1 17 counties, may also execute an agreement for the joint
1 18 construction or acquisition, furnishing, operation,
1 19 and maintenance of a joint public building or

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 27 owned and maintained by a county, city, fire district,
1 28 or school 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 32 joint public building.
1 33 e. Any other aspect of joint public building
1 34 construction, acquisition, furnishing, operation, or
1 35 maintenance mutually agreed upon by the county, city,
1 36 fire district, or school district and not otherwise

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