Committee Defeats Bid to Open Bids Above \$5 000
The common council judiciary and administration committee defeated 4 to 1 a proposal by Alderman Harold Lee to require the finance committee to open bids on supplies and equipment over five thousand dollars and to give the council final say on such purchases. The 1955 resolution for the director of finance and purchase to buy goods remains in question as legal opinions differ on legislative versus administrative authority. Aldermen argued the change could expand or complicate the budgeting process and questioned the role of the current purchasing office.
