CHAIR TEAM OF VICE CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE AMY
JARVIS THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
COMMENT ON THE LEGISLATURE'S
BUDGET. BY THE LEGISLATURE'S
BUDGET INCLUDES DIFFERENT
PROPOSALS AND APPROACHES TO
ADDRESSING THE BUDGET PROBLEM
THAN THE GOVERNOR'S NAY REVISION
WE DO RECOGNIZE THAT LIKE THE
MAY REVISION THE LEGISLATURE'S
BUDGET PROTECTS MANY OF THE
STATE'S CORE PROGRAMS INCLUDING
AND HEALTH CARE HUMAN SERVICES.
EDUCATION HOMELESSNESS AND
CLIMATE ALL WHILE ADDRESSING A
BUDGET SHORTFALL OF MORE THAN
THIRTY BILLION DOLLARS WE ALSO
NOTE THAT LIKE THE MAY REVISION
THE LEGISLATURE'S BUDGET
RECOGNIZES THE POTENTIAL RISKS
TO OUR FISCAL OUTLOOK. THAT LIE
AHEAD SUCH AS HIGH INTEREST
RATES CONTINUED FINANCIAL
INSTITUTION UNCERTAINTY THE
DELAY OF MORE THAN FORTY BILLION
DOLLARS IN PERSONAL AND
CORPORATE TAX RECEIPTS UNTIL
OCTOBER. IT DOES SO BY
MAINTAINING THE BALANCE IN THE
RAINY DAY FUND A KEY BUDGET TOOL
AN IMPORTANT INSURANCE POLICY.
THE MAY REVISION UNLIKE THE
LEGISLATURE'S BUDGET DOES NOT
INCLUDE SIGNIFICANT NEW
DISCRETIONARY SPENDING. AND HOLD
THE LINE ON THE ONGOING
SPENDING. THE ADMINISTRATION
LOOKS FORWARD TO HAVING
CONTINUED CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
LEGISLATURE TO REACH A BUDGET
AGREEMENT THAT PROTECTS THE
VITAL PROGRAMS MAINTAINS BUDGET
RESILIENCY. AND ADDS ADVANCES
OUR SHARED PRIORITIES THANK YOU
AGAIN FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
COMMENT. I AM JOINED BY MY
COLLEAGUES TODAY AND WE ARE
HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS
THANK YOU. THANK YOU L. A. ONLY
COMES. GREAT ARE. WE ASSEMBLY
BUDGETS WE HAVEN'T DON'T HAVE
ANY COMMENTS FROM US. OKAY FROM-
I THINK JUST GOING TO THE
NUMBERS TO SEE IF THEY HAVE ANY
. FOR ANY OF THE FOLKS WILL GROW
BY STIR FONG. I THINK IT WAS
CHAIR- I GUESS MY FIRST QUESTION
AND MAYBE IT'S TO CHRISTIAN OR
MAYBE IT'S IN PART FINANCE- HAVE
HAVE THE REVENUE ESTIMATES-
CHANGED. ENOUGH TO ALLOW THIS
BUDGET FRAMEWORK- TO SPEND ABOUT
THREE BILLION MORE. THAN THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL- IN TWENTY
TWENTY TWENTY TWENTY FOUR HELP
ME UNDERSTAND HOW- THE MAY
REVISION WESTERN SEVEN BILLION.
THIS ONE I THINK SCORES OUT OF
THREE HUNDRED AND TEN GENERAL
ELEVEN BILLION- IT ADDED THE
HAVE THE REVENUE ESTIMATES
CHANGED. MR FONG ON THE THERE IS
A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN THE
REVENUE ESTIMATES BETWEEN THIS
VERSION AND WHICH IS ACTUALLY
WAS IN OUR SOME VERSION AND THE
VISION IN THE WAY THAT IT TREATS
PROPERTY TAX REVENUE SO THE
BREEZE IN LA- PROPERTY TAXES BUT
OVERALL WE HAVE THE SAME
REVENUES AS THE MAYOR VISION. I
THINK YOU KNOW WHAT SINCE WE'RE
PRETTY CLOSE TO THE MAYOR VISION
RESERVE LEVELS AND ALSO
BASICALLY AT THE SAME LEVEL WE
WERE WITH THE BUDGET THAT WE
PRESENTED. IN FULL COMMITTEE
LAST TIME I THINK WHAT YOU SEE
IS MOVE EIGHT EXPANSION OF
AROUND BETWEEN YEARS TO ACHIEVE
THAT OUTCOME SO I THINK YOU KNOW
KIND OF WHAT YOU'RE COMPARING
APPLES TO APPLES ISN'T QUITE THE
SAME BECAUSE I THINK WE'VE-
WE'VE ACTUALLY HAVE MORE SAVINGS
AND- CURRENT YEAR TO MAKE THE
BUDGET YOU'RE WORKING AND THAT'S
WHY. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S MORE
SPENDING EVEN THOUGH THE RESERVE
LEVELS THE SAME IN THE RABBINATE
LEVELS ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME.
THIS IS A MAYBE I CAN BE AGO TO
THE TO PART OF FINANCE. I MEAN
DO YOU DO YOU SEE RED NUMBERS AT
ALL I MET A- OR MADE. HOW DO YOU
TO IT DOES HAVE A THE REVENUE
EMERGE CHE AND TO JUST. A THE
THREE BY DOLLAR TO. BETWEEN THE
MAYOR OF IT BETWEEN THE BLESSED
OF. BASEL THE MAYOR OF THE- M.
WE TYPICALLY DO NOT UP OUR READ
AS TO AFTER THE MAYOR OF A- AND
. I'M HI CHRIS MENSCH. ON THE
ONLY. IS THAT A. THAT. THIS PLAN
. USES THE L. A. O.'S PROP TAX
REVENUE. OKAY. I MEAN YOU MAY BE
ABLE TO THE L. L. IT IS WAS IS
IT WAS MENTION. IN YOU WROTE IN
THE- NOW. OF MARYVILLE. THAT
THAT THERE. I WILL ALL USE THE
PHRASE THERE'S RISKY REVENUE
ESTIMATES THAT WASN'T WHAT YOU
WOULD YOU SAID BUT- BUT THAT YOU
WROTE THAT THERE'S ARE A ROUGHLY
TWO THIRDS CHANCE REVENUES TO
BECOME. WILL COME AND LOWER.
THEN WHAT THE GOVERNOR ESTIMATES
AND THE ADOPTING THEM WOULD.
PRESENT CONSIDERABLE DOWNSIDE
RISK. SO SINCE THIS PROPOSAL-
MIRRORS THE- GOVERNORS MAY
REVISION. WHAT ANALYSIS DO YOU
HAVE IN TERMS OF THE ASSUMPTION
THAT THE LEGISLATURE'S. PROPOSAL
MAKES IN TERMS OF THE USING THE
GOVERNOR'S. REVENUE NUMBERS. HI
CAROLYN TO FROM LA- SO YES THE
LEGISLATURE'S BUDGET PACKAGE
DOES USE THE ADMINISTRATION'S
ESTIMATE AS OF MAY THERE ARE
SOME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN YOURS
AS YOU NOTED IN TERMS OF THE
EXPENDITURES BUT OVERALL THE
LEVEL OF RESOURCES IS THE SAME.
AND IN TERMS OF OUR REVENUE
ESTIMATES THAT WE PUT TOGETHER-
AT ARE A LITTLE BIT AFTER THE
DEPARTMENT FINANCING MAY. I THEY
ARE LOWER ABOUT ELEVEN BILLION
DOLLARS LOWER AND WHICH-
INCREASES THE BUDGET PROBLEM BY
ABOUT SIX BILLION. AND WE DID
SET THE TIME THAT WE DO THINK
THE ADMINISTRATION'S ESTIMATES
ARE PLAUSIBLE AND YOU KNOW IN
THE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE STATE
GENERAL FUND BUDGET SIX BELOW AT
ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS IS NOT.
IT ENORMOUS IN TERMS OF
DIFFERENCE BUT IT IS A
DIFFERENCE WE DO WE DO STILL
THINK THERE'S DOWNSIDE RISK
GIVEN- THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE
ECONOMY AND THAT CONTINUED- HIGH
INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT- AND
WE CAN'T PREDICT WITH CERTAINTY
WHETHER OR NOT THERE WILL BE A
RECESSION OR NOT BUT IT DOES
APPEAR THAT CALIFORNIA. IS IN A
REVENUE DOWNTURN. SO THE
FOLLOWING THAT THAT LINE OF
ANALYSIS. YOUR YOUR CHARTS IN
YOUR WE MUST RECENT- REPORT
INDICATED THAT THAT THE BUDGETS
CREATE ONGOING DEFICITS. IN
FUTURE YEARS DOES THIS
LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK. SOLVE ANY
OF THOSE FUTURE DEFICITS WHETHER
IT'S THIS ONE WHEN THE MAY
REVISION. THE MAYOR VISION DID
NOT ADDRESS THE MULTI YEAR
DEFICITS AND YOU ARE CORRECT
THAT OUR ANALYSIS PARTICULARLY
IN THE OUT YEARS FOUND ON THAT
THE LEVEL OF EXPENDITURES AND-
WOULD BE. LESS LIKELY TO BE
SUPPORTED- ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT WE NOTED AT THAT TIME WAS
THAT THERE REMAINS IN THIS
BUDGET PACKAGE AND IN FUTURE
YEARS PLAN SPENDING SIGNIFICANT
ONE TIME SPENDING THAT COULD BE
A- SORT OF THE FIRST LINE. I TO
CONSIDER ADDRESSING THOSE
POTENTIAL FUTURE BUDGET
PROBLEMS. ALL NOTE THAT REVENUE
ESTIMATES THREE YEARS- FROM OUR
PARTICULAR ON CERTAIN BUT IS THE
BEST BEST WE HAVE AT THIS TIME.
AND AS FOR AS FAR AS WE'RE AWARE
THE LEGISLATURE'S BUDGET PACKAGE
MAINTAINS GENERALLY THE
FRAMEWORK THAT WAS. IN THE MAY
REVISION IN TERMS OF THE MULTI
YEAR SPENDING. SO I. N. BI N.
YOU'RE ALSO IN THE SAME
ANNOUNCES THAT THE L. A. OUT AND
IN ALL IN YOUR AND YOUR-
RECOMMENDATION I MEAN YOU ADVISE
THAT. SHOULD REVENUES COME IN
LOWER THAN EXPECTED AND THERE
WILL BE MORE. BUDGET SOLUTIONS
CUTS HOWEVER YOU WANT TO ROUTE
TO PHRASE IT WELL WHAT BE DONE
IN THE FUTURE. THERE ARE AT
LEAST IN THE MAY REVISION THERE
IS ABOUT ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS
IN ONE TIME SPENDING THAT WAS
MAINTAINED IN THE BUDGET YEAR
AND I GENERALLY SPEAKING THE
SPEAKING THE LEGISLATORS PACKAGE
MAINTAINS A LOT OF THAT ONE TIME
SPENDING. SO SHOULD REVENUES
COME IN LOWER THAN ANTICIPATED
BY THIS PACKAGE. ON THE
LEGISLATURE WILL WOULD HAVE THE
OPTION TO LOOK AT THE EXTENT TO
WHICH THOSE EXPENDITURES HAVE
BEEN MADE YET AS ONE OF THE-
OPPORTUNITIES TO US ALL THE
BUDGET PROBLEMS LET ME TO
SIMPLIFY I THINK WHAT YOU'RE
TRYING TO SAY IS THAT. IF THE
REVENUES COME IN LOWER WE'VE GOT
BUDGET PROBLEMS. IT REVENUES
COME IN LOWER THAN YOU WOULD YES
THERE WOULD BE THERE WOULD BE A
BUDGET PROBLEM YES SO TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. HAVE YOU
SEE. WHEN YOU SCORE THIS
PROPOSAL OR AND OF COURSE IN
EVEN IN YOUR MAY REVISION. ARE
THEIR DEFICITS IN THE OUT YEARS
. AND WHEN AND IF SO WHAT ARE
THEY- I DON'T THINK WE CAN SAY
I'M SORRY I DON'T HAVE THAT
INFORMATION IN FRONT OF ME BUT
WE'RE NOT EXPECTING- REVENUE
INCREASES NECESSARILY IN THE
FUTURE SO. SO IN THE MAYOR
VISION DO YOU HAVE DEFICITS IN
THE OUT YEARS. YOU DON'T KNOW
THAT OR YOU HAVEN'T DONE IT. IS
I BELIEVE YOU HAVE DONE IT I CAN
READ IT TO YOU BUT I WOULD LIKE
YOU TO SAY IT TO ME AT LEAST.
THE FINDINGS. ARE YES YOU ARE
CORRECT THERE ARE DEFICITS THAT
ARE IN THE CURRENT OUT YOUR PLAN
OKAY AND WHAT ARE THOSE NUMBERS.
I DID NOT BRING THE EXACT
NUMBERS WITH ME FOR THE MULTI
YEAR BUT I BELIEVE- THE LARGEST
OF WHICH IS IN THE FINAL OF THE
FIVE YEAR FORECAST AND IT'S
ABOUT FOURTEEN BILLION DOLLARS.
OKAY SIT. C. M. BRING YOU CAN
BRING YOUR HOUSES WITH YOU TO A
BUDGET COMMITTEE HEARING. I WAS
PLANNING TO DISCUSS YOUR PLANS
SO I APOLOGIZE. WELL THIS ONE
HERE'S YOUR PLAN RIGHT I YES
THIS FOR THE OUT YEARS FOR THIS
WE USUALLY JUST DO THE BUDGET
WINDOW IT FINANCE WE DON'T DO
THE MULTI YEAR UNTIL THE FINAL
AGREEMENT SO. IN THIS OF IN
TERMS OF YOUR AND YOUR NOW YOUR
NOSES OF THE MAY REVISION WHAT
IS THE OUT YEAR DEFICITS IN THE
MAY REVISION. OF FOR I BELIEVE
THE HIGHEST POINT IS FOURTEEN
BILLION DOLLARS. FOURTEEN
BILLION WITH AND WHAT YOU IN
NEXT YEAR AND- NO IN THE FINAL
YEAR TWENTY. SIX TWENTY SEVEN
OKAY SO WHAT IS THE DEFICIT NEXT
YEAR. YEAH I DID NOT BRING THE
MULTI YEARS APOLOGIZED YOU HAVE
SOME OF THE GET IT FOR ME. BUT
THROUGHOUT THE ADMINISTRATION'S-
A MAYOR VISION PROPOSAL THE
DEFICITS IN THE OUT YEARS OUR
HOVER AROUND FOURTEEN BILLION
OKAY. SO THEY HAVE AROUND
FOURTEEN BILLION. OKAY I'M GLAD
THE L. A. O. HAS IT. I'M IN
TERMS OF- THIS PROPOSAL MY
ANALYSIS SAYS THAT THERE'S NOT A
MORE BORROWING AND COST SHIFTS
TO TRY TO ADDRESS- THAT THAT THE
DEFICIT IS THAT ANALYSIS
CORRECT. THE MADE TO L. L. UNDER
THE AT LEGISLATORS BUDGET
PACKAGE THERE IS SOME-
INFRASTRUCTURE SPENDING THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION PROPOSED TO PAY
FOR WITH CASH THAT THE
LEGISLATURE PACKAGE- SHIFTS TO
LEASE REVENUE BONDS- SO THERE
IS. A SLIGHT A SLIGHTLY MORE
BORROWING- BUT VERY REASONABLE
TO SHIFT IN THE IN THE CONTEXT
OF A BUNCH BUDGET PROBLEM TO
BARRING IN THAT CASE. SO THAT IF
THERE IS NEW DATA FROM BORROWING
I READ IT THERE WAS SOME NEW
DEBT FROM BORROWING FROM SPECIAL
FUNDS HOW DOES THE HOW DOES THE
THIS PLAN PAY BACK THAT DEBT.
