32       a planning commission may be determined by ordinance or resolution. If

  5       providing for removal of members of the planning commission.
  6             (c) Any two or more cities or counties of this state may cooperate,
  7       pursuant to written agreement, in the exercise and performance of plan-
  8       ning powers, duties and functions. Any city or county of this state may
  9       cooperate, pursuant to written agreement, with any city or county of any
10       other state having adjoining planning jurisdiction in the exercise and per-
11       formance of any planning powers, duties and functions provided by state
12       law for cities and counties of this state and to the extent that the laws of
13       such other state permit such joint cooperation. Any agreement entered
14       pursuant to this subsection shall be subject to the provisions of K.S.A.
15       12-2901 et seq., and amendments thereto. If such agreement provides

23       gion comprising that portion of the areas of planning jurisdiction of the
24       cities or counties cooperating jointly as shall be designated by the joint
25       ordinances and resolutions. Such a joint planning commission for the

32       cooperate in two or more metropolitan area or regional planning com-
33       missions. Any regional or metropolitan planning commission in existence
34       on the effective date of this act shall continue in existence, but shall be
35       governed by the provisions of this act.
