  • Appropriation: The provision of funds, through an annual appropriations act or a permanent law, for federal agencies to make payments out of the Treasury for specified purposes. The formal federal spending process consists of two sequential steps: authorization
  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
When said final form of contract shall have been accepted by all of the municipalities which are parties thereto, each of the municipalities shall forthwith introduce the proper ordinances or resolutions necessary to appropriate the moneys required to carry out the contract, and to authorize the execution thereof and take final action thereon as soon as it lawfully may. If any of the municipalities shall fail so to make the appropriations and to authorize the execution of the contract, the commission may, in its discretion, either take appropriate action to bring about the making of the appropriation and the execution of the contract by the municipality, or it may consider the project to have been abandoned by the municipality so failing and redraft the contract and submit the contract so redrafted to the remaining municipalities for action thereon as herein above provided in the case of the submission of modifications of the contract originally submitted.
