DATE: March 10, 1993
TO: Chairman Tom Novak and City Charter Commission Members
FROM: Dave Osberg, City Administrator
SUBJECT: City Charter Section 3.07
At the City Charter Commission meeting on January 14,1993 there was discussion regarding
Section 3.07 as it relates to adoption of a Resolution by the City Council establishing a
Contingency Expense Fund for the Mayor. T informed the City Charter Commission that
procedurally, the Contingency Expense Fund for the Mayor position is established each year
as a part of the annual budget setting process, and as such is included in the entire
Resolution adopting the full budget.
As a result, Y would suggest that the second sentence in Section 3.07 be amended to read
as follows:
"In addition, the Mayor shall also have placed at his or her disposal, a Contingency Expense
Fund in an amount to be established by the City as a part of the annual budget adoption
1]rOCeSS.°
This should clarify that the actual line item for the Mayor's Contingency Expense Fund is
established each year as a part of the budget process, and is not established separately by
Resolution each year. ~ w
