In a suit brought by a county taxpayer's association and others challenging certain acts of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, trial court's judgment rejecting plaintiffs' challenge on the merits is affirmed as the Conservancy is authorized and directed by law to do any and all things necessary to carry out its statutorily mandated purposes, including grant in funds to be used for the preservation and protection of recreational, educational and environmental resources within its territory. Further, its membership in the Conservation Authority, the joint powers entity that is the recipient of its funding grant, does not render the grant in excess of its power to award.
