COMMITTEE -- JUST DULL.
WE IN APPS IN THE ABSENCE OF A
QUORUM WE'RE GONNA BEGIN AS A
SUBCOMMITTEE HOME WE HAVE A
QUORUM WILL ESTABLISH.
A QUORUM AND BEGIN TO VOTE ON
THE BILLS I WANT TO ANNOUNCE
THAT THE FOLLOWING BILLS BEEN
PULLED FROM TODAY'S HEARING.
ITEM FOR AB TWO EIGHTY ONE AND
ITEM SEVEN AB.
FOR NINETY THE HEARING IS
TELEVISED ON CHANNEL TWENTY TWO
AND CAL CHANNEL DOT COM.
THE FIRST UP WE HAVE.
MISTER MAYOR SU CHI.
WITH.
WAS AB THREE FORTY FIVE MISTER
MURATSUCHI WHEN YOU ARE READY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM CHAIR
THANK YOU FOR THE COMBINATION TO
BE ABLE -- TO PROCEED
[inaudible]
FIRST.
I'M HERE TO PRESENT ASSEMBLY
BILL THREE FOUR FIVE AN
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE BILL.
THAT WILL PROTECT CHILDREN AND
FAMILIES.
MOSTLY LIVING AND LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.
FROM THE HARMFUL HEALTH EFFECTS
OF OIL DRILLING NEAR HOMES
SCHOOLS AND NEIGHBORHOODS.
THIS BILL WOULD REQUIRE ANY NEW
OIL DRILLING TO BE CONDUCTED AT
LEAST TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED FEET.
FROM A RESIDENTS SCHOOL CHILD
CARE FACILITY PLAYGROUND
HOSPITAL FOR HEALTH CLINIC.
BUT FIRST LIKE TO BEGIN BY
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS AND THANKING THE
COMMITTEE STAFF. FOR THE
THOUGHTFUL ANALYSIS OF THE BILL
BEFORE YOU.
NEARLY EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA LIVE WITHIN TWENTY
FIVE HUNDRED FEET.
OF AT LEAST ONE OIL OR GAS WELL.
NUMEROUS STUDIES LINCOLN
PROXIMITY TO OIL AND GAS WELLS
TO A HOST OF NEGATIVE HEALTH
IMPACTS.
INCLUDING INCREASED RISK OF
ASTHMA AND OTHER RESPIRATORY
ILLNESSES.
PRETERM BIRTHS.
CONGENITAL HEART DEFECTS.
HIGH RISK PREGNANCIES.
AN INCREASED RISK OF CANCER.
OIL AND GAS EXTRACTION PRODUCES
AIR TOXINS INCLUDING BONTA
ORGANIC COMPOUND COMPOUNDS LIKE
BENZENE AND FORMALDEHYDE.
FIND AN ULTRA FINE PARTICULATE
MATTER.
IN HYDROGEN SULFIDE AMONG OTHERS.
OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
RISKS INCLUDE WATER
CONTAMINATION.
TOXIC CHEMICAL SPILLS AND
EXPLOSIONS.
IN TWENTY FIFTEEN AS A RESULT OF
SENATE BILL FOR THE CALIFORNIA
COUNCIL ON SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY.
ISSUED A REPORT REGARDING THE
HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
ASSOCIATED WITH OIL AND GAS
PRODUCTION.
THIS STUDY RECOMMENDED A HEALTH
AND SAFETY BUFFER ZONE BETWEEN
SENSITIVE LAND USES.
AND OIL AND GAS WELLS IN ORDER
TO PROTECT COMMUNITIES WHERE
NEIGHBORHOOD DRILLING A CURSE.
DESPITE THIS RECOMMENDATION.
AND THE ABUNDANCE OF EVIDENCE
LINKING THE PROXIMITY OF OIL
DRILLING. TOO SENSITIVE
COMMUNITIES.
CALIFORNIA LAW CURRENTLY DOES
NOT PROHIBIT OIL AND GAS
OPERATORS FROM PLACING WELLS.
NEAR SENSITIVE AREAS LIKE
SCHOOLS DAYCARES RESIDENTIAL
HOMES AND HOSPITALS.
THIS HEALTH PROTECTION ZONE
PROPOSED IN AB THREE FOUR FIVE
WILL CREATE.
THE BUFFER ZONE THAT WAS
RECOMMENDED BY THE CALIFORNIA
COUNCIL ON SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY.
TO PROTECT VULNERABLE
POPULATIONS.
AND TO HELP REDUCE THE SERIOUS
PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS
AND IMPACTS.
MADAM CHAIR IF I MAY I'D LIKE TO
FIRST INTRODUCE ON A BILL
MARKETS.
A COMMUNITY MEMBER FROM SHAFTER
WHO WILL BE A HALF HER TESTIMONY
TRANSLATED BY.
A MISTER WONDERFUL FLORIDA'S.
WHAT IS THAT THIS?
WHEN I STARTED AND BECAUSE OF
THE -- WHAT I'M GONNA DO IS GIVE?
ON EACH SIDE TEN MINUTES AND YOU
CAN DIVIDE IT UP HOWEVER YOU
LIKE BUT WE WILL BE KEEPING TIME
AND I'LL GIVE YOU A FEW EXTRA
MINUTES FOR THE TRANSLATION.
THANK YOU.
WITH A SERVICE -- GIVEN GOING TO
PRESENT ON THE ON THE LAKERS.
ECONOMICAL COMMITTEES BUT
PHYSICALLY THAT IS GETTING A
COMPANION SEEN SEEN WHAT THE
WELL THEY LOOK GROVE ANIMALS --
A REPRESENT THAT ANOTHER MUST IS
THE PROPUESTAS DISCORDANT A
SINGLE.
GOOD AFTERNOON I COME FROM A
CHAPTER IN THE COUNTY OF KERN
TOGETHER WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS
SUCH TROUBLE THIS MORNING WITH
ME.
OUR WORK HERE ON A VOLUNTARY
BASIS.
RACE IN OUR VOICES -- PORTICO
OVER COMMUNITIES.
ANONYMOUS BUT WHAT WHAT WE NEED
A KEY WHEN IT WAS ONE OF THE
IDEAS.
WHAT?
IN A CIRCLE WITH THE OTHERS WILL
DOUBLE MUST MUST PERSONA SCHOOL
GUNS.
IS DONE WORK ON THOSE IN NEED OF
SOME THE AND WORK AND NOT A YOU
KNOW SEAT OF ANY ALLOW ONE
UNITED YOU LET THE OTHER.
IN ORDER COMMUNITY WE HAVE SEEN
MANY CASES OF OF CANCERS
INCLUDING CANCER IN CHILDREN.
BECAUSE OUR QUALITY OR WATER
QUALITY AND OUR SOIL ARE NOT A
GOOD FOR US ANYMORE THERE'S OVER
POLLUTED.
BUT FIVE ORDER THAT IT WAS
BECAUSE IT WAS IS BOUTIQUE IS A
COME OUT THIS YEAR ON SOME OF
SAY THIS WOMAN WITH.
IT A MILLION OP OR FAMILY SIZE
TENNESSEE ON PLEASE LISTEN TO US
AND HAVE CONSIDERATION FOR US
WE'RE HUMAN BEINGS.
IN WE ARE ASAL ARE CONTRIBUTING
TO NOT ONLY OUR STATE BUT OUR
COUNTRY IN WERE DYING BECAUSE OF
A POOR ENVIRONMENT IN OUR
COMMUNITIES.
YES YES PERSONAL THINGS HERE.
THANK YOU FOR ATTENTION.
HI GOOD AFTERNOON -- MY NAME IS
BOB NOT SHAMUS UNDER I'M AN
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR IN THE URBAN
AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
DEPARTMENT.
AT OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE IN LOS
ANGELES AND I EXAMINE I'M HEALTH
CONSEQUENCES FOR COMMUNITIES
LIVING NEARBY ACTIVE OIL
DEVELOPMENT.
AND IN PART OF A LARGER AND I H.
FUNDED STUDY IN LA.
MY GOAL HERE IS TO PROVIDE YOU --
THE DIRECTION OF THE EVIDENCE ON
OIL AND GAS OPERATION RELATED
EXPOSURE AND HUMAN HEALTH
IMPACTS THIS IS A REALLY LARGE
LITERATURE BUT I BROUGHT WITH ME
TO RESEND SCHOLARLY REVIEW
ARTICLES TO GIVE YOU AND I
REALLY URGE YOU.
TO LOOK AT THEM -- A SINGLE
DRILL OPERATION CAN LAST FOR
DECADES AND THE EXTRACTION
PROCESS PRODUCES MULTIPLE
EMISSIONS OF HEALTH HAZARDOUS
AIR POLLUTANTS SUCH AS BENZENE.
TALL YOU MEAN AT THE BENZENE
XYLENE FORMALDEHYDE HYDROGEN
SULFIDE PARTICULATE MATTER.
NITROUS OXIDES AND METHYLENE
CHLORIDE.
TOXIC MET METALS HAVE BEEN
MEASURED IN SOIL AND WATER HERE
THESE OPERATIONS IN CALIFORNIA
EXTRACTION AND DEVELOPMENT
OPERATIONS HAVE EXPANDED CLOSER.
AND CLOSER TO RESIDENTIAL
COMMUNITIES WHICH INCREASES THE
OVERALL RISK OF EXPOSURE. TO AIR
WATER NOISE SOIL AND LIGHT
POLLUTION.
MANY OF THESE COMPOUNDS ARE
KNOWN TO BE TOXIC TO HUMAN
HEALTH CARCINOGENIC CAUSE
RESPIRATORY HARM.
OR OUR ENDOCRINE DISRUPTING
CHEMICALS MEETING THE ALTER THE
BODY'S HORMONE SYSTEM AT VERY
LOW LEVELS OF EXPOSURE WHICH
CAUSES LONG TERM DEVELOPMENTAL
OR REPRODUCTIVE HARM.
WHICH IS A CONSIDERABLE
CONSIDERATION FOR HEALTH ACROSS
GENERATIONS.
THERE'S A GROWING BODY OF
RESEARCH TO SPEAK TO THE POINT
HERE TODAY THAT LOOKS AT THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PROXIMITY
OF THESE FACILITIES AND HUMAN
HEALTH.
MOST OF THESE DISTANCES FURTHER
AWAY THAN ARE BEING CONSIDERED
TODAY.
THE BASIC FINDING FROM THIS
GROUP OF STUDIES IS THAT
PROXIMITY MATTER IT'S LIVING
CLOSER TO AN OIL AND GAS
DEVELOPMENT SITE IS WORSE FOR
YOUR HEALTH.
THEN LIVING FURTHER AWAY WITH
HIM TAX INCLUDING WORTH
PREGNANCY AND BIRTH OUTCOMES
SUCH AS LOW BIRTH WEIGHT AND
SMALL FOR GESTATIONAL AGE BABIES.
MIGRAINE HEADACHES FATIGUE AS MY
EXACERBATIONS SINUS PROBLEMS
HEADACHES SKIN PROBLEMS LOSS OF
SMELL NOSE BLEEDS KIDNEY DAMAGE.
THYROID PROBLEMS AND
PSYCHOLOGICAL STRESS.
THERE IS ALSO A HIGHER BURDEN OF
CANCER MORTALITY IN COMMUNITIES
NEARBY OIL EXTRACTION AND STRESS
INCLUDING SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC
STRESS.
AND ENVIRONMENTAL AND JUSTICE
CAN MAKE HEALTH IN CONDITIONS
WORSE.
THE UPSTREAM OIL AND GAS
INDUSTRY ALSO HAS ONE OF THE
HIGHEST RATES OF SEVERE INJURIES
FOR WORKERS IN THE COUNTRY.
THESE AREAMONG OUR COUNTRY'S
MOST DANGEROUS JOBS WITH
FIDELITY GREATS FOUR TO SEVEN
TIMES THE NATIONAL AVERAGE.
THESE WORKERS ARE AT HIGH RISK
FOR BOTH DEADLY ACCIDENTS AND
TOXIC EXPOSURES AND WORKERS HAVE
BEEN MEASURED WITH HIGHER LEVELS
OF BENZENE IN THEIR BODIES.
AND A RANGE OF INJURIES BUT
FURTHER SETBACKS HAVE BEEN SHOWN
TO BE A MEANINGFUL PUBLIC HEALTH
POLICY APPROACH TO LIMIT HUMAN
HEALTH EXPOSURE TO HARMFUL
CONTAMINANTS.
THERE IS MEANINGFUL PRESIDENT
HERE WHEN THE OVERWHELMING
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE HAS POINTED
TO THE NEED FOR POLICY ACTION.
DATA ON TOBACCO LEAD AND YES A
LEAN.
EITHER GOOD EXAMPLES WHERE
POLICYMAKERS TOOK ACTION AND
IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF COUNTLESS
NUMBER THE FUTURE GENERATIONS
GIVEN THE EVIDENCE.
THE AUTHOR THAN A GOOD GRIEF
FAIR VIEW ALL RIGHT SOME PEOPLE
ARE PUSHING FOR NEW STUDIES ON
EXACTLY HOW EXPOSURE HAPPENS IN
ORDER TO BELIEVE THE EVIDENCE
THAT THESE HEALTH IMPACTS EXIST.
THAT'S SOMETHING SCIENTISTS CAN
POTENTIALLY TEASE OUT BUT WE
ALREADY KNOW THESE HEALTH
IMPACTS EXIST AND I THINK
THERE'S ALREADY MORE THAN ENOUGH
EVIDENCE FOR POLICY MAKERS TO
TAKE ACTION.
SO I URGE YOU TO LOOK AT THE
EVIDENCE YOURSELF AND TAKE
PUBLIC HEALTH PROTECTIVE ACTION
[inaudible]
THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS
LORRAINE THE ABOUT AND ON BEHALF
OF THE ALLIANCE OF NURSES FOR
HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS.
I AM HERE TODAY TO SUPPORT AB
THREE FOUR FIVE THAT WILL
MANDATE A TWO THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED FOOT.
HEALTH AND SAFETY BUFFER BETWEEN
NEW OIL AND GAS WELLS AND
SENSITIVE LAND USES WHICH
INCLUDE SCHOOLS DAY CARE CENTERS
HOMES AND HOSPITALS.
I HAVE BEEN A REGISTERED NURSE
FOR FORTY SIX YEARS THIRTY SIX
OF THOSE WHO WERE AT SAN
FRANCISCO GENERAL HOSPITAL IS A
TRAUMA NURSE.
AND DURING MY ENTIRE CAREER I
WAS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHETHER
OR NOT THE PEOPLE I CARED ABOUT
WERE BREATHING.
YOU CAN LOOK FOR THREE WEEKS
WITHOUT FOOD THREE DAYS WITHOUT
WATER THREE MINUTES WITHOUT AIR
BUT IMAGINE THAT THAT AIR THAT
YOU BREATHE THE TWENTY THREE
THOUSAND TIMES EVERYDAY.
IS DIRTY I AM NOW VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT WHAT THE PEOPLE I CARE
ABOUT OUR BRIEFING AIR POLLUTION
EFFECTS CALIFORNIANS. THREE
WHERE BUT IT AFFECTS SOME MORE
THAN OTHERS.
THERE AT OUR AS MENTIONED A HOST
OF PEER REVIEWED STUDIES THAT
LINK CLOSE SINCE THE OIL AND GAS
WELLS. TO SERIOUS HEALTH
PROBLEMS FOR THE ELDERLY THE
CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN
ESPECIALLY.
HYDROGEN SULFIDE IS ALL LONG
IRRITANT AND AN ASTHMA TRIGGER
THALIA WAYNE IS A POTENT
NEUROTOXIN BENZENE IS A KNOWN
HUMAN CARCINOGEN WE MUST HAVE
SAFE DISTANCE BETWEEN.
OPERATIONS OF OIL AND GAS AND
OUR HOMES OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR
HOSPITALS.
JUST THINK OF THE COST OF ONE
THOUSAND ONE MILLION.
POINT NOT ONE POINT NINE MILLION
SCHOOL DAYS LOST EVERY YEAR IN
CALIFORNIA -- TO SCHOOL CHILDREN
DUE TO ASTHMA ALONE.
AB THREE FOUR FIVE IS BUT A
SMALL STEP IN CONFRONTING A
SERIOUS.
SERIOUS PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE AIR
POLLUTION. FIVE AND A HALF
MILLION CALIFORNIANS MOSTLY
PEOPLE OF COLOR LIVE WITHIN A
MILE OF CURRENTLY OPERATING OIL
AND GAS WELLS THESE PEOPLE HAVE
SUFFERED FOR DECADES.
WE HAVE SO MUCH TO CLEAN UP IN
CALIFORNIA.

MADAME TUSSAUDS.
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS SCOTT
WHICH ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE PIPE TRADES
COUNCIL.
THE STATE ASSOCIATION OF
ELECTRICAL WORKERS THE
CALIFORNIA COALITION OF UTILITY
EMPLOYEES.
WESTERN STATES COUNCIL SHEET
METAL WORKERS.
IN THE ELEVATOR CONSTRUCTORS
UNION.
I'M HERE BECAUSE THIS IS TOO
IMPORTANT OF AN ISSUE TO NOT.
HAVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE FAX
BORN BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE.
THE BILL AS WRITTEN.
AND AS PRESENTED BY THE AUTHOR.
IS ON WARRANTED.
IT'S IRRESPONSIBLE.
AND IT'S FRANKLY RECKLESS.
THE ANALYSIS PREPARED FOR THIS
BILL WHICH I THINK WAS QUITE
THOROUGH.
FAILED TO CITE.
A SINGLE STUDY SUPPORTING.
THE BILL AS PRESENTED BY THE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER.
IT CITED TWO STUDIES. ONE STUDY
WAS CITED BY THE AUTHOR.
WHICH HE SPOKE ABOUT EXTENSIVELY.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE NOTATIONS IN
THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS.
YOU'LL SEE THAT THE C. C. S. T.
STUDY THAT WAS REFERENCED.
WAS ISSUED WAS IT A REPORT THAT
WAS ISSUED RELATIVE TO HYDRAULIC
FRACKING.
THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS BILL
ADDRESSES IT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE
DISCUSSING.
THE SECOND STUDY REFERENCED IN
THIS ANALYSIS AND THE ONLY OTHER
STUDY REFERENCED.
IS THE BORDER THE AIR RESOURCES
BOARD STUDY OF NEIGHBORHOOD AIR
NEAR PETROLEUM SOURCES OR SNAPS.
THE ANALYSIS CORRECTLY.
SITES.
THAT THERE IS NO DATA AVAILABLE
FROM THE SNAP STUDY.
SO YOU HAVE TO STUDIES.
NO CONCLUSIONS RELATIVE TO THIS
BILL.
IN MY THIRTY TWO YEARS AROUND
HERE BEFORE YOU PUT AN ENTIRE
INDUSTRY OUT OF BUSINESS.
INCLUDING TENS AND THOUSANDS OF
MINE MEMBERS.
YOU SHOULD AT LEAST TAKE THE
TIME AND CARE. TO BASE IT ON
SCIENTIFIC FACTS.
MADAM CHAIR THAT IS SIMPLY NOT
EVIDENT HERE TODAY [inaudible]
IN ADDITION.
THE DEFINITION OF EXISTING WELLS.
IN THIS BILL.
IS SOBRE NINE SO BROAD.
IN SO EXTENSIVE IT WILL
VIRTUALLY APPLY TO THE VAST
MAJORITY OF EXISTING WELLS
[inaudible]
IN CALIFORNIA [inaudible]
AGAIN EXASPERATING THE THE
IMPACT ON MY MEMBERS
[inaudible]
JOBS.
WHAT PEOPLE FAIL TO RECOGNIZE IS
THAT IN THESE EXISTING WELLS?
THEY WENT THROUGH A LOCAL
APPROVAL PROCESS.
WITH LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW.
THEN COLLUDED.
LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS.
TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION.
THE HEALTH IMPACTS OF THOSE
PROJECTS AND WHERE THEY WERE
CITED. TO NOW COME FORWARD.
WITH A PIECE OF LEGISLATION. TO
CLOSE DOWN IN INDUSTRY IN ONE
FELL SWOOP [inaudible]
WITHOUT ANSWERING.
THESE SERIOUS SERIOUS FLAWS IN
THE BILL.
DOES IT HUGE DISSERVICE TO THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA IT HAS.
IT HAS.
IT UNINTENDED OR PERHAPS
INTENDED CONSEQUENCES.
IN THAT THE DEFINITION WOLF WHAT
IT WILL AFFECT FLOW LINES.
AND WAIST LINES WHICH COULD
CREATE A PERVERSE INCENTIVE FOR
WELL OWNERS TO NOT DO THE TYPE
OF WORK THEY NEED TO IMPROVE.
AIR EMISSIONS FOR FEAR OF BEING
CLOSE BY BEING FLAG AS A NEW OIL
AND GAS PRODUCTION UNIT.
THIS BILL IS NOT READY FOR PRIME
TIME MEMBERS.
I WOULD URGE YOU TO REJECT THIS
BILL TODAY.
AND SEND IT BACK UNTIL THERE IS
THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF
SCIENCE AND WORK DONE -- BEFORE
PASSING OUT.
SO WITH THAT MY CLIENTS WOULD
URGE A NO VOTE.
MANAGER MEMBERS HEALING GARCIA
FOR THE WESTERN STATES PETROLEUM
ASSOCIATION.
REPRESENTING THE STATE'S MAJOR
PRODUCERS OF OIL AND REFINERS OF
TRANSPORTATION FUELS.
THAT ARE VITAL TO OUR ECONOMY.
AND VERY MUCH NECESSARY FOR YOUR
CONSTITUENTS TO DRIVE TO WORK
AND TO HOME.
IN ON VACATION THIS SUMMER.
LET ME JUST ADD A POINT TO MR
WATCHES A POINT BECAUSE HE'S
ACTUALLY RIGHT.
IF WE WERE IN A COURT OF LAW.
I WOULD HAVE TO OBJECT --
BECAUSE WE'RE ASSUMING FACTS NOT
IN EVIDENCE.
WE MAKE A STATEMENT HERE A VERY
DIRECT STATEMENT.
ABOUT THE AFFECT OF OIL AND GAS
PRODUCTION IN TERMS OF ITS
IMPACTS -- TO COMMUNITIES.
AS IF IT'S FACTUAL WHEN IN FACT
IT IS NOT.
WHAT I SPENT MY A A SPRING BREAK
DOING IN -- TO NOT EXACTLY WHAT
I EXPECTED BUT I READ REPORTS I
READ THE OIL CHANGE
INTERNATIONAL REPORT WHICH IS
THE BASIS FOR THIS BILL.
CALLS FOR THE TWENTY FIVE
HUNDRED FOOT BUFFER.
A SEARCH THE SAME -- FALSE
STATEMENTS BUT ACTUALLY DID
SOMETHING I READ THE REPORT AND
I READ THE FOOTNOTES BUT I WAS
TAUGHT TO DO THAT IN LAW SCHOOL.
I READ THE FOOTNOTES AND THAT
LED ME TO THE CCSD REPORT PAGE
CITED.
THE SPECIFIC PAGE CITED BY THE
OIL CHANGE INTERNATIONAL REPORT.
SPECIFICALLY TELLS YOU THAT THE
FINDINGS DO NOT APPLY TO
CALIFORNIA.
CALIFORNIA IMPACTS MAY BE
SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT BUT HAVE
NOT BEEN MEASURE.
SO WE ARE MAKING STATEMENTS AS
THE AS IF THEY ARE FACT WE ARE
PROPOSING TO SHUT DOWN.
THOUSANDS OF WELLS IN CALIFORNIA
80%.
OF THE PRODUCTION LOS ANGELES
12% STATE WIDE.
POTENTIALLY ENDANGERING THE JOBS
OF THOUSANDS OF FOLKS THAT
MISTER WHAT SPOKE.
TO HARMING COMMUNITIES AND WE'RE
ALL DOING IT ALL ON A FALSE
ASSUMPTION THAT THERE A FAX OR
IN.
SO I SAID WELL IT'S NOT THE CCS
T. REPORT BECAUSE THAT CLEARLY
DOESN'T SAY THAT THERE ARE --
NOTED -- IMPACTS SO MAYBE IT'S
THE LOS ANGELES DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH.
MAYBE THAT ONE SAYS THAT SO I
READ THAT REPORT [inaudible]
THAT REPORT.
CLEARLY CONCLUDES.
THAT THE LITERATURE IS UNABLE TO
CONCLUDE AT THIS TIME WHETHER OR
NOT LIVING WORKING OR GOING TO
SCHOOL IN THE OIL AND GAS
FACILITIES.
IS ASSOCIATED WITH A LONG TERM
NEGATIVE HEALTH IMPACTS.
THAT'S THE LOS ANGELES
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
REPORT ISSUED IN FEBRUARY.
TWENTY EIGHTEEN WHICH VERY
CLEARLY CONCLUDES THE EXACT
OPPOSITE.
OF WHAT THIS STATUTE.
PROPOSES TO STATE AS FACT.
AGAIN JOBS ARE AT RISK OIL.
OIL SUPPLY FOR THE STATE
TRANSPORTATION FUELS ARE AT RISK.
AND WE'RE BASING IT ON FALSE
ASSUMPTIONS.
MISTER WHICH MENTIONED THE SNAPS
ANALYSIS THAT.
THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD
CONDUCTING TODAY.
THEY'RE CONDUCTING THAT ANALYSIS
REVIEWING.
THE IMPACTS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH
OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION IN
NEIGHBORING FACILITIES THAT CAME
AS A RESULT OF AB SIX SEVENTEEN
MISS GARCIA'S BILL.
THAT BILL IS SUPPOSED TO GIVE US
DATA.
DATA WHICH WE CAN RELY ON TO
IMPLEMENT POLICY DATA DRIVEN
POLICY AND FOR THAT REASON OUR
INDUSTRY.
A SUPPORT THE BILL BECAUSE WE
WANT TO DEVELOP POLICY BASED ON
DATA.
WHAT AB THREE FORTY FIVE NOW
DOES IT SAYS LET'S FORGET THE
DATA?
LET'S FORGET THE ANALYSIS LET'S
JUST PRESUME THE FAX.
AND THAT'S SIMPLY SOMETHING THAT
WE CANNOT ACCEPT.
BECAUSE JOBS ARE AT RISK FUEL
SUPPLIES AT RISK OUR ECONOMY AND
THE SPECIFICALLY.
COMMUNITIES IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA IN THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY ARE AT RISK SO WE JUST
CAN'T ACCEPT THAT AS FACT.
WHAT THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS ALSO
POINTS OUT IN ALL MAKE THIS MY
LAST POINT?
WAS THAT THERE WERE CONCERNS
THAT WERE RAISED.
IN LOS ANGELES AND AN
APPROPRIATELY SO ECAUSE THEY
WERE SMALL OPERATORS.
THAT WERE WORKING OPERATING
BELOW THE STANDARD OF CARE
OPERATING EQUIPMENT THAT WAS IN
DISREPAIR.
THAT IS A SPECIFIC SET OF
CIRCUMSTANCES.
THAT WE ARE HAPPY TO ADDRESS WE
ARE HAPPY. TO JOIN THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER IN THIS BODY AND WORKING
ON THAT ISSUE BECAUSE WE CANNOT
ACCEPT.
AND WE WON'T ACCEPT AND SUPPORT
SOMEBODY OPERATING BELOW THE
STANDARD OF CARE.
BUT THAT IS A VERY VERY
DIFFERENCES SITUATION THAT WHAT
YOU HAVE HERE IN AB.
THREE FORTY FIVE YOU HAVE A
STATE WIDE.
HALF MILE SET BACK REGARDLESS OF
THE CIRCUMSTANCES REGARDLESS OF
THE SITE REGARDLESS OF THE WORK
THAT WAS DONE LOCALLY TO ENSURE
THE PROTECTION THAT COMMUNITY.
AND THAT IS GOING TO HARM JOBS.
IN IS A BROAD BLANKET APPROACH
TO TO SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK WE
CAN'T ACCEPT AND WE WON'T.
AND FOR THOSE REASONS THAT I'M
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
BUT I WOULD VERY VERY MUCH
ADAMANTLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK
AT THE SPECIFIC STUDIES THAT.
ASK FOR INFORMATION BECAUSE IT'S
SIMPLY NOT THERE. FOR THAT
REASON THE THE WEST IS A FUN
POSITION OPPOSE THE BILL.
MANAGER MEMBERS AS READY AS A
BEHALF OF STATE BUILDING AND
CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL ALL
BE -- BRIEF BECAUSE I KNOW IN
SPIRIT OF TIME WE'VE ALREADY
COVERED MANY ISSUES -- BUT IN
SHORT CALIFORNIA MUST DO A
BETTER JOB OF BALANCING THE
PRIORITIES ON THE ENVIRONMENT
WITH ALSO THE ISSUES THAT ARE
AFFECTING WORKING FAMILIES TODAY.
YOU'RE WELCOME MILLER WITH THE
INCOME INEQUALITY THAT EXIST.
CALIFORNIA'S GREATNESS WAS
CREATED BY THE MANUFACTURING
SECTOR.
GOOD QUALITY UNION JOBS THAT ARE
NO LONGER IN EXISTENCE AS WE'RE
LOOKING TO ADDRESS ISSUES WITH
THE ENVIRONMENT AND THEY JUST
TRANSITION IT SHOULDN'T BE TO
ELIMINATE ALL THESE GOOD QUALITY
JOBS ARE ACTUALLY EMPLOYING MANY
UNION MEMBERS.
AND ARE PROVIDING FOR FAMILY
SUSTAINING WAGES WITH ACCESS TO
QUALITY HEALTHCARE.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WANTS TO THE ADDRESS THIS
ISSUE BUT AS WAS STATED BY THE
GERMAN FROM WEST BUT THERE ARE
OTHER WAYS TO ADDRESS IT.
AND IF HE WOULD A REACHED OUT
EARLIER AND ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES
PERHAPS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A
BETTER CONVERSATION TO LOOK AT
HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES OF CONCERN
WHEN THERE'S LESS THAN STANDARD.
OPERATIONS OF THOSE WELLS BUT
THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS BILL
INTENDS TO DO.
THIS BILL IS MORE OF AN
EMOTIONAL ARGUMENT TO BASICALLY
GET RID OF AN INDUSTRY THAT
CURRENTLY PROVIDES.
REASONABLE COST ENERGY FOR A LOT
OF WORKING FAMILIES ACROSS THE
STATE AND THAT IS ACTUALLY

