THE PANEL. SO TODAY WE WILL
HEAR IN MORE DETAIL ABOUT THE
GOVERNOR'S REVISED BUDGET WHICH
INCLUDES DIFFICULT CUTS AT
LOWER LEVELS OF FUNDING TO
PROGRAMS THAT THIS SUBCOMMITTEE
CARES DEEPLY ABOUT. AS OF THE
CORONAVIRUS SHUT DOWN AROUND
THE WORLD WITH- IT'S
INTERESTING THAT WE'VE SEEN
LEVELS OF POLLUTION AND CO TM
CO TWO EMISSIONS DROP
EVERYWHERE AND THE RESULTING.
TAX ARE OBVIOUS BLUE SKIES AND
CLEANER AIR. GOALS THAT WE HAVE
BEEN TRYING TO ACHIEVE WITH OUR
CLIMATE RELATED ACTIONS WELL
THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF
SHUTTING THE WORLD DOWN-
TERRIBLE BEFORE US THANK LIES
AN OPPORTUNE EIGHTY TO FIND THE
DEMAND FOR JOBS AND GROWTH. OF
WHICH SURE IT UP ALONG WITH.
COVERAGE. TODAY'S HEARING IS
FINAL FUNDAMENTALLY ABOUT
HEARING FROM THE PUBLIC SINCE
THIS MAY BE OUR ONLY
OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT
ON THESE ISSUES THIS IS
DEFINITELY NOT AN IDEAL
SITUATION AND SO I WOULD WANT
TO ENCOURAGE YOU ALL. A
CONTINUE TO EXPRESS YOURSELVES
OUTSIDE OF THE HEARING PROCESS
BY SENDING EMAILS AND
CONTACTING US AND- OTHER WAYS-
THE THAT YOU MAY HAVE TO VOICE
YOUR CONCERNS AND YOUR OPINIONS.
NOW I'VE HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS
AND CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT IS
BEING PROPOSED FOR RESOURCES IN
THE MAY REVISION AND I'M SURE
OTHERS TO TWO. OF I UNDERSTAND
TOUGH SIX RP DID I THINK WE ALL.
AND WE ALL HAVE TO DO. PLUS BUT
THERE ARE MANY INCONSISTENCIES
THAT I FIND CONCERNING FOR
EXAMPLE THERE ARE PROPOSED
ONGOING BASELINE REDUCTIONS
ALONG PROGRAM ALONGSIDE PROGRAM
EXPANSIONS. I'M ALSO CONCERNED
WITH THE ROLLBACK OF THE
HABITAT CONSERVATION FUND WHICH
AIR MARKS THIRTY MILLION
DOLLARS ANNUALLY FOR A VARIETY
OF CONSERVATION EFFORTS. THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSAL WOULD
SHIFT EIGHTEEN POINT NINE
MILLION DOLLARS ON AN ONGOING
BASIS FROM THE WILD CONSERVE IT
WILDLIFE CONSERVATION BOARD. TO
THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND
WILDLIFE. AND WHILE I-
CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT- DFW
NEEDS ADDITIONAL FUNDING TAKING
FROM ANOTHER SISTER AGENCY
CONDUCTING COMPLIMENTARY WORK
IS IN MY OPINION NOT THE RIGHT
APPROACH AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF
THE EXT OF THE HABITAT
CONSERVATION. WHAT'S THE
NEGOTIATED BUDGET DEAL FROM
ONLY A YEAR AGO. THIS PROPOSAL
WOULD BASICALLY UNDO THAT DEAL
AND THE AT IT JUST SEEMS SO ODD
TO ME THAT IT THIS IS NOT THE
WAY WE SHOULD BE OPERATING-
BETWEEN THE ADMINISTRATION AND
THE LEGISLATURE IF WE CUT A
DEAL. AT A MINIMUM IF THE
ADMINISTRATION FEELS THAT THERE
NEEDS TO BE A CHANGE TO A DEAL
THAT WAS JUST CUT LAST YEAR. I
WOULD THINK THAT THE BETTER
APPROACH WOULD BE TO COME TO
THE LEGISLATURE- THROUGH THE
BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE. AND
DISCUSS THAT AND SEE IF THERE
ISN'T. A BETTER WAY- OTHERWISE
WHY ARE WE MAKING DEALS. SO I
AM ALSO VERY FRUSTRATED WITH-
MANY TRANSFERS- TO OFFSET THE
USE OF THE GENERAL FUND. MOST
NOTABLY- THERE'S A TRANSFER OF
NINETY MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE
AIR POLLUTION CONTROL FUND. I'M
CONCERNED THAT THESE FUNCHESS
WILL HAVE AN OVERALL REGRESSIVE
IMPACT ON ALL OF OUR
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES AND
EFFORTS. HOWEVER TO ENSURE
ADEQUATE TIME FOR PUBLIC
COMMENT- I'M NOT CONNECT- ASK
THE QUESTIONS AT ALL WITH HOLD
ANY OTHER COMMENTS AND DISCUSS-
WITH THE ADMINISTRATION
DEPARTMENTS OFFLINE. ON THE
WHOLE I THINK GIVEN THE
CIRCUMSTANCES THE- THE-
DEPARTMENTS HAVE PRESENTED US
WITH- THERE- BEST CASE
SCENARIO- AND HAVE DONE A
REASONABLY GOOD JOB IN DOING
SO- GIVEN A VERY VERY SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME AND THE- REALLY
CALAMITOUS DROP IN REVENUES WE
ARE- DEEP. WITHIN THE STATE.
I'M HOPE THAT TODAY'S SPEAKERS
WILL BE CONSCIOUS OF OUR GOAL
TO MAXIMIZE TIME FOR PUBLIC
COMMENT AND KEEP INTRODUCTORY
REMARKS AND QUESTIONS TO A-
THAT TO A MINIMUM BUT TO A
REASONABLE- LENGTH SO THAT- WE
ARE ABLE TO TIME WE GET TO
PUBLIC COMMENT. AGAIN WE WILL
BEGIN PUBLIC COMMENT NO LATER
THAN ELEVEN THIRTY AM AS WE
HAVE A HARD STOP FOR THIS
HEARING AT ONE PM AND LET ME
REEMPHASIZE. THAT DATA POINT OF
WE WILL NOT HAVE THIS FROM AS
OF PM AND SO WE HAVE TO FINISH
OUR BUSINESS- UNFORTUNATELY. IN
THE OF THREE HOURS THAT HAVE
BEEN ALLOCATED TO US- WITH THAT
SAID TO. DALY OF MY LOOK LIKE
TO MAKE OPENING REMARKS. AND
YET WE DO HAVE- ENOUGH PEOPLE
HERE TO TAKE ALSO THANK YOU
WELL TAKE ROLE AND BECOME A
FORMAL. FORMALIZE BODY. BLOOM
HERE FONG HERE GARCIA MULLIN.
PATTERSON RAY YES RIVAS. AT
THE- MS GARCIA HAS SAID.
EXTENSIVE DESIRE TO MAKE A
BRIEF COMMENT AT THANK YOU AND
I WILL BE BRIEF AND ALSO-
REALLY MY QUESTION THAT AFFECT
OTHER CHANNELS FOR THAT PUBLIC
CAN PARTICIPATE BUT I DID WANT
TO POINT OUT A COUPLE OF THINGS
MYSELF AND THE PROPOSAL I
UNDERSTAND WE HAVE. TOUGH
CHOICES TO MAKE AND I JUST HOPE
AS WE'RE MAKING THESE. THINK
ABOUT A MORE THAN EQUAL SOME
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT 10% ACROSS
THE BOARD BUT I THINK WE NEED
TO BE THINKING ABOUT EQUITY.
ALONG THAT WAY AND WHAT THAT
MIGHT MEAN TO SOME OF OUR MORE
AFFORDABLE COMMUNITIES- AND SO
WITH THAT WHEN I THINK ABOUT
THAT THIRTY PIECES AND- THAT
MAY REALIZE THAT I. WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT ONE- IS- POLLUTION
CONTROL FINE AND THE MONEY
THAT'S BEING PULLED OUT THERE-
IT IS WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
THINK ABOUT THE IMPLICATIONS SO
WHAT THAT MEANS OUR CLEAN AIR.
OF WORK THAT WE STILL NEED TO
DO IN A LOT OF THESE
COMMUNITIES WELL WE POPULOUS
GUY THINK COMMUNITIES LIKE MINE
I. HAVEN'T SEEN IN. MANY MANY
YEARS WE KNOW THAT THIS IS A
TEMPORARY THING AND WHATNOT
THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO BE
DONE COMMUNITIES WHERE. ARE OUR
QUALITY HOT HAS BEEN. SOME OF
THE WORST MISTAKE OUT FOR MANY
MANY YEARS AND SO JUST WANT TO
MAKE SURE WE'RE MAKING. WHAT
WE'RE THINKING THAT THROUGH.
