§ 74. City treasurer generally.

The city treasurer shall be elected at the time, in the manner and for the term provided in section 23 of this Charter. He shall give bond in such sum not less than one hundred thousand dollars, as the council may prescribe, with surety to be approved by the council, conditioned for the faithful discharge of his official duties in relation to the revenue of the city, and of such other official duties as may be imposed upon him by this Charter and the ordinances of the city. Subject to the supervision of the city manager, he shall collect and receive all city taxes, levies, assessments, license taxes, rents, water rents, fees and all other revenues or moneys accruing to the city, and for that purpose shall be vested with any and all powers which are now or may hereafter be vested in such city treasurer as collector of state taxes. He shall be the custodian of all public money of the city, and of all other money coming into his hands as city treasurer. The city treasurer shall keep and preserve such moneys in such banks or trust companies as may be determined by ordinance or by the provisions of any law applicable thereto. When city moneys have been deposited in such banks or trust companies as designated by ordinance, the city treasurer shall not be liable for any loss sustained as to funds of the city so deposited. It shall be the duty of said city treasurer to conduct all of the proceedings and render all services necessary to perfect the sale and transfer of real estate in said city where the same shall be sold or advertised for sale for the nonpayment of any taxes or assessments imposed by the council. He shall perform such other duties, have such powers and be liable to such penalties as are now or may hereafter be prescribed by law or ordinance.
