CONSERVANCY UNDER THE NATURAL

CONSERVANCIES IN THE STATE
SYSTEM THE TO ESTABLISH MOST
RECENTLY WITH THE SIERRA NEVADA
CONSERVANCY IN TWO THOUSAND FOUR
AND THE DELTA CONSERVANCY IN TWO
THOUSAND NINE- THEY FOCUS STATE
EFFORTS ON INVESTMENT IN A
PARTICULAR AREA AND THAT'S
EXACTLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH
THE SALTON SEA. THE SALTON SEA
WAS ONCE A MAJOR RESORT
DESTINATION IT'S BECOME AN
ECOLOGICAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH
CRISIS DUE TO EVAPORATION AND
AGRICULTURAL RUN OFF- THE
EVAPORATING C. EXPOSES A TOXIC
LAKE BED WHICH NEGATIVELY
IMPACTS A LOCAL HEALTH MANY
RESIDENTS IN THE AREA SUFFER
FROM HEADACHES NOSE BLEEDS IN
ASTHMA. HOSPITALIZATION RATES
FOR CHILDREN WITH US MORE DOUBLE
THE STATE AVERAGE AND YET AT THE
SAME TIME THE SALTON SEA IS A
VITAL PART OF THE ECONOMY. IN
THE ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED AREA
OF IMPERIAL COUNTY CONSERVANCY'S
AS SENATOR DOLLY NO SAYS. A LONG
TIME BOARD MEMBER AN ORIGINAL
ADVOCATE FOR THIS YEAR
CONSERVANCY TO BOTH ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AND IF THERE'S A
TEXTBOOK CASE FOR THE NEED FOR
BOTH. OF THEM IT IS THE SALTON
SEA. OUR CONCERN COULD HELP
EXPEDITE THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW
HABITAT HABITAT AND DUST
SUPPRESSION WILL PLAY A VITAL
ROLE IN PROTECTING AND RESTORING
IT THE SOLVENCY AND BY UNITING
ALL OF THE CONSERVATION PROJECTS
UNDER ONE ENTITY IT'S DREAM
SLIDE STREAMLINED SUFFERED SAID
BRINGS ABOUT NASA. NECESSARY
CHANGE. TODAY HERE TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT IS OF FRANK RUIZ WITH
AUDUBON CALIFORNIA AND ON BEHALF
OF SENATOR PER DIEM I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASKS FOR MY PHONE.
THANK YOU. THAT YOU HAVE- FOUR
MINUTES. THANK YOU ALL MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE GOOD AFTERNOON
MY NAME IS FRANK GREECE. I AM
THE SALTON SEA PROGRAM DIRECTOR
FOR AUDUBON CALIFORNIA AND I AM
A MEMBER OF YOU KNOW THE
COMMUNITIES THAT WERE MENTIONED
TOM. AND THE SONG SEES A PLACE
FOR MOM IF THEY ENTER
INTERSECTIONS OF- ENVIRONMENTAL
CRISIS PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS
ECONOMIC CRISIS- WHEN I JOIN
AUDUBON IN- TWENTY SEVENTEEN-
YOU HELP TO PUT A DOCUMENTARY
TOGETHER. AND WE INTERVIEW OUR
FAMILY OF FIVE. IT'S VERY COMMON
TO HEAR COMMUNITIES- AND- LOCAL
FAMILIES COMPLAINED OF NOSE
BLEEDS RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS IN
THE FAMILY THAT I AM- I WANT TO
MENTION. OR SHARE THIS STORY.
ALL FIVE OF THEM THAT THEY ALSO
OFFER FOR A FROM ME THEIR COPD
HAAS MAZA RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS.
MOM THAT THE TICKETS OF THE TIME
TWELVE NINE AND SIX THEY GO TO
SCHOOL CARRYING AN INHALER IN A
BRONCHODILATOR. THEY ALREADY
KNOW HOW TO INJECT THEMSELVES IN
CASE THEY HAVE AMASSED MY TALK.
