WHEN FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF

FROM THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S
OFFICE SO. A WELCOME TO THE
COMMITTEE. AND WHENEVER YOU'RE
READY MISSING NO WHEN. GO. FOR
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND-
AND MEMBERS MACHEL NEW IN WITH
THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. FOR
THE HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENT
HOUSING GRANT PROGRAM THE MAY
REVISION PROPOSES STRUCTURAL
CHANGES TO THIS PROGRAM AS PART
OF THE THIRTY ONE POINT FIVE
BILLION DOLLARS SOLUTIONS
PACKAGE PROPOSED AT THE MAY
REVISION. THE MAY REVISION
PROPOSES TO SHIFT THE CURRENT
AND PLANNED IT GENERAL FUND
SUPPORT. OF APPROXIMATELY ONE
POINT ONE BILLION FOR BOTH THE
UC AND THE CSU UNDER THIS
PROGRAM TO NOW BE FUNDED BY UC
AND CSU BONDS RATHER THAN BE
FUNDED WITH UP FRONT GENERAL
FUND SUPPORT. IN ADDITION THE
MAYOR VISION ALSO PROPOSES
SEVENTY FIVE MILLION ONGOING
GENERAL FUND TO SUPPORT THE
UNDERLYING DEBT SERVICE OF THESE
BONDS OF THIS PROPOSED SEVENTY
FIVE MILLION. THIRTY MILLION IS
PROPOSED FOR THE UC PROJECTS AND
FORTY FIVE MILLION IS PROPOSED
FOR THE CSU PROJECTS. UNDER THIS
PROPOSAL THE UC AND CSU PROJECTS
FUNDED BY BOND FINANCING WOULD
STILL BE EXPECTED TO ADHERE TO
ALL THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS
OF THIS PROGRAM INCLUDING.
COMMITTING TO THE NUMBER OF
BEDS- IN THEIR SUBMITTED GRANT
APPLICATIONS AND MEETING
STATUTORY RENT LEVELS. FURTHER
WE WOULD NOT EXPECT THAT THIS
SHIFT IN FUNDING MECHANISM WOULD
AFFECT THE TIMELINE OF THE
PROJECTS THAT ARE FUNDED BY THIS
PROGRAM. FOR THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES THEIR SHARE OF THIS
PROGRAM REMAINS- THEIR SHARE AND
THE STRUCTURE OF THIS PROGRAM
REMAINS UNCHANGED. THE MAY
REVISION PROPOSES FOUR HUNDRED
AND FIFTY MILLION ONE TIME
GENERAL FUND FOR TWENTY TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR. AND NINETY
FIVE POINT FOUR MILLION. ONE
TIME GENERAL FUND FOR TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE FOR
AFFORDABLE STUDENT HOUSING AT
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES. FOR THE
STUDENT HOUSING REVOLVING LOAN
PROGRAM THE MAYOR VISION
PROPOSES NO CHANGES BEYOND WHAT
WAS PROPOSED THAT THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET. THOUGH THE MAYOR VISION
PROPOSES TO SHIFT THE GENERAL
FUND SUPPORT FOR UC AND CSU
PROJECTS THE BOND FINANCING. THE
MAY REVISION MAINTAINS THE
OVERALL FUNDING COMMITMENT FOR
THE SEATING STUDENT HOUSING
GRANT PROGRAM. AND THE
ADMINISTRATION CONTINUES TO
RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF
AFFORDABLE STUDENT HOUSING BUT
PROPOSES TO TAKE THESE ACTIONS
GIVEN. THE OVERALL BURKE BUDGET
ARCHITECTURE OF THE MAY REVISION
. WITH THAT THANK YOU HAPPY TO
ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU
MIGHT HAVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
NOW WILL GO TO THE LEGISLATIVE
PANELS HAS SAID JENNIFER PATEL
ALLEGING ANALYST'S OFFICE THOUGH
THE STUDENT HOUSING PROJECTS
BEFORE YOU ARE PART OF A LARGER
PACKAGE OF UC AND CSU CAPITAL
PROJECTS AT THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPONENT. PROPOSING TO CONVERT
TO BORROWING THAT TOTAL PACKAGE
IS TWO POINT ONE BILLION YOU
JUST HEARD FINANCE SHARE THAT
HOUSING COMPONENT THE ONE POINT
ONE BILLION ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SEVENTY FIVE MILLION AND ONGOING
DOT SERVICE. AS YOU'VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT THROUGHOUT THE
SEASON WE THINK THAT FINANCING
IS A REASONABLE WAY TO COVER
CONSTRUCTION COSTS THAT SPREADS
THE CROSSED OUT OVER THE LIFE OF
THE FACILITY. BORROWING COMES
WITH INTEREST COSTS IN NOMINAL
TERMS THAT DOUBLES THE COST I
WANT TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE
INFLATIONARY FOX OVER TIME
INCREASES PROJECT COSTS ABOUT
ONE POINT FOUR TIMES. GIVEN THE
BENEFITS OF THAT FINANCING YOU
MIGHT STILL WANT TO PUT SOME
UNIVERSITY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
BORROW FOR THEM. WE RECOMMEND
WHATEVER PROJECTS YOU SELECT BE
HIGH STATE PRIORITIES OF
COMPOUND STRONG JUSTIFICATION.
SUCH AS LIFE SAFETY BOTH
SEGMENTS AS YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT
HAVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE SEISMIC
SAFETY AND OTHER LIFE SAFETY
PROJECTS ON THEIR EXISTING
ACADEMIC BUILDINGS. IF YOU WANT
TO CONVERT SOME OF THE HOUSING
PROJECTS TO DAD ONE OPTION WOULD
BE FOR YOU TO. TAKE THAT ON FOR
ALL THE EXISTING PROJECTS THAT
THE STATE HAS ALREADY APPROVED
THE BULK OF THE PROJECTS FOR UC
AND CSU HAVE ALREADY BEEN
APPROVED. SO THAT SEVENTY FIVE
MILLION AND THAT SERVICE UNDER
THE MAY REVISION THIS WOULD JUST
BRING DOWN YOUR DEBT SERVICE
COSTS TO SIXTY MILLION. BUT IT'S
A SLIGHTLY MORE PRUDENT
APPROACH. YOU COULD REVISIT THE
OTHER PROJECTS AGAINST ONCE THE
STATE BUDGET SITUATION IMPROVES
. THE MAY REVISION IN CONTRAST
TO THE UNIVERSITY PROJECTS WHICH
ARE CONVERTED TO MARLEEN JUST
LEAVES AS YOU HEARD THE COLLEGE
PROJECTS FUNDED WITH. CASH THE
LADY IS A LITTLE BIT OF THAT
CASH ABOUT 20% TO BUDGET YOUR
PLUS ONE. FOR THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE PROJECTS WE RECOMMEND
NOT DOING ANY PROJECTS AT THIS
TIME REVISITING DOWN THE ROAD.
THERE IN EARLY PROJECT PHASES
WITH THE COLLEGE PROJECTS IN
PARTICULAR IT'S UNCLEAR WHETHER
PROVIDING MORE ON CAMPUS HOUSING
FOR CAMPUSES THAT CURRENTLY
DON'T HAVE ANY HOUSING. IS A
MORE COST EFFECTIVE APPROACH
THAN JUST SUPPORTING MORE
COMMUNITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
MORE TRADITIONAL HOUSING
VOUCHERS ARE MORE TRADITIONAL
STUDENT FINANCIAL AID THAT'S
INTENDED TO HELP STUDENTS WITH
THEIR HOUSING COSTS. GIVEN THIS
IS THE FIRST ISSUE ON THE AGENDA
JUSTICE MAYBE SAVE YOU SOME TIME
AS YOU WORK THROUGH THE REST OF
YOUR A JOHN I JUST WANTED TO
SUGGEST TO BIG PICTURE ISSUES
YOU MIGHT WANT TO KEEP IN MIND.
ONE IS YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD
ABOUT THE L. A. O. REVENUES- WE
CAME OUT WITH SOME INFORMATION
YESTERDAY WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR
OFFICE AS- COMBINED PERSONAL
INCOME CORPORATE AND SALES TAX
REVENUES WERE ELEVEN BILLION
BELOW THE MAY REVISION. SO I
THINK THAT MAY REVISION REVENUES
ARE ARE OPTIMISTIC IF REVENUES
WERE TO COME DOWN LOWER YOU
WOULD MEAN MORE BUDGET SOLUTION
YOUR BUDGET CHOICES WOULD BE
MORE DIFFICULT. AND LASTLY
BECAUSE OF THE WEAKENING OF THE
STATE REVENUES WE RECOMMEND YOU
REJECT ALL MAY REVISION NEW
SPENDING PROPOSALS WITHOUT
PREJUDICE. ANY NEW SPENDING
PROPOSAL PUT YOUR ONGOING CORE
PROGRAMS JUST SO SOMEONE GREATER
RISK OF REDUCTIONS DOWN THE
ROAD. WE WOULD RECOMMEND YOU
APPLY THIS HIGH THRESHOLD FOR
NEW SPENDING ACROSS THE NINETY
EIGHT AND THE NINE NINETY EIGHT
SIDES OF YOUR BUDGET. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- I HAVE A
FEW QUESTIONS AND- IN SOME WAYS
THEY'RE FOR- ONE OF THEM IS A
FOLLOW UP TO OUR LAST HEARING ON
THE SUBJECT AND- I WAS JUST
GONNA. ASK WHAT WELL FIRST I
SHOULD JUST MAKE A STATEMENT
THAT. THAT WITH THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE WHAT WE HAD THIS
DISCUSSION LAST TIME AND THE
CHOICES NOT SORT OF. VOUCHERS
AND OTHER THINGS PARTICULARLY IN
MY DISTRICT WHERE THERE'S ONE
BIG PROJECT THERE'S NOT ADEQUATE
HOUSING GIVING VOUCHERS. THEIR
SECTION EIGHT VOUCHERS WERE
PEOPLE CAN'T FIND HOUSING IN THE
AREA SO THERE'S NOT HOUSING
RESOURCES FOR PEOPLE. THAT ARE
STRUGGLING AND A SIX HUNDRED
UNIT PROJECT. ACTUALLY PROVIDES
THE HOUSING THAT DOESN'T EXIST
FOR VOUCHERS SO IT WAS FOR SOME
PLACES THAT I DON'T THINK IS A-
VIABLE ALTERNATIVE. AND FROM. MY
QUESTION FIRST WAS GOING TO BE
ABOUT THE INTERSEGMENT OF
PROJECTS THERE WERE THREE. AND
ONE OF FROM UC WAS DOING BONDS
SO THAT. ARE HERE IT WASN'T
REALLY SUBJECT TO SORT OF THE
PRIORITIES IN THE POTS BUT THE
OTHER TWO WERE SUBJECT TO THE
PRIORITIES IN THE POTS AND DO WE
KNOW. WITH THIS FUNDING
EVERYTHING THAT WAS. IN THE
APPROPRIATED AMOUNT. OUR THOSE.
IN THE FUNDING LEVEL FOR BOTH
PARTS WERE SURPRISED ARE THOUGH
TO INTERSECT METAL ONES LEFT
STILL STRUGGLING AND START MAYBE
WITH THE L. A. U. S. SO IF YOU
WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD THERE'S
ENOUGH MONEY FOR YOU SEE TO DO
ONE MORE PROJECT. AND YOUR
FUNDING UNDER THE MAY REVISION
ALL OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
MAYOR VISION PROJECTS SO THERE'S
A BIT OF A DISCONNECT RIGHT NOW
YOU SEE WOULD YOU WOULD
PRESUMABLY SELECT THE REMAINING
YOU SEE PROJECT YOU WANTED YOU
COULD SELECT AN INTEREST
SEGMENTAL PROJECT. RIGHT NOW IF
YOU APPROVE THE MAY REVISION
THAT MONEY CORRESPONDING ON THE
COLLEGE SIDE WOULD ALREADY BE
THERE- BUT THERE WOULDN'T BE
ENOUGH MONEY ON THE UC SIDE TO
DO THAT. THE OTHER INTERSEGMENT
A PROJECTS THE OTHER TWO THAT
YOU MENTION SO YOU MIGHT JUST IN
YOUR FINAL BUDGET ACTIONS WANT
TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE TAKING
CONFORMING ACTIONS WITH UC AND
CSU RIGHT NOW THEY'RE- THEY'RE
NOT REALLY CONFORMING. END AND
TO GO BACK TO ANOTHER POINT THAT
CAME UP IN THE PREVIOUS HEARING.
WE WOULD HAVE TO BE EXPLICIT IN
BUDGET TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE IN
SOME WAY TO LINK THE TWO
TOGETHER RIGHT YEAH YOU CAN DO
THAT THROUGH EITHER YOUR BUDGET
BILL YOUR TRAILER BILL BUT YES
YOU CAN BE EXPLICIT AND FOR
THOSE OF YOU FOLLOWING IT HOME
THE FINANCE PERSON NODDED. OUR
IT WAS INAUDIBLE BUT SHE NOT.
SAYS SO ARE THAT'S GOOD AND I
THINK THAT'S SOMETHING. WE WOULD
WANT TO DO BEFORE I GET TO MY
OTHER QUESTION. A QUORUM HAS
ARRIVED. IN ALASKA IF YOU'LL
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. THIS IS
THE ROLE FOR A QUORUM SENATOR
LAYERED HERE CENTER LIBERTY HERE
CENTERMAN. CENTER SMALL CUEVAS
CENTER SMALL CLAIMS HERE SENATOR
CHILL BOTH. FINANCIAL BOTH HERE
WE HAVE A QUOTE QUORUM GREAT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. BUT NOW
GOING BACK- I WAS GONNA ASK A
LITTLE ABOUT THE SHIFT TO BONDS
IN AND- OUR- AND I APPRECIATED
DALY- WENT. TO ONE PLACE I WAS
GOING TO GO ALREADY WHICH IS
THAT IT INCREASES THE COST WITH
THE DEBT SERVICE. OF
SUBSTANTIALLY. AND I THINK I
KNOW THE ANSWER BUT I HAVE TO
ASK AT THE FRONT. IS IT YOUR
INTENT TO REVENUES GET COULD.
AGAIN TO. TO COURT BY OUT THE
BONDS AND JUST DEAL WITH THIS ON
A CASH BASIS. I DON'T THINK WE
HAVE ANY. YOU KNOW SPECIFIC
PLANS FOR IF THERE IF THE
REVENUE SITUATION GETS BETTER
THAT THAN THE BONDS ARE BOUGHT
OUT I. THINK. CERTAINLY IF THAT-
SITUATION WORD IT WERE TO COME
AND TO PASS I THINK THAT COULD
BE ON THE TABLE BUT THAT'S NOT.
WHAT I HAVEN'T BEEN PART OF ANY
CONVERSATIONS WERE WE'VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT THAT SPECIFICALLY
AND I EXPECTED THAT TO BE A
VERSION OF THE ANSWER BUT- I
JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO
PUT OUT THERE BECAUSE- HE WORE
WHAT'S HAPPENING IS IF YOU LOOK
AT THE OVERALL. PROJECTIONS FOR
THE BUDGET THE OUT YEARS GET
WORSE AND WE ARE TAKING DEBT
SERVICE AND MOVING IT INTO THE
OUT YEARS WHERE THERE'S ALREADY
A PROBLEM AND WE'RE ACTUALLY
ADDING TO THE PROBLEM. I DON'T
WANT. A TAKE AWAY FROM THE FACT
THAT. WE WANT THIS TO BE DONE
AND WORKS CITED ABOUT THE FACT
THAT A SOLUTION WAS FOUND. BUT
BUT THERE'S THAT ISSUE THE OTHER
THING I WAS GOING TO ASK AND I
DON'T KNOW IF EITHER OF YOU KNOW
THE ANSWER TO THIS. IS THIS IS
OFF THE GENERAL FUND IN A WIDE
THE GENERAL FUND IS. IS PAYING
THE SEGMENTS FOR THE DEBT
SERVICE IS THIS GOING TO AFFECT
THEIR ABILITY TO BOND ON THEIR
OVERALL CAPITAL PROGRAMS IS JUST
SOMETHING THAT IS MOVED INTO
THAT FAX- HOW THEY'RE GONNA.
HAVE TO DEAL. UNDERSTANDING IS
IN THE NEAR TERM NO. THEY ARE
BELOW THEIR DOT CAPS AND THEY
HAVE ROOM TO DO ADDITIONAL
PROJECTS. I THINK ONE OF THE
ISSUES FOR YOU AS IT HAS SOME
IMPACT OVER THE LONG HAUL YOU
PROBABLY AS A STATE ONLY ONE
CARRY A CERTAIN DOT SERVICE LOAD
YOU ONLY WANT UC AND CSU TO BE
CARRYING CERTAIN THAT SERVICE
LOADS YOU HAVE THOSE LOADS
SPECIFIED IN STATUTE. SO IF YOU
CHOOSE TO USE IT SORT OF NOW YOU
YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO USE IT
LATER IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE IT
FOR THESE PRODUCTS PROJECTS YOU
WON'T BE ABLE TO USE IT. FOR
OTHER PROJECTS DOWN THE ROAD.
YOU SEE UNDER THIS PROPOSAL GETS
CLOSER TO THEIR 15% CAP. THE
ISSUE HAS MORE ROOM. I IT'S
STILL OF EFFECTIVELY GO COME THE
OTHER. YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO ON
THE CAPITAL SIDE OF THEIR BUDGET
ACADEMIC BUILDINGS DOWN THE ROAD
OR WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE
ADDITIONAL HOUSING DOWN THE
ROAD. SO ACTUALLY JUST AS A
COMMENT THAT MIGHT FORCE THE
ANSWER TO THE QUESTION I JUST
ASKED IS IF IT TURNS OUT. THIS
MECHANISM IS PUSHING OTHER
THINGS OUT THAT WE ALL
SUPPORTED. THEY HAVE THE ABILITY
TO BOND WE MIGHT WANNA. AT SOME
POINT TRY TO GIVE THEM THE ROOM
UNDER THE CAP BY FIGURING OUT
HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS BUT- AGIS.
A NOW QUESTIONS FROM OTHER
COMMITTEE MEMBERS OTHER- MORON-
THE FIRST PART OF HIGHER
EDUCATION PART ONE STUDENT
HOUSING. NO I JUST THINK RUSSIA
WOULD DARE I JUST WANT TO
REITERATE THE POINT THAT YOU
MADE ABOUT THE NEED FOR HOUSING-
IN OUR COMMUNITIES JUST. ACCESS
TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND
PARTICULARLY FOR VERY LOW INCOME
IS TOUGH AND WE- IT'S A STRAIN
WHEN WE HAVE STUDENTS COMPETING
WITH FAMILIES. TO TRY TO GET
ACCESS TO THE VERY SMALL.
PERCENTAGE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
WE HAVE ACROSS THE STATE AND
PARTICULARLY IN PLACES LIKE. OF
LIKE LA AND SO I JUST WANT TO
STRESS THE NEED TO PRIORITIZE
THOSE HOUSING PROJECTS AND THE
NEED. FOR INCENTIVIZING IN
ENCOURAGING THOSE PROJECTS TO BE
A MULTIPLIER FOR OPPORTUNITIES
IN TERMS OF HOW. THE CAMPUSES
WILL MOVE FORWARD- WITH THESE
PROJECTS LOOKING AT THINGS LIKE
TARGET LOCAL HIGHER LOOKING AT
THINGS LIKE. A SKILL IN TRAIN SO
I JUST WANTED TO ADD AT THAT
POINT- I THINK WE'LL HAVE MORE
AT THE DEBT. FRAMEWORK YOU
SHARED MISTER CHAIR IS ALSO- ONE
TO CONSIDER- BUT I WANTED TO
CLARIFY THAT. THE INTERSEGMENT
ALL HOUSING. WHAT DOES THAT ALSO
MEAN FOR THE ACTUAL PROJECTS THE
CAPITAL PROJECTS LIKE THE UC
IMMUNOLOGY DEPARTMENT AT THAT
ONE IS IN OUR NEXT AT THAT ARE
NOT A NEXT AYE OKAY I JUST
WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT THANK YOU
GREAT NO THAT'S GOOD ANY
QUESTIONS. AND THEN ONE LAST
THING IT OCCURRED TO ME I FORGOT
I LEFT OUT SOMETHING AND THAT IS
ON THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE SIDE.
IT MIGHT MAKE SENSE TO CONSIDER
LEASE REVENUE BONDS OR OR
SOMETHING IF IN FACT THERE'S
RENTS AND THERE'S A CASH FLOW
THERE SO THAT'S JUST DISCUSSION
THAT MIGHT BE HAD AS WE AS WE
MOVE DOWN. THE ROAD ON THE
BUDGET ANYTHING ELSE ON THE SIDE
. SOON NONDA AND WE'RE GONNA
MOVE TO ISSUE NUMBER TWO AND WE
HAVE GABRIELA CHÁVEZ FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND
INCLINE FROM THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE. AND WE HAVE
PEOPLE AVAILABLE FOR ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS- AND IT'S THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AND
VARIOUS OF PROPOSALS THAT ARE
INCLUDED THERE SO FROM. HERE ONE
MAY ASK- FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE AND THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE TO MAKE OPENING
COMMENTS AND THEN WILL- GO TO
QUESTIONS. GOOD MORNING CHAIR
MEMBERS COVERED LIKE CHÁVEZ FOR
THE PERMANENT FINANCE. THE MAY
REVISION MAINTAINS THE MULTI
YEAR CONTRACT WITH THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AND
SUSTAIN AN INCREASE OF
APPROXIMATELY TWO HUNDRED AND
FIFTEEN POINT FIVE MILLION AND
GOING GENERAL FUND. TO SUPPORT
OPERATING COSTS REPRESENTING A
5% BASING. ALSO THERE IS A SHIFT
OF FOUR POINT EIGHT MILLION FROM
UC'S MAIN APPROPRIATION. TO
PROVIDE CONTINUES SUPPORT FOR
YOU SEE A CULTURE AND NATURAL
RESOURCES. AND IN AN EFFORT TO
ADDRESS THE CURRENT FISCAL
CHALLENGES THE MAY RELATIONSHIPS
THE FINANCING APPROACH OF
SEVERAL TWENTY TWENTY TWO
CAPITAL THE PROJECTS AS
DISCUSSED BY MY COLLEAGUE. MORE
SPECIFICALLY WANTING FUNDING FOR
SEVERAL PROJECTS IS REPLACED
WITH THAT SERVICE AS FOLLOW.
