AB 2292, as amended, Bonta. Infrastructure financing districts: City of Oakland: freight rail.
Existing law authorizes an infrastructure financing district to finance only public capital facilities of communitywide significance which provide significant benefits to an area larger than the area of the district, including, among others, highways, interchanges, ramps and bridges, arterial streets, parking facilities, transit facilities, facilities for the collection and treatment of water for urban uses, child care facilities, libraries, and facilities for the transfer and disposal of solid waste.
This bill would additionally authorize an infrastructure financing district within the Oakland Army Base, the Howard Terminal, or the Coliseum City in the City of Oakland to finance public capital facilities or projects that include freight rail. This bill would require the governing board of the City of Oakland to establish a commission, as specified, to advise the city on the safety concerns regarding development on the Howard Terminal.
This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Oakland.
By imposing new duties upon the governing board of the City of Oakland, this bill would 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.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.
