COSTS Ll

-.-,
-

In February of each year, the COITmission shall adopt a
budget for the ensuing fiscal year beginning July first.

Such budget shall set forth the total cost of main-
tenance and operating of gaging stations, of evaporation
stations, the cost of engineering and clerical aid, and all
other necessary expenses excepting the salaries and personal
expenses of the Rio Grande Compact Commissioners.

Contributions made directly by the United States and
the cost of services rendered by the United States without
cost shall be deducted from the total budget amount; the
remainder shall then be allocated equally to Colorado,
New Mexico and Texas.

Expenditures made directly by any State for purposes
set forth in the budget shall be credited to that State;
contributions in cash or in services by any State under a
cooperative agreement with any federal agency shall be
credited to such State, but the amount of the federal con-
tribution shall not so be credited; in event any State,
through contractual relationships, causes work to be done
in the interest of the Commission, such State shall be
credited with the cost thereof, unless such cost is borne
by the United States.

Costs incurred by the Commission under any cooperative
agreement between the Commission and any U.S. Government
Agency, not borne by the United States, shall be appor-
tioned equally to each State, and each Commissioner shall
arrange for the prompt payment of one-third thereof by his
S ta te .

The Commissioner of each State shall report at the
annual meeting each year the amount of money expended
during the year by the State which he represents, as well
as the portion thereof contributed by all cooperating
federal agencies, and the Commission shall arrange for such
proper reimbursement in cash or credits between States as
may be necessary to equalize the contributions made by
each State in the equipment, maintenance and operation of
all gaging stations authorized by the Commission and
established under the terms of the Compact.

It shall be the duty of each Commissioner to endeavor
to secure from the Legislature of his State an appropriation
of sufficient funds with which to meet the obligations of
his State, as provided by the Compact.
