Acquisitions Beyond Sums Allotted. No airport, air navigation facility, avigation easement, airport hazard, or real or personal property, the cost of which is in excess of sums fixed therefor by the joint agreement or allotted in the annual budget, may be acquired, established or developed by the joint board without the approval of the governing bodies of its constituent public agencies.
