to protect public funds by encouraging employees, contractors, or agents to disclose to the government

informants from retaliation. The CFCA establishes liability to the state for persons will commit certain
enumerated acts related to false claims submitted to the state. It provides for treble damages and civil
penalties, contains a qui tam provision, and whistleblower protections. This bill clarifies existing law with
regard to the CFCA and expands the provisions of the CFCA to claims, records, or statements made under
the Revenues and Taxation Code if specified conditions are met. This bill is sponsored by the California
Attorney General. Opposition is from the California Retailers Association, California Chamber of
Commerce, and other business organizations.

Motion to SUPPORT unless amended.

5. Reports:
Featured Speaker- Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco:
Police Chief Chad Bianco presented a complete back ground on his vision for policing during his first eight months
on the job. Police Chief Chad Bianco opened a program by stating that nothing coming out of Sacramento is
benefiting the Sherriff Department but is handicapping their ability to protect you. With the advent of 4757
Legislation many crimes have been declassified to misdemeanors status. Sacramento claims that crime is going
down when in fact crimes have increased do the Legislation and by not counting the misdemeanors. Police Chief
Chad Bianco vision is to added the quality of life issues unique to each community as such there are common
issues around the county as it relates to homeless, gangs, burglary but in other communities illegal marijuana
grows are predominate. As a result of his new vision the entire administration staff has been replaced. Of the 750
million operating budget for the Sherriff department, 80% is related to staffing. Police Chief Chad Bianco only
limitation is personal not funding. When he took over office he was seriously under staffed. He indicated that
staffing was near borderline failure. He indicated that he does not subscribe to a ratio of 1 deputy per 1,000
residents and that the Riverside County Board of Supervisors set a goal of .75 deputies per 1,000 residents. When
he started the ratio was .41 deputies per 1,000 residents. At the start of his term they were short 265 deputies
and 456 correctional deputies and in the unincorporated areas they had 119 deputies but should have had 300.
So for the foreseeable future the police academy will be maxed out at 88 cadets. In the first 3 months of the year,
they hired more deputies than of all of 2018. Police Chief indicated that the jail is a fiasco and they will be lucky
if it is opened by January 2020.
Unfortunately we did not have time to hear speakers or chambers.
Adjournment: 1:23 pm
Next meeting Monday, September 16, 2019
