The Village of Mazon Personnel Committee recommended on April 22, 2025 that any employee purchase of $500.00 or more require prior approval from the Village Board.
The committee discussed how to define emergent purchases and what exceptions, if any, would apply. The minutes state: "The personnel committee recommends setting a employee purchase limit policy, any purchase $500.00 or more will need prior Board approval before purchase can be made." The minutes do not specify implementation details such as whether the limit applies per transaction, per employee annually, or whether a delegated official could grant emergency approvals; those details were "not specified" in the record.
