           DIGEST  :    As it left the Senate, this bill clarified  
          references in the Government Code relative to the  
          definition of "eligible recipient Indian tribes."

          This bill now extends the sunset on the Multifamily  
          Improvement District Law from January 1, 2012 to January 1,  
          2022.

           ANALYSIS  :    Existing law enacted the Multifamily  
          Improvement District (MID) Law to provide until January 1,  
          2012, for the establishment of MIDs within a city or county  
          to levy assessments on residential rental properties within  
          the district for the purpose of financing certain  
          improvements and promoting certain activities beneficial to  
                                                           CONTINUED





                                                               SB 1483

          those properties. 

          SB 1404 (Soto), Chapter 526, Statutes of 2004, enacted the  
          MID Law to provide, until January 1, 2012, for the  
          establishment of MIDs within a city or county to levy  
          assessments on residential rental properties within the  
          district for the purpose of financing certain improvements  
          and promoting certain activities beneficial to those  
          properties. 

          This bill extends the sunset on the MID law an additional  
          10 years. 

           Comments
           
          According to the Apartment Association, California Southern  
          Cities, one MID is successfully operating in the City of  
          Long Beach, commonly referred to as "Andy Street  
          Multi-Family Improvement District".  The owners want to  
          continue the improvement district because they have seen  
          measurable and tangible results reducing crime. In a few  
          years the district has been operational, police service  
          calls have been reduced from 480 to 210 in a fiscal year.   
          The property owners do not want to see a wildly successful  
          crime prevention program fail because the Legislature did  
          not act to extend the sunset date.  Further, the City of  
          Long Beach has identified another improvement district  
          known as the "Pine-Locust" project; the area is two-blocks  
          long, has 124 property owners who are working in a  
          cooperative manner to establish a new MID
