REGIONAL HOUSING TRUST MODELED
AFTER THE SUCCESSFUL THANK YOUR
VALLEY REGIONAL HOUSING TRUST.

IN FEBRUARY OF TWENTY TWENTY.
THE CENTER ABOUT REGIONAL
HOUSING TRUST IS A JOINT POWERS
AUTHORITY WHICH FUNDS AND
FINANCES. THE PLANNING AND

ABOUT HOUSING TRUST IS GOVERNED
BY A NINE MEMBER BOARD OF
DIRECTORS SEVEN OF WHICH ARE
LOCALLY ELECTED PUBLIC OFFICIALS

YEARS THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY
REGIONAL HOUSING TRUST HAS

SUPPORTING SENIORS FAMILIES AND
SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATIONS. THE
TRUST ALSO FUNDED THE
DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF A
HUNDRED AND FIVE BEDS OF INTERIM
HOUSING FOR INDIVIDUALS AND
FAMILIES EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS. PROVIDING
IMMEDIATE RESPITE AND CONNECTION
TO SERVICES FOR THE MOST
VULNERABLE CONSTITUENTS OF THE
SAN GABRIEL VALLEY. THE CREATION
OF A HOUSING TRUST ENABLED THE
SAN GABRIEL VALLEY CITIES TO
ACCESS FUNDING WHICH CAN ONLY BE
ACCESSED BY HOUSING TRUSTS AND
THAT THEY COULD NOT. ACCESS
INDIVIDUALLY WHICH INCLUDES A
LOCAL HOUSING TRUST FUND PROGRAM
A ONE FOR ONE MATCHING SOURCE
WHICH EFFECTIVELY DOUBLES THE
INVESTMENT OF HOUSING TRUSTS IN
ABOUT AN ELIGIBLE AFFORDABLE

THE PAST THREE YEARS PROVIDING.

REGIONAL HOUSING TRUST DEVELOPED
A REVOLVING LOAN FUND TO SUPPORT
ACQUISITION PRE DEVELOPMENT AND
CONSTRUCTION OF AFFORDABLE

EXPENSIVE AND IT INELIGIBLE USE
FOR OTHER FUNDING SOURCES. THIS
PROGRAM PROVIDES SHORT TERM
THREE TO FIVE YEAR LOANS WITH
BELOW MARKET RATE. WITH BELOW

ALLOWED THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY
ORIGINAL HOUSE INTEREST TO

DOLLARS OF ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT
I'M IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
DOLLARS. THE TRUST PROVIDES

THE TRUST BOARD AUTHORIZED THE
CREATION OF A LAND TRUST TO

MAINTAIN AFFORDABILITY IN
PERPETUITY. TOGETHER THESE
PROGRAMS ENABLE THE SAN GABRIEL
VALLEY REGIONAL HOUSING TRUST TO

SLIGHT DELAY I'M SURE THAT THE-
AUTHOR HERE IS ALSO EXPERIENCING
THAT. THEY DO THAT SO THEY CAN

MORNING MY NAME IS BRIAN WONG
I'M THE CEO OF SAN GABRIEL
VALLEY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. OUR
SERVICE AREAS ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED
SQUARE MILES AND COVERS ABOUT
TWO MILLION PEOPLE- WE ADDRESS
THE HOUSING CRISIS BY PROVIDING
AFFORDABLE HOMEOWNERSHIP. AND
HOME PRESERVATION REPAIRS TO LOW
INCOME FAMILIES. THE MEDIAN HOME
PRICE IN L. A. COUNTY LAST YEAR
WAS ABOUT EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS. FOR MORTGAGE
TO SUPPORT THIS HOMEOWNER TAKEN
ANNUAL SALARY OF ABOUT HUNDRED
NINETY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.
ALONG WITH THE 20% DOWN PAYMENT
. UNFORTUNATELY THE MEDIAN
INCOME IN THE AREA'S ONLY ABOUT
EIGHTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. SO
YOU CAN SEE WHERE THIS PROBLEM
COMES IN. HOMEOWNERSHIP PROVIDES
MANY BENEFITS IT'S WELL
DOCUMENTED THAT CHILDREN OF
HOMEOWNERS ARE 11% MORE LIKELY
TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL THE
CHILDREN FROM RENTERS OF THE
SAME INCOME. ADDITIONALLY
HOMEOWNERS HAVE A 4100% HIGHER
NET WEALTH THAN RENTERS WITH
SIMILAR DEMOGRAPHICS AND
EARNINGS. OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH
THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY HOUSING
TRUST IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE
SOLUTION THE TRUST HAS PROVIDED
FUNDING TO HELP US BUILD THIRTY
TWO. NEW HOMES L. PERFECT THAT
WILL PROVIDE FIRST TIME
HOMEOWNERSHIP TO LOW INCOME
FAMILIES. THERE'S ONLY ONE STATE
PROGRAM CURRENTLY THE PROVIDES
FUNDS FOR LOW INCOME HOUSING
CONSTRUCTION- CAL HOME IN ITS
CURRENTLY OVERSUBSCRIBED BY
ABOUT A 100% THE PRE DEVELOPMENT
FINANCING THAT THE TRUST
PROVIDES CRITICAL. THE
FLEXIBILITY ON RATES IN TERMS
CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE ON HAVING
A PROJECT PENCIL OR NOT. WE HAVE
PARTNERED WITH THE TRUST TO HELP
THEM CONSTRUCT TWO TINY HOME
VILLAGES. DESIGNATED FOR ABOUT
SEVENTY THREE PEOPLE AND WE ARE
ABOUT TO LAUNCH NAY DO YOU
PROGRAM FOCUSING ON LOW INCOME
FAMILIES AS WELL- THIS

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND
CURRENTLY NONE FURTHER AND HOLD
. THANK YOU AND THAT CONCLUDES
OUR TESTIMONY BRING IT BACK TO
THAT COMMITTEE CENTER BAXTER
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SHARE AND
THANK YOU TO THE OTHER FOR
BRINGING THIS BILL I'M REALLY
EXCITED ABOUT THIS BILL- AND I
WOULD BE HONORED TO BE A CO
AUTHOR IF YOU NEED OR WOULD LIKE
CO AUTHORS- I THIS- THE EXAMPLES
THAT THAT HAVE BEEN GIVEN AND
THE HISTORY OF THE SUCCESS OF
THIS I THINK IS IT IS A
TESTAMENT TO WHY WE NEED TO TAKE
IT STATEWIDE. AND I KNOW COMING
FROM THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO
THAT THERE WAS AN EFFORT LAST
YEAR TO GET LEGISLATION THROUGH
THAT WOULD ALLOW IT IN SAN DIEGO
BUT AS MANY THINGS DO THERE IT
BECAME BOGGED DOWN IN A LOT OF
DIFFERENT CONTROVERSIES ABOUT
WHAT COULD OR SHOULD HAPPEN IN
DIFFERENT WAYS TO ADDRESS THIS
PROBLEM SO HANDLING AT THE STATE
LEVEL AND ALLOWING. THESE TO
FORM THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND
HAVE THAT SAME SUCCESS IS A IS A
REALLY GREAT AND SO I'M JUST
REALLY GRATEFUL. I WANTED TO
ADDRESS THE- THE CONCERN ABOUT
THE REAL LITTERS- FIRST JUST TO
NOTE THAT ONE OF THE AMENDMENTS
IS THAT. THAT NOTHING IN THIS
SECTION PROHIBITS A LOCAL AGENCY
FROM. ASKING FOR AN EXEMPTION IF
IT BELIEVES UNIQUE LOCAL
CIRCUMSTANCES EXIST. LIKE IF FOR
SOME REASON THERE'S ONLY THERE
IS A LOT OF AVAILABLE SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES AND NOT A LOT OF
AVAILABLE MULTI FAMILY. YOU KNOW
SO THERE COULD BE. SOME PART OF
THE STATE WHERE THERE COULD BE A
LOT OF. A REASON THAT THERE
WOULD. BE A NEED FOR THAT
EXEMPTION SO I JUST WANNA POINT
OUT THAT'S THERE. BUT ALSO JUST
ASK THE AUTHOR. IF THIRD COULD
YOU JUST EXPLAIN THE POLICY
REASONS BEHIND- NOT WANTING. TO
INCLUDE THE ONE TO FOUR UNITS.
WE HAVEN'T GOT YET SO I DO
UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS OF THE
REALTORS I WILL HAVE TO SAY THIS
HAVE FOR TRYING TO. YOU KNOW
CREATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING WE
DON'T WANT TO BE TAKING. HOUSING
OFF THE MARKET SO THE GOAL IS TO
CREATE MORE HOUSING SO WE'RE NOT
THERE YET IN OUR DISCUSSIONS AND
I REALLY SAID THAT I WOULD
COMMIT TO. GETTING THERE WITH
THEM AS WE'RE MOVING THROUGH THE
PROCESS WE JUST RAN OUT OF TIME.
BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE-
WE ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS.
SINNERS HERE TO. BOTH THANK YOU
SENATOR RUBIO FOR- A GOOD BILL-
WE'VE BEEN PIECE MEALING. THESE
THESE. AND THEY ARE. I THINK
BEST DESCRIBED. AS IS
OPPORTUNITIES. FOR CITIES AND
REGIONS TO WORK TOGETHER ON
MANDATED HOUSING FROM YOU KNOW
FROM FROM STATE POLICY. AND IT'S
A LOT EASIER FOR OUR COMMUNITIES
TO WORK TOGETHER- TO ACHIEVE
THESE. YEAH THE GOALS THAT ARE
MANDATED ON EACH ONE OF THEM-
THROUGH- DIFFERENT TOOLS AND
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TOOLS- TO
THAT. I THINK. FOR ON THE
REALTORS CONCERNS- YEAH. WHAT
WENT IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE
GOING TO FORM. A A JPA IT
DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE GOING TO
HAVE A HOUSING TRUST RIGHT NOW
THE DID WE HAVE THE BILL THAT
ENABLES THEM TO DO IT. IN
RIVERSIDE BUT THEY HAVE NOT YET
DONE THAT- WHETHER THEY CHOOSE
TO DO THAT IS A LOCAL CONTROL
DECISION- BETWEEN THE
COMMUNITIES AND THAT AND THERE
ARE SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT
HAVE FEARS OF GPAS THAT THEY'RE
ON UNACCOUNTABLE BODIES AND THEY
ARE ABSOLUTELY COUNTABLE BECAUSE
THEY'RE MADE UP OF
REPRESENTATIVES. THAT ARE
ELECTED FROM EACH COMMUNITY AND
THIS IS NO DIFFERENT YEAH- SO- I
THINK IT DOING THE BLANK IT.
ENABLING THESE REGIONS TO DO
THOSE THOSE THAT TRUST IS
PROBABLY THE RIGHT WAY TO GO-
THERE'S NOTHING THAT RESTRICTS-
THOSE GPAS FROM FORMING THE
RULES THAT THEY NEED AND THE
OPPORTUNITIES THAT THAT THEY
NEED FOR THEIR REGIONS. BECAUSE
EACH REGION IS DIFFERENT WE'VE
BEEN TRYING TO PREACH THAT A LOT
IS. YOU KNOW WITH THE ONE SIZE
FITS ALL DOESN'T- AND THEREFORE
MORE LOCAL CONTROL THIS DOESN'T
IMPEDE THAT LOCAL CONTROL I
THINK IT ACTUALLY HELPS IT. IT
IS THAT YOU'RE KIND OF INTER
INTO YOUR- EFFORT IS KIND OF
GEARED TOWARDS DOING THAT YES
AND I WANTED TO SHARE THAT YOU
KNOW A SPEND NOT COME THIRTEEN
YEARS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT AS A
COUNCIL MEMBER AND THAT'S- WHERE
THIS IDEA. STARTED IN MY HEAD
JUST THE FACT THAT AS A SINGLE
CITY IT IS STILL DIFFICULT TO
GET PROJECTS MOVING. I ALWAYS
KNEW THAT. WE WERE BETTER
TOGETHER A FEW BAD TOGETHER
SEVERAL CITIES AND- SO YES I
VERY MUCH WANTED TO MAKE A
FLEXIBLE WE'RE WE STILL GIVE AYE
LOCAL CONTROL WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THERE'S- FLEXIBILITY
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S
NOT A MANDATE. BUT CERTAINLY
IT'S THERE FOR THOSE THAT WANT
IT AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO TAKE
IT IF THEY DON'T WANT IT BUT- I
REALLY THINK THAT WE HAVE A
MODEL HERE THAT WORKS IT'S
PROVEN TO BE REALLY EFFECTIVE.
ARE WE CONTINUE TO BUILD HOUSING
AND THAT'S YOU KNOW WE'RE TRYING
TO DO MEET OUR HOUSING NEEDS AND
SO HOPEFULLY LOCAL
MUNICIPALITIES CAN SEE THIS. AS
AN OPTION AND NOT A MANDATE BUT
REALLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT
BECAUSE WE'RE DOING SOME GREAT
THINGS IN THE SANGRO. VALLEY
THANK YOU. THANKS TO. SENATOR
BLITZER. SARJA IS OUR FIRST BILL
I KNOW I DON'T I WON'T SPEAK ON
EVERYBODY AND THERE'S NO I.
THERE'S NO COST. MEAN THERE'S-
VERY. POSITION I JUST TO SAY
THAT ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS
ABOUT THIS TYPE OF JPA IS THAT
YOU CAN ACCESS STATE MONEY. SO
IT ALLOWS FOR THIS ONE TO ONE
MATCH THAT WAS DESCRIBED AND
THAT'S THAT IT RIGHT NOW IS
CURRENTLY. NOT AVAILABLE TO
CITIES AND THAT DON'T HAVE THE
JPSO BUT I ALSO JUST WANT TO. BE
ON THE RECORD AS SAYING. I THINK
THERE IS A POLICY ISSUE AROUND
WHETHER YOU WOULD ALLOW CITIES
AND COUNTIES TO FORM. HOUSING
JPA THAT COULD. COULD GO GET
MATCHING MONEY AND THEN WOULD
BECOME DEVELOPERS. A DEVELOPER
THAT BUILDS SINGLE FAMILY SPRAWL
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. SO I AM I.
POLICY WISE I THINK THAT'S A
CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE
POTENTIALLY ADDRESSED WHEN
YOU'RE DEALING WITH THIS
DISCUSSION WITH THE REAL
LETTERS. BECAUSE WHILE WE DO
WANT TO CREATE MORE SUPPLY WE
DON'T WANT TO CREATE MORE SPRAWL
FOR CLIMATE REASONS AND ALL
SORTS OF EVERY OTHER REASON.
WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT IT
EXTENSIVELY UP HERE SO JUST YOU
KNOW BE A I JUST WANT TO STATE.
THAT THAT AFTER WORKING OUT WITH
THE REALTORS IT IS REALLY AND
THAT WE'RE NOT. JUST ALLOW CARTE
BLANC IT FOR THAT TYPE OF
DEVELOPMENT. THANK IF THERE ARE
NO FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS
BILL. WILL ALLOW YOU TO CLOSE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK HER AN AYE VOTE

