§ 12-12. Appropriations to non-departmental accounts.

(a)

Each budget item in a non-departmental budget shall have the following information associated with such line item at the times prescribed by this subsection:

(1)

The planned uses of the funds appropriated;

(2)

The timeline for completion of the purpose of the appropriation; and

(3)

The agency, organization or program manager responsible for ensuring that the purpose of the appropriation is completed.

For each appropriation line item in a non-departmental budget included with the annual budget or any budget amendment ordinance submitted by the Mayor, the information required to be associated with such appropriation line item by this subsection shall be included in the annual budget or such budget amendment ordinance at the time of submission by the Mayor in accordance with Section 12-10. For each appropriation line item in a non-departmental budget that is added or modified by the City Council, the final adopted budget or budget amendment ordinance shall include the information required to be associated with such appropriation line item by this subsection at the time of adoption in accordance with Section 6.11 of the Charter.

(b)

When an annual appropriation or budget ordinance or any amendment thereto appropriates monies to a non-departmental budget, such appropriations shall be deemed to be appropriated specifically for each particular program listed in such non-departmental budget. All monies appropriated to each non-departmental budget program shall be disbursed within 45 days after the City's receipt of an invoice from the organizations and agencies entitled to receive monies from such appropriations. No expenditures shall be made from monies appropriated in accordance with the non-departmental budget other than for the specific organizations and programs set forth in the ordinance or ordinances making appropriations to such non-departmental budget. No appropriation balance or part thereof shall be transferred from one program within the non-departmental budget to the appropriation for any other program within or without the non-departmental budget except by an amendment recommended by the Mayor and adopted by the Council. Each expenditure or transfer in violation of this section and each failure to disburse monies as required by this subsection shall be unlawful and shall be punished as a Class 3 misdemeanor.
