Upon request of the Mayor, the Council may transfer any part of an unencumbered balance of an appropriation to a purpose or object for which the appropriation for the current year has proved insufficient, or may authorize a transfer of money to be made between items appropriated to the same office or department.
By the votes of three-fourths of all the members elected thereto, the Council may at any time transfer all or a portion of one fund, or a balance remaining therein, to the credit of one or more funds, whether such funds were raised by taxation or otherwise; provided, however, that transfers from funds raised by a special levy, bond issued or loan, may be made for temporary purposes only, and, when such temporary purposes have been accomplished, the amount of such temporary transfer shall be returned to the original fund from which the transfer was made.
