N.Y. Second Class Cities Law § 68: Treasurer and deputy treasurer

§ 68. Treasurer and deputy treasurer. The treasurer may appoint, to

hold office during his pleasure, a deputy and such other subordinates as

may be prescribed by the board of estimate and apportionment. In case of

the absence or disability of the treasurer, or of a vacancy in the

office, the deputy shall discharge the duties of the office until the

treasurer returns, his disability ceases or the vacancy is filled. The

treasurer and deputy treasurer, before entering upon the discharge of

the duties of their respective offices, shall each execute and file with

the city clerk, an official undertaking in such penal sum as may be

prescribed by the common council. Such undertaking, when approved as

provided by law, shall have the same force and effect, and shall be

filed and recorded in the office of the county clerk of the county in

which the city is located in the same manner as is required in the case

of an undertaking of a town collector.
