It really depends on the context. 'Ordenador de despesa' is anyone vested with authority to make a payment or authorize disbursement of any government funds. The mayor can be a O.D., as can the head of a government agency.
Check the reference for an explanation.

public servant in charge of expenses approval
Essa foi a explicação que encontrei o site do Senado Federal (BR). Desconheço um termo em inglês que traduz a mesma ideia.
Example sentence:
O ordenador de despesas deve sempre ser um servidor público, ocupante de cargo público - titular de cargo de confiança com ou sem vínculo efetivo - ou empregado público.
