Yes, there are various complicated formulas and area-rating that claims to ensure that some citizens in a municipality don't pay for services in another part of the municipality, but in the end everyone in the municipality expects a certain level of service (or not).
Except in the case of ION it was specifically funded by levies *only* applied to the three cities and not to the townships, so in this case it was not a case of your "cash spent in one place can't be spent elsewhere" hypothesis.
