SECTION 25200-25209




25200.  Upon the receipt of the certificate of commitment from the
Director of Transportation, or upon the adoption of the report if no
contribution is requested from the state, the board of directors
shall transmit certified copies of their report of the project to
each of the boards of supervisors of the counties composing the
district.



25201.  Upon receipt of the report of the project, each of the
boards of supervisors shall forthwith consider it. Within 60 days
after the receipt of the report, each board of supervisors shall by
resolution approve or reject the report. Failure of any board of
supervisors to act within the time allowed shall be deemed a
rejection, but such rejection or a rejection by other means shall be
without prejudice to the submission at any time of a new or amended
report by the board of directors of the district.



25202.  Each board of supervisors shall cause a certified copy of
its resolution adopting or rejecting the report of the project to be
sent to the secretary of the board of directors of the district.



25203.  Upon receipt of the report of the project the clerk of each
board of supervisors shall cause a notice to be published twice in a
newspaper of general circulation published and circulated in the
county receiving the report. The last publication of the notice shall
be at least 20 days prior to the date of the hearing on the report.
The notice shall set forth:
   (a) That the report has been received and is on file for public
inspection.
   (b) The time at which the board of supervisors will consider the
report and hold the hearing thereon.
   (c) That all interested persons may present any protests or
suggestions which they have to offer concerning the report at that
time.


25204.  No county within the district shall be obligated or
committed hereunder until the board of supervisors thereof approves
the report of the project and until that report is approved by the
boards of supervisors of all other counties in the district. The
proportions of contribution provided for in the report thus approved
shall not be exceeded without the consent of the board of supervisors
of each county in the district.



25205.  At any time prior to the approval of the report of the
project by the board of supervisors of any county, the matter of the
participation of the county in any issuance of bonds proposed in the
report may be referred to a vote of the qualified electors of the
county. Such reference shall be had upon the petition of 5 per cent
of the registered electors of the county, or upon the resolution of
the board of supervisors of the county.



25206.  The matter may be submitted at a special election called for
that purpose or may be consolidated with any other election
involving the entire county. All laws governing county elections
shall apply to the election in so far as they may be applicable. The
notice of election, in addition to the matters otherwise required,
shall refer to the report of the project, a copy of which shall be on
file in the office of the county elections official.



25207.  If at the election a two-thirds majority of the electors
voting thereon do not approve the proposition, the county shall not
participate in the issue of bonds proposed in the report of the
project unless the same or any amended proposition for such
participation is thereafter, at a subsequent election, approved by
the electors.



25208.  If any county thus refers the matter of its participation in
the issuance of bonds to the electors of the county, the time for
the approval of the report by the board of supervisors of that county
shall be extended to and including 30 days after the date of
canvassing the returns upon the election.



25209.  The provisions of this chapter relating to the submission of
the question of county participation in the issuance of bonds to the
electors shall not apply to bonds issued under Chapter 19 of this
part.
