Prior to June 1 of each year, the board shall prepare a budget showing the amount it deems necessary to operate, equip, maintain and improve the hospital for the ensuing fiscal year and the amount of that portion thereof that it deems necessary to be raised by the tax authorized under K.S.A. 19-4606, and shall submit its proposed budget to the commission or, in case of an elected board, to the county clerk.
