Council to pursue revisions to purchasing/bidding Article 109, consider executive-session triggers
Summary
Council discussed reducing bidding thresholds and employee spending limits under Article 109 and agreed to have ordinances reviewed by legal counsel before returning to council; potential executive-session triggers for personnel, property and legal matters were reiterated.
Council members discussed proposed revisions to Article 109 (purchasing/bidding requirements) intended to reduce bidding thresholds and lower spending limits for employees and supervisors. The council agreed that draft ordinances would be sent to legal counsel for review and then returned to the council for consideration; no ordinance language or dollar amounts were recorded in the minutes.
Council also reviewed the conditions under which it could enter executive session, listing personnel matters, sale/lease/purchase of real property, economic development competitive issues, and conferrals with legal counsel "that, if made public, would be detrimental to the interest of the Town," as well as other lawful purposes. The minutes do not show the council entering executive session on Aug. 26.
