WOULD PERMIT THE CITY OF
ALHAMBRA NDL HAMMER UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICT TO CONDUCT A
SPECIAL ELECTION IN ORDER TO
PROCEED WITH ITS TRANSITION
FROM AT LARGE TO BY TRUSTEE
AREA ELECTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION IN ORDER
TO COMPLY WITH THE CALIFORNIA
VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF TWO
THOUSAND AND ONE. CV OUR EIGHT
DURING THE NOVEMBER THIRD
TWENTY TWENTY GENERAL ELECTION
MEASURE G. WHICH APPEAR ON THE
BALLOT SOUGHT TO REMOVE FROM
THE CITY CHARTER ALL REFERENCES
TO THE ALHAMBRA UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT. HOWEVER MEASURE G.
ONLY APPEAR ON THE BALLOT SO
VOTERS RESIDING IN THE ITY OF
ALHAMBRA AND NOT ON THE BALLOT
SO VOTERS IN ALHAMBRA UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL ALSO
RECITE OUTSIDE OF CITY OF THE
CITY BOUNDARIES. NOW UNDER
EXISTING LAW CHARTER AMENDMENT
FOR CITY MUST BE SUBMITTED TO
VOTERS AT AN ESTABLISHED
STATEWIDE GENERAL ELECTION. SO
CONSEQUENTLY THE CITY OF
ALHAMBRA IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
ARE PROHIBITED FROM CONDUCTING
A SPECIAL ELECTION TO AMEND THE
CHARTER PRIOR TO THE NEXT
STATEWIDE ELECTION ON NOVEMBER
THE EIGHT TWENTY TWENTY TWO.
THEREFORE WE NEED TO CREATE A
SPECIAL EXCEPTION IN THE
GOVERNMENT CODE TO PERMIT THE
CITY OF ALHAMBRA. AND THE
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT TO
CONDUCT A SPECIAL ELECTION
BEFORE THE NEXT STATEWIDE
GENERAL ELECTION. TO ACHIEVE
THIS I RECENTLY SUBMITTED AN
AMENDMENT FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION TO ADDED URGENCY
COST TO THIS VERY IMPORTANT
DISTRICT BILL. WITH THAT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR IDOL.
THANK YOU. OKAY WE HAVE A
MOTION AND A SECOND. I BELIEVE
WE HAVE A TWO WITNESSES AND
MODERATOR COULD YOU STILL COULD
YOU ALLOW A- MISS SARAH
BERLINSKI. OR CHRISTOPHER
BLINDER OPEN. FOR CHRISTOPHER

APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
ADDRESS THE COMMITTEE ABOUT THE
IMPORTANCE OF AB FIFTEEN FORTY
SIX AND I WANT TO THANK
ASSEMBLY MEMBER CHILD FOR
OFFERING AS WELL AS THE
ALHAMBRA UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT. AND CITY OF ALHAMBRA
FOR CO SPONSORING THE BILL WITH
LOS ANGELES COUNTY. EIGHTY
FIFTEEN FORTY SIX SUPPORT THE
EFFORT AND INTENT OF THE
ALHAMBRA UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT TO ESTABLISH DISTRICT
BASED ELECTION BOARD OF
TRUSTEES A LINE TO THE FAIR AND
DISTRIBUTED REPRESENTATION
PROVISIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA
VOTING RIGHTS ACT. AB FIFTEEN
FORTY SIX ALSO ADDRESSES THE
UNIQUE SITUATION WHERE OUTDATED
REFERENCES IN THE CITY OF
ALHAMBRA CHARTER RELATED TO
ELECTION FOR THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT CONFLICT WITH THE
DISTRICT EFFORTS TO ADOPT THE
TRUSTEE AREA ELECTION MODEL. TO
ADDRESS ISSUE- AS THE AUTHORS
STATED THE CITY PLATE THE
MEASURE ON THE BALLOT IN TWENTY
TWENTY TO REMOVE THE OUTDATED
LANGUAGE AND REFERENCES TO THE
DISTRICT AND THE CHARTER.
UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO AN ERROR
IN THE INTERPRETATION OF THE
CITY'S ELECTION REVOLUTION THAT
MEASURE ONLY APPEARED ON
BALLOTS FOR VOTERS WITHIN THE
CITY OF ALHAMBRA. AND DID NOT
APPEAR ON BALLOTS FOR VOTERS IN
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT RESIDE
OUTSIDE THE CITY'S BOUNDARIES.
THEREFORE THE MEASURE HAD TO BE
PLACED ON THE BALLOT AGAIN IN
THE FUTURE ELECTION. WAITING
UNTIL THE TWENTY TWENTY TO
STATE GENERAL ELECTION WOULD
DELAY THE DISTRICT EFFORT TO
ESTABLISH TRUST THE AREAS THAT
ALIGN THEIR ELECTIONS. WITH THE
CALIFORNIA VOTING RIGHTS ACT
PRIOR TO THE NEXT ELECTION OF
THE GOVERNING BOARD MEMBERS-
EIGHTY FOUR FIFTEEN FORTY SIX.
CREATE A SPECIAL EXEMPTION THAT
WOULD ALLOW THE DISTRICT TO
PLACE THE MEASURE ON THE
BALLOT. AT ANY ELECTION
IDENTIFIED IN THE ELECTION
CODE. BASED ON THE UNIQUE
CIRCUMSTANCES THAN THE
LEGISLATIVE INTENT OF THE
CALIFORNIA VOTING RIGHTS ACT TO
ADVANCE THEIR AND DISTRIBUTED
REPRESENTATION ON LOCAL
GOVERNING BOARDS. THE COUNTY OF
LOS ANGELES RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR I. BOATS. THANK YOU.

AREA THE STEM. GINGER
COMPLIANCE WITH THE CALIFORNIA
VOTING RIGHTS ACT. IN NOVEMBER

PURPOSE OF THIS ACTION WHAT THE
DECOUPLE THE DISTRICT FROM THE
CITY CHARTER TO ALLOW THE
DOCTOR TO CONTINUE WITH ITS
TRANSITION FROM AT LARGE TO BUY
TURKEY AREA ELECTIONS. IN TIME
FOR THE NEXT BOARD OF
EDUCATIONAL ACTION IN NOVEMBER
TWENTY TWENTY TWO.
UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO A COUNTY
CLERICAL ERROR THE BALLOT
MEASURE WAS ONLY AVAILABLE TO
CITY RESIDENTS AND NOT ALL
DISTRICT RESIDENTS AS REQUIRED.
UNDER THE CURRENT LAW THE
CHARTER COULD NOT BE AMENDED IN
TIME FOR THE DISTRICT TO
COMPLETE ITS TRANSITION AND
HOLD IT FIRST TRUST THE AREA
ELECTIONS BY NOVEMBER TWENTY
TWENTY TWO. RESULTING IN
FURTHER DELAY UNTIL THE
DISTRICT DESIRED HE VERY
COMPLIANT ELECTION SYSTEM COULD
BE IMPLEMENTED. I ADOPTION OF

IDENTICAL MEASURE ON THE BALLOT
A STUDENT THIS NOVEMBER AND IF

COLLEAGUES IN SURVIVES CHAIR
COULD SEE THIS AFTERNOON WHEN I
THINK OF THE COMMITTEE STAFF
FOR THEIR CONSIDERATION
ENGAGEMENT ON ON THIS BILL AND
I'VE ACCEPTED- OR DO ACCEPT ALL
THE PROPOSED CLARIFYING
AMENDMENTS- AND SO AS WE ALL
KNOW UNFORTUNATELY I. DID TOO
WELL IS THAT- THE MANY FACTORS
THAT- HAVE CONTRIBUTED AND-
THEY CONTINUE TO LOOK. AT QUé
EXCUSE ME CONTRIBUTED TO
CALIFORNIA HOUSING CRISIS- THE
YOU KNOW THE IMBALANCE BETWEEN
THE AVAILABLE SUPPLY OF
AFFORDABLE HOMES TO GROWING
HIGH DEMAND OF HOUSING- IT HAS
LED TO EXCESSIVE RENT BURDENS
HOUSING INSTABILITY AND
INCREASING HOMELESSNESS. ACROSS
CALIFORNIA SO THE REALITY IN
MOST CITIES AND TOWNS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA AS WE HAVE LOCAL
PLANNING. AND REGULATORY
SYSTEMS THAT DIRECTLY AND
INDIRECTLY RESTRICT HOUSING.
PRODUCTION AND DO SO IN MANY
WAYS WE SEE REQUIRING PARKING
SPACE MINIMUMS IMPOSING- SOME
BUILDING HEIGHT LIMITS HAVE
BEEN LINKED THE SOME PERMITTING
AND ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. VIEW-
SOME PROCESSES. AND HAVING VERY
RIGID ZONING AND DENSITY AND
YOU SPACE PLANNING SYSTEMS.
ACCORDING TO REPORTS PUBLISHED
BY THE L. A. O. LOCAL ANTI
GROWTH POLICIES AND LOCAL
BALLOT MEASURES HERE IN
CALIFORNIA ACROSS OUR STATE.
HAVE EXPLICITLY AIMED TO LIMIT
HOUSING GROWTH HISTORICALLY.
AND SO AS A STATE OFFICIALS AND
THIS LEGISLATURE OVER THE LAST
FEW YEARS. HAVE ATTEMPTED TO DO
MORE IN ADDRESSING CALIFORNIA'S
HOUSING CRISIS THE COMMITTEE
BILL ANALYSIS NOTED. VERY
ACCURATELY THAT WHILE CERTAIN
LOCAL VOTER APPROVED MEASURES
MAY NOT HAVE- CONFLICTED WITH
STATE HOUSING LAW AT THE TIME
OF THEIR ADOPTION. I STATE
HOUSING LAW EVOLVES AND HAS
EVOLVED AND WILL CONTINUE ABLE.
EVOLVE THESE INITIATIVES MAY
CREATE A CONFLICT THAT RENDERS
IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE LOCAL-
THE GOVERNING BODY TO COMPLY
WITH LOCAL MEASURES AND STATE
HOUSING LAW. AND SO CLEARLY
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS- CITY
COUNCIL'S BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
THERE IN A VERY CHALLENGING
SITUATION HAVING TO BALANCE
LOCAL PLANNING AND REGULATORY
HOUSING MEASURES. AND SYSTEMS
AND WORKING TO COMPLY WITH
EVOLVING STATE HOUSING LAW. AND
SO ENFORCEMENT POWERS GRANTED
TO THE DEPARTMENT OF H. C. D.
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT. THEY ARE CHARGED
WITH THE AUTHORITY TO REVIEW
LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMPLIANCE
WITH HOUSING LAWS. AND
DETERMINE THAT LOCAL HOUSING
ELEMENTS ARE IN COMPLIANCE FOR
MEETING STATE HOUSING GOALS AND
TARGETS NOW SUBSEQUENT ISSUES.
OF NONCOMPLIANCE BY A LOCAL
GOVERNMENT WITH REGARDS TO
STATE HOUSING LAWS AND HOUSING
ELEMENTS. ARE TO BE REFERRED TO
THE SATE ATTORNEY GENERAL
COULD RESULT IN FEES PENALTIES
AND OTHER CONSEQUENCES. AND SO
THIS LEGISLATION. ASSEMBLY BILL
ONE THREE TWO TWO. IT'S A
PROCESS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
AND OPTIONAL PROCESS AS A TOOL.
FOR ANY CITY OR COUNTY TO SEEK
JUDICIAL VALIDATION THAT A
LOCAL HOUSING OR GROWTH MEASURE
IS IN CONFLICT WITH STATE
HOUSING LAW. SO THIS OPTION
WOULD RESULT IN AN EXPEDITED
JUDICIAL REVIEW OR A JUDICIAL
RULING ON THIS ISSUE OR THIS
QUESTION OF STATE AND LOCAL
PREEMPTION RELATED HOUSING
LAWS. IT WOULD PROVIDE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS WITH IT WOULD YOU
KNOW WITH WITH WITH THIS OPTION
IT WITH WITH LEGAL CERTAINTY.
ABOUT THEIR HOUSING OBLIGATIONS
AND REQUIREMENTS IT'S A WITH ME
TO TESTIFY BY PHONE IS SERRA.

FOCUSED ON CREATING A
SUSTAINABLE EQUITABLE AND
PROSPEROUS REGION AND STATE.
BRAD TO SPONSOR AB THIRTEEN
TWENTY TWO THE HOUSING ELEMENT
LOCAL OPTIONS ACT. I'D LIKE TO
FOCUS MY COMMENTS ON WHY THIS
BILL IS NEEDED. I LIVE IN A
SMALL TOWN CALLED PIEDMONT.
WHICH IS AN INCORPORATED CITY
WITHIN THE CITY OF OAKLAND.
HE'S NOT AS WEALTHY AND 70%
WHITE. IT WAS ONCE KNOWN AS THE
CITY OF MILLIONAIRES. THE
AVERAGE HOME PRICES ALMOST TWO
POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS. IN
THE WAKE OF THE MURDER OF
GEORGE FLOYD MANY OF THAT COULD
NOT JUST STAND BY AND ALLOW
BUSINESS AS USUAL. WE FORMED A
VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION CALLED
THE PIEDMONT RACIAL EQUITY
CAMPAIGNER PRAC. CORRECT WORK
IS FOCUSED ON EDUCATION
POLICING DIVERSIFYING CITY
LEADERSHIP AND HOUSING. SHE AND
HER HUSBAND WORKS WE QUICKLY
LEARNED THAT THE CITY PIEDMONT
HAS WITHIN ITS CITY CHARTER
REQUIREMENT DATING BACK NEARLY
A HUNDRED YEARS THAT ANY DINING
CHANGES NEED TO BE APPROVED BY
VOTERS. WE ALSO LEARNED THAT
PIEDMONT IS LIKELY TO BE
ALLOCATED ALMOST SIX HUNDRED
UNITS OF HOUSING TO PLAN FOR AS
PART OF ITS REGIONAL HOUSING
NEEDS ALLOCATION INCLUDING A
HUNDRED SIXTY SIX UNITS ARE
VERY LOW INCOME HOUSING.
THERE'S NO WAY FOR PIEDMONT TO
ACCOMMODATE THREE ALLOCATION.
WITH ITS CURRENT CHARTER
RESTRICTIONS. WE ALSO LEARNED
THAT THERE ARE OTHER
JURISDICTIONS AROUND THE STATE
THAT SHARE THE CHALLENGE AS SO
CALLED ENTRENCH CONSTRAINS.
HE'S GONNA TRANSFER ENCOUNTERED
STATE HOUSING LARA AND SHRINE
RACIAL SEGREGATION. THE USER
NOT BY ACCIDENT BUT BY DESIGN.
INTRANSITIVE STRAIGHT CODIFIED
EXCLUSIONARY ZONING FOR
APARTMENT BUILDINGS IN SMALLER
HOMES ARE RENDERED ILLEGAL.
EXCLUSIONARY ZONING RUNS
COUNTER TO THE FAIR HOUSING
GOAL OF RACIAL AND ECONOMIC
INTEGRATION. MANY CITIES OF
THOSE WHICH STATED RELYING ON
TO ACCOMMODATE MORE HOUSING OF
DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEVELS OF
AFFORDABILITY IN ORDER TO
FURTHER IF THERE HAVE BEEN
CALLS. BUT THE CITY THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO BE ABLE TO FURTHER
FAIR HOUSING WITHOUT AB
THIRTEEN TWENTY TWO. FINALLY
I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE
OF LOCAL CONTROL. WE SEE THIS
MEASURE AS RESTORE LOCAL
CONTROL AT THE COMMONLY WORK IN
THE VAST MAJORITY OF
JURISDICTIONS IN THE STATE. AND
THAT RESTORED LAND USE
DECISIONS TO LOCALLY ELECTED
BODIES WHO NEED TO USE THEIR
GOOD JUDGMENT AND DISCRETION
ABOUT BALANCING THE DESIRES OF
SOME NEIGHBORS WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF STATE LAW. WE
WOULD LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THIS TO
IT'S COMPLETELY OPTIONAL FOR
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS. WE THINK
THAT THIS MEASURE CREATES MORE
LOCAL CONTROL IN THE CURRENT
SITUATION. AND PROVIDE THE
NECESSARY TOOLS SO THAT CITIES
DON'T FIND THEMSELVES STUCK
BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD
PLACE. IF THEY TRY TO MEET
THEIR REQUIREMENTS. THANK YOU
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION MY
COMMENTS WE URGE YOU TO SUPPORT
AB THIRTEEN TWENTY TWO AND MOVE
IT FORWARD. THANK YOU MS
KARLINSKY NOW- CHRISTOPHER.
ELMENDORF IF YOU'RE ONLINE. I
AM YES CAN YOU HEAR ME YES WE
CAN PLEASE PROCEED. THANK YOU
BYE SURE LACKEY MEMBERS I'M
CHRIS ON THE DOOR I'M A
PROFESSOR OF LAW AT UC DAVIS
AND MY REMARKS THIS AFTERNOON
WILL PROVIDE LEGAL CONTEXT WITH
THE BILL. AB THIRTEEN TWENTY
TWO USERS A WELL ESTABLISHED
LEGAL MECHANISM TO HELP CITIES
AVOID THE TRAIN BACK THERE WILL
OTHERWISE RESULT CALIFORNIA'S
HOUSING CLIMATE ADAPTATION
NEEDS CRASH INTO VOTER ADOPTED
BIRTH CONTROL AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL. THIS LEGAL BACK IS
CALLED VALIDATION. IT WAS
ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED THE CITY'S
COULD PROVIDE ASSURANCES TO
MUNICIPAL BOND INVESTORS. AFTER
CITY COUNCIL PASSES A
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE
ISSUANCE OF DEBT. AS A BRIEF
WINDOW OF TIME IN WHICH ANY
INTERESTED PERSON CAN SHOW UP
IN COURT TO CONTEST OR TO
CONFIRM THE VALIDITY OF THE
RESOLUTION. COURTS ARE REQUIRED
TO SCHEDULE VALIDATION ACTION
HEAD OF OTHER CIVIL MATTERS. AB
THIRTEEN TWENTY TWO BUT USE
THIS MECHANISM TO CONFIRM THE
VALIDITY OF A RESOLUTION BUT
ACKNOWLEDGES. THAT A PROVISION
OF A CITY CHARTER OR PROVISION
ADOPTED BY THE VOTERS HAS BEEN
PREEMPTED BY STATE HOUSING LAW.
IMPORTANTLY AB THIRTEEN TWENTY
TWO DOES NOT ITSELF PREEMPTS
ANY LOCAL MEASURES THAT ARE NOT
NOW PREEMPTED. NOR DOES IT
CHANGE THE LEGAL STANDARD FOR
PREEMPTION. IT SIMPLY CREATE
THE PROCEDURAL FRAMEWORK
THROUGH WHICH CITIES MAINTAIN
BEAGLE CERTAINTY AT LOW RISK
ABOUT THEIR OBLIGATIONS.
WITHOUT THIS FRAMEWORK THREE
DAYS THE NORMAL STRESS. THE
CITY DESPITE THE HONOR VOTER
ADOPTED GROWTH CONTROL
EXPENSIVE STATE LAW THE
RECORDING HOUSING ELEMENT THE
CERTIFIED RESULTING IN
PROTRACTED LITIGATION AND IF
THE CITY LOSES LOTS OF LOCAL
CONTROL OVER MAX. CONVERSELY
THE CITY NOTED THAT IT WILL NOT
HONOR VOTER ADOPT RESTRICTIONS
BECAUSE IT THINK THEY'RE
PREEMPTED THE CITY'S LIKELY
FACE LAWSUITS FROM LOCAL ANTI
DEVELOPMENT GROUPS. THE CITY
THEN MOVE IN COURT IT WILL HAVE.
TO PAY THE PREVAILING PARTY'S
ATTORNEYS THE- UNDER HUNDRED
EIGHTY THIRTEEN TWENTY TWO.
CITIZENDIUM TO USE THE VALIDATE
MECHANISM TO GET A SPEEDY
RESOLUTION OF A LEGAL QUESTION.
AND WITHOUT BEING MADE TO PAY
FOR ANYONE ELSE LAWYERS. BEFORE
CLOSING I WOULD LIKE TO
EMPHASIZE THIS BILL HAS BEEN A
REAL GROUP THAT WORKS. SPUR

