[HISTORY: 1973 Code §§ 6-1—6-5 as amended
through October 13, 2016. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[New]
Any person, firm or corporation claiming any payment from the
Borough of North Caldwell shall present to the Chief Financial Officer
a detailed bill of items or demand, specifying particularly how the
bill or demand is made up (herein called voucher), certified by the
claimant on forms to be provided by the Borough Chief Financial Officer.
The voucher shall have the certification of an officer or employee
of the borough having knowledge thereof that the work has been performed
or the goods and materials have been received or the services rendered,
as stated.
[New]
It shall be the duty of the Chief Financial Officer to have
every voucher audited and to certify that it is mathematically correct.
[New]
Each voucher shall then be presented to the Chairman of the
committee having jurisdiction over the work, goods or material or
services for which the claim is made (or in the absence of the Chairman
by another member of the committee), who shall recommend payment of
the claim. After such approval, the vouchers shall be presented to
the Finance Committee for its approval, and thereafter the Chief Financial
Officer shall present the schedule of bills to the Council for formal
approval and payment by resolution at the next regular meeting of
the Mayor and Council each month. A record of all claims ordered paid
shall be incorporated in the minutes of the regular meeting.
[New]
The Chief Financial Officer, after adoption of resolution authorizing
payment of the bills and claims, shall certify the same on the voucher.
Checks in payment of said bills or claims as approved, after having
been signed by the Mayor, shall be countersigned by the Chief Financial
Officer and the Borough Clerk and then released to the claimant.
