                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

CONTRACTS FOR COLLECTION (§ 21-268)

Any commission, and any county, city or town in whole or in part embraced within
the district, are authorized to enter into a contract or contracts on such terms
and conditions as such contract or contracts may contain, providing for the
collection by such county, city or town and payment over to the commission of
the fees, rents or other charges charged or to be charged by the commission to
the owners or lessees or tenants of real estate within such county, city or
town, or providing for the payment to the commission by such county, city or
town of a sum or sums of money in lieu of all or part of the fees, rents and
other charges which would otherwise be charged by the commission to the owners
or lessees or tenants of real estate within such county, city or town. Such
county, city or town is vested with powers to do everything necessary or proper
to carry out and perform every such contract, including the same powers with
respect to fees, rents and other charges as are conferred by this chapter upon a
commission, and to provide for the payment or discharge of any obligation
thereunder by the same means and in the same manner as any other of its
obligations, except that no tax shall be levied on real estate for such
obligation. The commission is authorized to reduce ratably in accordance with
such contract the fees, rents and other charges which would otherwise be charged
by the commission to the owners or lessees or tenants of real estate within such
county, city or town, but nothing in this section or any such contract shall be
construed to prevent the commission from charging to and collecting from such
owners or lessees or tenants of such real estate, in the same manner as provided
for such fees, rents and other charges, any deficiency in any payment agreed to
be made by such county, city or town.
