Appendix 46. Certification of Compensation.

No compensation shall be paid without certification by the City Manager, or such officer as the City Manager may direct, that the recipients are employed by the City and that their rates of compensation comply with the pay schedule provided for in Section 44. If such officer approves payments not in conformity therewith, the officer and the officer's surety shall be liable for the amount of such payments. A taxpayer may maintain a civil action to restrain payment of compensation to persons unlawfully appointed or employed or to recover for the City any sums paid contrary to the provisions of this Charter.
