Stonecrest council approves revised purchasing policy raising city manager's approval threshold
Summary
Council approved a resolution to amend the purchasing policy, updating textual thresholds to match numbers the council previously approved; vote was 4-1.
The Stonecrest City Council voted Feb. 10 to approve a resolution amending the city's purchasing policy to reflect previously agreed spending thresholds and to increase the city manager's level of financial approval.
The resolution transcribes previously approved numeric thresholds into the policy text so staff can implement procurement actions under the new limits. Councilmember (record name) moved to approve the purchasing-policy resolution; the motion carried 4-1.
Council discussion focused on whether to delay action to allow additional review. City Manager Scruggs and the city attorney advised the resolution only converts charted thresholds into prose throughout the policy and that staff need the finalized policy to proceed with procurement actions planned for the coming weeks.
Votes at a glance: The council recorded a 4-1 vote in favor; the transcript did not identify by name which member voted no. The manager may sign the resolution immediately and staff may proceed under the new thresholds once signed.
Ending: The resolution took effect at the Feb. 10 meeting and the city manager indicated she could sign it so staff could act immediately; the measure was recorded as approved 4-1.
