That is not proposed to change.
You would get
you know, at a $1.7 million budget, it'd take up its own section on the city council agenda.
And so this current language is proposed to clarify that, right?
It maintains council approval from project to project, from fund to fund, from department to department, but within department city manager approval, which is currently how we operate.
No.
Anything over $250,000, even if it's appropriated, has to come to the city council, right?
And then we have procurement as well as purchasing rules around how many bids are obtained and how those processes flow.
It's frankly just providing some clarity for administration.
And I'll turn it over to the finance director for any additional info.
I do.
I mean, this executive staff has always told me that we don't like vagueness in our language because we want to be explicit.
And now we're saying exactly what I've been arguing for before, which is having some interpretability is good because we can
uh... make things on the fly and previously we've stated that if we want something done if we want to give people powers it must be explicitly stated if we want people to be disallowed from doing something we want that to be explicitly stated even the state is not very clear about this we had a cast bill that came before us came before the state and that we couldn't get any traction there at that what point do we determine what discrimination is and at some point not having things clearly defined as this executive staff tells me
creates a problem for people who want to come in to complain where it's not there and we decide not to see it, or something is not there and we choose to see it.
I mean, why are we bifurcating our requirements?
Why are we bifurcating our values when we say that some things must be explicitly stated and other things should be left usefully vague?
But this is what?
But I think that what Attorney Reuter was talking about is regulations.
I mean, it says regulatory guidelines that were not state laws, but we could still abide by them because of the vagueness.