GROUND THAT WILL ALSO BE A HUGE
CONCERN SO NOW WE'RE DEALING
WITH THE PRIVATE PROPERTY ISSUE.
BUT DOES THIS THING PROGRESSES.
IT IS FASCINATING THAT
EVERYTHING THAT WE DO IN THE
STATE WE TALK ABOUT THE LOAN
COMMUNICATE WITH LOW INCOME
COMMUNITY AND ALL THAT WE NEED
TO DO TO SUPPORT AND PROTECT
THEM. ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT
THAT DRIVES UP THE COST AND THE
COST OF LIVING IN THE STATE IS
QUITE FRANKLY FOOD THE COST OF
FOOD THE COST OF TRANSPORTATION.
SO IF THERE IS ANY ASPECT OF
THIS BILL THAT LIMITS IN STATE
OIL PRODUCTION.
AND DRIVES UP THE COST WILL BE
TRANSPORTATION OR THE COST TO
FARM THE COST. TO TO PUT A
PRODUCT IN THE SUPERMARKET THAT
OUR OUR COLLEAGUES AND OUR
FRIENDS GO BY WE HAVE A SERIOUS
ISSUE.
AND SO ANYTHING THAT WE DO ON
THAT -- I AM CONCERNED AS WELL
AS ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL SIDE OF
IT IF WE SHUT DOWN THE IN STATE
OIL PRODUCTION WHERE WE GONNA
SUPPLEMENT THAT FROM.
IT'S GONNA BE FROM OVER SORT OF
FOREIGN OIL.
WE HAVE THE ABILITY IN
CALIFORNIA THE MOST REGULATED
OIL INDUSTRY ANY ATTIRE COUNTRY.
THAT'S THE SAFEST PLACE THAT WE
CAN GET THIS OIL IS RIGHT HERE
BELOW US IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
SO I WOULD STRONGLY ENCOURAGES
**** THING MOVES FORWARD THAT WE
TAKE THIS IN MIND WE TALK ABOUT
THE LOW INCOME COMMUNITY BUT
LET'S REALLY FOCUS ON WHAT.
THE ASPECT AND WHAT THIS
ACTUALLY MEANS BECAUSE IF WE DO
NOW I PERSONALLY BELIEVE IT'S
GONNA SHUT DOWN ABOUT 12% OF THE
PRODUCTION.
AT THE NUMBER THAT I'VE SEEN --
IT'S NUMBER THAT I BELIEVE IN.
AND IF THAT IS THE CASE.
WE'RE GONNA SEE A SIGNIFICANT
COST OF LIVING INCREASE THAT IS
GOING TO HURT THE LOW INCOME
FOLKS IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND I
STRONGLY -- ENCOURAGES TO TAKE A
SECOND LOOK AT THIS BILL AND FOR
THOSE REASONS I WILL NOT BE ABLE
SUPPORT THIS BILL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR IT MIGHT
MAYOR BRIEFLY RESPOND SURE.
YES SIR THANK YOU MISTER FLOOR
FOR YOUR YOUR COMMENTS AND YOUR
CONCERNS AND I SHARE.
YOUR DESIRE NOT TO SHUT DOWN THE
INDUSTRY.
I SUPPORT GOOD UNION JOBS.
BUT I THINK.
ANY KIND OF OIL AND GAS
DEVELOPMENT.
SHOULD NOT COME AT THE EXPENSE
OF THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN AND
FAMILIES AND THAT'S WHAT THIS
BILL IS ALL ABOUT.
ARE ONLY TRYING TO PROTECT THE
MOST VULNERABLE OF CALIFORNIANS
BY BY HAVING A MINIMUM SET BACK
JUST TO GIVE YOU A CLEAR.
YOU KNOW -- IDEA OF WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT HERE THERE ARE
OTHER COMMUNITIES INCLUDING OUR
FAVORITE STATE OF TEXAS.
THE CITY OF DALLAS HAS A FIFTEEN
HUNDRED FOOT.
OIL DRILLING SET BACKFROM THE
SENSITIVE POPULATIONS THAT WERE
TRYING TO PROTECT.
HOUSING SCHOOLS FAITH
INSTITUTIONS.
THIS IS NOT A RADICAL IDEA WE'RE
JUST TRYING TO PROTECT.
CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.
DOES THAT NEED MEDICAL CARE.
MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.
SO I'M NOT TRYING TO SHUT DOWN
THIS INDUSTRY I'VE NEVER TALKED
ABOUT SHUTTING DOWN THIS
INDUSTRY AND I'VE ALWAYS I HAVE
A STRONG RECORD.
THE SUPPORTING GOOD UNION JOBS.
BUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF OIL AND
GAS SHOULD NOT COME AT THE
EXPENSE OF THE MOST VULNERABLE
POPULATIONS AND THAT IS WHAT I'M
PROPOSING HERE A MINIMUM SET
BACK. TO PROTECT VULNERABLE
POPULATIONS.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER COMMITTEE
MEMBERS WITH QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS.
OKAY -- ZOOM MISTER MAYOR SU CHI --
I DO APPRECIATE YOUR ACCEPTING
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS AND I
WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ASK YOUR
COMMITMENT TO CONTINUE WORKING
ON LANGUAGE THAT DEALS WITH
VARIANCES AND POSSIBLY ALSO WITH
WHAT IS CONSIDERED TO BE A NEW
WELL BECAUSE I THINK THAT ONE OF
THE POINTS OF THE CAN.
OF CONTENTION IS.
ON WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT IS NEW --
OPERATIONS AND WHAT ISN'T BUT
ALSO YOU KNOW THE THE IDEA THAT
IF A WELL CAN DEMONSTRATE THAT
IT CAN OPERATE -- SAFELY AND
WITHOUT TREMENDOUS AIR QUALITY
ISSUES BECAUSE THERE ARE
DIFFERENT KINDS OF WELLS IS THIS
FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF OIL
THERE'S DIFFERENT APPS.
THAT THERE BE A ROBUST VARIANCE --
PROCEDURE THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY
FOLLOW DO YOU ARE WHAT YOU WOULD
YOU WOULD YOU AGREE TO CONTINUE
TO WORK ON THAT LANGUAGE OF
COURSE.
OKAY THANK YOU AND I DO
APPRECIATE YOUR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD BECAUSE I THINK IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A
CONVERSATION.
ABOUT WHERE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
WELL IT WILL ACTIVITIES AND
WE'RE NOT -- GIVEN THE AMOUNT
AND EVEN THE GROWTH OF OIL
EXPLORATION IN URBAN AREAS AND
COMMUNITIES ARE RIGHTFULLY
CONCERNED SO I DO APPRECIATE
YOUR BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND I
CONNECTS I WILL BE SUPPORTING
YOUR BILL TODAY.
THANK THAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE.
YES THANK YOU I APPRECIATE TO
EVERYONE'S PATIENCE I JUST WANT
TO EMPHASIZE.
YOU KNOW FIRST OF ALL THAT --
THE OPPOSING WITNESSES INDICATED
THAT WE WERE.
PROCEEDING WITH THIS BILL
RECKLESSLY WALLOW IN FACT.
YOU KNOW I ASKED MY STAFF TO
PRINT OUT.
THE SAME COPY THAT -- THE
REPRESENTED FROM THE WESTERN
STATES PETROLEUM ASSOCIATION
REFERENCE THE FEBRUARY TWENTY
EIGHTEEN REPORT.
FROM THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
AND IN THEIR CONCLUSION THEY
RECOMMEND THAT LOS ANGELES
COUNTY EXPANDING THE MINIMAL SET
BACK.
DISTANCE THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS
BEYOND THREE HUNDRED FEET
BECAUSE OF SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
INDICATING THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND
SAFETY IMPLICATIONS.
AGAIN I WOULD EMPHASIZE ALSO
THAT WE ARE BEHIND THE CITY OF
TO RELEASE SOME COMMUNITIES IN
THE CITY OF TEXAS IN TERMS OF
HAVING A MINIMUM SET BACK. TO
PROTECT CHILDREN [inaudible]
SENIORS FAMILIES.
WHERE OIL DRILLING IS CURRENTLY
TAKING PLACE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IN THE BACKYARDS IN
THE NEIGHBORHOODS NEAR SCHOOLS?
NEAR PLAYGROUNDS NEAR HEALTHCARE
FACILITIES.
I BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON SENSE
PROPOSAL.
AND I ASK.
THE STATE BUILDING AND
CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL. TO
ENGAGE IN THIS CONVERSATION
[inaudible]
THAT.
AS WE PROCEED.
TOWARD OUR ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
WE NEED TO BE ABLE.
TO HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE
CONVERSATIONS AS TO ALLOWING THE
INDUSTRY TO GO FORWARD BUT WOULD
NOT AT THE EXPENSE.
OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY.
OF OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.
AND FOR THAT REASON I ASK FOR
HIS SUPPORT FOR A BI.

SANTA MONICA BAY RESTORATION
COMMISSION REPLACING THE STATE
WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD AS
THE AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS
ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT WITH THE
STATE COASTAL CONSERVANCY.
AB FIFTEEN ELEVEN ALSO REVISES
THE PURPOSE OF THE COMMISSION
GIVING IT NEW GOALS RELATED TO
THE RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT
OF THE SANTA MONICA BANDITS
WATERSHED.
THE COMMISSION IS A NON
REGULATORY BODY THAT ADOPTED AND

IS NOW CALLED THE SANTA MONICA
BAY RESTORATION PLAN DEVELOPED.
NEW GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE

TO ENHANCE THE BAY.
AS THE COMMISSION IS WORK TO
IMPLEMENT THE RESTORATION PLAN
THE STATE COASTAL CONSERVANCY
HAS PROVIDED IT WITH ASSISTANCE
FOR GRANTS AND OTHER FORMS OF
SUPPORT.
THE REVISED PURPOSE AND GOALS OF
THE COMMISSION CREATE A NATURAL
ALIGNMENT WITH THE ROLE OF THE
STATE COASTAL CONSERVANCY.
A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN THE COMMISSION THE
CALIFORNIA OF OUR MIDDLE
PROTECTION AGENCY THE NATURAL
AND THE NATURAL RESOURCES AGENCY
WILL BE UPDATED. TO INCLUDE THE
STATE COASTAL CONSERVANCY IN
ORDER TO INSURE CONTINUING
COORDINATION BETWEEN THESE
AGENCIES.
THIS BILL DOES NOT IN ANY WAY
ALTER THECOMMISSION'S
GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE NOR DOES IT
CHANGE THE PUBLIC PROCESS THAT
IS CURRENTLY UNDER WAY TO
ADDRESS THE STRUCTURE.
IT SIMPLY REPLACES THE STATE
AGENCY THAT IS CHARGED WITH
ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES.
WITH ME TODAY TO SPEAK IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL'S TOM FORD
THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
BAY FOUNDATION MOVE THE BILL.
THIS IN MOTION SECOND BUT IF
YOU'D LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING.
SURE THAT -- THE ONE OTHER THING
I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT IS IN
OCTOBER OF TWENTY EIGHTEEN NEW
ACTION PLAN WAS APPROVED BY THE
GOVERNING BOARD OF THE SANTA
MONICA BAY RESTORATION
COMMISSION.
WHICH REALIGNED SOME OF OUR
PRIORITIES WE HAVE ONLY FORTY
FOUR ACTIONS -- TO TRY TO
COMPLETE IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE
HEALTH OF THE BAY THE BENEFITS --
TO THE RESIDENTS OF LOS ANGELES
COUNTY AND TO THE WILDLIFE AND
THOSE NEW -- GOALS MORE DUE TO
MORE CLOSELY ALIGN -- WITH THE
GOALS IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN OF
THE STATE BECAUSE THE
CONSERVANCY SO IT'S A VERY
TIMELY ISSUE FOR US -- I NEED TO
THANK THE STATE.
WATER BOARD FOR ALL OF ITS
SUPPORT OVER MANY MANY YEARS THE
WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS THAT
WE'VE LABORED -- FOR ARE
STARTING TO PAY OFF FOR SIDE TO
SEE THOSE VALUES AND IT'S NOW
TIME FOR US TO MOVE ON TO
INCREASE -- VISITOR SHIPPED TO
THE COAST LINE TO INCREASE
PROTECTION AND RESTORATION OF
THE COASTLINE AND TO GET
OURSELVES READY -- WITH CLIMATE
RESILIENCE AND ADAPTATION
PLANNING ALL OF WHICH WE FIND TO
FIND A GREAT DEAL OF TALENT AND
SUPPORT WITHIN STATE BECAUSE
CONSERVANCY.
THANK YOU IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE
WISHING TO VOICE HER SUPPORT FOR
THE BILL PLEASE COME UP TO THE
MICROPHONE.
OKAY IS THERE ANYBODY OPPOSED TO
THE BILL WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK
OKAY YOU CAN COME OVER TO THE
TABLE IN TWO MINUTES.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS A MULTILATERAL
REPRESENTED BY WHAT LET'S LAND
TRUST.
WE WOULD EAGERLY SUPPORT -- NEW
LEGISLATION FOR THE SANTA MONICA
RESTORATION COMMISSION.
IT WAS BASED ON THE MORE
CONFERENCE A ROADMAP THAT WE
WERE PROMISED TWO AND A HALF
YEARS AGO -- WHAT WE THAT WE
STILL DON'T HAVE I?
DISAGREE WITH THE NOTION THAT
THIS DOESN'T ALTER THE PUBLIC
PROCESS ON THE COMMENTS OF
MISTER FOR JUST MADE HE'S NEVER
ACTUALLY.
MADE PUBLICLY TO THE MEMBERS OF
THE COMMISSION -- ORGANIZATIONS
A MEMBER OF THE WATERSHED
ADVISORY COUNCIL WE'VE NEVER.
IN IN THE SIX YEARS THAT I'VE
BEEN REGULARLY ATTENDING
MEETINGS.
I'M NOT HEARD A SINGLE COMMENT --
OF CONCERN ABOUT CONTINUE WITH
THE WATER BOARD THE NEW ACTION
PLAN DOES NOT.
SIGNIFICANTLY REALIGN THE
COMMISSION.
I THINK THERE ARE MANY ISSUES --
I THINK SURE THEIR ADVANTAGES TO
RE HOUSING IT WITH THE
CONSERVANCY THEY'RE ALSO
DISADVANTAGED.
EXCUSE ME DISADVANTAGES THE
WATER BOARD HAS A REGIONAL
STRUCTURE THAT HAS A LOCAL.
A REGIONAL WATER BOARD -- THAT
WE CAN GO TO MEETINGS EVERY
MONTH THEY'VE GOT OFFICES THERE
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE THE
CONSERVANCY.
AND WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT
THE POTENTIAL ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES OF ALL THE OPTIONS
ON THE TABLE WHICH IS WHAT THE
PUBLIC PROCESS WAS SUPPOSED TO
DO.
RATHER THAN HAVING HEARD IT DOWN
TO ONLY THE PERCEIVED ADVANTAGES
OF ONE OPTION.
SO IN AN IDEAL SITUATION I'D ASK
YOU TO TO PUT THIS ON ON HOLD
FOR AWHILE IT SEEMS PREMATURE TO
GET THE ROADMAP.
ARM MORE REALISTICALLY GIVEN THE
TIME OF THE DAY -- WHAT I WOULD
ASK IS A COMMITMENT FROM THE
MEMBER? TO WORK WITH
STAKEHOLDERS NOT JUST THE BAY
FOUNDATION BUT ALL STAKEHOLDERS.
TO FINISH THIS PUBLIC PROCESS
AND I KNOW THAT WHEN THE
COMMISSION WAS CREATED WAS A TWO
STEP PROCESS SB.
FIFTY SEVEN SIMPLY ASK FOR MORE
INFORMATION.
AND THAT WAS GIVEN IN A REPORT
TO THE LEGISLATURE AND THEN THAT
BECAME SB THIRTEEN EIGHTY ONE
WHICH CREATED.
THE ARE SIMILAR TO BE
RESTORATION COMMISSION I WOULD
HAVE TIME TO GO INTO MORE
DETAILS BUT THERE'S THERE'S A
LOT TO TALK ABOUT THERE'S DIDN'T
THE NOMINATION PAPERS NINETEEN
EIGHTY EIGHT WHICH EXPLAINED WHY
THE STATE WATER RESOURCES
CONTROL BOARD.
WAS SELECTED AS THE HOSTING
AGENCY.
BEFORE WE GO TINKERING WITH THIS
WE REALLY OUGHT TO HAVE.
STE PUBLIC DISCUSSION.
AND AGAIN THEY JUST HAD A SURVEY
YOU CAN WRAP UP I WILL.
LITERALLY JUST FILLED OUT A
SURVEY WITH FORTY RESPONDENTS
NOT A SINGLE RESPONSE RAISE THIS
ISSUE IT'S JUST IT'S NEVER EVER
BEEN RAISED IN A SINGLE MEETING.
WE FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS BY
HAPPENSTANCE IT'S IT'S JUST
WASN'T COMMUNICATED SO I WHAT I
WOULD ASK DISAPPOINTED AS A
COMMITMENT FROM THEM TO BE
AUTHOR.
OUR TOWARD MORE CLOSELY WITH
OTHER STAKEHOLDERS I THINK
THAT'S THE BEST ALL OF GET THEM
TODAY THANK YOU.
THANK YOU IS OR ANYBODY ELSE

A GREATER NUMBER OF CALIFORNIA
DRIVERS.
AT ALL INCOME LEVELS
SPECIFICALLY THE BILL INCREASES
REBATE LEVELS BY FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLARS FOR LOW INCOME
INDIVIDUALS.
AND LIMIT ELIGIBILITY FOR HIGH
INCOME INDIVIDUALS.
THESE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CV RPG
WERE ORIGINALLY PROPOSED MY BILL

COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS YES I AM
OKAY THANK YOU -- AND YOUR
WITNESS AND SUPPORT HIGH SOON.

MEMBERS BILL TOGETHER WITH
COLORS FOR CLEAN AIR IN SUPPORT
THIS BILL ESPECIALLY WITH THE
INCORPORATION OF THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS WILL MAKE THE CLEAN
VEHICLE REBATE PROJECT BOTH MORE
EFFECTIVE.
AND MORE EQUITABLE -- WE HAD A
LOT OF SUCCESS IN CALIFORNIA
ELECTRIC VEHICLES ARE SELLING
MUCH MORE THAN EVER.
BUT THE DOWNSIDE OF THAT IS
THERE'S LESS REBATE MONEY TO GO
AROUND SO WE NEED TO FOCUS THOSE
REBATES IN THE PLACES WHERE THE
MAKE THE MOST DIFFERENCE AND AS
MISTER COOPER HAS SAID.
THAT HE IS WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE
LESS AFFLUENT.
AND SO BY HAVING THE INCOME CAP
WE RESERVE THOSE REBATES FOR THE
PEOPLE FOR WHOM THEY WILL MAKE
THE MOST DIFFERENCE.
AND THAT WAY WE CONTINUE TO
EXPAND THE ELECTRIC FIELD
VEHICLE MARKET AND DO IT IN THE
MOST EQUITABLE MANNER SO WE'RE
SUPPORT.
THANK YOU IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE

MEMBERS AND MADAM CHAIR.
AB FIFTEEN EIGHTY THREE WERE TO
STEPS TO CALIFORNIA RECYCLING
MARKET DEVELOPMENT ACT WHICH
SEEKS TO BALANCE CALIFORNIA'S
AMBITIOUS ORGANIC WASTE
DIVERSION GOALS.
WITH THE CHANGING MARKET
REALITIES ARE STATES TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE ORGANIC WASTE
DIVERSION GOAL OF 75% IS RAPIDLY
APPROACHING MEANWHILE AFTER
IMPLEMENTING ITS NATIONAL SORT
POLICY WAS STRICT CONTAMINATION
LEVEL CAPS.
CHINA AS WE KNOW IS NOW REFUSING
TO ACCEPT MOST OF OUR RECYCLED
MATERIAL THE RESULT OF THIS MUCH
IS WHAT WE LIKE TO CALL RECYCLE
MATERIAL IS NOW SITTING IN A
LANDFILL -- ALSO CAUSING
PROBLEMS I CAN TELL YOU MEMBERS
BEFORE I CAME DOWN UP 2%.
THERE IS A THREE ALARM FIRE AT
THE PORT OF STOCKTON AT A
RECYCLING CENTER THAT IS OVER
PILED WITH PLASTICS AND PAPER --
AND OTHER KINDS OF WASTE THIS IS
EXACTLY THE KIND OF THING THAT
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS AS
WE'RE GOING FORWARD.
WE KNOW THAT'S A PROBLEM NOW
THERE'S NO MARKET AND SO IT IS
BEING STOCKPILE THINGS THAT WE
THOUGHT WERE RECYCLE ARE NOW
SITTING AROUND.
AND CATCHING ON FIRE -- IF WE'RE
SERIOUS ABOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM
THAT WE NEED TO START ADDRESSING
RECYCLE RECYCLING
COMPREHENSIVELY.
IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO RESPOND TO
THE CONTAMINATION LEVELS OF OUR
RECYCLED EXPORTS WE HAVE TO LOOK
BACK EVEN FURTHER.
AB FIFTEEN EIGHT THREE SIX TO DO
THAT.
BY LOOKING AT NEARLY EVERY
ASPECT OF RECYCLING FROM PUBLIC
EDUCATION AND CURBSIDE RECYCLING
PROGRAMS TO MARKET DEVELOPMENT
INFRASTRUCTURE AND TECHNOLOGY
INCENTIVES WITH ME TODAY I HAVE.
NICK LAPIS WITH A CALIFORNIA
AGAINST WASTE MARK PRAYER ON
BEHALF OF REPUBLIC SERVICES AND
JOHN KENNEDY WAS RULE COUNTY
REPRESENT AS OF CALIFORNIA.
THANK YOU TWO MINUTES A PIECE
PLEASE.
CAPTION IN A CLASS OF
CALIFORNIANS AGAINST WASTE.
WE'VE HAD A REALLY SUCCESSFUL --
RECYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE
DEVELOPING CALIFORNIA OVER THE
LAST THIRTY YEARS BUT A LOT OF
THAT HAS RELIED ON SENDING
RECYCLES OVERSEAS.
NOW THAT THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT
HAS SAID THAT THEY NO LONGER
WANT MANY OF OUR CYCLES.
AND OTHER COUNTRIES ARE
FOLLOWING SUIT.
IT'S ON ONE HAND A SORT OF
EXISTENTIAL RISK FOR THE
RECYCLING INDUSTRY BECAUSE SO
MUCH -- WE RECYCLED NO LONGER AS
MARKETS BUT THE SAME TIME IT'S
AN OPPORTUNITY.
AND THIS BILL REINVESTED
RECYCLING IN CALIFORNIA -- AND
KEEPS EXPANDING RECYCLING TO
INCLUDE COPPER.
COMPOSTING ORGANICS AS WELL
[inaudible]
THANK YOU.
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MARKUP PRAYER ON
BEHALF OF REPUBLIC SERVICES.
I WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD AND
FOR HER LEADERSHIP.
IN THIS AREA I ALSO WANT TO NOTE
FOR THE COMMITTEE THAT YOU HAVE
REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE SOLID
WASTE INDUSTRY THE ENVIRONMENTAL
COMMUNITY.
AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT SUPPORTING
THIS MEASURE. TO MY KNOWLEDGE
THERE IS NO OPPOSITION TO THIS
MEASURE AND I THINK THAT THE
FACT THAT THESE THREE SECTORS.
WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HANDLING
SOLID WASTE AND PROMOTING SOLID
WASTE AND RECYCLING POLICY ARE
ALL HERE UNIFIED IN SUPPORT OF
THIS MEASURE?
I CANNOT I CANNOT.
OVER STATE THE NEED FOR THIS
BILL TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF
CHINA SOARED WE DO NOT HAVE
ADEQUATE CAPACITY IN THE
CALIFORNIA. FOR PURPOSES OF NOT
ONLY PROCESSING SOLID WASTE BUT
FINDING A HOME FOR RECYCLED
MATERIAL ONCE IT HAS BEEN
PROCESSED WE THEREFORE ASK AND
JR AYE VOTE.
HELLO JOHN KENNEDY WITH RC RC.
WE APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD AND
WE SEE IT AS A VITAL TOOL TO
HELP US COMPLY WORK TO ADDRESS
NATIONAL SORT AND COMPLY WITH SB --
THIRTEEN EIGHTY THREE WE PASSED
A COUPLE YEARS AGO -- THE
REQUIRES THE STATE TO DIVERT 75%
ORGANIC WASTE FROM LANDFILLS BY --
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE WE'RE HAVING
A REALLY HARD TIME DOING THAT
AND CAL RECYCLE SAYS THAT COULD
COST UP TO TWENTY ONE BILLION
DOLLARS.
EVEN AFTER SEVENTEEN BILLION
DOLLARS AND PUT -- PROPOSED
BENEFITS THAT COULD STILL BE
THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR SO IN ADDITION TO
THESE INCENTIVE PROGRAMS REALLY
HELPING TO CHEN UP AND IN STATE
RECYCLING PROGRAM. TO DEAL WITH
NATIONAL SOARED WE THINK THE
ORGANIC WASTE INCENTIVE PROGRAM
WILL ALSO GO A LONG WAY TO
HELPING US MEET OUR THIRTEEN
EIGHTY THREE REQUIREMENTS.
SO WE'RE STRONGLY SUPPORTIVE OF
THIS BOOK FOR TWO OTHER WAYS TO

THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR ON BEHALF
OF THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER OF OUR
GUYS HERE I'M HERE TO PRESENT AB.
FIFTY SIX BEFORE I BEGIN I'D
LIKE TO ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS -- THAT REMOVES THE
ANY OTHER DUTIES AS THE FIND
FUNCTION OF THE AUTHORITY AND
MAKE THE OTHER TECHNICAL CHANGES
IN FACT ON BEHALF OF THE AUTHOR
WE WILL COMMIT TO FURTHER
AMENDMENTS THAT WILL -- CLARIFY
THE PC PRESIDENT WILL RECUSANT
THEMSELVES FROM ANY AUTHORITY
DECISIONS REGARDING PROCUREMENT
AND ADDRESS THE APPROPRIATE
RECOVERY OF AUTHORITY
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS.
AB FIFTY SIX WILL ADDRESS THE
FACT THAT NO ONE DISAGREES WITH
THE NATURE OF ENERGY PROCUREMENT
IN CALIFORNIA HAS FUNDAMENTALLY
CHANGED.
CURRENTLY IN THERE IS AN ISSUE
WITH OUR GREAT FOR ANY REASON
THE STATE IS LEFT WITH LITTLE
RECOURSE OUR OPTIONS TO ALLOWED
US TO ACT QUICKLY.
AB FIFTY SIX GIVES THE
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION THE AUTHORITY TO
REQUIRE THE CALIFORNIA ALTERNATE
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY IN ADVANCE
TRANSPORTATION FINANCING
AUTHORITY TO PROCURE POWER. TO
MEET THE STATE'S CLIMATE CLEAN
ENERGY AND RELIABILITY GOALS.
THIS NEW AUTHORITY ALREADY EXIST
AT THE PC -- THIS BILL SIMPLY
EXPAND IT TO A STATE CONTROLLED
ENTITY THIS BILL WILL NOT
INTERFERE AT ALL WITH
PROCUREMENT AS IT CURRENTLY
HAPPENS BY THOSE SERVICING
ENTITIES AND IT IS NARROWLY
DEFINED TO ADDRESS SPECIFIC.
RESIDUAL GAPS IDENTIFIED BY THE
STATE.
IN FACT IF THERE ARE NO NEEDS ON
THE GRADE THE IDEAS THAT THIS
ENTITY WOULD NOT BE USED AT ALL.
AB FIFTY SIX DESIGNS THE NEW
FUNCTION OF KATE BUT TO OPERATE
LIKE A UTILITY THAT ONLY ACTS
WHEN DIRECTED ME TO BY THE STATE
AND IS SUBJECT TO STRICT STATE
OVERSIGHT.
THIS IS THE RIGHT MOVE FOR
CALIFORNIA ON BEHALF OF THE
AUTHOR I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN
AYE VOTE HERE WITH US HERE WITH
ME TO TESTIFY TODAY IS NOT
FRIEDMAN FROM THE UTILITY REFORM
NETWORK.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE MY NAME IS MATT
FRIEDMAN I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF
THE UTILITY REFORM NETWORK IN
SUPPORT OF AB.
FIFTY SIX WHICH WOULD AUTHORIZE
THE CALIFORNIA ALTERNATIVE
ENERGY IN ADVANCE TRANSPORTATION
FINANCING AUTHORITY TO SERVE AS
A BACKSTOP PROCUREMENT ENTITY.
FOR ELECTRICITY AND RELIABILITY
PRODUCTS UNDER SPECIFIC
CIRCUMSTANCES ON BEHALF OF
RETAIL ATROCITY CUSTOMERS WITHIN
THE STATE.
THE APPROACH HERE IS DESIGNED TO
RECONCILE THE RAPID EVOLUTION OF
RETAIL ELECTRICITY MARKETS WITH
THE STATE'S CLEAN ENERGY
RESOURCE PLANNING AND
RELIABILITY POLICIES.
CAVE TO COULD SERVE AS AN
IMPORTANT TOOL THAT WOULD BE
USED TO PROVIDE VARIOUS TYPES OF
RESIDUAL ON BACKSTOP PROCUREMENT.
SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND APPROVAL
BY THE PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
THAT THE P. YOU SEE TODAY HAS
SUBSTANTIAL AUTHORITY TO ORDER
BACKSTOPS PROCUREMENT UNDER
EXISTING LAW.
YOU SEE TODAY.
MAY DIRECTOR CENTRAL BUYER TO
PROCURE RESOURCE ADEQUACY WITH
COST COLLECTED FROM ALL
CUSTOMERS.
THE P. YOU SEE MAY DIRECT THE
INVESTOR OWNED UTILITIES TO
SATISFY SYSTEM WIDE UNMET NEED
UNDER THE INTEGRATED RESOURCE
PLANNING PROGRAM WITH COST
COLLECTED FROM ALL CUSTOMERS.
AND IT MAY AUTHORIZE A VOLUNTARY
ENTITY TO CONDUCT RENEWABLE
PORTFOLIO STANDARD COMPLIANCE
PROCUREMENT.
IF A SMALL LOAD SERVING ENTITY
REQUEST THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPT
INTO SUCH A STRUCTURE.
AB FIFTY SIX WOULD ESSENTIALLY
CREATE A PUBLIC OPTION.
THAT ALLOWS TAKE. FIVE TO BE
SELECTED BY THE P. YOU SEE FOR
THESE PURPOSES INSTEAD OF THE
INVESTOR OWNED UTILITIES.
NOTHING IN THIS BILL IS INTENDED
TO MODIFY OR EXPAND THE P. UC'S
EXISTING AUTHORITY UNDER ANY OF
THESE PROGRAMS.
CHANGES TO THE P. UC'S AUTHORITY
OVER RESOURCE ADEQUACY OR
INTEGRATED RESOURCE PLANNING OR
THE RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARD
PROGRAM.
ARE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THIS
BILL.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF THE
OPPONENTS OF THIS BILL HAVE
RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THESE
EXISTING PROGRAMS.
BUT I BELIEVE MANY OF THEIR
CRITIQUES WOULD RELATE TO
EXISTING LAW AND NOT TO WHAT IS
BEING PROPOSED IN THIS BILL AND
WE ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH
VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS. TO CLARIFY
THAT AB FIFTY SIX DOES NOT
EXPAND THE SCOPE OF THE P. UC'S
EXISTING AUTHORITY TO ORDER
BACKSTOPS RETIREMENT.
AND DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY NEW
AUTHORITY FOR THE P. YOU SEE TO
ENGAGE IN OVERSIGHT.
OF COMMITTEE CHOICE AGGREGATORS.
OR ELECTRIC SERVICE PROVIDERS
AND WE BELIEVE THAT THE
AMENDMENTS THAT ARE TAKEN IN THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS TODAY REFLECT
THAT COMMITMENT -- EXISTING
PROCUREMENT BACKSTOPS IN THE
STATE.
TODAY INVOLVED THE INVESTOR
OWNED UTILITIES AND THE
CALIFORNIA EYES SO AND WE THINK
THEIR REASONS FOR MOVING AWAY
FROM THESE BACKSTOPS AND TOWARDS
A PUBLIC OPTION.
THERE ARE GROWING CONCERNS ABOUT
THE INVESTOR OWNED UTILITIES TO
THEIR CREDIT CHALLENGES.
AND THE FACT THAT THERE IS A
GENERAL BELIEF THAT THE INVESTOR
OWNED UTILITIES MAY BE BEST
SUITED. TO SERVE AS WIRES ONLY
COMPANIES TO FOCUS ON THE SAFE
AND RELIABLE OPERATION OF THEIR
DISTRIBUTION AND TRANSMISSION
NETWORKS.
IN TERMS OF THE CALIFORNIA ISO.
YES ARE YOUR TIME IS UP TO YOU
CAN FINISH UP.
THANK YOU I I GUESS I'LL JUST
END BY SAYING I WANT TO CLARIFY
THAT THIS BILL DOES NOT ALTER
THE EXISTING AUTHORITY THE
COMMISSION.
AND IT PRESERVES THE AUTHORITY
OF EMERGING RETAIL PROVIDERS TO
MAKE THEIR OWN RESOURCE PLANNING
CHOICES WE THINK IT'S AN
IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD.
AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING
THE CONVERSATION WITH A VARIETY
OF STAKEHOLDERS IF THE BILL
MOVES OUT OF THIS COMMITTEE
TODAY THANK YOU WE ASK YOUR AYE
VOTE.
THANK YOU FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO
WISHES TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL.
YES MADAM CHAIRMAN MEMBERS THAT
CARL LUNDEN HERE ABOUT THE
BIOMASS ENERGY ALLIANCE.
SPACE COULD THE TRADE
ASSOCIATION OF THE BIOMASS
INDUSTRY -- WE'RE ALSO
SUPPORTING BILLS WELL THANK YOU
PAUL PEOPLE BRIEF.
THANK YOU ANYONE ELSE IN SUPPORT.
MADAM CHAIR MARK A PRAYER ON
BEHALF OF CHARGE POINT A MAJOR
PROVIDER OF THE THE
INFRASTRUCTURE WE ARE DRIVE OUT.
THANK YOU IS THERE ANYONE TO
SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL.
OKAY WILL HAVE A THREE WITNESSES
IN OPPOSITION OF YOU CAN COME TO
THE TABLE.
TAKE TWO MINUTES PLEASE.
GOOD AFTERNOON I'M JEFF CIPHERS
VICE PRESIDENT THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY CHOICE ASSOCIATION WE
REPRESENT NINETEEN LOCAL PUBLIC
CCA POWER AUTHORITIES SERVING A
POPULATION OF TEN MILLION PEOPLE.
THIS BILL IS SEEKING TO SOLVE A
REAL PROBLEM BUT AS RECOGNIZED
IN THE ASSEMBLY UTILITIES AND
ENERGY COMMITTEE IT NEEDS
FURTHER WORK TO GET IT RIGHT.
AND NSURE IT ISN'T JUST A POWER
GRAB BY THE CBC.
WE DO NEED TO PROTECT GRADE
RELIABILITY BUT WE NEED TO DO IN
A WAY THAT DOESN'T HARM.
A RENEWABLE ENERGY GOALS CCA'S
WORK CREATED BY THE LEGISLATURE
TO PROVIDE MARKET STABILITY
DURING PEONIES FIRST BANKRUPTCY.
BACK THEN GAMING BY SOME ENERGY
COMPANIES CONTRIBUTED THE
BLACKOUTS AND HIGH RATES WE NOW
HAVE OPERATING CCA'S.
AND THEIR STRONG INTEREST IN
STOCKTON AND AROUND CALIFORNIA
TO EXPAND REPAIR AN
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS CCA'S
PROVIDE.
THE CURRENT BILL WHATEVER
CENTRAL BUYER HANDLE RESOURCE
ADEQUACY.
RENEWABLE ENERGY AND EFFICIENCY
PROGRAMS BUT WE AGREE WITH THIS
COMMITTEES ANALYSIS THAT
PROCUREMENT AUTHORITY SHOULD BE
FOCUSED ON SPECIFIC UNMET NEEDS.
NOT ON QUOTE ANY OBJECTIVES
AUTHORIZED BY THE PC.
CCA'S ARE ON TRACK TO BUILD TEN
THOUSAND MEGAWATTS OF DIVERSE
AND WELL INTEGRATED NEW
RENEWABLE SOURCES BY.
TWENTY THIRTY SO IT MAKES NO
SENSE TO INCLUDE RENEWABLE
ENERGY OR RENEWABLE ENERGY
INTEGRATION IN THE BILL.
BUT RESOURCE ADEQUACY IS
DIFFERENT AND WE ENCOURAGE
SLIMMING THIS BILL DOWN TO FOCUS
SOLELY ON THAT MATTER.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT
THE CONSTRUCTION OF RENEWABLE
ENERGY ISN'T ACCIDENTALLY
STOPPED HOWEVER BECAUSE HE SEES
ARE DEVELOPING THOSE TEN
THOUSAND MEGAWATTS FOR BOTH
ENERGY AND RESOURCE ADEQUACY.
THOSE TWO THINGS ALWAYS GO
TOGETHER IN EVERY PROJECT.
WE WOULD SUPPORT THE COMMITTEE
AMENDING THE BILL TO CREATE A
DEFAULT PROCUREMENT ENTITY FOR
RESOURCE ADEQUACY ALONE.
AND THAT INCLUDES LOCAL
RELIABILITY WE ALSO ASKED THE
COMMITTEE TO ENSURE THAT NEEDS
ARE COORDINATED BETWEEN ENERGY
COMMISSION THE I SO IN THE PC.
AND TO CONTINUE ALLOWING
ELECTRIC PROVIDERS TO SELF
PROVIDE RESOURCES AS THEY DO NOW.
FOR ANY SHORTCOMINGS THE CENTRAL
DEFAULT BUYER WOULD STEP IN AND
BY THE REMAINING THESE NEEDED
RESOURCES AND ASSIGN THOSE COSTS.
TO ANYONE WHO DIDN'T PARK HERE --
AND THEY WOULD DO THAT ON THE
GENERATION SIDE OF THE BILL.
SO WITH GOODS BACKSTOP
PROCUREMENT LIKE THAT WE CAN
PROTECT OUR GRADE WITHOUT
HURTING RATE PAYERS.
ENERGY JOBS WHERE THE CLIMATE
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ANYBODY ELSE IN
OPPOSITION. FOR MEMBERS REBEKAH
LEE ON BEHALF OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA EDISON WE HAVE A LOT
OF CONCERNS WITH THE BILL
IMPRINTS.
AND YET TO BE ABLE TO ANALYZE
THE AMENDMENT AS PROPOSED BY THE
COMMITTEE HOWEVER -- OUR
PERSPECTIVE IS THAT CALIFORNIA
DOES NOT NEED A CENTRAL BUYER
FOR PREFER RESOURCE POLICY
PROCUREMENT WING AT A CENTRAL
PLANNER TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL
RETAIL PROVIDERS COME THROUGH ON
THE PROMISE TO DELIVER THE CLEAN
ENERGY GOALS OF THAT'S BEEN LAID
OUT BY THIS LEGISLATURE -- AND
WITH THESE CONCERNS WE ARE GOING
OVER THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ANYONE ELSE IN
OPPOSITION OR THE GENIE MINOR ON
BEHALF OF MARIN CLEAN ENERGY AND
SEE THE STATE'S FIRST CCA ALSO
IN OPPOSITION APPRECIATE THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS AND GETS AS
STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION BUT
DO THINK THERE'S THERE'S STILL
SOME LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT'S
BROAD AND WOULD.
APPLY TO OUR PROCUREMENT
AUTONOMY THANK YOU.

ASSOCIATION CALIFORNIA CAUCUS WE

THOUGHTFUL ANALYSIS ON THE BILL --
PERHAPS NOT CONTEMPLATED EXACTLY --
IN A PRINT AS THE BILL IS TODAY

THE FUTURE -- AFTER THIS
COMMITTEE -- PT JUSTWANTED TO
TESTIFY THAT.
WE'VE ALREADY EXPRESSED OUR CA
ARE A SUPPORT FOR ON THE CENTRAL
BUYER OPTION AT THE P. YOU SEE
IN TERMS OF RESOURCE ADEQUACY.
BUT TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS
CONVERSATION BROADENS -- THERE
ARE NUMBER OF COMPLEX ISSUES OF
P. GENIE IS OPEN TO HAVING THOSE
DISCUSSIONS AND WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS --
AND AUTHORS OF THE BILL THANK
YOU.
HEY THANK YOU WITHOUT ALL MOVE
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE IF ANY
COMMITTEE MEMBERS HAVE ANY

QUESTION.
THANK YOU -- I APPRECIATE THAT
THIS IS THE WORK IN PROGRESS SO
I WILL VOTE FOR IT BUT I HAVE.
I HAVE BEEN HEARING TO THIS
CONFLICT IN.
OPINIONS ABOUT THE BILL FROM THE
CCA'S AND AND FROM THE MEMBER SO
CAN YOU MAYBE.
CLARIFY SOME OF THAT FROM ME OR
WHERE WE'RE AT AND IN FINDING
SOME COMMON GROUND THERE AND HOW
TO CEASE WILL OR WON'T BE
AFFECTED RIGHT SO -- ESTATE ADS
AS WE STATED ANY OTHER DUTIES AS
DEFINED HAS BEEN WELL WE'RE
TAKING THAT AMENDMENT ALSO THIS
DOESN'T EXPAND I THINK THAT THE
CCA'S I HAVE CCA'S IN MY OWN
DISTRICT AND SO -- AND CITIES
LIKE HAWTHORNE THAT HAVE I HAVE
ENJOYED WORKING WITH CCA'S AND
SO.
I THINK THAT THE CONCERNED
MOSTLY AT THIS POINT.
THIS DOESN'T EXPAND NY OF THE
PC'S RESPONSIBILITIES OR
AUTHORITIES OVER THE CCA'S I
THINK THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS
THAT ARE IN PLACE RIGHT NOW THAT
THIS SPECIES ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT
HOWEVER.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO CONTINUING
TO WORK WITH THEM ON AND WE ARE
NOT TRYING TO EXPAND THAT THAT
AT THE ALREADY THIS IS REALLY
NEED TO BE USED AS A BACKSTOP --
BECAUSE WE HAVE WE DO FACE SUCH
ISSUES RIGHT NOW WITH OUR
UTILITY SYSTEM -- OKAY SO
[inaudible]
I WILL.
WAIT A I WILL FOR THE DAY BUT
BECAUSE OF THE CCA'S THAT I HAVE
IN MY DISTRICT AND THEY'RE NEAR
CCA'S THERE FOR HE NOW AND I
HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SAY.
THE LAURIE BECAUSE I SEE IT HERE
OR NOT -- AND JUST MOVING FOR
THAT THIS IS ONE OF I GUESS NOT
THE ATTITUDE THAT IN MIND I HAVE
NO PROBLEM VOTING FOR A TWO DAY --
AND I AND I TRUST THAT YOU WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM TO
GET THEM TO ACCOUNTABLE SPOT AND
AND OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT MY BILL
BUT I BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT AS
A CO AUTHOR I AM HAPPY TO COME
DOWN AND SIT WITH YOU AND KIND
OF WALK.
THROUGH SOME OF THE COMPLEXITIES
THAT I BELIEVE WERE SOME OF THE
CCA'S ISSUES AND CONCERNS RIGHT
NOW BUT THE GOAL IS NOT TO
INTERFERE WITH THEIR BUSINESS
MODEL AS IT STANDS TODAY.
OKAY -- AND AND THEN JUST MOVING
FORWARD AND AND NOT IN THIS BILL
THAT I I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT AS WE'RE HAVING DISCUSSION.
WERE ALSO HAVING A DISCUSSION
ABOUT RESOURCE ADEQUACY AND IN
THE BIGGER PICTURE US I'M NOT
ASKING YOU TO ADOPT THIS AT THIS
POINT BUT I DO THINK THAT.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO
BE DISCUSSED AS AS WE'RE HAVING
DISCUSSIONS AND NOT EXPECTED TO
SHOW UP IN THIS BILL BUT I I DID
WANT TO BRING THAT POINT FORWARD
[inaudible]
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MS EGGMAN.
JUST THE KIND OF THE CHIME IN
WITH DISCUSSION I KNOW THIS IS
NOT YOUR BILL AND THEN YOU ARE.
THE SECOND COMMITTEE I'VE SEEN
YOU PRIVATE.
AND AND I WOULD JUST ECHO THE
COMMENTS I MADE IN THE FIRST
COMMITTEE AT THE PROBLEM IT
NEEDS TO BE SOLVED WE WE GOT TO
MAKE SURE WE GET IT RIGHT.
YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF INPUT FROM A
LOT OF STAKEHOLDERS AND WILL
CONTINUE TO DO KNOWN NURSE ALONG
AND AND MAKE SURE IT GETS IN A
PLACE WHERE WE CAN ALL FEEL GOOD
ABOUT IT FORGETS THE FLOOR.
AND AND I APPRECIATE IT IS A
VERY BIG CONCEPT I UNDERSTAND
THAT ANY AND IT WILL TAKE TIME
AND I THINK THAT THIS AUTHOR WE
ALL KNOW WILL PUT THE TIME IN
AND WERE HOW OBVIOUSLY OUR HOUSE
OFFICES HAPPY AS LONG WHILE HE
IS NOT HERE. TO CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH HIM IN HIS OFFICE -- ON
THAT STAKEHOLDER PROCESS TO MAKE
SURE THAT THIS BILL -- ARRIVES
AT A PROPER POINT.
MR MERCHANT THANK YOU.
MS BURKE I KNOW THIS IS NOT YOUR
BILL.
AND AND AND AND RIGHT I I FEEL --
THAT FOR MISTER GARCIA THAT THAT --
HE'S NOT ABLE TO TO JOIN US -- A
THE A I I AM CONCERNED THOUGH
THAT YOU KNOW THIS IS THIS THE
SECOND POLICY COMMITTEE HEARING
THAT.
THAT I'M HEARING THIS BILL.
AND YET THE CONCERNS OF THE
CCA'S.
THEY DON'T SEEM TO FEEL.
THAT THEIR CONCERNS HAVE BEEN
ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED.
AND YOU KNOW I I I AM CONCERNED
THAT.
pTHIS COMPROMISE HAS BEEN MADE IT
STILL.
AN INFRINGEMENT ON THE CC
PROCUREMENT AUTONOMY -- AND SO I
YOU KNOW I I I FEEL THAT OF A
FOR US TO BE DOING OUR JOB AS AS
THE THE POLICY COMMITTEE AND FOR
ME ESPECIALLY AT HEARING THIS IN
THE SECOND POLICY COMMITTEE
[inaudible]
THAT -- AS A STRONG SUPPORTER OF
CCA A PROCUREMENT TANAMI -- I
DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE IN VOTING
FOR THE BILL I WAS WANTED TO SEE
IF YOU CAN CHANGE MY MIND.
I I WOULD SAY THAT I THINK THE
OPPOSITION EVEN MENTION THAT WE
HAVE TAKEN OUT ANY OTHER DUTIES
AS DEFINED IN WE HAVE MADE SOME
SOME PROGRESS I THINK THE
OPPOSITION DID SAY THAT DURING
THEIR DURING THEIR REMARKS AND
SO.
I IT IS GOING TO TAKE TIME AND
WE DO ARE DEALING WITH A FEW
CHALLENGES BUT WE ARE MOVING WE
ARE MOVING ACTUALLY I BELIEVE IN
A DIRECTION.
THAT I HOPE WE ARE HOPING AT
SOME POINT THE CCA'S WILL BE
COMFORTABLE WITH BUT WE ARE WE
HAVE MOVED WE HAVE HAD SOME
POSITIVE MOTION JUST SO THAT
YOU'RE AWARE AND I WAS AWARE OF
YOUR CONCERNS IN THE LAST
COMMITTEE -- AND WE TOOK THE
AMENDMENTS IN THIS COMMITTEE TO
START TO ADDRESS SOME OF THEIR
CONCERNS AND I WE WILL CONTINUE
TO WORK TOWARDS THAT.
MAY I ASK THE CCA FOR THEIR
WHEAT WHICH YOU WERE.
YEAH YOU CONFIDENT THAT THIS IS
A YEAR YOU'RE GOING TO GET.
TO NO I'M NOT ALTHOUGH I DO
WELCOME.
THE OTHER IN THE SPONSOR -- AND
AND WAS CRISTINA GARCIA AS WELL --
ABOUT EXTENDING THAT.
EXTENDING THAT OFFER TO MEET AND
AND AND WORK ON THE BILL SO I
APPRECIATE THAT -- AND AND SO I
LOOK FORWARD TO THAT
CONVERSATION I THINK THERE'S
THERE'S DEEP CONCERNS THIS IS
NOT JUST A BILL THAT REITERATES
EXISTING LAW.
THIS IS A BILL THAT DOES HARDEN
DOWN THE IDEA THAT THE CPC HAS
POWER. TO COMPEL PROCUREMENT ON
BEHALF OF THE CCA WITHOUT AN
EXPLICIT AND STATED RIGHT FOR
THE CCA OR OR ANYONE ANY OTHER
TYPE OF PROVIDER TO SELF PROVIDE
FIRST.
AND THAT PRINCIPLE IS MISSING
FROM THE BILL IT WAS DESCRIBED
AS A BACKSTOP BILL BUT IT'S NOT
WRITTEN THAT WAY IT'S WRITTEN AS
BACKSTOPS IF THE CPUC CHOOSES TO
USE IT THAT WAY.
OR FOR PROCUREMENT OF THE CPC
CHOOSES TO USE IT THAT WAY
THAT'S A DEEP PROBLEM BECAUSE
THAT DOES OVERSTEP JURISDICTION
DRAMATICALLY COMPARED EXISTING
LAW.
ALL RIGHT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER MATHIS.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR -- MISTER
BURKE I'M NOT GONNA GET INTO THE
RE ITERATIONS OF I KNOW THIS
ISN'T YOUR BILL BUT I DO KNOW
THE AUTHOR WELL I'M ALSO OFFICES

