SECTION 35120-35124
35120. The Santa Clara County Open-Space Authority is hereby created on February 1, 1993. The maximum jurisdiction of the authority shall include all areas within the county, except those areas of the county presently within the boundaries, including the sphere of influence, of the midpeninsula Regional Open-Space District. Each city situated within the maximum jurisdictional boundaries shall pass a resolution stating its intent to be included within the authority's jurisdiction by January 15, 1993. These resolutions shall be transmitted to the board of supervisors. Any city which fails to pass that resolution or which formally states its intent to not participate shall be excluded from the authority's jurisdiction. The creation of the authority is not subject to review by the Santa Clara County Local Agency Formation Commission. 35121. (a) If, after the establishment of the authority's boundaries pursuant to Section 35120, territory within the authority is annexed to a city which is outside the authority, that territory may be detached from the authority pursuant to the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Division 3 (commencing with Section 56000) of Title 5 of the Government Code). (b) If, after the establishment of the authority's boundaries pursuant to Section 35120, a city which is outside the authority's jurisdiction desires to be included within the authority's jurisdiction, the city shall adopt a resolution as provided in Section 35120. Following the adoption of the resolution, the territory within the city may be annexed to the authority pursuant to the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 (Division 3 (commencing with Section 56000) of Title 5 of the Government Code). If the authority levies a special tax or an assessment and proposes to extend that special tax or assessment to the territory proposed to be annexed, the annexation shall not be complete until the authority complies with the procedures for levying the special tax or the assessment in that territory, including notice, hearing, and an election, in that territory, when required. 35123. (a) Commencing in 2008, the elections of members of the governing board shall be held during the statewide election in November of the year that the term expires. (b) The elections and the terms of office of the members of the governing board shall be determined pursuant to the Uniform District Election Law (Part 4 (commencing with Section 10500) of Division 10 of the Elections Code). (c) Any vacancy in the office of a member of the governing board shall be filled pursuant to Section 1780 of the Government Code. 35124. Each member of the governing board may receive compensation in the amount of seventy-five dollars ($75) for attending each meeting of the governing board, not to exceed two meetings in any calendar month, together with any actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of his or her official duties required or authorized by the governing board. The determination of whether a member's activities on any specific day are compensable shall be made pursuant to Article 2.3 (commencing with Section 53232) of Chapter 2 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code. Reimbursement for expenses is subject to Section 53232.2 and 53232.3 of the Government Code.
