1. WORKSHOP
A. Purchasing Policy Workshop to Review the Proposed Purchasing Policy
Update Recommendations
The City engaged NIGP Consulting ("Consultant") in January 2023 to conduct a
procurement policy and procedure assessment and to provide revision
recommendations. The purpose of the engagement was to conduct a comprehensive
assessment of the City's purchasing policies and procedures. The aim was to
determine whether the City was adhering to industry best practices and to ascertain
whether greater delegated authority for procurement activities was necessary to
streamline operations, increase work efficiencies, and mitigate risk. The objective of
this workshop is to communicate the Consultant's findings and recommendations, as
well as seek further guidance from the Council.
Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions:
1. Receive and file "Procurement Policy and Procedure Assessment" report.
2. Discuss the report recommendations, including the updates to procurement dollar
thresholds, and provide direction to staff.
3. Authorize the City Manager to submit for City Council consideration an
amendment to the Purchasing Ordinance that would increase dollar thresholds
for procurement, including future CPI adjustments, with respect to RMC Title 3,
Chapter 3.24.015 Purchasing Methods.
4. Authorize the City Manager to submit for City Council consideration a resolution
to become subject to the California Uniform Public Contracting Cost Accounting
Act and to file a copy of the approved resolution with the State Controller's
Office.

consideration an agreement with NIGP Consulting to incorporate and implement
the report recommendations, which includes creating a separate procurement
