§ 2-556. Impoundment of appropriations to prevent deficit operation; county executive's power.
Latest version.
If at any time the county executive determines that the revenues or other resources
are, with respect to any fund, less than was anticipated in the adopted budget, tax
rate resolution, or appropriations resolution, or in the event unanticipated expenditures
arise as required by law which will likely create a budget or revenue deficit, the
county executive, upon notice sent to each member of the commission, is empowered
to impound or restrict such appropriations as may be necessary to prevent deficit
operations. Such impoundment power may be overridden by a two-thirds vote of the commission
so long as such legislative body makes such amendments to the budget or additional
appropriations from available unencumbered funds as may be necessary to prevent deficit
operations at the same meeting. Such necessary amendments or additional appropriations
require a majority vote of the commission.
