The City Council on Oct. 12 voted unanimously to receive and file the quarterly report on contracts approved by the city manager or Seal Beach department heads. The report covers the period from July 1 to Sept. 30 of this year.
This was a Consent Calendar item. The council doesn’t talk about consent items unless a council member pulls one individual discussion. Nothing was pulled from this week’s Consent Calendar.
“The City Manager has the authority to approve and execute contracts up to the amount of $42,982,” according to the staff report prepared by Deputy City Clerk Brandon DeCriscio.
“Seal Beach Municipal Code Section 3.20.005 authorizes the City Manager to delegate spending authority to Department Heads. For departments other than the Director of Public Works and the Director of Finance/City Treasurer, this authority shall not exceed $15,000 per purchase or contract,” DeCriscio wrote.
“For the Director of Finance/City Treasurer, other than for Finance Department expenditures which are set at $15,000,” DeCriscio wrote.
