statement and estimate

A municipal governing body may establish and maintain a

municipal hospital and do all things necessary and proper in its

discretion pursuant to the authority granted to it by the

Constitution and laws of this state to further the ability of the

municipality to provide hospital service. After the establishment

of a municipal hospital, the governing body shall include an item in

its municipal financial statement and estimate of needs for the

following fiscal year to maintain the hospital. The municipal

governing body may engage in transactions to manage, lease or

operate a medical facility outside the municipal limits to provide a

benefit to the community or lessen the burden of government which

does not solely provide a benefit by generating administrative fees.
