§ 35.27 EXPENDITURES PRIOR TO ADOPTION OF BUDGET.
   (A)   On and after the first day of its fiscal year in 1993 and of each succeeding year or on or after the first day of its biennial period and until the adoption of the budget by the Board of Trustees in September, the Board of Trustees may expend any balance of cash on hand for the current expenses of the village. Except as provided in division (B) of this section, the expenditures shall not exceed an amount equivalent to the total amount expended under the last budget in the equivalent period of the prior budget year or biennial period. The expenditures shall be charged against the appropriations for each individual fund or purpose as provided in the budget when adopted.
(Neb. RS 13-509.01)
   (B)   The restriction on expenditures in division (A) of this section may be exceeded upon the express finding of the Board of Trustees that expenditures beyond the amount authorized are necessary to enable the village to meet its statutory duties and responsibilities. The finding and approval of the expenditures in excess of the statutory authorization shall be adopted by the Board of Trustees in open public session. Expenditures authorized by this section shall be charged against appropriations for each individual fund or purpose as provided in the budget when adopted, and nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize expenditures by the village in excess of that authorized by any other statutory provision.
