All claims (other than claims for personal injury, death, property damage, or indemnification) shall be processed through the finance director, regardless with whom the claims may have been filed in the first instance. After processing and payment of claims, the finance director shall submit to the city council and city manager a listing of all claims paid during the previous month. At the time of presenting the list of paid claims to the council, the finance director shall certify that each paid claim was audited to determine that:
A. The using office, department, agency, or other authorized person has approved the claim for payment and either (1) has received that for which the claim was presented for payment, or (2) is authorized to request advance payment for goods or services, such as subscription charges, conference registration fees, or billings for travel on commercial carriers, as determined by council resolution;
B. Sufficient funds have been appropriated for the purpose of the claim and were available at the time of issuance of payment; and
C. The amount claimed and the fund from which the claim was paid were correct.
