board or the county board that | ||||||
| 5 | relate to agreements or contracts between the

or housing components. | ||||||
| 26 | The contract may provide for the private organization or
| ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | organizations to manage some or all operations of the factory | ||||||
| 2 | and may provide
for (i) payment of employee compensation and | ||||||
| 3 | taxes; (ii) discharge of other
legal responsibilities; (iii) | ||||||
| 4 | sale of products; (iv) disposition of the
