Council holds first reading of procurement ordinance to shift duties to Town Manager
Summary
Ordinance No. 2026-05, a first reading, would amend the town's procurement code to move procurement responsibilities from the Town Clerk to the Town Manager and increase dollar thresholds for procurement methods; no action was taken on first reading.
Mayor Johann Wallace introduced Ordinance No. 2026-05, which proposes amendments to Town Code Title 3, Chapter 3.05 (Procurement and Investment). The changes would shift procurement responsibilities from the Town Clerk to the Town Manager and raise the dollar-amount thresholds that determine which procurement method applies.
This meeting represented the ordinance's first reading; Council did not take final action. No specific dollar thresholds were read into the record during the first reading, and staff will return with the ordinance on a subsequent agenda for further consideration and formal adoption.
Next steps: staff to provide ordinance language (with specific threshold figures and implementation mechanics) for a future Council meeting.