ANA ALONG THE WAY THE MONIES
ARE IN YOU JUST HAVE. TO FIND.
SOME STRUCTURAL DEFICITS WITH
THE DEPARTMENT AT T. AND T.
WHICH- THIS LAPTOP THE CLEAN UP
OUR- REMOTE. THE ASIAN OVER
THAT ALL. IT DISTRICTS AWHILE.
THE NURSE. ALLOWED TO LET OUR-
I. FIVE AND A CONTAMINANTS IN
MY WATER AND- HAVING A-
CONTINUE TO PLACE AN- THERE.
I'M INCLUDE EXCITED AS WE AT
HOW USE THOSE. FOR THE HOME. AT
OUR- MEETING. AND WERE BORN
MONEY SITE WE- THAT. EXCESSIVE
BACK. ON ALTHOUGH THE TO FIGHT
CHAPTER ELEVEN. OUR EARLIER
THIS WEEK AND SO NOT SURE IF
THAT HAPPENS WHAT DOES AS WE'RE
DOING THIS MOVEMENT IN THIS.
LOCAL TIME AND I JUST WANNA
MAKE SURE WE'RE THINKING LONG
TERM. AS WE'RE DEALING WITH THE
SHORT TERM PROBLEM- ALONG THE
WAY AND THEN FINALLY ABOUT AB
SIX SEVENTEEN. HAS BEEN A
PROGRAM THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR
A COUPLE YEARS THAT IDENTIFIES
HOT SPOTS AROUND THE STATE. AND
WORK HAS BEEN A- GROUPS UP MORE
ADDING THREE ADDITIONAL
COMMUNITIES THIS YEAR. BUT WE
ARE CUTTING THAT KIND OF BIT.
ALONG THE WAY AND SO AS WE LOOK
AT HOW THAT AFFECTS.
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES WE
DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH LUCIA.
LIKE IT ARE TEMPLE. IN DEAL
SELECTING BUT IT EXCEPT MARK.
IS EVEN MORE AND- AS A
STRUGGLING FROM TO SEE A- THE-
ONE WAY ADDING THE- CAN. THERE
AND SO. THE THAT. I'M TO. FORM
FOR. FIFTEEN FIVE EXTRA WAY.
THANK YOU CHAIR BLOOM AND THE
SPEAKER STAFF- FOR SETTING UP
THIS HEARING. OF YOU KNOW. OF I
AM VERY CONCERNED OF HOW. ARE
BUDGET AND THE CUTS THAT WE ARE
PROPOSING WILL AFFECT
DISADVANTAGED. COMMUNITIES IN
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES. THAT
RIGHT NOW ARE ALSO THE MOST
AFFECTED. BY THE COVERT CRISIS
AND- CONSIDERING THAT- OUR
STATE IS EXPECTED TO HAVE AN
EXCESSIVELY HOT SUMMER- I HAVE
CONCERNS. ABOUT INCREASE STATS
BECAUSE PEOPLE- FINANCIALLY
CAN'T AFFORD. TO TURN ON THEIR
AIR CONDITIONERS- AND- THEY
BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE
MONEY THEY ARE BEING AFFECTED
BY THE PRICE. AND I THINK. STAY
HOME SO I THINK SOME. WE COULD
BE MAKING FOR DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES ARE. TO CONNECT
THEM TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY
PROGRAMS THAT THE STATE ALREADY
HAS- AND SO. I JUST WANNA I
LOOK FORWARD TO THIS HEARING
AND- AND TO SEE WHAT WE CAN ALL
DO TOGETHER- FOR LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES THANK YOU. THANK
YOU MISTER PATTERSON. THANK YOU
MISTER THANK FOR A- THAT TO ME
JUST TO HELP MAKE ONE QUICK
COMMENT- I AM PARTICULARLY
CONCERNED ABOUT THE D. T. T. A
STRUCTURE SHORTFALL- THERE'S
SOME I THINK RATHER- LARGE
EXPENSIVE- FEE INCREASES
COMING- WE ARE SEEING A LARGE
NUMBER PERMITTED FACILITIES.
DECLINING PASSED THE GOING OVER
THE LAST TEN YEARS BECAUSE OF
INCREASED REGULATORY AND COST
BURDENS. AND I'M NOT REALLY
CONVINCED THAT THIS IS GONNA
CHANGE OR REVERSE THAT COPIED.
HAVING SAID THAT I HOPING
SOMEWHERE IN THE PRESENTATION
AND. THE TWENTY TWO A- THIS
CALL WITH PROPOSED A JETS
MISSED IN THE SNOW FEES WE ARE
SO. WHAT KIND OF PERFORMANCE
BASED METRICS ARE GOING TO BE
INCLUDED IN THIS AND OTHER
WORDS WERE ASKING LOTS OF
AND HE'S REGULATORY COSTS. HOW
DOES THE DEPARTMENT HOLD ITSELF
ACCOUNTABLE AND BE TRANSPARENT
WITH RESPECT TO THE USE OF
THOSE FUNDS AND THE LIKELIHOOD
THAT THE PROCESS WILL BE MUCH
IMPROVED SO THAT WE ACTUALLY
SEE. PERMITS IT'S TIME APPROVE
FOR THE PURPOSES OF HANDLING
THESE HAZARDOUS- MATERIALS I
HOPE THAT THAT WILL BE
ADDRESSED SOMETIME IN THE
PRESENTATION IF NOT I'D LIKE TO
FOLLOW. SURE NO PROBLEM. ALL
RIGHT WELL WE WILL BEGIN WITH
OUR TOP PANEL DISCUSSION NOW WE
HAVE- AS INTENTIONALLY ONE
PANEL AND WE WILL BEGIN- BY
HEARING FROM BRIAN BROWN DEPUTY
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S. GOOD
MORNING CAN YOU HEAR ME. YES
ALL RIGHT GOOD MORNING. AND WE
CAN SEE CHAIRED MEMBERS BRIAN
BROWN WITH THE LA- I A- DO YOU
HAVE THE INTENTIONHAND OUT
WHICH I HAVE PROVIDED TO THE
COMMITTEE CONSULTANTS AND
HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE A COPY- I
WILL ALSO UPDATE THEIR HAND OUT
IS AVAILABLE ON THE LA-
WEBSITE. AS WELL AS ASSEMBLY
BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE WEBSITE FOR
THE PUBLIC- IN THE INTEREST OF
TIME I WILL TRY TO MOVE THROUGH
THIS FAIRLY QUICKLY- HOWEVER IF
THE COMMITTEE DOES HAVE
QUESTION I AM AVAILABLE AT THE
END. OF THE- IF YOU TURN TO
OKAY. THIS IS A HIGH LOW
OVERVIEW OF THE MAY REVIEW FOR
TO REACHED AGE. RELATIVE TO THE
JANUARY BUDGET PROVIDES FOR THE
THIRTY THOUSAND FOOT OVERVIEW
AND I THINK THAT YOU KEY TAKE
AWAYS FOR THE COMMITTEE THE
FIRST IS THAT IF YOU LOOK AT
YOUR LOCATION SPENDING IT IS
DOWN OVER TWO MILLION DOLLARS
IN THE MAY REVISION RELATIVE TO
JANUARY. THIS IS LARGER THAN BY
A REDUCTION IN PROJECTED. IN
PROJECTED- TRANSPORTATION
REVENUES FROM DIESEL SALES TAX
AND- EXCISE GASOLINE TAXES THIS
PRIMARILY AFFECTS TO PROGRAMS
THAT OUR FORMULA FUNDED FOR
LOCAL AGENCIES. THAT IS THE
STATE TRANSIT ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM AND THE LOCAL STREETS
AND ROADS PROGRAM. THE SECOND
MAJOR TAKE AWAY FROM THIS PAGE
IS THAT IF YOU LOOK ACROSS THE
OTHER AGENCIES THE LEVEL OF
SPENDING IS NOT DRAMATICALLY
DIFFERENT ON NET FROM THE
JANUARY BUDGET HOWEVER
UNDERLYING ALL OF THAT IS A
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF
ADJUSTMENTS BOTH MOSTLY
DOWNWARD BUT ALSO SOME UPWARD
AS WELL THAT THAT EACH OTHER
OUT INTO THOSE ARE WHAT ALL
TALK ABOUT. THE NEXT FEW. IT
TURNED AND- EACH ITS TITLE
GONNA FUND. EXPENDITURE A- THIS
IS A LISTING OF ALL OF THE
EXPENDITURE REDUCTION PROPOSED
IN THE MAY REVISED RELATIVE TO
THE JANUARY BUDGET. I WON'T GO
THROUGH ALL OF THEM OF COURSE
BUT IF YOU DO LOOK THROUGH THE
LIST I THINK WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS
THAT THE MAIN THEME IS THAT
MOST OF THE REDUCTION WITH SOME
EXCEPTIONS. ARE NOT ONES THAT
ARE CUTS TO BASELINE FUNDING
FOR RESOURCES AND
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS INSTEAD
MOST OF THEM ARE- SOME
COMBINATION OF WITHDRAWAL-
PROPOSAL MADE IN JANUARY. FINE
SHIPS- FOR EXAMPLE REFERENCE
EARLIER THE USE OF A PC ACT TO
BACK FILL A GENERAL FUND
SPENDING PROPOSED IN JANUARY.
