§ 10.6. Administration: of the budget.

Each officer, department, board, or agency of the city shall limit its expenditures for the various purposes set forth in the budget to the sums provided therein for such purposes.

It shall be the duty of each such officer or department, board, or agency head to see that amounts appropriated in the budget for the various purposes therein set forth shall in no event be exceeded unless by specific authority of the Council in the form of a resolution. It shall be the duty of the Clerk to report to the City Manager, at least once a month, any violations of the foregoing provisions. All books, warrants, orders, and vouchers, or other official reference to any appropriation shall indicate the appropriated fund involved or to be drawn upon by code number or other designation set forth in the budget. The Council may transfer any part of an unencumbered balance of an appropriation to a purpose or object for which the appropriation for the current year has proved insufficient, or may authorize a transfer to be made between items appropriated to the same office or department, or between activities.