AND- THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE
PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE THE SONGS
HE- THE ALL THE PROBLEMS WE SEE
THEM OR MENTAL- CRISIS. WE LOST
MORE THAN ONE THIRD OF THAT IS
THAT AND THEN- AB AND CALL NEEDS
YOU KNOW THEY USED TO COME DOWN
TO THE SALTY. FROM THE FOUR
HUNDRED DIFFERENT SPECIES WE
LOST MORE THAN ONE THIRD. IT IS
YOU KNOW THE CELSIUS OF THE
BRINK OF A MAJOR ECOLOGICAL
COLLAPSE. SO I WANT TO
UNDERSCORE A FEW REASONS WHY WE
SUPPORT- THEY SOLD THE
CONSERVANCY NUMBER ONE HE WILL
ALLOWED. THEY ARE THE
CONSERVANCY TO. TO CONSOLIDATE
ALL THE DIFFERENT ENTITIES IN
AGENCIES MY PERSPECTIVE IS NOT
JUST A SOME MEMBER OF THE
COMMUNITY. I BELIEVE THE SECOND
LARGEST HUFFINGTON RESPONDED
THAT RESTORATION PROJECT- THE C.
I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS
BECAUSE THE SYSTEM. THE
SIMPLEMENTE PEACE NOT CONDUCIVE
FOR THE FAST IMPLEMENTATION OF
ANY PROJECTS- THE CONSERVANCY
WILL BRING ALL THOSE DIFFERENT
PLAYERS UNDER ONE UMBRELLA. WE
WILL EXPEDITE THE PROCESS OF ANY
KIND OF PROJECTS. THIS TO
CONSERVANCY CAN OFFER MANY
BENEFITS- THE COMPLEMENT THE
STATE REGULATORY AIR FORCE ON
ISSUES OF STATEWIDE
SIGNIFICANCE. THEY CAN DELIVER
PROGRAMS TAILORED TO LOCAL
REGIONAL AND REGIONAL NEEDS
INSTEAD OF MOVING FUNDS TO THE
STATE LEVEL DEPARTMENTS. AND
THEY ALLOW FOR GREATER
COORDINATION AND PARTNERSHIP
BETWEEN THE LOCAL STATE AND
FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS- IT'S
STAKEHOLDERS LOCAL TRIBES- IT
CONSERVANCY WILL ESTABLISH- THAT
OPPORTUNITY. TO ADDRESS YOU KNOW
SOME OF THE MAJOR ISSUES THAT
THE STATE IS CURRENTLY A TRYING
TO ADDRESS. SUCH AS PUBLIC
HEALTH- IN. SUCH AS
IMPLEMENTATION OF HOBBY TUTS
THAT IS MANDATED BY THE BY THE
BY BY- THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
WE BELIEVE THAT A CALL IS THAT A
CONSERVANCY CAN WORK IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH ALL THE
DIFFERENT PLAYERS- FOR THESE AND
MANY OTHER THE REASONS WHY
ORDERED IT WILL ORDERED TO THE
COMMITTEE MAY. YOU KNOW TO- NOW
. ON THE SO- ON ON ON THESE-
CONSERVANCY AND WE HAVE THE SO
AND BEHALF WITH LOCAL
COMMUNITIES AND THE AUDUBON
SOCIETY I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL

BILL- PLEASE LIMIT YOUR

TELECONFERENCE MODERATOR COULD
YOU PLEASE PROMPT ANY ONE ON THE
LINE. THANKS BY COMMENT CENTER
PORTER OPPOSITION PLEASE PRESS

ONE FORTY SIX. PEOPLE HAD. HELLO
THE FINAL ORDER WOULD REDUCE THE
COMPLETE OF THE COMPATIBILITY OF
THE SUPPORTING CONCEPT OF
SPECIFIED DEPICT. THERE ARE NO
FURTHER COMMENT PLEASE CONTINUE.
