  • A New Legacy System: Using Technology to Drive Performance
    A NEW LEGACY SYSTEM: USING TECHNOLOGY TO DRIVE PERFORMANCE LITTLE HOOVER COMMISSION November 2008 State of California LITTLE HOOVER COMMISSION November 20, 2008 The Honorable Arnold Schwarzenegger Governor of California The Honorable Don Perata The Honorable Dave Cogdill President pro Tempore of the Senate Senate Minority Leader and members of the Senate The Honorable Karen Bass The Honorable Michael Villines Speaker of the Assembly Assembly Minority Leader and members of the Assembly Dear Governor and Members of the Legislature: It is time to get over Oracle. The specter of that lobbying scandal and the fear of repeating it have hurt the state’s ability to develop an overall strategy for information technology projects. It has prevented the state’s leaders from maximizing the use of data from technology projects to measure performance of state programs and to improve them. Worse, it has reinforced the view – even within the state’s leadership – that California “can’t get IT right.” This perception persists despite a string of successful projects and recognition by national experts that California is growing as a technology leader. In the past, the state has focused on technology projects in isolation. The goal must be to use information to gauge progress, change the course of action when appropriate and improve program results. It must propel California forward as a national leader in using technology to improve government. The state’s on-going fiscal crisis only underscores the urgency with which California must move in this direction. More budget cuts are likely, and absent a clear way to determine what is working from what is not, the state is left with the blunt tool of across-the-board cuts, shrinking programs that are producing outcomes the state wants as well as programs that fail to deliver performance.

  • Still Imperiled, Still Important: the Little Hoover Commission's Review of the CALFED Bay-Delta Program (Report #183, Novemb
    State of California LITTLE HOOVER COMMISSION November 17, 2005 The Honorable Arnold Schwarzenegger Governor of California The Honorable Don Perata The Honorable Dick Ackerman President pro Tempore of the Senate Senate Minority Leader and members of the Senate The Honorable Fabian Núñez The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Speaker of the Assembly Assembly Minority Leader and members of the Assembly Dear Governor Schwarzenegger and members of the Legislature: CALFED was forged from a crisis, and to a crisis CALFED has returned. A decade ago, a persistent drought and collapsing fisheries escalated a dispute among state and federal officials over water in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Through the leadership of Governor Pete Wilson and Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt, a settlement was reached and a state- federal plan known as CALFED was crafted for shoring up water supplies and Delta levees, improving water quality and restoring the ecosystem. But the winds of Hurricane Katrina have reached California – blowing out the flicker of confidence that officials had in the ability of Delta levees to withstand earthquakes, rising sea levels and inevitable winter floods. Some $3 billion have been spent trying to fix the Delta. But the Delta smelt that some consider to be the estuary’s coalmine canary are even harder to find than stakeholders who are willing to put up their own money to continue funding CALFED. For years, the “CALFED way” referred to coordinated government, collaborative decision- making and balanced progress that kept adversaries from pursuing unilateral initiatives. To a new generation of officials, CALFED is costly, underperforming, unfocused and unaccountable.

BOX 1810 RANCHO CORDOVA, CA 95741-1810 (916) 464-3711 (Office) (916) 464-4025 (Fax) April 13, 2005 James P. Mayer Executive Director Little Hoover Commission 925 L Street, Suite 805 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear Mr. Mayer: Thank you for the opportunity to testify at the public hearing regarding the Governor’s Reorganization Plan to create a Department of Technology Services. This proposal presents an exciting opportunity for the State of California to enhance its business systems and by so doing, enhance the service that is delivered to its citizens. For many months, key stakeholders have been engaged in the initial preparation and planning for consolidation, including the establishment of advisory committees and working groups. Much work has been done to analyze the three existing organizations and their functions in order to build initial project concepts, plans, and schedules. We look forward to building upon this existing work and executing the remainder of the project. The strategic and historical underpinnings for the consolidation initiative come primarily from the Legislative Analyst Office, California Performance Review recommendations SO 1, SO 2, and SO 3, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s August 24, 2004, Executive Order S-13-04 and the November 2004 California Information Technology Strategic Plan (CAITSP) published by the State Chief Information Officer (CIO). In February 2005, a “Consolidation Approach” document outlining the Project strategy was delivered to key stakeholders including: Executive Sponsors (BTH/HHS/SCS Agency Secretaries, State CIO), the Data Center Consolidation Steering Committee, the Technology Advisory Peer Group, and HHSDC/Teale Directors.

The Little Hoover Commission examined child care in California, focusing on the long-standing competition between the quantity of services available and the quality of services provided. Information was obtained from an advisory committee of over 100 child care experts, from witnesses at two public hearings, numerous studies on child care issues, material gathered from think tanks, and interviews of child care experts. Four major conclusions and recommendations were drawn from the data. First, California lacks and needs an effective strategy to supply the high-quality child care that working families need. The state should adopt a child care master plan to guide its efforts to help families and communities meet child care needs. Second, shortages of licensed child care extend statewide and are especially severe in low-income, rural, and minority communities.
