Item No. 1 <br />Type of Business: WK <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Charles Hansen, Finance Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Purchasing Policy <br />Date of Report: November 15, 2001 <br /> <br />Attached are the City of Mounds View’s current purchasing policy and policies from four <br />other cities. At the end is a research memo from the League of Minnesota Cities. <br /> <br />These policies range from the brief (two pages) to very lengthy. A purchasing policy is a <br />means of carrying out the City Council’s policies and directions. It should be detailed <br />enough to achieve the City Council’s goals, but not so cumbersome that it unreasonably <br />slows work or deters vendors from bidding on city work. <br /> <br />We are looking for any input the City Council would like to have as we begin to draft a <br />new policy for the City of Mounds View. You may find parts of the other cities’ policies <br />that you like and can point them out at the work session. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Charles Hansen
