§ 2-222. Line item transfers.

(a)

It is recognized that it is impossible to predict in advance with one hundred (100) percent accuracy, every line item expenditure of any department of County government, although a total expenditure can be accurately predicted; that because of unanticipated expenditures, or the lack of anticipated expenditures, it frequently becomes necessary to transfer moneys from certain line item appropriations to others within the same department.

(b)

Such line item transfers, except changes in salaries and number of employees that are not authorized by the Quorum Court, within a particular department and at the request of the head of such department, should be and hereby are authorized, and the County Comptroller is authorized to effectuate the same; provided that in no event shall the total appropriation of that department be changed or altered without prior approval of the Quorum Court. Quorum Court members shall be notified in writing of such changes.