TYPICALLY WHEN THE STATE MAKES
LOANS WITH A SPECIAL FUNDS- IN
TIMES OF BUDGET PROBLEMS THERE
IS A MULTI YEAR PLAN TO REPAY
THEM OVER THEN OVER THE NEXT FEW
YEARS- AND SO. MY EXPECTATION IS
THAT THAT LEGISLATORS PLAN WOULD
MIRROR THE- THAT FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION TO MAKE THOSE
REPAYMENTS OVER THE NEXT THREE
OR FOUR YEARS. BUT WE HAVE TO
FIGURE THAT OUT IN THE IN THE
FUTURE YES I WOULD BE SCHEDULED
INTO THE FUTURE YEARS. SO THE
WAY THAT THEY'VE THEY'VE THEY'VE
ADDRESS THIS THIS SHORTFALL AT
THIS VERY MOMENT WITH THE
REVENUE SHORTFALL THAT WE
CURRENTLY HAVE IS THAT THERE ARE
SHIPS OUT TO THE FUTURE. THEY'RE
SHIFTING SOME OF THE SPENDING UP
TO THE FUTURE. THERE'S MORE DEBT
. I AM SO AM I CAN ADDRESS AT A
QUEST QUESTION I THINK STORMY
REVISION INCLUDED A BALANCED
PLAN TO CLOSE THE GAP WHICH
INCLUDED AS YOU MENTIONED
REVENUE- AND BORROWING. FUND
SHIFTS SPENDING REDUCTIONS IN
PULLBACKS DELAYED SPENDING AND
THEN THE SAFETY NET RESERVE
WITHDRAWAL. OKAY SO YES THERE IS
NEW CHIPPED OUT TO THE FUTURE
YOU BORROW EACH. SEGMENT THINGS
AROUND AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE
SOME REVENUE FROM THE MCO TAX
CREDIT CORRECT YES CORRECT. MR
FONG I WOULD ALSO. POINT OUT
THAT IT TYPICALLY THE WAY WE
FINANCE THINGS LIKE FOR EXAMPLE
BUILDING COURTS SERVICE
BUILDINGS THE BUILDINGS WAS TO
USE BOND SO THIS. WAS SORT OF
EXTRAORDINARY THING THAT WERE
USING CASH IN THE FIRST PLACE
WHICH IS KIND OF ASYNCHRONOUS OF
THE WAY THE STATE USUALLY DOES
BUSINESS SO ESSENTIALLY. THIS
ISN'T LIKE THIS. IS RETURNING TO
THE NORM IN TERMS OF HOW WE DO
BUSINESS IN THESE DIFFERENT
INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGES. SURE I
THINK THERE'S A THERE'S A
CONVERSATION I KNOW THEY THAT
YOU AND I HAD ABOUT SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT AREN'T HERE THAT
MIGHT GET MOVED TO- BOND ON.
CLIMATE AND OTHER THINGS IT'S
CERTAINLY NOT PART OF THIS
DISCUSSION. BUT THERE IS IT JUST
I JUST WANT. THE COMMITTED
UNDERSTAND THAT THAT WITH THINGS
THAT AREN'T HERE THAT END UP
BEING IN THE BOND AND UP
CREATING DEBT. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE
TO END UP. PAYING BACK. IN IN IN
THE FUTURE- IN TERMS OF I GUESS.
YOU KNOW THE ONE OF THE BIG.
QUESTIONS AN ELEPHANT THE ROOM
IS THE REVENUE ESTIMATES IN AND-
WAS WITH THE TAX DEADLINE BEING
PUSHED TO OCTOBER- AT THIS VERY
MOMENT I MEAN DO WE HAVE KIND OF
AN UPDATED- YOU KNOW PROJECTION.
IN TERMS OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING
AT IN THE FALL. EITHER WITH A
PART BY ANSWERED L. A. O. I KNOW
YOU'LL DO A- A BIG ANALYSIS BY
I'M I'M JUST TRYING TO THE- TRY
TO NOTE THE- COME. SINCE AM I
IT'S REALLY THE DELAY THAT I
MENTIONED- EARLIER IT IT WORKS.
THAT LAY TO BE A FORTY. DOLLARS
IN PERSONAL AND CORPORATE TAX
RECEIPTS THAT WILL BE DELAYED
UNTIL OCTOBER. FORTY BILLION
DOLLARS YES THE WE HAVE A- WITH
THERE'S THAT LEVEL OF
UNCERTAINTY WHETHER THE- THAT
THAT WILL- MATERIALIZE. WHAT DO
YOU ANTICIPATE. I CALLED THE
WHITE DEPARTMENT FINANCE SO YEAH
AS AT AS MR AS MENTIONED WE ARE
EXPECTING FORTY TWO BILLION
DOLLARS IN CORPORATE AND
PERSONAL INCOME TAX RECEIPTS TO
SHIFT FROM. EARLIER MONTHS TO
OCTOBER AT REFLECTS A
COMBINATION OF ESTIMATED A
JANUARY- APRIL JUNE AND
SEPTEMBER AN ESTIMATED PAYMENTS
AS WELL AS THE FINAL PAYMENTS
AND IT. EXTENSION PAYMENTS MADE
MADE IN APRIL. OKAY AND IS THAT
WHERE HOW DOES THAT HOW DO I HOW
DO I EVALUATE THAT FORTY TWO
BILLION IS THAT WITHIN THE REALM
OF WHAT ONLY COMES IN OR- IT.
IT'S A IT'S A REFLECTION YOU
KNOW AS IT IS IMAGE IT'S A
REFLECTION OF BOTH A PAYMENTS
RELATED TO TAX YOUR TWENTY
TWENTY TWO AND TAX YOUR TWENTY
TWENTY THREE. IF YOU WANT TO
THINK OF IT IN TERMS TRYING TO
CONTEXTUALIZE IT. D. FORTY TWO
BILLION DOLLAR FIGURE- REFLECTS-
IT'S IN THE 20% RANGE OF TOTAL
TOTAL FISCAL YEAR REVENUES. OKAY
SO IF THE FORTY TWO BILLION
MATERIALIZES THEN WE STILL HAVE
A THAT THAT THE DEFICIT THAT YOU
GUYS ARE PROJECTING IS STILL AS
AS ROUGHLY THE SAME AGE IS
THIRTY ONE THIRTY TWO BILLION.
ADD TO COOK AT THE OFTEN REVENUE
FORECAST COMING AS PROJECTED
THEN THAT WOULD BE AND THEN IF
THEY'RE IN THE REVENUE COMES
LOWER THAN THE DEFICIT WILL BE
LARGER AND WE HAVE TO. DO A
LITTLE MORE OUT OF THE FROM THE
REVENUE SIDE ALONE HOLDING
EVERYTHING ELSE CONSTANT ANY OF
THE EXPENDITURE ISSUES
EXPENDITURES AND THINGS GET TO
ME THAT'S JUST THE REVENUE
CONVERSATION WE'RE TRYING I
GUESS A RAPPER HANDS AROUND OR-
IS JUST. WHAT THE REVENUE
NUMBERS ARE RIGHT BECAUSE IT YOU
KNOW IF THE REVENUES COMER A
COME UNDER AND I THINK THIS IS
THE CONVERSATION WE'RE HAVING IS
THAT THE L. A. O. NUMBER. IS A
LITTLE BIT MORE- I NGUYEN IS A
CONSERVE I THINK IT'S JUST
THERE'S MORE IN GOING IN AND I
THINK GUYS ARE MORE STATUS QUO
AND IN IT AND IF I CAN- PROVIDE
THAT MY OWN PERSONAL VIEW OF
THAT- AND SO IF THE REVENUE
NUMBERS COME IN LESS THAN WE'VE
GOT A LARGER BUDGET. PROBLEMS
YEAH I MEAN YOU. TALKED A BIT
ABOUT THE MULTI YEARS WELL SO-
THAT THE REVENUE FORECAST AS-
MISTER JOHN MENTIONED THAT
VALLEY- IS ELEVEN BILLION LOWER
THAN US BUT THROUGH THE BUDGET
WINDOW THREE TWENTY THREE TWENTY
FOUR- AND WE- THE DEPARTMENT
FINANCE. ACTUALLY HAS LOWER
GROWTH RATES IN IN THE OUT YEARS
VERSUS ALEJO. OKAY- GET YOU
DELVING INTO AT LEAST SOME OF
THE SPECIFICS WITHIN THIS
FRAMEWORK- YOU KNOW THERE IS-
THIS THIS LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL
REDUCES- FUNDING TO THE
STRATEGIC ENERGY RESERVE- I
THINK. LAST YEAR WAS IT WAS NINE
THREE SEVEN MILLION INTO IT- I
GUESS CAN CAN MAYBE CHRISTIAN
YOU CAN KIND OF A LINE LIKE WHAT
WHY. WHY CUT THE STRATEGIC. THE
FOREGOING. I GIVE NGUYEN WITH
ABOUT ENERGY RELIED AND JUST FOR
YOURSELF. ABOUT IT IT FOR. I'M
OUR- OUR REASONING FOR CUT THAT
WAS THAT THE ADMINISTRATION NOT
ALLOCATED THE FUNDS YET THEY
HAVE NOT BEEN ENCUMBERED- RECENT
ESTIMATES OF THE ENERGY SORT OF
SYSTEM ARE SAYING THAT WERE
ACTUALLY OKAY FOR THE SUMMER- SO
GIVEN THAT THAT WAS SORT OF A
SHORT TERM INVESTMENT WE FELT
THAT THIS WASN'T NECESSARY FOR
THE SUMMER FOR ENERGY
RELIABILITY. GIVEN THE REINS OF
HYDRO INCREASES OKAY. I MEAN
THIS IS A ONE OF THOSE AREAS
WHERE I PROBABLY MAY M. A. M.
ALIGN MORE WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION BUT MAYBE I CAN
TALK TO DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE IT
IS AN AREA WHERE. YOU WOULD
AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THAT TYPE
OF DECISION.
SORRY THAT WAS NOT AND WHEN YOU
START THAT ARGUMENT MISTER
MISTER VICE CHAIR DOUBLE
DEPARTMENT FINANCE OF- WE
DESIGNED A BUDGET THAT INCLUDES
THOSE RESOURCES AND WE'RE NOT IN
A POSITION TO SUPPORT THAT AT
THIS TIME. OKAY- AND THEN IT
WOULDN'T BE A BUDGET HEARING
WITHOUT ME ASKING ABOUT WATER
SO- THIS PROPOSAL DOESN'T HAVE
IT IT'S THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS
USED BY JUST WANTED TO STATE FOR
THE RECORD THAT THERE. THERE IS
AN ABOVE GROUND STORAGE FUNDING
IN THIS IN IN THIS LEGISLATIVE
PACKAGE NOR IN THE MAY REVISION
. THE CORRECT. AND IT YES THAT
IS CORRECT OKAY YES THAT'S
CORRECT- AND THEN- I GUESS MY
LAST QUESTION- WHEN IT COMES TO
WATCH THE AT LEAST WHEN IT COMES
TO TRANSPORTATION- AS THE VISOR
TRANSPORTATION. DOES THIS-
BUDGET FRAMEWORK AS WELL AS A
MAJOR VISION BOTH ASSUME REVENUE
FROM. THE THE- INCREASING THE
GAS TAX IN THE SUMMER. AND IF I
WIN THIS YEAR IS THIS PROPOSAL
ASSUMING. THAT THE GAS AS WILL
INCREASE UNDER SB ONE.
THANK YOU MAN IS FROM THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE-
YES UNDER THE- LEGISLATIVE
PACKAGED AND THE ADMINISTRATION-
MAY PROVISION PROPOSAL THE GAS
TAX WOULD INCREASE IN THE SUMMER
OF JULY AS- I'M- INDICATE IN
STATUTE. BUT CERTAIN APPRECIATE
THAT I THINK THAT'S CERTAINLY AN
AREA OF CONCERN FOR MANY MEMBERS
AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION- I
KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF ATTENTION
ON A TRANS APPARITIONS CERTAINLY
OF A PRIORITY FOR THE CHAIR. I'M
JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IN
TERMS OF THE FUNDING THAT'S
ASSOCIATED OR HAS BEEN RESTORED
. AS AS ANY OF THAT- IS ANY OF
THAT FUNDING TIED TO AN
INCREASED RIDERSHIP FOR- YOU
KNOW. HOW WE EVALUATING THE
SUCCESS OF THIS- DREADED FUSION
. AND HOW CAN WE AT THE END AS
THERE A NEED A DO YOU ANTICIPATE
AT A NEED FOR ANOTHER INFUSION
IN THE FUTURE. ANY MORALS
ASSEMBLY BUDGET COMMITTEE WE ARE
WORKING RIGHT NOW ON
ACCOUNTABILITY LANGUAGE- THAT
WOULD BE TIED TO THESE DOLLARS
BOTH THE TRC P. DOLLARS IN THIS
AB DOLLARS THAT WOULD INCLUDE
PROVISIONS- INCLUDE PROVISIONS
THAT WOULD BE RELATED TO A
INCREASING RIDERSHIP AND HELPING
TRANSIT OPERATORS MOVE MOVE
FORWARD. WE ARE WE BELIEVE THIS
DOLLARS ARE ONE TIME FUNDING. TO
FILL THE GAP OKAY. AND THEN AT
THAT IS ONE QUICK QUESTION I
KNOW SOME OTHER MEMBERS MAY ASK
ABOUT THEM CO BUT CAN SOMEONE
GIVE ME AN UPDATE ON THE MCO.
TAX CONVERSATION. WE THAT
CONVERSATION I MEAN WE HAVE THE
M. CO REVENUE ASSUMED HERE- BUT
THERE WASN'T THERE'S DISCUSSIONS
GOING ON ABOUT HOW THAT WOULD
ACTUALLY WORK IN THOSE THERE'S
DON GOING. ON GOING. IS IT I
GUESS THAT'S THAT. AT THE BE THE
PHRASE OF THE DAY RIGHT OUT OF
THINGS I'M GOING. THE MMHM. I
GUESS MAYBE A MY QUESTION TO THE
PREMIER FINANCE MY LAST QUESTION
IS THAT IS WHAT WHAT CONCERNS
YOU ABOUT THE- ABOUT THIS
PROPOSAL. ARE THERE ANY SPEAKS
STICKING POINTS THAT YOU FEEL
THAT THIS PROPOSAL HAS WRONG.
ARE YOU I AM SYMBOLIC ABOUT WITH
HER OVERALL BUDGET NOT JUST MCO
TAX I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I OKAY
OVER JUST A BY I'M I THINK THE
IT'S JUST. WE A LOT OF SHARE
PRIOR BUT WE NEED TO CONTINUE
WORKING TOGETHER TO MEET AT
REACH A THREE PARTY AGREEMENT
BUT I THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF
SHARED GOALS THROUGHOUT THE
LEGISLATURE PLAN. OKAY BUT I
WANT TO THANK THE CHAIR OF FOR
ALLOW ME TO ASK QUESTIONS- YES
CERTAINLY THE BUDGET PROCESS
THAT AT THIS POINT IS ONGOING-
AND IS IT. IT'S NOT COMPLETE
YET- I DO HAVE CONCERNS THAT
THIS BUDGET PROPOSAL. DOES
ASSUME IS BASED ON RISKY REVENUE
ESTIMATES- AND I THINK THAT
WHILE REVENUES ARE GOING TO
DECREASE. I THINK THE AMOUNT OF
SPENDING- THAT CONTINUES IS
UNSUSTAINABLE WHICH WILL CREATE
MULTI. YEAR BUDGETS IN THE-
WOULD TO CREATE DEFICITS IN THE
FUTURE AND I THINK THAT'S NOT
FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE SO THANK
YOU MR. THANK YOU MR VICE CHAIR
OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS FROM
THE DAIS. RESPOND TO. MISTRUST.
