11-254. Contribution for economic
development


In addition to any other provision of law, the board of supervisors may appropriate
from the general fund each year up to one million five hundred thousand dollars for the
purpose of economic development activity which is operated and maintained within the
boundaries of the county and which the board determines is for the benefit of the
public. Contributions may be made to any governmental agency or to a nonprofit
corporation which enjoys and maintains federal tax exempt status as long as all monies
are utilized for the purpose determined to be public by the board. If more than one
nonprofit corporation is selected for a fiscal year, the board shall determine the
portion of the money that each will receive.
