Gold Coast Transit DistrictDetachments

Section § 107024

Explanation

A district can remove territory through a supermajority vote, requiring at least 80% of the board's nonweighted vote, but only if all legal and financial obligations are settled first.

If territory is removed, it's still responsible for its share of any existing debt. This change takes effect once notice is given per the Government Code.

Authorities, like tax assessors and the State Board of Equalization, must be informed of the territory's detachment to update tax records accordingly.

(a)CA Public Utilities Code § 107024(a) Territory within the district may be detached from the district by a supermajority vote of the directors, which shall be at least 80 percent of the nonweighted vote of the existing board provided that all pending legal and financial obligations have been satisfied.
(b)CA Public Utilities Code § 107024(b) The detachment of territory from the district shall become effective upon giving of the notice required in Section 57204 of the Government Code, provided that the detached territory shall not be relieved from liability for taxation for the payment of any bonded indebtedness existing at the time of detachment.
(c)CA Public Utilities Code § 107024(c) Notice of the detachment of territory from the district shall be given to each assessor whose roll is used for a tax levy made pursuant to this part and with the State Board of Equalization pursuant to Chapter 8 (commencing with Section 54900) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code.
