Authority to Sign Checks.

Milwaukee City Charter § 3-16

in effect

3-16. Authority to Sign Checks. The city treasurer and the city comptroller are hereby authorized to designate some person in their respective departments who shall have authority to sign checks on behalf of the city treasurer and city comptroller, respectively, when the city treasurer or his deputy, or the city comptroller or his deputy may be absent from his office and is unable, therefore, to sign such checks. The city treasurer and the city comptroller shall make such designation in writing, naming the person to whom such authority is delegated and shall file the original of such designation with the city clerk. The designation, so filed, shall be operative until withdrawn by the city treasurer or the city comptroller as the case may be or a new designation is provided. In the event of such designation, the officer making such designation shall be liable for the acts of such designee unless a surety bond in the amount of not less than $50,000 is obtained to save the city harmless from any unauthorized acts of such designee. (S. 1, Ch. Ord. 289, Oct. 30, 1962.)
