Statute overview

About this statute

This section defines key terms used in the CalSavers retirement savings title. This section creates the CalSavers Retirement Savings Board and sets rules for how the board, program administrator, and staff must operate. This section creates the CalSavers Retirement Savings Trust, assigns the board to administer it, requires the board to split trust money into a program fund and an administrative fund, and gives the Treasurer and the board investment-related powers. It also caps administrative fund spending at 1% of the total program fund after six years from implementation and exempts certain securities from specified Corporations Code sections. The CalSavers Retirement Savings Program must include one or more payroll deduction IRA arrangements, as determined by the board. The board has broad authority over the trust, including contracts, investments, staff, insurance, cooperation, and rulemaking.

(a) Except as provided in subdivision (c), within 15 days after the passage of an ordinance it shall be published once, with the names of the members voting for and against the ordinance, in a newspaper published in the county if there is one, and if there is no newspaper published in the county, the ordinance shall be posted in a prominent location at the board of supervisors’ chambers within the 15-day period and remain posted thereafter for at least one week. The local agency, at its option, may include in an ordinance reclassifying land either a brief description accompanied by a map of the boundaries of the property, as recited in the notice of hearing, or a complete metes and bounds description accompanied by a map depicting the reclassified property and adjacent properties. Except for maps, any exhibit attached to and incorporated by reference in an ordinance need not be published in its entirety if the publication lists all those exhibits by title or description and includes a notation that a complete copy of each exhibit is on file with the clerk of the board of supervisors and is available for public inspection and copying in that office in accordance with the California Public Records Act, Division 10 (commencing with Section 7920.000) of Title 1. A certificate of the clerk of the board of supervisors or order entered in the minutes of the board that the ordinance has been duly published or posted is prima facie proof of the publication or posting. (b) The publication or posting of ordinances, as required by subdivision (a), may be satisfied by either of the following actions: (1) The county board of supervisors may publish a summary of a proposed ordinance or proposed amendment to an existing ordinance. The summary shall be prepared by an official designated by the board of supervisors. A summary shall be published and a certified copy of the full text of the proposed ordinance or proposed amendment shall be made available to the public upon request by the clerk of the legislative body at least five days prior to the board of supervisors meeting at which the proposed ordinance or amendment or alteration thereto is to be adopted. The clerk also shall either post a copy of the full text of the ordinance or amendment on the county’s internet website or post a certified copy of the full text in the office of the clerk five days prior to the board of supervisors meeting at which the proposed ordinance or amendment or alteration is to be adopted. Within 15 days after adoption of the ordinance or amendment, the board of supervisors shall publish a summary of the ordinance or amendment with the names of those supervisors voting for and against the matter and the clerk shall make available to the public, upon request, a certified copy of the full text of the adopted ordinance or amendment along with the names of those supervisors voting for and against the ordinance or amendment. The clerk of the board of supervisors shall also either post a copy of the full text of the ordinance or amendment and the names of those supervisors voting for and against the ordinance or amendment on the county’s internet website or shall post in the office of the clerk of the board of supervisors a certified copy of the full text of the ordinance or amendment along with the vote information specified in this paragraph. (2) If the county official designated by the board of supervisors determines that it is not feasible to prepare a fair and adequate summary of the proposed or adopted ordinance or amendment, and if the board of supervisors so orders, a display advertisement of at least one-quarter of a page in a newspaper of general circulation in the county shall be published at least five days prior to the board of supervisors meeting at which the proposed ordinance or amendment or alteration thereto is to be adopted. Within 15 days after adoption of the ordinance or amendment, a display advertisement of at least one-quarter of a page shall be published. The advertisement shall indicate the general nature of, and provide information about, the proposed or adopted ordinance or amendment, including information sufficient to enable the public to obtain copies of the complete text of the ordinance or amendment, and the names of those supervisors voting for and against the ordinance or amendment. (c) If the clerk of the board of supervisors fails to publish an ordinance within 15 days after the date of adoption, the ordinance shall not take effect until 30 days after the date of publication.

