a. The reimbursement of the municipality or municipalities rendering such aid, for any damage to police or fire equipment or other property, and for payment to any member of a police force or fire department and force or volunteer fire company for injuries sustained while serving pursuant to such agreements or to a surviving spouse or other dependent if death results;
b. A joint meeting of the municipalities entering into such agreements, for the selection of necessary officers or personnel, or for such other matters as are mutually deemed necessary; and
c. The acquisition of lands, and the establishment and maintenance of a central office. Real and personal property so acquired shall be held by such municipalities as tenants in common.
