Each county and city forming a cooperative city-county planning commission, as herein provided, shall, by resolution, at the beginning of the fiscal year, or so soon thereafter as may be practicable, agree upon contribution in equal amounts, appropriate funds for the amounts necessary, and combine said funds. The board and council shall contribute the funds appropriated to a common fund periodically as may be agreed upon by the board and council, upon a claim being filed by the commission with the respective board and council. The contribution shall be made by warrant drawn by the appropriate officer, after approval of the claim, payable to the city treasurer or the county treasurer as may be agreed upon by the board and council. Said common fund shall be maintained by either the city treasurer or the county treasurer as may be agreed upon and shall be disbursed upon vouchers drawn by such officer as may be agreed upon by the board and council. Said vouchers shall be registered with the city treasurer or county treasurer, as the case may be, before delivery to the payee and shall be issued only in payment of claims which have been executed in the manner prescribed by law for claims against the county or the city and after such claims have been approved by the board and council. The officer designated by the board and council to draw vouchers for payment of such claims shall be bonded in an amount as may be required by the board and council but not less than Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00). The designated officer shall be governed by the same statutory provisions for depository accounts as apply to county officials. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as exempting the contributions of the city and county to this common fund from the application of the general statutes relating to appropriations. The city-county cooperative planning commission shall be designated "metropolitan area planning commission". Such city is hereby empowered to adopt, amend, extend, add to, or carry out a city plan for such city.
