§ 710. Administration of budget
(a) Work programs and allotments. At such time as the Manager shall specify, each department, office, or agency shall
submit work programs for the ensuing fiscal year showing the requested allotments
of its appropriation by periods within the year. The Manager shall review and authorize
such allotments with or without revision as early as possible in the fiscal year.
The Manager may revise such allotments during the year if deemed desirable and shall
revise them to accord with any supplemental, reduced, or transferred appropriations
made pursuant to section 708 of this charter.
(b) Payments and obligations prohibited. No payment shall be made or obligation incurred against any allotment or appropriation
except in accordance with appropriations duly made. Any authorization of payment or
incurring of obligation in violation of the provisions of this charter shall be voided
and any payment so made illegal; such action shall be cause for removal of any officer
who knowingly authorized or made such payment or incurred such obligation, and the
officer shall also be liable to the City for any amount so paid. However, except where
prohibited by law, nothing in this charter shall be construed to prevent the making
or authorizing of payments or making of contracts for capital improvements to be financed
wholly or partly by the issuance of bonds or to prevent the making of any contract
or lease providing for payments beyond the end of the fiscal year, provided that such
action is made or approved by resolution. (Added 2013, No. M-9, § 3, eff. June 4, 2013; amended 2015, No. M-19 (Adj. Sess.), § 2, eff. May 17, 2016.)
