Home My WebLink AboutAdmin Order 44-26-01 -- Delegating Payment AuthorityADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 44-26-01 of the Finance Officer of the City of Eugene DELEGATING PAYMENT AUTHORITY TO DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL; REPEALING ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 44-25-04; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. The Finance Officer of the City of Eugene finds that: A. Under provisions of the Eugene Charter of 2002 the City Manager is authorized to make all purchases, appoint and remove all employees, act as business agent for the Council, and to perform such other duties as the Council directs. B. Section 2.525 of the Eugene Code, 1971, requires that checks and electronic or other types of payments or transfers shall be signed or authorized by the City Manager or the City Manager's designee. This section also authorizes the Finance Officer to issue checks and cause payments to be made to pay City bills and claims, including salaries of City officers and employees. C. On February 22, 2005, the City Manager issued Administrative Order No. 21- 05-01 establishing policies and procedures for payment of City bills and claims and delegating authority to authorize payments in the form of checks or electronic or other types of payments or transfers to the Finance Officer subject to the requirements and limitations contained in Administrative Order No. 21-05-01. That Order also specifically authorized the Finance Officer to sub -delegate payment authority to City department personnel. D. On June 22, 2018, the City Manager issued Administrative Order 21-18-04 appointing me as the City's Finance Officer and City Treasurer and authorizing me to delegate to qualified persons any of my duties and responsibilities granted by that Order. E. On November 20, 2025, I issued Administrative Order No. 44-25-04 sub - delegating authority to make electronic or other types of payments or transfers to department personnel as designated in that Order. Changes in personnel now require that the delegations in that administrative order be updated. Based on the above findings, the Finance Officer of the City of Eugene orders that: 1. Administrative Order No. 44-25-04 is repealed, as of the effective date of this Order. 2. As of the effective date of this Order, the following individuals are delegated the authority to authorize payments in the form of checks and electronic or other types of payments or transfers of the type, purpose, and up to the amounts indicated opposite each (excluding Administrative Order -- Page 1 of 4 checks written from one City bank account for payment to another City bank account). If needed, I may temporarily override these limits, upon request from the department personnel and with sufficient documentation to determine the need for such an override.
