Amendments to existing contracts need not be competitively bid. Council shall have the power to establish, by ordinance, procedures for execution of amendments to contracts which have already been duly authorized by Council and executed.
For all contracts involving the expenditure of municipal funds, the Clerk shall certify in the accounting records of the Municipality that the amount required to meet the obligation, or in the case of a continuing contract to be performed in whole or part in an ensuing fiscal year, the amount required to meet the obligation in the fiscal year in which the contract is made, has been lawfully appropriated for such purpose and is in the treasury or in the process of collection to the credit of an appropriate fund free from any prior encumbrances. The Clerk shall furnish a copy of such certification to all other parties to the contract, upon request. If no such certification has been made, the contract shall be void and unenforceable against the Municipality.
