CALIFORNIA STATE CITIZENS
REDUCING COMMISSION WHICH
REMOVES FROM PROCESS AND
COMMENTS WITH NO ELECTORAL SELF
INTEREST AND HAVE LINES ARE

IS CONSIDERED THE NATIONAL GOLD
STANDARD BY NOT ONLY REFORMERS
BUT ALSO ACADEMICS WHO STUDY

COMMUNITY.
THAT THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IS
REALLY ROBUST THAT ENGAGES

OF DRIVEN ME WITNESSES
OPPOSITION.
STAND HERE BECAUSE I'M GOING TO
GIVE THE BULLET POINT VERSION OF
OUR OPPOSITION WHICH IS JUST
THAT THIS IMPLEMENT THE MANDATE --
THE MANDATES WILL HAVE TO BE
REIMBURSED BY THE STATE -- THE
STATE HAS SO FAR -- SUSPENDED
ALL OF THE OTHER ELECTION
RELATED MANDATES THAT WE FEAR
THAT THIS WILL MEET A SIMILAR
FATE WHICH WILL IN FACT MAKE IT
OPTIONAL IN LAW INSTEAD OF
REQUIRED WHICH WE THINK IS.
CONFUSING -- FOR THE PUBLIC IN
FOR PUBLIC AGENCIES AND THAT
COUNTIES -- THREE OUT OF FOUR
COUNTY STILL HAVE NOT RECOVERED --
THERE THAT DESCRIBE THEIR TAX
REVENUE SINCE THE RECESSION --
AND THIS WOULD JUST BE AN
ADDITIONAL COST THOSE ARE.
COMMENTS.
THANK YOU THANK YOU MA'AM WITH
THE CHAIR PLEASE IDENTIFY
HIMSELF OR THE WITNESSES SAID
AND IF I'M SELF.
TRYING TO BE BRIEF AND I WAS TOO
BRIEF -- JEFF NEAL WITH THE
CALIFORNIA STATE ASSOCIATION OF
COUNTIES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
OTHERS ANOTHER.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE I JEAN HEARST HERE
TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE URBAN
COUNTIES OF CALIFORNIA AND THE
RURAL COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES OF
CALIFORNIA WE SHARE THE SAME
CONCERNS AS THE SOCK ON ON
FISCAL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH OTHERS IN
OPPOSITION.
SEEING NONE OFANY QUESTIONS THE
COMMITTEE -- SELLING MEMBER OF
RICK ROSS THANK YOU THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR IT'S JUST A QUICK
QUESTION AS FAR AS WORKING WITH
THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THE COUNTY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
HAVE THEY BEEN ABLE TO AGENDA IS
THIS OR HAVE HEARINGS ON THIS
PARTICULAR TOPIC WITHIN THE
LOCAL JURISDICTION [inaudible]
WELL THEY WHILE ON THIS ON THIS
BILL.
ON THIS BILL ON ON THIS PROCESS
OF OF HAVING THIS PROCESS OVER
THE EXISTING PROCESS HAS IT BEEN
VETTED AT THE LOCAL LEVEL HAVING
HEARINGS MAKING SURE THAT THE
LOCAL CONSTITUENTS ARE -- GIVEN
THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THEIR
VOICE HEARD AT THAT LEVEL WELL
WE HAVE SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE SO
FAR IS -- WE HAVE THERE WE HAVE
PASSED LAWS THAT HAVE ALLOWED
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS IN TWO TIME
SWITCH OVER TO INDEPENDENT
REDUCING COMMISSIONS AND IN FACT.
WE HAVE ALREADY.
ARE REQUIRED LOS ANGELES.
AND I THINK SAN DIEGO -- AS WELL
TO DO SO SO IN THOSE AREAS --
THAT HAVE ALREADY.
DONE INDEPENDENT THIS
COMMISSIONS OR ARE IN THE
PROCESS OF IMPLEMENTING AND THEY
HAVE THEY HAVE BEEN CUT.
PULLING TOGETHER THE PROCESS
ASSOCIATED WITH GETTING THESE
COMMISSIONS TOGETHER AND THEN --
AND THEN HAVING TO DRAW THE
LINES IN THIS WOULD END UP.
