        28A.16  BUDGET AND APPROPRIATION.
         Annually, the board shall prepare and adopt a budget and provide
      appropriations as follows:
         1.  The budget shall show the amount required for each class of
      proposed expenditures, a comparison of the amounts proposed to be
      expended with the amounts expended for like purposes for the two
      preceding years, if available, and the sources of revenue.
         2.  Not less than twenty days before the date that a budget must
      be certified as determined by the board and not less than ten days
      before the date set for the hearing under subsection 3, the board
      shall file the budget with the treasurer of the authority.  The
      treasurer shall post a copy of the budget in the authority offices
      for public inspection and comment.
         3.  The board shall set a time and place for a public hearing on
      the budget before the final certification date and shall publish
      notice of the hearing not less than ten nor more than twenty days
      prior to the hearing in one or more newspapers serving the greater
      metropolitan area.  Proof of publication shall be filed with and
      preserved by the treasurer.
         4.  At the hearing, any resident or taxpayer of the greater
      metropolitan area may present to the board objections to or arguments
      in favor of any part of the budget.
         5.  After the hearing, the board shall adopt by resolution a
      budget and shall direct the treasurer to properly certify and file
      the budget.
         6.  The board shall appropriate, by resolution, the amounts deemed
      necessary for the ensuing fiscal year.  All revenue from taxes, fees,
      tolls, rental, charges, bonds, or any other source shall be
      appropriated and used for the specific metropolitan facility project
      for which it was collected or similar metropolitan facility projects.
      Increases or decreases in these appropriations do not require a
      budget amendment, but may be provided by resolution at a regular
      meeting of the board.
