<br /> MEMO ATTACHED TO . <br /> 1"1' 9 r"r- AGENDA <br /> October 3, 1985 ' t..-)- -I; <br /> To: Ci ty Council PASSED BY CIT'{ COUNCIL <br /> war~~~Wong, Finance Director ON e- <br /> From: ORDH~ANCE NO. I <br /> I <br /> (CITY MGR'S OFnCE) , <br /> Subject: Compromise and Settlement of Claims <br /> The attached ordinance provides for delegation of expressed authority to the <br /> City Manager (Finance Officer) to compromise claims due the City. Staff and <br /> the City Attorney have previously assumed that the City Manager, as the City's <br /> Business Agent, had authority to compromise claims due the City. Based on <br /> the recent issue concerning the Interest on Usegregated Taxes due the City <br /> from Lane County, the City Attorney has recommended that this authority be <br /> formalized. Further, this expressed authority will reduce the personal <br /> liability risk to Councilors. <br /> Staff will continue to pursue all claims due the City within a reasonable <br /> expenditure of resources, materiality limits and return on effort. You will <br /> note that in situations where the claim is supported by a lien against real <br /> property, such as in the case of a Bancroft Assessment, we will not compromise <br /> the claim since it will ultimately be paid by either collection or foreclosure <br /> and subsequent resale. <br /> cc: M.
