Amendment of budget - Supplemental appropriations
Official statutory text
A. The board may amend the budget to make supplemental
appropriations to any fund up to the amount of additional revenues
which are available for current expenses as shown by a fund balance
for the fund 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. Unexpended unencumbered cash balances on hand at the end of
the preceding fiscal year which had not been anticipated in the
budget. Any appropriation authorizing the creating of an
indebtedness shall be governed by the applicable provisions of
Article X of the Constitution of the State of Oklahoma.
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 for the fund, the board shall take
action as it deems necessary. For that purpose, it may amend the
budget to reduce one or more appropriations, but no appropriation
for debt service may be reduced and no appropriation may be reduced
by more than the amount of the unencumbered and unexpended 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.
C. A budget amendment as provided in this section authorizing
supplemental appropriations or a decrease or change in appropriation
or funds shall be adopted at a meeting of the board and filed with
the district, the county clerk of each county in which the district
is located and the State Auditor and Inspector.
