GOOD MORNING.
ONE TWO MISTER CHAIRMAN IT'S
OKAY IF I START WITH SB.
EIGHT FANTASTIC.
WELL THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS -- ISN'T AS MANY OF
YOU REMEMBER I PRESENTED A
SIMILAR BILL TO THIS COMMITTEE.
WOULD BAN SMOKING AT STATE PARKS
AND BEACHES THAT UNFORTUNATELY
AFTER PASSING THE LEGISLATURE BY
A WIDE MARGIN.
THE BILL WAS VETOED BY GOVERNOR
BROWN FOR A SECOND TIME.
SO I'M I'M HOPING THAT TO THE
THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM.
I HAVE HAD THIS LEGISLATION.
BUT THE SB EIGHT WOULD PROHIBITS
POKING AT UNIT AT THE STATE PARK
SYSTEM.
AND MAKE IT INTO AN FOR
INFRACTION PUNISHABLE BY A FINE
OF UP TO TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS.
THE SMOKING PROHIBITION
CONTAINED IN THIS BILL WOULD BE
ENFORCED ONLY AFTER SIGNS HAVE
BEEN POSTED.
THE BILL ALSO ALSO AUTHORIZES
THE DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND
RECREATION. TO DESIGNATE AREAS
AS EXEMPT FROM THE SMOKING
PROHIBITION.
RECORDED THE AMERICAN LUNG
ASSOCIATION TOBACCO KILLS OVER
FORTY THOUSAND CALIFORNIANS
EVERY YEAR.
SECONDS THOUSANDS MORE AND COST
THE STATE MORE THAN TWENTY EIGHT
BILLION AND HEALTH CARE MEDICAID
AND LOST PRODUCTIVITY.
ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS OF
SMOKING AND HEALTH CARE COSTS
THE STATE ARE WELL KNOWN BUT
SMOKING ALSO HARMS THE
ENVIRONMENT IN SIGNIFICANT WAYS.
CIGARETTE BUT THROUGH A MAJOR
SOURCE OF WASTE AND LETTER.
CIGARETTES ALSO BECAUSE WILD
FIRES.
ACCORDING TO CAL FIRE ABOUT FOUR
HUNDRED FIRES HAVE BEEN CAUSED
BY SMOKING FOUR HUNDRED FIRES
CAUSED BY SMOKING SINCE.
TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN BANNING
SMOKING AT STATE PARKS IS THE
NEXT STEP IN ADDRESSING THE
PUBLIC HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSEQUENCES ASSOCIATED WITH
SMOKING.
AND APPRECIATE YOUR
CONSIDERATION TODAY FOR THIS
LEGISLATION I HAVE SO WHAT THIS
IS HERE IN SUPPORT -- BRANDON

THE CIGARETTE **** CONTAIN OVER
A HUNDRED FIFTY TOXIC CHEMICALS
THAT ONCE DISCARDED ARE CONSUMED
BY WILDLIFE BOTH FISH AND BIRDS --
AND THEY CAN EVEN LEACH INTO THE
WATER SUPPLY AND TAKE THE WATER
QUALITY THAT BOTH HUMANS AND
ANIMALS CONSUME.
THEY POSE OVER 20% OF THE WASTE

POPULATION IN THAT AREA.

AND I'LL PROBABLY DO THESE HOOPS
MORALIST FAR FORM.
SO -- THE FIRST ONE IS
PRESERVATION OF THE ALAMEDA
TESLA EXPANSION AREA IT'S A
LOCAL PRIORITY.
AND SB SEVEN SIX SEVEN IS A
DISTRICT MEASURE.
ALL OF THE ALAMEDA TESLA EXPANSE
SUSPENSION AREA ALSO KNOWN AS
TESSLER TESLA PARK.
IS LOCATED IN ALAMEDA COUNTY.
SB SEVEN SIX SEVEN DOES NOT
ESTABLISH ANY STATEWIDE
PRESIDENT IT ADDRESSES A
SPECIFIC.

