As early as possible after the beginning of the fiscal year, the City Council shall pass an annual appropriation resolve, which shall be based upon the budgets submitted by the City Manager and the School Board. The total amount appropriated shall not exceed the estimated revenue of the City. Before the annual appropriation resolve has been passed, the City Council may make appropriation for current departmental expenses, chargeable to the appropriation for the year, when passed, to an amount sufficient to cover the necessary expenses of the various departments until the annual appropriation resolve is in force.
There shall be included in the annual appropriation resolve an appropriation to provide for tax abatements and uncollectable taxes in such amount as shall be recommended by the Manager and approved by the Council. All abatements and uncollectable taxes shall be charged to this account, and if at any time such account should be in excess of the total tax abatements and uncollectable taxes, then such excess shall be transferred to the unappropriated surplus account.