HE SAID I KNOW.
OKAY WHERE INTERCHANGEABLE
SUNDAYS I WAS LOOKING AT HER.
WE CAN ALL JOKE ABOUT IT BUT
MISS BURKE I I KNOW YOU'VE --
YOU WHEN I ATTENDED THE DEAL WE
SCHOOL FOR LEGISLATURE'S AND I
UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE A KEEN
UNDERSTANDING OF ENERGY -- AS
WELL AS I DO AND I KNOW THAT MR
GARCIA -- IS ALWAYS WILLING TO
WORK HARD ON THESE SSUES -- AND
REALLY DRAW EVERYBODY TO THE
TABLE AND I KNOW IT'S HARD. TO
GET ALL THE PIECES RIGHT AS WE
MOVE FORWARD -- BUT THE ONLY WAY
TO REALLY TRULY HAVE THE
CONVERSATION IS TO RUN THE BILL
AND TO HAVE THE COMMITTEE
HEARINGS AND EVERYTHING ELSE --
SO ALSO FOR THE BILL TODAY --
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED
IN THE CONVERSATION AS IT MOVES
FORWARD THANK YOU.
THANK YOU AND JUST AND JUST FOR
CLARIFICATION UP AND SINCE MARCH
WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TAKE
AUTHOR MEMBERS WE BEEN TAKING
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS BUT WE DO

THINK THERE'S A REAL ISSUE HERE
SO I'M GLAD THAT HE BROUGHT THE
BILL FORWARD.
AND I'M ALSO VERY GRATEFUL THAT
HE TOOK THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS --
BUT I AND I AM GOING TO SUPPORT
THE BILL TODAY BECAUSE I THINK
IT'S A CONVERSATION THAT NEEDS
TO CONTINUE ISSUES WITH THE
OPPONENTS -- SO THAT THEY CAN
GET THE BILL YOU KNOW.
A PAST AND OUT OF THE
LEGISLATURE THINK WITHOUT DID WE

YEAH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM CHAIR
AND MEMBERS AB SIX SIXTY DIRECTS
THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION
BY TWENTY THIRTY TO INCREASE THE
SOLAR REFLECTANCE REQUIREMENT
FOR STEEP ROOFS.
ON EXISTING NON RESIDENTIAL AND
RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA.
ENERGY EFFICIENT RUSS ARE ALSO
KNOWN AS COOL ROOFS THESE RIFFS
ARE DESIGNED TO REFLECT MORE
SUNLIGHT ABSORB LESS HEAT THAN A
STANDARDROOF.
THESE PROPERTIES HELP LOWER ROOF
AN ATTIC TEMPERATURES ON HOT
SEVENTY DAYS TO REDUCE THE NEED
FOR AIR CONDITIONING.
THE CURRENT REAL FLAT REFLECTING
STANDARD FOR BOTH NON
RESIDENTIAL AND LOW RISE
RESIDENTIAL IS 20% THIS BILL
SENSIBLE 40% BY THE END OF THE
NEXT DECADE WITH ME TO DESCRIBE.
THE BENEFITS OF INCREASING THE
CORE OF STANDARD IS DOCTOR RONIN
LEVINSON WITH LAWRENCE BERKELEY

THANK YOU LIKE MINUTES.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR UP MY NAME
IS FROM ELEVEN CINEMA STAFF

PRESENTED HERE ARE MINE IS AN
EXPERT OR NOT INTENDED TO
REFLECT ANY POSITION OF LAWRENCE

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA OR THE
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY.
RESIDENTIAL COOL REQUIREMENTS OF
INVOLVED A LITTLE SINCE THEY
WERE INTRODUCED IN CALIFORNIA'S
BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY
STANDARDS OVER A DECADE AGO.
TITLE TWENTY FOUR PART SIX
PRESCRIBE SCHOOL ROUTES FOR
HOMES IN ONLY SIX OF THE STATE'S
SIXTEEN CLIMATE ZONES.
BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL COST
BENEFIT ANALYSIS PERFORMED BY
LBNL FOR THE TWO THOUSAND EIGHT
TITLE TWENTY FOUR CODE CYCLE
INCLUDED TWO KEY ASSUMPTIONS.
FIRST IT MODEL NEW HOMES IN A
WELL INSULATED ROOFS RATHER THAN
EXISTING HOMES OF POORLY
INSULATED ROOFS.
CORPS OF PRODUCTS ARE MOST
EFFECTIVE WHEN ROOFS HAVE LITTLE
INSULATION.
SECOND IT MODELED LOWER
PERFORMANCE RESIDENTIAL COOL
ROOFING PRODUCTS H. SOUL
REFLECTANCE 20%.
RATHER THAN HIGHER PERFORMANCE
RESIDENTIAL PRODUCTS WITHIN H.
REFLECTANCE OF 40%.
OR PERFORMANCE RESIDENTIAL COOL
ROOF IS NO COOLER THAN A TYPICAL
COMMERCIAL BUILDING GRAY ROOF.
AND AS MUCH WARMER THAN A
TYPICAL COMMERCIAL BUILDING
WHITE COOL ROOF.
A RECENT STUDY PUBLISHED BY LBNL
IN THE PEER REVIEWED JOURNAL
ENERGY AND BUILDINGS FOUNDER
EARLIER ANNOUNCES SUBSTANTIALLY
UNDER ESTIMATED THE POTENTIAL
BENEFITS OF RESIDENTIAL COOL
ROOFS. FOR HOMEOWNERS TENANTS
AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
THE KEY POINTS.
ABOUT 90% OF RESIDENTIAL ROOF
SURFACING MATERIAL SOLD IN
CALIFORNIA EACH YEAR IS
INSTALLED ON EXISTING HOMES.
THE BENEFIT OF A COOL RIFF
PRODUCT ON AN EXISTING HOME.
IS ABOUT TWO TO FOUR TIMES THAT
OF THE SAME PRODUCT ON A NEW
HOME.
ALSO THE BENEFIT OF A HIGHER
PERFORMANCE RESIDENTIAL COOL
ROOF PRODUCT IS ABOUT THREE
TIMES THAT OF A LOWER
PERFORMANCE RESIDENTIAL COOL
ROOF PRODUCTS.
CONSIDERATION OVER THE NEXT
TWELVE YEARS FOR TRAINING --
CODE CYCLES TO RAISING PRODUCT
PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR
RESIDENTIAL COOL ROOF RETROFITS.
AND EXPANDING THE RANGE OF
CLIMATE ZONES TO WHICH THESE REP
REQUIREMENTS APPLY IT YOUR TIME
IS UP IF YOU CAN FINISH UP WE
JUST FINISHING THE SENTENCE
COULD SUBSTANTIALLY BOOST THE
ENERGY CALL ROOF ENERGY COST
SAVINGS ENJOYED BY HOMEOWNERS
ATTENDANCE AND HELP CALIFORNIA
MEET ITS SB THREE FIFTY GOAL.
OF DOUBLING ENERGY EFFICIENCY BY
TWENTY THREE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IS THERE
ANYBODY ELSE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK
IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL.
IS THERE ANYBODY HERE TO SPEAK
IN OPPOSITION TO THE BILL.

SIXTEEN FORTY FOUR YES THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS AT FOURTEEN FORTY SIX
REVISED OUTDATED STATUTORY
LANGUAGE REGARDING THE
EXTRACTION OF OIL AND GAS IN
CALIFORNIA. TO PRIORITIZE PUBLIC
HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION OVER COMMERCIAL
INTEREST IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT
THE STATUTORY LANGUAGE PROMOTING
IN PRIORITIZING OIL AND GAS
EXTRACTION IN THIS THAT THIS
BILL WOULD CHANGE WAS ENACTED.
BEFORE TRANSPORTATION RELATED
SMOG AND THE GOAL OF THE LOS
ANGELES BASED IN THE NINETEEN
SIXTIES.
AND BEFORE CALIFORNIA ENACTED
THE FIRST TAILPIPE EMISSIONS
STANDARD IN.
NINETEEN SIXTY SIX END BEFORE
THE SANTA BARBARA OIL SPILL OF
NINETEEN SIXTY NINE AND THE
ENSUING STATE MORATORIUM ON
OFFSHORE DRILLING.
AB FOURTEEN FORTY IS ESSENTIALLY
A CAPSTONE ON ENVIRONMENTAL
STEWARDSHIP AND PUBLIC HEALTH
AWARENESS EFFORTS THAT TOOK
SHAPE IN EARNEST IN THE NINETEEN
SEVENTIES AND HAVE GROWN IN
SUBSEQUENT DECADES.
THIS BILL IS ENTIRELY IN KEEPING
WITH THE SENTIMENTS OF
CALIFORNIANS AT THE CLOSE OF THE
SECOND DECADE OF THE CENTURY.
WITH ME TODAY ARE TO
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE SPONSORS
OF THIS LEGISLATION AND
ALEXANDER WITH AND ARE DO YOU
SEE AND BILL ELIUD OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP.
THANK YOU I AM BILL ALLEY --
WITH THE EWG THE AIM AND
SUBSTANCE OF AB FOURTEEN FORTY A
STRAIGHT FORWARD TO MODERNIZE
THE STATUTES REGULATING OIL AND
GAS DEVELOPMENT BY REMOVING
LANGUAGE IT'S AN ARTIFACT WITH
VERY DIFFERENT TIME IN OUR
HISTORY.
EARLY IN THE LAST CENTURY
AGENCIES REGULATING OIL AND GAS
PRODUCTION CALIFORNIA TWO MAIN
GOALS TO EVENT THE KIND OF HARM
TO OIL AND GAS RESERVES THAT CAN
HAPPEN AND AND REGULATED.
DRILLING FREE FOR ALL AND TO
MAXIMIZE EXTRACTION WHICH COULD
ALSO MEAN MORE REVENUE TO THE
STATE.
THESE MAY HAVE BEEN FINE GOALS
AT THE TIME THAT DRILLING FREE
FOR ALLS ARE NO LONGER HAPPENING
THANKS IN SIGNIFICANT PART. TO
THE EVOLVING OF DOCTOR THE
DIVISION OF OIL AND GAS EIGHTY
YEARS LATER WE NOW UNDERSTAND
MORE ABOUT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY
CONCERNS THAT ACTUALLY ATTEND
THESE DRILLING OPERATIONS.
A REGULATORY STATE AGENCIES
SHOULD NOT HAVE A GOAL OF
ALLOWING THE MAXIMUM OUT OF OIL
AND GAS. TO BE EXTRACTED OUT OF
THE GROUND BUT INSTEAD TO ALLOW
EXTRACTION IN A MATTER THAT IS
SAFE TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND TO
RESIDENTS NEAR THE DRILLING --
THIS A THESE THIS BILL AS PART
OF A REFORMED ONGOING REFORM TO
DOCTOR THEY'VE COME A LONG WAYS
IN THE LAST EIGHT YEARS WE URGE
YOUR AYE VOTE TO KEEP THAT
REFORM GOING.
IN ALL TURNED OVER TO MY CO
SPONSOR FOR THE REST OF THE
STORY.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I'M AND ALEXANDER WITH
THE NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE
COUNCIL.
AB FOURTEEN FORTIES PURPOSE IS
VERY SIMPLE IT IS AIMED AT
MODERNIZING AND CLARIFYING THE
MISSION STATEMENTS AND FINDINGS
AND THE STATUTES THAT GOVERN OIL
AND GAS PRODUCTION IN CALIFORNIA.
IT WOULD DO THAT FIRST BY
ELIMINATING LANGUAGE AND BOTH
THE DOCTOR STATUTE AND THE STATE
LANDS COMMISSION STATUTE.
THAT ARTICULATE AND OUTDATED
POLICY OF MAXIMIZING OIL AND GAS
PRODUCTION AND SECONDLY IT WOULD
CLARIFY THE CURRENT DUAL MANDATE
IN THE DOCTOR STATUTE BY
pAND SAFETY SHOULD BE GIVEN
PRIMACY IN AGENCY DECISION
MAKING.
WHICH IS OF COURSE SOUND
PRACTICE FOR ANY MODERN
REGULATORY AGENCY.
NOW TO BE EQUALLY CLEAR ABOUT
WHAT THIS LEGISLATION WOULD NOT
DO -- FOURTEEN FORTY WOULD
CREATE NO NEW PROCESS SEES OR
REVIEW REQUIREMENTS AND IT DOES
NOT STATE A POLICY EITHER
AGAINST OR IN FAVOR OF
CALIFORNIA PRODUCTION IT'S
SIMPLY RENDERS THE STATUTE
NEUTRAL ON THAT POLICY QUESTION
IS IT SHOULD BE.
THESE CHANGES ARE VERY SIMILAR
IN SPIRIT TO REFORMS THAT WERE
JUST SIGNED INTO LAW IN THE
STATE OF COLORADO.
MUCH ALIKE AB FOURTEEN FORTY
COLORADO'S SB ONE EIGHTY ONE
ELIMINATED A REQUIREMENT THAT
THE REGULATORY AGENCY QUOTE
UNQUOTE FOSTER OIL AND GAS
DEVELOPMENT THAT'S CREATING A
COMPETING MANDATE.
OF THE SORT THAT WE HAVE HERE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER LEVINE STAFF AND
THE SPONSORS -- HAVE BEEN IN
DISCUSSIONS WITH DOCTOR
REGARDING SOME RELATIVELY MINOR
CHANGES TO IMPROVE THE
LEGISLATION AND WE ANTICIPATE
THOSE WILL CONTINUE.
AND WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE MR
LEVINE SUPPORT FOR THIS COMMON
SENSE PROPOSAL TO BRING
CALIFORNIA'S LAWS GOVERNING OIL
AND GAS PRODUCTION INTO THE
TWENTIETH CENTURY TWENTY FIRST
CENTURY.
WAIT RESPECTFULLY URGE YOUR AYE
VOTE.
ANYONE ELSE IN SUPPORT.
PLEASE JUST YOUR NAME AND
ORGANIZATION ANDREY WILL WITH
ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND HERE
IN SUPPORT THANK YOU
[inaudible]
YEAH.
MELISSA ROMERO WITH THE
CALIFORNIA LEAGUE OF

BRIAN A WIKI WITH THE CENTER FOR
BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY IN SUPPORT.
THANK YOU OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU TWO MINUTES EACH.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS -- PF ANY THOMAS.
REPRESENTING THE CALIFORNIA
INDEPENDENT PETROLEUM
ASSOCIATION.
I WERE IN OPPOSITION.
TO AB ONE FOREIGN -- ONE FOUR
FOUR ZERO IT IN THE BILL AS
AMENDED VERSION MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS -- IT'S SOMEWHAT
CONFUSING FOR EXAMPLE ACTUAL
SECTION THIRTY ONE SIXTY OF THE
PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE -- DOES A
COUPLE OF THINGS ONE IT PROVIDES
A BALANCE IN PRODUCTION AND THE
AUTHORITY TO IMPLEMENT THE
SAFEST OIL IN AFTER GAS PRETTY
PRODUCED IN OUR NATION.
THE SECOND THING THAT IT DOES IT
IS APPROVED IT IS IMPROVE IT IS
PRUDENT.
IN ITS REALITY OF RISK IN THE
INDUSTRY THAT WE DO HAVE.
HOWEVER WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO TO
PAGE FOUR OF THE BILL PAGE.
FOUR LINES ONE THROUGH THREE
SMALL DE.
THEY'VE BEEN DELETED FROM THE
BILL.
NOW WHAT'S BEEN DELETED IS AS
FOLLOWS TO BEST MEET ALL THE GAS
NEEDS IN THE STATE.
THE SUPERVISOR THE DOCTOR
SUPERVISOR SHALL ADMINISTER THIS
DIVISIONS SO AS TO ENCOURAGE THE
WISE DEVELOPMENT.
THE WISE DEVELOPMENT OF OIL AND
GAS RESOURCES.
IF IT IS ON THE TERM WISE
DEVELOPMENT.
BEING THE OPTIMAL TERM.
IF WE AREN'T WISELY DEVELOPING
OIL AND GAS AND THAT'S BEEN
REMOVED FROM THE BILL THAN WHAT
WE GOING TO DO IN SO FAR AS
DEVELOPING FALLING GAS.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH MEDIAN NEEDS
OF THE STATE IN A SAFE AND WEISS
MATTER I ASKED.
IF THE BILL IS SIGNED INTO LAW.
IT WILL BE A BLANKET GOLD LIGHT
FOR IMPORTS MEMBERS WE CURRENTLY
PAY EIGHTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS A
DAY.
WE PAY EIGHTY SIX MILLION
DOLLARS A DAY FOR IMPORTS.
IF THE POLICY IS TO KEEP IT IN
THE GROUND THEN MAKE THAT VERY
CLEAR AND THEN WE CAN HAVE THAT
POLICY DISCUSSION THIS IS WHAT
THIS BILL IN A BERKELEY DOES.
BY CHANGING THE TERM MAXIMUM OUT
OF THE IN FACT.
OTHER THE MISSION STATEMENT SO
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO ENTER BUT
ALL OF US ARE GONE.
IN THE FUTURE WHO'S GOING
INTERPRET WHAT MINIMUM IS WHAT
MAXIMUM IS BUT THE MIDDLE LINE
IS SO AS I CLOSE THIS BILL MAY
IN FACT PASSED OUT OF COMMITTEE.
BUT I THINK THE RESIDENTS OF THE
STATE DESERVE A CLEAR
EXPLANATION OF WHAT COMES NEXT
IF WE IN FACT LOSE PRODUCTION IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
IN CLOSING I WOULD JUST SAYS IS
THE JOB OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO ASSIST IN MEETING
THE ENERGY NEEDS AND DEMANDS OF
THE RESIDENTS.
HI BUT SAY AFFIRMATIVE. FOURTEEN
FORTY FOUR DOES NOTHING OF THAT
SORT NOW WHEN COURAGE NO VOTE ON
THE BILL.
THANK YOU.
MANAGER MEMBERS THE LEGACY FOR
THE WESTERN STATES PETROLEUM
ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING THE
STATE'S MAJOR OIL.
PRODUCERS AND REFINERS IN
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL AND JUST --
BY WAY OF FROM HISTORY OF FROM
HER PERSPECTIVE -- THE
ASSEMBLYMAN MENTIONED ALL OF THE
THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED SINCE.
OF THAT STATUTE WAS --
IMPLEMENTED OR PUT AN INPUT IN
STATUTE.
I THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO
NOTE THAT.
CALIFORNIA HAS A HISTORY OF
DEVELOPING ITS.
HYDROCARBON RESOURCES IT HAS HAD
A HISTORY AND HAD A GROWTH
BECAUSE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF
ITS HYDROCARBON RESOURCES.
WHEN THIS BILL LANGUAGE IS PUT
IN STATURE TO WISELY DEVELOP ITS
RESOURCES?
A COUPLE THINGS WILL SAID AS WE
DEVELOP THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA.
WE BUILT ADEQUATE DUCT WE BUILT
A HIGHWAY SYSTEM WE DID A LOT OF
MONUMENTAL THINGS IN CALIFORNIA
IN A LARGE PART DUE TO THE
RESOURCES THAT WERE DEVELOPED IN
STATE.
SO WE WE APPRECIATE THE IDEA OF
MODERNIZING OUR STATUTE.
BUT WE DON'T MODERNIZE BY GOING
IN AND JUST EXCISING A PIECE OF
THE STATUE WE DO A BY
RECOGNIZING.
HOW WE DEVELOPED OUR REGULATORY
STRUCTURE?
IN THE LAST TEN YEARS.
THE DEVELOP THE PRODUCTION OF
OIL AND GAS IS UNDERGONE A
TREMENDOUS TREMENDOUS --
RESTRUCTURING.
MANY OF BILLS THAT YOU ALL VOTED
FOR SB FOUR SB.
TWELVE EIGHTY ONE THE PUSH FOR
THE COMPLETELY RESTRUCTURING OF
THE UNDERGROUND TRACTION CONTROL
PROGRAM WE HAVE COMPLETELY
RESTRUCTURED HOW WE REGULATE OIL
AND GAS IN CALIFORNIA LAST TEN
YEARS.
AND THAT'S NOT BECAUSE WE GO
BACK TO THE DIGITAL OIL AND GAS
AND AND EXCISE OUT PART OF ITS
MISSION WE ADD TO THAT WE'VE
ADDED.
THE VERY VERY MUCH A STRONG ROLE.
FOR THE REGIONALLY -- WATER
BOARDS THE STATE WATER BOARD THE
AIR RESOURCES BOARD THE
DEPARTMENT OF TOXIC STOP THE
SUBSTANCE CONTROL THEY ALL PLAY
SIGNIFICANT ROLES IN THE
PROTECTION.
OF THE OF OUR COMMUNITIES IN THE
PROTECTION OF OUR RESOURCES.
SO IT'S NOT SIMPLY LOOKING AT
THE DAHLE MANDATE -- THAT WOULD
BE INAPPROPRIATE TO SIMPLY LOOK
AT THE DIVISION ONE GAS AND SAY
WELL LET'S JUST TAKE THAT AWAY
AND WE'LL JUST DO IT THIS WAY
WE'VE ADDED AN ENTIRELY NEW
REGULATORY STRUCTURE ON TOP OF
THE DIVISION OF OIL AND GAS.
IN FACT BECAUSE OF BILLS THAT
YOU ALL HAVE APPROVED AND
BUDGETS OVER THE LAST.
I WOULD SAY FIVE YEARS.
YOU'VE TURNED WHAT -- THE
PRODUCTION OF OIL AND GAS INTO A
DATA GATHERING.
BUSINESS YEAR GATHERING NINE
BILLION DATA POINTS FROM OIL AND
GAS DEVELOPMENT EVERY YEAR.
HERE YOU'RE GETTING SO MUCH DATA
ABOUT WHERE YOU TO WHERE YOU
PRODUCE WHERE THE WATER IS THE
EMISSIONS.
HERE GETTING SO MUCH DATA THAT
YOU HAD TO BUILD AN ENTIRELY NEW.
DATA -- SYSTEM WHICH FEELING GAS
IS PAYING FOR SO THAT YOU CAN
TAKE IN THAT DATA FOR THE YOU
CAN.
USE IT.
NOT ONLY FOR REGULAR WOULD MAKE
AVAILABLE TO YOU AS POLICY
MAKERS AND TO THE PUBLIC.
SO THIS THE LANDSCAPE IN TERMS
OF OIL PRODUCTION IS COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT.
IT IS DIFFERENT THAN WHEN THE
STATUTE WAS ORIGINALLY.
PUT IN IN THE CODE BUT IT'S ALSO.
ONE IT SHOULD BE REFLECTED HOW
MUCH WORK IS BEING DONE NOW BY
OTHER.
BY ALL OF THE OTHER STATE
AGENCIES WE OPPOSE THIS BILL WAS
ONE MORE SECOND BECAUSE IT WILL
CREATE.
A HUGE AMOUNT OF REGULATORY
UNCERTAINTY FOR THE ACTUAL
DEVELOPMENT OF THE RESOURCE. FOR
THAT REASON WE OPPOSE THE BILL.
THANK YOU OTHERS IN OPPOSITION.
PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND
ORGANIZATION [inaudible]
AND POSITION.
WE ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WE OPPOSE
THIS BILL FOR THE REASONS STATED
THE REGULATORY UNCERTAINTY IS

