received a majority of all the votes cast upon the proposition.



25203.  The board shall direct and control the conduct of litigation
in which the county, or any public entity of which the board is the

apportioned by the board of supervisors in proportion to the duties

paid from municipal funds and the compensation determined to be for
county duties shall be paid from county funds.



25206.  The board may direct the sheriff to attend, either in person
or by deputy, all the meetings of the board, to preserve order, and
to serve notices, subpenas, citations, or other process, as directed
by the board.


25207.  The board may do and perform all other acts and things
required by law not enumerated in this part, or which are necessary

25207.1.  Any ordinance adopted by a board of supervisors requiring
any person who represents a corporation, firm, association,
organization, or person other than himself in attempting to influence
any action to be taken on a county decision by a board of
supervisors or any county board, commission, committee or officer, to
register or to disclose any information concerning such
representation including, but not limited to, compensation received
or expenditures made in the course of, or incidental to, such
representation, shall be enforceable within the incorporated as well
as the unincorporated area of the county. The term "county decision"
shall include any decision, or any recommendation as to a decision,
concerning any matter, whether legislative, administrative, or
quasi-judicial, which is pending before, or may be submitted to, the
board of supervisors or any county board, commission, committee, or
officer. Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize a
board of supervisors to require the registration of, or disclosure
by, members of the State Bar of California in the performance of a
service which lawfully can be performed only by an attorney licensed
to practice law in the State of California.



25207.5.  A county may disseminate information to the public
concerning the rights, duties, properties, and activities of the

board deems proper and beneficial to the exercise of supervisorial
duties by newly elected supervisors.
   The provisions of this section shall be implemented by ordinance
adopted by the board of supervisors. The ordinance shall provide
those procedures that the board determines are necessary. The
ordinance shall also include a requirement that the supervisor-elect
request the training and orientation.



25208.5.  The board of supervisors of a county has all of the powers
to provide for community recreation which are granted to the
governing board of a public authority by Chapter 10 (commencing with

25209.  If real property is conveyed by a county and it is
subsequently determined and mutually agreed by the board of
supervisors and the person to whom the property was conveyed that an
error was made in the description of the property conveyed, so that
less property is included in the description than was intended by the
parties, the board may by resolution recite the facts of such error
and approve such determination and agreement; thereafter the board
may execute or cause to be executed a corrective deed without
conforming to the requirements of law, if any, for the sale of real
property by counties and without commencing a judicial action to
reform the deed.
   A similar procedure may be followed with respect to property
conveyed to a county, where the error results in more property being
conveyed than was intended. In either case the resolution of the
board shall be conclusive as to the facts recited therein as to good
faith purchasers or encumbrancers for value.
   This section shall not apply to a conveyance by or to a county if
the error is in the published description required by law or charter,
nor shall this section require notice of such sale or purchase to be
published if not otherwise required by law.



25209.1.  (a) During any fiscal year, the board of supervisors of
any county or city and county may upon the recommendation of the
county auditor authorize the treasurer of the county or city and
county to make a temporary transfer from the funds in his custody to
any school district in the county or city and county. Such temporary
transfer shall be made only in the event that the funds transferred
are not immediately needed to pay claims against such funds of the
county treasury, and the temporary transfer of funds made to eligible
school districts shall not exceed an amount computed to be equal to
50 percent of the school district's entitlement for payment of Public
Law 81-874 funds for the immediately preceding fiscal year.
   (b) School districts may repay such temporary transfer of funds
without any interest to the county or city and county on or before
June 1 of the fiscal year in which the funds were transferred. Upon
receipt of Public Law 81-874 funds next following the aforesaid
transfer, the school district shall immediately apply all of such
funds to the repayment of the funds transferred pursuant to
subdivision (a).
   If such temporary transfer of funds is not repaid by June 1 of the
fiscal year in which the temporary transfer occurred, the county
auditor shall withhold from the next principal apportionment of taxes
an amount equal to the temporary transfer of funds and charges, less
any repayments made by the school district.



25209.3.  The board of supervisors may do and perform all acts
necessary to enable the county to participate in the Economic
Opportunity Act of 1964, as amended, and its successors, including
the authorization of the expenditure by the county of whatever funds
that may be required by the federal government as a condition to the
county's participation.



25209.5.  The board of supervisors may do and perform all acts
necessary to participate in the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act
of 1972 (Public Law 92-512) including the authorization of the
expenditure by the county of funds received by the county pursuant to
said act for the priority expenditures set forth in Section 103 of
said act. The authorization as contained in this section is in
addition to any other powers that a county may have to expend funds
for purposes provided by law.



25209.6.  The board of supervisors may take all necessary action on
behalf of the county to participate as a health maintenance
organization in Section 1876 of the Social Security Act (Public Law
92-603, Section 226), or Section 300(e) of Title 42 of the United
States Code, or any other health maintenance organization provision
under Title 18 or 19 of the Social Security Act, or any or all of
such provisions, and to provide to its enrollees services in addition
to those described in subsection (c), as provided in subsection (g)
of Section 1876, including the establishment, receipt, segregation
and use of prepayments by and for the benefit of enrollees, execution
and performance of contracts, and authorization of the expenditure
by the county of whatever funds may be required therefor. In
connection with a program under this section, county funds may be
expended to provide county supplementation of enrollee prepayment
amounts, up to 100 percent of the full prepayment amount for persons
or families who, in the judgment of the county, are not financially
capable of making the full prepayment.
