2. Administration, which shall include the cost of the county fire coordinator and his staff and their operations, supplies and equipment,

3. Capital improvements, which shall include the cost of purchasing buildings and major vehicle and equipment purchases. Such budget shall list all funds which the fire-rescue commission anticipates will be available for the operation of the new district. All funds appropriated or granted to the new district, including funds appropriated by the council, shall be deposited and expended as provided for in the budget. All funds appropriated or granted to the new district shall be used exclusively for providing fire protection and rescue services. All financial procedures relating to the new district, including audits, shall conform to the procedures established by the council;

B. To submit to the council annually the amount of funding recommended to be appropriated for the upcoming fiscal year in order to defray the cost of the fire-rescue program;
