He commented that he prepared a statement in this regard requesting that it be entered into the Minutes as a part of the record. The statement was then read by the City Attorney and is as follows: STATEMENT OF CITY ATTORNEY REGARDING CITY'S EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT PROCEDURE This statement is made to clarify the position of the Councilmen with respect to the City's procedure for expense reimbursement. Councilmen Mammini and Steinkamp, and former Councilmen Ahem, Bertucelli and Borba, did not to my knowledge institute the procedure; in fact, the procedure was in effect before all or most of them were elected to office. I was aware of the City's procedure and was of the opinion that it met the statutory requirements. I did not anticipate such an interpretation by the Court. The Minutes should show t_hat: A councilman has a clear, legal right to reimbursement for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of his duties. The Court's opinion does not dispute the right to reimbursement, but prescribes an auditing procedure different from the City's procedure. It is our intention to comply with the Court's decision, and I am confident that the facts will show that the Mayors' and Councilmen's expenses equalled or exceeded the monthly payments made pursuant to the City's procedure. I request that this statement be copied in the minutes verbatim. /s/John Noonan COMMUNICATIONS Letter, dated January 14, 1975, from Edward J.
