(b) Acquisitions Beyond Sums Allotted. No airport, air navigation facility, airport hazard, or real or personal property, the cost of which is in excess of sums therefor fixed by the joint agreement or allotted in the annual budget, may be acquired by the joint board without the approval of the governing bodies of its constituent public agencies.

(c) Eminent Domain. (1) Eminent domain proceedings under this section may be instituted only by authority of the governing bodies of the constituent public agencies of the joint board.

(d) Disposal of Real Property. The joint board shall not dispose of any airport, air navigation facility, or real property under its jurisdiction except with the consent of the governing bodies of its constituent public agencies.

Any resolutions, rules, regulations, or orders of the joint board dealing with subjects authorized by 14-361-111 shall become effective only upon approval of the governing bodies of the constituent public agencies provided that, upon such approval, the resolutions, rules, regulations, or orders of the joint board shall have the same force and effect in the territories or jurisdictions involved as the ordinances, resolutions, rules, regulations, or orders of each public agency would have in its own territory or jurisdiction.
