[R.O. of 1966 §205.030; Ord. No. 1304 §3, 4-12-1993]
The City Clerk shall annually on the first (1st) meeting of
the Board of Aldermen in April of each year make out, under oath,
lists of delinquent taxes remaining due and uncollected for the past
year to be known as the "Land and Lot Delinquent List" and the "Personal
Delinquent List." The Board of Aldermen shall, at the meeting at which
said lists are returned or as soon thereafter as possible carefully
examine the same and if it shall appear to the Board that all property
and taxes contained in said lists are properly returned as delinquent,
the Board shall approve the same and a record thereof shall be entered
by the Clerk on the journal and the amount thereof shall be credited
to the account of the Clerk.
[R.O. of 1966 §205.040; Ord. No. 1304 §3, 4-12-1993]
It shall be the duty of the City Clerk to pay into the Treasury,
monthly, all monies belonging to the City which may come into his
hands and all monies received by him from all sources which may be
levied by law or ordinances; and all licenses of every description
authorized by ordinances to be collected, and all monies belonging
to the City which may come into his hands. He shall designate to the
Treasurer the fund or funds to which said money belongs and shall
take from said Treasurer two (2) receipts for said money specifying
the funds to which the money belongs, one (1) of which he shall file
with the Clerk and the other shall be kept by him.
[R.O. of 1966 §205.050; Ord. No. 1304 §3, 4-12-1993]
The City Clerk shall report to the Board of Aldermen, at the
regular meeting in each month, all the taxes collected on the "real
and personal delinquent lists" and he shall pay the same into the
City Treasury and shall receive credit therefor. He shall turn over
to his successor in office all uncollected delinquent lists, receiving
credit therefor, and his successor shall be charged therewith, provided
however, the Board of Aldermen may declare worthless any and all personal
delinquent taxes which they may deem uncollectible. The Clerk shall
report to the Board of Aldermen in writing at any time, when called
upon so to do, the amount of money that has come into his hands as
City Clerk, the time when and the sources from which he received the
same, the amounts paid over by him to the City Treasurer with the
dates of such payment and the amount, if any, still remaining in his
hands.
