Council discusses CD renewals, bank access and possible legal budget amendment
Summary
Council discussed renewing CD 0693, whether the city secretary has authority to check bank transactions, and broadening the legal budget to cover potential future expenses; procedural rules for bringing a defeated motion as new business were referenced.
The council discussed renewing certificate(s) of deposit (including CD 0693) and whether the city secretary has access to bank accounts to handle renewals or inquiries.
A council member asked if secretaries in other jurisdictions have bank access to consult with banks; members noted access can be limited and that the council typically oversees financial transactions. One member pointed out Robert's Rules allow a defeated motion to be brought up later as new business, so a renewal defeated previously could be placed on a future agenda as a new motion.
Separately the council discussed amending the budget to allow for possible increased legal expenses and asked staff to identify likely amounts and funding sources for any necessary expansion of the legal budget.
