Subject to the limitations imposed by this chapter, the payments of claims and judgments, approved for payment, where the City or a public employee is or may be liable, shall be limited to available, unencumbered funds that have been specifically appropriated on an annual basis for payment of claims and judgments. Partial payments of claims or judgments may be made over successive years from funds subsequently appropriated. Priority of payment of carried over claims shall be given based on the date of the occurrence giving rise to liability. Priority of payments of carry-over judgments shall be given to the filing date of the judgment.
