Government Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•A city can spend money to plan for big water projects like canals or waterways.
•The city must have at least the same amount of money from private sources to match what they spend.
•The project must help the city or nearby areas with transportation using water.

Example

A city wants to build a new canal to help boats move goods faster.

The city can use public money to pay for planning the canal, but only if private companies or people also give money for the same project. This makes sure the city isn’t spending all the money alone.
