(d) To enter into written agreements with, and within the limits of appropriations duly made available to it by law, to furnish financial or other aid to any agency, governmental or otherwise, or any owner or occupier, or both of them, of lands within the district, for the purpose of carrying on soil erosion control and prevention operations within the district.
(f) To borrow money and to mortgage personal property of the district as security therefor, provided that landowners are given an opportunity to be heard at a public hearing in the district, notice of which shall be given according to rules prescribed by the department.
(p) To purchase liability or indemnity insurance, in such amounts and containing such terms and conditions as they may deem necessary, for the protection of directors, officers and employees of the district against claims against them incurred by such directors, officers and employees in the performance of their official duties.
