2. The board of library trustees shall make an estimate of the amount necessary for the maintenance of the library, the sources of direct library revenue, and the amount to be contributed from taxes or other revenues by the participating city or county and hold a hearing on the estimate after notice of the hearing is published as provided in section 331.305 or section 362.3, as appropriate. On or before January 10 of each year, the board of library trustees shall transmit the estimate in dollars to the governing bodies of the jurisdictions participating in the library district.
