budget.
A.  The governing body may amend the budget to make supplemental
appropriations to any fund up to the amount of additional revenues
which are available for current expenses for the fund due to:
1.  Revenues received or to be received from sources not
anticipated in the budget for that year;
2.  Revenues received or to be received from anticipated sources
but in excess of the budget estimates therefor; or
3.  Unexpended and unencumbered fund balances on hand at the end
of the preceding fiscal year which had not been anticipated or
appropriated in the budget.  Any appropriation authorizing the
creating of an indebtedness shall be governed by the applicable
provisions of Article 10 of the Oklahoma Constitution.
B.  If at any time during the budget year it appears probable
that revenues available will be insufficient to meet the amount
appropriated, or that due to unforeseen emergencies there is
temporarily insufficient money in a particular fund to meet the
requirements of appropriation for the fund, the governing body shall
take action as it deems necessary.  For that purpose, it may amend
the budget to reduce one or more appropriations or it may amend the
budget to transfer money from one fund to another fund, but no
appropriation for debt service may be reduced and no appropriation
may be reduced by more than the amount of the unencumbered and
unexpended balance thereof.  No transfer shall be made from the debt
service fund to any other fund except as may be permitted by the
terms of the bond issue or applicable law.
C.  A budget amendment as provided in this section authorizing
supplemental appropriations or a decrease in the total appropriation
of funds shall be adopted at a meeting of the governing body and
filed with the municipal clerk and the State Auditor and Inspector.