THANK YOU PLEASE RISEN ASSEMBLY
BILL SIXTEEN SEVENTY THREE TO
THE COMMITTEE THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
THIS BILL WILL CREATE
TRANSPARENCY AROUND ANONYMOUS
SEQUEL LAWSUITS BY REQUIRING THE
DISCLOSURE THE PARTICIPATING
PARTIES WERE FUNDING SICK WHAT
CHALLENGES.
AN HONEST LAWSUITS ARE UNIQUE TO
SEEK WERE AND ARE RARELY ALLOWED
IN OTHER AREAS OF OUR LEGAL
SYSTEM.
IN FACT AB SIXTEEN SEVENTY THREE
IS CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT
JUDICIAL PRACTICE.
IN THE COUNTRY WHICH GENERALLY
DISAPPROVES OF ANONYMOUS
LITIGATION.
THE ABILITY FOR INDIVIDUALS OR
GROUPS TO FILE NONE OF US
LAWSUITS REPRESENTS.
A BLAME LACK OF TRANSPARENCY IN
OPENS THE DOOR FOR ABUSIVE
BEHAVIOR.
IN TWENTY FOURTEEN A DEVELOPER
WANTED TO TURN A RUNDOWN MOTEL
IN SAN DIEGO.
INTO A TRANSITIONAL CENTER FOR
THE HOMELESS EVEN THOUGH THE
CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE
PROJECT.
THE GROUP OF OWNER HOMEOWNERS
FILED AN ANONYMOUS EQUAL LAWSUIT
UNDER THE GUISE OF AN EVENT OF
AN ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP.
WELL THE JUDGE EVENTUALLY
THROUGHOUT THE CASE THE DELAY
LASTED SIX MONTHS AND DROVE THE
PROJECT TO THE BRINK OF
FINANCIAL COLLAPSE.
IN AN EXTREME CASE AN OBSCURE
ENTITY CALLED BETTER
NEIGHBORHOODS FILED NUMEROUS
SEQUEL LAWSUITS AGAINST PROJECTS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE TO EXTRACT.
SETTLEMENT PAYMENTS FROM
DEVELOPERS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
THE BETTER NEIGHBORHOODS GROUP
WAS EVENTUALLY TRACED BACK TO A
DISBARRED LAWYER.
WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY DEFRAUDED HIS
CLIENTS?
THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE OF
ANONYMOUS EQUAL LAWSUITS CAN
OCCUR JUST BAD BEHAVIOR AND
ALLOW FOR ABUSE.
THIS PRACTICE DEPRIVE THE PUBLIC
IN THE COURTS OF RELEVANT
INFORMATIONWHEN DEALING WITH
SEQUEL.
THE INTENTIONS OF PEOPLE FILING
SEQUEL LAWSUIT SHOULD BE MADE
CLEAR TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE
CHALLENGING PROJECTS BASED ON
LEGITIMATE ENVIRONMENTAL
CONCERNS.
AB SIXTEEN SEVENTY THREE WOULD
CREATE TRANSPARENCY WITH OUR
LEGAL SYSTEM BY REQUIRING THE
DIRECT FUNDERS OF A CIVIL
LAWSUIT. TO DISCLOSE THEIR
IDENTITY.
IN ADDITION THIS BILL
SPECIFICALLY ALLOWS THE COURT TO
WIT HOLD PUBLIC DISCLOSURE IF
THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
IS CAPTAIN KEEPING THE
INFORMATION CONFIDENTIAL.
THIS PRESERVES A NON ENTITY.
AND LEGITIMATE CASES WERE
DISCOURAGING ANY FUTURE ABUSIVE
BEHAVIOR MORE IMPORTANTLY THE
BILL DOES NOT WE CAN SEEK WELL
WE'RE STREAMLINED CERTAIN
PROJECTS IT'S SIMPLY CREATES
TRANSPARENCY.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE
TO HAVE A TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT.
AT WRIGLEY ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF.
OBSTACLE SINCE ITS INCEPTION
ALMOST FIVE DECADES AGO HAS
OPERATED AS A THE LIGHTING LAW
THAT.
ENGAGE THE PUBLIC IN A OPEN
PROCESS WHICH ALLOWS THE PUBLIC
AND LEAD AGENCIES TO ANALYZE
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS --
MITIGATE THOSE ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACTS IF THEY ARE SIGNIFICANT
TO THE EXTENT FEASIBLE AND SIX
PUBLIC COMMENT -- IT ALSO ALLOWS
CITIZENS TO ENFORCE WERE.
IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST THE
PROBLEM IS SEE WHO HAS THE
BROADEST STANDING REQUIREMENTS
OF ANY OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
IN THE COUNTRY IT IS NOT
UNCOMMON. FOR THOSE SIMPLY
OPPOSED. TO A PARTICULAR
DEVELOPMENT TO UTILIZE SEEK WORK
TOMORROW PROMOTE THEIR PRIVATE
INTEREST.
UNDER THE GUISE OF THE PUBLIC
INTEREST.
AND TEY DO SO ENTIRELY
ANONYMOUSLY AND OFTEN UNDERSTOOD --
NAMES CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR
THE PURPOSES OF DISGUISING THEIR
PRIVATE INTERESTS.
HOW DO I KNOW I USED TO ACTUALLY
LITIGATE?
DOING THAT VERY THING.
NO OTHER CITIZEN'S SUIT
PROVISION ALLOWS THIS NOT THE
CLEAN AIR ACT CLEAN WATER ACT
THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT OR
EVEN SEEK WAS IT NATIONAL
COUNTERPART THE NATIONAL OF OUR
MIDDLE POLICY ACT.
THIS BILL DOES NOTHING MORE THAN
A LINE SYKORA WITH ALL OTHER
ENVIRONMENTAL CITIZENS WHO
PROVISIONS BY REQUIRING
DISCLOSURE OF THOSE DIRECTLY
FUNDING THE LOSSES.
IT DOES NOT A ROAD OR EXEMPT ANY
SUBSTANTIVE REQUIREMENTS OF
SEQUEL IT DOES NOT CHANGE
MITIGATION MEASURES.
NOR DOES IT AS SOME OPPONENTS OF
SAID REQUIRE INDIVIDUAL
MEMBERSHIP DISCLOSURE THE
EXPRESS LANGUAGE OF THIS BILL
ONLY REQUIRES DISCLOSURE.
OF THE PERSONS OR ENTITIES
CONTRIBUTE DIRECTLY TO THE
LAWSUIT THAT DOES NOT.
COUNT FOR MEMBERSHIP DUES OR ANY
OTHER UNION DUES.
YOU MAY ALSO HEAR FIRST
AMENDMENT ARGUMENTS THAT THIS
BILL IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL CITING
A SIXTY YEAR OLD SUPREME COURT
CASE. TO BE CLEAR THAT CASE DOES
NOT BAR DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT
LAWS IF THEY DID EVERY OTHER
CITIZEN'S SUIT PROVISION UNDER
ALL THE FEDERAL NORMAL LAWS I'VE
JUST I'VE STATED EARLIER WOULD
BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
THAT COURT CASE AND DOUBLE ACP
VERSUS PATTERSON SIMPLY SAYS
IT'S A BALANCING TEST AND
DISCLOSURE SHOULD OUTWEIGH
ANONYMITY.
THAT IS WHY UNDER THIS BILL.
IT PROVIDES AN ADDITIONAL LAYER
PROTECTION THAT ALLOWS THE COURT
TO WITHHOLD DISCLOSURE IF IT
FINDS THE PUBLIC INTEREST IN
KEEPING THAT INFORMATION
CONFIDENTIAL CLEARLY OUTWEIGHS
THE PUBLIC.
INTEREST.
TRANSPARENCY THE HALLMARK OF
GOOD GOVERNANCE AND WE SUPPORT
SEE WHAT TRANSPARENCY WE HOPE
YOU SUPPORT THIS BILL THANK YOU
THANK YOU ANYONE ELSE IN
OPPOSITION.
HI TODD DAVID ONLY HALF THE BAY
AREA HOUSING ADVOCACY COALITION
APART RIGHT.
LET ME DESCRIBE MYSELF I JUST
ASKED FOR ANYONE ELSE IN A
POSITION TO KNOW IF YOU KNOW
YOUR SUPPORT YEAH YES.
ON OKAY IN CS SO TIGHT EVEN WE
HAVE THE BAY AREA HOUSING UP TO
SEE COALITION AND SO I DON'T I
WANT TO REITERATE EVERYTHING
THAT WAS SAID I TOTALLY GREAT.
THIS ONE TO GIVE A COUPLE OF
VERY CONCRETE EXAMPLES OF HOW
WE'VE GOTTEN TO A PLACE WERE
REALLY IMPORTANT PIECE OF OB
LEGISLATION. TO PROTECT THE
ENVIRONMENT IT CAN OFTEN BE
WEAPONIZED TO DO ALMOST THE
EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT IT WAS
MEANT TO DO.
RIGHT SO WE KNOW ON ALMOST EVERY
EVERY RESPECTFUL ENVIRONMENTAL
GROUP LOOKS TO SEE WHAT AND SAYS
THAT WE'VE GOT TO BE BUILDING
MORE URBAN INFILL HOUSE LIKE.
BUT 87% A SEQUEL LAWSUIT
LAWSUITS ARE TARGETED AT URBAN
INFILL HOUSING.
SO THERE IS THE WEAPONIZATION OF
MISUSE OF THE C. QUOTE THAT IS
ACTUALLY ADDING UP HURTING OUR
ENVIRONMENT.
AND I THINK THAT THE GOES PRETTY
CLEARLY ARE JUST THE HUMAN
EXPERIENCES.
ANONYMOUS AND THE NAME OF THE
LEADS TO THE WORST BEHAVIOR.
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE WAY PEOPLE
BEHAVE ONLINE THEY DON'T HAVE TO
PUT THEIR NAME ON SOMETHING IT
JUST INCENTIVIZE IS THE ABSOLUTE
WORST BEHAVIOR?
IN SAN FRANCISCO LAST WEEK THERE
WAS A SIXTY THREE UNITS.
OF HOUSING PROJECT 25% OF WHICH
WAS AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS.
AND A SEQUEL LAWSUIT WAS BROUGHT
TO STOP IT BECAUSE IT CAST A
SHADOW ON ONE THIRD OF THE
BASKETBALL COURT. FOR ONE
HUNDRED MINUTES ON THE LONGEST
DAY OF THE YEAR.
AND IT WAS STOPPED. SIXTY THREE
YOU HAVE IT'S ABOUT SIXTY THREE
UNITS OF DESPERATELY NEEDED
URBAN INFILL HOUSING IN SAN
FRANCISCO WAS STOPPED BECAUSE A
SHADOW.
WAS FOR ONE HUNDRED MINUTES.
ON THE LONGEST DAY OF THE YEAR.
PREVIOUS TO THAT.
BOB HABITAT FOR HUMANITY HAD A
PROJECT IN REDWOOD CITY.
THAT WAS REALLY BUILD TWENTY
UNITS OF WELL IN MIDDLE INCOME
HOUSING THAT WAS THE LEAD FOR
SIXTEEN MONTHS.
pI THINK IS A REALLY SMART FIRST
STEP.
IT SEEMS LIKE THE MOST OBVIOUS
THE MOST EGREGIOUS MISUSES OF
SEQUEL ARE DONE IN A NOT TO MISS
NATURE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU OTHERS IN OPPOSITION
PLEASE JUST THE YOUR NAME
ORGANIZATION A POSITION.
WHEN IT WAS LIKE A VIRGIN WITH
THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
REALTORS IN SUPPORT?
THANK YOU THANK YOU.
TURNING TO THE CALIFORNIA PART
OF THE SOLUTION HERE SUPPORT.
SECOND NOT KNOCK IT OVER HERE

SAN DIEGO ALL SOME SUPPORT.
SAYS THE MATTER THAT LIGHT HOUSE
PUBLIC AFFAIRS HERE ON BEHALF OF
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
CALIFORNIANS PART.
OKAY THERE'S ANSWERED THE CHARM
ANYONE ELSE OF THE PART
[inaudible]
OPPOSITION
.
OKAY.
GOOD AFTERNOON BRENNAN DAWSON
FOR SIERRA CLUB CALIFORNIA.
WE RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THIS BILL
IN OUR VIEW -- THE BILL DOES SET
UP WHILE DOESN'T LOOK AT THE
FIRST AMENDMENT ARGUE -- BECAUSE
ANONYMOUS SPEECH IS PROTECTED
SPEECH UNDER THE FIRST AMENDMENT --
AND FUNDING.
LAWSUIT IS ANONYMOUSLY IS A
CLEARLY A FORMER SPEECH AND
ACTIVITY IT DOESN'T OKAY --
FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY AND THE
FREEDOM ASSOCIATION -- BUT OTHER
THAN THAT IT'S ALSO A KIND OF AN
UNWORKABLE BILL INTO ACTUAL IN
ACTUALITY -- FIRST OFF I WANT
PUSH BACK ON THE ANONYMOUS --
HOW ENORMOUSLY FUNDING SECRET
LAWSUIT IS BECOMING A DETRIMENT
TO HOUSING PROJECTS -- IF A
DEVELOPER WOULD LIKE TO BUILD A
HOUSING PROJECT ARE.
SEVENTEEN OR SO EXEMPTIONS UNDER
SEQUEL FOR HOUSING PROJECTS
ALONE -- SPECIFICALLY ONCE
TARGETING INFILL PROJECTS ON
THEREFORE THEY WOULDN'T EVEN
HAVE TO UNDERGO THE SECRET
PROCESS THE AND THEY COULD BLOCK
PASSING SEQUEL LAWSUITS BECAUSE
IT'S ALREADY A STATUTORY
EXEMPTION AVAILABLE --
ADDITIONALLY THIS BILL WOULD
DETRIMENT ENVIRONMENT A
COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
COMMUNITIES AS WELL AS OF
AFFORDABLE COMMUNITIES --
BECAUSE THOSE COMMUNITIES RELY
ON SELF -- SELF ENACTED
BASICALLY SEE WAS A SELF IN
ACTING.
UP ENFORCEMENT LOS LAW AND IT
REQUIRES THE PUBLIC TO COME
FORTH IN BECAUSE ANYONE CAN
ACTUALLY BRING A LAWSUIT IN THE
NAME SI KHOA.
THAN.
BY REQUIRING THE ON BY REQUIRING
SOMEONE TO DISCLOSE WHO IS
FINDING THAT LAWSUIT YOU'RE
BASICALLY REQUIRING PLAINTIFFS
TO GO OUT AND SAY.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANY
INFORMATION -- ON WHO GAVE ANY
AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THIS TYPE OF
LAWSUIT -- AND THAT IS WHAT
HAPPENS Là ENVIRONMENTAL
ENVIRONMENTAL LOCAL COMMUNITIES
WHERE THESE PEOPLE ARE COMING
OUT AND THEY'RE BASICALLY.
SELF FINANCING THESE PROJECTS --
AND SO FOR THOSE REASONS WE
OPPOSE THE BILL -- PRIMARILY
BEFORE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T GET
THE FIRST MEMBER BUT ALSO
BECAUSE IT.
IS ON WORKABLE -- AND I WOULD
LIKE TO KNOW IT DOES NOT.
ACTUALLY -- AFFECT A SEQUEL
LAWSUIT STILL ACTUALLY AFFECT
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN THE WAY
THAT SOME THE UPON PROPONENTS
WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE YOU BELIEVE
I WOULD.
RECOMMEND THAT YOU LOOK AT SOME
OBJECTIVE -- LITIGATION FACTS
THAT HAVE BEEN DONE BY NOT ONLY

HOWARD TERMINAL SITE.
IN OAKLAND TO INCLUDE A BASEBALL
BALLPARK. FOR THE OAKLAND
ATHLETICS AS WELL AS MUCH NEEDED
HOUSING INCLUDING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING.

AUTHORIZATION TO THE STATE LANDS
COMMISSION TO DETERMINE THE
TITLE AND BOUNDARY UNCERTAINTIES
AS IT RELATES TO THE HOWARD

APPROVE.
A TRUST EXCHANGE.
THE BILL DOES NOT REMOVE THE
STATE LANDS COMMISSION AUTHORITY
TO REVIEW AND APPROVE EITHER THE
PROPOSED EXCHANGE OR THE TRUST
CONSISTENCY.
OF PROPOSE USES ON TRUST LANDS
NOR DOES THIS BILL SEEK TO
REMOVE BC DC'S AUTHORITY.
THE PROJECT REQUIRES A

AUTHORITY.
AND THIS PROPOSED BILL.
THE CITY THE ETS THE PORT THE

AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORK

GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS I'M BISHOP BOB
JACKSON PASTERNAK'S FULL GOSPEL
CHURCH IN EAST OAKLAND I'M HERE
TO OPPOSE A. B..
ELEVEN NINETY ONE AB ELEVEN
NINETY ONE PLANS TO FACILITATE
THE BENEFITS OF DEVELOPMENT OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMERCIAL
REAL ESTATE AND A WORLD CLASS
STADIUM FOR OPEN.
IN REALITY THIS LEGISLATION WILL
HARM CURRENT RESIDENT AS IT
WOULD LEAD TO THE CONSTRUCTION
OF LUXURY HOMES RESIDENTS CANNOT
AFFORD AND THE BAND THE MEN OF
THE EAST OAKLAND COMMUNITY.
THERE IS A LACK OF
PRIORITIZATION ON AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IN OAKLAND'S EAST
OAKLAND ESPECIALLY WITH ONLY 7%
OF PROJECTED BUILDINGS RESERVE
FOR LOW INCOME FAMILIES.
PUTTING CURRENT RESIDENCE AT
RISK OF BEING PRICED OUT BY
RAPIDLY GROWING BAY AREA PRICING.
GENTRIFICATION IS ONLY WORKS IN
THIS ISSUE AND HAVING BEEN A
PART OF THE STOKE ON FOR DECADES
I CAN SAY WE DO NOT NEED A PIECE
OF LEGISLATION.
THAT WILL ONLY EXACERBATE THE
EFFECTS OF GENTRIFICATION WITH A
LUXURY HOMES IS THAT A FORCE IN
THE CHOICE BETWEEN THE WILL.
THE WELL BEING OF OPEN RESIDENTS
IN A WORLD CLASS STADIUM
SUITABLE FOCUS MAYES AN IDEAL
OPTION IS RE DEBT REDEVELOPING
AND INVESTING IN THE EXISTING.
OAKLAND ALAMEDA COUNTY COLISEUM.
THE COLISEUM HAS BEEN HOME TO
THE OPEN A SINCE THEY PLAYED
THEIR FIRST GAME THERE IN
NINETEEN SIXTY SIX AND BOTH THE
STADIUM AND THE TEAM OR ENTER
CALL PARTS AT LEAST OPENS
IDENTITY AND HISTORY.
IN PARTICULAR THE COLISEUM
BROUGHT WITH IT INITIAL PROMISES
OF NEW PUBLIC TRANSIT AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT
JUSTIFIED USING EMINENT DOMAIN
TO DISPLACE EAKES.
HE'S OAKLAND RESIDENTS MANY
DECADES AGO.
AB ELEVEN NINETY ONE IS
ESSENTIALLY FOR SAKE IN THIS
PART OF EAST OPENS LEGACY A
LEGACY THAT SHOULD BE
REINVIGORATED WITH NEW ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY.
HAVING THE OAKLAND EIGHTIES
REMAIN AND AND REDEVELOP THE
CURRENT SITE WITH ADDITIONAL
HOUSING AND COMMERCIAL REAL
ESTATE WILL HONOR THAT HISTORY
AND REVITALIZED EAST OAKLAND
WITH A WORLD CLASS STADIUM
SURROUNDED BY HOUSING
RESTAURANTS AND ENTERTAINMENT.
IT WOULD BE A MUCH NEEDED
INVESTMENT AND TO THE EAST
OAKLAND COMMUNITY I URGE THE
COMMUNITY TO RECONSIDER A. B.
ELEVEN NINETY ONE FOR THE SAKE
OF CURRENT RESIDENTS WHO CALL
OAKLAND.
THEIR HOME.
THANK YOU A GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM
CHAIR MEMBERS MIGHT TAKE ABOUT
THE PACIFIC MERCHANT SHIPPING
ASSOCIATION REPRESENT WHICH
CARRIES MARINE TERMINAL OPERATOR
TENANTS AT THE PORT OF OAKLAND --
AND WHERE OPPOSE THIS
LEGISLATION -- BEFORE IT HAPPENS
WITH I WANT.
TO SAY THANK YOU TO ASSEMBLY
MEMBER BONTA FOR THE THOUGHT
AUTHORS MA'AM IF YOU -- TO WITH
RESPECT WOULD BE CDC LANGUAGE --
OUR OUR CONCERNS ARE ABOUT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE BEING
POTENTIALLY INCONSISTENT WITH --
THE THE CDC SEAPORT PLAN --
INCONSISTENT WITH THE THAILAND'S
TRUST -- WHAT YOU HEARD FROM THE
BILL'S SPONSORS TODAY --
PRESENTS A PLAN WHICH IS
INCONSISTENT BOTH WITH THE
TITANS TRUST IN THE CURRENT BE
CDC PLAN -- THIS BILL IS NOT
NECESSARY TO TELL THE STATE
LANDS COMMISSION HOW DO THEIR
JOB THEY KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.
IT'S CERTAINLY NOT NECESSARY TO
TELL THE CDC TO DO THEIR JOB SO
WE APPRECIATE THOSE AMENDMENTS
TO CLARIFY THAT THAT'S NOT
SOMETHING THAT'S INTENDED BY THE
BILL -- THE REASON WHY THOSE
AGENCIES EXISTED TO PROTECT --
WATER FROM RESOURCES BECAUSE
WATERFRONT RESOURCES.
ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLICATE ONCE
THEY'RE GONE THEY'RE GONE.
WE BELIEVE THAT ONCE YOU'VE
REPLACED A WATERFRONT ASSET LIKE
THE HOWARD TERMINAL.
WITH HOUSING AND COMMERCIAL REAL
SAID THE CAN GO ANYWHERE IN THE
US THE STADIUM THAT COULD BE
BUILT.
AT THE CURRENT LOCATION IS
OAKLAND JUST AS WELL THE COULD
BE ANYWHERE ELSE -- THAT YOU'VE
DONE IRREPARABLE HARM TO OUR
BUSINESS YOU'VE DONE A REPROBATE
HARM TO THE REGION AND TO THE
OVERALL ECONOMY OF CALIFORNIA WE
CAN'T REPLICATE THE BENEFITS
THAT COME FROM HAVING A WORKING
COURT.
ANYWHERE ELSE EXCEPT ON DEEP
WATER -- AND WE ARE REALLY PROUD
OF WORKING WITH FOLKS IN THE
COMMUNITY LIKE BISHOP -- BUT
ALSO WITH OUR LABOR FORCE OUT OF
YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT.
WHAT WE'RE DOING IS PRESENTING A
CASE FOR WHY YOU SHOULD KEEP THE
COMMISSION THE STATE LANDS
COMMISSION NBC DC?
AND THE DRIVERS SEAT WITH
RESPECT TO PROTECTING YOUR
INTEREST IN THE TIDELANDS AND
WITH RESPECT PROTECTING THE
STATE'S INTEREST IN MOVING
FORWARD WITH INTERNATIONAL TRADE
ARE PORTENT ASPEN.
pTHANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
MY NAME IS LISA AND ALL.
I AM THE CITY OF ADVOCATE.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA DISTRICT.
OF THE INTERNATIONAL LONGSHORE
AND WAREHOUSE ASSOCIATION --
WHICH REPRESENTS FOURTEEN LOCAL
UNIONS -- FROM EUREKA TO SALINAS.
WE ARE OPPOSED AB ELEVEN NINETY
ONE BECAUSE THE BILL WOULD
ELIMINATE THE CURRENT PUBLIC
TRUST PROTECTIONS AT HOWARD
TERMINAL. FOR THE ACE BALLPARK
PLAN.
THE PUBLIC PRESS PROTECTIONS
RESERVE BORDER WAYS FOR NATURAL
HABITAT PROTECTION.
IN MARITIME ACTIVITIES
[inaudible]
THEY ALSO.
HAS ALLOWED THE PORTABLE GOING
TO BE ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL
IN THE WEST COAST.
OAKLAND SPORT IS A HUNDRED AND
THIRTY BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY
AND SEAPORT ACTIVITY.
AT THE PORTS SUPPORTS MORE THAN
FIVE HUNDRED MILLION IN TO WRECK
WAGES AND SALARY PRINTERS REAL
JOBS.
THAT PERSON THAT SUPPORT THE
LANGUAGE FOR MANY AREA RESIDENTS.
OF THIS JOB TOTAL COMES TO ABOUT
EIGHTY FOUR THOUSAND REGION WIDE.
THE EIGHTY FOUR THOUSAND
REGIONAL JOBS 20% OR SEVENTEEN
THOUSAND OF THOSE JOBS ARE IN
THE CITY OF OAKLAND.
LET'S SAY THAT THE CON HOLD THE
MIKE.
HELLO BUT THE OKAY.
HELLO THERE ALRIGHT I WON'T HOLD
IT.
SO THE LEGISLATION FAILS TO
ADDRESS POLICIES TO MAKE TO
MAINTAIN CURRENT MARITIME
INDUSTRY JOBS IN THE PORT AREA.
IT DOES NOT ADDRESS ABOUT PER
AREA BETWEEN THE WORKING POOR IN
THE PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL HOUSING.
THE BILL IS ALSO LACKING
REALISTIC SOLUTIONS TO FREIGHT
TRANSPORTATION CONGESTION.
OUR MARITIME WORKFORCE
REPRESENTS SOME OF THE HIGHEST
SKILLED IN HIGHLY SPECIALIZED
BLUE COLLAR.
LABOR IN NORTH AMERICA.
WE ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THE
CITY OF OAKLAND IN A SPORT
COMMISSIONS SEEM TO BE SEEM TO
HAVE A NEW VISION OF THE PORT.
THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE US THIS IS
TROUBLING CONCERNING THE REDUCE
PORT AREA MEANS REDUCE WORK
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MARITIME
WORKING COMMUNITY.
THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD NOT
ENDORSE THE REMOVAL OF THE
THAILAND STRESS FROM THE
WATERFRONT PROPERTY WITHIN THE
PORT OF OAKLAND OR ALLOW FOR THE
CREATION OF A HOUSING.
SLASH OFFICE SLASH STADIUM
BEGINS WHEN HE'S BEEN ALONG.
YOUR TIME IS UP IF YOU CAN
FINISH UP WHICH IS COMPLETELY
INCONSISTENT WITH THE PUBLIC
TRUST ARE WORKING WATERFRONT
RESPECTIVELY AS A YOU PROTECT
THE PORT OF OAKLAND.
IN OUR MARITIME RELATED JOBS
THANK YOU.
CHAIR MEMBERS I MARIN PIN IT ON
BEHALF OF THE INTERNATIONAL
LONGSHORE AND WAREHOUSE UNION --
ONE THING TO CONSIDER HERE IS
THAT THE SUPPORTERS OF THE BILL
I TALK ABOUT JOB CREATION FOR US
IS A JOB ELIMINATION IN THE LONG
RUN AS IT.
AFFECTS THE POOR ACTIVITIES I
DESIRE AS WE FACE TECHNOLOGY HAS
WE WE START TO FACE DIFFERENT
CHALLENGES YOUR EVENTUALLY
PEOPLE OF COLOR WILL BE PUT OUT
OF A JOB AND IS THERE JOBS THE
CANNED BEEF AT REPLACE.
DOES JOBS YOU CAN JUST TRAIN
SOMEONE AND SAY WE'LL FIND YOU A
JOB SOMEWHERE ELSE AGAIN --
FAMILIES HAVE DEPENDED ON THIS
JOBS AND WE ABSOLUTELY NEED
THOSE JOBS OTHERWISE WE'D END UP
WITH A POPULATION THAT.
CAN'T PUT THE KIDS TO COLLEGE
CAN BY HOUSING SO AGAIN WE'RE
PICKING.
ONE GROUP OF CHUCK ONE A GROUP

