briefly speaks; The resolution amends previously-adopted Small Purchases Policy by changing the
City executive responsible for review and execution of contracts between $20,000 to $50,000 from the
Chief of Staff to CFO/Controller. This is the only change. We conducted several discussions regarding
this change, and the consensus was that with the new budgeting format and financial considerations
associated with contracts generally, it would make a lot more sense for the City’s financial officer to
have a secondary review and signatory power rather than Chief of Staff whose duties rarely involve
monetary transactions. Board Member Potasnik moved to approve. Board Member Campbell
seconded. Resolution was approved 2-0.
