YOUR AGENDA DOES A REALLY GOOD
JOB OF GROUPING ARE FLOOD
PROPOSALS TOGETHER AND I THINK
IT IS A- FINE JOB OF.
DELINEATING THE DIFFERENT SPOTS
BELIEVES OF THE DEPARTMENT- GIVE
YOU ARE HAS A PRIMARY
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE LEVEE
SYSTEMS OF THE SACRAMENTO AND
SAN JOAQUIN RIVER- RIVER SYSTEMS
THAT THE STATE AND FEDERAL
PROJECT LEVEES AS WE REFER TO
THEM. AND AS A RESULT YOU HAVE A
PROPOSAL FOR YOU THAT WOULD
FUND. OUR URBAN FLOOD RISK
REDUCTION. PROJECTS AND WORK ON
THAT THAT'S- MANY OF THE
PROJECTS YOU YOU MAY HAVE SEEN
AND HEARD. LEADING TO.
SACRAMENTO AREA WEST SACRAMENTO-
MOVING INTO THE WOODLAND AREA
STATE THROUGHOUT THE THROUGHOUT
THE SAN VALLEY THIS- SECOND
ANOTHER PROPOSAL HAVE BEFORE YOU
RELATES TO OUR FLOOD MAINTENANCE
WORK ON ANNUAL BASIS WE HAVE
RESPONSIBILITIES TO MAINTAIN THE
LEVEE SYSTEMS- AND WE HAVE-
MAINTENANCE YARDS OF STAFF WHO.
WHO LITERALLY ARE ARE OUT THERE.
AND THAT IS THERE THAT IS THEIR
SOLE TASK IS TO MAINTAIN THAT
LEVY SYSTEM- THESE LEVY SYSTEMS
THEY CONVERGE IN THE IN THE
DELTA. AND SO YOU HAVE TWO OTHER
PROPOSALS BEFORE YOU- YOU'VE GOT
TWELVE ONE OF THE PROPOSAL FOR
YOU WE'VE GOT TO OUR PROPOSAL
RELATING TO- THE DELTA HABITAT
AND- AND OUR SPECIAL PROJECTS-
AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM IN THE
DELTA- TO PROGRAMS THAT ARE.
FIFTY YEARS OLD- TO ASSIST LOCAL
LETTING MAINTENANCE- MAINTAINERS
IN MAINTAINING THEIR LIVES ON
ANNUAL BASIS AND PREVENTING THE
TYPES OF FAILURES THAT USED TO
BE. MUCH MORE COMMON IN THE
THOSE LEVY SYSTEMS THAT'S ONE OF
THE PROPOSES YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
BEFORE YOU- ARE CENTRALIZED
FLOOD PROTECTION PLAN DOCUMENT
THAT WAS CREATED- CAME OUT OF
THE- SB FIVE BY FORMER SENATOR
CHATEAUX IN BACK IN TWO THOUSAND
SEVEN- ARE PROPOSAL HERE WOULD
FUND THE TWO THOUSAND TWENTY
SEVEN ITERATION OF THAT PLAN.
THAT PLAN- DELINEATES THE
PROGRESS WE'VE MADE- IN AN
IMPROVING LEVY SYSTEMS WHERE
THEY'RE STILL NEEDS WHAT WHAT
THE FACILITIES THE MAKE UP OF
THE FACILITIES ARE AND THE
PARTNERSHIPS ASSOCIATED WITH
WITH THAT EFFORT SO. THAT'S ONE
OF THE PROPOSAL YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE BEFORE YOU AND I MENTION
THE CENTRALLY FLOOD PROTECTION
BOARD- WHO IS ALSO HERE WITH US
TODAY THEY HAVE A PROPOSAL FOR
YOU THAT RELATES TO THEIR
ASSISTANCE WITH- WITH-
MAINTAINING AGENCIES- AND SO.
PRESIDENT OR PRESIDENT JANE
DOLAN IS HERE AND THERE NEW
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CHRIS LEAF IF
. YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THEM AS
WELL- I WOULD SAY ALSO THAT. THE
SACRAMENTO- PRIMARILY SACRAMENTO
RIVER SYSTEM HAS HISTORICALLY
RELIED UPON THE YOLO BYPASS AND
ARE BYPASS SYSTEMS COULD TAKE
THOSE WATERS OUT OF THE RIVER.
AND PREVENT DAMAGE ALONG THE
LEVEE SYSTEMS- YOU HAVE A
PROPOSAL BEFORE US TODAY THAT
REALLY THAT DEALS WITH. SOME
REVIEW US SOME WORK ON THE YOLO
BYPASS BUT ALSO TALKING ABOUT
THE PARADISE CUT PROJECT WHICH
IS DOWN ON THE SAN JOAQUIN
RIVER- AND WOOD- PROVIDE GREAT
BENEFITS TO THE CITY OF
STOCKTON. SO THIS IS A ANOTHER
VERY IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF WHAT
OUR DEPARTMENT IS WORKING ON-
AND I MENTION THE YOLO BYPASS. I
BUT I DON'T WANT TO I DON'T WANT
TO BE REMISS EMISSIONS OF THE
LAST OF OUR PROPOSALS WHICH
RELATES TO A SOME STUDIES ON THE
YELLOW- THE BILL A BY PASS
PARTICULARLY- IN THIS HOLE IN
DOWN IN SOLANO COUNTY WHERE
THOSE WATERS. DO JOIN INTO THE
DELTA SO THAT. KIND OF IS A
BROAD OVERVIEW OF THE PACKAGE OF
SEVEN PROPOSALS YOU HAVE UNDER
UNDER THIS ITEM- AND- STEVE IS
HERE HE CAN DISCUSS SOME OF THE
SPECIFICS AS I MENTIONED- BOARD
PRESIDENT GOLAN IS HERE. AND IF
YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR US
WE'D BE HAPPY TO- TO RESPOND. I
THANK YOU. X. AN OVERVIEW-
DISBURSEMENTS ANYTHING TO ADD
NOT THIS TIME. THE QUICKNESS
PEDIGREE YOU. THE COMPLEJO. FOR
ANY PRODUCT FROM THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S COULD- WE WOULD JUST
NOTE THAT ALTOGETHER THE PER.
FOR THE VERY FLOOD PROJECT STATE
STATE OPERATIONS MAINTENANCE
WOULD COMMIT THE STATE TO
SIGNIFICANT DISCRETIONARY
SPENDING IN THE BUDGET YEAR AS
WELL AS IN THE NEXT SEVERAL
YEARS. AND OF COURSE WE KNOW
THAT THE STATE'S EXPERIENCING
NOT AN INSIGNIFICANT BUDGET
PROBLEM THAT IS- MOST LIKELY
WORSE THAN WHAT WAS PROJECTED IN
JANUARY. SO THIS- DOES IN FACT
MEAN THAT THE STATE CANNOT FROM
THINGS THAT IT HAS ALREADY
COMMITTED TO AND THAT EACH
DOLLAR OF NEW SPENDING REALLY
MEANS A DOLLAR- AWAY FROM
SOMETHING THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED. SO IN THIS CONTEXT-
WE'D SUGGEST THE LEGISLATURE
APPLY A HIGHER STANDARD FOR
APPROVING ANY NEW SPENDING
PROPOSALS BASED ON HOW URGENT-
THE PROPOSAL IS. AND WHETHER THE
BENEFITS OF THOSE PROPOSALS SORT
OF OUTWEIGH THE BENEFITS OF
PREVIOUSLY APPROVED COMMITMENTS-
OUR OFFICE DOES THINK THAT THESE
FLOOD PROPOSALS MEET THAT HIGHER
THRESHOLD. FOR SEVERAL REASONS
FIRST- THEY RESPOND TO VARIOUS
CRITICAL FLOOD PROTECTION AND
RISK MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO PROTECT
PUBLIC SAFETY. AS WELL AS KEY
STATEWIDE WATER CONVEYANCE
INFRASTRUCTURE. A LOT OF THESE
PROJECTS ALSO HELP THE STATE
DRAW DOWN FEDERAL FUNDING- A
NUMBER OF THE PROJECTS ARE
CONDUCTED IN COLLABORATION WITH
THE US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS
AND THE PROPOSALS WOULD.
ESSENTIALLY PROVIDE THE STATE
COST SHARE FOR THOSE- PROPOSALS
OR CREATE CREDITS- THAT COULD BE
APPLIED TO FUTURE- PROJECTS WITH
THE US ARMY CORPS. WE WOULD ALSO
NOTE THAT THE FUNDING FOR TO
SUPPORT DELTA LEVEES- WOULD
SUPPORT PROJECTS THAT HAVE BUT
BEEN IDENTIFIED BY THE DELTA
STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL. AS BEING
VERY HIGH PRIORITY BASED ON RISK
ASSESSMENTS. AND THEN FINALLY WE
JUST NOTE THAT THE FUNDING
REQUESTED AS PRIMARILY ONE TIME
IN NATURE WHICH MEANS THAT EVEN
EVEN THE FUNDING THAT'S FOR
PROJECTS THAT ARE CONTINUING.
AND WHAT THIS MEANS IS THAT THE
STRUCTURE OF THAT FUNDING MEANS
THAT THE LEGISLATURE CAN
CONSIDER FUTURE SPENDING WITHIN
THE CONTEXT OF A GIVEN BUDGET
YEAR- FOR SO FOR THOSE REASONS
WE SUGGEST THE LEGISLATURE
CONSIDER APPROVING THESE FLOOD
RELATED PROPOSALS. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. WELL I KNOW THAT- THE
STATE- HAS GOOD INSURANCE TO
COVER GOVERNMENT TO OVERSEE THIS
THE- THE FLOOD CONTROL- PLAN
ALONG. THE MAIN SEVEN AND THE
CHURCH IS THE SACRAMENTO SAN
JOAQUIN RIVER SO WE HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY HERE AND WE DO
KNOW MANY LEVEES ARE FAILING- AT
WHAT. AS WE KNOW MANY OF THE
MUCH OF THE LAND OF THE LEVEES-
ARE PRIVATELY OR LOCALLY OWNED-
WHAT. HOW MUCH MONEY IS NEEDED
TO ENSURE THE SEVEN HUNDRED
THIRTY MILES OF PRIVATELY.
LOCALLY OWNED LEVEES REMAIN
FUNCTIONAL. SURE SO- THE
DEPARTMENT WATER RESOURCES HAS
BEEN WORKING WITH THE LOCAL
RECLAMATION DISTRICT AND
LANDOWNERS FOR ABOUT FIFTY YEARS
NOW TO- IDENTIFY PRIORITY
PROJECTS AND- ESTIMATE THAT
COSTS NECESSARY TO ADDRESS-
DELTA LEVY RISKS- AND TO PROVIDE
FUNDING FOR THEM TO ADDRESS
THOSE THOSE PARTY RISKS AND-
ALSO FIT WITHIN THE CAPACITY OF
THEIR ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT
PROJECTS AND SINCE THE-
BEGINNING OF THE PROGRAM THE
DELTA LEVEES OF VENTURES PROGRAM
THE DELTA LEVY SPECIAL PROJECTS
PROGRAM. THE NUMBER OF DAMAGING
LEVEE BREACHES HAD TO BEEN
DRAMATICALLY REDUCED AND SO MANY
TOWNS AND FARMS HAVE BEEN SAVED
FROM FROM THOSE DAMAGES AND SO
THE AMOUNT VARIES BY YEAR
DEPENDING ON ON THE NEEDS OF THE
DISTRICTS AND LANDOWNERS AND
WHAT CAPACITY THEY HAVE TO-
IMPLEMENT. MMHM AT THE STATE-
PRIORITIZE. OF STATE TWENTY FOR
NON STATE- PLAN FLOOD CONTROL
PROJECTS. WELL I WOULD I WOULD-
IN IN PART ANSWER AND IN THAT
CASE YOU CAN FOLLOW UP THAT THE-
THE LET THE DELTA LEVEES-
PROTECT SIGNIFICANT STATE
INTERESTS- THROUGHOUT THE DELTA
WHETHER IT'S- PUBLIC SAFETY- OF
THE WATER CONVEYANCE SYSTEM.
WATER QUALITY- IN OTHER
IMPORTANT INFRASTRUCTURE
PIPELINES AND ROADWAYS AND AN
ELECTRICAL- OUR DOORS SO THERE'S
A IT'S A SIGNIFICANT STATE
INTEREST AND IN SUPPORTING THE
LOCALS TO PROTECT THOSE LEVEES
AND THAT THAT THAT
INFRASTRUCTURE. THANK YOU. AND I
WOULD JUST ADD TO THAT SAYING
THE PRIMARILY THOUGH OUR
INVESTMENT IS IN THOSE LEVEES
WHERE THE STATE HAS THE OTHER
THE LAND OWNERSHIP OR AND OR THE
RESPONSIBILITY TO MAINTAIN
THOSE- THE DELTA HAS ITS HAS
ITS- HAS ITS OWN. UNIQUE
SITUATION BECAUSE OF ITS-
SPECIAL NEEDS AND IMPORTANCE TO
THE STATE BROADLY- AND THEN
BEYOND THAT I KNOW WITH OUR
DEPARTMENT HAS HAS DONE SOME
WORK ASSISTING WITH YOU KNOW
WITH MORE CENTRAL VALLEY LOCAL
SMALL COMMUNITY GRANTS. AND THE
LIKES OF THAT BUT FOR THE MOST
PART THE DELTA IS REALLY THE ONE
PLACE THAT WE DO FOCUS- SOME
STATE ASSISTANCE AND IT DOES
COME WITH A LOCAL COST SHARE AS
WELL I MEAN IT'S NOT. IT'S NOT-
JUST AS A STATE FUNDED PROGRAM
SO- WE WE'VE WE'VE FOUND I MEAN
IT'S LIKE EIGHT LIKE STEVE
MENTIONED IT'S BEEN STATUTES
SINCE I THINK NINETEEN SEVENTY
THREE. THE PROGRAMS- AND HAVE-
HAVE DONE GREAT WORK TO KEEP THE
DELTA- OUT OF THE WATER US IT IS
BEING. ALL RIGHT WELL THANK YOU
I DO BELIEVE THESE- THESE ITEMS
ARE CRITICAL INJURIES CENTER
DOLLY. S. THANK YOU I JUST TO.
LOT OF THIS IS FOCUSED ON- THE
NORTH PART OF THE STATE I KNOW
THAT YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE
THAN JUST. THE NORTH PART OF
STATE OBVIOUSLY THE DELTA AND-
M. MOST OF THE WATER COMES FROM
THE NORTH AND- CENTRAL BUT I
WANTED TO- JUST THIS IS THE
OVERALL QUESTION I KNOW THAT
WE'RE SEEING- YOU KNOW EXTREME
DROUGHT. STREAMFLOW LIKE WORK
EXPERIENCE RIGHT NOW AND WE'RE
SEEING STE- WE'RE SEEING STUFF
LIKE INTO LARRY WE'RE WE'RE
WE'RE ACTUALLY IN A WATER AND-
SO AND THEN ALSO I WAS SPEAKING
WITH SENATOR JONES AND SENATOR
PER DHEA TODAY ABOUT. THE ISSUES
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WHERE
THEY HAVE. STRUCTURES THAT ARE
NEEDING MAGNETS THAT- THEY CAN'T
GET TO FULL CAPACITY SO THERE
TALK ABOUT LOCAL BONDS THERE'S
SOME TALK ABOUT A BOND- I THINK
EGGMAN MIGHT HAVE A BOND COMING
FORTH- WATER BOND SO I JUST
WANTED TO KIND OF GET AN OVERALL
SENSE OF- WHAT YOU SEE AS FAR AS
STATEWIDE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE
THAT'S- CERTAINLY THERE THAT
NEEDS MAINTENANCE THAT WOULD DO
A BETTER JOB AND- ALSO RETAINING
WATER MANAGING WATER IF WE WERE
ABLE TO- FOCUS ON THOSE. AND NOT
SO MUCH NEW STUFF I'VE BEEN
FOCUSED ON TRYING TO GET
OBVIOUSLY NEW STORAGE. AND THE
NORTH STATE BUT ACROSS THE STATE
WE HAVE A LOT OF THE STRUCTURES
THAT TORE. A NEED OF REPAIR SO
COULD YOU TOUCH ON THAT FOR JUST
A LITTLE BIT OF LIKE IT WHAT
YOUR WHAT YOU SEE. MAYBE
SOMETHING THAT THAT THE
LEGISLATURE SHOULD BE THINKING
ABOUT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO SEE
THE CYCLES CONTINUE. YOU WANT TO
START BUT- SO MUCH OF THE- WORK
IN INVESTMENT THAT D. W. R.
MANAGES FOR FLOOD MANAGEMENT IS
IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY. GIVEN
THE- AUTHORITIES- OF STATUE TO
FOCUS ON THE START VALLEY
DEVELOP THE CENTER VALLEY FLOOD
PLAN AND IMPLEMENT THAT THAT.
FLOOD PLAN WE DO HAVE A
STATEWIDE FOCUS AS WELL IN IN-
IN ANOTHER PROGRAM. THAT HAS NOT
BEEN- EXTREMELY ACTIVE IN IN
RECENT YEARS BUT WE ARE IN THE
PROCESS OF DEVELOPING PLANS TO.
TO HAVE A GREATER REACH OUTSIDE
OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY- INCLUDING
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THE
COASTAL. COASTAL AREAS AS WELL-
AND SO I THINK THERE'S MORE TO
MORE TO CALM IN THAT IN THAT
REALM. I WOULD JUST ADD ON THE
FACILITIES THAT YOU MENTIONED
AND THE SWINGS OF- CLEMENT
WHETHER THAT WERE EXPERIENCING.
MUCH OF THE WORK THAT D. W. R.
AND PARTNERS AT THE- CENTRALLY
FLIPBOARD AND LOCAL RECLAMATION
DISTRICTS AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN.
TRYING TO- TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
LINK BETWEEN- WATER SUPPLY
STORAGE AND FLOOD MANAGEMENT
THROUGH FLOOD MANAGED- AQUIFER
RECHARGE AND OTHER STRATEGIES
TO- RE OPERATE OUR BIG
RESERVOIRS. WITH AN IMPROVED
FLOOD SYSTEM DOWNSTREAM SUCH
THAT THERE'S MORE ROOM IN THE
BIG RESERVOIRS TO STORE WATER
FOR WATER SUPPLY. AND LESS
DAMAGING RISK DOWNSTREAM IN THE
IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY THAT'S A
BIG FOCUS OF- DID OF YOURS GOING
FORWARD AS WELL. WELL YOU KINDA
LETTER TO MY NEXT QUESTION
BECAUSE YOU KNOW THE GOVERNOR
DID AN EXECUTIVE ORDER TO. YOU
KNOW MOST OF THE CITIES WERE
BUILT. FOR FLOOD CONTROL- AND
NOT OPERATE IT THEY WERE
OPERATED FOR FLOOD CONTROL NOT
OPERATED FOR MAXIMUM YIELD OF
WATER ALWAYS- AND SO. I KNOW THE
GOVERNOR DID AN EXECUTIVE ORDER
TO HELP MANAGE TO REACH LOOK AT
LOOK AT A DIFFERENT WAY HOW WE
MANAGE RESIDENT I JUST DID A
TOUR- OF YUBA COUNTY WATER
AGENCY LAST WEEK AND- AND THE
FREE BOARD ON THE ON THE- ON THE
RESERVOIRS. IS THERE FOR A
REASON SO WHEN YOU HAVE THESE
RAINS AND FLOOD YOU HAVE ROOM TO
STORE THE WATER YOU DON'T FLOOD
DOWNSTREAM. BUT WITH WITH
ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS IN AN ARM
ABILITY TO BUILD A MODEL. AND IT
WILL END YOU KNOW TECHNOLOGY HAS
CHANGED SINCE NINETEEN SEVENTY
THREE. SO MUCH TO WHERE WE CAN
ACTUALLY SEE THE STORMS COMING
IN WE CAN NO. EVEN A WEEK IN
ADVANCE. WHAT WE COULD START
RELEASING WATER IF WE THINK
WE'RE GOING TO GET HIT OR- IF
WE'RE IN A DROUGHT PERIOD WE CAN
HOLD THAT WATER BACK WHICH
SHOULD BE BENEFITS USED FOR THE
ENVIRONMENT FOR- YOU KNOW ALL
THOSE OTHER USES THAT WE NEED
WATER FOR SO- I WAS ON THE ANGLE
BRIGHT. WAS WAS AND THEY THEY
HAVE A PROJECT THERE THAT. IF
THEY PUT IN A- THESE TWO ARE
MILLION DOLLARS WITH THE
OVERFLOW. THEY CAN ACTUALLY MOVE
THEIR FREE BOARD UP NOT NOT MAKE
THE- DR HIGHER BUT JUST FILLED
UP MORE BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE
ABILITY TO GET RID OF THE WATER.
AND SO. I KNOW WHAT THROUGHOUT
THE STATE THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES
LIKE THAT AND SO BEING ABLE TO
LOOK AT THAT. AND FIGURE OUT I
MEAN IF YOU ADD. AT THE TOP OF
THE RESERVOIRS WHERE YOU GET THE
MOST AMOUNT YOUR WATER RIGHT
BECAUSE IT'S LIKE A FINAL. THE
TOP IS THE LAST TEN FEET CAN BE
IN ON SHASTA. IS LIKE A MILLION
ACRE FEET OF WATER RIGHT WHICH
IS VERY CRITICAL TO HAVE LATER
IN THE SEASON. OR MAYBE YEARS
DOWN THE LINE WE SEE THESE NICE
THESE BIG SWINGS. SO I JUST
WANTED TO. PUT THAT THOUGHT
THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE LOOKING
AT THE GOVERNOR ACTUALLY DID AN
EXECUTIVE ORDER TO TRY TO MANAGE
OUT. ANOTHER SOME SYSTEMS IN
PLACE I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT
THAT. AS YOU KNOW NOT THE
LEGISLATIVE BODY BUT ALSO THAT.
