Title
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE II, FINANCES, SECTION 2-39, PURCHASING PROCEDURES; PROVIDING FOR PURCHASING PROCEDURES FOR GRANTS.
BACKGROUND: Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 2 CFR 200 consolidates eight grant-related guidance measures into a single set of requirements and thereby creates uniform requirements for the Office of Management & Budget (OMB) and 26 Federal awarding agencies as well as all recipient entities. All FEMA declarations after December 26, 2014 must comply with 2 CFR 200, unless the Non-Federal entity (City of Margate) adopts a waiver in their internal procurement policies. This ordinance provides for a waiver of one additional fiscal year and is effective up to September 30, 2017. On October 1, 2017, the City of Margate must follow all procurement standards in 2 CFR §§ 200.317-200.326.
This ordinance also provides further clarification for staff that the strictest purchasing procedure shall prevail, for all State, County, and private grants.
RECOMMENDATION: For approval.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
