Staff recommends trimming bank signatories to mayor, treasurer and assistant treasurer in Resolution 19‑25
Summary
City Treasurer Darla Hopkins told council staff propose updating Resolution 19‑25 to reflect a staff change and reduce authorized check signers from four to three — the mayor, the treasurer and the assistant treasurer — while maintaining account viewing access for finance staff.
City Treasurer Darla Hopkins presented Resolution 19‑25 at the July 14 study session to update authorized bank signatories following a staffing change.
Hopkins said the city lost a staff accountant in April and that finance staff will retain view access to accounts for daily functions. "We feel that there was really no need to have a fourth person to sign on the checks," she said, and recommended reducing signatories to the mayor, the treasurer and the assistant treasurer.
A council member asked a lighthearted procedural question about signers traveling together; Hopkins confirmed the proposed signatory list would be limited to those three officials. No formal action or vote was recorded in the study session transcript.
Ending: Staff will return the resolution for formal consideration at a future meeting; no policy change took effect during the study session.
