STATE DEPARTMENTS. ELEVEN
POSITIONS FOR ADMIN DIVISION --

TRANSITIONING THOSE BLANCA
POSITIONS PERMIT POSITIONS AND
THEN THE FOURTH ITEM WHICH I
THINK IS THE ONE PROBABLY MOST
IN NEED OF DISCUSSION TODAY.

THE STATE WIDE TRAVEL PROGRAM --
QUICK BACKGROUND THE STATEWIDE
TRAVEL PROGRAM IS CREATED TO
SERVE AS KIND OF A SINGLE POINT
OF CONTACT FOR ALL STATE TRAVEL
BOOKING SUTRI ECONOMIES OF SCALE --
WHEN THE PROGRAM WAS INITIALLY
ESTABLISHED -- DEPARTMENTS HAD
TRANSACTION FEES EVERY TIME THEY
BOOKED A RENTAL CAR HOTEL ROOM
OR FLIGHT -- THE IDEA WAS OVER
TIME WE WOULD GAIN REVENUE FROM
OUR CONTACT THE TRAVEL VENDORS
TO BE ABLE TO OFFSET THE
TRANSACTION FEES WITH THAT
REVENUE.
SO THE REQUEST BEFORE YOU TODAY
IS AN INCREASE IN AUTHORITY SO
THAT WE CAN USE THE FUNDS WE'VE
BEEN -- WE'VE BEEN RECEIVING

AND HAS AWARDED THE I. T.
ENTERPRISE CONTRACT WHICH
FURTHER RESTRICTS DVP

A CLEAR SOLUTION PRESENTED IN
THE STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT.
WAS TO ALLOW DISABLED VETERAN
FIRMS THE ABILITY TO COMPETE ON
STATE CONTRACTS.
TGS HAS FAILED TO FOLLOW THE
ADVICE AND IS GONE DIRECTLY
AGAINST THE RECOMMENDATIONS.
BY NOT ALLOWING ALL THE V. FIRMS
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE I. T.
ENTERPRISE STATEWIDE CONTRACT.
THIS CALL LIMóN EIGHT THE
ABILITY 495% OF THE FIRMS IN THE

HIGHLIGHT ASPECTS OF THE
PROPOSED INCREASE IN CALIFORNIA
VOLUNTEERS AMERICORPS FINDING.
I'M JOINED BY SHEILA BOXLEY THE
PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE CHILD
ABUSE PREVENTION CENTER AND ONE
OF CALIFORNIA VOLUNTEERS
GRANTEES.
IN A MOMENT SHE'LL BE ABLE TO
SHARE FIRST HAND HER INSIGHTS ON
WHAT IT MEANS TO REALLY UTILIZE
AMERICORPS MEMBERS WELL I DRESS
BUT BEFORE THAT I'D LIKE TO
OFFER A GLIMPSE INTO AMERICORPS
CALIFORNIA. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO
DON'T KNOW AMERICORPS IS A
FEDERAL FUNDING SOURCE THAT USES
THE POWER OF SERVICE TO ADDRESS
LOCAL COMMUNITY NEEDS.
OUR STATE COMMISSION CURRENTLY
OVERSEES FIVE THOUSAND
AMERICORPS MEMBERS SLOTS THAT
ARE PLACED WITH SIXTY GRANTEES.
OVER 50% OF THE FUNDING REQUIRED
TO RUN THESE PROGRAMS COMES FROM
A LOCAL MATCH SOURCE.
WHICH TYPICALLY COMES FROM A
LARGE CORPORATION A FOUNDATION.
OR PERHAPS OTHER PUBLIC FUNDS.
GOVERNOR NEWSOME UNDERSTANDS
THAT THERE ARE MANY HIGH NEED
COMMUNITIES THAT SIMPLY ARE NOT
IN A POSITION TO SECURE THIS
MATCH
AND THEREFORE THEY FIND
THEMSELVES UNABLE TO APPLY.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE PROPOSING AND
INVESTMENT OF STATE FUNDS IN
THIS CASE TEN OF THE TWENTY
MILLION. TO GROW AMERICORPS IN
THESE HIGH NEED COMMUNITIES.
ALSO AS MANY AS YOU MAY KNOW
UPON THE COMPLETION OF A FULL
YEAR OF FULL TIME SERVICE AN
AMERICORPS MEMBER RECEIVE SIX
THOUSAND DOLLARS. TO PAY BACK
STUDENT LOANS OR TO INVEST IN
FUTURE STUDIES OR TRAINING.
THE GOVERNOR HAS PROPOSED AN
INCREASE OF THIS AWARD TO REACH
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS PER FULL
TIME MEMBER.
WITHIN INVESTMENT TOTAL OF TEN
MILLION.
THE AVERAGE CALIFORNIA'S STUDENT
DEBT IS THIRTY THREE THOUSAND
PER PERSON.
AND WE BELIEVE THAT ONE WAY TO
PAY DOWN A PORTION OF THIS DEBT.
IS TO ASSIST THOSE WHO ARE
WILLING TO GIVE A YEAR OF THEIR
LIFE IN SERVICE TO HIGH NEED
CALIFORNIANS.
WE BELIEVE THAT WHILE SACRAMENTO
HAS BENEFITED FROM STRONG
AMERICORPS PROGRAMS LIKE BIRTH
IN BEYOND WHERE MEMBERS TEACH
PARENTING SKILLS TO LOW INCOME
FAMILIES.
ALL HIGH NEED COMMUNITIES
DESERVE THIS PROGRAM.
WHILE CITY YOUR LOS ANGELES
MEMBERS GIVE INVALUABLE SUPPORT
TO YOUNG PEOPLE IN ORDER TO
CLOSE THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
GAP.
AGAIN ALL STRUGGLING COMMUNITIES
DESERVE THESE PROGRAMS.
WE HAVE AMERICORPS MEMBERS
PROVIDING SERVICES FOR VETS FOR
THE HOMELESS FOR FOSTER YOU.
AS WELL AS MEMBERS ENGAGED IN MY
BUYER MIDDLE STEWARDSHIP AND
HELPING LOW INCOME FAMILIES
NAVIGATE THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
I MEAN THAT SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE
TO ALL OF CALIFORNIA'S
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.
IN THE END AMERICORPS MEETS
COMMUNITY NEEDS BY ADDING
CAPACITY TO THE ORGANIZATIONS
WHO ARE ON THE GROUND.
DOING THE HARD WORK DAY IN AND
DAY OUT WHAT WE'VE LEARNED IS
THAT AMERICORPS MEMBERS TAKE
THEIR EXPERIENCE AND BECOME A
PART OF THE NONPROFIT AND PUBLIC
SECTOR WORK FORCE.
OR WORK IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR
WITH A VIBRANT COMMITMENT TO
VOLUNTEERING.
AND IT ACTUALLY SAVES TAXPAYER
DOLLARS BY PROVIDING EFFICIENT
SOLUTIONS TO SOME OF OUR MOST
CHALLENGING PUBLIC NEEDS.
BUT ABOVE ALL AMERICORPS UNITES
CALIFORNIANS IN SERVICE AS MANY
VETERANS WILL TELL YOU.
ALTHOUGH THE SERVICEMAN OR WOMAN
STANDING NEXT TO YOU MAY LOOK
DIFFERENT FROM YOU ARE COME FROM
A DIFFERENT BACKGROUND.
SERVING TOGETHER CONNECTS YOU IN
A TRULY FUNDAMENTAL WAY.
AND IN THE DAY AND AGE WHERE OUR
SOCIETY IS BECOMING MORE AND
MORE FRACTURED WE ARE CALLED TO
INVEST IN OPPORTUNITIES TO BRING
CALIFORNIANS TOGETHER.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES US STRONGER
THAT'S WHAT UNITES US AGAIN ON
BEHALF OF CALIFORNIA VOLUNTEERS
ARE REALLY WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK TODAY THANK YOU AND IF WE
CAN.
BRIEFLY TOUCH UPON SOME OF THE
ITEMS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO DISCUSS
YES I WILL INDEED TRY TO BE
BRIEF I'M SHE LOVE OXLEY THE
PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE CHILD
ABUSE PREVENTION CENTER WHICH IS
A STATEWIDE ORGANIZATION.
AND I AM GRATEFUL THAT WE HAVE
BEEN USING AMERICORPS AS A KEY
STRATEGY FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS
IN THIS DAY AND TO LET YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS IS ALMOST FOUR
HUNDRED AND INDIVIDUALS TODAY
OUR AMERICORPS MEMBERS. FOR
HELPING TO PREVENT CHILD ABUSE
AND NEGLECT.
THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL WITH 97% OF
THE FAMILIES THAT THEY WORK WITH
AND WE CAN PROVIDE THAT SERVICE
THROUGH AMERICORPS HOME
VISITATION THE FAMILY RESOURCE
CENTER SERVICES FOUR THOUSAND
DOLLARS A FAMILY A YEAR.
AND THE COST FOR A CHILD WHO
GOES INTO CHILD WELFARE IS TWO
HUNDRED AND SIXTY EIGHT THOUSAND
DOLLARS AND SO THERE'S QUITE A
RETURN ON INVESTMENT.
AND THERE'S BEEN A RECENT --
VERY RECENT REPORT THAT'S COME
OUT AND SAID THAT CALIFORNIA HAS
TO SPEND ABOUT NINETEEN TWO
BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR ON THE
IMPACTS OF CHILD ABUSE NEGLECT.
SO WE THINK THIS IS IS A
SERIOUSLY VALID A RETURN ON
INVESTMENT AND A REALLY GREAT
STEP FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
AND ONE OTHER QUICK THING WE'RE
ABLE TO RECRUIT PEOPLE TO BE
AMERICORPS MEMBERS FROM WITH IN
COMMUNITIES.
SO THEY REFLECT THE COMMUNITIES
THEY'RE SERVING AS AN EXAMPLE
ONE FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER HERE
IN SACRAMENTO PROVIDE SERVICES
IN FOURTEEN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES
SO WE'RE ON THE GROUND WE'RE
GIVING PEOPLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
THEIR OWN FUTURE.
AS WELL AS FOR THOSE THAT THEY
SERVE.
THANK YOU THANKS FOR YOUR
SERVICE AND FOR YOUR COMMENTS --
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM
COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
LA OR FINANCE NO PROTEST ANY
PUBLIC COMMENTS.
GOOD WE'RE STREAMING ALONG THANK
YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU THIS
ITEM WILL BE HELD OPEN
[inaudible]
ANYONE ECONOMIST [inaudible]
YEAH.
SO LET'S GO BACK.
TO THE FIRST ITEM OF FOR ITEMS
TO BE HEARD.
ISSUE NUMBER ONE STATEWIDE
FINANCE INSURANCE POOL.
MISTER DALE FOUNTAIN WITH ENACT
UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE FOR
CALIFORNIA [inaudible]
WELCOME.
I BELIEVE YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES
TO MAKE A PRESENTATION
[inaudible]
YES.
LEGISLATORS GOVERNOR GAVIN
NEWSOM ON DALE FOUNTAIN
CHAIRPERSON AND CEO OF AN ACT
UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE FOR
CALIFORNIA.
I REPRESENT THE LARGEST SINGLE
PAYER ORGANIZATION IN CALIFORNIA.
WITH OVER A HUNDRED EIGHTEEN
THOUSAND SUPPORTERS WHO ACTUALLY
LIVE IN CALIFORNIA.
LET'S TALK ABOUT WHY I'M HERE
TODAY.
IT'S NOT THROUGH CALLING OR
LETTERS OR BEING POLITE.
THAT GOT ME THIS PRESENTATION.
NO IT WAS BY TELLING FILL TANG
THAT HE WON'T BE REELECTED NEXT
YEAR.
NOW I WAS PROMISED.
I WAS PROMISED HELP WITH
ACTUARIES AND I WAS PROMISED A
FULL FIFTEEN TO THIRTY MINUTE
PRESENTATION BY TING STAFFER.
CHRISTIAN GRIFFITH.
BUT I WAS LIED TO BECAUSE THIS
CAN ONLY BE A FIVE MINUTE SPEECH
NOT RECEIVE NOTHING.
BUT A GOOGLE SEARCH WOULDN'T
HAVE TOLD ME.
OBVIOUSLY I CAN'T GIVE A FULL
PRESENTATION WITH ONLY FIVE
MINUTES SO I PARED IT DOWN
CONSIDERABLY AS YOU'LL HEAR IN A
MOMENT.
LET'S GET TO THE HISTORY OF
SINGLE PAYER LEGISLATION IN THE
LEGISLATURE'S RESPONSE.
OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS.
IN MARCH OF TWENTY SEVENTEEN SB
FIVE SIXTY TWO WAS INTRODUCED.
PASSED THE SENATE.
AND STOPPED BY THE ASSEMBLY.
OKAY.
WE AT LEAST MY AWARD.
UNDERSTOOD THAT THE STATE
CONSTITUTION NEEDED TO BE
AMENDED TO EXEMPT HEALTH CARE
FUNDING FROM ARTICLE THIRTEEN
BEAT THE STATE SPENDING CAP.
AND ARTICLE SIXTEEN A. K. A.
PROP.
NINETY EIGHT WELL DESPITE SO
MANY LEGISLATORS CLAIMING TO
SUPPORT SINGLE PAYER.
NO ONE SUPPORTED THE NECESSARY
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
[inaudible]
OKAY.
THE ASSEMBLY HELD HEARINGS ONE
OF WHICH I WAS A PANELIST ON AND
ONE OF THE BILLS THAT CAME OUT
WAS THE COUNCIL ON HEALTH CARE
DELIVERY SYSTEMS WHICH WAS
TASKED TO RESEARCH AND RECOMMEND
A SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM.
IT PASSED THE ASSEMBLY AND THEN
WAS INSERTED INTO THE BUDGET BY
GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN HIMSELF AND
ENACTED INTO LAW.
IN THE INTERIM ASH KALRA
INTRODUCED A PRICE CONTROL BILL
IN.
TWENTY EIGHTEEN IT PASSED THE
HEALTH COMMITTEE.
AND THEN HE QUIETLY WITHDREW IT
WITH NO EXPLANATION GIVEN.
PRICE CONTROLS ARE ESSENTIAL TO
ALL UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE
INFORMATIONS.
THAT THE LEGISLATURE DIDN'T WANT
TO TACKLE THAT EITHER.
IN THE TWENTY EIGHTEEN ELECTIONS
MOST OF YOU CAMPAIGNED ON SINGLE
PAYER.
OR AT LEAST SIGNIFICANTLY
REFORMING OR TAKEN SUBSTANTIAL
STEPS TO MAKE HEALTHCARE MORE
AFFORDABLE.
PRESENT DAY.
GAVIN NEWSOM STILL HASN'T MADE
HIS THREE REQUIRED APPOINTMENTS
TO THE COUNCIL ON HEALTH CARE
DELIVERY SYSTEMS.
AND THE COUNCIL HAS ALREADY
MISSED ITS FIRST MEETING.
ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION I
GOT FROM TONI ATKINS AND ANTHONY
RENDON OFFICES.
THEY SOMEHOW HAVE APPOINTED THE
SAME PERSON.
AND DESPITE YOUR CAMPAIGN
PROMISES NONE OF YOU HAVE TAKEN
ANY ACTION BEFORE THE FEBRUARY
TWENTY SECOND DEADLINE FOR NEW
BILLS.
SO MUCH FOR SINGLE PAYER.
OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS WE DID
SOME POLLING. 61% OF
CALIFORNIANS SUPPORT INCREASED
TAXES FOR SINGLE PAYER. 51% OF
CALIFORNIANS SUPPORT ELIMINATING
PRIVATE INSURANCE FOR SINGLE
PAYER.
AND 67% OF CALIFORNIANS OPPOSE
PENALTIES FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T
AFFORD HEALTH INSURANCE.
ALL OF THESE POLLS ARE AVAILABLE
ON OUR WEBSITE FOR YOU TO
ANALYZE.
SO LET'S GET TO THE STATE WIDE
HEALTH INSURANCE POOL.
AS I'VE SAID ON PERRANCE DOWN
SOMETHING EXTREMELY SIMPLE.
HERE IT IS SKIFF OR STATE FUND.
WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FOR
REGULAR HEALTH INSURANCE AS A
PUBLIC OPTION.
STATE FUND ALREADY HAS THE
INFRASTRUCTURE.
THE ACTUARIES AND THE PROVIDERS.
AND IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE CAN
LIMIT.
PROP NINETY EIGHT WAIVERS ARE
LIMITED BY ERISA.
AND IT COST THE STATE ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING TO DO THIS.
NOW WE'RE NOT TAKING NO FOR AN
ANSWER.
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE WE'VE
TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE.
THIS NEW MANDATE FOR STATE FIND
NEEDS TO SHOW UP IN THE MAY
BUDGET GET PASSED BY THE
LEGISLATURE AND SIGNED BY THE
GOVERNOR.
ARE NONE OF YOU ARE COMING BACK
AFTER THE TWENTY TWENTY ELECTION.
IF YOU SURVIVE YOU PRIMARIES.
MY WORK SUPPORTERS GOT YOU
ELECTED IN MY ORG SUPPORTERS
COLLECT SOMEONE ELSE.
SEE THAT WAS SIMPLE NOW DO YOUR
JOB HAVE A GREAT DAY.
THANK YOU LIKEWISE [inaudible]
OKAY.
ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THAT.
MOVING ON TO ISSUE ITEM NUMBER.
TEN TAXPAYER OUTRAGE AND
PREPARATION ASSISTANCE

