The entire ordinance needs to reviewed in light <br />of what is needed for staff to operate and be productive. There should be a way to provide <br />the City Administrator and department heads with a level in comfort in knowing that they <br />are authorized to proceed to make purchases, up to a certain amount, provided it is in the <br />budget. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding the need and purpose for field purchase orders. Sandra <br />Ashley explained that field purchase orders are for minor purchases that can be handled <br />with a minimum of clerical support. The current dollar limit on field purchase orders is $50 <br />and Sandra Ashley recommended increasing that amount to $300. <br /> <br />Sandra Ashley noted that capital outlay purchases, regardless of the amount, should <br />continue to be subject to the current procedure used. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann directed Mr. Hartley to draft a purchasing policy based on the discussion <br />and present it to City Council for discussion and consideration. <br /> <br />Case #8 Request For Temporary On-Sale Non-Intoxicating Liquor <br /> License; Case Of Ramsey Lions Club: <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley explained that the Ramsey Lions Club is requesting a temporary on-sale non- <br />intoxicating liquor license for their Fall Fest scheduled for September 30 at Rum River <br />Plaza. <br /> <br />City Council/September 12, 1989 <br /> Page 7 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
