SECTION 3301-3307

3301. It is the intent of the Legislature to vitalize the
California Exposition and State Fair by creating a new entity in
state government managed by a board of directors with sufficient
autonomy for efficient operation balanced by appropriate state
oversight. The board of directors shall develop a policy which
provides managerial and fiscal responsibility and shall work towards
a goal of fiscal independence from state General Fund support. The
board of directors shall develop a policy which provides for an
innovative program including the concept of an agriculturally themed
exposition which would communicate the issues surrounding the
production and marketing of food, fiber, and plant material to the
general public and such other concepts as are feasible.

3302. No changes shall be made in the uses of the flood plain on
California Exposition and State Fair property until the board has
adopted a management plan for the flood plain area which complies
with the law concerning Bushy Lake Preservation in Chapter 9
(commencing with Section 5830) of Division 5 of the Public Resources
Code and with the California Environmental Quality Act (Division 13
(commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code).

3303. As used in this part, "board" or "board of directors" means
the Board of Directors of the California Exposition and State Fair.

3304. All records, information, equipment, and real and personal
property held by the Department of Parks and Recreation relating to
the former California Exposition and State Fair administered and
managed by the Department of Parks and Recreation shall be
transferred to the California Exposition and State Fair created by
Section 3311.

3305. All civil service employees of the Division of Exposition and
State Fair of the Department of Parks and Recreation shall retain
all of their positions, status, rights, privileges, and benefits. The
California Exposition and State Fair shall not be required to retain
any unnecessary officer or employee. The Department of Parks and
Recreation shall endeavor to transfer as many of the affected
employees as possible to other positions within the Department of
Parks and Recreation. The California Exposition and State Fair
created by Section 3311 shall endeavor to employ as many of the
affected employees as possible.

3306. The California Exposition and State Fair created by Section
3311 shall assume all of the obligation for any revenue bonds issued
pursuant to Chapter 1072 of the Statutes of 1957.
Nothing in this part shall impair any of the rights given the
holders of bonds sold by the State Public Works Board pursuant to the
State Building Construction Act of 1955 (Part 10b (commencing with
Section 15800) of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code).

3307. (a) All activities conducted at the California Exposition and
State Fair are subject to the noise control ordinance, Chapter 66
(commencing with Section 66.101) of the Sacramento City Code, adopted
by the City of Sacramento and in effect on December 1, 1983.
Amendments to the ordinance made after December 1, 1983, are not
applicable to the California Exposition and State Fair.