THEN NOW DICTATING TO THE
COUNTIES -- THE TO BE ABLE TO
MOVE FORWARD IN THIS COMMISSION
SAID SO THE WAY IT'S STRUCTURED
IS -- RIGHT NOW THE WAY IT'S
WRITTEN I THINK COUNTIES OVER --
SEVEN FIFTY THOUSAND AND THEN
COUNTIES BETWEEN TWO FIFTY AND
SEVENTY THOUSAND SUBJECT TO
APPROPRIATION.
AND IS ONE THING WE HAVE TO
MENTION AND WE'VE TAKEN SOME
AMENDS TO MAKE -- THIS PROCESS
SIGNIFICAN LESS EXPENSIVE THAT
HAVE BEEN INITIALLY ANTICIPATED.
I THINK MOST OF THE INITIAL
REACTION FROM THE COUNTIES WAS
THEY WORRY ABOUT EXPENSE -- BUT
NOW THAT WE HAVE THE GRAND JURY
CONTRIVING THE THE THE THE
SELECTION PROCESS.
FOR BUSY ADMINISTERING THE
SELECTION PROCESS FOR THE
COMMISSIONERS IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY
LESS EXPENSIVE BECAUSE YOU DON'T
HAVE TO CONVENE A BRAND NEW BODY
TO DO THAT.
AND SO WHERE WHERE WE'RE BECAUSE
THERE WERE CONCERNS IN YOUR
COUNTERPART COMMITTEE OVER ON
THE SENATE SIDE THAT THAT --
THIS MAY BE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR
SMALLER COUNTIES WE'VE FOCUSED
ON THE LARGER COUNTIES --
WHETHER BE LESS OF AN IMPACT
BECAUSE THEY HAVE MUCH BIGGER
BUDGETS AND THE TOTAL COST.
EYES WITH AN ESTIMATE TO BE A
LITTLE LESS TO A THOUSAND WITH
THAT THANK YOU FOR THAT SENATOR
AND THE CONCERN.
THAT I HAVE IT AS FAR AS BEING
ABLE TO HAVE THE PROCESS AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL WITH THE COUNTIES
BEING ABLE TO AGENDA IS IT HAVE
A HEARING.
HERE FROM THE LOCAL CONSTITUENTS
ON SOMETHING MOVING FORWARD IN
THIS AREA I DON'T AGREE WITH
WITH.
I'D I DON'T DISAGREE WITH THE
WHERE THE BILL IS HEADED I JUST
THINK THAT THERE HAS TO BE MORE.
INPUT FROM THE LOCAL LEVEL MOM
WITH THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
HAVING HEARINGS AGENDAS UNIT
MAKING SURE THAT'S OPEN TO THE
PUBLIC AND HAVING THAT MOVE AND
BY THE WAY THAT IS ACTUALLY
BUILT INTO THIS PROCESS SO SO.
FOR THIS TO BE IMPLEMENTED THEY
HAVE TO HAVE FIVE HEARINGS OVER
THE PUBLIC THERE'S A IS A VERY
OPEN PROCESS ASSOCIATED WITH
BOTH THE SELECTION.
AND THEN THE AND AND AND AND
THEN COME MONITORING THEM THE
MAP TRYING PROCESS THAT GOES
FORWARD SO THERE'S A VERY REAL
BLAST.
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT ASPECT TO THIS
BILL BUT CERTAINLY HAPPY TALK TO
YOU ABOUT.
BY STRENGTHENING IT IF THAT'S OF
INTEREST TO YOU. SEVEN LOOK
FORWARD TO FOR THE DIALOGUE OKAY.
THANK YOU.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF
THE COMMITTEE.
OKAY SEEING NONE WE HAVE A
MOTION AND SECOND TO WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE.
NO JUST VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE
THE HARD WORK OF THE COMMITTEE
AS THEY SAY -- THIS IS NOT GOING
TO BE I'M.
YEAH WE REALLY MADE SURE THAT
THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAVE A
MAJOR FISCAL IMPACT ON THE ON
THE COUNTIES AND WE'RE VERY VERY
COMMITTED.
TO A FAIR ROBUST PUBLIC
ENGAGEMENT BUT THIS IS
ULTIMATELY ABOUT MAKING SURE THE
LINES ARE DRAWN IN A FAIR WAY --
AND HAVING AN INDEPENDENT GROUP
DO THAT WE DO THAT VERY
SUCCESSFULLY WITH THE
LEGISLATIVE LINES I CAN
RATIONALIZE FORTY CAUSATION
LINES TOWARDS VERY WELL FOR US.
AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
HAVE FOR THE SAME FAIRNESS
PRINCIPLES TO OUR CONSTITUENTS

EIGHT SB FIVE THIRTY TWO THANK
YOU -- MADAM CHAIR I FORGOT TO
DO.
MY DUE DILIGENCE MY EXPERT
WITNESS -- DIANA MAHMOUD IS A
COUNCIL MEMBER IN THE GREAT CITY
OF SOUTH PASADENA SO I WANNA
MAKE SURE SHE GETS A SHOUT OUT --
I'M ALSO PRESENTING SB -- FIVE
THIRTY TWO MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS -- WHICH WOULD AUTHORIZE
THE CITY OF GLENDALE TO USE THE
REMAINING BOND PROCEEDS FROM
THEIR TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN
SUBORDINATE TAXABLE TAX
ALLOCATION BOND FOR THE PURPOSE
OF INCREASING.
IMPROVING AND PRESERVING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING THIS PART OF
THE TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN BUDGET
ACT APPROVAL WAS GRANTED
DISSOLVING THE STATE'S FOUR
HUNDRED PLUS REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCIES.
I VOTED AGAINST THAT DISSOLUTION
WHEN I WAS IN THE ASSEMBLY AND
PROUD TO HAVE DONE THAT.
THESE AGENTS THE SERVE AS AN
IMPORTANT COMPONENT IN
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT I
REDEVELOPMENT PROVIDED THE
LARGEST ONGOING SOURCE OF
REVENUE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
IN CALIFORNIA.
AS A LOCAL REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCIES PROVIDED ROUGHLY ONE
BILLION ANNUALLY FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING.
WHEN REDEVELOPMENT AGENCIES WERE
CLOSED -- CALIFORNIA REMOVE THIS
FINANCING BUT ALSO LAUGHED SOME
CITIES WITH -- SOME DOLLARS IN
THIS CASE GLENDALE HAD A TWO
THOUSAND ELEVEN SUPPORT IT
TAXABLE ALLOCATION BOND AND
AMOUNT OF APPROXIMATELY TWENTY
SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS.
OF NON HOUSING DOLLARS FROMTHE
CENTRAL GLENDALE WE'RE ALL OF IT
REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA THAT
IT IS PREVENTED FROM UTILIZING
BY THE STATE BECAUSE IT IS NOT
ALLOWED UNDER THE DISSOLUTION.
ACT TO BE USED FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING SO RATHER THAN DE FEES
OR CANCEL THIS BOND GLENDALE HAS
REQUESTED TO DELEGATE IT TOWARDS
1100% AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROJECTS -- IT'S MY
UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY'RE GOING
TO LEVERAGE THESE DOLLARS TO
BUILD UPWARDS OF FOUR HUNDRED
DEDICATED AFFORDABLE HOUSING
UNITS AND THAT'S A LAUDABLE GOAL
AND SO FUNDAMENTALLY WANT TO
KEEP LOCAL DOLLARS LOCAL AND

MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS NANCY CHAD
ASSISTING US ON BEHALF OF THE
COALITION FOR ADEQUATE SCHOOL
HOUSING AND THE CALIFORNIA
RETIRED TEACHERS ASSOCIATION WE
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S GOAL TO
TRY TO HELP THE CITY OF GLENDALE
PRODUCE MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING --
BUT WE'RE CONCERNED THAT THE
DIVERSION OF PROPERTY TAXES
COULD HURT EDUCATION FUNDING
OVER THE LONG TERM.
AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR I
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A
MECHANISM FOR A GENERAL FUND
BACK FILL OF THOSE PROPERTY
TAXES THAT ARE SHIFTED AWAY FROM
LOCAL EDUCATIONAL AGENCIES IN
THE SHORT TERM.
WHAT I'M REFERRING TO IS THAT
THAT MECHANISM ITSELF MAKES
EDUCATION -- MORE RELIABLE ON
THE VOLATILE GENERAL FUND OVER
THE LONGER TERM THAT RELATIVELY
STABLE PROPERTY TAXES AS AN
EXAMPLE OF THE RISK -- DURING
THE GREAT RECESSION OF THE LAST
DECADE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC SCHOOLS
LIKE FIFTY SIXTY FIVE BILLION
DOLLARS IN FUNDING DUE TO BUDGET
CUTS AND PROP NINETY EIGHT
SUSPENSION WHICH HAVE NEVER BEEN
RESTORED SO WITH CALIFORNIA
CURRENTLY FORTY FIRST IN
EDUCATION FUNDING.

