(a) The mayor shall sign all warrants drawn upon the treasurer; and warrants shall be countersigned by the comptroller. Each warrant shall state the particular fund or appropriation to which the same is chargeable and the person to whom payable. No money shall be paid otherwise than upon warrants so drawn, except as provided otherwise in subsection (b).
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Code to the contrary, whenever the payment of city funds is required or authorized by warrant drawn upon the treasurer, signed by the mayor and countersigned by the comptroller, such payment instead may be made by an electronic funds transfer or by a check that is drawn upon the appropriate city depository. The check shall be signed by the mayor and countersigned by the comptroller.
