The City Administrator shall enforce strictly the provisions of the budget resolution. He shall not authorize any payment or the incurring of any obligation by the City unless an appropriation has been made for the same and there is a sufficient unexpended balance left after deducting the total past expenditures and encumbrances against the appropriation. No officer or employee of the City shall place any order or make any purchase for a purpose not authorized in the budget resolution. Any obligation incurred by any person for any purpose not authorized in the budget resolution or for any amount exceeding an appropriation shall be a personal obligation upon the person incurring the obligation. No check shall be issued or transfer made to any account other than one owned by the City until the claim
to which it relates has been supported by an itemized bill, payroll, or time-sheet or other document approved and signed by the responsible City officer who vouches for its correctness and reasonableness.