THANK YOU APPRECIATE IT I HAVE
SOME QUESTIONS OF FOR DLF ABOUT.
IN THE AREA OF EARLY CHILD CARE.
US SO ONE END AT T. CASE SO ONE
IS THAT WE ARE CERTAINLY IN AN
HOUR AT LEGISLATIVE BUDGET DID
NOT SHIFT TO A TEN TO ONE RATIO.
OF FORTY K. IN THIS BUDGET YEAR
AS OUTLINED IN STATUTE- I KNOW
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL AS WE
ARRIVE BRING IT ON FOUR YEAR
OLDS TO ACTUALLY HAVE A RATIO
THAT IS GOING TO ENSURE. THE
HIGHEST QUALITY OF CARE AND I'M
CONCERNED THAT WE ARE NOT MOVING
FORWARD WITH WHAT IS IN STATUTE
RIGHT NOW. AARON GABLE ASSEMBLY
BUDGET COMMITTEE YES WANT TO
CONFIRM THAT THE LEGISLATIVE
BUDGET- WOULD SHIFT THE TIMELINE
FOR MOVING FROM A TWELVE TO ONE
ADULT TO CHILD RATIO TO TEN TO
ONE IN THE TWENTY FIVE TWENTY
SIX SCHOOL YEAR. IN RECOGNITION
OF THE WORK FORCE SHORTAGES THAT
WE'RE FACING ACROSS THE ENTIRE
EDUCATION SECTOR THERE WAS SAID-
I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO
PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME
BUT TO ALSO GUARANTEE AN
IMPLEMENTATION TIMELINE. FOR
LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCIES SO- FOR
THEM TO BE ABLE TO KNOW NOW THAT
THE STATE IS COMMITTED TO THE
FUNDING NECESSARY INTO THE
RATIOS NECESSARY FOR THOSE
YOUNGER FOUR YEAR OLDS TO BE
SERVED APPROPRIATELY AND
UNIVERSAL TICKET CLASSROOM. IT'S
ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL AND I KNOW
THAT- WE HAVE MAJORITY LEADER.
REYES HILL HERE WHO IS BRING HAS
BROUGHT FORWARD LEGISLATION- AND
IT IS A LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY
CERTAINLY OF THE WOMEN'S CAUCUS
AS WELL TO ENSURE. THAT WE HAVE
THE- RATE INCREASES SO I'D LOVE
TO HEAR FROM DEAL F. WHAT THE
COMMITMENT IS TO ENSURING THAT
WE- PROVIDE RETREATING CHRISS
FOR CHILD CARE. AND ALSO HOW WE
IN THE LEDGES AND HOW TO DEAL
WITH REALLY. ESTIMATES IN THE
LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE HOW WE ARE
ABLE TO PROVIDE MORE SUPPORT TO
FAMILIES. AND PROVIDERS THROUGH-
LOWER FAMILY FEES AND STREAMLINE
ELIGIBILITY. WRITTEN CHRIS
FERGUSON WITH FINANCE I'M
CERTAINLY THE CONVERSATIONS
AROUND- YOU KNOW CHILD CARE
REIMBURSEMENT RATES PRESCHOOL
REIMBURSEMENT RATES. ASSOCIATED
FAMILY VISA CONTINUES TO OCCUR
BETWEEN THE- THE REPRESENTATIVE
FOR THE LEGISLATURE IN THE
ADMINISTRATION. I'M NOT SAID
WITHIN THE OF LEGISLATIVE
PACKAGE IT CERTAINLY ASSUME THAT
THERE IS A LEVEL OF AVAILABLE
RESOURCES WITHIN THE EXISTING
APPROPRIATION TO SUPPORT THE
INCREASES THAT HAVE BEEN BEFORE-
AND CERTAINLY- THE- GOD
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN. A CHILD
CARE PROVIDERS UNITED- AND THE
STATE IS UNDERWAY AND
CONTINUING- AT THAT AT THIS TIME
. IT CAN ALSO ADDRESS THE ISSUE
OF LOWER FAMILY FEES AND
ENSURING THAT WE HAVE THE KIND
OF FLEXIBILITY THAT WE NEED
AROUND REIMBURSEMENT POLICIES.
AND ELIGIBILITY. SURE IT IN THE
LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE THERE IS UP
THERE ARE PROVISIONS AROUND
REDUCING FAMILY FEES CHOI
BELIEVE IT'S 1% OF INCOME- AS A
CAP- THE CONVERSATIONS AROUND
WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE. A
BETWEEN THE ADMINISTRATION AND
THE LEGISLATURE CONTINUE I WILL
SAY THAT THE- THE ACTION PACKAGE
THAT THE LEGISLATURE ADOPTED
EARLIER IN MAY. I EXTENDED THE
FAMILY FEE WAIVERS THROUGH I
BELIEVE IT'S SEPTEMBER THIRTIETH
TWENTY TWENTY THREE- WHICH HELPS
PROVIDE TIME FOR THOSE
CONVERSATIONS TO CONTINUE. SO IS
YOUR SENSE THAT WE'RE GOING TO
BE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE
INCREASED ELIGIBILITY
OPPORTUNITIES FOR FAMILIES IN
THIS MOMENT NOW FLEXIBLE
REIMBURSEMENT POLICIES. AND AN
OPPORTUNITY TO ENSURE THAT
PROVIDERS ARE PAID THE
REIMBURSEMENT THAT THEY DESERVE
. AT I CAN'T MAKE THAT
COMMITMENT TODAY WHAT I CAN SAY
IS THAT THE CONVERSATIONS ARE
OCCURRING BETWEEN A
REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE
LEGISLATURE IN THE
ADMINISTRATION. I APPRECIATE
THAT GIVEN THAT THIS IS
CONTINUING TO BE A TOP PRIORITY
FOR THE WOMEN'S CAUCUS. ENDS WE
HAVE SEVERAL PIECES OF
LEGISLATION ONE THAT NOT
MAJORITY LEADER AT REYES IS
CARRYING ANOTHER THAT- SENATOR
LIMON IS CARRYING IN ONE ACT AND
SEVERAL THAT I'M ACTUALLY
CARRYING RELATED TO THESE ISSUES
AND- CONTINUES TO BE A TOP
PRIORITY FOR US. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN THANK YOU ALL
FOR YOUR- YES I'M HERE TODAY- I
WANTED TO START OFF BY A
QUESTION RELATED TO REVENUE
REGARDING CAPITAL GAINS AND
ANYBODY CAN PROVIDE SOME-
FEEDBACK ON THAT. GIVEN SORT OF
RECENT TRENDS AND OF COURSE YOU
DON'T WANT TO- PUT ALL YOUR EGGS
INTO THE BASKET OF CAPITAL GAINS
BUT- CAN ANYBODY PROVIDE- A
REASSESSMENT THAT'S BEEN DONE
ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS FOR US
NEXT YEAR- I'D LIKE TO HEAR
FROM. A DO YOU HAVE AN FROM LA
ON THAT. CALL THE WHITE
DEPARTMENT FINANCE. THANK YOU
THE QUESTION SO THE CAPITAL
GAINS REVENUE FORECAST- THAT WAS
INCLUDED IN THE MAY REVISION.
WAS DONE IN EARLY APRIL AND SO
IT REFLECTED ON THE STOCK MARKET
PERFORMANCE. UP UNTIL THAT TIME.
WILL IT FOLLOWS AND WE RECEIVED
TAX DATA RELATED TO TAX YOUR
TWENTY TWENTY ONE THAT CHAU
CAPITAL GAINS WAS VERY HIGH. AT
THREE HUNDRED AND THE
REALIZATIONS WERE THREE HUNDRED
FORTY ONE BILLION. AND SO THE
MAY REVISION FORECAST IS THIS IT
WAS ASSUMED ROUGHLY A THIRTY
PERCENT. YEAR OVER YEAR DECLINE
IN TAX YOUR TWENTY TWENTY TWO
REFLECTING LOWER STOCK MARKET.
AND AT THAT TWO HUNDRED FORTY
BILLION. WHICH TRANSLATES TO
ROUGHLY TWENTY FOUR BILLION IN
CAPITAL GAINS REVENUE FOR TAX OR
TWENTY TWENTY TWO. OVER THE
LONGER HORIZON WE CONTINUE TO
BELIEVE THAT THAT- THAT CAP
GAINS WILL DECLINE. AND
EVENTUALLY REACH HUNDRED RUN
HUNDRED SEVENTY BILLION. BY
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE. ONE WAS A
LAST REASSESSMENT ON. THAT SO
THIS MAYOR FOR WAS DONE AS FROM
A REVISION YEAH SO EVERY- RIGHT
AROUND THAT THE END OF APRIL WAS
WHEN LOCK DOWN THAT FOUR. AND
LOOKED AT THE STOCK MARKET
PERFORMANCE- TO DATE AT THAT
POINT THE S. AND P. WAS IN THE
RANGE OF FORTY ONE. HUNDRED AND
SO TODAY IT'S A BIT ABOUT FORTY
THREE HUNDRED. THANK ANY
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS MILLION HI
CAROLYN CHU L. L. SO- AS MR
WHITE NOTED WE DON'T ANY. REALLY
NEW INFORMATION SE SINCE OUR
MAYOR VISION ESTIMATES WERE PUT
TOGETHER GIVEN THAT THE TAX
FILING DEADLINE HAS BEEN PUSHED
TO OCTOBER THAT SAID OUR OFFICES
LOWER REVENUE ESTIMATES REFLECT
THE FACT THAT WE- CAN SEE AND
OBSERVE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN-
WITHHOLDING PAYMENTS SO THE
MONEY TAKEN OUT OF FOLKS CHECKS
EVERY WEEK OR MONTH. AND CAPITAL
GAINS REJECT GENERALLY SPEAKING
ESTIMATED PAYMENTS THE PAYMENTS
MADE BY HIGHER INCOME
INDIVIDUALS M. AND R. ESTIMATES
REFLECT THAT HISTORICAL
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THOSE TWO
TYPES OF PAYMENTS AND THAT WITH
THE DECLINES IN WITHHOLDING THAT
WE HAVE SEEN. THIS YEAR TO DATE
WE WOULD ANTICIPATE SOMEWHAT
LOWER- ESTIMATED PAYMENTS AND
CAPITAL GAINS REVENUE AS
COMPARED TO WHAT THE
ADMINISTRATION PUT TOGETHER. AND
AS MR WHITE NOTED THE MARKET IS
SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN IT WAS BUT-
WITH SUSTAINED HIGHER INTEREST
RATES- CALIFORNIA HAS SOME
SECTORS ARE PARTICULARLY
SENSITIVE TO THAT ENVIRONMENT-
AND WE WOULD ANTICIPATE TO
CONTINUE TO SEE ESTIMATED
PAYMENTS TO BE SOMEWHAT LOWER
THAN THEY HAVE BEEN IN RECENT
YEARS WHEN INTEREST RATES WERE
CONSIDERABLY LOWER. OKAY I ASK
THE QUESTION JUST TRYING TO FIND
A GLIMMER OF HOPE GOING FORWARD-
AND- REVENUES- JEAN- MEETING THE
PER. REVENUE WHICH I THINK-
GIVEN ALL THE IN. DATA TO DATE
WITH. HAVE A SHORTFALL OF
REVENUES BUT- AND I WOULD ALSO
NOTE THAT. I BELIEVE THE ONLY
ESTIMATED PAYMENT WAS FOR THE
FIRST QUARTER OF THE YEAR. JUNE
THIRTIETH WILL BE THE SECOND
QUARTER AND PERHAPS THERE'S MORE
INFORMATION THERE BUT- BUT I
ASKED THAT BECAUSE- I DO BELIEVE
THAT- WE WILL HAVE TO BE. VERY
CAUTIOUS AND NOT BE OPTIMISTIC
WITH OUR REVENUE PROJECTION
GOING FORWARD- SO MY FOLLOWING
QUESTION THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS
ARE RELATED TO THAT- IN OUR- THE
MASS THE OUR DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE ON THE- GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSED- EXPENDITURES SPECIALLY
THE ONE TIME. HE ELEVEN BILLION
ONE TIME. I WOULD THOSE BE HOW
ARE YOU ANTICIPATING TO MAKE
DECISIONS ON EXPENDITURES OF
THOSE. AS WELL LAST THING I LIKE
TO SEE IS THOSE FUNDS START TO
BE EXPANDED AND WE DON'T HAVE
THOSE FUNDS AVAILABLE SO. WHAT
IS THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS
FOR THOSE EXPENDITURES THEN I'LL
ASK OUR BUDGET TEAM HOW ARE A
PROPOSED BUDGET ADDRESSES THAT.
I AM NOT SURE I CAN PROVIDE YOU
A DETAILED LIST THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF ITEMS THAT MAKE UP
THAT- ONE TIME SPENDING BUT
GENERALLY SPEAKING THAT WERE
INTERESTED IN MAINTAINING THOSE
CORE PROGRAMS THAT ARE REALLY
IMPORTANT TO US WHICH INCLUDE
HEALTHCARE HUMAN SERVICES
EDUCATION HOMELESSNESS AND
CLIMATE. I'M SO I THINK THAT AS
WE HAVE DONE SOME PULLBACKS EVEN
IN THIS BUDGET AND WHICH REQUIRE
SOME CURRENT YOUR ADJUSTMENTS-
AND SO THAT IS AND THAT IS AN
OPTION THAT WE CAN CONSIDER. I'M
IF THINGS COME IN LOWER BUT AT
THIS TIME I THINK WE'RE AND
WE'RE ANTICIPATING THAT WE'LL BE
ABLE TO MEET ALL OF OUR ALL OF
THE OBLIGATIONS WE PUT FORWARD
AND ARMY REVISION. YOU BELIEVE
THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE
THOSE ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS
EXPENDITURES. AT THE TIME WE
WILL NOT HAVE THE- MAKE MID YEAR
REDUCTIONS TO THOSE PROGRAM
EXPENDITURES AT THIS TIME YES
BASED ON ARMY REVISION FORECAST
. ALAS THE L. A. O. TO COMMENT
ON THAT AND THEN I'LL ASK OUR-
BUDGETING. UNDER THE
LEGISLATURE'S BUDGET PACKAGE THE
REVENUE ESTIMATES THERE INCLUDED
HERE DO I ASSUME THAT ALL OF
THOSE COMMITMENTS- CAN BE MADE
IN CAN BE EXPANDED- YOU KNOW
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
SIGNIFICANT ONE TIME
EXPENDITURES IN THE BUDGET YEAR-
WHICH FOLLOWING A FEW YEARS OF.
