City Treasurer Mae Harris introduced Jack P. VanLeuven, repre-
senting Rainier Bank, who is acting as Fiscal Agent for the
State of Washington. Mr. Van Leuven explained the duties of
his bank as Fiscal Agent. He stated the bank would act as the
City's representative in the payment of interest and principal
due on outstanding bond obligations; they would be responsible
to the City for a complete and accurate accounting of funds
received and disbursed. Bonds and coupons can be returned
to the Treasurer each month, along with a detailed statement
of each bond issue. Mr. VanLeuven stated that the advantages
of using the bank as a Fiscal Agent would save time and money.
Payments for bond issues are at central locations in Seattle
and New York, making your bond issues more appealing to inves-
tors because of the convenience of presentment and reduction
of mailing costs. He added that many general clerical duties
in the Treasurer's office will be decreased or eliminated.
City Treasurer Mae Harris stated that the State Auditor had
recommended the use of the Fiscal Agency as a means of simplify-
ing the work in her office. Council President Traynor asked if
there would be any cost to the City and Mr. VanLeuven stated
there would not be any charge for this service. Council Presi-
dent Traynor instructed City Treasurer Mae Harris to draw up
a resolution authorizing the City to use a Fiscal Agent for
presentation at the City Council Meeting on September 2, 1975.
Council President Traynor stated that the chainsaw is needed
for the Park Department as the old one has worn out. Council-
man Johanson stated it was his understanding that the money was
available in the budget for this purchase. Council President
Traynor requested this item be on the agenda for the next
City Council Meeting.
