WELL GOOD MORNING BEFORE WE
BEGIN TO ENSURE MEMBERS OF THE
MEDIA AND PUBLIC HAVE ACCESS TO
OUR PROCEEDINGS. TODAY THIS
HEARING WILL BE STREAMED ON THE
ASSEMBLY'S WEBSITE AND MEMBERS
OF THE PUBLIC CAN PROVIDE
TESTIMONY IN PERSON HERE IN ROOM
444 OR VIA THE PHONE. FOR ANY
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WILL
BE PROVIDING COMMENT VIA
TELEPHONE. WE'RE USING A
MODERATED TELEPHONE SERVICE. THE
CALLING NUMBER FOR THIS HEARING
IS 877692. AND THE PUBLIC ACCESS
CODE IS 1315444. PLEASE CALL IN
WHEN THE AUTHOR OF THE BILL YOU
WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON BEGINS
THEIR PRESENTATION. OPERATE ON
ON THE LINE WILL GIVE YOU
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO BE PLACED
IN A QUEUE. IF YOU ARE CALLING
IN, PLEASE ELIMINATE ALL
BACKGROUND NOISE. THIS INCLUDES
MEETING YOUR LIVESTREAM
BROADCAST AND YOUR DEVICES TO
REDUCE SOUND ISSUES. WE HAVE AN
AGENDA. UPDATE. THE FOLLOWING
BILLS HAVE BEEN PULLED BY THE
AUTHOR. AGENDA ITEM. 3 84 OH ONE
MATHIS IN THE ABSENCE OF A
QUORUM, WE WILL BEGIN AS A
SUBCOMMITTEE. MR ALI WOULD LIKE
ME TO BANG THE GAVEL. THIS IS
FOR ONE. AND SO WITH THAT WE'RE
GOING TO INVITE MR ALLEN EASE IF
YOU'D LIKE TO COME UP AND
PRESENT YOUR BILL. THANK YOU.
YEAH.
THIS WON'T TAKE TOO MUCH. YOU'RE
GONNA JUST TÌM. GOING TO THE
CHAIRMAN, FELLOW COMMITTEE
MEMBERS. I AM PRESENTING A B 2
93 TO YOU TODAY, WHICH I WOULD
ALLOW IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS
OF THE GOLD STAR FAMILIES TO
OBTAIN BASIC LIFETIME HUNTING
AND SPORT FISHING LICENSES
WITHOUT COST TO THOSE GOLD STAR
FAMILIES. OR MEMBERS. CALIFORNIA
HAS SET A LONG PRESIDENT OF
LEADING THE WAY IN HONORING OUR
STATE'S FALLEN HEROES AND THEIR
IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS. THIS
EXEMPTION WOULD DO MORE THAN
JUST ON OUR SERVICE MEMBERS AND
THEIR FAMILY. WHO HAVE FALLEN IN
THE LINE OF DUTY. IT WOULD HELP
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ACCESS TO
HEALING AND THERAPEUTIC OUTDOOR
ACTIVITIES LIKE SPORT FISHING
AND HUNTING. ACCORDING TO THE
GOLD STAR REGISTRY, ROUGHLY 7000
GOLD STAR FAMILIES HAVE TIES TO
CALIFORNIA OF WHICH OVER 5500
COME FROM THE VIETNAM WAR ALONE.
AROUND 700 FROM THE WARS IN IRAQ
AND AFGHANISTAN. THESE NUMBERS
WOULD INDICATE TO US THAT THE
PHYSICAL IMPACT TO THE STATE AND
THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND
WILDLIFE WOULD BE MINIMAL.
PERSONS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR
THIS AWARD WOULD HAVE TO MEET
THE FEDERAL GUIDELINES FOR
QUALIFICATIONS OF PROOF THAT
THEY ARE THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY
MEMBERS OF A FALLEN SERVICE
MEMBER, A SPOUSE OR PARTNER
APPARENT A SIBLING OR A CHILD.
WHO WAS KILLED IN A WAR ZONE BY
ENEMY ACTION. THEY WOULD ALSO
HAVE TO HAVE NEVER BEEN
CONVICTED OF A VIOLATION OF
EFFICIENT GAME CODE. I
APPRECIATE THE WORK COMMITTEE
STAFF HAS DONE WITH MY TEAM TO
ADDRESS QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS.
SHOULD THIS COMMITTEE MOVE THIS
BILL FORWARD TODAY WE WILL WORK
TO ADDRESS FINDING AN
INDEPENDENT SOURCE TO VERIFY WHO
IS ELIGIBLE FOR THIS PROGRAM.