OF PRETTY SIGNIFICANT ONE TIME
EXPENDITURES SO I THINK AS YOU
YOU MAY BE. A REFERENCING AND
THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT
COMMITTEE YEAR- THERE WOULD BE
APPROPRIATIONS THAT HAD NOT YET
BEEN- DISPERSED ARE SENT OUT-
AND SO THOSE COULD PROVE TO BE
AT A POTENTIAL SOLUTION SHOULD
THE REVENUES COME IN LOWER. LET
ME ASK- WHAT OUR LANGUAGE SAYS
ABOUT WHEN THOSE DECISIONS GET
MADE AND BY WHOM AND ARE THESE
TRIGGER EXPENDITURES BASED ON
REVENUE. THAT'S ACTUAL OR HOW.
HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO.
MAKE THAT DECISION- MADE YEAR
FIRST QUARTER WHEREVER WHENEVER
IT IS. THAT WE SHOULD NOT MOVE
FORWARD WITH SOME OF THESE
EXPENDITURES. HI THE CHRISTIAN
GROUP ASSEMBLY BUDGET I THINK- I
WOULD LOOK TO THIS BUDGET PLAN
AND SEE THE FACT THAT WE- WERE
ABLE TO PUT PRIORITIES ON THE
TABLE WITHIN THE MAY REVISION BY
MAKING OFFSETTING REDUCTIONS.
SOME OF THOSE REDUCTIONS WERE
FUNDS. THERE WERE FOR DELEGATED
IN TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO THE
PRIOR YEARS WE WERE ABLE TO FIND
SAVINGS IMPAIR YOUR FINANCING IN
THE CURRENT YEAR FIND SAVINGS A
BUDGET YEAR. TO MAKE IT WORK
WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK THE
GOVERNOR HAD PROPOSED. AND TO BE
ABLE TO PUT PRIORITIES LIKE AN
ADDITIONAL YEAR HAVE FUNDING AND
PUT MY PRIDE IS LIKE THE TRANSIT
CUTTING BACK INTO THIS INTO THE
OVERALL STRUCTURE. AND I THINK
WE WE'VE SHOWN THAT WE CAN DO
THAT AND I FELT VERY CONFIDENT
ESPECIALLY THE FACT WE DID
MAINTAIN THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF
RESERVES WE DID NOT THOSE ON
TOUCH OF THIRTY SEVEN BILLION IN
RESERVES. SO IF WE ARE IN A
POSITION WHERE REVENUES ARE ARE
UNDERPERFORMING WE GET BACK IN
JANUARY. I THINK THEY'LL BE A
LOT OF A LOT OF THE FUNDS ARE
NOT GOING TO GO OUT PARTICULARLY
FAST REDUCING THE RATES OF
EXPENDITURES THESE PROGRAMS ARE
NOT PARTICULARLY QUICK- THERE IS
A LOT OF ENCUMBRANCES AND
THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION
ABOUT. IN A WE DOESN'T. AND KIND
OF PLAN MANY- BUT WE I WE'RE
WE'RE VERY CONFIDENT THAT. YOU
KNOW WE CAN GET BACK IN JANUARY
AND COME UP WITH A PLAN BECAUSE
WHAT THE RESERVES ESSENTIALLY
GIVE YOU IS THEY GIVE YOU TIME
TO ACT- WE HAVE MORE CERTAINTY
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW. YOU CAN PICK
ANY REVENUE NUMBER BECAUSE WE
DON'T HAVE ANY REVENUE
COLLECTIONS THAT ARE RELIABLE
AND YOU CAN KIND OF. MAKE A
STORY ABOUT WHO ARE YOU KNOW
WHATEVER YOUR NEXT YEAR WE HAVE
A TERRIBLE YEAR NEXT YEAR. AND
THERE AND THE OTHER CHALLENGE
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE NEXT YEAR IS
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE. THE LEGACY
OF THIS TWENTY TWENTY TWO
COLLECTION PERIOD WHICH WERE
BASED ON TAXES PEOPLE EARN IN
TWENTY TWENTY ONE. IT WILL HAVE
TO COME DO. WHENEVER WE WHEN
EVERYONE PAYS OUR TAXES OCTOBER.
AND ON TOP OF THAT WHAT'S GOING
ON WITH THE ECONOMY NOW AND
WHAT'S GOING TO GO ON THE
ECONOMY NEXT YEAR AND I THINK
THE WAY I LOOK AT IT IS THAT
THAT. THAT AND I'M DEFINITELY
NERVOUS ABOUT THE TWENTY TWENTY
ONE. NOT NUMBER. I'M MORE
OPTIMISTIC ABOUT TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR NUMBER BUT WE'LL BE LOOKING
AT. THREE DIFFERENT YEARS OF
DATA ALL AT THE SAME TIME. AND
SO THAT MAKE THAT STORY WILL ALL
COME TOGETHER. AND IF WE DO NEED
TO ADJUST OUR SENATOR PLAN I
THINK WHAT WE'VE SEEN HERE. IS
THAT. ESPECIALLY ASSEMBLY WE ARE
READY TO HAVE DIFFICULT
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RE
PRIORITIZING- AND IT'S
ESPECIALLY SOME THREE WE HAD A
VERY DIFFICULT CONVERSATION
ABOUT THAT AND WAS SUCCESSFUL
ABOUT BEING ABLE TO TAKE PRICE
OFF THE TABLE MOVE PARTIES
AROUND- AND WE'RE PREPARED TO DO
AGAIN. APPRECIATE THAT THAT
HELPS ME UNDERSTAND THE THINKING
LONG TERM BECAUSE THERE ARE A
LOT OF. CALIFORNIANS AND
CERTAINLY HAVING A LOT OF US
WERE THINKING IF OF. THE REVENUE
AS AND REALIZED. AND WE DO NEED
TO MAKE DECISIONS HOW ARE WE
GOING TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS
AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
PUT THAT ON THE RECORD NOW. I
LAST UP DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE-
IF THEY'RE IN AGREEMENT THAT IF-
IF. REVENUE DOESN'T MATERIALIZE
AND WE NEED TO MAKE THESE
DECISIONS. IS THERE A THINKING
ON A PRIORITIZATION IS A- IF.
DOLLARS HAVE BEEN ENCUMBERED. IS
THAT WOULD BE SORT OF. T. ONE-
COULD YOU. YOUR THINKING OF.
THAT COULD LOOK LIKE. I AM I
THINK CONSISTENT THIS GUY. THIS
YEAR'S GOT. BY AND WE- HAVE THE-
TO RESET RECESSES MISTER
GRIFFITH STATED. IN JANUARY WILL
RE PRIORITIZE BASED ON OUR
REVENUE ESTIMATES AT THAT TIME.
I'M AND I WE HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED
PRIORITIES YET BUT YES ONE OF
THE FACTORS THAT WE CONSIDER
THIS YEAR WAS. UNENCUMBERED
BALANCES. I AM SO THAT WAS
DEFINITELY A CONSIDERATION THAT
WE MADE AND THEN OF COURSE. AND
PRIORITY SETTING AS WELL. OKAY
RECEIVED THAT- I'D WANNA
KNOWLEDGE THE BUDGET- STAFFED-
AND THE COMMITTEE'S WORK ON.
PROTECTING SOME OF THE- LOANS
AND SHIFTS FROM THE PARTICULARLY
THE SAFETY NET- I KNOW THAT'S
IN. OUR VERSION OF THE BUDGET.
I'D LIKE TO GET CLARIFICATION
FROM AND AS I THINK THAT WAS
STILL THE MAY REVISE IT AND YOU
HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION AT THE
MOMENT. ON THE UTILIZATION THAT
FUND NO I THINK WE CONTINUE TO
THINK THAT THAT'S THE BEST WAY
TO ADDRESS THE SHORTFALL IS THE
REVENUE IN THE MARLENE. AND THE
FINE SHIFTS THE SPENDING
REDUCTIONS AND PULLBACKS DELAYED
SPENDING AND THEN OF COURSE THE
SAFETY NET WITH- RESERVE
WITHDRAWAL. OKAY LET ME FOCUS IS
A TINY BIT- MY NEXT TWO
QUESTIONS ON EDUCATION- AND SO
I'D ASK. STAFF TO. COME FORWARD
ON THAT- A BIT TO BE ALONG THE
SAME LINES IF REVENUE
PROJECTIONS- ARE ARE DIFFERENT-
YOU KNOW IN EDUCATION IT'S SO
MUCH. DRIVEN BY PROP NINETY
EIGHT AND IT IS WHAT THE FUNDING
FOR THE PERFORMANCE AS IT IS.
BUT THAT COULD CHANGE- V. ALEC-
BUDGET AMOUNTS TO EDUCATION. IN
A WAY THAT COULD SORT OF. THROW
SOMETHING INTO THE PATH OF
GROWTH THAT EDUCATION HAS SEEN
OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS-
GIVEN THE QUESTIONS I JUST ASKED
ABOUT THE POTENTIALS- WHAT IS
THE THINKING. ABOUT THE- A FUND
FUNDED PROGRAMS- IF NUMBERS ARE
REDUCED AND THEN IN THE OUT
YEARS THAT ALSO MEANS A
REDUCTION IN IN EDUCATION
FUNDING. AARON GABLE ASSEMBLY
BUDGET COMMITTEE I'M WE ACTUALLY
HAVE TAKEN A VERY CONCERTED
EFFORT OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS
OF. SURPLUS AND GROWTH WITHIN
THE PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
GUARANTEE TO. ADOPT BUDGETS THAT
WE'RE VERY COGNISANT THAT SOME
OF THE- THE INCREASE IN THE
GUARANTEE WAS POTENTIALLY GOING
TO FLUCTUATE IN THE OUT YEARS
AND SO YOU SAW. FOR EXAMPLE IN
THE CURRENT YEAR SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT OF MONEY ABOUT THREE
BILLION DOLLARS. IN GUARANTEE
FUND SCORE TOWARDS ONE TIME
PURPOSES AND YOU CONTINUE TO SEE
US DOING THAT IN THE BUDGET YEAR
AS WELL IN THE PROPOSAL SO. AS
THE SURPLUS IS NEEDED TO BE
RIGHT SIZED WITHIN THE
GUARANTEED WE'VE HAD MORE
FLEXIBILITY TO BE ABLE TO
REEVALUATE THOSE PRIORITIES
RECONSIDER THOSE ONE TIME.
EXPENDITURES AND THEN REDUCE
THEM ACCORDINGLY WITHOUT
TOUCHING ANY OF THE FUNDING THAT
WE SEE ON OUR LED SPREADSHEETS
OVER THE MULTI YOURS SO- WE'RE
VERY OPTIMISTIC YOU'LL SEE WE
HAVE NOT A TOUCH THE RAINY DAY
FUND IN THE LEGISLATIVE BUDGET.
WITH THE ADOPTION OF THE-
PROPERTY TAX REVENUES FROM THE
ALLEY- WE'RE ALSO PROVIDING A
LITTLE BIT MORE OF A SECURE BASE
WITHIN THE GUARANTEE FOR
FUNDING- AND I THINK WE'RE VERY
OPTIMISTIC FOR EXAMPLE EAT
DESPITE THE HISTORIC COLA. OF
EIGHT POINT 22% ACROSS THE BOARD
AND LAST YEAR'S HISTORIC
INCREASE OF APPROXIMATELY
FIFTEEN PERCENT. THAT CAN BE
PROTECTED OVER THE MULTI YEAR I
WITHOUT HAVING TO MAKE ANY KINDS
OF MIDYEAR MID TERM REDUCTIONS
EVEN IF WE SEE SOME VOLATILITY.
AT THAT RAINY DAY FUND IS AT A
HISTORIC AMOUNT OF OVER TEN
BILLION DOLLARS AND THAT'S GOING
TO PROVIDE QUITE A BIT OF
PROTECTION. FOR ONGOING
INVESTMENTS IN THE BUDGET. ONE
PRIORITY THANK YOU FOR THE
RESPONSE THAT ONE PRIORITY- IS
ALSO RELATED TO CHILD CARE. AND
JUST WANTED TO CREATE SOME
CERTAINTY ABOUT- ABOUT THAT
FUNDING- BEING ONE TIME VERSUS
ONGOING KEY TALK ABOUT- WHAT
THE- LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL IS ON
CHILD CARE- AND RATE IN PART.
FOR FAT THAT ARE. LOOKING AND
DESPERATELY NEEDING A CHILD CARE
. YES I AM ON THE SUB TWO SIDES
DIED CHILD CARE IS PROBABLY ONE
OF THE LARGEST AREAS OF
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MAY
REVISION AND THE LEGISLATIVE
BUDGET PACKAGE SO. WE ARE
LOOKING AT A- A TOTAL OF ONE
POINT TWO BILLION DOLLARS IN
INCREASES OF BETWEEN GENERAL
FUND AND PROPOSITION NINETY
EIGHT. FOUR RATE INCREASES IN
THE BUDGET YEAR THAT WOULD BE
ONGOING SO WE ARE LOOKING AT A
25% COLA. TO THE REGIONAL MARKET
RATE WHICH FUNDS ARE PRESCHOOL
AND CHILD CARE PROGRAMS IN A 5%
INCREASE TO THE STANDARD
REIMBURSEMENT RATE FOR THOSE.
COUNTIES THAT'S REIMBURSEMENTS
IN THE PRIVATE MARKET ARE SO LOW
THAT. THEY ARE NOT YET ON THE
REGIONAL MARKET RATE SO IT'S A
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE AND AGAIN
THAT'S NOT ONE TIME THAT'S
ONGOING. WE HAVE- WE HAVE
ONGOING COMMITMENTS IN THE
LEGISLATIVE BUDGET PACKAGE.
LASTLY THANK YOU ALL FOR
ANSWERING THOSE QUESTIONS- I
THINK MY LAST QUESTION IS ON. OF
THE- WHAT THE LEGISLATURE
LEGISLATURES BEING ASKED- WITH
THIS VOTE AND THE VOTE-
TOMORROW- V. THERE ARE JUST A
LOT OF TALK ABOUT MULTIPLE-
TRAILER BILLS- WHAT. BILLS WOULD
WE BE SAYING YOU KNOW WHAT WILL
BE SEEN TOMORROW TERMS OF
GENERALS ARE WE ONLY GOING TO BE
GOING FORWARD WITH A BUDGET
FRAMEWORK IT'S JUST AND SB ONE A
ONE. OR THE ASSEMBLY THAT'S THE
ONLY BILL BEFORE US AND- THE
OTHER DOES NOT KNOW THE BILL'S
IMPRINT- ON THE FLIP SIDE. OKAY
THANK YOU VERY MUCH APPRECIATE
THE TIME. THANK YOU WILL GET A
MEMBER RIVAS AND THEN AS A
MEMBER FRIEDMAN. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR OF I WANT TO START
JUST MAKING COMMENTS ON SOME OF
THE BUDGET ITEMS OUR FIRST ON
HOMELESSNESS. I YOU KNOW WHILE
I'M THANKFUL THAT WE'RE LOOKING
AT PROVIDING AN ADDITIONAL YEAR
OF HAPPY FUNDING. I WOULD LIKE
TO SAY THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING
WITH A NUMBER OF ADVOCATES-
INCLUDING THE LEAGUE OF CITIES
C. SACK. AND THE BRING HOME
BRING CALIFORNIA HOME COALITION
ON WHICH IS A NUMBER OF-
ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE STATE-
BUT I'VE BEEN OUT YOU KNOW
DISAPPOINTED IN THE LACK OF
COMMUNICATION. FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION ON THIS ISSUE
IT'S THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE ON THE
CALIFORNIANS WANT TO SEE
ADDRESSED AND YET. OF YOU KNOW
WE HAVE HAD VERY LITTLE OF
COMMUNICATION WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION ON OUR EFFORTS TO
NOT ONLY CREATE ONGOING FUNDING.
