Council staff says discussion will continue on charter ordinance that would set change-order limits
Summary
City staff told the Wichita City Council it will continue discussion of charter ordinance 2-28, which would set limits on contract change orders; the item was previewed for the Aug. 4 agenda with no final action taken at this meeting.
City staff told the Wichita City Council they will continue the conversation on charter ordinance 2-28, the ordinance described by staff as the rule that "sets the limits for change orders." Staff did not bring a final proposal to the full council at this meeting.
The item was listed under "unfinished council business" as a continuing discussion; staff framed the ordinance as a technical change to how much authority exists to approve contract change orders. "We will continue the conversation we started a couple of weeks ago regarding charter ordinance 2 28," a staff member said during the agenda preview. No motion, vote, or timetable for a final reading was recorded in the preview.
Council members raised procedural questions about rotating appointments and pending agenda items but did not vote on the ordinance during the session. The council is expected to return to the subject at a future meeting after additional staff follow-up and discussion.