THANKING THE COMMITTEE FOR
WORKING WITH MY STAFF ON THIS
BILL. SENATE BILL SEVEN TWENTY
SIX SEEKS TO PROVIDE AN
ADDITIONAL HELPING HAND TO
VETERAN HOMEOWNERS WHO HAVE A
100% DISABILITY RATING. AND I
MIGHT ADD THAT IS A VERY
DIFFICULT READY TO OBTAIN BY A
WOUNDED VETERAN VETERAN WHO HAS
LOST HIS ARMS LIMBS GOD KNOWS
WHAT HE'S HAD BUT TO RECEIVE
THAT 100% RATING THAT'S VERY
RARE. BUT THIS BILL DOES SEEK TO
HAVE THE 100% DISABILITY RATING
AND THOSE HOMEOWNERS VETERANS
LIKE ALL CALIFORNIANS ARE
STRUGGLING WITH THE HIGH COST OF
HOUSING. HOUSING AFFORDABILITY
REMAINS SIGNIFICANT CONCERN FOR
VETERANS WITH NEARLY 35% OF
VETERANS PAIN MORE THAN 30% OF
THEIR INCOME FOR HOUSING NINE
OUT OF TEN CALIFORNIANS CONSIDER
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY A PROBLEM.
IT NEARLY ONE IN THREE
CALIFORNIANS CONSIDERED LEAVING
THE STATE BECAUSE OF IT
ACCORDING TO THE TWENTY TWENTY
ONE SURVEY BY THE PUBLIC POLICY
INSTITUTE OF CALIFORNIA. WITH
MANY VETERANS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME
AND MEDIAN PRICED HOMES IN
CALIFORNIA EXCEEDING SEVEN
HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
CALIFORNIA MUST DO MORE TO
ENSURE VETERANS CAN AFFORD TO
LIVE IN THIS GREAT STATE. WHILE
STRIVING TO END VETERANS
HOMELESSNESS. SENATE BILL SEVEN
TWENTY SIX EXPAND THE DISABILITY
VETERANS EXEMPTION TO ALLOW A
FULL PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION
4100% DISABLED VETERANS. THERE
ARE SEVERAL STATES THAT WAY
PROPERTY TAXES ALTOGETHER. FOR
THE 100% DISABLED VETERANS
INCLUDING FLORIDA TEXAS VIRGINIA
AND NEW MEXICO AND HAWAII. THIS
DISABLED VETERANS EXEMPTION
HONORS AND THEIR BRAVERY AND
COMMITMENT TO OUR NATION WHILE
ALSO ASSISTING OUR DISABLED
VETERANS. WHO ARE STRUGGLING
EACH AND EVERY DAY WITH THE HIGH
COST OF LIVING HERE IN
CALIFORNIA HAS SO MANY. AS WE
LOOK TO THE FUTURE WE MUST
CONTINUE TO ENSURE THAT WE
UTILIZE EVERY TOOL AT OUR
DISCRETION TO HELP KEEP OUR
VETERANS. IN THEIR HOMES AND
HERE IN CALIFORNIA. WITH ME
TODAY TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF
THE BILL IS RETIRED ARMY VETERAN

PERSONALLY BENEFIT FROM THIS

PARKINSON'S DISEASE AND AS A
RESULT WE SOLD OUR HOME IN THE

DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO TO BE CLOSER

TRANSIT AND SIDEWALKS. WHERE WE
CAN ACTUALLY YEARS USE HER
WHEELCHAIR AND MOBILITY SCOOTER
. HOWEVER FOR SEVERAL REASONS WE
WERE UNABLE TO BUY ANOTHER HOME
WITHIN THREE YEARS. SO WE LOST
THE ABILITY TO TRANSFER OUR
LOWER PROPERTY TAX BASIS. THIS
LEGISLATION WILL EVEN BE A
BETTER BENEFIT. AS WE DOWNSIZE

IMPORTANT BENEFIT. THANK YOU FOR

COMMITTEE MEMBERS YOU. MOVING ON
TO. ITEM NUMBER EIGHT ON THE
AGENDA. SB SIX FIFTY FOUR BY
SENATOR JONES. WELCOME ONE AND
CHAIR AND MEMBERS THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PRESENT SB SIX FIFTY FOUR- THIS
MORNING- BEFORE I GET STARTED I
WILL. LIKELY NOT BE ACCEPTING
THE SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS ON PAGE
THREE OF THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS
UNDER COMMENT NUMBER FOUR. I
ALSO WANT TO THANK YOUR STAFF
FOR HELPING US OUT WITH THIS
IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR THE ENTIRE
STATE. THERE IS AN AMBIGUITY IN
CURRENT LAW GOVERNING AIRPORT
AND HANGAR LEASES. CURRENT LAW
PROHIBITS A LOCAL AGENCY FROM
OFFERING ELISE AT AN AIRPORT FOR
MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS. THIS IS
IN ORDER TO STAY IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE F. A. A. GUIDANCE
HOWEVER THE LAW WAS INTENDED TO
PREVENT LEASE DURATIONS OF
LONGER THAN FIFTY YEARS. AT A
TIME NOT TOTAL. SOME COUNTIES
INTERPRET A PERIOD NOT TO EXCEED
FIFTY YEARS TO MEAN AT LEAST
DURATION NOT TO EXCEED FIFTY
YEARS WHILE OTHER COUNTIES SUCH
AS SAN DIEGO COUNTY INTERPRET
THE LAW TO MEAN THAT THEY ARE
UNABLE TO EXTEND A LEASE. IF IT
WOULD RESULT IN A TOTAL THESE
DURATION OF LONGER THAN FIFTY
YEARS. THIS THESE POLICY
DISCOURAGES LEASEHOLDERS FOR
MAKING INVESTMENTS INTO
IMPROVING THEIR FACILITIES.
CAPITAL INVESTMENTS IN THESE
FACILITIES OFTEN TAKE DECADES TO
AMORTIZE MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO
RECOUP THOSE INVESTMENTS IN AN
AGING FACILITY WHEN THE
REMAINING LEASE TERM IS COMING
TO AN END. THIS BILL CLARIFIES
THAT THE FIFTY YEAR TERM
RESTRICTION APPLIES FOR THE
DURATION OF THE SPECIFICALLY STE
RATHER THAN THE AGGREGATE NUMBER
OF YEARS THAT THE OCCUPANT HAS
HELD THE LEASE. THIS WILL
ENCOURAGE INVESTMENT AND
IMPROVEMENT IN THESE ARE PURPOSE
ELISE I HAVE TWO WITNESSES HERE
TODAY- THIS MORNING MADAM CHAIR
DARREN MILLER ONE OF MY
CONSTITUENTS WHO BROUGHT THE
BILL IDEA. TO ME AND BYRON FOX
WITH THE TDA INVESTMENT GROUP ON
BEHALF OF THE CONSTRUCTION
LABORS. PENSION TRUST OF
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. VERY GOOD
MY A WELCOME AND- ASK YOU TO
PLEASE STAND UP- TO THE MIKE. MR
MILLER MISTER FOX WHOEVER WANTS
TO GO FIRST. WELCOME THANK YOU.
HI MY NAME IS DARREN MILLER I AM
VICE PRESIDENT OF MITRE AVIATION
CHOLESKY FIELD IN SAN DIEGO
CALIFORNIA. I AM HERE TODAY
SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE
LEASEHOLDERS ON SAN DIEGO COUNTY
AIRPORTS TO SHOW OUR
ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT FOR S. B.
SIX FIVE FOUR. I'M A THIRD
GENERATION LEASEHOLDER ON
GLASPIE FIELDS MY FAMILY HAS
INVESTED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS ON OUR
LEASEHOLD. AND WE HAVE SEEN MANY
OTHER LEASEHOLDERS DO THE SAME
DURING OUR TENURE. ALL OF US
LEASEHOLDERS HAVE MADE THESE
CAPITAL INVESTMENTS WITH THE
UNDERSTANDING THAT WE WOULD BE
ABLE TO EXTEND OUR LEASES AND
MAKE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR LEASEHOLDS
TO MODERNIZE THE AIRPORTS.
HOWEVER DUE TO THE AMBIGUITY OF
CALIFORNIA LAW FIVE OH FOUR
SEVEN EIGHT WRITTEN IN NINETEEN
FIFTY ONE A NEW POLICY WAS
WRITTEN IN TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN
BY THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO THAT
LIMITS LEASE HOLDER TO A
MAXIMUM. OF FIFTY CUMULATIVE
YEARS OF LEASE TERM. THIS NEW
POLICY EFFECTIVELY MOVE THE GOAL
POSTS FOR US LEASEHOLDERS SINCE
THERE WAS NO SUCH POLICY IN
EFFECT WHEN WE ORIGINALLY SIGNED
RELEASES. ALL SAN DIEGO COUNTY
AIRPORT LEASE HOLDERS ARE IN
AGREEMENT THAT HAD WE KNOWN OF
THIS POLICY WHEN WE ORIGINALLY
SIGNED RELEASES WE WOULD HAVE
CHOSEN NOT TO SIGN RELEASES.
UNDER THIS NEW POLICY
LEASEHOLDERS ARE DIS
INCENTIVIZED TO MAKE CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS AND PERFORM
NECESSARY MAINTENANCE AS THEY
NEAR THE END OF THEIR LEASE TERM
. IN FACT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN
ANY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS MADE ON
SAN DIEGO COUNTY AIRPORTS IN THE
LAST SEVEN YEARS. SINCE THE
IMPLEMENTATION IMPLEMENTATION OF
THIS NEW POLICY. FURTHERMORE AS
WE NEAR THE END OF OUR LEASES.
WE NO LONGER HAVE THE OPTION TO
SELL OR LEASE HOLDS IN
IMPROVEMENTS SINCE SAN DIEGO
COUNTY WILL NOT GRANT EXISTING
LEASEHOLDERS. OR THE BUYERS
ADDITIONAL TERM ON OUR LEASES.
UNLESS THIS POLICY HAS CHANGED
LEASEHOLDS IN SAN DIEGO. ON SAN
DIEGO COUNTY AIRPORTS WILL
INEVITABLY FALL INTO A STATE OF
DISREPAIR. AS THEY NEEDED NEAR
THE END OF THEIR LEASES AND IT
IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT ANY NEW
LEASES WILL BE SIGNED OR NEW
DEVELOPMENTS WILL BE BUILT ON
SAN DIEGO COUNTY AIRPORTS. TO BE
CLEAR SB SIX FIVE FOUR DOES NOT
INTRODUCE ANY NEW LEGISLATION.
RATHER IT MERELY SERVES TO
CLARIFY AND REMOVE ANY AMBIGUITY
FROM THE EXISTING NINETEEN FIFTY
ONE LAW. WITH THE PASSAGE OF SB
SIX FIVE FOR LEASE HOLDERS WILL
BE ABLE TO ADD ADDITIONAL TERMS
TO THEIR LEASES. THUS RE OPENING
THE DOOR TO MAJOR NEW CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. THAT WILL
MODERNIZE AIRPORTS IN ALL OF
CALIFORNIA. I AM HERE TODAY TO
REQUEST THAT YOU DO WHAT IS BEST
FOR GENERAL AVIATION. AND
SUPPORT SB SIX FIVE FOUR THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING
HERE TODAY.

CLARIFIES THE GOVERNMENT CODE TO

AT AIRPORTS BECAUSE AIRPORTS
DEPEND ON THEIR ABILITY TO

ALL THE WORK THAT WAS DONE THERE
WAS PROVIDED BY UNION CONTRACTOR
FOR FIGHTING SCORES OF LOCAL
JOBS. THE INFRASTRUCTURE
INVESTMENT HOWEVER AND ANY OTHER
INVESTMENT REQUIRED OF
SUFFICIENT LENGTH OF TIME TO
ADVERTISE THE COST. INDEED WE
WOULD LIKE TO INVEST ADDITIONAL
MONEY HERE. INCLUDING
IMPROVEMENTS THAT MONTH MADE
MITIGATE THE FACILITIES
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT HOWEVER THE
LIKELIHOOD OF THAT INVESTMENT IS
VERY UNLIKELY WITHOUT THE
PASSAGE OF SIX FIFTY FOUR. YOU
KNOW FOR ALL THESE REASONS WE
STRONGLY SUPPORT SIXTY FOUR AND
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

TESTIMONY TODAY. I TO SEE IF
THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE THAT WOULD

THE WAY. THE LANGUAGE SHOULD BE
INTERPRETED LIKE ALL OF THE
OTHER AIRPORTS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE YES THIS IS THIS IS BEEN
ONGOING CONTINUOUS CONVERSATION
FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AND-
THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO FINALLY