YOU FOLKS THAT ARE OPERATING AND
LOOK AT THESE MODELS ALONG WITH
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO. TO
MAXIMIZE THE YIELD. AT THE SAME
TIME MANAGING THE RISK. OF
OBVIOUSLY. YOU KNOW. FLOODING
SITUATIONS THAT WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE SO I WANTED TO JUST. I WANT
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT
BECAUSE I THINK WE HAVE A- GREAT
OPPORTUNITY. TO GET BETTER
YIELDS OUT OF OUR- EXISTING-
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE SO I
JUST WANNA BRING THAT TO LIGHT.
AND SENATE YOU MAKING. AN
EXCELLENT POINT- THAT CONCEPT
THAT WE ARE IMPLEMENTING UNDER
THAT IS COLD. FORECAST INFORMED
RESERVOIR OPERATIONS. SO IT IT
ALLOWS- ORVILLE IS CURRENTLY
WORKING WITH THE ARMY CORPS OF
ENGINEERS TO HAVE OUR OUR-
OPERATIONS MANUAL RE WRITTEN.
THAT ALLOWS THAT FLEXIBILITY
BECAUSE WE CAN SEE. FURTHER OVER
THE HORIZON ON ON STORM SYSTEMS.
YOU CAN GET A BETTER SENSE. LAKE
MENDOCINO- THAT WAS ACTUALLY THE
EXECUTIVE ORDER WAS RIGHT. RIGHT
LAKE MEANT LAKE MENDOCINO
REQUIRE HAS THE EAR OF THE
GOVERNOR BETTER THAN WE- WANT TO
SEE IT WAS IT WAS THE FIRST TO
KIND OF LOOK AT THAT. SO THAT-
AND A. FORMER COLLEAGUE OF
YOURS- ALSO STILL. THE NORTH UP
PART OF STATE- CONGRESSMAN THE
MALL FOR A- HAVING CONVERSATIONS
ABOUT. THE NEED TO ADVANCE OF
SOME OF THOSE- SOME OF THOSE
EFFORTS- BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT
IT'LL- YOU WHETHER OR NOT IT'S
ACTUAL REAL FREE BOARD- OF
SPACE. BUT IT'S OR WHETHER IT'S-
KNOWING. HOW MUCH MORE WITH MORE
ACCURACY HOW MUCH. SPACE IS
NEEDED- THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT
AND WE'RE WE'RE HAVING VERY GOOD
SUCCESS- MOVING THAT FORWARD.
RIGHT SO WHAT'S THE ACRONYM FOR
ITS FERRO. IS THE GUY THAT TOOK
US ON THE TOUR WAS TALKING ABOUT
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT. IT WAS.
IT WAS A SYSTEM OUT THERE THAT
ALLOWS US TO BE ABLE TO TRACK
THE STORMS IN AND DO A LOT
BETTER JOB OF MANAGING OUR WATER
SO I'M- EXCITED TO HEAR THAT
YOU'RE DOING THAT- SOMEBODY
REPRESENTS OR MILAN SHASTA
FULSOME. OBVIOUSLY BUT THE TWO
BIG ONES OR WILL JUST I MEAN YOU
TALK ABOUT. YOU KNOW THREE FEET
ON SHASTA IS YOU KNOW PROBABLY
HALF A MILLION ACRE FEET OF
WATER AT THE TOP. RIGHT SO-
AWESOME TO HEAR THAT. AND I
WOULD JUST ADD THAT THERE'S A
REALLY IMPORTANT CONNECTION THAT
YOU'VE ALLUDED TO BETWEEN THE
FREE OPERATION THE FLOOD.
FORECAST INFORMED RESERVOIR
OPERATION AND THE DOWNSTREAM
FLOOD SYSTEM TO THE EXTENT THAT
WE CAN. IMPROVE THE CAPACITY OF
THE FLOOD SYSTEM THE RIVERS AND
CHANNELS DOWNSTREAM AND PROTECT
THE PUBLIC SAFETY THAT PROVIDES
THE RESERVOIR OPERATORS GREATER
FLEXIBILITY. TO HOLD BACK WATER
AS STORMS APPROACH AND WHEN
THERE'S A BETTER IDEA OF HOW
MUCH PRECEPT AND RUN OFF THERE
WILL BE- THAT THE DANCE AT THE
RESERVOIRS CAN RELEASE. GREATER
AMOUNTS OF WATER IF NECESSARY OR
HOLD BACK DEPENDING ON THE
FORECAST SO IT'S A REALLY
IMPORTANT CONNECTION DATE THAT
YOU FIVE BROUGHT UP RIGHT IN THE
WAS IT I THINK IT WAS THE YEAR
BEFORE LAST THAT. WE SAW EARLY
ON- WET. AND THEN IT JUST THE
SPEC IT SHUT OFF AND THEY WERE
RELEASING THAT WATER THAT WE
COULD BE USED RIGHT LATER ON AND
SO. THOSE ARE ALL OBVIOUSLY I
THINK. THINGS I'M HAPPY TO SEE
US DO AND I KNOW THE UP TO WORK
WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NOT
BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST AS A SIDE.
ONE LAST THING- SO- WITH THE
CONTRACTORS IN LIFE SO THAT FOR
EXAMPLE THE ISSUE WE HAD WITH
THE SPILLWAY OF OROVILLE DAM. IN
TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN. AS FAR AS
LIKE. GETTING THOSE BUT I HAVE
NO RECOLLECTION OF THAT. YEAH SO
. I HAVEN'T FORGOT YET. SO WITH
THE MAIDEN AND THOSE TYPES WITH
THE CONTRACTORS OBVIOUSLY- THE
MAT AND THOSE ARE THOSE FOLKS
ARE PART OF THAT SITUATION HOW
WE LOOKING ON ON. GETTING THAT
TAKEN CARE OF THE MAINTENANCE
ISSUES AND THAT'S OUT THERE. ON
THESE ON THESE PROJECTS. SO THE
DEPARTMENT WATER RESOURCES
OBVIOUSLY COMPLETELY REVAMPED-
THE SPILLWAY YEAH- BUT ALSO THE
PROCEDURES ASSOCIATE WITH THAT
SO I YOU KNOW I WOULD SAY WE
HAVE A LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE- I
THINK WE NEED TO DEMONSTRATE
THAT TO THE PUBLIC. THAT THAT
THAT IS THE CASE- BUT STATEWIDE
YOU'RE YOU'RE ACTUALLY IN HERE-
ANOTHER ITEM TALKING ABOUT-
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE TO
IMPLEMENT A DAM SAFETY PROGRAM-
THAT THAT KIND OF GETS THAT FOR
OTHER DAM OWNERS OF THE STATE
SO- THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING
THAT THAT IS A HIGHEST PRIORITY.
AND YOU KNOW IN IN THIS
PARTICULAR IN LIGHT OF THE
OROVILLE SPILLWAY INCIDENT
TWENTY. SEVENTEEN OKAY THANK YOU
. ONE I WILL THANK YOU I'M FOR
BEING HERE AND SHE'S QUESTIONS
IMPROVE OFFER PRESENTATION- WE
WROTE. HOLD OPEN RECOMMENDATION-
AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT
ISSUE. WHICH IS ISSUE EIGHT. ON
DAM SAFETY AND FLOOD MANAGEMENT
GRANT PROGRAM.
THE DIVISION MANAGER TAPI. YES
EXCELLENT I'M- LUCKY'S YOU BE
PRESENTING THIS IS ONE JUST IN
CASE THE OTHER QUESTIONS OKAY
OKAY PRINT. YOU'RE A. GO HAVE
ALREADY ALL RIGHT GOOD MORE AS
MR TO CENTER- MY NAME ASSURE
TAPIA. AND I AM THE MAN OF
DIVISION OF SAFETY A WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES.
ISSUE EIGHT IS A REQUEST FROM
THE DEPARTMENT FOR TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE TO ESTABLISH A DAM
SAFETY AND FLOOD MANAGEMENT
GRANT PROGRAM. AT THE DIVISION
OF SAFETY OF DAMS AND WORD MORE
COMMONLY KNOWN AS DSO D. AND SO
THAT'LL BE HOW WILL BE REFERRING
TO OUR OUR ORGANIZATION WE
REGULATE THE SAFETY OF
APPROXIMATELY TWELVE HUNDRED AND
FORTY DOWN STATEWIDE. AND THESE
ARE DAMS THAT ARE NON FEDERALLY
OWNED. THE AVERAGE AGE OF DAMS
IN CALIFORNIA IS SEVENTY YEARS
OLD AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE SOME
THAT ARE A HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE
YEARS OLD. SO DSO D. PROVIDES
INDEPENDENT OVERSIGHT OF THE
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF DAMS
INCLUDING NEW CONSTRUCTION AND
THE ENLARGEMENT REPAIR
ALTERATION AND REMOVAL OF
EXISTING DAMS. WE ANNUALLY
INSPECT DAMS TO ENSURE THAT
OWNERS ARE PROPERLY MAINTAINING
DANCE SAFE CONDITION. AS PART OF
OUR WORK WE EVALUATE THE
CONDITIONS OF DAMS BASED ON HOW
AND WHEN THEY WERE CONSTRUCTED.
THE GEOLOGY THAT UNDERLIES THEM
AND THE ABILITY OF THE
STRUCTURES TO PERFORM ADEQUATELY
UNDER VARYING LOADING CONDITIONS
AND THIS IS REALLY ALL VERY
UNIQUE TO EACH STRUCTURE. AS IS
THE COST TO REPAIR EACH
STRUCTURE. FOR VALUATIONS WE
HAVE NOW IDENTIFIED OVER ONE
HUNDRED DANCING CALIFORNIA THAT
FOR RATED LESS THAN SATISFACTORY
CONDITION. MEANING THEY HAVE
SOME DAM SAFETY ISSUE THAT
REQUIRES INNOVENT INTERVENTION
TO REMEDY THAT DEFICIENCY TO
REDUCE THE RISKS TO THE PUBLIC.
THE TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE THAT
YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU WOULD
ESTABLISH A PROGRAM TO UTILIZE A
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN
FUNDING. THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED BY THE LEGISLATURE TO
ASSIST DAM OWNERS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA TO START AT TO BEGIN
ADDRESSING THEIR DAM SAFETY
ISSUES. THE LANGUAGE LIMITS THE
FUNDING TO DAMS THAT ARE SUBJECT
TO STATE TO DO CITY'S
JURISDICTION. MEANING THEY ARE
OF A CERTAIN SIZE AND AGAIN THEY
ARE NOT FEDERALLY OWNED DAMS.
THE LANGUAGE DIRECTS THE FUNDING
TO FIX DEFICIENCIES TO ENSURE
THE PROTECTION OF PUBLIC SAFETY
RESTORE WATER LOSS CAUSED BY THE
DEFICIENCIES MEANING WE OFTEN
PUT A RESTRICTION ON A IF AS IF
IT HAS A DISTRICT DEFICIENCY.
AND SO TO BE THAT ALLOW THAT
OWNER TO BRING THAT BACK UP TO
NORMAL OPERATION. AND THE
LANGUAGE REQUIRES A 50% MATCH
COSTS BUT IT DOES ALLOW THIS TO
BE WAIVED IF THE DEFICIENCY
POSES AN UNACCEPTABLE RISK TO
THE PUBLIC AND THE DAM OWNERS
ARE FINANCIALLY. UNABLE TO MEET
THE NEED. M. AS THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS NOTES THE ASSOCIATION
OF STATE DAM SAFETY OFFICIALS-
OF WHICH I AM ACTUALLY THE
CALIFORNIA STATE REPRESENTATIVE
ON. THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED NEARLY
A TWO BILLION DOLLAR NEED FOR
CALIFORNIA'S DAMS. M. AND
ACTUALLY THE NUMBERS THAT WE
HAVE A FACTUAL PROJECTS BEING
PROPOSED IS HIGHER THAN THAT
RIGHT NOW. AT THIS PROGRAM WILL
PROVIDE AN IMPORTANT FIRST STEP
TOWARD FIXING THE MOST PRESSING
PROBLEMS IN THE STATE WITH OUR
DANCE. I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE ANY
ASSISTANCE ADD TO YOU TODAY WITH
ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS THAT YOU
MAY HAVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH-
LET'S SEE RESPECTED YOU. THANKS
FOR THE. THANK YOU SONYA PADDOCK
WITH THE L. A- YOUR BUDGET SUB
COMMITTEE STAFF DID RAISE A
NUMBER OF IMPORTANT QUESTIONS IN
THE AGENDA AND BEYOND THAT WE
DON'T HAVE ANY ADDITION
ADDITIONAL. WE HAVE NOTHING
ADDITIONAL TO ADD THANK YOU TO
CONFIRM NOTHING FINANCE. TO SEE
WHAT. TO ME IT WAS A TIME WHEN
FOR EMPLOYMENT. OF THIS GRANT
PROGRAM. THE IDEA IS TO ONCE
THIS IS APPROVED TO IMMEDIATELY
START DEVELOPING GUIDELINES FOR
THE PROGRAM AND TO THEN SOLICIT
APPLICATIONS AND FROM DAM
OWNERS. WITH THE GOAL OF HAVING
GRANT AGREEMENT STARTING- BY THE
END OF THE NEXT BY THE END OF
THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR. INTO THIS
NEXT FISCAL YEAR. ABOUT HOW MANY
PROJECTS APPROXIMATELY DO YOU
THINK. YOUR FUNDED SO RIGHT NOW
THE- I BELIEVE IN THE BUDGET
IT'S BROKEN UP INTO TWO SECTIONS
AT TWENTY FIVE MILLION IN A
SEVENTY FIVE MILLION. AND SO IT
WILL VARY ON THE TYPE OF
PROJECTS- SO SMALL PROJECTS CAN
RANGE FROM SAY FIVE FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS TO REPLACE A VALVE A
MEDIUM SIZE PROJECT FOR GETTING
UP IN THE FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS
FOR PROJECT. AND THEN ARE WE OF
LARGE PROJECTS OBVIOUSLY LIKE
THE ANDERSON DAM IT WHICH IS
GOING TO BE WELL OVER A BILLION
DOLLARS. SO IT REALLY WILL
DEPEND ON HOW MANY DAM OWNERS
SUPPLY AND THE COST OF THE
PROJECTS THAT THEY'RE APPLYING
FOR IN THE INTENT IS. BECAUSE
THIS IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY
TO START WITH OBVIOUSLY IS TO-
UTILIZE IT FOR THE BENEFIT IS AS
MANY DAM OWNERS AS POSSIBLE IN
THE BEGINNING. OKAY I'M- SOME OF
OUR- THANK YOU SO MUCH AS THE
CHAIR AT NPC TO PRESENTATION AND
DIRECTOR SUGGESTS QUICKLY ON
THAT. YOU BELIEVE TOTAL
LIABILITY OUT THERE IN REGARDS
TO- NEEDED FUNDING IS WHAT.
WOULD YOU SAY I BELIEVE IT IS
CLOSE TO THREE BILLION DOLLARS
BILLION- IN ON THAT. I AS YOU
SAID HUNDRED MILLION IS A DROP
IN THE BUCKET SO- CAN YOU TALK
ABOUT. YOUR THOUGHTS AGENCIES
DOT ON LONG TERM ONGOING FUNDING
. M. WILL. SERVE AGAIN WE HAVE-
ABOUT THREE BILLION DOLLARS
WORTH OF FUNDING OF NEED RIGHT
AND IT TAKES THESE PROJECTS
MULTIPLE YEARS TO GET FIXED AS
WELL YOU KNOW THROUGH THE DESIGN
AND THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE- AND-
WE ARE WE RECENTLY IMPLEMENTED
RISK INFORMED DECISION MAKING
INTO OUR PROGRAM SO WE'RE DOING
COMPREHENSIVE REVIEWS OF ALL OF
OUR HÌNH EXTREMELY HIGH HAZARD
DAMS. AND THERE'S ABOUT SEVEN
HUNDRED DAMS AND AS WE GO
THROUGH AND REVIEW THESE I KNOW
WE'RE GOING TO BE FINDING MORE
MORE PROBLEMS. AND SO THE PACE
THAT WE'RE GONNA BE IDENTIFYING
DEFICIENCIES I THINK IT'S GOING
TO OUTPACE THE FUNDING. YEAH NO
ABSOLUTELY THERE ON THE NORTH
COAST THERE ARE A LOT OF-
PRIVATE RESERVOIRS IN DAMS THAT
ARE ANTIQUATED AND IN DESPERATE
NEED OF THAT WHICH IS WHY I ASK
AND- AND NOW THIS IS IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE IS ALSO
THINKING ABOUT OF. OF TRYING TO
DETERMINE WHAT A LONG TERM-
FUNNY MY LOOK LOOK LIKE- BECAUSE
IT'S ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL AND
POLICEMAN YEAH CRYSTALS ARE THE
DEPARTMENT FINANCE I JUST WANTED
TO ADD THAT THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME THAT THE STATE HAS INVESTED
IN A IN A PROGRAM LIKE THIS AND
SO. PART OF THE BENEFIT HERE IS
THAT WE'RE TALKING REALLY ABOUT
KIND OF A PILOT PROGRAM THIS IS
ONE TIME FUNDING OVER A COUPLE
OF YEARS ANDERSON SO THIS REALLY
YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO KIND OF
DEVELOP PROGRAM GUIDELINES AND
BETTER UNDERSTAND. KIND OF HOW
THE PROGRAM WOULD FUNCTION
UNDERSTAND WHAT THE NEED IS OUT
THERE BASED ON- APPLICATIONS OF
THE DEPARTMENT RECEIVES AND KIND
OF EVALUATE. I'M FROM THERE YEAH
I KNOW AND I'M NOT TRYING. TO BE
SMART ON MY RESPONSE I THINK. D.
V. D. RIGHT. AND WE THAT THERE
IS A LONG TERM KNEE THAT WE KNOW
THAT THERE ARE. THERE'S BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS AT NEED AS WELL BUT
AS FAR AS A LONG TERM SOLUTION.
AT STILL TO BE DETERMINED ON
WHAT THAT PROGRAM COULD
POTENTIALLY LOOK LIKE CORRECT.
YEAH PERFECT NOW AND AGAIN. I
HAVE A BUCKET BUT THIS IS.
ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL AND WE'VE
HEARD FROM SO MANY LANDOWNERS ON
THIS ISSUE SOMETHING. SO I
WANTED TO SPRINGBOARD OFF OF SIN
REQUIREMENTS SO THERE'S SO
OBVIOUSLY WHEN YOU. I'M ASSUMING
THIS GETS THROUGH AND WE PASS
THAT IN. SOME POINT THAT WE DO
SOMETHING MAYBE AND YOU'RE GONNA
GET THE APPLICATIONS THEN YOU'RE
GONNA KNOW MORE. YOU TO FIND OUT
MORE BY THE APPLICANTS THAN. TO
GIVE YOU A REAL NUMBER ON LIKE
WHERE YOU'RE AT I'M ASSUMING
RIGHT WE DON'T REALLY ACTUALLY
KNOW EXACTLY. HOW MANY ARE OUT
THERE AND WHAT IT EXACTLY. THE
COST IS GOING TO BE. SIR WE
TRACK OUR PROJECTS WE DO A FIVE
YEAR PROJECTIONS. SAID THAT WE
CAN'T DISSIPATE WHICH IS. ITEM
NUMBER NINE THE AMOUNT OF FEES
THAT ARE GOING TO BE COMING INTO
OUR APPLICATIONS. AND SO WE HAVE
A LIST OF DAMS WHERE WE EITHER
HAVE APPLICATIONS CURRENTLY. AND
THEY'RE UNDER REVIEW OR WE KNOW.
THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE COMING IN
BECAUSE WE HAVE VERY CLOSE
COMMUNICATION WITH OUR DAM
OWNERS. AND WE KNOW WHAT WORK IS
UPCOMING. SO WE HAVE A PRETTY
GOOD HANDLE ON THE WORK NOW THE
TIMING OF WHEN IT OCCURS WE
DON'T BECAUSE THAT'S UP TO. YOU
KNOW WHAT TIME TOMORROW MENTAL
PERMITTING. AS STYLES PROJECTS
FOR AWHILE OR AND- YOU GET INTO
A DESIGN AND YOU REALIZE. THIS
IS GOING TO BE MUCH MORE THAN
WHAT WE THOUGHT AND THEN IT GOES
BACK THROUGH A REDESIGN PROCESS.
SO MAYBE COULD HELP EDUCATE ME A
LITTLE BIT IT'S A LOT OF THE-
BASILIDES IN. CENTER REQUIRE MY
DISTRICT AND THROUGHOUT THE
SERIOUS SEARS IS OUR OUR FIRST
RELATED. BY INFRASTRUCTURE SO
HYDRO THOSE TYPE OF- AND THEN
THERE'S ALSO ACTS SO THAT THE
FIRST SIDE OF IT THERE'S
ACTUALLY A GENERATION OF MONEY
THERE BUT ONLINE A LOT OF THESE.
AG TYPE- BECAUSE WE'RE GONNA BE
TALKING ABOUT. HOW WE FUND THESE
RIGHT AND SO THERE IS A RESOURCE
ON SOME OF THE SOME- THERE ISN'T
VERY MUCH OF A RESOURCE WHICH
GETS TO WEAR. AND THERE'S WATER
RIGHTS INVOLVE THE SO WE'RE
SEEING A SHIFT IN. N.
