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.

The Legislature finds that counties are faced with critical revenue shortages and a need for additional revenue sources to provide basic and essential public services. The Legislature finds that counties own property which, if permitted to be developed by a joint venture agreement between private enterprise and commercial, industrial, and cultural uses, would provide a means to produce additional revenue sources for the benefit of the counties owning such property, and aid the economic well-being of the state generally. The Legislature further finds that due to reductions in personnel or programs counties own or lease properties which are totally or partially vacant but which could be used by compatible private persons, firms or corporations through lease arrangements or joint venture developments which would generate revenue. Therefore, the Legislature finds that the provisions for residential, commercial, industrial, and cultural development of public property owned by counties constitutes a valid public purpose.

(a) In counties having a population of 1,000,000 or more, based on the most recent estimate by the demographic research unit of the Department of Finance, the board of supervisors may prescribe by ordinance a procedure alternative to that required by Sections 25520 to 25535, inclusive. The ordinance may designate a county officer or department head to sell any real property of an estimated value of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) or less belonging to the county. (b) Any alternative procedure shall require that the board of supervisors adopt and cause to be published pursuant to Section 6061.3, a resolution of its intention to sell the property. The resolution shall describe the property to be sold in an identifiable manner; specify the minimum price and the terms upon which it will be sold; the date on which it will be sold, which shall be not less than seven days following the completion of publication; fix the place at which sealed proposals to purchase will be received; and fix the time and place where the proposals will be opened and declared and oral bids received. In addition, the board may purchase advertising space and may advertise the proposed sale or lease of the property in any newspapers, magazines, and other periodicals to publicize the sale or lease to those persons most likely to bid for, purchase, or lease the property. (c) At the time and place fixed for the opening of bids the county officer or department head may accept the highest bid, written or oral, or, if he or she deems the action to be for the best public interest, he or she may reject any and all bids, either written or oral, and withdraw the property from sale. No oral bid shall be accepted unless it is made by a responsible person and exceeds by at least 5 percent the highest written proposal made by a responsible person. (d) The alternative procedure may provide that in the event that no written or oral proposal is made which is equal to or greater than the minimum price fixed in the resolution, then for a period of one year following the date of the resolution, or until the board of supervisors revokes its authority, the county officer or department head shall have the authority to negotiate a sale, subject to final acceptance by the board of supervisors, of the real property to any person for not less than the minimum price fixed by the resolution. The alternative procedure may also provide that until the final acceptance occurs, the county officer or department head may lease the real property by direct negotiation on behalf of the county on a month-to-month tenancy, but in no event for more than 12 months, without first obtaining the approval of the board of supervisors.

Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of law, whenever the board of supervisors determines that any real property or interest therein owned, or to be purchased, by the county can be used to provide housing affordable to persons and families of low or moderate income, as defined by Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code or as defined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development or its successors, and that this use is in the county’s best interests, the county may sell, lease, exchange, quitclaim, convey, or otherwise dispose of the real property or interest therein at less than fair market value, or purchase an interest in the real property, to provide that affordable housing without complying with other provisions of this article.

(d) Dwelling units produced for persons and families of low or moderate income under this section shall be restricted by regulatory agreement to remain continually affordable to those persons and families for the longest feasible time, but not less than 30 years, pursuant to a method prescribed by the county. (e) The regulatory agreement shall contain a provision making the covenants and conditions of the agreement binding upon successors in interest of the housing sponsor. The regulatory agreement shall be recorded in the office of the county recorder of the county in which the housing development is located. The regulatory agreement shall be recorded in the grantor-grantee index to the name of the property owner as grantor and to the name of the county as grantee. (f) The definitions of “persons and families of low and moderate income,” “lower income households,” and “very low income households” set forth in Sections 50079.5, 50093, and 50105 of the Health and Safety Code shall apply to this section.

If a lease is entered into without competitive bidding, the actual monthly rental in the executed lease shall not exceed eight hundred dollars ($800), and the lease shall be renewable by the lessee for at least one additional term. (b) The Legislature finds that unique and special circumstances exist in Santa Barbara County for which a general statute cannot be made applicable. In Santa Barbara County, dwellings are located on county parcels which are used to provide public services. The Legislature further finds and declares that the dwellings were once used for employee housing. The need for employee housing in such dwellings has ceased, while the parcels on which they are located are still needed for public service. Therefore, the Legislature finds and declares that conditions are such that a lot split or subdivision of the dwelling from the parcels is impractical. (Added by Stats. 1982, Ch. 358, Sec. 1.)

