Any advance, or any portion thereof, which has not been accounted for or repaid in compliance with Section 3.12.290 shall be deemed in default and shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent per year from the date of default until paid. No advance shall be made to any employee or official while he is delinquent in accounting for or repaying any prior advance, and to protect the city from any losses on account of advances made hereunder, the city shall have a prior lien against and a right to withhold any and all funds payable or to become payable by the city to the officer or employee up to the amount of the advance plus interest at the rate of ten percent per year. If this delinquent accounting exceeds thirty days, the amount owing the city will be withheld from the employee's next regular payroll check. (Ord. M-1390 §6, 1973)
