Body
Issue/Request:
Request approval of a Resolution authorizing the City of Lee's Summit to participate in and utilize cooperative purchasing programs (Approved List).

In addition, Council approval is provided up-front no less than every even numbered year for the City to purchase any budgeted item from said cooperative purchasing programs (Approved List).
Council approval is required for all purchases of unbudgeted items in excess of $20,000.00.
