§ 6013. Capital and operating budgets. (a) Capital budget.--At least 90 days before the commencing of the ensuing fiscal year of the authority, the board shall cause to be prepared and submitted to it a recommended capital budget. The capital budget shall show in detail the capital expenditures to be made or incurred in the next fiscal year which are to be financed from funds subject to control or appropriation by the board. The capital budget shall be prepared with the aid of the Secretary of the Budget and the chief financial officer of the city and shall be in a form and detail satisfactory to them. In the event that the capital budget is not in a form and detail satisfactory to either the Secretary of the Budget or the chief financial officer of the city, either official may require that the capital budget be redrafted and resubmitted. The official shall not be considered to be in receipt of the capital budget or any amendments to the capital budget unless the form and detail is to the officer's satisfaction. For each separate purpose, project, facility or other property, the amount and the source of the money which has been spent, encumbered or is intended to be spent or encumbered during the fiscal year shall be shown. No later than the date of the adoption of the annual operating budget, the board shall adopt a capital budget by a majority vote of its members. (b) Operating budget.--At least 90 days before the commencing of the ensuing fiscal year of the authority, the board shall cause to be prepared and submitted to it a recommended operating budget. The operating budget shall be prepared with the aid of the chief financial officer of the city and shall be in form and detail satisfactory to him. In the event that the operating budget is not in a form and detail satisfactory to the chief financial officer of the city, the officer may require that the operating budget be redrafted and resubmitted. The chief financial officer shall not be considered to be in receipt of the operating budget or any amendments to the operating budget unless the form and detail is to the officer's satisfaction. The operating budget should set forth the estimated receipts and revenue of the authority during the next fiscal year. The board shall, at least 30 days before the end of the fiscal year, adopt, by a majority vote of its members, an operating budget for the next fiscal year. (c) Additional approvals or disapprovals.--If the Secretary of the Budget or the chief financial officer of the city in which the convention center is located are among the members appointed to the board of the authority or if they sit as ex officio members of the board, each shall have the right to approve or disapprove each line item of the capital budget of the authority and any amendments to it as well as all change orders. In addition, the chief financial officer of the city shall have the right to approve or disapprove the total amount of the operating budget of the authority and any amendments increasing the aggregate amount. In the case of both the capital and operating budgets and change orders of the authority, approval shall be presumed unless the chief financial officer of the city has disapproved the entire operating budget or relevant amendments to it or either the chief financial officer of the city or the Secretary of the Budget has disapproved all or part of the capital budget of the authority or amendments to it or change orders within 30 days of the receipt of the respective budgets, amendments to the respective budgets or change orders. The Secretary of the Budget or the chief financial officer of the city may establish a threshold level below which the officers will not exercise their right to disapprove change orders and may identify categories or types of change orders for which they will not exercise that right. (d) Project design.--Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter to the contrary, the design for any capital project undertaken by the authority shall be submitted to the Secretary of the Budget and the chief financial officer of the city for approval. No capital project may be undertaken by the authority unless the schematic design and the preliminary design development documents have been approved by the Secretary of the Budget and the chief financial officer of the city. The design and construction of any capital project for the convention center may be divided into stages or phases for which schematic design and preliminary design development documents may be approved separately by the Secretary of the Budget and the chief financial officer of the city and which may be undertaken by the authority as if each stage or phase was a separate capital project. In the case of the schematic design and preliminary design development documents for any capital project or any stage or phase of a capital project, approval shall be presumed unless the Secretary of the Budget or the chief financial officer of the city has disapproved the design and expressly set forth his objections to the documents within 45 days of the receipt of the documents. Further design approval shall not be required provided the construction documents are consistent with the design set forth in the schematic and preliminary design development documents. (e) Onsite inspectors.--The Secretary of the Budget may appoint and designate an inspector or inspectors who shall have complete authority to inspect any and all aspects of the construction of any capital project undertaken by the authority. Any inspection shall be made during normal business hours and shall be conducted in such a manner as to not disrupt the work of constructing the convention center and shall be made solely for the purpose of observing the construction of the project. The inspectors shall report to the Secretary of the Budget for the purpose of assisting the secretary in carrying out his duties and responsibilities as provided by this section.
