RE: Consider Resolution 93- , Authorizing the
Issuance and Countersigning of Warrants Pursuant
to Chapter 3.12 of the Municipal Code.
Background
The City of Moorpark's authority for approving warrants is
contained in Chapter 3.12 of the Municipal Code entitled
"Claims Against the City ". Section 3.12.040 "Warrant -
Issuance", states that "Whenever a demand is approved as
provided in this chapter, the City Manager or in his
absence, the Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem, shall draw and sign a
warrant ". Section 3.12.050 "Warrant- Countersigning ", states
"Any warrant drawn and signed by the City Manager, Mayor or
Mayor Pro Tem as provided in this chapter, must be counter-
signed by the City Treasurer or the City Treasurer's
designee.
The practice of the City has been more restrictive than the
Municipal Code. It is the intent of this resolution to
document the practice and establish the approval limits for
the City Manager. The resolution classifies warrants into
two types of warrants (i.e. payroll and demand warrants.)
In the latter case, it is recommended that the warrant
always be issued by an elected official.
In the absence of the City Treasurer, the City Manager is
designated to countersign the signature of the Mayor or
Mayor Pro Tem.
Staff Recommendation
Approve Resolution 93- , establishing procedures for the
issuance and countersigning of warrants.
