CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION
| Assembly Bill | No. 421 |
| Introduced by Assembly Member Waldron |
February 07, 2019 |
An act to amend Sections 2103, 2032, 2034, and 2036 of the Streets and Highways Code, relating to transportation, and making an appropriation therefor.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 421, as introduced, Waldron.
Transportation finance: De Luz Community Services District.
Article XIX of the California Constitution restricts the use of fuel excise tax revenues imposed by the state on fuels used in motor vehicles upon public streets and highways to expenditure on highway and certain mass transit purposes. Existing law provides for the deposit of these revenues in the Highway Users Tax Account, and appropriates those revenues for various purposes. With respect to the portion of these revenues that is derived from increases in the motor vehicle fuel excise tax beginning in 2010, existing law requires, after certain allocations are made, the Controller to allocate the remaining amount of this portion of revenues 44% to the state transportation improvement program, 12% to the State Highway Operation and Protection Program, and 44% to cities and counties for local street and road purposes.
This bill would require the
Controller to allocate a portion of these revenues available for counties to the De Luz Community Services District for local street and road purposes as though the De Luz Community Services District were a county. The bill would thereby make an appropriation.
Existing law creates the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program to address deferred maintenance on the state highway system and the local street and road system. Existing law provides for the deposit of various funds, including revenues from certain increases in fuel taxes and vehicle fees enacted in 2017, for the program in the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account. After certain allocations for the program are made, existing law requires the remaining funds available for the program to be continuously appropriated 50% for maintenance of the state highway system or to the State Highway Operation and Protection Program and 50% for apportionment to cities and counties by the Controller pursuant to a
specified formula. Before receiving an apportionment of funds under the program from the Controller in a fiscal year, existing law requires an eligible city or county to submit to the California Transportation Commission a list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds. Existing law requires the commission to report to the Controller the cities and counties that have submitted a list of projects and requires the Controller, upon receipt of the report, to apportion funds to eligible cities and counties included in the report, as specified. Existing law requires cities and counties to maintain their existing commitment of local funds for street, road, and highway purposes in order to remain eligible for an allocation or apportionment of these funds.
This bill would require the Controller to allocate a portion of these revenues available for counties to the De Luz Community Services District pursuant to the specified formula after the
Controller receives a report from the commission indicating that the district submitted a list of projects proposed to be funded with these funds. The bill would thereby make an appropriation. The bill would exempt the district from the maintenance of effort requirement. The bill would make other conforming changes.
This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the De Luz Community Services District.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1.
The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a) The De Luz Community Services District (district) is comprised of 33 square miles within the Santa Rosa Plateau, and is bounded by the cities of Temecula and Murrieta on the east, Fallbrook on the south, and unincorporated areas of the County of San Diego on the west, which includes the United States Marine Corps base Camp Pendleton. District zoning is primarily agriculture-residential with parcel sizes ranging between 5 and 20 acres, and the district has a population of approximately 2,300.
(b) In 1979, the residents and landowners petitioned for, and the Board of Supervisors for the County of Riverside granted,
the formation of a community services district pursuant to Section 61010 of the Government Code. The landowners’ vision was to provide services to the agriculture producers and the residents of this rural area within the Santa Rosa Mountains.
(c) The County of Riverside granted the district authority to operate and maintain roads, streets, and culverts, to provide for supplemental law enforcement services, and to provide for the collection of solid waste and rubbish. Funding for all district services comes from voter-approved special taxes and assessments. All dedicated public roadway right-of-way was transferred to the district with the exception of two highways that remain the maintenance responsibility of the County of Riverside.
(d) The district operates and maintains approximately 86 miles of dedicated public-access roadways, which are built and maintained to state and county
standards. There are no gated or restricted roadways within the 86 miles of roadways maintained by the district, which are permanently open to public access.
(e) All other public streets, highways, and roadways in the state are funded by revenues derived from excise taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel, sales taxes on these fuels, and vehicle license fees. Certain portions of these revenues are allocated by the Controller to cities and counties for local street and road purposes. With respect to counties, the Controller allocates these revenues using formulas based upon vehicle registration and the number of miles of county roadways. Special districts are not included in these allocations.
(f) Those who created the district never envisioned the growth and development that has occurred in the southwest Riverside County and north San Diego County area.
(g) Over the past 40 years, regional urbanization has created significant pressure on the district, which is now becoming a rural pocket of agricultural land surrounded by a dense and growing population. Motorists are increasingly using district roadways to transit between urban centers. One primary district roadway, Sandia Creek, provides access between Temecula and Fallbrook has recently experienced a 300-percent increase in traffic volume. This increased traffic is primarily composed of commuters traveling from housing areas to the east (Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, and Hemet) to employment centers in the west (Fallbrook, Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Camp Pendleton).
(h) The district has had to implement additional traffic safety measures, incur increased levels of roadway maintenance, and request the Department of the California Highway Patrol to increase enforcement. These costs are
borne entirely by the district through special taxes.
(i) The De Luz Community Services District is unique in that it is the only community services district in the state that operates and maintains public access roadways without the benefit of gas tax and vehicle license fee revenues to support that operation and maintenance.
(j) It is the intent of the Legislature to allow the De Luz Community Services District to receive its share of revenues to support the operations and maintenance of 86 miles of public roadways within the district, using the same formulas that are used to allocate these revenues to counties that have the same responsibilities to operate and maintain public access roads.

Section 2103 of the Streets and Highways Code is amended to read:2103.
(a) Notwithstanding Section 13340 of the Government Code, of the net revenues deposited to the credit of the Highway Users Tax Account that are derived from the increases in the rates of taxes that are imposed pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 7360 and Section 7361.1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, all of the following shall occur on a monthly basis:(1) (A) By the 15th day of every month, the Treasurer’s office, in consultation with the Department of Finance, shall notify the Controller of the amount of debt service that will be paid on each transportation bond during that month.
