to staff. No action may be taken.
3.1 COUNCIL GOAL 1.7: REVIEW OF LOCAL PURCHASE PREFERENCE
Council has expressed an interest in Goal 1.7 to review the local bidding
preference that applies to the purchase of goods and non-professional
services procured under City Code Chapter 3-08, Purchasing Policy.
The preference does not apply to construction contracts awarded under
City Code Chapter 3-44, Public Works Contract Policy, or to professional
services awarded under City Council Policy 600-01, Selection of
Professional Services. The current 1% local preference was adopted in
1993 to promote local business activity which may result in increased
local jobs and increased sales tax revenue.
Staff will present legal, financial and practical considerations related to
offering additional preferences when purchasing goods and
non-professional services and provide an opportunity for the City Council
to ask questions about the local preference ordinance and provide
direction to staff.

these four properties to the City's water system. Per the proposed grant
funding agreement, the City has been awarded a grant for $3,574,332 for
