COMMITTEE -- MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS I'M PLEASE TO THIS
MORNING TWO PERCENT EIGHTY SIX EIGHTY TWO A MEASURE THAT
WILL INCENTIVIZE CO HOUSING APARTMENTS CO HOUSING ALSO
KNOWN AS COMMUNAL LIVING IS TYPICALLY MADE UP OF UNITS THAT
ARE SMALLER THAN FOUR HUNDRED SQUARE FEET BUT THAT OFFER
A SHARED KITCHEN AND DINING AREA THESE ARE TYPICALLY MORE
AFFORDABLE THAN THE AVERAGE STUDIO OR ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT
SO FOR EXAMPLE IN SAN FRANCISCO WHERE THE AVERAGE RENT IS
ALSO WELL OVER THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO -- DEVELOPMENT
STAR CITY DEVELOPMENT COMPANY STAR CITY BUILT CO HOUSING
UNITS THAT AVERAGE TWO HUNDRED SQUARE FEET AND RENTED THEM
FOR FOURTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH WHICH IS LESS THAN HALF
OF THE CITY'S AVERAGE ROUTE THESE NATURALLY OCCURRING
AFFORDABLE UNITS ARE IDEAL FOR THOSE WHO DON'T QUALIFY
FOR SUBSIDIZED HOUSING BUT CAN'T COMPETE FOR MARKET RATE
APARTMENTS WHAT WE ARE GONNA FREQUENTLY CALLED -- MISSING
METAL THE CO HOUSING MODEL CAN ALSO BE USED TO HOUSE
SENIORS AND FORMERLY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS SINCE COMMUNAL
LIVING PROVIDE A UNIQUE MIX OF BOTH PRIVACY AND COMMUNITY
SUPPORT UNFORTUNATELY LOCAL RESTRICTIONS THAT REQUIRE A
MINIMUM UNIT SIZE OR A MAXIMUM DENSITY HAVE MADE IT DIFFICULT
TO BUILD CO HOUSING APARTMENTS EIGHTY SIX EIGHTY TWO WILL
ALLOW CO HOUSING PROJECTS TO QUALIFY FOR INCENTIVES
UNDER THE DENSITY BONUS LAW AND HELP MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER
OF UNITS WITHIN AN ALREADY COSTLY PARCEL OF LAND THE
MEASURE WILL REQUIRE DEED RESTRICTED AFFORDABLE UNITS IN
EXCHANGE FOR CONCESSIONS AND INCENTIVES SUCH AS INCREASED
DENSITY AND REDUCED PARKING EIGHTY SIX EIGHTY TWO WILL
HELP DIVERSIFY THE HOUSING STOCK OFFERING BOTH NATURALLY
OCCURRING AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THE OPTION FOR COMMUNAL

APARTMENT ASSOCIATION ARE YOU THERE DEBORAH
YES I AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM CHAIR HI GOOD MORNING
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS THIS IS DEBORAH CARLTON WITH
THE CALIFORNIA APARTMENT ASSOCIATION YOU KNOW THE ELLIS
ACT IS NOT ABOUT SPECULATORS IT'S ABOUT PROTECTING RENTAL
PROPERTY OWNERS IN RENT CONTROLLED CITIES THAT'S HOW
THE ORIGINAL LAW WAS WRITTEN DESPITE THAT RECOMMENDED
AMENDMENTS BUT IT'S ABOUT RENT CONTROL CITIES AND OWNERS WHO
CAN NO LONGER MAINTAIN THEIR BUILDINGS LARGE BUILDINGS
DO NOT CONVERT TO OWNERSHIP HOUSING AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THE CONVERSION SOME OWNERS EVEN TENANTS COME
TOGETHER TO BUY BUILDINGS SO THAT THEY CAN OWN THE HOUSING
AND MOVE IT AND WHILE CA DOES NOT REPRESENT THESE OWNERS NOR
DO WE ENCOURAGE OWNERS TO SELL AND GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS
OFTEN IT'S THEIR ONLY SOLUTION IN SOME RENT CONTROL CITY'S
OWNERS CAN NO LONGER MAINTAIN THE BUILDING WITH THE INCREASED
RENTS AREN'T ANSWER INCREASED TAXES SEWER FEES AND OTHER
FEES WHILE FACING VERY LOW RENTAL RATES EVEN MORE SO --
MANY OWNERS HAVE LIVED WITHOUT RAIN FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS WITH
COBIT THE LEGISLATURE HAS DONE MUCH TO PROTECT TENANTS IT
CREATED STATEWIDE RATE CAPS AND WITH KOBE DID ALLOW TENANTS
TO CHECK A BOX AND CLAIMED COBIT HARDSHIP BRING THEM FROM
RENT PAYMENTS AN INFECTION THE LEGISLATURE PROTECTED THEM
EVEN IF THEY AS WE NOW ARE DISCOVERING MAKE TOO MUCH MONEY
TO QUALIFY FOR RENT RELIEF AND THEY'RE STILL NOT PAYING THE
RENT AB EIGHT FIVE FOUR AGAIN ATTEMPTS A STRIKE ANOTHER BLOW
YOU WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THESE OWNERS TO SELL TO
SOMEONE WHO WISHES TO MOVE INTO THE BUILDING AT -- NOW
THE ELLIS ACT PROVIDES TENANTS WITH EXTENSIVE PROTECTIONS
WHICH WE AGREED TO IN GOOD FAITH THE OWNER MUST GIVE A
ONE YEAR NOTICE AND PAY VERY HIGH RELOCATION FEES AND SAN
FRANCISCO FOR EXAMPLE OFTEN IN EXCESS OF FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS THANK YOU AFTER I'M SORRY AFTER THAT THREE AND
SIXTY FIVE DAY NOTICE TO TENANT -- CAN STILL CONTEST AND --
THE SALE OF THE BUILDING -- YOU KNOW WHILE OWNERS OF MAY
-- HAVE OWNED THE BUILDING FOR LONGER THAN FIVE YEARS
THE NEW OWNER OR OWNER TENANTS WHO WISH TO BUY MOVIE AND
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO SO YOU CURRENTLY LIMITED THE

SPECS HELLO GOOD MORNING MY NAME IS AMBERLEY LESLIE I'M
CALLING ON BEHALF OF HOUSING CALIFORNIA IN SUPPORT THANK YOU
AND I'M SURE THERE IS NO ONE ELSE TO SIGNAL THAT THEY WISH
TO SPEAK THANK YOU KNOW IF WE CAN -- BRING IT BACK TO
COMMITTEE MEMBERS I KNOW SOME REWARD HAS -- COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR I WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR
FOR BRINGING THIS FOR A NEW HE'S PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO
THIS EFFORT AND WITH A LOT OF PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS OUT THERE
TO REALLY TRY TO -- HAVE BRING FOR A MEANINGFUL BILL THAT'S
GOING TO PROVIDE JUSTICE FOR THAT MOST NORMAL CALIFORNIANS
THAT NEED IT THE MOST -- I HAVE -- -- -- I'M VERY STRONGLY
SUPPORTIVE OF THIS EFFORT AND I WANTED TO JUST -- ASK A POINT
OF CLARIFICATION ABOUT THE ELLIS ACT ON DOES IT CURRENTLY
AND AS I'M READING ANALYSIS AND SEMI DOCUMENTARIANS IS
IT CURRENTLY ONLY APPLY TO JURISDICTIONS THAT HAVE RENT
CONTROL OR DOESN'T APPLY TO ALL JURISDICTIONS FOR COMMONSENSE
A QUESTION -- FOR CALIFORNIA NEEDED HIS MICROPHONE IS
THE MICROPHONE YOU SOME THE GOVERNMENT CODE SEVEN SIXTY
DOES NOT DIFFERENTIATE IT IS A STATE WIDE AND CAN BE INVOKED
ANYWHERE AND I'VE SEEN IT INVOLVED IN COUNTIES THAT DO
NOT HAVE RENT CONTROL BUT IT'S RARE I MEAN THE REASON IT'S
INVOKED THIS TO PREEMPT LOCAL RENT CONTROL GOT IT AND SO AND
DOES IT ONLY DOES THE ELLIS ACT CURRENTLY ONLY APPLIED
TO RENT CONTROLLED UNITS OR DOES IT APPLY TO ALL RENTAL
UNITS WELL IT APPLIES TO NEW RESIDENTIAL UNIT OKAY THANK
YOU SO I SAW THAT YOU WERE TAKING COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
ARE PROPOSED COMMITTEE MMS AT LIMITED TO -- JUST ONLY UNITS
WITHIN A JURISDICTION THAT HAS RENT CONTROL POLICIES IN
PLACE IS THAT CORRECT THAT'S CORRECT SO -- AND HAVE BEEN
REPORTED AFTER YOUR DESIRE AND THE COMMITTEE'S DESIRE -- I
THINK WE'RE AT A POINT RIGHT NOW THOUGH IN CALIFORNIA WHERE
THE SAME PRINCIPLE HERE REALLY APPLIES TO ALL RENTERS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA -- WE SEAT MASS INCREASE IN PRICES THERE'S
A LOT THIS UNDERLYING -- WHY THAT IS -- BUT FOR -- YOU KNOW
THESE INDIVIDUALS WHERE YOU'RE WANTING TO SEE A LIMITED TO
JUST EXISTING RENTAL AND TO THE RENT CONTROLLED UNITS WITHIN
A JURISDICTION THAT ALLOWS FOR RENTAL CONTROL -- IT'S
