	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 141, as amended,  Gorell   Ammiano  .
 Ports: appropriation: Port Hueneme shoreline protection.
  Treasure Island Transportation Management Act. 

   Existing law provides for the regulation of ports in this state,
and provides funding to ports and port districts for that purpose.
 
   This bill would appropriate the sum of $2,000,000 from the General
Fund to the City of Port Hueneme, to be used by the city to
implement emergency measures to prevent severe infrastructure damage
to streets and property along Hueneme Beach caused by beach erosion
and flooding.  
   Existing law, the Treasure Island Transportation Management Act,
authorizes the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San
Francisco to designate a board or agency to act as the transportation
management agency for Treasure Island, defined to also include Yerba
Buena Island. The act authorizes the transportation management
agency, pursuant to the terms of a resolution or ordinance adopted by
the board of supervisors, to recommend an initial fee structure for
congestion pricing fees to be adopted by the board of supervisors and
the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, and to adopt
on-street and off-street parking fees, fines, and penalties, and
other parking-related revenues and a transit pass fee structure for
Treasure Island. The act specifies the powers and duties of the
agency on these and other related matters, including the adoption and
administration of a transportation program, the collection and use
of revenues generated from those fees, and coordination with the San
Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.  
   This bill would rename the Treasure Island Transportation
Management Agency as the Treasure Island Mobility Management Agency
and would authorize the board of supervisors to revise or revoke this
designation of the transportation management agency and designate a
new board or agency to act as the transportation management agency at
any time. The bill would provide that the transportation management
agency is an independent and autonomous public agency governed by the
board of the transportation authority, as designated by the board of
supervisors on April 1, 2014, or by any future revised governance as
designated by the board of supervisors, and is a separate and
distinct legal entity responsible for its own obligations, debts, and
liabilities and not for the obligations, debts, or liabilities of
any other agency or entity.  
   The bill would authorize the transportation management agency to
do all acts under its own name that are necessary or convenient for
the exercise of its designated powers and the financing of projects,
as specified, and would require the agency to adopt an annual budget.

   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Vote: 2/3. Appropriation:  yes   no  .
