The Council shall provide, by July 1 of each year, an estimate of the next fiscal year’s membership fee to the governing body of each county local government member unit. Each county local government member unit shall include in its annual budget and provide to the Council funds in an amount sufficient to fund its proportionate share of the Council's adopted budget.
111(3) The proportionate share of the Council’s budget shall be an amount that bears the same ratio to the local share of the total annual Council budget as the population of each county local government member unit bears to the total population of all participatory counties. The local share is the total annual budget minus funds supplied to the Council under contract with Federal or State agencies.
178(4) The Council, in adopting its annual budget, shall establish a reasonable minimum financial contribution from each county local government member unit.

All checks over $1,000 are to be signed by two (2) of the above-designated persons.
314(8) The budget and such other changes, amendments or supplements as are necessary to conduct the fiscal affairs of the Council shall be amended by action of the Council provided, however, that the budget may not be amended to increase the annual per capita contribution by the county local government member units.
