No county shall have the power to pay out of its general funds or otherwise contribute any part of the costs of acquiring a project, and shall not have the power to use land, already owned by the county or in which the county has an equity, for construction of a project or any part of it, unless the county is fully reimbursed for the value of the land as may be determined by a current appraisal or unless the county leases the land at an annual rental fee of not less than five percent of the appraised value. The entire cost of acquiring any project must be paid out of the proceeds from the sale of bonds issued under the authority of the County Industrial Revenue Bond Act [Chapter 4, Article 59 NMSA 1978]. This section shall not be construed to prevent a county from accepting donations of property to be used as a part of any project or money to be used for defraying any part of the cost of any project.