(a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) There are ongoing discharges to the Los Osos Discharge Prohibition Zone established in the Water Quality Control Plan for the Central Coast Basin. (2) The agency responsible for eliminating these discharges is the Los Osos Community Services District, which is a relatively new agency, formed in 1998. (3) The Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board has imposed substantial fines on the Los Osos Community Services District for failing to make adequate progress toward eliminating these discharges. (4) The Los Osos Community Services District has a relatively small staff that has no experience of successfully designing and constructing facilities of the size and type needed to eliminate these discharges. (5) The County of San Luis Obispo has a larger staff that has experience in successfully designing large public works projects. (6) There is an urgent need to protect the public health and safety by eliminating these discharges and the most feasible alternative is best accomplished by a temporary realignment of certain wastewater collection and treatment powers between the Los Osos Community Services District and the County of San Luis Obispo. (7) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section and amending Section 61105 to authorize the County of San Luis Obispo to design, construct, and operate a wastewater collection and treatment project that will eliminate these discharges, particularly in the prohibition zone, to avoid a wasteful duplication of effort and funds, and to temporarily prohibit the Los Osos Community Services District from exercising those powers. (b) As used in this section, the following definitions apply: (1) “Board” means the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Luis Obispo. (2) “County” means the County of San Luis Obispo. (3) “District” means the Los Osos Community Services District, formed pursuant to the Community Services District Law (Division 3 (commencing with Section 61000) of Title 6) located in San Luis Obispo County. (4) “Prohibition zone” means that territory within the Baywood Park-Los Osos area of the county that is subject to the wastewater discharge prohibition imposed by the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board pursuant to Resolution 83-13. (c) The county may undertake any efforts necessary to construct and operate a community wastewater collection and treatment system to meet the wastewater collection and treatment needs within the district. These efforts may include programs and projects for recharging aquifers, preventing saltwater intrusion, and managing groundwater resources to the extent that they are related to the construction and operation of the community wastewater collection and treatment system. These efforts shall include any services that the county deems necessary, including, but not limited to, any planning, design, engineering, financial analysis, pursuit of grants to mitigate affordability issues, administrative support, project management, and environmental review and compliance services. The county shall not exercise any powers authorized by this section outside the district. (d) Nothing in this section shall affect the district’s power to do any of the following: (1) Operate wastewater collection and treatment facilities within the district that the district was operating on January 1, 2006. (2) Provide facilities and services, other than wastewater collection and treatment. (e) To finance the construction and operation of a wastewater collection and treatment system, the county may levy benefit assessments consistent with the requirements of Article XIII D of the California Constitution, pursuant to any of the following: (1) The Improvement Act of 1911 (Division 7 (commencing with Section 5000) of the Streets and Highways Code). (2) The Improvement Bond Act of 1915 (Division 10 (commencing with Section 8500) of the Streets and Highways Code). (3) The Municipal Improvement Act of 1913 (Division 12 (commencing with Section 10000) of the Streets and Highways Code). (f) The county may charge standby charges for sewer services, consistent with the requirements of Article XIII D of the California Constitution, pursuant to the Uniform Standby Charge Procedures Act (Chapter 12.4 (commencing with Section 54984) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5). (g) The county may develop a program to offset assessments, standby charges, or user fees and charges that are authorized pursuant to subdivisions (e), (f), and (h) for very low or low-income households with funding sources, including, but not limited to, grants, principal forgiveness, and noncounty funds from low-interest loans approved for the project by the State Water Resources Control Board or the United States Department of Agriculture. The county shall not include in an assessment or charge an amount to cover the costs to the county in carrying out this subdivision. (h) The county may impose and collect user fees and charges and any other sources of revenue permitted by law sufficient to cover the reasonable costs of any wastewater collection or treatment services provided pursuant to this section. (i) Promptly upon the adoption of a resolution by the board requesting this action, the board of directors of the district shall convey to the county any requested retained rights-of-way, licenses, funds, and permits previously acquired by the district in connection with construction projects for which the district awarded contracts in 2005. The county shall use those fee interests, rights-of-way, licenses, and funds for the purpose of furthering the construction and operation of a wastewater collection and treatment system pursuant to this section. (j) After the approval of a benefit assessment, the board shall complete a due diligence review before deciding to proceed with the construction and operation of a wastewater collection and treatment system. The board shall consider any relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the prompt availability of reasonable and sufficient financing, the status of enforcement actions, the successful development of reasonable project technology and location options, the availability of any necessary permits and other approvals, and the absence of other significant impediments. At the completion of this due diligence review, the board shall adopt a resolution declaring its intention to proceed or not proceed with the construction and operation of the wastewater collection and treatment system. (k) Collection of assessments may not commence until the adoption of the resolution to proceed pursuant to subdivision (i). (l) The county shall have no power or responsibility to construct and operate a wastewater collection and treatment system pursuant to this section and the district shall resume that power and responsibility when any of the following occurs: (1) If the board adopts a resolution not to hold a benefit assessment election pursuant to subdivision (e). (2) If there is a majority protest to a benefit assessment proposed by the county, on the date of the resolution adopted by the board determining that the majority protest exists. (3) If there is not a majority protest, but the board adopts a resolution, pursuant to subdivision (i), which declares that the county will no longer exercise its powers pursuant to this section, on the date specified in the board’s resolution. (4) If the county constructs and operates a wastewater collection and treatment system pursuant to this section, not less than three years after the operation of the system commences, the board and the board of directors of the district shall mutually apply to the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board for a modification of the waste discharge permit, requesting permission to transfer responsibility to operate the wastewater collection and treatment system from the county to the district. Consistent with that modification, the board shall adopt a resolution that specifies the date on which the county will no longer exercise its powers pursuant to this section. (m) When the power and responsibility to construct and operate a wastewater collection and treatment system transfers from the county to the district pursuant to subdivision (k), the county shall do all of the following: (1) Promptly convey to the district any remaining retained fee interests in any real property, rights-of-way, licenses, other interests in real property, funds, and other personal property that the county previously acquired pursuant to subdivision (h). (2) Promptly convey to the district the wastewater collection and treatment system that the county constructed pursuant to this section. (3) Continue to collect any necessary assessments and use them to repay any indebtedness incurred by the county to finance the construction of the wastewater collection and treatment system pursuant to this section. (4) The county shall cease collecting any benefit assessments after repayment of any indebtedness incurred by the county to finance the construction of the wastewater collection and treatment system. (n) Nothing in this section shall be construed as imposing upon the county any liability for any district decisions or actions, or failures to act, or imposing upon the county any liability for any decisions or actions, or failures to act, by any district officers, employees, or agents. In addition, nothing in this section shall be construed as imposing upon the county any liability for any prior or subsequent district liabilities, whether liquidated or contingent, or any prior or subsequent liabilities of district officers, employees, or agents, whether liquidated or contingent.

