Each political subdivision may make expenditures for the payment of current payrolls upon the authority of a proper appropriation for such purpose, provided that the positions of such employees and their compensation have been determined prior thereto by resolution, ordinance, or in the manner provided by law. The total expenditures for such purpose during the first half of any fiscal year shall not exceed six tenths of the appropriation therefor, unless the taxing authority of such subdivision, by a three-fourths vote of all the members, waives such limitation. In the resolution waiving such limitation there shall be set forth the reason therefor.