AS AMENDED TO THE SENATE FLOOR.
SENATORS CABALLERO HI CABALLERO
I SAY ARE. HI THEY ARE TELL.
LAKE SUPERIOR I. STATE SPINNER I
DAHLE. DALI I WOULD ASK. GLAZER
GLAZER I CAN. WE BUT- WIENER I
SIX IS. THE BILL IS I WILL PUT
IT ON CALL FOR THE ABSA MEMBERS.
SO- I DO NOT SEE SENATOR DIEM SO
MOVE ON TO SENATOR. IF YOU'RE-
YOU'RE PREPARED. BY THE A COUPLE
OF- AT. WHEN HI MY- FOR GOD SAID
. SENATE BY THE AT- S. B. SO
FIFTY ONE BEEN FOR A LATER DATE
SO WHICH ONE. THAT NUMBER NINETY
S. MY APOLOGIES I DID READ THAT
AT THE BEGINNING AND.
SENATOR WIENER THE FOR YEARS.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND FIRST
OF ALL I'M HERE TO PRESENT AS
CHIEF FIVE THIRTY. AND FOR
SELLING OF THANK CHAIR IN THE-
FOR WERE WITH US ON THIS BILL
AND WE'RE HAPPY. TO ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS AS
OUTLINED IN THE ANALYSIS.
BECAUSE THIS. BILL IT HAS TO DO
WITH THE SEVENTY FIVE OR BALLOT
QUESTIONS FOUR FOUR TIERED.
TAXES IN OTHER WORDS TAXES WITH
MULTIPLE LEVELS NOT SIMPLE TAXES
OF ONE LEVEL I AND BONDS. THIS
BILL IS IT A COURSE CORRECTION
IN TWENTY FIFTEEN AND TWENTY
SEVENTEEN THE LEGISLATURE PASSED
TWO BILLS AUTHORED BY OUR FORMER
COLLEAGUE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
OBERNOLTE I WAS HERE FOR THE
SECOND ONE AND I VOTED FOR IT.
ON TO INCREASE TRANSPARENCY- BY
REQUIRING IN FOR FINANCIAL
INFORMATION ABOUT ABOUT THE
COSTS OF BONDS AND TAXES IN THE
SEVENTY FIVE WORD BALLOT
QUESTION- IT'S AN IDEA THAT IN
SOME WAYS MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.
BUT IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF IT-
THERE WERE THERE BEEN
SIGNIFICANT UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES ARE AND SO THIS
BILL DOES NOT. BLANKET REPEAL
THOSE TO LAWS IT SCALES THEM
BACK TO DEAL WITH THE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES AND THE NEED FOR
COURSE CORRECTION TO BE CLEAR
THAT THE PORTION OF THE OF THOSE
BILLS THAT DEAL WITH SIMPLE
TAXES WHEN YOU HAVE A PARCEL TAX
WHERE EVERYONE PAYS A HUNDRED
DOLLARS OR- A SALES TAX. WHICH
IS ALL ONE- ONE AMOUNT- THIS
BILL DOES NOT AFFECT THOSE THOSE
ARE REMAIN IN EFFECT AS PASSED
BY THE LEGISLATURE A FEW YEARS
BACK. ABOUT FOUR TIERED TAXES
AND BONDS- THE BILL DOES SCALE
BACK- VIEW- WHAT MR OBERNOLTE
WAS ABLE TO GET US TO PASS A FEW
YEARS AGO BECAUSE THOSE PREVENT
THOSE ASPECTS OF THESE LAWS ARE
NOT. WORKING AND. PARTICULARLY
FOR TIER TAXES. YOU HAVE TO BE
UNDER MR OBERNOLTE- YOU HAVE TO
PUT IN FOR ABOUT PEOPLE ARE TO
HAVE TO PAY. IN THE SEVENTY FIVE
OR BALLOT QUESTION TO BE CLEAR
THAT WAS UNPRECEDENTED. FOR
HOWEVER MANY YEARS- WE'VE HAD-
BALLOT QUESTIONS FOR TAX AND
BOND MEASURES ARE CITIES AND
COUNTIES AND SCHOOL DOES IS TO
NOT HAVE TO DO THAT. SO THAT WAS
NEW I AM WHAT WE HAVE FOUND
DISCOVERED IS THAT WHEN YOU HAVE
TIERED TAXES YOU SOMETIMES DO
NOT EVEN HAVE ENOUGH WORDS
WITHIN THE SEVENTY FIVE WORDS.
TO BOTH INCLUDE ALL THE
INFORMATION REQUIRED ABOUT EACH
OF THE TEARS AND TO SAY WHAT THE
MONEY IS GOING TO PAY FOR- IT
CAN IT CAN BE. DIFFERENT VERY
DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE AND ALSO
MAKE THE SEVENTY FIVE WORDS IF
YOU'RE ABLE TO SQUEEZE IT IN. A
VERY AWKWARD AND AT TIMES
INCOMPREHENSIBLE OUR QUESTION
OFFER BONDS PUTTING ALL THAT
INFORMATION IN THE BALLOT LABEL
CAN BE VERY MISLEADING BECAUSE
WE KNOW THAT ONE BONDS PASS. ON
THE YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
PEOPLE GONNA PAY BECAUSE
INTEREST RATES ARE CHAINS- AND
SO FORTH AND SO WE KNOW THAT
BONDS IT CAN BE IT CAN BE VERY
ABLE BECAUSE THE MARKETS CHANGE-
AND YET. REQUIRING THEM TO PUT
IN THAT SEVENTY FIVE WORDS
SOMETHING FAIRLY DEFENDED I MEAN
EVEN THOUGH UNDER THE LAW YOU
CAN DO AN ESTIMATE. OUR RANGE-
WE KNOW THAT IT CAN STILL BE
INCREDIBLY MISLEADING WHEN
YOU'RE TRYING TO CONDENSE IT. TO
FIT WITHIN THE SEVENTY FIVE
WORDS WHILE ALSO SAYING WHAT THE
BOND IS ACTUALLY GOING TO DO.
AND SO WHAT THIS BILL DOES IS
IT. NOT FOR THE SIMPLE TAXES FOR
THE TIER TAXES IN THE BONDS. ARE
REQUIRED THERE INSTEAD OF
PUTTING IT IN THE SEVENTY FIVE
WERE BALLOT LABEL HAS TO GO ALL
THE INFORMATION. HAS TO BE AND
THE BALLOT HANDBOOK AND THERE
WILL BE A PARENTHETICAL-
INCLUDED WITH THE BALLOT LABEL.
AND WE'RE MODIFYING THAT- AS I
INDICATED IN THE- ANALYSIS- TWO
STATES. THANK. BASICALLY SEE
BALLOT HANDBOOK FOR STATEMENT
AND EXPLANATION OF HOW THIS
MEASURE COULD IMPACT LOCAL
PROPERTY TAXES- SO- I WANT TO BE
CLEAR WE'RE NOT JUST TRYING TO
COME INTO REPEAL EVERYTHING. WE
GAVE IT A TRY I VOTED FOR THE
SECOND ONE. WE GAVE IT A TRY AND
IS NOT WORKING AS INTENDED AS A
PART OF IT IS OKAY AND WE KEEP
IT INTACT. I'M PART OF IT NEEDS
TO BE MODIFIED AND THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE DOING UP WITH THIS- WITH
THIS BILL- SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE. AND WITH ME
TODAY TO TESTIFY OR REBEKAH
CALLIN FROM THE COALITION FOR
ADEQUATE SCHOOL HOUSING. AND
CHRISTOPHER MAHER REPRESENTING
THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF STATE
COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES
CALIFORNIA. WELCOME GOOD MORNING
SENATOR- REBEKAH CLEAN ON BEHALF
OF THE COALITION FOR ADEQUATE
SCHOOL HOUSING REPRESENTING
SCHOOL DISTRICTS ON SCHOOL
FACILITIES ISSUES- THIS BILL SB
FIVE THIRTY TWO IT DOES CREATE
AN OPTION SO SCHOOLS COULD
CONTINUE TO OPERATE UNDER THE AB
ONE NINETY FIVE- OPTION OR YOU
COULD TAKE THIS NEW PATH- LOCAL
BONTA THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF
REVENUE TO CONSTRUCT. REPAIR AND
UPGRADE SCHOOL FACILITIES
SCHOOLS ARE IMPLEMENTING THE NEW
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN GRADE
LEVEL WHICH CREATED SIGNIFICANT
FACILITIES PRESSURES TO BUILD AN
UPGRADE OUR CLASSROOMS WERE
DRESSING THE NEED FOR STUDENT
AND WORKFORCE HOUSING MAKING
ESSENTIAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
REPAIRS AND SEISMIC UPGRADES-
WE'RE MODERNIZING OUR FACILITIES
TO MEET THE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF
TODAY'S STUDENTS. ALL OF THIS
REQUIRES FUNDING MOST OF WHICH
COMES FROM LOCAL BONDS WELL
STATE PROGRAMS LIKE THE SCHOOL
FACILITY PROGRAM ARE AN
IMPORTANT PIECE OF THAT PUZZLE
HELPS WILL MENTOR FUNDING AND
SCHOOLS CAN'T MATE. WE CANNOT
MEET ALL OF OUR FACILITIES NEEDS
WITHOUT THE PARTNERSHIP OF OUR
LOCAL COMMUNITIES- I LIKE TO SEE
THE BONSER COVENANT BETWEEN OUR
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND OUR
COMMUNITIES. OUT TRANSPARENCY IS
VITAL TO SUSTAIN THAT ONGOING
COMMITMENT AND SUPPORT AND QUITE
FRANKLY VOTERS ARE CONFUSED BY
THE NEW BALLOT LABEL
REQUIREMENTS THEY DO NOT MAKE
SENSE FOR BONDS AS SENATOR
WIENER STATED TAX RATES
FLUCTUATE TO PAY PRINCIPAL AND
INTEREST. THIS CAN BE DUE TO
CHANGES IN THE ECONOMY CHANGES
IN ASSESSED VALUATION WE SAW
THAT UNDER THE GREAT RECESSION.
PROJECT SCHEDULES THIS YEAR
WE'RE DOING A HIGH SCHOOL NEXT
YEAR WE'RE DOING ONE TEEKAY
CLASSROOM AT CETERA. WE NEED TO
PROVIDE ACCURATE INFORMATION
THAT VOTERS CAN UNDERSTAND AND
THE BEST PLACE TO DO THAT IS IN
THE VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE
WHICH HAS THE SPACE TO EXPLAIN
HOW A VOTER MAY. OR MAY NOT BE
IMPACTED BY A PROPOSED BOND. WE
DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IT IS
TRANSPARENT TO PROVIDE
INFORMATION WITHOUT CONTEXT THAT
WE KNOW CONFUSES VOTERS. LEFT
UNFIXED WILL SEE A WIDENING GAP
BETWEEN THE HAVES AND THE HAVE
NOTS SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS WILL
CONTINUE TO PASS BONDS. AND
IMPROVE THEIR FACILITIES WHILE
OTHERS AND ESPECIALLY THOSE IN
LOW WEALTH SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. ARE
NOT ABLE TO DO SO AND IN THAT
CASE OUR STUDENTS ARE THE ONES
THAT WILL SUFFER. WE VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE SENATOR CAFIERO YOUR
COMMITMENT TO MAKING THIS A
BETTER BILL TO INCREASING THE
TRANSPARENCY AND WE BIRCHER I
THOUGHT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOOD
MORNING CARE ACT CHIP MADAM

THERE ARE STRUGGLING TO KEEP
THEIR HOSPITALS OPEN AND BETTER
STRUGGLING TO KEEP THEIR TRANSIT
DISTRICTS PROVIDING
TRANSPORTATION FOR LOW INCOME
WORKERS AND- PEOPLE WHO ARE
MAKING CLIMATE. CONSCIOUS
DECISIONS. SINCE THE PASSAGE OF
THE BILLS MENTIONED BY THE
AUTHOR- WE'VE SEEN A CHILLING
EFFECTS ON BONDS INTO YOUR TAX
RATES. AND TAX RATES OR MARGINAL
RATES ARE A REALLY IMPORTANT
TOOL FOR ACHIEVING EQUITY IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. BUT THEY ARE
INHERENTLY COMPLEX AND DIFFICULT
TO SUMMARIZE AND SEVENTY FIVE
WORDS. SEVENTY SENATE BILL FIVE
THIRTY TWO WILL NOT DECREASE
TRANSPARENCY. 86% OF CALIFORNIA
VOTERS VOTED BY MAIL IN TWENTY
TWENTY TWO. SAID THEY VOTED AT
HOME WITH THEIR VOTER
INFORMATION GUIDES AND WITH MOST
MOST OF THEM WITH ACCESS TO THE
INTERNET TO DO MORE RESEARCH IF
THEY SO CHOSE. SO WE NEED TO
EMPOWER VOTERS WITH ACCURATE AND
CLEAR INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT
THEY'RE VOTING ON LET THEM MAKE
INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT WHETHER
TO. FUND LOCAL TRANSIT DISTRICTS
BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING KEEP
HOSPITALS FROM CLOSING AND
BOLSTER THEIR SCHOOLS SO WE

