from the United States, or any department, instrumentality, or agency
thereof, in the acquisition, construction, maintenance, and

State or any public agency may make public contributions to the
district as in the judgment of the Legislature, or the governing
board of the agency, are necessary or proper for its undertaking, and
the district may reimburse the State or public agency for any such
advance or contribution from the proceeds of the sale of bonds or any
other funds available to the district, except that any agreement
requiring reimbursement of contributions or advances by obligating
the district to incur an indebtedness will be subject to the
procedures and limitations provided in Chapter 8 of this part. The
State or any public agency may also authorize, aid and assist the
district to carry out any activity which the State or public agency
is by law authorized to perform and carry out on its own behalf.
