The Clty Charter speaks
.
Sectlon 7.07. ALTERATIONS IN THE BUDGET. Except as set forth ln
Sectlon 7.16, after the budget shall have been duly adopted, the
Councll shall not have power to lncrease the amounts therein
flxed, whether by the lnsertion of new ltems or otherwlse, beyond
the estlmated revenues, unless the actual recelpts shall exceed
such estlmates, and ln that event not beyond such actual recelpts.
The sums fixed ln the budget are approprlated at the beglnnlng of
the f lscal year for the several purposes named the re ln and no
other. The Councll may reduce salarles or the sums approprlated
for any other purpose, or authorlze the transfer of sums from
unexpended balances to other purposes.
The Clty dld recelve an unexpected revenue ln the amount of $3,916.00 due to
the unexpected sale of the Hopklns Bowl, due to the varlOUS non refundable
llcenses lnvolved. ThlS money can be allocated by Councll, lf desired,
for the purchase of a radar unlt. I would agree that such a unlt would be
an asset to the department, and would allow better response to resldent
complalnts of speed vlolatlons ln thelr nelghborhood.
Respectfully submltted,
