All claims or demands against the city shall be filed with the city clerk and shall
by him, insofar as practicable, be referred for recommendation to the director of
finance and will be presented by the director to the city council at its first regular
meeting in each month after such filing; provided, however, that a written demand
need not be made for the payment of money on any contract regularly entered into by
the city, calling for payment at regular intervals or otherwise, or for appropriations
or refunds authorized by the city council by resolution or motion. When any claim
or demand is allowed by the city council and ordered paid, the mayor shall draw a
warrant upon the city treasurer for the same as allowed, which warrant shall be countersigned
by the finance director and accepted by the city treasurer, or their respective authorized
deputies, and shall specify for what purpose the same is drawn and out of what fund
it is to be paid. Upon the presentation of the warrant properly executed and endorsed,
the city treasurer shall pay the same out of the funds in the city treasury applicable
to that purpose. In the case of the respective payrolls for the various departments
of the city, one demand on each fund involved under such respective payrolls shall
be sufficient for all items indicated upon such payroll demand and in such case only
one warrant payable to the city treasurer need be drawn, which warrant, when allowed
as hereinabove set forth, shall be delivered to the treasurer and the proceeds thereof
shall be utilized by the treasurer in the payment of the respective items to the respective
persons indicated as respectively entitled thereto in the payroll demand pursuant
to which the same was issued, by a payroll check issued to the person and in the amount
indicated on said demand. The acceptance and endorsement of the check by the employee
shall be deemed a receipt in full for all moneys due the employee, as indicated on
the face of the check.