THANK YOU CURRENTLY NINE FURTHER
IN Q. THANK YOU VERY MUCH- WILL
BRING THE DISCUSSION BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE FOR ANY COMMENTS
QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS CENTER
GLAZER. YET THANK YOU CHAIR- I
KNOW THIS BILL IS DOUBLE
REFERRED TO IS GOING TO COME TO
ELECTIONS- ACTS AND BECAUSE OF
THAT I'M GONNA LAY OFF TODAY HI
AND CONTINUE THE CONVERSATIONS
WITH THE AUTHOR AND THAT AND
OTHERS. BUT I WILL NOTE THAT I
AM- BUT I AM VERY TROUBLED BY
THE BILL AND- I KNOW THE
INTENTIONS OF THE AUTHOR AND
THAT SUPPORTERS ARE ARE. HEARING
GOOD AND FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOW MY
OWN BACKGROUND THEY KNOW THAT.
I'VE WORKED ON MANY OF THESE
MEASURES FAT LOCALLY AND
STATEWIDE ANYTHING ACROSS THE
COUNTRY TO SUPPORT INVESTMENTS
IN OUR INFRASTRUCTURE OUR
SCHOOLS OUR ROADS- AND THE LIKE
AND- AND THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
AND A PART OF DOING THAT. AT IS
AS HAVING TRUST THAT THAT WE IN
GOVERNMENT ARE DOING OUR BEST
WORK AND- AND SO YOU YOU KNOW
I'VE SEEN MADE MANY COLLEAGUES
TO SEE ME WORK ON THIS TRUST
ISSUE. ON VARIOUS- MEASURES-
THEY'VE ALSO SEEN MY WORK- IN
TERMS OF HONEST DISCLOSURE AND
TRANSPARENCY THIS COMMITTEE
PASSED A BILL A FEW WEEKS AGO
WHICH I APPRECIATE. THE TRIED TO
HAVE MORE ACCURATE ODD NUMBERS
IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH THINGS
COST. AND THANK YOU FOR DOING
THAT AND- BUT I THINK THAT- I
HOPING THE THEY COULD DO
CONVERSE CAN WE TO A BETTER PATH
THAN WHAT'S BEEN PROPOSED TODAY.
IF THE ISSUE WAS THE LENGTH OF
THE BALLOT IN TERMS OF SEVENTY
FIVE WORDS AND THAT'S SOMETHING
I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT
IF THE ISSUE IS THAT YOU HAVE TO
PUT IN. THERE'S TOO MANY
VARIABLES THAN MAYBE WE NEED TO
FIND A WAY TO. ADDRESS THAT WITH
THE AVERAGES THAT ARE FAIR AND
HONEST. GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES
CAN CHANGE- BUT- BUT JUST SAND
GO CHECK OVER HERE- IS SOMETHING
THAT THAT DOES WORRY ME. WE HAD
A BILL. LAST YEAR. THAT I DID
JUST THE OPPOSITE. IT SAID
PEOPLE AREN'T READING THE BALLOT
PAMPHLETS YOU NEED TO PUT MORE
ON THE BALLOT. SO YOU NEED TO
TAKE THE PEOPLE THAT SIGN
ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST THESE
BALLOT MEASURES. AND NOW YOU GOT
TO PUT THEM ON THE BALLOT WE GOT
TO CLUTTER UP THE BALLOT WITH
MORE STUFF I OPPOSE THAT BILL.
AT LEGISLATURE IN THEIR WISDOM
ADVANCED AND THAT'S NOW. GONNA
HAPPEN. THE ACTUAL OPPOSITE OF
WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED HERE
TODAY. SO THESE ARE THE REASONS
THAT TITLE FOR TO FURTHER TO
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE AUTHOR
ABOUT. ABOUT THIS MEASURE BUT
FOR DEBT FOR ME TODAY IS NOT
SOMETHING I CAN SUPPORT. FITTERS
HERE. TO I THANK YOU. FOR
BRINGING THE BILL TO US TO
DISCUSS IT AND- I HAVE SOME OF
THE SAME ISSUES AS AS MY
COLLEAGUE. DOES- WHAT IS WHAT
MEASURE USING TO- DETERMINE WHAT
CONSTITUTES WHETHER THIS. THE
BILL AS IT ARE THE LAWS THAT
EXISTS. IS WORKING OR NOT. IT IS
IT THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF
BALLOT MEASURES. OR IS IT. AND
ATTITUDE OR A STUDY DONE WITH
PEOPLE WHO VOTE. YEAH WHO LOOK
AT THIS AND- SO I JUST WANNA BE
I KNOW I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE AND
I'M SORRY IF I SOUND LIKE A
BROKEN RECORD. WE ARE NOT. THIS
IS NOT ABOUT REDUCING
TRANSPARENCY OR HIDING THE BALL
ICE I SUPPORTED THAT BILL A FEW.
WEEKS AGO AND I WAS HAPPY TO DO
IT. THE IF WE WERE TRYING TO
HIDE THE BALL REDUCE
TRANSPARENCY WE WHICH HAS TRIED
A BLANKET REPEAL. AUDIO BOTH
OBERNOLTE BUT WE'RE NOT DOING
THAT WE'RE LEAVING IT INTACT.
FOR MANY THERE ARE MANY TAX
MEASURES THAT ARE STRAIGHT UP.
NINE TIERED A HUNDRED HUNDRED
EVERYONE PAYS A HUNDRED DOLLARS
A PROSPECT THAT WILL REMAIN
EXACTLY THE SAME. AS TODAY WE'RE
NOT CHANGING THAT IF WE WERE
TRYING TO REDUCE TRANSPARENCY WE
WILL BE TRYING TO WIPE OUT ALL
THE WAY WE'RE TRYING TO BE
NUANCED HERE BY SAYING IT WORKS
FOR THE SIMPLE TAXES. IT DOESN'T
WORK. IF YOU HAVE TEARS IF
YOU'RE A THEIR WAY THEIR TEAR
TAXES THAT THAT THERE AND THERE
DISTRICTS THAT DON'T WANT TO DO
WITH YOUR TAX. EVEN THOUGH THAT
MIGHT BE THE BETTER ROUTE WE
WANT WE WANT HOMEOWNERS TO PAY
LESS THAN LARGE COMMERCIAL
PROPERTY OWNERS FOR EXAMPLE. YOU
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT
ANYMORE BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT
ENOUGH WORDS TO EVEN FIT
EVERYTHING IN THAT YOU NEED TO
FIT. AND SO WE'RE WE'RE THE IT
SAYS SINCE THE LOGISTICS OF HOW
YOU PUT TOGETHER A BALLOT
QUESTION THAT'S EVEN BETTER
THAT'S EVEN DOABLE WITHIN
SEVENTY FIVE WORDS WERE SO
CONVOLUTED THAT VOTERS CAN
UNDERSTAND THAT. WE HAVE SEEN
WERE HAPPY TO GET DATA WE HAVE
THIS DATA THAT THE PASSAGE RATES
AND THE PERCENTAGES BY WHICH IS
MOST OF US. HAVE GONE DOWN SINCE
THESE PAST WE KNOW THERE ARE
DISTRICTS PARTICULAR SCHOOL
DISTRICT THAT HAD. DECIDED NOT
TO GO TO THE BALLOT BECAUSE THE
NEW LANGUAGE THE POLLING. IS SO
ATROCIOUS. AT IMPACT THEY PULLED
BOTH THE OLD. PRE OBERNOLTE
LANGUAGE IN THE NEW AND THERE'S
A NOTE A VERY SIGNIFICANT.
DIFFERENCE AND SO IT'S IT IT'S
HAVING REAL IMPACTS AND I THINK
WE ALL. AGREE THAT I THINK
EVERYONE AGREED WE WANT OUR
SCHOOLS TO BE ABLE TO. FUND
THEIR CAPITAL NEEDS WE HAVE
BUILDINGS THAT ARE AN ABSOLUTE
DILAPIDATED STATE. WE AS A STATE
. WE ARE NOT WE ARE NOT
INVESTING. NEARLY A- IN ADDRESS-
TO SEE LEVEL RISE. AND WHY. YOU
LOOK AT ALL THE REASON. WELL THE
PROBLEM OF FLOODING AND THE FIRE
PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE MORE
CITIES AND COUNTIES. WE'RE
EXPECTING THEM TO DO MASSIVE
INFRASTRUCTURE WORK. AND WE'RE
NOT GIVING THEM ENOUGH TO THE
STATE AND NOW WE'RE SAYING OKAY
SO WE'RE ALSO GOING TO MAKE IT.
HARDER AND HARDER FOR YOU TO
RAISE REVENUE LOCALLY TO DO IT.
SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
AND AGAIN WE'RE BEING NUANCED IN
TERMS OF KEEPING INTACT FOR
SOME. BUT NOT FOR OTHERS BECAUSE
OF THE- SERVE DEMONSTRATED
PROBLEMS IT'S BECAUSE FOR THOSE
AREAS RIGHT AND I UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU'RE YOU'RE SAYING BUT-
MY CONCERN IS. AND WHEN MY
QUESTION KIND OF IS. WELL ARE
THESE BALLOT MEASURES FAILING
BECAUSE NOW PEOPLE ARE LOOKING
AT THE BALLOT LANGUAGE. IN
DETERMINING A HEY WAIT THIS IS
THIS A TAX INCREASE- AND THEY
HAVE MORE INFORMATION AVAILABLE
TO HIM AND THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT
PASSING. OR IS IT BECAUSE- AS MY
COLLEAGUE HAD MENTIONED. THERE'S
A DECREASE IN THE- AT BECAUSE I
KNOW ON A LOT OF THE PEOPLE I
REPRESENT- THIS IS THIS IS WHAT
IT IS IF THERE IS A DECREASE. IN
SEEING WHEN THEY PASS A BOND OR
THEY PASS A TAX. THE RESULTS
THAT THEY WERE PROMISED. AND I
THINK THAT'S THE BIGGER PROBLEM
THAN LANGUAGE AND I THINK THIS
CAN BE PROBABLY SOLVED A LITTLE
BETTER BY. DOING A SUMMARY AND
THEN PUTTING AT THE BOTTOM
ESPECIALLY FOR TIERED RATES THIS
IS A COMPLEX FORMULA. YOU REFER
YOU CAN REFER TO THE BALLOT
LANGUAGE IF YOU KNOW IF THE
PAMPHLET FOR A MORE DETAILED
EXPLANATION THEY WILL TELL YOU.
IN MORE DETAIL EXACTLY WHAT'S
GOING TO HAPPEN INCLUDING WHAT
BUILDINGS ARE GOING TO BE BUILT
THE PROBLEM THAT THEY'VE BEEN
HAVING. IS THOSE THINGS DON'T
HAPPEN. OR THEY COST SO MUCH
THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE PULLING
MONEY OUT OF OTHER AREAS AND
TAXPAYERS HAVE GROWN WEARY OF
THAT AND THAT'S AND THAT'S THE
ISSUE I HAVE WITH THIS IS IT IT
SEEMS LIKE IT'S GOING TO TRY TO
. IT'S NOT MAYBE IT'S NOT THE
INTENTION. BUT IT'S GOING TO
HAVE THE EFFECT OF NOT GIVING
THEM THE INFORMATION THAT
THEY'VE BEEN THINKING. BASING
THEIR TO THEIR VOTING DECISION
ON WELL OVER A LOT OF US NO THEY
DON'T GET PAST A LOT OF PEOPLE
DON'T GET PAST THAT THAT BALLOT
. THEY THEY DON'T GO TO THE
VOTER GUIDE SO. SO CENTER A
COUPLE THINGS. IN TERMS OF
PEOPLE HAVING CONCERNS THAT THE
MONEY THAT THEY'RE AUTHORIZING
ISN'T AN EXPENSE QUICKLY AS IT
WATER EFFICIENTLY. THAT'S DA
CONCERN HAS IS LONG THAT THAT'S
NOT NEW THAT THAT'S NOT LIKE A
NEW CONCERN THE POPPED UP. THREE
THREE FOUR FIVE YEARS AGO RIGHT
WE YOU AND I BOTH BEEN AROUND
THIS A LONG TIME AND LOCAL
OFFICES ADDRESS. AND THOSE WHO
DON'T THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THOSE
CONCERNS AND THE AND THE TIMES
WHEN GOVERNMENT DOESN'T DELIVER
A PROJECT AS EFFICIENTLY AS
EFFECTIVELY AS POSSIBLE THAT IS
NOT A NEW- A NEW ISSUE- AND- AND
SO I THINK THAT. YOU KNOW AND
AGAIN THIS IS THIS IS ALSO THIS
IS A NEW THING. RIGHT THIS IS
THIS IS JUST A FEW YEARS OLD-
AND I THINK THAT ALSO POINTS
ANOTHER PIECE OF THIS. THAT.
THIS IS. THIS IS BETTER. OF WHAT
THE BILLS ARE PASSED ONE SIX
YEARS AGO OR FIVE AND A HALF
YEARS AGO ONE SEVEN AND A HALF
YEARS AGO. FOR MANY MANY YEARS
THESE WERE NOT PART OF THE LAW
IT IS NOT LIKE WE'RE KILLINGS
THAT'S LIKE. SO FUND THE MAN TO
K. BALLOT LAW. BECAUSE THESE
WERE NOT PART OF THE LAW FOR ALL
THOSE YEARS IT WAS IT'S A NEW
THING. WE TRIED IT I SUPPORTED
IT. AND IT'S PARTIALLY WORKING.
AND PARTIALLY CAUSING
SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS AND
SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T EVEN FIT IT
IN SEVENTY FIVE WORDS. AND NO
ONE. FROM THE OPPOSITION HAS
EVER GIVEN SOLUTION TO THAT. I
UNDERSTAND THAT ELIMINATING I
DON'T THINK WOULD HELP- NOT A
LIMITING. MODIFYING OR MODIFYING
IT DID JUST SAY GO LOOK UP GO
LOOK IT UP SOMEWHERE ELSE. THEY
STILL NEED SOME BASIC
INFORMATION BECAUSE THAT'S AS
FAR AS A LOT OF PEOPLE GET. AND
THAT'S WHAT MY CONCERN IS I
DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY OF. OF
WAITING FOR THE NEXT MEETING- ON
THIS BILL I HAVE TO MAKE UP MY
DECISION TODAY SO. THANK YOU
THANK YOU. CENTER DOLLY I JUST.
I'M JUST ONE WAY AND IT'S ABOUT
TRANSPARENCY REALLY THE END OF
THE DAY. WHETHER THESE. YOU KNOW
THEY'VE DECLINED. WE DON'T KNOW
WHO I MEAN WE DON'T KNOW ALL OF.
IN THAT BIG UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY-
SURVEY THAT VOTERS AND FIND OUT
WHAT WHY THEY VOTED THE WAY THEY
VOTED IT'S HARD TO TELL- FOR ME
IT'S ABOUT. YOU KNOW I VOTED FOR
THE BOTH OF THE OVERLOOKED
BECAUSE IT'S TRYING TO GET IS
TRYING TO GET PEOPLE EDUCATED ON
WHAT THEY'RE VOTING ON. AND NOT
CONFUSE THEM AND SO THE I THINK
THAT YOU'RE YOU KNOW I'M GONNA
I'M GONNA LAY OFF YOUR BILL AND
SEE WHAT COMES OUT OF. OF YOU
KNOW THAT THEIR COMMITTEE I
DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT WERE
YOU KNOW. CONFUSING THE VOTERS
AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
DO IT AND LOOK. ALL THE PEOPLE
THAT SUPPORTER PEOPLE WHO.
OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T GET THEIR BONDS
PASSED. AND THAT THE PEOPLE WHO
DON'T SAID- OPPOSED TO IT. R.
HOWARD JARVIS TAXPAYERS AND
REALTORS- THAT I SAW ON ON WHEN
THE STATE CAME OFF OF THAT I
DON'T KNOW- SO. ANYWAY I'LL BE
LAYING OFF THE BILL TODAY I WANT
TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT
IT BUT YOU KNOW THE DAY I'M FOR
TRANSPARENCY WE NEED TO LET. THE
PEOPLE ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE GETTING CHARGED. AND IF
IT'S IF IT'S HARD TO DO THAT-
MAYBE WE SHOULD LOOK AT TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT DONE
SO THAT THEY ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE GONNA CHARGE BECAUSE-
THE MAJORITY I'VE WORKED ON.
TRYING TO PASS. LOCAL TAXES TO
FUND THINGS LIKE AMBULANCES AND
FIRE HALLS. AND IT IS VERY
DIFFICULT TO GET THOSE DONE
INTEL YOU EXPLAIN TO A WHAT
YOU'RE REALLY GETTING WHAT
YOU'RE WHAT THEY'RE PAYING FOR
WHAT THEY'RE RECEIVING. I THINK
CALIFORNIANS ARE. MORE THAN.
FROM LEASE FOR MY HERE MY GUESS
IS THEY DON'T TRUST US TO SPEND
THE MONEY CORRECTLY. THAT IS THE
BIGGEST ISSUE IS LIKE. BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS GOING TO TRAINS IN
TWO THINGS THAT THEY DON'T EVER
GET A RETURN ON IT. YOU KNOW
BILLION DOLLARS FOR. FOR WATER
SYSTEMS THAT DON'T EVER GET
BUILT AND THEN THERE THEN WE'RE
COMING BACK TO ASK FOR MORE AND
I THINK THAT'S A BIGGER ISSUE-
THAT NEEDS TO DO WE HAVE TO BE
ACCOUNTABLE FOR WE WE'VE LOST
THE TRUST OF. A LOT OF THESE
PEOPLE WHO PAY THOSE TAXES AND
THAT'S UNFORTUNATE. ANY FOR THE
COMMENTS FROM THE COMMITTEE. NOT
CENTRO ALLOW YOU TO CONCLUDE.
WHAT ONE THING I JUST WANT TO.
KNOW AND I SAY THAT SOMETHING
LIKE A LOT OF- I WAS. LOCAL
ELECTED OFFICE I WOULD PUT. YOUR
AROUND THIS FOR AWHILE AS AS
HAVE YOU- DOES GOVERNMENT
SOMETIMES. MESS THINGS UP IN
TERMS OF THINGS END UP BEING
MORE EXPENSIVE OR DELAYED
ABSOLUTELY I'VE HAD. I'VE BEEN
VERY VOCAL ABOUT TIMES WHEN I
THINK. PROJECT HASN'T BEEN
DELIVERED ON THE WAY I WILL ALSO
SAY. AND I CAN ONLY SPEAK ABOUT
MY OWN COMMUNITY WHERE I'VE BEEN
INVOLVED WITH A LOT OF. BONDS
YOU KNOW SAN FRANCISCO WE
REBUILD OR REHABILITATE OUR
ENTIRE PARK SYSTEM. EVERY REC
CENTER EVERY PARK EVERY POOL
EVERY PLAYGROUND EVERYTHING
EVERYTHING. OUR ENTIRE LIBRARY
SYSTEM WHICH I THINK IS THE BEST
LIBRARY SYSTEM AND I THINK
THAT'S PARK SYSTEM IN THE
COUNTRY. WE'VE DONE THAT ALL
WITH BOND REVENUE AND IT'S- AND
IT'S BEEN OVERWHELMINGLY WELL
SPENT. THE TIMES UNDER BUDGET.
AND SO GOVERNMENT YES SOMETIMES
MESSES UP BUT THERE ARE SO MANY
TIMES WHEN GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY
TAKES THE BOND MONEY TAKES A
TACKLING. AND APPROPRIATELY
SPENT AND SO I DON'T BUY INTO
THE NARRATIVE I'M NOT SUGGESTING
YOU'RE SAYING THIS. BUT THERE
ARE SOME OF THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T
DO ANYTHING RIGHT CAN SPEND ANY.
BOND MONEY IS ALWAYS WORTH IT I
JUST THINK THAT'S NOT I MEAN
IT'S NOT TRUE. I THINK THERE ARE
TIMES LIKE ANYONE ELSE WERE
GOVERNMENT SCREWS UP. AND THERE
PLENTY OF TIMES WHEN GOVERNMENT
SPENDS THE MONEY WELL AND
DELIVERS PROJECTS WHETHER IT'S
SCHOOLS OR PARKS. OR ANYTHING
ELSE THAT MAKE FIRE STATIONS
THAT MAKE PEOPLE SAFER
HEALTHIER- AND MAKE OUR LIVES
BETTER. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS
ABOUT WE I AGREE TRANSPARENCY IS
IMPORTANT IS WHY VOTED FOR THE
TWENTY SEVENTEEN BILL- BUT IT.
WHEN WE SAY TRANSPARENCY IT'S
ABOUT. HOW DO WE DO TRANSPARENCY
AND HOW DO WE DO IN A WAY. THAT
IS ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTABLE AND
THAT WORKS AND THAT DOESN'T
DISTORT THE SYSTEM RIGHT NOW THE
LAWS ON THE BOOKS ARE
DISTORTING. THE WAY THAT WE DO
BONDS AND TAXES. AND SO WE WANT
TO TWEAK IT AND THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE DOING WITH THIS BILL AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH IS
THERE MOST. ALMOST SENATOR
BREAKS HER MUCH MOVES THE BILL
IT'S DUE PASS AS AMENDED TO
ELECTIONS AND CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENTS. PLEASE CALL THE ROLL