THIRTY MILLION I'M GOING GENERAL
FUND IS PROVIDED TO SUPPORT DEBT
SERVICE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE UC HIDE EDUCATION STUDENT
HOUSING GRANT PROGRAM PROJECTS.
THIS FUNDING REPLACES
APPROXIMATELY FOUR HUNDRED AND
THIRTY SEVEN MILLION IN CURRENT
AND PLANNED GENERAL FUND SUPPORT
FOR UC. ALSO THIRTY THREE POINT
THREE MILLION I'M GOING GENERAL
FUND. IS PROVIDED TO SUPPORT
THAT SERVICE COSTS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE UC MERCED AND UC
RIVERSIDE CAMPUS EXPANSION
PROJECTS AND THE UC BERKELEY
CLEAN ENERGY CAMPUS PROJECTS.
THIS ACTION REPLACES FOUR
HUNDRED NINETY EIGHT MILLION ONE
TIME GENERAL FUND PROVIDING THE
TWENTY TWENTY TO BUDGET.
ADMINISTRATION IS COMMITTED TO
SUPPORTING THESE PROJECTS THAT
THAT SERVICE FUNDING APPROACH
MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR ALL
PROJECTS RECEIVED APPROPRIATE
SUPPORT. THERE'S A FEW A NEW
FINDING ITEMS THE MAY REVISION
INCLUDES TWO MILLION ON GOING
GENERAL FUND SUPPORT UC
RIVERSIDE SCHOOL MEDICINE. ALSO
THERE'S A FIVE MILLION ONE TIME
GENERAL FUND TO SUPPORT
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS
ANGELES ROB J. BUNCHE CENTER FOR
AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES. LASTLY
THE MAY REVISION ALSO INCLUDES
TWO MILLION ONE TIME GENERAL
FUND THE PILOT AN INTREPID NERD
IN PRECEDENCE PROJECT. FOR
FOREIGN BORN ENTREPRENEURS AND
YOU SEE STUDENTS IN SUPPORT OF
JOB CREATION AND FOSTERING
GLOBAL TALENT FOR INNOVATIONS IN
AREAS THAT MEET. THIS
COMPLIMENTS RECENT INVESTMENTS
AND IMMIGRATION TALENT AN
OPPORTUNITY THROUGH EFFORTS FOR
YOU COLLEGE STUDENTS WORKERS AND
THOSE PURSUING PROFESSIONAL
LICENSE. AND INTRAPRENEURS.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THEN WE'RE
GONNA MOVE TO THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S. YOU VERY MUCH MR
CHAIRMAN SENATORS INCLINE WITH
THE L. L. IF YOU HEARD MOMENTS
AGO FROM OUR- DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE COLLEAGUE THE MAY
REVISION RETAINS THE 5% BASING
CHRIS FOR YOU SEE. WE ESTIMATE
THE 5% INCREASE WILL NOT COVER
ALL OF UC'S OPERATING COSTS THE
5% INCREASE IS STILL HIGH
RELATIVE TO THE FUNDING
INCREASES PROPOSED FOR MANY
OTHER SECTORS IN THE STATE
BUDGET. GIVEN AVAILABLE
RESOURCES IN A CONTINUED
SOFTENING OF THE BUDGET OUTLOOK
WE CONTINUE TO RECOMMEND VIEWING
THIS 5% AUGMENTATION IS IN UPPER
BOUND. WHICH COULD BE REVISED
DOWNWARD IF NECESSARY. THE
LARGEST CHANGES IN THE MAY
REVISION FOR YOU SEE INVOLVED
THE SHIFTING OF HOW THE STUDENT
HOUSING PROJECTS ARE FUNDED
WHICH JUST HEARD AS WELL AS THE
CAPITAL OUTLAY PROJECTS MOVING
THOSE FROM GENERAL FUND TO.
UNIVERSITY BOND FUNDED WITH THE
STATE PAYING THE ASSOCIATED THAT
SERVICE ON THOSE PROJECTS.
INTERESTING TIMING ENOUGH FOCUS
THE BULK OF MY PRESENTATION ON
THOSE PROJECTS. REGARDING THE
BERKELEY CLEAN ENERGY CAMPUS
PROJECT IF THE LEGISLATURE
CONTINUES TO DETERMINE THAT THIS
PROJECT FOR ME TO HAVE PRIORITY.
COULD APPROVE THE SHIFT AND THAT
FINANCING WHICH WE ESTIMATE TO
BE ROUGHLY SIXTEEN POINT SEVEN
MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY.
HOWEVER YOU SEE HAS INDICATED
THAT IT IS UNCLEAR AT THIS TIME
IF ADDITIONAL STATE SUPPORT WILL
BE NEEDED IN EXCESS OF THE TWO
HUNDRED FORTY NINE MILLION IN
STATE CONTRIBUTION THAT HAD
ALREADY BEEN PROGRAMMED TO
COMPLETE THE PROJECT.
FURTHERMORE THE STATE OF THE
CAMPUSES NONSTATE CONTRIBUTION
TOWARD THE PROJECT REMAINS
UNSPECIFIED. LEAVING SOME
QUESTIONS UNANSWERED AS TO HOW
THE- PROJECT SCOPE COMPLETE COST
WILL BE FINANCED. K. REGARDING
THE RIVERSIDE CAMPUS EXPANSION
PROJECT. THE ONE HUNDRED FIFTY
FOUR POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLAR
PROJECT HAS ALSO SHIFTED FROM
GENERAL FUND UNIVERSITY BOND
FUNDED BY THE STATE PAYING THE
ASSOCIATED THAT SERVICE. WHICH
WOULD BE ROUGHLY TEN POINT THREE
MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY. WE
RECOMMEND APPROVING THIS PROJECT
AS IT IS IN LINE WITH OUR
RECOMMENDATION MADE EARLIER THIS
YEAR. OBJECT WAS LISTED AS
RIVERSIDE'S TOP CAPITAL PRIORITY
IN THE UC TWENTY TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN CAPITAL
FINANCING PLAN. ADDITIONALLY YOU
SEE OURS RECENTLY EXPERIENCED
SUBSTANTIAL HEAD COUNT ROMAN
GROWTH. GROWING BY OVER FIFTY
SIX HUNDRED STUDENTS TO ROUGHLY
27% OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS.
ADDITIONALLY FACILITY
UTILIZATION REPORTS INDICATE
THAT YOU SEE ARE IS. USING
EXISTING CLASSROOM SPACE IN
EXCESS OF 1100% OF LEGISLATIVE
STANDARDS. AND LAB SPACE IN
EXCESS OF 110025% OF LEGISLATIVE
STANDARDS WHICH THIS PROJECT
WILL HELP TO MITIGATE. REGARDING
THE MERCED CAMPUS EXPANSION
PROJECT. THE MAY REVISION ALSO
SHIFTS THIS PROJECT FROM NINETY
FOUR POINT FIVE MILLION IN
GENERAL FUND. I TO UNIVERSITY
BOND FUNDED BY THE STATE PAYING
THE ASSOCIATED THAT SERVICE
WHICH WOULD BE ROUGHLY SIX POINT
THREE MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY.
REGARDLESS OF FUNDING APPROACH
WE RECOMMEND REJECTING THE
PROJECT AT THIS TIME. THE
PROJECT IS NOT SERVE AN
IMMEDIATE CAMPUS OR STATE NEED
AND IT IS STILL IN ITS EARLY
PLANNING PHASES. RESET IS
INDICATED THAT IT WILL LIKELY
NOT NEED ADDITIONAL ACADEMIC
FACILITY SPACE UNTIL ITS
ENROLLMENT REACHES TWELVE
THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED STUDENTS.
IF IT'S AN ROAMING WERE TO
CONTINUE TO GROW OVER THE NEXT
FIVE YEARS AS IT HAS OVER THE
PREVIOUS FIVE IT'S IN ROME IT
WOULD ONLY TOTAL ROUGHLY TEN
THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED STUDENTS
BY THE TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN
TWENTY TWENTY EIGHT ACADEMIC
YEAR. WHICH JUST FURTHER
ILLUSTRATES THAT THIS IS NOT AN
IMMEDIATE- CAMPUS NEED. MOVING
FROM THE CAPITAL OUTLAY PROJECTS
THE MAY REVISE ALSO SHIFT
FUNDING FROM THE BASE
AUGMENTATION TOWARD THE A IN OUR
PROGRAM. SUCH THAT THE AN R.
PROGRAMMER SEES AN INCREASE THAT
IS EQUAL TO THAT OF THE SYSTEM
ON A PERCENTAGE BASIS. YOU DON'T
HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS WITH THE
SHIFT BUT YOU WANT TO HIGHLIGHT
THAT THE SHIFT WOULD COME AT THE
EXPENSE OF OTHER ITEMS. WHICH
YOU SEE COULD HAVE USED THIS
FUNDING FOR INCLUDING SALARY
INCREASES- ANY COSTS OR OTHER
BENEFIT COST. THE NAME A FEW.
WITH RESPECT TO THE NEW ONE TIME
INITIATIVES AS YOU HEARD
EARLIER. THEY'RE GONNA BE TWO
NEW ONE TIME INITIATIVES FOR YOU
SEE WHICH WE RECOMMEND REJECTING
WITHOUT PREJUDICE. DUE TO THE
ANTICIPATED REVENUE WEAKNESS IS
FACING THE STATE. WE RECOMMEND
AGAINST ANY NEW SPENDING UNLESS
THOSE PROPOSALS ADDRESS
IMMEDIATE HEALTH OR SAFETY RISKS
WHICH THESE PROPOSALS DO NOT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I'M
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU. ARE ON A MAKER. A
COMMON IN A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS
AND THEN GO TO MY- COLLEAGUES.
IN ON THE- AGRICULTURE NATURAL
RESOURCES SO I JUST WANT TO
THANK. THE ADMINISTRATION FOR
PUTTING OUR COST OF LIVING
INCREASE IN HERE SO IT DOESN'T
FALL BEHIND. I UNDERSTAND WHAT
THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S JUST
SAID ABOUT. ABOUT HOW IT
COMPETES AGAINST OTHER THINGS
BUT- THE REASON WE- WE AUGMENTED
IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE THIS THERE
BEEN NO INFLATIONARY INCREASES
FOR TWENTY YEARS IN THE PROGRAM
AND SORT OF BEEN CUT IT AND WE
DIDN'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN AGAIN
SO I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT.
THAT IS HERE AND- UNDERSTAND THE
NUANCE I CAN'T BE A BIGGER SO.
IT'S EXACTLY THE PERCENT
INCREASE IN THE UC BUDGET IT'S
80% OF WHAT. WHAT THE TOTAL
BUDGET IS A COLA SO I'M JUST
HAPPY THERE'S AN INCREASE THERE
SIR SO THANK YOU. AND THEN I
KNOW THAT. A SENATOR SMALLWOOD
CUEVAS WANTED TO ASK ABOUT UCLA
BUT LET ME. TEACH. AT FIRST BY
JUST ASKING. HE IS THE-
INSTITUTE FOR IMMUNOLOGY AND
IMMUNOTHERAPY UCLA PART OF THE
BOND SOLUTION OR SIT LEFT AS- A
CASH- THANK IN THIS BUDGET.
CANALETTO THE PERMIT OF FINANCE
AT THE PROPOSAL IS STILL- IN
CASH AS PROPOSED IN THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. THE FUNDING
IS JUST BEING- PUSHUPS PROPOSING
GOVERNESS BUDGETS. PUSHED ONE-
SO ORIGINALLY- FOR GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET WE PROPOSED A HUNDRED
MILLION TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE.
HUNDRED MILLION TWENTY THREE
TWENTY FOUR AND THREE HUNDRED
MILLION ON TWENTY FOUR TWENTY
FIVE. THE NUMBER YOU'RE PUSHING
IT FROM ONE YEAR INTO THOSE
THREE YEARS THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN
RIGHT CORRECT YEAH OKAY GREAT.
MAYBE TO CLARIFY LIVERMORE-
ORANGE ONLY THE BUDGET- THE
TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE BUDGET
ACT. IT INCLUDED TWO HUNDRED
MILLION IN TWENTY TWO TWENTY
THREE TWO HUNDRED MILLION TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR AND A HUNDRED
MILLION TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE.
WHAT WE PROPOSED A GOVERNESS
BUDGET WAS TO KEEP ONE HUNDRED
IN TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE ONE
HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE TWENTY
FOUR AND THREE HUNDRED MILLION
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE SO IT'S
STILL. CASH BUT IT'S SPREAD OUT
OVER THREE YEARS THAT'S THE DEAL
CORRECT OKAY. I'M MORE ARE I
DON'T WANNA. JUMP ON CENTER
SMALLWOOD CUEVAS BUT HOW DOES
THAT WORK FOR THE ACTUAL
DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROGRAM. DOES
THAT MATCH. THIS I MEAN WHEN IT
WAS WARM ALL THE MONEY IN ONE
YEAR. WERE THEY JUST GOING TO
COMPLETELY DO IT ALL AT ONCE AND
NOW THEY HAVE TO FACE IT HOW
DOES THAT AFFECT THE ACTUAL.
PROGRAM I THINK THAT SOME. WE
WERE HAVING HERE- AT THE LAY ON
THE PROJECT AS OF THIS MOMENT
BUT I'LL LET YOU SEE- PRICE
SPECIFICS OKAY. WELL YOUR CANON
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA THANK
YOU- CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE OF THE PROJECT WILL GO
OUT TO BID IS THAT MICRON- I'M
SORRY NO GEORGE MIGHT BE IT
MIGHT BE A I'M JUST LOOKING TO
MAKE SURE YOU CAN BE HEARD BUT
I'M NOT. HEARING YOU ON THE MARK
. IS THIS BETTER. OKAY OF SAY
OVER TEN IN THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA THANK YOU TURN
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE- THE
UCLA- CALIFORNIA. A CENTER FOR
IMMUNOLOGY AND IMMUNOTHERAPY
WILL GO OUT TO BID AS A- DESIGN
BUILD PROJECT IN LATE SUMMER- IF
WEEKEND RECEIVED THE FUNDS UP AS
PROPOSED BY THE GOVERNOR'S.
JANUARY TEN BUDGET. THEN WHEN WE
MOVE TO ANOTHER SUBJECT AND THAT
THE TWO MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE
UC GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURS AND- IS
THERE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ON THIS SIR TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE IS THERE SOMETHING THAT
EXPLAINS WHAT THIS REALLY IS.
WHAT WE'RE NOT CONTEMPLATING
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE AT THE
MOMENT. BUT THE PROPOSAL AIMS TO
ASSIST OUR FOURTEEN BORN YOU SEE
ASSOCIATED INDIVIDUALS. AT THIS
COULD BE STUDENTS OR COULD ALSO
BE PROFESSORS. AND THAT ARE
TRYING TO- THE PROGRAM WAS
SYSTEM WITH IMMIGRATION STATUS
AND WILL ASSIST STATE
INDIVIDUALS TO START A JOB OR-
CREATE OUT AND APPLY FOR A
LICENSE AND THE MAIN GOAL IS TO
FOSTER THE GLOBAL. I'M CALLING
FOR INNOVATION IN AREAS CITY
TECHNOLOGY SHE ATE THE GOAL AND
I APPRECIATE THE HIGH LEVEL
EXPLANATION I'M TRYING TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS REALLY IS
DOES THAT MEAN THAT. MONEY IS
DISPERSED BAR YOU SEE FOR SOME
OF THE THINGS YOU JUST LISTED
HOW WOULD THIS ACTUALLY BE
IMPLEMENTED WE'RE STILL WORKING
ON THE FINAL DETAILS. OUT THE
MAIN GOAL WILL BE SO THAT THE
UNIVERSITY CAN PROVIDE THIS
ASSISTANCE- MOST OF THE TIMES
THESE INDIVIDUALS DO NOT QUALIFY
FOR FEDERAL GRANTS FIFTY ONE
INSTEAD OF BUSINESS THEY DON'T
QUALIFY FOR A SMALL BUSINESS
LOAN. READ THE ONE THAT- APPLY
FOR THEIR PROFESSIONAL LICENSE-
THEY DON'T QUALIFY FOR FEDERAL
FUNDS AND THIS WILL COME IN
PLACE TO ASSIST THEM. I THINK
SAID THE- I WE MOVE TOWARD A-
AND FINALIZING THE BUDGET WE
WANT MORE DETAILS TO BE ABLE TO
CONSIDER THIS I DON'T FEEL LIKE
THAT'S TOTALLY THERE YET. AND
FROM. AND THEN ONE LAST REALLY
LAST QUESTION WE HAD THE
DISCUSSION ON HOUSING ABOUT BOND
CAPACITY I ASSUME THE SAME THING
SUPPLY TO THIS THAT THIS IS ALL
. OUR OUR WITHIN UC'S ABILITY
AND IT'S NOT. THE AND IF YOU GET
NEAR THE CAP FOR OTHER PROJECTS
IN ANOTHER POINT OF TO LOOK AT
THIS FITTING INTO THE BOND CAP
IS THAT. SEARCH THE UNIVERSITY
OF CALIFORNIA CURRENTLY HAS
ENOUGH ROOM UNDER OUR 15% BOND
CAP TO ABSORB BOTH THE STUDENT
HOUSING PROJECTS ANTI CLASSROOM
EXPANSION PROJECTS AT MERCED
RIVERSIDE. AND THE BERKELEY
CLEAN ENERGY CAMPUS PROJECTS
HOWEVER THAT LEAVES ABOUT THREE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS OF ROOM
FOR OTHER PROJECTS INCLUDING OUR
SEISMIC NEEDS DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE. OTHER CLASSROOM
PROJECTS AT DIFFERENT CAMPUSES-
WE- WE ARE READY TO ABSORB THESE
PROJECTS WE WILL IMPLEMENT THE
GOVERNOR'S- MAY REVISIONIST
PROPOSED OUT IF THE LEGISLATURE
WISHES THAT- I DO WANT TO KNOW
TWO THINGS OUR FIRST WE
CURRENTLY HAVE. AN INTEREST RATE
OF FOUR POINT 25% ON ARE YOU SEE
INSTITUTIONAL BONDS. INTEREST
RATES HAVE BEEN FLUCTUATING AND
THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT THAT
INTEREST RATES MAY CHANGE
BETWEEN NOW AND- WHEN WE
ACTUALLY SOLD THE BONDS AND IF
THAT'S THE CASE WE'D LIKE TO
HAVE A- CONVERSATION ABOUT A
POTENTIAL TECHNICAL ADJUSTMENT
ON THE TOTAL. DEBT SERVICE- THE
OTHER ARE CONCERNED AND I WANT
TO NOTE FOR THE RECORD IS THAT
WE ARE CAPPED AT 15% FOR DEBT
SERVICE- THAT IS OF OUR TOTAL
STATE GENERAL FUND
APPROPRIATION. IF THE
LEGISLATURE WERE PUT IN A
POSITION TO HAVE TO CUT THE
UNIVERSITY- FUTURE YEAR- WE WILL
HAVE TO CONTINUE TO PAY THAT
DEBT SERVICE AND- YOU KNOW A
LARGE CUT TO THE UNIVERSITY
MIGHT PUT US OVER THE 15% CAP.
OKAY THANKS VERY MUCH LET'S MOVE
ON TO QUESTIONS OF MEMBERS OF
SENATOR SMALLWOOD QUESTIONS I
JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ON THE
UC GLOBAL CENTER QUESTION IN
JUST ONE- EMPHASIZE THAT BECAUSE
AS WE'RE TRYING TO REALLY.
ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF NON
RESIDENT STUDENTS I'M CONCERNED
THAT WE'RE INVESTING IN BRINGING
MORE- I MEAN IN RESIDENTS TO
THAT WHERE WE'RE INVESTING IN
BRINGING MORE NONRESIDENT
STUDENTS AND SUPPORTING SO I
JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR
GOAL OF REALLY ADDRESSING.
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS. AND
SUPPORTING THOSE TO INSAS PRIORE
. AND I'M I'M CONFUSED HOW- THIS
GLOBAL CENTER YOU KNOW IS
HELPING US ACHIEVE THAT GOAL FOR
RESIDENT STUDENTS MY OTHER
QUESTION AND I THINK I HEARD.
FINANCE DEPARTMENT SAY THIS AND
I WANT TO JUST BE CLEAR IS THIS
ALSO TO SUPPORT- DREAM STUDENTS-
WHO MAY QUALIFY FOR THESE
RESOURCES- I JUST WANNA MAKE
SURE THAT THEY ARE INCLUDED. IN
THIS TARGET- WHEN I CLARIFY
THAT. DEMONSTRATION IS COMMITTED
TO SUPPORT CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
PART OF THE BUDGET INVESTMENTS
THAT WE ARE PROVIDING IS TO
REDUCE. THE NUMBER OF OUT OF
STATE- STUDENTS IN THE DREAM-
CAMPUS AT UC BERKELEY UCLA AND
UC SAN DIEGO. AT THIS PROGRAM IS
JUST TRYING TO TAKE AN ADVANTAGE
ALL THE STUDENTS WHO ARE ALREADY
HERE. THE NATIONAL STUDENTS IT
COULD ALSO BE STUDENTS WHO MAY
BE AB FIVE FORTY WHO DO NOT
QUALIFY. FOR A FEDERAL GRANT.
THIS IS STILL BEING DEVELOPED
IT'S A HIGH LEVEL- BUT THE KEY
IS THE SAME THE BILLS HAVE.
GREAT TALENT IT'S AND WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT AREAS NEED
TECHNOLOGY AND WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO
MAINTAIN THAT TALENT IN THE
STATE'S IT COULD EITHER BE A
CHOPPY COULD ALSO BE A PROFESSOR
TO. OUR WHO ONCE STARTED
BUSINESS OR TO APPLY FOR A
LICENSE. HI YOU SPENDING DO
APPLY TO EXISTING STUDENTS WHO
DON'T QUALIFY CORRECT THEY'LL
HAVE TO BE- WHICH TO WORKING ON
THE DETAILS BUT IT WILL BE A UC
ASSOCIATED INDIVIDUALS SO YOU
SEE STUDENT IN UC FACULTY.
