Summary

To set up a donation account and formal financial controls, the board authorized three named signers for Parks and Recreation checks; staff will supply required minutes and bank paperwork to finalize signatures.

The board considered a staff request to formalize bank signature authority for Parks and Recreation expenditures and an incoming donation. After discussing whether council members or board officers should be the primary signers, commissioners moved to authorize three named individuals for the bank: Elizabeth Ricketts, Jim Prataville and Alden (names provided in the motion). Staff noted the bank requires actual-person names on the account and that changes back to the board would be required if any designees left office.

Commissioners discussed the practicalities of two-signature requirements and the need to update bank records if membership changes. The board approved the motion by voice vote and staff will submit minutes and the approved names to the bank to set up signing authority for parks accounts and a specific donation account tied to a generous donor.
