It may provide for the amount of money to be contributed annually by the county and city for the upkeep and maintenance of the property and the building or buildings thereon, or it may provide for the relative proportion of such expense, which the county and city shall annually pay.
The contract may specify the parts of such building or buildings which shall be set apart for the exclusive use and occupation of the county and city.
