CC 2019-01-22_08c Deposit of City Funds in Various Financial InstitutionsMEMORANDUM TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: NICOLE VALENTINE, INTERIM DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE DEPOSIT OF CITY FUNDS IN VARIOUS FINANICAL INSTITUTIONS DATE: JANUARY 22, 2019 SUMMARY OF ACTION: Authorizing designated employees to deposit City funds in various financial institutions. IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES: There are no significant financial or personnel resource impacts to updating the Resolution. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended the City Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the deposit of City funds in various financial intuitions and updating the names of designated employees in certain positions authorized to enter into banking or investment arrangements. BACKGROUND: In 2010, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4291 which authorized the deposit of City funds in various financial institutions and authorized certain employees to act on behalf of the City in banking or investment relationships. Since that time, the Resolution has been updated as position titles and banking regulations have changed. ANALYSIS OF ISSUES: Regulations for the banking industry require that the City’s Resolution include the names of the employees currently serving in the position, rather than just the titles. This will necessitate a more frequent updating of the Resolution as staffing changes occur; however, it is unlikely to be a significant impact to the City. The proposed Resolution includes an update to the name of the Interim Director of Administrative Services. No other changes are proposed at this time.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: No environmental review is required for this item.