CALLS FOR A OPPOSITION. GIVEN

TWENTY TWO YOU MAY PRESS ONE
AND THEN ZERO. IN OPPOSITION OF
AB THIRTEEN TWENTY TWO YOU MAY
PRESS ONE AND THEN ZERO. ANDWE
HAVE NO OPPOSITION IN QUEUE AT
THIS TIME. OKAY WE'LL BRING IT
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS YES MISS
PERHAPS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH OF
A PERSON IN THIS BILL- MY CITY
IS ONE OF THE CITIES THAT HAS A
BALLOT INITIATIVE THAT PASSED
IN TWENTY THIRTEEN- AND WHEN I
READ THIS BILL- I HAD VERY
MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT IT BECAUSE
ONE I FEEL- THAT IN THIS
COUNTRY. A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE
IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL
INDICATIONS WE HAVE ABOUT THE
WILL OF THE PEOPLE AND ELECTED
OFFICIALS HAVE THE OBLIGATION
TO REPRESENT THAT WILL OF THE
PEOPLE. ON THE OTHER HAND MY
CITY HAS STRUGGLED FOR YEARS.
ON THE ISSUE OF DOES OUR BALLOT
IT IT DOES OUR PROP PROP A
CONFLICT WITH STATE LAW HCD
SAYS IT DOES. WE SAID IT
DOESN'T WE GO BACK AND FORTH
AND BACK AND FORTH BACK AND
FORTH. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR
FIVE YEARS NOW. SO THE GOOD
THING ABOUT THIS BILL THAT
WOULD GIVE A QUICKER
RESOLUTION. THE PROBLEM THAT I
SEE WITH THIS BUT I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'RE ABLE TO ADDRESS THIS.
IS YOUR REQUIRING A LOCAL
COUNCIL TO MAKE AN AFFIRMATION
THAT THE BALLOT INITIATIVE
VIOLATE STATE LAW. MANY SMALLER
CITIES ARE NOT TO BE IN THE
POSITION TO MAKE THAT
AFFIRMATION IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE
TO HIRE VERY EXPENSIVE LAWYERS.
INTO IF THEY'RE UP HOLDING THE
WILL OF THE PEOPLE THEN THE
FINDING THAT. THE WILL OF THE
PEOPLE IS IN VIOLATION OF STATE
LAW IS IN CONFLICT WITH THEIR
DUTY AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL TO
UPHOLD THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT A
BETTER. RESOLUTION OF THIS IS
THAT THE COUNCIL CAN PASS A
RESOLUTION THAT SAYS IT'S A
VIOLATION AND- IT'S IN CONFLICT
WITH STATE LAW. OR NOT IN
CONFLICT WITH STATE LAW.
BECAUSE REALLY CITIES DON'T
HAVE THE ABILITY TO DETERMINE
THE CONFLICT IT'S YOU KNOW IN
STATE LAW. SO IT WOULD BE
BETTER I MEAN THE BEST
SITUATION WOULD BE IS IF. THERE
COULD BE SOMETHING WHERE THE
CITY SAYS I'M NOT SURE IF THIS
IS A VIOLATION OF STATE LAW.
COULD THE COURTS CLARIFIED AND
THERE COULD BE AN EXPEDITED
CLARIFICATION BECAUSE THEN THAT
PUTS THE COUNCIL IN A POSITION
WHERE GETS CLARIFIED IN THE
COURT. AND THE COUNCIL CAN
STILL UPHOLD THE WILL OF THE
PEOPLE AT THE SAME TIME GET THE
CLARIFICATION SO THERE'S NOT I
MEAN I CAN'T I CAN'T TELL YOU
THE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF
LEGAL FEES MY CITY IS GOING
THROUGH. TRYING TO GET THIS
CLARIFIED AND STILL THERE'S NO
JUDICIAL RULING ON WHETHER OR
NOT PROP THEY IS OR IS NOT IN
VIOLATION OF STATE LAW IN MY
CITY. SO ON THE ONE HAND I
WOULD LOVE TO SUPPORT THIS BUT
I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE
BECAUSE IT'SAN OPTIMIZER. I
THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY
RARE CASE THAT A COUNCIL SAY.
THE WILL OF MY PEOPLE VIOLATE
STATE LAW THAT'S LIKE US.
STRANGE THING TO DO AND I'M
HOPE THAT HE WOULD BE WILLING
TO TAKE. A CONSIDER SOME
AMENDMENTS IN THE FUTURE- ALONG
THOSE LINES. YES I APPRECIATE
THOSE COMMENTS AND YOU KNOW- TO
BE QUITE HONEST WITH YOU I'VE
FOUND OUT. RELATIVELY RECENTLY
THAT I'D BE PRESENTING THIS
BILL TODAY AND THAT'S NOT MY
BILL- AND SO I. BUT YEAH YOU
KNOW I BELIEVE IN THE POLICY
AND SOON I'M GOING TO YOU KNOW
WORK WITH ALL STAKEHOLDERS THAT
I HAVE YET TO ENGAGE WITH AS OF
TODAY IS NOW JUST- HAVE BEEN
PREPARING ALL MORNING. BUT E.
AND BUT I THINK IT YOU KNOW I
THINK YOU BRING UP IN IT YOU
KNOW IMPORTANT- POINTS IT IT'S
A GOOD QUESTION- YEAH I THINK
WHEN I LOOK AT. THIS THIS IS A
BILL- CERTAINLY IT REQUIRES
NOTHING BECAUSE AS YOU
MENTIONED IT'S OFTEN IT'S- YOU
KNOW IT'S AN OPTION I THINK
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE PROCESS.
AS IT'S STRUCTURED. AS PROPOSED
IN THE BILL AS YOU KNOW- IF YOU
TRIGGER- YOU KNOW WHAT ADOPTION
HORIZON- OF- A RESOLUTION AS AS
AS AS STIPULATED REQUIRING A
PUBLIC HEARING A- THE YELP. A
PUBLIC HEARING TO HAVE
DISCUSSION TO HAVE THAT PUBLIC.
INPUT IS A CRITICAL STEP YOU
KNOW OBVIOUSLY FOR YOU KNOW AT
I MYSELF AM SPENT EIGHT YEARS
AT THE LOCAL LEVEL THE KINDS OF
VISOR- YOU KNOW ITS- YOU KNOW
VERY IMPORTANT BUT- YOU KNOW
HOW YOU KNOW I'VE- YOU HAVE MY
COMMITMENT TO WORK WITH THE
STAKEHOLDERS AND SPONSORS- TO
ADDRESS YOUR CONCERNS- AND- YOU
KNOW CERTAINLY. BE HAPPY TO
FOLLOW UP WITH YOU THANK YOU SO
I WON'T BE SUPPORTING TODAY BUT
I DO HOPE THAT WE CAN WORK
TOGETHER. AND I CAN SUPPORT ON
THE FOR THE FUTURE. OKAY DO WE
HAVE ANY OTHE. OR FROM
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. SAYING NINE
ONE YOU'RE WELCOME TO CLOSE. I