THANKS THANKS FOR CLARIFYING
THAT- I'M SORRY DID YOU WANT TO
ACT WITH EM SO FROM THE LEGEND
LOST AGAIN YOU PROBABLY KNOW
THIS BUT THE STATE DOES HAVE
BOTH GRANT AND LOAN PROGRAMS FOR
DREAMERS WHO CAN'T ACCESS THOSE
FUNDS. BE ON THE STATE. SO THOSE
ARE THE BROAD PROGRAMS DESIGNED
FOR DREAMERS I DON'T KNOW IF
THIS ONE TIME PROGRAM IS REALLY
DESIGNED FOR THAT PURPOSE. AND
THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO CLARIFY-
IF IT IN AGAIN GOING BACK TO OUR
GOAL OF TRYING TO REALLY
SUPPORT- CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
AND- IN UNCERTAINLY DREAM
STUDENTS- THAT IF WE ARE
CREATING THIS PROGRAM. TO
SUPPORT- FOLKS WHO MAY NOT
QUALIFY I THINK I WOULD WANT TO
SEE MORE INVESTMENT IN THOSE
EXISTING PROGRAMS FOR- FOR DREAM
STUDENTS WHO WHO- WE ARE REALLY
TRYING TO GET THROUGH THE UC
PROCESS THROUGH TO GRADUATION.
AND INTO THE WORK FORCE- THIS IS
SO BROADLY WRITTEN IT FEELS AS
IF IT'S GOING AGAINST OUR
OVERALL MISSION AND GOAL. TO
REALLY INCREASE THE NUMBERS OF
RESIDENTS STUDENTS AND THOSE
STUDENTS WHO ARE CURRENTLY- ON
OUR CAMPUSES WHO MAY NEED
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AND I'M
SAYING SPECIFICALLY DREAM
STUDENTS SO THAT CLARIFICATION
WOULD BE. HELPFUL IN TERMS OF
THE- IN TERMS OF THE- THE
CAPITAL PROJECTS I'VE SAID THIS
IN SO MANY OF THE HEARINGS
ESPECIALLY AS WE'RE LOOKING AT.
THERE BEING- ADDITIONAL DEBT
BURDEN- AS A RESULT OF THIS WEEK
I THINK THE LEGISLATURE AND
CERTAINLY. THE SENATE HAS BEEN A
REAL ADVOCATE FOR THOSE PROJECTS
THAT ARE GOING TO BE SHOVEL
READY THAT ARE GOING TO HELP
ADDRESS OUR HOUSING NEEDS AND
EXPAND OUR CAMPUSES. WE WANT TO
SEE YOU SEE REALLY FACTOR IN A
MULTIPLIER HERE IN THESE VERY
PRECIOUS RESOURCES IN TERMS OF
HOW WE IMPLEMENT THIS WORK- IN
INCLUDE THAT IN. IN YOUR
PLANNING IN TERMS OF THE WAYS IN
WHICH WE INVITE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE
BUILDING MAYBE THROUGH TARGET
LOCAL HIGHER PROGRAMS THROUGH-
SKILLING TRAIN INITIATIVES AGAIN
HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT THESE
PRICES INVESTMENTS AND AS WE SAY
THAT ARE. GOING TO- HELP US MAKE
SOME HARD DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT
WE'RE ABLE TO FIND IN THIS. IN
THIS ROUND OF THE BUDGET THAT WE
ARE INVITING OUR SURROUNDING
HARDEST HIT COMMUNITIES TO
PARTICIPATE IN THOSE
OPPORTUNITIES BY CREATING GOOD
CONSTRUCTION- JOBS- THAT OUR
HARDEST HIT COMMUNITIES CAN GET
ACCESS TO SO AS WE'RE GOING
THROUGH THIS THIS PROCESS I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR. FOR
THESE PROPOSALS TO PRESENT A
MULTIPLIER EFFECT ACROSS OUR
COMMUNITIES AND I JUST WANT.
THAT TO BE ADDED TO OUR
CONVERSATION AS WE GO THROUGH
THE NEXT PHASE OF THE
NEGOTIATIONS. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH I APPRECIATE THOSE COMMENTS
OF FURTHER QUESTIONS FROM
MEMBERS. ON THIS ISSUE. SENATOR-
TROUBLE. THANK YOU M. GOOD
MORNING SO I WANT TO REITERATE
THE QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS- WITH
THE UC GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURS AS
WELL AND FOCUSING ON THE MISSION
OF THE UC SYSTEM WHICH IS TO
EDUCATE CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS IS
A PRIORITY. AND WANTED TO MAKE
SURE THERE ARE DREAMERS DO YOU
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE AN
AND I AM KEENLY AWARE ABOUT THE
PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE.
CURRENTLY- I KNOW SENATOR- IS
ALWAYS JUST HAD A BILL THAT
WOULD ALLOW THE GRANT PROGRAMS
OR THE LOAN PROGRAMS FOR
DREAMERS TO. ALLOCATE THAT THE
AB UNUSED PORTIONS OF THOSE
GRANTS TO BE- I'M SORRY UNUSED.
LOAN PROGRAMS TO BE USED AS
GRANT- BURKE PROGRAMS THAT ON
THAT AND I HAVE EXPRESSED SOME
CONCERNS ON ON THAT PARTICULAR
PROGRAM JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT
IT'S STILL AVAILABLE AS A LOAN
PROGRAM AND- AND FOLLOW UP WITH
IT WITH THE GRANT PROGRAM. AB
FOR THE UN REMAINED AT. PORTION
OF THE FUNDS- THE- SO MY
QUESTION HAS TO DO WITH THE UC
RIVERSIDE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE. M.
THE TWO MILLION DOLLARS INCREASE
SO AS YOU MAY NOTE THE M. THE
INLAND EMPIRE AS WELL THE THING
IS A WHOLE. SEPARATE FOR MY NEXT
YEAR SHORTAGE OF- HEALTHCARE
WORKERS INCLUDING DOCTORS. I'M
HOW DO WE COME UP WITH THE TWO
MILLION DOLLAR I GUESS THAT
WOULD BE THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE. THE TWO MILLION GENERAL
FUND INCREASES FOR THE UC.
RIVERSIDE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE-
AND NOT MORE. THANK THIS WAS
PART OF THE TWENTY TWENTY TO
BUDGET ACT. PART OF THOSE
NEGOTIATIONS LANDED ON THE TWO
MILLION OKAY. WAS IT EXPRESSED
BY THE BY THE WAY I DID NOTICE
THE COLOR COORDINATION ADDITIVE
WAS INTENDED OR NOT. BUT CHECKS
WILL DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE IT
WAS NOT. BUT WHICH IS VERY VERY.
WELL ORGANIZED IT WAS AS IF NOT
YOU KNOW GREEN DEPARTMENT OF
MINE IS JUST WORKS PERFECTLY. AS
A TEAM. OKAY LET'S MOVE ALONG.
M. AND THEN I HAD A QUESTION
ALSO WITH- I BELIEVE IT'S WITH
THE SPORT WHERE DOES THE
LEGISLATIVE STANDARDS THERE WAS
A COMMENT ABOUT LEGISLATIVE
STANDARDS. YES THAT HAS TO DO
WITH THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT
ARE USING A FACILITY AT A
PARTICULAR TIME- WE CAN PROVIDE
YOU MORE DETAIL ABOUT THAT. OKAY
PERFECT- I GUESS THAT'S IT FOR
ME AT THIS TIME THANK YOU OKAY
CENTERMAN. THANK YOU AND I'M
GLAD YOU'RE WEARING GREEN
BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH GREEN
IN THE STATE RIGHT NOW- BUT-
IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN OKAY.
AS KERMIT THE FROG ONCE SAID-
HEY SO I AT FIRST I JUST WANT
TO. SAY THAT I APPRECIATE THE
MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPOSED
SPACE INCREASE I THINK THAT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT IN THIS
ENVIRONMENT- DO UC'S AS WE KNOW
IT I DON'T REALLY AS HAS BEEN
EXPRESSED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES
DON'T REALLY HAVE IT. ELASTIC
DEMAND FOR ADMISSIONS RIGHT NOW
SO I'M I'M GLAD TO SEE THAT WILL
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THAT. MY
QUESTION IS KIND OF JUST A
GENERAL QUESTION WHICH IS- IT'S
HARD FOR ME TO JUDGE. THIS
PARTICULAR ITEM WITHOUT KNOWING
WHAT SOME OF THE OTHER OPTIONS
WERE- WHAT DID WE LEAVE ON THE
TABLE SO WE'VE SEEN SOME SHIFTS
IN SUPPORT WE SEE SOME
INCREASES. ABOUT WORKFORCE ON
THE OTHER CANDIDATES THAT- THAT
WE'RE CUTTING OR OR NOT
PROVIDING INCREASES TO THAT THAT
MIGHT HAVE. BEEN OF INTEREST TO
US IS LEGISLATORS. CHECK FOR
DEPARTMENT FINANCE- THE PHARMACY
FINANCE HIS PROPOSED PLAN- WE
GENERALLY DON'T COMMENT ON
THINGS THAT WE HAVE INCLUDED IN
THAT PLAN- WE WOULD. VIEW THE
STATE'S FISCAL SITUATION THE
PRIORITIES OF THE GOVERNOR. COME
UP WITH THIS PROPOSAL WE THINK
IT'S PRUDENT WE THINK IT'S
FISCALLY SOUND. AND THAT'S WITH
BRADHAM FOR YOU TODAY. ALL RIGHT
IT SAYS SO- MAYBE LAST YOU SEE
EVENT WHAT WERE THEIR OTHER
PROJECTS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO
SEE MONEY SHIFTED TOWARDS OR
INCREASED ON I GUESS THAT'S MY
QUESTION FOR YOU. I'M THE THANK
YOUS CENTER FOR THE QUESTION- DO
UNIVERSITIES PREFERENCE
OBVIOUSLY WOULD BE TO RECEIVED
THE CASH FROM THE- STATE OF.
BECAUSE THEN WE CAN PRESERVE OUR
DEBT SERVICE CAPACITY FOR OTHER
PROJECTS. WE DID HAVE A LIST OF
PROJECTS ABOUT ONE POINT TWO
BILLION. THAT THE REGION'S
APPROVED LAST NOVEMBER THAT WE
FIRST PUT FORWARD BUT AS THE
STATE'S FISCAL PICTURE DECLINED
WE WITH WE WITHDREW THE REQUEST
BECAUSE- OF IT JUST WASN'T-
FEASIBLE. DURING THE TIME OF
DECLINING REVENUES. THAT LIST
INCLUDED PRIMARILY- LARGE SCALE
ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROJECTS FOR
OUR CAMPUSES. INCLUDED SOME NEW
CLASSROOM PROJECTS AS WELL- AND
RESEARCH SPACE. I APPRECIATE
THAT AND IS THAT SOMETHING YOU
COULD SHARE WITH US LATER. YES I
WILL SHARED WITH THANK YOU AND
LOOK I APPRECIATE BERMAN
FINANCES COMMENTS THIS IS THE
BUDGET AND I KNOW YOU'RE HARD AT
WORK BUT IT'S ALSO KIND OF HARD
TO JUDGE IN A VACUUM WE'RE
LOOKING AT. LIKE SEVEN ITEMS
HERE WITHOUT KNOWING YOU KNOW
THIS IS OBVIOUSLY TAKEN FROM A
LARGE LAUNDRY LIST OF DIFFERENT
PRIORITIES AND PROJECTS SO. I
JUST WONDERING WHY THESE WERE
THE WINNERS AND WHO THE LOSERS
WERE AND IT'S ZERO SUM GAME
RIGHT NOW OBVIOUSLY. BUT THANK
YOU. THANK YOU ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS ON THE SIDE. BEFORE WE
LEAVE IT THEN LET ME DO ONE
FINAL ONE TOWARD YOU SEE AND
THAT IS IN OUR LAST. HEARING WE
HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE FACT
THAT. FOR THE 5% COMPACT CSU.
SENT US A LIST OF WHAT THEY
WOULD SPEND THE 5% ON AND WE DID
NOT HAVE A SIMILAR ONE FOR YOU
SEE IS THAT SOMETHING. YOU
INTEND TO DO OR SAID SOMETHING
YOU CAN DO. CENTER WE DO HAVE A
LIST OF ITEMS THAT WE WOULD
SPEND- ARE 5% ON SO THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA REGIONS
PASS A BUDGET- THEY- HAD A
BUDGET PLAN LAST NOVEMBER. THAT
INCLUDED BOTH THE STATE GENERAL
FUND AND TUITION EXPENDITURES.
MOST OF THOSE EXPENDITURES ARE
FOR SALARIES AND WAGES. THEY
INCLUDE THINGS LIKE OUR FACULTY
MERITS INCREASING THE FACULTY
SALARY SCALES PROVIDE- LET ME
JUST INTERRUPT FOR SECOND SO
BASICALLY. DON'T JUST INCLUDE-
APPROVED AN ENTIRE BUDGET AND
THE 5% AS PLUGGED IN AS PART OF
THE REVENUE IT DOES DISCREETLY
SAY WHAT IT'S GOING TO ACTUALLY
GO FOR THAT'S CORRECT THE WAY
WE- WOULD THEN DISTRIBUTE THE 5%
IF WE RECEIVE THAT FROM THE
LEGISLATURE. IS WE FIRST PACER
END UP EXPENDITURES WE CONSIDER
STATUS SITES THESE INCLUDE OUR
BOND DEBT FINANCING RETIREMENT
CONTRIBUTIONS AND CERTAIN
PROGRAMS THAT SERVE ALL CAMPUSES
LIKE SAY POP. AND THE
AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION STATIONS
ARE SORE FUNDED OFF THAT SORT OF
LIKE WHAT YOU PAY IN ORDER IT'S
NOT EXPLICITLY TIED TO THE 5%
DISCOUNT THAT'S CORRECT AND THEN
THE REMAINDER OF THE 5% IS
CENTRAL TO CAMPUS BASED ON
STUDENT ENROLLMENT. SO THAT WE
CAN ENSURE THAT ALL THE CAMPUSES
RECEIVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY
PER STUDENT- IN ORDER TO CREATE
SOME EQUITY CONTRACT OF
MARKETING IT SO THERE'S NOT A
LIST OF WHERE THE 5% GO. THAT
SCORE OKAY WE HAVE OUR OWN
FUNERAL. PROVIDED TO US IT'S
SOMETHING WE WOULD BE INTERESTED
IN WE HAVE IT FROM CSU REALLY
CLEARLY AND WE HAVE AN ITEMIZED
LIST OF WHAT THEY WOULD DO. IF
THEY GOT MORE THAN 5% AND SORT
OF WHAT IS BEING SCREENED OUT
AND- AND WHILE THAT'S NOT
BINDING. IT'S HELPFUL. AND THE-
WHEN A LOT OF TESTIMONY AT THE
END OF THE UC HEARING ABOUT SORT
OF THE EXPENDITURES IN A JUSTICE
THING WE WOULD BE INTERESTED. IN
A NO NEED TO BELABOR BUT THANK
YOU. I'M SAYING NO OTHER
QUESTIONS FOR ME THANKS THE
PEOPLE THAT WERE HERE- FOR ISSUE

VARIOUS. GOVERNOR'S PROPOSALS

SERVICE FOR. NOW TOTALING NOW
ONE POINT ONE MILLION. WITHOUT A
HAPPY ANSWER ANY QUESTION. ABOUT
THE MAY REVISION FOR THE
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH
AND WILL MOVE TO A LEGISLATURE.
IF THE KING LET THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE. THERE'S SOME
OVERLAP BETWEEN THIS ISSUE AND
THE TWO YOU'VE PREVIOUSLY HEARD.
THE COMMENTS WE PROVIDE IN THE
PREVIOUS ISSUE ON THE BASE AND
CHRIS FOR YOU SEE ALSO GENERALLY
APPLY HERE AND WE'VE DISCUSSED
THE STUDENT HOUSING ITEM. AND
SAW JUST FOCUS MY COMMENTS IN
THE THREE REMAINING REVISION
PROPOSALS FOR CSU. ALL OF WHICH
ARE FOCUSED ON CAPITAL PROJECTS
. FIRST REGARDING THE PROPOSAL
TO SHIFT THE FINANCING FOR THE
KAPALI HUMBLE CAPITAL PROJECTS
FROM CASH TO DEBT FINANCING. WE
THINK THIS CAN BE A REASONABLE
FINANCING APPROACH FOR THE
REASONS WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED
THIS MORNING. BUT AS OF ALSO
DISCUSSED THIS MORNING IT WOULD
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE TOTAL
PROJECT COSTS. AND SO YOU COULD
AT THIS TIME CONSIDER WHAT IT IS
CAPITAL PROJECTS REMAIN AMONG
THE HIGHEST PRIORITIES. IF THE
MOVE FOR THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSALS THAT FINANCE THEM. IF
NOT YOU COULD CONSIDER SCALING
BACK STATE SUPPORTED TIME. THE
UNIVERSITY FARMS WE ACTUALLY
PROPOSAL THAT MOVES IN THE
OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS THIS IS
WITHDRAWING A JANUARY PROPOSAL.
THAT WOULD HAVE SHIFTED
FINANCING FOR THIS INITIATIVE
FROM CASH TO THAT FINANCING. AND
FOR CONTACTS THE REASON FOR THIS
IS THAT SOME OF THE EXPENDITURES
UNDER THIS INITIATIVE. FOR
EXAMPLE THE PURCHASE A FARM
VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT. WERE
DEEMED INAPPROPRIATE FOR BOND
FINANCING. GIVEN THESE TYPES OF
ASSETS DO YOU HAVE A RELATIVELY
SHORT USEFUL LIFE WE THINK THAT
IS A REASONABLE DETERMINATION.
NONETHELESS GIVEN THE STATE
BUDGET CONDITION HAS CHANGED
SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE THESE
PROJECTS WERE FIRST APPROVED
LAST YEAR YOU COULD STILL
REVISIT. WHETHER THEY REMAIN A
HIGH PRIORITY. FINALLY IS THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE NOTED
THERE IS ONE REMAINING CAPITAL
PROPOSAL WHICH WOULD FIVE THREE
POINT ONE MILLION ON GOING TO
THAT FINANCED THE CSU CHICO
HUMAN IDENTIFICATION LABORATORY
. THIS PROPOSAL IS DIFFERENT
FROM THE OTHERS IN THAT IT IS A
NEW PROPOSAL RATHER THAN
SOMETHING PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.
AS MY COLLEAGUES NOTED IN THE
PREVIOUS ITEMS OUR OVERARCHING
GUIDANCE THIS YEAR GIVEN THE
STATE BUDGET CONDITION. IS TO
REJECT ANY NEW PROPOSALS MUST
ADDRESS IMMEDIATE HEALTH AND
SAFETY CONCERNS. WE DON'T
BELIEVE THAT THIS PROPOSAL FOR
THE CHECK A CAMPUS MEETS THE
HIGH THRESHOLD AND SO WE WOULD
RECOMMEND REJECTING AT. THANK
YOU I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. LET ME
JUST- START. GOING BACK TO THE-
SEVENTY FIVE MILLION FOR.
AGRICULTURE UNIVERSITY FORMS. I
MAYBE I MISS READ IT I THOUGHT.
IT WAS IN A PREVIOUS VERSION
SWITCHED TO BONDS AND THIS WAS
MOVING IT. TO CASH. IS THAT
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE MAY
REVISION. THEY MAY REVISION
ESSENTIALLY JENNIFER LEE WITH
DEPARTMENT FINANCE AT THE MAY
REVISION ESSENTIAL WITHDRAWALS
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET PROPOSAL
WHICH INCLUDED A ORIGINALLY AS
TO DEBT SERVICING SO ESSENTIALLY
THE MAY REVISION BIRDS- IT'S
BACK TO THE TWENTY TWENTY TO
BUDGET ACT WHICH IS A FRONT
LOADING AS A ONE TIME
APPROPRIATION. BECAUSE CASH
CORRECT OKAY THEN THAT'S CLEAR.
IT AS SOMEBODY THAT WAS A STRONG
PROPONENT FOR THAT THAT'S GREAT-
AND THEN I WAS GOING TO ASK AND
JUST. WHAT WE'VE WHAT WHEN I
READ THE AGENDA ABOUT THE COST
OF DEBT SERVICE BUT WE HAD THAT
DISCUSSION THE FIRST TWO ITEMS
OF THE CAL POLY TWO HUNDRED ONE
MILLION- GENERATES DEBT SERVICE
AND WE HAD THAT DISCUSSION SO
LET ME ASK MY COLLEAGUES IF
THERE ARE RA. QUESTIONS THE
CENTRO TROUBLED. SO. YOUR
COMMENTS WITH REGARDS TO WHEN TO
USE BOND FUNDS. VERSUS- CASH WAS
VERY INTRIGUING. FOR FINANCIAL
LITERACY PURPOSES- REMEMBERS
WHAT PROJECTS ARE IN EUROPEAN
HAVE AN IDEA BUT I JUST WANNA
MAKE SURE THERE WERE. ON THE
SAME. OUR PROCESS WHAT PROJECTS
WOULD YOU SAY BEST QUALIFIED FOR
BOND PROJECTS VERSUS. CASH. I'M
HAPPY TO GET US STARTED THAT THE
DISCRIMINATION THIS CASE WAS I
BELIEVE INFORMED BY CSU'S
RECOMMENDATION FOR THEIR
UNIVERSITY FUNDS PROGRAMS
EXPECTATION IS THAT THAT
PROJECTS WOULD HAVE A USEFUL
LIFE OF A CERTAIN LENGTH MAYBE
TWENTY OR THIRTY YEARS.
COMMENSURATE WITH THE REPAYMENT
PERIOD FOR THOSE BONDS BECAUSE
SOME OF THESE PROJECTS WOULD
HAVE A SHORTER USEFUL LIFE FOR
EXAMPLE A FARM VEHICLE IT WAS
DETERMINED BY CSU THAT IT
WOULDN'T BE APPROPRIATE TO BE
REPAYING THAT OVER THE COURSE OF
STATE THIRTY. SO IS THEM.
INTERVIEWED USE CASH FOR THAT
PURPOSE. THE COMPLETE YOUR
QUESTIONS SAN ROMAN. OKAY THEN-
DON'T TAKE A QUICK THIS WAS FOR
A LACK OF CONCERN ABOUT THIS
ENTIRE BUDGET SO- THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT-
WE'RE GOING TO GO TO COMMUNITY
COLLEGES ISSUE FOR. AND WE HAVE
MADISON SHEFFIELD FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND
POSTING HASN'T FROM THE
LEGISLATIVE. AND WE HAVE OTHER
PEOPLE AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS
OR- YES SO WELCOME.

