(1) must be prepared and submitted:
(A) at the same time;
(B) in the same manner; and
(C) with notice;
as is required by statute for the preparation of budgets by municipalities; and
(2) if the district imposes a levy, is subject to the same review by the department of local government finance as is required by statute for the budgets of municipalities.
