Mayor Paul Goodland
Member of the City Council
As a result of action by the Board of Trustees at our June 29, 1989
meeting, we are formally requesting a change to Section 12 of the
City Code pertaining to municipal hospitals and health care
facilities. Specifically, we are requesting that the minimum limit
specified in the first paragraph of Section 12.20 requiring formal
contract procedures (see attached) be increased from five thousand
($5,000) to twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000). Though the
lower figure was consistent with City policy at the time our current
governing structure was established, subsequent increases approved
by Council have already established the same $25,000 limit for the
City we are now requesting for the medical center. Similarly, the
language of Section 12.21 describing open market procedures should
be revised to reflect the same $25,000 limit. Board and Administra-
tive policies have been revised to provide what we feel are
appropriate procedures and safeguards for purchase of goods and
services of amounts less than $25,000.
Please let us know your decision and, if approved, the effective
date of the change.
Thank you for your consideration.
For the Board of Trustees:
