TCA § 11-25-111 — Contribution of funding, facilities, and equipment — Financing

The governing body of the county, or the governing body of any city or town, adjacent to or in the proximity of any real property owned by the authority, has the right to contribute, out of the general fund or any special fund of such county or city, such amount as such legislative body sees fit, to be used in the preliminary expenses of the authority, or in the maintenance of the authority, or for capital improvements or projects of the authority. For the purpose of aiding and cooperating with the authority, the governing body may assign or loan any of its employees, and may provide necessary office space, equipment, and other facilities, for the use of the authority, as the governing body may approve. In addition to the methods of financing authorized in this chapter, administrative costs of the authority as well as the cost of any general plan, improvement, project, program, or work benefiting the authority or in support of the purposes for which the authority is organized, generally may be financed by any fee, special assessment, or general fund tax revenue appropriated by a public or private act of the general assembly.
