Page 2 of 3 <br />deferred until the next council meeting without loss to the city through forfeiture of discount privileges <br />or otherwise, it may be made immediately if the itemized claim is endorsed for payment by at least a <br />majority of all the members of the council. The claim shall be acted upon formally at the next council <br />`" meeting in the same manner as if it had not been paid, and the earlier payment shall not affect the right <br />of the city or any taxpayer to challenge the validity of the claim. <br />� <br />The League said the bottom line is that we are trying to avoid late payment ar affecting the City's credit. <br />If we need to change our policy to make it clearer, perhaps you could provide me with some different <br />language to present to the Council for future occurrences.

If this payee is missing from any council approved listing, section 1 does <br />not apply. Section 2 does not work as it only applies to claims that are "NOT regular and recurring," which this <br />payment is. <br />Also please give the specific cite from the State Statute you are using to make this payment. If you find one that <br />is specific to this payment, then my question is: why would Nancy ask the Council to "APPROVE" the payment <br />via e-mail if we are not taking an official action? I would have expected only an FYI that this is made under our <br />bond agreement and authorized under MN Statute ### and that it will be affirmed in the next Council packet for <br />approval. (This is not what was done!) <br />The fact that other Council Members "approve" is only pertinent if they are taking official action. <br />Since the payment has been sent, this whole discussion is probably mute. But in addition to the above <br />question, please tell me, which is it: 1) payment allowed by Statute or 2) Payment made pursuant to Council <br />�— action via e-mail? Thanks. <br />12/23/2010 <br />
