7-57-401. Annual report by trustees Budgets, preparation, hearings and approvals.

The board of trustees of each authority created under this chapter shall file an annual report with the governing body or bodies of the creating and participating municipalities of the authority for the fiscal year. The board shall also prepare and submit to the creating and participating municipalities at such times and in such form as they shall specify an annual operating budget, a capital budget, and a five (5) year capital improvement program. The creating and participating municipalities shall hold a public hearing on such budgets, and representatives of the board of trustees shall be present. After such hearing, the creating and participating municipalities in accordance with their contract with the authority shall determine the amount of appropriation they shall make for the operation of the authority's hospital facilities and for any capital expenditures for the purchase, construction, expansion or improvement of any hospital project or other facility constructed, maintained and operated by the authority, and shall approve an annual operating budget, a capital budget, and a five (5) year capital improvement program. If a creating or participating municipality makes no contribution to the annual operating budget or to the capital budget, then its approval of the budgets shall no longer be required pursuant to this section.
