Grant city manager emergency spending authority up to $100,000 for federal stimulus projects
In Plain English
The city manager currently needs council approval for contracts over $10,000. This gives him authority to spend up to $100,000 without council approval to quickly respond to federal stimulus opportunities. The expanded authority helps the city act fast when federal ARRA funds become available.
