Each member jurisdiction shall maintain an independent budget system to account for funds allocated and expended by its participating VCDU members. The Board must approve any joint capital expenditure for VCDU equipment. XII. DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS UPON TERMINATION Termination shall be in accordance with those procedures set forth in prior sections. Each participating jurisdiction shall retain sole ownership of equipment purchased and provided to its participating VCDU members. Any assets acquired with joint funds of the VCDU shall be equally divided among the participating jurisdictions at the asset's fair market value upon termination. The value of the assets of the VCDU shall be determined by using commonly accepted methods of valuation. If two (2) or more participating jurisdictions desire an asset, the final decision shall be made by arbitration (described below). Any property not claimed shall be declared surplus by the Board and disposed of pursuant to state law for the disposition of surplus property. The proceeds from the sale or disposition of any VCDU property, after payment of any and all costs of sale or debts of the agency, shall be equally distributed to those jurisdictions participating in the VCDU at the time of dissolution in proportion to the jurisdiction's percentage participation in the VCDU as of the date of dissolution. In the event that one (1) or more jurisdictions terminate their participation in the VCDU, but the VCDU continues to exist, the jurisdiction terminating participation shall be deemed to have waived any right or title to any property owned by the VCDU or to share in the proceeds at the time of dissolution.
