A RESOL AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER, OR HIS

COMMISSION AT ITS FIRST MEETING IN SEPTEMBER, 1998.
ADMINISTRA TION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
Between the last meeting in July, 1998, and the first meeting in September, 1998, the City
Commission will not be in session. During this period of time there may be contracts which may need
to be awarded, and which may be in excess of the $10,000 limitation. Additionally, there may be
projects which need timely action. The City Commission has historically, during such periods,
assigned certain powers to the City Manager subject to ratification by the City Commission.
Additionally, any administrative appeals to the City Commission, as provided in Zoning Ordinance
No. 89-2665, would be unable to be held between the last meeting in July, 1998, and the first meeting
in September, 1998. Therefore any required acts relative thereto should be tolled during said period.
It is therefore requested that the City Manager, or his Designee, be authorized to receive and process
any petitions for initiatives and referendums; sign all required contracts, agreements, purchase orders,
and change orders that may affect the health, safety, or welfare of the City; temporarily renew any
existing contracts, for thirty (30) days, if necessary; and, toll all acts relative to administrative appeals

CONCLUSION
Since this authorization is necessary to ensure that essential services and projects continue during the

September, 1998, it is recommended that the City Commission approve this request.