ADMINISTRATION REMAINS COMMITTED
TO THE SECOND YEAR OF THE MULTI
YEAR ROADMAP AND THE MAYOR
VISION CONTINUES TO FULLY
SUPPORT COMMITTEE COLLEGE
APPORTIONMENT. DESPITE THE
NECESSITY TO MAKE REDUCTIONS IN
SOME AREAS. I'LL WALK THROUGH
SOME OF THE NOTABLE CHANGES
INCLUDING THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
STARTED GOVERNOR'S ME REVISION
AND YOUR AGENDA OBVIOUSLY IT
GIVES A LOT OF DETAIL THERE AS
WELL. PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
THE MAYOR VISION PROPOSES TWELVE
POINT THREE BILLION AND LOCAL
ASSISTANCE FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AND- EDUCATION IN
TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR. THIS
IS A DECREASE OF APPROXIMATELY
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION FROM
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. WE'RE
PROJECTING TOTAL COMPUTATIONAL
REVENUE FOR THE STUDENT CENTERED
FUNDING FORMULA OF ABOUT NINE
POINT FOUR BILLION IN TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR AND THIS IS
ACTUALLY AN INCREASE. A THREE

CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS THAT WE

BUDGET INCLUDING ADULT EDUCATION
. AS A RESULT OF THE DECREASE IN
THE PROJECTED OVERALL GENERAL
FUND REVENUE THE TOP MONEY
GUARANTEED DECLINE COMPARED TO
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET BY
APPROXIMATELY TWO MILLION THREE
TWO BILLION. THE B. THE MAYOR
VISION PROPOSES TO FULLY FUND
APPORTIONMENT OF THE NEW COLA
DESPITE A NECESSITY MAKERS OVER
ADDICTION COMMITTEE COLLEGES
BUDGET. THIS IS DONE PRIMARILY
BY SHIFTING ONE TIME RESOURCES
TO SUPPORT APPORTIONMENT IN
TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR AND OUT
YEARS WOULD BE CONSIDERED DURING
THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE WE HAVE A
BETTER PICTURE OF THE REVENUE.
THE FIVE HUNDRED THREE MILLION.
TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE REDUCTION
TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE NEW CALL
OF EIGHT POINT TWO TWO PERCENT.
THE WORKLOAD ADJUSTMENTS WE MUST
MAKE EVERY BUDGET AND THE NEW
REVENUE OUTLOOK FOR THE
APPORTIONMENT. AND THIS
REDUCTION TO MAKE MANY COLLEGES
PORTION MEN'S. IS BACK FILLED
PRIMARILY WITH. ONE HUNDRED
FORTY EIGHT MILLION IN PRIOR
YEARS APPORTIONMENT SAVINGS. A
THREE IN A FORTY FIVE MILLION
REDUCTION TO THE COURT COVERT
NINETEEN RECOVERY RACLETTE BLOCK
GRANT HER TIME WITH EVERY TIME.
AND REDUCTION TO DEFERRED
MINUTES ALLOCATION AND THE
DETAILS OF THE MORE FOR NUMBERS
ON THAT ALSO HERE GENDA. WE ALSO
AS PER THE SOLUTIONS PACKAGE WE
ALSO HAVE- RIDDICK REDUCTION OF
TWO HUNDRED. OF ONE HUNDRED
MILLION TO PROMENADE GENERAL
FUND TO THE- STUDENT- WRITTEN
MOMENT RETENTION PROPOSAL
INCLUDED GOVERNOR'S BUDGET OF
TWO HUNDRED MILLION. REDUCING
THAT FROM TWO HUNDRED TO ONE
HUNDRED MILLION AMERICANS AND-
AND WE ALSO HAVE A DECREASE OF
FIFTY MILLION ONE TIME. PROT
MANY GENERAL FUND TO REFLECT
REVISED ESTIMATES FOR THE
STUDENT SUCCESS COMPLETION GRANT
PROGRAM WHICH BRINGS THE
CUMULATIVE TWENTY THREE TWENTY
FOUR TOTAL FOR THIS PROGRAM. TWO
THREE HUNDRED SIXTY TWO POINT
SIX MILLION NINETY GENERAL FUND
. YOU ALSO SEE AN INCLUDED
INCREASE OF TEN MILLION ONE TIME
PROP NINETY GENERAL FUND PER
YEAR FOR THREE YEARS TO SUPPORT
THE LGBTQ PILOT PROJECT. THIS IS
BUILDING UPON THE TWENTY TWENTY
ONE AND BUDGET ACTON VESTMENT OF
TEN MILLION ONE TIME- AND THE
PROPOSAL WILL BE RUN THE SAME
WAY THAT THE TWENTY TWENTY ONE
PROJECT INVESTMENT WAS. WHICH IS
. TO CORRECT AN ERROR WE HAVE AN
EIGHT PAGES OF THOSE THAT ONLY
GO TO LA COMMITTEE COLLEGE
DISTRICT THIS WOULD ACTUALLY BE
RIGHT AT THE GRANT PROGRAM FROM
THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE THERE'S
NOTING THAT. WE ALSO HAVE AN
INCREASE OF TWO POINT FIVE
MILLION ONE TIME. PROT NINETY
GENERAL FUND FOR THE SMALL
BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND
INNOVATION CENTER AT EAST LOS
ANGELES COLLEGE. THE MARRIAGE
AND ALSO PROPOSES STATUTORY
CHANGES TO. ALLOW COMMITTEE
COLLEGE DISTRICTS TO SPEND
FLEXIBLY AMONG THE FOLLOWING
SPECIFIED CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS
BEGINNING IN TWENTY THREE TWENTY
FOUR. THOSE PROGRAMS INCLUDE
STUDENT ACTUALLY AND SHE MEANT
PROGRAM. STUDENT FINANCIAL AID
ADMINISTRATION STUDENT MENTAL
HEALTH RESOURCES. THE PROPOSED A
TRADE CHANGES WOULD STIPULATE
AFTER FIVE YEARS THE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE WITH
ASSISTANCE WITH LITTLE PROGRESS.
IN MEETING FIVE OF THE ROAD FOR
BIRD MICHAEL'S AS SLATED BY THE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE. AND THEN
DISTRICTS NOT MAKING SUFFICIENT
PROGRESS TOWARD THE REMOTE GOALS
ALSO DEFINED BY THE ROAD CHANCES
OFFICE. WOULD HAVE THERE'S
FLEXIBLE SPENDING AUTHORITY
REVOKED AND BE OFFERED TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE. THE LANGUAGE ALSO
PROVIDES THE CHANCES OF US
THIRTY TO ALIGN REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS. IN ADDITION THE
MAYOR VISION PROPOSED STATUTORY
CHANGES TO CLARIFY ELIGIBLE
USES. OF FUNDING FOR THE STRONG
WORK FORCE PROGRAM AND THIS IS
WE BELIEVE THESE FUNDING- USES
ARE CURRENTLY ALLOWED. TO
CLARIFY IT FOR DISTRICTS SO THEY
CAN FEEL SUPPORTED IN THOSE
ACTIVITIES. THIS CONCLUDES MY
OVERVIEW OF THE NOTABLE
PROPOSALS FOR THE COMMITTEE
BECAUSE SYSTEM HAVE TO TAKE ANY
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE
LEGISLATIVE PANELS. THANK YOU
GOOD MORNING PAUL STEEN HOUSE
AND WITH THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE. AS YOU'LL HEAR
IN MORE DETAIL LATER IN PART B.
OF THE AGENDA AND PROPOSITION
NINETY EIGHT. THE ESTIMATE THE
MAY REVISE HIS ESTIMATE OF THE
OF THE PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
MINIMUM GUARANTEE. WHICH IS THE
MAIN FUNDING SOURCE FOR OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND K. TWELVE
SCHOOLS. IS DOWN ABOUT TWO
BILLION DOLLARS FROM THE JANUARY
PROPOSAL AND THAT'S DUE TO LOWER
REVISED ESTIMATES OF REVENUES OF
STATE REVENUES. SO DESPITE THIS
DOWNWARD ASSESSMENT THIS
DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT MAY REVISION
PROPOSES TO INCREASE. THE COST
OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT OR COLA TO
COMMITTEE COLLEGE APPORTIONMENT
ST SELECT CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS
TO THE EIGHT POINT 22% AS A
RESULT. BASS APPORTIONMENT COSTS
FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN THE
BUDGET YEAR IS DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE JUST MENTIONED. WOULD BE
ABOUT NINE POINT FOUR BILLION
DOLLARS THAT WOULD BE THE COST
TO FUND. A PORTION IS NINE POINT
FOUR. BUT UNDER THE MAY REVISION
PROPOSAL THERE'S ONLY EIGHT
POINT NINE BILLION DOLLARS IN.
ONGOING FUNDING SOURCES SO YOU
HAVE A FIVE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLAR GAP M. AND AS THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE JUST
MENTION AND YOU CAN SEE ON YOUR
AGENDA ON PAGE SIX THAT THIRD
BULLET POINT DOWN. TO COVER THAT
GAP IN THE BUDGET YEAR THE
ADMINISTRATION PROPOSES TO USE
ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS IN ONE TIME MONEY. TO
COVER IT. SO UNDER THE MAY
REVISE THESE ONE TIME FUNDS
WOULD COME IN LARGE PART BY
CUTTING SUPPORT FOR INITIATIVES
THAT THE LEGISLATURE IS ALREADY
APPROVED IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET-
AND THAT'S DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
IN THE CODED NINETEEN BLOCK
GRANT. AS YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR
IN PART B. OF THE AGENDA THE MAY
REVISION USE A SIMILAR APPROACH.
USING ONE TIME MONEY FROM
PREVIOUSLY APPROVED INITIATIVES
TO FUND ONGOING COLAS ON THE
CAGE Y. TWELVE SIDE OF THE HOUSE
SO YOU HEAR ABOUT THAT. IN A
LITTLE BIT IN PART BE. BECAUSE
THOSE INITIATIVES AND SOLUTIONS
ARE ONE TIME IN NATURE IN THE
OUT YEARS UNDER THE MAY REVISE A
PORTION IT'S WOULD HAVE A
STRUCTURAL DEFICIT. AND WE SEE
THIS IS CREATING PROBLEMS AND
BEING PROBLEMATIC DRAWBACKS THE
LEGISLATURE. IN SEVERAL WAYS.
FIRST IF THE STATE WERE TO ADOPT
THE MAY REVISION. SOME OR EVEN
ALL OF GROSS IN THE MINIMUM
MINIMUM GUARANTEE IN TWENTY FOUR
AND- IN TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE.
WOULD FIRST NEED TO GO TO WORK
FILLING THAT GAP THAT
APPORTIONMENT HOLE THAT WAS
CREATED IN THE TWENTY THREE
TWENTY FOUR BUDGET. SO THAT
REALLY. TAKES AWAY OPPORTUNITIES
FOR THE LEGISLATURE TO SPEND NEW
MONEY FROM THAT GROWS IN THE
GUARANTEED ON YOUR OWN.
LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES INCLUDING
PERHAPS A NEW COST OF LIVING
ADJUSTMENT THE FIRST CALL IS ON
JUST FILLING THE WHOLE. SECOND
AS YOU HEARD EARLIER YOU AGAIN
YOU'LL HEAR IN PART BE THE
AGENDA PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
SPENDING ON COMMUNITY COLLEGES
AND K. TWELVE. IS BASED ON WHAT
OUR OFFICE WE CHARACTERIZES
OPTIMISTIC REVENUES. SO ADOPTING
MAY REVISE SPENDING PROPOSALS
COULD PUT THE LEGISLATURE IN A
TOUGH POSITION SHOULD THE
ECONOMY CONTINUE TO WEEKEND AND
REVENUES COME IN LOWER THAN.
EXPECTED UNDER THE MAY REVISION
IN OTHER WORDS PROVIDING MORE ON
GOING SPENDING COMMITMENTS- THIS
YEAR MA'AM COULD RESULT IN
HAVING TO TAKE BACK MORE LATER.
ANOTHER DOWNSIDE TO THE
GOVERNOR'S APPROACH USING ONE
TIME MONEY TO FIND FUND ON GOING
COSTS IS THE DISTRICTS HAVE
ALREADY RECEIVED THEIR DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE OUR MONEY AND THEIR
COVERT NINETEEN BLOCK GRANT
MONEY ALL OF IT WILL HAVE GONE
OUT WITHIN A FEW. WEEKS AND
ALREADY AND MOST OF HIS GONE OUT
ALREADY SO IN FROM DISCUSSIONS
WITH DISTRICTS- THAT WE'VE HAD-
IN PERHAPS OF IT VISITED YOU AS
WELL. THEY'VE INDICATED THEY'VE
SPENT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
TIME- PLANNING HOW TO USE THAT
MONEY IN THE CASE OF THE
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE THEY'VE PUT
. CERTAIN PROJECTS OUT TO BID OR
EVEN. IDENTIFY CONTRACTORS AND
SO TAKING MONEY AWAY. FROM
DISTRICTS THAT ALREADY SEE THE
MONEY AND PUT IN SO MUCH TIME IN
PLANNING OVER A MULTIYEAR PERIOD
WOULD BE VERY DISRUPTIVE TO THEM
- SO GIVEN THE SITUATION AND THE
SIGNIFICANT DOWNSIDE RISKS WE
RECOMMEND THE LEGISLATURE ADOPT.
A DIFFERENT STARTING POINT FROM
WHAT THE GOVERNOR HAS A MAJOR
REVISION. WITH A FOCUS ON. FOR A
FUNDING BASELINE COSTS AND
SEEKING TO FIND COMMUNITY
COLLEGES IN A MORE SUSTAINABLE
WAY. SO AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE
MAY REVISION ADOPTING A FIVE
POINT 1% COLA WOULD BETTER ALIGN
COSTS WOULD HAVE WITH AVAILABLE
ON GOING FUNDS BY PROVIDING A
COLA. THAT THE LEGISLATURE CAN
AFFORD THE STATE CAN AFFORD
LEGISLATURE COULD ALSO THEN
AVOID MAKING REDUCTIONS TO
THOSE. PROGRAMS THOSE
INITIATIVES. FOR WHICH THAT THE
MONEY'S ALREADY GONE OUT TO
DISTRICTS. AND THAT ALSO WOULD
INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD THE
STATE COULD FIND COLAS IN FUTURE
YEARS AND FINALLY JUST LATER
PRIORITIES AND PROGRESS IN
FUTURE YEARS. SO UNDER A
BASELINE BUDGET APPROACH NO
FUNNY WOULD BE PROVIDED FOR
NEWLY PROPOSED INITIATIVES SO WE
WOULD RECOMMEND THE LEGISLATURE
FOR EXAMPLE REJECT THE PROPOSAL
IN JANUARY SINCE REVISED IT MAY.
PROVIDE ANOTHER ROUND OF FUNDING
FOR THE MOMENT AND RETENTION
INITIATIVE. AND AS THIS
SUBCOMMITTEE HEARD LAST MONTH ON
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE ITEM. THE
FIRST ROUND OF FUNDING THAT FITS
IN THE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET IS
JUST BEING SPENT NOW AND SO IT'S
VERY LIKELY. THAT THERE WILL BE
SIGNIFICANT MONEY LEFTOVER
THROUGH THE BUDGET YEAR FOR
DISTRICTS TO SPEND ON ENROLLMENT
RETENTION PURPOSES ANYWAY. JUST
WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE POINT
THOUGH THAT A BASELINE BUDGET
APPROACH. CAN JUST BE TREATED AS
A STARTING POINT INTENDED TO BE
TREATED AS A STARTING POINT IT
GIVES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
LEGISLATURE TO ADD TO IT OR MAKE
OTHER MODIFICATIONS BASED ON
YOUR PRIORITIES. AND THEN PARTY
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR MORE ABOUT
THE BASELINE APPROACH AND HOW IT
APPLIES TO K. TWELVE EDUCATION
UNDER OUR RECOMMENDATION. SO
APART FROM FUNDING JUST CONCLUDE
TALKING ABOUT. THE FLEXIBILITY
PROPOSAL FOR CATEGORICAL
PROGRAMS- STUDENT EQUITY
ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM FINANCIAL
AID AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.
WE RECOMMEND THE LEGISLATURE
REJECT THIS PROPOSAL WOULD NOT
PROVIDE MEANINGFUL FLEXIBILITY
TO DISTRICTS DISTRICTS FOREVER
FOR EXAMPLE ALREADY HAVE
CONSIDERABLE FLEXIBILITY AND HOW
THEY USE THEIR STUDENT EQUITY
AND ACHIEVEMENT MONEY THEY CAN
ALREADY USE IT FOR FINANCIAL AID
A MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. AND IT
IN ADDITION THE LEGISLATURE
REALLY DOES HAVE AN INTEREST IN
MAKING SURE THAT THE MONEY IS
USED FOR SAY MENTAL HEALTH ARE
USED FOR MENTAL HEALTH INSTEAD
OF USED FOR SOME OTHER PURPOSE
SO. WE THINK THAT LEGISLATURE
SHOULD REJECT THAT PROPOSAL.
I'LL STOP THERE ARE HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS
OR OTHER PROPOSALS IN THE
REVISION THANKS THANK YOU VERY
MUCH N. OF THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S PROPOSAL SORT OF TEED
OFF A COUPLE OF THE QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS THAT THAT. I WOULD HAVE
BEEN AT. WOMEN ON PROPOSITION
NINETY EIGHT I KNOW IT'S COMING
UP IN THE- IN THE SECOND PART OF
THIS HEARING BUT- IT'S
INSTRUMENTAL TO. COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AND THE INTERESTING
BECAUSE I THINK BOTH OF MY
CONCERNED ABOUT THE OVERALL
ARCHITECTURE WHICH SEEMS TO BE
MORE ISSUE THAN SOME OF THE
INDIVIDUAL. ARE THINGS BECAUSE
IT'S HOW MUCH TO DO HOW IT ALL
FITS TOGETHER HOW IT ADDS AND
SUBTRACTS. AND ON OVERALL PROP
NINETY EIGHT I DON'T KNOW. IF
I'M WRONG BUT I'VE READ. THAT
YOU KNOW COMES IN TWO PARTS IT
COMES INTO THE SORT OF GENERAL
FUND PROP NINETY EIGHT AND IT
COMES IN PROPERTY TAXES AND IT
SEEMS THAT. THAT THE FINANCE
PROPOSAL AND THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S PROPOSAL OR DIFFERENT
IN THE PROJECTED REVENUES BUT-
ONE OF THE TWO OF YOU IS HIRED
PROPERTY TAXES AND THE OTHER OF
THE TWO OF YOU IS HIGHER IN THE
APPORTIONMENT. AND THE COULD YOU
. MAYBE SPEAK TO THAT FIRST
SECOND AS WE TRY- OURS IS. WE
TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT- THE
BASELINE REALLY IS FOR THESE
AND- I SUSPECT THAT YOU BOTH
HAVE BEEN RESCUED BY THE FACT
THAT HE WALKED OUT FROM THE
CROWD AND BOOKS ANXIOUS TO
ANSWER. THE QUESTION. SO WHAT
WILL START. WITH YOU. AND THANK
YOU SENATOR LAYERED I CAN
COMBINE WITH THE ANALYST'S
OFFICE SITE COOPER PROPOSITION
NINETY EIGHT. I'M SO WE DID JUST
RELEASE- ARE FISCAL OUTLOOK FOR
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT AS YOU
MENTIONED WE HAVE LOWER GENERAL
FUND RESTON ESTIMATE SO OUR
ESTIMATE OF THE GENERAL FUND
PORTION OF THE GUARANTEE IS
LOWER BUT WE ALSO HAVE HIGHER
PROPERTY TAX ESTIMATES. EITHER
UP AROUND A LITTLE OVER TWO
BILLION. WITH A THREE YEAR
PERIOD COMPARED TO THE
ADMINISTRATION'S ESTIMATE. I'M A
PORTION OF THAT- WHAT SIX
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION IS IN
THE CURRENT YEAR BUT MOST OF
THAT DIFFERENCE. IS RELATED TO
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE BUDGET-
IN THE DOES FINANCE EVER ANY
COMMENT ON THAT. I DON'T HAVE A
LOT OF DETAIL ON THE EXACT
DIFFERENCES ON OUR ESTIMATES
APART MANY COMPARED TO OTHERS MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE MORE EXPERTISE
THERE AND HAPPY TO GIVE. YOU
MORE DETAILS OKAY BECAUSE I
THINK SAID. THAT WHEN WE HAVE
THE NEGOTIATIONS AND THE DEBATE
ABOUT HOW TO LAND THE PLANE.
RECONCILING THOSE TWO
DIFFERENCES ARE GOING TO BE A
KEY PART OF IT AND WE WANT TO DO
THAT SO WITHOUT HAVING A
DEFINITIVE. THING HERE IT WAS
TIME SIGNALING THAT THAT'S AN
ISSUE BUT SO I CAN SPEAK A
LITTLE BIT TO THAT IN THIS MAYBE
WON'T RESOLVE THE- THE DISAGREED
THAT DIFFERENCES IN OUR OUTLET
COMING THERE. WE ALWAYS EVERY
YEAR HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES-
TYPICALLY THE PROPERTY TAX
REVENUE LEGS WHAT'S HAPPENING
WITH THE HOUSING MARKET BY A FEW
YEARS SO- THAT CRIPPLED
PRELIMINARY DATA FOR TWENTY TO
TWENTY THREE CAME IN. VERY
STRONG A VERY STRONG YEAR THAT
MIGHT SEEM A BIT. UNEXPECTED
GIVEN THE COOLING IN THE HOUSING
MARKET RIGHT NOW BUT IT'S
REFLECTING THE BIG RUN UP IN THE
HOUSING WOMAN TWENTY TWENTY ONE.
I THINK OUR OUTLOOK IS
ANTICIPATING WE HAVE ANOTHER
GOOD YEAR. AHEAD OF US IN TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR IS THAT TWENTY
TWENTY ONE BOOM START- CONTINUES
TO AFFECT PROPERTY VALUES AND
PROPERTY TAX PAYMENTS. WHERE IS
THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCES
ANTICIPATING MORE- COOLING WILL
HAPPEN MORE QUICKLY IN TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR. I BOTH OF OUR
OFFICES ANTICIPATE THAT WE'LL
SEE MUCH SLOWER GROWTH IN
PROPERTY TAX- OVER THE NEXT YEAR
FOR YEARS. BUT WILL A BIT HIGHER
IN TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR
WHERE THEY'RE ASSUMING. THAT
SLOWDOWN STARTS MORE QUICKLY IN
TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR. MMHM
CAN. THEN I I'M JUST GONNA LEAVE
THAT. WORD IS AND THEN THE- HIT
IT WELL I HAVE ONE. SPECIFIC
QUESTION FOR FINANCE BEFORE GET
BACK TO THE ARCHITECTURE AND ON
THE L. G. B. T. Q. PILOT PROJECT
HOW DOES THAT MONEY. GET OUT THE
DOOR HOUSE IT DIS DECIDED HOW
THAT WILL BE. DISTRIBUTED YEAH
AND- OBVIOUSLY CHRISTOPHER
MARLOWE THAT ON ANYTHING- THE-
IT WOULD BE DISTURBING THE SAME
WAY THAT THE TWENTY TWENTY ONE
BUDGET ACT. UP PROGRAM WAS
DEBATED SO I BELIEVE IT'S A
GRANT PROGRAM. ADMINISTERED BY
THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE SO
DISTRICTS CAN APPLY ANYTHING
THERE'S A- CAP WORDS OF THE
LOWER BOUND OF FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND- AT SO YEAH AT THE
CENTER GRANT PROGRAM TO BE HOW
IT WOULD BE. WOULD GO OUT AND IF
IT'S CAPPED AT FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND IF IT TURNS OUT THAT.
