   The Treasurer shall not pay, nor shall the Director of Finance issue a voucher for the payment of, any salary or compensation to any person holding, or claiming to hold, an appointive office or a position in the service of the City unless the payroll or account of such salary or compensation shall bear the certificate of the Director of Human Resources that the persons named therein have been appointed or employed and are performing service in accordance with the provisions of this Charter and the civil service rules established thereunder, that their names appear upon the service register for the time for which such salary or compensation is claimed and that the salary or compensation is at the rate indicated on such register. If the Director of Finance shall willingly or negligently approve any payment or issue any warrant in violation of this section, he and the sureties on his bond shall be liable to the City for the amount thereof and action may be brought therefor by any taxpayer for the use of the City without making previous request to the City to sue.
