(2) The State Land Board and the State Board of Forestry shall, each separately, approve such exchanges by resolutions of the respective boards; and
(3) The county court or board of county commissioners of the county, or counties, in which such land is situated, shall approve such exchange, and after such approval the exchanges shall be consummated by legal conveyance from the Department of State Lands.
(4) Under the authority granted in this section, in addition to land to be exchanged, a monetary consideration may be provided or received where necessary to make the values comply with this section.
