These duties are: To receive and safely keep all money coming into the Treasury (Gov. Code Section 41101); to comply with all laws governing the depositing and securing of public funds (Gov. Code Section 41002); to pay money only on warrants signed by legally designated persons (Gov. Code 41003); and submit a monthly written report and accounting of receipts, perform any duty, transaction, etc. as deemed necessary by the City Council.
