The Mount Clemens City Charter was adopted in 1954 and contains some provisions that are
outdated and no longer practical. One such provision requires sealed bids be obtained for all
sales and purchases in excess of $1,500.00. The Mount Clemens City Commission finds that it
is necessary and in the best interest of the City to seek voter approval to raise said amount from
$1,500.00 to $15,000.00, in order to adjust for inflation, expedite processing of invoices and
receipts, as well as improving operational efficiency and economy.
An amendment to Section 10.211, Sec.155 of Article 12 of the City Charter, to provide that
sealed bids for all sales and purchases in excess of $1,500.00, be increased to sealed bids for all
sales and purchases in excess of $15,000.00.
Shall the proposed amendment be adopted?
