The board of supervisors of Washington county is hereby authorized and empowered to enter into an agreement or agreements with the board of supervisors of one or more adjoining counties possessing equivalent powers for the joint construction or acquisition, maintenance and control of facilities for the promotion and conservation of fish, game and other natural resources, and may annually appropriate and expend such sums as may be necessary pursuant to such agreement. The agreement may provide for the method of acquisition or construction of the facility, the management and operation thereof; the method of fixing the proportionate share of each county and of making contributions; the custody of moneys; the audit of claims; the duration of the agreement; and such other matters as may be appropriate in the circumstances. The agreement shall have a maximum duration of ten years, but such limitation shall not prohibit successive agreements.
