Summary

Existing law authorizes the legislative body of any city, defined as a city, county, or city and county, to determine that it would be convenient and advantageous to designate an area within which authorized city officials and free and willing property owners may enter into contractual assessments and make arrangements to finance public improvements to specified lots or parcels or to finance the installation of distributed generation renewable energy sources or energy efficiency improvements that are permanently fixed to real property, as specified. Existing law requires the legislative body to make these determinations by adopting a resolution indicating its intention to do so and requires the resolution to include certain specified information. This bill would expand these provisions to authorize the legislative body of any public agency, as defined, to determine that it would be in the public interest to designate an area within which authorized city officials and free and willing property owners may enter into contractual assessments to finance the installation of water efficiency improvements that are permanently fixed to real property, as specified. The bill would also, with respect to all of its provisions, modify its definitions and require a legislative body to perform additional record keeping duties and provide specified notice to any entity that provides energy or water within the boundaries of the area within which contractual assessments may be entered into. This bill would also require additional specified disclosures for a transfer of real property subject to a contractual assessment. The bill would declare the intent of the Legislature in regard to these provisions. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
