A. Supplemental Appropriations. If during the fiscal year the Manager certifies that there are revenues in excess of those estimated in the budget, the Council by ordinance may make supplemental appropriations for the year up to the amount of such excess.

B. Emergency Appropriations. To meet an emergency affecting public property, health, peace or safety, the Council may make emergency appropriations. Such appropriations may be made by emergency ordinance in accordance with provisions of Section 4.13. To the extent that there are no available unappropriated revenues to meet such appropriation, the Council may by emergency ordinance authorize the issuance of emergency notes, which may be renewed from time to time, but the emergency notes and renewals thereof shall be paid not later than the last day of the fiscal year next succeeding that in which the emergency appropriation was made.

C. Reduction of Appropriation. If at any time during the fiscal year it appears probable to the Manager that the revenues available will be insufficient to meet the amount appropriated, he or she shall report to the Council without delay, indicating the estimated amount of deficit, any remedial action already taken, and his or her recommendation as to any other steps to be taken. The 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. Transfer of Appropriation. Any time during the fiscal year the Manager may transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance among programs within a department, office, agency or fund. The Council may by ordinance transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance from one (1) department, office, agency, fund or object to another. Such ordinance shall specify terms of repayment to the original budget section, or specify that repayment shall be waived.

E. Limitations: Effective Date. No appropriation 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 appropriation and reduction or transfer of appropriations authorized by this Section may be made effective immediately upon adoption.