THEY WILL BRING THE DISCUSSION
BACK TO THE DAYS ANY QUESTIONS
OR COMMENTS CENTER DOLLY. YEAH I
KNOW THAT THE YOU'RE JUST
PRESENTING THIS BILL AND I AM-
IN FAVOR OF GOOD GOVERNANCE AND
SO I WANTED TO JUST. THIS IS A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THIS
YEAR ABOUT CONSERVANCY WHICH I
SAID ON WHICH YOU AUTHORED THAT
LEGISLATION- BECAUSE THERE'S A
JPA THERE'S A SOLVES THE
AUTHORITY CAN YOU MAYBE GIVE ME
A LITTLE FLAVOR FOR WHAT THE
GOVERNANCE OF THIS CONSERVANCY
IS GONNA LOOK LIKE WITH ALL
THOSE OTHER PLAYERS. I KNOW THAT
THE GENTLEMAN MENTIONED. THEY'RE
GONNA BRING ALL TOGETHER IS THAT
IS THAT. DOABLE UNDER. THE
CONSERVE AWESOME DANCERS YES
CANNIBAL UNDER THE CONSERVANCY
THE SALTON SEA AUTHORITY HAS A
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT MISSION. IN A
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT POTENTIAL
MEMBERSHIP IT'S REALLY A JOINT
POWERS AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THE AREA
AND IT IT AND THIS IS AS WAS
SAID IN THE OPENING STATEMENT IS
A FOCUS ON ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT AND SO. IT IS ARE
GOING TO BE ON A MODEL THAT IS
SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS
CONSERVANCY SO IT BRINGS
TOGETHER LOCAL OFFICIALS. END IT
BRINGS TOGETHER ALL THE STATE
AGENCIES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN
THIS PROGRAM SO EVERYBODY IS
AROUND A TABLE THAT HAS SOME
PIECE OF IT TO DECIDE HOW TO DO
IT. AND IN THE ONE THING IS THAT
THE STATE. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S
BEEN ADJUSTED UPWARD OR DOWNWARD
BUT BUT THE SOLUTION WAS IS THAT
BECAUSE THE WATER. THE OUT OF.
INTO THE SALTON SEA IS LESSENING
AND THERE'S OF ABERRATION THERE
IS SAYS THE WITNESS SAID. BOB
AREAS THAT ARE EXPOSED TO THE
LIKE THAT WORKS POSE BEFORE
THEY'RE CAUSING. A HAZARDOUS
RELEASES OF FAIR AND THE PLAN IS
TO TAKE SOME OF THE KEY AREAS
AND TURN THEM INTO MARSHES AS IT
RECEDES. SO THAT IT'S STILL PART
OF THE PACIFIC MIGRATORY FLYWAY
END IT LESSENS THE DUST AND
OTHER IMPACTS AND THE STATE IS
SET ASIDE A HUNDRED AND THIRTY
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS TO DO THIS.
AND THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO
HAVE EVERYBODY AT THE TABLE TO
TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MOVE
AHEAD ON THAT. AND EVEN THOUGH I
WAS NOT ASKED TO COMMENT ON THIS
IF THERE'S SOMETHING STRANGE
THAT HAPPENS WITH THE STATE'S
ALLOTMENT FOR THE COLORADO
RIVER. THAT WOULD BE LASSEN TO
THE AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS IN
THE AREA AND THAT WOULD BE
LASSEN TO RUN OFF INTO THE
SALTON SEA AT THAT WOULD MAKE
THIS PROBLEM MORE CUTE. SO THE
OFFICE IS A VERY TIMELY SO I
ACTION I AM VERY FAMILIAR WITH
THE SALTON SEA ACTUALLY TOURED
IT- BY TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO.
WHEN IT'S NOW GOTTEN WORSE AND
WORKED WITH THE MANY PRESS WHO
WAS ASSEMBLY. MEMBER THAT
REPRESENTED THAT AREA. IT GARCIA
AND SENATOR HUESO ALL ON TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT HOW. TO DEAL WITH
THE ACTUAL ISSUES IS THERE SO
I'M GONNA SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY
I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THE GOVERNOR
SEVEN I WANT IT ALL TAKE A LOOK
AT THAT- AS WE MOVE TO THE FLOOR
BUT TO RESERVE MY RIGHT TO VOTE
AGAINST ON THE FLOOR IF I DON'T
LIKE THE GOVERNOR'S BECAUSE I
THINK THAT'S- THE KEY TO THIS.
