year, subject to the authority of the City Council to amend or change the budget as provided by
Section 2.519 of the Clearwater Code of Ordinances.
Section 3. The City Manager is authorized and directed to issue such instructions and
directives that are necessary to achieve and accomplish the service programs authorized by the
adoption of this budget.
Ordinance No. 8100-09
Section 4. The City Manager is authorized for reasons of economy or efficiency to transfer
part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance among programs within an operating fund,
provided such action does not result in the discontinuance of a program.
Section 5. It is the intent of the City Council that this budget, including amendments
thereto, is adopted to permit the legal appropriation and encumbering of funds for the purposes
set forth in the budget. All appropriated and encumbered but unexpended funds at the end of the
fiscal year may be expended during the subsequent fiscal year for the purposes for which they
were appropriated and encumbered, and such expenditures shall be deemed to have been spent
out of the current budget allocation. It shall not be necessary to reappropriate additional funds in
the budget for the subsequent fiscal year to cover valid open encumbrances outstanding as of the
end of the current fiscal year.
Section 6. Because of the dramatic reduction in general fund revenues for fiscal year
2009- 2010, the City Council has determined not to budget or appropriate funds for the operation
of the Graphics Division of Public Communications department and related equipment, and such
function shall no longer be performed in-house; further, Staff is not authorized to expend any
further funds thereon.
Section 7. Should any provision of this ordinance be declared by any court to be invalid,
the same shall not affect the validity of the ordinance as a whole, or any provision thereof, other
than the provision declared to be invalid.
Section 8. This ordinance shall take effect October 1, 2009.
