Rule 117-7-02 | Appropriation measures.
The township trustees shall adopt appropriation measures. These measures establish the legal level of control. The legal level of control is the level (e.g., fund, program or function, department, object level) at which spending in excess of budgeted amounts would be a violation of law. This is established by the level at which the township trustees appropriate, and must meet or exceed the level prescribed by section 5705.38 of the Revised Code.
