A full-time county or district board of health shall, at least two weeks before the dates specified by law for the setting up of official budgets, estimate the total cost of operating and maintaining the department for the ensuing fiscal year and the amount of moneys that may be available from unexpended surpluses and from grants or donations from all other sources.
