BUDGETARY CONTROL AND AMENDMENT
               The  level  of  budgetary  control  is  the  department  level  in  all  funds.    When  budget
               adjustments among departments and/or funds are necessary, they must be approved by
               the City Council.   If budget revisions are needed, a public hearing is set and a detailed
               report  describing  the  amendments  is  presented  to  the  City  Council  for  discussion.
               Amendments are then adopted by a City Council vote.  These approved revisions then
               modify the original budget.

               The City Council can amend the total appropriations for an individual fund.  The City Council
               may also approve the transfer of appropriations within funds.  This occurs most often in the
               case  of  capital  improvement  projects,  where  savings  in  one  project  are  transferred  to
               another project.  These amendments, as well as uses of any contingency accounts also
               require Council approval.
