2-1907c. Same; amount of moneys provided by county, certification to state; state financial assistance; budget request, limitation; disbursement and distribution. On or before September 1 of each year, each conservation district shall submit to the Kansas department of agriculture division of conservation a certification of the amount of money to be furnished by the county commissioners for conservation district activities for the ensuing calendar year. Such amount shall be the same as authorized for such purposes in each approved county budget. For the purpose of providing state financial assistance to conservation districts, the Kansas department of agriculture division of conservation in the regular budget request, as a line item for the forthcoming fiscal year, shall submit a special request for an amount equal to the sum of the allocations of each county to each conservation district, but in no event to exceed the sum of $25,000 per district. This $25,000 limitation shall be applicable for fiscal year 2008, and thereafter, subject to appropriations therefor. The Kansas department of agriculture division of conservation as soon as practicable after July 1 of the following year shall disburse such moneys as may be appropriated by the state for this purpose to each conservation district to match funds allocated by the commissioners of each county. Distribution shall be prorated in proportion to county allocations in the event that appropriations are insufficient for complete matching of funds. Municipal accounting procedures shall be used in the distribution of and in the expenditure of all funds.
