>>> Eddie Martin 02/05/04 11:44AM >>>I needed to talk to Herb about this issue. He had sent a memo to Mike about this issue in 2001 but since
that time a couple of things have happened that might have changed Herb's opinion. I talked to Herb andalthough there are some concerns he believes that the conclusions of his memo are still applicable. In
order to do the authority the City Manager would just need to write a letter authorizing Janet to sign forthese specific type of contracts. Mike has done this with Tom Shaw on purchasing and previously withDave Hill as to Development contracts. Janet will be signing for the City Manager so no change is
required in the contract. I am attaching a sample wording that you can send to Ann at CMO if needed. Ifyou have any questions please let me know. Thanks!
>>> Amanda Green 02/05/04 10:37AM >>>
Eddie... we have several contracts waiting to go to you, is there anything I can do to facilitate thisauthorization?
>>> Amanda Green 01/27/04 1 1:39AM >>>Eddie
What do I need to do to facilitate authorizing Janet Simpson to sign off on independent contractors in lieuof the City Manager?
>>> Janet Simpson 01/26/04 04:39PM >>>Please work with Legal on this. The City Manager would prefer to designate me to sign the 4-waycontracts

Re: Contracts
Ann this looks fine and the only suggestion is that the memo should also be addressed to Janet Simpsonand Jennifer Walters. Thanks!
>>> Ann Forsythe 02/06/04 10:44AM >>>Amanda and Eddie.
See attached. Unless you have changes or concerns, I will have Mike sign this on Monday, the effectivedate in the memo, and will send you a copy for your files. The memo will be printed on letterhead.
