Council updates city code to align contract numbering with new ERP system
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 5035 to change the municipal contract‑numbering format so it aligns with the Tyler ERP platform and to clarify contracting authority on dark fiber lease modifications; council praised staff for updating roughly 900 active contract numbers.
The Anacortes City Council adopted Ordinance 5035 to amend the municipal code’s contract‑numbering requirements so the city’s contract records align with the Tyler ERP software implementation.
City Attorney Darcy Swetnam explained the change is primarily administrative: Tyler’s system cannot accommodate the prior numbering scheme, so the code language must be updated. Two additional cleanups were included: renaming a position reference from “contract specialist” to “contracts and grants manager” and clarifying the mayor’s contracting authority for dark fiber lease modifications. Council members thanked finance and contract staff for manually updating roughly 900 open contract numbers to conform with the new format.
The ordinance passed on a roll‑call vote (ayes 7, nays 0). The clerk read the roll and recorded the ayes.
