CORRESPONDENCE: Finance/Bonds Mayor Gonzales referred to a memorandum from the City Treasurer, and attached correspondence, regarding her recommendation to purchase ten bonds, available to the City at a substantial discount, on the City of Colton Improvement Bond, Assessment District No. 76-1. The purchase price is $8,225. Mayor Gonzales stated that Mrs. Berkebile's memorandum also stated she would like to be able to inform Mr. Doyle, of Stone & Youngberg, that the City will purchase these bonds, by Wednesday, February 20, in order to obtain them be- fore they can be sold elsewhere. Mayor Gonzales concluded these memorandums had been sent to the Acting Finance Director, Ruby Andengaard, with copies to the Mayor and City Manager. City Manager Gonzales stated it has been the practice of the City in the past that matters of this nature are to be brought to the Finance Director, and the Finance Director in turn discusses this with the City Manager, a decision is made administratively as to whether to purchase the bonds or not. Mrs. Berkebile stated this matter was brought to the attention of the Acting Finance Director by memorandums dated February 15 and 19, with copies to the City Manager and Mayor. Mrs. Berkebile advised that she had just received Mr. Doyle's letter today. City Manager Gonzales responded then what is this doing here tonight in front of the Council, Mrs. Berkebile. Mrs. Berkebile stated she has merely made a recommendation on the purchase of bonds to the City Council, at a substantial savings to the City. Mrs. Berkebile said if the City Council does not wish to act on this matter, that is up to them, however, she felt she should bring this matter to their attention for considera- tion. Councilwoman Cisneros moved that this matter be referred back to Staff for review and recommendation to the City Council. Councilman Hayes seconded the motion. 1 1980