WIENER LET ME MOVE THAT MIKE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME
MADAM CHAIR AND JUST FOR THE
RECORD THAT'S THE FIRST TIME
I'VE BEEN ABLE TO SAY MADAM
CHAIR IN MY PRESENTATIONS SO I'M
GRATEFUL TO HAVE A COME OUT OF
MY MOUTH INTO YOUR EARS CENTER
CABALLERO TODAY I RISE TO
PRESENT SB THREE ONE FOUR. WHICH
WOULD CREATE AN INDEPENDENT
REDISTRICTING COMMISSION TO DRAW
THE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES IN
SACRAMENTO COUNTY ALL START BY
THINKING YOU'RE AMAZING
COMMITTEE CONSULTING CALLING FOR
HIS KEEN ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND
THAT WILL ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE'S
MINOR TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS TO
CLARIFY WHICH COUNTY OFFICIAL
WILL ADMINISTER A DRAWING TO
DETERMINE THE FOR STATE
COMMISSIONERS. IN CALIFORNIA
EXISTING LAW ALLOWS COUNTIES TO
ESTABLISH ADVISORY OR
INDEPENDENT REDISTRICTING
COMMISSIONS IN THE CITY OF
SACRAMENTO I WORKED WHEN I WAS A
COUNCIL MEMBER TO PASS A REFORM
THAT ESTABLISH TO THE CITY'S
INDEPENDENT REDISTRICTING
COMMISSION. BUT MANY OTHER
JURISDICTIONS HAVE DONE THE SAME
LOS ANGELES SAN DIEGO RIVERSIDE
FRESNO AND KERN COUNTIES ALL
HAVE SIMILAR PROGRAMS. STUDIES
OF THIS PAST CYCLE DO SHOW. THAT
INDEPENDENT REDISTRICTING
COMMISSIONS WERE MORE
TRANSPARENT PROMOTED MORE PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION AND THAT THE MAPS
DRAWN OR MORE REFLECTIVE OF THE
COMMUNITY THEN THE AREAS THAT
WERE NOT. BY CONTRAST IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DREW THEIR
OWN DISTRICT LINES. THEY DID
HOLD HEARINGS AND THEY DID TAKE
PUBLIC COMMENT BUT ULTIMATELY IT
MADE THE FINAL DECISION
THEMSELVES. AS TO THEIR OWN
AREAS OF REPRESENTATION. MANY
GROUPS FELT THEIR VOICES WERE
SILENCED OR THAT THEIR
COMMUNITIES WERE SPLIT BETWEEN
DISTRICTS IN PARTICULAR THE API
COMMUNITY AND THE L. G. B. T. Q.
COMMUNITY WERE VOCAL ABOUT THAT
PROCESS NOT PARTICULARLY. BEING
FAIR. SB THREE ONE FOUR LAYS OUT
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND
SELECTION PROCESSES THAT ARE
MODELED AFTER THE BILL'S
ESTABLISHED BY THE COMMISSION'S
IN LOS ANGELES. SAN DIEGO AND
RIVERSIDE AS WELL AS THE
POLICIES THAT I AUTHORED AS A
MEMBER OF THE CITY OF
SACRAMENTO. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR AYE VOTE MIGHT PRIMARY
WITNESS IS NOT AVAILABLE TODAY
BUT IS FROM THE ORGANIZATION
ORGANIZE SACRAMENTO. VERY GOOD
THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE THAT
WOULD LIKE TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT
OF THIS BILL PLEASE COME FORWARD

PLEASE COME FORWARD. SEEING NO
MOVEMENT WILL MOVE ON TO THE
TELECONFERENCING AND SEE IF
THERE'S ANYBODY THAT WOULD LIKE
TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OR IN
OPPOSITION. OF SB. THREE
FOURTEEN. AND REMEMBER IT IS ONE
ZERO AT THE TIME PLEASE PRESS
ONE ZERO AND SO. AND GIVEN
MOMENT HERE WE HAVE NOBODY IN
QUEUE AT THIS TIME. VERY GOOD.
NO ONE IN Q. WILL BRING IT BACK
TO THE COMMITTEE I WILL MOVE
MISS ASHBY SPELL SENATE ACTUALLY
SPELL THANK YOU VERY GOOD ANY
OTHER COMMENTS OR- CONCERNS.
SENATOR SAY ARE TO. SO I DO HAVE
A LITTLE BIT OF A PROBLEM WITH
THE BILL SURE I DON'T. THE
INDEPENDENT COMMISSION IS I
THINK AND- THAT'S NOT A
CONTROVERSIAL THING AS LONG AS
IT'S INDEPENDENT. BUT YOUR BILL
ACTUALLY SPECIFIES THAT IT IS.
IT IT ACTUALLY HAS BIAS BUILT
INTO IT- BY HAVING. THE
MEMBERSHIP INSTEAD OF JUST BEING
EVEN OR EVEN. NOT AND- YOU KNOW
NOT NOT DEFINED- IT IT
INHERENTLY BUILDS IN. MORE OF
ONE POLITICAL PARTY THEN ANOTHER
WHICH DOESN'T MAKE IT IS
INDEPENDENT MAKES IT MORE BIASED
IF THAT WEREN'T THERE I'D BE
FINE WITH THIS BILL ESPECIALLY
BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE. THAT
AGENCY SACRAMENTO AND OTHERS.
HAVE YOU KNOW THEY HAVE THE
RIGHT TO DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO
IT THERE THE REDISTRICTING
PROCESS THESE- BED BUT IN THIS
PARTICULAR CASE AND- I'M LOOKING
AT THIS AND THINKING HOW IS THAT
AN UNBIASED INDEPENDENT. LOOK AT
HOW TO READ DISTRICT I THINK
IT'S UNBIASED IN THE SENSE THAT
MAYBE FOR YOU IT FEELS BIASED
BECAUSE IT REFLECTS THE-
MEMBERSHIP OF THAT COUNTY AND IN
SACRAMENTO COUNTY IT IS CLEARLY
ONE PARTY OVER THE OTHER. IF THE
COUNTY SWITCHED TO THE REVERSE
OF WHICH IT WOULD BIAS ITSELF
THAT DIRECTION IT ONLY BIASES
ITSELF IN RELATION TO WHAT THE-
WHAT THE MAKE UP OF THE COUNTY
IS RIGHT I UNDERSTAND THAT IT
BUT IT JUST IT TAKES THE
UNBIASED- EFFORT TO DO
REDISTRICTING. OUT OF IT I MEAN
THERE IS A WAY OF THINGS THAT
THAT THEY GO INTO IT. BUT THIS
JUST. IN EITHER WAY I DON'T I
DON'T CONDONE IT EITHER WAY. I
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING
IT'S LOOKS LIKE IT IS NOT
ACHIEVING ANY MORE THAN WHAT
PEOPLE WERE CONCERNED WITH. WELL
THAT'S THE REASON THEY WENT TO
THESE INDEPENDENT REDISTRICTING
SHARPENS IS TO GET THAT BIAS
OUT. AND NOT HAVE
GERRYMANDERING. BASED. QUESTION
CENTER SARATOGA FIRST OF ALL AT
AT YOU AS YOU KNOW AND I KNOW
YOU KNOW THIS BUT I SAY IT SO
THAT OTHERS CAN HEAR. THE COUNTY
AND THE CITY ARE NONPARTISAN
SEATS SO THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT
BASED ON PARTISAN POLITICS. BUT
WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST IS
WHERE. AG A REDISTRICTING
PROCESS DOESN'T ACCURATELY
REFLECT THE COMMUNITY THAT'S
WHEN THERE'S BIAS SO WHAT THIS
BILL SEEKS TO DO IS. ACCURATELY
PLACE PEOPLE IN POSITIONS WHO
REFLECT BACK COMMUNITY SO THAT
WHEN YOU DRAW LINES THOSE LINES
ARE. THEN CONDUCIVE TO THE
REPRESENTATION BEING MORE
ACCURATE OF THE BODIES SO I
WOULD ACTUALLY ARGUE THE
OPPOSITE THAT THIS BILL SEEKS TO
CONSIDER EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE
SUGGESTING AND DOESN'T LEAVE
THAT- UNANSWERED. THAT MAKES
SENSE TO YOU AT IT IF IT WERE
SILENT ON THAT ISSUE. THEN YOU
COULD HAVE AN ENTIRE
REDISTRICTING COMMISSION THAT
DOESN'T REFLECT THE POPULATION
INSIDE OF THAT COUNTY WHICH IS
DIFFERENT IN EACH COUNTY WHICH
IS WHY I THINK. YOU KNOW IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT THIS IS
SACRAMENTO ONLY THIS THIS
DOESN'T APPLY TO ANY OTHER
COUNTY BUT SACK RIGHT THE OTHER
COUNTIES HAVE DONE IT DIFFERENT
SOME OF THEM HAVE. AND THEY'VE
GOT A MILLION IN THE SAME AMOUNT
THEY DON'T. SEEM THIS THIS IS
MODELED AFTER LA SAN DIEGO
RIVERSIDE AND SACRAMENTO.
SENATOR ISAH YES I THANK THE
AUTHOR I AM I HAVE A SIMILAR
BILL RUNNING RIGHT NOW THE MAIN
THING THAT WE WERE TRYING TO
ACCOMPLISH WHICH I THINK. YOU
ACCOMPLISHED IS THAT- THE- THE
BIAS WITH REGARDS TO INCUMBENT.
ELECTED OFFICIALS. THE VETERAN
USE THAT POWER. TO THEN COME UP
WITH. BOUNDARIES THAT ARE GOING
TO BENEFIT THEM AND GIVE THEM AN
ADVANTAGE OVER. YOU KNOW TO BE
ABLE TO WIN A REELECTION OR TWO
WITH SO THAT THAT'S A BIG PIECE
OF I THINK WHAT INDEPENDENT
MEANS. IS KEEPING YOUR YOUR BIAS
OUT OF THE EQUATION WHEN THE
LINES ARE DRAWN SO THAT- YOU'RE
NOT GIVEN AN ADVANTAGE- IN IN
THAT SEAT SO. I THINK THAT'S ARE
ON ANOTHER PIECE OF THIS THAT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT TO. REMEMBER
BUT I SUPPORT YOUR EFFORTS I
APPRECIATE THAT THANK YOU YES
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY THE BALLOTS
WERE TRYING TO STRIKE. SENATOR
GLAZERS. I JUST ON THIS POINT I
MEAN I'M READING FROM THE BILL
THE AMENDMENTS THAT BEEN
SUBMITTED TO THE COMMITTEE. AND
SAYS THE COMMISSION SHALL
CONSIST OF FOURTEEN MEMBERS THE
POLITICAL PARTY PREFERENCES OF
THE COMMISSION MEMBERS. AS SHOWN
ON THE MEMBERS MOST RECENT
AFFIDAVIT OF REGISTRATION SHOULD
BE IS PROPORTIONAL AS POSSIBLE.
TO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES WHO
ARE REGISTERED WITH EACH
POLITICAL PARTY. IN THE COUNTY
OF SACRAMENTO OR WHO DECLINED TO
STATE DO NOT INDICATE A PARTY
PREFERENCE. AS DETERMINED BY
REGISTRATION AT THE MOST RECENT
ELECTION SO. THAT SEEMS LIKE
THAT'S A RESPONSIVE TO THE
CONCERNS HAVE BEEN RAISED TO MY
READING THAT ACT YEAH YOU ARE
IT'S AND IT'S ALSO NOT A
REQUIREMENT TO HAVE THE NUMBER
OF TIMES I WAS JUST A GOAL.
GREAT THANK YOU GAP THANK YOU
CENTER GLACIER ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS COMMENTS SENATORS. I
WENT ON A ON A THANK THE AUTHOR
FOR BRINGING THIS FOR INFLUENCE
SUPPORT THIS BILL I THINK IN THE
LAST FEW YEARS WE'VE HAD TO DEAL
WITH THIS WITH A NUMBER. OF
COUNTIES THAT HAVE. BOTH BOTH OF
BLUE AND RED. THAT HAVE- REFUSED
TO DO IT LOCALLY- AND- CONTINUE
TO- GERRYMANDER AND AT THE
IMPACT OF REALLY EXCLUDING
SIZEABLE. COMMUNITIES WITHIN
THAT COUNTY FROM FAIR
REPRESENTATION. SO YOU KNOW IF
THE- I. COUNTY WHICH IS DUE THIS
LOW AND THE RIGHT THING AND IT
CAN BE A WIDE FOR. OF REGIS-
APPROACH NOT EVERY INDEPENDENT
REDISTRICTING COMMISSION HAS TO
BE EXACTLY THE SAME BUT WE'VE
COUNTIES ARE NOT DOING IT AT
ALL- IT'S HAVING PROBLEMATIC
RESULTS SO I FULLY SUPPORT THIS.
THANK YOU SENATOR WE RUN AS A
MOTION OF EMOTION HASN'T BEEN
MADE NO IT HAS NOT I MOVED BILL

