It shall be the duty of the Director of Finance and Administrative Services to call
and pay in numerical order such outstanding warrants against any particular improvement
fund as he or she may be able to pay with the money on hand credited to such fund,
and whenever he or she shall have money on hand to the credit of such fund, but not
sufficient to pay the whole of the next succeeding outstanding warrant, he or she
may call in and pay such portion thereof as shall exhaust the amount of such fund;
provided, however, that the Director of Finance and Administrative Services may call
the warrants issued to the contractor on estimates of the department head supervising
the construction in any local improvement district as soon as the City Council has,
by resolution or ordinance, fixed a date for the issuance of bonds or installment
notes in respect to such local improvement district.
B.
Whenever the Director of Finance and Administrative Services shall pay a portion of
any warrant as above provided, he or she shall endorse upon such warrant the date
and amount of such payment and take a receipt from the holder thereof, showing the
number and description of such warrant and the date and amount so paid, which receipt
the said Director shall record as a voucher for the money so paid.
