Item 16
/ Meeting Date 4/9/85
ITEM TITLE: a. Resolution / 9f. Opposing SB 1201 (Ellis) Relating to the
Setting of Rental Rates for Maritime Tenants on Port District
Property
b. Resolution 7/y sing SB 1202 (Ellis) Relating to the
Election of San Diego Unified Port Commissioners
SUBMI'r1 BY: Assistant City Attorney (4/5ths Vote: Yes No X )
SB 1201 and SB 1202 introduced by Senator Ellis relate to rental of tidelands
and the election of Port District Commissioners respectively.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolutions.
BOARDS/ccti'aSSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A
DISCUSSION:
On March 8, 1985, Senator Ellis introduced SB 1201 and SB 1202. SB 1201
authorizes the State Lands Commission to consider the appropriate rental rate
for tidelands and provides that said Commission consider the use of tidelands
for maritime industry. Presently, the rental of tidelands has an arbitration
provision for the local settlement and resolution of said rental rate. This
bill, if adopted, would remove this local control to the state level, thus,
further eroding the ability of local jurisdictions to address specific
concerns.
SB 1202 specifically relates to the election of the seven member San Diego
Unified Port District Commissioners. Said Commissioners are presently
appointed by the legislative bodies of the Port District cities. The adoption
of this bill would require that the Port District Commissioners be elected by
the citizens of those cities. The election of the Port District Commissioners
would weaken the ability of the City Council to hold the Commissioners
accountable for their activities. An elected Port District Commissioner could
only be removed pursuant to the recall provisions of the Election Code. On
March 12, 1985, your City Council voted to oppose SB 1202.
The adoption of the proposed resolutions will indicate the City's opposition
to these bills.
