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.

(a) A description of the conduits proposed to be constructed and
maintained in the other local agency.

that permission be granted to the local agency to construct and
maintain the conduits described in the resolution.

and copy of the resolution may grant permission.

55025. The permission shall be granted by ordinance, or by
resolution in the case of a sanitary district.

55026. The ordinance or resolution shall state any terms and
conditions of the permission prescribed by the legislative body.

55027. If the legislative body grants permission for the
construction and maintenance of sewers, it may require as a condition

maintaining them to the local agency constructing them.

55028. The cost may be determined by resolutions of the legislative