BUT TO ENSURE STRICT
ACCOUNTABILITY WHICH- MANY OF MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE ALSO EXPRESSED
THAT THEY WANT TO SEE WHERE
WHERE ARE YOU KNOW PROVIDING
FUNDING BOB FOR HOMELESSNESS.
WHILE YOU KNOW TODAY WE'RE
PROVIDING A BANDAID IN TWO DAYS
BUDGET OF PROVIDING ONE MORE
YEAR OF HAP FUNDING. WE'RE NOT
REALLY TAKING THE AGGRESSIVE
STEPS NEEDED TO ADDRESS
HOMELESSNESS. I THINK WE COULD
BE DOING BETTER. AND I LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO WORK
WITH MY COLLEAGUES AND OUR
BUDGET CHAIR WHO I KNOW IS AS
EQUALLY COMMITTED. TO ADDRESSING
HOMELESSNESS. BOB AB NEXT I YOU
KNOW AS AS A MEMBER OF THE OF
LOS ANGELES COUNTY DELEGATION- I
WANT TO NOTE THAT. YOU KNOW
THIRTY NINE MEMBERS OF THE L. A.
COUNTY DELEGATION VOTED NOT TO
SUPPORT NEW BUDGET REQUESTS THIS
YEAR. ON THAT ADD ADDITIONAL
PRESSURES ON THE STATE INSTEAD
OUR DELEGATION VOTED TO REQUEST
THAT SPECIFIC BUDGET
COMMITMENTS. THAT WERE AGREED IN
THAT TWENTY TWENTY ONE AND
TWENTY TWENTY TWO BUDGET FISCAL
YEAR BE HONORED. I'M IN THIS
BUDGET AND ONE OF THE ISSUES
THAT WE HELD SEVERAL MEDIANS. ON
WAS THE FILM TAX CREDIT AND I'D
LIKE TO SAY THAT I'M EXCITED TO
SEE- THAT THE TAX CREDIT IS IN
THE BUDGET. I ALSO WANT TO THANK
BOTH ARE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY
BUDGET CHAIRS- FOR MEETING WITH
THE DELEGATION ON THESE
PRIORITIES AND- HEARING FROM OUR
MEMBERS THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR
MEMBERS THAT'S NUMBER FRIEDMAN.
AND THEN WE'LL GO BACK TO US
WHENEVER BONTA AND THE MISSING
THE NUMBER THREE. I'M THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATIONS
AND I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE ALL
THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE IN THE
BUDGET AND I ALSO APPRECIATE
THAT IT'S A TOUGH BUDGET YEAR.
AND THERE'S NO GETTING AROUND
THAT AND THERE'S GOING TO BE
THINGS IN THIS BUDGET THAT
PEOPLE DON'T LIKE. A FOR SURE
AND I THINK OVERALL THE SEE THE
MINISTRATIONS ON A GOOD JOB OF
BALANCING A LOT OF THAT- I DO
HAVE A QUESTION THOUGH ABOUT.
THE IMPACT. ON OUR CLIMATE GOALS
- FROM THIS BUDGET AND WHETHER
YOU'VE DONE ANY SORT OF
THUMBNAIL ANALYSIS. LAST YEAR WE
WORKED ON A CLIMATE PACKAGE WE
WERE VERY PROUD TO BE ABLE TO.
INCREASE OUR OUR GOALS AND HAVE
VERY LOFTY AMBITIONS THROUGH THE
CLIMATE PACKAGE. I'M IN THE
ASSEMBLY WORK WITH THE SENATE
AND THE ADMINISTRATION ON DOING
THAT AND I'M WONDERING HOW MUCH
THE IMPACT ON THOSE GOALS. ARE
REFLECTED IN THIS BUDGET AND
WHAT. WHAT IMPACT DO YOU THINK.
THAT SOME OF THIS WILL HAVE ON
THOSE SCHOOLS YOU KNOW FOR
INSTANCE ALL DOES THROW ONE ITEM
OUT- A PUTTING OFF INCREASES TO
THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION BUDGET
YOU KNOW A PROGRAM THAT'S
ALREADY OVER SUBSCRIBED THE WE
KNOW HAS VERY DIRECT GREENHOUSE
GAS. BENEFITS AND- WHILE I
HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GO YOU KNOW
AS A SURLY LINE BY LINE THROUGH
THIS. I DO WONDER GIVEN THE
GOVERNOR'S AMBITIONS WITH REGARD
TO CLIMATE. WHAT IMPACT YOU SEE
ON OUR ABILITY TO MEET OUR GOALS
FROM THE BUDGET. AND I WOULD
ALSO JUST THROW IN THE AIR
QUALITY IN AND THINGS LIKE THAT
ALONG WITH ALONG WITH THAT. A
GOOD MORNING CRYSTAL SURE TO
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE ALL THE
STATE OF. WE HAVEN'T DONE A
SPECIFIC ANALYSIS ON THE BILLS
THAT YOU'RE- DISCUSSING TODAY- I
WILL SAY GENERALLY SPEAKING
THERE'S A LOT OF. TIME AT
INVESTMENTS IN BOTH OF THE MAY
REVISION AND GOVERNOR'S BUDGET-
THAT PROTECTED A LOT OF THE
CLIMATE INVESTMENTS AND I THINK
THE LEGISLATIVE PLAN ALSO
PROTECTS A LOT OF- AREAS ON THE
CRIME INVESTMENTS. OBVIOUSLY
THERE ARE MODIFICATIONS AND
THEIR REDUCTIONS THAT ARE
NECESSARY IN ORDER TO MEET KIND
OF THE BROADER GENERAL FUND-
I'M- A FRAMEWORK BUT- I HAD TO
TAKE INTO YOUR MORE. DIRECT
QUESTION I WE HAVE NOT DONE AN
ANALYSIS IN TERMS OF THOSE
SPECIFIC IMPACTS. I'M IN TERMS
OF MEETING THOSE GOALS BUT I'M
CONTINUE TO A PRIORITIZE OF
THOSE THOSE GOALS THAT HAVE BEEN
LAID OUT VARIOUS ADMINISTRATION
PLANS. ANTHONY SYMBOL FROM
ANALYSTS OFFICE WE HAVEN'T DONE
IN SUCH AN ANALYSIS AS WELL. BUT
WE'LL SEE EVEN FOR THE LAST
COUPLE YEARS THE IMPACT OF
INVESTMENTS THAT WE HAVE MADE WE
REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'VE-
ACHIEVED MEETING OUR OUR VARIOUS
CALLS BECAUSE ALL THOSE PROJECTS
ARE STILL IN THE WORKS. THE
MONEY STILL GOING OUT SO EVEN IN
THE MONEY WE HAVE INVESTED
STILL- SOMETHING TO MAKE SURE IT
IS TO PROVIDE A COMPUTER
OVERSIGHT TO MAKE SURE. THOSE OF
THOSE WITH OUR MEDIA PRIORITIES
IN ADVANCING- THE BEAR SKULLS.
CHRISTIAN GOVERNMENT ASSEMBLY
BUDGET I'LL SAY THAT WE
PRIORITIZED AB SIX SEVENTEEN AND
WE ALSO PRIORITIZED ACTIVE
TRANSPORTATION RESTORATION FOR
THE REASONS YOU ARTICULATED. ONE
OF THE WAYS I THINK WE NEED TO
THINK ABOUT THIS THOUGH IS THAT
THERE IS THIS CLIMB UPON
CONVERSATION THAT'S GOING ON
PARALLEL TO THE BUDGET
CONVERSATION AND SORT OF OUR
INVESTMENT. HAS TO BE A
COMBINATION OF THOSE TWO
PACKAGES TOGETHER SO LOOKING AT
JUST THE BUDGET ISOLATION. IS AN
APPLICANT HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT
WE'RE DOING WHAT WE'RE FINDING
IN THE CASH BASIS IN THE BUDGET
VERSUS WHAT WOULD BE FUNDING
THROUGH A BOND MEASURE. MISS
BONTA. THANK YOU THIS IS A IN
THE AREA OF PUBLIC SAFETY OF
PRIMARILY SO I JUST WANT TO.
OFFER SOME COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT
IS IN THIS- PACKED RIGHT NOW
WHICH IS A AND ESSENTIALLY. A
SET OF MODEST INVESTMENTS AROUND
REHABILITATIVE PROGRAMMING IN
PRISONS. AND RESOURCES FOR
FAMILY JUSTICE CENTERS AND
SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
AND OUR BUDGET BILL CERTAINLY
ALSO REQUIRES US TO BE AND
INCLUDES A VERY FISCALLY
RESPONSIBLE PLAN. TO ADDRESS THE
GROWING NUMBER OF EMPTY PRISON
BEDS THAT ARE COSTING TAXPAYERS
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
EACH YEAR. SO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE
BETWEEN EIGHTEEN TO TWENTY EIGHT
THOUSAND EMPTY BEDS. OUT WHICH
TO ME. IS AN OBSCENE NUMBER OF
BEDS THAT ESSENTIALLY COSTS. US
BETWEEN SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION TO A BILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR- AND ALSO HAS ONGOING
CAPITAL EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH
THAT. THE WANTED TO GET A SENSE
FROM AT D. O. F. REGARDING THIS
LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE THAT WE'VE
MOVE ORDER THAT WE WELL WITH-
REGARD TO FUTURE TRAILER IT AT
IT C. B. L.'S. WHAT THE- WORST.
TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY-
COST SAVINGS IN THE AMOUNT OF
ANYWHERE BETWEEN SIX HUNDRED TO
SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR. BY ENSURING THAT WE ARE
ACTING IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE NUMBER OF
EMPTY BEDS THAT WE HAVE. I AM I
THINK AS WE'VE SAID. SEVERAL
TIMES I THINK IT'S A COMPLICATED
ISSUE- WE RECOGNIZE RECOGNIZE
LEGISLATORS PRIORITIES WERE NOT
READY TO COMMIT TO ANY ONE
SPECIFIC PATH WE RECOGNIZE THAT
MEANT- THAT LEGISLATORS GOALS
RELATED TO CLOSING MORE PRISONS.
AND INVESTING MORE IN OUR
REENTRY PROGRAMS ARE
REHABILITATIVE EFFORTS THOSE ARE
THINGS THAT ARE DEFINITELY
SHARED PRIORITIES WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION. AND THE SAN
QUENTIN OF COURSE REMAINS A TOP
PRIORITY FOR US AS WELL I'M AND
SO WE JUST LOOK FORWARD TO
ONGOING DISCUSSIONS ABOUT ALL OF
THOSE PIECES- AND ANTICIPATE
WILL BE ABLE TO REACH AGREEMENT
HOPEFULLY. AND CERTAINLY IT'S A
SHARED. TO SAVE SO HUNDRED
DOLLARS A YEAR. I'M I THINK AT
ANY SPECIFIC DOLLAR AMOUNT I'M
NOT READY TO SPEAK TO BUT
RECOGNIZE THAT IN AND THAT OUR
PRISON CLOSURES TO DATE- WE'VE
SAVED ROUGHLY. HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS FOR EACH OF
THOSE PRESENTS. WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR SHORT TO BE ABLE
TO SAVE ADDITIONAL FUNDS- IN
ADDITION TO THE- CLOSURES THAT
WE'VE ALREADY MADE BY. A CLOSING
ADDITIONAL WELL ENSURING THAT WE
HAVE A HEALTHY CUSHION FOR UP
PRISON BEDS UP BUT ALSO TO. TO
BE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE
ACTING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE SO
I'M VERY MUCH HOPING THAT WE CAN
CONTINUE TO COME TO AN
AGREEMENT. AROUND AROUND THAT
ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT WELL WE
WILL ALSO HAVE TO BALANCE THE
NEEDS OF OUR AND CAUGHT CARCERI
TO POPULATION THE MENTAL HEALTH
NEEDS THE EDUCATIONAL GOALS THE-
SPACE IN THE PROGRAMMING
OPPORTUNITIES AT EACH OTHER'S
PRESENCE. THE PRESSURE THAT. I
CAN SELECT. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR I HAD A QUESTION A T. K.
TO TWELVE EDUCATION OUR BUDGET
BUT ALSO SOME COMMENTS ABOUT
TRANSIT. AND I THINK THE IN THE
S. AND THE LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL
FOR TRANSFER FIVE BILLION
DOLLARS A FANTASTIC START I
THINK. YOU KNOW AS MUCH AS
IMPORTANT IT IS TO OUR
TRANSPORTATION GOALS ARE VMC
GOALS OR MISSION GOALS AND OUR
ECONOMIC GOALS. AS HEART AND
PIVOTAL TRANSIT IS THAT IT'S
ALSO PART OF YOU KNOW AS MUCH AS
IS IN LA. A STRONG CULTURAL
STAPLE OF THE BAY AREA AND I
REALLY WANT TO THANK OUR BUDGET
CHAIR ADDING FOR REALLY FIGHTING
FOR TO MAKE SURE WE GOT THOSE
INVESTMENTS IN THERE AND I HOPE
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION WILL.
RECOGNIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS
FOR ALL THE STATED THINGS ABOVE
DUCHESS OR TRANSPORTATION BUT
FOR OUR- ECONOMIC AND CULTURAL
ASPECT ESPECIALLY IN THE BAY
AREA WHERE ALL OUR TRANSIT
AGENCY SERVES SO MANY PEOPLE AND
IS LIKE A STAPLE OF OUR CULTURE.
THAT'S REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT
SURE OF THOSE FRIENDS AGENCIES
SURVIVE ESPECIALLY AS WHEN I
WROTE SENATE DISTRICT WHICH IS
THE CURRENT TERMINUS OF THE
BARK. OF BART WHERE WE HOPE TO
CONTINUE TO EXPAND THE LINE
FURTHER INTO DOWNTOWN SAN JOSE
SO I REALLY WANT TO THANK OUR
BUDGET STAFF AND OUR BUDGET FOR
FIGHTING FOR ALL THOSE
INVESTMENTS WITHOUT THAT FIGHT
I. REALLY DO SHUDDER TO THINK
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO OUR TRANSIT
AGENCIES IN THE TRANSVERSE IN
THE SO MANY FAMILIES THAT DEPEND
ON IT SO I REALLY WANT TO THANK
THE- FIVE BILLION DOLLARS TO
START. I THINK IT'S GONNA GET
OUR TRANSIT AGENCIES A LONG WAY.
I DID HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT
TICKET TWELVE EDUCATION BECAUSE
I WAS BROUGHT UP BY MY COLLEAGUE
FROM SAN DIEGO COUNTY. IS THAT
WE DID FIGHT VERY HARD. AND WHEN
I SAID ON BUDGET SUB TO AS WELL
FOR THE COLA. EIGHT POINT TWO
TWO HISTORICAL IS FOR EDUCATORS.
BUT I AM HEARING FROM MY OWN
DISTRICT IN MANY OTHER DISTRICTS
THAT THAT IS NOT BEING
TRANSLATED TO EDUCATORS. SO HOW.
ARE WE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT WHEN
WE PUT. BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM
PROP NINETY EIGHT. IN ORDER TO
COMPENSATE OUR EDUCATORS BETTER.
THAT THOSE DOLLARS ACTUALLY
REACH THE PEOPLE WE INTEND
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT NOT WHAT
WE'RE SEEING ON THE GROUND RIGHT
NOW SO WHAT KIND OF CONTABILIDAD
RISEN HOW TO ENSURE THAT. THE
MONEY ACTUALLY GETS TO THE.
