Council agrees city conflict-of-interest language meets federal sample; signs letter to RD
Summary
City staff told the council that existing procurement and conflict-of-interest provisions (chapter 37 procurement and chapter 38 conflicts) satisfy the federal reviewer's sample language requirement; the council authorized a letter to confirm adequacy to the federal reviewer (RD).
Council reviewed the city's procurement and conflict-of-interest language and agreed to notify a federal reviewer that Jenkins' existing ordinances meet the requested standard.
The staff speaker noted that one provision in the procurement code (section 37.006) and the city's chapter 38 addressing conflicts already cover the elements the federal reviewer requested. "I looked at that in compar it to the one that Rd sent as a sample and feel that that our conflicts are adequately stated already we don't need to change it," the clerk said, and the council authorized a letter for the mayor to sign confirming the city's compliance.
No amendments or ordinance changes were proposed; the action is administrative: preparing and signing a letter to the federal reviewer (RD) to confirm the city's policies meet federal requirements.
