[HISTORY: Adopted by the Township Committee of the Township
of Fairfield as § 2-5 of the 1980 Code. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
All monies received from any source by any official or employee
of the Township by or on behalf of the Township of Fairfield, or by
any Township Committee member thereof, except school monies, shall
be paid to the Township Chief Financial Officer, within the time limit
as prescribed by law.
It shall not be lawful for the Township Committee or the financial
officers of the Township to pay out or disburse any of the monies
of the Township of Fairfield to any person, unless the person claiming
or receiving such monies shall first present to the Township Committee
a detailed bill of items of demand on voucher forms as adopted by
the Township specifying particularly how such bill is made up, with
the certification of the party claiming the money, provided that,
in the case of a corporation, said certification shall be made by
some officer or agent of the corporation having knowledge of the facts
attested to.
[Amended 4-15-2002 by Ord. No. 491-2002]
All warrants for the disbursement of monies of the Township
shall be drawn on the appropriate Township bank account. The signatures
required on each check shall depend on the account the check is issued
from. Each year the Township Committee shall approve a Cash Management
Plan. Within this plan each Township bank account shall be specified
indicating the number of signatures required and the Township positions
that shall execute the signatures (i.e., Clerk, CFO, Mayor, Deputy
Mayor, etc.). Warrants for stated salaries and to meet the payroll
of persons regularly employed by the Township shall be drawn as of
course, without being presented to the Township Committee, unless
otherwise ordered by the Committee.