THIS CONSERVANCY IS HOW. THEY'RE
GOING TO WORK. WITH ALL THE
COMPETING INTERESTS THAT THAT
ARE DOWN THERE AND ACTUALLY PUT
THAT MONEY TO GOOD USE- AND- AND
ACTUALLY GET SOMETHING DONE AND
ALL ADDRESS YOUR CONCERN IN THE
CLOSE. OKAY ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS. I JUST
WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR-
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD IT'S
AN IMPORTANT ISSUE OBVIOUSLY AND
THAT WHILE I THINK DENOUNCES
NOTES AND AS WE HEARD FROM. SOME
OF THE QUESTIONS HERE IF THERE
IS SOME FEELING THAT THIS IS
STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS IT I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO MOVE
THIS BALL FORWARD WHICH IS. WHY
WE ARE RECOMMENDING THAT DO PASS
TO APPROPRIATIONS- WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE CENTER LET. THANK
YOU. IN THE- END SENATOR DOLLY
IS CORRECT. AS EVEN THE-
ANALYSIS. REFERS THERE'S WORK TO
BE DONE ON THIS BILL. AND I
BELIEVE. ARE WHAT I WAS GOING TO
OFFER TO DO WHEN I THOUGHT I'D
BE SITTING THERE. QUIZZING THE
AUTHOR IS AUTHOR OFFERED TO HELP
HIM. BECAUSE THE MODEL FOR THE
CONSERVANCY AS I SAID EARLIER
WAS USED AS THE MODEL. FOR THE
DELTA CONSERVANCY FIVE YEARS
LATER AND I THINK THERE'S REAL
POTENTIAL HERE. TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO MAKE SURE TO GET ALL THE
RIGHT STATE AGENCIES AND LOCAL
AGENCIES IN THE RIGHT BALANCE
TOGETHER. HE ALREADY HAS AN AREA
SPELLED OUT AND THEN IT'S THE
DUTIES. THAT ARE ASSIGNED TO THE
CONSERVANCY AND I THINK THIS IS
THE RIGHT MECHANISM. FOR THE
PROBLEM AND THEN I THINK WE WILL
WORK TOGETHER. TO GET A BILL
THAT YOU CAN VOTE FOR ON THE
SENATE FLOOR WHEN IT GETS THERE
I WOULD ON HIS BEHALF I WOULD
REQUEST SCHOOL- AN IPHONE. THANK
YOU IN MOTION ON THE BILL.

SPECIES IN THE UNITED STATES.
MORE HUNT MORE THAN NINE HUNDRED
OF THE STATE'S FECES ARE RISK OF
EXTINCTION AND TWO THIRDS OF OUR
NATIVE PLANTS WILL LOSE MOST OF
THEIR RANGE WITHIN THE NEXT
CENTURY. ACCORDING TO SOME
SCIENTISTS THE EXTINCTION CRISIS
IS THE MOST SERIOUS
ENVIRONMENTAL THREAT TO THE
PERSISTENCE OF CIVILIZATION
BECAUSE EXTINCTIONS ARE
IRREVERSIBLE. CONSERVING OUR
LANDS AND WATERS IS ONE OF THE
BEST TOOLS WE HAVE TO PREVENT
EXTINCTION PROTECT BIODIVERSITY
AND ECOSYSTEM SERVICES
CONSERVING LANDS AND WATERS CAN
ALSO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS AND SEQUESTER CARBON.
PROTECTING 30% OF OUR LAND IN
COASTAL WATERS BY TWENTY THIRTY
IS THE BARE MINIMUM NEEDED TO
AVOID ECOSYSTEM COLLAPSE
SAFEGUARD BIODIVERSITY AND HELP

CLIMATE. THIS BILL WOULD CODIFY

DIEGO IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MODERATOR NEXT CALL. ONE
FIFTY ONE. HE ONE FIFTY FIVE
PLEASE GO AHEAD. ONE FIFTY FIVE.
FIFTEEN YEAR RUSSIAN SPEAKING ON
BEHALF. OF THE POLITICAL PARTY
IN FAVOR OF THE BILL THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MODERATOR NEXT CALL.
