THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR FIRST LET

COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS ON PAGE SIX
OF THE ANALYSIS.
PA AB TWENTY YEAR TWENTY SIXTY
FIVE UPDATES MY TWENTY FOURTEEN
LEGISLATION AB TWENTY ONE THIRTY
FIVE WHICH IS THE SURPLUS LAND
ACT THE SURPLUS LAND ACT.
ASKED
THAT AS LOCAL AGENCIES DISPOSED
OF SURPLUS LAND BUT THEY GIVE
THE FIRST PRIORITY TO AFFORDABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPERS.
THE REASON THAT WE ARE UPDATING
THIS IS WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD FLOOD
NUMBER JURISDICTIONS TRY TO
CIRCUMVENT THE STATE LAW AND WE
FEEL THAT.
THIS WELL FURTHER CLARIFY OUR
PURPOSE AND ACTUALLY STOP THAT
WE ACTUALLY HAD THAT OPENED THE
CITY COUNCIL ARGUED. THAT A
PARCEL AND WITHOUT SUBJECT TO
THE SURPLUS WHEN THAT BECAUSE
THE LAND WAS FORMERLY OWNED BY A
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY.
IN SAN JOSE. OF THE CITY TOOK A
STEP THAT THE CHARTER CITY THAT
THEY COULD ADOPTED ORDINANCE
THAT DIRECTLY CONTRADICTED THE
REQUIREMENTS.
OF THE SURPLUS LAND ACT AS YOU
KNOW WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF A
HOUSING CRISIS AND IN PARTICULAR
WERE IN THE MIDST OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING CRISIS.
WE FELT BACK IN TWENTY FOURTEEN
IN THE GOVERNOR SIGNED THE
LEGISLATION THAT THIS WAS ON.
THE WAY TO CREATE.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN A COST
EFFICIENT WAY AND WE STILL STAND
BY THAT AND WOULD APPRECIATE
YOUR SUPPORT TODAY ARE FOR AB
TWENTY SIXTY FIVE WITH THAT I'VE
TWO WITNESSES.
WELCOME.
THANK YOU GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM
CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
ON MY NAME IS JEFFREY LOOK AND I
AM THE POLICY DIRECTOR WITH EAST
BAY HOUSING ORGANIZATIONS. WE
ARE A MEMBER BASED NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION THAT DOES EDUCATION
AND ADVOCACY TO PROTECT PRESERVE
AND.
S. BEYOND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOWER INCOME
COMMUNITIES AND
TODAY.
PRIOR TO WORKING FOR EPO I SPENT
NEARLY THIRTY YEARS WITH THE
CITY OF OAKLAND IS THE HOUSING
POLICY AND PROGRAMS MANAGER SO I
HAVE. HAD SOME EXPERIENCE ON
THIS ISSUE ON BOTH SIDES.
I'M WE FIRST WANT TO THANK
ASSEMBLY MEMBER TING FOR
INTRODUCING THIS LEGISLATION.
THE SURPLUS LAND ACT CAN BE A
POWERFUL TOOL FOR PROVIDING
URGENTLY NEEDED AFFORDABLE
HOUSING FOR LOWER INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS. AND WE APPRECIATE
EFFORTS TO CLARIFYING AND
STRENGTHEN THE EXISTING
PROVISIONS IN THE LAW.
AS WE'VE NOTED IN THE COMMENT
LETTER THAT WE PREVIOUSLY
SUBMITTED IN THE COURSE OF OUR
WORK WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A NUMBER
OF BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LAW.
DESPITE EXPLICIT LANGUAGE IN
THE STATUTE THAT ITS PROVISIONS
APPLY EQUALLY TO GENERAL LAW AND
CHARTER CITIES AS MR TING SAID.
THERE'S A BIG DISPUTE AND
LITIGATION PENDING WITH THE CITY
OF SAN JOSE THAT HAS HAVE
BROADER RAMIFICATIONS THE
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION. ON HAS BEEN TRYING
TO LINK DISCRETIONARY
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING TO.
POSITIVE PERFORMANCE ON A
HOUSING PRODUCTION AND SOUGHT TO
LINK DISCRETIONARY FUNDING TO
COMPLIANCE WITH THE SURPLUS LAND
ACT BUT BECAUSE OF THIS.
DISPUTE WITH THE CITY OF SAN
JOSE RIGHT NOW THAT LINKAGE ONLY
APPLIES TO GENERAL LAWS CITIES.
AND THEY'VE HELD IT IN ARM
ABEYANCE FOR A CHARTER CITIES.
THREE YEARS AGO IN THE CITY OF
OAKLAND THE CITY CLAIMS THAT
LAND BEING OFFERED FOR SALE TO A
PRIVATE DEVELOPER OF MARKET RATE
HOUSING WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE
SURPLUS LAND ACT BECAUSE IT WAS
FORMER REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
LAND.
DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE A
DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSFER OF
THE PROPERTY FROM THE CITY TO
READ TO THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
WAS INVALID AND D. O. F. WAS
ACTUALLY ORDERING THAT IT BE
CLAWED BACK. AND THEREFORE WAS
CLEARLY CITY OWNED PLANT.
MORE RECENTLY THE CITY OF
OAKLAND CLAIMS THAT A CITY OWNED
PARCEL BEING OFFERED TO A
PRIVATE DEVELOPER WAS NOT
SURPLUS LAND BECAUSE THE CURRENT
STATUTORY LANGUAGE REFERS TO
LAND THAT IS QUOTE. DETERMINES%
TO BE NO LONGER NECESSARY FOR
THE AGENCIES USE.
THE CITY CLAIMED THAT SINCE IT
HAD NEVER USED TO PLANT IT
DIDN'T FIT THE TEST OF NO LONGER
NECESSARY FOR THE CITY'S USE AND
THEREFORE THERE WAS NO
OBLIGATION TO GO THROUGH THE ON.
PROCEDURES OF THE SURPLUS LAND
ACT.
TRANSIT AGENCIES SEEKING
DISPOSABLE LAND FOR DEVELOPMENT
OF CLAIMED THAT BECAUSE FEDERAL
TRANSPORTATION AGENCY IN STATE
LAW DEFINED JOINT DEVELOPMENT AS
A TRANSIT RELATED USE SUCH
DISPOSITION STILL QUALIFIES AS
BEING USED BY THE AGENCY AND
THEREFORE. DEVELOPMENT OF OFFICE
AND RETAIL SPACE FOR EXAMPLE IS
PERMITTED WITHOUT NEEDING TO GO
THROUGH THE PROCEDURES OF THE
PLUS LAND ACT.
WE HAVE SEEN EFFORTS TO DEFINE
SALE OF WAY ON FOR ANY BROADLY
DEFINED PUBLIC PURPOSE SUCH AS
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OR REVENUE
GENERATION AS NOT BEING SURPLUS
LAND.
THERE'S BEEN CONFUSION ABOUT
WHAT IT MEANS TO GIVE PRIORITY
TO PROPOSALS FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING TO ASSIST MEAN THAT IN
AGENCIES SHOULD FIRST NEGOTIATE
EXCLUSIVELY WITH DEVELOPERS
PROPOSING AFFORDABLE HOUSING. OR
JUST AT THE CITY IN THE COURSE
OF A COMPETITION SHOULD AWARD A
COUPLE OF EXTRA POINTS TO
ANYBODY PROPOSING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING.
