[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Council of
the Town of Monroe 5-8-1995 (Ch. 5 of the 1976 Code). Amendments noted where applicable.]
As provided in Connecticut General Statutes
§ 7-148v, the Town of Monroe hereby establishes a general
purchasing policy. The purpose of this policy is to ensure fair competition,
to favor businesses located in Monroe and to achieve the best value
for the expenditure while not being detrimental to the provisioning
of Town services in a timely manner.
A.
The First Selectman shall develop implementing procedures
for this policy within 60 days of enactment of this chapter. After
approval by the Town Council, these procedures shall be made available
to the public in the Town Clerk's office and in any other manner deemed
appropriate by the First Selectman and the Town Clerk.
B.
The procedures shall include provisions for the preference
of businesses located in Monroe, provided that the Monroe vendors
are competitive in almost all aspects of the purchase and if the First
Selectman deems it to be in the best interests of the Town to do so.
C.
The First Selectman may make changes to the policy,
provided that the changes are approved by the Town Council.