MOTION AND- ANY OTHER COMMENTS
OR CONCERNS. YOU MAKE INCLUDE
THANKS I REALLY DO APPRECIATE

HARD TO STRIKE A BALANCE I HOPE
YOU CAN SUPPORT THE BILL AYE

WIENER. WIENER I. SIXTY TO.
SIXTY TO THE BILL IS OUT THANK
YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MEMBERS
WE MOVE ON TO FILE ITEM NUMBER
TWELVE S. B. FIVE SIXTY NINE BY
SENATOR GLAZERS. I THANK YOU
THANK YOU CHAIR CABALLERO AND
TWO YEAR COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
WORKING WITH ME ON THIS BILL- SB
FIVE SIXTY NINE WOULD INCREASE
THE RENTER'S TAX CREDIT FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN. FORTY FOUR YEARS
SINCE THE LAST INCREASE IN
NINETEEN SEVENTY NINE AVERAGE
RENTS IN CALIFORNIA HAVE MORE
THAN TRIPLED. ACCORDING TO THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE
RUNNERS HAVE BEEN
DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY
THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCE OF
COVERT NINETEEN. RENTERS ON
AVERAGE EARN LESS THAN
HOMEOWNERS THAT WERE MORE AT
RISK OF LOSING THEIR JOBS
BECAUSE OF THE STAY AT HOME
ORDERS. CURRENTLY THE CREDIT IS
JUST SIXTY DOLLARS. HUNDRED
TWENTY DOLLARS FOR JOINT FILERS
AND HEADS OF HOUSEHOLDS. THE
BILL WOULD TIE THIS BILL WOULD
TIED THE CREDIT. THIS VERY LOW
CREDIT TO INFLATION THE MEASURE
WOULD ALSO MAKE THE RENTER'S TAX
CREDIT REFUNDABLE. MEANING ALL
RENTERS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE TO
RECEIVE THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE
CREDIT. EVEN IF IT EXCEEDED
THEIR TAX OBLIGATION. THAT MEANS
UNDER THIS BILL ABOUT A MILLION
RENTERS. WILL NOW READ WOULD
RECEIVE A SOME CREDIT- THAT THEY
BECOME ELIGIBLE BASED ON
ESTIMATES FROM THE FRANCHISE TAX
BOARD. REWORK TO INSURE
APPLICABLE FUNDING IS INCLUDED
IN THE JOINT LEGISLATIVE BUDGET
PROPOSAL. HOWEVER IT'S IMPORTANT
TO PLACE THIS NEW STRUCTURE IN

READY CENTER THANK YOU VERY
MUCH- MISTER CHAIR I'M PLEASED
TO PRESENT SB SIX EIGHTY FOUR.
WHICH CREATES A STREAMLINED
PROCESS FOR COMMUNITIES TO BUILD
SMALL SCALE HOMEOWNERSHIP
PROJECTS. SINCE TWENTY TEN
CALIFORNIA'S POPULATION GROWTH
HAS FAR EXCEEDED THE NUMBER OF
NEW HOMES BUILT. THE LACK OF NEW
HOUSING CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN A
KEY FACTOR IN THE STATE'S
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS BECAUSE
SUPPLY SIMPLY HAS NOT KEPT PACE
WITH DEMAND. THE LACK OF SUPPLY
AND AFFORDABLE AFFORDABILITY
CRISIS HAS ALSO CONTINUE TO
DRIVE DOWN CALIFORNIA'S
HOMEOWNERSHIP RATES AND DRIVE UP
RENTAL COSTS. IN FACT THE
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS HAS BECOME
SO EXTREME THAT HOMES NOT NOW
COST MORE THAN EIGHT POINT FIVE
TIMES THE AVERAGE FAMILY SALARY
VERSUS ONLY TWO POINT FIVE TIMES
IN THE EARLY NINETEEN SEVENTIES
AS A RESULT THE AMERICAN DREAM
OF HOMEOWNERSHIP IS NOW OUT OF
REACH FOR MANY CALIFORNIA
FAMILIES. ESPECIALLY FAMILIES OF
COLOR JUST LIKE HOUSING
AFFORDABILITY HAS DRIVEN
HOMEOWNERSHIP RATES DOWN FOR
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR LOCAL
PLANNING RULES HAVE CREATED
BARRIERS TO HOMEOWNERSHIP MANY
COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE
HAVE ENACTED POLICIES THAT
RESTRICT DENSER DEVELOPMENTS IN
SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS
WHICH PREVENTS THE CONSTRUCTION
OF SMALLER STARTER HOMES WORKING
FAMILIES CAN AFFORD. UNDER
EXISTING LAW THE FRAMEWORK FOR
DIVIDING LAND FOR SALE LEASE OR
FINANCING IS SET FORTH UNDER
THIS SUBDIVISION MAP OUT OR THE
SMA WHICH HAS BEEN ON THE BOOKS
SINCE THE MID NINETEEN
SEVENTIES. THE SMA CREATES AN
EXTENSIVE PERMITTING AND
APPROVAL PROCESS THAT OFTEN
DELAYS THE PERMITTING AND
CONSTRUCTION PHASES OF NEW
HOMES. WHILE THE SMA IS AN
IMPORTANT TOOL FOR BOTH LOCAL
AGENCIES AND DEVELOPERS THERE
ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO STREAMLINE
PROCESSES. TO HELP ALLOW
CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN AT AN
EARLIER STAGE. SB SIX EIGHTY
FOUR EXPANDS THE TOOLS AVAILABLE
TO LOCAL ADJOURNMENTS AND
DEVELOPERS TO STREAMLINE SMALL
LOT SUBDIVISIONS FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF HOMEOWNERSHIP
PROJECTS TO CREATE CREATE MORE
LOWER COST HOMES. FOR SALE
SPECIFICALLY IT WILL SHORTEN THE
TIME FRAME FOR DEVELOPMENT BY
AUTHORIZING LOCAL AGENCY TO
ISSUE BUILDING PERMITS ONCE A
TENTATIVE MAP HAS BEEN RECORDED
AND PROVIDES FOR MINISTERIAL. BY
RIGHT APPROVAL WHAT'S IMPORTANT
HERE IS WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
A HUGE PROJECT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT SMALL PROJECTS- THAT WOULD
PROVIDE THAT OPPORTUNITY. SB SIX
EIGHTY FOUR ALSO INCLUDES
IMPORTANT GUARDRAILS TO ENSURE
NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS ARE
PRESERVED SUCH AS REQUIRING
DEVELOPERS TO ABIDE BY EXISTING
SETBACKS AND HEIGHT REQUIREMENT
AND INCLUDE ANY AFFORDABILITY
PROVISIONS REQUIRED AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL. ADDITIONALLY ANY PROPOSED
DEVELOPMENT CANNOT BE GREATER
THAN TEN UNITS ON PARCELS OF
FOUR FIVE ACRES OR LESS SO WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT SMALL PROJECTS.
AND LOCATED ON OUR ON PARCELS
EITHER ZONE FOR MULTI FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL OR VACANT PARCELS
ZONED FOR SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS. WITH
ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT
OF SB SIX EIGHTY FOUR IS SO
CENTER. MIGHT NOT ON BEHALF OF
CALIFORNIA YIMBY AND ADAM
BRIANNA'S ON BEHALF OF
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY BUILDERS.
RIGHT THANK YOU. WITNESS WHEN
YOU'RE READY. THERE ARE GOOD
MORNING CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS ADAM
BRIANNA'S AND I'M CEO OF
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY BUILDERS A
NONPROFIT WORKING TO CLOSE THE
RACIAL WEALTH GAP FOCUSING ON
HOUSING AND HOMEOWNERSHIP. AS AN
ORCHID ORGANIZATION LED BY AND
SERVING PEOPLE OF COLOR I'M HERE
TODAY IS A PROUD CO SPONSOR OF
SB SIX EIGHTY FOUR. THIS
ESSENTIAL LEGISLATION WILL
PRODUCE MORE HOMES THAT ARE
LOWER COST AND MORE ACCESSIBLE
TO FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS BY
ENABLING PRODUCTION OF SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES OR TOWNHOMES ON
LOTS THAT ARE SMALLER AND LESS
EXPENSIVE. CALIFORNIANS MEET
CALIFORNIA'S MEDIAN LOT SIZES
EIGHTY THREE HUNDRED SQUARE FEET
AND RESEARCH HAS FOUND THAT LAND
COSTS MAKE UP MORE THAN HALF THE
PRICE OF HOMES. IN PLACES LIKE
LOS ANGELES SAN DIEGO SALINAS
SAN JOSE AND SAN FRANCISCO. AS
SUCH THE MATH DRIVING SB SIX
EIGHTY FOUR SIMPLE. HOME THAT
COMES WITH LESS LAND WILL COST
LESS. MANY FAMILIES WANT AND CAN
AFFORD A LARGE HOME WITH A LARGE
BACKYARD AND THESE FAMILIES HAVE
PLENTY OF OPTIONS IN TODAY'S
MARKET. BUT FAMILIES AND I WOULD
ARGUE MANY MORE FAMILIES OF
COLOR WOULD LOVE TO BUY A HOME
WITH LESS LAND IF THAT MADE THE
AMERICAN DREAM OF HOMEOWNERSHIP
POSSIBLE FOR THEM. BUT TOO MANY
CAN'T BUY HOME AT ALL BECAUSE
AFFORDABLE OPTIONS SIMPLY AREN'T
BUILT ANYMORE. SB SIX EIGHTY
FOUR ADDRESSES THIS HEAD ON.
MAKING THESE TYPES OF HOMES MUCH
MORE COMMON AND CREATING
INCREASED CHOICE FOR DIVERSE
FAMILIES. MY ORGANIZATION IS
DEEPLY INVESTED IN THIS TOPIC
BECAUSE WHILE HOMEOWNERSHIP IS
THE WAY IN WHICH MOST AMERICANS
BUILD INTERGENERATIONAL WEALTH.
ONLY FOUR IN TEN BLACK AND
LATINO CALIFORNIANS OWN THEIR
OWN HOMES. THAT'S ONE OF THE
MAIN REASONS WHY FOR EVERY
DOLLAR OF WEALTH HELD BY WHITE
FAMILY. BLACK AND LATINO
FAMILIES ONLY HAVE ABOUT SIXTEEN
CENTS. HOMEOWNERSHIP IS A
BROADLY SHARED VALUE IN
CALIFORNIA AND SB SIX EIGHTY
FOUR REPRESENTS ONE CONCRETE
STEP IN CREATING THE IMPORTANT
ADMITTEDLY TECHNICAL CHANGES.
NEEDED TO ACTUALLY PRODUCED
LOWER COST FOR SALE HOUSING AND
MAKING THAT SHARED VALUE REALITY
. THERE ARE NO SILVER BULLETS
WHEN IT COMES TO ADDRESSING
CALIFORNIA'S HOUSING
HOMEOWNERSHIP CRISIS. BUT SB SIX
EIGHTY FOUR CREATES AN IMPORTANT
TOOL FOR BUILDING AFFORDABLE
HOMES AND BUILDING WEALTH FOR
EVERY DAY CALIFORNIANS. THANK
YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF
THIS IMPORTANT MEASURE AND I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR
IPHONE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TESTIMONY. NEXT SPEAKER.
GOOD MORNING CHAIRED MEMBERS MY
NAME IS SOSA NOT AN ATOM HERE
TODAY ON BEHALF OF CALIFORNIA B.
AS ARE PROUD CO SPONSOR OF SB
SIX EIGHTY FOUR. CALIFORNIA BE
IS A STATEWIDE ORGANIZATION OF
OVER EIGHTY THOUSAND. NEIGHBORS
DEDICATED TO MAKING OUR STATE
AFFORDABLE PLACE TO LIVE WORK
AND RAISE A FAMILY FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS. WHILE THERE'S NO
SINGLE REASON FOR CALIFORNIA'S
HOUSING CRISIS THE L. A. O. HAS
IDENTIFIED THE UNDERSUPPLY OF
HOUSING IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST
CULPRITS. THIS IS CONTRIBUTED TO
CALIFORNIA'S HIGH HOUSING COSTS
AND WE HAVE THE THIRD HIGHEST
MEDIAN HOME PRICE. AND THE
SECOND LOWEST HOMEOWNERSHIP RATE
IN THE NATION. THIS IS MADE
PAINFULLY CLEAR LAST WEEK WHEN
WE SAW THE CALIFORNIA DREAM FOR
ALL PROGRAMS. TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY
EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS IN
HOMEOWNERSHIP FUNDING FULLY
EXTINGUISHED WITHIN ELEVEN DAYS.
THE LOW OWNERSHIP NUMBERS ARE
PARTICULARLY CONCERNING WHEN WE
CONSIDER THAT HOMEOWNERSHIP IS
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
GENERATIONAL WEALTH BUILDING
TOOLS. FOR OUR FAMILIES AND
THOSE HARDEST HIT BY THE
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS ARE PEOPLE
OF COLOR. A PRACTICAL TOOL TO
ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IS BY
REMOVING BARRIERS TO THE
CONSTRUCTION OF MISSING MIDDLE
HOUSING. MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING
REFERS TO A RANGE OF MULTI UNIT
CLUSTERED HOUSING TYPES
COMPATIBLE WITH SINGLE FAMILY.
NEIGHBORHOODS SUCH AS FOR PLEXUS
DUPLEXES COTTAGE COURTS IN TOWN
HOMES. AND THE CREATION OF THIS
HOUSING CAN HAVE A POSITIVE
IMPACT ON THE AVAILABILITY. OF
MORE AFFORDABLE STARTER HOMES
THAT ALLOW NEW BUYERS TO AND
ENTER THE OTHERWISE COMPETITIVE
MARKET PLACE. HOWEVER BARRIERS
SUCH AS THE LACK OF CLARITY
WITHIN THE SUBDIVISION MAP ACT
PRESENT PREVENT SMALL SCALE
DEVELOPERS FROM DEVELOPING THESE
HOUSING OPTIONS. SB SIX EIGHTY
FOUR ENCOURAGES THE CREATION OF
THESE MISSING MIDDLE HOUSING
TYPES BY STREAMLINING THE
SUBDIVISION MAP ACT. ALLOWING
SMALL PROJECTS OF TEN UNITS OR
LESS TO MOVE FORWARD SOONER IN
THE MAPPING PROCESS. SAVING
CRITICAL TIME IN THE DEVELOPMENT
TIMELINE. AS MY COLLEAGUE SAID
WELL THERE'S NO SILVER BULLET TO
SOLVING THE HOUSING CRISIS THERE
ARE IMPORTANT STEPS THAT WE CAN
TAKE TO ENCOURAGE. THE
PRODUCTION OF LOWER COST
OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. AND SB
SIX EIGHTY FOUR DOES JUST THAT-
IT'S FOR THESE REASONS THAT WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE TODAY AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
AND NOW WE'LL GO TO THE ROOM TO
SEE IF ANYBODY WOULD LIKE TO
COME IN AND ADD ON PLEASE JUST
STATE YOUR NAME. AND YOUR OF

