 year the auditors of the counties within the area shall meet at 
 the call of the auditor of Hennepin County and elect from among 
 their number one auditor to serve as administrative auditor for

 administrative auditor, the commissioner of finance shall 
 appoint one from among the auditors of the counties in the 
 area.  If the administrative auditor ceases to serve as a county 
 auditor within the area during the term for which elected or 
 appointed, a successor shall be chosen in the same manner as is

 administrative auditor shall utilize the staff and facilities of 
 the auditor's office of the county served to perform the 
 functions imposed by sections 473F.01 to 473F.13.  The 
 administrative auditor's county shall be reimbursed for the 
 marginal expenses incurred by its county auditor and auditor's 
 staff hereunder by contributions from each other county in the 
 area in an amount which bears the same proportion to the total 
 expenses as the population of the other county bears to the 
 total population of the area.  The administrative auditor shall 
 annually, on or before February 1, certify the amounts of total 
 expense for the preceding calendar year, and the share of each 
 county, to the treasurer of each other county.  Payment shall be 
 made by the treasurer of each other county to the treasurer of 
 the county incurring expense on or before the succeeding March 1.
