BECAUSE THE DESIGN AND
CONSTRUCTION OF DIFFERENT
ASPECTS OF THE PROJECT CAN PER.
AT DIFFERENT TIMES.

FEEL FREE GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM
CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
KIANA VALENTINE ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE ASSOCIATION OF
COUNTIES.
I AS THE SENATOR STATED THE
PURPOSE OF NINE FOURTEEN IS TO
EXPAND THE TOOLS COUNTIES HAVE
TO PLAN AND DELIVER
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS.
IN A TIMELY EFFICIENT AND COST
EFFECTIVE MANNER.
AT WHILE THE TRADITIONAL METHOD
OF DESIGN BID BUILD AYE IS AN
APPROPRIATE DELIVERY METHOD FOR
MANY TYPES OF INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECTS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
SOME COUNTIES HAVE FOUND SUCCESS
USING ALTERNATIVE DELIVERY
METHOD SUCH AS DESIGN BUILD AND
SEE MARK. NINE FOURTEEN PROVIDES
AN ADDITIONAL OPTION AND I WANT
TO EMPHASIZE THAT IT IS AN
OPTION IT TOOL IN THE TOOL KIT
TO DELIVER COMPLEX PROJECTS WITH
MULTIPLE BENEFITS.
SUCH AS EARLY CONTRACTOR
INVOLVEMENT COST PREDICTABILITY
ENHANCE SCHEDULE CONTROLS AND
RISK MITIGATION --
AT THE SENATOR MENTIONED ARTIE
CON IS C. SACKS RESIDENT EXPERT
ON SEA MAR SO I WANTED TO FOR A
MAJORITY OF MY TIME. TO HURT TO
TALK ABOUT THAT ASPECTS OF SEA
MAR THAT I THINK THE COMMITTEE
WILL BE INTERESTED IN BUT I DID
WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO REMIND
THE COMMITTEE.
THAT NINE FOURTEEN MERELY
EXPANDS EXISTING COUNTY
AUTHORITY TO OTHER TYPES OF
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS WE ARE
NOT AMENDING THE PROJECT COSTS
THRESHOLD IN NEW LA ALREADY OF
ONE MILLION DOLLARS OR MORE.
IT DOES NOT AMEND THE SKILLED
TRAINED WORKFORCE PROVISIONS
THAT THE LEGISLATURE ADOPTED
UNANIMOUSLY AND AB EIGHT FIVE
ONE JUST LAST YEAR.
I S. B. NINE FOURTEEN DOESN'T
CHANGE THE WAY IN WHICH THE
CONTRACT IS COMPETITIVELY
PROCURED AND LASTLY A THE
EXISTING SEA MAR THIRTY IS SET
TO SUNSET AND TWENTY TWENTY
THREE SO THE LEGISLATURE WILL
HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO
REVIEW SEA MAR.
THIRTY AND ITS APPLICATION TO
THESE OTHER TYPES OF
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN JUST
A FEW YEARS THANK YOU THANK YOU.
WELCOME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH GOOD
AFTERNOON --
DOWN CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS NOT ECONOMY
DEPUTY DIRECTOR WITH ORANGE
COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS.
