GOOD AFTERNOON
, EVERYONE SIMPLY MEMBER FREDDY
RODRIGUEZ THAT TREVOR BURNS
COMMITTEE OF EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT. WELCOME TO TODAY'S
HEARING. LET'S TURN TODAY'S
GENDER REMIND EVERYONE OF THE
GROUND RULES FOR TODAY'S
HEARING. AS ALWAYS, WE SEEK TO
PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF ALL WHO
PARTICIPATE IN THE LEGISLATIVE
PROCESS SO THAT WE CAN HAVE
EFFECTIVE DELIBERATION AND THE
DECISIONS ON THE CRITICAL ISSUES
FACING CALIFORNIA. IN ORDER TO
FACILITATE THESE GOALS, WE WILL
NOT PERMIT CONDUCT THAT DISRUPTS
, DISTURBS OR OTHERWISE IMPEDES
THE ORDERLY CONDUCT OF THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS AT
TODAY'S HEARING, WILL TAKE
PUBLIC COMMENTS FROM THOSE IN
THE ROOM. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
MAY ALSO SUBMIT TESTIMONY TO THE
COMMITTEE AT E M DOT ASSEMBLY
DOT C A DOT GOV. FIRST
ESTABLISHED ACQUIRE, UM, BUT
WITH THAT WILL START AS A
SUBCOMMITTEE SINCE WE DON'T HAVE
ANY OTHER MEMBERS TO START. BUT
WITH THAT, UH, FIRST ONE WE HAVE
HERE IS FIVE NUMBER NINE A B 7
16 ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S BARNA.
HORVATH. YOU MAY PROCEED WHEN
YOU'RE READY. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS ARE MR
CHAIR. UM FIRST, I'D LIKE TO SEE
MEMBERS MEMBERS MEMBERS LIKE TO
ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE
CHAIR AND YOURSELF FOR WORKING
ON THIS BILL. THIS IS THE THIRD
TIME WE'RE RUNNING. THIS BILL IS
FINALLY GETTING A HEARING. SO
WE'RE VERY EXCITED TODAY. 87 16
QUITE SIMPLY SEEKS TO PROTECT,
UH, PREVENT CONSUMERS FROM BEING
HIT WITH SURPRISE BILLS FOR A
GROUND AMBULANCE SERVICE.
CALIFORNIA ALREADY HAS VERY
STRONG PROTECTIONS IN PLACE FOR
SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS, BUT
THERE REMAINS A LOOPHOLE FOR
GROUND AMBULANCE BILLS. UNDER
THIS BILL, PATIENTS WITH
INSURANCE WILL ONLY BE
RESPONSIBLE TO PAY THE IN
NETWORK COST SHARING AMOUNT.
THOSE WITHOUT INSURANCE WOULD BE
CHARGED NO MORE THAN THE MEDICAL
OR MEDICARE RIGHT FOR THE
SERVICE, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
AND THIS BILL WOULD REQUIRE THAT
ABSENT A CONTRACT BETWEEN THE
AMBULANCE PROVIDER AND THE
INSURER OR HEALTH PLAN, THE
HEALTH PLANNER INSURER PAYS THE
AMBULANCE PROVIDER FOR THE
LOCALLY. LOCAL MEDICAL AUTHORITY
. THE LAMPS A RATE FOR AMBULANCE
SERVICES, MEANING THAT OUR LOCAL
FIREFIGHTERS AND PARAMEDICS ARE
COMPENSATED FOR THE HEROIC WORK
THAT THEY DO. THIS ISSUE HAS
ALSO PERSONAL TO ME. MY DAUGHTER
HAD TO TAKE AN EMERGENCY TRIP TO
THE HOSPITAL. IF I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU REMEMBER IT WAS PROBABLY
JUST ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO. I
WAS UP HERE ON A MONDAY AND ON
TUESDAY, I GOT A CALL THAT SHE
WAS IN THE HOSPITAL AND I
RECEIVED A SURPRISE BILL DESPITE
HAVING EXCELLENT INSURANCE WHEN
CALLING AN AMBULANCE. THE LAST
THING ANYONE SHOULD BE THINKING
ABOUT IS THAT THAT LIFE SAVING
RIDE WILL RESULT IN A FINANCIAL
HARDSHIP. 87 16 IS A COMMON
SENSE SOLUTION THAT I HOPE ALL
MY COLLEAGUES IN THE LEGISLATURE
WILL JOIN ME IN SUPPORTING. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE
AND I HAVE HERE WITH ME TODAY.
JENNIFER REEVES, WHO WILL FIRST
SHARE THE STORY OF WHAT HAPPENED
WHEN HER DAUGHTER WAS INJURED.
WE'LL ALSO HAVE CAITLIN VAN
DIEN. DIÆN VINES. THANK YOU
POLICY AND LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATE
FOR HEALTH ACCESS CALIFORNIA THE
SPONSORS OF THIS BILL. THANK
YOU. PROCEED ALREADY. GOOD
AFTERNOON, MR CHAIRMAN AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. MY NAME IS
JENNIFER RACE AND I LIVE IN
PRESIDENT COUNTY. I AM HERE
TODAY IN SUPPORT OF A B 7 16. I
HOPE THAT AFTER YOU HEAR MY
STORY YOU WILL UNDERSTAND AND I
VOTE IS SO IMPORTANT TO ALL
CALIFORNIA MEMBERS. ALMOST
EXACTLY A YEAR AGO, MY DAUGHTER,
A 21 YEAR OLD STUDENT SUSTAINED
SERIOUS INJURIES DUE TO BEING
KICKED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE
CHEST BY OUR HORSE. AFTER BEING
KICKED, SHE FELL TO THE GROUND
AND ABLE TO MOVE OR SPEAK. THE
APPLE WATCH SHE WAS WEARING
IMMEDIATELY ACTIVATED AND CALLED
911 AND AMBULANCE ARRIVED AT OUR
HOME AND TRANSPORTED HER TO THE
NEAREST HOSPITAL FIVE MILES
AWAY. WHILE THERE SHE WAS
DIAGNOSED WITH FOUR BROKEN RIBS
AND A PARTIALLY COLLAPSED LUNG.
THE SERIOUSNESS OF HER INJURIES
PROMPTED HER TO BE TRANSPORTED
AGAIN BY AMBULANCE TO A LEVEL
ONE TRAUMA CENTER 12 MILES AWAY.
