Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 6, June 1, 2024
Section 150-294-0540 - Transfers of Appropriations
(1) A transfer of appropriation is a decrease of one existing appropriation and a corresponding increase of another existing appropriation category.
(2) During the fiscal year or budget period the governing body of a municipal corporation may transfer from one existing appropriation category within a fund to another existing appropriation category in the same fund when a resolution or ordinance is adopted that authorizes this transfer. The resolution or ordinance must state the purpose of the transfer, and the amount of the transfer. The appropriation reductions must equal the appropriation increases. The net effect of this change on the total appropriation in the fund must be zero.
(3) Transfer of appropriations and a like amount of budget resources may be made between funds by governing body resolution or ordinance. Transfer of appropriation and a like amount of resources to another fund is accomplished by increasing or creating, a "transfer to other funds" appropriation category in the fund from which the transfer is made. The amount of this increased or created appropriation must be offset by reductions in one or more other appropriation categories in the fund from which the transfer is made. The net effect of this change on the total appropriation in the fund from which the transfer is made must be zero. Appropriation categories in the receiving fund are increased by the amount of the transfer, and the budget resources available to that fund are increased by the amount of resources transferred from the fund from which the transfer is made.
(4) Transfers referred to in this rule apply to transfers that occur after the budget has been approved and that are made during the fiscal year or budget period for which the appropriations are made. Nothing in this rule prohibits or regulates lawful transfers that have been budgeted in accordance with local budget law.
