EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
xw
In 1993, the City Council adopted Ordinance 70, specifyrtg the circumstances under which
the City Manager is authorized to execute intergov eri ail agreements. The purpose of this
Ordinance is to codify the provisions,- rdinance N0. - 3.
BACKGROUND:
Article II, Section16 of the City Charter authorizes t uncil iW, 'y ordinance or resolution, enter
into contracts with other gornmental bodies to furnts governmental services and make charges
for such services,or enter' Wtooperative or joint act"' with other governmental bodies. The
authority to enteanto suche overnmental agreements is also established in the Colorado state
41
statutes. Certain m`tergovernxn tal.agreements executed by the City are sufficiently routine in
nature that, in 1993, the City Cotmc*Iado ted ordnance authorizing the City Manager or his or
her des gnee to execute such rou ine ements without the necessity of Council review and
approval on a case-by-case basis. This ordinance has been regularly used since that date to
diffe e tiate the kinds of intergovI emmental agreements that need specific Council approval and
thos'' 't1at can be executed by the City Manager. Because the City Charter also calls for the
codiftcation of all permanent ordinances of the City, the City Attorney is recommending that the
provisions of Ordinance No, 7,&h 993, be made a part of the City Code. This Ordinance would
accomphshtiat by establishii a new Section 1-19 of the Code.
