LEGAL SERVICES FOR HUMAN RESOURES
BACKGROUND:
In accordance with Sec. 2-518 (a) of the Azusa Municipal Code, purchase orders over $25,000 requires
Council approval. The Human Resources Department is requesting authorization to issue a Blanket
Purchase Order in the amount of $50,000 for legal services performed by Debra L. Reilly. No additional
budget is being requested for this request.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:
1)Waive the competitive bidding process as authorized under Azusa Municipal Code Section. 2-
517(a)(14) – Attorney Services.
2)Approve the issuance of a Blanket Purchase Order to Debra L. Reilly in the amount not to exceed
$50,000 for Legal Services.
ANALYSIS:
The City uses Debra L. Reilly for certain legal services relating to Human Resources. Services needed
throughout the year are difficult to estimate as Staff does not know what future matters will arise requiring
legal expertise. Council action is required to issue a Blanket Purchase Order as the request exceeds the
City Manager’s $25,000 approval authority in accordance with the City’s purchasing policy.
