Existing law, the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000, provides the authority and procedures for the initiation, conduct, and completion of changes of organization and reorganization of cities and districts by local agency formation commissions. Existing law establishes the procedures for the dissolution of the existence of a district and sets forth provisions for winding up the affairs of a dissolved district, as specified. Existing law generally authorizes the dissolution of a district without voter approval, except as specified. Notwithstanding those provisions, existing law subjects the dissolution of a health care district to voter approval. This bill would require the Alameda County local agency formation commission to order the dissolution of the Eden Township Healthcare District if that health care district meets certain criteria, as specified. The bill would subject a dissolution under these provisions to specified provisions of the act that require dissolution by voter approval only if a majority protest exists, as specified. By requiring a higher level of service from the Alameda County local agency formation commission to analyze the criteria described above, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Eden Township Healthcare District in Alameda County. 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.
