(NOTE: First reading by City Council on April 16, 2019. Passed by unanimous vote.)
Body
Issue/Request:
An Ordinance amending Section 5.7 of the Procurement Policy for the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri to correct a scrivener’s error and inadvertent omission.
Background:
In 2017, the City Council, pursuant to Ordinance No. 8253, approved the City of Lee’s Summit Procurement Policy. While reviewing the previous ordinance passed, staff identified minor scrivener’s errors and omissions. The nature of these errors are the omission of the word annual when referencing contract spend. The word annual is referenced in other sections of the Procurement Policy and was intended to be included in Section 5.7. The proposed amendment aligns Section 5.7 with the remainder of the Procurement Policy. None of the corrections in this ordinance change the intent of the policy. Rather, this ordinance is merely to ensure the language of the policy reflects the intent.
Proposed City Council Motion:
I move for a adoption of an Ordinance amending Section 5.7 of the Procurement Policy for the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri to correct a scrivener’s error and inadvertent omission.
Presenter
Rick Gentry, Procurement and Contract Services Manager
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of an Ordinance amending Section 5.7 of the Procurement Policy for the City of Lee’s Summit, Missouri to correct a scrivener’s error and inadvertent omission.
