(b) The department is authorized to obtain roof releases from the owners of buildings upon which air markers are to be painted, or otherwise to obtain permission from such owners to use such roofs for such purposes, and to pay the owners reasonable and nominal rentals therefor, if payment is necessary in order to obtain the appropriate permission for the use of such roofs for such purposes.
