Description
In March 1961, the Manager of Public Works of the City solicited proposals for the construction, operation and leasing of a hotel on certain ground at the airport operated by the City. The mayor of the City, with the approval of his cabinet, proposed to enter into a contract with an architect for the purpose of securing advice and expert analysis of proposals which would be received with reference to the contemplated hotel operation. April 13, 1961, the auditor refused to sign the proposed contract. August 28, 1961, the City filed an action in the district court in the nature of mandamus seeking a decree requiring the auditor to approve the contract. Shortly thereafter the council of the City adopted an ordinance authorizing the expenditure of $3,000.00 to compensate the architect for the services covered by the contract. On September 18, the city council by ordinance approved the proposed contract and the previous appropriation, and authorized, directed and empowered the proper municipal officers, "* * * to take such actions as may be necessary and desirable to implement such contract * * *."
