North Judson Council to Continue Discussing Purchasing Policy Changes Tonight

The North Judson Town Council will continue discussing changes to its purchasing policy tonight. Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe told the town council last month that the State Board of Accounts wants the town to clearly specify the thresholds that would require multiple quotes or a formal bidding process.

At their last meeting, council members asked whether they could set different amounts for different departments. Town Attorney Justin Schramm noted that the town could designate an employee as a purchasing agent who could approve purchases within a certain threshold.

The town council will also get an update tonight on the five-year parks master plan. Tonight’s North Judson Town Council meeting starts at 6:30 at North Judson Town Hall.
