Improvement and Construction of Harbors in California

Article 3 of Chapter 2 of Division 7 of the California Harbors and Navigation Code deals with the improvement and construction of harbor improvements.

Section 4080 states that, whenever funds necessary for any improvement, development, or protection for which bonds have been voted, are in the county treasury, the commission is required to carry into effect the improvement, development, or protection of the harbor. The board of supervisors may sell only that portion of the authorized bonds that will provide funds as they are needed to carry on the work.

Section 408 requires the improvement, development, or protection of any harbor, and all work, labor, or service employed therein, to be under the control and management of the commission.

Section 4086 authorizes the board at any time to require from the commissioners a report of the progress of any work and of the condition of the harbor being improved, developed or protected, and such other information as the board may deem necessary.
