	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1048, Speier.  Parking authorities.
   The Parking Law of 1949 provides for, in every city or city and
county, a parking authority that functions only after the adoption of
a resolution of need by its legislative body.  Existing law
authorizes the mayor to appoint the members of the parking authority
and permits the mayor of a charter city or city and county having a
parking and traffic commission created by its charter, with the
approval of the legislative body, to require the members of the
commission to serve ex officio as members of the parking authority.
   This bill would, in a charter city or city and county having a
board of directors of a public transportation agency created by its
charter, authorize 5 or more members of the board to serve ex officio
as members of the parking authority.
   The bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 32657 of the Streets and Highways Code is
amended to read:
   32657.  (a) Three of the members first appointed shall be
designated by the mayor, with the approval of the legislative body,
to serve for terms of one, two, and three years, respectively, from a
date specified by the mayor in their appointments, and two shall be
designated to serve for terms of four years from that date.
Thereafter, members shall be appointed for a term of four years.  All
vacancies occurring during a term shall be filled for the unexpired
term.  A member shall hold office until his or her successor has been
appointed and has qualified.
   (b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), in any charter city having a
parking and traffic commission created by the city's charter, the
mayor, with the approval of the legislative body, may require the
members of that commission to serve ex officio as members of the
parking authority and to exercise all the powers and duties thereof.
Upon the appointment of persons as commissioners of the city's
parking and traffic commission, those commissioners shall replace the
members of a parking authority appointed pursuant to subdivision (a)
and shall succeed to the powers and duties of those members as
provided in this chapter.
   (c) Notwithstanding subdivisions (a) and (b) or Section 32656, in
any charter city having a board of directors of a public
transportation agency created by the city's charter, five or more
members of the board of directors may serve ex officio as members of
the parking authority and exercise all the powers and duties thereof
during their terms as members of the board of directors.  Persons
appointed as members of the public transportation agency's board of
directors may replace the members of a parking authority appointed
pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b) and may succeed to the powers and
duties of those members as provided in the city's charter.
  SEC. 2.  This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect.  The facts constituting the necessity are:
   The charter of the City and County San Francisco requires it to
appoint ex officio members by July 1, 2002, and it may not be
possible for it to do so unless state law is changed prior to that
date.
