As always, please call if you have any additional questions. Also, I would appreciate it if you would

Please clarify what effect, if any, that the fiscal year has on the signing authority (contract limits) of the
City Manager and Department Heads.
The effect the fiscal year has on staff’s contract signing authority is with respect to approved projects,
services, purchases, programs, etc. approved in the Council-adopted budget, whether by means of a
contract, agreement, or purchase order.
Our Finance Director, among other operational areas she is assessing in her department as our new
Finance Director, has been reviewing our purchasing processes and procedures, best practices, etc.
(time permitting given all other priorities). We will come back to Council in the near future to discuss
and provide additional clarity.
