Citation: Jacksonville, FL Code of Ordinances § 110.102.
Section: 110.102.
Funds received for the use of the City by persons other than the Treasurer or the Tax Collector are City funds, and are a part of the City Treasury, as soon as such persons receive the funds, regardless of whether the funds are paid over to or deposited with the Treasurer or Tax Collector immediately or not, and such persons shall be liable to the City for the entire amount of the funds so received by them and held in their custody. All persons charged by law with the safekeeping, transfer and disbursement of City funds are required to keep an accurate record of each sum received and of each payment or transfer. Every person who has City funds in his hands or possession shall pay them to the Treasurer or the Tax Collector without delay and in all cases within 30 days of their receipt. When the funds are paid over to or deposited with the Treasurer or Tax Collector, the person so paying over to or depositing the funds shall obtain a receipt therefor and shall keep this receipt in his records as a credit in the amount of the receipt against the amount owed by him to the City.
