A. The county budget board may amend the budget to make supplemental appropriations to any fund up to the amount of revenues in excess of the total estimated in the latest budget, which are available for current expenses due to: 1. Revenues received from sources not anticipated in the budget for that year; 2. Revenues received from anticipated sources but in excess of the budget estimates therefor; or 3. An unexpended and unencumbered fund balance on hand at the end of the preceding fiscal year which had not been anticipated in the budget. Any appropriation authorizing the creation of an indebtedness shall be governed by the applicable provisions of Article X 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 in the fund, the county budget board shall take such 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 unexpended and unencumbered 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 or change in appropriation of funds shall be adopted at a meeting of the county budget board and filed with the county clerk, the county excise board and the State Auditor and Inspector.
