Fiscal Impact: Unknown local costs, some of which may be reimbursable by the state General Fund. Potentially reimbursable costs may exceed $100,000. Actual costs would depend upon a determination by the Commission on State Mandates regarding what expenses incurred by CBMWD in implementing the bill are deemed to be subject to state reimbursement. AB 1794 (Cristina Garcia) Page 1 of ? See staff comments in the analysis from the August 1 hearing for a discussion of potentially reimbursable costs. Staff notes that the amendments adopted by this Committee reduce the potentially reimbursable costs. Specifically, eliminating the technical oversight committee and delaying the redistricting process until after the next census (at which time the CBMWD would be required to update district division boundaries anyway) would reduce local costs that may be subject to reimbursement. Author Amendments: Change the date when the CBMWD board changes from eight members to seven members to November 8, 2022, which delays the time by which the district must be divided into four equalized electorate divisions, rather than the current five divisions. Add a provision that prohibits an appointed director from holding more than one consecutive term of office on the board. Strike out provisions that establish a technical oversight committee. Strike out the urgency clause. Make the bill contingent upon the enactment of SB 953 (Lara), of the 2015-16 Regular Session. -- END --
