The Council of the City of El Segundo does ordain as follows:

A. California Government Code § 40602 generally requires the mayor to execute
all contracts on behalf of the City unless the City Council, by ordinance, gives
signature authority to a City officer.
B. The City Council believes that it is in the public interest to have contracts
executed in a timely manner after being approved by the City Council.
C. It is appropriate to authorize the City Manager to execute contracts on behalf
of the City when directed by the City Council, or by ordinance, to do so.
SECTION 2: Subsection "I" is added to § 1 -5A -7 of the El Segundo Municipal Code
(`SSMC ") to read as follows:
"I. The city manager is authorized to sign contracts on behalf of the city as
directed by the city council or as necessary to fulfill the city manager's
responsibilities set forth in Sections 1 -7 -1 through 1 -7 -12 of this Code."
SECTION 3: All subsections appearing subsequent to ESMC § 1- 5A -7(I) will be
appropriately renumbered.
SECTION 4: If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court
of competent jurisdiction, the city council intends that such invalidity will not affect the
effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions
of this Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 5: The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this
Ordinance; cause it to be entered into the City of El Segundo's book of original
