(1) Except as otherwise provided in section 6, by April 1 of each year, the hospital board shall cause a balanced budget to be prepared containing an itemized statement of the estimated current expenses and the expenses for capital outlay, including the amount necessary to pay the principal and interest of any outstanding bonds or other obligations of the authority maturing before the time of the following year’s tax collection or which have previously matured and are unpaid, and an estimate of the revenue of the hospital authority from all sources for the ensuing fiscal year. The board shall publish notice of a public hearing on the budget stating the time and place. Notice of hearing shall be furnished the legislative body of each city, village, or township participating in the hospital authority.

    (2) After the public hearing, the board shall adopt the budget as shall be considered necessary and shall ascertain what amount is required to be raised by taxation from the several cities, townships, and villages to meet their respective shares of the amount of the budget in excess of the estimated other revenues. The share of each city, village, and township shall be determined on the basis of their respective valuations as finally equalized. The assessed valuation of a township for the purpose shall be exclusive of the property within a village which, as a corporate entity, is a member of the authority, and the assessed valuation of a member village shall be computed pursuant to the township assessment roll so as to afford a uniform assessment basis. A member township containing in whole or in part a member village shall levy taxes under this act only against property located outside the village. The board shall certify to each participating city, township, and village the amount to be raised by them and the respective cities, townships, and villages shall include those amounts in their next ensuing budgets, and shall pay the amount so certified from funds they have available or from the proceeds of a tax which they are authorized to levy, in an amount sufficient therefor, but not exceeding the tax limitation provided in this act exclusive of any amount voted for capital improvements under section 4 or necessary to pay principal and interest on bonds issued under section 8b. A village located in a township that is also a member of the authority, by agreement with the township, may have the township include the village property in a tax assessment under this act, collect the money assessed, and pay it to the village for payment of its share to the authority. Payment of the sums certified shall be due and payable to the hospital authority 120 days after the date on which local taxes become due and payable in cities, villages, and townships participating in the hospital authority except that when a township collects a village portion, the amount due from the village shall not be due to the authority until the township portion is due. Each city, township, and village shall be liable for the amount certified.

    (3) The board shall also render to each participating city, township, and village on each July 1 and January 1 a certified report pertaining to the operation of the hospital. Each report shall state the condition of the finances, the amount of money expended, the money received from all sources, the money owing to the board for hospital and medical services, and other information as the board may consider expedient. The board shall also file a copy of the report with the department of treasury together with other information as the department of treasury may require.

    (4) Within 30 days after the formation of a new hospital authority, and annually on July 1 thereafter, the hospital board shall file with the secretary of state a report as the secretary of state may require, including the date of formation, the names of the member communities, and other information the secretary of state may require.
