§ 821. Composition and Limitations upon County Funds.

All revenues and receipts from utility assessments, self-sustaining public service enterprises, and refuse collection; from monies held by the County as trustee or agent; or from bond proceeds shall be paid into and appropriated from special funds created therefor. All other revenues and receipts of the County from taxes, grants, State revenues and other receipts shall be paid into and appropriated from the general fund which shall be the primary fund for the financing of current expenses for the conduct of County business. Upon request of the County Executive, the Council may, by the Annual Budget and Appropriation Ordinance, or by other legislative act, provide for the establishment of working capital or revolving funds for the financing of central stores, equipment pools, or other services common to the agencies of the County. Notwithstanding other provisions of this Article, the Council may establish a Reserve Fund for Permanent Public Improvements, and self-insurance of County property into which there may be paid by the Annual Budget and Appropriation Ordinance cash surpluses not otherwise appropriated, or toward the financing of which taxes or other sources of revenue may be dedicated.
