Purchases And Budget.

All purchase of supplies, including the Water Department, in any

the purchase but, it shall not be made without an order of the Board
made in an assembled meeting or in the event of a clear emergency,
the Committee on Ways and Means/Purchasing/Pay may authorize an expenditure
not to exceed the sum of five hundred dollars ($500.00) without prior
approval of the Board of Aldermen.

Each purchase shall be by requisition directed to the person or firm
from whom the purchase is to be made, shall specify the type and amount
of materials and supplies to be purchased thereunder, the unit and
total cost thereof and be signed by the City Clerk. One (1) copy of
the requisition shall be delivered to the person or firm making the
sale and the other to the City Clerk. Every bill presented for payment
by the City Clerk shall be accompanied by a properly executed requisition,
and any bill not so accompanied, shall not be allowed. Upon presentation
of bills for allowance, it shall be the duty of the City Clerk to
check the bills and requisitions attached with the copies of the requisitions
delivered to him/her. In the event the vendor's bill shall not conform
to the requisition authorizing the purchase evidenced thereby, the
Clerk shall return the bill for correction and no bill shall be paid
for or allowed which exceeds the requisitions thereof. Except as noted
above, all bills shall be submitted to the assembled Board of Aldermen
for approval prior to payment.

sale or other contract, the estimated cost of which is in excess of

written contract from the lowest responsible bidder, after due notice
inviting proposals.

not inconsistent with Sections 90.500 to 90.570, RSMo. They shall
have the exclusive control of the expenditures of all money collected
to the credit of the Park Fund and of supervision, improvement, care
and custody of said park. All monies received for such parks shall
be deposited in the Treasury of said City to the credit of the Park
Fund and shall be kept separate and apart from the other monies of
such City and drawn upon by the proper officers of said City (the
Mayor and City Clerk) upon the properly authenticated vouchers of
the Park Board. Said Board shall have power to purchase or otherwise
secure ground to be used for such parks, shall have power to appoint
a suitable person to take care of said parks and necessary assistants
for said person and fix their compensation, and shall have power to

and intent of Sections 90.500 to 90.570, RSMo., in establishing and
maintaining public parks.

year, the various sums of money received from the Park Fund and other
sources, and how much monies have been expended and for what purposes,
with such other statistics, information and suggestions as they may
deem of general interest. All such portions of such report as relate
to the receipt and expenditure of money shall be verified by affidavit.
