Article 19.--CONSERVATION DISTRICTS

     
2-1907c.   Same; amount of moneys provided by county,
certification to
state; state financial assistance; budget request, limitation; disbursement and
distribution.

On or before September 1 of each year,
each conservation district shall
submit to the state conservation commission a certification of the
amount of money to be furnished by the county commissioners for
conservation district activities for the ensuing calendar year. Such amount
shall be the same as authorized for such purposes in
each approved county
budget. For the purpose of providing state financial assistance to
conservation districts, the state conservation commission in the regular budget
request, as a line item for the forthcoming
fiscal
year, shall submit a special request for an amount equal to the sum of the
allocations of each county to each conservation district, but in no
event to exceed the sum of $25,000 per district.
This $25,000 limitation shall be applicable for fiscal year 2008, and
thereafter, subject to appropriations therefor. The
state conservation
commission as
soon as practicable after July 1 of the following year shall disburse such
moneys as may be appropriated by the state for this purpose to each
conservation district to match funds allocated by the commissioners of
each county. Distribution shall be prorated in proportion to county
allocations in the event that appropriations are insufficient for
complete matching of funds. Municipal accounting procedures shall be
used in the distribution of and in the expenditure of all funds.