ONLY A SUBSET OF OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT -- TO REALLY TRY
TO ADVANCE THE PRINCIPLES I THINK YOU'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE
UNDER THIS BILL -- I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SEEN IT YOU KNOW MOVE
FORWARD A LITTLE BIT PRODUCT NOT BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY
MORE CALIFORNIANS WHO MAY NOT HAVE THE ADVANTAGES OF LIVING
IN THE CITY -- WITH THOSE PROTECTIONS OR I'D BE LIVING
IN A BUILDING THAT ARE SUBJECT TO THOSE PROTECTIONS SO THE
LOOK AT THE LIMIT OF EARLY FIFTY FOUR IS GOING TO BE ON
WHAT SOMEONE LIMITED -- SO IF THAT IS SOMEHOW WE DON'T MOVE
THE BILL FORWARD AS AS AMENDED -- BUT I JUST REALLY WANT TO
AGAIN COMMEND YOU FOR THE WORK YOU'RE DOING -- I THINK YOU
KNOW TO A LOT WHEN I RECOGNIZE YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHERS
THAT MAKE -- INVESTMENTS THAT COULD TAKE RISK ON THAT I I
BELIEVE ARE GOOD LANDLORDS WHO WANT TO GET IN THERE AND
PROVIDE A MULTI UNIT HOUSING FOR SO MANY THAT THAT NEED
ACCESS TO THE RENTAL MARKET I ALSO COMMEND MANY OF THE GOOD
ACTORS THAT ARE OUT THERE -- BUT WHEN YOU'RE GETTING INTO
THIS OPPORTUNITY YOU KNOW YOU'RE MAKING A LONG TERM
INVESTMENT AND THE IDEA THAT -- YOU KNOW WE CAN'T LIVE WITH A
FIVE YEAR PROHIBITION ON ACTION OF THIS NATURE DOESN'T SIT
WELL WITH ME -- IF IF YOU'RE COMING IN YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT
INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR SOME TIME -- THAT
YOU KNOW ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY DISABLED OR ELDERLY OR LOW
INCOME -- THEY'RE GOING TO NEED IF YOU WANT MAKE IT LONG
TERM DECISION ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH THAT PROPERTY -- THAT
IS -- YOU KNOW ALL WITH STILL WITHOUT WELL WITHIN YOUR RIGHTS
TO BE ABLE TO DO SO -- IT IS JUST NOT FAIR -- ESPECIALLY
UNDER THE CURRENT LANDSCAPE THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WITH --
ALL YOU KNOW WHAT OTHER OTHER OPTIONS ON THE OTHER OPTIONS
ARE -- YOU KNOW IMPOSSIBLY -- MORE EXPENSIVE -- HAVE A RENTAL
MARKETS AND THAT'S EXPERIENCE THAT WE'RE SEEING HERE ON THE
STREETS RIGHT NOW TODAY ON OUR IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD TODAY SO
THANK YOU FOR BEING SUPPORT HAPPY TO MOVE THE BILL --
YOU KNOW FOR THE AUTHORS SOME WISHES AND I WANT TO THANK
I'M SURE WE WE HAVE A MOTION TO BE THE SECOND MISCREANT
AND MR SEROTONIN SPEAK
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND -- CONGRATULATIONS THANK YOU
HEARING AND HAPPILY JOIN YOU IN THIS COMMITTEE AS WELL --
THANK YOU TO THE AUTHOR FOR INTRODUCING AND WORKING ON THIS
-- INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT POLICY
OKAY YOU GUYS CAN OKAY I'M VERY IMPORTANT POLICY AND I WANT
TO THANK -- ARE LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL WHO APPROVED --
UNANIMOUSLY I YESTERDAY TO TO SUPPORT -- YOUR LEGISLATION AND
TO ALL OF THE -- RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES THAT
HAVE CALLED AND I WAS HEARING SEVERAL MEMBERS ON THE L.
A.
COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER DEMOCRATIC
GROUPS THAT ARE IN SUPPORT OF YOUR LEGISLATION AND THIS IS
A PRIORITY AND I ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE --
TENANT ADVOCATES THAT WE HAVE MADE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS
THAT HAVE EXPRESSED JUST BE INCREDIBLE HURT FULL STORIES
OF PEOPLE IN MY COMMUNITY THAT ARE BEING EVICTED OUT
OF THEIR HOMES BECAUSE OF THE ELLIS ACT OF MY COMMUNITY MY
DISTRICT IS ONE OF THE FASTEST GENTRIFYING AREAS WITHIN THE
CITY OF LOS ANGELES I HAVE MET WITH RESIDENTS IN ECHO
PARK IN LINCOLN HEIGHTS IN EL SERENO AND HIGHLAND PARK AND
ACROSS THE DISTRICT -- AND UNDERSTOOD THEIR STORIES IN
TERMS OF HOW BECAUSE OF THIS RAPID GENTRIFICATION IN MY
COMMUNITY FOLKS ARE COMING IN THEY'RE BUYING UP BUILDINGS
THEY'RE SAYING THEY'RE GONNA KEEP THE RENTERS AND THEN
USING THE ELLIS ACT TO ACTUALLY AFFECT THEM AND NOT HAVE THEM
RETURN I WILL SHARE A PERSONAL STORY I USED TO BE A RENTER
IN HIGHLAND PARK SMALL LITTLE ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT I WAS
PAYING NINE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DOLLARS AND WHEN I MOVED OUT
THAT APARTMENT BEGAN TO RUN FOR TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT I COULD HAVE AFFORDED THAT
RENTED MY OWN COMMUNITY AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE IF YOU'RE
TRYING TO SURVIVE OFF A LIVING OF THE MINIMUM WAGE IN THE
CITY OF LA WITH THE INCREDIBLE COST INCREASE TO A QUALITY OF
LIFE HOW INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT IT IS TO LIVE IN THE CITY THAT
ONE HAS GROWN UP IN BECAUSE OF THESE INCREDIBLE AS ARISES
IN IN RENT OR IS ACTUALLY MORE EXPENSIVE TO RENT THEM TO EVEN
TO TRY TO PAY A MORTGAGE ON A HOME SO IT'S THIS BACKWARDS WAY
IN WHICH WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE SOLUTIONS TO AN INCREDIBLE
PROBLEM AND SO I JUST WANNA THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK I WOULD
LOVE TO BE ADDED AS A AS A CO AUTHOR JOINT AUTHORS TO HELP
YOU ENSURE THAT THIS GETS OUT OF THE ASSEMBLY AND ON TO THE
SENATE AND MOVES FORWARD AND GETS TO THE GOVERNOR'S DESK
BECAUSE WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO DO THE SAME THING OVER AND
OVER AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULT IN THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE SOLUTIONS TO OUR HOUSING
CRISIS SO THANK YOU THANK YOU MISS CARILLO MR SACK I THINK
YOU -- ARE BRINGING YOUR BILL FORWARD TODAY AND ALLOWING A
GOOD DISCUSSION ABOUT IT BUT ONE OF THE CONCERNS I HAVE WITH
THIS BILL IS HAVING COME FROM AN AREA IN WORK AREA WHERE YOU
HAVE A LOT OF RENTAL HOUSING -- A LOT OF IT IS PRETTY SUB
STANDARD IN A LOT OF IT IS INDIVIDUALLY OWNED YOU'LL HAVE
SIX UNIT APARTMENT NINE UNIT APARTMENTS THAT ARE OWNED BY
PEOPLE THAT ARE NOW ELDERLY THEY THEY BOUGHT THE PROPERTY
WAY BACK YOU KNOW AND THE THE FIFTIES AND SIXTIES AND THEY'RE
NO LONGER CAN TAKE CARE OF THESE PROPERTIES -- AND FRANKLY
THEY WERE FOR THE PROPERTIES ARE FIRE TRAPS -- THEY NEED
TO BE REMOVED AND REBUILT AND THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO DO
THAT BUT IT'S NOT GOING TO BE WHAT THE MOM IN THE POT IT'S
GOING TO BE WITH A DEVELOPER THAT COMES IN AND TAKES SIX TO
NINE UNITS IN WITH A DENSITY BONUS LAWS IS ABLE TO PUT IN
TWENTY FIVE UNITS SO WHAT IT DOES IT HELPS ON THE SUPPLY
SIDE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THAT'S THE PROBLEM WE DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH SUPPLY IF SOMEBODY GETS EVICTED THEY SHOULD BE EASILY
ABLE TO MOVE OVER TO ANOTHER APARTMENT BUT THOSE APARTMENTS
