(A) The Judge/Executive, with assistance from the County Treasurer and City Finance Director, shall prepare a budget for each ensuing year for the operation of the cooperative undertaking and will submit to the City Manager the proposed city share of the service costs, net of revenue offsets, on or before May 1 of each year. The budget shall include the projected cost of operation for each ensuing year. The budget shall also make a forecast of program revenue including, but not be limited to, all fines, fees, licenses, rentals, grants and private donations made to the program. The budget shall be prepared, submitted and recommended to the city and county on or before May 1 of each year.
(B) Each governmental unit shall have an opportunity to review the proposed budget and shall have the right to accept or reject the budget, which acceptance or rejection shall be made within 30 days of receipt.
(1) The funding formula shall be apportioned based upon cases responded to in the respective jurisdictions in the previous year. The information shall come from the daily log records kept by the chief Animal Control Officer. For example: If 60% of the working case load comes from calls made in the City of Paducah, then the proposed budget shall request an appropriation from the city equal to 60% of the budget.
(2) Capital expenses approved by the city and county will be equally shared provided they are part of the approved budget.