NEXT ITEM ISSUE NUMBER.

COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE.
UPDATE ON FISCAL PROJECT
IMPLEMENTATION AND PROP PAYMENT
TRAILER BILL
[inaudible]
WELCOME.
GOOD MORNING GOOD AFTERNOON
SORRY.
I FEEL LIKE IT'S MORNING AS WELL.
MY NAME IS MERRIAM BARCELONA
ENGINEER -- AND I'M THE DIRECTOR
OF THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
SYSTEM FOR CALIFORNIA OUR
DISCOUNT.
AND I THOUGHT I WOULD START WITH
JUST A VERY HIGH LEVEL.
OVERVIEW -- AGAIN JUST JUST TO
TO REFRESH THE COMMITTEES --
MEMORY HERE.
THIS GIRL IS ONE OF THE LARGEST
MOST DYNAMIC I. T. UNDERTAKINGS
THAT THE STATE HAS -- DEPLOYED.
THAT IT IS NOT ONLY AN I. T.
PROJECT BUT ALSO A BUSINESS
TRANSFORMATION EFFORT.
WE ARE -- DEPLOYED IN A HUNDRED
AND FIFTY TWO DEPARTMENT SO A
100% OF THOSE DEPARTMENTS WE HAD
SET OUT -- TO IMPLEMENT AND AS
THE SCOPE HAS BEEN -- THEY ARE
IMPLEMENTED THERE UTILIZING THE
SYSTEM.
WE DO RECOGNIZE THAT SOME OF
THEM ARE HAVING PIECES OF THEIR
LEGACY SYSTEM STILL IN USE UNTIL
WE FINISH -- THE FUNCTIONALITY
THAT WE ARE DEPLOYING.
WHERE 98% OF THE FUNCTIONALITY
THAT WE SET OUT TO DEPLOY IS IN
PRODUCTION?
THAT INCLUDES THE BUDGET SO WE
HAVE ESTIMATED TWO HUNDRED
NINETY THREE BILLION DOLLARS IN
BUDGETARY EXPENDITURES.
ARE THREE OUR SYSTEM AS OF YOU
KNOW WITH INCLUDING THIS CURRENT
FISCAL YEAR.
ADD TO THAT REPRESENT 65% OF
TOTAL BUDGETARY EXPENDITURES.
IN OCTOBER WE BROUGHT ON THE
TREASURY FUNCTIONS WHICH IS TWO
TRILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF
BANKING TRANSACTIONS THAT THE
CONTRACT THAT THE STATE
TREASURER'S OFFICE -- PERFORMS
NOW UTILIZING OUR SYSTEM.
WE HAVE -- NINETY SEVEN THOUSAND
PROCUREMENT OUR BIDDERS AND
SUPPLIERS THAT ARE UTILIZING OUR
SYSTEM AS WELL TO DO BUSINESS
OUT OF SELLING GOODS AND
SERVICES TO THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
WE HAVE CURRENTLY OVER EIGHTEEN
THOUSAND END USERS THOSE ARE
STATE EMPLOYEES UTILIZING OUR
SYSTEM TO DO THEIR DAY TO DAY
JOBS -- I JUST WANT TO BRING
YOUR ATTENTION TO BECAUSE I KNOW
THAT THE QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED
SPECIFICALLY OF US WAS FOR THE
UPDATE ON THE SCO COMPONENTS AND
WHERE WE ARE ON THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT FINAL
FUNCTIONALITY.
WE IN S. P. R..
SEVEN WE BROKE OUT THE
DEPLOYMENT METHODOLOGY FROM A
WATERFALL RIPOFF THE BANDAID
DOING IT ALL AT ONCE TO TAKING
THAT FUNCTIONALITY BREAKING IT
INTO BUSINESS PROCESSES AND WE
RELEASED THAT.
WHEN WHAT WE WERE CALLING
MILESTONES MILESTONES ONE TWO
AND HALF OF THREE ARE FULLY
DEPLOYED?
AND MILESTONE THREE BE -- FOR
AND MILESTONE FIVE WE ARE
LOOKING.
TO BE DELAYED.
AND TO INSURE THAT WE HAVE ALL
OF THE PROPER TESTING IN PLACE
BUT WE DEPLOY.
SO THAT IS -- AN ITEM THAT IS
BEFORE MY STEERING KID COMMITTEE
TOMORROW AND WE'LL BE BACK TO
LEGISLATURE WHEN WE HAVE.
A DEFINITIVE ON WHAT THAT LOOKS
LIKE.
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS THAT [inaudible]
CONTROLLERS OFFICE.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS GEORGE
LOW LISTEN I'M THE CHIEF
OPERATING OFFICER AT THE STATE
COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE -- WE ARE
IN THE MIDDLE OF IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE CONTROL FUNCTIONS WITHIN
THE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE SAYS --
THE DIRECTOR MENTIONED -- AS
SOME OF THE DEPARTMENTS HAVE
BEEN STRUGGLING WITH FINALIZING
SOME OF THEIR WORK ISSUES WITH
THE SYSTEM WE HAVE AS WELL.
AND WE ARE WORKING VERY CLOSELY
WITH THE DISCOUNT DEPARTMENT AND
OUR PARTNERS TO MAKE SURE THAT --
THE FUNCTIONALITY IS WORKING
PROPERLY THAT ENHANCEMENTS THAT
MAY NEED TO BE MADE ARE
IMPLEMENTED SO THAT THE WORKLOAD
ISSUES BOTH OF THE DEPARTMENTS
AND ALSO MY OFFICE -- CAN BE
RESOLVED.
AND WE ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO
MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS HENCE THE
POSSIBLE DELAY THAT ARE THE
DIRECTOR MENTIONED OF THE
MILESTONE THREE B. AND MILESTONE
FOUR AND FIVE FUNCTIONALITY.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN
IMPLEMENTED IS WORKING THE WAY
IT NEEDS TO BE WORKING AND THAT
THE WORKLOAD -- IS IT IS AT A
LEVEL THAT THE STAFF CAN KEEP UP
WITH IT.
AND DO OF RICHARD GILL AND
RIDICULOUS AND DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE.
AND THE DEPARTMENT CHIEF
OPERATING OFFICER BUT ALSO MY
DAY JOB ON THE FISCAL PROJECT
SPONSOR.
TAKEN ON THAT ROLE ABOUT SIX
MONTHS AGO -- SO SINCE I RETURN
TO FINANCE AND AND STEPPED INTO
THE ROLE PROJECT SPONSOR --
WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD AS
A STEERING COMMITTEE AND AS A
PROJECT IN AS AS AS THE
GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE BRING THE FINAL
STAGES THIS PROJECT ACROSS THE
FINISH LINE.
AND DO THAT SUCCESSFULLY -- IT'S
NO SECRET SOMEWHERE DEPARTMENTS
ARE STRUGGLING WITH THINGS LIKE
MONTH IN CLOSE YEAR AND CLOSE --
SOME OF THOSE ARE AS AS RESULT
OF DESIGN DECISIONS THAT WERE.
TO THE VERGE OF MOVING PASS BUT
WE WE HAVE THIS LAST HURDLE
BEFORE SO AS MISTER ENGINEER
SAID THERE'S A STEERING
COMMITTEE MEETING TOMORROW OR
THE PARTNERS WILL DISCUSS --
PERHAPS A CHANGE IN STRATEGY ON
THE FINAL ROLL OUT OF THE
CONTROLLERS FUNCTIONALITY -- AND
ASSUMING THAT HAPPENS -- IT'S
LIKELY THE ADMINISTRATION WILL
BE BACK WITH THE PROPOSAL
BETWEEN NOW IN AMERICA'S AND THE
LAYOUT.
UP BRIAN METZGER LA -- FIRST WE
HAVE NO CONCERNS WITH THE
PROPOSED TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE --
BUT WE DO CONTINUE TO HAVE
CONCERNS -- WITH THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT --
SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS INCLUDE
THE CONTINUED ON BOARDING OF
DEPARTMENTS THAT WERE PART OF
THE JULY TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN
RELEASE.
AND THEIR CONTINUED USE OF
LEGACY SYSTEMS AND THE POTENTIAL
DELAYS -- IN COMPLETING THEIR
YEAR END FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
LIKE A COMPANY THAT -- WE REMAIN
CONCERNED THAT THERE ARE NUMBER
DEPARTMENTS IF IT HAVE BEEN
DEFERRED OUTSIDE OF THE PROJECT
SCOPE -- AND THAT THE COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH BRINGING THOSE
DEPARTMENTS ONLINE -- WILL NOT
BE CAPTURED IN THE TOTAL PROJECT
COST CURRENTLY.
WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT
ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR DEPARTMENTS
THAT ARE ALREADY TRANSACTING
FISCALE -- RELATED TO ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES ARE FUNDING THAT ARE
BEING REQUESTED THROUGH THE TWO
THOUSAND NINETEEN TWENTY BUDGET --
WERE AWARE OF SIX BCP'S WHERE
THAT IS OCCURRING.
AND WE REMAIN CONCERNED ABOUT
DEPARTMENTS FACING CHALLENGES
CLOSING THEIR MONTH END AND YEAR
END FINANCIAL STATEMENTS --
LOOKING IN NUMBERS YEAR OVER
YEAR -- THERE ARE CONCERNS
AROUND YOU KNOW THE THE THE
PERCENTAGE THAT ARE ABLE TO
CLOSE AT LEAST THE FIRST MONTH --
OF THE TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN
NINETEEN FISCAL YEAR.
AND SO TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE
ARE CONTINUE DELAYS AND AND
AGAIN THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE QUITE A BIT
LARGER IN THIS LATEST RELEASE --
THAT COULD AFFECT THE TIMELINESS
OR QUALITY OF THE STATE'S ANNUAL
FINANCIAL REPORT -- WE ARE AWARE
THAT THERE ARE CHANGES FOURTH
COMING IN THE PROJECT BASS LINE
AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THAT PROCESS GOING FORWARD.
SO I'VE BEEN PRETTY QUIET IN
THIS COMMITTEE MEETING BUT I AM
GONNA PIPE UP AT THIS POINT --
AND I KNOW I CAN TELL FROM THE
PANEL THAT -- IS NOT OF YOUR
PARTICULAR EXCITED TO BE HERE ON
THIS TOPIC. FOR MEMBERS THE
PUBLIC IF I CAN I THINK THIS
PROJECT WAS DESCRIBED JUST A FEW
MINUTES GOES A DYNAMIC PRODUCT.
PROJECT AND I THINK IT
REPRESENTS ONE OF THE BIGGEST
FAILURES.
IN STATE GOVERNMENT IT'S AN
EMBARRASSMENT TO STATE
GOVERNMENT IT'S BEEN A DISASTER.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A PROJECT
THAT STARTED IN TWO THOUSAND
FIVE IT IS NOW.
200-014- A PROJECT THAT HAS HAD
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
OF OVER ON LATEST TAB IS NINE
HUNDRED EIGHTEEN MILLION DOLLARS.
AND NOW WHAT WE'RE HEARING THIS
AT THEIR CONTINUED DELAYS -- I'D
LIKE TO SECTION THE
REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE
COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE IF YOU
COULD ARTICULATE.
I'VE UNDERSTAND THERE'S A LETTER
SENT THE LEGISLATURE I DON'T
HAVE IN FRONT OF ME THAT.
HAS ADDITIONAL CONCERNS THAT
THIS SYSTEM COULD CAUSE DELAYS
IN THE REPORTING OF ACTOR FISCAL
STATEMENTS FOR THE STATE'S
KAFFIR.
WHICH COULD I UNDERSTAND
POTENTIALLY IMPACT OUR STATE'S
CREDIT RATING.
COULD YOU ELABORATE ON THAT AND
I'D LIKE TO HEAR A RESPONSE FROM
THE PROJECT.
THERE COULD BE A VARIETY OF
REASONS WHY THE STATE'S KAFFIR
COULD BE DELAYED -- THEY COULD
BE SYSTEM ISSUES THE COULD BE
WORKLOAD ISSUES WHEN YOU SAY
COULD BE SIR I'M SORRY WHAT
WHAT'S THE ANSWER.
YOU JUST DON'T ACTUALLY EVEN
KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS.
WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY ASSEMBLY
MEMBER IS THAT THE KAFIR CAN BE
DELAYED AND OR HAVE ISSUES FOR A
VARIETY OF REASONS?
OUR AND STATE AUDITOR CAN
PROBABLY EXPLAIN WHAT THOSE
REASONS ARE.
THE THE CAPPER WHICH IS THE
STATE'S AUDITED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS CAN BE DELAYED
BECAUSE OF COMPLEXITY IS HAVING
TO WHAT WHAT WHAT WE HAVE TO DO
THAT PARTICULAR HERE.
IT COULD BE DELAYED BECAUSE OF
THE WORKLOAD ISSUES WHETHER IT'S
FISCALE -- WORKLOAD ISSUES.
OR OTHER ISSUES WITH IN OTHER
SYSTEM SO THERE'S A THE CARD THE
CAPPER IS A COMPLEX ANIMAL THE
KAFFIR PROJECT PLAN EVERY YEAR
HAS OVER NINE HUNDRED
DELIVERABLES. FOR US TO BE ABLE
TO COMPLETE IT.
AND HAVE THE STATE AUDITOR ISSUE
AN OPINION.
SO THERE ARE A VARIETY OF ISSUES
AND EVERY YEAR IT'S SOMETHING
DIFFERENT IT'S NEVER THE SAME
THING TWICE THE CONTROLLERS
CONCERN THIS YEAR WAS SOME OF
THE ISSUES WE WERE HAVING WITH
THIS GAL.
AND NOT NECESSARILY -- TECHNICAL
ISSUES BUT WORKLOAD ISSUES THAT
WE WERE HAVING WITH THIS GAL MAY
CAUSE A DELAY IN THIS YEAR'S AND
OR NEXT YEAR'S KAFFIR.
AND ALSO AS THE LA -- MENTION
BECAUSE SOME OF THE DEPARTMENTS
ARE HAVING TROUBLE CLOSING THEIR
BOOKS AND PROVIDING THE
FINANCIAL INFORMATION THAT IS
WHAT THE CONTROLLERS CONCERNED
ABOUT AND HER LETTER WAS.
PRIMARILY DESIGNED OR INTENDED
TO JUST GET THAT WORD OUT THERE
THAT SHE HAS THAT CONCERN THAT
WE FOCUS ON THE ENHANCEMENTS TO
THE SYSTEM THAT WILL HELP
WORKLOAD ISSUES.
BOTH AT THE DEPARTMENT LEVEL AND
SCO LEVEL IN ORDER TO GET THINGS
RESOLVED AND GET THE KAFFIR AND
OF THE OTHER FINANCIAL --
PRODUCTS THAT WE NEED TO PUT OUT.
ON TIME THAT'S WHAT THE LETTER
WAS INTENDED TO DO THE
CONTROLLER HAS FULL SUPPORT IS
FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE PROJECT
HAS FULL CONFIDENCE IN THE
PROJECT WILL SUCCEED -- THE
PROJECT WILL PROVIDE
EFFICIENCIES BUT IT'S A BELL
SHAPED CURVE RIGHT IT'S GOES UP
IT UP HERE FOR AWHILE THEN IT
WILL EVENTUALLY WILL GO BACK
DOWN.
BUT IT HAS TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
THE TOOLS THAT WE NEED NOT ONLY
FOR THE DEPARTMENTS BUT ALSO FOR
THE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE --
CONTROL FUNCTIONALITY TO WORK.
IF I COULD ASK FOR RESPONSE FROM
THE PROJECT LET ME SAY I I A I
HAVE A LOT OF FAITH IN OUR
CONTROL -- AND I A BELIEVER
ASSESSMENT THAT -- THERE ARE
CONTINUE NEEDS. FOR NEEDS FOR
DELAY BUT GIVEN THE HISTORY OF
THIS PROJECT GIVEN THE FACT THAT
SOMEONE BORN IN.
TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN WHO'S NOW
IN HIGH SCHOOL WOULD EXPERIENCE
AN AWFUL LOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES
OF TECHNOLOGIES OVER THE PAST
FOURTEEN YEARS.
MANY OF US HAVE JUST NO FAITH
THAT THIS PROGRAM IS EVER GOING
TO COME TO COMPLETION SO -- TELL
US WHY WE SHOULD HAVE SOME FAITH.
SO THE PROJECT STARTED IN TWO
THOUSAND AND FIVE AS JUST THE
BUDGETARY REPLACEMENT SYSTEMS
THAT WAS OUR FIRST INTRODUCTION
TO THIS PROJECT.
AND THAT COST ESTIMATE WAS AT A
HUNDRED AND FORTY MILLION
DOLLARS JUST TO REPLACE THE FOUR
MAIN FRAMES.
AT THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE.
BY TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN IT WAS
EVIDENT THAT THERE WERE A NUMBER
OF OTHER SYSTEMS STATEWIDE THAT
NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
SO IN TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN THE
STATE COMPTROLLER THE STATE
TREASURER'S OFFICE THE
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES
PROCUREMENT DIVISION.
AS WELL AS THE GOVERNOR'S -- THE
ORIGINAL SCOPE OF THE BUDGET
BEING SYSTEM REPLACEMENT WERE
COMBINED INTO WHAT IS THE
FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR
CALIFORNIA FISCAL.
THAT ESTIMATED THAT TIMES OF THE
SCOPE SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED AND
THAT INITIAL -- ESTIMATE WAS AT
ONE POINT SIX BILLION DOLLARS.
OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW
YEARS AS WE HAVE BEEN
IMPLEMENTING THIS PROJECT BOTH
THE SCOPE AS WELL AS THE
SCHEDULE HAS SHIFTED.
BASED ON THE NEEDS ARE THE
CURRENT NEEDS OF THE DEPARTMENTS
AND WHERE THE CONTROL AGENCIES
AS WELL AS IN ONE CASE WE
CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY.
THE WAY WE ON BOARD DEPARTMENTS
WE WENT FROM THE IDEA IT WHEN WE
WERE ONE POINT SIX BILLION
DOLLARS TO HAVE.
PEOPLE IN EVERY SINGLE
DEPARTMENTS TO HELP WITH THIS
