SECTION 65053.5-65053.7
65053.5. (a) As used in this article, the following terms have the following meanings: (1) "Military installation" means a base, camp, post, station, yard, center, homeport facility for any ship, or other facility under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Defense, as defined in paragraph (1) of subsection (e) of Section 2687 of Title 10 of the United States Code. (2) "Affected local government" means any county or city identified as located wholly or partly within the boundaries of a military installation or as having a sphere of influence over any portion of the installation with responsibility for local zoning and planning decisions. (b) The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following: (1) Because of the tremendous economic impact that military installations have on the state, it is in the best interest of the state to facilitate their retention. (2) It is the intent of the Legislature to encourage cooperation among affected local governments in their efforts to retain military installations in this state by authorizing the creation of a joint powers authority pursuant to this section. (3) The Legislature also encourages affected local governments to engage other community-based organizations in their retention activities. (c) For the purposes of this article, a local retention authority shall be recognized for each active military installation in this state. (d) A list of retention authorities or their successors, including, but not limited to, separate airport or port authorities recognized as the local retention authority for the military installations, shall be maintained by the Office of Military and Aerospace Support created pursuant to Section 13998.2. If multiple affected local governments are identified for a military installation as described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), those affected counties and cities may, by resolution, designate an existing joint powers authority or establish a joint powers authority for the purposes of this article pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 6500) of Division 7 of Title 1. (e) The state shall recognize a local retention authority for each active military installation if resolutions acknowledging the authority as the local retention authority are adopted by all county boards of supervisors and city councils identified as described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) and are forwarded to the Office of Military and Aerospace Support on or before October 1, 2004. If prior to January 1, 2004, a local government was awarded grant moneys pursuant to any predecessor to Section 13998.8 for a specific military installation and qualifies as an affected local government as described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), the recipient local government shall be recognized by the state as the local retention authority unless resolutions acknowledging a different authority are adopted by all county boards of supervisors and city councils identified as described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a), and are forwarded to the Office of Military and Aerospace Support. (f) If the necessary resolutions are not adopted within the time limit specified in subdivision (e), the Office of Military and Aerospace Support shall recognize a local retention authority for each military installation. 65053.6. The local retention authority shall be recognized by all state agencies as the local retention planning authority for the military installation. The state shall encourage the federal government and other local jurisdictions to recognize similarly the authorities designated pursuant to Section 65053.5 for the purposes of retention activities. 65053.7. This article shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2007, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, which is enacted before January 1, 2007, deletes or extends that date.
