Sec. 31. (a) If the annual budget and appropriations, or any additional appropriations or transfers of money, made or proposed by the board of directors, excluding any cumulative building money:
(1) is not based upon or derived in part from a tax levy on property in the county or city; and
(2) involves only the funds of the hospital derived wholly from other sources than property taxes;
the board only needs to adopt a resolution for the approval of the budget appropriations, additional appropriations, or transfers and file a true copy of the budget appropriations, additional appropriations, or transfers and the resolution in the offices of the county auditor and city clerk-treasurer within seven (7) days after board action for the information of the public.
(b) If the funds are not derived from taxation, the city fiscal body may review, consider, and file objections and take an appeal to the department of local government finance upon the following:
(1) An annual budget and any appropriations in the budget and request the reduction or elimination of any item.
(2) Additional appropriations or transfers of funds, or any part of additional appropriations or transfers of funds, within ten (10) days after the certificate has been filed in the clerk-treasurer's office.
The ruling and action of the department of local government finance is final and conclusive.
(c) The annual budget and appropriations may be revised by the board of directors by increasing or decreasing items in the budget based on revenues derived from sources other than property taxes and by transfer from any items of the budget and appropriations to other items of the budget, without giving legal notice or any public hearing. However, a copy of each resolution changing the budget or any appropriations or transfers of funds shall be filed with the city clerk-treasurer and county auditor within seven (7) days after the passage of each resolution. The resolution is subject to appeal by the city fiscal body to the department of local government finance for final action in the manner and within the period provided in this section.
(d) The governing board shall annually file a condensed annual report of receipts and expenditures of all hospital funds. Expenses or income items may be summarized in a fair and an accurate manner for the information of all taxpayers and citizens. A copy of the annual report covering the preceding calendar year shall be filed in the city clerk-treasurer's office and in the county auditor's office on or before the first Monday in March. Detailed information on the items must be available for inspection by the public at the hospital administrator's office.