AND LASTLY WE'VE SEEN ATTEMPTS
TO USE THE NEGOTIATION PROCESS
ITSELF TO DIRECT OR LIMIT THE.
FINAL USE OF THE LAND.
INCLUDING SAYING WELL WE ONLY
WANT A HOTEL HERE WE ONLY WANT
TO SEE.
RETAIL DEVELOPMENT HERE DESPITE
THE STATUTE CLEARLY STATING THAT
NEGOTIATION SHOULD FOCUS ON
SALES PRICE OR LEASE TERMS AND
THAT IT IS FAILURE TO REACH
AGREEMENT ON THESE POINTS THAT
WOULD ALLOW THE AGENCY TO THEN
PROCEED. WITH SALE TO OTHER
ENTITIES.
THE AMENDMENTS OFFERED IN THIS
BILL WOULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARD
CLARIFYING IN RESOLVING THESE
AMBIGUITIES AND LOOPHOLES AND
SPECIFICALLY THE BILL WOULD.
PROVIDE CLARITY ABOUT WHICH
AGENCIES ARE COVERED BY THE LAW.
BETTER DEFINE SURPLUS LAND AS
ANY PUBLICLY OWNED PLANTS NOT
NEEDED FOR THE PUBLIC AGENCIES
OWN GOVERNMENTAL OPERATIONS AND
ESTABLISH A PRESUMPTION THAT
PUBLIC LAND IS SURPLUS PROPERTY
WHEN THE PUBLIC ENTITY INITIATES
ACTION TO DISPOSE OF IT.
BILL WOULD STREAMLINE THE
PROCESS FOR NOTIFYING QUALIFIED
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS
HAVE THE AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC
LAND MAKING THAT PROCESS EASIER
FOR BOTH DEVELOPERS AND PUBLIC
AGENCIES RIGHT NOW. ARE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SPONSORS MUST
NOTIFY IN ADVANCE EVERY PUBLIC
AGENCY IN THEIR SERVICE AREA OF
THEIR DESIRE TO I'M HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BID ON. SURPLUS
LAND BEFORE THEY EVEN KNOW THAT
THE LAND IS BEING OFFERED THIS
IS INCREDIBLY BURDEN SUMMIT ALSO
REQUIRES SCORES OF AGENCIES TO
TRACK THIS. ON THE BILL PROPOSES
INSTEAD TO HAVE A CENTRAL
REGISTRY WITH EACH ARM COUNCIL
OF GOVERNMENTS. THERE'S A
CENTRAL REPOSITORY.
THE BILL WOULD SPECIFY THAT
NEGOTIATION SHOULD FOCUS ON SALE
OR HOME LEASE PRICE IN TERMS AND
NOT THE DETAILS OF HOW THE
PROPERTY SHOULD BE DEVELOPED. IT
WOULD I CLARIFY WHAT IT MEANS TO
GRANT PRIORITY TO AFFORDABLE
HOUSING PROPOSALS. I'M AND WOULD
CLARIFY FOR THAT IF NEGOTIATIONS
FAIL ON THERE'S A PROVISION NOW
THAT ANY HOUSING DEVELOP SHOULD
BE FIFTEEN PERCENT AFFORDABLE
THE ARM.
BILL NOW WOULD CLARIFY THAT IF
NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROPOSALS
THAT COME FORWARD BUT THE
PROPERTY IS SUBSEQUENTLY
DEVELOPED FOR HOUSING THAN THAT
FIFTEEN PERCENT WOULD REPLY.
SO THESE PROVISIONS IMPROVE ON
THE EXISTING STATUTE WITHOUT
IMPOSING SIGNIFICANT NEW
RESPONSIBILITIES ARE
REQUIREMENTS ON PUBLIC AGENCIES
AT A TIME WHEN THE STATE IS
FACING IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING
EMERGENCY ON AN UNPRECEDENTED
SCALE. ENSURING THAT SURPLUS
PUBLIC LAND IS MADE AVAILABLE
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT IS OF THE UTMOST ARE
IMPORTANCE WE URGE YOU TO PASS
THIS MEASURE OUT OF COMMITTEE.
AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE GREAT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR
CURRY MEMBERS MICHAEL AND WITH
THE NONPROFIT HOUSING
ASSOCIATION OF THE CALIFORNIA. A
PLEASED TO BE WITH YOU THAT
TODAY AND I WOULD JUST SAY VERY
BRIEFLY THAT THE STE SURPLUS
LAND ACTED ON THE BOOKS FOR
DECADES. IN TWENTY FOURTEEN TO
WORK MISTER TANK TO TO
STRENGTHEN THAT AND REALLY TRY
TO IMPLEMENT IT OVER THE PAST
THREE YEARS WE'VE LEARNED A LOT
OF A ABOUT TRYING TO IMPLEMENT
THE BILL AND FOUND ISSUES. THIS
SECTOR TO CLARIFY THE STATUTE
BECAUSE THE ONLY REMEDY THAT WE
HAVE REALLY IT'S A COMPLAINT
DRIVEN PROCESS AND WOULD REQUIRE
LITIGATION WE DON'T WANT TO GO
THERE WE THINK IT'S BETTER JUST
TO HAVE. MORE CLARITY IN THE LAW
SO THAT IT'S A JURISDICTIONS AND
DISTRICT KNOW HOW HOW IT
OPERATES AND TO BE ABLE TO DO SO
AND WE ARE SUPPORT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANYONE ELSE THIS TO SUPPORT IF
YOU JUST GIVE YOUR NAME AND IF
YOU AND YOUR ORGANIZATION
PLEASE.
THREE MEN TURKEY'S DONE HERE FOR
THE CALIFORNIA APARTMENT
ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT.
ANYONE ELSE FOR SUPPORT.
NEW WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
BOB FROM.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I'M BROWN JR VASI WITH
THE CALIFORNIA SPECIAL DISTRICTS
ASSOCIATION. AND WE ARE REGRET
REGRETTABLY OPPOSED UNLESS
AMENDED TO THE MEASURE.
OUR OUR PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE
APPLICATION OF THE SURPLUS LAND
ACT TO LEASES.
I'D THIS COULD BE VERY
PROBLEMATIC FOR PUBLIC AGENCIES
THAT DO HAVE VALID REASONS TO
LEASE OR OTHERWISE PROTECT THE
LAND THEY OWN.
FIRST FOR INSTANCE WE'VE HEARD
FROM OUR MEMBERS I'D.
CONSERVATION EASEMENTS ARE ARE
TYPICALLY USED TO PROTECT
SENSITIVE SPECIES OR TO MITIGATE
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES THAT THEY
FACE ANOTHER. AYE POTENTIAL I
USE OF LEASES WOULD BE SHORT
TERM WE SEEN OUGHT TO USE
PROPERTY PENDING FUTURE
FACILITIES NEEDS.
AS WE PASSED THE AUTHORED
CONSUMING TOO I CONSIDER
AMENDING THE DEFINITION TO APPLY
ONLY TO THE SALE OF SURPLUS
LAND.
WE ALSO ASKED FOR AMENDMENTS
THAT PUBLIC IN SEIZE.