SHE SPENT THREE NIGHTS IN THE
HOSPITAL. A MONTH LATER, SHE
WERE RECEIVED A BILL FROM THE
AMBULANCE COMPANY TOTALING
$4600. MY DAUGHTER IS COVERED BY
MY EMPLOYER SPONSORED HEALTH
INSURANCE PLAN, BUT OUR
INSURANCE COMPANY PAID LESS THAN
HALF OF THE BILL, LEAVING HER
RESPONSIBLE FOR $2400. SHE WAS
DISTRAUGHT BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T
KNOW HOW SHE WAS GOING TO PAY
THE BILL. I INITIALLY THOUGHT MY
INSURANCE COMPANY HAD PROCESSED
THE CLAIM INCORRECTLY. BUT AFTER
MANY HOURS ON THE PHONE, I FOUND
OUT THE $2400 BILL WAS BECAUSE
THE AMBULANCE COMPANY WAS OUT OF
MY INSURANCE PLAN NETWORK. I
ALSO DISCOVERED THAT ALL FRESNO
COUNTY 9 11 CALLS ARE HANDLED BY
THIS PARTICULAR AMBULANCE
COMPANY. AND THIS COMPANY
CHOOSES NOT TO CONTRACT WITH ANY
EMPLOYER SPONSORED HEALTH
INSURANCE PLANS. THIS CHOICE
MAKES THEM OUT OF NETWORK FOR
ALL FRESNO COUNTY RESIDENTS WITH
EMPLOYER SPONSORED HEALTH
INSURANCE. WITH A MILLION
RESIDENTS IN FRESNO COUNTY.
THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE RECEIVING
A SURPRISE AMBULANCE BILL. TO
MAKE MATTERS WORSE FOR MONTHS
AFTER RECEIVING THE FIRST
AMBULANCE BILL, AND DESPITE
KNOWING I WAS WORKING TO RESOLVE
THE CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE
COMPANY, THE AMBULANCE COMPANY
SENT MY DAUGHTER TO COLLECTIONS.
TO PROVIDE PERSPECTIVE. THE
TOTAL BILL FOR THE THREE DAY
HOSPITAL. STAY AT THE LEVEL ONE
TRAUMA CENTER WAS $57,000. MY
INSURANCE COVERED ALL BUT $1700.
BASICALLY MY DAUGHTER OWED 3% OF
THE HOSPITAL BILL, BUT MORE THAN
50% OF THE AMBULANCE BILL. I AM
ACTIVELY FIGHTING TO PREVENT
OTHER CALIFORNIANS FROM ENDURING
THE STRUGGLE I ENDURED OVER THE
LAST YEAR. GROUND TRANSPORTATION
. AMBULANCES SHOULD BE STOPPED
FROM SURPRISE BILLING CRITICAL
FOR CRITICAL EMERGENCY SERVICES
. I URGE YOU TO VOTE AYE ON ABC
. 7 16. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
WHOEVER'S NEXT GOOD AFTERNOON,
MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS I'M KTV AND
DIE INS OF POLICY AND
LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATE WITH HEALTH
ACCESS CALIFORNIA, THE STATEWIDE
HEALTHCARE CONSUMER ADVOCACY
COALITION. WE ARE PROUD TO
SUPPORT AND SPONSOR A B 7 16 7
16 WILL CLOSE THE GLARING CAP IN
CALIFORNIA'S EXISTING CONSUMER
PROTECTIONS FOR SURPRISE BILLING
BY PROHIBITING GROUND AMBULANCE
PROVIDERS FROM SURPRISE BILLING
CONSUMERS AND ENSURING THAT
CONSUMERS WILL ONLY PAY THAT IN
NETWORK COST SHARING. THE BILL
ALSO PLACES A CAP ON WHAT
UNINSURED CALIFORNIANS CAN BE
CHARGED FOR AMBULANCE SERVICES.
IN PREVENTING THEM FROM BEING
CHARGED. THE FULL RATE SURPRISE
BILL HAPPENS WHEN A CONSUMER IS
THE RIGHT THING BY WHEN GOING TO
THE EMERGENCY ROOM OR TAKING AN
AMBULANCE. THEY BUT THEY GET
THAT CARE WITH AN OUT OF NETWORK
PROVIDER THROUGH NO FAULT OF
THEIR OWN. IN CASE OF AMBULANCES
. CONSUMERS DON'T HAVE A CHOICE
WHEN THEY GET IN THE AMBULANCE
THAT ARRIVES IF THAT AMBULANCES
IN THEIR NETWORK AND A STUDY
FOUND THAT 70% 73% OF AMBULANCE
RIDES AMONG CALIFORNIA'S WITH
LARGE EMPLOYER COVERAGE INCLUDED
AN OUT OF NETWORK CHARGE. FOR AN
AMBULANCE RIDE. CONSUMERS OFTEN
RECEIVE A BILL OF $1000, OR EVEN
MORE THAN $2000 IN SURPRISE
BILLS, WHICH CAN DESTABILIZE THE
FAMILY'S FINANCES, ESPECIALLY
FOR NO LOW AND MODERATE INCOME
CALIFORNIANS WITHOUT SAVINGS. WE
HEAR FROM CALIFORNIANS THAT MANY
WILL NOT EVEN CALL THE AMBULANCE
WITH WITH SORRY. EXCUSE ME, UM,
FOR LEGITIMATE FEAR OF THE BILL,
PUTTING THEIR OWN HEALTH AT RISK
BECAUSE THEY'RE SO AFRAID OF THE
CHARGES. 87 16 WILL REQUIRE THAT
HEALTH PLANS AND INSURERS PAY
THE AMBULANCE PROVIDER THE
LOCALLY SET LIMPS OF RATE FOR
SERVICES AND TAKES THE CONSUMER
OUT OF THE MILLET, THE MIDDLE,
ENSURING THEY ONLY PAY THAT
NETWORK COST SHARING. FOR 87 16.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO HONORING THE
EXISTING LIMBS A PROCESS FOR
SETTING RATES AND WE KNOW THIS
COMMITTEE DISCUSSES CHANGES AND
WE'LL LEAVE THAT TO YOU. 87 16
WILL END SURPRISE BILLING FOR
AMBULANCE SERVICES AND GIVE
CONSUMERS MORE FINANCIAL
SECURITY DURING AND AFTER AN
EMERGENCY AND ENSURE THEY CAN
FOCUS ON GETTING TO THE HOSPITAL
AND NOT WHAT THE BILL WILL DO TO
THEIR FINANCES. I RESPECTFULLY
ASK YOUR IPHONE ON A B 7 16.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYONE

WE WILL TURN IT OVER TO FOR ADAM
NUMBER 10 88 35 ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
LEAGUE WHEN YOU'RE READY, THANK
YOU, MR CHAIR MEMBERS HONORED TO
PRESENT THE FIRST TIME FOR THIS
COMMITTEE. I WANT TO START BY
SAYING I ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS, WHICH REQUIRED THE
STATE FIRE MARSHAL DESCEND THE
REPORT ON SINGLE STARE BUILDINGS
ABOVE THREE STORIES, THE
BUILDING STANDARDS COMMISSION
AND TO THIS COMMITTEE. CURRENTLY
CALIFORNIA REQUIRES TO SYRIA
EXIT ROUTES IN APARTMENT
BUILDINGS ABOVE THREE STORIES
TALL. HOWEVER, THERE ARE MID
RISE BUILDINGS THROUGHOUT EUROPE
WITH SINGLE STAIRCASES. MANY
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ALLOW
BUILDING THE SINGLE STAIRCASES
AND HAVE BETTER RECORDS ON FIRE
SAFETY, THEN EVEN IN THE UNITED
STATES, BECAUSE EUROPEAN
BUILDINGS GENERALLY HAVE MORE
MODERN SAFETY FEATURES LIKE
SPRINKLERS, WHICH COULD ALSO BE
IMPLEMENTED IN AMERICA. THE BILL
WILL HELP BRING THIS TYPE OF
BUILDING TO THE UNITED STATES BY
DIRECTING THE STATE FIRE
MARSHAL'S RESEARCH STANDARDS FOR
SINGLE SCARY MULTI UNIT
RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS AND SUBMIT
REPORT TO RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS.
