CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 3172

Introduced by Assembly Member Gray

February 21, 2020

An act relating to park property.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 3172, as introduced, Gray. Park property: City of Modesto: Beard Brook Park.

The Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2000 (the Villaraigosa-Keeley Act) authorizes the issuance of bonds for the purpose of financing a program for the acquisition, development, improvement, rehabilitation, restoration, enhancement, and protection of park, recreational, cultural, historical, fish and wildlife, lake, riparian, reservoir, river, and coastal resources, as specified. That bond act prohibits the use of the grant funds unless the applicant has agreed to certain conditions, including, but not limited to, using the property only for the purposes for which the grant was made and making no other use or sale or other disposition of the property, except as authorized by a specific act of the Legislature.

This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would authorize the City of Modesto to dispose of all or a portion of Beard Brook Park acquired or developed with grant moneys from that bond act, subject to the acquisition of property of equal or greater value, as approved by the Department of Parks and Recreation, and at no cost to the state, as provided.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

It is the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would authorize the City of Modesto to dispose of all or a portion of Beard Brook Park acquired or developed with grant moneys from the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2000 (the Villaraigosa-Keeley Act) (Chapter 1.692 (commencing with Section 5096.300) of Division 5 of the Public Resources Code), subject to the acquisition of property of equal or greater value, as approved by the Department of Parks and Recreation, to be used for park purposes, subject to the requirements of the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2000, and at no cost to the state.