ONLY BE REQUIRED TO OFFER LAND
THAT IS CONSIDERED SUITABLE FOR
SCHOOL FACILITIES OR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING.
UP WE'VE HEARD FROM ONE OF OUR
MEMBERS THAT THIS BILL WOULD
REQUIRE THEM TO OFFER UP BUT FOR
LAND LOCATED NEXT TO WASTEWATER
FACILITIES. AND WE SERIOUSLY
DOUBT THAT ANYBODY WOULD WANT TO
CONSTRUCT AFFORDABLE HOUSING
FINALLY THE CAN ALSO BE GOOD
REASONS FOR AN AGENCY TO IT.
TO HAVE INFORMAL NEGOTIATION AND
IF THE AGENCY COMPLIES THE
SURPLUS LAND ACT. BY PROVIDING
NOTICE AND NEGOTIATION IN GOOD
FAITH THAT SHOULD BE ALL THAT IS
REQUIRED.
WE'D LIKE TO THANK THE AUTHOR
AND SPONSOR FOR WORKING WITH US
IN THE BILL SO FAR. AND WE
BELIEVE THE AMENDMENTS THAT WE
HAVE PROPOSED TO INCREASE THE
LAND AVAILABLE FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. ALSO MAINTAINING
FLEXIBILITY FOR LOCAL AGENCIES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ANY OTHERS
WITNESSES AND OPPOSITION. HIGH
ON MY GROUPS HERE ON BEHALF OF
THE CALVARY MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
ASSOCIATION AND WE TACKLE THE
CONCERNS OF THE SPECIAL DISTRICT
ASSOCIATION AND APPRECIATE THE
THE AUTHORED STAFF AND SPONSORS

CITIES AND COUNTIES TO DEVELOP A
HARDSHIP WAIVER.
CITY'S ALL OVER CALIFORNIA
STRUGGLE
WITH HOW TO DEAL WITH BLIGHTED
AND ABANDONED BUILDINGS
WHEN PROPERTY COUNTIES REFUSED
TO MAINTAIN THEIR PROPERTY.
OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME. IT
LEADS TO AN ACCUMULATION OF
DEBRIS AND PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERN
CHURCHES BREAK INS CRIMINAL
ACTIVITY AND EVEN FIRES.
AND SOME OF THESE CAN BE VERY
DESTRUCTIVE.
IN MY DISTRICT
RIGHT ACROSS A PATIO.
FROM MY DISTRICT OFFICE IN
HAYWARD.
THERE IS AN ABANDONED COMMERCIAL
PROPERTY WHICH HAS BEEN
ABANDONED FOR MORE THAN TWENTY
YEARS.
I IT'S ELEVEN STORY BUILDING

ANNEXATIONS.
OF MODESTO HAS ACTUALLY BEEN
SUED FOR TRYING TWO. OF THEM
ANNEX OTHER AREAS AND.
NOT ANNEXING IN DISADVANTAGED
OF MINORITY COMMUNITIES WITHIN
ITS BOUNDARIES SO INCORPORATION
IS THE ONLY AVENUE THAT WE HAVE
TO PROTECT OUR BOUNDARIES. AND
NOT LOSE ANY MORE PARTIAL
ANNEXATIONS FROM OUR SPECIAL
DISTRICTS.

THE COMMITTEE.
OKAY.
PROMOTION.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND
AND I BELIEVE THOSE FROM
ASSEMBLYMEMBER GLORIA AND
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BLOOM.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO FILL.
ALL JUST TO ADD AT THIS PROBLEM
ARE WHAT HAPPENS IS.
A NEARBY CITY WILL WANT TO GO TO
ALLEN CORPORATE AREA
UNINCORPORATED AREA THEY WON'T
WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH
HOUSING.
BUT THEY'LL TRY AND TAKE.
THE COMMERCIAL AREAS THE MAIN
DRAG.
AND AS THE ADVOCATE HERE SAID
WHEN YOU DO THAT YOU MAKE IT
IMPOSSIBLE FOR THAT CITY. TO
EVER HAVE IN ECONOMIC BASE SAID
THE SOONER WE CAN DO THIS THE
BETTER.
THANK YOUR ANYTHING RESEARCH
CLOTHING LARGEST CONCLUDED MY
OWN NARRATIVE RANCHO CORDOVA.
WHEN MY KIDS WERE GROWING UP
GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL THEY
REFERRED TO MY CITY AS RANCHO
CORDOVA.
AS I WENT DOOR TO DOOR TALKING
TO PEOPLE ABOUT CITYHOOD. I
WOULD HAVE PEOPLE COME OUT AND
REFER TO THE FACT THAT THE FILM.
ACTUALLY HAD BECOME THE DUMPING
GROUND OF THE COUNTY.
I I REMEMBER ONE GUY WHO IS IN A
FRESHLY PRESSED LINEN SHIRT
CHRIS KHAKI SLACKS ALSO. FOR A
FEW PLAYERS DIE CONTRA LONG
WHICH IS VERY RARE RANCHO
CORDOVA SO JUST VERY ELEGANT
COME UNTIL IT WOULD BECOME THE.
ARMPIT OF THE COUNTY
THAT TOO WAS SORT OF A SHOCKING
SORT OF CHARACTERIZATION.
WHAT THIS BILL WILL DO IS IT
WILL LET COMMUNITIES?
WHERE YOU HAVE AN ENERGY TO
IMPROVE THEIR FUTURE?
TO GET TOGETHER AND WORK ON THAT
PROBLEM. THOSE SORTS
SECURITIZATION ARRANGEMENT OVER
NEVER HAPPEN ANYMORE.
AND I DO THINK IT IS A
FUNDAMENTAL PURPOSE A GOVERNMENT
KIND RELEASED THE ENERGY OF OUR
CITIZENS IN DESTRUCTIVE WAYS.
AND.
I WANT TO POINT OUT THE WITHIN
THE FUNDING HERE THERE'S THERE'S
VLF MONEY BUT THERE'S ALSO A
FORM OF IT THAT REFLECTS KIND OF
GROWTH IN RICHARD VOTING. RICH
YOUR VOTE ROLE.
AND IN MY CITY I WENT DOOR TO
DOOR.
AFTER THE VOTERS HAD PASSED
CITYHOOD
BUT BEFORE THE START UPDATE TO
REGISTER VOTERS.
BECAUSE EVERY NEW REGISTERED
VOTER IN MY CITY WHO ENTERED THE
ROLES BECAUSE I KNOCKED ON THEIR
DOOR WAS HELPING THE FUTURE THE
CITY BY INCREASING THIS LITTLE
BIT OF FUNDING STREAM.
SO ON SO MANY LEVELS THIS
ACTIVITY ENERGIZES DEMOCRACY
GROWS A GREAT FUTURE LETS PEOPLE
FOCUS ON THEIR AREA SO I'M JUST
PLEASED TO BE HERE I URGE YOU
RIGHT VOTE I THINK FOR YOUR
TIME.

VERY MUCH GENTLEMEN THANK YOU
ASSEMBLY MEMBER AREAS.
WELCOME
GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME.
GOOD AFTERNOON THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS.
