section must be enacted by the county imposing the registration

from registration fees may be used.
  (6) Two or more counties may act jointly to impose a
registration fee under this section. The ordinance of each county
acting jointly with another under this subsection must provide
for the distribution of moneys collected through a joint
registration fee.
  (7) Before the governing body of a county that overlaps a
district can impose a registration fee under this section, it
must enter into an intergovernmental agreement under ORS 190.010
with the governing bodies of that district and all counties,
other districts and cities with populations of over 300,000 that
overlap the district. The intergovernmental agreement must state
the registration fees and, if necessary, how the revenue from the
fees are to be apportioned among the counties and the districts.
Before the governing body of a county can enter into such an
intergovernmental agreement, the county shall consult with the
cities in its jurisdiction.
