This chapter is the primary portion of the Ordinance Code containing the budgetary
and accounting regulations for the Consolidated Government. Except for incidental
regulations appearing elsewhere in the Ordinance Code, this chapter shall govern the
manner and method by which the budgets of the Consolidated Government are formulated,
transmitted to the Council and adopted and the accounting methods and procedures to
be used by the general government. In case of conflict between the provisions contained
in this chapter and provisions contained in any other part of the Ordinance Code or
in any other ordinance, the provisions in this chapter shall prevail unless otherwise
expressly provided. A provision of this chapter may be modified, made inapplicable
or applied in a different fashion than herein applied in a budget ordinance, by a
vote of at least two-thirds of the Council present when the ordinance is passed, but
not otherwise.
