Dan Newton, City Administrator, provided an explanation of the item and requested the approval of Resolution No's 23-6219 and 23-6220.
Mayor McCourt requested that an item be brought forward at a future meeting that would allow staff to make those decisions under a specified dollar amount, especially in case of an emergency.
Mr. Newton stated that contracts are currently required to be approved by council and it is also not permitted for staff to make the determination to spend funds not currently budgeted, which is why a budget amendment is required. He added that it would require policy changes at this time.
He offered that staff is currently reviewing and revising the purchasing policy.