RELICENSING OF FIRST PROJECTS
THERE'S A WATER RIGHT WITH IT
AND THERE'S THEY'RE BASICALLY
SELLING THESE ASSETS OFTEN P.
JEANNIE- AND OTHER- PRIVATELY OR
OR- OWNED BY A- I'LL USE. AND SO
WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THE AMOUNT
THAT ARE OUT THERE THAT AREN'T
DON'T HAVE A RESOURCE TIED TO
THEM AS MUCH AS- TO BE ABLE TO
DO THE WORK- I THINK IT'S FAIRLY
HIGH. HONESTLY WE HAVE A
PROJECT- ED DOWN SOUTH WHERE.
THEY ARE IN DESIGN THEY DON'T
HAVE MONEY FOR CONSTRUCTION. SO
THEY ARE DOING ALL THE LOBBYING
THEY CAN TO. TO HIGHLIGHT THEIR
PROJECT AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY FOR
REGULATED TO BUT THEIR POWER
GENERATION IS SO SMALL. IT
DOESN'T GENERATE. DOESN'T
GENERATE THE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS A NEED. TO RE HAVE
THEY'RE STILL WAY AN OUTLET
WORKS AS SYSTEM- SO IN THEN I
THINK THE OTHER THING WE SEE IT
DAM OWNERS RUN INTO IS-
PROPOSITION TO EIGHTEEN. SO THEY
HAVE TO GO OUT FOR THEM RATE
PAYERS TO VOTE. AND A LOT OF
THEM AREN'T SUCCESSFUL IN DOING
THAT AND SO THOSE ARE THE ONES
THAT STRUGGLE AS WELL. SO DO YOU
TAKE AN EGG ONE LAST QUESTION
BECAUSE THIS IS I THINK IT'S NOT
GONNA BE OF MUCH OF AS MUCH OF
AN ISSUE THIS YEAR BUT IT WAS
LAST YEAR SO IN CINEMA WHEN I
WAS IN SONOMA LAST FALL- THE
WATER SYSTEM THERE. WAS ACTUALLY
HELPED THE COMMUNITY BUT IT WAS
ACCESS TO THAT WAS ORIGINALLY
PUT IN AND THEY WERE BEING
CURTAILED BECAUSE OF THE
DROUGHT. AND ACTUALLY SOME OF
THOSE CITIES WERE GOING TO BE
WITHOUT WATER IF THEY WERE
CURTAILED AND SO AND THERE'S NO
ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO GET THE
GROUND. TO BACKFILL- THESE
VIRTUALLY SO HOW DO YOU RANK
THAT THE QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU
RANK- THOSE THE PROJECTS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE IS A
RANKING SYSTEM TO SAY. LOOK AT
THE TOTAL PROJECT- IMPACTS NOT
ONLY ACTIVE IT IMPACTS KNOWLEDGE
GENERATION BUT IMPACTS OUR
COMMUNITY DOWN THE DITCH THAT'S
NOT GONNA GET WATER THAT SERVES.
FOR THE COMMUNITIES TO ACTUALLY.
HAVE DRINKING WATER. THE
QUESTION IS THERE ARE CRITERIA
THAT SET AND PRIORITIZE FOR
THOSE. ONES THAT HAVE I GUESS
ABOUT A BIGGER IMPACT ON MORE
PEOPLE- AND I'M A TICKET TAKE A
TIME TO TRY AND- ANSWER THAT FOR
YOU. THE TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE
AS AS IT'S CURRENTLY WRITTEN IT
REALLY IS A PUBLIC SAFETY
FOCUSES WHICH IS REALLY WHAT
THIS IS ABOUT IT'S A PUBLIC
SAFETY FOCUS WHERE THE DAMS HAVE
A DEFICIENCY. THAT THREATENS THE
DAM AND ITS FUNCTION TO SOME
EXTENT- WHERE THAT DEFICIENCY.
ALSO HAS A WATER SUPPLY
CURTAILMENT OR SOME TYPE OF
IMPACT- THE TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGIES THAT AS AS
AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT- TO
CONSIDER- BUT IT'S NOT. A IT'S
ONE OF SEVERAL SO TO SPEAK I
DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT THIS IS
ENTIRELY ABOUT RESTORATION OF-
RESERVOIR YOU KNOW CAPACITIES.
BUT THAT IS AN ELEMENT OF IT
THAT IS THAT IS GOING TO BE PART
OF THE REVIEWING. IF THAT IS
THAT'S HELPFUL IN IN IN THE
DRESSING AT YOUR QUESTION. WHAT
WE SEE ON YOUR ON THE MAP I HAVE
HERE LIKE THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY
HAS TWENTY SIX THAT'S THE MOST.
OF YOUR- IS THE HIGHEST SOUTH
COAST IS EIGHTEEN. SACRAMENTO
SAN JOAQUIN NINE TULARE HAS
ZERO. OF THE OF THE DEFICIENT
DAMS ACROSS THE HYDRAULIC REGION
SO- COOL THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
FOR THE PRESENTATION OF NO
FURTHER QUESTIONS WE WILL HOLD
UP RECOMMENDATION ON THIS WILL
MOVE TO THE NEXT TIME THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. IT MOVE ON TO THE-
NEXT ISSUE A NUMBER NINE. I JUST
SAY THE MAJORITY LEADER THIS IS
THESE ARE GOOD TOPICS FOR HIM
BECAUSE HE GETS TO SAY A LOT OF
NOT. ABOUT HIS THEIR- SEVENTIES
BACK UP. HE'S TO BE BE. AGAINST
YES YOU HAVE OKAY I HAD. THE S.
YES ISSUE NINE IS EVERY FROM W.
R. FIR TREE BILL LANGUAGE TO
MODERNIZE THE NINE NINETY ONE
AFTER FEE SCHEDULE. SET IN
SECTION SIXTY THREE HUNDRED OF
THE WATER CODE UPDATING OF THE
FEE SCHEDULE WORK WILL CORRECT
AN IMBALANCE IN THE REVENUE
COLLECTED FROM DAM OWNERS TO
FIND THE CALIFORNIA DAM SAFETY
PROGRAM. SINCE TWO THOUSAND FOR
THE PROGRAM HAS BEEN FUNDED BY
ANNUAL FEES AND APPLICATION FEES
PAID BY DAM OWNERS WHEN IT WAS
SWITCHED OVER FROM THE GENERAL
FUND. WHILE THE A CITY CAN
ADJUST ANNUAL FEES FOR COST OF
LIVING INCREASES WITH D. W. R.
DIRECTOR PROVE ALL WE DO NOT
HAVE THE ABILITY TO ADJUST THE
NINETEEN NINETY ONE APPLICATION
FEE SCHEDULES AND STATUTE. THE
MODERNIZATION OF THE APPLICATION
FEE SCHEDULE IS NEEDED TO
PROPORTIONALLY KEEP PACE WITH
THE COST BURDEN PLACED ON THE
PROGRAM BY THE REGULATED
COMMUNITY. BY UPDATING AT THE
APPLICATION FEE SCHEDULE FUTURE
INCREASES IN ANNUAL FEES WILL BE
PARTIALLY OFFSET. FOR THE
BENEFIT OF ALL DAM OWNERS. AND
IF I MAY JUST ADDRESSES SO THE
PROGRAM IS FUNDED BY.
APPLICATION FEES FOR THOSE WHO
WERE OR ARE INITIATING A NEW
PROJECT OR A NEW RESERVOIR NEW
DAM FACILITY AND BI ANNUAL FEE-
BASED THAT ARE BASED ON THE SIZE
AND THE CAPACITY OF THE DAM- AND
WHAT WHAT IS WHAT IS OCCURRED
SINCE THE NINETEEN NINETY-
NINETEEN NINETIES- SETTING OF
THE- OF THE FEE. IS THAT THE
APPLICATION PROCESS AND THE WORK
INVOLVED IN ENSURING SEISMIC
CONSTRUCTION MEETS ALL THE
REQUIREMENTS- HAS HAS. INCREASED
SO THE WORKLOAD ON THAT AND HAS
INCREASED. AND REQUIRES MORE
EFFORT. FROM THE DEPARTMENT THAN
THE ANNUAL INSPECTIONS AND THE
WORK ON THE- THOSE DOWNS. SO
THERE'S BECOME AN IMBALANCE IN.
WHAT IS FUNDING WHAT IS FUNDING
THE ACTIVITIES OF THE PROGRAM SO
THE PURPOSE OF THE TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE IS REALLY JUST TO
RESET. THE PLAYING FIELD SO TO
SPEAK SO THAT. THE FEES ASSESSED
TO SOMEONE PROPOSING A NEW
FACILITY- MEET. THE NEEDS OF THE
DEPARTMENT AT CARRYING OUT THE
DUTIES FOR THAT NEW FACILITY.
AND IT DOESN'T FALL UPON ALL
OTHER DAM OWNERS TO COVER THE
COST. FOR ME CURRENT. MAKE SENSE
. I'M A NUMBER TO WIN. SO I
HEARD A LOT ABOUT SO I WAS
AROUND IN THE NINETIES AS A
LOCAL ELECTED WHEN THE- I
STARTED THE PROCESS AND THERE'S
BEEN A LOT OF SMALL. SMALLER
FIST. AG TYPE THE- DAMS THAT
JUST MEET BARELY MEET THE- WHAT
WE CALL A ACTUALLY GETS FIFTY
ACRE FEET. AND SO- IS NOT GOING
TO BE IS THAT AS THEIR RATES
GOING TO GO UP THOSE THOSE
EXISTING SMALL- FOLKS I DIDN'T
CATCH THAT MIGHT. SERVE REALLY
THIS IS BASED ON THE COST OF THE
WORK TO EITHER REPAIR ALTER. OR
REMOVE IT DAM. SO IF THEY'RE
GOING OUT AND DOING A REPAIR ON
A THAT'S A FAIRLY SIMPLE
STRUCTURE. THE REPAIR ISN'T
GOING TO BE OF A VERY HIGH COST
LIKE IF YOU HAVE A COMPLEX DAM-
SO ED BASICALLY YOU KNOW ALL OF
WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE
INCREASING. AS THE DOLLAR AMOUNT
OF THE PROJECTS SO A SMALLER
PROJECT WOULD COST MORE BUT THE
KEY WITH WITH THIS IS THAT DAM
OWNERS ARE ABLE TO PLAN THIS IN
TO THEIR- THEIR PLAN FOR THE
PROJECT IT BECOMES A PROJECT
COST SO THEY CAN PLAN FOR IT.
THEY CAN SEEK GRANTS AND LOANS
TO HELP COVER THAT COST SO IT
ISN'T SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO
GET HIM BY SURPRISE. IT'LL JUST
BE PART OF THE PROJECT COST.
THIS BUT ISN'T THERE AN ANNUAL
FEE FOR INSPECTION NOW SO WE
HAVE AN ANNUAL FEE THAT SUPPORTS
THE ENTIRE PROGRAM. AND WHAT
THIS WILL DO IS OKAY SAY FOR
INSTANCE WE HAVE ANDERSON DAM
AND THAT IS OVER A BILLION
DOLLAR PROJECT. SO AS WE BRING
AND APPLICATION FEES WHICH IS-
RIGHT NOW I THINK IT'S ABOUT-
FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS FOR
THAT IN FEES. THAT IS GOING TO
HELP THEM. YEAH GREAT NOT NOT
RIGHT SORRY NOT I DIDN'T FIVE
HUNDRED MILLIONS OF. SO FEES
COLLECTED FROM APPLICATIONS.
FIVE AS WE COLLECT MORE IN
APPLICATION FEES. WE ARE GONNA
BE ABLE TO HOLD STEADY OR-
ABSORB THE ANNUAL FEE INCREASES
FOR DAM OWNERS. BECAUSE RIGHT
NOW WE HAVE TO POTS OF MONEY WE
HAVE ANNUAL FEES AND WE HAVE
APPLICATION FEES. AN ANNUAL FEES
RIGHT NOW ARE COVERING ABOUT
85290% OF THE PROGRAM IN
APPLICATION FEES ARE COVERING
ABOUT 10215% THE WORKLOAD FOR
APPLICATIONS IS PROBABLY ABOUT.
OVER 35% SO ANYTIME WE GET A
BUDGET INCREASE FOR COST OF
LIVING INCREASES STAFF BENEFITS
SALARIES- ANY PROGRAM EXPANSION
THAT'S ALL ABSORBED THROUGH THE
ANNUAL FEES. AND SO THIS WILL
HELP NOW OFF SAID DANIEL FEES
FROM GOING UP AT THE RATE
THEY'VE BEEN GOING UP. SO THIS
IS GONNA BE TARGETED MORE TO THE
THAT 35% THAT'S REALLY WHERE THE
COST IS NOT BE INSISTS- SERVICED
BY THE ANNUAL BY THE APPLICATION
FEES RIDE RIDE. THIS SHOULD
ULTIMATELY HELP EXISTING DAM
OWNERS OF VARYING SIZES TO NOT
SEE. AS HIS LUXURY IN A CALLING
CREATING THEIR GOING TO HAVE TO
DEAL WITH THIS THE COLD PART OF
IT NOT THE 35% RIGHT. OKAY RIGHT
. COME. ALL RIGHT I'M GOOD WITH
THANK YOU VERY MUCH OF FOR BOTH
OF YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. AND
WE WILL MOVE ON NOW TO- ISSUE
NUMBER TEN. THIS IS COASTAL
RESILIENCE. AND WILL INVITE.
FOLKS WHO HAVE LIVED WITH THE
PUBLIC FINANCE WILL BE. LEADING
THE PRESENTATION.
MCGUINNESS CB CLEANUP OKAY.
GREAT GO HEAD READY. GOOD
MORNING MY NAME IS WITH THE
DEPARTMENT FINANCE. SO RECENT
FISCAL YEARS HAVE- PROVIDED THE
STATE WITH THE ABUNDANCE OF-
AVAILABLE GENERAL FUND THAT HAVE
ALLOWED FOR HISTORIC
INVESTMENTS- MANY PROGRAMS.
HOWEVER THE REALITY OF THE
PROJECTED TWENTY TWO AND A HALF
BILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT HAS
RESULTED IN SOME. DIFFICULT
DECISIONS THAT HAVE TO BE MADE
WITH REGARD TO SOME OF THESE
INVESTMENTS. AB IS YOU'VE HEARD
BEFORE IN THAT MAKING THESE
DETERMINATIONS IN DEVELOPING
GENERAL FUND SOLUTIONS THE
ADMINISTRATION HAS ATTEMPTED TO
PROTECT AS MUCH OF THE FUNDING
IS POSSIBLE WHICH MANY PROGRAMS
AS POSSIBLE HEADS AT PRIORITIZE
PROGRAMS FOR DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES HAS PRIORITIZED THE
MOST IMMEDIATE CLIMATE NEEDS
NAMELY FIRE AND WATER AND
REMAINS COMMITTED TO- THE
PROGRAMS THAT WERE OUT
ORIGINALLY FUNDED AND AS SUCH
HAS PROTECTED 57% OF THE
PROPOSED CLIMATE RESILIENCE
FUNDING. WHICH IS SEVERAL TIMES
WHAT WAS MADE AVAILABLE FOR
CLEMENT OF COASTAL RESILIENCE
EXCUSE ME IN PROPOSITION SIXTY
EIGHT. OKAY I'M. WE HAVE A
SPIRIT WHEN YOU GO FIRST AND
OKAY THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
SUNNY PADDOCK WITH THE L. A. O.
SO WE KNOW THAT THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET DOES PROPOSE A
DISPROPORTIONATELY LARGE
REDUCTION TO THE COASTAL
RESILIENCE PACKAGE RELATIVE TO
THE OTHER PACKAGES. RECENTLY
HAVE BEEN RECENT BUDGETS-
CUTTING 43% OR FIVE HUNDRED
SIXTY MILLION OF THE ORIGINAL
ONE POINT THREE BILLION. THESE
PROPOSED REDUCTIONS ARE SOMEWHAT
NUANCED THE BUDGET WOULD
MAINTAIN THE HIGHEST AMOUNT AND
SHARE OF FUNDING FOR THE STATE
COASTAL CONSERVANCY SEA LEVEL
RISE ADAPTATION ACTIVITIES THAT
ARE NATURE BASED. ACTIVITIES THE
BUDGET PROPOSES A MUCH LARGER
CUT TO THE STATE COASTAL
CONSERVANCY PART OF FUNDING
THAT'S FOR A WIDER ARRAY OF
COASTAL RESILIENCE ACTIVITIES SO
FOR EXAMPLE. ALLOWABLE USES OF
THIS FUNDING WOULD INCLUDE
EVERYTHING FROM RESTORING UPLAND
HABITAT TO REMOVING DAMS TO
HELPING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
ACQUIRE PROPERTY AT RISK FROM
SEA LEVEL RISE. SIMILARLY THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET PROPOSES A
LARGE CUT TO THE FUNDING THAT
WOULD ALLOW THE COASTAL
CONSERVANCY TO ADAPT PUBLIC
INFRASTRUCTURE LIKE PORTS TO SEA
LEVEL RISE. AND THEN FINALLY WE
NOTE THAT IT PROPOSES CUTTING
BOTH THE BUDGET YEAR AND BUDGET
YOUR PLUS ONE FUNDING FOR THE
OCEAN PROTECTION COUNCILS SB ONE
IMPLEMENTATION FUNDING. SO WE
JUST NOTIF YOU THINGS- ABOUT
THIS PROPOSED APPROACH- FIRST WE
NOTE THERE WAS ALREADY- A LOW
FUNDING BASE FOR SEA LEVEL RISE
ADAPTATION. IN THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET PROPOSES SIGNIFICANT
REDUCTIONS HERE THAT COULD
AFFECT STATE WIDE PREPARATION
FOR IMPACTS THAT WE KNOW ARE
SERIOUS AND THAT ARE CERTAIN TO
HAPPEN. WE YET WE KNOW THAT SOME
SEA LEVEL RISE- ADAPTATION
ACTIVITIES ARE MORE URGENT THAN
OTHERS OBVIOUSLY. AND BECAUSE OF
THIS- WE THINK THE LEGISLATURE
COULD CONSIDER MODIFYING THE
STATE COASTAL CONSERVANCY'S
FUNDING SO FOR EXAMPLE
REGARDLESS OF WHAT LEVEL OF
FUNDING THE LEGISLATURE- AND
GOVERNOR AGREED TO RETAIN. THE
LEGISLATURE COULD CONSIDER
COMBINING THE SORT OF THREE POTS
OF FUNDING AND DIRECTING THE
CONSERVANCY TO TARGET SOME OF
THE MOST CRITICAL SEA LEVEL RISE
ADAPTATION ACTIVITIES. THESE
COULD BE NATURE BASED BUT MAYBE
THEY WOULDN'T BE SO FOR EXAMPLE
IF- IF THERE WAS AN URGENT NEED
TO PROTECT OUR PUBLIC
INFRASTRUCTURE- THEN THAT COULD
BE AN ALLOWABLE USE UNDER UNDER
THAT TYPE OF PROPOSAL. FINALLY
IRVINE WE THINK THE LEGISLATURE
MIGHT CONSIDER RETAINING MORE.
OF THE OCEAN PROTECTION COUNCILS
S. B. ONE LOCAL PLANNING
DOLLARS- THIS FUNDING WILL
REALLY HELP LOCALS ASSESS RISK
AND EVALUATE AND IDENTIFY- THE
NEEDS OF VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES.
THESE PLANNING EFFORTS WILL-
HELP DIRECT FUTURE SPENDING MORE
EFFECTIVELY- THE LEGISLATURE
COULD CONSIDER SORT OF WHAT WHAT
LEVEL OF FUNDING WOULD HELP- THE
STATE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACHIEVE
THOSE GOALS- AND ACTUALLY I DO
HAVE ONE MORE ONE MORE THING TO
NOTE- THERE IS SOME FEDERAL
FUNDING. AVAILABLE FOR SIMILAR
TYPES OF PROJECTS BUT THIS
FUNDING IS AWARDED COMPETITIVELY
SO THAT MEANS THAT YOU KNOW THAT
THERE'S NO GUARANTEE NECESSARILY
THAT THE STATE WILL GET THAT
MONEY- AND- THIS FUNDING IS
PRIMARILY AVAILABLE FOR NATURE
BASED- ACTIVITIES. ON THE SAME
ACTIVITIES FOR WHICH THE
GOVERNOR PROPOSES TO RETAIN-
MOST OF THE FUNDING SO THAT
FEDERAL FUNDING EVEN IF THE
STATE IS OF WHERE TO GET IT
WOULD NOT BE A DIRECT BACK FILL
OF THE PROPOSED REDUCTIONS BY
THE GOVERNOR. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. CHAU WHEN THIS
CAME OUT- IT WAS MYSELF AND MY
COLLEAGUES WERE. QUITE CONCERNED
ABOUT THAT DEEP CUTS IN THIS
AREA. STORMS RECENTLY IS THE
MEASURES RECONSIDERING THAT THAT
43% CUT IN THE- COAST RESILIENCE
. THE ADMINISTRATION REMAINS
OPEN TO NEGOTIATION OF THE
LEGISLATURE LEGISLATURE AND-
INITIALLY OPEN TO ANY SHIPS IN-
CLIMATE NEED HOWEVER AT THIS
TIME THERE'S NO- PROPOSAL BEING
PUT FORWARD TO CHANGE THESE
NUMBERS MMHM. GOOD WOULD YOU FOR
THOSE DISCUSSIONS- IT WITHOUT
GOING TO DETAILS THAT THAT FOLKS
KNOW YOU KNOW WITH THAT AT.
SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE FROM CENTRAL
COAST CERTAINLY DAMAGE AND IN MY
DISTRICT AS WELL UP NORTH AND
REALLY THROUGHOUT- THE N. S.
ELLIE- MENTIONS. I'M GETTING ONE
OF OUR PREVIOUS HEARINGS WE
TALKED WITH THE FEDERAL FUNDS
AVAILABLE IN THIS AREA BUT-
ISRAELI- MENTIONS THAT THOSE
FUNDS WOULD BE. COMING FOR THE
SAME NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS THAT
WERE ALREADY ACTUALLY FUNNY
FAIRLY WELL AND IT'S THESE OTHER
AREAS WHERE THERE'S PROBABLY
MORE CONCERNED- THERE'S A- THIS
IS MONEY ALLOCATED TO ADAPTING
INFRASTRUCTURE SEA LEVEL RISE-
THE AND THE GOVERNOR SOLUTION
BECAUSE REDUCING THAT DOWN I
THINK TO THIRTY EIGHT MILLION
FOR MAYBE ONE FORTY FOUR. WHAT
IS THE DEMAND FOR THIS TYPE OF
FUNDING. HELLO I'M IN THE HOTEL
EXECUTIVE OFFICER AT THE STATE
COASTAL CONSERVANCY- SO YES
THERE ARE THESE THREE DIFFERENT
CATEGORIES OF FUNDING THE- BROAD
COASTAL RESILIENCE FUNDING THE
NATURE BASED C. LEVEL RISE
ADAPTATION AND THEN THE FUNDING
YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT ADAPTING
INFRASTRUCTURE TO SEA LEVEL
RISE- THIRTY EIGHT MILLION OUT
OF THE HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR
MILLION- UP THAT FUNDING. IS
PROTECTED AS PART OF THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET AND WE ARE
WORKING ON PROJECTS NOW FROM
CRESCENT CITY TO IMPERIAL BEACH
SO YOU KNOW PROJECTS UP AND DOWN
THE COAST IN- WHAT KIND OF
PROJECTS ARE THOSE ME YES SO WE
HAVE- OF. CITY OF IMPERIAL
BEACH- PLANNING- A PUBLIC ACCESS
AND PROTECTING A DISADVANTAGE
FROM CUT FROM COMMUNITY FROM SEA
LEVEL RISE IN RAISING A ONE MILE
SEGMENT OF TRAIL. PROJECT WITH
THE PORT OF SAN DIEGO THE
SURFERS POINT MANAGED RETREAT
PROJECT IN VENTURA COUNTY-
WORKING WITH CITY OF SANTA
BARBARA TO RE LOCATE WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE. US SANTA CRUZ
WHARF- THE FIRST PHASE OF A
LARGER PROJECT TO. STRENGTHEN
THE WHARF. ON SAN MATTEO NORTH
COAST THIS ONE'S REALLY EXCITING
THE SEWER OUTFALL RETREAT
PLANNING PROJECT- THE
PARTICIPANT THAT WAS SENT- IT'S-
ON THE NORTH COAST OF SAN MATEO
COUNTY. I'M ASSUMING IT'S A THE
TERAKHIR SM MATTEO COUNTY I MEAN
THAT'S MY DISTRICT YES I JUST
DON'T THAT'S THE- PACIFIC ONE OF
THE OTHER HALF OF THE DAY I'M
NOT SURE I CAN I CAN FIND THAT
OUT- THE PORT OF SAN FRANCISCO
THEIR PEERS THIRTY EIGHT AND
FORTY. PROJECTS SO WORKING WITH
THEM TO INCORPORATE PUBLIC
ACCESS AND SEA LEVEL RISE
RESILIENCE. A PROJECT IN. THE
CRESCENT CITY HARBOR TO REDESIGN
COMMERCIAL FISHING
INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE HUMBOLDT
BAY LIVING SHORELINES PROJECTS
SO THOSE ARE THE PROJECTS WE
HAVE. SOME PRE APPLICATIONS OR
APPLICATIONS FOR OR HAVE ALREADY
TAKEN TO OUR BOARD FOR FUNDING.
YEAH LOWS RESEARCH WERE OF THE
PACIFICA COSIN. HAVE SPACE MY
CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY BE HERE
A LITTLE BIT I'M- IN PACIFIC IS
AN EXAMPLE OF WE TALK ABOUT DEPT
INFRASTRUCTURE OF ALREADY HAD
TO. RELOCATE A NUMBER OF HOMES
AND- THERE'S MORE HOMES AND
PASTA MAJOR HIGHWAY THAT ARE IN-
REALLY THE ONLY MAJOR ROAD
THERE- I WANT TO BE SUSCEPTIBLE
TO FOR THE RUSSIAN AND- I'M-
SORRY STATES MISTER WAS GROUND
ZERO FOR IT YOU KNOW. THIS THIS
THIS ISSUE OF THE- THEY NEED A
LOT OF MONEY. THE POINT OF THE
TOUR WAS TO TALKING ABOUT. THE
NEEDS AND SO REDUCING THIS. BIG
OF A JUMP FROM A HUNDRED FORTY
FOUR MILLION TO THIRTY EIGHT
MILLION IT'S REALLY SUCCESS OR
STENCIL REDUCTION- SEEMS LIKE
THAT'S CAN PREVENT SOME OF THAT
WORK FROM GETTING DONE. WE WILL
HAVE THE THIRTY EIGHT MILLION-
ENCUMBERED IN PROJECTS THIS YEAR
SO YES THERE THERE IS- A
SIGNIFICANT NEED ON THE COAST-
THE CDC AND THE METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION JUST
PUT OUT A REPORT. THAT THERE IS
A HUNDRED AND TEN BILLION
DOLLARS. OF SEA LEVEL RISE
ADAPTATION. INFRASTRUCTURE
NEEDED JUST IN SAN FRANCISCO
BAY. SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT.
EACH OF THE BAYS AND ESTUARIES
ALONG WITH THE OUTER COAST YET
THERE IS A- A VERY SIGNIFICANT
NEED. YEAH YES THE SKILL THAT
NUMBER THAT IS AT THE- WELL GOOD
AND WE WERE ANYONE CAN SEE
DISCUSSES BECAUSE OF CERTAINLY A
GREAT CONCERN TO ME AND- OF MY
DISTRICT- AS WELL AS YOU KNOW.
THE ADDRESS THE COAST- SARDAR
HERE. SO THE DAILY- STALKING
ABOUT- YOU KNOW THE OVERALL
REDUCTION BUT STILL BUT IN BUT
SENATOR BACKERS TALKING ABOUT
THE DAMAGE IS DONE IN THE STORMS
BUT SO WE HAVE A STATE OF
EMERGENCY. FOR FLOOD AND STORMS
RIGHT NOW SO. THIS THE
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HE'S TALKING
ABOUT IS IT BEEN DAMAGED BY. SEA
LEVEL RISE OR BY STORMS BECAUSE
THERE IS TWO DIFFERENT THINGS-
AND THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT POTS
OF MONEY AVAILABLE OBVIOUSLY WE
COULD HAVE FEMA MONEY COMING IN
TO TAKE CARE OF. OF ISSUES THAT
ARE CREATED BY STORMS AND FLOODS
NOT SEA LEVEL RISE IS THOSE ARE
THE SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.
WHAT ENERGY CENTER FROM FROM MY
DISTRICT IT'S THERE'S BOTH
WHETHER SOME IMMEDIACY DAMAGE
BUT THEY WON'T TALK ABOUT
PACIFIC- THAT'S MORE. SEATED
ARRIVALS YOU OF RICE BUT WE'RE
GOING TO. I SAY IT- THE CALM. SO
SEALEVEL RISE ALONE CREATE-
SIGNIFICANT ISSUES BUT WHEN YOU
ARE COMBINING SEA LEVEL RISE
WITH EXTREME STORM EVENTS ALSO
BECAUSE YOU KNOW. AT LEAST
PARTIALLY BY CLIMATE CHANGE
THAT'S WHEN YOU'RE SEEING THE
SIGNIFICANT DAMAGES IT'S ALSO
THE COMBINATION OF. COASTAL
FLOODING AND FLUVIAL FLOODING SO
FOR EXAMPLE ARE YOU KNOW THAT
COASTAL RESILIENCE CATEGORY OF
FUNDING WE COULD BE DOING
PROJECTS. IN WATERSHEDS- TO
HELP- MANAGE A FLUVIAL FLOOD
RISK- AND IT'S THAT COMBINATION
YOU KNOW OF WATER COMING DOWN
AND THEN THE STORMS COASTAL
STORMS INDOOR SEALEVEL RISE-
PREVENTING THE FLUVIAL WATER
FROM GETTING OUT. SO YOU KNOW ON
A POSITIVE NOTE THE CITY OF
NAPA- YOU KNOW DID VERY WELL
THIS YEAR AND HAS FLOODED
MULTIPLE TIMES HISTORICALLY-
AND- A HUGE PART OF THAT WAS THE
LIVING RIVER PROJECT ON THE NAPA
RIVER- SO IT IS POSSIBLE TO-
SOME. DEVELOP PROJECTS THAT
MANAGE- FLOOD RISK TO HOW DO YOU
HOW DO YOU. DETERMINE THE
CRITERIA FOR HOW YOU'RE GOING TO
SPEND THE LIMITED RESOURCES YOU
HAVE SEE I HEARD. A TRAIL
REPLACEMENT WOULD THAT BE HIGHER
THAN. LOSING A ROAD IN AND
CUTTING OFF A COMMUNITY HOW DO
YOU HOW DO YOU RATE THOSE. I
THINK OF- WE HAVE A SET OF
PROJECTS SELECTION CRITERIA FOR
THE COASTAL CONSERVANCY- AND WE
HAVE A RECENTLY ADOPTED FIVE
YEAR STRATEGIC PLAN THAT LAYS
OUT. A CRITERIA 40% OF OUR
FUNDING WE- WANT TO BENEFIT- GOD
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES ARE
SYSTEMICALLY EXCLUDED COMMUNITY
SAID THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT
CRITERIA AND THEN I THINK A- A
LARGE CRITERIA IS THE NEED FOR
COASTAL CONSERVANCY FUNDING SO-
IF THERE ARE YOU KNOW FEMA FUNDS
OR OTHER FUNDS TO REPLACE A
PIECE OF INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S
NOT NECESSARILY- THE BEST USE
OF. COASTAL CONSERVANCY FUNDING-
AND WE WANT TO REALLY SUPPORT-
YOU KNOW PLANNING AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECTS THAT
ARE DESIGNED- TO ADAPT TO SEA
LEVEL RISE. THANK YOU. SIR ONE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I'LL BE BRIEF
I SAID MY QUINCY REMARKS AT A
PREVIOUS HEARING ABOUT THIRTY
DAYS AGO ABOUT BOTH THESE ISSUES
IN FIRST AND FOREMOST I JUST
WANNA COMPLEMENT THE COSTA
CONSERVANCY THE CALLS
CONSERVANCY AB GETS IT DONE
RIGHT THEY ARE ABLE TO WORK WITH
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO BE ABLE TO.
ADVANCE DESPERATELY NEEDED
FUNDING FOR AN ARRAY OF ISSUES
BUT IN PARTICULAR I'M BECOMING
MORE RESILIENT WHEN IT COMES TO
THE ISSUE OF OUR CLIMATE CRISIS
AND- I GET IT THAT. I WERE IN A
TOUGH BUDGET YEAR BUT WHEN WE
TAKE A LOOK AT THE STRATEGIC
INVESTMENTS GOING FROM HUNDRED
FORTY FOUR MILLION TO THIRTY
EIGHT MILLION AT THE SIMPLY NOT
GONNA WORK IF YOU LOOK AT LIKE
THE CITIZENS STOCK THAT WAS JUST
FUNDED FROM THIS- ALLOCATION UP
IN CRESCENT CITY THAT'S JUST THE
ENGINEERING AND ENVIRONMENTAL-
IN WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE LONG
TERM COSTS. OF REDESIGNING THAT
DOC BASED OFF OF WHAT SEA LEVEL
RISE IS PROJECTED TO BE AND WE
KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE A HEAVIER
PRICE TAG ALL THAT SAYING THAT
IT'S A VERY SMALL PROJECT
COMPARED TO SOME OF THESE
PROJECTS IN THE COASTAL
CONSERVANCY TO STATE
CALIFORNIA'S GONNA HAVE TO FIND.
SO I THINK IT'S GOING TO TAKE
ALL OF US FOCUSING ON. WHETHER
IT'S THE INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS
OR THE CLIMATE RESILIENCY
FUNDING THAT WAS CUT BY TWO
THIRDS. AND I UNDERSTAND I'M
USING THE WORD CUT- I HEAR
OTHERS SAY DEFERRED BUT I THINK
THAT WE CAN ALL AGREE- IT IS
VERY DIFFICULT TO GET A DEFERRAL
BACK HERE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA- IF WE ARE LOOKING AT
HISTORY AS- THE PRESIDENT. SO
AGAIN IS ONE IS A- AN
EXAGGERATED THANK YOU FOR YOUR
FANTASTIC WORK THANKS FOR.
ALWAYS HAVE AN INNOVATIVE HAT
ON. AND ON THINK WE NEED TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO BE A TO
RESOLVE THIS OR AT LEAST. A
PORTION OF THIS YEAR IN OUR
ONGOING NEGOTIATIONS I KNOW
THAT. AND THE CHAIR IS HYPER
FOCUSED ON THIS ISSUE AND JUST
WANNA SAY THANK YOU MISTER.
CHAIR FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. THANK
YOU ECHOES MY SINCE BEEN TO SIR
ON THE CO OF CONSERVE. IN AND-
SYSTEM THAT UP CLOSE OF. THEY

WHETHER PROJECTS QUEUED UP YOU
KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IS
PROJECTS AND- WILL THAT REMAIN
ONE MILLION DOLLARS GO. SO YEAH
THE COASTAL CONSERVANCY WE HAVE
A LONG HISTORY OF LEADING AND
PARTNERING ON WETLAND
RESTORATION PROJECTS IN SAN
FRANCISCO BAY- THERE WERE
PROJECTS LINED UP FOR THIS
FUNDING- BUT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO FIND THEM OUT OF. THE COASTAL
RESILIENCE AND THE NATURE BASS
C. LEVEL RISE- FUNDING THAT WE
TALKED ABOUT UNDER THE PREVIOUS
ITEM. FROM THE NEED FOR FUNDING
FOR SAN FRANCISCO BAY WETLANDS
IS OBVIOUSLY LARGER THAN- THAT
THE RESOURCES- THAT WE CURRENTLY
HAVE A TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN
GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE REPORT
ON THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY
ESTIMATED A ONE POINT FIVE
BILLION DOLLAR NEED. FOR
RESTORATION IN THE BAY AREA OR
IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY THAT
SAID THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT
RESOURCES FOR SAN FRANCISCO BAY
WETLANDS RESTORATION THE VOTERS
IN THE BAY AREA PASSED A MEASURE
A DAY IN TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN IT
PROVIDES TWENTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS. ANNUALLY FOR SAN
FRANCISCO BAY WETLANDS
RESTORATION. AND THE U. S. EPA
THERE WAS JUST A SAN FRANCISCO
BAY PROGRAM A GEOGRAPHIC PROGRAM
ESTABLISHED- AS PART OF THE
NATIONAL DEFENSE ACT LAST
DECEMBER. AND THE INCREASES FOR
EPA FUNDING FOR SAN FRANCISCO
BAY- ARE THERE HAVE BEEN
INCREASES IN FUNDING- THROUGH
USEPA FOR SAN FRANCISCO BAY- AND
WE ARE OUR STAFF JUST APPLIED
FOR AND RECEIVED TWO GRANTS FROM
THE U. S. EPA PROGRAM- JUST THIS
YEAR. WE'RE ALSO PARTNERING WITH
THE US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS
ON A COUPLE PROJECTS IN SAN
FRANCISCO BAY AND WE JUST- WERE
AWARDED NINETY ONE MILLION
DOLLARS IN FEDERAL FUNDING FOR
OUR SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO BAY
SHORELINE PROJECT- WE DO HAVE TO
MATCH THAT FUNDING WITH NON
FEDERAL FUNDS- BUT WE'RE-
MEASURE A FUN. OKAY I THINK YOU
SHOULD TIME WILL MOVE ON I HAD A
QUESTION FOR- WE ARE. AROUND THE
- THIS UP NOW HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS I BELIEVE FOR- CHUCK
COMMUNITIES PREPARE FOR THE
IMPACTS OF EXTREME HEAT. AND
QUESTION HOW DOES APPEAR PLAN TO
UTILIZE LARGELY DOLLAR PROPOSED
FOR THIS PROGRAM. THANK YOU SAID
CHAIR SCOTT MORGAN WITH THE
OFFICE PLANNING RESEARCH AND SO
THE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IS
BUDGETED- TO- GO TO COMMUNITIES
WE HAVE NINETY MILLION THAT
WE'RE ALLOCATING FOR GRANTS THAT
WILL DISPENSED IN TWO ROUNDS. OF
PROGRAM STAFF ANTICIPATE MAKING
ROUND ONE AWARDS IN EARLY TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR AND ROUND TWO AWARDS
IN TWENTY TWENTY FIVE- WE INTEND
THE FUND PLANNING AND
IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS. IN HEAT
FORMAL IN HE'D ALMOST
COMMUNITIES AND TRIBAL
COMMUNITIES WE WILL FOCUS ON
COMMUNITY BASED SOLUTIONS AND
SET FUNDING TARGETS FOR TRAVEL
AND DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES-
PROJECTS INCLUDE- CREATING
COMPREHENSIVE ACTION PLANS
PROVIDING MECHANICAL AND NATURAL
SHADE INCREASING BUILDING AND
IT'S- SURFACE REFLECTION.
REFLECTIVE PROVIDING PASSIVE OR
LOW ENERGY COOLING STRATEGIES
PROMOTING OF RAPID COOLING-
ALONG WITH THE FUNDING FOR
PLANNING IMPLEMENTATION WE WILL
LEVERAGE THIS GRANT FUNDING TO
CREATE A MODEL FOR FUTURE
INVESTMENTS. IN ACTION ON
EXTREME HEAT WE WILL PARTNER
WITH EXPERTS ON PROVIDE
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE GRANT
IMPLEMENTATION AND CONTINUING
MONITOR AT THE SUCCESS OF THE
PROJECT- SO IT'S REALLY LOOKING
AT. PROVIDING DIRECT FUNDING TO
LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO DEAL WITH
THE HEAT IMPACTS THAT THEY'RE
WORKING ON RIGHT NOW WE ARE
FORMALLY KICKING OFF THIS
PROJECT TOMORROW AT THE
INTEGRATED. CLIMATE ADAPTATION
RESULTS YOU PROGRAMS TECHNICAL
ADVISE YOU RE COMMITTEE MEETING-
TO GET START GETTING FORMAL
FEEDBACK ON ON THE PROJECTS AND
NEEDS. OF FROM COMMUNITIES AND
STAKEHOLDERS. IF WE DO FIND
RESIDENTIAL SEE HE THEY ARE GET
AIR. RESIDENTS WE CAN IN OUR IS
THAT. STATE FOR FUNDING UNDER
THIS PROGRAM OR NOT NECESSARILY
UNDER THIS PROGRAM THAT WE ARE
STANDING IS THAT IS COVERED BY
DIFFERENT EXISTING PROGRAMS AND
SO WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT AT AT
PROP PROGRAMS THAT THAT. AREN'T
FUNDED BY OR OR HAVEN'T BEEN
HISTORICALLY FUNDED- AND THAT'LL
ALSO BE PART OF THE GUIDELINE
DEVELOPMENTS RIGHT SO PART OF
THAT STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK OR
WATER THOSE GAPS IN THOSE NEEDS
THAT WE WILL THAT WILL BE
IDENTIFIED FOR THESE FUNNY. IT'S
GOING TO- TWENTY FOUR TWENTY
FIVE TO. DEVELOP THAT HE SAID
CORRECT WELL WE'RE GONNA LOOK TO
GET THE GRANTS OUT IN THAT THE
ROUND ONE GRANTS WOULD BE EARLY
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR WE'RE HOPING
TO HAVE. APPLICATIONS COMING IN
IN THE FALL AND WINTER OF THIS
YEAR TO GET THE FUNDING OUT IN
EARLY TWENTY FOUR. YOU CAN AND
YOU SHOULD SEE EXAMPLES OF
PROJECTS WOULD BE USELESS COUPLE
EXAMPLES YES WE'RE LOOKING AT A
COMPREHENSIVE HEAT ACTION PLANS
TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES DEVELOPING
ACTION PLANS ON ON HOW THEY'RE
GOING TO DEAL WITH WITH THE
EXTREME HEAT EVENTS. A PROVIDING
MECHANICAL OR NATURAL SHADE
ENVIRONMENTS- INCREASING
BUILDING SERVICE REFLECTIVE. OF
REFLECTANCE PROVIDING PASSIVE
LOW ENERGY COOLING STRATEGIES
SO. AND AGAIN THAT A LOT OF THIS
WILL BE BASED ON THAT THAT
INITIAL STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK
THAT WE GET STARTING TOMORROW.
AND HAVE A REDUCTION SAID FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS IMPACT THIS
PROGRAM. WE THINK IT'S GONNA BE
ABOUT A 50% DECREASE IN THE
TOTAL AMOUNT OF GRANTS SO WE'RE
NOT LOOKING AT A- REDUCTION IN.