THAT EVERY GRANT WAS AT THE CAP
YOU'RE REALLY. LOOKING AT TWENTY
GRANTS OR SOMETHING FROM THIS IF
PEOPLE ARE BELOW THE CAP A BIT
IT SPREADS FURTHER IS THAT
GENERALLY IN. OKAY AND JUST TO
BE FOR TEN MILLION- EACH YEAR
FOR THREE YEARS AS A PROPOSAL.
OKAY GOOD THE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE WAS NODDING HIS FOR THOSE
OF YOU FOLLOWING AT HOME YEAH.
SO THAN. AND THEN THE LAST THING
IS WE HAD A CLEAR STATEMENT FROM
THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST ABOUT
THE ARCHITECTURE AND IT SEEMS
THAT. IN ORDER TO STICK. WITH
THE EIGHT POINT 22%
DISTRIBUTION. AND OTHER THINGS
LIKE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE THE
COVERED RECOVERY BLOCK GRANT-
STUDENT ENROLLMENT AND RETENTION
PROPOSAL THOSE ARE CAUGHT. TO
KEEP THAT BUT- BASICALLY. THOSE
ARE ALL THE MOVING PIECES IT
IT'S REALLY DECIDING HOW TO
CORRECTLY ASSESS THAT
ARCHITECTURE. TO BALANCE THE
BUDGET AND DOES HE THE FINANCE
DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION IS TO
HOLD TO THE 822% AND THAT CAUGHT
A LOT OF THESE OTHER THINGS IS
THAT CORRECT. YEAH THAT IS
CORRECT AND AS YOU PROBABLY SAW
ON THE GOVERNOR'S PRESENTATION
OF THE BUDGET WE BELIEVE THAT
YOU KNOW THERE'S SO MUCH
UNCERTAINTY IN THE REVENUE
PICTURE THAT WE WANT TO REASSESS
NEXT YEAR AND THAT'S INCLUDED IN
OUR PROPOSAL IS THAT. WE MAKE
THESE. CUTS TO ONE TIME PROGRAMS
THAT IT WOULD WE'VE FOUND A LOT
OF SEEMS VERY SIGNIFICANT
INVESTMENTS PASSED TWO YEARS
MANY OF THEM ARE ONE TIME M. AND
THE A PORTION FUNDING OF EIGHT
POINT TWO TWO PERCENT. A FULL
COLA IS OFTEN THE PRIORITY FOR
ME BECAUSE DISTRICTS THAT'S THE
MOST FLEXIBLE FUNDING IT
SUPPORTS THE THIRD BASE FUNDING
AND SO PROVIDING- FULL SUPPORT
FOR THAT WE FEEL IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT PRIORITY FOR THIS
BUDGET AND THEN ARE ME ASK A
FOLLOW UP QUESTION THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST AND MAYBE I
WAS CONFUSED BUT WHEN YOU WENT
INTO SOME OF THE PROGRAMS YOU
MADE IT SOUND LIKE. MONEY HAD
GONE OUT THE DOOR AS MONEY GOING
OUT THE DOOR FOR THIS YEAR AND
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BUDGET
HERE OR IS THERE SOME OVERLAP
THERE. FOR THE MOST PART WHAT'S
BEING PROPOSED TO CUT HAS GONE
OUT THE DOOR TO THE DISTRICTS.
THE FROM TALKING WITH DISTRICTS
WE'VE ASKED WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
WITH THAT MONEY SO FAR. FOR THE
MOST PART WHAT. WHAT MONEY THEY
HAVE THAT WOULD BE PROPOSAL
BECAUSE IT HASN'T ACTUALLY BEEN.
SPENT ALTHOUGH IN SOME CASES IT
HAS BUT CERTAINLY DISTRICTS HAVE
SPENT QUITE A BIT OF TIME OF
LOCAL PLANNING IS DECIDING. HOW
TO PROGRAM THAT MONEY AND HOW TO
SPEND THAT MONEY OVER A MULTI
YEAR PERIOD. IN SOME CASES.
HIRING CONTRACTORS HIRING OTHERS
TO DO ASSESSMENTS OF COSTS ON
BUILDINGS. AND MAKING OTHER
LOCAL PLANTS SO THERE THAT IS
WELL UNDERWAY- LET'S JUST SAY.
LET'S JUST USE THE FIRST PART OF
WHAT YOU SAID. LET'S JUST SAY
THE MONEY'S GOING OUT THE DOOR.
AND THEN IT'S BEEN CUT AFTER
IT'S GONE OUT THE DOOR. DOES
THAT PUT THE DISTRICT IN A
POSITION. OF GETTING TO
APPORTIONMENT. THE EIGHT POINT
22% AND THEN DECIDING HAVE TO
COVER THE COSTS. OF WHAT WAS CUT
OUT OF THE EIGHT POINT TWO TWO
PERCENT. IS THAT GENERALLY IS
THE WAY THAT WOULD WORK THAT'S
TRUE. THAT'S OKAY. ARM I CAN
JUST ADD ON THAT. THE CHANCES OF
US WOULD HAVE DISCRETION IN HOW.
HOW TO HOW THIS WOULD FUNCTION
IF IT WERE APPROVED IN THE-
MAYOR AT THE FINAL BUDGET ACT-
THEY COULD ADJUST APARTMENTS AS
AS YOU MENTIONED OR THEY CAN
ACTUALLY REVERT THE FUNDING. AND
JUST TO ADD ON TO WHAT THE L. O.
SAID THAT- YOU KNOW WITH THAT
BOTH THESE LARGE PORTIONS OF
MONEY TO COVER BLOCK GRANT AND
THE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE. THOSE
ARE OFTEN PART OF MULTI YEAR
PLANS WITH THAT WITH THE KOBACH
AND. AS PER MULTI YEAR PLANS SO.
MAN MAN CASES THE DUST. HAVE NOT
NECESSARILY ALL IT SAME WITH THE
FOR WHEN YOU SEE THE AN AND-
SITUATION THAT WILL GET TO IN
THE CASE OF. A IS WITH ARTS
MONEY. AND SO A LOT OF PEOPLE
COLLECTIVELY BARGAINED ARTS
MONEY ANNOUNCED BEING CAUGHT S.
N. SO YOU GO AND IT AND I'M JUST
NERVOUS THAT SOME PEOPLE PUT THE
MONEY OUT THE DOOR. AND THEN WE
CUT TO GET AFTER THEY PUT THE
MONEY OUT THE DOOR. AND WALLS I
THINK YOU SAID THAT THEY COULD
ADJUSTED PORTION ON. IT SEEMS TO
ME THAT THE MORE LIKELY THING IS
EVERYBODY GETS THE SAME
APPORTIONMENT THEY JUST HAVE. TO
EAT THE COSTS OUT OF THE
APPORTIONMENT. NOT SURE IF I'M I
WAS HAS ONE ALTHOUGH. USE YEAH
RIGHT I COULD. THE A PORSCHE.
YEAH THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING
THIS AGAIN THIS WOULD BE AT THE
DISCRETION HANSON'S OFFICE FOR
HOW EXACTLY HOW IT FUNCTIONS BUT
THAT'S AN OPTION HALF AND IN
OHIO IS BEING REALLY RESPECTFUL
NOTICES HAND. SO THAT IT'S NOT
CLEAR FROM THE PROPOSAL WHAT
EXACT HOW THAT MONEY WOULD BE.
REALIZE HOW THOSE SAVINGS WOULD
BE REALIZED IT COULD BE SOME
SORT OF CLAW BACK GO BACK TO THE
DISTRICTS AND SAY. ACTUALLY
WE'RE GONNA YEAH YOU NEED TO
GIVE US THAT MONEY BACK. THAT
THAT WE JUST GAVE YOU YOU KNOW
EARLIER IN THE YEAR OR THERE
COULD BE. SOME SORT OF
APPROACHES CHANCES OFFICES HAS
FLOATED ABOUT. GIVING A
COMMUNITY COLLEGES LASSEN
APPORTIONMENT NEXT YEAR THAN
THEY WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE GOTTEN
TO TREAT IT IS ALMOST LIKE AN
OVERPAYMENT. OR SOMETHING AND
THEN MAKING A CUT FROM THERE. I
THINK THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE
HAD A CALM. I CAN PROVIDE A
LITTLE BIT OF CLARITY GOOD
MORNING A SENATOR LAYERED I'LL
IS THAT WITH THE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE. ARE TYPICALLY WHAT WE DO
EVERY YEAR IN AUGUST AS WE ISSUE
A RECALCULATION SO WHERE WE TRUE
UP ANY DOLLARS. SO UNDER THE
GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISION SCENARIO
WHAT WE WOULD DO IS- ESSENTIALLY
ISSUE. ARE THERE SO- YOU KNOW
PAYMENT STATEMENT- WITH THE
APPORTIONMENT AMOUNT- THAT IS
PROVIDED- ELEMENT IS FUNDED
ESSENTIALLY IN CASH. AND THEN
SHOW A NEGATIVE BALANCE ON THOSE
TWO- PROGRAMS THAT WOULD HAVE A
ONE TIME CUT. INTO DISTRICTS
THAN- WILL BE IN DIFFERENT
SCENARIOS SOME- WILL HAVE BUILT
THESE FUNDS OUT INTO A FIVE
YEARS PARTICULARLY FOR THE
COVERED ON A NINETEEN BLOCK
GRANT THAT THEY HAD FIVE YEARS
TO SPEND THAT DOWN. SO THEY MADE
ONLY BE IN THE FIRST YEAR OF
EXPANDING THOSE. ARE THE
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE DOLLARS
MOST OF THOSE MAY HAVE ALREADY
BEEN COMMITTED SO IT IS LIKELY
THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ABSORB
THOSE FROM THEIR PORTION MEANT
DOLLARS OR OTHER. SOURCES OF
LOCAL REVENUE. I THANK YOU AT IS
A HOBBY WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET
CONCLUDE HERE TODAY BUT I THINK
THE IMPORTANT THING. WAS TO
HIGHLIGHT THIS ARCHITECTURE AND
ITS IMPACTS OF THAT AS WE MOVE
TOWARD. GETTING TO A FINAL
BUDGET WE DO OUR BEST TO TRY TO.
ACCOMMODATE THE LEAST DISRUPTION
AND WHATEVER IS POSSIBLE I
DIDN'T MEAN TO. GO ON BUT THERE
WAS A VORTEX THERE THAT I JUMPED
INTO TO DO EITHER MY COLLEAGUES
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SENATOR MEN-
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES JUST ON. YOU
KNOW OBVIOUSLY WE'RE IN A BUDGET
CRUNCH- YOU KNOW I HAVE SOME
CONCERNS I KNOW I'VE HEARD A LOT
FROM MY LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICTS AND TRUSTEES ABOUT THE
NEED TO FIND DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE AT THAT WE'VE GOT A
LOT OF. ON GOING NEEDS AND KIND
OF WHEN WE HAD THESE BIG
SURPLUSES LAST COUPLE YEARS I
KNOW THEY WERE PUSHING
AGGRESSIVELY TO TRY TO GET MORE
FOR DEFERRED MAINTENANCE- IT IS
BUDGET TAKES A LOT OUT OF
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE AND PUTS IT
INTO. STUDENT CENTERED FUNDING
FORMULA. WHICH IN I THINK IT'S
ALSO IMPORTANT HELPS YOUR YOUR
DIFFERENT- DISTRICTS SPEND IN
WAYS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THEM
BUT- I GUESS I WAS JUST WHAT
LOOKING FOR YOUR COMMENT ON ON
YOUR DEFERRED MAINTENANCE NEEDS
AND- AND YOUR VIEW ON WHAT. THIS
PROPOSED BUDGET DOES FOR THAT.
THANK YOU SENATOR MAN HAPPY DID
OF TIME IN ON THAT ISSUE. I ONE
OF THE ADVANTAGES THAT THE
INVESTMENT IN DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE PROVIDED LAST YEAR
IS THAT IT WAS SUBSTANTIAL. THE
COLLEGES WERE ABLE TO TAKE- AND
ADDRESS SOME OF THE LARGER MORE
EXPENSIVE PROJECTS ON THEIR
BACKLOG LIST. AND SO WHAT WE'RE
SEEING IS THAT THERE ARE ABOUT
FIVE THOUSAND PROJECTS ON FROM
VARIOUS RANGES YOU KNOW FROM
ROOFING TO- IT TO. AC AND OTHER
VARIOUS ISSUES THAT ARE COSTLY-
AND SO ONE OPTION THAT COULD BE
CONSIDERED. AS PART OF SOLUTIONS
RECOGNIZING THAT THERE ARE SOME
TOUGH CHOICES TO BE MADE- IN
THIS YEAR'S BUDGET- AND WE'RE
VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE COLA
THAT'S BEEN PROVIDED. ONE OPTION
WOULD BE TO PROVIDE A CASH
DEFERRAL FOR THE DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE PORTION OF IT. THAT
WOULD ALLOW COLLEGE. OF THESE
PROJECTS TO MOVE FORWARD AT THE
COLLEGES- AND THEN THE STATE CAN
PAY THOSE BACK AT A FUTURE DATE.
BUT HAVING THAT CERTAINTY THAT
THE COLLEGES WITH THAT HAVE THAT
THOSE RESOURCES IN THE FUTURE.
COULD ALLOW THOSE TO MOVE
FORWARD AGAIN. RECOGNIZING THE
TOUGH CHOICES HAVE TO BE MADE
THIS IS. LEVINE ST YOU CORRECTLY
IT MAYBE I HAVE A FOLLOW UP
QUESTION WHICH IS WHAT IF WE
DON'T DO THE CASH DEFERRAL OR
ANYTHING ELSE. WHAT IS GOING TO
BE IMPACTED THIS CUT ON ON
PROJECTS THAT ARE UNDERWAY ON ON
PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING PLANNED.
I WILL BE THE COST TO THE STATE
AND IN YOUR COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICTS- AND OTHER
CONSEQUENCES THAT. THANK YOU
SOME COLLEGE WILL HAVE TO READ.
ROGIC AT. AN APOLOGIES SOME
COLLEGES WILL HAVE TO REASSESS
THEIR PROJECTS OR WILL HAVE TO
LOOK FOR OTHER RESOURCES- IN
ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THEM
DEPENDING ON THE URGENCY. AND
THE SAFETY NEEDS OF THOSE
PROJECTS THAT REALLY WILL VERY
ACROSS OUR SEVENTY TWO
DISTRICTS. BUT AGAIN MANY OF
THEM WILL HAVE TO REASSESS- AS
THEY ADOPT THEIR BUDGETS THIS
SUMMER. I IS A POSSIBILITY THE
BOND HERE THE SECOND ASSEMBLY
SOMETHING THAT BECAUSE OF PROP
NINETY EIGHT WE'RE NOT ABLE TO
DO. BONDS TYPICALLY ARE NOT
UTILIZED FOR DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE PROJECTS THIS YEAR
USUALLY A NEW CONSTRUCTION
PROJECTS ATTENTIVELY
MODERNIZATION- WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING AT HERE WOULDN'T
NECESSARILY QUALIFY FOR A BOND.
THE BILL AGAIN COLLEGES WOULD
LIKELY HAVE TO IDENTIFY OTHER.
OF GENERAL- AND FLEXIBLE PERSON
AND DOLLARS THAT THEY MAY HAVE
AT THEIR DISPOSAL THANK YOU
PRISON- LA- YOU LOOK LIKE YOU
HAVE SOME COMMENTS OR THOUGHTS
HERE HE WAS ACTUALLY NODDING.
OFF IT RIGHT AND I JUST WANNA
SEE IF YOU NEED US YEAH. THAT'S
TRAVIS I WAS A AGREEING WITH
WHAT NEVER IT WAS SAYING THAT.
IT JUST- COLLEGES OVER THE YEARS
IT HAD DEVELOPED A- PRETTY LARGE
BACKLOG OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
MORE THAN TWO BILLION DOLLARS
AND IT'S THE LEGISLATURE TO ITS
CREDIT HAS. PROVIDED MONEY IN IN
DISTRICTS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CHIP
AWAY AT THAT. AND I ADDRESS LIFE
SAFETY ISSUES ISSUES AFFECTING
CLASSROOM AND LEARNING- LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT SO- BY MAKING THESE
. CUTS TO DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
THOSE PROJECTS. MIGHT NOT HAPPEN
AS MISS NEVER SAID A WORD THE
COULD HAPPEN BUT USING. OR
SUBMITS OR SOME OTHER FUNDING
SOURCE WHICH MEANS THAT MUCH
LESS MONEY FOR SOMETHING ELSE
THAT THEY WERE PLANNING TO DO SO
. THERE THERE REALLY IS AT THE
END OF THE DAY. AN IMPACT ON A
COLLEGES AND IN WHAT THEY CAN
SPEND THEIR MONEY ON FOR THEIR
LOCAL NEEDS AND PRIORITIES AND I
ASSUME THAT IF YOU PLAN A
PROJECT YOU STARTED YOU KNOW I
MEAN IT'S NOT SHOVEL READY OR
YOU HAVEN'T STARTED YET BUT
THAT'S GOING TO. INCREASE
OVERALL COSTS. THAT IS IT FAIR
TO ASSUME. IT COULD INCREASE
COSTS BECAUSE OF INFLATION BUT
IT'S ALSO DISTRICTS HAVE ALREADY
INCURRED SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
COST JUST DOING THIS PLANNING
PROCESS HIRING ASSESSORS TO LOOK
AT THE PROBLEMS OF WHAT THE COST
MIGHT BE IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND
EIGHT AS I MENTIONED EARLIER IN
SOME CASES I DISTRICTS OF HIRED
CONTRACTORS HAVE GONE OUT TO BID
. IS MY LAST QUICK QUESTION AND
I JUST WANTED KICKING OVER THE
DEPARTMENT FINANCE WHICH IS- YOU
KNOW AGAIN I KNOW THIS IS A VERY
COMPLEX BUDGET LOTS OF LOTS OF
MOVING PARTS AND WE'RE FACING. A
LOT OF DOWNWARD PRESSURE BUT- I
MEAN IT SEEMS LIKE INVESTING IN
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE PROJECTS
THAT ARE ALREADY UNDERWAY WOULD
BE A WISE USE OF DOLLARS- VIS A
VIS OTHER PRIORITIES. SO I JUST
WANTED YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT.
YEAH OBVIOUSLY WE SUPPORT WE
WOULD PROPOSE MEHR VISION AND WE
BELIEVE THAT THE APARTMENTS
FUNDING IS THE MOST FLEXIBLE AND
NOT ONLY. THAT BUT A KEY PIECES
THAT IF WE PROVIDE. PROVIDE A
POINT 22% FULL COLOR. THAT ROLES
FOR DISTRICTS IT RAISES THEIR
PORTION MEANS GOING FORWARD AND
IF WE- OUT WHERE IS THE FOR
MINUTES AS AND HAVE THE SAME
IMPACT ON ON THEIR OVERALL
BUDGET ALONG. ON TERM. THANK
YOU. END OF A RANDOM ADDITIONAL
COMMENT AND THAT IS. THE
DISTRICT WHERE I SERVED AS
TRUSTEE FOR EIGHT YEARS. THE
COLLEGES BUILT ON THE SIDE OF
THE HILL. SO DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE IS ALWAYS IN THE
SENSIBILITY ISSUE. AS MUCH AS
JUST. OUTMODED FACILITIES ANY
QUESTIONS FROM CENTER OF TROUBLE
. SEND QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
EXPRESSED OKAY A MICHAEL WHICH
ECHOED CONCERNS SO. THAT GREAT
OKAY THANKS EVERYBODY FOR. A FOR
THAT ROBUST DISCUSSION ON ISSUE
FOR. AND WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON TO
WHAT I'M CONFIDENT BE VERY BRIEF
DISCUSSION. WHICH IS ISSUE. FIVE
DEVIN MITCHELL FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. HOPEFULLY
SICK CAME FROM THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE AND VARIOUS
PEOPLE FOR- JOINING THEM SO.

CANCER QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF
THE CASELOAD DRIVEN BUDGET JUST
ONCE IN THE MAIL LETTER. WHICH
IS IN THE INTEREST OF TIME A
FOCUS ON THE BIGGEST ONE WHICH
THE CAL GRANT AND I'LL CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IN MY
REMARKS. THE PROPOSAL REFLECTS
UPDATED PREK PREK TO EXPANDERS
IN THE CAL GRANT PROGRAMS BASED
ON LATEST ENROLLMENT ESTIMATES
AMONG STUDENTS ELIGIBLE FOR THE

FINANCIAL AID APPLICATIONS
RECEIVED BY THE MARCH SECOND
DEADLINE. ESTIMATED PROGRAM

VISION ALSO ASSUMES INCREMENTAL
SAVINGS OF THIRTY SEVEN POINT
TWO MILLION GENERAL FUND IN
TWENTY TWENTY TO TWENTY THREE
THE CURRENT YEAR. TRIPLET
PROVIDES NO CLASS SCHOLARSHIP
PROACTIVE PROGRAM EXPENDITURES.
UPDATED PRODUCTION SHIFTED
ESTIMATED PROGRAM EXPENDITURES
FROM SIX HUNDRED THIRTY POINT
FOUR MILLION THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET TO FIVE HUNDRED NINETY
THREE POINT TWO MILLION IT MAY
REVISION. ADDITIONALLY THE
MARRIAGE INCLUDE SEVERAL PIECES
OF TRAILER BILL- LANGUAGE OTHER
SORT OF ITEMS. THE
ADMINISTRATION TO TERMINATE A
GOOD FAITH EFFORT WAS MADE BY
THE INDEPENDENT INSTITUTIONS OF
HIGHER ED TOWARDS MEETING THE
STATUTORY ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR
TRANSFER COMMITMENT. REQUIRED TO
MAINTAIN THE MAXIMUM CAL GRANT A
WORD AMOUNT FOR STUDENTS
ATTENDING INDEPENDENT CITIZENS
OF HIGHER EDUCATION. AT NINE
THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED FIFTY
EIGHT DOLLARS FOR THE- TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR AWARD YEAR.
