§ 53293 Flood Control Agency Contracts

Key Takeaways

  • •This law is about special groups in the state that help control floods.
  • •These groups can only hire other government groups for engineering or surveying work, not private companies.
  • •The other government group must either cover the same area or have a shared interest in the project.
  • •Old contracts made before this law started are still okay.

Example

A local flood control group needs someone to design a new dam to stop flooding in their area.

They can't hire a private company to do the design work. They must ask another government group, like the county or a nearby city, to do it. If the county also benefits from the dam, they can work together.