WITH THAT ELECTION REDUCED MY
TWO WITNESSES TODAY. FIRST WE
HAVE ALFRED TO PRACTICING
ARCHITECT WITH EXPERIENCE OF
DESIGNING FORMAL HOUSING, AND
EDMUNDO'S, A DEMOCRAT,
DEMOGRAPHER, TRAIN, CITY PLANNER
AND POLICY DIRECTOR, LIVABLE
COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE. THERE'S
A MOTION THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
GOOD AFTERNOON. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
MY NAME IS ALFRED TO I'M AN
ARCHITECT IN THE BAY AREA,
WORKING ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING
AND WITH ORGANIZATIONS WORKING
ON SOLVING OUR STATE'S HOUSING
CRISIS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE
WORK ON IS TO AVOID BUILDING IN
WILDFIRE OR FLOOD ZONES. WE WANT
TO BUILD MORE IN OUR EXISTING
CITIES, BUT MANY OF THESE LOTS
ARE VERY SMALL, AND THAT IS
WHERE THE SINGLE SPARE BUILDINGS
COME IN. WHAT IS THE SINGLE
STAIR BUILDING? AS YOU CAN SEE
ON THE FLOOR PLAN. IT'S A
BUILDING WHERE YOU GET OFF THE
ELEVATOR, AND THERE'S A SMALL
LOBBY. MAYBE YOU DECIDE THAT
THIS LITTLE AREA RIGHT HERE WITH
DORIS TO TWO OF THEM APARTMENTS
AND THEN ONCE THEY'RE MILLIONS
OF THE STONINGS EXIST AROUND THE
WORLD AND OUR LEGAL IN MOST
COUNTRIES AND A COUPLE OF US
CITIES SUCH AS SEATTLE,
WASHINGTON THEY ARE WAY TO LOWER
THE COST OF BUILDING HOUSING.
PROVIDE MORE FAMILY SIZED
APARTMENTS. AND ALSO PROVIDE
MORE NATURAL LIGHT AND FRESH AIR
AND THEY CAN BE ESSAY FOR EVEN
SAFER THAN OTHER TYPES OF
APARTMENTS. IN CONTRAST TO
SINGLE STAIRS. THIS IS WHAT
CONVENTIONAL CALIFORNIA
APARTMENT BUILDING LOOKS LIKE A
DOUBLE STAIR BUILDING WITH A
STARE AT EITHER END OF A LONG
HALLWAY. MOST OF THESE BUILDINGS
ARE GIANT. THEY'RE ABOUT THE
SIZE OF A BLOCK BECAUSE FOR A
SINGLE STARE FOR A SMALL LOT. IT
WOULD NOT BE EFFICIENT TO HAVE
THIS MUCH HARDAWAY AND
STAIRWELL.
THE LAST ONE. YEAH WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING FOR IS NOT A VERY LARGE
CHANGED CURRENT CODE ALLOWS FOR
SINGLES, THEIR APARTMENTS UP TO
THREE FLOORS WITH FOUR
APARTMENTS PER FLOOR. BUT IT
DOES NOT LIMIT THE HEIGHT OF
THOSE FLOORS. YOU CAN HAVE A
THREE STORY LOT STYLE APARTMENT
WITH DOUBLE HEIGHT CEILINGS
LEGALLY IN CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW.
AND IN SEATTLE, YOU CAN HAVE SIX
STORIES. SINGLE STORY BUILDINGS
. SEATTLE REQUIRES ADDITIONAL
SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS
SPRINKLERS. AND EITHER AN
OUTDOOR STAIR OR PRESSURIZED
SMOKE PROOFS THERE, AS WELL AS
FIRE RESISTANT WALLS AND FLOORS.
IN SUMMARY SINGLE STEER
BUILDINGS ARE WAY TO BRING
PEOPLE BACK TO OUR STRUGGLING
DOWNTOWNS. USE LITTLE SMALL,
VACANT LOTS INSTEAD OF BUILDING
IN WILDFIRE AND FLOOD ZONES. I
ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR A V 8
35. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANYONE
ELSE SUPPORT. HONORABLE ASSEMBLY
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE ON
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT. MY NAME IS
ED MENDOZA FROM THE POLICY
DIRECTOR OF THE LIVABLE
COMMUNITIES INITIATIVE. AND I'M
HERE TO URGE YOU TO SUPPORT A B
A 35. I COME BEFORE YOU TODAY TO
OFFER A POSSIBLE ANSWER TO A
PRESSING QUESTION. WHY THIS
STUDY? WHY THERE'S REFORM RIGHT
NOW. I'M HERE TO SHED LIGHT ON
TWO POSSIBLE REASONS FOR THIS.
FIRSTLY THERE WAS NO POLITICAL
NEED FOR THIS STUDY. UNTIL NOW,
LANDAU WAS NOT AS EXPENSIVE 10
OR 15 YEARS AGO AS IT IS TODAY.
THERE WERE MORE GREENFIELD SITES
AND LARGER INFILL SITES. THEN
THEN THERE ARE NOW HOWEVER,
HOUSING COSTS HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY
RISEN IN RECENT YEARS AND DUE TO
LAND SCARCITY, THE VALUE OF
DEVELOPABLE LAND HAS SKYROCKETED
IN COSTS AS WELL. LAND ASSEMBLY
PREMIUMS IN LOS ANGELES, FOR
EXAMPLE, REACH UP TO 40% OF LAND
ACQUISITION COSTS. THIS DIRECTLY
PUNISHES AFFORDABLE HOUSING
PROVIDERS AND HAMPERS THE NEW
CONSTRUCTION OF NEW, AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND MARKET RATE HOUSING.
IN CONTRAST, BUILDING AN
UNCONSOLIDATED LAND LOWERS
HOUSING COSTS. SECONDLY MANY
JURISDICTIONS DID NOT ALLOW FOR
THE MISSING MIDDLE MULTI FAMILY
HOUSING THAT IS NOW LARGELY
ALLOWED TODAY IN THE U. S AND
INTERNATIONALLY POINT ACCESS.
