Fulton Amendments after Adoption ordinance (Charter § 8.8)

(a) Supplemental Appropriations. If during the fiscal year the mayor certifies that there are available for appropriation revenues in excess of those estimated in the budget, the council by ordinance may make supplemental appropriations for the year up to the amount of such excess.

(b) Reduction of Appropriations. If at any time during the fiscal year it appears probable to the mayor that the revenues available will be insufficient to meet the amount appropriated, he shall report to the council without delay, indicating the estimated amount of the deficit, any remedial action taken by him and his recommendations as to any other steps to be taken. The council shall then take such further action as it deems necessary to prevent or minimize any deficit and for that purpose it may by ordinance reduce one or more appropriations.

(c) Transfer of Appropriations. At any time during the fiscal year the mayor may transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance among programs within a department, office or agency and, upon written request by the mayor, the council may by ordinance transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance from one department, office or agency to another. (d)

Emergency Appropriations; Effective Date. The supplemental appropriations and reduction or transfer of appropriations authorized by this section may be made effective immediately upon adoption and may be made by emergency ordinance in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.10(f).