OR THE REVERSION OF PRIOR YEAR
EXPENDITURES APPROVED SO VERY
PARTICULAR FOR CAPITAL OUTLAY
PROJECTS THAT WOULD NOW BE
EITHER PAUSED OR- OR STOPPED-
ON ON AN ONGOING BASIS. NOT
JUST TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF
EXCEPTIONS TO THOSE- THAT THAT
SORT OF GENERAL THEME. THE
FIRST IS WITH RESPECT TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE
IS THE FIFTH ITEM DOWN ON. THE
LIST- TRIGGER CUTS TO
BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION
PROGRAM I HAD LIKE THIS BECAUSE
THIS IS ONE AREA WHERE THERE IS
A BASELINE REDUCTION PROPOSED
FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE. TOTAL
THIRTY THREE POINT SEVEN
MILLION HOWEVER THE PROPOSAL TO
OFFSET THAT IN PART BY ABOUT
NINETEEN MILLION DOLLARS IN THE
HABITAT CONSERVATION FUND. THE
OTHER EXCEPTIONAL POINT OUT IS
FOR THE FROM THE BOTTOM ON THE
LIST THE RELATIVELY SMALL
AMOUNT OF FUNNY PROPOSED IN THE
MAY REVISED FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS. FOR A NEW STATE PARK-
THIS IS A REDUCTION FROM A
TWENTY MILLION DOLLAR PROPOSAL
IN JANUARY- IN THIS CASE WE
RECOMMEND A REJECTION OF THE
PROPOSAL PARTLY DUE TO THE
GENERAL FUND CONDITION YEAH.
BUT ALSO BECAUSE THE
ADMINISTRATION HAS NOT PROVIDED
THE LEGISLATURE WAS SUFFICIENT
INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT PARK
WOULD BE OUR WEBSITE WOULD BE
REQUIRED TO CREATE THIS NEW
PARK. IN PERSON- THE
IMPLICATION READING PARK IS
THAT THERE WOULD BE FUTURE
CAPITAL COST FOR IMPROVEMENTS
AS WELL I'M GOING OPERATIONS
AND MAINTENANCE COSTS AND IT
SEEMS. AT THIS POINT PRUDENT TO
THE CHRIS **** PROJECT WE DON'T
KNOW WHAT THE SITE IS. IF YOU
TURN TO THE THIRD PAGE. THIS IS
A OF THE- FINE LOAN ENTRANCE.
PROPOSED TO THE GENERAL FUND.
AS YOU CAN SEE ONE POINT
BILION. IN TOTAL. AND THIS IS
THAT MAKE UP THE BIGGEST.
SOURCE OF SOLUTIONS FOR THE
GENERAL FUND. IN THESE PROGRAM
AREAS. IN GENERAL WE THINK- THE
PROPOSALS ARE REASONABLE AND
GIVEN THE GENERAL FUND
CONDITION HOWEVER JUST A COUPLE
OF NOTES FOR OF ALL THEY ARE.
ONE TIME SOLUTIONS AND
THEREFORE- THEY'RE NOT BUT-
THEY ARE LOANS- THEY ARE NOT
AVAILABLE FOR USE. IN NEXT YEAR.
THERE ALSO DID YOU A FUTURE
GENERAL FUND ABA. TO REPAIR
THOSE COSTS WHILE WE GENERALLY
HAVE NO CONCERNS WITH THE LOANS
AND TRANSFERRED AND ONE JUST A
HIGHLIGHTED THE POSSIBLE
EXCEPTION IS THE FIRST ONE ON
THE LIST THE TRANSFER FROM THE
STATE HIGHWAY CAL. THE ISSUE
HERE THAT THIS IS GENERALLY A
FUN DAY IS A PROTECTED BY
ARTICLE NINETEEN OF THE
CONSTITUTION AND IS NOT
AVAILABLE FOR NON
TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES
INCLUDING TRANSFERRED ALONE.
HOWEVER THE INITIATION HAD
IDENTIFIED A POSSIBLE EXCEPTION
TO THIS- BASED ON. THIS AND
THIS PROPOSAL THE TRANSFER OF
INTEREST EARNINGS ON THE
ACCOUNT WHICH IS NOT EXPLICITLY
PROHIBITED AND- IN THE
CONSTITUTION WORK CURRENTLY-
CONSULTING WITH LEGISLATIVE
COUNSEL TO SEE- IF THEY SHARE
THAT SAME INTERPRETATION OF
WALL. CIRCLE BACK WITH
COMMITTEE ON ON WHAT WE LEARN.
YOU TURN TO PAGE FOUR THERE ARE
REAL FEW. GENERAL AUGMENT.
PROPOSED AND THE NEIGHBOR
VISION OR RETAIN FROM JANUARY
OF THIS HIGHLIGHTS THE- THE
LARGER ONE MORE THAN FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS. I JUST A
COUPLE TO HIGHLIGHT HERE THE
FIRST TWO FOR PARKS AND THE
DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND
AGRICULTURE- IN THIS CASE NEEDS
ARE. COMBINATION CURRENT YEAR
AND BUDGET YEAR AUGMENTATION
MEANT TO ADDRESS ON GOING AND
IN SOME CASES NEW COST- BUT
THAT ARE NOT ABLE TO BE FUNDED
BECAUSE OF THE REDUCTION
REVENUES FROM REDUCE VISITOR
SHIP AND AN ASSOCIATE AND SHE-
AND THE INABILITY TO HOLD. AS
MANY EVENTS. AS WE CAN BE
REASONABLE ALTHOUGH EXACT.
ESTIMATE ARE ARE SUBJECT TO
SOME UNCERTAINTY. THE THIRD
ITEM ON THE LIST THE CALIFORNIA
RELEASE BACKING FACTOR
PROPOSAL- THIS IS A PROPOSAL
FROM JANUARY- IT IS RETAIN FROM
THEN ON ALTHOUGH THE SOME OF
THE SPECIFICS OF THE PROPOSAL
ARE MODIFIED. YEAH IN THIS CASE
WE SIMPLY HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS
IS. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT THE
GENERAL FUND AUGMENTATION
PROPOSED IN THE MAY REVISION
ARE RETAINED IN THE MAYOR
VISION AND WE THINK THIS WILL
BE A TOUGH DECISION FOR THE
LEGISLATURE ON THE ONE HAND
THERE IS- I THINK A REAL
INTEREST IN. CONTINUING TO
SUPPORT WILD FIRE EFFORTS OF
WILDFIRE OF PROTECTION AT THE
SAME TIME THIS IS IT AND IN
ADDITION TO THAT OF COURSE
THERE IS CONCERN THAT THIS
COULD BE A PARTICULARLY BAD
FIRE YEAR HELLO PRECIPITATION
GOAL THAT'S THIS IS A LARGE
IMPORTANT. I'M GOING GROWING
PROPOSE IT RIGHT THE ENGINE
THEIR FIVE. IN OUT HERE IN
THEIR FULL YOU'LL HAVE TO WEIGH
THAT YOUR GENERAL FUND. HE'S
I'M ACTUALLY ABLE TO THE FINAL
I. FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH
WHILE. THIS IS A RELATIVELY SO
FOR FIRST MILLION DOLLARS IS TO
EMPLOYEE. HOWEVER SOME. ACTIVE
IN THE DEPARTMENT AND WE SIMPLY
NO IN THIS CASE THAT- WELL WE
DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERN WITH THE
SPECIFIC ACTIVITY PROPOSED. IT
IS A BET ON INCONGRUOUS WITH
THE IDEA OF ALSO CUTTING BASED
FUNDING FOR THE DEPARTMENT. AS
MENTIONED EARLIER. IF YOU TURN
TO PAGE FIVE OF THE HAND OUT A
COUPLE OF HIGH LEVEL COMMENTS
BUT LOOKING AT THE OVERALL
GENERAL FUND ARCHITECTURE OF A
PROPOSED IN THE NEAR VISION FOR
THESE AGENCIES. OTHER PERSON
OVERALL WE THINK THE- NATURE OF
THE PROPOSAL A REASONABLE GIVEN
THE LOSS IN GENERAL FUND
REVENUE PROJECTED. BUT WE DO
NOT AGAIN THAT MOST OF THESE
INCLUDING THE SPECIAL FUNDS
LOANS TRANSFERS- AND FINE SHIPS
ARE ONE TIME IN NATURE AND OUR
OFFICE IS PROJECTING THAT THIS
WILL BE A MULTI YEAR. GENERAL
FUND- PROBLEM. BUT WITH REGARD
TO THE BASS LINE BECAUSE I
ALREADY NOTED THE ONE FOR FISH
AND WILDLIFE THE OTHER ONE TO
MAKE SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF IT IN
THE DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND
RECREATION. THIS WOULD BE A
THIRTY MILLION DOLLAR GENERAL
FUND REDUCTION BUT NOT IN THE
BUDGET YEAR PROPOSED FOR. THE
FOLLOWING YEAR IN BOTH THESE
CASES WE YOU YOU MIGHT
ULTIMATELY FIND THAT THEY'RE
NECESSARY TO ENACT IN ORDER TO
BALANCE THE BUDGET GIVEN
LIMITED GENERAL FUND REVENUES.