ADDITIONALLY IT'S REQUESTED THE
STATUTORY CHANGES TRANSMIT WITH
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET BE ALTERED
TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIREMENT
THAT. GOLDEN STATE TEACHER
BECAUSE IF YOUR TEACHER GRANT
PROGRAM AWARDED A CERTAIN
PRIORITY SCHOOLS- THOSE REQUESTS
THIS ASHTRAY CHANGES BE ADDED TO
THE PROGRAM TO ENABLE STUDENTS
ATTENDING STERN ONLINE PROVIDERS
OF HIGHER EDUCATION TO MEET.
OTHER PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS TO
BECOME ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE
AWARDS. CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THE
ADMINISTRATION HAS DONE IN
PREVIOUS YEARS IS ALSO REQUEST
THE STATUTORY CHANGES BE ADDED
TO ACQUIRE CAL GRANT
PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS. USED
A THREE YEAR COHORT DEFAULT
COHORT DEFAULT RATES ON STUDENT
LOAN REPAYMENT CERTIFIED IN
TWENTY TWENTY. DETERMINANTS
STUDENTS ELIGIBILITY TO

PROGRAMS FOR THE TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR TWENTY FIVE ACADEMIC YEAR.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S
EXTENDED STUDENT LONG PAUSE HAS
BECAUSE THE UNDERLYING DATA NEED
TO COMPUTE THAT THAT THREE YEAR
COURT FIGHT RATE TO BE
UNAVAILABLE. FINALLY I'M GOING
TO TURN OVER TO MY COLLEAGUE
JACK'S WALL DISCUSS THE PUBLIC
INTEREST A TRAIL. ABOUT LOAN
PROGRAM ITEM THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. JEFF WILPON FINANCE- THE
PUBLIC INTEREST. ATTORNEY LOAN
REPAYMENT PROGRAM WAS CREATED IN
LINE TWO THOUSAND ONE- THERE WAS
NO FUNDING MECHANISM PROVIDED
FOR THAT PROGRAM GIVEN. THAT THE
STATE WAS FACING NOW THAT THE
NEW THOUGHTS WERE NOT A GREAT
YEAR FISCALLY OR PROTECTED
FISCALLY FOR THE STATE- IN
TWENTY FIFTEEN- CENTER BLOCK.
PASSED A BILL THAT- HAD-
INTEREST ACCOUNTS HELD BY
ATTORNEYS IN TRUST FOR THEIR
CLIENTS IN CASES WHERE THERE WAS
NO ERROR- AND THAT MONEY SHEETS
TO THE STATE. THAT MONEY SHOULD
BE PROVIDED TO FUND THIS
PROGRAM- WHEN THAT BILL PASSED
THE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE
INDICATED TO ME THAT THERE
WEREN'T SUFFICIENT RESOURCES TO
REALLY MOVE WITH THE PROGRAM. SO
IT WAS- KIND OF DORMANT FOR A
WHILE- AND THEN- ABOUT THIS
FALL. WE GOT A NOTICE FROM THE
TREASURE XTC COMPTROLLER'S
OFFICE THAT THERE WAS-
SUFFICIENT FUNDING TO KIND OF
BUILD A PROGRAM SO WHAT WE'RE
DOING. IS THAT WE'RE PROVIDING
SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY SIX
THOUSAND. FROM THIS FUND. ABOUT
TWO HUNDRED SIXTEEN THOUSAND OF
THAT WILL BE USED FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORTS THAT'S
ONE PERSON TO MANAGE THE PROGRAM
AND VARIOUS. NEEDED TECHNOLOGY
SPACE ADVERTISING NECESSARY TO
RUN THE PROGRAM AND THEN ENOUGH
MONEY- IN THE- ACTUAL GRANT
AMOUNTS TO SUPPORT FORTY ONE.
ATTORNEYS TO THE ENTIRE FOUR
YEAR PROGRAM- QUALIFIED
ATTORNEYS THAT COMPLETE ALL FOUR
YEARS OF THE PROGRAM ARE
ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE UP TO ELEVEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS IN LOAN
REPAYMENTS- AND THE WAY WE HAVE
STRUCTURED THIS PROGRAMS IF WE
CONTINUE TO SEE. SORT OF A
DEARTH OF FUNDING IN FUTURE
YEARS THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT
WE CURRENTLY HAVE ON HAND WOULD
BE SUFFICIENT TO OPERATE THE
PROGRAM FOR FOUR TO FIVE YEARS
EVEN IF NOTHING ADDITIONALLY
CAME IN SO WE'RE EXCITED TO
FINALLY GET THIS PROGRAM GOING
HI TWENTY TWO YEARS IN THE
MAKING. IT GIVES ME HOPE. NOW IF
I DO A BUILD. OUT OF FROM THE
OLD FOLKS HOME I WILL SEE THAT
IT'S BEING IMPLEMENTED TWENTY
TWO YEARS LATER THAT IS. REALLY
GOOD. LET'S GO ON TO THE
LEGISLATIVE AND WITH. IF THE
KING LET THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE I'M AS YOU'VE
HEARD THERE ARE MANY MAYOR
VISION PROPOSALS FOR THE
COMMISSION BUT AN INTERESTING
TIME I'LL JUST FOCUS ON A FEW OF
THE LARGER ONES. REGARDING HOW
KANSEN MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP
WE THINK THE CASE LETTERS ASMAN
SAID THE MAYOR VISION ARE
REASONABLE AND WE RECOMMEND
APPROVED. WE ALSO RECOMMEND
APPROVING THE PROPOSAL TO
DISCONTINUE THE GOLDEN STATE
EDUCATION TRAINING GRANT
PROGRAM. AS WE DISCUSSED EARLIER
THIS SPRING THIS PROGRAM WHICH
SERVES WORKERS DISPLACED BY THE
COVER NINETEEN PANDEMIC. I IS
SEEING THAT UNDERLINED THE NEED
NEED HAS SIGNIFICANTLY
DIMINISHED. THE LAST ANIMAL
COMMENT ON IS THE OTHER GOLDEN
STATE PROGRAM GOLDEN STATE PETER
. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PROPOSED
CHANGES FOR THIS PROGRAM IN THE
MARRIAGE IN. THE MOST NOTABLE OF
THESE CHANGES IS TO RESTORE THE
REQUIREMENT THAT RECIPIENTS OF
THESE CONSERVE IT A PRIORITY
SCHOOL. THIS RESPONSE TO CONCERN
WAS RAISED BY THE SUBCOMMITTEE
EARLIER IN THE SPRING AND WE
RECOMMEND APPROVING AT. THERE IS
ALSO ANOTHER CHANGE TO THIS
PROGRAM AS THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE DISCUSSED. ON THIS IS AN
AMENDMENT TO LABOR CODE THAT
WOULD EXPAND ELIGIBILITY FOR THE
TEACHER GRANTS PROGRAM TO
STUDENTS ENROLLED IN CERTAIN
ONLINE PROVIDERS IS DETERMINED
BY THE LABOR SECRETARY. HERE WE
WOULD RAISE THAT A FEW CONCERNS-
FIRST DEMAND FOR THE TEACHER
GRANTS PROGRAM IS HIGH UNDER THE
CURRENT ELIGIBILITY RULES IN THE
COMMISSION IS PROJECTED TO.
SPEND THE FUNDS AHEAD OF
SCHEDULE OF LOUD. THE SECOND THE
PROPOSED ELIGIBILITY BILITY
EXPANSION COULD MAKE THE
PROGRAMS MORE COMPLEX TO
ADMINISTER. I IN PART BY
INVOLVING AGENCY IN THE PROCESS
. AND THIRD THE PROPOSAL APPEARS
TO TARGET CERTAIN INSTITUTIONS
ARE BASED OUTSIDE CALIFORNIA
WHICH IS. MORE THAN USUAL FOR
STATE FINANCIAL AID AND- WITH
RACISM POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
THAT MAY WARRANT MORE THOROUGH
DISCUSSION. THANK YOU I'M HAPPY
TO TAKE QUESTIONS ON THESE OR
ANY OTHER ITEM THE QUESTIONS
BUDGET FOR THE MAYOR VISION.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I THINK.
I'LL START WITH YOU JUST A
CLARIFICATION AND I'M SORRY TO.
INTRODUCE DELAYED POSTTRAUMATIC
STRESS TO EVERYBODY THAT WAS
INVOLVED IN OUR HEARING LAST
TIME- BUT THERE WAS AN ISSUE
THAT YOU ADDRESSED. ABOUT THE
STUDENT AID COMMISSION. ARE
ASKING FOR SEVENTEEN POSITIONS.
CONVERSION OF TWELVE LIMITED
TERMS FIVE OTHERS TO MANAGE
THEIR CURRENT CASELOAD AT THE
TIME. THE RECOMMENDATION WAS ONE
OR TWO. FROM THE ADMINISTRATION
AND NOW IN THE MAY REVISE ITS
FIVE. AND DO YOU SINCE THEN DID
AN ANALYSIS THAT I READ IN WHICH
YOU SORT OF WENT PROGRAM BY
PROGRAM. AND YOU SUPPORTED THE
ADMINISTRATION- THE MAY REVISED
PROPOSAL DO YOU BELIEVE THAT.
BASED ON YOUR ANALYSIS AND
COUPLING IT WITH THE MAY REVISED
PROPOSAL. THAT THE OTHER
POSITIONS THAT ARE NOT
RECOMMENDED TO BE CONVERTED-
AREN'T REALLY NECESSARY TO
HANDLE THE CASELOAD AT THIS
POINT WAS THAT. I WANT TO PUT
WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH BUT I WAS
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IT JUST TO
KNOW WHERE WE ARE. ERICA I'M-
GENERALLY SPEAKING WE THINK THAT
THE PROPOSED PHYSICIANS ARE
INCLUDED IN THE MAYOR VISION THE
FIVE THAT ARE ADDED TO DRASTIC
MISSIONS BRING INFLATE WORKLOAD
NEEDS ARE REASONABLE WAY TO
ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS WITHIN THE
AVAILABLE RESOURCES AS- DOES
THAT ANSWER THE QUESTION. SORT
OF BUT HOMES ARE BELIEVE ME
AFTER THE LAST HEARING I'M NOT
GOING TO BELABOR IT FOR
EVERYBODY TO THE ONLY THING I
WOULD ASK. IS OF THE STUDENT AID
COMMISSION AND EITHER COULD
COMMENT ANALYSIS WHAT I GLEANED
FROM THE WHOLE. DISCUSSION AT
THE LAST HEARING AND SENSE. IS
THAT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO
ADMINISTRATIVELY CREATE LIMITED
TERM POSITIONS AND SO THOSE
TWELVE. WERE ADMINISTERED
STRAIGHT OF WE CREATED AND
WEREN'T NECESSARILY. UP
POSITIONS THAT WERE AUTHORIZED
BY THE LEGISLATURE OR BASED ON
RECOMMENDATION OF FINANCE SO
DOES THAT MEAN THAT. THAT YOU
CAN DO THAT IF YOU HAVE FUNDS
AVAILABLE AND- GIVEN WITHIN THIS
BUDGET YOU WOULD GET FIVE
RECOMMENDED YOU'D STILL HAVE
TWELFTH THAT. WERE CENTURY
LIMITED TERM. DOES THAT MEAN YOU
CAN STILL AUTHORIZED THAT AND
ENDED SUBJECT WHETHER OR NOT YOU
HAVE THE MONEY TO CONTINUE THEM
IS THAT THE ACTUAL SITUATION OF
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE ADOPT-
THE- MAY REVISE RECOMMENDATIONS
. GOOD MORNING- JAKE BRUNNER
CALIFORNIA STUDENT AID
COMMISSION- CARE LAYERED THAT IS
ESSENTIALLY CORRECT- I WOULD
JUST COMMENTS THAT YOU KNOW
FIRST WE ARE OF COURSE VERY
APPRECIATIVE FOR THE
ADMINISTRATION INCLUDING THESE.
POSITIONS IN THE MAY REVISION-
WE'RE VERY CONSCIENTIOUS OF THE
BROADER REVENUE ISSUES THAT THE
STATE'S GRAPPLING WITH. AND
QUALITIES DIDN'T REFLECT THE
FULL SCOPE OF THE POSITIONS THAT
WE DISCUSSED AT THAT PRAYER
HEARING THESE ARE WHERE WE
ADDRESS SOME OF OUR MOST ACUTE
AND URGENT WORKFORCE NEEDS. AND
OF COURSE THESE HAVE BEEN
CREATED AS I NOTED AT THE LAST
HEARING AS A RESULT OF BOTH THE
ONE TIME PROGRAMS THAT WERE
ESTABLISHED WITH LENGTHY RUN
WAYS THAT GO BEYOND THE TWO
YEARS THAT WE CAN KEEP UP
LIMITED TERM. POSITION IN PLACE
AND ALSO EXPANDED PROGRAMS THAT
HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY GROWN
CASELOAD AND- NEW FEDERAL POLICY
CHANGES THAT ARE FORTHCOMING I
COULD TALK MORE ABOUT THAT IF
IT'S HELPFUL IN TERMS OF THE-
THE REVISED FREE APPLICATION FOR
FEDERAL STUDENT AID THE FASTER.
AS WELL AS THE UNIVERSAL-
APPROACH TO HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
APPLIED FOR FINANCIAL AID SO WE
DO BELIEVE THAT. LONG TERM- FOR
US TO REALLY DELIVER FOR
STUDENTS DELIVER ON THESE
PROGRAMS ONE NEED TO CONTINUE TO
LOOK AT THE CAPACITY
CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE STUDENT
AID COMMISSION WE CAN'T KEEP
THOSE LIMITED TERM POSITIONS IN
PLACE IN PERPETUITY. IF WE DON'T
HAVE THE FUNDING IN THE RESOURCE
IN TO DO IT AND IT STILL WOULD
RESULT IN THAT JOURNAL STAFF I
APPRECIATE THAT AND THE OTHER
FEEDBACK FROM STAKEHOLDERS HAS.
BEEN THAT IF. SOME PIECES OF THE
PROCESS WHICH- THERE WOULDN'T BE
THE SAME WORKLOAD REQUIREMENTS.
IS THAT SOMETHING IN SOME OF
THESE PROCESSES GIVEN THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE MORE VOLUME YOU ARE.
EASE OF DOING OR CONSIDERING
DOING I KNOW THAT'S A REAL
GLOBAL FAIR QUESTION I THINK IN
CONCEPT YES IT WOULD OF COURSE
DEPEND ON THE SPECIFIC AREAS OF
STREAMLINING THAT HAVE BEEN
IDENTIFIED IN MANY INSTANCES-
YOU KNOW FOR EXAMPLE WITH THE-
FINANCIAL AID COMPLETION
REQUIREMENT FOR. OUR HIGH SCHOOL
SENIOR STUDENTS THERE'S A
CERTAIN NUMBER OF STUDENTS WE
WANT TO HELP THE APPLY. OUR
LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCIES ARE
COMING TO THE STUDENT AID
COMMISSION UTILIZING THINGS LIKE
THE CASH FOR COLLEGE PROGRAM TO
TRY TO HELP STUDENTS APPLY- SO
THAT'S AN AREA WHERE I'M NOT- I
THINK THAT THERE WILL BE
SIGNIFICANT DEMAND ON ON STAFF
CUT TIME AND CAPACITY. I THINK
THAT ONCE AGAIN- WE HAVE
OUTLINED THE ISSUES. IT SORT OF
FEELS LIKE. WE HAVE A SENSE OF
WHERE THEY ARE EARNED IN INDIGO
. WITH A LOOK AT THIS BUT- I
JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR
HOW RESPONSIVE THEY WERE OUT OF
THE LAST DISCUSSION AND I THINK.
A WORD A MUCH- MORE FRUITFUL
PLACE SO THAT'S JUST ONE ISSUE
MY COLLEAGUES MAY HAVE OTHERS
ASCENDER SMALLWOOD QUITE THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR IN MY QUESTION
JUST GOES BACK TO A COMMENT THAT
THE- ELLIE O'S OFFICE. LIFTED UP
ABOUT THE- GOLD IS THE TEACHER
GRANT ALLOWING CALIFORNIA
RESIDENTS TO ATTEND OUT OF
STATE. ONLINE COLLEGES- IS THERE
A SENSE OF HOW THERE'S GONNA BE
SOME ACCOUNTABILITY OVER THAT
AND I'M ALSO THINKING ABOUT
CONSUMER PROTECTIONS BECAUSE-
SOME OF THESE ONLINE PROGRAMS
ARE NOT ALL CREATED EQUALLY AND
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE CALIFORNIA
RESIDENTS ARE PROTECTED IN THIS
PROCESS. ST LOUIS ABSOLUTE
ABSOLUTELY AGREE WE HAVE TRAILER
BILL LANGUAGE POSTED OUR WEBSITE
THAT DESCRIBES SORT OF CRITERIA.
THAT WE HAVE FOR THESE PROGRAMS
AND IF THEY ARE. ELIGIBLE UNDER
THOSE CRITERIA THEY STILL NEED
FULL APPROVAL FROM THE SECRETARY
OF LABOR. SO WE HAVE A- WE SHARE
THOSE CONCERNS- THE GOAL OF THIS
IS TO GET NONTRADITIONAL
STUDENTS THAT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
REACH A CAP CLASSROOM SETTING.
FOR THE INSTRUCTIONAL COURSE
WORK OF COURSE THIS WILL BE A-
AN IN PERSON STUDENT TEACHING
COMPONENT. BUT WE SHARE THOSE
CONCERNS WE'VE BUILT A PRETTY
ROBUST. STRUCTURE FOR THIS
PROGRAM OR SIMPLY THIS THIS
ELIGIBILITY INCREASE TO OPERATE
IN- AND MORE THAN HAPPY TO TAKE
ANY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS YOUR
YOUR STAFF MAY HAVE FOLLOWING
REVIEW OF THAT- HE'S LEGISLATION
. THANK YOU THANK YOU ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE. CENTERMAN YEAH I JUST
WANTED TO INQUIRE IN A COUPLE
THESE ARE OBVIOUSLY AGAIN
BUDGETS ARE ABOUT CHOICES AND
THERE'S A LOT OF CHOICES WE HAVE
TO MAKE HERE. BUT I DID FIND YOU
KNOW IT IS A PRETTY STEEP CUT
OBVIOUSLY TO THE ARTS MUSIC
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS BLOCK
GRANT- AT THE SAME TIME I SEE
SOME THINGS LIKE THE E. LOP
PROGRAM WHICH I BUT AS I
UNDERSTAND IT HAS NOT BEEN RULED
OUT YET. I HAS NOT SEEN ANY CUTS
WE DID WE ARE IN THE WRONG PANEL
YEAH WE'RE GETTING THERE OKAY
WE'RE ON STUDENT AID COMMISSION
FIVE AND I'VE GOT MORE GETTING
THAT ON THIS ONE FORGET ABOUT IT
GOT YOU DID A GREAT JOB OF. OF
HIGHLIGHTING WHAT YOU'RE GOING
TO ASK ABOUT IT IN THE PANEL SO
THAT'S GREAT. ALTHOUGH ACTUALLY.
MISTER BRICKNER DO YOU HAVE ANY-
OPINION ON THE LAW. YOU KNOW
I'LL DEFER TO COLLEAGUES THAT
ONE. OKAY AND ON BROKE MY OWN
RULE HOUSTON AKRON. SO- OKAY
ANYTHING ON THIS ITEM. THANK YOU
FOR VERY PRODUCTIVE- DISCUSSION
. BREAKING FOR THE CHILDREN. I
WOULDN'T TAKE. ONE OR TWO MINUTE
BREAK SO THAT. SLICE OKAY. WHAT
WERE JUST GONNA PAUSE FOR SEX
BECAUSE WERE. THIS OUT OF
VARIOUS. AS TO SUB. WERE YEAR.
BUT IN A MORE. WE WILL. TO PART
B. AND THE FIRST ISSUE IN PART
BE.
OKAY WELCOME EVERYONE- WE'RE
GONNA MOVE TO PART B. WHICH IS-
PRE K. THROUGH TWELVE AND TWO WE
APPRECIATE EVERYBODY THAT
PARTICIPATED IN OUR FIRST FIVE
ISSUES IN HIGHER EDUCATION AND
THESE ARE THE MAJOR REVISED
PROPOSALS IN THIS ERA. OUR OUR
AREA AND WE HAVE- A PRETE
SAYINGS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE CAN COUPON FROM THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE WE
HAVE THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
SO OF LATCH. ON BEGIN WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINE WELCOME TO
THE COMMITTEE. AND I THINK
THERE'S A MIKE ISSUE THERE. GOOD
MORNING KAREN MEMBERS I'M INSANE
WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE.
I WILL BE DISCUSSING THEIR
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
GUARANTEE FOR A. T. K. THROUGH
TWELVE EDUCATION AND THE MAYOR
VISION. THE MAY REVISION
ESTIMATES THAT THERE PROP NINETY
EIGHT GUARANTEE AMOUNT FOR THE
BUDGET YEAR WILL BE ONE HUNDRED
SIX POINT EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS
THIS IS TWO BILLION DOLLARS
LOWER THAN FORECAST AT
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. AND IN THE
THREE YEAR BUDGET WINDOW THE
GUARANTEE IS EXPECTED TO
DECREASE BY ONE POINT NINE
BILLION DOLLARS RELATIVE TO THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. ALL BUDGET
YEARS REMAIN IN A TEST ONE WHICH
MEANS THAT PROPOSITION NINETY
EIGHT RECEIVED ABOUT 39% OF THE
REVENUE CHANGES IN EACH OF THE
THREE YEARS ON THE BUDGET WINDOW
. THE GUARANTEE IS REVENGE TO
REFLECT THE CONTINUED
IMPLEMENTATION OF UNIVERSAL
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN MANY
EDUCATION PROGRAMS ARE SAVE US
STATUTORY COST OF LIVING
ADJUSTMENT OR COLA. AND THE
COLOR REFLECTED IN THE MAY
REVISION IS EIGHT POINT 22%
WHICH IS MENTIONED BY MY
COLLEAGUES IN THE PREVIOUS
PANELS AND THAT IS UP FROM THE
RATE OF EIGHT POINT 13% WHICH IS
ESTIMATED UP THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET. THE PERCENTAGE CHANGE IN
AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE OR
EIGHTY EIGHT FROM THE CURRENT
YEAR TO THE BUDGET YEAR IS
EXPECTED TO BE ZERO POINT 28%
WHICH INDICATES SLIGHT GROWTH.
