Trustees debate procurement thresholds and emergency purchasing rules; treasurer proposes requisition forms

Trustees discussed village procurement controls after questions about staff needing board approval for routine repairs. The treasurer and counsel explained the current procurement policy requires a requisition form before a purchase order can be executed and described threshold levels: department heads may approve purchases up to a micro-purchase threshold (examples discussed around $2,500), purchases between $2,500 and higher thresholds require additional bidding or approvals, and larger contracts require formal procurement steps.
