Marty Subject: Re: Karen Marty September Invoice That would seem the most appropriate action at this point. But why wouldn't the city state that rather than the letter you submitted to me. I submit that the invoices be paid up to the amount available for 2014 and any remaining balance be paid January 2015 upon the renewal of the annual budget. It's too bad someone couldn't just pick up a phone and contact me to come up with a practical solution.

The City has no obligation to pay for expenses that exceed the budgeted amount. The Charter Commission is solely responsible for its debt. I suggest you ask Ms. Marty if she can wait until after January 1st for payment of the remaining balance, which can be paid from the Commission's 2015 budget.

Marty Subject: Re: Karen Marty September Invoice Jeff, The Commission has no budget or funds outside of the City general fund, the "henceforth, the Commission is responsible for the unpaid balance" is simply restating that the City is responsible for the unpaid balance. The city is responsible for all payments for debt incurred by the Commission. The city holds the budget, the city is responsible. We will be in contact with Karen Marty and revisit the invoice she submitted given that we provided strict parameters around the budget amount we were provided by the City. Packet Page 18 of 25
