Chapter 5.5. Annexation Of Additional Lands of California Streets And Highways Code >> Division 14. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 5.5.

Whenever in the opinion of the city council of any city the public interest or convenience may require that body to order the improvement of any street lighting system located on lands in the city outside the boundaries of a district established under the provisions of this part, whether or not such lands are contiguous to the boundaries of such established district, that body may, in lieu of establishing a new district under this part, order the annexation of such lands to an existing district established under this part and may assess, either partly or wholly, the costs and expenses, including all incidental expenses of such improvement, or of any one or more of the items thereof, upon the lands in the district, including the lands thus annexed.

The procedures applicable to such annexation and the lands so annexed shall, except as otherwise in this chapter expressly provided, be the same as those applicable to the establishment of the district and to the administration of such established district.

The improvement of the street lighting system within the lands so annexed shall be for a period of time not longer than that fixed for the improvement ordered to be made within the established district to which such lands are annexed.

The term of the contract to be let for making the improvement within the lands so annexed shall be for such period of time as will cause such contract to expire or terminate on the same date as the contract let for the improvement to be made in the district as originally established.

In the event that an ordinance requires the installation of a street lighting system by a subdivider, the resolution of intention may state that the territory owned by the subdivider comes under the terms of such ordinance and order that such territory, without notice and hearing, be formed into a district, or annexed to an existing district, established under the provisions of this part.
