Article 1. Cooperation With United States Government of California Streets And Highways Code >> Division 2. >> Chapter 9. >> Article 1.

The board of supervisors of any county may enter into cooperative agreements with the Secretary of Agriculture of the United States, or other properly authorized officer of the United States, for the survey, construction, and maintenance of highways or trails within such county, or for the survey, construction, and maintenance of highways or trails outside of its county limits, including highways or trails lying partly within and partly without the boundaries of the State, where authorization therefor is given by ordinance or resolution of the board of supervisors or other properly authorized agency of the county in which such highways or trails or a portion thereof are to be constructed.

The agreements shall be entered into pursuant to the provisions of Section 8 of the act of Congress, approved July 11, 1916, entitled "An act to provide that the United States shall aid the states in the construction of rural post roads and for other purposes," or pursuant to the provisions of Section 23 of the Federal-Aid Highway Act, upon such terms as may be agreed upon by the county and the Secretary of Agriculture. The county board of supervisors may incur expenses necessary to perform its part of the cooperative agreements, and may pay the cost and expenses of the agreements out of the county general fund or such other fund as the board of supervisors designates or otherwise provides.

Upon request of the proper officer of the United States, together with the order of the board of supervisors of the county, the county treasurer shall deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank to the credit of the United States all money set aside by the board of supervisors under agreements entered into with the United States in accordance with the provisions of the Federal-Aid Highway Act and subsequent acts of like nature. The money shall be paid out by the proper fiscal agent of the United States pursuant to the agreements.
