(A) No bill or claim against the town shall be paid unless it shall have been approved by the head of the office, department or agency for which the expense was incurred nor unless it shall have been presented to and approved by the Town Manager, or in the case of his or her disapproval of such bill or claim, by the Town Board. The Town Board shall not approve any bill or claim which has been disallowed by the Town Manager without entering upon the minutes its reason for approving the bill or claim in such detail as may show the reason for reversing the Town Manager’s disallowance.
(B) No bill or claim against the town shall be paid except by means of a warrant or order on the Treasurer or depository, and no warrant or order, except a warrant or order for the payment of maturing bonds, notes or interest coupons thereto appertaining, and except a warrant or order for the payment of any bill or claim approved by the Town Board over the disallowance of the Town Manager as above provided, shall be valid unless it shall bear the signature of the Town Clerk and the Town Manager or a member of the Town Board below a statement which he or she shall cause to be written, printed, stamped or typewritten thereon containing the words:
“Provision for the payment of this warrant (or order) has been made by an appropriation duly made or a bond or note duly authorized, as required by the Municipal Fiscal Control Act.”
(C) Before any warrant for the payment of a bill or claim against the town is paid, all back taxes and other debts due the town by the claimant shall be deducted.
