Upon motion, duly seconded and by unanimous vote, Council adopted two Resolutions authorizing Richard D. Fitts, Director of Finance, and Kevin B. Reed, Director of Housing and Community Development, to maintain two Money Market checking accounts on behalf of the City's Housing Services Office at Piedmont Trust Bank. The Resolutions are in standard banking format and are on file in the Office of the Clerk of Council. City Manager Reynolds explained that.the checking accounts were originally established to receive program income (loan principal repayment) from the Northside/West End Rehabilitation Project and the Church/Fayette Rehabilitation Project. The bank required the Resolutions due to the resignation of Phyllis Holmes, former Director of Housing Services, and subsequent assumption of Housing Division responsibilities by Mr. Reed.
