On or before the [fifteenth] seventh day of May, nineteen hundred [ninety-one] ninety-two, and on or before the first day of May in each succeeding year, the mayor shall submit to the council a budget containing a complete plan of proposed expenditures and estimated revenues for the next fiscal year. Therein he shall set forth in detail and summary: (a) Estimates of the expenditures necessary in his judgment for carrying on the city government for the ensuing fiscal year, separately stating the estimates of expenditures necessary for school purposes and for all other purposes and stating in total the amount necessary to accomplish every separate function of each department, division, city agency or other purpose. (b) Estimates of the receipts of the city during the ensuing fiscal year under laws existing at the time of the budget is transmitted and also under the revenue proposals, if any, contained in the budget, and shall allocate separately the estimates of receipts to be credited for school purposes and for all other purposes. (c) The expenditures and receipts of the city during the last completed fiscal year. (d) Estimates of the expenditures and receipts of the city during the current fiscal year. (e) The balanced statements of the condition of the treasury at the end of the last completed fiscal year and the estimated condition of the treasury at the end of the current fiscal year.

That the third and fourth paragraphs of section thirty-nine of the charter of the city of Buffalo, adopted pursuant to law, be amended, in part, to read as follows: Sec. 39. Action on Budget. If no additions are made by the council, the budget, as passed by it, shall be deemed to have been adopted without any action of the mayor; if, however, the budget as passed by the council contains any such additions, it must be presented by the city clerk to the mayor on or before the [tenth] twenty-eighth day of [June] May , nineteen hundred [ninety-one] ninety-two, and on or before the twenty-second day of May of each succeeding year for his consideration of such additions. If the mayor approves all the additions, he shall affix his signature to a statement thereof and return the budget and such statement to the city clerk. The budget, including the additions as part thereof, shall then be deemed to have been adopted. The mayor may object to any one or more of such added items and in such case shall append to the budget a statement of the added items to which he objects with the reasons for his objections and shall return the budget with his objections to the city clerk who shall present the same to the council at its next stated or special meeting. The council shall thereupon enter the objections upon its journal and proceed to reconsider the additions so objected to. If upon such reconsideration two-thirds of all the members constituting the council vote to approve such additions, or any of them, notwithstanding the objections of the mayor, the budget with the additions so approved, together with any additions not so objected to by the mayor, shall be deemed to have been adopted. If the budget with additions is not returned by the mayor to the city clerk with his objections within ten days after its presentation to him, it shall be deemed to have been adopted. If a budget has not been adopted, as herein provided, on or before the [twenty-second] fifteenth day of June, [nineteen hundred ninety-one] nineteen hundred ninety- two and the eighth day of June of each succeeding year, then the budget, as submitted by the mayor, including all additions to which he has failed to object, shall be the budget for the ensuing fiscal year.
