MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Dave Osberg, City Administrator
DATE: July 30, 1998
SUBJECT: 1st Reading and Schedule Public Hearing-Ordinance Amending
City Charter Chapter V TAXATION AND FINANCE
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
It is recommended that the City Council take action approving the enclosed
OrdinanceAmending City ChArter Chapter V TAXATIONAND FINANCE and schedule
a public hearing for Monday August 17, 1998.
BACICGROUND
Staff has attached two similar documents for review by the City Council. The first
document is a Resolution adopted by the Charter Commission at its meeting on July
23, 1998, malting various changes in the City Charter Chapter V Taxation and
Finance. The second document is a the proposed ordinance for City Council
consideration that implements the proposed changes in Chapter V as recommended
by the Charter Commission. The Charter Commission is recommending that the
changes in the Charter be completed by Ordinance. All seven City Councilmembers
must vote in favor of the proposed Ordinance, at bath of the two readings.
Many of the changes in the Charter are housekeeping in nature, as they are changes
that reflect new State Law, eliminate references to the Budget Official and better
define the budget process. Staff has included the "strike out" version, so the City
Council is aware of the items that are proposed for deletion from the Ordinance.
Those sections with underlining, are proposed additions to the City Charter. The
changes are a culmination of suggestions from Finance Director Lori Webster, City
Attorney Shawn Moynihan and myself, and were approved by the entire Charter
Commission at its meeting on July 23, 1998.
