Answer


The Local Government Budget Act (LGBA) requires that a budget adoption instrument (i.e. ordinance or resolution) be used to adopt the political subdivision’s budget. R.S. 39:1305

In the case of the library board, a resolution would be required to adopt its fiscal year budget under the LGBA.

See the LLA’s LGBA FAQ for a sample budget resolution.
