In completing a project or task, a department may need to purchase supplies or equipment. For example, fleet maintenance requires certain supplies to properly service the City fleet. Purchases are made subject to budget availability and procurement procedures - i.e. fleet maintenance may purchase supplies or equipment if the budget covers the expenditure and if the amount of the purchase is less than $5,000. However, that supplier may require execution of an agreement relating to payment terms. Staff is not allowed to execute agreements; only the Mayor may sign. This resolution would authorize the Mayor to sign these type of agreements when the vendors present them as long as the attorney reviews and approves and the procurement procedures are followed.
