Background Purpose: To donate lightweight jackets that are no longer being issued to Murfreesboro Police Officers to the Clarksville, Tennessee Fire Department. Fiscal Impact There is no Fiscal Impact to the City. These Flying Cross brand lightweight jackets were purchased several years ago at a total cost of approximately $1,890.00 ($70.00 each x 27) in anticipation of issuing to our Officers, however, we have since changed our issued cold weather gear and no longer utilize a separate lightweight jacket. They have been in climate controlled storage for approximately 5 years and are of no use to the Police Department any more. All patches and other insignia have been removed and are not identifiable as police uniform items.  Honorable Mayor and Members of City Council Consent Agenda Request June 23, 2015 Recommendation It is recommended that City Council approve the donation of twenty-seven (27) lightweight Flying Cross brand jackets to the Clarksville, Tennessee Fire Department.

In order to effectively utilize these City changes, and changes in State law, it is advisable to change several related policy documents. A goal of these changes is to streamline the process, while maintaining accountability and audit ability. The Ordinance changes the City’s procurement code to reflect changes resulting from creation of a centralized Purchasing Department and the hiring of a Purchasing Director. The existing ordinance, attached for your convenience, did not reflect the full range of responsibilities that can be assigned to the position now that a functioning separate Department rather than a “purchasing agent” in the Finance Department is in operation. The proposed Ordinance also incorporates the change, to be made in the Resolution, of increasing the amount at which three written quotations are required from $7,500 to $10,000. This change was made possible by a law adopted in the last legislative session. This does not mean that the City will not seek three or more quotations for procurements under $10,000. Existing purchasing policies currently require at least three written or verbal quotations if the purchase is over $4,000; staff is reviewing new purchasing policies that would require such written or verbal quotations for any purchase over $1,000. The Ordinance also excuses the City Recorder and the City Manager from having to approve purchase orders of $25,000 or less; this function will be performed by the Purchasing Director. It is important to note that the new purchasing software is linked to the financial software and alerts department heads when a line item is 75 percent or more expended. There are also other features of the software that significantly increases management control over requisitions and purchase orders. The aforementioned change needs to be explicit because the City’s Charter states that certain purchasing and payment Administration Department 111 West Vine Street * P. O. Box 1139 * Murfreesboro, Tennessee 37133-1139 Phone 615 849 2629 * Fax 615 849 2679 TDD 615 849 2689 www.murfreesborotn.gov functions will be performed by these two individuals unless the Council otherwise directs. This Ordinance is such a direction. The Resolution seeks to recognize use of the paperless and integrated aspects of the ERP software by reducing the steps in the required approval process. In so doing it builds upon the Resolutions as to payments you have previously adopted in 2011 and 2014, copies attached for your convenience. It more clearly defines my ability and that of the City Recorder to delegate our remaining responsibilities to specified employees. It should reduce staff’s efforts-and yours-in paying statements by recognizing that Council approval should not be necessary if an expenditure has already received two Council approvals (budget and contract award). This will allow payments to vendors not to be delayed if the Council does not meet for a week or two. Employee Handbook Section 6003, copy attached, sets out a process and a form to be used by department heads to obtain approval for certain procurements. Its repeal is being recommended because this process will now be handled electronically in the ERP and will be based on policies that are in the process of finalizing. The new processes will still require specific approval by the City Manager’s office of unbudgeted purchases and IT purchases will still require approval of the IT Director. Fiscal Impact These three actions will save the City money and reduce paperwork, process and time associated with the purchase of needed goods and services. These same actions will enable the Purchasing Director to better implement consistent, centralized purchasing. It is not possible to quantify the amounts to be saved. Concurrences Leadership team members Jim Crumley, Althea Pemsel, Melissa Wright, Erin Tucker and Susan McGannon join in making these recommendations. We believe they are appropriate. Additional changes as the use and familiarity with the ERP software may be necessary. Recommendation It is recommended that you adopt Ordinance 15-O-43 on first reading. It is recommended that you adopt Resolution 15-R-28 to be effective on July 1, 2015. It is recommended that you rescind Employee Handbook Section 6003 as of July 1, 2015. Attachments 1.

WHEREAS, Ordinance 13-O-38 amended Murfreesboro City Code, Section 2-10 by adopting a revised procurement code; and, WHEREAS, subsequent to the effective date of Ordinance 13-O-38, the City has created a Purchasing Department, hired a Purchasing Director and purchased ERP software to centralize its purchasing functions; and, WHEREAS, the State has adopted Chapter 457 of the Public Acts of 2015 which authorizes cities with centralized purchasing authority with a full time purchasing agent to increase the amounts over which three (3) written quotations shall be required to forty percent (40%) of the threshold over which public advertisement and sealed competitive bids or proposals are required, which will enable that threshold to change from $7,500 to $10,000; and, WHEREAS, Section 42(10) of the Murfreesboro City Charter specifies that the City Manager shall “act as purchasing agent for the city and to purchase all materials, supplies and equipment for the proper conduct of the city government and its officers”; and, WHEREAS, Section 57 of the Murfreesboro City Charter specifies that, except as otherwise provided by ordinance, the City Recorder shall regulate and pay all claims and creditors after having audited them and certified the balance, after approval and certification by the City Manager and the head of the department; and, WHEREAS, the City Manager desires to change the roles of the City Recorder and the City Manager in certifying and approving claims and creditors in order to effectively utilize the Purchasing Department and the ERP and to empower department heads; and, WHEREAS, since Section 57 of the Murfreesboro City Charter imposes personal liability on the City Manager and City Recorder for “all loss or damages sustained by the municipality by reason of the corrupt approval of any claim against the city”, it is important that the Council acknowledge and approve the assignment of functions as proposed; and, NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MURFREESBORO, TENNESSEE, AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.