K. WHICH TO WORK OKAY ASSEMBLY
MEMBER FRIEDMAN. ASSEMBLY BILL
FORTINO. ONE THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR AND MEMBERS ARE FIRST I'D
LIKE TO THINK- THE CHAIR IN THE
COMMITTEE FOR ALL OF THEIR WORK
ON THE BILL I'M HAPPY TO ACCEPT
THE AMENDMENTS OUTLINE OF THE
ANALYSIS IN THE BOTTOM OF PAGE
SIX REGARDING EASY PARKING AND
PARKING SPACES FOR PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES I WANT TO TALK FOR
A SECOND ABOUT CALIFORNIA'S
VALUES HAS REFLECTED ITS
POLICIES. ACROSS THE UNITED
STATES THERE'S AN AVERAGE OF
ONE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET
PROVIDED PER CAR BUT ONLY EIGHT
HUNDRED SQUARE FEET PROVIDED
PER PERSON PER HOUSING WE
DEDICATE MORE LAND FOR CARS
THAN WE DO FOR HUMAN BEINGS IN
THE UNITED STATES NOT L. A.
COUNTY PARKING MANDATES HAVE
LED TO AN ASTONISHING TWO
HUNDRED SQUARE MILES JUST OF
PARKING. THAT'S FOUR TIMES AS
MUCH LAND AS IN THE ENTIRE CITY
OF SAN FRANCISCO. AND YET A
STUDY FROM THE CITY OF SAN
DIEGO OF TWENTY ONE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS FROM THE
39% OF PARKING THERE OVER FOUR
HUNDRED SPACES RUN USED. ACOSTA
BETWEEN TWELVE AND THIRTY
MILLION DOLLARS. I CAN TELL YOU
ANECDOTALLY. FROM MY OWN
EXPERIENCE MY DISTRICT OFFICE
AND BURBANK. SHE HAS A PARKING
GARAGE IN. A PARKING STRUCTURE
THAT EVEN BEFORE COLLUDED WAS
MAYBE 15% OF CAPACITY ON EVERY
GIVEN DAY AND YET. THE SAME
CITY. RIGHT WHAT WITH WHERE THE
AREAS RIGHT NEXT TO A METROLINK
STATION. REQUIRES A LOT OF
PARKING BE BUILT FOR EVERY
SINGLE DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT EVER
TAKING STOCK OF HOW MUCH
PARKING IS AVAILABLE AND HOW
IT'S BEING USED. ONLY TALK FOR
A SECOND ABOUT THE CITY OF
BUFFALO NEW YORK. THAT IN TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN REMOVE
PARKING RESTRICTIONS FROM THEIR
ENTIRE CITY. A NEW REPORT CAME
OUT THAT SHOWED. THAT WHAT
HAPPENED WAS DEVELOPERS WHO
NEED A PARKING STILL PROVIDED
PARKING BUT A LOT OF DEVELOPERS
BUILD SHARED PARKING
PARTICULARLY COMMERCIAL
DEVELOPERS. THEY ALSO FOUND
THAT A LOT HUNDREDS AND
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF NEW
HOUSING UNITS WERE PRODUCED.
PARTICULARLY FOR STUDENTS AND
LOW INCOME PEOPLE WITH LESS
PARKING THAT WOULD HAVE
OTHERWISE BEEN. REQUIRED AND
YET WITH ENOUGH PARKING TO
PROVIDE FOR THOSE RESIDENTS. SO
WHAT THIS BILL DOES IS THAT
WITH IN AREAS THAT ARE IN HIGH
QUALITY TRANSIT DISTRICTS. IT
WOULD SAY THAT IT'S UP TO
DEVELOPERS TO RIGHT SIZE THE
AMOUNT OF PARKING THAT THEY
PROVIDE FOR THEIR DEVELOPMENT.
THAT CITIES CAN NO LONGER
ARBITRARILY- AND UNEVENLY
DECLARE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
PARKING FOR THOSE. FOR THOSE-
NEW DEVELOPMENTS. A CROSS
CALIFORNIA IT RANGES FROM A
CITIES THAT WILL REQUIRE WATER
ONE AND A HALF SPACES PER
HOUSING UNIT UP TO TWO AND A
HALF SPACES PER HOUSING UNIT
REGARDLESS. OF THE TYPE OF
DEVELOPMENT IT IS. OF THIS IS A
ONE SIZE FITS ALL MANDATE
ACROSS THE STATE THAT IS NOT
SERVED AS TO WHAT IS A DONE
WHAT IS DONE AND IS IT'S
CREATED OF A SITUATION WHERE
IT'S HARD TO BUILD HOUSING IN A
LOT OF OUR AREAS BECAUSE THE
PARKING CAN RANGE FROM THIRTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER SPACE
UP TO I'VE SEEN EIGHTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS PER FACE RACE FOR SOME
SUBTERRANEAN PARKING WHICH
MEANS THAT PROJECTS THAT ARE
MAYBE ON THE BUBBLE THAT ARE
TRYING TO CREATE HOUSING FOR
THE MISSING MIDDLE DON'T
COUNCIL AND THE DEVELOPERS JUST
WALK AWAY. SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO
ADD ONE UNIT LET'S SAY- LET'S
LEGAL. IN A MULTI FAMILY AREA
OFTEN CAN'T DO THAT BECAUSE OF
SPACE CONSTRAINTS. EVEN IF
THERE IS ALREADY SOME PARKING
ON THE WATER ENOUGH FOR THOSE
FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS. THE
POLICY ALSO ENCOURAGES A CAR
CENTRIC APPROACH THAT MAKES
WALKABLE BIKEABLE COMMUNITIES
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. BECAUSE ALL
THAT PARKING SPREADS.
DEVELOPMENTS APART TO WHERE YOU
CAN'T WALK EASILY FROM ONE TO
THE NEXT. THINK ABOUT OLD
DOWNTOWNS AND HOW WONDERFUL IT
IS TO STROLL DOWN MAIN STREET.
IMAGINE TODAY ALL OF THOSE SAME
LITTLE SHOPS ALL HAVING TO
PROVIDE FIBRE TEN SPACES ON
THEIR OWN SITES YOU CAN'T BUILD
THOSE AREAS. AND YET CITIES ARE
FULLY CAPABLE OF CREATING
BETTER TRANSIT FOR PEOPLE. AND
SHARED PARKING IF THEY NEED TO.
MANY DOWNTOWNS HAVE MUNICIPAL
STRUCTURES BUT TAKE THE BURDEN
OFF OF. THE INDIVIDUAL
BUSINESSES SO CITIES HAVE A LOT
OF FLEXIBILITY. BUT THERE'S NO
REASON FOR THEM. TO CREATE GOOD
TRANSIT. IF THEY'RE JUST HAVING
EVERYBODY BRING THE CARS AND-
WHAT THAT DOES IS IT INCREASES
CONGESTION INCREASES BAD HEALTH
EFFECTS. IS A TERRIBLE USE OF
LAND. AND THIS BILL ONLY
AFFECTS AREAS THAT ARE ALREADY
CONSIDERED HIGH QUALITY TRANSIT
AND I WOULD ARGUE THAT IF YOU
FEEL THAT YOUR HIGH QUALITY
TRANCE IT'S ENOUGH.
THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO CREATE
THE POLITICAL WILL TO CREATE
THAT TRANSIT. BECAUSE OTHERWISE
IF YOU KEEP INVITING MORE MORE
CARS IN. IT'S VERY EASY TO SAY
HEY WE'VE GOT ALL THE PARKING
WE'VE GOT ALL THE CARS WE DON'T
NEED TO DO ANYMORE. IT'S TIME
TO END THAT MADNESS. TO REFLECT
OUR VALUES TO PUT THE FOCUS
BACK ON HUMAN BEINGS AND
INDIVIDUALS AND HOUSING UNITS.
AND THIS IS A SENSIBLE MEASURE.
THAT IS A LONG TIME IN COMING
IN SEVERAL CITIES IN CALIFORNIA
HAVE ALREADY MOVED. TO THIS
APPROACH AS YOU WILL HEAR FROM
ONE OF OUR WITNESSES. AND I
WITHOUT AYE URGENT AYE VOTE.
TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT THIS
MORNING ARE JEFF AND YOU ENDED
MAYOR OF BERKELEY. AND MEET A
KING THE SENIOR PRICE AS A
PRESIDENT OF RELATED CALIFORNIA
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. BONTA
MODERATOR COOLEY PLEASE SURE
FROM. JESSE THE MEREB.
AFTERNOON CHAIR COMMITTEE
MEMBERS CAN YOU HEAR ME GO
SOMEWHERE YES. GOOD AFTERNOON
AS THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF
BERKLEY I AM PLEASED TO SUPPORT
AB FORTINO ONE NINETY THIS BILL
IS AN IMPORTANT STEP TO PROMOTE
SUSTAINABLE GROWTH TO MAKE
HOUSING MOREAFFORDABLE. WE
KNOW THAT CALIFORNIA NEEDS TO
REDUCE VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED
BY 15% IN ORDER TO MEET IT'S SB
THIRTY TWO CLIMATE GOALS EVEN
IN A SCENARIO WITH FULL VEHICLE
ELECTRIFICATION. STUDIES IN
MULTIPLE CITIES INCLUDING
BERKELEY SHOW THAT MANDATORY
PARKING REQUIREMENTS HAVE LED
TO AN OVERSUPPLY PARKING BY
ELIMINATING PARKING MINIMUMS
CITIES CAN REDUCE ACCESS
PARKING AND ENCOURAGE THE
RESIDENTS TO TAKE MORE
SUSTAINABLE MODES OF
TRANSPORTATION THAT'S REDUCING
VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED AND IT
BE ICAL MISSIONS. FIGHTING
CLIMATE CHANGE REQUIRES BOLD
ACTION AND CHALLENGING LONG
HELD ASSUMPTIONS ON HOW WE LIVE
AND HOW WE COMMUTE. IN ADDITION
REQUIRING ACCESS PARKING HAS
BEEN SHOWN TO TRY WITH THE
COSTA HOUSING. MANDATORY
PARKING REQUIREMENTS WORSE IN
CALIFORNIA SEVERE HOUSING
SHORTAGE BY RAISING THE COST OF
HOUSING PRODUCTION. ON AVERAGE
A GARAGE COSTS TWENTY FOUR TO
THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS
PER SPACE TO BUILD AND THAT
COST IS PASSED ON TO
HOUSEHOLDS. REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER THEY OWN A CAR. LIKE
WITH SO MANY ISSUES I AM PROUD
THAT BERKELEY IS JOINED OTHER
CALIFORNIA CITIES IN LEADING
THE WAY ON THIS IMPORTANT
ISSUE. IN JANUARY OUR CITY
COUNCIL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO
ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT THAT
NEW DEVELOPMENTS PROVIDE OFF
STREET PARKING SPACES. ARE LAW
ALSO ESTABLISHED A PARKING
MAXIMUM APPOINT FIVE PARKING
SPACES FOR TRANSIT ORIENTED
DEVELOPMENT. AND THIS WAS BASED
ON PARKING SURVEYS THAT SHOW
THAT MANY PARKING SPOTS IN- OUR
COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS IN IN
TRANSIT RICH AREAS OFTEN ARE IN
HOUSTON THIS IS CERTAIN THE
CASE IN CITIES LIKE BERKELEY.
THAT HAVE SOME OF THE HIGHEST
PEDESTRIAN BICYCLIST COMMUTE
RATES IN THE COUNTRY. REMOVING
OFF STREET PARKING WILL MAKE
PROJECTS MORE AFFORDABLE. AND
ALLOW MORE UNITS TO BE CREATED.
LIKE BERKELEY SLOT. BILL
FORTINO ONE GIVES DEVELOPERS
TOOLS TO RIGHT SIDE PARKING
REQUIREMENTS. AND NOT TO BUILD
MORE THAN WHAT IS NEEDED I WANT
TO THANK ASEMBLY MEMBER
FRIEDMAN. FOR INTRODUCING THIS
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION TO MOVE
US TOWARDS REDUCING OUR
RELIANCE ON FOSSIL FUELS. AND
MAKING HOUSING MORE AFFORDABLE
AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE
ASSOCIATION OF BAY AREA
GOVERNMENTS IN THE SAN
FRANCISCO BAY AREA. I KNOW THAT
THIS LEGISLATION WILL HELP US
ACHIEVE OUR GOALS OF ADDRESSING
THE INTERLOCKING ISSUES OF
CLIMATE CHANGE. HOUSING
AFFORDABILITY AND
TRANSPORTATION THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. NEXT MAKER PLEASE. GOOD
AFTERNOON CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE MY NAME IS AMIR
KHAN AND I'M A SENIOR VICE
PRESIDENT WITH RELATED
CALIFORNIA AND I'M ALSO A BOARD
MEMBER FOR THE COUNCIL INFILL
BUILDERS ONE OF THE BILL'S CO
SPONSORS- I'VE BEEN DEVELOPING
AND BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING
IN CALIFORNIA FOR THE LAST
TWENTY FOUR YEARS IN RURAL
URBAN AND SUBURBAN COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND I'M
HERE TO TESTIFY IN STRONG
SUPPORT FOR A BI FORTINO ONE.
AS YOU HEARD- FROM THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER FRIEDMAN MOST
JURISDICTIONS STILL REQUIRE
EXCESSIVE ONSITE MINIMUM
PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL
DEVELOPMENT AND BUSINESSES
WHETHER THEY'RE NEAR TRANSIT OR
OR NOT- IT TENDS TO BE A ONE
SIZE FITS ALL ON SITE PARKING
REDUCES THE HOUSING SUPPLY BY
FRANKLY TAKING UP VALUABLE
SPACE THAT COULD OTHERWISE BE
USED TO BUILD. HOME PROVIDING
ONSITE PARKING AS YOU HEARD IS
A VERY EXPENSIVE DEPENDING ON
THE TYPE OF PARKING YOU KNOW WE
TYPICALLY WILL- ESTIMATE
PARKING TO COST BETWEEN THIRTY
AND. THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS PER STATE BILL. A NEW
CAR TO PASS DIRECTLY. ON TO
HOUSE THE- IN DEVELOPER.
RENTERS AND HOMEBUYERS MAKING
HOUSING THINK. AGAIN LAY MORE
EXPENSIVE TO PRODUCE OWN
IMPRESS. ANY DECADE OLD MINIMUM
PARKING REQUIREMENTS FRANKLY
MAKE IT COST PROHIBITIVE FOR
ANY NEW DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR
NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESSES BUT
ALSO NEED TO ADAPT TO OUR
CHANGING. EIGHTY FORTINO ONE
WOULD REDUCE THE OVER OF
PARKING AT THE LOCAL LEVEL IN
TURN THE BILL WILL HELP
CALIFORNIA REDUCE TRAFFIC
REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
ENCOURAGE TRANSIT USAGE AND
MOST IMPORTANTLY IT WILL REDUCE
THE HIGH COST OF HOUSING TO
RENTERS HOMEOWNERS AND
DEVELOPERS YOUR HIGH QUALITY
TRANSIT. AND IT WILL ALSO HELP
TO CREATE REVITALIZED AND
PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY WALKABLE
COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS IN
DOWNTOWN THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
THIS BILL DOES NOT PROHIBIT
PROPERTY OWNERS FROM BUILDING
ON SITE PARKING RATHER AS YOU
BIRDS IT GIVES DEVELOPERS
FLEXIBILITY TO DECIDE. ON HOW
MUCH PARKING IS SUITABLE FOR
THEIR DEVELOPMENT RATHER THAN
STICKING TO THE ONE SIZE FITS
ALL MANDATES. WHILE SOME
GOVERNMENTS ARE TAKING BOLD
STEPS LIKE BERKELEY TO REDUCE
FEES UP PARKING MINIMUMS DOING
SO AND IN MANY PLACES IN NOT
ONLY BE EXPENSIVE BUT
POLITICALLY CHALLENGING- ALSO
AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC IN
THE CLOSURE OF MANY RESTAURANTS
SMALL SHOPS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
HAVE TEMPORARY ALLOWED
BUSINESSES TO UTILIZE ONSITE
AND STREET PARKING SPACE. TO
EXPAND THEIR OPERATIONS
OUTDOORS. LONDON FROM. OF
STEAKS OUTDOOR DINING AND
SHOPPING AS PROVEN THROUGH WITH
ALL THAT THERE ARE. MORE
PRODUCTIVE USES FOR EMPTY
PARKING SPACES SHOWING US A NEW
WAY FORWARD THAT CREATEA MORE
INVITING AND SUSTAINABLE
CALIFORNIA THIS CALL. MALL