AND I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT WHAT SEE MAR IS AND WHAT
IT DOES --
AND I'LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS TRADITIONAL METHOD OF
DESIGN FIT BUILT A CONTRACTOR IS
SPECIFICALLY PRECLUDED BY LAW
FROM PARTICIPATING IN THE DESIGN
PHASE OF THE PROJECT.
THIS CREATES A SITUATION WHERE
IN THE COUNTY AND ITS DESIGNER
WORK TOGETHER TO PRODUCE A PLAN --
SPECIFICATIONS AND ESTIMATES
ONLY TO HAND OF THOSE OVER TO A
CONTRACTOR THAT HAS HAD NO
INVOLVEMENT IN THE PROCESS UNTIL
THE PROJECT IS ADVERTISE WHAT
COMES IN LATE --
CONVERSELY THE SEA MAR MEANT
THAT --
REQUIRES THAT THE MOST QUALIFIED
CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATE IN THE
DESIGN PHASE UP PROVIDING
CONSTRUCTIVE BILLY REVIEWS VALUE
ENGINEERING ALTERNATIVES AND
GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE.
WOULD SEE MARK COST ESCALATIONS
ARE MITIGATED THROUGH THE EARLY
INVOLVEMENT OF THE CONTRACTOR
SELECTED AS THE MOST QUALIFIED
TO BUILD A SPECIFIC PROJECT.
ADDITIONALLY THE CONTRACTORS
REQUIRED INVOLVEMENT IN THE
DESIGN PHASE ALLOWS FOR A
COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO
RESOLVING ISSUES AND ALLOWS THE
CONTRACTOR TO RECOMMEND DESIGNED
ADJUSTMENTS THAT BETTER ALIGNED
WITH HOW THE CONTRACTOR PLANS TO
BUILD THE PROJECT.
FINALLY THE CONTRACT IS AFFORDED
THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK FOR
ADDITIONAL RESEARCH OR
INFORMATION TO BETTER COMPLETELY
GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE.
THROUGH EARLY INVOLVEMENT BY THE
MOST QUALIFIED CONTRACTOR WE
FEEL THAT THE OPPORTUNITY IS
ENHANCE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
SCHEDULE THAT HAS HIGHER SUCCESS
RATE FOR ON TIME DELIVERY.
ALSO THE TRADITIONAL ARE LOW BUT
PROCESS ONLY GUARANTEES LOWEST
INITIAL PRICE AND IN ALMOST ALL
CASES WE SEE --
ARE CHANGE ORDERS I DID WHEN WE
HAVE COMPLEX PROJECTS --
IN SUMMARY THE SEA MAR DELIVERY
METHOD IS BEST UTILIZED FOR
COMPLEX HIGH RISK PROJECTS WITH
MULTIPLE STAKEHOLDERS WERE
BUDGET AND SCHEDULE CONSTRAINTS
OUR PRIMARY CONCERN.
UNFORTUNATELY COUNTIES ARE
CURRENTLY LIMITED FROM UTILIZING
SEEM ARE ONLY EXCEPT FOR OWNED
OR LEASED BUSINESS A BUILDINGS
EXCUSE ME.
I'M CLOSING THE SEA MAR A
DELIVERY METHOD IS AN OPTION FOR
INCREASING THE RATE OF SUCCESS
FOR MAJOR CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION
PROJECTS.
AND COUNTY SIMPLY DESIRE TO BE
ABLE TO UTILIZE THE RIGHT TOOL
FOR THE RIGHT JOB AN SP NINE
FOURTEEN GIVES THE COUNTIES
ANOTHER TOOL IN OUR TOOLBOX SO

