(a)(1) Subject to the provisions of this subpart, the committee shall have the power to approve and reject requests made to it by the authority for expenditures and appropriations of all moneys and other properties, if any, on deposit in the Shoals Economic Development Fund, including particularly, but without limitation, the revenues deposited into such fund and derived at any time from the levy and collection of the county sales and use taxes. It is hereby expressly provided that an expenditure or appropriation of any moneys on deposit in the Shoals Economic Development Fund may be made if and only if, prior thereto, each of the following occur: a. The board of directors of the authority first duly adopts a resolution requesting the committee to approve such expenditure or appropriation. b. A certified copy of such resolution is presented to the committee at a meeting thereof. c. In accordance with succeeding provisions of this section and Section 45-17-91.24, the committee duly adopts a resolution approving such expenditure or appropriation. (2) The text of such resolution shall be spread upon the minutes of such meeting of the committee and no expenditure or appropriation requested in such resolution shall be valid unless the text of such resolution has been so spread upon the minutes of such meeting of the committee. (b) The committee may by resolution either approve or reject any such request so presented to it by the authority; and if such request specifies more than one expenditure or appropriation, the committee may approve or reject each such expenditure or appropriation separately, but it shall not be required or obligated to do so. If the committee has not, within 90 days after presentation to it of a certified copy described in paragraph b. of subdivision (1) of subsection (a), duly adopted a resolution approving an expenditure or appropriation requested in such resolution, then such expenditure shall be deemed to have been rejected, whether or not the committee has, on a timely basis, approved any other expenditure requested in such resolution. (c) Except for the committee, no governmental agency, public corporation, or other public body whatever, including particularly, but without limitation, those described in subsection (b) of Section 45-17-91.23, shall have any power either to approve, authorize, direct, require, or compel any expenditure, appropriation, or investment of moneys on deposit in the Shoals Economic Development Fund; and the committee shall have no power to consider any request from any such agency, corporation, or body, except the authority, pertaining to any such expenditure, appropriation, or investment.
