(a) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that revenues generated at Santa Monica State Beach may be expected to exceed the total costs incurred by the City of Santa Monica in caring for, maintaining, operating, administering, improving, and developing the unit and that a portion of those revenues may appropriately be made available to provide for the safety and convenience of the general public in the use and enjoyment of, and the enhancement of recreational experiences at, the Santa Monica City pier and other related shorefront facilities owned and operated by the City of Santa Monica.
(b) Accordingly, notwithstanding Section 5080.32, whenever revenues generated from all sources at Santa Monica State Beach exceed the actual costs incurred by the City of Santa Monica in caring for, maintaining, operating, administering, improving, and developing that unit and exceed any foreseeable needs for the further improvement and development of that unit, the surplus shall be available for appropriation in the Budget Act to the city, as a local assistance grant, in the succeeding fiscal year for the repair of the Santa Monica pier and the improvement and development of parking facilities providing access to the pier until that repair, improvement, and development is complete. After the repair, improvement, and development is completed, 25 percent of the excess revenues shall be available for appropriation in the Budget Act to the city as a local assistance grant for the further improvement and development of the pier and other shorefront facilities owned and operated by the City of Santa Monica that adjoin the state beach.
(c) The amount of any surplus shall be determined by the director, and the department may perform audits as may be necessary to determine this amount.
