Sec. 2-122. Examination of claims; warrants generally.
The director of finance shall examine all claims and demands
for or against the city, and no money shall be drawn from the
treasury or paid to any person, unless the balance so due or
payable be first audited, adjusted or determined by the director
of finance. All accounts so audited and approved by the director
of finance shall be paid by drawing his warrant on the
treasurer, stating to whom payable, on what account and the
particular appropriation from which the same is payable, and
no money shall be drawn from the treasury except upon the
warrant of the director of finance as aforesaid. In no other
case shall any warrant be drawn by the director of finance
for the payment of money, unless the same is authorized by
some ordinance or resolution of the city council, making a
special appropriation to the person or department in whose
behalf the same is drawn. (Code 1959, § 2-122; 12-31-70.)