EIGHTY EIGHT CONTINUES TO BE A
LOWER SHARE OF ENROLLMENT THAN
PRIOR TO THE COVERED NINETEEN
PANDEMIC. WITH A ENROLLMENT
ESTIMATED AT NINETY ONE POINT 4%
IN THE CURRENT YEAR COMPARED TO
ABOUT 9596% PRE COVE IT. THE
PROPOSITION TWENTY EIGHT ARTS
AND MUSIC IN SCHOOLS ACT WHICH
PASSED LAST NOVEMBER REQUIRES
ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT EQUAL
21% OF THE PRIOR YEAR'S
GUARANTEE LEVEL. THE FIRST
PROPOSITION TWENTY A
APPROPRIATION WILL BE IN THE
BUDGET YEAR AND IT WILL BE WITH
A SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT OF NINE
HUNDRED THIRTY THREE MILLION
DOLLARS- BEGINNING AND FISCAL
YEAR TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE
PROP TWENTY EIGHT WILL BE
PERMANENTLY REVENGE AND TO THE
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
GUARANTEE. NEXT I'LL MOVE ONTO
THEIR PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT.
RAINY DAY FUND. THE MAJOR
VERSION ESTIMATES A TEN POINT
SEVEN BILLION DOLLAR PAYMENT TO
THE RAINY DAY FUND WHICH IS TWO
POINT TWO BILLION DOLLARS HIGHER
THAN A GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. DUE TO
CAPITAL GAINS REVENUES BEING
HIGHER IN THE MAY REVISION
FORECAST THAN PREVIOUSLY
ESTIMATED. THE MAY REVISION DOES
NOT REFLECT A DISCRETIONARY WITH
DRAW FROM THE RAINY DAY FUND AS
A CREEK CRITERIA FOR WITHDRAWAL
HAVE NOT BEEN SATISFIED. NEXT
I'LL HIGHLIGHT NOTABLE K.
THROUGH TWELVE INVESTMENTS AND
UPDATES AND IN THE INTEREST OF
TIME ALL STICK TO THE- ITEMS
WITH THE GREATEST BUDGETARY
IMPACT. THE MAYOR VISION
CONTINUES TO FULLY FUND
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN
EXPANSION HOWEVER DUE TO
DECREASES IN PROJECTED T. K. ATA
WE ESTIMATE SAVINGS OF. THREE
HUNDRED MILLION IN THE CURRENT
YEAR AND THREE HUNDRED NINETY
SIX MILLION IN THE BUDGET YEAR
AT MAYOR VISION COMPARED TO
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. FOR UNIVERSAL
SCHOOL MEALS THE MAYOR VISION
PROVIDES AN ADDITIONAL ONE
HUNDRED TEN MILLION DOLLARS IN
THE CURRENT YEAR AND ONE HUNDRED
NINETY ONE MILLION DOLLARS IN
THE BUDGET YEAR TO FUND REVISED
ESTIMATES. TO SUPPORT UNIVERSAL
SCHOOL MEALS. THE MAYOR VISION
PROVIDES EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS
FOR JUVENILE COURT AND COMMUNITY
SCHOOLS TO ADDRESS THE UNIQUE
NEEDS OF THOSE SCHOOLS. AND FOR
THE CALIFORNIA STATE PRESCHOOL
PROGRAM THE MAYOR VISION
INCLUDES A FIFTY THREE MILLION
DOLLAR REDUCTION IN COSTS TO
SUPPORT PRESCHOOL REIMBURSEMENT
RATE INCREASES THAT ARE
CURRENTLY SUPPORTED BY LIMITED
TERM FEDERAL FUNDS. THERE'S ALSO
A FIFTY TWO MILLION DOLLAR COLOR
REDUCTION AND THESE REDUCTIONS
ARE TO ADJUST FOR THE FACT THAT
THERE'S A LOWER NUMBER OF
CONTRACTORS THAN FORECAST THAT
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. WE'VE
OUTLINED SEVERAL K. THROUGH
TWELVE ACTIONS AND SOLUTIONS TO
PRIORITIZE PROPOSITION NINETY
EIGHT SPENDING IN THE MAYOR OF
ISSHIN. FIRST THE MAYOR VISION
PROPOSES A NINE SIX HUNDRED
EIGHTY NINE MILLION DOLLAR
DECREASE TO SUPPORT THE COLA AND
HER FLECKED FURTHER ENROLLMENT
DECLINES FOR THE DISTRICT AND
CHARTER LCF OFF. FOR A NET
INCREASE OF ROUGHLY THREE POINT
FOUR BILLION WHEN COMBINED WITH
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. THERE IS A
THIRTY SIX POINT TWO MILLION
DOLLAR INCREASE TO SUPPORT COLA
AND GROWTH ADJUSTMENTS FOR
COUNTY LCF FOR A NET INCREASE OF
EIGHTY EIGHT MILLION ONE
COMBINED WITH GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
. A ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION
DOLLAR DECREASE TO SUPPORT COLOR
FOR CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS FOR A
NET INCREASE OF ROUGHLY FIVE
HUNDRED FIFTY FIVE MILLION. TWO
POINT ONE MILLION TO. INCREASE
TO SUPPORT INFLATIONARY COSTS IN
THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
INFORMATION SERVICES PROGRAM.
TWO MILLION DOLLARS TO INCREASE
SUPPORT. TO INCREASE SUPPORT FOR
EQUITY LEADS THAT WOULD ASSIST
DISTRICTS AND CHARTER SCHOOL
EFFORTS TO CLOSE. ACHIEVEMENT
GAPS. BECAUSE AVAILABLE
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
RESOURCES HAVE DECLINED BETWEEN
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET AND THE MAYOR
OF VISION. THE CURRENT PROPOSAL
INCLUDES MULTIPLE BUDGETARY
SOLUTIONS INCLUDING ADJUSTMENTS
OF ONE TIME RESOURCES WHICH WE
DID DISCUSS IN THE PREVIOUS
PANEL. THE FIRST IS UTILIZING AN
ADDITIONAL ONE POINT FIVE
BILLION DOLLARS IN ONE TIME
RESOURCES TO SUPPORT THE LC F.
IN THE BUDGET YEAR. FOR NOT
TOTAL OF ROUGHLY THREE BILLION
DOLLARS WHEN COMBINED WITH THIS-
THE SAME PROPOSAL OUT GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET. THE SECOND IS REDUCING
TWENTY TWENTY TWO BUDGET AX
SUPPORT FOR THE ARTS MUSIC AND
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS
DISCRETIONARY BLOCK GRANT BY AN
ADDITIONAL SIX HUNDRED SEVEN
MILLION DOLLARS. FOR NET TOTAL
OF ROUGHLY ONE POINT EIGHT
BILLION WHEN COMBINED WITH
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. THIS TAKES
TOTAL SUPPORT FOR THE PROGRAM
FROM ROUGHLY THREE POINT SIX
BILLION DOLLARS. TO ROUGHLY ONE
POINT EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS.
THIRD IS REDUCING TWENTY TWENTY
TWO BY JACK SUPPORT FOR THE
LEARNING RECOVERY BLOCK GRANT BY
TWO POINT FIVE BILLION DOLLARS
TAKING SUPPORT FOR THE PROGRAM
DOWN FROM. ROUGHLY SEVEN POINT
NINE BILLION TO FIVE POINT FOUR
BILLION DOLLARS. THE ARTS AND
MUSIC AND LEARNING RECOVERY BUT
CURRENT REDUCTIONS ARE
ADJUSTMENTS OF ONE TIME
RESOURCES. WITH THESE CHANGES
THE STATE IS REASONABLY
POSITIONS TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING
AND MAINTAINING CRITICAL ONGOING
EDUCATION INVESTMENTS AND THE
MULTI YEAR WINDOW. THAT INCLUDES
MY OVERVIEW OF THE NOTABLE
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT ITEMS
IN THE MAYOR VISION. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH WE'RE GONNA. MOVE TO
THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE
THANK YOU CHAIR AND MEMBERS CAN
COUPON WITH THE ANALYST'S OFFICE
WE HAVE A HANDOUT THAT COVERS
ALL OF OUR ANALYSIS AND AS WE'VE
BEEN TEASING ALL MORNING THIS
WILL COVER OVERALL COMMENTS ON
THE GUARANTEE AND THE
ARCHITECTURE OF THE K. TWELVE
SPENDING PLAN- FOR K. TWELVE
BUDGET FOR. ACROSS K. FOURTEEN
EDUCATION- THIS MAY REVISION
REFLECTS THE BUDGET PICTURE-
THAT REMAINS MANAGEABLE BUT HAS
CLEARLY WEAKENED OVER THE PAST
YEAR. YOU'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT-
MIXED SIGNALS AND ECONOMIC
UNCERTAINTY OVER THE PAST FEW
DAYS AND PAST FEW MONTHS. AND
THAT POINT IS WELL TAKEN BUT
WHAT SEEMS A BIT MORE CERTAIN AT
THIS POINT IS THAT STATE
REVENUES ARE ARE HAVE ALREADY
ENTERED A DOWNTURN- MOST NOTABLY
A PERSONAL INCOME TAX
WITHHOLDING HAS BEEN BELOW LAST
YEAR'S RATE. EVERY MONTH SINCE
LAST FALL AND WE'VE SEEN CHRIS
SALES TAX COLLECTIONS-
CONSISTENTLY BELOW EXPECTATIONS
TOO. WE SEE MORE DOWNSIDE THAN
UPSIDE TO THE ADMINISTRATION'S
REVENUE ESTIMATES- WE FEEL IT
TOO TWO AND THREE POSSIBILITY
THAT REVENUES ARE LOWER THAN
WHAT IS REFLECTED IN THE MAY
REVISION. OF THE MID POINT OF
OUR ESTIMATE TO OUR OUR BEST
GUESS OUR BEST ESTIMATE IF YOU
WILL ABOUT TEN OR ELEVEN
BILLION. LOWER OVER THE THREE
YEARS OBVIOUSLY A WIDE RANGE OF
UNCERTAINTY AROUND THAT. UNDER
THAT SCENARIO THE PROPOSITION
NINETY EIGHT GUARANTEE. HOLDING
EVERYTHING ELSE CONSTANT WOULD
DROP FOR AROUND FOUR BILLION OR
NEARLY FORTY CENTS FOR EACH
DOLLAR LOWER REVENUE. SOME
PORTION OF THAT COULD BE
MITIGATED BY SOMEWHAT HIGHER
PROPERTY TAX REVENUE WE ALREADY
TALKED ABOUT THAT. WE ALSO HAVE
SOME DIFFERENCES FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION AND OUR ESTIMATE.
OF THE SHARE OF THE OVERALL
REVENUES ATTRIBUTABLE TO CAPITAL
GAINS NOW THAT MIGHT SOUND LIKE
ONE OF THOSE BEHIND THE SCENES.
FOR CASTING THE BATES THAT JUST
SPILLED INTO THE OPEN BUT IT HAS
MORE OF A PRACTICAL EFFECT THIS
YEAR- BECAUSE- IT AFFECTS IT'S
THE KEY FACTOR AFFECTING THE POT
DEPOSITS INTO THE PROPOSITION
NINETY EIGHT RESERVE. WHERE IS
THE ADMINISTRATION HAS AN
ADDITIONAL TWO POINT TWO BILLION
IN DEPOSITS. COMPARED WITH
JANUARY. BASED ON HIGHER CAPITAL
GAINS ESTIMATES ARE OUTLOOK
ANTICIPATES- REDUCTIONS IN
CAPITAL GAINS AND NO INCREASE IN
REQUIRED DEPOSITS. I TRAINING TO
K. TWELVE SPENDING THIS IS PAGE
FOUR OF YOUR HAND OUT OF FOCUS
ON THE BROADER PICTURE- THE MAY
REVISION OVERALL REDUCES KEIKO
SPENDING BY FOUR BILLION
COMPARED WITH THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET. AND I THINK YOU CAN
THINK OF THOSE CHANGES IS
FALLING INTO THREE BASIC
CATEGORIES. THERE'S A REDUCTION
IN COST ESTIMATES FOR THE LOCAL
CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA. I'D OF
ABOUT ONE BILLION THAT MAINLY
AFFECTS THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE SCORING SOME ADDITIONAL
SAVINGS FROM DECLINES IN STUDENT
ATTENDANCE THAT HAPPENED OVER
THE PAST FEW YEARS. OFFSET BY
SOME A HANDFUL OF SMALLER ON
GOING INCREASES. AUTHORIZED AND
IT THREE POINT TWO BILLION AND
REDUCTIONS- TWO GRANTS THE STATE
APPROVED LAST YEAR. MAINLY THE
ARTS MUSIC CONSTRUCTION
MATERIALS BLACK GRANT AND
LEARNING THE COVERAGE BLOCK
GRANT. AND THERE'S A HUNDRED AND
THIRTY EIGHT MILLION IN VARIOUS
SMALLER ONE TIME INCREASES. I
WITH THOSE LOWER REVENUES
ASSEMBLY DIFFICULT TRADE OFFS
ARE PROBABLY UNAVOIDABLE. BUT WE
THINK THE MAY REVISION IS MOVING
IN THE WRONG DIRECTION COMPARED
TO JANUARY. THE JANUARY BUDGET
HAD PROPOSED REDUCING SOME
EXISTING PROGRAMS TO MAKE ROOM
FOR NEW PROPOSALS. THE MIRAGEN
RETAINS ALL ALL OF THE JANUARY
PROPOSAL'S ADDS EVEN MORE NEW
PROPOSALS AND DOES SO AMIDST AN
EVEN WEAKER REVENUE ENVIRONMENT.
FOR EVEN MORE CONCERNED ABOUT
THE STATE'S ABILITY TO SUSTAIN
ALL OF THOSE COMMITMENTS MOVING
FORWARD- THEY REVISION ALSO
PROPOSES EVEN MORE REDUCTIONS TO
FUNDING TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS
ALREADY HAVE IN HAND- THE
LARGEST IS THE TWO POINT FIVE
BILLION REDUCTION TO THE
LEARNING RECOVERY BLOCK GRANT.
WHICH REPRESENTS FUNDS THAT
SCHOOL DISTRICTS RECEIVED BACK
IN MARCH. I THINK OUR BIGGEST
CONCERN IS THAT THE MAY REVISION
REALIZE EVEN MORE ON ONE TIME
FUNDS TO COVER ONGOING COSTS.
INCLUDING A MOST THREE BILLION
TO COVER- THE LOCAL CONTROL
FUNDING FORMULA- THAT APPROACH
CREATES A DEFICIT IN YOUR BUDGET
MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE THOSE
ONGOING COSTS. I CONTINUE BUT
THAT ONE TIME FUNDING ISN'T
AVAILABLE THE FOLLOWING YEAR.
THOSE ARE ALL SIGNIFICANT
STRUCTURAL ISSUES AND WE THINK
THEY'RE GOING TO BE DIFFICULT TO
ADDRESS BY MAKING ONLY SMALL
REFINEMENTS TO THE MUSICIAN.
WOULD RECOMMEND AN ALTERNATIVE
STARTING POINT. WHAT WE'VE
CALLED THE BASELINE SOMETHING
MORE LIKE A BASELINE BUDGET.
INSTEAD OF THE MAY REVISION FOR
SPENDING FRAMEWORK AND THAT'S
OUTLINED ON PAGE SEVEN OF YOUR
HAND OUT. ASSEMBLY THIS
FRAMEWORK STARTS BY REJECTING
ALL OF THE MAJOR NEW ONE TIME
AND I'M GOING SPENDING PROPOSALS
FROM JANUARY AND MAY. AND
INSTEAD. ONLY FUNDING
AUGMENTATIONS WERE LOOKING AT
SMALLER PROPOSALS THAT OUR
WORKLOAD RELATED ARE POTENTIALLY
A HEALTH AND SAFETY RELATED. IT
ALSO STARTS WITHOUT MAKING
REDUCTIONS TO THE GRANTS AND-
PROGRAMS YOU APPROVED LAST YEAR.
AND IT AVOIDS CREATING ONGOING
DEFICITS BY ALIGNING THE
COLLABORATE WITH THE AMOUNT OF
ON GOING FUNDING AVAILABLE. IN
PRACTICAL TERMS WHAT THAT WOULD
MEAN IS THAT THE STATE COULD
STILL COVER A FIVE POINT 1% COLA
FOR EXISTING PROGRAMS. THAT'S
LESS THAN THE STATUTORY RATE BUT
STILL HIGH BY HISTORICAL
STANDARDS AND MUCH HIGHER THAN
THE INCREASE FOR MOST OTHER
STATE PROGRAMS. AND FOR L. C. F.
F. IT WOULD STILL REPRESENT A
19% INCREASE OVER THE PAST TWO
YEARS COMBINED. THIS ALSO WOULD
NEED FAR FEWER REDUCTION TO
PROBE IN THE CURRENT YEAR. OF
THE MIRAGEN CONTAINS A TOTAL OF
ABOUT FIVE POINT ONE BILLION- IN
REDUCTIONS ACROSS ALL K.
FOURTEEN PROGRAMS. UNDER THE
BASELINE BUDGET YOU WOULD ONLY
NEED ABOUT ONE POINT FIVE
BILLION AND SOLUTIONS. AND WE
THINK YOU COULD ACHIEVE THE
REDUCTIONS ARE SOLUTIONS.
WITHOUT REDUCING FUNDING THAT
HAS ALREADY BEEN ALLOCATED TO
DISTRICTS. I TURNING TO PAGE
EIGHT WE THINK THAT APPROACH
WOULD HAVE A COUPLE OF
ADVANTAGES. WE THINK IT'S LESS
DISRUPTIVE FOR DISTRICTS HAVE
ALREADY MADE PLANS TO SPEND THE
FUNDING THEY RECEIVED LAST YEAR-
INCLUDING ON PRIORITIES LIKE.
LEARNING RECOVERY. I THINK IT
PUTS THE STATE IN A BETTER
POSITION TO DEAL WITH POTENTIAL
DOWNTURNS. OR WEAKNESS THAT
MEDIC THAT MIGHT EMERGE IF THE
ECONOMY CONTINUES TO WORSEN. AND
IMPORTANTLY IT PRESERVES YOUR
FLEXIBILITY IF THE STATE ADOPTS
THE MAY REVISION. SOME OR EVEN
ALL OF THE ANY INCREASE IN THE
GUARANTEE NEXT YEAR MIGHT BE
TAKEN UP BY ADDRESSING THE
DEFICIT THAT EXISTS IN TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR. THAT IS BEING
AVAILABLE TO FUND COLA OR OTHER
PRIORITIES THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE-
ARE OUR SUGGESTION THE START
WITH A BASELINE BUDGET- ISN'T-
SOMETHING THAT PRESENT AS A AS A
TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT
RECOMMENDATION. OF COURSE MANY
VARIATIONS AND REFINEMENTS ARE
POSSIBLE. WE THINK STARTING FROM
THAT POINT- IT IS GOING TO LEAD
TO A BETTER FINISHED PRODUCT AND
SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE BIT
MORE ALIGNED WITH SOME OF THE
PRIORITIES- THAT YOU'VE HAD.
WHEN YOU ADOPTED LAST YEAR'S
BUDGET AS WELL AS THE THINGS
YOU'VE ARTICULATED IN THE
SUBCOMMITTEE HEARINGS THIS YEAR-
MY COLLEAGUES HERE IF YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS ON SPECIFIC ITEMS
BUT THAT CONCLUDES OUR COMMENTS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. SIR
ANYBODY HERE FROM THE DEPARTMENT
OF CASH. GOOD MORNING MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS MALLY AVELLA
DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENTS FROM THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION ON BEHALF OF STATE
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION TONY THURMOND. WE
RECOGNIZE THE STATE'S CURRENT
BUDGET CLIMATE IS LESS THAN
IDEAL. AND WE APPRECIATE THE
ADMINISTRATION. SUBMITTING A
REVISED BUDGET THAT DEMONSTRATES
A CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO
EDUCATION. WHAT WE UNDERSTAND
THE NEED FOR A LITTLE BIT OF
TIGHTENING AROUND THE BUDGET- WE
WANT TO EXPRESS OUR CONCERNS
REGARDING THE PROPOSED CUTS TO
GRANTS FROM LAST YEAR. NAMELY
THE ARTS MUSIC AND INSTRUCTIONAL
MATERIALS BLOCK GRANT AND THE
LEARNING RECOVERY EMERGENCY
BLOCK GRANT. AS MANY OF OUR
ELEAZAR HAVE ALREADY PLANNED
EXPENDITURES AND UTILIZATION
USING THOSE FUNDS. WE URGE THE
LEGISLATURE TO CONSIDER
RESTORING THOSE PROPOSED CUTS AS
SOON AS THE REVENUE PICTURE
IMPROVES- ENSURE THE LEGISLATURE
MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PROPOSED
REVISIONS. WE ALSO UNDERSTAND
THE NEED FOR TEMPORARY MEASURES
GIVEN THE CURRENT BUDGET
CONSTRAINTS BUT EMPHASIZED THE
IMPORTANCE OF RESTORING THESE
PROGRAMS- MAINLY BECAUSE THEY
ARE INVESTMENTS AND MAKING SURE
THAT OUR STERN STUDENTS CAN
CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE THEIR
LEARNING. AND ADDRESS MENTAL
HEALTH CONCERNS. WE ALSO WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT SOME POSITIVE ASPECTS
OF THE MAY REVISION SPECIFICALLY
WERE SUPPORTIVE OF THE INCLUSION
OF WORK AROUND RESTORATIVE
JUSTICE. BILINGUAL EDUCATORS
READING READINESS AND LITERACY
SUPPORTS. THESE INITIATIVES STEM
FROM BILLS THAT STATE
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION HAS SPONSORED. WE'RE
ALSO SUPPORTIVE OF THE COLON TO
LCF OFF. WHICH WILL HELP OUR
ELEAZAR HAVE FLEXIBILITY TO MEET
OUR LOCAL NEEDS. WE ARE
DEDICATED TO WORKING
COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE
LEGISLATURE AND ADMINISTRATION
TO ENSURE THAT THE BUDGET
ULTIMATELY ALIGNS WITH THE NEEDS
OF OUR STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS
ARE COMMITTED TO SHARING ANY
RELEVANT INFORMATION AND
ADVOCATING FOR SOCIAL PROGRAMS
AND RESOURCES. IN CONCLUSION
WELL WE UNDERSTAND THE
CHALLENGES PRESENTED BY THE
CURRENT BUDGET CLIMATE WE
APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS TO
PRIORITIZE EDUCATION WHILE
ALLOWING FOR FLEXIBILITY TO MEET
LOCAL NEEDS WITH THE COLA. WE
URGE THE LEGISLATURE TO CONSIDER
RESTORING NECESSARY PROGRAMS IN
THE FUTURE AND ASSURE YOU OF OUR
COMMITMENT TO WORKING TOGETHER.
