Prior to the first day of the fiscal year, the Manager shall prepare and submit to Council, an Appropriation Ordinance containing a financial plan for conducting the affairs of the City during the ensuing fiscal or calendar year.
Council may provide for a public hearing upon such ordinance at any time.
Council may pass a temporary Appropriation Ordinance for meeting ordinary expenses of the City but must charge all appropriations therein to the annual Appropriation Ordinance which will be approved not later than April 1 of the fiscal year concerned.
Council may pass such supplemental appropriation ordinances as it deems necessary, adjusting appropriations between the various funds. This is subject to the limitation that the total appropriation for any fiscal year cannot exceed total balances carried forward from previous years plus estimated revenue for the current fiscal year.