I THINK OUR MAIN CONCERN AT
THIS POINT WITH BOTH OF THESE-
IS THE LACK OF SORT OF SPECIFIC
INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO THE
EMPLOYMENT AND THAT MAY BE
SOMETHING THE COMMITTEE WANTS
TO. CONTINUE TO FOLLOW UP WITH
THE DEPARTMENT ON. ON PAGE SIX-
JUST ONE MORE COMMENT ABOUT THE
GENERAL FUND EIGHT IS THAT WITH
RESPECT TO THE AUGMENTATION
PROPOSED AGAIN WE THINK THERE
ARE REASONABLE RATIONALE
PROPOSED BY THE MINISTRATION-
IN GENERAL FOR THE- HOWEVER.
THEY DO REFLECT THE GOVERNOR'S
SPENDING PRIORITIES AND SO WE
SIMPLY ENCOURAGE THE CANADIAN
THE LEGISLATURE TO ENSURE THAT.
YOU SHARE THE SAME PRIORITIES-
GIVEN THE LIMITED GENERAL FUND
REVENUES AVAILABLE THIS COMING
YEAR. IF YOU TURN TO PAGE. I
WANT HIGHLIGHT A FEW ISSUES
RELATED TO SPECIAL FUNDS AND
BOND FUNDS- THIS BECAUSE IN
FACT IN THIS PROGRAM AREA.
THOSE WHO MAKE UP MOST OF THE
REVENUE SOURCES FOR PROGRAMS.
THE FIRST ISSUE TO HIGHLIGHT IF
THE CAP AND TRADE EXPENDITURE
PLAN AS THE COMMITTEE MAY WELL
NOW THE THERE IS SIGNIFICANT
AND UNCERTAINTY ABOUT WHAT
BUDGET YEAR REVENUES ARE GOING
TO LOOK LIKE. FROM THE CAP AND
TRADE OPTIONS GIVEN THE DECLINE
IN ECONOMIC ACTIVITY AND REDUCE
DRIVING- THE MAIN REVISION
INCLUDES ESSENTIALLY THE SAME.
FUNDING PLAN AS PROPOSED
ANYWHERE AND NINE HUNDRED SIXTY
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE
FOR THE CALL THE DISCRETIONARY
PROGRAM- HOWEVER THE NEAR
VISION DOES ALSO INCLUDE.
ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE WHICH
UPRIGHT CLEARLY PRIORITIZE IS
THE- PROGRAM THAT WOULD RECEIVE
FUNDING FIRST SHOULD REVENUE TO
BE LOWER THAN PROJECTED WE
THINK ULTIMATELY THAT IS A STEP
STRATEGY TO SET EXPLICIT
PRIORITIES IN THE BUDGET- WE
SIMPLY NOTE THAT. THE PROGRAMS
PRIORITIZE ARE THOSE THAT ARE
THE GOVERNOR'S PRIORITIES
INSTANTLY THE LEGISLATURE MAY
HAVE DIFFERENT PRIORITIES-
BASED ON AS INTEREST AND- HOW
IT WANTS TO BALANCE- DIFFERENT-
POLICY GOALS SUCH AS- REDUCING
GHG EMISSIONS- CLIMATE
ADAPTATION AND- IMPROVING AIR
QUALITY NEXT- IT IS BORN TO
NOTE THAT THE MERRY VISION
WITHDRAWALS TO. WITHDRAWS TO
MAJOR CLIMATE PROPOSALS A FOUR
POINT EIGHT BILLION DOLLAR
CLIMATE BOND AS WELL AS THE
PROVISION OF TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION FROM THE GENERAL FUND
FOR NEW CLIMATE CATALYST FUND.
WITH REGARD TO TRANSPORTATION
RATHER I ALREADY MENTIONED THE
DECLINE IN ANTICIPATED
REVENUES- FOR CERTAIN PROGRAMS
AND PARTICULARLY THOSE- LOCAL
PROGRAMS THAT ARE FUNDED
THROUGH. THE DIESEL SALES TAX
AND- GASOLINE EXCISE TAX ALSO
WERE NOTING IS- THE MOTOR
VEHICLE ACCOUNT. AND BASED ON
PROJECTED DECLINE IN
REGISTRATION- REVENUES THOUGH
FUND IS NOW PROJECTED TO GO AND
SOLD IN TWO YEARS SOONER THAN
HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY PREVIOUSLY
PROJECTED. IN TWENTY TWENTY TWO
TWENTY THREE NOW- AND SO THIS
IS GONNA BE AN AREA THAT IS
IMPORTANT FOR OUR OFFICE IN THE
COMMITTEES CONTINUE TO MONITOR.
IF YOU TURN THE LAST PAGE PAGE
EIGHT JUST- VERY QUICKLY A
COUPLE OF OTHER I THINK ON A-
FISCAL POLICY BASED IMPORTANT
ISSUE THE NO ALREADY
REFERENCED- IN THE DEPARTMENT
OF TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL.
THE MAYOR REVISION CONTINUES TO
PROPOSE TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE
THAT WOULD ESTABLISH A NEW
OVERSIGHT BOARD INCREASED. AND
ESTABLISH A NEW FEE STRUCTURE-
THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT
POLICY OR A FOR THE- COMMITTEE
TO CONSIDER. ALSO IMPORTANT NO
PRETTY SIZEABLE INCREASE IN
PROPOSITION SIXTY EIGHT FUNNY
PROPOSED IN THE MAY REVISION
RELATIVE TO JANUARY- A COUPLE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN
ADDITIONAL FUNDING THERE. AND
THEN LASTLY- WOULD KNOW THAT
THEIR MAYOR VISIONING PROVIDE
AND A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN WHAT
WAS INCLUDED IN JERRY BUDGET
BUT FOR TOTAL ABOUT THIRTY
MILLION DOLLARS- FOR THE PUBLIC
UTILITY COMMISSION AND TO
IMPLEMENT. THE NINE OH AND
OTHER RELATED WILD HAIR OF
LEGISLATION IT TO DO OVER. OF
WILD. AND AN IMPORT. CENTRE
RECENTLY ENACT. FOR DIALOGUE.
SO WITH THAT THAT CONCLUDES MY
REMARKS HAPPY TO. ADJUST
ADDITIONAL BUT AS YOU CAN ON.
