Local agency services: contracts: Counties of Napa and San Bernardino.

Under the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, a city or district may only provide new or extended services by contract or agreement outside of its jurisdictional boundary if it requests and receives written approval, as provided, from the local agency formation commission in the county in which the extension of service is proposed. The act establishes a pilot program under which the commissions in the Counties of Napa and San Bernardino, upon making specified determinations at a noticed public hearing, may authorize a city or district to provide new or extended services outside its jurisdictional boundary and outside its sphere of influence to support existing or planned uses involving public or private properties, as provided. Existing law requires the Napa and San Bernardino commissions to submit a report to the Legislature on their participation in the pilot program, as specified, before January 1, 2020, and repeals the pilot program as of January 1, 2021. This bill would extend the January 1, 2021, repeal date with regard to the pilot program until January 1, 2026. The bill would also extend the January 1, 2020, deadline for the Napa and San Bernardino commissions to report to the Legislature to January 1, 2025, and revise the required contents of that report to include how many requests for extension of services were received on or after January 1, 2020, under these provisions. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Counties of Napa and San Bernardino.