TRANSITION TO A TRAIN THE
TRAINER MODEL WHICH IS WHAT WE
ULTIMATELY IMPLEMENTED.
THAT IN SOME PART WAS DUE TO THE
FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA AT THAT TIME.
SO.
THAT IS THE HISTORY OF OF THE
DOLLARS AND THE SCOPE HAS
CHANGED HAS BEEN ADDED
SUBTRACTED WE'VE ADDED
REPLACEMENT FUNCTIONALITY -- FOR
THE BACK OFFICE AT THE
DEPARTMENT GENERAL SERVICES
WHICH WAS OUT OF SCOPE AND IS
NOW IN SCOPE AND WE DEPLOYED
THAT SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF
THINGS THAT.
HAVE BEEN DONE THE PROJECT IS
TREMENDOUSLY SUCCESSFUL.
IN THAT A HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO
DEPARTMENTS ARE UTILIZING IT --
FOR THEIR ACCOUNTING ALL STATE
DEPARTMENTS ARE UTILIZING FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT
OF TE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET.
THE LAST THREE YEARS WE HAVE --
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET HAS BEEN
INTRODUCED UTILIZING THE FISCAL
SYSTEM.
AND THE MAN SINCE TWENTY SIXTEEN
WE HAVE PRETTY EIGHT BEEN ABLE
TO PRODUCE A WEEK THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE HAS BEEN ABLE TO
PRODUCE.
THE ENACTED BUDGET WITH THE SAME
LEVEL OF DETAIL THAT THE
INTRODUCED BUDGET IS WHICH IS
MUCH MORE BENEFICIAL TO THE
LEGISLATURE TO THE PUBLIC AS A
MINISTRY.
IF I MAY COULD YOU JUST RESPOND
TO THE ISSUES OF RACE IN THE
CONTROLLERS LETTER BECAUSE AGAIN
I THINK.
WHAT I THOUGHT I WAS RESPONDING
TO THE WHOLE FAILURE PIECE TO
START THAT'S HELPFUL I I THINK
WHAT THE PUBLIC CONTINUES TO
HEAR?
MORE DELAYS MORE BUREAUCRACIES.
WHEN IT COMES TO WHY THIS IS THE
CASE?
I HAVE BEEN ON THIS COMMITTEE IN
THE BUDGET COMMITTEE NOW THIS IS
MY MY FIFTH YEAR AND EVERY YEAR
I SAY I THINK YOU KNOW I KEEP
ASKING THESE QUESTIONS AND I AM
TEMPTED NOT TO VOTE.
FOR ANYTHING ELSE TO CONTINUE
THIS PROGRAM BUT I KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS AND WE'RE SURE
EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
THAT THINGS ARE ON TRACK AND
THEN WE GET YET ANOTHER LETTER
SAYING.
THAT A KEY PARTNER IN THE
FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OF OUR
STATE.
DOES NOT HAVE FULL FAITH AND
CONFIDENCE YET THAT THE SYSTEM
IS READY TO GO.
SO AGAIN AS SAID THE
COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE DID STATE.
THAT WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM TO
PRIORITIZE WHATEVER ENHANCEMENTS
WILL HELP ASSIST THE DEPARTMENTS.
WE ARE WRECKED WE RECOGNIZE THAT
THE DEPARTMENTS DO CONTINUE TO
STRUGGLE.
AND WE ARE RE PRIORITIZING AND
REDIRECTING SOME OF THE EXISTING
CONTRACT DOLLARS FROM.
WORKING ON SOME OF THE FUTURE
FUNCTIONALITY THAT THEY ARE
TALKING ABOUT WHICH WE ARE
DELAYING TO ASSIST THE
DEPARTMENTS -- WITH THEIR MONTH
ENDING YEAR AND CLOSE THERE IS
KEY ENHANCEMENTS THAT WILL BE
DEPLOYED IN HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED
IN THE RECENT WEEKS.
WE CONTINUE TO WE'VE IMPLEMENTED
OVER TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY
ENHANCEMENTS SINCE THE BEGINNING
OF THIS YEAR. TO THE SYSTEM SO
IT IS A CONSTANT DYNAMICALLY
CHANGING SYSTEM TO MEET THE
NEEDS AT ANY GIVEN TIME.
OF A HUNDRED FIFTY TWO
DEPARTMENTS EIGHTEEN THOUSAND
AND USERS AND FOR CONTROL
AGENCIES THAT ARE BOTH
CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY
RESPONSIBILITIES.
SO THE COMPLEXITY OF THIS
PROJECT CANNOT BE OVERSTATED AND
I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ON A PATH.
TO GET THIS VERY I MEAN THAT WE
ARE LESS THAN TWO HUNDRED
REQUIREMENTS AT A FORTY FIVE
HUNDRED OR FORTY TWO HUNDRED
PLUS.
REQUIREMENTS IN THE SYSTEM WHEN
WE SET OUT THEY'VE BEEN DEPLOYED.
AS WELL AS THE ENHANCEMENTS TO
THE SYSTEM WE WILL CONTINUE TO
PARTNER WITH THE COMPTROLLER'S
OFFICE OF MY OTHER PARTNERS TO
MAKE SURE THAT A QUALITY PRODUCT
IS PUT OUT ON THE STREET AND
THAT.
WE DO NOT HAVE -- ISSUES WITH
INTEGRITY OR QUALITY OF THAT YOU
KNOW COULD HAPPEN IF WE RUSHED
TO DEPLOYMENT BEFORE THE THE
SYSTEM IS FULLY TESTED AND THIS
DISTORTS REMAINING FUNCTIONALITY.
IS ACCEPTED BY THE STATE
COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE SO THE
COMMITTEE REPORT SAYS THE
CONTROLS FUNCTIONALITY WAS
DELAYED REPEATEDLY AND IS STILL
YEARS AWAY FROM BEING REALIZED.
IT'S HARD TO BE SYMPATHETIC TO
THE CALLS FOR YET ANOTHER DELAY
USING THE SAME ARGUMENTS OF
IMPENDING DOOM THAT BEEN USEFUL
LAST FIVE YEARS WHAT'S THE
WHAT'S THE DATE THAT WE WOULD
EXPECT THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD
BE FINALIZED.
IF I GET ASKED TO THE
COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE.
GIVE ANY SENSE.
AS FAR AS THE SCHEDULE GOES NOW
WE'RE LOOKING AT JULY OF TWENTY
TWENTY FOR THE FINAL TWO
MILESTONES TO BE RELEASED.
WHICH ARE MILESTONE FOREIGN
MILESTONE FIVE I BELIEVE -- AND
THAT WOULD BE THE LAST TWO
PIECES OF FUNCTIONALITY THAT
WOULD GO LIVE AT THAT POINT.
OUR OUR OFFICE WOULD NEED TO
PRODUCE A KAFFIR.
ARTIFICE GAL.
THE FOR THE FOR THAT FISCAL YEAR --
SO IT TO TO BE ABLE TO SEE IF
THE WORK PROPERLY TO PRODUCE THE
KAFFIR WOULD TAKE ANOTHER
ANOTHER YEARRIGHT IT WOULD BE.
THE FOLLOWING FISCAL YEAR BUT
THE FUNCTIONALITY WILL ALL BE IN
PLACE BY JULY OF TWENTY TWENTY
HAS THIS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE
ATTENTION OF THE NEW GOVERNOR.
A FEW DISCUSSES WITH HIS TEAM.
WE HAVE BRIEFED ADMINISTRATION
ON THE STATUS OF THE PROJECT YES
AND ARE THEY WHAT WHAT IS THEIR
PERSPECTIVE ON THIS -- AS I SAID
IN MY EARLIER COMMENTS -- SO
MINISTER COMMITTEE TAKES AN
ACTION THAT WE EXPECT TO TAKE --
TOMORROW -- YOU SHOULD EXPECTED
MINISTRATION WILL SUBMIT A
REVISED PROPOSAL BETWEEN NOW AND
THE MAY REVISION FOR ADDITIONAL
BUDGET EXPENDITURES TO PUSH THIS
PROJECT ACROSS THE FINISH LINE
HOW MUCH WHAT'S YOUR GUESS.
NOT GONNA GET OUT IN FRONT OF
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET PROPOSAL
OKAY.
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE I'M
OBVIOUSLY GOING TO ONE OF WILL
KNOW A LOT OF INFORMATION BEFORE
I AM READY TO VOTE FOR THAT.
AND I THINK MANY OF OUR
COLLEAGUES WILL LIKELY FEEL THE
SAME JUST A GUESS ABSOLUTE.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS.
ANY PUBLIC COMMENT [inaudible]
OKAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND GIVE.
WHAT'S THE CURRENT.
WHEN I GO NOW TO ISSUE
?
TWELVE THIS ITEM I THINK IS A
LITTLE LESS CONTROVERSIAL.
IF WE COULD GO TO THE
COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE FOR YOUR
PRESENTATION.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS
JENNIFER URBAN AND I'M THE CHIEF
OF BUDGETS AND CONTRACTS AT THE
STATE COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE.
THAT'S HE WAS REQUESTING
PERMANENT RESOURCES TO CONTINUE
PERFORMING AUDITS OF HOLDERS TO
ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE
CALIFORNIA UNCLAIMED PROPERTY
LAW WHICH RESULT IN INCREASED
UNCLAIMED PROPERTY TO BE
REUNITED WITH ITS RIGHTFUL OWNER.
IN TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN
SEVENTEEN S. HERE RECEIVE SIX
PERMANENT POSITIONS AND ELEVEN
THREE YEAR LIMITED TERM
POSITIONS TO PERFORM AUDITS OF
NON COMPLIANT HOLDERS. ELEVEN
LIMITED TERM POSITIONS IF NOT
APPROVED THROUGH THIS REQUEST
WILL EXPIRE ON JUNE THIRTIETH OF
THIS YEAR.
SINCE FOURTEEN FIFTEEN THE SCO
HAS BEEN APPROVED CONTINUATION
OF THE SAME RESOURCES ON A
LIMITED TERM BASIS.
THROUGH THESE AUDITS SCO HAS
IDENTIFIED AN ANNUAL AVERAGE OF
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS AND
REPORTABLE PROPERTY OVER THE
LAST FIVE YEARS.
IN THE SAME TIME HERE THE
AVERAGE COMPLIANCE RATE IS ABOUT
2%.
THIS WORKLOAD IS ONGOING AND
APPROPRIATELY SUPPORTED WITH
PERMANENT RESOURCES TO ENSURE
HOLDERS CONTINUE TO REPORT AND
REMIT UNCLAIMED PROPERTY. TO SCO
FOR THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF
RETURNING TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNER.
THE RESOURCES WILL ALSO ASSIST
HOLDERS AND CREATING UNCLAIMED
PROPERTY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
FOR IDENTIFYING AND REPORTING
UNCLAIMED PROPERTY IN SUBSEQUENT
YEARS.
WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
WHEN WE GOT OUT TO TO BERMAN
FINANCE?
AIR COVER DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE --
THE PROPOSAL IN THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET SUPPORTS THE CONTROLLERS
ONGOING EFFORTS FOR ITS
ADDRESSING HOLDER COMPLIANCE --
AND WE HAVE NO ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS AT THIS TIME.
HELLO.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH
THE PROPOSAL IN FRONT OF YOU --
BUT WE DID TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF
A BROADER PERSPECTIVE IN A
REPORT RECENTLY LOOKING AT SOME
OTHER WAYS TO INCREASE HOLDER
COMPLIANCE IN THE PROGRAM.
GIVEN THE SORT OF VAST UNDER
COMPLIANCE RATE OF 2% YOU KNOW
AUDITS ONE IMPORTANT DETERMINANT
DETERRENT -- CAN'T WITH YOU KNOW
A COUPLE DOZEN ON IT'S A YEAR
AND ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO
ADDRESS THE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF CALIFORNIA
BUSINESSES THAT ARE OUT OF
COMPLIANCE.
SO THAT REPORT INTRODUCED TO
DIFFERENT POLICY OPTIONS FOR
RESPONDING TO THIS LOW
COMPLIANCE RATE.
THE FIRST WOULD BE TO REQUIRE
HOLDERS TO REPORT TO FTP IN
THEIR ANNUAL TAX FILINGS JUST
INFORMATIONAL QUESTION ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT THEY SUBMITTED A
REPORT TO THE TO THE
COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE IN THE
PREVIOUS YEAR.
THIS WOULD HELP BRING MORE
AWARENESS TO THE PROGRAM AND
THEN THE SECOND WOULD BE TO
PROVIDE A TEMPORARY AMNESTY
PERIOD FOR THOSE HOLDERS THAT
HAVE BEEN NON COMPLIANT IN THE
PAST. TO OFFER THEM A TEMPORARY
PERIOD TO COME FORWARD -- TO
REPORT PASSED YOU UNCLAIMED
PROPERTY AND TO YOU DON'T HAVE A
TEMPORARY -- AMNESTY FROM THE
12% ANNUAL INTEREST PENALTY
THAT'S ASSOCIATED WITH FAILURE
TO COMPLY -- OBVIOUSLY THE MAJOR
GOAL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WOULD
BE TO REUNITE MORE PEOPLE WITH
THEIR PROPERTY -- BUT THIS WOULD
ALSO HAVE A GENERAL FUND BENEFIT
PERHAPS IN THE HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
AND ARE THERE ANY MEMBERS OF
PUBLIC WISH TO COMMENT ON THIS
ITEM.
SO WE ARE GOING TO HOLD THIS
ITEM OPEN.
APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION -- I
HAVE BEEN ASKED BY MISTER
NAZARIAN WHO HAS HAD RUN OUT TO
PRESENT ANOTHER BILL TO HOLD.
ISSUE THIRTEEN UNTIL HE'S BACK
SO WE WILL DISCUSS THE ARTS
COUNCIL -- LIKELY IN A FEW
MINUTES IF WE GAVE BILL NOW TO
ISSUE -- FOURTEEN THE CAL ABLE
PROGRAM CALIFORNIA ACHIEVING A
BETTER LIFE EXPERIENCE
.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS DANTE
ALLEN I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OF THE CALIFORNIA A BLACKBOARD --
WE ARE HERE TODAY -- WITH A
PROPOSED GENERAL FUND LOAN OF
ONE MILLION SEVENTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS TO CONTINUE AND ARE
IMPLEMENTATION AND OPERATION OF
THE CALIFORNIA ACHIEVING A
BETTER LIFE EXPERIENCE PROGRAM
WHICH IS.
A SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PROGRAM
THAT OFFERS -- TAX ADVANTAGE
OPTIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES -- IN A WAY THAT
DOES NOT -- HARMER INTERFERE
THEIR QUALIFICATION -- FOR
GOVERNMENT FUNDED BENEFITS.
LET'S MOVE TO DEPART IN FINANCE.
DOMINIC AIR DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE WE HAVE NO CONCERNS.
BELLY UP NO GOOD SENSE -- I
THINK CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT
WE WANT TO SEE THRIVE IN THIS
STATE LET ME ASK THE MEMBERS OF
THE PUBLIC WISH TO COMMENT ON
THE SIDE OF ALSO.
GIVEN THAT I CAN MAKE A MOTION
BY MYSELF -- WHEN WE HAVE ENOUGH
OF A QUORUM WE WILL ASK FOR THIS
TO BE APPROVED AS BUDGETED AND
APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION?
IF I COULD ADD -- WE OPENED OUR
DOORS IN DECEMBER OF TWENTY
EIGHTEEN SINCE THAT TIME WE'VE.
ACHIEVED A ROBUST ENROLLMENT WE
HAVE ABOUT AS OF YESTERDAY NINE
HUNDRED AND THIRTY ACCOUNTS THAT
HAVE BEEN OPENED -- WITH JUST
OVER THREE POINT ONE MILLION
DOLLARS IN ASSETS UNDER
MANAGEMENT THAT'S FANTASTIC I
THINK WANNA SEE THAT CONTINUE TO
GROW.
THANK YOU THANKS TO WORK.
WHEN WE MOVE NOW TO GOVERNMENT
OPERATIONS AGENCY MOVING TO
ISSUE?
FIFTEEN OFFICE OF DIGITAL
INNOVATION.
WHAT'S THAT BUT IT.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN.
I WOULD SAY MEMBERS BEFORE A
LITTLE SHORT.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
BE HERE TO GO AHEAD DEPARTMENT
FINANCE AGAIN -- I'M HERE TO
TALK ABOUT A A MORE.
POSITIVE TECHNOLOGY TOPIC THAN
THAT THE AGENDA YOU HEARD
EARLIER IN REGARDS.
TO A LARGE IT PROJECT
[inaudible]
I'M.
THE GOVERNMENT'S FOR TOO LONG
HAVE NEGLECTED TO THINK ABOUT
THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE WHEN
DELIVERING GOVERNMENT SERVICES
AND FUNCTIONS WHETHER IN PERSON
THROUGH THE MAIL OR EVEN ONLINE.
AS WE BROUGHT TECHNOLOGY IN OUR
WORK WITH LARGELY FOCUSED ON
AUTOMATING EXISTING PROCESSES
AND WORK FLOWS BASED ON HOW WE
THINK THINGS SHOULD WORK FAR TOO
OFTEN WE FAIL TO ASK THE PEOPLE
WE SERVE.
HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO ACCESS
GOVERNMENT SERVICES WHAT'S
HELPFUL TO THEM?
WHAT THEY THINK OF THIS AND AND
WHAT DO THEY THINK THE SERVICES
WE DO PROVIDE?
OUR TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS --
HISTORICALLY BEEN.
LARGELY ONE OFF ONE DEPARTMENT
ONE SOLUTION APPROACH IS THAT
ONLY HAPPEN AFTER INDIVIDUAL
DEPARTMENTS COME FORWARD. TO
