In addition to the powers and authority now possessed by it, the Chicago Park District shall have the power: (1) To lease from any public building commission created pursuant to the provisions of the Public Building Commission Act, approved July 5, 1955, as heretofore or hereafter amended, any real or personal property for the purpose of securing office or other space for its administrative corporate functions for a period of time not exceeding 40 years; (2) To pay for the use of this leased property in accordance with the terms of the lease and with the provisions of the Public Building Commission Act, approved July 5, 1955, as heretofore or hereafter amended.

(4) In addition, the Chicago Park District may undertake, either in the lease with a Public Building Commission or by separate agreement or contract with a Public Building Commission, to pay all or any part of the costs of maintaining and operating the property of a Public Building Commission for any period of time not exceeding 40 years.