SCIENCE CONFIRMS THAT OHB USES
DAMAGING.
CARNEGIE I THINK AS AS YOU

CALIFORNIA FOR THE FUTURE.
THE ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY RICH
BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY AND
HISTORIC RELEVANCE OF TESLA ARE
TOO IMPORTANT A SACRIFICE THAT

HI ASK UP FOLKS -- WISHING TO
GIVE TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION.
THIS CALL FOR STUFF YOU GUYS
.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIRMAN
TERRY MCHALE OVER THERE AND READ
AND ASSOCIATES REPRESENTING THE
COALITION OF OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLE --
RECREATION STE.
THIS THIS IS A CONTROVERSY THAT
THE AUTHORS CRACK FOR TWENTY
YEARS WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION.
AND IT'S LIKELY THAT WE WILL
DISCUSS IT FOR ANOTHER TWENTY
YEARS WE DON'T DO SOMETHING.
AND SO WHILE WE'RE VERY
RESPECTFUL OF WHAT THE AUTHORS
PROPOSED.
WE OPPOSE IT FOR ONE SIMPLE
REASON.
WE BELIEVE LAST YEAR THIS
COMMITTEE THE LEGISLATURE WE
SPENT AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF
TIME.
WORKING ON A BILL THAT.
UPDATED OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLE
RECREATION THERE ARE EIGHT OF
THE TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY PARKS
WE HAVE MORE SCIENTISTS WORKING
OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLE RECREATION
IN THE OTHER.
WE SPEND MORE TIME PROTECTING
CULTURAL AND NATURAL RESOURCES
THAN ANY OTHER -- IN THIS
PARTICULAR INSTANCE IN TESLA WE
HAVE SPENT MORE TIME THAN ANY
OTHER MAKING SURE THAT THIS IS A
LEGITIMATE PLACE FOR OFF HIGHWAY
VEHICLE RECREATION.
HOWEVER THERE IS EXTRAORDINARY
LOCAL OPPOSITION.
AND IT WILL LIKELY CONTINUE.
AND AS LONG AS MR GLAZERS IN THE
LEGISLATURE AND AS LONG AS I'M
ALIVE WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE A
BILL LIKE THIS INTRODUCED UNTIL
THERE IS RESOLUTION.
OUR PROBLEM WITH THE BILL IS
THAT THERE IS THE IDEA.
THAT WE WILL HAVE A HEARING AND
THAT THE STATE PARKS WILL CHANGE
THEIR MIND.
AND SUDDENLY TURN OVER THIS
PLACE THAT IS SET ASIDE FOR OFF
HIGHWAY VEHICLE RECREATION AND
TURN IT OVER TO THE LOCALS.
MY BELIEF IS IF WE'RE GOING TO
DO THAT HEARING.
THEN THERE SHOULD ALSO BE A
CONSEQUENCE FOR THOSE THAT MR
GLAZER SENATOR GLAZER REPRESENTS.
THE IDEA THAT WE DO THIS HEARING
AND IF IT TURNS OUT THAT PARKS
IS DONE EVERYTHING THEY ARE
SUPPOSED TO DO.
THEN WE QUICKLY.
PUT IN THE OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLE
RECREATION ACTIVITY AS IT WAS
PROPOSED TO DO THAT WE MOVE
FORWARD.
THAT WE NOT HAVE THIS HEARING IN
THIS DISCUSSION EVERY SINGLE
YEAR.
BOB I'LL CLOSE BY SAYING I DO
APPRECIATE SENATOR GLAZERS
OFFICE IN HIM PERSONALLY. FOR
HIS WILLINGNESS TO TALK TO US
AND I ASKED FOR A NO VOTE THANK
YOU.
THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS.
I'M ANY GRANTED ON BEHALF OF THE
OFF ROAD VEHICLE LEGISLATIVE
COALITION -- I AM JUST AN OFF
ROADER.
AND THIS IS THE THIRD YEAR IN A
ROW THAT I FIND MYSELF IN THE
POSITION OF HAVING TO DEFEND.
THE FORM OF RECREATION THAT I
LOVE IS THIS.
BILL IS TARGETED DIRECTLY AT ME
AND BY EXTENSION THOSE THAT I
REPRESENT.
FRANKLY WE DON'T UNDERSTAND IT
WE'RE ALREADY.
OF PROTECTING THE RESOURCE AND
ALL THE MENTION OF THE PRISTINE
NATURE IS BECAUSE ALL THE WORK
THE PARK IS PUT INTO IT FOR THE
PAST TWENTY YEARS [inaudible]
BESIDES THAT.
WE OWE IT SHOULD BE OUR DIVISION
OF STATE PARKS ALREADY HAS THE
HIGHEST LEGISLATIVE MANDATE
HIGHER THAN ANY PRIVATE ENTITY
HIGHER THAN ANY OTHER STATE PARK.
TO PRESERVE NATURAL AND CULTURAL
