The county may lease at a rental of one dollar ($1.00) per year off-street parking facilities from any person who provides such facilities qualifying for tax exemption under this chapter. Upon such lease being made, the county agrees to operate and maintain such off-street parking facilities, and so long as such lease continues in force and effect, the county shall operate and maintain such facilities in the same manner as if they had been acquired and constructed by the county pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.
