Commission adds 2 CFR Part 200 language to procurement policies to advance $300,000 GLO grant application
Summary
City staff said adding specific 2 CFR Part 200 language to procurement policies was required to move a $300,000 General Land Office grant application — intended to reimburse staff time on the Unified Development Code — to the next review stage; the commission approved the change.
McAllen — The City Commission adopted additions to the city’s procurement and purchasing policies to include more explicit references to 2 CFR Part 200 procurement standards so a $300,000 grant application to the Texas General Land Office (GLO) can proceed in review.
City staff said the application seeks reimbursement of staff salaries for work on the Unified Development Code (UDC). Staff previously referenced 2 CFR Part 200 but the GLO requested additional, specific procurement language as part of the submission. The commission voted to adopt the language and staff said the action allows the grant application to move to the next stage of review.
The item was presented by city staff; a commissioner moved approval and the motion carried on a voice vote. Staff did not state that the grant had been awarded — only that the application had been submitted and that the policy language was a prerequisite for further GLO review.
