Article 2. Authority To Conduct Proceedings of California Government Code >> Division 1. >> Title 6. >> Chapter 5. >> Article 2.

Authority to conduct proceedings is conferred upon the legislative body of a local agency pursuant to this article.

The legislative body which ordered the original bonds issued has complete authority to conduct proceedings.

If the district lies entirely within a city, the city legislative body has complete authority to conduct proceedings.

If the district lies entirely within unincorporated territory of a county, the county legislative body has complete authority.

If the district lies entirely within the incorporated territory of a public district, the public district legislative body has complete authority.

In all cases of incorporation of, annexation of territory to, consolidation of, exclusion of territory from, or the dissolution of, a city or cities, the authority, which would be vested in the legislative body which conducted the original proceedings, is vested in the legislative body which has jurisdiction over the district territory when the refunding is begun.

If a district lies entirely within two or more cities, the legislative body of any city in which any of the district lies may conduct the proceedings.

If the district lies partly within unincorporated territory of a county and partly within one or more cities, the legislative body of the county, or of any such city may conduct proceedings.

If more than one legislative body has authority to conduct the proceedings or if the legislative body proposing to conduct the proceeding is not that which levies the tax or assessment for the payment of principal and interest of the original bonds, the legislative body which proposes to conduct the proceeding shall obtain consent to the proceedings from the legislative body:
  (a) Of each city in which any of the district lies.
  (b) Of the county if a part of the district lies in unincorporated territory of the county.
  (c) Which levies the tax or assessment for the payment of principal and interest of the original bonds.

Such legislative bodies may grant such consent, which shall be expressed by resolution.

The consent shall be obtained and a certified copy of the resolution filed with the clerk of the legislative body proposing to conduct the proceedings on or before the date the resolution of intention in the proceedings is adopted.

When consent has been given, the legislative body to which it was granted has complete authority to conduct proceedings pursuant to this chapter.