THANK YOU I'VE JUST LEARNED
THAT APPARENTLY THE PHONE A OR
CODE TO THAT I GAVE A EARLIER
IS. I READ THE ONE FROM THE
AGENDA BUT A PAIR THAT'S NOT
THE- MISS CHANCE. THERE'S AN
ISSUE WITH THAT OKAY I'M
READING TO SEPARATE TO- EMAILS-
I WILL IF IT IF IT THERE'S AN
ISSUE WITH THE NUMBER IF IT
NEEDS CORRECTION I WILL GIVE
YOU AN UPDATE JUST AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU
WHO ARE TRYING TO- GET IN THE
QUEUE FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AND
HAVE BEEN STYMIED THAT'S WHAT
THE PROBLEM IS WERE ADDRESSING
IT AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE
THAT RESULT IN SHORT ORDER. ARE
THERE A WILL WANT WE- HOLD
QUESTIONS- UNTIL ALL PANELISTS
OF SPOKEN SO NEXT WE HAVE MARK
MONROE. THE ASSISTANT PROGRAM
BUDGET MANAGER WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND THANK
YOU VERY MUCH MISTER BROWN
YOU'LL STICK AROUND FOR
QUESTIONS. YES GOOD MORNING-
THIS IS MARK ONE ROW WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE- AND-
WANTED TO THANK THE LA FOR YOU
KNOW. GOOD REPRESENTATION OF
WHAT'S IN THE BUDGET SUMMARY
THERE. THE ONLY THING THAT I
THINK- I WOULD ADD IS- JUST A
REFERENCE TO THE- THE FEDERAL
CARE ACT WHICH DID PROVIDE AN
ADDITIONAL THREE POINT SEVEN.
BILLION DOLLARS FOR LOCAL
TRANSIT- AND THAT FUNDING DOES
NOT GO THROUGH THE BUDGET THAT
GOES DIRECTLY TO. LOCAL TRANSIT
AGENCIES. AND SO- WITH THAT I
THINK I JUST SAY THAT THERESA
CALVERT ON MY AND MY OTHER
COLLEAGUES ARE HERE TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.
THANK YOU- MISS CALVERT. HI
GOOD MORNING F. THREE TO COVER
IT WITH ALSO WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND HERE
TO PARTICIPATE AND THAT THE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS AND- AS
MENTIONED EARLY ON IF THERE'S
ANYTHING THAT WE NEED TO FOLLOW
UP ON WE WILL DO SO WITH BUDGET
COMMITTEE STAFF BUT THANK YOU
FOR HAVING US ALL RIGHT THANK
YOU SO NOW WE WILL MOVE TO.
ADDITIONAL MEMBER COMMENTS IF
YOU HAVE THEM- AND TO OR
QUESTIONS. MR FONG. I'M THIS IS
A QUESTION FOR THAT TO THE LA
L. BUT- I'M I'M SURE THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE MAY WANT
TO CHIME IN HERE BUT- CERTAINLY
I WANTED TO DELVE INTO- WHAT
WAS HIGHLIGHTED THE
PRESENTATION ABOUT THE
GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISED PROPOSAL
TO TRANSFER- A HUNDRED SIXTY
TWO MILLION FROM THE ROAD
PROJECTS TO THE GENERAL FUND-
THE TRANSFER OF A HUNDRED
THIRTY MILLION OF THAT IS FROM
THE STATE HIGHWAY ACCOUNT.
WHICH YOU MENTIONED RAISES SOME
LEGAL ISSUES SPECIFICALLY- I
PROP TWENTY. WHICH STATES THAT.
THAT THE FUNDS- PROVIDED SHOULD
BE PROHIBITED FROM BEING SEIZE
DIVERTED SHIFTED BORROWED.
SUSPENDED AND SHOULD BE
DEDICATED TO- FUNDING FOR LOCAL
SERVICES ARE DEDICATED TO
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT
PROJECTS- CAN YOU CUT A DELVE
INTO THE MORE THE LEGAL ISSUES
OF. AND IS THIS- BUT IT IS THIS
DIVERSION SOMETHING THAT DOES
VIOLATE- THE STATE CONSTITUTION.
CAN YOU HEAR ME. YES YEAH OKAY-
YEAH SO YOU'RE RIGHT THAT THE-
YEAH STATE CONSTITUTION DOES
PROHIBIT. THE USE OF-
TRANSPORTATION NEEDS TO
TRANSPORTATION FUNDS TYPICALLY
FOR NON TRANSPORTATION RELATED
PURPOSES WHICH I TRANSFERRED TO
THE GENERAL FUND WOULD OF
COURSE QUALIFY AS- YOU YOU MAY
WANT TO ASK FINANCE FOR HOW
THEY'VE INTERPRETED THIS BUT-
OUR UNDERSTANDING IN TALKING TO
THEM IS THAT THE- THOUGHT IS
THAT THEIR INTEREST EARNED. ON
SOME OF THE FUNDS IN THE STATE
HIGHWAY ACCOUNT AND THAT THAT
IS NOT EXPLICITLY PROHIBITED
FROM BEING USED FOR NON
TRANSPORTATION PURPOSES. NOT
BEING A I'M NOT ONE TO PROP. TO
OPINE ON WHETHER THIS IS IN
FACT LEGAL OR NOT WE HAVE OUR
BEST UNDERSTAND IS THIS WOULD
BE THE FIRST TIME THIS
INTERPRETATION IS IN USE. SO
WE'VE GOT WE ARE CURRENTLY
CONSULTING WITH COUNSEL AND
WILL- CHARLIE REALLY WHATEVER
WE LEARN TO THE COMMITTEE STAFF.
SO MAYBE THE QUESTION TO
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE THEN IS
HOW IS. HOW IS AS JUSTIFICATION
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR. DID YOU
CREATE THIS JUSTIFICATION TO DO
THIS OR- IT SEEMS PRETTY CLEAR
TO ME THAT. WAY AND THE GAS TAX
TO BE WHAT'S HAPPENING. THAT IT
WAS PRETTY CLEAR AT LEAST FROM
THE ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT OF IT
THAT THE- THE DOLLARS WOULD BE
GOING TO. ROAD PROJECTS AND
THAT. THIS PROPOSAL BY THE
ADMINISTRATION. BREAKS THAT
PROMISE MADE TO THE PUBLIC THAT
HE WOULDN'T DIVERT THE GAS TAX
DOLLARS SO MAYBE DEPARTMENT.
CAN I HEAR FROM THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE. CERTAINLY AND TO BE
CLEAR PROBABLY TWENTY PROTECT
THE FUEL TAX REVENUES.
ATTRACTED A NUMBER OF
TRANSPORTATION RVENUES THE
ACTION BUT BUT IT'S IT PROTECTS
ACTUAL REVENUES THAT COME IN-
AND IT DIDN'T EXPLICITLY
PROTECT THE INTEREST EARNED ON
THOSE WHILE THEY WERE IN THE
ACCOUNT. AND SO THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE TRANSFERRING HRE. IT'S
YOU KNOW IF THE INTEREST STATE
IN THE- THE PHONE LONG ENOUGH
THAT- THEY WOULD. BE
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS WITH
THESE THESE FUNDS IN PARTICULAR
I THINK WE'VE HAD A GENERAL
UNDERSTANDING INTERNALLY AT
LEAST THAT- THESE WERE NOT
SUBJECT ARTICLE NINETEEN
PROTECTIONS AND SO WHEN WE
FOUND OURSELVES IN THIS-
BROADER BUDGETARY DILEMMA-
SWEET. BUT THAT WE DECIDED TO
USE THEM FOR THIS PURPOSE. OKAY
IT SEEMS TO ME AT LEAST THAT.
YOU YOU'RE VIOLATING THE SPIRIT
OF WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE
PROTECTIONS WORD THAT. YOUR
PROTECTING THE FUNDS BUT THEN
ANY INTEREST EARNED OFF THAT
FUNDS YOU'RE NOW DIVERTING- IT
SEEMS TO ME THAT THAT'S NOT
WHAT- CALIFORNIA. RESIDENTS
EXPECTED OF- THE PROTECTION OF
THE STATE HIGHWAY ACCOUNT BUT
DOES THE STATE PLAN ON PAYING
BACK THESE TRANSPORTATION FUNDS
AT A LATER DATE AND IF SO. WHEN
WOULD THAT BE. SO NOW- THE
PROPOSAL IS TO- TO TRANSFER
THESE FUNDS PERMANENTLY- THAT
FROM THE STATE HIGHWAY ACCOUNT-
AND- IT YES. THE LA MENTIONED
THERE'S ALSO FUNDING FROM THE
TRAFFIC CONGESTION RELIEF FUND
WHICH ACTUALLY WAS TRANSFERRED
FROM THE GENERAL FUND- BACK IN
THE EARLY TWO THOUSAND. SO BOTH
OF THOSE ARE TRANSFERS- WE DO
HAVE- ONE PROPOSAL FOR TWENTY
TWO MILLION DOLLAR LOAN FROM
THE- OF INNER AERONAUTICS
FUNDING. AND THE LOCAL AIRPORT
ON ACCOUNT. SO JUST TO BE CLEAR
THE ADMINISTRATION DOESN'T
PROPOSED. PAYING BACK ANY OF
THOSE TRANSFERS FROM THE STATE
HIGHWAY COUNT. THAT ONCE IT'S
BEEN TRANSFERRED THE GENERAL
FUND. YES THAT IS CORRECT WE DO
NOT. OKAY IT'S VERY TROUBLING-
TO HEAR THAT AND I JUST THINK
THAT- THAT SOMETHING THAT I
THINK BREAKS THE PROMISE THAT
THAT THE LEGISLATURE MADE TO
TAKE IN THE ADMINISTRATION THE
PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION BATES-
TO- CALIFORNIANS WHEN THEY SAID
THEY WOULD. WOULDN'T DIVERT I
GUESS SIX DOLLARS- MOVING TO
THE TO- MAYBE TO RESET CAN
ANSWER THIS IN REGARDS TO-
THOUGH THOSE IN TODAY THE WATER
THE WILL THAT THE STATE WATER
PROJECT- AND- THE WATER BUDGET-
I KNOW. THAT THERE WAS A I
REQUEST TO. SHE ALLOCATE A
MILLION DOLLARS FOR COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH SUING THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON THE
BIOLOGICAL PINIONS- THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL IS SUING THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER THAT
AND THEN IN AND NOW I GUESS
YOU'RE ASKING. FOR ADDITIONAL
FUNDS IT SEEMS TO ME THAT
THERE'S THE STATE'S ASKING FOR.
