AND START.
IN OUR FIRST BILL THIS AFTERNOON
IS ITEM NUMBER.
FOUR AB FOR EIGHTY FIVE MISTER
MEDINA.
WELCOME.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
TODAY I RESENT AB.
FOR EIGHTY FIVE AB FOR YOU FIVE
SIX TWO IS EXPAND ON CURRENT LAW
TO INFORM THE PUBLIC WITH MORE
DETAILED INFORMATION.
WHEN LOCAL DISTRICTS APPROVED
TAXPAYER FUNDED SUBSIDIES FOR
WAREHOUSE DISTRIBUTION CENTERS?
REACH RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT
WAREHOUSES ARE NOT BENEFITING
THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES THAT
THEY'RE BUILT IN.
THE ECONOMIC POLICY INSTITUTE
REPORT ENTITLED UNFULFILLED
PROMISES.
ECONOMIST STATE THAT AMAZON
FULFILLMENT CENTERS ARE
INEFFECTIVE AND PROVIDING NET
JOB GROWTH.
SOME OF THE JOBS ARE TEMPORARY
SEASONAL.
AND FUTURE PLAN FOR AUTOMATION
CAUSING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
TO FLUCTUATE.
AND THROWING FAMILIES INTO
ECONOMIC INSTABILITY.
THIS BILL IS AIMED AT HOLDING
THOSE COMPANIES ACCOUNTABLE TO
THE PROMISES MADE WHEN SUBSIDIES
WERE BEING ASKED.
FOR WITH ME TODAY IN SUPPORT OF
THE BILL IS SERRA FLOCKS FROM
THE CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION.
AND SHERRY OUR HOUSE JEAN FROM
THE WAREHOUSE WORKERS RESOURCE
CENTER [inaudible]
WELCOME.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
THEIR FLOCKS CALIFORNIA LABOR
FEDERATION AND LABOR FEDERATION
HAS A LONG HISTORY OF ADVOCATING
FOR ACCOUNTABILITY AND
TRANSPARENCY AND JOB STANDARDS
ON PUBLIC SUBSIDIES BOTH AT THE
STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL.
AND THIS BILL CONTINUES THAT
TRADITION AND ONE OF THE REASONS
WE DO THAT IS BECAUSE EVERY
DOLLAR THAT GOES OUT IN A LOCAL
SUBSIDY TO A BUSINESS.
IS A DOLLAR THAT CAN'T BE USED
FOR OTHER PRIORITIES LIKE PARKS
ROADS SCHOOLS AND SO WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WHEN LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS SAY WE'RE GOING TO
GIVE A TAXPAYER SUBSIDY TO A
BUSINESS.
THAT MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY
ARE GETTING A RETURN ON THEIR
INVESTMENT AND TO BE CLEAR THE
DISCLOSURE REQUIRED IN THIS BILL.
ONLY APPLIES WHEN A WAREHOUSE
TAKES A SUBSIDY OF OVER A
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
IF THEY DON'T WANT TO DISCLOSE
ANY OF THE INFORMATION THEY
DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THE LOCAL
SUBSIDY -- THEY CAN GET
SUBSIDIES IN OTHER PLACES OR
JUST LOCATE AND WHAT THIS BILL
DOES IS IT REALLY SAYS OKAY.
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A
SUBSIDY WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT
KIND OF JOBS YOU'RE CREATING
WHAT ARE THE QUALITY ARE THEY
GOING TO HAVE BENEFITS ARE THE
TEMPORARY ARE THEY PART TIME.
AND WE WANT TO HAVE THAT
INFORMATION IN A PUBLIC MEETING
SO THE COMMUNITY WILL KNOW WHEN
YOU HAVE THESE MILLION SQUARE
FOOT WAREHOUSE IS MOVING IN WHAT
THEY'RE GOING TO BE GETTING.
BECAUSE THE LAST THING WE WANT
IS FOR LOCAL TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO
BE GOING TO A WAREHOUSE THAT
BEEN PAYS SO LITTLE THAT WORKERS
AND UP ON MEDI CAL OR OTHER
PUBLIC BENEFITS BECAUSE THAT IS
DOUBLE DIPPING AND IT DOESN'T.
IMPROVE THE ECONOMY IN THOSE
AREAS.
I WANT TO FOCUS ON FOR PARTS OF
THIS BILL THAT ARE DIFFERENT
FROM WHAT WAS IN THE BILL LAST
YEAR THAT THE COMMITTEE HEARD.
WHICH I THINK IMPROVE THE BILL
ONE IS THAT WE REQUIRING
REPORTING ON ANY PLANS FOR
AUTOMATION. TO KNOW WHAT JOBS
ARE GOING TO BE ELIMINATED WE
ARE ALSO SET OUT ASKING FOR
REPORTING TO GO BIZ THE STATE
AGENCY SO WILL BE EASY FOR US TO
SEE.
GET A PICTURE OF WHERE SUBSIDIES
ARE GOING ACROSS THE STATE WERE
ASKING IF THERE IS ANY JUST FOR
THIS THE THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO
DISCLOSE IF THERE'S ANY KIND OF
ACCOUNTABILITY OR CLAW BACK.
AND INCLUDED IN THE CONTRACT AND
LASTLY THERE IS A BAN ON NON
DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT SIGNED
BETWEEN LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THE
WAREHOUSE -- AND DISTRIBUTION
CENTERS DURING NEGOTIATIONS FOR
THE LIFE OF THE CONTRACT PARTLY
THAT COMES OUT OF THE FACT THAT
AMAZON.
WENT THROUGH AND DID A
COMPETITION GOT ALL THIS
INFORMATION FROM COMMUNITIES AND
THEN NO ONE OF THE COMMUNITY WAS
ALLOWED TO KNOW WAS IN THE DEAL
THEY MADE THEM SIGN
NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS WHICH
WE THINK IT'S FUNDAMENTALLY.
ANTI DEMOCRATIC ANTI TRANSPARENT
FOR THAT REASON WE'RE PROUD TO
SUPPORT.
THANK YOU WELCOME THANK YOU --
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE -- GOOD AFTERNOON
MY NAME IS SHERRY ARE COST YOU
I'M THE DIRECTOR OF THE
WAREHOUSE WORKER RESOURCE CENTER.
WE'RE A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION
BASED IN THE INLAND EMPIRE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOCUSED ON
SUPPORTING WAREHOUSE WORKERS
ESPECIALLY LOW WAGE WORKERS
WAREHOUSE WORKERS IN THE SECTOR
AND THEIR FAMILIES.
THROUGH EDUCATION ADVOCACY IN
ACTION -- THEM HERE BECAUSE THIS
BILL IS SOMETHING THAT WILL.
ESPECIALLY BENEFIT OF FOLKS IN
THE INLAND EMPIRE REGION BUT
ALSO ACROSS INLAND HEALTH
SOUTHERN ISLAND CALIFORNIA --
LAST TWENTY YEARS WAREHOUSING
AND DISTRIBUTION IS BECOME A KEY
SECTOR OF THE INLAND CALIFORNIA
ECONOMY -- OVER FIVE HER MILLION
SQUARE FEET OF WAREHOUSING SPACE
THE POINT OVER A HUNDRED
THOUSAND PEOPLE -- HAVE COME
INTO THE INLAND REGION IN THE
LAST TWENTY YEARS THERE'S OVER --
TO FIFTY THOUSAND PEOPLE ACROSS
THE STATE ARE EMPLOYED IN
WAREHOUSES.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT LEADERS
HAVE CLAIMED THAT LOGISTICS THE
BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR JOB GROWTH
IN THESE AREAS.
AS A RESULT MUNICIPALITIES ARE
OFFERING MAJOR TAX INCENTIVES
INFRASTRUCTURE AND OTHER
SUBSIDIES TO EMPLOYERS TO SITE
IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
ACCORDING -- TO ONE SOURCE GOOD
JOBS FIRST OVER FOUR POINT THREE
BILLION DOLLARS IN SUBSIDIES
HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO FREIGHT
LOGISTICS COMPANIES IN
CALIFORNIA IN THE LAST TWENTY
FIVE YEARS.
AT THE SAME TIME THE QUALITY OF
THE JOBS CREATED BY THESE
FACILITIES IS INCONSISTENT ON
CLEAR.
RESEARCH BY UCLA INTO THE TWO
THOUSAND FIFTEEN FOUND THAT OVER
HALF THE WAREHOUSE JOBS IN THESE
FACILITIES IN ONTARIO.
WERE EMPLOYING WORKERS WERE
INPUT CLING MAJORITY OF WORKERS
THROUGH STAFFING AGENCIES AT OR
CLOSE TO MINIMUM WAGE WITH NO
BENEFITS.
NO CONSISTENCY OR ABILITY TO
KNOW IF YOU'LL HAVE WORK THE
NEXT DAY A LITTLE ON THE NEXT
WEEK.
THESE CONDITIONS ARE
UNACCEPTABLE.
LAST YEAR THE BROOKINGS
INSTITUTION SUPPORTED BY
REGIONAL BUSINESS GROUPS OF UP
TO REPORT ON THE REGIONAL
ECONOMY IN THE INLAND EMPIRE.
I FOUND THAT WHILE WAREHOUSE JOB
WHAT WAREHOUSE GROWTH HAS --
DRIVEN EMPLOYMENT GROWTH AND IN
THE INLAND EMPIRE FOR THE LAST
TWENTY YEARS.
IN THAT PERIOD.
WAIT WAIT JUST AN EARNINGS OF
ACTUALLY DROPPED AND THE POVERTY
RATE HAS IT ACTUALLY INCREASED --
FIT FOCUSING OUR REGIONAL
ECONOMY ON THIS SECTOR HAS
ACTUALLY BEEN DETRIMENTAL SINCE
THE TWO THOUSAND BROOKINGS
RECOMMENDED TO THE ECONOMIC
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGENCY.
I COMING TO THAT UP DEVELOPING
AGENCIES OF THE REGION THAT THEY
STOP FOCUSING AS MUCH ON
WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION AND
LOOK AT OTHER INDUSTRIES LIKE
MANUFACTURING.
WE THINK THAT THAT THERE'S
ACTUALLY OPPORTUNITY HERE FOR US
TO LOOK AT THE WAY HOUSING HAS
BEEN BUILT A NEW WAREHOUSE AND
IS COMING INTO THIS REGION.
AND ASK FOR TRANSPARENCY AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THESE TO BE GOOD
JOBS -- THIS BILL IS JUST A
SMALL STEP IN THAT DIRECTION TO
KNOW WHAT KIND OF JOBS ARE BEING
CREATED HOW MANY -- AND WHAT YOU
KNOW WHAT OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE
MADE TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES -- THE
CURRENT DISCLOSURE LAWS ARE
INADEQUATE AND THAT NUMBER OF
NUMBER QUALITY OF JOBS ARE NOT
THAT ARE BEING CREATED NOT CLEAR --
WITH SEVERAL INSTANCES IN
EXAMPLES OF THAT HAPPENING IN
OUR COMMUNITY -- QVC -- OP OPEN
THE WAREHOUSE IN ONTARIO IN
TWENTY SIXTEEN THERE IS TO BOTH
STATE CALIFORNIA COMPETES BUT
ALSO LOCAL SUBSIDIES FROM THE
CITY OF ONTARIO -- THE CITY
OFFERED FIFTY TO THIS DAY THE
COMPANY 55% OF THE TAX REVENUE
TO BE RETURNED TO THE COMPANY --
THEY TOLD THE STATE THAT THEY
WOULD HAVE OVER NINE HUNDRED
EMPLOYEES BY NOW BUT I DRIVE BY
THAT FACILITY ALMOST EVERY DAY
ON THE WAY TO WORK.
AND THERE'S NEVER MORE THAN
FIFTY OR SIXTY CARS IN THE
PARKING LOT -- TO ISSUE MERCHANT
HOME SHOPPING NETWORK LAST YEAR
HOME SHOPPING WHAT NETWORK
RECEIVED -- SIMILAR TAX
ABATEMENT FROM THE CITY OF
FONTANA RIGHT NEXT DOOR 50% OF
THE TAX -- BIZRATE RETURNED IN
FONTANA TO HOME SHOPPING NETWORK
NOW THAT SAME COMPANY THAT NOW
MERGED COMPANY IS OFFERING TO
FACILITIES -- WITH THESE TAX
ABATEMENTS BUT AT THE SAME TIME
IT'S NOT CLEAR HOW MANY JOBS
HAVE BEEN CREATED AND WHAT THE
BENEFITS ARE TO THE COMMUNITY.
AND FINALLY AMAZON ONE OF THE
RICHEST COMPANIES OF THE WORLD
IS PLAYING THIS GAME.
AFTER RECEIVING SIGNIFICANT
STATE TAX INCENTIVES IN TWENTY
TWELVE TO OPEN IN SEVERAL
FACILITIES ACROSS THE STATE --
IN TWENTY SIXTEEN THEY RECEIVED --
ABATEMENTS FOR THE CITY OF
FRESNO FOR UP TO THIRTY MILLION
DOLLARS.
WINNERS IN THE CITY OF FRESNO
SUPPOSED TO THIS BILL AND WE ASK
WHY WHY ARE WE ALL WE'RE ASKING
FOR IS TRANSPARENCY ABOUT.
THE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS IN
OUR COMMUNITIES.
RESCUE FOR INFORMATION ABOUT
PLAN FOR GROWTH GROWTH.
IN INCLUDING AUTOMATION US SOME
THAT'S COMING REALLY QUICKLY IN
THE SECTOR.
WE'RE ASKING WHY CITIES NEED TO
HOLD NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS
WITH DEVELOPERS WAREHOUSE

WORKING CONDITIONS FOR THE
SECTOR -- THANK YOU.

