..., pb/ i� � <br />comments are not meant to pretend that this does not happen. This situation, however, does not cause problems and <br />is accepted as common behavior. <br />Rule 17. Travel. As we pointed out in our comments to proposed Rule 15, city staff are bound by the overall and <br />departmental budget limits. Authorizing out-of-state travel by city staff is properly within the authority and purview <br />of the city manager. The city council should respect that fact. <br />In summary, we emphasize that until there is a convincing showing that the current rules and procedures are <br />outdated, inadequate, outmoded and/or unworkable, they should not be discarded. As to the proposed rules, we are <br />struck by their bold and reckless grant of unchecked power and authority to the office of mayor. If adopted, they <br />will alter our present system in ways no one could have imagined, much less asked for. The proposed rules are <br />unprecedented in breadth and scope. As such they deserve careful review by the city council, city manager, the city <br />attorney and the citizens of Roseville. <br />Respectfully submitted: <br />William Schrenker, Pres. <br />Copies to: <br />City Manager; <br />City Council Members; and <br />Other interested parties. <br />� <br />Dated: December 31, 2001. <br />