DON'T EXIST AND THE REASON THEY DON'T EXIST IS BECAUSE WE
MADE IT TOO EXPENSIVE TO BUILD AND GET THROUGH A PROCESS IN
CALIFORNIA NOT JUST IN RURAL AREAS ARE NOT JUST IN SUBURBAN
AREAS BUT IN URBAN AREAS ALSO WHEN YOU HAVE TO SPEND FOUR
HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A DOOR TO BUILD AFFORDABLE
UNITS THAT'S NOT AFFORDABLE AND UNTIL THAT IS CORRECTED
WE CAN DO ALL OF THESE THAT WE WANT IT'S NOT GOING TO FIX THE
PROBLEM -- I FEEL SORRY FOR THE TENANTS I FEEL SORRY FOR
THE OWNERS BROUGH BECAUSE WE'RE WE'RE TRYING TO WE'RE TRYING TO
PICK SIDES INSTEAD OF WORKING ON WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS
AND THAT IS THE COST THAT IT TAKES TO BUILD A UNIT YESTERDAY
I WAS SITTING IN A COMMITTEE THEY PASSED THROUGH IN ORDER
ARE A -- THEY POTENTIAL BILL THAT RAISES THE COST OF A
HOUSE BY THIRTY THOUSAND MORE DOLLARS AS I AS YOU KNOW I
BROUGHT UP THE POINT YOU GUYS YOU TAKEN FOR FOR HER FIFTY
THOUSAND TO FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A DOOR WE'RE
NOT GONNA GET WE'RE NEVER GOING TO CATCH UP ON THIS PROBLEM IF
WE DON'T START FOCUSING MORE ON THE SUPPLY ISSUE AND IN THE
PROCESS THAT'S RESTRICTING THAT SUPPLY SO I APPRECIATE THESE
EFFORTS BY EVERYBODY TO TRY TO ADDRESS THIS BUT KEEPING
PEOPLE IN SUB STANDARD HOUSING BECAUSE YOU WE DON'T WANT THE
EVIL DEVELOPER TO COME IN AND BUILD MORE HOUSING THAT IS
WHEN THEY'RE DONE BUILDING IT'S JUST GONNA COST A LOT BECAUSE
IT STILL ISN'T GOING TO HELP THAT THAT -- RENT -- ISSUE
MY KIDS LIVE IN LA THEY RAN THEY PAY WAY MORE THAN I DID
EVER FOR A HOUSE MORTGAGE -- IT'S IT'S TERRIBLE AND IN ITS
UP INCUMBENT ON US TO REALLY LOOK AT WHAT THE REAL PROBLEMS
ARE WORK ON THOSE AND AND NOT MAKE IT WORSE BECAUSE TO ME
THIS IS THIS IS RESTRICTING PEOPLE FROM TAKING WHAT ARE
SUB STANDARD NINETEEN THIRTIES AND FORTIES STRUCTURES AND
KEEPING THEM BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GO THROUGH A PROCESS
TO IMPROVE AND UNFORTUNATELY THAT PROCESS IS PEOPLE HAVE
TO MOVE OUT SO YOU CAN CLEAR THE PROPERTY BUILD NEW AND BUT
THEY NEED SOMEWHERE TO GO WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT AND SO
BY KEEPING THEM IN PLACE WHERE THEY ARE IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE
THAT PROBLEM EITHER IT'S JUST GOING TO KEEP A SUB STANDARD
SIXTY NINE UNIT APARTMENT OR A TOWN HOME OR CONDO IN PLACE
SO -- YOU KNOW FOR ME FOR ME I HESITATE TO TO BE IN FAVOR OF
ANY BILLS LIKE THAT ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS NOT THE PROBLEM
AND JUST MAKING IT SO THAT WERE STUCK WHERE WE ARE SO --
I APPRECIATE IT THOUGH AND IT AYE AYE WE DO AGREE WITH YOU
WHOLEHEARTEDLY WE HAVE TO GET A HANDLE ON THIS -- BUT I JUST
FEEL LIKE WE'RE ATTACKING THE WRONG WRONG PLACE THANK YOU CAN
I RESPOND TO THE CHAIR -- IF YOU COULD RESPOND ARE CLOSING
AND TO THE CLERK OF COUNCIL AS THEIR SPECIFIC QUESTIONS AND MR
THANK YOU CHAIR REX OF THE SOUNDS REALLY GOOD -- I REALLY
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND
YOU KNOW MY MY FAMILY'S KIND OF LIVED THE AMERICAN DREAM
IN MANY WAYS I WAS BORN INTO AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND NOW
NOT ONLY BE HOMEOWNERS BUT WE ACTUALLY HAVE RENTAL PROPERTY
MOST OF WHICH ARE THERE GOES A SENIOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING
OR SECTION EIGHT FAMILIES -- AND IT OVER ME THINK ABOUT
THE THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO ON HOUSING THERE ISN'T ONE
THING THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH IN
DOING THEM AT LEAST MAYBE NOT AS FAST AS WE CAN OR SHOULD
BUT WE'VE ACTUALLY MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION WHETHER
YOU KNOW SB NINE IN TERMS OF DENSITY INTERFILM EIGHTY USE
AND WE'RE TRYING -- BUT WITHIN THE LIMITATIONS OF WHAT WE CAN
DO WITH LOCAL JURISDICTIONS -- AND WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO
IS TAKE TWO STEPS FORWARD ONE STEP BACK WEHRUM ON THE ONE
HAND YES WITH THE BILL MORE SUPPLY BUT WE'RE LOSING TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF AFFORDABLE RENTAL UNITS AT THE SAME TIME -- A
AND SO GETTING YOU KNOW GETTING AROUND THE INTENTION OF ELLIS
I GOT THE I SEE THIS IS AS SOLIDIFYING -- THE UNDERLYING
INTENTION OF THE L.
SECOND ATTEMPT BUT IN PROTECTING RENTERS AND THERE
IS NO EXCUSE -- ESPECIALLY IF SOMEONE'S OWN PROPERTY FOR
DECADES TALK ABOUT THE VALUE OF HAVING THAT PROPERTY IF THEY
WERE TRULY GOT IT DECADES AGO -- YOU KNOW FOR SOMEONE TO HAVE
SUB STANDARD HOUSING AND THAT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE LANDLORDS
THAT THEY AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S ALWAYS IMAGES OF YOU
KNOW THE THE LIKE TO BE PUT OUT THERE OF ALL MODERN POPS WHAT
HAVE YOU -- BUT THE REALITY IS THAT IF YOU HAVE A PROPERTY --
OF THE IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE -- YOU KNOW THEY'RE
NOT JUST COMPLY ONCE YOU HAVE AN ABILITY BUT TO CREATE AN
ENVIRONMENT THAT -- IS NOT JUST LIVABLE BUT IS QUALITY AND --
YOU KNOW THE THE THE ANECDOTAL OF ALL THIS IS GOING TO KEEP
PROPERTIES ARE BEING FIXED UP WHAT HAVE YOU -- THAT THAT'S A
DECISION MORE OFTEN THAN NOT BY THE LANDLORD AND THEIR PROFIT
MARGINS AND AND AND WHAT THEY WANT TO SQUEEZE CENTER VENTURES
WE'VE SEEN THAT FAR TOO MUCH AND IT GOES TO THE POINT OF
WANTING TO GET RENTERS OUT SO YOU CAN BRING NEW VENTURES
AND AT MARKET RATES AND THAT'S REALLY THE ULTIMATE SQUEEZE
THAT -- YOU KNOW AGAIN THE DAY IS A DEBATE BETWEEN LANDLORDS
AND TENANTS POSSIBLY IF WE HAD TO PICK A SIDE I'M GONNA PICK A
SIDE OF THOSE THAT WE COULD END UP HOMELESS -- THESE ARE NOT
NORMAL CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS OR AGREEMENTS WAS JUST THINKING
ON BUYING A SANDWICH FROM YOU HERE'S A RECEIPT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT SOMEONE'S HOME IT'S WHERE THEY LIVE AND -- YOU KNOW THAT
TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND -- I CONTROL HOMES IN LA THEY'RE
GONE NOW -- THAT'S A THAT'S TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND MORE
-- FAMILIES THAT WE HAVE TO FIND HOUSING FOR -- IN IN AN
INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE MARKET AS EVERYONE HAS ACKNOWLEDGED
AND SO -- I COME I COMMEND YOU AND I WOULD LAS YA SE IS
EVEN THE OPPOSITION IN THE -- STATEMENT ADMITS IT'S A A
VERY SMALL NUMBER AN EXTREMELY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF ACTIONS
THAT THAT'S THE CASE THE MOST THE BIG DEAL IT IS TRULY A SORT
OF EXTREMELY SMALL -- IT WHAT I WOULD SAY ON THE ONE HAND
WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL OF THIS WAY OF STREAMING SMALL BUT TO
THOSE THAT ARE BEING AFFECTED BY IT THE CHANGES OUR WHOLE
LIFE AND SO ON THE ONE HAND I DON'T THINK IT'S GONNA BE
