DATE: April 8, 1986
SUBJECT: Council Agenda, April 10, 1986
ITEM: 15F - Consider an ordinance to increase the general authority of the
City Manager to contract for expenditures. (First Reading)
Passage of Charter Amendment #3 April 5, 1986 deleted provisions
for competitive bidding already covered by State statute and eliminated
the $2,000 limit which the City Manager could be authorized to expend
without specific Council approval. The Council is now allowed to
address such matters by ordinance consistent with State law without
having the restriction of obtaining voter approval once every two
years.
The only matter requiring Council action at this time is to set
a City Manager expenditure limit. This ordinance, if approved, would
set the limit at $5,000.