IT STATES SUING DEVELOPMENT
TWICE IS A POSSIBLE TO SAVE THE
MILLION DOLLARS- BUT I'M CENTER
STAND WHY. THE STATE'S ASKING
FOR MILLION DOLLARS TO SUE THE
GOVERNMENT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND THEN THEY TURN
GENERAL ALSO IS SUING THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO AND IF I
IF I COULD ASK YOU TO PAUSE
BEFORE YOU ANSWER THAT
QUESTION- WILL GIVE YOU TIME TO
CHECK ABOUT YOUR RESPONSE FOR A
MOMENT- I'M GOING TO UPDATE THE
PUBLIC WITH THE- INFORMATION.
THE PHONE NUMBER THAT- HAD THAT
I HAD DOES STATE BEFORE IS THE
CORRECT PHONE NUMBER SO
877-692-8957 IS THE NUMBER YOU
WANT TO CALL IN ON. BUT THE
ACCESS CODE MAKE A NOTE OF THIS
IS. ONE THREE ONE FIVE FOUR TWO
ZERO TWO. AGAIN ONE THREE ONE
FIVE. FOUR TWO ZERO TWO AND-
HOPEFULLY THAT'LL RESOLVE ANY
PROBLEMS THAT FOLKS WERE HAPPEN.
THANK YOU SORRY FOR THE
INTEREST. THANK CHAIRMAN. THANK
YOU THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION
YES THE ONE MILLION DOLLARS IN
COST IS RELATED TO THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL'S COST- THAT ARE AT.
BEATING HEARD GIVEN THE AG'S
OFFICE IS WORKING ON BEHALF OF
THAT CALIFORNIA NATURAL
RESOURCES AGENCY AS WELL AS
KELLY. SO NOT AT A DUPLICATION
OF COSTS THAT NEARLY EIGHT THAT
THE PROCESS IS VERY FOR THOSE
AGENCIES TO WORK WITH THE OJ ON
THIS MATTER OKAY SO THE MILLION
DOLLARS IS FOR THE FOR THE
LITIGATION TO FORD AND FORT
FORCE ENTIRETY REFERRED. TO AND
TO TELL THE- I DON'T KNOW THAT
I CAN SAY IN TOTALITY IS OUR
OUR ESTIMATE IS THAT THE
LITIGATION BUT IT IS FOR BOTH
OF THE AGENCIES OR ALSO
COORDINATING ON THIS SO IT IS
A- COORDINATED EFFORT SURE. I
MEAN. I JUST TO BE CLEAR I MEAN
I BELIEVE THAT THIS. WHOLE
LITIGATION ON THE BIOPSY IS
UNNECESSARY THAT. THE THAT THE
STATE AND THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE WORKING
TOGETHER- TO DEVELOP- SOME TYPE
OF STRUCTURE THAT ALLOWS THE
FEDERAL BIOPSY BE INCLUDED AND
AN OPERATIONAL. I MEAN SO. IT
SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A
WASTEFUL COSTS IF WE CAN HAVE
THE STATE AND THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT WORK TOGETHER. TO
FINALIZE THE BIOLOGICAL PINIONS
ME IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION OF
WITHDRAWING THE LITIGATION- SO
THAT THE MILLION DOLLARS COULD
BE SAVED. BUT THERE'S NO
PROPOSAL AS OR THIS DOES NOT
REFLECT ANY PROPOSAL TO
WITHDRAW THE LITIGATION IT.
LITIGATION INVOLVES MULTIPLE
STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES- AND
SO IT IS EXPECTED TO BE PRETTY
PRETTY TECHNICAL. AND INVOLVED
MASSIVELY NOTICE ON THEM AND
DISAPPOINTED THAT WE DON'T HAVE
THE AGENCY HEADS- TESTIFYING IN
AND SO I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE NOT
IN A TOUGH POSITION TRYING TO-
EXPLAIN I'LL A NUMBER OF THINGS
THAT THE AGENCIES ARE DOING
BUT- THIS CAN YOU. IT MAY AND
IN DISCUSSINGTHE THIS TOPIC
WITH THE AGENCIES CAN YOU EXT.
KIND OF EXPLAIN TO ME OR TO THE
TO THE COMMITTEE WHY THE STATE
CHOSE TO ABANDON. THE
COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TRYING
TO- GET TO VOLUNTARY AGREEMENTS
TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO-
DEVELOP A COLLABORATIVE OF
BIOLOGICAL OPINION IN IN STAG
GOING WITH LITIGATION. LET ME
TRY T GET BACK TO YOU ON A
LITTLE BIT MORE OF AND PERHAPS
WHAT BACKGROUND OR HISTORY LED
US TO THIS PART OR TO THIS
POINT SO I CAN. WORK WITH THE
AGENCIES TO FOLLOW UP AND SEE
WHAT WE CAN GET TO BUDGET
COMMITTEE STAFF TO. YEAH WE CAN
DO TO ADDRESS THAT QUESTION
OKAY I MEAN I CERTAINLY WOULD
SAY THAT THE VOLUNTARY
AGREEMENTS AND- OF. A BETTER
COLOR. PROCESS AND- OF
APPROVING THE FEDERAL OF
FEDERAL BIOLOGICAL OPINIONS AS
WELL AS- A CLEAN INCIDENTAL
TAKE PERMIT. WOULD HAVE.
PROVIDED A MORE LASTING AND
COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION TO THE
WATER CHALLENGES OF CALIFORNIA
AND WE WOULD TO BE SOMETHING WE
WOULD BE SAVING A MILLION
DOLLARS TO SO- IF THAT
SOMETHING THAT. YOU COULD KIND
OF SHED SOME LIGHT ON WHY THE
GOVERNOR CHANGES PRIORITIES- I
CERTAINLY WOULD APPRECIATE
THAT. I AND LASTLY AND I KNOW
THAT WORD BUT WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE'RE ON SINCE AT THE
TIME. I IN TERMS OF THE PARKS-
BUDGET. I NOTICED THAT. THAT
WOULD BE. THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND ITS ANALYSIS
SAYS THAT THERE IS A BILLION
DOLLARS IN DEFERRED. PARK
MAINTENANCE COSTS AND MAYBE
THIS IS A QUESTION FOR THE LA
SO- AND THEN FOLLOWED UP BY THE
DEPARTMENT AS IF THEY WANT TO
FOLLOW UP. SO IT SEEMS
INTERESTING TO ME THAT. FROM
BUDGETARY PRIOR STANDPOINT. THE
ADMINISTRATION IS PROPOSING TO.
