The ordinance replaces an inflation-indexed threshold with a flat 75,000 dollars, sets a five-year maximum for these contracts, and requires Council approval when a multi-year contract exceeds the threshold in any year. A technical amendment fixes clerical errors.
A Council member objected on October 28 that contracts could be approved without the Council knowing.