Optional Services and Enhanced Services Provided to the Public [25330 - 25338] ( Article 1 added by Stats. 1992, Ch. 787, Sec. 1. ) ## 25330. The Legislature finds that counties are faced with critical revenue shortages and a need to provide and maintain vital public services that the public wants and needs. The Legislature finds that many counties have employees who possess expertise, education, and training that enables these employees to be considered experts within their respective areas of service to the public. The Legislature finds that counties which employ these individuals, if permitted to contract with the public to share their employees’ expertise, could receive additional revenue sources for the benefit of the county employing these individuals, and aid the economic well-being of the state generally. The Legislature finds that counties currently provide many services efficiently and effectively, and by increasing or enhancing these services to the public, would further increase the utilization of existing resources and staff, and may, in some instances, permit reducing the counties’ cost per unit of providing services to the public. Therefore, the Legislature finds that permitting counties to provide optional services and enhanced services that the public wants, needs, and will hire serves a valid public purpose.

(2) In the event that, for any reason, the funds otherwise available to the county will not be sufficient to make any payment under the financing agreement at the time that payment is required, the county shall so notify the trustee. The trustee shall immediately communicate that information to the affected holders of certificates of participation or bondholders, and to the Controller. (3) When the Controller receives notice from the trustee as described in paragraph (2), or the county fails to make any payment under the financing agreement at the time that payment is required, the Controller shall make an apportionment to the trustee in the amount of that required payment for the purpose of making that payment. The Controller shall make that payment only from funds received from the county auditor pursuant to paragraph (4). (4) If either of the circumstances set forth in paragraphs (2) and (3) occur, the county shall immediately notify the county auditor and deliver to the county auditor a duly certified copy of the resolution of the board of supervisors adopted pursuant to Section 29530.5. The county auditor shall reduce the vehicle license fee adjustment amount set forth in Section 97.70 of the Revenue and Taxation Code and transmit those funds to the Controller to the extent necessary to make the payments required by paragraphs (2) and (3). (5) As an alternate to the procedure set forth in paragraphs (2) and (3), the board of supervisors may provide a transfer schedule in a notice to the Controller of its election to participate under this section. The transfer schedule shall set forth amounts to be transferred to the trustee and the date or dates for the transfers and the Controller shall, subject to the limitation in the second sentence of paragraph (3), make apportionments to the trustee in those amounts on the specified date or dates for the purpose of making those transfers. (6) In the event that for any reason, the county is no longer obligated for any period to make all or a portion of the payments with respect to the lease or lease-purchase financed through the execution and delivery, or issuance, as the case may be, of certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds, the trustee shall notify the affected holders of certificates of participation or bondholders. The trustee shall also notify the Controller. Upon receipt of the notification, the Controller shall cease making the transfers. If after giving notice, the obligation of the county to make payments with respect to a lease or lease-purchase financed through the execution and delivery or issuance, as the case may be, of certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds is restored, the trustee shall so notify the affected holders of certificates of participation or bondholders and the Controller. Upon receipt of the notification, the Controller shall resume making the transfers. (b) This section shall not be construed to obligate the State of California to make any payment to a county from the Motor Vehicle License Fee Account in the Transportation Tax Fund in any amount or pursuant to any particular allocation formula, or to make any other payment to a county, including, but not limited to, any payment in satisfaction of any debt or liability incurred or guaranteed by a county in accordance with this section.

(a) Prior to entering into an agreement to finance the lease or lease-purchase of property through the execution and delivery or issuance, as the case may be, of certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds, the board of supervisors of the County of Orange may elect, by resolution, to guarantee payment under that financing agreement in accordance with the following: (1) If the county elects to participate under this section, it shall provide notice to the Controller of that election, and the notice shall include a schedule for the payments to be made by the county under that financing agreement and identify a trustee appointed by the county for the purpose of this section. (2) In the event that, for any reason, the funds available to the county will not be sufficient to make any payment under the financing agreement at the time that payment is required, the county shall so notify the trustee and deliver to the Controller a duly certified copy of the resolution of its board of supervisors adopted pursuant to Section 29530.5.

