[Ord. No. O-09-04]
(a) 
City-sponsored, City co-sponsored and ward party community events that will be held during the fiscal year are subject to the Common Council's appropriation of funds into the parks and recreation budget line to cover the costs of such events ("The Community events budget line"). Any labor costs that may be incurred by the City during such events shall be appropriated from the departmental budget line of the department whose employees shall be assigned to duty at such event. If sufficient funds are not appropriated, or if the community events budget line is not amended by the Common Council to provide the necessary funds, then the City shall have no obligation to sponsor or co-sponsor such event, and the applicant may withdraw the application or secure funds from another source.
(b) 
The City Administrator shall have the authority to allocate funds in the community events budget line to any City-sponsored, City co-sponsored or ward party as he may deem appropriate, provided there is a rational basis to support such allocation.
