Lynchburg council adopts emergency resolution updating procurement rules for ARPA spending
Summary
The Village of Lynchburg Council unanimously waived readings and approved Resolution 2024-06 to increase the micro-purchase threshold and adopt the Uniform Guidance procurement policy for ARPA and other federal funds; the new dollar threshold was not specified in the record.
The Village of Lynchburg Council unanimously approved Resolution 2024-06 on Oct. 10, 2024, a measure described in the minutes as "Authorizing the Increase in the Micro Purchase Threshold, Adopting the Uniform Guidance Procurement Policy for the Expenditure of ARPA and Other Federal Funds, and Declaring an Emergency." Council voted 6-0 to waive the three-reading rule and then to adopt the resolution on an emergency basis.
The motion to waive the three-reading rule was made by Tagg Pendleton and seconded by Dave Minton; the motion to adopt the resolution was made by Chris Hamlin and seconded by Chris Toller. The council did not record the specific new micro-purchase dollar amount in the meeting record.
The resolution, as described in the minutes, adopts the Uniform Guidance procurement policy for spending ARPA and other federal funds and raises the village's micro-purchase threshold. The minutes do not provide the numerical threshold or further details about procurement procedures, contract limits, or the effective date beyond the emergency adoption. The council's action means the policy is in place pending any further ratification steps the village follows for emergency measures.
The motion passed unanimously, 6-0. The council's record lists the resolution by title as Resolution 2024-06; the minutes do not include the full text of the ordinance change or the new threshold amount.
