Council holds first reading of ordinance to shift procurement duties to Town Manager, raise thresholds
Summary
Ordinance No. 2026-05 was introduced for first reading; it would move procurement responsibilities from the Town Clerk to the Town Manager and raise dollar thresholds for procurement methods. No action was taken at first reading.
Mayor Johann R. Wallace introduced Ordinance No. 2026-05, which would amend the Town Code Title 3 (Revenue and Finance), Chapter 3.05 (Procurement and Investment) to shift procurement responsibilities from the Town Clerk to the Town Manager and to raise dollar thresholds for procurement methods.
The item was opened for discussion as a first reading; no vote or final action on the ordinance was recorded in the transcript. Councilmembers did not adopt the ordinance at this meeting; staff and legal counsel will return with the ordinance for subsequent consideration.
Why it matters: Changing procurement authority and dollar thresholds would alter internal controls and administrative responsibility for purchases and could affect how purchases are authorized and documented.
Next steps: The ordinance will proceed as a first reading and return for further council consideration at a later meeting; staff to provide the required subsequent readings and any revisions.