AND IT PASSES FIVE ZERO WE NEED
. LEAVE IT WE'RE GONNA LEAVE IT
OPEN FOR OTHER STAT ON. RIGHT
THAT BRINGS US TO YOUR NEXT BILL
TO SB SEVEN FORTY SEVEN- THANK
YOU MR VICE CHAIR I AM PLEASED
TO PRESENT SB SEVEN FORTY SEVEN
WHICH WOULD MAKE IMPORTANT
CHANGES TO THE CALIFORNIA
SURPLUS LAND ACT TO PROVIDE
CLARITY TO ITS APPLICATION. AND
ALLOW FLEXIBILITY FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO DEVELOP ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE CRITICAL
TO THE GOAL OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PRODUCTION. FIRST I
WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND MY SINCERE
GRATITUDE TO COMMITTEE STAFF WHO
HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY
WITH ME ON THIS ISSUE AND I WILL
BE ACCEPTING THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS OUTLINED INCOME AND
SIX AND SEVEN ON PAGE NINE OF
THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS. FOR DAY
DECADES REDEVELOPMENT AGENCIES
OR OR RDAS WERE EQUIPPED WITH
BROAD COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION
AUTHORITY AND FINANCING POWERS A
CORE FEATURE OF THE FORMER RDA
TOOL WITH THAT IT ENABLED LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO ACQUIRE
PROPERTIES AND ASSEMBLE LAND
THAT COULD BE USED TO
REVITALIZED DETERIORATED
NEIGHBORHOODS. AND ATTRACT AN
EXPANDED NEW BUSINESSES AND JOBS
TO THE COMMUNITY AFTER RDAS WERE
ELIMINATED IN TWENTY ELEVEN THE
LEGISLATURE RECOGNIZED THAT
LOCAL AGENCIES NEEDED NEW
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOLS AND
ENACTED A VARIETY OF LOSSES
INCLUDING. STATE ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY LAW TO AUTHORIZE
LOCAL AGENCIES TO ACQUIRE AND
DISPOSE OF PROPERTY FOR ECONOMIC
GROWTH. SINCE THE ENACTMENT OF
THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY LAW IN
TWENTY SEVENTEEN LOCAL AGENCIES
HAVE UTILIZED THIS TOOL TO
ACQUIRE DETERIORATED BUILDINGS
UNDER UTILIZED LOTS AND OTHER
PROPERTY. OFTEN IN UNDERINVESTED
NEIGHBORHOODS AND DOWNTOWNS WITH
THE EYE TO THE FUTURE SALE OR
LEASE OF THESE PROPERTIES TO
ADVANCE PRIVATE SECTOR
INVESTMENT. ALL THIS REVITALIZED
NEIGHBOR ALL THIS TO REVITALIZE
NEIGHBORHOODS TO CREATE ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY BY EXPANDING JOB
OPPORTUNITIES BUSINESSES AND
PROPERTY AND SEES SALES TAX
REVENUE. WHEN A LOCAL
JURISDICTION ACTS TO DISPOSE OF
PROPERTY ACCESS TO ITS NEED
PROPERTY A- WITH THE GOAL TO
PURSUE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY IT
MUST UNDERGO REVIEW UNDER THE
SURPLUS LAND ACT. THE SLA
REQUIRES A LOCAL AGENCY SEEKING
TO DISPOSE OF REAL PROPERTY AS
SURPLUS TO FIRST MAKE IT
AVAILABLE FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. IN TWENTY NINETEEN AB
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SIX IMPOSED
REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE SLA WHICH
INCLUDED GIVING THE DEPARTMENT
OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT AND OVERSIGHT ROLE
AND THE ABILITY TO IMPOSE FINES
WHEN A LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS FOUND
TO HAVE VIOLATED THE SLA. THE
POINT OF THIS BILL IS THAT THERE
WAS THIS ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
ACT THAT WAS PASSED AND THEN
WITHIN A COUPLE SHORT YEARS THE
SLA AND HE CREATED THIS
CHALLENGE AS TO WHAT THE SURPLUS
LAND COULD BE USED FOR AND HOW
IT COULD BE- EITHER SOLD OR
LEASED- IN IN THE FUTURE. AND
WHEN WE GET IT GEBIET CD THE
AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE OVERSIGHT-
IT CREATED. IT CREATED THIS
SITUATION WHERE IF YOU WERE
WRONG IN YOUR DECISION- YOU
COULD BE FINED AND- AND IT
CREATED AS A FOR THOSE OF YOU
HAVE SERVED IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT
IT CREATE THIS- FEAR OF GETTING
IT WRONG CREATED- A LEGAL
PARALYSIS WERE CITIES BEN DON'T
TAKE ANY ACTION AT ALL BECAUSE
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY CAN DO
WITH THE PROPERTY. IN ORDER NOT
TO IT TO FACE A FINE SB SEVEN
FORTY SEVEN MAKES A NUMBER OF
CHANGES TO THE TO THE SLA. TO
PROVIDE GREATER CLARITY FOR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WHEN PROPERTY
IS DEEMED CIRM SURPLUS FIRST AND
FOREMOST IT PROVIDES MUCH NEEDED
CLARITY THAT THE ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY LAW REMAINS AN
INDEPENDENT AND ALTERNATIVE
PROCESS FOR PUBLIC AGENCIES TO
DISPOSE OF THE PROPERTY. SECOND
IT MAKES NUMEROUS IMPROVEMENTS
TO THE SLA TO HELP LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ADVANCED DEVELOPMENT
WHILE AVOIDED AVOIDING NEEDLESS
DELAYS AND UNCERTAINTY. MORE
SPECIFICALLY ALLOWS LOCAL AGENCY
TO DISPOSE OF SURPLUS PROPERTY
FOR MIXED USE. PROJECTS WHICH
CONTAIN AT LEAST 25% OF IT YOU
UNITS AFFORDABLE TO LOW INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS THE BILL ALSO
CLARIFIES THAT LAND RETAINED BY
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FOR SEVERAL
PURPOSES INCLUDING BROADBAND
DEVELOPMENT. TRANSIT ORIENTED
DEVELOPMENT LAND FOR AIRPORTS
ARE PORTS. TIDELAND AND WASTE
ALL ALL QUALIFY FOR AGENCY USE-
IT TRANSFERRING THE PROPERTY
OVER FOR THOSE KINDS OF USES
WON'T IT VIOLATE THE SLA IN
OTHER WORDS- I HAD A SITUATION
IN A NUMBER OF MY CITIES WHERE
THERE WAS PROPERTY AVAILABLE AND
IT SAT. VACANT FOR EVER BECAUSE
THERE IT WAS NOT CLEAR WHETHER
THEY COULD USE THE PROPERTY FOR
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WHICH IS.
HOW IT HAD BEEN PURCHASED
ORIGINALLY OR WHETHER THEY HAD
TO GO THROUGH AN SLA PROCESS-
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY TO BUILD HOUSING
AND SUPPORT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES. BOTH
ARE CRITICAL COMPONENTS TO ISSUE
IT ENSURE THAT THAT HAPPENS BOTH
THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LAW AND
THE SURPLUS LANDS ACT. HOWEVER
THE LEGISLATURE HAS A
RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THE
LAWS PASSED DO NOT INADVERTENTLY
PUNISHED LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THAT
ARE GENERALLY GENUINELY WORKING
TO ADVANCE DEVELOPMENT THAT
SUPPORTS THE NEEDS OF THEIR
COMMUNITIES WITH ME TODAY TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT. AND
FACILITATE A CONVERSATION ABOUT
THE BILL IS ERIN LAUREL CITY
MANAGER OF WEST SACRAMENTO AND
JENNIFER MCLEAN- MOTO ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR FOR THE
CITY OF ONTARIO. THANK YOU NET.
WHEN THIS IS IF YOU CAN COME
FORWARD. THANK YOU A GOOD
MORNING CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF
COMMITTEE AGAIN MY NAMES ARE
LOWER ON THE CITY MANAGER WITH
SACRAMENTO. AUSSIES A BOARD
MEMBER AND A FORMER CHAIR OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION FOR LOCAL
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OR KHALLID-
OUR ORGANIZATION REPRESENTS
LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
PROFESSIONALS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE WHO ARE ENGAGED IN EFFORTS
TO IMPROVE. COMMUNITIES IN
PLACES LIKE WEST SACRAMENTO IN
ONTARIO. SPEAKING OF ONTARIO I'M
JOINED BY JENNIFER HERE MOST OF
THE ECONOMIC DAHLE DIRECTOR FOR
THAT CITY AND ALSO A CALIBER
MEMBER. OFFER SOME PERSPECTIVE
FROM TWO CITIES- ONE MUCH LARGER
ONE A LITTLE SMALLER OF THE BOTH
OF THE SAME MESSAGE THAT-
CALLOUS IS STRONGLY IN SUPPORT
OF SB SEVEN FORTY SEVEN BY
CENTER COPYRIGHT BECAUSE IT'LL
DO. THREE MAIN THINGS AND THE
SENATOR- REALLY- ALREADY
ARTICULATED THESE BUT FIRST AND
FOREMOST IT CLARIFIES THE
ABILITY TO USE THE ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY LAW. IT ALSO
PROVIDES IMPORTANT
CLARIFICATIONS TO WHAT IS AND
ISN'T COVERED BY THE SLA AND
THIRD INCLUDES A TRANSPARENCY
AND- DUE PROCESS PROCESS. I'M
TIRED OF CLAUSE WHERE-
PROPERTIES THAT ARE SUBJECT TO
THE SLA HAVE A HAVE A WAY TO GO
THROUGH- DUE PROCESS. AS THE
FIRST POINT I REALLY WENT INTO
SIZE THOUGH THE- THE IMPORTANCE
OF WHY DOES IT MATTER FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENT TO BE ABLE TO USE
THESE NEW TOOLS ESPECIALLY IN
THE PROPOSED REDEVELOPING
ENVIRONMENT. THAT'S BECAUSE
LOCAL COMMUNITIES ARE REALLY
YOUR MOST IMPORTANT DRIVERS OF
OUTCOMES THAT NEED TO HAPPEN IN
CALIFORNIA- THINGS LIKE
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
PATTERNS. AND BALANCE LOCAL
ECONOMIES. YOU CHEAP THOSE
OUTCOMES IN LARGE PART BY
BUILDING MORE DENSE INFILL
HOUSING BY BUILDING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING BUT ALSO BY RE PURPOSING
BROWNFIELDS DOING DOCTOR VIEWS
PROJECTS. AND BY BRINGING. JOBS
AND AMENITIES TO THOSE AREAS
WELL. FOR THOSE THINGS THAT.
CITIES NEED TO BE IN THE GAME AS
I LIKE TO SAY- WE NEED TO BE
MORE PORTLY BE ENCOURAGED TO
DIRECTLY INTERVENE IN THE
MARKET. A TO TAKE ON THOSE TOUGH
PROJECTS THE PRIVATE SECTOR JUST
WON'T TOUCH. FOR MANY YEARS.
FOLLOWING LOS REDEVELOPMENT SEES
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS STRUGGLED. TO
REBUILD THE TOOLS NEEDED TO DO
THAT. HOW TO TRANSFORM PLACES IN
ADDRESS ECONOMIC CHALLENGES AND
THANKFULLY THE LEGISLATURE
CREATED SEVERAL NEW TOOLS- IN
MANY CITIES ARE USING THOSE NOW
TO REINVEST IN PLACES LIKE WEST
ACKMAN'S RIVERFRONT ONTARIO'S
DOWNTOWN. AND MANY OTHER PLACES
THAT WE'VE CREATED LITERALLY
THOUSANDS OF- NEW UNITS IN
CAPACITY FOR MANY THOUSANDS
MORE- AND ALSO CENTRALLY LOCATED
JOBS AND IN MANY SUPPORT. OF
THAT TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT. OUR
CITIES AND MANY OTHERS ARE
STARTING TO USE THESE NEW TOOLS
THINGS LIKE YEAH IF THESE WERE
TAX INCREMENT FINANCING AND ALSO
THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY LAW
WHICH EMPOWERS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
WITH THE AUTHORITY TO ACQUIRE
DISPOSE OF PROPERTY. A MESS AS
THE TEARS CRIED. SB SEVEN FORTY
SEVEN PROVIDES GREATER CERTAINTY
FOR OUR- CITIES AND COUNTIES TO
UTILIZE THESE TOOLS. AND TO LEAD
THOSE REVITALIZATION EFFORTS IN
OUR COMMUNITIES. WE APPRECIATE-
THE CHAIRS EFFORTS TO CLARIFIED-
THE APPLICATION OF THE SLA. AND
DESPITE LANGUAGE ALREADY IN THE
US AWAY AND I'LL READ IT SAYS NO
PROVISION OF THIS ARTICLE SHALL
BE APPLIED WHEN IT CONFLICTS
WITH ANY OTHER PROVISION OF
STATUTORY LAW. IT IS STILL
BECOME VERY CHALLENGING FOR LOOK
GOVERNMENT UNDERSTAND WHAT'S
COVERED BY AND WHAT'S NOT. SO
LASTLY I'M ALWAYS CONFIDENT TO
STAND UP WAS SACRAMENTO IS A
STATEWIDE MODEL FOR HOW. TO DO
REINVESTMENT A REDEVELOPMENT IN
A STRATEGIC AND RESPONSIBLE WAY-
IN MY CITY HAD MULTIPLE EXAMPLES
THAT I CAN GIVE OF HOW THE SLAS
BECAUSE CONFUSION AND DELAYS- TO
SOME OTHERWISE REALLY GREAT
PROJECTS. THAT WOULD ADD MORE
INFILL HOUSING MORE AMENITIES
MORE INVESTMENT IN AFFORDABLE
HOUSING HIGH QUALITY JOBS. AND
INCLUDING ADAPTIVE REUSE PROJECT
OPENS THE STORE BUILDING BUT
I'LL JUST SAY THIS INSTEAD. THE
WORST THING ABOUT THE CURRENT
AND BEAUTY OF THE SLA. IS THAT
IT'S HAD A CHILLING EFFECT IT'S
THAT FEAR OF A PROCEEDING. I'M
IN THESE IN THESE ARE PROJECTS I
AND SO THESE ARE TRANSFORMATIVE
PROJECTS REALLY NEED TO MOVE
FORWARD THEY'RE HARD ENOUGH TO
GET GOING JUST WITH THE AMOUNT
OF MONEY AND TIME. IT TAKES. TO
ASSEMBLE AND TO. ENOUGH A TO
INFRASTRUCTURE. AND A LITTLE
FIND THE FOR. TO DO THAT. SO THE
LAST YOU WANT TO DO DISCOURAGE
LOOK LOOK GOVERNMENTS
INTERVENING IN TAKING ON THOSE
PROJECTS NOT TO WRAP IT UP WITH
THE SLAS DOING SIR. THANK YOU-
ELTERN JENNIFER FOR SOME
ADDITIONAL PERSPECTIVE THANK YOU
THANK YOU. XP GROUP PLEASE. GOOD
MORNING THANK YOU CHAIR AND
THANK YOU TO THE COMMITTEE FOR
YOUR TIME. I'M JENNIFER HERE
MOTO EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR THE
CITY OF ONTARIO. AND I ALSO
SERVE ON CALLOUS BOARD- AS WELL
AS CHAIR IT'S PROJECT
DEVELOPMENT AND FINANCE
DIVISION. I'M HERE TO OFFER A
LOCAL PERSPECTIVE AND TO TELL
YOU A STORY ABOUT. ONTARIO AND
LIKELY A PLACE THAT YOU CAN
RELATE TO IN THE COMMUNITIES IN
YOUR DISTRICT. I'M TERRY WAS A
GROWING CITY- OUR POPULATION IS
EXPECTED TO DOUBLE TO THREE
HUNDRED THOUSAND OVER THE NEXT
TWENTY YEARS. IT'S ALSO HOME TO
THE NATION'S FASTEST GROWING
AIRPORT WHICH CONTINUES TO BE A
MAJOR HUB OF EMPLOYMENT. AN
ONTARIO CONTINUES TO SEEK OUT
NEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
OPPORTUNITIES. OUT TO CREATE A
RANGE OF JOBS AND ENTITIES AND
HOMES TO MATCH THE DIVERSITY OF
THE COMMUNITY. ONTARIO SUPPORTS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND I WANT TO
OR UNDERSCORE THAT WE SUPPORT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN. THE CITY
REMAINS ONE OF THE MOST
AFFORDABLE COMMUNITIES FOR
MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. WE ARE
PROUD TO HAVE ADOPTED OUR
RECENTLY CERTIFIED HOUSING
ELEMENT WHICH ALLOWS THE
BUILDING OF OVER TWENTY THOUSAND
HOUSING UNITS. IN THE NEXT EIGHT
YEARS AND THIS INCLUDES
AFFORDABLE MARKET RATE SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES AND ADDRESSES THE
MISSING MIDDLE WHICH WE'VE HEARD
ABOUT EARLIER TODAY. BUT IN OUR
EFFORT TO CREATE A BALANCE
COMMUNITY AND SHE'S HOUSING WE
ALSO HAVE AREAS IN ONTARIO WHERE
NEIGHBORHOODS ARE BLIGHTED AND
PROPERTIES ARE UNDER UTILIZED.
WE NEED ONE PLACE DREADED USED
TO HELP RENOVATE THESE AREAS AND
CONTINUE TO BRING BACK MORE
BUSINESSES JOBS AND AMENITIES
FOR BUSINESSES. OR IN OUR
COMMUNITY. ONE SUCH AREA IS
DOWNTOWN ONTARIO WHICH WAS THE
CORE OF THE CITY WHEN IT WAS
FIRST FOUNDED BACK IN EIGHTEEN
HUNDREDS. AGAIN I'M SURE YOU
HAVE DOWNTOWNS IN YOUR
COMMUNITIES THAT YOU CAN RELATE
TO- THIS HISTORIC WALKABLE
AUTHENTIC DOWNTOWN WHILE
CHARMING. IT'S A GHOST TOWN
RIGHT NOW. ABSENTEE LANDOWNERS
UNREINFORCED MASONRY AND
HISTORIC PROPERTIES HAVE MADE IT
VERY COST PROHIBITIVE FOR
DEVELOPERS- TO COME IN AND FOR
US TO ATTRACT PRIVATE
INVESTMENT. AND TO CREATE A
VIBRANT DOWNTOWN. TODAY NEARLY
50% OF THE PROPERTIES ARE VACANT
AND IT REMAINS ONE OF THE
BIGGEST MISSED ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES NOT
JUST IN ONTARIO BUT I'D ARGUE IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THE CITY
HAS STARTED TO TAKE STEPS TO
ADDRESS THIS INCLUDING ACQUIRING
PROPERTY- AND WITH TOOLS LIKE
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY STATUTE WE
WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO
REVITALIZE DOWNTOWN ONTARIO.
WITHOUT IT THOSE PROPERTIES WILL
CONTINUE TO SIT VACANT JUST AS
WE'VE DISCUSSED. OUR DISPATCH
YOU ENABLES COMMUNITIES LIKE
ONTARIO TO FOCUS ON ADAPTIVE RE
USE OF HISTORIC BUILDINGS TO
REPURPOSE PUBLIC LOTS FOR
INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING-
ENDOCRINE NEW COMMERCIAL
AMENITIES THAT LEVERAGE
INVESTMENT AROUND TRANSIT HUBS.
UP CITIES AND COUNTIES IN
CLOSING I NEED TO HAVE CLARITY
THAT WE CAN USE THE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT TOOLS THE
LEGISLATURE HAS ADOPTED AND WE
APPRECIATE SB SEVEN FORTY SEVENS
EFFORT TO PROVIDE THAT. ON
BEHALF OF KHALLID WE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR AYE
VOTE ON SB SEVEN FORTY SEVEN

