§ 54516.3

If the enterprise is a hospital, the local agency may provide for the administration, operation and maintenance of the whole or any part of the enterprise and for such purpose may enter into any lease agreement or contract which it believes will best serve the interest of the local agency by publication of notice inviting bids pursuant to Section 54516.2. Before entering into any such lease or contract, the local agency must first hold a public hearing on the question after publication or posting of notice thereof given in the same manner and for the same time as a notice inviting bids is required to be given by Section 54516.2.
