in effect

Sec. 151-64. - Fiscal ordinances. (a) No proposal for a fiscal ordinance shall be initiated unless approved by the controller or unless the controller has been notified by the clerk of its receipt at least seven (7) days before introduction. Any proposal for a fiscal ordinance appropriating or transferring funds shall not be approved for introduction if any of the financial data or reports required by this Code are delinquent as to a fund which is the subject of such proposal. (b) No proposal for a fiscal ordinance of the city or county shall be initiated unless the proposal includes (with respect to each fund from which as additional appropriation is proposed) the previous year's closing fund balance and a projection of the current year's ending fund balance if the proposal were to be adopted; however, this subsection shall not apply to a proposal for a fiscal ordinance funded by a grant that requires no matching funds. (c) Any proposal for a fiscal ordinance (except the annual budgets) which appropriates the proceeds of any state, federal or private grant shall include substantially the following language: Except to the extent of matching funds, if any, approved in this ordinance, the council does not intend to use the revenues from any local tax regardless of source to supplement or extend the appropriation for the agencies or projects authorized by this ordinance. The supervisor of the agency or project, or both, and the controller are directed to notify in writing the city-county council immediately upon receipt of any information that the agency or project is, or may be, reduced or eliminated. (d) The digest of any proposal for a fiscal ordinance shall identify the fund appropriated including a statement of the revenue source for the appropriation. (e) When a request for an additional appropriation from unappropriated funds is submitted to the council by any city-county agency (including a court), the chief financial officer of the city-county council or his/her designee shall review the policies and expenditures of the requesting agency and may submit a report to the appropriate council committee containing a recommendation with regard to the additional appropriation.
