Each borough president shall enter the names of all persons from whom he or she may receive money for the city, on trust account or otherwise, with the amounts received, on what account, and when paid, in books to be provided for that purpose and kept in the borough president's office, open at all convenient times to public inspection. The borough president shall render a verified account thereof, item by item, to the comptroller, on Thursday of each week, and shall thereupon pay over the amount so received to the director of finance, from whom he or she shall receive duplicate vouchers therefor, one of which the borough president shall file in the office of the comptroller on the same day.
In all cases where provision is made by law that the consent of a borough president shall be obtained to authorize any act to be done, he or she may grant a permit therefor, subject to the restrictions of all laws in relation thereto. Upon granting any such permit, the borough president may exact such cash deposit or bond, or both, as he or she may deem necessary to safeguard the interests of the city.
The president of any borough may enter in the day time upon any lands, tenements, hereditaments and waters which he or she shall deem necessary to be surveyed, used or converted, for the purpose of laying out, surveying and monumenting parks, streets, bridges, tunnels and approaches to bridges and tunnels or marking any boundary line or lines.