SINGLE MEANS OF EXIT BUILDINGS
ARE TAILOR MADE FOR SMALLER
SITES AND CREATE HYPER EFFICIENT
, SAFE AND LIVEABLE LAYOUTS.
HOWEVER UNTIL THE RECENT PASSAGE
OF VARIOUS STATE LAWS SUCH AS
STATE BUT DENSITY BONUS UPDATES
A B 2011 SP 35 B 17 63 AND THE
SP 4 78 LOW RISE MULTI FAMILY
BUILDING SIMPLY COULD NOT BE
BUILT. NOW THAT MORE FORMS OF
INFILL MULTI FAMILIES, BUILDINGS
ARE ALLOWED. WE ARE SEEING CODE
COMPLIANT BUILDINGS THAT FOLLOW
LIFE AND SAFETY REGULATIONS, BUT
ARE LACKING THE LIVABILITY THAT
UM. THAT THE PEOPLE WHO INHABIT
THESE BUILDINGS DESERVE. THE USE
OF SINGLE OR DOUBLE LOADED
CORRIDORS ON SMALL PARCELS
FORCES LAYOUTS WERE MUNITZ MAY
FACE IN ADJACENT PROPERTY THAT
IS ONLY OR MAY ONLY BE THREE FT.
AWAY AS A RESULT, HOMES MAY HAVE
NO NATURAL LIGHT AND LIMITED
AIRFLOW, WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE.
CURRENTLY SINGLE MEANS OF EGRESS
. MULTI FAMILY BUILDINGS UP TO
FOUR STORIES ARE ALLOWED IN OUR
EXISTING CODE FOR OUR THREE
USERS. HOWEVER THIS HAS LED TO A
RISE OF COLD LIVING SITUATIONS
AKIN TO MODERN DATA. FACTO S. R
O S. WE MUST ADDRESS THIS
PROBLEM BY CONSIDERING EQUITY
SAFETY AND DECENCY. WE ADVOCATE
STUDYING WAYS TO IMPROVE THE
LIVING CONDITIONS OF PEOPLE
LIVING IN NEW MULTI FAMILY
APARTMENTS, LOOKING FOR WAYS TO
PROVIDE FRESH AIR SUNLIGHT GREEN
SPACE WHILE MAINTAINING THE
HIGHEST DEGREES OF SAFE
ENVIRONMENT, OTHER CITIES, AND
WHEN IT'S A PALLET, EASE IN THE
US HAVE STANDARDS THAT ALLOW FOR
THIS, AND WE ASKED THE FIRE
MARSHAL TO STUDY STANDARDS
TAILORED FOR CALIFORNIA AND
CALIFORNIA IN FAMILIES. LET US
PROVIDE THE DIGNITY OF OUR
FELLOW PERSON AND STRIVE TO MAKE
OUR COMMUNITIES MORE LIVABLE AND
SUSTAINABLE. THANK YOU FOR
ATTENTION. THANK YOU ANYONE ELSE
HERE IN SUPPORT? MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS ALEX TORRES WITH THE
VERY COUNSEL ON BEHALF OF OUR
300 EMPLOYER MEMBERS WON'T BE
HERE IN SPORT. SENSOR WITH
BRONSTEIN. CHAIRMAN OF THE
COMMITTEE. CULTURE. ANYONE ELSE
IN SUPPORT IN THE ROOM. SEEN
NONE. ANYONE IN OPPOSITION TO
THE SPILL. COME FORWARD, PLEASE.
THANK YOU, MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS
MEGAN SUPERS ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA PROFESSIONAL
FIREFIGHTERS AND WITH THE
AMENDMENTS PROPOSED AS OUTLINED
IN THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS, CPF
WILL BE REMOVING OUR OPPOSITION
AND MOVED TO NEUTRAL. WE'D LIKE
TO THANK THE AUTHOR, AUTHOR
STAFF AND THE SPONSORS FOR
MEETING WITH US TO TALK THROUGH
OUR CONCERNS. WE THINK IT MAKES
SENSE AS A FIRST STEP FOR THE
STATE FIRE MARSHAL TO STUDY THE
ISSUE, STUDY THE IMPACTS ON THE
RESIDENTS AND ALSO FIRE SAFETY,
THE SAFETY OF THE FIREFIGHTERS
WHO NEED ACCESS TO THESE
BUILDINGS. UM AND SO WE
APPRECIATE THE AUTHORS
WILLINGNESS TO, UM, REFINED THE
GUAGE AND THE BILL AND WE REMOVE
OUR OPPOSITION. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. ANYONE ELSE IN OPPOSITION?
SEE NONE WILL BRING HIM BACK TO
THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS. ANY
QUESTIONS, COMMENTS COMMITTEE
MEMBERS. I THINK WE DO HAVE
EMOTION, RIGHT? OF EMOTION.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE BILL
FORWARD. YOU KNOW, MY THING IS
JUST THAT'S I'M GLAD YOU WERE
LOOKING ETHEL'S AMENDMENTS AND
WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE
FIREFIGHTERS BECAUSE THE LAST
THING ON MY MIND IS, LET'S NOT
COMPROMISE OUR FIRST RESPONDERS
AND THE FOLKS THAT MAY TRY TO
HELP IF THE NEED ARISES. SO
THANK YOU AGAIN. THE MOTIONS DO
PASS AS A MINUTE TO THE
COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
SECRETARY CARL IN ROME. HEY, B 8

PRESENT A B 513. YOU MAY PROCEED
WHEN READY.
WE HAVE TWO PRIMARY WITNESSES
ALSO IN SUPPORT. MARIA ELENA DAY
, LA GARZA COMMUNITY ACTION
BOARD OF SANTA CRUZ, AS WELL AS
NO PARAMO. CALIFORNIA RURAL
LEGAL ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION. AND
MR RODRIGUEZ, YOU MAY PROCEED.
THANK YOU COLLEAGUES. THIS BILL
WOULD ESTABLISH THE CALIFORNIA
INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE ACT TO BE
ADMINISTERED BY THE CALIFORNIA
OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES. O
ES. THE PURPOSE OF THIS BILL IS
TO PROVIDE TIMELY AND DIRECT
ASSISTANCE TO FAMILIES AND
INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE SUFFERED
HARM DUE TO LOCAL AND STATE
DECLARED DISASTERS. BUT WOULD
NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR OR MAY NOT
WARRANT FEDERAL DISASTER
ASSISTANCE FOR INDIVIDUALS. THIS
BILL PROVIDES LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
, COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS
AND INDIVIDUALS WITH ASSISTANCE
THEY NEED TO QUICKLY RECOVER
FROM A DISASTER TO OFTEN FEMA
AND COW YES, HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO
PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO THE MOST
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES WERE
DISASTER. SURVIVORS HAVE FEW
PATHS TO RECOVERY. THIS IS
CRITICAL BECAUSE EIGHT FROM FEMA
REMAINS OUT OF REACH FOR
FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS WHO
HAVE SURVIVED A DISASTER IF THE
LOCAL DISASTER DOES NOT MEET THE
CRITERIA FOR FEDERAL ASSISTANCE.
