(A) If during the fiscal year the City Manager certifies that there are revenues available for appropriation in excess of those estimated in the budget, the City Council by ordinance may make supplemental appropriations for the year up to the amount of the excess.
(B) To meet a public emergency, as defined by state law, the City Council may make emergency appropriations. Such appropriations may be made by emergency ordinance in accordance with the provisions of Article III, Section 3.13 of this Charter. To the extent that, there are no available unappropriated revenues to meet such appropriations, the City Council may by emergency ordinance authorize the issuance of emergency notes, which may be renewed from time to time. The emergency notes and renewal of those notes during any fiscal year shall be paid not later than the last day of the current fiscal year.
(C) If at any time during the fiscal year it appears probable to the City Manager that the revenues available will be insufficient to meet the amount appropriated, he shall report to the City Council without delay, indicating the estimated amount of the deficit, any remedial action taken, and recommendations as to any other steps to be taken. The City Council shall then take such further action as it deems necessary to prevent or minimize any deficit and for that purpose it may by ordinance reduce one (1) or more appropriations.
(D) 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, but no funds may be transferred to increase a salary appropriation without the approval of the City Council. Upon written request by the City Manager, the City Council may by ordinance transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance from one department, office, or agency to another.
(E) No appropriations 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 reduction or transfer of appropriations authorized by this Section may be made effective immediately upon adoption.
