Functions of CouncilBudget Deliberation/Approval Procedure
The budget is the financial scope of a local authority for a year.
The budget is planned by the mayor and deliberated and approved by the council. The budget is executed by the mayor and settlement is approved by the council.
The budget is passed through the strict deliberation and resolution procedures to prevent even a penny paid by citizens from being wasted.
