(2) The governing body of any public body participating in the creation and establishment of an authority, or in the subsequent enlargement thereof, may, in the proceedings or joint proceedings, or by subsequent action, appropriate and pay over to an authority from its general funds or from other resources not required by law to be appropriated for other purposes, any sum or sums of money, or any property which such public body shall determine to be necessary or advisable in furtherance of the public purposes of the authority as set forth in this chapter.