IN SOME CASES DRIVING THE
PRODUCT AND INK WORLD

GREAT THANK YOU AND I APOLOGIZE
FOR NOT ACKNOWLEDGING SOONER.
OKAY LET'S SEE WE HAVE OUT
THERE DO YOU WANT IN OPPOSITION

ANYWAY AND WHEN YOU WANT TO
SPEAK IN OPPOSITION OF THE BILL.
DO YOU IF YOU'RE IN A POSITION
OF AB FORTINO ONE YOU MAY PRESS
ONE AND THEN ZERO. ONE AND THEN
ZERO IN OPPOSITION. AND
OPPOSITION THANK YOU AT THE
TIME MANAGER GREAT THANK YOU-
OTHER ANY QUESTIONS OF THE
COMMITTEE YES ASSEMBLY MEMBER
FOR ON EARTH. I'M THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION-
WHEN I LOOK AT THIS I SEE THAT
YOU HAVE SOME VERY VALID
ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN PARKING- IS. REDUCED TO
THAT HOW THAT GENERATES DEMAND
FOR TRANSIT THE BIGGEST PROBLEM
I HAVE TO SAY MY DISTRICT IS
OUR TRANSIT IS VERY LOW
QUALITY. WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT
FUNDING WHICH IS NOWHERE IN
SIGHT. REDUCING THE PARKING
MINIMUMS DOWNTOWN CREATES A
MASSIVE PROBLEM THAT WILL TAKE
TEN TO TWENTY YEARS TO DO THE
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE NEED TO
DO TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE
FUNCTIONAL TRANSIT THAT SO MANY
OF THE CALLERS FROM THE BAY
AREA FROM LA FROM EVEN DOWNTOWN
SAN DIEGO. ALREADY ENJOY SO ONE
OF MY QUOTE YOU KNOW QUESTIONS
MAYBE WE AGREE TO DISAGREE ON
THIS IS YOUR BILL DOESN'T IN MY
MIND PROPERLY DIFFERENTIATE
BETWEEN QUALITY TRANSIT AT WHAT
POINT THEN THESE PARKING
MINIMUM- DISREGARD BECOMES
VALID. SO FOR EXAMPLE IN MY
DISTRICT WE HAVE TRAIN STATIONS
ALL ALONG THE COAST. BUT YOU
CANNOT GET FROM A TO B. AT ALL
BECAUSE THERE'S NO CONNECTION
ANYWHERE ELSE THAT YOU'RE GOING
TO YOU YOU CAN'T EVEN IN MY
CITY IF YOU LIVE DOWNTOWN GET
TO A GROCERY STORE. YOU KNOW
UNLESS YOU WANT TO GO TO A VERY
EXPENSIVE ONE SO THAT'S NOT
PRACTICAL RIGHT NOW AND IF WE
DON'T TIE REDUCTION OF PARKING
MINIMUMS TO INCREASE IN TRANSIT
FUNDING FOR THOSE AREAS THAT DO
NOT HAVE FUNCTION TRANSIT. I
THINK WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE
ACTUALLY CREATING A PROBLEM
THAT WE DON'T NEED TO CREATE SO
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE WILLING
TO WORK WITH ME ON THIS I DO
HAVE VERY SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS
ABOUT WHAT THIS WOULD DO
SPECIFICALLY IN MY DISTRICT. IN
SUBURBAN DISTRICTS GENERALLY
WHO DO NOT WHO WOULD MEET THE
QUALIFICATIONS IN YOUR BILL FOR
THE PARKING REDUCTIONS YET DO
NOT HAVE THE MEANS OF
EFFECTIVELY INCREASING. OUR
PUBLIC TRANSIT NETWORK. THANK
YOU I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE
CONCERN AND I'M VERY HAPPY TO
CONTINUE WORKING WITH YOU AND
OTHER MEMBERS- THAT FEEL THAT
THE BILL- MIGHT. HAVE YOU KNOW
DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS FOR THEIR
COMMUNITIES. I WOULD SAY THAT.
FINDING WAYS OF SPRING
COMMUNITIES TO DO BETTER LOCAL
TRANSIT WHEN YOU HAVE RAIL IS
AN IMPORTANT GOAL OF THE BILL
AS WELL. AS CHAIR
TRANSPORTATION I'M ALSO VERY
COMMITTED TO GETTING MORE
FUNDING FOR TRANSIT IN ALL OF
OUR COMMUNITIES INCLUDING YOURS
BUT VERY HAPPY. THE FIRST
COMMITTEE HEARING IS A LONG WAY
TO GO AND I'M SURE WE'LL BE
DOING YOU KNOW WORK ON THIS
BILL THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS BUT
I DO APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERNS
AND THANK YOU FOR VOICING THEM.
OTHER QUESTIONS. REMAIN
LACKING. YEAH THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER I DO HAVE SOME
OF THE SAME CONCERNS. AS MY
COLLEAGUE FROM OCEANSIDE. BUT
IN THE SAME RIGHT AT. I DIDN'T
HEAR YOU ACCEPTED MEMBERS. I'M
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT. ACCESS FOR
THE HANDICAPPED I GUESS I DID
ACCEPT THE AMENDMENTS AND THE
BEGINNING OF AND I AM ACCEPTING
THE AMENDMENTS. SO THERE WILL
BE THE HANDICAP WILL BE
PROVIDED AND HE BE CHARGING
THIS WHILE I'M ON I WOULD LIKE
TO HAVE SOME CLARITY ON WHAT.
HOW YOUR BILL ADDRESSES THE
HANDICAPPED. WITH THE AMENDMENT
WHAT WHAT DOES IT MEAN- YOU
KNOW THE AMENDMENT CAME FROM
THE COMMITTEE STAFF SO I. I
DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT'S
WORDED I'D ACTUALLY HAVE TO
PULL THE BILL OUT AND TAKE A
LOOK MAYBE- I UNFORTUNATELY
DON'T HAVE A STAFFER HERE YOU
KNOW WHO CAN HELP ME BECAUSE OF
BECAUSE OF IT. I DON'T KNOW IF
THERE'S A COMMITTEE STAFFER
FROM- FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENT WHO
MIGHT BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT.
WE CAN GET YOU THE ANSWERS AS
WELL AND ONCE AGAIN AND I'M
GONNA LET THE CHAIR BUT WE ARE
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK AND WE
CERTAINLY KNOW THAT THERE ARE
VULNERABLE PEOPLE WHO NEED
PARKING. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO
WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT
DOES HAPPEN BUT- CHAIR DID YOU
WANT TO HELP US WITH THAT. I'M
I CAN DO THAT IN A SECOND BUT
WELL I CAN DO NOW- THIS TOO WAS
AN ISSUE FOR ME AND SO- WE-
WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE
RECOGNIZE THE ADA PARKING
STANDARDS SO. IT'S IMPORTANT
FOR THE CONSISTENCY WITH OTHER
STATE POLICIES ENSURING THAT WE
DO NOT BACKSLIDE ON
REQUIREMENTS AND ENSURE PUBLIC
AND PRIVATE. SPACES ACCESSIBLE
TO PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES SO
WE DID PUT SOMETHING IN ADDRESS
THAT IN. THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS SO THEY'LL HAVE TO
STILL PROVIDE THE EIGHTY
PARKING SPACES THAT WE WOULD.
HAVE HAD TO PROVIDE A WOULD ONE
CENT. THE LAST THING WE WANT TO
DO IS. BATHROOM WELL NOT ONLY
THAT BUT I MEAN I I'M VERY
SENSITIVE TO THAT FOR NUMBER
REASONS- BY ONE OF THE MOST.
WAS THAT MY FATHER WAS VERY
DISABLED FOR LESS LIVING YEARS
OF HIS LIFE AND REQUIRED. HE
WAS NON AMBULATORY SUMMIT HAD
NEVER WILL CHAIR EVERY WENT AND
MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT. AND
WHEN THERE'S NOT. ADEQUATE
PARKING THEIR LIVES ARE
MINIMIZED SUBSTANTIALLY SO.
THANK YOU YEAH AND I THINK THE
COMMITTEE FOR POINTING THAT OUT
TO US AND WE ABSOLUTELY WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE ADA
SPACES THAT ARE REQUIRED-
LEGALLY. WILL BE REQUIRED.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER VOEPEL. YES-
ONCE AGAIN IN MY DISTRICT I
HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A
DIFFERENT PROBLEM I. HAVE A
VERY RURAL DISTRICT BUT ALSO
ABOUT 60% OF IT. OUR YOUNG
GROWING CITIES WITH LIGHT RAIL
THROUGH THEM. SO THOSE CITIES
TEND TO LIKE PARKING. AND THEY
REQUIRE EXTRA PARKING. IN THE
PARKING SPACES- EVEN BIGGER
BECAUSE A LOT OF THE PEOPLE IN
THAT DISTRICT. DR LARGE TRUCKS
THEN IF THEY GOT A GIANT SMELLY
DIESEL TRUCK IT'S EVEN FUNNIER
FORM SO- WHAT I'M THINKING IS
WOULD THERE POSSIBLY BE AN
AMENDMENT- THAT WE COULD DO-
THAT WOULD EXEMPT. CITIES A
HUNDRED THOUSAND AND BELOW.
FROM THIS PARTICULAR BILL
BECAUSE I'M I'M SPOT ON WITH
YOUR OF FOR. THE GIANT URBAN
AREAS I MEAN SAN FRANCISCO LA
SAN JOSE. GOT IT THIS IS A
GREAT BILL BUT FOR SOME OF THE
OTHER SMALLER AREAS MAY NOT BE
SO GOOD SO I'D LIKE TO WORK
WITH YOU TO. IF POSSIBLE IN THE
FUTURE ON THAT. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
THANK YOU AND WE'RE CERTAINLY
WILLING TO TALK TO ANY MEMBER
AND MAKE SURE THAT THIS WORKS
FOR EVERYONE I WILL SAY THAT
NOTHING IN THE BILL. OF
PROHIBITS DEVELOPERS ARE ADDING
PARKING AND THE EXPERIENCE
MOTHER CITIES HAS BEEN THAT THE
DEVELOPERS WANT PEOPLE TO USE
THEIR DEVELOPMENT- AND WHEN
THEY'RE LEFT TO THEIR OWN YOU
KNOW THE FREE MARKET I WILL SAY
WORKS IN A LOT OF CASES AND FOR
INSTANCE PEOPLE BUILDING HIGH
END LUXURY APARTMENTS ARE
PROBABLY GOING TO PROVIDE MORE
PARKING THAT I WOULD LIKE THEM
TO PROVIDE. BUT THEY'RE GOING
TO DO THAT BECAUSE THEY KNOW
THAT IF THEY DON'T DO THAT THE
UNITS WILL READ FOR A LESSER
AMOUNT OF MONEY THIS IS REALLY
GOING TO HELP THOSE MIDDLE
CLASS DEVELOPMENTS WHERE
THEY'RE TRYING TO AIM AT THE
MORE COST CONSCIOUS YOU KNOW
YOUNGER PEOPLE WORKING YOU KNOW
WORKING PEOPLE. AND IN AREAS
WHERE THEY KNOW THEIR CUSTOMERS
ARE GONNA SHOW UP IN A PICKUP
TRUCK. THEY'RE GOING TO SAVE
THE HOME DEPOT DOWN THE BLOCKS
GOT THE SPACES I'M GOING TO ADD
THE SPACES HERE OR THE CITIES
CAN HELP THEM BY BUILDING A
MUNICIPAL PARKING LOT THE
DOWNTOWN CITY OF GLENDALE HAS
THREE YES THREE OR FOUR
MUNICIPAL LOTS AND IT'S
DOWNTOWN. IT'S ALLOWED FOR A
REALLY VIBRANT MAIN STREET
FEELING THAT EVERYBODY LOVES
AND THE SMALL MOM AND POPS. YOU
KNOW THEY CAN OPEN THEIR LITTLE
SHOP WITHOUT HAVING TO PROVIDE
ALL THE PARKING THAT OTHERWISE
WOULD BE REQUIRED IT'S REALLY
WORKED OUT WELL SO CITIES HAVE
OPTIONS TO HELP WITH THAT
MANAGEMENT SHARED PARKING.
THAT'S WHAT BUFFALO FOUND
BUFFALO IS NOT A HUGE CITY I
USED TO LIVE NEAR THERE IN
ROCHESTER AND WHEN THEY TOOK
AWAY THE PARKING FROM THEIR
CITY VERY CLEARLY THEY FOUND
THAT THE DEVELOPERS ARE
ACTUALLY SHARING AND SAYING HEY
LET'S LET'S SHARE THIS PARKING
TOGETHER SO THERE'S A LOT OF
SOLUTIONS THAT ARE OUT THERE
AND I. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A
CASE WHERE THE MARKET'S GOING
TO HELP WITH THAT- AND. PEOPLE
WANT THE PROJECT TO BE
SUCCESSFUL. BUT WILL WE WILL
WORK WITH YOU. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
BLUE. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR I
WAS LAUGHING A LITTLE BIT
DURING THE LAST DISCUSSION
BECAUSE I HAVE A THREE CITIES
UNDER A HUNDRED THOUSAND AND-
AND IN MY DISTRICT- AND THEY'RE
ALL VERY DENSE AND TO MOST OF
THEM ARE A 100% WOULD PROBABLY
QUALIFY- AS BEING WITHIN A HALF
MILE OF TRANSIT SO WE'RE GOING
TO HAVE LANGUAGE WE WANT TO
CRAFTED VERY CAREFULLY BUT- I'M
GOING TO SUPPORT THIS BILL
TODAY I THINK THIS IS VERY
IMPORTANT POLICY IT'S A VERY
IMPORTANT POLICY DISCUSSION WE
HAVE BEEN. OVER PARKING AND
BUILDING TOO MUCH PARKING IN
OUR COMMUNITIES FOR MANY MANY
YEARS AND IT HAS- YOU KNOW IT'S
IN LARGE PART A RESPONSE TO
PEOPLE BEING AFRAID OF
DEVELOPMENT- FEAR OF
DEVELOPMENT HAS LED TO- ACIVIR
CONSTRAINT ON THE AMOUNT OF
HOUSING THAT WE HAVE BOTH
MARKET RATE AND AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND- PARTICULARLY-
HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS AND IT
IS NOT THE ONLY REASON THAT
HOUSING COSTS ARE HIGH BUT IT
IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE
DRIVERS SO THE TO THE EXTENT
THAT WE CAN. HAVE A DEBATE
ABOUT HOW TO REDUCE- THESE UP
UP UP PARKING GOT REQUIREMENTS-
IT'S A VERY VERY IMPORTANT
DISCUSSION FORCE. I WILL- POINT
OUT THAT- WE LEARNED IN
DOWNTOWN THAT WOULD NOT
DOWNTOWN IN THE- BERGAMOT
STATIONARY OF FIVE OF SANTA
MONICA FOR THOSE OF YOU ARE
FAMILIAR WITH IT- THAT THERE
WERE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF
UNUSED PARKING SPACES-
PRIMARILY IN COMMERCIAL
BUILDINGS IN THAT AREA- BUT
WHEN A STUDY WAS DONE THEY WERE
JUST YOU KNOW THEY THEY HAVE
BEEN THIS BILL THEY HAVE BEEN
SO OVER PARKED THAT THERE WERE
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF SPACES
THAT WERE GOING ON USED. EVERY
DAY WAS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY-
AND WHEN IT COMES TO HOUSING-
WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO LOWER THE
COST IS IMPORTANT THE OTHER ONE
CONCERN I HAVE AND- I JUST WANT
TO HIGHLIGHT IT- IT'S NOT GONNA
AFFECT MY BOOK TODAY- BUT I DO
BELIEVE THERE ARE SOME- AND I
HAVE TO SAY HAVING GOT- AMIR
KHAN THIS AS YOUR WITNESS- GOOD
GIVES GREAT CREDIBILITY- TO-
YOUR ARGUMENT IS THE AUTHOR ON
THIS. OTHER IT WON'T AFFECT A-
THE PRODUCTION OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING BUT SOME OF THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROVIDERS
ARE EXPRESSING SOME CONCERNS-
PRIMARILY BECAUSE- IT IT IT'S-
UNFORTUNATE- AFFIRMATIVE. OF
FROM THE- OF THIS ISSUE OF OVER
PARKING BUT- PARKING IS ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT ARE NEGOTIATED.
WHEN IT COMES TO DENSITY
BONUSES AND- PENCILING OUT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS- SO
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT- OF
THESE POLICIES ARE NOT IN
CONFLICT WITH ONE ANOTHER-
BECAUSE THEY'RE BOTH. OBVIOUSLY
A HOUSING PRODUCTION IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT- AND THE
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS THAT YOU
HAVE OUTLINED IN YOUR
PRESENTATION ARE IMPORTANT AS
WELL- SO- WITH- WITH THAT ONE
ISSUE- HANGING OUT THERE- WHICH
I HOPE WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO DISCUSS. I'M HAPPY SUPPORT
THE BILL AND I MAKE A MOTION TO
APPROVE THIS BILL. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH ARE THERE ANY OTHER
COMMENTS FROM THE COMMITTEE
SAYING NINE- WE- WE HAVE A
MOTION TO HAVE A SECOND. WE
HAVE A SECOND FROM-
ASSEMBLYMEMBER ALMOST- WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE I'LL JUST SAY
THAT IT'S VERY IRONIC WHAT
WE'RE DISCUSSING THIS AT RIGHT
NOW IN LOS ANGELES THEY'RE
LITERALLY USING UNUSED PARKING
CAPACITY TO. PUT TENTS UP TO
PUT HOMELESS PEOPLE IN THIS IS
THESE ARE THIS IS LAND THAT
REALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN HOUSING
GOING WAY BACK AND THE FACT
THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO MOVE
CARS TO DO THAT. THEY HAVE
ENOUGH JUST UNDER UTILIZED AN
UNUSED LAND THAT'S JUST
LITERALLY OCEANS OF CONCRETE-
WE NEED TO REPRIORITIZE WE NEED
TO PUT PEOPLE FIRST AND I'M
SURE THAT WE CAN NO THE REST
WILL SORT OUT AND INVEST IN
TRANSIT ALL OVER OUR STATE TO
MOVE PEOPLE AROUND IN A WAY
THAT'S MORE SUSTAINABLE WITHOUT
I WOULD REQUEST AND I BOTH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH YOU'RE
WELCOME ASSEMBLY MEMBER DID
YOU. TAKE THE AMENDMENTS YES I
COULD BE A MEMBERS AGREED TO SO
MAKE SURE I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR BRINGING THE BILL FOR
TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO REDUCE
THE COST OF HOUSING WITHOUT NEW
FUNDING. THERE IS A FAIR AMOUNT
OF EVIDENCE THAT MANY OF THE
PARKING STANDARDS THAT EXIST AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL HAVE LED TO
OVER DEVELOPMENT. OF COMMERCIAL
AND RESIDENTIAL PARKING. WITH
PARKING IF YOUR- IT THEY WILL
COME. ADDING MORE PARKING
MEASURABLY INCREASES DEMAND FOR
VEHICLE PARTNERSHIP. WHICH CAN
FRUSTRATE OUR ABILITY TO
ACHIEVE OUR STATE'S CLIMATE
GOALS. REDUCING PARKING
REQUIREMENTS AROUND TRANSIT
AREAS CAN MAKE. HOUSING MORE
AFFORDABLE AND OUR COMMUNITIES
MORE WALKABLE. I WANT TO THANK
YOU FOR WORKING WITH THE
COMMITTEE ENSURE THE BILL
RECOGNIZE EXISTING EVEY AND ADA
PARKING STANDARDS. AS ASSEMBLY
MEMBER LIKE HE HAD ALSO.
REQUIRED THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR
CONSISTENCY WITH OUR STATE
POLICIES IN ASSURING THEM. YOU
DO NOT BACKSLIDE ON THE
REQUIREMENTS THAT ENSURE PUBLIC
AND PRIVATE SPACES ARE
ACCESSIBLE. TO PERSONS WITH
DISABILITIES. WITH THAT I WILL
BE SUPPORTING YOUR BILL.
SECRETARY CALL THE ROLL. THE
MOTION IS TO PASS A MAN TO

COMMITTEE ANALYSIS BEFORE I
DIVE INTO THE DETAILS OF THE
BILL I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A
MOMENT TO TALK ABOUT PROCESS
AND HOW WE ARRIVED AT THIS
POINT. THIS BILL IS A PRODUCT
OF EXTENDED NEGOTIATIONS WITH A
WORKING GROUP COMPOSED OF
CITIES COUNTIES SPECIAL
DISTRICTS UTILITIES AFFORDABLE
AND MARKET RATE DEVELOPERS AND
ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS THROUGH A
SERIES OF DISCUSSIONS FIVE
DISCUSSIONS ACTUALLY WE ARRIVED
AT SEVERAL CONCEPTS THAT I
BELIEVE PROMOTE ACCOUNTABILITY
WHILE NOT ADVERSELY AFFECTING
THE ABILITY OF LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS TO FUND THE
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED TO SERVE
NEW HOUSING THESE CONCEPTS ARE
ALSO SUPPORTED BY A ROBUST
RESEARCH FROM UC BERKELEY'S
TURNER CENTER ON HOUSING
INNOVATION. I WOULD LIKE TO
THANK EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED
IN THE WORKING GROUP FOR THEIR
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THIS PIECE OF
LEGISLATION THIS IS TRULY AN
EXAMPLE OF HOW DIVERSE INTEREST
CAN WORK THROUGH THEIR
DIFFERENCES TO CREATE A GOOD
PUBLIC POLICY NOW ON TO THE
BILL AB SIX ZERO TWO IT
ESTABLISHES TRANSPARENCY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY STANDARDS FOR
THE NEXUS STUDIES THAT LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS PREPARE WHEN
IMPOSING DEVELOPMENT IMPACT
FEES V. THESE INCLUDE
REQUIREMENTS THAT LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS STATE THEIR
EXISTING LEVELS OF SERVICE
PROVIDED A CAPITAL FACILITIES
PLAN FOR PROPOSED EXPENDITURES
AND COMPLY WITH PUBLIC NOTICE
AND OPEN MEETING REQUIREMENTS.
THIS BILL WILL TIE FEES MORE
CLOSELY TO THE ACTUAL IMPACTS
OR NEW DEVELOPMENT BY REQUIRING
OR FORTY DEVELOPER BY REQUIRING
THAT FEES BE PROPORTIONATE TO
THIS WE'RE- OF A PROPOSED UNIT
OR UNITS. AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT
OF THIS POLICY IS THAT THE
VOTERS WILL BE GIVEN AN
INCENTIVE TO DIVIDE OR SUB
DIVIDE PROJECTS INTO SMALLER
MORE NATURALLY AFFORDABLE
UNITS. THIS BILL ALSO DIRECTS
THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TO
DEVELOP A TEMPLATE FOR NEXUS
STUDIES THAT LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS MADE SHOES TWO
YEARS M. MAKES CLARIFYING
CHANGES TO THE WAY LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS POSTER IMPACT
THESE ONLINE. RECENT AMENDMENTS
NARROWED THE SCOPE OF THE BILL
THE ONLY AFFECT FEES REGULATED
BY THE MITIGATION FEE ACT
STRENGTHENED AND CLARIFIED THE
REQUIREMENTS TO CALCULATE FEES
BY SQUARE FOOTAGE. AND
INCORPORATE SEVERAL BEST
PRACTICES SUGGESTED BY LOCAL
GOVERNMENT ADVOCATES. COMMITTEE
COMMITMENTS WILL LIMIT THE
REQUIREMENT TO UTILIZE A
CAPITAL FACILITIES PLAN TO
LARGE JURISDICTIONS THAT WOULD
BE COUNTIES OVER TWO HUNDRED
AND FIFTY THOUSAND POPULATION.
AND TO MAKE OTHER TECHNICAL IN
CLARIFYING CHANGES TAKEN
TOGETHER THESE COMMONSENSE
REFORMS WILL PROVIDE
CONSISTENCY CLARITY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE WAY THAT
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS DETERMINED
DEVELOPMENTAL IMPACT FEES. HERE
TO SPEAK ABOUT THE RESEARCH
BEHIND THIS BILL AND IT'S
IMPORTANT IN ADDRESSING OUR
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY CRISIS R.