SCHOOL HOUSING IN THE CALIFORNIA

HOUSING I THINK THIS IS A VERY
CREATIVE WAY TO BRING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING TO COMMUNITIES -- I
APPRECIATE THE OPPOSITION'S
COMMENT BUT HOWEVER IF WE DON'T
HAVE HOUSING.
THAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE
DIFFICULT TO HELP US WITH THE
TEACHERS AND MOVING COMMUNITIES
FORWARD WITH EDUCATION SO.

SO WHAT THIS BILL DOES IS IT
ASSISTS THE CITY OF OAKLAND.
BECAUSE THE EXISTING
INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE LAWS ARE
NOT SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW THEM TO
DO THE INFRASTRUCTURE AROUND A
PROPOSED PRIVATELY FINANCED
STADIUM.
SO WHAT THIS BILL DOES IS MAKE
THE INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING
DISTRICT MORE FEASIBLE FOR THE
CITY OF OAKLAND TO USE AND I
COULD GIVE YOU ALL THESE REASONS
WHY IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR THEM
BUT I HAVE THESE WONDERFUL.
WITNESSES SO ALL LET THEM TALK I

GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS MY STATE WITH PACIFIC
WORKING SHIPPING ASSOCIATION WE
REPRESENT OCEAN KERR'S MARINE
TERMINAL OPERATORS DOING
BUSINESS IN THE PORT OF OAKLAND
THANK YOU FOR PLANTS TO COMMENT
TODAY.
WERE OPPOSED TO THE BILL -- IT'S
IT'S NOT NECESSARY BUT MORE
IMPORTANTLY THAN THAT IT ALSO
DOES NOT PROVIDE THE SAME TYPE
OF PROTECTIONS THAT EXIST IN
CURRENT LAW WITH RESPECT THE F.
T. I. F. THESE FOUR SEAPORT
DEVELOPMENT -- WE FIND THAT TO
BE A A REAL DEFICIENCY OF THE
BILL BUT MAKES A WATERFRONT SO
DESIRABLE TO THE A IS IS THE
SAME THING THAT MAKES IT
IMPORTANT FOR THE STATE TO
PROTECT.
WHICH IS A ONCE WATER FROM
PROPERTY IS GONE IT'S GONE
FOREVER WE CANNOT USE IT AS A
PRODUCTIVE PART OF OUR WORKING
WATERFRONT -- YOU'LL HEAR FROM
OF THE STANDOFF MILE W. OF THAT
SOME OF THE VERY SPECIFIC ISSUES
THAT WE HAVE WITH RESPECT TO THE
ELIMINATION OF OUR WORKING
WATERFRONT OPPORTUNITIES TO GROW
THAT CARGO -- WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT AS THE STATE MOVES FORWARD
WITH AYE IF THESE -- THEY DO IN
A WAY WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH
SB -- SIXTY THREE BY SENATOR
HOLLINGS WAS PASSED SEVERAL
YEARS AGO.
THAT REQUIRES THE STATE LANDS
COMMISSION AND THE SEAPORT TO
WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE.
THAT PROVISIONS MOVING FORWARD
IN AN I FD PROCESS ARE
CONSISTENT WITH THE STATE
DEPARTMENT'S TRUST.
THIS AVOIDS THAT PROCESS
UNNECESSARILY.
IT WAS THE CITY COUNCIL IN
CONTROL OF STATE PROPERTY --
WHICH IS IMPROPER AND
INCONSISTENT WITH THE TRUST --
AND SO IT DOESN'T MEAN FAN THOSE
PROTECTIONS IN CURRENT LAW.
MORE OPPOSED TO THAT TO
APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR OPPORTUNITY
GIVING US OFTEN THE COMMON ON
THOSE THINGS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS GOOD
AFTERNOON DAVID WILL FOR THE
HOWARD JARVIS TAXPAYERS
ASSOCIATION OPPOSED SB TWO
NINETY THREE FOR OF HAND FOR
DIFFERENT REASONS.
