§ 3.04.090. Claims
All claims against the funds of the city, including payroll checks, shall be audited by the finance director. Payroll checks may be approved by the finance director if they conform to a budget approved by ordinance or resolution of the city council and funds are available in the city treasury for payment of said claims.
All other claims shall also be audited by the city council prior to payment, or may, with the prior consent of the council, be presented to the city council by the finance director for review following payment and may thereafter be ratified and approved by the city council in connection with the city council's acceptance and approval of an audited comprehensive annual financial report for the city.
