To appoint an agent for rents and profits, what governing action is required?

• A. Resolution
• B. Ordinance
• C. Proclamation
• D. Decree

Answer: (A)

The governing action for appointing an agent for rents and profits is a resolution. This formal decision records the council’s agreement to designate an agent, outlining the scope, terms, and authorization needed to proceed. Ordinances are used to enact laws, proclamations are public notices, and decrees are executive edicts; none of these fit the administrative nature of hiring or appointing an agent. A resolution provides the proper, authorized instrument to authorize the appointment and guide its terms.
