§ 7.06 COUNCIL ACTION ON BUDGET.
   The budget shall be considered at the first regular monthly meeting of the council in September and at subsequent meetings until a budget is adopted for the ensuing year. The meetings shall be so conducted as to give interested citizens a reasonable opportunity to be heard. The council may revise the proposed budget but no amendment to the budget shall increase the authorized expenditures to an amount greater than the estimated income.
   The council shall adopt the budget in accordance with Minnesota law by a resolution, which shall set forth the total for each budgeted fund and each department with such segregation as to objects and purposes of expenditures as the council deems necessary for purposes of budget control. The council shall also adopt a resolution levying the amount of taxes provided in the budget and the clerk shall certify the tax resolution to the county auditor in accordance with Minnesota law. Adoption of the budget resolution shall constitute appropriations at the beginning of the fiscal year of the sums fixed in the resolution for the several purposes named in the budget resolution and no other.
