1 6 1. Two or more counties, cities, or school
1 7 districts, each of which has areas within their
1 8 boundaries which overlap areas within the boundaries
1 9 of the others, or which are contiguous with each
1 10 other, may execute an agreement pursuant to this
1 11 section for the joint construction or acquisition,
1 12 furnishing, operation, and maintenance of a public
1 13 building or buildings for their common use within
1 14 their overlapping or contiguous areas. Noncontiguous
1 15 cities located within the same county, or contiguous
1 16 counties, may also execute an agreement for the joint
1 17 construction or acquisition, furnishing, operation,
1 18 and maintenance of a regional public building or
1 19 buildings for their common use. An agreement
1 20 regarding a joint county, city, or school district
1 21 public building may include, but is not limited to,
1 22 any of the following:
1 23 a. Acquisition of a construction site and
1 24 construction of a public building for common use.
1 25 b. Purchase of an existing building for joint
1 26 public use, or conversion of a building previously
1 27 owned and maintained by a county, city, or school
1 28 district for joint public use.
1 29 c. Equipping or furnishing a new or existing
1 30 building for joint public use.
1 31 d. Operation, maintenance, or improvement of a

1 33 e. Any other aspect of joint public building
1 34 acquisition or maintenance mutually agreed upon and
1 35 authorized by law in the county, city, or school
1 36 district.
1 37 2. An agreement pursuant to subsection 1 shall be
1 38 approved by resolution of the governing bodies of each
1 39 of the participating counties, cities, or school
1 40 districts and shall specify the purposes for which the
1 41 building or improvement shall be used, the estimated
1 42 cost thereof, the estimated amount of the cost to be
1 43 allocated to each of the participating counties,
1 44 cities, or school districts, the proportion and method
1 45 of allocating the expenses of the operation and
1 46 maintenance of the building or improvement, and the
1 47 disposition to be made of any revenues to be derived
1 48 therefrom, in addition to the provisions of sections
1 49 28E.5 and 28E.6, and any other applicable provision of
1 50 this chapter.
2 1 3. a. A county, city, or school district may
2 2 appropriate funds or issue general obligation bonds
2 3 for the payment of its share of the cost of
2 4 constructing, acquiring, furnishing, operating, or
2 5 maintaining a joint public building pursuant to
2 6 subsection 1. Section 28E.16 shall apply regarding a
2 7 single election to be authorized by the board of
2 8 supervisors, city council, and board of directors of a
2 9 school district, in the event that a single bond issue
2 10 throughout the overlapping or contiguous areas, or
2 11 noncontiguous cities contained within the same county
2 12 or contiguous counties, is contemplated. If separate
2 13 bond issues are authorized by a board of supervisors,
2 14 city council, or board of directors of a school
2 15 district for their respective share of the cost of the
2 16 joint public building, the applicable bonding
2 17 provisions of chapters 74, 75, 298, 331, and 384 shall
2 18 apply. With regard to any issuance of bonds pursuant
2 19 to this section, however, a proposition to authorize
2 20 an issuance of bonds by a county, city, or school
2 21 district shall be deemed carried or adopted if a vote
2 22 in favor of the authorization equal to at least sixty
2 23 percent of the vote cast for and against the
2 24 proposition in each participating authority is
2 25 received.
2 26 b. Bonds shall not be issued by a county, city, or
2 27 school district until provision has been made by each
2 28 of the other participating counties, cities, or school
2 29 districts to the agreement for the payment of their
2 30 shares of the cost of the joint public building. In
2 31 the event that the cost of the construction or
2 32 acquisition, furnishing, operation, and maintenance of
2 33 the public building exceeds that which was originally
2 34 estimated and agreed to, the governing body of a
2 35 county, city, or school district shall have the
2 36 authority, jointly or individually, to appropriate
2 37 additional moneys or issue additional bonds to pay
2 38 their respective portions of the increased costs.
2 39 c. A county, city, or school district shall be
2 40 authorized, with the consent of the governing bodies
2 41 of the other parties, to an agreement under this
2 42 section, to improve, add to, or equip the building
2 43 which is the subject of the agreement for its own
2 44 purposes to the same extent and in the same manner as
2 45 if the building were wholly owned by and devoted to
2 46 the uses of the county, city, or school district.
2 47 d. The authority granted to a county, city, or
2 48 school district pursuant to this section shall be in
2 49 addition to, and not in derogation of, any other
2 50 powers conferred by law upon a county, city, or school
3 1 district to make agreements, appropriate and expend
3 2 moneys, and to issue bonds for the same or similar
3 3 purposes."
