The county in which a county jail district is established shall maintain its support of corrections facilities and services operated, maintained and performed by the district.

The auditor general shall determine the amount expended by the county for maintenance and operation of correctional facilities and programs in the fiscal year immediately preceding the first fiscal year in which a county jail district tax levy is effective under this article.

This total amount is the base expenditure.