If services are provided, or arranged for, by a county pursuant to Section 25827, or pursuant to Section 40059 of the Public Resources Code, and the service is compulsory or provided at the request of the property owner, the cost of service that remains unpaid for a period of 60 or more days after the close of the period for which it was billed may be collected by the county as provided in this section. (a) At least once a year, the board of supervisors shall cause to be prepared a report of delinquent charges. Upon receipt of the report, the board shall fix a time, date, and place for hearing the report and any protests or objections to the report. (b) The board shall cause notice of the hearing to be mailed to the owners of property listed on the report not less than 10 days prior to the date of the hearing. (c) At the hearing, the board shall hear any objections or protests of property owners liable to be assessed for delinquent charges. The board may make revisions or corrections to the report as it deems just, after which, by resolution, the report shall be confirmed. (d) The delinquent charges set forth in the report as confirmed shall constitute special assessments against the respective parcels of land and are a lien on the property for the amount of the delinquent charges. A certified copy of the confirmed report shall be filed with the county auditor, on or before August 10, for the amounts of the respective assessments against the respective parcels of land as they appear on the current assessment roll. The lien created attaches upon recordation in the office of the county recorder of the county in which the property is situated of a certified copy of the resolution of confirmation. The assessment may be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary county ad valorem taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for those taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection, and enforcement of county ad valorem taxes shall be applicable to the assessment, except that if any real property to which the lien would attach has been transferred or conveyed to a bona fide purchaser for value, or if a lien of a bona fide encumbrancer for value has been created and attaches thereon, prior to the date on which the first installment of the taxes would become delinquent, then the lien that would otherwise be imposed by this section shall not attach to the real property and the delinquent charges, as confirmed, relating to the property shall be transferred to the unsecured roll for collection. (Amended by Stats. 2005, Ch. 564, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2006.)
