The budget shall provide a complete financial plan of all city funds and activities
for the ensuing fiscal year and, except as required by law, shall be in such form
as the city manager deems desirable or the city council may require. In organizing
the budget the city manager shall utilize the most feasible combination of expenditure
classification by fund, organization unit, program, purpose or activity, and object.
It shall begin with a clear general summary of its contents; shall show in detail
all estimated income, indicating the proposed property tax levy, and all proposed
expenditures, including debt service, for the ensuing fiscal year; and shall be so
arranged as to show comparative figures for actual and estimated income and expenditures
of the current fiscal year and actual income and expenditures of the preceding fiscal
year. It shall indicate proposed expenditures for current operations during the ensuing
fiscal year, detailed by departments in terms of their major expenditure classification
and their respective work programs, and the method of financing such expenditures.
The total of proposed expenditures shall not exceed the total of estimated income,
prior year balances and appropriations from surplus.
