§ 6.28. Capital improvements budget.

(a)

On or before the date fixed by the Mayor and City Council but no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, the City Manager shall submit to the Mayor and City Council a proposed capital improvements budget with his recommendations as to the means of financing the improvements proposed for the ensuing fiscal year. The Mayor and City Council shall have power to accept, with or without amendments, or reject the proposed program and proposed means of financing. The Mayor and City Council shall not authorize an expenditure for the construction of any building, structure, work, or improvement, unless the appropriations for such project are included in the capital improvements budget, except to meet a public emergency as provided in section 2.24.

(b)

The Mayor and City Council shall adopt by ordinance the final capital improvements budget for the ensuing fiscal year not later than the thirtieth day of June of each year. No appropriation provided for in a prior capital improvements budget shall lapse until the purpose for which the appropriation was made shall have been accomplished or abandoned; provided, however, the City Manager may submit amendments to the capital improvements budget at any time during the fiscal year, accompanied by his recommendations. Any such amendments to the capital improvements budget shall become effective only upon adoption by ordinance.
