39. The expenses incurred for assessment purposes by a municipality for the account of several local municipal corporations are apportioned between them proportionately to the total assessment appearing on the roll, upon its coming into force, for each of them.
However, such expenses may in addition be apportioned according to any criteria agreed to by the parties or, failing agreement, in the case of section 34, according to criteria determined by the Commission after inquiry.
Furthermore, where such expenses are incurred by a Community, they may be included in its budget for the fiscal year during which they were incurred and in such case, they are apportioned at the same time as the other expenses of the Community. The same applies to similar expenses provided for by a county corporation in respect of which the council of such corporation, notwithstanding the first two paragraphs, may determine the criteria of apportionment applicable to all the municipal corporations under its jurisdiction in lieu of any other such criteria. Article 681a of the Municipal Code applies to the expenses provided for by a county corporation for the purposes of this section.
