This chapter creates a framework to authorize the commission
to procure supplies, services, and equipment: (1) related to social
and leisure services and events, and (2) for items not included in
the city budget, with the concurrence of a majority of the entire
commission.
Any request to spend money by the commission must be considered
as a properly agendized item at a regular public meeting of the commission.
The request must include the presentation of detailed information
regarding the specific supplies, services or equipment under consideration
and verification that sufficient funds exist to acquire the same.
A public hearing is not required; however, a resolution shall be prepared
to document any approval to expend funds.
The commission is encouraged, but is not required, to solicit
at least three bids or proposals before considering the procurement
of supplies, services or equipment pursuant to this chapter in an
amount less than or equal to two thousand five hundred dollars. The
purchase of any supplies, services or equipment in excess of this
amount shall require the solicitation of at least three bids or proposals.

The
commission shall not authorize the disbursement of more funds than

(Ord. 962-06 § 3)
Once the commission has authorized an expenditure of funds pursuant to Section 3.10.020 of this chapter, the commission's staff liaison shall prepare a payment voucher to complete the desired acquisition. The commission's staff liaison shall ensure the prompt implementation of the payment voucher.
