After returning from an executive session on employee matters, the Lancaster City Council approved a motion to grant an exception to the city purchasing policy (policy 1.1) to allow an award/update to Southeast Orange LLC for a police-related purchase.
The mayor announced the motion following the executive session and council approved it by roll-call vote.
