Council hears first reading of ordinance to shift procurement duties to Town Manager
Summary
Ordinance No. 2026-05 (first reading) would amend the procurement chapter by reallocating procurement responsibilities from the Town Clerk to the Town Manager and increasing dollar thresholds for procurement methods; no final action was taken at the meeting.
Mayor Johann R. Wallace introduced Ordinance No. 2026-05 during the April 9 meeting as a first reading. The ordinance would amend Town Code Title 3 (Revenue and Finance), Chapter 3.05 (Procurement and Investment) to shift certain 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; the minutes explicitly record it as a first reading and show no final vote or adoption that evening. Town staff and council may return the ordinance for second reading and final action at a later meeting if changes or further review are requested.
Because this was a first reading, no procurement changes are in effect and no budgetary or procedural implementation steps were recorded in the minutes.
