Except in those municipalities which operate on the State fiscal year pursuant to section 2 or 3 of P.L.1991, c. 75 (C.40A:4-3.1 or C.40A:4-3.2), on or before the fifteenth day of the fiscal year the mayor shall submit to council his recommended budget together with such explanatory comment or statement as he may deem desirable. The budget shall be in such form as is required by law for municipal budgets, and shall in addition have appended thereto a detailed analysis of the various items of expenditure and revenue. Council may reduce any item or items in the mayor's budget by a vote of a majority of the council, but an increase in any item or items therein shall become effective only upon an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of council.
