(1) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to deprive the fiscal court or other governing authority of any county or city of its jurisdiction and control over any levee or drain established or constructed under its authority. However, any such improvement may be used as an outlet for any drain established under this chapter, and the governing authority of the county or city may, in its discretion, delegate to the board jurisdiction and control or a joint use and control over the improvement upon any conditions agreed upon between them. This agreement shall be written, approved by the parties to it, and recorded upon the minutes of the proceedings of both bodies.
(2) The fiscal court or other governing authority of the county or city may, when in its judgment the public interests and welfare justify it, make appropriations to aid any district in constructing or maintaining any improvement provided for in this chapter or under the control of the board.