I'D LIKE TO BEGIN BY ACCEPTING
THE AMENDMENTS LOCATED ON THE
LAST PAGE OF THE ANALYSIS.
AB TWENTY TWO SIXTY EIGHT IS A
MEASURE BUILT ON FAIRNESS.
THAT WOULD
STORE REVENUES PREVIOUSLY
ADVOCATE ALLOCATED TO CITIES
THAT ANNEXED UNINHABITED I'M
SORRY. INHABITED TERRITORIES.
HAD PRIOR TO THE PASSAGE OF SB
EIGHTY NINE.
IN TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN.
IN TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN SP EIGHTY
NINE A PREVIOUS BUDGET TRAILER
BILL. WAS PASSED DURING STATE
BUDGET DIFFICULTIES.
THIS LEGISLATION IN EFFECT SWEPT
AWAY TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
ANNUALLY. IN VEHICLE LICENSE FEE
REVENUES FROM CITIES ACROSS THE
STATE.
AS A PART OF THIS CHANGE MANY OF
THOSE AFFECTED WERE NEWLY
INCORPORATED AREAS AND CITIES
THAT HAD AMEX THOSE NEW
TERRITORIES.
THIS BECAUSE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
TO ULTIMATELY LOSE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN REVENUE.
THERE OVER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY
ANNEXING CITIES WHO LOST REVENUE
DUE TO THE LEGISLATION.
INCLUDING MY CITY THE CITY OF
FONTANA.
FONTANA IN MY DISTRICT WHICH
LOSES OVER SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS ANNUALLY.
FOR ANNEXING CITIES MANY OF
WHICH ARE CURRENTLY CASH
STRAPPED.
THE LOS OF THIS CRITICAL SOURCE
OF FUNDING HURTS THE RESIDENTS.
CITY'S PUT IN THIS POSITION
OFTEN MOST CUT CRITICAL SERVICES
SUCH IS INVESTING IN LOCAL
INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SAFETY
IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE FOR WHAT
MANY CONSIDER TO BE AN
INCOMPLETE BUDGET.
ANOTHER PRACTICAL EFFECT OF
LOCAL LAW.
CURRENT LAW IS THE REDUCTION OF
INTEREST IN ANNEXATION.
GIVEN THE LIMITATIONSREGARDING
NEW REVENUE THEY ARE. THEY'RE NO
LONGER ABLE TO OBTAIN AS A
RESULT OF SB EIGHTY NINE CITIES
ARE MORE LIKELY TO SEE
ANNEXATION AS BURDENSOME.
WELL WE DON'T GIVE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TOOLS NECESSARY TO
MEET THE NEEDS OF THEIR
RESIDENTS WE ARE ACTIVELY
CREATING A DISINCENTIVE FOR
ANNEXATION.
WE MUST EMPOWER OUR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS.
HERE TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF
THIS LEGISLATION IS ACQUITTED A
WORN MAYOR OF SAN BERNADINE
KNOW.
AS WELL AS DAN CARRICK.
WITH THE LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA
CITIES WHO ARE THE SPONSORS OF
THIS LEGISLATION.
PULLING MEDICARE HIM WITHIN
THAT'S RIGHT.
WELCOME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH HONORABLE
CHAIR AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
I'M HERE REPRESENTING MY TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND PLUS RESIDENTS

CITY'S OR CITIES WITH NEW
ANNEXATIONS ADDITIONAL VEHICLE
LICENSE BE REVENUE TO HELP PAPER
SERVICES IN THESE AREAS.
THE CITY OF FONTANA ANNEX
THIRTEEN SQUARE MILES WITH THE
PROMISE OF FUNDING TO TAKE CARE
OF OVER TWELVE THOUSAND
RESIDENTS IN THAT AREA. IN TWO
THOUSAND ELEVEN S. B. EIGHTY
NINE UNINTENTIONALLY REMOVE THE
FUNDS FROM THESE NEW AREAS
THIS WILL. HAVE THIS HAS
AFFECTED A HUNDRED AND FORTY
CITIES AND FONTANA TOOK A
SUBSTANTIAL LOSS.
S. B. EIGHTY NINE RESULTED IN A
PER CAPITA LOSS THE MAJORITY OF
CALIFORNIANS CITIES OF THREE
DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS PER
RESIDENT BY CONTRAS.
THE PER CAPITA LOS OF THE CITY
OF FONTANA WAS SEVEN DOLLARS AND
FIFTY CENTS PER RESIDENT.
AB TWENTY TWO SIXTY EIGHT WILL
REINSTATE BILLS LOST REVENUES
AND GREEN NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND
ANNUALLY BACK TO THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
PART OF OUR PUBLIC SAFETY.

WELCOME MR GIPSON THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING
ME TO PRESENT ASSEMBLY BILL
TWENTY THREE THIRTY NINE WHICH
SEEKS TO IMPROVE WATER SERVICES
FOR CALIFORNIA'S.
MANY CALIFORNIA'S RECEIVED THEIR
DRINKING WATER FROM SMALL PUBLIC
WATER SYSTEMS THAT ARE DIFFICULT
TO MAINTAIN.
THE THESE TROUBLE SYSTEMS OFTEN
LACK RESOURCES TO FUND THE
ONGOING COSTS AND MAINTENANCE OF
OTHER LIKE OTHER.
WATER AGENCIES AND ARE VERY
EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE.
SMALL TROUBLED WATER SYSTEMS CAN
BE OVERCOME.
CAN OVERCOME THESE CHALLENGES
BY CONSOLIDATING WITH
NEIGHBORING SYSTEMS CONSOLIDATED
WATER SYSTEMS CAN SHARE COSTS
AND PROVIDE BETTER WATER
SERVICE.
THROUGH CONNIE OF SCALE.
ALTHOUGH SOME CITIES.
WE WANT TO VOLUNTARILY I'M
CONSOLIDATE THEIR TROUBLED WATER
SYSTEM THERE ARE BARRIERS TO
CONSOLIDATION.
ONE VARIAS THAT IS COSTLY
THE COST OF HOLDING A FULL BLOWN
ELECTION TO APPROVE THE SALE OF
A SMALL PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM.
UNDER EXISTING LAW EVEN IF THE
CITY HAS A WATER SYSTEM WITH
ONLY TEN SERVICE CONNECTIONS A
COMPLETE ELECTION WOULD BE.
NEEDED BEFORE THE SYSTEM COULD
BE SOLD WHILE THE COST TO HOLD
AN ELECTION ON MAY NOT BE
SIGNIFICANT FOR LARGER CITIES.
ARE THEY CAN BE COSTLY AND VERY
EXPENSIVE TO TAXPAYERS IN
SMALLER COMMUNITIES THEREFORE
THIS BILL WILL SEEK TO MODIFY
THE ELECTION REQUIREMENT AND
ALLOW CITIES. TO SELL THEIR
SMALL.

MADAM CHAIR NOT MEMBERS THANK
YOU MY NAME'S JACK HAWKS.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CALIFORNIA
WATER SOCIAIS XIN.
ONE I THINK.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER GIPSON FOR HIS
LEADERSHIP ON THIS.
IMPORTANT TOPIC.
HIS BILL WILL ADD ANOTHER ARROW
TO THE QUIVER.
OF THE STATE'S.
CAN WATER UTILITY CONSOLIDATION
PROGRAM.
