	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 650, as amended, Yee.  Coastal resources: City of Half
Moon Bay.  Parks: City of Half Moon Bay.  
   The Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control,
River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006, an initiative statute
approved by the voters at the November 7, 2006, statewide general
election, among other things, makes $400,000,000 in bond funds
available to the Department of Parks and Recreation for competitive
grants for local and regional parks.  
   This bill would appropriate $10,000,000 of the $400,000,000
available from the bond act to the Department of Parks and Recreation
for a grant to the City of Half Moon Bay to purchase certain
property known as the Beachwood Property for the sole purpose of
development as a public park.  
   The bill would provide that in any case in which the provisions of
the bill and the initiative conflict, the initiative shall prevail.
 
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.  
   The California Coastal Act of 1976 requires any person undertaking
development in the coastal zone to obtain a coastal development
permit in accordance with prescribed procedures.  
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to assist the City of Half Moon Bay relating to its
settlement agreement of an action involving certain property in the
coastal zone.
