APPROVAL OF VOUCHERS

for payment.
POLICY AND PROCEDURES MANUAL CONTRACT
Personnel Director Olson handed out back up information regarding the updating of the Policy and
Procedures Manual and requested Assistant City Attorney Williamson to outline the process to date.
Assistant City Attorney Williamson explained that the City is currently updating the City Codes. The
code revisor has noted that a number of items in the code are more appropriately placed in the
policy manual. The consultant revising the code, Municipal Code Corporation, has submitted a
proposal to update the policy and procedures manual including legal and conflict analysis and a
review of federal and state mandates for omissions from the manual.
The City Attorneys office is requesting the Council's consideration for this item in the 1991 budget.
The amount requested was $10,000 which would be sufficient to allow for any contingencies.
Assistant City Attorney Williamson noted that it would be cost effective for the current consultant
to contract this additional update due to their familiarity with the City Codes now being updated.
Finance Director McCarthy concurred, noting that it seemed most logical to incorporate it into an
ending phase of the recodification and the need for an update to the Policy and Procedures Manual
had been previously identified.
Councilman Mann moved that the item be considered for the 1991 budget with a cap of$10,000.
The motion passed with a vote of 2-0 to be placed on the Consent Calendar of the next City Council
meeting.
ORDINANCE FOR LID INTERFUND LOAN
Finance Director McCarthy asked the Committee to recommend to Council an authorization for an
interfund loan resolution to meet federal arbitrage requirements for LIVs. After outlining the
history of past practices, he explained that this resolution would also cover LIT? #'s 329, 331, 333
and 335 which were previously approved by Council and all future LID's. Councilman Mann asked
if the resolution met with McCarthy's approval. 'Finance Director McCarthy noted that the
predetermined date language had been modified to meet his concern of unforeseen delays and he
recommended approval.
It was moved and seconded that the item be put on the Consent Calendar. The motion passed with
a vote of 2-0.
