Sections
18-06-6-b rn
18-06-6-b cr
Analysis
Currently, a procedural resolution clarifying the intent of the common council relative to contingent fund appropriations is adopted in conjunction with the adoption of the annual budget. This charter ordinance places the language of the procedural resolution in the city charter thereby eliminating the necessity for an annual resolution.
Body
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
Part 1. Section 18-06-6-b of the charter is renumbered 18-06-6-c.
Part 2. Section 18-06-6-b of the charter is created to read:
18-06. Expenditures.
6. BY COUNCIL RESOLUTION.
b. Funds may be appropriated from the contingent fund for obligations incurred during a budget year no later than the closing of the city’s financial accounts for that year.
Part 2. This is a charter ordinance and shall take effect 60 days after its passage and publication, unless within 60 days a referendum petition is filed as provided in s. 66.0101(5), Wis. Stats., in which event this ordinance shall not take effect until submitted to a referendum and approved by a majority of the electors voting thereon.