RESOURCES WE ARE HOLD LITTER OF
HELD LITERALLY TO A HIGHER
AUTHORITY [inaudible]
IN.
SO IT'S WITH FRUSTRATION THAT WE
ASK YOU TODAY -- TO FOR NO VOTE.
WE DO AGREE WITH MR MCHALE THAT
THIS IS AN ISSUE.
THAT ONCE STARTED ONCE THIS
LITTLE TOLL HOLD IS ACHIEVED --
IT WILL GO AGAINST EXISTING PARK
IT WILL THEN GO FURTHER DOWN THE
STATE AND BEFORE WE KNOW WHAT WE
WILL HAVE EVERY STATE PARK.
EVERY THAT CATERS TO WHICH WE
ARE CREATION TARGETED BECAUSE
SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO SPOKE IN
FAVOR HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT.
THEY HAVE ALREADY.
TARGETED US BECAUSE THEY DON'T
LIKE OUR FORM OF RECREATION --
IN REALITY WE'RE JUST SORT IN
NORMAL PEOPLE WHO LIKE GOING OUT
WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND HAVING A
GOOD TIME [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN
OPPOSITION TO THE MEASURE GOOD
MORNING MISTER CHAIRMAN CAPPING
LUNCH REPRESENTING THE OFFER
REAL VEHICLE LEGISLATIVE
COALITION AND I'M IN STRONG
OPPOSITION THIS BILL FOR ALL THE
REASONS STATED AND WE TO WORKED
ON LEGISLATION -- WITH SENATOR
ALLEN IN THIS COMMITTEE IN THE
PAST YEAR THANK YOU.
NO ONE ELSE.
BRING BACK TO DIS ANY QUESTIONS
FROM THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
WE DO HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
A QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS SEEN
NONE WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE
THANK YOU THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN A COUPLE THINGS IN
CLARIFICATION -- THE REFERENCE
TO LEGISLATION AND AND THE PASS
WAS THAT'S BE TWO FORTY NINE BY
ALLEN WHICH EXTENDED THE EIICHI
PROGRAM.
NOTHING IN THIS LEGISLATION
INTERFERES WITH THAT -- OVERALL
POLICY FRAMEWORK THAT YOU
APPROVED IN THE LEGISLATURE
APPROVED IN THE GOVERNOR SIGNED.
THIS BILL ONLY PROVIDES AN
OPTION FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF
PARKS AND REC ONLY AN OPTION. TO
BE CLEAR WE HAVE AN OFF ROAD
HIGHWAY VEHICLE PARKED RIGHT
THERE NEXT DOOR THIS PROPERTY
IT'S IN OUR DISTRICT.
YEAH IT'S ACTIVELY USED ALTHOUGH.
THE ACTIVITY HAS GONE DOWN.
BUT IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT
THAT MEANS TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
THERE'S A PICTURE OF THE THE
CARD HE PROPERTY AND TEN WHAT
OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLE USE DOES TO
THE ENVIRONMENT THAT HAS A LOT
OF IMPACTS OKAY.
AND SO THAT'S EXISTING USE --
NEXT DOOR TO THIS PROPERTY.
AND AND THIS IS THE A PICTURE OF
THE PROPERTY THAT WE'RE TRYING.
TO GIVE THE OPTION OPTION TO THE
DEPARTMENT TO PRESERVE IF THEY
CAN'T WORK OUT THERE OFF HIGHWAY
EXPANSION IN THIS SPACE DOESN'T
INTERFERE WITH THEIR EXPANSION
pIT'S IN THE COURTS IS GOING TO
BE THERE FOR A LONG TIME THEY'RE
GONNA SPEND MILLIONS DEFENDING
IT WE WANT TO GIVE THE
DEPARTMENT AN OPTION.
THAT THEY SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
THEY CAN GET ALL THEIR MONEY
BACK THIS BILL REQUIRES THAT NOT
TO THE ANDS BE GIVEN AWAY THEY
HAVE TO BE HAS TO BE SOLD.
AND AT A MINIMUM THEY HAVE TO
GET ALL THEIR MONEY BACK -- THAT
CAN GO INTO THAT FINE FOR OTHER
OFF HIGHWAY USE IN OTHER PARTS
OF THE STATE OR EVEN IN OUR AREA
BUT THERE'S A PROCESS FOR THAT --
FINALLY I WANNA SAY THANK YOU TO
THE MANY PEOPLE WHO TRAVELED
HERE FROM FAR AND WIDE TO BE A
PART OF THIS YEAR HEARING MISTER
CHAIRMAN I'M SORRY IT TOOK SO
LONG -- BUT THERE IS A LOT OF
PASSION LOCALLY THAT'S WHY WE'RE
HERE. TO GIVE AN OPTION TO THE
DEPARTMENT IF THIS CONFLICT AS
ENOUGH IT AS BEEN DONE. TO OUT

