Nothing in this chapter prevents the public utilities staff, the public service commission staff or the commission from entering into agreements with other agencies to coordinate and share services, to conduct joint projects or investigations on matters within the authority and jurisdiction of the parties thereto, or to temporarily assign staff to such projects. No cooperative effort shall interfere with the independence and integrity of either the commission, the public service commission staff, the public utilities staff or any other agency that is a party.