EDUCATORS WE INTENDED IT TO GO
TO. AARON GABLES. BUDGET
COMMITTEE. YES SO WE- ARE THIS
YEAR HAVE AN EIGHT. 2% COLA FOR
THE- CONTROL FUNDING. AS WELL AS
A NUMBER OF. CATEGORICAL
PROGRAMS. THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT
ROBERT BUDGET. THIS IS ON TOP OF
LAST YEAR'S 15% INCREASES- IT IS
CORRECT THERE ARE NOT
PROTECTIONS WITHIN THE LOCAL
CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA OR
OTHER. PROVISIONS IN THE STATE
BUDGET AROUND HOW THOSE FUNDS
THAT ARE LOCALLY BARGAINED. IN
LOCALLY PLANNED FOR SO.
CONSISTENT WITH THE- POLICY
CHANGES AROUND THE LOCAL CONTROL
FUNDING FORMULA THAT WERE
ADOPTED NOW TEN YEARS AGO. THE
OB THERE'S A LOCAL PROCESS FOR
THEIR LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY-
PLANTS ARE LOCAL CONTROL
ACCOUNTABILITY PLANS THAT SHOW
HOW THEY'RE GOING TO SPEND THE
FUNDS- BUT- THERE IS NO
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXAMPLE THOSE
TRANSLATE INTO. A STAFF. POLOS
OR RAISES OR- OTHER KINDS OF
COSTS IN TERMS OF BENEFIT
PACKAGES AND PENSION. CITY
CLARIFY WHEN WE PUT THAT MONEY.
INTO THE BUDGET AND SEVERAL
YEARS IN A ROW NOW WE'D JUST.
STATING LEGISLATIVE INTENT BUT
IT BASICALLY LETS ALL THE
IMPLEMENTATION INTO THE EARLY
EIGHTIES. I THINK THAT AT THE
IMPORTANT DISTINCTION IS THAT
THE- THE LEGISLATURE AND THE
ADMINISTRATION THAT THE STATE
HAS MADE A COMMITMENT TO
SUSTAINABLE ONGOING INCREASES
WITHIN THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING
FORMULA. AND THESE OTHER AT CORE
PROGRAMS THAT DO FUND STAFF ON
THE FUNDS THE CARING ADULTS THAT
ARE. ON CAMPUS IS WORKING WITH
OUR STUDENTS AND DAY IN AND DAY
OUT- YOU ALSO SAW THAT IN OUR
ONE TIME LEARNING RECOVERY. AND
GRANT THAT WE ADOPTED LAST YEAR
TO ADDRESS ALL OF THE IMPACTS TO
MENTAL HEALTH AND TO LEARNING ON
THE RESULT OF COATED. I YOU SEE
THAT COMMITMENT IN THE STATE'S
ARCHITECTURE THERE CONTINUES TO
BE CONCERNED WE UNDERSTAND IT
MANY LOCAL BARGAINING TABLES
THAT THAT. CONSISTENCY AND
STABILITY AND COMMITMENT FROM
THE STATE IS NOT NECESSARILY AS
STRONG AS WE ASSERT AND SO THAT
IS WHY IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE
CONTINUE TO ASSERT THAT. WITH
THE KIND OF PRUDENT GROWTH
WITHIN THE GUARANTEED WE'RE
SHOWING YEAH AND I WOULD JUST
FLAG FOR US I THINK AS A BODY TO
THINK ABOUT YOU KNOW THIS IS THE
MONEY WE INTENDED VERY. STRONGLY
THAT IT WOULD TRANSLATE FOR
CERTAIN RESULTS AND IT'S NOT
GETTING THERE IN THAT WAY AND-
LOOK IF WE CAN I GENERALLY JUST
WANTED TO GIVE MORE PROP NINETY
EIGHT MONEY IN GENERAL'S ELEAZAR
THAT'S- THAT'S FINE BUT WE KINDA
DESIGNED THIS FOR SPECIFIC
REASON. I DON'T ONCE OUR
CONSTITUENTS ARE EDUCATORS BE
LET DOWN AND THE THING THAT WE
FOUGHT REALLY HARD TO DO SO I
THINK THIS IS SOMETHING WE
SHOULD CONSIDER LOOK AT AND MAKE
SURE WE HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY. IS
I KNOW THAT ONE OF OUR BIG
FRUSTRATIONS AS A BODY TO IS
WHEN WE- GIVE MONEY CERTAIN
PEOPLE WE INTENDED THAT SPENT ON
A CERTAIN PURPOSE AND- I WOULD
NOT LIKE TO SEE THAT- DISCIPLINE
CONTINUALLY FURTHER ESPECIALLY
AS SO MANY. EDUCATORS FIND IT
VERY HARD TO LIVE IN THE
DISTRICT THE TEACH SO I WANT TO
CONTINUE TO. WORK ON THAT MAKE
SURE IT'S- THE MONEY'S ALL THE-
TO THANK YOU. THANK YOU- WE'RE
NOT GOING TO MISS REYES IN THE
MIST PATTERSON. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR. I WANTED TO ECHO SOME OF
THE COMMENTS MADE BY. MY
COLLEAGUE FROM OAKLAND.
REGARDING CHILD CARE AND EARLY
EDUCATION. OTHER ONE POINT TWO
BILLION I THINK IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT AND TALKED A LOT ABOUT
COALITIONS. THESE ARE CHILD CARE
WORKERS WHO RECEIVE NO COLA. FOR
YEARS AND WE'RE FINALLY GOING
TO- PROVIDE SOMETHING FOR THEM.
RECOGNIZING THAT THERE ARE
ONGOING COLLECTIVE BARGAINING.
DISCUSSIONS THE FAMILY FEE
WAIVER YOU ARE CORRECT IT WAS
EXTENDED- FEDERAL FUNDS EXTENDED
THROUGH THE END OF. SEPTEMBER
AND THAT IS ABSOLUTELY
APPRECIATED ESPECIALLY BY. OUR
FAMILIES WHO QUALIFY FOR THE
SUBSIDIZE CARE. AND THEN ARE
BEING ASKED TO PAY FAMILY FEES.
EVEN AFTER BEING QUALIFIED- IS
THERE A- FROM FROM. FROM TO
FINANCE- IS THERE. A YEAH AND I
KNOW THE QUESTIONS ROWS BUT IS
THERE. A THOUGHT ON. HOW MUCH IS
GOING TO BE PUT IN SPECIFICALLY.
OR IN GENERAL IDEA ON CHILD CARE
OR OR- REGARDING THE ONGOING
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING SOMETHING
REGARDING THAT TO OUR THEIR
THOUGHTS ON THAT SPECIFICALLY.
CHRIS FERGUSON FINANCE AGAIN
UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T SPEAK TO
SPECIFIC AMOUNT TONIGHT WHAT I
CAN'T SPEAK TO IS THOSE
CONVERSATIONS. WITH
REPRESENTATIVES FOR UP YOU KNOW
THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY CONTINUE
TO OCCUR- IN THE BACKGROUND- BUT
AT THIS TIME WE CAN'T MAKE A
SPECIFIC COMMITMENT ON AMOUNTS
ON WHAT IS OCCURRING IN
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING- BUT THOSE
DISCUSSIONS ARE OCCURRING IN THE
BACKGROUND. VERY WELL SO IT
COMMITMENT CANNOT BE MADE FOR A
SPECIFIC DOLLAR AMOUNT IS OUR
COMMITMENT TO BE SURE THAT WE DO
INCLUDE SOMETHING THAT- AS NOTED
EARLIER THIS IS THE WOMEN'S
CAUCUS PRIORITY IS MAKING SURE
THAT OUR CHILD THE CHILD CARE IS
INCLUDED IN THE IN THE BUDGET-
IS IT- ABLE TO GIVE A ARE YOU
ABLE TO GIVE A COMMITMENT. THAT
CHILD CARE. WITHOUT REGARD TO
THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THE CHILD CARE
WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE IN. WILL
BE INCLUDED IN THE
ADMINISTRATION'S DISCUSSIONS.
YEAH I CAN CERTAINLY SAY THAT
THE DISCUSSION IS OCCURRING- AND
THAT YOU KNOW WE'VE COMMITTED TO
THAT DISCUSSION WITH YOUR STAFF-
I CAN'T SAY WHAT THE OUTCOME OF
THOSE DISCUSSIONS WILL BE. I
WILL SAY THAT YOU KNOW THERE ARE
EXAMPLES IN THE MAY REVISION
WHERE WE DID HAVE A PURSUANT TO
LAW THE COST OF LIVING
ADJUSTMENTS- WE DID ACCOUNT FOR-
YOU KNOW THOSE TYPES OF
STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS WHICH ARE
INCREASES- CHIU THE- SAY THE
STANDARD BEAT REIMBURSEMENT
RATE- WE ALSO BROAD RECENTLY HAD
THE CONVERSATION AROUND. YOUR
THE ACTION PACKAGE WHICH WAS
PROVIDING ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY
TO PROVIDE STIPENDS TO PROVIDERS
I'M SO THOSE CONVERSATIONS
CONTINUE- I JUST CAN'T TODAY SAY
THAT THERE'S A SPECIFIC DOLLAR
AMOUNT A SPECIFIC PERCENTAGE.
YOU KNOW SPECIFIC PARAMETERS
THAT WERE I'M LOOKING AT IN
THOSE CONVERSATIONS- BUT I CAN
VERY MUCH THEY WERE COMMITTED TO
THE CONVERSATION WITH YOUR
STAFF- I JUST CAN'T SAY WHAT THE
OUTCOME OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS
WILL. AND THE CLEARLY THIS IS
PART OF A LARGER CONVERSATION
REGARDING LONG TERM REFORM. ON
RATE INCREASES FOR PROVIDERS
ISN'T JUST A ONE TIME AS WAS
NOTED EARLIER THIS IS ONGOING.
AT THE END ANOTHER ARM AREA IS
OUR BILINGUAL TEACHER
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
PROGRAM THAT WE HAD FOR A NUMBER
OF YEARS- THAT WOULD LAPSED. I
WAS NOT REFUNDED BUT IT IS
INCLUDED IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET
AND I. WITH THE TEACHERS FOR
SHORTAGE IS SOMETHING THAT I
THINK IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
AND SHOULD BE SHOULD REMAIN
THERE. ANOTHER AREA IS IN THE
AREA OF HEALTH. MAKING SURE THAT
WE'RE PROVIDING HEALTH CARE TO
THOSE WHO- NOT JUST IN THE
CLINICS BUT ARE SPECIFICALLY FOR
PUT ON WITHOUT US IN THE SALUTE.
THE PROGRAM- BEING PROVIDED TEN
MILLION DOLLARS. WE KNOW THAT
THEY PROVIDE SUCH A CRITICAL
ROLE IN OUR COMMUNITIES. AND
THEIR SUPPORT IS. IMPORTANT FOR
US AS WE- PROVIDE HEALTH CARE TO
THE COMMUNITY. BUT THE LAST ONE
IS THE CAL HOME PROGRAM- THERE
WAS ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.
ALLOCATED FOR THIS YEAR. IN THE
MAY REVISE. IT WAS NO LONGER
THERE- IN THE LEGISLATIVE
PROPOSAL WE DO RETAIN. FIFTY
MILLION OF THAT ONE HUNDRED
MILLION- FOR THIS YEAR I'M GLAD
TO SEE THAT THERE IS A PLAN TO
RETAIN THIS- AS WE KNOW THE CAL
HOMES. IS THE ONLY STATE PROGRAM
THAT ACTUALLY ALLOCATES FUNDING
TOWARD AFFORDABLE HOMEBUILDING
FOR FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS. AND
IN RECENT YEARS. HAS BEEN
OVERSUBSCRIBED. BUT SO MAKING
SURE THAT WE DO PROVIDE SOME
FUNDING AND THERE IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT. KEEPING OUR PROMISES
FROM WHAT WE SAID WE WOULD DO.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU GOVERNMENT
OR LEADER OUT WILL IT WORK TO GO
TO MR PATTERSON ONE SECOND I DO
WANNA MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT JUST
IN CASE. CLARIFY THIS ISN'T
HEARING WE'RE NOT TAKING A VOTE
ON. THE BUDGET AS PRESENTED
TODAY THE VOTE WILL BE ON THE
FLOOR TOMORROW SO THAT WE'RE
GONNA MISS PATTERSON. GREAT
THANK YOU. RESHAPED THE
OPPORTUNITY AND JUST WANTED TO
MAKE A COUPLE COMMENTS JUST SO
IS THIS PROCESS PLAYS OUT TO
THESE TWO ITEMS THAT CONTINUE TO
HAVE A FAN OVER HERE. I'M OF
THEM BEING INCLUDED. ONE IS I
COMMEND BOTH. THE CAN YOU
BELIEVE I'M GONNA SAY THIS
NOBODY HERE CAN ALSO I COMMEND
ADMINISTRATION. AND THE
LEGISLATURE FOR. FUNDING FENTON
ALL PREVENTION PROGRAMS- AND
FUNDING AT LEAST IN PART A PIECE
OF LEGISLATION THAT I'VE
INTRODUCED TO HAVE. THE LOCK
SOON ON SCHOOL CAMPUSES I THINK
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT- IT IS
THAT FAST THIS IS A VERY FAST
GROWING AS YOU KNOW ARE ALSO
MORE DEATHS IS A RESULT OF-
OPIOIDS THAN GUN VIOLENCE IN
CALIFORNIA. AND WHILE I THINK
THIS IS SORT OF A BANDAID
APPROACH TO A GROWING PROBLEM WE
HAVE TO ADDRESS THE ROOT ISSUE.
I THINK. FIGHTING TREATMENT FOR
OVERDOSES IS REALLY IMPORTANT IN
THIS DAY AND I APPRECIATE THE
COMMITMENT TO FUNDING THAT BOTH
FROM THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE
LEGISLATURE. AND ALSO- THE MAY
REVISE. IT YOU KNOW WHAT I SAID
ON THE BUDGET SUB THAT DISCUSS
THAT CASA PROGRAMS COURT
APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES. AND
YOU KNOW I WAS REALLY DISMAYED
IN THE JANUARY BUDGET PROPOSED
CUTTING THE FORTY MILLION DOLLAR
. THAT WAS ADDED WHAT SIXTY
MILLION LAST BUDGET BUT- TWENTY
MILLION WAS SPENT OBVIOUSLY AND
THEN TWENTY MILLION FOR THE NEXT
THIS YEAR THIS COMING YEAR AND
THE YEAR AFTER- YEAH I WAS
DISAPPOINTED YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY
KIDS IN FOSTER CARE ARE A- YOU
KNOW THE STATE HAS
RESPONSIBILITY TO CARE FOR THEM.
AND AS I WAS DISAPPOINTED BY
THAT KIND I WAS APPRECIATED THE
MAY REVISE INCLUDED IT TO AFTER
MY COLLEAGUES. ON THE- BUDGET
SUB COMMITTEE YOU KNOW ADVOCATED
FOR PUTTING THAT BACK IN THERE
SO I THINK THAT'S A- IT'S A
GREAT THING AND HOPE THAT
CONTINUES TO STAY IN THERE IS
THIS BUDGET PLAYS OUT. I'LL
DEFINITELY KEEP ADVOCATING FOR
THAT SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
BUSINESSPERSON WE'RE GOING TO GO

ISN'T EIGHT MAKE A MISTAKE THIS
IS AN A MINUS BUDGET. YOU KNOW
WE WERE AT A PLUS FOR THE PAST
COUPLE YEARS PROBABLY LITTLE BIT
UNREALISTIC TO GET A PLUS AND I
YOUR GRADES OF THE STUDENT. SO
NOW WE'RE GOING BACK TO A MINUS.
