The City Manager and all department heads who are charged with doing the day-to-day business of the city shall, before considering purchasing or contracting for any goods or services whatsoever on behalf of the city, first determine whether the vendor being considered is current in all payments of the police and fire service fee. If the vendor is not current in these payments, the city shall not do business with this vendor unless it brings its payments current or unless there is no other reasonable means of acquiring the said goods and/or services.
