There shall be allowed annually to the Commissioner of Assessments and Licenses, in addition to all salary and allowances otherwise provided by law, the sum of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) on deposit to provide for reimbursement of expenses which may be incurred by his or her division in the performance of official duties and in the furtherance of maintaining the financial integrity of the City. On order of the Commissioner of Assessments and Licenses and the Director of Finance, the Commissioner of Accounts shall draw his or her warrant on the City Treasury, payable to the Commissioner of Assessments and Licenses or other person as the order designates, for the amount as the order requires; the amounts, not exceeding the amount provided by this section, to be paid out of the general fund of the City.
Nothing shall be paid under this section until the Commissioner of Assessments and Licenses has given bond to the City in the amount of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000.00), and the bond shall be conditioned that he or she will faithfully discharge all the duties enjoined on him or her, and pay over all moneys received by him or her in his or her official capacity. The bond shall be deposited with the Commissioner of Accounts. The premium on the bond shall be paid by the City.
The Commissioner of Assessments and Licenses shall annually, on the fifth business day of January, file with the Commissioner of Accounts an itemized statement, verified by him or her as to the manner in which the fund has been expended during the preceding year. Any funds expended during a six (6) month period may be replenished from an account set up for recovery of interest on unpaid admissions and/or parking tax so long as the total amount expended from the fund during any calendar year does not exceed the amount of the bond. If any part of the fund remains unexpended, the funds shall be carried over to the following year and noted on both the current and the following year’s itemized report.
