CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2021–2022 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 2861

Introduced by Assembly Member Waldron

February 18, 2022

An act relating to parks and recreation.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2861, as introduced, Waldron. Parks and recreation: land transfer: YMCA of the County of San Diego.

The Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2000 (the Villaraigosa-Keeley Act) authorizes the issuance of bonds for the purpose of financing a program for the acquisition, development, improvement, rehabilitation, restoration, enhancement, and protection of park, recreational, cultural, historical, fish and wildlife, lake, riparian, reservoir, river, and coastal resources, as specified. That bond act prohibits the use of the grant funds unless the applicant has agreed to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, using the property only for the purposes for which the grant was made and making no other use or sale or other disposition of the property, except as authorized by a specific act of the Legislature.

This bill would authorize the YMCA of the County of San Diego to convey fee title in lands funded by the Murray-Hayden Urban Parks and Youth Service Program of the Department of Parks and Recreation with grant moneys received pursuant to the Villaraigosa-Keeley Act, as provided, to the American Heritage Education Foundation, as specified.

This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the YMCA of the County of San Diego.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Notwithstanding any other law, the YMCA of the County of San Diego may convey fee title in lands funded by the Murray-Hayden Urban Parks and Youth Service Program of the Department of Parks and Recreation with grant moneys received pursuant to the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2000 (Chapter 1.692 (commencing with Section 5096.300) of Division 5 of the Public Resources Code) (“Villaraigosa-Keeley Act”), pursuant to all provisions of the Villaraigosa-Keeley Act that are required for purposes of the conveyance of fee title in those lands, to the American Heritage Education Foundation, subject to those lands being restricted in the conveyance instrument, to the satisfaction of the Department of Parks and Recreation, to be maintained in accordance with the Villaraigosa-Keeley Act and the terms and conditions contained in the original grant agreement entered into thereunder with the YMCA of the County of San Diego.

SEC. 2.

The Legislature finds and declares that a special statute is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique need of the YMCA of the County of San Diego to convey fee title in lands funded by the Murray-Hayden Urban Parks and Youth Service Program of the Department of Parks and Recreation with grant moneys received pursuant to the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2000 (Chapter 1.692 (commencing with Section 5096.300) of Division 5 of the Public Resources Code) (“Villaraigosa-Keeley Act”).
