§ 10.8. Budget control.

At the beginning of each quarterly period during the fiscal year, and more often if required by the City Council, the City Manager shall submit to the City Council data showing the relation between the estimated and/or actual revenue and expenditures to date; and if it shall appear that the revenues are less than anticipated, the City Council may reduce appropriations, except amounts required for debt and interest charges, to such a degree as may be necessary to avoid expenditures exceeding revenues.

(a)

The City Council may make additional appropriations by ordinance during the fiscal year for unanticipated expenditures required of the City, but such additional expenses shall not exceed the amount by which actual and anticipated revenues of the year are exceeding the revenues as anticipated in the budget, unless the appropriations are necessary to relieve an emergency endangering the public health, peace or safety.

(b)

The City Council may by resolution transfer any unencumbered appropriation balance or any portion thereof from one (1) account, department, office, fund or agency to another in accordance with recommendations of the City Manager.