I AND COUNTIES FOR SEEKING
ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY --
HOWEVER THERE'S A PROVISION IN
THE BILL THAT DISADVANTAGES --
A. B. C. MEMBER COMPANIES AS
COMPARED TO A UNION CONTRACTORS
THAT THE PROVISION IN THE BILL
THAT EXEMPTS LABOR FROM THE
SKILLED AND TRAINED WORKFORCE
REQUIREMENTS IF THERE'S A
PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT ENFORCED.
BAN THAT SKILLED AND TRAINED
WORKFORCE REQUIREMENTS DON'T
APPLY WE THINK THAT WHAT'S GOOD

IS APPROPRIATE IT SHOULD APPLY

THIS IS S. BE TEN THIRTY FIVE OF
A BILL THAT PROVIDES A CLEAR.
REGULAR AND FLEXIBLE UPDATE
REQUIREMENT FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO FOLLOW WHEN
ADDRESSING CLIMATE ADAPTATION
AND RESILIENCY.
IN THEIR GENERAL PLANNING.
THIS BILL --
PROVIDES AN UPDATE SCHEDULE. TO
THIS CRITICAL SECTION OR I

SCHEDULE TO THIS CRITICAL
SECTION OF GENERAL PLAN LAW THAT

TWENTY FIFTEEN WITH.
A BILL I AUTHORED S. B..
THREE SEVENTY NINE AND ITS SETS
FORTH THE REQUIREMENT THAT LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS MUST UPDATE THEIR
SAFETY ELEMENT FOR CLIMATE
ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCY
STRATEGIES WHEN THEY UPDATE
THEIR HOUSING ELEMENT.
OR THEIR LOCAL HAZARD MITIGATION
PLAN WHICHEVER SERVES THE LOCAL
PLANNING PROCESS BETTER.
THIS PROVISION STILL REQUIRES
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO UPDATE
THEIR SAFETY ELEMENTS ON A
REGULAR BASIS.
ALLOWING NO MORE THAN EIGHT
YEARS BETWEEN UPDATES.
AND THIS UPDATE REQUIREMENT
REQUIRES FREQUENT BUT FLEXIBLE
APPROACHES ENSURING LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS REGULARLY UPDATE
THEIR GENERAL PLANS AS NEW
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS EMERGE
AND OF COURSE WE KNOW.
THAT WITH CLIMATE CHANGE AND NEW
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS A
OCCURRING AS A RESULT WHETHER
ITS FIRES WHETHER IT'S FLOODS
THAT HAVE.
A RECONFIGURED THE LANDSCAPE AND
THOSE CHANGED ARE THE OF FLOOD
PLANNING IN FLIGHT CONTROL
ISSUES OF AN AREA.
JUST AS A WILD EXAMPLE
HYPOTHETICAL OF COURSE.
ABOUT WHICH IS IN FACT OCCURRED
IN IN MY COMMUNITY --
IT WILL --
PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
FLEXIBLE APPROACHES --
THAT WHILE PROVIDING LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS WITH THE OPTION TO
COMPLY BASED ON THEIR LOCAL
NEEDS THIS IS VERY LOCALLY
CENTERED.
OF THE ORIGINAL REQUIREMENT FOR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO ADDRESS
CLIMATE ADAPTATION OF PLANNING
WAS ESTABLISHED IN.
TWENTY FIFTEEN NOW WE ARE ADDING
CLIMATE IMPACT ASSISTING LIST
THAT INCLUDES FIRES AND FLOODS
WHICH AT THE TIME WISHING IS
UNUSUAL.
BUT INCREASINGLY FREQUENT SADLY
AND WE KNOW NOW THE CATASTROPHIC
EVENTS ARE BECOMING THE NEW
NORMAL.
AND WITH MAJOR FIRES OCCURRING
IN VIRTUALLY EVERY DISTRICT IN
THE STATE.
INCLUDING MY DISTRICT AND I KNOW
THE CHAIRS DISTRICT IN PERHAPS --
AS A LOOK AROUND OTHERS IN THIS

THANK YOU YOUR VOTE UP.