CONCERNED ABOUT SOME OF THE
ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES THAT ARE
REQUIRED AND WE'RE CONCERNED
THAT THEY MAY BE DIFFICULT TO
PROVIDE -- AND IT COULD AFFECT
OUR ABILITY TO REMAIN
COMPETITIVE AMONG OTHER STATES
IN THE TRACK GOOD PAYING JOBS
JUST FOR YOUR BACKGROUND FRESNO
HAS SEEN UNPRECEDENTED X.
UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS WITH THREE
AECOM ARE CENTERS -- COMING TO
OUR REGION THESE DEVELOPMENTS
HAVE HELP CHIP AWAY AT AWAY AT
THE GENERATIONAL POVERTY THAT
WE'VE EXPERIENCED -- WENDY AND
WE HAVE AT LEAST FOUR THOUSAND
ESTIMATED NEW JOBS BECAUSE OF
THESE DEVELOPMENTS.
I'M ADDITIONALLY THEY HAVE SENT
FRESNO IS UNEMPLOYMENT RATE TO A
HISTORIC LOW WHICH IS AROUND 6% --
WHICH IS GOOD FOR FRESNO HOWEVER
WE STILL HAVE 30% OF OUR
POPULATION -- STRUGGLING TO
SURVIVE WITH INCOMES UNDER THE
FEDERAL POVERTY LINE AND AND
THAT STILL FAR BEHIND
CALIFORNIA'S FOUR POINT 2%
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE.
IN SHORT WE'RE STILL VERY MUCH
INTERESTED IN CREATING NEW JOBS
FOR THE REGION WHICH EIGHT AND I
KNOW IS ALSO SHARED INTERESTS
THAT THE AUTHOR IN THE SPONSORS
HAVE -- WE CERTAINLY DO
UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY

INTEREST IN ENSURING THAT -- THE
PROJECT PROPONENTS ARE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PROVISIONS
THAT WE AGREED -- TO VERY MUCH
ARE INCENTIVES THAT ARE GIVEN
ARE DIRECTLY TIED TO NET JOBS
THAT ARE ADDED FOR FRESNO SO WE
HAVE -- VARIOUS MECHANISMS TO
ALSO PROVIDE LOOK BACKS WITHIN

MUNICIPALITIES BUT THAT'S VERY
MUCH SOMETHING THAT FRESNO HAS
BEEN PASSIONATE AND ENSURING
THAT THERE'S THAT LET MEASURE OF
CASH ACCOUNTABILITY -- HOWEVER
WHERE IT WE ARE CONCERNED THAT
EIGHTY FOUR EIGHTY FIVE MAY HAVE
SOME COME.
IN THERE THAT -- REQUIRE PREPARE
PROPRIETARY DATA -- ANYTHING
THAT JUST LEAVES IN A PLACE OF
UNCERTAINTY WE'RE NOT SURE IF

FURNISHED TO US SINCE AND THAT
PUTS US IN AN UNTENABLE POSITION
OF WONDERING -- YOU KNOW WILL WE
SNOT WELL WE NO LONGER SEE THE
KIND OF SUCCESS THAT WE HAVE
SEEN WITH THESE ECONOMIC
INCENTIVE AGREEMENTS IN THE PAST
I'M IF THIS BILL IS PASSED WITH.
SOME OF THESE PROVISIONS -- AC
UNIT WE THINK THAT WITHOUT THE
WITHOUT SPECIFIC CHANGES WHICH
WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE AUTHORS
OFFICE ON WERE CONCERNED THAT
THIS COULD HAMPER OUR ABILITY TO
DIVERSIFY OUR ECONOMY.
AND RAISE WAGES AND LOWER ARE
STUBBORN UNEMPLOYMENT RATE SO WE

THANK YOU MISTER VICE CHAIR HER
TO PRESENT AB NINE FORTY FIVE AM
ENSURE IT WHICH WOULD ALLOW
LOCAL AGENCIES THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA. TO INCREASE THE
AMOUNT OF THEIR SURPLUS FUNDS
THAT THEY MAY INVEST IN SECURE
FINANCIAL INVESTMENTS CALLED
RECIPROCAL DEPOSITS.
THIS BILL DOESN'T REQUIRE THAT
AGENCIES DO THAT BUT IT WOULD BE
PERMISSIVE IF IT MAKES FINANCIAL
SENSE FOR THAT AGENCY A CURRENT
LAW PLACES MANY RESTRICTIONS ON
THE TYPE INVESTMENT OF SURPLUS
FUNDS.
FROM LOCAL LOCAL AGENCIES MAY
INVEST IN THOSE RESTRICTIONS
INCLUDE ENSURING THE INVESTMENTS
MUST BE MUST HAVE HIGH LIQUIDITY
AND DO NOT POSE A HIGHER RISK TO
THE LOCAL AGENCY.
THE BILL DOESN'T CHANGE ANY OF
THESE RESTRICTIONS IMPORTANT
RESTRICTIONS BUT DOES INCREASE
THE AMOUNT THAT COULD BE USED
FROM AGENCIES SURPLUS FROM 20%.
TO FIFTY A CALIFORNIA IS THE
ONLY STATE IN THE NATION WHICH
HAS SUCH A CAP ON THESE
RECIPROCAL DEPOSITS.
WE ARE SANDERS A NEED FOR
CAUTION BUT THIS IS A SMART
MEASURE WHICH ALLOWS OUR LOCALS.
TO INVEST WITH COMMUNITY BANKS
AND CREDIT UNIONS INSTITUTIONS
ARE GOOD EMPLOYERS GOOD FOR THE
COMMUNITIES PROVIDE FINANCIAL
OPPORTUNITIES TO INDIVIDUALS WHO
ARE OFTEN TURNED AWAY FROM THE
BIG BANKS.
INCREASING THE CAP WILL MEAN
THAT THESE CUTS COMMUNITY BANKS
WILL HAVE MORE ABILITY TO GIVE
OUT CREDIT FOR THINGS LIKE SMALL
BUSINESS LOANS.
THIS WILL HAVE A DIRECT
MULTIPLIER EFFECT ON OUR LOCAL
ECONOMIES THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA
WITH ME ARE TO A LOCAL ENTITIES --
WORKING ON BANKING ISSUES FOR

FIVE STAR BANK.
NO WORRIES THEM SOME WOMEN BOB
I'M HERE IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL
THAT I WANTED -- TO EXPRESS --
MIGHT USE ABOUT THIS IF I COULD --
THIS BILL ALLOWS SO IT WILL
ALLOW FOR GREATER FLEXIBILITY ON
BEHALF OF THOSE -- TREASURES
MUNICIPAL OFFICERS IN TERMS OF
UTILIZING RECIPROCAL DEPOSITS.
CURRENTLY BOB SPECIAL DISTRICTS
AND MUNICIPALITIES AND COUNTIES
HAVE THE ABILITY TO
COLLATERALIZED.
PUBLIC DEPOSITS WHICH IS A
REQUIREMENT BY LAW WITH THREE
DISTINCT COLLATERAL SOURCES MIND
THAT'S MUCH SECURITIES QUALIFIED
INVESTMENT SECURITIES.
LETTER CREDIT FROM FHL BE OF SAN
FRANCISCO AND RECIPROCAL
DEPOSITS.
WE THANK OUR BY ALLOWING AN
INCREASE BOB FROM THIRTY TO
FIFTY IN REMOVING THE SUNSET
WHICH THIS BILL -- REQUIRES IS A
VERY GOOD THING FOR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
IT'S PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO
FOLKS IN THE CAPITAL REGION --
BODY YEAR AGO STEVEN I PUT
TOGETHER A PROGRAM CALLED RISE
RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENTS FOR A
STRONG ECONOMY.
SIMPLY IT WORKS LIKE THIS WE
TAKE MUNICIPAL DEPOSITS OR TO
SPECIAL DISTRICT DEPOSITS ARE
COUNTY DEPOSITS.
IN COLLATERALIZED THEM.
UNDER THE THREE METHODS WHICH I
JUST SHARED WITH YOU.
AND WE AGREED TO TURN AROUND AND
LEND THOSE MONEYS BACK INTO OUR
COMMUNITIES. TO DATE WE HAVE
ABOUT A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
OF THOSE TYPES OF DEPOSITS IN IN
OUR INSTITUTIONS AND WE PLAN TO
OUT ABOUT A HUNDRED MILLION BACK
INTO OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
SO WE BELIEVE.
THAT THIS INCREASE IN ALLOWING A
GREATER USE OF RECIPROCAL
DEPOSITS.
WILL ALLOW FOR GREATER USE OF OF
LOCAL DEPOSITS PLACED IN LOCAL
COMMUNITY BANKS.
THIS IS NOT A REQUIREMENT THIS
IS ABSOLUTELY DISCRETIONARY ON
BEHALF OF THE THE TREASURES IN
THE NESTLE PAUL OFFICERS THEY
CAN UTILIZE ANY -- THREE
COLLATERAL PULLS IF YOU WILL.
AND WE THINK THIS IS A GOOD
POLICY FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH IN
OUR COMMUNITIES IN CALIFORNIA

