Without such agreement, all improvements will be constructed pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 103B.251. The Commission and Anoka County may establish a maintenance fund to be used for normal and routine maintenance of an improvement constructed in whole or in part with money provided by Anoka County pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 103B.251. The levy and collection of an ad valorem tax levy for maintenance shall be by Anoka County based upon a tax levy resolution adopted by a majority vote of all eligible Commissioners and remitted to the County on or before the date prescribed by law each year. If it is determined to levy for maintenance, the Commission shall be required to follow the hearing process established by Minnesota Statutes, Sections 103D.915 and 103D.921. Mailed notice shall be sent to the Clerk of each Member at least 30 days prior to the hearing. Subdivision 4. On or before July 1 of each year, the Board shall adopt a detailed budget for the ensuing year and decide upon the total amount necessary for the general fund. Budget approval shall require a favorable vote by a majority of all eligible votes of the then existing Commissioners. The secretary of the Board shall certify the budget on or before July 1 to the Clerk of each Member together with a statement of the proportion of the budget to be provided by each Member. The Council of each Member agrees to review the budget, and the Board shall upon notice from any Member received prior to August 1, hear objections to the budget, and may, upon notice to all Members and after a hearing, modify or amend the budget, and then give notice to the Members of any and all modifications or amendments. Each Member agrees to provide the funds required by the budget and said determination shall be conclusive if no Member enters objections in writing on or before August 1. If no objections are submitted to the Board, each Member agrees to provide the funds approved by the Board, after the Board has conducted the aforementioned hearing.