AND AND IT'S KIND OF BEEN A
LITTLE THING I'VE BEEN
CONTINUALLY BRINGING UP.
OUR PARKS HAVE A TREMENDOUS
TREMENDOUS.
AMOUNT OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
AND IS RECOGNIZED AT THE
NATIONAL PARKS IN THIS CASE.
THE CHAIR AND I'VE TALKED ABOUT
THIS AT LEAST FOR OUR STATE
PARKS.
WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING TO STEP
UP TO THE PLATEIS THIS AS THE
STATE.
SHOULD WITH ITS BUDGET.
TO HELP THE ALL THOSE DEFERRED
ACTIONS THE NATIONAL PARK IS
ACTUALLY WAITING ON HIS ACTION
AND IS STATED.
THAT THEY OPPOSE IT.
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD TAKING
ON MORE OF THE MAYOR OF THIS AND
THE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE IS JUST
[inaudible]
TREMENDOUS SO.
HOW CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT ISSUE
BY ADDING MORE?
ACREAGE TO AN OVERBURDENED
[inaudible]
PARK ALREADY -- YEAH THOUGH I
THINK THAT'S A GREAT CONSIDER
THE A GREAT QUESTION AND CONCERN --
YOU KNOW AND SOMETIMES WE DON'T
THINK ABOUT MAINTENANCE AND LIKE
YOU SAID OUR OUR NATIONAL PARKS
ARE OVERBURDENED BUT I THINK
THAT.
IN THE FUTURE THAT WE YOU KNOW
AS PART OF THIS RESOLUTION THAT
WE SHOULD BE WORKING ON A PLAN --
FOR MAINTENANCE OF THAT AREA I
THINK IT'S MORE IMPORTANT -- TO
PUT TO ADD GREEN SPACE TO THIS
AREA THAT IT'S SORELY NEEDS YOU
KNOW THIS IN LOS ANGELES WHICH
INCLUDES MY DISTRICT -- AND
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'M
WILLING TO WORK ON WITH THE GUT
WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND
OUR STATE PARKS ON YES WHAT AND
I APPRECIATE THAT.
AND JUST SO I KEEP IT FRESH IN
EVERYONE'S MIND -- YOU'RE
PROBABLY AWARE HOW MANY ACRES
MAKE UP THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY O'DONNELL
NUMBER STATE WILL STAY AWHILE NO
I DON'T TWO HUNDRED AND ONE
MILLION ACRES.
AND OF THAT HUNDRED AND ONE HOW
MANY ARE ACTUALLY ALREADY AND
PARKS AND PRESERVED.
I DON'T KNOW YEAH PLEASE TELL ME
OVER FIFTY THREE MILLION.
AND OF THE REMAINING BALANCE
THAT'S ON THE BOOKS WE USE LESS
THAN ONE FIFTH. FOUR PEOPLE
CURRENTLY IN THE STATE.
WE HAVE GREEN SPACE AND IT'S NOT
IN MY DISTRICT IN MY AREA AT
THIS IT ROOM OF THE VALLEY WOULD
ADD GREEN SPACE TO AN URBAN AREA.
THE HAS BEEN IGNORED THAT HAS
POOR AIR QUALITY AND VERY LITTLE
GREEN SPACE -- SO THAT'S WHAT I
THAT'S WHY I'M PRESENTING THIS.
RESOLUTION I GET THAT I JUST
LIKE TO KEEP.
FRESH IN EVERYONE'S MIND WE HAVE
A TON TO PRESERVE OUR THE
PROBLEM IS WE DIDN'T MAYBE
NECESSARILY.
COULD A PARKED EVERYWHERE THAT
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN FACT IN
MANY CASES LANDS WERE ACQUIRED
THAT WERE SLATED FOR PARKS IN
THE STATE.
GO BACK AND CHECK THE HISTORY
YOU'LL FIND THAT.
WE TOOK IT AWAY FROM THE PARKS
AND WE PUT HOUSES ON IT.
WE COVERED OVER THAT GREEN SPACE
THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED.
TO HAVE.
AND AND AND SAUDI I I AGREE WITH
YOU.
YET IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT'S
HAPPENING HERE.
SO HAVING SAID THAT THE GETS
BACK TO THE POINT HOW DO WE
MANAGE OURSELVES IN THE FUTURE
BECAUSE WE'VE MADE THE MISTAKES
WE KNOW ABOUT THE MISTAKES.
HOW DO WE FIX THAT AND AT THE
SAME TIME COMPENSATE FOR THE
FACT THAT?
WE'RE NOT TAKING CARE OF WHAT WE
DO HAVE.
SO I'M JUST WHAT KIND OF MAKING
A WILL IT IS.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS HERE
I DON'T KNOW THAT CAN SUPPORT IT
TODAY BECAUSE OF THE DEFERRED.
MAINTENANCE ISSUE AND AND THE
FACT THAT THE PARTS OF WAY DâN.
BUT I AGREE WITH YOU THERE'S
MORE SPACE THAT'S NEEDED FOR
CERTAIN AREAS AND OTHER AREAS
WHICH IS FINE.
BUT ONE THING IS REALLY MISSING.
FUNDING TO TAKE CARE OF WHAT WE
ARE GOING TO PUT INTO A PARK.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE
NEED TO WORK ON AS A COMMITTEE
HERE.
I THINK YOUR POINTS ARE WELL
TAKEN.
YEAH I AGREE WITH YOU THANK YOU
FOR BRINGING UP THOSE POINTS AND
I THINK THEY'RE THEY'RE VALID
POINTS TO A YOU KNOW IT IN
ADDITION TO ADDING SPACE TO OUR
PARKS. TO THINKING ABOUT THE
MAINTENANCE RIGHT BECAUSE THEN
THAT'S THE NEXT STEP THAT'S WHEN --
WE HEAR FROM OUR CONSTITUENTS
THAT THEY'RE NOT BEING
MAINTAINED AND OUR END BUT I
THINK THIS IS THE FIRST STEP --
AND I YOU KNOW I AM COMMITTED TO
WORKING WITH THE ELECTED IN MY
AREA -- TO MAKE SURE THAT --
WE'RE WORKING ON A MAINTENANCE
PLAN AND FOR A SPECIAL FUNDING I
MEAN THAT'S WHAT WE NEED.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR WE COME TO
DO A MOTION A SECOND SOME MEMBER
A REQUEST THANK YOU FOR BRINGING
THIS FORWARD FOR ADVOCATING FOR
YOUR DISTRICT.
AND FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

