§ 53177 Local Agency Financing Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •This rule is for local groups (like city or county offices) that can use special money plans listed in another part of the law.
  • •If a local group has leaders who do the same job as city leaders, they must follow the same rules as city leaders.
  • •If a local group doesn’t have a leader like the city does, they must pick someone to do the job the law says must be done.

Example

A small town wants to build a new park but needs money.

The town must follow the same money rules as big cities if they want to use special money plans. If the town doesn’t have a leader like a city does, they must pick someone to handle the money stuff the right way.
