Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: May 24, 2021
Through: Janette Bower, City Manager
From: Sam Hickok, Deputy Finance Director
Agenda Item: Authorization for Banking Signatures
BACKGROUND & JUSTIFICATION:
The Seward City Council is required to pass a resolution listing the individuals authorized to invest
monies and/or sign banking documents on behalf of the City of Seward. The recent onboarding
of the new City Manager as well as the departure of the Finance Director provide the need to
update this authorization. This action forms the basis upon which signature cards will be updated
at the local banking institutions, and checks and City payments and investments will be authorized
on behalf of the City.
While each individual listed on the resolution is authorized to act on behalf of the City, the City's
practice is to have two separate individuals authorize every investment, approve all City payments,
and authorize all electronic banking transactions.
