A.                     Issue

Minor technical changes are required to clarify and modernize the purchasing ordinance

 

 

B.                     Background/Options 

Minor technical changes are required to clarify and modernize the purchasing ordinance.  These are noted in the attached document.   The only substantive change is eliminating the requirement for posting public notices on the bulletin board.   We believe this is obsolete and unneeded as all solicitations requiring public notice are noted on the website and in the newspaper.   In the past two years we have not observed a single person reviewing bids on this bulletin board.

 

 

C.                     Strategic Plan (Area of Focus)

N/A

 

 

D.                     Fiscal Impact

None

 

 

E.                     Recommendation

We recommend the attached changes to the purchasing ordinance.
