§ 5.16. Emergency appropriations.

Latest version.

At any time in any budget year, the council may make emergency appropriations to meet a pressing need for public expenditure, for other than a regular or recurring requirement, to protect the public health, safety or welfare. Such appropriations shall be by resolution adopted by the favorable votes of two-thirds of all members of the council. The total amount of all emergency appropriations made in any budget year shall not exceed three per centum of the total operating appropriations made in the budget for that year. (Acts 1971, Ex. Sess., ch. 166, Sec.1; Acts 1981, ch. 512, Sec. 1)
