At a special meeting, the Durant City Council voted unanimously to approve two purchases of Dell servers for the city’s infrastructure and then adjourned.
Speaker 3 described the purchase process to the council and said the item had been handled as an emergency procurement. Speaker 3 said, "this emergency purchase is 37.023," and that the city manager "has the authority to declare an emergency," adding that OMEG attorneys had reviewed the request and recommended proceeding under the emergency process rather than the routine purchase order process.