THANK YOU. THANK YOU I WANT TO
THANK THE AUTHOR BECAUSE I KNOW
THAT- WHEN YOU BRING A BILLS
LIKE THIS WHAT'S WHAT YOU'RE-
REALLY TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD
FOR OUR COMMUNITIES- THAT NEED
RESOURCES SO BADLY. AS YOU WERE
EXPLAINING THE WITNESSES WERE
EXPLAINING KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
LOOKING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THIS
BILL HE REMINDED ME OF THE
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY THAT WE
USED TO HAVE IN. ALL OUR CITIES
ACROSS ACROSS THE STATE AND
FRANKLY AFTER IT WAS DISMANTLED
I GOT TO APPRECIATE IT EVEN
MORE- THAN WHAT. DO YOU KNOW
THAN WHAT I THOUGHT AND PART OF
THAT I THINK THE REASON WAS THAT
IT WAS A COMBINED ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT WITH HOUSING IT WAS
A VERY IT WAS. FOR THE MOST PART
IT WAS A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH
TO. ISSUES OF ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING- AND I
REALLY FELT THE LOSS OF THAT
APPROACH- AFTER IT WAS AFTER IT
WAS DISMANTLED- SO I SEE HERE
NOW SORT OF A- BALANCING ACT YOU
KNOW BETWEEN ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT HOUSING AND THEN THE
OTHER THINGS THAT THAT WE NEED
IN OUR COMMUNITIES. I GUESS I'M
I WANT TO DIG INTO IT A WHOLE
LOT MORE THAN WHAT I WAS ABLE TO
DO- I'M SUPPORTING IT BECAUSE I
KNOW WHERE YOU'RE YOU'RE I THINK
I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM.
BUT I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND A
LITTLE BIT BETTER AND MAYBE
MAYBE WE'LL HAVE SOME
SUGGESTIONS FOR IT UP BY I THINK
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. IS
SOMETIMES A VERY- SUBJECTIVE YOU
KNOW- WAS VERY SUBJECTIVE
DEPENDING ON WHO YOU ARE THERE
WERE PROJECTS THAT WERE
CONSIDERED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
THAT WERE FAST FOOD YOU KNOW
RESTAURANT- THAT TO ME IS NOT
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE
JOBS AT A MINIMUM WAGE. YOU KNOW
TO- BUILD ON A BLIGHTED LOT IS
NOT SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO
MOVE THAT COMMUNITY FORWARD SO.
JUST JUST RAMBLING HERE WITH
OUR- THOUGHTS ABOUT IT BUT- IF
YOU IF THERE'S ANYTHING MORE YOU
WANNA. TELL ME WE COULD MEET YOU
KNOW- IN ADDITION TO TODAY'S
HEARING- BUT THAT'S JUST WHERE
I'M COMING FROM IS HOW DO WE
MAKE SURE. THERE IS A
COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH AND THAT
WE'RE NOT. LEAVE ENOUGH. LIVING
OFF THE TABLE I'M MORE OF A
COMMUNITY BENEFITS APPROACH.
ANYBODY ELSE. YEAH I JUST HAVE A
COUPLE COMMENTS. NUMBER ONE
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
RECOGNIZING THE NEED FOR THIS
TYPE OF THE BILL- PEOPLE HAVE
GOOD INTENTIONS WHEN THEY PASS
OUR BILLS. AS THEY GO THROUGH
FOR A COUPLE OF- YEARS OR THREE
OR FOUR YEARS WE START SEEING
SOME OF THE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES IN IT'S IMPORTANT
IF WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO HAVE
PUBLIC SUPPORT. THAT WE MAKE THE
ADJUSTMENTS THAT NEED TO BE MADE
SO THAT CITIES CAN BE
SUCCESSFUL- SO WITH THAT- AGAIN
THANK YOU- IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING
LIKE TO CLOSE WITH. ACTUALLY
CRYING- YEAH THANK YOU- SO- I'M
GONNA SUPPORT THIS TODAY IT'S
OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE COMING TO
HOUSING COMMITTEE AND I KNOW
WILL BE WORKING WITH THE AUTHOR.
ON THIS. SURPLUS PROPERTY THE
SURPLUS LANDS ACT I MEAN THIS IS
BEEN. A WORK IN PROGRESS- FOR A
NUMBER OF YEARS AND I KNOW FOR
EXAMPLE FILTERING HAS A BILL
THIS YEAR I BELIEVE THE TWO OF
YOU MAY HAVE SPOKEN. ALREADY AND
ALTMAN IS GONNA HAVE TO BE
COORDINATION. AMONG THESE BILLS
THIS BILL IS VERY VERY BROAD-
RIGHT NOW AND I KNOW- MUSEUM
THIS IS MY FAVORITE WORD TODAY
FROM THE US THE SURPLUS LANDS
ACT IS NOT BIBLICAL THERE WE
ALWAYS HAVE TO BE WILLING. AS A
AS WITH TAX POLICY WITH ONE OF
LOOK BACK AND SEE WHAT'S WORKING
WHAT'S NOT WORKING MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS HOUSING IS
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT. OBVIOUSLY
IT'S NOT THE ONLY THING AND
PROVIDING SOME ADDITIONAL
FLEXIBILITY AND- THEN TARGETED
CIRCUMSTANCES MAY MAKE SENSE- SO
WE'LL BE WORKING TOGETHER ON
THIS BILL I THINK THIS PROBABLY
NEEDS. TO BE SCULPTED AND I
KNOW- YOU KNOW YOU YOU KNOW I
I'M SORRY I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW
THAT OVER THE COURSE OF THE
PROCESS- I'D APPLY BE AN
EVOLUTION. SO MANY VOTE FOR

AREA- REDEVELOPMENT- THAT.
