[Adopted 4-21-2015 by Ord. No. 1623[1]]
[1]
Editor's Note: This ordinance also repealed former Art. I,
Payment of Claims, adopted 2-14-1990 by Ord. No. 893 as Sec. 2-36
of the 1988 Code, as amended.
Any person claiming payment from the Borough shall present a
detailed bill or demand to the Finance Department with the certification
of the party that payment amount is correct.
It shall be the duty of the Finance Department to require that
every claim shall carry a certification of an officer or duly designated
employee of the Borough having knowledge of the fact that the goods
have been received by, or the services rendered to, the Borough.
A.
The Finance
Department shall forward all claims to the Chairperson of the Council
committee responsible for the department that is to be charged for
the claim. The Chairperson or Vice Chairperson, if satisfied that
the claims are proper, shall approve the claims and file them with
the Finance Department.
The Mayor and Council shall consider all claims and shall approve
or disapprove the claims. When the Mayor and Council disapproves any
claim, it shall state the reasons for such rejection. Any disapproved
claim shall be referred back to the Finance Department with such instructions
as the Mayor and Council may give at the time of disapproval.
It shall be the duty of the Borough Clerk to record all claims
in the official minutes, indicating that the Council has, by formal
action, approved claims, or an appropriate record as to any claims
disapproved or rejected.
A.
After certifying
that the claims have been approved, the Finance Department shall forthwith
prepare the necessary checks for the payment of the claims. The checks
shall be signed by the Mayor, the Borough Clerk, and the Chief Financial
Officer, or the alternate signators on the applicable account. In
the absence of three signators, two signatures on a check shall be
sufficient.
B.
After preparing
the checks for the payment of claims, the Finance Department shall
mail or otherwise distribute the checks to the claimants.
In the case of reimbursement for actual and necessary travel
expenses incurred by Borough officials where authorized to travel
by the Borough, itemized claims supported by receipts, where available,
should be presented in order to obtain the reimbursement for such
expenses.