WE'RE ACTIVELY LOOKING AT HOW
THE DMV MANAGERS GOLD STAR
FAMILY LICENSE PLATES AS ONE
EXAMPLE. DD FORM 1300 VEHICLE
CODE 51 56 ARE ALSO HELPFUL
MODELS FOR ANY INTEGRIS
INTERAGENCY. EXCUSE ME
COMMUNICATION AS WE WORK TO
BRIDGE BRIDGE THE NEEDED GAPS IN
PROCESS BETWEEN STATE AND OR
FEDERAL AGENCIES ALSO WANT TO
POINT OUT BEFORE I CLOSE. THIS
PROGRAM WOULD BE ONLY FOR THE
MOST BASIC HUNTING AND FISHING
LICENSES. THERE WOULD BE NO
ENHANCEMENTS QUALIFIED GOLD STAR
FAMILY MEMBERS WOULD STILL HAVE
TO FOLLOW CURRENT STATE
REGULATIONS TO OBTAIN ANY
ENHANCEMENTS TO THEIR HUNTING
AND FISHING LICENSES AND ALSO
PAY THE COST OF ANY DESIRED
ENHANCEMENTS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION, AND I'M HAPPY TO
YIELD AT THIS TIME TO ANY OTHER
WITNESSES AND QUESTIONS. FROM
THE COMMITTEE. AND ARE THERE ANY
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT THAT LIKE
TO SPEAK ON THIS BILL? IS THERE.
OPERATOR ANYONE ON THE PHONE IN
SUPPORT. ALRIGHT HEARING NONE.
IS THERE ANY OPPOSITION IN THE
HEARING ROOM? ALL RIGHT. YOU
GUYS ARE MAKING THIS EASY. UM
OPERATOR, IS THERE ANYONE ON THE
PHONE IN OPPOSITION? OKAY.
HEARING. NONE. UM. LET'S OPEN IT
UP TO MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
FOR ANY QUESTIONS. MISS DAVIES.
GOOD MORNING. FORWARD WE KNOW
THAT OUR MEN AND WOMEN HAVE
GIVEN THEIR LIVES FOR FREEDOM,
AND THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS TO
EXTEND THIS TO THE FAMILIES THAT
STILL HAVE SACRIFICED SO MUCH.
SO UM LIKE TO BE A CO AUTHOR, I
BELIEVE I MAY BE ON THERE, AND
I'D ALSO LIKE TO MOVE THE BILL
BECAUSE I BELIEVE WE HAVE A
QUORUM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE
DON'T HAVE A QUORUM AT THIS TIME
. COME BACK, MISS WEBBER. GOOD
MORNING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
THIS BILL. UM I THINK IT'S AN
AMAZING BILL. I KNOW THIS ISN'T
THE FISCAL COMMITTEE, BUT I WAS
JUST WONDERING AS I WAS READING
THROUGH. DO WE HAVE ANY
ESTIMATES ON HOW MUCH? THIS
MIGHT COST, UM ESPECIALLY GIVEN
DIFFERENT SIZES OF DIFFERENT
FAMILIES. YEAH BEING INDICATED.
NO, NOT AT THIS TIME. BUT I CAN
GET THAT. OKAY ALRIGHT, AND TO
JUST CLARIFY JUST FOR ME, SO
GOLD STAR WHO WOULD QUALIFY
WOULD BE A SPOUSE, KIDS, PARENTS
, SIBLINGS AND GRANDPARENTS. NOT
NOT GRANTED. I DON'T BELIEVE
GRANDPARENTS IS ON THERE. SO NOT
GRANDPARENTS. OKAY ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. DOCTOR
DOCTOR EVER JUST CLARIFYING THAT
AND THE REASON WHY THAT IS WE
AMENDED THE BILL EARLY ON, TOO.
UM UM USE THE FEDERAL STANDARD
FOR WHO COULD QUALIFY FOR GOLD
STAR LAPEL PIN, WHICH IS THE
MOST STRINGENT. APPLICATION
PROCESS FOR ANYBODY TO BE
CONSIDERED A GOLD STAR FAMILY
MEMBER. SO THAT IS WHY THE
GRANDPARENTS ARE NOT THERE. BUT
I THINK, UH, WE WOULD BE OPEN AS
A STAFF AND MY MEMBER WOULD BE
OPEN IF YOU HAD CONCERNS ABOUT
NO GRANDPARENTS AND HOW WE COULD
WORK TO GET THERE. WE CAN
DEFINITELY RAISED THE STANDARD
IF WE NEED TO. HMM MR COLONIES.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? YES.
