A. Consistent with limitations imposed by law, appropriations may be increased or decreased by the Assembly during the course of the fiscal year.

B. Every supplemental and emergency appropriation introduced by the Mayor, or an Assemblymember, shall be supported by the original budgeted appropriation for the administrative department, fund, capital project or service area, the expenses to date, the purpose and justification for the appropriation, any additional revenues estimated to be generated, the number of new employees to be hired, the proposed funding sources, the impact on the fund balance and the estimated mill levy and impact on the current and next year’s annual budget, when applicable.

C. In the event of a net shortfall of estimated undesignated revenue, the Mayor or Board of Education shall immediately report this fact to the Assembly with a recommended decrease in appropriation, employees or other revenues.

D. In the event of a shortfall of estimated grant revenue or other designated program receipts appropriated for a specific purpose, the appropriation enacted for that purpose is reduced by the amount of the shortfall on the date the shortfall becomes known to the Assembly. The Mayor or Board of Education shall report such a shortfall to the Assembly immediately upon learning thereof. Should the Assembly wish to continue the project or program at its original amount, a supplemental or emergency appropriation must first be enacted providing funds from another source.
