The first meeting of the year is the best time to make important annual designations and ensure your city council, board of commissioners, or board of education is ready for the new year. Here are a few items you should consider doing at your first meeting:

1. Make necessary appointments to boards, commissions, and committees.
2. Annual designation for the entity’s official newspaper.
3. Annual designation for the entity’s official depositories for all depositories used by the entity.
4. Annual designation of check signors.
5. Annual designation of authority to make electronic funds transfers.
6. Review expense reimbursement limits and mileage rates.
