Title
Discussion regarding a resolution authorizing the City Manager or authorized designee the authority to execute contracts as approved in the budget in an amount up to $50,000, and for contracts specifically approved in the authorized purchase list approved by City Council in the annual budget in the maximum amount of $200,000.
Summary
The City Charter allows City Council to establish the authorization for the City Manager to have authority to sign contracts.
Article IV: Administrative Services, Section 4.01: City Manager, (C): Powers & Duties, item 10. If authorized by the city council, sign any contract, conveyance or other
document.
The City Manager was authorized to execute agreements not to exceed $50,000 for services effecting projects in 2008. This resolution expands the signature authority to include all contracts and/or agreements that have been approved in the budget up to $50,000. This resolution also provides authority for contracts and agreement up to $200,000 contained in a list of authorized purchases that will be presented to Council for approval in the budget process. This repeals all previous resolutions in conflict of this resolution.
