   An act to amend Section 67951 of the Government Code, relating to
transportation.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1204, as amended, Huber. El Dorado County Transportation
Commission.
   Existing law requires the Director of Transportation to designate
a transportation planning agency in each county for the purpose of
allocating funds in the local transportation fund derived from 1/4 of
1% of the sales tax, pursuant to the Mills-Alquist-Deddeh Act, also
known as the Transportation Development Act, and for other related
transportation purposes. Existing law creates the El Dorado County
Transportation Planning Agency, also known as the El Dorado County
Transportation Commission, as the transportation planning agency in
the portion of El Dorado County outside of the Tahoe Basin. Existing
law provides that the agency is composed of 6 members, with 3 members
appointed by the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors and 3 members
appointed by the city council of the City of Placerville.
   This bill would instead provide for the agency to be comprised of
4 members appointed by the board of supervisors and 2 members
appointed by each incorporated city in the portion of El Dorado
County outside of the Tahoe Basin. However, if there is only one
incorporated city, that city would appoint 3 members. Because the
bill would impose additional duties on local agencies, it would
thereby impose a state-mandated local program. 
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.  
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.  
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.  
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 67951 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   67951.  The agency shall be composed of four members appointed by
the county board of supervisors and two members appointed by the city
council of each incorporated city in that portion of the county
described in Section 67950, unless there is only one incorporated
city, in which case that city shall have three appointed members. The
appointing authority, for each regular member it appoints, may
appoint an alternate member to serve in place of the regular member
when the regular member is absent or disqualified from participating
in a meeting of the agency. 
  SEC. 2.    If the Commission on State Mandates
determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs
shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of
Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code. 
   SEC. 2.    No reimbursement is required by this act
pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local
agency or school district are the result of a program for which
legislative authority was requested by that local agency or school
district, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code
and Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.
