Harrison Township board adopts updated purchasing policy, raises department spending limit to $5,000
Summary
The board adopted an updated Purchasing Policy that codifies digital approvals and raises the department head spending limit to $5,000 when funds are appropriated, after the Finance Director reviewed peer policies and proposed changes.
Harrison Township's Board of Trustees on May 27 adopted an updated Purchasing Policy that increases department head spending authority to $5,000, formalizes digital check-approval processes and invoice submittals, and removes outdated procedures.
According to the Clerk's summary of the Finance Director's review, the update aligns township procurement practices with peer communities and sets the $5,000 threshold for department heads provided sufficient funds are appropriated in the relevant line item during budgeting. The draft also codified the township's digital processes for check approvals and invoice submittals.
Trustee Brian Batkins moved to adopt the updated Purchasing Policy and Trustee David Bratto seconded; the motion carried.
The adopted changes take effect immediately as reflected in the minutes; no additional implementation timeline or department-level guidance was included in the record.
