Council holds first reading of ordinance to shift procurement duties to Town Manager
Summary
Ordinance No. 2026-05, a first reading that would amend procurement rules by moving responsibilities from the Town Clerk to the Town Manager and raising dollar thresholds, was introduced; no final vote was taken.
Mayor Johann R. Wallace introduced Ordinance No. 2026-05 during the April 9 meeting. The ordinance would amend Town Code Title 3 (Revenue and Finance), Chapter 3.05 (Procurement and Investment), shifting procurement responsibilities from the Town Clerk to the Town Manager and increasing the dollar thresholds that trigger different procurement methods.
The item was presented as the ordinance's first reading; the minutes state "No action taken, this is the first reading." Council did not vote to adopt the ordinance at this meeting, so the proposal remains at the first-reading stage pending further review and a future council action.