SO WE'RE PROUD OF OUR
ASSOCIATION WITH THOSE PUBLIC
SECTOR ENTITIES.
AB NINE FORTY FIVE IS -- IS A
GOOD DEAL FOR OUR PUBLIC SECTOR
IN THERE FOR PUBLIC POLICY --
AND IT'S A GOOD DEAL FOR OUR
BANKS IT'S A GOOD DEAL FOR THE
PUBLIC SECTOR -- BECAUSE WE CAN
PAY A HIGHER RATE OF INTEREST ON
THOSE DEPOSITS -- WHICH OF
COURSE ARE OUR CUSTOMERS
APPRECIATE THOSE DEPOSITS IS
JAMES NOTED CAN BE MAINTAINED
AND LIQUID ACCOUNTS -- SO THE
TREASURES HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL
OVER THE LIQUIDITY OF THEIR
INVESTMENTS -- THEY ALSO ARE
1100% AT THE I. C. INSURED SO
THERE'S NO SAFETY ISSUES THERE --
AND IT ALLOWS US TO LEND MORE
MONEY OUT -- WITHOUT HAVING TO
COLLATERALIZED THOSE DEPOSITS WE
HAVE MORE ABILITY TO LEND NINETY
INTO OUR COMMUNITIES WHICH
PROMOTES ECONOMIC GROWTH.
AND JOB CREATION SO FOR THOSE
REASONS -- WE RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR A BI NINE
FORTY FIVE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT.
MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS KEVIN
GOLD WITH THE CALIFORNIA BANKERS
ASSOCIATION WE ARE THE SPONSOR
OF THIS MEASURE.
THANK THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING UP
FOR IN THE COMMITTEE FOR
SPENDING TIME CONSIDERING THIS
MEASURE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A
VOTE.
ARTICLE THAT'S THE NUMBER OF
HAVE THE HAVE THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY BANKING NETWORK WE
ALSO THINK ALSO BRINGS FORWARD
AND ASKED FOR AYE VOTE.
ROBERT WILSON WITH THE
CALIFORNIA CREDIT UNION LEAGUE
IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL.
OKAY THANK YOU ANY WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER TERRY
MEMBERS KAREN LAYING OFF OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY
TREASURER'S AND TAX COLLECTORS.
TO BE CLEAR THE COUNTY
TREASURER'S.
HAVE NOT ASKED FOR THIS
LEGISLATION AND THEY DID NOT
FIND THAT THE CAP NEEDS TO BE
RAISED NONE OF THEIR MEMBERS ARE
COMPLAINING THAT THE 30% CAP.
IS RESTRICTING THEIR ABILITY TO
INVEST WITH THESE BANKS.
WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT TYING UP
50% OF THE COUNTY POOL.
WITH THE SURPLUS FUNDS BEING
HALF ABOUT HALF ON A DAILY BASIS
OF THE SCHOOLS DOLLARS IN AN
INSTRUMENT THAT MAY OR MAY NOT
BE LIKE WITH THE THERE'S A
COUPLE DIFFERENT TYPES THAT
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SO WE HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS
WITH ALLOWING THAT INSTRUMENT AT
50% OF THE SURPLUS BECAUSE
WHAT'S CONSIDERED SURPLUS MAY
ACTUALLY BE.
CAPITAL DOLLARS FIRST SCHOOLS
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND THEY'RE
JUST THE BILLS ARE DUE YET SO.
IF A BILL IS DUE AND THOSE FUNDS
ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE IN THE
PUTS PRESSURE ON OTHER POOL
PARTICIPANTS AS IDENTIFIED IN
THE ANALYSIS.
SO WE'RE FINE WITH ELIMINATING
THE SUNSET.
BUT AGAIN THIS IS THE COUNTY
TREASURER'S WHO ARE THE TARGET
OF THIS BILL ARE NOT IDENTIFYING
A PROBLEM WITH THE CURRENT CAP.
THAT THE RESTRICTIONS ON A LOT
EXIST BECAUSE ORANGE COUNTY WENT
BANKRUPT AND WE ARE REQUIRED TO
ABIDE BY IT VERY SPECIFIC
INVESTMENT CRITERIA WE NEED TO
SPREAD THE RISK WE SHOULD NOT BE
CONCENTRATING IT AND WE DON'T
REALLY SEE HOW WE CAN CONTINUE
TO COMPLY WITH.
THE LAW AS IT RELATES TO
SPREADING THE RISK.
OF BY PUTTING 50% OF THE POLLING
ONE THING SO FOR THOSE REASONS
WE ARE OPPOSED UNLESS AMENDED TO
REMOVE THE CAP FOR FOR WITH
EVERY MOVE THAT I'D DEADLINE FOR
THE SUNSET WERE FINE WITH THAT.
ON THE PROGRAM SEEMS TO BE
WORKING BUT AGAIN THERE'S NO
DEMAND FOR THIS INCREASE AND WE
VIEW IT AS BEING CONSISTENT WITH
OTHER PARTS OF THEIR STATUTORY
MANDATE SO WITH THAT WE ASK FOR
YOUR PUT THEM WITH AMENDED --
MOTION THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
QUESTION TO THE COMMITTEE
[inaudible]
GOOD. TO THE LAST WITNESS NOW.
WHEN I WAS MAYOR OF THE CITY?
OUR CITY AND I'VE ALSO OBSERVE
THE COUNTIES COULD PICK.
MANY DIFFERENT -- FUNDS TO BE.
STASH THEIR MONEY.
SOME ARE MORE LIKE MONEY MARKET
FUNDS OTHERS ARE LIKE THIS.
SO.
I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT YOUR
CONCERN IS WHEN YOU HAVE FREEDOM
OF CHOICE OVER SO MANY DIFFERENT
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES OR JUST
SIMPLY TRYING TO PRESERVE YOUR
CAPITAL.
AT THE THE PROMISE OF THE
MEASURE IS 50% IN ONE OF
ANYTHING THERE'S I CAN PROMISE
YOU THERE'S NOT 50% OF THE
COUNTY TREASURY.
AND ANY OF THE FIFTY EIGHT
COUNTIES INVESTED IN ONE THING
AND 30% SEEMS.
A PRETTY HEALTHY NUMBER OF THIS
THAT THE SURPLUS DOLLARS 50%
COULD GET INTO YOU COULD GET
INTO REAL TROUBLE.
AND BECOME ILLIQUID UNDER THE
CITY REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE
RELATED.
TO AFTER ORANGE COUNTY WENT
BANKRUPT IT'S SAFETY FIRST THE
RETURN OF PRINCIPLE NOT RETURN
ON PRINCIPLE.
AND THEN LIQUIDITY AND THEN
YOU'LL NOT BE THE THIRD THING
YOU CONSIDER BUT LIQUIDITY MUST
BE READILY AVAILABLE AND THE 50%
OF THE DOLLARS ARE INVESTED IN
ONE THING.
IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT -- TO
TO ACCESS IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT
THE INSTRUMENT IS.
MR TERROR THE FORCE TO COME AS
PLEASE.
SO MY COMMENT TO THAT IS THEY
ALL THE ENTITIES HAVE A WIDE
VARIETY WHERE THEY WANT TO PUT
THEIR MONEY AND FREEDOM OF
CHOICE.
SO.
JUST BECAUSE IT'S 50% IN ONE
FUND.
HEY MAYBE YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT.
YOUR MONEY IN THAT ONE FUN.
BUT YOU HAVE A MUCH WIDER CHOICE
IN ALL SORTS OF OTHER FUNDS
WHICH I PERSONALLY WOULD FEEL
VERY COMFORTABLE WITH A FIVE AS
A COUNTY SUPERVISOR OR ANY OTHER
LEADER MAKING THOSE DECISIONS --
SO THAT'S MY COMMENT TO YOU TO
THE AUTHOR -- I THINK THIS IS A
WONDERFUL BILL.
AND I THINK IT HELPS BRING
CALIFORNIA UP.
TO THE LEVELS INTERESTS UNITED
STATES [inaudible]
END NEXT.
SESSION I WOULD LIKE TO SEE 75%

THE CONCERN BUT THIS IS --
PERMISSIVE AS WE STATE IN THE
END THERE ARE NUMBER OF
RESTRICTIONS ARE IN PLACE TO

REASONED RESPONSE IN ADDITION.

ON PAGE THREE OF THE ANALYSIS
WHICH CLARIFIES THE AUTHORITY --
THAT THIS BILL CREATES IS
PERMISSIVE.
I'M PROUD TO PRESENT AB FIVE
EIGHTY SEVEN WHICH CREATES A
NARROW EXEMPTION FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY TO SELL
DEED RESTRICTED LAND TO ELIGIBLE
LOW INCOME HOMEOWNERS AND
PROVIDES THE NECESSARY HOUSING
TO THOSE IN NEED.
CURRENT LAW PREVENTS SINGLE
FAMILY LOTS FROM BEING
SUBDIVIDED HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
MONTEREY BAY HAS WORKED WITH THE
CITY OF SANTA CRUZ SINCE TWO
THOUSAND FIVE TO BUILD EIGHTY
USE THAT ARE OWNER OCCUPIED.
AND STRUCTURES THE OWNERSHIP SO
THAT THE LAND IS HELD JOINTLY BY
THE TO HOMEOWNERS AS TENANTS IN
COMMON.
AB FIVE EIGHTY SEVEN QUOTA
PHYSIS PROGRAM WITH THIS
PURCHASE A SPECIFIC EXEMPTION
FOR ORGANIZATIONS LIKE HABITAT
FOR HUMANITY IN ORDER TO SERVE
TWICE AS MANY FAMILIES ON THE
SINGLE FAMILY LOTS OF THEY HAVE
ACCESS.
TO SO THE MODEL OF THAT HABITAT
USES -- IT IS A GREAT
PARTNERSHIP WITH CITIES AND THIS
ALLOWS SET IN THE MIDST OF OUR
HOUSING CRISIS WE CAN USE ALL
THE LAND THAT'S AVAILABLE WITH
WILLING HOMEOWNERS.
AND BUILDERS -- TO HOUSE ARE
VULNERABLE POPULATION AB FIVE
EIGHTY SEVEN WILL ENSURE THAT
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY CAN CONTINUE TO BUILD
INCREASED ABILITY FOR FAMILIES
ACROSS THE STATE.
WITH ME TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT IS
DAVID FOSTER HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY SANTA CRUZ MONTEREY BAY
AND WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE.
K. BEFORE HE BEGINS -- WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S NO
OBJECTION. FOR OUR GENTLEMAN
HERE TO USE A PROP.
THANK YOU OKAY YOU MAY I'M I'M
YOU STILL CITY COUNCIL HERE AND
THEN YOU GOT TO BRING YOUR PETS
SO CATCHERS -- I'M DAVID FOSTER
WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
MONTEREY BAY WE'RE CELEBRATING
OUR THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY
SERVING SANTA CRUZ AND MODERATE
COUNTIES -- STARTING IN TWO
THOUSAND AND FIVE WE STARTED
BUILDING.
PARTNERING WITH THE CITY OF
SANTA CRUZ TO BUILD ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNITS ANYTIME WE HAD A
SINGLE FAMILY HOME A LOT TO
BUILD ON AND WHAT IT DID WAS IT
OPENED UP THE DOOR.
TO BUILDING TWICE AS MANY HOMES.
ON ON ANY GIVEN PARCEL AND AND
IT ALLOWED US ALSO TO SERVE
SMALLER.
FAMILIES A WE'VE GOT A LOT OF A
SINGLE AND AND TO CARRY IT -- TO
TO HOME A TWO PERSON HOUSEHOLDS
NOW THAT CAN'T BE SERVED WITH
THE THREE OR FOUR BEDROOM HOUSE
ANYMORE.
THIS OPEN THE DOOR TO
HOMEOWNERSHIP FOR THEM AND SO
ALTOGETHER WE BUILT EIGHT HOMES
FOR OF THEM OVER A DISS AND FOUR
OF THEM THEM BEING THE MAIN
HOMES.
AND ALTHOUGH IT'S STRANGE TO
COME WITH A BILL OF PROPOSED SO
WE ARE.
ACTUALLY HAVE A TRACK RECORD
ALREADY OF EIGHT HOMES -- THREE
OF THEM HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN SOLD
BACK TO HABITAT WE FIX THEM UP
AND SOLD THEM TO NEW FAMILIES --
WHAT'S NICE ABOUT THE PROGRAM IS
IT OFFERS PERMANENT
AFFORDABILITY FOR THOSE HOMES NO
MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THEY
TRANSFER BACK AND FORTH -- SO
HOW BOTH FOR OUR COUNTY AND FOR
BUTTE COUNTY NOW WE HAVE SITES
AVAILABLE TO DO THIS AGAIN AND
WE'D LIKE TO HAVE.
A WITH THIS BILL IN PLACE THAT
WILL ALLOW US TO TO BUILD SOME
EXCESS REBELLING UNITS I THINK
ACROSS THE THE COUNTRY OR ACROSS
THE STATE NOW -- LOCAL AND STATE
ORDINANCES ARE ENCOURAGING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A TO USE AND THIS
WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR SOME OF
THOSE UNITS TO BE -- PERMANENTLY
AFFORDABLE WITH HOMEOWNERSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES [inaudible]
THANK YOU [inaudible]

THE TOPIC OF EIGHTY USE OR WOULD
YOU LIKE TO SERVE WHY DON'T YOU
GO AHEAD [inaudible]
HELLO.
WELL ALL BEGIN BY ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEE'S PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
THAT AT A FIVE YEAR SUNSET TO
THE OWNER OCCUPANCY PROVISIONS
OF THE BILL AND AS YOU ALL KNOW
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS ARE AN
INNOVATIVE AND AFFORDABLE
HOUSING OPTIONS FOR MANY
CALIFORNIANS.
OVER THE PAST YEAR THOUSANDS
HAVE BEEN BUILT AROUND THE STATE --
TO OR PERMITTED AROUND THE STATE
AND THIS IS AS A RESULT OF OUR
LEGISLATION SO WE SHOULD BE --
GRATEFUL -- FOR US SOMETHING
THAT HAS RESULTED IN SO MANY
UNITS -- NOT ALL OF OUR
LEGISLATION DOES THAT.
UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE SOME
BARRIERS TO EIGHTY YOU
CONSTRUCTION THAT STILL REMAIN
AND A. B. EIGHT EIGHT ONE SIX
REDUCE THOSE BY.
UPDATING AND CLARIFYING THE
STATUTE THEM.
THE MEASURE DOES A FEW THINGS
FIRST IT CLARIFIES SEVERAL
DEFINITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
INCLUDING THE DEFINITION OF
PUBLIC TRANSIT.
AND EIGHTY IS DISTANCE FROM
TRANSIT ON THE TYPES OF EXISTING
STRUCTURES THE CAN BE CONVERTED
TO EIGHTY YEARS.
SECONDLY IT REMOVES PROVISIONS
THAT HAVE GIVEN CITIES.
SOME -- A REASONABLY BROAD
DISCRETION FOR DENYING EIGHTY
YOU PERMITS AND FINALLY IT
REMOVES THE OWNER OCCUPANCY
REQUIREMENT A IN THE EXISTING
STATUTE WHICH SUBJECTS EIGHTY
YEARS TO REQUIREMENT THAT IS NOT

MEMBER BLOOM A WELCOME AGAIN
THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN AB
SEVENTEEN FORTY THREE WILL
EXTEND THE PROPERTY TAX WELL FOR
EXEMPTION. FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS TO INCLUDE
BELARUS SPECIAL TAXES.
THE MELROSE COMMUNITY FACILITIES
ACT WAS PASSED WAY BACK IN
NINETEEN EIGHTY TWO IS A
RESPONSE TO PROPOSITION.
THIRTEEN AND IT ALLOWS COUNTY
CITIES SPECIAL DISTRICTS OR
JOINT POWER TO ESTABLISH A
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT
WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE VOTERS.
RESIDENTS RESIDING IN A
COMMUNITY FACILITIES DISTRICT
ARE ASSESSED A SPECIAL TAX.
ON TOP OF THEIR PROPERTY TAX TO
HELP FUND LOCAL SERVICES
INCLUDING SCHOOLS AND CITY
MAINTENANCE SERVICES.
CURRENTLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROJECTS ARE EXEMPT FROM PAYING
PROPERTY TAXES UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION.
THE PROPERTY TAX WELL FOR
EXEMPTION HELPS REDUCE THE
ANNUAL OPERATING COSTS OF LOW
INCOME HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS AND
IS CRUCIAL TO ENSURING THE
FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY.
OF LOW INCOME HOUSING.
BUT THE EXEMPTION DOES NOT
INCLUDE THE BELARUS SPECIAL TAX
WHICH CAN BE AS MUCH AS A
THOUSAND DOLLARS PER UNIT PER
YEAR.
CALIFORNIANS NEED ONE POINT FOUR
MILLION MORE AFFORDABLE RENTAL
HOMES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF LOW
INCOME.
HOUSEHOLDS AND RENTERS NEED TO
EARN THREE AND A HALF TIMES THE
STATE MINIMUM WAGE TO AFFORD THE
AVERAGE MONTHLY RENT.
THE STATE LEGISLATURE IS AWARE
OF HIS ONGOING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING CRISIS IN THIS PAST MANY
CRUCIAL POLICIES TO HELP FINANCE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND REMOVE

