(A) If the City Manager certifies during the fiscal year that there are available revenues in excess of those estimated in the budget, the Commission by resolution may make supplemental appropriations up to the amount of such excess revenues.
(B) If it appears probable to the City Manager during the fiscal year that the revenues available will be insufficient to meet the amount appropriated, the City Manager shall report to the Commission without delay, indicating the estimated amount of the deficit, any remedial action taken and recommendations as to any other steps to be taken. The Commission shall then take such further action as it deems necessary to prevent any deficit, and for that purpose it may reduce by resolution one or more appropriations.
(C) At any time during the fiscal year, the City Manager may transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance among programs within a department office, or agency. Upon written request by the City Manager, the Commission may transfer by resolution part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance from one department, office, or agency to another.
(D) No appropriation for debt service may be reduced or transferred, and no appropriation may be reduced below any amount required by law to be appropriated or by more than the amount of the unencumbered balance thereof. The supplemental and emergency appropriations and the reduction or transfer of appropriations authorized by this section may be made effective immediately upon adoption.
