Resolution No. 26-094
Adopting change order policy
Whereas, to expedite the approval of change orders that are within the city manager’s
purchasing authority, it is in the best interest of the city to update the change order policy; and
Whereas, the city council approved Resolution No. 09-116 on Sept. 9, 2009, adopting a
change order policy to update the procedure to process change orders to construction and
public improvement contracts; and
Whereas, in accordance with city charter, the city manager is the chief purchasing agent
of the city. The charter also states that city contracts must be made in compliance with state
law; and
Whereas, state law has increased the level of purchasing limits and the city council in
interested in increasing the level allowed for the city manager to administratively approve
change orders with limitations,
Now therefore be it resolved by the city council of the City of St. Louis Park,
Minnesota, that Resolution No. 09-116 is hereby rescinded and the change order policy is
amended to grant the city manager change order authority in accordance with the city charter
and state law.
