Chapter 1. Title And Declaration Of Policy of California Government Code >> Title 7.85. >> Chapter 1.
This title shall be known and may be cited as the "Fort Ord
Reuse Authority Act."
The Legislature hereby declares the following goals to be
the policy of the State of California:
(a) To facilitate the transfer and reuse of the real and other
property comprising the military reservation known as Fort Ord with
all practical speed.
(b) To minimize the disruption caused by the base's closure on the
civilian economy and the people of the Monterey Bay area.
(c) To provide for the reuse and development of the base area in
ways that enhance the economy and quality of life of the Monterey Bay
community.
(d) To maintain and protect the unique environmental resources of
the area.
The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
(a) The policy set forth in Section 67651 is most likely to be
achieved if an effective governmental structure exists to plan for,
finance, and carry out the transfer and reuse of the base in a
cooperative, coordinated, balanced, and decisive manner.
(b) The County of Monterey and the Cities of Monterey, Salinas,
Carmel, and Pacific Grove have requested the Legislature to establish
a governmental structure for Fort Ord.
