AB 1924: Sacramento Regional Transit District.

(1)The Sacramento Regional Transit District Act provides for the formation of the Sacramento Regional Transit District, with specified powers and duties related to providing public transit services. The act authorizes the district to comprise the Cities of Citrus Heights, Davis, Elk Grove, Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Roseville, Sacramento, West Sacramento, and Woodland, the territory of the County of Sacramento that is the same area as the urban service area of the county, and other specified portions of the County of Yolo, provided those cities and counties have agreed to annexation by the district, as specified.

This bill would authorize the district to also comprise the Cities of Galt and Isleton, and the unincorporated portions of the County of Sacramento where the county has declared a need for the district to operate, provided the cities and county agree to annexation, as specified.

(2)The act establishes a board of directors and vests the board with government of the district. The act requires the composition of the first board of directors to consist of 4 members appointed by the City Council of the City of Sacramento and 3 members appointed by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Sacramento. The act requires the number of members of the board of directors to be increased, as provided.

This bill would reduce the number of members that may be appointed to the board of directors by the City Council of the City of Sacramento from 4 to 3, would delete obsolete provisions referring to the first board of directors, and would make conforming changes.
