1 23 a. Acquisition of a construction site and

1 34 acquisition or maintenance mutually agreed upon and

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, fire districts,
1 40 or school districts and shall specify the purposes for
1 41 which the building or improvement shall be used, the
1 42 estimated cost thereof, the estimated amount of the
1 43 cost to be allocated to each of the participating
1 44 counties, cities, fire districts, or school districts,
1 45 the proportion and method of allocating the expenses
1 46 of the operation and maintenance of the building or
1 47 improvement, and the disposition to be made of any
1 48 revenues to be derived therefrom, in addition to the
1 49 provisions of sections 28E.5 and 28E.6, and any other
1 50 applicable provision of this chapter.
2 1 3. a. A county, city, fire district, or school

2 3 obligation bonds for the payment of its share of the
2 4 cost of constructing, acquiring, furnishing,
2 5 operating, or maintaining a joint public building
2 6 pursuant to subsection 1. Section 28E.16 shall apply
2 7 regarding a single election to be authorized by the
2 8 board of supervisors, city council, governing body of
2 9 a fire district, and board of directors of a school
2 10 district, in the event that a single bond issue
2 11 throughout the overlapping or contiguous areas, or
2 12 noncontiguous cities contained within the same county
2 13 or contiguous counties, is contemplated. If separate
2 14 bond issues are authorized by a board of supervisors,
2 15 city council, governing body of a fire district, or
2 16 board of directors of a school district for their
2 17 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, however, a proposition to authorize an
2 22 issuance of bonds by a county, city, fire district, or
2 23 school district shall be deemed carried or adopted if
2 24 a vote in favor of the authorization equal to at least
2 25 sixty percent of the vote cast for and against the
2 26 proposition in each participating authority is
2 27 received.
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 public building
2 36 exceeds that which was originally estimated and agreed
2 37 to, the governing body of a county, city, fire
2 38 district, or school district shall have the authority,
2 39 jointly or individually, to appropriate additional
2 40 moneys or issue additional bonds to pay their
2 41 respective portions of the increased costs.
2 42 c. A county, city, fire district, or school
2 43 district shall be authorized, with the consent of the
2 44 governing bodies of the other parties, to enter into
2 45 an agreement under this section, to improve, add to,
2 46 or equip the building which is the subject of the
2 47 agreement for its own purposes to the same extent and
2 48 in the same manner as if the building were wholly
2 49 owned by and devoted to the uses of the county, city,
2 50 fire 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."