JUST STILL SITTING OUT THERE
SOME OF THE OLD.
OLD STYLE THERE JUST IN OLD
CULVERTS THAT ARE.
COVERED AND I'VE OFTEN WONDERED
WHY WE DON'T UTILIZE THAT
INFORMATION AS BEST WE COULD.
YES THEY WERE IN PLACE -- BUT
NONE THE LESS THE BILL DOES POSE
ANOTHER QUESTION.
IT SAYS THE STREAMS DOES THAT
MEAN ALL STREAMS.
WITHIN HAVE TO BE MONITORED
UNDER YOUR BILL OR WOULD BE JUST
A SELECT ONES THAT ARE BEING
UTILIZED.
CURRENTLY FOR BENEFICIAL
PURPOSES.
THAT WOULD BE MY FIRST QUESTION.

QUESTIONS OF THE BILL WOULD HAVE
THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER

WE WOULD DEPLOY GAUGES.
BASED UPON DIFFERENT PRIORITIES
FOR THE STATE.
OKAY SECOND QUESTION THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF OF STREAMS AND
WATERWAYS THAT HAVE HAD.
STOCK PONDS PLACED ON AND NOW
THE UNDER PREVIOUS LEGISLATIVE
ACTION THEY'RE REQUIRED TO
MONITOR -- AND THOSE.
A STREAMS WITH THAT DISBURSEMENT
WATER WHETHER IT'S USED FOR
OTHER BENEFICIAL PURPOSES OR
JUST USE FOR RETENTION OF WATER.
WITH THE FUNDS FOR THOSE TOOLS
THOSE GAUGES BE PART OF THIS.
OUR ACTION AS WELL SO THAT THE
LAND OWNERS TO GET COST RECOVERY

FAILED TO PROTECT ANIMALS IN
CIRCUSES CLYDE THE LION BAKED TO
DEATH IN A CIRCUS BOX CAR
TRAVELING THROUGH THE MOJAVE
DESERT TO FRESNO.
TEMPERATURES SOARED TO ONE
HUNDRED DEGREES BUT THE CIRCUS
DIDN'T BOTHER TO STOP FOR HIM
AND HUNTINGTON PARK AT TIGER WAS
NEARLY DECAPITATED.
AFTER A CIRCUS CRAMMED HER INTO
A CAGE WITH FIVE OTHER CATS
ANIME SEATED ELEPHANT HAD A DROP
DEAD AFTER SHE PERFORMED AT A
CIRCUS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
ANOTHER ELEPHANT WITH THE
CIRCUITS JOYCE HAD DIED JUST

THERE IS NO CIRCUS IS BASED IN
CALIFORNIA THAT USING ANIMALS WE
NEED TO EVEN THE PLAYING FIELD
WITH THE OUT LIARS.
THE ANIMAL CIRCUSES THE VISIT