AFTER THE COMMUNITY OF PEROT WAS
FLOODED. I VISITED EVACUATIONS
SET IN WATSONVILLE, AND THERE
ARE WAY TOO MANY DISPLACED
FAMILIES WITH UNMET NEEDS. WHILE
THE COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATION
WE'RE STEPPING UP TO HELP THE
DISASTROUS SURVIVORS AT THIS
POINT, THEY HAVE RECEIVED NO
FEDERAL ASSISTANCE AND FELT
FORGOTTEN. WE NEED TO DO BETTER
. THIS BILL WILL HELP AS IT ALSO
REQUIRES COW ES TO RETROACTIVELY
PROVIDE INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE
FOR THE RECENT WINTER STORMS AND
FOR THE MAGNITUDE 6.4 EARTHQUAKE
, OFTEN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
COASTLINE NEAR THE CITY OF
FERNDALE IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY.
WITH ME IS TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT. MARIA DEL THE LEONARD
DELAGARZA AND NO PRIMERO. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. AND WHEN I
STARTED THIS TIME, MARIA ELENA
DE LA GARZA I'M, THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR TO THE COMMUNITY ACTION
BOARD OF SANTA CRUZ COUNTY. WE
EXIST TO ELIMINATE POVERTY AND
CREATE SOCIAL CHANGE, AND I AM
SO INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL TO
ASSEMBLY MEMBER RODRIGUEZ FOR
COMING AND VISITING. WE NEED TO
DO BETTER. THERE ARE THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DISPLACED IN
THE PARLOR VALLEY BECAUSE OF THE
RIVER BREACH. WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT 3000 FAMILIES WHO HAVE
NOWHERE TO LIVE WHO HAVE COME
BACK. TO THEIR COMMUNITY, AND,
UM, ARE DEALING WITH TOXIC MUD
AND JUST UNTIL LAST WEEK TOXIC
WATER. THESE FOLKS ARE ESSENTIAL
WORKERS. THERE ARE FARMWORKERS
AND THEY NEED SUPPORT. AND THEY
NEED HELP. WE HAVE BEEN THERE
THE COMMUNITY BASED
ORGANIZATIONS THAT I REPRESENT
MINE AND 70 OTHERS COALITION OF
MEMBERS WHO ARE TRYING TO FILL
THE GAPS THAT THAT WE HAVE SEEN.
SOME OF THE GAPS THAT WE HAVE
SEEN. OUR FAMILIES NOT ONLY
DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH, THEY DON'T
SPEAK SPANISH, THEIR INDIGENOUS
LANGUAGE SPEAKERS THAT SPEAK
MOSTLY MISTAKE OVER KHÓ. UM AND
SO AS YOU CAN IMAGINE OUR
PARTNERS. OUR GOVERNMENT
PARTNERS ARE HAVING A THERE'S A
GAP IN THE WAY THOSE FAMILIES
ARE BEING SERVED, AND SO
COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS
HAVE HELPED SUPPORT WITH FOOD
HAVE HELPED SUPPORT WITH
ECONOMIC RELIEF. WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT FAMILIES WHO HAVE NOT
WORKED SINCE THE SEASON AND ARE
NOT GOING TO WORK IN UNTIL
AUGUST OF THIS YEAR. THERE ARE
NO REVENUES, NO INCOME. WE NEED
ECONOMIC RELIEF FOR THESE
FAMILIES, AND WE NEED IT
URGENTLY. WE HAVE BEEN PART WITH
PARTNERS WITH PHILANTHROPIC
PARTNERS, THE COMMUNITY
FOUNDATION OF SANTA CRUZ COUNTY
AND THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF
MONTEREY COUNTY, AND WE'VE
RAISED ABOUT $900,000 THAT HAVE
GONE OUT THE DOOR SINCE JANUARY
. 1ST 300,000 HAS HAVE BEEN
DIRECTED TO PAARL RIVER BREACH.
HOWEVER, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
$500. FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO
INCOME AND NEED TO PAY THEIR
RENT AND NEED TO PAY FOOD AND
THE NEW REFRIGERATORS NEED NEW
STOVES NEED NEW NEW CRIBS FOR
THEIR CHILDREN, PLEASE, I URGE
YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION
. IT IS URGENT. THERE ARE PEOPLE
WHO ARE NEEDING SUPPORT NOW, AND
THESE ARE THE ESSENTIAL WORKERS
WHO ARE PICKING OUR STRAWBERRIES
AND CUTTING OUR LETTUCE. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. WE URGE FOR YOUR
SUPPORT. GOOD AFTERNOON

DISASTERS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT? SEEING

THING NONE WOULD LIKE TO BRING

RECEIVED SO MANY DISASTERS IN
STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR SIX
YEARS. UM WE SAW TREMENDOUS
FIRES AND DEVASTATION IN THE
NORTH STATE WORLD. I REPRESENT
THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE
NEED TO HELP DO GET PEOPLE BACK
ON THEIR FEET. CAN BE PRODUCTIVE
TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE
FOOD, FOOD ON THEIR TABLES AND A
ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS. SO THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S. YEAH.
I CAN HEAR YOU. SO WE DO HAVE
EMOTION IN THE SECOND. MR
RODRIGUEZ. WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE MY VOTE? THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. THE MOTION IS DUE PASS WITH
AN URGENCY CLAUSE TO THE
COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS.
SECRETARY. PLEASE CALL THE VOTE.
HEY B 5 13 RODRIGUEZ MOTION. IT
JUMPED THE GUN MOTION IS DUE
PASS WITH AN URGENCY CLAUSE TO
THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS.
RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ, I, WALDRON
WALDRON. I CURRY CURRY. I
ALVAREZ ALVAREZ. AYE. CALLED
AROUND CALLED AROUND. I DALLI
DALLI. AYE. BROUGH. THAT BILL IS
OUT. AND WE'RE GOING TO MOVE A
LITTLE OUT OF ORDER AGAIN TO A B
944. MR IRWIN.
I'LL GO VERY QUICK, THEN 89 44
WILL REQUIRE FIRE STATIONS HAVE
AN ALTERNATE SOURCE OF POWER TO
KEEP ALL NECESSARILY FUNCTION
NECESSARY FUNCTIONS OF A STATION
ONLINE DURING A POWER OUTAGE.