OVERLY BURDENSOME ON THOSE THAT TRULY -- HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS
IN TERMS OF RENTERS ARE -- BUT LANDLORDS AND AND BUYING A
PROPERTY -- BUT IT CAN BE LIFE CHANGER FOR THOSE OTHERWISE
WOULD BE LEFT WITHOUT A HOME AND SO ABSOLUTELY SUPPORT IT
AND WOULD LIKE TO JOIN AS A PRINCIPAL AUTHOR -- IF IF THE
AUTHORS -- PREFERENCE THANK YOU MISTER KALRA ANY OTHER
QUESTION OUR CINEMA QUICK SILVA
CAN ON A QUESTION OF THE AUTHOR IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN
THE AMENDMENT THAT YOU DID TAKE YES I AM HAPPY TO EXPLAIN
THAT SO WE TOOK THE AMENDMENT TO LIMIT THE SCOPE ONLY TO
RENT CONTROLS OR SECTIONS AS OUR CAL EXPLAINED SO NOW THIS
WOULD ONLY AFFECT TWENTY ONE OUT OF FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO
CITIES IN CALIFORNIA AND NOW I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE I WISH
YOU WERE BROADER SENSE I THINK BY A SPECIFIC TARGET THE MOST
NORMAL RIGHT NOW FOLKS WHO ARE RENT CONTROLLED UNITS RIGHT NOW
IS THE -- THE SPURNING APPROACH AT THE MOMENT SO THAT'S THE
KIND OF THAT SEEMINGLY TOOK
SO THE COMMENTS THAT -- I AM I'M GOING TO MAKE OUR ARE
MIXED IN THE SENSE THAT -- THIS DECISION ON THE ALICE ACT IN
THE CHANGES YOU'RE BRINGING FORWARD IS NOT JUST A ONE
YEAR DISCUSSION I WAS HERE IN TWENTY TWELVE TWENTY THIRTEEN
TIME WAS VERY DIFFERENT AT THIS TIME THE HUGE DIFFERENCE
THAT I HAVE SEEN UNDER HOUSING JUST AS A WHOLE IS OF COURSE
THE SPECULATOR MARKET NOW IF YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS
ALMOST TEN YEARS AGO AND EVEN WHEN I WAS ON COUNCIL IT WAS
A VERY DIFFERENT TIME AND TWO THOUSAND FOUR TWO THOUSAND
EIGHTEEN TWELVE WHEN I SERVED WE WEREN'T EVEN TALKING ABOUT
HOMELESSNESS ON THAT SO SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES WHO SERVED ON
LOCAL GOVERNMENT WILL KNOW THAT BEFORE OUR EYES WE HAVE SEEN
ONE OF THE WORST CRISIS IS OF OUR TIME AND THAT IS LITERALLY
PEOPLE NOT ONLY LIVING ON THE STREET THAT ARE HOMELESS
BUT ARE DYING ON THE STREETS SO AS A LEGISLATOR I HAVE TO
TAKE IN WHAT I CONSIDER PASSED INFORMATION PRESENT AND THEN
LOOK TOWARDS THE FUTURE AND AS MY COLLEAGUE ASSEMBLYMEMBER SAY
ARE TO ASSESS SOME OF WHAT HE SAYS REALLY DOES MEAN SOMETHING
WHICH IS WHAT ARE WE DOING NOW TO BUILD AFFORDABLE UNITS AND
ARE THEY REALLY AFFORDABLE IF WE CAN'T GET THIS PRODUCTION
MOVING AND WE COULD SPEND ALL DAY AND WE DID SPEND MANY MANY
DAYS OVER THE -- RECESS TALKING ABOUT HOW DO WE MOVE FORWARD
WITH HOUSING PRODUCTION BECAUSE THAT'S REALLY ONE OF THE ONLY
WAYS THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET TO START TO SEE SOME TYPE
OF MARKET RATE AFFORDABILITY IS BY HAVING THAT SUPPLY AND
DEMAND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS A VERY MEASURED POINT ON
ONE OF THE TOWARDS WAS THAT WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE SITTING IN
RENTAL UNITS MARKET RATE NOT NECESSARILY AFFORDABLE THAT
SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET IN THE HOUSING MARKET BECAUSE THEY
HAVE TO SALARIES MAY BE WELL OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND BUT
THERE AREN'T THE UNITS FOR THEM TO MOVE INTO AND THEY'RE
HOLDING THOSE UNITS WHICH THEN -- PEOPLE WHO ARE STARTED
COMING OUT OF COLLEGE TRYING TO GET IN THERE MOVED OUT OF
THOSE UNITS BUT IN THIS CASE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABLE
UNITS I DID HAVE A MEET WITH A FEW PEOPLE OF DISCUSSED IT AND
LIKE I SAID ON THE SPECULATOR MARKET ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE
NOT JUST SEEN IT AND RENTALS OR SEEN IT AND HOUSING SOME
OF OUR SHOWS I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WATCH BUT I KNOW A GOOD
DECADE DECADE AGAIN I STARTED WATCHING I THINK IT WAS SIX
OR UPPER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND WE ALL THOUGHT IT WAS
KIND OF A FUN SHOW AND I DID TO MAGNOLIA HOMES OR WHATEVER
THEY'RE DOING IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY AND THEN THEY
SELL IT FOR PROFIT THIS ALL SEEMS THAT YOU KNOW BUT OUR
ISSUE IS THAT AS OUR SUPPLY IN CALIFORNIA SHRINKS THIS NOW
EVEN WITH GREAT INTENTIONS IT REALLY STARTS TO LIMIT FOR OUR
ENTRY LEVEL BUYERS SO I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS BILL TO GET
TODAY I DO HAVE CONCERNS -- BUT THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO
IS EXASPERATED A PROBLEM THAT WE SEE BEFORE OUR EYES THAT WE
CAN NOT A RACE NO MATTER WHAT WE WANT TO SAY WE HAVE A TENT
CITY NOW OUTSIDE ON FOURTEENTH STREET ON THE PERIMETER OF OUR
CAPITAL THIS IS NOT HERE EVEN IN NOVEMBER OR WHEN WE ARE IN
RECESS AUGUST SO THIS IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION IT'S WHAT WE SEE
AND THE GREAT COUNTY OF ORANGE COUNTY WHICH WE PRIDE OURSELVES
ON BUSINESS AND TOURISM WE HAVE OVER THIRTY PEOPLE DYING
A MONTH ON THE STREETS OF ORANGE COUNTY WE HAVE TO DO
BETTER AND IF THIS AT LEAST CAN KEEP PEOPLE HOUSE THAT ARE IN
THOSE UNITS THAT IS SOMETHING I'M WILLING TO SUPPORT ON THE
OTHER HAND AS A TEAM HERE AND IN OUR BUILDING WE HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO CUT OUT ALL THESE BARRIERS TO PRODUCTION
AND GET BUSY BUILDING BECAUSE WE'RE NOT DOING THAT THANK YOU
THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
FROM THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS OKAY -- ED SMM RELIEF YOU'D
LIKE TO CLOSE AND FEEL FREE TO DRESS YOUR COLLEAGUES HERE
BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ROBUST CONVERSATION I REALLY
DO ENJOY -- A DEBATE ABOUT IT I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY A COUPLE
THINGS IS THAT UNDER THIS BILL REFLECTIVE OF A COMPROMISE
THE LONG TERM LANDLORDS SAY WHO OWNED PROPERTY SINCE THE
NINETEEN FIFTIES OR NINETEEN SIXTIES STILL CANALSAT CAN
STILL USE THE ELLIS ACT THE FIVE YEAR HOLDING PERIOD
ONLY APPLIES A FIVE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP NO MATTER WHEN THAT
STARTED COULD BE NINETEEN FIFTY FIVE COULD BE TWO THOUSAND FIVE
AS LONG AS IT'S FIVE YEARS YOU CAN STILL USE THAT RIGHT --
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE REBELS ACT TO LEAVE THE RENTAL MARKET
SO WE BUILT THAT INTO THE BILL TO MAKE SURE THAT A LONG TIME
LANDLORDS WHO PERHAPS IN THE CASE WHO ARE AGING OUT AND CAN
NO LONGER TEND TO THE RENTAL PROPERTIES THAT'S FINE THAT'S
OKAY THE STILL CAN USE ALSO ACT AND IF THIS BILL WERE TO
PASS THE STILL ARE FREELY ABLE DO THAT THIS BILL IS TARGETED
TOWARDS PROPERTY SPECULATORS WHO IN VERY RECENT HISTORY
BY A PROPERTIES IN WITHIN THE FIRST ONE TO FIVE YEARS FOR
THEM LIKE THAT I REMEMBER WHEN THE FLIP UNITS LIKE THAT IT
DOES NOT CREATE A NET NEW UNITS THERE ARE NO NEW UNITS YOU'RE
CONVERTING A FORMER UNITS TO MARKET RATE UNITS SO IN EFFECT
THAT WORSENS THE HOUSING CRISIS UNFORTUNATELY AND I AGREE
