statistical districts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2207, Levine.  Statistical districts:  San Fernando Valley.
   Existing law requires the Department of Finance, the State
Department of Health Services, and the Department of Transportation,
in the preparation and maintenance of any statistical analyses by
city, to make a separate breakdown of the San Fernando Valley, as
described, provided that the City of Los Angeles continues to provide
all necessary data.  Existing law specifies that no department of
state government is required by these provisions to prepare or
maintain any but specified statistical information.
   This bill instead would require any state agency or department
that develops and maintains data and statistics on the municipal
level, to make a separate breakdown of the San Fernando Valley, in
the preparation and maintenance of any statistical analyses by city,
and would authorize state agencies to require the City of Los Angeles
to provide all necessary data.  It would provide that an alternate
method may be used to determine the separate breakdown of the San
Fernando Valley if a tax area code is used in the statistical
analysis, and would also revise the description of the San Fernando
Valley.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 11093 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   11093.  (a) (1) Any state agency or department that develops and
maintains data and statistics on the municipal level, shall, in the
preparation and maintenance of any statistical analyses, by city,
either by population, fiscal, or other bases, make a separate
breakdown of the San Fernando Valley, and shall require the City of
Los Angeles to provide all necessary data.
   (2) If the use of a tax area code is required in order to comply
with paragraph (1), an alternate method may be used to determine the
separate breakdown of the San Fernando Valley.
   (b) The Controller may, upon request therefor contained in a
motion adopted by the City Council of the City of Los Angeles,
designate additional statistical areas within the City of Los
Angeles, except that the additional statistical areas shall in no
event exceed three in number.
   (c) For purposes of this section, the San Fernando Valley is all
the portion of Los Angeles City that is described as follows:
   From a point commencing where the City of Los Angeles most
northerly boundary intersects with the Golden State Freeway and
following on the city boundary in an easterly direction where that
boundary first intersects with the boundary of the City of Burbank;
thence continuing southeasterly along the Burbank City boundary to
its intersection with Barham Boulevard; thence in a southerly
direction on Barham Boulevard to its intersection with Cahuenga
Boulevard; thence in a southeasterly direction on Cahuenga Boulevard
to Mulholland Drive; thence along Mulholland Drive to Owen Brown
Road; thence in a southerly direction on Owen Brown Road to its
intersection with the Los Angeles City boundary; thence following the
Los Angeles City boundary west and northerly until that boundary
intersects with the starting point at the Golden State Freeway.