AT THAT CONCLUDES MY COMMENTS
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- I'M GONNA
MAKE A COUPLE COMMENTS AND LET
OTHER MEMBERS ASK QUESTIONS
FIRST AND THEN COME IN BEHIND
AND WE HAD AN ANIMATED
DISCUSSION ON THE PARTS BLOCK
GRANT ALREADY IT CAME UP IN THE
EARLIER PART OF THE HEARING. A
LOT OF- DISTRICTS HAVE FAR.
COLLECTIVELY BARGAINED PARTS OF
IT IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT THING
AND WE ARE STILL VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT IT I JUST WANT TO DO THAT-
AND THEN WE HAD IN THE PREVIOUS.
ITEM ON COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO
DISCUSSION ABOUT THE PROP NINETY
EIGHT OVERALL REVENUES AND HOW
THEY FIT TOGETHER AND SOME OF
THE THINGS AND SO. IT'S NOT THAT
WERE NOT CONCERNED WE HAD THAT
DISCUSSION ALREADY. SO BEFORE I
ASK ANY QUESTIONS LET ME ASK IF
THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF COMMITTEE
MEMBERS. I BELIEVE ALREADY
STARTED ASKING SOMETHING I'LL
CONTINUE- SENATORS IN ON THE
WEST A PANEL- SHOOTING THE GUN A
LITTLE QUICKLY HERE- JUST WANTED
TO GET A SENSE OF WHY WE MADE
CERTAIN CHOICES EITHER AS WAS
MENTIONED THERE'S SOME STEEP
CUTS TO. THE ARTS MUSIC
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS-
DISCRETIONARY BLOCK GRANT
THERE'S SOME OTHER CUTS I WILL
SAY I REALLY DO APPLAUD AND WANT
TO JUST GIVE MY THANKS TO ALL
FOR ENSURING THAT WE KEEP THE
CALL INCREASE. I THINK THAT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW IS
WE'RE FACING. A CRITICAL TEACHER
SHORTFALLS IN LARGE PARTS OF THE
STATE- OUR SCHOOLS ARE VERY
IMPORTANT AND I THINK WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE CORE THERE IS
STRONG- BUT BUT I JUST WAS
WONDERING IN PARTICULAR I'M
LOOKING AT SCHOOL NUTRITION
WHICH IS GETTING INCREASED NO
CUTS. I AND I KNOW FROM MY
LOCALS THAT THERE'S A LOT OF
WASTED HERE- THE LAW PROGRAM
WHICH IS FOUR BILLION HAS. I
DON'T BELIEVE ANY CUTS AND I'M
NOT I'M I BELIEVE MY
UNDERSTANDINGS AND EXPLAIN TO ME
THAT THAT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN
ROLLED OUT YET- THAT WE'VE GOT.
OTHER THINGS IN HERE- AND I
GUESS MY QUESTION IS WHAT WHY
DID NOT TOUCH ON THESE PRETTY
THE ONES THAT HAVE NOT YET
ROLLED OUT AS FAR AS PAYMENTS-
WHY NOT DEFERRED THESE A LITTLE
BIT WHITE WHITE WIRE CERTAIN
PROGRAMS NOT BEING TOUCHED- AND
WHERE OTHERS BEING IMPACTED SO
DRAMATICALLY AND I GUESS I FIRST
WANT TO START WITH DEPARTMENT
EDUCATION RALLY- AND JUST GET
YOUR THOUGHTS ON. ON YOUR DESIGN
THE BUDGET I KNOW WE TALKED
ABOUT A BASE BUDGET HERE BUT
LIKE. WHAT WOULD BE SOME OF THAT
TRADE OFFS THAT YOU MIGHT
CONSIDER HIM. A GROUP BOTH THE
L. A. O. I THINK JUST TO CLARIFY
IN TERMS OF THE- PROGRAM. IT HAS
BEEN RULED OUT THAT THE PROGRAM
WAS CREATED IN. IN TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWO WITH ONE POINT SEVEN
FIVE BILLION DOLLARS AND I WAS
INCREASED TO FOUR BILLION DOLLAR
STARTING IN TWENTY TWENTY THREE.
WHAT WE HAVE TO THE MONEY IS OUT
THE DOOR WHAT WE HAVE HEARD IS A
LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT. BEING
ABLE TO STAFF UP THE PROGRAM IN
THE PROGRAM. AND THERE IS-
BECAUSE OF THE- UP TO UNDERSTAND
YOU THE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
ABOUT SERVING. ALL STUDENTS
THEIR FAMILIES WERE INTERESTED
DOESN'T KICK IN UNTIL TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR SO FOR THE
FIRST TWO YEARS. THERE HAVE BEEN
ANY SPECIFIC PROGRAM
REQUIREMENTS SO WE DO IT YOUR
POINT WE DO RECOMMEND THERE'S A
POP UP. TRAILER BILL CHANGE IN
THE IN THE MIRROR VISION THAT
WOULD ALLOW. WOULD EXTEND
ANOTHER YEAR. ON THE ABILITY TO
KEEP THESE FUNDS SO THAT THEY
DON'T RIVER BACK TO THE STATE-
THAT THE TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO
FUNDS WERE SUPPOSED TO REVERT.
OFFENSIVE WE HAVE UNTIL THE END
OF THIS YEAR TO SPEND THOSE
FUNDS. THE MAYOR IS AN EXTENSIVE
TRADITIONAL YEAR. WE DON'T THINK
THAT'S NECESSARY CONSIDERING
THAT THE THAT DISTRICTS ARE
GETTING FOUR BILLION DOLLARS ON
AN ANNUAL BASIS TO RUN THE
PROGRAM IF THEY DON'T HAVE. IF
THEY DIDN'T USE THAT MONEY TO
RAMP UP THE PROGRAM IN TWENTY
ONE TWENTY TWO WE DON'T THINK
IT'S NECESSARY. AND TO THE
EXTENT THAT THAT FUNDING COMES
BACK- IT MEANS THAT NEXT YEAR AS
PART OF OUR BUDGET CONVERSATIONS
THAT WOULD BE ONE TIME PROP
NINETY FUNDING AVAILABLE TO
ADDRESS ANY. A POTENTIAL. THEM
FOR. IN TERMS OF THE GNU- ARE.
THAT IS MORE OF A THAT'S- YOU
KNOW THE STATE. ENACTED THE PA.
OF UNIVERSE MEALS FOR OFFERED.
SO ARE FOR ALL FOR ALL STUDENTS
SO. BAD IS THE COMMITMENT AND-
THE ADMINISTRATION IS. I THINK
IT'S RECEIVE THIS INFORMATION
FROM THE DEPARTMENT THAT OVER
TIME WILL BE SEEN AS A- A
GREATER NUMBER OF UP. WHAT WE
CALL PAID MEALS AND SO THAT'S
UNDER THE FEDERAL PROGRAM- ONLY
THE- THE- STUDENTS WHO QUALIFY
FOR FREE OR REDUCED PRICE LUNCH
RECEIVABLE SUBSIDIZE. MEALS THE
STATE IS ESSENTIALLY COVERING
THE COSTS OF THE FAMILIES WHO
ARE NOT. THE STATE PROGRAM IS
COVERING THE COST FOR THE MEALS
FOR- FAMILIES WERE NOT LOW
INCOME AND SO THERE'S BEEN AN
INCREASE IN THOSE NUMBER OF
MEALS. COMPARED TO WHAT WAS
BUDGETED AND THAT'S WHY THOSE
COSTS SO THAT'S- ABOUT SORT OF.
HIGHER COST OF THE POLICY THAT
WAS. ENACTED A COUPLE OF YEARS
AGO. SECOND YOUR. AT TO START
THINK. THE SUMMARY. THE SCHOOL
NEW. IS APPS. CORRECT IT'S
REALLY. TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
MAKING THE PROGRAM'S HOLE-
BECAUSE THERE WAS AN INCREASED.
COST TO THOSE PROGRAMS. BASED
OFF OF THE STUDENTS THAT HAVE
BEEN SERVED- IT REGARDING THE
ELO PEER EXPANDED LEARNING
OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM. I KNOW
THAT WE HAVE A RULE HERE AGAINST
A USING ACRONYMS- BUT BUT FOR
THAT PROGRAM REALLY AND- THERE
HAVE BEEN CAPACITY ISSUES WE ARE
TRYING. THAT WE'VE SEEN OUR
ELEAZAR REALLY TRY TO ROLL THOSE
OUT THAT THEY ARE GEARED TOWARDS
CASE SIX- AS COOLS AND SO WE ARE
TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
CAN GET UP AND RUNNING THERE'S
BEEN A LOT OF WORK DONE ON THAT
AND SO TO KIND OF PULL BACK NOW.
WOULD REDUCE THE FUNDS NOW- WHEN
THEY'RE AT THIS CRITICAL
JUNCTURE OF REALLY GETTING IT
ROLLED OUT FOR NEXT YEAR. WE
THINK WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO
THE INTENT OF THE PROGRAM. AND
IS THAT SAME LOGIC AROUND TK'S
WELL BECAUSE I SEE WERE
EXPANDING TO HIT THIS THAT WE'RE
GETTING AND ROLLED OUT SO. YES
ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
OTHER QUESTIONS. UNDER SMALLWOOD
CUEVAS I JUST WANT TO- JUST
REITERATE THAT HAS SUPPORTED US-
IN AN ADMINISTRATION WORKING IN
TO ESTABLISH THIS COLON MAKE
SURE WE'RE KEEPING PACE WITH
INFLATION AND THE COST OF LIVING
FOR SO MANY OF OUR- EDUCATION
WORKERS. I DID HAVE A QUESTION-
ABOUT THE- LEADERSHIP
DEVELOPMENT TRAINING WHICH I WAS
GLAD TO SEE THE ANTI BIAS
TRAINING INCLUDED- IN THE MAY.
REVISE CAN CAN YOU SAY MORE
ABOUT WHAT THIS. PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT LEADERSHIP TRAINING
. IS. BACKGROUND WITH AN
APARTMENT FINANCED I MIGHT HAVE
TO TURN THE MONICA. CAN YOU HEAR
ME OK CERTAINLY IN A GREAT
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE SO- THAT'S
AN ADDITIONAL ONE MILLION ON
GOING THEY'VE RECEIVED TWO
MILLION FOR SOME TIME NOW FOR
THIS WORK THIS WOULD SUPPORT
COUNTY OFFICES- THIS FUNDING
GOES ALREADY TO THE TWO MILLION
THIS WOULD BE THREE MILLION.
GOES TO THE COUNTY OFFICE OF-
LOS ANGELES COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION AND THIS WOULD
SUPPORT- ANTI BIAS TRAINING FOR
AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT-
FOR US FOR LEADERSHIP TRAINING
AND IT SUPPORTS. THE MOBILE
MUSEUM PROJECT THAT THEY HAVE.
IF YOU FOR CLEAR FOR I JUST
WANNA TO MAKE SURE THAT I WAS ON
THE SAME PAGE OF WHAT THAT MEANT
THANK YOU SO MUCH. CENTER MENU
AT ANOTHER CALL I JUST HAD A
REALLY QUICK QUESTION- AS VICE
CHAIR THE A PILLAR KA WE'RE I
THINK ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT- AND
INVESTED IN THE ROLL OUT OF THE
ETHNIC STUDIES PROGRAM. AND I
JUST WAS HOPING TO SPEAK ON THAT
I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS A
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.
APPROPRIATE IF YEARS BACK IN
JUST THE STATUS OF THAT I
UNDERSTAND THE PROGRAM WOULD
REQUIRE SOMETHING LIKE TWO
HUNDRED SEVENTY SIX MILLION
DOLLARS- AND SO I JUST WANTED TO
GET AN UPDATE FROM ANY YOU ON ON
THE STATUS OF THAT. AND WHETHER
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN
PRIORITIZE IN THIS BUDGET. BUT
MAYBE NINETY YOU HAVE TO ANSWER
OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD SO IT
LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE SOME COMING
UP.
AMBER ALEXANDER WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE- I BELIEVE
YOU'RE YOU'RE REFERRING TO SOME
PRIOR INVESTMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN
MADE AROUND PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT FOR ETHNIC STUDIES.
ON IT IN THE IN THE PART BUT IT
WOULD HAVE TO DEFER. TO THE
DEPARTMENT EDUCATION TO PROVIDE
AN UPDATE IN TERMS OF THE ROLL
OUT OF THOSE FINES. BUT WE TO
BELIEVE AN RFA HAS GONE OUT FOR
THAT WORK. IN IN TERMS OF THE-
CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN HAD
HAPPENING HAPPENING AROUND THE
ETHNIC STUDIES- GRADUATION
REQUIREMENT. THAT IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT FUNDING HAS BEEN
PROVIDED FOR IN THE BUDGET-
KNOWING THAT THERE THERE'S
CERTAINLY AN INTEREST BUT THAT'S
NOT SOMETHING THAT'S INCLUDED IN
THE IN THE BUDGET PROCESS AB ONE
OF ONE'S REQUIREMENTS I WAS HE
SAID THAT THERE ISN'T AN NO
PREPARATION FOR THAT. CORRECT
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF
PREPARATION FOR THAT- AND THAT
IT WOULD COST TWO HUNDRED
SEVENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS IS
WHAT I'M TOLD. THAT'S NOT SOME
THAT THAT FINANCE HAS. COSTED
OUT KNOWING WE HAVE NOT FELT
FUNDING IN AN THAT WE DO FOR IT
WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT COST TO
EMPLOY THAT MAN. OKAY WELL I
WANT AND I BELIEVE THEIR PLAN IS
THAT. IT IS A REQUIRE
REQUIREMENT BY THE YEAR TWENTY
NINE THIRTY. AFTER THAT CLASS
AND I WOULD JUST- ITERATE MY
VERY STRONG BELIEF AND I THINK I
SPEAK FOR A LOT OF FOLKS. I IN
THIS BODY IN THE ASSEMBLY THAT
THAT WE GET FUNDING FOR THAT.
I'M JUST TO CLARIFY TO- OUT ON
BEHALF OF DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
THAT GRADUATION REQUIREMENT IS
CONTINGENT ON A BUDGET ACT
APPROPRIATION BEING PROVIDED.
UNDERCITY I THANK YOU. THEN I
HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS BEFORE WE-
ONE. IN Z. OF PROFITS TWENTY
EIGHT ARTS AND MUSIC FUNDING AS
- BEEN A HOT ISSUE SINCE THE
ORIGINAL. TEN BUDGET CAME OUT
AND I WAS GONNA ASK. THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE JUST THAT
. ARE THE LANGUAGE THAT'S IN THE
RECOMMENDATION DOESN'T INCLUDE.
A CLARIFICATION ON HOW THE- THE
US SUPPLEMENT OR SUPPLANT
PROVISION IS GOING TO BE
IMPLEMENTED AND I WONDERED HOW
YOU ENVISION DISPLAYING OUT THIS
YEAR. I AMBER ALEXANDER WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND WE
CERTAINLY RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S
AN INTEREST- ON ON BEHALF OF
THOSE IN THE FIELD TO GET
CLARIFICATION ON THAT
REQUIREMENT. AND THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT WE CONTINUE TO
HAVE CONVERSATIONS AROUND- WITH
WITH OUR PARTNERS IN THE
LEGISLATURE AM IN THE DIP IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AS WELL.
THAT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS
ADDRESSED IN ANY OF THE-
IMPLEMENTATION LANGUAGE THAT'S
PUT FORWARD IN TRAILER BILL BUT
WE UNDERSTAND THE NEED HAVE WELL
THAT'S ACTUALLY WHY I ASKED THE
QUESTION. AND SO I JUST HOPE
THOSE CONVERSATIONS WOULD BE
COMPLETED BY THE TIME WE
COMPLETE THE BUDGET SO THAT WE
HAVE CLARIFICATION I NOTICED
SOME BODY LANGUAGE OVER NAY
OHIO. AREA IS THERE ANY DESIRE
TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THAT.
MAYBE THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT WAY
TO. ASK IT TOO BECAUSE I GET YOU
HAVE NO DESIRE TO MAKE IT DID
YOU HAVE A COMMENT. I WOULD JUST
SAY THE GROWTH THE L. A. OLD
ADDING THAT THE CHANGES THAT
WERE IN THAT THERE ARE SOME
CHANGES IN THE MAY REVISION
THERE EARLY TECHNICAL WRITING
MANDERSON AS MANY OF THEM WERE
SUGGESTIONS BUT THE DEPARTMENT
OF IT HAD AND WE HAVE ANY
SPECIFIC CONCERNS. WITH YOUR
CORRECT THAT THEM THAT BIG THE
PART OF THE DISCUSSION THAT STOP
IN QUESTION WHICH IS ABOUT HOW
YOU DEFINE WHAT SUPPLEMENT NOT
SUPPLANT IS NOT ADDRESS
AMERICA'S OKAY WOULD BE
INTERESTING TO HAVE A DRESSED
THANK YOU FOR THAT AND- ON THE
LITERACY SCREENING. IT'S A
GENERALLY SUPPORT THIS DIRECTION
AND- IT'S JUST A QUESTION OF. OF
MAKING SURE THAT WE DO THE RIGHT
THING TO IT TO MOVE IT ALONG.
IT'S I DID A BILL ON DENTAL
SCREENING. WHEN I WAS IN THE-
ASSEMBLY. WE HAVE ALL THESE.
WILL WE TRY TO. THEM BEFORE
THEY- ARE- SORT OF CREATED OF
CONTROL SO THIS IS A GOOD
RECOMMENDATION I JUST HOPE. IT'S
THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF NEXT
STEPS. AND SOMEBODY RAN TO A
CHAIR IS THAT BECAUSE YOU HAD A
COMMENT YOU WISH TO MAKE. THAT'S
MY DEPARTMENT FINANCES HERE IF
YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OKAY.
WELL THE CONCERN HAS BEEN
EXPRESSED. AND THEN THE LAST ONE
I HAD A QUESTION ON WAS WHAT WE
HAD A DISCUSSION IN A PREVIOUS
HEARING ABOUT THE- THE MILITARY
SPOUSE AUTHORIZATION ABOUT
TEACHER CREDENTIALING AND I
THINK WE HAD SOME CONCERNS. HOME
THAT. WE HAVE MIGHT SEED TO ANY
OF NINE OTHER STATES THE ABILITY
TO SORT OF SET REQUIREMENTS
BECAUSE IT WAS DONE. NOT
UNIQUELY BY THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND WE HAD
NERVOUSNESS ABOUT THAT AND ONE
OF THE CONCERNS THAT WAS RAISED
TO ME SINCE THAT DISCUSSION. WAS
WHETHER OR NOT CALIFORNIA'S
DOMESTIC PARTNERS LAWS OR THINGS
THAT MIGHT BE LOS ABOUT
RELATIONSHIPS COULD IN ANY WAY
BE OVERRULED ARE UNDERMINED BY
THE OTHER NINE STATES IF WE HAD.
TO DO THIS JOINTLY AS ANYBODY
KNOWS THE ANSWER TO THAT
QUESTION. WAS MY DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE I THINK WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT WAS DISCUSSION
AROUND- MOBILITY COMPACTS AND
WHETHER OR NOT CALIFORNIA. WOULD
BECOME ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF
THAT CONTACT SO THAT IS NOT WHAT
WE PUT FORWARD IN THE MAIN
REVISED. INSTEAD THE MAY REVISE
AUTHORIZES THE COMMISSION TO
ISSUE A COMPARABLE CALIFORNIA
CREDENTIAL UNTO ANY UNITED
STATES MILITARY SERVICE MEMBER
OR THEIR SPOUSE. I AM NOT
POSSESS A VALID OUT OF STATE
TEACHING CREDENTIAL- OR SERVICES
CREDENTIAL TO PROVIDE
INSTRUCTION OR SERVICES IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF FENNEL. JUSTIN
RUPP OKAY THANK YOU YEAH A. N.
THE QUICK THE QUESTION IS.
BECAUSE THAT WASN'T CLEAR MAYBE
ONE WAS. THE THAT JUST WASN'T
CLEAR SO BAY. IS THE
RECOMMENDATION IN THE MAY
REVISED MANY WHITES TO ADDRESS
THE CONCERNS BY DOING A UNIQUELY
CALIFORNIA THING RATHER THAN
DOING IT JOINTLY WITH THE OTHER
STATES AND SORT OF SEEING SOME
OF FORTY TO THEM. SO THIS
TECHNICALLY ALIGNS WITH FEDERAL
LAW THAT WAS RECENTLY PASSED BUT
YES THIS IS NOT WE'RE MAKING TO
BEING PART OF A CONTACT AT THIS
TIME. OKAY SO IT'S A WAY TO MEET
BOTH GOALS TO MAKE SURE THAT-
THE SPOUSE ISSUE IS ADDRESSED
BUT NOT IN A WAY THAT SEATS
CALIFORNIA'S CONTROLLED TO A
COMPACT OF OTHER STATES CORRECT.
OKAY THANK YOU I APPRECIATE THAT
BECAUSE THAT ADDRESSES THE
CONCERNS. ARE THAT WE HAD WHEN
WE HAD THE FIRST HERE. THEN ARE
THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
BEFORE WE MOVE ON FROM THE SIDE
. THEN ONCE AGAIN DON'T TAKE THE
LACK OF DISCUSSION AS AS MARK OF
INTERESTED SOME OF THE ISSUES WE
REALLY VETTED DESPITE NUMEROUS
PREVIOUS HEARINGS AND I THINK
THIS WAS JUST. THE MAY REVISE
UPDATE AND WE EVEN. TALKED ABOUT
THE PROP NINETY EIGHT
ARCHITECTURE IN THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE BUDGET DID NOT HERE SO
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- FOR
PARTICIPATING TODAY WE- WE
REALLY APPRECIATE IT- THAT. COME

FROM THE BUDGET HEARING AND
WE'RE GOING TO GO TO PUBLIC

BEFORE GOING TO THE
TELECONFERENCE WINEMA TRYING TO
ASSESS. THE TIME LIMITS BASED
ON. ON PEOPLE THAT WISH TO HOW
MANY PEOPLE IN THE ROOM WHICH TO
MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT. THAT THERE
WERE SOME RATHER TENTATIVE
THINGS THERE THERE WERE THREE

LINING UP SO I'M NOT. TOTALLY
