As a member of the Innovation Groups, the City of Carlsbad works with more
than 400 agencies in twenty-two states to improve productivity and save time
and money.
The City’s Purchasing Officer attended the Purchasing Alliance Steering
Committee in November and has been invited to participate in their next meeting
to be held in San Antonio, Texas in March and the Innovation Groups Annual
conference in June. Both of these meetings offer opportunities to network and
share important information related to procurement in public agencies.

about the Purchasing Alliance meetings that would be held during the year and
did not include them in the travel budget. The cost for the Purchasing Officer to
attend the two day meeting in March and the three day meeting in June will be
approximately $1,850.00. Staff is requesting the Council approve attendance to
the meetings and appropriate $1,850.00 from the General Fund Contingency
Account to cover the cost of the meetings.
