<br />
<br />COSTS Ll
<br />
<br />In February of each year, the Commission shall adopt a
<br />budget for the ensuing fiscal year beginning July first.
<br />
<br />Such budget shall set forth the total cost of main-
<br />tenance and operating of gaging stations, of evaporation
<br />stations, the cost of engineering and clerical aid, and all
<br />other necessary expenses excepting the salaries and personal
<br />expenses of the Rio Grande Compact Commissioners.
<br />
<br />Contributions made directly by the United States and
<br />the cost of services rendered by the United States without
<br />cost shall be deducted from the total budget amount; the
<br />remainder shall then be allocated equally to Coloradb,
<br />New Mexico and Texas.
<br />
<br />Expenditures made directly by any State for purposes
<br />set forth in the budget shall be credited to that State;
<br />contributions in cash or in services by any State under a
<br />cooperative agreement with any federal agency shall be
<br />credited to such State, but the amount of the federal con-
<br />tribution shall not so be credited; in event any State,
<br />through contractual relationships, causes work to be done
<br />in the interest of the Commission, such State shall be
<br />credited with the cost thereof, unless such cost is borne
<br />by the United States.
<br />
<br />Costs incurred by the Commission under any cooperative
<br />agreement between the Commission and any U.S. Government
<br />Agency, not borne by the United States, shall be appor-
<br />tioned equally to each State, and each Commissioner shall
<br />arrange for the prompt payment of one-third thereof by his
<br />State.
<br />
<br />The Commissioner of each State shall report at the
<br />annual meeting each year the amount of money expended
<br />during the year by the State which he represents, as well
<br />as the portion thereof contributed by all cooperating
<br />federal agencies, and the Commission shall arrange for such
<br />proper reimbursement in cash or credits between States as
<br />may be necessary to equalize the contributions made by
<br />each State in the equipment, maintenance and operation of
<br />all gaging stations authorized by the Commission and
<br />established under the terms of the Compact.
<br />
<br />It shall be the duty of each Commissioner to endeavor
<br />to secure from the Legislature of his State an appropriation
<br />of sufficient funds with which to meet the obligations of
<br />his State, as provided by the Compact.