NOT DEAL WITH THE DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE BUT THEN AT THE
SAME TIME EXPAND GENERAL FUND
DOLLARS TO. PUT A NEW PARK IN
AND TO EXPAND EXISTING PARKS-
AT A TIME WHEN WE PROBABLY NEED
TO FOCUS ON THE FOR PAYMENTS
AND AT THE SAME TIME- THE
GOVERNOR'S INDICATED THAT THEIR
TRIGGER CUTS TO TEACHERS AND
FIRST RESPONDERS I WOULD THINK
THAT YOU WOULD. TAKE THAT THOSE
FUNDS AND EVEN PUT IT TO THAT
CAN CAN DALY ARE KIND OF TALK
ABOUT THAT. THAT'S RIGHT THE
BUDGET THE NAY REVISION
INCLUDES FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NEW
PARK- RIGHT NOW WE DO NOT HAVE
A PROPOSAL SPECIFIC PROPOSAL
FOR WEBSITE THAT WOULD BE- OR
WHAT THE ONGOING OPERATIONS AN
IMPROVEMENT COST WOULD BE. FOR
ANY SITE- AS THAT WE'RE
RECOMMENDING REJECTING IT AND
AS YOU KNOW MISTER FONG THE-
PARKS DEPARTMENT DOES HAVE A
LONG LIST OF DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE. THAT HAS NOT BEEN-
COMPLETED CRUDE OVER NUMBER OF
YEARS. AND THE LETTER. AND
YEARS OF THE MORE FOR THE AND
IN A- PROPOSITION SIXTY EIGHT
INCLUDES FUNDING TO ADDRESS-
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE IN STATE
PARKS AND SO THAT MAY REVISED
DOES IN FACT INCLUDE SOME
FUNDING FOR THAT- BUT
ULTIMATELY- IT WILL NOT ADDRESS
THE MAJORITY OF THAT ON GOING.
PROBLEM. YEAH I DID IT. DOESN'T
QUITE MAKE SENSE IN OUR MY- TO
ESTABLISH A NEW PARK WITH A
ACOSTA SHE WE THEY'RE OTHER
CUTS BEING PROPOSED OKAY WHAT I
AM. HI THAT ON I THINK THAT
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF MAYBE
SOME PRIORITIES AND TO BE A
RIPPER REAR- REEVALUATED- IF
WE'RE GOING TO. MAKE THE
PROBLEM WORSE YOU PROBABLY
SHOULD STOP TAKING THE WHOLE
AND MOVE THE MONEY INTO MORE-
CORE CORE FUNCTIONS LIKE
TEACHERS FIRST RESPONDERS-
WE'RE DEALING WITH KIND OF THE
STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS THAT WE
HAVE. I WILL- JUST MAYBE CAN
YOU TALK ABOUT THE TO THE LA
OKAY TALK ABOUT THE- CAPTURE.
AS YOU GOES AND JUST GIVE
REVENUE TO THE CAPTURED BROKE
COMES IN LESS DOES THAT MEAN
ALL THE OTHER PROGRAMS AFTER
THE TOWARD THE END OF THE
PRIORITY LIST DO THEY GET NO
MONEY OR LESS MONEY OR HOW DOES
THAT HOW DOES THAT FUNCTION.
MAYBE THAT AND MAYBE DEPARTMENT
FINANCE CAN SHED SOME LIGHT ON
THE TWO. THANK YOU GEN. YOUR SO
THE WAY THE BUT LANGUAGES. DRY
THEREFORE. THAT ARE PRIORITIZE
FIRST FOR FINDING AS IT COMES
AND- FORCING WILDFIRE
PREVENTION. LOCAL AIR POLLUTION
REDUCTIONS THIS EIGHTY SIX
SEVENTEEN PROGRAMS THE SAFE AND
AFFORDABLE DRINKING WATER
PROGRAM AND AGRICULTURAL
EQUIPMENT UPGRADES AND
REPLACEMENT THOSE FOR PROGRAMS.
WOULD BE THE FIRST TO RECIEVE
FINDING AS IT COMES IN FROM THE
AUCTION. AS IS THOUGH AND
THEY'VE AND THE FUNNY BE
PROVIDED PROPORTIONALLY ACROSS
THOSE FOR PROGRAMS. ONCE THOSE
ARE FULLY FUNDED THEN THE OTHER
PROGRAMS ON THE- LIST ON THE IN
THE EXPENDITURE PLAN. WHICH
START RECEIVING FUNDING AND
AGAIN. THOSE WOULD RECEIVE THEM
ON UP ON A PROPORTIONAL BASIS
AS- WITH AVAILABLE- SO GIVE ME
THINK PRIORITIZATION OF SOME
KIND REALLY MAKES SENSE GIVEN
THE HIGH DEGREE BUT OF RATHER.
UNCERTAINTY HERE HM OUR MINDS
ARE OF. HE'D LIKE. MEAN AS A
LEAD. WHAT PROGRAM. ARE IN IN-
WE CAN SURELY HELP YOU
STRUCTURE IT IN WHATEVER WAY.
MAKES MOST SENSE WHETHER IT'S
SIMPLY TO TEAR LIKE THAT WERE
MORE TEARS OF FUNDING- THAT
MAYBE I THE FIRST. TIER OF
PRIORITY SECOND HERE THIRTY
EIGHT NUMBER. DIFFERENT LIKE
YOU COULD STRUCTURE IT. OKAY
THE VERY MUCH CHAIRMAN. THANK
YOU FOR I WANT TO THE IS RANTS
WHO IS ON AVOID DELAYED AND-
GETTING HERE THIS MORE WE HAVE
JUST HER FROM LA AND TO. OF
FOR. AND A BRIEF PRISON EACH
MEMBER HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO
MAKE AN OPENING STATEMENT- IF
YOU WANNA DO THAT NOW OR AFTER
YOU GET SITUATED- OR IF YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. NOW IS THE
TIME. IF I MAKE. PLEASE THANK
YOU. I THINK IT'S DURING THESE
TIMES. I'M PREDICTABLE TIMES
QUITE FRANKLY THE WE HAVE TO
CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR
COMMUNITIES IN COMMUNITIES LIKE
SAN BERNARDINO AND THERE ARE
OTHERS LIKE SO MY COLLEAGUES
ARE HERE ON THE WHICH CHAIR OF
THE AIR THAT I BREATHE IN MY
COMMUNITY WE REALLY HAVE TO DO
SO MUCH MORE. IN THAT REGARD.
IN TWENTY TWENTY SAMBAR DINO
COUNTY RANKED NUMBER ONE FOR
OZONE POLLUTION. AND NUMBER
FIVE FOR PARTICULAR MATTER
POLLUTION. PEOPLE POINTED OUT
THAT WE'VE NEVER SEEN CLEANER
AIR DUE TO THE STATE HOME
ORDERS. BUT MY CONSTITUENTS ARE
STILL BREATHING THE SAME. SOME
OF THE DIRTIEST AIR IN THE
COUNTRY WE NEED TO BE DOING
MORE TO CLEAN THE AIR FROM THE
DIRTIEST SOURCES AND THAT
INCLUDES LOOKING AT DIFFERENT
FUNDING SOURCES. INSTEAD OF
RELYING ONLY ON. D. G. R. F.
FUNDS DIRTY ERROR IN A PUBLIC
HEALTH IS A IS A PUBLIC HEALTH
HAZARD AND NOW THAT WE ARE
DEALING WITH THIS TEN DE MIKE
IT'S BECOME AN EVEN GREATER
THREAT. STUDIES ARE BEGINNING
TO SHOW THEIR POLLUTION
EXACERBATES THE PROBLEM FURTHER
LEADING TOWARDS INCREASED
DEATHS LINKED TO COBIT NINETEEN.
THIS ISN'T HAPPENING EQUALLY
LATINOS MAKE A 53% OF ALL
POSITIVE TEST CASES IN
CALIFORNIA AND ARE DYING
DISPROPORTIONATELY MORE
COMPARED TO THEIR DEMOCRAT TO
OTHER DEMOGRAPHICS. WE ALSO
NEED TO DOUBLE DOWN ON CLEANING
UP OUR AIR. ARE CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS ARE THE
STATE'S TOP CLEAN AIR PROGRAMS
THEY REDUCE EMISSIONS FROM THE
LARGEST SECTOR IN CALIFORNIA
TRANSPORTATION. THE SECTOR
MAKES UP 50% OF ALL THE
MISSIONS IN CALIFORNIA WITH THE
MAJORITY OF THESE EMISSIONS
CONCENTRATED MAINLY. IN
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES AND
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR SUCH AS
THE ONES IN MY DISTRICT. WE
NEED TO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN
REDUCING EMISSIONS AT THE
SOURCE. CLEANING UP THE
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR WOULD
OUGHT NOT ONLY EXCUSE ME CAN
GET MY. CLEANING UP THE
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR WILL NOT
ONLY HELP OUR MOST
DISADVANTAGED BUT ALSO BRING
ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE. TO OUR
ECONOMY. EACH DOLLAR OF PUBLIC
INVESTMENT IN CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION LEVERAGES SIX
DOLLARS AND PRIVATE CAPITAL AND
EVERYONE MILLION DOLLARS
INVESTED BRINGS APPROXIMATELY
SIX TO TEN HIGH WAGE JOBS.
