county. The contract must fix the minimum number of patients to be
sent to the hospital for any year and the amount of compensation to be
paid for the care and treatment of those patients. The compensation
must not exceed the actual cost of the operation of the hospital plus the
interest charge on the bonded indebtedness of the hospital.
(b) The county fiscal body of the county contracting for the care and
treatment of tuberculosis patients shall appropriate an amount out of
the county general fund sufficient for the care and treatment of
tuberculosis patients and this fund constitutes a special fund. The
county may levy a tax for this purpose or the county executive may pay
the hospital out of the general fund.
