Whenever by any advice provided for as to the disposition of
the money in the special deposit fund it appears that all or any part
of such money is payable to the city, the director of finance and
administrative services need not draw a warrant therefor but may transfer
such amount by journal voucher to the proper fund.
(Prior code § 5-3)
[1]
See Charter, Art. XI, § 18, as to "special deposit
fund."
All moneys paid into the special deposit fund provided for in
the charter shall be repaid to the depositor thereof, or otherwise
disposed of in the manner provided in this chapter; provided, however,
that the section requiring deduction for clerical expense shall not
be applicable and no deduction shall be made for that purpose in refunding
special deposits of money received in its governmental or proprietary
capacity in which such moneys are merely held by the city for return
upon the happening of some contingent event, there being no inspection,
review, checking of plans or like operations of the city entailing
administrative overhead other than the receipt or payment of such
moneys.
(Prior code § 5-4)

See Charter, Art. XI, § 18.

any such money issue in triplicate a receipt showing the name of the
depositor thereof, the amount deposited and the purpose for which
the same was deposited, the date of the deposit, the officer, commission
or chapter with whom such deposit was made and the name of the person
who actually received the same.

One
copy each of such receipts shall be furnished the depositor and the
director of finance and administrative services and a copy shall be
retained by the issuing officer, commission or division.

(Prior code § 5-5)
[1]
For charter provisions as to duty of city officials to pay
money to treasurer daily, see Charter, Art. XXIII, § 14.
When the depositor of any money placed in the special deposit
fund shall become entitled to the return of the same, or when it shall
be determined that the same has been forfeited or is to be applied
in payment of any costs, charges or damages to guarantee which the
same was deposited, the officer, commission or division by whom such
special deposit was received from the original depositors thereof
shall advise the director of finance and administrative services,
in writing, of the disposition to be made of such special deposit,
giving the names of the persons entitled to receive any part thereof
and the amounts to be paid to such persons. Thereupon, the director
of finance and administrative services shall draw his or her warrant
on the treasurer for the payment of the amount of such special deposit,
or any portion thereof, in the manner stated in the advice.
(Prior code § 5-6)
