BACKGROUND Ordinance 139, codified as 2 . 12. 120 of the Moorpark Municipal Code, authorizes that the City Manager may execute contracts up to a maximum of $25, 000 for which a budget appropriation has already been approved by the City Council. The ordinance also provides that contracts so executed are scheduled on the agenda for the Council's information. In an effort to simplify internal processing and shorten the length of the agenda, staff is proposing that Section 2 . 12 . 120 be amended to allow contracts executed by the City Manager or his designee to be presented to the Council for their information via a monthly box report. The proposed amendment also provides that the City Manager's designee be authorized as approved by the City Manager to execute contracts up to a maximum of $5, 000 for which a budget appropriation has already been approved by the City Council. Recreation service contracts that contain standard boiler plate language and allow, as the only discretion, latitude in insurance and standard City contracts with no deviation is an example of the contracts a department head would be designated to sign. At the City Manager's discretion, each designee would be limited in authority to a per contract or per annum cap which would not I necessarily be $5, 000 but in any case not exceed $5, 000. It's the City Manager's intention that all or most of the contracts to be signed by others so authorized be a pre-approved City standard contract. In accordance with adopted procedure, the draft ordinance has been reviewed by the City Attorney. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Introduce Ordinance No. for first reading. Attachments: Draft Ordinance.