THIRD THEY FOUND HIM CONFINED IN
A DOG CARRIER IN THE HOT CAB OF

THEIR FREQUENT AND THEY ARE
EXTREME -- INTENSIVE CONFINEMENT
FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME
EXPOSURE TO STRESSFUL AN
UNFAMILIAR ENVIRONMENTS AND
ABUSIVE TRAINING TECHNIQUES ALL
MAKE THE CIRCUS A MISERABLE
PLACE FOR ANIMALS.
THESE ANIMALS DON'T PERFORM
TRICKS BECAUSE THEY WANT TO DO
SO THEY DO SO BECAUSE THEY'RE
TERRIFIED OF THE CONSEQUENCES IF
THEY DO NOT PERFORM.
AND THIS IS PETER HAS DOCUMENTED
REPEATEDLY THE ANIMALS IN THE
CIRCUS HAVE BEEN TAUGHT THROUGH
VICIOUS BEATINGS BEHIND THE
SCENES.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THEM IF THEY
DO NOT -- BANG -- AND THEY SPEND
MUCH OF THEIR LIVES EVEN DAYS ON
AND LANGUISHING IN DARK BARREN
TRAILERS SO AS A RESULT OF THIS
TREATMENT ANIMALS CAN LASH OUT
IN FRUSTRATION.
MANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN INVOLVED
IN IMPLICATED IN HUMAN INJURIES
AND EVEN IN HUMAN DEATHS -- THE
I'VE SEEN THE FIRST HAND THE
TOTAL FAILURE OF OUR EXISTING
LAWS TO PROTECT THESE ANIMALS

