A capital expenditure shall not be made by a Purchasing Agent unless the specific expenditure is reviewed and approved by the Town Council (the Purchasing Agency). The fact that supplies or capital expenditures are included in a budget adopted and approved by the Town Council does not constitute the review or approval intended herein. Rather, before making the purchase, the specific purchase must be submitted to the Town Council, and the Town Council will then decide whether the expenditure should be approved, and the limitations, further actions and procedures that are to be followed. Consideration of a request for approval may be continued, tabled, held in abeyance at the will of the Purchasing Agency. The authority given by the Purchasing Agency, may be given by regular council action without the need of a resolution or ordinance, unless the law otherwise requires.
