[Adopted as Title 4, Ch. 4.20, of the 1986 Code]
The City Treasurer shall annually, upon the approval of the
City Auditor and the written order of the Mayor, pay to the head of
any department, or to such member or employee of any department as
may be designated by the head of such department, such sums as may
be from time to time appropriated by the City Council to be used by
such department for the purpose stated in this article.
The money described in § 42-7 shall be kept by such official or employee apart from his own funds, and as money belonging to the City, and shall be used by him only for the payment of such traveling and other necessary expenditures as any emergency may call for, and which must be met at once and without delay incidental to the approval and payment of bills as provided by ordinance.
Whenever any expenditure has been made from the fund referred to in § 42-7, the bill for the same shall be transmitted to the City Auditor for his approval in conformity with existing ordinances and statutes, the same as if it had not been paid as mentioned in this article, and the amount thereof approved shall be paid by the City Treasurer to such official or employee and upon such repayment shall become a part of such fund.
A.
In all cases where the fund, referred to in § 42-7 exceeds $300 in amount, the official or employee having custody thereof shall give a bond for the faithful performance of his duty in an amount equal to such fund and with a surety or sureties.
B.
Such bond shall be approved by the City Treasurer.
