§ 55025 Sanitary District Permission Grants

Key Takeaways

  • •Permission must be given officially, either by a local law (ordinance) or a formal decision (resolution).
  • •For sanitary districts (places handling trash/water), permission is given by a resolution, not a law.
  • •This rule was added a long time ago, in 1949.

Example

A town wants to build a new park.

The town must pass an official law (ordinance) to allow the park to be built. If it were about trash pickup, they’d use a formal decision (resolution) instead.
