Reduce City Contractor Paperwork; Require Regular Meetings of Procurement Policy Board<\/p>\n This proposed amendment aims to reduce paperwork for City\u2019s contractors by authorizing the Procurement Policy Board to simplify the contractor questionnaire.

Fast track disposition of unused City property with approval from City Planning Commission.
