Background The Family YMCA of the Desert ("YMCA") has a Management & Operations Agreement ("Agreement") with the City of Palm Desert ("City") to oversee the Palm Desert Aquatic Center. Pursuant to that Agreement, YMCA has established a checking account at FirstBank for Aquatic Center operations. The Agreement stipulates that two signatures (one YMCA and one City) are required on checks drawn on that account if the check amount exceeds $1,500. Since Janet M. Moore is the City's new Director of Finance & City Treasurer, the bank signature card for the Aquatic Center checking account must be updated. Staff recommends that the Palm Desert City Council adopt the attached resolution which authorizes Janet M. Moore, Jose Luis Espinoza, and Clayton von Helf as City signers on the YMCA / City of Palm Desert Aquatic Center bank account. Fiscal Analvsis The addition of a second City signer on checks exceeding $1,500 will ensure that there is appropriate City oversight on large item purchases for the Aquatic Center.
