LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 774, Cardoza. Redevelopment Castle Air Force Base. Existing law designates the Castle Joint Powers Authority as the local base reuse entity for Castle Air Force Base and creates the Castle Joint Powers Redevelopment Agency for redevelopment of the Castle Air Force Base project area. This bill would designate instead the County of Merced as the local base reuse authority for Castle Air Force Base, and repeal the provisions of law creating and setting forth the powers of the Castle Joint Powers Redevelopment Agency as the redevelopment agency for the Castle Air Force Base project area. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 65050 of the Government Code is amended to read: 65050. (a) As used in this article, the following phrases have the following meanings: (1) "Military base" means a military base that is designated for closure or downward realignment pursuant to the Defense Authorization Amendments and Base Closure and Realignment Act (P.L. 100-526), the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-510), or any subsequent closure or realignment approved by the President of the United States without objection by the Congress. (2) "Effective date of a base closure" means the date a base closure decision becomes final under the terms specified by federal law. These decisions become final 45 legislative days after the date the federal Base Closure Commission submits its recommendations to the President, he or she approves those recommendations, and the Congress does not disapprove those recommendations or adjourns. (b) It is not the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section to preempt local planning efforts or to supersede any existing or subsequent authority invested in the Defense Conversion Council, as established by Article 3.7 (commencing with Section 15346). It is the intent of this article to provide a means of conflict resolution. (c) For the purposes of this article, a single local base reuse entity shall be recognized pursuant to the provisions of this section for each military base closure in this state. (d) The following entities or their successors, including, but not limited to, separate airport or port authorities, are recognized as the single local reuse entity for the military bases listed: Military Base Local Reuse Entity George Air Force Base Victor Valley Economic Development Authority Hamilton Army Base City of Novato Mather Air Force Base County of Sacramento Norton Air Force Base Inland Valley Development Authority Presidio Army Base City and County of San Francisco Salton Sea Navy Base Imperial County Castle Air Force Base County of Merced Hunters Point Naval City and County of Annex San Francisco Long Beach Naval Station City of Long Beach MCAS Tustin City of Tustin Sacramento Army Depot City of Sacramento MCAS El Toro Local redevelopment authority recognized by the United States Department of Economic Adjustment March Air Force Base March Joint Powers Authority Mare Island Naval Shipyard City of Vallejo Naval Training Center, City of San Diego San Diego NS Treasure Island City and County of San Francisco NAS Alameda, San Francisco Alameda Reuse Bay Public Works and Redevelopment Center, Alameda Naval Authority Aviation Depot Oakland Navy Hospital City of Oakland Fort Ord Army Base Fort Ord Reuse Authority Any military base reuse authority created pursuant to Title 7.86 (commencing with Section 67800). (e) For any military base that is closed and not listed in subdivision (d), a single local reuse entity shall be recognized for the base by the state if resolutions acknowledging the entity as the single base reuse entity are adopted by the affected county board of supervisors and the city council of each city located wholly or partly within the boundaries of a military base or having a sphere of influence over any portion of the base and are forwarded to the Defense Conversion Council and the Office of Planning and Research within 60 days after the effective date of a base closure decision or by March 1, 1995, whichever date is later. (f) If the necessary resolutions are not adopted within the time limit specified in subdivision (e), the Director of the Office of Planning and Research may select a mediator, from a list submitted by the Defense Conversion Council containing no fewer than seven recommendations, to reach agreement among the affected jurisdictions on a single local reuse entity. In selecting a mediator, the director shall appoint a neutral person or persons, with experience in local land use issues, to facilitate communication between the disputants and assist them in reaching a mutually acceptable agreement. (g) As a last resort, and only if no recognition is made pursuant to the procedure specified in subdivisions (e) and (f) within 120 days after a base closure decision has become final or within 120 days after the date on which this section becomes operative, whichever date is later, the Defense Conversion Council, created pursuant to Article 3.6 (commencing with Section 15346) of Chapter 1 of Part 6.7 of Division 3 of Title 2, shall hold public hearings and recognize a single local base reuse entity for each closing base for which agreement is reached among the local jurisdictions with responsibility for complying with Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 65100) and Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 65800) on the base, or recommend legislation or action by the local agency formation commission if necessary to implement a proposed recognition. (h) In recognizing a single local reuse entity pursuant to this section, preference shall be given to existing entities and entities with responsibility for complying with Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 65100) and Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 65800). (i) Any recognition of a single local reuse entity made pursuant to subdivision (e), (f), or (g) shall be submitted by the Director of the Office of Planning and Research to the Governor, the Legislature, and the United States Department of Defense. SEC. 2. Article 2 (commencing with Section 33492.50) of Chapter 4.5 of Part 1 of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code is repealed.
