The Township Council shall not make payment of any of the funds of the
Township unless the person claiming or receiving the same shall first present
a written detailed bill of the items or claims specifying particularly the
nature of the bill, claim or demand, with the certification of the party claiming
payment that said bill, claim or demand is correct. All such bills, claims
or demands shall then be certified by the Township Manager or any other municipal
employee having knowledge that the goods or merchandise have been received
by, or the services rendered to, the Township.
All bills, claims or demands which have met the requirements of §
10-1 hereof shall then be set forth in and annexed to a bill resolution which shall be presented to the Council for approval or disapproval at a regular or special public meeting of the Township Council.
All bills, claims or demands and any other obligations of the Township
which have been approved for payment shall be paid by check, which after being
signed by the Mayor or the Township Manager, shall be countersigned by the
Treasurer or, in the absence of the Treasurer, by the Township Clerk.
