	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 650, as amended, Yee.  Parks:   Real
property:  City of Half Moon Bay. 
   The Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control,
River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006, an initiative statute
approved by the voters at the November 7, 2006, statewide general
election, among other things, makes $400,000,000 in bond funds
available to the Department of Parks and Recreation for competitive
grants for local and regional parks.  
   This bill would appropriate $10,000,000 of the $400,000,000
available from the bond act to the Department of Parks and Recreation
for a grant to the City of Half Moon Bay to purchase certain
property known as the Beachwood Property for the sole purpose of
development as a public park.  
   The bill would provide that in any case in which the provisions of
the bill and the initiative conflict, the initiative shall prevail.
 
   The Bergeson-Peace Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank
Act generally sets forth the duties and authority of the California
Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank in administering various
programs for economic development activities in the state. Bank
activities may be funded through the California Infrastructure Bank
Fund, which is continuously appropriated.  
   This bill would require the bank to loan $10,000,000 to the City
of Half Moon Bay to purchase certain property known as the Beachwood
Property to assist the city relating to its settlement of a specified
case, which would result in an appropriation. 
   This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as
an urgency statute.
   Vote: 2/3. Appropriation: yes. Fiscal committee: yes.
