Existing law, the Improvement Act of 1911, authorizes the legislative body of any public agency, as defined, to determine that it would be convenient, advantageous, and in the public interest to designate an area within the public agency, as specified, within which authorized public agency officials and property owners may enter into voluntary contractual assessments to finance the installation of distributed generation renewable energy sources or energy or water efficiency improvements that are permanently fixed to real property, as specified. Existing law requires the legislative body to make these determinations by adopting a resolution indicating its intention to do so and requires that the resolution include specified information and directs an appropriate public agency official to prepare a prescribed report. This bill would enact the Seismic Safety Finance Act, which would expand these provisions to also apply to contractual assessments to finance the installation of seismic strengthening improvements, as defined, that are permanently fixed to real property, as specified. The bill would define "public agency," for purposes of financing the installation of seismic strengthening improvements, to mean a city, county, or city and county. The bill would also prohibit a public agency from permitting a property owner to participate in a contractual assessment program if the total amount of assessments and taxes on the property exceeds 5% of the property's market value, as specified. The bill would require the preliminary report issued in connection with the contractual assessment program to include criteria for determining the underwriting requirements, as well as safeguards to be used to limit the total annual property tax and assessments on the property, as specified.
