AB 774, as introduced, Donnelly. Country service areas: zone dissolution.
The County Service Area Law authorizes the county board of supervisors, acting as the governing authority of a county service area, to provide for the collection and enforcement of property-related fees and charges in the same manner that the county collects and enforces property-related fees and charges for the property-related services that the county provides. Existing law allows the board to change the boundaries of a zone, or to dissolve the zone, by following specified procedures.
This bill would require the board to post signs indicating which services and facilities are no longer provided within the zone and require the board to provide adequate maintenance to the signs. This bill would provide that, once the signs are posted and the action is recorded, the county and the dissolved zone shall not be held liable for death or injury resulting from the termination of services or facilities.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