AGENDA.
YOU DO HAVE A DO PASS
RECOMMENDATION -- SENATOR.
SOME OF THE MOTION BY MISS RUBIO.
SECOND BY MS GARCIA DO PASS
RECOMMENDATION THANK YOU SO MUCH
VERY BRIEFLY I HAVE NO NOTES --
BECAUSE THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING
ON THIS BILL.
ASSEMBLY WOMAN FRIEDMAN I FOR A
NUMBER OF YEARS WITH RESPECT.
TO OUR CONSERVATION IS A WAY OF
LIFE A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO IN
THE FACE OF THE DROUGHTS.
BY THE GOVERNOR BROWN -- ISSUED
AN EXECUTIVE ORDER A
DRAMATICALLY REDUCING THE USE OF
WATER IN CALIFORNIA.
HE HAD A TRAILER BILL A COUPLE
OF YEARS AGO THAT WE IN THE
LEGISLATURE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
BETTER THAT THE LEGISLATIVE
BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT BETWEEN
BOTH HOUSES ENGAGE IN THE
PROCESS IS APPROPRIATE.
AND SO IS A TEAM OF MEASURES A
MEASURE BY SENATOR FRIEDMAN.
ASSEMBLY WOMAN FRIEDMAN MAYBE
CENTER FROM DAY -- AND MYSELF TO
BASICALLY MAKE CONSERVATION IS A
WAY OF LIFE THIS MEASURE
CORRECTS.
A A CHALLENGE THAT WAS FACED IN
TERMS OF INTERPRETING WHAT THAT
MEANT IN TERMS OF WHAT THE
CONSERVATION EFFORTS ARE DO YOU
LOOK AT IT AGENCY TOE IN
TOTALITY OF ITS RESIDENTIAL
COMMERCIAL.
AGRICULTURE OF THE USE IN TERMS
OF ITS REDUCTION OR DO YOU LOOK
AT EACH HOUSE WE RECEIVED SOME
CRITICISMS ALONG THE WAY THAT
PEOPLE SAID OH MY GOD I CAN'T
FLUSH MY TOILET TAKE A SHOWER IN
THE SAME DAY.
BECAUSE OF THIS THAT WASN'T THE
INTENT WERE CLARIFYING THAT WITH
THIS MEASURE ASK YOUR SUPPORT.
THEY HAVE WHAT'S AHEAD WITH
CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
ASSOCIATION WE ARE PROUD TO
SPONSOR AND SUPPORT THIS MEASURE --
AS SENATE MAJORITY LEADER
HERTZBERG NOTED -- THERE WAS A
HERCULEAN EFFORT TO ADVANCE
GROUNDBREAKING LEGISLATION TO
MAKE CONSERVATION A WAY OF LIFE
WE WERE PROUD TO SUPPORT THE
FINAL PACKAGE INCLUDING SB SIX
OH SIX AND A. B. -- SIXTEEN
SIXTY EIGHT URBAN WATER
SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR MEETING IN URBAN
WATER OBJECTIVE USE OBJECTIVE
MADE UP OF FOUR COMPONENTS
INDOOR USE OUTDOOR USE.
SEE I DEDICATED YOUR GIPSON
METERS AND WATER LOSS.
THE TOTALS OF EACH COMPONENT
WILL BE ADDED UP TO ESTABLISH A
CUMULATIVE OBJECTIVE FOR EACH
SUPPLIER THIS APPROACH WE FEEL
PROVIDES EACH WATER SUPPLIER THE
FLEXIBILITY TO DECIDE WHICH
AREAS THEY WILL FOCUS ON BASED
WHAT BASED ON WHAT IS BEST FOR
THEIR COMMUNITIES.
HOWEVER IN TWENTY FIFTEEN PRIOR
TO THE PASSAGE OF THE CUT
CONSERVATION BILLS SB FIVE FIVE
FIVE DIRECTED D. W. ARE IN THE
WATER BOARD TO PROMULGATE
REGULATIONS RELATED TO WATER
LOSS.
INCLUDING THE ADOPTION OF
VOLUMETRIC PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
BY TWENTY TWENTY WHEN THE STATE
BOARD ADOPTS THESE REGULATIONS
WATER LOSS WILL BECOME
ENFORCEABLE -- AS A STANDALONE
TARGET UNLIKE ANY OTHER.
ELEMENT IN THE OBJECTIVE.
THIS MEANS THAT IF A WATER
SUPPLIER MEETS THEIR OBJECTIVE
BUT CHOOSES TO FOCUS ON
REDUCTIONS IN OUR WATER USE AND
DOES NOT MEET THEIR WATER LOSS
TARGET.
THEY WOULD FACE AN ENFORCEMENT
ACTION UNDER THE WATER LOSS
REGULATIONS BUT IF SOME REASON
AN AGENCY DOES NOT MEET THEIR
OBJECTIVE BECAUSE THEY'RE HAVING
DIFFICULTY MEETING THE WATER
LOSS STANDARD THE SUPPLIER COULD
FACE TWO SIMULTANEOUS
ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS WERE ONE
VIOLATION.
OF LET ME BE CLEAR WATER
SUPPLIERS ARE COMMITTED TO WATER
LOSS AND WE WANT TO MEET THE
OBJECTIVES THAT ARE OUTLINED IN
THE LEGISLATION.
YOU KNOW AND ACTIVELY REDUCE
WATER LOSS IT MAKES FINANCIAL
AND OPERATIONAL SENSE TO DO SO.
I'M WE FEEL WATER LOSS IS A
CRITICAL COMPONENT IN THE
OBJECTIVE AND THE CAPTURES A
SYSTEMS VARIOUS WATER USES BUT
WE DON'T FEEL IT'S APPROPRIATE
FOR WATER SYSTEMS TO FACE TO
ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS FOR THE SAME
VIOLATION.
WE BELIEVE SB ONE THIRTY FOUR IS
A COMMONSENSE MEASURING
COMPLIMENTS THE EFFORTS OF WATER
SUPPLIERS BY PROVIDING CLARITY
THAT IF A WATER SYSTEM EXCEEDS
THEIR WATER LOSS PERFORMANCE
STANDARD.
AND IT RESULTS IN AN X. EVEN
SERVE THE URBAN YOU SUBJECTIVE
THAT SYSTEM WILL ONLY FACE AND
FOR SOME ACTION UNDER THE WATER
LOSS STANDARDS AND NOT THE
CONSERVATION STATUTES I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE.
BRIEFLY I TURN MEMBERS NIKITA
CROWDY WITH THE NATURAL
RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL WE
