State property: tidelands transfer: City of Martinez.

(1) Existing law grants to the City of Martinez all right, title, and interest of the state to 3 specified parcels of land in the Straits of Carquinez, to be held in trust for specified uses. The Kapiloff Land Bank Act creates the Land Bank Fund and continuously appropriates moneys in the fund, subject to a statutory trust, to the State Lands Commission, acting as the Land Bank Trustee, to acquire real property or any interest in real property for the purposes of public trust title settlements. This bill would repeal that grant of trust lands to the City of Martinez and would instead provide for a new grant of trust lands to the City of Martinez that would include an additional 4th parcel. The bill would require the trust lands to be held by the city, as trustee, for the benefit of all the people of the state for purposes consistent with the public trust doctrine, including the protection of maritime or water-dependent commerce, navigation, and fisheries, the preservation of the lands in their natural state for scientific study, open space, wildlife habitat, and water-oriented recreation. The bill would authorize the city to lease trust lands under specified conditions for purposes consistent with the grant. The bill would require the City of Martinez to submit to the commission by January 1, 2020, for its approval, a trust lands use plan, as prescribed. The bill would require the city to file with the commission by September 30, 2025, and every 5 years thereafter, a detailed report of its trust lands uses and, an annual statement of trust revenues and expenditures that meets specified requirements. The bill would require the city to file a specific document with the commission before expending trust revenues for any single capital improvement on the trust lands greater than $250,000 and would prohibit that expenditure of funds if the commission determines it is not authorized. The bill would require, commencing June 30, 2015, and at the end of every fiscal year thereafter, and subject to an exception, that 20% of all gross revenues generated from the trust lands be transmitted to the commission, for allocation by the Treasurer, of which 80% would be deposited in the General Fund and 20% in the Land Bank Fund, thereby making an appropriation. By imposing new duties on the City of Martinez with respect to the trust lands, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (2) 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 no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
