§ 63-318.1. Whenever any city shall have been created from within
the boundaries of any county which has combined or consolidated with
any other county or city to establish a district home pursuant to this
chapter, the governing body of the county from which such city was
formed may transfer to such city a portion of its interest in such home

lation of such city and county. The governing body of such city may elect
a properly qualified representative to the district home board as soon as
practicable after any such transfer. Such city may thereafter use the
home jointly with the other owners thereof for the purpose for which the
home was established, in accordance with the provisions of this article and
subject to the rules and regulations of the home board.
