The Council may designate, and define in the City’s Purchasing Policy, one of the administrative officers of the City as Purchasing Agent, and the Agent shall be responsible for the purchase of City personal property within budget limitations and the sale of all City property except real estate. In all sales or purchases in excess of the amount defined by the Council and documented in the City’s Purchasing Policy, the sale or purchase shall be approved by the Council and formal sealed bids shall be obtained unless the Council, by formal unanimous resolution of those present at the meeting, determines that no advantage to the City would result from competitive bidding. The Council may authorize the making of public improvements or the performance of any other City work by a City agency without competitive bidding. The Council may establish detailed purchasing, sale and contract procedure by ordinance or resolution.
