§ 2.24.020. Requisitions for payments.

A.

Before money is paid out of the city treasury a requisition therefor in writing, with detailed accounts attached specifying the amount to be paid, and the party to whom the payment is due, shall be made by the board or head of the department incurring the expenditure, upon the city auditor. The auditor shall receive all such requisitions, accounts and claims rendered against the city, and carefully examine the same, shall see that they are correctly cast and approved, and shall properly record and file the same. In case of any error or informality, the auditor shall make note of the fact and return the bill or demand with the objections to the officer or board presenting the same, for correction or explanation. The auditor shall keep a book wherein he or she shall record the date and amount of every account and claim against the city presented as aforesaid, and as finally allowed, designating the fund or appropriation from which the same shall be paid.

B.

When the regular monthly bills due from the city for services rendered or supplies furnished have been recorded by the auditor, the draft or order upon the city treasurer for the payment of the aggregate amount of the bills aforesaid shall be signed by the auditor.
