The Keep Atlanta Beautiful Commission shall submit budget requests annually in a manner

of public works and the city council. The commission may make application for state,
federal or private funds and grants and may use any funds so received in the performance
of duties and functions prescribed by this article. The commission shall not be authorized
to make application for state, federal or private funds and grants over $20,000.00
without prior official approval of the city council for a gift, grant, bequest or
devise of real property, money or personal property to be applied, principal or income,
for either permanent or temporary use for commission purposes if the acceptance of
any such gift, grant, bequest or devise will subject the city to additional expense
of any nature or obligation of any kind. The commission may also request assistance,