SOLVE A DEPARTMENTAL NEED AND
WHILE THIS APPROACH IS
ACCEPTABLE IN THE EIGHTIES AND
NINETIES A PERHAPS IN THE TWO
THOUSANDS -- IT'S NO LONGER
VIABLE APPROACH TO MEETING THE
PUBLIC'S EXPECTATIONS.
A RECENT EXPERIENCES SHINED A
SPOTLIGHT ON THIS PROBLEM.
I DON'T THINK I NEED TO REMIND
THE COMMITTEE WHEN I'M TALKING
ABOUT THERE -- TECHNOLOGIES
RELENTLESS ADVANCE HAS RADICALLY
CHANGED A LOT OUR LIVES IN THE
SOCIETY WE LIVE IN FROM HOW AND
WHERE WE GET INFORMATION.
CONDUCTOR FINANCIAL AFFAIRS SHOP
ACCESS ENTERTAINMENT HOW WE
INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER THE
WORLD IS A VERY DIFFERENT PLACE
TODAY THAN IT WAS JUST A DECADE
AGO.
IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR COMPANIES
COMPETE FOR THE CUSTOMER'S
ATTENTION AND BUSINESS BY THE
LIVING WORLD CLASS USER
EXPERIENCES THEY FOCUS ON THE
CUSTOMER AND SO SHOULD WE SO
THIS PROPOSAL IT'S ABOUT
CHANGING CULTURE.
IT'S ABOUT VALUING INNOVATION.
IT'S ABOUT INVESTING IN OUR
WORKFORCE IT'S ABOUT DELIVERING
GOVERNMENT SERVICES IN A WAY
THAT IS ACCESSIBLE MEANINGFUL
AND INTUITIVE TO THE PUBLIC WE
SERVE.
IT'S ABOUT IMPROVING CIVIC
ENGAGEMENT AND IT'S NOT ABOUT
BIG I. T. AND BIG PROJECTS IT'S
ABOUT INNOVATION AND THAT'S A
CLEAR DISTINCTION I WANT ME
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
TECHNOLOGY HERE AS MUCH AS WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT INNOVATION AND
SERVICE DELIVERY TO THE PEOPLE
WE SERVE.
THIS PROPOSAL -- IS DIFFERENT
CONCEPTS SUBSTANCE AND EXECUTIVE
SUPPORT THAN ANYTHING WE'VE DONE
IN THE SPACE BEFORE.
AN EXECUTIVE SPONSORSHIP STARTS
AT THE TOP OF THE GOVERNOR
HIMSELF THIS GOVERNOR LITERALLY
STUDY THIS AREA AND WROTE A BOOK
ABOUT IT -- THIS PROPOSAL IS
GENERALLY BASED ON SUCCESSFUL
MODELS ORIGINATING IN THE UNITED
KINGDOM WITH THE GOVERNMENT
DIGITAL SERVICES -- HERE AT HOME
WITH US DIGITAL SERVICES AND
EIGHTEEN F. AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL
ANOTHER DIGITAL SERVICE
OPERATIONS OF VARIOUS LEVELS OF
GOVERNMENT AROUND THE WORLD.
MOST FOLLOW A SIMILAR WELL
ESTABLISHED PLAYBOOK.
OUR GOALS FOR THIS OFFICER TO
ESTABLISH A CULTURE OF
INNOVATION SOMETHING IT'S VERY
HARD TO DO IN GOVERNMENT --
DRIVE A CUSTOMER CENTRIC MINDSET
OR OTHERWISE KNOWN AS HUMAN
CENTERED DESIGN THAT REALLY
MEANS THINK ABOUT THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE GONNA USE OUR SERVICES
WHEN YOU DESIGN YOUR SERVICES.
BUT TO SOFTEN THEIR ISSUES ASK
THEM.
WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON BUSINESS
PROCESS IMPROVEMENT SOMETHING
THE STATUS STRUGGLED ON
HISTORICALLY WE'RE GONNA
UTILIZED AGILE AND OTHER OPEN
APPROACH AS TO HOW WE BUY AND
BUILD THINGS WE'RE GONNA DO
PROTOTYPES BUILD.
TEST ITERATE GET FEEDBACK TESTED
RATE AGAIN SO ON IT'S ABOUT
TRANSPARENCY AND OPEN DATA.
IT'S ABOUT COLLABORATION
SHAREABLE AND REUSABLE SOLUTIONS
AND KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER. TO THAT
END -- THE ADMINISTRATION IS
REQUESTING INITIAL START UP
RESOURCES OF THIRTY SIX POINT
POINT SEVEN THAT'S GENERAL FUND.
FOR TWO POINT SIX MILLION
ONGOING NINE POINT SIX THAT'S
GENERAL FUND AND ABOUT FIFTY
POSITIONS TO ESTABLISH THE
OFFICER DIGITAL INNOVATION
WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS
AGENCY.
THE OFFICE AS PROPOSED WILL HAVE
AUTHORITY TO DEVELOP AND ENFORCE
REQUIREMENTS FOR DEPARTMENTS TO
ASSESS THEIR SERVICE DELIVERY
METHODS AND MODELS AND
UNDERLYING BUSINESS PROCESSES
FROM A CUSTOMER OR END USER
PERSPECTIVE IN THESE AUTHORITIES
ARE.
DEFINED IN THE CORRESPONDING
TRAILER BILL.
THE KEY PIECES OF THIS PROPOSAL
ONE IS BEYOND THE OFFICE ITSELF
IS THE IS THE CREATION OF
INNOVATION ACADEMY.
AND IN OUR VIEW SUSTAINABLE
INNOVATION REQUIRES A CULTURE OF
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT IT'S A
MINDSET IS NOT JUST WORDS THAT
THAT WE HAVE TO DRIVE THAT
CULTURE CHANGE.
AND THOUGHT AND A THOUGHTFUL
APPROACH TO HUMAN CHANGE
MANAGEMENT AS I MENTIONED
EARLIER THESE ARE TWO AREAS THAT
THE THERE BEEN A PARTICULAR
CHALLENGE FOR GOVERNMENT GENERAL
AND CALIFORNIA'S NO EXCEPTION.
THE OFFICE WILL ADDRESS THESE
NEEDS TO THE CREATION OF A
SCALABLE INNOVATION ACADEMY
FOCUSED ON CONTINUOUS PROCESS
IMPROVEMENT HUMAN CHANGE
MANAGEMENT EXECUTIVE SPONSORSHIP.
AND A CUSTOMER CENTRIC MINDSET.
IN THIS ACADEMY WE ENVISION WILL
BE MANDATORY FOR ALL STATE
SUPERVISORS MANAGERS AND
EXECUTIVES -- WE ALSO INTEND
INVESTED THIS'LL TRAINING IN OUR
I. T. WORK FORCE.
IN AREAS OF AGILE AND OTHER
MODERN DEVELOPMENT PLATFORMS AND
TOOLS IS THIS OFFICE DEVELOPS
INTO FINDS TOOLS IN A PATH
FORWARD FOR DIGITAL STRATEGY FOR
CALIFORNIA.
WE WANT TO TAKE THAT KNOWLEDGE
AND PUSH IT OUT TO OUR STATE IT
WORKFORCE AND INVEST IN THEM SO
THEY BRING THOSE SKILLS AND THAT
VISION TO THEIR DEPARTMENTS AS
WELL.
AND THEN FINALLY.
A KEY PIECE OF THIS PROPOSALS
INNOVATION FUND.
A PROPOSED INCLUDES FUNDING FOR
ONE TIME FUNDING OF TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS TO ALLOW THE
OFFICE TO ASSIST OTHER
DEPARTMENTS WITH THE TOOLS AND
RESOURCES NECESSARY TO ADDRESS
PRIORITIZE NEEDS.
THIS IS INTENDED TO ALLOW THE
OFFICE MOVED QUICKLY TO ADDRESS
ISSUES AND PROVIDE SOLUTIONS IN
REAL TIME AND THIS IS A
SIGNIFICANT AND IMPORTANT CHANGE
FROM THE EXISTING BUDGET AND I.
T..
PROJECT APPROVAL PROCESS SEES
WHICH ADD YEARS TO TIME LINES
SOMETHING WE DISCUSSED EARLIER.
THEY TEND TO LEAD TO LARGE
PROJECT PROPOSALS.
AND ARE CORRESPONDINGLY RISKY
AND COSTLY LARGE SYSTEM
IMPLEMENTATIONS.
WE FULLY KNOWLEDGE THAT
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
FOR ALL THESE FUNDS ARE YOU LIES
WILL BE A CRITICAL TO THE
SUCCESS OF THE OFFICE.
AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING
WITH THE LEGISLATURE TO ADDRESS
THE CONCERNS AND I HAVE IN THAT
AREA.
FINALLY WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THERE
WAS SOME APPARENT OVERLAP WITH
THE PARTNER TECHNOLOGIES
EXISTING OFFICE ADDITIONAL
INNOVATION WHICH IS BEING
RENAMED TO AVOID ANY CONFUSION
GOING FORWARD HOWEVER AT THIS
POINT.
WE'RE NOT THINK THERE'S A
SIGNIFICANT -- DUPLICATION
RATHER WE SEE THE OFFICE AND SEE
TIAS HAVING COMPLEMENTARY ROLES --
AND WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO TAKE
ANY QUESTIONS THE COMMITTEE MAY
HAVE ONLY THANK YOU FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION OF THIS PROPOSAL.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION
AND LET ME -- SEE IF I CAN JUST
START AND SET THE TONE THAT I
WANT TO ABOUT THIS FIRST OF ALL
I AM.
VERY APPRECIATIVE THAT GOVERNOR
NEWSOME IS MOVING FORWARD WITH
THIS -- AND JUST FOR THE PUBLIC
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT HERE LET ME JUST READ FROM
SOME OF THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS.
SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTING HIS
OFFICE WILL BE AN AMAZING
CHALLENGES CHALLENGE THAT WILL
REQUIRE INCREDIBLE LEADERSHIP
FROM THE NEW ADMINISTRATION.
SIMILAR APPROACHES HAVE BEEN
TRIED BEFORE LEFT THE STATE WITH
COSTS THE LEGACIES OF FELL
PROJECTS YEARS ADRIFT IN A
CULTURE THAT A SPURNED
INVESTMENT IN TECHNOLOGY.
I. T. PROJECTS FAIL IN
SACRAMENTO BECAUSE OF A LACK OF
OWNERSHIP GOVERNANCE WERE
TRAINING.
IN ONE PUBLICATION WAS ESTIMATED
60% OF ALL IT PROJECTS FAIL AND
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST AND
I THINK IT WAS -- APPROPRIATE
THAT WE HAD THE ITEM AROUND
FISCAL JUST A FEW ITEMS AGO
BECAUSE THAT.
TELLS YOU WHAT YOU'RE UP AGAINST.
IN MY PERSPECTIVE IS -- THE
VISION IS FANTASTIC AND THE
DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS RIGHT AND
THERE DON'T SEEM TO BE A LOT OF
DETAILS ON HOW THIS IS GONNA BE
CARRIED OUT SO MY QUESTIONS
REALLY.
ARE JUST TRYING TO DRILL DOWN A
LITTLE BIT ON QUESTIONS ARE
RAISED IN THE COMMITTEE AND ALSO
SOME QUESTIONS THAT WE ALL HAVE --
THIS IS FOCUSED ON REALLY AN
AGILE.
APPROACH AN AGILE PROCUREMENT
APPROACH -- BUT OBVIOUSLY OUR
STATE HASN'T REALLY HAD THAT
SKILL SET OR THAT EXPERTISE AND
WONDERING HOW YOU PLAN TO BRING
THAT IN QUICKLY -- I THINK
RELATED TO THAT -- THEIR
CONCERNS ABOUT HOW WE GROW THIS
PROJECT OVER TIME AND WONDER IF
YOU CAN JUST GIVE US A SENSE OF
WHAT YOUR EXPECTATIONS ARE
AROUND HELD BASS THIS OFFICE MY
GROW -- AND THEN CLEARLY WE ALSO
KNOW THAT -- STATE WORKERS AND
BY AND BY THE STATE
BUREAUCRACIES WILL BE CRITICAL
TO MAKING THIS HAPPEN AND
THERE'S ALWAYS BEEN A
SIGNIFICANT TENSION WITH OUTSIDE
TECH VENDORS WERE POINTED THE
FINGER AT STATE BUREAUCRATS WILL
POINT FINGERS BACK AT TECHNOLOGY
WORKERS.
CAN YOU GIVE US A SENSE OF HOW
YOU PLAN TO MANAGE.
THE PAST TENSIONS AND AND MOVE
IT INTO MORE POSITIVE FUTURE
SURE FOR FIRST LET ME START BY
BY -- RESTATING THIS IS NOT
ABOUT TECHNOLOGY THIS IS NOT
ABOUT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
PROJECTS THIS IS ABOUT SERVICE
DELIVERY MUCH OF WHAT'S GOING TO
IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE
DIGITAL SPACE THAT'S WHERE
SOCIETY IS TODAY.
SO SO DON'T THINK OF THIS IN
TERMS OF BUYING OR BUILDING BIG
STATE IT PROJECTS IT'S ABOUT
FOCUSING ON SERVICE DELIVERY HOW
WE DELIVER SERVICES TO CUSTOMERS
WHERE THE PAIN POINTS FOR THE
PEOPLE TO HAVE TO DO BUSINESS
WITH THE GOVERNMENT HOW TO MAKE
LIFE EASIER FOR THEM HOW.
CAN WE MAKE THE PROCESS MORE
INTUITIVE EASIER UBIQUITOUS TO A
JUST LIKE THEIR LIVES ARE TODAY
WITH MOBILE PHONES AND COMPUTERS
AND AND PORTABLE DEVICES THEY
THERE THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO
LIMIT ON YOUR PERSONAL LIFE AND
HOW YOU INTERACT WITH.
BUSINESSES AND YOUR FRIENDS AND
FAMILY AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
EXCEPT THAT WHEN YOU GET TO THE
STATE LEVEL THE THE STATE FORCES
YOU INTO NINETEEN SIXTIES AND
SEVENTIES BUSINESS PROCESSES.
MANY OF WHICH HAVE BEEN
AUTOMATED AND PUT ON A WEB AND
THEY'RE NOT VERY INTUITIVE THEY
DON'T HAVE FULL FUNCTIONALITY
THEY DON'T PROVIDE INFORMATION
THEY DON'T HAVE OPEN DATA.
THAT THERE'S A THERE'S A LOT A
LOT OF BAD OUT THERE AND LOT OF
PROBLEMS ARE TRYING TO SOLVE.
AND BUT THIS IS ABOUT A TARGETED
EFFORT TO TO FOCUS ON THE
DELIVERY OF GOVERNMENT SERVICES
TO THE PEOPLE WE SERVE AND THIS
MODEL HAS BEEN DONE SUCCESSFULLY
AROUND THE GLOBE SO WE'RE NOT
INVENTING SOMETHING NEW HERE WE
ARE IN FACT TAKING.
A GOVERNMENT LED MODEL THAT --
WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL IN EUROPE
HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL UNITED STATES HAS
BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL IN OTHER PLACES AND WE'RE
SIMPLY SAYING.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT WEEK WE GET
BEAT UP WHEN THINGS GO BAD WE WE
RIGHTFULLY ARE TAKING OUR LUMPS
OVER WHAT'S HAPPENING AT DMB.
AND AND AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
FIX THAT THIS IS A MORE SYSTEMIC
APPROACH TO FIXING THOSE THINGS
PROACTIVELY AS OPPOSED TO FIXING
REACTIVE WE WANT SOMETHING BLOWS
UP.
SO I I WOULD I WOULD I WOULD ASK
THAT WE LOOK AT THIS THROUGH THE
LENS OF SERVICE DELIVERY AND NOT
LINK IT NECESSARILY TO OUR
HISTORY WITH BIG IT PROJECTS
BECAUSE NOTHING WHAT WE'RE DOING
HERE IS ABOUT THE GUY TO
PROSECUTE YOU GIVE.
ANY EXAMPLES OF WHAT YOUR VISION.
WHAT ON WHAT LIKE IN WHAT
CONTEXT?
ANY CONTEXT WHAT WHAT WHAT ARE
YOU GONNA TACKLE FILM SO SO
WE'VE WE'VE IDENTIFIED A COUPLE
OF OF PRELIMINARY TARGET
OPPORTUNITY.
PARCHMENTS DEPARTMENT MOTOR
VEHICLES BEING.
ONE WHERE -- IT'S RIGHT FOR AN
ENTIRE REVISIT OF HOW THEY HOW
THEY SERVE THE PUBLIC AND WE'VE
LOOKED AT AND WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THE BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
IN THE LICENSING FUNCTIONS THAT
THE PARTNER CONSUMER AFFAIRS
WHICH HAS BEEN A CONSTANT
STRUGGLE -- AS THEIR STARTING
POINTS BUT WE'RE ALSO ALONG WITH
THIS IS IS THE THE BUILDING OF
THE BIT ACADEMY IN DELIVERING
THE TRAINING TO HELP DRIVE THE
CULTURAL CHANGE THE DRIVE THAT
MINDSET CHANGE.
AND THEN WITH THE INNOVATION
FUND AND THE DEPARTMENT THE
OFFICE BEING ABLE TO GO OUT AND
LEAD DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS ON A
PARTY BASIS FOR DEPARTMENTS
MAYBE IT'S BUILDING A NEW APP
MAYBE IT'S REDESIGNING -- THE
WAY YOU REGISTER OR RENEW YOUR
VEHICLE REGISTRATION -- AND
BRINGING THAT TO BRING THAT TO
BEAR TO THE PUBLIC AS A NEW
INNOVATIVE SERVICE AND THEN THE
THINGS WE'VE LEARNED ALONG THE
WAY DOING THAT WE WILL THEN HAND
OFF TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS WHO
HAVE SIMILAR BUSINESS PROCESS
NEEDS. TO TO TAKE IT TO SCALE
AND APPLIED ACROSS EXECUTIVE
BRANCH COULD YOU GIVE US SOME
EXAMPLES OF WHERE THIS IS WORK
ELSEWHERE AND I YOU ALLUDED TO
THEM BUT YEAH IN IT THAT'S
WORKED IN GREAT BRITAIN -- THEY
HAVE THERE'S THERE'S A TON OF
MATERIAL OUT THERE ABOUT THE
SUCCESSES -- THE PROJECTS
THEY'VE DONE AND HOW VALUABLE
SPEND AND THEY STARTED.
IN ENGLAND WITH -- ALL THEIR
VARIOUS WEB DOMAINS IT WAS IT
WAS A A MISMATCH ACROSS THE YOU
KNOW THE UNITED KINGDOM AND
THERE'S HUNDRED IF I GOT MY
WEBSITES THEY THEY WERE ABLE TO
BRING ALL THAT INTO A SINGLE
PLATFORM.
AND A SINGLE PORTAL FOR THE
CITIZENS OF THE U. K. TO ACCESS
GOVERNMENT SERVICES AND
FUNCTIONS.
AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL IN THE
UNITED STATES -- US DENTAL
SERVICES DID SOMETHING THAT WE
NEED TO LOOK TO IN CALIFORNIA
AND THEY DID -- LOG IN DOT GOV
WHICH IS A SORT OF US.
IDENTITY MANAGEMENT FEATURE FOR
US CITIZENS ACCESSING CERTAIN
GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS IN A BILL
