Pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code, Section 5705.38 (A)
"On or about the first day of each year, the taxing
authority of each subdivision or other taxing unit shall pass
an appropriation measure, and thereafter during the year it
may pass any supplemental appropriation measures as it finds
necessary, based on the revised tax budget or the official
certificate of estimated resources or amendments of the
certificate. If it desires to postpone the passage of the
annual appropriation measure until an amended certificate is
received based on the actual balances, it may pass a temporary
appropriation measure for meeting the ordinary expenses of the
taxing unit until no later than the first day of April of the
current year, and the appropriations made in the temporary
measure shall be chargeable to the appropriations in the
annual appropriation measure for that fiscal year when
passed."
Accordingly, the City of Maumee passes a temporary budget
ordinance at the first council meeting each year to cover
ordinary financial obligations for the 1st quarter of that
year. The final operating budget is then prepared and an
appropriation ordinance is passed at the last council meeting
in March.
