  1. A.Ordinance #2022-11:  An Ordinance Amending Chapter 4.04, Entitled Purchasing, of the Petersburg Municipal Code to Increase Purchasing Authorization Limits for Administrative Officers of the Borough and the Borough Manager, and to Amend Exceptions to Bidding - Second Reading

    If approved in three readings, Ordinance #2022-11 will increase the purchasing authorization limits from $5,000 to $10,000 for administrative officers of the Borough and from $30,000 to $75,000 for the Borough Manger.  Ordinance #2022-11 was unanimously approved in its first reading.

    During the first reading, Assembly Member Kensinger asked if it were possible to leave the purchasing authorization limits for administrative officers of the Borough to the Manager's discretion.  A second draft version of the ordinance is attached with wording highlighted in yellow added to account for this idea.  The Assembly will need to amend Ordinance #2022-11 by motion if they choose to use any of the suggested highlighted wording.

    In addition, Clerk Thompson realized the $5,000 spending limit is directly spelled out in PMC Chapters 3.12, Borough Clerk, and 3.48, Parks & Recreation Director.  If the Assembly wishes to increase the spending limits outlined in Chapter 4.04, amendments must be made to Chapters 3.12 and 3.48 as well by motion (these changes are also highlighted in yellow on the second draft version of the ordinance).
