76 - Annual appropriations.

§ 76. Annual  appropriations.  When  the  common  council  shall  have  adopted the final estimate of the board of estimate and apportionment or  said estimate as amended by it, the same shall be entered  at  large  in  its  minutes  and  become  a  part  of its proceedings. The several sums  estimated for expenditures therein shall be and become  appropriated  in  the  amounts  and  for  the several departments, offices and purposes as  therein specified for the said fiscal year.  The  several  sums  therein  enumerated  as  estimated revenues and the moneys necessary to be raised  by tax in addition  thereto  to  pay  the  expenses  of  conducting  the  business  of  the city and for the purposes contemplated by this chapter  and otherwise by law, shall be and  become  applicable  in  the  amounts  therein  named  for the purposes of meeting said appropriations. In case  the revenues received by the city exceed the amount  of  such  estimated  revenues  named  in  said  annual  estimate, or in case there remain any  unexpended balances of appropriations made for the support of  the  city  government  or for any other purpose, then such surplus revenues or such  unexpended balances shall, except as otherwise provided by  law,  remain  upon deposit and be included as a part of the estimated revenues for the  succeeding  year.    When  any  moneys  or  revenues are received by any  officer, board or department of the city, from any source other than  by  municipal  tax,  which  are  not  otherwise appropriated, such moneys or  revenues may be used and applied toward and in  addition  to  the  funds  appropriated,  as  aforesaid,  in  such manner as in the judgment of the  board of estimate and apportionment may be most beneficial to the city.
