569.0.1. Every local municipality may make with any other local municipality, regardless of the law governing it, an agreement whereby they delegate to the regional county municipality whose territory includes their territories the exercise of all or part of a field within their jurisdiction.
However, the making of an agreement under the first paragraph must be preceded(1) by the tabling of a draft agreement at a sitting of the council of the regional county municipality;
(2) by the sending, by the clerk-treasurer of the regional county municipality, of a copy of the draft agreement to each local municipality whose territory is situated within that of the regional county municipality, together with a notice mentioning that each local municipality interested in making an agreement having the same content as that of the draft agreement must, within 60 days following receipt of those documents, transmit a resolution expressing its interest to the regional county municipality.
The agreement made by the local municipalities having expressed their interest in accordance with subparagraph 2 of the second paragraph binds, without further formality, the regional county municipality insofar as every expenditure arising from the implementation of the agreement is assumed entirely by the local municipalities.
Only the representatives of the local municipalities who have made the delegation provided for in the first paragraph are empowered to participate in the deliberations and vote of the council of the regional county municipality as regards the exercise of the delegated functions.
