§ 244A.515. General powers of State in relation to facilities

The State, acting through the board, may in relation to the facilities of the State: 1. Acquire office space, equipment, services, supplies, fire and extended coverage

insurance, use and occupancy insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, property

damage insurance, public liability insurance for the State, the county and their respective

officers, agents and employees, and other types of insurance, as the board may determine,

but no provision herein authorizing the acquisition of insurance waives any immunity

of the State, the county or any director, officer or agent otherwise existing under

the laws of the State. 2. Pay or otherwise defray the cost of any project. 3. Establish, operate and maintain facilities within the county across or along any

public street, highway, bridge, viaduct or other public right-of-way, or in, upon,

under or over any vacant public lands, which public lands now are or may become the

property of the State, the county, or a public body, without first obtaining a franchise

from the county or the public body having jurisdiction over the same, but the State

shall cooperate with the county and any public body having such jurisdiction, shall

promptly restore any such street, highway, bridge, viaduct or other public right-of-way

to its former state of usefulness as nearly as may be, and shall not use the same

in such manner as permanently to impair completely or unnecessarily the usefulness

thereof. 4. Adopt, amend, repeal, enforce and otherwise administer such reasonable rules, regulations

and orders as the board determines necessary or convenient for the operation, maintenance,

management, government and use of the State's facilities and any other like facilities

under its control. 5. Adopt, amend, repeal, enforce and otherwise administer under the police power within

the territorial limits of the county such reasonable rules, regulations and orders

in relation to the collection, disposal or treatment of sewage and wastewater after

a public hearing thereon is held by the board, in connection with which any public

body in the area involved or otherwise exercising powers affecting the functions and

services therein of the State and persons of interest have an opportunity to be heard,

after mailed notice of the hearing is given by the clerk of the board to each such

public body and after notice of such hearing is given by publication by the clerk

to persons of interest, both known and unknown. 6. Sell and otherwise dispose of any by-products resulting from the operation of the

facilities.