WERE PREVIOUSLY OPPOSED SB.
ONE THIRTY FOUR I WE BELIEVE
THAT THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE WE
CAN EXISTING LAW BY MAKING WATER
LOSS PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
UNENFORCEABLE BUT WE REALLY
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S
WILLINGNESS TO BRING.
A SUPPORTERS THE OPPONENTS AND
THE ADMINISTRATION TOGETHER TO
CRAFT A COMPROMISE THAT IS BOTH
FAIR AND BALANCED I'M AND WITH
THAT WE ARE NOW IN SUPPORT THANK
YOU.
THANK YOU OTHERS -- WISHING TO
SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE MEASURE.
PLEASE COME FORWARD.
NATALIE NEXT ON BEHALF OF
FRIENDS OF THE LA RIVER IN
SUPPORT THANK YOU.
JULIE HOLE WITH THE ASSOCIATION
OF CALIFORNIA WATER AGENCIES WE
ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE A POSITION
ON THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE
BILL BUT WE JUST WHEN I THINK
THE AUTHORS OFFICE THE SPONSOR
AND THEN OTHERS THAT ARE
INTERESTED IN THE BILL FOR
CONTINUING TO WORK WITH US ON
THE SPECIFIC.
LANGUAGE IN THE BILL THANK YOU.
PRINT ALSO SERICA CALIFORNIA WE
WANNA ATTRIBUTE OUR COMMENTS TO
THAT OF IN OUR DC WE ORIGINALLY
OPPOSED BUT WE APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR'S MOMENTS IN.
THE FORD WORKING WITH HIM THANK
YOU.
THANK YOU -- THOSE WISHING TO
SPEAK IN OPPOSITION OF THE
MEASURE PLEASE COME FORWARD
[inaudible]
HIS -- DO IT FROM HERE IF THAT'S
OKAY WITH A CHAIR BUT READ.
ON BEHALF OF READ GOVERNMENT
RELATIONS WITH THE WATER
DISTRICTS ARE LISTED ON THE
ANALYSIS IN OPPOSITION.
WE'RE AT THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF
WERE IN OUR DC WAS WE SUPPORTED
THE BILL AS IT WAS INTRODUCED
AND AND NOW FIND OURSELVES IN
OPPOSITION WE APPRECIATE THE
COMPROMISE WITH RESPECT TO
ENFORCEMENT.
BUT IT DOESN'T DEAL WITH THE
FACT THAT WE HAVE TO MEET THE
WATER LOSS STANDARD SEPARATE AND
APART FROM.
THE A COMPROMISE LIST OF
COMPONENTS THAT MAKE UP THE
WATER -- USE OBJECTIVE WE THINK
THE CLEANER UP PLACE WOULD BE TO
JUST PUT THE WATER LOSS STANDARD
IN THE URBAN WATER USE OBJECTIVE
AND NOT HAVE IT BE A SEPARATE
THE STANDARD THAT'S WHY THEY
REMAIN OPPOSED THE BILL.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU WITH A MOTION SECOND
FOR ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK
IN OPPOSITION SAY NO.
ONE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
IT'S A NON THE CENTER WHICH LED
TO SPELLS ASTRONOMICAL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
AS A TO PASS UP PLEASE QUESTION
I'M SORRY.
SENATOR JUST A YOU JUST HEARD
THAT LAST LITTLE CLOSER FROM --
MISTER REED -- IS THERE ANY WAY
TO MAYBE FIND SOME CLARITY.
THE KIND OF DANCING WITH THAT
BALANCE OF OF THE LANGUAGE THERE.
AS HE WAS TALKING ABOUT IS.
MAYBE TO THE SPONSOR THE LOS
ALSO GO BACK BUT BUT THE THE TH
A MY MY THINKING IS THAT THAT.
THEY JUST DON'T READ AND WHAT
WE'VE DONE HERE HOWEVER I DID
TRY.
TO MEET THAT STANDARD I DID TRY
TO ACHIEVE THAT OBJECTIVE IN THE
PROCESS AND BE HAPPY TO CIRCLE
BACK WITH BUT I THINK WE'VE
ACHIEVED THE OBJECTIVE.
AND TO CLARIFY THE POSITION.
YEAH AND I THINK THAT THE ISSUE
IS THE FACT THAT -- THE WATER
LOSS REGULATIONS PREDATED THE
CONSERVATION STATUTES SO THERE'S
AN EXISTING PROCESS IN PLACE
UNDER SB.
FIVE FIVE FIVE SO THAT'S WHY WE
WORK ON THE COMPROMISE WITH THE
SENATOR AND THE OPPOSITION YEAH
WELL I I FOUND MYSELF IN A
PRECARIOUS POSITION I I ACTUALLY
LIKE WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
BUT I'D LIKE TO SEE IF OU CAN
WORK SOMETHING OUT SO IF YOU CAN
DO THAT AWESOME OF COURSE
SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY -- BUT
I I I THINK YOU'VE DONE A LOT OF
GOOD WORK HERE TRYING.
TO WE GOT TOO MANY EXAMPLES I
THINK THERE'S A NUMBER OF OTHER
EXAMPLES FOR WITH LAYERED.
COMPONENTS LIKE THIS AND WE
MULTIPLE TIMES FOR JUST DOING
ONE ACTION SO.
THANK GOD TO IT THOUGH.
THE THIS IS BEEN A THIS PROCESS
TOOK OVER A YEAR OF JUST
EXTENSIVE MEETINGS THE WATER
WILL YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS. TO
TO REACH AGREEMENTS THAT RESPECT
ON CONSERVATION IN PARTICULAR SO
IS ONE SMALL PIECE OF A GIGANTIC
A ENDEAVOR OF A CHANGING AND
REALLY PUTTING IN INTO A
THOUGHTFUL AND THE AND FAR
REACHING CONSERVATION STANDARDS
WHICH REALLY HAVE BROAD ALMOST
EVERYBODY TO THE TABLE.