THANK YOU AGAIN. I JUST WANT TO
THANK THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
THEIR WORK WITH MY TEAM. ON THIS
PROPOSAL. WE WILL CONTINUE TO

THINGS CALLED ATMOSPHERIC IF YOU
WANT TO SEE ONE, JUST GO RIGHT
OUTSIDE. WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT
HERE IN THIS NICE DRY ROOM. SO
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS REALLY PLEASED TO BE
WITH YOU TODAY TO PRESENT
ASSEMBLY BILL 30, AS YOU ALL
KNOW, ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS PRODUCE
UP TO 50% OF OUR ANNUAL
PRECIPITATION IN CALIFORNIA, BUT
CAN ACCOUNT FOR ABOUT 90% OF THE
FLOOD AND ENSURED FLOOD LOSSES
IN THIS STATE WITH CLIMATE
CHANGE. MOST OF THE EXTREME
ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS ARE PROJECTED
TO BECOME MORE FREQUENT. NOW
THERE'S AN EXISTING A OUR
ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS STATUTORY
RESEARCH PROGRAM, BUT SINCE
THAT'S BEEN ADOPTED FROM ABOUT
10 YEARS AGO, SO WE'VE ACTUALLY
HAD IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR
FORECASTING AND IMPROVEMENTS AND
BEST PRACTICES IN THE
ENGINEERING PRACTICES FOR FLOOD
OPERATIONS. UH, AND FOR
OPERATIONS. AH ALSO KNOWN AS
PHARAOH. THE FORECAST INFORMED
RESERVOIR OPERATIONS ASSEMBLY
BILL 30, THINGS SEEKS TO BE ABLE
TO LINK THE EXISTING ATMOSPHERIC
RIVERS RESEARCH AND FORECASTS
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WITH EURO
INTO THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES, WATER SUPPLY
OPERATIONS AND FLOOD AND HAZARD
HAZARD RISK MITIGATION EFFORTS
BY ALIGNING THIS FORECAST
DEVELOPMENT. WE WILL NOT ONLY BE
ABLE TO BETTER OPTIMIZE OUR
WATER MANAGEMENT, BOTH RELEASING
AHEAD OF THESE STORMS, BUT ALSO
CAPTURING MORE ON THE BACK END.
AND THEN IN TOTALITY, HOPEFULLY
BE ABLE TO MODULATE AND BE ABLE
TO PRESERVE MOST OF OUR WATER
SUPPLY WITH EXISTING
INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT ALSO WE
MIGHT BE ABLE TO BETTER LEVERAGE
FEDERAL AGENCY SUPPORT AND
FUNDING TODAY I HAVE SANDRA CURL
THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE SAN
DIEGO COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY,
AND MARK FINSTER, MAKER WITH THE
SONOMA COUNTY WATER AGENCY TO
TESTIFY AND SUPPORT. THANK YOU.
GOOD MORNING. I WANT TO THANK
YOU. CHAIR BY BAUER-KAHAN. I
WANT TO THANK ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
WARD IN ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S MATHIS
FOR ASSEMBLY BILL 30, AS STATED
BY NAMED SANDY CURL AND THE
GENERAL MANAGER OF SAN DIEGO
COUNTY WATER AUTHORITY AND A B
30 REALLY BRINGS TOGETHER THE
SCIENCE AND HANDS ON WATER
INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE TO PROMOTE
MORE EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT. OF
WATER RESOURCES. THE WATER
AUTHORITY REALLY HAS LONG
RECOGNIZED THE CHALLENGES OF
CLIMATE CHANGE. UM AND HAS
REALLY BEEN POSED TO, UM,
DEDICATE OURSELVES IN THE REGION
TO PROACTIVELY ADDRESSING THESE
ISSUES, IMPROVED PREDICTION AND
FORECASTING OF ATMOSPHERIC
RIVERS IMPROVES RESERVOIR
PLANNING OPERATIONAL MANAGEMENT
FOR NOT ONLY THE STATES
RESERVOIRS BUT FOR OUR LOCAL RED
SUPPORTS AS WELL. UM, BEING ABLE
TO PREDICT WHEN ATMOSPHERIC
RIVERS WILL REACH SAN DIEGO
REGION ALLOWS US MORE TIME TO
REMIND THE PUBLIC OF THE THINGS
THEY CAN DO, LIKE TURNING OFF
THEIR SPRINKLERS, UM AND TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF THE ATMOSPHERIC
RIVERS. THE WATER AUTHORITY
APPRECIATES YOUR SUPPORT OF A B
30. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM
CHAIR COMMITTEE MEMBERS. I'M
MARK FINSTER MAKER HERE ON
BEHALF OF SNOW MORE WATER WHEN I
FIRST THANK ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
WARD FOR BRINGING MAYBE 30
FORWARD WE ARE PROUD CO SPONSORS
OF THE BILL. UM MY COMMENTS ARE
GOING TO FOCUS A LITTLE BIT MORE
ON WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DON'T
HAVE ATMOSPHERIC RIVER SEEMS A
LITTLE IRONIC GIVEN THE WEATHER,
BUT IT'S REALLY DROUGHT
CONDITIONS THAT BROUGHT SNOW
MORE WATER INTO THIS
CONVERSATION. BACK IN 2013, THE
U. S ARMY CORPS, WHO MANAGES OUR
RESERVOIRS AND A LOT OF THE
RESERVOIRS ACROSS THE STATE.
