Council adopts purchasing manual; approves digital distribution of the manual
Summary
The council adopted an ordinance formally adopting the Pryor Creek purchasing manual to govern municipal procurement, and amended the motion to permit digital copies to be distributed to department heads and made available to the public.
The Pryor Creek City Council adopted an ordinance formally adopting the City of Pryor Creek Purchasing Manual to govern municipal purchasing procedures and amended the motion to allow distribution of a digital copy.
The ordinance reading cites the city’s authority under Title 11 of the Oklahoma statutes and states the purchasing manual will govern procurement of goods, services, equipment and construction-related expenditures across city departments. The text directed that a current copy of the manual be maintained on file with the city clerk and made available to the public; during discussion councilmembers asked that a digital copy suffice for distribution to department heads and the city clerk was asked to ensure a digital copy will be posted or circulated to reduce printing costs and to ease updates.
Council thanked staff for preparing the manual; the mayor specifically praised Phyllis Luella for her role in preparing the purchasing manual. A motion to adopt the manual with the amendment permitting digital distribution was seconded and approved on the record.
Ending: The adoption brings the city’s procurement rules under a consolidated manual; the clerk will file the official copy, distribute the digital version to department heads and make it available to the public as required by the ordinance and state law.
