After public hearing and such revision as it may deem desirable, the
Council will approve and adopt the budget in accordance with the Local Budget
Law, N.J.S.A. 40A:4-1 et seq.
Budget appropriations shall be controlled by an encumbrance system which
shall be prescribed or approved by the Manager. In consultation with the Council,
the Manager shall establish quarterly or such other periodic allotments of
appropriations as he may deem desirable. Each department shall plan and administer
its work program within the limits of such allotments, provided that the same
shall be in accordance with the law and no commitments shall be incurred in
excess of any such allotment except upon specific written authorization of
the Manager.
