Article 4. Aid From State Agencies Or Other Sources of California Water Code >> Division 6. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 1. >> Article 4.

Any State agency may advance or contribute money, rights of way, labor, materials, and any other property for the construction, operation, or maintenance of the project or any unit thereof.

Appropriations for advances or contributions under this article may be made from any funds available for the purpose.

Any State agency may issue its general obligation bonds for the purpose of making advances or contributions under this article and all proceedings for the authorization, issue, and sale of such bonds shall be had under the law governing the issue and sale of bonds for public improvements by the particular State agency.

Money or property advanced or contributed may be immediately transferred or delivered to the department to be used for the purpose for which the advance or contribution was made.

The department may enter into an agreement with any state agency to repay any money or the value of any rights of way, labor, materials, or other property advanced or contributed; but no repayment therefor shall be made until all obligations issued by the department for the construction of the project have been fully redeemed and paid, and then only out of the revenues received from the operation of the project.

After all bonds issued have been fully redeemed and paid, the department may continue to collect revenues from the use and operation of the project for the purpose of reimbursing any state agency for any expenditures made by it and for the purpose of repayment of any amount the department shall have agreed to repay for money, rights of way, labor, materials, or other property advanced or contributed for the construction of the project or unit thereof.

The department may receive and accept from any and all sources money, rights of way, labor, materials, or any other property for the construction, operation, or maintenance of the project or any unit or specific portion of any unit thereof or for any of the purposes of this part, and may agree with the person or entity so contributing to apply the money or property in the manner and for the purpose for which contributed, and the contribution shall thereupon be used and applied in accordance with the agreement.