WITH YOU I THINK THE IDEAL WORLD IS WHERE WE A PLENTIFUL
SUPPLY WHERE IF SOMEONE WERE UNFORTUNATE DISPLACED AND HAD
TO MOVE OUT FREELY AND EASILY BE FIND ANOTHER PLACE OF
COMPARABLE STANDARD COMPARABLE PRICE BUT THAT'S UNFORTUNATE
WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW SO THIS MEASURE IS NOT INTENDED
TO BE PRODUCTION MEASURE BUT IT IS A DEFENSE MEASURE DEFENSE
AGAINST INCREASING HOMELESSNESS THE GRANTING EVICTION AND ALSO
CLARIFIED UNDER EXISTING LAW BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S SOME --
MISINFORMATION OUT THERE UNDER EXISTING LAW UNDER AB FOURTEEN
EIGHTY TWO WHICH WAS PASSED THE COUPLE YEARS AGO BY OUR
PREVIOUS HOUSING CHAIR -- THE INTENT TO OCCUPY RESIDENTIAL
PROPERTY BY THE OWNER OR THEIR FAMILY IS STILL A NO FAULT JUST
CAUSE EVICTION AND WE INTEND TO DEMONSTRATIVE CENSURE MODEL
RISEN TO PROBABLY SO SAVY THAT FAMILY SOMEONE TO HOLD ON TO
THE SUB STANDARD UNIT AND THEY WANT TO REMODEL IT THEY COULD
STILL UNDER EXISTING LAW VIC FOLKS TO REBUILD -- BUT STILL
EXISTING LAW SO TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS THAT THE FACTS ARE
OUT THERE THAT THOSE LONG TERM SMALL MOM AND POP LANDLORDS
STILL HAVE THEIR RIGHTS THEY CAN STILL -- UCL SACK BECAUSE
I THINK THE RESULTS -- SPREAD THE SMALL MOM POOR MOM POPS
WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IS EXPLOITATION BY VERY LARGE
ACTORS AND I CAN'T REALLY IMAGINE IN THE POST TWENTY
EIGHTEEN WORLD OF MANY SMALL MOM POP WINERIES CAN MUSTER THE
KIND OF CAPITAL RIGHT NOW IN THIS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE MARKET
TO BUY A PROP IS A QUICKLY I WE WANT TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS
OF SMALL MOM POP MY LORDS BUT ALSO MAKE SURE THAT VULNERABLE
TENANTS THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS TENANTS ACROSS CALIFORNIA
ARE NOT FACING THE REALITY OF HAVING TO SLEEP ON THE STREETS
OR BECOME HOMELESS OR DESTITUTE THAT'S A REAL PROBLEM WE HAVE
SO AGAIN WHY THANK YOU ALL FOR THE GREAT CONVERSATION TODAY
AND URGE YOUR IPHONE THANK YOU THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER
LEAVE FOR BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD AND FOR YOUR TENACIOUS
SUPPORT -- ON THE BILL AND -- AS MENTIONED THE BILL WOULD
LIMIT THE USE OF THE OIL SECTOR THOSE PROPERTY OWNERS WHO
HAVE MAINTAIN OWNERSHIP FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS -- I WILL BE
SUPPORTING THE MEASURE TODAY -- YOU KNOW THE L.
SECTORS ORIGINALLY ENACTED TO LET PROPERTY OWNERS LEAVE THE
RENTAL HOUSING BUSINESS BUT ALL TOO OFTEN WE DO KNOW THAT
THIS IS USED BY SPECULATIVE REAL ESTATE BUYERS WHO BUY A
PRINT CONTROL BUILDINGS AND THEN -- FLIP THEM ESSENTIALLY
THE CONDOS AND I WILL SAY I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS --
ON THE DICEY FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND YOU KNOW DO I
THINK THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS IS AN ALL OF THE ABOVE -- THIS
PROBLEM IT'S AN ALL THE ABOVE SOLUTIONS IS WHAT WE NEED
SO THAT DOES MEAN SUPPORTING THINGS LIKE SUPPLY PRODUCTION
BILLS LIKE SB NINE AND OTHERS THAT PRODUCE HOUSING AND SO
AS YOU ALL KNOW I'M A BIG SUPPORTER OF THOSE TYPES OF
BILLS BECAUSE I DO AGREE MISTER SECTOR WE DO HAVE TO BUILD
MORE HOUSING BUT IT ALSO MEANS WE HAVE TO PROTECT OUR MOST
VULNERABLE ANNABLE TENANTS TO AVOID A HOMELESSNESS -- AS A
MEMBER AT KALRA HAS SUGGESTED SO I WILL BE -- SUPPORTING
THE BILL TODAY THE MOTIONS DO PASSED AS AMENDED THE ASSEMBLY
COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS -- WE HAVE A MOTION BY A SEVEN
MEMBER BOARD AND A SECOND BY A SENTIMENT ON THE SEVEN
MEMBER CARILLO PLEASE TAKE A ROLL WICKS HI HI THEY ARE
DON'T KNOW THEY ARE NO CARILLO
KOREA I'D GABRIEL GABRIEL I KALRA KALRA AYE KILEY
HIGHLY NO QUICK SILVA COOK SILVA AYE WARD WARD I
THE BILL IS OUT
AND WE WILL GO BACK TO FILE ITEM ONE ASSEMBLY MEMBER GARCIA
RIGHT YEAH YOU KNOW I
YEAH WE WILL OFFER SOME SOLUTIONS
THE WORD
DO YOU
YEAH
WE ARE NOW BACK ON FILE ITEM ONE ASSEMBLY WOMAN
GARCIA EIGHTY SIX SEVENTY TWO YOU MAY BEGIN S.
THANK YOU THIS BILL ESTABLISHES AN INCENTIVE PROGRAM TO WRITE
GRANTS TO LOCAL PUBLIC AGENCIES TO FACILITATE THE CONVERSION
OF MUNICIPALLY OWNED GOLF COURSES INTO AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AND OPEN SPACE AGAIN THIS IS VOLUNTARY OR COMMUNITIES
THAT FEEL THIS MEETS THEIR NEEDS -- I LIVE IN THE CITY
OF ALL OF OUR AGENTS WORKING CLASS COMMUNITY YOU'VE HEARD
ME TALK ABOUT IT AND REGRET LOW INCOME ON TOP OF THE LIST
OF WHAT KINDS OF THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO BE ON INCLUDING
LACK OF HOUSING LACK OF OPEN SPACE A LOT OF POLLUTION OUT
THERE FROM MY HOUSE ALONE I HAVE ABOUT SEVEN LOCAL GOLF
COURSES THAT ARE ALL SUBSIDIZED BY THE TAXPAYERS OUT THERE --
AND LIMIT OUR AXES OUT THERE JUST IN ONE CITY ALONE I HAVE
TO EIGHTY HOLD OFFICES NEXT TO EACH OTHER ARE SEPARATED
BY A HALF A MILE OUT THERE AND SO I THINK AREAS LIKE
THIS I HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RETHINK THE SPACES AND STARTERS
RESTED NUMBER OF ISSUES OUT THERE AND SO THESE AT INCIDENT
DOLLARS IDENTIFIED IN THE LEGISLATION WILL GIVE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ANOTHER TOOL IN THEIR TOOLBOX TO MEET THEIR
RENOWNED NUMBERS WHILE ALSO GIVING LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS
THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE IN A SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HOMES OUT
THERE LAST RECESSION -- THE CHURCH TALKED ABOUT HAVING THE
AT LARGE TOOLBOX OF SOLUTIONS AND THIS IS JUST ANOTHER --
I THINK SMALL OF PIECES THAT DISCUSSION AS WELL I HAVE A
LOT OF DENSITY IN MY DISTRICT AND OTHER THAN BROWN FEELS --
THE ONLY OTHER SPACE BECAUSE THERE TO LOOK AT OUR THESE
UNUSED GOLF COURSES I WALKED BY ONE EVERY DAY I'M HOME --
AND I WOULD SAY WITHIN A MONTH TIME I PROBABLY SEE SIXTY FOR
THE WHOLE MONTH THERE ARE IN A COMMUNITY THAT HAS SIXTY
THOUSAND RESIDENTS OUT THERE ALSO THIS BILL REALLY ALLOWS
THE SISTER TO RETHINK BOTH ARE HOUSING REQUIREMENTS IN OUR
OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENTS FOR VERY PARK OR IN MY COMMUNITY
THERE'S A GOAL BY THE GOVERNOR -- THIRTY BY THIRTY WHICH
ATTEMPTS TO SET ASIDE THIRTY PERCENT A WILDLANDS COASTAL AND
LAND AND WATERS AND OPEN SPACE TO PROTECT CALIFORNIA'S EVERY
CITY -- AND I THINK OPENING OUR GOLF COURSES TO INCLUDE
OPEN SPACE AS A WAY TO HAVE A RETHINK THAT IN THE URBAN
SETTINGS LIKE MINE I WANT ONE MORE TIME REITERATE THAT THIS
IS VOLUNTARY AND JUST GIVES LOCAL AGENCIES AND OTHER TOOL
TO RETHINK THEIR PROFITS BACK HOME TO ADDRESS THEIR NEEDS AND
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER
GARCIA I BELIEVE WE HAVE -- TWO WITNESSES IN SUPPORT AND
