• • • COUNCIL MINUTES September 14, 2009 DRAFT 89 At the request of the council, Finance Director Rolek explained that the amount presented is 90 beyond the approximate $20.00 remaining in the commission's 2009 budget. If the council 91 wishes to authorize payment of the $107.30, that should be done by increasing (amending) the 92 budget by resolution. 93 94 At the request of the council, City Attorney Langel confirmed that, based on the information 95 presented, this would be an acceptable expense under state statute. He suggested that it would 96 be good to get an assurance from the commission that the 2009 budgeted funds that have already 97 been expended by the commission were also in that acceptable area. 98 99 A council member recommended that the future discussions on the charter budget include a 100 clear process on identifying acceptable expenses before they are incurred or are paid. 101 102 Charter Commissioner Storberg, 6978 Lake Drive, noted that the commission incurred some of 103 their expenses due to the audit that was initiated by the city. She asked if there is a precedent 104 on paying that type of expense. 105 106 City Attorney Langel responded that he does not believe that the statute allows the city to pay 107 for that type of expense (responding to an audit). 108 109 Council Member Reinert moved to amend the 2009 budget to provide for payment of $107.30 to 110 Charter Commissioner Attorney Karen Marty. Council Member Gallup seconded the motion. 111 Motion carried. 112 113 3B.
