Article 1.--GENERAL PROVISIONS

     
12-171.   Petty cash funds; establishment, records and reports;
restoration of moneys in fund; use; bond of responsible employees.

The governing body of any city may, by resolution, authorize one or more
petty cash funds to be established and maintained in the central business
office of said city by a person designated by such resolution. The official
or employee designated in such resolution receiving such funds shall keep a
record of all receipts and expenditures from the fund, and shall, from time
to time, and at the end of each city fiscal year, prepare a statement for
the governing body showing all receipts, expenditures, and the balance in
such petty cash fund. The petty cash fund shall be replenished by payment
from the appropriate funds of the city to the petty cash fund upon proper
claim. If the governing body is satisfied with the report, it may restore
the fund to the original amount. The fund shall be kept separate from all
other funds and be used only for authorized expenditures and itemized
receipts shall be taken for each expenditure. No part of such fund may be
loaned or advanced against the salary of any employee. All such employees
entrusted with funds under this statute shall be bonded by the city.