OTHER THAN THE OTHER OPPOSITION
WITNESSES WHO ARE HERE WITH ME
TODAY JUST REALLY BRIEFLY
MEMBERS WE ALWAYS BELIEVE THAT
INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCE DISTRICTS --
IT SHOULD REQUIRE A TWO THIRDS
VOTE BEFORE BONDS CAN BE ISSUED --
I HAVE TIAS HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR
OVER THIRTY YEARS IN STATUTE AND
THEY'VE ALWAYS REQUIRED A TWO
THIRDS VOTE AND WE BELIEVE THAT
SHOULD REMAINING IN PLACE -- FOR
THE SIMPLE REASON THAT LONG TERM
DEBT THAT'S GOING TO BE ON
PROPERTY TAX ROLLS FOR DECADES --
INCLUDING TAX INCREMENT SHOULD
REQUIRE A HIGHER VOTER THRESHOLD
AND THAT'S ALSO BECAUSE I IF
HE'S ARE TRADITIONALLY NOT
BACKED BY THE FULL FAITH AND
CREDIT OF A LOCAL GENERAL FUND.
THAT'S INCREASING RISK FOR BOTH
BOND HOLDERS AND TAXPAYERS AGAIN
ALL THE MORE REASON WHY YOU'D
WANT -- BROADER LOCAL SUPPORT
AND BY OFF -- BEFORE ISSUING
THESE BONDS SO FOR THOSE REASONS
ASPIRIN OVER [inaudible]
THANK YOU -- GOOD AFTERNOON
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE.
MY NAME IS LISA AND ALL AND I AM
THE LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATE. FOR
THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA DISTRICT
COUNCIL OF THE INTERNATIONAL
LONGSHORE WAREHOUSE UNION.
WHICH REPRESENTS SOME OF THE
MOST SKILLED AND HIGHLY
SPECIALIZED BLUE COLLAR LABOR IN
NORTH AMERICA.
WE ARE OPPOSED TO SB TWO NINETY
THREE BECAUSE IT WILL COST
OAKLAND TAXPAYERS HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
ON UNNECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE IN
SUPPORT OF A LUXURY DEVELOPMENT
THAT WILL DESTROY GOOD PAYING
BLUE COLLAR JOBS THAT THE
OAKLAND RESIDENTS DEPEND ON THE
KANYE'S BASEBALL ORGANIZATION IS
QUICK TO STATE.
YES BALLPARK IN LUXURY HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT.
PROPOSAL WILL BE PRIVATELY
FINANCED BUT SB TWO NINETY THREE
MAKES IT CLEAR THIS IS SIMPLY
NOT THE CASE.
THERE DEVELOPMENT WILL REQUIRE
OAKLAND TAXPAYERS TO KICK IN
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF TAX
DOLLARS TO BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE.
CLEAN UP A WORKING INDUSTRIAL
SITE.
IN AN INACCESSIBLE AND
COMPLETELY IMPRACTICAL AREA OF
OAKLAND.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD
FOR IT IN THEIR SUPPORT LETTER
THE H. HAVE STATED THE PROJECT
CANNOT BE BUILT.
WITHOUT TAX INCREMENTS. TO SAY
THIS PROJECT IS PRIVATELY
FINANCED IGNORES THE VERY REAL
AND SIGNIFICANT COST TO OAKLAND.
OAKLAND NEEDS TAX DOLLARS GOING
TO FUND EDUCATION FIX CRUMBLING
ROADS IN SUPPORT EXISTING
INFRASTRUCTURE.
NOT HELPING BILLIONAIRES MAKE
MORE MONEY FROM LUXURY HOUSING.
MOST IMPORTANTLY THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A LUXURY
DEVELOPMENT AND BALLPARK IN THE
MIDDLE OF OUR WORKING PORT.
WILL DISRUPT THE THRIVING
MARITIME INDUSTRY THAT ARE
WORKING WATERFRONT AND
JEOPARDIZE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
SEAPORT RELATED JOBS.
THE ACE PROPOSAL WOULD TAKE AWAY
CRITICAL SPACE BEING USED FOR
PORT OPERATIONS AND CREATE
SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC DELAYS.
THAT WILL HINDER.
THE CONTINUED FUNCTIONALITY OF
THE PORT.
SEAPORT ACTIVITY AT THE PORT
SUPPORTS MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION IN DIRECT WAGES AND
SALARY FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
JOBS.
