§ 6-9-1-7 — Proposed budget; approval

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.
