for the best interests of the city to sell, lease, or otherwise

portion thereof, to such a municipal water district, by a four-fifths
vote of all its members, it shall pass an ordinance, authorizing the
sale, lease, or other transfer.



38752.  The ordinance shall specify the price, the yearly or monthly
rental, or if the transfer and control of the waterworks system is
to be made upon terms, the ordinance shall briefly state the terms.

stipulations as the legislative body determines necessary to a proper
understanding of the transaction, and may refer to the proposed form
of contract for further particulars.

by its mayor.



38758.  If the transaction is a sale, either for cash or after the

having an interest in the transaction, for the purpose of setting
