Grants Pass council approves consent items, committee appointments and designates budget officers for city and URA
Summary
The council approved the consent calendar, designated the city manager as budget officer for the city (annual designation per charter), appointed arts-committee members and approved a URA resolution naming the city manager as the URA budget officer; all motions passed unanimously.
The Grants Pass City Council approved routine consent calendar items, made committee appointments and adopted a resolution designating the city manager as budget officer for the Urban Renewal Agency.
Staff highlighted an annual, auditor-recommended recognition that the governing body designate a budget officer to prepare and supervise the budget; staff said the city charter assigns that responsibility to the city manager but allows delegation to the finance director if needed. Council discussed the role and affirmed continuing the annual designation as part of the fiscal-year process.
On committee appointments, council approved five recommended Arts Committee candidates by motion (Judith Basker, Robin Forbes, Amy Keller, Calvin Kennedy and Eva Shaw) and later appointed Daniel Edwards to another opening after nomination and roll call. The Urban Renewal Agency also approved a resolution designating the city manager as URA budget officer by unanimous vote.
Ending: Consent items, committee appointments and the URA resolution were approved without controversy and the meeting adjourned to URA business and then to an executive session.
