                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

REVIEW OF APPROPRIATIONS TO CERTAIN AGENCIES; PROVIDING GOODS AND SERVICES TO
SUCH AGENCIES IN LIEU OF FUNDS (§ 15.2-1305)

The governing body of any locality may from time to time require of any board,
commission or authority, hereinafter referred to as recipient agency, to which
it has power to appropriate public funds and has appropriated such funds in the
past or has received a request for appropriations, such information books and
records of the recipient agency as the governing body deems necessary in order
that it may be assured that an appropriation or proposed appropriation will not
result in the dissipation of public funds and in order that it may determine the
use of past and the proposed use of future appropriations, the method of
management, control and organization of the recipient agency and its present and
proposed programs. If the governing body determines that a particular
administrative function or activity of the recipient organization duplicates the
services provided by the governing body and that public funds may be conserved
by combining, consolidating or coordinating the activities of the recipient
agency with those of the locality, it may, in lieu of an appropriation of funds
for that function or activity, provide the recipient agency with the necessary
goods and services. The governing body may assign officers and employees to
coordinate the functions and activities of the governing body and those of the
various recipient agencies.
