Council approves resolution naming finance director and city clerk as authorized users at US Bank
Summary
Sunnyside City Council approved a resolution designating Finance Director Monica Hofstadter and City Clerk Jacqueline Renteria as authorized staff to access and maintain city accounts at US Bank; council debate clarified language change from 'opening' to 'accessing' investment accounts.
The Sunnyside City Council unanimously approved a resolution at its study session to designate Finance Director Monica Hofstadter and City Clerk Jacqueline Renteria as authorized staff to access and maintain accounts and deposits at US Bank.
The council discussed wording changes before the vote. Councilors asked whether the resolution’s language should read “opening an investment account” or “accessing an investment account.” City staff clarified the resolution uses the word “accessing,” which addresses past concerns about inadvertently authorizing new account openings. "Accessing" was confirmed by Hofstadter and the city manager as the intended authority.
Councilor Hart moved the resolution and Councilor Hancock seconded. After brief confirmation that the bank had not objected to the updated wording, the council voted in favor. Council members recorded yea votes from Hancock, Ripley, Fausto, Vasquez, Hart and the deputy mayor; the presiding officer then announced the motion passed.
The resolution authorizes the two named staff to maintain and access US Bank deposit and account records; the action does not, in the meeting record, authorize opening new investment accounts or change other signatory limits outside the scope described in the resolution.
