§ 1010. DEMANDS.  


Latest version.
  • All demands against the City must be in writing, must specify the date, nature, and amount of each item included therein and may be in the form of a bill, invoice, payroll, or formal demand. Each such demand shall be presented to the Director of Finance, who shall examine and audit the same. If the amount is legally due and there remains on his or her books an unexpended balance of an appropriation against which it may properly be charged, he or she shall approve such demand and cause the same to be paid from the City treasury, charging the proper fund. Otherwise, he or she shall reject it. The City Council may overrule such rejection and order the demand paid. If funds are insufficient, the demand shall be registered, and all registered demands shall be paid in the order of their registration when funds therefor become available.
