Clerk with objections on or before the 25th day of June, it shall
be deemed to have been approved.
|
If a budget has not been adopted,
as herein provided, on or before the 30th day of June each year, then
the budget as submitted by the Mayor, including all additions to which
the Mayor has failed to object, shall be the budget for the ensuing
fiscal year.