ISSUE -- AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER BUT
MENTION AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS
EXAM FROM PAYING PROPERTY TAXES
IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE ANNUAL
OPERATING COSTS OF LOW INCOME
HOUSING WHICH IS CRUCIAL TO
MAINTAIN THE FINANCIAL
FEASIBILITY OF THESE PROJECTS
THIS EXEMPTION -- MOST RECENTLY --
WAS THE INTENT OF THE EXEMPTION
MOST RECENTLY WAS EXTENDED BY
THE LEGISLATURE IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN AS IT RELATES TO
PAYMENTS AND LIVE TAXATION.
SIMILARLY YEAH ALTHOUGH NOT

I REMEMBER THIRTEEN COM ORDERED
OF AB.
ELEVEN HUNDRED WELCOME WELCOME
HOW ARE YOU. FIFTEEN STILL
STANDING.
WELL GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR
AND MEMBERS.
I AM HERE ON THIS WEDNESDAY
PRESENTING AB ELEVEN HUNDRED
WHICH WILL ALIGN THE CALIFORNIA
BUILDING CODE.
WITH LOCAL PARKING ORDINANCES TO
SUPPORT ELECTRIC VEHICLE.
CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE.
WHEN AN EEVEE CHARGING STATION
IS INSTALLED AT A PARKING SPACE
THE BUILDING CODE DEFINES
EXPLICITLY?
IT IS A CHARGING SPOT AND NO
LONGER A PARKING SPOT.
THE BUILDING CODE ALSO REQUIRES
THAT ONE OF THE FIRST FOUR
CHARGERS INSTALLED IN A LOT TO
BE INSTALLED IN A VAN ACCESSIBLE
SIZE SPACE.
WHICH PHYSICALLY REQUIRES
COMBINING TO NORMAL SIZE SPOTS.
THESE REQUIREMENTS RESULT IN
MANY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS REQUIRING
EVEY CHARGING COMPANIES TO
CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PARKING
SPACES TO OFFSET THE LOST
PARKING SPACE. TO MEET LOCAL
PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
BUILDING AN ADDITIONAL PARKING
SPACES OFTEN COSTLY OR
TECHNICALLY FEASIBLE CAUSING
CHARGING PROJECTS TO BE DROPPED
ENTIRELY.
SUCH TECHNICAL ISSUES CREATE
ARBITRARY BARRIERS TO STATION
DEPLOYMENT WHICH IS INCONSISTENT
WITH OUR LONG TERM CLIMATE GOALS
HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
SOMEONE IS A POWER THESE
INCLUDING SO NO MIND SACRAMENTO
COUNTIES AND THE CITIES OF
STOCKTON AND LOS ANGELES TO NAME
A FEW.
HAVE RECOGNIZE THESE ISSUES AND
HAVE PASSED ORDINANCES TO FIX
SOME OF THEM.
HOWEVER MOST OTHER
MUNICIPALITIES HAVE NOT TAKEN
SUCH MEASURES.
WE NEED TO HELP COMMUNITIES
ACCESS THIS IMPORTANT TECHNOLOGY
TO INCREASE CONSUMER CONFIDENCE
IN E. VIS.
A. B. ELEVEN HUNDRED HELPS
ACHIEVE THIS BY CLARIFYING THAT
PARKING STALLS WITH EVEY
CHARGING STATIONS CAN STILL
COUNT TOWARDS PARKING
REQUIREMENTS AND WOULD ALSO
ALLOW VAN ACCESSIBLE EVEY SPACES
TO COUNT AS TWO SPARKING PARKING
SPACES. FOR PURPOSES OF
COMPLYING WITH PARKING
REQUIREMENTS.
TODAY WITH ME AND SUPPORT IS
COREY BOLAS WITH THE ELECTRIC
VEHICLE CHARGING ASSOCIATION
WELCOME CURRENT.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS CORBELS WITH
THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
ASSOCIATION -- WE ARE COMPRISED
OF LEADING COMPANIES THAT DESIGN
MANUFACTURE INSTALL AND OPERATE --
EVEY CHARGING EQUIPMENT AND
SERVICES MOST OF OUR COMPANIES
ARE HEADQUARTERED HERE IN
CALIFORNIA -- SO THE STATE HAS
VERY AMBITIOUS EVEY DEPLOYMENT
GOALS OF ONE POINT FIVE MILLION
BY -- TWENTY TWENTY FIVE FIVE
MILLION BY TWENTY THIRTY BUT
ALSO AN AMBITIOUS EVEY CHARGING
DEPLOYMENT GOAL OF TWO HUNDRED
FIFTY THOUSAND PUBLIC CHARGERS
BY.
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE WE
WHOLEHEARTEDLY EMBRACE THOSE
GOALS -- BUT IT IS ALSO GOING TO
MEAN THAT THE STATE NEEDS TO
INCREASINGLY FOCUS ON REDUCING
BARRIERS TO DEPLOYMENT.
AND THE ISSUES LAID OUT BY THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER ARE REALLY HUGE
ONES FOR US IN TERMS OF
INSTALLING PROJECTS.
AND WE LOSE SCORES OF PROJECTS
EVERY YEAR TO THESE TECHNICAL
ISSUES THAT SHE'S TOUCHED ON AND
JUST BECAUSE OF THE ADDED COSTS
BY BUILDING ANOTHER PARKING
SPACE OR IT'S BECAUSE IT'S
OFTENTIMES TECHNICALLY IN
FEASIBLE WE WE WE JUST CAN'T DO
IT BASED ON HOW THE SPACE IS
BUILT OUT -- AND IN THE CASE OF
DEFINING A PARKING STALL AS A
CHARGING STALL AND THE CAR IS
STILL PARKED WALL YOU'RE
CHARGING SO THE PARKING SPOT AS
WE KNOW IT ISN'T LOST IT IS
STILL THERE -- IN THIS IS NOT A
UNIQUE ISSUE IN ANY ONE CITY OR
COUNTY IT'S WHERE EXPERIENCE IT
EXPERIENCING IT ACROSS THE STATE --
IN MANY PLACES AND WHILE I'M A
LOT OF JURISDICTIONS HAVE TAKEN
ACTION TO FIX THOSE TECHNICAL
ISSUES THOSE ARE IN THE MINORITY --
AS THE ASSEMBLYMEMBERS POINTED
OUT -- SO THE END RESULT IS WE
MISS OUT ON TONS OF PRIME
LOCATIONS TO INSTALL CHARGERS
AND THAT'S JUST.
NOT HELPFUL AS IT RELATES TO OUR
DEPLOYMENT GOALS SO -- THIS BILL
WILL FIX THOSE ISSUES AND HELP
TAKE THIS A STEP FORWARD IN THAT
DIRECTION SO WE RESPECTFULLY OR
DRIVE OUT.

THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MISTER

DEPARTMENT OF WATER AND POWER.
I'LL LE KEEP IT SHORT THE THE
ANALYSIS WAS A BLANK V. AND AND
OF THE VERY PRECIADO IT.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- THE
BEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND IS WE

OPPORTUNITIES TO UC'S RATE
REDUCTION BONDS. ONE IS -- AN
EXAMPLE -- AND MISTER HIS
ERRANDS DISTRICT WHICH IS SAN
FERNANDO VALLEY GROUNDWATER
CLEANUP.
WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN
PREPARING TO UC'S RATE REDUCTION

