AI Summary
This bill:
1. Requires the City of West Sacramento to achieve the urban level of flood protection by 2030, instead of the standard 2025 deadline for urban and urbanizing areas protected by project levees.
2. Adopts and approves the West Sacramento Project for flood risk reduction along the Yolo Bypass, Sacramento Bypass, and Sacramento River, which was previously authorized by the U.S. Congress in 2016.
3. Requires the Board of Trustees for Reclamation District No. 900, which is a subsidiary of the City of West Sacramento, to be composed of 5 members appointed by the City Council, and includes the parcels that compose Maintenance Area 4 within the district's boundaries.
4. Provides that if the state mandates costs on local agencies due to the bill's provisions, the state must reimburse those costs.
5. Finds that a special statute is necessary for the City of West Sacramento due to unique circumstances, including the COVID-19 pandemic and delays in federal funding, which make it challenging to achieve the urban level of flood protection by 2025.
