(1)	To fund the operations of the authority for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2011, the State shall pay to the authority the sum of one million eight hundred eighty-five thousand one hundred eighty-one dollars ($1,885,181) and the Town of Butner shall pay to the authority the sum of one million seven hundred eighty-two thousand nine hundred ninety-five dollars ($1,782,995). The authority shall keep detailed time records tracking the amount of time spent providing fire and police protection both within and outside the corporate limits of the Town of Butner. Funding provided by the State pursuant to the contract in subsequent fiscal years shall be a percentage of the total budget set by the authority members determined by multiplying the total budget set by the authority by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the hours spent by the authority providing services outside of the corporate limits of the Town of Butner and the denominator of which shall be the total hours the authority provided services both within the corporate limits of the Town of Butner and outside the corporate limits of the Town of Butner. The authority may also contract with any department of State government to provide services within the Camp Butner Reservation to that department; provided, however, the contract with such department shall provide enough revenue to fully cover the costs of providing such services, and any receipts or expenditures pursuant to such a contract shall not be considered in setting each party's contribution percentage. The foregoing notwithstanding, neither party's contribution percentage shall increase or decrease more than ten percent (10%) per fiscal year.
(2)	The State and the Town of Butner each shall pay to the authority, on or before July 1 of each year, an amount equal to its funding percentage as described in subdivision (1) of this subsection. 		
(d)	Hiring of Director. – The authority shall contract with the Secretary of Crime Control and Public Safety to provide fire and police protection to the Camp Butner Reservation and the corporate limits of the Town of Butner so long as the Department provides the level of services required by the authority. In such event, the employees of the Department of Crime Control and Public Safety shall remain employees of the State. While the contract between the Secretary of Crime Control and Public Safety and the Town of Butner is in effect, the Secretary of Crime Control and Public Safety shall consult with the voting members of the authority concerning the Department's hiring of the Director of the authority. The consultation shall include, but not be limited to, the voting members of the authority reviewing and providing their comments to the Secretary of Crime Control and Public Safety on the credentials of the applicants for said position. In performing its functions under this subsection, the voting members of the authority shall have the same access to the applicants' personnel records pursuant to Article 7 of Chapter 126 of the General Statutes as the Secretary of Crime Control and Public Safety and are subject to the same restraints concerning the personnel information as set out in that Article. After consultation with the authority, the Secretary of Crime Control and Public Safety shall select and hire the Director of the authority.
(e)	Dissolution. – In the event that either the Town of Butner or the State fails to pay the authority its percentage share of the authority's budget as described in this section, the nonpaying party shall cease to be a participant in the authority at the expiration of the fiscal year for which it has last paid its percentage share of the budget for the authority. The remaining participant may file a notice with the Secretary of State indicating that it is the sole remaining participant in the authority. All of the property of the authority shall remain with the authority. At the expiration of the fiscal year for which the nonpaying party last paid its percentage share of the budget for the authority or at any time thereafter, the remaining participant in the authority also may file articles of dissolution dissolving the authority with the Secretary of State. In the case of such dissolution, the property of the authority shall be distributed to the remaining party filing the articles of dissolution."
