STATE OF NEW YORK

COUNTY OF CAYUGA

LOCAL LAW  NO. 1  FOR THE YEAR 2003

 

A LOCAL LAW SETTING THE PROCEDURE FOR EMERGENCY PURCHASES

OR CONTRACTS FOR SERVICES

 

BE IT ENACTED by the County Legislature of the County of Cayuga. New York, as follows:

 

Section A. Intent. The local law setting forth the duties and authority of the Chairman of the Legislature does not set forth the procedure for emergency purchases or emergency contracts for services other than to say that the Chairman "shall be the day‑to‑day administrative head of County government". This legislature has in the past incorporated limited emergency authority in resolutions dealing with specific issues but needs to have in place a local law setting forth an emergency procedure for purchases or contracts.

 

Section B. Procedure. The Chairman of this County Legislature (or the Vice‑Chairman if he/she is not available) is hereby authorized to make emergency purchases and/or emergency contracts for services as follows:

1.             If the amount involved is under $500 or the emergency is such that irreparable harm will take place if the procedure      set forth in the next paragraph is followed, the Chairman of the County Legislature (or the Vice‑Chairman if he/she           is not available) and the Department Head (or other suitable person in the department if he/she is not available) may               make the decision.

2.             Otherwise, the purchase or contract shall be approved by: The Chairman of this County Legislature (or the    Vice‑Chairman if he/she is not available), the Department Head (or other suitable person in the department if he/she is not available), the Chairman of Ways & Means, Chairman of the Oversight Committee, the Majority Leader and              the Minority Leader. If a legislator is not available or if any of said legislator positions is not filled at the time, then               another legislator with the most seniority on the committee or in the party shall be consulted.

3.             A meeting shall not be necessary.  Contact and approval by telephone or e‑mail is sufficient.

4.             Any such emergency purchase or contract, whichever paragraph above it was done under, shall be reported to the     County Legislature at its next meeting.

5.             An emergency is defined as a situation which may result in harm to person or property or cause the County significant operational difficulty or significant potential expense if the matter was to wait for a meeting to be called               or for the next legislature meeting.

 

Section C. Effective. This Local Law shall be subject to permissive referendum as set forth in section 24 of the Municipal Home Rule Law and shall take effect immediately upon completion of the procedural requirements for local laws subject to permissive referendum.
