    (a) The commission shall annually adopt a capital budget including all capital projects it proposes to undertake or continue during the budget period containing a statement of the estimated cost of each project and the method of financing thereof.

    (b) The commission shall annually adopt a current expense budget for each fiscal year.  Such budget shall include the commission's estimated expenses for  administration, operation, maintenance and repairs, including a separate statement thereof for each project, together with its cost allocation.  The total of such expenses shall be balanced by the commission's estimated revenues  from all sources, including the cost allocations undertaken by any of the  signatory parties in connection with any project.  Following the adoption of  the annual current expense budget by the commission, the executive director of  the commission shall:

    (1) certify to the respective signatory parties the amounts due in accordance with existing cost sharing established for each project;  and

    (2) transmit certified copies of such budget to the principal budget officer  of the respective signatory parties at such time and in such manner as may be  required under their respective budgetary procedures.  The amount required to  balance the current expense budget in addition to the aggregate amount of item  (1) above and all other revenues available to the commission shall be  apportioned equitably among the signatory parties by unanimous vote of the  commission, and the amount of such apportionment to each signatory party shall  be certified together with the budget.

    (c) The respective signatory parties covenant and agree to include the amounts so apportioned for the support of the current expense budget in their respective budgets next to be adopted, subject to such review and approval as may be required by their respective budgetary processes.  Such amounts shall be  due and payable to the commission in quarterly installments during its fiscal  year, provided that the commission may draw upon its working capital to finance  its current expense budget pending remittances by the signatory parties.
