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.

Both parties shall bargain in good faith and make all reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the terms of a written contract governing wages, salaries, hours, working conditions, and grievance procedures. (1) If a dispute arises over the terms of a written contract governing wages, salaries, hours, or working conditions that is not resolved by negotiations conducted in good faith between the transit board and the representatives of the employees, then upon the agreement of both parties, the transit board and the representatives of the employees may submit the dispute to an arbitration board. The decision of a majority of the arbitration board shall be final. (2) (A) The arbitration board shall be composed of two representatives of the transit board, two representatives of the labor organization, and a fifth member to be agreed upon by the representatives of the transit board and labor organization. (B) If the representatives of the transit board and labor organization are unable to agree on the fifth member, then the names of five persons experienced in labor arbitration shall be obtained from the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service. The labor organization and the transit district shall, alternately, strike a name from the list supplied by the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service. The labor organization and the transit district shall determine by lot who shall first strike a name from the list. After the labor organization and the transit district have stricken four names, the name remaining shall be designated as the arbitrator. (C) The transit board and the labor organization shall each pay one-half of the cost of the impartial arbitrator. (b) A contract or agreement shall not be made with any labor organization, association, group, or individual that denies membership on any basis listed in subdivision (a) of Section 12940 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926 and 12926.1 of the Government Code. However, the organization may preclude from membership any individual who advocates the overthrow of the government by force or violence. (c) The district shall not discriminate with regard to employment against any person on any basis listed in subdivision (a) of Section 12940 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926 and 12926.1 of the Government Code, except as otherwise provided in Section 12940 of the Government Code.

(a) (1) A mobilehome park that provides water service only to its tenants from water supplies and facilities that it owns, not otherwise dedicated to public service, is not a water corporation. However, if a complaint is filed with the commission by tenants of the mobilehome park that represent 10 percent or more of the park’s water service connections during any 12-month period, claiming that the water rates charged by the park are not just and reasonable or that the service is inadequate, the commission shall have jurisdiction to determine the merits of the complaint and shall determine, based on all the facts and circumstances, whether the rates charged are just and reasonable and whether the service provided is adequate. (2) The numerical threshold of persons may include former or current tenants, or both. (3) A person shall not file a complaint against a mobilehome park pursuant to paragraph (1) if that person has not resided in that mobilehome park within the last five years. (b) Complaints filed pursuant to subdivision (a) are subject to this code and to the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the commission governing complaints and commission investigations. (c) (1) A mobilehome park, as described in subdivision (a), shall provide written notice to each of the mobilehome park’s tenants to inform those tenants of their right to, and how to, file a complaint with the commission about the water rates charged or the service provided by the mobilehome park. With respect to the notice, the mobilehome park shall do all of the following: (A) Provide the notice to new tenants at the time the tenants establish residence within the mobilehome park. (B) Provide the notice to tenants each time the mobilehome park changes water rates or service. (2) (A) Notwithstanding any other law, the notice provided by a mobilehome park pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be written in English, the languages set forth in subdivision (b) of Section 1632 of the Civil Code, and the language or languages of primary communication with the residents receiving the notice. (B) The commission shall prepare and make available on its Internet Web site an approved notice in English and the languages set forth in subdivision (b) of Section 1632 of the Civil Code. In providing notice pursuant to paragraph (1), a mobilehome park shall use the then-current language made available by the commission pursuant to this subparagraph. (3) A mobilehome park that fails to provide the notice required by this subdivision shall be subject to the penalties established in Section 2111. (d) The commission may afford rate relief or may order the mobilehome park to improve its water supply, facilities, and services on those terms that it finds just and reasonable, or both. (e) If the commission finds, after investigation, that the mobilehome park has charged an unjust or unreasonable rate in violation of this section subsequent to December 31, 2012, the commission shall order the mobilehome park to reimburse the complainants and any other current and former tenants affected by the rate, if no discrimination will result from the reimbursement. Reimbursement shall be calculated from the first date of collection of the unjust or unreasonable rate, with interest. The commission shall not make an order for the payment of reimbursement upon the ground of unjustness or unreasonableness if the rate in question has been previously declared by formal finding of the commission to be reasonable. The commission shall not recognize the assignment of a reimbursement claim except assignments by operation of law as in cases of death, insanity, bankruptcy, receivership, or order of court. (f) The public advisor created pursuant to Section 321 and necessary staff of the commission shall assist the complainants. (Amended by Stats. 2012, Ch. 539, Sec. 2.

The executive director may grant additional extensions of 60 days or less consistent with this subparagraph. (2) For a consolidation valued at five million dollars ($5,000,000) or less, the commission may designate a different procedure if it determines that the consolidation warrants a more comprehensive review than the advice letter procedure described in paragraph (1) provides. (d) For purposes of a consolidation pursuant to either subdivision (b) or (c), the commission shall prioritize cases in which a water or sewer system corporation consolidates with a small community water system or state small water system that is subject to a citation issued pursuant to Section 116650 of the Health and Safety Code or a compliance order issued pursuant to Section 116655 of the Health and Safety Code for failure to meet primary or secondary drinking water standards, as defined in Section 116275 of the Health and Safety Code. (e) A water or sewer system corporation seeking to consolidate with a small community water system or state small water system pursuant to this section shall give adequate public notice and provide adequate opportunities for public participation, as determined by the commission.
