SB 1039 (Ducheny) Harbors and ports: San Diego Unified Port District.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1039, as amended, Ducheny. Harbors and ports: San Diego Unified Port District. Existing law, the San Diego Unified Port District Act, provides for the San Diego Unified Port District. Under the act, the Board of Commissioners of the San Diego Unified Port District has the sole authority to adopt and modify a master plan for harbor and port improvement and for the use of the tidelands and submerged lands under the San Diego Unified Port District's jurisdiction. This bill would authorize the board, in implementing the master plan, to consider the inclusion of cooperative infrastructure and capital projects that directly address maritime impacts in the cities that host maritime industrial activities and that are consistent with the public trust doctrine require the board, in implementing the master plan, to include funding for cooperative infrastructure and capital projects on and off tidelands and submerged lands, consistent with the public trust doctrine, that directly address maritime industrial impacts by the port in cities that host maritime terminals . The bill would specify conditions for eligibility for cities to receive funding for cooperative infrastructure and capital projects. By requiring the board to provide this funding, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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 these statutory provisions.
