(a)
The department may prepare or contract for the preparation of plans for, acquire or contract for the acquisition of, construct or contract for the construction of, develop and improve, or contract for the development and improvement of any portion of coastal small craft harbors that are normally nonrevenue producing, such as jetties, breakwaters, dredging, seawalls, piers, and communication centers.
(b)
This program may be conducted in cooperation with the federal government for harbor development along the coastline of California. In those cooperative projects, the department may assume the role of “local sponsor” as that term is used in agreements with the federal government with regard to those projects referred to in
this section if before the department assumes the role of “local sponsor” it determines to its satisfaction that the local entity that would otherwise be designated as local sponsor cannot fulfill the obligations commensurate with that designation.
(c)
If the nonrevenue producing facilities are to be a portion of an existing harbor, the department, prior to construction of those facilities, shall enter into an agreement with the local governing body of the harbor that provides that revenues from harbor operations and harbor district taxes shall serve as security for repayment of the state contribution to the cost of construction and the local governing body shall assume responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the facilities constructed under the agreement.
(d)
If nonrevenue producing facilities are to be constructed at a location where no harbor operation is being
conducted by a governmental entity, the department may initiate construction of the facilities after securing an agreement with the appropriate local jurisdiction that the local entity shall assume the responsibility of operation and maintenance of the facilities, as well as repayment of all related costs of the department, as agreed to in writing.
(e)
Harbor facilities provided by the department pursuant to this section shall be defined as nonrevenue producing features for the purpose of the term of repayment under subdivision (a) of Section 71.8.
