Town manager to propose procurement-code revisions to reduce RFP burden and allow emergency approvals
Town staff will draft an ordinance to update the procurement code so projects below a new threshold require three quotes instead of an RFP and to let the Town Manager approve emergency expenditures up to $35,000, staff and the town attorney said.

Town Attorney Thomas Benavidez concurred with the approach and Mayor Wallace directed staff to bring an ordinance back to the council for consideration.