AND IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE IT
WILL HELP THE SMALL MUNICIPAL
WATER SYSTEMS. THAT ARE IN.
HAVING A SIGNIFICANT DIFFICULTY
IN THAT MAINTAINING KEEPING UP
THEIR SYSTEMS AND.
AND.
MAKING A NEEDED NEW INVESTMENTS
AND TRYING TO KEEP THEIR RATES
DOWN.
AND THE.
THIS WITH THE CONSOLIDATION IN
THIS STATE WITH THE POLICY WITH
THE STATE'S POLICY IT NEEDS
OPTION MELODY IN THIS BILL. IS A
DEFINITELY PROVIDING ONE OF
THOSE THAT THAT NEEDED OPTIONS.
BUT THE BEST NEWS IS THAT FOR
THEIR CUSTOMERS OF A A TROUBLED
SMALL SYSTEM THAT GET
CONSOLIDATED NOT ONLY WILL THEY
GET WATER UP TO STANDARDS BUT
THERE THE SIMPSON'S WILL BE UP
TO STANDARD. AND.
THEY.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE.
POINT THAT THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
JUST MADE IS IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT IN THIS WHOLE
CONSOLIDATION EFFORTS SO.
AND.
COULD I WANT TO COMPLIMENT THE.
A CONSULTANT ON THE.
ANALYSIS HE'S GOT IT EXACTLY
RIGHT SO.
FOR ALL THOSE REASONS AND.
WE.
AND I ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON
THIS BILL THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH SOARING WILL ALSO

IN OPPOSITION.
THE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE
COMMITTEE.
THANK YOU HAVE A MOTION FROM.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER GLORIA SECOND
BY.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER WALDRON.
OR CHECK TO CLOSE.
WELL I HAVE A QUESTION. MY OKAY
WHICH OF GO AHEAD.
THE BILL STATES THE CITY.
AND I'M WONDERING IF IT'S JUST A
IN ORDER AGENTS.
SAID THERE'S A CITY THAT HAS ITS
OWN WATER DISTRICT IN A VERY
SMALL.
WATER AGENCY.
COULD THE CITY WITH SIDE WITHIN.
YES WHAT'S WITHIN THE GENERAL
PLAN AREA YES SOME OF IT WITHIN
THE CITY LIMITS THAT'S CORRECT
SO THIS.
COULD THE CITY COUNCIL BY FOUR
OUT OF FIVE COUNCIL MEMBERS
VOTE.
TO.
CONSOLIDATE WITH THE SMALL WATER
AGENCY THAT'S PART OF THE CITY
ABSOLUTE BUT NOT ONLY BECAUSE
THE CITY HAS ITS OWN WATER
DISTRICT.
YES RIGHT.
THAT IS CORRECT THAT THE IDEA SO
WHAT IF THESE.
I'M SORRY TO ASK THIS QUESTION
OF AND IT'S IMPORTANT FOR MY
DISTRICT BECAUSE I HAVE THE
SCENARIO. WHAT IF THE SMALL
WATER DISTRICT DOES NOT ONE TO
BE CONSOLIDATED?
NO THIS KNOW THIS I MEAN I'M
SORRY SORRY YOU GOT IT BECAUSE.
IT.
YOU WANT TO THE FIRST KNUCKLE.
YEAH SO THIS IS ONLY WITH
WILLING PARTIES.
THIS ONE ENFORCE ANY OF PUBLIC
OR PRIVATE WATER SYSTEM TO
CONSOLIDATE FORCEFULLY IT'S
STRICTLY BETWEEN VOLUNTARY
WILLING PARTIES.
CONCENTRIC YEAH I THINK THAT'S
WHERE.
NO BECAUSE THE BILL SPECIFICALLY
SAYS THE CITY IF THOUSAND
INDICATING.
RIGHT TO SEPARATE STATE AND THEY
THINK THE CITY'S GOVERNING BODY.
WOULD HAVE TO PASS A RESOLUTION
AND FIRST FIND IT IN THE PUBLIC
INTEREST.
THAT THE IS THE SYSTEM.
IS.
WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PUT IN
POSITION OF BEING A.
CONSOLIDATED WITH ANOTHER SO.
RIGHT CONSENTING PARTIES I
GUESS IS THE BEST WAY HAD THE
SHORT AND WAITED. TO EXPLAIN
THIS. INDIVIDUALS HAVE TO AGREE
YEAH.
MY.
I MIGHT LIKE TO TAKE MY OFF
AGAIN I'M SORRY. I THINK I'M
JUST GONNA LAY OFF RIGHT NOW AND

GOOD AFTERNOON MR RODRIGUEZ.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS.
AB TWENTY FOUR SEVENTEEN AT THE
CITY OF MONCLER AS A VOTING
MEMBER.
OF THE METRO PHOTO GOAL LIKE
CONSTRUCTION AUTHORITY BOARD OF
DIRECTORS.
IN DECEMBER TWENTY SEVENTEEN.
THE CONSTRUCTION AUTHORITY BROKE
GROUND TO EXTEND THE GOAL LINE
INTO THE CITY MONCLER WHICH IS
IN MY DISTRICT.
FOR MY COMMUNITY THE GOAL LINE
MEANS MORE JOBS MORE DEVELOPMENT
AND FEWER CARS ON THE ROAD IN A
REGION THAT SUFFERS FROM.
SOME OF THE WORST AIR QUALITY IN
THE NATION.
NOW THAT THE PROJECT IS MOVING
FORWARD. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT
THE CITY AMONG HER HAVE A VOTING
SEAT ON THE CONSTRUCTION
AUTHORITY BOARD.
AS YOU WILL HEAR FROM COUNCIL
MEMBER BILL ROUTE THE CITY OF
MONTCLAIR HAS INVESTED
SIGNIFICANT TIME AND MONEY
PREPARING FOR THE GOLD LINE.
CITY MARKER HAS BEEN A
CONTINUOUS SUPPORT OF THE GOAL
LINE. AND IS THE ONLY CITY IN
THE SOMEBODY ON COUNTY AFFECTED
BY THE PROJECT.
ADDING THEM AS A VOTING MEMBER
TO THE BOARD IS THE RIGHT THING
TO DO AND NOW IS THE RIGHT TIME.
HERE WITH ME TO TO FIND SUPPORT.
IS MARKER CITY COUNCIL MEMBER
BILL ROOM.
BOB.
WELCOME.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE AND THANK YOU
ASSEMBLY MEMBER RODRIGUEZ FOR
THIS.
BILL.
AS THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER SAID I'M
HERE TODAY IN SUPPORT OF AB
TWENTY FOUR SEVENTEEN.
THE CITY OF MONTCLAIR.
TRULY BELIEVES.
AND THE GOLD LINE.
AND MASS TRANSIT.
WE BELIEVE IN THIS SO MUCH THAT
WE'VE DECIDED.
AND HAD ADVANCED.
THREE MILLION DOLLARS TO THE
METRO GOLD LINE FOOTHILL
CONSTRUCTION AUTHORITY.
THIS WAS DONE ON BEHALF OF THE
SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY.
WITH ADVANCEDCONCEPTUAL
ENGINEERING.
AND CONSULTING WORK.
