§ 14.03. Transfer of appropriations.

The mayor may transfer any amount appropriated to any consolidated government division within such division but may not:

(a)

Transfer funds that are appropriated to any consolidated government division, department, agency, or nondepartmental account to any other division, department, agency, or nondepartmental account unless the council has adopted a general ordinance, approved by at least 13 members of the council, that authorizes the mayor to make such transfers. Repeal or modification of such ordinance shall require the concurrence of at least 13 members of the council. The ordinance must specify:

(1)

The type and manner of mayoral transfers that are permitted.

(2)

Whether the council must be given prior notice of a proposed transfer.

(3)

Whether the council must be given an opportunity to override a proposed transfer within a specified timeframe and by a specified vote.

To the extent the provisions of the general ordinance are consistent with these standards, they shall be deemed to be a grant of additional powers to the executive branch not in violation of section 4.01 of this charter; or

(b)

Transfer funds appropriated to any services district to any other services district.
