The board of supervisors of the withdrawing county, or the governing authorities of the withdrawing municipality, shall provide the sum that is required by this section either by appropriation from any available funds of the county or by levy. Such board of supervisors or municipal governing authorities may borrow funds as needed to satisfy the withdrawing county's or municipality's portion of the liabilities, obligations and indebtedness of the district as required herein. No withdrawal shall become effective until the close of the fiscal year in which the county has satisfied its obligations under this section.
