THOMAS OSTHOFF City Comptroller Deputy City Comptroller rr�y 25, 1971 Honorable Mayor, Charles P. McCarty and Members of the City Council As a part of your approved legislative program, the State Legislature has adopted an Act allowing the council to appoint the City's Chief Accountant to assume the duties of City Comptroller. This act provides for the Chief Accountant to maintain his civil service status, and assume the duties of the City Comptroller until June Sth, 1972, I am therefore submitting to you a certified copy of the aforementioned act as well as a resolution adopting that act, and my own resignation, Sincerely, i/�� "'°"^- Lou McKenna City Comptroller . / . '� � / � v . � � Z June 2, 1971 Honorable Ma.yor, Charles P. McCarty and Members of the City Council Thank you for the confidence you have placed in me. I am humbled, proud and grateful, I am humbled when I continue to review the many responsibilities of the City Comptroller which I have fallen heir to. The burden is heavy but the cross is sweet. I am proud of the confidence you placed in me to properly administer these most important functions. I am grateful for the fine staff of personnel in the Comptroller's Office and in the Civil Service Bureau. I am sure that I shall call on these people many times and i feel confident that they will respond above and beyond the call of duty. I am grateful that I can call upon you, the legislative body, for the pro- pitious conclusions to many problems that will face our city until the demise of the Comptroller's Office, I am grateful to the City Clerk who has always exhausted every effort to search out my many requests for exact details on so many important ma.tters. I am grateful to the Corporation Counsel and his entire staff. Their unique status is described in "Principles of Governmental Accounting and Auditing - Citrae 1968 - and I quote "A unique characteristic of governmental account- ing is it's dependance upon a complex system of laws and legal regu�ations," This acknowledgement of the dependency of the municipal accountant on the legal staff is further put in it's right perspective and again I quote, "If there is a conflict between legal provisions and generally accepted accounting principal applicable to governmental units; legal provisions must take precedence. Finally, I must acknowledge the roll of the taxpayer who is, in fact, our boss and finances our expenditures, The office shall continue to be open to the public who will always recieve a courteous "Hello" and attentive "ear" to the problem at hand and a "polite" response, so "Mr. Taxpayer" shall not leave empty-handed, Thank you again and now let us all get down to the business at hand, Sincerely, �� Clemens J. chleck Chief Accountant Comptroller , �— • ,�.=�-�i�� - - _ �� —�-v � + i � :,, =_ - - - � ) � , , ��,E.SOILE LfioRn\ /-- ____.��\\ . �� -' �' ,.� _ �>- � ,� ��\�. ,h. = \ ; c� — � � — -- — i ; �li - � �li �1� — �'��_ � -- -- — �� l, Arl en l.
