A county which provides services through its appropriate departments, boards, commissions, officers or employees, to any city pursuant to contract or as authorized by law, shall charge the city all those costs which are incurred in providing the services so contracted or authorized.

Any determination of general overhead costs shall be subject to court review as to the reasonableness of such determination. This section does not apply to a contract or agreement in effect on December 31, 1983, made by a county.
