Commission adds manager and finance director as authorized signatories but keeps elected official signature requirement
Summary
Ordinance No. 2025007 authorizes the town manager and finance director to be signatories for town checks and transfers, while preserving a requirement that at least one elected official sign each check.
The Town Commission on Sept. 24 approved Ordinance No. 2025007 to add the town manager and the finance director as authorized signatories for town checks and fund transfers while preserving the current requirement that at least one elected official sign all issued checks.
Town Attorney described the ordinance as an amendment to Chapter 24, Article 3, Section 24‑102 of the town code, expanding the pool of authorized signatories but retaining an elected official’s signature on issued checks. The ordinance was opened for public comment and none was offered; the commission approved the ordinance by unanimous roll call.
The change formalizes managerial and finance‑office authority to execute routine disbursements and transfers but keeps an elected official in the check‑signing chain, a safeguard the commission said it wished to retain. The ordinance will be codified and take effect per the code’s effective‑date provisions.
No public fiscal figures were presented during the discussion.