PLANS TO TRY TO REDUCE WASTE
WATER DISCHARGE FROM THE
HYPERION PLAN -- AND SO FOR YOU

SANITATION DISCHARGES AND BE

NUMBER SEVENTEEN AB FIFTEEN
FIFTY ONE ASSEMBLYMEMBER DAILY
WELCOME.
WITH THE STATE.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS THIS BILL PROPOSES TO
CHANGES TO THE PROPERTY ASSESSED
CLEAN ENERGY PROGRAM WHICH IS
ALSO KNOWN AS PACE
IT REQUIRES PACE ADMINISTRATORS
TO PROVIDE PROPERTY OWNERS WITH
A ONE PAGE DISCLOSURE FORM.
PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO A
CONTRACT THE FORMAL CONTAIN
BASIC AND IMPORTANT FINANCIAL
INFORMATION.
SECONDLY THIS BILL PROVIDED
PROHIBITS PACE ADMINISTRATORS
FROM CHARGING PROPERTY OWNERS A
PREPAYMENT PENALTY.
THE LEGISLATURE ESTABLISHED PACE
PROGRAM BACK IN TWO THOUSAND AND
EIGHT WE'VE MADE A NUMBER OF
IMPROVEMENTS IN FINE TUNINGS TO
PACE OVER THE YEARS.
THIS BILL BUILDS UPON PREVIOUS
LEGISLATIVE EFFORTS BY PROVIDING
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS TO
PROPERTY OWNERS CONSIDERING A
PACE AGREEMENT.
WITH ME TODAY IS ANNA BUCK
REPRESENTING THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS.
WELCOME THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR
HAVING ME ANNA BACK ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS AB FIFTEEN FIFTY ONE
DOES TWO THINGS ELIMINATES THE
ABILITY OF A PACE ADMINISTRATOR
COMPANY -- TO CHARGE A
PREPAYMENT PENALTY AND IT ADDS
AN ADDITIONAL HARD COPY CONSUMER
FRIENDLY DISCLOSURE THAT MUST BE
SIGNED BY A CONSUMER PRIOR TO
AGREEING TO FINANCING -- AS YOU
ALREADY KNOW PACE IS A UNIQUE
FORM OF FINANCING SANCTIONED BY
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THAT ALLOWS
PROPERTY OWNERS TO FINANCE WATER
AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY.
AND NOW HOME HARDENING EFFORTS --
WITH A FEW NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS
FINANCINGS MINISTERED -- BY FOR
PROFIT PRIVATE ENTERPRISE OVER
THE LAST FEW YEARS DUE TO
NUMEROUS CONCERNS WITH THE
INDUSTRY'S MARKETING AND
DISCLOSURE PRACTICES.
PAGE WAS BROUGHT TO THE
LEGISLATURE'S ATTENTION CA ARE
HAS CO SPONSORED OR SUPPORTED.
NUMEROUS PIECES OF LEGISLATION
THAT WILL HAVE THE EFFECT OF
BRINGING THE INDUSTRY UNDER
REGULATORY CONTROL OF THE TV --
AND HAS BROUGHT MANY CONSUMER
PROTECTION PROTECTIONS TO THE
INDUSTRY INCLUDING AN ABILITY TO
PAY ANALYSIS WHICH DID NOT
PREVIOUSLY EXIST.
HOWEVER AN INHERENT CONFLICT OF
INTEREST STILL EXISTS WITHIN THE
PACE PROGRAM STRUCTURE BECAUSE
PASTE ADMINISTRATOR COMPANIES
RELY ON CONTRACTORS WHO WILL BE
INSTALLING THE PRODUCTS. TO SIGN
CUSTOMERS UP FOR THE FINANCING.
THE FINANCING IS REPAID THROUGH
A LINE ITEM ON THE PROPERTY TAX
BILL INCREASE SUPER PRIORITY
LEAVE ON THE IMPROVE PROPERTY.
DESPITE THE FACT THAT THESE
PRODUCTS RESULT IN A SECURED
DEBT AND THAT'S HAVE VERY LITTLE
RISK TO THE LENDER THE INTEREST
RATES ARE HIGH AT SIX AND A HALF
TO EIGHT AND A HALF PERCENT.
ADDITIONALLY SOME ADMINISTRATOR
COMPANIES CHARGE FEES AND
PREPAYMENT PENALTIES WHEN A
HOMEOWNER DECIDES TO PAY OFF
THEIR PACE LEAN.
BECAUSE FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE
MAC WILL NOT PURCHASE A MORTGAGE
THAT HAS A HIGHER LEAN PRIORITY
THEN THERE'S PAYS ASSESSMENTS
MUST BE PAID OFF PRIOR TO THE
SALE OR REFINANCE OF THE
PROPERTY.
AND ADDITIONAL PREPAYMENT
PENALTY ONLY SERVE TO A ROAD
HARDER INEQUITY IN THE PROPERTY
AND WE BELIEVE IT'S POOR PUBLIC
POLICY TO ADD EXTRA FEES AND
PENALTIES TO A GOVERNMENT
ENDORSED FINANCING PROGRAM.
MEANT TO SERVE THE PURPOSE OF
PROMOTING ENERGY EFFICIENCY.
THE BILL ALSO CREATES A CONSUMER
FRIENDLY EASY TO READ DISCLOSURE
THAT STATES IN AND RESTATES
ESSENTIAL TERMS AN IMPORTANT
CONSIDERATIONS.
ALL CAPS IS USE THAT TIME IN THE
DISCLOSURE THING A VERY
IMPORTANT TERMS.
BECAUSE HOMEOWNERS HAVE A RIGHT
TO BE FULLY INFORMED OF ALL THE
RELEVANT FACTS OF THIS FINANCING
ESPECIALLY SINCE THEIR INCOME
BRING.
THEIR VERY MOST IMPORTANT ASSET
THEIR HOME -- WE HAVE REACHED
OUT TO THE INDUSTRY GROUPS AND
ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM ON
THE TERMINOLOGY IN THE
DISCLOSURE HOWEVER WE DO SEE
THIS DISCLOSURE AS AN ESSENTIAL
PART OF THE BILL -- FOR THESE
REASONS WE ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE
ON THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ARE THERE
OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
CNN ARE THERE ANY WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS MY NAME IS CHRIS ROGERS
UP WITH WHITE GREEN ENERGY FUND
WHY GREEN IS THE LARGEST PACE
PROVIDER IN THE NATION -- BASED
OUT OF BEAUTIFUL CINEMA COUNTY.
WE AS YOU HEARD -- HAVE A BILL
IN FRONT OF US THAT HAS
FUNDAMENTALLY TO DIFFERENT PARTS
THE FIRST PART IS THE PREPAYMENT
PENALTY IN THE DISCLOSURE IN OUR
CONFIRM TERMS PHONE CALL.
OF THAT PREPAYMENT PENALTY OUT
WIDE GREEN ENERGY FUND HAS
MATURED AND HAS ACTUALLY
ELIMINATED OUR PREPAYMENT
PENALTY AND THAT'S BECOME THE
INDUSTRY STANDARD WE HAVE NO
PROBLEM WITH THAT PORTION OF THE
BILL.
THE SECOND ASPECT OF THE BILL IS
THE DID THE DISCLOSURE FORM THAT
IS PROVIDED TO THE HOMEOWNER IN
THE BEGINNING -- AS YOU WILL SEE
FROM THE THE CHART THAT I PASSED
OUT YOUR STAFF ALSO HAVE
RECEIVED THIS CHART WE'RE HAPPY
TO MAKE IT AVAILABLE.
NOT ONLY IS THE DISCLOSURE FORM
REDUNDANT WITH THE EXISTING
DISCLOSURE FORM IT WOULD BE
REDUNDANT WITH THE PROPOSED
SECONDARY DISCLOSURE FORM THAT
IS BEING PROPOSED BY THE CSL
BEYOND SOLAR PROJECTS.
IT IS ADDITIONALLY REDUNDANT
WITH OUR CONFIRM TERMS PHONE
CALL -- IF YOU WILL PERMIT ME
FOR A MOMENT IF YOU WERE TO USE
A PACE ASSESSMENT TODAY NOT ONLY
DO YOU NOW HAVE THANKS TO THIS
COMMITTEE AND THE GREAT WORK
THAT YOU'VE DONE OVER THE LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS.
THE DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS
pREGULATING THE ADVERTISING THE
CONTRACTOR TRAINING DISPUTES AND
AS WELL AS THE CONSUMER
PROTECTIONS.
BUT IF YOU WERE TO HAVE A
HOMEOWNER I HAVE A CONTRACTOR
PROPOSE -- CHANGES HERE HOME FOR
ENERGY PURPOSES.
THEY WOULD THEN HAND OFF NOT
FROM THE CONTRACTOR BUT TO A
PACE ADMINISTRATOR WHERE IT'S
SIX BAILABLE A TO A PACE
COMPANIES TO TALK WITH SOMEBODY
ABOUT THE FINANCING.
YOU WOULD GET A DISCLOSURE FORM
THAT CONTAINS EVERY SINGLE
ASPECT OF THIS SECONDARY
DISCLOSURE FORM AS YOU CAN SEE
IN STATUTE ALREADY -- YOU WOULD --
AT THAT POINT BE ABLE TO GET A
COPY OF THE CONTRACT THAT'S
BEING PROPOSED.
YOU WOULD THEN HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO DO NOT SIGN IT
THERE TAKE IT ACT TALK WITH
OTHER FOLKS ABOUT IT COME BACK.
WHEN YOU DECIDED THAT IT WAS
RIGHT FOR YOU TO UTILIZE PACE
FINANCING TO MAKE CHANGES TO
YOUR HOME YOU COULD SIGNED THAT
CONTRACT?
AS SOON AS YOU SIGNED THAT
CONTRACT TO COME SO PACE
ADMINISTRATOR WHO VERIFIES NOT
ONLY THAT THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE
WITHIN THE SCOPE OF OF THE PACE
INDUSTRY.
THAT IT IS NOT OVER PRICING FOR
WHAT WE TYPICALLY SEE FOR THOSE
EIGHT MAKE SURE THAT YOU SPEAK
THE ACTUAL LANGUAGE -- THAT THE
CONTRACT IS IN -- SO THAT YOU
UNDERSTAND THE TERMS IT MAKE
SURE THAT YOU HAVE THE ABILITY
TO PAY IT ACTUALLY LOOKS AT THAT
THE PAGE PROVIDER LOOKS AT YOUR
DEBTS VERSES IN YOUR OBLIGATIONS
VERSUS YOUR INCOME.
IT LOOKS AT WHETHER YOU HAVE
ANOTHER PACE ASSESSMENT THAT
LOOKS AT THE HISTORY OF YOUR
PROPERTY.
I IT.
GOES THROUGH AND IT MAKE SURE
THAT YOU DON'T HAVE --
DELINQUENT -- TAXES IT MAKE SURE
THAT YOU HAVE PROPER
UNDERWRITING CRITERIA.
ONCE ALL OF THAT IS DETERMINED
WE DO A CONFIRM TERMS PHONE CALL.
WHERE WE STILL CALL YOU BACK WE
WALKED BACK THROUGH WITH YOU
THOSE SAME DISCLOSURES MAKING
SURE YOU KNOW YOUR OBLIGATION
MONTHLY?
MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THAT YOU
STAFF AN IMPOUND ACCOUNT.
IT MAKE SURE AGAIN THAT YOU
SPEAK THE LANGUAGE THAT THE
CONTRACT IS IN -- SO THAT WE
KNOW FOR SURE THAT YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT WE ASK AT THE
END OF THE PHONE CALL DO YOU
UNDERSTAND THE OBLIGATION THAT
YOU'RE TAKING ON BECAUSE WE DO
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT CONSUMERS
ARE PROTECTED.
IF YOU SAY YES YOU THEN HAVE
THREE MORE DAYS OF THREE DAY
RIGHT TO CANCEL FOR YOU CAN
CANCEL WITH NO PENALTY.
THAT'S NOT WHERE CONSUMER
PROTECTIONS AND IN THE PACE
INDUSTRY IF THE CONTRACTOR THEN
WOULD DO THE WORK ON THE HOME.
IF THERE IS AN ISSUE IF THERE IS
A WORKMANSHIP ISSU OR IF THE
WORK IS NOT ACTUALLY BEEN DONE
WE DON'T PAY THE CONTRACTOR
UNTIL YOU IS THE HOMEOWNER SIGN
OFF. TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WORK
IS DONE ADEQUATELY -- THERE ARE
OTHER EXISTING -- PROTECTIONS
THAT ARE IN LAW SUCH AS TRAINING
REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTRACTORS
THERE'S A WHOLE PROCESS TO KICK
OUT NEGATIVE -- CONTRACTORS FROM
THE PROGRAM NOT JUST FROM ONE
PROVIDER BUT ACROSS THE INDUSTRY
THE D. B. L. HAS OPPORTUNITY TO
DO THAT SO JUST THE CSL BE --
AND I APOLOGIZE THIS IS GOING ON
SO LONG IT TAKES EVEN LONGER TO
DO ALL THESE CONSUMER
PROTECTIONS THAN TO LIST THEM --
IT SO I WILL POTS THEY'RE HAPPY
TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS I
SAID WHY GREEN AS OPPOSED TO
LESS AMENDED.
IF THE REDUNDANT FORM WAS
REMOVED FROM THE PROCESS WE
DON'T BELIEVE THAT ADDS ANY
VALUE IT DOESN'T ADD FOR
CONSUMERS UNDERSTANDING THAT WE
WOULD BE HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE
PREPAYMENT.
PAYMENT -- BàN WITHIN THE BILL --
BUT AS IT EXISTS WE ASK FOR A NO
VOTE UNLESS AMENDED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ARE THERE
ANY OF WITNESSES OPPOSITION.
SEEING NONE OTHER QUESTIONS OF
THE COMMITTEE YES.
I HAVE A QUESTION -- IF THE
PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR IS
REQUIRED TO ALSO HAVE.
OR PROVIDE THESE DISCLOSURES --
IN MULTIPLE LANGUAGES SUCH AS
SPANISH.
IF THAT'S PART OF YOU THAT THAT
YES IT IS -- IT IS THE IN RECALL
IT'S IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL
AND STATE LAW.
OKAY THANK YOU AND AND AGAIN IF --
THE CONTRACT WAS IN ENGLISH AND
THAT ARE CONFIRMED TERMS PHONE
CALL.
REACHES THE HOMEOWNER IN THEIR
SPEAKING SPANISH AS THEIR
PRIMARY LANGUAGE WE WOULD FLAG
THAT MAKE SURE THAT THEY GOT AN
ACTUAL COPY IN SPANISH OF THE
CONTRACT AND WALKING THROUGH IT
TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
UNDERSTAND.
OKAY THANK YOU.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
READY -- I NEED AN ENTERTAINING
MOTION REMOTE SHOULD GET.
SO THE FACT.
WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
I'M WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE.
MADAM CHAIR THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME AND ATTENTION AND I WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT WITH PLEASURE THAT WHY