INDIVIDUAL AMOUNTS PER GRANTS
BUT THE TOTAL NUMBER SO
PROBABLY. INSTEAD OF AROUND
EIGHTY TO A HUNDRED GRANTS
PROBABLY MORE THE FIFTY FORTY TO
FIFTY. GRANT PROJECTS THAT WOULD
BE LOOKING AT. YEAH SIGNIFICANT
OKAY YEAH I'M- THE PRESIDENT'S
REALLY BRASILEIROS THOUGHTS ON
THIS PROPOSAL. THIS ITEM I'M SO
GLAD MY NAME IS HAN CHRISTIAN AT
THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE
SO OUR COMMENTS ON THESE
PACKAGES ARE PRETTY SIMILAR TO
WHAT YOU'VE HEARD- US COMMENT ON
ON PREVIOUS PACKAGES. BOTH
ESSENTIALLY WE THINK THAT MOST
OF THE PROPOSED REDUCTIONS
APPEAR REASONABLE- THESE ARE ALL
OF YOU TO PROGRAMS THAT MEET-
IMPORTANT STATE GOALS AND
PRIORITIES HOWEVER GIVEN THE
BUDGET SITUATION IN THE STATE WE
HAVE TO MAKE SOME TOUGH CUTS AND
SO WE THINK. GENERALLY WITH THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSING SEEMS SEEMS
TO BE- OF DEFENSIBLE I THINK ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT'S IMPORTANT
TO KEEP IN MIND THAT WITH THESE
PACKAGES AS WELL AS WITH OTHER
PACKAGES IS. OF COURSE YOU KNOW
THERE ARE OTHER EQUALLY GOOD
PACKAGES THE LEGISLATURE COULD
COME UP WITH IT'S REALLY ABOUT
LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES. WE
IDENTIFIED A FEW POTENTIAL
PROGRAMS THAT WE THINK ARE OTHER
PUT CANDIDATES ARE THE
LEGISLATURE COULD CONSIDER THEM
IN PLACE OF WHAT PROPOSED IF FOR
EXAMPLE SOME OF THESE- PROGRAMS
THAT YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT OR THAT
YOU WILL TALK ABOUT TODAY. ARE
REALLY KEY PRIORITIES YOU COULD
SWITCH AMOUNT FOR SOME OTHER
PROGRAMS WE IDENTIFY SOME THAT
THAT ARE POTENTIAL FOR THAT OR
IF THE BUDGET SITUATION GETS
WORSE AS IT MAY WELL ON BETWEEN
NOW IN THE PASSAGE OF THE
BUDGET- YOU CONSIDER THESE
PROGRAMS. I'M GOOD AT JUST HAD A
COUPLE OF THEM IN THE INTEREST
OF TIME THERE ARE FEW THAT WE
THINK THAT- ARE POTENTIAL
CANDIDATES PARTLY BECAUSE
THEY'RE PRETTY EARLY IN
DEVELOPMENT- AND SO WE THINK
THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE TO
LATER OR REDUCED ONE OF THEM IS
THE STATE COASTAL CONSERVANCY'S
COASTAL ACQUISITION PROGRAM.
THIS IS A PROGRAM WHERE THEY
HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED SPECIFIC
PROJECTS YET SO AGAIN MAY BE. AN
IMPORTANT. KIND OF PROGRAM BUT
IT MAY NOT BE QUITE AS URGENT TO
FIND IN THIS BUDGET YEAR-
SIMILAR WITH THAT- SCENERIES
TRIBAL NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS OR
TRAVEL NATURE BASED PROGRAM.
AGAIN THIS MAKES IT AN
IMPORTANT- A PURPOSE TO HELP.
RIGHT HISTORICAL WRONGS. UP BUT
IT'S STILL IN DEVELOPMENT STILL
VERY EARLY THERE STILL I'M
CONSULTING WITH TRIBES ON THE
GUIDANCE GUIDELINES FOR THE
PROGRAM. SO THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE
DELAYED. OR POTENTIALLY REDUCED
IF THAT WASN'T AS MUCH OF A
PRIORITY- DEPENDING ON ON KIND
OF LEGISLATURE. GOAL THEY'RE
ALSO COUPLE PROGRAMS ON IT TO
HIGHLIGHT. THAT THE LEGISLATURE
COULD COULD CONSIDER REDUCE.
BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER SIMILAR
FUNDING IN THE BUDGET ONE IS-
PEERS COMMUNITY BASED PUBLIC
AWARENESS CAMPAIGN. THAT'S A
PROGRAM- OR NEW ENDEAVOR THAT
WOULD FOCUS PUBLIC AWARENESS AND
EXTREME HEAT. CLEARLY AN
IMPORTANT NEED FOR THE STATE-
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE
HIGHLIGHT IS THE- CARE RECENTLY
RECEIVED ON GOING FUNDING. FOR
THAT FOR A PUBLIC AWARENESS
OFFICE. AND SO WE THINK IT'S- A
IT'S ONE THING THE LEGISLATURE
COULD CONSIDER IS HAVING THE
OFFICE FOCUS MORNING STREAM
HEAT. I'M POTENTIALLY REDUCING
SOME OF THE SPECIFIC ALLOCATED
MONEY IN THIS AREA BECAUSE
POTENTIALLY THERE'S SOME OVERLAP
THERE- ANOTHER SIMILAR- ON THE
SIMILAR VEIN. THEIR VARIOUS
PROGRAMS THAT MEET SIMILAR
NEEDS- THAT TO EACH OTHER- THAT
WILDLIFE CONSERVATION BOARD HAS
VARIOUS PROGRAMS D. W. BARS HAVE
HABITAT RESTORATION PROGRAM AND
- ALSO THERE'S THAT CDFW
PROGRAM- THAT ARE ALL WITHIN THE
NATURE BI SOLUTIONS PACKAGE-
AND- WE TALK ABOUT THE
SIMILARLY- AND SOME OF THE WATER
IN DROUGHT CONVERSATIONS BUT
THERE ARE. A NUMBER OF SIMILAR
PROGRAMS SO THOSE ARE ONES THAT
LEGISLATURE CONSIDER WHETHER AS
A WHOLE- THERE'S ANY OPPORTUNITY
FOR POTENTIAL REDUCTION AGAIN
DEPENDING ON LEGISLATIVE
PRIORITIES SO- WE THINK. YOU
HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS- AND
DEPENDING ON HOW YOU WEIGH ALL
OF ALL OF YOUR PRIORITIES AND
YOU COULD USE THE GOVERNOR'S.
PACKAGES OR YOU COULD DO
SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT. THANKS
MATT WHICH WOULD ALLOW YOU SAID
ARE. THAT THERE'S OTHER SIMILAR
FOR. I'M SO COUPLE OF THE ONES
THAT WE HIGHLIGHTED WERE THAT
THE COMMUNITY BASED PUBLIC
AWARENESS CAMPAIGN JUST BECAUSE
THEY HAVE SOME BASE SPENDING-
THAT WAS RECENTLY IMPLEMENTED I
THINK IT'S SIXTY FIVE MILLION OF
A BASE FUNDING. FOR PUBLIC
AWARENESS AND OPR- SO THAT'S
PRETTY SIMILAR AND THEN WITH
THAT PROGRAMS FOR- SORT OF
NATURE BASED PROGRAMS THERE
VARIETY OF THEM. LET ME SEE
THERE'S THE- YES. I'M SO FOR
EXAMPLE- THE WHILE THE
CONSERVATION BOARD HAS PROGRAMS
FOR PROTECTING FISH AND WILDLIFE
AND CHANGING CONDITIONS-
STREAMFLOW ENHANCE EXTREME PHONE
HANDS MY PROGRAM- IT HAD YOU
HAVE YOU ARE HAS HABITAT
RESTORATION FUNDING- AQUATIC
HABITAT FUNDING- THERE'S A-
THERE'S A QUITE AN EXTENSIVE
LIST WE CAN PROVIDE THAT AND-
IT'S UP TO ME OUTLINED IN THE
REPORT THAT WE- ARE PREPARED
EARLIER THIS YEAR. BUT THEY'RE
READY PRINCE AGAIN THEY'RE
THEY'RE NOT ALL IDENTICAL BUT
THEY ALL KIND OF MEAT SIMILAR
TYPES OF PURPOSES SO THINKING
ABOUT THEM IN CONCERT WILL BE
IMPORTANT- AND ALSO I THINK THIS
IS A MEDIA BROADER KIND OF ISSUE
WHERE WE HAVE ALL OF THESE
PACKAGES- AND THERE IS SOME
OVERLAP IN THE PACKAGES AND SO.
THINKING ABOUT NOT JUST NATURE
BASED SOLUTIONS BY ITSELF BUT
THINKING ABOUT WELL HOW DOES
THAT RELATE TO THE COASTAL MONEY
RIGHT TO MOTHER NATURE KIND OF
RELATED PROJECTS HOW DOES THAT
THINK ABOUT HOW DOES THAT
COMPARE- TO THE DROUGHT- AND
WIDER CONVERSATION AND SOME OF
THE PROGRAMS- YOU KNOW THEY'RE
FUNDED IN ONE PACKAGE ARE ALSO
SOMETIMES FUNDED SOMEWHAT IN
OTHER PACKAGES TO SO. I'M
THINKING ABOUT IT AS A WHOLE I'M
GIVING. YOUR PRIORITIES WHERE
YOU WANT TO PUT THOSE DOLLARS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FUTURE.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO LA ONLY
HAVE LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT
OPINION ON- ONE OF THE ISSUES
SO- IT WOULD LIKELY TO TAKE A
TALK ABOUT THE TRIBAL IN NATURE
BASED SOLUTIONS PROGRAM SO- AS
WE ALL KNOW I AM VERY GRATEFUL
THE GOVERNOR HAS ALLOCATED A
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS OVER TWO
YEARS. TO FOCUS ON THIS NATURE
BASED SOLUTIONS PROGRAM. AND
WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT. TRIBES
ON APPLYING FOR TRADITIONAL
CALIFORNIA STATE GRANTS THAT
PROCESS SIMPLY DOESN'T WORK
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE. IMPLEMENTED
A NEW FIRE GRANT PROGRAM FOR
TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS TO BE A REPLY
FOR THAT'S WHY WE'RE NOW LOOKING
AT LEGISLATION THAT WILL SET
ASIDE THREE HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION FOR. TRIBAL HOUSING-
WHICH BY THE WAY SOME OF THE
MOST- ACTUALLY HOUSED RESIDENTS
IN THE STATE. AT LIVE ON TRIBAL
LANDS. IN THAT IS WHY THIS
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS OVER TWO
YEARS IS SO CRITICAL. ON END IF
THIS STATE IS SERIOUS ABOUT
WALKING ITS TALK AND RETURNING
IN SISTER ELAINE TO TRIBES WHICH
IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO THEN.
CANDIDLY WE'RE GONNA NEED TO BE
ABLE TO. PRESERVE THIS INTO THE
BUDGET- THERE ARE- LAND BACKED
INITIATIVES. THROUGHOUT THE
STATE IN ALMOST EVERY SENATORIAL
DISTRICT- IN WIN- A TRIBAL
GOVERNMENT RECEIVES THE LAND
BACK. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT
EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH TAKING
ON THAT LAND IT COULD BE
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS LIKE
WHAT WE SEE HERE ON THE NORTH
COAST IT COULD BE ISSUES IN
REGARDS TO SEWER STEWARDSHIP IT
COULD BE ISSUES OF PROTECTING-
SACRED SITES. BUT I THINK IT IS-
IT WOULD BE A BAD PRECEDENT TO
BE ABLE TO. CUT THIS HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS OR HOWEVER WE
WANT TO DESCRIBE IT- DESCRIBED
AS A KITE- BUT I'LL TURN IT OVER
TO THE NATURAL. RESOURCES AGENCY
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTACT
DEPUTY SECRETARY- BUT I'LL JUST
SAY THAT SAID THIS IS SOMETHING
WE'RE GONNA FIGHT TO BE A
KEEPING. THANK YOU RUN THE SAME
SIDE OF THIS ISSUE. WELL WHAT I
WOULD THINK YOU A SENATOR
MCGUIRE AND- THANK YOU ALL FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO FOR
YOU ALL TODAY- YES SO WE ARE-
VERY. EXCITED AND HONORED TO
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
ESTABLISH THE NEW TRIBAL NATURE
BASED SOLUTIONS PROGRAM AND ARE
WELL UNDERWAY AND FINALIZING
THIS GRANT GUIDELINES AND
GETTING THOSE MONIES OUT THE
DOOR- JUSTICE- A BIT OF
BACKGROUND ABOUT THE WORK THAT
WE'VE BEEN DOING TO. SET UP THIS
PROGRAM- WE'VE HAD EXTENSIVE-
TRIBAL CONSULTATIONS INTERTRIBAL
WORKSHOPS BOTH THE VIRTUAL
HYBRID IN IN PERSON- BEFORE EVEN
PUT PEN TO PAPER ON THE DRAFTING
GUIDELINES AND NOW DURING OUR- A
CONSULTATION PERIOD ON THOSE
DRAFTING GUIDELINES AND- I AM
VERY HONORED TO HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO. CONNECT WITH
REPRESENTATIVES FROM FORTY TWO
DIFFERENT CALIFORNIA NATIVE
AMERICAN TRIBES ACROSS THE
STATE- AND REALLY A HUGE
APPRECIATION FOR- BIG VALLEY
BAND OF POMO INDIANS THE WE GOT
TRIED. BIG PINE PI YOU OF-
INTELLI AND SENDING AS BAND OF
CHUMASH INDIANS FOR HOSTING OUR
REGIONAL WORKSHOPS AND CONVENING
ALL OF US TO HAVE THIS
CONVERSATION AROUND. THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE GRANT
PROGRAM. I IN IN ALL OF THESE
CONVERSATIONS IT'S BECOME VERY
APPARENT THAT- WE'RE WE'RE
ANTICIPATING THAT THIS PROGRAM
IS GOING TO BE OVER SUBSCRIBED-
AND WE'VE BEEN HEARING
CONSISTENTLY FROM TRIBES THAT-
YOU KNOW THEY'RE EXCITED ABOUT
THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER WITH.
THE STATE IN IMPLEMENTING THEIR
MULTI BENEFIT NATURE BASED
SOLUTIONS PROGRAMS- WHETHER THAT
BE RESTORATION- WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT- OF WORKING WITH OUR
NATURAL WORKING LANDS AS WELL AS
ANCESTRAL LAND RETURNED- AND-
FOLKS ARE READY THEY HAVE THEIR
PROJECTS READY TO GO THERE LIKE
FINALIZES GOING GUIDELINES AND
WE'LL WE'LL GET THIS GOING AND
SO WE'RE- WE'RE WELL ON WAY TO
GET THOSE MONIES OUT- ENDS. YEAH
HAPPY TO GO INTO MORE DETAILS IF
THAT'S HELPFUL BUT- TO THANK YOU
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR- IF IT'S ALL RIGHT
ON THAT AND AGAIN TO THANK YOU
FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS AND IS.
TWO YEARS IN THE MAKING- LEGALLY
CAN HUNDREDS OF FOLKS IN EVERY
CORNER OF THE STATE. THERE IS A
PROJECT- ON THE NORTH COAST
WHERE WE ARE IN OUR THIRD YEAR.
THE REASON WHY WE DON'T SEE
APPLICANTS IS BECAUSE THERE HAS
NEVER BEEN ANY MONEY. THIS IS
THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF
THE STATE. WE'RE DOING THE RIGHT
THING OF GIVING LAND BACK. THAT
WAS. AND SISTERLY I TRIED TO
LEAN TO BEGIN WITH- IT'S GOING
TO BE EXPENSIVE. IN I WOULD
REALLY HOPE THAT WE CAN. LOOK AT
THIS AND PRESERVE THIS FUNDING
AND DO WHAT IS HE THINKING AND
EVERY SECTOR FOR YOUR WORK ON
THIS BLESSED THANK YOU DISSECTOR
CROWFOOT. WHO HAS BEEN
INSTRUMENTAL AS WELL AS THE
GOVERNOR ON THIS ISSUE SO THANK
YOU SO MUCH. GIPSON I JUST LIKE
TO UP ON THAT TOO BECAUSE- YOU
KNOW WE THINK OF TRIBAL LANDS WE
THINK OF. NO THE TRIBES THAT
HAVE GAMING AND SENATE MCGUIRE
AND I REPRESENT. A THIRD OF THE
STATE'S LAND MASS TOGETHER. AND
MANY OF OUR OUR- THAT NATIVE
AMERICANS DON'T HAVE GAMING AND
THEY'RE REALLY POOR. AT THE END
OF THE DAY THEY DON'T HAVE THE
RESOURCES TO DO A LOT OF THESE
THINGS. ON THEIR OWN SO- I'M IN
LOCKSTEP WITH THE SENATOR
MCGUIRE ON THIS ISSUE AND- I
THINK WE NEEDED DO YOU KNOW. THE
QUIT KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE
ROAD ACTUALLY MAKE SOMETHING
HAPPEN SO ON THAT ISSUE BUT I DO
HAVE A QUESTION- NOT IN THIS
AREA BUT IT'S OUT BECAUSE THE
GENTLEMAN. STEPPED AWAY ON THE
HEATING- BUT I WANTED TO ASK-
YEAH I DON'T. KNOW WELL US I MET
WITH OPR EXTRACTION THE DOCTOR
MY OFFICE YESTERDAY. BUT I
WANTED TO ASK A QUESTION ABOUT
WE HAD THE COSTA CONSERVANCY AND
HAVE ALL THESE PROJECTS. THE
RATE OF FUND- AND WE TALK ABOUT
THE CUTBACKS- YOU KNOW IN THE L.
A. O. MENTION LIKE THE W. C. B-
I WILL TELL YOU. WILDLIFE
CONSERVATION BOARD THEY HAVE
PROJECTS LINED OUT FOR A LONG
TIME THERE'S A THERE'S PEOPLE
WAITING. TO DO GOOD.
CONSERVATION WORK- BUT ON THE
ISSUE OF LIKE THE- HE EXTREMELY
STEP THERE WAS NO. THERE THERE
WAS REALLY NO SAYING WHAT
PROJECTS WERE OUT THERE ONE.
SENATOR BACKER OUT SO CAN I. CAN
YOU GIVE MORE DETAIL ON THAT
BECAUSE I WANT TO KNOW. MAYBE
WE'RE NOT AT THE POINT WHERE WE
SHOULD LOOK AT THAT AS FUNNY
BECAUSE WE'RE NOT READY TO INPUT
IT WAS SUMMER AND GET THE MONEY
OUT. THERE MANY PROJECTS- IN
THIS THE ISSUE HERE THAT HAVE. A
LACK OF FUNDING WERE AND THE
PROJECT TO READY TO GO SO COULD
YOU TOUCH ON THAT A LITTLE BIT
MORE MAYBE. HI. YEAH THANKS FOR
THE QUESTION- I THINK YOU'RE
YOU'RE RIGHT WE- OF MY NAME IS
ABBY EDWARDS- AND THEY WORK FOR
THE INTEGRATED CLIMATE
ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCY
PROGRAM- HELPING GET THIS
EXTREME HEAT PROGRAM UNDER WAY.
I'M YEAH YOU KNOW THIS IS THE
FIRST OF ITS KIND TYPE OF
FUNDING- YOU KNOW WE KNOW THAT
EXTREME HEAT EVENTS ARE
INCREASING WITH CLIMATE CHANGE.
AND YOU KNOW IT REALLY IMPACTS
COMMUNITIES INC IMPACTS
COMMUNITIES DIFFERENTLY- THERE
IS YOU KNOW COMMUNITIES THAT
HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY MORE COOL
THAT ARE GETTING HOTTER. AND
HAVE LEFT THE DOCK- ADAPTIVE
CAPACITY AND TO ADAPT TO THE
HEAT. AND SIMILARLY- HOTTER
AREAS ARE GETTING HOTTER- AND
ALL OF THIS IS YOU KNOW
INCREASING WITH CLIMATE CHANGE
AND SO I THINK THERE'S BEEN A
LOT OF MOMENTUM BUILT TO DEVELOP
A PROGRAM LIKE THIS THAT HELPS
COMMUNITIES. HAVE COMPREHENSIVE
PLANS TO ADOPT TO EXTREME HEAT
AND SO I'M YOU KNOW WE KNOW THE
EXTREME HEAT IMPACTS MULTIPLE
SECTORS IMPACTS PEOPLE
DIFFERENTLY OUTDOOR WORKERS- YOU
KNOW VULNERABLE POPULATIONS AND
PEOPLE WITH HEALTH CONCERNS TO
ACROSS THE BOARD. AND THERE'S
NOT A PROGRAM THAT EXISTS THAT
TAKES A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AT
THIS ISSUE- AND SO ONE THING
THAT THIS PROGRAM IS REALLY
INTENDING TO FIND IS THESE
COMPREHENSIVE HE ACTION PLAN SO
THAT'S MY POINT ARIA. WHEN WE
ASK. THE COASTAL CONSERVANCY
THEY HAVE PROJECTS READY TO GO
SO RISE THIS MORE OF A PLANNING
WE'RE IN THE PLANNING STAGES
WHAT WHAT AS I ASK WHAT I WANT
TO KNOW WHERE WE ARE IN THE
PROCESS YEAH WINDS ARE VECTOR
ASK GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF. THE
PROJECT AND HE MENTIONED YOU
KNOW THAT PUTTING HEAT PUMPS AND
SOME IS HOME SO THEY CAN CALL
THEIR HOUSE. AND WE DIDN'T SO
WHAT WHERE WE OUT WITHOUT DESK I
THINK. WE NEED TO KNOW THAT
BECAUSE- OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW THAT
IS HAPPENING BUT WHAT YES THAT
HOW HAS BEEN THE MONEY AND WHAT
WAS A PROJECT LOOK LIKE. YES SO
THERE'S FUNDING IN THIS POT FOR
BOTH PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION
PROJECTS SO IT CAN BE YOU KNOW
AT A BUS STOP CREATING A NATURAL
SHADE STRUCTURE PLANTING TREES-
INVESTING IN OF OPERATIVE
COOLING DOING AND COOL PAVEMENTS
COOL ROOFS. DIFFERENT TYPES OF
TECHNOLOGIES THAT CAN REDUCE THE
URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT IN
COMMUNITIES- AND THEN ALSO THIS
LIKE THIS PLAN- THE PLANNING
FUNDING FOR WORKING AT A LOCAL
AND REGIONAL SCALE AT PLANS THAT
EXISTS TO INCORPORATE HEAT-
FACTORS INTO THEM AND SO.
