Title
Supervisor Knight recommending the Board consider putting a measure on the ballot for the next available county-wide election  to amend Section 602 of the El Dorado County Charter to provide the Board of Supervisors with the authority to allow procurement of services for less than $10,000 without the need for a written contract, provided that the Board of Supervisors does so by ordinance which specifies alternate procedures for processing and documenting the purchases. (Refer 7/20/10, Item 29) (Est. Time: 15 Min. )  
Resolution 028-2011
Body
Background: On June 29, 2010 the Board directed that an amendment to Section 602 of the County Charter be placed on the November 2, 2010 ballot for voter consideration.  Measure G did not pass, losing by 1,610 votes.  Supervisor Knight believes this amendment is a minor change that will make government more efficient, save taxpayer dollars and make it easier to do business  in El Dorado County. Currently we have elected officials able to campaign for this measure and hope we would find this a more favorable time to have this measure approved by the electorate.
