Montgomery City Code, App. A, ch. 9, art. I, § 2
in effectSec. 2. - Same; formula.
That in all such counties and municipalities the proportion of contribution to be made to any budget of a county health department as between such counties and incorporated municipalities therein shall be determined by the following formula, to-wit: Add to the total population within the boundaries of any such county the total population within the boundaries of all incorporated municipalities within such county, to arrive at a common denominator, and such county shall contribute the proportion of such budget that the total population within its boundaries bears to said common denominator, and each incorporated municipality in such county shall contribute the proportion of said budget that the total population within its boundaries bears to said common denominator. The population to be used in said formula shall be the population of such counties and municipalities according to the most recent federal decennial census. The following is an example of the application of said formula: Assume that the county of "A" has a population of 140,000, the city of "B" a population of 100,000 and the city of "C" a population of 10,000. The common denominator, therefore, would be 250,000, and the proportionate contribution to the county health department by each governmental unit would be as follows: county of "A", 14/25 , city of "B" 10/25 , and city of "C", 1/25 . If the annual budget of the county health department to be apportioned between the county of "A" and the cities of "B" and "C" is $100,000.00, the county of "A" would contribute 14/25 of $100,000.00 or $56,000.00, the city of "B" would contribute 10/25 of $100,00.00 or $40,000.00, and the city of "C" would contribute 1/25 of $100,00.00 or $4,000.00.