UC BERKELEY'S TURNER CENTER FOR
HOUSING INNOVATION. AND LAURIE
FEILER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT
SAN DIEGO HABITAT FOR HUMANITY.
OPERATOR THE SUPPORTERS PLEASE
GIVE OPEN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR COMMITTEE
MEMBERS MY NAME IS DAVID GARCIA
ON THE POLICY DIRECTOR AUDITORS
AND ACCOUNTING DIVISION UC
BERKELEY WHICH IS A RESEARCHER
POLICY CENTER FOCUSED ON ALL
MATTERS OF HOUSING ISSUES THE
LAND USE REFORM TO INNOVATIVE
CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES TO THE
HIGH COST OF BUILDING NEW
HOMES. TODAY I'M HERE TO LIFT
UP SOME OF OUR RECENT WORK ON
DEVELOPINGIMPACT FEES AND HOW
EIGHTY SIX OH TWO ALIGNS WITH
SOME OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS-
THIS OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS
THAT WE PUBLISHED THREE UNIQUE
PIECE THE RESEARCH ON THIS
EXACT TOPIC WITH THE SUPPORT OF
THE STATE HOUSING COMMITTEE
DEVELOPED PARTNER THE FIRST
THING I WANT TO SAY IS THAT. WE
DON'T FEES ARE VERY IMPORTANT
SOURCE OF REVENUE FOR CITIES
LOOKING TO MITIGATE THE REAL
IMPACT OF NEW HOUSING THE BUT
BECAUSE CITIES ARE GENERALLY
CONSTRAINED ON HOW WE CAN RAISE
REVENUE FOR THINGS LIKE PARKS
AND ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE. WBZ
ARE OFTEN TIMES THE ONLY WAY
SOME OF THESE CRITICAL PROJECTS
CAN GET FUNDED IT ISALSO TRUE
THAT FEES ARE NOT ALWAYS
CALCULATED OR ENCLOSED IN
TRANSPARENT OR EQUAL. MATTERS
WHICH MAY LEAD TO. ONLY BY FEE
AMOUNTS ON YOUR- WHICH- SHOWS
CLEARLY. ULTIMATELY UP. THE FOR
THAT NEW HOME- WHICH IS
OBVIOUSLY ISSUE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA WHERE HOME PRICES
ARE. REALLY CONTINUE TO
SKYROCKET. AND OUR RESEARCH
SUGGESTS THAT SIMPLE CHANGES IN
THE CALCULATION IN THE
POSITION. OF DEVELOPMENT IMPACT
FEES CAN MORE PROPERLY ALIGNED
HE SEES. WITH THE ACTUAL
IMPACTS. WHILE ALSO LOWERING
DEVELOPMENT COSTS OVERALL- FOR
EXAMPLE. THAT SHIFTING TO A PER
SQUARE FOOT CALCULATION FOR
CERTAIN FEES RATHER THAN- J. A
PER UNIT BASIS WHICH IS WHAT
MANY TO DETECT- THAT CAN. IN
SOME CASES MORE ACCURATELY
REFLECT THE NEW ATTACKS THE
RESULT IN MORE RECENT COST- IT
IS CHANGE ALSO. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
ALLUDED TO IT DOESN'T AND
INTENTIONALLY PUNISH SMALL UNIT
DEVELOPMENT. AS WE SEE TODAY IN
THE CITY THAT YOU THEY KERR
UNIT CALCULATION- AND SO EIGHTY
SIX OH TWO MAKES IT PRETTY
SIMPLE CHANGE. ALSO ALLOWS FOR
FLEXIBILITY IN INSTANCES WHERE
AS YOU CHANGE MAY. NOT BE
POSSIBLE OR OR ACTIVITY JUST
SO. AGAIN A CALCULATION IN A
POSITION OF IMPACT THESE IS A
REALLY TECHNICAL COMPLEX
PROCESS BUT THEIR PROPER
CALCULATION IMPLEMENTATION IS
REALLY IMPORTANT. TO ENSURE
THAT THESE ARE REASONABLE AND
TRULY REFLECTIVE OF THE IMPACT
WILL GROW HELLO- THIS BILL
TAKES. OF REASON THAT TOWARDS
BRINGING MORE TRANSPARENCY AND
BEST PRACTICES TO DIVIDING. THE
THESES- IN LINE WITH THE
RECOMMENDATIONS WE MADE FOR SO
FOR THESE REASONS WERE
SUPPORTIVE OF THE CHANGES
PROPOSED BELT AND I'D LIKE TO
ATTEND ASSEMBLY MEMBER. FOR ALL
OF HIS WORK ON THE ISSUE- AGAIN
IT'S COMPLEX AND TECHNICAL
TECHNICAL BUT. IT IS REALLY
NEEDED SO I'M ALSO- JUST YOUR
SUPPORT FOR THIS BILL AND THEN
YOU THE CHAIR IN THE COMMITTEE
OR- FOR HAVING COME. NEXT WE'RE.
I DON'T KNOW YEAH RIGHT AFTER
YES GOOD AFTERNOON MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE AND LAURIE FEILER
I AM OVER SAN DIEGO HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY AND THE FORMER AND
FORMER MAYOR FOR THE CITY OF
ESCONDIDO I THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE MY
THOUGHTS AND EXPERIENCE WITH
THIS COMMITTEE AND I THINK YOU
A FAMILY MEMBER GRAYSON FOR
TAKING THIS ISSUE ON. WE ALL
KNOW THAT. THAT CALIFORNIA IS
IN HOUSING CRISIS COMES ABOUT
THAT EVERY DAY. AND AS A
PORTABLE HOUSING DEVELOPER
CALIFORNIA IS BECOMING
INCREASINGLY MORE EXPENSIVE TO
BUILD. IMPACT FEES ARE
SIGNIFICANT COSTS FOR OUR%
PROJECT ASK FOR OUR LAST
PROJECT IN EL CAJON WE WRITE A
CHECK. FOR A HUNDRED AND TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO
CONNECT WIDER TO FIVE HOMES AND
THAT WAS THE IMPACT FEE AS WELL
AS PAYING THE DISTRICT OR THE
ACTUAL CONNECTION. THAT WAS A
HARD CHECK TO WRITE. IN FEES.
OVERALL YOU TAKE ALL THE IMPACT
ARE CAN BE AS MUCH AS AND ARE.
OF THE TOTAL COST TO BUILD AND
CRASH THAT MEANS FIFTY TO
SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
PER UNIT. AND THAT DID NOT
INCLUDE THE PROCESSING FEES
WHICH CAN ALSO ADD UP AND
CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE
HIGH COST OF BUILDING. AT
HABITAT WE ARE SELLING OUR
HOMES AT THE AFFORDABLE PRICE
TO OUR FAMILIES. OF BETWEEN
THREE HUNDRED AND THREE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS BUT
THEY ARE COSTING AT. FIFTY TO
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
JUST TO BUILD AND WE HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING TO HELP WITH THE COST
SIDE OF THAT LEDGER- EIGHTY SIX
OH TWO PROVIDES TRANSPARENCY
AND CLARITY AS TO WHAT THE FEES
ARE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO- BY
CREATING CLEAR GUIDELINES THAT
HELP TO CITIES AS WELL. IN A
CONTABILIDADE FOR THE NEXT TWO
STUDIES- WHILE I WAS THE MAYOR
PUBLICITY THAT CAN BE- I ALWAYS
WONDERED WHY DEVELOPERS BROUGHT
FORWARD HOMES THAT WERE SO
LARGE AND COVERAGE SO MUCH OF
THE LACK. AT LEAVING ANOTHER
CONSEQUENCE OF VIRTUALLY NO
YARD FOR CHILDREN TO PLAY- BUT
HE JUST WONDERED WHY ARE WE
BUILDING SUCH LARGE HOUSES THEY
CAME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THESE
ARE SO HIGH YOU HAD THE BILL
THAT THE FEES STRUCTURE.
MEANING HOMES WERE I'VE BEEN IN
THAT EIGHTEEN TO TWENTY FOUR
HUNDRED SQUARE FOOT RANGE AND
THAT SITE IS MORE OF YEAR
GRADUATED HOMES AFTER. AFTER
YOU HAVE PURCHASED YOUR FIRST
HOME AND THE NINE HUNDRED TWO
ELEVEN HUNDRED SQUARE FOO
RANGE OF THE STRUCTURE DOES NOT
SUPPORT THE BUILDING OF
NATURALLY OCCURRING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING WHICH WOULD. BE MORE
LIKELY. IN THAT NINE HUNDRED
TWO ELEVEN HUNDRED. THIS SPELL
I READ. THAT HE'S BECAUSE- TO
THE SQUARE. OF A PROPOSED UNIT
OR UNITS. WILL BE IN EXCELLENT
FIRST THAT INCREASE MORE.
HOUSING YOU FOR PER. I THINK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TEST
AND I URGE YOUR SUPPORT.

STRIKES A GOOD COMPROMISE ON A
VERY COMPLICATED ISSUE.
REQUIRING MORE FREQUENT NEXUS
STUDIES TO JUSTIFY FEE LEVELS
AND INCREASING THE
ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY
REQUIREMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH
THOSE STUDIES. IS A GOOD
GOVERNMENT REFORM MEASURE THAT
I AM PLEASED TO SUPPORT. SHARE

OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY BEFORE
YOU TODAY ON AB FOUR TWENTY
EIGHT- THIS BILL AND- IS RATHER
SIMPLE IN FACT IT'S ABOUT TEN
WORDS- AND I IT STRIKES AT THE
CORE OF OUR DEMOCRATIC
INSTITUTIONS WE MUST ENSURE
THAT OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE
STRUCTURED IN A WAY THAT LEADS
TO THE BEST ELECTED
REPRESENTATION POSSIBLE THIS
BILL SIMPLY GUARANTEES
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR COUNTY
SUPERVISORS BY ALLOWING THEM TO
STAND FOR REELECTION AND GAIN
EXPERTISE ON THE JOB THROUGH A
MINIMUM OF TWO ELECTED TERMS IN
OFFICE. WHILE ALSO ALLOWING
THEM ADEQUATE COMPENSATION SO
WE HAVE QUALIFIED CANDIDATES
THAT AREN'T JUST INDEPENDENTLY
WEALTHY BEFORE THEY THEY SERVE.
NOW I'M JOINED TODAY BY A JEAN
HURST ON BEHALF OF THE URBAN
COUNTIES OF CALIFORNIA. AS WELL
AS C. SACK TODAY AND ALSO-

CHAIR AND MEMBERS TERRY MORAN
AND ON BEHALF OF S. YEAH
CALIFORNIA- WE HAVE A LONG
HISTORY WITH TERM LIMITS HERE
IN CALIFORNIA AND- WE HAVE A
VERY- RELATIONSHIP I'VE BEEN
FOR AND AGAINST IT BUT IN NO
INSTANCE HAVE WE EVER SUPPORTED
ANY EFFORTS. TO LIMIT IT TO ONE
TERM- THAT PART OF WHAT IS
GOING ON INSURE FIT THERE'S
NEVER GOING TO BE THE LEVEL OF
ACTUAL EXPERTISE WE- APPRECIATE
WANT TO SEE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
IN ADDITION B. COMPENSATION
LIMIT- PREVENT FOLKS FROM MY
UNION BY MEMBERSHIP- THE
WORKING CLASS FROM
PARTICIPATING IF THEY CAN'T
AFFORD TO WORK SOME OTHER JOB
AND HOBBYIST AS A LOCAL ELECTED
OFFICIALS AND THOSE OF YOU COME
FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENT NOW VERY
WELL IT'S NOT A HOBBY PUBLIC

WORK A JOB FOR THAT REASON WE
SUPPORT THIS BILL THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS- I. ANGIE AND HIRTH-
HERE TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE
URBAN COUNTY THE CALIFORNIA A
COALITION OF FOURTEEN OF THE
STATE'S MOST POPULOUS COUNTIES
I IN SUPPORT OF ASSEMBLY BILL
FOUR TWENTY EIGHT I WOULD SEEK
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
THAT ARE SUBJECT TO A TERM
LIMIT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A
MINIMUM OF TWO TERMS. OF THE
BILL ALSO CLARIFIED THAT BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR PRESCRIBING COMPENSATION
FOR ALL COUNTY OFFICERS
INCLUDING THE BOARD THEMSELVES-
WELL THEY COUNTY SAN BERNARDINO
WAS FACED WITH SOME IMPACT OF
ITS RECENTLY APPROVED MEASURE
K. THAT MEASURE IS PROSPECTIVE
EVAN STATEWIDE IN NATURE
IMPORTANTLY- YOU CAN IMAGINE
MANY OF OUR BOARD MEMBERS ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT THE MILLER
FUTURE MEMBERS. MEASURES THAT
SEEK TO PROVIDE A SINGLE TERM
LIMIT AND DRAMATICALLY LIMIT
COMPENSATION AND WHAT THAT
MEANS FOR THE FUTURE COUNTY
GOVERNMENT IN CALIFORNIA IF YOU
KNOW CALIFORNIA COUNTIES ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR A BROAD ARRAY
OF LOCAL SERVICES AS WELL AS
FEDERAL PROGRAMS ADMINISTERED
ON THE STATE'S BEHALF IN FACT
THE RECENT PUBLIC HEALTH
EMERGENCY MAY BE THE BEST
EVIDENCE OF THE COMPLEX SET OF
SERVICE OBLIGATIONS AND
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IS
COUNTY FOR A MOMENT ON A DAILY
BASIS. A SINGLE TERM SIMPLY
DOES NOT ALLOW FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF EXPERTISE
NECESSARY TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE
THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF A
CALIFORNIA COUNTY SUPERVISOR
ESTABLISHING A MINIMUM TWO TERM
LIMIT IS BOTH REASONABLE AND
PRACTICAL TO ENSURE THE COUNTY
TO PROVIDE YOUR COMMITTED
ACCOUNTABLE AND CAPABLE OF
GOVERNING IN THE MODERN DAY AND
UCC STRONGLY SUPPORTS THIS
MEASURE AND RESPECTFULLY.
REQUEST YOUR AYE BUT TODAY.
THANK YOU. OPERATOR THE OTHER
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT. WISH TO
SAY SUPPORT ON AB FOUR TO EIGHT
YOU MAY PRESS ONE AND THEN ZERO.
WE'LL GO TO LINE OF TWO FIFTEEN

