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 city may, pursuant to the notice, protest, and hearing procedures in Section 53753, fix, on or before the first day of July in each calendar year, an annual water service standby or immediate availability charge to be applied on an area or frontage or parcel basis, or a combination thereof, within the city to be charged to such areas to which water service is made available for any purpose by the city, whether the water service is actually used or not. If the procedures set forth in this section as it read at the time a standby charge was established were followed, the city council may, by resolution, continue the charge pursuant to this section in successive years at the same rate. If new, increased, or extended assessments are proposed, the city council shall comply with the notice, protest, and hearing procedures in Section 53753. The city council of a city which fixes such a charge may establish schedules varying such charge according to the land uses and the degree of availability or quantity of use of such water service to the affected lands, and may restrict such charge to lands lying within one or more zones or areas of benefits established within such city. The council may not, however, fix a monthly charge in excess of ten dollars ($10) per acre, either on an area or frontage basis, or in excess of five dollars ($5) for a parcel or frontage of less than an acre unless the standby charge is imposed pursuant to the Uniform Standby Charge Procedures Act (Chapter 12.4 (commencing with Section 54984) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5). A city may collect the standby or availability charge by billing the charged lands on a monthly or fiscal year basis. A city may collect the standby or availability charge as a part of the annual general county tax bill provided the city furnishes, on or before August 10, in writing to the board of supervisors and to the county auditor the description of each parcel for which a charge is to be billed together with the amount of the charge applicable to each parcel. The parcel description may be the parcel number assigned by the county assessor to the parcel. If the city collects standby charges through the county general tax bill, the amount of the standby charge and any applicable penalty shall be stated on the tax bill separately from all other taxes, if practicable.

(a) As an alternative to the procedure authorized by Section 38773.1, the legislative body may by ordinance establish a procedure for the abatement of a nuisance and make the cost of abatement of a nuisance upon a parcel of land a special assessment against that parcel. (b) A city may, by ordinance, provide for the recovery of attorneys’ fees in any action, administrative proceeding, or special proceeding to abate a nuisance. If the ordinance provides for the recovery of attorneys’ fees, it shall provide for recovery of attorneys’ fees by the prevailing party, rather than limiting recovery of attorneys’ fees to the city if it prevails. The ordinance may limit recovery of attorneys’ fees by the prevailing party to those individual actions or proceedings in which the city elects, at the initiation of that individual action or proceeding, to seek recovery of its own attorneys’ fees. In no action, administrative proceeding, or special proceeding shall an award of attorneys’ fees to a prevailing party exceed the amount of reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the city in the action or proceeding. (c) Any procedure established pursuant to this section shall include notice, by certified mail, to the property owner, if the property owner’s identity can be determined from the county assessor’s or county recorder’s records. The notice shall be given at the time of imposing the assessment and shall specify that the property may be sold after three years by the tax collector for unpaid delinquent assessments. The tax collector’s power of sale shall not be affected by the failure of the property owner to receive notice. The assessment may be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected, and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary municipal taxes. All laws applicable to the levy, collection and enforcement of municipal taxes shall be applicable to the special assessment. However, if any real property to which the cost of abatement relates 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 cost of abatement shall not result in a lien against the real property but instead shall be transferred to the unsecured roll for collection. (d) A local agency that has imposed an assessment pursuant to this section may, subject to the requirements applicable to the sale of property pursuant to Section 3691 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, conduct a sale of vacant residential developed property for which the payment of that assessment is delinquent. (e) Notices or instruments relating to the abatement proceeding or special assessment shall be entitled to recordation. (Amended by Stats. 1996, Ch. 718, Sec. 2. Effective January 1, 1997.)

A city may, pursuant to the notice, protest, and hearing procedures in Section 53753, fix an annual sewer service standby or immediate availability charge to be applied on an area or frontage or parcel basis, or a combination thereof, within the city to be charged to such areas to which sewer service is made available for any purpose by the city, whether the sewer service is actually used or not. If the procedures set forth in this section as it read at the time a standby charge was established were followed, the city council may, by resolution, continue the charge pursuant to this section in successive years at the same rate. If new, increased, or extended assessments are proposed, the city council shall comply with the notice, protest, and hearing procedures in Section 53753. The city may establish schedules varying such charge according to the land uses and the degree of availability or quantity of use of such sewer service to the affected lands, and may restrict such charge to lands lying within one or more zones or areas of benefits established within such city. The city may collect the standby or availability charge by billing the charged lands on a fiscal year basis or by other means available. The city may collect the standby or availability charge as a part of the annual general county tax bill provided the city furnishes in writing to the board of supervisors and to the county auditor the description of each parcel for which a charge is to be billed together with the amount of the charge applicable to each parcel in sufficient time to meet the schedule established by the county for inclusion of such items on the county general tax bill. The parcel description may be the parcel number assigned by the county assessor to the parcel. In such case, the standby or availability charge shall become a lien against the parcel of land to which it is charged in the same manner as the county general taxes. Penalties may be collected for late payment of the standby or availability charge or the amount thereof unpaid in the manner and at the same rates as that applicable for late payment or the amount thereof unpaid of county general taxes. If the city collects standby charges through the county general tax bill, the amount of the standby charge and any applicable penalty shall be stated on the tax bill separately from all other taxes, if practicable.
