<br />requesting that City Council appropriate a preliminary amount totaling $1,520,456, of
<br />which $380,483 is encumbered but unexpended funds and $1,139,973 is unencumbered

<br />ordinance or any ordinance appropriating funds for the FY 2021 Portsmouth Public
<br />Schools budgets shall lapse at the end of the fiscal year, as provided under 22.1-100 of
