ITEM EXPLANATION: 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. FISCAL IMPACT: When the Purchasing Budget was developed for 2000-01, staff did not know 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. EXHIBITS: 1.