(3) When the Controller receives notice from the trustee, and a copy of the resolution from the county, as described in paragraph (2), or, after having adopted the resolution specified in paragraph (2), the county fails to make any payment under the financing agreement at the time that payment is required, the Controller shall make an apportionment to the trustee in the amount of that required payment for the purpose of making that payment. The Controller shall make that payment only from moneys to be transmitted to the county by the State Board of Equalization under Section 7204 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, that are derived from that portion of the sales and use taxes imposed by the county in excess of 1 percent, pursuant to Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 7200) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, and that are permitted to be deposited in the general fund of the county pursuant to Section 29530.5. The Controller shall thereupon reduce, by the amount of the payment, the subsequent amounts to which the county would be entitled under that section. (b) As an alternative to the procedure set forth in paragraphs (2) and (3) of subdivision (a), the board of supervisors may, on or after the date of adoption by the board of the resolution specified in Section 29530.5, provide a transfer schedule in a notice to the Controller of its election to participate under this section. The transfer schedule shall set forth the amounts to be transferred to the trustee and the date or dates for the transfers, and the Controller shall, subject to the limitations in the second and third sentences of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a), make apportionments to the trustee in those amounts on the specified date or dates for the purpose of making those transfers. (c) In the event that, for any reason, the county is no longer obligated, for any period, to make all or a portion of the payments with respect to the lease or lease-purchase financed through the execution and delivery or issuance, as the case may be, of certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds, the trustee shall so notify the affected holders of certificates of participation or bondholders and the Controller. Upon receipt of the notification, the Controller shall cease making the transfers. If, after the giving of the notice, the obligation of the county to make payments with respect to the lease or lease-purchase financed through the execution and delivery or issuance of certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds is restored, the trustee shall so notify the affected holders of certificates of participation or bondholders and the Controller. Upon receipt of the notification, the Controller shall resume making the transfers. (d) Any election made by the county pursuant to this section shall be in addition to any other election made by the county pursuant to any other applicable provision of law to guarantee the obligation of the county to make payments with respect to the lease or lease-purchase of property financed through the certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds.

(a) Prior to entering into an agreement to finance the lease or lease-purchase of property through the execution and delivery or issuance, as the case may be, of certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds, or at any time with respect to a financing agreement with respect to which an election has been made under Section 25350.9, the board of supervisors of a county of the second class may elect, by resolution, to guarantee payment under that financing agreement in accordance with the following: (1) If a county elects to participate under this section, it shall provide notice to the Controller of that election, and the notice shall include a schedule for the payments to be made by the county under that financing agreement and identify a trustee appointed by the county for the purpose of this section. (2) In the event that, for any reason, the funds available to the county will not be sufficient to make any payment under the financing agreement at the time that payment is required, the county shall so notify the trustee. The trustee shall immediately communicate that information to the affected holders of certificates of participation or bondholders and to the Controller. (3) When the Controller receives notice from the trustee as specified in paragraph (2) or the county fails to make any payment under the financing agreement at the time that payment is required, the Controller shall make an apportionment to the trustee in the amount of that required payment for the purpose of making that payment. The Controller shall make that payment only from moneys to be transmitted to the county by the State Board of Equalization under Section 7204 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, that are derived from that portion of the sales and use taxes imposed by the county pursuant to Part 1.5 (commencing with Section 7200) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, other than the portion of the taxes described in Section 29530.6, and shall thereupon reduce, by the amount of the payment, the subsequent amounts to which the county would be entitled under that section. (b) As an alternative to the procedure set forth in paragraphs (2) and (3) of subdivision (a), the board of supervisors of a county may provide a transfer schedule in a notice to the Controller and the State Board of Equalization of its election to participate under this section.

(c) If the county is no longer obligated for any period to make all or a portion of the payments with respect to the lease or lease-purchase financed through the execution and delivery or issuance, as the case may be, of certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds, the trustee shall so notify the affected holders of certificates of participation or bondholders, the Controller, and the State Board of Equalization.

If after the giving of the notice, the obligation of the county to make payments with respect to the lease or lease-purchase financed through the execution and delivery or issuance of certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds is restored, the trustee shall so notify the affected holders of certificates of participation or bondholders, the Controller, and the State Board of Equalization.
