Council tables dock‑fee authority and credit‑card policy, approves limited office equipment purchase
Summary
Council tabled a draft resolution to empower the Parks committee with dock‑fee budgeting pending clarified language, asked staff to draft a city credit‑card policy, and authorized up to $800 for two large monitors, one adjustable desk and a two‑drawer filing cabinet while deferring a desktop computer pending a technology review.
Council discussed several administrative items affecting how Parks and city staff manage small projects and finance tools. Members supported increased transparency for dock fee spending but said the current draft resolution lacked the mechanics the council wanted and agreed to table it so staff and Parks representatives could fill in details. Kathy (Parks liaison) said the intent is to let Parks prepare a plan for how dock‑fee revenue would be spent while maintaining Council oversight.
On the question of a city credit card, council members agreed they want a single written policy (including the treasurer's role and state‑auditor guidance) before issuing cards; staff were directed to draft a policy and return it for approval.
Council approved one technology/equipment purchase at a modest cap: Resolution 2025‑D20 authorizes purchase of two large monitors, one adjustable sit/stand desk and a two‑drawer filing cabinet up to $800. Members agreed to defer buying a desktop computer pending an inventory and a short technology review to confirm what existing laptops/docking options can do for staff.
Other items on the consent agenda were approved as amended, and council scheduled a March 31 workshop to review communications strategy and the city administrator job posting, informed by a resident survey of 104 responses.
