THE CTC TO
ESTIMATE HOW MUCH FUNDING WE
EXPECT TO HAPPEN FEDERAL STATE
AND LOCAL SOURCES WHAT CAN WE
REALISTICALLY EXPECT THIRD IF
THERE'S A SHORTFALL THE CTC
SHALL RECOMMEND HOW TO ADDRESS
IT. AND IN TURN HELP CANCERS
SUCH A SOME IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
AS WELL DO WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE
OR SPEND LESS ARE THERE
EFFICIENCIES WE CAN DEPLOY SO
THAT WE CAN DO MORE WITH
EXISTING RESOURCES OR DO WE NEED
MORE RESOURCES OVERALL WITH THIS
INFORMATION POLICYMAKERS LIKE
OURSELVES STAKEHOLDERS AND
ADVOCATES CAN DO A BETTER JOB OF
PLANNING FOR FUTURE TO CREATE
THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM THAT
MEETS OUR NEEDS AND OUR
RESOURCES TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT
OF THIS MEASURE TODAY I HAVE
MARC WATTS WITH TRANSPORTATION.
CALIFORNIA WHO SHOULD BE HERE IN
THE GALLERY. AND THERE ARE TWO
PRIMARY WITNESSES I BELIEVE BOTH
HERE IN THE CHAMBERS- MISTER
WALKS. AND CHRIS LEAK CALIFORNIA
STATE ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES.
GOOD MORNING CHAIRMAN BURST
CHRISLEY ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE ASSOCIATION OF
COUNTIES HERE THIS MORNING IN
SUPPORT I REALLY APPRECIATE THE
GOALS OF THIS BILL WE THINK THIS
IS AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
EXERCISE FOR THE STATE TO DO.
IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN DOING
EVERY TWO YEARS AT THE CITY
COUNTY AND REGIONAL
TRANSPORTATION LEVEL LOOKING AT
THE LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS
NEEDS ASSESSMENT ACROSS THE
STATE. AND WE THINK NEEDS
ASSESSMENTS IN GENERAL ARE A
GREAT WAY TO HELP DEFINE GOALS
REALLY PUT A FIRM NUMBER AROUND
WHAT THINGS COST BUT ALSO TO
HELP ILLUSTRATE THE TRADEOFFS
THAT WE FACE SO FOR INSTANCE AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL WE HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT TRADE OFF BETWEEN
MAINTAINING OUR EXISTING SYSTEM.
AND MEETING THE CHALLENGES OF
TRANSFORMING IT TO BETTER MEET
TODAY'S TRANSPORTATION GOAL SO
WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
HOW DO WE PROVIDE ACTIVE
TRANSPORTATION SAFE ACCESS FOR
BICYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS AND
BALANCE THAT WITH THE NEEDS FOR
SYSTEM PRESERVATION. AND WE ALSO
THINK THAT SIMPLY BY MEASURING
IN ASKING THESE QUESTIONS WE CAN
HELP DRIVE POLICY CHANGES JUST A
FEW EXAMPLES OF OUR MOST RECENT
LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS NEEDS
ASSESSMENT. 88% OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ARE NOW USING A
PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TO
MAKE SURE THEY'RE REALLY
EFFICIENTLY APPLYING THEIR
MAINTENANCE TECHNIQUES THAT'S
REPRESENTING OVER 98% OF THE
LOCAL LANE MILES WE SEEM HUGE
GROWTH IN THE NUMBER OF
JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE DOING
COMPREHENSIVE COMPLETE STREETS
POLICIES. TWO HUNDRED TWENTY
EIGHT IN OUR TWENTY TWENTY
SURVEY WHICH IS THREE TIMES AS
MANY AS WE'RE DOING THAT WE
STARTED DOING THE SURVEY SURVEY
IN TWO THOUSAND EIGHT. AND
FINALLY AGAIN IN OUR TWENTY
TWENTY SURVEY WE SAW THAT 76% OF
LOCAL AGENCIES ARE STARTING TO
USE SUSTAINABLE PAVING PRACTICES
LIKE RECYCLING AND THINGS OF
THAT NATURE AND SO INSTANCE JUST
SAID OF JUST MEASURING KIND OF
THE CONDITIONS IN THE FUNDING
NEEDS. IT REALLY FOCUSES
ATTENTION ON TRADE OFFS ON
POLICY IMPROVEMENTS AND OTHER
CREATIVE APPROACHES THAT WE KNOW
WE NEED TO TAKE TO REALLY
ADEQUATELY MAINTAIN OUR SYSTEM
AND IMPROVE IT FOR TODAY'S
TRANSPORTATION NEEDS AND WE
THINK THIS BILL IS A GREAT STEP.
TO GET THE STATE MOVING IN THAT
DIRECTION IN A COMPREHENSIVE WAY
AND FOR THOSE REASONS WE SUPPORT
. THANK YOU THANK YOU MISTER

