New Department of Purchases and Supply Proposed
A legislative study proposes creating a separate Department of Purchases and Supply by reorganizing and expanding the existing Division of Purchase and Printing. The plan, to be led by the director with broader powers and a larger staff, would allow negotiated contracts alongside sealed bids and aim to reduce paperwork. The report to Gov Branley and the General Assembly notes current annual spending of about 15 million dollars and suggests exemptions for the Highway Department and Alcoholic Beverage Control Board continue. The overhaul would raise salary levels for top buyers and aim to expand the staff from nine to about fifteen.
