The Auditor & Controller shall not draw a warrant for the final salary of any officer or person leaving County service who is required by Section 24051 of the Government Code to deliver an inventory, or under authority of Section 34 of the County Charter to file financial reports, until the officer or person has delivered or filed such inventory or financial reports in the prescribed time and manner pursuant to regulations governing their delivery or filing. These regulations shall be in writing and shall be made a part of the County's Administrative Manual.
The Auditor & Controller shall establish procedures to ensure that such officers or persons receive timely notification of the necessity to file said inventories or financial reports and of the penalty provisions of this section. If any officer or person, subject to the provisions of this section, terminates County employment without having delivered or filed required inventory or financial reports, the Auditor & Controller shall immediately notify the officer or person and the Chief Administrative Officer of such fact. Any officer or person to whom notice of failure to deliver or file an inventory or financial report is sent may appeal the Auditor & Controller's determination to the Chief Administrative Officer within 10 days. The Chief Administrative Officer or designee shall investigate the matter and either require the salary to be paid or uphold the Auditor & Controller's determination not to pay the salary until said inventory or financial report is delivered or filed.