AS CHAIR THERE ARE NO FURTHER
COMMENT THANK YOU AT THIS TIME
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- AND
MODERATOR THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR YOUR HELP TODAY- WILL BRING
THE MATTER BACK BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE ARE THERE QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS. WE HAVE A MOTION- I'VE
BEEN HIT ON YOUR NOT GONNA LET
ME CHAIR I'LL JUST HAVE TO ASK
MARCIA AND I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO
MY RIGHT. YOU'RE NOT USED TO
WORK AT LOOKING TO YOUR RIGHT IS
THE PROBLEM HERE. I WOULD LIKE
TO JUST SAY LOOK I KNOW I HAVE
NO ILLUSIONS THAT THIS BILL WILL
NOT GET OUT OF HERE WITH FLYING
COLORS AND I HEARD THE TESTIMONY
FROM ALL THE WITNESSES. BUT I
JUST WANNA SAY THAT YOU KNOW
WE'VE SEEN- IS AN EXECUTIVE
ORDER SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR AND
IT'S GOING TO RATIFY IT IS GOING
TO PUT IN PERPETUITY. OUR GOAL.
BUT THERE'S NO DETAIL IN IN THIS
PIECE OF LEGISLATION OF HOW
WE'RE GONNA ACHIEVE THAT GOAL
AND I THINK THAT THAT'S- THE ONE
THING THAT THE PUBLIC. HAS BEEN
MISLED ON MANY PIECES OF
LEGISLATION THAT THAT SINCE I'VE
BEEN HERE FOR TEN YEARS WE HAD
SB ONE HUNDRED WE'VE HAD. SB
THIRTY TWO WHICH EXTENSION OF
THE ORIGINAL AB THIRTY TWO- WITH
NO DETAIL AND WE CONTINUE TO
PASS LEGISLATION WITH NO DETAIL
HOW WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA ACHIEVE
IT YEAH AND THIS IS A VERY
AGGRESSIVE PLAN. E. THIRTY IS
YEAH LIKE RIGHT AROUND THE
CORNER SEVEN YEARS FROM NOW AND
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT
TO. MEET THE GOALS OF THIS PIECE
OF THIS TYPE OF LEGISLATION
THERE ARE COSTS TO GO WITH THAT
THERE ARE REGULATIONS THAT COME
WITH THAT. AT THE SAME TIME
WE'RE SEEING OUR ENERGY COSTS
EXPLODE WE'RE SEEING THE COST OF
GOODS GO UP IN CALIFORNIA. COST
OF TRANSPORTATION ALL THOSE
THINGS ARE HAPPENING COST OF
ELECTRICITY. NOTHING MENTIONED
IN THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION.
AND SO. I WOULD I'M NOT GOING TO
SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY BECAUSE-
IT DOESN'T HAVE THAT DETAIL THAT
WE WERE DESPERATELY NEED. TO BE
ABLE TO ARTICULATE BACK TO OUR
CONSTITUENTS WHAT IT MEANS FOR
CALIFORNIA TO LEAD THE WAY. IN
THE WORLD AND THIS MIGHT.
INFORMATION TALKS ABOUT THE U.
N. AND ALL THE- THE GLOBALLY
STEP OF CALIFORNIA'S DOING ALL
THE WORK. AND I DON'T SEE CHINA
I DON'T SEE OTHER COUNTRIES.