WHETHER THAT STANDALONE PLANS.
OR THROUGH CREATING THESE REALLY
COMMUNITY INFORMED- APPROACHES I
THINK THAT THERE IS THERE'S
OPPORTUNITY FOR BOTH TYPES OF
PROJECTS DOING THAT. WHO'S
ACTUALLY. GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF-
A COMMUNITY LET'S SAY SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY WHERE WE KNOW
WE'RE HAVING EXTREME HEAT.
ISSUES IS THAT HOW HOW IS IT
YEAH SO IMPLEMENTED RIGHT NOW
THERE'S REALLY THAT I CAN THINK
OF TO- COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE
REALLY CONSIDERED HEAT INTO
THEIR- GENERAL PLANS AND OTHERS
SO THERE'S- THE CITY OF OAK
GROVE- AND THE CITY OF LOS
ANGELES ARE REALLY. I'M
CONSIDERING INCORPORATING HEAT
INTO THEIR DIFFERENT PLANS THAT
THAT ARE IN PLACE- AND SO
THERE'S EXAMPLES OUT THERE BUT
AGAIN IT'S SORT OF- THERE'S AN
OPPORTUNITY HERE TO REALLY HELP
PEOPLE PROVIDE FUNDING. TO THINK
ABOUT THIS COMPREHENSIVE ISSUE.
YOU CAN GO. GET THAT THING OUT
AT IT IS THAT ONE THE POINTS IS.
PEOPLE WANT TO DO THIS BUT I
HAVEN'T HAD FUNDING OR THE
EXPERTISE TO DO IT IN THE PAST.
AND SO THIS IS REALLY A FIRST
STEP TO ITS ASSISTING THOSE
COMMUNITIES INTO GETTING THESE
THESE PROJECTS. MOVING FORWARD
AND IMPLEMENTED AND SO I EAT WE
ARE IN THE PLANNING PHASE WE ARE
LEARNING AND THAT IS. PART OF
WHAT THAT THE STAKEHOLDER
FEEDBACK HAS BEEN AS- YOU KNOW
WE NEED HELP TO UNDERSTAND WHAT
ARE THE BEST THINGS WE CAN DO
FOR OUR COMMUNITIES. TO DEAL
WITH THAT THIS THIS ISSUE THAT
IS FAIRLY NEW IT'S BEEN AROUND
FOR A WHILE BUT IS OBVIOUSLY
GOTTEN QUITE WORSE IN RECENT
YEARS SO IS THERE SO DO THESE
COMMUNITIES COMMON APPLY FOR
GRANTS OR- I HAD. IT YESTERDAY I
HAD THE- TRACTOR OF OPR MY
OFFICE AND THEY'RE DOING A
SIMILAR OR- TYPE OF THING WITH
THEIR OUT REACH. AND SO I'M I
GUESS I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
THE PROGRAM ACTUALLY CAN WORK SO
THEY THEY APPLY FOR GRANTS OF
CITY CITY OF EL GROW. APPLIED
FOR GRANT TO DO NOW NOW THIS IS
THIS IS A THIS IS A BRAND NEW
PROGRAM SIR. SO THIS IS THIS IS
A HAS IT WE'RE WE ARE LITERALLY
KICKING IT OFF TOMORROW AT OUR
TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEETING. AND SO THAT'S THE FIRST
STEP IN IN AND DEVELOPING THE
GRANT GUIDELINES WHICH WE HOPE
WILL PLAN ON HAVING DONE BY THIS
FALL TO GET MONEY OUT IN EARLY
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR. OKAY ONE
MORE THING TO ON THIS AND A LOT
OF THE INTERESTS OF THIS PROGRAM
CAME OUT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE HE ACTION PLAN- THAT THE
STATE DEAD THAT'S A
COMPREHENSIVE LOOK AND- AND ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT WAS- I-
IDENTIFIED AS IN NEED FOR A
FUNDING PROGRAM LIKE THIS. AND
TO TAKE THIS COMPREHENSIVE LOOK-
BOTH IN PLANNING AND
IMPLEMENTATION- AND THERE'S YOU
KNOW WE DO HAVE FUNDING KIND OF
SET ASIDE TO BE ABLE TO.
EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
SOME OF THESE INTERVENTIONS WE
ARE SORT OF AT THE BEGINNING
STAGES AND WE DON'T KNOW
NECESSARILY HOW EFFECTIVE. SOME
STRATEGIES WILL BE- TO REALLY
REDUCE THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND
EFFECT OR- OTHER OTHERS AND SO
THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO KIND
OF EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
SOME OF THESE INTERVENTIONS AS
WELL. SORRY I. SO ARE IN G.
GOING TO THIS FOR YOU EXPECTING.
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO DO OR WHO
YOU EXPECTING TO DO THIS WORK
YEAH SO IN THE IN THE- CHAIR
BILL THERE'S- LANGUAGE THAT SAYS
THAT- KIND OF. MULTI STAKEHOLDER
PARTNERSHIPS ARE REQUIRED AND SO
WE ARE IMAGINING NGOS PARTNERING
WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO HELP.
SORT OF INFORMED THAT THE
PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THERE'S
COMMUNITY- FEEDBACK AND BUY IN
AND ENGAGEMENT WITH THE FULL
PROCESS. THANK YOU. MISTER
CHAIRMAN MAKE A QUICK COMMENT
SURE RETAILERS WITH THE L. A. R.
I THINK CENTER DOLLY THIS IS
REALLY HIGHLIGHTING. BOTH THE
SCOPE OF THE INVESTMENTS THAT
THE LEGISLATURE HAS MADE IN
RECENT YEARS AND ALSO SOME OF
THE DIFFICULT DECISIONS BEFORE
YOU WHERE YOU NEED THE
LEGISLATURE PUT A LOT OF MONEY
INTO EXISTING. TESTED PROGRAMS
THAT HAVE LONG BACKLOGS OF
PROGRAMS IN A READY TO GO BUT
YOU ALSO MADE INVESTMENTS IN
BRAND NEW INITIAL EFFORTS WHERE
THE STATE HASN'T PLAYED A ROLE
YET AND REALLY IN MANY CASES IS
GOING TO NEED TO. IN THE CASE OF
EXTREME HEAT BECAUSE OF THE
PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGES AND SO
AS YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT YOUR
PACKAGE YOU KNOW PART OF OUR
GUIDANCE. FOR YOU IS TO THINK IS
TO WASTE SOME OF THESE TRADE
OFFS OF HOW QUICKLY CAN WE GET
THINGS GOING WE HAVE. WE IT'S A
TESTED PROGRAM WE KNOW WORKS
LET'S LET'S CONTINUE WORKING ON
THAT. VERSES OKAY THIS IS
SOMETHING NEW BUT WE NEED TO GET
GOING AND WE NEED TO TRY AND WE
DON'T WANT TO STEP AWAY. SO AS
YOU THINK ABOUT THESE DIFFICULT
CHOICES YOU KNOW ONE OPTION IS.
PERHAPS SCALING SOME DOWN AND
MAKING. IT CRITICALLY FOR
INITIAL EFFORTS MORE OF A PILOT.
TO TEST SOMETHING FIRST BEFORE
YOU MAKE LARGE INVESTMENTS BUT
MAKING SURE YOU'RE COLLECTING
DATA TO LEARN FROM IT- VERSES
MAYBE ON THE OTHER ARGUMENT WELL
WE'VE INVESTED IN THIS TYPE OF
EFFORT FOR A LONG TIME THEY'VE
HAD A LOT OF MONEY MAYBE IT'S
BETTER TO PRIORITIZE A NEW. SO
THESE ARE REALLY DIFFICULT TRADE
OFFS- BECAUSE OF THE SCOPE OF
PROGRAMS THAT THE LEGISLATURE
CHOSE TO FUND. AND ALSO NOW THE
SCOPE OF THE- BUDGET PROBLEM
THAT YOU NEED TO SOLVE. THANK
YOU I THINK THAT'S WRONG TRYING
TO DETERMINE RIGHT INTO THE DAY
IT'S- YOU KNOW UNDER THIS
GOVERNOR WE HAVE. CREATED MORE
PROGRAMS AND WE'VE CREATED UNDER
ANY OTHER GOVERNOR IN THE
HISTORY OF OUR- STATE THAT I'M
AWARE OF- AND WE KNOW. THAT WE
CAN FOR LOW INCOME DISADVANTAGED
FOLKS WHO COULD WHO DON'T HAVE
THE RIGHT KIND OF WINDOWS IN THE
RIGHT KIND OF. HEAT PUMP IN THE
HOME THAT WE CAN JUST GOING TO
RETROFIT WE CAN HELP THEM
IMMEDIATELY WE KNOW THAT PROGRAM
ACTUALLY WORKS IT DRIVES OUR
COST OF ENERGY DOWN AND IT
ACTUALLY. GIVES THEM THE ABILITY
TO BE ABLE TO. CALL THEIR HOME
AN ETERNAL. AT A AT A FIXED
RATE. SO NOW WE'RE IN A
DIFFERENT TIME WHERE WE JUST WE
ALL THESE PROGRAMS IT COST MONEY
TO. IMPLEMENT A CROAK PROGRAM
HIRE PEOPLE DO ALL THOSE THINGS
WHEN WE KNOW WE HAVE TROOPS.
PROVEN PROGRAMS THAT JUST DON'T
THEY JUST NEED MORE FUNDING TO
ACTUALLY GO DO SOME WORK SO
THOSE ARE THE TRADE OFFS. THAT
WE HAVE TO DECIDE- OBVIOUSLY
ALONG WITH ADMINISTRATION TO
FIGURE OUT WHERE WE'RE GOING TO
HEAD. AND SO. WITH THESE
REDUCTIONS I'M TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT WHERE WE ARE AT THE PROCESS.
SO THAT WE CAN THEN SAVE IS THIS
IS THIS WISE TO GO FURTHER OR IS
IT MAYBE DO OF. A SMALL PILOT
PROJECT IN SOME OF THESE ARE IS
WHAT WE KNOW WE HAVE. EXTREME
MEAT AND SOME OF THE LOCALS ARE
ALREADY. TALKING ABOUT DOING IT
BUT INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT A
STATEWIDE- I MEAN IN MY DISTRICT
HEATING IS A IT'S A SONG THE
OTHER SIDE IT'S- WE HAD MINUS.
TEN DEGREES THIS YEAR AT MY HOME
RIGHT WELL EATING IT FOR THE
DISADVANTAGED FOLKS IS A- IS
ISSUE THERE- NOT COOLING THE
SUMMER BUT HEATING IN THE WINTER
SO. IT WORKS BOTH WAYS- BUT-
WE'RE WE'RE GONNA BE TASKED WITH
YOU KNOW- REDUCING. RATE
REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT OF.
FUNDS AVAILABLE. AND WE NEED TO
BE WISE ABOUT HOW WE DO IT SO
THOSE QUESTIONS NEED TO BE
ANSWERED. NOT ONLY. FROM YOU ALL
BUT BY THE LEGISLATURE ALSO
THAT'S WHY I'M TRYING TO
DETERMINE IS. WARY OUTLOOK. WE
TALK ABOUT CUTTING. SOME OF
THESE PROGRAMS THAT I KNOW
TRADITIONALLY. HAVE WORK FOREVER
. AND THERE'S A- BACKLOG OF
ACTUALLY APPLICANTS WAITING FOR
FUNDING- THOSE ARE EASY FOR ME
TO SAY HEY WE NEED TO FUND THOSE
BECAUSE WE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
DOING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT WE
KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING FOR.
THIS THAT WOULD THESE NEW
PROGRAMS WE HAVE TO DETERMINE
THAT SO THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING
TO DO IS. FLUSHED OUT SO WHEN WE
GET TO THE FULL BUDGET. WE CAN
HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS AND YOU
KNOW EDUCATE THE REST OF
MEMBERS. THAT ARE HERE IN THESE
IN THESE HEARINGS WITH US SO
THANK YOU. DID YOU HAVE A
COMMENT. SURE CHRISTOPHER
DEPARTMENT FINANCE- SO I AGREE
WITH SORT OF THE ELIAS'S
COMMENTS ABOUT KIND OF NEEDING
TO LOOK AT THIS HOLISTICALLY AND
I THINK IT WENT INTO THE
ADMINISTRATION'S FRAMEWORK AND-
IN TERMS OF TRYING TO MAKE
DECISIONS ON THE REDUCTION SO.
YOU HAVE THE EXTREME HEAT
COMMITTEE RESIGNS PROGRAM DOES
HAVE. A REDUCTION BUT- I THINK
THE THING I WANTED TO POINT OUT
IN THIS AREA AS OPPOSED TO SOME
OF THE OTHER AREAS WHERE THERE
MAY BE NEW PROGRAMS IS THAT.
EXTREME HEAT AND- SORT OF THE
STATE'S RESPONSE TO EXTREME
HEAT- I'M- DEFICIT WAS DIFFERENT
THAN SOME OF THESE OTHER NEW
PROGRAMS IT'S REALLY A NEW AREA
OF INVESTMENT FOR. THE STATE AND
SO IN THIS SPACE YOU ARE GOING
TO HAVE. QUITE A FEW OF THESE
SORT OF NEWER APPROACHES AND
THINKING- IN TERMS OF HOW WE'RE
GONNA RESPOND TO IT SO. I WOULD
PUT IT IN A IN A SLIGHTLY
SEPARATE CATEGORIES AND SOME OF
THE OTHER NEW PROGRAMS THAT HAVE
BEEN CONTEMPLATED IN THAT. IN
THIS SPACE THAT SORT OF THE
REALITY THAT THAT THE STATE HAS
NOT. INVESTED IN A LOT OF TIME.
PROGRAMS AND IN THIS AREA WHICH
IS WHY AND THIS WAS A
LEGISLATIVE INVESTMENT LAST YEAR
WHICH IS WHY- IT WAS. THIS SORT
OF SORT OF INCLUDED SO I JUST
WANT TO MAKE A LITTLE BIT OF US.
A DISTINCTION THERE WHEN WE'RE
THINKING ABOUT. A NEW PROGRAM
INVESTMENTS AND HOW WE ABOUT
WHAT ONE OF THE ONE OF THE-
CHALLENGES AS A LEGISLATOR
THOUGH IS WHEN WE WORK WITH NGOS
WHO ARE. NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATIONS. WHEN THOSE FUNDS
GO OUT IT'S HARD FOR US TO TRACK
OF THAT. ACTUALLY THE MOUNT
WORDS WHERE THE MONEY GOES WE'VE
SEEN THAT WITH. CAST OF FUNDS
WHEN IT BECOMES WOULD NOT THAT'S
FOR BROADBAND ISSUES BUT- AS A
LEGISLATOR WHEN YOU HAVE THESE
NGOS. WORKING WITH GOVERNMENT-
IT'S HARD FOR US TO DO A GOOD
AUDIT TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY
WHAT'S HAPPENING BECAUSE-
THEY'RE THEY'RE EXEMPT FROM THE
PROCESSES SO. ON THAT'S WHY I
WAS WONDERING. WHO'S GOING TO DO
THE WORK IS IT IS IT THE CITY IS
THAT THE COUNTY IS IT. IS IT AN
NGO. SO WE CAN KIND OF FIGURE
OUT WHERE WE CAN BECAUSE WE NEED
IT. THAT THE DATA BACK. TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT. IS THE BEST WAY
TO SPEND THE RESOURCES THAT ARE.
GETTING LESS AND LESS EVERY DAY.
SO THANK YOU. I THANK YOU. IN
THE- PROCESS WE DO NEED TO. ON I
. IF YOU WANT TO. ASK YOU KNOW
WAS OUT PLANES. IN A- LOW
INCOME. SCHOOL COMMUNITY AND-
WELL IT'S DOING THAT THEY SAID.
HEY THIS IS FUNDED URBAN
FORESTRY PROGRAM- WHICH- WHICH
IS GETTING CUT AND I THEY SAID
WAS BEING ZEROED OUT OF IT LOOKS
HERE THAT THERE'S STILL. MAYBE
TEN MILLION- BUT MAYBE GET CUT
IN HALF. SOME SUCH KIND OF
CLARIFY THAT. TURN OF
CALIFORNIA. COULD SPEAK ABOUT.
THE URBAN FORESTRY PROGRAM. ALL
STAR HIGH LEVEL WHILE THEY'RE
COMING UP HERE IN TERMS OF WHAT
THE REDUCTIONS ARE IN THIS SPACE
SO THERE'S THE URBAN GREENING
PROGRAM. AND THEN THERE'S THE
URBAN FORESTRY PROGRAM WHICH
HAVE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES THERE
ARE SOME DISTINCTIONS BUT THE
URBAN. GREENING PROGRAM THERE IS
A HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION
THAT'S BEING MAINTAINED. ON THE
URBAN FORESTRY SIDE THERE IS
EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS THAT'S
BEEN RETAINED FOR THAT PROGRAM.
EIGHTY MILLION OF URBAN FORESTRY
I DON'T SEE THAT. YES SO THERE'S
A TWENTY MILLION REDUCTIL
REDUCTION IN TWENTY TWO TWENTY
THREE AND TEN MILLION IN TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR I THINK MAYBE.
I'M PART OF THE CONFUSION I
THINK THE INVESTMENTS I'M IN
THIS SPACE WERE SPREAD ACROSS A
COUPLE DIFFERENT- INVESTMENT
AREAS SO IT WASN'T. IN A SINGLE
PACKAGE- SO THIS IS THE
COLLECTIVE AMOUNT THAT'S BEING
RETAINED. IN HIS RIGHT EIGHTY
MILLION OVER WHAT YEARS WHAT CAN
BE SPENT NEXT THIS YEAR AND NEXT
YEAR ON OVER FORESTRY.
I WILL HAVE TO MAYBE. I DON'T
THINK THAT'S RIGHT SO IT'S. I'LL
HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU BECAUSE
I THINK- THERE'S AT LEAST TWENTY
MILLION THAT'S BEING MAINTAINED
IN TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO AND
THEN I'M- I'LL HAVE TO GET BACK
TO YOUR- PEOPLE'S MAKING. YEAH
THE B. GRADE BECAUSE THEY WERE
SINCE BEEN ZEROED OUT I DON'T
THINK IT'S THE MILLION BUT MAYBE
THERE'S SOME. PORTION OF FUNDING
THAT'S AVAILABLE- BUT I'M- I
MEAN TO ME THESE ARE THESE ARE
HUGE BANG FOR THE BUCK- BECAUSE
IT'S- A FUN THESE FANTASTIC
VOLUNTEER PROGRAM. ACTUALLY KIDS
ARE PAID TO. PLANT TREES IN
THESE URBAN COMMUNITIES WHERE
THERE'S A HUGE NEED- AND IT'S
SAFE IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE- YOU
KNOW COMMUNITY ACTIVITY- AND
KIDS ARE GETTING PAID AND
LEARNING AND YOU KNOW PROVIDES
THE MUCH NEEDED SHADE AND- AND
SUCH- BECAUSE OUR OTHER PROGRAM
AND COMMENT YEAH. I WANTED TO
HIGHLIGHT THE IS BRING FROM THE
NATURAL RESOURCES AGENCY GOING
BACK TO WHAT WE WERE JUST
TALKING ABOUT ABOUT
IMPLEMENTATION- KNOWN PROGRAMS-
THESE PROGRAMS ARE VERY POPULAR
AND HAVE- HAVE BEEN.
