When the legislative bodies of two or more local agencies
determine and adopt a resolution declaring that it will be for the
interest or advantage of the local agencies to do so, the legislative
bodies, may enter an agreement authorizing and providing for the
joint construction and maintenance of conduits in the streets or
other public places of either of the local agencies.
The agreement may include the joint construction and
maintenance of all necessary outfall sewers within or outside of the
boundaries of the local agencies.
The agreement shall provide for the joint payment of the
cost of the joint use, benefit, and maintenance of all the outfall
sewers and conduits upon the terms and under the regulations approved
by the legislative bodies of all the local agencies.
The legislative body of each such local agency may bind and
obligate the local agency to pay its proportionate part of the
construction and maintenance costs of the outfall sewer and conduits
at the times and in the installments provided for in the agreement.
By unanimous consent, the local agencies may amend or
supplement the agreement and permit additional local agencies to
become parties to the agreement.
When by resolution a legislative body determines and
declares that it is for the interest or advantage of the local agency
to become a party to the amended or supplemental joint agreement, it
may provide for the joint payment of the costs, and joint use,
benefit, and maintenance, of the outfall sewers and conduits upon the
terms and under the regulations approved by the legislative bodies
of all the local agencies entering into the amended or supplemental
agreement.
Each such local agency is obligated to pay the proportionate
part of the construction and maintenance costs of the outfall sewer
and conduit at the times and in the installments provided for in the
amended or supplemental agreement.
Each such local agency is also obligated to reimburse the
parties to the original agreement for money they expended pursuant to
the original agreement.
An amended or supplemental agreement may be entered into
prior to the commencement, during the construction, or after the
completion of the outfall sewer and conduit.
All contracts for construction pursuant to this article
shall be made and entered into by one local agency designated by the
legislative bodies of all the local agencies in the manner provided
in Article 3.
By their legislative bodies two or more local agencies may
also enter into an agreement with each other for the joint use by
them of any outfall sewers and conduits already constructed in whole
or in part in the streets or other public places of any such local
agencies upon the terms their legislative bodies determine to be
proper.
The local agencies entering into the agreements may use the
streets within such local agencies for the construction and
maintenance of outfall sewers and conduits pursuant to this article.
When it is necessary to extend the outfall sewers and
conduits without the limits of the local agencies, they may use
public highways without the city limits subject only to the right of
the board of supervisors to make reasonable police regulations for
the protection of the highways used.
When a local agency enters into an agreement pursuant to
this article, the proportionate part of the costs required to be paid
by it in the agreement may be raised by any legal means including
the issuance and sale of the bonds of the local agency.
