Overview
Outlines how a municipality can amend its adopted budget to spend additional revenues not originally included in the adopted budget.
History
After a public hearing on expenditures and a tax levy is concluded, the municipal or county governing body must convene in a special meeting and determine and adopt estimates of proposed expenditures for the purposes set forth in the published proposal. The adopted estimates constitute the budget for the current fiscal year for that county or municipality. The total amounts that are proposed to be spent cannot exceed the total amounts that were proposed for expenditure in the published estimates (A.R.S. § 42-17105).
Provisions
1. Allows a municipality to amend its adopted budget during the fiscal year to spend additional revenues that were not included in the adopted budget by following the local government budgeting process and conditional on:
a. budget amendments are not required to be adopted by the third Monday in July of each year;
b. a new or increased tax or fee cannot be adopted in the budget amendment;
c. the amended estimates adopted by a budget amendment constitute the municipality's amended budget for the current fiscal year; and
d. the total amounts that are proposed to be spent in the amended municipal budget cannot exceed the amounts that were proposed for the expenditure in the published amended estimates. (Sec. 1)
2. Requires a proposed budget amendment to be placed on a regular meeting agenda for consideration and discussion before a vote at the next regular meeting. (Sec. 1)
3. Prohibits the proposed budget amendments from being a consent agenda item. (Sec. 1)