AND IT'S NOT LIKE ALL THOSE GUYS
FALLING. WE'RE HAVING BUDGET
CUTS THIS IS STILL. AN AMAZING
STATE BUDGET INVESTS IN OUR
PRIORITIES CONTINUES THE
TRANSFORMATIONAL INVESTMENTS

OUR FUTURE AND THIS IS A BUDGET
THAT I THINK- WE CAN BE PRODUCT-
AS MR. LEE NOTED- YOU KNOW
EIGHT. PERCENT PLUS FOR A CALL

KNOW NOT NORMAL. AND BY FAR THE
WINNER OF THE STATE BUDGET THERE
ARE A LOT OF- ISSUE AREAS. MR
ARAMBULA SUBCOMMITTEE. THE DID
NOT GET. ANY PERCENT. A 5% COLA
EVEN IS PER. COLA SO SOME OF THE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE OUT FOR
MORE. I WOULD SAY YOU KNOW
CHECKED AT THE DOOR AND LOOK
IT'S FAR AS WHERE THE NUMBERS
ARE FOR INVESTING. IN PUBLIC
EDUCATION- FOR HIGHER ED STILL A
VERY POSITIVE 5% INCREASE AGAIN
MORE THAN A LOT OF OTHER FOLKS
GOT. IN THE STATE BUDGET
ALLOWING US TO. REALLY INVEST IN
THE FUTURE IN UC AND CSU. ACCESS
ENROLLMENT SOME SOME MAJOR MAJOR
WINS FOR EXPANDING ACCESS TO THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA WHICH
YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT IN YOUR
COMMUNITIES THAT. OUR STUDENTS
HAVE AMAZING GPAS GREAT-
ENGAGEMENT IN THEIR PUBLIC HIGH
SCHOOL AND CAN'T GET INTO THEIR
TAXPAYER FUNDED UNIVERSITY I
KNOW MORE- WE ARE YOU KNOW. RATS
GREATLY IT AND EXPANDING. ACCESS
TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
AND RAVEN CAPPING ENROLLMENT FOR
A NON RESIDENT STUDENTS AND
GIVING THOSE SLOTS BACK TO
RIGHTFULLY CALIFORNIANS AND
SELF. YOU KNOW THAT'S A MAJOR
MAJOR A WIN IN THIS BUDGET-
FORWARD SOME OF THE- FINANCIAL
AID REFORMS THAT WE FOCUS ON THE
PAST FEW YEARS NOT ABLE TO DO
FULL EXPANSION BUT THAT'S YOU
KNOW. SOMETHING THAT WE'RE
WORKING ON- FOR ANOTHER DAY I
APPRECIATE THE STUDENT HOUSING
INVESTMENT HERE KNOWING THAT YOU
KNOW WE LOOK AT THE ISSUES FOR
EXAMPLE AT UC BERKELEY. AND-
KIND OF. A LITTLE BIT OF A SCARE
THERE AND ROLLING ADDITIONAL
STUDENTS AND THE ISSUE WAS
HOUSING AND SO THIS- REALLY
INNOVATIVE REVOLVING LOAN FUND-
ALLOWS US TO ADDRESS STUDENT- IN
ROME AFTER HOUSING YOU KNOW. AND
DEAL WITH YOU KNOW ACUTE HOUSING
PROBLEMS THE LOCAL LEVEL SOME OF
THE CITIES AS WELL SO- A DAY TO
ON. KIND OF UNFINISHED. BUSINESS
THINGS THAT I WANTED TO ADDRESS
THIS AND THOUGH THAT WE HEARD
FROM THIS RIGHT YES AND- MISS
BONTA EARLIER I HEARD YOU A
LITTLE ON THE SPOTS ON. MY ON
MY- AND ON WAY OVER HERE SO I
KNOW THE YOU WERE MAKING SOME
COMMENTS A THIS. A EARLIER. IT'S
IN ITS IN OUR PRIOR HERE THIS
TWO PART DEAL IT'S NOT ONLY THE
WOMEN'S CAUCUS PRIORITY AS MISS
REYES SAID IT WAS THE ASSEMBLY
STOPPER IT MAKES A WEEK WE
CONCLUDE WITH THIS AND SO. ON
YOU KNOW IT'S NOT THAT IT'S NOT
GONNA BE YOU KNOW THAT THE
BUDGET I WAS TALKING ABOUT IF WE
LEAVE THIS THIS- SEGMENT BEHIND.
IT SO ONE THING I'M JUST
PERPLEXED ON AND MAYBE YOU CAN
HELP ME MR FERGUSON. I KNOW YOU
THAT USE THE YOU MENTION-
THERE'S THE DOLLAR AMOUNT WE
HAVEN'T SETTLED ON FOR OUR
INVESTMENTS IN CHILD CARE AND
THAT'S JUST- AND RATES TO MAKE
SURE THAT THAT'S- OF. WRITING
AND VIABLE. INDUSTRY AND SERVES
FAMILIES MOST IMPORTANTLY AND
KIDS. YOU KNOW YOU MENTIONED
THAT THERE'S ONGOING.
NEGOTIATIONS FOR COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING BUT- CORRECT ME IF
I'M WRONG I THINK LIKE ONLY A
THIRD. OF THE- WORKFORCE IS
UNIONIZED PART OF THIS
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. SO YOU
KNOW TWO THIRDS OF THE FOLKS AND
WE WISH THERE WERE ALL THE YOU
KNOW- REPRESENTED YOU CAN FIGHT
FOR THEIR- WAGES BUT THE
INCREASES WHAT IF AT IMPACT
THEM. SO IN OTHER WORDS WE'RE
TRYING TO SETTLE SOMETHING FOR A
THIRD AND TWO THIRDS THAT PEOPLE
ARE LIKE HEY YOU CAN JUST TAKE
CARE OF US RIGHT ABOUT NOW. AND
SO- I JUST DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
FAIR AND SO- IT IS. HOW DO YOU
JUSTIFY THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO.
FIND FINALIZE THE CONTRACT FOR
THE ROUGHLY THIRD OF THE
POPULATION. AND THEN TWO THIRDS
OF THE WORK FORCE WHO ARE CHILD
CARE- WORKERS AND OR- STATE
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM NECK WHICH
COULD WOULD BENEFIT FROM THESE
RATE INCREASES ARE NOT EVEN PART
OF THAT CONVERSATION AND THERE
BE WERE BEING HELD UP THERE.
YEAH LET'S CERTAINLY- YOU KNOW
WE RECOGNIZE SOME WE APPRECIATE
THE- WORK FORCE HERE AND WE
APPRECIATE THE EFFORTS OF- CHILD
CARE PROVIDERS UNITED- IN
NEGOTIATING A COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING AGREEMENT WITH THE
STATE- WHAT I CAN SAY TO. CHEW
YOUR COMMENT THOUGH IS. THE LAST
TIME WELL AN AGREEMENT WAS
REACHED IN TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO
THE INCREASES THE WERE REACHED
IN THAT AGREEMENT APPLIED TO ALL
PROVIDERS NOT JUST- THOSE THAT
WERE REPRESENTED. THE
UNREPRESENTED PROVIDERS SAW
THOSE RATE INCREASES AS WELL
THEN WE WOULD ANTICIPATE THAT
THE ODD WHATEVER COMES OUT OF
THAT COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
AGREEMENT WHAT ULTIMATELY APPLY.
YOU KNOW UNIVERSALLY TO ALL OF
THE PROVIDERS IN THE SYSTEM
WHETHER THAT'S A PRESCHOOL
PROVIDERS OR CHILD CARE
PROVIDERS- THAT WOULD APPLY
UNIVERSALLY- AND CERTAINLY- WE
RECOGNIZE IT AS YOU. HEARD
EARLIER WE RECOGNIZE THAT THEIR
CONVERSATIONS ON GOING WITH
REPRESENTATIVES FOR- YOUR HOUSE
AS WELL AS THE SENATE- ON WHAT
THAT THAT PACKAGE IT ALTERNATELY
LOOK LIKE- SO. ARE THOSE
CONVERSATIONS CONTINUE- BUT
ULTIMATELY- YOU KNOW WE
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A
PROCESS FOR COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING WE UNDERSTAND- THAT
THAT DODD. NEED THAT LABOR UNION
CURRENTLY ONLY REPRESENTS YOU
KNOW SOMEWHERE AROUND THAT- ONE
THIRD OF THE WORKFORCE- BUT WE
DO RECOGNIZE THAT YOU KNOW THE
OUTCOMES OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS
ULTIMATELY APPLY UNIVERSALLY- TO
THE SYSTEM. YEAH I KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING I DON'T KNOW.
AGREE BECAUSE THE TWO THIRDS.
THEY WOULD BENEFIT FROM WHATEVER
DEAL IT WAS BUT THE MEANTIME
WHAT WHY ARE WE THEY'RE GETTING
HELD UP AND SO. I JUST DON'T
THINK THAT'S FAIR ESPECIALLY
WHEN WE SEE SOME OF THESE
PROGRAMS ON THE EDGE ANYWAY. ON
THE EDGE AND SO- YOU KNOW JUST
TO RICHEST REITERATED HAVE.
ROBUST FUNDING FOR I. T. K.
THROUGH TWELVE EDUCATION- AND
THAT IS THE T. IN THERE IN THE
K. SO. WE STAND BY THAT THAT IS
A- A PROGRAM BEING IMPLEMENTED
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA MAKING A
DIFFERENCE CHANGING LIVES AND
HELPING FAMILIES NOT HAVING TO
PAY. YOU KNOW THE ROUGHLY TWO
GRAND A MONTH SOMETIMES IT COSTS
MORE TO GO TO. A PRESCHOOL FOR
PRIVATE PRESCHOOL FOR FOUR YEAR
OLD ADJUSTING UC BERKELEY AND SO
YOU KNOW THAT'S A BIG WIN FOR
FAMILIES ACROSS CALIFORNIA BUT
WE AFTER WE DO REALIZE THAT
THERE ARE- YOU KNOW IMPACTS AND
OF THE OTHER. PART OF THE CHILD
CARE FIELD AS WELL AND SO PART
OF THE THAT. THE REMEDY IS
MAKING SURE WE ADEQUATELY
REIMBURSED FOR THE RACE AND SO
YOU KNOW IT WOULD BE A FAILURE
ON OUR BUDGET IF WE DON'T
FINALIZE THIS THIS PIECE AS
WELL. I'M JUST MAYBE TO BUY
COULD SHIFT TO. ANOTHER TOPIC IS
NOT IN OUR- MY OUR AREA AND SAID
TO BUT THE AREA THAT WE ALL HEAR
ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA THAT'S THE
HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS. AND SO
ALL I KNOW ALL OF. YOU KNOW.
WITH THE WE'VE BEEN HEARING FOR
THE DESIRE FOR ONGOING MONEY FOR
THAT AND SO WE HAVE A TWO YEAR
SOLUTION. AND I THINK THAT'S
PROBABLY ABOUT AS GOOD AS HE
GETS YOU KNOW WITH THE YOU KNOW
EVERY. EVERY YEAR IS PRETTY
MUCH. TRANSPIRED SO CAN YOU WALK
THROUGH- MR COOK THE- THE- THE
CHANGES THAT WERE LOOKING AT HIS
FOCUS ON INCREASED
ACCOUNTABILITY IN ADDITION TO
JUST THE INCREASE REVENUE- THEY
HAVE THE- NOT INCREASE REVENUES
THE- THE COMMITMENT A REVENUES
FOR TWO YEARS. THANK YOU CHRIS
COOK WITH PARMA FINANCE. SO
CONVERSATIONS ARE CURRENTLY
ONGOING- AS TO THE LANGUAGE- IN
REFERENCE FOR THE ACCOUNTABILITY
FOR THE HALF PROGRAM- BUT AS I
CAN'T GET INTO THE DETAILS RIGHT
NOW SO THAT THOSE ARE STILL
BEING DISCUSSED BUT WHAT I CAN
SAY IS THAT. THE LEGISLATURE AND
ADMINISTRATION HAVE COMMON GOALS
AND- A FRAMEWORK WHICH
ESSENTIALLY REVOLVES AROUND-
REGIONAL PLANS FOR LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS TO COME TOGETHER
AND DEVELOP A HOMELESSNESS
PLANS. AND THAT INCLUDE- GOALS
AND OUTCOME MEASURES- FOR THOSE
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS TO IT TO ME
AS CONDITIONS OF RECEIPT OF
BILLS HOMELESSNESS DOLLARS. SO
THAT'S WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION
WANTS GOING FORWARD OR IS THAT'S
WHAT THE PART PART I NEVER DID
OUR TWO PARTY. THE ON THIS BUT
IT YOU HAVE YOU EMBRACING. THAT
PROVISIONS WE HAVE HERE FOR AT
THE CHAPLAIN NO LANGUAGE NO
LANGUAGE HAS BEEN FINALIZED YET
BUT I WOULD SAY THAT THE
CONVERSATIONS ARE ONGOING AND
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE-
ADMINISTRATION SHARE THOSE
COMMON GOALS. OKAY OKAY THANK
YOU. THANK YOU MISTER CHECK.
THANK YOU WE'RE GONNA GO TO A-
GENERAL ASSEMBLY BUDGET
COMMITTEE JUST WANTED TO ADD IN
THERE THAT YOU WANTED THAT YOU
PARTY D. FIELD LOOKS AT SOME OF
THE PROVISIONS THAT ARE INCLUDED
IN BILLS THAT I'VE RUNNING OF
THAT ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING
THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE.
INCLUDING MYSTERY THIS IS BILL
AS WELL AS MR KING'S. THAT HAVE
ELEMENTS OF THE REGIONAL
ACCOUNTABILITY AS MR- COOK SAID
AND SOME OF THE STREAMLINING OF
JUST THE DEPARTMENTS OF THE
DEPARTMENTS IN- THAT OVERSEE
THE- HOMELESSNESS FINDING.
FEATHERS PIECES THERE AND ALSO
DISCUSSION ABOUT MOVING BONUS
POTS THAT HAVE FIND MORE FUNDING
NOW RATHER THAN IN THE OUT YEARS
THAT'S THAT'S WHAT'S INCLUDED IN
THE ASSEMBLY VERSION OKAY. I
MEAN THE LEGISLATIVE PERSON
SORRY THANK YOU JIM. THANK YOU
GOODNESS MERCY G. THE NEW-
MISTER ROBERTS. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR I WANT TO. OF FOLLOW- ARE
BUDGET SUB COMMITTEE. SHARE AND-
THANKING THE- GOVERNOR'S OFFICE
THE GOVERNOR FOR. HIS ONGOING
STRONG SUPPORT TO PROTECT
CLASSROOM FUNDING. AS CHAIR OF
THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE. I ALSO
SHARE. MY APPRECIATION FOR IN-
EDUCATION T. K. THROUGH TWELVE.
AND IN THIS TOUGH- A CHALLENGING
BUDGET YEAR TO RECEIVE A EIGHT
POINT TWO TWO- PERCENT COST OF
LIVING INCREASE. NOT ONLY THAT
BUT TO CONTINUE. OUR STATE'S
EFFORTS TO LEAD THE COUNTRY I N.