MISTER ALLEN AND I THINK --
YOU'RE HERE TO PRESENT THE SP
NIGHT.
SIXTY THREE IF THAT'S RIGHT
[inaudible]
THANK YOU.
MISTER BLOOM AGUILAR CARRY.
YEAH THAT CLOSER FROM HER NAME
SUDDENLY GOT LONGER [inaudible]
UNIVERSITY --
LET ME LET ME START BY THANKING
THE COMMITTEE FOR ITS ANALYSIS
IN AGREEING TO THE TACTICAL
AMENDMENT THAT'S OUTLINED A
COMMENT.
FOR OF YOUR NOW SEES MEMBERS IT
RELATIVE TO THE TERMINOLOGY
WHICH OUTLINES A DISH THE
AUDITING REQUIREMENTS.
IN THE BILL.
SO SP.
NINE SIXTY THREE REPEALS A
SECTION THE WATER COULD PLACING
A TEN MILLION DOLLAR CAP ON THE
GENERAL RESERVE FUND OF THE
WATER REPLENISHMENT DISTRICT.
IT REQUIRES THAT A MINIMUM OF
80% OF THE RESERVE FUND BE
EXPENDED SPECIFICALLY. FOR WATER
PURCHASES.
THESE RESTRICTIONS WERE PUT IN
PLACE EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO IN THE
WAKE OF A STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT
THAT FOUND THE WATER PLEDGE
INDUSTRY OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA'S ASSESSMENT RATES.
WERE TOO HIGH THAT THE DISTRICT
MAINTAINED EXCESSIVE.
CASH RESERVES.
NOW NO OTHER INDEPENDENT SPECIAL
DISTRICT IS SUBJECT TO
RESTRICTION ON ITS RESERVES.
AND IN THE YEARS SINCE THESE
RESTRICTIONS WERE IMPOSED.
THE WATER REPLENISHMENT DISTRICT
THE ONLY WATER PUNCH FOR
DISTURBING THE STATE THAT'S I'M
KNOW JUST AS THE W. ARE D..
HAS SUBSEQUENTLY WON MULTIPLE
AWARDS FOR ITS FISCAL PRACTICES
AND TRANSPARENCIES.
SO THEY ARE THEY'VE GOT THEIR
ACT TOGETHER O. AFTER A LONG
PERIOD OF TIME AND I THINK WE'RE
NOW AT THE PLACE WHERE WE CAN.
AND WE CAN CHANGE AROUND SOME OF
THESE RULES IN IN A WAY THAT
WILL ACTUALLY MEET.
THE CURRENT STATE OF PLAY IN
TERMS OF WATER PROCUREMENT SO ME
EXPLAIN HOW THAT THE RULES RIGHT
NOW ARE ARE.
CRITICS IN CHALLENGES FIRST OF
ALL THE RESTRICTIONS THAT
PREVENTED THE WRT FROM
ACCUMULATING.
I NECESSARILY HIRE RESERVE
LEVELS IN WATER THE WATER
PURCHASE REQUIREMENT.
MADE SENSE AT THE TIME BUT NOW I
TIMES AND GROUNDWATER
REPLENISHING BEST PRACTICES IF
CHANGE SO FLUCTUATIONS IN COST.
AND IN RELIABILITY OF SUPPLY
HAVE [inaudible]
PRACTICAL NEED TO BECOME
INDEPENDENT OF IMPORTED WATER
SHIFTING INSTEAD TO THE
PRODUCTION OF LOCAL RELIABLE
SUPPLIES FOR PURPOSES OF
REPLENISHING THE CENTRAL WEST
COAST GROUND WATER BASINS.
SO THE IDEA WAS AT THE TIME THEY
WANTED THE MONEY TO GO TOWARD
WATER PURCHASES BY THERE'S NOW.
A LOT MORE --
OF A PUSH TOWARD LOCAL
PRODUCTION.
AND SO THAT THERE'S JUST BEEN A
SHIFT IN THE IN THE WAY THAT
THEY'VE BEEN THAT THEY COME TO
SEE THEIR BUSINESS MODEL AND IT.
AND IT'S VERY MUCH A COMPLIANCE
WITH ENVIRONMENTAL BEST
PRACTICES NOUN A COURSE IN FOR
THOSE WHO ARE FROM THE AREA
YOU'LL YOU'LL LIKE THE FACT THAT
WERE.
I'M TRYING.
TO REDUCE LOS ANGELES'S RELIANCE
ON OTHER REGIONS FOR WATER SO
THE WB'S WATER INDEPENDENCE NOW
NGUYEN.
W. AYE AND PROGRAM AIMS TO
ELIMINATE THE NEED TO PURCHASE
IMPORTED WATER FROM.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND FROM THE
COLORADO RIVER FOR GROUNDWATER
REPLENISHMENT.
AND ONCE FULLY ESTABLISHED THE
DEPUTIES REGIONS I GROUNDWATER
BASES WILL WILL COMPLETELY BE
LOCALLY SUSTAINABLE LOCALLY
SOURCED WHICH IS THAT DOT THE
PLANET'S OF ONE I THINK WE OUGHT
TO SUPPORT.
SO THIS BILL PERMITS THE WB TO
BETTER MANAGE ITS FINANCES FOR
CHANGING WATER CONDITIONS AND
DEMANDS.
IT PROVIDES A W. THE ABILITY TO
SHIFT AWAY FROM OUTDATED
RELIABILITY AND WATER IMPORTS TO
MODERN MODEL OF LOCAL SOURCING
AND SUSTAINABILITY WHILE.
PLANNING FOR SUBSTANTIAL
OPERATING COSTS THAT IT WILL
ENCOURAGE FINANCING ITS ADVANCE
WATER TREATMENT FACILITIES THE
BILL WILL LIMIT THE ULTIMATE
PRICE TO TAXPAYERS.
BY PERMITTING COST TO BE ADDRESS
ON A PAY AS YOU GO BASIS RATHER
THAN THROUGH MORE EXPENSIVE DEBT
FINANCING THE BILL HAS NO
OPPOSITION ITS GUARD GOING TO
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT NIGHT.
RESPECT YES RIGHT VOTE.
THANK YOU WITNESSES SINCE WE

INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING
DISTRICTS OR E. I. F. DIS TO DO
MAINTENANCE ON THE FACILITIES

CHILD CARE FACILITIES PARKS AND

OTHER COMMUNITY BENEFIT PROJECTS.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY OVER TWENTY
FIVE EEF DIS ACROSS THE STRAIGHT
STATE THAT ARE EITHER APPROVED

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THAT ARE
CONSIDERING ESTABLISHING E. IFT
ARE FACING THE CURRENT
LIMITATION ON MAINTAINING THE
PROJECTS THAT WILL BE BUILT.
AS YOU KNOW LONG TERM
MAINTENANCE COSTS ARE OFTEN
TIMES OVERLOOKED IN THESE TYPE
OF DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.
PRESENTLY III OF DIS CANNOT PAY
FOR MAINTENANCE ROUTINE REPAIRS
OR OPERATIONS THIS SITUATION IS
PROBLEMATIC SINCE MANY
COMMUNITIES WILL NEED FUNDS FROM
THESE DISTRICTS TO MAINTAIN THE
STRUCTURES OVER TIME.
S. B. ELEVEN FORTY FIVE ALLOWS
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO PRO
ACTIVELY BUDGET MAINTENANCE
COSTS FROM THE I FD REVENUES
RATHER THAN RELY ON VOLATILE
GENERAL FUNDS.
VERY VERY CLEAR THE BILL DOES
NOT ASK FOR NEW FUNDS TAXES OR

FOR THE CITY OF WEST SACRAMENTO
AND IS REPRESENTING THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF LOCAL
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
[inaudible]
AARON.
AND HERE'S A GENTLEMAN HAS USE
THE TOOL SO WELCOME AND THANK
YOU.
KNOW THAT'S TRUE --
SO AGAIN THERE.
THE MEASURE WAS SACRAMENTO SO --
WE WERE THANK YOU WE WERE THE
FIRST -- STE
A CITY IN THE STATE --
TO FORMING I'VE D. WERE NOW IN
THE OF USING IT --
TO BUILD ALL SORTS OF PROJECTS
SO -- THAT
ISSUE IS THE ISSUE FOR WAS
SACRAMENTO IS AN ONGOING
MAINTENANCE BUT I CAN SPEAK FOR
CALOTES MEMBERSHIP IT IS AN
ISSUE ACROSS THE STATUS THEY
CITIES LOOK AT THIS TOOL.
SO I WANT TO GIVE A COUPLE OF
PRACTICAL EXAMPLES FIRST DUB
KIND OF FRAMING THE PROBLEMS ONE
CITIES I DON'T THINK A LOT OF
YOU HAVE LOOKED GOVERNMENT
BACKGROUNDS YOU CAN APPRECIATE
THIS WERE REALLY GOOD AT
BUILDING THINGS.
BUT IT'S VERY HARD TO BUDGET
MONEY FOR MAINTENANCE THAT'S
JUST A FACT OF LIFE IN CITY
GOVERNMENT --
NOW THE ID'S ARE IN PLACE THEY
ARE ALSO CONTEMPLATED BE MULTI
JURISDICTIONAL OR TO WORK ON
PROJECTS ACROSS.
AGENCY LINES AND SO THAT'S
ANOTHER IMPETUS FOR THIS BILL SO
JUST FOR EXAMPLE WERE BUILDING A
PROJECT WAS THAT THE CITY WHAT
OF SACRAMENTO TO BRIDGE --
THAT WILL REPLACE THE OLD AYE
STREET BRIDGE OF SO BLOODY
PRIVATELY WITH THAT.
THAT PROJECT IS BY ITS NATURE TO
SEE PROJECT IT'S GONNA BE VERY
EXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN AND OUR A
I'VE THE WILL HELP FINANCE IT IS
IT LIKELY TO BE MAINTAINED AND
OPERATED BY SOMETHING THAT MIGHT
BE A GPA.
THIS CONCEPT WOULD APPLY HERE IS
THAT THE I'VE D. COULD ACTUALLY
BUDGET ONGOING FUNDS.
THROUGH A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
WITH THE JPA.
PAGE YOU GO MANY.
THE IDEA WOULD GENERATE I'D TAKE
CARE OF THE MAINTENANCE FOR THE
LIFESPAN OF THE BRIDGE AND
THAT'S A MUCH MORE RESPONSIBLE
WAY OF BUDGETING FOR MAINTENANCE
THAN RELYING ON ONGOING.
AND LIMITED REVENUES FROM
GENERAL FUND BUDGET SO --
WITH THE I'M HERE TO ANSWER.
ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE OF AND
AND RESPECT WE ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT OF THIS IS ABOUT LIKE I
SAID A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR
CALLIN CHINE.
AND IN ITS EFFORT TO BE A LEADER
ON THIS SIDE TAX INCREMENT ISSUE
STATEWIDE SO THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IS THERE
ANYONE ELSE AND SUPPORT OF THE
BILL.
SING IN AND IS THERE ANYONE IN.
OH OKAY THERE'S A SUPPORT.
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS I MATTHEW
HARD TO THE CALIFORNIA BUSINESS
PROPERTIES ASSOCIATION.
YOU PROBABLY NORMALLY SEE ME ON
THE SAME SIDE OF THE TABLE THIS
GENTLEMAN ON THINGS LIKE THIS.
BUT WE DO KNOW THAT THAT YEAH IF
THE IS SOMETHING THAT'S ON THE
AND EVOLVING ISSUE AYE WE'RE
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO
IT.
AYE OUR MEMBERS --
ARE DEFERRING TO CAL AT ON THIS.
ONE BUT WE BELIEVE THAT.
THEY SHOULD BE ABLE CITY SHOULD
BE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY. TO
FUND THE THINGS THAT THEY BUILD
SO -- WE ARE
IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL --
EARLIER I DON'T THINK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IS THERE
ANYONE ELSE IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL.

