Prior to July 1, the Agency legally adopts its annual budget for all funds through passage of a resolution. The resolution authorizes fund appropriations as current annual departmental requirements, debt service, capital outlay, interfund transfers, interfund loans, intergovernmental, and miscellaneous fiscal transactions. Expenditures cannot legally exceed appropriations at these control levels. Appropriations which have not been spent at year-end lapse, although an amending resolution passed in the subsequent year specifically provides for the reappropriation of prior-year lapsed encumbrances. Unexpected additional resources, or appropriations may be added to the budget through the use of a supplemental budget. A supplemental budget requires hearings before the public, publications in newspapers, and approval by the Agency. Original and supplemental budgets may be modified by the use of appropriation transfers between the levels of control. Such transfers require approval by passing an Agency resolution authorizing the transfer. All budget amendments are subject to the limitations put forth in the Oregon Revised Statutes Chapters 294.305 through 294.565 (Oregon Budget Law). The net effect of amending resolutions passed during the fiscal year was an appropriation increase of $437,314. continued