LEADING THE WAY WHEN WE PRODUCE
. 1% OF THE- EMISSIONS. OR
CARBON- IN THE WORLD SO CAN YOU
DRESS HOW WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING
TO GET THIS DONE. AT THE SAME
TIME. MAKING SURE THAT
CALIFORNIA CAN AFFORD TO STAY IN
CALIFORNIA TREND THAT WE
ACTUALLY ACHIEVE IT YEAH. I
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION
CENTER DOLLY IN THE COMMENTS AND
I SHARE MANY OF YOUR CONCERNS
ABOUT HOW WE'RE GONNA KEEP THIS
GOAL IN A THOUGHTFUL BUT
METHODICAL WAY. AND AS YOU MAY
RECALL THIS IS SINCE I BECAME
CHAIR OF THIS COMMITTEE- WE DID
HOLD A AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS
YEAR WE DID HOLD A HEARING
EARLIER THIS YEAR. ON THAT VERY
QUESTION HOW DO WE GET TO THIRTY
BY THIRTY NOW I VIEW THE THIRTY
BY THIRTY DEBATE AS A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT THAN THE CARBON
EMISSIONS DEBATE- THIS ABOUT
TRYING TO PRESERVE AND MAYBE
EXPAND OUR- OPEN SPACES THAT ARE
PRESERVED I THINK THAT'S
IMPORTANT- FOR BIODIVERSITY IS
ALSO REALLY IMPORTANT FOR. WHAT
CALIFORNIA IS BECAUSE WHEN WE
THINK OF OUR STATE AYE I KNOW
MANY OF US I THINK IT'S PART OF
OUR ETHOS. WHEN WE THINK ABOUT
THE OUTDOORS WHERE THIS
BACKPACKING HIKING FARMING
SURFING. OR WHATEVER ELSE THE
OUTDOORS. OUTDOOR WILDERNESS IS
PART OF OUR DNA. NOW AS FAR AS
YOUR QUESTION WHY DON'T WE HAVE
DETAILS IN THIS- BECAUSE AS YOU
MAY RECALL I WAS VERY FORCEFUL
IN ASKING ADMINISTRATION EARLIER
THIS YEAR ABOUT PROGRESS AND I
DON'T FEEL LIKE WE'RE GETTING
THERE. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A
REPORT COMING OUT FROM NATURAL
RESOURCES AGENCY TO THE
LEGISLATURE. THAT IS DUE NO
LATER THAN MARCH THIRTY FIRST OF
NEXT YEAR. AND SO WE THOUGHT IT
THIS POINT TIME IS NOT
APPROPRIATE TO CALL FOR SOME
KIND OF REPORT BENCHMARKS. WITH
AND WHEN WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A
REPORT COMING OUT SO THIS IS
REALLY STEP ONE. OF A LONGER
PROCESS AFTER THAT REPORT COMES
IN- WE DO ANTICIPATE THAT WE'RE
GOING TO ACTUALLY TRY TO SET
SOME INTERIM KERR GETS IN YOU
CAN LOOK FOR SOME LEGISLATION
NEXT YEAR. FURTHERING. THIS
SYSTEM IF IT'S GETS OUT. WELL I
JUST WANTED. FOR THE RECORD.
MAKE SURE THE RECORD KNOWS THAT.
PERSONAL 65% OF CALIFORNIA. IS
PROTECTED IT'S THE FOREST
SERVICE AND BUREAU OF LAND
MANAGEMENT. LAND IN CALIFORNIA
SO WE HAVE. THERE'S NEVER GOING
TO BE A HOUSE BUILT ON THERE
THERE'S NEVER GONNA BE. MAYBE WE
MIGHT DO SOME- YOU KNOW
FORESTRY- BUT AND THERE'S MANY
CONSERVATION EASEMENT SO. SO I
KNOW THIS IS A MORE ABOUT. LAND
BUT- BUT A BIG CHUNK OF
CALIFORNIA'S ALREADY PROTECTED.
AND MANY OTHER PLACES ARE
PROTECTED BY CONSERVANCIES AND
CONSERVATION EASEMENTS AND THE
LIKE. SO DO I JUST WANT TO FOR
THE RECORD SHOWED THAT WE HAVE
NO DETAIL ON THE PLAN. OF HOW
WE'RE GONNA GET THERE AND I
THINK THAT'S CRITICAL FOR
CALIFORNIA NO AND A COST
ASSOCIATED WITH IT AT THE SAME
TIME. SO THANK YOU. SENATE THE
ONLY RESPONSE I HAVE IS AGAIN WE
WHAT WE'RE WAITING FOR THOSE
NUMBERS FOR THE REPORT FROM NEXT
YEAR IN. FIGURES I HAVE ARE THAT
WE HAVE ABOUT 2324% I THINK IT
THAT'S WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION
TESTIFIED. OF OUR OUR LAND THAT
IS PROTECTED BUT MAYBE WE CAN
GET BACK TO THEM AND SEE WHAT
THE DISCREPANCY IS. PRIVATE
LENDER PUBLICLY. I THINK ALL IN
. BUT- SENATORS BOOK. IT YES I
ARE WELL I'VE- TO MAKE US UP BUT
I'M GONNA WAIT AND SEE IF
ANYBODY ELSE HAS COME. THEN I
WOULD LIKE TO. VOTE SENATOR
DOLLY AND I'VE HAD THIS EXCHANGE
ON THE FLOOR SO I MIGHT AS WELL
JUST REPEAT THE OTHER HALF THAT
ARE USUALLY REPEAT. SO WHEN THAT
HAPPENS AND I'LL DO IT ON TWO
THINGS AND ALL BEGIN. ON THE
STATISTICS ABOUT FOR SLANT.