TWO WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION I WANT TO REMIND WITNESSES YOU
WILL HAVE TWO MINUTES I WILL BE KEEPING A TIMER SO TO KEEP
US ON TIME HERE -- AND OUR FIRST WITNESS IN SUPPORT IS
JOINING US BY PHONE ELIZABETH HANSFORD ARE YOU THERE YES
FROM HERE MY NAME IS ELIZABETH CAMP BURKE I RUN THE ORANGE
COUNTY YIMBY YES IN MY BACKYARD GROUP CALLED PEOPLE FOR HOUSING
ORANGE COUNTY -- WE ARE STRONG SUPPORTERS OF THIS BILL AND AND
VERY GRATEFUL TO THE ASSEMBLY WOMAN FOR ARE MOVING FORWARD
WITH THIS IDEA -- SO CITIES IN COASTAL CALIFORNIA ARE LOOKING
FOR SITE TO ACCOMMODATE ARENA NUMBERS INCLUDING THE MUCH
LARGER REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE GOTTEN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
-- ESPECIALLY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING -- AND YET WE HEAR FROM
CITIES ALL THE TIME YOU KNOW WE CAN'T WE CAN'T BUILD WERE BUILT
OUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY LAND WELL HERE'S THE LAND AND IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT THAT WE CONSIDERED THE CITY ON SITE BECAUSE ONE
OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO REDUCE THE COST OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING YOU KNOW THAT THE COST PER DOOR IS TO USE PUBLICLY
OWNED SITES -- ANOTHER BENEFIT IS THAT GOLF COURSES ARE LARGE
PARCELS AND WE CAN INTEGRATE THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING INTO
A LARGER HOUSING AND OPEN SPACE PLAN TO CREATE NEW
NEIGHBORHOODS ARE RIGHT NOW -- CITIES ARE SCRAMBLING TO FIND
YOU KNOW SITE BUT THEY OWN SOME OF WHICH ARE LIKE YOU KNOW IN
INDUSTRIAL AREAS THAT YOU KNOW I MEAN WILL USE THEM IF WE HAVE
TO BUT WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER TO HAVE YOU KNOW COMMUNITIES THAT
OFFER A RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES AND PRICE POINTS AND TO BE
ABLE TO CREATE A NEW COMMUNITY AROUND OPEN SPACE AND THAT'S
WHAT A GOLF COURSE GIVES YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO -- I WAS
A PLANNING COMMISSIONER FOR THREE YEARS IN THE CITY WHERE
I LIVE AND -- THE PROJECT WHERE WE FACE THE MOST OPPOSITION AND
WHAT COUNCIL WAS RELUCTANT TO MOVE FORWARD WERE ONES WHERE
THEY SAID OH YOU KNOW WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT WE
HAVEN'T WE HAVEN'T SEEN LEADS AND THIS WOULD GIVE FUNDS TO
CITIES TO START THAT PROCESS TO START PUTTING FORWARD THOSE
RENDERINGS WHAT IS THIS GOING TO LOOK LIKE TO KIND OF GET
COMMUNITY BUY IT -- AND THEN I GET THE LAST THING I'LL SAY IS
THAT YOU KNOW WE REALLY HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES HOW WE WANT
TO USE OUR PUBLIC RESOURCES DO WE WANT PUBLIC LAND AND
PUBLIC RESOURCES TO BE USED TO SUBSIDIZE AN EXPENSIVE HOBBY OF
A FEW PEOPLE OR WOULD WE RATHER USE THAT PUBLIC RESOURCE CAN
PROVIDE YOU HOUSING OPPORTUNITY FOR MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING
MANY WHO BEEN SHOT OUT OF HIGH OPPORTUNITY COMMUNITIES WHERE
THE GOLF COURSES ARE LOCATED -- AGAIN WANT TO REITERATE WHAT
THE COUNTS -- TRY THAT SOME WOMAN SAID YOU KNOW THIS IS A
VERY OPTIONAL IT'S AN OPTION IT'S ONE TOOL IN THE TOOLBOX AT
THE TOP OF THE CITY COUNCIL THE IF YOU COULD WRAP UP THANK YOU
OKAY YEAH THAT'S FINE THANKS THANK YOU ANNA
OUR NEXT A WITNESS IN SUPPORT -- DAVID BARBOZA
RIGHT
DAVID ARE YOU THERE
DAVID BARBOZA MADAM CHAIR WE'RE SHOWING THAT HIS MIND IS ACTIVE
IN THE CALL WE'RE NOT SURE IF HE'S THERE OR NOT DAVID IF
YOU'RE MUTED COULD YOU UN MUTE
LET'S MOVE TO ARM WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION WILL TRY
TO GET DAVID -- AFTER THEM OUR FIRST WITNESS IN
OPPOSITION IS CRAIG KESSLER CRAIG ALLOWED TWO MINUTES
MORNING THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS
YOU TODAY GREAT KESSLER REPRESENTING SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA GOLF ASSOCIATION AND THE CALIFORNIA WINES WITH
GOLF I'LL BE VERY WITH RESPECT TO EXISTING LAW THERE'S NO
DISCUSSION ANYWHERE IN THE ANALYSIS OF THE AUTHOR AND
THE CONVERSION OF PUBLICLY ON GOLF COURSES THE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT DIVISION BY THE BILL WOULD VIOLATE THE EXTENT
PARK PRESERVATION ACT OF NINETEEN SEVENTY ONE IT WOULD
VERY LIKELY LEAD TO WHAT THE STATE PASSED LIKELY NEED TO
YEARS OF LITIGATION WHICH WE BELIEVE WILL LIKELY RESULT
EXPECTED NOTIFICATION OF IT SIX SEVENTY TWO THE STAFF ANALYSIS
POSITS THE CONCLUSION THERE'S NOT SUBSTANTIAL PRESIDENT THE
COMMERCIAL GOLF COURSES TO OTHER USES IS BECAUSE THE PARK
PRESERVATION ACT THERE'S BEEN A SUBSTANTIAL BAR UNDERSTOOD
IS ONE OF SINCE NINETEEN SEVENTY ONE SPECTER'S FISCAL
AFFECT THE MOST RECENT JANUARY DRAFT OF THE BILL HAS DROPPED
A FIFTY MILLION DOLLAR PRICE TAG PRIOR SEPTEMBER NINTH
DRAFT AS NOW DRAFTED THE BILL GIVES NO IDEA OF THE SCOPE OF
THE BILL'S INTENTIONS THAT'S SOMETHING BLANK TO BE FILLED
IN LATER YES -- AS WE AND I MIGHT ADD MANY THIS APOLOGIES
LONG GOLF COURSES THANK LIKELY THE PARK RESERVATION
ACT APPLIES ANY PROCEEDS FROM HOUSING DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE
MORE THAN EATEN UP BY THE PARK RESERVATIONS ACT REQUIREMENTS
THE PROCEEDS OF THE TRANSACTION WOULD HAVE TO BE USED BY THE
CITY'S REQUIRE SUBSTITUTE PARK LAND AS SECTION FIFTY FOUR
OF FIVE THE PUBLIC RESOURCES CODE REQUIRES IN QUOTE BY
GENERALLY THE SAME PERSONS USE THE EXISTING PARK LANDS
OF CELERY ALTHOUGH MANY AND WE DO AGREE INTERPRET THAT TO
MEAN THAT A RECREATIONAL USE ANOTHER COPY SATISFIES THE
REQUIREMENTS MURSCHEL HANDLE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS DOES
NOT THIS REPRESENTS A SERIOUS CONTRADICTION THAT AFFECTS
NOT LAW YES -- WITH RESPECT TO THE ECONOMIC REFORMS OF
THE GOLF IS CHEN MY THAT I'M QUITE FAMILIAR WITH THE TWO
GOLF COURSES IN ROUGHLY A MILE AND A HALF AND REACH OTHER

THOUSAND SIX ASSEMBLY WRAPPED UP BUT I THINK THE NEXT SPEAKER
IN OPPOSITION WILL SPEAK TO THE ECONOMIC PERFORMANCES
THAT THIS RUSH TO YOUR BILL AS LITTLE THE FALSE PROMISES

PROBLEMS THAN IT SOLVES AND ESTABLISH A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT

I'M SURE THERE IS NO ONE ELSE THAT SIGNALED THAT THEY WISH
TO SPEAK ON THIS BILL THANK YOU OPERATOR -- ANY QUESTIONS
FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS FOR THE AUTHOR MR WARD THANK YOU
ONE OF THEM THANK THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD OUT
NOTHING THAT I SEE HERE IN THIS BILL IS COMPELLING THE
-- THAT OF THE CLOSURE AND RE USE OF OF GOLF COURSES BUT
RATHER AT LEAST THE CONTROL TO THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS THAT
OWNED THE GOLF COURSES AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS SETTING UP AN
OPPORTUNITY TO HELP INCENTIVIZE THEM TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT
