Council takes first reading of ordinance shifting procurement duties to Town Manager
Summary
Ordinance No. 2026-05 received its first reading; the measure would move procurement authority from the Town Clerk to the Town Manager and raise dollar thresholds for procurement methods. No final action was taken at the first reading.
The Council received the first reading of Ordinance No. 2026‑05 on April 9, a text amendment to Title 3 of the Town Code addressing procurement and investment procedures.
The ordinance text presented to the Council states it would "shift responsibilities from the Town Clerk to the Town Manager and rais[e] the dollar amount thresholds for the various procurement methods." Mayor Wallace opened the item for its first reading; Council did not take final action at this meeting.
Because this was a first reading, the ordinance will return for additional consideration and any required subsequent readings or formal vote at a later meeting if the Council elects to advance it.