OUR- EFFORTS TO. ADDRESS THE
CRISIS OF. A PANDEMIC LEARNING
LOSS- THROUGH- THE STATE'S
ONGOING STRONG LEADERSHIP AND
SUPPORT FOR PROGRAMS LIKE. THE
E. LAW PROGRAM- FOR TO SUPPORT
AFTER SCHOOL TO SUPPORT SUMMER
SCHOOLS WE KNOW. WE'RE HEARING
FROM. A DISTRICTS ESPECIALLY OUR
LARGE URBAN DISTRICTS LIKE LOS
ANGELES UNIFIED THAT THEY HAVE.
SUCCEEDED IN MAKING. SIGNIFICANT
OF RECOVERIES- IN OUR LEARNING
LOSS THAT WE SAW DURING THE
PANDEMIC- THROUGH OUR ONGOING
SUPPORT FOR THOSE PROGRAMS AND
SO YOU KNOW I AM ALSO VERY
PLEASED TO SEE THAT- YOU KNOW
THESE. FUNDING PROGRAMS ARE
GOING TO BENEFIT EACH AND
EVERYONE OF OUR DISTRICTS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA- ARM. AND SO I WANT
TO THANK GOD THAT THE GOVERNOR
AS WELL AS OUR- BUDGET
LEADERSHIP FOR PROTECTING THE
CLASSROOM FUNDING I DO WANT TO-
THE- TIE BACK TO OUR EARLIER
QUESTION OR COMMENT MADE BY MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SATURDAY. WHICH
IS. YOU KNOW AGAIN AS AS CHAIR
OF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE ONE
OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES THAT I
HEAR IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
IS OUR WORK FORCE A SHORTAGE OR
WORKFORCE CRISIS. AND WE KNOW
FROM. YEARS OF SURVEYS THAT THE
NUMBER ONE REASON WHY. WE CAN'T
ATTRACT MORE YOUNG PEOPLE INTO
THE TEACHING PROFESSION. IN
ORDER TO BECOME EDUCATORS- IS
BECAUSE OF. THE LOW PAY. AND MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN JOSE ASKED
EARLIER YOU KNOW HOW DO WE-
ENSURE THAT OUR- ONGOING
COMMITMENT TO. SUPPORT CLASSROOM
FUNDING IS TRANSLATED INTO. ARM
SUPPORTING OUR TEACHERS AND OUR
SPECIAL SCHOOL STAFF- THAT ARE
ESSENTIAL TO KEEP OUR SCHOOLS
RUNNING- TO ADDRESS THIS WORK
FOR SHORTAGE- AND SO I DID WANT
TO- REMIND. THE IN THIS
COMMITTEE- THAT THAT- I. DO HAVE
A BILL ASSEMBLY BILL NINE THIRTY
EIGHT THAT WAS PROPOSING IS
PROPOSING. A LOCAL CONTROL
FUNDING FORMULA FUNDING TARGETS
OF THE FUNDING TARGETS- AND
APPROACH THAT THAT WE HAVE
SUCCESSFULLY ARE. YOU KNOW FIRST
SUED BACK IN TWENTY THIRTEEN-
WHEN GOVERNOR BROWN- OF
ESTABLISHED LCF FUNDING TARGETS
TO REACH OUR GOAL OF VAN OF
RESTORING ALL OF OUR BUDGET
CUTS- ARM SUFFERED DURING THE
GREAT RECESSION. NOW IN ORDER TO
ADDRESS IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGES FACING OUR K. THROUGH
TWELVE SCHOOLS ARE WORKFORCE
CRISIS. I WANT TO ASK THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE- WHAT IS
YOUR POSITION IN TERMS OF
ADOPTING- LCF FUNDING TARGETS
GOING FORWARD. IN ORDER TO CLOSE
THE WAGE GAP OF FOR OUR TEACHERS
AND OUR SPECIAL SCHOOL STAFF. SO
CERTAINLY WE DON'T HAVE AN
OFFICIAL POSITION ON A. B. NINE
THIRTY EIGHT WHICH IS THE BILL
THAT WITH- ESTABLISHED A LONG
TERM TARGETS BUT WHAT I CAN
SPEAK TO IS JUST. YOU KNOW
ASSUMING THAT THE COST OF LIVING
PROJECTIONS THAT WE HAD AS OF
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET WHICH ARE
PRETTY SIMILAR TO THE MAY
REVISION. DEPENDING UPON WHETHER
YOU INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE- THE COST
OF LIVING ADJUSTMENTS IN MEETING
THOSE TARGETS- THE RANGE OF COST
OF THAT BILL LONG TERM COULD BE
SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF
YOU KNOW OVER NINE BILLION
DOLLARS TO UPWARDS OF. YOU KNOW
THIRTY PLUS BILLION DOLLARS
DEPENDING ON WHETHER YOU EXCLUDE
OR INCLUDE OR AND EXCLUDE THE
THAT COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT
SO CERTAINLY- THERE ARE
SIGNIFICANT FISCAL RAMIFICATIONS
ASSOCIATED WITH THAT BILL THE
WORK OR FISCAL PRESSURES CREATED
FOR THE STATE- IN THAT BILL- SO
I CAN'T SAVE YOU KNOW WHAT OUR
POSITION IS OFFICIALLY BECAUSE
WE DON'T HAVE ONE. BUT THEY CAN
SPEAK TO YOU KNOW WHAT WE THINK
THOSE COSTS WOULD BE LONG TERM-
SO CERTAINLY THAT'S SOMETHING-
THAT THE- YOU KNOW LEGISLATURE
IN THE COMMITTEES WOULD NEED TO
CONSIDER. ALL RIGHT THANK YOU I
WOULD JUST ASK A- THAT THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE TO. CONSIDER
THAT- YOU KNOW FUNDING TARGETS
THERE THERE ARE NOT ONLY. REAL
BUT THEY HAVE ACTUALLY. BEEN
SUCCESSFUL IN THE PAST AND THAT
I HOPE. THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE
WILL CONSIDER. THEM AS WE MOVE
FORWARD TO ADDRESS ONE OF THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGES FACING OUR
OUR SCHOOLS THANK YOU VERY MUCH
MISTER CHAIR. THANK YOU MS RAMOS
. THANK YOU MR CHAIRPERSON WHILE
ONE UP IT'S MORE OF A COMMENT I
WANT TO THANK THE BUDGET
COMMITTEE. CHAIRS AND
SUBCOMMITTEE CHAIRS- FOR
BRINGING. ALL OF THIS HARD WORK
TOGETHER AS WELL AS THE-
ASSEMBLY BUDGET- COMMITTEE AND
CONSULTANTS THAT ARE THERE AS
WELL AS ADMINISTRATION WE KNOW
THE HARD WORK THAT IS COMING TO
GET US TO THIS POINT. AND WE
KNOW THAT THERE'S HARD WORK
STILL AHEAD OF US TO. WORK ON
SOME OF THE ISSUES. BUT AN AREA
THAT I WANTED TO POINT OUT IS
THE FEDERAL ISSUE THE FAT NOW
THE CONTINUES TO POISON- ARE
YOU. AND THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY
AND WORKING WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION AND WITH- THE
LEGISLATIVE. BODY HERE TODAY
WE'VE MOVED PIECES OF
LEGISLATION FORWARD IN PRIOR
YEARS THAT THE GOVERNOR. HAS
SIGNED SO WE KNOW THAT IT'S
SOMETHING THAT HE CONTINUES TO.
BE AWARE OF AND ADDING SUPPORT
TO. ARM THERE IS THE YOUTH THAT
HAVE CAME AND PUSHED A BILL AB
FOUR SIXTY ONE. THAT DEALS WITH
TEST STRIPS- WITHIN OUR
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND CAL STATE
UNIVERSITY'S. THAT CONTINUES TO
MOVE FORWARD I'M HAPPY TO SEE
THAT. THERE IS ALLOCATION IN THE
BUDGET TO FURTHER THAT DIALOGUE-
TO MAKE SURE. THAT WE'RE MOVING
FORWARD ON PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
TO MAKE SURE THAT WERE
PREVENTING. THOSE THAT SUCCUMB
TO FAT NO OVERDOSES AND MAKING
SURE THAT THAT'S NOT GETTING
INTO THE HANDS OF THOSE MOVING
FORWARD IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. SO BE MORE
PREVENTIVE WITH THOSE MEASURES
AND MAKING SURE THAT THOSE
DOLLARS ARE THERE SOMETHING THAT
WE DEEPLY APPRECIATE. WE KNOW
THAT THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT
STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE. BUT THIS
IS MORE OF A COMMENT- SAYING
THAT WE'RE ALL WORKING TOGETHER
TO ENSURE. THAT WE'RE PROTECTING
BRING IT BRING PREVENTIVE
MEASURES AGAINST THIS POISON
THAT IS AFFECTING ALL OF OUR
CHILDREN AND ALL OF THOSE IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND I WANTED
TO- BRING THAT TO LIGHT. AND TO
SHARE THAT WE ALL ARE CURRENTLY
WORKING ON THAT PROP ON THOSE
PROBLEMS TOGETHER. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR. THANK I JUST
LOOKING AT THE CAN ANY OTHER.
QUESTIONS BEFORE I THE BILL GOT
OF MY OWN. IF NOTHING I JUST GO
BACK TO THE FINANCE GOING ALONG
THE LINES OF OUR ON. A SECURE
BONTA IS- QUESTIONS REGARDING
THE- NECESSARY BUFFER WITHIN
OUR- PRISON SYSTEM- YOU KNOW IN
YEARS PAST. IT WAS PRESENTED TO
US THAT THE DEPARTMENT NEEDED.
YOU KNOW A THOUSAND OR TWO
THOUSAND- DEAD BUFFER- WITH THE
TYPICAL PRISON BEING THREE
THOUSAND TO FOUR THOUSAND
BALLOTS. WE HAVE ABOUT FOURTEEN
THOUSAND EMPTY BEDS. IN OUR
SYSTEM I BELIEVE. SO WHAT'S THE
- WHAT'S THE REASONING. BEHIND
CONTINUE TO OPERATE THOSE
FOURTEEN THOUSAND BEDS IF
THEY'RE OCCUPIED MEANING-
KEEPING STAFFING LEVELS. AT THE
SAME LEVEL AND- CONTINUE TO.
SPEND MONEY ON THE DEPARTMENT
THAT WAYS RATHER THAN. SHUTTING
DOWN YARDS IF YOU AS YOU
PROPOSED ANOTHER FACILITIES THAT
THIS BUDGET. AM I WILL SPEAK TO
A COUPLE OF ISSUES I'M CERTAINLY
NOT THE EXPERT BECAUSE I'M NOT
THE DEPARTMENT THAT OPERATE
THESE FACILITIES ON A DAILY
BASIS BUT I THINK. IT DOES GET
COMPLICATED WE'RE MEASURING
AGAINST A COURT ORDER POPULATION
CAP OF ONE THIRTY SEVEN POINT
FIVE SO WHEN YOU CALCULATE THAT
FOURTEEN THOUSAND EMPTY BEDS IT
IS BASED ON THAT THAT POPULATION
CAP SO. I'M WE HAVE MUCH FEWER
ACTUAL BEDS IN OUR PRISON SYSTEM
I'M AT ANY GIVEN TIME THERE ARE
NUMBER OF BEDS OFFLINE- I THINK
OUR RECENT COUNT WAS ROUGHLY
ABOUT THIRTEEN HUNDRED BEDS.
OFFLINE FOR VARIOUS REASONS
REASONS FOR CONSTRUCTION I'M- I
VARIOUS CHANGES I THINK THAT ARE
HAPPENING IN THE PRISON SYSTEM
WE WERE ACTUALLY DURING HOPE IT
WE WERE VERY GRATEFUL FOR HAVING
THAT FLEXIBILITY. AND BECAUSE WE
WERE ABLE TO ISOLATE- ARE
INCARCERATED POPULATION TO
ADDRESS THOSE HEALTH CARE NEEDS.
I'M AND THEN EVEN IN JANUARY
WHEN SACRAMENTO AT COUNTY FACED
ISSUES IN- ONE OF THEIR
FACILITIES WE WERE ABLE TO
ACCOMMODATE ABOUT SEVEN HUNDRED
FIFTY INMATES ARE IN OUR- IN OUR
PRISON SYSTEM SO. I'M I'M NOT
I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT FOURTEEN
THOUSAND BEDS IS A REASONABLE
NUMBER TO BE KEEP. TO BE KEPT
OPEN ON BUT I THINK THAT THERE
ARE A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS THAT
NEED TO TAKE PLACE BEFORE WE CAN
COMMIT TO ANY. SPECIFIC NUMBER
ONE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ONE
THOUSAND IN TWO THOUSAND FROM A
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE THAT WAS
BEFORE WELL BEFORE ARE MUCH A
LONG TIME AGO AND WE REALLY HAD
I'M A DEMANDS ON OUR BEDS AND
THE POPULATION CAP WAS. BEFORE
US SO IT WAS A COMPLICATED AT.
DECISION MAKING PROCESS THAN. I
WOULD DISAGREE WITH THE
CHARACTERS OF THE THAT. ONE
THOUSAND TO TWO. BAD CUSHION-
PROBABLY TO. OF THE LAST- TWO
YEARS. PRIOR TO- YOU KNOW PRIOR
AND DURING THE CALL THAT SO THIS
. A NEW FIFTH NOT AN FIGURE LIKE
. UP LIFETIME IT'S- IN DURING MY
TO HERE. ON WHAT PERCENT ARE AT
NOW. IN TERMS OF MENTIONED THE
ONE FOR SEVEN FIVE K. HOW CLOSE
ARE WE- BECAUSE BY MY MATH WE'VE
BEEN RELEASING- MORE PEOPLE
WE'VE ONLY CLOSED TWO
FACILITIES- SO. THAT TWO
THOUSAND BED. CUSHION SHOULD BE
EVEN SMALLER FIVE L. L. COMMON
APPEAR WANTING TO. ANSWER THAT
THANK YOU. YOUR SUPPORT
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST OFFICE I
DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER THAT
WE ARE. BELOW ONE THIRTY SEVEN
POINT FIVE BUT IT IS IMPORTANT
TO NOTE THAT THE FOURTEEN
THOUSAND EMPTY BEDS A NUMBER
THAT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT
PUTS US WELL WELL BELOW THE- THE
LIMIT THAT FACTORS AND- ON ONE
HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN POINT FIVE.
CAP SO THIS IS OF FAR FAR AWAY
FROM WHAT THE TYPICAL WHAT THE
TYPICAL BUFFER WAS WHICH WAS
AROUND A THOUSAND OR TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED. LIKE WHEN
YOU'RE TALKING FAR FAR WHERE WE
TALK LIKE PETER PAN FAR AWAY ARE
WE TALKING. LIKE WELL WHAT ARE
YOU TALKING TO ME WHAT THE HOW
MANY THOUSANDS OF BEDS ARE WAY
FAR AWAY. SO I MADE THAT WHERE
ABOUT OVER FOURTEEN ABOUT
FOURTEEN THOUSAND BEDS AWAY FROM
THE CAP THAT'S WHEN WE CALCULATE
THE NUMBER OF EMPTY BEDS WE TAKE
INTO ACCOUNT THE THAT THE CAP.
ANYTHING FROM EIGHTY P.
PERSPECTIVE LOOKING AT THE
NUMBER IT LOOKS LIKE OUR ANALYST
ADULT DAY POPULATIONS ARE AT YES
SORRY AT AN ADULT AVERAGE DAILY
POPULATION I APPRECIATE THAT
THANK YOU I'M A HUNDRED TEN
PERCENT- IN THIS CURRENT FISCAL
YEAR IS WHAT WE EXPECT. TO BE