EASIER TO MAKE THAT TRANSITION HAPPEN WANT TO COMMEND YOU FOR
REALLY TRAINING THIS TOWARDS OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE KIND OF
FOR TWENTY FIVE PERCENT -- LOW INCOME HOUSING ON SITE AS WELL
AS PRESERVATION OF OPEN SPACE AS WELL I THINK IT'S A REALLY
-- TAILORED WAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HELP FOR
USE THINGS THAT ARE PROBABLY FEELING OR OTHERWISE UNDER
PERFORMING -- THAT JUST GIVES THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ANOTHER
TOOL IN THE TOOLBOX SO THANK YOU FOR THAT AND I'M HAPPY TO
MOVE THE BILL YOU MUST WHERE NECESSARY TO I THANK YOU SIR
ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT IN FACT I KNOW A COMMUNITY THAT IS
HAVING A GOLF COURSE LOOKED AT BY A DEVELOPER TO DO EXACTLY
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IT'S A PRIVATE COURSE THOUGH AND
IT STRUGGLING -- WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS MUNICIPAL
COURSES GOVERNMENT ON COURSES CITY OWNED OR WHATEVER A LOT
OF THOSE COURSES ARE LOCATED IN AREAS WHERE WE HAVE OTHER
BILLS THAT ARE SAYING HEY WE DON'T WANT AFFORDABLE HOUSING
BUILT THERE BECAUSE IT'S NEAR FREEWAY FOR ITS NEAR TRANSIT
QUARTER THAT -- THERE WHICH IS A HIGH DENSITY A LOT OF
-- -- -- WHAT THEY THINK WILL MAKE IT WORSE FOR FOLKS THAT
LIVE IN THOSE AREAS -- HEALTH WISE AND EVERYTHING ELSE IT
ALSO FLIES IN THE FACE OF THE EFFORT TO FIND SOMETHING FOR
OUR USE ESPECIALLY IN INNER CITIES TO HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE
-- JUST SITTING AROUND -- JUST NOT HAVING ANY RECREATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES AT ALL I'VE SEEN A HUGE EXPANSION IN THE
AMOUNT OF KIDS THAT ARE BEING INVOLVED IN GOLF SEEMS LIKE
EVERY HIGH SCHOOL NOW HAS A GOLF TEAM THEY DIDN'T USED TO
HAVE THAT AND AND I'VE HAD AN COMMUNITIES HAVE THE ABILITY
TO DO THESE CONVERSIONS IT'S NOT NECESSARILY YOU DON'T NEED
A GRANT FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT ALTHOUGH IT WOULD HELP
IF THEY EVER GET TO THE PART WHERE THEY HAVE FEES BUT WHEN
YOU TAKE THE PRACTICALITY OF TAKING A LARGE OPEN SPACE AREA
AND THEN TURNING IT INTO HIGH DENSITY -- ESPECIALLY IN IN
THERE IS THE INNER CITY AREAS THAT DIDN'T HAVE THE BENEFIT OF
-- OF OF HAVING THE -- MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY CONCEPT
DOWNTOWN BUT WE IN MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITIES YOU'LL
NEVER GET PAST SEQUEL C.
WILL NOT ALLOW THAT TYPE OF DENSITY TO BE ADDED IN TO WHAT
WAS ALREADY APPROVED BUY A CD FOR MASTER PLANNED COMMUNITY
SO THE INFRASTRUCTURE IT THAT'S BUILT IN IT IS NOT BUILT TO
HANDLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND IT'LL NEVER GET TO SEE WHAT
UNLESS WE CREATE MORE SEQUEL EXEMPTIONS FOR THOSE THINGS
AND THEN YOU'RE DEFEATING THE PURPOSE OF SEQUEL IN THE FIRST
PLACE SORRY EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING IS IS IT SEEMS COUNTER
INTUITIVE TO SOME OF THE THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH AND
I KNOW THAT I'VE THE GOOD WILL OF OF TRYING TO ADDRESS THIS
I'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THAT THE PROCESS IS WHAT'S KILLING
THIS PROJECT THAT I KNOW THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO DO THEY HAVE
THE BACKING THEY HAVE THE THE FINANCES THEY CAN'T GET THROUGH
THE PROCESS THEY CAN'T GET THEIR SEQUEL AND THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO NOT BE ABLE TO BUILD OUT PROJECT SO WHAT IT'S GOING
TO BE IS A BUNCH OF VACANT LAND WHICH LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
OKAY WITH VACANT LAND BUT YOU KNOW UNTIL WE ADDRESS THOSE
OTHER THINGS GRANTS ARE FINE BUT IF IF WE DON'T IF WE
DON'T FIX THE PROCESS THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO BUILD
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS
ASSEMBLY MEMBER CARILLO THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR -- JUST TO
THE AUTHORED FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES THIS ONLY APPLIES
TO -- GOLF COURSES THAT ARE OWNED BY CITIES AND COUNTIES
TO LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES IT IS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT VOLUNTARY
-- OFTENTIMES THESE GOLF COURSES BECAUSE THOSE LOCAL
MUNICIPALITIES MORE MORE MONEY TO JUST SIMPLY UP KEEP THEM
WHILE THEY ARE UNDER UTILIZED -- VOLUNTARY NOT MANDATE AS MY
COLLEAGUE STATED TWENTY FIVE PERCENT MUST BE AFFORDABLE LOW
INCOME HOUSING AND ALSO FIFTY PERCENT AT LEAST HAS TO REMAIN
AN OPEN SPACE -- LIKE A PARK SOMETHING SIMILAR OF COURSES
ARE CURRENTLY NOT NECESSARILY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC IN
WHICH THEY ARE LOCATED AND CORRECT CORRECT THANK YOU
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS WITH THAT
WILL LET YOU CLOSE ASSEMBLY WOMAN CAREER GARCIA THIS THIS
BILL IS PERMISSIVE AT THE ONLY TALK ABOUT QUALITY OF LIFE
THERE'S NO PART OF YOUR LIFE AND A HALF ACRES UPON ACRES
FENCED UP AND MY COMMUNITY MEMBERS CANNOT ACCESS THAT
OPEN SPACE IN ANY CAPACITY EVEN AT THE FIVE DOLLARS YOU KNOW
AND THREE FEET IT'S ACTUALLY TEN DOLLARS SYMBOL OF ART AND
THAT'S STILL NOT AFFORDABLE ON A REGULAR BASIS IN MY COMMUNITY
IT FEELS PRETTY INSULTING WHEN I WALK BY THEIR -- AND I
HAVE KIDS NEXT DOOR IN PLAIN UNDERNEATH -- EDISON FENCE IT
IS A LINE IN THE DIRT -- WHO ARE HUNGRY FOR OPEN SPACE THAT
WE CANNOT OPEN THE SPACE -- THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE TO BUILD
AN AND MY COMMUNITY WE HAVE DONE THE LOSSLESS WE HAVE THAN
THE EIGHTY USE WE HAVE BEEN THE FOR FUN ALL THE IDEAS WE'VE
BEEN DISCUSSING HERE WE'VE BEEN DOING IN MY COMMUNITY
AND WE NEED TO GET CREATIVE IT'S INSULTING WHEN I HAVE
A LIMITED CONTRACT CITY WORD LIMITED BUDGETS AND THEY'RE
SUBSIDIZING THIS GOLF COURSE OUT THERE AND SO WE NEED TO GET
CREATIVE THIS IS MODEST IF IT DOES NOT WORK FOR A COMMUNITY
THEY DO NOT NEED TO PARTAKE IN THIS FOR MY COMMUNITY NEEDS
TO SEE DOLLARS SO THAT THEY COULD I START TO DO THE HOURS
THE COMMUNITY AND CREATE A COMMUNITY BASED PLAN FOR WITH
THAT I WOULD BE BETTER USE FIND THAT'S PART OF WHAT THIS
IS ABOUT AND SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE I THINK I

RIGHT AS A LOUIS BROWN -- YOU WILL HAVE TWO MINUTES PLEASE
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE LOUIS
BROWN TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS
INSTITUTE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE ACTION COMMITTEE
FIRST ONE EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION TO THE AUTHOR THE
STAFF -- MORE IMPORTANTLY TO THE COMMITTEE STAFF -- OF FOR
WORKING WITH US IN IN MEETING WITH US AND TALKING ABOUT
SOME OF THE CONCERNS WE HAVE WITH THE BILL WE DO THINK THE
