a. Subject to the quarterly spending allotments and aggregate position and salary limits established pursuant to section one hundred six, and to other applicable provisions of this charter, of the civil service law and of other law, changes in schedules, within units of appropriation, may be made by the head of each agency. Any such changes shall be reported to the mayor and the comptroller before the effective date thereof, and shall be made available for public inspection under reasonable terms and conditions.
b. The mayor during any fiscal year may transfer part or all of any unit of appropriation to another unit of appropriation, except that when any such transfer (1) shall be from one agency to another or (2) shall result in any unit of appropriation having been increased or decreased by more than five percent or fifty thousand dollars, whichever is greater, from the budget as adopted for such unit of appropriation, the mayor shall notify the council of the proposed action. Within thirty days after the first stated meeting of the council following the receipt of such notice, the council may disapprove the proposed action; provided, however, that the mayor may recommend such a transfer if it is related to an appropriation included in the budget pursuant to section one hundred two only with the concurrence of the relevant borough president; and a borough president may make such a recommendation with regard to such an appropriation if it is concurred in by the mayor and does not include a reduction in an appropriation other than one included in the budget pursuant to section one hundred two on the recommendation of such borough president. Written notice of any transfer pursuant to this subdivision shall be given to the comptroller and shall be published in the City Record as soon as possible after such transfer.
c. The provisions of this section shall not be deemed to authorize any transfer from appropriations required by law.
d. The council may during any fiscal year transfer part or all of any unit of appropriation within the council appropriation to any other council unit of appropriation for any of its programs or projects or for any other purpose, solely by adoption of a council resolution. Each such transfer shall be published in the City Record and written notice thereof shall be given to the mayor and to the comptroller not less than ten days before the effective date thereof.
e. The procedures and required approvals pursuant to sections two hundred fifty-four, two hundred fifty-five, and two hundred fifty-six, without regard to the dates specified therein, shall be followed in the case of: (1) any proposed amendment to the budget respecting the creation of new units of appropriation, or (2) the appropriation of new revenues from any source except for revenues from federal, state or private sources in regard to the use of which the city has no discretion; provided, however, that the mayor shall give notice to the council of the receipt and proposed utilization of any such revenues, or (3) the proposed use by the city of previously unappropriated funds received from any source. Any request by the mayor respecting an amendment to the budget that involves an increase in the budget shall be accompanied by a statement of the source of current revenues or other identifiable and currently available funds required for the payment of such additional amounts.
The council shall be required to publish quarterly accountings of its actual and planned expenditures, in sufficient detail to indicate the positions and their purposes which have been funded, as well as the activities and categories of materials and supplies purchased.
All revenues of the city, of every administration, department, board, office and commission thereof, and of every borough, county and other division of government within the city, from whatsoever source except taxes on real estate, not required by law to be paid into any other fund or account shall be paid into a fund to be termed the "general fund."
Any public or private agency, authority, corporation, board or commission which receives city funds and is not otherwise subject to the requirements of section one hundred six of this chapter shall submit quarterly reports of the expenditure of such funds to the mayor in such form and detail as the mayor may prescribe.
a. Any charitable institution which receives any payment from the New York city charitable institutions budget shall pass and implement by-laws which will:
1. Require disclosure to the agency responsible for the administration of charitable institutions budget and approval by such agency of the material terms of any contract or transaction, direct or indirect, between an institution and any member of its governing board, any partnership of which he or she is a member or any corporation in which he or she holds ten per cent or more of the outstanding common stock.
2. Preclude any member of the governing board of any institution from sharing, participating or benefitting, directly or indirectly, in the proceeds from any contract or transaction entered into between the institution and any third party unless such participation or benefit has been approved in advance by the agency and the governing board of the institution has approved the transaction by a two-thirds majority excluding the vote of member to be benefitted.
3. Require each member of its governing board to submit to the agency each year a disclosure statement including such member's name, home address, principal occupation and business interests from which such member or such member's spouse or domestic partner received income equal to or greater than ten per cent of their aggregate gross income during the previous year.
b. At the discretion of the agency, any payment or any portion of any payment may be withheld from any institution which has failed to pass and implement such by-laws.
