ITEM: 10.B.1 Consider an ordinance amending Section 1.1102 Code of Ordinances,
"Authorized Machine Imprinted Facsimile Signatures." (First Reading)
Currently, the City Code requires all bank drafts to be signed by the Mayor
and countersigned by the City Manager, with the Mayor's signature
permitted to be machine imprinted. This amendment includes the City
Manager's signature as an authorized machine imprinted facsimile. Staff
Resource Person: David Kautz, Finance Director
Automation of the signature imprinting will improve the efficiency of the
disbursement process and appropriate accounting controls are in place to protect the
City against unauthorized disbursement of funds. Additionally, the accounting
controls and automated draft signing process are subject to review by the City's
auditors.
