A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 4311
IN REGARD TO BUDGET CONTROL
WHEREAS, the purpose of this resolution is to insure re-
sponsible fiscal control of unbudgeted items presented to the
City Council in the form of ordinances, resolutions, minute
actions, appropriations, orders for the payment of money, and
any means whatever by which the Council is able to act , and
where such action shall or may have an impact upon the budget .
The basic assumption underlying this resolution is that in-
formed and intelligent action must be preceded by and based
upon fiscal data and information, and upon an understanding
and appreciation of the impact of such action upon the budget .
It is recognized that an integrated and orderly budgetary
process requires a budget in balance and that any action of
the City Council that shall or may disturb or affect such
balance must be preceded by thorough study and analysis . Where
unbudgeted expenditures are authorized by the City Council, it
is and shall be the policy of the city that adequate provision
li must first be made for the funding of such proposals through
the budgetary process to the end that the budget be and remain
in balance. It is a policy of the City of Huntington Beach
that the Council shall not create a deficit in the city' s bud-
get by any action of the Council. This statement constitutes
the official policy of the City of Huntington Beach.
