LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 336, Villapudua.
Enhanced infrastructure financing districts: public financing authority: members: joint powers authorities.
Existing law authorizes the legislative body of a city or a county to designate a proposed enhanced infrastructure financing district, with a governing body referred to as the public financing authority, by adopting a resolution of intention to establish the proposed district and requires the public financing authority to direct the preparation of and adopt an infrastructure financing plan and adopt a resolution to form the district, as provided. Existing law provides for the participation of an affected taxing entity, as defined, in the district, other than a county office of education, school district, or community college district. Existing law requires that the public financing authority include a majority of members from the legislative body of each participating affected taxing entity and 2 members of the public chosen by the legislative bodies of those participating affected taxing
entities, as provided.
Existing law, the Joint Exercise of Powers Act, generally authorizes 2 or more public agencies, by agreement, to jointly exercise any power common to the contracting parties, as specified. Existing law authorizes the agreement to set forth the manner by which the joint powers authority will be governed.
This bill would specify that any member of the legislative body of a participating affected taxing entity who serves as a member of the public financing authority of an enhanced infrastructure financing district, as described above, may also serve as a member of the governing body of an agency or entity formed pursuant to an agreement for the joint exercise of power that the participating affected taxing entity has entered into in accordance with the Joint Exercise of Powers Act.
