§ 808. Contingent appropriation.

The annual appropriation ordinance shall contain an appropriation amounting to not less than one or more than three percent of the estimated general fund revenues as a contingent appropriation. In case of emergency the director of any department may make written request for a transfer from the contingent appropriation, stating the facts constituting such emergency and needs in detail. Such request shall be presented to the City Manager, who shall forward it to the council if it meets with the City Manager's approval, or the City Manager may recommend to the council a transfer of a less amount than that requested by the department director. The council may transfer to departments from the contingent appropriation for such emergency needs, not to exceed the amounts recommended by the City Manager.
