  • 1. Where the board of supervisors of a county,
      by  action taken pursuant to section three hundred seventy-six, provides
      that this section shall apply to such county, the budget  officer  shall
      cause to be prepared for inclusion in the tentative budget a recommended
      capital  program  covering  capital  projects, if any, to be acquired or
      constructed during the  ensuing  fiscal  year.  Such  program  shall  be
      arranged in such manner as to set forth clearly:
        (a)  The  estimated  expenditures  for  each  capital  project for the
      ensuing fiscal year and in the case of  a  capital  project  not  to  be
      completed  during  the  ensuing  fiscal year, the estimated amount to be
      expended therefor after the close of such year; and
        (b) The proposed method of financing such capital program,  separately
      indicating  the amount of each project proposed to be financed by direct
      budgetary appropriation and the amount of each project  proposed  to  be
      financed  by  the issuance of obligations, showing the proposed types of
      obligations together with the periods for which they are proposed to  be
      issued.
        2.  There  shall  be included in the budget message, if any, a general
      summary showing the capital requirements for the ensuing fiscal year and
      such comments and recommendations with respect to the capital program as
      the budget officer may deem advisable.
        3. At any  time  after  the  adoption  of  the  budget  the  board  of
      supervisors   by  the  affirmative  vote  of  two-thirds  of  its  total
      membership may amend the capital program contained  therein  by  adding,
      modifying or abandoning projects. No capital project shall be authorized
      or undertaken unless included in the budget as adopted or amended.
