Sec. 2-146Emergency purchases
Plain English: what this chapter covers
Chapter 2 covers how city government runs: when the council meets and how residents can speak, the ethics code and how to file a complaint, rules for city employees (including drug testing and the city minimum wage), budgeting and purchasing limits, city credit cards, the Community Relations Commission, and how the city protects utility customers' personal information.
In all cases where there is an immediate need for any materials, supplies, goods, wares, or merchandise by any department, such department must advise the city manager, and if he/she cannot be located, the officer or employee must immediately notify the mayor. In the event that neither of the above individuals can be reached and an emergency purchase of the item is absolutely necessary, such purchase must be reported to the city manager within 24 hours of such purchase.
