  Director Mickey Miller explained the need for the refunding of the existing
  bonds because of the upheaval in the bond insurance market and the need for
  this authorization upon the advice of bond counsel.  The City’s investment policy will be
  amended via separate ordinance to clarify that the Finance Director has the
  power to authorize such refundings in the future. The
  committee discussed whether the Finance Committee should play a larger role
  in overseeing the city’s investment policy, money management practices,
  etc.  It was suggested that the Council
  Auditor should brief the Council leadership when unusual financial
  circumstances like these arise. AMEND to clarify debt swap policies
  currently in effect by adding a statement and eliminating an exception;
  delete authorization to increase bond amount to capitalize interest and
  extend maturity; on p. 2, line 17 delete “ EMERGENCY APPROVED  RECOMMEND APPROVAL AS AMENDED