DIDN'T HAVE NOW EXTENDED THAT
SAME FUNCTIONALITY THAT CITY
BUILT IN SUCH A WAY THAT THEY
CAN EASILY LINK IT TO OTHER
DEPARTMENTS TO HAVE SOMEWHERE
IDENTITY MANAGEMENT IS A NEVER
ROLLED OUT ACROSS A NUMBER OF
AGENCIES.
AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL AND THERE'S
THERE THERE'S THERE'S A TON OF
OF INFORMATION OUT THERE ABOUT
THE GOOD WORK BEING DONE IN THE
SPACE AROUND THE WORLD.
AND GIVEN YOU YOU YOU POINTED TO
TWO DEPARTMENTS THAT HAVE
HISTORICALLY ABSOLUTELY OBJECT
WE FAILED AT THINK ABOUT THE USE
OF IT DMV AND THE PARTY CONSUMER
SERVICES.
DCA WHAT'S WHAT'S THE THINKING
ON WHAT YOU WOULD DO NEXT GIVEN
THE YEARS OF CHALLENGES.
IN ALTON SENSES FIRST IT'S
STARTING WITH THAT.
SHIP THEM PERSPECTIVE AND THAT
IS A CUSTOMER.
FOCUSED.
BUSINESS PROCESS DELIVERY SO
THINK ABOUT ALL THE LINES OF
BUSINESS YOU DO.
AND WHO HAS TO INTERACT WITH YOU
AND AND HOW THEY CAN INTERACT
WITH YOU.
AND SO A DMV IT'S IT'S RIGHT FOR
REINVENTION.
YOU KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IN
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET OF COURSE
THE GOVERNOR'S ASSIGNED US A
STRIKE TEAM TO GO IN THERE AND
AND ISSUE SOME PRELIMINARY.
INFORMATION ON THAT WE ALSO HAVE
AN AUDIT -- AND A TECHNOLOGY
REVIEW HAPPENING AT THE SAME
TIME ALL OF THOSE THINGS COULD
BE USED TO INFORM ON A PRIORITY
BASIS.
WHERE THE BEST VALUE IS AS FAR
AS MEETING CUSTOMER EXPECTATIONS
AND AND WHAT?
BUSINESS PROCESS AND SERVICE
DELIVERY FOCUS ON FIRST AT THE
DMV.
AND ANOTHER LOT OF FOLKS HERE
FOR OTHER ITEMS SO -- ONE AND I
SUGGEST I BE I'D LIKE TO LEARN A
LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU
GUYS ARE THINKING PARTICULAR
LOVE TO SEE EXAMPLES THAT YOU'RE
CONSIDERING FROM OTHER PLACES
AND WHAT YOU MIGHT.
DO TO BRING IT HERE BOTH OF
THOSE DEPARTMENTS ARE ONES THAT
I THINK ARE -- ACUTELY -- OF
INTEREST FOR MANY OF US IN THE
LEGISLATURE.
IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY WEEK -- OUR
OFFICE GETS A COMPLAINT FROM YET
ANOTHER CONSTITUENT WHOSE BODY
THEIR HEAD UP.
INVOLVING ANOTHER BUREAU UNDER
THE CA A AND THEN THE DMV IS
JUST AN ON GOING -- SET OF
CHALLENGES ABSOLUTELY WE WE HEAR
IT TOO WE WE HEAR IT ALMOST
EVERY DAY AND HAPPY TO TO WORK
WITH YOU IN YOUR OFFICE AND AND
THE COMMITTEE STAFF -- AND
PROVIDE ANY DEATHS AND ALL
INFORMATION YOU WOULD LIKE AS WE
GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS ONE
FINAL QUESTION WHEN DO YOU
EXPECT THE DMV TO ACCEPT CREDIT
CARDS -- MORE TO COME -- COME ON
GIVE US SOME HOPE.
THE PART OF FINANCE -- I'M SORRY.
YEAH I JUST WANT TO MENTION WE
DID PUBLISH A BUDGET AND POLICY
POSTS ON THIS ISSUE AND RAISE
SOME ISSUES FOR LEGISLATIVE
CONSIDERATION I WON'T GO THROUGH
ALL OF THEM -- BUT JUST WANNA
KINDA CATEGORIZE THEM FOR YOU --
SO THE FIRST OF THOSE BEING KIND
OF THE LEGISLATURE'S ROLE
RELATIVE TO THIS NEW OFFICE --
PARTICULARLY AROUND THE CRITERIA
THAT IS USED TO SELECT THE
RELATIVE ENGAGEMENTS THAT ARE
GOING TO BE -- PROPOSED FOR THE
OFFICE OF DIGITAL INNOVATION AND
KIND OF SETTING LEGISLATIVE
PRIORITIES FOR THOSE -- AS WELL
AS THE CONSIDERATION APPROVAL IN
OVERSIGHT OF THOSE PROJECTS --
THAT ARE GOING TO BE FUNDED WITH
THIS TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS IN
ONE TIME FUNDING -- THE SECOND
OF WHICH IS AGAIN THIS ISSUE
AROUND DUPLICATION OF EFFORT
ACROSS CDT AND THE OFFICE OF
DIGITAL INNOVATION AND TO THE
EXTENT THAT THERE ARE CITY STAFF.
OR BUDGETARY RESOURCES THAT ARE
DUPLICATIVE -- IT'S OUR
UNDERSTANDING THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION INTENDS TO LEAVE
THOSE RESOURCES WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF TECHNOLOGY -- TO
THE EXTENT THAT'S HAPPENING TO
BE IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHETHER --
THAT WILL BE THE CASE AND
WHETHER OR NOT IT COULD
POTENTIALLY BE REVERTED BACK TO
THE STATE -- AND FINALLY AS YOU
MENTIONED KIND OF THE ISSUE
AROUND ONGOING FUNDING OF
POSITIONS FOR THE OFFICE --
PARTICULARLY OUTLINING THE
TIMELINE FOR HIRING FOLKS -- AND
BRINGING THEM ON BOARD TO KIND
OF STUFF THE OFFICE SO WITH THAT
I'LL LEAVE IT THERE.
AND LET ME ASK THEIR MEMBERS THE
PUBLIC THE WISH TO COMMENT. ONE
FINAL QUESTION I'M ASSUMING YOUR
HOPE IS TO BRING BEST AND
BRIGHTEST FROM.
INNOVATIVE TECH SECTORS INTO
GOVERNMENTS -- GIVE US A SENSE
OF HOW THOSE INDIVIDUALS WILL BE
INTERACTING WITH.
RANK AND FILE FOLKS WHO HAVE FOR
DECADES BEEN DOING THINGS
DIFFERENTLY AND HOW YOU.
SEE THAT CHANGING OF THE CULTURE.
SO WHAT WHEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THESE MODELS THEY THAT -- HAVE
BEEN DEPLOYED SUCCESSFULLY OTHER
PLACES THAT THEY THEY THEY BRING
SORT OF A BLENDED APPROACH THEY
BRING TECHNICAL EXPERTS IN FROM
OUTSIDE PEOPLE WANT TO COME DO A
STINT IN PUBLIC SERVICE THAT
WANTED SPEND A YEAR TO WORKING
ON YOU KNOW SOMETHING FOR THE
GREATER PUBLIC GOOD.
THEY CAN COME FROM THE OUTSIDE
THEY CAN ALSO COME FROM WITHIN
GOVERNMENT AND SO WE WE HAVE AN
I. T. WORK FORCE OF AROUND
ELEVEN THOUSAND I. T. EMPLOYEES
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
THAT'S SORT OF FULL TIME
EQUIVALENTS WE HAVE TENS OF
THOUSANDS ON OUR HIRING
ELIGIBILITY LIST SO WE HAVE WE
HAVE A DEPTH OF IN HOUSE TALENT
AS WELL -- AND SO WE SEE IT AS A
BLEND PEOPLE COMING IN
AUGMENTING OUR IN HOUSE DON'T
BRING FRESH PERSPECTIVES WORKING
A PROJECT TO TO AND ROLLING BACK
OUT -- AS WELL AS IS WE DO
PROJECTS WITH DEPARTMENTS
THERE'S GOING TO BE A NATURAL A
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE STAFF AT
THE DEPARTMENT OF THIS GOING TO
TRANSFER KNOWLEDGE IT HAPPENS IN
REAL TIME AS WE'RE DOING THIS
PROJECTS WITH APARTMENTS.
AS I SAID AT THE TOP OF ABIG
PIECES ABOUT INVESTING IN OUR
WORK FORCE AND THAT AND THEIR
SKILLS AND TOOLS THEY HAVE.
GREAT WELL -- YOU HAVE A LOT OF
WORKING FOR ANY -- OBVIOUSLY
VERY VERY INTERESTED IN SEEING
HOW IT APPLIES -- I'VE HAD.
QUITE A NUMBER OF CONVERSATIONS
WITH.
THEN LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR NOW
GOVERNOR NEWSOME ON THIS VERY
TOPIC AND AND LOOK FORWARD TO
HEARING.
UPDATES ON YOUR HOPEFUL
SUCCESSES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU.
WHEN WE MOVE TO THE NEXT ITEM?
TWO ITEMS RELATED TO THE CENSUS
STICK UP ISSUE SIXTEEN TWENTY
TWENTY CENSUS OUTREACH
.
DO THIS FOR YOU AND KID HOW ARE
YOU.
PLACE YOU CAN.
GOOD AFTERNOON -- CHAIRMAN AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS -- THANK YOU
FOR INVITING ME 2% ON THE SET
THE TWENTY TWENTY OUTREACH
EFFORTS I'M DOES COULD TALKING
AND I'M THE DIRECTOR OF THE
CALIFORNIA COMPLETE COUNT. TO
TWENTY TWENTY OFFICE.
THE JANUARY BUDGET PROPOSAL
INCLUDED FIFTY FOUR MILLION
DOLLAR ALLOCATION TO AUGMENT
ACTIVITIES BY THE CENSUS OFFICE
TO FURTHER ENHANCE THE EFFORTS
CURRENTLY UNDER WAY TO ENSURE A
FULL AND COMPLETE COUNT OF THE
ENTIRE STATE'S POPULATION.
THE MAJORITY OF THIS FUNDING
WILL BE DEDICATED TO OUR
OUTREACH EFFORTS THE FOCUS ON
THE HARDEST ACCOUNT.
OR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN
HISTORICALLY UNDER COUNTED IN
THE CENSUS.
APPROXIMATELY FIFTY MILLION
WOULD BE PROVIDED TO AUGMENT
OUTREACH EFFORTS BY COMMUNITY
BASED ORGANIZATIONS HELLO WELL
AS THE OUTREACH AND PUBLIC
RELATIONS CAMPAIGN CONTRACTORS.
SPECIFICALLY OUR REGIONAL
ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE BASED
ORGANIZATIONS.
WOULD RECEIVE SUPPORT FOR THE
NON RESPONSE FOLLOW UP PERIOD
WHICH BEGINS APRIL TWENTY TWENTY
AND CONTINUES THROUGH LATE JULY
OF TWENTY TWENTY THE ORIGINAL
ALLOCATION WAS TWENTY TWO POINT
NINE FIVE MILLION.
AND THAT WOULD BE AUGMENTED BY
TEN MILLION TO REACH COMMUNITIES
THAT HAVE A LOW RESPONSE RATE.
TOWARD THE END OF THE
ENUMERATION PERIOD.
STATEWIDE CBO'S WILL HAVE AN
ADDITIONAL WARD OPPORTUNITIES
FOR WARTS TO FILL THE GAPS AND
BE RESPONSIVE TO AREAS THAT NEED
FURTHER OUT REACH.
THE CURRENT BUDGET FOR THE
STATEWIDE CBO'S INCLUDED FOUR
POINT ZERO FIVE MILLION THAT
WILL BE AUGMENTED BY
APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER SIX
MILLION OR FIVE POINT NINE FIVE
MILLION. FOR FURTHER TARGETED
OUTREACH TO THOSE HARD TO COUNT
DEMOGRAPHIC POPULATIONS.
IN ADDITION THE OUTREACH AND
PUBLIC RELATIONS OR MEDIA
CAMPAIGN WILL BE AUGMENTED BY
THIRTY MILLION TO ACHIEVE A
STATE WIDE AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
THAT IS MULTI LINGUAL CULTURALLY
APPROPRIATE AND ENGAGES LOCAL
ETHNIC MEDIA TO BUILD OUR BASE
OF TRUSTED MESSENGERS.
IN SOME THIS BRINGS THE TOTAL
OUT REACH FUNDING BETWEEN THE
CURRENT AND NEXT FISCAL YEAR TWO
ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY POINT
THREE MILLION DOLLAR STATEWIDE.
IN ADDITION TO THE FIFTY MILLION
FOR OUTREACH THE CALIFORNIA
HOUSING AND POPULATION SAMPLE
ENUMERATION IS ALSO INCLUDED IN
THIS PROPOSED BUDGET ITEM.
IT PROPOSED TO SUPPORT WE CALL
THE CALIFORNIA HOUSING AND
POPULATION SAMPLE ENUMERATION I
CALL IT GYPSY FOR SUPPORT
BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF FOR SHORT
IT'S KIND OF A MOUTH FULL.
WHICH IS THE STUDY BEING CREATED
BY CONDUCTED BY THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCES DEMOGRAPHIC RESEARCH
UNIT.
THE STUDY WILL PROVIDE SEVERAL
IMPORTANT DATA SETS FOLLOWING
THE TWENTY TWENTY CENSUS.
THIS INCLUDES HELPING TO
IDENTIFY HOW SUCCESSFUL WE WERE
IN ACHIEVING A FULL AND COMPLETE
COUNT.
WHAT BARRIERS EXISTED THAT
BLOCKED OUT REACH FOR BEING
SUCCESSFUL?
AND HOW CAN WE BEST PREPARE FOR
THE TWENTY THIRTY CENSUS.
THIS LAST POINT IS IMPORTANT
BECAUSE THE CENSUS OFFICE IS
WORKING DILIGENTLY NOT ONLY TO
ACHIEVE A SUCCESSFUL CENSUS
COUNT.
FOR TWENTY TWENTY WE'RE ALSO
WORKING TO ESTABLISH A WELL
DOCUMENTED REPEATABLE OPERATION
AND STRATEGY THAT WILL SERVE THE
STATE AGAIN FOR THE TWENTY
THIRTY CENSUS.
THIS WILL SAVE TIME AND
RESOURCES FOR ONE PREPARATION
FOR THE NEXT CYCLE BEGINS.
WITH THAT WE ARE AVAILABLE TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
OF MASTER BERMAN FINANCE.
THANK YOU IMAGE I'M WITH
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE I JUST
WANNA SAY THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION RECOGNIZES THE
CRITICAL IMPORTANCE OF AN
ACCURATE AND COMPLETE CENSUS
COUNT FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS.
AND FOR THIS REASON THE BUDGET
INCLUDES ADDITIONAL FUNDING --
FOR STATEWIDE OUTREACH EFFORTS
RELATED TO INCREASING THAT PART
PARTICIPATION RATE.
I HOPEWE DON'T HAVE ANY
CONCERNS AT THE PROPOSAL AND WE
WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT THAT'S
CONSISTENT WITH PAST --
LEGISLATIVE ACTION IN THIS AREA.
BEFORE WE GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT
L. JUST TO STAY MY PERSPECTIVE
WHICH IS -- FIRST WANT TO THANK
THOSE OF YOU WHO IN WORKING WITH
AND STATE GOVERNMENT UNDER
GOVERNOR BROWN ON THE CENSUS AND
I KNOW LAST YEAR I AND OTHERS
PUSH FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING WHEN
IT CAME TO THE CENSUS -- I HAVE
ALWAYS BEEN OF THE PERSPECTIVE
THAT WE ARE STILL WOEFULLY SHORT
WHEN IT COMES TO TO OUT REACH --
OFTENTIMES THOSE OF US WHO ARE
ELECTED OFFICE.
GENERAL THERE'S MANY MANY MANY
TIMES THIS TO REACH OUT TO OUR
CONSTITUENTS JUST EDUCATE THEM
ON ONE ELECTION.
AND HERE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT --
SOMETHING THAT IS OF A OF A
MAGNITUDE OF WHAT'S AT STAKE SO
MUCH GREATER THAN ANY INDIVIDUAL
ACTION AND SO.
I CERTAINLY SUPPORT I KNOW A
CALL FOR MORE FUNDING AROUND OUT
REGIONAL JUST MENTION THAT WHEN
I WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE SAN
FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
WORKING WITH THEN MAYOR GAVIN
NEWSOM -- WE INVESTED
SIGNIFICANT SAN FRANCISCO
DOLLARS INTO HOW TO HARD TO
REACH POPULATIONS INVESTING
SPECIFICALLY AN OUT REACH.
AND WE WERE THE ONE MAJOR COUNTY
AS YOU KNOW THAT DID NOT SEE A
REAL DROP IN ARE HARD TO REACH --
POPULATIONS WHEN IT CAME TO THAT
CENSUS. TWENTY TEN AND SO IT'S
MY PERSPECTIVE WE WE NEED TO
DOUBLE DOWN -- BECAUSE WE KNOW
THAT EVERY DOLLAR WE INVEST
TODAY WILL MEAN LITERALLY MANY
MANY TIMES THAT AS FAR AS
FEDERAL FUNDING WE CAN RECEIVE
AND OTHER BENEFITS THE STATE
COULD RECEIVE.
RELATED TO CENSUS I ALSO
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL MEDIA
OUTREACH -- WHICH IS SOMETHING
THAT I WOULD ALSO SUPPORT GIVEN
THE DIVERSITY OF OUR STATE GIVEN
THE CHALLENGES OF COMMUNICATING
AND GIVEN THE SUCCESSES THAT WE
SAW WHEN IT CAME TO THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ACA.
AND MEDICAL EXPANSION I THINK
THAT WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE
CONVERSATION.
WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE A SPECIFIC
CONVERSATION TODAY ABOUT HOW
MUCH WE THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE.
TO INCREASE THE OUT REACH BUDGET
OR THE MEDIA OUTRAGE BUDGET BUT
SUFFICE IT TO SAY.
THIS IS AN AREA THAT I WOULD
SUPPORT AND JUST A TIE FOR
MEMBERS THE AUDIENCE WHO'VE BEEN
HERE LISTENING TO ITEMS AROUND
HOW MUCH WE SPENT ON IT.
IF WE TOOK A MERE FRACTION OF
WHAT WE WASTED IN I. T. O. FOR
MANY MANY YEARS AND DEVOTED IT
HERE.
OR IN OTHER AREAS WE WOULD BE
FAR BETTER OFF AS A STATE FAR
BETTER OFF PHYSICALLY -- AND I
THINK FOR STRONGER AS A AS A AS
AS A CALIFORNIA SO I APPRECIATE
THE PRESENTATION.
LET'S NOT OPEN IT UP FOR PUBLIC
COMMENT.
HI MY NAME IS ARE TO OCCUR MONA
AND I AM A REPRESENTATIVE OF IN
BUT A MEDIA THAT OWNS -- TO
PROPERTIES HERE IN.
CALIFORNIA LOW PIGNON AND LOOK
BEYOND IN THE BAY AREA -- FIRST
OF ALL WANNA REALLY THANK YOU