AMENDMENTS IMPROVE THE BILL AND START TO MOVE IT IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION ONE OF THINGS WE WANT TO BRING -- TO THE COMMITTEE'S
ATTENTION AND OTHERS IS A COUPLE DIFFERENT ISSUES FIRST
WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL BUYS INTO A HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
THEY'RE PRESENTED WITH THE CCN OURS THEY'RE SIGNING THE
CCN OURS IS IF THAT THEY'VE READ THEM AND THAT THEY'VE
UNDERSTOOD THEM WHEN WE MAKE CHANGES IN THE CIVIL CODE THAT
BASICALLY SAY THAT ACC ARE IS NO LONGER ENFORCEABLE WE ARE
CHANGING THE RULES OF THE GAME WE'RE CHANGING THOSE CONTRACT
TERMS THAT EVERYBODY IN THE ASSOCIATION HAS SIGNED INTO
THERE ARE EXISTING PRACTICES TO CHANGE CC IN OURS AND
WE'D BE HAPPY TO GET INTO A DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW SOME OF
THOSE PRACTICES CAN BE IMPROVED BECAUSE MANY TIMES WE CAN SEE
THAT ASSOCIATION IS UNABLE TO CHANGE THE CCN OURS BECAUSE
OF SOME OF THE EXISTING RULES THERE BUT I ASKED YOU ON
SOMETHING LIKE A ROOMMATE AND I UNDERSTAND THE COMMENTS THAT
WERE MADE EARLIER BUT THINK ABOUT THE IMPACT IT HAS ON THE
OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT ALSO OWN IN THAT ASSOCIATION THE OTHER
ELEMENT THAT WE WANT TO BRING UP IS THE COST ANYTIME WE ADD
COSTS TO AN ASSOCIATION THOSE TRICKLE DOWN TO HOMEOWNERS
IT'S THE HOMEOWNERS THAT PAY THE MONTHLY ASSESSMENTS AND
ACTUALLY THEN COVER THE BUDGET FOR THOSE ASSOCIATIONS AND
SO AS WE CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND
WE COMPLETELY SUPPORT THAT WE BECAUSE WE DO BELIEVE
THAT CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATIONS WILL BE THAT ANSWER OR ONE OF
THE ANSWERS THAT WE FIND IN CALIFORNIA FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AFFORDABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OWNERSHIP
WE NEED TO BE WARY OF THE NEW WOULD ISSHIN FOR RESTRICTIONS
WE PLACE ON ASSOCIATIONS THAT ULTIMATELY RAISE THEIR
COSTS AND THEN END UP IN NEW ASSESSMENT SO WE LOOK FORWARD
TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE AUTHOR WE THINK THAT THE BILL
STILL NEEDS SOME CLEAN UP THERE SOME TECH TERMINOLOGY
IN THERE THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH WE'LL BE WORKING
WITH THE AUTHOR AND APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY BILL MUST ASK
FOR NO VOTE TODAY THANK YOU APPRECIATE THE TESTIMONY --
NOW WE WILL HAVE A BY PHONE OUR SECOND WITNESS TOM FREELY
-- TOM YOU'LL HAVE TWO MINUTES
THANK YOU AND GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS MY NAME
IS TOM FREELY AND THE CEO OF THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
COMMUNITY MANAGERS WITH OVER THIRTY YEARS OF HANDS ON C.
ID MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE AND WE RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE AB FOURTEEN
TEN WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE AMENDMENTS AGREED TO BY THE
AUTHOR AND APPRECIATE THE WORK AND INTENTIONS OF THE AUTHOR
AND THE COMMITTEE STAFF THEY GO A LONG WAY IN IMPROVING THE
BILL CERTAINLY WE CONTINUE TO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT IMPOSING
FORMAL TRAINING REQUIREMENTS ON VOLUNTEER HOMEOWNERS AS
HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION ALREADY STRUGGLE TO FIND PEOPLE
TO SERVE ON THE H.
AWAY BOARDS WE ARE ALSO CONCERNED THAT ANY RESULTING
INCREASE COSTS ON ASSOCIATIONS WILL RESULT IN INCREASED ON ONE
OR SO ASSESSMENTS ADDITIONALLY WE BELIEVE MORE CLARIFICATION
IS NEEDED IN THE BILL TO ENSURE THAT THERE ARE NO AN
ADVERT AND CONSEQUENCES TO AN HOAS ABILITY TO REGULATE
SHORT TERM RENTALS CONSISTENT WITH EXISTING LAW TO ENFORCE
RESTRICTIONS IN SITUATIONS WHERE HOMEOWNER HAS A LARGER
AND TO ENFORCE VIOLATIONS THAT ARE NOT DUE TO OR IMPACTED BY
A STATE OF EMERGENCY WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUE DISCUSSIONS
WITH THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE BUT REMAIN AT THIS TIME OPPOSED TO
THIS BILL THANK YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY

BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE AND TO PAY MY COLLEAGUES HERE
HAVE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR THE MISTER SARATOGA THANK
YOU VERY MUCH I UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATIONS WITH HOAS
-- AND THAT'S WHY I CHOOSE NOT TO LIVE IN AN H.
AWAY -- GOVERNMENT COMMUNITY BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND WHY
PEOPLE DO LIVE IN THEM AND THEY LIVE IN THEM BECAUSE --
THEY WANT A MORE RESTRICTIVE -- BODY THAT GOVERNS THEIR
COMMUNITY AND IT MAINTAINS A CERTAIN STANDARD FOR THAT
COMMUNITY I REALLY HESITATE TO TRY TO IMPOSE LESS RESTRICTIONS
ON THOSE EIGHT ARE MORE RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT HOAS CAN
ACCOMPLISH THE YEARLY STRUGGLE FOR THEM TO GET SOMEBODY
ANYBODY TO SERVE ON THE BOARD IS ONE MOST THANKLESS JOBS
EVER -- IS IS HOW IT'S ALREADY DIFFICULT -- AND TELLING THEM
THAT THEY'RE GOING TO GO HAVE TO TAKE THAT YOU KNOW THAT THEN
THE COURSES THAT WE ALL HAVE TO TAKE TO BE ABLE TO BE AN
IN PUBLIC SERVICE -- IT WILL CAN PRETTY MUCH IN THAT -- AND
YOU'LL WIND UP WITH AN H.
AWAY GOVERNED BY THE COMMUNITY DIRECTOR I GUESS -- SO
THAT KIND OF ELIMINATES THE THE MECHANISM THAT THEY
HAVE -- TO ADDRESS THEIR GRIPES WITHIN THE H.
AWAY THERE'S A PROCESS IT EXISTS PEOPLE HAVE A CHOICE YOU
CAN YOU TO LIVE IN A COMMUNITY LIKE THAT OR NOT AND -- AND I
THINK IT'S REALLY UP TO THEM TO DECIDE THAT IF THEY DON'T
WANT TO THEN THEY SHOULDN'T -- BUT THEY SHOULDN'T MOVE INTO
IT AND THEN ONE HAS TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT GOING THE
WAY THEY WANT AND I SYMPATHIZE WITH THIS POOR GENTLEMAN THAT
CALLED AND NOW WITH HIS ISSUES THERE -- BUT -- YEAH HARD FOR
ME TO SUPPORT IT BECAUSE OF THAT I JUST DON'T LIKE TO DELVE
INTO HOAS AND -- AND YOU KNOW THEY'RE THERE FOR A REASON
WHEN PEOPLE TAKE ADVANTAGE JIM FOR A REASON AND -- I
DON'T THINK IT'S OUR PLACE TO -- TO GO IN AND TELL THEM
THEY CAN'T DO THAT ANYMORE
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM COLLEAGUES ON
THE DAIS IS THERE A MOTION

LIKE TO CLOSE YES OUR FIRST ONE WANT TO CONTINUE TO TO WORK

I THINK -- THERE IS A NEED TO MAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS AND
CHANGES OFFICER WE SEE SOME THERE ARE SOME GOOD CHOICES
ABOUT A CHOICE BUT I THINK WE GET THE MORE -- UP TO PAR
AND THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO HARASSMENT AND AT THE TRAINING
I THINK IT'S A WIN WIN FOR EVERYBODY NOBODY LIKES CHANGE
BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE DO AT THIS BUILDING TO ADVOCATE FOR
FOLKS IN DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES AND DIFFERENT AREAS US
WITHOUT RESPECT S.
