	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1757, as amended, Waldron.  Local government finance.
  North County Transit District.  
   Existing law provides for creation of the North County Transit
District, with various powers and duties relative to the planning and
operation of a transit system in north San Diego County. Existing
law provides for the district to be governed by a board of directors,
and requires compensation in the amount of $75 per day, not to
exceed $300 per month, be paid to each board member or alternate for
attending board meetings and authorizes similar, additional amounts
for attending meetings of other public agencies.  
   This bill would instead provide for payments of $150 per meeting,
not to exceed $750 per month, for board members, or alternates when
acting on behalf of board members, for attending board meetings or
meetings of other public agencies. The bill would thereby impose a
state-mandated local program.  
   Existing law generally requires the North County Transit District
to award contracts for construction that exceed $10,000 to the lowest
responsible bidder after competitive bidding.  
   This bill would change this amount to $50,000.  
   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.  
   Existing law, in the case of any county assuming the
responsibilities of an independent local health special district
created pursuant to a specified statute, requires an increase in the
state assistance payments, as defined, that are made to that county.
 
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this
provision. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program:  no
  yes  .