THINK THAT YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON THE
OUR REACH NEEDED -- FOR THIS
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT PROCESS
AROUND THE CENSUS IS
FUNDAMENTALLY IMPORTANT
PARTICULARLY AS IT RELATES TO
HOW TO CONNECT WITH OUR DIVERSE
COMMUNITIES IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITIES -- IN LANGUAGE
COMMUNITIES AND THERE'S NO
BETTER WAY THAN USING.
THE MEDIA PARTICULARLY ETHNIC
MEDIA UP AND DOWN THE STATE IN
RURAL URBAN -- DIFFERENT AREAS
AROUND THE STATE -- AND SO -- I
AM HERE REPRESENTING A NUMBER OF
COALITION PARTNERS INCLUDING
MEMBERS THAT ARE NOT HERE TO THE
MOON THOUGH -- IF THINK MEDIA
SERVICE A NUMBER OF OTHERS
REALLY ALL UNIFIED WITH A
MESSAGE THAT -- THIS ADDITIONAL
ALLOTMENT OF RESOURCES FOR OUR
REACH AROUND ETHNIC MEDIA
REACHES IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT --
AS YOU LOOK AT AN INDEPENDENT
STUDY COMMISSIONED BY -- COUPLE
PHILANTHROPIC ORGANIZATIONS IN
THE STATE-- WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THE THE OUTRAGE DONE BY THE?
AT THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT A
NUMBER OF OTHERS YOU REALLY ARE
LOOKING AROUND TWENTY DOLLARS --
PER PERSON WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
HEART TO COUNT POPULATION THAT
REALLY SUMS UP -- TO I NEEDED IT --
BASS LINE OUR REACH SOME ABOUT
FIFTY THREE MILLION I THINK THAT
THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE
GOVERNOR GETS US TO ABOUT FORTY
SIX MILLION VERY CLOSE. TO TO
WHAT WE NEED - SO WE REALLY
APPRECIATE THE LEADERSHIP OF
THIS COMMITTEE AND LOOKING AT
THIS ISSUE I KNOW THERE'S GONNA
BE SUBSEQUENT CONVERSATIONS WE
APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT I THINK
THE LOOKING AT THE MODEL OF THE
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT IS
FUNDAMENTAL.
BECAUSE IT SET A BASELINE OF
WHAT A GOOD AND EFFICIENT
OUTREACH PROGRAM CAN DO WHEN YOU
REALLY.
NOT ONLY DO TRADITIONAL ALL
REACH WITH -- COMMUNITY BASED
ORGANIZATIONS BUT ALSO ENGAGE
THE MEDIA'S PARTNERS AND AS AS
REAL PLAYERS IN THIS EFFORT SO
JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR

