The City Administrator shall perform the duties of Budget Officer
as outlined in Section 67.020, RSMo.
The Board of Aldermen may revise,
alter, increase or decrease the items contained in the proposed budget,
subject to such limitations as may be provided by law, provided that
in no event shall the total authorized expenditures from any fund
exceed the estimated revenues to be received plus any unencumbered
balance or less any deficit estimated for the beginning of the budget
year. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Board of Aldermen shall,
before the beginning of the fiscal year, approve the budget and approve
or adopt such orders, motions, resolutions or ordinances as may be
required to authorize the budgeted expenditures and produce the revenues
estimated in the budget.
After the City has approved the budget
for any year and has approved or adopted the orders, motions, resolutions
or ordinances required to authorize the expenditures proposed in the
budget, the City shall not increase the total amount authorized for
expenditure from any fund, unless the Board of Aldermen adopts a resolution
setting forth the facts and reasons making the increase necessary
and approves or adopts an order, motion, resolution or ordinance to
authorize the expenditures.
