Sec. 14. (a) All expenses to be incurred by the department, necessary to be paid before the issuance of bonds or the receipt of revenues by the department, shall be met and paid in the following manner:
(1) The board shall from time to time certify an estimate of the maximum amount of the items of expense to the fiscal officer of the consolidated city, who shall report whether any funds for payment are available.
(2) If so available, and when set aside for that purpose, the board may authorize expenses within the maximum amounts, and shall direct the fiscal officer to pay the amounts, as incurred.
(3) The fiscal officer shall then draw warrants for payment, which shall be paid out of any available general funds of the city not already appropriated, without special appropriation being made by and without the approval of any other body.
(4) In case there are no unappropriated and available general funds of the city, the fiscal officer may recommend to the legislative body a temporary transfer, from any other funds of the city that may be available, of a sufficient amount to meet the items of expense, or the making of a temporary loan for that purpose, and the legislative body shall make the transfer of funds or authorize a temporary loan, in the same manner as other transfers or temporary loans are made by the city.
(b) The amount advanced by the city under subsection (a)(4) and outstanding at any time may not exceed one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000), and the fund or funds of the city from which an advancement is made shall be fully reimbursed and repaid by the board out of the first proceeds of bonds issued under this chapter, or out of revenues of the department when revenues are sufficient for that purpose. Any funds so repaid shall be considered appropriated and shall be credited to whatever fund, or funds, they were withdrawn from for the advances. No part of the funds advanced by the city at any time may be used for the acquisition of any property or its improvement or for the payment of any bonds.