THESE PROJECTS ARE SHOVEL READY
AND ARE WORTHWHILE INVESTMENTS
FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. WE
NEED TO PRIORITIZE THESE
PROGRAMS. WE ALSO NEED TO
PRIORITIZE OUR CURRENT PROGRAMS
LIKE AB SIX SEVENTEEN WHICH I
WAS PROUD TO CO AUTHOR WITH MY
FELLOW COMMITTEE MEMBER
ASSEMBLY MEMBER CRISTINA GARCIA.
THE MAY REVISION PROPOSES A
PRIORITY LIST OF PROGRAMS TO BE
FUNDED FROM THE G. G. R. F.
WITH A NEGLIGIBLE POTENTIAL FOR
ALL OTHER PROGRAMS TO BE FUNDED
PROPORTIONALLY. UNLESS EXCESS
REVENUES ARE REALIZED DURING
THE QUARTERLY OPTIONS. GIVEN
THE TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES THAT
ARE QUALITY HOUSE ALREADY HAD
ON THE HEALTH OF THESE
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES
COMMUNITIES LIKE MINE. AND THE
CORRELATION BETWEEN POOR AIR
QUALITY AND IT INCREASE IN
COVERT DEATHS IT IS ESPECIALLY
CLEAR THAT FUNDING AB SIX
SEVENTEEN AND CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS OR MORE
VITAL THAN EVER. I AM HOWEVER A
HAPPY TO SEE THAT THE REFORMS
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TOXIC
SUBSTANCE CONTROL HAS BEEN KEPT
IN THE MAY REVISE. THESE ARE
REFORMS THAT HAVE LONG BEEN
DISCUSSED AND ARE LONG OVERDUE.
WITH ROBUST AND GET ENGAGEMENT
FROM THE LEGISLATURE IN THE
COMMUNITY. THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL MAY REVISE REFLECTS
NECESSARY STEPS TO ENSURE THE
FISCAL SOLVENCY OF THIS AGENCY.
WHICH IS CRITICAL AS WE LOOK AT
SEVERAL MORE YEARS OF LIMITED
GENERAL FUND RESOURCES.
CONTINUE TO WORK TO CLEAN UP
TOXIC SITES ISN'T JUST GOOD FOR
THE HEALTH OF NEARBY
COMMUNITIES. IT COULD ALSO
PROVIDE MEANINGFUL JOBS IN THE
ECONOMIC RECOVERY. I WILL HAVE
SOME QUESTIONS LATER BUT I
WANTED TO JUST GIVE MY OPENING
STATEMENT AT THIS TIME. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH- JUST TO BE CLEAR
WE'RE GOING TO BE COMPLETING
OUR QUESTIONS BY ELEVEN THIRTY
MINUTES RARE SO- GET YOUR
QUESTIONS READY. ALL RIGHT OF A
LOT OF TIME LEFT- ANYONE ELSE
HAVE QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME. IS
GARCIA. THANK YOUNG TO SOMEONE.
QUESTION FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF.
FIND I APPRECIATE THAT WE ARE
AT OR IF THEY- PRIEST REFER FOR
THE SEE TO. LONG TERM DEAL WITH
STRUCTURAL DEFICIT THAT WE HAVE
A TOUGH GUY AND HAS OR IS
CONTROLLED. FUNDS BOB. IN THE
GRADE STEPS. NOR ANY ROOF THAT
ADVICE. INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE WITHOUT ASK FOR TO
ENSURE THAT WE NOT ONLY CLOSE
THE STRUCTURAL BUT THAT WE HAVE
A DEPARTMENT THAT'S MORE
RESPONSIVE. AND BETTER PROTECT
IN OUR PUBLICS HOW AND SO
WANTED TO KNOW HOW WE JUSTIFY
THE LEVEL INCREASES THAT WE'RE
HAVING WITHOUT THE AN
ADDITIONAL REFORMS TO THE- WHEN
THERE ARE PROPOSALS OUT THERE
THAT HAVE BEEN WORKED ON AND
BETTER FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS.
THANK YOU MISTER MULLIN
QUESTIONS. THE THREE OF US. I
JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS AN ADD
ON TO THE CONCERNS THAT- MY
COLLEAGUES- DISCUSSED ABOUT AB
SIX SEVENTEEN IMPLEMENTATION-
YOU DON'T I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT
THE LACK OF IMPLEMENTATION
FUNDING AND I ALSO OBJECT TO
THE GOVERNOR PROPOSING TO TAKE
POLLUTION CONTROL FUND MONIES
AND- THEM. FROMAIR POLLUTION
PURPOSE THIS WAS A SOURCE
THIRTY MILLION IN AND FUND FOR
A BI SEVEN LAW YEAR. AND A
SHOULD BE A THE. FOR THE
PURPOSE AND THIS YEAR SO WANTED
TO ADD ON A. I DO WANT TO KNOW
WHAT CRITERIA THE
ADMINISTRATION USED TO DECIDE
WHICH AIR QUALITY PROGRAMS TO
PRIORITIZE. GIVEN THE
DISPROPORTIONATE EMISSIONS FROM
THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR IT
REMAINS CONCERNING AS I
MENTIONED IN MY OPENING
COMMENTS THAT LOW CARBON
TRANSPORTATION ISN'T IN THAT
CATEGORY. MS MS RICE I WANT TO-
CLARIFY THAT WE MAY NOT BE
GETTING ANSWERS AT THE HEARING
TODAY THEY MAY COME TO US- IT
THERE THERE MAY BE A AN ANSWER
TO QUESTION SO WE CAN SEE BUT-
YOU MISSED MY OPENING STATEMENT
WHERE I LAY DOWN SOME OF THE
GROUND RULES THAT UNFORTUNATELY
WE'RE OPERATING UNDER TODAY.
AND DOES THAT IS- THE STAFF IS
PRESENTING TO US TODAY. FRANKLY
DOESN'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS
BECAUSE THEY DON'T REPRESENT
THE INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENTS
THERE'S- OVER FORTY
DEPARTMENTS- THAT THAT WE
OVERSEE AND- BUDGET SUB THREE
AND SO THEY COULD ALL BE
AVAILABLE- AND COORDINATED TO.
MAKE IT HAPPEN TODAY BUT THEY
WILL GET BACK TO YOU WITH

DEPRIVE. THAT MS REYES AND
FINISH I JUST WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE. WHEN WE HAD HAND

A TERRIBLE PRECEDENT- THE
INTEREST EARNINGS ARE THE
DIRECT FRUITS OF. THE FUN AND I
THINK IT IS IF NOT EXPRESSLY-
SOMETHING THAT THAT THAT THAT
THE ENTRY SHOULD BE USED FOR
ITS CERTAINLY HAS IMPLIED. WITH
THE WAY THAT IT IS A DIRECT

ABOUT THE RATIONALE BEHIND THE-
OF THE BUDGET PROPOSAL. AND IN
ADDITION THE FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS. OF THAT IS PROPOSED
FOR ACQUISITION OF A NEW PARK
THIS REMAINS SO. SOMETHING
THAT- I FIND A BIT TROUBLING
BECAUSE THE- INFORMATION ABOUT
WHAT THAT MONEY WILL BE USED
FOR OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT
IT'S- GENERICALLY ACQUISITION
OF A PARK- IS. BASICALLY
NONEXISTENT- THIS IS A-
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE IT IS OUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO LOOK AT THESE
PROPOSED ALLOCATIONS AND
UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE FOR AND
WHAT THEY'RE ABOUT I WITHOUT
HAVING THE LEAST INFORMATION
ABOUT- WHERE THIS PARK IS GOING
TO BE WHAT THE PLAN FOR THE
PARK IS WHAT THE TOTAL
ACQUISITION COST IS GOING TO
BE- THERE ARE SO MANY
QUESTIONS- WE MIGHT ASK AND WE
HAVE LITERALLY- ZERO
INFORMATION. OTHER THAN THAT
EVERYBODY WANTS NEW PARKS SO I
DON'T QUESTION THE- THE INTENT
BEHIND THE- OF THIS A BUDGET
ALLOCATION BUT I DO THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE MORE
INFORMATION AND HOPEFULLY THAT
WILL BE FORTHCOMING AND I'M-
WITH TO. MAKE THAT REQUEST ON
THE PART OF THE ENTIRE
COMMITTEE. OF THAT SAID IF
THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THANK YOU
