 (from Ch. 34, par. 6-24008)Sec. 6-24008.     Limitations.     After the adoption of such  appropriation bill or resolution, the  said board of commissioners shall not make any further or other  appropriations prior to the adoption or passage of the next succeeding  annual appropriation bill, and the said board of commissioners shall have  no power, either directly or indirectly, to make any contract or to do any  act which shall add to the county expenditure or liabilities in any year,  anything or sum over and above the amount provided for in the annual  appropriation bill for that fiscal year. No contract shall hereafter be  made, or expense or liability incurred by the said board of commissioners,  or any member or committee thereof, or by any person or persons, for or in  its behalf, notwithstanding the expenditure may have been ordered by the  said board of commissioners, unless an appropriation therefor shall have  been previously made by said board in manner aforesaid. Neither said board,  nor any member or committee thereof, nor any officer of the county, nor any  person holding any office, trust or employment under such board of  commissioners of such county, shall, during a fiscal year, expend or  contract to be expended any money, or incur any liability, or enter into  any contract which, by its terms, involves the expenditure of money for any  of the purposes for which provision is made in the annual appropriation  bill in excess of the amounts appropriated in said appropriation bill.  Provided, however, that the board of commissioners may lease from any  Public Building Commission created pursuant to the provisions of the Public  Building Commission Act, approved July 5, 1955, as now or hereafter  amended, any real or personal property for county purposes for any period  of time not exceeding 20 years, and such lease may be made and the  obligation or expense thereunder incurred without making a previous  appropriation therefor except as otherwise provided in Section 5-1108.  Any contract, verbal or written, made in violation of this Section shall be  null and void as to said county, and no moneys belonging to that county  shall be paid thereon; provided, however, that nothing herein contained  shall prevent the making of lawful contracts for the construction of  buildings, the term of which contracts may be for periods of more than one  year. Provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent the  board of commissioners, by a concurring vote of four-fifths of all the  commissioners (said vote to be taken by yeas and nays and entered upon the  journal), for making any expenditure or incurring any liability rendered  necessary, by any unforeseen casualty by fire, flood or otherwise,  happening after the annual appropriation bill shall have been passed or  adopted. Nor shall anything herein contained be construed to deprive the  board of power to provide for and cause to be paid from the county funds  any charge upon said county imposed by law, without the action of the board  of commissioners, including fixed salaries of officers or employees  required by law to be paid from the county treasury, and to pay jurors'  fees and other charges fixed by law.Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section or Section  6-24001, the board of commissioners may, during the fiscal year 1969, adopt  a supplemental appropriation bill or resolution in an amount not in excess  of any additional revenue available to the county, or estimated to be  received by the county, subsequent to the adoption of the annual  appropriation bill or resolution for that fiscal year, for any proper  corporate purpose. Such supplemental appropriation bill or resolution shall  only affect revenue that was not available for appropriation when the  annual appropriation bill or resolution was adopted, and the provisions of  Section 6-24004 relating to publication, notice and public hearing shall not  be applicable to such supplemental appropriation bill or resolution or to  the budget document forming the basis thereof.
