CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
| City Council Meeting: | May 26, 2020 |
| Department: | Purchasing |
| Subject: | Resolution No. 20-R-54 - Consideration and/or action approving a Resolution by the City Council of the City of Schertz adopting a revised purchasing policy and other matters in connection therewith. (C. Kelm/J. Gohlke) |
BACKGROUND
On May 12, 2020, the Purchasing Department presented a workshop to Council outlining proposed revisions to the Purchasing Policy to align with State Local Government Code. These recommendations included the removal of the requirement to bring cumulative purchases over $50k with a single vendor to council for authorization and the increase of the small dollar purchasing authority from $1000 to $3000.
These changes have now been made to the written policy, and we are seeking Council to adopt the revised purchasing policy in order to repeal any previous resolutions contradicting the revised policies.
