Proposed budget; approval
Sec. 7. The board of managers shall prepare a proposed budget for
each calendar year covering its projected operating expenses, its
estimated income, and reasonable reserves. At the same time, the
board shall prepare a report on the cost effectiveness of expenditures
for operating subsidies and promotion programs and submit the
report with the proposed budget. The board of managers shall submit
its proposed budget to the county council. The county council shall
review the board's proposed budget, and the county council shall
either approve, increase, or decrease the board's proposed budget.
However, the county council may not increase or decrease the
board's proposed budget unless two-thirds (2/3) of the members of
the county council vote in favor of the increase or decrease. The
board's proposed budget as approved, increased, or decreased by the
county council is the board's budget for the calendar year. The board
of managers may not make an expenditure which is not provided for
in the budget as approved, increased, or decreased by the county
council, unless the additional expenditure is approved by the county
council.
