Previous Commission Action: N/A

 

Background/Problem Discussion: The results of the election were that amendments 1, 2, and 3 were approved, and amendment 4 was rejected.  The only amendment of the three that has immediate impact is amendment 2, as it removes the competitive purchasing procedure from Section 2.07(e) of the charter.  The town will be presenting a purchasing policy by Ordinance at the 12/20 Commission meeting, and until that time Resolution 2010-38, which adopts purchasing policies and procedures will be the governing document for purchasing.
