(1) All items transferred under ORS 526.144, together with any equipment purchased from moneys transferred to the equipment pool, are available for all activities or programs participating in the equipment pool. However, upon use of such equipment for any activity or program, a reasonable use charge shall be made against such activity or program.

The forester shall at all times keep records showing the mileage and rental charges, and against which activity or program the charges are a claim.

All amounts so charged shall be credited to the State Forestry Department Account and, notwithstanding ORS 291.238, are available and shall be used exclusively for:
(a) The acquisition, operation, storage, maintenance, repair and replacement of equipment by the forester;
(b) Administrative expenses of the forester and the board in connection therewith; and
