     § 7513.  Agreements among political subdivisions.
        (a)  General rule.--Where a local organization has
     jurisdiction in an area including all or parts of more than one
     political subdivision which does not include the whole area of
     any county, the political subdivisions, all or part of which lie
     within the jurisdiction of the organization, shall, before
     paying any expenses of the organization, enter into an agreement
     designating one of the political subdivisions as the agent of
     each of them for the purpose of paying the expenses of the local
     organization. The agreement shall also set forth the
     proportionate share of the expenses of the organization to be
     paid by each political subdivision party to the agreement and an
     estimate of the amount required to be appropriated by each of
     them for the purpose of paying the expenses. The agreement shall
     be effective when approved by the corporate authorities of each
     of the political subdivisions by a majority vote and each of the
     subdivisions shall thereupon make an appropriation pursuant to
     section 7511 (relating to appropriations by political
     subdivisions) sufficient to pay its share of the expenses of the
     organization.
        (b)  Counties.--Where the local organization has jurisdiction
     in an area including the whole area of one or more counties
     which is not coterminous with any one county, before paying any
     expenses of the organization, the counties, all or part of which
     lie within the jurisdiction of the organization, shall enter
     into an agreement in the manner and form provided in subsection
     (a) and with like effect, and no other political subdivision
     lying within the jurisdiction of the organization shall be a
     party to the agreement.
