Supplemental appropriations - Amendment of budget
Official statutory text
A. The county budget board may amend the budget to make
supplemental appropriations to any fund up to the amount of revenues
in excess of the total estimated in the latest budget, which are
available for current expenses due to:
1. Revenues received from sources not anticipated in the budget
for that year;
2. Revenues received from anticipated sources but in excess of
the budget estimates therefor; or
3. An unexpended and unencumbered fund balance on hand at the
end of the preceding fiscal year which had not been anticipated in
the budget. Any appropriation authorizing the creation of an
indebtedness shall be governed by the applicable provisions of
Article X of the Oklahoma Constitution.
B. If at any time during the budget year it appears probable
that revenues available will be insufficient to meet the amount
appropriated, or that due to unforeseen emergencies there is
temporarily insufficient money in a particular fund to meet the
requirements of appropriation in the fund, the county budget board
shall take such action as it deems necessary. For that purpose, it
may amend the budget to reduce one or more appropriations or it may
amend the budget to transfer money from one fund to another fund,
but no appropriation for debt service may be reduced and no
appropriation may be reduced by more than the amount of the
unexpended and unencumbered balance thereof. No transfer shall be
made from the debt service fund to any other fund except as may be
permitted by the terms of the bond issue or applicable law.
