(d) "Using subdivision" means any political subdivision of this State which is authorized to establish and maintain public parks.
2. The Administrator, subject to the approval of the Director, may enter into cooperative agreements for the operation of parks, not a part of the Division but which are of state park caliber, with any other state agency, controlling subdivision or using subdivision, for the primary purpose of establishing or maintaining a park where:

3. Such an agreement must include:

(b) The using subdivision in which the site is located; and
(c) The controlling subdivision or other state agency.
The agreement may include any other using subdivision whose residents may be expected to make substantial use of the park.
4. The Division shall apportion the cost of operation, or the combined state and local shares of the cost if federal funds are also received, as follows:
(a) As between the State and the using subdivision or subdivisions, on the basis of the number of persons residing outside the using subdivisions, as against the number of residents of such subdivisions, who are estimated or anticipated by the Division to use the park.
(b) As between two or more using subdivisions, on the basis of the number of residents of each so estimated or anticipated to use the park.
5. In addition to the cooperative agreements authorized pursuant to subsection 2, the Administrator, subject to the approval of the Director, may enter into a cooperative agreement with a using subdivision for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a park that:
(a) Is under the jurisdiction of the Division; and
