				<html:p>The Legislature finds and declares that a special statute is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because the unique geography and rural nature of the County of Mendocino, combined with a state highway dividing many communities throughout the county, place unique burdens on local governmental entities in the County of Mendocino when relocating utilities for transportation projects.</html:p>
