BILL NUMBER: AB 936 CHAPTERED 10/14/01 CHAPTER 932 FILED WITH SECRETARY OF STATE OCTOBER 14,2001 PASSED THE SENATE SEPTEMBER 14, 2001 PASSED THE ASSEMBLY SEPTEMBER 14, 2001 AMENDED IN SENATE SEPTEMBER 12, 2001 AMENDED IN SENATE AUGUST 30, 2001 AMENDED IN SENATE JULY 10, 2001 AMENDED IN SENATE JUNE 20, 2001 AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY MAY 31, 2001 AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY APRIL 25, 2001 AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY APRIL 16, 2001 INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Vargas (Coauthor: Senator Alpert) FEBRUARY 23, 2001 An act relating to local public services, and making an appropriation therefor. (Approved by Governor October 14, 2001. Filed with Secretary of State October 14, 2001.) I have signed Assembly Bill 936 with a reduction. This bill would appropriate $1.75 million General Fund to the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to provide a grant to the City of San Diego to purchase two facilities for the homeless. The bill would also clarify that funds appropriated in the Budget Act of 2001 to the City of San Diego for a grant to the Stein Education Center shall be allocated directly to the Education Center; reappropriate funds provided in the Budget Act of 2000 for the Guadalupe Trail in the City of San Jose; and would revise provisions in the Budget Act of 2001 to direct the Department of Boating and Waterways to recalculate a specified loan to the owner of a marina at Lake Oroville. I am reducing the appropriation to HCD from $1.75 million to $750,000 due to fiscal constraints and limited resources in the General Fund. GRAY DAVIS, Governor LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 936, Vargas. Local public services. (1) Existing law establishes the Emergency Housing and Assistance Program within the Department of Housing and Community Development. This bill would appropriate $1,750,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Housing and Community Development to provide a grant to the City of San Diego to purchase 2 25-bed facilities for homeless persons who are diagnosed with severe mental illness. (2) The existing Budget Act of 2001 appropriates $20,000 to the Department of Parks and Recreation for allocation to the City of San Diego for the Stein Education Center. This bill would require this amount to be allocated directly to the Stein Education Center. (3) Existing law requires the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to implement and administer various forest resource management programs. The bill would reappropriate certain funds originally appropriated by the Budget Act of 1999, and reappropriated by Chapter 672 of the Statutes of 2000, for the establishment and development of the Guadalupe Trail in the City of San Jose, and areas surrounding the city. (4) The existing Budget Act of 2001 appropriates $59,329,000 to the Department of Boating and Waterways for local assistance in connection with local waterways. This bill would require the department to recalculate the amount owed on a loan made by the department in connection with improvements to a specified marina at Lake Oroville. Appropriation: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The sum of one million seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($1,750,000) is hereby appropriated from the General Fund to the Department of Housing and Community Development to provide a grant to the City of San Diego to purchase two 25-bed facilities for homeless persons who are diagnosed with severe mental illness. SEC. 2. Notwithstanding Schedule (b) (109) of Item 3790-101-0001 of the Budget Act of 2001 (Chapter 106, Statutes of 2001), the sum of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) shall be allocated directly to the Stein Education Center for the purpose of its play area upgrade, rather than to the City of San Diego. SEC. 3. The funds reappropriated by Item 0540-491 of Chapter 672 of the Statutes of 2000 for the Guadalupe River Parkway in the City of San Jose are hereby reappropriated for the establishment and development of the Guadalupe Trail in the City of San Jose, and areas surrounding the city, subject to the limitations, unless otherwise specified, provided for in the original appropriation of those funds by Item 0540-103-0001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 1999 (Ch. 50, Stats. 1999). SEC. 4. The provisions of Item 3680-101-0516 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2001 (Ch. 106, Stats. of 2001) are revised to add the following provision: 2. The Department of Boating and Waterways shall recalculate the amount of principal owed by Funtime-Fulltime, Inc. pursuant to a loan made by the department to finance improvements to the Bidwell Canyon Marina, located at Lake Oroville. The recalculation shall take into consideration those items financed by the principal of the loan that are traditionally provided by the state in similar instances involving the state park and recreation system. The recalculation may result in a reduction in the amount of principal due under loan by an amount not to exceed $370,000.
