SB2010 - SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS CONSERVANCY EXPANSION OF JURISDICTION BEYOND THE SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS

Recommendation:

That the City Council take a position of opposition to SB2010 and that staff be directed to track the bill and communicate the City's position to the legislation.

Background:

SB2010 would, among other things, expand the jurisdiction of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy to include most of Los Angeles County and apparently Hermosa Beach as well. The proposal is opposed by the League of California Cities as a taking of local control from City Councils. In effect, a more distant level of government would perhaps have authority over local issues or the City would have to seek permission from the conservancy, though this is not completely clear in the legislation now.