OUR COMMUNITIES RELY ON 847 FIRE
STATIONS ACROSS OUR STATE TO BE
PROPERLY EQUIPPED TO RESPOND TO
MILLIONS OF EMERGENCIES
ANNUALLY. WITH OUR CURRENT
CLIMATE CRISIS, BRINGING FORTH
HEATWAVES AND WILDFIRES, BOTH
PLANNED AND UNPLANNED OUTAGES
WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR. I HAVE
TO SAY WHEN I, UH GOT THE NEW
CITIES IN MY DISTRICT. I WENT
FOR A TOUR OF SOME OF THE FIRE
STATIONS, AND I WAS TRULY
ASTOUNDED TO LEARN. THEY HAD NO
BACKUP POWER. SO THE CURRENT LAW
I FOUND OUT THAT THE CURRENT LAW
DOESN'T ENSURE THAT FIRE
STATIONS HAVE PROPER BACKUP
POWER IN PLACE. AND IF YOU DON'T
HAVE POWER, YOU OBVIOUSLY CANNOT
RAISE YOUR GARAGE DOOR. IF YOU
CANNOT FUEL YOUR FIRE TRUCK
UNLESS IT'S BY HAND. YOU CAN'T
TURN ON THE TV AND YOUR
REFRIGERATOR DOESN'T WORK
EITHER. THROUGH THIS BILL,
CALIFORNIA WILL ENSURE THAT ALL
FIRE STATIONS WILL WITHSTAND THE
VAST MAJORITY OF POWER OUTAGES
AS THE SAFETY OF ALL
CALIFORNIANS RELIES ON THE
PREPARED PREPAREDNESS OF OUR
FIRST RESPONDERS. UM THANK YOU,
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
VOTE. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE IN
THE ROOM FOR SUPPORT? SEEN NONE.
ANYONE IN THE ROOM OPPOSITION TO
THIS BILL. SEE NOW COME BACK TO
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. QUESTIONS

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND
OBVIOUSLY THE WOULD YOU HAVE
IRAQ? OH, AND I JUST WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS BILL
FORWARD IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT
WE KEEP OUR FIRE STATIONS
OPERATIONAL. 24 7 AN EVENT OF A
DISASTER, PARTICULARLY WHEN IT
COMES TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF
THE BUILDING THAT EVERYTHING IS
WORKING CONDITION. 24 7 SO ONCE
AGAIN, YOU HAVE A MOTION SECOND
AND DO PASSED AN AMENDMENT TO
THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
SECRETARY CARTER. OH, PLEASE.
MAYBE 944 IRWIN. THE MOTION IS

COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS.
RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ. I WALDRON
WALDRON, I AGUIAR-CURRY. GERRY
CURRY, I ALVAREZ ALVAREZ. I
CALLED AROUND CALDERON. AYE
DOLLY! DARLING, I BROUGH. THAT
BUILDERS OUT THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. METAL BACK TO ME, RIGHT?
YEAH. WHICH ONE WAS IT? SO. NOW
WE WILL. WE WILL HEAR A B 15 OH,
FIVE. BYE, MR RODRIGUEZ.
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS.
YOU KNOW IT COMES TO PREPARING
FOR A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE IN
CALIFORNIA IS ONLY A MATTER OF
TIME. IF NOT NOT IF AND WE NEED
TO BE PREPARED FOR AN EARTHQUAKE
IN THE MINISTER OF OTHER
DISASTERS, WHETHER IT BE FLOODS,
FIRES OR PANDEMIC. WE MUST ALSO
BE MINDFUL OF THE LESSONS FROM
THE DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKES IN
TURKEY AND SYRIA. AS YOU KNOW.
EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE COMMITTEE
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT HOW THE
HEARING TO SAYS CALIFORNIA'S
PREPAREDNESS FOR MAJOR
EARTHQUAKES. THE HEARING. MADE
IT CLEAR THAT WE NEED TO ADOPT A
REAL SENSE OF URGENCY WHEN IT
COMES TO PREPARING OUR
COMMUNITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE
FOR CATASTROPHIC EARTHQUAKE IN
CALIFORNIA. AS YOU KNOW. LAST
YEAR WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN
ESTABLISHING A 250 MILLION
SEISMIC RETROFIT PROGRAM FOR
MULTI FAMILY SOFT STORY HOMES.
UNFORTUNATELY THE ADMINISTRATION
HAS PROPOSED TO DELAY THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CRITICAL
INITIATIVE. DON'T BE FOOLED BY
THOSE WHO WOULD DISMISS TURKEY
AS A DEVELOPING COUNTRY WAS
SUBSTANDARD BUILDING CODES OR
THOSE WHO CLAIM THAT AN
EARTHQUAKE OF SUCH MAGNITUDE
COULD NOT OCCUR IN CALIFORNIA
ARE THOSE WHO HAD DISMISSED THE
POSSIBILITY OF COLLAPSED
BUILDINGS. WHEN YOU LOOK BACK AT
MY EXPERIENCES OF THE FIRST
RESPONDERS DURING THE 1994
NORTHRIDGE EARTHQUAKE, I SEE
DEATHS, INJURIES AND MULTIPLE
COLLAPSED BUILDINGS THAT COULD
HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. IT IS WHY I
AM SO COMMITTED TO MAKING THE
STATE DO MORE TO ENCOURAGE
SEISMIC SEISMIC RETROFITS,
PROTECT THE MOST VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE.
WITH THAT I HAVE TWO INNOCENT
SUPPORT. RYAN CARTER SEEN US
RESILIENCY COUNSELOR AND SARAH
ATKINSON, SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
PLANNING AND URBAN RIGHT
RESEARCH ASSOCIATION HERE TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU.
CHAIR AND MEMBERS. I'M RYAN
KIRSTEN. AND I'M HERE TODAY AS A
PRACTICING STRUCTURAL
ENGINEERING WORK HERE IN
SACRAMENTO WITH BUELLER
ENGINEERING, ONE OF THE FOUNDING
MEMBERS OF THE U. S RESILIENCY
COUNCIL WHO IS THE SPONSOR OF
THIS BILL? 15 OH, FIVE. HAPPY
TO, UH, TO TALK ABOUT THE
IMPORTANCE OF OUR BILL AND THE
FUNDING FOR THIS IMPORTANT
PROGRAM. THE U. S. R. C S
MISSION IS TO IMPROVE COMMUNITY
RESILIENCE BY ADVOCATING TO MAKE
BUILDINGS RESILIENT TO NATURAL
DISASTERS. AND I'M HERE TODAY TO
URGE YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS BILL
AND THIS CRITICAL PROGRAM. THE
RECENT EARTHQUAKE IN TURKEY
SHOULD BE A REMINDER TO US HERE
IN CALIFORNIA ABOUT THE RISK OF
A SEVERELY DISRUPTIVE IF NOT
CATASTROPHIC, EARTHQUAKE. EVEN
HERE IN CALIFORNIA, WE STILL
HAVE A LOT OF WORK THAT WE NEED
TO DO. THE USGS SHAKEOUT
SCENARIO PREDICTS WHAT WOULD
FOLLOW A SIMILAR SIZED MAGNITUDE
7.8 EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA. PREDICTING NEARLY
800 DEATHS, 50,000 INJURIES AND
THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE THAN
250,000 RESIDENTS TO BE
DISPLACED FROM THEIR HOMES. MANY
OF THOSE IMPACTED WILL LIVE IN
SOFT STORY APARTMENT BUILDINGS
EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE IS THAT
THIS RETROFIT PROGRAM WOULD FIX.
