(b) Emergency Appropriations. To meet a public emergency affecting life, health, property or the public peace, the council may make emergency appropriations. Such appropriations may be made by emergency ordinance in accordance with provisions of section 5.11. To the extent that there are no available unappropriated revenues to meet such appropriations, the council may by emergency ordinance authorize the issuance of emergency notes as provided in article XI of this charter.

(c) Reduction Of Appropriations. If, at any time during the fiscal year, it appears probable to the manager that the revenues available will be insufficient to meet the amount appropriated, he shall report to the council without delay, indicating the estimated amount of deficit, any remedial action taken by him and his recommendation as to any other steps to be taken. The council shall then take such further action as it deems necessary to prevent or minimize any deficit and for that purpose it may by resolution reduce one or more appropriations.

(d) Transfer Of Appropriations. Any time during the fiscal year, the manager may transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance among programs within a department, office or agency and, upon written request of the manager, the council may by resolution transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance from one department, office, agency or object to another.

(e) Limitation – Effective Date. No appropriation for debt service may be reduced or transferred. No appropriation may be reduced below any amount required by law to be appropriated or by more than the amount of the unencumbered balance thereof. The supplemental appropriations, emergency appropriations and reduction or transfer of appropriations authorized by this section may be made effective immediately upon adoption.
