Article 3. Cement Manufacturing Plants of California Government Code >> Division 2. >> Title 3. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 5. >> Article 3.

The board of supervisors may purchase, lease, construct, or otherwise acquire, own, operate, manage, and control, in any county in the State, a cement manufacturing plant, and may purchase, lease, or otherwise acquire real or personal property to be used in connection with the plant.

No cement manufacturing plant shall be purchased, leased, or otherwise acquired, nor any works constructed, until notice of the intention to purchase or construct such works has been given for a period of 30 days by publication in a newspaper of general circulation published within the county or, if there is none, by posting a notice for a like period in a conspicuous place in three public places in the county.

The notice shall contain a description of the property to be purchased or works to be constructed, a statement of the amount of money to be invested, the terms upon which it is to be invested, and the time when the proposition will come before the board of supervisors to be acted upon.

The board of supervisors may sell the products of the cement manufacturing plant in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as it deems proper.

The State and any municipal or public corporation of the State shall have a preferred right to purchase the products of the cement manufacturing plant at the same price as they are offered to private persons.
