Government may cooperate or contract

  • contents

(1)

Governments may cooperate or contract with one another to provide any function, service, or facility lawfully authorized to each of the cooperating or contracting units, including the sharing of costs, the imposition of taxes, or the incurring of debt, only if such cooperation or contracts are authorized by each party thereto with the approval of its legislative body or other authority having the power to so approve. Any such contract providing for the sharing of costs or the imposition of taxes may be entered into for any period, notwithstanding any provision of law limiting the length of any financial contracts or obligations of governments.

(2)

Any such contract shall set forth fully the purposes, powers, rights, obligations, and the responsibilities, financial and otherwise, of the contracting parties.

(3)

Where other provisions of law provide requirements for special types of intergovernmental contracting or cooperation, those special provisions shall control.

(4)

Any such contract may provide for the joint exercise of the function, service, or facility, including the establishment of a separate legal entity to do so.

(5)

Any separate legal entity formed pursuant to the provisions of this part 2 may make loans to any government which enters into any contract pursuant to the provisions of this section, which loans may be secured by loan and security agreements, leases, or any other instruments upon such terms and conditions, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions authorized by section 31-35-402 (1)(h), C.R.S., as the board of directors of such intergovernmental entity shall determine.

(6)

The provisions of articles 10.5 and 47 of title 11, C.R.S., shall apply to moneys of such separate legal entities.
