SB 626 California Senate · 2015-2016 Regular Session

Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District: police force.

Summary

Existing law creates the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District, within the Counties of Sonoma and Marin, governed by a 12-member board of directors. Existing law requires the district to work with specified authorities to achieve a safe, efficient, and compatible system of passenger and freight rail service and authorizes the district to own, operate, manage, and maintain a passenger rail system within the territory of the district. Existing law requires the board to appoint a general manager for the district and authorizes the general manager to, among other things, appoint, supervise, suspend, or remove district officers, other than members of the board and officers appointed by the board. This bill would authorize the board to establish the position of chief of police, subject to specified requirements. If the board determines that more than one peace officer is needed, the bill would require the board to contract with law enforcement agencies located within the County of Marin or the County of Sonoma for the additional law enforcement services of one or more peace officers.
