Section 28E.16 shall apply regarding a single 2 20 election to be authorized by the board of supervisors, city 2 21 council, and board of directors of a school district, in the 2 22 event that a single bond issue throughout the overlapping or 2 23 contiguous areas, or noncontiguous cities contained within the 2 24 same county or contiguous counties, is contemplated. If 2 25 separate bond issues are authorized by a board of supervisors, 2 26 city council, or board of directors of a school district for 2 27 their respective share of the cost of the joint public 2 28 building, the applicable bonding provisions of chapters 74, 2 29 75, 298, 331, and 384 shall apply.

In the event that the cost of the 3 6 construction or acquisition, furnishing, operation, and 3 7 maintenance of the public building exceeds that which was 3 8 originally estimated and agreed to, the governing body of a 3 9 county, city, or school district shall have the authority, 3 10 jointly or individually, to appropriate additional moneys or 3 11 issue additional bonds to pay their respective portions of the 3 12 increased costs. 3 13 c.

The authority granted to a county, city, or school 3 21 district pursuant to this section shall be in addition to, and 3 22 not in derogation of, any other powers conferred by law upon a 3 23 county, city, or school district to make agreements, 3 24 appropriate and expend moneys, and to issue bonds for the same 3 25 or similar purposes. 3 26 3 27 3 28 3 29 MARY E.