HISTORICALLY AND CONSISTENTLY
OVER SUBSCRIBED SO- JUST WANTED
TO HIGHLIGHT THAT WE JUST
AWARDED FIFTY MILLION TO FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS THAT WE HAD IN
URBAN GREENING FOR TWENTY THREE
NEW PROJECTS. AND A VERY LARGE
PERCENTAGE OF THOSE PROJECTS
WERE AND DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES OF THE MONEY IS
GOING OUT THE DOOR IT'S FOR VERY
VALUABLE PROJECTS AND- MENUS ARE
SAVING SERVICE. SURE THANK EACH
RECORD US HUNDRED DOLLY RAY- CAL
PRETTY FOR NATURI- YES WE'RE IN
I WILL CERTAINLY DIFFER
DEPARTMENT FINANCE BUT WE'RE
VIEWING THIS AS A THIRTY MILLION
DOLLAR CUT IN SO WHEN WE LOOK
BACK AT THE WAY WE ADMINISTERED
FUNDS IN TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO-
THAT THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS-
THAT WE ADMINISTER THROUGH THREE
DIFFERENT- GRANT TYPES-
IMPLEMENTATION WHERE WE LARGELY
GROWN MAINTAIN. URBAN TREE
CANOPIES A LOT OF THE TYPE OF
PROJECTS YOU WERE REFERRING TO
SENATOR BACKER ALSO- WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT URBAN WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT- GETTING YOUNG MEN
AND WOMEN- EDUCATED IN URBAN
TREE TECHNIQUES. AND PROVIDING
MORE EXPERTISE IN THE WORK FORCE
THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN
THOSE TREE CANOPIES AND LASTLY I
WOULD SAY IT'S FOR MANAGEMENT
PLANS. LOCAL URBAN FOREST
MANAGEMENT PLANS WHICH ALLOW
THOSE. LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO NOT
ONLY INVENTORY HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF TREES ACROSS THESE
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES BUT
ALSO THOSE URBAN MANAGEMENT
PLANS HELP DRIVE LOCAL
ORDINANCES WHAT WHICH WILL
CONTINUE TO PROTECT THOSE TREES
IN THE FUTURE- WE WOULD
ANTICIPATE BEING ABLE TO FIND
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN. THIRTY AND
FORTY FIVE GRANTS WITH THIS
THREE MALE- THIS THIRTY MILLION
ON PLANTING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
THIRTY FIVE AND FORTY FIVE
THOUSAND TREES ACROSS THESE
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES AND
SO- ON. A VERY SIGNIFICANT
BENEFIT- IN THESE DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES AND MORE- EVIDENCE
OR ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. WE'LL
CAN I DO THINGS VALUABLE NOT A
LOT OF MONEY AND THAT MEANS A
VERY VIABLE PROGRAM- DISMAYED
SEE THE CAR- BUT- I THINK WE CAN
PROBABLY. GO HE MOVE ON MR JEFF
I COULD CLARIFY BIT SO. THERE'S
IN THE IN THE WILDFIRE FORCED
RESILIENCE INVESTMENTS
DISTRACTING ST HEAD ON IT BUT
THERE WAS THIRTY MILLION AND IN
URBAN FORESTRY IN TWENTY TWENTY
ONE TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO SO
THAT'S OF COURSE RETAINED.
THERE'S A THIRTY MILLION THAT'S
COMING OUT FOR TWENTY TWENTY
THREE- IN TWENTY THREE ONE FOUR
BUT THERE'S ALSO A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLAR SCHOOL GREENING
INVESTMENT THAT WAS INCLUDED IN
LAST YEAR'S BUDGET THAT IS
RETAINED IN THAT SCHOOLYARD
GREENING. IS SORT OF A SUBSET OF
THE URBAN FORESTRY PROGRAM SO
THAT HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
ALSO RETAINED IN THIS BUDGET SO
THERE IS FUNDING STILL IN AND
WOULD BE HAPPY TO SORT OF DO
SOME SORT OF. AGREEMENT WERE
TRACKING I DON'T SEE THE THIRTY
MILLION. THE MEASURE VERY FIRST
I JUST DON'T SEE IT SO WE'LL BE
SURE TO GET A BREAK OUT TO STAFF
WE OFFER YOU WHAT OKAY WHAT'S
BEEN PROVIDED WITH STOLEN. OKAY
GREAT. I'M I THINK. WITH THAT WE
SHOULD MOVE ON. THANK YOU ALL
FOR. AND THE REMOVAL TO IS
TWELVE WHICH IS KIND WE STILL.
THE NEW RIVER IMPORTANT. BUT
HERE.
GREAT RE REFER SENATE GO AHEAD.
AGAIN WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE THANK YOU. SO THE TWENTY
TWENTY ONE AND TWENTY TWO TWENTY
TWO BUDGET ACTS COMMITTED ONE
POINT NINE BILLION DOLLARS FOR
COMMUNITY RESILIENCE AND THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET MAINTAINS ONE
POINT SIX BILLION DOLLARS OR 85%
OF THIS FUNDING. AND AS WE
DISCUSSED THE ADMINISTRATION IS
A GENERAL FRAMEWORK I'M
SPECIFICALLY SOME OF THE
RELEVANT CONSIDERATIONS RELATED
TO THE COMMUNITY RESILIENCE
INVESTMENTS INCLUDE PROTECTING
THE MAJORITY OF FUNDING FOR MOST
PROGRAMS WHEN IS IT MINIMIZING
DISRUPTIONS FOR PROGRAMS ALREADY
UNDERWAY. PRIORITIZING EQUITY
AND INVESTMENTS IN PRIORITY
POPULATIONS THE POTENTIAL
AVAILABILITY TO SHIFT TO OTHER
FUNDS AND THE POTENTIAL
AVAILABILITY OF FEDERAL FUNDS.
SOME OF THE SPECIFIC REDUCTIONS
AND DELAYS IN THE COMMUNITY
RESILIENCE INVESTMENT AREA
INCLUDE THE COMMUNITY RESILIENCE
CENTERS PROGRAM A DELAY OF
EIGHTY FIVE MILLION FROM TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR TO TWENTY FOUR
TWENTY FIVE SO THIS PROGRAM
REMAINS FULLY FUNDED BUT THE
FUNDS WILL BE ALLOCATED A YEAR
LATER THAN INITIALLY. ALLOCATED
THE REGIONAL CLIMATE RESILIENCE
PROGRAM A REDUCTION OF TWENTY
FIVE MILLION IN TWENTY TWO
TWENTY THREE AND A HUNDRED
MILLION AND TWENTY THREE TWENTY
FOUR AND THIS MAINTAINS A
HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE MILLION OR
50% OF FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM
. THE TRANSFORMATIVE CLIMATE
COMMUNITIES PROGRAM A REDUCTION
OF SIXTY FIVE MILLION IN TWENTY
TWO TWENTY THREE AND FORTY
MILLION IN TWENTY THREE TWENTY
FOUR. THIS MAINTAINS THREE
HUNDRED FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS
OR 75% OF FUNDING FOR THIS
PROGRAM. AND FINALLY THE
COMMUNITY AIR PROTECTION PROGRAM
EIGHTY SIX SEVENTEEN. A
REDUCTION OF FIFTY MILLION IN
TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR. WHICH
INCLUDES A SHIFT OF TWO HUNDRED
FIFTY MILLION TO THE GREENHOUSE
GAS REDUCTION FUND. SO THIS
MAINTAINS FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY
MILLION OR 92% OF FUNDING FOR
THIS PROGRAM. AND AGAIN WE HAVE
REPRESENTATIVES WHICH PROGRAMS
THAT THAT'S THE COMMUNITY AIR
PROTECTION PROGRAM. EIGHTY SIX
SEVENTEEN. GREAT I'M GO AHEAD
THANK YOU AGAIN RACHEL EHLERS
WITH THE L. A. AT OUR COMMENTS
FOR THIS PACKAGE ARE LARGELY DID
KNOW. WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN FOR
THE OTHERS WHICH IS THAT WE
THINK THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSALS
ARE LARGELY REASONABLE BUT WE
THINK YOU COULD TAKE A DIFFERENT
APPROACH. EITHER WITH
SUBSTITUTION IS OR AB
POTENTIALLY ADDITIONAL
REDUCTIONS IF NEEDED BASED ON
THE BUDGET- SITUATION SO. THAT
THE PROPOSAL'S FOCUS ON ON
LARGER PROGRAMS PROGRAMS THAT
ARE JUST GETTING UP AND RUNNING
SCALING THEM DOWN TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF AVAILABLE FEDERAL
FUNDS IN THE- CASE OF THE
TRANSFORMATIVE CLIMATE
COMMUNITIES PROGRAM. SOME OF THE
ADDITIONAL OPTIONS THAT WE
IDENTIFY FOR YOU THAT ARE
HIGHLIGHTED HERE IN YOUR AGENDA
THAT WE THINK YOU COULD TAKE A
LOOK AT OUR FIRST THE METHANE
MONITORING SATELLITES PROGRAM
WHICH IS. NOT REALLY GOTTEN UP
AND RUNNING YET AND- IS WE HAVE
THOUGHT COULD POTENTIALLY
DUPLICATIVE OF SOME OTHER AREAS
THAT WAS FUNDED WITH GIGI R. F.
BUT AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN
THIS COMMITTEE WE THINK THAT
THERE'S A LOT OF ROOM FOR
FLEXIBILITY BETWEEN- GREENHOUSE
GAS REDUCTION FUND IN GENERAL
FUND FOR SOME OF THESE PROGRAMS
SO FEW FREED UP THAT FUNDING.
YOU COULD USE THAT FOR SOME OF
YOUR OTHER GENERAL FUND
PRIORITIES. I'M ALSO THE CLIMATE
RESILIENT CENTER PROGRAM AS AS
NOTED HIS PROPOSED FOR A DELAY
WE THINK YOU COULD CONSIDER
RATHER THAN DELAYING SOME OF
THAT FUNDING ACTUALLY MAKING IT
A REDUCTION. AND TREATING IT AS
A PILOT PROGRAM BECAUSE IT IS
BRAND NEW AND SEEING HOW IT
WORKS AND- HOW EFFECTIVE IT IS
AND WHAT KIND OF DEMAND THERE IS
FOR IT. BEFORE YOU MAKE
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS. ON THE
REGIONAL CLIMATE RESILIENT
CENTER EXCUSE ME THE REGIONAL
CLIMATE. RESILIENCE PLANNING
FUNDING THERE'S A LOT OF SIMILAR
NAMES FOR THESE PROGRAMS- THAT'S
WHEN WE ACTUALLY THINK YOU MIGHT
WANT TO. THINK ABOUT POTENTIALLY
RETAINING SOME ADDITIONAL
FUNDING AS COMPARED TO THE
GOVERNOR. BECAUSE THIS IS IN OUR
MIND ONE OF THE PROGRAMS WHERE
THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT NEW
KIND OF INVESTMENT FOR THE STATE
AS WE KNOW CLIMATE IMPACTS DO
NOT STOP AT THE CITY OR COUNTY
LINE THEY ARE MULTI
JURISDICTIONAL. AND PLANNING
ACROSS. NECESSARY SO PROVIDING
SOME OF THIS FUNDING TO HELP.
START THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAVE
SOME OF THESE REGIONAL BASS
PLANET PLANS WE THINK IS A
REALLY IMPORTANT ROLE FOR THE
STATE- AND THEN FINALLY. ONE OF
THE PROGRAMS. AS PART OF THIS
PACKAGE THE CLIMATE ACTION CORPS
PROGRAM FOR OPR. IS NOT PROPOSED
PRODUCTION IS ACTUALLY PROPOSED
TO BE DOUBLED- SO ADDITIONAL NEW
FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM- AND WE
THINK GIVEN THE CONTEXT OF ALL
THE OTHER DISCUSSIONS YOU'RE
HAVING IT'S NOT REALLY A TIME TO
BE EXPANDING PROGRAMS ESPECIALLY
PROGRAMS THAT ARE STILL NEW IN
IN A PILOT- STAGE SO WE
RECOMMEND. THAT PROPOSED
EXPANSION FROM THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL. THAT HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS THANK YOU. THANK
YOU M. THE TRANSPORT OF CLIMATE
COMMUNITIES PROGRAM IS VERY
IMPORTANT WHEN I WAS. FROM THE
BEGINNING OF THAT I WONDER IF
SHE GROWTH COUNCIL COULD. TALK A
LITTLE ABOUT- THE PROGRAM AND- I
KNOW IT'S- REFER THIS TO COME
OUT ON NOW FOR THE FEDERAL- 20%
I RACES WE SPENT WITH THE
PURCHASE FINISH COMMUNITIES-
MAYBE COULD TELL US HOW THE- HOW
THE PROGRAM'S GOING GIVE SOME
EXAMPLES OF THINGS BEEN FUNDED.
I THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION-
MY NAME IS AHMAD ASSISTANT SAID
ON THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR
COMMUNITY INVESTMENTS AND
PLANNING AT STC- THE
TRANSFORMATIVE CLIMATE
COMMUNITIES IS A BRILLIANT
PROGRAM- AS YOU MENTIONED TO
THAT FEDERAL PROGRAMS ARE
MODELING. AFTER WHAT CALIFORNIA
HAS HAS BEEN DOING. OVER THE
LAST COUPLE OF YEARS- WITH TCC
TCC IS IN- ROUND FIVE RIGHT NOW
WE- JUST APPROVED THE
GUIDELINES- EARLIER THIS SPRING
AND WE'RE GOING OUT- FOR AWARD
TO LATER ON THIS SUMMER- WHAT IS
REALLY INTERESTING ABOUT TO THE
SPACE IN THIS CONNECTION WITH
THE REDUCTION IS AN OPPORTUNITY.
TO THINK ABOUT THE FEDERAL FUNDS
DIFFERENTLY AND HOW CAN WE GET
OUR ENTITIES WITHIN CALIFORNIA
WELL SUITED FOR THOSE DOLLARS SO
THE FUTURE GROWTH COUNCIL- A WIN
OUT WITH AN R. F. P. FOR
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE- THAT WOULD
REALLY HELP OUR GRANTEES. AND
OTHER PROGRAM- SUPPORT WITH IN
CALIFORNIA TO GO AFTER THOSE
THREE BILLION DOLLARS- WE
UNDERSTAND THAT THAT PROGRAM AT
THE FEDERAL LEVEL IS BEING
MODELED AFTER TCC. WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY THIS WEEK TO SUBMIT
PUBLIC COMMENT- FOR THEIR
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ON HOW
TO FULLY DEVELOP THAT PROGRAM-
WHAT ARE BEST PRACTICES WITHIN
THE STATE- PROVIDING A LOT OF
OPPORTUNITY THAT- PR AND TCC
HAVE SET UP ALREADY- AND I
THINK- WERE ANTICIPATING WITH
THAT MODEL THAT. A 12215% COULD
COME TO CALIFORNIA- ONCE WE HAVE
THE NOVA LATER ON THIS SUMMER
FROM THE FEDERAL PROGRAM- TCC
HAS BEEN REALLY SUCCESSFUL ITS
OVER SUBSCRIBED- BUT WE HAVE-
LOOKED AT OPPORTUNITY TO FULLY
EXPAND THE PROGRAM. THAT IS
REALLY CONDUCIVE TO COMMUNITY
NEED- PART OF THAT THIS YEAR IS
THROUGH PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
GRANTS- WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT
EXPANDING- OR I'M SORRY
MAINTAINING OUR PLANNING GRANTS
FOR MULTIPLE YEARS. AND THEN
IMPLEMENTATION GRANTS OF THE WAY
THE PLANNING GRANTS HAVE WORK IS
REALLY SUPPORTING THAT CAPACITY
BUILDING A TO GET ENTITIES READY
FOR. THAT IMPLEMENTATION SPACE.
GOT IT I'M- EXCEPT HELPFUL ON
THE ABC ONE SO PRO OCULAR BIT
THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. THERE'S A
SHIFT FROM GINGER AFTER MAKE UP
SOME OF THAT PROGRAM WHAT IS
THAT PROGRAM. PERMANENTLY GOING
TOWARDS. GET. THANK YOU YEAH.
RIGHT HI I. ED THANK YOU YEAH MY
NAME IS BRIAN MOORE AND I'M WITH
THE- AND HE OFFERED ME A
PROTECTION WHICH IMPLEMENTS
EIGHTY SIX SEVENTEEN AT THE
STATE LEVEL. ON THAT FUNDING IS
SPLIT INTO THREE THREE POTS WE
HAVE A LARGE CHUNK OF IT GOES TO
INCENTIVE PROGRAMS THAT ARE
MISTER TO THAT AIR DISTRICTS.
FOR PROGRAMS IN DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES ANOTHER POT- GOES TO
IMPLEMENTATION SO FUNDS FOR
THEIR DISTRICTS DENNIS FOR THE
PROGRAM AND THERE'S A THIRD POT
THAT GOES DIRECTLY TO
COMMUNITIES THROUGH COMMITTEE
AIRCRAFTS. SO THAT KIND. OF
ROLLED UP INTO THE TOTAL FUNDING
FOR THE PROGRAM. IT IS THE
FUNDING THE YOU KNOW IF- DO THE
PLANTER FROM EUROPE IS THAT. AT
THE FUND LEVEL FUNDING THAT
THAT- YOUR ANTICIPATING. IS
NEEDED. AYE THAT'S HARD TO
PREDICT BECAUSE ALL THE COMMUTER
DIFFERENCE IS A VERY LOCALLY
FOCUSED PROGRAM YOU KNOW
HISTORICALLY WORK AT AIR QUALITY
REGIONAL LEVEL SO WE ARE IN THE
FIFTH YEAR THEY'LL- AND THERE
HAVE BEEN CONCERNS ABOUT- FROM
EVERY SIX ABOUT. THAT FUNDING
LEVELS YOU KNOW ESPECIALLY SINCE
WE COMMITTEE NOW. UP TO TEN
YEARS WEEK INTER COMMUNITY YOU
KNOW WHAT ANNUAL FUNDING MAKES A
LITTLE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT. I'M
ALSO I COULD BE THAT CORRECT
THIS IS IF THIS IS WRONG I
BELIEVE THAT WITH THE CUTS- THE
TEN MILLION DOLLARS THAT IS PUT
TOWARDS COMMITTEE AIR FRANCE. IS
PART AT FIFTY NINE THAT'S BEING
REDUCED SO I'M NOT SURE IF WE
WOULD BE ABLE TO RUN THE
COMMUTER AIRCRAFT PROGRAM. IN
THE FOLLOWING YEAR BECAUSE I
BELIEVE THOSE POTS OF PRETTY
WALLED OFF FROM EACH OTHER- AS
FAR AS I KNOW OKAY. WE'LL LOOK
INTO THAT M. INTEREST SOMEONE
RECORDS ONE LAST QUESTION FOR
OPR- AROUND THE REGIONAL CLIMATE
RESILIENCE PROGRAM CAN YOU JUST
TELL US. LITTLE ABOUT THE
REGIONAL CLIMATE RESILIENCE
PROGRAM AND THE STATUS OF IT.
YEAH THIS IS REALLY. ABOUT THAT
IT'S GOT MORE IN AGAIN WHAT ELSE
PLANNING RESEARCH. REALLY
LOOKING AT AT REGIONAL EFFORTS
HOW DO WE WORK WITH MULTIPLE
ENTITIES WITHIN A REGION. TO
DEVELOP REGIONAL PLANS- WE'VE
BEEN DOING RESEARCH ON THIS
SINCE TWO THOUSAND AND TWO- WE
HAVE ABOUT EIGHT HUNDRED PEOPLE
THAT HAVE BEEN INVOLVED FROM
FIVE HUNDRED FORTY. SOME ODD
DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS- SINCE
THAT PERIOD. WE DID RELEASE-
DRAFT GUIDELINES IN JANUARY OF
THIS YEAR AND HELD SEVEN
REGIONAL AND COMMUNITY SPECIFIC
WORKSHOPS ON THOSE GUIDELINES.
AND WE'RE LOOKING TO FINALIZE
THOSE AND PUT THOSE OUT IN MAY
SO NEXT MONTH- WITH-
APPLICATIONS LATER THIS SUMMER.
TO THEN DO AWARDS THIS FALL SO
WE'RE READY TO GET THE MONEY OUT
THE DOOR ON THAT- PRIMARILY
LOOKING AT PROJECTS AGAIN AS AS-
THE ALARIO MENTION ON REGIONAL
SCALE THE- VULNERABILITY
ASSESSMENTS. OF FORMATION OF
REGIONAL CLIMATE PARTNERSHIPS. A
PLAN ALIGNMENT WITHIN REGIONS
FOR ONE OR MORE HAZARDS-
REGIONAL COMMUNITY EDUCATION
INITIATIVES. IMPLEMENT PROJECTS
DETAILED IN PREVIOUS PLANNING
DOCUMENTS OF THERE'S EFFORTS
THAT THAT AT REGIONS OF DONE
ALREADY. HOW DO WE SUPPORT THOSE
AND GET THOSE PROJECTS ROLLING-
AND THEN IMPLEMENT HOW TO HAZARD
SPECIFIC PROJECTS. OR LINE MIGHT
MULTI HAZARD PROJECTS SO IT'S A
REALLY BUILDING ON EFFORTS THAT
HAVE ALREADY HAPPENED. AT REGION
LEFT AT REGIONALLY- AREAS OF BUT
MAKING SURE THAT IT'S A COME
EFFORT AMONG MULTIPLE PARTNERS
SO CITIES AND COUNTIES WORKING
WITH TRIBES CITIES WORK IN THOSE
COUNTIES. SPECIAL DISTRICTS
WORKING WITH TRIBES SO REALLY
COMBINED EFFORT AT EVERY AT THE
REGIONAL SCALE. AND ALSO LOOKING
AT IT FROM- ALLOWING THEM TO
DEFINE WHAT THEY'RE THEIR OWN
REGION IS TO A CERTAIN EXTENT WE
ARE LOOKING AT ONE. GRANT PER
THE NINE REGIONS THAT WERE IT
WAS AT THE END OF IT IDENTIFIED
IN THE STATE ADAPTATION PLAN-
BUT AGAIN ALLOWING THAT KIND
SELF IDENTIFICATION OKAY THAT'S
COMMISSION ERA. SO WITH THE
DATES THEY CAN SELF THERE'S A
PART OF IT IS AROUND. REGIONS
AND- CORRECT YOU HAVE THE
DEVELOPMENT WILL- THE PARTNERS
WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT OTHER DAYS IT
YOU KNOW CITY AND COUNTY CITY A
SPECIAL DISTRICT DISSIDIA TRIBE-
YOU KNOW WHAT OF THOSE MULTIPLE
ENTITIES THAT ARE GOING TO GET
TOGETHER AND THEN WHAT IS THE
REGION THAT THEY'RE THAT THEY'RE
LOOKING TO IDENTIFY AND WORKING
WITH THEM. GREAT INTO
APPLICATIONS ARE DUE IN A
CERTAIN. YES WOULD YOU AGAIN THE
GUIDELINES FINAL GUIDELINES WILL
BE OUT MAY AND THEN APPLICATION
TO SUMMER WITH AWARDS THIS FALL.
