Article 2. Request By Legislative Body of California Government Code >> Division 2. >> Title 5. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 2.

When the legislative body of a local agency finds and by resolution declares that its location is such that it cannot adequately or conveniently be provided with conduits, unless it constructs and maintains certain connecting conduits in, across, or along certain streets, or other public places of any other local agency, the legislative body may submit a copy of the resolution to the legislative body of the other local agency.

The resolution shall contain:
  (a) A description of the conduits proposed to be constructed and maintained in the other local agency.
  (b) A description of the streets or other public places in, across, or along which the conduits are proposed to be constructed and maintained.

The resolution shall be accompanied by a written request that permission be granted to the local agency to construct and maintain the conduits described in the resolution.

The clerk of the local agency shall sign the request.

In its discretion the legislative body receiving the request and copy of the resolution may grant permission.

The permission shall be granted by ordinance, or by resolution in the case of a sanitary district.

The ordinance or resolution shall state any terms and conditions of the permission prescribed by the legislative body.

If the legislative body grants permission for the construction and maintenance of sewers, it may require as a condition that it may connect its sewers with those constructed under permission and use them in connection with its sewer system upon paying a proportionate part of the cost of constructing and maintaining them to the local agency constructing them.

The cost may be determined by resolutions of the legislative bodies of both local agencies. The payment shall be made at the times and in the amounts determined by the legislative bodies.
