14-125-307. Assistance from counties and municipalities. (a) The directors may invite the legislative body of any municipality or county located within or near the territory comprised within the district to designate a representative to advise and consult with the directors of the district on all questions of program and policy which may affect the property, water supply, or other interests of the municipality or county. (b) Since the protection, preservation, conservation, and proper utilization of renewable natural resources are necessary in order to protect the public health and welfare, the county judge of any county served by a conservation district may assist the directors of the district in carrying out the purposes of this chapter. To that end he may use the equipment and employees of the county to do the conservation work as may be requested by the directors and may make a reasonable charge therefor. (c) In the event the county court finds that the benefits accruing to the county by reason of the program of a conservation district justify the action, it may make donations to the district of money, services, or the use of equipment. (d) The directors of those districts desiring county assistance shall make application therefor to the county judge and in such form as he may prescribe. (e) The quorum courts of the respective counties of the state are authorized and empowered to appropriate annually an amount as may be deemed necessary for such purposes.
