Sec. 2-147Discretion on 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 purchases where quality, as well as price and service, is involved, the city manager shall exercise discretion in making the purchase. In all cases where patented items or special purpose items are requested, the city manager has the discretionary authority to decide whether similar products of equal quality and at a lower price shall be ordered in lieu of items requested.
