Status of Legislative Policy Division submitting resos. autho. Revision of Emergency Manager Orders. (The Legislative Policy Division (LPD) was requested by Council Member Castaneda-Lopez to provide draft resolutions revising Emergency Manager Orders No. 38 and 41. The attached proposed resolutions restore some authority to City Council with respect to writing off certain City debt and approval contracts, as well as restoration of City Council’s confirmation authority over the Mayor’s appointment of the Director of the Housing and Revitalization Department - an offshoot of the Planning and Development Department. LPD has provided two alternative resolutions with respect to EM Order 41 - both address accounts receivable and one includes specific restoration of contract approval. Note that Chief Financial Officer John Hill issued two letters to City Council in December 2015 indicating his willingness to follow City policies with respect to accounts receivable write-offs, as well as City procurement practices.)
