Re: Contract approval list
Action needed: Board approval of language clarification for Contract Approval List
Background: The library engages in a number of contractual agreements in order to maintain efficiencies with services or vendors. A listing of these contracts is maintained in the Contract Approval List; the list is approved by the Library Board annually.
At the December 2005 Board meeting, concern was expressed regarding contradictory language included in the Contract Approval List. The contradiction had to do with the timeframe outlined for approval of the list.
Heidi and I reviewed the language, and have drafted an update to the language. We feel this clarifies the policy and more fully defines the process and timeframe for approval of contracts.
