    §  12-104 Payment of claims of certain employees authorized. The mayor
  is hereby authorized to inquire  into,  hear  and  determine  any  claim
  heretofore  or  hereafter  filed against the city, or any agency, or the
  board of education, by a duly appointed employee or his or  her  estate,

  check paid to such employee for services rendered, notwithstanding a bar
  to the payment of any such claim by limitation of time or otherwise. The
  mayor may, after due consideration, authorize payment of such claim, and
  such claim shall thereupon be paid in such amount  as  the  mayor  shall
  determine  to  be just, in full statisfaction thereof, provided that the
  claimant or his or her estate, shall execute and deliver a release  upon
  receipt  of  such  payment,  in  such  form  as shall be approved by the
  corporation counsel. The allowance in payment of  such  claim  shall  be
