§ 106.303. Format and determination of amounts appropriated.  


Latest version.
  • Each appropriations ordinance, except for the annual budget ordinance and bond ordinances or resolutions, shall include (i) in the title the word "Appropriate" or some variation thereof along with a numerical dollar amount in close proximity thereto (ii) in the body of the appropriation ordinance a textual description of the "from" and "to" accounts which identifies the full name of the account and the Department, Division, agency, or fund from which and to which funds are appropriated, and (iii) an attached "Appropriation of Funds" Exhibit in the form approved by Ordinance 2015-428-E. Such form shall not replace the Budget Transfer ("BT") form evidencing Mayoral approval as required by Section 106.301. The Index Code and Sub-object Revenue/Expenditure Number will take precedence over the Account Title, Subfund Number and Project Number. In the event that any appropriation ordinance should be enacted contrary to the foregoing, the Director of Finance and Administration is authorized to conform any such appropriation to the proper format including Account Title, Subfund Number, Index Code, Project Number and Sub-object Revenue/Expenditure Number, and dollar amount; provided, however, that such conformance shall be technical in nature and comply with the provisions provided herein. In determining the amounts appropriated by an appropriation ordinance, the separate amounts stated in each paragraph or on each line shall be considered correct, regardless of the correctness of the totals or footings in the ordinance.
