2. The governing bodies of the participating municipalities shall, by agreement, provide for the appointment of a joint municipal tax assessor and other necessary personnel, for the apportionment of the costs and expenses of operation of such office among the participating municipalities, for the addition of other municipalities in the same county and such other terms and conditions as may be necessary and convenient for the establishment and maintenance of the office.
