9.1 CONFIRMATION OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CITY COUNCIL DISCRETIONARY\nFUND AND APPROVAL OF A CONTINUED CORRESPONDING ANNUAL\nAPPROPRIATION TO BE UTILIZED BY THE CITY COUNCL FOR A PUBLIC BENEFIT\nComments:\nA recent review of the November 7, 2023 staff report and supporting resolution shows that\nan ambiguity exists related to whether the discretionary funds were intended to be made\navailable to each Councilmember annually or bi-annually.

(CM)\nRecommendation:\nStaff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution entitled "A\nRESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LYNWOOD CONFIRMING\nTHE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CITY COUNCIL DISCRETIONARY FUND AND\nAUTHORIZING A COTINUED ANNUAL APPROPRIATION OF $5,000 PER\nCOUNCILMEMBER"
