§ 16269 Project Fund Disbursement Rules

This rule says money for a project is given to the local agency only after the board’s executive officer says two things are true: the project got all needed approvals, and the agency has already promised to spend the money by signing a contract or agreement.

Key Takeaways

  • •Money is only sent after all project approvals are in place.
  • •The local agency must have a contract or agreement that will actually spend the money.
  • •The board’s executive officer must certify both things before the funds are released.

Example

A town wants to build a new park. After getting all the permits and approvals, the town signs a contract with a builder to do the work.

Because the town has the approvals and a signed contract that will use the money, the executive officer can certify it and the funds are released to the town.
