LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 588, Goldberg Statistical districts: Hollywood. Existing law requires 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 authorizes state agencies to require the City of Los Angeles to provide all necessary data in this regard, except 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. This bill would similarly require designated state entities to make a separate breakdown of statistical data regarding the community of Hollywood, as described. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) World famous Hollywood attracts about 10 million tourists each year. It has turned a corner from the crime and dilapidation that plagued the area for decades and today has attracted billions of dollars in new development. (b) Hollywood now ranks as having one of the highest hotel occupancy rates, gathering one of the highest room rates in all of Los Angeles County. (c) Last year, Hollywood also experienced the largest year-over-year increase in hotel occupancy rates and had the highest room rate jump of all submarkets in Los Angeles County. (d) Because of the recent spur of development, the Hollywood community now receives numerous requests each month for information on the area. Developers and entrepreneurs interested in opening businesses, civic and education leaders, and residents are continually requesting specific data on Hollywood's population, median income, employment, housing stock, general land use, tourism, and infrastructure. (e) This critical data is either inaccessible or not collected at all. It is also often scattered among multiple city agencies and departments or not reported on a regular basis. (f) The difficulty, or sometimes impossibility, of gathering the information in a timely manner jeopardizes bringing major development to the area, and it poses significant barriers to planning and promoting the economic and social growth of the community of Hollywood. SEC. 2. Section 11093.4 is added to the Government Code, to read: 11093.4. (a) (1) The State Board of Equalization, Employment Development Department, Department of Industrial Relations, Department of Finance, and the Department of Transportation, shall, in the preparation and maintenance of any statistical analyses and data, by city, either by population, fiscal, or other bases, make a separate breakdown of the community of Hollywood, and shall require the City of Los Angeles to provide all necessary data at the sole expense of the City of Los Angeles. (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 community of Hollywood. (3) The state entities specified in paragraph (1) are required to implement the data reporting and analysis requirements of this subdivision only to the extent that data is available from federal, state, or local sources that provide data for other jurisdictions or is provided by the City of Los Angeles. Those state entities are not required to develop or collect data. No data shall be reported that would violate data confidentiality agreements or rules. The state entities are not required to report data that would not meet the statistical accuracy standards for the publication or data series to which they relate. The state entities may report special analyses or data compilations for the community of Hollywood, if reimbursement or other funding is provided. (b) For purposes of this section, the community of Hollywood is all the portion of Los Angeles City that is described as follows: (1) The City of Los Angeles Hollywood Community Plan Area, which was established in 1974 (Council File 72 -1629). For statistical reporting purposes, the City of Los Angeles' Hollywood Community Plan Area is comprised of selected United States Census Tracts. Per the tracts established by the 2000 United States Census, the area's selected tract numbers are: 188200, 189100, 189200, 189300, 189400, 189500, 189600, 189701, 189702, 189800, 189901, 189902, 190100, 190200, 190301, 190400, 190510, 190520, 190700, 190800, 190901, 190902, 191000, 191110, 191120, 191201, 191203, 191204, 191300, 191410, 191420, 191500, 191610, 191620, 191710, 191720, 191810, 191820, 191900, 192000, 192610 (partial), 194100, 194200, 194300, 194400, 195200, 195300.
