If the local government operates under the Acts of 1957, 1981, or private act, the legislative body can place departments on quarter allotments or impound funds in case of a financial crisis. If the local government operates under the general law, there is no provision for such allotments or impoundments. However, the legislative body could pass a resolution requesting the department or departments reduce their spending of budget appropriations so that they do not exceed anticipated available funds. Another possibility is to pass a resolution reducing the budget appropriations and directing the department or departments not to exceed the revised anticipated available funds.
