All items under the price of five hundred dollars ($500) may be purchased outright in the open market by a department head of his/her designated representative, when it has been determined by the department head that it is not economically feasible to buy the item in quantities that require the city to purchase the item by competitive quotes or bidding.
The invoice for the purchased items shall be signed by the city employee who made the purchase. This invoice shall then be coded by the department head for proper payment and turned promptly into the city clerk’s office.
