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.
