§ 68-2939. Political subdivisions may enter into agreements with federal government for payments for performance of services - Crediting payments - Estimates and appropriations.

If the United States declines to deal with the county treasurer with respect to the county or any political subdivision whose jurisdictional limits are within or coextensive with the limits of the county, or in the event the jurisdictional limits of a subdivision lie in more than one county, such political subdivision is authorized to make requests of the United States for such payments in lieu of taxes as the United States may agree to pay, and is hereby empowered to enter into agreements with the United States for the performance by the political subdivision of services for the benefit of a project, and for the payment by the United States to the political subdivision in one or more installments, of sums in lieu of taxes.  Such payments received by the county or any political subdivision shall be credited to the various funds of the county or subdivision receiving the payment in the same proportion that ad valorem taxes levied by the county and subdivision for said year are apportioned.  Such income shall be estimated and appropriated each year by the governing boards of the county and subdivisions subject to approval by the county excise board of such estimates and appropriations.
