2025 Budget Supplementals

2024 Budget Supplementals

ARTICLE X. - FINANCE ADMINISTRATION

PART I. - BUDGET

91: Revised allotments.

If at any time during the fiscal year the City Manager shall ascertain that the cash receipts for the year, plus general fund cash surplus from the preceding year, will be less than the total appropriation, the City Manager shall reconsider the anticipated further expenditures to be made by each of the several departments, offices and agencies, and shall take such other action as may be reasonably calculated to forestall the incurring of a deficit.

(Amended 11-2-1965; 11-8-2022)

92: Transfers of appropriations.

The City Manager may at any time transfer any unencumbered appropriation balance or portion thereof from one classification of expenditure to another within the same department, office or agency. At the request of the City Manager, the Council may by resolution transfer any unencumbered appropriation balance or portion thereof from one department, office or agency, to another.

93: Additional appropriations.

Appropriations in addition to those contained in the budget shall be made only on the recommendation of the City Manager, and only if the City Treasurer certifies that there is available a cash surplus sufficient to meet such appropriations. These limitations shall not apply to meeting a public emergency caused by act of God or the public enemy or some contingency which could not have been reasonably foreseen at the time of the adoption of the budget, in which event Council may authorize the expenditure of funds in excess of such budget by ordinance or resolution duly adopted by a two-thirds vote of Council. In case of such emergency and the passage of an ordinance or resolution authorizing additional expenditures in excess of the budget and if there be funds or money available for such excess expenditures in some other fund which will not be needed for expenditures during the balance of the fiscal year, Council shall transfer such available money from such fund to the fund from which the excess expenditure is to be paid. If sufficient money which can be so transferred is not available to meet the authorized excess expenditure, then Council may make a temporary loan through the issuance of registered warrants so as to provide for such excess expenditures. The total amount of such temporary loans shall not exceed such amount as can be raised by a two mill levy on the assessed valuation of the taxable property within the City.

94: Appropriations to lapse.

Any annual appropriation or any portion thereof remaining unexpended and unencumbered at the close of the budget year shall lapse and revert to the General Fund; except for appropriations for construction or maintenance of permanent improvements from the Public Improvement Fund or other such funds designated by City Council which shall not lapse until the purpose for which the appropriation was made shall have been accomplished or abandoned as provided in Article X, Part I, Section 96 of the Englewood Home Rule Charter.

(Amended 11-6-2007)
