Any regional council of elected officials established under the provisions of section 4-124c is authorized to receive for its own use and purposes any funds from any source, including the state and federal governments, and including bequests, gifts or contributions made by any individual, corporation or association. Any town, city or borough participating in a regional council of elected officials shall annually appropriate funds for the expenses of such council in the performance of its purposes. Such funds shall be appropriated and paid in accordance with a dues formula established by the regional council of elected officials. Such council may withhold any services it deems advisable from any town, city or borough which has failed to pay such dues. Within the amounts so received a council may engage employees and contract with professional consultants, municipalities, the state and the federal governments, other regional councils of governments, regional councils of elected officials, regional planning agencies and other intertown, regional or metropolitan agencies, or with any one or more of them, and may enter into contracts from time to time to carry out its purpose.
