(a)

The annual budget ordinance of the general government and of the independent agencies shall be limited to recognizing the City's authorized and approved revenues, expenses, contingencies and reserves, and shall not include reorganizations, codifications, or the establishment of new fees, all of which shall be established by separate ordinance. The annual budget proposals of the general government and of the independent agencies shall be composed of two parts, an operating budget and a capital improvement budget. The operating budget part of the general government shall contain an appropriation to the mobile equipment account of the Fleet Management Division and the mobile equipment accounts of the various activities in the Enterprise Funds in a combined amount at least equal to the depreciation and proceeds from surplus sales of mobile equipment of the current fiscal year. The appropriation shall be calculated as an annualized projection based on the current fiscal year's first six months of depreciation and surplus sales of equipment adjusted as necessary. The annual budget proposals shall in all other ways be set forth in such form and detail as the Mayor or each independent agency may determine. The budget shall not be considered a balanced budget if it contains either a two percent overall lapse, or a four percent per department lapse, including Constitutional Officers.

(b)

Expenditures of Public Funds. All funds shall be expended for a public purpose. Any request for funds in the budget to be expended on food and beverages shall be identified by the public purpose for the expenditure and the persons who will be served. No public funds shall be expended on food or beverage unless specifically authorized by legislation or ordinance as codified in the Jacksonville Municipal Code.
