Any municipality may transfer, assign and set over to any authority any contracts which may have been awarded by the municipality for the construction of projects not begun or, if begun, not completed. The territory being served by any project or the territory within which such project is authorized to render service at the time of the acquisition of such project by an authority shall constitute the area in which such authority shall be authorized to render service.
(b) The authority shall first report to and advise the city by which it was created of the agreement to acquire, including all its terms and conditions.
The proposed action of the authority and the proposed agreement to acquire shall be approved by the city council. Such approval shall be by 2/3 vote of all the members of the council.
(c) This section, without reference to any other law, shall be deemed complete for the acquisition by agreement of projects as defined in this chapter located wholly within or partially without the city causing such authority to be incorporated, any provisions of other laws to the contrary notwithstanding, and no proceedings or other action shall be required except as prescribed in this section.