THAT SUPPORT THE LIVELIHOOD OF
MANY BAY AREA RESIDENTS.
ADDITIONALLY THE MARITIME
INDUSTRY IS EXPECTED ITSELF TO
CONTRIBUTE A HUNDRED AND FIFTY
NINE MILLION TO THE PORTS
OPERATING REVENUE.
THOSE THAT WORK AT THE PORT
EVERY DAY HAVE SAID LOUD AND
CLEAR THAT THIS PROJECT PUTS NOT
JUST THEIR JOBS IN JEOPARDY BUT
THE VIABILITY OF THE MOST
SUCCESSFUL PORT.
IN ON ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL
PORTS ON THE WEST COAST
[inaudible]
AGAIN.
THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT DEAL PURE
AND SIMPLE IT INVOLVES A
VALUABLE REAL ESTATE AND LUXURY
CONDOS.
WHICH HAVE NOTHING TO DO.
WITH THE KIND OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING THAT OAKLAND H..
WE RESPECT SICKLY URGE THE
COMMITTEE TO TAKE OUR CONCERNS
INTO CONSIDERATION AND VOTE NO
ON THIS BILL THANK YOU.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ARE
THERE ANY OTHER -- WITNESSES TO
OPPOSE THANK YOU YES MY NAME IS
NOT A MAKE A THE PRESIDENT OF
I'LL W. BUT WE CAN.
ALSO THE PRESIDENT OF THE SDDC
NOR THE COVERAGES ARE COUNCIL
AND I OPPOSE THIS BILL.
REASON ONE WE DON'T GET IN WILL
WATERFRONT LAND OKAY FOR LAST
THREE YEARS.
WE WILL MORE CARGO IN THE
HISTORY ABOUT IT BI.
OKAY WE'RE TRYING TO GROW.
THIS WILL ACTUALLY REDUCE LABOR.
WHEN YOU BUILD HOUSES AND
INDUSTRIAL LAND?
THEY WILL CRY LIKE HILL.
WE'RE MAKING TOO MUCH NOISE WE
WORK THREE HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE
DAYS A YEAR TO GET THIS CARGO IN
AND OUT OF OAKLAND.
AND WE'RE DOING A GREAT JOB
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WELCOME GOOD AFTERNOON.
I'M AARON RIGHT I'LL W. LOCAL
TEN BUSINESS STAGING
REPRESENTING. THOUSAND WORKERS
LONG SO WORKERS BUT ALSO HERE
SPEAKING FOR THE TRUCKERS THE
RAILROADS.
AND GREATER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
ECONOMY LIKE AGRICULTURE THE
MANUFACTURING AND RETAIL BECAUSE
OAKLAND CALIFORNIA IS THE THIRD
LARGEST PORT IN THE WEST COAST.
AND WE NEED TO KEEP IT THAT WAY
HOWARD TERMINAL.
IS A KEY LOCATION THEY WANT TO
PUT OF STADIUM SMACK DAB WHERE
RAY RHODES RUN THROUGH WELL WE
HAVE A TURNING BASIN FOR SHIPS.
AND THE TRUCKERS HAVE TO DRIVE
THROUGH THERE.
YOU BUILD OF STADIUM RIGHT HERE
IT'S GOING TO CHOKE OFF THE PORT.
MINIMIZE OUR COMPETITIVENESS AND
SHIPPERS WILL LEAVE WHEN THE
SHIPPERS LEAVE.
AND THIS WHOLE IDEA.
SENDS A MESSAGE TO THE ENTIRE
WORLD.
DO YOU WANT. TO SHIP TO THE
UNITED STATES THROUGH CALIFORNIA
OAKLAND CALIFORNIA.
OR DO I NEED TO SEND MY CARGO
ELSEWHERE SEATTLE ALONG LOS
ANGELES AGAIN RESPECTIVELY THANK
YOU.
AND FOR THE TIME AND PLEASE VOTE
NO.
THANK YOU.
MARIN PM WE HAVE A NATIONAL LONG
TERM WHERE HOUSE UNION -- AND
OPPOSITION FOR THE REASONS
STATED THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
OKAY -- ANY QUESTIONS OF THE
COMMITTEE [inaudible]
YES.
