DISCUSSION/REVIEW OF PURCHASING PROCEDURES
Attorney Dusek-Last year when you drafted your purchasing
procedures one of the things I noted was that the General Municipal
Law requires that you review your policy at least once a year. The
law does not require that you do anything. You can simply say it's
okay by resolution, vote and move on or you can make any revisions
to it or you can say it's okay now and come back some other time
and revise it. Your not bound for the year because you say okay
now but at least it's of the record that you did in fact comply
with that section of the law. There is one item that I would like
to bring to the Board's attention which should be clarified and
it's regarding professional services. The purchasing procedure is
not clear on how professional services be handled and I'd like to
recommend that whenever the Town goes for professional services
that a request for proposals be used, that format.
Town Board held discussion, agreed to Attorney Dusek's
recommendation and the following sentence was proposed:
The Town Board approval shall be based upon a review of
Request for Proposals.
Town Board agreed to add sentence at the end of section GENERAL
.
