THE City Council of Bacolod approved a resolution authorizing City Administrator John Orola to be a signatory in all documents and checks of the various accounts in the depository banks under the name of the city government. The resolution was approved during the inaugural session Thursday. The checks will be countersigned by City Treasurer Giovanni Balalilhe. Those who voted for the approval were Councilors Caesar Distrito, Ricardo Tan, Cindy Rojas, Renecito Novero, Em Ang, Wilson Gamboa Jr., Dindo Ramos, and Sonya Verdeflor. Councilor Ann Marie Palermo chose to abstain. Councilors Claudio Puentevella and Noli Villarosa were absent. Distrito said that under the Local Government Code, only the city administrator can sign the check and it will be countersigned by the city treasurer. “The city mayor cannot sign the check because he is the one who approves the voucher,” he said. The City Council also approved the resolution authorizing Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran and Balalilhe to sign checks issued by the City Government drawn against the funds of the SP.
