N.D. Cent. Code § 48-02.1-11: Joint authority

When a fee-based facility is or will be situated in the jurisdiction of more than one public authority, or is or will be an interstate or international facility, the applicable authorities concerned may enter into a compact to delegate to one or more of the authorities or a board appointed by the various authorities the authority to exercise all of the powers, duties, and functions of the other authorities regarding the fee-based facility, including the authority to negotiate and administer the development agreement and any related lease and fee-based concession agreement. In addition, if all public authorities having jurisdiction over a fee-based facility concur, title to or authority over the facility may be tendered to the agreed-upon authority of choice, which may at its option accept the title of authority to administer pursuant to the development agreement and this section.