THE U. S. R C ESTIMATES THAT
CALIFORNIA HAS APPROXIMATELY
100,000 SOFT STORY APARTMENT
BUILDINGS THAT MAY HOUSE UPWARD
OF 2.5 MILLION PEOPLE. NEARLY
EVERY COUNTY IN THIS STATE HAS
DOZENS TO THOUSANDS OF THESE
STRUCTURES. THE GOOD NEWS IS
THAT THESE TYPES OF BUILDINGS
ARE TYPICALLY EASIER TO FIX, AND
THEY TEND TO BE ECONOMICAL TO
FIX BY ADDING STEEL FRAMES OR
WOOD WALLS OR CONCRETE OR
MASONRY WALLS TO THE FIRST STORY
. THE RETROPHIN GRANT PROGRAM
ALSO ADDRESSES THE ASPECT OF
EQUITY AS MANY OF THESE
BUILDINGS HOUSE ARE MOST
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, SENIORS
, LOWER INCOME FAMILIES OR THOSE
WITH DISABILITIES. FURTHERMORE
THIS RETROFIT PROGRAM WOULD
PROTECT THE WORKFORCES OF OUR
COMMUNITIES ARE SMALL BUSINESSES
, PRESERVED PROPERTY TAX
REVENUES THAT CITIES AND
COUNTIES WILL DESPERATELY NEED
AFTER A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE. I'D
LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE U. S
RESILIENCE, A COUNCIL ASSEMBLED
A DIVERSE COALITION OF
SUPPORTERS OF THIS BILL,
INCLUDING LOCAL AND STATEWIDE,
FAIR HOUSING, ADVOCACY GROUPS
AND APARTMENT ALSO ASSOCIATIONS
, ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS
AND CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE, CITIES
AND BUILDERS. I THINK YOU'D
AGREE THESE ARE NOT GROUPS ARE
USUALLY ON THE AGREE ON A WHOLE
LOT TOGETHER, BUT TO COME
TOGETHER FOR TO SUPPORT THIS
RETROFIT PROGRAM IS TRULY
UNPRECEDENTED AND REFLECTS THE
IMPORTANCE OF THE FUNDING. I'D
ALSO LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO
SPEAK TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS ASSOCIATION
OF CALIFORNIA OR CEO, AS WELL AS
THE EARTHQUAKE, INJURING
RESEARCH INSTITUTE OR EAT YOUR
EYE TOGETHER. THESE
ORGANIZATIONS HAVE BOTH BEEN
ACTIVE FOR OVER 75 YEARS AND
REPRESENT THOUSANDS OF MEMBERS
IN CALIFORNIA AND THROUGHOUT THE
U. S WHO ARE THE EXPERTS WHEN IT
COMES UNDERSTANDING EFFECTIVE
POLICIES REGARDING EARTHQUAKE
PREPAREDNESS OF OUR COMMUNITIES
OR ORGANIZATIONS AND OUR FELLOW
CITIZENS? YOU CAN EAT YOUR I
HAVE RECENTLY PUBLISHED A JOINT
POLICY AGENDA THAT IS FOUNDED ON
THREE KEY PRINCIPLES WITH
RETROFIT OF VULNERABLE EXISTING
BUILDINGS, PARTICULARLY HOUSING
BEING ONE OF THE THREE KEY
PILLARS OF THE AGENDA.
UNDERSTANDING HOW CRITICAL IT IS
FOR OUR FELLOW CITIZENS TO BE
PROTECTED IN THEIR HOMES IN
ORDER FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO START
THE RECOVERY PROCESS. YAKKING ER
I OR BOTH PLEASED TO SUPPORT
THIS BILL. ON BEHALF OF THE
LARGE AND DIVERSE COALITION
ASSEMBLED BY THE U. S. R C
STRONGLY URGED THE COMMITTEE TO
SUPPORT THE 15 OH FIVE AND
PROVIDE THIS NECESSARY FUNDING
FOR THE SOFT STORY MITIGATION
PROGRAM. THANK YOU. GOOD
AFTERNOON, MR CHAIR, MADAM VICE
CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE.
MY NAME IS SARAH ATKINSON. I
LIVE IN OAKLAND, AND I AM THE
EARTHQUAKE RESILIENCE POLICY
MANAGER AT SPUR, A PUBLIC POLICY
NONPROFIT BASED IN THE BAY AREA.
I'M HERE REPRESENTING SPUR THE
CITIES OF SAN JOSE, BURLINGAME,
ALAMEDA AND MOUNTAIN VIEW ALONG
WITH DR RISE, A SAN MATEO COUNTY
COALITION OF COMMUNITY
ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVE IN
DISASTER. THE SEISMIC
RETROFITTING PROGRAM FOR SOFT
STORY MULTI FAMILY HOUSING
RECOGNIZES THE GREATEST ACTOR
HAZARD THE CALIFORNIA FACES AND
HAS IMPLICATIONS. IMPLICATIONS
FOR CALIFORNIA'S EMERGENCY
PREPAREDNESS, HOUSING, SECURITY
, SOCIAL EQUITY AND CLIMATE
GOALS. A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE IN
CALIFORNIA COULD DAMAGE TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF HOMES, CREATING AN
ACUTE HOUSING CRISIS IN THE
MIDST OF A CHRONIC ONE. THE
ASSOCIATION OF BAY AREA
GOVERNMENTS ESTIMATES THAT BEAR
THE AREA HAS ABOUT 24,000 UNITS
IN AT RISK OFF STORY APARTMENT
BUILDINGS AS THESE ARE OLDER
BUILDINGS. MANY OF THESE UNITS
ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO THE STATES,
NATURALLY, NATURALLY OCCURRING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. LOSS OF
THESE APARTMENT BUILDINGS WOULD
INCREASE HOMELESSNESS,
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED
ADVANTAGE AND VULNERABLE
COMMUNITY MEMBERS LIKE ELDER
LIKE THE ELDERLY, LIVING ON
FIXED INCOMES, WORKING FAMILIES,
MINORITIES AND STUDENTS. DESPITE
THE GREAT WORK OF THE CALIFORNIA
EARTHQUAKE AUTHORITY AND
RETROFITTING AT RISK HOMES,
THEIR STATE SUPPORTED GRANT
PROGRAMS CURRENTLY ONLY PROVIDE
FUNDING FOR OWNER OCCUPIED
MAJORITY. SINGLE FAMILY FAMILY
HOMES. HOWEVER 1 44% OF
CALIFORNIA HOUSEHOLDS ARE
RENTERS LIKE MYSELF. MAYBE 15
OH, FIVE, OFFERS THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PROTECT THIS POPULATION BY
FOCUSING ON PROTECTING MULTI
FAMILY HOUSING. AS THE EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE. YOU ARE
TASKED WITH PREPARING FOR THE
WORST CASE SCENARIO. SO WHAT IF
A MAJOR EARTHQUAKE HAPPENED
DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC
WHEN WE WERE DIRECTED TO SHELTER
IN PLACE WITH ARE ALREADY
OVERWHELMED HOSPITALS? WHAT
WOULD WE HAVE DONE? HOW WOULD
YOU HAVE MANAGED THE SPREAD OF
COVID IN TEMPORARY SHELTERS
REQUIRED TO HOUSE DISPLACED
RESIDENTS? AS CHAIR. RODRIGUEZ
HAS WHY IT'S LI SAID THE BEST
WAY TO MANAGE MULTIPLE
OVERLAPPING HAZARDS IS TO BE
PREPARED AS POSSIBLE. MAYBE 15
OH, FIVE, IS A MAJOR STEP IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION. IN THE
DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKES IN
TURKEY AND SYRIA. SOFT STORY
BUILDINGS WERE AMONG THE MANY
THAT COLLAPSED, HAVING GROWN UP
IN CALIFORNIA AND HOPING TO
RAISE A FAMILY HERE. I DO NOT
WANT TO SEE OUR STATE SUFFER A
SIMILAR DISASTER. DESPITE SAN
FRANCISCO, ALREADY HAVING
COMPLETED 90% OF SOFT STORY
RETROFITS, THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS PASTOR RESOLUTION
LAST MONTH IN SUPPORT OF A B 15
OH, FIVE, RECOGNIZING THE
IMPORTANCE FOR THE BARRIERS AND
THE STATE'S EARTHQUAKE
PREPAREDNESS. I APPLAUD YOU FOR
SUPPORTING THIS FUNDING LAST
YEAR, AND I URGE YOU AGAIN TO
VOTE IN FAVOR OF MAYBE 15. OH,
FIVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU ARE THERE OTHER
SUPPORTERS IN THE AUDIENCE.
