The city shall have the power to join with any governmental unit or agency, or with any number or combination thereof, by contract or otherwise as may be permitted by law, to have performed (a) jointly, or (b) by one or more of them for or on behalf of the other or others, or by any other person, firm or corporation, any function which is permitted to be so performed by law by such governmental unit or agency.
In the exercise of the powers contained in Section 2.1, the Commission shall have the right to contract with persons, firms, corporations or governing bodies to furnish fire, police and ambulance services to property and persons outside the city boundaries for a fair consideration, if the Commission shall find that the financial interests of the city are advanced by obtaining payments therefor; or that the prosperity of the municipality and the inhabitants are advanced through preventing a conflagration which might spread within the city or through protecting from fire industrial or commercial properties at which residents of the city are employed.
