(2) Administrative preparation for projects supported by funds appropriated in this budget may begin prior to July 1, 2026, provided that all contracts executed hereunder prior to July 1, 2026 shall contain the provision that no work shall commence under such contract prior to July 1, 2026 or become an obligation of the City unless the Director of Finance certifies that there is an approved Fiscal Year appropriation with an available funding source allocated. (3) The Director of Finance and the City Controller are authorized to approve encumbrances and expenditures for the appropriated purposes to the limit of the amounts shown but only to the extent that loans have been authorized and to the extent other funds have been certified to be available. (4) To the extent that a project includes "CT" or "XT" funds which were encumbered or expended in the prior fiscal year, the Director of Finance may decrease the appropriation for such project by such amounts. The Director of Finance shall place such amounts, for bookkeeping purposes, in a reserve account under the Office of the Director of Finance and such amounts may not be used for any project. Within one week of taking any action authorized by this subsection (4), the Director of Finance shall provide written notice to the President and all members of Council, with a copy to the Chief Clerk of Council, detailing such action. (5) None of the "Other Than City Funds" herein appropriated for projects which are dependent on funding by grants from Federal "FB" and "FT" and/or State "SB" and "ST," and/or private "PB" and "PT," and/or other governments and agencies "TB" and "TT," as authorized in the Capital Budget, shall be encumbered or expended until receipt of a formal grant award, and the funding allocation is limited by the award amount and the appropriation authorized. The Director of Finance shall provide written proof of every such formal grant award to the President and all members of Council, with a copy to the Chief Clerk of Council, prior to any encumbrance or expenditure supported by such award.