BOTTOM LINE OF ONE SEVENTY
THREE YOUR LINE IS OPEN. HELLO
THIS IS A SCOTT KAUFMAN FROM
THE HOWARD JARVIS TAXPAYERS
ASSOCIATION- TIMBER NEAR THE
MEASURE CAME INTO THE COUNTY
CHARTER TO BONE TERM LIMIT OF
ONE TERM REDUCE THE TOTAL
COMPENSATION PREACHER THE BOARD
SURVIVES FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
A MONTH. THIS BILL WOULD
REQUIRE THAT WHEN TERM LIMITS
ARE IMPOSED LIMITS BE NO FEWER
THAN TWO TERMS IT WOULD ALSO
SPECIFY THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS. IS INCLUDED IN THE
DEFINITION COUNTY OFFICERS FROM
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
REGARDING PRESCRIBED
COMPENSATION IT SEEMS CLEAR TO
US THAT AB FOUR TO EIGHT IN
DIRECT RESPONSE AMBER IN THE US
MEASURE K. WE UNDERSTAND THAT
OTHER COUNTIES ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT PERSONAL SIMILAR
MEASURES. BUT THIS BILL COULD
ESTABLISH REASONABLE STANDARDS
FOR TERM LIMIT INITIATIVES AND
OTHER COUNTIES WITHOUT
TRAMPLING ON THE RIGHTS OF A
TWO THIRDS MAJORITY OF SAN
BERNARDINO COUNTY VOTERS TO
APPROVE MEASURE K. WIN THE
AUTHOR'S OFFICE HAVE A
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ON THE
MEANING OF SECTION ONE
PARAGRAPH THE- PARAGRAPH B.
CONTAINS TWO SENTENCES THAT WE
BELIEVE HAVE SEPARATELY
OPERATIVE A FAX. THE FIRST
SENTENCE WE BELIEVE DOESN'T
FACT CREAMS LOCAL OTHER
INITIATIVES THAT REGULATE THE
TERMS THE NUMBER OF TERMS AND A
MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CONSERVE.
THE SECOND SENTENCE NOT AT
ISSUE AS WE READ IT SIMPLY
MEANS THAT ANY LOCAL INITIATIVE
OR LAW WOULD ONLY HAVE A
PROSPECTIVE AFFECT AS TO THE
CURRENT CITY MEMBERS OF THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND THAT'S
OUR PRIMARY DISPUTE IS WITH THE
FIRST SENTENCE WHICH WE
BELIEVE. TRANSLOCATIONS
INCLUDING MEASURE K. THE PEOPLE
HAVE SPOKEN AND I ASK THAT YOU
VOTE NO. ON AB FOUR TO EIGHT.
OUR THERE ANY OTHER UP BUT WE-
YOU AND BOOK ANY OTHER WITH.
NOT WHAT A LOT OF SIXTY FOUR
YOUR LINES OPEN. ONE SIXTY FOR
YOUR LINE IS OPEN. HE FROM THE
WEB BERMAN GROUP AND- I OPPOSE
AB FOUR TO EIGHT THE RED BERMAN
GOOD IS THE ORGANIZATION THAT
SPONSORED- THIS NATION BUILD.
BUT WAS APPROVED BY TWO THIRDS
OF THE VOTERS IN MY COUNTY.
YEAH I HAVEN'T WAYS TO GIVE
CONTROL BACK TO THE PEOPLE OF
THE COUNTY. AND WE FEEL THAT
THIS THAT AB TWO FOUR TWO EIGHT
DIRECTLY TARGETS THE VOTERS
WILL AND INTENT THEN WE WOULD
ASK THE COMMITTEE TO. OPPOSE
APPROVAL OF THIS- BILL. THANK
YOU THANK YOU. THANK YOU WE
HAVE NO FURTHER IN QUEUE AT
THIS TIME THANK YOU VERY MUCH
WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE
COMMITTEE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
ALMOST THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
AND- THANK YOU SOME AMERICA-
MAYES FOR A BRING IN THIS ISSUE
FORWARD. HOWEVER I DO HAVE SOME
QUESTIONS ON IT- YOU KNOW AS
YOU OPEN UP YOUR STATEMENT YOU
SAID THAT IT SIMPLE COUPLE
LINES SOMETIMES A COUPLE HINDS
COULD. LEAD TO A LOT OF
DIFFERENT THINGS BUT YOU ALSO
SENSE THE DEMOCRATIC
INSTITUTIONS. ARE MOVING FOR
BUT ALSO- THERE'S THE
DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS OF THE VOTERS
RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE TO BE
HEARD. BUT MY QUESTIONS- WILL
CENTER AROUND. THE BILL AND
SOME OF THE CLARIFYING AREAS
THAT I WANTED TO GET- CLARIFIED
SUCH AS- WHAT THE HOWARD JARVIS
TAXPAYER. BROUGHT UP IN THIS
SECTION BE- BUT IN THE LAST
PARAGRAPH YOU TALK ABOUT ANY
PROPOSAL TO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF
TERMS THE BOARD MEMBER
SUPERVISOR MAY SERVE. ON THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS SHALL
APPLY APPLY PROSPECTIVELY.
MEETING IN THE FUTURE CORRECT.
ONLY AND SHALL NOT BECOME
OPERATIVE UNLESS IT IS
SUBMITTED TO THE ELECTORS OF
THE COUNTY AND A REGULAR
SCHEDULED ELECTION. AND
MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST. ON
THAT QUESTION- AND IT'S ADOPTED
A FAVORABLE AREA CAN YOU
ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT MORE ON
THAT. DOES THAT MEAN THAT ANY
TERM LIMITS THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT ONE TERM LIMIT.
SPECIFICALLY IN SEMINOLE COUNTY
THAT THE CALLER'S BROUGHT UP-
BUT THIS BILL TALKS ABOUT GOING
BACK TO THE ELECTORS CAN YOU
TALK ABOUT OUR CAN YOU CLARIFY.
WHEN THAT PROCESS WILL ACTUALLY
GO BACK TO THE LECTORS. SURE
HI- AS YOU KNOW I MISS AROUND
WITH YOU AND I'VE HAVE- HAVE
KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR A LONG
TIME AND- YEAH WHEN I- YOU WERE
MY COUNTY SUPERVISOR- IN FACT
AND- WHEN I WAS THE CHIEF OF
STAFF FOR ANOTHER COUNTY
SUPERVISOR YOUR OFFICE WAS
RIGHT NEXT TO. WAS RIGHT NEXT
TO MINE- YOU ALSO KNOW THAT I
AM NOT AN ATTORNEY- AND WHAT
YOU WERE- REFERENCING WAS THE
SECOND PART OF THE LANGUAGE IS
ALREADY WHICH WAS. HAS ALREADY
A MATTER OF LAWYER TALK ABOUT
WAS PERSPECTIVE YOU KNOW I
THINK THIS BILL WOULD CHANGE IS
THE LANGUAGE ARTS AS A PROPOSAL
TO LIMIT. TO NUKE NO FEWER
THAN- THEN THEN TO TERMS- AND
AS WE HAVE WE HAVE DISCUSSED-
MY CONCERN- IN REGARDS WHY I'M-
I'M CARRYING THIS BILL- IS
BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN LOCAL
GOVERNMENT IN FACT WHEN I WAS.
THINKING ABOUT COMING BEFORE
ALL OF YOU TODAY- I WAS
THINKING I THINK EVERY PERSON
THAT SERVED THAT SERVING ON
THIS- THIS COMMITTEE HAS
SERVED. IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
AND I AND I THINK- EITHER
COUNTY SUPERVISOR OR OR CITY
GOVERNMENT. WHEN I WAS FIRST
ELECTED WHEN I WAS TWENTY FIVE
YEARS OLD- BECAUSE I HAD A
DEGREE IN GOVERNMENT- I THOUGHT
I HAD ALL THE ANSWERS COULDN'T
WAIT TO GET. TO IT- TO SIT DOWN
AND BE ABLE TO. TAKE TO GET TO
WORK AND I REALIZED VERY
QUICKLY- THAT- I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT- I
WORKED INCREDIBLY HARD. AT IT
IN FACT I STILL REMEMBER GOING
THROUGH MY AGENDA PACKETS OVER
THE WEEKEND. AND READING EVERY
SINGLE WORD FROM THE BEGINNING.
TO THE END AND IT TOOK ME. A
GOOD THREE YEARS- WHILE I WAS
SERVING ON THAT COUNCIL TO
FIGURE OUT. WHAT I WAS DOING
WAS PROBABLY FIVE YEARS. I
BEFORE I REALLY UNDERSTOOD THAT
THE VOTE THAT I WAS TAKING. THE
IMPACT THAT THAT WOULD
ULTIMATELY THAT WOULD
ULTIMATELY HAVE. NOW I SERVED
IN THE COMMUNITY- THAT- HAD-
TWENTY ONE THOUSAND PEOPLE IN
IT. A BUDGET OF TWELVE MILLION.
AND FIFTY EMPLOYEES AND IT TOOK
ME AT LEAST FIVE YEARS TO
REALLY. TO REALLY UNDERSTAND
IT. MY TO COUNTIES THAT I
REPRESENT A BOTH HAVE NORTH OF
TWO MILLION EOPLE COMBINED.
THEREFORE THERE ARE FOUR
MILLION TWO DIFFERENT BOARDS.
IN SAMBAR DINO COUNTY AS AN
EXAMPLE THERE OVER TWENTY
THOUSAND EMPLOYEES AND THEY
HAVE BUDGETS IN THE BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS BOTH OF MY- MY COUNTY I
SERVED AS THE CHIEF OF STAFF
AND DOUG AND WORK FULL TIME.
AND I CAN TELL YOU FOR THE TIME
THAT I WAS THERE I STILL.
DIDN'T FULLY UNDERSTAND THE
CHIEF OF STAFF- FULL TIME
UNLIKE BEING A CITY COUNCIL
MEMBER. ALL THE DIFFERENT
PARAMETERS OF COUNTY
GOVERNMENT. WHAT IS IT IS
AMAZING TO ME IS TO THINK THAT
WE HAVE A SYSTEM. IN WHICH THE
AVERAGE IF WE HAVE ONE TERM.
THE AVERAGE TIME FOR SET FOR A
FIVE MEMBER BOARD. WOULD B
EITHER ONE AND A HALF YEARS ONE
POINT SIX TO BE EXACT. OR TWO
POINT FOUR YEARS. OF TOTAL TIME
SERVING IN THAT CAPACITY. I
BELIEVE ELECTED REPRESENTS A
REAL ELECTIVE REPRESENTATION.
IN FACT I ALSO BELIEVE MY ALSO
BELIEVE IN TERM LIMITS. I THINK
TERM LIMITS IS APPROPRIATE. BUT
FOUR YEARS IS NOT ENOUGH TIME
TO BE ABLE TO HAVE. ENOUGH
UNDERSTANDING. TO BE ABLE TO
MAKE A DECISION SO WHAT THIS.
MEASURE BEFORE YET DOES. IT
SAYS. THAT COUNTY SUPERVISORS.
WE TALKED ABOUT ALL THE
DIFFERENT THINGS THAT THEY DO.
THEY CAN SERVE FOR THERE CAN
STILL BE LOCAL NEST OF A LOCAL
MEASURE TO LIMITED. BUT THEY
CAN SERVE FOR AT LEAST. TWO
TERMS THE TOTAL OF EIGHT YEARS.
VERY VERY SIMPLE THANK YOU
MEMBER SIDE OF THE TECHNICAL.
WAS WITH THE GO BACK TO THE
LECTORS AS- IT'S ALLUDED TO IN
SECTION B. OF YOUR BILL. AND
I'M TAKING THAT THE ANSWERS NOW-
THE LANGUAGE HERE- IN MY BILL-
IS VERY CLEAR I THINK- IF I CAN
MISTER RAMOS YOU'RE
SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT
SAMBAR DINO COUNTY NON SPEAKING
TO YOUR BILL- MR ASSEMBLY
MEMBER MR MAYS AND SECTION
AGAIN B. THE SECOND PART OF IT
SAYS ANY PROPOSAL TO LIMIT THE
NUMBER OF TERMS OF A MEMBER OF
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MAY
SERVE- ON THE BOARD- ONLY AND
SHALL NOT BECOME OPERATIVE
UNLESS IT IS SUBMITTED TO THE
ELECTORS. OF THE COUNTY AT A
REGULAR SCHEDULED ELECTION IN
THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST
ON THE QUESTION FAVOR THE
ADOPTION OF THE PROPOSAL SO MY
QUESTION- MISTER MASON- AND YOU
DID ALLUDE THAT YOU'RE YOU'RE
NOT AN ATTORNEY BUT- I'M NOT
EITHER AND I'M READING YOUR
BILL. INTO ME I'M READING THAT
THAT WOULD GO BACK TO THE
ELECTORS OR OR NO THAT'S THAT'S
THE QUESTION. IN A SPECIFIC TO
YOUR BILL. FOR THE DAY EIGHT I
THINK WHAT WE'RE WHAT YOU'RE
REFERENCING IS THE LANGUAGE
THAT IS ALREADY A MATTER OF. OF
LAW MY BILL ONLY DEALS WITH A
LINE NUMBER TWENTY FIVE WHERE
IT SAYS TO NO FEWER. THAN TWO
TERMS. THE WHOLE SECTION OF BE
APPLIES IN THE FILES TWENTY
FIVE HUNDRED YEAH WELL I'M
TALKING TO SO I WOULD. TAKE IT
I WOULD I DID NOT CORRECT THAT
WOULD BE I'D BE HAPPY I'M NOT
ABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION OF
SOMEBODY FROM THE COMMITTEE.
MADAM CHAIR COULD COULD ASSIST
WITH THAT THAT MIGHT HAVE- A
MORE EXPERTISE THERE. YEAH I'LL
BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO COST
SAVING GET THAT CLARIFIED I
DON'T HAVE IN FRONT OF ME. THEY
FIND OUT. MANAGER WOULD YOU
LIKE ME TO GO ON TO MY NEXT
QUESTION IS WEEK FROM CLOSURE
YOU'RE MORE THAN HALF OR WOULD
YOU RATHER HOLD NOT DISCARDED
THAT'S BECAUSE WE NEED TO KEEP
MOVING THANK YOU- FOR THAT- AND
AS WE GET THAT CLARIFIED. THAT
IT WOULD GO BACK TO THAT- A
LECTOR SOME HOPING THAT THAT'S
THE CLARIFYING POINT. THE NEXT
PART OF YOUR BILL TALKS ABOUT-
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
PRESCRIBE THE COMPENSATION. OF
COUNTY- WHAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY
OFFICERS WHICH MEANS IN THE
COUNTIES- THE ASSESSOR THE
SHERIFF IN THOSE DIFFERENT
ELECTIVES THERE. THAT THE BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS ON THE G. SO
ELOQUENTLY TALKED ABOUT THAT I
SAT ON IN EUROPE. CHIEF OF
STAFF- AND IT TOOK YOU SO MANY
YEARS TO FIGURE OUT HOW THAT.
WORKS RIGHT BUT WE DID HAVE
STAFF IN THE ORGANIZATION THAT
NEW. RIGHT BUT IT TALKS ABOUT
NOW WITH YOUR BILL. INCLUDING
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
BRINGING THAT INTO- THE FAULT
AS SETTING. THEIR SALARY AND NO
WERE MENTIONING IN THIS SECTION
OF TWENTY FIVE THREE HUNDRED.
DOES IT TALK ABOUT GOING TO THE
ELECTORS. AT THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT IS THAT CORRECT-
THAT. PORTION IS CLARIFYING OF.
OF EXISTING LONG WHEN USED SO
THAT'S THE COMMA SO ITS
OFFICERS COM INCLUDING THE
BOARD. OF SUPERVISORS- OF THE
FIFTY EIGHT COUNTIES- MY
UNDERSTANDING IS UNLESS THERE'S
A LOCAL- LOCAL INITIATIVES
MMHM- THAT THAT- IS DIFFERENT
FROM THIS THEN THE COUNTY BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS. ARE ALREADY-
HAS THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO
ESTABLISH- THERE BUT THERE
COMPENSATION- AND- AND I'VE GOT
SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THAT
LANGUAGE THERE AS WELL MR
ALMOST AS WELL AS A SECTION B.
THAT I BROUGHT UP. THEY HAVE
SOME CONCERNS THERE ALSO. WELL
I MEAN DOES WELL I'LL BE HAPPY
TO BE ABLE TO DIG INTO THAT
SECOND PART BECAUSE I HAVEN'T
GIVEN A GIVEN THAT- THAT PART
BY MUCH MUCH THOUGHT I WISH
THAT WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.
THE OTHER DAY INTERVIEW IT
BROUGHT THAT THAT TO MY
ATTENTION SHORT SO I COULD HAVE
HAD ANSWERS FOR YOU. WELL TODAY
BUT ON THE ON THE LEFT. ON ON
THE LAST- A PART THAT IS JUST
CLARIFYING LANGUAGE. THANK YOU
AND- WE DID TALK A LOT ABOUT
THIS BILL WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
THE LOCAL I SAID. THAT MY
QUESTIONS HERE WOULD. CENTER
AROUND YOUR BILL IN THE STATE
WIDE. IMPACT WE HAD
CONVERSATIONS OF DIRECT-
MICROPROSE TWO SEMINAL COUNTY
ITSELF AND WE AGREED THAT. THAT
THAT IS SOMETHING IS THERE BUT
I'M NOT SURE WE COULD- TOTALLY
DIGRESS FROM TALKING ABOUT
SPECIFICALLY SAMBAR DINO
COUNTY. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE
SALARY INPUT TO IT. BECAUSE
WHEN WE LOOK AT THROUGHOUT THE
DIFFERENT COUNTIES FIFTY EIGHT
COUNTIES. ARE MANY HAVE AROUND
LOCAL INITIATIVES. AND YOURSELF
KNOWING- IN SAN MARINO COUNTY
THAT. THE DISK OF SALARIES HAS
ONE THAT HAS BEEN A HEATED
DEBATE NOT JUST IN TWENTY
TWENTY BUT IT GOES FARTHER BACK
INTO WHERE I CAN REMEMBER TWO
THOUSAND FIVE. AND THEN TWO
THOUSAND TWELVE THERE WAS
COMPETING MEASURES THAT TOOK
PLACE THAT ULTIMATELY THE BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS INITIATIVE ONE
THAT. ONE THAT WITH A CLOSER-
CLOSER PERCENTAGE THAN THIS
LAST ONE. IN A TWENTY TWENTY
CAME THE COMPETING MEASURES
THAT SET THIS FORWARD. SO IT
SHOWS A PATTERN OF THE PEOPLE
YOU STARTED OFF WITH YOUR WITH
YOUR- TOPIC IN YOUR TESTIMONY.
THAT IS A DEMOCRATIC.
INSTITUTIONAL RIGHT BUT I.
COUNTER AND SAY THAT IT'S ALSO
A DEMOCRATIC RIGHT FOR THE
VOTERS OF THE PEOPLE TO DECIDE.
THINGS THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND WE SEE HERE THAT
A PATTERN HAS BEEN SET. A
PATTERN HAS BEEN SET YEAH AND
THE LARGEST COUNTY IN THE STATE
OF SETTING SALARIES SO WHY. AND
I'M STILL WAITING FOR
CLARIFICATION ON B. AND I'M
HOPING THAT THAT WOULD GO BACK
TO THE ELECTORATE BECAUSE THAT
HELPS SOME. BUT ON SECTION
TWENTY FIVE THREE HUNDRED
THERE'S NO MENTION OF IT WHEN
WE KNOW THAT THAT'S AN ISSUE
THAT THE LOCAL LOCAL CONTROL AT
ITS FINEST. IS THE DEFINITION
OF SENDING THAT SALARY WHICH
THE TAXPAYERS OF ALL FIFTY
EIGHT COUNTIES PAY INTO THAT
GENERAL FUND TO PAY THE
SALARIES OF THOSE SUPERVISORS
AND I'M SAYING THAT THERE
SHOULD BE A VOICE. A COMPONENT
FOR THEM TO BE HEARD SUCH AS
THE PATTERN THAT WAS SET IN
SAMBAR. THIS LOCAL CONTROL
ISSUE FOR ME TO MAKE SURE THAT
VOICE IS BEING HEARD- AGREE
WITH YOU MISTER ALMOST IN FACT
AS WE AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON
THIS- AS YOU KNOW THERE HAD
BEEN SOME ISSUES IN THE PAST-
IN REGARDS TO YOU- SOME OF THE
LOCAL COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS TO- DECIDED- THAT
THEY WOULD- REYES THE EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION- IN TERMS OF
HEALTH BENEFITS AND OTHER
THINGS TO TRY TO PAD- THERE.
OTHER SALARIES- I DO THINK THAT
THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME LIMITS
TO WHAT- COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS CAN DECIDE THAT
THEIR OWN PAY- SHOULD BE AND SO
YOU AND I ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH
THAT- ON THAT THAT THAT MAY BE
AS WE AS THIS BILL MOVES
FORWARD WE CAN- WE CAN WORK ON
THAT- YOU KNOW TO MAKE SURE
THAT THERE ARE SOME SOME LIMITS
SO THERE ARE BAD ACTORS- THE
DATE THAT WE'VE GOT SOME
CONTROLS THAT ARE THERE. YEAH
THANK YOU FOR THAT. ALSO MEMBER-
BUT WE KNOW THAT- THAT THIS
CHECK A BALANCE OF THE LOCAL
GUY IS THE VOTE THE P. MUCH SO
THAT TERM LIMITS HE HERE IN THE
STATE LET. WAS OUT WITHIN A-
START IN THIS BY IN THE- THAT
WE TO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE TO
VOTE ON TERM LIMITS AS EARLY AS
TWO NINE. AND THEN LATER ON-
STARTED AND WENT BACK AGAIN TO
THE ACA PROCESS HERE TO GO BACK
TO THE PEOPLE THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO HAVE THAT VOTE ON
TERM LIMITS THAT WE ARE
CURRENTLY ARE UNDER NOW WITH
THE TWELVE YEAR CYCLE. SO THE
POINT IS IT'S NOT ABOUT. IN MY
ARGUMENT IS NOT JUST ABOUT
SAMBAR DINO COUNTY MY ARGUMENT
IS ABOUT THE VOICE OF THE
PEOPLE AND GETTING THEM
INGRAINED SO THAT THEY COULD
BETTER- TRUST THE GOVERNMENT
THAT SERVES THEM WHEN WE START
TO SET OUR OWN SALARIES WHEN WE
START TO SET. AREAS BECAUSE
CERTAIN ELECTIONS DIDN'T GO ONE