OF THE BILL RELATING TO

BILL FIRST FOR ME TO START BY
THANKING THE COMMITTEE STAFF IN
THE CHAIR FOR THEIR WORK ON THE
BILL AND HAPPY TO ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS -- ALSO
I'M COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING
CONCERNS REGARDING LOCAL ZONING
DESIGNATION SO WILL BE MEETING
WITH VARIOUS INTEREST GROUPS TO
TRY TO FIND A WORKABLE.
SOLUTION THIS IS A FOLLOW UP I
JUST THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO MY
LEGISLATION IN TWENTY FOURTEEN
THAT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW.
THAT -- GAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPERS THE FIRST RIGHT OF
REFUSAL ON SURPLUS PUBLIC LANDS.
UNFORTUNATELY WHAT WE SAW IS
ONCE THAT LAW WENT INTO EFFECT --
SO JURISDICTIONS TRY TO
CIRCUMVENT IT I JUST TO SPECIFIC
EXAMPLES CALTRAIN -- IN IN THE
BAY AREA DID NOT OFFER A SITE --
BY ITS HE WORE PARK STATION TO
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS
AND STAND WORK EXCLUSIVELY WITH
A MARKET RATE DEVELOPER -- THE
CITY BURLINGAME THE CREDIT
HEALTH DISTRICT ON THE SIDE OF A
PLUMBER PUBLIC HOSPITAL WITH A
PROPOSED TO BUILD A SENIOR
INDEPENDENT LIVING CENTER WITH
NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
SO AGAIN WE WE ALL KNOW ABOUT
THE HOUSING CRISIS THAT WE HAVE --
MANY OF OUR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
HAVE SURPLUS PUBLIC LAND WE JUST
WANT TO MAKE SURE.
THAT HOUSE THEY DISPOSE OF THAT
THAT THEIR PRIORITIES REALLY ARE
LINED WITH OUR PRIORITIES WHICH
HAVE TO BE AROUND AFFORDABLE
HOUSING.
SO AGAIN WE HAVE TO CLARIFY
POSITION BY PROVISIONS I WOULD
CREATE WE'RE ASKING THE QUESTION
TO STATEWIDE DATABASE AS WELL AS
BUILDING ON THE COVERAGE
EXECUTIVE ORDER FOR STATE
INVOLVEMENT AND ALSO LEVERAGING.
HOUSING ELEMENT LOT MOST USE AND
EFFICIENCY OF THE SURPLUS LAND
ACT WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK
YOUR IPHONE THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON GOOD AFTERNOON
GOOD AFTERNOON CHEROKEE ARE
CURRY MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
MY NAME IS PATRICK ALTHOUGH AND
I'M WITH THE NONPROFIT HOUSING
ASSOCIATION OF NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA.
WE ARE FORTY YEAR OLD THE FOR
THE HOUSING ADVOCACY
ORGANIZATION -- WITH SEVEN
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEMBERS
REPRESENTING BUSINESSES LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS.
PLANNERS AND JUST REGULAR PEOPLE
WHO BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE SHOULD
HAVE AN AFFORDABLE PLACE TO CALL
HOME -- AND WE THINK THAT AB
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SIX WILL HELP US
GET THERE ESPECIALLY IN THE BAY
AREA.
NO ONE CAN DENY THAT OUR THAT
OUR STATE IS FACING AN
AFFORDABLE HOUSING EMERGENCY.
WE HAVE THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF
HOMELESS PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY
AND WE RANK BILL HIGHEST IN
TERMS OF POVERTY RATE WHEN
HOUSING COSTS ARE TAKEN INTO
ACCOUNT -- BUILDING MORE
AFFORDABLE HOMES FOR SENIORS
VETERANS PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES IS A MORAL
IMPERATIVE AND PUBLICLY OWNED
LAND PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN
MAKING THAT HAPPEN.
SO.
AB FOURTEEN EIGHTY SIX ASSEMBLY
MEMBER CHIANG SIDE CLARIFIES AND
STRENGTHENS THE CAROL CALIFORNIA
SURPLUS LAND ACT THE LAW THAT
HAS BEEN ON THE BOOKS FOR FIFTY
YEARS.
BUT THAT HAS SUFFERED FROM
SPOTTING ENFORCEMENTS -- THE
PURPOSE OF THE SURPLUS LAND ACT
IS TO ENSURE THAT PUBLIC LAND IS
USED FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.
WHEN IT IS NO LONGER NEEDED FOR
GOVERNMENTAL PURPOSES -- BY
PUBLIC AGENCIES THAT ARE
DISPOSING OF THAT PLAN TO
PRIORITIZE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT AND OPEN SPACE ON
THAT PLAN.
UNDER CURRENT LAW -- WHILE LOCAL
AGENCIES HAVE BEEN REQUIRED TO
DO THIS LIKE I SAID FOR FIFTY
YEARS THERE HAS BEEN -- SPOTTING
ENFORCEMENT AND THE AND THIS
BILL FOURTEEN EIGHTY SIX
ADDRESSES MANY OF THE ISSUES
WITH GETTING THE LAW AND FORCED.
SUCH AS FOURTEEN EIGHTY SIX WILL
CREATE A STATEWIDE DATABASE OF
PUBLICLY OWNED SITES AND HOW
THEY ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED.
THIS IS TO PROVIDE CLARITY ON
WHAT LAND EVEN EXISTS -- IF YOU
ASK MANY LOCAL AGENCIES THEY DO
NOT FULLY KNOW WHAT THEY OWN --
IT WILL CREATE A PROCESS FOR
STATE PLANS THAT MIRRORS THE
PROCESS FOR LOCAL AGENCIES AND
DISPOSING OF THEIR LANDS TO
PRIORITIZE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
BECAUSE CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW.
STATE LANDS AND LOCAL AGENCY ON
LANDS ARE FOLLOW DIFFERENT
TRACKS AND SO IT CREATES AS ST
THE SAME PROCESS PURPLE.
IT CLARIFIES THAT PUBLICLY OWNED
LAND IS NOT SURPLUS IF IT IS
SERVING ANY GOVERNMENTAL PURPOSE --
AND SO THIS THIS PROVIDES
CRITICAL CLARITY THAT IF YOU
BOUGHT THE LAND FOR A PARKER IF
YOU BOUGHT THE LAND FOR SCHOOL
AND YOU'RE USING THE LAND FOR
PARKER SCHOOL.
AND HAD MAKING I'M A MOTION TO
DO SO THAT LAND IS NOT SURPLUS
IT IS BEING USED FOR
GOVERNMENTAL PURPOSE.
AND IT ALSO HAS SOME CRITICAL
EXEMPTIONS -- THERE'S OVER
SEVENTEEN OF THEM HOME SO I'M
NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH ALL OF
THEM BUT CRITICAL EXEMPTIONS TO
ENSURE THAT LEGITIMATE
GOVERNMENTAL PURPOSE IF THE LAND
IS BEING USED FOR LEGITIMATE
GOVERNMENTAL PURPOSES THAT THOSE
ARE EXEMPTED OUT OF THE SURPLUS
LAND ACT.
AND SO THIRTIES ANOTHER
TECHNICAL CHANGES AB FOURTEEN
EIGHTY SIX WILL HELP ENSURE THAT
THOUSANDS OF ACRES IN CALIFORNIA
THAT ARE MOMENT MAINLY BEING
USED AS PARKING LOT OR SITTING
EMPTY CAN BE USED TO HOUSE.
ARE LOW INCOME CALIFORNIANS WHO
CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO LIVE
HERE.
AND SO -- BY PASSING THIS BILL
WE ARE GOING TO HELP TO BRING TO
LIFE A PROMISE THAT THE STATE
MADE OVER FIFTY YEARS AGO.
THAT PUBLIC LANDS OUGHT TO
BENEFIT THE PUBLIC GOOD SO WITH
THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
IPHONE.
THANK YOU.
WELCOME CHAIR IDEACURRY --
HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE -- MY NAME IS A FRIEND
GOT EAGLE HERE WITH BURBANK
HOUSING AND AFFORDABLE NONPROFIT --
FORCIBLE HOUSING DEVELOPER -- WE
HAVE LED THE NORTH BAY I
COMMUNITIES -- IN MAINTAINING
QUALITY SUSTAINABLE FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES
FOR MORE THAN TEN THOUSAND
PEOPLE.
DEVELOP A LAND IS ONE OF THE
LARGEST OBSTACLES AND
SIGNIFICANT HURDLES.
IN BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AND OFTEN TIMES IT'S NONPROFIT
DEVELOPERS THAT ARE LEFT WITH
THE PARCELS THAT ARE MOST
DIFFICULT TO BUILD.
OFTENTIMES PASSED BY MARKET RATE
DEVELOPERS.
BUY MORE OFFICIALLY TRANSFORMING
HOW PUBLIC LANDS INTO PUBLIC
COULD NOT PROFIT HOUSING
DEVELOPERS LIKE US CAN DO MORE --
WE DO BELIEVE THAT BY CLARIFYING
AND STRENGTHENING THE KEY
PROVISIONS OF THE SURPLUS LAND
ACT.
WOULD BE ABLE TO CREATE MORE
AFFORDABLE HOW HOMES IN OUR
COMMUNITY.
THE ISSUE IS ONLY BECOME GREATER --
IN THE NORTH BAY -- THE RECENT
LOSS OF THOUSANDS OF HOMES --
WITH THE WILD FIRES OVER LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS -- AND WITH
FIFTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE
CURRENTLY ON A WAIT LIST -- WE
MUST LOOK AT ALL AVAILABLE TOOLS
AND PUBLIC LANDS CAN AND DO PLAY
A VITAL ROLE IN REBUILT AND ARE
REBUILDING EFFORTS.
AS A FORMER SUPERVISOR IN THE
COUNTY OF CINEMA I HAD THE
PRIVILEGE OF WORKING ON THE
COUNTIES HOUSING FOR ALL
PRIORITIES.
FOCUSING ON THE RE USE OF SELECT
COUNTY OWNED PROPERTIES FOR
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT THAT COULD
BRING UP TO THIRTEEN HUNDRED
UNITS INTO THECOMING YEARS --
THERE IS GREAT ALIGNMENT WITH
WHAT THE COUNTY IN CITIES AND
CINEMA COUNTY ARE DOING -- IN
COLLABORATION WITH CITIES WERE
ALSO ESTIMATING THE DEVELOPING
OF TWO THOUSAND ADDITIONAL UNITS
INVOLVING PUBLICLY OWNED PARCELS
THERE SANTA ROSA JUNIOR COLLEGE
AS WELL AS A SCHOOL DISTRICTS
ARE HAVING THE SAME CONVERSATION.
I LIKE THAT MY REMARKS WITH THE
DEVELOPMENT THAT OCCURRED TWENTY
EIGHT YEARS AGO THE CITY OF
SANTA ROSA OWNED A VACANT UNUSED
PARCEL.
THAT WAS DâN DONATED TO HABITAT
FOR HUMANITY.
THAT HABITAT WAS ABLE -- TO FOR
BUILD ITS FIRST HOME -- THROUGH
THIS PARTNERSHIP AND EVEN THOUGH
I WAS TEN YEARS OLD WHEN THIS IT
TOOK PLACE -- I KNOW IT SO WELL
BECAUSE IT WAS MY FAMILY THAT
ACTUALLY HAD THE CHANCE TO LIVE
IN THAT HOME -- FOR MY IMMIGRANT
PARENTS WHO ONLY RECEIVED A
GRADE SCHOOL EDUCATION FOR
MEDICAL THIS WAS A PIVOTAL POINT
AND GAME CHANGER AND CERTAINLY
ONE FOR ME.
TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING DOES
CHANGE LIVES -- AND WE DO
APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK BEFORE YOU TODAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ARE THERE

GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR AND MEMBERS
ROUNDER ROSTER CALIFORNIA
SPECIAL DISTRICTS ASSOCIATION WE
ARE RESPECTFULLY POST MUST
AMENDED TO THE MEASURE.
OUR PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE
APPLICATION OF THE SURPLUS LAND
ACT TO LEASES -- THIS IS
PROBLEMATIC FOR PUBLICATION SEES
THAT DO HAVE VALID REASONS TO
LEASE OR OTHERWISE PROTECT THE
LAND THAT THEY OWN FOR INSTANCE
MANY OF OUR HEALTH CARE
DISTRICTS.
THE STOP THEIR FACILITIES TO
MEDICAL PROVIDERS FOR REDUCED
RATE THIS PROVIDES A PUBLIC
BENEFIT AS WELL AS HELP SUPPORT
THEIR MISSION.
SECONDLY.
OF OUR CEMETERY DISTRICTS LEASE
UP THEIR LAND TO FARMERS PRIOR
PRIOR TO USING THE LAND FOR
FUTURE.
FUTURE BURIALS THIS IS A LOW
IMPACT WAY OF USING THE LAND IT
RESULTS IN NOT HAVING TO TEAR
OUT HOUSING OR AFFECT PEOPLE
ONCE THE LAND COMES BACK TO THE
DISTRICT
AB FOR FUTURE BURIALS.
WE WOULD LIKE TO COMMEND THE
COMEDIAN AUTHOR FOR TODAY'S
AMENDMENTS WHICH REMOVE LEASES
FROM THE SCOPE THE BILL IN THE
SURPLUS LAND ACT.
I WE DO STILL HAVE CERTAIN
OUTSTANDING ISSUES ON THE BILL --
FIRSTLY WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE
BILL HAVE A PROCESS THAT ALLOWS
AGENCIES.
DISCRETION TO DETERMINE WHAT
LANDIS ACTUALLY SURPLUS TO THE
MISSION AND PURPOSE.
AND SECONDLY AGENCIES DO YOU
HAVE A NEED FOR INFORMAL AND
FORMAL NEGOTIATIONS -- MEETING
WITH DEVELOPERS ME WITH REAL
ESTATE AGENTS THIS HELPS THEM
ASSESS THE MARKET VALUE OF THEIR
LAND AND MAKE GOOD DECISIONS ON
BEHALF OF THE PUBLIC.
SO WITH THAT WOULD JUST LIKE TO
THANK THE AUTHOR COMMITTEE FOR
WORKING WITH US ON THE BILL SO
FAR.
AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUING THIS DISCUSSIONS WITH
THE AUTHOR IN THE FUTURE
[inaudible]
THANK YOU.
I HAS THEIR BRIDGE ON BEHALF OF
THE ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA
HEALTHCARE DISTRICTS ARE WE WERE
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDMENT AMENDED
TO THE ORIGINAL BILL AND HAVE
NOT YET HAD.
THE TIME TO LOOK OVER THE
AMENDMENTS BUT WE DO THINK THE
AUTHOR AND THE COMMITTEE FOR
WORKING WITH US OUR OUR PRIMARY
CONCERN.
IS ALIGNED WITH THE CALIFORNIA
SPECIAL DISTRICTS ASSOCIATION IN
TERMS OF OUR HOSPITAL LEASES --
WE WANT THE ABILITY TO USE OUR
HOSTAGE TO LEASE LAND FOR
HEALTHCARE PURPOSES WHEN IT
MAKES SENSE -- BUT WE LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE
AUTHOR AND THE COMMITTEE -- AND
READING OVER THE AMENDMENTS AND
OUT WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU ARE THERE'S OTHERS IN

THINK IN TERMS OF MARKET VALUE

OTHER WAYS TO DETERMINE MARKET
VALUE -- FOR EXAMPLE A MARKET
APPRAISALS TOLLEY A REASONABLE
WAY TO DO THAT -- IN TERMS OF
DISCRETION THAT THE CHALLENGES
WITH DISCRETION AS WE'VE SEEN
THE PAST AS IF YOU GIVE THE
DISTRICTS THE DISCRETION
UNFORTUNATELY.
THEY'LL BASICALLY SAY NOTHING A
SURPLUS I THINK THAT'S THAT'S
ONE OF OUR CHALLENGES -- SO
AGAIN.
HAPPY TO CONTINUE THE DIALOGUE
WE HOPE THAT WE CAN OBVIOUSLY IF
WE CAN REACH AGREEMENT LEAST
ISSUE.
HOPING THAT WE CAN FIND
AGREEMENT ON SOME OF THE OTHER
ISSUES MOVING FORWARD BUT
RESPECT FAST FIVE I THOUGHT.