AND IN TODAY'S ENVIRONMENT WITH
ANY LOCAL CITY THREE MILLION
DOLLARS IS NOT AN INSIGNIFICANT
SOME.
ADDITIONALLY AS A CITY.
WE'VE REZONED AN AREA DIRECTLY
AROUND THE TRANSIT CENTER.
WITH A GOLD LINE.
HOPEFULLY PASS THROUGH.
YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TRANSIT
ORIENTED.
DEVELOPMENT AT MUCH HIGHER
DENSITIES.
THESE DENSITIES ON AVERAGE OR
THIRTY FIVE TO FORTY UNITS.
ACRE.
THEY FULLY EMBRACE TRANSIT
ORIENTED PRINCIPLES.
MIXED USE PRINCIPLES.
AND.
BUILT INTO THEM.
GOOD ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
WE BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THAT TIES
TOGETHER.
BECAUSE OF THIS.
THERE'S BEEN OVER FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS EXPENDED BETWEEN
THE CITY OF MONTCLAIR.
AND THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.
I'M LAND IMPROVEMENT.
I ACQUISITION STUDIES I'VE
INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT.
AND IN NEW CONSTRUCTION.
TIFFANY.
THIS IS PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES
FOR JOBS
FOR BUSINESS PEOPLE TO LOCATE
AND FOR PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY MOVE
CLOSE.
TO A TRANSIT
STATION.
THE GOAL LINE IS VITAL TO
MONTCLAIR AND FOR THE REGION.
BUT ESPECIALLY FOR A LOWER
INCOME FAMILIES WHO NEED SAFE.
RELIABLE.
COST EFFECTIVE TRANSPORTATION
TO HELP THE ACCESS.
JOBS
EDUCATIONAL AS WELL AS CULTURAL
OPPORTUNITIES.
ACROSS THE AREA.
WE DO HOPE THAT THE COMMITTEE
WILL ADVANCE THIS BILL AND IF AT
ANYTIME YOU SHOULD NEED. ANY
QUESTIONS OR NEED ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION I'M MORE THAN HAPPY.
TO PROVIDE IT.
WE DO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
AND WE TRULY HOPE THAT THIS BILL
WILL PASS THANK YOU.
ALL THE OTHER WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT.
SEEING NONE ARE THERE ANY
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR MEMBERS.
STEVE BAKER WITH THEIR NEEDS
ASSOCIATES FOR THE METRO GOLD
LINE FOOTHILL EXTENSION
CONSTRUCTION AUTHORITY. IN
OPPOSITION TO THE MEASURE FIRST
OF ALL WE DO APPRECIATE THE ON
GOING SUPPORT OF ASSEMBLYMAN
RODRIGUEZ AND THE CITY OF
MONTCLAIR FOR THE PROJECT IS
THEY'VE OUTLINED. HOWEVER WE
DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS THE
RIGHT SOLUTION ESPECIALLY AT
THIS TIME.
JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE GOLD
MINE THE GOLD LINE IS A SPECIAL
PURPOSE PUBLIC AGENCY. THAT WAS
CREATED FOR THE SINGLE PURPOSE
OF BUILDING A LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM
IN THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY.
THEY'VE COMPLETED THE LOOK PHASE
ONE OF THE PROJECT FROM DOWNTOWN
LOS ANGELES TO PASADENA. THEY'VE
COMPLETED PHASE TWO OF THE
PROJECT FROM PASADENA TO OF
SOUSA. ANOTHER EMBARKING ON
PHASE THREE OF THE PROJECT HAS
BEEN OUTLINED BY ASSEMBLYMAN
RODRIGUEZ.
THE EXTENSION IS OF ONE POINT
FIVE BILLION DOLLARS PROJECT
WITH THE TERMINUS IN MONTCLAIR.
ONCE THE GOLD LINE FINISHES
CONSTRUCTION THEY TURN OVER
OPERATIONS TO LA METRO AND ONLY
METROS ARE FUNDING PARTNER FOR
THE PROJECT.
WE HAVE THREE ISSUES WITH THIS
BILL ONE OF THEM IN THE FIRST OF
THEM. IS THAT WE THINK THAT THE
BILL WOULD PROVIDE
DISPROPORTIONATE REPRESENTATION
TO ASSEMBLE MEDINA COUNTY.
THE GOLD MINE CURRENTLY HAS FIVE
VOTING MEMBERS
AND FOR NON VOTING MEMBERS.
WITH THE EXTENSION TO MONTCLAIR
THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE PROJECT
IN SYMBOL MEDINA WILL BE SIX
PERCENT OF THE PROJECT.
HOWEVER ONE OF THE.
VOTING MEMBERS CURRENTLY IS FROM
SIMBA MEDINA COUNTY SO THEY'VE
CURRENTLY GOT TODAY THE TWENTY
PERCENT VOTE ON THE BOARD. THIS
WOULD INCREASE THAT THIRTY THREE
PERCENT ON THE BOARD.
I'M ALSO CURRENTLY TODAY ONE OF
THE NON VOTING MEMBERS IS FROM
SAM OR DID YOU KNOW COUNTY.
WE THINK THAT THE GOLD LINES
DONE A GOOD JOB OF REPRESENTING
THE INTERESTS OF SAMBOR MEDINA
COUNTY IN THEIR COMMITTED TO
GOING TO MONTCLAIR. HOME AND
WE'VE OUTLINED THAT AS I'VE
MENTIONED.
ALSO WE FEEL THAT THE BILL
COULD POTENTIALLY PROVIDE SOME
SIGNIFICANT.
.
ECONOMIC IMPACTS TO THE PROJECT
THE GOAL LINE HIS PRE QUALIFIED
A DESIGN BUILD CONTRACTORS WERE
IN THE PROCESS OF GOING OUT TO
BID FOR THAT.
TO THE EXTENT THAT THOSE
CONTRACTORS ARE UNSURE OF WHAT
THEY'RE BIDDING ON OR WHAT THE
COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD IS WERE
CONCERNED THAT MIGHT LEAD TO.
ADDITIONAL RISK TO THE PROJECT
AND THAT ADDITIONAL MITT RISK
COULD.
POTENTIALLY HAVE THE IMPACT OF
NOT HAVING ENOUGH MONEY TO GO TO
MONK CLEAR WHICH IS WHAT WE ALL
WANT TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AND THEN FINALLY WE THINK THAT
THE BILL'S PRE MATURITY HER
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS OUTLINED THIS
PRETTY WELL.
SO FAR WELL MONK CLEAR HAS PUT
UP SOME MONEY FOR PLANNING
THERE'S NO FINANCIAL COMMITMENT
FOR THE CONSTRUCTION ASPECTS OF
THE PROJECT WE THINK THAT UNTIL
THERE'S A.
BETTER FINANCIAL AGREEMENT ON
GOING INTO A SYMBOL MEDINA
COUNTY IT'S PREMATURE TO THE.
AND ADD ADDITIONAL
REPRESENTATIVES TO THE BOARD AND
SO FOR THOSE THREE REASONS WERE
OPPOSED TO THE MEASURE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS I'M ISRAEL
WILL FUND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OF THE SAN MEDINA TRANSPORTATION
SOME REAL COUNTY TRANSPORTATION
AUTHORITY. ó OUR AGENCY HAS
TAKEN AND OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED
POSITION ON AB TWENTY FOUR
SEVENTEEN.