MMHM OKAY. DURING COLLEAGUES
ANYTHING. THE ONLY. WHAT THAT.
IT'S COOPER KNOWS WHO REY- THE
NUMBER OF ISSUE WILL LOVE JEFF.
UP WITH WILL YOU HAVE THIS. TO
DO TO. ON THE ON THE FED- THE
WICHITA AND AGAIN WE WERE ON. TO
THE WEATHER THE FEDERAL. GOING
IN THIS. SO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT JUST CLOSED ARE- THE
ANNOUNCE CONTINUOUSLY THAT FUNDS
SHOULD BE AVAILABLE OR THE NO
FOR SHOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE
SUMMER- FROM WHAT WE UNDERSTAND
THERE ARE. HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS
OF COMMENTS ON THE PROGRAM
ITSELF. THEY JUST RELEASED THIS
MORNING- TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
FOR THIS SET UP OF THE BLOCK
GRANTS- AND SO I THINK- THEY'RE
GOING TO BE PROCESSING A LOT OF
WHAT WE HAVE PUT FORTH- THROUGH
THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS AND THEN
WE SHOULD HEAR MORE INFORMATION
ON THAT. GOOD WHAT WAS YOUR
PROUD UP FOR WE PIONEERED HERE
AND IT WAS PART OF THE COVENTRY
DISCUSSIONS AND THANKS FOR WORK
ON THIS AND WILL FOUR TWO TWO
FOLLOWING UP. TO OUR
RECOMMENDATION IS A HOLD OPEN ON
THIS. ITEM AND- THANK YOU ALL
FOR YOUR TIME WILL MOVE ON TO-
OUR LAST ITEM. WHICH BASICALLY
OUR OUR CATCH ALL BUG OTHER NON
PACKAGE PROGRAM PROPOSED FOR
SOLUTIONS- A NUMBER. THIRTEEN WE
OFFER DIFFERENT. GROWTH FOR THIS
. YES THANK YOU. MY NAME IS
DANIEL RESTAURANTS WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AS
MENTIONED TO THE TWENTY TWENTY
ONE AND TWENTY TWENTY TWO BUDGET
ACTS INCLUDED A NUMBER OF OTHER
INVESTMENTS OUTSIDE OF PACKAGES.
IN THE CLIMATE SPACE AND AS PART
OF THE ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSAL
TO ADDRESS THAT THE GENERAL FUND
DEFICIT THERE WERE A FEW
INVESTMENTS IMPACTED BY PROPOSED
SOLUTIONS. AS AS BEEN DISCUSSED
BEFORE AND IN THE INTEREST OF
TIME I WON'T GO THROUGH THE
ENTIRE LIST OF WHAT WENT INTO A
CONSIDERING ALL OF THESE
DIFFERENT PIECES IN THE GENERAL
FRAMEWORK BUT I DO WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT. AS IT RELATES TO THE
SPECIFIC NON PACKAGE INVESTMENTS
THAT SOME OF THE CONTENT CHILL
CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDED
PRIORITIZING EQUITY AND
INVESTMENTS IN PRIORITY
POPULATIONS. MINIMIZING
DISRUPTIONS FOR PROGRAMS UNDER
WAY INCLUDING CONSIDERATION FOR
STATUS OF PREVIOUSLY
APPROPRIATED PROGRAMS AND WHERE
THEY WERE IN THEIR WORD PROCESS
SEES. AND AVAILABILITY OF
PROGRAM FUNDING BY FISCAL YEAR
GIVEN THE MULTI YEAR NATURE OF
THE BUDGET PROBLEMS- IN THE NEED
TO ADDRESS THE BUDGET GAP WITHIN
THE BUDGET WINDOW. A LISTING OF
THE REDUCTIONS AND DELAYS-
WITHIN THIS INCLUDE COMPLETE
FINE SCALE VEGETATION MAPPING
FOR CALIFORNIA THE DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE. A REDUCTION
OF TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS
GENERAL FUND IN TWENTY TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR THIS MAINTAINS
TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS OR
FORTY PERCENT. TO SUPPORT FINE

CORE PROGRAM FUNDING. AND
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE AT CAL FIRE
REDUCTION OF THIRTEEN MILLION
DOLLARS IN PROJECTS THIS
MAINTAINS THIRTY SEVEN MILLION
DOLLARS. WORTH 70% FOR PROJECTS
IN THIS SPACE. WE'RE AVAILABLE
TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT HAVE
REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE
DEPARTMENTS YEARS. YOUR THANK
YOU LIST GIVE- A CHANCE TO WIN
HERE THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR. ALL
THREE OF THESE PROGRAMS
REPRESENT IMPORTANT PRIORITIES
FOR THE STATE AND THE
LEGISLATURE BUT THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSALS- WOULD NOT ELIMINATE
ANY FUNDING FOR ALL THESE
THEY'RE ALL JUST KIND OF REDUCED
IN SCALE DOWN. ON THE CHART ON
PAGE FORTY A OF YOUR- AGENDA IT
IT APPEARS THAT THE DEPARTMENT
OF CONSERVATION FUNDING WOULD BE
ELIMINATED BUT AS YOU CAN READ
IN THE BULLETS THEY THAT PROGRAM
DOES GET- CONTINUOUSLY
APPROPRIATED G. F. D. G. R. F.
FUNDING SO THERE WOULD BE.
CONTINUING SUPPORT SO GIVEN THAT
IN THE BUDGET PROBLEM THAT
YOU'RE FACING WE THINK SCALING
DOWN SOME OF THESE EFFORTS A- IS
REASONABLE FOR YOU TO CONSIDER
THANK YOU. THANK YOU ASSURE YOUR
CONCERN I HEAR ABOUT THE
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE HOW FAR SO
YOU CAN PUT THAT IN THE SCOPE
FOR US OF. OF OVERALL CAL FIRE
EFFORTS IS THIS A SEPARATE
PROGRAMMERS THIS. KIND OF CORE.
MEANS THAT THE NEWS. TALK ABOUT
A HUNDRED SIXTY MILLION DOLLAR
BACKLOG. HI MIKE DUGGAN-
ASSISTANT DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR
TECHNICAL SERVICES BASICALLY
FACILITIES FOR CALIFORNIA- JUST
KIND OF A SUMMARY OF WHAT THIS
IS A HUNDRED TWENTY TWO PROJECTS
STATEWIDE- IT IS PART OF.
SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO OUR SPECIAL
PAIRS BUDGET AS FAR AS HOW WE
TACKLE IT- WE TACKLE WITH THE
ASSISTANCE OF THE DEPARTMENT
JOURNAL SERVICES- IN HOUSE AND-
THROUGH CONTRACTS. SO THE
HUNDRED TWENTY TWO PROJECTS
THAT- COMPRISED OF THE THIRTEEN
MILLION. ARM BASICALLY FOUR
MAJOR CATEGORIES- THERE'S-
HEADQUARTERS PROJECTS THAT IN
RIVERSIDE COUNTY AND IN
SACRAMENTO. THERE'S A TOTAL OF
FOUR- THERE IS- FIFTEEN STATE
DEMONSTRATION STATE FOREST
PROJECTS- THIRTY FOUR STREET
LOOKOUT. ROD DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE PROJECTS AND THEN
SEVENTY THREE- LIGHTING RETROFIT
PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE
DEPARTMENT. CURRENT BEFORE YOU
LOOK OUT CERTAINLY SEEMS
IMPORTANT YEAH. THE E. ON- BUT
THE TRUTH SO IT'S A MESS MIX OF
THAN JUST. CORE FACILITY AND-
THE PROJECT WAS LAST MEN AFTER
THE- AS FAR AS THE LED
RETROFITS- THOSE ARE THROUGH
FIRE STATIONS AND- BASICALLY ARE
PHILIP FACILITIES MOSTLY THROUGH
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. MELISSA
THROUGH A PROGRAM WITH A PEACHY
OKAY GREAT- I MEAN JUST VIRTUE
BECAUSE RESIDENCIA IS THAT YOU.
THAT THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT IF I
MEAN THAT- WHICH IS A STAND OF
YOUR ABILITY TO. EXECUTE THESE
YEAH- THESE I THINK WE'RE
IDENTIFIED BECAUSE THEY WERE ON
AND- UNENCUMBERED- CURRENTLY IN
CONTRACTS OR IN OTHER MEANS- TO
CONTINUE ON- A LOT OF THESE ARE
IN PLAN. DEVELOPMENT- BUT- AS AS
MENTIONED BY THE L. A. L. YOU
KNOW THESE. IDENTIFIED PRY THAT
HAD YET BEGUN AND HENCE WERE
AVAILABLE FOR REDUCTION. SERDANG
ARE JUST ONE WAY AND I THINK
THIS IS AN AREA THAT. THE CENTER
MCGUIRE AND I'VE SAT ON THIS
COMMITTEE FOR SOME TIME NOW AND
WHERE OUR FOCUS HAS BEEN TO TRY
TO IMPLEMENT THE LOOKOUTS IN
THE- IT'S BASICALLY THE ABILITY
BILL TO. SEAFIRE BEFORE WE GET
THESE CATASTROPHIC EVENTS AND
YOU THIRTEEN MILLION OR
WHATEVER'S SB THAT'S A FEW DAYS
OF FIGHTING FIRE. IF WE CAN IF
WE CAN STOP THESE FIRES I MEAN
IT IS PRUDENT TO ME TO THINK
THAT WE WOULD SPEND THE MONEY.
TO GET THE APP TO GET THESE
PROJECTS DONE BECAUSE ON THE
FLIP SIDE OF IT IF YOU HAVE A
MEGA FIRE I MEAN IT'S BILLION
IT'S- BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO
FIGHT THESE FIRES. AND SO-
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE I THINK
IS SOMETIMES A LOT BETTER THAN.
NO DIVERGENCES. WHERE WE GO SO
CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
I MEAN I THINK IT'S SOMETHING WE
SHOULD TALK ABOUT HERE IS NOT
THAT BIG OF A- TRY I MEAN IT'S A
LOT OF MONEY. FOR THE BANG FOR
THE BUCK THAT WE GET I GUESS
THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY
HERE. AYE THAT'S TRUE- I WOULD
AGREE- AS FAR AS LOOKING AT-
TRYING TO MEET YOUR GOALS OF-
REDUCTIONS WHEREVER YOU CAN THIS
THIS ISN'T. A PATHWAY TO THAT
AND IF THIS WASN'T THERE WE HAVE
TO FIND A WAY TO ADDRESS THESE-
SOME OF THEM ARE ARE HIGHER
PRIORITIES THAN OTHERS THE LED
RETROFITS- OPERATIONALLY ARE
GOING TO. WIPE OUT THE
DEPARTMENT AT ALL- BUT AS FAR AS
ON THE ON THE LOOKOUTS WHICH THE
MAJORITY OF THEM MORE BUILT IN-
I'D SAY THE NINETEEN FORTIES TO
THE NINETEEN SIXTIES. AND THERE
ARE SMALL PROJECTS AND THAT'S
WHY THERE'S THIRTY OF THEM- YEAH
WE NEED TO ADDRESS THE- HIGHER
PRIORITY UNIT HEADQUARTERS
PROJECTS ONCE THE- PARIS CCC
INTERNAL LARGEST EMERGENCY
COMMAND CENTER. AND IT'S A ROOF
REPAIR SO WE WOULD HAVE TO. MAKE
IT A- PRIORITY FOR US TO TACKLE
WITH OUR WITHIN OUR OWN
AUTHORITY OR OWN BUDGET FOR NEXT
YEAR WHENEVER THAT. COMES SO-
YEAH THERE ARE SOME- HIGH
PRIORITY ONES THAT WE ARE GONNA
HAVE TO WORK INTO THE PLAN ONE
WAY OR ANOTHER- YOU KNOW IT BE
WONDERFUL IF WE COULD- YET
RETAIN THE THIRTEEN MILLION
DOLLARS BUT- YOU KNOW KALRA.
WERE PARTNER IN THE STATE AND
WE'LL DO WHAT WE NEEDED TO. IT'S
A SMALL AMOUNT OF THIS ONE. YEAH
LET TO KNOW FOR THE PREVENTIVE.
THE STUFF THAT WE NEED TO DO IS
TO ME IT'S LIKE CHANGING THE OIL
IN YOUR ENGINE BEFORE BLOWS UP.
WELL I WOULD LOVE TO- TO PROCEED
ON THIS BUT- I AYE AYES THAT WE
HAVE ON ON THE VEGETATION I WANT
I KNOW I SEE THE- MISTER BONHAM
HERE AS ON THE VEGETATION
MAPPING IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE
AREAS THAT I WANTED. AND I KNOW
THAT'S NOT HOW FIRE BUT ON MY
LOOK LIKE THAT TO VISITORS OF
YOU OR INTO THE PHASE OF THAT AS
WELL- AND- YOU KNOW IT'S- IT'S
BUDGET DUST. DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
THE I HAD A QUESTION THAT YOU
WOULD SEE IMPACT IS ALMOST- HALF
OF THE FUNDING REDUCED. SO THEY
JUST MAYBE COULD GO TOE HOW DOES
FIND COVERAGE IS MAPPING BENEFIT
THE STATE AND HOW ITS PRODUCTION
GONNA. HOW WOULD THIS REDUCTION
AFFECT. OUR ABILITY TO. MAKE
SAGRES CHAIR GOOD MORNING
SENATORS CHUCK BONHAM ON THE
DIRECTOR OF THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE
. VEGETATION MAPPING BENEFITS
THE STATE IN MULTIPLE WAYS. OUR
DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN ON A LONG
JOURNEY TO MAP THE ENTIRE STATE.
IT'S NOT A QUIXOTIC JOURNEY TO
PRACTICAL JOURNEY. WITH REAL
RESULTS. SO WHAT WE DO IS SEND
SCIENTIST OUT. THEY CONDUCT
VEGETATION SAMPLING AND
CLASSIFICATION. THEY COME BACK
AND THEN DEVELOP A MAP OF THE
VEGETATION. AND THEN THEY DO AN
ACCURACY ASSESSMENT OF THOSE
MAPS. WHY VEGETATION IS ACTUALLY
THE SINGLE BEST REPRESENTATION
OF HABITAT. AND ECOSYSTEMS. SO
THE MAPS BECOME THE PRIMARY TOOL
FOR ALL KINDS OF PLANNING.
INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT BUT
ALSO THINGS LIKE THIRTY BY
THIRTY. THEY ON ARE THE
UNDERLYING DATA FOR A LOT OF THE
PERMITTING THAT OCCURS AROUND
CERTAIN SECTORS. THERE CENTRAL.
HERE'S THE GREATNESS WE HAVE
TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN
HAND THAT'S UNHEARD OF FOR US.
IN THIS SPACE. AND WITH THAT
AMOUNT OF ENERGY EFFORTS SUPPORT
BY YOU. WE ARE GOING TO GET TO
ABOUT 67% OF THE STATE MAPPED.
THAT'S A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT.
THAT'LL LEAVE US ABOUT 33% LEFT
AMOUNT. AT ABOUT 9% LEFT A
SAMPLE SAMPLE HAPPENS FIRST. SO
WE'RE WELL DOWN THE PATH ON
HAVING SAMPLED ALL OF THE STATE
. AND WE'RE WE'RE CATCHING UP IS
TRANSLATING THE SAMPLE DATA INTO
MAPS SEE YOUR CURRENT INVESTMENT
TWENTY FIVE MILLION. ISRAEL IS
PRODUCING SIGNIFICANT RESULTS
I'M COGNIZANT OF YOUR STAFF
RECOMMENDATION ANALYSIS ON PAGE
FORTY ONE I AGREE WE'RE MAKING
SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS. IN GIVING
EVERYTHING ELSE YOU'RE
CONSIDERING YOU KNOW IT'S A IT'S
A PRUDENT GENERAL FUND SOLUTION
FOR YOU TO DELIBERATE ON. BUT
OTHER SOURCES FUNDING OF THESE
PROJECTS WHICH- THE SENATOR
PERHAPS I THINK MY ANSWER WOULD
REFERENCE BACK TO THE LAST TIME
WAS IN FRONT OF YOU AND WE
TALKED ABOUT SERVICE BASED
BUDGETING FOR THE DEPARTMENT AND
AN ONGOING YEAR OVER YEAR
CHALLENGE FOR US. TO FIND THINGS
THAT DON'T HAVE A SUSTAINABLE
FUNDS SOURCE THAT'S WHY I THINK
WE CURRENTLY HAVE TWENTY FIVE
MILLION IN HAND. FROM GENERAL
FUND FOR THIS PURPOSE. SO I OFF
THE TOP OF MY HEAD DON'T SEE A
READILY. AVAILABLE FUN SOURCE
INTERNALLY BUT I'D LIKE TO THINK
ABOUT THE QUESTION. GIVEN HOW. I
WELL I JUST THINK THAT I HATE TO
GET CLOSE TO WERE OUR GOAL IS
AND NOT YOU KNOW FINISH OUT WITH
IN IN THE IN THE SCOPE OF THE
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT. ALL
AROUND HERE THESE ARE REALLY MY
MINOR IN MY MIND. CHARLIE ECHO
THAT IT'S A CORD AFTER WE THINK
YOU- AND- FOR YOUR YOUR
PREVIOUS- TESTIMONIES WELL AND-
WILL LOOK FOR TO FOLLOWING UP ON
THE STATE. OF WITH THAT WOULD
YOU HAVE A WHOLE OPEN
RECOMMENDATION ON THIS ONE AS
WELL. AND- THE SO WE WILL ACCEPT
THE RECOMMENDATION AND MOVE ON
THAT WAS OUR LAST. ISSUE SO WHAT
WE'LL DO NOW IS WILL HAVE PUBLIC
COMMENTS. INITIATIVE TIME AND
SOME OF THE CENTER SCHEDULES
WILL ASK YOU TO LIMIT THAT TO-
ONE TO TWO MINUTES. OUR FIRST
HERE IN THE ROOM I DO HAVE SOME
OF MY CITIES WHO ARE UP FOR CITY
. AND I INVITED THEM HERE TODAY
IN THIS OF THE CHANCE IF YOU
WANTED TO WAY WE TO DISCUSS
COSTA RESILIENCE. EARLIER AND
THE CUTS FOR EXAMPLE. TO SEC OF
US GIVING LOTS OF MONEY THAT
COULD BE USED FOR THAT KIND OF
COSTA RESILIENCE PLANNING SO YOU
CAN FEEL FREE TO LINE UP AND
WEIGH IN ON IMPORTANT SAY FOR
YOUR CITY- AND- WELL MY AGE GO
AHEAD. YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF IN
AN- THANK YOU- ARE WE GOING
TOGETHER. SO MY NAME IS TIGER
JUST ROLLS BIG STICK AND THE
MAYOR OF PACIFICA. SU VOTER LAWS
I AM THE MAYOR PRO TEM OF
PACIFICA. SO IN AN AGE I WAS
GIVEN THIS SNAPSHOT OF REDUCING
A HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR MILLION
DEDICATED TO ADAPTING
INFRASTRUCTURE DOWN TO THIRTY
EIGHT. AND I'LL TELL YOU WE'RE
LOOKING AT- RECREATING OUR SEA
WALL TO THE TUNE OF A HUNDRED
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS TO GIVE
YOU SOME IDEA. WE'RE LOOKING AT-
PROJECTS ALONG AS PLAN- TO UPSET
A RHODESIAN- I CAN TELL YOU THE
PRICE TAG OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD
WE HAVE APPEAR THAT NEEDS TO. BE
REFURBISHED. EVEN IF WE WERE TO-
AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT YOU KNOW
UPWARDS OF TWENTY YEARS OF-
PLANNING. AND- BUDGET DESIGN. AS
WE'RE GOING TO. CONSIDER OUR
PHASE ADAPTATION APPROACH. AND
IF WE WERE TO MORROW TO SAY MOVE
OUR SEWER LINES THAT WOULD BE
FORTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS WE
NEED TO SPEND TOMORROW. SO
THAT'S FOR OUR COMMUNITY WHERE
WE HAVE SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT
RIGHT ALONG THE COASTLINE.
PACIFICA CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE.
AND I APPRECIATE THERE'S BUT
SERIOUS BUDGET NEEDS IN THIS
STATE WHEN I LOOK AT THESE
NUMBERS AND JUST THINKING ABOUT
PACIFICA'S NEEDS A LOAN. HERE'S
SOME OF THE NUMBERS I'VE THROWN
OUT TO YOU- HERE TO WHAT. IS ON
THE PAPER SO- IT'S NOT JUST THE
COASTAL EROSION AND THE BEACH
ISSUES BECAUSE IF WE LOSE THOSE
WE LOSE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE THEN
WE HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THERE WERE GOING TO LOSE AND IT
CONTINUES TO GROW AND GROW AND
GROW SO WE NEED THESE FUNDS AS
SOON AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. SO THAT
WE CAN CONTINUE OUR WORK THERE
AND NOT HAVE TO GO INTO THE LOSS
OF INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE LOSS OF
MAJOR HOUSING. IN ALL OF OUR
CITIES THE COAST IS REALLY
IMPORTANT IN THE ENTIRE STATE.
AND TO REMOVE OUR FUNDING-
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE
INCOMES THAT MOST PEOPLE DO. WE
REALLY NEED THE FUNDING BACK SO
I'D APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU
