§ 15-2503. Finances.

The financial affairs of each sub-district shall be handled as a unit

and in accordance with the provisions of title 25 of this article which

apply thereto. Compensation of the members of the board, salaries of

regular employees of the regulating district, together with expenses and

general operating costs shall be allocated by the board on a time basis

among the sub-districts and paid from district funds. Such payments

shall not operate to change the status of any member, officer or

employee, nor shall they result in an increment in the rate of payment

made to them, computed on an annual basis. Preliminary costs incurred in

the formation of a sub-district shall be reimbursed from sub-district

funds if the sub-district is formed; otherwise they shall be a charge

against the signers of the petition. Funds raised under the provisions

of title 21 of this article cannot be used in connection with any river

or drainage improvement district or sub-district.
