§ 6.08. Allotments of appropriations.

All appropriations contained in the current operating budget shall be allotted by the director of finance on a quarterly basis, and it shall be his or her duty to make such allotments promptly at the beginning of each quarter of the fiscal year. Such allotments shall be based upon estimated needs, and in the determination of such need the director of finance may require all spending agencies to submit allotments requests on such forms as he or she may prescribe. Such allotments shall constitute authorizations for expenditure or encumbrance, and no expenditure shall be made or encumbrance created, but in pursuance of an allotment, and within the otherwise unencumbered balance of such allotment.
