Capital projects funds.
Riverside City Charter, art. XI, § 1111
in effectSec. 1111. - Capital projects funds.
(a) Funds for capital projects are hereby created. Capital projects initiated by the City Council which only require approval by the City Council are provided for in subsection (b). Capital projects initiated by the City Council which also require approval by the voters are provided for in subsection (c).
(b) A City Council approved capital project fund shall remain for the established purpose and the appropriations therein shall carry over to the completion of each project, as set forth in Section 1104. When a capital project has been completed, the City Council may transfer any unexpended or unencumbered budget to any account similarly restricted.
To the extent permitted by law, the City Council may levy and collect taxes for capital projects and may include in the annual tax levy a levy for such purposes in which event it must apportion and appropriate to any such account or accounts the moneys derived from such levy. It may not, in making such levy, exceed the maximum tax rate provided for in this Charter, unless authorized by the affirmative votes of two-thirds of the electors voting on the proposition at any election at which such question is submitted.
(c) An account for a voter approved capital project shall remain inviolate for the purpose for which it was created unless the use of such funds for other capital project purposes was authorized by the electors voting on such proposition at the general or special election at which such proposition was submitted. The majority or super-majority for passage of a voter approved capital project will depend on the enabling legislation under which it is proposed. Notwithstanding the above, the proposition approving a capital project may be amended as provided in the proposition or the enabling legislation.
