B. The Coalition Treasurer shall submit invoices for the annual fee to the designated representative of each Coalition Member no later than January 30 of each calendar year. If, after receipt of such invoice, any Coalition Member shall fail to pay such fee within 60 days (or, for fiscal years that begin later than January |, within 60 days of the beginning of its next fiscal year), it shall thereupon cease to be a Coalition Member. C. The Coalition Executive Board will review the annual membership fee and projected expenses for the Coalition each year. Should the Coalition determine an increase is necessary, the Coalition membership will receive notice 6 months in advance of the increase taking effect. D. The Coalition shall designate and authorize a qualified municipality to hold and manage a separate Account on behalf of the Coalition, where the annual fees shall be deposited. This account shall be identified as the “Western New York Stormwater Coalition.” Such designation shall be reviewed and re-authorized on an annual basis at the Annual Meeting of the Coalition. E. The Coalition shall not incur any financial obligations in excess of the funds on deposit in the Coalition's account. F. The Coalition may not be dissolved until all accounts payable/receivable, grants or applications, works in progress, existing claims or liabilities by or against the Coalition be fully closed, completed, and/or settled and that upon such dissolution any existing Coalition funds shall be held in escrow for one year pending final settlement of any known existing Coalition obligations, accounts, or debts by the Treasurer who shall be authorized to pay and settle all such obligations, accounts, or debts. To the extent that any Coalition funds are then remaining, the Treasurer shall distribute such funds equally (or on a pro-rata basis depending on whether annual membership fees are equal or not) to the Coalition Members having representatives on the Coalition at the time of dissolution. G. Any Coalition Member may withdraw from this Agreement upon 60 days written notice to the Chairman of the Coalition. A Coalition Member which elects to withdraw shall be liable for its full annual contribution as provided in Section 4 of this Agreement of the calendar year in which withdrawal occurs. 5.
