Agenda Memorandum - 2022-07-18-15-14-15.pdf

The document is an agenda memorandum from the City of Leesburg regarding a resolution to amend and restate the provisions of a previous resolution. The staff recommends approving the resolution to amend category threshold amounts, criteria for change orders, and procurement policy. The proposed changes include increasing the City Commission approval amount for General Fund purchases to $50,000 and for Proprietary Funds to $75,000. The rationale behind the higher threshold for Proprietary Funds is explained due to their higher operating expenses compared to General Fund activities. The document also discusses the effects of inflation on municipal services costs and compares the proposed threshold amounts with other cities in the area. The resolution aims to increase efficiency by reducing the number of items presented to the Commission for approval, freeing up resources in the Procurement Division.