ARE ENTIRELY LET THE LOCAL
CONTROL.
AND SO THE GOAL IS TO HELP
CREATE UNEXPECTED OPPORTUNITIES
FOR SMART PROJECTS. TO HELP MEET
OUR HOUSING NEEDS -- AND
ACCORDING TO THE BILL -- OUR
CITIES AND COUNTIES WOULD REPORT --
THE INFORMATION TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES
WHICH WOULD CREATE -- A DATABASE --
I AND I HAD BEEN WORKING WITH --
ASSEMBLY MEMBER TEEING AND I'LL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM ARE
BILLS ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT --
AND SO CERTAINLY -- LOOK FOR TO
MAKE SURE THAT -- YOU KNOW.
WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN. TO TWO
OUT WORK ON THIS ISSUE AND THEN --
I DO HAVE A WITNESS HERE WHO --
IS HERE IN SUPPORT SO.
THANK YOU.
WELCOME.
BUT I'M CHAIR MEMBERS JENNIFER
SPECK ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATIONOF
REALTORS WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF
THE BILL.
BUT WE BELIEVE THAT THE THE
EFFORTS BY THIS ON WOMEN WILL
HELP -- TO STREAMLINED THE
EFFORTS BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE
IN HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER BY
IDENTIFYING LOCAL SITES
AVAILABLE FOR A HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT.
I'M IT MAY ALSO RESULT AS WE
CREATE AND POPULATE THE TGS
DATABASE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
EXCHANGE LAND BETWEEN LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AND THE STATE
GOVERNMENT IF ANOTHER SITE IS
NECESSARY.
IT'LL FACILITATE THAT
COMMUNICATION IF WE KNOW WHAT
EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AYE VOTE
HAPPENING ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ARE THERE
ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS ARE
LAURIE JOHNSON ON BEHALF OF THE
CITY OF SALINAS AND SUPPORT
[inaudible]
GOOD MOVE.
ARE THERE ANY -- WITNESSES
OPPOSITION.
SEEING NONE ARE THERE ANY
QUESTIONS OF THE COMMITTEE.
YES -- COULD YOU MOST CITIES A
HAVE TO ALREADY REPORT THE SITES
OF THEIR IDENTIFYING FOR HIGH
DENSITY DEVELOPMENT IN THEIR
HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATES.
SO WHAT IS THE INTENTION OF
DOING ADDITIONAL REPORTING THAT
CAUSES A MINISTRY OF COSTS FOR
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS IF THEY'RE
ALREADY BEING IDENTIFIED IN THE
HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATES.
SO THE REASON WE HAVE THIS BILLS
BECAUSE THESE PROBABLY AREN'T BE
IDENTIFIED IN -- CERTAINLY THIS
IS SOMETHING THAT LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ALREADY DO AND SO
THE WHAT SO WHAT THIS BILL IS
ALL ABOUT IS ABOUT UNEXPECTED
OPPORTUNITIES AND SO REALLY
MAKING SURE THAT WE FOLLOW IN
THE GOVERNOR'S -- YOU KNOW
EXECUTIVE ORDER TO IDENTIFY
SURPLUS STATE PROPERTIES -- THIS
WILL TAKE A STEP FURTHER TO MAKE
SURE THAT OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
ALSO HAVE THESE OPPORTUNITIES --
AND THAT WOULD ADDRESS A
SIGNIFICANT NEED YOU KNOW
ALTERNATELY IT'S ABOUT
ESTABLISHING UNEXPECTED
PARTNERSHIPS -- AND MAKING SURE
THAT WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING WE
CAN TO MEET OUR HOUSING GOALS
BASED ON OUR IN OUR ARENA
NUMBERS -- AND SO THIS IS JUST
ANOTHER TOOL IT'S ANOTHER TOLD
TO MAKE SURE THAT -- WE'RE
ATTACKING -- AND YOU KNOW THIS A
HOUSING CRISIS AND DO EVERYTHING
WE CAN FROM YOU KNOW A STATE
STANDPOINT AND WHAT I REALLY
LIKE ABOUT THIS.
IS WE ARE MAINTAINING LOCAL
CONTROL THE ALTERNATELY THESE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE GOING TO
DO WHEN THEY'RE GONNA MAKE THE
DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR LAND USE
PATTERNS AND AND YOU KNOW WHAT
CAN YOU HAVE IF THAT THEY
IDENTIFY THESE INFILL
OPPORTUNITIES.
IT'S ENTIRELY UP -- TO YOU KNOW
THEIR DISCRETION.
SOMEONE IF I MIGHT.
THIS BILL WORK FANTASTIC -- THE
SOMEONE NUMBER TINGS BILL WHICH
IS GONNA BECAUSE DH CD TO
ACTUALLY DO THE COMPILATION
RIGHT NOW THE INFORMATION AS
REPORTED BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS --
TO DHC DEEP BUT THERE'S NOTHING
DONE WITH IT AFTER THAT AND THE
GOAL AT THIS POINT IS TO CREATE
THAT ONLINE USABLE REPOSITORY --
SO IT'LL BE A PARTNERSHIP IN THE
IN BETWEEN AS WOMEN REVERSES
BILL AND IS A MEMBER KINGS BILL
TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
INFORMATION IS GIVEN THE TGS.
AND THEN PROVIDED THE PUBLIC IN
A FORMAT THAT'S EASILY
SEARCHABLE.
OKAY I UNDERSTAND I THINK --
COMING FROM AN AREA WHERE
HOUSING IS DIFFICULT AND FINDING
A VERY BUILT OUT AND FINDING
MORE PROPERTIES IS EVEN MORE TO
WELL I THINK THERE'S AN
ADMINISTRATIVE HURDLE.
THAT THE CITIES OF MY DISTRICT
WOULD FACE AT THIS TIME I WILL
NOT BE VOTING ON THE BILL BUT
I'M HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU.
AND SEE IF THERE'S A PLACE WHERE
WE CAN GET TO WHERE WHERE IT
WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN I
COULD VOTE ON THE FLOOR THANK

ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
OKAY.
WHAT THIS IS IN OPPOSITION
?
GOOD AFTERNOON COMMITTEE MEMBERS --
SURE AGUIAR-CURRY AND INVOICE
AND VICE CHAIR.
MY NAME'S GOING FROM I AM --
REPRESENTING THE SOLANO COUNTY
ORDERLY GROWTH COMMITTEE TODAY.
WE ARE OPPOSED AB FIVE THIRTY
UNLESS AMENDED WE'VE HAD --
CONVERSATIONS WITH WITH THE IT
STAFF WITH -- THE CHAIR AT WITH
SIR DISTRICT AND WITH LOCAL
PLAYERS AND SOLANO COUNTY.
THE SLAUGHTER COUNTY EARLY
GROWTH COMMITTEE IS BEEN VERY
SUCCESSFUL OVER MANY DECADES IN
TERMS OF KEEPING SOLANO COUNTY'S
FARMERS OPEN SPACES WELL
PROTECTED -- THOSE OF YOU WHO
LIVE OR VISIT THE BAY AREA FROM
SACRAMENTO WHEN YOU DRIVE
THROUGH SOLANO COUNTY.
IN FROM DIXON THE VALLEJO IT'S
PRETTY OBVIOUS THAT THERE'S A
SIGNIFICANT -- PORTIONS OF OUR
COUNTY THE REMAIN GREEN
UNDEVELOPED IN VERY PRODUCTIVE
FARMLAND FOR MANY DECADES.
AND THIS ABOUT A PROCESS THAT
HAS NOT BEEN EASY IT'S INVOLVED --
POLICIES POLITICS -- MANY
ELECTIONS INITIATIVES AND
OCCASIONALLY LAWSUIT WHAT WE SEE
TODAY WITH THE LEGISLATION
THAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU.
IS THE SUBTLE LANGUAGE SHOULD
SETTLING WHICH THAT WOULD OPEN
UP A RURAL SOLANO COUNTY TO THE
POSSIBILITY.
OF UNWISE -- SPRAWL TYPE
DEVELOPMENTS IN ON CURRENTLY
WITH ME WELL PROTECTED FARMLANDS
IN SOME CASES WHAT WE'VE SEEN
WITH PROJECTS IN THE COUNTY.
IS THEY'VE BEEN STOPPED OR
STALLED BECAUSE THE INABILITY TO
DO ADEQUATE SEWAGE TREATMENT WE
ALSO TIMES OF PROBLEMS WITH --
PROJECTS HAVE HAD TROUBLE
GETTING -- WATER THEY WANT
MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLIES WE HAVE
A STRONG POLICY IN SOLANO COUNTY.
OF OF WHAT IS URBAN SHALL BE
MUNICIPAL
AND WE WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE
SURE THAT THAT POLICY CONTINUES.
THE THE LANGUAGE THAT WE
RECOMMENDED IT WHICH WE HOPE YOU
WILL RECEIVE VIA LETTERS THAT
HAVE BEEN SENT IN BY THE EARLY
GROWTH COMMITTEE.
IS THAT TO AMEND THE LANGUAGE OF
THAT LANDS IN THE UNINCORPORATED
PART OF SOLANO COUNTY WOULD NOT
BE ALLOWED TO DELIVER BIO SALAS
TO THE FAIR TEXAS IN PLANTS.
WHAT TO DO WITH THE FAIRFIELD TO
SOON PLAN IN TERMS OF PROCESSING
IS EXCELLENT THE DOING OF
THEY'RE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB OF
TAKING BY ALL SOLID MATERIALS?
RUNNING IT THROUGH AN ADDITIONAL
PROCESSING STEP -- AND THEN
HAVING HIGH QUALITY FERTILIZER
THE GET SENT OUT TO THE TO THE
FARMS IN OUR REGION WE WE THINK
THAT'S JUST TERRIFIC.
THE QUESTION BECOMES WHERE THAT
MATERIAL COMES FROM.
SO WE URGE YOU TODAY TO VOTE NO
ON FIVE THIRTY UNLESS IT'S
AMENDED CAN CAN CONSISTENT WITH.
THE MEMBERS THAT WE HAVE SENT TO
YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I I
SHOULD PROBABLY ANNOUNCED THAT
WHICH WE'LL GET TO MAINE AND
WITNESSES.
EITHER SIDE AND THE REST WERE
JUST.
IF OKAY EXPRESSIONS.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS NOR
DECIDE I REPRESENT THE SECTION
OF FAIRFIELD THAT WILL BE MOST
IMPACTED BY THESE CHANGES.
THE ADDITION OR THE INCLUSION OF
COUNTY PROPERTY.
SO PROPERTIES OUTSIDE OF THE
CITIES [inaudible]
WILL.
INCLUDE INCREASE THE NUMBER OF
HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS.%
AND WE ARE READY SEVERELY
IMPACTED.
IN OUR AREA WE'VE GOT
APPROXIMATELY EIGHTEEN HUNDRED
HOMES.
OUR CITY HAS BEEN PROLIFIC IN
WORKING ON DEVELOPMENTS WHICH IS
WONDERFUL THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE
DON'T HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO
SUPPORT IT.
WE'VE GOT FOUR SCHOOLS.
IN OUR AREA.
WHERE THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY
FOUR THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED
CHILDREN THE MAIN ROAD?
THAT PROVIDES ACCESS TO THE
SCHOOLS.
IS JUST TWO LINES YOU HAVE TO
COME TO A FULL STOP BEFORE YOU
CAN ACCESS.
THE FREEWAY.
THE ROADS IN ADEQUATE TRAFFIC
FLOW IS INADEQUATE.
BUT THEN ON TOP OF THAT WE'VE
GOT A SCHOOL DISTRICT.
THAT HAS ONLY FOUR POINT FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS. TO INCREASE
CAPACITY [inaudible]
AND WE ARE ALREADY HAVING
PROBLEMS AT OUR SCHOOLS WHERE
THEY ARE.
BEING TURNED AWAY TO OTHER.
SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT.
THE SCHOOL CANNOT INCREASE ITS
CAPACITY WE'VE GOT IN OTHER
PARTS OF FAIRFIELD NEAR THE NEW
TRAIN STATION WHERE THERE BE
APPROXIMATELY TEN THOUSAND NEW
HOMES.
AND AGAIN THIS IS THE SAME
SCHOOL SYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE THE
CAPACITY TO INCREASE.
SERVICE TO ALL THESE NEW HOMES
THAT ARE BEING APPROVED
[inaudible]
NOT ALLOWING.
THE GREEN THE SKIS ME SPECIFIC
MIDDLE GREEN VALLEY. TO CONNECT
TO THE SEWER SYSTEM IS NOT GOING
TO STOP THE PROJECT.
THEY CAN GO AHEAD AND BUILD IT.
THERE ARE NO SUBJECTS.
SYSTEMS THAT WE USE THEY'LL
BUILD THEIR OWN SEWER SYSTEM AND
WHAT WE NEED.
IS TIME.
THERE IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR THEM
TO DO THAT AND WE NEED THAT TIME
BECAUSE WE ARE ALREADY IN
TROUBLE.
WE JUST CANNOT ACCOMMODATE.
THESE ADDITIONAL FOUR HUNDRED
HOMES WITH WE JUST DON'T HAPPEN
[inaudible]
THE THE THE NUMBER OF HOURS THAT.
PEOPLE SPEND BRING THEIR
CHILDREN TO SCHOOL.
I HAVE A PARENT WHO DESCRIBED IT
AS I COULD HAVE BEEN TO SAN
FRANCISCO AND BACK BUT NO I'M
STUCK IN ALL THIS TRAFFIC.
BECAUSE WE HAVE LIKE I SAY IN
ADEQUATE COULD ROADS.
AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE.
THE WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE
CAPACITY AT THE SCHOOLS HOW IS
IT THAT.
THESE FOUR HUNDRED HOMES WHICH
BY THE WAY THEY'RE NOT
AFFORDABLE HOMES THE HOMES THAT
THAT ARE APPROVED IN CITY.
THERE ARE MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE
IF YOU'RE GONNA COMPARED THEM --
THIS WILL HELP VERY AFFLUENT
PEOPLE. TO THE DETRIMENT OF
THOSE OF US WHO ARE REGULAR
RESIDENTS.
WE DON'T WANNA HAVE.
A CRISIS AND THIS IS.
JUST SETTING UP THE CRISIS IT'S
ALREADY A PROBLEM.
THIS IS A TERRIBLE CRISIS I HOPE.
OF THAT YOU WILL VOTE FOR THE
MEASURES THAT.
X. EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR MIDDLE
BRING VALLEY BEING ALLOWED TO
CONNECT.
BECAUSE THAT ALSO IS JUST.
THE START THERE ARE OTHER.
DEVELOPERS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN
DOING THE SAME THING AND AGAIN
SAME PROBLEMS.
WE DON'T HAVE THE ROADS WE DON'T
HAVE DISCO CAPACITY.
PLEASE THINK ABOUT US.
LESS WEALTHY PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO
LIVE IN OUR AREA AND A FOUR
EIGHT A DISASTER WITH OUR
SCHOOLS THANK YOU.
ANY OF THE WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
HI I'M AMY HEART AND THEN THE
SOLANO COUNTY REGIONAL
REPRESENTATIVE FOR GREEN DOT