NECESSARY TO MAKE SURE THAT --
WHILE LANGUAGE MAY NOT BE THE
ISSUE -- DEFINITELY A LACK OF
FAITH IN THE SYSTEM IS PARTIALLY

FEDERAL POLICIES INCLUDING.
ANTI IMMIGRATION RHETORIC THAT

AS I WAS TELLING MY OWN MOTHER
ABOUT.
MY WORK ON THE CENSUS WHICH LET
SHE AN IMMIGRANT FROM MEXICO WHO
WAS PREVIOUSLY AT UNDOCUMENTED.
ADMITTED TO ME THAT SHE HAD A
FILLED OUT THE SENSES IN.
TWENTY TEN AND MY PARENTS HAVE

RECEIVED THIS FOR MAYBE ONCE OR
TWICE.
SHE HAD NO IDEA WHAT THIS FORM
WAS OR BY THE GOVERNMENT WAS
ASKING -- WHAT WAS ASKING FOR US

DIDN'T TRUST THE GOVERNMENT
ENOUGH TO FILL OUT THIS FORM.

CALIFORNIA AND URGE YOU TO
PROVIDE THE ADDITIONAL FUNDING
THAT'S NEEDED PARTICULARLY IN

SO THANK YOU AND TO THE

THANK YOU VERY MUCH THAT CLOSES

OF ENDING FURTHER BUDGET
DISCUSSIONS LET'S MOVE TO ITEM
SEVENTEEN AROUND LANGUAGE ACCESS
ISSUES HAVING TO DO WITH THE
TWENTY TWENTY CENSUS.
TURNED BACK.
TO THE COMPLETE CONSENSUS.
GOOD AFTERNOON TO THIS GUITAR G.
HERE.
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS I AM THE
DIRECTOR OF THE CALIFORNIA
COMPLETE COUNT SINCE THIS OFFICE
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK ON A CRITICAL COMPONENT.
OF OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS RELATED
TO LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATIONS
ACCESS.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN THE
HISTORY IN CALIFORNIA'S HISTORY
THE DOLLARS ARE EARMARKED FOR
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LANGUAGE
AND COMMUNICATION ACCESS
STRATEGY AND ASSOCIATED
STANDARDS.
AS OF TODAY NO OTHER STATE HAS
CREATED A STREAMLINED PROCESS TO
ADDRESS LANGUAGE AND
COMMUNICATION ACCESS.
HOWEVER WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT
THE LANGUAGE OF COMMUNICATION
THAT LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION
ACCESS IS AT THE VERY HEART AND
THE FRONT AND CENTER OF OUR
PRIORITIES IN OUR OUTREACH
CAMPAIGN.
IT IS EMBEDDED VIRTUALLY IN
EVERY FACET OF OUR OUTREACH
EFFORTS AND THIS INCLUDES OUT
REACH BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THAT
YOU HEARD FROM REGIONAL AND
STATEWIDE COMMITTEE BASS
ORGANIZATIONS THAT YOU ALSO
HEARD FROM.
AND THE PUBLIC RELATIONS MEDIA
CAMPAIGN.
THE CENSUS OFFICE IS CURRENTLY
DRAFTING A LANGUAGE AND
COMMUNICATIONS ACCESS STANDARD
DOCUMENT.
THE PURPOSE OF THESE STANDARDS
IS TO OUTLINE THE KEY LANGUAGE
INDUSTRY CONCEPTS COMPLIANCE
WITH PERTINENT LAWS AN OVER
ARCHING FRAMEWORK TO ENSURE
MESSAGING IS CULTURALLY RELEVANT.
AND TO GUARANTEE MEANINGFUL
COMMUNICATION.
UNFORTUNATELY THE U. S. CENSUS
BUREAU DID NOT PROVIDE
GUIDELINES FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE
IN LANGUAGE SERVICES TO LIMITED
ENGLISH PROFICIENT INDIVIDUALS
AND AS YOU KNOW OUR EFFORTS ARE
OUT REACH EFFORTS ARE IN SUPPORT.
OF THE ACTUAL ENUMERATION
OPERATIONS WHICH IS RUN BY THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
OUR LOW COST AS WHICH WE CALL
OUR LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION
ACCESS STANDARDS OUTLINED IN
DEFINES THE QUALITY OF LANGUAGE
ACCESS AND CULTURALLY
APPROPRIATE SERVICES.
THESE TERMS ARE SELDOM A DEFINED
WITHOUT CLEARS AND WITHOUT CLEAR
STANDARDS INSUFFICIENT LANGUAGE
SERVICES COULD MEAN HOUSEHOLDS
AND ENTIRE COMMUNITIES WILL BE
OVERLOOKED AND UNDER COUNTED.
IS THE GOAL OF THE CENSUS OFFICE
TO ESTABLISH A PROCESS OF
TRANSPARENCY IN AND CAL AND
ACCOUNTABILITY IN MITIGATING ALL
BARRIERS.
THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE
ESTABLISH MECHANISM OF OUR
OFFICE NEEDING TO REVIEW AND
APPROVE PLANS PRIOR TO
DISBURSEMENT OF ANY OF OUR STATE
FUNDS FOR IMPLEMENTATION TO OUR
PARTNERS.
OUR OFFICE WILL FOCUS MORE ON
LANGUAGE IS NOT ADDRESSED BY THE
US CENSUS BUREAU AS FAR AS
MATERIALS BUT OUT REACHED SHOULD
STILL BE DONE IN THE LANGUAGES
SPOKEN IN CALIFORNIA.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO RECEIVING
COMMENTS AND FEEDBACK FROM OUR
STAKEHOLDERS AS WE CONTINUE TO
ESTABLISH OUR LANGUAGE AND
COMMUNICATION ACCESS STANDARDS
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS MONTH.
WE'RE PLANNING TO HAVE THE NEXT
ITERATION OF THE LOW COST AT THE
END OF APRIL.
HOWEVER BASED ON THE EXTENT OF
FEEDBACK WE RECEIVED OR HORK HOW
COMPLEX IT IS WE WANT TO TAKE
THAT INTO CONSIDERATION FOR A
TIME LINE.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THEY SAY IT
TAKES ABOUT A VILLAGE BUT TO
REALLY GET A COMPLETE COUNT FOR
CALIFORNIA IT TAKES ALL VILLAGES
IN ALL COMMUNITIES.
SO WITH THAT YOUR AVAILABLE TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION
AND I KNOW YOU VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE.
HOW MUCH LANGUAGE AXIS -- COULD
LIKELY BE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT
BARRIER TO PARTICIPATION.
IN THE CENSUS -- AND I KNOW
THERE A LOT OF CONCERNS HAVE
BEEN RAISED CERTAINLY ABOUT --
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S
APPROACH FOR LACK OF APPROACH TO
THIS AND HOW IMPORTANT IS FOR
CALIFORNIA TO TO STEP UP SO -- I
FOR ONE ALONG WITH I THINK MANY
OF OUR COLLEAGUES WILL BE
WATCHING EAGERLY HOW -- THE
ADMINISTRATION CHOOSES TO MOVE
FORWARD ON THIS.
I'M GOING TO PUT ON MY HAT AS
THE CHAIR OF THE API LEGISLATIVE
CAUCUS AND REITERATE
SPECIFICALLY WITH REGARDS TO OUR
COMMUNITIES -- AS AS YOU KNOW
THERE'S A LOT OF DATA THAT SHOWS --
THAT THE ASIAN PACIFIC ISLANDER
DIVERSE COMMUNITIES THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT ARE LEAST LIKELY
TO BE FAMILIAR WITH THE CENSUS.
MOST LIKELY TO SAY THAT THEIR
ANSWERS TO THE SENSES WILL BE
USED AGAINST THEM.
MOST SKEPTICAL OF THE QUESTION
OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY BELIEVE
THAT CENSUS INFORMATION -- WILL
BENEFIT OUR COMMUNITIES AND
GENERALLY LEAST LIKELY TO
PARTICIPATING GIVEN THE LANGUAGE
DIVERSITY WITH THEIR I. P. I
COMMUNITIES -- I WOULD JUST SAY
I'M PARTICULARLY INTERESTED ON
BEHALF OF MANY OF OUR COLLEAGUES
AND KNOWING WHAT THAT IS GOING
TO LOOK LIKE.
I KNOW THAT THERE BEEN A NUMBER
OF PROPOSALS OPTICALLY COMING
FROM CHINESE FOR AFFIRMATIVE
ACTION THAT HAVE LAID OUT A
NUMBER OF SUGGESTIONS AND AND
AND HOW TO MOVE FORWARD AROUND.
HAVING THE STATE CREATE AN
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN THAT GOES
FARTHER THAN THE GUIDELINES THAT
HAVE BEEN PROVIDED SO FAR.
TRANSLATING ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES
OUTSIDE OF THE FEDERALLY
MANDATED ONES SPECIFYING WHAT
FUNDING COULD GO TO WHICH GROUPS
SPECIFYING.
DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND PRIORITY
LANGUAGES AND WORKING WITH CBO
IS TO FULFILL THOSE PRIORITIES --
AND AND THINKING ABOUT LANGUAGE
ACCESS AS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO
DO NOT SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY
OPTIONAL AND AGAIN I KNOW YOU
UNDERSTAND THIS AND KNOW THIS
BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS
PUBLICLY -- I THINK MANY OF US
ARE WE'RE VERY VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT WHAT MAY HAPPEN AND WE
ONLY HAVE ONE SHOT TO GET IT
RIGHT SO -- I WOULD JUST SAY ON
BEHALF OF MANY BEST PARTICULAR
BEHALF OF OUR ETHNIC CAUCUSES WE
WOULD LOVE -- IN THE NEXT COUPLE
WEEKS OF A BRIEFING ON WHERE
THIS IS GOING TO BE SO THAT BY
THE TIME THIS COMES BACK TO THIS
COMMITTEE.
WE HAVE A PLAN THAT WE ALL FEEL
GOOD ABOUT AND ARE READY TO TO
SUPPORT -- SO WITH THAT I WANT
TO ASK IF -- DEPARTMENT FINANCE
IF YOU ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE
TO SAY REALLY BRIEFLY AND THE
ADMINISTRATION UNDERSTANDS THE
IMPORTANCE OF ADDRESSING
LANGUAGE ACCESS ISSUES AND WE
LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE
COMMITTEE AND STAFF ON THIS IS.
FOR THE REST OF SPRING CAN I
SHOULD SAY OUR CAUCUS SAT DOWN
WITH -- THE NEW GOVERNOR AND AND
WE KNOW HE GETS IT AND WE'RE
REALLY LOOKING FOR WORKING IN
PARTNERSHIP TO TO MOVE THE SPORT
IN A GOOD WAY -- ELIA WE HAVE NO
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS RIGHT ME ASK
IF ANY COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY
COMMENTS ON THIS [inaudible]
IF NOT [inaudible]
OKAY.
LET'S OPEN IT UP TO PUBLIC
COMMENTS.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE I'M

COMMITTEE AND STAFF FOR
PRIORITIZING LANGUAGE ACCESS IN
THE STATE CENSUS OUTREACH
EFFORTS.
LAST YEAR THIS COMMITTEE.

