Summary

Existing law establishes the San Diego County Regional Transportation Commission in the County of San Diego and requires the board of directors of the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) to serve as the commission. Existing law authorizes the commission to impose a retail transactions and use tax by ordinance in the county if approved by 23 of the electors voting on the measure. Existing law further authorizes the commission to expand, extend, or increase the tax if approved by the required vote of the electors. Existing law requires the ordinance to contain an expenditure plan that includes an allocation of revenues for the purposes authorized in the ordinance. Pursuant to this authority, the commission, upon receiving voter approval, imposed a retail transactions and use tax of 12 of 1% in 1987, and extended the tax, commonly referred to as the TransNet Extension Ordinance, in 2004 until April 1, 2048. This bill would prohibit SANDAG's board of directors, serving as the commission, from changing the allocation of revenues to any component of the expenditure plan contained in the TransNet Extension Ordinance by more than an unspecified percentage unless the board, serving as the commission, adopts a resolution proposing to change the allocation of revenues in the expenditure plan, holds 4 public meetings in specified regions of the county to share the details of the proposed change, and the proposed change is approved by 23 of the electors voting on the measure at a special election called by the board, serving as the commission. This bill would impose a state-mandated local program by requiring the County of San Diego to conduct the election on a proposed change to the allocation of revenues in the expenditure plan. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
