COUNCIL DISTRICTS IMPACTED: NA
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Per section 9.17 of the City Charter, City Council approval is required for annual purchases that exceed $50,000. There are various routine expenditures that occur every year and staff recommend that these expenditures be approved all at once, to more efficiently manage staff resources as well as ensure compliance with the charter. This will eliminate the need for these expenditure requests to be brought to City Council individually throughout the year.
This action will allow purchases to be made as needed throughout the year. As indicated below, the purchases are competitively vetted by cooperative agreements, quote or justified as a single source. Funding has been allocated for all of the expenditures detailed below.
As additional vendors that are anticipated to exceed the $50,000 threshold are identified, they would still be brought for City Council at that time. Moreover, any purchases that warrant individual consideration and approval will be brought to City Council in that manner.
The following purchases and estimated annual expenditures are recommended for City Council consideration:
