CA AB2188

Authorizes the general manager of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District to bind the district for payments up to $150,000 without advertising, covering equipment, supplies, materials, labor, or other valuable consideration including new construction projects

Requires board approval and adherence to board policy adopted in an open meeting before the general manager can exercise this binding authority

Expands the district's authority beyond the standard $50,000 limit that applies to most regional park and open-space districts

Differs from the existing $150,000 threshold for districts with 200,000+ population by including labor and services, which are excluded under current law for those larger districts

Legislature declares this special statute necessary due to the unique financial situations of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District
