Terms Used In Alabama Code 11-44C-57

  • writing: includes typewriting and printing on paper. See Alabama Code 1-1-1

Appropriations in addition to those contained in the original general fund budget ordinance, may be made by the council by not less than five affirmative votes, but only on the recommendation of the mayor and only if the director of finance certifies in writing that there is available in the general fund an unappropriated sum sufficient to meet such appropriation.
