Title
Amendment of CRA Purchasing Policy (B)
Explanation:
On July 19th, 2010 the CRA Board approved the current CRA purchasing policy. In the past the CRA utilized the City’s purchasing policy. However the nature of CRAs necessitated a standalone policy to acknowledge the CRA governing board as a separate entity from the city commission and to adjust monetary thresholds.
On January 21st, 2016 the City Commission passed resolution #150616 which amended the City of Gainesville’s purchasing policy to reflect its commitment to working with small, local, diverse and Service-Disabled Veteran owned businesses and vendors.
The proposed CRA policy mirrors the recent changes made to the City of Gainesville’s policy as included in the amended policy provided as backup to this item.
