No department or division of the City shall obtain any supplies, materials or equipment without submitting a written requisition for such supplies, materials or equipment to the City's Purchasing Agent. The Director of Finance, with the approval of the City Manager, shall prescribe the form and manner with which such purchase requisitions are submitted to the Purchasing Agent. No officer or employee of the City shall expend any funds or enter into, execute or deliver on behalf of the City any purchase order, contract or other obligation upon the City, either oral or written, without the advance written approval of the Purchasing Agent; provided, however, that the City Manager, or the Director of Finance in the City Manager's absence, may dispense with such procedure if a real and actual emergency exists in connection with the proposed purchase. Provided further, however, that this section shall not apply to purchases or contracts directly authorized by the City Commission by appropriate legislation nor remove the duty of the City Manager to approve vouchers for the payment of funds from the City Treasury.
