CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
City of Anaheim
CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE
DATE: AUGUST 15, 2023
FROM: CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE
SUBJECT: REVISE THE CITY MANAGER’S CONTRACTUAL
AUTHORITY FROM $200,000 TO $100,000
ATTACHMENT (Y/N): YES ITEM # 23
GOVERNMENT CODE § 84308 APPLIES: NO
REQUESTED ACTION:
That the City Council, by Resolution, i) revise the City Manager’s contractual authority to an amount not to exceed $100,000 by rescinding Resolution No. 2021-031 and replacing it with a new Resolution to reflect that revision; and ii) amend Council Policy
4.1 to incorporate the City Manager’s revised contractual authority.
DISCUSSION:
Mayor Aitken requested that this item be added to the Council Agenda in order to consider modifying the City Manager’s contractual authority. Presently, Resolution No. 2021-031 authorizes the City Manager to execute, ratify, and amend agreements in cases where the compensation payable under the contract does not exceed $200,000. Contracts that exceed the City Manager’s authority of $200,000 are currently placed on the City Council Agenda for approval, as are contracts valued at over $50,000 that are not competitively bid.
The proposed resolution would rescind Resolution No. 2021-031 and modify the City Manager’s authority to execute, ratify, and amend agreements where the compensation payable under the contract does not exceed $100,000, and would amend Council Policy
4.1 to reflect this change. In addition to the proposed revision, it would also restate, for ease of reference, the other substantive provisions of Resolution No. 2021-031, which remain unchanged.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
There is no budgetary impact to the General Fund.
Respectfully submitted,
Jim Vanderpool
City Manager
Revise the City Manager’s Contractual Authority from $200,000 to $100,000 August 15, 2023