PLEASE COME FORWARD NAME
ORGANIZATION. HI, ETHAN NAGLER.
I'M OUT FOR THE CITY OF AROUND
YOU AND SUPPORT GOOD AFTERNOON
MEMBERS. BRADY GARDEN ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING
OFFICIALS AND STRONG SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL. THANK YOU. IS HE
SWINDLER ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS OF SAN FRANCISCO
AND SUPPORT CHRIS KAHN,
REPRESENTING THE BUILDING
INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND SUPPORT THANK YOU
ARE THERE ANY WITNESSES AND
OPPOSITION? SAYING NONE OF WILL
BRING IT TO THE COMMITTEE FOR
QUESTIONS, MR ALBERS THANK YOU.
I WANT TO START BY ACKNOWLEDGING
THE WORK OF THE CHAIRMAN LAST
YEAR ON THIS, UM AND I GUESS MY
FIRST QUESTION IS, IS THIS BEING
DELAYED OR COMPLETELY NOT FUNDED
IN THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET? HAS
BEEN DELAYED UNTIL NEXT YEAR.
BUT I THINK WE NEED TO ADDRESS
IT NOW. CAN'T KEEP CONTINUED TO
DELAY THIS. I AGREE WITH YOU, UM
I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
I'VE LEARNED AND IF ANYONE WANTS
TO SHARE IS THAT SOME OF THESE
RETROFITS AREN'T EVEN
NECESSARILY VERY EXPENSIVE. UM,
CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THAT? BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S
IMPORTANT TO EDUCATE JUST THE
COMMUNITY ABOUT YEAH, I THINK IN
TERMS OF EASE OF RETROFIT THESE
ARE SOME OF THE EASIER RETROFITS
TO DO. SOFT STORY TENDS TO BE A
LITTLE BIT MORE ACCESSIBLE TO DO
THE CONSTRUCTION AND THAT MEANS
YOU'RE NOT DISPLACING RESIDENTS,
USUALLY AND SO THE COST OF IT IS
NOT JUST ALL OF THE MATERIAL,
BUT OBVIOUSLY THE DISPLACEMENT
FACTOR, SO IT'S MUCH MORE
ECONOMICAL. I DON'T HAVE THE
STATS RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF ME.
I MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND HIM HERE
BEFORE THE END OF THE HEARING
THAT FOR AND YOU ARE SAYING
ABOUT 5000 PER BUILDING COMPARED
TO 6 700,000 TO REPLACE A HIGHER
RIGHT AND THEN ON THE NUMBER OF
UNITS I UNDERSTAND SPUR
MENTIONED THE JUST IN THE BAY
AREA ALONE. I THINK IT'S 20 PLUS
1000. IS THERE AN ESTIMATE FOR
THE NATURALLY AFFORDABLE UNITS?
IS THERE AN ESTIMATE FOR THE
STATEWIDE? NOT ON A I DON'T HAVE
THE NUMBER FOR AFFORDABLE UNITS
DO YOU KNOW AND THE 24,000 UNITS
WAS ALL ACROSS THE BAY AREA? UM
BUT I THINK THAT YOU SRC HAS
ESTIMATED 100,000 UNITS TOTAL IS
MY UNDERSTANDING OR MAYBE
BUILDINGS, UM, THAT HAVE THIS
PROBLEM, AND QUITE A FEW OF THEM
ARE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
POPULATION. APPRECIATE IT. AGAIN
APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT WAS
ALREADY DONE ON THIS. UM IT WAS
DISAPPOINTING TO SEE THAT NOT
BEING IN THE BUDGET AND
HOPEFULLY MOVE THIS FORWARD IN
AN URGENT URGENCY MANNER. WE CAN
GET THIS FUNDING THIS YEAR VERY
MUCH IN SUPPORT NAMES OF BILL.
GO AHEAD, HELP CLEAR MY MIND
BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER
EVERYTHING FROM LAST YEAR. THIS
IS APPLIED TO ANY HISTORIC
BUILDINGS THAT HAVE APARTMENTS
IN THEM IN HISTORIC DOWNTOWN.
NOT FROM AWARE, BUT THAT CAN
FIND OUT FOR SURE, BECAUSE
THAT'S WHAT MY CONCERN IS
BECAUSE THERE ARE APARTMENTS IN
A LOT OF OUR HISTORIC TIMES
COMMUNITIES, PARTICULARLY IN
RURAL AREAS. AND DON'T GO THAT
QUICK, AND I KNOW THEY'VE BEEN
LOOKING FOR FUNDING AND TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS. SO
I JUST WANTED TO ASK IF THAT
MIGHT HAVE BEEN AND I JUST I CAN
DOUBLE CHECK AND GET BACK TO
YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. IS THERE A
SECOND TO THE MOTION? OKAY? THE
MOTION AND A SECOND, MR
RODRIGUEZ. WOULD YOU LIKE TO
