Any and all funds as received by the commission for long-range
study and planning shall be used specifically for this purpose, and
no other.

(b) The Commission is directed to adopt a five year projected
program of major extensions of sewer and water facilities in the
Sanitary District and in such other areas within Anne Arundel
County as the Commission may deem appropriate for inclusion
within the Sanitary District within the next five years, and to
revise and bring up to date on or before the first day of October
in each year thereafter such program by the addition thereto
of additional projects to be added to such extension program,
and annual revision thereof shall set forth the order of construction
priority and estimated cost of each project included therein. Said
Commission shall thereafter adhere to and follow such program in
the priority established for the extension of its facilities and shall
not deviate or depart from such order of priority until and unless
said Commission by resolution shall determine and declare that,
for the immediate preservation of the public health and safety,
it is necessary to change the order of priority and to direct the
extension of such facilities without regard to the order of priority
previously established, and except as otherwise required by this
Section.

Thirty or more days before the adoption of its annual five year
sewer and water construction programs the Commission shall trans-
mit to the Board of County Commissioners and the Planning and
Zoning Commission its proposed programs, including dates of con-
struction priority and estimated cost of the projects included therein,
along with a general statement in explanation of such proposed pro-
grams, and the Commission shall not thereafter adopt its final con-
struction programs for the ensuing five years until it shall have
received from said Board of County Commissioners and Planning
and Zoning Commission its comment on the proposed programs and
priorities or until thirty days shall have passed, whichever shall be
sooner. If said Board of County Commissioners or Planning and
Zoning Commission shall recommend any changes or deletions in
the proposed programs, it shall state its reasons therefor, and the
Sanitary Commission shall re-examine its proposed programs and
give due weight to the aforesaid recommendations before making
final adoption of the programs, it being the intent herein that the
aforesaid Commissions shall make every reasonable effort to reach
agreement with the programs required by this Section but that the
Sanitary Commission's right to make the final decision in the event
of disagreement shall not be impaired. If the Commission shall pro-
pose a resolution amending any duly adopted construction program
or schedule of priorities, in accordance with this Section, such pro-
posed resolution shall, before final adoption, be transmitted to the
said Board of County Commissioners and Planning and Zoning
Commission and the same procedures shall be followed as set forth
above for the five-year programs and annual revisions thereof.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
June 1, 1961.

Approved May 3, 1961.
