(A)

No obligations of the county shall be authorized in any fiscal year for or on account of any capital project not included in a county budget as finally adopted for such year or, subject to the limitations of section 713, for any prior year; provided, however, that upon receipt of a recommendation in writing from the county executive, the county council may, by the affirmative vote of a majority plus one of the total number of county council members established by this Charter, amend the county budget in accordance with such recommendation.

(B)

No capital project shall be commenced or undertaken, nor shall any funds be expended, committed, encumbered or pledged for the consideration, improvement, renovation, purchase, lease or rental of any structure or property, nor shall any existing property be sold, pledged or mortgaged by the Baltimore County Revenue Authority, except projects of $25,000 or less, until and unless the revenue authority has given official advance written notice 15 days prior to such proposed action to both the county council and the county executive.
