Hart, Finance Officer <br /> <br />Background: <br />At the request of the Charter Commission, I have reviewed Chapter 7 entitled TAXATION AND <br />FINANCES and am presenting for review by the City Council. <br /> <br />Observations: <br />This chapter generally provides for the tools of good financial management. While this chapter <br />lays the ground work for the financial management, I am recommending a few changes that are <br />reflected on the attached draft. These changes primarily result from my observations, as well as <br />those from Sandra Helling, former Finance Officer and those recommended by the Charter <br />Commission, regarding the financial planning and budget process. <br /> <br />Attached: <br />The attached draft for Chapter 7 contains new language in bold italics and language suggested for <br />deletion so indicated by a strike through. In several areas I have made notes to further describe the <br />changes indicated. These notes will not be contained in the final document - they are for review <br />purposed only. <br /> <br />Charter Commission Recommendation: <br />Present the attached document to City Council for their review - Charter Commission's intentions <br />to recommend Council action after next Commission meeting in December 1993. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br />NONE REQUIRED <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Finance Officer <br />City Administrator <br />Charter Commission <br /> <br />Council: 09/28/93 <br /> <br /> <br />
