Section 45-8A-23.174

Work programs; allotments.

Before the beginning of the budget year, the head of each office, department, board, or agency shall submit to the city manager, when required by him or her, a work program for the year, which program shall show the requested allotments of the appropriations for such office, department, board, or agency, by monthly periods, for the entire budget year. The city manager shall review the requested allotments in the light of the work program of the office, department, board, or agency concerned, and may revise, alter, or change such allotments before approving the same. The aggregate of such allotments shall not exceed the total appropriation available to the office, department, board, or agency for the budget year. An approved allotment may be revised during the budget year in the same manner as the original allotment was made. If, at any time during the budget year, the city manager shall ascertain that the available income, plus balances, for the year will be less than the total appropriations, he or she shall reconsider the work programs and allotments so as to forestall the making of expenditures in excess of the income.
