B. The Counties agree to comply with the requirements of Section 29.008 Florida Statues

be presented to each of the four (4) Boards of County Commissioners for consideration during
the Board's normal budgetary process. The proposed budget shall be subject to the approval
of each of the four (4) Boards of County Commissioners. The Counties agree that the
proposed budget may not be increased without the consent of all four (4) counties. In the
event any of the four (4) Boards of County Commissioners determines to reduce the total
unified budget as proposed, the Board(s) reducing the proposed budget shall amend the
proposed total budget, adopt the amended total budget and notify the other counties of the
action taken on the budget within seven (7) days. The amended total budget, if reduced by
one (1) or more of the counties, shall be deemed to be the approved budget by all four (4)
counties. The Counties acknowledge that the effect of this section will be that any of the four
(4) Board of County Commissioners may reduce the total budget without the consent of the
other counties and that the lowest approved total budget shall be deemed to be the total
budget approved by the Counties. Budgets approved by each County should reflect the
amount they are willing to fund regardless of revenues received. Each County shall notify the
St. Lucie County Management and Budget Department of its final adopted budget for the fiscal
year no later than October 1 of each fiscal year, commencing on October 1, 2009.
3. Except as amended herein, the remaining terms and conditions of the Interlocal
