At this week’s regular session of the Huntsville City Council, Finance Director Lance Hall passed along some “Do’s and Dont’s” in tweaking the city’s Purchasing Plan for 2025.
He said:
“Don’t commit to or acquire funds or services without an authorized purchasing plan.
“Do adhere to the city’s ‘Code of Ethics,’ and avoid activities and behaviors that are unethical or create conflicts of interest. Avoid a perception of conflicts of interest.
“And do purchase plans to minimize the use of emergency and expedited purchases. Rush purchases are generally more expensive than delayed assistance.”
Regarding the time factor on city purchases, Hall passed along.
The council approved the Purchasing Plan for 2025.
