City Council
CC 4. Fleet Program Single Vendor Expenditure Authority Increase and Appropriation
Recommendation(s):
1. Increase the City Manager’s, or his designee, single-vendor expenditure authority to the
budgeted amount for the fleet fund capital asset purchase and lease accounts through the end
of FY 2024-2025, and require the City Manager to report purchases in excess of the
purchasing authority to the City Council in writing; and
2. Appropriate $240,000.00 into account 111-44097-82000; and
3. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute and sign all documents.
To address this, the Maintenance Services Division is proposing an increase in the City
Manager’s expenditure authority for single-vendor vehicle and equipment purchases. This
increase would align with the approved capital asset budget for fleet funds, and allow staff to
act quickly when working with vendors, securing the best possible deals. The proposed
adjustment would streamline the vehicle procurement process, while maintaining compliance
with the City’s purchasing policies.
