42

as the Vice President, but the rest of the officer appointments were left blank. 46
47
Vice President Stigney asked whether there could be a non-voting member as treasurer. 48
49
Executive Director Ericson indicated that the Authority does not have its own funds or sign 50
checks so a treasurer’s bond is not needed. This is consistent with the statutes and the Authority 51
is not responsible for any funds, because the City has all of the funds. 52
53
Vice President Stigney indicated that a treasurer’s bond must be obtained. He then asked 54
whether a bond must be obtained for whoever is named as treasurer. 55
56
Vice President Stigney indicated that the President and the Treasurer must sign Authority checks. 57
58
Vice President Stigney said that compensation reimbursement is required for attending meetings, 59
and he would like to review this further. 60
61
Attorney Riggs indicated that by-laws are not required, as the Authority can operate by statute. 62
63
Attorney Riggs indicated that the by-laws reflect the exact language of the statute. 64
65
The Authority and Staff discussed having the City’s Finance Director serve as the Treasurer. 66
67
Vice President Stigney indicated that he would like to have the Attorney look further into the 68
Treasurer position. 69
70
Attorney Riggs clarified that the League says that a Treasurer and a Bond is required, so does the 71
statute. He then said that the five member board must match the statute requirements, but Staff 72
can serve as an Assistant Treasurer. 73
74
Commissioner Mueller said that she is concerned about the majority vote that does not list who 75
votes, and whether the Treasurer or Executive Director has a vote. 76
77
Executive Director Ericson asked for action on the Resolution, as the time allowed for the 78
meeting had run out. 79
80
President Marty indicated that he would like to hold off on the Resolution until further edits are 81
made. 82
83
Attorney Riggs agreed and said that the officers are in place from last year until there is a change 84
by Resolution. 85
86
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Mueller. To Postpone For Further Information. 87
