The district shall be formed upon the adoption of a
resolution by the City Council of the City of Sacramento and the

(a) The boundaries of the district shall include (1) the
City of Sacramento and the City of Rancho Cordova; (2) the
unincorporated territory of the County of Sacramento that is within
the urban service area, as determined by the Board of Supervisors,
and not otherwise divided from the rest of the unincorporated

city not previously described in this subdivision; (3) a city or
county listed in Section 102051 that has annexed to the district
pursuant to the process specified in Section 102055; and (4) a city
incorporated on or after January 1, 2016, which city consists
entirely of territory that was included in the district prior to the
city's incorporation.
(b) (1) The boundaries of the district shall not be affected by
the incorporation of any territory wholly or partly within the
boundaries of the district or by reason of annexation to or
detachment from any city or territory wholly or partly within the
boundaries of the district, except as provided in this section.
(2) Where territory outside the district is annexed to any city
included in the district, that territory shall, upon the completion
of the annexation proceeding, be deemed incorporated into and annexed
to the district.
(3) Where territory is incorporated as a new city, on or after

district, the entire territory shall, upon completion of the
incorporation proceeding, be deemed incorporated into and annexed to
the district.

territory or within one-half mile of any outside boundary of the
annexed territory and (B) no transit service is planned by the
district, as evidenced by the district's adopted short-range transit
plan, for the annexed territory or within one-half mile of any
outside boundary of the annexed territory within five years of the
annexation, in which case that territory may be detached from the
district if the Sacramento County Local Agency Formation Commission
determines, during the annexation proceedings, that the area would be
better served by the annexing city than the district. The detachment
may be accomplished without proceeding with the detachment process
in Section 102056.
(c) Whenever territory is deemed incorporated into and annexed to
the district pursuant to this section, that territory shall be
subject to taxation, in accordance with the assessable valuation of
the property in that territory for general district purposes and for

district.
The district may operate and exercise the powers under this
part within any city, provided that the district shall have no power
to levy an ad valorem property tax within the boundaries of any city
that is not within the boundaries of the district as defined in
Section 102052.5.
The district may operate and exercise the powers under this
part within all or a part of the unincorporated area of any county,
provided that the district shall have no power to levy an ad valorem
property tax within the unincorporated area that is not within the
boundaries of the district as defined in Section 102052.5.
(a) Any city or county listed in Section 102051 may be
annexed to the district in the manner provided in this section.
(b) The legislative body of the city or county proposed to be
annexed shall agree in writing with the board of directors upon the
terms and conditions of annexation, which agreement, among other
things, may provide for the levy and collection of special taxes
within the city or unincorporated area of the county in addition to
the taxes otherwise provided for in this part; the fixing of rates,
rentals, and charges differing from those fixed or existing elsewhere
within the district; the incurring or assumption of indebtedness;
the making of a payment or payments; or the transfer of property,
real and personal, and other assets to the district by the city or
county.
(a) Territory within the district may be detached from the
district by a supermajority vote of the board of directors, which
shall be at least 80 percent of the nonweighted vote of the existing
board, and by a majority vote of the governing body of the territory
proposed to be detached, provided that the detached territory shall
not be relieved from liability for taxation for the payment of any
bonded indebtedness existing at the time of detachment, and provided
that all other pending legal and financial obligations have been
resolved by mutual agreement.
(b) The detachment of territory from the district shall become
effective upon giving of the notice required in Section 57204 of the
Government Code.
(c) Notice of the detachment of territory from the district shall
be given to each assessor whose roll is used for a tax levy made
pursuant to this part and to the State Board of Equalization pursuant

of Title 5 of the Government Code.
