(a) The Park Commission is hereby authorized and empowered to expend the cumulative total of two thousand dollars ($2,000) from the Park Fund, exclusive of mowing expenses, labor, material and supply and vehicle maintenance, during each calendar month without being required to obtain prior approval from Council for such expenditures. The Commission shall authorize expenditures by resolutions duly entered upon its minutes, and a requisition signed by both the Chairman and Secretary of the Commission presented for payment of such indebtedness to the Fiscal Officer for payment in the same manner as other lawful obligations of the Village. The Commission shall be required to submit in writing a requisition signed by the Chairman and Secretary of the Commission to Council for prior approval before incurring obligations against the Park Fund in excess of the cumulative total of one thousand dollars ($1,000) during any single calendar month. Upon obtaining such prior approval from Council, the Commission shall proceed as provided by this section.
(b) In addition, expenses not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500.00) per month may be authorized by the Park Liaison to the Park Commission, with prior Council approval, if the Park Liaison has first confirmed with the Fiscal Officer that the appropriations in the Park account are unencumbered and available for use. Such expenses cannot be used for capital improvements but only for emergency situations. (Ord. 99-18. Passed 12-22-99.)
