adopted a final Annual Budget to meet the needs and requirements of the Village and its residents for
the upcoming fiscal year.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF THE VILLAGE OF
NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA as follows:
Section 1. The proposed Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2006/2007 attached hereto as Exhibit "A"
and incorporated herein by this reference and as adjusted by Council action at its public hearings held
on September 12, 2006 and September 26, 2006 is hereby adopted and established as the Village of
North Palm Beach's Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2006/2007.
Section 2. The amounts allocated in the Annual Budget for expenditure effective October 1, 2006
are authorized in accordance with the purposes as set forth in the Annual Budget, except that no funds
shall be deemed authorized for expenditure in those instances where specific and additional Village
Council action and authorization is required as provided in the Village of North Palm Beach Charter or
otherwise provided by law. The Annual Budget shall appropriate an expenditure of funds for
scheduled repayments of debt financing as required by Village loan agreements.
Section 3. The Annual Budget establishes, except as otherwise provided in Section 5 below,
limitations on expenditures by department total within fund, and the total sum allocated to each
department for operating expenses may not be increased or decreased without specific authorization by
a duly enacted Resolution or Ordinance effecting such amendment or transfer. However, specific
activity amounts may be exceeded so long as excesses exist in other activities within said department
budget. Appropriations shall not be transferred in amounts over $5,000 without the approval of the
Village Council. Appropriations of $5,000 or less shall not be transferred without the approval of the
Village Manager; however, nothing set forth herein is intended to permit the Village Manager to
violate the intent of the approved Annual Budget.
Section 4. Amounts allocated to Capital Outlay items are specific authorizations and may be
expended only for capital project and capital purchase purposes. The amount allocated for Capital
Outlay may not be exceeded or increased without the Village Council enacting a Resolution or
Ordinance effectuating such amendment or transfer.
Section 5. In the event that an authorized position is vacant and monies are available within a
department's salary appropriation to fund a temporary appointment to the vacant position, the Village
Manager may appoint a temporary employee to fill said vacant position for a period not to exceed 90
days. Said temporary appointment may be renewable for an additional 90-day period and may only be
made for the period pending the filling of the authorized position by a permanent employee. The pay
for a temporary employee shall be within the pay scale of an approved Village Pay Plan position.
Section 6. When the Village of North Palm Beach receives monies from any source, be it private
or governmental, by grant, gift, or otherwise, to which there is attached as a condition of acceptance,
any limitation regarding the use or expenditure of the monies received, the funds so received need not
be shown in the Annual Budget nor shall said budget be subject to amendment or expenditure as a
result of the receipt of said monies, but said monies shall only be disbursed and applied toward the
purposes for which the said funds were received. To ensure the integrity of the Operating Budget, and
the integrity of the monies received by the Village under grants or gifts, all monies received as
contemplated above must, upon receipt, be segregated and accounted for based upon accepted
contemporary Florida Municipal Accounting Principles and where appropriate, placed into separate
and individual Governmental Fund accounts from which any money drawn may only be disbursed and
applied within the limitations placed upon the gift or grant.
Section 7. The omnibus appropriation and expenditure authorization as contained in Section 3
above may be temporarily or permanently suspended by Resolution of the Village Council if at any
time it appears that the projected revenue supporting the above-described budget is below anticipated
levels or may be temporarily or permanently suspended by Resolution of the Village Council for any
other reason or purpose deemed proper by the Village.
Section 8. If the Village Manager determines that a Department Total or a Capital Outlay within
the Annual Budget will exceed its original appropriation, the Village Manager is hereby authorized and
directed to prepare such Resolutions as may be necessary and proper to administratively and publicly
adjust or modify any adjustments to the Annual Budget hereby adopted so long as such adjustment or
modification shall not result in a variation of the total budget appropriation adopted pursuant to this
Ordinance, as provided by law.
Section 9. In the event a variation from the total budget appropriation is or becomes necessary,
such variations shall only become legally effective upon the adoption of an amending Ordinance
consistent with Florida Statues, the Charter and the Code of Ordinances of the Village of North Palm
Beach.
Section 10. All outstanding encumbrances for Non-Capital and Capital Expenditures on September
30, 2006 shall lapse at that time, and all unexpended Capital Expenditure encumbrances may be added
to the corresponding approved 2006/07 available budget balances and be simultaneously re-
appropriated for capital expenditures, as previously approved in the 2005/06 Fiscal Year.
Section 11. All Ordinances or parts of Ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed to the
extent of such conflict.
Section 12. If any section, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, or word of this Ordinance is for any
reason held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional, inoperative or void, such
holding shall not affect the remainder of the Ordinance.
Section 13. This Ordinance shall take effect on October 1, 2006.
