§ 86. Money to be drawn from treasury in accordance with appropriations.

No money shall be drawn from the treasury of the City, nor shall any obligation for the expenditure of money be incurred, except in pursuance of the annual or interim fiscal period appropriation ordinance or such ordinance when changed as authorized by this Charter or by the general laws of Texas. At the close of each fiscal year any unencumbered balance of an appropriation shall revert to the fund from which appropriated and shall be subject to reappropriation as provided by this Charter; but appropriations may be made by the Council, to be paid out of the income of the current year, in furtherance of public improvements, capital or maintenance projects, which will not be completed within such year, and any such appropriation shall continue in force until the purpose for which it was made shall have been accomplished or abandoned.