BECAUSE IT IS FOR SLANT THAT 57%
IS IN FEDERAL OWNERSHIP OF WHAT
IS IN THE FOREFRONT OF THE FORCE
LAND IS A FRACTION. OF THE TOTAL
LAND OF THE STATE AND SO YOU GET
TO A LOWER NUMBER WHEN YOU
FACTOR IN ALL THE URBAN AND
AGRICULTURAL. AND NON FORCE
LANCE AND YES THE FOR THE FOURTH
LINE IS FIFTY SEVEN PERCENT. OF
FEDERAL ABOUT 123% STATE AND
THAT THE REST AND PRIVATE
OWNERSHIP IT. BUT I WANT TO
SPEAK SPECIFICALLY TO THE ISSUE
OF GOALS AND WHETHER OR NOT
THEIR SPECIFICITY. BECAUSE I WAS
PRESENT. AS A LEGISLATOR WHEN WE
ADOPTED ASSEMBLY BILL THIRTY
TWO. AND THE CRITICISM AGAINST
IT IN TWO THOUSAND SIX IS THERE
WERE NO SPECIFICS. AND YET THE
AUTHORITY WAS GRANTED. OF THE
FUNDING WAS GRANTED. AND EVEN
THOUGH THERE WERE NO SPECIFICS
IN THE BILL. WE MET THAT GOAL
THREE YEARS EARLY AND WENT ON TO
THE NEXT CALL SAME THING
HAPPENED WHEN I WAS MAYOR THIRTY
SOMETHING YEARS AGO AND THE
DIVERSION FROM OUR LANDFILLS WAS
ADOPTED IT WAS WE WERE GOING
250% DIVERSION WITHIN A CERTAIN
TIME. I THOUGHT AT THE TIME
IT'LL NEVER HAPPEN THERE WAS NOT
SPECIFICITY OF THE FOR THE
PANDEMIC WE WERE AT 60% OF
CALIFORNIAN LOOKING AT SEVENTY
FIVE. SAME THING HAPPENED WITH
REGARD TO RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY
IN THE PORTFOLIO WAS ADOPTED IN
TWENTY ELEVEN IT'S LIKE WE'RE
GONNA HAVE 33% BY TWENTY TWENTY
WE EXCEEDED IT YEARS EARLY AND
WENT AHEAD THERE WASN'T
SPECIFICITY BUT IT WAS DONE. AND
SO I THINK THE IMPORTANT THING
IS. IS THAT YOU IF YOU ADOPT THE
GOAL AND YOU HAVE THE TOOLS YOU
HAVE EVERY IMPETUS. AND EVERY
TOOL TO MEET THE GOAL AND THAT
THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE WITH
THE GOALS AND THIS IS THE LATEST
IN A SERIES THAT DOES EXACTLY
THAT. AND I KNOW THAT FROM WHAT
THE AUTHOR SAID HE WILL CONTINUE
TO WORK JUSTICE GOES THROUGH TO
DEAL WITH REPORTS AND OTHER
THINGS AND SEE IF THERE'S-
THINKS HE NEEDS TO. MAKE BUT-
THAT SAID AND THEN JUST BEFORE I
ASK IF YOU WISH TO CLOSE- AS
CHAIR THE COMMITTEE I HAVE TO
ASK YOU IF YOU'RE ACCEPTING THE
AMENDMENTS THAT THE OTHER CHAIR
OF THE COMMITTEE ASKED YOU TO.
TAKE WE ARE ACCEPTING
AMENDMENTS- AND I WANT TO THANK
THE STAFF FOR THEIR INCREDIBLE
WORK ON THIS BILL. I DO THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT AS A PRIORITY AND
I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE
THEN I'LL TAKE THAT AS A CLOSE.