IN OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU ARE TWENTY ONE ELSE TO
SPEAK IN OPPOSITION.
OKAY WITHOUT OUR TURN TO THE
COMMITTEE TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM
COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
ANYBODY HAVE -- I HAVE A COUPLE
OF QUESTIONS -- MY FIRST IS FOR
ANY OF THE OF THE OPPONENTS WHO
WISH TO SPEAK WHICH IS IF
ANYBODY KNOWS WHEN THE LAST TIME
THAT THE CDC ALLOWED ANY HOUSING
I'M BE FILL.
AND WHAT OF THE CDC'S GOALS FOR
THE REGULATION OF BAY FILL OUR
AND IF THERE'S ANY OTHER
PROPOSALS THAT ANYONE KNOWS
ABOUT ABOUT BE FILL A PROPOSALS
FOR HOUSING.
THANK YOU THAT'S A THAT'S A VERY
CONFERENCE A QUESTION I'M NOT
SURE HAVE A CONFERENCE OF ANSWER
FOR IT BUT I THINK IT'S FAIR TO
SAY IN THE SEAPORT PLAN -- THERE
IS NO ACCOMMODATION FOR HOUSING --
WE'VE HAD BILLS LIKE THIS IN THE
PAST WITH RESPECT TO OTHER PORTS
IN THE BAY AREA -- THERE HAVE
NOT BEEN ACCOMMODATIONS FOR
HOUSING WITHIN THE THE BAY FILL.
AND AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW -- BUT
MAY NOT UNDER THE NEXT YEAR
PATRICK SACK WITH SET UP THE CDC
WHEN YOU BUILD ON PHIL.
YOU'RE ACTUALLY STILL BUILDING
IN THE BACK -- SO THAT'S WHY THE
CDC WORD RETAINS JURISDICTION
AND SO HOUSING IS NOT ALLOWED ON
PHIL.
WHETHER YOU'RE PART OF THE SEA
PORT PLAN OR NOT -- SO THAT'S
CERTAINLY ONE OF THE THE
JURISDICTIONAL PROBLEMS MOVING
FORWARD WITH THE BILL -- IS THAT
YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE ABLE TO
ASSERT A RIGHT TO BUILD HOUSING.
ESSENTIALLY WITHIN THAT THE BAY
ENVELOPE WITHIN THE BC DC
JURISDICTION THAT CERTAINLY
PROBLEMATIC.
THANKS.
AND THEN THE AUTHOR ON THE ACE
OF STATED CLEARLY IN A NUMBER OF
PUBLIC MEETING SOMETHING TO THE
EFFECT THAT.
THEY'RE NOT TAKING STATE
LEGISLATION TO CIRCUMVENT
EXISTING ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND
THEIR NOT SEEKING -- TO AND RUN
THE STATE LANDS COMMISSION OR BC
DC -- AND I WANTED TO JUST --
CLARIFY THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
COMMIT TODAY THAT YOU'RE NOT
GOING TO BE SEEKING ADDITIONAL
AMENDMENTS IN THE FUTURE THAT
ARE GOING TO CIRCUMVENT EITHER
AT THE STATE LANDS COMMISSION OR
THE B. CDC PROCESS.
THAT IS CORRECT OKAY AND THAT IF
THE BILL CHANGES SUBSTANTIALLY
YOU'LL BE WILLING TO BRING IT
BACK TO OUR COMMITTEE SO THAT WE
HAVE A CHANCE TO EVALUATE ANY OF
THOSE CHANGES MORE THAN HAPPY.
TO THANK YOU -- I WANTED TO
THANK THE AUTHOR FOR TAKING THE
LANGUAGE -- TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE BILL DOES NOT LIMIT THE
AUTHORITY OF THE B. C. B. C.
BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF
ISSUES HERE AND YOU KNOW QUITE
HONESTLY THE MERITS OF THE
PROJECT OR NOT REALLY I THINK
THE COMMITTEE'S CONCERN IT'S A
LOCAL JURISDICTION BUT IT IS OUR
CONCERN. TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
PUBLIC PROCESS IS RESPECTED BUT
THE PUBLIC HAS A CHANCE TO WEIGH
IN ON THAT THE CDC AND STATE
LANDS ALSO.
HAS THEIR FULL SCOPE OF
AUTHORITY -- TO EVALUATE -- THE
PROJECT AND BECAUSE RIGHT NOW
THE BILL MAKES THAT CLEAR THAT
THEY'RE NOT CIRCUMVENTING THAT
AUTHORITY I'M GONNA BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY.
AND I CERTAINLY ENCOURAGE THE
AUTHOR TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH
THE OPPONENTS -- TO ADDRESS
THEIR CONCERNS AND MAKE SURE
THAT THE PUBLIC HAS A YOU KNOW A
FULL HEARING AT ALL OF THE
VARIOUS ISSUES -- AND AGAIN I I
THINK EVERYBODY FOR COMING TO
TESTIFY IN ALL OF YOUR YOU KNOW
CONSERVE YOUR COMMUNITY AND ALL
OF YOUR ACTIVISM AND EVERYONE

WATERSHED AND CATALINA ISLAND.
SINCE ITS ESTABLISHMENT TWENTY
YEARS AGO THE RIVERS AND
MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY HAS
SUCCESSFULLY PURSUED A MISSION
OF PRESERVING OPEN SPACE AND
HABITAT WHILE FACILITATING
PUBLIC ACCESS TO CALIFORNIA'S
WILDERNESS AND WILDLIFE.
BY PROVIDING GRANTS TO VARIOUS
PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THE THE
TERRITORY IN EASTERN LOS ANGELES
AND WESTERN ORANGE COUNTY.
THE CONSERVANCY HAS IMPROVED
WATERSHEDS RESTORED WILDLIFE
HABITAT AND PROVIDED NUMEROUS
OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL AND
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
WELL THE CONSERVANCY HAS HAD
GREAT SUCCESS WITH NUMEROUS
PROJECTS WITHIN ITS TERRITORY
SEVERAL NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES.
HAVE NOT HAD THE SAME
OPPORTUNITIES.
THE DIMMING IS CHANNEL WATERSHED
LOCATED ON THE EAST ON TO THE
EAST OF LOS ANGELES RIVER IS ONE
AREA WITH SEVERAL COMMUNITIES IN
NEED.
INCLUDING PORTIONS OF INGLEWOOD
CARSON TORRANCE ST PETER AND
SEVERAL OTHER COMMUNITIES THE
DIMMING IS WATERSHED IS HEAVILY
DEVELOPED.
AND SEVERELY LACKING AND
PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE OPEN SPACE.
ANOTHER NEARBY OTHER NEARBY IT
THEY AND OTHER NEARBY AREAS YOU
NEED US CATALINA ISLAND.
WELL NOT IN NEED OF OF MORE OPEN
SPACE ACCESS TO THAT -- WHEN
SPACE CAN PROVIDE A SIGNIFICANT
CHALLENGE ADDITIONALLY THE
ISLANDS DEPENDENCE ON THE
VOLATILE TOURISM INDUSTRY MAKES
IT DIFFICULT TO SERVE
CONSTITUENT LONG TERMS TO
SERVICE CONSISTENT LONG TERM
FUNDING FOR OPEN?
SPACE OR WATER INFRASTRUCTURE
NEEDS THE SAN GABRIEL RIVERS AND
MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY IS UNIQUE
IS IN A UNIQUE POSITION. TO HELP
THESE AREAS AND EXPAND THEIR
MISSION OF PRESERVING
COMMUNITIES ACCESS TO THOSE
AMENITIES.
AB SIXTEEN NINETY FOUR WILL
ALLOW THEM TO DO EXACTLY THAT.
BY EXPANDING THEIR TERRITORY TO
COVER THESE AREAS AND GREATER
SERVICE THE CITIZENRY OF THESE
AREAS HERE JUST TESTIFIES MARK

THANK YOU.
THE ARTSY AS OUTLINED BY THE SAY

ADDITION OF A SAID A KILLER
SENATE CANDIDLY THE ISLANDS AND
AND TO MAKE EYE SHADOW WATERSHED
SHARE MANY OF THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE EXISTING
CONSERVANCY BOUNDARIES.
THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND VERY
HIGH NEED.
WITHIN KNOWING COM PARK FOR
COMMUNITIES ARE NO DIFFERENT
THAN.
WHAT THE CONSERVANCY CURRENTLY
PROVIDES RESOURCES TO THE
INCLUSION OF SENATE -- CATALINA
ED DOMINGUEZ -- WHAT A SHED
REPRESENTS LESS THAN?
A 4% INCREASE IN THE RESOURCE
AREA OF THE CONSERVANCY OF ITS.
FOURTEEN HUNDRED SQUARE MILES --
THIS PROPOSAL TAKES IN INGLEWOOD.
IT AREA THE FIVE BY LESS THAN
POINT.
EIGHT PARTS PER ACRE PER ONE

THE FOR CATALINA -- THE CATALINA
ISLAND CONSERVANCY IN THE CITY
OF AVALON -- PLANS ARE
CONSISTENT WITH THE CONSERVANCY
AND ITS EFFORTS TO CONSERVE.
EDUCATE AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY
FOR LOW IMPACT RECREATION.
THE TIMING OF THIS ACTION
APPEARS APPROPRIATE GIVEN THE
ARM C. WAS FORMED IN NINETEEN
NINE NINE THROUGH SB TWO SIXTEEN
TWENTY YEARS AGO.
IT IS DUE FOR A WIN -- REVIEW OF
ITS OPEN SPACE PLAN THE
INCLUSION OF CATALINA AND THAT
DIDN'T DOMINGUEZ CHANNEL.

RANDALL STONE ON THE MAYOR OF

AT LEAST THREE OR FOUR LETTERS
OF OPPOSITION OUR COUNCIL VOTED
GOT RECENTLY -- TO NOT SUPPORT --
A BEFORE THIRTY WE ARE CONCERNED
AND CONTINUE TO REITERATE OUR
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED --
POSITION WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
THE CONDITIONAL LAND USE
AUTHORITY AS HAS BEEN DETAILED
BY A MAJORITY BY COUNCIL MEMBERS
IN THEIR LETTERS -- WE DIDN'T A
VOTE TO OPPOSE RATHER WE WANT TO
WORK WITH THE ASSEMBLYMAN TO TO
LIFT THAT CONDITIONAL LAND USE
AUTHORITY AGAIN THAT'S FOR
COUNCIL MEMBERS -- AND I BELIEVE
BOTH SUPERVISORS FROM OUR A
JURISDICTION FROM THE CITY CHICK
OPPOSES AS WELL -- SAID THE
NUMBER GALLAGHER THE AUTHOR THE
BILL HAS HAS OFFERED TO REMOVE
THE CITY OF CHICO AND IF THAT --
THE BEST WE CAN DO THEN -- THEN
WE'RE REQUESTING THAT -- WE ALSO
QUESTION WHAT THE STATEWIDE
CONCERN IS LIMITING A LOCAL
CONTROL OF OUR LAND USE
AUTHORITY IS IS NOT TYPICALLY
THAT THE JURISDICTION OF THE OF
THE OF THE LEGISLATURE AND THE
CITY CHECK A CURRENTLY HAS FIFTY
THREE HUNDRED HOUSING UNITS THAT
ARE CURRENTLY UNDER SOME --
VARIOUS LEVELS OF OF STAGES OF
DEVELOPMENT AND AND I'M JUST NOT
SURE THAT THIS IS THE SOLUTION
TO A UNLIMITED OUR OUR LADIES AT
THIRTY THANK NEXT NEXT WEEK
[inaudible]
GOOD EVENING.
MADAM CHAIR.
HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MY NAME'S RICHARD
HARRIMAN I'M GENERAL COUNSEL TO
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND MORE
MENTAL DEFENSE CENTER.
I'M HERE TO SPEAK JUST VERY
BRIEFLY A COUPLE APPOINTMENTS
OTHER PEOPLE WANT TO SPEAK.
OUR POSITION IS IS THAT THIS
LEGISLATION IS NOT NEEDED.
THERE'S ALREADY SUFFICIENT OF
PRODUCT IN THE PIPELINE -- WE
VERY MUCH YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT
HAVING LOCAL CONTROL OVER TAKEN --
BY THE STATE MANDATE ON THIS
PARTICULAR.
PROJECT.
THE PROBLEM IS IN THE FINDINGS
THE DATA DOESN'T SUPPORT FIFTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE.
THIS PLACE TO HER GOING TO BE
NEEDING THE THE NEW HOUSING OR
THAT THE RESIDENTIAL.
TENANCIES BECAUSE OF THE FACT
THAT UP 2627080% OF THE PEOPLE
WILL BE GONE BEFORE THE NEW
HOUSING IS ACTUALLY THROUGH.
THAT'S PROVIDED BY THIS
LEGISLATION.
IN ADDITION BECAUSE OF THE FACT
THAT IT DOESN'T ADDRESS HUMAN OF
IMPACTS BECAUSE OF THE SICK WERE.
EXEMPTION THE TAXPAYERS AND
RATEPAYERS AND THE SALES TAX
PAYERS OF THE CITY OF CHICO IN
PARTICULAR ARE GONNA BE LEFT
WITH.
CONTINUED DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
FROM THE LEGISLATURE'S ACTION
REGARDING TRANSPORTATION WHICH
IS ALREADY.
DETERIORATED SUFFICIENTLY THE
CITY OF CHICO IS LOOKING AT
DOING A BOND MEASURE SO WE HAVE
THE DEEP DEEP DEEP CONCERNS
ABOUT INFRASTRUCTURE
DEFICIENCIES THAT ALREADY EXISTS
GETTING COMPOUNDED.
IN THE MITIGATION MEASURES IN
THE TAXES OR THE MITIGATION FEES
ARE REQUIRED OF NEW DEVELOPMENT.
WE'RE NOT INCREASE FROM TWO
THOUSAND SEVEN THROUGH LAST YEAR
SO WE'RE ALREADY BEHIND THIS
HIGH RATE OF GROWTH IS GOING TO
HAVE THE CIVIC AND SUPERIOR
SERIOUS -- IMPACTS ON THE LOCAL
EXISTING RESIDENTS WHO HAVE TO
PAY THE PROPERTY TAXES.
IN THE FEES.
THE EVENING.
ELIZABETH DEVEREAUX FROM FRIENDS
OF THE FOOT HILLS -- I THINK BIG
CITES THE FACT THAT -- THE
MINISTERIAL APPROVAL PROCESS.
I SEEMS TO BE AN OVER REACH FOR
LOCALLY ELECTED.
REPRESENTATIVES -- THE SEQUEL
APPROVAL PROCESS -- IS THERE TO
PROVIDE NOT ONLY PROTECTION TO
THE ENVIRONMENT BUT ALSO HEALTH
AND SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE AND TO
GIVE THE PEOPLE A VOICE IN THE
PLANNING PROCESS -- AND BY
PASSING SECRET WOULD SET A VERY
DANGEROUS PRECEDENT FOR
CALIFORNIA.
IN REGARDS TO STREAMLINING THE
DEVELOPMENT -- WE HOUSE WAS SET
A READY BUYER MAYOR THAT WE
ALREADY HAVE.
TEN THOUSAND HOUSING FOR TEN
THOUSAND PEOPLE IN THE PIPELINE
AND OF FOR TWENTY FIVE YEARS OUR
GENERAL PLANS OF CALL FOR NEW
URBANIST HOUSING AN INFILL
RATHER THAN SUBDIVISIONS.
AND THIS WOULD PREVENT URBAN
SPRAWL BUT IN CHICO PLANNING
STAFF BECAUSE SOME OF THESE
LARGE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS
INFILL.
AND THEY ARE NOT IN NEW URBANIST
INFILL DEVELOPMENT.
IT ALREADY HAS AN EXPENSIVE
INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE.
AND WOULD OFFER POSSIBILITY OF
EFFICIENT PUBLIC TRANSIT WALK
ABILITY AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING --
THIS KIND OF INFILL ALSO
ADDRESSES I THINK ONE OF THE KEY
FACTORS WHICH IS CLIMATE CHANGE --
SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE
ARE.
UP.
RIGHT NOW CUMULATIVE LEE WOULD
ACTUALLY GIVE TWENTY THREE
THOUSAND CAR TRIPS A DAY.
AND CANNOT MITIGATE THEIR CARBON
EMISSIONS -- SO -- FOR I THINK
FOR TO WORSEN THE CLIMATE CHANGE
IN AIR QUALITY THEY SHOULD NOT
BE ALLOWED.
AND THE IRONY WOULD BE TO
APPROVE THAT BILL AB FOR THIRTY
AND STREAMLINE THIS PROCESS ON
THE VERY KINDS.
OF DEVELOPMENTS WHICH WOULD
ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTE. TO MORE
DISASTROUS EVENTS LIKE THE
CAMPFIRE.
SO -- I THINK WHAT WERE WHAT I
WOULD LIKE.
IS. TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
FURTHER REVIEW THE NEW
AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN
SUBMITTED TO THE BILL AND I AM
OPPOSING THE BILL.
AND I'D I'D LIKE TO IN
CONCLUSION TO ADD THAT MY THE
CITY OF CHICO'S PUBLIC WORKS
DIRECTOR AND A SENIOR STAFF.
HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THAT THIS
IS BAD FOR CHICO ELIMINATES OUR
ABILITY TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE
PARKING CONSIDERATIONS AT LEAST
AS WRITTEN AT THIS POINT.
THANK YOU I'M IS THERE ANYBODY
ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN
OPPOSITION OF THE BILL IF YOU
CAN JUST COME TO THE MICROPHONE

OF MISTER GALLAGHER I WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD
WORK AND FOR WORKING SO
DILIGENTLY AND OPENLY WITH THE
COMMITTEE IN WITH WITH ME ON
THIS ISSUE -- FIRST I KNOW THAT
THIS KIND OF PRE EMPTION FOR
LOCAL CONTROL IS REALLY
DIFFICULT I COME FROM LOCAL
GOVERNMENT.
SO I DON'T TAKE IT LIGHTLY AND I
DO HOPE THAT YOU CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH US CITY OF CHICO AND
ANY OF THE OTHER COMMUNITIES
THAT ARE.
STRUGGLING WITH THAT LOSS OF OF
FLEXIBILITY AND I ALSO KNOW THAT
SEEK WOULD GIVE THE PUBLIC A
CHANCE TO TO REALLY UNDERSTAND
THE IMPACTS OF A COMMUNITY OF A

WEIGH IN -- I ALSO DO DO WANT TO
RECOGNIZE THAT YOU DO HAVE AN
EMERGENCY IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND
YOU ARE TRYING TO HELP -- GET

BALANCE THAT.
SO BESIDES TAKING THEM THE
AMENDMENTS THAT YOU MENTIONED I
ALSO WANT TO JUST FOR THOSE
LISTENING WHO HAVEN'T SEEN THE
AMENDMENTS AND PRINT YET -- SO
YOUR CLUB AND OTHERS THAT THE
DEVELOPMENTS ALSO TO BE ABLE TO
USE THE STREAMLINING ARE GOING
TO HAVE TO ACHIEVE.
STANDARDS OF AT LEAST LEAD GOLD
OR EQUIVALENT SO THAT'S A PRETTY
HIGH STANDARD AND IT WILL HELP
TO GUARANTEE THAT WHATEVER
PROJECTS OR BUILD OR AT LEAST
SUSTAINABLE AND EFFICIENT.
REDUCING THE COST OF PEOPLE WHO
LIVE THERE BUT ALSO HAVING A
DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL USE LESS
RESOURCES -- YOU KNOW FOR THE
COMMUNITY AND AND BE A
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND I

FOUR THIRTY INCLUDING THE COUNTY
ABUSE AND THE CITIES OF ORVILLE
BIG SAYING GRIDLEY -- THE CHICO
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SUPPORTS
THIS BILL COUNTLESS INDIVIDUALS
WHO HAVE BEEN DISPLACED AND

UNDERSTAND.
LET'S NOT UNDERMINE THAT THIS.
IS A HUGE DISASTER FIFTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
DISPLACED IN THE BUTTE COUNTY
REGION 14% OF THE HOUSING STOCK

HAS BEEN DECIMATED THAT'S WHAT
THIS BILL IS ABOUT AS PROVIDING
A USEFUL TOOL TO BRING ON
HOUSING.
AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE -- WE'RE
GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
ALL THE STAKEHOLDER JUST AS WE
WORK THROUGH AMENDMENTS HERE.
EVERYONE WHO IS PROVIDED ACTUAL
INPUT ON AMENDMENTS ON THINGS
THEY'D LIKE TO BE SET A CHANGE
IN THE BILL WE HAVE WORK TO TRY
TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES -- THE
CITY OF CHICO AS I THINK THE
MAYOR JUST.
STATED EARLIER HAS NOT SAID THAT
THEY OPPOSE THE BILL -- THEY
HAVE SAID THAT THEY HAVE SOME
CONCERNS I'M STILL WAITING ON
THE SPECIFIC.
ISSUES THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO
SEE CHANGED.
WE'LL BE HAPPY TO LOOK AT THOSE --
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THE
THE ISSUE HERE IS THAT WE HAVE
FIFTY THOUSAND PEOPLE DISPLACED --
YOU HEARD FROM COUNTLESS
INDIVIDUALS ON THAT ISSUE.
YOU ALSO HAVE RECEIVED SUPPORT
LETTERS FROM TWO OF THE BIGGEST
EMPLOYERS -- IN THE REGION BILL
DOT COM AND AND LOW HOSPITAL.
WHO ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT
LOSING CRITICAL EMPLOYEES
BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND HOUSING
IN THE REGION IN FACT THE
PRINCIPLE OF PARADISE HIGH
SCHOOL?
ACTUALLY JUST RESIGNED BECAUSE
HE COULD NOT FIND HOUSING IN THE
BUTTE COUNTY REGION WE ARE
LOSING CRITICAL PEOPLE IN THIS
REGION IT'S URGENT THAT WE ACT
NOW.
AB FOR THIRTY IS ONE OF THOSE
TOOLS -- AND AGAIN WILL CONTINUE
TO WORK ON THIS BILL -- WITH ALL
STAKEHOLDERS IF ULTIMATELY THE
CITY OF CHICO SAYS HEY WE JUST
DON'T.
WANT THIS BILL FOR OUR CITY WE
WILL TAKE THEM OUT BECAUSE AS I
SAID THERE'S COUNTLESS OTHER
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WHO ARE
SUPPORTIVE OF THIS AND WHO WANT --
IN INDEED WANT THIS AS A TOOL TO
BRING ONLINE MUCH NEEDED HOUSING --
SO WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP --
IN IN WORKING THROUGH THIS AND I

PRESENTING AB FIFTEEN OH NINE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BERMAN SENATOR
HILL AND I ALONG WITH ASSEMBLY
WOMAN EGGMAN'S.
CO AUTHORSHIP INTRODUCED AB
FIFTEEN OH NINE IN RESPONSE TO A
FIRE CAUSED BY A LITHIUM ION
BATTERY AT THE SHORE WAY
FACILITY IN SAN MATEO COUNTY.
WHICH CAUSED EIGHT POINT FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS IN DAMAGES THAT
SHUT DOWN THE FACILITY FOR
NINETY DAYS AND TOOK OVER A YEAR
TO RESTORE.
WITH OVER HALF A MILLION LITHIUM
ION BATTERY SOLD LAST YEAR AND
THE NUMBER OF BATTERIES ON THE
MARKET EXPECTED TO DOUBLE IN THE
NEXT SEVEN YEARS THE NUMBER OF
LITHIUM ION BATTERIES FOUND IN
THE WASTE STREAM.
WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THE
RISK OF MORE FIRES WILL RISE
ALONG WITH IT AB FIFTEEN OH NINE
TREATS LOOSE BATTERIES AND
BATTERIES EMBEDDED IN PRODUCTS
DIFFERENTLY.
AS HE ANNOUNCES POINTS OUT
EXISTING LAW REQUIRES LARGE
RETAILERS TO HAVE A MECHANISM TO
ACCEPT ALL RECHARGEABLE
BATTERIES FROM CONSUMERS
RECYCLING.
BATTERIES THAT ARE EMBEDDED IN
DEVICES ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE
LAW SO WE PROPOSED A RETAILER'S
HELP IMPROVE THE COLLECTION OF
PRODUCTS WITH EMBEDDED LITHIUM
ION BATTERIES BY ESTABLISHING A
TAKE BACK PROGRAM OUR DEPOSIT
SYSTEM.
OR A SIMILAR PROGRAM WERE
ALLOWING FLEXIBILITY SINCE THERE
IS SUCH A WIDE ARRAY OF PRODUCTS.
THAT HAVE THESE BATTERIES IN
THEM WHEN IT COMES TO
MANUFACTURERS OF LOOSE LITHIUM
ION BATTERIES WERE DEALING WITH
A MUCH NARROWER GROUP OF
COMPANIES.
AB FIFTY NO INE CALLS FOR THEM
TO PARTICIPATE IN THE END OF
LIFE MANAGEMENT OF THEIR
PRODUCTS WITH A PRODUCER
RESPONSIBILITY MODEL.
THIS MODEL ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
THESE PRODUCTS DESPITE ALL OF
THEIR PORT APPLICATIONS AND USES
HAVE A SIGNIFICANT END OF LIFE
CONSEQUENCE WHICH THE
MANUFACTURER MUST HELP MITIGATE.
IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE THE END
OF LIFE CONSEQUENCE FOR LITHIUM
ION BATTERIES AS FIRES THAT ARE
PUBLICLY FINANCED SOLID WASTE
AND RECYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE LIST OF
SUPPORTERS ON THE BILL THIS IS A
TRULY STATEWIDE MATTER I ASK FOR
YOUR SUPPORT ON A. B..
FIFTEEN OH NINE AND AM AWAITING
MISTER BERMAN'S -- ATTENDANCE
HERE BUT WITH THAT I WILL --
TRIGGERED OVER -- TO ARE A
SUPPORTERS OF THE BILL.
OF THE BILL.
GOOD EVENING AND HAPPY -- DAY
EVERYONE MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS
MY NAME IS JOE Là MERRY ON I'M
I AM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
RETHINK WASTE WE ARE A JOINT
POWERS AUTHORITY.
ARE -- HANDLING GARBAGE
RECYCLING COMPOSTING ON THE SAN
FRANCISCO PENINSULA -- WE ARE
TWELVE MEMBERS -- GOING FROM
EAST PALO ALTO TOO BURLINGAME
AND WE CAN WE SERVICE ABOUT 60%
OF THE COUNTIES MATERIALS.
I IN TWENTY SIXTEEN WE HAD A
CATASTROPHIC FIRE -- IN OUR
RECYCLING CENTER -- WE HAVE A
NUMBER OF LITHIUM ION BATTERY
FIRES FROM TIME TO TIME IN THE
PRESENT A VERY SERIOUS THREAT --
TO THE WORKERS AND OF COURSE TO
THE FACILITY ITSELF WE'RE VERY
FORTUNATE ON THAT DAY THE WAS NO
ONE HURT BUT IT DID CAUSE EIGHT
POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS WORTH
OF DAMAGE -- AND IN FACT IT IS --
IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS SOME
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES AS WE HAVE
LOOKED TO REPLACE THE INSURANCE
IT HAS.
HI IT HAS COSTS.
ABOUT THREE TIMES WHAT IT DID
PREVIOUS TO THE FIRE -- OR OR
FORMER -- INSURANCE PROVIDER
ACTUALLY FIRED US -- IN SO WE
HAD TO GO IN THE MARKET PLACE
AND GO SHOPPING AGAIN SO WE NOW
HAVE SEVEN INSURANCE PROVIDERS
PROVIDING THIS IS A VERY
IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY COVERAGE --
CURRENTLY WE HAVE ABOUT ELEVEN
BATTERIES LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
PER HOUR GOING THROUGH THE THE
FACILITY EVERYONE OF THEM
REPRESENTS A COMBUSTIBLE EVENT.
AND IT'S QUITE.
A IT'S QUITE -- A CHALLENGING
FOR US TO OPERATE OUR OUR
FACILITY -- THERE'S ABOUT A
HUNDRED PLUS OF THESE FACILITIES
IN CALIFORNIA AND THERE'S
THOUSANDS OF JOBS AT STAKE HERE
AS WELL.
SO WITH THAT I WANT TO URGE IN
HIGH VOTE ON FIFTEEN OH NINE I
GAP IN THE COLLAPSE OF
CALIFORNIANS AGAINST WASTE BEING
MINDFUL OF THE TIME I'LL JUST
SAY THAT.
AS THESE BATTERIES BECOME MORE
MORE POPULAR AND CHEAPER AND
CHEAPER.
THE FIRES AT MATERIAL RECYCLING
FACILITIES HAVE BEEN GOING UP
PROPORTIONALLY AT THE SAME RATE.
I THINK THERE WERE SOMETHING
LIKE SEVENTEEN HUNDRED FIRES
LAST YEAR AMATEUR RECOVERY
FACILITIES.
THAT'S THAT COMMONSENSE BILL
THAT GIVES A LOT OF DIFFERENT
OPTIONS FOR INDUSTRY TO COMPLY.
THANK YOU ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO
SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL
PLEASE COME TO THE MICROPHONE

