THE DUTIES AND AUTHORITY OF THE
BART, INSPECTOR GENERAL WITH
OTHER INSPECTOR GENERAL'S IN
CALIFORNIA AND WITH NATIONAL
STANDARDS. AREA VOTERS CREATED
THE INSPECTOR GENERAL IN 2018 AS
A PART OF A BALLOT MEASURE THAT
GAVE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION
AUTHORITIES THE POWER TO RAISE
BRIDGE TOLLS. THE FINANCE
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS.
IT'S AN IMPORTANT OFFICE GIVES
THE PUBLIC AND THE SYSTEM
WRITERS AND INDEPENDENT SET OF
EYES AND EARS TO MONITOR THE
AGENCY SPENDING AND OPERATIONS.
AND THIS BILL. WE WORK CLOSELY
WITH FORMER STATE AUDITOR ELAINE
HOW TO RESEARCH AND CRAFT THIS
BILL, AND MOST OF WHAT WE ARE
PROPOSING IS ALREADY BEING DONE.
BY THE STATE AUDITOR. THE
CALTRANS INSPECTOR GENERAL IN
THE LOS ANGELES METROPOLITAN
INSPECTOR GENERAL. MISS HOUSE

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
INSPECTOR GENERAL'S ASSOCIATION

THAT HAVE ARISEN OVER THE LAST
THREE YEARS SINCE HIS FIRST BILL
HELPED ESTABLISH THE INSPECTOR

MANAGEMENT HAVE BEEN FAIRLY
ADDRESSED. MOST IMPORTANTLY, THE
BILL REQUIRES AND THE INSPECTOR
GENERAL TO NOTIFY EMPLOYEES OF
THE RIGHT TO BE REPRESENTED BY
THEIR UNION. IN ANY INTERVIEW
THAT COULD LEAD TO ADVERSE
ACTION AS A FORMER AUDITOR, C.
P, A CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER. I
CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH THE
IMPORTANCE OF HAVING ROBUST
INDEPENDENT. UH OVERSIGHT FROM
THE OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
FOR A TRANSIT AGENCY THAT SPENDS
$2.5 BILLION PER YEAR. SO I, UM
AS ELECTED OFFICIALS, WE HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE
ASSURANCES TO THE PUBLIC THAT
THEIR BAY AREA RAPID TRANSIT
DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT WISELY
WITH TRANSPARENCY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE WRITERS,

HARD TO CONVERT AWAY FROM FOSSIL
FUEL TO OTHER SORTS OF RENEWABLE
ENERGY. ONE OF THE REASONS I
CAME BACK TO THIS GOVERNMENT
AFTER SPENDING 12 YEARS
TRAVELING THE WORLD WORKING ON
RENEWABLE ENERGY WAS TO WORK ON
THE DETAILS. NOT THE EXCITING
STUFF THAT GETS YOU ON THE FRONT

1000% OF THAT. IT'S THE QUIET
DETAILS TODAY. WHAT YOU HAVE
BEFORE YOU IS ONE OF THOSE QUIET
DETAILS DEALING WITH THE PROCESS

COMMISSION OF APPROVING EXISTING
TRANSMISSION LINES. WE'VE WORKED
TOGETHER WITH THE AMERICAN CLEAN
POWER ALLIANCE WHO CAME UP WITH
THIS BRILLIANT IDEA. ONLY TAKE
CREDIT FOR THINGS THAT I DO.
THIS WAS NOT MY IDEA, BUT I
JUMPED AT IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT
IT WAS QUITE INTELLIGENT TO
BASICALLY PROVIDE SOME LIMITED
MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROCESS
THAT STILL REQUIRES
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. BUT DEALS
WITH SOME OF THE SIGNIFICANT
CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE AS WE
BEGIN TO TRY TO UPGRADE THE
TRANSMISSION LINES, WHICH WE
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONVERT TO
RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEM. IF WE
DO NOT DO SO, SO AGAIN, IT'S
NOT. IT IS NOT LARGE BY VIRTUE
OF HEADLINES, BUT IT IS GOING TO
BE QUITE IMPORTANT IN TERMS OF
CREATING THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH
IS NECESSARY TO CONVERT WHICH IS
WHAT WE'RE ALL TRYING TO DO WITH
THAT. I ASKED FOR A NIGHT BOAT.
THANK YOU. LET'S SAY YOU DON'T
HAVE ANY WITNESSES. DO I DON'T
