§ 2-941. Referral of appropriations or expenditures to committee on finance.

All ordinances or other measures to appropriate money or involving its expenditure, unless governed by resolution or ordinance, shall be referred to the committee on finance for approval or disapproval before being adopted. Any such measure not so referred to the committee shall be void, and the chief financial officer shall not draw a voucher for the appropriation or expenditure nor shall the mayor sign a check therefor. However, if the committee on finance fails to make a report on such measures so referred to it before or at the time of the second regular meeting of the council following such reference, the measure may be introduced and passed by the council with or without the approval of the committee on finance.
