§ A2303-A BROOME COUNTY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE § A2303-A
shall be held on the date so specified, at which time any person may be heard for
or against the recommendations and estimates submitted by the County Legislature
or a Committee designated by the County Legislature or any item thereof.
5. Adoption of a budget.

(e)
After the conclusion of the public hearing, the County Legislature may add or
strike items of appropriation or anticipated revenue from the tentative college
budget or increase or reduce items therein, except appropriations required by law
or for debt service. It may change items in such budget, provided that the changes
are stated separately and distinctly.
If the college budget, as submitted by the County Executive, is adopted by
resolution of the County Legislature with no changes, such budget shall be deemed
to have been adopted without any further action by the County Executive. If,
however, the County Legislature makes changes to the tentative college budget as
proposed by the County Executive, those changes shall be presented to the Clerk
of the County Legislature and the County Executive no later than the first day of
August for the Executive's examination and consideration. If the County Executive
approves all changes, he shall affix his signature to a statement thereof and return
the college budget together with such statement to the Clerk of the County
Legislature, and the budget, including the changes as part thereof, shall be deemed
to be adopted.
If the budget, with any changes, is not returned by the County Executive to the
Clerk of the County Legislature with his objections on or before the fifth day of
August, it shall be deemed adopted with the changes.
If the County Executive objects to any one or more of the proposed changes made
by the Legislature, he shall append to the budget a statement of the changes to
which he objects, setting forth his or her reasons therefor, and shall, not later than
the fifth day of August, return the budget with his or her objections to the Clerk of
the County Legislature, who shall present the same to the County Legislature at a
meeting to be held not later than the 12th day of August. The County Legislature
shall thereupon enter the objections upon its journal and proceed to reconsider the
changes to which objection is made by the County Executive. If, upon such
reconsideration, 3/5 of the whole number of members of the County Legislature
vote to approve such changes or any of them, the budget with the changes so
approved, together with any changes not objected to by the County Executive,
shall be deemed adopted. If the Legislature fails to act on or override such
objections by three-fifths vote on or before the 15th day of August, the objections
shall become final and be deemed adopted without the changes objected to by the
County Executive.
If the budget has not been adopted as herein provided on or before the 15th day of
August, then the proposed budget as submitted by the County Executive, plus all
changes as to which he has failed to object, shall be the budget for the ensuing
fiscal year.
