CRD, Rebuilding Authority & Special District with Limited Authority for the Recovery

Last week, the CA state senate passed SB782, whichauthorized a city or county to adopt a resolutionproviding for the division of taxes of any participating entity without following specified procedures for the preparation and adoption of an infrastructure financing plan, if certain conditions are met. This enables our City and County lawmakers to create special districts or from authorities with limited powers, and a funding stream, to spearhead the recovery of Pacific Palisades and other communities, post-disaster.

Supervisor Lindsey Horvath has introduced a motion to create a Rebuilding Authority for the Palisades and Eaton Fires:

This follows a recommendation made by the Blue Ribbon Commission, which presented ideas to a small group of Pacific Palisades leaders during a May 5th convening. That session explored the science and policy behind the proposals and sparked the idea of a Pacific Palisades Authority—an initiative PRC has since been pursuing with lawmakers, including Senator Ben Allen and Councilmember Traci Park.
