The Board of Supervisors held back-to-back meetings on Wednesday (July 7), their last sessions ahead of their regular midsummer break.
Chair Mike Sheridan (Columbia) was away for the week, so Vice Chair Tony O’Brien (Rivanna) took the gavel for the three-and-a-half-hour session. During that time, supervisors voted on two action matters, listened to two presentations, held two public hearings, and sat in for a one-hour closed session.
SMALL PURCHASE POLICY
“Our small purchasing policy now only goes to $50,000,” said Toler.
Under the current county guidelines, anything above the $50,000 threshold requires the county to put out a formal solicitation for competitive bids, while anything below $50,000 requires between 1-4 price quotes depending on the total cost of the purchase.
