Denton board to draft purchasing thresholds and bidding policy
Summary
Trustees reached consensus to draft a resolution setting micro, small and large purchase thresholds, requiring a good-faith effort for multiple bids, and including an emergency purchasing provision to present at the next meeting.
Trustee discussion and resident input led the Board to direct staff to draft a resolution on spending authorization and purchasing guidelines.
MariSue Wagner recommended requiring a good-faith effort to obtain two to three bids and setting thresholds (consultation with the Board Chair for expenditures over $1,000 and Board approval for expenditures over $10,000). The clerk advised the thresholds could be adopted by resolution; the Board reached consensus to draft the resolution for consideration at the next meeting.