OPPOSITION NEWMAN OPPOSITION.
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS GOOD
AFTERNOON DAVID WOLF AT THE
HOWARD JARVIS TAXPAYERS
ASSOCIATION OPPOSED
UNFORTUNATELY TO THE BILL TODAY.
AND WHILE MISTER HERGER OF
MENTION THAT USUALLY WE'RE ON
THE SAME SIDE OF TABLE LEAST ON
THIS BILL WE ARE AT THE TABLE
WHICH IS GOOD NEWS --
MEMBERS IT'S BEEN STATED THAT
THE INTENT OF THE PROPONENTS IS
TO ENSURE THAT HE OF IDEAS HAVE
THE ABILITY TO USE PAGE YOU GO
FUNDS TO FUND MAINTENANCE
PROJECTS THAT LAST LESS THAN
FIFTEEN YEARS.
IF THAT IS TRULY THE INTENT OF
THE LEGISLATION WE HAVE NO
OBJECTION TO THAT AND WILL IN
FACT PROPER OPPOSITION.
HOWEVER THAT'S NOT WHAT WE THINK
THE BILL SAYS.
WHAT THE BILL DOES PROHIBIT
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE FROM BEING
PAID WITH BOND FUNDS WE DO THINK
IT CREATES A LOOPHOLE WHEREBY
THE ONGOING OR CAPITALIZE COST
TO MAINTAIN PUBLIC CAPITAL
FACILITIES?
UNQUOTE WHICH WE BELIEVE TO BE
PROJECTS WITH LIFE CYCLE COSTS
OF LESS THAN FIFTEEN YEARS COULD
IN FACT BE FUNDED WITH BOND
DOLLARS.
MEMBERS WE'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED
THAT BONDS OF ALL TYPES SHOULD
RECEIVE TWO THIRDS VOTER
APPROVAL AS ONGOING DEBT.
THAT THEY SHOULD BE SPENT ON
CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT LAST
THOUGH AND FOR THE BLIND AND NOT
BASED ON ON GOING REACHING
MAINTENANCE OF ANY KIND --
AS I MENTIONED PROPONENTS
INITIATE CARE DO APPEAR TO BE
SOMEWHAT ON THE SAME PAGE HERE.
I DID REQUEST COMMITTEE STAFF
THAT THE BILL BE PUT OVER TILL
LATER THIS MONTH HOWEVER THAT
OFFER WAS REJECTED SO
UNFORTUNATELY WE DO HAVE TO BE
HERE.

THE BILL BUT WE DO LOOK FORWARD

AUTHOR AND SPONSORS.
