LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 88, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review. State government.
(1) The California Public Records Act requires state and local agencies to make public records available for inspection by the public, subject to specified criteria and with specified exceptions. The act exempts from public inspection specified information regarding persons paid by the state to provide in-home supportive services. Existing law requires copies of names, addresses, home telephone numbers, and personal cellular telephone numbers of those persons to be made available, upon request, to an exclusive bargaining agent and to any labor organization seeking representation rights, as specified.
This bill would additionally require copies of personal email addresses of those persons to be made available to an exclusive bargaining agent and to any labor organization seeking representation rights. By increasing the duties of local officials with respect to the disclosure of public records, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(2) Existing law generally authorizes the Director of General Services, with the consent of the agency concerned, to let any real property owned by the state for a period not to exceed 5 years. Existing law authorizes the Department of General Services to acquire real property to operate and maintain motor vehicle parking facilities, as specified. Existing law authorizes the department to enter into arrangements with other public and state agencies for joint use of these parking facilities, as specified. Existing law requires the department to deposit revenues received from parking fees at motor vehicle parking facilities owned by the department or other state agencies in the General Fund for expenditure by the department for the construction, operation, and maintenance of motor vehicle parking facilities under the jurisdiction of the department or any other state agency, and thereby creates a continuously appropriated fund.
This bill would authorize the department to enter into one or more leases, as lessor or lessee, and other related agreements with the Capitol Area Development Authority (CADA) under which CADA will be responsible for developing a parking structure and retail space that is located on specified property located in the City of Sacramento. The bill would require the R Street parking structure project to comply with specified requirements. The bill would authorize CADA to enter into a financing arrangement for the development, design, and construction of the R Street parking structure project through the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank, subject to specified requirements. The bill would authorize the department to charge state employees and the general public for use of the structure. The bill would require the department to deposit parking revenues into the Motor Vehicle Parking Facilities Money Account. By depositing additional revenue into a continuously appropriated fund, this bill would make an appropriation. The bill would provide that funds deposited into the Motor Vehicle Parking Facilities Money Account are available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to the department to make specified lease payments, and then to be used consistent with the purposes of the Motor Vehicle Parking Facilities Money Account.
(3) The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.
This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.
(4) 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 no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
(5) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: YES   Fiscal Committee: YES   Local Program: YES