YES -- THANK YOU FOR THIS
ACTUALLY WHEN I WAS -- DURING MY
GRADUATE WORK IN POLITICAL
SCIENCE AT A WHOLE PUBLIC POLICY
COURSE ON STADIUMS AND THE
IMPACT -- IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS
AND I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE
RELEVANT UNTIL TODAY -- I DO
HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT WHY YOU'RE
SEEKING TO AVOID THE TWO THIRDS
VOTER APPROVAL WITH AN I FD
GENERALLY IT ALWAYS HAS HAD.
THE TWO THIRDS VOTER APPROVAL I
KNOW NOT MANY PEOPLE MAKE THAT
THRESHOLD COULD YOU EXPLAIN A
LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL.
I AM CERTAINLY THIS IS -- IT
REMOVES THE TWO THIRDS VOTER
APPROVAL BUT IT DOES INCLUDE
MULTIPLE PUBLIC HEARINGS IN A
PROTEST PROCESS -- CONSISTENT
WITH THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL IN
WITH PREVIOUS BILLS THAT HAVE --
PASSED THE PROTEST LANGUAGE ONLY
REQUIRES A 25% TO FILE AND THEN
IT DOES GO TO THE BALLOT -- THIS.
THIS WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST.
I'M THE I FD TO HAVE REMOVED
THAT TWO THIRDS -- BUT IT SB
NINE SIXTY ONE SENATOR ALLEN'S
BILL LAST YEAR THAT WAS CHAPTER
IT IS NOW IN EFFECT DID THAT --
BUT IT'S MOSTLY TO BE BROAD
PLANT IS THERE.
ARE VERY FEW RESIDENTS NOW.
BUDGET USUALLY THE I HAVE TO USE
THE RESIDENTS AROUND IN THE
SURROUNDING AREA.
AND WHILE THERE ARE SOME
RESIDENTS IN FACT ONE OF OUR
SPEAKERS HERE IS IN THAT SIR IT
IS THERE'S VERY LITTLE HOUSING
THERE NOW SO THERE'S VERY FEW
RESIDENTS AT THE MOMENT.
THANK YOU ARE THERE ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS OF THE COMMITTEE.
YES SO REMEMBER VOEPEL.
IN.
THIS QUESTION MAY BE A BETTER
DIRECTED AT THE PRESIDENT OF THE
EIGHTIES.
WHY BUILD A NEW STADIUM IN A
DIFFERENT LOCATION WHY NOT JUST
REDO YOUR STADIUM?
WHERE IT'S AT?
WELL IF YOU LOOK ACROSS -- NORTH
AMERICA THE MOST SUCCESSFUL
MAJOR LEAGUE STADIUMS ESPECIALLY
THE ONES THAT BEEN PRIVATELY
FINANCED OR BUILT IN DOWNTOWN
URBAN LOCATIONS.
AND THIS IS DOWNTOWN LOCATION IN
THE DOWNTOWN URBAN CORE OF
OAKLAND AS OPPOSED TO OUR
CURRENT SITE WHICH IS SIX MILES
SOUTH IN MORE OF A QUIET SIGH
INDUSTRIAL SUBURBAN LOCATION AND
SO.
A LOCATION WHERE YOU CAN WALK
BIKE AND ACTUALLY GET TO AND
FROM THE LOCATION -- THAT WAY IS
ACTUALLY LEAD TO MORE SUCCESS
AND SO THAT'S ONE OF THE KEY
REASONS AND IT BRINGS WITH IT
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS. TO THE
SURROUNDING AREA AND THE
DOWNTOWN CORE WHICH IS IMPORTANT
FOR THE CITY.
SO THE THINKING HE REASONS.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OF
THE COMMITTEE.
WE HAVE A MOTION.
THE MOTION STILL -- WE HAVE A
MOTION FROM ASSEMBLYMEMBER RIVAS.
AND A SECOND FROM ASSEMBLY
MEMBER LACKEY.
OKAY -- REJECT CLOSE.

THIS BILL AND OF THE STADIUM --
I APPRECIATE THE CONCERNS BY OUR
UNION MEMBERS THAT SPOKE.

BECAUSE OF THEIR CONCERNS THAT
MAY IMPACT PORT OF OPERATIONS --
WHILE I CANNOT TELL YOU WITH ALL
1100% CERTAINTY THAT IT WOULD
NOT HAVE ANY IMPACTS IMPORT
