Board streamlines purchasing: new procurement policy adopted

The Clerk presented an updated procurement and purchasing policy intended to replace the 2017 policy and improve operational efficiency. The policy authorizes the Clerk/Treasurer, Director of Public Works, and Chief of Police to make routine purchases within their approved budgets without bringing each purchase to the Board, while still requiring board authorization for large capital projects. "The updated policy is intended to improve operational efficiency by authorizing the Clerk/Treasurer, Director of Public Works, and Chief of Police to make routine purchases within their approved budgets without requiring individual board approval for each expenditure," the Clerk explained.
