Caven GUAHANTY FUND Oi ty Treasurer 11 II ,1 3D -' 32.34 47.83 Taxes Assessments Under the head of Introduction of Resolutions the fallowing resolution was introduced: RESOLU1' I 0lf VIHER~,.~S, Section 62 of Chapter 187 of the ~ession Laws of 1937, known as "The 7/ashing- ton State Aid Highway AClt" provides among other things that: "All funds for the construction, alteration, repair, improve- ment and maintenance of the city streets of any incorporated city or town, or for any other proper city street purposes, shall be deposited in and expended from a city street fund and no incorpor- ated city or town shall be entitled to recreive any funds from the motor vehicle fund of thiB state unless and until the governing authorities shall have satisfied the Director of Highways of com- pliance with the provisions of this section". AND WHEqEAS it is the desire and purpose of the City Commission of the City vf Port Angeles to conform to the reg,liiremen tfl of said law in every respect, and IVHEREAS, the DireCltor of Highways of the ~tate of ~ashington in a letter written bv him under date of April <:;3, 1937, to all City Cl~l'ks in the State of ',Iashington, sup,gests, recommends and instructs among other things, as follows: "The enactment of the Vlashington State Aid Highway "ct has made it incum- bent upon the ~irector of Hip,hways to make a number of re~ue6ts of the several inClorporated cities and towns, with special reforence to Sections 64 of Chapter 2, Washington State Aid Highway Act, Chapter 187, Laws of 1927. --M 1?~1 "The creation of the City Street fund, from which all expenditures for the construction, alteration, repair, improvement And maintenance of the city streets must be made, might appear to be a diffiClult task to perform. How- ever, we feel that the desired results may be obtained without causing too great a burden to fall upon you. It is our desire that these sections of the law be complied with by means which will easily produCle efficiency in the accounting of your street expenditures. ".Ie ask your cooperation in this matter and we feel confident that you will be able to do I",hat we ask. You will note frcm the enclosed sections of the law that it is necessary for yuu to expend every street purpose dollar from one fund only, namely, the City Street Fund. It is also necessary that deposit all receipts for proper street purposes in sUClh a fund. J.!any cities and towns bUdget street expenditures in the Current Expense or veneral Eund. Some have a Secondary Highway Fund in addition to the budget items in Current Expense; still others operate a St~eet Fund and ~eClondary Highway Fund both separate from the Current ~xpense 2und. tlHowever your budget is mad e up at the present time it Vii 11 be a simple matter to create a City ~treet Fund and to transfer bUdget items into the new fund. This means that if you have already budgeted ,$7,000 for street purposes in Clurr'ent expense and ~lO,OOO in SeClonclary Highway, you "ill combine the tvlO into a revised budget of ~17,OOO and draw warrants on the vity street Fund to Clover expenditures from both items. "The creation of the "i ty "treet Fund and the neces~ary transfer of budget items should be acnomplished under authority of a resolution or ordinance by your Council or ~ommission. A copy of eaClh document should be filed promptly with the Director of Highways so trat reimbursements to your City will not be delayed. In those municipalities where a City Street Fund is already in operation it will be neClessary to do no more than transfer into this fund any other street items which shall be existent. This transfer' of course must be made by resolution or ordinance. de would appreciate very much your startin~ the City street Fund wi th ~'Iarrant No. 1 for "pril claims." hND WHEREAS, it is the desire and purpose of the City ~ommission of the City of Port Angelcs to fully cooperate in every way with the Director of Highways of the State of Washin~ton with respect tc all of the Matters and thinp's refcrred to in his letter ~nd in said law, NO';I TH;;:HJ:FOHE BE IT R33ULVED BY 'i'HE CITY COI/UoIISSION Of' :rm; CITY 01" POuT A~&KIJl:S that the bUdget of the said City of Port Angeles for the year 1937 be reviseu so as to ~Iclude a fund to be known as the tlCi ty "'traet Fund", in conformi ty with the ll'lw and the letter from the UireCltor of Highways above referred to, and th" t there be transferred to said Ci ty Jt;reet Fund from the current expense fund the sum of ,)47 \263.15 alloClated and budgeted to the ~treet Department, which includes the sum of ",15,Or'0.ro estimated Secondary Hi ~hVlay receipts; Iesro howevClr, the sum of ,,)10,547.55 already expended prior to April 1, 1937, by the Jtreet Department of the City of Port Angeles.
