DIRECT the County Administrator to recommend appropriate emergency
expenditures for approval by the Board of Supervisors .
BACKGROUND:
The 1994-1995 Contra Costa Grand Jury, in its Report Number .9503,
noted that the County lacks emergency spending procedures and
recommended that the Board of Supervisors take corrective action.
County policy specifies that the Board of Supervisors authorize all
service contracts over $25,000. It may be necessary, in an
emergency, for a Department to obtain authority for such an
expenditure prior to routine administrative review. When such an
emergency exists, approval of the County Administrator for
emergency submission to the Board of Supervisors will be required.
Emergency expenditures recommended by the County Administrator will
be presented to the Board of Supervisors at the earliest possible
opportunity.