WAY OR ANOTHER WHEN THERE'S A
PATTERN AND WE COME STRAIGHT TO
THE STATE THERE'S A PROBLEM ON
LOCAL GOVERNMENT RIGHT WE SAT
IN TWO THOUSAND FIVE AT THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE BOARD WE
BLAMED. THE COUNTY FOR A LOT OF
ISSUES THAT WERE AFFECTING US
ON THE COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS WE BLAME THE STATE
FOR A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE
THAT ARE HAPPENING HERE AT THE
STATE LEVEL WERE WAITING FOR
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO
REIMBURSE US ON CERTAIN THINGS.
THIS IS A PROCESS THAT NEEDS TO
GO BACK TO THE WILL OF THE
PEOPLE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL CITY
COUNCILS HAVE ORDINANCES
INVOLVES TO SET UP THE SALARY
FOR MAYOR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS.
AND I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE
THE SAME IN THIS SITUATION AND
WE'RE WAITING FOR CLARITY ON
THAT SECTION B. AND THE
QUESTION IS WHAT THAT GO BACK
TO THE ELECTORATE FOR A VOTE
BECAUSE WE'RE CLEAR. RIGHT
ASSEMBLY MEMBER MAYES THAT.
TWENTY FIVE THIRTY THREE
HUNDRED DOES NOT EVEN. MENTION
GOING BACK. TO THE ELECTORATES.
I'M SO. WHAT'S WE DO REFERRING
TO THEIR MANAGER CAN WE GET
CLEAR IS WE HAVE CLARIFICATION
ON SO BE I HAVE. THE MIKE COME
SINCE THAT. SO ONE I CAN RIGHT
NOW IS THAT WE ARE LOW GO. SO
TALKING LOCAL. IF THIS SORT OF.
IN ELECTIONS THEY ARE STUDENTS
ON THE ELECT PROCESS WE MAY
WANT TO CONSIDER THAT BUT LET'S
SEE WHERE MISS ROSS IS WITH
THIS. AS OF RIGHT NOW LOOKING.
THAT'S A LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAS
ONE BECAUSE ON. IF THIS GIFT TO
GO TO A LOT. AND THEN THE WHERE.
THE NITTY GRITTY IN THE LAW FOR
LIKE MAY BE THE PLACE TO
ADDRESS PORSCHE OF IT I
UNDERSTAND MISTER. RAMOS YOUR
CAN FROM- SOME MATTER CHAIR-
WHAT WERE THE QUESTIONS THAT WE
REYES I THINK THIS WAS A TO THE
BELL- THE WILL THE PEOPLE WE
SINCE. OPPOSITE BLATTER'S COME
THROUGH- THAT ON THE HOWARD-
JARVIS TAXPAYER A SENSE OF NO
WORSE THE STRIP VOTER OF THE-
TO. THEIR PER LINE OF TERM AND
SET HEY OF COUNTY SUPER.
BECAUSE WE THE OUTCOME. OF AN
ELECTION. THIS IS A- A CHILD
FOR ME BECAUSE- IN THE FORM
LOCAL. THE VOICE OF THE P. WHAT
MOVE FOR THEY- US TO THE OFFICE
WERE IN. I WOULD. THESE THESE
THESE ARE TROUBLESOME FOR ME-
TO EVEN VOTE ON TODAY. AND SO
WITHOUT CLARIFYING SOME OF
THESE SIMPLE QUESTIONS ARE TWO
LINER THAT YOU SAID WAS JUST A
COUPLE SECONDS SEE A COUPLE
SENTENCES COULD LEAD TO A LOT
MORE DISCUSSION. THAT I WOULD-
RESPECTFULLY THE VOTING NO ON
THIS BILL. WELL LET'S THANK YOU
AS FROM A SE- AND I- YOU YOU
GOT ALL TO THIS- THIS JOB JUST
LIKE I GOT A- THIS JOB IN. I
DON'T ACTUALLY- VERY MUCH OF.
WHEN THERE IS DISSENT BECAUSE I
THINK THAT ACTUALLY THAT
DISSENT- MAKES OUR OUR
LEGISLATION. A BETTER TOO MANY
TIMES IN FACT THAT WE RUN BILLS
THROUGH COMMITTEE WE DON'T PAY
MUCH ATTENTION SO WANT TO THANK
YOU FOR YOUR- FOR YOUR HARD
WORK AND REALLY DIGGING INTO
THIS AND- SO I WASN'T BE ABLE
TO ABLE TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE.
THOSE ANSWERS- FOR YOU ON-
WHAT'S A MATTER OF EXISTING
EXISTING LAWN AS THIS MOVE PARK
FOR THIS BILL PROGRESSES-
HOPEFULLY- THROUGH THE NEXT
COMMITTEE MAYBE WE CAN WORK
WITH THE ELECTIONS COMMITTEE.
TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER SOME OF
THOSE QUESTIONS. THANK FOR. THE
FROM. BACK HERE A CRUSH. YEAH I
JUST AFTER THAT- THANK OF. I
JUST TO GIVE YOU A CHECK TO THE
CONCERN. THE ARRAY ABOUT PROPER.
THE PROPOSAL MEASURE K. I'M
SURE YOU HAVE A REASONABLE
EXPLANATION I WOULD LIKE TO
HEAR IT YEAH NO I MEAN I THINK
THAT THE VOTE THE VOTERS HAVE
SPOKEN IN FACT I WAS WATCHING A
LITTLE BIT- IN REGARDS TO ONE
OF THE BILLS- BEFORE YOU KNOW
TALKING ABOUT LOCAL MEASURES
AND AS I WAS LIKE CALL LOOKS
LIKE WE'RE GONNA HAVE A COUPLE
THESE CONVERSATIONS- HERE HERE
HERE TODAY. OF THE BILL BEFORE
YOU ON THAT THAT IS CONCERNED
WITH THE FUTURE- AT THE
PROSPECTIVE LEE- IF YOU WERE TO
ASK ME WHETHER IT'S A GOOD
IDEA- THAT WE HAVE- A FIVE
MEMBER BOARD OF SUPERVISORS I
THAT WILL HAVE AN AVERAGE OF
ONE AND A HALF TO TWO AND A
HALF YEARS CEMEX MATTOON I HAVE
YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND THEN
THEY'RE GONE. IF THAT'S GOOD
FOR GOVERNMENT FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENT I WOULD SUGGEST T
YOU- THAT- I DON'T- AND- AND DO
I THINK AS A MATTER OF POLICY
HERE FOR THE STATE I SHOULD BE
PUT IN SOME PARAMETERS- TO MAKE
SURE THAT- THAT PEOPLE'S VOICES
CAN BE HEARD THROUGH THE LOCAL
INITIATIVE A PROCESS
ABSOLUTELY- THIS. BILL BEFORE
YOU SAYS- THAT- THAT
PROSPECTIVELY THAT OUT IF
THERE'S THESE MEASURES THAT
COME UP LOCAL MEASURES THAT
COME UP- THAT THEY WILL- THEY
CAN LIMIT THE TERMS OF COUNTY
SUPERVISORS BUT FOR NO LESS
THAN- THAN THAN TWO TERMS AND I
THINK THAT MAKES AN AWFUL LOT
OF SENSE SO- YOU KNOW IF WE
NEED SOME CLARIFYING LANGUAGE
OF WE NEED TO GET SOME
ATTORNEYS AND LAWYERS TO GET IN
TO TALK ABOUT THE NITTY GRITTY.
I'D LOVE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT
AND AS IF YOU CONTINUE TO HAVE
CONCERNS MR MR LACKEY OR SOME
SOME QUESTIONS NEED I'D LOVE TO
BE ABLE TO WORK WITH YOU AND
ANY LEGAL COUNSEL TO TRY TO GET
THAT THIS IS THE FIRST HEARING
ON THIS ON THIS BILL- THIS IS
MY SEVENTH YEAR IN THE
LEGISLATURE I KNOW THAT WHEN
THERE'S LEGISLATION THAT COMES
BEFORE. IT'S USUALLY THE FIRST
HEARING- WE WILL TO BE ABLE TO
MOVE IT TO THE- TO. THAT
APPOINTMENT MAY IT BETTER SO-
THANK YOU. BLOW THANK YOU MADAM
TO. OF MINORS IS THAT THE BILL
DOES NOT TURN OVER THE RESULTS
OF AN ELECTION THAT HAS COME
BEFORE- THAT IS ONLY
PERSPECTIVE GOING FORWARD.
THERE WAS HOWEVER AN ELECTION.
A REFERENDUM THAT- I CREATED A
SCENARIO WHERE I IN- ONE
COUNTY. THERE WOULD BE A
RESTRICTION TO ONE TERM YOU
COULD ONLY BE IN OFFICE FOR
FOUR YEARS IS THAT CORRECT
THAT'S CORRECT. AND IT IS. UGH
MISTER MAYES POSITION ONE THAT
I SHARE THAT FOR YEARS IS TOO
SHORT A PERIOD OF TIME- AND IT
IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT SOMEBODY
CAN'T BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE
BUT AFTER DOING A BAD JOB BYE
BYE BY THE PEOPLE THAT COULD
CERTAINLY HAPPEN BUT GENERALLY
SPEAKING FOR YEARS IT HAS- A
SUB OPTIMAL TIME- TO BE AN
OFFICE AND GET A JOB DONE- AND
THAT'S SOMETHING. THAT I AGREE
WITH- SO IF I UNDERSTAND THE
BILL CORRECTLY. ANY ELECTION IN
A COUNTY- THAT SEEKS TO SET
TERM LIMITS COULD DO SO FREELY
EXCEPT THAT THE MINIMUM AMOUNT
OF TIME- ONE COULD SERVE WOULD
BE TWO FOUR YEAR TERMS AT THE
FACT THAT RIGHT THAT'S CORRECT
I THINK THAT'S EMINENTLY
REASONABLE- AND IT'S SOMETHING
THAT ALL SUPPORT AND I'M HAPPY
TO MAKE THE MOST. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER. YES TO THAT
QUESTION THAT SOME OF OUR
BLUMA- ASKED REALLY. CLARIFY
SOME OF MY- QUESTIONS AND
CONCERNS I BUT- SO THE BILL NOW.
STATES THAT THERE WAS A BALLOT-
WHICH PASSED AS WELL. AND WHICH
IS MY UNDERSTANDING IS A
CONFIRMED- THAT THESE TERMS
WOULD BE LIMITED TO THREE
CORRECT AND THAT IT'S IN A
SUPERVISOR PAY WAS TIED AT I
BELIEVE 80% TO THE ANNUAL. BASE
SALARY OF JUDGES IN THE
SUPERIOR COURT AND SO WITH BOTH
AND SO HELP ME UNDERSTAND- IF
YOU CAN. WITH BOTH OF THEM
PASSING BECAUSE MEASURE K.
RECEIVED A HIGHER THRESHOLD- IS
SO YOU KNOW I'M I'M JUST- IF
YOU COULD HELP. ME UNDERSTAND
BECAUSE BOTH OF THE PAST WHAT
IS THE YOU KNOW THE- STATUS OF
EACH. NO I THINK IT'S BEEN VERY
CLEAR THAT THE ONE I THINK THE
LAW IS CLEAR AGAIN I'M NOT NOT
AN ATTORNEY BUT THE ONE THAT
GETS THE MOST VOTES WITH THOSE
COMPETING- MEASURES OF WINDS-
WHICH IS I THINK WE WOULD ALL
AGREE THAT THAT IS- THAT THAT
IS THE RIGHT THING. I WANT TO
MAKE SURE TO BE TO BE CLEARED
FACT EVEN YEAH AND THE
ANALYSIS- ACTS I'M ACTUALLY
GOING TO BE VERY TRANSPARENT AS
WELL- WOULD I HAVE BROUGHT THIS
BILL BEFORE- HAD ASSEMBLY NO
COUNTY- AND NOT HAD TO THE
ISSUE I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE
BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT
ABOUT IT- SO IS THIS BILL. A
REACTION TO. THE COUNTY IT IS-
BUT IF THIS ISN'T THIS BILL
BEFORE YOU ISN'T ABOUT-ONE
COUNTY AT THIS BILL IS ABOUT
ALL FIFTY EIGHT COUNTIES- AND I
AM THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE
WHEN WE ESTABLISH- WHEN THE
STATE ESTABLISHES GUIDELINES TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE- FIVE
MEMBER BOARDS- WHAT WOULD BE
THE PARAMETERS. FOR ALL OF THAT
AS YOU SERVED- IF I REMEMBER
CORRECTLY- SOME OF THEM ARE
RIVAS YOU SURGEON AT EIGHT AT
THE COUNTY LEVEL- AND FOR ME- I
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S
CLEAR THAT PROSPECTIVELY GOING
FORWARD. THIS IS ABOUT MAKING
SURE THAT IF THERE WAS A LOCAL
A MEASURE- THAT THAT LOCAL
MEASURE STILL CAN ESTABLISH
TERM LIMITS BUT IT WOULD BE
LIMITED TO TWO FOUR YEAR TERMS
FOR A MAXIMUM OF EIGHT- INSTEAD
OF- INSTEAD OF ANYTHING LESS
THAN NOT. GONNA CUT IT KNOW
WHY- APPRECIATE THAT WAS YES I
DID SIR AT THE LOCAL- AS AS WAS
MENTIONED YOU KNOW THESE LOCAL
JOBS ARE CERTAINLY FULL TIME I
WAS PAID PART TIME THAT'S WHY I
HAD OTHER JOBS OR TO OTHER JOBS.
WAS BUT IS VERY CHALLENGING YOU
KNOW BUT CERTAINLY- YOU KNOW
KNOWING WHAT THE CONVERSATION
WAS I KNEW WHAT I WAS GET
MYSELF INTO IS EXCITED TO BE
ELECTED AND THEN NIGHT OF MY
LIFE MY WIFE LOOKED AT ME SAID
WHEN I GOT TO GO GO GET ANOTHER
JOB SO THAT'S WHAT I DID. BUT
NO- APPRECIATE THIS COME. ARE
THERE ANY OTHER COM. MISTER MS
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE BUT WE
HAVEN'T RIGHT WE HAVE. CAN'T
CAN MEET AN AWFUL LOT- I DO
THINK- THAT- AND WHEN IT
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH- THE
CHAIR- AND OTHER COMMITTEE AND
MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE AS WE
WORK THROUGH- THROUGH THIS
PROCESS TO MAKE SURE TO BE
ABLE. TO GET IT RIGHT- BUT- I
DO- BELIEVE WHOLEHEARTEDLY-
THAT FOR THE SAKE OF GOOD
GOVERNMENT I'M OUT ARE COUNTY
LEVEL THAT THIS BILL THIS BILL
IS NECESSARY- AND SO- WITH THAT
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH THIS
IS BEEN A YOU KNOW DIFFICULT
CONVERSATION- BETTER BROUGHT A
LOT TO THE- TO THE SURFACE THAT
WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT. WHERE
YOU ARE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT
COMMITTEE AND WHAT'S IMPORTANT
TO ME. IS THAT PEOPLE HAVE TIME
TO BE ON THE BOARD. AND I CAN.
I CAN TOTALLY UNDERSTAND I WAS
ON THE CITY COUNCIL I WAS LOST
FOR TWO OR THREE YEARS. I CAME
EVEN HERE LOS FOR COUPLE YEARS
SO. I THINK WE DO NEED MORE
TIME AND I THINK THAT PORTION
OF YOUR BILLS FAIR ENOUGH. AND
I THINK THAT PORTION FITS. BOTH
FEEL THE RIGHT BALANCE OF FOR
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. IN
OUR VOTERS BUT I WILL SAY I
WILL- SUPPORT THIS TODAY
BECAUSE I WANTED TO MOVE ON AND
THE REASON BEING IS THAT
THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS
LEFT. A PARTICULARLY THAT WE
AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT I'M FROM I
DON'T THINK ARE SUITED TO
ANSWER SOME OF THOSE ELECTIONS
QUESTIONS. AND I SUPPORT-
MISTER PROMISES. CONCERNS BUT I
WILL SUPPORT THIS TODAY SO WE
CAN GET MOVED ON. 
YOU HAVE A- THOROUGH
CONVERSATION WITH ELECT
COMMITTEE AS WELL HAPPY SO
THANK YOU. OKAY THE MOST TO DO.
ELECTIONS COME SECOND PLEASE
THE ROLL AND YOUR CURLY HI.
AGUIAR-CURRY I. I'VE LACKEY.
BLUE BLOOM I. BOERNER HORVATH.
RAMOS WELL MOST. TO ROBERT
RIVER. ROBERT WILL PASS. MADAM
MADAM CHAIR- THIS ONE I HOPE-
IS- IS A LITTLE LIGHTER-
ALTHOUGH I'M FACT I'VE GOT A
WHOLE SCRIPT HERE AND I'M JUST
NOT GONNA DO THE SCRIPT- I LOOK
FORWARD TO SOME CONVERSATION
HERE AS YOU REMEMBER- MADAM
CHAIR- IT A BILL THAT WAS
SIMILAR TO THIS CAME BEFORE-
THIS COMMITTEE- TWO YEARS AGO-
BECAUSE- I HAD BEEN DEEPLY
CONCERNED THAT ALMOST 60% OF
THE PEOPLE OF THE RATE PAYERS.
WITHIN IDEOLOGICAL SERVICE
TERRITORY OF IMPUTATION
DISTRICT WERE DISENFRANCHISED-
AND DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO
BE ABLE TO- TO VOTE AND SO WE
HAD A BILL- TWO YEARS AGO OF
THAT WOULD HAVE OF- THAT WOULD
HAVE MADE THE BOARD OF THE
IMPUTATION DISTRICTS- ELEVEN
MEMBERS- AND SIX OF THEM WOULD
HAVE BEEN IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY
TO PROVIDE THAT BALANCE BETWEEN
THE TWO- THE AS YOU REMEMBER A
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO- IT WAS A
PRETTY CONTENTIOUS- AND THE
REASON. FOR THAT- WAS- THE
FOLKS AT THE IMPALER GEISHA
DISTRICT HAD SOME VERY REAL
CONCERNS ABOUT- ABOUT THE BILL-
IN SPECIFIC THEY WERE VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR WATER
RIGHTS AND THE IMPACT OF HAVING
MORE THAN- YOU KNOW THE
MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE ON THEIR
BOARD COMING FROM RIVERSIDE
COUNTY THAT THAT COULD THREATEN
THEIR FUTURE WATER RIGHTS AND
WE HEARD THEM TRIED TO WORK ON
THAT WORK THROUGH THROUGH THAT-
THIS BILL BEFORE YOU- IS
ACTUALLY A WATERED DOWN
VERSION- OF WHAT WE HAD BEFORE-
THIS STILL PROVIDE SOME LEVEL
OF REPRESENTATION- IT WOULD
INSTEAD OF. HAVING SIX MEMBERS
I THAT WOULD BE ELECTED TO THE
BOARD- IT WOULD PROVIDE FOR ONE
PERSON- FROM THE RIVERSIDE
COUNTY- AREA OF THE ELECTRICAL
SERVICE TERRITORY TO BE ABLE TO
SERVE- AS AN EX OFFICIO MEMBER
OR NOT VOTE A NON VOTING MEMBER
OF THAT BOARD AND THEN IT
WOULD- WOULD HAVE AT THE
RIVERSIDE COUNTY LASKO AND THEN
IMPERIAL COUNTY LASKO. I DO A
STUDY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BEST
COME UP WITH. ARIGHT THE LEVEL
OF REPRESENTATION- AND- AND
MADAM CHAIR I ALSO IN HERE TO
REPORT TO YOU- THAT THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN- I MY
OFFICE- AND IMPALER GEISHA
DISTRICTS IS MUCH BETTER TODAY-
THAN IT WAS I JUST A COUPLE OF
YEARS AGO I THINK WE STILL
DISAGREE. ON ON THIS POLICY BUT
WE DO HAVE- LINES OF
COMMUNICATION THAT ARE OPEN-
THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES LOCAL
GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES ARE
VERY ENGAGED IN THIS ISSUE- AND
I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
THEM AS WE MOVE. THROUGH
THROUGH THE PROCESS. GREAT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- LET'S MOVE
ON TO WITNESSES IN SUPPORT ARE
THERE ANY IN THE GALLERY SEE
NONE- OPERATOR DO WE HAVE ANY
WEAKNESSES IN SUPPORT. YOU ARE
IN SUPPORT OF AB TEN TWENTY ONE
YOU MAY PRESS ONE AND THEN ZERO.
ONE MOMENT WHILE WE GET THEIR
LINE NUMBER. AGAIN I KNOW THIS
ONE AND THEN ZERO. AND IT WILL
GO TO A LINE OF. TWO SEVENTY
NINE YOUR LINE IS OPEN. YES
HELLO MADAM CHAIR THIS IS SCOTT
WEDGE ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA COALITION OF UTILITY
EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS THE STATE
ASSOCIATION OF ELECTRICAL
WORKERS IN IN STRONG STRONG
SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURE. WE
REPRESENT THE NINETY W.
REPRESENTS A MAJORITY OF THE
EMPLOYEES THAT ID. BUT WE ALSO
HAVE THOUSANDS OF MEMBERS. WHO
ARE UTILITY RATEPAYERS IN
RIVERSIDE COUNTY. AND WE FEEL
VERY STRONGLY THAT THERE NEEDS
TO BE REPRESENTATION ON THE ID
FOR. A VOICE FOR THOSE 60% OF
THEIR ELECTRICITY ELECTRICITY
RATEPAYERS NEED TO HAVE
REPRESENTATION THIS IS A
TENDENCY TAXATION WITHOUT
REPRESENTATION. WE HAVE HEARD
AS THE WORK FORCE AND ID WE
HAVE BECOME FAMILIAR WITH MANY
MANY MANY- CUSTOMER AND
CONSUMER REPAIR COMPLAINTS WERE
FOLKS DON'T FEEL THEY HAVE AN
ELECTED OFFICIAL THAT THEY CAN
TURN TO FROM THEIR OWN
COMMUNITY. AND FOR THOSE
REASONS WE COULDN'T URGE THE
COMMITTEE MORE. ADAMANTLY MOVE
THIS BILL LONG WE BELIEVE THAT
ASSEMBLY MEMBER MAYES HAS DONE
AN ADMIRABLE JOB OF STRIKING A
VERY FAIR BALLOTS THEN WE'D
ORGANIZE THE THANK YOU. THANK
YOU THANK YOU WE HAVE NO
FURTHER SUPPORT IN QUEUE AT
THIS TIME. OKAY I BELIEVE WE
HAVE SOME OPPOSITION TO THE
BILL. I'M LOOKING FOR A HENRY
MARTINEZ AS WELL AS THE JULIA
HALL. THEIR LIVES ARE OPEN
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. PLEASE
BEGIN- OKAY THANK YOU A GOOD
AFTERNOON A MAN CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT

