LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

Existing law provides for creation of the North County Transit District, with various powers and duties relative to the planning and operation of a transit system in north San Diego County. Existing law provides for the district to be governed by a board of directors, which consists of one member of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, appointed by the board of supervisors, and one member of each city council of the Cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, Escondido, Oceanside, San Marcos, Solana Beach, and Vista, and each new city that incorporates within the district boundaries, appointed by the respective city council.

This bill would additionally include one nonvoting member on that board who is a member of the City Council of the City of San Diego.

Because this bill would impose new duties on a local agency, the bill would create a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 125050 of the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:

125050.

There is hereby created, in that portion of the County of San Diego as described in Section 125052, the North County Transit District. The district shall be governed by a board of directors. As used in this division, “board” means the board of directors of the district. The board shall consist of members selected as follows:

(a) One member of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors appointed by the board of supervisors, which member shall represent, on the board of supervisors, the largest portion of the area under the jurisdiction of the district.

(b) One member of each of the City Councils of the Cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, Escondido, Oceanside, San Marcos, Solana Beach, and Vista, and each new city that incorporates within the district boundaries, appointed by the respective city council.

(c) One nonvoting member who shall be a member of the City Council of the City of San Diego.

SEC. 2.

If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
