468.34. Every year, the management board must prepare a budget for the next fiscal period and submit it for adoption, before 1 October, to each municipality whose territory is under its jurisdiction.
It must at the same time indicate to each municipality an estimate of its financial contribution for the next fiscal period.
The budget must be adopted by not less than two-thirds of the municipalities. If the budget is thus adopted before 1 January, it comes into force on that date. If it has not been adopted by that date, it comes into force 15 days after its adoption by not less than two-thirds of the municipalities.
Where the budget has not come into force on 1 January, one of the municipalities may apply for conciliation on that point and section 468.53 applies, with the necessary modifications. The recourse provided by section 469 cannot be exercised in that case.
