the joint administration, technical support and management of the operations, maintenance, and capital  
costs associated with all the shared facilities for all of the signatory Districts, along with the  
methodology for determining the proportionate costs for each District. A variety of financial reports  
providing additional context, including payment registers and previously approved budgets, are available
