A Mayor Gardner announced the purpose of this Special Meeting was for
the approval of Resolution 91-11 designating City Administrator
Dave Johnston as Acting Finance Director/City Treasurer, due to the
*< unexpected death of Bob Cox.
Councilman Woodman moved approval of RS91-11 and Councilman Vincent
seconded the motion.
Councilman Halsey entered the mooting at this time and distributed
to the Council a substitute resolution which he requested City
Clerk Brenda Cirtin to read. Councilman lUalney moved the last
paragraph of US91-11 be amended to rend as .follows:
. . .the signatures for facsimile purposes shall. be Mayor Louise
Gardner and David F. Johnston, but that for hand-pay and
original signature purposes David E. Johnston and Doairee Hale
shall be the signatories with James L. Hartley an the third
` authorized signature, provided that James L. Hartley shall
only act in the absence or incapacity of David E. Johnston or
Desiree Hale.
Councilman Feldman moved approval of the amendment. After a brief
explanation from Councilman Halsey as to the purpose of this
change, Councilman Halsey stated that he had discussed this with
the Missouri Municipal League and this procedure appeared to be the
one most commonly followed. This change could avoid possible
conflicts with City Administrator assuming these duties and this
was the reason for this proposed substitution.
After further discussion as to the need for three signatures and
the responsibilities of those named in this amendment, the
suggestion was made that the original resolution could be amended
to alleviate any potential for conflict of interest and to provide
a temporary solution to the vacancy in the Finance Department.
Councilman Halsey withdrew his motion for substitution and
Councilman Feldman withdrew his second.
Councilman Wrigley moved the final paragraph of RS91-11 be amended