LANGUAGE ACCESS PLAN BE PRODUCED
BY THE STATE CENSUS OFFICE.
WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A
LOOK AT THE PLAN AND THAT'S THE
CURRENT DRAFT PLAN IS MISSING A
LOT OF DETAILS. FOR THE CENSUS
POINT FOR CALIFORNIA CENSUS
EFFORTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
OUR STATE LANGUAGE ACCESS PLAN
MUST BE ROBUST WITH DETAILS IT
MUST IDENTIFY THE LANGUAGE GAPS
AND ARTICULATELY STATE HOW THOSE
GAPS WILL BE FILLED.
THE PLAN MUST ADDRESS THE UNIQUE.
LINGUISTIC COMMUNITIES OF
CALIFORNIA BOTH LARGE SMALL AND
SMALLER THE MOST IMPORTANTLY THE
PLAN MUST BE OPERATIONAL WITH
MEASURABLE -- OF DELIVERABLES SO
IN IN CLOSING WE WILL.
US ALONG WITH OTHER CIVIL RIGHTS
ORGANIZATION AND IMMIGRANT
RIGHTS ORGANIZATION HAVE
SUBMITTED WRITTEN.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE STATE
CENSUS OFFICE AND WE HOPE TO SEE
THESE RECOMMENDATIONS REFLECTED
IN THE NEXT ITERATION OF THE
PLAN THANK YOU.

HAVE BEEN CREATED BY THE FEDERAL
PLAN.
AND THAT REALLY TAKES INTO
ACCOUNT HOW IT'S GONNA REACH
SMALL LANGUAGES AND NON RIGHT
LANGUAGES THANK YOU.
HELLO AGAIN -- GO HERE WITH THE
SOUTHEAST ASIA RESOURCE ACTION
CENTER ALSO KNOWN AS C. RACK.
C. RACK IS THE ONLY NATIONAL AND
STATE WHY SOUTHEAST ASIAN CIVIL
RIGHTS ORGANIZATION THAT WORKS
WITH -- THOSE WHO ARE REFUGEE
COMMUNITIES FROM LAOS CAMBODIA
AND VIETNAM I WE WORK WITH
PARTNERS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO
ADDRESS PRESSING ISSUES LIKE
HEALTH EDUCATIONSENSES.
AND ALSO IMMIGRATION TODAY
THERE'S ABOUT ONE MILLION
SOUTHEAST ASIAN THAT RESIDES IN
CALIFORNIA DUE TO OUR
COMMUNITIES LOW EDUCATION
ATTAINMENT HIGH POVERTY RATES.
AND LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENT
PROFICIENCY WE ARE ONE OF THE
CALIFORNIA'S HARD TO COUNT
COMMUNITIES.
ALMOST 70% OF OUR COMMUNITIES
ARE LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENT --
AND SO REACHING OUR SMALLER
COMMUNITIES FOR CENSUS TWENTY
TWENTY MEANS HAVING A THOUGHTFUL
LANGUAGE ACCESS PLAN.
IN PLACE TO OUT REACHING
CRITICAL LINKAGES -- INCLUDING
CAMBODIAN LONG NOW AND YOU ME
AND BECAUSE SOUTHEAST ASIAN
COMMUNITIES ARE SMALLER OUR
NEEDS ARE OFTEN INVISIBLE TO
POLICY MAKERS.
SINCE THE DATA IS A PRIORITY FOR
OUR COMMUNITIES BECAUSE IT'S
REALLY THE ONLY NATIONAL DATA --
THAT THIS AGGREGATES ARE
SOUTHEAST ASIAN OR SOME OF THE
SOUTHEAST ASIAN AMERICAN DATA --
INCLUDING EDUCATION COMPLETION
POVERTY RATES AND HEALTH
INSURANCE -- SO TO ENSURE A FULL
FAIR AND ACCURATE CENSUS COUNT
FOR OUR COMMUNITIES WE REALLY
WANT -- TO WE HOPE THAT THIS
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AS WELL AS
ALLOWING US TO WORK WITH YOU TO
DEVELOP AN INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE
ACCESS PLAN.
ON THAT REALLY ADDRESSES THE
NEEDS FOR SMALLER LANGUAGE
GROUPS AND ALSO LANGUAGE GROUPS

MENTIONED -- DURING THE UP A
LITTLE EARLIER IN SOME OF THE

IMPORTANT IN ADDITION BECAUSE
CALIFORNIA HAS ONE OF THE
LARGEST REFUGEE COMMUNITIES.

ACCESS PLAN THAT CAN FILL THAT
GAP AT THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL.

GOOD AFTERNOON I'M DAMIEN BROWN
ARTIST IN RESIDENCE FOR MARINE
SHAKESPEARE COMPANY I AM A
PRODUCT OF THE INVESTMENT IN
ARTS IN CORRECTIONS.
I WAS PART OF MARIN SIX PER
COMPANIES PROGRAM.
AND I ENDED THAT PROGRAM WITH
MEN THAT I HAD KNOWN FOR MORE
THAN TWENTY YEARS WERE VERY
HARDENED.
GANG MEMBERS AND CRIMINALS NONE
OF US WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH
ONE ANOTHER WHEN WE INTO THAT
ROOM.
BUT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GOING
THROUGH PLAYS IN PRODUCTIONS IN
WORKING OUT THESE THINGS YOU HAD
MEN WHOSE.
SOCIAL CULTURE HAD TOLD THEM YOU
DO NOT GO TO DOCTORS
PSYCHOLOGISTS AND PSYCHIATRISTS
TO WORK OUT TO ISSUE.
BUT WE WERE ABLE TO WORK OUT
THOSE THINGS THROUGH CHARACTERS.
MAKE BETH WAS ACTUALLY TO PLAY
AND WE KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF BAD
THINGS HAPPENING THERE'S A SOME
OF THOSE THINGS REALLY AFFECTED
UP 290% OF THE PEOPLE IN THAT
ROOM.
SO THEY WERE ABLE TO REALLY WORK
ON THEIR INTERNAL ISSUES.
THROUGH THATPROGRAM.
AFTER WE DID THAT AND I CAME
HOME FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO
LAND A JOB AS AN ARTIST.
I AM NOW AND MOTOR WHAT WINNING
ARTISTS AND OF HAS BROUGHT THE
WAY FROM BLACK PANTHER.
SO I REALLY.
AND THE I NEVER WOULD HAVE THAT
OPPORTUNITY.
HAD NO ONE OFFERED THAT.
SO MY PERSONAL MOTTO COMING HOME
WAS TO DEPRIVE PRISONS OF THE
LIFE BLOOD DEFEATS THEM.
I MERELY WANT TO WORKING AS A
HIGH RISK CASE MANAGERS SAN
FRANCISCO SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
WITH -- COMMUNITY WORKS WEST.
AND IN DOING THAT WE HAD TO FIND
WAYS TO CREATE PLANS OF ACTION
FOR TRANSITIONAL AGE YOU.
WHO WERE VERY HIGH RISK GUN
CHARGES?
SHOOTINGS ALL OF THOSE THINGS SO
I FOUND IT VERY EASY TO HELP
THEM.
WHEN THEY WERE [inaudible]
ARTISTICALLY INCLINED.
I TOOK SOME OF THEIR WORK AND I
HAD IT PUT IN SAN FRANCISCO
PUBLIC LIBRARY.
SO THAT THEY COULD.
BE SEEN IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT
OTHER THAN THE ONE THAT THEY
HAVE COME TO EMBRACE.
BEING THAT I WAS IN THEATER I
WAS ABLE TO TAKE CERTAIN MUSIC
PIECES CERTAIN ART PIECES AND
UTILIZE THEM BETWEEN BREAKS.
IN THOSE THINGS AND HAVE THESE
YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN COME AND SEE
THOSE PRODUCTIONS AND SEE THERE
ART.
THE PEOPLE HAD PAID TO COME AND
WITNESS. TO ME I SAW THAT
CHANGED THE LANDSCAPE OF HOW NOT
ONLY HOW THEY SAW THIS SOCIETY
TO COMMUNITY BUT HOW THE
COMMUNITY STARTED TO SEE THEM.
AND THAT INCREASES ONE'S SELF
ESTEEM IN A WAY TO WERE BY THEIR
NOT LOOKING ANYMORE TO PREY UPON
SOCIETY.
BABY LONG TO THAT SOCIETY.
AS MUCH AS IT BELONGS TO THEM.
AND THAT CHILLS MARGINALIZATION.
SO I WOULD APPRECIATE.

BIT ABOUT THE PART OF THE LIFE
CYCLE PLANNING PROCESS.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR A LITTLE
BIT OF BACKGROUND ABOUT THAT
PROCESS OR WOULD YOU PREFER IF
YOU WANT TO KEEP IT VERY BRIEF I
ABSOLUTELY WILL VERY FREE HE
LIKES. TO TWO MINUTES ABSOLUTELY
GREAT -- THE THE PROJECT
APPROVAL LIFE CYCLE IS A IS A
PLANNING PROCESS FOR PROJECTS IT
WAS DEVELOPED IN TWO THOUSAND
AND SIXTEEN WITH THE GOAL TO
HELP DEPARTMENTS TO REALLY JUST
TO DO BETTER PLANNING -- IT
PLACES GREATER EMPHASIS ON
PLANNING QUALITY.
IT SEEKS TO REDUCE RISK.
AS DEPARTMENTS ARE PLANNING
THEIR PROJECTS AND IT PLACES A
LOT OF FOCUS ON THE DELIVERY OF
VALUE FOR PROJECTS. TO ESTABLISH
A SOLID FOUNDATION UPON WHICH
PROJECTS CAN BE EXECUTED SO THIS
IS REALLY ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT
YOU KNOW -- DEPARTMENTS ARE NOT
JUST CHECKING OFF BOXES WHEN
THEY'RE DOING PLANNING WITH A
PAPER PROCESS THAT THEY'RE
DEVOTING THEIR TIME TO HAVING A
GOOD PLAN SO THAT HAVE A GOOD
PROJECT DOT COM.
THANK YOU I APPRECIATE THAT VERY

QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE

FINANCE AND ALEJO.
SURE PRIME MINSTER LA ALL TRY TO
KEEP THIS SHORT -- SO THIS --
PROCESS WAS SOMETHING THAT WE
WROTE IT BUDGET AND POLICY POSTS
ABOUT RELATED TO THE ALIGNMENT
OF THIS PROCESS WITH THE BUDGET
PROCESS -- WE HIGHLIGHTED THAT
THE GOVERNOR'S TWO THOUSAND
NINETEEN TWENTY BUDGET INCLUDES
FUNDING REQUESTS FOR AT LEAST
THREE IT PROJECTS -- THAT HAVE
COMPLETED THE PAL PROCESS BUT
THAT THERE ARE SEVEN OTHERS --
THAT ARE REQUESTING FUNDING
THROUGH THE BUDGET THAT HAVE NOT
COMPLETED THE PROCESS AND IT'S
ABOUT A HUNDRED FIFTEEN MILLION
OVER THREE FISCAL YEARS -- WE DO
KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME DRIVERS
OF THIS MISALIGNMENT WHERE
PROJECTS ARE REQUESTING FUNDING
IN ADVANCE OF COMPLETING THE POP
PROCESS -- NOTABLY THE LENGTH
AND TIMING OF THIS PROCESS
LEGISLATIVELY MANDATED DEADLINES
AS WELL AS THE APPROACH O
IMPLEMENTING THE PROJECT SO --
THE AGILE APPROACH THAT WE'VE
BEEN DISCUSSING THROUGHOUT THE
HEARING -- ONE OF THE
CONSEQUENCES OF THIS IS THAT THE
LEGISLATURE IS BEING ASTON AND
SEVERAL OF THESE CASES TO
APPROVE PROJECT FUNDING WITH
HAVING LIMITED INFORMATION ON
THE ACTUAL COST SCHEDULE AND
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT -- AND THAT
THE FIRM BASE LINE FOR THOSE
WILL BE DETERMINED AT THE END OF
THIS PROCESS AND SO -- WE BASS
OF THE LEGISLATURE CONSIDER
REQUIRING CDT AND THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE TO ADDRESS THIS
MISALIGNMENT AND ITS CAUSES --
INCLUDING PROVIDING THE
LEGISLATURE WITH A LIST OF
POTENTIAL CHANGES TO THE PROCESS
WE WOULD NOTE THAT WE HAVE BEEN
IN COMMUNICATION WITH CITY T.
AND THEY ARE OFFERING A A
MEETING WITH US NEXT WEEK TO
DISCUSS THIS SO -- THINGS ARE
MOVING -- BUT AND WE WOULD ALSO
LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IN EACH
OF THE RESPECTIVE BUDGET
