In the Charter Election held on May 6, 1989, voters approved revision of Section
14, Chapter XXVII , No Alteration of Contract for Public Work Without the Approval
of the City Council . The Charter now allows the Council , by ordinance, to estab-
lish rules by which a change order may be executed by the City Manager without
the requirement of City Council authorization.
The Manager's Office, Department of Law and the operating departments most in-
volved with change orders have developed an ordinance and procedures to implement
a new policy that would,,allow the City Manager to approve change orders in the
amount of $15,000 or less.
The staff will review the proposed ordinance and implementing procedures at the
Pre-Council Meeting on Tuesday, October 24, with plans to present the ordinance
for Council approval the following week.
