Ontario International Airport.

Existing law provides for creation of airport districts. Existing law provides for transfer of the San Diego International Airport from the San Diego Unified Port District to the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. This bill would establish the Ontario International Airport Authority as a local entity of regional government. The bill would establish the membership of the board of directors of the authority and set forth the powers of the authority. The bill would authorize the authority to enter into an agreement with the City of Los Angeles to facilitate the sale of, or the transfer of management and operational control of, the Ontario International Airport to the authority. The bill would require the authority, in cooperation with the City of Los Angeles and the City of Ontario, to develop a transition plan to facilitate the sale of, or the transfer of management and operational control of, the Ontario International Airport to the authority. The bill would also require the authority, the City of Los Angeles, the City of Ontario, the County of San Bernardino, other local and regional agencies, and the Department of Transportation to cooperate to develop effective surface transportation access to the Ontario International Airport. To the extent these provisions would impose additional duties on entities of local government, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
