1. That §§ 21 and 27 of Chapter 721 of the Acts of Assembly of 1976 are amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 21. Penalty for ordinance violations.
Where, by provisions of this charter, or by general law, the council has
authority to pass ordinances on any subject that may prescribe a penalty, such
penalty for a violation thereof shall not exceed those any
provided for in general law; provided, however, that such penalty shall
not exceed the penalty authorized in general law for a like offense for
a like offense. Such penalties may be prosecuted and recovered with costs
in the name of the City of Manassas.
§ 27. Specific duties of treasurer.
The city treasurer shall be charged with receiving and paying out of all monies
of the city. He shall hold such monies and/or place same in such depositories
as the council may by resolution direct, and he shall pay out such monies under
such conditions and in such manner as the council may by resolution direct. The
city treasurer shall keep the monies of the city in the name of the city. He
shall keep books showing accurately all receipts and disbursements and separate
records for the several funds or accounts of the city as may be prescribed by
the council from time to time. His books shall be open at all reasonable times
for inspection as required by law. The city treasurer is specifically charged
with the preparation and delivery of all bills for tax levies and license taxes
due the city and the prompt collection of such taxes. Should any tax or taxes
become delinquent, the city treasurer shall promptly proceed to collect the
same in such manner as prescribed by ordinance or law. The city treasurer shall
furnish, in addition to any bond required of him by the Commonwealth of
Virginia, a bond payable to the City of Manassas in such amount as the council
may prescribe and conditioned upon the faithful and true performance of all the
duties placed upon the city treasurer by this charter. The city treasurer
shall immediately deliver all such monies, records and other property in his
possession to his duly appointed or elected successor and the bonds as herein
provided shall remain in full force and effect until such monies, records and
property have been so transferred and accounted for. He [
shall may ] perform such other duties as may be
required by the council.
2. That § 45 [ as amended ] of Chapter 721 of the Acts of Assembly
of 1976 is repealed.
