REFS & ANNOS
TITLE 20 Chapter 2 Article 11 Part 3 NOTE
LAW REVIEWS. --For article, "School Systems, Segregation and the Supreme Court," see 6 Mercer L. Rev. 189 (1955). For article, "Public Authorities: Legislative Panacea?," see 5 J. of Pub. L. 387 (1956).
OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
NOT POLICY OF AUTHORITY TO JOIN IN CITY ANNEXATION APPLICATION. --It is not the policy of the authority to join in an application for annexation of state-owned property to a city. 1968 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 68-229.
MUNICIPALITIES OR COUNTIES CANNOT REQUIRE BUILDING FEES FOR CONSTRUCTION ON AUTHORITY PROPERTY. --Building permit fees may not be legally required by municipalities or counties of contractors on buildings being constructed for the authority on authority property. 1963-65 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 493.
AUTHORITY DOES NOT DIRECTLY SUPERVISE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS OF LESS THAN $200,000.00. --When allotted funds from the State Board of Education for school construction result in construction projects of less than $200,000.00, the authority does not directly supervise construction but requires the local school system to construct the project itself and then be reimbursed by the authority; this procedure often makes it necessary for the local school system to borrow a substantial part of the construction costs for a period of nine months to a year; such borrowing is within the legal power of local school systems. 1968 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 68-18.
