2023 New York Laws › CNT - County › Article 7 - Finance › 375 - Allotments of Appropriations.

§ 375. Allotments of appropriations. 1. Where the board of supervisors
  of  a  county,  by  action  taken  pursuant  to  section  three  hundred
  seventy-six, provides that this section shall apply to such county,  the
  head  of each administrative unit shall submit to the budget officer, at
  the time specified by him, a work program for the ensuing  fiscal  year,
  which  program  shall  include  all  appropriations  for  operation  and
  maintenance and purchase of  equipment  and  shall  show  the  requested
  allotments  of  such  appropriations  for  such  administrative  unit by
  quarterly periods for the entire fiscal year. The budget  officer  shall
  review  the requested allotments in the light of the work program of the
  administrative unit and may  revise,  alter,  or  change  the  requested
  allotments  before  approving  the same. The aggregate of the allotments
  for any administrative unit shall not exceed the amount appropriated for
  such administrative unit for the fiscal year. A copy of  the  allotments
  as  finally approved by the budget officer shall be filed with the chief
  fiscal officer and expenditures shall be made only  in  accordance  with
  such  approved allotments as revised. Approved allotments may be revised
  during the fiscal year by the budget officer in the same manner  as  the

2.  If,  at  any  time during the fiscal year the budget officer shall
  ascertain that the available revenues, including the proceeds of the tax
  on  real  estate,  for  such  year  will  be   less   than   the   total
  appropriations,  he shall reconsider the work programs and allotments of
  the several administrative units and make a revision thereof, so  as  to
  prevent  the  making  of expenditures in excess of the amounts available
  therefor.

  furnished.  All elective and appointive county officers shall give  such
  other undertakings as may be required by law.
The board of supervisors or any county officer shall have the power to
  demand the giving of an undertaking by subordinates or employees, as may
  be deemed necessary. Any default or misfeasance in office on the part of
  any  such  subordinate  or  employee  shall  be  deemed  a breach of the
  undertaking of the county officer appointing him as well as a breach  of
  the undertaking furnished by such subordinate or employee.
The  neglect  to furnish and file any such undertaking within the time
  prescribed by law, except in the cases of the sheriff, county clerk  and
  district attorney, shall be deemed a refusal to serve and the office may
  be  filled  as in the case of a vacancy. Until the sheriff, county clerk
  or district attorney shall execute and file the required undertaking, he
  shall not perform any duties of the  office,  nor  be  entitled  to  any
  compensation.
The  board of supervisors shall cause an action to be brought upon any
  breach of the conditions of any such undertaking.

  duplicate of the county seal shall be procured and kept  at  such  court
  house  and  the  county  clerk may use the same at such court house. The
  seal kept by the county clerk in  each  county,  as  prescribed  in  the

  newly  elected  or  appointed county officer has qualified by taking and
  filing the official oath and undertaking required of  him  by  law,  the
  certificate  furnished  by  the  county  clerk  pursuant to section four
  hundred shall be his authority to demand of his predecessor the  custody
  of  all  books,  records,  maps, papers, equipment, supplies, moneys and
  property of the county to which such officer is entitled and directed to
  have custody. Such  inventories,  statements  or  receipts,  as  may  be

  the administrator or executor of his estate may also demand a receipt of

  all books, records, process,  mandates,  commitments  and  other  papers
  pertaining  to  the  office,  to  the new sheriff and duplicate receipts
  shall be given therefor. Uncompleted property executions and  executions
  directed against wages, earnings or income of a judgment-debtor shall be
  delivered to the new sheriff.
3.  The failure of any outgoing officer to deliver such custody within
  ten days after such certificate has been delivered  and  a  demand  made
  thereon,  shall entitle the successor in office to maintain an action in
  the name of the county  against  said  predecessor  in  office,  or  the
  administrator  or  executor  of  his  estate, or against any employee or
  other person having possession thereof, to obtain such  custody  and  to
  recover  any damages that may have been suffered by the county by reason
  of such detention, together with a penalty of five hundred dollars.  The
  county  attorney shall appear for such county officer suing on behalf of
  the county and the recovery together with the statutory costs  shall  be
  the property of the county and may be used for general county purposes.
