(1) To lease from any public building commission created pursuant to the provisions of the Public Building Commission Act, approved July 5, 1955, and as amended from time to time, any real or personal property for the purpose of securing office or other space for its administrative corporate functions for a period of time not exceeding 40 years;

(3) To enter into such lease without making a previous appropriation for the expense thereby incurred; provided, however, that if the board of trustees of any sanitary district undertake to pay all or any part of the costs of operating and maintaining the property of a public building commission as authorized in sub-paragraph (4) of this section, such expense of operation and maintenance shall be included in the annual appropriation ordinance or annual budget, as the case may be, of such sanitary district annually during the term of such undertaking.

(4) In addition, the board of trustees of any sanitary district may undertake, either in the lease with a public building commission or by separate agreement or contract with a public building commission, to pay all or any part of the costs of operating and maintaining the property of a public building commission for any period of time not exceeding 40 years.