THANK YOU OKAY QUESTIONS FROM

I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION I THINK --
WHICH IS I I THINK THIS IS A
GREAT BILL AND I ABSOLUTELY
SUPPORT IT -- BUT THEY NEED TO
ALSO BE A WAY TO NOTIFY
CONSUMERS OF WHICH PRODUCTS THEY
CAN THIS BUT HOW THEY CAN
DISPOSE OF DIFFERENT WAYS.
SO -- MY QUESTION IS ARE YOU
ANTICIPATING SOME KIND OF A
FUTURE WORK OR MEMINTA THIS OR
IS IT POSSIBLE NDER THE CURRENT
BILL THAT THERE COULD BE
REGULATIONS TO REQUIRE VERY
CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONSUMERS
MAYBE EVEN ON THE BOX SO THEY
KNEW BEFORE THEY PURCHASED
SOMETHING.
THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE -- TO
DISPOSE OF IT DIFFERENTLY THAN
THERE USED TO OTHER PRODUCTS.
WELL I WOULD CONCUR THAT THIS
CAN ONLY BE EFFECTIVE IF
CONSUMERS ARE FULLY AWARE WHAT'S
HAPPENING SO OPEN -- TO ANYTHING
ALONG THOSE LINES TO ACHIEVE
THAT AND AND DON'T KNOW IF MY
SPONSORS AND SUPPORTERS OF ANY
ADDITIONAL COMMENT ON THAT BUT
CONSUMER NOTIFICATION IS
ABSOLUTELY -- UP GOING TO BE
PART OF THIS HOW WE FORMULATE
THAT -- IS TO BE SEEN BUT YOU
HAVE MY COMMITMENT TO WORK THAT
ISSUE TERRIFIC.
ABSOLUTELY WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT CONSUMERS UNDERSTAND EVEN
BEFORE THEY PURCHASE SOMETHING
THAT THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL
RESPONSIBILITY -- SO THANK YOU --
WITH THAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE WITH JUST A SIMPLY AS A
MANAGER MEMBERS OF THE STATUS
QUO IS UNACCEPTABLE -- THIS IS A
DISTRICT ISSUE BUT CLEARLY --
THERE'S A STATEWIDE CONCERN HERE
AS WELL AND THINK WE NEED TO DO
SOME ADDITIONAL WORK AND I

BECAUSE THESE CONVERSATIONS --
OUR DIFFICULT AT TIMES THE MAYOR

THESE ARE.
PART OF THE WILL OF THE VOTERS
THE VOTERS A LOS ANGELES HAVE

TAX THEMSELVES. TO SOLVE THIS
PROBLEM BUT WHEN THEY DRIVE TO

WE'RE STUCK IN THIS SITUATION
WHERE ONE PORTION OF IT IS
BECAUSE STREAMLINED BUT YET THE
ALLOCATION OF DOLLARS IS NOT SO
ONLY DOES IS REALLY A LINE IT.
ALONG WITH THE STATE DOLLARS I
CALLED A KEEPER FOR JUST REFRESH

[inaudible]
THANK YOU.
OKAY I BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE ANNIE YES MISTER
MATHIS.
MR SAN DIEGO UNDERSTAND THIS IS --
LA SPECIFIC BILL -- BUT IF EVER
IN THE FUTURE YOU SEE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BROADEN THIS --
TO STATEWIDE APPROACH SO OTHER
CITIES -- IF THEY'RE ABLE TO
PASS BONDS OR DO THE SAME THING.
I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THIS TYPE
OF STREAMLINING I'D SUPPORT THAT
AS WELL SO -- NAY IT I KNOW OF
HOMELESS PROBLEM IS.
AFFECTING ALL OF US EVEN NOT.
THOSE OF US IN RURAL AREAS SELL --
ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO BROADEN IT.
WOULD BE AWESOME HI IN AGAIN I
KNOW IT'S LA SPECIFIC BUT A LOT
OF AREAS REALLY NEED THIS TYPE
EL.
TO AND THIS ONE DOES THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR MISTER SANTIAGO --
SO YOU SAID MEASURE HHH PASSED --
EVEN THOUGH.
THERE IS NOTHING IN THAT MEASURE
THAT TOLD VOTERS THAT -- IN AT
SOME POINT A SEQUEL EXEMPTION
WOULD BE GIVEN IS THAT CORRECT.
NOTHING IN THAT MEASURE SAID IF
YOU PASS THIS WE'RE GOING TO GET
A SEQUEL EXEMPTION FROM THE
LEGISLATURE IN ORDER TO TO FAST
TRACK WHAT WHAT I THINK THERE
WAS AN EXPEDIT PROCESS.
RELATED TO THE MEASURE HOWEVER
IT'S THE SECOND PORTION WHICH IS
THE ALLOCATION OF FUNDS IF I
UNDERSTOOD CORRECTLY.
THIS.
DOES THAT [inaudible]
I KNOW.
THE THE THE THE PART WE'RE
TRYING TO CHANGE.
IS V. THE RELEASE OF THE FUNDS
BECAUSE THAT'S BECAUSE THAT'S
WHERE THE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS SO
ALL THE ALL THE ON SEQUEL
PROCESS EXEMPTIONS OR OR ALREADY
IN PLACE AND LAW.
IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES.
WHERE THE PROBLEM -- HAPPENS I
KNOW THIS IS THIS LIKE TO
CONFUSE BUT THIS IS WHY THIS IS
WHAT WE'RE HERE FOR
CLARIFICATION.
WHERE THE PROBLEM IS IS IN THOSE
ACTIVITIES RELATED -- TO THE
PROJECT AND THAT INCLUDES -- THE
RELEASE OF DOLLARS SO WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO IS JUST SAY.
THESE PROJECTS ARE ALREADY.
A SINGLE EXEMPTED.
IT'S A TECHNICALITY THIS IS ME
IN LAYMAN'S TERMS IT'S A
TECHNICALITY THE RELEASE OF
DOLLARS [inaudible]
ON ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THAT.
OKAY I APOLOGIZE -- BUT I AM
[inaudible]
NOT.
FAMILIAR WITH WHERE IN THE BILL
IT TALKS ABOUT THIS JUST BEING
FOR THE RELEASE OF FUNDS IT IS
MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS BILL.
RELATES TO SEE QUICK SANCTION SO
THAT YOU CAN GET THESE PROJECTS
MOVING.
AND MY INCORRECT I THINK THE
AMENDMENTS WE TOOK WOOD.
WHAT A LINE THOSE -- ACTIVITIES
DOES THE MINISTER WERE TAKEN
HOUSING.
SO THE BEER GUZZLING YOUR I'M
ACCEPTING AMENDMENTS THE CURRENT
LANGUAGES PRETTY BROAD THE
AMENDMENTS WERE ACCEPTING.
IS WHAT WE WOULD BE VOTING ON
OKAY SO.
THE AMENDMENTS YOU ARE THESE
AMENDMENTS ARE TAKING.
I WILL BE TAKING HIM IN THE
HOUSING COMMITTEE MA'AM -- THIS
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PROJECT
MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
GOVERNMENT CODE AND FUNDED BY
MAJOR H. H. EMERGENCY SHELTERS
[inaudible]
THIS.
ONE AS PROMISED.
FOR THE RELEASE OF AS WELL.
IF I IF I MAY IN THE CURRENT LAW.
BECAUSE BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS
LEGISLATION.
THE SEQUEL IS ALREADY EXEMPTED
FOR MOST FOR THESE PROJECTS THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT IS
ALREADY EXEMPTED UNDER SYKORA.
SO THE DIFFERENCES THAT SOME
OTHER PARTS OF THEIR APPROVAL OF
THE FUNDING IS WHERE THE SEQUEL
WAS TRUE WOULD HAVE BEEN
TRIGGERED.
SO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
BUILDINGS WAS ALREADY SEE C
EXAMS IN THESE CASES.
SENATE IS THAT HELP CLARIFY.
I THINK I JUST CAN BE USED
EVERYBODY.
THIS IS.
SO WE'RE NOT.
THE END.
CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH.
THE AMENDMENTS BECAUSE NOW I'M
CONFUSED SO I THOUGHT.
IT IS A CHALLENGING SUBJECT TO
IT IN AYE AYE I MUST ADMIT.
I'M JUST I'M SORRY MADAM CHAIR
CAN SOMEONE SHOW ME IN THE BILL
WHERE IT'S JUST SINGLING OUT.
THE FUNDING MECHANISM LET ME ASK
THE AUTHOR WITH IF YOU'D RATHER
HAVE YOUR WITNESS FOR YOU OR I
CAN HAVE OUR COMMITTEE STAFFER
MAKE I'M JUST SORT OF EXPLAIN
AND WALK THEM THROUGH THE A MEMO
EVER.
EVER WHATEVER YOUR COME MOST
COMFORTABLE WITH -- SINCE I'M
TAKING A MOMENT YOU'RE MORE THAN
WELCOME TO PRESENT THEM.
SURE LARGE LENGLEN WITH THE
COMMITTEE -- SO THE THE
AMENDMENTS NARROW THE SCOPE OF
THE BILL AND FRANCE TO SUPPORT
OF HOUSING PROJECTS THAT ARE
FUNDED BY THE LOCAL BOND MEASURE
HHH.
AND EMERGENCY SHELTERS THAT ARE
FUNDED BY THE THE STATE FUNDED
HE PROGRAM BOTH WITHIN THE CITY
OF LOS ANGELES WHICH HAS THIS
VOTER APPROVED -- PROPERTY TAX
OF TO TO FUND THE PROJECTS.
THE THE THE POINT THAT THE
AUTHOR WAS TRYING TO MAKE IS
THAT.
WHILE EXISTING LAW.
EXEMPTS FROM C. QUIRK OR CREATES
A BY RIGHT APPROVAL PROCESS FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF THE THE PHYSICAL
DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.
THEY'RE MAKING DECISIONS TO
IMPLEMENT THE THE THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THESE PROJECTS
AT LARGE ADOPTING ORDINANCES.
FINANCING MAYBE LAND TRANSFERS
AND THOSE THOSE ARE NOT
NECESSARILY CAPTURED BY.
THE EXEMPTION THAT WAS ENACTED
LAST YEAR SOME OF THE PRIOR
EXEMPTION SO THEY'RE THEY'RE
TRYING TO BASICALLY COVER THEIR
BASES SO THAT.
THE THE FUNDING THAT THE VOTERS
APPROVED CAN.
YOU KNOW BE USED TO DEVELOP
THESE PROJECTS -- WHETHER IT'S
APPROVAL OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF
THE PROJECT -- APPROVAL OF
FINANCING OR LAND TRANSFER MAYBE
ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE.
OKAY ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS.
THIS IS WHAT WE SPEND SOMETIME
WITH THE BILL IT'S VERY
TECHNICAL I THINK THAT THEY'RE
TRYING TO JUST SORT OF IT'S
ALMOST LIKE I WAS IT IS SORT OF
LIKE TECHNICAL CLEANUPS OF
THINGS THAT JUST WEREN'T
ANTICIPATED IN.
SOME OF THE PASSED STREAMLINING
BILLS THAT WERE DONE AS THEY'RE
TRYING TO ENACT -- THE FUNDING
THAT THE VOTERS YOU KNOW HAVE
VOTED ON IN LOS ANGELES IN YOUR
PEOPLE VOTED ON THIS
ANTICIPATING THAT THESE PRODUCTS
WILL GET BUILT.
AND THEY'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE
SORT OF ADMINISTRATIVE KIND OF
HANG UPS IN THE PROCESS.
OF ENACTING THE CLEAR WILL OF
THE VOTERS OF LOS ANGELES RIGHT
AND AND I GET THAT I GUESS I'M --
AND I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THIS IDEA
AND JUST WHEN WE GO BACK IN TIME
TO THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE GO
THROUGH AND PICK SOMETHING OR
PROVE SOMETHING.
THAT THE VOTERS THOUGHT IN LOS
ANGELES AND IT WAS ALREADY
APPROVED I THINK THAT'S A
BACKWARDS WAY OF DOING THINGS
WHICH IS WHAT SEEMS LIKE WHAT
HAS HAPPENED HERE.
THOUGH I'M SUPPORTIVE OF THE
IDEA I JUST WE HAD A NUMBER OF
BILLS COME THROUGH RELATED TO
SEEK WAY EXEMPTIONS AND THINGS
LIKE THAT PER HOUSING THAT HAVE
NOT BEEN -- APPROVED -- THAT
HAVEN'T BEEN DISTRICTS SPECIFIC
BUT I GUESS I DON'T WANT TO SEE
A PATTERN OF GOING BACK IN TIME
AND SORT OF TRYING TO FIX THINGS
BECAUSE A PARTICULAR.
CITY OF ONE AT A LARGE CITY LOS
ANGELES WHICH HAS A NUMBER
MEMBERS -- GETS TO GO BACK IN
TIME AND CHANGE THE BILL BUT
WITH THAT THANK YOU FOR THE
CLARIFICATION APPRECIATE THINK
WE'LL UNDERSTAND THAT OF WE
DON'T SORRY -- BUT BUT I DO.
THANK YOU SO I JUST WANT TO
CLARIFY SO IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE
THIS IS AN EXEMPTION PER SE BUT
THIS IS A CURRENT LAW AND WE ARE
CLEAR FINE.
AT TO NARROWLY ADAPT TO THIS.
CURRENT LAW FOR THIS BILL IS.
MATT MATT MATT THAT'S NOT LEAST
MISTER SANTIAGO AFTER.
CURRENT LAW WHEN THIS WAS WITHIN
THIS WAS PASSED.
WAS THAT IT WOULD BE SEAT
BECAUSE STREAMLINING -- INVOLVED.
THAT WAS BASED ON A BILL -- MY
MEMORY.
RECOLLECTS THAT THE TWO MEMBERS
NOW SIR IF YOU'RE ONE OF THE
MEMBERS ACTUALLY -- WITH
DISCUSSES WHO BELIEVE DID IT HI.
I BELIEVE IS -- AB SEVENTY THREE
IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN BUT I THINK
WE CAN CLEAR THAT UP FOR YOU
[inaudible]
THIS PASSES.
SO GET VOTERS THOUGHT THAT WE
CAN GET THIS DONE NOW THERE'S
THIS OTHER ITEM THAT POPS UP
WHICH IS THOSE ACTIVITIES
RELATED -- TO DEVELOPING -- WE
COULD STREAMLINING THOSE
ACTIVITIES RELATED TO IT.
MEDIAN TRANSFER OF LAND TRANSFER
MONEY TO CHATTER WEREN'T WERE
SOMEHOW NOT IN THERE SO WE'RE
LOOKING AT SO IT'S NOT
NECESSARILY -- COMPLETE SO WE'RE
COMING BACK AND SAYING SINCE
THIS LAST PIECE WAS NOT INCLUDED.
LET'S JUST INCLUDE IT MEANING
THESE ACTIVITIES.
SUCH AS THE ONES STATED TRANSFER
PROPERTY TRANSFER DOLLARS THE
REAL STATE.
SO THE IT'S ALREADY SEQUEL
STREAMLINED.
SOME OF THESE ACTIVITIES.
MAY NOT BE EVEN THOUGH THE
TECHNICAL TRANSACTIONS IS I
WOULD AS I WAS EXPLAINING
[inaudible]
MAKES SENSE.
SO.
OKAY SO JUST TO YOU KNOW TRY TO
TAKE ANOTHER WHACK A CLARIFYING
THIS LITTLE IT DOES EXPAND.
THE SEQUESTERING LINING FROM THE
ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION OF A PROJECT
NOW TO THE ADOPTION OF THE
ORDINANCE OR TO THE FINANCING AS
WELL.
SO IT DOESN'T IT DOESN'T CHANGE
THE SCOPE IN TERMS OF AN ACTUAL.
HOUSING PROJECT WE'RE STILL
TALKING ABOUT A PARTICULAR
HOUSING PROJECT WHERE UNDER
CURRENT LAW THE HOUSING PROJECT
ITSELF THE CONSTRUCTION.
HAS A SICK WAS STREAMLINING.
BUT THE ORDINANCE THAT WOULD
CREATE.
THAT HOUSING PROJECT MAY NOT
UNDER CURRENT LAW SO THEY WANTED
TO CLARIFY THAT IT WOULD ALSO
HAVE IT.
AND THE FINANCING PART FOR THAT
SAME EXACT PROJECT THE PROJECT
WE KNOW THE BUILDING OF THE
PROJECT HAS A SECRET
STREAMLINING BUT THE CREATION OF
AN ORDINANCE. TO CREATE THAT
PROJECT OR THE FINANCING TO
FINANCE A PROJECT MIGHT NOT HAVE
THE SAME SEEK WAS STREAMLINING
SO I THINK SO CITY UP TO MY
UNDERSTANDING AND PLEASE CORRECT
ME IF I'M WRONG IS CITY OF LOS
SANTOS WANTS TO MAKE CLEAR.
THEY WANT TO EXPAND IT SO THAT
THAT'S ALSO HAS THIS WEEK WAS
STREAMLINING.
THE WE KNOW THE BUILDING THE-CONSTRUCTION OF THE BUILDING
ALREADY HAS IT I THINK THAT THIS
DOESN'T CHANGE THAT BUT IT DOES
EXPAND THAT SHE WAS STREAMLINING
NOW TO THE PASSING OF AN
ORDINANCE.
OR TO THE FINANCING OF THE
PROJECT.
DOES THAT HELP IT IS NOT IS THAT
YOUR CREW UNDERSTANDING TO I
DON'T WANT IN THE WORD AND I AM
SURE AND I THINK YOU DID A GOOD
JOB OF DIFFEENTIATING BETWEEN
THE BUILDING OF A AND AND THE
LEAD LEG GALA THE OF THOSE
PROCESSES SITE PATIENTS STARTED
THERE.
BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH THAT
DOES NOT USE. FOR LOS ANGELES.
WE GET CHALLENGED WHEN WE
IMPLEMENT THESE PROJECTS
ESPECIALLY WITH THE EDICT THAT
THE BEAR HAS ISSUED THE
CHALLENGE COUNCIL MEMBERS AT ALL
FIFTEEN PARTS.
A DISTRICTS WITHIN THE CITY OF
LOS ANGELES TO IDENTIFY PARCELS
A FOR THE SITES AND SO ANYTHING
THAT ADDS THE CLARITY WITH
RESPECT TO THE PLANNING IN THE
FINANCING OF THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT WE WELCOME BECAUSE THERE
WAS ALREADY STE -- STATUTES ON
THE BOOKS THAT PROVIDED
EXPEDITED PROCESS UNDER SYKORA
FOR DIRECTING THESE TEMPORARY
HOMELESS SHELTERS AND OF COURSE --
SOCIAL TO THAT WE GOT VOTER
APPROVAL FOR LARGER FUSION OF
FUNDING AND YOU KNOW AS I STATED
EARLIER ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE
BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY
CONSTITUENTS -- THEY'VE TAX
THEMSELVES AND SO MANY DIFFERENT
WAYS AND WHEN THEY DRIVE TO AND
FROM WORK THEY STILL SEE PEOPLE
SEE SLEEPING ON THE STREETS.
AND SO WE ARE TRYING TO FOLLOW
THROUGH ON THE PROMISE MADE MAKE
IT EASIER -- FOR LOCAL OFFICIALS
IN THEIR OWN DISTRICTS IN THE
CITY WRIT LARGE.
TO KIND OF HANDLE COMMUNITY
CHALLENGES TO COME FORWARD BUT
STILL BE RESPONSIVE AND GET THE
PROJECTS BUILT SO PEOPLE CAN GET
OFF THE STREETS.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
FROM THE COMMITTEE.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE?
OTHER THAN TO SAY THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR YOUR WORK ON ON ON THIS

PROGRAMS -- WE TALK ABOUT THESE
FOR A FEW YEARS THIS IS ONE OF
THE ORIGINAL EARLY EPR PROGRAMS-THAT WAS PASSED AND WE'VE HAD
SOME STRUGGLES GETTING IT
IMPLEMENTED -- AND GETTING
COMPLAINTS FROM THE
MANUFACTURERS -- THIS BILL
NOTABLY DOES TWO THINGS AND I
WANT TO SPEAK TO WHAT THE
OPPOSITION PUT THEIR LETTERS
REALLY QUICKLY -- ONE ON THE
BRIDGE PLANET ESSENTIALLY
CREATES A MECHANISM IN LAW WHICH
DOES NOT EXIST RIGHT NOW FOUR IF
A STEWARDSHIP PLAN I WERE TO BE
DISAPPROVED OR GO TO FONG THEY
WOULD BE IN POSSESSION OF
CALIFORNIA FEE PAYER MONEY.
WHAT THIS BILL DOES IT SAYS HEY
YOU NEED TO HAVE AN ESCROW
ACCOUNT TO MAKE SURE IS THAT
MONEY FLOWS TO THE PURPOSES FOR
WHICH IT WAS INTENDED?
AND AND IS SAFE NOW WE'VE TALKED
TO THE OPPOSITION WE'VE TALKED
TO COVER CYCLE A LOT OF THIS
FLOWS FROM TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS
THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THEM -- WE
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE COULD BE
SOME HICK UPS AS FAR AS THE ONE
YEAR -- THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT
GOES AND OF TIME OVER WHICH THAT
WOULD GO AND AND SPEAKING UP FOR
MY CLINTS WERE MORE THAN HAPPY
TO WORK OUT THOSE DETAILS THIS
ISN'T ABOUT -- A GOTCHA OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT IT'S ABOUT
PROTECTING CALIFORNIA FEE PAYER
MONEY -- SECONDARILY -- THE
LANGUAGE TO ADJUST THE PENALTIES
SLIGHTLY -- IT GETS RID OF A
THOUSAND DOLLAR LEVEL PENALTY
AND CREATES A TEN THOUSAND
DOLLAR LEVEL PENALTY -- AND ALSO
GETS RID OF THE LANGUAGE --
ABOUT WILL FULL -- BUT NEGLIGENT
ETCETERA -- I DO WANNA MAKE A
QUICK NOTE THEY SAY I BELIEVE IN
THEIR LETTER THAT THIS THERE'S
NO OTHER IF YOUR PROGRAM WITH
THIS PENALTY LEVEL.
SB -- TWO ONE TWO LAST YEAR
JACKSON TING AND GRAY -- ON
PHARMACEUTICALS HAS A TEN
THOUSAND DOLLAR BASE PENALTY
LEVEL -- AND A FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLAR PENALTY LEVEL FOR WILL
FULL NEGLIGENT -- IT CETERA THAT
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR PENALTY
LEVEL IS NOT HERE THIS AMENDMENT --
IS CONSISTENT WITH THE LAST YOUR
BILL THAT WAS DONE IN THE STATE
LEGISLATURE HAS ONE ECHO AND
POINT THAT OUT.
AND THE REASON THAT WE'RE HERE
VERY QUICKLY.
WE'VE GOT MULTIPLE YEARS OF NON
COMPLIANCE BY THE MANUFACTURERS
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THEY'RE
TRYING THAT THERE ARE CHALLENGES --
BUT THE PROGRAM NEEDS TO BE
WHIPPED INTO SHAPE TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE CALIFORNIA THE PAIR
MONEY THAT WE ARE COLLECTING IS
BEING USED FOR ITS INTENDED
PURPOSE AND WITH THAT I STRONGLY
SUPPORT URGE YOUR SUPPORT FOR
THE BILL.
THANK YOU.

