Annual Budget and Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Each member city contributes toward the Commissions' annual operating budgets based 50% on the area located within the watershed boundaries and 50% on the tax capacity of all property within the watershed. All financial accounting is handled by the Commissions' Treasurer, an elected officer. Monthly Treasurer's Reports are prepared, and are reviewed and approved by the Commissions at their monthly meetings. The accounts are reviewed annually by an independent auditor.

The Commissions may share 25% in the cost of qualifying watershed projects and 100% of lake internal load and stream restoration projects. Under the authority provided by Minn Stat 103B.251 Section VIII, Subd. 5, the Commissions certify their share of the cost of an approved capital project for payment by the county tax levy.
