AB 1362: San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District: board of trustees: appointment of members.

Existing law, the Mosquito Abatement and Vector Control District Law, specifies the procedures for district formation, the procedures for the selection of the district board of trustees and officers, and the powers and duties of the board. Existing law authorizes the board of supervisors to appoint one person to the board of trustees, and the city council of each city that is located in whole or in part within the district to appoint one person to the board of trustees, in the case of a district that is located entirely within a single county and contains both incorporated territory and unincorporated territory.

This bill would authorize a change in the appointment of the board of trustees of the San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District. If a majority of the legislative bodies that include the city councils in, and the Board of Supervisors of, the County of San Mateo adopt resolutions approving the change in board composition and forward a copy of the resolution to the local agency formation commission, the bill would require the commission to adopt procedures for the reorganization of the board of trustees of the San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District. The bill would require the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors to appoint 2 trustees and would require the city selection committee in the County of San Mateo to appoint one trustee from each county supervisorial district pursuant to this method of appointment, as specified. By imposing new duties on the local agency formation commission, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity for a special law.

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.
