The Clerk read the report which read in part as follows; Section 82 of the Charter, governing disposition of public moneys, provides in part as follows: nAll city officials - - empowered to collect money for fees - - or other municipal charges, shall collect the same - - turn them into the city treasury daily - - and report the same to the city auditor weekly. Al such money - - shall be credited to the General Fund of the city, and shall be applicable to any purpose to which the Council may appropriate them . . .n Therefore, in my opinion, it is the intent of the Charter that:all fees, which would include annexation fees, should be handled in the above manner. Councilman Weiss read a prepared statement which is on file in the City Clerk's office. In his statement, Councilnan Weiss stated_that it was his belief that, in all discussions leading to the adoption of an annexation fees, it was tacitly understood that receipts therefrom were intended to reimburse the city for its investments in Capital Projects and that they would be applied to the same purpose, that is, their expansion and improvement as demanded by our continuted growth and the demand of the increasing population. Councilman Weiss moved that the City Attorney be requested to prepare and submit for study and ordinance that will clearly set forth the intent and the procedure to the effect that the Council shall appropriate annually to the Capital Projects Fund, an amount equal to receipts from annexa -:tions fees, seconded by Councilman Stout.
