A. It shall be the duty of the county excise board of each county if funds are available to make necessary appropriations to provide sufficient funds to pay the amounts due under any agreement entered into by the county board of health, or by any city, town, or school district of the county, for or in connection with a district department of health or a cooperative department of health; and such funds shall be accounted for, obligated, expended and disbursed as directed by the State Commissioner of Health, who may require any or all such funds to be combined with others to be used for similar or related purposes. B. The Commissioner may enter into agreements with county boards of health, and with city-county boards of health, whereby state funds will be used in conjunction with county funds for the operation of county, district, cooperative and city-county departments of health. The Commissioner may pay such funds on a reimbursement or percentage of budgetary expenditures basis, or other basis; and if directed to do so by the Commissioner, the county clerk shall add the amount of any such funds to specified items of appropriation, and no further action or appropriation by the county excise board shall be required to make such funds available for expenditure. C. Counties may, for the purposes of enhancing access to health initiatives and maximizing operational impact, agree to combine resources including county millage in a manner designating one county as the operational hub. In doing so, the millage provided by each county within the consortium shall be expended or reserved for the county of origin, ensuring each county's millage investment is expended for the benefit of the county residents.
