services and equipment without the need of competitive bids needs
to be raised in order to be more efficient, practical and

limit on the purchase of supplies, services and equipment is
needed without observing the procedure prescribed by Section
2 . 68. 020.

emergency requires that an order be placed with the
nearest available source of supply, when the amount
involved is less than five hundred dollars, or when the
commodity can be obtained from only one vendor. The
City Council by majority vote of its entire membership
may dispense with such bidding and other procedures
required by Chapters 2 . 64 and 2 . 68 in any individual