BASED IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY
AREA AND WE WORK AT THE
INTERSECTION OF OPEN SPACE
PROTECTION AND SMART GROWTH --

POSITION OF OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED WE'RE CONCERNED THAT
THIS LEGISLATION COULD
UNINTENTIONALLY OPEN UP PRIME
AGRICULTURAL LAND TO DENSER
DEVELOPMENT -- TO THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME
IS ESTHER PRIOR AND I REPRESENT
RAFEAL HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION.
WHOSE MEMBERS RESIDE IN SIOUX
SOON VALLEY WHICH IS AN
UNINCORPORATED AREA OF SOLANO
COUNTY.
I HOPE THE COMMITTEE HAS
RECEIVED THE COMMUNICATIONS FROM
THE LOCAL RESIDENTS IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL.
I OPPOSE AB FIVE THIRTY UNLESS
AMENDED THANK YOU THANK YOU.
HI MY NAME'S LORDS HER SICK.
I'M A UNINCORPORATED RESIDENCE
SOLANO COUNTY.
AND I OPPOSE EIGHTY FIVE THIRTY
UNLESS AMENDED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THE
COMMITTED YOU.
MY NAME'S LERI WELL CHAD ELEVEN
ROB FAIL.
IN AYE OPPOSES SAID AND THE
CITIES OF AMENDED BY THE ORDERLY
GROW WHAT WHAT THE ORDERLY
GROWTH.
RECOMMENDS THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
OKAY ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE
COMMITTEE.
OKAY WE NEED A MOTION TO PASS AS
AMENDED -- TO ADD URGENCY CLAUSE
[inaudible]
OKAY.
THANK YOU -- I YOU KNOW I HEARD
THIS THE OPPOSITION I HEARD A
LOT ABOUT.
SCHOOLS AND ROADS -- BUT THIS IS
ABOUT.
SEWER SERVICE -- I HEARD ONE
SPEAKER -- EXPRESSED CONCERN
ABOUT -- THIS BILL OPENING UP
THE PRIME AG LAND TO DEVELOPMENT.
I'M.
NOT QUITE SURE HOW THAT HAPPENS
AS A RESULT OF THIS BILL CAN YOU
EXPLAIN THAT.
SO I ONE OF THE AMENDMENTS THAT
WERE ASKING -- FOR THAT NOT I'M
NOT ASKING ABOUT THEM AND I'M
ASKING HOW THE BILL AS IT'S
PROPOSED SHORE CAT -- WOULD
WOULD DO THAT SAID THE
LEGISLATION ALLOWS FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF PACKAGE SEWAGE
TREATMENT PLANTS AND WHAT WE'RE
CONCERNED ABOUT IS THAT THOSE
PACKAGE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS
COULD BE BUILT.
OUTSIDE OF EXISTING URBAN GROWTH
BOUNDARIES AND SOLANO COUNTY --
FURTHER LEADING TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENTS THAT WOULD BE
CREATING SPRAWL IN THE COUNTY SO
THAT'S IN IT IT WOULD BE ON
PRIME AG LAND SURROUNDING SOLANO
THANK YOU -- I'D LIKE BECAUSE OF
THE AUTHORS EXPERTS TO WITNESSES
TO RESPOND TO THAT IF FOR A IF
YOU LIKE.
THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION. TO
CLARIFY THE GENERAL PLAN OF THE
COUNTY IS APPROVED BY THE VOTERS
OF SOLANO COUNTY ALMOST 75% IN
THIS DISTRICT APPROVED.
NO ZONING NO AGRICULTURAL ZONING
CAN BE CHANGED WITHOUT A VOTE OF
THE PEOPLE.
AND SO WHAT MONDAY TALK ABOUT
URBAN SPRAWL THE CANNOT TAKE
PLACE UNLESS THE GENERAL PLAN IS
AMENDED OR VOTED ON BY THE
PUBLIC AND SO.
IT DOES NOT CREATE URBAN SPRAWL
THERE'S A DESIGNATED AREAS AND
COUNTY THAT CAN BE DEVELOPED
THAT'S ALL THAT CAN BE.
DEVELOPED IN THE COUNTY.
THEN THE THE OTHER -- CONCERN I
HEARD WAS THAT.
SOMEHOW -- THE SEWERS -- SEWER
SERVICE WAS GOING -- TO AND THAT
BEING BROUGHT FROM ONE AREA INTO
ANOTHER AREA AND MAYBE YOU CAN
EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE BETTER
THAN I JUST TRIED.
TO ARTICULATE A CAN YOU RESTATE
THAT AND SURE.
A FURTHER EXPLAIN SURE DOING
CRIME AGAIN SO THE THE FAIRFIELD
TO SOON SEWER DISTRICT PLANT
WHICH BY DEFINITION FEARFUL TO
SENATE WAS BUILT TO ACCOMMODATE
TO CITIES.
BUT OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS OR
THREE YEARS GREG.
THEY'VE IMPORTER THE NEW
TECHNOLOGY -- CAME OUT OF CANADA
THIS IS THE TO TRAFFIC
TECHNOLOGY THAT RUNS -- BILE
SALTS BOTH FROM THEIR PLANT AND
FROM OTHER PLANTS AROUND THE BAY
AREA THEIR TRUCKED INTO THE
FAIRFIELD TO SOON PLANT. TO
TREAT THOSE BIOSOLIDS TO IT TO A
HIGHER DEGREE OF CLEANLINESS
PURITY.
THE BECOME A HIGHER QUALITY
FERTILIZER I THINK IS PROBABLY
YOU KNOW EMINEM MUCH WITH MUCH
OF WHILE SOLDIERS WHO TREATMENT
PLANTS.
IS APPLIED LAND APPLIED ACROSS.
THE STATE PROBABLY ACROSS
COUNTRY HEARING AREAS TO USE AS
FERTILIZER.
SO THE ABILITY TO BRING IN THAT
MATERIAL RIGHT NOW IT'S PROBABLY
NOT ALLOWED UNDER THE EXISTING
SEWER DISTRICT LEGISLATION.
WERE NOT WHEN IT COMES FROM
OTHER -- OUTSIDE AREAS OUTSIDE
OF FAIRFIELD TO SOON.
WE THINK IT'S A FINE IDEA TO
BRING AND STUFF FROM.
MUNICIPAL SEWAGE TREATMENT
PLANTS THAT SERVE YOU
INCORPORATED AN URBANIZED AREAS.
IN IN THE RURAL AREAS WE'VE HAD
A COUPLE OF THE PROPOSED AND
SOLANO COUNTY -- SUPERVISORS
BERRY AND I GO BACK AND FORTH
REGULARLY ON DEVELOPMENT ISSUES.
BUT THERE'S BEEN REGULAR
PROPOSALS TO HAVE -- FANCIER
SEPARATE TYPE SYSTEMS AFTER
PUMPED OUT PACKAGE SEWAGE
TREATMENT PLANTS THAT THEN THEY
HAVE TO GET RID OF THEIR
MATERIAL THAT THEY CAN'T BRING
IT UP TO A HIGH ENOUGH QUALITY.
ON SITE TO HANDLE WITH THE
REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL
BOARD REQUIRES SO IF THEY HAVE
THE ABILITY TO DO SOMETHING OF A
LOWER QUALITY TREATMENT SYSTEM
ON SITE.
AND THEN HOLD THE MATERIALS TO
THE FAIRFIELD TO SOME PLANT.
GOOD ENVIRONMENTALLY AFTER
PROJECTS BEEN BUILT.
BUT IF THAT ENCOURAGES AND
INCENTIVIZE IS PROJECTS TO BE
BUILT IN THAT PLACES WE HAVE A
CONCERN THAT'S ALL OUR CONCERN
IS.
DON'T INCENTIVIZE THE
POTENTIALITY.
OF PUTTING SUBDIVISION
DEVELOPMENTS ON FARM LET.
AND WHAT IF I COULD GET A RISK I
MIGHT OUT TONIGHT I'M
CERTIFICATION THE BILL DOESN'T
ADD THE PROVISIONS TO PUT IN THE
SORT OF PACKAGE TREATMENT PLANTS
THAT ALREADY EXISTS THOSE CAN BE
DONE.
REGARDLESS OF THIS BILL IF THE
COUNTY APPROVED THE PROJECTS
THEY CAN BUILD THESE ON SITE
TREATMENT SYSTEMS AND THEY CAN.
TRUCK THAT TO ANY OTHER FACILITY
THIS BILL WOULD ONLY PREVENT
THEM FROM TRACKING IT TO THE IT
AS AMENDED BY.
THE ORDERLY GROWTH PEOPLE.
WOULD ONLY PROHIBIT THAT FROM
COMING TO THE FAIRFIELD TOO SOON
SEWER DISTRICT NOT TO THE PLANTS
IN BACK OF BILL OR DELAYED OR
BENICIA OR ANY OTHER PLANT
THROUGHOUT SOLANO COUNTY SO THAT.
THIS DOES NOT HELP THAT
PARTICULAR PROVISION.
OKAY -- I THANK YOU FOR THE
RESPONSE I I AM HAPPY TO SUPPORT
YOUR BILL I UNDERSTAND THERE'S
OPPOSITION TO THIS I'VE SEEN
THIS KIND OF OPPOSITION -- COME
UP ALL ACROSS THE THAT THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA -- WHEN -- FOLKS
DON'T WANT TO SEE DEVELOPMENT TO
HAPPEN I UNDERSTAND IT I GET IT --
BUT WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF A
HOUSING CRISIS.
AND TO WE SHOULD BE ENCOURAGING
RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT.
I DON'T SEE THAT THIS IS A
RESPONSIBLE SIMPLY BECAUSE
SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN -- THE
OPPOSITION SEEMS VERY
SPECULATIVE TO MAY AND TO AND
PLEASE TO SUPPORT YOUR BILL.
SUMMARY YES AND I JUST YOU KNOW
I A I CAN QUOTE THE COMMENTS YOU
KNOW I UNDERSTAND THE OPPOSITION
AND THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT YOU
KNOW THE RISK OF OF THIS YOU
KNOW.
POTENTIAL -- THE DEVICE FOR THE
BUILDINGS GOOD PLANNING I THINK
IT'S IT'S IT'S IT'S A SOMETHING
THAT'S WELL GROUNDED -- IN THE
ANALYSIS BUT YOU KNOW THE THINGS
I HEARD ABOUT ROAD ABOUT
INFRASTRUCTURE.
YOU KNOW -- HAD A YOU KNOW.
NOT BEEN IN THIS ROOM IN HER
THOSE COMMENTS I'D BE LIKE NOW
THEY TALKING ABOUT THE SALINAS
VALLEY AS MY DISTRICT.
A BECAUSE WE SUFFER -- AS WELL --
AND IT'S THESE KIND OF
CONDITIONS THAT HAVE -- THEY'VE
DEPRESSED THE HOUSING IN OUR
AREA AND REALLY.
THROUGHOUT ALL OF CALIFORNIA AND
WHAT'S THE END RESULT FOR US I
MEAN WORK COUNTY MONTEREY COUNTY
IT LEADS THE STATE IN STUDENT
HOMELESSNESS.
WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING
IN OVERCROWDED -- YOU KNOW
HOUSES THERE -- IN.
THE THESE TERRIBLE CONDITIONS --
AND SO REALLY -- YOU KNOW WE
NEED TO DO MORE TO SUPPORT OUR
FAMILIES AND OUR COMMUNITIES AND
IN PROPER PLANNING IS PART OF
THAT PROCESS SO I'M HAPPY TO
SUPPORT THE BILL.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS.
AS CHAIR SYSTEM REAL QUICK ON
THE ASPECT OF THE LAUGHED
BECAUSE IN THE AREAS THAT
INCREASING THE SPEED OF
INFLUENCE OR IS IT STILL A
PROCESS.
THE NEED TO GO THROUGH LEFT --
AND THEN UPON THE COMPLETION OF
THAT AND APPROVAL OF THAT THESE
PLANS GOING TO INTO EFFECT.
CAN BE OBVIOUSLY WE I ALWAYS
ENCOURAGE LEFT GO WHEN YOU CAN
BECAUSE IT GIVES US ANOTHER
OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE PUBLIC
OUTREACH IN THIS THAT PROCESS
WILL HAPPEN.
IN THESE INDIVIDUALS AS WELL CAN --
BE AT THOSE THAT THE TABLE THOSE
AS WELL LEFT BECAUSE IMPORTANT
PIECE OF THIS THEY IT THE
THEY'VE GONE THROUGH THIS WITH
THE GENERAL PLAN WITH US SOLANO
COUNTY.
FOR QUITE SOME TIME IS ACCEPTED

OUT REACH BUT THIS THEY'VE EVEN
