and reimburse employees for City operating costs; and

City resolution.
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane
County, Washington, as follows:

The following are minimum requirements for establishment and operation of these accounts:
1. Each petty cash account shall be established by the governing body by resolution.
2. The custodian of each petty cash account should be independent of invoice processing, check signing,
general accounting and cash receipts functions.
