Mr. Schnelle stated that all City dollars are to be accounted for by State <br />law and it is a serious offense if they are not. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gamec stated that auditors do no look at special assessments now <br />in the City, but Charter wording will require that they do. and raise their <br />bill accordingly. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Bauerkemper and seconded by Commissioner Sieber to <br />amend Section 7.04.01 by adding the following as the final sentence: 'The <br />annual financial statement shall be in such form as State statutes, this <br />Charter or City Council shall determine.' <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairman Heitman, Commissioners Bauerkemper, <br />Data, Sieber, Gamec and Greenberg. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners <br />Buchanan, Lichter and Titterud. <br /> <br />The Commission proceeded to review Accountant Moens concerns with Section 7.11, <br />confusion created in referring to Tax Anticipation Certificates and Certificates <br />of Indebtedness. <br /> <br />Commission consensus is to change the title of Section 7.11 to 'Tax Anticipation <br />Certificates' and in the second line of the section ~eplace reference to <br />'Certificates of Indebtedness' with 'Tax Anticipation Certificates'. <br /> <br />The Commission proceeded to review Accountant Moen's concerns with Section <br />7.07.02, any obligation incurred without authorization being the personal <br />obligation of the person incurring the obligation. <br /> <br />Mr. Schnelle inquired as to what would happen in an emergency situation that <br />ended up being a major cost item. <br /> <br />Commissioner Sieber replied that Section 7.07.01 addresses situations where <br />it is untimely to gain Council approval prior to spending. The purpose <br />of the first sentence in Section 7.07.02 is to make sure no one spends any <br />money that Council has not told them they can spend; the loophole is there. <br />If they do their job with a certain amount of pride and recognize a necessary <br />expense, they can go to City Administrator for direction. <br /> <br />Mr. Darryl Fults inquired what would happen if a police squad car was in <br />need of immediate repair. <br /> <br />Mr. Schnelle replied that the Charter will allow for the expenditure but it <br />will make an employee reluctant to do so without first checking with the <br />Mayor or City Administrator. <br /> <br />Commission consensus is to amend Section 7.07.01 as follows: On page 7-5/5, <br />first line, delete, th~ last word 'shall' and replace with 'and certain other <br />city officials as designated by Council are' . <br /> <br />The Commission recessed at 9:45 p.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Greenberg dismissed himself from the meeting at this time. <br /> <br />Chairman Heitman called the meeting back to order at 10:17 p.m. <br /> <br />CC/February 23, 1984 <br />Page 6 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