THANK YOU CHAIR GONZALEZ I'M
SORRY.
THANK YOU DEAR GONZALEZ THANK
YOU TO YOUR STAFF HAVE BEEN
WORKING CLOSELY WITH US ON THIS
BILL. I'M HERE TO PRESENT SB
ELEVEN SIXTY ONE WHICH WOULD
REQUIRE THE TEN LARGEST PUBLIC
TRANSIT OPERATORS CALIFORNIA. TO
CONDUCT RESEARCH ON HARASSMENT
EXPERIENCED BY WRITERS AND USE
THAT DATA TO DEVELOP AND
IMPLEMENT POLICIES TO PRIORITIZE
RATE RIDER SAFETY COMFORT AND
DIGNITY. UNFORTUNATELY TOO MANY
OF US ARE FAMILIAR WITH SAFETY
CHALLENGES WHEN USING PUBLIC
TRANSIT. MANY OF US HAVE HAD TO
OR NO ONE ELSE SOMEONE ELSE
WHO'S HAD TO CHANGE A TRANSIT
ROUTE TO AVOID HARASSMENT. THE
DATA SHOWS THAT HARASSMENT ON
PUBLIC TRANSIT UNFORTUNATELY
DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACTS WOMEN.
LGBTQ PUS RIDERS MINORITIES AND
OTHER VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES
ACCORDING TO TWO THOUSAND
NINETEEN STATEWIDE STUDY BY THE
UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA SAN DIEGO
CENTER ON GENDER EQUITY AND
HEALTH. 77% OF WOMEN HAD
EXPERIENCED SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN
A PUBLIC SPACE INCLUDING 29% IN
MASS TRANSIT. THIS IS EVEN MORE
COMMON WITH WOMEN HO IDENTIFY.
AS LESBIAN OR BISEXUAL. AND AS
WE SEEM THE CALL NINETY PENDING
. HARASSMENT AGAINST A AMERICANS
IN HIS ISLANDERS ON A SHARP
INCREASE. SINCE MARCH TWENTY
TWENTY THE STOP ÁP I HATE
COALITION HAS RECEIVED OVER TEN
THOUSAND REPORTS OF HATE
INCIDENTS AGAINST ASIAN
AMERICANS AND PACIFIC ISLANDERS
FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND
ALMOST 50% OF THOSE INCIDENTS
TOOK PLACE AT PUBLIC VENUES
INCLUDING STREETS IN PARKS AND
ON TRANSIT. IN ADDITION API'S
BLACK WOMEN LATINO WOMEN WOMEN
OF COLOR PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES THE L. G. B. Q. AND
T. G. I. COMMUNITIES IN YOUNG
AND ELDERLY ALSO EXPERIENCE.
DISPROPORTIONATE SHARES OF
STREET HARASSMENT ON TRANSIT.
THIS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS
AND ONE WE HAVE TO ADDRESS NOW
AND SB ELEVEN SIXTY ONE WOULD
TAKE A SIGNIFICANT STEP TOWARD
STOPPING THAT CYCLE HARASSMENT.
BY AGAIN REQUIRING THE STATE'S
TEN LARGEST TRANSIT OPERATORS TO
COLLECT RIDERSHIP DATA AND TO
DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT POLICIES
TO SUPPORT SAFE TRANSIT
EXPERIENCES. WITH ME HERE TO
TESTIFY IN PERSON I HAVE SENT
THE CHECK FROM STOP ÁP I HATE.

FOUR THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED PORTS
IN CALIFORNIA ALONE. A MAJORITY
OF THESE INCIDENTS WERE REPORTED
BY API WOMEN AND THE VAST
MAJORITY WERE HONDA THAT IS NOT
A CRIME SUCH AS BARBARA SMITH.
ABOUT THE SINCE OCCURRED IN
PUBLIC SPACES SUCH AS SIDEWALKS
PARKS AND TRANSIT. WE KNOW THAT
HARASSMENT ON TRANSIT DOES NOT

AFFECTS BLACK AND LATINO WOMEN
AND GIRLS AS WELL AS THE L.
COMMUNITY. TO GIVE YOU I. OF

STORIES OF- IN THEIR OWN WORDS
AND I APOLOGIZE THERE ARE.
