sec.165 Unauthorised spending for genuine emergency or hardship
The council may spend money that is not authorised in the annual budget only for genuine emergency or hardship. However, the council must make a resolution about spending the money before, or as soon as practicable after, the money is spent. The resolution must state how the spending is to be funded. If the council’s budget for a financial year is amended after the money is spent, the amendment must take the spending into account.
