The agreement may provide that county funds appropriated for the county’s portion of such plans or in excess of the county’s portion of the cost of such plans shall be refunded to the county fund out of which the contribution was originally appropriated, when the county, municipal, or regional planning commission receives federal or other funds in payment for such projects. The agreement may provide that only allowable reimbursable expenses shall be included in calculating the county’s portion of the costs. The terms of the agreement may include other provisions mutually agreed upon.
