The City Manager shall make provisions for receiving and safekeeping found property and money delivered to the City Manager and coming into the City Manager’s possession in the course of municipal operations. A receipt shall be issued to the person delivering the property or money to the city. The property must be stored in a safe place and the money deposited with the Director of Finance in a special account for found money for a period of six months unless claimed by the true owner. It will then be subject to disposal as unclaimed property or money.
