City Implementation of AB 811

• Identification of the kinds of public works that may be financed

• A description of the boundaries of the area within which contractual assessments may be entered into

• description of the proposed arrangements for financing the program.

AB811 also directs an appropriate city official to prepare a report to include:

The terms and conditions that would be agreed to by a property owner within the contractual assessment area and the city and identification of the types of facilities that may be financed through the use of contractual assessments.

AB811 also authorizes a legislative body of any city to determine that it would be in the public interest to designate an area within which authorized city officials and property owners may enter into contractual assessments to finance specified installation of distributed generation renewable energy sources or energy efficiency improvements that are permanently fixed to real property.

The bill requires a city's resolution of intention to include:

• The kinds of distributed generation renewable energy sources or energy efficiency improvements that may be financed
• A statement specifying that it is in the public interest to finance those distributed generation renewable energy sources or energy efficiency improvements.
• The types of distributed generation renewable energy sources or energy efficiency improvements that may be financed through the use of contractual assessments.

The bill authorizes a property owner, upon written consent of an authorized city official, to purchase directly the related equipment and materials for the installation of distributed generation renewable energy sources or energy efficiency improvements and to contract directly for the installation of those sources or improvements.

AB 811 takes effect immediately as an urgency statute.
