Summary

Council adopted ordinance 20 26-13 to update the city procurement table (chapter 33, section 33.019) to match state law changes that raised certain quote/sealed-bid thresholds to $300,000.

City staff told the council that recent changes in state law required updates to the city's procurement table. Staff explained the relevant change: the monetary range for equipment and supplies that previously required sealed bids ($50,000–$149,000) has been raised to allow quotes rather than sealed bids up to $300,000.

"That range has now increased from 50 to 300,000," said the staff presenter (speaker 7), describing the effect on quote and sealed-bid thresholds. Council introduced ordinance 20 26-13, then voted to suspend the rules and adopt it on final reading by roll-call vote. The recorded vote showed all council members present voting yes; the ordinance is adopted and in effect so the city’s procurement code aligns with state rules.