WHAT WE FULLY SUPPORT AND
APPRECIATE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
RODRIGUEZ IS EFFORTS TO ADD THE
CITY OF MONTCLAIR'S VOICE TO THE
BOARD? AND WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT
OUR VOICE IS A VOTING MEMBER IS
EQUALLY IF NOT MORE SIGNIFICANT.
THE CONVERSION OF OUR CURRENT EX
OFFICIO NONVOTING SEAT TO THE
GOAL LINE CONSTRUCTION AUTHORITY
IS CRITICAL TO PROVIDING INPUT
ON ITEMS AFFECTING SAMBAR MEDINA
COUNTY.
AS WE ARE PROJECTED TO
CONTRIBUTE MORE THAN EIGHTY
MILLION DOLLARS TO THE CAPITAL
INVESTMENT OF THE PROJECT.
AND THEN ON AN ANNUAL BASIS
ONGOING CONTRIBUTE APPROXIMATELY
THREE MILLION DOLLARS FOR
OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE IN
PERPETUITY.
THE CURRENT MAKE UP OF THE GOAL
LINE CONSTRUCTION AUTHORITY
PASADENA SOUTH PASADENA LOS
ANGELES LA METRO IN THE SAN
GABRIEL VALLEY COUNCIL OF
GOVERNMENTS.
HAVE DECISION MAKING AUTHORITY
OVER A PROJECT THAT HAS ALREADY
BEEN CONSTRUCTED THROUGH THEIR
COMMUNITIES.
AND WILL UNLESS MODIFIED HAVE
THE SAME AUTHORITY OVER THE
PHASE OF THE PROJECT THAT HIS
PROPOSED TO BE CONSTRUCTED
THROUGH GLENDORA SAN DEMI'S LA
VERNE POMONA CLAREMONT. AND
MONTCLAIR.
LIKE LOS ANGELES AND WOULD YOU
KNOW COUNTY IS A SELF HELP
COUNTY.
RESPONSIBLE FOR ADMITTING A BIT
MINISTERING A LOCAL SALES TAX
DEDICATED TO TRANSPORTATION
INVESTMENT IN THE COUNTY.
AND LIKE LOS ANGELES THE
TAXPAYERS OF SAMBOR TO DINO
COUNTY DESERVE REPRESENTATION AS
A VOTING MEMBER. HOW ON THE
CONSTRUCTION AUTHORITY TO ENSURE
THAT THE FUNDING CONTRIBUTED TO
THE PROJECT IS USED IN A MANNER
THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH OUR
LOCAL SALES TAX MEASURE?
WE WOULD URGE A NO VOTE TODAY
UNLESS THE BILL AS AMENDED TO
ADD THIS AMBER TO DINO COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY THANK
YOU.
THANK YOU IS ANYONE ELSE IN.
A PROPOSITION OF THE SPILL.
BAKE YOU CURE US ON BEHALF OF
THE CITY OF PASADENA ALSO IN
OPPOSITION FOR SOME OF THE
REASONS THAT BEEN PREVIOUSLY
STATED.
ANYONE ELSE IN OPPOSITION.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS ANY QUESTIONS.
WE HAVE.
.
YES MR UP VOEPEL ASSEMBLY MEMBER
JUST A QUICK QUESTION BECAUSE.
ARE YOU WILLING TO TAKE THE
AMENDMENT.
BECAUSE THEY ONE ANOTHER ACTIVE
BOARD MEMBER THAT'S WHERE I
UNDERSTAND IT IS THAT CORRECT.
CORRECT IF I MAY YEAH NAM MADAM
CHAIR. I'M GOING TO WORK WITH
OPPOSITION TO LOOK TO ADDRESS
THAT ISSUE AND AND THAT THAT
OTHER SEAT LIKE THAT SAID YEAH.
THAT'S GOING AND SOMEBODY NO
COUNTY.
BUT SOMETIMES I LOOK BACK THIS
PROJECT IT'S BEEN PRETTY MUCH
TALKED ABOUT THE LAST FORTY FIVE
YEARS.
AND NEVER ONCE THAT I'VE BEEN IN
AN OFFICE HAVE THEY'VE EVER
APPROACHED ME TO BE ON THE BOARD
RIGHT SINCE WE ALL KNEW THIS WAS
COMING. I'VE NEVER HAD ANY
DISCUSSION WITH THAT ALL OF A
SUDDEN I HAVE THIS BILL FOR TWO.
AT THE CITY OF MONTCLAIR WOULD
JUST THIS NEXT PHASE OF WORKING
TO END. AND NOW I'M I'M GETTING
THERE THEIR.
INTEREST AND NOW OPPOSITION THE
LAST THIRD THEY'RE NOT THAT SHE
THE TABLE WHICH. I WISH TO
DISCUSS WHAT HAPPENED SOONER
RATHER THAN LATER.
BUT ALSO LIKE THEIR COMMITMENT
FROM THE COUNTY OF SOMEBODY KNOW
THAT THAT'S NOT JUST STOP AT
MONTCLAIR LET'S CONTINUE THIS
PROJECT. FURTHER INTO SOMEBODY
ALLOW THEM TO HAVE A SEAT AT THE
BOARD IF
IT'S ONLY ONE MILE INTO THE
COUNTY.
AND I'M SORRY BUT I DON'T.
COME UP WITH A PRICE TAG ON IT
THE EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS
THAT'S GOING TO BE IN SUMMER
DINO.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S THE
WAY IT'S WORKED OUT IT'S ONLY
ONE MILE INTO THE COUNTY AND IF
I CAN GET COMMITMENT FROM
SOMEBODY IN A COUNTY THAT. LET'S
CONTINUE MOVING THIS PROJECT
ALONG FURTHER AT DECEMBER DINO
COUNTY BY ALL MEANS I'M I'M
WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM ON
ADDING THAT SEE.
THROUGH THE CHAIR ONE LAST
COMMENT THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR
I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS ONLY GOING
IN ONE MILE.
I WILL TRUST YOUR VIEW OF IT
AND SUPPORT.

WOULD GIVE RIVERSIDE COUNTY
REGIONAL PARK IN OPEN SPACE
DISTRICT THE SAME PURCHASING
POWER AS OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
I TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE
RIVERSIDE COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS
AT THIS BILL ADDRESSES THE NEED
TO INCREASE THE GENERAL MANAGERS
PURCHASING LIMIT TO MATCH OTHER
COUNTY DIVISION HAD LIMITS.
OVER TIME COST INCREASES HAVE
EFFECTIVELY REDUCED THE
DISTRICTS PURCHASING POWER.
INCREASING THE NO BID PURCHASING
AUTHORITY TO FIFTY THOUSAND
COMPENSATES FOR THE RISING
GENERAL COSTS OF THE DISTRICT.
