SECTIONS 5115-5119 - California Statutes

STREETS AND HIGHWAYS CODE

SECTION 5115-5119

5115. When the public interest or convenience so requires, and
whenever, in the opinion of the legislative body initiating the
proceedings, the proposed work is of such a character that it
directly and peculiarly affects property in two or more cities, or in
one or more cities and counties, and that the purposes sought to be
accomplished by the work can best be accomplished by a single,
comprehensive scheme of work, there is hereby conferred upon the
legislative body full power and authority to extend the work or the
boundaries of the district to be assessed therefor beyond the
territorial limits of the city.

5116. The legislative body may establish, change or modify the
grade of and order to be done in, over or under the whole, or any
portion, either in length or width, of any one or more of the public
streets, places, sidewalks, highways, roads, or property or rights of
way (including tidelands and submerged lands owned by any city)
within the limits of the city which is carrying through the
proceeding in question, and also into the limits of other cities or
extending from the city through or over one or more other cities, or
extending through or over one or more cities and into a county or
extending along the exterior boundary between a city and a county, or
along the boundary between two cities, whether wholly or partly
within or without the boundary, either singly or in any combination
thereof, any of the work mentioned in this division under the
proceedings described in this division.

5117. The city may include within the boundaries of an assessment
district created pursuant to this division lands lying within the
boundaries of any one or more cities, or counties, when such lands,
in the opinion of the legislative body conducting the proceeding,
will be benefited by the proposed work if the consent of the
legislative body of any territory proposed to be assessed shall first
be obtained to the formation of the assessment district and, if any
of the proposed work is to be done within such territory, to the work
described in the resolution of intention and the assumption of
jursidiction thereover for the purposes aforesaid prior to the
adoption thereof.

5118. The proposed resolution of intention shall be submitted to
the legislative bodies which have jurisdiction over the territory
into which the proposed work or the assessment district therefor may
extend. When the resolution of intention is approved and the consent
of the legislative bodies whose consent is necessary is obtained to
the work and the formation of the assessment district described
therein, the resolution of intention may be adopted. The consent if
any shall, of itself, constitute assent to the assumption of
jurisdiction thereover for all purposes of the proceeding and
authorize the legislative body initiating the proceeding to take each
and every step required for or suitable for the consummation of the
work extending outside the limits of the city, and the levying,
collecting and enforcement of the assessments to cover the expenses
thereof and the issuance and enforcement of bonds to represent unpaid
assessments.

5119. Notwithstanding any other provision, upon obtaining the
consent of any city as provided in Sections 5117 and 5118, the board
of supervisors of a county may order any work and levy, collect and
enforce assessments and issue and enforce assessment bonds to
represent unpaid assessments in an assessment district created by it
lying wholly within such city.
