Amend Council Policy 2-2: City Council District Funds 

Purpose:

For the Council to consider adoption of an amended Council Policy 2-2 (CP 2-2), City Council District Funds.
Background/Summary:

The City develops Council Policies to provide consistent guidelines and standards for addressing specific activities. City staff recently reviewed this policy in detail and are recommending amendments to the policy. 

 

Highlights of the Council Policy 2-2 amendments are as follows:

 

1) Minor clarification that District Funds may be used for travel expenditures for Council Assistants.
