About this statute

This part is named the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Act and may be cited by that name. The Legislature states that the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority needs broader transportation measures to address traffic congestion and improve roads, highways, and other transportation facilities. The provision says a transit district needs to be established in Santa Clara County. The Santa Clara County Transit District is renamed the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, and existing references to the old name are treated as references to the new name. A municipal corporation that provides broadband Internet access services must comply with the requirements of a specified Government Code article.

Limited tax bonds shall be issued pursuant to a resolution adopted at any time, and from time to time, by the commission by a two-thirds vote of all members of the commission. The commission may from time to time issue bonds in accordance with the Revenue Bond Law of 1941 (Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 54300) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code), for the purposes set forth in the ordinance adopted pursuant to Section 132302, which shall constitute an “enterprise” within the meaning of Section 54309 of the Government Code. Article 3 (commencing with Section 54380) of Chapter 6 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code and the limitations on the rate of interest set forth in subdivision (b) of Section 54402 of the Government Code do not apply to the issuance and sale of bonds pursuant to this chapter.

(b) The maximum principal amount of the bonds. (c) The maximum term for the bonds. (d) The maximum rate of interest to be payable upon the bonds shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted for bonds of the commission by Section 53531 of the Government Code or any other applicable provisions of law. In the case of bonds bearing a variable interest rate, the variable rate shall on no day exceed the maximum rate permitted for bonds of the commission on that day by Section 53531 of the Government Code or any other applicable provisions of law. However, the variable interest rate so permitted may on any day exceed that maximum rate if the interest paid on the bonds from their date of original issuance to that day does not exceed the total interest which would have been permitted to have been paid on the bonds if the bonds had borne interest at all times from the date of issuance to that day at the maximum rate permitted from time to time by Section 53531 of the Government Code or any other applicable provisions of law. (e) The maximum discount on the sale of the bonds. However, the bonds shall not be sold at less than 95 percent of the principal amount in the manner determined by the commission. Each resolution shall provide for the issuance of bonds in the amounts as may be necessary, until the full amount of the bonds authorized has been issued. The full amount of bonds may be divided into two or more series with different dates of payment fixed for the bonds of each series. A bond need not mature on its anniversary date.

The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following: (a) There is an imperative need for comprehensive planning and implementation of regional transportation projects in the San Diego region. Diminution of congestion on the streets and highways in the San Diego region will facilitate passage of all Californians traveling through San Diego, and especially benefit persons who live or work in San Diego County who must commute to points within and outside the San Diego region on a daily basis. (b) Several separate limited-purpose transportation agencies have been established in the San Diego region, however, the San Diego region would benefit from coordinated and comprehensive planning by these agencies. (c) In view of the limited powers of the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), to provide the needed comprehensive transportation planning and implementation without consolidation of certain responsibilities of the transit boards, the Legislature finds that consolidation of the planning, programming, project development, and construction activities of various transportation agencies in the San Diego region will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of implementing needed transportation infrastructure and services and provide for a focus on meeting the mobility needs of the region. (d) It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to consolidate SANDAG and certain responsibilities of the transit boards to provide for sufficient power and authority to solve the transportation problems in the San Diego region and the needed comprehensive transportation system.

The alternate shall be a mayor, councilperson, or supervisor, as applicable, of his or her governing body. (e) Notwithstanding subdivision (d), in those years when the primary representative of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors is from a district that is substantially an incorporated area, a supervisor who represents a district that is substantially an unincorporated area shall be appointed to the board as the secondary representative. Alternatively, in those years when the primary representative of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors is from a district that is substantially an unincorporated area, a supervisor who represents a district that is substantially an incorporated area shall be appointed to the board as the secondary representative. (f) At its discretion, each city or county may select a second alternate, in the same manner as the first alternate, to serve on the board in the event that neither the primary representative nor the first alternate is able to attend a meeting of the board. This alternate shall be subject to the same restrictions and have the same powers, when serving on the board, as the primary representative. (g) The board may allow for the appointment of advisory representatives to sit with the board but in no event shall those representatives be allowed a vote. The current advisory representatives to the San Diego Association of Governments may continue their advisory representation on the consolidated agency at the discretion of their governing body. The governing bodies of the County of Imperial and the cities in that county may collectively designate an advisory representative to sit with the board. (Amended by Stats. 2017, Ch. 658, Sec. 11.

(a) A majority of the member agencies constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In order to act on any item, the affirmative vote of the majority of the members of the board present is required. However, after a vote of the members is taken, a weighted vote may be called by the members of any two jurisdictions. (b) The governing body of the City of San Diego and the County of San Diego shall allocate their weighted votes equally between their primary and secondary members. (c) For the weighted vote, there shall be a total of 100 votes, except additional votes shall be allowed pursuant to subdivision (h). Each member agency shall have that number of votes determined by the following apportionment formula, provided that each agency shall have at least one vote, no agency shall have more than 50 votes, and there shall be no fractional votes: (1) If any agency has 50 percent or more of the total population of the San Diego County region, allocate 50 votes to that agency and follow paragraph (2), and if not, follow paragraph (3). (2) Total the population of the remaining agencies determined in paragraph (1) and compute the percentage of this total that each agency has. (A) Multiply each percentage derived above by 50 to determine fractional shares. (B) Boost fractions that are less than one to one and add the whole numbers. (C) If the answer to subparagraph (B) is 50, drop all fractions and the whole numbers are the votes for each agency. (D) If the answer to subparagraph (B) is less than 50, the remaining vote is allocated one each to the agency having the highest fraction excepting those whose vote was increased to one pursuant to subparagraph (B). (E) If the answer to subparagraph (B) is more than 50, the excess vote is taken one each from the agency with the lowest fraction. In no case shall a vote be reduced to less than one. (3) Total the population determined in paragraph (1) and compute the percentage of this total that each agency has. (A) Boost fractions that are less than one to one and add the whole numbers. (B) If the answer to subparagraph (A) is 100, drop all fractions and the whole numbers are the votes for each agency. (C) If the answer to subparagraph (A) is less than 100, the remaining vote is allocated one each to the agency having the highest fraction excepting those whose vote was increased to one pursuant to subparagraph (A). (D) If the answer to subparagraph (A) is more than 100, the excess vote is taken one each from the agency with the lowest fraction. In no case shall a vote be reduced to less than one. (d) When a weighted vote is taken on any item that requires more than a majority vote of the board, it shall also require the supermajority percentage of the weighted vote. (e) Approval under the weighted vote procedure requires the vote of not less than four members representing separate jurisdictions and not less than 51 percent of the total weighted vote to supersede the original action of the board. (f) For purposes of subdivision (c), the population of the County of San Diego is the population in the unincorporated area of the county. (g) The weighted vote formula under subdivision (c) shall be recomputed every July 1. (h) Any newly incorporated city shall receive one vote under the weighted vote procedure until the next recomputation of the weighted vote formula under subdivision (c), at which time the new agency shall receive votes in accordance with the recomputed formula. Until this recomputation, the total weighted vote may exceed 100. (Amended by Stats. 2017, Ch. 658, Sec. 12. (AB 805) Effective January 1, 2018.)
