Approvals for payment may be demanded of appropriate departmental authority when in the opinion of the disbursing officer such approval is required by this Division A or by accepted cash control procedures. Such approval implies in all instances the opinion of the approving authority that the payment is being made for properly authorized purpose, in the correct amount, and to a payee who has a valid claim against the city. The disbursing officer may rely on such approval, except to the extent that he or she is required to exercise normal safeguards against errors in payment.