INPUT. ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS AND
DETERMINE THE FUTURE OF IDC
ENERGY SERVICE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

A LONGSTANDING AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE TWO AGENTS AND
THEIR CONTENT. AND THEY
CONTINUE TO WORK ON BETTER AND
MORE FORMALIZED CROP
COOPERATION TODAY. THE BILL
WOULD ALLOW THREE NONVOTING
MEMBERS OUTSIDE ID TERRITORY
FIFTY ON THE BOARD. ALTHOUGH

THEY WOULD HAVE TO TWELVE A
FULL BOARD MEMBER AND BE PRETTY
CLOSE NEED DISCUSSION. IDEAS
THE IRRIGATION DISTRICT THE NEW
NONVOTING MEMBERS WHO PROPOSED
PURPOSES TO REPRESENT
ELECTRICAL CUSTOMERS WOULD BE
INTIMATELY INVOLVED IN
DISCUSSIONS RELATED TO WATER
RIGHTS AND WATER CONCERNS.
WHICH JEOPARDIZES THE
LONGSTANDING COOPERATION AND
POSITIVE WORKING RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THESE TWO REGIONS.

THEIR BEST INTEREST FOR THE
CHALLENGES TO BE SOLVED AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU ARE THERE ARE NOT ANY

THANK YOU VERY MUCH OPERATOR
LOTS OF OTHER ANY QUESTIONS OF
THE COMMITTEE. SEEING NINE
WOULD YOU LIKE TO DRIVE IN
MOTION. SO MOVE. MOTION FROM
FIVE ASSEMBLY MEMBER LUCKY IS
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BORA BORA-
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE I WOULD
I- THAT MADAM CHAIR I DID NOT
START OFF BY THANKING YOU AND
THE WORK THAT YOU ARE-
COMMITTEE HAS DONE- I ALSO I
DID NOT LET YOU KNOW THAT I
WOULD BE TAKING AND THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS- AND I'LL
BE HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO- TO BE
ABLE TO DO THAT SO THAT COULD
BE ADDED INTO TO THE MOTION
THAT WOULD BE. THAT BE
WONDERFUL- OF THE OPPOSITION-
IS RIGHT ALL THE THINGS THAT
THEY SAID WERE ABSOLUTELY
CORRECT AND I AM ALSO A BIG
BELIEVER IN THE IDEA OF LOCAL
GOVERNANCE- THAT THIS YEAR I
WISH THIS COULD BE SOLVED- ATTY
AT THE LOCAL LEVEL AND I WISH
THAT THE STATE WOULDN'T HAVE
TO. I TO GET INVOLVED IN THIS
AT THE CHALLENGES AS WE HAVE
OUR LOCAL AGENCY FORMATION
COMMISSION SO- THAT I SERVE-
COUNTY BY COUNTY- AND- AND WE
HAVE RIVERSIDE COUNTY THAT
WANTS ONE THING FACT THEY DID A
SERVICE REVIEW- BACK IN TWO
THOUSAND SEVEN- THAT SAID. THAT
THERE SHOULD BE THE RIGHT FOR
THOSE FOLKS TO BE ABLE TO- TO
VOTE AND THEN OTHER THE
IMPERIAL COUNTY LASKO WHO'S
ADAMANTLY OPPOSED BECAUSE DOWN
IMPERIAL COUNTY THEY DON'T WANT
TO HAVE TO GIVE UP ANY ANY
POWER ANY POLITICAL POWER TO-
THAT THAT THEY COUNTY IN FROM
THE NORTH. AND SO THE GOAL IS
IN FACT I THINK THE TERM IS
BEEN UNTENABLE- WE ARE IN AN
UNTENABLE POSITION- BECAUSE- IN
PURELY IRRIGATION DISTRICT DOES
FANTASTIC WORK IN FACT THEY
KEEP THEIR RATES ARE VERY LOW-
NOT JUST THEIR THEIR LOGICAL
RATES BUT ALSO THEIR WATER
OTHER WATER RATES AND THEY THEY
DO AN INCREDIBLE JOB. OF A
FIGHTING EFFORT FOR THEIR
COMMUNITY AT WHAT WHITES
UNTENABLE IS THAT WE HAVE A 60%
NOT 6% BUT 60% OF THE FOLKS
THAT ARE IN THEIR LOGICAL- A
SERVICE TERRITORY THEY DO NOT
HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO
CHOOSE WHO WILL SERVE THEM. ON
THEIR BOARD AND SO WE NEED TO
WORK ON THIS I DON'T THINK THE
BILL AS IT'S AS IT'S DRAFTED IS
PERFECT- WE DO NEED TO CONTINUE
TO KEEP WORKING THROUGH THE
PROCESS. BUT AGAIN- MADAM CHAIR

THE RIGHT DIRECTION WITH THE
AMENDMENTS I WILL BE SUPPORTING
YOUR BILL TODAY. I WILL TELL

SIMILAR TYPE. PROJECT BEFORE.
AND SOMETIMES WE JUST HAVE TO
FIGHT IT OUT AND GET DOWN AND

A COMMENT THIS SOME BILL IS
EXCELLENT. IT'S ABOUT AS
PERFECT AS YOU CAN GET. AND I
BASE THAT UPON- A FAMILY MEMBER
THAT DESIGNS BUILDS AND
PROGRAMS MANY OF THESE
FACILITIES- THIS BILL. IS
PERFECT IN THE SENSE THAT IT
RECOGNIZES. THE NEW TECHNOLOGY
THAT'S COMING OUT THERE WILL BE
IN THE FUTURE WITH FIVE G. AND
THEY'RE WORKING ON SIX G. THAT
WILL BE THE GIANT TOWERS SIX
CETERA THEY'LL BE LITTLE.

SPEAK I APOLOGIZE SIR. READ
THANK YOU GOOD AFTERNOON IS A
MIKE ON YES GOOD AFTERNOON
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS MARK
GRAHAM ON BEHALF OF KEEP CELL
ANTENNAS AWAY THERE ARE TWO
REASONS YOU SHOULD VOTE NO ON
THIS BILL HEALTH EFFECTS FROM
CELL ANTENNA RADIATION AND
LOCAL CONTROL THE FEDERAL
TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACT OF
NINETEEN NINETY SIX PRESERVES
LOCAL ZONING AUTHORITY WHY
SHOULD THE STATE ELIMINATE
LOCAL ZONING AUTHORITY THAT THE
TCA PRESERVES. A CELL ANTENNA
IS CURRENTLY AND SHOULD REMAIN
A MUNICIPAL AFFAIR AS THAT TERM
IS USED IN ARTICLE ELEVEN
SECTION FIVE OF THE CALIFORNIA
CONSTITUTION. THOUSANDS OF
STUDIES SHOW THAT LOCKED LEGAL
AMOUNTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
RADIATION CAUSES HARMFUL HEALTH
EFFECTS MANY OF THESE STUDIES
WERE PROVIDED TO THIS COMMITTEE
IN TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN ON SB
SIX FORTY NINE. THE UNITED
STATES NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF
HEALTH. THIRTY NOVEMBER TWO
THOUSAND EIGHTEEN FOUND CLEAR
EVIDENCE OF CANCER FROM CELL
PHONE RADIATION. IN TWO
THOUSAND SIXTEEN THE
INTERNATIONAL EMF SCIENTISTS
APPEAL SAID THAT
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION IS
HAZARDOUS IT CAUSES LEARNING
AND MEMORY DEFICITS AND
STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL
CHANGES OF THE REPRODUCTIVE
SYSTEM. THERE WAS A SIMILAR
RESOLUTION BY THE CALIFORNIA
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION IN DECEMBER
TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN. SECTION
TWO H. OF THIS BILL EXEMPTS
FIRE DEPARTMENT FACILITIES WHY
IS THAT MEMBERS WE NEED SOCIAL
EQUITY. IF THE CELL ANTENNA
RADIATION RADIATION IS NOT SAFE
FOR FIREFIGHTERS WHY IS IT SAFE
FOR THE REST OF US. YOU DO NOT
NEED A STATE LAW TO ENSURE THAT
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS COMPLY WITH
FEDERAL LAW. DOES THAT MAKE
SENSE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SHOT
CLOCKS IN THE FEDERAL
COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION HAS
SET THEM CURRENTLY LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS CAN AND DO REGULATE
CELL ANTENNAS WHILE ALSO
FACILITATING THEIR DEPLOYMENT.
THAT DEPLOYMENT IS ALREADY
HAPPENING VERY QUICKLY. WE RELY
ON LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO PROTECT
US. MANY CALIFORNIANS HAVE
WOKEN UP TO SUDDENLY FIND A
CELL ANTENNA ON THE STREET
LIGHT POLE OR THE UTILITY POLE
RIGHT OUT IN FRONT OF THEIR
HOUSE. AND THEY SUFER FROM
CONSTANT HEADACHES INSOMNIA AND
RINGING IN THE EARS AND MANY OF
THESE PEOPLE ARE LITERALLY
DRIVEN OUT OF THEIR HOMES
FORCED TO SELL AND MOVE.
MEMBERS TURN OFF YOUR CELL
PHONE IN YOUR WIFI AT NIGHT.
YOU WILL SLEEP BETTER AND YOU
WILL HAVE BETTER ENERGY THE
DURING THE NEXT DAY. AND THAT
IS YOUR PROOF THAT THE
RADIATION FROM THE WIFI AND A
CELL PHONE HAS BEEN AFFECTING
YOUR- CITIES MUST RETAIN THE
ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT ORDINANCES
AND AGREEMENTS PLEASE ARAMBULA.
YES SUCH AS THE OLD IMPLEMENTED
IN THE CITY OF ELK GROVE IN
ORDER TO PROTECT PUBLIC FACIL
PUBLIC FACILITIES AND ADDRESS.
THE SPECIFIC AND UNIQUE NEEDS
OF A LOCAL COMMUNITY I URGE YOU

DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT WE
MEAN BY WHEN THEY SHUT WHEN THE
SHOT CLOCK STARTS AND THEY WERE
CONCERNED ABOUT THAT- AND THE
OTHER ONE IS SOME HER AT
BELIEVE ME WE DO NOT INTEND. TO
CHANGE THE FEDERAL GUIDELINES
AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO
CHANGE- THE- IS TO HAVE A
REMEDY IF PEOPLE DON'T MEET
THOSE SO I GUARANTEE YOU THIS
BILL WILL NOT IMPERIL SAFETY
THANK YOU- IN ASKING ARRIVAL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- I
APPRECIATE ASSEMBLY MEMBER CORK
FREE WORK ON THE BILL AND ON
THIS ISSUE AS A WHOLE. AS YOU
KNOW REMOVING BARRIERS TO
BROADBAND DEPLOYMENT CONTINUES
TO BE ONE OF MY MOST PRESSING
PRIORITIES IF OUR DIGITAL
DIVIDE WASN'T STARK ENOUGH
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC. OF OUR
RELIANCE ON THE INTERNET THE
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT SUPPORTS IT
WAS NOT CLEAR ENOUGH BEFORE THE
PANDEMIC THESE CHALLENGES AND
OPPORTUNITIES SHOULD BE CRYSTAL
CLEAR NOW. THIS BILL CONTINUES
TO MOVE US IN THE RIGHT

INEQUITIES IN INTERNET ACCESS

ALTERNATIVE PROJECT DELIVERY
METHOD IS EFFICIENT AND ONLY
AFTER THAT FINDING CAN THE
BOARD. APPROVE A CONTRACT WE
HAVE TO DO THAT EACH TIME WE
HAVE TO UTILIZE WE WANT
UTILIZED DESIGN BUILD OR ANY
ALTERNATIVE DELIVERY METHODS
AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT CREATES
A TWO STEP PROCESS WHICH IS NOT
ONLY UNNECESSARY AND CUMBERSOME
IT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT THE
WEATHER AGENCY. IN CALIFORNIA
HAS TO GO THROUGH OVERTIME
DESIGN BUILD ANOTHER DELIVERY
MECHANISMS HAVE BECOME MUCH
MORE COMMON IN STATUTES OF- YOU