BEHALF OF THE CARPET AND RUG
INSTITUTE OUR MEMBER COMPANIES
ARE PART OF THE STORE TO PLAN
CALLED CARE.
I JUST LIKE MAKE ONE CORRECTION
THERE IS CURRENTLY AN APPROVED
PLAN THAT CARE IS OPERATING
UNDER AND THAT WAS APPROVED
EARLIER THIS YEAR BY CAL RECYCLE
I THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS THAT
THEY ARE TRYING TO MEET BY
SEPTEMBER FIRST AND WE HAVE A
RECYCLING RATE OF 24% OR CARE.
DOES BY THE END OF THIS YEAR.
I AGREE WITH THE WITH THE
SOMEONE AND THAT WE NEED TO HAVE
A CONTINUATION OR BRIDGE PLAN
OUR CONCERN WHICH WAS REYES --
BY JASON IS PUTTING THIRTY
MILLION DOLLARS INTO AN ESCROW
OR TRUST ACCOUNT AND OUR
QUESTION IS WHERE DOES THAT
MONEY COME FROM.
THE MONEY THAT IS CURRENTLY IN
THE CARE ACCOUNT IS GOING TO BE
SPENT DOWN WHATEVER SURPLUS WE
HAVE IT IS PART OF THE PLAN.
THAT IS GOING TO USE FOR
SUBSIDIES IT'S GONNA BE USED FOR
GRANTS.
IN IN DISCUSSIONS WITH CAL
RECYCLE THEY WANTED TO HAVE A
TWO MONTH RESERVE AND THAT'S
WHAT WE'LL BE SPENDING DOWN THE
SURPLUS THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW
SO WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT AN
ADDITIONAL FEE AND CONSUMERS. TO
CREATE ANOTHER THIRTY MILLION
DOLLAR ACCOUNT IS WARRANTED --
THIS ASSESSMENT AND CARBON HAS
BEEN INCREASED GETTING BACK IN
TWENTY ELEVEN FROM FIVE CENTS IT
WAS JUST INCREASED -- NOW IT'S
AT THIRTY FIVE CENTS THE LATEST
INCREASE IN JANUARY FIRST OF
THIS YEAR.
THE SECOND PART OF THE BILL THAT
WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT IS
ABOUT THE FINES HE USED TO BE
THAT IF YOU WERE FIND UP TO TEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS THERE HAD TO BE
A STANDARD OF CONDUCT THAT HAD
BE SHOWN.
YOU HAD TO BE SHOWN THAT YOU'RE
NEGLIGENT THERE'S INTENTIONAL
MISCONDUCT OR KNOWING THIS
CONDUCT WE BELIEVE THAT IS VERY
IMPORTANT.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU APPARATUS THE
STEWARDSHIP PLAN YOU DON'T HAVE
ANY DIRECT CONTROL YOU'RE
WORKING WITH PROCESSORS TO
WORKING WITH RECYCLERS YOU'RE
WORKING WITH -- COLLECTORS AND
MANUFACTURES.
YOU'RE WORKING WITH THEM AND
YOU'RE GETTING AGREEMENTS WITH
THEM SAYING THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE
PROMISING TO DO CERTAIN THINGS
BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS WHAT WE SEEN
AS WE MAY HAVE AN EQUIPMENT
FAILURE SOME OP PROCESS OR MAY
HAVE AN EQUIPMENT FAILURE.
WE HAD ONE COMPANY THIS YEAR
THAT SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE
ABLE TO TAKE THIRTY MILLION
POUNDS OF CARPET.
AND THEN THE COMPANY WAS SOLD
AND SO THAT FACILITY IS NO
LONGER RECYCLING CARPET THAT'S
SOMETHING BEYOND OUR CONTROL SO
WE BELIEVE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
TO HAVE A STANDARD OF CONDUCT
WHERE TO MINISTER TO LECTURE.
JUDGE CAN LOOK TO SEE WHERE YOU
NEGLIGENT IN YOUR DUTIES.
IN YOUR DUTIES WERE YOU
INTENTIONALLY WRONGFUL IN THE
WAY YOU CONDUCTED YOUR BUSINESS
SO WE BELIEVE THAT THAT IT'S
VERY ARBITRARY -- WE THINK THAT
THAT SHOULD BE REINSTATED AND IF
GORDON MISTER SMELTER THAT YOU
KNOW WE IN THE WEST OR CHIP PLAN
THAT THEY HAVE -- THAT STANDARD
THEY REMOVE THAT STANDARD BUT I
WOULD JUST SAY THAT THE
PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY I THINK
IT'S PROBABLY A HUNDRED TIMES
BIGGER THAN THE CARPET INDUSTRY.
AND SO THE NUMBERS THAT ARE IN
THAT BILL I DON'T THINK COULD BE
APPLICABLE TO HEAR FINALLY I'D
LIKE TO CONCLUDE IS THAT OVER
THE LAST -- DURING THE MOUNT OF
THIS PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE GIVEN
AWAY EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS IN
GRANTS FORTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS IN SUBSIDIES AND WHILE
THE CARPET RATE CONTINUES TO
INCREASE WE HAVE SEEN THE
DIFFICULTIES OF LIKE CAL
RECYCLING TRYING TO MEET THE
OVERALL RECYCLING RATE OF THE
STATE WHICH IS.
SUPPOSED TO BE 75% AT THE END OF
THIS YEAR.
THEY STARTED A 52% SEVERAL YEARS
AGO THERE AT 42% RIGHT NOW AND
THE CLIENT SO THAT SHOWS YOU
THAT CREATING AN INTRICATE
RECYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE IN
CALIFORNIA IS VERY DIFFICULT.
BUT WE BELIEVE CALIFORNIA WILL
MEET ITS GOALS ON CARPET AND WE
CONTINUE TO THINK WILL CONTINUE
TO THRIVE BECAUSE WE ARE THE
FIRST IN THE NATION THANK YOU
VERY MUCH -- I GREW UP IN HERE
ON BEHALF OF MOHAWK INDUSTRIES --
AND AND WERE OPPOSED TO THE BILL --
I I REITERATE SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT -- MISTER POLLOCK SAID
INTEREST IN THE THE
UNPRECEDENTED NATURE OF THE OF
THE OF THE MASSIVE FINES -- FOR
IN TAKING OUT THE KNOWING IN
NEGLIGENT -- STANDARD -- ONE
THING I WANT TO POINT OUT AND I
GUESS I REALLY WANT TO SAY THIS.
ISN'T SOMETHING THAT THE AUTHOR.
HAD INDICATED AS HE WAS CLOSING --
AND THAT HE WAS THIS IS A WORK
IN PROGRESS AND I I REALLY WANT
TO FOCUS ON THAT -- WERE OPPOSED
TO THE WORK IN PROGRESS WE WE WE
WOULD WE WOULD PREFER THIS
COMMITTEE JUST VOTE ON A BILL TO
SAY HEY THIS IS THE BILL AND
THIS IS THE BILL OR VOTING ON
AND AND AND AS AS AMENDED REST
PROPOSED TO BE IN AND FOR THAT
MATTER.
WE WOULD REALLY STRENUOUSLY
OPPOSE A WORK IN PROGRESS
BECAUSE TWO YEARS AGO THE AUTHOR
AND THE SPONSORS ROLLED THROUGH
HERE WITH AB ELEVEN FIFTY EIGHT
AND IT WAS A IT WAS A REALLY A
NOTHING BILL AND WE WEREN'T
OPPOSED TO IT WENT OVER THE
SENATE.
AND THE SENATE.
SUBSTANTIVELY CHANGED IT CAME
BACK TO THIS SITE IN AUGUST AND
AND AND THIS SITE HAD NO CHOICE
BUT TO JUST HAVE A HEARING ON IT
AND JUST.
LET US VENT TO AND THEN PUT IT
ON THE FLOOR SO IT WE THINK HE
THE ASSEMBLY NATURI SOURCES
COMING.
HASN'T IT THE THE THE THE THE
SPONSORING AUTHOR HAVE AN
OBLIGATION TO THE COMMITTEE TO
ACTUALLY VOTE ON A BILL HERE.
AND ACTUALLY ALLOW THE COMMITTEE
CONSULTANTS IN THE IN THE IN THE
FOLKS ON THIS COMMITTEE ACTUALLY
CRAFT THAT BILL RATHER THAN LET
THE SENATE DO IT FOR YOU SO.
SO WE WE WE ASK YOU TO TO YOUR
TO DECIDE YOU KNOW THE THERE'S
SOME THERE'S SOME THERE'S
NOTHING IN THE AUTHOR STATEMENT
I'M IN THE OFFICE FACT SHEET
THAT INDICATES THE NEED FOR A A
TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR NO
NEGLIGENCE FINE.
THERE'S NOTHING -- YOU KNOW
DOCTORS FACTUALLY TALKS ABOUT
THE NEED FOR A BRIDGE PLAN WERE
FINE WITH THE BRIDGE PLAN -- BUT
BUT WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE NOT
FINE WITH HAVING A YEARS WORTH
OF MONEY TIED UP IN IT THAT THAT
THAT'S NOT GONNA HELP THE THE
RECYCLING PROGRAM AND FINALLY --
JUST.
IF WE WANT CARPET RECYCLING IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WORK.
DON'T LET THAT LET THE STORAGE
OF ORGANIZATION DO THEIR JOB
RATHER KEEP COMING BACK HERE
WITH LEGISLATION IF IF IF THIS
WAS NEEDED IF ANY OF THIS OR
ANYTHING.
THAT THAT THE IS PLANNED BY THE
SPONSOR IS NEEDED IT COULD'VE
BEEN DEALT WITH IN AB ELEVEN
FIFTY EIGHT THEY JUST WROTE THE
THEY WROTE THAT BILL.
IT'S ONLY BEEN IT'S ONLY BEEN IN
IMPLEMENTED FOR A YEAR IT WAS
PASSED TWO YEARS AGO TOOK A YEAR
TO IMPLEMENTED IN OUR BACK HERE
WITH ANOTHER BILL.
JUST KIND OF JUST MAKING IT
HARDER FOR THE ORGANIZATION TO
DO THE JOB THAT YOU GUYS PASSED
THEM TO DO SO WE ASK FOR YOU TO
HEAR NO VOTE OR AT LEAST.
VOTE ON A BILL THAT YOU KNOW
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE AGAIN
THAT THAT WILL BE THE SAME BILL.
OKAY.
THANK YOU ANYBODY ELSE WISHING
TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE
BILL.
OKAY SING NUMBER GO BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE [inaudible]
THIS GARCIA.
THANK YOU I KNOW MR CHU HAS BEEN
WORKING ON THIS -- FOR MORE THAN
JUST THIS YEAR -- AND SO DO I DO
APPRECIATE THAT AND SOME OF THE
CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT
UP -- WITH WITH THIS PROGRAM --
ARE HELPING TO GET SOME OF THE
DECISIONS FOR MAKING ON OUR
MATTRESS -- PROGRAM AS WELL BUT
I I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS AND
SOME CONCERNS AS YOU'RE WORKING
ON ON THIS IN THE FIRST ONE IS
TIED TO THE ONE YEAR'S WORTH OF
REVENUE THAT'S BEING SET ASIDE.
AND AND KIND OF THE RATIONALE OR
THE NEED FOR THAT CAN AND IT'S
PART OF WHAT THE OPPOSITION
SPOKE TO CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT.
WELL THIS IS THE VIEW THAT WE
COLLECTED FROM THE CONSUMER.
SO WE ASKED HIM TO DEPOSIT INTO
THE ESCROW ACCOUNT.
THANK YOU YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO
ADD TO THAT.
YEAH LISTEN THE THE LANGUAGE
THAT WE GOT THE ONE YEAR -- WAS
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FROM POWER
CYCLE I THINK.
THE IDEA IS WE WANT TO TALK TO
THE OPPOSITION AND SAY WHAT WHAT
MAKES SENSE PART WE HAVE TO
REMEMBER AN EPR PROCESSES.
IF THEY DISAPPROVE CARES PLAN
AND THEY GO THROUGH THE PROCESS
OF DOING ANOTHER PLAN THEY'RE
GOING TO HAVE TIME LINES THAT
ARE IN THE BILL THERE'S GOING TO
BE NINETY DAYS TO SUBMIT A PLAN
THERE'S GONNA BE A PERIOD TO
REVIEW THE PLAN.
SO IT COULD TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS
TO A YEAR -- TO GET THE NEXT
PLAN IN PLACE AND MOVING SO I
THINK I CAN'T SPEAK FOR POWER
CYCLE OF OBVIOUSLY NOT THAT --
BUT I THINK THE IDEA WAS TO MAKE
SURE THAT THERE WAS ENOUGH MONEY
TO CONTINUE THE ACTIVITIES OF
THE OF THE RISK FOR CYCLING
PROGRAM SO THAT THE RECYCLERS
DIDN'T GO DEFUNCT.
WHILE THE STATE WAS KIND OF
FIGURING OUT ITS BUSINESS WITH
THE PROGRAM SIGN AND A LITTLE
BIT OF THE TIME AND YOU GAVE ME
AND I WILL CONCEDE THAT YOU CAN
GIVE ME THE FULL DESCRIPTION IT
WAS A LOT LESS THAN A YEAR THAT
YOU GOT TO SUBSCRIBE TO ME.
THOUGH FOR THAT PROCESS IN THE
IN THE APPEALS.
ON AND SO MAYBE CAN I HEAR FROM
YOU GUYS ABOUT THE ONE YEAR.
THANK YOU ASSEMBLY WOMAN GARCIA.
WITH THE PLAN EVEN IF THE PLAN
IS NOT IN PLACE THE MONEY WILL
STILL KEEP FALLING INTO
CALIFORNIA YOU CANNOT SELL
CARPET IN CALIFORNIA.
UNLESS YOU PAY AN ASSESSMENT SO
THAT MONEY WILL CONTINUE TO FLOW
IN THE CALIFORNIA IT'S NOT GOING
TO STOP SO THERE WILL BE A FINE
SET UP WITH THE MONEY CONTINUES
TO COME IN TO OPERATE THE
PROGRAM.
THAT'S WHY WE OPERATE TODAY WERE
OPERATING AT THE MONEY COMES IN
WE'RE SPENDING IT ON THE PROGRAM
SO THAT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE.
SO IS THERE A SHORTER TIME LINE
THAT YOU WOULD BE.
ABLE TO DO IT WHAT WE'RE SAYING
THE MONEY IS ALREADY GOING TO BE
THERE WHY DO WE NEED TO TRY
STERN ESCROW UNTIL.
NO TIMELINE YEAH WELL I THINK I
THINK IT WOULD REALLY TRY TO SAY
IS THERE THE IF WE HAVE TO BUILD
INTO A SOME SOMETHING IN WRITING
THAT SAYS YOU KNOW.
WHAT A DIRT THERE WILL BE A A
TRANSITION MECHANISM TO GO FROM
ONE STORE SHIP ORGANIZATION TO
ANOTHER WE'RE FINE WITH THAT THE
THE THE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY?
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S GOING
TO BE SITTING THERE IS GOING TO
BE THIS WOULD BE THE SAME NO
MATTER WHAT WHETHER IF IF CARE
STILL EXISTS AFTER SEPTEMBER
SECOND.
NOT NOTHING CHANGES CHARACTERS
GOES FORWARD THEY THEY DON'T
NECESSARILY THEY WON'T
NECESSARILY NEED A BIGGER
RESERVE AND ANY NEW STORESHIP
ORGANIZATION ISN'T GONNA
NECESSARILY NEED A BIGGER
RESERVE.
AND AND JUST AS A MATTER OF
EQUITY NO CHARACTER STARTED
THEIR STASHED STARSHIP
ORGANIZATION FROM SCRATCH NOBODY
KNOWS.
NOBODY -- NOBODY FOR PRE FUNDED
THEM IN SAID HEY GET GET ROLLING
I MEAN THEY STARTED FROM SCRATCH
AND AND YOU KNOW AND IT'S HARD
AND THEY'RE THEY'RE WORKING NOT
THEY'RE WORKING ON YOU KNOW
FINING AND MARKETS.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS
MONEY YOUR RIGHT IT'S KATE CALM
AND AND WE JUST WANTED TO PUT
THAT INTO A TRUST ACCOUNT.
JACKSON YOU HAVE.
BUT I THINK THE PROBLEM --FROM
THAT JUST A BUREAUCRATIC
PERSPECTIVE IS THAT THERE'S
NOTHING IN THE CURRENT LAW THAT
SAYS WHAT HAPPENS TO THE MONEY
THAT INTO THE IN THE POSSESSION
OF A STEWARDSHIP ORGANIZATION IF
IT IS NO LONGER APPROVED BY
CARMICHAEL.
THERE'S NOTHING HAT SAYS WHAT
HAPPENS TO THE CALIFORNIA FEW
MONEY IF IT'S IN AN ACCOUNT IN
GEORGIA IT JUST IT DOESN'T SPEAK
TO IT.
WHICH WHICH IS MY UNDERSTANDING
THAT THAT'S PART OF THE INTENT
OF THE BILL TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
HAPPENS THERE -- AND WE'RE GOOD
WITH THAT.
YEAH.
AND SO I MEAN IN THAT THERE
SEEMS TO BE SOME COMMON GROUND
AT LEAST ON ON THAT PART OF THE
PROBLEM WE'RE TRYING TO SOLVE.
THE DOLLAR AMOUNT WHETHER IT'S A
WHOLE YEAR'S WORTH OF PERCENT
ESTIMATE THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE A
DISCONNECT THEM.
I WOULD HOPE YOU GUYS KIND OF
COMING DOWN ON THAT WHERE YOU
MIGHT NOT BE HAPPY BUT IT'S
SOMETHING MAYBE A LITTLE LESS
HERE THAN WHAT THEY'RE ASKING.
FOR AND SO I KNOW RIGHT NOW YOU
KIND OF TELL ME NO BUT I HOPE
YOU MOVE CLOSER THAT DIRECTION
AND AND THERE'S A SPACE BECAUSE
BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH
WORK AND THERE IS A BOOM IS THAT
NEED TO HAPPEN HERE.
ALONG THE WAY.
AND THEN MY SECOND QUESTION OF
MY FINAL QUESTION IS ABOUT THE
INTENTIONAL NEGLIGENT NEGLIGENCE
AND WE ARE REMOVING THAT.
IN THIS BILL.
IN FOR FOR THE SPONSOR AND THE
DOCTOR EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THAT'S
IMPORTANT TO HELP US DO A BETTER
JOB AND RECYCLING.
MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE
NEGLIGENCE JUST VERY DIFFICULT
TO PROVE.
SO THAT THAT'S WHY WERE CUT WILL
HAVE TO CONSIDER AND PRETTY MUCH
GIVE THE THE THE THE LAW JUDGES
OF MORE DISCRETION ON HOW MUCH --
THEY FIND A ONE OR TWO IN --
IMPOSE ON ON A DAILY BASIS.
SO IN THE EXISTING BILL THERE IS
EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE COMPLAINING
ABOUT NOW JUST AT A LOWER LEVEL
THERE IS AN EXISTING ONE
THOUSAND DOLLAR PENALTY THAT
DOES NOT REQUIRE THAT THE MAVS
BACK ON INTENTIONAL KNOWING OR
NEGLIGENT SO THE STANDARD IS.
IN CURRENT LAW RIGHT NOW AND IT
IS IN CURRENT LAW AND SB TWO ONE
TWO FOR PHARMACEUTICALS AT TEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS I THINK.
THE REASON THAT WE'RE HERE AND
I'M NOT HERE TO KEEP ANYBODY OUT
BUT WE'VE BEEN IN THIS ENDLESS
ENFORCEMENT LOOP WITH THE
INDUSTRY 201-320-1420. FIFTEEN
TO TWENTY SIXTEEN PLAN WERE THE
PLAN THAT'S IN THE PLACE RIGHT
NOW IS ON A CONTINGENCY BASIS.
IN SEPTEMBER COVER CYCLES GOING
TO TRY TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT
THEY'VE DONE THEIR JOB AS
DESCRIBED IN THE PLAN IF THEY
DON'T.
WE'RE GONNA BE IN THIS POSITION
WHERE WE'RE GONNA BE EITHER
DISAPPROVING A PLANNER REPEALING
A PLAN AND YOUR EARLIER POINT.
I THINK I OBVIOUSLY CAN'T SPEAK
ON BEHALF OF THE DEPARTMENT I
THINK THERE'S A DESIRE FOR MORE
TEETH IN THE ENFORCEMENT.
MECHANISM THAT'S IN CURRENT LAW.
BECAUSE I THINK WE CAN ALL ADMIT
THAT THE ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM
THAT'S IN CURRENT LAW RIGHT NOW
IS NOT WORKING BECAUSE WE'VE
BEEN IN THIS AND LET'S
ENFORCEMENT LIVE. FOR YEARS AND
YEARS AND YEARS.
SO IF I'M INTERPRETING CORRECTLY
YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT BY
REMOVING THIS OR CHANGING THIS
LANGUAGE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
BETTER ENFORCEMENT.
BUT IT'S STILL GOING TO BE THE
LEGAL PROCESS NONETHELESS AND IS
STILL RIGHT.
YES CORRECT THE MET AND THAT'S
MY MY INTERPRETATION OF THE
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE THAT WE
RECEIVE YES.
HI I JUST SAID TO ME WHAT YOU'RE
DOING HERE THAT IF YOU MISS ONE
DEADLINE YOU COULD BE FINED TEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY.
YOU CAN MISS AN ANNUAL REPORT BE
FINED TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY
THE WAY IT'S SET UP RIGHT NOW
AND AS CHASIN INDICATED.
YES -- IS NOT REALLY YEARS WE
HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE WITH A
FINE HE'S LOOK AT ALL THE
INFORMATION AND HE DETERMINED
THAT WE WERE NOT NEGLIGENT.
BECAUSE HE REALIZED THAT WE HAVE
THEIR CONTRACT WITH THIRD PARTY
TO KNOW TO DO CERTAIN THINGS.
SO IN HIS RULINGS HE HAS FOUND
THAT WE WERE NOT NEGLIGENT OR
THERE IS NO INTENTION MISCONDUCT
WHICH WE BELIEVE IS VERY
IMPORTANT.
IF YOU'RE GONNA YOU KNOW WE HAVE
LOTS OF PROGRAMS IN CALIFORNIA
CAL RECYCLE ARE WE ALL GOING TO
HOLD EACH OTHER TO THAT SAME
STANDARD.
BECAUSE VERY HARD TO DO THAT
WHEN YOU'RE RELYING UPON THIRD
PARTIES -- I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR
FOR THE BILL TODAY I I DO YOU.
HAVEN'T HAD STATIONS ABOUT.
REMOVE INTENTIONAL NEGLIGENCE.
THERE'S TIME FOR SALE WE SHE
LITTLE BETTER WE SHOULD BE DOING
IT BETTER BUT WE STILL SCREW UP
I JUST GOT A LETTER ABOUT
SOMETHING I TURNED IN TWO DAYS
LATE AND AM I HAVE TO DEAL WITH
THAT AND MY FIRST GUT REACTION
US LIKE I SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
BUT THEN THEY WERE LIKE YOU
ACTUALLY WERE WAITING FOR LEGAL --
OPINION AND THAT'S WHY I TOOK HE
TOOK TWO DAYS AND SO CYCLE OKAY
WELL THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF AND
STILL GETTING TING.
RIGHT AN SO.
IT JUST REMINDS YOU OF WHY
INTENTIONAL NEGLIGENCE AND
SOMETHING THAT I DO THINK IT'S
SOMETHING THAT'S IMPORTANT HELLO
FOR THE BILL TODAY I DON'T KNOW
IF.
AS THIS BILL MOVES WITH THAT
PIECE I'M GOING TO BE OKAY WITH
THAT DOWN THE ROAD [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
AND JUST TO BE CLEAR THE FINE IS
UP TO TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT HAS TO
BE TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
SO IT DOES GIVE -- OF
FLEXIBILITY TO LOOK AT EACH
PARTICULAR INSTANCE AND TO SAY.
IS IT SOMETHING THAT'S AGREE
JUST ARE NOT IS IT SOMETHING
THAT REALLY WARRANTS THAT KIND
OF FINE OR WAS THERE SOMETHING
THAT HAPPENED THAT WAS OUT OF
THEIR CONTROL SO THERE CAN
CERTAINLY BE A LOT OF DISCRETION --
THAT'S USED THE CARD OTHER
COMMENTS FROM.
COMMITTEE YOUR QUESTIONS.
I'LL BE SUPPORTING THE BILL

RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THE
MAJORITY OF THE SOURCES FOR OF
IGNITION FOR WILD FIRES FROM
HUMAN ACTIVITY INCLUDING
ELECTRIFY THE ENERGY POWER LINES.
DE ENERGIZING POWER LINES IS ONE
OF THE MITIGATION MEASURES SUCH
PROPOSED WHAT WE KNOW OF COURSE
THAT THAT HAS HUGE IMPACT
SOMETIMES ON COMMUNITIES -- AND
A LOT OF OUR WORLD COMMUNITIES
ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO
THIS.
ENERGY STORAGE IN DISTRIBUTED

AFFECTED COMMUNITIES COULD
ENABLE THE CENTRAL LOADS TO
REMAIN SERVICE IN THE FACE OF
MORE FREQUENT GREAT OUTAGES I'M
PROVIDE RESILIENCY FOR THE
COMMITTEE.

THE NINETY FIVE SEVENTEEN NINETY
NINE THANK YOU THANK YOU.
RECENT PRICE SPIKES IN
CALIFORNIA RESULTED IN OVER
EIGHT HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
AND NATURAL GAS PURCHASES TO
SUPPLY ELECTRICITY TO AND USE
CUSTOMERS.
THE ONSET OF THIS WAS UNEXPECTED
IN THE CAUSE NOT YET FULLY KNOWN.
THE UTILITY SERVING MY DISTRICT
EDISON ELLIE W. P. BURBANK WATER
POWER AND GLENDALE WATER POWER
AND THE REPAIRS OF ALL BEEN HIT
HARD BY THESE PRICE SPIKES AND
I'MSURE YOU ALL EXPERIENCE THE
SAME THING IN YOUR DISTRICTS.
AB SEVENTY NINETY NINE REQUIRES
THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION
TO COLLECT AND ANALYZE CERTAIN
DATA REGARDING NATURAL GAS
MARKETS TO DETERMINE THE CAUSES
OF NATURAL GAS PRICE VOLATILITY
EXPERIENCED BY END USERS.
THE CDC WOULD ESTABLISH THE
JOINT AGENCY NATURAL GAS MARKET
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE TO GATHER
ANALYZE AND MAKE REFERRALS TO
THE ENFORCEMENT DIVISION OF THE
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION.
THE BILL IS DESIGNED TO EVALUATE
WHAT DATE IS NEED TO UNDERSTAND
THE UNDERLYING CAUSES A PRICE
VOLATILITY AND THE STEPS OF ME
TAKEN TO LIMIT.
WHILE MUCH OF THE STATE IS
CURRENTLY SUBMITTED TO THE STATE
IT'S DONE SO IN A PIECEMEAL
FASHION AND THIS WOULD ENSURE
MUCH GREATER GOVERNMENT -- TRIP --
TRANSPARENCY AB SEVENTY NINETY
NINE WILL REQUIRE THE COLLECTION
OF INDIVIDUAL NATURAL GAS
TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION
COMPANY DATA IN A MORE HOLISTIC
AND COMPREHENSIVE MANNER.
THE BILL ALSO DIRECTS ALL LOAD
SERVING ENTITIES I USE MINIS AND
CCA'S TO SUBMIT A WHOLESALE
MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT PLANS.
THESE PLANS BUT INCLUDE HOW THEY
WOULD REDUCE THE RISK FROM PRICE
VOLATILITY IN THE WHOLESALE
ELECTRICITY AND NATURAL GAS
MARKETS BUT WHILE REDUCING
OVERALL GREENHOUSE GASES AN
INCREASE IN THE USE OF CLEAN
ENERGY.
REQUIRING A LECTURE PROVIDERS TO
PLAN FOR UNLIMITED PRICE
VOLATILITY WHILE REDUCING
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
SUPPORTS THE STATE'S CARBON
NEUTRALITY GOALS WHILE
PROTECTING CONSUMERS.
WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY AS A
WITNESS IS LARA NAVARRO WITH THE
ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.
HI EVERYBODY THANK YOU FOR
STAYING SO LATE -- THIS EVENING
THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE BILL MEANT
TO SAVE YOUR CONSTITUENTS
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
WE SAW -- A PRICE SPIKE LAST
YEAR TO THE CALIFORNIA COST
PEOPLE ON THE GROUND HOMEOWNERS --
REAL PEOPLE ALMOST A BILLION
DOLLARS SO THIS BILL IS MEANT TO
TRY TO ADDRESS THE AVOID IT
THOSE SORTS A PRICE SPIKE SO WE
SEE MUCH SMOOTHER PRICES.
IN REAL PEOPLE'S ELECTRICITY AND
ENERGY BILLS SO BASICALLY IT
REQUIRES THE STATE AGENCIES WHO
WORK ON ELECTRICITY ISSUES TO
COLLECT DATA AND ANALYZE THAT
DATA.
THAT WILL GIVE US INFORMATION
WHAT CROSSES PRICE VOLATILITY I
WOULD ALSO REQUIRE LOW SERVING
ENTITIES. TO INCLUDE MEASURES TO
MANAGE THOSE RISKS THAT ARE
IDENTIFIED.
AND SMOOTHED OUT PRICE
VOLATILITY IN THEIR I. R. PEAS
THIS BILL WOULD HELP REAL
CALIFORNIA FAMILIES TO SAVE
MONEY AND HAVE PREDICTABLE
ENERGY BILLS WHICH I THINK WE
CAN ALL APPRECIATE. FOR THESE
REASONS WE RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
AYE VOTE TONIGHT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ANYONE ELSE IN SUPPORT.
