[Amended 12-18-2001 by Ord. No. 326]
The Borough Treasurer shall be appointed by the Borough Council,
subject to the approval of the Borough Council and shall serve at
the pleasure of the Council.
The Borough Treasurer shall, before entering upon the duties
of his office, give bond conditioned for the faithful performance
of his duties. He shall keep a just account of all receipts and disbursements
and shall annually submit his account to the Borough auditors. He
shall pay over all moneys remaining in his hands and deliver all books,
papers, accounts and other things belonging to the Borough to his
successor. All moneys received by any officer or other person for
the use of the Borough shall be forthwith paid to the Borough Treasurer.
He shall deposit all moneys received by him in a bank or banking institution
in the name of the Borough. All expenditures shall be paid out of
funds in the treasury only when authorized by the Treasurer, upon
an order approved by the Borough Council. Such order shall not be
executed unless there is money in the treasury available therefore.
The Borough Council may, by resolution, appoint an assistant
Treasurer, who shall not be a member of the Council. The assistant
Treasurer shall assist the Treasurer in the performance of his duties
and, in case of the absence or disability of the Treasurer, shall
perform the duties and may exercise the powers of the Treasurer.
