Notwithstanding limitations imposed by the Revised Code to the contrary, a political subdivision may enter into a sale and leaseback agreement under which the legislative authority agrees to convey a building owned by the political subdivision to a purchaser who is obligated, immediately upon closing, to lease all or portions of the building back to the legislative authority. The sale and leaseback agreement shall obligate the lessor to make public improvements to all or portions of the building subject to the lease, including renovations, energy conservation measures, and other measures that are necessary to improve the functionality and reduce the operating costs of the portions of the building that are subject to the lease.
