Village adopts updated procurement, ACH and electronic payments policy

The Clerk presented an updated procurement and purchasing policy 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. Large capital-improvement projects will still require board authorization. The Clerk used the tree-removal budget as an example to illustrate why smaller quotes should not require board action when budgeted amounts already exist.