TOLD US WE HAD TO RELEASE WATER.
THAT'S WHAT THE RULES SAID.
THESE RULES ARE FROM THE
SIXTIES. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE
DID. WE RELEASED ABOUT 30,000
ACRE FEET, AND THEN IT DIDN'T
RAIN FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS, AND
SO WE KNEW WE HAD TO DO
SOMETHING DIFFERENT. WE HAD TO
DO BETTER TO ADAPT TO CLIMATE
CHANGE, AND THAT'S WHEN WE
STARTED REALLY WORKING WITH
SCRIPTS INSTITUTE TO UNDERSTAND
OUR PRECIPITATION PATTERNS.
UNDERSTAND ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS
AND START WORKING WITH THE U. S.
ARMY CORPS ON HOW WE COULD
BETTER MANAGE OUR RESERVOIRS. I
LIKE TO THINK OF FERRO AS
BRINGING 21ST CENTURY TECHNOLOGY
TO OUR 20TH CENTURY
INFRASTRUCTURE. AND THEN
BRINGING THE RULES FROM THE 20TH
CENTURY INTO THE 21ST CENTURY.
SO WHAT HAPPENED IS WE WENT
FORWARD. WE WORKED WITH THE CORE
. GOT A MINOR DEVIATION. IT
ALLOWED US TO HOLD MORE WATER
BACK INTO OUR FLOOD POOL. AND WE
DID THAT IN 2019. AND AS YOU MAY
RECALL FROM THE LAST COUPLE OF
YEARS, THIS MOST RECENT DROUGHT
GOVERNOR NEWSOM WENT OUT TO LAKE
MENDOCINO, ONE OF OUR MARINE
RESERVOIRS. WHEN HE ANNOUNCED
THE DROUGHT PROCLAMATION, HE
STOOD ON A DRY LAKE BED THERE AT
LAKE MENDOCINO, AND AS THE
DROUGHT WENT ON, IT WAS REALLY
THAT LITTLE BIT THAT WE HELD
BACK INTO THE FLOOD POOL ABOUT
11,000 ACRE FEET. THAT WAS ALL
THAT WAS LEFT. WHEN THE DROUGHT
REALLY TOOK HOLD. SO FOR US,
IT'S BECOME A REALLY KEY PART OF
MANAGING DROUGHTS. BUT WE ARE
HEARING ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS.
OBVIOUSLY THIS PAST COUPLE OF
MONTHS WE'VE SEEN ATMOSPHERIC
RIVER OUT FOR ATMOSPHERIC RIVER
AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO
APPLY FOR EURO TWO. FLOOD
CONTROL AS WELL. THE TOWN OF
BURNSVILLE IS REALLY PRONE TO
FLOODING. WE SAW THAT BACK IN
2019 AND SO BACK IN JANUARY, AS
WE WERE ABLE TO WORK WITH
SCRIPTS AND SEE THESE A R S
COMING IN. WE WERE ABLE TO TIME
RELEASES BASED ON WHEN THE NEXT
ERROR WOULD HIT. SO WE DIDN'T
ADD TO THE ELEVATION OF THE
RUSSIAN RIVER SWELL UP THE RIVER
BECAUSE OF RELEASES THAT WE
OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE MADE
WITHOUT THIS PREDICTIVE
CAPABILITY. AND SO WE'RE ABLE TO
AVOID FLOODING IN GREENVILLE
ALONG THE RUSSIAN RIVER BECAUSE
THE WAY PHARAOH CAN BE USED, AND
SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO SEE A
B 30 START TO EXPAND THIS OUT TO
OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE.
OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE PARTNERS IN
THE BIG COALITION THAT'S
IMPLEMENTING THIS, BUT WE KNOW
THAT MORE CAN BE DONE. AND
OBVIOUSLY WE NEED ALL THE TOOLS
WE CAN TO BETTER MANAGE OUR
WATER IN THESE TIMES. THANK YOU.
