THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Title 7.84 (commencing with Section 67645) is added to
the Government Code, to read:

      TITLE 7.84.  CONCORD NAVAL WEAPONS STATION REUSE AUTHORITY


   67645.  This title shall be known and may be cited as the Concord
Naval Weapons Station Reuse Authority Act.
   67645.1.  The Legislature hereby finds and declares the following
goals to be the policy of the state of California:
   (a) To facilitate the transfer and reuse of the real and other
property comprising the military reservation known as the Concord
Naval Weapons Station with all practical speed.
   (b) To minimize the disruption caused by the base's closure on the
civilian economy and the people of Contra Costa County and the bay
area.
   (c) To provide for the reuse and development of the base area in
ways that enhance the economy and quality of life of the Contra Costa
County and bay area community.
   (d) To maintain and protect the unique environmental resources of
the area.
   67645.2.  The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
   (a) The policy set forth in Section 67645.1 is most likely to be
achieved if an effective governmental structure exists to plan for,
finance, and carry out the transfer and reuse of the base in a
cooperative, coordinated, balanced, and decisive manner.
   (b) Contra Costa County and the City of Concord have requested the
Legislature to establish a governmental structure for the Concord
Naval Weapons Station.
   67645.5.  Contra Costa County and the City of Concord may
establish the Concord Naval Weapons Station Reuse Authority upon the
adoption of resolutions favoring the establishment of the authority
by the governing bodies of those agencies, to plan for, finance, and
manage the transition of the property known as the Concord Naval
Weapons Station from military to civilian use.
  SEC. 2.  The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is
necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the
meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution
because of the unique need in Contra Costa County to facilitate the
use of the Concord Naval Weapons Station from military to civilian
use.
