The manual <br />establishes the types and values of goods and services requiring City <br />Council approval. While the open purchases included in this report as <br />Attachment A do not necessarily require Council approval, due to their <br />cumulative values, staff recommends they be approved subject to public <br />review, If approved, staff will be authorized to issue purchase orders to the <br />vendors for purchases made throughout the year consistent with the <br />specified dollar limit. <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />The City Purchasing Manual requires that purchases of goods and ancillary services in excess of <br />$50,000 be approved by the City Council unless determined otherwise by the City Manager, As <br />an example, if the City was to conduct a bid process to purchase a particular product that yielded <br />uncertain bid results, the City Manager may elect to forward the matter to Council to assure that <br />there is appropriate public review for the purchase. On the other hand, the purchase of a <br />budgeted piece of heavy equipment, where the bid results are clear, will be authorized by the City <br /> <br />SR 06:215 <br />Page 1 of3 <br />