I WOULD BETTER SUPPORT THE
DISTRICT'S MISSION BY
ELIMINATING ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
FOR SMALL PROJECTS.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE AND I HAVE WITH ME TODAY
REPRESENTATIVES HERE THAT WOULD
LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS AND. I
CAN HELP ANSWERQUESTIONS AS
WELL FATE WELCOME. GOOD
AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
I'M ELIZABETH HAS BEEN US ON
BEHALF OF THE RIVERSIDE A COUNTY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. RIFF CHO
PARKS AS IT'S AFFECTIONATELY
AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN AS A
DEPENDENT HOW SPECIAL DISTRICT
IN THE COUNTY RIVERSIDE WE VERY
MUCH APPRECIATE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MAYES OFFERING THIS BILL ON
BEHALF OF THE COUNTY AND ON
BEHALF OF THE DISTRICT. I HAVE.
WITH ME TODAY MAKING GOMEZ
WHO'S THE FINANCE MANAGER OF THE
PERKS DISTRICT AND SHE CAN SPEAK
TO SOME OF THE SPECIFICS THANK
YOU.
BOTH OF.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS MY NAME IS MEGAN GóMEZ
I AM THE FISCAL MANAGER FOR
RIVERSIDE COUNTY REGIONAL PARK
AND OPEN SPACE DISTRICT.
AND.
AS MENTIONED WERE KNOWN AS REV
CHO PARKS
SO I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT WHO WE ARE AND WHY WE
ARE MAKING THIS REQUEST.
FIRST I COUNTY PARKS WAS
ESTABLISHED IN NINETEEN NINETY
THROUGH THE VOTERS APPROVAL. AND
OUR MISSION IS TO ACQUIRE
PROTECT DEVELOP MANAGE AND
INTERPRET FOR THE INSPIRATION
USE AND ENJOYMENT OF ALL PEOPLE
IT WELL BALLOT SYSTEM OF PARK
RELATED PLACES. OF.
OUTSTANDING SCENIC RECREATIONAL
AND HISTORIC IMPORTANCE.
OUR SYSTEM FEATURES OVER SEVENTY
FIVE THOUSAND ACRES THAT
INCLUDES REGIONAL PARKS THAT
HAVE CAMPING AND FISHING AND
OTHER AMENITIES.
WE ALSO HAVE HISTORIC SITES
ECOLOGICAL RESERVES A HUNDRED
AND SIXTY NINE MILES OF TRAILS
AND COUNTING. AT A STATE OF THE
ART SPORTS PERKY AND ALSO
ACTIVELY MANAGED ECOLOGICAL
HABITATS IN ENVIRONMENTALLY
SENSITIVE AREAS. ON A TWENTY
FIFTH ANNIVERSARY IN TWENTY
FIFTEEN WE WERE RECEIVED
ACCREDITATION OF A NATIONAL
STATUS FROM CAP ROW WHICH IS
KEY.
OTHER COMMISSION FOR
ACCREDITATION OF PARK AND
RECREATION AGENCIES
A FOR DEMONSTRATING THE HIGHEST
LEVEL OF STANDARDS IN ETHICAL
AND PERFORM OF PROFESSIONAL
PRACTICES. IN THE DELIVERY OF
PARK AND REC PROGRAMS.
I WE'RE THE SECOND AGENCY IN
CALIFORNIA BEHIND THE CITY OF
SAN DIEGO TO RECEIVE THIS
NATIONAL ACCREDITATION. AND THE
FIRST COUNTY IN ALL OF
CALIFORNIA TO RECEIVE THE HONOR.
SO WE HOLD OURSELVES TO VERY
HIGH STANDARDS AND WE STRIVE TO
PROVIDE THE PUBLIC WITH SUPERIOR
PARKS AND SERVICES.
SO NOW ON TO THE DETAILS AS TO
WHY WE'RE REQUESTING.
THIS INCREASE OUR PURCHASING
POWER.
THE NRP A WHICH IS THE NATIONAL
PARK AND RECREATION AGENCY THEY
PUBLISH AN ANNUAL AGENCY YOU
PERFORMANCE REVIEW REPORTS THAT
COMPILES STATISTICS THAT HAVE
BEEN VOLUNTARILY SUBMITTED BY.
PARK AND REC AGENCIES ALL ACROSS
THE NATION AND REPORTS ON TRENDS
AND PLUS A SPECIFIC STATISTICS
AND STANDARDS.
THE RECENTLY RELEASED TWENTY
EIGHTEEN REPORTS.
REPORTED THAT THE NATIONAL
AVERAGE OPERATING EXPENDITURES
FOR PARKS AND REC AGENCIES IS
AROUND THREE POINT THREE
MILLION.
RIFF CHO PARKS IS THAT EIGHTEEN
MILLION.
WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER
THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.
AND THERE ARE SEVEN OTHER
CALIFORNIA AGENCIES THAT ARE
COMPARABLE TO OURS.
AND HERE'S WHERE THE INTERESTING
STATISTICS COME INTO PLAY.
AND IT RELATES TO OPERATING
EXPENDITURES PER CAPITA.
THE OTHER CALIFORNIA AGENCIES
WHO REPORTED THEIR EXPENDITURES
ARE SPENDING ON AVERAGE A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX DOLLARS
FOR EVERY TEN THOUSAND OF THEIR
CITIZENS.
RIFF CHO PARKS WE HAVE ONLY
EIGHT DOLLARS PER TEN THOUSAND
CITIZENS.
SO THAT RIGHT THERE SHOULD SHOW
YOU THAT WE'RE OPERATING ON A
SHOE
STRING BUDGETS BUT YET WE'RE
STILL AN AWARD WINNING AND
NATIONALLY CREDITED AGENCY.
ADDITIONALLY OF THE EIGHTEEN
MILLION THAT WE HAVE TO SPEND
EACH YEAR OF FORTY SEVEN PERCENT
OF THAT HOUSE TO COME FROM
EARNED REVENUE. OUR PROPERTY TAX
INCREMENT ONLY COVERS THIRTY
FOUR PERCENT OF OUR OPERATIONS
SO THE REST HAS TO BE EARNED
THROUGH USER FEES. AND THROUGH
GRANTS AND SPONSORSHIPS SO WE
REALLY HAVE TO FOCUS ON BEING
EFFICIENT AND KEEPING OUR
ADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEAD VERY
LOW.
ASSEMBLY BILL TWENTY ONE THIRTY
SEVEN WOULD GRANT OUR GENERAL
MANAGER THE AUTHORITY TO.
DO NO BID PROCUREMENT OF UP TO
FIFTY THOUSAND WHICH WOULD
DOUBLE IT FROM TWENTY FIVE
THOUSAND.
WE DO A LOT OF SPECIALIZED
PROCUREMENTS WHERE WE HAVE TO GO
THROUGH THE PUBLIC VETTING
PROCESS AND WE GENERALLY END UP
WITH MAYBE ONE VENDOR BECAUSE
DESPITE SERVICES ARE SO
SPECIALIZED.
SO THE EXTRA MINISTRY OF COST TO
DO THAT PROCESS IS MONEY THAT WE
COULD MUCH BETTER SPENT
ELSEWHERE IN OUR PARKS AND IN
OUR PROGRAMS FOR THE PUBLIC.
SO WE WOULD LIKE TO I'M
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST FOR YOUR
AYE VOTES AND A SPECIAL THANK
YOU TO SENATOR.
TO ASSEMBLY MEMBER MAYES FOR.
SUPPORTING THIS BILL. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH ANYONE ELSE AND OF
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL.
THE MADAM CHAIR.
