Council tables procurement policy adjustments to May meeting
Summary
Council reviewed proposed increases to purchasing authority thresholds in the Procurement Policy’s Sections 3 and 4; Town Engineer Schroeder updated the policy but Council decided to table action to allow more review time and will revisit the item in May.
Council members reviewed suggested changes to the Town Procurement Policy intended to update delegation of purchasing authority and purchase thresholds to better reflect current costs. Town Engineer Schroeder provided an updated draft for Council review. Rather than adopt changes at the April meeting, Councilmembers agreed to table the item to the May meeting to give members more time to examine the revised thresholds.
Council discussion focused on aligning procurement thresholds with rising costs of goods and services and ensuring any new contract language conforms with existing procurement rules. No vote was taken and no spending authority was changed at this meeting.
