(a) The district is authorized to enter into contracts or agreements with the authority pursuant to which the authority undertakes to provide the transit facilities and services to the district, specified in a mass transit plan adopted by the authority, in consideration for the undertaking by the district to contribute, such sums as shall be agreed on, to the capital required for the construction or acquisition of the transit facilities, for debt service requirements and for meeting expenses and obligations incurred in the operation of the facilities. The district may not enter into any contracts or agreements with respect to transit facilities and service in either Montgomery or Prince George's Counties unless the governing body of the affected county adopts a resolution approving the transit facilities and service proposed to be provided in its county, the terms and provisions of the contract or agreement and the allocation between the counties of the obligations created by the contract or agreement. The failure of one of the counties to grant approval does not preclude the district from entering into a contract or agreement for transit facilities and service to be provided to the other county, if that county grants the required approvals. Notwithstanding § 87-8, the commission may authorize such a contract or agreement with the unanimous approval of the 2 commissioners appointed by the county executive from the county granting the requisite approvals, the commissioner appointed by the governor from the affected county, and the secretary of transportation and such 4 commissioners shall constitute a quorum of the commission for the purposes of considering such a contract or agreement. (Mont. Co. Code 1965, § 72-12; 1965, ch. 870, § 1; 1968, ch. 727, § 1; 1992, ch. 22, § 1; E.S. 1992, ch. 3, § 1.)
