107.370 Powers of board. In addition to its general powers specified in KRS 107.310 to 107.500, the board, after
approval of any proposed project by resolution of the fiscal court, shall have power to
finance and construct buildings and related facilities for the joint or separate use of any
one (1) or more of the governmental units within the territorial limits of the county, or of
federal agencies, and to convey or lease said buildings and facilities in whole or in part, or
space therein, to said governmental units or federal agencies in accordance with the
provisions of KRS 107.310 to 107.500. The board may cause any such building and
related facilities to be designed in anticipation of reasonably foreseeable future needs; and
to the extent the capacity thereof may be surplus to needs existing at the time of
occupancy, such surplus capacity may be leased to nongovernmental persons or parties,
subject to cancellation upon reasonable notice when such capacity or facilities shall be
required for the purposes of governmental units. Said board shall have the government,
management, regulation, control and operation of any buildings financed, constructed and
leased pursuant to the provisions of KRS 107.310 to 107.500 and shall have the power to
improve, reconstruct, repair and maintain said buildings and all additions thereto;
provided, however, that the board may contract with the lessee of any building for the
maintenance and operation of such building. The board shall also have power, acting in
the name of the district, as follows:
(1) To condemn, appropriate, lease, rent, purchase and hold any real estate, regardless of whether the same be then held for a governmental or public use, and materials or

public telephones, news and cigar stands and vending machines shall be let on open
and competitive bidding, and to employ such managers, superintendents, architects,
engineers, attorneys, auditors, clerks, foremen, custodians, and other employees, as
it may deem necessary for the proper carrying on and operation of any such
buildings and to fix compensation of all such employees; provided, however, that
