. (a) A local agency may, by ordinance or by resolution
adopted after notice and hearing, establish a district to provide for
the improvement or maintenance of natural habitat. The local agency
may perform those functions or contract with the state, another local
agency, or a special district to perform those functions. If a local
agency establishes a district, it may provide for the levy of
assessments for not more than 30 years to pay the cost and incidental
expenses of implementing a long-term natural habitat maintenance
plan approved by the Department of Fish and Game pursuant to Section
2901 of the Fish and Game Code. Any assessments levied pursuant to
this section shall be levied only in accordance with a plan for the
conservation of natural habitat approved by the Department of Fish
and Game. No plan shall be approved by the Department of Fish and
Game unless it contains provisions for the recovery of all costs
incurred by the department in its review of the plan for the
conservation of natural habitat.
(b) The legislative body of the local agency establishing a district shall serve as the legislative body of the district.
