MTG. 9-1 g-0 \ AMENDMENT TO 2001 LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM
DEPT. CA
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Amend the Legislative Platform for 2001 to support legislation opposing the creation of a
county airport authority.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On June 6, 2001, the City Council adopted a Legislative Platform stating its position on
issues of importance to the community. One of those categories on which the City stated its
Legislative Platform is local land use. Since its adoption, AB 93 (Peace) has been
introduced which proposes to create the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. The
Authority would have the power of eminent domain; it could condemn private property for
purposes expressly or reasonably implied by it; it could condemn public property if for a more
necessary public use. The City Council has expressed opposition to AB 93 as it is currently
proposed.
Therefore, staff proposes adding plank 11 .(f) to the Legislative Platform to read as follows:
“Oppose legislation creating a county airport authority such as proposed AB 93 or similar
legislative proposals unless local land use power is preserved, eminent domain is not
included or exercised only with the consent of the affected jurisdiction, governance is by an
elected body or by elected representatives from other agencies, and no prejudice to existing
financial inter-modal resources.”
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
